[12:06] <grampajoe> Should I be able to connect to a network or the internet while running Ubuntu from a live CD?
[12:06] <boink> grampajoe: yes
[12:06] <boink> it should work fine .. but murphy's law can apply
[12:07] <wo_Ot> lol
[12:07] <C-O-L-T> Jack_Sparrow: thanks thanks for help it works
[12:07] <grampajoe> Yeah I'm not able to connect to my network, even though it says the interfaces are acitve
[12:07] <wo_Ot> where can i find ubuntu's live cd?
[12:08] <erUSUL> wo_Ot: download.ubuntu.com ?
[12:08] <boink> can you ping to the outside?
[12:08] <rmd> wo_Ot: it's called the desktop cd on the main page
[12:08] <grampajoe> boink: Nope
[12:08] <galago> my laptop is not recursing the search setting in /etc/resolv.conf
[12:08] <galago> when set to foo.bar.example.com
[12:08] <galago> it should (but doesn't) find host qux.bar.example.com
[12:08] <boink> what does dmesg|less say? (don't paste that here, please)
[12:08] <runa> hey :) I've a utf8 file and I want to convert it to iso8859-1. Any hints?
[12:09] <boink> and of course, what's the box connected to? a router?
[12:09] <erUSUL> runa: man iconv
[12:09] <boink> ifconfig is another good tool to see what happening with the network interfaces
[12:09] <olorin> runa, iconv -t utf-8 inputfile
[12:09] <grampajoe> It should be connected wirelessly to a router, but apparently the connection isn't there
[12:09] <boink> wirelessly?
[12:10] <boink> that makes things more difficult :/
[12:10] <grampajoe> Yeah, I'm sure it does
[12:10] <boink> what does ifconfig say?
[12:10] <Jack_Sparrow> ludedeeds:   Can we check something...?
[12:10] <killown> how I configure X composite plugin?
[12:10] <Jack_Sparrow> ludedeeds: What i did to fix my problem was to assign the Default Gateway ip of my router and after restart, everything worked fine. was what I found...
[12:11] <runa> olorin: tnx
[12:11] <grampajoe> eth1 (the wireless interface) isn't listed
[12:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Colt glad it worked for you..

[12:11] <boink> if you do a dmesg|less you'll see what happened on the boot-up
[12:11] <grampajoe> That's kind of what I thought, I had the same problem on another computer
[12:11] <boink> which card is it?
[12:11] <ludedeeds> Jack_Sparrow: was your connection timing out after about an hour of inactivity?
[12:11] <printk> illsci: #ubuntu-xgl
[12:12] <kalif> boink: only if bootup wasn't to long ago
[12:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Minutes, not an hour
[12:12] <ludedeeds> Jack_Sparrow: at first, i thought it had something to do with power management, but i disabled all of that completely and still had the problem
[12:12] <grampajoe> It's built-in, it's an emachine
[12:12] <boink> I think the agony factor would be less if you used the ethernet card

[12:38] <lupine_85> MrParanoia: that means absolutely nothing, sorry
[12:38] <ladydoor> Jack_Sparrow: fair enough
[12:38] <lupine_85> presumably it's a PE binary, which means it won't run under linux
[12:38] <Flannel> znull: because .25 is not .27?

[12:40] <Daynah> Knasman: thanks! :)
[12:40] <fernando> what can i do to fix it
[12:40] <stefg> Daynah: of course you can't take the drive out if there's a part of ubuntu on it (like /boot or /usr). Otherwise you can just take it out without consequnces, if it's not the first one with grub (the bootloader) on it
[12:40] <Jack_Sparrow> ludedeeds: Hope that fixes your problem... how long did it usually take to lock up?

[12:43] <nbx909|linux> it breaks
[12:43] <nbx909|linux> lol
[12:43] <lostbuntu> any1 know basic steps to get a sound blaster live working. i cannot see it in lspci?
[12:44] <nbx909|linux> all we need for a temp fix is the previous package
[12:44] <ludedeeds> Jack_Sparrow: i dont really know the exact amount of time it took.. but it was around the same amount of time to make me think that it was a power management problem, but it wasn't
[12:44] <ludedeeds> so.. around an hour or 2.. thought i mostly noticed it when i'd wake up of a morning
[12:44] <steveire> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24142 <<< I get this error message since updating flash. What can I do about this?
[12:45] <ludedeeds> though*
[12:45] <bernie_> any one know the root password for 5.04
[12:45] <Jack_Sparrow> nbx909|linux: I updated late yesterday, what should I do to see if it works?
[12:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !root
[12:45] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:45] <ladydoor> bernie_: there is no root password by default in ubuntu. if you want to su to root you need to give root a password yourself
[12:45] <bernie_> thanks
[12:46] <rukuartic> Hokay, so I've got an odd situation here. I need to do a network install on a PowerPC from an x86 architecture. Is this even feasable?
[12:46] <ladydoor> bernie_: but normally you'd just use sudo
[12:46] <erUSUL> lostbuntu: are you sure it is correctly plugged? if it does not come up in lspci linux does not see it
[12:46] <maddash> can someone show me how to add a shortcut to synaptic to the xfce4 panel?
[12:46] <nbx909|linux> Jack_Sparrow, it shouldn't have installed
[12:46] <nbx909|linux> if it broked
[12:46] <ladydoor> bernie_: also, you might consider upgrading to dapper
[12:46] <blackelf> ladydoor: that is like the #1 FAQ question, they should change "su" program to dispaly info explaining that
[12:46] <nbx909|linux> you can't get past install
[12:46] <lostbuntu> thanks erUSUL
[12:47] <Flannel> blackelf: that would make su useless though ;)  And, I believe it is ... somewhere around here...
[12:47] <ladydoor> blackelf: you mean so that su wouldn't work? i mean, it's a very useful program and i use it, personally
[12:47] <lostbuntu> that is kinda strange because it works fine in FC4
[12:47] <Jack_Sparrow> nbx909|linux: I used this link and got the update from adobe   http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/08/install-mozilla-flash-plugin-in-ubuntu.html
[12:47] <echo1> Has anyone installed the new fglrx? (8.29.6)
[12:47] <nbx909|linux> Jack_Sparrow, ah i was using the nonfree one in the repos
[12:47] <lostbuntu> maybe i should try modprobe it (me a noob)
[12:48] <Jack_Sparrow> nbx909|linux: I was helping jrib figure out a problem for another user..
[12:49] <blackelf> Flannel: ladydoor: no, I ment a change like   + if (login=="root" && root_doest_exist()) printf("WARNING: the root user do not exist yet. In Ubuntu systems root is disabled by default. Give command: 'sudo passwd root' in a termianl (alt+f2 gnome-terminal) to create the root account and then give your own password, finally imput the new password for root user (it must be very strong!)");

[12:49] <philipsmith> I'm trying to use remote desktop to access an XP machine on my network. The XP machine is set up properly and the firewall allows remote access. When I use Remote Desktop and put the computer name, username, and password in, I get an error box: unresolved host. What am I doing wrong?
[12:49] <erUSUL> !paste > lostbuntu
[12:49] <nbx909|linux> Jack_Sparrow, what?
[12:49] <Jack_Sparrow> nbx909|linux: The reason I updated flash
[12:49] <nbx909|linux> ah
[12:49] <nbx909|linux> ty
[12:49] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[12:49] <rukuartic> philipsmith: You might not have hostnames configured correctly, try putting the IP addy in.
[12:49] <nbx909|linux> i'll test it and if it works i'll place it in the forums
[12:49] <ladydoor> blackelf: ah, that could be useful. of course, root does exist--you just can't log in as it. but that could be a good idea, esp. if sudo were mentioned as well
[12:50] <Jack_Sparrow> ludedeeds: Still online and working?
[12:50] <blackelf> ladydoor: awesome. let me contribute that idea :)  where is a forum for ubuntu devels?
[12:50] <_tom_> philipsmith, have you tried the IP of the XP machine?
[12:50] <ladydoor> blackelf: #ubuntu+1
[12:50] <ludedeeds> yeah, but i've been... well.. using the internet on the other comp... lol
[12:50] <ladydoor> blackelf: but
[12:50] <ladydoor> blackelf: actually, nevermind
[12:51] <stefg> philipsmith: there's no dns setup... either you call the xp machine by its IP instead of the name, or you have to enter the name and ip into /etc/hosts
[12:51] <Flannel> blackelf: right here in the documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/linux-basics.html#root-and-sudo
[12:51] <rukuartic> Does anyone know if its possible to install PPC architecture to a hard drive with x86 architecture?
[12:51] <blackelf> Flannel: *I* know it. Newbies dont
[12:52] <philipsmith> Rukuartic and Tom: I have the IP of the XP. Where to I enter that on the linux Remote Desktop window? In the "COMPUTER" box?
[12:52] <Crippy-Boy> rukuartic: I dont really know im guessing its not possible though
[12:52] <nbx909|linux> Jack_Sparrow, yep that worked
[12:52] <Jack_Sparrow> ludedeeds: Arrrrgh   20 lashes....   Ok... I am done I'll try and check back in later....
[12:52] <Jack_Sparrow> nbx909|linux: np  Hope it helps
[12:52] <_tom_> philipsmith, yes, instead of the computers name
[12:52] <killown> How I active X composite ?
[12:52] <Jack_Sparrow> goodnight
[12:52] <killown> I use ubuntu dapper

[12:53] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[12:53] <Flannel> blackelf: right, but it's right there in the documentation, and anywhere you go to ask for help ubuntu related will tell you promptly, above that.  'newbies' don't know about sudo, unless they're coming from another distro, in which case, the first place they look after trying is documentation
[12:54] <killown> I can to run xgl in my video card via unichrome igp ?

[12:54] <Crippy-Boy> I have a question, I wanna ssh in from college, but theres a problem, Im not allowed to use putty and the only similar option i have is telnet, Ive been thinking if i telnet into a chroot jail then ssh to localhost with a more privaledged user, Is that likely to be ok and decrease the security risk of using telnet?
[12:54] <lupine_85> !aiglx
[12:54] <ubotu> AIGLX ('Accelerated Indirect GLX') is an open source project founded by the X.Org Foundation and the Fedora Core Linux community to allow accelerated indirect GLX rendering capabilities to X.org and DRI drivers. This allows remote X clients to get fully hardware accelerated rendering over the GLX protocol.
[12:54] <wtfomg> is there a way to set up dual monitor support on ubuntu?
[12:54] <Pierre> for those interested, pinnacle 300i + ubuntu dapper (2.6.15) works with v4l2-dvb from their repository (hg), versions available in the ubuntu repo does not work

[12:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Dual Monitor - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:54] <Flannel> Crippy-Boy: they don't let you use putty?

[12:55] <chejo> Hi
[12:55] <killown> How I active write in ntfs file system?
[12:55] <Flannel> killown: you don't
[12:56] <stefg> !fuse
[12:56] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[12:56] <Flannel> killown: or at least, not safely
[12:56] <erUSUL> lostbuntu: you are right no traces of the SB Live card... it may be a bug in the ubuntu kernel :(
[12:56] <Crippy-Boy> Flannel: I have to jump through hoops (ie writing a program to call command.com since theyve blocked most ways to get to any form of command prompt, except they left a compiler in the shared apps, oops), So no, not likely i could convince them either.
[12:56] <chejo> Can you help? I would like to know if there's a program to change the grub splash screen..
[12:56] <chejo> is it?
[12:56] <lostbuntu> just out of interest has any1 here tried to install mythtv on a 6.06?
[12:56] <killown> ha
[12:56] <killown> ok
[12:56] <lostbuntu> mythtv 0.20
[12:56] <Flannel> Crippy-Boy: get a better college ;)  get some OSS ssh program, and compile it ;)
[12:57] <lostbuntu> erUSUL: thanks, i may give up this project as it is not working out too well
[12:57] <chejo> how do I change my grub splash screen???? is there something I can download to make it easy?
[12:57] <erUSUL> !splash
[12:57] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, open the gconf-editor and change the key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash-image.
[12:57] <Crippy-Boy> Flannel: The college is a pretty high standard, just strict about network rules, And that still wont help,
[12:57] <erUSUL> !grub
[12:57] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[12:58] <Pierre> Wrentype: you can set it from fglrx-control (not installed by the driver)
[12:58] <Pierre> oops
[12:58] <quiet> Anyone want the ability to watch video's that require flash 9??
[12:58] <Crippy-Boy> The compiling the ssh program wont help i mean, I dont wanna have something like that laying around, Atleast a program that just does a few system() calls i pull an excuse out of a hat for :-)
[12:58] <Pierre> wtfomg: you can set it from fglrx-control (not installed by the driver)
[12:58] <Crippy-Boy> Flannel: basically i just wanna know if telnetting into a chroot jail then sshing to local host will be secure enough.
[12:59] <riddlebox> why would dapper detect my wireless card as eth1 most of the time, but once in a while ndiswrapper detects it as wlan0?
[12:59] <Flannel> Crippy-Boy: what's wrong with a thumbdrive?
[12:59] <chejo> but is it the grub-splash screen?
[12:59] <Flannel> Crippy-Boy: telnet won't be, ebcause your communication is all still plaintext, from your computer to where you're telnetted into
[12:59] <chejo> or just the splash screen?
[12:59] <Crippy-Boy> Flannel: Nothing other than the fact that i cant execute anything from external storage devices.
[12:59] <erUSUL> chejo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#head-616e8477b76f70cdd317812fef0ac88b248e25b4
[12:59] <quiet> grub doesn't use a splash on ubuntu.
[12:59] <quiet> just black and white.
[01:00] <chejo> exactly
[01:00] <chejo> but I want to change it
[01:00] <Flannel> quiet: you can add a grub splash though
[01:00] <quiet> i know.
[01:00] <chejo> is it possible?
[01:00] <Flannel> chejo: search the forums, someone there did it.  I don't have the link handy though
[01:00] <MukiEX> What's up with this new non-free flash plugin?
[01:00] <quiet> if you have an image, i'd guess.
[01:00] <MukiEX> Is it a fixed-up 7? Or is it just a better package?
[01:00] <quiet> MukiEX: it's teh broken.
[01:00] <MukiEX> eh?
[01:00] <quiet> it fails on install.
[01:01] <MukiEX> Well that's fun.
[01:01] <chejo> but is it kind a difficult? 'cause I'm kind a begginer..
[01:01] <chejo> beginner
[01:01] <MukiEX> Why update the deb then?
[01:01] <Flannel> chejo: It's layed out like most ubuntu-howto things, if I remember correctly, step by step.
[01:01] <Crippy-Boy> Flannel: True, but it'll offer a bit more security than just telnetting no? I dont care about packets being in plain text as no one sniffing on the college network will try and telnet to my computer
[01:02] <quiet> MukiEX: cause they're retarded.  there's a fix on the forums.. but i don't have a link, sorry.
[01:02] <Flannel> Crippy-Boy: no.  It really won't be any more secure.  It'd be like using ssh, with a keylogger on your computer.
[01:02] <Flannel> Crippy-Boy: which college is it, by the way? so I can stay far away from it.
[01:03] <Crippy-Boy> Flannel: I understand what you mean but i feel a little weary running a telnet server outside of an chroot jail as if past experiences tell me anything its a big ugly pile of crud :-)
[01:03] <Guest31250> anybody have any experience in ubunto desktop and getting it to run on imac?  it appears to be running but it doesn't display anything
[01:04] <macker> anyone know of any good DIVX codec software for ubuntu?
[01:04] <Flannel> Crippy-Boy: it still won't be any better, you log into your chroot jail, and then ssh into your box, the person sniffing your telnet still knows how to ssh from your telnet to your real box
[01:04] <Crippy-Boy> Guest31250: Try Ctrl+Alt+F1 then reconfigure x (im assuming thats what it is)
[01:04] <erUSUL> !divx > macker
[01:05] <Crippy-Boy> Flannel: Im not worried about people sniffing, Im worried about general security issues with telnet itsself besides the plaintext issue
[01:05] <variant> lo all, how do you repair xorg.conf? i wiped it by accident
[01:06] <elkbuntu> variant, in a terminal, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:06] <mauro> Xorg is currently taking up 50% of my physical memory. does anyone know how to lower its memory usage?
[01:06] <rukuartic> elkbuntu: thats ugly...
[01:06] <Crippy-Boy> mauro kill -9? :D
[01:06] <rukuartic> variant: Try copying the xorg.conf from the livecd if you have it still
[01:06] <elkbuntu> rukuartic, if he managed to wipe it, he can cope with it
[01:06] <variant> elkbuntu: cool thanks.. you know an up to date tutorial for setting up aiglx?
[01:06] <rukuartic> variant: ask ubotu about aiglx
[01:07] <erUSUL> mauro: restart firefox (because it is surely the culprit)
[01:07] <elkbuntu> variant, i use the fglrx driver on the only machine capable, so no
[01:07] <runa> I have this file, which "file" recognizes as "UTF-8 Unicode text" (the spanish accented characters appear as 3 bytes in the original file). I run "iconv -f UTF8 -t iso-8859-1 s.srt" and get "iconv: illegal input sequence at position 89". Any hints?
[01:07] <viamptor> dapper will come standard with aiglx no?
[01:07] <variant> rukuartic: huh?
[01:07] <viamptor> whoops
[01:07] <viamptor> next releast
[01:07] <viamptor> edgy
[01:07] <rukuartic> variant: elkbuntu's solution will work, but it means a lot of configuring
[01:07] <mauro> not firefox
[01:07] <Guest31250> ctrl+alt+f1 got me to a command prompt, but how to I get to the desktop configuration file at this point?
[01:07] <rukuartic> variant: if you have the install cd that you used, put it in the drive and copy xorg.conf over
[01:08] <Guest31250> <-- ubuntu/linux newbie.
[01:08] <len> Hi, can any1 help me? When I use glxinfo | grep "direct" says direct rendering: No, how can I enable direct rendering?
[01:08] <terlmann> Help!!!! I cant find my fav ho-to guide on the forums! and I am in edgy knot 3! my problem is,the sound.my sound(fresh install) is not working.all i get is humming!           the last time i fixed it(in dapper)i ran apt-get --purge remove something.... and i dont remember! HELP!!!
[01:08] <variant> rukuartic: nah, it worked with regenerating
[01:08] <rukuartic> Guest31250: thats in /etc/x11/xorg.conf, you can edit it with "nano"
[01:08] <lostbuntu> is there a command that will rescan the pci buss looking for new hardware?
[01:08] <Flannel> terlmann: #ubuntu+1
[01:08] <terlmann> thx
[01:08] <elkbuntu> rukuartic, while it's alot of configuring, it is a zillion times quicker
[01:08] <variant> rukuartic: what you say about ubotu ?
[01:08] <erUSUL> runa: try opening it with gedit and then Save as and choose the desired encoding
[01:09] <rukuartic> variant: type "/msg ubotu aiglx"
[01:09] <BrianG> "apt-get --purge remove #ubuntu+1 didn't work!"
[01:09] <len> anybody?
[01:09] <Crippy-Boy> Flannel: Ok, maybe not the best idea ever, Can you think of a semi decent way to acomplish something similar, without having to mess around with compiling stuff, trying to get things to run from external drives etc, As i dont really wanna push it too much i dont fancy getting kicked out :-)
[01:10] <Flannel> Crippy-Boy: get a better college, seriously.  Yours can't be condusive to learning.
[01:10] <riddlebox> why would dapper detect my wireless card as eth1 most of the time, but once in a while ndiswrapper detects it as wlan0?
[01:10] <vonkleist> Hi.
[01:10] <len> how can I enable direct rendering?
[01:11] <rukuartic> riddlebox: Ubuntu's configured to name it ethX, ndiswrapper's configured to name it wlanX

[01:12] <Polygon> what do you mean a lot of work
[01:12] <riddlebox> rukuartic, but I blacklisted the bcm43xx drivers and ndiswrapper is started at boot, but it still detects the card as eth1, I just want to make it do one or the other all the time
[01:12] <Flannel> !tell terlmann about sound
[01:12] <Polygon> cause right now im preprated to do anything to get that stuff back lol
[01:12] <vonkleist> ummmm....
[01:13] <vonkleist> that's not a very good how to

[01:13] <stefg> man mdadm
[01:14] <vonkleist> hahaha
[01:14] <vonkleist> so...
[01:14] <vonkleist> first I install, and then I go through mdadm...
[01:14] <rukuartic> riddlebox: try "modprobe -r ndiswrapper"
[01:14] <vonkleist> isn't there any way to do it on installation time?
[01:14] <riddlebox> then I will loose my connection?

[01:15] <mwe> restart, no?
[01:16] <Flannel> nicnac: you got out of it with the ctrl-alt-f#?  f7 puts you back to the GUI, if that's what you did to get out of it.  but yeah, yo'll need to restart X for changes to take effect
[01:16] <mwe> if it is already running
[01:16] <Polygon> if you use an nvidia card handless, a recent kernel updated borked the nvidia drivers
[01:16] <Polygon> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=257459
[01:16] <handless> yes i can only boot into safe mode, ive restarted many of times and that didnt seem to fix it im thinkn maybe video drivers i have a ati x700 mobility
[01:16] <vonkleist> thank you Flannel... so... without the alternative ISO there's no way, I guess...
[01:16] <Polygon> oh
[01:16] <Flannel> vonkleist: right.  the desktop ISO doesn't have that functionality
[01:17] <Polygon> your computer was working recently right, like within the week?
[01:17] <rukuartic> Does anyone know if its possible to install the PPC version of linux to a hard drive on an x86 machine?
[01:17] <vonkleist> thank you!
[01:17] <handless> nah i just installed and can only boot into safemode
[01:17] <mwe> rukuartic: it sounds silly

[01:18] <handless> well last night
[01:18] <Polygon> it hasnt worked at all

[01:18] <handless> negative
[01:19] <Tokenbad> what would this mean?  gunzip: nwresources129.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--length error
[01:19] <Polygon> were you able to start x with the live cd?
[01:19] <mwe> Tokenbad: broken file probably
[01:20] <Gradius9> hm, ubuntu stops at boot at "kernel log" when I have installed the DWL 510 (wlan card pci), when removed it starts fine, altrough the card is supported by linux. Are there anything I can do?
[01:20] <handless> ive tried it both ways and nothing
[01:20] <Tokenbad> hmm....had it work just days ago..it messed up and gave that error so redownloaded...now doing it again
[01:20] <Gradius9> anyone?
[01:20] <len> stefg: When I use glxinfo | grep direct  give me as awnser direct rendering: No. And this is not allowing me to use cedega
[01:20] <Polygon> are you sure that the iso you downloaded was not corrupted? did you use bittorent or a http download
[01:20] <variant> rukuartic: great, i allready know what aiglx is.. i was asking if anyone knew a link that would help set it up?
[01:21] <handless> yeah i checked the md5 and it came back good, and i checked the disk on another computer and it installed fine on there
[01:21] <Polygon> i dunno then, thats really weird
[01:21] <stefg> len you've got to tell what graphics card you have, and possibly what driver you're using.
[01:22] <mwe> !
[01:22] <Polygon> the only suggestion that i could give is maybe reinstall it again and see if it fixes it, if not there might be some problem with your hardware or something
[01:22] <rukuartic> variant: Search the forums :P I don't have one on hand, but they're there.
[01:22] <variant> rukuartic: all out of date :/
[01:22] <len> stefg: I have geforce 7800 gtx and driver is nvidia-xgl
[01:23] <handless> everything seems to work find hardware wise except the video but i cant find where theres a video conflict should reinstall the video drivers with the ones from the ati site
[01:23] <variant> wtf is ubuntu edgy? is that 6.06 dev version or stomgin?
[01:23] <mwe> !edgy
[01:23] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[01:23] <len> GTX: ?
[01:23] <variant> mwe: thnx
[01:23] <Polygon> maybe, that might do something
[01:23] <GTX> You highlighted me!
[01:23] <Rug> Howdy all
[01:24] <stefg> len, check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if it says nvidia, not nv in the driver section
[01:24] <len> stefg: says nvidia
[01:24] <quintin> Does the livecd start sshd automatically?
[01:24] <astopy> quintin: I doubt it
[01:25] <variant> quintin: nope
[01:25] <mwe> it doesn't. that would be extemely silly
[01:25] <Flannel> quintin: no, ubuntu has no ports open by default
[01:25] <variant> quintin: how could you log in? there is no user/password afaik
[01:25] <handless> i guess my main question should be how do i get the drivers from ati to install i was unsuccessful in my last try
[01:26] <Flannel> variant: ubuntu/[blank]
[01:26] <len> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24145
[01:26] <Xenguy> quintin: ps aux |grep sshd
[01:26] <quintin> Xenguy: not an option!!
[01:26] <quintin> My problem is I have another box i need to access over network
[01:26] <quintin> I have no monitor mouse or keyboard
[01:26] <Xenguy> quintin: hmm
[01:26] <quintin> so I need livecd that will get dhcp lease over network and start sshd so I can continue.........
[01:27] <corhere> I have a laptop with an intel i810 chipset. I have found information on the internet on how to setup xorg.conf to allow multiple monitors on the laptop and the vga-out, or the s-video port. Is there any program that can let me change the settings for that on the fly so that I can choose whether to output to a tv or a monitor without changing xorg.conf?
[01:27] <quintin> (I am using a portable currently)
[01:27] <quintin> corhere: do a google search for ubuntu multiple monitor and you will find one.  I forget what it is called...  some gnome thingie
[01:27] <corhere> quintin: i have googled for that exact phrase, but I have found no program yet
[01:28] <rukuartic> corhere: On my laptop, you press fn+f5 to switch... I don't know what programs are available.
[01:28] <quintin> corhere: I did before... try multiple display maybe... google knows all
[01:28] <stefg> len, have you run 'sudo nvidia-glx-config enable' ?
[01:28] <quintin> corhere: or search on ubuntuforums.  but there is a program... I read threads about it
[01:29] <variant> can i install mutliple jvm/jdk's in ubuntu or can they not be installed alongside each other?
[01:29] <len> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24147
[01:30] <mwe> variant: they can but one has to be default
[01:30] <Flannel> variant: sure, but you'll have to keep track of paths and stuff the programs are using and stuff
[01:30] <handless> should i handle the ati x700 mobility the same as if it were a x700 cause i can find no information about the x700 mobility but i can find plenty on installing the x700
[01:30] <variant> mwe: cool, is there a proper way to keep that in check or is that up to me?
[01:30] <mwe> handless: I think you need fglrx
[01:31] <mwe> variant: are you using .debs ?
[01:31] <handless> ok, so then it should be treated as a different card then
[01:31] <StFS> has anyone updated the flashplugin-nonfree package
[01:31] <variant> mwe: im switching from gentoo (5 years) to xubuntu.. cus i like the way it works :)
[01:31] <stefg> len, true.. you've messed with your xorg.conf... do a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[01:31] <variant> mwe: I havent started yet
[01:31] <StFS> I'm getting some rc-update or something when it's installed
[01:31] <StFS> error that is
[01:31] <mwe> variant: well if you use .debs it's easy. just use update-alternatives
[01:32] <variant> mwe: I need to develop with sun jdk 1.5 but dont need that to be the default jvm
[01:32] <handless> cause im thinkin thats my issue cause in the driver list it shows up as x700 not an x700 mobility so i think its reading the card wrong and is causing x to error out
[01:32] <len> stefg: oh gosh.. here we go again lol
[01:32] <variant> dont want it too either
[01:32] <variant> mwe: cool
[01:32] <JuGhEaD__> I'm looking for a live distro that I can use with my wireless on my laptop - I've read conflicting info about the Intel pro wireless 3945 ABG - does the latest ubuntu recognize this out of the box?
[01:33] <handless> im still fairly new to this i just know i hate windows and want to transfer to linux and will work as hard as needed to do so as long as its possible but if it isnt then i wanna find out before i spend days tring
[01:33] <rjohnson> hello, i have a question about network settings, anyone have a moment
[01:33] <rukuartic> rjohnson: Ask yer question mate, someone'll get to it :)
[01:33] <deceptacon> can xubuntu run on 128 mb ram ?
[01:33] <variant> JuGhEaD__: dunno about the ubuntu live cd but you should really check out slax.org
[01:33] <cpk2> JuGhEaD__: you can always try the livecd to see if it does
[01:33] <variant> deceptacon: yesp
[01:33] <variant> deceptacon: yep
[01:33] <len> stefg: should I use frame buffer?
[01:33] <JackONeill> ?
[01:33] <Gradius9> how do I enter a safe mode in ubuntu?
[01:33] <variant> deceptacon: the live cd is a bit crap with that though
[01:33] <JuGhEaD__> sounds good
[01:33] <rukuartic> handless: Try out the live CD, its really neat.
[01:33] <deceptacon> ill install to hdd then
[01:33] <stefg> len, doesn't matter, but it's safer to say no
[01:34] <variant> deceptacon: make plenty of swap
[01:34] <handless> ive used the live cd it will only boot in safe mode
[01:34] <deceptacon> around how much would you say?
[01:34] <Xenguy> Gradius9: I think there is an option at logon ?
[01:34] <rukuartic> handless: Hrrm. Thats intersting.
[01:34] <deceptacon> right now i have 370mb for debian
[01:34] <rjohnson> k, thanks...i recently installed ubuntu 6.06 for my 64bit sys, and it isnt setting the network settings right, the live cd did initially now it wont either
[01:34] <Gradius9> Xenguy, hm let me check...
[01:34] <Flannel> Gradius9: grub menu, you'll need to hit escape to show it, then select the safe mode
[01:34] <Xenguy> Gradius9: (gdm)
[01:34] <variant> deceptacon: if you have two hard disks make two parttions at the start of each disk both swap and set the swap priority for both in fstab to be 0.. they will be used symultainiously improving performance drasticaly
[01:35] <Flannel> Gradius9: or, safe gnome, yeah, that's a session thing
[01:35] <rukuartic> rjohnson: How do you mean it won't let you set network settings?
[01:35] <deceptacon> variant: sorry i only have one hdd
[01:35] <variant> deceptacon: np
[01:35] <JackONeill> !ubuntu+1
[01:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu+1 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:35] <Gradius9> Flannel, ok, just hit esc an early boot
[01:35] <Gradius9> at
[01:35] <handless> i have a ati x700 mobility and its showing up in safe mode as being an ati x700 now im not sure if thats whats causing x to fail or if its something else but all my other hardware seems to work great on the live cd
[01:35] <variant> deceptacon: just a tip
[01:35] <deceptacon> variant: you think 370mb swap will cover for xubuntu ?
[01:35] <Flannel> Gradius9: do you want safe mode gnome? or a root prompt?
[01:35] <variant> deceptacon: you should go for 500 - 600 at least
[01:36] <deceptacon> okay, im on it
[01:36] <Gradius9> Flannel, I do not know yet, because I have a HW problem and I am new til Linux
[01:36] <deceptacon> thanks
[01:36] <variant> deceptacon: unless your really strapped for hd space
[01:36] <rjohnson> well, the gui tool in system -> admin -> networking doesnt seem to fix it and manuall changing /etc/netowrk/interfaces doesnt either
[01:36] <JackONeill> !nextrelease
[01:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nextrelease - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[01:36] <JackONeill> !schedule
[01:36] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[01:36] <mwe> my laptop is never using any swap space
[01:37] <JackONeill> ubuntu can go bye bye till oct 26th.. dapper just wasn't up to much :S
[01:37] <variant> mwe: how much ram you got?
[01:37] <nicnac> thank you guys, ubuntu is up now.  the screen default refresh and video cards were being initialized with the wrong settings.
[01:37] <mwe> variant: 768 MB
[01:37] <stefg> mwe: good, so read about tmpfs to put it to good use >;-)
[01:37] <Gradius9> Flannel, brb
[01:37] <variant> mwe: same here nearly :)
[01:37] <JackONeill> no reason it may be delayed further is there?
[01:37] <Kewlb> what is the proccess to upgrade from say 6.0.6 to 6.10
[01:37] <len> stefg: should I use all modules? (*Bitmap, dbe, *ddc, *dri, *extmod, *freetype, *xgl, *int10, record, *type1, v4l, *vbe)? or leave selected (those 1 with *)
[01:37] <variant> Kewlb: apt-get dist upgrade i think
[01:37] <Kewlb> does it require a complete reinstall or will there be an upgrade package.
[01:37] <handless> anyone know where i can find good information on installing the ati drivers so i can try a different one
[01:37] <JackONeill> is 6.10 edgy?
[01:37] <Kewlb> oh, sweet.
[01:37] <ladydoor> Kewlb: you should really hold off until 6.10 is actually *released*
[01:38] <Kewlb> yeah
[01:38] <gunnar_> Hello, I have the 'no screens found' bug that was reported a few weeks ago.  Could some one point me to a URL that has the info for recovering from it.  ( All I have is lynx for a browser. ) Thanks.
[01:38] <Kewlb> not doing anything right now
[01:38] <Kewlb> I just got this system like I want it and I am VERY happy
[01:38] <ladydoor> Kewlb: if you don't know how to dist-upgrade already, then you don't need to be installing a development release
[01:38] <fildo> hi, i have an external dvd burner, via firewire,  .would i have to mount the drive or would it autodetect ?
[01:38] <ladydoor> Kewlb: sweet
[01:38] <Kewlb> ladydoor, not planning on it.
[01:38] <ladydoor> Kewlb: sweet
[01:38] <stefg> len , leave the defaults
[01:39] <mwe> variant: I read a few years ago that as a rule of thumb twice the ram would make sense for swap so I made a 2GB swap partition to be safe. I have never seen it being used yet in about 8 months
[01:39] <L0cKd0wN> HELP!!! I chowned a folder as user 'public' , group 'public', then thru the GUI, added my normal user into the 'public' group, when I try to FTP in as this normal user and make a folder or move data in the folder, I get an error, but when I try with the 'public' account everything works fine, how do I make normal user have access to stuff 'public' owns
[01:39] <rjohnson> i have this sys dual booting with windows and the nic works in windows
[01:39] <Kewlb> would the upgrade replace customized software that has been installed.. ie: like mplayer (since I compiled it myself so it supports wmv files)
[01:39] <variant> mwe: yeah, that rule of thumb was created when people were fortunate to have 28mb ram :D
[01:39] <Flannel> mwe: nah, that rule was good, but for most people, 1GB of RAM is plenty, I usually go with 1GB of swap, but more than 1GB of swap is too much.
[01:40] <variant> mwe: its irrelevent nowadays
[01:40] <L0cKd0wN> ...and how can i make it so normal user, can move data and create new directories in the FTP ?
[01:40] <L0cKd0wN> TIA
[01:40] <rukuartic> rjohnson: What's your current settings? /msg me them
[01:40] <rjohnson> k
[01:40] <mwe> variant: yeah maybe so.
[01:40] <variant> mwe: as you noticed it never gets used.. its good to have loads on a server that might experiance sudden high loads..
[01:40] <Flannel> Kewlb: no, if you compiled anything yourself, it's not under package management, and won't be upgraded
[01:40] <mwe> variant: sure
[01:40] <Kewlb> flannel: thanks! Excellent!
[01:41] <Tokenbad> there is no way to fix a tar.gz file is here?
[01:41] <variant> mwe: i think 1gb is what i would go for.. but maybe two seperate hard disks with 512mb each
[01:42] <bl4cktone> Hey guys my amaroK keeps freezing, I can't seem to figure it out I thought it was xgl but does the same in regular gnome anyone have an idea what's going on?
[01:42] <Flannel> L0cKd0wN: add the users to the group, and chown it to that group, ftpusers or whatever.  And, your name is bloody hard to nick complete
[01:42] <variant> Tokenbad: yeah i think there is.. not certain but i remember somthing from a few years back.. check the tar manpage
[01:42] <jojoman02> how do i check the gdm logs to see why my ubuntu is not starting up?
[01:42] <jojoman02> gdm loads but not gnome
[01:42] <zack_> Whenever i try to startx from my user account i wont start but if im in root adn use the command "startx" it works. what could be wrong?
[01:42] <Flannel> jojoman02: you running XGL?
[01:42] <variant> jojoman02: less /var/log/gdm
[01:42] <mwe> variant: yeah. that way you'd only waste 1GB instead of 2 ;)
[01:42] <stefg> For a good read: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-fs3.html#2
[01:42] <jojoman02> no i am not
[01:42] <jrib> /what
[01:42] <variant> zack_: whats the output from x when you run startx as a user? (use pastebin)
[01:42] <jojoman02> variant: thankz
[01:43] <zack_> variant well it said it couldnt find /dev/wacom, which i looked for and apparantly theres no folder
[01:43] <variant> zack_: you trying to set up xgl/aiglx?
[01:44] <mwe> stefg: what would you suggest to keep on tmpfs?
[01:44] <zack_> variant, i had set it up previously but once i tried to remove it this is what happened
[01:44] <bl4cktone> Is there some way I can look at a amarok log file or something to see what caused it to go poop? somebody?
[01:44] <variant> zack_: yeah, sounds liek a borked config.. it just so happens that thats the exact problem i just had but seeing as its a new install i just reinstalled (its a sin i know :))
[01:45] <L0cKd0wN> Flannel: is there a way via terminal to check that certain users are in a certain group? to make sure I didn't mess it up?
[01:45] <zack_> variant, is there no solution besides reinstall?
[01:45] <gunnar_> Hello, I have the 'no screens found' bug that was reported a few weeks ago.  Could some one point me to a URL that has the info for recovering from it.  ( All I have is lynx for a browser. ) Thanks.

[01:54] <L0cKd0wN> Flannel: hehehe i don't!? lol
[01:55] <stefg> len now see what glxinfo | grep direct spits out
[01:55] <len_> stefg: direct rendering: No
[01:56] <stefg> len is this a laptop/budget system with shared video memory?
[01:57] <len_> stefg: no, it's a strandard desktop pc
[01:57] <L0cKd0wN> Flannel: ok i think that did the trick
[01:57] <L0cKd0wN> gonna test it :)
[01:57] <Flannel> L0cKd0wN: if it's on an entire mountpoint, you probably want to use the umask in the fstab, instead of chmod/chown
[01:57] <czer323> Flannel: LOL, so I logged in Single User (Recovery mode) and looked at the /etc/password and /etc/shadow and neither one have any user entries that I would have created.  ANy other places to look?
[01:58] <Flannel> czer323: you sure you didn't do an OEM install?
[01:58] <Flannel> czer323: and, it's hardly a lost cause, just make a user ;)
[01:58] <czer323> Flannel> If i had, I could log in with OEM... And I can't.
[01:58] <botxj> how do i create "symbolic links" ?
[01:58] <phaedrus44> how does one write to an ntfs or fat32 partition from ubunut?
[01:58] <L0cKd0wN> Flannel: i didn't even think of that!
[01:58] <botxj> how do i create "symbolic links" in ubuntu?
[01:59] <Flannel> phaedrus44: fat32 -- just like normal, ntfs (you don't, it's unsafe, you can hose your whole drive, but if you REALLY want to, see !fuse)
[01:59] <echostorm> hey guys, anyone know what the command is to remove the 386 kerenl from my system? im sick of seeing updates for it and in grub , i use the k7 kernel... I had it written down somewhere and cant find it now
[01:59] <len_> stefg: so, no ideia?
[01:59] <stefg> len_, hmm, strange. nvidia stuff is normally well supported, so i don't know why your card thinks it's not dri -capable. what does glxgears -printfps say?
[01:59] <Flannel> echostorm: just remove it via apt
[01:59] <echostorm> ok
[01:59] <Flannel> echostorm: or, whatever frontend
[01:59] <hondje> echostorm: sudo apt-get remove linux-386
[01:59] <echostorm> ahh
[02:00] <phaedrus44> !fuse
[02:00] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[02:00] <echostorm> thanx thats what i was looking for
[02:00] <len_> stefg: 17510 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3501.898 FPS
[02:00] <EricBlair> Flannel - You are amazing to watch. - Thanks for being here to answer questions.
[02:00] <Flannel> echostorm: you'll probably also want to remove the kernels themselves, and all the older ones ;)  linux-image-version-stuff
[02:00] <acuster> any news of breakage in edgy?
[02:00] <echostorm> yeah, im about to go housecleaning lol
[02:00] <acuster> just upgraded from knot 3 to latest and my system is hosed
[02:01] <stefg> len_: then i think it works, just glxinfo is confused
[02:01] <ricky_> hey peeps
[02:01] <len_> stefg:  I also used 'sudo nvidia-glx-config enable'
[02:01] <phaedrus44> can a windows connect to my system via ftp?
[02:01] <Flannel> acuster: #ubuntu+1 would be more able to tell you
[02:01] <Flannel> phaedrus44: if you have an ftp server
[02:02] <echostorm> theres actually a windows program that will read linux style partitions and fead/write to them in windows... if your trying to make a storage drive you might want to just go that route
[02:02] <elkbuntu> !nz
[02:02] <ubotu> nz is the New Zealand LoCo Team has a channel at #ubuntu-nz
[02:02] <ricky_> does anyone know a website that can tell me how to use xchat? its my first time using it.
[02:02] <echostorm> took me about an hour to figure out but i transfer media between the 2 all the time whenever its needed
[02:02] <phaedrus44> Flannel:   is it quick and easy?  im a moderate linux user
[02:02] <EricBlair> ricky - i think /set help will give you some info
[02:03] <ricky_> ok thanks eric
[02:03] <Flannel> phaedrus44: um, pretty much.  The wiki has some tutorials, there are a few servers
[02:03] <Flannel> !ftp
[02:03] <ubotu> FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd
[02:03] <Flannel> but, just searching for ftp on the wiki will give you a few pages, then manually pick out the ones that look promising ;) (the ones with those servers in them)
[02:03] <botxj> how do i create "symbolic links" in ubuntu?
[02:03] <len_> stefg:  was I supposed to do it?
[02:04] <Flannel> botxj: ln (LiNk)
[02:04] <feross> echostorm: I use a program to read EXT partitions from Windows. Works great.
[02:04] <Flannel> phaedrus44: actually, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer
[02:04] <stefg> len_: doesn't matter after you reconfigured xorg
[02:04] <acuster> thanks Flannel, that's what I needed
[02:04] <k31th> Any one about who can script. currently i type smbldap-passwd username // then it askes for new passwd 2wice, is there any way to make it... smbldap-passwd username password
[02:04] <hondje> botxj: ln -s for sym links, ln by itself is for hardlinks
[02:05] <k31th> ??
[02:06] <echostorm> feross : I use the same thing .. I love it... i just restrict access from linux to windows and vice versa and use a 120gb storage drive for all programs/movies/games i need to transfer or save
[02:06] <ricky_> anyone know a good wireless router i could get??
[02:06] <phaedrus44> this is stoopid but what is my address
[02:07] <ontobach> i have a linksys... older model
[02:07] <ontobach> still great though
[02:07] <morrolan> whoa
[02:07] <phaedrus44> for my ftp server?
[02:07] <morrolan> does anyone know much about wine?  #wine is dead.
[02:07] <hondje> phaedrus44: /whois phaedrus44
[02:07] <jbroome> !wine
[02:07] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[02:07] <hondje> k31th: IIRC, you need to use smbldap tools to make some certs and keys
[02:07] <ricky_> is linksys one anygood? i was looking at a netgear one but i dont know if they are much good?
[02:08] <k31th> hondje: wat
[02:08] <Flannel> phaedrus44: it'd be your IP, if you have a router, you'll need to do some port forwarding.  If this is inside a home network thing, it'll be 192.168.0.XXX, you'll have to look that up
[02:08] <ontobach> I'm sure they're fine.
[02:08] <morrolan> I have a small problem with Wine - my program is installing properly, but there is no text on the installer - missing fonts problem?
[02:08] <k31th> hondje: no i really dont.
[02:08] <hondje> k31th: to make it only ask once
[02:08] <Flannel> ricky_: if youre into hardware hacking, get a wrt54G, one of the older versions (see the wikipedia page)
[02:08] <czer323> Flannel> I'm having a stupid attack.  I created the user with adduser, but how do I give the new user the same abilities to use Su?  Administrative rights?
[02:08] <ricky_> whats the range like for wireless?
[02:09] <bimberi> morrolan: try installing msttcorefonts
[02:09] <hondje> k31th: I could be totally wrong, but that's my recollection. Needless to say I avoid LDAP whne I can :)
[02:09] <EricBlair> morrolan - msttcorefonts, gsfonts, gsfonts-x11 and mozcntrl can help.
[02:09] <feross> hey anyone mess around wifi-radar. I must be missing something. I have a working wpa_supplicant.conf file but when I tell wifi-radar to use wpa it does not work. suggestions?
[02:10] <morrolan> EricBlair: thanks, I'll install them now
[02:10] <k31th> hondje: yeah ldap hell
[02:10] <tjb891> does anyone know how to view the contents of a .dat file from xp?
[02:10] <rathel> where do I add apps I want to load on boot? like I want to load Tuncfg on boot, so I don't have to load it later for hamachi/
[02:10] <brian98> Hi, simple task but finding no luck, how do you clear the places menu?
[02:11] <Flannel> czer323: you do that mostly with groups, admin group, for instance
[02:11] <Sir-Stupcarp> hi, I'm having trouble installing
[02:11] <RamiKassab> hey guys what are some of the best cd rippers out there for linux? I'm looking for one that does MP3s and perhaps other formats, ogg, etc
[02:11] <Sir-Stupcarp> apparently the thing just hangs after the partitioner inits
[02:11] <Sir-Stupcarp> it allows me to use terminals, etc.
[02:12] <Sir-Stupcarp> but it just sits there and the hard drive just blips
[02:12] <Sir-Stupcarp> does nothing
[02:12] <ricky_> sound juicer rips cd's i think
[02:12] <Flannel> RamiKassab: sound juicer, or grip,
[02:12] <RamiKassab> ricky_: I didn't see the ability to do MP3 though
[02:13] <ubuntu> hai all trying ubuntu
[02:13] <Flannel> RamiKassab: you need to add mp3 codecs first,
[02:13] <Flannel> !tell RamiKassab about mp3
[02:13] <RamiKassab> Flannel: can grip do mp3? sound juicer didn't have the option... I may need to install and mp3 codec perhaps
[02:13] <stefg> !mp3

[02:15] <blackelf> bah.
[02:16] <Flannel> RamiKassab: I prefer Grip, ... I think (it's been a while since I've used either) it's because Grip will lookup id3 info... but, of course, I'm still on breezy, thigns might have changed for dapper
[02:16] <rathel> how can I make tuncfg start at boot as root? so I don't have to start it later for hamachi.
[02:16] <stefg> !boot
[02:16] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a bootfloppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[02:16] <RamiKassab> Flannel: ah I got ya... I think sound juicer does that now... it searched the cd directory musicbrainz.org to find titles and what not...
[02:17] <RamiKassab> Flannel: I'm guessing it stores id3 tag info too
[02:17] <ricky_> just add it to ur startup programs in system > preferences > sessions
[02:18] <bagpuss_thecat> evening all
[02:19] <handless> hello everone
[02:19] <ricky_> hey
[02:19] <handless> im stuck again
[02:19] <brian98> Hi, simple task but finding no luck, how do you clear the places menu?
[02:19] <handless> ive tried to find drivers for the x700 mobility but cant
[02:19] <wheelswitch> is there a switch for tar which allows you to make an archive that is split up into multiple files of a particular size?
[02:20] <ricky_> is x700  ati yeah?
[02:20] <ezerhoden> wheelswitch: man tar
[02:20] <juanas33> hey... does anyone know where I can find my c header files for my kernel? im running 2.6.15-27-386
[02:20] <handless> yeah
[02:20] <wheelswitch> yeah, is it the -M option
[02:20] <Flannel> juanas33: you can apt-get them
[02:20] <gpettit> Hi, any suggestions for doing a minimal install?  Just enough to use apt-get to install other packages.  Thanks
[02:20] <bagpuss_thecat> juanas33: if you have module-assistant installed, try running 'module-assistant prepare'
[02:20] <stefg> !info build-essential
[02:20] <ubotu> build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.1 (dapper), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB
[02:20] <wheelswitch> it isnt obvious how you set the size you want
[02:20] <Flannel> gpettit: get the alternate ISO, and type 'server' at the boot prompt
[02:20] <handless> i think from what ive been hearing a and reading that i need new drivers or different drivers for ubuntu to allow me to boot properly
[02:20] <juanas33> Flannel, bagpuss_thecat: thanks
[02:20] <echo1> How do I update a kernel module?  I installed the new fglrx (8.29.6) but the kernel module is 8.25.18
[02:20] <juanas33> Flannel: is there a specific name?
[02:21] <bagpuss_thecat> echo1: module-assistant a-i fglrx-kernel I think
[02:21] <gpettit> thanks flannel, what is the alternalte ISO
[02:21] <mad_man> when i minimize the browser and other programs i lose them. they do not drop down to the panel. how do i get the program to drop down to the panel for easy mazimizing ?
[02:21] <Jack_Smirnoff> Is there a vob to mpeg converter.?
[02:21] <handless> it will only let me boot in safe mode and have a resolution of 1024X768 and my resolution is much higher then that normally cause i have a big widescreen monitor
[02:21] <ricky_> i'm not sure handless
[02:21] <EricBlair> killall gnome-panel ?
[02:22] <afields_> how do I get postgresql odbc drivers installed?
[02:22] <Flannel> gpettit: it's the old textmode installer, no liveCD, available same places you download normal Desktop ISO
[02:22] <czer323> Flannel> I'm having a super hard time.  None of the default groups have been made on this install.  Only root as been made as a group.  Should I be worried? Or just add my user as part of the group root?
[02:22] <echo1> bagpuss is module-assistant a gnome thing?
[02:22] <Jack_Smirnoff> !vob
[02:22] <Flannel> !tell juanas33 about kernel
[02:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vob - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:22] <EricBlair> nvm - the panel will open again
[02:22] <echo1> (im on kubuntu)
[02:22] <Flannel> czer323: er, yeah.  Sounds like the install didn't complete
[02:22] <quiet> aghem..   http://quiet.unixcorps.org/files/linux-flash-9.png
[02:23] <Flannel> czer323: You're probably better off reinstalling, who knows what else isn't installed correctly
[02:23] <gpettit> Flannel: THANKS!
[02:23] <czer323> Flannel> Thanks anway for the help though.  I'm really leary of that text mode cd though.  I'll give it one more go and if it's funky again, it's off to the trashcan.
[02:23] <tjb891> is anyone having trouble updating the flash-nonfree plugin?
[02:24] <Flannel> czer323: I only use the alternate ISO ;)
[02:24] <afields_> I've tried unixodbc and odbcinstdebian1
[02:24] <afields_> neither contains a postgresql driver
[02:24] <Flannel> czer323: you sure you burned it well? nice and slow??
[02:24] <afields_> I did manage to get postgres started
[02:24] <czer323> Flannel> It was probably 32x.  I might look into reburning if it errors again.
[02:24] <ricky_> yeah i couldnt get it to install yesterday so i installed the adobe one
[02:24] <afields_> so postgres-8.1 package does work
[02:24] <Flannel> czer323: 4x is recommended
[02:25] <afields_> however it has a bad default config which bombs the configure scripts
[02:26] <slugsworth> what might cause the C compiler to be unable to create executables?
[02:26] <Flannel> slugsworth: you don't have one ;)  install build-essential
[02:26] <Flannel> slugsworth: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:26] <ricky_> lol
[02:26] <slugsworth> thanks!  :)
[02:27] <slugsworth> The guide I'm trying to follow to get my PCMCIA sound card doesn't list the required setup
[02:27] <grimx> i downloaded and installed BitTorrent and installed it using(sudo alien) . now how do i run BitTorrent
[02:27] <ladydoor> grimx: isn't there a native ubuntu build of bunches of bittorrent clients
[02:28] <Flannel> !info bittorrent
[02:28] <ubotu> bittorrent: Scatter-gather network file transfer. In component main, is optional. Version 3.4.2-6ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 92 kB, installed size 580 kB
[02:28] <Flannel> yes
[02:28] <grimx> yes but i cant find the app to run it
[02:28] <morrolan> EricBlair:  I already have all of those font packages installed, but still no fonts in wine?
[02:28] <Flannel> grimx: remove that one, install the one fro mthe repository, it'll have a menu item
[02:29] <grimx> i did the sys install of bittorrent but can't find it to execute it
[02:29] <ricky_> whats the best bittorret client to use with ubunty anyway??
[02:29] <afields_> Where do I get odbc-postgresql ?
[02:29] <EricBlair> morrolan - hm - I don't know what to suggest.
[02:29] <ladydoor> ricky_: there are a lot. bittorrent. bittornado. azureus
[02:29] <ladydoor> ricky_: it's a matter of preference
[02:30] <mosila> hi, anybady
[02:30] <ricky_> see i liked utorrent on windows
[02:30] <ricky_> but i have to go through wine to use it on linux
[02:30] <cyphase> how do you check your CPU model in ubuntu?
[02:31] <EricBlair> uname
[02:31] <cyphase> --processor isn't working
[02:31] <TigerCR1200> ricky_, I have been using ktorrent it is close enough to utorrent, however it is a kde app so it uses more memory due to loading kde libraries
[02:31] <blackelf> uname -a
[02:31] <spdf> cat /proc/cpuinfo
[02:31] <blackelf> also cpuid
[02:31] <EricBlair> spdf - has it.
[02:31] <ladydoor> ricky_: you might like azureus or bittornado-gui
[02:31] <grimx> i installed bittorrent using synaptic package manager now how do i run bittorrent
[02:32] <jrib> grimx: applications > internet > bittorrent
[02:32] <Megaqwerty> I've been having many problems with various programs where they all said "failed: Cannot assign requested address" does anyone know how to fix this?
[02:32] <Megaqwerty> *this problem
[02:32] <grimx> it does not show up there
[02:32] <ricky_> don't really like bittornado, doesnt really show enough info i think, where can i get ktorrent to install
[02:33] <spdf> ktorrent is in the repos
[02:33] <Megaqwerty> grimx: try Alt-F2 bittorent, that may do it
[02:34] <Megaqwerty> I don't have bittorent so I don't know what command you would use to run it, but it would be something along those lines. Unless you were using KDE, as KDE seems to be very good about putting all your apps in the taskbar
[02:34] <grimx> that did not work either
[02:34] <Megaqwerty> try man -k torrent see what commands you get in there
[02:34] <jrib> grimx: install gnome-btdownload
[02:34] <Flannel> grimx: go into synaptic, make sure you can see details, then go to the package, and you can check what files it installed, and with that, the executable name, then do that in the run dialog
[02:36] <ricky_> hey, does ubuntu have a thing like windows device manager, that shows if something isnt installed properly or doesnt have a driver???
[02:36] <grimx> got it thanx Flannel and jrib
[02:36] <Megaqwerty> I've been having this problem with various programs where they all said "failed: Cannot assign requested address" does anyone know how to fix this?
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Is there a good easy tool to take non commercial vob's from a dvd and make them into mpg for use in a powerpoint display?
[02:37] <EricBlair> mencoder??
[02:37] <ludedeeds> morning already Jack?
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> It needs to be simple enough for a high school teacher
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Non morning yet, helping a friend
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> ludedeeds: Is it still working
[02:39] <ludedeeds> yeah.. but since you went to bed... i didn't wait and see if it was still broken.. lol.. figured i'd find out when > I < went to bed =P
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> ludedeeds: The fact that it was working lat long was encouraging
[02:39] <ludedeeds> yeah, but i was using the internet nearly the entire time, for apt-get's
[02:40] <grimx> ok bittorrent shows up in applications menu but when i click it nothing show up on screen
[02:40] <spdf> Jack_Sparrow: You could use dvdrip, cut down on file size too by using avi's
[02:40] <ludedeeds> and from what i was noticing before, it only went down on idle time
[02:40] <bmcfarli> any oh you guys happen to use banshee?
[02:40] <Jack_Sparrow> spdf: He would still need to convert those avi to mpg for powerpoint would he not?
[02:41] <Axidus> does anyone know where the compiler is for Ubuntu dapper drake?
[02:41] <spdf> Jack_Sparrow: AVI's will work in powerpoint
[02:41] <ludedeeds> would depend if it were a divx avi, or a standard avi
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> spdf: SHows how much I know about powerpoint..
[02:41] <echo1_> bagpuss_thecat: how goes your kernel module changing?
[02:42] <Megaqwerty>  I've been having this problem with various programs where they all said "failed: Cannot assign requested address" does anyone know how to fix this?
[02:42] <Jack_Sparrow> spdf: Let me simplify the question... I need to convert vob's for use in powerpoint ... dont care about the file type, just need to keep it simple... He teaches auto shop if that is any clue
[02:42] <dunkel> just a quickie, how do i restart X? dont want to close programs...
[02:42] <bagpuss_thecat> echo1_: not done it yet, still dist-upgrading to edgy :-)
[02:43] <TigerCR1200> dunkel, not possible but ctrl alt backspace will restart it.
[02:43] <ChaosFan> dunkel: as graphical programs are clients of the xserver they won't continue running when restarting X
[02:43] <dunkel> oh, i see...thanks!
[02:44] <spdf> Jack_Sparrow: Hmm, in windows I gather
[02:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Megaqwerty: I must ask... Have you run scripts like Automatix, (NOT recommending that you do.) to install anything?
[02:44] <spudds> I know this is a generic Linux question but I just added a new Hard drive.  How do I actually get it added to the system so I can use it?
[02:44] <bmcfarli> hey guys whats the best itunes like media player?
[02:44] <Megaqwerty> Jack_Sparrow I may have in the past
[02:44] <spdf> bmcfarli: Rythmbox does a decent job
[02:44] <JackONeill> I installed ubuntu then installed windows after (side by side) - how can I get grub back?
[02:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Megaqwerty: Scary how doing that comes back to haunt people
[02:44] <EricBlair> !grub
[02:44] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:44] <Megaqwerty> I screwed something up didn't I?
[02:45] <Megaqwerty> Jack_Sparrow: Is there some way to fix that without re-installing ubuntu?
[02:45] <Megaqwerty> p.s. I think I used EasyUbuntu
[02:45] <bmcfarli> spdf, i like banshee or listen music player, but both crash anything like those, but dont crash/
[02:45] <spudds> Is there a howto anywhere describing how to add a new HD to Ubuntu?
[02:46] <ladydoor> spudds: do you know the device name?
[02:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Megaqwerty: I dont mean to be curt... But I am exhausted...  I really dont have the time or energy to try and untangle the mess that Automatix can make of a system
[02:46] <_tom_> !mount
[02:46] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[02:46] <Megaqwerty> Damn
[02:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Megaqwerty: Easyubuntu is better than it was....
[02:46] <spudds> ladydoor: it's a scsi disk sdb?  I don't have an x environment btw.  Is it mkfs?
[02:46] <Megaqwerty> Jack_Sparrow: is there a guide somewhere I could use?
[02:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Megaqwerty: SOmeone may be able to get you fixed up.. let them know what all you have tried..
[02:47] <ladydoor> spudds: errrr...that's not what i meant. ok...basically there's file in your /etc dir called fstab, which has information about all of your partitions. to mount it, you need to tell ubuntu about it
[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> ludedeeds: Let me know tomorrow if that fixed the problem you were having.. If so I will add it to my notes..
[02:48] <ricky_> anyone know what ports i have to allow on firestarter for ktorrent to work properly?
[02:48] <ladydoor> spudds: to look at the sort of "device name" you'll be looking for, do less /etc/fstab to look at the file. other than that, i've got nothing on this :-)
[02:48] <Megaqwerty> Can someone help me fix the damage Automatix and/or EasyUbuntu may or may not have done to my system?
[02:48] <ladydoor> Megaqwerty: go to #automatix
[02:48] <spudds> ladydoor:  This is a a new disk.  Will it show in the fstab?
[02:48] <Megaqwerty> thanks
[02:48] <bmcfarli> what can automatix do?
[02:48] <tritium> Megaqwerty: that's why we recommend avoiding automatix
[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> ricky_: I use guarddog firewall manager.. it shows the different programs and types of access...
[02:48] <Megaqwerty> lol
[02:48] <ladydoor> spudds: it will if you put it there. i'm suggesting you look at it so you'll know what you're looking for :-)
[02:49] <Megaqwerty> yeah, I used it when I knew nothing about Linux
[02:49] <Jack_Sparrow> bmcfarli: Automatix can hose your system beyond repair
[02:49] <Flannel> bmcfarli: it can break your system, really well.
[02:49] <Megaqwerty> I read it was helpful in Linux Format Magazine. Stupid me.
[02:49] <ricky_> do you think guarddog is better that firestarter?
[02:49] <bmcfarli> how do you know if it hosed your system?
[02:49] <bmcfarli> b/c noob me...i used it
[02:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !best
[02:49] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[02:50] <Jack_Sparrow> ricky_: Do I like it better.. yes...
[02:50] <sess> !worst
[02:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about worst - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:50] <ricky_> is guard dog in the respos?
[02:50] <Jack_Sparrow> I think so...
[02:50] <ricky_> must just check here
[02:50] <spudds> ladydoor:  I've looked in fstab.  I understand the general format of it from Sun/HP/etc.  Looking in the /dev directory, I see a device called sdb, which I assume is my new 2nd physical hard-drive.  Don't know what to do now...
[02:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Yes it is
[02:51] <ladydoor> bmcfarli: you'd probably know
[02:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Once again... goodnight all
[02:51] <ricky_> ok, does it have a gui an all, just b4 i try it?
[02:51] <ladydoor> spudds: sweet! that's good news. now, do sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb to see the partition name(s) on it
[02:51] <tritium> ricky_: apt-cache search can look for things in the repos, as can a search via synaptic
[02:51] <Jack_Sparrow> ricky_: yes
[02:51] <ricky_> thanks
[02:51] <spudds> ladydoor:  k, trying.
[02:52] <ladydoor> spudds: coool...
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> ricky_: Leave me a note if you like it just so I know...
[02:52] <ricky_> will do
[02:52] <spudds> ladydoor: shows all the guts and then says there isn't a valid partition table (which I would expect)
[02:52] <ladydoor> spudds: aha! ok, and you say you're *not* in x?
[02:52] <ricky_> lol but first how do ya uninstall firestarter.... just through the packet manager?
[02:53] <spudds> ladydoor: no.  do I do a fdisk, create one large partition, do a makefs, then mount?
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> ricky_: No need to uninstall firestarter
[02:53] <gunnar_> Hello, I have the 'no screens found' bug that was reported a few weeks ago.  Could some one point me to a URL that has the info for recovering from it.  ( All I have is lynx for a browser. ) I even tried to do a dist-upgrade.  That didn't work either.  Thanks.
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> they are just managers
[02:53] <tjb891> when i try to install flash it gives me a error message, how can i fix this?
[02:53] <ricky_> ?? would 2 firewalls not conflict?
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Not actual firewalls
[02:53] <ricky_> ooooohhh right sorry
[02:54] <Jack_Sparrow> tjb891: http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/08/install-mozilla-flash-plugin-in-ubuntu.html
[02:54] <ladydoor> spudds: you could do that, yeah, sounds like you know what you're doing (better than i do when it comes to fdisk, actually). so i guess do that and then do sudo fdisk -l again, and then put the line for that partition in fstab & mount it.
[02:54] <flamesro1k> guys, I'm having REAL trouble setting up this dlink repeater. Now I'm supposed to connect it to the machine, and then type into the address bar <IP_ADDRESS>, but how do I hook gentoo up to range extender?
[02:54] <flamesro1k> like how do I ifconfig it?
[02:54] <flamesro1k> its connected via ethernet
[02:55] <ricky_> Jack i've installed it but theres no icon under apps?
[02:55] <tritium> flamesro1k: this is not a gentoo channel
[02:55] <fmasi> helo I would like to know how bi should a /tmp partition be ? any sugestion
[02:55] <spudds> ladydoor: thanks lady.  done it many times in Sun but unsure in linux. thx for the help.
[02:56] <flamesro1k> nah, this is actually on edgy eft, I just retyped what I had in #gentoo, but nobody could help
[02:56] <flamesro1k> do you know tritium ?
[02:56] <bmcfarli> yeah I havent noticed anything other than some programs hang.
[02:56] <tritium> fmasi: don't make one.  /tmp is now in ram
[02:56] <ladydoor> spudds: np! i think you would've gotten there on your own :-)

[03:05] <JackONeill> how do I use the 5.10 live cd without it loading X!?
[03:05] <ladydoor> spudds: swweeeeeeet!
[03:05] <ladydoor> spudds: :-)
[03:05] <gnomefreak> regx: this is not the channel for it join #ubuntu-offtopic and complain about being bored
[03:05] <regx> ya ya
[03:06] <gnomefreak> JackONeill: no such thing as a live cd for 5.10
[03:06] <bmcfarli> oh guys, i have random CPU spikes. How do I see what is causing it?
[03:06] <JackONeill> umm... there was, came with the pack
[03:06] <carlos> when I type apt-get install flex I receive the message, translated for english: the flex package in unavaible, but it referenced by another package... The flex package has no candidates
[03:06] <gnomefreak> oh yeah nvm
[03:07] <JackONeill> so how can I get it to NOT load X and just give me a prompt for restoring grub?
[03:07] <gnomefreak> JackONeill: the live cd is gonna load X by default there is not a way to change that
[03:07] <JackONeill> god damn it
[03:07] <Rug> bmcfarli: top
[03:07] <gnomefreak> JackONeill: watch your language
[03:07] <gnomefreak> !grub > JackONeill
[03:07] <JackONeill> well X won't load - don't ask why I fixerd it on my actually installed ubbuntu]
[03:07] <gnomefreak> JackONeill: read that
[03:07] <JackONeill> i knnow about grub ffs
[03:08] <gnomefreak> JackONeill: not by the sounds of it
[03:08] <gnomefreak> JackONeill: the site has a way to fix grub with install cd
[03:08] <JackONeill> I just need a prompt, and I can't use X
[03:08] <JackONeill> yeah well I cba with that
[03:08] <Rug> gnomefreak: Which part was offencive?  god?  it?  or damn?
[03:08] <EricBlair> http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/f/flex/   This is the link for flex - it might be incompatible.
[03:08] <gnomefreak> Rug: all of the above
[03:08] <ChaosFan> JackONeill: what about something like a gentoo install cd, actually, these _are_ live cds without X
[03:08] <JackONeill> Rug: none of it... he is just being pretentious
[03:09] <czer323> Flannel>If you're still around, I finally got the installation back up and it looks good.
[03:09] <gnomefreak> Rug: some religons concider that blasphimy
[03:09] <JackONeill> Uncalled for
[03:09] <gnomefreak> JackONeill: it was very called for
[03:09] <JackONeill> Nonsense
[03:09] <JackONeill> You just can't take critism
[03:09] <slugsworth> Can someone help me troubleshoot a PCMCIA sound card?  I think the problem is getting hotplug working / loading the firmware for the card.
[03:09] <gnomefreak> JackONeill: what you said was offensive to some people
[03:10] <JackONeill> Name one
[03:10] <gnomefreak> a cristian
[03:10] <tritium> JackONeill: yellow card
[03:10] <gnomefreak> JackONeill: this is not a debate read the coc if you have any questions
[03:10] <JackONeill> the cock?
[03:10] <gnomefreak> ty
[03:10] <slugsworth> he's a troll, thanks.
[03:10] <ladydoor> tritium ++
[03:11] <EricBlair> tritium - yuo were very patient.
[03:11] <slugsworth> Anyone?  Indigo IO soundcard?  I think I'm not getting hotplug set up correctly... having problems getting the firmware for the card loaded.
[03:11] <redblades> Hi all.
[03:11] <tritium> EricBlair: thanks :0
[03:11] <carlos> Ok... I can download a tar.gz flex file.. but I don`t know how to install it anyway... I don`t know much about linux... What should I do? Unpack? Use 'Make'?
[03:12] <jrib> carlos: did you read what I said before?
[03:12] <redblades> I was wondering, how to you upgrade packages from the shell?
[03:12] <slugsworth> sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:12] <jrib> !apt > redblades
[03:12] <redblades> Thanks!
[03:12] <Rug> gnomefreak: I heard this story once; the story was about a guy how who had a dream.  In that dream _god_ told the guy to build a _dam_. He woke up, wondering how to build _it_. "I know he said, I'll use some _damn_ wood!"
[03:12] <ORI0N-1> hi, i need help with something... I'm completly new to linux, i just installed ubuntu on my system.. i downloaded a mp3 player.. installed the package, but I cannot run the program...

[03:12] <rmd> Adobe hasn't released Flash 8 for Linux yet, have they?
[03:12] <Code-E> How do I change my resolution
[03:12] <gnomefreak> Rug: dont go there
[03:12] <jrib> rmd: no, and they are not planning on releasing 8.  Going straight to 9
[03:13] <TigerCR1200> rmd, no
[03:13] <gnomefreak> rmd: not going to
[03:13] <Code-E> I'm pretty sure i have my ati drivers installed
[03:13] <jrib> ORI0N-1: what player?
[03:13] <rmd> not going to?
[03:13] <rmd> hmm
[03:13] <gnomefreak> rmd: no
[03:13] <gnomefreak> rmd: straight to 9
[03:13] <slugsworth> Code-E:  System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution?
[03:13] <rmd> that doesnt help me access this page that says i need flash 8, :-P
[03:14] <Max_-> ubuntu + windows XP on a laptop with software RAID1.. is this possible?????
[03:14] <Code-E> slugsworth: only allowing 640x748
[03:14] <EricBlair> you can run nsudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file directly adding the needed resolution
[03:14] <dunkel> is it possible to give read only rights to my ntfs-3g partitions for users other than root? now they have all rights and i cant modify permissions even as root (sudo nautilus)
[03:14] <jrib> carlos: do you know what I am referring to?
[03:14] <EricBlair> *sudo
[03:14] <gnomefreak> rmd: ask them flash is non-free

[03:15] <gnomefreak> ORI0N-1: its in your pm
[03:15] <jrib> rmd: it is possible to get flash 9, you just have to run firefox in wine... if you really need it
[03:15] <zack_> could anyone explain to me why the command startx will only bring up gnome from root. when in non root i always get a error
[03:15] <slugsworth> Code-E: ew...  :(    My guess is that the video drivers aren't configured properly / correctly installed - did it allow a higher resolution when you had the default drivers installed?  Are you still using the default drivers, or did you try to install some newer ATI ones?
[03:15] <niki_> hi all...i'm following a tutorial to fix ati drivers....in it, it says to change "ati" to "fglrx" in the DEVICE section...but i have _two_ device sections.  is this normal, or do i need to delete one of them?
[03:15] <zack_> could anyone explain to me why the command startx will only bring up gnome from root. when in non root i always get a error
[03:15] <Josti> @dunkel: u can set the user id and group id via mount options uid and gid
[03:15] <gnomefreak> jrib: there a hack to use flash 8 in ubuntu (but its just that a hack)
[03:15] <ladydoor> zack_: what error would that be?
[03:15] <Megaqwerty> is there a way I can re-install ubuntu (Remove all programs, etc.) but keep my files? Or do I have to back them all up to a USB drive?
[03:16] <dunkel> Josti: in fstab?
[03:16] <ladydoor> zack_: if it's long, use paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[03:16] <jrib> gnomefreak: interesting
[03:16] <carlos> jrib: want me to send my source.list?
[03:16] <Code-E> slugsworth: i just updated the driver through the link ubotu said
[03:16] <zack_> ladydoor, how do i paste i there?
[03:16] <ORI0N-1> gnomefreak -> my pm?
[03:16] <jrib> carlos: sure, make a post on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give us a link
[03:16] <ladydoor> zack_: visit the site and you'll see
[03:16] <gnomefreak> Megaqwerty: backup your files on a disk or usb stick or a seperate partition
[03:16] <slugsworth> Does anyone still use hotplug?  I'm having problems getting it set up correctly, and unfortunately my soundcard requires it in order to load the correct firmware.
[03:16] <Megaqwerty> thanks
[03:16] <gnomefreak> ORI0N-1: are you using xchat?
[03:16] <ORI0N-1> i'm using Gaim
[03:16] <Josti> niki: you have a device section for every device installed, only change the driver in the device section matching your ATI Card (look @ description)
[03:17] <Josti> @dunkel: yeah, or via -o switch whe mounting in terminal
[03:17] <gnomefreak> ORI0N-1: im not sure how to  view private messages in gaim
[03:17] <EricBlair> dunkel - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24161  This script will find and mount all available partitions with the choice of either root or the logged user.
[03:18] <dunkel> ok, thanks
[03:18] <ORI0N-1> how do i run an installed package?
[03:18] <Code-E> i cant pm you back slugsworth but thanks
[03:18] <jrib> ORI0N-1: which package?

[03:23] <weakwire> help
[03:23] <grouchytim> help with dns please?
[03:24] <jrib> !repos > carlos
[03:24] <raul> friends, I have a problem with /var, I just move to another partition and write the change into fstab, but starting the system tray to create /var/lock first to mount /var, I already put "/dev/sda3       /var            ext3    nosuid,noexec,nodev     0       2" just below the root mounting line, but nothing change and nothing that use /var is working well
[03:24] <alex_mayorga> I've just installed the Dapper and I'm seeing an oddity that wont let me sign in
[03:24] <jrib> carlos: after enabling the online repositories, you should be able to install flex using synaptic
[03:24] <orbital04> Hi, what is the dhcp daemon used by Ubuntu 6.0....I would like to run it from the command line sometimes...thanx

[03:25] <carlos> jrib: ok... thank you! =)
[03:25] <jrib> ORI0N-1: the default one in GNOME is rhythmbox (applications > sound & video), but for it to play mp3's you need to isntall some extra packages.  ubotu will link you to the info, check your private messages
[03:25] <jrib> !mp3 > ORI0N-1
[03:25] <dpoc> okay, i have a weird problem iwas hoping you could help me with. at random times for reasons I don't know, my monitor decides to randomly shut off like it's not even connected to the computer. i've tried using multiple monitors and reattached all my cords, so I know the problem isn't coming from my monitor or cords. can anyone help me?
[03:25] <alex_mayorga> anyone?
[03:25] <grouchytim> thanx eric but the issue is i am static and going thru another linux router but the new ubuntu doesn't seem to have options for naming your dns servers

[03:27] <naut> just installed dapper 6.06.1
[03:27] <ChaosFan> zack_: with 2>&1 you make sure warnings and errors get to the file, too
[03:27] <naut> adept_updater seems very buggy
[03:27] <raul> anybody helpme with my /etc/fstab
[03:27] <jojoman02> raul, whats the problem?
[03:28] <ChaosFan> zack_: and > /path/to/file redirects std output to a file

[03:29] <bleck> easyubuntu gives message "Unable to determine desktop environment, falling back to kdesu".  Anyone run into that before?
[03:29] <jojoman02> raul: why do you wanna change the partition for var?
[03:30] <grouchytim> and my gateway address seems to disappear everytime i get out of it too

[03:38] <UdontKnow> aNdre: pare de fazer flood aqui. e use o #ubuntu-br para portugues. aqui eh ingles :)
[03:38] <EricBlair> aNdre - #buntu-es ?
[03:38] <UdontKnow> EricBlair: -br
[03:38] <EricBlair> ubuntu-pt
[03:38] <Josti> @jojoman02: you can get the blocksize by doing "ls -al" in a directory on the disk if its still mountable and looking for the size of a directory
[03:38] <aNdre> 01
[03:38] <EricBlair> We will try to help here. if we can...
[03:38] <jojoman02> Josti: everything in the parition got wiped...
[03:39] <jojoman02> Josti, i will try that tho
[03:39] <Hor|zon> zack: do you use a wacom?
[03:39] <Hor|zon> zack_*
[03:39] <Josti> @jojoman02: wait, much easier....
[03:39] <zack_> hor|zon, im not sure what wacom even is i have never noticed it until this error
[03:39] <ludedeeds> what's the best p2p software under linux? something like limewire or shareaza or something...
[03:40] <Hor|zon> zack_, just delete the wacom devices from your xorg.conf then
[03:40] <Josti> @jojoman02: dumpe2fs /dev/xxx | grep size
[03:40] <Hor|zon> you'll know what I mean when you look
[03:40] <carlos> how can I install the basic C libraries like stdio.h ?
[03:41] <Hor|zon> also make sure to remove them from the ServerLayout section aswell
[03:41] <zack_> hor|zon should i put # before the lines or just erase them
[03:41] <oliver_savage> bl4cktone maybe look into fluxus, vision egg, avs on sourceforge, maybe projectM, not XGL but cool in their own right.
[03:41] <Hor|zon> it's safe to erase them but backup your xorg.conf incase you do soemthing wrong
[03:41] <Hor|zon> something*
[03:41] <Josti> jojoman02: worked?
[03:41] <ChaosFan> zack_: or just use # instead of backing up
[03:42] <grouchytim> weird now i'm getting an authentication rejected error when i start network-admin
[03:42] <bl4cktone> Oliver_savage: I'm just using Compiz and wanted to add to it :)
[03:42] <jojoman02> Josti: well lets try recovering to tell...
[03:43] <Hor|zon> ChaosFan, lol I don't because I don't like messy files and there's no point them even being there...I don't know why xorg loves to add them
[03:43] <raul> anyone with experience in linux filesystem????
[03:43] <lastnode> raul, what do you need?

[03:44] <raul> lastnode: my system is traying to creeate /var/lock before mount /var
[03:44] <terlmann> but it seems that it is all broken(a little bit all over)
[03:44] <Hor|zon> ChaosFan, we know what is up...it's looking for /dev/wacom which it can't find
[03:44] <lastnode> terlmann, that is to be expected, and edgy discussions should go in #ubuntu+1, please
[03:45] <lastnode> raul, is this during init?
