[02:49] <Kcaj> I'm trying not to have to break out a DVD for all the graphic and video apps :(
[02:49] <Kcaj> Especially since I really only want the music section of the release
[02:49] <wsjunior> there is a program to generate those metamodes i just dont remember which on it is..
[02:50] <IdleOne> Kcaj, #ubuntustudio
[02:50] <jan__> thx....ich schau da mal
[02:50] <dgjones> Kcaj, you could try a standard ubuntu install and then add sevea's gnome-multimedia metapackage
[02:50] <sharperguy> how do i get OOo writer to stop giving me "podcast411" as an autocomplete, and give me "podcast" instead?
[02:51] <Kcaj> How large is the gnome-multimedia metapackage, a few GB, or several hundred MB?
[02:52] <dgjones> Kcaj, give me a sec, its probably 10's of Mb, just downloads various multimedia packages from the ubuntu repo's
[02:52] <savetheWorld> sharperguy: investigare the spellcheck dictionaries
[02:52] <Kcaj> Oh, that is nice then :D
[02:52] <dgjones> !seveas
[02:52] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[02:53] <sharperguy> savetheWorld, is it anything to do with spellcheck?
[02:53] <savetheWorld> yes
[02:53] <sharperguy> hmm
[02:54] <FirstTimer> sup
[02:54] <FirstTimer> how i can install something?
[02:54] <FirstTimer>  su -c /home/sean/Desktop/et-linux-2.55.x86.run
[02:54] <FirstTimer> wont work omg,
[02:54] <Kcaj> dgjones: thanks, reading the link
[02:54] <Some_Person> How do I mount a .bin without a .cue in Ubuntu?
[02:54] <dgjones> Kcaj, have a look at that link - don't know how much space it'd need to download, but this is the description of the multimedia package  This package will install a complete multimedia system for the GNOME desktop, including codecs, players and catalog programs
[02:54] <IdleOne> sharperguy, have you tried typing out the word podcast and then try using the tab completion? I believe what it does is remember the last word used
[02:55] <sharperguy> IdleOne, lots of times
[02:56] <IdleOne> sharperguy, sorry. was taking a shot
[02:56] <sharperguy> hmm
[02:56] <Some_Person> I have a .bin cd image, how can i mount/convert it without a .cue?
[02:57] <Pici> !iso | Some_Person

[02:57] <Some_Person> Pici: A .bin is not an iso.
[02:57] <zpertee> bentob0x, must be.  I was wondering same thing
[02:57] <kauer> sharperguy: There is a way! wait a sec, I'll get it for you...
[02:57] <taran> Hello everyone. I have a little problem, im not searching a complete solution but i need some pointers :) .. I have a 40gb USB disk, that im using to boot Ubuntu on .. Now, i installed it on this box with an ATI card, but the purpose of the disk is to have it with me to be able to have my installation on any box capable of booting from an USB device. The problem is that it has installed ATI drivers, and wont start X on other graphics card.
[02:58] <oranye> erde
[02:58] <Pici> Some_Person: See the list of cd image conversion tools at  http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion
[02:58] <Some_Person> Pici: ok
[02:58] <kauer> sharperguy: Go to Tools->AutoCorrect->Word Completion and you can delete word completions you don't like.
[02:59] <sharperguy> kauer, yeah i found that
[02:59] <sharperguy> kauer, but is there any way to tell it to suggest words i do want?
[02:59] <kauer> sharperguy: The I don't understand your question.
[03:00] <kauer> sharperguy: No, sadly. It just remembers the up to 500 most common words you use....
[03:00] <IdleOne> sharperguy, try hitting tab a second time it may cycle through the words
[03:00] <sharperguy> ok
[03:00] <sharperguy> IdleOne, well it doesn't suggest anything now
[03:01] <bir> how to add one more gnome instance(like ctrl+alt+f7 at ctrl+alt+f8)

[03:03] <kauer> sharperguy: I tell a lie, you CAN add entries. Use Replace and With on the Replace tab in the Tools->Autocorrect dialogue.
[03:03] <Christian85> hola gente buenos dias
[03:04] <Christian85> alguien me puede ayudar con mi server ubuntu

[03:04] <Christian85> ohh, sorry , thanks !!
[03:04] <sharperguy> kauer, well thats not the same thing though is it?
[03:04] <GNine> !boot | gnine
[03:05] <kauer> sharperguy: Once more I miss your point. What do you mean? Not the same as what?
[03:05] <sharperguy> kauer, thats autocorrect, not autocomplete
[03:06] <kauer> sharperguy: Have you tried it?
[03:06] <Esine> Hi. I'll be setting up a home theater PC using Ubuntu (Alternate CD install). I'm going to compile the newest SVN MythTV, mplayer (and ffmpeg) and my own kernel. Should I consider making dpkg versions of these or just compile and install them normally? I understand apt may be a bit confused if I won't make dpkgs out of them but it just seems quite a bit of work. So what to do?
[03:06] <genii> Are you using aspell backend?
[03:07] <OminousZ> what is the Extended System Configuration Data area?
[03:07] <berent> Problem with alsa: Whenever I change volume the sound completely stops .... I am on feisty??
[03:07] <OminousZ> is it for my BIOS or my OS's use?
[03:07] <Esine> Is it considered bad practice to install them directly from source?
[03:08] <sharperguy> kauer, ive looked at it, but i know its not what i want
[03:08] <Some_Person> How do you play a KVCD in Ubuntu?
[03:08] <kauer> sharperguy: Ifyou enter say "fred" and "ferderick", then type "fred<space>" into your doc, you will get "frederick". That is effectively autocomplete. If you type "fredd" theye will be no autocorrect/autocompelete, and you can go on to type (say) "freddy".
[03:09] <dgjones> Esine, if you compile something yourself, you can have problems with synaptic updates, wherever possible, you'd be better using the supported version that are available in the repositories
[03:09] <sharperguy> kauer, yeah but i just want to add it to the list of suggestions that come up
[03:09] <kauer> sharperguy: Read the help on autocomplete/word completion, and look at the bottom of that help page. Maybe get more enlightenment there :-)
[03:09] <Some_Person> !vcd
[03:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vcd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:09] <Esine> dgjones, well the problem is I don't want to use two years old version of mplayer or MythTV. I NEED newer ones.
[03:10] <sharperguy> kauer, I'm using metacity :P
[03:10] <Esine> I come from Gentoo background
[03:11] <BCMM> i've just messed up my xorg.conf
[03:11] <bir> where is the etho script file
[03:11] <bir> eth0*
[03:11] <OminousZ> BCMM, there should be a default
[03:11] <GNine> issue: re-installation of ubuntu via wubi not successful. no revert. system unchanged.  this caused a fatal error on windows boot.ini file.  windows unusable
[03:11] <BCMM> is there a way to regenerate the default xorg.conf?
[03:11] <IdleOne> !xorg
[03:11] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:11] <BCMM> OminousZ: where?
[03:11] <preaction> bir, /etc/network/interfaces <- if i remember correctly
[03:11] <dgjones> Esine, if it works and you're happy taking the chance you're probably ok, it might just be more difficult getting support in the channels if there's a problem with using different versions
[03:12] <OminousZ> Not sure where, I never edited it
[03:12] <bir> !eth0
[03:12] <OminousZ> so I've forgotten ;(
[03:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about eth0 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:12] <BCMM> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg asks questions and stuff, right?
[03:12] <BCMM> is there not a way to just get the same defaults which the installer chose?
[03:12] <Esine> dgjones, ok, thanks. I do know my way around Linux so it shouldn't be a problem
[03:12] <GNine> bcmm: yes
[03:12] <IdleOne> BCMM, yes just use the defaults and you should be ok
[03:13] <dgjones> Esine, good luck with it then
[03:13] <BCMM> IdleOne: if i go through that hitting enter, i'll get the same results as the installer?
[03:13] <GNine> keep in mind it is a good idea to know the exact location of your PCI devices
[03:13] <IdleOne> BCMM, pretty much yuo should
[03:13] <BCMM> no wait that isn't right, the default driver is vesa for example, and the installer gave me nv
[03:13] <BCMM> ...
[03:13] <berent> Problem with alsa: Whenever I change volume the sound completely stops .... I am on feisty??
[03:13] <berent> Problem with alsa: Whenever I change volume the sound completely stops .... I am on feisty??
[03:13] <rizhun> whats happened to SourceForge ?
[03:13] <preaction> !patience | berent
[03:13] <ubotu> berent: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[03:13] <rizhun> they getting DDoS'd or somethin?
[03:14] <preaction> !offtopic | rizhun
[03:14] <ubotu> rizhun: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:15] <kauer> sharperguy: BTW, CTL-TAB, not TAB, will cycle through the options. I find it's generally easier to keep typing until the alternative I want appears.
[03:15] <dgjones> rizhun, looks like their servers are down for some reason
[03:16] <rizhun> cheers dgjones - not just me then :)
[03:16] <blackest> can you install ubuntu to an extended partition ?
[03:16] <sharperguy> kauer, the problem was that i wanted "podcast" and it was giving me "podcast411" and "podcast" wasn't even on the list, so cycleing never did anything
[03:16] <SliM1> Jack_Sparrow: i'm running ubuntu now :)
[03:16] <GNine> extended partition = virtual drive.
[03:17] <GNine> yes
[03:17] <berent> Problem with alsa: Whenever I change volume the sound completely stops .... I am on feisty??
[03:17] <blackest> thank you GNine
[03:17] <IdleOne> !sound | berent
[03:18] <kauer> sharperguy: Go into autocorrect and delete "podcats411". Then type "podcast<space>" into your document. From that point on, you should see "podcast" as an option whenever you type "pod". If you just WANT "podcast411" as well, just don't delete it first, then you'll have both possibilities.
[03:18] <ubotu> berent: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[03:18] <bir> system says its unable to device, device fetch information failed, I am not able to get eth0
[03:18] <SliMM> Jack_Sparrow: it's great, though i have to get used to using gaim instead of y! messenger
[03:18] <bir> any idea what could be wrong?
[03:18] <bir> earlier it was working fine
[03:18] <tech_> _Nathan
[03:18] <berent> IdleOne : is there any command to restart alsa?
[03:18] <sharperguy> kauer, it dosn't work i've typed the word podcast loads of times and it doesn't suggest it
[03:19] <BCMM> IdleOne: it does't give me an option of autodetection
[03:19] <IdleOne> berent, probably but I dont know it
[03:19] <BCMM> it just asks me the questions, with my old answers as defaults
[03:19] <IdleOne> BCMM, let it autodetect
[03:19] <BCMM> i cannot work out how to rese tit
[03:19] <GNine> word of advice.. ubuntu is unforgiving is configuration is incorrect.
[03:19] <BCMM> IdleOne: how do you make it autodetect?
[03:19] <inc0> hello all
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> SliMM: It detected the usb without any problems..
[03:19] <fevel> is pidgin only for 32 bit architecture?
[03:19] <GNine> if it works .. dont fix it
[03:19] <IdleOne> BCMM, oh sorry I misread
[03:19] <GNine> lol
[03:19] <BCMM> IdleOne: i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and first thing i see it's asking me which driver
[03:20] <fevel> Im having trouble inding package for feisty 64 edition
[03:20] <inc0> can anyone tell me where is any security configuration file for Sun's jre?
[03:20] <IdleOne> BCMM, does it give you coices?
[03:20] <IdleOne> choices?
[03:20] <BCMM> IdleOne: yes
[03:20] <IdleOne> BCMM, then chose the nvidia one
[03:20] <SliM1> Jack_Sparrow: no need of typing in the acces point name :)
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> SliMM: Good...
[03:21] <IdleOne> BCMM, you said earlier you had nv
[03:21] <Pici> fevel: Pigdin isnt in the Ubuntu repositories for any Feisty architecture
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> SliMM: That page talked about feisty beat so that was fixed
[03:21] <SliM1> Jack_Sparrow: yeah :)
[03:21] <BCMM> IdleOne: but then it will ask me about EVERYTHING
[03:21] <Don|Carp> room in Spanish ?
[03:21] <BCMM> i just want the xorg that the installer put in
[03:21] <fevel> Pici, Is there an alternative way to use pidgin or is it unavailable for Ubuntu 64?
[03:21] <GNine> how to reformat entire disk from ubuntu?
[03:21] <BCMM> and which i stupidly lost
[03:22] <VSpike> I've followed the instructions for installing LAMP on Ubuntu, but when I try a php test, I get a download dialog in my browser instead of a page... what am I doing wrong?
[03:22] <Don|Carp> o.O
[03:22] <IdleOne> BCMM, after that it should give you some default answers go with those
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> SliMM: Glad to have you with us, if you have any questions, just ask.  Be patient as this place gets busy and someone that knows the answer will help
[03:22] <BCMM> IdleOne: no. it's all based on answers from last time
[03:22] <BCMM> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto claims it will just rerun the autodetection
[03:22] <dgjones> !es | Don|Carp
[03:22] <ubotu> Don|Carp: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[03:22] <BCMM> this seems not to be correct
[03:22] <Pici> fevel: You can search getdeb.net, but I'm afraid I cant help you beyond that.
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !es > Don|Carp:
[03:22] <fevel> thank you anyway Pici
[03:23] <ndo> hey, guys, i have a question, how can i copy audio cd? cuz standart (right clock on the cd and "copy to cd" option dont work with audio cd). plz. thx.
[03:23] <VSpike> fevel: if it's in gutsy you may be able to backport it with prevu
[03:23] <fevel> VSpike, im pretty noob
[03:23] <genii> sharperguy: if your language is en_GB for instance, sudo nano /usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_GB.dic    then look for pocast411and remove it, also possibly add just podcast
[03:24] <VSpike> fevel hmm okay it's not a trivial task
[03:24] <fevel> VSpike, i think I found the .deb where Pici told me
[03:24] <sharperguy> genii, thanks but never mind for now i got rid of podcast411 thats enough
[03:24] <fevel> let me check if it works and ill report back
[03:24] <VSpike> fevel: neat :)
[03:24] <VSpike> fevel: another thing to try might be klik
[03:25] <taran> anyone have a minute over for a graphics related question? :)
[03:25] <fevel> klik? ...ill check it out too
[03:25] <fevel> thanks
[03:25] <mist3> hi all.  I am having a heck of a time securing phpmyadmin on Feisty.  It almost seems like it is not reading /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
[03:26] <bir> how can i get one more gui screen
[03:26] <kauer> sharperguy: Hmmmm - do you have automatic spellchecking turned on and is "podcast" in your dictionary (or podcast411)? The autocomplete list will only accept words that are in the dictionary (I seem to recall but have not tested). Try turning it off for a while and see what happens (Tools->Options->Language settings->Writing aids)
[03:27] <sharperguy> kauer, hmm
[03:27] <VSpike> fevel: pidgin doesn't seem to be on there yet. http://klik.atekon.de/
[03:27] <OminousZ> what do I do when I'm getting a spammage amount of SQUASHFS errors?
[03:28] <kauer> kel39ru: This is a known problem; the copy in Feisty assumes "data", even when it's been told "audio" :-( No workaround except rip/write, as far as I know.
[03:29] <GNine> any hints on reinstalling windows from ubuntu or how to reformat entire hard drive?
[03:29] <blackest> Gnine where is your windows partition
[03:30] <berent> Problem with alsa: Whenever I change volume the sound completely stops .... I am on feisty??
[03:30] <sharperguy> right ok now vnc's messing up
[03:30] <b4l74z4r> i'm sometimes running into problems when transferring music to my portable mp3 player, the device hangs and i get error messages like i don't have permission to access it when i use nautilus
[03:30] <sharperguy> it keeps putting me randomly back to desktop 1
[03:30] <blackest> if its the first partition you can reinstall windows there then ubuntu will be inaccessable and you need to boot from ubuntu cd and reinstall grub on the mbr
[03:31] <GNine> blackfest: ?
[03:31] <sharperguy> b4l74z4r, what type of mp3 player is it?
[03:31] <kel39ru> kauer: okay, ty. hmm, let's see. Juicer for ripping and serpentine for burning i guess, eh? But does Juicer rip in audio format? ty.
[03:31] <skrypt> how do you remove an IRC ignore?
[03:31] <GNine> XP on first .. only got access to ubuntu. i need XP back
[03:31] <VSpike> skrypt: depends on the client
[03:31] <skrypt> XChat
[03:32] <kauer> kel39ru: Just make sure yoiu rip to a lossless format - WAV, FLAC etc.
[03:32] <skrypt> XChat-GNOME IRC Chat, actually.
[03:32] <kauer> sharperguy: Here's weird: "podcast411" appears to be in my dictionary, and I know I never put it there! Maybe there is a faulty dictionary entry happening here as well....
[03:33] <b4l74z4r> sharperguy: its a sony ericsson k810i with a 2gb memory card
[03:33] <VSpike> skrypt: I think it's /ignore <mask> UNIG
[03:33] <bir> how can i get one more gnome instance [gui]  into the ubuntu
[03:33] <kauer> sharperguy: Maybe genii had the right idea :-)
[03:33] <Jza|[Ubuntu] > GNine,  don't you have a bootable Win XP
[03:33] <sharperguy> kauer, strange, because i had loads of random things in my autocomplete list because i'd copy and pasted them
[03:34] <bir> like if i press ctrl+alt+f8 i would get new gui login screen
[03:34] <sharperguy> kauer, and podcast411 was one of them AFAIK
[03:34] <kel39ru> kauer: okay, ty 4 advice. Using Ubuntu, only, alredy for a year or even more. And first time encountered this :P Never had to copy Audio before. Alweys data. Now i c, its indeed known problem, hehe. bye. hf.
[03:34] <VSpike> skrypt: oh no, tell a lie.. it's /unignore <mask>
[03:35] <GNine> XP on primary partition not accessible .  boot.ini bad. grub only allows boot to ubuntu.  question: how to reformat hard drive.
[03:35] <kel39ru> kauer: i hope they fix it in 7.10 :)
[03:36] <blackest> ok gnine theres a couple of possibilitys  its probably easier if i talk to you direct
[03:36] <sharperguy> b4l74z4r, well sorry i don't know about that one
[03:36] <GNine> go ahead
[03:36] <sharperguy> b4l74z4r, ask again and someone else might
[03:36] <b4l74z4r> ok
[03:37] <Matic`Makovec> Hm, could anyone remind me how can I mount up .iso image without burning it?
[03:38] <OminousZ> hold on Matic

[03:38] <ubotu> Matic`Makovec  (I think thats the right bit of info from ubotu): To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[03:38] <kauer> sharperguy: Well, I grepped for podcast in all the ductionaries in the myspell directry and found nothing. But "podcast411" is definitelin whatever dictionaries OO is using, because "podcast" gets marked as misspelled, while "podcast411" doesn't! I think that's why "podcats411" gets collected and "podcast" doesn't. Add "podcast" to your dictionary and you'll see it collected and suggested as an autocompletion. Now I have a question: what
[03:38] <Matic`Makovec> Thank you dgjones
[03:38] <OminousZ> d'oh
[03:39] <OminousZ> beaten to the punch
[03:39] <dgjones> :)
[03:39] <Matic`Makovec> Heh
[03:39] <OminousZ> :P
[03:39] <OminousZ> FEEL THE FURY OF MY MASSIVE WEIGHT
[03:39] <Jza|[Ubuntu] > lool
[03:39] <sharperguy> kauer, ok, ill try that
[03:40] <sharperguy> kauer, sorry i can hardly do anything because vnc keeps putting me back to screen 1 whenever i right click somthing
[03:40] <sharperguy> kauer, i just switched through to a different computer and vnc'ed in
[03:40] <blackest> GNine there are two possibilities i can think off to get xp back working you can try to edit the menu list for grub or if that isnt working reinstall xp insert the ubuntu cd and open a terminal and type grub ...http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html
[03:42] <sharperguy> GNine, if you use the repair function of the install disk, get into a terminal and type "fixboot" it might fix the boot.ini problem and you wont have to reinstall xp or grub
[03:43] <SliMM> what's the default root password and how do i get more apps in ubuntu?
[03:43] <skrypt> how do I delete a non-empty directory?
[03:43] <sharperguy> !sudo
[03:44] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:44] <skrypt> sharperguy: is that supposed to be for me?
[03:44] <b4l74z4r> to me it appears when transferring files to an external device there is no progress info so that you don't know when the transfer is finished
[03:44] <fulhack> Hello folks. Any idea on which package provides "java-config" ?
[03:44] <debint> is there an active project to create a easy harddrake like device manager for ubuntu ?
[03:44] <sharperguy> skrypt, yes, but i cant type a pipe charachter so i couldnt send it directly to you
[03:45] <VSpike> can anyone tell me how I can purge and reinstall a package while ignoring dependancies
[03:45] <skrypt> sharperguy: that doesn't help me.
[03:45] <skrypt> skrypt@Eos:~/.Trash$ sudo rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty .wine/
[03:45] <skrypt> skrypt@Eos:~/.Trash$ ls -a
[03:45] <skrypt> .  ..  .wine
[03:45] <sharperguy> skrypt, oh sorry it wasnt for you
[03:45] <skrypt> :P lol
[03:45] <preaction> skrypt, you want rm -r
[03:45] <sharperguy> skrypt, it was for SLiMM
[03:46] <preaction> skrypt, but be careful with that one.
[03:46] <preaction> skrypt, --ignore-fail-on-non-empty just means that rmdir won't print out a message when it fails to remove a directory
[03:46] <skrypt> kk thanks
[03:47] <OminousZ> uhhh, so, guess what guys, I've made things worse.
[03:47] <preaction> skrypt, if you're absolutely sure you want to delete the directory (and don't want prompts) you can use the -f (force) switch to rm
[03:47] <skrypt> k, I got it
[03:47] <OminousZ> I rebooted in the middle of an install, which was running off a mounted portion of the hard-drive
[03:47] <GNine> if i could use the repair function of XP install disk i wouldnt be askin questions
[03:48] <OminousZ> now I can't boot from anything, and the cd no long makes it to the live mode
[03:48] <OminousZ> longer*
[03:48] <TylerJGillies> OminousZ: i know how you feel
[03:48] <OminousZ> Yeaahh
[03:48] <OminousZ> As if I couldn't screw things up more, eh?
[03:48] <TylerJGillies> OminousZ: im installing from a live cd that barely works (well works fine, but my cdrom drive is foobar)
[03:49] <OminousZ> I'm getting a lot of SQUASHFS error unable to read, sb_bread failed errors
[03:49] <OminousZ> heh
[03:49] <haren2> ok, I just installed skype, and the bugger killed my sound :( been wrestling all morning to get it to work properly and now it's gone again lol
[03:49] <OminousZ> now, I know that ubuntu works on this server, since it was on there before
[03:49] <TylerJGillies> OminousZ: installing directly from cd won't work because it can't find the files. so i'm just downloading a custom iso and kernel/initrd and installing from that
[03:49] <OminousZ> yar
[03:49] <GNine> is there any command on linux to reformat entire disk at all
[03:50] <TylerJGillies> GNine: rm -fr /
[03:50] <Dr_willis> GnarlyBob,  you can quickly totally whipe out a hard drive... if you REALLY want to do that.
[03:50] <moonlite_> TylerJGillies: that doesn't reformat.
[03:50] <TylerJGillies> moonlite_: it was a joke ;)
[03:50] <Frogzoo> OminousZ: mmm.. consider deleting the mbr
[03:50] <GNine> is that going to work from user terminal window , tyler?
[03:51] <OminousZ> How do I do that?
[03:51] <OminousZ> sounds good though, master boot record...
[03:51] <moonlite_> TylerJGillies: well it was a bad one. Spreading misinformation isn't good
[03:51] <OminousZ> I'd like to give that record a boot in the butt
[03:51] <TylerJGillies> moonlite_: sorry
[03:51] <moonlite_> np
[03:52] <OminousZ> ooh, could the MBR be the same thing as the ESCD?
[03:52] <TylerJGillies> !escd
[03:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about escd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:52] <TylerJGillies> wget -c is a wonderful thing
[03:52] <OminousZ> something about the ESCD in my bios, says it's the uh ... going by memory... extended ... something... I forget
[03:52] <OminousZ> lemme google real quick
[03:53] <SliMM> Jack_Sparrow: a little bit more help pls, how can i download extra applications for ubuntu?
[03:53] <OminousZ> Extended System Configuration Data
[03:53] <TylerJGillies> SliMM: apt-get install
[03:53] <OminousZ> there we go
[03:53] <GNine> so linux can commit suicide.. lol
[03:53] <[s0] > hello

[03:54] <thedash> how can I add entries to the 'Places' taskbar button ?
[03:54] <bir> how can i get one more xserver instance in ubuntu dapper
[03:54] <kclo4> hi everyone
[03:54] <Frogzoo> OminousZ: say the disk is /dev/sda - then from the live cd '# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=64 count=1'  - be sure to get this exact, else you could clober the partition table or worse, scrub the entire disk
[03:54] <westguy> .
[03:55] <OminousZ> Well, the problem is, I can't get to the live cd
[03:55] <OminousZ> ;)
[03:55] <GNine> !linux suicide
[03:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linux suicide - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:55] <TylerJGillies> Frogzoo: whats the difference between /dev/zero and /dev/null?
[03:55] <kclo4> i am running on a laptop is there a way to know the frequency of the cpu and to change it?
[03:55] <Frogzoo> OminousZ: well that's no fun
[03:55] <OminousZ> hrhrhr
[03:56] <OminousZ> indeed
[03:56] <TylerJGillies> OminousZ: got any floppy disks?
[03:56] <Dr_willis> kclo4,  mine has some little battery/cpu moniutor in the panel applets that shows it.
[03:56] <OminousZ> uhhhh
[03:56] <GNine> overclockin a cpu thru software .. dont think so
[03:56] <OminousZ> maybe....
[03:56] <srivatsark> /dev/zero outputs a continuous strem of zeros
[03:56] <TylerJGillies> OminousZ: make a bootdisk
[03:56] <PriceChild> TylerJGillies, yeah, null != 0
[03:57] <PriceChild> 0 is a value
[03:57] <Frogzoo> TylerJGillies: /dev/zero is reads only zeros, /dev/null reads as eof, and writes as a bit bucket
[03:57] <TylerJGillies> Frogzoo: thnx
[03:57] <kclo4> GNine: i don't want to overclock it, for laptop there economic mode or full performance
[03:57] <GNine> zero is a bad value.. null is a ghost value.. either way bad
[03:57] <OminousZ> Oh lord, time to dig out my old computer parts box
[03:57] <Frogzoo> OminousZ: yeah, in bios check you boot off cd before hdd
[03:57] <OminousZ> with my ram that has ..... 32 mB?
[03:57] <Jza|[Ubuntu] > Edoram ???? OminousZ
[03:58] <Jza|[Ubuntu] > :P
[03:58] <OminousZ> Heheh, well I can get to the main screen of the CD
[03:58] <OminousZ> so I know I'm that far ;P
[03:58] <OminousZ> Jza, what?
[03:58] <GNine> wow. frogzoo just gave me a great idea to reinstall xp
[03:58] <Jza|[Ubuntu] > <OminousZ> with my ram that has ..... 32 mB?  <-----
[03:58] <GNine> i shouldve thought of it
[03:58] <OminousZ> Oh!
[03:58] <Jza|[Ubuntu] > :)
[03:59] <OminousZ> I thought Edoram was a person
[03:59] <OminousZ> hahah @_@
[03:59] <Jza|[Ubuntu] > lool
[03:59] <TylerJGillies> i uninstalled xp today, i ritualistically reformatted with ext3 filesystem
[04:01] <OminousZ> Hrhrhr, doesn't seem to be edoram
[04:01] <OminousZ> sdram actually
[04:01] <OminousZ> ktd-sdram
[04:01] <thedash> how can I add entries to the 'Places' taskbar entry ?
[04:01] <guyvdb_> how do i set the software sources from the command line? Do i have to edit each line in /etc/apt/sources ?
[04:01] <GNine> EXT 3  is virtual drive to me. for ubuntu.
[04:01] <TylerJGillies> GNine: virtual drive?
[04:01] <GNine> partition
[04:01] <fulhack> Does anyone here know where I can get "java-config" ?
[04:01] <TylerJGillies> fulhack: "touch java-config"
[04:01] <GNine> in other words.. EXT 3 is where ubuntu is at
[04:02] <kauer> sharperguy: I have been unable to find "podcast411" in any of the multitude of dictionaries I have to hand. Because it has letters and numbers it is being treated as "special" and not getting spellchecked at all - so it always gets collected, even with autospellchecking switched on.
[04:02] <fulhack> TylerJGillies, haha. I'd like some functionality from it, too. :)
[04:02] <OminousZ> sheesh, how is it that I can have an overabundance of floppy drives, and not a single floppy disk
[04:02] <sharperguy> kauer, yeah ok
[04:03] <sharperguy> kauer, podcast411 is a podcast about podcasts btw
[04:03] <genii> OminousZ: Yes, that happens to me often since i mostly use cds now LOL
[04:03] <kauer> sharperguy: You can change this behaviour by going in to Tools->Options->Language settings->Writing aids and clicking the option the "Check words with numbers". Then "podcast411" and similar constructs) will undergo normal spellchecking.
[04:03] <TylerJGillies> fulhack: echo echo hello world>>java-config
[04:04] <kel39ru> kauer: it worked, ty :) just havent expected Ubuntu want able to copy audio cd :(
[04:04] <sharperguy> kauer, I'd prefer to leave it as it is tbh
[04:04] <kauer> sharperguy: If you want "podcast411" in your dictionary you will have to add it; then you will a) get it as a completion option (along with "podcast" and b) get a warning if you accidentally type "podcast412" one day...
[04:04] <mccune> If I only want to install a package from the Universe repository if it doesn't exist in the officially supported repository, how should I go about it?  I remember something like apt-pinning from my debian setups a few years ago...
[04:05] <erisco> I am having problems with... well I am not sure how to name it. Basically I am playing a java game in firefox... and because of that firefox is the only application that can put sound through my speakers. the only way I can overcome this is by opening, say, my music player FIRST, and then playing the java game in firefox... surely there is a better way to "free" the speakers though...
[04:05] <sharperguy> kauer, I don't want podcast411 in my dictonary
[04:05] <sharperguy> kauer, I was trying to remove it from my autocomplete list, and succeeded
[04:06] <OminousZ> Oooh I think I found the OLD COMPUTER JUNK box
[04:06] <kauer> sharperguy: Thank you for your question, by the way. I learned a lot about dictionaries and some of the less obvious interactions between options in OO today.
[04:06] <sharperguy> kauer, its just strange that "podcast" isn't showing up in my autocomplete list now because i'm trying it nearly every 3 sentances in this document
[04:06] <OminousZ> I should have a boot disk in here...
[04:06] <taran> anyone have a minute over for a graphics related question? :)
[04:06] <sharperguy> kauer, lol cool
[04:07] <kauer> sharperguy: is "podcast" in your dictionary now?
[04:07] <sharperguy> kauer, yes
[04:08] <kauer> sharperguy" What wordlength do you have set for autocompletion? Tools->Autocorrect->Word completion->Min word length
[04:09] <kauer> sharperguy: If it is 8 or more, podcast (seven letters) isn't a candidate for autocompletion.
[04:09] <sharperguy> kauer, ah that must be it
[04:09] <sharperguy> kauer, ill put it down a bit it was on 10
[04:09] <OminousZ> PAYDIRT
[04:09] <OminousZ> but these floppies have important drivers
[04:09] <OminousZ> >.< gragh
[04:09] <mosno> How can I get development tools (to compile a newer kernel then Feisty's default) onto a system with no network access? Both my ethernet and wifi don't seem to be detected by the Feisty installer (atl1 driver for ethernet, iwlwifi/mac* for wifi)?
[04:11] <kauer> sharperguy: The problem with leaving "check words with numbers" unchecked is that the next time you type it, "podcast411" it will be BACK in your autocomplete list... I would say that unless you use a LOT of letter/number combinations that you don't want checked, checking this option would be a good idea.
[04:11] <genii> mosno: If you have a free slot put a network adapter it can use in there for the time being
[04:11] <mosno> genii: it's a Santa Rosa laptop
[04:12] <shiv_j> Just installed on desktop knetworkmanager shows device as Netgear Wireless but no networks are detected... Any help?
[04:12] <mosno> genii: i'd prefer not to buy a PC Card just for this...
[04:12] <kauer> sharperguy: I use a minimum word length of 6, any shorter and you start getting too many worthless autocomplete suggestions. I suspect 10 is about right for German, but 6 is better for English.
[04:12] <kauer> sharperguy: Are we done?
[04:12] <sharperguy> kauer, wi think so :)
[04:13] <genii> mosno: If you have another network capable machine you can wire them together by laplink (parallel port network cable) and use PLIP
[04:13] <mosno> genii: it's only got USB/Firewire
[04:13] <mosno> maybe some usb cable that does serial...
[04:14] <genii> mosno: Yes, thats pretty tricky

[04:15] <mosno> genii: all i need to do is find a LiveCD with my network driver in-kernel then chroot to the Ubuntu install........ i think
[04:15] <tommax> not enter
[04:15] <SliM1> come on, how can i add or remove applications?
[04:15] <SliM1> am i not logged in as admin?
[04:15] <gordonjcp> !synaptic | SliM1
[04:15] <ubotu> SliM1: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[04:16] <mosno> genii: because if i do that, then theoretically my network interface is exported to my chrooted userland, no?
[04:16] <genii> mosno: Yes, theoretically :0

[04:26] <gordonjcp> killerpiggy: is it possibly timing out waiting for a network connection?

[04:26] <killerpiggy> ok
[04:27] <Vlet> killerpiggy: Is this when booting off the CD, or off a hard disk?

[04:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about admin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:33] <genii> killerpiggy: Hit esc at grub, e to edit the default kernel line it loads. Remove "quiet"  from the line. boot to that. You should get at least some idea what main component is taking so long
[04:34] <tekkeitserktok> hi ^^
[04:34] <m1r> shiv_j , did u restart network after editing ?
[04:34] <Hamnvik> Is it possible to set up a wireless connection between two computers?
[04:34] <shiv_j> mlr yup
[04:35] <Hamnvik> we want to be able to chat with each other in a direct wireless conection
[04:35] <m1r> shiv_j , paste me iwconfig and ifconfig in pastebin please
[04:35] <SlimeyPe1e> Hamnvik: yes. It's called an "ad hoc network". Just pick an SSID and tell both the computers to connect to it in ad-hoc mode.
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Hamnvik: I know you can if you use a router.. but direct is a good question..
[04:35] <shiv_j> mlr: I do not have internet on that desktop but let me try
[04:35] <SlimeyPe1e> Hamnvik: I'm afraid I don't know how to do it in Ubuntu specifically, but it should be possible.
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> SlimeyPe1e: Cool thanks..
[04:36] <shiv_j> mlr ifconfig did not do anything, iwconfig says no wireless extensions
[04:36] <Falstius> Hamnvik: you need to set up an "ad hoc" network .. you can find lots of resources for doing that with a search

[04:38] <drgeb> I am trying to add a netwrok printer from my windows machine to my ubuntu where the local printer is located I get the folllowing in /var/lo/cups/error_log file :
[04:38] <drgeb> UPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized
[04:38] <killerpigg1> ok so what do i need to do to see where it hangs?
[04:38] <BlueStorm> http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d183/kwiggins29059/french_k.jpg :DD
[04:38] <drgeb> any idea how to fix this ?
[04:39] <harveyd> http://arandomurl.com/stuff/Screenshot.png
[04:39] <killerpigg1> no idea
[04:39] <Wolfwalker>  I now have concerns about Ubuntu. I tried to install 7.04 on this old dell and it hung on startup. So I installed 6.06, upgraded to 6.10, worked fine.
[04:39] <harveyd> the bottom is just a grey area, the interactive shell seems to have dissappeared
[04:39] <recon> Is the alternate install CD just the regular w/o the liveCD enviro?
[04:39] <Wolfwalker>  Upgraded from there to 7.04, and it hung the same way as the live CD did.
[04:40] <brylie> when I type dpkg -L package there is pages and pages of directories. how can I view these pages one at a time?
[04:40] <drgeb>  cupsdStartBrowsing: Unable to bind broadcast socket - Permission denied.
[04:40] <drgeb> is the next message i see
[04:40] <killerpigg1> do you know how to how to fix my 5 min hang on the startup ubuntu right after the logo showa?
[04:40] <Wolfwalker>  Rebooted and used the 6.10 kernel and it worked fine.
[04:40] <recon> brylie: "dpkg -L | more"
[04:40] <Wolfwalker>  So what about the 7.04 kernel is different that will not work?
[04:40] <genii> Wolfwalker: I'm using an old Optiplex GX1 right now with Feisty.   How do I make a package be completely reinstalled as though it had never been installed before, including putting the default config files back in place?
[04:40] <derenrich> Ubuntu server edition comes with no windowing system correct? But I can install one lateR?
[04:40] <gordonjcp> killerpigg1: you need to do that
[04:41] <killerpigg1> i havent how do i do that
[04:41] <diafic> derenrich, yes
[04:41] <misty_work> I have tried removing with --purge and then installing, but I do not get the config files back
[04:41] <Wolfwalker>  Whatever kernel was used in Ubuntu 6.10 dapper
[04:41] <derenrich> diafic: thanks
[04:41] <killerpigg1> godonjcp: how to i do this
[04:41] <gordonjcp> killerpigg1: reboot, hit <ESCAPE> at the grub menu, and remove "quiet" from the boot options
[04:41] <gordonjcp> killerpigg1: then you'll see lots of boot messages when you start up
[04:41] <killerpigg1> gordonjcp: ok i will try that
[04:41] <gordonjcp> lots and lots and lots
[04:41] <killerpigg1> ok
[04:41] <gordonjcp> eventually it will stick on one
[04:42] <killerpigg1> ok
[04:42] <killerpigg1> brb
[04:42] <Falstius> Wolfwalker: when does it freeze when you boot with the feisty kernel?
[04:42] <Wolfwalker>  Yup
[04:42] <Wolfwalker>  But if I reboot and use dapper or 6.06's kernel (forget what was before dapper) it works.
[04:42] <Falstius> Wolfwalker: I mean does it display the Ubuntu logo and just sit there, or does it give an error message or just a blank screen?
[04:43] <Wolfwalker>  Says something about can't access job control
[04:44] <cbart> hello, can I ask for help with ubuntu here?
[04:44] <Artimus> cbart: Go for it
[04:44] <Falstius> Wolfwalker: can't access tty: job control turned off ?
[04:44] <sapumal> cbart: go ahead
[04:44] <misty_work> Did anyone see my question?  I need to get a package totally reinstalled including the default config files
[04:44] <cbart> so the problem is that the system freezes, its a core2duo e4400 on asus p5n-e

[04:49] <Wolfwalker>  Right, I'm at the main grub boot screen. How do I boot the fiesty kernel without quiet and splash?
[04:49] <noelferreira> hi. there's any oss similar to auto route?
[04:49] <Wolfwalker>  I know how from the live CD, but not from grub after install
[04:49] <palintheus> Wolfwalker: press 'e' to edit the line and take out all occurences of 'quiet' and 'splash'
[04:49] <Falstius> Wolfwalker: select that kernel, hit e to edit it.  delete quiet and splash, hit enter to accept the change, enter again to boot
[04:49] <BLUG-fred> Hi guys! speaking English tonight?
[04:50] <Frogzoo> Wolfwalker: hit 'e' & edit the kernel line, removing 'quiet & splash' then to boot 'b'
[04:50] <kclo4> ni shuo ingwen ma?
[04:50] <kclo4> ca parle anglais ici?
[04:50] <BLUG-fred> yingwen ;)
[04:50] <BLUG-fred> va falloir bosser le pinyin dis donc!
[04:50] <kclo4> sorry my chinese is so poor that's terrible
[04:51] <kclo4> ouais mais bon dans les fait tu l'ecris pas souvent
[04:51] <Falstius> kclo4: that is pingyin (sort of) not chinese ;)  my wife would beat you up for saying otherwise.
[04:52] <BLUG-fred> kclo4: quand tu tapes chinois, tu l'cris tous les jours
[04:52] <kclo4> Falstius: ahah
[04:52] <BLUG-fred> sorry.. back to English
[04:52] <BlackDark> hi do you know how to get a rid of the autorecory under ooffice ?
[04:52] <Kilroo> When I first went checking, my Xubuntu installation had a nice little gui that let me search for files containing specified text. It seems to have disappeared. I think this occurred when I made the mistake of having Aptitude aggressively try to fix broken packages. I prefer to do that sort of thing with a gui. I can't figure out where to get it back. Anyone have a suggestion?
[04:52] <kclo4> BLUG-fred: well if u just barely speak it?? i already have some problem with english so
[04:52] <BLUG-fred> oops.. I am just realizing I am on #ubuntu and not #Ubuntu-cn LOL
[04:53] <BLUG-fred> probably too late for me
[04:53] <kclo4> first improve english and then maybe start learning seriously chinese
[04:53] <BLUG-fred> i was thinking the channel was really crowdy tonight (we're usually 35-40)
[04:53] <kclo4> /stat
[04:53] <kclo4> hum
[04:53] <kclo4> not that
[04:54] <BLUG-fred> my bad...
[04:54] <kclo4> BLUG-fred: do you speak chinese?
[04:54] <BLUG-fred> kclo4: yes I do
[04:54] <Wolfwalker>  Okay, here we go
[04:54] <BLUG-fred> kclo4: but I live in Beijing.. so that helps
[04:54] <kclo4> BLUG-fred: your my enemy!!
[04:54] <Wolfwalker>  It says /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[04:54] <kclo4> i live on the other side!!
[04:54] <BLUG-fred> kclo4: which other side?
[04:55] <neverblue> morning
[04:55] <shearn89> neverblue: afternoon where i am...
[04:55] <Falstius> taiwan or shanghai (this so should be in offtopic)
[04:55] <kclo4> other side of the "detroit de taiwan"
[04:55] <neverblue> well, afternoon then shearn89 :P
[04:55] <shearn89> haha...
[04:55] <BLUG-fred> Falstius: hehe I was thinking the same, didn't dare to write it
[04:55] <kclo4> how do we say detroit in englis?
[04:55] <JeevesMoss> has anyone here ever done an IP or firewire conection before?
[04:56] <TBotNik_u> Morning all!
[04:56] <Wolfwalker>  Before that it says ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/a44b664b7-a340-45f2-9799-ff0d0465a880 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
[04:56] <Falstius> kclo4: crappy city
[04:56] <charlie_> hi all
[04:56] <charlie_> anyone installed vmware workstations
[04:56] <shearn89> kclo4: maybe "straights"? as in "the straight of taiwan"
[04:56] <BLUG-fred> kclo4: strangely I have a new 'neighbor' (canadian) who's coming from Taiwan
[04:56] <kclo4> is it possible to hide when people coming inside the channel or leaving?
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Wolfwalker: cant find the drive?
[04:56] <Eq|work> kclo4 : change your client settings
[04:56] <zmeiat_joro> I'm looking for a laptop to buy, and I have three options, a custom built one, some sort of toshiba satellite and some kind of hp, I don't know details about these yeat, but the custom-built one has an ATI Xpress 200; I heard ATI have sucky support for GNU/Linux?
[04:56] <TBotNik_u> All: Need to install or config sound on my box.  No current audio here with chat!
[04:56] <Wolfwalker>  You got me man. It's all greek to me.
[04:57] <kclo4> BLUG-fred: taiwan is overcrowded of canadian
[04:57] <charlie_> anyone installed vmware workstations and made networking work with windows as guest
[04:57] <JeevesMoss> jack sparrow:  ever heard of IP over Firewire?
[04:57] <kclo4> they all come to teach english
[04:57] <kclo4> they earn like 2000US dollar a month for teatching
[04:57] <BLUG-fred> kclo4: Beijing is just overcrowded..
[04:57] <dgjones> kclo4, what irc client are you using? if its xchat, just right click on the channel name and untick show join/part messages
[04:57] <kclo4> BLUG-fred:  i heard that too
[04:57] <noelferreira> hi. there's any oss similar to auto route?
[04:57] <shearn89> dgjones: can you do that in trillian?
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> JeevesMoss: No...  dosnrt mean much though, I dont have anything firewire
[04:58] <Falstius> Wolfwalker: okay, that maybe can be fixed.  You should edit fstab to replace UUID=... to point to your drives as /dev/sd?? instead of UUID, or fix the UUID.  I've read that a lot of people have problems with some disk controllers when upgrading to feisty.  You might also just stick with edgy unless you have a special need to upgrade.
[04:58] <kclo4> Falstius: which city is crappy?
[04:58] <charlie_> anyone installed vmware worsktation 6 with windows guests and made networking work
[04:58] <Wolfwalker>  What is UUID and how do I fix it?
[04:58] <zmeiat_joro> where should I check the state of linux driver suport for hardware?

[04:58] <Falstius> kclo4: detroit .. in english we usually just call it that crappy city.
[04:58] <dgjones> !uuid | Wolfwalker
[04:58] <ubotu> Wolfwalker: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[04:58] <kclo4> dgjones: no it's gaim
[04:59] <dgjones> kclo4, not sure then, i don't use it
[04:59] <Wolfwalker>  So fiesty has a problem with the computer's hard drive?
[04:59] <neverblue> zmeiat_joro, find whose writing it, check the README, maybe email the person?
[04:59] <charlie_> VMWare workstation 6 and windows guest networking
[04:59] <Mr-Snick> feisty WHAT?
[04:59] <JeevesMoss> jack sparrow:  do you know how to recompile a kernel?
[05:00] <Falstius> Wolfwalker: UUID is a way of identifying devices and filesystems uniquely.  So if you move your hardware around it will still know which is which.
[05:00] <Falstius> It is probably the HD controller and not the harddrive itself.
[05:00] <Rayen> Hello, I have installed Ubuntu 7.04, Feisty Dawn. My network does not seem to work. lspci shows my Ethernet Controller correctly. I can also see 'eth1' and 'lo' by typing 'ifconfig'. After running the command dhclient eth1 I get the following error: "socket: Address family not supported by protocol - make sure CONFIG_PACKET (Packet socket) and CONFIG_FILTER (Socket filtering are enabled in your kernel configuration!", how can I fix this?
[05:00] <kclo4> ok sorry for the offtopic
[05:00] <Wolfwalker>  So how do I fix this controller?
[05:00] <aleX-xx> Rayen: becose isnt feisty dawn..
[05:00] <aleX-xx> :)
[05:01] <BLUG-fred> 'm having a small (big in fact) issue with my Linux box: since Friday morning (didn't install anything new) I have something writing to the hard disk continuously slowing down the machine to an usable state.
[05:01] <BLUG-fred> Looking at the available apps and CPU usage gives nothing, restarting neither.
[05:01] <BLUG-fred> Gnome failsafe works fine and the HDD writing doesn't happen. Logging in and out in normal mode keeps that app using the HDD even after logging out. any clue on how to solve this?
[05:01] <neverblue> Rayen, is it using eth0 or eth1?
[05:01] <BLUG-fred> sorry too for the offtopic, I started it I think
[05:01] <Wolfwalker>  OR: After upgrading to edgy, and then to fiesty, would it be okay to go back in the bootloader and just use the 6.06 Ubuntu's kernel?
[05:01] <kclo4> so  i like to make a media center on wich i could whatch video , download via P2P, use internet to check mail, and share with other computer on my network basically windows one
[05:01] <Falstius> Wolfwalker: you can try loading your drives by /dev/ instead of UUID or switch to a different kernel
[05:02] <variant> Wolfwalker: should boot at least
[05:02] <Rayen> neverblue : I can only see eth1, so I assume that it's using eth1...
[05:02] <Wolfwalker>  So using 6.06's kernel WILL still be okay
[05:02] <thedash> can totem play rm files ?
[05:02] <Wolfwalker>  Also, will they be fixing this in the next release?
[05:02] <variant> Wolfwalker: i fyou must
[05:02] <Wolfwalker>  8.something something I think it is
[05:02] <SliM1> is there a way to recover an admin user? it seems the password isn't accepted
[05:03] <kclo4> i like to know what the best for media center and media library
[05:03] <Falstius> Wolfwalker: yeah, you can just use the older kernel (go with Edgy's if that works)
[05:03] <variant> !uuid | Wolfwalker
[05:03] <ubotu> Wolfwalker: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[05:03] <shearn89> Slim1: what are you trying to do?
[05:03] <neverblue> Rayen, i am not sure if I can help you with it, sorry
[05:03] <variant> SliM1: from a live cd is the fastes/easyest way
[05:03] <SliM1> shearn89: to log in as the admin user
[05:03] <Wolfwalker>  So, from grub bootloader main screen, how do I tell it to use /dev/ instead of UUID?
[05:03] <genii> SliM1: Hopefully you have another user allowed to sudo, you can sudo passwd <name>
[05:03] <C-{pR0F> Where can i find the Trash , it has disapeard fro the left bottom corner !?
[05:04] <variant> Wolfwalker: select the option you want to load and press "e"
[05:04] <shearn89> Slim1: You can't log in as the super user, there is no password.
[05:04] <C-{pR0F> *right bottom corner
[05:04] <variant> C-{pR0F: /home/username/.Trash iirc
[05:04] <charlie_> vmware workstation 6 and windows guest no network
[05:04] <Wolfwalker>  And what do I edit
[05:04] <SliM1> shearn89: not superuser, just admin user
[05:04] <Falstius> Wolfwalker: you'd have to do that by editing /etc/fstab  ... and I'm not sure it will work.
[05:04] <variant> charlie_: was that a question or a statement?
[05:04] <Wolfwalker>  Worth a shot anyway
[05:04] <Rayen> neverblue Ok, no problem.  Do you have any suggestions where I can ask my question?
[05:05] <charlie_> That was a question
[05:05] <neverblue> Rayen, here or #linux
[05:05] <Wolfwalker>  I really, really, REALLY like fiesty on this laptop, and want it to work on this desktop.
[05:05] <SliM1> genii: and if i don't?
[05:05] <charlie_> variant I cant manage to get networking done
[05:05] <variant> Falstius: you can do it by editing the command line in grub prompt (press e on selected entry that you want to edit and press b to boot)
[05:05] <IdleOne> !root | SliM1
[05:05] <ubotu> SliM1: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[05:05] <charlie_> variant: I cant manage to get networking done
[05:05] <C-{pR0F> variant: how can i bring it back to the screen corner ?
[05:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Wolfwalker: Did it go through the install ok?
[05:05] <shearn89> SliM1: do you mean your normal everyday user?
[05:05] <genii> SliM1: You can boot into single user mode and change it there.
[05:05] <Wolfwalker>  Yup
[05:05] <variant> C-{pR0F: no idea
[05:05] <Wolfwalker>  No problem.
[05:06] <Wolfwalker>  Just hung when it rebooted
[05:06] <C-{pR0F> ok
[05:06] <Wolfwalker>  Same as it hung when I tried to install 7.04 with the cd
[05:06] <IdleOne> C-{pR0F: right click on the bottom panel and click Add to panel
[05:06] <SliM1> IdleOne: i know how ubuntu works, i just don't know why my account with admin rights isn't working
[05:06] <cwillu> I need to put a work around into what happens when acpi powers the monitor back on, where do I do that?
[05:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Wolfwalker: Didnt mean to pop in and out but working today and well  sometimes need to look like it..
[05:06] <SliM1> genii: how do i do that?
[05:06] <Wolfwalker>  lol
[05:06] <Falstius> variant: how does that tell mount to look at devs by /dev instead of uuid?
[05:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Wolfwalker: So it hug as in locked up or loop as in error..
[05:07] <Wolfwalker>  No prob. But careful with that cussing man. W**k is a four letter word you know. :P
[05:07] <Wolfwalker>  Hung as in same UUID error stuff
[05:07] <C-{pR0F> IdleOne: thanks , the trash is back :)
[05:07] <Wolfwalker>  And then dropped to busybox
[05:07] <Falstius> Wolfwalker: with edgy?
[05:07] <Wolfwalker>  No, just with fiesty
[05:07] <Wolfwalker>  Edgy worked fine
[05:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Wolfwalker: And you got that uuid error trying to run the live cd?
[05:07] <genii> SliM1: Or to livecd, remove the hashed passwd between : in the file /etc.shadow
[05:07] <Wolfwalker>  So did........ whatever was before edgy, that 6.06 stuff.
[05:08] <Jack_Sparrow> dapper
[05:08] <genii> SliM1: /etc/shadow    rather, of the old /
[05:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Wolfwalker: Feisty has been a little finnacky for me as well
[05:08] <Wolfwalker>  With fiesty, from the live cd and after upgrade from edgy, it dropped to the busybox
[05:08] <c0mmander> quit

[05:10] <Wolfwalker>  What do I take out and what do I put in its place?

[05:11] <Wolfwalker>  I can boot from edgy's kernel already installed (it is still in the grub bootloader, as well as dapper's) and get in.
[05:11] <Wolfwalker>  Just can't boot from fiesty's
[05:11] <ferret_0567> It depends on how the core of the OS (the kernel) is configured
[05:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Wolfwalker: and grub boot if that is where it is hanging...  good point Falstius
[05:11] <ferret_0567> most times, yes
[05:11] <Puppy_> ferret_0567: I don't understand... :) did you say to me: most times, yes?
[05:12] <ferret_0567> yes
[05:12] <Puppy_> ok thanks!
[05:12] <ferret_0567> most of the time, they will work
[05:12] <iratik> How do i run a command as another user?
[05:12] <iratik> (through console)
[05:12] <IdleOne> Puppy_: look at this link bottom of page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:12] <Puppy_> ok
[05:12] <killerpiggy> can anyone help me with this 5 min lag durring startup of ubuntu
[05:12] <Agusia_> lalala
[05:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Wolfwalker: Post your fstab and your boot grub menu to the pastebin for a look see...
[05:12] <palintheus> killerpiggy: do you know whats causing it to lag?
[05:13] <IdleOne> killerpiggy: solution is to go make a cup of coffee and perhaps ask if anybody else wants any :)
[05:13] <killerpiggy> n
[05:13] <Puppy_> oh, Thanks IdleOne!
[05:13] <TBotNik_u> All: Looking for a command.  Pastebin at: http://paste.stgraber.org/2456 showing what I need as output.  Anyone know the command I need?
[05:13] <killerpiggy> no i dont know what the cause is
[05:13] <Wolfwalker>  Well........ it's a-tryin
[05:13] <BLUG-fred> 'm having a small (big in fact) issue with my Ubuntu box: since Friday morning (didn't install anything new) I have something writing to the hard disk continuously slowing down the machine to an unusable state. Looking at the available apps and CPU usage gives nothing, restarting neither.
[05:13] <BLUG-fred> Gnome failsafe works fine and the HDD writing doesn't happen. Logging in and out in normal mode keeps that app using the HDD even after logging out. How can I fix that?
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> killerpiggy: boot without quiet in the command line and see where it is hanging ...
[05:13] <IdleOne> Puppy_: no problem . remember wiki.bubuntu.com is a really good resource
[05:13] <killerpiggy> i tried that no luck
[05:13] <IdleOne> Puppy_: no problem . remember wiki.ubuntu.com is a really good resource
[05:13] <Puppy_> lol. thanks
[05:14] <palintheus> killerpiggy: you may want to, when you boot enter into grub and remove quiet from the kernel entry and it will show where it hangs
[05:14] <killerpiggy> i just press escape then delete quiet from the list then boot right?
[05:14] <TBotNik_u> All: Reason I need status cmd is I need to install or config sound on my box.  No current audio here.  I think I installed both alsa and alsu-utils, but do not know how to status them.  Can I get some help here?
[05:14] <palintheus> killerpiggy: press escape, press e to edit the line and remove quiet and then b to boot
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> killerpiggy: No luck as in you didnt see things as they loaded and when it stopped on one for a long time , or you couldnt see anything or couldnt figure out what we wanted you to do
[05:15] <Mr-Snick> ok
[05:15] <genii> killerpiggy: delete quite AND splash to see everything. then enter, enter again to continue booting with the modified entry
[05:15] <Mr-Snick> this has been gettin on my nervs
[05:15] <killerpiggy> i did what you said and it still showd the boot gui
[05:15] <monty_> i'm looking for some help installing the driver for my new wifi pcmcia card

[05:23] <ultra> so what
[05:23] <Falstius> Wolfwalker: probably ide (which is good because it is less likely to change drive numbers with different operating systems).
[05:24] <lonelywolf_> i see
[05:24] <Sunnyboi14> Does Anyone Know How To Uninstall ubuntu?
[05:24] <Wolfwalker>  No, I can't. I'm booting my GParted cd
[05:24] <predaeus> rafael__, I've got that too with Compiz, I think it is either Compiz or more likely the Nvidia drivers. Don't use Compiz for the time being.
[05:24] <neverblue> rafael__, did you do any updates recently?
[05:24] <Wolfwalker>  I luvs me my Gparted <3
[05:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Sunnyboi14: INstall anything you want right over it.. no problem
[05:24] <jrib> How can I prevent a user from being able to shutdown the computer?  I've denied him permissions to reboot and shutdown, but he can still use the gui in xfce
[05:24] <Sunnyboi14> I cant.
[05:24] <rafael__> neverblue, i dont think so, i dont recieve any update for days
[05:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Sunnyboi14: What are you trying to install
[05:24] <killerpiggy> sunnyboi14: format your hardrive
[05:24] <Sunnyboi14> Windows
[05:25] <Sunnyboi14> i cant
[05:25] <predaeus> rafael__, actually it is the Nvidia driver here because I get kernel messages before freezes.
[05:25] <Sunnyboi14> i installed ubuntu on a external drive
[05:25] <neverblue> rafael__, first off, grab your ubuntu CD, and run mem test
[05:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Sunnyboi14: Windows WILL install right over it..  Windows loves to write over linux
[05:25] <rafael__> predaeus, that is what i thought. if i run metacity the system will not freezy right ?
[05:25] <Sunnyboi14> and it messed it up
[05:25] <neverblue> rafael__, to elimate the RAM as an issue
[05:25] <ZAKhan> i have been trying to get compiz working but cannot for days now. I have a clean installation of Ubuntu and Ihave upgraded the ATI driver as well .. can someone please help me to install compiz?
[05:25] <Sunnyboi14> ubuntu messed up my external hard drive
[05:25] <Sunnyboi14> how do i get it fixed?
[05:25] <neverblue> rafael__, second, maybe Compiz is the issue
[05:25] <killerpiggy> you cant mess up hardrives from files
[05:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Sunnyboi14: Format it..
[05:25] <quaker> have u tride using the script for COMPIZ from opencompositing?
[05:25] <rafael__> neverblue, my notebook is new.. i dont have mem problem
[05:25] <puspito> hiii
[05:25] <killerpiggy> you canALWAYS format a drive
[05:25] <Sunnyboi14> how?
[05:25] <predaeus> rafael__, nah, if it still freezes then it must be something else. but here it was the compiz/nvidia combination that caused this.
[05:26] <Sunnyboi14> how do i do this when it is running ubuntu?
[05:26] <neverblue> rafael__, you will never know until you run memtest
[05:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Sunnyboi14: What os are you running right now
[05:26] <Sunnyboi14> it will make ubuntu crash
[05:26] <Skiessi> what's in the tars?
[05:26] <neverblue> rafael__, things break, its common

[05:26] <killerpiggy> wow

[05:26] <neverblue> rafael__, thats the only way you can run it
[05:26] <Sunnyboi14> i installed ubuntu
[05:26] <Sunnyboi14> on my computer
[05:26] <Sunnyboi14> and it wont dual boot
[05:26] <neverblue> Sunnyboi14, keep it to one line please
[05:26] <Sunnyboi14> so now it screwed up windows
[05:27] <killerpiggy> !enter sunnyboi14
[05:27] <Wolfwalker>  Odd, GParted's X config didn't work
[05:27] <killerpiggy> oww
[05:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Sunnyboi14: see what kyncani said.. either will work...
[05:27] <Sunnyboi14> How do i format a drive while i am running ubuntu?
[05:27] <predaeus> Sunnyboi14, does the grub boot menu show up?
[05:27] <Sunnyboi14> what do you mean?
[05:27] <rafael__> neverblue, un.. i tried to run the system with the old kernel. i had the same freezy...  some of these freezys happened like someone had touched my video adapter. couz appeared many strange colors on the screen..
[05:27] <killerpiggy> wow
[05:27] <killerpiggy> .....
[05:27] <Wolfwalker>  Sunnyboi First reformat the whole hard drive. Then reinstall Windows. Then defrag. Then reinstall Ubuntu.
[05:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Sunnyboi14: easy enough to get windows back... fixboot   from XP recovery mode... Ask in Windows channel if you need to know how to get there.
[05:28] <Wolfwalker>  Be sure to tell Ubuntu to free up some space and use it, rather than using the whole hard drive.
[05:28] <kyncani> Sunnyboi14: either format your drive from windows, or from ubuntu livecd, or from ubuntu on another computer
[05:28] <Sunnyboi14> how?
[05:28] <neverblue> rafael__, i cannot help u until you help yourself
[05:28] <Sunnyboi14> how do i free up space
[05:28] <rafael__> neverblue, ok, i got it
[05:28] <rafael__> neverblue, how long time will take from me the memtest?
[05:28] <killerpiggy> delete shit
[05:28] <quaker> sudo apt-get install gparted
[05:28] <monty_> also, it seems like ubuntu has an expo-like hotspot in the upper right corner of my screen...is there a way to turn this off?

[05:38] <predaeus> nojoints, but I don't know, there is an http option, maybe try that.
[05:39] <predaeus> blacktux, does lspci show it?

[05:40] <blacktux> yes lspci yes, i knew it, but lspci give me non infos like lshw!
[05:40] <Marlohatori> Guys im on my ubuntu and i have a windows HD plugged in and i want to be able to boot the windows HD on its own but the GRUB wont let me. Any way i can edit it?
[05:40] <Sunnyboi14> HOW DO I FORMAT THE DRIVE I AM USING UBUNTU WITH?
[05:40] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: chill.
[05:40] <Sunnyboi14> sry
[05:40] <Sunnyboi14> but how do i?
[05:40] <j85wilson> is the drive mounted?
[05:40] <predaeus> nojoints, no idea, I am not familiar with proxy settings sorry.
[05:40] <faileas> Sunnyboi14: use another os or a livecd
[05:41] <Sunnyboi14> it totally messed ub my external Hard drive which i used to install ubuntu on
[05:41] <SlimeyPe1e> Marlohatori: check out /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:41] <Marlohatori> No i need to do it to my windows HDD :(
[05:41] <Wolfwalker>  sunnyboi try fdisk or gparted. You can find them on google
[05:41] <Sunnyboi14> fdisk?
[05:41] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: what drive are you trying to format?  The external drive?
[05:41] <Wolfwalker>  You will burn an image cd from what you download. Use this image cd on reboot.
[05:41] <SlimeyPe1e> Marlohatori: eh? your Windows HD won't have grub on it
[05:41] <RGautier> Hi - I've set up a new install of Ubuntu Server and would like it to be able to send out mail on my ISP account.  I don't know anything at all about exim, and could use some help setting it up to just relay every message to my ISP's smtp server with my email address as the source (so they'll deliver it)
[05:42] <blacktux> Sunnyboi14 cfdisk too
[05:42] <Sunnyboi14> cfdisk
[05:42] <Sunnyboi14> ok
[05:42] <predaeus> Wolfwalker, why are you messing with X settings when running gparted?
[05:42] <fevel>  is there any tools that I can check mu internet speed?
[05:42] <Marlohatori> Well when i try to boot it it gives me a GRUB error
[05:43] <Sunnyboi14> when i did cfdisk
[05:43] <Sunnyboi14> it told me that it could not
[05:43] <SlimeyPe1e> Marlohatori: what error?
[05:43] <amicrawler> to big
[05:43] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: unmount the drive
[05:43] <predaeus> fevel, try http://www.google.com/search?hl=de&q=speedtest&meta=
[05:43] <Sunnyboi14> open the disk drive
[05:43] <amicrawler> 640x480
[05:43] <Marlohatori> brb i will try again and write down the error :P
[05:43] <Sunnyboi14> what will that do?
[05:43] <Wolfwalker> |predaeus:|  because the new autoconfig won't work
[05:43] <m1r> what i need to download to be able to compile package ? build-essentials ?
[05:43] <Wolfwalker>  Not on this old Dell
[05:43] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: make it so that the filesystem isn't accesssing it anymore.
[05:44] <Wolfwalker>  Old X config usually works for me
[05:44] <joe4444> i was experiencing really slow transfers with uTorrent 1.6.1 so i removed it along with wine (it needed an upgrade anyway), then i reinstalled the latest wine and uTorrent 1.7.2 ...but now i can't get torrents to open with uTorrent from a link in Firefox even though i associated .torrent files inside the uTorrent settings and i manually associated them in Nautilus ... any suggestions?
[05:44] <Sunnyboi14> u did
[05:44] <Sunnyboi14> what does that do?
[05:44] <Sunnyboi14> i did*
[05:44] <predaeus> Wolfwalker, you mean the installer for ubuntu? did you try the alternate installer cd?
[05:44] <hsatera> joe4444: why use utorrent? you should try some options like azureus, ktorrent,...
[05:45] <Wolfwalker>  Nonono, right now I'm still trying to answer the question about what partition I have Ubuntu on
[05:45] <joe4444> hsatera: b/c i hate everything else i've tried
[05:45] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: unmounting a drive makes it so that the filesystem isn't accessing the drive anymore.  If the filesystem is accessing it, then it clearly can't be formatted.
[05:45] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: you did unmount the drive?
[05:45] <Sunnyboi14> yes
[05:45] <hsatera> joe4444: what have u tried?
[05:45] <Sunnyboi14> i just did
[05:45] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: and then you tried fdisk?
[05:45] <Wolfwalker>  But I'm having to resort to FDisk
[05:45] <Sunnyboi14> ok
[05:45] <Sunnyboi14> i will
[05:45] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: or cfdisk
[05:45] <joe4444> azureus, bittorent, ktorrent, and others
[05:45] <hsatera> the speed of a torrent dependes on the number of seeders/peers
[05:45] <fevel> thank you predaeus, but is there any tools like that locally on my machine??
[05:45] <TBotNik_u> Still no response on getting me some sound setup help!
[05:46] <anandanbu> How to install gajim in Ubuntu 7.04
[05:46] <Sunnyboi14> it came up with some weird thing
[05:46] <predaeus> Wolfwalker, try "sudo fdisk -l"
[05:46] <Wolfwalker>  Okay Jack_Sparrow Windows is on 1, linux ext2 is on 2, with a logic partition for swap on 3
[05:46] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: paste it.
[05:46] <Sunnyboi14> ummm
[05:46] <Sunnyboi14> i am on a different computer
[05:46] <Sunnyboi14> i have more than one computer
[05:46] <Sunnyboi14> i am using windows
[05:46] <joe4444> hsatera: well the older versions of torrent clients are sometimes blocked by trackers and/or do not support newer protocol features (or something like that)... after upgrading and restarting the same torrent my d/l speed increased 500%+
[05:46] <j85wilson> type it out into the pastebin, then
[05:47] <xionox> irc://irc.gnome.org/#f-spot
[05:47] <Sunnyboi14> what is the pastebin?
[05:47] <joe4444> www.dpaste.com
[05:47] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: read the topic.
[05:47] <Wolfwalker>  So to use something besides UUID for boot, I use /hda2?
[05:47] <Marlohatori> OK so i unplugged my Linux HDD plugged in my windows one and i got this error
[05:47] <Marlohatori> http://pastebin.com/m15050245
[05:47] <joe4444> among others... like 10,000 others
[05:48] <micman> hello Ubuntoers!
[05:48] <hsatera> joe4444: pm
[05:48] <Wolfwalker>  I mean /dev/hda2
[05:48] <Lattyware> Anyone here have a Logitech G15 Keyboard and want to test out a script to display xChat Hightlights on it?
[05:48] <predaeus> fevel, I don't know. But I think there is not much sense in testing or retrieving information on that locally. Only for maximum possible theoretical values probably.
[05:48] <mad-sibyl> Sunnyboi14: Sunnyboi First reformat oO
[05:48] <SlimeyPe1e> Marlohatori: hrm, looks like grub somehow ended up on your windows HD. If you didn't mean that to happen, you'll need to boot a windows CD/rescue disk and use fixmbr to remove grub and install the windows boot manager
[05:49] <Sunnyboi14> Usage: fdisk [-l]  [-b SSZ]  [-u]  device
[05:49] <SlimeyPe1e> Marlohatori: however not that if your Windows HD is your main HD then you do need grub installedon it
[05:49] <Marlohatori> dang :(
[05:49] <SlimeyPe1e> *note
[05:49] <Sunnyboi14> Usage: fdisk [-l]  [-b SSZ]  [-u]  device
[05:49] <Sunnyboi14> thats the first thing
[05:49] <Sunnyboi14> then the second thing
[05:49] <Sunnyboi14> E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda  (for the first IDE disk)
[05:49] <micman> i m a beginner in ubuntu. i have recently installed feisty.now i want to upgrade it with c compiler. how should i do it?
[05:49] <Sunnyboi14>  or: fdisk /dev/sdc  (for the third SCSI disk)
[05:49] <Marlohatori> Well it was my main HDD until something went horribly horribly wrong...
[05:49] <Sunnyboi14> or: fdisk /dev/eda  (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive)
[05:49] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: use the pastebin
[05:50] <Sunnyboi14> oh
[05:50] <Sunnyboi14> sry
[05:50] <j85wilson> ok
[05:50] <fulhack> Hey guys. I have an application now working on linux, but working on vista. Is there any way to run ONLY that application over a VNC (like) connection on my linux PC?
[05:50] <Sunnyboi14> dpaste.com/16747
[05:50] <fulhack> I don't want a full desktop.
[05:50] <Rprp> hi, when i type 'glxinfo' i see this as output: http://rafb.net/p/OelVhg83.html but 'nividia-glx' is installed :( (Graphics card = Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT)
[05:50] <micman> !i m a beginner in ubuntu. i have recently installed feisty.now i want to upgrade it with c compiler. how should i do it?
[05:51] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: ok, do you know what disk you want to format?  ie, which device under /dev it is?
[05:51] <Marlohatori> Cant i just remove the GRUB from my windows HDD manually?
[05:51] <Sunnyboi14> no
[05:51] <Wolfwalker>  When Jack_Sparrow comes back from looking busy while at work, let me know willya?
[05:51] <Sunnyboi14> i unmounted it anyway
[05:51] <Sunnyboi14> remember?
[05:51] <dev_eddie> micman use sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:51] <Wolfwalker>  lol
[05:51] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: what command did you issue to unmount it?
[05:51] <SlimeyPe1e> Marlohatori: using fixmbr is the only way AFAIK
[05:51] <predaeus> Rprp, check if "nvidia" is set in the driver section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if not then the nvidia driver is not being loaded.
[05:52] <Sunnyboi14> i just right clicked on it and said unmount
[05:52] <Sunnyboi14> and i clicked on i
[05:52] <Sunnyboi14> t
[05:52] <fevel> predaeus, actually its cause I want to test rom the gateway, it is a very large lan (several floors) and the gateway server is the cleanest route to the internet...I would have to use a command line browser
[05:52] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: Can you paste(bin) the contents of the file /etc/fstab, and also the output of the command mount?
[05:53] <Rprp> predaeus: http://rafb.net/p/mJGRgz96.html << Thats my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but there is nothing wrong ?
[05:53] <Sunnyboi14> ??
[05:53] <predaeus> fevel, ah ok, probably try an ftp download from console to get the download rate for a starter.
[05:53] <rafael__> neverblue: my computer got a hightemperature.. had freezy in 30% of memtest. but i think that happened because its a notebook, possible it would happen
[05:53] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: open a terminal, and type 'cat /etc/fstab', and put the contents of that into pastebin.
[05:53] <rafael__> neverblue: just to make sure. im on windows now. i want know if my computer will freezy here too.. windows vista.
[05:53] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: then type 'mount', and put that into the pastebin as well.
[05:54] <predaeus> fevel, but this is all bad because rates are most often limited by the servers you start downloads from or upload files to so maybe not a good solution.
[05:54] <rafael__> neve
[05:55] <predaeus> Rprp, you probably need the nvidia-glx-new package...lemme check
[05:55] <fevel> I see
[05:55] <Sunnyboi14> how do i change the partitions?
[05:55] <Rprp> predaeus: hmm k
[05:55] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: what?
[05:55] <Sunnyboi14> how do i change partitons?
[05:55] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: (c)fdisk will allow you to repartition the drive too.
[05:56] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: you have to figure out which /dev/* device the drive you are trying to format is.  The best way to do this is probably to look at /etc/fstab and the output of the mount command.
[05:57] <Rafae--> neverblue, so.. maybe u are right. that is my memory
[05:57] <TBotNik_u> Repeating: Ran "lspci" and "lsmod" but don't see sound chipset in either.  What cmd do I run?
[05:57] <Rafae--> neverblue, im on my dad computer
[05:57] <predaeus> Rprp, yes I think you need to install the nvidia-glx-new package instead of the nvidia-glx one. To get newer drivers.
[05:57] <monty_> i'm having problems with compiling, can anyone help?
[05:57] <Rafae--> neverblue, :(
[05:57] <Sunnyboi14> how do i change the partitions on a HD?
[05:57] <Rprp> predaeus: oke, thnx, i will try
[05:58] <Sunnyboi14> how do i change partitions on my Hard Drive?
[05:58] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: with fdisk or cfdisk, I already told you!
[05:58] <Rafae--> neverblue, or .. after the memtest my computer get a hightemperature.. maybe the memory is not broken
[05:58] <Rafae--> neverblue, what do u think ?
[05:58] <Sunnyboi14> after i type fdisk
[05:58] <Sunnyboi14> then what do i do?
[05:58] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: try help
[05:58] <kyncani> Sunnyboi14: boot ubuntu's livecd, there may be a tool in a system menu somewhere that can partition your hard drive the way you want
[05:59] <kitsuneofdoom> My USB mouse stopped being detected! I'm on a laptop, the touchpad doesn't work too well, Ubuntu 7.04 32 Bit.
[05:59] <Sunnyboi14> ok
[05:59] <Sunnyboi14> thanks
[05:59] <Sunnyboi14> ill try tha
[05:59] <Sunnyboi14> t
[05:59] <Rafae--> neverblue, i will turn on my external cooler than. must work
[06:00] <Rafae--> neverblue, i know just this way
[06:00] <Rafae--> to solv it
[06:00] <TBotNik_u> All: Trying to find sound card info on box. Ran "lspci" and "lsmod" but don't see sound chipset in either.  What cmd do I run?
[06:00] <predaeus> kitsuneofdoom, is it reported with lsusb?
[06:01] <kitsuneofdoom> predaeus: lsusb hangs
[06:01] <Sunnyboi14> the menu had nothing
[06:01] <Sunnyboi14> i typed fdisk
[06:01] <predaeus> TBotNik_u, try running alsamixer and look at the top left corner, quit it with ESC. Not sure if it will show though.
[06:01] <Sunnyboi14> what do i do now?
[06:01] <kyncani> Sunnyboi14: forget about fdisk
[06:01] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: Did you find out which device file the drive is?
[06:01] <Sunnyboi14> ??
[06:01] <predaeus> kitsuneofdoom, hm that doesn't sound good. No idea, keep asking around here.
[06:02] <predaeus> kitsuneofdoom, what Ubuntu version have you got?
[06:02] <bstock> i have a problem when running gnome-cups-add. i tried running it from console and i don't get any kind of error output
[06:02] <kyncani> Sunnyboi14: if you have ubuntu on your other pc, you can install gparted and partition your external hard drive with it
[06:02] <kitsuneofdoom> 7.04
[06:02] <Sunnyboi14> where do i download gparted?
[06:02] <kitsuneofdoom> predaeus: 7.04
[06:02] <kyncani> Sunnyboi14: from the Add/Remove package manager
[06:03] <Sunnyboi14> ok...
[06:03] <sinkorswim> can anyone tell me where the cgi-bin directory is located in 7.04 please?
[06:03] <predaeus> kitsuneofdoom, hm yes, then just keep asking here, maybe someone else is familiar with usb device detection.
[06:03] <nojoints> Is it possible to use kopete in gnome?
[06:03] <Jacob> sinkorswim: are you running a webserver? there is no cgi-bin, just mark the script as executable
[06:03] <predaeus> sinkorswim, type "locate cgi-bin"
[06:03] <Cyrax> anyone know a good program to run embedded media like .wmv .avi . divx .qt etc... in firefox , cant get some plugins installed
[06:03] <Jacob> nojoints: yep, it might look a little weird though
[06:04] <Jacob> nojoints: just install it from Apps > Add/Remove
[06:04] <nojoints> Jacob; okok thanks
[06:04] <TheGateKeeper> anyone know where the clock / timezone config files are?
[06:04] <TBotNik_u> predaeus: What is alsamixer cli cmd?
[06:04] <paul_____> Hi I'm having a little problem getting ubuntu server connected to my network
[06:04] <predaeus> TBotNik_u, yes just "alsamixer"
[06:05] <Sunnyboi14> ok
[06:05] <Sunnyboi14> how do i run gparted?
[06:05] <chikita> hello, after installing switchfox and applying its spanish language pack, switchfox opens renamed as firefox...
[06:05] <Jacob> Sunnyboi14: System > Admin > Gparted (Partition Editor maybe)
[06:05] <sinkorswim> Jacob, I installed apache2 using instructionson the ubuntu site, my site config file has the line "ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/" but usr/lib/cgi-bin doesnt exist
[06:05] <kyncani> Sunnyboi14: it should be called partition something and be located in a system menu somewhere
[06:06] <Jacob> sinkorswim: you may remove the second cgi-bin part then, it won't harm anything
[06:06] <bstock> does anyone else have the problem with gnome-cups-add hanging and using 100% of 1 cpu on 7.04?
[06:06] <Cyrax> anyone know a good program or codecpack for firefox to run all embedded media ?
[06:06] <sinkorswim> Jacob, thanks, but then my cgi scripts don't run
[06:06] <Jacob> bstock: it does that regularly for a few moments when adding a printer
[06:06] <predaeus> TBotNik_u, see "man alsamixer" for details its just the CLI volume control.
[06:06] <bstock> Jacob: yeah i've let this one go for an hour
[06:06] <Jacob> bstock: ah. never had it do that
[06:07] <kitsuneofdoom> Okay, I've got a number of issues that have cropped up when I installed 7.04. Now, my USB mouse isn't detected and lsusb hangs.
[06:07] <Wolfwalker>  Just one more question: Are they going to fix this fiesty UUID hard drive controller glitch for the next release?
[06:07] <bstock> no debug output when running it from console either
[06:07] <Jacob> sinkorswim: make sure the permissions are +x for everything. "chmod +x script.cgi" in a terminal, replace script.cgi with your script
[06:07] <bstock> when i run top it shows cupsd is using 100% even if i kill the gnome-cups-add process
[06:07] <rafael__> neverblue, external cooler on.. lets see what happen
[06:07] <sinkorswim> Jacob, I'll give it a try, thanks
[06:07] <predaeus> Wolfwalker, it is not very likely to get answers from devs here. Probably look at launchpad bug entries for such info.
[06:08] <Wolfwalker>  Say what?
[06:08] <Wolfwalker>  Where's that?
[06:08] <Wolfwalker>  !launchpad
[06:08] <ubotu> launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's Bounty and Bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/
[06:08] <_imran_> can anyone tell me how to scan and save it ontothe computer?
[06:08] <Sunnyboi14> now how do i chnge the partition size to have ubuntu take up barely anything?
[06:08] <nojoints> Any able to help me remove an old installation of flashplayer? It tries to download when I'm installing something by the terminal, but it wont work and I need to remove it. It stops at OK .....
[06:08] <predaeus> _imran_, scan and save what?
[06:09] <chikita> hello, after installing switchfox and applying its spanish language pack, switchfox opens renamed as firefox, what can i do to fix this?
[06:09] <j85wilson> Sunnyboi14: perhaps gparted has a help menu?
[06:09] <Sunnyboi14> ok...
[06:09] <_imran_> if i scan something using a scanner (pages/documents etc)
[06:09] <Sunnyboi14> it dows not have a help menu
[06:10] <predaeus> _imran_, ah, I think you can scan with gimp.
[06:10] <j85wilson> perhaps it has a webpage?
[06:10] <Sunnyboi14> weird. i had a dream about gparted a long time before i even got linux
[06:10] <Sunnyboi14> freaky
[06:10] <Sunnyboi14> umm
[06:10] <Sunnyboi14> ok
[06:10] <Jacob> nojoints: did you try: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
[06:10] <kyncani> Sunnyboi14: resize the ubuntu partition, then move it, then resize your windows partition
[06:11] <hsatera> how do i install xvid with gstreamer?
[06:11] <nojoints> Jacob; I got a installation done that works, but i get an dpkg error in terminal from an old that didn't work
[06:11] <nojoints> Jacob; I get this E: flashplugin-nonfree: subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)
[06:11] <Jacob> nojoints: eww, i hate that error, hmm
[06:12] <Sunnyboi14> i need ubuntu to take up barely any space, and i need my hd to go back to the way it was when i bought it
[06:12] <omegaweopon> Anyone availible with vmware knowlege?
[06:12] <faileas>  omegaweopon: a little, or try vware
[06:12] <faileas> #vmware ;)
[06:12] <omegaweopon> faileas: Why do you always have to save me bum?
[06:13] <faileas> cause i'm awesome like that ;)
[06:13] <Sunnyboi14> does anyone know how to change a partition?
[06:13] <omegaweopon> faileas: At least this isn't as simple as an apt-get install  like last time hehe
[06:13] <Jacob> Sunnyboi14: you cannot shrink ubuntu once it is installed. you'll have to clear the drive and reinstall; it is a limitation of the ext3 filesystem
[06:13] <ZAKhan> i have installed the NTFS support form synaptic but i cannot create folders on the drive, can someone help please
[06:13] <nojoints> Jacob; know any way to remove it?
[06:14] <Jacob> nojoints: you could try removing the file manually, though i wouldn't reccommend it
[06:14] <mx-zoom> ZAKhan: the ntfsprogs driver does not support ntfs write
[06:14] <faileas> omegaweopon: i thought it was an update script. installation is not my forte though, i run it in windows
[06:14] <faileas> !vware
[06:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vware - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[06:14] <cwillu> ZAKhan: look at ntfs-3g

[06:14] <nojoints> Jacob; but don't know where it's at
[06:15] <kyncani> Sunnyboi14: well, if ext3 cannot be resized, you'll have to delete all the ubuntu partitions then resize your windows partition to take up the entire disk space

[06:15] <chikita> hello, after installing switchfox and applying its spanish language pack, switchfox opens renamed as firefox, what can i do to fix this?
[06:15] <moonlite_> jacob: GNU Parted claims it can resize ext3 (http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/features.shtml)
[06:15] <predaeus> TBotNik_u, hm no idea, probably your card is not detected correctly if it does not show up elsewhere. it should be in lspci I think.
[06:16] <mx-zoom> chikita: close alll your previous firefox sessions... and then try opening the other versio againm
[06:16] <cwillu> how do I fix my screen unblanking?
[06:16] <nojoints> Jacob; it's not the working I want to dissapear it's the one that didn't work to install
[06:16] <Paddy_EIRE> does running kde apps in gnome really impact performance much?
[06:16] <Jacob> moonlite_: hmm... i know you can grow an ext3, but idk about shinking; let me get gparted myself
[06:17] <cwillu> Paddy_EIRE: not really, unless you're already on the minimum specs
[06:17] <Jacob> nojoints: ah, so a ghost .deb. huh...
[06:17] <intra> hi
[06:17] <Paddy_EIRE> ...and is there a way to make kde apps more integrated
[06:17] <nojoints> Jacob; yea
[06:17] <kyncani> Paddy_EIRE: yes, use kde
[06:17] <kyncani> !=
[06:17] <cwillu> Paddy_EIRE: use kde?  :p
[06:17] <kyncani> :)
[06:17] <Paddy_EIRE> with gnome I mean
[06:17] <cwillu> aka, not really
[06:17] <predaeus> Paddy_EIRE, depends on your computer. Starting the first kde application will usually take a bit because it will have to load all needed shared kde libs and no other app or KDE has done that before.
[06:17] <kyncani> Paddy_EIRE: nope then
[06:17] <TBotNik_u> predaeus: I'm trying to reload.  Following howto at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto, but it is for Intel chipset.  I have SIS chipset, but don't know which.  trying to find cli cmd to see chipset, for alsa-site download.  What is cmd?
[06:17] <Jacob> nojoints: you can force remove it I believe, let me look up the syntax
[06:18] <cwillu> Paddy_EIRE:  they're not gtk, so they can't be by definition
[06:18] <predaeus> TBotNik_u, did you try lspci?
[06:18] <CrAsH_x64> ##java
[06:18] <stroyan> Sunnyboi14: You might want to read through  http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted
[06:18] <cwillu> TBotNik_u: terminal
[06:18] <dhanjeet> hello,has anyone try asterisk under ubuntu ?
[06:18] <CrAsH_x64> #java
[06:18] <Paddy_EIRE> predaeus: cwillu thanks guys
[06:18] <Jacob> moonlite_: ah, so you can shrink an ext3. didn't know that.
[06:18] <kyncani> Paddy_EIRE: kde is great, you should try it and maybe switch to it later :)
[06:19] <cwillu> kyncani: I'm on my way to switching away from it :p
[06:19] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: I have thought it was a little to much on the eyes
[06:19] <nojoints> Jacob; okok
[06:19] <ZAKhan> cwiiis, mx-zoom : installed ntfs-3g , enabled it and now gives and error "Unable to mount the volume 'WD1TB'."
[06:19] <kyncani> cwillu: :) always switching back and forth every two years :)
[06:19] <moonlite_> jacob: the same goes for Sunnyboi14 now :/
[06:19] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: dont like the windoze uninspired start menu aswell
[06:19] <jerrcs> hi - i run mac osx and ubuntu linux on my mac mini. I'm using EFI and I need it to boot linux by default, I'm at the efi shell, what should i do?
[06:20] <cwillu> ZAKhan: did you unmount the original?  also, if you didn't shut windows down cleanly, you'll have to run scandisk from it, and then do a proper shutdown first
[06:20] <moonlite_> Sunnyboi14: did you read that? You can shrink an ext3. gparted should do it i think
[06:20] <kyncani> Paddy_EIRE: yep, but it's much more integrated than gnome :)
[06:20] <Rprp> predaeus: that 'nvidia-glx-new' package didnt fix it :<
[06:20] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: maybe If I could get something like the opensuse or linux mint menu
[06:20] <cwillu> god, please stop using the word windoze :p
[06:21] <Jacob> nojoints: try apt-get --force-yes remove flashplugin-nonfree (--force-yes can be a little dangerous however, so use with caution)
[06:21] <ZAKhan> cwillu, is scandisk part of ubuntu?
[06:21] <cwillu> ZAKhan: no, its a part of windows
[06:21] <TBotNik_u> predaeus & cwillu: Tried lspci, but no sound chipset info.  cwillu, what you mean terminal?
[06:21] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: also kwifi manager says my wireless is out of range and wont connect
[06:21] <intra> I'm having trouble booting Ubuntu to get it installed on my comp
[06:21] <kyncani> cwillu: stop using this word !
[06:21] <cwillu> TBotNik_u: thought you were looking for it :p
[06:21] <kyncani> :D
[06:21] <intra> can anyone help?
[06:21] <cwillu> with?
[06:22] <ZAKhan> cwillu, so i have to connect it on a windows pc run scandisk and then try again with ubuntu?
[06:22] <Paddy_EIRE> !anyone | intra
[06:22] <ubotu> intra: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:22] <intra> my Ubuntu install freezes
[06:22] <kyncani> Paddy_EIRE: ha well, it's a matter of taste really :)
[06:22] <nojoints> Jacob; well it removed the problem, now I need the tarball again.. <.<
[06:22] <intra> Does any have experience with fixing and installation that freezes?
[06:22] <jerrcs> hmm.. im wondering if my efi shell even works, i googled the command list and none of the commands work
[06:22] <cwillu> ZAKhan: probably, assuming that you don't have it mounted somewhere else right now
[06:22] <Jacob> nojoints: the flash tarball? do you prefer v9 update beta 3 or just v9?
[06:23] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: it is, I would like to beable to go online in kde then I supppose I could give it a really practical test...kde4 has grabbed my attention
[06:23] <nojoints> v9 is less buggy then beta 3 right?
[06:23] <jerrcs> anyone wanna take a bite? :S
[06:23] <intra> Or getting Ubuntu to not freeze when it's booting to the LiveCd
[06:23] <Jacob> well, the beta 3 fixes some bugs from v9 and does some neat gtk stuff
[06:23] <ZAKhan> cwillu, no i have it on this ubuntu PC only but i can connect it to my xp pc and try that .. brb
[06:23] <hsatera> besides mplayer, any GOOD player wich runs subtitles?
[06:23] <Jacob> nojoints: i'll get you both links anyway
[06:23] <Paddy_EIRE> hsatera: vlc
[06:23] <kyncani> Paddy_EIRE: kde is going the strigi way i think and ubuntu the tracker way (some vague memory)
[06:24] <hsatera> Paddy_EIRE: the subtitles sometimes appear, sometimes doesn't
[06:24] <Greevous> intra: what type of installation are you running? Live cd or alternate?
[06:24] <Jacob> nojoints: v9 update3 v61: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer9_update/flashplayer9_install_linux_061107.tar.gz
[06:24] <intra> Live CD
[06:24] <stroyan> intra:  You may be able to get farther with boot options such as noapic.
[06:24] <kyncani> intra: brand new hardware ?
[06:24] <Jacob> nojoints: v9 v41 stable: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[06:24] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: Im currently using beagle...although have used tracker, loved how little of a footprint it has
[06:24] <nojoints> Jacob; I can't reach the adobe site
[06:24] <Greevous> intra: also, at what point does it freeze
[06:25] <stroyan> intra:  You could google for your hardware and ubuntu to look for specific tips.
[06:25] <intra> brand new hardware: Asus MB, AMD x2 64, 1GB RAM
[06:25] <Jacob> nojoints: connection down?
[06:25] <intra> I've already google my MB
[06:25] <Jacob> er, never mind
[06:25] <intra> I'm trying to dual boot
[06:25] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: is strigi up and coming
[06:25] <intra> Win XP works fine
[06:25] <nojoints> Jacob; I need it sent or downloadable version from another site
[06:25] <jerrcs> okay no1uknow
[06:25] <kyncani> Paddy_EIRE: well, none work well enough for me for now
[06:25] <intra> what does noapic do?
[06:25] <stroyan> intra:  You could also look for newer firmware.  New hardware often ships with half-baked firmware.
[06:26] <jerrcs> http://jerrcs.net/uploads/flashplayer9_install_linux_061107.tar.gz
[06:26] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: well there is *cough* google-desktop *cough*
[06:26] <Paddy_EIRE> ewwww
[06:26] <Jacob> nojoints: i'll mirror a copy of it for now, which version do you want? v9 or the beta3?
[06:26] <jerrcs> r http://jerrcs.net/uploads/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[06:26] <intra> stroyan: I've done that too
[06:26] <jerrcs> anyways, I was at the EFI shell
[06:26] <kyncani> intra: brand new hardware -> I would try gutsy beta. If it works, it should mean that your hardware will be supported in the next ubuntu version only and you could stick with the beta versions for the time being
[06:26] <nojoints> Jacob rather have an stable becouse this is my main computer
[06:26] <intra> stroyan: I haven't tried the noapic, however
[06:26] <Jacob> kk
[06:26] <variant> Falstius: you change the kernel line to show /dev/whatever instead of the uuid..
[06:26] <jerrcs> nojoints: you can use http://jerrcs.net/uploads/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz if you want
[06:27] <kyncani> Paddy_EIRE: i don't go the non-gpl way if i can avoid it
[06:27] <jerrcs> I was reading the chat and figured I'd help
[06:27] <variant> Falstius: grub doesn't use the fstab
[06:27] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: me neither
[06:27] <intra> kyncani: good suggestion, I'll try it
[06:27] <nojoints> jerrcs; is it the beta3 or stable version?
[06:27] <camelcho> hello
[06:27] <jerrcs> nojoints: stable
[06:27] <camelcho> hola
[06:27] <Jacob> nojoints: http://files.codechunk.net/flash9.tar.gz should do it then :)
[06:27] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: thats why Im not really fond of kde it uses gt does it not
[06:27] <kyncani> intra: I had to stick with feisty in december 2006, edgy would not work with this laptop at the time
[06:28] <stroyan> intra:  There are several boot options that may avoid using troubled features.  But they are disabling things that you would really want to have working.
[06:28] <intra> kyncani: I'm trying to install feisty myself
[06:28] <intra> stroyan: One weird thing is that I actually got it to load cleanly from the Live CD, it just froze during install
[06:28] <chikita> hello, after installing switchfox and applying its spanish language pack, switchfox opens renamed as firefox, what can i do to fix this?
[06:28] <kyncani> intra: gutsy has a new kernel, hence new drivers and fixes for new and existing hardware
[06:28] <nojoints> Jacob thanks but jerrcs had it uploaded
[06:28] <intra> stroyan: and ever since it simply won't boot to the Live Desktop anymore
[06:29] <stroyan> intra:  ouch!
[06:29] <Paddy_EIRE> chikita: check the help>about to see what it is
[06:29] <Jacob> heh heh, never saw that
[06:29] <kyncani> Paddy_EIRE: gt ? wazzat ?
[06:29] <intra> kyncani: thanks, I will definately try it
[06:29] <camelcho> where download ubuntu...
[06:29] <camelcho> ??
[06:29] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: proprietry
[06:29] <jerrcs> Anyone want to help me for a min? I have a dual boot between Linux/MacOSX, but I want to set it to use Linux FIRST, and then osx if i choose.. reason why - it's going to be my server - anyone know how to do this with efi?
[06:29] <Jacob> camelcho: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[06:29] <KingPunk> anybody have any idea why x86_64 is terrible when it comes to just about anything?
[06:29] <camelcho> thx
[06:29] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: as in not truly free or gpl, hence thats why gnome came about
[06:29] <KingPunk> ..you have to have a 32bit browser to get plugins like flash, etc.
[06:30] <KingPunk> how terrible is that.
[06:30] <kyncani> Paddy_EIRE: that was a long time ago, now qt is gpl
[06:30] <predaeus> KingPunk, the problem is firms don't provide 64bit binaries of there programs.
[06:30] <predaeus> *their
[06:30] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: oh, never realised that
[06:30] <coma_> What plays .gif files
[06:30] <coma_> image viewer wont,
[06:31] <predaeus> coma_, did you try firefox? for animated gif
[06:31] <camelcho> ubuntu it's the easy instalecion?
[06:31] <TBotNik_u> cwillu: Looking for cli cmd to find sound chipset!
[06:31] <cwillu> KingPunk: 64bit is a big change
[06:31] <KingPunk> predaeus: so its a vendor issue? (such as adobe) and not an issue on behalf of GNU/FavoriteLinus Distro.
[06:31] <coma_> I could but id rather just have an app do it. I guess thats ok.
[06:31] <intra> kyncani: I don't see gusty on the ubuntu site, know where I can get it?
[06:31] <KingPunk> Its just amazing how many things are "broken" when you go to 64bit.
[06:31] <preaction> intra, #ubuntu+1
[06:32] <intra> KingPunk: yeah, it's frustrating
[06:32] <camelcho> ubuntu it's the easy instalation???
[06:32] <KingPunk> Im impressed that its actually at that level and was just curious.
[06:32] <intra> preaction: thanks
[06:32] <camelcho> my english is't bad T_T
[06:32] <coma_> I have gifs and want to see them with out using firefox.
[06:32] <KingPunk> I mean, i've been running 32bit for that very reason, i knew in the beginning it was WAY terrible, but it has mad progress, but you'd think I'd still be able to do your run-of-the-mill stuff, thats why i was so shocked.
[06:32] <KingPunk> anyways guys, thank you for the input, I appreciate it.
[06:32] <kyncani> intra: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/
[06:33] <predaeus> KingPunk, it most often is a vendor issue when there is a driver or binary problem with linux.
[06:33] <intra> kyncani: thanks
[06:33] <predaeus> KingPunk, there are people working on open solutions like gnash for flash, but it is not perfect yet, because they have to reverse engineer. but youtube partly works on my 64bit firefox. but be sure to get the flash video download plugin for firefox for vids that do not work well, and play them in vlc.
[06:33] <Paddy_EIRE> kyncani: http://ubuntuforums.org/g/images/19792/1_Smoke.jpg looks really nice
[06:34] <predaeus> doh
[06:34] <coma_> Does anyone have a US robotics 5410 wireless card and get it working with ubuntu?
[06:34] <Rprp> Can someone help me please? My 'glxinfo' output: http://rafb.net/p/OelVhg83.html screen: http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/7640/schermafdrukte8.png and i installed 'nvidia-glx' :<
[06:34] <reya276> Is there a POSTFIX Channel?
[06:34] <TBotNik_u> All: Looked on MB.  Chipset says SIS 964! Looking at alsa site for driver, brb
[06:34] <Kr00l> Does anyone know if Ubuntu will work with the VIA chip set?
[06:34] <nojoints> Neither Kopete, GAIM or Pidgin works to log onto an MSN account, but aMSN does (and I don't like/want aMSN) is there another option or someone able to help me with either Kopete or Pidgin?
[06:35] <kyncani> Paddy_EIRE: kde 4 should be integrated in gutsy+1, so you have some time before having kde 4 on your somehow-stable desktop
[06:35] <Kr00l> Anyone know if Ubuntu will work with a VIA chipset motherboard?
[06:35] <aaron_> ~[ Kr00l ] ~ should.
[06:36] <TBotNik_u> all: Alsa site jumps from 745 to 966 for SIS chipset.  Looking at SIS site brb!
[06:36] <Kr00l> aaron: i'm trying to build a budget pc under $250 and i need to know if ubuntu will support a VIA based motherboard
[06:37] <j85wilson> krool, I am running ubuntu on a VIA chipset mb.
[06:37] <kyncani> Kr00l: should, and no practical way to know for sure. Maybe googling for ubuntu/linux with the specific motherboard model would give some information
[06:37] <aaron_> ~[ Kr00l ] ~ VIA probably makes more than half of the running chipsets out there.
[06:37] <Falstius> variant: yeah, I understood that when I looked at the kernel line.  I had forgotten the root= bit.
[06:37] <Kr00l> sweet
[06:37] <m1r> !shockwave
[06:37] <ubotu> Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[06:37] <Rprp> Can someone help me please? My 'glxinfo' output: http://rafb.net/p/OelVhg83.html screen: http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/7640/schermafdrukte8.png , Xorg.conf: http://rafb.net/p/oqDFDF27.html and i installed 'nvidia-glx' :<
[06:38] <Kr00l> anyone think that building a budget pc for under $250 and loaded with ubuntu would be a great choice for people that can't afford a computer, like family members?
[06:38] <variant> Kr00l: absolutely
[06:39] <variant> 100%
[06:39] <Falstius> Kr00l: or get a used pc
[06:39] <aaron_> ~[ Kr00l ] ~ it's also good to buy used dell stuff on ebay for 120 bucks.
[06:39] <Falstius> Kr00l: and then install ubuntu on it because it is better than windows anyway :)
[06:39] <aaron_> i think that's his point
[06:39] <stroyan> Kr00l:  Don't skimp on a backup mechanism.  Otherwise it may be doing no favor to them.
[06:40] <Kr00l> Variant what happens if you have bad hardware in ubuntu like in windows you get a BSOD what happens in ubuntu
[06:40] <Kr00l> stroyan backup?
[06:40] <variant> Kr00l: there can be a kernel panic, but that is rare
[06:40] <stroyan> Kr00l:  Hard drives do die.
[06:40] <Mr-Snick> ok .. can someone help me compile wine 0.9.16?
[06:41] <Mr-Snick> and install? O . o
[06:41] <aaron_> ~[ Mr-Snick ] ~ why compile?
[06:41] <Kr00l> does anyone know how to compile the kernel so ubuntu boots faster? maybe a wiki
[06:41] <Mr-Snick> cuz its 0.9.16 and has no deb
[06:41] <Mr-Snick> like the newer versions do
[06:41] <jetscreamer> Kr00l: just take out what you know for a fact you don't need, for starters
[06:42] <Mr-Snick> http://source.winehq.org/source/?v=wine-0.9.16
