[16:06] <SeaPhor> what is the command for updating the package manager list?
[16:06] <VoidedCheck> sudo aptitude update
[16:06] <serge4> tomd123, yes but it seems that broken packages are not installed .
[16:06] <bent_> quesada: Well, I'm fond of GTK, so, the Gnome XChat does it for me.
[16:06] <[azrael]> hi, how do i get newsgroups on thunderbird work "could not find the server" is coming all the time
[16:06] <serge4> serge4, maybe those package are in cache..
[16:06] <Paddy_EIRE> deserteagle: inkscape is for vector graphics like adobe illustrator and xara xtreme
[16:06] <Pelo> morning folks
[16:07] <Leonidas_> morning
[16:07] <deserteagle> morning!
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> SeaPhor, caution using non-supported repos
[16:07] <quesada> I'm using xchat now. Is there any way to get nicks with different colors?
[16:07] <Paddy_EIRE> mourning Pelo
[16:07] <bent_> [azrael]: What newsgroup are you using?
[16:07] <bent_> ... dumb question.
[16:07] <Leonidas_> hey is sudo ap-get the same as sudo aptitude?
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> quesada, yes, it is in the available options
[16:07] <Paddy_EIRE> quesada: xchat or xchat-gnome
[16:07] <Jowi> amenado, I tried that. problem I encountered is that disk(1,0), which I believe is /dev/hdb is not recognised by grub
[16:07] <Pelo> anyone know how I can get those lines of text that display during boot  with various error msg  ?
[16:07] <fahadsadah> Leonidas_: No, aptitude is better
[16:07] <bent_> [azrael]: What isp are you using for your newsgroups?
[16:07] <quesada> Jack_Sparrow, xchat
[16:07] <Pelo> Paddy_EIRE, long time no see
[16:07] <Paddy_EIRE> :)
[16:07] <Starnestommy> Leonidas_: close, but aptitude when run with no arguments has an interactive interface
[16:07] <bazhang> Leonidas_: makes no difference apt-get or aptitude
[16:08] <Leonidas_> ?
[16:08] <Leonidas_> haha
[16:08] <deserteagle> Pelo: virtual terminal one i think
[16:08] <Leonidas_> Ok
[16:08] <Paddy_EIRE> Pelo: I have no idea what I have been doing... >_>  lost the head again I guess :D
[16:08] <Pelo> deserteagle, crtl alt f2 ?
[16:08] <deserteagle> yep
[16:08] <deserteagle> shows mine
[16:08] <Leonidas_> I just did sudo apt-get update and sudo aptitude update and it was exactly the same
[16:08] <deserteagle> err, Pelo: F1
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE, JUst like swimming, you will remember.. or drown
[16:08] <[azrael]> bent_ i tried some like de.comp.os.unix.linux none is working...
[16:08] <[azrael]> 119 i think
[16:08] <VoidedCheck> of course it does
[16:08] <Leonidas_> maybe it makes a difference with different apps?
[16:08] <fahadsadah> Leonidas_: The real difference is when you need to remove something
[16:08] <bent_> Jack_Sparrow: I'll probably attack it later. I'm too happy transfering most of my hard drive from another computer at 7.1mbs.
[16:08] <VoidedCheck> updating a package list is updating a package list
[16:09] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow: yeah... lol
[16:09] <SeaPhor> Jack_Sparrow: i just did a fresh install and my xchat is old
[16:09] <bent_> Jack_Sparrow: just found out about sftp. :P
[16:09] <quesada> Jack_Sparrow, I can't find the nick colors settings in the options
[16:09] <xomp> ok, all seems to be well other than an issue with my xorg.conf not being read properly in her user account. I can't enable "Customized" effects with CCSM :(
[16:09] <Leonidas_> How do you guys make your names a different color when you are talking directly to me>?
[16:09] <Starnestommy> Leonidas_: like this?
[16:09] <goodhabit> Hello. After chaning monitor to widescreen bootsplash looks very stretched. How to fix it?
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> SeaPhor, DOnt worry about the latest xchat. use the one from our repos that is tested and works
[16:09] <Leonidas_> yes
[16:09] <VoidedCheck> we don't your client does
[16:09] <Pelo> deserteagle, crtl alt f1 it is , thanks
[16:09] <Starnestommy> Leonidas_: say someone's nick at the start of a line
[16:09] <deserteagle> :)
[16:09] <VoidedCheck> your chat client sees your nick and "highlights"
[16:09]  * Pelo now only needs to figure out how to copy that stuf
[16:10] <bent_> [azrael]: Have you configured thunderbird for your isp's settings? Mine's news.verizon.net ... for example.
[16:10] <Leonidas_> Starnestommy hello
[16:10] <Leonidas_> did that work?
[16:10] <Starnestommy> Leonidas_: yes
[16:10] <deserteagle> Pelo: i think it should be in a log somewhere
[16:10] <fahadsadah> Leonidas_: I could use colours, but it would probably get me banned
[16:10] <fahadsadah> Testing
[16:10] <Pelo> deserteagle, my boot log is always empty
[16:10] <[azrael]> bent_ i have no idea
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo, dmesg ?

[16:10] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow, how do I use that ?
[16:10] <Leonidas_> Shepherd haha
[16:10] <Starnestommy> fahadsadah: the color blocking mode +c is set on most freenode channels
[16:10] <SeaPhor> Jack_Sparrow: how do i do that? the one i had before auto-completed with tab, this one just displays a list ?
[16:11] <fahadsadah> Damn!
[16:11] <Leonidas_> Starnestommy got it now thanks
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> SeaPhor, type another letter or two, this is a busy place
[16:11] <titusg> I'm having problems with apt now, after booting in recovery mode...tried to reinstall X, but apt fails every time with "pre-removal script returned error 127"
[16:11] <bent_> [azrael]: Well, you can't just type in that news group to login. Your ISP... usually... offers a news group server that you have to use. What isp do you have?
[16:11] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow,  nvm, got it
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo, sorry I wasnt faster
[16:11] <Leonidas_> Have any of you had to get a Creative Zen Vision M running?

[16:11] <Leonidas_> I can't seem to get it working correctly

[16:13] <xomp> when I run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" in my admin account, will any changes I made take effect on other user accounts? Because after i did that command it fixed compiz for me, now when I log in under my daughters account, I get "Can't enable effects", which is the same message I was getting before the "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and since she has a restricted account, I can't run this command :(

[16:14] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow, ;-)
[16:14] <bent_> xomp: I don't think so, I could check on my computer.
[16:15] <_aeGIs> I've installed AbiWord and would like msword mime type ICONS associated with it but can't seem to figure out how.  I've done the actual mime type association, and it opens Abiword fine... However, it still uses the OpenOffice icon which I do not like... Any ideas?
[16:15] <Godfather> is this under the monitor section or just plain at the botom of the conf file?
[16:15] <ethand> bent: what do you recommend?
[16:15] <xomp> bent_, that's alright, I can try. I haven't assuming they wouldn't be able too, but you never know haha

[16:16] <Leonidas_> LSG thanks for all your help the other night.  : >)
[16:16] <xomp> bent_, I've tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but it prompts me for my daughters password, which has no admin/root privs.
[16:16] <ubuntu-newb> it seems VERY simple, I feel like I've spent 3 hours with the solutioon under my nose, but don't know how to get it working
[16:16] <AlexQ> Hi. Where can I find the Intel Grpahics Media Accelerator Chipset driver for Ubuntu? On intel site I could only find the RPM...
[16:16] <murlidhar> Jack_Sparrow, have  u installed hardy?
[16:16] <bent_> xomp: Well, I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to do that in an admin account... but you could make that account a sudoer for a bit, I guess.
[16:16] <SeaPhor> Jack_Sparrow, do you know of a gui ftp server?
[16:16] <Pelo> ubuntu-newb,  jsut ask the question, this is a busy chanenl as you can see
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> murlidhar, Yes on one of my spare machines
[16:16] <bent_> xomp: It affects the whole computer.
[16:17] <rainarrow> Hello everyone, how do I choose which flash-plugin to use if I've got multiple ones installed?
[16:17] <Jack_Sparrow> SeaPhor, Sorry.. no, I dont ftp much
[16:17] <xomp> bent_, ok, my user account is admin and I did "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but it didn't effect this new user account I just created :(
[16:17] <murlidhar> Jack_Sparrow, cuz i am having troubles with internet in hardy . it doesn't work when i boot from hardy kernel
[16:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardy > murlidhar

[16:17] <Godfather> is this under the monitor section or just plain at the botom of the conf file?
[16:17] <ubuntu-newb> Gotcha. I'm running Gutsy on an old Dell desktop. I initially installed it at an office behind a firewaall (using proxy) and later took it home. initially I couldn't get online until I removed the proxy from the settings, etc. After doing so I was able to get online. that was 2-3 days ago
[16:17] <bent_> xomp: Really? That's odd. Well, I guess the "make her a sudoer" plan would work, just remember to flip that switch back.
[16:18] <xomp> bent_, ok, thanks :)
[16:18] <ubuntu-newb> later I tried to add that desktop's MAC physicall address to my router so help with internet access rules I had at home. but ever since that, I can't get back online
[16:18] <Pelo> later folks
[16:18] <amenado> Jowi-> i went to get coffee... try to run in command line  grub and then  root (  press tab twice to look for your bootable grub entries
[16:18] <dublpaws> ubuntu-newb: is it wireless?
[16:18] <Auctionedllama> Hi guys
[16:18] <murlidhar> Jack_Sparrow, i know but i could find anybody who could help me . since  u have always helped selflessly i am asking for u a favor
[16:19] <rainarrow> Pelo, thanks but there's no command "flash"
[16:19] <murlidhar> Jack_Sparrow, i know but i couldn't find anybody who could help me . since  u have always helped selflessly i am asking for u a favor
[16:19] <bent_> ubuntu-newb: Personally, I have no idea, but if you have like... more than one network interface, enshure that you are using the right mac address?
[16:19] <larry_> anyone know if there is a newer distro than 7.10 that is stable that is out yet
[16:19] <ubuntu-newb> also I tried playing around with Roaming mode/DHCP/Static under Network Manager, but could see that it registered an IP address from my router, and had a Subnet mask, but never could Ping google.com or anywhere else. It's ethernet, not wireless
[16:19] <bent_> larry_: Fedora 8? :P
[16:19] <Starnestommy> larry_: 8.04 will be out in a few days
[16:19] <Jowi> amenado, thanks. will have a look
[16:19] <dublpaws> ubuntu-newb: are you using wifi?
[16:19] <Jack_Sparrow> murlidhar, Can you get on irc with it or no internet at all.
[16:19] <dublpaws> ok
[16:19] <mehmet> how can i force quit firefox? but it is responding.
[16:19] <murlidhar> Jack_Sparrow, i am able to use internet when i boot from gutsy kernel
[16:19] <ubuntu-newb> well this desktop does have 2 ethernet ports. 1 is built into Motherboard, which I don't know if it still works, the other is a separate ethernet card,which I plug into
[16:19] <larry_> kool 8.04 is unbuntu rite
[16:19] <mehmet> i just got rick rolled and now it wont shut off
[16:19] <Starnestommy> yes
[16:20] <Auctionedllama> How can I enable my 3d Acceleration for my ATI X1650? I have my card functioning and have the right resolution, but whenever I enable the xserver-xgl file to use compiz, I get horrible FPS on all windows, and firefox looks terrible when I scroll. Any help would be great as to how I get rid of this "mesa" curse.
[16:20] <blotto> doh.. forgot to close my function.. what an idiot
[16:20] <murlidhar> Jack_Sparrow, no internet at all
[16:20] <ubuntu-newb> I have wifi on that Linksys router, but the desktop is plugged Ethernet
[16:20] <rainarrow> lemme explain a little more of my situation: I just install hardy today, and select that 3rd plugin (neither Gnash or Adobe) for flash when prompted by Firefox
[16:20] <larry_> boy that was a dumb question
[16:20] <wi-fi> SCARICARE
[16:20] <bent_> mehmet: Open a terminal, hit top, look for firefox, and then look for the number... hit ctrl-c, then type sudo kill (number).
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> murlidhar, are you running full hardy or did you try to just add the kernel
[16:20] <dublpaws> ubuntu-newb: I'd try hard resetting the router
[16:20] <bent_> larry_: There are no dumb questions.
[16:20] <rainarrow> I've forgot the name of that plugin, but later I found it doesn't work well, so I installed flashplugin-nonfree via apt-get
[16:20] <bent_> larry_: Unless you spell them wrong.
[16:20] <rainarrow> but seems my Firefox is still using the other flash plugin now
[16:20] <ubuntu-newb> yeah I was about to do that, I was wondering if you guys can tell me to run some commands from Termainal to diagnose the problem
[16:21] <Auctionedllama> How can I enable my 3d Acceleration for my ATI X1650? I have my card functioning and have the right resolution, but whenever I enable the xserver-xgl file to use compiz, I get horrible FPS on all windows, and firefox looks terrible when I scroll. Any help would be great as to how I get rid of this "mesa" curse.
[16:21] <dublpaws> ubuntu-newb: ifconfig  might tell you something usefull
[16:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Auctionedllama,  /join #Compiz
[16:21] <murlidhar> Jack_Sparrow, first i fresh installed hardy with an alternate cd , it didn't have any internet connecttion . so again i had to install gutsy and then upgrade it to hardy
[16:21] <Auctionedllama> thanks jack_sparror
[16:21] <mehmet> bent_: what number?
[16:21] <rainarrow> I tried dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree to no avail
[16:21] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[16:21] <blotto> I have a somewhat strange question... I recently installed gutsy (new computer forced me to upgrade) and suddenly there is no option to turn the computer off
[16:22] <rainarrow> deserteagle, do I need a specific type of coin for this?
[16:22] <Jack_Sparrow> murlidhar, what kind of network card?
[16:22] <ubuntu-newb> yes I ran that already, my eth0 shows an IP registered. <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:22] <bent_> mehmet: Well, when you run "top" it lists all programs running. In the row where firefox is, there is a number on the far left. Kill that number.
[16:22] <ubuntu-newb> but like I said if I do  - ping google.com, I get nothing back, it just sits there
[16:22] <Jack_Sparrow> rainarrow, did you uninstall gnash?
[16:22] <murlidhar> Jack_Sparrow, ethernet
[16:22] <bazhang> blotto that is an interesting question; please pastebin your sources.list thanks
[16:22] <Jack_Sparrow> murlidhar, make and model of network card please
[16:22] <blotto> you tried what I suggested yet? please pastebin your sources.list to see if that is the issue
[16:22] <murlidhar> Jack_Sparrow, lspci gives me 01:05.0 Ethernet controller: MYSON Technology Inc SURECOM EP-320X-S 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter
[16:22] <amenado> ubuntu-newb-> try not to use same router as gateway for your two nic cards, or else your packets gets confused as to which gateway to use, (you have to use diff route tables if you really want to)
[16:23] <bent_> mehmet: " 7099 bent      20   0  728m  59m  22m S    4  6.4   0:49.88 rhythmbox"  you'd kill the first number.
[16:23] <murlidhar> Jack_Sparrow, it is an intex card
[16:23] <rainarrow> Jack_Sparrow, I didn't install gnash in the first place, there's a new plugin beside the adobe one and gnash in hardy
[16:23] <bazhang> blotto please stop now
[16:23] <xu> ko
[16:23] <rainarrow> Jack_Sparrow, and that's what I chose to install at first
[16:23] <amenado> ubuntu-newb-> also  paste in pastebin your  route -n
[16:23] <dublpaws> ubuntu-newb: have you tried pinging a plain IP address ?
[16:23] <ubuntu-newb> yeah I think the problem is with the Gateway. but how do I configure that?
[16:23] <rainarrow> Jack_Sparrow, and the worse is I can't remember the name of that plugin...

[16:26] <Stroganoff> {g} what is says
[16:26] <Veinor> For some reason I can't get anything to resolve via DNS
[16:27] <bent_> rainarrow: I'm running 8.04... what about flash?
[16:27] <Veinor> I can connect to things fine via IP addresses, but my dns doesn't seem to work at all.
[16:27] <Jowi> amenado, (hd1,0) is definetley available. I will try to add rootnoverify to it and give it another go. thanks.
[16:27] <ubuntu-newb> amenado: how do you pastebin? tell me how to do this?
[16:27] <AlexQ> Where can I find driver good for OpenGL games for Intel Graphics Chipset? On Intel home page it's only x386 RPM package, but I have AMD64 (so I can't use alien, i tried). How can I get good acceleration? Eg. PlaneShift works totaly bad.
[16:27] <bent_> rainarrow: I installed flash-nofree, and it works in amd64... do you want me to check the version?
[16:27] <goodhabit> Veinor, routes maybe?
[16:27] <Veinor> routes?
[16:27] <gwork> Does anyone know if gimp can't handle Intel Core 2 Duo's? i'm getting core-dumps
[16:27] <goodhabit> bent_, I'm running hardy, flash is ok.
[16:27] <rainarrow> bent_, nope, did you notice there's a NEW plugin other than gnash and adobe?
[16:27] <goodhabit> Vecnah, what kind of internet connections do you have?
[16:27] <Veinor> it works when I boot into windows
[16:28] <Veinor> on this machine
[16:28] <rainarrow> bent_, I need the name of that plugin..
[16:28] <goodhabit> Vecnah, $ cat /etc/resolv.conf
[16:28] <bent_> rainarrow: Not when I quickly looked for flash in synaptic.
[16:28] <Jack_Sparrow> murlidhar, I cant find anything on that issue.. wish I could help..
[16:28] <tomd123> gwork: gimp works fine here on t5500
[16:29] <bent_> rainarrow: klash is new to me.
[16:29] <thushara> hi
[16:29] <thushara> hahahahahahha
[16:29] <thushara> huhuhuhu
[16:29] <murlidhar> Jack_Sparrow, do u think i should file a bug or is it me that i am missing something
[16:29] <bent_> rainarrow: It's gnash for KDE... that's different. :P
[16:29] <Veinor> Huh. Fixed it.
[16:29] <tiocsti> ive had no problems with gimp on my T7300

[16:29] <ubotu> thushara: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[16:29] <gwork> tomd123: thanks, i'm using a E6550, any idea how i can analyze what's wrong?
[16:29] <bazhang> thushara: welcome to ubuntu do you have a support question
[16:30] <amenado> !paste | ubuntu-newb
[16:30] <ubotu> ubuntu-newb: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[16:30] <rainarrow> bent_, thanks anyway, I chose that new plugin at first, then it won't go away even after I installed flashplugin-nonfree
[16:30] <thushara> !abuse | murlidhar
[16:30] <ubotu> murlidhar: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[16:30] <rainarrow> bent_, and I'm trying to solve that
[16:30] <murlidhar> lol
[16:30] <bent_> rainarrow: there's a libflash0c2, and libflashsupport.
[16:30] <dublpaws> ubuntu-newb: it sounds like DNS isn't configured properly at your router, so the domain names aren't being resolved.  You might try setting the DNS address to <IP_ADDRESS> in the router config.
[16:30] <amenado> Veinor is your /etc/resolv.conf  okay?
[16:30] <bent_> rainarrow: Ooh! what about libflash-swfplayer? That might be the problem.
[16:30] <ubuntu-newb> how do I pastebin from that desktop, I'm chatting in this room using another computer?
[16:31] <omps> hi all
[16:31] <macbook> macbook user needs  chown/sudo/permissions assiatnce. anyone have a moment ?
[16:31] <murlidhar> ubuntu-newb, perhaps a pendrive can help u
[16:31] <p-peter> hi
[16:31] <amenado> ubuntu-newb-> you have to manually enter it on a web browser ifyou can not just cut and paste, its a lil work ,but if you wanted help, you have to do your part
[16:31] <rainarrow> bent_, I'm trying
[16:31] <ubuntu-newb> AHA, Flash drive? smart idea, gimme a sec
[16:31]  * kindofabuzz gives ubuntu-newb
[16:32] <kacey_> I am wondering if anyone here has experience with wine and alsa sound?

[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[16:33]  * bent_ found the cap to his USB dongole.
[16:33] <rainarrow> bent_, seems it's not that one, I removed libflashsupport, which depends on flashplugin-nonfree
[16:34] <rainarrow> bent_, after which my Firefox still use that ****ing pluging
[16:34] <Jack_Sparrow> bent_, OT but I use a dab of epoxy and epoxy the cap to the metat clip on the strap to keep them together
[16:34] <bent_> rainarrow: Hm. Sorry, I dunno.
[16:34] <rainarrow> bent_, ok, thanks anyway
[16:34] <bent_> Jack_Sparrow: Super. Now I need to find the actual wireless dongole.
[16:35] <Jack_Sparrow> bbl.. time to make nice with the wife.. play nice
[16:35] <spe3dy> dongole
[16:35] <spe3dy> lol
[16:35] <Kolie> Hello. using ubuntu server here, I already got most of my iptables setup, but im trying to redirect all traffic coming through this computers gateway on a specific lan to another host, trying /sbin/iptables -A PREROUTING -s <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS> -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination <IP_ADDRESS> but its saying invalid chain name
[16:35] <spe3dy> people still use that word?
[16:36] <bent_> Kay, xchat +compiz fusion+ motion blure is fun!
[16:36] <Lempface> i just installed jedit.. how do i add it to my applications drop down at the top of my screen
[16:36] <bent_> spe3dy: yes. 'cuz that is what it said in the box.
[16:36] <spe3dy> motion blur messes with my head bent_  haha
[16:36] <rainarrow> Anyone know the name of that new flash-plugin(other than adobe and gnash) in 8.04?
[16:36] <joti6> hello everyone
[16:36] <spe3dy> bent_,  yeah its a little crappy name made by ,arketers
[16:36] <spe3dy> *marketers
[16:36] <tomd123> rainarrow: swfdec?
[16:36] <VoidedCheck> blur is one of the truly useless plugins
[16:37] <VoidedCheck> and it amkes me ill
[16:37] <bent_> Lempface: How'd you install it?
[16:37] <VoidedCheck> *makes
[16:37] <Lempface> java -jar jedit.jar
[16:37] <joti6> i've got the ubuntu 8.04 rc server running here, i installed the xen package with xen3.2.0 and experience real slow network troughput from the dom0
[16:37] <spe3dy> to be fair, all the plugins are uselsss, more or less
[16:37] <bent_> It makes me feel special. Or that I have a pbroken screen.
[16:37] <VoidedCheck> well some of the tab plugins are actually useful
[16:37] <VoidedCheck> *alt tab plugins
[16:38] <bent_> "turning up motion blur strength is more painful.
[16:38] <joti6> i've got a gbit if (forcedeth) and i get max. 1,7mb throughput via sftp to another gbit if
[16:38] <Kolie> what is the equivalent of the PREROUTING chain in ubuntu?
[16:38] <rainarrow> tomd123, oh! Thanks, seems it's this one
[16:38] <bent_> Ooh, but turning it down low has a nice effect! do it! Now!
[16:38] <ubuntu-newb> OK guys, I performed route -n, ping that google IP, I went to that Pastebin webpage. which Syntax do I select when I copy & paste?
[16:38] <spe3dy> yeah, super + tab is nice
[16:39] <Lempface> bent_ i installed it with java -jar jedit.jar
[16:39] <bent_> Lempface: Kay, I was sort of quiet because I didn't know,  and was hoping someone else would jump in.
[16:39] <bent_> And motion blur distracted me.
[16:40] <ubuntu> hey once the final release of ubuntu comes out can we just run the update or would we have to download it and install it after a format?
[16:40] <jewjew> Does anyone know how to change the picture used for the show-hide buttons in gnome panels?
[16:40] <spe3dy> ubuntu, you can update
[16:40] <VoidedCheck> you could update, but it's infinitely better to clean install
[16:40] <spe3dy> should work fine
[16:40] <bent_> ubuntu: Running the normal upgrade should be okay.
[16:40] <ubuntu> awesome, thanks
[16:40] <joti6> could anyone give me an idea what might cause the slow networkperformance with xen
[16:40] <spe3dy> i agree with VoidedCheck though, i prefer a clean install
[16:40] <joti6> would be highly appreciated
[16:40] <bent_> Thirded!
[16:40] <ubuntu> ill probably do that then
[16:41] <SeaPhor> Ok I have a fresh install of 7.10 32bit - i turned off wpa2 on my router, and i still cant get rtl8185 to work but i think its me and not the machine
[16:41] <sparr_> [how] can i make apt download multiple files at once?
[16:41] <aimchanger> sparr_: just add the name after the previous one
[16:41] <Valtiel-I> Bad Sector - Negative
[16:42] <Valtiel-I> :)
[16:42] <aimchanger> sparr_:  like this: sudo apt-get install apache firefox
[16:42] <bent_> sparr_: when you type apt-get install... add as many programs as you want.
[16:42] <sparr_> aimchanger: key words, "at once"
[16:42] <aimchanger> sparr_: that will install apache and firefox for example
[16:42] <sparr_> aimchanger: as opposed to "sequentially"
[16:42] <aimchanger> sparr_: yes I know I know
[16:43] <rainarrow> tomd123, it's is the swfdec, I forgot I could just right-click->About to look for the name, how stupid of me
[16:43] <aimchanger> sparr_: I'm not too sure.. it probably would be that much faster anyways
[16:43] <murlidhar> Jack_Sparrow, do u think i should file a bug or is it me that i am missing something
[16:43] <ubuntu-newb> amenado: which Syntax do I use when I paste the output of Terminal into that Pastebin webpage?
[16:44] <Cew27> can anyone here tell me what a release candidate is
[16:44] <tiocsti> syntax is only for highlighting, you can ignore it mostly
[16:44] <sparr_> aimchanger: it would be much faster :(
[16:44] <tiocsti> cew: better than a beta, less than a release
[16:44] <p-peter> Will gnash work correctly for Youtube-player in hardy? last time i trid it the buttons have been crippled
[16:44] <Cew27> can i update from rc to final in 4 days
[16:44] <Lempface> hmm i can't even run jedit from the commandline after install
[16:44] <ubuntu> i just asked that cew
[16:44] <Lempface> says no such command as jedit, but im certain thats the correct command
[16:44] <amenado> ubuntu->  route -n     results is what i wanted
[16:44] <ubuntu> and yes you can
[16:45] <tiocsti> jedit isnt in the base system
[16:45] <VoidedCheck> long as she doan' rain
[16:45] <tiocsti> did you install it?
[16:45] <Unxuxu> hi... how to check how video memory is in use?
[16:45] <Lempface> yes tiocsti
[16:46] <Lempface> used java -jar jedit.jar to install and it worked
[16:46] <tiocsti> what shell do you use? if using csh style shells (tcsh, what have you) try entering rehash then try jedit again
[16:46] <Lempface> but after that jedit doesn't open
[16:46] <murlidhar> Seveas, could u come to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[16:46] <tiocsti> otherwise, check to see where jedit was installed
[16:46] <murlidhar> Seveas, u are needed there
[16:46] <Unxuxu> hi... how to check how video memory is in use?
[16:46] <kyleky> Is there anyway I can add myself back to sudousers (or whatever that group is called) via ssh
[16:46] <Lempface> using whatever terminal is the base install
[16:47] <kyleky> without hard access or another account
[16:47] <jewjew> Does anyone know how to change the picture used for the show-hide buttons in gnome panels?
[16:47] <ubuntu-newb> ok amenado I think I figured out the Pastebin lol. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63840/
[16:47] <kyleky> I messed up my account permissions by accident
[16:47] <bent_> kyleky: you can edit the sudoers file, but I forgot where that is.
[16:47] <bent_> kyleky: I'ma go look.
[16:47] <ubuntu-newb> amenado: I had to select Bash for the Pastebin syntax, I guess it doesn't matter
[16:47] <kyleky> can i edit that without sudo?
[16:47] <Lempface> how do i rehash tiocsti
[16:48] <ubuntu-newb> amenado: but do you see what is needed from that pastebin address?
[16:48] <Unxuxu> hi... how to check how video memory is in use?
[16:48] <tiocsti> rehash is a shell builtin in *csh
[16:48] <bent_> kyleky: Erm, you might not be able to. But, you can boot into the recovery console, and have root from there.
[16:48] <amenado> ubuntu-newb-> can you use another nick, am tired of typing ubuntu,
[16:48] <kyleky> i think i can do it from there
[16:48] <tiocsti> but it's mor elikely that jedit installed itself somewhere thats not in your path
[16:48] <Unxuxu> hi... how to check how video memory is in use?
[16:48] <kyleky> its just i dont have hard access
[16:48] <ubuntu-newb> amenado: yeah I understand sorry bout that. gimme a sec,
[16:48]  * kindofabuzz gives ubuntu-newb
[16:48] <kyleky> until tomorrow
[16:49] <Lempface> think its /home/lempface/jedit
[16:49] <Unxuxu> hi... how to check how video memory is in use?
[16:49] <bent_> kyleky: Erp! Well, you might have to wait untill then.
[16:49] <bent_> !ask | uxuxu
[16:49] <ubotu> uxuxu: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[16:49] <bent_> ... whoops.
[16:50] <bent_> Unxuxu, wrong factoid.
[16:50] <Unxuxu> bent_ : How can I check how much video memory is in use?
[16:50] <ubuntu> unxuxuL try lspci in terminal s
[16:50] <deserteagle> back
[16:50] <ubuntu> - the s
[16:50] <deserteagle> someone said something to me?
[16:51] <Lempface> what is the executable file i'm looking for to run jedit? im pretty new to linux
[16:51] <spe3dy> looooong ago
[16:51] <Unxuxu> ubuntu: ok.. tks... I will try it
[16:51] <bent_> gigantor: yay, another fios user. :P
[16:51] <sparr_> let's say im downloading ten packages.  nine 1MB packages from a fast repository, and one 1MB package from a slow repository.  for the sake of argument, let's say that "fast" is 90kB/s and "slow" is 10kB/s.  apt is going to spend 100 seconds downloading the first nine packages, then 100 more seconds downloading the last package.
[16:51] <sparr_> if i could get apt to download both at the same time, and pessimistically assuming that I have a bandwidth cap of 90kB/s, the whole process would only take 111 seconds, instead of 200 seconds.  does that shed light on my goal?
[16:51] <Unxuxu> ubuntu: this commando does not tell me about memory
[16:52] <bent_> sparr_: Unless they are linked, just install them seperately?
[16:52] <bazhang> sparr_: does not work that way
[16:52] <ubuntu> hold please
[16:52] <Unxuxu> bent_ : How can I check how much video memory is in use?
[16:52] <sparr_> bent_: how does that help?
[16:52] <sparr_> bazhang: does not work [the way im looking for]?
[16:52] <bazhang> sparr_: indeed not
[16:52] <tiocsti> lemp; i would guess find /usr -name jedit but i dont use jedit, so it's tough to say
[16:52] <sparr_> bazhang: i could swear ive seen apt showing multiple download progress meters at the same time, without my asking it to
[16:53] <scotti1> amenado: it's me ubuntu-newb
[16:53] <tiocsti> lemp: that should display all the files named jedit (eventually)
[16:53] <bazhang> sparr_: but that is outside your control
[16:53] <sparr_> bazhang: :(
[16:53] <scotti1> amenado: did you look at my pastebin?
[16:53] <bent_> sparr_: Well, download what you want from the fast repo first, then the other stuff later. But, it tends to not work that way, instead going in the order you wanted to do them. If you are really in a pickle, you could download .deb files from somewhere else.
[16:53] <amenado> scotti1-> okay..yeah the route table looks okay, now lets see the contents of  /etc/resolv.conf
[16:53] <Lempface> tiocsti, it ran from a /usr/jedit/jeditver/java -jar jedit.jar
[16:54] <sparr_> bent_: the order does not affect the total time, in the sequential example.
[16:54] <Lempface> anyway to add that to the shell or to my applications menu drop down at top of screen
[16:54] <sparr_> bazhang: so far, in my experience, "outside your control" with apt means "[un/poorly] documented feature"
[16:54] <ubuntu> try googling it unuxu
[16:54] <amenado> scotti1-> btw you can ping <IP_ADDRESS>  so it seems its okay now?
[16:55] <soc> hi
[16:55] <sparr_> bazhang: and the people with the most apt experience are distro snobs  :(
[16:55] <bazhang> Unxuxu: what is your goal with video memory usage
[16:55] <scotti1> amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63842/
[16:55] <soc> i'm trying to compile a list of wireless producers ...
[16:55] <scotti1> amenado: let me ping that, 1 sec
[16:55] <soc> intel, broadcom, atheros, zydas ... which ones are missing?1
[16:56] <bazhang> soc: there are long online lists already; several hundred of them in fact
[16:56] <scotti1> amenado: yes I pinged <IP_ADDRESS> and it works
[16:56] <Unxuxu> bazhang: I dont know how much video memory has in this pc...  Its not mine.
[16:56] <p-peter> apt-get moo
[16:56] <sriramoman> i installed some new programs yesterday(mainly games and all officially supported) and since then cpu speedstepping is no more supported in powersave.
[16:56] <bazhang> Unxuxu: what is the card lspci will list that
[16:56] <Unxuxu> bazhang: I just want to know...  intel 915g
[16:57] <bent_> sparr_: When I use apt, I get two files downloading at once, in the order they were listed. You still have to wait for the last file to finsish. Eh, sorry, don't understand what is wrong with apt at this point.
[16:57] <sriramoman> what library do i need to (re)install to enable speedstepping back?
[16:57] <VoidedCheck> aptitude -v moo
[16:57] <bazhang> Unxuxu: okay just a second please
[16:57] <p-peter> lol
[16:57] <Unxuxu> bazhang: tks.
[16:57] <sparr_> bent_: my apt does that sometimes.  but not always.  and when it doesnt, things go slower.
[16:57] <soc> bazhang: i'm looking for the most popular ones ...
[16:57] <VoidedCheck> aptitude -vvvvv moo
[16:58] <VoidedCheck> super snake powers
[16:58] <soc> i fear that i missed one or two ...
[16:58] <SeaPhor> is there a good network manager for wireless in the repos?
[16:58] <vicky123> hi
[16:58] <sparr_> SeaPhor: you dont like nm-applet?
[16:58] <sparr_> try knetworkmanager
[16:58] <ng0n> xserver-xorg is the package i reconfigure with sudo dpkg-reconfigure.
[16:58] <errpast> laptop recommendations for Ubuntu? I just want it to work
[16:59] <ng0n> question: who do i call that routine for SOUND card ?
[16:59] <tiocsti> M1330
[16:59] <errpast> $500-%800
[16:59] <sparr_> i switch back and forth between them.  they have similar wireless options, but maybe one will be better for you.  i switch because both have different VPN bugs
[16:59] <SeaPhor> sparr_, not configureable, wont allow me to tell it no encryption
[16:59] <bazhang> http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/301467.htm pdf here Unxuxu
[16:59] <tiocsti> or a lower end ubuntu dell laptop
[16:59] <tiocsti> not sure whats available in that price range
[16:59] <ng0n> how do i call 'reconfigure' of sound card ?
[16:59] <errpast> m1330
[16:59] <djouallah> is it possible to install ubuntu in a flash disk from windows xp ?
[17:00] <errpast> is that what you use?
[17:00] <SeaPhor> sparr_, and it wont scan for networks
[17:00] <bent_> sparr_: I guess I've been spoiled with a fiber connection, never quite got the "long waits" that made me think.
[17:00] <bazhang> www.pendrivelinux.com has the answers djouallah
[17:00] <tiocsti> i like laptops, i have more than 1 :) but i have a 1330 yeah
[17:00] <djouallah> ok bazhang  thanks
[17:01] <amenado> scotti1-> so it works okay now? no more issues?
[17:01] <scotti1> amenado: should I reset ubuntu back to original default out-of-box network settings? if so, how do I do this, because I thought ever since I tried to mess with the default Roaming mode under Network Manager, and tried to set that ethernet card to DHCP or Static, that I screwed something up. what do you think? Is my Resolv.conf correct? I'm just trying to connect it to the Router, nothing special.
[17:01] <errpast> ok, I just gg. that's about a grand. I could do that
[17:01] <errpast> did wireless work out of box.
[17:01] <zvacet> SeaPhor :  you can try this http://wicd.sourceforge.net/
[17:01] <vicky123> is that possible to install XP again after Linux and again use linux?
[17:01] <scotti1> amenado: no. like I said, that IP address you gave, I was able to ping.
[17:01] <tiocsti> errpast, get the ver with ubuntu preinstalled, everything works
[17:01] <bazhang> vicky123: sure but you then need to fix grub
[17:01] <scotti1> amenado: but for some reason if I go to Firefox I can't load anything. likewise I cannot ping google.com or yahoo.com
[17:01] <HymnToLife> vicky123: yep, just reinstall GNUB
[17:01] <HymnToLife> GRUB*
[17:01] <sriramoman> when i use a kde-based app like konversation and i open a url, it opens thru openoffice instead of firefox. how do i change this?
[17:02] <amenado> scotti1-> well for one, ethernet connection do not need roaming, so you are okay, just save a copy of this working /etc/network/interfaces file
[17:02] <vicky123> how can u plz tell me
[17:02] <Unxuxu> bazhang:   LOL... this model can hang too many memories amounts... I need to know via OS, how much memory is in use... Is it so hard to discover?
[17:02] <Unxuxu> dammmn it

[17:02] <tiocsti> errpast: www.dell.com/ubuntu -- the m1330 is on their list of ubuntu machines now
[17:02] <ng0n> no sound in lubuntu with new MB.  how doi call sound module reconfigure screens ?
[17:02] <Rods_Tiger> I've been told that in the OS called "Windows" there's a software called "Sandra" which does diagnostics, testing, profiling and such like. What does that in Ubuntu?
[17:02] <scotti1> amenado: do you want me to pastebin me interfaces file?
[17:02] <amenado> scotti1-> lets try this  type  dig www.yahoo.com
[17:02] <errpast> tiocsti, thanks a lot.  I like to hack, but am out of work now, and have little hacking time
[17:02] <errpast> appreciate it
[17:02] <bazhang> sriramoman: depends on the link; jpgs will open with gwenview, etc
[17:02] <HymnToLife> Rods_Tiger: hardinfo is the closest match
[17:02] <errpast> ttyl errpast
[17:02] <sriramoman> i mean url
[17:02] <Rods_Tiger> aha - thanks
[17:03] <vicky123> join #RED hat
[17:03] <HymnToLife> but it won't give you nearly as much info as Sandra or Everest
[17:03] <sriramoman> how do i make it open with firefox instead of openoffice?
[17:03] <amenado> scotti1-> may as well, go ahead and paste it
[17:03] <HymnToLife> sriramoman: using Gnome or KDE?
[17:03] <sriramoman> Gnome
[17:04] <HymnToLife> hmm, maybe you can still manage that hrough kcontrol, try to run it in a terminal
[17:04] <sriramoman> ok
[17:04] <amenado> scotti1-> you also seemed to be missing  "search  adomain.name.net"  on your resolv.conf   it can be a dummy domain. but thats how i have mine
[17:05] <deserteagle> ok, i installed mono
[17:05] <deserteagle> now how do i get a windows app that needs .net to run in wine?
[17:06] <mattywarr> hi there - my appearance preferences screen has frozen - i'm attempting to be a windows convert and wonderd if there is any taskmanager equivilent, or a way close the window
[17:06] <torkel_> Is the package ubuntu-xen-server working on an amd64 installation?
[17:06] <sriramoman> why does wine(from synaptic) cause the system to hang when opened?
[17:07] <sriramoman> me on x86_64 gutsy.
[17:08] <tiocsti> maybe this is offtopic, but does anyone know if there are any linux drivers anywhere for hspda cards?
[17:08] <david567> hello
[17:08] <Jadewolf> Hi I was wondering if ubuntu is better then mandriva for running games or are the basically the same just different 'flavours'?
[17:08] <david567> can anyone tell me of a program that i can use to create a video dvd with menu, background and ecc?
[17:08] <Lempface> what would be a oneline command to run a program in /usr/jedit/jeditver/, it runs from java -jar jedit.jar
[17:09] <tiocsti> jade: the underlying game support is bound to be similar (basically wine)
[17:09] <Lempface> so i can add it to the gnome menu
[17:10] <bazhang> david567: devede may be worth a look
[17:10] <Jadewolf> darn, seems like all the docs I read people have no problem with World of Warcraft on ubuntu or if they do the 'fix' out here seem to fix it
[17:10] <amenado> Lemp-> jars are run off of java, soyou cant get away from having java as the command line
[17:10] <david567> devede, i will see what i can find
[17:10] <scotti1> amenado: when I typed dig yahoo.com, it just there a second and then says whatever is in this Pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63843/
[17:10] <scotti1> amenado: it *sat* there a second
[17:10] <ezquerro> hi to everybody
[17:11] <ezquerro> i have modified the keybindings in ubuntu, and now i don't know how to set them up to defaults
[17:11] <scotti1> amenado: you said I need to add a domain to search in Resolv.conf? which url should I put?
[17:11] <amenado> scotti1-> that tells me the name server you are using is not resolving for you..
[17:11] <ezquerro> if i open gnome-keybinding
[17:11] <bullgard4> Was für Dateien sind im Verzeichnis /etc/fonts/conf.d/ gespeichert: Von welchen Programmen werden sie ausgewertet?
[17:11] <ezquerro> in the play/pause field it appears XF86Play instead of 0xa2
[17:12] <ezquerro> how can i set them to the default values?
[17:12] <amenado> scotti1-> try  search  myhome.sweethome.net    just a dummy domain or your real domain if you got one
[17:12] <bazhang> Jadewolf: mandrive may have more drivers out of the box (non free) but it depends on rpm and ubuntu uses apt which is better with dependencies--game playing will largely be the same most likely
[17:12] <scotti1> amenado: no I don't have my own website domain if that's what you mean. I will try the one you just gave. 1 sec
[17:13] <crunchybumble> where does thunderbird store email?
[17:13] <crunchybumble> and is there a way to merge two of those files?
[17:13] <amenado> scotti1-> still, your dns server at <IP_ADDRESS> is not resolving for you...check the dhcp configs of your dsl/router
[17:14] <ryanakca> How can I remove foo.* but not foo.tex?
[17:15] <tiocsti> ryan rm -f `echo *|grep -v '\.tex$'` or something (just off the top of my head)
[17:15] <tiocsti> err that echo * should be echo foo.*
[17:15] <crunchybumble> wow, yeah that'll work
[17:15] <ryanakca> tiocsti: thanks :D
[17:15] <crunchybumble> if its a small number of files you could just do rm -i
[17:15] <moskvat> alguem ai pode me ajudar
[17:15] <crunchybumble> and hit no on the one you want to save
[17:16] <sharperguy> anyone know where the nautulus logo is stored?
[17:16] <LogicalDash> sharperguy: probably /usr/share/pixmaps
[17:16] <moskvat> join #ubuntu-br
[17:17] <sharperguy> LogicalDash, didnt see it in there
[17:17] <steven> I have an external NTFS formated USB-hard drive that I want to format to ext3, how can I do this?
[17:17] <ryanakca> crunchybumble: well, I want to stick it in my make clean... wouldn't bee too fun.
[17:18] <Alives> i have a directory that is mounted with smbmount.  It shows up in df.  When I unmount it, it doesnt show up in df, but I can still get a file listing from it and access the files... what is going on?
[17:18] <scotti1> amenado: I entered the line "search myhome.sweethome.net" above the "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" in Resolve.conf, then I did the networking restart, but it does the same thing. I think you are right about the DNS not resolving...i checked my Linksys router settings. I am using Tomato which is another firmware
[17:18] <LogicalDash> sharperguy: /usr/share/icons/hicolor
[17:19] <LogicalDash> sharperguy: I turned that up using the 'locate' command line utility
[17:19] <sharperguy> Lo_Pan, ty
[17:19] <sharperguy> LogicalDash, ty
[17:19] <ikon_> i can't login
[17:20] <scotti1> amenado: it uses Static DHCP which means any new computer will be assigned any number thru DHCP, unless you go into the firmware and specify a specific number for that MAC address. so in other words, my ubuntu desktop was already assigned a random IP, since I was able to Ping that google IP....what do I need to do>
[17:22] <sharperguy> LogicalDash, hmm. there a few files called nautilus, but the just show a weird snail thing
[17:23] <gaspipe1> hey people
[17:24] <ng0n> where are the aplications stored in Ubuntu
[17:24] <LogicalDash> ngon, mostly in /usr/bin
[17:24] <ng0n> ok.
[17:25] <JarG0n> what command do I use to format a volume/device to ext3 ?
[17:25] <nsandiman> how do I connect my nokia bluetooth headset to my laptop running ubuntu
[17:25] <JarG0n> This book is useless!
[17:25] <erUSUL> JarG0n: mkfs.ext3
[17:25] <amenado> scotti1-> make sure your router is getting a good dns feed.. from your ISP.. if you can hard code your ISP dns server into your resolv.conf, it would be okay too, just have to keep checking
[17:25] <erUSUL> JarG0n: or use gparted
[17:26] <JarG0n> cool, thx :)
[17:26] <mattywarr> hi there - my appearance preferences screen has frozen - i'm attempting to be a windows convert and wonderd if there is any taskmanager equivilent, or a way close the window
[17:26] <Starnestommy> mattywarr: System > Administration > System Monitor?
[17:27] <scotti1> amenado: I mean I never have trouble getting online with all my other computers(which use XP)...do you want me to use the DNS IP addresses that my Cable modem is using?
[17:27] <ng0n> ok.  user/bin correct. now, how do i save 'favorites' in XMMS ?
[17:28] <scotti1> so would I go to Resolv.conf and say "search <IP_ADDRESS>" instead of myhome.sweethome.net?
[17:28] <mattywarr> perfect thanks :)
[17:28] <ng0n> doesn't appear they have that utility.  pity.
[17:29] <nsandiman> hi, I have a gprs modem and I would appreciate if anyone can put me through how to set it up
[17:29] <murlidhar> nsandiman, go on
[17:29] <amenado> scotti1-> no, instead of nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>  use nameserver  <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:29] <sparr_> netselect-apt in ubuntu downloads debian package lists...  this should probably be mentioned during the install, or even the description?
[17:29] <LogicalDash> nsandiman, details of the particular modem and what you've done so far would probably help
[17:30] <scotti1> amenado: OHH....i sound like a newb. lol
[17:30] <nsandiman> ok, it is a MobiData gprs
[17:30] <mattywarr> how do you alter screen resolution? Can't find it in appearance preferences?
[17:30] <murlidhar> nsandiman, did u use wvdial ?
[17:30] <Jadewolf> If I install ubuntu today will I be able to upgrade without much to the new one coming out in a few days?
[17:30] <amenado> scotti1-> am stepping out for now..good luck
[17:30] <scotti1> amenado: thanks a lot, I'll keep trying
[17:31] <LogicalDash> Jadewolf, you'll be able to upgrade, but there'll still be a really long download
[17:31] <bazhang> Jadewolf: sure
[17:31] <Jadewolf> I don't mind a long download I just want something that works with wine well
[17:31] <SeaPhor> Can someone please look at this and see if they know whats wrong with wireless? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63845/
[17:31] <sparr_> where can i find a list of ubuntu repository mirrors?
[17:32] <LordInfamous> hello

[17:35] <tiocsti> people seem excited about wubi
[17:35] <bazhang> its nice
[17:35] <tiocsti> guess it lets windows users try ubuntu with no risk
[17:35] <tomaz> I do have a linux partition installed
[17:35] <bassham> tomaz: Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[17:35] <bazhang> tomaz: then unetbootin
[17:36] <tiocsti> next step up from a livecd

[17:39] <davidw> hi - anyone else have really slow spamassassin times?

[17:39] <Makuseru> What are some programs that will play DVDs? I tried Kaffeine, but it said it needed codecs, asked me if i watned to install them, i clicked yes, but nothing happened. Are there any others?

[17:42] <bazhang> lucia_: please check the first link I gave you first
[17:42] <LordInfamous> thanks, ill check it out
[17:42] <jrib> StooJ: for metacity, poke around /app/metacity in gconf-editor.  They share settings (in hardy, not sure about gutsy) so it doesn't matter where you define the shortcuts, both will use the same settings
[17:42] <_question_> Starnestommy: "No current candidate version found for ruby / Package: ruby / State: not a real package"
[17:43] <nsandiman> murlidhar, sudo wvdialconfig is recognized as a command
[17:43] <Starnestommy> _question_: do you have the main repository enabled, too?
[17:43] <murlidhar> nsandiman, so did u did the wvdial.conf file manually?
[17:43] <lucia_> bazhang,  I got the next error:
[17:43] <Jowi> amenado, hi. I'm the guy with the USB flash key booting from grub and because of your hints I actually managed. strangely, when listing available boot devices from within ubuntu, grub say that hd0 and hd1 are available. but when checking the same from grub before I boot it list fd0 and hd0. so, I selected fd0 instead of hd1 and it worked. very good since this intel mac mini does not support booting from usb
[17:43] <Jowi>  flash keys.
[17:43] <_question_> Starenstommy: in software sources? I have everything except 'Source Code' enabled
[17:43] <nsandiman> i ran sudo wvdialconfig
[17:44] <murlidhar> nsandiman, sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
[17:44] <nsandiman> ok
[17:44] <Starnestommy> _question_: does anything show up in "apt-cache search ruby" ?
[17:44] <lucia_> In here:  1) Open System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager , says I don't have the package  linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-68
[17:44] <murlidhar> nsandiman, does it open something ?
[17:44] <sparr_> where can i find a list of ubuntu repository mirrors?
[17:44] <bazhang> lucia_: you are using debian?
[17:44] <jewjew> Is there any way to make X open in a "screen"?
[17:45] <lucia_> bazhang,  ubuntu 7.10
[17:45] <nsandiman> it does, murlidhar, but the config file is empty
[17:45] <mrunagi> what time zone is considered for when hardy is released
[17:45] <StooJ> jrib: will have a play, thanks
[17:45] <_question_> Starenstommy: yeah, libgtksourceview-common and libgtksourceview2.0-common
[17:45] <bazhang> lucia_: that is the wrong kernel
[17:45] <lucia_> bazhang,  what do you mean?
[17:45] <Eagle_Boy> can I get some help with X crashing on me?
[17:45] <murlidhar> nsandiman, so probably ur phone has not been detected , can u pastebin the output when u sudo wvdialconfig
[17:46] <bazhang> lucia_: that is close to the hardy kernel please pastebin your sources.list
[17:46] <murlidhar> !pastebin | nsandiman
[17:46] <ubotu> nsandiman: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[17:46] <lucia_> bazhang,  ok
[17:46] <Messedrocker> Is there a way to enable Desktop Sharing through SSH?
[17:46] <lucia_> bazhang,  how can I open the sources.list in a external software to copy and paste? I forgot
[17:46] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: What is the problem you're having?
[17:46] <LordInfamous> murlidhar, when i try to install the ms-sys package i get an error that it couldnt be found
[17:47] <nsandiman> ok, i will do just that, murlidhar
[17:47] <seaq> messedrocker: not properly desktop sharing but remote desktop access via ssh.  try with NOMACHINE
[17:47] <Eagle_Boy> why I tried installing Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit and 32-bit it crashe.d
[17:47] <rvgate_> Is it possible to forward all emails within evolution, sending each forward individually ... (default action is to wrap it all up in 1 email and forward that)
[17:47] <Eagle_Boy> when it loaded X
[17:47] <Messedrocker> "NOMACHINE" eh?
[17:47] <bazhang> lucia_: install pastebinit then cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit
[17:47] <Eagle_Boy> I tried using safe graphics mod but it still crashed
[17:48] <murlidhar> LordInfamous, hmm
[17:48] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: Is this on a fresh install from a CD?
[17:48] <lucia_> bazhang,  no there is a easy way, something like gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , something like that
[17:48] <lucia_> that is it!
[17:48] <murlidhar> !ms-sys
[17:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ms-sys - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:48] <LordInfamous> im on 8.04, to enable univsersal repositories i click the universe checkbox in software sources, correct?
[17:48] <Eagle_Boy> yeah, I used the free CD I recieved in the mail. It tryies to load the Live CD Session
[17:49] <Jowi> Messedrocker, nomachine is the company producing "freenx" it is pretty solid and the only real option apart from VNC.
[17:49] <Eagle_Boy> when I used the 64-bit I just got a blank screen
[17:49] <murlidhar> correct but i thnk it is not there in repos
[17:49] <Jowi> !freenx

[17:49] <lucia_> bazhang, :  http://www.asdasdas.pastebin.com/m3baa8087  what do you think??
[17:49] <nsandiman> murlidhar, you can check the output @ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63846/
[17:49] <murlidhar> can anybody confirm if ms-sys is in the repos please
[17:49] <Eagle_Boy> but with the 32-bit the computer starts beeping like crazy under normal mode
[17:49] <assargadon> Hi there.
[17:50] <SammIndustrie> can somebody help here, please? I'm runnign VIA, and there's no headphone support. the option isn't even there in alsamixer!
[17:50] <murlidhar> nsandiman, is ur phone connected to the laptop
[17:50] <Eagle_Boy> so when I use the safe graphics mode I get a "X server has crashed 6 times already will try again in 2 mins." error
[17:50] <_aeGIs> I've installed AbiWord and would like msword mime type ICONS associated with it but can't seem to figure out how.  I've done the actual mime type association, and it opens Abiword fine... However, it still uses the OpenOffice icon which I do not like...   Should I avoid that?
[17:50] <LordInfamous> murlidhar, i found it on sourceforge, http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/#Download
[17:50] <murlidhar> nsandiman, via usb?
[17:50] <nsandiman> yes
[17:51] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: Did you try rebooting after is crashed and then going into safe graphics mode?
[17:51] <jewjew> *it
[17:51] <SammIndustrie> should i say i have a VIA sound card!
[17:51] <Eagle_Boy> yes
[17:51] <murlidhar> LordInfamous, yes but i would be difficult method to install from there . let me see if there is any other alternate way
[17:51] <Eagle_Boy> and that is when I got the "X server has crashed 6 times..."
[17:51] <LordInfamous> ok, thankyou
[17:51] <bazhang> lucia_: the kernel you are using is what again? please verify with uname -r
[17:51] <murlidhar> nsandiman, what is the make and model of ur phone ?
[17:51] <Eagle_Boy> but I only got that using the 32-bit version
[17:51] <Starnestommy> odinsbane: only use kill -SIGKILL if a regular kill fai;s
[17:52] <Starnestommy> *fails
[17:52] <lucia_> bazhang, : 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686
[17:52] <mrunagi> so is hardy going to be released 12am the 24th eastern  time or what
[17:52] <_question_> Starnestommy: Any ideas?
[17:52] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: Do you have an OS installed with X curently on that PC?
[17:52] <bazhang> lucia_:  what is etchnhalf?
[17:52] <lucia_> bazhang,  how can I know :<
[17:52] <nsandiman> actually, it is a MobiData GPRS modem
[17:52] <lucia_> bazhang,  I installed the ubuntu cd I got some day ago
[17:52] <murlidhar> nsandiman, i think i found the error . do    sudo wvdialconfig      u did sudo wvdial
[17:52] <assargadon> I have a package, which depends on "python" package version. It needs <2.5 version, and my 7.04 has 2.5.1. How can I install this package?
[17:52] <odinsbane> thank you
[17:53] <Starnestommy> _question_: it sounds like a problem with your repositories
[17:53] <odinsbane> assargadon you can install python 2.4 with synaptic
[17:53] <Starnestommy> assargadon: try installing python2.4
[17:53] <_question_> Starnestommy: Where can I find information as to how to fix this?
[17:53] <assargadon> I installed "python2.4", but as far as dependencie linked to "python" version, not to "python2.4" package, it doesn't helps
[17:53] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: Do you have an OS installed with X curently on that PC?
[17:54] <nsandiman> I did sudo wvdialconfig and I got command not found
[17:54] <odinsbane> assargadon what are you trying to install that has this dependancy conflict?
[17:54] <bazhang> lucia_: that is a debian and not an ubuntu kernel what have you done
[17:54] <lucia_> bazhang,  any idea?
[17:54] <lucia_> bazhang,  how is that possible?!?!
[17:54] <erUSUL> nsandiman: pppconfig ??
[17:54] <assargadon> odinsbane, emc2
[17:55] <murlidhar> nsandiman, u did sudo wvdial only see the pastebin that u gave me
[17:55] <Starnestommy> _question_: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list.  There might be something wrong in that
[17:55] <bazhang> lucia_: no idea; please go to www.ubuntu.com/download and get the real deal
[17:55] <murlidhar> erUSUL, he wants to connect gprs to his laptop
[17:55] <Eagle_Boy_> jewjew: I am dual booting (or at least trying)
[17:55] <ikonia> murlidhar: wvdial is an X11 app
[17:55] <n-iCe> bazhang,  man I ordered it, is original cd
[17:55] <nsandiman> i just did sudo pppconfig and am asked to provide some provider parameters
[17:55] <Eagle_Boy_> jewjew: I was wondering if my new Nvidia card has something to do with it
[17:56] <erUSUL> murlidhar: i see... i thought it was a normal dial-up conection
[17:56] <odinsbane> assargadon do you have a debian package to install it, or are you compiling it from source?
[17:56] <odinsbane> Or are you using python setup.py install?
[17:56] <murlidhar> ikonia, does it mean it won't work?
[17:56] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy_:It could
[17:56] <n-iCe> bazhang,  the thing is, how to activate my wifi
[17:56] <ikonia> murlidhar: sudo + X11 apps = no
[17:56] <_question_> Starnestommy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7602/
[17:56] <bazhang> n-iCe: then you did something to change kernels, to a debian one, and is not supported here
[17:56] <ikonia> murlidhar: gksu or gksudo
[17:56] <assargadon> odinsbane, I have a debian package
[17:56] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy_: What card is it?
[17:56] <Eagle_Boy_> since it's the new NVidia 9800 GX2
[17:56] <murlidhar> ikonia, i used wvdial and it worked
[17:56] <ikonia> murlidhar: that doesn't matter, it can cause issues later
[17:57] <ikonia> !worksforme | murlidhar
[17:57] <ubotu> murlidhar: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[17:57] <murlidhar> ikonia, wvdial on terminal works absolutely fine unless u close the terminal
[17:57] <murlidhar> ikonia, try it once
[17:57] <ikonia> murlidhar: if you are not using the X11 interface, it is fine, if you are trying to use the X11 interface - it is not
[17:58] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy_: oh wow
[17:58] <murlidhar> ikonia, i am not using x11 interface
[17:58] <ikonia> murlidhar: right, so when I said "it's an X11 interface" you should say "no" not "yes"
[17:58] <LordInfamous> how to i make terminal see a folder so i can install a file
[17:58] <ikonia> LordInfamous: cd into it
[17:58] <ikonia> LordInfamous: cd = change directory
[17:58] <LordInfamous> so cd /home ?
[17:58] <ikonia>  LordInfamous thats it
[17:59] <LordInfamous> thanks
[17:59] <Starnestommy> _question_: all sorts of lines were commented out there.  Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with http://paste.ubuntu.com/7603/ then run sudo apt-get update
[17:59] <Clinteger> Hey, everyone! I set up Samba on my laptop running Ubuntu. I have this desktop running XP, and I can see my laptop's samba share from XP but I can't see any workgroups in Ubuntu, therefore I can't see any of the computers, either.
[17:59] <Clinteger> What do I need to do to fix this?
[17:59] <ikon_> i can't loggin
[17:59] <murlidhar> ikonia, could u help LordInfamous , he wants to fix his mbr . he is not able to do from his windows disk since his disk does not read the partition
[18:00] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy_: Have you tried any other live CDs?
[18:00] <_question_> Starenstommy: thank
[18:00] <bazhang> n-iCe: you are lucia_ correct? whatever you did to your install (changing to a debian kernel) is not supported here; good luck getting it to work
[18:00] <in4mer> hello
[18:00] <ikonia> murlidhar: you don't need to be able to see a partition to fix an mbr
[18:00] <murlidhar> ikonia, i gave him this link but ms-sys is not in the repos it seems so  http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340
[18:00] <Eagle_Boy_> jewjew: I haven't
[18:01] <murlidhar> ikonia, not even from windows recovery console ?
[18:01] <ikon_> i can't loggin
[18:01] <nsandiman> murlidhar, after providing some configuration parameters for the pppconfig utility, am at the Authentication Method stage. The following are the options: PAP, Chat, CHAP
[18:01] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy_: I'd try a Hedgy DVD
[18:01] <nsandiman> which do I select?
[18:01] <Eagle_Boy_> jewjew: I have used the Live CDs on my laptop and other box so I know the CDs work (at least the 32-bit version)
[18:01] <ikonia> murlidhar: no, the boot record is not on a patition
[18:01] <rvgate_> how can i select all emails and forward them using the option Quoted? it seems to attach the emails into one big message, but i want to forward all emails separately.. how can i do this other then selecting 1 and press forward... (it are 700 emails)
[18:01] <in4mer> out of interest
[18:01] <n-iCe> bazhang,  thanks
[18:01] <Eagle_Boy_> jewjew: that is still in beta right?
[18:01] <ikon_> i can't login
[18:01] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy_: It would be useful to know what errors you're getting when X crashes
[18:01] <VoidedCheck> hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go...
[18:02] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy_: It's a Release Client
[18:02] <murlidhar> ikonia, i know but the recovery console shows where the windows is installed , so that u could install the mbr on that hard disk
[18:02] <ace12345> Clinteger: have you setup sharing in XP ok? try manually trying the IP address of another LAN computer to connect to into firefox; sometimes it's a WINS problem or something of that ilk so you can't use the hostnames, so I understand
[18:02] <odinsbane> assargadon I'm stumped, I think dpkg has a way to look for different packages, you could always try getting the source and see how it works out.
[18:02] <LordInfamous> im trying to follow instructions to install this program, ms-sys. when i try to compile it it says theres no such file eventhough terminal is in /home
[18:02] <Eagle_Boy_> jewjew:I wish I could see them, since it's a live boot I doubt any logs are created and saved
[18:02] <ikonia> murlidhar: is that not the boot disk ?
[18:02] <murlidhar> ikonia, it is not showing where the windows is installed according to LordInfamous
[18:02] <T1m0thy> jewjew: It's a Release Candidate.
[18:02] <ikonia> LordInfamous: what is the basic proble,m
[18:02] <Clinteger> ace12345 I've tried using the IP and the hostname, neither work :/
[18:02] <Eagle_Boy_> jejew: I pre-order a copy of the CD so hopefully I get them soon
[18:03] <assargadon> odinsbane, in any case, thanks for effort :)
[18:03] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy_:  It might give error messages if you switch to another virtual terminal
[18:03] <dmsuperman> LordInfamous, are you doing ./COMMAND to run it?
[18:03] <_question_> Starnestommy: everything works, thanks
[18:03] <ikonia> Eagle_Boy_: it's not released yet, why would it get there soon ?
[18:03] <LordInfamous> i am trying to install ms-sys because for some reason it is not in repositories
[18:03] <murlidhar> nsandiman, it is better if u use wvdial rather than pppconfig
[18:03] <ikonia> LordInfamous: why ? what does ms-sys do ?
[18:03] <Eagle_Boy_> I guess I could try to install it via text mode
[18:03] <ikonia> LordInfamous: what is your end goal
[18:04] <LordInfamous> it will help me fix my master boot record for windows
[18:04] <Eagle_Boy_> jewjew: But I don't feel like waiting 6hrs to DL the image :p
[18:04] <dmsuperman> LordInfamous, Just use the ubuntu LiveCD or windows recovery CD
[18:04] <ikonia> LordInfamous: what is wrong with the mbr on your windows disk ?
[18:04] <LordInfamous> i cant boot into windows and when i use windows cd it cant see the hd
[18:04] <LordInfamous> when i use windows cd to enter repair commands
[18:04] <ace12345> Clinteger: have you set the hostname of your Ubuntu computer? Although I haven't and it's working OK here... not sure, good luck though
[18:04] <LordInfamous> i am on livecd now
[18:04] <arvind_khadri> LordInfamous, for fixing the master boot record login from the windows cd and say fixmbr
[18:04] <ikonia> LordInfamous: ok, can you see the windows disk from your ubuntu install ?
[18:04] <murlidhar> LordInfamous, just ask ikonia that u want to fix mbr since none of ur operating system is booting
[18:05] <LordInfamous> i am not in ubuntu install, im just on livecd
[18:05] <Clinteger> ace12345, yes, I see the "ubuntu" computer in my workgroup from XP, and I can access its shares. However, I can't access XP's shares from ubuntu.
[18:05] <dmsuperman> LordInfamous, anyway, use ./COMMAND from the home directory to run the command from the current directoroy, not just COMMAND
[18:05] <murlidhar> ikonia, yeah he is in livecd
[18:05] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy_: Try switching terminals when X crashes or while it's loading
[18:05] <ikonia> murlidhar: but can that see the windows disk ?
[18:05] <bXi> can i somehow give my virtual desktops a different wallpaper?
[18:05] <Eagle_Boy_> jewjew: how?
[18:05] <mnemo> i just found out about the media player "exaile" ... it absolutely rocks!! :-)
[18:06] <murlidhar> nsandiman, did u sudo wvdialconfig ???
[18:06] <Eagle_Boy_> jewjew: it only lets me do the normal or safe mode
[18:06] <Kaja> amaroks more
[18:06] <nsandiman> yes but it is not a command
[18:06] <dmsuperman> mnemo, agreed. Have you checked ou the "dynamic" checkbox? it finds similar music to that currently playing and automatically adds it to your playlist
[18:06] <arvind_khadri> ikonia, i guess the super grub should do the magic
[18:06] <murlidhar> bXi, unfortunate it is not impliment yet afaik
[18:06] <ikonia> arvind_khadri: why ?
[18:06] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy_: CTRL + ALT + F(#)
[18:06] <ace12345> Clinteger: when you try to access it via the IP if FF or something, you are prefixing it with smb://, e.g. smb://<IP_ADDRESS>, right?
[18:06] <mnemo> dmsuperman: for real? sounds like magic
[18:07] <ikonia> arvind_khadri: his disk cant' bee seen, he wants a windows mbr - why would "super grub" cd be of any use ?
[18:07] <bXi> murlidhar: you've got to be kidding O_o
[18:07] <arvind_khadri> ikonia, as he can fix the mbr if he doesnt have his windows cd
[18:07] <murlidhar> arvind_khadri, i am with you , SGD can do the magic
[18:07] <Clinteger> ace12345, yes, I've tried it, and no folders show up, but when I do smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/sharedfolder it doesn't work, either
[18:07] <ikonia> arvind_khadri: he does have a windows CD - but it can't see the partition
[18:07] <dmsuperman> mnemo, its quite amazing, i use it while i'm doing work and such, just throw up a song of the musci type i want to listen to and check dynamic and hit play
[18:07] <Eagle_Boy_> jewjew: I guess I could create a new session while it continues to attempt to load X under the main session
[18:07] <arvind_khadri> ikonia, thats what is weird ....so why not super grub
[18:07] <murlidhar> bXi, i said afaik  (AsFarAsIKnow)
[18:07] <mnemo> dmsuperman: sweet
[18:08] <linas> I've got so many Hardy problems, I don't know where to even start ...
[18:08] <dmsuperman> Clinteger, can you access that same share from a windows pc?
[18:08] <linas> When will firefox start working on Hardy?
[18:08] <Clinteger> dmsuperman, yes, I can access ubuntu's shares from my windows pc, but it doesn't work the other way around.
[18:08] <Eagle_Boy_> jewjew: I will try that out right now if it don't work you will see me back in here in a few
[18:08] <Stepa1> What program can I use to extract the tracks from .cue and .ape files?
[18:08] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy_: Well X loads from another terminal session
[18:08] <ikonia> arvind_khadri: because if his partition can't be seen and we have not yet esblished if his ubuntu disk can see the parititon, what is the point of a.) using a boot cd that won't be able to see his disk b.) putting a boot loader on (grub) that won't allow him to boot a partition that can't be seen
[18:08] <jewjew> alright
[18:08] <dmsuperman> no no, can you access your windows shares from another windows machine
[18:08] <nsandiman> murlidhar, I tried sudo wvdialconf and it works
[18:09] <TheOriginalRippe> on hardy rc1 is it possble to remove firefox 3 beta 5 and install <IP_ADDRESS>?
[18:09] <murlidhar> nsandiman, good so does it recognise ur phone ?
[18:09] <dmsuperman> Clinteger, to see if perhaps windows isn't allowing it to go outbound. Try to dualboot a windows install, or get one of those cds that you can use as a windows live cd, and try it out
[18:09] <arvind_khadri> ikonia, he doesnt have ubuntu installed does he
[18:09] <LordInfamous> ubuntu partiton manager can see the partition, but it can only see that there is a problem with it adn when i try to repair it thorugh that it gets an error
[18:09] <ikonia> arvind_khadri: he's on the livecd
[18:09] <Clinteger> dmsuperman, the same laptop is dual booted. I can see the shares from the laptop when its in windows.
[18:09] <Clinteger> and i can access the shares from the other windows pcs in the house as well
[18:09] <dmsuperman> bXi, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/93/
[18:09] <linas> when will gnome panel stop crashing on Hardy?
[18:09] <n-iCe> How can I update my kernel?
[18:09] <Clinteger> ubuntu just seems to only work one way.
[18:10] <linas> When will gnome terminal start working on hardy?
[18:10] <arvind_khadri> !hardy | linas

[18:10] <gaspipe1> anyone have any links cool ways to "tweak" ubuntu (basicly eye candy and apps you should have and use?)
[18:10] <murlidhar> nsandiman, i am sorry that i gave u sudo wvdialconfig instead of sudo wvdialconf .  it's been a long time since i used it . sorry
[18:10] <linas> ok thanks
[18:10] <Swish> I'm trying to boot dapper 6.06.2LTS in vmware workstation, but it's locking up at the "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel." line

[18:10] <Swish> CPU goes to 100% and nothing happens for 20+ min

[18:11] <Swish> any ideas? :)
[18:11] <murlidhar> nsandiman, but before using it u should edit  the .conf file in order to use internet on gprs
[18:11] <SammIndustrie> in make, what's 'error 2'?
[18:11] <SammIndustrie> what does it mean?
[18:12] <murlidhar> nsandiman, great now sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
[18:12] <Stepa1> exit
[18:12] <murlidhar> nsandiman, it has recognized ur phone
[18:12] <arvind_k> ok so the freenode one is a copy of this one aa
[18:13] <unop> SammIndustrie, 'error 2' on it's own would be meaningless - anything else you get in the error message?
[18:13] <murlidhar> LordInfamous, did ur problem get solved ?
[18:13] <arvind_k> murlidhar, do we have #ubuntu-in??

[18:16] <ace12345> Clinteger: sorry for the delay, got distracted, if you haven't already tried, you could try setting another shared folder on your XP box, and try to access it again. sometimes it helps.

[18:18] <ace12345> try enabling sharing on another folder on your XP install. I've heard tales of some random Windows folders giving problems
[18:18] <SammIndustrie> unop: the sound card works ok for the speakers, but there's no option in alsamixer for headphones
[18:18] <SammIndustrie> internal speakers of course

[18:19] <murlidhar> nsandiman, ok , now u have just put the dialing number
[18:19] <ace12345> Clinteger: oh, and I believe you should have set up accounts with the same username on both XP and Ubuntu
[18:19] <murlidhar> nsandiman, like *99#
[18:19] <arvind_khadri> ikonia, any idea where the release party is to be held in india ??
[18:20] <Clinteger> ace12345, yup, done that.
[18:20] <SammIndustrie> actually, i#m not so sure now unop: lspci -v pulls out http://pastebin.com/m4b8d98e
[18:20] <Clinteger> ace12345, it still doesn't explain why it only works one way :;/
[18:20] <aerlinn> hi everybody
[18:20] <nsandiman> ok, but I use it on vista without a dialing number, murlidah
[18:20] <ace12345> nope, it doesn't... i really hate these samba issues
[18:20] <ng0n> uggg. when i click down aps - the dissappear ?  what's up with that ?
[18:21] <SammIndustrie> http://pastebin.com/d7b0f3494 - full version, ubotu
[18:21] <ng0n> they are not on the panel !??!
[18:21] <murlidhar> nsandiman, look in the .conf file where u have to enter the dialing number . it is *99# or pastebin the conf file i will edit it and give u back
[18:21] <nsandiman> ok
[18:21] <Owner_> happy 420
[18:22] <Pabo_> Horray!
[18:22] <Pabo_> also, only 4 days till 8.04!!
[18:22] <aerlinn> omg SuSE channel is fool of "masters"
[18:22] <nsandiman> murlidhar, this is it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63848/
[18:23] <mnemo> where can I find the source code of the program "sudo" ?
[18:23] <basso> how can i adjust the volume in KDE4?.. the volume seems to be abit low and i cant find the volume controls.. :/
[18:23] <Dante123> hi all,  my dad has had a couple of brain surgeries...and to make a long story short.....short term mem is affected.  However, he likes to tinker on the computer etc.  I have him running Ubuntu but would like to be able to do remote desktop (VNC) through the internet to his computer (not on a daily basis but when he needs my help).  We had it working locally when he was here on LAN, but I can't seem to get it to work via internet.  I
[18:24] <murlidhar> nsandiman, so this was set by u ?   Phone = *99#
[18:24] <phate> modding
[18:24] <nsandiman> yes
[18:24] <ace12345> mnemo: should be able to do sudo apt-get source sudo, and it'll dump it to your PWD
[18:24] <rangef1nder> how do you set up a playlsit for mplayer?
[18:24] <dmsuperman> Dante123, , foward the port
[18:24] <dmsuperman> !portforwarding
[18:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about portforwarding - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:24] <Dante123> Any advice you can give is appreciated.  I figured what I needed to do was enter vncviewer name-laptop: IP address here
[18:24] <phate> modding
[18:25] <dmsuperman> Dante123, http://portforward.com/
[18:25] <dmsuperman> Use that as a guide, and forward the port for VNC. I believe VNC uses 5900, but double check
[18:25] <mnemo> ace12345: awesome, that worked... thanks a ton!
[18:25] <murlidhar> nsandiman, great there u are , now just type sudo wvdial . u should get the dns server address in the terminal . once u get it , it means that u are connected ::)))
[18:25] <Dante123> dmsuperman is this something I can tell him to type into a terminal and it will work (it has to be simple instructions for him)
[18:25] <aerlinn> Why Ubuntu is better than other distros?
[18:25] <ace12345> mnemo: no problem
[18:26] <dmsuperman> Dante123, even easier, it's as simple as going to the router configuration page :D
[18:26] <murlidhar> nsandiman, to disconnect just close the terminal
[18:26] <dmsuperman> Dante123, That website will literally hold your hand and walk you through it
[18:26] <Dante123> but he has dsm model not a router
[18:26] <Dante123> dsl modem I mean dmsuperman
[18:26] <nsandiman> i just did that and am sending you the output
[18:26] <unop> SammIndustrie, not sure if you have seen this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455147  also, there might be some specific option that needs to be passed on to the snd module to enable headphone support like here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455147
[18:27] <dmsuperman> Dante123, hrm, there's no router that he's behind anywhere? and did you enable a firewall on his computer?
[18:27] <murlidhar> nsandiman, so ar e u able to connect to the internet
[18:27] <dmsuperman> Dante123, if not then I'd say the ISP is blocking the port, since there's no reason you shouldn't be able to
[18:27] <dmsuperman> Dante123, Personally, I would rather just enable SSH on his PC so I can SSH in and help him when needed
[18:27] <nsandiman> murlidhar, kindly check the following link: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63849/
[18:28] <Dante123> dmsuperman is there a way to issue a command that would check to see if the port is open or being listened to?
[18:28] <Auctionedllama> How do I fix the black screen on boot up? I installed the fglrx driver and I got the blackscreen on boot up
[18:28] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: How'd it go?
[18:28] <unop> aerlinn, better is a relative term, it really depends on the individual person's needs and preferences - but ubuntu is ideal if you are setting out with linux, it has a good support network, great availability of packages, supports more hardware, etc
[18:28] <dmsuperman> Dante123, you could use a portscanner, but I don't know the names of any particular ones
[18:29] <Auctionedllama> Anyone know mates?
[18:29] <Eagle_Boy> jewjew: It didn't work
[18:29] <dmsuperman> Dante123, just port scan and only use his IP and port
[18:29] <murlidhar> nsandiman, now sudo wvdialconf again and see if it reconizes the phone
[18:29] <Eagle_Boy> jewjew: it loads just the kernel and the only directory visible is the Desktop folder
[18:29] <mrunagi> what time is hardy going to be released on the 24th
[18:29] <aerlinn> unop: OpenSusE users said to me that ubuntu sux
[18:29] <Dante123> dmsuperman, I have just done a standard install of ubuntu and have not setup a firewall.  I would only do the vnc thing when I had him on the phone and he enabled it from system-->remote desktop...otherwise the rest of the time it will be off
[18:29] <dmsuperman> aerlinn, they lie
[18:29] <bazhang> aerlinn: please take this elsewhere thanks
[18:29] <Starnestommy> !ot | aerlinn
[18:29] <ubotu> aerlinn: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[18:29] <arvind_khadri> mrunagi, 10 am or so i guess
[18:30] <murlidhar> nsandiman, if it does tell me it is at /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1
[18:30] <mrunagi> 10 am where
[18:30] <dmsuperman> Dante123, Why can't you just use SSH and telnet?
[18:30] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: Are you sure?  How did you figure that out?
[18:30] <arvind_khadri> mrunagi, where do you belong to
[18:30] <meoblast001> hello, im using ubuntu on my ps3. It can detect my bluetooth adapter but i dont know how to connect to bluetooth devices. Can someone help me?
[18:30] <Auctionedllama> hello anyone?
[18:30] <arvind_khadri> aerlinn, tell them ubuntu sux but less than Suse
[18:30]  * GPT says 'hello' to Auctionedllama
[18:30] <Dante123> I probably can, but I'm not so sure how to set that up with him over the phone.  is there a step by step guide that would be easy
[18:31] <Auctionedllama> lol hi
[18:31] <Eagle_Boy> jewjew: Because when it started to flicker between loading and crashing (on the 64-bit under safe graphics mode) I pressed the Alt+F# key and it load the prompt
[18:31] <mrunagi> arvind_khadri: im in eastern
[18:31] <Dante123> What I liked about vnc was that is basically gives me his computer with gui and I see what he sees etc.
[18:31] <unop> aerlinn, i would take that statement with a pinch of salt - the person/people who told you that probably have some other motive - but the advice to you is that you try ubuntu out to see if it works for you or not, again, there is no good, better or best, ubuntu is just another distro with specific goals and objectives
[18:31] <Auctionedllama> I got the black bootup screen.. how do I fix this?

[18:31] <ubotu> mrunagi: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[18:31] <nsandiman> it is at /dev/ttyUSB0
[18:31] <bent_> Auctionedllama: What graphics card do you have?
[18:31] <fadey> Hi. I've upgraded to hardy RC. On booting I get :ALERT! /dev/sda2 doesn't exist. How do I combat that?
[18:31] <mrunagi> arvind_khadri: that doesnt answer my question
[18:31] <dmsuperman> Dante123, but my thinking for the VNC is that the port is being blocked
[18:31] <Auctionedllama> X1650 ati
[18:32] <bazhang> mrunagi: it is offtopic here
[18:32] <murlidhar> nsandiman, good now try again wvdial and see what happens
[18:32] <arvind_khadri> mrunagi, i think people there will know....
[18:32] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: and you did an ls, right?
[18:32] <ace12345> Does anybody know how to change the default window placement behaviour in Ubuntu from whatever you'd call it currently  to a "click to place a new window" method?
[18:32] <mrunagi> oooooh
[18:32] <mrunagi> right right
[18:32] <bent_> fadey: Do you know what your HD maps are? Those numbers go to partitions... maybe that got missed somehow. I don't know how to fix that though.
[18:32] <arvind_khadri> !hardy | fadey
[18:32] <ubotu> fadey: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[18:32] <dmsuperman> Dante123, Try using port 80, or 8080, or 400, those seem to get good results. and you could always of course enable SSH as well as VNC. It's what I do, because sometimes yeah I want to VNC but usualyl SSH is just what I need ;)
[18:32] <Eagle_Boy> jewjew: yup, all that came up was the "Desktop" folder
[18:32] <bent_> Auctionedllama: Hm. Have you tried booting in safe graphics mode?
[18:32] <scout> anyone good out creating routes? I have a dual WAN setup http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html like that link, but it doesn't appear to route traffic back on the interface it came from. Anyone available to help?
[18:32] <n-iCe> how can I install the bcm43xx module ??????????
[18:32] <Auctionedllama> no, how?
[18:32] <Eagle_Boy> and inside it was the gtk.Desktop.configure file

[18:33] <Dante123> n-iCe enable restricted drivers perhaps
[18:33] <n-iCe> Dante123,  how?
[18:33] <ricanelite> anyone know a site where I could get a howto instructions on how to install the 13 plugins for compiz-fusion there was one in ubuntu linux which I loved cause it was step by step but for some strange reason it says I dont have permission to view the thread
[18:33] <bent_> n-iCe: I have a similar one too, but, it didn't work for me.
[18:33] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: That's because it defaults to the users home directory
[18:33] <ricanelite> which I was viewing a couple of days ago
[18:33] <n-iCe> bent_,  look won't work for me either :<
[18:33] <dmsuperman> n-iCe, Please don't use that many question marks, it's obnoxious
[18:33] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: you have to CD to / to see everything
[18:33] <ricanelite> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=659282
[18:34] <ricanelite> that was the link
[18:34] <Eagle_Boy> jewjew: yes
[18:34] <Eagle_Boy> and it did nothing
[18:34] <Dante123>  n-iCe  system--->administrations--->restricted drivers
[18:34] <bent_> n-iCe: I just fought for probably greater than 12 hours to get my card to work, and it didn't. Broadcom isn't that good at linux.
[18:34] <nsandiman> i can see the local ip address, remote ip address, primary ip address , and secondary ip adress, murlidhar
[18:34] <bent_> Dante123: Restricted drivers hardly ever picks up the broadcom drivers, atleast, not for me.
[18:34] <murlidhar> nsandiman, now that means u r connected :)
[18:34] <Leonidas_> does anyone no how to get USB support in virtualbox?
[18:34] <Dante123> I just installed ubuntu on my dad's dell....and it worked fine.
[18:34] <dmsuperman> Does anybody know if ubuntu has a command to like port scan an ip with a specific port? Or how might I check that?
[18:34] <nsandiman> thanks, murlidhar. :D

[18:36] <nsandiman> and am finding it an exciting experience murlidhar
[18:36] <murlidhar> nsandiman, u might require them later. however if u again want to connect then just wvdial . if doesn't happen then let wvdialconf auto configure ur phone
[18:36] <murlidhar> nsandiman, great to hear that
[18:37] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: I'm going to do some testing
[18:37] <Dante123> Starnestommy dmsuperman was trying to help me and he says do what you just said...let me give you the particulars.  Says dads ip address is <IP_ADDRESS> and I want to use vncviewer to come into his computer.  I need port 5900 open.  What exactly does he type?
[18:37] <murlidhar> nsandiman, if u want to have an exciting experience then signup at ubuntuforums.org
[18:37] <dmsuperman> Dante123, oooooh. you're using his internal IP, you need his external
[18:37] <nsandiman> I have already done that murlidhar
[18:37] <ricanelite> can anyone direct me on howto install compiz-fusion plugins
[18:37] <Eagle_Boy> jewjew: okay, I guess I could DL the Hardy while I sleep and try again tomorrow
[18:37] <nsandiman> i have an ubuntu account

[18:38] <dmsuperman> Dante123, or not, i can't remember if the 199 range is internal or not haha
[18:38] <murlidhar> nsandiman, nice to hear that
[18:38] <Dante123> no, I just made that up.  I get him to go to a site that says what his ip address is.....I've already got it working locally.  it is through the internet that it won't work
[18:38] <Eagle_Boy> jewjew: maybe they have a generic driver for my new card
[18:38] <n-iCe> Dante123,  says I need this package:  linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686
[18:38] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: I might be able to help you more if I figure out exactly how an Ubuntu live disc works.  I could help more if it was Gentoo ;)
[18:38] <nsandiman> another challenge you could gracefully apply your expertise to
[18:38] <dmsuperman> Dante123, oh haha
[18:38] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: maybe
[18:38] <nsandiman> i have a logitech quick call usb device, murlidhar
[18:38] <bent_> Ooh, kde4 is installing now! Yay.
[18:39] <dmsuperman> Dante123, Like I said, try a port scanner from your computer to see if the ISP is blocking it
[18:39] <Dante123> dmsuperman  forget the ip address I gave....just an example.  Say his IP address on the internet is <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:39] <murlidhar> nsandiman, what is it ?
[18:39] <Eagle_Boy> jewjew: side note, how do you get it to beep at me when you message me since I tried notice, msg, privatemsg and they all get blocked by the server
[18:39] <dmsuperman> Dante123, right, but his ISP could be blocking the port 5900
[18:39] <Dante123> nmap -p portnumber hostname  (how would I use this command)
[18:39] <Jowi> Dante123, in vncviewer or tsclient type: <IP_ADDRESS>:5900
[18:40] <the_darkside_986> i can't get banshee's process to die.  What would be easiest?
[18:40] <nsandiman> it is a logitech quick call usb voip desk phone
[18:40] <Dante123> It could be dmsuperman, you are right.  Jowi would the command be:  vncviewer <IP_ADDRESS>:5900  ????
[18:40] <murlidhar> nsandiman, oh ok
[18:40] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: I'm not doing anything special; it's probably something your client does
[18:40] <nonewmsgs> the_darkside_986: a BANSHEE is an undead evil spirit
[18:41] <Eagle_Boy> probably
[18:41] <Dante123> dmsuperman, I will try the port scanner thing too in need be
[18:41] <murlidhar> nsandiman, did u plug it in ur laptop and saw if it works
[18:41] <dmsuperman> Dante123, are you on a linux box?
[18:41] <Dante123> yes, dmsuperman
[18:41] <ace12345> Dante123: to port scan for e.g. <IP_ADDRESS>, try nc -z <IP_ADDRESS> 5900 (this uses a neat command called netcat)
[18:41] <the_darkside_986> banshee has started to freeze during startup anyway. how do I erase every single configuration file of banshee in my home directory? i can't seem to find those hidden folders.
[18:41] <nsandiman> it didn't work
[18:41] <fxfitz> Do I need to set up Samba to share my Ubuntu printer with a Windows machine, or can cups do it? What would be easiest?
[18:41] <dmsuperman> Dante123, try what Starnestommy suggested, using the nmap command
[18:42] <nsandiman> my machine cannot detect it
[18:42] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: I'll be back in a few minutes
[18:42] <Eagle_Boy> okay
[18:42] <dmsuperman> Dante123, I had to install nmap
[18:42] <banditul> fxfitz, i succeded withouth samba
[18:42] <Dante123> okay, so how would that look on his end (assuming he has to type this in on his end)
[18:42] <murlidhar> nsandiman, i am not sure about . so i can't help u .
[18:42] <eTiger13> how can i search a diriectory for every file not named foo.bar?
[18:42] <dmsuperman> Dante123, no, you type it to check the connection to him
[18:43] <TeamColtra[NADC]> Whats the point of a apt upgrade? Like isn't it a pretty simple utillity?
[18:43] <nsandiman> ubuntu does not have the driver for it, murlidhar
[18:43] <dmsuperman> Dante123, just like he said, "nmap -p PORT IP
[18:43] <BlueG> I am looking for a simple cross-platform (linux, win32) p2p IM and file transfer client that just connects one ip to another, any suggestions?

[18:44] <Dante123> okay dmsuperman, it would look like this:  nmap -p 5900 <IP_ADDRESS> (assuming that is his external ip on the net)
[18:44] <dmsuperman> Dante123, yes
[18:44] <LetsGo67> dmsuperman: so you believe that Hardy stable will come with Beta 4?  I remember Gaim beta being in Ubuntu once...
[18:45] <meoblast001> how do you connect  bluetooth devices with ubuntu?
[18:45] <murlidhar> nsandiman, u are always welcome
[18:45] <dmsuperman> LetsGo67, according to their website, that's what's happening. Unless 3 officially releases, I'd say that's what's happening
[18:45] <ace12345> TeamColtra[NADC]: upgrade is a pretty essential command, checking the versions of your currently installed packages against the newest list downloaded through apt update. It then tries to upgrade as many as possible without breaking dependencies...
[18:45] <fxfitz> banditul, Do they have to have the driver on the Windows machine?
[18:45] <Dante123> thanks dmsuperman.  I will try this later with him today
[18:46] <murlidhar> nsandiman, we need more developers working on linux to make linux into the mainstream OS market
[18:46] <dmsuperman> Dante123, if his computer is on you can just do it now, it should tell you if anything responds
[18:46] <eTiger13> how can i search a diriectory for every file not named foo.bar?
[18:46] <murlidhar> nsandiman, and i am sure it will.
[18:46] <banditul> fxfitz after u configure the printer on ubuntu and share it ...
[18:46] <dfd> hey can anyone tell me how to include a newer wlan driver in my live cd?
[18:46] <LetsGo67> dmsuperman: Firefox team must be working really hard on version 3!  It looks and sounds good so far (no memory leaks), the alpha crashed a lot, but betas should be more stable.
[18:46] <mwe> eTiger13, ls <directory> | grep -v foo.bar
[18:47] <TeamColtra[NADC]> ace12345, so its more of a speed upgrade?
[18:47] <the_darkside_986> I take it that it is not possible to kill an uninterruptible process in Ubuntu? this dang process is stuck in "DN" state and I can't figure out how to change its state manually and kill it somehow. is rebooting the only way?
[18:47] <stardust_> salut!
[18:47] <dmsuperman> LetsGo67, yeah, it's gonna be great. I just want to wait until it's released so my extensions all still work ;)
[18:47] <LetsGo67> dmsuperman: what extensions do you use?
[18:47] <LordInfamous> can someone tell me how to install this from command line? http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/testdisk
[18:47] <fxfitz> banditul, Well, I have it set up so it shares on my Ubuntu machine (and I can see/print to the printer from another Ubuntu machine), and I"m trying to get it to print from a Windows amchine, but the WIndows machine is asking for a driver
[18:47] <kringel> the_darkside_986: try killall -9 processname
[18:47] <stardust_> quelqun pourai m'aider a me loger au tchat voila par hazard?
[18:48] <bazhang> !fr | stardust_
[18:48] <ubotu> stardust_: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[18:48] <dmsuperman> LetsGo67, quite a few, I use some to make browsing quicker, and some to customize firefox, and many for web development
[18:48] <banditul> fxfitz, read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268245
[18:48] <the_darkside_986> killall worked thanks.
[18:48] <dmsuperman> LetsGo67, firebug, web developer, colorzilla, the ruler one, fireftp to name a few
[18:48] <ace12345> TeamColtra[NADC]: oh, I see what you mean, the recent apt version release... well, it is a pretty powerful little tool, but I think the update was just a couple of minor changes, if I recall...
[18:48] <the_darkside_986> er maybe it didn't. i'm having trouble reading this output
[18:48] <LetsGo67> dmsuperman: I only have ubufox :)
[18:48] <Signil> hi .. my acer orbicam isn't detected! pls help I dl the gspca drivers..
[18:48] <eTiger13> mwe that seems to only match directories
[18:49] <murlidhar> nsandiman, http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/devices.php
[18:49] <dmsuperman> LetsGo67, haha, i'd go insane. at the very least i need super drag and go and foxmarks and mouse gestures
[18:49] <mwe> eTiger13, ?
[18:49] <mwe> eTiger13, please elaborate
[18:49] <LetsGo67> lol dmsuperman I'm sure they work great I just haven't tried them yet and now with this detox week coming I might have to wait a while before trying any of 'em.  :)
[18:50] <Syntux> Hi, How can I list all installed packages from the official Ubuntu repositories NOT any other packages from other repos ?
[18:50] <LetsGo67> So Thursday, Hardy is released?
[18:50] <Swish> isn't the ubuntu server boot cd supposed to load up networking?
[18:50]  * Swish is using it inside a VM and.. nothing
[18:50] <ricanelite> can someone please explain to me why I can't enter this thread in the ubuntuforums when i was there two days ago http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=659282
[18:50] <dmsuperman> LetsGo67, I just installed windows dual boot for games, and the first thing i got was firefox
[18:51] <ricanelite> I'm trying to install the 13 Compiz-Fusion Plugins
[18:51] <dmsuperman> LetsGo67, before I even browsed anything i installed those extensions
[18:51] <ricanelite> like 3D windows, and screensavers
[18:51] <dmsuperman> LetsGo67, or I would have went nuts haha
[18:51] <dfd> how do i add a driver to a live cd?
[18:51] <zero__> is there a distro of ubuntu that comes STOCK with IceWM?
[18:51] <ricanelite> anyone could please help me
[18:51] <tab-complete> ricanelite, I'm guessing you have to be logged in to view it.
[18:51] <eTiger13> mwe nevermind, i just needed to add -R to the ls to search within files
[18:51] <murlidhar> ricanelite, neither can i
[18:51] <ricanelite> I am login in
[18:51] <ricanelite> what the heck happen
[18:51] <LetsGo67> Well, dmsuperman, I gotta fly.  Enjoy the chatroom, and have a good day.
[18:51] <murlidhar> ricanelite, see the second option
[18:51] <ricanelite> is there a way I could see this fourm like a RSS?
[18:51] <dmsuperman> LetsGo67, see ya
[18:52] <LetsGo67> Ditto.  :)
[18:52] <ricanelite> cause those instructions were awesome
[18:52] <bent_> !cube | ricanelite
[18:52] <ubotu> ricanelite: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects »
[18:52] <bent_> ricanelite: 8.04 comes with all of them, though. Atleast, it did for me.
[18:52] <mwe> eTiger13 I see
[18:53] <eTiger13> mwe how do i delete the files i matched?
[18:55] <SnakeArt> Hi, everybody.
[18:55] <bent_> Hi, SnakeArt.
[18:55] <SnakeArt> bent_:)
[18:55] <mwe> eTiger13 well I think rm $(<your search query>) would do it
[18:55] <mwe> eTiger13, or rm -f if you don't want to confirm the files
[18:56] <SnakeArt> Is there someone with working Bamboo tablet, and who has wacom file in /dev/input/ ?
[18:56] <bent_> SnakeArt: I have a graphire4 that I got once to work under ubuntu, but that was a while ago.
[18:57] <SnakeArt> bent_: Allelujah! For the first time I meet here someone with tablet. :)
[18:57] <ricanelite> this is crazy
[18:57] <mwe> eTiger13, rm $(find | grep -v foo\.bar)
[18:58] <bent_> SnakeArt: Actually, I have two... but that's more confusing. Anyhow, the wiki entry for Wacom points to the need to compile some stuff... did you do that?
[18:58] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: When X starts on the live cd you should be able to see where it fails on ttyt1 by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 while X is loading
[18:58] <SnakeArt> bent_: I have new wacom Bamboo One and I'm using Gutsy Gibbon. I can't pass the problem of missing file in /dev/input/.
[18:58] <scott__> hi dose anyone know how toget dvd & cd rom to mount they did yesterday but today they will not .werw dd i go in system to turn them on .
[18:58] <Eagle_Boy> jewjew:I guess I will try it again
[18:58] <mwe> eTiger13, confirm find | grep -v foo\.bar does what you want first, though
[18:58] <Eagle_Boy> jewjew: let me tryit again see it it shows me
[18:59] <jewjew> Eagle_Boy: Alright
[18:59] <Eagle_Boy> jewejw:be back in a few
[18:59] <LogicalDash> Is there any way to make it so that, when I drag an image from Firefox to a Pidgin conversation window, it puts the image itself into the editing box, rather than a link to the image?
[18:59] <bent_> SnakeArt: Aha! See, the bamboo isn't yet fully supported in the drivers supplied with ubuntu. You will need to follow the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4253232&postcount=133
[18:59] <poseidon> I am dualbooting openSuse and wiindows xp, how would I go about installing ubuntu over openSuse?
[18:59] <bent_> LogicalDash: Does it matter if you drag it to the desktop first?
[18:59] <SnakeArt> bent_:  I've did everything needed, according to posts on ubuntuforums.org.
[19:00] <LogicalDash> bent_, if I do that it'll drop the image in like I want, but I don't want to have to do that
[19:00] <bent_> poseidon: Do you care about the files in the openSuse part?
[19:00] <poseidon> bent_, no
[19:00] <bent_> LogicalDash: Hm, dunno.
[19:00] <bent_> poseidon: Well, boot into the liveCD, but before you click install, run gparted.
[19:00] <bent_> poseidon: Then, delete the opensuse partition, and leave the free space, then run the installer.
[19:01] <poseidon> bent_, gparted is on the livecd right
[19:01] <bent_> poseidon: When you want to install, use the "largest ... free space"
[19:01] <n-iCe> !broadcom
[19:01] <ubotu> Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[19:01] <eTiger13> mwe: apparently rm can only remove so many files at a time because it tells me the argument list is too long
[19:01] <bent_> poseidon: As of 8.04, haven't checked out older stuff.
[19:01] <SnakeArt> bent_: but I don't understand the fact, that some people has this thing working and some others don't. The same release, the same kernel the same procedures and nothing seems to work in one case, in other works great.
[19:01] <donkeyofdarkness> hai
[19:01] <donkeyofdarkness> bai
[19:02] <nonewmsgs> how can you just do a grub install where it autodetects OSes?
[19:02] <bent_> SnakeArt: "some things work" is common for me, with a non-functioning wireless card. You might be compiling with the wrong kernal... maybe. I dunno.
[19:02] <steven> i added something to my fstab and it f'ed up my box, cannot boot... how can I remove the entry?
[19:02] <mwe> eTiger13, oh
[19:02] <bent_> nonewmsgs: Use the super GRUB disc, with a link I dunno.
[19:02] <nonewmsgs> supergrub disk allows me to boot anthing
[19:02] <nonewmsgs> but it says it's already installed
[19:03] <SnakeArt> bent_: here's a link to my post on ubuntuforums.org, maybe this could help you a little: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4753321#post4753321
[19:04] <scott__> see ya later
[19:04] <bent_> SnakeArt: Well, you posted 49 min ago... I'd wait. Now, I completely forgot how to use my graphire 4 in linux... 'cuz I'm not a design person.
[19:04] <mutable> Hi. How can I list packages which was installed by myself please (not packages which are installed as dependency)? It's similar to world file in Gentoo.
[19:04] <zero88> mutable by yourseld as in without apt-get?
[19:05] <zero88> yourself*
[19:05] <mwe> eTiger13, you could look into mmv or try somthing like for i in $(find | grep -v foo\.bar); do rm $i; done
[19:05] <mutable> zero88: no installed by myself with apt-get.
[19:05]  * nonewmsgs tries a reinstall of grub with that selection in synaptic
[19:05] <mwe> eTiger13, it's getting ugly though
[19:05] <KOJV> Hi! What's the grub command to add a boot sector to /dev/sdb1 ??
[19:05] <KOJV> Thanks!
[19:05] <arvind_khadri> mutable, apt-cache policy <package name>
[19:05] <bent_> mutable: I've never thought to do that. Maybe... hm. dunno.
[19:06] <wenek18> hi all any server expert ?
[19:06] <bent_> KOJV: http://orgs.man.ac.uk/documentation/grub/grub_toc.html
[19:06] <bent_> KOJV: Sorry, too lazy to look through it. :/
[19:06] <eTiger13> wenek18, dont ask to ask, just ask
[19:06] <zero88> avrind_khadri that listing a specific package. I think he wants to do a "ls" of some kind and list all the packages he has installed.
[19:06] <KOJV> Okay but thanks bent, I'll check that out.
[19:07] <eTiger13> mwe thanks for your help. ill just go through the sub folders one by one
[19:07] <mwe> eTiger13, for i in $(find | grep -v foo\.bar); do rm $i; done should work
[19:07] <mwe> eTiger13, ok
[19:07] <wenek18> i need help with bind
[19:07] <mutable> arvind_khadri: I mean I want to list all packages that I installed, not their dependencies.
[19:07] <arvind_khadri> zero88, for that some redirection has to be done
[19:07] <KOJV> How to add highlighting in Pidgin?
[19:08] <bent_> KOJV: Highlighting to... what about it?
[19:08] <crazytalk> when i launch xorg to auto detect video hardware the guide tells me i should be able to just hit enter a few times but instead i start getting asked about other hardware types and enter does nothing
[19:08] <zero88_> arvind_khadri, would you happen to know how to?
[19:08] <bent_> crazytalk: What graphics card/what guide?
[19:08] <KOJV> bent, I wanna make Pidgin markup any messages with my name in them.
[19:09] <arvind_khadri> zero88, yeah but need to test it on my comp,just give me some time will hit back :)
[19:09] <bent_> KOJV: Oh, 'cuz you're using it for IRC. It's probably some plugin.
[19:09] <eTiger13> wenek18, again, you need to be asking something here
[19:09] <KOJV> Like, in mIRC, I've setup so that messages with "KOJV" or "boobs" or "porn" or "nude" or whatever, flashes in red...
[19:09] <latitu> how to start firestarter auto on system start?
[19:09] <wenek18> i need external url to pint to my home server
[19:09] <eTiger13> mwe that seems to be working. wow. i didnt know you could do logic on command line
[19:09] <redwhitewaldo> i don't have firefox running, but when i try to start it up, window pops up saying "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
[19:09] <latitu> how to start firestarter auto on system start? or how to run it as system servcie?
[19:09] <redwhitewaldo> what should i do?
[19:09] <KOJV> You think I can run mIRC in like, Wine or something?
[19:09] <zero88> arvind_khadri, kk
[19:09] <eTiger13> wenek18, thats something you do with DNS
[19:09] <wenek18> i am using mirc in wine
[19:10] <ribak> how to do?
[19:10] <Pici> latitu: Firestarter is just a gui for iptables, iptables is always running.
[19:10] <wenek18> yes is it possibele to configure bind to fdo it ?
[19:10] <BSG75> redwhitewaldo: look in your process manager .. firefox is probably still running
[19:10] <mwe> eTiger13, it's handled like a shell script even if you type it on the cli
[19:10] <SnakeArt> bent_: Thanx a lot. I will keep on trying with that issue. Is that true that there will be a full support for these new tablets in Hardy? How long do I need to wait for this new full release?

[19:13] <NateF> u mean restrt system eith disk in?
[19:13] <KOJV> So, how does GRUB work anyway? I've tried using the root command according to the installation manual in all kinds of ways... root sdb1, root sdb, root sdb,1, root /dev/sdb1 etc... it just won't do anything, it says Error 11: Unrecognized device string
[19:13] <Pici> latitu: I can't think of a way to do that.
[19:13] <BSG75> nateF: just follow the onscreen direction
[19:13] <NateF> ummm, yes
[19:13] <arvind_khadri> NateF, yeah
[19:13] <mwe> nsandiman, writing drivers is a really complicated task, but I guess you know that already
[19:13] <zero88> arvind_khadri, might want to tell Mutable too ;)
