[05:31] <NewtoUbuntu> its working fine Blueeagel im not using the wireless one
[05:31] <NewtoUbuntu> BlueEagle:
[05:31] <kaot> involutary?
[05:31] <BlueEagle> newtoubuntu: 02:17 < BlueEagle> newtoubuntu: Now I saw this review on http://www.ocia.net/reviews/wkeyboard/wpage3.shtml There is a channel selector in the battery bay of the mouse and there should be a small button that you'll need a pen to press. That's probably the 'connect' button.
[05:31] <Drako60> hmm why can't i get UDMA turned on, this is bugging me and causing serious system slow downs
[05:32] <BlueEagle> newtoubuntu: ...but at that time you had left.
[05:32] <cryptic^zazeem> i dloaded a fre mmorpg game called planeshift and it is a .bin file, how can i install it?
[05:32] <NewtoUbuntu> o ok
[05:32] <NewtoUbuntu> ill try that
[05:32] <kazukisan> cryptic^zazeem, sh filename.bin
[05:32] <bluefox83> is there a ubuntu source for mplayer?
[05:32] <cryptic^zazeem> thnx
[05:32] <Don_jr> Well I"m about done.....this thing keeps hanging up on 'loading hardware drivers'
[05:32] <bluefox83> !mplayer
[05:32] <ubotu> mplayer is a media player. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer/Compile to compile it from source or enable multiverse repo and type sudo apt-get install mplayer for more info please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer
[05:32] <ubotu> For Codecs try !codecs Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MplayerInstallHowto for installation tips.
[05:32] <NewtoUbuntu> can some please attempt to install xine-ui and tell me what files it automatically installs so i can remove those?
[05:33] <kazukisan> cryptic^zazeem, you might have to chmod +x file.bin first you also might need sudo for chomod
[05:33] <kazukisan> chmod *
[05:33] <NewtoUbuntu> because im not using xine-ui anymore
[05:33] <BlueEagle> newtoubuntu: Be sure to press the 'id' button on the reciever (the low battery light should apperantly start flashing) before pressing the little white button with a pen.
[05:33] <Don_jr> Someon tell me a wireless card that will work out of the box please I'll go get a new one tomorrow!
[05:33] <BlueEagle> newtoubuntu: That is in theory all that is required to make your mouse work.
[05:33] <NewtoUbuntu> kk
[05:33] <cryptic^zazeem> ok thnx <3
[05:33] <BlueEagle> newtoubuntu: oh, and get a hold of K-PAX, it's a great movie. </ot>
[05:34] <NewtoUbuntu> ok thanks BlueEagle
[05:34] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: there's a way to prevent it from loading a driver...just a sec
[05:34] <kaot> Don_jr: I had good luck with intel 2915 chipset with ubuntu
[05:34] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: do you know which one it hangs on?
[05:34] <BOBSONATOR> Hey, does anyone have expirence of GTK2 installing? cause i am having some probs...
[05:34] <valehru> how can you kill the current x windows session in the console?
[05:34] <Don_jr> kaot what cards have that in them? lol
[05:34] <Pseudohead> anything I should download to get my touchpad working? (synaptics)
[05:35] <Don_jr> lordhelmet it doesn't tell me exactly what's stoping it, it only says "loading hardware drivers" and doen'st move any farther
[05:35] <valehru> i.e. I want a script to do ctrl_alt_backspace
[05:35] <Pseudohead> or.. configure, I mean
[05:35] <kaot> Don_jr: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG MiniPCI Adapter (rev 05)
[05:35] <BlueEagle> valehru: try: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[05:35] <kaot> Don_jr: friend gave it to me, I dunno what it says on the box :\
[05:35] <BlueEagle> valehru: it will basically do the same thing (restart the X-server(
[05:35] <valehru> BlueEagle, thanks
[05:35] <valehru> lemme try it out
[05:35] <Don_jr> kaot damn....I've heard D-links may work? lol
[05:35] <valehru> thanks
[05:36] <BlueEagle> valehru: np. :)
[05:36] <BlueEagle> Where did newtoubuntu go? o.O
[05:36] <kaot> Don_jr: dunno.  Maybe?  Haven't tried it yet.
[05:36] <ubuntu> hi guys
[05:36] <Don_jr> I hate to say this, but I had alot less problems with debian.....
[05:37] <Jamminpotato> i have one more question and after this i'll go away for a few hours,

[05:37] <ubuntu> regarding lilo in ubuntu
[05:37] <Jamminpotato> i tried editing xorg.conf
[05:37] <Jamminpotato> but to no avail
[05:37] <Don_jr> Finally it loaded
[05:37] <galoi1> what I make to change utf-8 for iso8859-1?
[05:37] <lampshade> wow, so you know how I was just complaining about 100% cpu usage with flash in any web browser?
[05:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamminpotato: What video card..
[05:37] <lampshade> turns out it was xorg
[05:37] <lampshade> even weirder, I turn on XGL, and the problem is gone
[05:37] <Jamminpotato> Jack_Sparrow: 9800pro
[05:37] <cryptic^zazeem> kazukisan: zazeem@zazilla:~$ chmod +x /home/zazeem/Desktop/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015b.bin zazeem@zazilla:~$ sudo sh /home/zazeem/Desktop/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015b.bin  /home/zazeem/Desktop/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015b.bin: /home/zazeem/Desktop/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015b.bin: cannot execute binary file
[05:38] <RamiKassab> BlueEagle: ok so libqt3-mt-dev helped with make
[05:38] <Eppcott> Hello, I hope someone here can help me with my problem.
[05:38] <BlueEagle> ramikassab: good stuff. :)
[05:38] <RamiKassab> BlueEagle: I'm still getting one error though and I don't know where to start with it
[05:38] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: you just let it sit and it finally went
[05:38] <lordhelmet> ?
[05:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamminpotato: How did you install the ati drivers
[05:38] <Don_jr> Okay, back to square 1.  got 1 blinky light that's green, no others, any help??
[05:38] <ubuntu> BlueEagle: can ya help plz
[05:38] <RamiKassab> BlueEagle: good news is, I can now compile Quasar at least :)
[05:38] <BlueEagle> ramikassab: googling the error message usually helps.
[05:38] <Don_jr> lordhelmet no, was the 4rth restart
[05:38] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: with lilo and ubuntu?
[05:38] <RamiKassab> BlueEagle: ok I'll look around... mind if I bother you if nothing turns up?
[05:38] <ubuntu> BlueEagle:  yes
[05:38] <marshall_> hey guys
[05:38] <Jamminpotato> Jack_Sparrow: uh..... i havent installed any, i just did the base install
[05:38] <ubuntu> i wana install lilo on ubuntu
[05:39] <marshall_> is there any way at all tog et gmailfs working in dapper?
[05:39] <cryptic^zazeem> when i type sudo sh nameoffile.bin it says cannot execute a binary file :/
[05:39] <BlueEagle> ramikassab: I'm on my way to bed, besides I rarely compile stuff and even rearer are they QT apps. :)
[05:39] <Eppcott> Firefox will no longer start for me on Ubuntu.
[05:39] <cryptic^zazeem> help pleae
[05:39] <Don_jr> lordhelmet okay I have green blinky light, nothing else, I'll go double check my network settings.  The card shows that it sees my router I put in the wep key and still no net
[05:39] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: to stop a driver from loading (if you know which one) add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[05:39] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: Well what is the problem with lilo and ubuntu?
[05:39] <AWOSDev> *sigh*
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati > Jamminpotato
[05:39] <Jamminpotato> not ati is better than me?
[05:39] <marshall_> Eppcott:  do you have extensions on it?
[05:39] <ubuntu> BlueEagle:  cant get it to install
[05:39] <ubuntu> have u ever tried installing there?
[05:39] <marshall_> lol
[05:39] <Don_jr> lordhelmet alright
[05:39] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: Getting an error message there?
[05:39] <Eppcott> I did, yes.
[05:39] <lampshade> Jamminpotato: I would follow this, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI  I it worked perfectly
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamminpotato: what?
[05:39] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: oh, and why would you want lilo?
[05:40] <Jamminpotato> Jack_Sparrow: ! = not in a lot of programming, ergo !ATI > Jamminpotato
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamminpotato: ati or nvidia or ?
[05:40] <AWOSDev> kaot: I disconnected my integrated LAN and that's why my IRC died :(
[05:40] <kaot> AWOSDev: doh
[05:40] <ubuntu> BlueEagle:  wana dual boot
[05:40] <Don_jr> lordhelmet okay network settings shows wireless connection interface wlan0 is active
[05:40] <AWOSDev> kaot: Obviously it doesn't work
[05:40] <cryptic^zazeem> anyone please :(
[05:40] <Don_jr> lordhelmet but I still have no internet
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamminpotato: What model of video card..
[05:40] <AWOSDev> kaot: Did you see though that I said it connected?
[05:40] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: and grub won't let you do that?
[05:40] <jshriver> hi
[05:40] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: can you connect without WEP/WPA? i was having this problem in Gentoo where my ipw3945 would work w/o security, but bork with
[05:40] <cryptic^zazeem> i dloaded a free mmorpg game called planeshift and it is a .bin file, how can i install it?
[05:40] <marshall_> Eppcott:  for soem reason firefox isnt doing very well with extensions right now, i think if you somehow make a new profile, or reinstall firefox it should be okay
[05:40] <RamiKassab> BlueEagle: ok thank you for the help man
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamminpotato: I also need to go in a minute
[05:40] <ubuntu> BlueEagle: i have ubuntu here with grub
[05:40] <Jamminpotato> Jack_Sparrow: i said it was a 9800pro
[05:40] <RamiKassab> BlueEagle: take care
[05:40] <BlueEagle> ramikassab: np. :)
[05:40] <kaot> AWOSDev: I think last I saw you weren't sure if the password worked
[05:40] <marshall_> Eppcott:  you can back up your bookmarks and stuff
[05:40] <ubuntu> wana install slackware with lilo
[05:40] <lordhelmet> cryptic: check website, or chmod +x the file and ./file
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamminpotato: 9800 pro WHAT
[05:40] <AWOSDev> AWOSDev: right I wasn't
[05:41] <jshriver> Whenever I login to GDM all I get is a brown screen, sees like my startup gdm scripts are borked.. but if I login from the console as root, and do startx it all works.. how can I fix this?
[05:41] <ubuntu> wont lilo erase grub?
[05:41] <AWOSDev> kaot: right I wasn't
[05:41] <Don_jr> lordhelmet no I have no way of removing it that I know of.
[05:41] <AWOSDev> kaot: Then I said
[05:41] <cryptic^zazeem> lordhelmut: whats thew chmod cmd layout?
[05:41] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: You can use the grub that ubuntu installed to boot slack.
[05:41] <jshriver> or how can I reset the default
[05:41] <Eppcott> marshall_: I'm not too concerned about losing my bookmarks, since they're on del.icio.us anyway.
[05:41] <Jamminpotato> Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean its an ati radeon 9800pro
[05:41] <AWOSDev> kaot: Successfully connected to 'theDOMAIN1 (Private)' at 23:23:23
[05:41] <Eppcott> but do I have to uninstall Firefox in order to reinstall?
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamminpotato: I know ati made one, is yours made by someone else?
[05:41] <Don_jr> lordhelmet going to my router page to see if I can dissable it or not, but I don't think I can
[05:41] <AWOSDev> kaot: IT WORKED!  IT REALLY WORKED!
[05:41] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: you can't turn off the security?? every router defaults to having no security...
[05:41] <jshriver> hrm
[05:41] <fogos> is there a way to startx  as normal user?
[05:41] <AWOSDev> kaot: Thank you SO SO VERY VERY much!
[05:41] <Jamminpotato> Jack_Sparrow: it shouldnt matter who made it should it?
[05:41] <ubuntu> BlueEagle: like install slackware, then boot from live cd chroot and install grub again?
[05:41] <AWOSDev> kaot: Then I said it was time for the 'big test'
[05:41] <AWOSDev> kaot: which obviously failed :(
[05:42] <lordhelmet> cryptic: 'man chmod' for info
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamminpotato: Ok...You need the drivers for the chipset in your video card to generate the res you want
[05:42] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: You can even have it chain-load the lilo menu that slack wants to install by having slack install lilo to the partition it's on and not the MBR.
[05:42] <Don_jr> lordhelmet I have a 2wire router/modem combo.  It's my DSL modem and a wireless and 4 port wired router all in one box
[05:42] <Jamminpotato> Jack_Sparrow: wel thats annoying
[05:42] <lampshade> Jamminpotato: it shouldn't matter, just an ATI card will use the ATI binary driver.  I would follow the instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI and see if that works out and then troubleshoot from there.  I followed those instructions and had 0 problems
[05:42] <kaot> AWOSDev: I don't think any of that got through :\  ok, open a term, iwconfig, see ifyou're associated to the ap
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamminpotato: WHich means you must load the drivers as per the link I gave you !ATI
[05:42] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: Well if you've got lilo now it will probably be easy enough to add an entry for ubuntu there.
[05:42] <ubuntu> BlueEagle: that is the thing i dont have lilo now
[05:42] <synic> Jamminpotato: if loading required drivers is annoying, you might try another OS.
[05:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamminpotato: What is anoying.. like Windows dosent need a driver?
[05:43] <ubuntu> that is why i wana install it, so it is easy to edit lilo.conf file
[05:43] <Jamminpotato> i was just kidding
[05:43] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: However I haven't used lilo since Mandrake 8.2 or something so I do unfortunately not remember the syntax.
[05:43] <Jamminpotato> gosh
[05:43] <AWOSDev> Access Point: 00:16:B6:08:6D:F7
[05:43] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: you should still be able to disable the wireless security...if you can't...*pulls collar*...go spend 50 bucks (CDN) on a linksys
[05:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Bye
[05:43] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: oh.. well then what have you got? :)
[05:43] <kaot> AWOSDev: you're seeing the essid in there?
[05:43] <Jamminpotato> synic:  you seem a bit cynical
[05:43] <ubuntu> grub now
[05:43] <Jamminpotato> thanks jack_sparrow
[05:43] <AWOSDev> kaot: Yes
[05:43] <lampshade> Jamminpotato: its cool, try the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI and see if it works out I think people in here are stressing over this too much
[05:43] <Don_jr> lordhelmet I have a belkin router that works just fine, but I can't connect my dsl modem to it
[05:43] <AWOSDev> eth1      IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"theDOMAIN1 (Private)"
[05:43] <cryptic^zazeem> lordhelmut: it says use the run command and it will unpack the binary, on the site.  Whats the run cmd?
[05:43] <ubuntu> wana change bootloader to lilo
[05:43] <kaot> AWOSDev: ifconfig wlan0, look for an IP addrss
[05:43] <Jamminpotato> lampshade: i just started on that thanks
[05:44] <lordhelmet> cryptic: it means run the file you downloaded
[05:44] <AWOSDev> eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:14:BF:D8:C4:20   inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>
[05:44] <AWOSDev> kaot: That's the same IP I got in Windows
[05:44] <BlueEagle> !lilo
[05:44] <ubotu> lilo is an alternative [Li] nux Boot[Lo] ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.
[05:44] <cryptic^zazeem> loedhelmut: when i double click it it opens with cxoffice :/
[05:44] <cryptic^zazeem> lordhelmut: when i double click it it opens with cxoffice :/
[05:44] <Jamminpotato> what would i do without this irc channel?
[05:45] <AWOSDev> Jamminpotato: I don't know what *any* of us would do without this IRC channel :)
[05:45] <lordhelmet> cryptic: what's the game again? also did you 'chmod +x <file>; ./<file>'
[05:45] <Don_jr> lordhelmet my router reads that there is an unknown wireless device within range....
[05:45] <ryan_> im a nob...how do i get premissions to write to my fstab
[05:45] <Jamminpotato> AWOSDev: hooray irc!
[05:45] <kaot> AWOSDev: you should be good to go, basically OMG vlad guerrero double play to end the inning WOO
[05:45] <Ash-Fox> Don_jr, IT'S A TRAP!
[05:45] <Eppcott> marshall_: I'm assuming I can uninstall it with Symantic Package Manager and then use that to reinstall it as well.
[05:45] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: Well I've never tried that, and in fact I find grub to be superiour. However it is possible to install lilo. What you need is the lilo package (obviously) and then set up your lilo.conf (ususally in /etc) then install the bootloader with sudo lilo
[05:45] <AWOSDev> ryan_: sudo kate fstab
[05:45] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: but there is no option to disable the security, or set it to none?
[05:45] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: there should be a man entry for lilo.conf iirc
[05:45] <cryptic^zazeem> lordhelmut: the game is planeshift
[05:46] <kaot> ahem.  okay anyway, you should be good to go at this point except for maybe network manager getting confused.
[05:46] <Don_jr> lordhelmet I have wep open, wep shared and wpa psk as options
[05:46] <AWOSDev> ryan_: I mean try typing "sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[05:46] <lampshade> network manager is made of win and cool
[05:46] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: there's also a package called 'lilo-config' which is a QT front-end to setting up lilo.
[05:46] <Don_jr> lordhelmet is wep shared meaning no security?
[05:46] <BlueEagle> ubuntu: I hope that helps.
[05:46] <kaot> AWOSDev: when you disconnected your nic, you did that through network manager?
[05:46] <hush> I need some help fixing my ubuntu :(
[05:46] <AWOSDev> kaot: Huh?  No I pulled the plug :D
[05:47] <Eppcott> marshall_: should I tell Symantic Package Manager to "Mark For Removal" or "Mark For Complete Removal"?
[05:47] <kaot> AWOSDev: ah, there ya go.  probably your default route was still via the nic.
[05:47] <jshriver> Can someone help me with some gdm problems?
[05:47] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: no, just a different kind of wep
[05:47] <kaot> AWOSDev: try deactivating it in network manager, that should bring it down completely
[05:47] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: what other options you see
[05:47] <Jamminpotato> AWOSDev: are you a devolper of somethign or is it jut your handle
[05:47] <varsendaggr> hello    how do i rip and encode a cd to mp3   so that the files are about 5 mb    i am comming up with 30 mb files
[05:48] <AWOSDev> Jamminpotato: I am an OS Dev-eloper
[05:48] <AWOSDev> kaot: So if I type "ifup eth0 down" and it is working right
[05:48] <AWOSDev> kaot: then it won't disconnect me from IRC?
[05:48] <Jamminpotato> AWOSDev: any particular os's in particular?
[05:48] <Don_jr> lordhelmet I can set the key to my own choosing instead of default and speed and channel
[05:48] <jshriver> I can't get X running, if I run startx from root it works fine, but I can't login via GDM to use my user account
[05:48] <AWOSDev> Jamminpotato: Yes, AWOS :)
[05:48] <cryptic^zazeem> lordhelmut: it works chmoded it
[05:48] <hush> I'm pretty sure I have the messed up ubuntu update problem that is posted on Ubuntu.com - but I can't figure out how to fix it
[05:48] <AWOSDev> Jamminpotato: http://code.google.com/p/awos
[05:48] <jshriver> it's like it's not loading gnome2 , etc
[05:48] <lordhelmet> cryptic: :)
[05:48] <AWOSDev> Jamminpotato: Also going in to WINE development
[05:48] <lampshade> hush: it has already been fixed
[05:48] <kaot> AWOSDev: ...yanno, that's a good question.  I think it might actually knock you off irc.  reconnecting should be no problem.
[05:48] <lampshade> hush: from the command line sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:48] <hush> lampshade: mine hasn't
[05:48] <marshall_> Eppcott:  i think complete removal would be best
[05:49] <Don_jr> lordhelmet when I clicked on 'properties' in the network settings the yellow light blinked for a moment then stopped
[05:49] <AWOSDev> I'll knock myself off.  Goodbye everybody
[05:49] <marshall_> Eppcott:  that way it wipes all your configurations and profiles
[05:49] <hush> lampshade: i did all of those things - mine is still messed up
[05:49] <ToHellWithGA> is there some file with a log of what i see at startup?  regarding which modules loaded and failed and all that
[05:49] <lampshade> hush: the new package should be downloaded and installed (it did for me)
[05:49] <omoore> if there are any ubuntu maintainers here.. bang up job.. i'm really impressed with ubuntu
[05:49] <lampshade> hush: crap... I don't know then :-/
[05:49] <Eppcott> marshall_: Thanks.
[05:49] <hush> lampshade: yeah it sucks :(
[05:49] <lampshade> hush: maybe try a dist-upgrade  :-/ ?
[05:49] <marshall_> Eppcott:  np
[05:49] <Vaske_Car> is there Linux software that can edit .PSD files (photoshop) ?
[05:49] <hush> lampshade: i did :(
[05:50] <marshall_> does anybody know if its possible to get gmailfs working?
[05:50] <hush> lampshade: think i should reinstall? it wont hurt me any.. i've only had ubuntu for 5 or so days
[05:50] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: poke around for a couple minutes in every conceivable options corner you can find, or check your router documentation to see if you can disable it completely....if it can connect w/o encryption, at least that's a step.
[05:50] <lordhelmet> hush: when i first started playing, i reinstalled so often :)
[05:50] <Don_jr> lordhelmet what ya mean without encryption?
[05:51] <x81> how do i install skype in ubuntu 6.06? i jst downloaded it and when i try to install it i get a message which says that i need to grant permission. but when i clik on the grant button, the window jst closed
[05:51] <lordhelmet> hush: it was kind of depressing
[05:51] <bluefox83> whats the name of the windows media codecs?
[05:51] <hush> lordhelmet: lol cool - how do i do it? just pop the live CD back in and go from there?
[05:51] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: i mean to disable WEP completely, to test
[05:51] <bluefox83> !w32codecs

[05:51] <lampshade> hush: no idea, you probably want someone in the channel with more xorg expertise.  I'm very limited in the knowledge I can hand out in the room.  Usually if my first solution fails I got nothing.
[05:51] <lordhelmet> hush: yep :)
[05:51] <hush> lordhelmet: what probs did you have - why did you reinstall, mine is messed up from the update error :(
[05:51] <Jamminpotato> is there anyway to reboot x without rebooting everything?
[05:51] <lordhelmet> hush: oh the crazy xorg problem? i thought it got fixed right away?
[05:51] <lampshade> x81: hmm that's weird.  I've installed it that way before fine.  Try opening up a command line and then doing sudo dpkg -i skypelfilenamehere.deb
[05:52] <lampshade> see if any errors or anything are listed
[05:52] <hush> lordhelmet: not mine.. it tells me that it is already up to date but still wont let me into ubuntu
[05:52] <Jamminpotato> do i have to completely reboot to restart x
[05:52] <bruenig> jamminpotato, do ctrl alt backspace to restart x
[05:52] <lampshade> hush: tried the dist-upgrade too?
[05:53] <Jamminpotato> ythanks
[05:53] <hush> lampshade: yeah :(
[05:53] <lampshade> hrmmm
[05:53] <hush> lampshade: upgrade, update, dist-upgrade
[05:53] <lampshade> hush: when you type startx from a command line what happens
[05:53] <lordhelmet> hush: ....i would suggest google around for a couple more minutes, search the forums, and if you haven't found a solution in about 10 minutes, just reinstall....it takes no time; especially if you haven't been playing that long
[05:53] <bruenig> x is started
[05:53] <lampshade> hush: are any errors listed by chance?
[05:54] <lordhelmet> hush: the more knowledge you gain, the longer you spend on problems, until you can fix everything without EVER rebooting :)
[05:54] <hush> lampshade: what is startx - never did that one
[05:54] <lampshade> hush: it is like the manual start xorg command instead of something like /etc/init.d/gdm start or other commands
[05:54] <lordhelmet> hush: startx.....starts......X..... lol
[05:54] <bruenig> once you learn your way around /etc/init.d, you can pretty much do whatever you need without rebooting
[05:54] <lampshade> it is more basic and usually will say some erros
[05:55] <Eppcott> marshall_: I did a complete uninstall of Firefox, reinstalled it, and it still acts the same way
[05:55] <x81> lampshade: i got this error dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[05:55] <hush> lampshade: nope no errors, it lets me login at the normal login prompt.. and then it goes to a maroon colored background and never does anything.. i can move the mouse and all but nothing ever loads onto the screen except maroon :(
[05:55] <bruenig> Eppcott, what is the problem?
[05:55] <marshall_> Eppcott:  what does it do?
[05:55] <lordhelmet> x81: either you are running another apt-get/synaptic/whatever somewhere else or didn't sudo
[05:55] <marshall_> does anybody know if its possible to get gmailfs working?
[05:56] <hush> lampshade: does nothing*** not anything
[05:56] <bruenig> apt-get install gmailfs?
[05:56] <lordhelmet> hush: try 'aptitude purge ubuntu-desktop' then after it uninstalls everything, 'aptitude install ubuntu-desktop;
[05:56] <AWOSDev> Ugh well this sucks
[05:56] <blithe> I never could get gmailfs to do anything for me. :P
[05:56] <cdg52> i have issue whre when i run the updater, it will simply reload and not install any updates and apt-get upgrade installs everything but xgl stuff
[05:56] <AWOSDev> I'm on my Linux router
[05:56] <Mixx> didn't they start blocking gmailfs?
[05:56] <kaot> ...
[05:56] <hush> lordhelmet: whats that do
[05:56] <kaot> damn.  I thought you'd be good to go
[05:56] <lordhelmet> AWOSDev: and that's bad?
[05:57] <x81> lordhelmet: i did sudo. how do i stop the others?
[05:57] <AWOSDev> running sudo ifconfig eth1 down killed my laptop
[05:57] <kaot> what the whole thing?
[05:57] <AWOSDev> kaot: No just networking
[05:57] <AWOSDev> kaot: Google won't even come up
[05:57] <lordhelmet> hush: will uninstall everything (hopefully) ubuntu-desktop brought in, and then you reinstall it all again...might take a little while, but worth a shot
[05:57] <kaot> AWOSDev: oh.  you got more than one computer there?
[05:57] <AWOSDev> kaot: No Google, no Wikipedia, no freenode :(
[05:57] <AWOSDev> kaot: Yes I have the Linux router
[05:58] <AWOSDev> kaot: Cable modem->Linux router->Switch->Laptop
[05:58] <hush> lordhelmet: so try that first, before uninstalling ubuntu
[05:58] <AWOSDev> kaot: Thank heavens
[05:58] <Don_jr> lordhelmet sorry, I did shut the security off and had to reconfigure my XP box here to see it, but security is off now
[05:58] <bjron> hey, anyone know of a tool or script that will let me rotate a movie 90 degrees?
[05:58] <AWOSDev> kaot: I have a total of 12 computers here :)
[05:58] <kaot> :O  sweet
[05:58] <lordhelmet> x81: shutdown synaptic or whatever else, then kill any other processes manually or let them finish (ps aux, look for the process, then kill <process)
[05:58] <AWOSDev> So I *never* have to worry about one going down :)
[05:58] <lordhelmet> AWOSDev: bah i only have 6
[05:58] <AWOSDev> 7 have NICs :)
[05:58] <kaot> AWOSDev: ok, so as it stands, the other box is more or less offline with eth1 down
[05:58] <Don_jr> lordhelmet I still don't have a connection on my wireless card though and ubuntu is reloading as we speak
[05:58] <AWOSDev> kaot: Even with eth1 up
[05:58] <kaot> AWOSDev: but ifconfig wlan0 shows you've got an IP
[05:59] <DanaG> Yay, I fixed my DHCP!
[05:59] <AWOSDev> kaot: once I ran "sudo ifconfig eth0 down" it killed it
[05:59] <cdg52> i have issue whre when i run the updater, it will simply reload and not install any updates and apt-get upgrade installs everything but xgl stuff
[05:59] <DanaG> I figured out what it was:
[05:59] <AWOSDev> kaot: even running "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" didn't fix it
[05:59] <DanaG> I needed to add
[05:59] <DanaG> send-hostname "m685"
[05:59] <Eppcott> when I start Firefox, the "Starting Firefox Web Browser" appears in the "windows list" bar next to my other applications, but the application itself never appears on my desktop. The "waiting/working" circular cursor keeps spinning around and around for a minute. When it stops, the "Starting Firefox Web Browser" disappears from the "windows list" bar, and that's it.
[05:59] <sc0ri0n> does anyone know what's the fix for gnome network manager applet icon that tells me I have no network connectivity right now ?
[05:59] <AWOSDev> kaot: ifconfig shows both eth0 *and* eth1 have IPs
[05:59] <DanaG> to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[05:59] <AWOSDev> kaot: but neither works anymore :(
[05:59] <kaot> AWOSDev: ... wait, it shows as eth1 not wlan0?
[05:59] <DanaG> (replace m685 with your hostname)
[05:59] <Jamminpotato> well that didnt go very well
[06:00] <Don_jr> I still only have a green blinky light and no connection on my internet connections.  in the interface properties it does show the router
[06:00] <AWOSDev> kaot: Sorry yes I meant eth0 down not eth1 down :)
[06:00] <bruenig> eppcott, do "whereis firefox" in the terminal and paste the output
[06:00] <Jamminpotato> i defeintly messed up my xorg.conf, was giant pain in the but
[06:00] <lampshade> Eppcott: it might just be locked up in memory.  Open a terminal and try killall firefox-bin
[06:00] <kazukisan> cryptic^zazeem, you might have to chmod +x file.bin first you also might need sudo for chomod
[06:00] <AWOSDev> kaot: If I took eth1 down that would defeat the whole purpose :)
[06:00] <kaot> AWOSDev: weird.  normally bcm + ndiswrapper = wlan0
[06:00] <kazukisan> I have a Sata HDD hooked up it see's it, but in "Disk" it lets me reformat to what ever but it always says none of the free space is avaible and i can't mount nor enable it ?? Any suggestions Please ^_^
[06:00] <AWOSDev> kaot: Yes that was the default
[06:00] <AWOSDev> kaot: But I specifically configured it for eth1
[06:00] <cdg52> i have issue whre when i run the updater, it will simply reload and not install any updates and apt-get upgrade installs everything but xgl stuff
[06:00] <Geoffrey2> sethk, good evening :)
[06:01] <Don_jr> So basicly my card is reading that the router is there, but ubuntu won't recognize the network for some reason
[06:01] <kaot> AWOSDev: hm.  Dunno how drivers and kernel interact to come up with device names.  hopefully that isn't a problem.  anyhow, the nic is down, the wireless interface is up
[06:01] <kaot> correct?
[06:01] <AWOSDev> kaot: Originally
[06:01] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: hmm....well does the card at least get recognized so it shows up in ifconfig and iwconfig? if it does, it's some encryption issue most likely
[06:01] <x81> ok. now i got this error dpkg: status database area is locked by another process. can i install skype using the synaptic manager instead of downloading it from skype website?
[06:01] <AWOSDev> kaot: then I brought the NIC back up and *still* couldn't get to Google
[06:02] <Eppcott> firefox: /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu /usr/bin/firefox /etc/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/bin/X11/firefox.ubuntu /usr/bin/X11/firefox /usr/share/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz
[06:02] <kaot> AWOSDev: ok, drop the nic again
[06:02] <Don_jr> lordhelmet I'll run those now and we'll see
[06:02] <AWOSDev> kaot: dropping...
[06:02] <DanaG> My ipw3945 is eth1
[06:02] <Eppcott> lampshade: It's been doing this for months.
[06:02] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: do you have deb http://www.beerorkid.com/compiz/ dapper main in your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[06:02] <AWOSDev> kaot: dropped
[06:02] <lampshade> Eppcott: hrmmmm  I have no idea then
[06:02] <bruenig> x81, I don't see skype in any of my repos and I have pretty much all of them if you don't count obscure ones like PLF or Seveas or the like
[06:03] <AWOSDev> DanaG, kaot: I specifically set in ndiswrapper's configuration file to make it eth1
[06:03] <kaot> AWOSDev: Then sudo route -n, the bottom line should read <IP_ADDRESS> in the first column, your router IP in the second, and your wireless interface in the last.
[06:03] <bruenig> Eppcott, do "firefox", see if there are any errors
[06:03] <lampshade> I have skype in my repos, though you can download it anyway.  The one in the repo isn't the newest one though I don't think
[06:03] <cdg52> sc0rin0: it should be there, it was last time i checked but let me double check
[06:03] <Don_jr> ifconfig out put.  wlan0 link encap:Ethernet HWaddr  address, scope:link, up broadcast running multicast mtu:1500 all packets errors dropped and overruns are zero
[06:03] <Don_jr> lordhelmet is this okay so far?
[06:03] <AWOSDev> kaot: No, there's only one column
[06:03] <bruenig> !info skype
[06:03] <ubotu> Package skype does not exist in dapper
[06:03] <AWOSDev> kaot: *row
[06:04] <Eppcott> bruenig: when you say "do" firefox, is that a command line thing?
[06:04] <bruenig> yeah
[06:04] <bruenig> command line
[06:04] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: yes at least it's getting recognized enought to show up there
[06:04] <hangfire> you can get skype with easyubuntu
[06:04] <DanaG> !automatix
[06:04] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[06:04] <AWOSDev> kaot: <IP_ADDRESS>   <IP_ADDRESS>    eth1
[06:04] <Jamminpotato> thanks everyone who helped me.... when i get good at this i'll try and help out n00bs too...g'night
[06:04] <Eppcott> OK, I typed "firefox" on the command line...
[06:04] <cdg52> sc0rin0: ya its there
[06:04] <Eppcott> it just gave me another prompt.
[06:04] <Don_jr> lordhelmet iwconfig shows IEEE 802.11fh essid:off/any  mode managed, channel:0 AP not-associated.  Bit Rate:1 mb/s link quality, signal and noise all at 0
[06:04] <AWOSDev> Goodnight, Jamminpotato!
[06:04] <cdg52> the compiz one
[06:04] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: does the output of iwconfig involve a "key" section or "encryption" or something
[06:05] <sc0ri0n> cdg52" what's error you get ?
[06:05] <kaot> AWOSDev: sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth1
[06:05] <DanaG> I had DHCP issues (namely, no response) even on my wired.
[06:05] <DanaG> Until I added the hostname.
[06:05] <Don_jr> lordhelmet no, nothing about encription or key is listed in the iwconfig
[06:05] <bruenig> Eppcott, maybe your path is messed up try "/usr/bin/firefox"
[06:05] <cdg52> sc0rin0: The following packages have been kept back:
[06:05] <cdg52>   cgwd compiz compiz-gnome
[06:05] <cdg52> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
[06:05] <DanaG> What's the difference between automatix and easyubuntu?
[06:05] <newbie> hi!
[06:05] <bruenig> automatix does more
[06:05] <omoore> what is the preferred tool to configure your monitor make/model with ubuntu?
[06:06] <Eppcott> hmm, /usr/bin/firefox also resulted in a new prompt.
[06:06] <omoore> not resolution.. the make/model
[06:06] <AWOSDev> kaot: done
[06:06] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: interesting, you may want to try automatix bleeder
[06:06] <AWOSDev> kaot: still won't Google or PING
[06:06] <Don_jr> lordrom should I run ndiswrapper -l ?
[06:06] <cdg52> i have that installed also
[06:06] <newbie> is there any indonesian here?
[06:06] <kaot> AWOSDev: what's in /etc/resolv.conf?
[06:06] <cdg52> but i never installed it with that
[06:06] <Greatmetal> how do i get flash and java working in swiftfox ???
[06:06] <AWOSDev> kaot: PING says "Destination host unreachable"
[06:06] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: i'm running out of ideas...i'm pretty sure it's some sort of encryption issue, where the software can't talk to the router as far as encryption goes, but i'm lost as to how to solve that
[06:06] <kaot> AWOSDev: can you ping the default gateway?
[06:06] <sc0ri0n> also check out this: http://sc0ri0n.blogspot.com/2006/08/automatix-bleeder-compiz.html
[06:06] <Healot> cat /etc/resolv.conf for use, AWOSDev
[06:06] <bruenig> eppcott, that is really weird, do cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox
[06:06] <wolfmanz> Why would the ATI driver not be working after a easyubuntu install?
[06:07] <sc0ri0n> I had talked to one of the developers
[06:07] <AWOSDev> kaot: That's what I'm trying to PING
[06:07] <AWOSDev> Healot: I know that :)
[06:07] <sc0ri0n> they keep stuff up-to-date
[06:07] <hangfire> wolfmanz, is your ati card under or over 9500?
[06:07] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: i feel kind of bad because i'm wireless right now.........i'd try to find a router you can test with w/o security, and scour google some more....unless anybody else has some ideas
[06:07] <cdg52> sc0ri0n: it says it can not install it because i have a ati car
[06:07] <cdg52> d
[06:07] <wolfmanz> hangfire: 9800 pro
[06:07] <izirku> I'm trying to add a location to $PATH per user, not globaly, but ~/.bashrc seems not to work...
[06:07] <Eppcott> OK. That resulted in "matt@p4:/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox$"
[06:08] <hangfire> wolfmanz, ok then I dont know
[06:08] <AWOSDev> kaot: /etc/resolv.conf: three lines.  1 search theDOMAIN1.com    2 nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>   3 nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:08] <Don_jr> lordhelmet I thank you for your help.  It seems I'm so close....lol
[06:08] <bruenig> well the lib directory exists, that is a good sign do "./firefox"
[06:08] <Greatmetal> how do i get flash and java working in swiftfox ???
[06:08] <Don_jr> lordhelmet I've been fighting with getting ubuntu installed all night last night and this morning, finally get it installed and can't get online.....ugh! lol
[06:08] <AWOSDev> kaot: I'm trying to "ping <IP_ADDRESS>" and that *is* the AP IP
[06:08] <kaot> AWOSDev: huh.  How's your network setup go again?
[06:08] <phargle> swiftfox?
[06:08] <bruenig> Greatmetal, do you have them working in firefox?
[06:08] <AWOSDev> kaot: Hold on one second
[06:08] <Greatmetal> i dont have firefox it didnt work
[06:09] <bruenig> Greatmetal, did you have them installed?
[06:09] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: that's weird, it is supporting both ATI and nVidia
[06:09] <Greatmetal> yes
[06:09] <cdg52> yeah but bleeder doesnt it apears
[06:09] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: it probably is, just some little tweak or version mismatch...
[06:09] <bruenig> ok, do this ls /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins, paste the output
[06:09] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: so what exactly is the error?
[06:09] <Eppcott> bash: ./firefox: No such file or directory
[06:10] <wolfmanz> would the easyubuntu install be dependent opn the 386 kernal for the ati driver?
[06:10] <Greatmetal> ls: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins: No such file or directory
[06:10] <bruenig> Eppcott, do "ls | grep firefox", tell me the output
[06:10] <cdg52> sc0ri0n: what do you mean error? basicly what i understand the error being is that it will not install the updates sitting in the upgrade manager, and as long as they sit there i can not use the GUI version i have to use apt-get upgrade
[06:10] <sc0ri0n> ahhh
[06:10] <BOBSONATOR> Hey, does anyone know how to install GTK2?
[06:10] <BOBSONATOR> i want a minimalistic theme.
[06:10] <bruenig> Greatmetal, did you uninstall firefox?
[06:10] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: I have the problem actually
[06:10] <Don_jr> lordhelmet well I"m doin trying for the night.  I'll mess with it some more in the morning.  Thanx again for all the help.
[06:10] <Greatmetal> yes
[06:10] <sc0ri0n> I think updatemanager is broken
[06:11] <Greatmetal> it disnt work
[06:11] <Healot> !find libgtk2
[06:11] <ubotu> Found: libgtk2-perl, libgtk2.0-cil, libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl, libgtk2-ex-volumebutton-perl, libgtk2-gladexml-perl (and 13 others)
[06:11] <DanaG> Okay, now my issue is that snd-hda-intel acts odd sometimes.
[06:11] <DanaG> It gives me an SPDIF slider that shouldn't be there, and it gives no output.
[06:11] <cdg52> sc0ri0n: o hmm any way to upgrade then?
[06:11] <Eppcott> when I type ls | grep firefox it just repeats the same prompt.
[06:11] <bruenig> yeah, but when you uninstalled it. All the plugins went with it.
[06:11] <bruenig> Eppcott, the firefox executables are gone
[06:11] <bruenig> that is why it wont run
[06:12] <Eppcott> hmm
[06:12] <Greatmetal> okay i can live without it thanks
[06:12] <bruenig> or so I think
[06:12] <Eppcott> I wonder why an uninstall/reinstall didn't fix that.
[06:12] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: I dont know, I just saw someone mentioning that update manager is fixed but not sure as I used dist-upgrade today
[06:12] <Greatmetal> i use java mostly for development
[06:12] <lordhelmet> Don_jr: np good luck to you
[06:12] <bruenig> Greatmetal, it can still be done. I can send you all the plugins if you want. You will just have to install them in the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory
[06:12] <sc0ri0n> it should install if you use apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:13] <bruenig> as that is where swiftfox will look if there is no other firefox
[06:13] <cdg52> sc0ri0n: ive never used dist-upgrade so hmm
[06:13] <Greatmetal> i did that with flash
[06:13] <Eppcott> I typed "ls /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins". The output was: libjavaplugin.so  libvlcplugin.so
[06:13] <cdg52> sc0ri0n: o its upgrading ^_^
[06:13] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: same thing really....first, sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:13] <Greatmetal> bruenig:i did that with the flash plugin
[06:14] <Greatmetal> still does not work
[06:14] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: you could also use apt-get update but that is not smart enough like dist-upgrade
[06:14] <cdg52> sc0ri0n: ah well atleast this worked
[06:14] <sc0ri0n> :D
[06:14] <cdg52> sc0ri0n: bugging me to death that orange icon in the tray
[06:14] <internat> ok, so i have an awsome problem with any video. as soon as i play a movie or try to access my dvb device and xine kicks in, x crashes
[06:14] <bruenig> Greatmetal, no? well I actually just added a symbolic link in .mozilla, and that enabled all the plugins. Maybe a real directory won't work there. Seems like it should though
[06:15] <AWOSDev> kato -- you still there?
[06:15] <DamianFinol> Hi guys
[06:15] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: I know... I posted this to Ubuntu Users forum twice but did not really see anyone replying
[06:15] <kaot> AWOSDev: yep
[06:15] <AWOSDev> kaot: http://www.geocities.com/awosdev/Network.png
[06:15] <administrator> hi __mikem
[06:15] <Greatmetal> its okay i will just live with out it
[06:15] <AWOSDev> kaot: I drew a diagram in the GIMP :)
[06:15] <kaot> haha nice
[06:15] <DamianFinol> I have a question, I have a windows machine on a LAN, I have samba installed and evyerthing needed, I  even installed SWAT, when I type sudo smbtree I can see the machine and the shared folder. How do I mount said folder to a local folder?
[06:16] <AWOSDev> DamianFinol: smbprogs I believe
[06:16] <AWOSDev> !info smbprogs
[06:16] <ubotu> Package smbprogs does not exist in dapper
[06:16] <bruenig> eppcott, well I am not certain how to fix your problem, do this just to make sure you were in the right directory when I had you do the other command "ls /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox | grep firefx" tell me the output
[06:16] <AWOSDev> !info smbutils
[06:16] <ubotu> Package smbutils does not exist in dapper
[06:16] <jshriver> hi again
[06:16] <kaot> AWOSDev: do you have <IP_ADDRESS>/24 on the linux router and <IP_ADDRESS>/24 on the wireless or something?
[06:16] <cdg52> sc0ri0n: actualy im stil getting errors
[06:16] <DamianFinol> I have every single samba package, how do I tell samba now to mount it?
[06:16] <cdg52> sc0ri0n: let me try to read them over
[06:16] <AWOSDev> No, kaot, here's how it is
[06:16] <sc0ri0n> about compiz?
[06:16] <DanaG> !swiftfox
[06:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about swiftfox - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:17] <bruenig> eppcott, sorry typo do "ls /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox | grep firefox"
[06:17] <AWOSDev> kaot Linux router = <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:17] <agnes> hey all!
[06:17] <sc0ri0n> I got some errors today
[06:17] <AWOSDev> kaot Wireless router = <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:17] <jshriver> my user xinit seems messed up.. when I run startx from root and do ps aux | more I see after I run startx I get xinit and a ton of gnome stuff running. But when I do the same from a user side.. it only loads X no gnome
[06:17] <bruenig> Danag, what do you want to know about swiftfox
[06:17] <jshriver> think that's why gdm is bonking out and not loading gnome2
[06:17] <AWOSDev> kaot Wireless router set up for static IP config
[06:17] <DanaG> What is it?
[06:17] <AWOSDev> kaot Wireless router gateway = <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:17] <Eppcott> bruenig: it just repeats the prompt.
[06:17] <AWOSDev> kaot complicated but works :)
[06:17] <sc0ri0n> I had to use something like sudo apt-get install -f compiz-gnome compiz-core compiz-plugins
[06:17] <Eppcott> oh, I missed your typo
[06:17] <kdaniel> How do i change the default size of the icons on my desktop..?
[06:17] <bruenig> yeah typo
[06:17] <agnes> I'm having an interesting problem with two of my laptops here.. they both will standby and wake up perfectly, but both (an N600c and a nc6230 from compaq/hp) will no longer play sound except through the headphone jack.
[06:17] <jshriver> can someone help me?
[06:17] <agnes> what gives?
[06:17] <kaot> AWOSDev: buh.  You pull those ips outta yer backside or do you have one of those cool isps?
[06:17] <kdaniel> i think they're too big
[06:17] <Eppcott> but it still just repeats the prompt.
[06:18] <DamianFinol> Was SMBMOUNT replaced with something else?
[06:18] <AWOSDev> kaot: Actually that IP is from way back
[06:18] <jshriver> there should be a way to have gdm/gnome/X all go back to default..
[06:18] <AWOSDev> kaot: When I used NT 4
[06:18] <bruenig> DanaG, it is an optimized firefox build. It optimized for each specific processor and therefore runs faster
[06:18] <kaot> AWOSDev: at any rate I just wanted to verify there wouldn't be a problem there
[06:18] <kaot> AWOSDev: ahhh
[06:18] <kdaniel> How do i change the default size of the icons on my desktop..?
[06:18] <AWOSDev> kaot: The IP addy stuck through all these years :)
[06:18] <bruenig> works miracles on amd chips but intels I doubt will see much change although perhaps a little
[06:18] <DanaG> Will it leave my plugins intact
[06:18] <octan> morning all
[06:18] <AWOSDev> DamianFinol
[06:18] <AWOSDev> !info smbfs
[06:18] <kaot> AWOSDev: so eth0 has a 131.whatever ip on the laptop?
[06:18] <jshriver> 'morning octan
[06:18] <ubotu> smbfs: mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than 2.2.x). In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.22-1ubuntu3.1 (dapper), package size 369 kB, installed size 888 kB
[06:18] <octan> do other have the same issue with synaptic? it just wount start after a update
[06:18] <bruenig> DanaG, yeah it won't affect firefox at all. You can have both.
[06:19] <octan> synaptic: error while loading shared libraries: libvte.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[06:19] <AWOSDev> kaot: Yes, it's <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:19] <cdg52> sc0ri0n: all better had to run apt-get upgrade and apt-get -f install about 3 times, each time one issue was fixed and one made another issue but now its better
[06:19] <kaot> AWOSDev: gotcha.  You didn't setup iptables or anything on the laptop did you?
[06:19] <agnes> it looks like people are talking about the bug: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/21574
[06:19] <AWOSDev> kaot: that one stuck since we used Windows 2000 :)
[06:19] <bruenig> it uses the same configuration directory .mozilla, so all of your settings and plugins and bookmarks and such will be loaded into automatix
[06:19] <AWOSDev> kaot: No
[06:19] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: yeah, I had to do the same
[06:19] <agnes> does that mean that it can only be solved in the kernel upstream?
[06:19] <bruenig> swiftfox*
[06:19] <bruenig> not automatix
[06:19] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: but that was only today, I never had any issues before
[06:20] <dijungal> How do i change the default size of the icons on my desktop..?
[06:20] <bruenig> eppcott, do ls /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/, I am just curious as to what all is in that directory
[06:20] <kaot> GAH this game is giving me fits.
[06:20] <cdg52> sc0ri0n: same here, ive never run into something like this, so i had no idea what to do
[06:20] <AWOSDev> kaot: iptables is on the Linux Router, and I got a "perfect" rating from GRC ShieldsUP!  :)
[06:20] <kaot> AWOSDev: ok, but you can't ping the router...   sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart
[06:20] <Eppcott> components  plugins
[06:21] <bruenig> yeah, I have 30 other subdirectories and files and such in mine,
[06:21] <bruenig> when I do the same command
[06:21] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: well, I take it as a challange...troubleshooting help me understand :)
[06:21] <kaot> s/router/access point/
[06:21] <kaot> (confusing myself.)
[06:21] <AWOSDev> kaot: correct
[06:21] <bruenig> eppcott, do cd /usr/lib/firefox, maybe for some reason the stuff is in there
[06:21] <bruenig> once there to ls
[06:21] <cdg52> sc0ri0n: haha ya theres true, but atleast it was fixed
[06:21] <AWOSDev> kaot: It came up really freaky stuff but it restarted
[06:21] <kaot> AWOSDev: really freaky stuff like what?
[06:21] <sc0ri0n> cdg52: getting late..I'm happy that it's ok for you
[06:21] <sc0ri0n> g'night all
[06:22] <AWOSDev> kaot: could not bind to eth2
[06:22] <AWOSDev> kaot: could not bind to ath0
[06:22] <AWOSDev> kaot: could not bind to wlan0
[06:22] <DanaG> Is it possible to rename eth1 to wlan0, or is there no point?
[06:22] <AWOSDev> kaot: And a whole slew of other messages based on those

[06:22] <DanaG> way too big paste.
[06:22] <interstellar_ove> my computer came with an integrated graphics card and later i added an nvidia pci graphics card
[06:22] <Eppcott> sorry
[06:22] <AWOSDev> Eppcott, meat
[06:22] <kaot> AWOSDev: wonder what's in your /etc/networking/interfaces...  ok, check to see if you've got an ip on both eth0 and eth1, and then see what's in route -n again
[06:22] <AWOSDev> *meet
[06:22] <bruenig> Eppcott, ok, do ./firefox
[06:23] <DanaG> i limit my pastes to 3 lines, and then don't talk for a few moments after that.
[06:23] <AWOSDev> !pastebin
[06:23] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[06:23] <Eppcott> meet?
[06:23] <DanaG> Or maybe 4.
[06:23] <AWOSDev> Yes, meet pastebin
[06:23] <Eppcott> OK, thank you
[06:23] <kaot> lol
[06:23] <AWOSDev> kaot: okay
[06:23] <interstellar_ove> can someone take a look at my xorg.conf file and see if they can help?
[06:23] <Paradoxx> how can i get the sound output and mircrophone output on my laptop to work?
[06:23] <bruenig> AWOSDev, would have been more effective if you could have typed it a bit faster
[06:23] <interstellar_ove> http://greendoom.googlepages.com/xorg.conf
[06:23] <nalioth> Eppcott: please don't paste in here.  This is in the /topic
[06:24] <bruenig> Eppcott, what did ./firefox do?
[06:24] <AWOSDev> bruenig: yeah
[06:24] <Eppcott> OK nalioth, I won't
[06:24] <starz> how do i gain full access to my files
[06:24] <AWOSDev> starz, sudo
[06:24] <AWOSDev> kaot, it looks good
[06:24] <DanaG> Okay, my main issue now is that my onboard sound card often doesn't work.
[06:24] <Eppcott> bruenig, it's going through Google Browser Sync, which is way more than it ever did
[06:24] <AWOSDev> kaot: It says "<IP_ADDRESS>    <IP_ADDRESS>   eth0"
[06:24] <DanaG> It gives me an extraneous SPDIF slider.
[06:24] <bruenig> starz, if you want full access graphically, do gksudo nautilus
[06:24] <bruenig> but make sure you  know what you are doing
[06:24] <AWOSDev> kaot: and  "<IP_ADDRESS>    <IP_ADDRESS>   eth1"
[06:25] <dijungal> ok noone taking me seriously
[06:25] <Eppcott> perhaps I just have to redirect my links to it through Gnome applications menu
[06:25] <dijungal> How do i change the default size of the icons on my desktop..? i think they're too big
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> dijungal,  we care... honest we do....
[06:25] <jshriver> hrm noone in #debian wants to help either they keep refering here.
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> :)
[06:25] <kaot> AWOSDev: we're looking for the bottom two lines, that should probably say "UG" under the "Flags" section
[06:25] <dijungal> lol
[06:25] <interstellar_ove> hello i need help configuring dual monitors - http://greendoom.googlepages.com/xorg.conf - my config file
[06:25] <kaot> are there two there?
[06:25] <AWOSDev> kaot: yes
[06:25] <AWOSDev> Thats the
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> jshriver,    we care... honest we do....
[06:25] <interstellar_ove> i can't seem to figure out why it won't work
[06:25] <AWOSDev> kaot: It says "<IP_ADDRESS>    <IP_ADDRESS>   eth0"
[06:25] <AWOSDev> kaot: and  "<IP_ADDRESS>    <IP_ADDRESS>   eth1"
[06:25] <bruenig> Eppcott, since your stuff is already kind of messed up. I have an idea that might work but it is untested and I can't be sure it would work
[06:25] <Madpilot> jshriver, asking for Ubuntu help in #debian is asking to get flamed, IME
[06:25] <jshriver> why would gdm or startx not run xinit in user space.. but will in root?
[06:25] <kaot> AWOSDev: can you ping the access point now?
[06:25] <AWOSDev> no
[06:25] <Eppcott> OK?
[06:25] <DanaG> Is there a way to force-reload a module?
[06:26] <jshriver> startx under root works fine, but startx or gdm wont load my user desktop..
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> jshriver,  normally gdm/kdm is ran as a service, and thus is ran as root.   as a user you type 'startx' and what happens?
[06:26] <kaot> I'm missing something stupid here, I just know it.
[06:26] <kaot> something that I do without even thinking...
[06:26] <tty_basher> interstellar_ove:: is it a problem primarily with the nvidia card?
[06:26] <jshriver> Dr_Willis it startx plan X, no gnome /xinit etc..
[06:26] <billybennett> Anyone here familar with Automatix Bleeder?
[06:26] <jshriver> but when I try startx from root.. everything loads fine
[06:26] <kaot> which makes it hard to think of what it is.
[06:26] <DanaG> Oh, is there a way to pass a parameter to the kernel to prevent GDM from starting?
[06:26] <AWOSDev> kaot: Yep I've had the same problem
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> jshriver,  edit/make a .xinitrc in your users home dir.. put in it the command 'gnome-session' and try 'startx' again
[06:27] <jshriver> I verified this by doing ps aux | tail to see what diff programs are loaded after startx
[06:27] <DanaG> On SuSE I could go 3, but Ubuntu starts GDM on 3.
[06:27] <bruenig> Eppcott, ok let me think of the best most recoverable way of doing this.
[06:27] <AWOSDev> DanaG, I believe that's chkconfig gdm off
[06:27] <dijungal> i can't beleive there's no way to change the size of the icons on the desktop
[06:27] <bruenig> Eppcott, first do cd /usr/lib
[06:27] <jshriver> ok thanks brb
[06:27] <DanaG> aah, I'll have to write that down.
[06:27] <interstellar_ove> tty_basher: no it works fine - as did the intel card before i installed the nvidia one
[06:27] <AWOSDev> dijungal, I know -- the size is insane
[06:27] <tty_basher> interstellar_ove:: whats the specific problem then?
[06:28] <jshriver> nothing
[06:28] <dijungal> some big icons... annoying.. my folders looks like kids toys
[06:28] <bruenig> Eppcott, ok now do "sudo mv mozilla-firefox mozilla-firefox.old"
[06:28] <Eppcott> bruenig, terminal still hasn't given me a prompt.
[06:28] <interstellar_ove> tty_basher: i cannot get any video on the second monitor of my configuration - the one on the intel card
[06:28] <bruenig> Eppcott, exit out of it and get to a fresh one
[06:28] <jshriver> just loads X.. tried /etc/init.d/gdm restart and still getting a X screen
[06:28] <Eppcott> OK
[06:28] <tty_basher> interstellar_ove:: ok hang on
[06:28] <interstellar_ove> tty_basher: thanks
[06:28] <jshriver> is gnome-session a program?
[06:28] <bruenig> and do the cd /usr/lib, then the "sudo mv mozilla-firefox mozilla-firefox.old"
[06:29] <kaot> AWOSDev: activity lights on both wireless card and access point when attempting to ping?
[06:29] <mtholdenss> hey what does this mean: nVidia GeForce FX5200 (ok with latest nvidia-glx-1.0-8762 and nvidia-kernel-1.0-8762, dri=yes)
[06:29] <AWOSDev> kaot, no act light on Access Point :P
[06:29] <mtholdenss> thats the grapics card i got but what does those kernels mean and dri? im just preparing before i dual boot and try to do xgl
[06:29] <tty_basher> interstellar_ove:: you wanting them to both look the same? or are you wanting your desktop extended?
[06:29] <AWOSDev> kaot, meaning, there *is* no light on it
[06:29] <interstellar_ove> tty_basher: i want my desktop exteneded
[06:29] <Eppcott> OK, done.
[06:29] <AWOSDev> kaot: but no the light doesn't blink at all
[06:29] <janbanan> In the keyboard options... what does "eliminate dead key's" mean`
[06:30] <AWOSDev> kaot: not even once
[06:30] <janbanan> ?
[06:30] <Paradoxx> How can i get the sound output and microphone port to work on my laptop?
[06:30] <tty_basher> interstellar_ove:: join #linuxsociety
[06:30] <Eppcott> it asked me for my password, I gave it, now it's back to the prompt.
[06:30] <jman8888> sethk, How do i remount the 2nd hd (Im pretty sure your the one who helped me last time)
[06:30] <bruenig> Eppcott, ok now do "ln -s /usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox"
[06:30] <DanaG> Paradoxx: snd_hda_intel?  It seems like there are issues a'plenty with that module.
[06:30] <kaot> AWOSDev: thinking....
[06:30] <DanaG> At least I know _I_ have issues.
[06:30] <interstellar_ove> tty_basher: ok - whould i reinquire there?
[06:30] <kaot> AWOSDev: not well... but thinking...
[06:30] <Paradoxx> DanaG: no, its a nvidia based laptop
[06:30] <AWOSDev> kaot: LOL
[06:31] <DanaG> The SOUND chip.
[06:31] <Paradoxx> DanaG: nvidia + amd
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> janbanan,  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key
[06:31] <Paradoxx> oh um
[06:31] <bruenig> Eppcott, ok now try to open firefox like you normally do. The applications menu or desktop icon or however you usually do it.
[06:31] <DanaG> If it's an HD Audio, it'll be snd-hda-intel -- Intel made the HD Audio standard.
[06:31] <Eppcott> bruenig, it said "ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox' to `/usr/lib/firefox': Permission denied"
[06:31] <varsendaggr> hello    how do i rip and encode a cd to mp3   so that the files are about 5 mb    i am comming up with 30 mb files
[06:32] <bruenig> Eppcott, ok yeah my fault "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox"
[06:32] <AWOSDev> Eppcott, try sudo
[06:32] <janbanan> Dr_Willis: thanks
[06:32] <Paradoxx> DanaG: how di i find out?
[06:32] <Eppcott> oh yes, sudo
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> varsendaggr,  use some better encoding options with whatever audio ripper tool you are using,. You sure its encoding them to mp3?
[06:32] <kaot> AWOSDev: can you do iwconfig, ifconfig, and route, and paste or post the output somewhere?
[06:32] <dijungal> How do i change the default size of the icons on my desktop..? i think they're too big
[06:32] <DanaG> aplay -l
[06:33] <Eppcott> OK, the Gnome taskbar and applications menu buttons that go to Firefox are now working!
[06:33] <AWOSDev> kaot: I can try :)
[06:33] <jman8888> How can i remount Hdb to /hd2 ?
[06:33] <DanaG> (that's an L, not an I)
[06:33] <kaot> thanks
[06:33] <Eppcott> Thank you so much!
[06:33] <bruenig> Eppcott, ok a little surprised it worked to be honest but good to see it did
[06:33] <agnes> Has anybody run across a problem where sound does not come back after a suspend/resume on a laptop except by headphones?
[06:33] <jshriver> sorry had a hard lockup with X.. ick.. had to reboot even
[06:33] <varsendaggr> Dr_Willis, i am using sound juicer and i also have grip installed   i installed --- from source lame   and it seems that i just don't know what kind of options to pass thorugh it are
[06:34] <x81> what's a fluxbox for?
[06:34] <varsendaggr> x81, boogaa
[06:34] <Paradoxx> DanaG: kk, it is
[06:34] <Dr_Willis> varsendaggr,   lower the bitrate perhaps for a start
[06:34] <Eppcott> so lemme make sure I understand, all the files are still in "firefox" but now the links that point to "mozilla-firefox" go there and get re-pointed to "firefox"?
[06:34] <Healot> for pooping silly :)
[06:34] <Paradoxx> so, its a far reaching proble,m?
[06:34] <varsendaggr> hmmm
[06:34] <x81> really now
[06:34] <varsendaggr> ok
[06:34] <x81> what a fluxbox?
[06:34] <HaroldJohnson> Anyone able to install on an OldWorld Mac lately?
[06:34] <jshriver> Dr_Willis I can still run startx from root and everything loads fine.. why would only user accounts be effected or how can I fix this?
[06:34] <x81> and what's it for?
[06:34] <bruenig> Eppcott, yeah firefox looks for mozilla-firefox and that points to firefox which has everything
[06:34] <jshriver> or how can I tell gdm/etc to run defaults
[06:35] <AWOSDev> Where the *HECK* is the floppy drive mounted too?
[06:35] <varsendaggr> x81, it is a windows manager
[06:35] <jshriver> AWOSDev /media/floppy I believe, haven't used one in years
[06:35] <x81> like nautilus?
[06:35] <DanaG> Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with my hda-intel also.
[06:35] <varsendaggr> like gnome
[06:35] <bruenig> Eppcott, it should even be able to do pretty much anything you want like adding extensions or plugins because that is a system wide link so when you add plugins it will go to mozilla-firefox and then install them in firefox
[06:35] <DanaG> I get an extra spdif slider that shouldn't be there.
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> jshriver,  sounds like some sort of permission issue.
[06:35] <Paradoxx> DanaG: i c. Do you have any problem with graphics as well?
[06:35] <Eppcott> how about updates though?
[06:35] <x81> like gnome and kde? u mean like a desktop environment?
[06:35] <DanaG> If you know what the codec is, you can google for it.
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> jshriver,  if a user with a valid .xinitrc aint even working with startx. youy shoudl be getting some sort of error message
[06:36] <Eppcott> will apt-get and Synaptic and so forth also use the symbolic link?
[06:36] <DanaG> In my case I looked for:  snd-hda-intel sigmatel
[06:36] <jshriver> Dr_Willis any ideas how to remedy it..
[06:36] <Healot> x81: : you're on track
[06:36] <jman8888> Can somebody help me remount a HD?
[06:36] <x81> is it good?
[06:36] <DanaG> I don't have graphical issues, though
[06:36] <jshriver> hrm let me try something
[06:36] <Healot> define: "good"
[06:36] <varsendaggr> x81,  i like it
[06:36] <bruenig> eppcott, in theory it should work, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point it breaks. Updating to edgy or something might be bothersome. apt-get and the like should use it I think. Again I have never done this but it just seemed to me like it should work
[06:36] <x81> something ppl would like
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> jshriver,  when you run startx  - you SHOULD be getting some sort of error messages.. thats the starting point.
[06:37] <Flannel> jman8888: what do you need help with?
[06:37] <bruenig> so long as you don't uninstall firefox or do something like that. You should be fine
[06:37] <internat> can anyone think of why playing any video of any kind could cause x to die completely and restart?
[06:37] <Eppcott> OK. Thanks again, and have a good night
[06:37] <jshriver> Dr_Willis trying now
[06:37] <jman8888> Flannel, I had it working earlier. I need to mount Hdb preferably to /hd2 (but i can mount it anywhere)
[06:37] <jshriver> User not authorize to run X server
[06:38] <Flannel> jman8888: hdb is a drive, which partition do you want to mount?
[06:38] <jshriver> xinit: connection refused
[06:38] <OsirisX11> hello
[06:38] <OsirisX11> is there any way i could control amaroK, a KDE media player, using a gnome panel?
[06:38] <jman8888> Flannel, Its one big drive.
[06:39] <jshriver> Dr_Willis hrm seems the user isn't allowed to run X.. that's why xinit is crapping out..
[06:39] <Flannel> jman8888: so, hdb1
[06:39] <OsirisX11> does a panel exist or anyone have ideas?
[06:39] <Flannel> jman8888: drive != partition
[06:39] <jman8888> Flannel, No extra partitions
[06:39] <jman8888> ?
[06:39] <ltR> how do i change my resolution to 1440x900
[06:39] <bruenig> OsirisX11, sure all you have to do is write one
[06:39] <bruenig> by one I mean an applet
[06:40] <OsirisX11> pretend i'm not a programmer.
[06:40] <mrtn> hey
[06:40] <bruenig> no idea actually
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> jshriver,  id check the ubuntu wiki/forums search for that error. and see what they say. NO idea how you may of messed that up.
[06:40] <jshriver> ick
[06:40] <jshriver> think I might have fs corruption or something
[06:40] <jshriver> found a file in one of my ~/ directories..
[06:40] <jman8888> Flannel, ?
[06:40] <jshriver> was a file, but seems to be a 1TB or bigger file.. wtf..
[06:41] <jshriver> and a diectory now lol
[06:41] <mrtn> anyone got any idea why it is that 6.06 goes straight back to loginscreen after i successfully log in? i'm new to linux/ubuntu
[06:41] <jshriver> how can I run mkfs.ext2 on /?
[06:41] <bruenig> ItR, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, accept all defaults when it gets to screen resolutions. Scroll down to the desired resolution and hit space to select it then continue selecting defaults until it is over. You should then be able to change resolutions in system>preferences>screen resolution
[06:41] <mrtn> didn't change the configuration or anything
[06:42] <mrtn> only thing is that the diskspace on / was low
[06:42] <mrtn> would that matter?
[06:42] <x81> varsendaggr: i jst installed fluxbox. how do i run it now?
[06:42] <robert_> blah
[06:42] <mtholdenss> when edgy gets released would i have to re-download the iso? or update?

[06:42] <ltR> hey guys, i have a widescreen monitor.. how do i enable 1440x900 /
[06:43] <robert_> fusermount: mount failed: Operation not permitted
[06:43] <bruenig> ItR, read my previous post
[06:43] <ltR> link?
[06:43] <janbanan> I'm using a couple of gdesklets and I've arranged them at the top of the desktop. the thing is that when i log off and on again they do not appear as I arranged them. Maby it's because I'm using xgl?
[06:43] <bruenig> mtholdeness, you should be able to update through apt-get
[06:43] <DanaG> XGL screws with position memory -- things all move back to one cube side.

[06:43] <jman8888> Have you ever noticed that if you have a error in ubuntu you can just copy and paste the error in google and put ubuntu at the end.
[06:44] <bruenig> jman8888, you can do that with almost anything I have found.
[06:44] <kellen> hey, does anybody here have a Lenovo laptop with a fingerprint scanner?
[06:44] <jman8888> I always get my problems fixed that way. Or come here or ubuntuforums
[06:44] <bruenig> i had an error when I tried to compile some obscure flash game, it had an error that I couldn't figure out how to fix. Pasted it and there it was, the right dependency and everything
[06:45] <x81> how do i start fluxbox?

[06:47] <kellen> does anybody here have a fingerprint reader working in ubuntu?
[06:47] <AWOSDev> kaot: http://www.geocities.com/AWOSDev/ifconfig.log
[06:47] <administrator> kellen: i want to know that as well
[06:47] <tritium> kellen: no, but aparently there is a driver for the thinkpad one
[06:47] <jman8888> Name (Hdb) Where (/hd2)
[06:47] <administrator> kellen: i have biometrics built into my Thinkpad T42
[06:47] <DanaG> You need to move a comma.
[06:47] <administrator> tritium: really?
[06:47] <tritium> administrator: yes
[06:48] <administrator> tritium: that is great
[06:48] <DanaG>  ItR, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, accept all defaults until it gets to screen resolutions. Scroll down to the desired resolution and hit space to select it then continue selecting defaults until it is over. You should then be able to change resolutions in system>preferences>screen resolution
[06:48] <kellen> yeah, I'm having a hell of a time
[06:48] <tonyyarusso> administrator: Probably mentions it on the ThinkWiki.
[06:48] <bruenig> jman8888, the format would be "sudo mount -t ext3 /hardrive/whatever /mountpoint/whatever"
[06:48] <DanaG> I have a TPM chip. but it doesn't work.
[06:48] <bruenig> jman8888, that is assuming it is ext3
[06:48] <x81> oh ok
[06:49] <kaot> AWOSDev: I'm noticing the tx and rx bytes on eth1, indicating that there's at least some traffic coming back to it
[06:49] <kapace> plz help with driver
[06:49] <kellen> do you know how I would go about finding what the manufacturer is of my fingerpring scanner?
[06:50] <ebaad> Hi, I seem to have issues with connecting to my ubuntu machine vie telnet from a windows machine, can somebody please help.
[06:50] <kapace> use smb
[06:50] <AWOSDev> kaot: yep
[06:50] <kapace> plz help with driver
[06:50] <zenit> ebaad: why telnet? Just use ssh.
[06:51] <ebaad> yes people have told me that but for ssh you have to have a client software
[06:51] <zenit> ebaad: putty is good
[06:51] <ebaad> but telnet does not need any
[06:51] <kapace> smb??
[06:51] <kaot> AWOSDev: you sanitize the key out of there?  Just wondering why it isn't in there, I don't need to see it obviously
[06:51] <ebaad> yes I have putty and it works good
[06:51] <DanaG> kellen: try lspci
[06:51] <BNOsaosin> hey, im a new user here having a bit of trouble....the forums are producing no help. if you have a minute to chat let me know
[06:51] <AWOSDev> kaot: No I didn't
[06:51] <ebaad> but from places where I dont have putty I need to configure telnet

[06:51] <tonyyarusso> Bonez56: Just ask your question and see.
[06:52] <zenit> ebaad: ok, but you feel alright by sending you usernames and passwords in clear text?
[06:52] <kaot> AWOSDev: perhaps it only shows if you run those as root.
[06:52] <zenit> ebaad: but anyway, what kind of problems do you experience?
[06:52] <varsendaggr> if anyone can help me with grip or sound juicer
[06:52] <kaot> AWOSDev: either way, you've got traffic flying around so that part must be working
[06:52] <Timmy|GDS> whats the command to get RAM info?
[06:52] <BNOsaosin> i am having trouble getting my broadcom WMP54g to work on the internet
[06:52] <ebaad> it says that connection refused on port 23
[06:52] <BNOsaosin> the drivers need to use ndiswrapper i assume
[06:52] <ebaad> i have port 23 open
[06:53] <ebaad> infact the linux machine is in DMZ
[06:53] <zenit> ebaad: oki, and you installed telnetd?
[06:53] <tritium> administrator: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader
[06:53] <BNOsaosin> dont know where to go from there :(
[06:53] <jman8888> How can i make the hdb stay mounted after a restart?
[06:53] <ebaad> yes i have it installed through the synaptic package
[06:53] <tritium> kellen: see URL above
[06:53] <administrator> tritium: thank you
[06:53] <thedude45> Timmy|GDS, cat /proc/meminfo

[06:54] <Timmy|GDS> thnz
[06:54] <tritium> administrator: sure
[06:54] <ebaad> let me try
[06:54] <ebaad> I tried just telnet command and it opened a session and gave me telnet> prompt
[06:54] <tonyyarusso> !broadcom > BNOsaosin
[06:54] <thedude45> so, ive got my laptop setup as a gateway, with wired going to internet, and wireless going to private net, from client machines with linux box as gateway, i can ping external ip addresses, and ssh to remote machines, but http doesnt work, any ideas?
[06:54] <mrtn> anyone got any idea why it is that 6.06 goes straight back to loginscreen after i successfully log in? i'm new to linux/ubuntu
[06:55] <knurg> my "alt-gr"-key does not work! running ubuntu/compiz
[06:55] <kaot> AWOSDev: I'm about two seconds from just asking you to reboot that thing even though it goes against everything I believe in
[06:55] <ebaad> i tried telnet localhost and I got telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[06:56] <zenit> ebaad: and you did that on the linux machine?
[06:56] <starz>  i get the message "You do not have enough permissions to read file:///media/Hard Disks/Toshiba 100GB" how do i gain premission....im a nob, and just swiched today
[06:56] <ebaad> yes
[06:56] <AWOSDev> kaot: I'll reboot
[06:58] <Spy4> hi all
[06:58] <ebaad> please any ideas zenit
[06:58] <zenit> ebaad: it sounds like telnetd isn't running. I would take a look in /etc/inetd.conf to see if telnetd is there, then do a /etc/init.d/inetd restart
[06:58] <varsendaggr> has anyone been able to get grip to work?
[06:58] <Spy4> bash: make: command not found
[06:58] <zenit> ebaad: you can also check if it's listening with 'netstat -tln | grep :23'

[06:59] <BOBSONATOR> Guys, i need some help fast, my top toolbar disappeared?!?
[06:59] <ebaad> my inetd.conf file has these entries telnet          stream  tcp     nowait  telnetd.telnetd /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
[06:59] <BOBSONATOR> how do i put it back!
[06:59] <zenit> ebaad: oki, that looks good
[07:00] <BOBSONATOR> ahhhhhh
[07:00] <AWOSDev> kaot, it's rebooting now
[07:00] <BOBSONATOR> Can someone please help me?
[07:00] <AWOSDev> kaot: do you think we should start a PM so that we're not interrupted by all these people?
[07:00] <BOBSONATOR> my top toolbar is gone...
[07:00] <AWOSDev> BOBSONATOR: you mean the one that has "applications", etc...
[07:01] <kaot> AWOSDev: works for me
[07:01] <BOBSONATOR> yes
[07:01] <AWOSDev> BOBSONATOR: we can't help you if you don't help us
[07:01] <kaot> thedude45: dns settings maybe?
[07:01] <ebaad> netstat command does not give any process
[07:01] <BOBSONATOR> AWOSDev: yes.
[07:01] <AWOSDev> BOBSONATOR: try right-clicking on the bottom one
[07:01] <BOBSONATOR> k
[07:01] <AWOSDev> BOBSONATOR: I believe there's a "show bar" or something in there
[07:01] <thedude45> kaot, i went into teh servers /etc/resolv.conf and snagged the isp dns info out of there and put it on the clients, i think its my iptables
[07:01] <zenit> ebaad: and you also restarted inetd?
[07:02] <ebaad> so i restarted the inetd but it says no such file stat /usr/sbin/inetd
[07:02] <Spy4> i hadn't build-essential package installed X-)
[07:02] <BOBSONATOR> AWOSDev: there is no show panel.
[07:03] <Spy4> but why dapper doesn't install it by default?
[07:03] <BOBSONATOR> AWOSDev: add toolbar?
[07:03] <kaot> thedude45: you've got rules besides the masquerade or snat (whichever you're using)?
[07:03] <AWOSDev> BOBSONATOR: mayb
[07:03] <AWOSDev> *maybe
[07:03] <BOBSONATOR> AWOSDev: but there is a blank toolbar now...
[07:03] <AWOSDev> BOBSONATOR, I'm sorry I don't know that much about GNOME
[07:03] <bimberi> BOBSONATOR: New Panel
[07:03] <AWOSDev> kaot, let's go for the PM now
[07:03] <BOBSONATOR> AWOSDev: AHHH
[07:03] <kaot> AWOSDev: k
[07:03] <zenit> ebaad: seems that you're missing inetd. I guess installing netkit-inetd might help.
[07:04] <ebaad> can get that by apt_get install netkit-inetd
[07:05] <zenit> ebaad: yes. Although I'm not sure if it's needed to run telnetd, but I know that on Debian at least it's started through inetd.
[07:05] <Madpilot> BOBSONATOR, first, change your nick so it's not so loud, thanks. To get your top toolbar back, right-click on the surviving one, choose Add New Panel, then add the stuff back to the new top panel
[07:05] <thedude45> kaot, http://rafb.net/paste/results/2H6Vst60.html here is iptables -L output and my route info
[07:05] <zenit> It could be possible that you can run it standalone too, by just executing /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
[07:05] <imago> AAA, i need your help agian
[07:06] <ebaad> it seems like it is being installed now

[07:18] <killer_demon> isnt there a way to have the graphical update program more stuff? :)
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> phiber_optic,  ive had good luck with that card when i had one.. ages ago. :P
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> I wonder what i did with that card... must be in the pc i gave my mom.
[07:19] <Spy4> libqt3-mt for recompiling kernel?
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> phiber_optic,  got a more specific problem with it?
[07:19] <phiber_optic> Dr_Willis, it was working on the previous version but know it is not detected
[07:19] <phiber_optic> i tried to load the module but it didnt work
[07:19] <phiber_optic> :(
[07:19] <killer_demon> i installed kernel-package but init 3 still doesnt work
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> phiber_optic,  you using the Digital out? or analog out?  ( or does it even hage that)
[07:20] <imago> disantbody: i did what you said and i changed fstab  but that still didn't work
[07:20] <phiber_optic> none :(
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> none? it dont have any outs? :P
[07:20] <Spy4> no help?
[07:20] <phiber_optic> when I load the module ssnd-emu10k1
[07:20] <nrdb> I have an old computer that won't boot from a CD, is there any way I can install xubuntu on it?
[07:20] <phiber_optic> it gives me alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[07:21] <Dr_Willis> phiber_optic,  Hmm..   so if you play a  wav file.. does it actually give an error? or does it just seem to play but makes no sound?
[07:22] <phiber_optic> i cant even move the sound
[07:22] <phiber_optic> controllers
[07:22] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: Download and burn the "Alternate" CD, and from there you can do a text-only-mode install, even with a "Low RAM" option if necessary.
[07:22] <eternaljoy> hi
[07:22] <phiber_optic> No volume control GStreamer pllugins and/or devices found
[07:22] <Spy4> anyone can help me installing packages needed to recompile kernel?

[07:22] <Dr_Willis> phiber_optic,  Hmm..  you dual booting?
[07:22] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: I read that as meaning it couldn't boot the live CD.  If it can't boot from a CD at all, I think there are options, but I'm not as familiar with them.
[07:23] <tonyyarusso> !netboot
[07:23] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[07:23] <phiber_optic> Dr_Willis, yes
[07:23] <distantbody> @ imago nrdb: I think these are pretty common problems, and hence would probably be in the Ubuntu documentation, wiki, forums etc.: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/
[07:23] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: One of those ^^ might have some insight.
[07:23] <PyroManiak> are there any utilities to darken LCD's?
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> phiber_optic,  i recall AGES ago.. i had an odd sound card issue.. If i booted to windows.. then 'soft' rebooted to Linux. the card would not get confogured right.. IF i powerd down and booted straight to Linux it would work.
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> phiber_optic,  some sort of PNP/bios oddity.
[07:23] <nrdb> distantbody: I will look
[07:24] <Spy4> HEY

[07:24] <BNOsaosin> hey im having trouble with the xorg config after following the built in instructions in Ubuntu's help
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> "Timithy Hay!"
[07:24] <Spy4> none helping me
[07:24] <phiber_optic> i tried everything
[07:24] <BNOsaosin> what do i do when it asks what madules should be loaded by default
[07:24] <Spy4> asked 4 times
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> !kernel
[07:24] <DesertEagle7> Dr_Willis thats very odd
[07:24] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> DesertEagle7,  yea - took me forever to notice why it worked some times but not others.
[07:24] <Spy4> thanks
[07:25] <ISOLATEDViRuS> my mozilla firefox wont play sound, but i have the flash plugin installed... what should i do?
[07:25] <imago> distantbody, obiously documentation doesn't help us much if were noobs. hence why there is this chatroom. plus i am using 5.10  not 6.06
[07:25] <nich0s> Stop being such a virus ISOLATEDViRuS. :P

[07:27] <killerdemon> when i used ctrl-alt-f1  i got text mode but the nvidia installer still says i have to exit X server
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> phiber_optic,  odd..   may want to test out some of the other live cd's and see if you can prove its a kernel related (version) issue or not.
[07:27] <BNOsaosin> what do i do when it asks what madules should be loaded by default in xorgconfig
[07:27] <hawkaloogie> killerdemon, in that "text mode", login and do "sudo killall -9 gdm"
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> phiber_optic,  and double check what module a working live cd is using for that card.
[07:27] <phiber_optic> i already installed dapper in my computer
[07:27] <BNOsaosin> type all the numbers in (load them all?)
[07:27] <wolfmanz> Anyone here get easyubuntu to install the ati drivers using a k7 kernal?

[07:38] <CompEngStu> well, i need to connect to a networked printer (not connected to pc, just straight to network) and the only way that I can seem to get it to work in windows is to create a new "tcp/ip port" that points to the IP of the printer
[07:39] <e-type> phiber_optic: do a 'sudo modprobe <module>' where <module>==the kernel module name google told you
[07:39] <e-type> phiber_optic: man modprobe tells you what it is
[07:39] <imago> distantbody, what happens if my pmount.allow is empty
[07:39] <phiber_optic> I did it and no problem

[08:02] <phiber_optic> crimsun, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21622
[08:02] <crimsun> what's much more relevant is lspci -nv  and amixer

[08:02] <imago> anything else distantbody

[08:02] <crimsun> snd is a prerequisite. It HAS to be loaded first.

[08:10] <phiber_optic> crimsun, what do u mean??
[08:10] <crimsun> phiber_optic: ``cat /proc/asound/cards''
[08:10] <phiber_optic> --- no soundcards ---
[08:11] <crimsun> phiber_optic: what are the contents of /proc/interrupts?
[08:11] <crimsun> (pastebin it)
[08:12] <phiber_optic> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21625
[08:12] <e-type> crimsun: heh, /me reads along ;)
[08:12] <imago> oh shit um help     looking at fstab    and it's blank
[08:12] <phiber_optic> irq= interrupts??
[08:12] <phiber_optic> this is what i like bout linux...i
[08:12] <jamin06> all of a sudden my sound stopped working. any reasons known
[08:12] <phiber_optic> im not an expert linux user.. but wants to learn more
[08:13] <crimsun> phiber_optic: you have no resources allocated to your onboard HDA sound controller, so it won't work.
[08:13] <crimsun> phiber_optic: are you running 2.6.15-26.46?
[08:13] <Shadowpillar> anyone know where I can get libdvdcss2 for 64 bit dapper?
[08:13] <jamin06> so, i fix how?
[08:13] <phiber_optic> crimsun, i dont know I just installed dapper...
[08:14] <crimsun> jamin06: that's pretty vague. Use http://pastebin.ca to paste your ``cat /proc/asound/cards && amixer''
[08:14] <jamin06> ok
[08:14] <imago> my fstab is blank um what do i do
[08:14] <crimsun> phiber_optic: dpkg -l linux-image-$(uname -r) |grep ^ii |awk '{ print $3 }'
[08:14] <phiber_optic> crimsun, but my sound card that is installed is soundblaster...
[08:15] <jamin06> http://pastebin.ca/148524
[08:15] <phiber_optic> 2.6.15-26.46
[08:15] <crimsun> phiber_optic: your sound blaster is not recognised at all.
[08:15] <phiber_optic> crimsun,  thats what its weird
[08:15] <damian> is there a way to do an automatic login
[08:15] <crimsun> phiber_optic: good. Now you must disable in bios some devices that you don't use. Try disabling your printer port and the onboard sound device.
[08:15] <phiber_optic> I did
[08:15] <crimsun> phiber_optic: they're already disabled in bios?
[08:15] <irawan> damian: you can use gdm or mingetty
[08:16] <phiber_optic> I disabled on boarrd and I thought it would recognize my soundblaster
[08:16] <phiber_optic> yes
[08:16] <phiber_optic> I went to chipsent onboard and disable everything
[08:16] <crimsun> phiber_optic: it's not at _all_ recognised even in pci space
[08:17] <crimsun> phiber_optic: does it work on the same machine in another OS?
[08:17] <phiber_optic> yes in windows
[08:17] <damian> irawan: gdm
[08:17] <dfgas> do all in wonder ati cards work right in ubuntu?
[08:17] <crimsun> phiber_optic: you definitely have a resource allocation error, then
[08:17] <sn00p> does anybody know where theplugins folder is for firefox is under linux?
[08:17] <crimsun> phiber_optic: try booting with irqpoll
[08:17] <damian> sn00p: /usr/libs/firefox/plugins
[08:18] <phiber_optic> how can i fix that??
[08:18] <phiber_optic> irqpoll?
[08:18] <crimsun> phiber_optic: you probably won't be able to fix it. The best you can do is to hope Linux has a way of working around it.
[08:18] <phiber_optic> crimsun, why does this happen?
[08:18] <sn00p> damian it says no such directory
[08:19] <crimsun> phiber_optic: Linux's ACPI support lags Windows's.
[08:19] <Killeroid> sn00p: damian means /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[08:19] <phiber_optic> crimsun, what is ACPI
[08:19] <crimsun> jamin06: you made a typo. That trailing '' is not a double quotation mark; it's two single quotes.
[08:19] <irawan> damian: try sudo gdmsetup
[08:20] <jamin06> http://pastebin.ca/148530
[08:20] <imago> crimsun, my fstab is blank. but i found the way to fix my floppy problem
[08:20] <Healot> !acpi
[08:20] <ubotu> acpi: displays information on ACPI devices. In component main, is optional. Version 0.09-1 (dapper), package size 10 kB, installed size 72 kB (Only available for i386 ia64 amd64)
[08:21] <phiber_optic> crimsun, so what can i do now?
[08:22] <crimsun> phiber_optic: try booting with irqpoll
[08:22] <phiber_optic> how do i do that?
[08:22] <crimsun> phiber_optic: append it to the kernel command line in grub
[08:22] <billybennett> Anyone know if GimpShop works in Dapper?
[08:23] <phiber_optic> crimsun, the menu.lst?
[08:23] <crimsun> jamin06: so if both 'PCM' and 'Master' are set to %90, sound is still inaudible?
[08:23] <crimsun> phiber_optic: no
[08:24] <ltR> whats the easiest way to install XGL?
[08:24] <crimsun> phiber_optic: reboot, and when you get to the boot menu, press 'e' on the first entry, scroll down (using the down arrow key) to the kernel line, edit it by adding irqpoll to the end, then press enter and 'b' to boot
[08:24] <Quack> Hi

[08:26] <crparr> How can this error be fixed?

[08:29] <BNOsaosin> if anyone has any knowledge of XGL, please help me out :(
[08:29] <crimsun> BNOsaosin: have you asked in #ubuntu-xgl ?
[08:29] <jamin06> crimsun: http://pastebin.ca/148535
[08:30] <BNOsaosin> nope, thanks :)
[08:30] <phiber_optic> crimsun, it didnt do anything
[08:30] <phiber_optic> :(
[08:30] <Samuli^> jamin06, what happens if quit skype?
[08:30] <jamin06> music plays
[08:31] <Quack> Can someone help me out? ive been googling for hours trying to get this "ERROR: Kernel modules did not compile" (for intel 915 dri drivers) fixed
[08:31] <Quack> "
[08:31] <jamin06> ok
[08:31] <crimsun> phiber_optic: it's not generally supposed to "do anything" noticeable. Pastebin your ``dmesg''
[08:31] <jamin06> well thanks
[08:31] <Samuli^> jamin06, download skype_dsp_hijacker and use it to start skype.
[08:31] <jamin06> where do i get it?
[08:31] <jamin06> package man
[08:31] <crimsun> em.
[08:31] <jamin06> or term
[08:31] <crimsun> jamin06: why not use the newest Skype beta that's compatible with alsa?
[08:32] <ivx> can anyone tell me if antivirus is necessary for linux.
[08:32] <jamin06> shoot why not
[08:32] <crimsun> any app that grabs /dev/dsp will hog it, blocking other apps from using it, on your chipset (which doesn't support hardware multiopen).
[08:32] <levander> ivx: i don't have it, but you should probably make sure to regularly install the security updates from ubuntu
[08:32] <phiber_optic> crimsun, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21626
[08:32] <jamin06> i wasnt aware i was using an old version
[08:33] <ivx> levander: so all spyware and stuff like comet cursor will not be a problem
[08:34] <harisund> How do I tell Ubuntu to do a complete fsck on reboot?
[08:34] <levander> ivx: i've never had a problem with it, i know there's some company that has antivirus for linux, but i can't even remember who they are, most people don't run it
[08:34] <hush> yay everybody I FIXED MY LINUX :)
[08:34] <jamin06> ok well thanks alot
[08:34] <jamin06> im out
[08:34] <nich0s> hush, you rock!
[08:34] <harisund> Good for you hush
[08:34] <hush> feels good to be back
[08:34] <ivx> levander thank you.
[08:34] <crimsun> phiber_optic: well your onboard isn't going to work at all unless you enable it in bios:  hda-intel: no codecs found!
[08:35] <levander> harisund: either boot into single user mode an run fsck, or boot off a LiveCD and fsck the hard drive you want to is what i usually do
[08:35] <phiber_optic> what about my soundblaster??
[08:35] <harisund> levander if I boot into single user mount, won't the disks get mounted? Or do you intend me to unmount it?
[08:36] <BHSPitLappy> got a problem, I just installed Ubuntu on a PC, but GRUB didn
[08:36] <phiber_optic> I dont want the onboard sound card...
[08:36] <BHSPitLappy> didn't get installed.
[08:36] <hush> I've onl;y been messing around on Linux Ubuntu for about 4 or 5 days - and the XORG error thing messed up my last installation so I reinstalled tonight and just got it back on and updated
[08:36] <BHSPitLappy> I'm booted to the livecd again, is there anything I can do?
[08:36] <levander> harisund: i'm not sure, just type 'mount' without any arguments to see what gets mounted, the root (and if you have a boot) partitions will get mounted, if you want to fsck those, boot off a livecd
[08:36] <dfgas> how do i install a .deb package?
[08:36] <harisund> levander yeah .. looks I have no other option then .. ok will do with a live CD itself. Thanks :)
[08:37] <harisund> dfgas typically you should be able to double click on it and the Gdebi will walk you through its installation
[08:37] <BHSPitLappy> dfgas, double-click on it?
[08:37] <lightstar> dfgas, sudo dpkg -i <pkgname>
[08:37] <dfgas> k
[08:37] <dfgas> ty
[08:38] <phiber_optic> crimsun, ??
[08:38] <Cine> greetings all
[08:38] <crimsun> phiber_optic: your sound blaster isn't detected at all
[08:39] <phiber_optic> crimsun,  yeahh i know what can I do so it gets detected...
[08:39] <crimsun> phiber_optic: if you don't want onboard, fine. Try pci=routeirq, but be aware that if it's not even detected in pci space, it won't work. At all.
[08:39] <gnux123> How can I configure nautilus for tab browsing?
[08:40] <phiber_optic> crimsun,  do u know why it couldnt be detected??
[08:41] <Cine> I recently instlaled a new ATI graphics card which works fine in windows, but of course doesn't work under ubuntu and I can't get the GUI up, anyone point me to instructions on how to set it up from the command prompt?
[08:41] <crimsun> phiber_optic: I can only guess, because your precise hardware isn't sitting right in front of me to poke at
[08:41] <nalpha> asking... how to restart apache server on my ubuntu?
[08:41] <phiber_optic> crimsun, loll
[08:41] <lightstar> nalioth, sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart
[08:42] <nalpha> thanx
[08:42] <lightstar> np
[08:42] <byen> Guys, i really need some help.. my system keeps locking up and i have to reboot... anyway i can find out? i had my system lock up 4 times in 24 hours
[08:42] <TBNolan> i can navigate to a windows share using the gui, but where would the path be for that same windows share?
[08:43] <lightstar> byen, you can try to tail your system logs in  /var/log.. see whats causing it
[08:46] <byen> lightstar, i see something like Aug 24 22:28:33 localhost -- MARK --
[08:46] <byen> many times
[08:46] <byen> what does that mean?
[08:48] <lightstar> byen, hang on
[08:49] <lightstar> byen, run this command gnome-system-log
[08:50] <lightstar> byen, then check the log to see any error around the time your pc hung
[08:50] <byen> lightstar, its empty
[08:51] <lightstar> byen, you need to open the lg files using it:)
[08:51] <byen> ok.. i loaded system log
[08:52] <lightstar> byen, try opening syslog..it'd b more helpful
[08:52] <justin_> How come Flux is slower then KDE?
[08:52] <justin_> Am I the only one experiencing this or what?
[08:53] <byen> lightstar, im lost... the last thing i reinstalled was the latest update
[08:53] <lightstar> byen, that's strange..what update did you install?
[08:53] <byen> the latest xserver
[08:54] <byen> the updated one
[08:54] <byen> and the murrine engine lightstar
[08:54] <byen> could be the engine
[08:55] <lightstar> byen, not too sure...the syslog will be helpful in trying to figure out the cause..you just have to go through the log
[08:55] <internat> how does one set up the default kernel in grub
[08:56] <lightstar> internat, edit /boot/grub/menu.1st and change the line that says "default" to the new number
[08:56] <e-type> internat: with the "default N" line, see '$ info grub'
[09:00] <hush> hey guys whats the channel for chatting i forget - sorry
[09:00] <wookienz> hi, looking for some help with a broadcom bcm43xx driver and wpcmcia ireless card
[09:00] <hush> ubuntu offtopic?
[09:00] <lightstar> hush, #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:00] <hush> lightstar: thanks man!
[09:01] <lightstar> hush, np;)
[09:01] <hush> <---noob.
[09:01] <hush> 5days old
[09:01] <wookienz> what cant we talk about in here versus off topic?
[09:01] <hush> this channel is for ubuntu support
[09:01] <wookienz> cool, what i need then
[09:01] <hush> offtopic is for chat
[09:02] <hush> i know cuz i got in trouble for talking in here the other night
[09:02] <hush> :)
[09:04] <internat> ok as a stupid question im compiling my own kernel, how do i get the fglrx modules to compile with it?
[09:04] <wookienz> fair enough. anyone able to help with a broadcom driver ssue?
[09:04] <internat> ive downloaded fglrx-kernel-source and unpacked it but im unsure where to go from there
[09:05] <s-ndh-c> i guess it can be installed using module-assistant like the nvidia driver too
[09:05] <s-ndh-c> but not sure
[09:06] <s-ndh-c> maybe there are prebuild packages for the standard ubuntu kernels in the repo
[09:06] <Flannel> s-ndh-c: there are, search for linux-image
[09:06] <Bonez56_>  hi all, i am building a PC for a family with kids aged 5 and
[09:06] <Bonez56_>                   11, and they want MS windows + *buntu. In your opinion, would
[09:06] <Bonez56_>                   I be better off going with Ubuntu or Edubuntu?
[09:07] <Flannel> Bonez56_: You could always have both installed, they can coexist
[09:07] <internat> yeah actually i think it can be
[09:08] <Bonez56__> any suggestions to my edubuntu or ubuntu question?
[09:09] <BHSPitLappy> !grub
[09:09] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:09] <Bonez56__> moo
[09:10] <NickGarvey> Bonez56_: I think edubuntu would have good applications already installed, so I would suggest that
[09:10] <octan> supergrub
[09:10] <Flannel> Bonez56__: You could always have both installed, they can coexist
[09:11] <lightstar> Bonez56, they're the same base..just that different applications are by default packaged with diff distribution
[09:11] <Bonez56__> Flannel: yeah I know - but too much maintainence for me. How different is Edubuntu from Ubuntu?
[09:11] <Flannel> Bonez56__: maintainance?  Just install them both, what additional maintainance is there?
[09:12] <NickGarvey> Flannel: wasted disk space I'd think
[09:12] <Bonez56__> Flannel: they are typical average joe users, when it breaks, guess who they call?
[09:13] <NickGarvey> Bonez56_: actually, after thinking it over, I would install ubuntu, and go to the edubuntu webpage and download the applications it shows
[09:13] <Bonez56__> NickGarvey: yeah thanks for the idea, i think i'll do that for sure
[09:13] <NickGarvey> Bonez56_: because edubuntu allows you too boot thin clients and other nice things.. but you don't need them
[09:13] <Bonez56__> yeah that is true
[09:13] <Crazed> Is there a tool to control the bandwidth of a application?
[09:13] <Bonez56__> Ubuntu will be fine, i'll just add on as much educational type games and apps that i can find
[09:14] <Bonez56__> thanks anyway flannel, your idea is good but these people really have no clue about computers... for some reason they asked for ubuntu
[09:14] <cafuego> wookienz: Tell us about your issue.
[09:15] <Crazed> Is there a tool to control the bandwidth of a application?
[09:15] <octan> nop
[09:15] <octan> but you can use tc
[09:15] <Crazed> tc?
[09:15] <wookienz> cafuego, i recognise your names from the bits i have read! hopefully you can help. i cant get the card to work with the bcm43xx driver. i have a linksys wpc54g pcmcia card. ndis is no worries, its working now, but not the broad om dirver. i wan tto run kismet, connect ot the net, air crack etc.
[09:16] <octan> yes. but it just controlls the entire bandwidth
[09:16] <Crazed> lol
[09:16] <Crazed> thats crap
[09:16] <octan> :P
[09:16] <Crazed> dont need that :)
[09:16] <cafuego> wookienz: Neihter driver supports kismet; or monitor mode. You should be able to connect to networks though.
[09:16] <octan> Crazed, what app do you need to restrict bandwidth ?
[09:17] <octan> erm.
[09:17] <Crazed> erm enough ..
[09:17] <Crazed> just some random apps
[09:17] <cafuego> wookienz: I assume you've checked the wiki and have the firmware installed?
[09:17] <x81> how can i find the location of my ubuntu boot partition?
[09:17] <Bonez56__> x81: /etc/inittab
[09:17] <x81> tnks
[09:18] <octan> Crazed, try looking into tc and see if it can manipulate the ports the apps use.. if it does that then you can restrict the bandwidth
[09:18] <Crazed> ok
[09:20] <wookienz> cafuego, the wiki on the ubuntu site?  ok with kistmet, im not sure why i cant connect to networks then. i have been doing plenty of ndis wrapper removing and bcm43xx adding etc. got a specific link in the wiki. i have read and owloaded alot fo hoe to and some stuff off he ubuntu site but with no luck as yet
[09:20] <Crazed> octan: tc is the full package name ?
[09:20] <cafuego> wookienz: The connecting to networks takes a little while; depending on the exact model of card you have.
[09:20] <octan> i think you should have it installed.. man tc to check
[09:21] <x81> i still cant find the location of my ubuntu boot partition
[09:22] <Shadowpillar> say, isnt realplayer providing windows media codecs as part of microsoft's antitrust?
[09:22] <octan> Crazed, http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Traffic-Control-tcng-HTB-HOWTO/examples.html
[09:22] <Psykus> how would I change resolution for the login window/greeter? it's defaulting to 1600x1200 while I have my desktop at 1280x1024
[09:25] <det> Is it normal that I dont have a /dev/snd/seq device ?
[09:26] <crimsun> yes.
[09:26] <crimsun> you'd need to modprobe snd-seq
[09:26] <CyberMad> what is the best switch device? i use compex but usually got request time out when ping my other computer

[09:30] <dingus9> meathead: mysqladmin
[09:30] <meathead_> dingus9: I know the name of the command, it's giving me an error I don't understand
[09:31] <dingus9> ah
[09:31] <dingus9> your root?
[09:31] <wmealing_> hey guys, wondering if anyone has sucessfully installed ubuntu on a macbook via ( http://mirror.isp.net.au/ftp/pub/ubuntu-releases/6.06/ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso )
[09:31] <wmealing_> i tried it about 2 months ago
[09:31] <meathead_> when I type: meathead@quack:~$ mysqladmin -u root -p create torrentflux
[09:31] <wmealing_> and it crashed on the very last step, i guess it couldnt deal with EFI
[09:31] <wmealing_> that may not have been 6.06.1
[09:31] <wmealing_> maybe it was just 6.06
[09:31] <dingus9> wmealing_: not yet im trying ritght now
[09:31] <meathead_> I get an error: error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
[09:31] <wmealing_> dingus9, macbook ?
[09:32] <Psykus> anyone know how to change the resolution of the greeter/login window?
[09:32] <meathead_> is that my user password for linux, or for mysql?
[09:32] <dingus9> wmealing_: yah im having trouble with elilo
[09:32] <wmealing_> yeah, i might give ubuntu a miss then
[09:32] <wmealing_> fc6 beta installs fine.
[09:33] <dingus9> wmealing_: I am thinking it may be advantagous to us bootcamp but I am not sure

[09:42] <nn> Is there a way to perhaps set up apt and friends to instead of fetching binary packages, grab the source (keeping a local copy of it and patches/etc) for the package, build it with locally defined compiler flags/special options, install the newly built package, and deposit it in a local apt repository? Sounds almost stupid to want to do, but i've got many reasons for this.. perhaps debian channel might be better place to ask this?
