[02:50] <Sylphid> tux91, Way back in the days of Dapper, Canonical created what was then dubbed the Canonical Commercial Repository. Back then, a few items existed, such as SugarCRM and Opera. Some have been updated and/or migrated along the way to edgy/feisty/et al (opera)

[02:50] <Sylphid> tux91, however opera does host their own repo

[02:52] <FloodBot1> xun_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:52] <jtaji> chyea: the package is 'make'
[02:52] <mdg2> Bunny_: maybe we should substitue pan0 for eth0
[02:52] <tyta_linux> youre my only hope haha
[02:52] <rdw200169> chyea: just get build-essential
[02:52] <rich_> Bunny_ what does mii-tool say

[02:52] <rich_> run it from the cmd line as root
[02:52] <Hutch> mdg2: i fixed the usb headset problem with youtube etc. took it off the usb adapter and plugged it straight into the onboard sound, but now skype is giving hell to setup audio dvices
[02:52] <Drace> Jack just one thing, for the windows cd, will I have to use one thats the same as the one thats currently installed?
[02:52] <mib_5tb1ckml> the code is a sample code which comes with opencv

[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Drace, XP.. the 2000 or XP will do
[02:53] <mdg2> Hutch: why do you want to use it without USB adapter?
[02:53] <TheFunkbomb> jrib, something with my GPU.  I had the same problem with Open Office and I just turned anti-aliasing off but GE doesn't have that option
[02:53] <Drace> So a x64 Sp2 is just as good?
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[02:53] <mdg2> Bunny_: BINGO!  Need to use pan0
[02:54] <Drace> Ok, thanks
[02:54] <Hutch> mdg2: because with the USB adapter, sounds from browsers were not working, something to do with flash that wasnt allowing audio through the USB
[02:54] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[02:54] <mib_5tb1ckml> ill post up the actual code as well
[02:54] <xun_> so can anyone help? i've seem quite a bit similar problems online but with no resolution. why does the "connection inteerrupted" only appears in linux but not windows machine?

[02:57] <mroc> is there an easy alternative to e-mail attachments for sharing a large file with someone?  something simple perhaps?
[02:57] <TheFunkbomb> what is the technical name for the bar that says "file" "edit" and "view" etc
[02:57] <TheFunkbomb> ?
[02:57] <ralphv> dcc in irc
[02:57] <pyro2927> jrib: did they take out the fire animation out of compiz?
[02:57] <rich_> mroc, throw it up on an ftp server
[02:57] <Flannel> mroc: some sort of ftp? http?  There's *many* alternatives....
[02:58] <iratik> TheFunkBomb: menu bar
[02:58] <eseven73>  TheFunkbomb for what app?
[02:58] <rdw200169> mroc: yeah, ftp, samba, etc...
[02:58] <TheFunkbomb> okay
[02:58] <rdw200169> mroc: the *quickest* way is using ssh
[02:58] <kinja-sheep> Somebody say my name.  I'm testing the script.
[02:58] <mib_5tb1ckml> k thanks anyway guys
[02:58] <rdw200169> mroc: but that requires knowing each computers' password
[02:58] <pyro2927> kinja-sheep
[02:58] <jrib> pyro2927: no, it's still there
[02:58] <kinja-sheep> pyro2927: One more time.
[02:58] <sektor1952> I'm trying to recompile the kernel and I get an error when I run make menuconfig or make xconfig
[02:58] <pyro2927> kinja-sheep
[02:59] <Eliteslave> is there any program that I can use to connect to my tivo?
[02:59] <sektor1952> I was applying a patch for 1 of my nics
[02:59] <mroc> rich, Flannel, rdw200169: most of those sound like a decent amount of setup.  i have one large file i need to send along.  anything that wouldn't involve setting up my own server (ftp, ssh, or otherwise)?
[02:59] <ralphv> mroc, does the sendee have IRC?
[02:59] <gonewestcoast> mroc: Use rapidshare or similar.
[02:59] <pyro2927> jrib: it doesnt show up for me
[02:59] <rdw200169> mroc: well, ssh would require setting up a server, but you don't have to do any special configs, just apt-get install openssh-server
[03:00] <grendal_prime> im running xfce4 as a desktop..whats  a good file manager i can use in that enviro for dealing with compressed files..?
[03:00] <rich_> if your sending the file to a friend you can scp it over ( though this would need ssh)
[03:00] <jrib> pyro2927: are you looking in ccsm or simple-ccsm?
[03:00] <rdw200169> mroc: then, you can do a scp to transfer the file
[03:00] <Comet> xfm!
[03:00] <rdw200169> rich_, ah you beat me
[03:00] <rich_> >.<
[03:00] <eseven73> grendal_prime: xfce uses Thunar
[03:00] <Hutch> mdg2: ok so what i did was use headset>sound card for audio playback and headset>usb adapter>usb for sound capture. pretty damn stupid, but it works
[03:00] <rich_> You were well on your way to the same thing though lol
[03:00] <mdg2> Bunny_: "iface pan0 inet dhcp"
[03:00] <eseven73> grendal_prime: but you can use any filemanager really
[03:01] <sektor1952> the error I'm getting is file drivers/net/arcnet/Kconfig already scanned? when I try to run make menuconfig or make xconfig
[03:01] <Comet> grendal_prime: mc!
[03:01] <rdw200169> mroc: that, and with the openssh-server running default, you can browse it in nautilus quite easily, using Places -> Connect to Server...
[03:01] <Bllasae> Thanks again for all your help, Slart
[03:01] <pyro2927> simple ccsm
[03:01] <Bllasae> You've really improved my knowledge of Ubuntu
[03:01] <Flannel> mroc: there are some websites that will allow you to upload and other people to download, etc.
[03:01] <pyro2927> er
[03:01] <grendal_prime> is there a plugin ...in thunar for handleing...compressed files..because i dont see it
[03:01] <Bunny_> mdg2: Alredy did that, ran the network reset got "no DHCPOFFERS received"
[03:01] <pyro2927> jrib: ccsm
[03:01] <Bllasae> And everyone else who's helped me
[03:01] <Bllasae> thanks a lot
[03:01] <jrib> pyro2927: where are you looking?
[03:02] <mroc> thanks for the quick responses.  i'll look into some of those options.  maybe it's worth setting up the ssh.  if i get lazy, maybe i'll go with the third party website thing.  thanks for the help everyone
[03:02] <mdg2> Bunny_: Well, at least we know it is using pan0
[03:02] <rdw200169> mroc: seriously, ssh is just a matter of 'apt-get install openssh-server
[03:02] <smartguyz> rdw200169: thank you for taking the time to help me....
[03:02] <rdw200169> smartguyz: hey, no prob
[03:02] <rdw200169> smartguyz: if you had nvidia, i could help you more, because that's what i use
[03:03] <jrib> pyro2927: just use the channel please
[03:03] <mroc> rdw200169: the person on the other end probably isn't going to know how to do ssh.  and i don't have the spare time to set up things and show them.
[03:03] <eseven73> grendal_prime: that i dont know have you tried google for 'Thunar plugins'?
[03:03] <pyro2927> jrib: under the advanced settings for 'animations'
[03:03] <mdg2> Bunny_: Did you "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restat"
[03:03] <Bunny_> mdg2: Yep
[03:03] <gonewestcoast> rdw200169: What's the Official Debian Way of starting the sshd server after it's installed, anyway?
[03:03] <mdg2> Bunny_: after you save the file with pan0 in it?
[03:03] <rdw200169> mroc: ah, this is over the internet isn't it
[03:03] <smartguyz> rdw200169: much appreciated I really appreciate the support..... hooked on ubuntu even though I do not know everything about how it works...
[03:03] <Bunny_> mdg2: Yep
[03:03] <Flannel> gonewestcoast: It starts automatically once you install it, so... "wait"
[03:03] <rdw200169> gonewestcoast: Flannel is correct
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> pyro2927, Are you trying to figure out animations like burn etc
[03:04] <gonewestcoast> Flannel: Please tell me you're kidding.
[03:04] <jrib> pyro2927: I can't find it either now.  I know I had it on my laptop though.  Maybe #compiz-fusion can tell you more
[03:04] <Flannel> gonewestcoast: No
[03:04] <mroc> rdw200169: well, probably.  i was trying to figure out the easiest way.
[03:04] <grendal_prime> thunar archive plugin...there it is..thanks
[03:04] <gonewestcoast> So Ubuntu doesn't draw a distinction between "installed" and "running?"
[03:04] <Flannel> gonewestcoast: But, you can restart/stop/start etc it.
[03:04] <eseven73> grendal_prime: cool :)
[03:04] <mdg2> Bunny_: back on the desktop, right click the networking icon in the menu bar
[03:04] <Bunny_> mdg2: Ok
[03:04] <Flannel> gonewestcoast: Well, it does.  It installs, and part of the post-install stuff is to start it
[03:04] <rdw200169> gonewestcoast: that or, /etc/init.d/ssh start
[03:04] <gonewestcoast> Flannel: How, by calling /etc/rc.d/sshd stop?
[03:04] <mdg2> Bunny_: what does "connection information" show now?
[03:04] <Flannel> gonewestcoast: /etc/init.d/ssh stop
[03:04] <Bunny_> mdg2: Still grey
[03:04] <gonewestcoast> Ah, they live in init.d here. Okay.
[03:05] <rdw200169> gonewestcoast: yup, that's where the init scripts are hidden
[03:05] <mdg2> Bunny_: If you double left click - what happens
[03:05] <Flannel> gonewestcoast: Although, as of Intrepid theres something like "service ssh stop"
[03:05] <jrib> pyro2927: oh, in simple-ccsm, I click on "enable extra animations" and then it gives me the "burn" option
[03:05] <mdg2> Bunny_: Single left click
[03:05] <smartguyz> rdw200169: been using youtube a lot for UBUNTU installation configurations, vbox, ect...
[03:05] <rdw200169> Flannel: gonewestcoast, yeah, i'm using 8.04 so i don't know about 8.10, shouldn't be much different though
[03:05] <Bunny_> mdg2: In grey "Wired Network" "auto eth0"
[03:05] <gonewestcoast> Yeah, I'm used to the RedHat and FreeBSD ways of doing it, just haven't done much with Debian yet.
[03:05] <Flannel> rdw200169: The initd stuff still exists, there's just another abstraction
[03:05] <rdw200169> smartguyz: you tube is good, but so is help.ubuntu.com
[03:06] <rdw200169> Flannel: that's what i figured
[03:06] <mdg2> Is there a little circle next to that?
[03:06] <rdw200169> gonewestcoast: i really like the debian way of doing things ;)
[03:06] <jrib> pyro2927: and looks like "animations-addon" in ccsm
[03:07] <rdw200169> smartguyz: the ubuntu website, and the ubuntu forums, is a huge wealth of information on all kinds of crazy things
[03:07] <Bunny_> mdg2: Yes, also greyed out
[03:07] <Jack_Sparrow> pyro2927 For Animations like Burning windows.. Open ccsm.  Under Effects.. Enable Animations and Animations add-ons... Double click Animations.. You will see tabs for Open, Close, Minimize etc... On the tab marked Open Select.. New.. Where it says open Effect Select... Burn.. Set Duration to 150.. For Window Match.. Type (type=Normal | Menu | PopupMenu | DropdownMenu | Dialog | ModalDialog)
[03:07] <mdg2> Bunny_: No black dot in the circle?
[03:07] <Bunny_> mdg2: No
[03:07] <mdg2> Bunny_: try clicking on it
[03:07] <mdg2> Bunny_: the circle
[03:07] <Bunny_> mdg2: Nothing
[03:07] <pyro2927> Jack_Sparrow: Burn isnt listed anymore
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> yea it is
[03:08] <mdg2> Bunny_:  Do you get a menu option under that for "manual configuration?"
[03:08] <Bunny_> mdg2: No
[03:08] <rdw200169> gonewestcoast: i'm working on a project that involves installing debian onto a soekris board for a embedded router solution
[03:08] <Bunny_> mdg2: I can do "edit connections" when I right click

[03:16] <Flannel> gambler: For a package in the repositories? or an arbitrary deb?
[03:16] <gambler> For an installed package

[03:16] <gambler> Flannel: it was. Ive installed it now
[03:16] <rdw200169> mroc: then make sure the volume is up or the switch is set correctly
[03:16] <Flannel> gambler: Ah.  apt-cache show [package]
[03:17] <Flannel> gambler: but, you may be more interested in the README.Debian (dpkg -L package | grep README)
[03:17] <gambler> yep thats it. ty :)

[03:19] <Flannel> mdg2: It'll show whatever you currently have in your apt-cache
[03:19] <rdw200169> mroc: then, under the switches tab, there might be a headphones check-box
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> klotho, I think it is.. sudo do-release upgrade
[03:19] <Flannel> klotho: you're upgrading *to* 7.04 from 6.10?
[03:19] <ericjung> i want to install ubuntu and vista together dual-boot, but i don't want to use WUBI because i want to be able to hibernate Ubuntu. What's the best way?
[03:19] <klotho> Flannel: yes
[03:20] <rdw200169> ericjung: well, first you've got to shrink the vista partition
[03:20] <rdw200169> ericjung: to make some space to install ubuntu
[03:20] <mdg2> Flannel: can apt-cache search querry specifically 8.04 repos?
[03:20] <Flannel> klotho: oh right.  I could've figured that out on my own.  You need to change your repos to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ then follow the upgrade instructions here:
[03:20] <ericjung> rdw200169: already done
[03:20] <Flannel> !upgrade | klotho
[03:20] <klotho> Flannel: how do I change the repos?
[03:20] <Flannel> klotho: edit your sources.list
[03:20] <Flannel> mdg2: You may be interested in packages.ubuntu.com
[03:20] <klotho> Flannel: cool, where is that?
[03:20] <rdw200169> ericjung: then just install normally, i believe grub will boot vista normally via the chainloader
[03:20] <Flannel> klotho: /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:21] <mdg2> Flannel: Thanks!  going there now.
[03:21] <rdw200169> ericjung: though i don't know for sure because I haven't done it personally
[03:21] <klotho> Flannel: grrreat!
[03:21] <ericjung> rdw200169: install vista or ubuntu first?
[03:21] <Meshezabeel> why when setting a static ip in ubuntu, the dhcp always comes back on a reboot?
[03:21] <rdw200169> ericjung: the ubuntu installer should find the empty space, and by default install there
[03:21] <rdw200169> ericjung: vista first
[03:21] <mroc> rdw200169: well, the new things i check show up, but nothing called headphones still.  checked them all off, all volume is up, doesn't appear to give me headphones sound.
[03:21] <rdw200169> ericjung: otherwise you end up with this:
[03:21] <rdw200169> !grub | ericjung
[03:21] <rdw200169> mroc: i don't know then... :(
[03:22] <ericjung> !ubuntu | ubottu
[03:22] <mroc> rdw200169: me neither.  thanks for your efforts though, i appreciate it.
[03:22] <rdw200169> if you install vista second, it will rewrite grub
[03:22] <ericjung> ok
[03:23] <Hikeractive> how i use the sleep command in sessions to delay mail-notification from starting immediately? Is it just appname sleep x?
[03:23] <klotho> Flannel:  just add a deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/  line at the top of the file?
[03:23] <mdg2> Bunny_: Anything good happening?
[03:23] <Flannel> klotho: No, change all of the http://cc.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lines to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[03:24] <WetWired_ALUG> Anyone know how to keep your display from turning off? It's not going to screensaver, it's like it's going to sleep. Highly annoying. Nothing I've tried has helped.
[03:24] <Bunny_> mdg2: I just tried sudo lshw -c network...It shows my ethernet card there, then pan0. The ethernet card network says DISABLED, pan0 does not
[03:24] <rdw200169> Meshezabeel: is dhcp set in your /etc/network/interfaces file?
[03:24] <klotho> Flannel: cool, thanks
[03:24] <rich_> WetWired_ALUG, add acpi=no to your grub config
[03:24] <Bunny_> mdg2: Logical name for the ethernet says eth0
[03:25] <WetWired_ALUG> grub config? really? I didn't figure it'd be in there
[03:25] <mdg2> Bunny_: What kind of computer is this?
[03:25] <Bunny_> mdg2: Desktop
[03:25] <mdg2> Bunny_: What brand etc.
[03:25] <rdw200169> Meshezabeel: it's either there, or something to do with NetworkManager
[03:25] <Bunny_> mdg2: No brand, I made it myself
[03:25] <wakest> would anyone be willing to help me for a sec with an installation issue on a macbook?
[03:25] <bullgard4> What are chroots? As in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html. (Up to now I only know a chroot command.)
[03:25] <mdg2> Bunny_: WOW :)
[03:25] <rich_> quit
[03:26] <Bunny_> mdg2: I'm not stupid, I just have no idea how Linux operates :P
[03:26] <Meshezabeel> rdw200169: I believe so, the machines are at work though, so not sure, but in networkmanager, we take out the dhcp setting, and replace it with a manual setting, and once the machines are rebooted, the dhcp comes back
[03:26] <rdw200169> Bunny_: did you manufacture the boards too? (hah, joke, kidding)
[03:26] <rdw200169> Meshezabeel: then it's likely in /etc/network/interfaces
[03:26] <Hikeractive> how i use the sleep command in sessions to delay mail-notification from starting immediately? Is it just appname sleep x?
[03:26] <Bunny_> mdg2: Though I know Windows inside and out lol
[03:26] <mdg2> Bunny_: In a terminal type "dmesg"
[03:26] <mdg2> Bunny_: may need you for windows at work :)
[03:27] <wakest> please?
[03:27] <rdw200169> Meshezabeel: the /etc/init.d/network script takes that configuration file for setting up the network; that's where you put static settings, read the man page: man interfaces
[03:27] <bork> ALSA won't stop when shutting down -- any ideas why this is?
[03:27] <Bunny_> mdg2: dmesg wrote two tons of stuff in my terminal
[03:27] <klotho> flannel: how about the lines that say security.ubuntu.com?
[03:27] <mdg2> Bunny_: shift + page up to scroll back up - looking for network card stuff
[03:27] <Flannel> klotho: Those go to old-releases as well
[03:27] <klotho> btw, this file doesn't have cc.whatever only archive.whatever
[03:28] <Bunny_> mdg2: Specific text?
[03:28] <Flannel> klotho: that's fine. "cc." can be missing
[03:28] <klotho> requiring users to edit files to upgrade is kinda dum
[03:28] <mdg2> Bunny_: You are looking for pan0 and eth0
[03:28] <klotho> why move things?
[03:29] <klotho> Flannel: thanks a bunch!
[03:29] <Flannel> klotho: Er... Had you upgraded while Edgy was suported, you wouldn't have to.
[03:29] <rdw200169> wakest: i read your problem earlier, but i've got nothing
[03:29] <Flannel> klotho: As is, Edgy has been unsupported for almosta year now.
[03:29] <Bllasae> How do you transfer profiles from Windows to Ubuntu?
[03:29] <mdg2> Bunny_: What kind of network card did you put in this computer?
[03:30] <klotho> Flannel: thing is, you can't assume users will upgrade, and those who don't are probably less linux savvy,so there's no reason to make things more difficult
[03:30] <runner23> got a weird issue I've never had before on ubuntu.... total OS lockup while opening a file
[03:30] <Bunny_> mdg2: SiS900 on-board
[03:30] <Flannel> klotho: If you use update-manager, you'd get notifications about Feisty being released, and a suggestion to upgrade (for a year about, before edgy went EOL)
[03:31] <klotho> Flannel: I have no argument with you at all. I'm just saying it doesn't make sense to change things so that they break if you don't have to
[03:31] <Flannel> klotho: And also, Edgy's repos stayed online for around 4 months after it was EOL (in the same place).  In the future, you may wish to stick with the LTS releases, which you only need to upgrade once every few years.
[03:31] <mdg2> Bunny_: Finding anything in dmesg?
[03:32] <Flannel> klotho: Not broken.  But the errors from getting packages is a good way to indicate to people that they need to figure out "whats wrong" instead of them blindly running insecure versions
[03:32] <mdg2> Bunny_: You got another network card you can throw in there?
[03:32] <Bunny_> mdg2 nope
[03:32] <Bllasae> How do you transfer profiles from Windows to Ubuntu?
[03:32] <mdg2> Bunny_: Will this computer be dual booting?
[03:33] <Bunny_> mdg2 nope
[03:33] <klotho> Flannel: my grandmother or girlfriend would never figure it out.
[03:33] <mdg2> Bunny_: That makes it easier
[03:33] <runner23> Bllasae did you install on same HD? If so Ubuntu asked me on first boot if I want to copy contents of profiles folders
[03:33] <klotho> in fact, I looked around online and didn't find anything
[03:34] <klotho> so unless someone knows to come here, they seem to be SOL
[03:34] <mdg2> Bunny_: BTW, you can type "dmesg | less" and use page up/down
[03:34] <Bllasae> I asked me but the folder wasn't there
[03:34] <Flannel> klotho: Then they'd never realise they need to upgrade, and never try to upgrade either.  They'd still be running Edgy, which has the ssl random number problem, etc.
[03:34] <mdg2> Bunny_: You can also use edit to search for pan0
[03:34] <nickrud> klotho, can't argue about that; why not add/check brainstorm for a better way to inform people
[03:34] <klotho> Flannel: they'd realize they need an upgrade because the system tells you to upgrade and shows that there's a 7.04 upgrade availabe, but then when you try it breaks
[03:35] <Bunny_> mdg2: Here's what's strange to me....
[03:35] <runner23> You've looked in your home folder?
[03:35] <Flannel> klotho: I suggest after you upgrade to 7.04, you upgrade to 7.10 then 8.04.  And stop there.  In a few years, you'll be able to upgrade straight from 8.04 to 10.04 (and you have until 11.04 to do so before the desktop stuffs go out of support)
[03:35] <ld50> I have a PC with internet and I would like to share the conection with two PC's, PC-A has gentoo, PC-B has ubunto; both can ping the gateway, but only PC-A has internet, both route -n outputs are the same, any idea?
[03:35] <Bunny_> mdg2: When I type lshw -c network, the SiS900 comes up as eth0
[03:35] <Flannel> klotho: No, For *a year* of the system telling them there's an upgrde it was in the same location it was in, and they wouldn't have had to do anything but click "Upgrade"
[03:35] <ll> Hi, thank you to whoever gave me the pointer to some help pages for Mythbuntu. However I am somewhat of a Ubuntu newbie and I tried to fix my problem before coming here. And the pages are interesting and helpful, but I can't figure out what I need to do. My problem is during the MythTV Setup. I've checked the /etc/mythtv/mythtv mysql.txt file and the problem doesn't seem to be the password. I am unable to get past the "Database Configuration"
[03:35] <ll> . I have manuall started mysql. When I start the MythTV Backend Setup it asks if it ok to stop any previously running processes. Could the problem be that mysql is also stopped at that time??
[03:36] <mdg2> Bunny_: So pan0 shows an inet addr, but when you querry hardware it shows eth0 right?
[03:36] <klotho> Flannel: I'm still getting errors on upgrade with it looking for security.etc. I double checked that file and every line is edited with old-sources. anything else I should check?
[03:36] <Bunny_> mdg2: Yes
[03:36] <Flannel> ll: You may have more luck in #ubuntu-mythtv
[03:36] <Gemmie78> Hello
[03:36] <ll> ah, thank you Flannel.
[03:36] <Flannel> klotho: You need to move security to old-releases too
[03:37] <bullgard4> What are chroots? As in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html. (Up to now I only know a chroot command.)
[03:37] <mdg2> Bunny_: Did you see anything in dmesg about pan0 and eth0?
[03:37] <klotho> Flannel: is that another file? I did change those lines in sources.list
[03:37] <Gemmie78> I've recently downloaded Banshee Music Player and would like to use that as my default music player
[03:37] <nickrud> bullgard4, chroots are the environment you are in when you chroot.
[03:38] <Gemmie78> I've selected it as my preferred multimedia application in preferred applications, but when I open an mp3 file, totem still loads
[03:38] <Flannel> klotho: Check /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for files
[03:38] <bullgard4> nickrud: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining.
[03:38] <Gemmie78> What can I do to correct the issue
[03:38] <Bunny_> mdg2: Yes. "pan0: no IPv6 routers present"
[03:38] <mdg2> Bunny_: that's normal - mine shows that - I don't use IPv6
[03:38] <klotho> Flannel: it does have some files in it
[03:38] <roger_> right click mp3 file and select properties, then open with add or select banshee
[03:38] <nickrud> bullgard4, always a pleasure to see you
[03:38] <Flannel> klotho: Check those files for similar things.
[03:38] <Gemmie78> Will I need to do this with all mp3 files?
[03:38] <ld50> can i configure my network with manually ifconfig/route/resolv.conf or ubuntu has some process that manages this?
[03:39] <mdg2> Bunny_: You are looking for "Link up" with pan0 or eth0
[03:39] <roger_> no, just 1
[03:39] <mdg2> Bunny_: BTW, if you use "dmesg | less" you can search by typing "/eth0"
[03:39] <usser> ld50: yea sure you can do it, if u modify interfaces file ubuntu's network manager will just ignore that interface
[03:39] <klotho> Flannel: thanks again
[03:39] <mdg2> Bunny_: I'm still learning linux
[03:39] <maddash> hi. i'm getting a lot weird messages in dmesg|less: "PM: Removing info for No Bus:XXXXX" where XXXXX ranges from "event7", "input0", and "usbdev..."
[03:39] <Gemmie78> Thank you roger_
[03:40] <nickrud> ld50, you can; ubuntu has 2 major methods: /etc/network/interfaces and NetworkManager
[03:40] <maddash> what exactly is "PM"?
[03:40] <bullgard4> nickrud: :-)
[03:40] <roger_> did that work for you Gemmie78
[03:40] <ld50> nickrud, usser thanks
[03:40] <Bunny_> mdg2: eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd000, IRQ 5, 00:00:00:00:00:00
[03:41] <[Muel]Eliot> Were can i get help for installing a program?
[03:41] <nickrud> [Muel]Eliot, depends on the program and where you got it
[03:41] <Gemmie78> That worked perfectly
[03:41] <Gemmie78> You solved this issue in the first go, thanks
[03:41] <roger_> np
[03:41] <YankDownUnder> [Muel]Eliot, What do you need to know?
[03:41] <[Muel]Eliot> http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/
[03:42] <Gemmie78> Just too easy for you
[03:42] <[Muel]Eliot> dunno how to install it
[03:42] <mdg2> Bunny_: So your Sis900 is seen and configure as eth0, but no inet addr there
[03:42] <klotho> Flannel: hmm.. now it's giving me some errors like Failed to fetch http://old-sources.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-commercial/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[03:42] <Bunny_> mdg2: Yup
[03:42] <YankDownUnder> [Muel]Eliot, Is is a program in the repos?
[03:42] <saera> hi anyone know how to send a fax using an eee pc on ubuntu  8.10 ?
[03:42] <Gemmie78> I want to also know 2 more things, Firefox and Opera, what are the browsers that you folks are using?
[03:42] <[Muel]Eliot> YankDownUnder, dont think so
[03:42] <Flannel> klotho: Oh, it's old-releases not old-sources, and I don't think there's any commercial component there, just go ahead and comment (#) that line out
[03:42] <YankDownUnder> Firefox
[03:42] <roger_> both
[03:43] <YankDownUnder> [Muel]Eliot, Well, what is the program you want to install?
[03:43] <axelhm> hello. I'm using ubuntu 8.10 and the gnome desktop. the command ctrl+alt+F(1-6) does nothing while I'm logged into gnome. but it does go to the fullscreen terminal when I am on the gdm login screen. ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work either.
[03:43] <nickrud> [Muel]Eliot, that looks like a sample program, written to use specific chip sets; do you have the ones mentioned on the page?
[03:43] <klotho> Flannel: do I have to change everything to releases?
[03:43] <[Muel]Eliot> http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/
[03:43] <Gemmie78> I'm currently running in a fairly weak notebook and want to try and maximise whatever performance I have out of this machine
[03:43] <[Muel]Eliot> I have no clue, uhm how can i tell?
[03:43] <Flannel> klotho: old-sources shouldn't work as far as I know.  it's old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[03:43] <Gemmie78> Should I stick with firefox, or is it true Opera is more leaner on resources
[03:43] <nickrud> [Muel]Eliot, note the dates on the changelog as well. Something like that is probably non-funtional now. and either   lspci or lsusb will show the wireless chip
[03:43] <eseven73>  opera is leaner
[03:43] <MK13> both browsers have their ups and down
[03:43] <klotho> flannel: not canonical.com?
[03:43] <Gemmie78> Secondly, do you all stick with evolution as your default email client or do you use thunderbird
[03:44] <YankDownUnder> [Muel]Eliot, Er...without me opening a browser, what can you tell me about the program - and have you looked to see if someone's converted it to a DEB for Ubuntu?
[03:44] <axelhm> did someone see my post? :x
[03:44] <mdg2> Bunny_: Am reading a post at ubuntuforums.com about Sis900
[03:44] <klotho> Flannel: do I edit the commercial sources? they were .canonical.com
[03:44] <Bllasae> I found my firefox folder but what do i do with my profiles folder?
[03:45] <YankDownUnder> [Muel]Eliot, Er...just looked for a grin...what you'd need to do is to get all the dependencies to compile it on your own matey
[03:45] <Flannel> klotho: Just remove them.  comment them out
[03:45] <[Muel]Eliot> christ guys i dont know what im doing lol
[03:45] <[Muel]Eliot> i got this out of terminal
[03:45] <[Muel]Eliot> http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/
[03:45] <[Muel]Eliot> fucl
[03:45] <nickrud> Gemmie78, I use thunderbird, better imap support
[03:45] <[Muel]Eliot> didnt coppy soryr
[03:45] <FloodBot2> [Muel]Eliot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:45] <Flannel> [Muel]Eliot: Please watch your language.
[03:45] <Gemmie78> Finally is there a way to find out your exact hardware stats in ubuntu
[03:45] <Jonatha1> wow.
[03:45] <MK13> windows 7 is taking forever to install :(
[03:45] <Flannel> MK13: Please keep this channel ontopic, thanks.
[03:45] <[Muel]Eliot> 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 03)
[03:45] <maddash> rofl
[03:45] <YankDownUnder> Windows 7 is nothing but Vista redone
[03:45] <nickrud> Gemmie78, try   sudo lspci | less for real details
[03:46] <Bllasae> Why does Firefox say "No programs that contain bookmarks, history or password data could be found"????????????
[03:46] <axelhm> my post got flooded away :x. may I post it again?
[03:46] <Bllasae> I copied the folder to the desktop
[03:46] <nickrud> Gemmie78, erm, sudo lshw | less I mean
[03:46] <Jonatha1> Can I get help in here on a certain problem involving my package manager?
[03:46] <MK13> i am on topic, it is running in virtual machine one ubuntu ;)
[03:46] <Bllasae> How does Firefox know that there isn't anything in it
[03:46] <Gemmie78> Just a basic hardware information check, I've tried the hardware info check, but I just
[03:46] <heirrook> i have a nanorc file in /etc/ and it will not work.  For some strange reason, when I open the file nanorc with nano, then the options i have in nanorc apply?
[03:46] <MK13> on*
[03:46] <mdg2> Bunny_: No solution to that post, but he had pan0 showing as well
[03:46] <Flannel> axelhm: Every 15-25 minutes is a good rate of repeat.
[03:46] <Vantrax> YankDownUnder, Windows 7's version number is 6.1, vista was 6
[03:46] <Gemmie78> just type that in terminal?
[03:46] <nickrud> Jonatha1, possibly, ask away
[03:46] <axelhm> Flannel, ok thanks
[03:46] <Jonatha1> kk
[03:46] <nickrud> Gemmie78, yes. Page up/down to scroll
[03:47] <Gemmie78> Only need to just doublecheck ram, and spec of cpu
[03:47] <Flannel> axelhm: I'd check launchpad bug reports, we've had a few instances of that not happening.  If you need to get to a TTY from gnome, you can use sudo chvt # (where # is 1-6)
[03:47] <Jonatha1> I got this from my terminal when I run apt-get
[03:47] <Jonatha1> Reading package lists... Error!
[03:47] <Jonatha1> E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
[03:47] <Jonatha1> E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ca.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy-proposed_main_binary-amd64_Packages
[03:47] <Jonatha1> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[03:47] <FloodBot2> Jonatha1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:47] <Gemmie78> sudo lshw
[03:47] <Flannel> Jonatha1: don't use hardy-proposed
[03:47] <YankDownUnder> Vantrax, Should be still re-numbered to more like 1.1b
[03:47] <klotho> Flannel: it says No valid mirror found
[03:47] <MakuseruSukotto> Hi, i recently installed 8.10, and when ever i go to boot up it gets to where it loads the grub and then it says "Error 17" and i cannot input anything after that. What causes this and how can i fix it?
[03:47] <MK13> any here use ubuntu on an acer by any chance?
[03:47] <Bunny_> mdg2: Guess they'll get around to it in six months? lol
[03:47] <klotho> Flannel: do you want to rewrite your sources.list anyway? should I say yes?
[03:47] <Flannel> klotho: please pastebin your sources.list (and the contents of the other ones)
[03:48] <[Muel]Eliot> MK13, yes, my brother has an acer aspire 7720 with ubuntu working fine on it.
[03:48] <Jonatha1> what you mean by hardy-proposed?
[03:48] <klotho> Flannel: I said yes and it seems happy at the moment
[03:48] <runner23> Anyone ever heard of hard lockups on Ubuntu 8.10? Starts with app thats open, then Menus and then mouse will finally quit working after about 60 seconds after logging in.
[03:48] <Flannel> Jonatha1: You've enabled the -proposed repositories for hardy.  Disable them.  You don't want to have them enabled
[03:48] <klotho> Flannel: oops. no it's not
[03:48] <Jonatha1> ahh
[03:48] <nickrud> Jonatha1, system->admin->software sources, find proposed, and uncheck it
[03:48] <Jonatha1> well how do I disable them?
[03:48] <jigpe> hello how to install a game.tar.gz?its a game.i wanna play it in desktop ubuntu 8.04
[03:48] <Jonatha1> kk
[03:48] <klotho> it modified everything  back to archive.ubuntu.com and then failed
[03:48] <Vantrax> runner23, check your logs and see what ran just before locking up
[03:49] <nomingzi> can I run fsck command for NTFS partition ?
[03:49] <Vantrax> jigpe, you unpack the file (its like a zip)
[03:49] <Flannel> klotho: pastebin your sources.list (and the contents of each file in sources.list.d)
[03:49] <mdg2> Bunny_: Found a page about sis900 in linux:  www.brownhat.org/sis900.html
[03:49] <nickrud> Jonatha1, it may be named as testing repository or similar verbiage

[03:49] <Jonatha1> in software sources?
[03:49] <Flannel> Jonatha1: Yes
[03:49] <Gemmie78> Thanks for that hardware check help nickrud
[03:49] <MakuseruSukotto> Hi, i recently installed 8.10, and when ever i go to boot up it gets to where it loads the grub and then it says "Error 17" and i cannot input anything after that. What causes this and how can i fix it?
[03:50] <Reptile> http://ihatekaty.com/?id=80360#6dzz5z54fsdq7ez78z8d
[03:50] <eseven73> jigpe: have you checked to see if the game is in the repos first? or if there's a .deb for it?
[03:50] <jigpe> Vantrax like extract?
[03:50] <nickrud> Jonatha1, yes
[03:51] <Jonatha1> I dont see anything like that.. ..
[03:51] <Jonatha1> I have my tabs up..
[03:51] <Jonatha1> which one would it be under?
[03:51] <runner23> Vantrax problem is the OS locks up 15-60 seconds after logging in
[03:51] <CITguy-Hermes> anybody had issues with gnome-app-install not showing any apps?
[03:51] <Vantrax> jigpe yes
[03:51] <Jonatha1> Ubuntu software, Third Party Software?
[03:51] <eseven73> !enter | Jonatha1
[03:51] <Vantrax> runner23, you can access the logs on a live cd my mounting the root partition, or in recovery mode
[03:51] <Flannel> Jonatha1: It's under the "updates" tab
[03:52] <portz> Back with another minor problem: Can't delete files.

[03:52] <donavan_> Can anyone suggest a PDF editor ... I have document viewer for gnome but it doesnt seem to let me edit PDFs
[03:52] <CITguy-Hermes> Jonatha1: I switch the category but nothing shows
[03:52] <jigpe> eseven73 : I've already checked it and there is no StepMania game...the file is StepMania-3.9a-linux.tar.gz
[03:53] <Jonatha1> kk I have important security updates, Recommended Updates, Pre released updates and unsupported updates in there
[03:53] <Flannel> Jonatha1: right, uncheck pre-release and possibly unsupported-updates
[03:53] <jigpe> Vantrax : the file is StepMania-3.9a-linux.tar.gz ..i already right click>extrack in the folder but I couldn't find the icon so it could run or just like in windows there is .exe
[03:53] <Jonatha1> >.< never mind I see the proposed now just to the left of Pre released *sigh*
[03:54] <Gemmie78> Another question, is there a way to make your PIDGIN messenger client run off UTC time
[03:54] <eseven73> jigpe: sometimes you have to log out for icons to show up
[03:54] <Jonatha1> thanks guys
[03:54] <Adrian2MiL8> hello
[03:54] <Vantrax> jigpe, is there a folder with .deb files in it
[03:54] <Gemmie78> Despite selecting the correct time server, my time is incorrect unless I select the UTC checkbox in the settings
[03:54] <Gemmie78> doing so, I get the correct time in the top right corner of my screen
[03:54] <mdg2> Bunny_: I found a post that might work
[03:54] <Gemmie78> however for applications, it still believes the incorrect time, not my local time
[03:54] <Gemmie78> Any ideas?
[03:55] <Bunny_> mdg2: Alright
[03:55] <Jonatha1> uh oh... I just received an error message
[03:55] <ltgg> is it possible to get Logitech controllers ( jstick/rumblepad ) working in Ubuntu?
[03:55] <klotho> Flannel: what do you think?
[03:55] <Flannel> klotho: Alright, remove all the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and then make your /etc/apt/sources.list have the following (and nothing else): http://paste.ubuntu.com/104676/
[03:55] <Adrian2MiL8> a little question ...anyone known how change the envyng from 173 to 181 nvidia driver ???
[03:55] <portz> Unable to delete files that are read only. Suggestions?
[03:55] <Jonatha1> I might need some more help in a moment . .
[03:56] <MakuseruSukotto> Hi, i recently installed 8.10, and when ever i go to boot up it gets to where it loads the grub and then it says "Error 17" and i cannot input anything after that. What causes this and how can i fix it?
[03:56] <Doonz> Hey guys How can i change the repositories from a local one to the main one. the local one is horribly slow
[03:56] <Kristopher> does the ubuntu live cd have a partition manager (to resize and create partitions) ?
[03:56] <portz> Kristopher: yes
[03:56] <eseven73> jigpe: wait, you're gonna need to do more than extract that tar to get an icon... is there like an 'install.sh' file?
[03:56] <Flannel> Kristopher: Yes, Gnome Partition Manager (gparted)
[03:56] <jigpe> Vantrax : no .deb
[03:57] <Kristopher> thanks - but i tried the gparted live cd and that wasn't displaying properly, so i couldn't use it. might the ubuntu one work better?
[03:57] <runner23> @Vantrax I'm at root shell prompt and it keeps telling me var/log/ isn't a valid directory and trying to change to / is ignored
[03:57] <Flannel> Kristopher: It may, yes.
[03:57] <bork> my computer's sound works in Windows (so there is no hardware problem, probably), but it's started only making a crackling noise in Ubuntu... any ideas?
[03:57] <matt> I may have gotten in over my head. I sorta promised a friend and her mom that I could put their house on craigslist and ebay, which is no big deal. I also mentioned that I'd probably be able to create "360's" of the rooms in their house. I remember seeing something about software that does this in linux. Anyone know what it'd be called?
[03:57] <klotho> Flannel: cool, thanks! trying it again
[03:57] <jigpe> eseven73 : nope there is no install.sh
[03:57] <eseven73> jigpe: usually there's a doc directory you should see, if so, then go into that directory and view the help files
[03:58] <Flannel> matt: hugin is a panorama picture thing
[03:58] <opera> !wubi
[03:58] <Kristopher> is it just an app once ubuntu starts? or do i have to look for it somewhere else?
[03:58] <Flannel> Kristopher: It'll be under System > Administration I believe
[03:58] <eseven73> jigpe: look for 'doc' 'install' 'readme'
[03:58] <klotho> Flannel: it's still giving me No Valid Mirror Found
[03:58] <Flannel> klotho: How are you editing this?
[03:58] <klotho> pico
[03:58] <Flannel> klotho: Alright, and what's telling you no valid mirror found?
[03:59] <Kristopher> thanks guys :)
[03:59] <klotho> the upgrade tool
[03:59] <Vantrax> jigpe, there is probably a setup script or you need to run a make command then
[03:59] <matt> Flannel: exaclty what I was looking for. Now...perhaps you'll know this. in either flash, html, or javascript...do you know a free way to display these things really cool on a website?
[03:59] <Flannel> klotho: (you're actually using nano, but that's ok).    You might try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:59] <matt> Flannel: Alright...I'll try.
[03:59] <ltgg> any help? yes/no?
[03:59] <klotho> Flannel: no errors
[03:59] <Adrian2MiL8> ..a little question ...anyone known how to change the envyng from 173 to 181 nvidia driver ???
[04:00] <runner23> @Bllasae because Ubuntu doesn't copy them as they are a different format
[04:00] <Bllasae> what do i do
[04:00] <Flannel> klotho: Alright, then that's set up properly.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades  should be able to get you the rest of the way through the upgrade
[04:00] <runner23> @Bllasae export your bookmarks in windows and reimport them in ubuntu
[04:00] <portz> @Bllasae: Relax a bit.
[04:01] <Bllasae> I need to move the extension settings too runner23
[04:01] <Bllasae> @portz, I've been trying this for the past hour
[04:01] <portz> Still unable to delete files that are read only. Suggestions?
[04:01] <runner23> @Bllasae bookmark.html is just a list of your bookmarks, there shouldn't be any extension settings
[04:01] <Bllasae> Yeah, but I need to move my extension settings too
[04:01] <Flannel> portz: what sorts of files?
[04:02] <portz> .bik, .exe, .cab
[04:02] <runner23> @Bllasae check the extension settings and see if they have a export feature
[04:02] <portz> I tried copying a CD to my disk, but want it gone.
[04:02] <CITguy-Hermes> with Intrepid, is there a reason why I don't see any applications in the "Add/Remove" application?
[04:02] <ltgg> anyone?
[04:02] <Flannel> portz: can you create files in the same directory?
[04:02] <Flannel> !helpme | ltgg
[04:03] <klotho> Flannel: do the command line upgrade? but it says that's less reliable
[04:03] <opera> !Live CD
[04:03] <Vantrax> runner23, try to do a locate on the logs to find the path, i thought /var/logs was right
[04:03] <MK13> herme: i dont have that problem with Intrepic
[04:03] <klotho> Flannel: there must be a way to get upgrade tool to realize what mirror to use, no?
[04:03] <portz> Flan: Gimme a sec
[04:03] <ltgg> problem is I NEVER get an answer here ... don't know why I bother!
[04:03] <Flannel> klotho: I'll walk you through it.  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-desktop linux-generic && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:04] <runner23> @Vantrax it is but in recovery mode I couldn't get to them, I had to boot off the live cd, trying to figure out which log file it is
[04:04] <sektor1952> has anyone seen this issue when running make menuconfig or even make oldconfig file drivers/net/arcnet/Kconfig already scanned?
[04:04] <Vantrax> ltgg, try getting your question on one line and having everything needed in the one request
[04:04] <portz> Flannel: Both options (Create folder, document) are grayed out
[04:04] <Flannel> klotho: once you've done that (and restarted to make sure you're on the most recent kernel), go back to your sources.list, change the edgy to feisty (all three) then do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.  Then you'll be upgrading to Feisty.
[04:04] <Vantrax> ltgg, the forums are also very effective for getting help
[04:04] <klotho> Flannel: this has me worried: Please note - this method is less reliable. If you use this method, you MUST be prepared to fix problems manually, such as packages being unexpectedly removed, apt crashing unexpectedly, etc. Using Update Manager (see above) is likely to be much less problematic.
[04:04] <Flannel> portz: then you can use this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
[04:05] <Adrian2MiL8> ...anyone known how to change the envyng from 173 to 181 nvidia driver ???
[04:05] <Flannel> klotho: Don't worry about it.
[04:05] <Flannel> klotho: Those "worries" we've taken care of with the previous few commands
[04:05] <portz> Flannel: Gutsy Gibbon? For -what-, exactly?
[04:05] <Flannel> portz: What?
[04:05] <Flannel> Oh, sorry.
[04:06] <klotho> Flannel: what's &&?
[04:06] <sektor1952> hello?
[04:06] <portz> No worries, Flan. I know you're busy.
[04:06] <Flannel> klotho: once you've upgraded to Feisty, you can use this guide to get to Gutsy (this one should go smooother): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
 hello
[04:06] <Flannel> klotho: command1 && command2 will do command2 if command1 exits successfully
[04:06] <runner23> whats the paste link again? Have a few log lines need to paste
[04:07] <Flannel> runner23: paste.ubuntu.com
[04:07] <Bllasae> how can i force quit a program
[04:07] <sektor1952> adrian2Mil8: have you seen the issue I mentioned when try to config a kernel before compiling?
[04:07] <Bllasae> like ctrl+Alt+delete?
[04:07] <sektor1952> kill
[04:07] <portz> Bll > System > Admin > System Monitor
[04:07] <portz> Just like Task Manager
[04:07] <Cpudan80> Bllasae: it is easiest to add the kill program to the panel
 no , i don't see anything
[04:08] <Cpudan80> err ehh force quit
[04:08] <dal_work> hi all, a friend of mine recently installed ubuntu 8.10 via the wubi installer, and has since ran out of disk space on the root partition leading to all kinds of nastiness. He wants to shift some free space from other partitions on that drive to the ubuntu root partition and my first thought was to fire up a live cd and use gparted to resize his partitions but wubi appears to have done something strange and I can't see the ubuntu partition
[04:08] <dal_work> to resize, I can only see his two ntfs partitions and what appears to be a vender recovery partition (it's a laptop)...anyone have any ideas on how to transfer some free space from his windows partition to the ubuntu space (whether it is a partition or not I dont' really know at this stage)?
[04:08] <Ayande^> !root
[04:08] <klotho> Flannel: ok, thanks. I'm trying it. but why do you think upgrade tool is broken?
[04:08] <Cpudan80> then you click the little force quit button and click the window to kill
[04:08] <Flannel> klotho: Because it wasn't updates to handle the old-releases stuff
[04:08] <Vantrax> dal_work, wubi doesnt have a partition
[04:08] <sektor1952> Adrian2Mil8: this issue when running make menuconfig or even make oldconfig file drivers/net/arcnet/Kconfig already scanned?
 i think what this is not the right place for get help
[04:08] <Ayande^> how do i open filebroweser from command?
[04:09] <Adrian2MiL8> all ignore you
[04:09] <Vantrax> dal_work, its a 'virtual' partition inside windoew

[04:12] <Bllasae> Miranda_psi: those don't even exist
[04:12] <Cpudan80> Is there a way to tell network manager to use a particular wifi driver?
[04:12] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: what doesn't exist?
[04:12] <Bllasae> the files
[04:12] <Bllasae> I can't find them in that folder

[04:12] <uzair> hi all, can someone help on using linux as a server
[04:13] <ryanCH> how do install more, Window Themes .. there is no import button in the Windows style area???
[04:13] <Bllasae> I'm restarting the computer anyways I'll tell if it works
[04:13] <klotho> uzair: what do you want to do?
[04:13] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: are you looking for the hidden files as well?
[04:13] <Bllasae> i don't know anymore
[04:13] <Bllasae> I'm restarting the computer now
[04:13] <eseven73> uzair: #ubuntu-server might be of more help
[04:13] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: they are hidden files and if they are there restarting won't help
[04:13] <uzair> klotho, basically i wanted to setup a relatively basic file/mail/authentication server on ubuntu hardy
[04:13] <Adrian2MiL8> anyone known how to change the envyng config from 173 to 181 nvidia driver ???
[04:14] <runner23> @Vantrax http://paste.ubuntu.com/104681/ <== thats last session from messagees log file... I have a feeling its because I left my COD:WAW disk in the drive after switching from Windows Install
[04:14] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: go to the folder in the shell and run: ls -al
[04:14] <uzair> oh, i'll keep that in mind, but since klotho asked, i'll see if he can help
[04:14] <pronto> Adrian2MiL8: yes, download the .bin from nvidias site and stop gdm and then run the file
[04:14] <klotho> uzair: I was just curious...
[04:14] <uzair> klotho, ahh, if you can help that'd be great, if not, np i'll head on over to ubuntu-server
[04:14] <naknomik> I want to find out which particular package will provide a specific file, the package is not installed yet, is it possible through apt-cache search? This is sort of like rpm -q --what-provides query
[04:15] <Adrian2MiL8> pronto > i ask  for change the envyng configuration and what envy make the update not i by hand
[04:15] <Bllasae> miranda_psi:What?!
[04:15] <pronto> Adrian2MiL8: oh sorry didnt see you were using envyng . don't know about that
[04:16] <pronto> i just install the drivers from the .bin you get at nvidia site
[04:16] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: can you make your question more specific please - what are you saying what to?
[04:16] <Flannel> naknomik: you use apt-file for that
[04:16] <Adrian2MiL8> pronto > ok don't worry but thanks for answer
[04:16] <sektor1952> pronto can you assist me with my issue?
[04:16] <pyro2927> jrib: it seems officially fucked up
[04:16] <Bllasae> shell? ls -al?
[04:16] <Flannel> pyro2927: Please watch your language
[04:17] <mDemocritus> k9copy hangs at 32 percent of ripping a dvd. any idea where i should start?
[04:17] <pronto> sektor1952: i do no know what your issue is
[04:17] <Bllasae> is there a system restore thing?
[04:17] <pyro2927> Flannel: sorry. wont happen again. didn't know it wasnt allowed here
[04:17] <portz> Force deleting a locked file that I can't change permissions to, anyone?
[04:18] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: shell - terminal command line (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal), ls -al is a command saying to show all files in the detailed format
[04:18] <eseven73> pyro2927: it shoudlnt be allowed anywhere if you ask me.
[04:18] <MK13> is there a way to make a live cd of the Ubuntu on the hard drive?
[04:18] <Adrian2MiL8> pronto , i have the new 181 .bin but i installed the 173 version with envyng and i believe what there is a posibility from a problem if i upgrade now by hand
[04:18] <DiiPhantom> anyone knows the ndiswrapper driver list website?
[04:18] <pronto> Adrian2MiL8: i have no idea, i've always installed the drivers by hand, and i'm running 180.22
[04:18] <Bllasae> command not found
[04:19] <Adrian2MiL8> pronto > yes , sorry 180.22 i was say not 181 , 181 is on windows
[04:19] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: did you put a space between the 'ls' and the '-al'?
[04:20] <dal_> Vantrax, sorry, link died for a second there. Did you know of a way of transferring free space into that virtual partition from its host real ntfs partition or would it just be easier to try something like lvpm to give the ubuntu install a real partition of its own (assuming lvpm works with 8.10, all references to it that I can find only mention 8.04 as the latest tested version)
[04:20] <Bllasae> miranda_psi: Alright, got it
[04:20] <Bllasae> What do I do now?
[04:20] <leohartx> anyone here play battleforwesnoth ?
[04:20] <modjor> hi
[04:21] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: did you run it in you firefox profile directory?
[04:21] <Overand> Is there amore efficient way to use an X app remotely, across a lan, than SSH forwarding?
[04:21] <pronto> Adrian2MiL8: my guess would be to uninstall envyng, that should work, though i'm not 100% sure what envyng does, since i have never used it
[04:21] <Bllasae> miranda-psi
[04:21] <Bllasae> No clue
[04:21] <Overand> My workstation - the "X server" - is a very, very thin machine, and the server with the apps I want is much more robust
[04:21] <Bllasae> I'm uninstalling FF and then reinstalling it
[04:22] <portz> Well, guess I should have read the help file first. I'm off.
[04:22] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: did you just put that command in straight after opening the terminal?
[04:22] <neil_d> hi I have a chroot directory setup (with rsync in it)...  if I "chroot <dir>" then execute "/usr/bin/rsync --daemon" everything goes as planed :)    but if I execute the command....   chroot <dir> "/usr/bin/rsync --daemon"   I get the error chroot: cannot run command ... no such file or directory :(  what am I doing wrong here ?
[04:22] <Bllasae> miranda_psi: from the desktop, yes
[04:22] <rdw200169> neil_d: well, is rsync in the chroot?
[04:23] <runner23> ping Vantrax you fall asleep 8-)
[04:23] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: to get to the directory use the 'cd' command (e.g. cd .mozzila/firefox/) you can use tab to auto-complete
[04:23] <neil_d> rdw200169: yes, and tested.
[04:24] <bullgard4> On my Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer System > Administration > Software Sources > Ubuntu Software > Downloadable from the Internet > Source code is not checked. What would I gain if I checked this button?
[04:24] <rdw200169> bullgard4: the ability to download the source code
[04:24] <dal_> the ability to download the source version of software packages already available in synaptic
[04:24] <rdw200169> bullgard4: 99% of ubuntu users don't need that
[04:24] <runner23> @bullgard4 nothing unless you want to complie apps on your own
[04:24] <Barridus> hi all, can i modify the pc speaker system beep to play an actual sound file?  i don't want to disable it but it's driving me nuts.
[04:24] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: when you are in the firefox directory run 'ls -al lock .parentlock'
[04:25] <rdw200169> Barridus: I believe ALSA can redirect the beep
[04:25] <Bllasae> Why can't this be like windows
[04:25] <Bllasae> Without the commands and crap
[04:26] <rdw200169> Bllasae: go use Mac OS then, it's mostly open source, and doesn't require a terminal
[04:26] <klotho> or like mac with everything hidden?
[04:26] <Bllasae> I hate Macs
[04:26] <Flannel> Bllasae: Because Linux isn't Windows.  You can navigate directories and modify files graphically though.
[04:26] <tritium> Bllasae: I'd hate to lose all that flexibility and power
[04:26] <Bllasae> If anything, I'd stick with Windows
[04:26] <rdw200169> Bllasae: then go do that!
[04:26] <Barridus> rdw200169, how is that accomplished?  i don't see anything obvious in the sounds control panel, and google searches have been lacking
[04:26] <Bllasae> tritium: So far, I haven't experienced anything good, really, with Ubuntu
[04:27] <bullgard4> rdw200169: I do not believe you. I can download now source code using the 'sudo apt-get source <name_of_DEB_package>' command.
[04:27] <klotho> I thought ubuntu was supposed to be getting more maclike in terms of not requiring command line or config file editing
[04:27] <fdsfs> other way around
[04:27] <rdw200169> bullgard4: then the source lines are in your sources.list file
[04:27] <tritium> Bllasae: I have.  Far more, in fact, than I ever could on Windows.
[04:27] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: you could also go through nautilus as well - just make it harder for you to find the files im looking for
[04:27] <rdw200169> bullgard4: why are you so worried about it anyway?
[04:27]  * runner23 slaps Bllasae around a bit with a large trout
[04:28] <neil_d> rdw200169: found the problem...   not meant to use the quotes
[04:28] <rdw200169> Barridus: it's a rather obscure feature, if i'm not mistaken, that or it's in pulseaudio, i can't remember
[04:28] <Barridus> OS arguments make children sad to be alive
[04:28] <Bllasae> lol
[04:28] <klotho> fdsfs: mac is getting more linux-like and will require command line and config file editing?
[04:28] <bullgard4> rdw200169: I like to understand better the programs which I am using.
[04:28] <Bllasae> I just caused a temporal rift in my toolbar when I completely removed Firefox
[04:29] <rdw200169> bullgard4: well, the source code system is rather simple, in terms of how you get it, in your sources.list file (/etc/apt) there are both deb lines and deb-src lines
[04:29] <rdw200169> bullgard4: if there are uncommented lines for deb-src, then you can download the source code from the applicably uncommented repositories
[04:30] <rdw200169> bullgard4: apt update downloades the packages.gz files for ea. repo, and thus it knows where to download stuff from, which is directly related to sources.list
[04:30] <Bllasae> miranda_psi: Parentlock doesn't exist
[04:31] <rdw200169> bullgard4: if you comment the lines for deb-src and perform a apt-get update, you won't be able to download source code anymore
[04:31] <tritium> Bllasae: use Dan's Guardian
[04:31] <nazdreg> I'm a first time user, and have a problem with installing Ubuntu Server 8.10 - is this the right forum ?
[04:31] <klotho> what's an evolution data server, and do I need it?
[04:31] <Bllasae> ?
[04:31] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: is this from looking in nautilus? if so make sure you have show hidden files selected
[04:32] <bullgard4> rdw200169: I think that not only the file /etc/apt/sources.list is relevant but files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory reflect in the System > Administration > Software Sources > Ubuntu Software also.
[04:32] <Bllasae> wtf is nautilus
[04:32] <rdw200169> bullgard4: of course, i was describing the simplest way possible
[04:32] <Omoikane_> I have two beefs with Ubuntu! My mute button stopped working and no one seems to know why and for some reason my firefox bookmarks keeps messing up how firefox is displayed. I have to go through and remove each bookmark until it works again.
[04:32] <rdw200169> bullgard4: of course sources.list.d is included
[04:32] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: the file system browser (similar to windows explorer)
[04:32] <tritium> Bllasae: it's like the windows file manager
[04:32] <klotho> also, I see that I have HP printing services running, which I don't need. how do I turn that off?
[04:32] <Barridus> rdw200169, so if i switch from alsa to pulse audio, will it add an option box to the sound panel for the system beep?
[04:32] <Bllasae> alright
[04:33] <rdw200169> Barridus: not likely, pulse audio runs on top of alsa
[04:33] <Bllasae> Maybe this would be easier if you compared things to windows equivalents
[04:33] <Flannel> Bllasae: Nautilus [04:33] <rdw200169> Barridus: alsa is still in charge, pulse audio just provides mixing so 2 applications can output sound at the same time, among other things
[04:33] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: i'll keep that in mind....
[04:33] <wolter> i have a bluetooth dongle conected to my computer, but i the bluetooth device setup doesn't detect it, what can i do?
[04:33] <tritium> Bllasae: not all of us use Windows, so wouldn't know what to compare things to.
[04:33] <nathan42100> hey all. Can anyone tell me how to install the windows 7 Beta without disturbing Grub (and having it show up) or how to easily restore grub after the install?
[04:33] <Flannel> !grub | nathan42100, first link
[04:33] <Barridus> rdw200169, ok i'm with you so far
[04:34] <Bllasae> tritium: What did you use before Ubuntu?
[04:34] <tritium> Bllasae: further, linux has many things for which there is no Windows equivalent
[04:34] <wolter> nathan42100, i'm afraid that is impossible. there is though, a grub installer for windows, called wingrub
[04:34] <tritium> Bllasae: Debian
[04:34] <Flannel> nathan42100: It's entirely likely that you can't do the former.  Windows tends to assume its the only OS in the world
[04:34] <Bllasae> So this is easy for you
[04:34] <Bllasae> And Windows is easy for me
[04:34] <rdw200169> Barridus: this is about as far as I can go with you, before it gets *really* complicated, i would recommend reading up on ALSA and pulseaudio
[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> wolter: thats pretty unecessary, reinstalling grub is about a 4-6sec job.
[04:34] <bullgard4> rdw200169: What do you mean by 'repo'? reproduction, repository, or what?
[04:34] <wolter> IndyGunFreak, ah.
[04:34] <Bllasae> YES!
[04:34] <Bllasae> I FIXED IT
[04:35] <Bllasae> w00t
[04:35] <rdw200169> bullgard4: repository
[04:35] <FloodBot2> Bllasae: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:35] <darkdelusions> Bllasae:  with time linux will be easy for you to
[04:35] <miranda_psi> Bllasae: good job :)
[04:35] <nathan42100> anyone had luck with the supergrub restore?
[04:35] <rdw200169> bullgard4: if you want to learn more, do some research about debian package management
[04:35] <Bllasae> miranda_Psi:thanks. darkdelusions:maybe
[04:35] <nathan42100> I don't really want to wait for 8.10 to download
[04:35] <PMT_moo> I have a 64b Intrepid up-to-date laptop with a Radeon Xpress 200M - if the radeon drive ris used, the laptop fails to shut down with a BUG ON in mm/pat.c, but this is not the case if the fglrx driver is used.
[04:35] <Bllasae> Okay, so before I screw something up again, where do I put my bookmarks.html file?
[04:36] <runner23> @ Bllasae anywhere
[04:36] <runner23> your going to import it from the Bookmarks menu
[04:36] <PMT_moo> I'm filing a bug about it - is there anthing special I should report beyond the lspci output?
[04:36] <tritium> When I have to use Windows at work, I feel totally handicapped.
[04:36] <bullgard4> rdw200169: I did, and I did it several times. One problem is that the documentation is not consistent and not free of errors and not written didactically.
[04:36] <nathan42100> Flannel: have you tried the supergrub restore?
[04:37] <runner23> @ Bllasae just remember where you put it
[04:37] <nathan42100> does it work well?
[04:37] <rdw200169> bullgard4: what are you finding so complicated? it's a rather simple system
[04:37] <Flannel> nathan42100: I haven't; but it should work more or less the same.
[04:37] <lanoxx> how to pronounce this: I18N?
[04:37] <MethodOne> internationalization
[04:37] <Barridus> rdw200169, ok fair enough.  i was hoping it'd be a simple conf file edit.  you definitely set me off in the right direction with the pulseaudio tip.  thanks
[04:38] <lanoxx> haha, all right
[04:38] <lanoxx> funny abbreviation
[04:38] <miranda_psi> MethodOne: the correct spelling is: internationalisation :P
[04:38] <Kyoaku_Tatsu1> ok hi im having a few problems with ubuntu.. i cant open any stuff i downlosed
[04:39] <tboydston> Kyoaku: What are you downloading?
[04:39] <miranda_psi> Kyoaku_Tatsu1: can you be more specific please?
[04:39] <tritium> miranda_psi: he's not incorrect
[04:39] <miranda_psi> tritium: he is to anyone who isn't american
[04:40] <tritium> miranda_psi: no need to correct him to suit your preferences when he uses valid spelling
[04:40] <Flannel> miranda_psi: Especially not here.
[04:40] <bullgard4> rdw200169: Let me proceed step by step. I would like now to know what would change if I asserted the  System > Administration > Software Sources > Ubuntu Software > Downloadable from the Internet > Source code button. Your answer " the ability to download the source code" above certainly is not correct. I told you that I am able to download source code even now when this button is unchecked.
[04:40] <tritium> English is an evolved language, containing aspects of ancient Greek, Latin, German, colonial English.  So what if he's using a newer version than you?
[04:41] <NetLarIrvine> Is it alright to place the $PATH system wide, instead of locallly?
[04:41] <rdw200169> bullgard4: disregard synaptic for a second, and check all the sources.list files
[04:41] <rdw200169> bullgard4: comment all the deb-src lines, and no more source code. period.
[04:41] <zenwryly> when running aptitude and it says it's removing packages, they often have a "{a}" or a "{u}" after it.  The docs are horrible.  Can anyone tell me what those mean or where in the docs I can make sense of this?
[04:42] <tboydston> I'm using Irssi and I'm having issues with it not keeping much on the screen. The scrollbar is static so I lose a line of text after 30 or so more follow it. Is this terminal or the client?
[04:42] <Flannel> tboydston: irssi has its own "window" that keeps track of the buffer.  The scrollbar in the terminal itself won
[04:43] <opera> !Post-Installation
[04:43] <Flannel> tboydston: won't do anything.  You may be able to scroll up and down with page-up/down, if not, you can use alt-p and alt-n for previous/next pages for scrolling
[04:43] <quinn> tboydston: Page up
[04:43] <tboydston> flannel/quinn: Thanks guys, page up works fine!
[04:44] <pyro2927> eseven73: no foul language anywhere?
[04:44] <RegressLess> I am locked out of Synaptic in Ubuntu 8.10 because I set a password for it and don't know what it is now. Please help!
[04:44] <jessid> how can I scroll through a terminal???????????????
[04:44] <Kyoaku_Tatsu1> well when i am downloading something like zune or something and then it finishes i click on it and it says it is unable to open it
[04:45] <tboydston> jessid: I was just told to use page up and page down and that works fine for me
[04:45] <bullgard4> rdw200169: What do you mean by "and no more source code"? This is an ambiguous statement. What do you mean precisely with it? That I will no longer be able to download source code packages through the apt-get source mechanism? Or that there will exist no longer any source code in the world? Or what?
[04:45] <RegressLess> I am locked out of Synaptic in Ubuntu 8.10 because I set a password for it and don't know what it is now. Please help!
[04:45] <ziroday> jessid: you can try shift+pgup
[04:45] <tritium> bullgard4: don't provoke, please
[04:45] <Flannel> RegressLess: Its your user password.
[04:46] <ziroday> RegressLess: its the same as your login password
[04:46] <RegressLess> don't work
[04:46] <RegressLess> Flannel: don't work
[04:46] <jessid> ziroday you are the best, man. Thanks a lot!!!
[04:46] <tritium> Flannel: don't listen to him.  Keep your job!
[04:46] <computer13137> Hello.
[04:46] <Flannel> RegressLess: Did you just change it this session?
[04:46] <rdw200169> bullgard4: ok, let's play 'english major':  If you delete the deb-src options from the sources.list files, you will no longer be able to download source code.  This is after you perform and update, via apt-get update
[04:46] <Baz_> I am installing ubuntu with RAID - I have the choice of raid0, raid1 and raid5 - is it possible to make raid0+1?
[04:46] <rdw200169> bullgard4: perform *an* update
[04:46] <bullgard4> tritium: I do not provoke. A factual question is no provocation.
[04:46] <RegressLess> Flannel: no, a few sessions ago, :( I goofed it up when I set it I guess
[04:47] <WetWired_ALUG> Can someone who is really good with nautilus MSG me please?
[04:47] <computer13137> I have Ubuntu installed on my new server.  When I boot the system it says there's no operating system.  It has 2 SATA drives, and had Windows XP on it first, however that has since been deleted.  I can't boot to the new live CD because the graphics driver is incompatible and it doesn't want to load up.  I can't boot to the older live CDs or the kernel panics for some reason.  How can I fix GRUB?
[04:47] <tritium> bullgard4: questions are not factual by their very nature.
[04:47] <Flannel> rdw200169: The attitude isn't really necessary.
[04:47] <pallu> hello all of you
[04:47] <ziroday> WetWired_ALUG: ask here and we can all help out :)
[04:47] <Flannel> RegressLess: If you set it a few sessions ago but don't know it, how did you log in to this session?
[04:47] <uber_noober> howdy folks. how do I install m$ office under qemu?..have win xp already installed
[04:47] <RegressLess> all 1300 of us
[04:47] <tboydston> regressless: If you go into the GRUB and do recovery-mode you can change the password with 'passwd master' says a post on the forums
[04:48] <WetWired_ALUG> Ok, nautilus recognises .jpg but not .JPG, how can I change it so it'll do both?
[04:48] <ziroday> WetWired_ALUG: nautilus doesn't find the program type from the filename, it works it out by actually looking at the file
[04:48] <roger_> uber_noober, openoffice is the equivalent of ms office
[04:48] <Flannel> tboydston, RegressLess: he mentions the method outlined here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword  but I'm still not sure how you managed to log in.
[04:48] <bullgard4> rdw200169: Ah, ok, understood. Thank you for explaining.
[04:48] <miranda_psi> WetWired_ALUG: try checking the program the extensions are registered with and make them the same (only guessing)
[04:49] <djambsd> hi, where is rc.conf in ubuntu to change startup
[04:49] <mankash> anybody knows about hostap and hostapd modules
[04:49] <RegressLess> Flannel: because it's not the same as my user password. In 8.10, it shows Synaptic User as a separate user which you can set a separate password.
[04:49] <uber_noober> roger I know, but I'm trying to install it on someone else's system who insists on having it
[04:49] <Kyoaku_Tatsu1> i really just need to know why my computer is saying there is an error when i try to open something i downloaded like Zune
[04:50] <uber_noober> so far managed to get xp running in virtual mode, but no idea how to get ms office installed
[04:50] <WetWired_ALUG> It usually only happens when I'm uploading files to something like myspace. It won't display any of the files with the uppercase JPG, but once I rename them to lowercase it will. Then I can upload them. Problem is, my camera takes the picutres in uppercase, and it's a real pain always having to rename all of the files.
[04:50] <miranda_psi> Kyoaku: is Zune a windows program?
[04:50] <tritium> djambsd: ubuntu/debian use update-rc.d. instead.  If you want, sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf, and use the tool you asked about.
[04:50] <nazdreg> Has anyone encountered an error when installing the base-system in 8.10 server ?
[04:50] <nazdreg> I'm also setting up a SW raid1
[04:51] <Kyoaku_Tatsu1> Miranda: yes it is
[04:51] <djambsd> to remove gnome default from system i use apt-get remove gnome?
[04:51] <RegressLess> tritium and Flannel, thanks
[04:51] <miranda_psi> Kyoaku: then that is why - Linux doesn't know how to run such programs.  You can try installing wine and see if that gets you going
[04:51] <marabout_> can I run "fsck" at anytime to check on a possible problem or will this cause issues in Ubuntu?
[04:51] <Drace> hello. Might anyone redirect me to a channel for help on Windows?
[04:52] <Kyoaku_Tatsu1> Miranada: what is wine?
[04:52] <MethodOne> Drace:  #window
[04:52] <MethodOne> Drace #windows
[04:52] <miranda_psi> !wine | Kyoaku_Tatsu1
[04:53] <WetWired_ALUG> So is there a file somewhere that lists all of the file extentions nautilus recognises? I could just add the uppercase JPG and it should work
[04:53] <Drace> ehh window is empty...
[04:53] <Kyoaku_Tatsu1> Miranda: thanks ill try it out and see if it works!
[04:53] <Gnea> marabout_: only when the partition is not mounted
[04:53] <Decepticon> how can i get a window in screen that is split halfway horizontally INSTEAD of a screen session split horizontally in which i must load individual windows and the split permeates through the whole session? from what i can tell, it only does splits a whole session horizontally in which you must load windows to each splitted area... not the other way around, where i want to load a session, have only 1 window split halfway
[04:53] <miranda_psi> Kyoaku: good luck
[04:53] <Drace> #window is empty. Is it on the same server...?
[04:53] <djambsd> #
[04:54] <ryan8403> quick question, some themes allow the windows to be double stacked, how can i make this happen on all my themes?
[04:54] <tritium> WetWired_ALUG: file extensions are irrelevant.  Who's to say you can't rename a .doc as a .jpg?  That doesn't make it a JPEG image.
[04:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Drace, /join #Windows
[04:54] <uber_noober> Qemu help anyone?
[04:54] <tritium> !windows | Drace
[04:54] <WetWired_ALUG> I know that. That's not what I'm asking. Here, I'll take a screeshot
[04:55] <leohartx> is tcp/ip protocol available in ubuntu 8.10
[04:55] <miranda_psi> WetWired_ALUG: right click on a file with the JPG extension and go to the 'open with' tab and set it to be the same as the the normal jpg extension one
[04:55] <marabout_> Gnea:  it will cause issues when the partition is not mounted or I can/should only run "fsck" when the partition is not mounted...
[04:55] <leohartx> is tcp/ip protocol available in ubuntu 8.10 ?
[04:55] <tritium> leohartx: of course

[04:56] <miranda_psi> WetWired_ALUG: what option don't yo see? the open with tab?
[04:56] <WetWired_ALUG> miranda_psi: I see that, I don't see where to set it as the same
[04:57] <miranda_psi> WetWired_ALUG: you will have to look up the jpg one and then use that same option in the JPG one

[05:05] <detox420> ok guys i want to be able to create a network between a windows xp and ubuntu interpid systems, i also want to share the internet with this computer using a cat 5 crossover cable because im using my samsung blackjack as a modem
[05:05] <sleepy_cat> How to get .rar files to work in Ubuntu
[05:05] <Barridus> i'm no expert here but i also experienced the capslock blinking freeze on my laptop (an old dell) was fixed by what jtaji said
[05:05] <sleepy_cat> I have Wine but how to unrar in ubuntu
[05:05] <WetWired_ALUG> miranda_psi so is there a way to add the uppercase jpg to that list?
[05:05] <detox420> i belive there a program called rar
[05:06] <detox420> for ubuntu in the add remove app
[05:06] <miranda_psi> WetWired: is there an option where you can select show all files? you could get around it that way
[05:06] <WetWired_ALUG> no, it doesn't show it.
[05:06] <WetWired_ALUG> tried that lol
[05:06] <Baz_> Flannel: you around?
[05:06] <ronhalfdanr> anybody know about samba and drive sharing with VMware?
[05:07] <detox420> why just put the the files u want in the vmware into iso files
[05:07] <detox420> and load them into the cd drive in the vm
[05:07] <balrog__> does anybody know how to change the default keyring password and the user password at the same time?  can i do it via a script with zenity or something?
[05:07] <miranda_psi> WetWired: you cant add JPG to the list as it is provided my myspace - you can try and ask them to add it or you could delve into the nautilus source code and make its filtering case insensitive :)
[05:07] <sleepy_cat> hi does rar file work in Ubuntu
[05:08] <eseven73> !rar
[05:08] <detox420> there a program called rar
[05:08] <sleepy_cat> I got a rar file i want to unrar it.. how can i do it
[05:08] <WetWired_ALUG> miranda_psi, Or I could just keep renaming the files :\ lol
[05:08] <Drace> if you get winzip..
[05:08] <Drace> But first, wine.
[05:08] <ambafatima> hi guys, i got this problem, i have an old dell inspiron laptop, after i increase and decrease display brightnes with Fn key the keyboard stops responding, ie i cant type or do anything at all, what can i do to prevent this?
[05:08] <tritium> !unrar
[05:08] <sleepy_cat> ??
[05:08] <sleepy_cat> ! unrar ????
[05:08] <miranda_psi> sleepy_cat: it will, but you will have to install the program to do it - search for rar in synaptic
[05:08] <detox420> ok guys i want to be able to create a network between a windows xp and ubuntu interpid systems, i also want to share the internet with this computer using a cat 5 crossover cable because im using my samsung blackjack as a modem
[05:08] <sleepy_cat> ohh ok

[05:08] <Logiko1> i switched over to ubuntu from windows a few months ago, does anyone know why my avi files are playing in slow motion and with no sound? ... is it a codec issue? and if so is there a linux alternative to avicodec?
[05:08] <roger_> !unrar-free
[05:08] <detox420> yea
[05:08] <tritium> !rar
[05:09] <ronhalfdanr> not exactly a workable solution for a dynamic dataset that's almosta  terabyte detox420
[05:09] <roger_> !archiver
[05:09] <detox420> ohh sorry bro
[05:09] <miranda_psi> WetWired: just write a script or see if the program you use to import the photos from the camera will allow renaming of the files as you copy them to the disk
[05:09] <sleepy_cat> ok i installed the rar 1 in Synaptic
[05:09] <marabout_> !fsck
[05:09] <detox420> ok guys i want to be able to create a network between a windows xp and ubuntu interpid systems, i also want to share the internet with this computer using a cat 5 crossover cable because im using my samsung blackjack as a modem
[05:10] <roger_> !samba
[05:10] <detox420> so i can use samba
[05:11] <detox420> to exactly both those things i said?
[05:11] <tritium> detox420: no, samba is not used for internet connection sharing
[05:11] <ronhalfdanr> roger, do you know samba?
[05:11] <detox420> but i can use samba to creat a network?
[05:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !ics
[05:11] <roger_> oh he's wanting connection sharing
[05:12] <tritium> detox420: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[05:12] <detox420> ok
[05:12] <ronhalfdanr> I want to change the shared folder to a shared drive in samba
[05:12] <detox420> how do i create a network with a windows computer also
[05:12] <detox420> and is all this compatible with my cat5 crossover
[05:13] <sleepy_cat> I unrared the contents now there is .DAT .BAT and .REG file which i want to run for my game to run
[05:13] <cinco29> is there a google earth for ubuntu???
[05:13] <sleepy_cat> how should i proceed
[05:13] <tritium> cinco29: yes
[05:13] <cinco29> cool
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> detox420, the crossover isnt the issue it is the bridge on the host
[05:13] <sleepy_cat> miranda_psi: I unrared the contents now there is .DAT .BAT and .REG file which i want to run for my game to run
[05:13] <roger_> cinco29, yes and it works great
[05:13] <tritium> !googleearth | cinco29
[05:13] <AnnonyMouse> hi guys.
[05:13] <detox420> how can i sharefiles on a network between a windows pc and a ubuntu pc with a crossover
[05:13] <AnnonyMouse> happy new year & all that
[05:13] <cinco29> whats the name...
[05:14] <cinco29> i wanna look at some places..:)
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> sleepy_cat, *.bat is not a  linux based game
[05:14] <tritium> detox420: please stop repeating.  We've told you:  Samba
[05:14] <Barridus> !medibuntu
[05:14] <AnnonyMouse> nayone have experience installing onto a SATA RAID system?
[05:14] <sleepy_cat> hwo can i get it to work in Linux
[05:14] <AnnonyMouse> installing from mini ISO w network cahe/repository
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> sleepy_cat, What exact game?
[05:15] <balrog__> does anybody know how to change the default keyring password and the user password at the same time?  can i do it via a script with zenity or something?
[05:15] <Jack_Sparrow> sleepy_cat, If it is a windows game you will need wine or one of the vnm options
[05:15] <sleepy_cat> i have Wine
[05:15] <sleepy_cat> Its a crack game
[05:16] <sleepy_cat> it does not run from setup
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> sleepy_cat, /join #winehq on how to setup wine and install your game
[05:16] <sleepy_cat> u have to add to reg a file and then it will work
[05:16] <sleepy_cat> thanks Jack_Sparrow
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[05:16] <ronhalfdanr> anybody know samba config?
[05:16] <cinco29> ... thanks for the link.. for google earth
[05:16] <cinco29> now how do i install it?
[05:17] <roger_> open terminal, chmod +x googleearth.bin      ./googleearth.bin
[05:17] <linux_trojan> how do I download video from my camcorder using Ubuntu?
[05:17] <cinco29> thank u sir rog
[05:17] <greatcaffeine> Does anyone know if it will be possible to upgrade an existing ext3 filesystem to ext4?
[05:18] <koshari> linux_trojan if its a DV camcorder use kino
[05:18] <balrog__> greatcaffeine: it should be
[05:18] <tritium> cinco29: use the ubuntu package, not the .bin
[05:18] <koshari> greatcaffeine i doubt it, i beleive you need the 2.6.28 kernel for ext4
[05:18] <roger_> huh, my ubuntu install was a bin
[05:18] <linux_trojan> in Kino I get an error something about /dev/1396 or something
[05:18] <tritium> roger_: it's in the medibuntu repository
[05:18] <cinco29> thats what i got
[05:18] <roger_> i must have old install
[05:19] <hyde> how can I use command line to verify one dhcp fixed-address configuration entry is really in effect?
[05:19] <cinco29> how do i get  the package?
[05:19] <tritium> cinco29: don't use the .bin.  It's always preferable to have your software under package management.  Get it from the medibuntu repository.
[05:19] <koshari> linux_trojan you may need to change permissions of the 1396 device, theres a lot of how tos around,
[05:19] <balrog__> greatcaffeine: you do need the -28 kernel, but i beleive ext4 is just an extension to ext3...
[05:19] <tritium> !medibuntu | cinco29
[05:19] <cinco29> ohhhhh sorry i missed that part of the msg
[05:19] <greatcaffeine> Alright, thanks. :)
[05:19] <linux_trojan> I didnt have a /dev/raw1936, so I created it and I chmod 777 on it but nothing works
[05:20] <koshari> linux_trojan technically giving your firewire device write access is a security risk
[05:20] <ronhalfdanr> if I change the samba config from path = /home/ron/rondata to path = /dev/sdc1 will it change my samba share to that entire drive?
[05:20] <koshari> linux_trojan if you didnt have a device i wouls suspect the system is not seing your device
[05:20] <roger_> can i add this medibuntu to my repository list
[05:20] <roger_> in synaptic
[05:20] <koshari>  roger_: yes
[05:20] <linux_trojan> sounds like I am screwed
[05:20] <Gnea> ronhalfdanr: bad idea, since /dev/sdc1 is a device, not a mountpoint
[05:21] <koshari> roger_ allthugh its easier and faster in CLI
[05:21] <ronhalfdanr> GneaOK< how do I change the share to that entire drive?
[05:21] <roger_> koshari, what
[05:21] <Gnea> ronhalfdanr: see what it's mounted to:  df -Th
[05:21] <ronhalfdanr> huh?
[05:21] <linux_trojan> maybe I should just switch to Mandriva?
[05:21] <Gnea> it's a command... open a terminal and type it
[05:21] <opera> join
[05:22] <ronhalfdanr> command not found
[05:22] <koshari> roger_ adding the repo in command prompt
[05:22] <Gnea> you didn't type it right
[05:22] <marabout_> Is there a 'crash log' in Ubuntu and if so how can I access it to view info on crashes
[05:22] <Gnea> df -Th
[05:22] <Gnea> ronhalfdanr: it has to be exact
[05:22] <ronhalfdanr> duh
[05:22] <roger_> yeah there's a guide here showing how
[05:22] <linux_trojan> I have searched all the Ubuntu Forums and all of them are just floundering in the dark
[05:23] <ronhalfdanr> /media/DRV7_VOL1
[05:23] <ronhalfdanr> Gnea so in samba config change it to that?
[05:23] <Gnea> ronhalfdanr: right.
[05:23] <ronhalfdanr> ok and the entire drive will be shared?
[05:23] <Gnea> probably
[05:24] <ronhalfdanr> permissions aside I should be able to see the entire drive I hope
[05:24] <Gnea> try it and see what happens
[05:27] <cinco29> hey google earth has an error. something about dependencies...?
[05:27] <eseven73> cinco29: did you install it from medibuntu?
[05:27] <Logiko1> help please, when i play some avi files i dont here any audio, but i can hear audio when playing mp3's or general system sounds...
[05:27] <The-Kernel> Hi, on the gnome panel bar, when I click Applications, nothing appears
[05:28] <cinco29> thats where im at right now
[05:28] <AnaisCareMaiz> what does gksudo rm -rfv /*   do?
[05:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !danger
[05:28] <The-Kernel> is there a way to completely reset the panels or something?
[05:28] <tritium> AnaisCareMaiz: who told you to do that?
[05:28] <nickrud> AnaisCareMaiz, it breaks your system completely
[05:28] <cinco29> i have to save it and open it with  package installer
[05:28] <AnaisCareMaiz> thank you guys, I thought it looked weird
[05:28] <hml> are there any games on ubuntu that have rich, beautiful 3d art work?
[05:28] <EADG> AnaisCareMaiz: dID SOMEBODY TELL YOU TO RUN THAT COMMAND?
[05:28] <AnaisCareMaiz> tritium, some guy on nicotine
[05:29] <EADG> Grrr... sorry for the caps.
[05:29] <eseven73> Wooo caps is cruise control for cool
[05:29] <The-Kernel> anyone?
[05:29] <eseven73> :P
[05:29] <nickrud> EADG, one of the few times it makes sense
[05:29] <AnaisCareMaiz> I was asking how to set configure the "now playing thing there with the amarok2, and he said that... sounded weird to me so I asked here
[05:29] <Baz_> forgive my ignorance but is the /boot only used during boot, or is it also used later on?
[05:30] <Lunr> Uhm, can someone help me? I can't boot ubuntu up, it gets stuck at the loading screen, but the loading bar moves when I press a key but it dosen't load up oddly.
[05:30] <eseven73> "and he" AnaisCareMaiz ? whos 'he'?
[05:30] <Nightvision> do noacpi or select safemode
[05:30] <Jack_Sparrow> cinco29, I thought you were told to enable medibuntu and get it from there
[05:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Lunr, Is this a new install or one that previously worked
[05:31] <AnaisCareMaiz> eseven73, some guy called orethrius on Nicotine-Plus room: nicotine
[05:31] <Lunr> New install
[05:31] <cinco29> how do i enable it?
[05:31] <EADG> AnaisCareMaiz: yer spiddy sense tinkled in to your benifit. Good thing you asked.
[05:31] <Lunr> It was working before, I just kept hitting the space key untill it loaded lol
[05:32] <tritium> cinco29: I had ubottu give you a link for medibuntu.
[05:32] <Adrian2MiL8> HI ALL
[05:32] <cinco29> i am at that link
[05:32] <cinco29> right now
[05:33] <eseven73> cinco29: its a simple matter of editing gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and adding like 2 lines to it then running apt-get update
[05:33] <Adrian2MiL8> anyone known how to modify envyng configuration for update from173 to 180.22 nvidia driver ???
[05:33] <AnaisCareMaiz> and what does dcop do?
[05:33] <eseven73> editing a file*
[05:33] <Delerious> does anyone know how where to find the upgrade path on the 8.04 install cd?
[05:33] <cinco29> i am not at all. familiar of commands with linux
[05:35] <Baz_> anyone use dmraid? if i am mirroring 4 drives should i make any "spare" devices or hould they all be "active"?
[05:35] <eseven73> cinco29: alt+F2 then type in the word terminal then type inside the terminal gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list  and add the lines that wwebsite said to add.
[05:35] <marabout_> Jack_Sparrow, EADG , eseven73 ; Just out of curiosity ( and since I am a newb) can you briefly mention what the command AnaisCareMaiz  wrote would have done. ( i understand -rm to be 'remove' but dont get the other part. You can PM me if it is safer...
[05:35] <EADG> AnaisCareMaiz: Exploring the command line are ya? Start with man "cmd" for a rundown on what it does. Wanna see a list of commands? type a letter then jit 'tab tab' to get a list of all the cmds starting with that letter. Lots 'o fun.
[05:35] <roger_> cinco29, here is a guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[05:36] <reehan> can anyone tell me how do i align sections in gcc?
[05:36] <TheFunkbomb> quick question.  I want to set up my webcam and I want to chat with people who are using windows.  Any programs?
[05:36] <Myrtti> TheFunkbomb: skype, amsn
[05:36] <Adrian2MiL8> ..anyone known how to modify envyng configuration for update from173 to 180.22 nvidia driver ???
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> TheFunkbomb, skype
[05:36] <TheFunkbomb> okay
[05:36] <cinco29> thank u roger.  and i also apologize for my noobness everyone
[05:36] <TheFunkbomb> thanks
[05:36] <TheFunkbomb> .
[05:36] <Jerr> Hello everyone, I am having troubles installing latest Nvidia drivers, I dont know where to begin
[05:36] <eseven73> dont apologize cinco29 :)
[05:36] <eseven73> you did nothing wrong
[05:36] <Adrian2MiL8> jerr > what problem ?
[05:37] <roger_> the google earth you are looking for after you get the repository added will be located in networking in the synaptic package manager
[05:37] <Jerr> Adrian; I downloaded the driver, and I am stuck there. I typed the command in termail "sh ...." yet it did not work
[05:37] <roger_> make sure you add the keyring as well
[05:38] <Adrian2MiL8> jerr > what driver you downloaded ?? from nvidia website ??
[05:38] <Jerr> Nvidia-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run
[05:39] <Adrian2MiL8> what command you type ??
[05:39] <tritium> Jerr: don't use nvidia.com downloads.  Use ubuntu packages.
[05:39] <Jerr> sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run
[05:39] <Delerious> does anyone know how to upgrade from CD while keeping my settings and home folder intact?
[05:39] <Drace> Would I be able to burn something if i took out my Livecd?
[05:39] <Jerr> tritium : the prop drivers are not functioning properly.
[05:39] <Drace> I only have one drive :-$
[05:40] <tritium> Jerr: do as you wish, but we don't support nvidia .bin downloads here
[05:40] <Adrian2MiL8> make a sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run an try again
[05:40] <Drace> Would I be able to burn a cd if i took out my livecd?
[05:40] <cinco29> okay im done adding the repositories
 the nvidia packages are best
[05:40] <Hammerjak> Delerious, if you put the CD in while the old version is booted doesn't it give you the option to upgrade?
[05:40] <roger_> doesn't he have to install them out of X
[05:41] <Delerious> no Hammerjak
[05:41] <tritium> Adrian2MiL8: we don't recommend or support them here, as I've said
[05:41] <Hammerjak> hm, i thought it asked about adding the repositories
[05:41] <Drace> If i take out my livecd, would i be able to burn something?
[05:41] <Delerious> it just automounts and gives me the option of opening in a folder
[05:41] <Hammerjak> once the cd is in, i think synaptic gives you the option to add a repository on a cd
[05:41] <Hammerjak> i haven't tried it though
[05:41] <marabout_> Does anyone know if i can run the ubuntu install CD on a computer with a HD formatted in FAT32 whether Ubuntu will correct the format (i.e. initialize)  and then install itself?
 yeah ..you right ...bet are betters
[05:42] <eseven73> cinco29: in a terminal try 'sudo apt-get update && apt-get install googleearth'
[05:42] <cinco29> ok
[05:42] <cinco29> reading package list ...done
[05:43] <Hammerjak> marabout_, yes the ubuntu install cd will create a partition and format it as it needs
[05:43] <Q_Continuum> Anyone have any idea why I wouldn't be able to connect to a WEP, passphrased WLAN with 8.04?  I know the passphrase, and there isn't MAC filtering.
[05:43] <cinco29> then says error could not open l;ock file
[05:43] <Hammerjak> though you'll have to specify the partition size
[05:43] <cinco29> then unable to lock admin dir
[05:43] <eseven73> cinco29: close package manger
[05:43] <eseven73> manager*
[05:43] <cinco29> i dont have that opened
[05:44] <cinco29> justterminal and firefox
[05:44] <Hammerjak> you need sudo in front of the apt-get install cinco29
[05:44] <eseven73> you did sudo before anything?
[05:44] <Hammerjak> sudo ___ && sudo ___
[05:44] <cinco29> yes it has sudo
[05:45] <cinco29> i did as u wrote.
[05:45] <Adrian2MiL8> anyone know how change the envyng configuration for change driver version ???
[05:45] <marabout_> Hammerjak: Thanks.  Do you know if there is a way to achieve that via a web (command line) install or just with the CD?
[05:45] <eseven73> try sudo apt-get install googleearth
[05:45] <rogermudd> Anybody know what the best supported onboard graphics chip is under Ubuntu? Looking to build an inexpensive MicroATX machine.
[05:45] <Hammerjak> marabout_,  'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' should do it
[05:46] <Hammerjak> oh, no i don't know marabout_
[05:46] <giloth> does anyone here have any experience with framerate issues with fceultra? my laptop is more than capable to run it and other emulators such as zsnes don't have any problems at all
 i think what the onboards ati and nvidia chips work fine
[05:46] <cinco29> that did it seven
[05:46] <eseven73> :)
[05:46] <eseven73> cinco29: type ese and press TAB key
[05:46] <Q_Continuum> rogermudd: Depends on what you want to do.  AMD's 780g chipset's pretty nice on Windows, I haven't tried Linux on it yet - but supports VGA + (DVI,HDMI,DisplayPort) (pick one of the latter set at a time) at once.
[05:47] <eseven73> easier that way cinco29 :)
 there is a cheaps mobos for amd with ati and nvidia chips
[05:47] <BellinXFelon> can someone help me configure my seagate freeagent pro I used gparted and formatted it to ext3 but it wont let me write anything to it, I have checked the permissions and they all allow read/write
[05:47] <jtaji> rogermudd: the intel integrated chipsets work great, X3100, X3500... and have open source 3d drivers
[05:47] <rogermudd> Adrian2Mil8 Thanks. Intel out of the question? They seem to have the lion's share of the market.
[05:47] <cinco29> seven it just finished setting up google earth 4.3
[05:48] <eseven73> type googleearth in a terminal
[05:48] <tritium> rogermudd: don't go with Intel integrated graphics if high-performance 3D gaming is something you want to do
[05:48] <Hammerjak> or go Applications -> Internet
 i'm not  probe with intel onboard vga's  yet
[05:48] <eseven73> Hammerjak: GUI is a last resort :)
[05:48] <Hammerjak> ah :)
[05:48] <cinco29> i got a window with google earth update suggestion
 GUI is the future !!!!
[05:49] <marabout_> Hammerjak: well I have an old machine that has Windows (98?) on it and is a FAT formatted HD so just trying to figure that best course of action. CD drive not reading CD's so i gotta try something different...
[05:49] <eseven73> nice... umm is it 4.2 cinco29 ?
[05:49] <cinco29> yup
[05:49] <eseven73> ok
[05:49] <cinco29> it says current one installed is 4.2 newer version is 4.3
[05:49] <Hammerjak> marabout_, if you can't read cd's i don't know how you can do it then
[05:49] <rogermudd> Not really looking to go heavy in to 3D. Maybe some basic Blender stuff. Perhaps a fanless dedicated card is the answer. I'm hoping for a relatively silent machine.
[05:49] <Hammerjak> the system is too old to have a 'boot from usb' option
[05:50] <Hammerjak> and i doubt win98 supports the wubi windows installer
[05:50] <eseven73> cinco29: I'm not sure if upgrading will mess it up or not...up to you at this point.
[05:50] <cinco29> nah im cool with this
[05:51] <cinco29> i dont liek to upgrade unless there has been at least 2-3 latest version
[05:51] <eseven73> Me personally have a phobia of upgrading anything.
[05:51] <marabout_> Hammerjak:  yeah. I guess I research some zip drive install possibilities. Thanks
[05:51] <eseven73> cinco29: wise choice :)
[05:51] <marabout_> Hammerjak: *I'll
[05:51] <cinco29> u use that word but my word is paranoid lol
[05:51] <eseven73> hehe
[05:51] <Hammerjak> np
[05:51] <cinco29> but hey i thank thee for thy help...:o)
[05:52] <cinco29> and roger as well.

[05:53] <cinco29> im actually planning on ordering an ubuntu cd or dvd would be better
[05:54] <tritium> cinco29: no problem!
[05:55] <cinco29> We apologize for the inconvenience, but Google Earth has crashed.
[05:55] <cinco29>  This is a bug in the program, and should never happen under normal
[05:55] <cinco29>  circumstances. A bug report and debugging data are now being written
[05:55] <cinco29>  to this text file:
[05:55] <FloodBot2> cinco29: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:55] <cinco29> look what i got
[05:55] <eseven73> oh noes
[05:55] <cinco29> sorrry
[05:55] <Baz_> what is the RAID software during ubuntu alternate install?
[05:55] <eseven73> what sort of graphics card do you have cinco29 ?
[05:55] <cinco29> onboard lol
[05:55] <eseven73> ouch
[05:55] <cinco29> intel i think
[05:56] <jtaji> cinco29: you should turn off compiz if it's enabled
[05:56] <cinco29> but ive used google earth on windows
[05:56] <cinco29> ohhh snaps yes it is
[05:56] <eseven73> lol that would do it
[05:57] <cinco29> okay i set my appearance to none
 what vga crad you have ???
[05:57] <cinco29> thnk u taji
[05:57] <eseven73> cinco29: if you have firefox running kill that too, firefox likes to hog about 10-20% cpu (even more sometimes) and a lot of ram
 what vga card you have ???
[05:58] <cinco29> my vga card is onboard
 ok....but ...what ?????
[05:58] <cinco29> intel i think
[05:58] <kinja-sheep> I'm curious about compiz?
[05:58] <Ikan> Can someone tell me if there's a Flash Player x64?
[05:59] <FisherPrice> Hey, I can't get the intrepid livecd to work on my machine it just keeps comming up with initramfs... i think it's something to do with the on-board video and i don't have another video card
 open a console and type  lspci | grep VGA
[05:59] <Myrtti> Ikan: there is an alpha stage player
[05:59] <FisherPrice> either that, can someone help me to re-install my grub.. it keeps coming up with a grub read error
[05:59] <Ikan> Where would I be able to get said alpha stage player?
[05:59] <cinco29> Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)
[05:59] <eseven73> i got that same chip in my lappy
[06:00] <Adrian2MiL8> cinco29 > yes a old intel vga card
[06:00] <cinco29> im trying to upgrade
[06:00] <cinco29> but on this pc i only have pci thats it
[06:00] <FisherPrice> and I've followed this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/
[06:01] <Adrian2MiL8> cinco29 > upsss ...you have a problem !
[06:02] <cinco29> whats my prob
[06:02] <cinco29> the only pci slots prob?
 download supergrub iso and burn a cd with him
[06:03] <sh1> i cannot see my userlist in pidgin
 yes , you don't have agp or pcie for expansion card
[06:03] <KCCarnage> What client would you guys recommend?  I really liked
[06:03] <KCCarnage> MIRC
[06:03] <cinco29> well my brother gave me a nice agp card but my only pc doesnt have that slot
[06:03] <fakhir> hmm not sure why i can find the answer but how to i list all users and groups in terminal?
[06:03] <eseven73> cinco29: my nvidia 5200 pci runs google earth pretty darn slow (unless i have no filters enabled) and even then) so I'm guessing you have to have a AGP at least like Adrian2MiL8 said
[06:03] <binarymutant> I'm having problems starting X, I get an error saying "Error setting MTRR (base = 0xe8000000, size = 0x02000000, type = 1) Invalid argument (22)"
[06:03] <Adrian2MiL8> and the only fix is get a older nvidia gforce pci card
[06:03] <fakhir> "users" only lists logged in users?
[06:04] <jtaji> fakhir: cat /etc/passwd; cat /etc/group
[06:04] <FisherPrice> Adrian2MiL8: what is supergrub
[06:04] <FisherPrice> dw, i'll google it
you right
[06:04] <binarymutant> KCCarnage: mirc is like xchat
[06:04] <cinco29> ima search for one right now
 a cdrom booteable version of grub for make fixes
[06:05] <KCCarnage> thx binary
[06:05] <binarymutant> np
 go google search supergrub
[06:06] <FisherPrice> Adrian2MiL8: yeah, dl'd it already
[06:06] <cinco29> hey adrian im using google earth right now and it looks and runs better than when im in windows
 what run better than windows it's not amazing
[06:07] <Ikan> Whoever just helped me out a second ago with x64 flash, thank you.
[06:08] <linuxuz3r> hey
[06:08] <linuxuz3r> sup everyone
[06:08] <Ikan> I use chatzilla for IRC so the script killed it, but thanks for all your help.
[06:08] <cinco29> lol
[06:08] <cinco29> im amazed but relieved really.
[06:08] <cinco29> now i dont need to use windows for anything except for making dance music mixes...

[06:11] <mtholdenss> cinco29, i dunno thats why im asking
[06:11] <ziroday> mtholdenss: it was removed as its old. You can probably find another version somewhere online
[06:11] <ziroday> binarymutant: errors?
[06:11] <mtholdenss> ok thanks
[06:11] <binarymutant> I'm having problems starting X, I get an error saying "Error setting MTRR (base = 0xe8000000, size = 0x02000000, type = 1) Invalid argument (22)"
[06:11] <cinco29> i was stund by the size of gta4 on pc
[06:11] <sh1> how do i install libssl
[06:12] <binarymutant> sh1: apt-cache search libssl
[06:12] <eseven73> cinco29: i think you need a bit better graphics card than onboard intel for GTA4 no?
[06:12] <ziroday> sh1: the same way you install any other application
[06:12] <ziroday> binarymutant: what graphics card do you have?
[06:13] <cinco29> lol. yes i do
[06:13] <Corpis> .
[06:13] <binarymutant> ati radeon mobile, I was using the ati driver but when I tried vesa I got the same error
[06:13] <sh1> im using pidgin and i cannot see my yahoo contacts in that
[06:13] <lar50n> if i install a x86 version on a x64 machine does the first web update correct things?
[06:13] <ziroday> sh1: okay, and you are sure you set up a yahoo account correctly
hahaha ...you right ...with the older onboard intel of cinco i believe waht the installer refuse to run
[06:13] <miranda_psi> lar50n: no
[06:13] <lar50n> dang
[06:13] <cinco29> i believe that myself too
[06:14] <sh1> yes
[06:14] <ziroday> binarymutant: okay, can you pastebin the complete error please
[06:14] <lar50n> have you used both versions miranda_psi?
[06:14] <cinco29> my system is running good still after 4 years.
[06:14] <ziroday> sh1: okay, does pidgin say it has connected to the account?
[06:14] <binarymutant> ziroday: I can pastebin my Xorg.log but it doesn't contain that error
[06:14] <ziroday> binarymutant: where is that error then?
[06:14] <cinco29> no money in my pocket sop i rest on birthdays and xmas.
[06:14] <miranda_psi> lar50n: i have (not the current release in 32bit though, just previous versions) - what do you want to know?
[06:15] <sh1> yes
[06:15] <cinco29> now i told my wife hey babe wat if this year we give each other gifts...

[06:15] <Adrian2MiL8> cinco29> i have a nv 8800 gt 512mb vram and 2gb main ram and can't get run in high detail
[06:15] <sh1> okay
[06:16] <ziroday> binarymutant: does sudo /etc/init.d/?dm start do the same thing?
[06:16] <cinco29> for me ill run gta 4 on low. everything.
[06:16] <cinco29> its funner that way
[06:16] <miranda_psi> lar50n: if you are doing something like watching HD movies and such the difference is very noticeable
[06:16] <cinco29> unless i get a new xbox

[06:17] <cinco29> nah i rather get a new rig. at least my rig wont rrod on me using ubuntu

[06:17] <ziroday> cinco29: Adrian2MiL8: could you chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please, this is really for support questions :)
[06:17] <cinco29> ps3 in april posible 299 price
[06:17] <ziroday> Corpis: not really. The default is totem but there are many others. Just make sure you have the DVD codecs installed
[06:17] <miranda_psi> Corpis: Just use what you like - for me thats mplayer
[06:17] <cinco29> oh my apologies ziro
[06:18] <zoli2k> JOIN #python
[06:18] <Corpis> k, thx
[06:18] <luig1> Alright, I'm wondering if there are any utilities I should really know how to use (in emergencies) besides ls, cd, rm etc... a text editor (nano) and less.
[06:18] <sh1> how do i do that
[06:19] <Omoikane_> I have two beefs with Ubuntu! My mute button stopped working and no one seems to know why and for some reason my firefox bookmarks keeps messing up how firefox is displayed. I have to go through and remove each bookmark until it works again.
[06:19] <ziroday> luig1: erm emergencies are hard to prepare for :), probably how to install/remove apps with apt-get or aptitude
[06:19] <cinco29> hey adrian u wanna talk some more. bout anything ill be in ubuntu offtopic
[06:19] <luig1> I do that all the time ziroday, I meant like stuck-wothout-X emergencies.
[06:19] <ziroday> sh1: you can print screen with the Print Screen button on your keyboard, and then you can upload it to places like imageshack.us
[06:19] <ziroday> luig1: you know how to pastebin from the command line?
[06:20] <luig1> NO.
[06:20] <luig1> No*
[06:20] <ziroday> luig1: as well as to start X the command is startx
[06:20] <binarymutant> ziroday: http://paste.ubuntu.com/104711
[06:20] <ziroday> binarymutant: lookin
[06:20] <binarymutant> thanks
[06:21] <Adrian2MiL8> Jerr > sorry i don't see you question ...what pack
[06:21] <ziroday> binarymutant: there are no errors there, and sudo /etc/init.d/?dm doesn't work
[06:22] <ziroday> luig1: you might want to install pastebinit, its a command that pastebins a bit of text
[06:22] <kinja-sheep> What is differences in simple-ccsm + compizconfig-settings-manager ?
you known how to change envyng configuration for update from 173 to 180 driver ??
[06:22] <ziroday> kinja-sheep: simple-ccsm does not have all the options that ccsm does, however its simpler :)
[06:22] <ziroday> Adrian2MiL8: that is not advised, see !latest to understand why
[06:23] <ziroday> Adrian2MiL8: why do you need the latest nvidia drivers?
[06:23] <kinja-sheep> ziroday: So I'd prefer the second choice then.  More power to the *nux, eh?
[06:23] <ziroday> kinja-sheep: sure
 only i want try
[06:23] <pyro2927> is there a program that will show a photo frame like windows vista has in its sidebar?
[06:23] <ziroday> Adrian2MiL8: upgrading to new graphics drivers can _really_ mess up your system. Upgrading just to try is never a good idea
[06:23] <Adrian2MiL8> ziroday > maybe speed up the compiz effects
[06:24] <klotho> Flannel: hey! I successfully upgraded to 7.04 but when I try to upgrade to 7.10 I get the same "no valid mirror" error. Any hints?
[06:24] <ziroday> pyro2927: take a look at screenlets or gdesklets for GNOME
[06:24] <ziroday> Adrian2MiL8: it most probably won't. Its better to wait until the next version of ubuntu with it in
[06:25] <pyro2927> ziroday: thanks!
[06:25] <kinja-sheep> ziroday: Cool.  I'm about to test out the stuffs -- Emerald is a theme -- Can it be used on compiz ?  Or is it same as.. metacity, emerald, compiz? (for compare).
[06:25] <klotho> or anyone else with a hint
[06:25] <ziroday> pyro2927: I personally recommend screenlets
when i logon into gnome there is for a few secons a horrous black squares until the destop finish to load with the gadgets awn and more
[06:26] <ziroday> kinja-sheep: emerald is a window manager that is run with compiz. However it is buggy, unstable and unmaintained. Its not advised to use it
[06:27] <kinja-sheep> ziroday: Wait... Not advised to use Emerald, but CompizFusion is stable... correct?
[06:27] <parvo> can rhythmbox connect to a mpd server?
[06:27] <ziroday> kinja-sheep: correct
when i logon into gnome there is for a few seconds a horrous black squares until the desktop finish to load with the gadgets awn and more
 i think what maybe is the 173 driver with my nv 8800gt
[06:28] <ziroday> Adrian2MiL8: the new drivers are unlikely to fix that. However if you must try them out there is a PPA at https://launchpad.net/~thomas-creutz/+archive
[06:29] <kinja-sheep> ziroday: Thank you.  This seems very straightforward.  I thought I'd have to do some kind of compiz --replace command?
[06:29] <FisherPrice> how can i get my ubuntu livecd to boot up when I do all the right things and it gets to "busybox initremfs"
 hmm .... looking..
[06:29] <FisherPrice> initram*
[06:29] <ziroday> kinja-sheep: to start emerald?
[06:29] <kinja-sheep> ziroday: No emerald.  Replace metacity with compiz?
[06:29] <klotho> I'm getting: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[06:29] <kinja-sheep> compiz-fusion*
[06:29] <sh1> i want to install yahoo messenger on my system
[06:29] <klotho> so how do I change that?
[06:30] <sh1> when i try to install it says this pkg cant be installed or installable
[06:30] <ziroday> kinja-sheep: then you can do compiz --replace or go to System > Pref > Appearance > Visual Effects and select Normal or Extra
i'm looking you link and there is for intrepid and jaunty but i have installed hardy
[06:31] <ziroday> Adrian2MiL8: the -180 drivers will not work on hardy.
[06:32] <Galadx> I have a dpkg error can someone help me correct it?
[06:32] <ziroday> Galadx: may we know what it is :)
are you sure ??  why ??
[06:32] <ziroday> Adrian2MiL8: because its packages are too out of date. It may work but not easily and will wreck your system
[06:32] <binarymutant> klotho: edgy is out of date, end of life
[06:32] <ziroday> Adrian2MiL8: the only way is to download the actual drivers from nvidia.com
[06:33] <parvo> does any one know if rhythmbox can connect to a mpd server?
[06:33] <realmatt> What are some really good fast paced country songs that would get a crowd going.  Must be sung by males.  Simmilar to Heartland by George Strait
[06:33] <Galadx> ziroday: E: dpkg was interupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem
 i have hardy updated at today with the lastest updates
[06:33] <ziroday> parvo: it can't afaik
[06:33] <binarymutant> realmatt: #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:33] <nickrud> realmatt, wrong channel
[06:33] <Galadx> it won't let me install anything
[06:33] <realmatt> oh my bad
[06:33] <ziroday> Galadx: did you run dpkg --configure-a ?
[06:33] <ziroday> Adrian2MiL8: that doesn't mean it has the latest version of the packages
[06:33] <Galadx> i opened up terminal and typed it in, but it says i need to be superuser
[06:33] <ziroday> !latest | Adrian2MiL8
[06:34] <kinja-sheep> ziroday: I'm confused.  This mean I'm running Compiz or CompizFusion now?  I'm gunning for CompizFusion.
[06:34] <ziroday> Galadx: try do sudo dpkg --configure-a
[06:34] <benyamin> hi
[06:34] <ziroday> kinja-sheep: it means you are running compiz fusion
[06:34] <nickrud> Galadx, sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a  (space there)
[06:34] <ziroday> Galadx: I made a typo, what nickrud said
[06:34] <kinja-sheep> ziroday: Thank you.  Now I have to test many neato features. :)
[06:34] <jerr> Anyone here have FreeNX Server running on their ubuntu box?
[06:34] <ziroday> nickrud: thanks
[06:34] <Galadx> ziroday: i tried several times, it just tells me i need to be a superuser
 y have downloaded already the 180.22 package from nvidia but the actual 173 driver was installed using envyng ..this it's why my dude from running the nvidia package by hand
[06:35] <nickrud> ziroday, np, I stay in channel for the same reasons ;)
[06:35] <ziroday> Adrian2MiL8: you are not making sense
[06:35] <xiaopi> does anybody know if there is a channel supporting webwin/virtualmin ?
[06:35] <Galadx> place it in the terminal?
[06:36] <ryanCH> the media players that come presinstalled on ubuntu, aren't very cool looking ... what is a good media player that has a cool looking interface?
[06:36] <ziroday> Galadx: in a terminal type in sudo dpkg --configure -a and then it will ask you for your password
[06:36] <miranda_psi> ryanCH: what do you mean by 'cool'?
[06:36] <ziroday> ryanCH: you can take a look at songbird or banshee
[06:36] <jerr> How do I tell if FreeNX server is running?
[06:36] <binarymutant> jerr: ps x ?
[06:36] <ziroday> ryanCH: however cool does have a price, usually stability
[06:37] <ryanCH> yeah, i know ;p
[06:37] <jerr> binarymutant: that will list all running aps?
 this is because i try to find the way modify envyng configuration by running update from there
[06:37] <binarymutant> jerr: ps aux    I think
[06:38] <ziroday> Adrian2MiL8: then you need to talk to the envy-ng author(s)
[06:38] <binarymutant> jerr: with a sudo in front of course; sudo ps aux
 yes maybe
[06:38] <miranda_psi> ryanCH: you can try amarok as well - its at least powerful :)
[06:38] <Galadx> says it doesn't reconize the command
[06:39] <ziroday> Galadx: what did you type in?
[06:39] <jerr> binarymutant: You know anything about FreeNX?
[06:39] <ryanCH> miranda_psi, thanks :)
[06:39] <kranny> hello
[06:39] <eatThisAndDie> jerr: is that a HTTP server?
[06:39] <whatev> what's the main things that changed in ubuntu in the last 12 months?
[06:39] <Galadx> nvm, i had a spelling error
[06:39] <binarymutant> jerr: no, but isn't it a cluster daemon?
[06:40] <jerr> Its something like VNC, yet on the NX engine.
[06:40] <eatThisAndDie> oh wait... thats the nomachine thing.
[06:40] <elphias> i did an apt-get kubuntu-desktop and i was wondering, now that i have uninstalled it, how do i get my menu's in ubuntu back without reinstalling?
[06:40] <eatThisAndDie> yeah used it. Its fun.
