[12:26] <azza_008> some1
[12:26] <azza_008> i formatted the 2 linux drives and now when i reboot it says grub can ] t load
[12:26] <TLE> Caplain: There's a link to a list in the wiki, but it does not seem to be to comprehensive though. I suppose I'll just have to serach specifically when I find a card if it is not in the list
[12:26] <SportWilly> or a tv card in general?
[12:28] <azza_008> i formatted the 2 linux drives and now when i reboot it says grub can ] t load
[12:28] <hastesaver> Hi, does anyone know how to start a (local) mailing list? Does one need root access?
[12:28] <azza_008> i formatted the 2 linux drives and now when i reboot it says grub can ] t load
[12:28] <hastesaver> !repeat
[12:28] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[12:29] <azza_008> ok
[12:29] <TLE> SportWilly: try searching for mythtv
[12:29] <azza_008> im just upset
[12:29] <dalfz> what do i need to enter greek letters into whatever editor?
[12:29] <dalfz> i got english setup
[12:29] <hastesaver> azza_008, understandable. But if you've just formatted all partitions, how do you expect grub to load? (Or is there more?...)
[12:30] <homme_seul> how to change my system's encoding to utf8 ?
[12:30] <hastesaver> dalfz, you could use the scim input plugin...
[12:30] <azza_008> well i still hasve windows
[12:30] <TLE> homme_seul: Ubuntu uses uft8 per default
[12:30] <homme_seul> TLE and if i want to change it ?
[12:31] <jazzrocker> dalfz, use vim!
[12:31] <jazzrocker> :)
[12:31] <dalfz> hastesaver, i been trying that for an hour or so. i don't even know if it's installed right
[12:31] <azza_008> but even if i try to boot from CD drive it says error 22
[12:31] <SportWilly> TLE : i got mythtv, tvtime and kdetv but none works, i included options bttv i /etc/... but still nothing
[12:31] <TLE> homme_seul: dalfz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[12:31] <hastesaver> dalfz, I got it to work at home... but I had some problems too; I don't remember. Try rebooting ;-)
[12:32] <azza_008> is grub on the windows partition
[12:32] <hastesaver> dalfz, By which I mean, zap X and restart it. That should be enough. Probably just logging out and back should be enough...
[12:32] <Pierre> SportWilly, check linuxtv.org, use the latest v4l drivers (you can compile them alone, without compiling a new kernel)
[12:32] <hastesaver> azza_008, you *should* be able to boot from the CD drive; that happens before grub takes over
[12:33] <dalfz> hastesaver, i just need a greek letter in my damn science report :P it appears in openoffice, but i'm unable to change font in dia
[12:33] <azza_008> well ill tell u what happens
[12:33] <hastesaver> dalfz, that's why you should use LaTeX for science reports ;)
[12:34] <dalfz> hastesaver, i use latex.. and i use dia for figures :) and i need a greek symbol in my figure this time
[12:34] <SportWilly> YES!!! worked,  i was using wrong tuner type
[12:34] <infidel> can someone give me an ideal of an application to browse a windows lan for shares
[12:34] <SportWilly> thanx TLE, pierre...
[12:34] <azza_008> GRUB loading, please wait.....

[12:34] <azza_008> please help me
[12:35] <Pierre> infidel, Menu "Places->Network Servers" as long as you have smb tools installed
[12:35] <infidel> Pierre, ok thanks
[12:36] <TLE> dalfz: I trick I used.  It has the advantage, that if you want to make another version of the same diagram with the same textm then you just copy the layers to it
[12:38] <azza_008> please help im fretting here
[12:38] <vrkhans> i am trying to install ubuntu from the cd , but it took long time and notting installed
[12:38] <vrkhans> did i miss any thing ,
[12:38] <azza_008> did it just load up
[12:38] <vrkhans> i choose the first option , install ubuntu
[12:38] <dalfz> TLE, hm that sounds heavy :) scaling dia figures with regular text has worked nicely for me.
[12:39] <azza_008> did u have a unused partition
[12:39] <hastesaver> Is it possible to start local (on our college network, say) mailing lists? Does one need root access?

[12:40] <whaley_> hastesaver: contact your uni's it staff and ask
[12:40] <azza_008> Haste how can i disable GRUB before the pc starts up
[12:40] <azza_008> i think i fucked my pc
[12:40] <AbortD> azza what os are you trying to install?
[12:41] <azza_008> linux
[12:41] <lastnode> azza_008, watch your language, please.
[12:41] <TLE> dalfz: Ok, if you can't get it to work any other way just lat me know and I'll explain it better
[12:41] <AbortD> ubuntu i take it
[12:41] <azza_008> i deleted the
[12:41] <azza_008> yeah ubuntu
[12:41] <azza_008> i deleted the 2 linux partitions and now when i boot my pc it says GRUB has error 22
[12:41] <AbortD> azza_008, just put the ubuntu cd if you dont want to keep the files on your drive just have the installation format your whole drive
[12:42] <azza_008> i already formatted it
[12:42] <azza_008> i am dualbootgin windows
[12:42] <dalfz> TLE, what format do you save your figure in, from gimp?
[12:42] <AbortD> alright well still let ubuntu do it because it will fix grub and everything
[12:42] <AbortD> let it do a full format
[12:42] <AbortD> it wont take long
[12:42] <azza_008> will it delete windows
[12:43] <AbortD> ohhh
[12:43] <AbortD> you have windows on it?
[12:43] <azza_008> yeah
[12:43] <AbortD> have fun with tha
[12:43] <AbortD> t

[12:43] <azza_008> umm
[12:43] <azza_008> what can i try
[12:44] <AbortD> delete the whole partition and the one grub is in
[12:44] <azza_008> i cant get into anything
[12:44] <TLE> dalfz: From GIMP, when I was done with everything I saved them as .eps but that's because the way write report require them to be in that format, in general for a drawing .png would be the preferred choise
[12:44] <AbortD> maybe partition magic has a boot cd
[12:44] <azza_008> it cant boot cds i tried it
[12:44] <azza_008> it says GRUB error 22
[12:44] <AbortD> hahhaha that has to sucjk
[12:44] <AbortD> suck
[12:45] <dalfz> TLE, yes i see.   well, first thing.. i'm gonna reboot.
[12:45] <hastesaver> whaley_, my "UNI's IT staff" is just this one guy... It's hard enough to get him to install things, asking him to actively maintain something would be impossible :)
[12:45] <azza_008> can u google thje error
[12:45] <jpjacobs> azza_008, try smartbootmanager floppy http://linux.simple.be/tools/sbm
[12:45] <hastesaver> azza_008, you have a backup, right? ;)
[12:45] <AbortD> you cann try
[12:45] <azza_008> no floppy drive
[12:45] <azza_008> no lol
[12:45] <AbortD> HAHAHAHAHAHA
[12:45] <whaley_> hastesaver: ouch, how does the place run then? :)

[12:46] <azza_008> wat place
[12:46] <treedreamer> hey , I am new to Launchpad , I want to translate the XMMS  app to chinese , what can i do ?
[12:46] <jpjacobs> azza_008, but if you get a grub error, it mostprobably is trying to boot from HD, so you'll have to adjust the boot order in your BIOS
[12:46] <azza_008> all i can access is the setup when u press delete
[12:46] <azza_008> i ave
[12:46] <vrkhasn> can any one help me
[12:46] <whaley_> hastesaver: in that case, just ask him for permission to set one up and you can configure the listserv tool yourself
[12:47] <jpjacobs> !ask>vrkhsan
[12:47] <jpjacobs> !ask>vrkhasn
[12:47] <vrkhasn> i try to install ubuntu , from the cd
[12:47] <hastesaver> whaley_, yes, that's what I wanted to know. So I won't need the root password or anything to configure the listserv tool myself? And what package is that tool in?
[12:47] <TLE> treedreamer: You should check if there is a team for translating into chinese and ask them how they do it, there might have some guidelines and/or wordlitsts ans something like that
[12:47] <vrkhasn> but after a long time of running notthing installed
[12:47] <^Down> Can someone help me with this? http://pastebin.ca/183899
[12:47] <azza_008> i changed a settin try again
[12:47] <whaley|gone> hastesaver: you may need root, but if it is on one of your boxes that wouldn't be a problem
[12:47] <vrkhasn> i dont understand why
[12:47] <treedreamer> TLE , thanks
[12:48] <whaley|gone> if you are using the univ's hosting, then i don't think you'd be able to do it
[12:48] <vrkhasn> big pause of blank brownish screen
[12:48] <^Down> Is there a way to do this without removing all of these programs and libraries http://pastebin.ca/183899
[12:48] <hastesaver> whaley|gone, ok, I understand. I'll ask him and see what we can do :)
[12:48] <vrkhasn> i restarted my computer notting installed
[12:49] <webben> Can anybody recommend anything comparable to Pan Newsreader, that could be used from the command line?
[12:49] <azza_008> lol i was trying to boot off of the wrong disc llol
[12:49] <webben> (It needs to be able to post messages from my Hotmail account).
[12:49] <vrkhasn> it seems like its reading from the cd but dosnt show any thing on the window
[12:49] <azza_008> need to find real 1
[12:49] <scrp> how can i change the default player in firefox? this totem player is terrible....
[12:50] <webben> scrp: change it to what? mplayer? realplayer? vlc?
[12:50] <scrp> cant i just uninstall totem?
[12:50] <hastesaver> scrp, install the mozilla-mplayer (or was it mplayerplug-in ?) package
[12:50] <scrp> webben: yea, anything else, mplayer or vlc is fine
[12:50] <webben> scrp: IIRC just install the relevant packages
[12:51] <scrp> webben: i think i already did that
[12:51] <vrkhasn> i have windows installed can i still able to installed on the same partitation
[12:51] <scrp> i should have the vlc plugin at least
[12:51] <scrp> but still totem always opens
[12:51] <vrkhasn> or do  i have to make partitions
[12:51] <^Down> I need some help with this without removing all of these programs and libraries http://pastebin.ca/183899
[12:51] <webben> scrp: another thing to do is download a file of the type you're trying to open
[12:51] <webben> scrp: and open it from the desktop
[12:51] <azza_008> yes i got ot
[12:51] <scrp> webben: its not possible to download this i think :p
[12:51] <webben> scrp: you should get an option to set vlc as the program to open it with
[12:52] <hastesaver> scrp, the mozilla-mplayer package works fine for me.
[12:52] <webben> scrp: do you have a link?
[12:52] <scrp> webben: try this http://veftivi.visir.is/veftivi/main.do?treeId=10016&progId=23385
[12:53] <scrp> just want to uninstall this totem crap
[12:53] <scrp> it always gives me an error
[12:53] <scrp> when trying to play that feed
[12:53] <^Down> sudo apt-get remove totem
[12:53] <vrkhasn> please help me
[12:53] <vrkhasn> this is the first time i m installing linux
[12:53] <Mortice> !ask
[12:53] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:54] <hastesaver> vrkhasn, no, you can't install on the same partition; you have to make new partitions.  If you're using Windows 2000 or later, it comes with a Disk Management tool taht you can use
[12:56] <vrkhasn> ya on different partition on the same drive
[12:57] <vrkhasn> my windows partition is 20 gib
[12:57] <AbortD> can anyone help me with why totem will play mp3s but amarok wont but it will play wma files?
[12:57] <vrkhasn> 20 gb
[12:57] <hastesaver> AbortD, you have to do some special things to get Amarok to play mp3s... wait
[12:57] <vrkhasn> if i want to repartition that drive how much do i need for linux
[12:58] <AbortD> thanks hastesaver
[12:58] <Samuli^> AbortD, it depends on what codecs you have installed for whichever backend you're using with the players
[12:58] <rzk> vrkhasn no one knows. take at least 5
[12:58] <AbortD> amarok is great
[12:58] <AbortD> wish i could get it workin :p
[12:58] <Samuli^> AbortD, by default totem uses gstreamer and amarok uses xine, but you can change that for both.
[12:58] <chopchop_> AbortD: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/MP3_on_Kubuntu_6.06
[12:59] <hastesaver> vrkhasn, 10 should be enough
[12:59] <Samuli^> or just install all of the codecs for whatever backend.
[12:59] <scrp> hastesaver: how can i see what packages are already installed on my system?
[12:59] <vrkhasn> i am dfrag right now
[12:59] <vrkhasn> after that what i need to do
[12:59] <AbortD> chopchop_,  thanks
[12:59] <hastesaver> scrp, You can start Synaptic and look for which ones are ticked :-) There is also apt-cache policy, for a specific package. You can also do apt-get remove TAB TAB :)
[01:00] <vrkhasn> rzk you mean 5gb
[01:00] <vrkhasn> of space for linux
[01:00] <Samuli^> !restrictedformats > AbortD
[01:00] <hastesaver> AbortD, yes, that's the page I was looking for. Thanks chopchop_
[01:01] <hastesaver> AbortD, can't you just ask Amarok to use a different engine? gstreamer should do, I think...
[01:01] <scrp> also i found another problem, when booting ubuntu my screen goes fubar... everything scrambles up (also all my consoles are blank, aswell as my screen goes blank when shutting down)
[01:01] <hastesaver> vrkhasn, not defrag, there is something to resize partitions and create free space
[01:01] <vrkhasn> which one is that
[01:02] <hastesaver> vrkhasn, I don't know; it's a long time since I used Windows :) It's in "Administrative tools" or some wordy thing like that
[01:04] <vrkhasn> what option i need to choose to install ubuntu
[01:04] <vrkhasn> from the cd
[01:04] <Upayavir1> new Thinkpad T60, new Dapper install, no sound. aplay -l, lspci -vv | grep Audio, lsmod | grep snd all showed hardware there and modules loaded. Reinstalling with "apt-get install --reinstall -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confmiss -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confnew linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils" and then /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart didn't make any difference. Any ideas?
[01:05] <vrkhasn> it didnt install any thing the last time i tried to installed
[01:06] <hastesaver> vrkhasn, try the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot; they might work for you, but no promises. BACKUP EVERYTHING!  Don't forget to defrag!
[01:08] <hastesaver> vrkhasn, and a backup on a different partition on the same drive is ridiculous.
[01:08] <WinterWeaver> can anyone give me a link on how to get Ubuntu to read my DVD's ??
[01:09] <azza_008> i am installing ubuntu what size should my boot and swap partitions be
[01:09] <azza_008> please help me
[01:09] <erUSUL> !dvd
[01:09] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html  Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[01:09] <WinterWeaver> Swap Partition is basically a "Virtual Memory" drive... so that is up to you
[01:09] <Upayavir1> azza_008: I don't tend to have a boot partition as such. With a 100Gb drive, I have a 20Gb partition
[01:10] <azza_008> whaty doesally do boot actu
[01:10] <azza_008> sorry
[01:10] <Upayavir1> for root, and swap the same (or slightly bigger) than the amount of RAM you have
[01:10] <erUSUL> azza_008: boot: ~100 MiB swap: 1 or 2 * RAM size
[01:10] <azza_008> wat does boot actually do
[01:10] <Upayavir1> and the rest as /home
[01:10] <AbortD> thanks for all the help with amarok
[01:10] <azza_008> home??? not root
[01:10] <Upayavir1> azza_008: you can have a separate boot partition, which contains Linux kernel itself.
[01:11] <Upayavir1> And then have / mounted on a different partition.
[01:11] <azza_008> is it useful
[01:11] <erUSUL> azza_008: it keeps the files esential for grub to be able to boot the system
[01:11] <Upayavir1> I don't tend to do that.
[01:11] <scrp> lol after i removed totem, now i cant watch ANY video...its always just the sound and no picture
[01:11] <azza_008> ok i will do it
[01:11] <azza_008> ok
[01:11] <Upayavir1> I just stick it all on /
[01:11] <azza_008> here is what i need
[01:11] <Upayavir1> And keep /home on a separate partition
[01:11] <azza_008> what is home
[01:11] <azza_008> is it root
[01:11] <Upayavir1> that's the equivalent of My Documents
[01:11] <AbortD> ./..
[01:11] <raj> how to priorities a process in linux
[01:12] <Upayavir1> nice?
[01:12] <azza_008> ahh ok what is wrong with it with root
[01:12] <Upayavir1> raj, nice?
[01:12] <AbortD> its the equivalent to C:\
[01:12] <azza_008> ohh ok
[01:12] <dalfz> does anyone know what keyboard layout has the "vartheta" letter? i can't see it in "greece", am i blind?
[01:12] <WinterWeaver> erUSUL, Thanks for the DVD link... btw... ain't that name an angel's name ?
[01:12] <Upayavir1> you need to re-install you OS, and all of your files are stored within the OS
[01:12] <AbortD> nm i was wrong
[01:12] <AbortD> i lie
[01:12] <Upayavir1> azza_008: that would be poo.
[01:12] <AbortD> my documents is correct i was mistaken
[01:12] <azza_008> what would
[01:12] <knob> but root home is in /root not ./..
[01:13] <raj> is it possible  to priorities a process which is already running
[01:13] <azza_008> so y not just kerep it on same partition'
[01:13] <Upayavir1> azza_008: yeah, I mean file system root, i.e. /
[01:13] <azza_008> ohh ok
[01:13] <knob> yeh root mean user root and filesystem root
[01:13] <Upayavir1> azza_008: yeah, have one 20Gb partition for /, which contains /boot (kernel, etc), /root (root user's home dir), /usr (your whole OS)
[01:13] <Upayavir1>  /etc (all of your OS config)
[01:14] <erUSUL> Upayavir1: maybe this is of some help http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2006/07/02/thinkpad-t60-laptop-with-debiangrml-linux/ or this http://vizzzion.org/?id=t60

[01:14] <azza_008> ok
[01:14] <Upayavir1> and then another partition for /home, which will have your /home/<YOURUSERNAME> directory
[01:14] <Upayavir1> which will contain all of your local config.
[01:14] <Naked_Snake> Heh
[01:14] <Upayavir1> erUSUL: thx, looking
[01:14] <knob>  /usr not mean user
[01:14] <azza_008> is 44gb for root 5gb for swap and 20 mb for boot ok
[01:14] <Naked_Snake> Guys, guess what!  :-D
[01:15] <lastnode> azza_008, 5 for swap is a lot. id say a gig max :-)
[01:15] <Naked_Snake> AKA : yay
[01:15] <lastnode> Naked_Snake, awesome!
[01:15] <azza_008> ohh ok i had 1gb klast time and it lagged so what does swap do
[01:16] <Upayavir1> erUSUL: wierd. I just muted/unmuted using mute button above keyboard, and...
[01:16] <Naked_Snake> If I'd ever get this e-mail back from ShipIt :(
[01:16] <Upayavir1> SOUND!!!!
[01:16] <Upayavir1> azza_008: 44Gb for root is a waste.
[01:16] <azza_008> yt
[01:16] <Upayavir1> azza_008: I've never filled 20Gb. 20Mb for boot is too large too, I'd say.
[01:16] <azza_008> isnt thhere all files are stored
[01:17] <lastnode> azza_008, id say the biggest drive for /home
[01:17] <lastnode> because that's where all your files will be
[01:17] <azza_008> isnt home on root
[01:17] <knob> root home is on /root
[01:17] <scrp> azza_008: yup it is
[01:17] <lastnode> azza_008, no /root is the /home of the root user, which ubuntu doesnt have.
[01:17] <Upayavir1> azza_008: no, your home should be on /home!
[01:17] <Shish> azza_008: I have 5GB root, of which I've used 3.5 ; and the rest is /home
[01:17] <azza_008> so i need 4 partitions
[01:17] <Naked_Snake> I got a question though : will it work on my AMD 64?
[01:17] <Naked_Snake> Or will I have to use a different box
[01:17] <Red-Sox> Hi I've just installed ubuntu on my new inspiron e1505 and I'm very satisfied except for one thing, the Touch-To-Click, It's really sensitive, I think I may have found the answer in this forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1415526&postcount=3 but I don't know how to do that (It's at the bottom)
[01:18] <Red-Sox>   So essentialy, my question is how do I add "MaxTapTime" "0" on the line below "Driver" "synaptics"?
[01:18] <Shish> (and 512MB swap)
[01:18] <lastnode> !amd64
[01:18] <ubotu> AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information.
[01:18] <Naked_Snake> Coolies
[01:18] <azza_008> do i need 4 partitionsd
[01:18] <scrp> azza_008: if you install 44gb for / then that will cover /home (for the users) and /root (homedir for root)
[01:18] <receptor> hi
[01:18] <Upayavir1> azza_008: three. 20Gb /, 2Gb (or ram amount) swap, /home everything else
[01:18] <Shish> 20gb / o_O?
[01:18] <azza_008> so iis root cover ghome or not
[01:18] <azza_008> home
[01:18] <nomad111> how do i remove old kernels once new one is installed
[01:18] <lastnode> azza_008, / covers /home AND /root
[01:18] <Red-Sox> Or maybe, a better question is, what document is the line with "Driver and "Synaptics" in it?
[01:18] <azza_008> ok
[01:18] <lastnode> nomad111, synaptic
[01:19] <azza_008> thank
[01:19] <nomad111> thx
[01:19] <azza_008> ok so wat does swap dpo
[01:19] <scrp> azza_008: still if you want to make it simple just make a swap partition and / partition :p
[01:19] <knob> root cover home and root home /root
[01:20] <Shish>  /root isn't really worth worrying about :P
[01:20] <azza_008> i mean /
[01:20] <Upayavir1> azza_008: swap is your "virtual memory". If your PC doesn't have enough RAM to store all your currently running apps, it will send some of it out into your swap partition.
[01:20] <azza_008> ok
[01:20] <scrp> there is no need to setup so many partitions unless you are running a server
[01:20] <azza_008> ok
[01:20] <azza_008> too late
[01:20] <azza_008> ahwell
[01:21] <lastnode> azza_008, you can generall just set / and /swap
[01:21] <scrp> but by making a partition specially for /home can be useful, in case you need to backup your stuff
[01:21] <Docta> Hey
[01:21] <lastnode> that is enough :-)
[01:21] <lastnode> hey Docta
[01:21] <azza_008> ok an 200mb is ebough for boot
[01:21] <lastnode> whoa
[01:21] <lastnode> 200?
[01:21] <Docta> i need some help unziping things
[01:21] <scrp> azza_008: more than enough
[01:21] <lastnode> ok
[01:21] <lastnode> yeah if you have a big disk
[01:21] <lastnode> knock yourself out
[01:21] <azza_008> ok better safe than sorry
[01:21] <Docta> the file ext is rar
[01:21] <lastnode> !rar
[01:21] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[01:21] <Janchi> @ Docta: use Easy Ubuntu to make thtat happen
[01:21] <azza_008> should i get a new dd for my bday or a 500 gb h
[01:22] <gh0stwizard> Hi everybody! How I can install Seamonkey? apt-cache search seamonkey prints nothing...
[01:22] <azza_008> a new pc or 500gb hdd
[01:22] <scrp> azza_008: depends on your budget .)
[01:22] <Shish> azza_008: depends what you need
[01:22] <azza_008> this laptopis bad the mouse moves and clicks for no reason
[01:22] <azza_008> well movies
[01:23] <scrp> azza_008: however, if you are going to buy a new PC i recommend waiting 1 month or so for the new quattro CPU
[01:23] <azza_008> well i have to wait tilnywayust a
[01:23] <azza_008> august anyway
[01:23] <azza_008> the budget would be abou 1500 australian dollers
[01:23] <scrp> azza_008: that quattro cpu is going to rock.
[01:23] <azza_008> is it amd or athlon
[01:23] <scrp> intel
[01:24] <azza_008> nah i take athlon any day
[01:24] <azza_008> amd rocks
[01:24] <scrp> hah
[01:24] <hastesaver> Red-Sox, is it /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[01:24] <scrp> quattro will own athlon lol
[01:24] <azza_008> really
[01:24] <azza_008> how much will it be''
[01:24] <scrp> the duo cpu has 2 cores, im using it now and its uber
[01:24] <scrp> the quattro will have 4 cores
[01:24] <scrp> so its like 4 damn cpu's in one cpu
[01:24] <superkirbyartist> when using wmdial i get error 8 (connect script failed)
[01:25] <azza_008> how much lol
[01:25] <scrp> azza_008: not sure
[01:25] <Docta> I still can't exract it
[01:25] <azza_008> would it be 1000 us dollers
[01:25] <bony> is there a way to login remotly to a server and run x?
[01:26] <scrp> bony: yes
[01:26] <superkirbyartist> Please there are 885 people in here.  Can you help me?  I get error 8 (connect script failed) when using wmdial!
[01:26] <SpComb> I wonder how large the benefits of four cores will be...
[01:26] <SpComb> and the price
[01:26] <azza_008> sorry man i am a noob lol
[01:26] <elmargol> Hi if i do svn add, subversion includes pyc files how can I ignore them?
[01:26] <azza_008> also i spose i would need a uber mother board
[01:26] <superkirbyartist> People?
[01:26] <scrp> azza_008: well you said a new computer
[01:27] <azza_008> YEAH
[01:27] <azza_008> i know
[01:27] <Upayavir1> docta: my /boot is 212Mb, on a system that was installed March 2005, and has been through three Ubuntu upgrades (I think)
[01:27] <superkirbyartist> Go see (07:26:15)
[01:27] <bony> scrp, and all the gnome apps? if so how to do that?
[01:27] <azza_008> also what does boot do
[01:27] <superkirbyartist> PlEaSe!
[01:27] <Naked_Snake> I got another question
[01:27] <superkirbyartist> pLeAsE!
[01:27] <azza_008> u will get booted
[01:27] <Naked_Snake> How easy is Ubuntu to use if you've NEVER used any form of Linux before
[01:27] <dalfz> anybody know how i can compose a raw character from unicode?
[01:28] <scrp> bony: there are 2 ways, one is to through ssh tunnel, the other is...dont remember, i think its vnc
[01:28] <azza_008> if u be quite ur q will be abswered
[01:28] <Naked_Snake> Well, I used Knoppix but it messed up :-P
[01:28] <azza_008> very easy i can use it lol i only tried a day or two ago
[01:28] <Naked_Snake> Nice
[01:28] <bony> scrp, i think the ssh way is the secured way? but how to do that?
[01:28] <azza_008> when is th disc coming
[01:29] <scrp> Naked_Snake: Ubuntu Linux will do fine for browsing and office work, but not for games
[01:29] <Naked_Snake> Oh, well, I can always dual-boot for games
[01:29] <scrp> bony: i think vnc is better, but you can read up on google how to tunnel x through ssh :O
[01:29] <Naked_Snake> And anyway, Doom is open source :-D
[01:29] <superkirbyartist> It is?
[01:30] <superkirbyartist> Isn
[01:30] <Naked_Snake> You didn't know that the Doom source was GPL?
[01:30] <superkirbyartist> Isn't is microsoft?
[01:30] <Naked_Snake> It used to be under the Doom Educational License
[01:30] <Naked_Snake> ???
[01:30] <scrp> Naked_Snake: anyway, if your worried you "could" run Ubuntu through vmware in Windows :)
[01:30] <Naked_Snake> Heh
[01:30] <scrp> but vmware isnt free
[01:31] <Naked_Snake> I'd rather dual-boot, I'm cheap
[01:31] <scrp> (and i never support anything that costs money in Linux)
[01:31] <scrp> open source for life.
[01:31] <knob> ubuntu desktop is livecd dosnt need be installed
[01:31] <azza_008> it is slow as anything though
[01:31] <Naked_Snake> Yeah, but I want to install it ;0
[01:31] <scrp> Naked_Snake: go for it :)
[01:32] <knob> i prefer not install any os then i have all hd
[01:32] <Naked_Snake> I tried to install Red Hat once and ended up messing up my 160 gig HD (and then subsequently fixing it)
[01:32] <superkirbyartist> so where is help?
[01:32] <scrp> Naked_Snake: then use 2 hard drives
[01:33] <azza_008> no partition it
[01:33] <superkirbyartist> Why does no one help me?
[01:33] <Naked_Snake> I will use a second HD, scrp
[01:34] <Naked_Snake> And it was my second HD when I tried with RH, but it was being used for Windows stuff too
[01:34] <Naked_Snake> I partitioned it and the partition subsequently decided to screw itself
[01:34] <malice_> I downloaded a deb file opened it up with my package installer and it told me : Same Version is available in a software channel. And it would rather me do it from there. But how and where do I do this?

[01:40] <scrp> well if you are using dhcp i think it will overwrite it

[01:50] <chibiace> Linuxant must die!
[01:50] <pricechild_> it used to work yesterday... but i reinstalled linux fresh
[01:50] <azza_008> also when i scroll it hangs for about a sec
[01:51] <pricechild_> and now tvtime can access /dev/video0 if run as root
[01:51] <pricechild_> if i change permissions on /dev/video0 to "read and write" for others... then tvtime says it can capture from it, but recieves no signal
[01:51] <azza_008> any ideas
[01:52] <sos> skdkl
[01:53] <nomad111> hey all how can i find out wat gfx driver im using

[01:53] <chibiace> nomad111, sudo lspci will probably tell you
[01:54] <azza_008> any way to reduce it a bit
[01:54] <reisi> hi everyone! how do i check from www for example, which version is the *ubuntu nvidia driver...?
[01:56] <Samuli^> azza_008, there's pre-linking which could help.
[01:56] <azza_008> what is that lol

[01:56] <chibiace> where can i go to hate linuxant for making drivers that you have to pay for to get full speed out of a 56k modem, man.
[01:57] <azza_008> i meant how can i do it
[01:57] <Samuli^> azza_008, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=74197&highlight=pre-linking
[01:57] <nomad111> far out i am having trouble installing aiglx

[01:57] <chibiace> prelinking probably wont give you any noticable gain.
[01:57] <nomad111> cant find certain packages
[01:57] <jrib> dalfz: which application?
[01:57] <bionoid> dalfz: Some do, some don't. use the menu editor to add them manually.
[01:58] <bionoid> chibiace: LOL what?! You're kidding, right?

[01:58] <azza_008> any other way

[01:59] <Samuli^> azza_008, swithing to a faster desktop-enviroment or using lighter programs.
[01:59] <chibiace> linuxant wants you to pay for the driver of the conexant modems or you will be limited to 14k

[02:15] <eracc> azza_008, 512MB RAM is "enough" depending on what you do.

[02:15] <brekker> hi do anyone noxs the min spec for ubuntu
[02:15] <azza_008> so is the 5gb swap slowing it down
[02:15] <tucoz> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, there is a gnome irc server where you can get help with anjuta
[02:15] <THX-1138> Did that help?
[02:15] <eracc> azza_008, 512MB is fine for typical home usage.
[02:16] <chibiace> azza_008, why do you have 5gb swap
[02:16] <manmadha> THX-1138, ya seeing
[02:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> tucoz: you know the address?
[02:16] <IceTox> frogzoo: how do I find out where my win disk is located? (hda1, hdd1 etc..)
[02:16] <azza_008> but is it the swap making it lag
[02:16] <eracc> 5GB of swap is ... excessive.
[02:16] <mypapit> THX-1138:= havent seen the movie for quite some time
[02:16] <tucoz> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, irc.gnome.org
[02:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> thanks
[02:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> IceTox: sudo fdisk -l
[02:16] <IceTox> tanks a lot PunjabiFLOYDIAN :)
[02:16] <tucoz> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, I think there is a anjuta channel there as well. Otherwise you can try some gnome-dev channel
[02:16] <chibiace> azza_008, it only uses swap if your memory is full. you can check from the system monitor program thingie
[02:17] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> tucoz: is anjuta the standard IDE for Linux?
[02:17] <frogzoo> IceTox: sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda  should offer clues
[02:17] <IceTox> indeed frogzoo :)
[02:17] <IceTox> thanks
[02:17] <azza_008> ok
[02:17] <THX-1138> myapit. - a really good movie AND a close count of the times i have asked for help learning linux and got it here. Thanks THX 1138 times. - grin
[02:17] <eracc> azza_008, I have 512MB RAM and 256MB swap. I /want/ stuff cleared from RAM instead of swapping to disk.
[02:17] <tucoz> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, not sure. I don't think there is a standard IDE. But it is fairly integrated for gnome development though
[02:18] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> tucoz: thanks buddy
[02:18] <brekker> minimum cpu pleace
[02:18] <eracc> I have yet to run out of RAM except for a runaway app that had a memory leak.

[02:18] <eracc> No, older version of the crossfire client.

[02:19] <Po0dle> Ubuntu killed my pc
[02:19] <gyro54> Any ideas on how to make a Audigy2 platinum remote work?
[02:20] <eracc> At the time I had 512MB RAM and 1GB swap. The leaking client filled it ALL and brought the system to its' knees.

[02:23] <eracc> chibiace, I am running xubuntu on an old Dell with 384MB RAM and a PIII 450MHz. Works fine with the lighter window manager.
[02:23] <IceTox> thanks frogzoo. The manual you gave me worked very good :)
[02:23] <Po0dle> i dunno
[02:23] <chibiace> eracc, yes, but gnome doesnt. xfce is quite neat really
[02:23] <eracc> Actually I prefer fluxbox. Installing the stuff *I* like now. :-)
[02:24] <malice_> I have a wireless PCI card and in order for me to get connected to the internet I have to insert it just at the righ ttime for the system to see it. If I insert it to early it will freeze if I install it to late it will not see it at all. My question is, is there a way to mount this in terminal I have tried sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and then down when I am finished but sometimes it does not work or it freezes. Just wondering if there is a
[02:24] <chibiace> fluxbox is my favorite light wm, though i would never use it if gnome worked
[02:24] <brekker> i use a athlon 1.1  with 512 ram and it works faster as any win
[02:24] <Po0dle> so THX
[02:24] <eracc> I'm switching all my SOHO biz systems (except for the FreeBSD server) to *buntu from Mandriva. Just started yesterday. :-)
[02:24] <THX-1138> eracc - Did i see a fluxbox version  of Uuntu on the web?
[02:24] <Po0dle> what do i need to look for on these sites
[02:25] <eracc> THX-1138, no idea. I just installed xubuntu and then used synaptic to get fluxbox.
[02:25] <jllitvay> Does anyone has installed ubuntu on G3 Powermac??
[02:25] <bruno__> hello , I am french ubuntu user, I am on 6.10
[02:25] <THX-1138> http://fluxbuntu.org/
[02:25] <IceTox> Now, does anyone know how this metacity thingie works? :) I've got some cute themes which I wanna set in my ubuntu install.
[02:25] <eracc> THX-1138, oh, that is cool! :-)
[02:25] <THX-1138> uofficial but it's there.
[02:26] <eracc> Well, I'll stuck with official and just pop on flux. :-)
[02:26] <eracc> *stick
[02:26] <chibiace> IceTox, you want to install themes?
[02:27] <brekker> i just wonna ust my very old duron 450 as 2end pc
[02:27] <IceTox> chibiace: indeed.. I'd like to have my gnome desktop look a little more comfertable :)
[02:27] <chibiace> IceTox, you can drag them into the theme manager thing in system > preferences > theme
[02:27] <chibiace> IceTox, or unpack it to .themes
[02:27] <eracc> Only thing I don't like so far is this freaking slow us repository. I need to find a repository list so I can change this ...
[02:27] <IceTox> ah.. lemme try that right a way chibiace :)
[02:27] <snarf> is there a java package for unbuntu?
[02:28] <rzk> !java

[02:28] <gyro54> Any ideas on how to make a Audigy2 platinum remote work?
[02:29] <chibiace> brekker, try ubuntu with xfce, gnome might be too slow. the slowest specs i've run gnome on are 350mhz and 256mb and it is usable but not as fun
[02:29] <Po0dle> i dont understand this step
[02:29] <Po0dle> When the Ubuntu splash screen comes up with the boot: prompt, type in rescue and press enter.
[02:29] <IceTox> chibiace: "Windows Border Theme ATER-Blue correctly installed. You can select it in the theme details." <-- This message comes, but still, I cannot find the crappy metacity theme in my theme manager :)
[02:29] <kanpachi> hello, when using mplayer  works fine, except when i load videos that have mp3 audio track, i get an error saying "Requested audio codec family [mp3]  (afm=mp3lib) not avaiable. Enable it at compliation". the video plays just fine and so does the sound, what do i do?
[02:30] <brekker> ok thanks
[02:30] <chibiace> IceTox, theme details, you can select each part of the theme
[02:30] <eracc> xubuntu should work "out of the box" on slower systems.
[02:30] <IceTox> oh.. *blushes* Thanks chibiace :)

[02:31] <THX-1138> Google "Linux Swappiness" some nifty tips on swapfiles and ram usage. bumped into a site some months ago. (yep nerdy but it does make a noticeable difference at least to me.)
[02:32] <eracc> Just to familiarize myself ... the CLI way to install software on *buntu is with apt-get?
[02:32] <chibiace> apt-get install appname
[02:32] <eracc> Ok, thanks.
[02:33] <eracc> I prefer installing apps from the CLI.

[02:36] <jllitvay> noone??
[02:36] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> so if the output file has to be X then i should write gcc -o X file.c?

[02:39] <eracc> Dude, I started with ed. vi was a great thing. ;-)
[02:39] <Dekkard> but vimtutor is a great thing to get you going
[02:39] <eracc> Yup
[02:39] <eracc> One basically need know only a handful of vim commands to use the thing.
[02:40] <Dekkard> so now if i can just figure out how to get arwiz cursor gone and reinstall the default I should get X back

[02:41] <tucoz> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, of course.
[02:41] <Raul654> can anyone recommend one?
[02:41] <tucoz> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, I use emacs all the time
[02:41] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> tucoz: is it good for C programming?
[02:41] <eracc> Emacs - a great OS that needs a good text editor. :-p
[02:41] <tucoz> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, but i wouldn't call it an IDE
[02:41] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> oh. its good for C Programming?
[02:41] <Dekkard> eracc:  that was funny
[02:42] <tucoz> Yes, it's excellent for C programming
[02:42] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> ok thanks :D
[02:42] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> by the way, was wondering: in which language was Emacs programmed?
[02:42] <tucoz> C
[02:42] <Dekkard> look up the article "living in emacs"
[02:42] <eracc> Dekkard, it was not original. I saw that on a pro-vim site. :-)
[02:42] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> oh. and C was programmed in ?
[02:42] <Raul654> Can anyone suggest an alarm clock applet for gnome?
[02:42] <megasquid> is "fglrx" driver differnt from the "radeon" driver?
[02:43] <chibiace> isnt the radeon the opensource one

[02:45] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> azza_008: maybe. recommened is 2 and half times the amount of physical RAM. anything more than that is waste
[02:45] <mjr> mon^rch, probably will, but not before the mp3 patents have expired
[02:45] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> mon^rch: use XMMS.w hyworry bout patents?

[02:47] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> lol ok
[02:47] <chimai> 'lo
[02:47] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> see ya guys. happy hacking.
[02:47] <eracc> Actually there are some Linux gurus that will say swap should decrease in size as RAM increases in size. The rule of thumb I have seen over and over is under 512MB make swap 2x RAM. At 512MB make swap 512MB or 256MB (depending on the guru). At 768MB and up swap may or may not be needed at all.

[03:00] <eracc> ukjadoon, that will allow you to set a password for root and enable root login.
[03:00] <eracc> lastnode, ok.
[03:00] <lastnode> eracc, the rationale being that if a user really wanted a root account, he'd know how.
[03:01] <eracc> lastnode, it is the first thing I looke dup. :-)
[03:01] <lastnode> eracc, because then we dont have to deal with "oh no i accidentally rm -rf /usr
[03:01] <lastnode> eracc, me too, but we don't advocate it here in #ubuntu generally
[03:01] <lastnode> just fyi
[03:01] <eracc> lastnode, I get it. Next time I'll just say "use sudo, dude". ;-)
[03:01] <azza_008> any ideas
[03:01] <stu_> anyone know of a webpage showing linux desktops, themes, visual enhancements etc?
[03:02] <LjL> stu_: perhaps gnome-look.org (or kde-look.org)
[03:02] <eracc> azza_008, define lag.
[03:02] <azza_008> well when i open up a program the mouse jumps
[03:03] <eracc> Wow, my mouse just stays on my desk. ;-)
[03:03] <azza_008> i mean th cursir
[03:03] <azza_008> curcor
[03:03] <azza_008> cursor
[03:03] <eracc> azza_008, I know.
[03:03] <darkanyel> sc0tty,what mean this?  "Video thumbnailer (Requires nautilus from the GNOME 2.2 release)"
[03:03] <LjL> azza_008: don't really have a clue, but... is that only when you open up a program, or more generically when the hard drive is being used?
[03:04] <sc0tty_> darkanyel: yes I guess
[03:04] <azza_008> when i poen a program and scroll down it hangs for about a second
[03:04] <sc0tty_> if you're running a gnome >2.2 you're fine, and I'd say you are
[03:04] <sexcopter8000m> hi, i want to access shared stuff on a windows machine. i have 3 xp pro machines connected to the router (plus this ubuntu laptop). i can access one of the xp machines, but not the other two. any starting points how to fix this?
[03:04] <sc0tty_> sexcopter8000m: can you access these machines from the xp box ?
[03:04] <darkanyel> so, a have to upgrade my gnome??? :S
[03:05] <LjL> azza_008: hm, what about if you have an iconified window, and open it up?
[03:05] <azza_008> wat
[03:05] <chibiace> ubuntu needs nfs discovery
[03:05] <sc0tty_> no, darkanyel if you have the latest ubuntu you have 2.14
[03:05] <sc0tty_> so you're fine
[03:05] <SGL> Question: Nothing happens when I do either "sudo updatedb" or "sudo apt-get install blaaaaa". Does anyone know what is wrong? (Using XUBUNTU)
[03:05] <sexcopter8000m> sc0tty_, no, that's why i thought i'd try from ubuntu. what i really want to do is shit files from one pc to a laptop, which happen to be the two uncooperative xp machines
[03:05] <LjL> azza_008: if you minimize/iconify a window... i.e. press the button that makes the window go away into the window list... and then bring it back from the window list
[03:05] <fourat> i did a fresh install of cupsys and i dont get the /etc/cups/client.conf file, what's wrong ?
[03:05] <eracc> azza_008, that sounds like a video redraw thing. Very likely related to your video card + driver.
[03:05] <azza_008> ill check
[03:05] <darkanyel> but, so why i cant see the thumbnail
[03:06] <azza_008> well is there a sis liinux driver
[03:06] <sc0tty_> sexcopter8000m: I'd say it's a windows side problem then
[03:06] <azza_008> yeah it does a bit
[03:06] <fourat> where's the  /etc/cups/client.conf in dapper ?
[03:06] <eracc> azza_008, your video chipset is SiS?
[03:06] <sc0tty_> because you need to install totem-thumbnail so he can create the thumbnails :)
[03:06] <sexcopter8000m> sc0tty_, think i agree... i've torn my hair out in front of them, not sure what it could be ><
[03:06] <sc0tty_> well I don't have windows around
[03:07] <omar> hello, there are some web pages in flash that I cannot see. However others open easyly, what can I do
[03:07] <azza_008> yeah SiS
[03:07] <omar> I have firefox
[03:07] <SGL> Question: Nothing happens when I do either "sudo updatedb" or "sudo apt-get install blaaaaa". Does anyone know what is wrong? (Using XUBUNTU)
[03:07] <sc0tty_> but I'd say try to do the same config that you have on the XP box that works
[03:07] <eracc> azza_008, hmmm, is this embedded video on the motherboard?
[03:07] <gnomefreak> omar: wait for flash 9
[03:07] <azza_008> yeah
[03:07] <gnomefreak> omar: the pages you cant view are most likely built in flash 8
[03:07] <sc0tty_> sexcopter8000m: from my memories of XP, you have 2 modes to share
[03:07] <omar> gnomefreak: wait? what do you mean
[03:08] <sc0tty_> active easy share or whatever it's called
[03:08] <gnomefreak> omar: there will not be a linux build for flash 8
[03:08] <eracc> azza_008, yikes. Er, I try to avoid those because they are usually cheap and slow. You may just have to live with that until you can swap hardware.
[03:08] <firenx> can someone tell me if http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ works
[03:08] <azza_008> damn
[03:08] <sexcopter8000m> sc0tty_, easy file sharing, yeah i've investigated that
[03:08] <omar> gnomefreak: but I used to use those pages with linux
[03:08] <sexcopter8000m> sc0tty_, apparently mixing home and pro can cause trouble, but they're all pro
[03:08] <LjL> firenx: not here
[03:08] <firenx> hm ok
[03:08] <azza_008> i have no money
[03:08] <chibiace> sexcopter8000m, ive had very varied results with samba, mostly i cant access anything on the network cept the windows box, using 1 computer as a ftp server was much more efficient sadly, lately i played with nfs and it was nice but was very manual and i dont know how it would be setup on windows
[03:08] <sexcopter8000m> i just wish windows had the support ubuntu has!
[03:09] <azza_008> will fedora run bette
[03:09] <firenx> LjL: forbidden?
[03:09] <gnomefreak> omar: it could be the page isnt working (you havent given me a page that gives you problems
[03:09] <LjL> firenx: no, i just can't reach port 80
[03:09] <omar> gnomefreak: I tried 2 pages
[03:09] <darkanyel> sc0tty,you mean totem-gstreamer??
[03:09] <firenx> ok.. musta done something wrong on the firewall..
[03:09] <gnomefreak> omar: care to give me them so i can see what the issue is?
[03:09] <sexcopter8000m> chibiace, ok thanks. i can access one pc fine without fiddling with anything, so probably nothing wrong on my ubuntu side
[03:09] <darkanyel> sc0tty,cos' i cant find totem thumb...
[03:10] <SGL> Can someone help me with sudo commands not working??
[03:10] <LjL> firenx: well, note that on other ports i've tried, i get a "connection refused". on port 80 it just hangs there
[03:10] <sc0tty_> darkanyel: it comes if you use easyubuntu
[03:10] <omar> gnomefreak: ok there you go www.bws.com.pe and http://www.latinka.com/
[03:10] <LjL> firenx: (until it times out of course)
[03:10] <eracc> azza_008, I recommend upgrading to a new motherboard and nVidia AGP or PCIe graphics adapter.
[03:10] <azza_008> io cant
[03:10] <eracc> azza_008, I know that may not be an option.
[03:10] <chibiace> sexcopter8000m, check permissions and workgroups, i guess.
[03:10] <fourat> how to submit a bugreport in ubuntu ?
[03:10] <gnomefreak> omar: you cant open that page at all?
[03:10] <gnomefreak> !bug
[03:10] <ubotu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu, please report it at http://bugs.ubuntu.com
[03:11] <gnomefreak> fourat: ^^^
[03:11] <azza_008> well wat can i do then
[03:11] <sexcopter8000m> chibiace, how? i've read about these permissions but don't know where to find/set them
[03:11] <bintut> hello all.. i just installed ubuntu here on my laptop but it's very slow.. :(
[03:11] <sda> I have ubuntu installed on my laptop. What do I have to do, to output the display to my external screen (ordinary lcd with vga)?
[03:11] <omar> gnomefreak: I can open but I need the smaill part in flash, but latinka I cannot open
[03:11] <chibiace> sexcopter8000m, dont ask me, i havent got samba going myself :P
[03:11] <bintut> i don't know what's causing this
[03:11] <eracc> azza_008, Hrm, give the video adapter as much shared memory as your BIOS will allow. Other than that there is not much you can do.
[03:11] <bintut> anyone have a similar experience?
[03:11] <azza_008> how do i do that
[03:12] <gnomefreak> omar: can you give me what version of flash you are using? apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree    will give you version
[03:12] <darkanyel> sc0tty,what is easyubuntu???
[03:12] <gnomefreak> !easyubuntu
[03:12] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[03:12] <gnomefreak> darkanyel: ^^^
[03:13] <eracc> azza_008, If the option is available in your BIOS then you have to reboot and get into the BIOS settings on your PC using the instructions given you by the PC manufacturer. Depends on your BIOS as to how you actually access it. I know how to do mine, not yours.
[03:13] <Dekkard> crap
[03:13] <firenx> LjL: hey could you try again? think i figured out the problem
[03:13] <azza_008> i am in the setup
[03:13] <CromagDK> !ntfs
[03:13] <LjL> firenx: still not connecting
[03:13] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[03:14] <darkanyel> thanks gnomefreak^^
[03:14] <firenx> damn
[03:14] <firenx> LjL: thought i had fixed the problem hehe
[03:14] <LjL> azza_008: i would also try putting the option   Option "SWCursor" "True"   into the mouse section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:14] <gnomefreak> omar: i open them without a problem (find out version) than make sure you are using flash. in browser address bar type about:plugins  and see if flash is there
[03:14] <azza_008> what will that do
[03:14] <ukjadoon> hey eracc
[03:14] <eracc> azza_008, you'll just have to go through the BIOS pages until you see the option for amount of RAM to give the video. It may not BE there.
[03:15] <ukjadoon> sorry i was busy breaking my fast
[03:15] <eracc> ukjadoon, yes?
[03:15] <ukjadoon> thanx a million dude
[03:15] <ukjadoon> for the help :D
[03:15] <LjL> azza_008: it will generate the mouse pointer in software rather than using your card's hardware sprite support.  supposed to be slower, but maybe it might solve your problem
[03:15] <eracc> ukjadoon, you're welcome.
[03:15] <ukjadoon> i can finally log in as sudo
[03:15] <ukjadoon> yayy
[03:15] <ukjadoon> \m/\m/
[03:15] <azza_008> ohh ok
[03:16] <LjL> azza_008: also, make sure you actually have "sis" as your video card driver in xorg.conf, rather than "vesa" or whoknowswhat
[03:16] <omar> gnomefreak: I can open but I need the smaill part in flash, but latinka I cannot open
[03:16] <omar>   Instalados: 7.0.68~ubuntu2~dapper1
[03:16] <omar>   Candidato: 7.0.68~ubuntu2~dapper1
[03:16] <omar> gnomefreak: those are the versions
[03:16] <morrye> What distro installs the GUI ubuntu?
[03:16] <voraistos> ?
[03:17] <LjL> morrye: sorry? Ubuntu *has* a GUI by default. just download the "Desktop" version
[03:17] <eracc> azza_008, what LjL said about the driver is good advice too.
[03:17] <gnomefreak> omar: check about:plugins see what it says about flash
[03:17] <morrye> LjL: Could you provide me with a link? I could only find the live cd and the server version.
[03:17] <azza_008> ok
[03:17] <LjL> morrye: the live CD is also an install cd. but ok, hold on
[03:17] <voraistos> hey guys. I have to format my new box. should i use ext3 or reiserFS/4 ?
[03:18] <Ermot> in general is linux/ubuntu supposed to be faster than windows? i did the desktop install but it feels like a java app.  frames/controls take a while to react and stuff.
[03:18] <LjL> morrye: http://ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu//6.06/ <- this is an United States mirror.  the link you want is the first on the page, assuming you have a 32-bit x86 PC
[03:18] <azza_008> do u have the commands
[03:18] <voraistos> Ermot: it should be much faster. are u using the liveCD ?
[03:18] <gnomefreak> omar: both pages opened here without a problem with flash installed (forgot to look at source)
[03:19] <voraistos> Ermot: Ooops no u say u installed...
[03:19] <Ermot> yeah i checked out the liveCD and decided to install it on a partition. that's cool it should be faster. i'll try updating drivers. was just curious if the "java-like" feel was normal
[03:19] <voraistos> Ermot: what do u call java-like ?
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> voraistos: You still need to ask that.  SOme people say installed even though they are running the livecd
[03:20] <LjL> azza_008: well, type "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" (or, for a GUI editor, uh... i think "gsudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf") to load up the xorg.conf file, then search for the "sis" string
[03:20] <voraistos> Ermot: coz java is pretty much shit ;)
[03:20] <sc0tty_> my focus is screwed again :(
[03:20] <Ermot> voraistos: i click a button and half a second later it pushes. the GUI reacts to what i did a little while ago
[03:20] <LjL> azza_008: you should see a Driver "sis" entry in your video card section
[03:20] <sc0tty_> my windows focus is set to click; but I need to click on the titlebar for the window to become active
[03:20] <voraistos> Ermot: that is NOT normal at all...
[03:21] <Ermot> cool i'll look at it later. thanks for help :)
[03:21] <LjL> morrye: there is also a non-Live, non-GUI version of the CD for installing, if you prefer that (it's called the "Alternate" CD). but the "Live" CD is the standard way of installing
[03:22] <voraistos> so anyone knows whats the best? ext3 or ReiserFS ? (the best... or at least which one u prefer to use ?)
[03:22] <sc0tty_> I use reiserfs
[03:22] <oskude> voraistos: ext3, but dont ask why ;)
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> ext3
[03:23] <azza_008> ok
[03:23] <SuperSub> does anyone know if you can map outlook pst files in evolution mail?
[03:23] <voraistos> sc0tty_ and why is that so ?
[03:23] <azza_008> it says vesa
[03:23] <Berto> hi - does anyone here have a Dell Laptop with Ubuntu?  I need to know how to setup power options.  My laptop doesn't go into suspend mode ever or anything
[03:23] <sc0tty_> I find ext3 slow to boot after a power failure or something
[03:23] <lukas_> j #linux.de
[03:23] <lukas_> args
[03:23] <LjL> voraistos: ext3 is default, is well supported (particularly in Ubuntu) and tested. reiserfs has a (rightly? wrongly? who knows) fame for not being very reliable, in certain circles. it *is* supposed to be kind of faster. up to you
[03:23] <azza_008> wat do i change it to
[03:23] <sc0tty_> I have 300GB, so it becomes noticeable
[03:23] <psylocybe> hey, how can i work with .rar files ?
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> SuperSub: You need to export them from outlook in a different format. or into Thunderbird
[03:24] <LjL> azza_008: change it to "sis" instead of "vesa".  then restart X
[03:24] <azza_008> what u mean restart x
[03:24] <Berto> psylocybe, 'unrar' is the package you want
[03:24] <sc0tty_> I kept reiserfs because that's what I used when this box was running debian headless
[03:24] <SuperSub> try prefrences power managment
[03:24] <azza_008> it wont let me save it
[03:24] <sc0tty_> when I got a screen, I installed ubuntu, but only reinstalled /
[03:24] <sc0tty_> which might be ext3 when I come to think of it
[03:25] <LjL> azza_008: i mean press ctrl+alt+backspace, after saving any file you have open in any of your programs. note that, if that doesn't work, you'll be left with a text-only console, and you'll have to open xorg.conf again from there (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and change it back to vesa
[03:25] <psylocybe> Berge, i guess
[03:25] <SuperSub> love the name
[03:25] <sc0tty_> yes my / and /opt are ext3 (ubuntu specific stuff I reinstalled)
[03:25] <SuperSub> jack sparrow
[03:25] <Berge> psylocybe: Hm? What? Me?
[03:25] <sc0tty_> my /data and /home are reiserfs
[03:26] <voraistos> sc0tty_ So would u recommend ReiserFS or Reiser4?
[03:26] <psylocybe> Berge, sorry
[03:26] <sc0tty_> reiserfs is fairly easy to install, the tools are easy to install, and it's (more or less) well supported
[03:26] <SuperSub> jack_sparrow is there a tool in ubuntu to do this?
[03:26] <psylocybe> Berto, apt?
[03:26] <LjL> azza_008: oh, also, you'll have to type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" after changing xorg.conf back -- again ONLY if it does not restart automatically
[03:26] <sc0tty_> I've never had problems with my reiserfs so far
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> SuperSub: No
[03:26] <Berge> psylocybe: No problem. You obviously don't love my name (-;
[03:27] <darkanyel> okas
[03:27] <voraistos> sc0tty_ what kind of "tools" do i get ?
[03:27] <sc0tty_> mmh mkreiserfs
[03:27] <voraistos> lol
[03:27] <azza_008> how do i open it so i can save it man
[03:27] <psylocybe> Berge, its cool :D
[03:27] <sc0tty_> yo ucan find them in synaptic iirc
[03:27] <Berto> psylocybe, what?  I did an apt-get install unrar   and it pulled down, but i have some extra sources defined too
[03:27] <sc0tty_> I find reiserfs to be geekier lol
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> SuperSub: I never found one,  Thanks again to MS..  You can work around it like I said in how you export the file and get it into thunderbird etc
[03:27] <sc0tty_> it sounds better when you talk with people
[03:28] <Berge> psylocybe: It's actually my given first name, so, well, thanks (-:
[03:28] <voraistos> sc0tty_ looool i am gonna check on synaptic what i can get
[03:28] <Jack_Sparrow> I think there are more recovery tools for ext3 should there be a problem.
[03:28] <sc0tty_> I chose it at first after with the admin at work, he said he found it so much faster for a server
[03:28] <SuperSub> i have a look around
[03:28] <sc0tty_> after *talking
[03:28] <Naked_Snake> YAY
[03:28] <psylocybe> ;)
[03:28] <omar> hello , I am back I still can't open my flash pages
[03:28] <Naked_Snake> Friggin' yay
[03:28] <javaJake> clock-applet: error while loading shared libraries: libplds4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[03:29] <javaJake> Any ideas?
[03:29] <javaJake> :'(
[03:29] <azza_008> please tell me
[03:29] <azza_008> ???
[03:29] <SuperSub> have u heard of transend tool
[03:29] <psylocybe> Berto, to use, just unrar file ?
[03:29] <SuperSub> looks like it may be capable
[03:29] <Berto> psylocybe, hmmm haven't used it for a while, i think it's unrar -x file.rar
[03:29] <Berto> psylocybe, or maybe unrar x file.rar
[03:29] <javaJake> I was messing around with mplayerplug-in to get it to work with Opera (failed) but now clock-applet crashes
[03:29] <psylocybe> Berto, 10x!
[03:29] <javaJake> It says it can't find libplds4.so
[03:29] <LjL> azza_008: "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" to open is, and alt+w to close and save.  but please mention "ljl" when you're talking to me, otherwise i'll probably miss it
[03:29] <javaJake> But I know it exists
[03:30] <javaJake> locate says it is in opera
[03:30] <javaJake> 's plugin folder
[03:30] <azza_008> ok it doesnt work
[03:30] <javaJake> And /usr/lin
[03:30] <javaJake> lib*
[03:30] <javaJake> This is the error I get:
[03:30] <javaJake> clock-applet: error while loading shared libraries: libplds4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[03:30] <azza_008> does it need " "
[03:30] <Berto> does anyone know how to force my laptop into suspend mode to see if my power options work at all?
[03:30] <Naked_Snake> Cool beans, baby, I am getting 3 Ubuntu CDs, 1 PC, 1 64 and 1 Mac
[03:30] <eracc> One question before I head out the door for work. Is there an equivalent to FreeBSD's 'fastest_cvsup' command for *buntu? That FreeBSD command looks for the fastest repositories for one.
[03:30] <LjL> azza_008: so now you're into a text-only screen? (yes it needs the quotes)
[03:30] <Jassossovinik> azza_008 - you need to omit the " "
[03:31] <azza_008> ok
[03:31] <LjL> Jassossovinik: no, not in this case i think...
[03:31] <javaJake> eracc, yes there is...
[03:31] <oskude> eracc: yup theres one... forgot the name...
[03:31] <javaJake> eracc, but I can't remember what it is... darn....
[03:31] <javaJake> LOL
[03:31] <eracc> Heh, ok, I know it exists. I'll look for it later. GTG
[03:31] <Jassossovinik> LjL - seriously? i've edited xorg.conf loadsa times and never used "" :-s
[03:32] <LjL> Jassossovinik: well, in mine i do have      Driver          "nvidia"
[03:32] <Jassossovinik> oh right - i thought you meant on the command line - heh!
[03:32] <LjL> Jassossovinik: i don't know if it'd work even without the quotes, but they're definitely there by default
[03:32] <Jassossovinik> yeah, you need it in the syntax of the file
[03:32] <azza_008> it stoill wont work
[03:32] <javaJake> Anybody know anything about clock-applet and libplds4.so???
[03:33] <LjL> azza_008: what does it do?
[03:33] <azza_008> nothing
[03:33] <javaJake> Clock-applet can't find libplds4.so
[03:33] <azza_008> ahh sorry
[03:33] <javaJake> And libplds4.so is in /usr/bin
[03:33] <LjL> azza_008: well, it'll give some error message or something i'd suppose
[03:33] <sc0tty_> voraistos: have fun :)
[03:33] <Jassossovinik> azza_008  what happens - there must ne an error or something
[03:33] <javaJake> lib*
[03:33] <azza_008> i get it
[03:33] <azza_008> i was in alt+F2 lol
[03:34] <LjL> azza_008: and the error is in alt+f1? or is it working?
[03:34] <psylocybe> Berto, "cannot open file.rar" :~
[03:34] <sc0tty_> oh :( I didn't launch irssi in the screen .. pff
[03:34] <azza_008> i get itit wont work it opens a blank page
[03:35] <mon^rch> what sre the benefits of getting the amd64 version instead of just the norm???
[03:35] <LjL> azza_008: oh well... change it back to vesa then
[03:35] <azza_008> no i mean i cant get it to SiS
[03:35] <azza_008> i cant get into it so i can save it
[03:35] <LjL> azza_008: uh? you're saying that "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" doesn't open up the file?
[03:35] <azza_008> yeah
[03:35] <LjL> azza_008: (*without* the quotes this time ;)
[03:36] <stu_> mon^rch: presmably it can take advantage of 64bit architecure, address more memory etc
[03:36] <stu_> whether you will see a performance benefit I dunno
[03:36] <mon^rch> ty stu
[03:36] <LjL> azza_008: what does it say in the status bar, "New File"?
[03:36] <stu_> there must be some benchmarks online
[03:36] <mon^rch> good point
[03:37] <mon^rch> i will try just the norm release of edgy to try it out (almost d/l, yay)
[03:37] <stu_> wtf is edgy?
[03:37] <LjL> !edgy
[03:37] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[03:37] <mon^rch> next ubuntu...
[03:38] <Beawolfe> can someone please tell me how to get a par2 file to verify in the GUI?
[03:38] <stu_> cool, got a download link handy?
[03:38] <neutron> hello
[03:39] <LjL> stu_: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/edgy/knot-3/
[03:39] <mypapit> alam_ria ubuntu
[03:39] <LjL> azza_008, you still there? is nano saying "New file" at the bottom of the screen?'
[03:40] <stu_> mon^rch: benchmarks I have seen indicate a performance gain in using 64bit
[03:40] <mon^rch> I am really happy with how fast ubuntu installs compared to what i've seen in the past
[03:40] <neutron> i got some problems, my keboard stoped working when i startedmy computer today, tried recovery mode, but when i tried to type the root password,every time i pressed a key it gave me a error, and sugested me to "setkey x" or something simmilar, is there any way of fixing this?
[03:41] <azza_008> yeah
[03:41] <konfuzed> hey there , I want to make 50 dvds with video documentaries. but i want it to player in somebodies home televeision dvd-player
[03:41] <LjL> neutron: does it work in the BIOS, or in Windows if you have it?
[03:41] <stu_> konfuzed: you're looking for DVD authoring software
[03:41] <konfuzed> where do I find the info to make that happen
[03:41] <LjL> azza_008: you sure you're typing it correctly? it's "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf", with an uppercase X and two ones
[03:41] <stu_> he wouldnt be able to get to recovery mode if the kb didnt work
[03:42] <LjL> stu_: well, true
[03:42] <konfuzed> ok so what is the easiest to work with DVD authroing software on ubuntu
[03:42] <mon^rch> what is "nano"... some kind of editor? (try vi)
[03:42] <azza_008> i got in
[03:42] <azza_008> try what vi
[03:42] <stu_> nano is a easy to use text editor
[03:42] <voraistos> konfused: maybe try to check ubuntu studio (google). i think they have a "video" section
[03:42] <LjL> mon^rch: yes, it's an editor, it's it's just a *tad* easier to use for newbies (including myself) than vi :)
[03:42] <bintut> hello all.. i just installed ubuntu here on my laptop but it's very slow.. :(
[03:42] <azza_008> im in it there is no writing
[03:42] <stu_> vi sux, use vim
[03:42] <voraistos> konfuzed: maybe try to check ubuntu studio (google). i think they have a "video" section
[03:43] <bintut> i don't know what's causing this.. anyone has a similar problem?
[03:43] <sc0tty> vim is better
[03:43] <azza_008> click new
[03:43] <sc0tty> vi is a little oldish now
[03:43] <mon^rch> vi, vim --- tomato tomAto
[03:43] <LjL> azza_008: click new?
[03:43] <azza_008> ok
[03:43] <stu_> use kate
[03:43] <stu_> pico, nano
[03:43] <stu_> all easy
[03:43] <azza_008> how it isnt a button
[03:43] <LjL> azza_008: err, it was a question... what do you mean "click new"?
[03:44] <azza_008> ohh
[03:44] <mon^rch> yeah, pico is cool
[03:44] <azza_008> i dont know
[03:44] <LjL> mon^rch: pico=nano, basically
[03:44] <azza_008> do u have a differant text editiot
[03:44] <stu_> so what have they changed in edgy
[03:44] <LjL> stu_: kate is fine (as well as gedit), until you're in a console
[03:44] <mon^rch> oh, okey-dokey
[03:44] <azza_008> ok
[03:44] <sc0tty> I use vim for everything
[03:44] <LjL> mon^rch: nano is just a rewritten and improved (sort of) version of pico
[03:44] <neutron> LjL: yeah,it works in the bios, not a keyboard error
[03:44] <LjL> mon^rch: few distros still ship pico
[03:44] <sc0tty> from writing my scripts ; to writing my documents in latex; to writing my emails in mutt :)
[03:45] <mon^rch> there is so MUCH software in linux... it's hard to pick favorites anymore
[03:45] <stu_> to be honest, someday you have to learn to use vim so it may as well be now
[03:45] <LjL> azza_008: look, what does it say if you type "ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf"?
[03:45] <johan> i have two version of ubuntu on my box using grub for db. Now i wanna get rid of the version of ubuntu that has grub on. How can i erase old ubuntu without messing grub
[03:45] <LjL> stu_: well, i've been using linux for a few years, and to be honest i never *had* to use vim, and never actually needed it
[03:45] <azza_008> do u have msn i dont have time to read thi
[03:46] <LjL> stu_: it might have powerful features, i don't doubt that... but i've never felt a big need for them
[03:46] <voraistos> :'(
[03:46] <neutron> so is there any way of fixing it, i think i cen ssh to that machine
[03:46] <LjL> mon^rch: well nano *is* a console text editor
[03:46] <azza_008> ok what do i need to do to edit the file again
[03:46] <stu_> yeah vi or vim are like always installed
[03:46] <neutron> can*
[03:46] <mon^rch> woo-hoo edgy iso d/l'd
[03:47] <LjL> azza_008: "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" - but i suppose it'll still not work, if it was not working before?
[03:47] <stu_> so if you ever find yourself on someone elses box or whatever and you know how to use vi then you dont need to mess about installing someting else
[03:47] <LjL> azza_008: no don't have msn
[03:47] <DJAdmiral> okay - by means of pure stupidity i installed easyubuntu
[03:47] <azza_008> with or without quates
[03:47] <stu_> especially on a distro that doesnt have a package manager
[03:47] <azza_008> quotes
[03:47] <LjL> azza_008: without
[03:47] <DJAdmiral> it refuses to boot - how the heck do i remove it?
[03:47] <Dekkard> can anyone tell me the name of the package that installs the default ubuntu fonts and cursor fonts?
[03:48] <stu_> does anyone use remote desktop to connect to windows boxes, Im finding rdesktop flaky
[03:48] <azza_008> got it
[03:48] <LjL> stu_: well, most distros i've used have nano included. i wouldn't use a distro that only has vi, to be honest. and if "someone else" does, well, it's their problem... they'll *know* how to use it, i'd hope
[03:48] <neutron> any ideeas?
[03:49] <LjL> neutron: honestly no
[03:49] <azza_008> how do i save it
[03:49] <LjL> azza_008: ctrl+x
[03:49] <DJAdmiral> Can anybody help me remove easyubuntu please? it's a pain
[03:49] <mon^rch> easyubuntu???
[03:49] <azza_008> done
[03:50] <azza_008> wat now
[03:50] <LjL> azza_008: so now you have "sis" or "vesa"?
[03:50] <stu_> lol, I thought ubuntu was easy
[03:50] <azza_008> SiS
[03:50] <mon^rch> lol
[03:50] <voraistos> DJadmiral: maybe you should try parted
[03:50] <LjL> azza_008: type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[03:50] <LjL> azza_008: no quotes
[03:50] <azza_008> cant i just restart the pc
[03:50] <stu_> lol
[03:50] <voraistos> DJadmiral: or gparted if you want the gnome interface
[03:50] <LjL> azza_008: uh, yeah. don't see why, though
[03:50] <stu_> I think that command will be a bit qiucker dont u
[03:50] <azza_008> ohh ok
[03:51] <stu_> unless u're really slow on a keyboard :)
[03:51] <mon^rch> lmao
[03:51] <azza_008> sudo /etc/init.d.gdm.restart
[03:51] <mon^rch> u funny stu_
[03:51] <azza_008> i was typing on the wrong keyboard
[03:51] <azza_008> lol
[03:51] <azza_008> oops
[03:51] <neutron> oh, darn
[03:51] <stu_> maybe you should have rebooted lol
[03:52] <Beawolfe> can someone tell a NOOB how I can get a par2 file to verify or work in the GUI?
[03:52] <LjL> azza_008: note that if you type "sudo /et<TAB>ini<TAB>gdm restart" it will auto-complete the filenames for you. maybe not very useful or time-saving in this specific case, but it's handy in general
[03:52] <mon^rch> edgy all burned.... yay now I go to install back in about 40 mins
[03:52] <stu_> Beawolfe: you dont like the command version ?
[03:52] <mon^rch> ta-ta
[03:52] <stu_> ciao
[03:52] <stu_> heh
[03:52] <Beawolfe> cant get that to work either
[03:53] <DJAdmiral> voraistos: what do you mean by a partitioning program?
[03:53] <azza_008> tells me to login
[03:53] <azza_008> now it is in no gui
[03:53] <LjL> azza_008: then do so, and see if the mouse is working
[03:53] <azza_008> damn
[03:53] <azza_008> gui is gone
[03:53] <LjL> azza_008: ah, you're still in a console?
[03:53] <azza_008> yeah
[03:53] <azza_008> wat do i type now
[03:53] <LjL> azza_008: well then "sis" isn't working. edit the file again, and put "vesa" back
[03:53] <azza_008> ok
[03:54] <LjL> azza_008: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:54] <azza_008> ill reset it first lol just to be safe
[03:54] <azza_008> and wat the hell is vesa
[03:54] <DJAdmiral> voraistos: why are you telling me to use a partitioning program?
[03:54] <HeavyThinker> DJAdmiral: dj, you have the problem where you installed easyubuntu, it doesnt start, and now you cant remove it, right?
[03:54] <anilomkar> I want to compile and run Java in linux please help me
[03:54] <DJAdmiral> HeavyThinker: Right on.
[03:55] <DJAdmiral> !java
[03:55] <ubotu> To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[03:55] <LjL> azza_008: VESA is a standard protocol for communicating with graphics cards, that most (all) graphics card for PC implement. this allows your system to use a card even if it doesn't have drivers *specific* to that card. however, it's slower and more limited than if you were using the specific drivers.
[03:55] <[Yatta] > quick question is there a single log file that shows who has used the su command?? no /var/log/messages
[03:55] <bin_laden> fggfhghgj
[03:55] <HeavyThinker> DjAdmiral: had the same problem here, still havent got a fix for you though :(
[03:55] <voraistos> DJAdmiral: sorry i wasnt around, but the best is not to use easyubuntu. only put shit on your system.
[03:55] <stu_> trying to get my ibm thinkpad buttons to work, it says insmod nvram - but I dont have the module - how do I get it ?
[03:55] <azza_008> ok

[03:56] <LjL> azza_008: you changed back the file, and saved it? if so, type again sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:56] <DJAdmiral> HeavyThinker, voraistos: I used easyubuntu the last time round - it worked just fine :S
[03:56] <stu_> snoop: what are you installing it with and what do you mean it wont install
[03:56] <[Yatta] > LjL: thanks.. i'll check it out
[03:56] <voraistos> DJAdmiral: just do it the normal apt way

[03:56] <Beawolfe> stu_ any help if possible..........i have tried the command line and I guess my old dos ways dont help at all...........thats why I want to try in the GUI
[03:57] <azza_008> all capitals

[03:59] <stu_> snoop: are you using apt-get ?
[03:59] <snoop> yes
[03:59] <stu_> or a gui based thing
[03:59] <snoop> apt-get
[03:59] <azza_008> LjL:what was the mouse thing

[04:00] <Beawolfe> stu_ like I said my old dos ways are keping me from using the command line....................I cant seem to get to the dir where the files are to verify with the command line.........I guess my mind is strting to go
[04:00] <DJAdmiral> voraistos: Why the heck are you telling me to use a partitioning program when I'm just having troubles with a program?
[04:01] <[Yatta] > i can't ssh into my box @ home?? somon prob kick the cat5 out ...argghhh
[04:01] <anilomkar> I am not able to play Video in linux what to do please help me
[04:01] <voraistos> DJAdmiral: the problem is that this prog srwed your system. Am I right ?
[04:01] <LjL> azza_008: well, you should put    Option "SWcursor" "True"       in /etc/X11/xorg.conf,  in the section that says Section "InputDevice" followed by Identifier "Configured Mouse"
[04:01] <LjL> azza_008: well, you should put    Option "SWcursor" "True"       in /etc/X11/xorg.conf,  in the section that says Section "InputDevice" followed by Identifier "Configured Mouse"
[04:01] <DJAdmiral> voraistos: ...
[04:01] <voraistos> screwed *
[04:01] <azza_008> ok

[04:01] <LjL> azza_008: just put that before the EndSection line
[04:01] <HeavyThinker> voraistos: nah, it jsut doesnt start and the package refuses to be apt-get removed
[04:01] <HeavyThinker> voraistos: easyubuntu, i mean
[04:01] <DJAdmiral> voraistos: You assume things - it didn't completely "screw up" my system.
[04:02] <azza_008> u mean emulate 3 buttons
[04:02] <UKMatt> there isn't a skype version for ubuntu is there?
[04:02] <DJAdmiral> voraistos: The only trouble i'm having is that it refuses to uninstall - that is all.

[04:02] <DJAdmiral> !skype
[04:02] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[04:02] <LjL> azza_008: no, i don't mean that
[04:02] <voraistos> DJAdmiral: I think there is just no solution. since i dont use easyubuntu because i know it is crappy. Ill try to make a simple .sh script so people can read DVDs and use youtube easily ;)

[04:06] <snoop> oh yeah ok
[04:06] <krazykit>
[04:06] <DJAdmiral> HeavyThinker: Thank you so much - The next time I'm in your city I'm buying you a lobster dinner.

[04:06] <HeavyThinker> DJAdmiral: cheers.
[04:06] <stu_> snoop: I may have installed libgstreamer0.10-0 first
[04:07] <krazykit> sorry, ssh'd in from  a mac... causing issues :-/
[04:07] <harisund> whoa DJAdmiral I thought you were joking. Where can I find this googolplex you are talking about?
[04:07] <LjL> azza_008: found a pastebin that works... look at here http://pastebin.ca/184031 - it should be similar to this
[04:07] <snoop> stu_ I did
[04:07] <snoop> all I need was this one
[04:07] <stu_> snoop: what was the command that you ran, which gave you the error ?
[04:07] <stu_> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[04:07] <stu_> See `config.log' for more details.
[04:07] <DJAdmiral> harisund: One sec.
[04:08] <snoop> nope

[04:08] <johan> when trying to install network printer it keeps asking for user and password how can i disable this
[04:08] <foo> How can I install a network printer via CLI with the server edition?
[04:08] <LjL> stu_: "sudo apt-get install build-essential"

[04:08] <snoop> stu_ thanks
[04:08] <elddik> hi, i'm still trying to figure out this sshd putty problem. I've experimented with TCPKeepAlive on both sides and the connection still disapears. at that point, i can no longer ping the sshserver machine from my local. however other machines on the network can connect/ping/surf to the sshserver box. any ideas
[04:08] <stu_> snoop: working now ?
[04:08] <snoop> yeah
[04:08] <snoop> ty

[04:10] <UKMatt> Hey, so does anyone know of a reason that Skype cannot connect to the internet?
[04:10] <UKMatt> (and I don't have a firewall)
[04:10] <azza_008> LjL:would i need to restart
[04:10] <stu_> UKMatt: could be a NAT issue
[04:10] <stu_> or PAT
[04:10] <UKMatt> stu_, what are those?
[04:10] <elddik> LjL http://cl1p.net offers a nice paste service
[04:10] <stu_> you have a router?
[04:10] <DJAdmiral> Arrick: yes - it's a terrible terrible program
[04:11] <ba> Can anyone help a nube?
[04:11] <jrib> !helpme
[04:11] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:11] <DJAdmiral> harisund: here you go: http://www.selenic.com/googolplex/
[04:11] <azza_008> LjL would it need to be restarted
[04:11] <LjL> azza_008: yes, ctrl+alt+backspace again
[04:11] <azza_008> ok
[04:11] <stu_> UKMatt: do you have a router? or does your pc have hte public IP address?
[04:12] <stu_> checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!  <--- anyone ?
[04:12] <cherwin> everything is a file in linux, if you want to access for instance your harddrive you look for /dev/hda, so with that in the back of your head, where does eth0 reside?
[04:12] <DJAdmiral> harisund: that should hopefully fill up your hard disk a bzillion times over =D
[04:12] <Beawolfe> stu_ any suggestions besides quit?
[04:12] <UKMatt> stu_, no router, and public IP address?  what do you mean
[04:12] <erUSUL> stu_: install xlib-dev ??
[04:12] <LjL> elddik: ok, will keep that in mind. i suppose it might just be my connection though, since i've tried a few random pastebins and i could hardly connect
[04:12] <azza_008> still does it
[04:12] <RedKrieg> I'm going to be generating packages for a small project written in python and I have no experience making packages.  there are only a few files in the trunk right now and no make files, configure files, etc.  Does anyone have experience with this that can offer some guidance?
[04:12] <stu_> cant find that package erUSUL
[04:13] <jrib> ba: what do you need help with?
[04:13] <erUSUL> UKMatt: if you have a router you need to nat (redirect) the apropiate ports to your pc
[04:13] <ba> Can anyone point me in the direction to get some dummy help for installing java?
[04:13] <azza_008> far out

[04:13] <Answer> How do I restart the sound system,  like /etc/init.d/networking restart, but for sound?

[04:13] <UKMatt> erusul, i don't have a router
[04:13] <erUSUL> stu_: the name may be different but is something similar
[04:13] <erUSUL> UKMatt: firewall ??
[04:13] <LjL> azza_008: well, then i'm at a loss, i'm sorry... all i can say is that, in any case, using VESA as your video driver is definitely *not* optimal, and you should either manage to get the correct driver working (but... i don't know why "sis" wouldn't work), or get a new card
[04:13] <elddik> ba: http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t72809.html
[04:13] <UKMatt> erusul, no
[04:13] <LjL> azza_008: note that i think you can get a decent AGP card for about 30
[04:13] <harisund> DJAdmiral: sweet...thanks

[04:17] <stu_> Beawolfe: I dunno what the syntax is supposed to be, so I cant really help
[04:17] <harisund> elddik: hmmm.....are you sure it is a SSH server issue? If you have physical access to the server, maybe you can try running tcpdump on it

[04:18] <As1> LjL: can u search for wat the thing might be
[04:18] <harisund> elddik: hmmm...doesn't quite sound like a SSh problem. Do you have physical access to the server, and a KVM perhaps?
[04:18] <As1> the SiS thing

[04:21] <tyler_> Hello room
[04:21] <snoop> This Howto is intended for those who have installed or upgraded to Hoary
[04:22] <snoop> :|
[04:22] <qos> i deleted a file on a ext3 partition. how are the chances to get it back?
[04:22] <tyler_> How does one go about testing to see if OpenGL is working?
[04:22] <Alan-D> I have question concerning the command "chgrp".  Does it change the ownership of a directory or just the access for a group to a directory?
[04:22] <omar> jrib: you mean in firefox or in the system
[04:22] <stu_> glbox or summin innit
[04:22] <elddik> harisund: thanks for trying. i guess a trip out to the farm is unavoidable
[04:22] <jrib> omar: firefox
[04:23] <stu_> glboxes?
[04:23] <sproingie> Alan-D: it changes which group owns the file or directory
[04:23] <davisdmg> helloi
[04:24] <davisdmg> i have a question
[04:24] <harisund> Alan-D: only the group that owns it. If it doesn't have group write permissions, it still doesn't help
[04:24] <Beawolfe> stu_ I tried that and it keeps coming back telling me there is no par file present even tho I am looking at it in the file browser
[04:24] <As1> LjL are you here
[04:24] <sproingie> !ask
[04:24] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:24] <Alan-D> sproingie: how do I change the access to a directory for a specific group?
[04:24] <tyler_> is there any kind of terminal command to check for opengl status?
[04:24] <omar> jrib: it's enable :(
[04:25] <sproingie> Alan-D: you mean add a group but otherwise not change the access?
[04:25] <kuja> Hi, I'm using the Dapper LiveCD using my 512MB as a persistent storage device. Space tends to get used up quickly, and I was wondering if there was a way of getting a list of files and directories directly on my pen drive and not the CD.
[04:25] <jrib> omar: ok, close all instances of firefox.  Then in a temrinal run 'firefox -safe-mode'.  Any difference?
[04:25] <sproingie> Alan-D: setfacl.  which afaik doesn't work on stock ubuntu
[04:25] <stu_> Beawolfe: what are you typing exactly?
[04:26] <ivaldi> tyler_: type glxgears in a terminal. if the animation isn't choppy, it should be working
[04:26] <erUSUL> Alan-D: chmod g+xw /path/to/dir (the dir must be owned by that group chgrp group /path/to/dir)
[04:26] <As1> might it help if i update
[04:26] <LjL> As1: yes, hm, well at a quick glance it would appear they only list drivers for the 2.4 kernel, and ubuntu uses 2.6
[04:26] <Alan-D> sproingie: no, I mean create a directory under a user name X and a group Y.  And have group Y W+R access to the directory of user X.
[04:26] <Beawolfe> stu_ par2verify /pan csi
[04:26] <erUSUL> Alan-D: or rightclick with nautilus and change permisions graphically
[04:26] <tyler_> is there a less wishy washy way to see?
[04:26] <carld> what do I install to install the kernel source for vmware configuration?
[04:26] <davisdmg> i have an ati mobility radeon 9700 in mi portatil....how can i put mi resolution in 1280x800?(Sorry mi english)

[04:26] <omar> jrib: nothing
[04:27] <stu_> checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3) (headers and libraries) not foun <---- anyone ? ive tried install all sorts of QT libs etc but still no luck
[04:27] <tyler_> its an older video card, it could just be choppy because of that
[04:27] <stu_> not sure which package it is I need exactly
[04:27] <stu_> Beawolfe: what is the name of the par2 file
[04:27] <diminthedam> hi room: is it possible to create an ISO out of my Ubuntu installation? for easy installs on other computers, later on
[04:27] <hastesaver> stu_, ugh, why are you installing apps by compiling instead of from the repos?
[04:27] <jrib> omar: don't know then.  That's really strange that it doesn't work on some sites.  Hope you figure it out
[04:27] <sproingie> Alan-D: oh that's easy, what erUSUL said.  chgrp Y dirname; chmod g+rw dirname
[04:27] <LjL> As1: well no that's probably just the framebuffer drivers, nevermind... but however, the "details" pages on the X drivers don't seem to be there
[04:27] <stu_> Beawolfe: you need to run par2verify nameoffile.par2
[04:27] <bintut> anybody can help me here..?  my gnome is very, very slow.. :)
[04:27] <bintut> :(
[04:27] <Beawolfe> stu_ csi.par2
[04:27] <LjL> As1: and i don't know what card model you have... do you?
[04:27] <omar> jrib: thnx anyways
[04:28] <sproingie> Alan-D: if you want to change all the existing files and dirs under that directory, use the -R flag to both commands
[04:28] <stu_> hastesaver: dunno, I downloaded some theme and Im following the readme
[04:28] <stu_> Beawolfe: par2verify csi.par2
[04:28] <As1> umm ill tell u in a minute
[04:28] <stu_> par2repair csi.par2 to fix it
[04:28] <LjL> stu_: you probably want to install "libqt3-mt-dev"
[04:28] <kromel> anyone ever had issues when you click on the Audio tab, it closes Winecfg?
[04:28] <qos> i deleted a file on a ext3 partition. how are the chances to get it back?
[04:28] <sproingie> Alan-D: or you can right-click the folder in nautilus and select the permissions tab
[04:29] <As1> 661/741/760/761 PCI/AGP VGA Display
[04:29] <As1> thats all it says
[04:29] <ivaldi> tyler_: type "glxinfo | grep direct" in a terminal. if it replies with "direct rendering: yes", it's working.
[04:29] <LjL> qos: almost zero. ext3 is very badly suited for recovery of deleted files.
[04:29] <davisdmg> anything have an ati?
[04:29] <qos> LjL, i didnt wipe it. simple deletion ... no chances`?
[04:29] <tyler_> does anyone know which drivers are best for Geforce2?
[04:29] <stu_> nvidia ones

[04:30] <chantra> hi guys, does anyone knows how to get the network interface tun0 to come up?
[04:30] <LjL> qos: well, what kind of file was it? was it small? you might have a chance of getting [some]  data back by doing a raw disk dump
[04:30] <stu_> ifconfig tun0 up ?
[04:30] <stu_> wtf is tun0 ?
[04:30] <chantra> stu_: nope :s
[04:30] <sproingie> Alan-D: i think all the directories beneath it have to be +x, which they probably will be, but otherwise, yes
[04:30] <Dr_willis> its for qemu i think
[04:30] <YoussefAssad> hello
[04:30] <timotej> who know where is slovenia ?
[04:30] <YoussefAssad> I was wondering if anyone here is successfully using AIGLX
[04:31] <chantra> stu_: root@edgytop:~# ifconfig tun0 up
[04:31] <chantra> tun0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[04:31] <YoussefAssad> timotej: balkans
[04:31] <sproingie> Alan-D: you'll need to use chmod g+rwx for it to be totally writable by the group
[04:31] <chantra> stu_: it is a king of network tunnel
[04:31] <erUSUL> chantra: modprobe tun
[04:31] <Alan-D> sproingie: thanks for the info!
[04:31] <As1> 661/741/760/761 PCI/AGP VGA Display
[04:31] <qos> LjL, it was huge... part of a tv recording. 2 files missing... everone 1GB. but since that accident i didnt touch the device... no write/no read actions
[04:31] <Beawolfe> stu_ tried that with the same results...............no such file
[04:31] <timotej> no slovenia in EU ;)
[04:31] <chantra> erUSUL: done
[04:31] <tyler_>          is opengl dependant on   DRI?
[04:31] <stu_> Beawolfe: are you in the same directory as the file???
[04:32] <stu_> are no KDE headers installed. This will fail <--- tried search for kde with filter of headers but not finding anything that looks usefull
[04:32] <darkanyel> hi
[04:32] <chantra> [17197267.148000]  tun: Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6

[04:32] <chantra> nope
[04:32] <darkanyel> anyoone know how can i restore the defaults fonts in ubuntu??
[04:32] <Beawolfe> stu_ I guess not.....and there in lies the problem...I cant seem to get to that dir from the command line either
[04:33] <LjL> qos: well, if it was that large, it'll have been scattered across the disk a lot. you'd have to find out where the various segments lay, which is almost impossible. also, if it was a binary file (such as a TV recording is), you don't even have a search string to search for.  note that "apt-cache search undelete" will show you three program that attempt to perform undeletion of files, but AFAIK they only really work on ext2.
[04:33] <stu_> Beawolfe: and why not
[04:33] <LjL> As1: well, those models don't even appear in the driver listings... :\
[04:33] <As1> damn
[04:33] <stu_> Beawolfe: stick with using tab to complete the names of file and folders
[04:33] <As1> ill wait for fedora
[04:33] <darkanyel> !easyubuntu
[04:33] <Fracture> how do I force the package manager to update my grub menu.lst file whenever a new kernel is installed ?
[04:33] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[04:33] <stu_> Beawolfe: and remember its case sensitive
[04:33] <chantra> erUSUL: even though I modprobed tun, there is no interface showing in ifconfig -a
[04:33] <LjL> stu_: "sudo aptitude install libkde4-dev"
[04:34] <stu_> thanks again
[04:34] <LjL> stu_: sorry, that's "sudo aptitude install kdelibs4-dev"
[04:34] <Beawolfe> stu_ very new to linux and I will admit very dumb about command line................its not like old dos commands
[04:34] <Dr_willis> Fracture,  it should be doing that anyway. or you can run that 'update-grub' command
[04:34] <stu_> ja, all I needed was the package name
[04:34] <Dr_willis> Beawolfe,   why should it be. :P its not dos.. and thats a GOOD thing.
[04:34] <Fracture> Dr_willis: its not doing it automatically.. I must have stopped it somehow. How can I make it do it automatically >?
[04:34] <stu_> Beawolfe: where is this file in your filesystem?
[04:34] <stu_> desktop ?
[04:35] <darkanyel> anyoone know how can i restore the defaults fonts in ubuntu??
[04:35] <Dr_willis> Fracture,  ive never seen or heard of anyone who made it not do that.
[04:35] <stu_> folder on your desktop?
[04:35] <Dr_willis> Fracture,  so i got no idea.
[04:35] <Fracture> Dr_willis: lol
[04:35] <Fracture> Dr_willis: no worries, thanks
[04:35] <Beawolfe> home/pan/pan which is my d/l folder
[04:35] <Dr_willis> Fracture,  unless you totally edited/altered the grub conf file by hand. It only changes a select area of that file.
[04:35] <johan> do you know a site that uses java to test if my firefox works with java
[04:36] <erUSUL> chantra: ls -l /dev/net/tun
[04:36] <Dr_willis> Fracture,  check for the lines -->  ### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
[04:36] <Dr_willis>   ## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
[04:36] <LjL> Johan: http://www.bodo.com/javame.htm
[04:36] <Beawolfe> stu_ home/pan/pan ...which is my d/l folder
[04:36] <johan> thanks
[04:36] <Fracture> Dr_willis: I run dapper day to day.  I installed edgy in s spare partition, and during the edgy installation, I didn't tell it that /dev/hdc1 was my boot partition, so during the installation process, I had to skip the 'setup boot loader' step, then manually edit /etc/fstab to configure the /boot mount, and edit grub/menu.lst manually
[04:36] <tyler_>          is opengl dependant on   DRI?
[04:36] <chantra> erUSUL: crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 200 2006-09-27 09:52 /dev/net/tun
[04:36] <kantlivelon2> hey all

[04:37] <kantlivelon2> anyone know why wpa isnt working?
[04:37] <runa> hey :) what's the edgy status? is it yet frozen? should I try it?
[04:37] <seshomaru123> but is as-px it appears as "nautilus- no desktop" , how can i bring it back?
[04:37] <stu_> Beawolfe: whats the output of pwd
[04:37] <runa> dapper is kinda old for my mobo (a f*cking via that needs 2.6.17 for dma HD access)
[04:37] <ivaldi> darkanyel: System > Preferences > Font. The first 3 should be Sans Regular, size 10, the window title font should be Sans Bold, size 10, and the last one should be Monospace Regular, size 10
[04:37] <Beawolfe> stu_ pwd?
[04:37] <LjL> !schedule
[04:37] <Dr_willis> Fracture,  only things in the ### Begin and ##end stuff gets scanned and updated.. if you put a boot item stanza befor or after those - it wont get touched
[04:37] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[04:37] <kantlivelon2> anyone know why wpa fails to work?
[04:38] <stu_> Beawolfe: yes, type pwd
[04:38] <erUSUL> chantra: i do not know how to configure tun devices go here http://bochs.sourceforge.net/doc/docbook/user/config-tuntap.html
[04:38] <seshomaru123> any of the nautilus appalications donmt work
[04:38] <chantra> erUSUL: cheers, gonna check
[04:38] <LjL> runa: look above. apparently it's not entirely frozen yet. universe is not, and the kernel neither
[04:38] <Beawolfe> stu_ home/dale

[04:39] <seshomaru123> ps ax
[04:39] <stu_> Beawolfe: cd ~/pan/pan ?
[04:39] <LjL> cd ~/mayday/mayday
[04:39] <Fracture> Dr_willis: running update-grub generates an incorrect root= line
[04:39] <Arrick> is there a way to put yahoo messenger on a ubuntu breezy box?
[04:40] <darkanyel> ivaldi,thanks
[04:40] <Fracture> Dr_willis: could it be related to me sharing the same boot partition between a dapper and a edgy install ?
[04:40] <Dr_willis> Fracture,   ive had that issue befor  - whith my mixed sata/ide system.
[04:40] <Dr_willis> Fracture,  thats possible.
[04:40] <Beawolfe> stu_ keeps saying no such file or directory
