[04:30] <verve> alright then
[04:30] <ttw> ad: yeah, it's not cool and it's not clever
[04:30] <_james> stef: im just  new to linux i don't know how :(
[04:30] <g333k_work> stefg, nothing
[04:30] <francois> what should i do now ?
[04:31] <ttw> francois: no your other computers what addresses do they have -- that will put us in the correct subnet and we can just manually assign your box and address and test that
[04:31] <Trygve_no> stefg: Thanks, is this the best way to do it?
[04:31] <Trygve_no> looks a bit intimidating
[04:31] <francois> <IP_ADDRESS> ect...
[04:31] <verve> afk
[04:31] <stefg> g333k_work: what i can tell is that the x driver for vnc-server is missing... maybe it's not vino, but one of the other vncservers available... or a separate 'driver'-package for worg
[04:32] <verve> oh oh, i used another abbreviation!
[04:32] <verve> LOLFBICIA
[04:32] <stefg> *xorg
[04:32] <higi__> how do I unmount in edgy?
[04:32] <higi__> a partition
[04:32] <ikonia> stefg its an X11vnc server
[04:32] <ttw> francois: ok, now pick one you know isn't used and assign that manually to your ubuntu box and give it the same default route and dns server addresses as your other boxes
[04:32] <ikonia> its a sepereate package
[04:32] <francois> before i reinstalled ubuntu with this comp , he had <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:32] <francois> ok
[04:32] <ttw> francois: perfect, use that
[04:32] <devilsadvocate> higi__, sudo unmout <mountpoint>
[04:32] <ad_> higi__, same way as unmounting in dapper
[04:32] <higi__> it tells me unmount does not exist
[04:33] <Pici> higi__ the command's name is umount for specific syntax, check the man page
[04:33] <ikonia> higi__ its umount
[04:33] <ttw> francois: sounds like you've been manually assigning addresses before ?? no ?
[04:33] <ad_> higi__, the command is umount, not unmount
[04:33] <francois> no ttw
[04:33] <ikonia> stefg gee thanks
[04:33] <higi__> ah
[04:33] <devilsadvocate> s/unmout/umount
[04:33] <higi__> thanks!
[04:33] <ttw> oh, strange that's not getting one now ? ? ? doesn't matter just manually assign one, then you can test and go from there
[04:34] <NetCruZa> Does anyone know of a good Packet Editor for Linux?
[04:34] <NetCruZa> I need to be able to resend and modify packages?
[04:34] <ad_> NetCruZa, did you search synaptic?
[04:34] <NetCruZa> *packets
[04:34] <francois> done it and internet still not working
[04:34] <ttw> hang on, hang on -- what was the default route ?
[04:35] <g333k_work> ikonia, I have installed x11vnc and I still dont have libvnc.so
[04:35] <NetCruZa> ad_ for Packet Sniffer? Only problem is theres lot of packet sniffers, but none with the functions of like WPE Pro for Windows
[04:35] <amicrawler> i need help please
[04:35] <francois> whats the default route ?
[04:35] <ad_> NetCruZa, i have no idea what you're talking about, but generally that's how you start looking for a program
[04:36] <amicrawler> i need help please
[04:36] <ikonia> g333k_work sorry, I missed that message the screen scrolled too fast
[04:36] <ttw> what address did you assign as the default route / gateway / whatever it's called again
[04:36] <ikonia> amicrawler it is then
[04:36] <g333k_work> ikonia, I have installed x11vnc and I still dont have libvnc.so
[04:36] <francois> <IP_ADDRESS> like my other compyters
[04:36] <ikonia> g333k_work just to be certain run a find for it - but doesn't it come as part of the xorgX11-dev or -libs package ?
[04:37] <ttw> francois: no, that's your subnet mask
[04:37] <francois> er
[04:37] <ikonia> g333k_work x11vnc-dev package or -libs package
[04:37] <NetCruZa> ad_ okay... i might have found something useful... Netsed
[04:37] <francois> <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[04:37] <g333k_work> ikonia, is there a x11vnc-dev ? I dont think so...
[04:37] <amicrawler> i need help in setting up a wireless nic
[04:37] <ttw> francois: that sounds right -- you need to put that in your network configuration too ... that will probably be your DNS server too so add that or you'll still be stuck
[04:38] <ikonia> g333k_work do a find on your file system - make sure the files not installed somewhere
[04:38] <amicrawler> installed the ndwrapper
[04:38] <g333k_work> ikonia, the question is how can I know the pkg that contains this file?
[04:38] <J_P> hi all
[04:38] <ikonia> g333k_work there is a dpkg option that will tell you - man dpkg
[04:38] <ttw> amicrawler: you need to search the FAQs for that one, it's pretty standard stuff -- i assume you're not getting an adapter listed when you do 'ifconfig -a'
[04:39] <amicrawler> yes
[04:39] <francois> done ttw and now ?
[04:39] <ttw> ok, search the forums. basically you need to pull the windows driver in from the cd and start nsdiswrapper
[04:39] <ttw> francois: ok try and ping your own address first <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:40] <ctqucl> join #ubuntu-cn
[04:40] <amicrawler> i downloaded it
[04:40] <amicrawler> and got the inf file
[04:40] <francois> ping working fine ttw
[04:40] <ttw> ok, now the gateway; <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:40] <francois> not working ttw
[04:41] <matsmob> he cant ping your gateway
[04:41] <Azul> how can i convert .wma files to .mp3?
[04:41] <Azul> or maybe have wma support in gnome baker
[04:41] <jkimball4> If when I try to restart my computer, the system goes down, but doesn't actually restart, what could the issue be?  Would that be a setting somewhere?
[04:41] <ttw> does the lan light on your hub / switch / router and/or the lan light on your network card flash when you ping ?
[04:41] <Enverex> Azul, Are they DRM protected?
[04:42] <Azul> Enverex, no
[04:42] <Enverex> Azul, Also transcoding from lossy format to lossy will make it sound much worse
[04:42] <axa-axa> Hi. I use ADSL connection, which I start with `sudo pppoe-start`. Is there some pannel applet which I could click (select from menu) to do this for me and disconnect when I wan to?
[04:42] <francois> ping work but with 912313 ms ttw :/
[04:42] <Azul> Enverex, it's the only way i can get gnome baker to burn em
[04:42] <amicrawler> axa  u run dsl
[04:42] <amicrawler> so do i
[04:42] <Enverex> Azul, Convert them to WAV then, not MP3 to burn them
[04:42] <ttw> francois: ok, that's not working.  you got something bad[tm]  there
[04:43] <samalex> hey guys.  i'm downloading ubuntu 6.10, and it'll be my first Linux box to setup for a workstation/desktop system in some time.  I was 100% linux for years until I switched my desktop to OSX 3 years ago, but now I'm wanting to go back to LInux.
[04:43] <Azul> Enverex, ok, how do i do that?
[04:43] <Azul> samalex, so what's the problem?
[04:43] <Enverex> Azul, No idea, but it's a better thing to look for than WMA to MP3
[04:43] <ikonia> samalex thats great - why are you telling us your history ?
[04:43] <francois> keep on mac os x samalex ^^
[04:43] <ttw> would appear that your router doesn't like your box -- do you have a USB connection to the same router ?
[04:43] <Azul> Enverex, but you just said to use WAV and not MP3
[04:43] <francois> no
[04:44] <francois> only ethernet and wifi
[04:44] <samalex> i'm just introducing myself to the group as I hoped to hang in here during installation...
[04:44] <Azul> Enverex, oh, i get it
[04:44] <Azul> never mind
[04:44] <Azul> thanks
[04:44] <ttw> and you're obviously connected via ethernet
[04:44] <francois> yeap
[04:45] <jikanter> great samalex, let us know if you have any problems
[04:45] <higiraven> stefg
[04:45] <ttw> that's particularly weird -- try restarting the network againg now you have the correct connection settings -- if that fails try a power cycle (not a reboot)
[04:45] <francois> i restart the modem ?
[04:45] <ttw> francois: both
[04:46] <francois> okay so brb
[04:46] <axa-axa> Hi. I use ADSL connection, which I start with `sudo pppoe-start`. Is there some pannel applet which I could click (select from menu) to do this for me and disconnect when I wan to?
[04:47] <jharr> axa-axa: If you're in gnome: right click -> add to panel -> custom launcher
[04:47] <matthias> hi. i want to use my usb printer (Canon ip4200) in my virtual system (VMWare: Host: Ubuntu | Guest: WinXPPro), but windows only gets an unknown device @ usb port
[04:47] <jharr> axa-axa: only use gksudo instead of sudo
[04:47] <kim0> Hi, I am back to ubuntu. The 6.10 Desktop CD is what will install to hard-drive, right ?
[04:47] <matthias> what do i have to do to make windows able to use an usb device?
[04:48] <Jowi> kim0, all CDs will install to harddrive.
[04:48] <ttw> matthias: probably want an vmware channel for that one
[04:48] <kim0> Jowi: perfect ...
[04:48] <jharr> kim0: Desktop CD is a live CD with an installer application.
[04:48] <axa-axa> jharr: Yes I thought about that as a last resort, because I would like to see some interface activity...
[04:49] <Jowi> matthias, normally you need a driver
[04:49] <jharr> axa-axa: one of the network monitor applets could do that
[04:49] <Jowi> matthias, never used vmware to run windows so I don't know if there's anything special about such an installation
[04:50] <jharr> axa-axa: probably not what you want, but it'll work
[04:50] <jharr> axa-axa: do you know any programming languages?
[04:51] <matthias> sry my x-server had a problem...any ideas?
[04:51] <Jowi> matthias, as i said. you probably need a winxp driver for the printer.
[04:51] <matthias> thats no problem but the device is not recognices as a printer under windows
[04:51] <jharr> axa-axa: if you're bored, write one. http://www.pygtk.org/articles/applets_arturogf/
[04:51] <matthias> Jowi: so my driver coulnd't find the printer
[04:52] <Enverex> How do you change the overall language in Ubuntu? I noticed the "Language Support" in the Administration menu but it says that only affects new accounts and the login screen. What about existing accounts?
[04:52] <francois_> hardly back
[04:53] <francois_> ttw:  doesnt work after reboot
[04:53] <axa-axa> jharr: Yes. C/C++, but I don't know GTK interface, and I thinks its a bit silly to learn it only for this :)
[04:53] <vlt> Hello. I'm running Ubuntu Dapper 6.10. How can I mount an NFS export from a Debian server who's charset is ISO-8859-1 into my /mnt/ translating to UTF-8 (like mount -t cifs -o iocharset=utf8 does)?
[04:53] <Jowi> matthias, I don't know. I guess if the driver installs fine the hardware should be detected.
[04:53] <axa-axa> jharr: But thanks for advices :)
[04:54] <matthias> Jowi: no thats the problem...driver installed no printer detected...just an unknown device
[04:54] <francois_> ttw:  ?
[04:54] <jharr> axa-axa: if you're bored. GTK from an "interpreted" language is really easy.
[04:54] <Jowi> matthias, whats the printer model?
[04:54] <jrib> Enverex: there is an option at the login screen to choose your default lang
[04:54] <ttw> francois: you're still broke ?
[04:54] <francois_> yea
[04:54] <matthias> Canon iP4200
[04:55] <matthias> Jowi: Canon iP4200
[04:55] <Enverex> jrib, afaik that only let me select "English" though, not UK English, or am I thinking of something else..
[04:55] <ttw> francois: same story very slow ping ?
[04:55] <francois_> yea
[04:55] <ttw> and this box used to work ?  what network card is it ?
[04:56] <francois_> wtf unix and so linux was built to work in a network and i cant even reconise a DHCP server ?
[04:56] <francois_> it*
[04:56] <jrib> Enverex: options > select language  lists english uk and usa for me
[04:56] <ttw> francois: pretty sure it's either you or the hardware, not the OS -- i'm afraid
[04:57] <ttw> francois: what network card is it ?
[04:57] <romedog> OK I have been trying now for the past 3 days and I have reinstalled  my server 3 times and cannot get this gallery2 two work
[04:57] <francois_> why it worked with ALL other comp running , mac os 9, windows , mac os X and the comp with ubuntu in worked nice with xp
[04:57] <romedog> I READ THE DOCS
[04:57] <francois_> a realtek one i think
[04:57] <Enverex> jrib, Great thanks
[04:57] <romedog> can anyone help
[04:58] <ttw> francois: may be a speed detection problem -- try set doing a search for your nic make and model
[04:59] <ttw> francois: you could also try setting the speed explicitly to 10Mb (or whatever your router runs at)
[05:00] <elias_> I have xserver-xgl completely removed from my system. But when I "switch user" I am still asked, if I want to use the standard or the XGL server.
[05:00] <elias_> what to do?
[05:00] <Jowi> matthias, finding nothing searching for vmware with this printer. try adding new hardware in windows.
[05:00] <Vanuatoo> I've got latest ubuntu. I get constant crashes of every program I run. My RAM works fine under memtest 11 passes. Also under windows I have no problems. What might it be?
[05:00] <ttw> francois: and make sure it's not on duplex mode -- could be that too
[05:00] <matthias> Jowi: yes i'll try
[05:01] <matthias> Jowi: thx
[05:01] <francois_> ttw it appears that realtek doesnt work fine with linux
[05:01] <Rprp>
[05:01] <francois_><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:01] <wkerzend> i have an ati x700 mobility card on my laptop. I want to use that in dualhead. the trouble seems to be that the driver says failed to detect secondary monitor so the lcd stays blank and the crt gives me just one desktop
[05:02] <francois_> im trying to force it in 10baset

[05:07] <romedog> ubuntu seems like a good os but for some reason this has as many issues as fedora
[05:08] <Mikelo> apt conflict here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1687/
[05:09] <romedog> !ask lamp
[05:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask lamp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:10] <Jowi> romedog, try !lamp | romedog
[05:10] <romedog> !lamp
[05:10] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[05:10] <romedog> thanks
[05:10] <gdiebel> My laptop system has a pci-express nvidia go 7400, even when using nvidia-glx, it still loads agpgart and intel_agp. there is no /proc/driver/nvidia/agp, why is this the case?

[05:12] <grndslm> i'm trying to tweak my synaptics touchpad...but I can't figure out why the bottom edge is acting as the back/forward buttons in firefox, instead of sideways scrolling...any ideas?
[05:13] <unvs> i'd like to setup a local imap server on my ubuntu-server which grabs mail from external pop3/imap servers and puts them in folders on my imap account. any clues to what software i need to do that?
[05:13] <dzumret> hello how to compile conky 1.4.5 in edgy
[05:14] <Delux_247> unvs: try courier-imapd
[05:14] <vlt> Hello. How can I mount an NFS export from a server with locale ISO-8859-1 into my /mnt/ translating to UTF-8?
[05:14] <samalex> will ubuntu desktop pickup that my system has two processors and enable the SMP modules in the kernel automatically during installation?  my box has dual PIII-1Ghz processors, so just curious.  The last distro I ran on h ere was Red Hat 9, and it did... but Slackware and Suse always had problems with this.
[05:14] <unvs> Delux_247: thanks, i'll look into that
[05:15] <JohnnyX_> can someone help me with xserver
[05:15] <Mikelo> apt conflict here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1687/ please...
[05:15] <Jowi> samalex, the 686 kernels have smp enabled
[05:15] <Delux_247> np
[05:15] <JohnnyX_> when i boot up it boots me to the command line but when i try to run startx as my user it gives back "Xauth: error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthority"
[05:15] <samalex> jowi, thanks.
[05:16] <jrib> JohnnyX_: check the permissions
[05:16] <Jowi> samalex, the name of the kernel to use depends on which version of ubuntu you're installing.
[05:16] <Jowi> !generic
[05:16] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[05:16] <Mikelo> there's a package which does install because of an apt conflict here's my term output  apt conflict here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1687/
[05:16] <Bnirkow> hello
[05:16] <rohan> is there a single meta package to install all the LAMP packages ?
[05:17] <rohan> Mikelo: it is not a confilict
[05:17] <rohan> are you using the official repo's only, Mikelo ?
[05:17] <JohnnyX_> jrib, rwxrwxrw- 1 root root 168 .Xauthority
[05:17] <Mikelo> rohan: nope
[05:18] <rohan> ah, doesnt matter though
[05:18] <rohan> strange
[05:18] <jrib> JohnnyX_: should be owned and have the group of your user
[05:18] <rohan> try apt-get -f install
[05:18] <Mikelo> rohan: somehow i cant get past that
[05:18] <JohnnyX_> how do i set it jrib ?
[05:18] <jrib> JohnnyX_: sudo chown $USER: ~/.Xauthority
[05:18] <rohan> Mikelo: yes, if you did not make any changes to the package scripts, it might be FS corruption
[05:19] <bobby_> hey everyone, tell me if it's possible to have a .sh script run at bootup? The script requires sudo privledges as it sets my firewll rules
[05:19] <Mikelo> rohan: yes could be
[05:19] <Jowi> JohnnyX_, (or simply remove it and try again.)
[05:19] <samalex> jowi, hmm. i'm downloading the desktop 6.10 now, but I'll see what the options are when i start installing.
[05:19] <JohnnyX_> rm the file?
[05:19] <jrib> JohnnyX_: check ~/.ICEauthority too
[05:20] <Jowi> samalex, the kernel will probably be installed automatically. if not, you can change kernel after the installation is done and your new system has booted.
[05:20] <samalex> jowi, thanks :)
[05:20] <TheInfinity> hmm ... lvps87-230-7-248.dedicated.hosteurope.de (p508F1303.dip0.t-ipconnect.de[<IP_ADDRESS>] ) - ProFTPD terminating (signal 11) <-- sounds bad, hmm? can somebody help me getting proftpd back to work?
[05:21] <Bnirkow> when i boot ubuntu 6.10 (also opensuse 10.2), my computer are stopping on bootsplash... but ubuntu 5.10 install`s properly (i`m using to burn cd`s "alcohol" software)
[05:21] <JohnnyX_> -rw-------- 1 root root 3199 .ICEauthority jrib
[05:21] <jrib> JohnnyX_: yes, fix that too.  And don't run graphical programs with sudo anymore (if that is what caused it)
[05:21] <rohan> Bnirkow: in ubuntu, remove the word "silent" from the kernel options, and then reboot
[05:22] <davmor2> Help please I have Feisty installed and updated till a couple of weeks ago now dist-upgrade reports no updates.  Yet if I boot from the herd cd and in the live session do a dist-upgrade there are shed loads of updates.  I am on the gb server.
[05:22] <JohnnyX_> thanks jrib
[05:22] <Bnirkow> thanks rohan, i will try this
[05:22] <JohnnyX_> works fine now
[05:22] <vlt> Hello. How can I mount an NFS export from a server with locale ISO-8859-1 into my /mnt/ translating to UTF-8?
[05:22] <rohan> Bnirkow: mostly, it might be a FS check running in the background
[05:22] <JohnnyX_> except how do i get it back to the default font
[05:22] <JohnnyX_> my user has this really ugly font i can barely read and it doesnt let me change it in the manager settings
[05:22] <elias_> how to get the best GL performance for games like gltron assuming I have AIGLX with nvidia on EDGY?
[05:23] <JohnnyX_> if i reinstall all the font packages will that get it back to default?
[05:24] <beaArthur> is the ruby mkmf module split off from the regular ruby package in edgy?
[05:24] <Jowi> JohnnyX_, are you using gnome or kde?
[05:24] <grndslm> i'm trying to tweak my synaptics touchpad...but I can't figure out why the bottom edge is acting as the back/forward buttons in firefox, instead of sideways scrolling...any ideas?
[05:24] <JohnnyX_> xfce
[05:25] <bobby_> Is there a way that I can have my iptables.sh script run at boot?
[05:25] <JohnnyX_> and alot of my apps are missing
[05:25] <JohnnyX_> like synaptic and gnome-terminal
[05:25] <ligrev> /etc/rc.local
[05:25] <ligrev> bobby: put it in there if you want.
[05:25] <davmor2> grndslm the pad at the bottom is horizontal scroll if there is no scroll then it will do back and forward instead
[05:26] <Jowi> JohnnyX_, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" will install all the gnome programs (if that's what you want to do). regarding the font, maybe people in #xubuntu have answers for you
[05:26] <bobby_> ligrev: do I need the /bin/bash part aswell?
[05:26] <romedog> why does ubuntu-desktop not like kde desktop
[05:27] <rohan> beaArthur: you could try searching on packages.ubuntu.com
[05:27] <JohnnyX_> thanks Jowi
[05:27] <Jojo__> hi noobZ
[05:27] <Jowi> romedog, because ubuntu-desktop is for installing everything gnome related. kubuntu-desktop is for installing everything kde related.
[05:27] <Jowi> !ubuntu-desktop
[05:27] <ubotu> k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.

[05:29] <Jowi> JohnnyX_, don't ask me about installing applications in a vmware client :)
[05:29] <matthew> am i doing something blindingly stupid here? or is there actually something not quite right?
[05:29] <ligrev> dpkg -S <filename>
[05:29] <rohan> matthew: hang on, there is a script around
[05:30] <matthew> ok, thank you
[05:30] <JohnnyX_> no i mean the only network devices that show up are my vmware bridged networks
[05:30] <ligrev> jmartini: That was for you
[05:30] <JohnnyX_> eth0 and eth1 dont show up
[05:30] <facugaich> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=338073 <- Help anyone?
[05:30] <JohnnyX_> and i cant get an internet connection now
[05:30] <ligrev> sorry, stuff scrolling too fast ;)
[05:30] <JohnnyX_> this just started happening

[05:30] <rohan> matthew: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions should help
[05:30] <matthew> ok, thanks

[05:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about courier - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:32] <JohnnyX_> is there a way to reinstall with the cd without having to format the drives?
[05:32] <Delux_247> sheesh, they must call it something else
[05:32] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: yes you can but it's probably better to solve the underlying issue
[05:32] <matthew> the only other question i'd have is, is it possible to use dual screens in ubuntu? (atm i get some freaky flashing stuff on my 2nd monitor)
[05:33] <JohnnyX_> id like to know how to do both jmartini
[05:33] <Bnirkow> rohan - i can`t edit kernel option`s - what i can cut is only "quite"
[05:33] <ligrev> bobby: re /bin/bash - just call your script from rc.local
[05:33] <JohnnyX_> i dont know what caused this though
[05:33] <ligrev> throw it in there with your full path
[05:33] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: be just a minute, have a conf call
[05:33] <JohnnyX_> i just had an internet connection
[05:33] <rohan> Bnirkow: yes
[05:33] <rohan> that's what is required
[05:34] <Bnirkow> still stop`s
[05:35] <JohnnyX_> how do i set eth0 to dhcp and as the default gateway?
[05:36] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: Use System->Administration->Network Settings to mange the network interfaces
[05:37] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: do you need both network interfaces initially?
[05:37] <JohnnyX_> im on tty1
[05:37] <JohnnyX_> ifconfig -a brings all the gateways
[05:37] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: bah make it a pain why don't you. give me a second
[05:37] <JohnnyX_> but eth0 my ethernet isnt receiving anything
[05:38] <JohnnyX_> sorry jmartini
[05:38] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: also read /etc/init.d/networking
[05:39] <vlt> Hello. How can I mount an NFS export from a server with locale ISO-8859-1 into my /mnt/ translating to UTF-8?
[05:39] <JohnnyX_> what am i looking for jmartini
[05:39] <cardboard_box> hey, does anyone here have problems with their widescreen resolutions in ubuntu?
[05:39] <lmosher> What's a very good music organization program? I've been using rhythmbox and I was wondering if there's something better...
[05:39] <ligrev> amarok
[05:40] <ligrev> hands down
[05:40] <lmosher> amarok?
[05:40] <ligrev> amarok.
[05:40] <lmosher> I'll check it out
[05:40] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: the location of the file that defines the network configuration. I'm used to doing this in redhat from the command line so I'm still figuring out where some of these things are in ubuntu
[05:41] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: looks like /etc/network/interfaces
[05:41] <ligrev> jmartini: /etc/network/*
[05:41] <ligrev> Dang, you're too fast.
[05:41] <ligrev> I should drop the # of windows.
[05:42] <copernic> /join #ubuntu-fr
[05:42] <Bnirkow> rohan - it stops on "Running /scripts/init -premount"
[05:42] <lmosher> Sometimes (i.e. for amarok) apt-get gives me some recommended packages. How recommended are they? I.e. should I actually install those as well?
[05:43] <JohnnyX_> /etc/network/interfaces   shows  iface eht0 inet dhcp auto eth0 iface eth1 inet dhcp jmartini
[05:43] <SzArAk> lmosher: no. as it is said, they are recommended
[05:44] <SzArAk> lmosher: but they MAY add some functionality. that is what recommended means ;p
[05:45] <JohnnyX_> how do i reinstall  all the packages from the cd without having format my drive?
[05:46] <ligrev> JohnnyX: Should be an option when you boot to the install CD
[05:46] <lmosher> How do I fix this:
[05:46] <lmosher> The following packages have been kept back:
[05:46] <lmosher>   linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic
[05:46] <L33TrDaNu> anyone here use a webcam (that has audio support) with their ubuntu/kubuntu ?
[05:46] <xDCDx> hello
[05:47] <xDCDx> I have a problem using 'tftpd-hpa'. I installed it, invoke it with 'in.tftpd /directory/' and it seems it is listening; but doing 'ftp localhost' says 'connection refused'. I tried using the -l option but then 'in.tftpd' exits without error message. I also tried using inetd to no avail
[05:47] <xDCDx> any ideas?
[05:47] <JohnnyX_> now when i try to run synaptic i get failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic Wrong Password
[05:47] <TeTeT> xDCDx: ftp is not tftp
[05:48] <gengiskanhg> I am new with Ubuntu. With mandrake 10.0 two years of experience. The system mount my partition (old) data but there are bad "encoding" in filenames with special characters, they appear as <?>. I had prove changing locales (to spanish), proving mount options, but anything works. Any help?
[05:48] <JohnnyX_> i can only run it when i sudo -s
[05:48] <lmosher> ligrev, What are the ramifications of running amarok with gnome? I saw some KDE errors at startup (dcopserver, etc)
[05:49] <xDCDx> TeTeT, that explains it all, i will try with tftp (my final goal is to perform a netboot, already have dhcpd configured)
[05:49] <gengiskanhg> Bad filenames in a etx3 mounted partition: I had looked at web but I can't find the solution.
[05:50] <Bnirkow> what anybody can say about "instlux" ??
[05:51] <TeTeT> xDCDx: good luck
[05:51] <SzArAk> it's hard to spell :>
[05:51] <|Penguin|> knew that was coming
[05:51] <SzArAk> ;)
[05:51] <JohnnyX_> when i run synaptic from the command line its fine but when i go to system > admin > synaptic it prompts for a password then tells me its wrong
[05:51] <|Penguin|> thats probably because of ubuntu's sudo instead of su thing
[05:52] <|Penguin|> there isn't really an admin password as far as you know
[05:52] <xFlux> sudo passwd then set a password for root
[05:52] <|Penguin|> but if you sudo it...
[05:52] <Professor`> so i dl the latest ver, burned iso to cd, i cant boot off it, any suggestions
[05:52] <stoone> question: i shared a folder through samba and the other machine (runs windows...) asks for password, it is my normal username / password or can i define another or how could i make it passwordless?
[05:52] <bcardarella> groupadd is supposed to add a group, correct?
[05:53] <xFlux> Professor`:  Check the MD5's against the ISO you burnt and/or check the Hardware Compatibility List for Ubuntu
[05:53] <Professor`> there good
[05:53] <JohnnyX_> whats the syntax to set eth0 as the default gateway with dhcp enabled?
[05:53] <amit__> Hello. i have a problem. my firefox keep crashing from time to time. any suggestions?
[05:54] <xFlux> stoone:  If your using PAM Authentication, it will be a uid you set up on the linux box
[05:54] <Dante123> hi all.....will ubuntu run ok on an Intel Celeron D 2.4 ghz, 512 mb processor???
[05:54] <gengiskanhg> DANTEL: Ubuntu run well in most the computes
[05:54] <Dante123> 512mb enough ram
[05:54] <Dante123> ?
[05:54] <xFlux> amit__:  There was an update for firefox, did you get it?
[05:55] <bobby_> ligrev: Thanks that worked perfectly
[05:55] <|Penguin|> So here's a stumper... I just put together my new box with an evga680i mobo, and just installed ubuntu for my first time (have used FC6 previously). Sooo I plug in my ethernet cable, and nothing. Looking around a little, ubuntu certainly recognizes the hardware, but doing an ifconfig shows that eth1 has an IPV6 address O.o Any uber advice for me?
[05:55] <xFlux> Dante123:  More than enough :)
[05:55] <gengiskanhg> Before ask here is very good (and frecuently quickly) to search the web
[05:55] <Professor`> is there a command string i need to add to let it boot ?
[05:55] <stoone> xFlux: yes i use PAM but how can i share it paswordless? don't want to give in my pass in a win box.
[05:55] <amit__> xFlux, is it through the official resp?
[05:55] <snail> amit__: if you have installed lots of extensions and plugins, unintall them and then reinstall them one day at a time.
[05:55] <Dante123> thanks.....will install on kids computer....trying to get them off the "windoze" drug
[05:55] <Linky|Lap> np though, thx :)
[05:55] <snail> the day you start seeing crashes again, you have part of the culprit
[05:55] <Dante123> they like gimp......so that's a start on the road to linux
[05:56] <amit__> snail, i have no extentions
[05:56] <xFlux> it was on the security repository that is part of ubuntu
[05:56] <amit__> snail, i do have a java, flash etc plugins
[05:56] <jewbilee> Can anyone tell me how I get my windows to be transparent
[05:56] <xFlux> jewbilee:  If your looking for cool eye candy check out beryl-manager
[05:57] <xFlux> if you card can handle it :P
[05:57] <hjmills> jewbilee: install beryl and stuff and read some guides on that
[05:57] <xFlux> *your
[05:57] <hjmills> !beryl
[05:57] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[05:57] <Dante123> one other question.....and please give me your professional, objective and as unbiased opinion as possible.....which is better for general average user Ubuntu or SUSE?
[05:57] <xFlux> business or personal?
[05:57] <Dante123> personal
[05:57] <xFlux> ubuntu
, you know you are in a ubuntu IRC channel
[05:57] <|Penguin|> hehe
[05:57] <xFlux> suse is bloated, but makes sense for business
[05:58] <Professor`> oo did not know i needed Infra burner
[05:58] <SpaceMerchant> jewbilee, a howto for Beryl,  http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install/Ubuntu
[05:58] <Dante123> yeah I know......just wanting confirmation that the linux I put on for kids is the best one for them.....oldest is twelve and pretty computer savvy
[05:58] <xFlux> all my servers are centos though :)
[05:58] <snail> Dante123: this is an ubuntu channel, thus no place for unbiased opinions
[05:58] <amit__> snail, should i reinstall the firefox plugin's then?
[05:58] <Pommie> xFlux: How do you figure Suse is better for business?
[05:58] <jewbilee> Thanks Space
[05:58] <xFlux> Pommie:  They have custom applications and supported connectors for windows environments
[05:58] <snail> amit__: sounds like a good palce to start
[05:59] <jewbilee> What do I want, XGL or AIGLX?
[05:59] <Pommie> xFlux: Ah, better Samba support?
[05:59] <xFlux> what kind of video card do you have?
[05:59] <amit__> snail, if i remove firefox and reinstall it. will it save my bookmarks etc?
[05:59] <jewbilee> NVidia Geforce Go 5200
[05:59] <Dante123> I thought it was the "Bill Gates stamp of approval" that you saw as an "advantage"-  you know like Genuine Windows Advantage  ;-)
[05:59] <jewbilee> drivers are installed properly for linux
[06:00] <xFlux> Pommie:  I don't know about samba support, but client authentication with OpenLDAP would be the main one....not to mention suse server has custom code in OpenLDAP
[06:00] <Pommie> jewbilee: I run beryl on my nvidia 5600. It runs, but I wouldn't turn on ALL of it's features. :-P
[06:00] <jewbilee> hahah
[06:00] <jewbilee> alright
[06:00] <Professor`> awesomeness
[06:00] <jewbilee> beryl requires more out of the computer i guess?
[06:00] <snail> amit__: it certainly should
[06:00] <Byan_trill> root@Terra:/etc/init.d# brctl addif br0 eth1
[06:00] <Byan_trill> can't add eth1 to bridge br0: Invalid argument
[06:00] <xFlux> I think this comptuer uses an Intel 915 chipset for graphics....runs fine with teh default profile
[06:01] <rasputin> what package provides development tools for ubuntu
[06:01] <Byan_trill> anyone know why I can't do that?
[06:01] <rasputin> ?
[06:01] <gengiskanhg> Anybody can help me about "bad filenames in a mounted ext3 partition"?
[06:01] <|Penguin|> Anyone have any idea why my eth1 has an ipv6 address when its set to be inet in /etc/network/interfaces? It's wholly inactive.
[06:01] <Pommie> jewbilee: more out of the graphics card, actually.
[06:01] <xDCDx> I have a problem using 'tftpd-hpa'. I installed it, invoke it with 'in.tftpd /directory/' and it seems it is listening; but doing 'get file' inside 'tftp localhost' gives a timeout error. I tried using the -l option but then 'in.tftpd' exits without error message. I also tried using inetd to no avail. Any ideas?
[06:01] <jewbilee> Pommie: yea i deffinatly shouldnt do it then
[06:01] <xFlux> rasputin:  There is no specific toolset for Ubuntu.....You can check out Mono for C# development, or kdevelop etc etc
[06:01] <MrSprout> This might be really stupid of me, but why are there no links to download automatix on getautomatix.com
[06:01] <Dimensions> hiya guys ... i need to install grub/lilo on my mac mini dual boot with ubuntu OSX ... online guide say that open a chrooted terminal ... i have done that on that system but problem is that i can browse internet etc with non chroot terminal but in chroot terminal i can't get my internet working when i am downloading any thing or apt-get it say uknown host www.blahblach.com ... can't ping or download any updates etc ...
[06:01] <n2diy> rasputin: build-essentials
[06:01] <Dante123> Does pygame have a GUI?
[06:01] <knight> how can i know the correct specification of my celeron processor?
[06:02] <xFlux> knight:  What does your /proc/cpuinfo say?
[06:02] <arquebus> Dante pygame are just SDL librarys ported to python
[06:02] <n2diy> knight:  cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:02] <Pommie> jewbilee: my CPU is just a non-SMP, non-HT 2.4 GHz P4 with nvidia 5600XT.
[06:02] <Professor`> Iam a first timer getting ready to install this, what should i look out for^^
[06:02] <Dante123> okay....I was thinking it was something like Gamemaker on windows....
[06:02] <arquebus> nope
[06:02] <Byan_trill> >_<
[06:03] <xFlux> Professor`:  Ubuntu is as easy as it gets for the install :)
[06:03] <Dante123> is there anything like that on linux for kids to fool around with programming- you know to get started down that road
[06:03] <|Penguin|> Somebody halp, mah interweb don't be workin'?!
[06:03] <Professor`> will i have and driver compatability issues ?
[06:03] <knight> n2diy: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz
[06:03] <jewbilee> Professor: Ubuntu is very easy to install
[06:03] <xFlux> Dante123:  There are several education applications in the Ubuntu repositories, check them out after install
[06:03] <arquebus> Dante, yes there is quido von robot
[06:04] <Dante123> quido?
[06:04] <xFlux> I think they have that lego mindstorms for nix as well
[06:04] <n2diy> knight:  there you go.
[06:04] <xFlux> Im not sure, never really checked into it
[06:04] <arquebus> yes dante, its in add/remove programs under programming
[06:04] <Dante123> thanks...checking it out now
[06:04] <arquebus> guido as in the name of the guy who invented python
[06:05] <Pommie> guido as in the goodfellah. :-P
[06:05] <knight> n2diy: but how could i know whether its celeron 1 2 or willamete ... i ve got his thing asked
[06:05] <|Penguin|> Okay how about this one... how would I go about patching from <IP_ADDRESS>-generic to <IP_ADDRESS>? Do I need to do each patch in between (i.e. 2.6.18)? Also, where do I do this from... patch is giving me hell, just sits there silently doing nothing
[06:06] <Professor`> wish me luck i just dl that infra burner, burned image as it said, lets hope it boots off cd
[06:06] <n2diy> knight: I don't know?
[06:06] <xFlux> Doesn't the updater have the patches for the latest kernel?
[06:07] <|Penguin|> my ethernet connection doesn't work
[06:07] <Dante123> thanks....official name GvRNG...thanks again for info
[06:07] <|Penguin|> so I've d/ld the patch from another machine
[06:07] <arquebus> dante- its called GvRNG under add and remove programs, also you can do a google search to find the webpage that will give more info on how to use it
[06:07] <SpaceMerchant> jewbilee, Beryl is graphics intensive so if you have some extra memory on your system open the aperture by allocating some memory  (most commonly Ctrl+F1 after having entered the system bios)
[06:07] <|Penguin|> this is, of course, all in an effort to get my ethernet to work
[06:07] <troymcmclure> hello... i've been trying to uninstall apache2, and apt-get remove seems to do the job, but files are still on /etc/apache2 and it's still startable with /etc/init.d/apache2 start ??? whats wrong here?
[06:07] <xFlux> ahh good stuff.......Iv'e never went the patching route, ive always just compiled from the soutrce
[06:07] <Professor`> awesome, It worked
[06:07] <xFlux> *source
[06:07] <jrib> troymcmclure: apache2 depends on other packages that have the "real" stuff.  Try apt-get autoremove
[06:07] <dark> hey guys , I have a problem on my laptop, I just installed network-manager-gnome, but the wireless networks are not listed and my wireless card is enabled
[06:07] <The_Machine> Anyone experience OO.org maximizing in such a way that you have to ALT+TAB to make it so that you can get to any other windows?  (The toolbar at the top goes away)?  It's ONLY with OO.org - i don't have this with any other apps
[06:08] <troymcmclure> jrib: tried that too :(
[06:08] <knight> are there many versions for celeron processor?
[06:08] <|Penguin|> well I also have the linux-2.6.19
[06:08] <alunduil> Anyone ever attempted to sshfs mount home directories via /etc/profile?
[06:08] <The_Machine> knight:  yeah, ever since pentium IIs
[06:08] <|Penguin|> how would I go about compiling that, and would that slide right in under my current ubuntu install?
[06:08] <samalex> dang, they've sure streamlined installation of Linux with Ubuntu.  I'm installing now, and it was about as easy as I've seen in a distro.
[06:08] <The_Machine> celeron = broken pentium
[06:08] <jrib> troymcmclure: I believe apache2-common is the package.  just do apt-cache depends apache2  and  dpkg -S /path/to/file/that/is/still/here  for hints
[06:08] <knight> The_Machine: how can i know which version i have?
[06:09] <troymcmclure> jrbi: the problem is that it won't seem to recognize my php5, do i think i need to reinstall ... ?
[06:09] <The_Machine> what do you mean?  what clock speed?
[06:09] <The_Machine> what's the clock speed of your chip?
[06:09] <jrib> troymcmclure: no, reinstalling will hardly ever fix anything in linux
[06:09] <tfny1> Howto mount a NTFS partition ?
[06:09] <jrib> !ntfs | tfny1
[06:09] <ubotu> tfny1: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[06:09] <Bnirkow> when i boot ubuntu 6.10 - it`s crash on bootsplash, when i cut "quiet" i see "running /scripts/init -premount" and it`s stops on it ... but ubuntu 5.10 install`s properly
[06:09] <jrib> troymcmclure: have you been to the LAMP wiki page?
[06:09] <troymcmclure> jrib: a server hack :-)
[06:10] <troymcmclure> jrib: no :(
[06:10] <jrib> !lamp | troymcmclure
[06:10] <ubotu> troymcmclure: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[06:10] <knight> The_Machine: its 2ghz
[06:10] <troymcmclure> jrib: i know what it is eheh
[06:10] <jrib> troymcmclure: the important part is the wiki page...
[06:11] <troymcmclure> jrib, yes: jeje i just googled but there's a couple
[06:11] <jrib> troymcmclure: the one ubotu gave you
[06:11] <The_Machine> it's a Pentium 4 type celeron
[06:11] <The_Machine> i mean, i'm not sure i understand your question
[06:12] <tfny1> How to find the /dev/ file for the partition ? fdisk shows me there is a hdb (and a hdb1) but mount tells me that this does not exist
[06:12] <knight> The_Machine: is 2ghz processors celeron 4?
[06:12] <jrib> tfny1: what is "it"?
[06:12] <knight> The_Machine: if so then its ok
[06:12] <tfny1> it?
[06:12] <jrib> tfny1: erm "this"
[06:13] <jrib> in "but mount tells me that this does not exist"
[06:13] <The_Machine> yeah, let's say it's a celery 4
[06:13] <The_Machine> it's based off of a PIV
[06:13] <The_Machine> that's for sure.
[06:13] <Pommie> tfny1: if fdisk reports that you have a partition at hdb1, perhaps try mounting /dev/hdb1.
[06:13] <jmartini> tfny1: what is the error that mount returns
[06:14] <tfny1> special device /dev/hdb1 does not exist
[06:14] <jmartini> tfny1: and what is the mount command you're using?
[06:14] <SpaceMerchant> jewbilee,  if you want to go that route, the formula for allocating is 2x the cards memory +32 megs ... example is mine is 128 video card so I allow 256 off my system when it needs it.  I didn't configure the 32 for safety sake.
[06:14] <tfny1> mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win -t ntfs
[06:14] <bluefox83> ok, i'm trying to install ubuntu on my girlfriends computer, the 6.06 desktop and alternate cd fails and so does the 6.10 one...it gets to the boot prompts and when it asks what you want to do it says it's loading the linux kernel and then restarts the computer, how do i get around this?
[06:15] <Jojo__> bluefox
[06:15] <bluefox83> hrm?
[06:15] <Jojo__> try the newest version of ubuntu
[06:15] <bluefox83> i did
[06:15] <jmartini> tfny1: and what does fdisk show for /dev/hdb?
[06:15] <Jojo__> this should be ok
[06:15] <Bnirkow> new version on my computer are stoping on bootsplash
[06:15] <Byan_trill> anyone have any idea why I can't add eth1 to my bridge
[06:15] <Byan_trill> eth is firewire..
[06:15] <SpaceMerchant> yeah be daring, they are looking for some Herd testers
[06:15] <tfny1> jmartini, that there are 4 partitions on hdb, and that hdb1 has the system HPFS/NTFS
[06:15] <Byan_trill> eth1*
[06:16] <Jojo__> hmm
[06:16] <bluefox83> still doesn't work, i get a major error of some kinda interrupt, and it floods the screen and the system freezes, the only way to restart the system is to unplug it
[06:16] <The_Machine> Anyone experience OO.org maximizing in such a way that you have to ALT+TAB to make it so that you can get to any other windows?  (The toolbar at the top goes away)?  It's ONLY with OO.org - i don't have this with any other apps
[06:16] <grimboy> Is there a website somewhere that has a bunch of example media with different mime types for testing out plugins?
[06:16] <Pommie> tfny1 :  Try this command as superuser... cd /dev && MAKEDEV generic
[06:16] <jmartini> tfny1: well thats just odd. give me a minute
[06:17] <grimboy> (As I've searched and not found)
[06:17] <troymcmclure> jrib, now simple .php's work, but the browser still want's to d/l phpmyadmin folder when accesing?!
[06:17] <troymcmclure> jrib, ahh it needs to be added to apache2.conf right?
[06:17] <romedog> do you have php-mysql working correctly on the box Troy
[06:18] <tfny1> Pommie, is working
[06:18] <jrib> troymcmclure: not sure, never set it up on ubuntu
[06:18] <jmartini> tfny1: ok duh, its your mount command. try mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win
[06:18] <jrib> troymcmclure: read /usr/share/doc/phpmyadmin/*  maybe
[06:18] <Pommie> tfny1: after that finishes, try the mount again.
[06:18] <troymcmclure> jrib, done
[06:18] <tfny1> ok
[06:18] <piao> some times may be you don't  install lib-php-apahce2-mod
[06:18] <PwndMopar> It was just going to take 6 minutes to update, now it's at 1 hours D;
[06:19] <JohnnyX_> how do i set the default gateway to eth0 with dhcp enabled?
[06:19] <romedog> troymcmclure do you have php modules intergrated into the mysql database
[06:19] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: fix your dhcp server
[06:20] <bluefox83> ok, how do i set up my girlfriend's computer to install ubuntu via a network install?
[06:20] <MHobbit> Has anyone had problems with getting the CD to load on a Dell computer? :-/
[06:20] <bluefox83> MHobbit, i have probs with it working on a Compaq...
[06:20] <JohnnyX_> how jmartini
[06:21] <knight> if i resize a partition having my /home directory will it affect system functioning?
[06:21] <tfny1> jmartini, Pommie : Same error as before
[06:21] <Pommie> tfny1: what's the output from   ls -l /dev/hdb1 ?
[06:22] <piao> i think resize /home will not affect
[06:22] <JohnnyX_> how do i reinstall everything without having to format my drives
[06:22] <tfny1> Pommie, no such file or dir
[06:22] <knight> piao: will i lose data?
[06:22] <[A] ndy80> hi
[06:22] <Pommie> odd.
[06:22] <tfny1> But hda and hdb exist in the /dev dir
[06:22] <szprotek> siemka :)
[06:22] <piao> you can mount your /usr /var /home to other partition
[06:23] <Pommie> Well, close to same as before... as root... cd /dev && MAKEDEV hdb1
[06:23] <piao> when you reinstall ubuntu
[06:23] <[A] ndy80> In Firefox, gstreamer is the default plugin that try to play media. I'd like to make mplayer the default one. How can I change it? I remember I have to -reconfigure something but I don't remenber what exactly.
[06:23] <tfny1> don'z know how to make devide *hdb1* I got as error
[06:23] <piao> you can use about:config
[06:24] <knight> piao: but i have a 10gb part for /home and want to make 5 gbs each for /home and /usr
[06:24] <Pommie> tfny1: hang on, lemme research something
[06:25] <[A] ndy80> piao: about:config only tell me if plugin is installed
[06:25] <tfny1> ok
[06:25] <piao> you search gstream in about:config
[06:25] <Bnirkow> when i boot ubuntu 6.10 - it`s crash on bootsplash, when i cut "quiet" i see "running /scripts/init -premount" and it`s stops on it ... but ubuntu 5.10 install`s properly... anybody can help me?
[06:26] <linux1> hiya ppl is there a threaded encoding app for ubuntu im using devede which uses mencoder but that only uses one core ;(
[06:26] <Pommie> tfny1 : These are just regular IDE drives, right?
[06:26] <[A] ndy80> and another big question.... I've just started my session and I'm looking processes with "top" utility.  Is ubuntu doing something in background?
[06:26] <piao> then change it to mplay's plugin
[06:26] <knight> how can i resize /home partition?
[06:26] <lovloss> linux1 I looked and looked and looked... and found out that its best to use mencoder from the command line
[06:26] <tfny1> Pommie, yes
[06:26] <lovloss> linux1: It has a pretty intuitive interface actually.
[06:26] <piao> use parted
[06:27] <drkm> how can I install a rpm in Ubuntu?
[06:27] <piao> may be use Gparted is a good way
[06:27] <[A] ndy80> piao: yes, but how? about:config is a readonly page
[06:27] <knight> piao: but will i loose data?
[06:27] <ewaloe> hi room
[06:27] <Pici> drkm you can you alien to turn an rpm into a deb package, but its not really supported after that, obviously
[06:27] <linux1> ok thanks lovloss thought that would be the case ok will try it that way
[06:28] <Pici> and I'm not sure how package upgrades work then
[06:28] <piao> no, you can double click each item to change the value  in about:config
[06:28] <drkm> Pici: is there a way I can just un rpm it or something?
[06:28] <simmerz> how do I delete a route? I'm trying route del ip.add.re.ss and its not working.
[06:28] <simmerz> I also tried adding gw before the ip address
[06:28] <lovloss> linux1: surprisingly, youll wind up prefering it. Every time you leave out something it will tell you whats missing, and you can quickly look up a list of your options.
[06:28] <Pommie> tfny1 : in fdisk /dev/hdb, try verifying your partition table with the 'v' command.
[06:28] <JohnnyX_> how do i get xserver to start automatically at boot up
[06:28] <JohnnyX_> it keeps booting me to the command line
[06:29] <[A] ndy80> piao: I cannot modify about:config .... It has never been possible
[06:29] <piao> the best way is you move data to other partition,after you resized,move it back
[06:29] <black_13> do i ask questions about kubuntu here or is there another channel?
[06:29] <Pici> dkrm: Possibly, but I'm not familiar with a way of doing it.  I use alien.
[06:29] <troymcmclure> why would my browser want to d/l phpmyadmin forlder insted of opening it?
[06:29] <pinchmesh> ".xsession"
[06:29] <piao> this is a safe way.
[06:29] <lovloss> black_13 #kubuntu, but kubuntu users come here to. im in kubuntu
[06:29] <linux1> cool will have a go later ,load of movies to do for the kids tonight
[06:29] <tfny1> Pommie, "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary"
[06:29] <lovloss> Just a better chatroom
[06:29] <tfny1> what does this mean ?
[06:29] <knight> piao: but  i dont have any other partition to move
[06:29] <lovloss> by linux1
[06:29] <msandtorv> how do I list available packages with apt? feks if I want to install some kind of ftp daemon it would be easy in Adapt or whatever, but how about apt-get ?
[06:30] <black_13> lovloss cool
[06:30] <Pommie> tfny1: I suspect that your drive partition is mangled
[06:30] <lovloss> msandtorv  sudo apt-cache search (something)
[06:30] <piao> you can't change about:config, may be you don't have the pression
[06:30] <msandtorv> ty
[06:30] <tfny1> But under mac os it works
[06:30] <black_13> so far
[06:30] <black_13> things are working prettty good

[06:31] <black_13> lovloss ati
[06:31] <Pommie> tfny1: what do you get in fdisk's 'p' output?
[06:31] <piao> oh. i'm not suppose you to resize when your data on it
[06:31] <lovloss> black_13: ooooh, sorry then i dunno this one. I hate graphics poblems
[06:32] <lovloss> i just run 'envy' whenever they come up. lol. but thats for nvidia
[06:32] <[A] ndy80> I remember that there is a package to reconfigure with dpkg
[06:32] <[A] ndy80> but I don't remember which one

[06:32] <tfny1> hdb1 HPFS/NTFS

[06:32] <piao> black_13  is you use thinkpad?
[06:33] <black_13> dell 600m
[06:33] <piao> or any computer use inter video
[06:33] <piao> oh...
[06:33] <bluefox83> Pommie, what does that do?
[06:33] <piao> when i use beryl,i get the same error
[06:33] <Pommie> bluefox83: when booting with the grub bootloader, holding the left shiftkey will abort the auto timer.
[06:33] <Bnirkow> ubuntu 6.10 on my computer are stoping on bootsplash
[06:34] <piao> i think it is a error of driver
[06:34] <Bnirkow> anybody can help?
[06:34] <piao> how long stoped?
[06:34] <PierreTramo> hi!
[06:34] <troymcmclure> why would my browser want to d/l phpmyadmin/ folder insted of opening it?
[06:34] <PierreTramo> i have a problem of "ugly" fonts with Xorg, using emacs-snapshot-gtk, ion3, etc.
[06:35] <PierreTramo> (in fact, every X11 "classic" fonts)
[06:35] <PierreTramo> here's a screenshot:
[06:35] <bluefox83> Pommie, i'm talking about during the alternate cd installer...it restarts after you pick an option (even the memory test)
[06:35] <PierreTramo> http://sitlib.org/pics/fonts_problem.html
[06:35] <Bnirkow> how long?? ==> don`t know ==> 30min`s and nothing changes
[06:35] <piao> i think you don't install php-apache2-mod
[06:36] <xDCDx> I am trying to boot using tftpd. If I set it up on inetd using the 'nobody' user, as adviced in the manual, in.tftpd says "cannot set groups for user nobody". Setting it to run as root on inetd works fine, but this is a security risk. What can I do?
[06:36] <PierreTramo> if anyone has an idea of what my problem is or how i could solve it, i offer one a beer :)
[06:36] <troymcmclure> piao, normal .php files work
[06:36] <jkimball4> If when I try to restart my computer, the system goes down, but doesn't actually restart, what could the issue be?  Would that be a setting somewhere?
[06:36] <piao> oh.
[06:36] <Pommie> tfny1 : line 2 of the fdisk 'p' output should show how many cylinders. If the #cyls for your hdb1 partition is beyond that, your partition table may be mangled.
[06:36] <piao> let me see ...
[06:37] <piao> is the apache2default d/l  when brower?
[06:37] <simmerz> I can't ping out to www.google.com, even though dns seems to work when i use dig

[06:37] <Stolencheese> Rawr, I'm a lion.
[06:38] <finn__> "Depends: libglu1-mesa but it is not going to be installed or	libglu1"  how can I install it if synaptic just won't?
[06:38] <Byan_trill> bleh.... seems linux can't bridge between ethernet and firewire...
[06:38] <finn__> sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa didn't do it either
[06:38] <Byan_trill> =(
[06:38] <bluefox83> !net install
[06:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about net install - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[06:38] <piao> when apahce2 install there is a folder apache2default folder.
[06:38] <tfny1> and my partition has 3815730+ blocks
[06:38] <tfny1> or what do u mean ?
[06:39] <BlueLagun1> Is there any way I can download a torrent from feisty without upgrading my system?
[06:39] <troymcmclure> piao, yes.. it works
[06:39] <Pommie> tfny1 : The number before that, the End. Not the #blocks.
[06:39] <Stolencheese> Now, Anybody having trouble with Gaim 1.5.1 with MSN, Crashing, ect, I have a simple solution if your new to UBuntu. Go to, www.GetAutomatix.com, Choose either Dapper Drake 6.6 or Edge 6.10, Install and than go to Internet and install the Gaim, Lots of other useful programs on there that install themself at the click of a button.
[06:39] <bluefox83> you folks are not very helpful today :(
[06:39] <troymcmclure> piao, test.php works fine

[06:40] <Pommie> bluefox83: Don't be so selfish.
[06:40] <BlueLagun1> I mean, not a torrent...
[06:40] <Stolencheese> Well, it hasn't broke my system yet.
[06:40] <BlueLagun1> Is there any way I can download a deb from feisty without upgrading my system?
[06:40] <bluefox83> Pommie, i'm in here a lot, so just today is not that huge fo a deal...
[06:40] <bluefox83> *of

[06:40] <bluefox83> Pommie, you have any idea why the installer would restart the system when i go to chose an installation method?
[06:41] <usuario> usuario
[06:41] <Pommie> Context-switching between dozens of questions isn't the easiest thing to do.
[06:41] <Stolencheese> I only needed it to download Gaim, Someone on Ubuntu forums reccomended it.
[06:41] <SpaceMerchant> finn__, do you know about Aptitude ?
[06:41] <piao> to find the error.
[06:41] <finn__> not a lot
[06:41] <tfny1> bluefox83, compare md5 hash of the image you downloaded and the original image
[06:41] <chrismhampson> can anyone tell me how to set up a usrname and pwd for the cups http config?
[06:41] <Pommie> bluefox83: I'd say either a bad CD or bad hardware.
[06:41] <SpaceMerchant> finn, it might do it for you,  sudo aptitude in a terminal window
[06:41] <bluefox83> tfny1, i tried, when i do it restarts the system
[06:42] <tfny1> are the hases the same ?
[06:42] <tfny1> *hashes
[06:42] <finn__> apt-get says libglu1-mesa is already the newest version.  but when installing  nvidia-glx   it says  libglu1-mesa not installed but it depends on it
[06:42] <bluefox83> tfny1, i dunno, when i do the "check disk for errors" thing it restarts the computer
[06:43] <willskillsafk> bluefox83, don't check the disk for errors then? :)
[06:43] <Pommie> tfny1 : re your massive "End" count. I really think your partition is mangled, and that's why the kernel isn't recognizing the drive partition correctly.
[06:43] <bluefox83> tfny1, but i let k3b check the md5sum before i burned it..all was well
[06:43] <tfny1> the check the .iso file on another computer (the md5 hash) and then check the hash of the .iso on the server
[06:43] <tfny1> Pommie, ok
[06:44] <bluefox83> i don't know how to do that >.>
[06:44] <SpaceMerchant> finn, aptitude can investigate the dependency issues, it might work for you :\
[06:44] <Pommie> tfny1: If the data is important, back it up, then destroy the partitions and recreate
[06:44] <tfny1> bluefox83, then I dont know, sry
[06:44] <tfny1> Pommie, ok, I will
[06:44] <tfny1> thanks for your help !
[06:45] <vblanton> hello everyone, for some reason, after I set up gnome to remember what applications are open, I only get a white screen when starting ubuntu. does anyone know how to reset gnome to it's defaults?
[06:45] <finn__> I'll try, thanks

[06:48] <humbolto> how can I nice the thing by default
[06:48] <Pommie> vblanton : Turf both. If you want to 'try before you buy', you can just rename the directories and log out.
[06:48] <timo901> ermm i don't know what to do with the drivers they provide (ie compiling

[06:52] <[A] ndy80> how can i fix it?
[06:52] <icheyne> adaptr, I have never ever seen such an appallingly unintuitive UI.
[06:52] <adaptr> IdleOne: of course - just start aptitude without parameters

[06:52] <adaptr> icheyne: you may well be correct :)
[06:52] <icheyne> IdleOne, don't do it!

[06:52] <Dante123> hi all....trying to install ubuntu on the kids machine.....but problems getting gui up.....the pc has an integrated video card....but I use a second pci one.....any suggestions or boot parameters to invoke?
[06:53] <Dante123> says xserver GUI or something won't load
[06:53] <steel_lady> ok, thanx
[06:53] <black_13> ok
[06:53] <adaptr> yeah.. "or something"... no worries, we'll solve it in a minute

[06:53] <black_13> sudo ln -sf bash /bin/sh is very important
[06:53] <msandtorv> cannot "make" in fresh ubuntu server install. Tried both apt-get install "make" and "gcc" what more do I need?
[06:54] <Dante123> doing the best I can adaptr.....can't remember the exact wording......
[06:54] <Pommie> Dante123: You've disabled the onboard video in your bios correctly?
[06:54] <adaptr> msandtorv: you need !build-essential
[06:54] <msandtorv> ty
[06:54] <SpaceMerchant> icheyne, it's open source baby, you know where it fails so apparently you have the gumption to build/write  that perfect mousetrap
[06:54] <Dante123> In the bios....the only setup options are Auto and Onboard.....I have it set to Auto
[06:54] <b08y> help: does anyone know how i can insert assci symblos like, i did with ctrl+alt+number in windows?

[06:55] <VBB> Anyone: Why does an installer tells me that /dev/ aint a mounted unit
[06:55] <Zaggynl> Is there anything like this for Linux? http://www.zefhemel.com/upload/netlimiter.jpg
[06:55] <Pommie> Dante123: I'd hope that would work, but some MoBos also have a jumper setting to disable cards. Check the manual?
[06:56] <adaptr> Zaggynl: there probably is; why don't you try to explain it ?
[06:56] <steel_lady> other thing, I have soyntec 66 in 1 card reader. it works if I put SD card in but it doesn't  work for compact flash. the other thing, I have pda HP ipaq, I suppose it is impossible to install programs on it through linux?
[06:56] <Dante123> I'll check manual....thanks.  Also I guess I could pull pci video card and install using integrated video....then add pci card after Ubuntu is installed.....what do you think?
[06:56] <Zaggynl> adaptr, well, netlimiter allows the user to limit bandwith in general and per program
[06:56] <Zaggynl> with a gui
[06:57] <VBB> Anyone: Why does an installer tells me that /dev/ aint a mounted unit
[06:57] <adaptr> and I'm guessing the GUI part is mandatory, right ?
[06:57] <Zaggynl> adaptr, true
[06:57] <adaptr> then no, you probably won't find that
[06:58] <Zaggynl> oki, thanks
[06:58] <PTey> anyone who want's to help me setting up vnc in 6.10 ?
[06:58] <Hoag> Hey all.  Having a problem. I tried to empty the recycle bin, and it crashed when trying to delete some files that were apparently locked. Now when I click the log out button, nothing happens. How do I fix this?
[06:58] <Pommie> Dante123: It's possible to do, but you'll have to possibly change your XOrg server when you're done. It'd would involve editing your xorg.conf configuration, and possibly changing a symlink to point to a different binary.
[06:58] <black_13> Lynoure i have installed the debs what do i need to add or xorg.conf im a bit confused
[06:58] <gfxstyler> hi
[06:58] <bruenig> Hoag, what is broken?
[06:59] <timo901> guys i need a hand
[06:59] <gfxstyler> is it possible to change the language of kdevelop?
[06:59] <timo901> i been told to past this at the end of a file, Section "Extensions"  Option  "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
[06:59] <Lynoure> black_13: I have not needed the binary drivers myself, so I'm not sure
[06:59] <Hoag> bruenig: I tried to empty the trash bin, and it crashed. Now my log out button does nothing.
[06:59] <timo901> do i delete the part that was there before ?????
[07:00] <SpaceMerchant> timo901, I think that's for nvidia users
[07:00] <bruenig> Hoag, I can't imagine a way that those would be related unless you deleted files that had to do with the log out
[07:00] <SpaceMerchant> timo901, I think that's for nvidia users, that's why you disable it
[07:00] <Professor`> almost done install ^_^
[07:00] <SpaceMerchant> composting that is
[07:00] <black_13> Lynoure it looks like the howto is split into two sections one for 6.10 or 6.06
[07:00] <Hoag> bruenig: Well, I cant imaging what I'd have put them in the trash bin for. Is there a command to log out that I can try?
[07:01] <SpaceMerchant> "Composite" rather
[07:01] <bruenig> Hoag, you can restart, sudo shutdown -r now
[07:01] <Hoag> Alright, cheers!
[07:01] <timo901> SpaceMerchant:i see
[07:01] <timo901> im now going to follow the Install from Ubuntu repositories (easier)
[07:01] <SpaceMerchant> I think ati uses  dri there at the end of the file
[07:02] <timo901> SpaceMerchant:yess i can see DRI

[07:05] <PTey> i can't get VNC working, i've followed the official guide on ubuntus wiki but it doesn't work when i try to connect :(
[07:05] <inu> hi
[07:06] <inu> how will I install ubuntu 6.10 server?
[07:06] <Pommie> PTey : Do you have a firewall that might be blocking it?
[07:06] <Zaggynl> hmm trickle seems to work well for bandwith shaping, if only there was a frontend for it
[07:07] <PTey> Pommie: i don't really know :) i'm all new to linux, well i've tried it a couple of times before, but i'm used to the lazy way of installing apps on windows :D
[07:07] <IdleOne> !edgy | inu
[07:07] <ubotu> inu: Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseNotes
[07:07] <msandtorv> inu: you have downloaded: ubuntu 6.10 server image? if so, just burn to cd and reboot with cd in slot.
[07:07] <Pommie> PTey: Do you have a hardware firewall, like one made by Linksys or Dlink or SMC?
[07:08] <PTey> Pommie : no, or yes, but it can't even connect from the computer itself, if i put "localhost" in the vnc client :)
[07:08] <mrabbit> hello, there are desktop links to some of my partitions. how do i remove these links
[07:09] <finn__> it just won't install "libglu1-mesa"  :(
[07:10] <finn__> nvidia-glx: depends: libglu1-mesa but is not going to be installed or libglu1
[07:10] <finn__> but libglu1-mesa IS installed
[07:10] <riotkittie> desktop links? like shortcut folders?
[07:10] <Pommie> PTey: when you started vncserver, it should have reported a screen number. What #?
[07:10] <PTey> 1
[07:10] <mrabbit> links to where the partitions are mounted, but there are no options to remove them that i can find
[07:10] <timo901> which drivers should i install the ones from ati or the Install from Ubuntu repositories (easier)
[07:10] <Pommie> So if you  "telnet localhost 5801", does it connect or say refused?
[07:11] <Bnirkow> who know`s what i need to setup, to fix crash on bootsplash of ubuntu 6.10 ??
[07:11] <PTey> Pommie : i use port 5901 :), but i'll just try it :)
[07:12] <PTey> Pommie: Well it said: Trying <IP_ADDRESS>... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^] '.
[07:12] <jengc0il> how to remove debian dpkg
[07:12] <Pommie> PTey : Well if you use 5901, you should see the "RFB 003.003" message.
[07:12] <Intangir> http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/index.php
[07:13] <Intangir> test..
[07:13] <jengc0il> msandtorv:
[07:13] <jengc0il> any idea
[07:13] <Pommie> PTey : 5801 is the built-in webserver page.
[07:13] <Li`lEndian> when i try to install netbeans, i keep getting an error message saying that there's no JVM
[07:13] <inu> pommie
[07:13] <SpaceMerchant> jengc0il, is it one you installed?  read the README for 'uninstall'
[07:13] <Li`lEndian> but i've already install sun-sdk
[07:13] <Pommie> inu
[07:14] <Pommie> PTey : If you're still connected to 5801, enter "GET /" and hit enter a few times. It should spew HTML code at you.
[07:15] <riotkittie> why would you want to remove dpkg?
[07:15] <Pommie> PTey : However, if you connect to 5901 and get the RBE 003.003 message, then it's answering.
[07:15] <timo901> how do i back up my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:15] <SzArAk> tired of packages?
[07:16] <SzArAk> timo901: just copy it anywhere you will remember
[07:16] <IdleOne> timo901: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup
[07:16] <nolimitsoya> what about compiletime optimization and ubuntu; say i want my entire system compiled for my specific architecture, would that be possible using apt, or is that a gentoo-only thing? (or anything similar)
[07:16] <SzArAk> timo901: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /anywhere
[07:16] <timo901> thank you
[07:16] <inu>  i downloaded the ubuntu 6.10 server installer, i just burned it to a cd, the cd is bootable, but i dont know how to run the set-up. what should i do?
[07:17] <steel_lady> ok, is it really imposible or you are ignoring all the questions with 'forbidden' words?
[07:17] <IdleOne> inu probaly just hit enter and it should start the install
[07:17] <Gidgidonihah> hey i need some help installing grub.  After I installed ubuntu, it just boots into xp

[07:18] <IdleOne> steel_lady: ??
[07:18] <Pommie> inu: I don't know how to say this eloquently enough, but... follow the directions? :)
[07:18] <Pici> steel_lady : eh?
[07:18] <bluefox83> ok, the installer gets as far as the menu, then when it tries to boot a kernel, it restarts the computer..can anyone atleast point me in the right direction?
[07:18] <inu> idleone, the pc booted on the cd because of the DOS that i copied
[07:18] <Pommie> steel_lady : There is no easy way to do it. There is a syncce project, but it's more for older Windows Mobile PCs.
[07:19] <arke> Hello, got a question that a quick search of the ubuntu website didn't reveal ... can the ubuntu CD do repartitioning of NTFS?
[07:19] <steel_lady> my problem is with devices where I was putting additional drivers or programs in windows,, how to make my card reader, camara and PDA to work
[07:19] <Pici> arke : I believe it can
[07:19] <arke> Aah, beautiful :D
[07:19] <IdleOne> !ntfs | arke
[07:19] <ubotu> arke: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:20] <IdleOne> him wrong factoid
[07:20] <IdleOne> hmmm
[07:20] <Bnirkow> bluefox83 i have similar problem ==> crash on bootsplash in unbuntu 6.10 installer
[07:20] <arke> I guess I should just burn it and try it.
[07:20] <Gidgidonihah> ok checked out the dual boot page.  Problem is, grub didn't install for whatever reason
[07:20] <riotkittie> bluefox83: are you booting with a splash?
[07:20] <steel_lady> I don't need sync, I need to install programs on my PDA. so it means the only way to do it installing windows? what about drivers for msn camera, card reader etc?
[07:20] <Pici> arke: if you cant, you'll know it and you can quit the install
[07:21] <riotkittie> Gidgidonihah  > thats odd.
[07:21] <bluefox83> riotkittie, i'm booting with the alternate cd...
[07:21] <Pommie> steel_lady: card reader should be supported. It's generic. MSN camera, depends on what cam you have.
[07:21] <Tonren> How can I get my Ubuntu laptop on the wireless network to show up on a Windows desktops' My Network Places/Workgroup Computers list?
[07:21] <inu> thanks, i'll try all your suggestions...i love you all
[07:21] <SpaceMerchant> I have a usplash issue on shutdown, it looks like it hiccups close to the end of unloading.
[07:21] <Gidgidonihah> would it have anything to do with installing ubuntu on a 2nd HDD? And how might i go about manually installing grub?
[07:22] <riotkittie> bluefox83: oh, and that does not have a boot splash? im unfamiliar with that disc myself. so youre just seeing text?
[07:22] <Martiini> Tonren:  my laptop shows under winxp network places
[07:22] <steel_lady> card reader works only for SD card but not for others. for camara I need the driver to adjust colors and settings
[07:22] <darrell> would like to set my screen resolution to 1024x768.  I have a Dell Latitude LS with a Neomagic 256av device and its default settings in Ubuntu 6.10 is 800x600 any advice?
[07:22] <riotkittie> does it give you a specific error?  where is it locking up?
[07:22] <Tonren> Martiini: You didn't have to do anything crazy to make it happen?
[07:22] <bluefox83> i dunno, i used a "nosplash" thing in the boot option..still restarted the screen..
[07:22] <Pici> Gidgidonihah : where did you install grub to?
[07:23] <Pommie> steel_lady : If you can get your mobile PC to be recognized as a mountable USB drive, then you should be able to move files over to it.
[07:23] <SpaceMerchant> I can reboot and everything, I think it looks tacky due to a lack of smoothness.  kind of major problem cause it involves my ego.
[07:23] <Martiini> Tonren: you know how to configure samba , your routers , etc?
[07:23] <Gidgidonihah> i didn't configure grub or anything, just ran the installer.  winXP is on HDD1 and ubuntu was installed on a partition on HDD2
[07:23] <Tonren> Martiini: Um... no?  I mean, I know how to configure a router.  The internet works on all the machines.
[07:23] <hjmills> hi - im using skype and i can hear the other person but they cant hear me - could it be the drivers not supporting the mic?
[07:23] <riotkittie> darrell: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak && dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  ... or manually edit xorg.conf
[07:23] <Tonren> Martiini: I don't know how to configure Samba.
[07:23] <Pommie> steel_lady : card reader sounds either damaged or oddball. If it worked under Windows, likely 'oddball'.
[07:24] <steel_lady> I need to install on my PDA and not move to it. I need to execute from the system. actually I have all the programs in exe form
[07:24] <steel_lady> with windows it worked
[07:24] <wimpies> hjmills : I have that problem to : alsa 1.0.13/assign proper input port to mic/
[07:24] <humbolto> completely remove in synaptic is apt-get --purge remove on the command line, right?
[07:24] <riotkittie> Gidgidonihah: iirc, ubuntu's install doesnt ask anything re: GRUB, just auto does it
[07:24] <hjmills> wimpies: any solution?
[07:24] <riotkittie> Gidgidonihah: do you have a /grub dir in /boot ?
[07:24] <Martiini> Tonren:  samba is package for win networking .. it should be installed in ubuntu .. I cannot remember .. I think my network worked instantly
[07:25] <Pommie> steel_lady : Color adjusting your cam, well, that should be taken on as the task of the application you're using.
[07:25] <steel_lady> I have SD and CF cards on my PDA and linux in general recognizes only SD
[07:25] <bamzin> hi.. does anyone have a encore enrtr-104 router? i can't configure it right to share the internet access between 2pcs...
[07:25] <Gidgidonihah> @ riot i don't know, i can check and come back
[07:25] <Tonren> Martiini: Mine isn't.  I'll have to see if someone can help me out.
[07:25] <wimpies> hjmills : no not really.  I hope to upgrade to feisty ASAP (trying now) so that I get a new kernel and newer ALSA
[07:25] <Gidgidonihah> i'll have to load the live cd
[07:25] <BlueLagun1> Is there anyway to install specific feisty packages without upgrading my system?
[07:25] <riotkittie> Gidgidonihah: alright
[07:25] <Gidgidonihah> k thx back in a bit
[07:25] <timo901> im stuck
[07:26] <hjmills> wimpies: my plan also - the wifi may be better as well
[07:26] <Pommie> steel_lady : I have no idea about the CF/SD issue. There's hundreds of them on the market. Most are generic, and only worth $8.
[07:26] <Trentster> hey all, can someone assist me with installing PHP-JSON Module (v 1.1.1) on dapper, seems to only have 1.1.0 in the repos......would be very grateful...
[07:26] <Li`lEndian> hi, can someone please help me with running azureus- it doesnt seem to be working when I use the sun-java5 package. crashes after the splashscreen
[07:26] <DARKGuy> Hm, I wonder, does Ubuntu activates the swap partition by default? I just had to activate it today when installing from alternate CD (and I guess that was the issue I had with the normal install CD :/ so... it's a bug?)
[07:26] <novella93> nas
[07:26] <wimpies> hkmills : the problem is that the mic is not amplified enough. the driver needs to tell to the card that the selected input is a microphone so it amplifies but for some cards it does not work as it should.  like with mine ;(
[07:26] <Martiini> my atheros wlan card stopped working after I used module-assistant ( I think) ... How do I go about probing my ath0 wlan card and setting up wireless?
[07:26] <riotkittie> BlueLagun1: install feisty packages on edgy or dapper ?
[07:26] <steel_lady> my CF is of 4G and is not that cheap
[07:26] <Tonren> How can I get my Ubuntu laptop on the wireless network to show up on a Windows desktops' My Network Places/Workgroup Computers list?
[07:27] <hjmills> anybody tried using a bluetooth headset and dongle in skype and did it work?
[07:27] <Pommie> steel_lady : The reader itself, not the CF memory.

[07:28] <riotkittie> DARKGuy: it was activated for me
[07:28] <DARKGuy> riotkittie: but you used the guided partitioning? I always did and it never activated it for me >.< it created a Logical partition, not a primary ext3 one nor it did swapon :/

[07:28] <timo901> What dose this mean " Perform the following commands (where <version> is the version number of the installer):
[07:28] <Pici> DARKGuy : I think I saw it inactived once when I did a reinstall of Ubuntu, and in tht case the installer didnt create the partition, it was already there.

[07:28] <mgedmin> bcardarella: the apache package includes mod_rewrite, but it is disabled by default

[07:29] <Li`lEndian> i have the prompt box for the passwd which i enter everytime on the windows box, but can't seem to login-

[07:30] <Tonren> Martiini: Windows Network appears when I go to Places -> Network Servers, but when I double click on it, nothing's there.  THat may be because there are no Windows computers configured to share folders on the network.  However, I would expect to see my own laptop there, because it is configured ot share a folder.
[07:30] <bluefox83> Pommie, which buggy hardware?
[07:30] <DARKGuy> juano: well, you could try automatix, but they say it tends to break installs :/
[07:30] <riotkittie> memory, maybe?
[07:30] <bluefox83> the cdrom works fine..the hard drive works...
[07:30] <Pommie> The "unknown interrupt" message.
[07:30] <bluefox83> i've done memory tests, they work fine
[07:31] <longbean> dosnlinux: config files should be editable with any text editor
[07:31] <juano> DARKGuy: yeah id prefer a simple wma install
[07:31] <Pici> Have you tried a different install cd?
[07:31] <bluefox83> older knoppix cds boot
[07:31] <Pommie> memory might be fine, but the chipset may not be.
[07:31] <bcardarella> mgedmin: awesome. thanks!
[07:31] <BlueLagun1> riotkittie: edgy
[07:31] <dosnlinux> thanks
[07:31] <juano> DARKGuy: its weird cause i even see the plugin inside xmms and it wont work
[07:31] <Li`lEndian> umm...can anyone tell me which gstreamer pkg i've to install in order to get rhythmbox to play mp3?
[07:31] <riotkittie> when does that line pop up? is there anything vaguely coherrent near it? :P
[07:31] <juano> DARKGuy: plus all my other apps are playing wma with no problem
[07:31] <bluefox83> it's a celeron 2.7ghz
[07:31] <DARKGuy> juano: XMMS can have the plugin, but if your comp doesn't has the codec... oO
[07:31] <DARKGuy> juano: Ah, then that's another issue
[07:31] <juano> DARKGuy: ive got the codec
[07:32] <juano> DARKGuy: thats why my other apps play wma
[07:32] <Pommie> bluefox83: I'd be trying to find a hardware test diagnostic from the board manufacturer
[07:32] <DARKGuy> juano: I've seen that Audacious is a better replacement for XMMS, maybe that one will play your WMA files o.o?
[07:32] <DARKGuy> juano: yeah
[07:32] <juano> Audacious?
[07:32] <juano> is it xmms style?
[07:32] <riotkittie> wmas :o
[07:32] <DARKGuy> Pretty the same :)
[07:32] <riotkittie> yeah its basically a clone
[07:32] <SzArAk> yes
[07:32] <bluefox83> oh geez, i can install windows on that piece of crap but i can't install linux? what the hell
[07:33] <riotkittie> xmms -> beep and audacious
[07:33] <BlueLagun1> (01:26:48 PM) riotkittie: BlueLagun1: install feisty packages on edgy or dapper ?
[07:33] <Pommie> bluefox83: It's just an opinion. :-P
[07:33] <juano> DARKGuy: not available at the repos or is it?
[07:33] <DARKGuy> !audacious
[07:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about audacious - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:33] <DARKGuy> wtf oO
[07:33] <Pommie> I'm perfectly willing to accept that I might be wrong. :)
[07:33] <DARKGuy> I think it needs some special repos if I'm not mistaken

[07:34] <timo901> help me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1705/ i dont know what im instructed to do
[07:34] <DARKGuy> juano: add "deb http://static.audacious-media-player.org/ubuntu edgy main" to your /etc/apt/sources.list and clone that line and change deb by deb-src, then apt-get update and apt-get install audacious ^^
[07:34] <juano> DARKGuy: its weird, shouldnt it work if i installed the plugin correctly?
[07:34] <riotkittie> BlueLagun1: uhhhm. im not really sure. you might be able to do it by adding the feisty repos to your sources but there's the whole issue of dependencies and everything and chances are, it'd result in some serious breakage. but i dont know. youre probably better off compiling from source if you need a program or an update to a program
[07:35] <DARKGuy> juano: depends on the plugin, maybe it's broken o.o

[07:37] <Dante123> Ubuntu won't install with PCI graphics card
[07:37] <hjmills> Dante123: use the onboard then add in the pci?
[07:37] <timo901> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1705/
[07:37] <pagefault> it should turn off the onboard if another is present
[07:37] <mgedmin> wkerzend: I use mergedfb on ati 7500
[07:37] <Dante123> That's the only thing I can think of too....
[07:37] <Pommie> Dante123 : Yeah, what hjmills said. Might have to.
[07:37] <Martiini> Tonren:  you got lucky .. I was your pop-up
[07:38] <Pommie> What's the better video card make?
[07:38] <mgedmin> wkerzend: I need to actually boot my laptop with the external monitor connected, otherwise I will get only a black picture
[07:38] <timo901> help guys
[07:38] <Tonren> Martiini: Actually, it's still not working :\
[07:38] <Dante123> I would think that would be true pagefault.....but not sure and Dell support site seems sketchy on this...
[07:38] <pagefault> Dante123: it seems to be that way with our dell servers
[07:38] <pagefault> but no idea about their desktops
[07:39] <Professor`> woot
[07:39] <nolimitsoya> is the gentoo- and ubuntu /dev-tree compatible?
[07:39] <Dante123> i'm sure I have had livecd linuxes working on this machine before.....not sure why Ubuntu chokes on this same setup

[07:39] <juano> DARKGuy: thanks a lot!
[07:39] <Professor`> lovely 10 inch monitor
[07:39] <Pommie> pagefault : SHOULD be. I'd be inclined to agree, but... I've had older hardware that Linux insists on recognizing, despite BIOS settings, before. ;)
[07:39] <DARKGuy> juano: did it work? :)
[07:39] <timo901> any one have an idea what this is on about,
[07:39] <VBB> How do I enable ssh ?

[07:40] <pagefault> hehe
[07:40] <pagefault> yeah linux goes around the bios all the time
[07:40] <Dante123> is that a boot parameter hjmills??
[07:40] <BrownFrog> SecrethX: You'll probably have to change your xorg.conf file directly
[07:40] <callas> sup
[07:40] <bacos`> Hello

[07:40] <Pommie> Dante123 : I *think* there might be a kernel boot parameter.
[07:40] <mgedmin> VBB: sudo apt-get install ssh
[07:40] <SecrethX> BrownFrog, where can I find it? (freshly installed ubuntu ^^)
[07:40] <callas> I'll find out
[07:40] <Dante123> to force vesa?
[07:40] <cokeslut> dunno
[07:40] <Dante123> Pommie....to force vesa
[07:40] <wkerzend> mgedmin: interesting, If I boot my laptop with external screen connected it doesnt detect a screen anymore
[07:41] <BrownFrog> SecrethX: It should be at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:41] <VBB> ?help How do i enable ssh on Ubuntu ?
[07:41] <Martiini> Tonren:  you can try  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=12824292 .. thats all I have time for , sorry
[07:41] <Pici> VBB: client or server?
[07:41] <SzArAk> VBB: server?
[07:41] <Pommie> hmmm... I think that newer kernels will force nvidia or fb. It's been a long while.
[07:41] <mgedmin> wkerzend: did you try Fn-F7 while the laptop is booting to get the picture on both screens?
[07:41] <BrownFrog> SecrethX: Near the bottom of the file, there should be lots of "mode lines"; manually add your desired resolution to the beginning of said lines
[07:41] <mgedmin> VBB: sudo apt-get install ssh
[07:41] <Dante123> i'll google "ubuntu and dell 2400" to see if anyone else has found a solution
[07:41] <wkerzend> mgedmin: will try that
[07:41] <VBB> Pici, SzArAk: Server
[07:41] <SecrethX> BrownFrog, thanks ill try it out
[07:42] <BrownFrog> SecrethX: Then you'll have to restart X (I usually just reboot my computer)
[07:42] <hjmills> how do i make my pc automatically start a screen session called torrents running rtorrent when i boot up?
[07:42] <bacos`> out of interest

[07:42] <Hoag> Can anyone tell me the command to view an image? Eg "imageviewer "/home/image.png"" ?

[07:42] <Gidgidonihah> I loaded the live cd, and now i need to view my root on one of my partitions.  how might I do that?
[07:42] <mgedmin> Hoag: gnome-open /home/image.png should do what you want
[07:42] <Li`lEndian> hellooooooo? n-e-1? i cannot get rhythmbox to play mp3s i've searched via synaptic and installed almost all gstreamer plugins and universe stuff I could get my hands on.
[07:42] <Hoag> mgedmin: Thanks a lot!
[07:42] <Li`lEndian> but it still won't play :(
[07:43] <mevets> endian
[07:43] <juano> DARKGuy: whats the skins dir?

[07:45] <mgedmin> Hoag: gnome-open does the same thing as double-clicking on a file in the file manager
[07:45] <wkerzend> mgedmin: it stays on the external when booting
[07:45] <mgedmin> wkerzend: I have a Thinkpad, so things may be different :-/
[07:45] <Hoag> mgedmin: Ah, sorry. got the path wrong.. Cheers!

[07:51] <Li`lEndian> can i connect to windows machines via vnc? and if so, which package do i have to install on windows? i tried with ultravnc- with that, i cant connect with the windows machine from the ubuntu box.
[07:52] <TruthElixirX> So, anyone here a real expert at getting GRUB to install on a very very reluctant HDD?
[07:52] <Nevermore-Lap> why until i used wifi to connect to internet everything was speedy, when i used ethernet it started to take 5 min to boot...why
[07:52] <TruthElixirX> Had adaptr try to help me for about 3 or 4 hours yesterday
[07:52] <TruthElixirX> with no avail
[07:53] <Gidgidonihah> how do i mount my drives while in the live cd?
[07:53] <unop> Li`lEndian, ultravnc works -- but on windows you must ensure that the service is running and that the firewall isn't blocking connections on the VNC ports
[07:53] <ircusr> hi
[07:53] <unop> compengi, that depends on what kind of database that file is tied with -- do you know? what file extention?
[07:54] <ircusr> i'm running ubuntu under vmware under windows
[07:54] <hjmills> Pici: sorry - i keep lagging out :'(
[07:54] <ircusr> and I'm trying to setup 3d accel in vmware
[07:54] <ircusr> is that possible?
[07:54] <Li`lEndian> unop: ditto on that- didnt check out the firewall before. thanks.
[07:54] <rohan> ircusr: afaik, no
[07:55] <compengi> unop, let me check
[07:55] <rohan> vmware does not support 3d
[07:55] <ircusr> i read in the vmware website that it does
[07:55] <rohan> is there any kind of addon cd for edgy, that would make installation of extra codecs, software etc easy ?
[07:55] <bluefox83> ok, so i got the installer to work..i think her card reader was fucking things up so i disabled it in bios :)
[07:55] <ircusr> and on a ubuntu forum post that it was possible, it even got instructions
[07:55] <bluefox83> it had a wierd name like 1358 or something
[07:56] <unop> rohan, well, there are repositories you can add to your sources.list that make software installation easy -- among the software are quite a few coedcs packages
[07:56] <Nevermore-Lap> i deleted /etc/cron.d/prelink how can i recreate it?
[07:56] <unop> !w32codecs > rohan
[07:56] <IdleOne> !language | bluefox83
[07:56] <ubotu> bluefox83: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:56] <rohan> unop: yes, but it would be great if it were all on a cd
[07:56] <rohan> unop: to facilitate install on many machines, as well as so that i can distribute it to people interested in ubuntu
[07:57] <rohan> i see quite a few addon cd's available for dapper, but not edgy
[07:57] <unop> rohan, it would be indeed .. but most codecs are not released under an open license and therefore debian and ubuntu cannot officially include them in their distributions
[07:57] <rohan> not officially, ofcourse
[07:57] <compengi> unop, .db
[07:57] <ircusr> well??
[07:58] <TruthElixirX> brb

[07:58] <Delux_247> unop: I second that
[07:58] <unop> rohan, well, you can do two things -- create your own CD or setup your own "public" repository -- like !seveas has done
[07:58] <ircusr> rohan
[07:58] <Gidgidonihah> ok little help.  I'm in the live cd now.  I have 2 hdds.  on hdd 1 i have windows installed.  I then partitioned hdd2 and installed ubuntu on it.  However upon reboot, it didn't boot grub like i expected.  Just booted straight into xp

Thinking about installing using the integrated video card....then add the Nvidia one later
[08:02] <Dante123> sure how I do that.....and if I will run into the same problem again.  Any suggestions (outside of upgrade motherboard)???
[08:02] <cld2> does 6.10 come with SELinux enabled? thanks
[08:02] <rohan> ircusr: well, what card is ubuntu detecting it to be ? try lspci to find out

[08:03] <john1987> when i try to open o movie it says : "Error  opening/initilizing the selected video_aut (-vo )device
[08:03] <unop> compengi, err well, I don't really know if any program can open a .db file .. but try OpenOffice Base, it might just do -- but the proper way would be to find out what program created it and use that instead
[08:03] <rohan> which is the cd writing application for gnome, closest to k3b ?
[08:04] <cld2> rohan: for gnome its gnome-baker k3b is for kde
[08:04] <rohan> thanks

[08:06] <mgedmin> cld2: no it isn't
[08:06] <TruthElixirX> I need some help installing GRUB to my MBR... I think
[08:06] <cld2> mgedmin: thanks much.
[08:07] <jvai> hey ppl! virtualbox just open source themselves & they have a dapper .torrent! - http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads any1 familiar with them?
[08:07] <ant_> sup
[08:07] <eugman> Is there support for sd card reader in a laptop?
[08:07] <ircusr> dunno
[08:07] <h3xis> eugman, depends on the laptop
[08:07] <lmosher> Something is messed up w/ my install. "apt-get upgrade" responds that linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic must be held back. If I do a dist-upgrade it tries to remove nividia-glx in order to install that package.
[08:07] <h3xis> eugman, but more than likely, yes
[08:08] <ircusr> rohan:
[08:08] <ircusr> under VGA controller
[08:08] <eugman> Well, h3x1s, what if it doesn't seem to work by default?
[08:08] <ircusr> lspci gives
[08:08] <ircusr> :
[08:08] <h3xis> eugman, what laptop is it
[08:08] <rohan> yes ?
[08:08] <unop> lmosher, that's because there'll be a conflict if both those packages are installed at the same time -- do you use an nvidia card?
[08:08] <ircusr> [VMWARE VGA controller
[08:08] <jvai> my bad.. the forums..
[08:09] <TruthElixirX> Can anyone help me with GRUB
[08:09] <Tonren> cld2: I've installed swat, but navigating to http://localhost:901 produces nothing

[08:09] <rohan> ircusr: then, i think it is not working since it is not detected as an ATI card
[08:09] <ircusr> so, what can i do?
[08:09] <rohan> you need to change the vmware settings, but i dont know how
[08:09] <ircusr> damn
[08:09] <ircusr> does someone know?
[08:10] <M_Fatih_> i have a serious problem with my 5.2" external box usb hdd.. when i umount and swich to off mode in windows, there is no ugly sound.. but in ubuntu, i umount all partitions in my external disk and i switch the on/off button to off, then disk has poweroff with a ugly "cligk" sound.. i broked a external hdd with mount problems before.. and i don't want to break this hdd :( any idea? (sorry for bad english)
[08:10] <lmosher> unop, Yes my card is an geforce go 7800
[08:10] <dromer> anybody look at my error?
[08:10] <unop> ircusr, if i were you, i'd use the power of google to search vmware.org -- search this string -- "3d site:vmware.org"
[08:11] <mgedmin> dromer: looks like you need to install some package
[08:11] <dromer> hmm, what package could that be then mgedmin ?
[08:11] <mgedmin> dromer: apt-cache search libsmpeg suggests it's libsmpeg0
[08:11] <unop> lmosher, yes, don't worry about the l-r-m package ... it's held back because the new version conflicts with nvidia-glx but you need the latter to support your card
[08:11] <eugman> I have a mp6954 Platinum Notebook
[08:12] <dromer> mgedmin: oh, I checked libmpeg, but not libsmpeg :P
[08:12] <ircusr> unop, no results found
[08:12] <lmosher> unop, ok, so I should not do anything?
[08:13] <lmosher> unop, I guess that makes sense. Nothing is broken, so I'll let it be :P
[08:13] <TruthElixirX> Can anyone tell me a way to make sure that I have GRUB installed correctly?
[08:13] <Tonren> Will running "/etc/init.d/inetd restart" release my DHCP lease?
[08:13] <unop> ircusr, my bad, google does not seem to know much about that domain
[08:13] <SecrethX> hmm, nvm food first
[08:13] <SecrethX> woops
[08:13] <unop> ircusr, use the vmware.org search function then
[08:14] <Tonren> Hey everyone, I just want people on the Windows LAN to be able to browse my shared folders in My Network Places/Workgroup Computers.   How do I configure Samba for this?
[08:14] <diego> prueba
[08:14] <dotz> Guys, do you remember the name of the program, that automagically installed many properitary packages on Ubuntu / Debian?
[08:14] <ircusr> synaptic?
[08:14] <dotz> I'm googling, but w/o success.
[08:14] <unop> Tonren, were you not told about SWAT already?
[08:14] <jrib> !easyubuntu | dotz
[08:14] <ubotu> dotz: easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[08:14] <Tonren> unop: I was, and it doesn't work either.
[08:14] <dotz> jrib: Thanks, man! :)
[08:14] <alecjw> dotz: either easyubunt or automatix
[08:14] <Tonren> unop: Also, I prefer to understand how to edit configuration files by hand when possible.
[08:15] <ircusr> so, someone know how to edit .vmx settings in vmware to enable 3d hardware accel
[08:15] <ircusr> ???
[08:15] <unop> Tonren, well then, head over to samba.org and get your hands on the manual
[08:15] <SecrethX> Erm, I tried manually editing xorg.conf, but still my resolution cant be changed to 1280x1024 :S does someone has some suggestions?
[08:15] <Tonren> unop: I'd *also* like to just get it working first.  That's what Ubuntu is *about*, remember?
[08:16] <mohkohn> : hello. Is there a way to make a cd-i digital video disk play in ubuntu?
[08:16] <ant_> when i first installed ubuntu somehow i got a debian menu with a lot of nice options, after reinstalling i lost it... can anyone help me with this easy ?
[08:16] <Tonren> unop: I didn't come in here for someone to tell me "man smb.conf"
[08:16] <TruthElixirX> Is there anyway to check my grub installation
[08:16] <cld2> can anyone tell me how to uninstall things like openoffice and gimp and such?
[08:16] <tiolpxe> anyone know if ubuntu is compatible with ATI MOBILITY RADEON X1600?
[08:16] <unop> Tonren, don't get too caught up in wishfull thinking -- and you seem to forget that theres a reason manuals and documentations for products exist
[08:17] <mgedmin> Tonren: nautilus gives you an option to share folders in the popup menu when you click on a folder; then you can head over to smb.conf and see what it did
[08:17] <mohkohn> cid2 you should already have it in a new install of ubuntu
[08:17] <n2diy> cld2: use synaptic
[08:17] <mgedmin> when I tried it it broke down because there was a space in the filename ;)
[08:17] <Tonren> mgedmin: I did that.  It appears to have configured it correctly, but the shared folders still don't show up in Windows Network.
[08:17] <gmi01> hello, does ubuntu support the nvidia geforce go 7 series?
[08:17] <mgedmin> hmpf :/
[08:17] <mohkohn> otherwise sudo apt-get install gimp openoffice
[08:17] <Tonren> unop: If thinking I can easily share folders on the Windows Network is wishful thinking, Linux really DOES have a long, long way to go.
[08:17] <ben_> gmi01: I see no reason why not, unless it's very old or esoteric
[08:17] <gaspipe1> >flannel hey

[08:19] <gizmo_the_great1> Hi. In disk administration, one of my HDD's, which seems faulty as I cannot mount, format it or access it, has a slightly different logo to the other HDDs which are all working fine. Where could I find a 'legend' so that I can interpret wghat the logo means (the help file is corrupt or innaccisbler).
[08:20] <dromer> Cybercod: yes, -ish
[08:20] <Tonren> !ask | steve_
[08:20] <ubotu> steve_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[08:22] <VBB> Hi.
[08:22] <VBB> Is there a blue theme
[08:22] <Tonren> unop: I feel like I'm trying to do something extremely simple with Samba, so simple that no one bothers covering it in detail.  All of these HOWTOs are for printer shares, domain name servers and stuff like that.  Do I really have to understand the Windows networking infrastructure to share a freaking folder?
[08:22] <mc44> !lamp | troymcmclure
[08:22] <VBB> for Ubuntu ?
[08:22] <ubotu> troymcmclure: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.
