[06:12] <Yggdrasil> anyone here familiar with cmatrix ?
[06:12] <kronoman> hi people, well, I have a hard disk that is giving this error :  DriveReady SeekComplete Error and  UncorrectableError
[06:12] <odat> anyone know how to fix a blank usplash
[06:12] <kronoman> but seems to give it from sector 8 to 64 only
[06:12] <kronoman> can I still save it ?
[06:12] <kronoman> hard disks are expensive here
[06:13] <jbwan> welch: possibly. You should always check with the card manufacturer first before attempting file edits like that
[06:13] <kronoman> this is a case where value of hard disk > value of info on it
[06:13] <Yggdrasil> id like to make cmatrix come on after a while of inactivity when im sshd into my box, can i do that ?
[06:13] <welch> jbwan, thanks a lot
[06:13] <pchilds> does anyone know of the linux equivelent for mathimatica ?
[06:13] <frantic_> anybody here got a system76 machine
[06:14] <lisapc> should I run each day 2 commands.  apt-get update followed by apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[06:14] <Pelo> pchilds,  what is mathimatica ?
[06:14] <lisapc> what does apt-get dist-upgrade do that apt-get upgrade doesnt?
[06:14] <pchilds> Its a math program that allows mathimatical computation
[06:14] <bruenig> lisapc, man apt-get and see what it says
[06:15] <Pelo> pchilds,  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_algebra_systems
[06:15] <pchilds> Thanks Darius08x
[06:15] <lisapc> bruenig, will apt-get upgrade install latest security updates?  or do I need to run dist-upgrade?
[06:16] <bruenig> lisapc, upgrade will do it
[06:16] <Pelo> g'night folks
[06:16] <Kikkoman> what
[06:16] <Yggdrasil> any way to make an ssh session run a script after a certain time of inactivity ?
[06:16] <Darius08x> Hey, I'm trying to run a web-server thing from my computer and am using a LAMP server, apache, mysql, php, perl, etc. I've got everything up and working just fine and can view it from local host. But now, I need to be able to have other people visit it, how do I do this?
[06:16] <lisapc> bruenig, thanks
[06:17] <lisapc> bruenig, ill avoid dist-upgrade then
[06:17] <Kikkoman> I think my PC Just spontaneously restarted
[06:17] <bruenig> lisapc, ok do what you wish
[06:17] <eavawter> can anyone tell me how to install drivers for a dlink dwl650+ wireless card
[06:18] <lisapc> bruenig, ok thanks
[06:18] <lisapc> bruenig, if i understood you correctly, upgrade is all I need to get latest security uopdates etc
[06:18] <bruenig> lisapc, right
[06:19] <WiseElder> Hi, sorry by the bother but I am trying to install the Ubuntu 6.10 in my computer. Core 2 Duo 2.13, 2GBs RAM and 7300GS video. I was searching info and found that until april will be there a fix for something like this problem.
[06:19] <WiseElder> My question is: Is there any other way to get this installed or I just have to wait?
[06:19] <GionnyBoss> Darius08x: I think that your question is OT but ... just be sure that if you have a firewall it doesn't block port 80, and configure the NAT if you have a router (port forwarding). Then other people will be able to see your web server just inserting your ip address in their browser
[06:19] <lkthomas> hmm, how could I setup samba to allow any user to access it ?
[06:20] <Darius08x> Ok, thank you gionny. >.> Sorry for the ot question
[06:20] <Kikkoman> what?????
[06:20] <Kikkoman> My windows partition was reformatted when I reinstalled windows
[06:20] <pchilds> Cool found what I was looking for. Mathomatic. Thanks again for the link. Look out algebra class. lol
[06:20] <lisapc> bruenig, ty for always being helpful.

[06:21] <real_aussie> Anyone know how to edit "preferences" in "Software Updates"? ... The button is still in the Help guide, but has been removed from the screen dialog.
[06:21] <bruenig> real_aussie, what are you trying to do
[06:21] <GionnyBoss> Kikkoman: I hope you didn't loose important data :P
[06:21] <Kikkoman> GionnyBoss: Well actually... I kind of did ;-;

[06:22] <predder> lisapc, are you the person who started talking about vista in the #hardware channel a couple of weeks back?
[06:22] <Shaba1> hey
[06:22] <predder> hi!
[06:23] <lisapc> predder, i believe so.  I am now running Ubuntu :)
[06:23] <lisapc> predder, love it
[06:23] <predder> you were from Sydney?
[06:23] <real_aussie> bruenig, wanted to change update interval to, say, 31 days, and decrease max package size down to, say, 250M (I'm on a 1Gb/month plan).
[06:23] <lisapc> predder, yes
[06:24] <lisapc> predder, you have good memory
[06:24] <GionnyBoss> real_aussie: just open Synaptic Package Manager ... you will find updates preferences in the Repositories
[06:24] <lisapc> predder, was there somerhing you wanted to ask me?
[06:24] <eavawter> anyone that can help me install drivers of a newby ubuntu person .. for a dlink dwl650+ wireless card please feel free to pm me
[06:24] <predder> lisapc, no no, just wanted to see if you actually ended up ditching vista for ubuntu
[06:24] <predder> that's great news :)
[06:25] <lisapc> predder, I did :)  but I dual boot, because sometimes I need to boot into Vista for my webcam and TV tuner!  other than that, im always on Edgy now
[06:26] <christia1> hi
[06:26] <bruenig> !howdy | christia1
[06:26] <ubotu> christia1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:26] <jbwan> I'm simply depressed now... I can't edit the Gnome context menus
[06:27] <bruenig> jbwan, leave gnome
[06:27] <christia1> i accidently deleted /etc/modprobe.d/aliases, quick fix? ;)... sth like apt-get reinstall module-init-tools?
[06:27] <eavawter> anyone willing to help a newbie ubuntu person install drivers for a dlink wireless card?
[06:27] <jbwan> bruenig:  I'm just not thrilled with fluxbox, blackbox ... and enlightenment is still a bit iffy
[06:28] <jbwan> bruenig: If I could port the elive desktop theme to englightenment on Ubuntu I'd do that. I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough though
[06:28] <eavawter> okie dokie .. guess I'll try a different channel
[06:29] <LightCatcher> How do I make it so that I can see the list of what's going on as edgy loads under the ubuntu logo like you can see it in dapper?
[06:29] <real_aussie> GionnyBoss, bruenig, thanks: the update period was in there: but the size limit is *NOT* settable there.
[06:30] <LightCatcher> Is it even possible?
[06:30] <Flannel> LightCatcher: believe it's the "quiet" line in your boot params.
[06:31] <GionnyBoss> real_aussie: do you need that size limit option?
[06:31] <predder> I was told by someone that ubuntu was ditching the powerpc architecture.. can anyone confirm/deny?
[06:31] <LightCatcher> Flannel: how do I change the setting?
[06:31] <eavawter> OMG .. there are people here who answer question *checking my deoderant
[06:31] <Flannel> predder: "ditching" is too strong
[06:31] <cpk1> LightCatcher: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:32] <LightCatcher> thank you cpk1
[06:32] <Flannel> LightCatcher: Edit the commented out lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst, but first you might want to try it temporarily, at the grub menu, hit "e" and then you can boot, and see if that fixes it
[06:32] <real_aussie> GionnyBoss: woulda been nice, I guess, but I suppose that I can postpone/stall the upgrade anyway, before it starts.
[06:33] <LightCatcher> thank you too, flannel :)
[06:33] <GionnyBoss> real_aussie: I'm sorry but I can't help... I just do updates manually, I prefer to see what is going to install first :P
[06:33] <Flannel> predder: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2007-February/000098.html
[06:34] <Flannel> predder: Like I said, "ditching" is a bad word.  It will go unofficial after Feisty, but still community maintained.  That thread explains it all
[06:34] <real_aussie> GionnyBoss, thanks, bye.
[06:34] <eavawter> ok .. just checking .. yep .. I'm here .. can ANYONE see me typing
[06:34] <predder> thanks for the link Flannel, I just started googling

[06:38] <Alonea> goban: isnt it DOS? tried running it on DOSBOX?
[06:38] <eavawter> thanks flannel .. but I find those pages of little help .. as until recently I didn't understand that "make" meant use the ./ command
[06:38] <Alonea> fentgphx: whats wrong with it?
[06:38] <Zaphar_home> Flannel: I just wanted you to know that prevu did the trick and I can't thank you enough
[06:38] <goban> Alonea, oh im not trying to run that exactly, just wondering if there are any other games like that for linux
[06:38] <Flannel> eavawter: "make" is make.  Not ./.  Why are you compiling though?
[06:38] <fentgphx> it's not recognizing my battery, and if it recognizes it, it usually says it's dead

[06:40] <Shaba1> no one is ever listining over in #ipcop
[06:41] <goban> thanks flannel
[06:41] <Alonea> eavawter: are you trying to install your broadcom video card?
[06:41] <fentgphx> Is there a power manager that works better/ is more compatible with more systems?
[06:41] <eavawter> no .. my wireless card .. I have the driver installed .. but now my router won't let it past the firewall .. so I'm trying a different wireless card .. or trying to

[06:42] <ubotu> Sambis: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:42] <Alonea> er, thought this channel was "family friendly" (like how some people claim that in ##Linux...soooo totally not true
[06:43] <Alonea> well, it seems I have to redo my system again because nothing supports 64 bit...just gonna go back to x86
[06:43] <Alonea> it worked...generally.
[06:44] <kilinopsS> hola
[06:44] <kilinopsS> ..:P
 goban: ah, have no idea, I dunno what any of the linux games are besides UT2004 <-- doom3, quake 4 :D
[06:45] <Alonea> ^___^ I need to put Doom 3 on here...but after I redo my system. 64 bit isn't working.
[06:46] <christia1> how would I recover /etc/modprobe.d/aliases?
[06:46] <christia1> Can someone send his? ;)
[06:48] <Alonea> christia1: hmm, I can pastebin mine and you can just make one. dunno if it will work, but you can try
[06:48] <christia1> Alonea, that would be nice
[06:49] <Alonea> christia1: http://pastebin.ca/395657
[06:50] <christia1> Alonea, its edgy?
[06:50] <Alonea> you know how to make the file yes? sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/aliases (or you can use another text editor, I prefer vim though)
[06:50] <Alonea> christia1: yeah
[06:50] <aoirthoir> howdy
[06:50] <z0man> Has anyone tried to get ATT Yahoo Internet Service working on Ubuntu?
[06:51] <Alonea> christia1: and it says its standard so I doubt its different from x86 and x64
[06:51] <sue-amaroker>  anyone here know how I can point a .run file to look for a directory rather than a CD?
[06:51] <kraypius> how do I figure out what the name of the part/drive my ubuntu is using like /dev/hda* ?
[06:51] <kraypius> from command line
[06:52] <mistone> when I do fdisk /dev/sda ( my mircoSD ) it says cannot read
[06:52] <christia1> Alonea, alright thank u, I'll try
[06:52] <Alonea> no problem hun
[06:52] <mistone> but if I do fdisk /dev/sda -s it tells me I have a gig of partion space
[06:53] <cafuego_> huckster: corrupted zip file
[06:53] <Alonea> huckster: file is probably invalid. as in they zipped it wrong or in a way that is not widely used.
[06:53] <sue-amaroker> huckster - the file is not a valid zip format
[06:54] <kraypius> im in ubuntu, these are the instructions im following to get my windows boot loader fixed up: http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2006/05/08/dual-boot-laptop.html?page=last
[06:54] <aoirthoir> does anyone know if it is possible to have different wallpapers on the various gnome workspaces?
[06:54] <Alonea> huckster: they might of used some special settings with winzip 8 or 9 or whatever version/program they are using and thats why its invalid, but most likely its a corrupted file
[06:54] <kraypius> i need to run this command dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/mnt/share/ubuntu.bin bs=512 count=1
[06:54] <Flannel> !grub | kraypius, follow the first link
[06:54] <ubotu> kraypius, follow the first link: 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
[06:54] <jflash> hi, can someone help me configure email in my server?
[06:54] <kraypius> but i dont know what path to specify
[06:54] <huckster> Thank you cafuego/Alonea/sue-amaroker for helping. I think I'll unzip it in windows and then reopen in Ubuntu.
[06:55] <kraypius> flannel, i tried that and the CD i made couldnt fix my grub
[06:55] <kraypius> it would only let me boot directly into win or linux
[06:55] <Flannel> kraypius: what else do you want GRUB to do?
[06:55] <huckster> Have a Great Day!
[06:55] <Alonea> huckster: really, and people should use formats and settings for formats that anyone can use. I only use special compression techiniques for myself.
[06:55] <kraypius> i mean it wouldnt fix the grub install correctly
[06:56] <kraypius> it will only work to boot using the software on the cd
[06:56] <alienseer23> I am trying to do a restore up with my palm tx using gpilot, it gets stuck with the pilot trying to identify the user, and the appletjust seems to have an erradic status bar...help?
[06:56] <Flannel> kraypius: right, that's what you're supposed to do, then use the instructions on that page to fix grub, using the "Live/Desktop CD" instructions, on that page

[07:01] <Craeo> Greetings
[07:03] <Craeo> Any suggestions on getting mp3 files to play in 6.06?
[07:03] <nospi> i currently have windows xp and ubuntu installed on one hard drive (55gb) and i would like to install OS X 86 as well. we have an assignment to do for computer class to compare and analyze the differences between linux, windows and mac, and i thought it would be best to try them all out. Do i have to buy a new hard drive to install Mac OS X 86?
[07:03] <Craeo> Pretty sure it's just a matter of the player right?
[07:03] <nospi> you can use XMMS, it plays mp3s
[07:03] <mneptok> Craeo: sudo aptitude update && aptitude search fluendo
[07:04] <nospi> Craeo, or you have to get the right packages, mpg321 i think
[07:04] <cypher1> !mp3 > Craeo
[07:04] <mneptok> Craeo: install the Fluendo mp3 codec
[07:05] <Craeo> mneptok: I ran the command you just gave me, I assume it just installed the codec?
[07:05] <cypher1> Craeo: please check what ubotu told you

[07:07] <nospi> how do i check how many hard drives i can have in my computer? or can you only have one? sorry im really bad with hardware
[07:07] <cypher1> Craeo: please go through the above links mentioned by ubotu
[07:08] <MikeC2> Heya, any technician mind looking at this and telling me what they think about it : http://alliedpcr.org/index.php?topic=12.0
[07:08] <Craeo> I'm on the site now, reading up, thanks for the links, let you know my progress in a sec
[07:08] <Rohinton> macabre: try mepis it's ubuntu based, I have been using it for a couple of weeks and it's pretty solid.
[07:08] <cypher1> Craeo: ok
[07:08] <Jabberman> Can anyone tell me how to scheduale tasks in Dapper?
[07:08] <bulmer> nospi dependent on your controller
[07:08] <mustiy> When adding the official repetories i get a "no public key" error, how can i go about ficing this?
[07:08] <nospi> bulmer, is there a way i can check?
[07:09] <bulmer> nospi to check which controller you have?
[07:09] <cypher1> nospi: i am sure you can have multiple hard disks.. but not sure whether there is any limit on it
[07:09] <Rohinton> nospi: usually two, what size tower? what controllers?
[07:09] <nospi> bulmer, yeah
[07:09] <nospi> Rohinton, no idea, it's not a brand name tower
[07:09] <Jabberman> Anyone?
[07:09] <bulmer> nospi dmesg will tell you which hd controller you got
[07:09] <Rohinton> ok how tall approx?
[07:10] <nospi> bulmer, whoa... big output
[07:10] <cypher1> Jabberman: please see the message from ubotu
[07:10] <nospi> bulmer, what am i looking for in that?
[07:10] <bulmer> nospi something that will clue you in, like hd*
[07:11] <Rohinton> nospi: if you have a full tower you maybe able to get 2*3" and maybe 2*5.25" drives....
[07:11] <nospi> bulmer, [17179575.204000]   hda: hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 > hda3 hda4
[07:11] <mustiy> Sadface... Nobody knows why i get a "no public key" error when adding the official repatories?
[07:11] <Rohinton> nospi: they may not be physical drives but partitions.
[07:11] <nospi> Rohinton, an external one would do the job, i just want to install mac os x on an intel
[07:11] <nospi> Rohinton, oh right
[07:12] <Rohinton> hda is the hard drive and the rest will possibly be partitions.
[07:12] <bulmer> nospi what do you want to accomplish? put as many hard drive on your case?
[07:12] <Rohinton> nospi: if you have gparted you can look at the disk layout.
[07:12] <anathema> hey im trying to play a dvd (in fiesty)
[07:12] <cypher1> mustiy: i think man apt-key should provide some clues
[07:13] <anathema> tryed following some instructions which are actually for edgy
[07:13] <anathema> but cant get the thing to play
[07:13] <nospi> bulmer, i want to be able to boot xp, linux and mac off one hard drive, but it's only 55gb
[07:13] <Rohinton> nospi: Hm I was also going to ask, but I think that you just want to have another partition with some other os...
[07:13] <mustiy> cypher1: Sorry, i didnt understand - can you be more detailed?
[07:14] <nospi> Rohinton, yeah, but when you install the mac os x 86 intel version it wipes the whole drive
[07:14] <nospi> Rohinton, http://www.uneasysilence.com/os-x-proven-hacked-and-running-on-an-ordinary-pc/
[07:14] <bulmer> nospi it does?
[07:14] <Rohinton> nospi: Hmm you need the right type of install...
[07:14] <cypher1> mustiy: i think it has to do with the keys maintained by APT.. you can find more about it in "man apt-key"
[07:14] <nospi> bulmer, yeah, unfortunately
[07:15] <nospi> Rohinton, im going to read up on it a bit more, but i thought i'd better find out before i got too far into it
[07:15] <Rohinton> are you trying to use that vm ware based install?
[07:15] <cypher1> mustiy: i have not personally tried it so cannot give a quicker answer.. but the manpage should help you a lot
[07:15] <bulmer> nospi then just get yourself another hd, they are in-expensive now adays
[07:15] <nospi> bulmer, ok
[07:15] <mustiy> cypher1: okay i guess, i'll see what the above mentioned command gives me - i just want to know why earlier it worked and now it doesnt =(
[07:15] <bulmer> i'd like to give you my 800MB if you like..lolz
[07:15] <Rohinton> nospi: at cosco I got a 160GB passport drive - very nice....
[07:15] <nospi> bulmer, ... 800mb?
[07:16] <nospi> bulmer, the install file is 6gb :p
[07:16] <bulmer> nospi: yes a whopping 800MB
[07:16] <cypher1> mustiy: probably the key got changed ?
[07:16] <bulmer> awws..
[07:16] <nospi> bulmer, lol :p how old is it?
[07:16] <nospi> bulmer, i didn't know they made 800mb drives
[07:16] <mustiy> cypher1: Good call, hehe
[07:16] <bulmer> nospi: i think its marked circa 1996
[07:16] <Rohinton> nospi: I remember that install... it's the way things were set up but you can install it in an appropriately sized partition, I did start but got side tracked...
[07:16] <cypher1> mustiy: which repo is giving that error ? can you paste the output ?
[07:17] <mustiy> cypher1: sure.
[07:17] <nospi> Rohinton, ok. i've looked at a few sites, they all say more or less the same thing, but i'll keep looking
[07:17] <lisapc> how can I install Java runtime for Firefox pls?
[07:18] <Rohinton> nospi: running that under vm ware worked the best...
[07:18] <Rohinton> nospi: good luck.
[07:18] <nospi> Rohinton, i've heard a bit about vm ware, what is it?
[07:18] <Rohinton> it's software that emulates a pc...
[07:19] <nospi> Rohinton, but i've already got a pc, im trying to put mac on it
[07:19] <bulmer> lisapc you install your java jdk or jre and then do a update-alternatives
[07:19] <Rohinton> you feed it an iso image and it will boot up the virtual pc against that...
[07:19] <Rohinton> nospi: yes but the virtual machine will "think" its running what ever you have asked it too, and not know that it itself is only vaporware....
[07:20] <nospi> Rohinton, oh cool
[07:20] <Rohinton> nospi: yes - the best thing is they have made the player ( client ) free... so you should find a vm ware based install and check it out.
[07:21] <nospi> Rohinton, i'll have a look, thanks :)
[07:21] <Rohinton> nospi: theythe company that produce it.
[07:21] <Rohinton> nospi : no probs!
[07:21] <jimd3907> anyone know the irc command to filter out joins and parts from a channel??
[07:21] <mustiy> cypher1: Sorry, this is taking longer then usual... Not really sure why heh, one more minute please.
[07:22] <cypher1> mustiy: ok
[07:22] <mustiy>          deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main
[07:22] <mustiy>         deb-src http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main
[07:22] <mustiy> those 2
[07:22] <mustiy> and the error is as follows...
[07:23] <mustiy> W: GPG error: http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3FF0DB166A7476EA
[07:24] <nospi> Rohinton, would i find that vmware mac file on torrent sites?
[07:24] <nospi> Rohinton, i don't actually know what i'm looking for. is it like an iso?
[07:25] <felix_> Good morning!
[07:26] <felix_> My Update-manager does not work anymore - could anyone help me with this issue? http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/8324/
[07:26] <mustiy> cypher1: im trying to load those repository's so i can install the older version of Beryl
[07:27] <cypher1> mustiy: non-official repo's usually needs a key to be added to avoid the types of error you are seeing
[07:27] <cypher1> mustiy: it will be mentioned mostly in the webpage
[07:27] <mustiy> those are not official?
[07:28] <cypher1> mustiy: no i just mentioned.. i am not sure the beryl repo's are ubuntu hosted or not.. you can think on those lines and may correct the warning you are seeing
[07:28] <cypher1> mustiy: also the message can be ignored and the installation done if you want
[07:29] <mustiy> cypher1: installation is a no go, i get a error in the lines of "cannot find beryl<version #>" etc etc
[07:29] <mustiy> i think i have to have the official repo's up and running before anything, which i dont seem to have. Is there a direct website with the official repo's and keys?
[07:32] <Rohinton> nospi:http://www.osx86.theplaceforitall.com/howto/
[07:32] <mneptok> please use #ubuntu-effects for X compositor issues
[07:32] <nospi> Rohinton, thanks :)

[07:33] <Rohinton> nospi: and google can supply youmore info ;-)
[07:34] <nospi> Rohinton, ok :) i know i should google things more, i always forget lol
[07:35] <mneptok> please do not link to material that infringes on copyright
[07:35] <mneptok>  /msg is best for such things.
[07:35] <Rohinton> mneptok: sorry, noted.
[07:36] <LadyNikon> so..
[07:36] <mneptok> Rohinton: not a huge deal, but Apple's a cool companfy with a good product and they don't need Ubuntu users ripping them off in plain sight. nome sane?
[07:37] <LadyNikon> since i was told to install ubuntu first and windows second..
[07:37] <LadyNikon> how do i get ubuntu again?
[07:37] <mneptok> LadyNikon: that's backwards :)
[07:37] <LadyNikon> mneptok: i know.. but someone said that was the better way
[07:37] <mneptok> !grub | LadyNikon
[07:37] <ubotu> LadyNikon: 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
[07:37] <LadyNikon> argh
[07:37] <Rohinton> LadyNikon: if you can reinstall grub it should do the right thing...
[07:37] <LadyNikon> *reinstall* grub
[07:38] <LadyNikon> actually you know what
[07:38] <LadyNikon> i will just get a linux cd and alter it
[07:38] <LadyNikon> :D
[07:39] <LadyNikon> lol@grub floppies
[07:39] <LadyNikon> whats a floppy ;)
[07:39] <amishjew> hey
[07:39] <LadyNikon> an amishjew thats an interesting combo
[07:39] <amishjew> :-P
[07:40] <amishjew> I like oxymorons
[07:40] <amishjew> but AmishNazi isn't good when looking for help
[07:40] <LadyNikon> i wont go into detail on how thats not an oximoron but whatever.
[07:40] <LadyNikon> so whats up amishjew before someone tells us to shut up
[07:41] <amishjew> looking for info on whether or not 2000 will kill grub
[07:41] <amishjew> miss my fps's
[07:41] <Helmi> good morning ;) does anyone have a good source for desktop sounds? there's so many things with just a system beep here - i'd like to substitute them
[07:41] <mneptok> amishjew: it will
[07:41] <Slaj_R> Question for the willing -- Since upgrading to Edgy, I lost my wireless.  Apparently ndiswrapper is still working, but my wireless card is disabled.  Ideas?
[07:42] <mneptok> amishjew: tried Savage?
[07:43] <lwizardl> Hi
[07:43] <LadyNikon> amishjew: yes and there is a guide to fix it
[07:43] <LadyNikon> amishjew: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[07:43] <LadyNikon> heh i just so happen to be looking at it
[07:43] <amishjew> is there a floppy install of grub to sound utterly noobish
[07:44] <lwizardl> does ubuntu support anything to make allow system backup/restore to be done
[07:44] <LadyNikon> amishjew: just use the install cd
[07:44] <mneptok> LadyNikon / amishjew: there is also a GRUB restore ISO
[07:44] <amishjew> loaned it out
[07:44] <amishjew> friend loved my setup of xubuntu so he snagged it
[07:44] <mneptok> amishjew: the GRUB ISO is pretty small. stand by.
[07:44] <amishjew> rock most!
[07:45] <LadyNikon> mneptok: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ ?
[07:45] <mneptok> http://freshmeat.net/projects/supergrub/?branch_id=62132&release_id=249273
[07:45] <mneptok> LadyNikon: same project, i think
[07:46] <LadyNikon> its at the bottom of that recoveryubuntu... link
[07:46] <LadyNikon> ohh you can use a USB key
[07:46] <LadyNikon> uNF!
[07:46] <mneptok> amishjew: are you using binary video drivers in Ubuntu?
[07:46] <mneptok> LadyNikon: with the caveat that your BIOS must be able to boot from USB
[07:46] <mustiy> I get a "E: Version "" for 'beryl' was not found" error when doing a "sudo apt-get install beryl= <IP_ADDRESS>~0beryl1"  <--- Does anyone know what the problem maybe? I have the repo's loaded and all.
[07:47] <mustiy> I've been trying to fix this for the past 1h30mins. Sadface.
[07:47] <LadyNikon> mneptok: a what?
[07:47] <LadyNikon> caveat who?
[07:47] <LadyNikon> you mean the ability to boot from usb?
[07:47] <LadyNikon> i have that option :D
[07:47] <mneptok> then there it is.
[07:48] <LadyNikon> using big words on me :(
[07:48] <mneptok> LadyNikon: be cool. stay in school.
[07:48] <LadyNikon> from all the letters from A and Z i am hooked on phonics and still cant read
[07:48] <mustiy> Would anyone know why i get a --> E: Version '' for 'beryl' was not found <-- when trying to --->sudo apt-get install beryl= <IP_ADDRESS>~0beryl1<---
[07:49] <mustiy> Anyone? I'll take anything for a answer
[07:49] <LadyNikon> mustiy: sorry mate no idea
[07:50] <mneptok> mustiy: sudo aptitude update && aptitude search beryl
[07:50] <mustiy> trying now
[07:51] <mustiy> mneptok: that loaded afew things in my terminal, but once it completed i tried to run my command again..and to no avail.
[07:51] <mustiy> Same result.
[07:51] <mustiy> "E: Version '' for 'beryl' was not found"
[07:52] <rohinton> mustiy: try http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/BerylOnEdgy - was it edgy you wanted?
[07:52] <mustiy> yes
[07:52] <cypher1> mustiy: why are you mentioning a specific version ?
[07:53] <mneptok> mustiy: did it find a package named "beryl"?
[07:53] <mustiy> cypher1: because i dont want to install the latest version of Beryl (it causes a lot of problems, for a lot of people - specifically the white screen problem). I want to install 1 older version.
[07:53] <_spaz> i have problems with my apt-get
[07:53] <mustiy> mneptok: yes
[07:54] <cypher1> mustiy: ok
[07:54] <Smoke2k_> my friend installed beryl
[07:54] <Smoke2k_> he just had problem installing it earlier he said
[07:54] <mneptok> mustiy: no version. the package is named "beryl" with nothing else?
[07:54] <Smoke2k_> but he finally got it
[07:54] <jenda> Anyone good with X keyboard settings? I can't get my alt key to work (after fiddling around with gnome's settings, but normally using xmodmap...)
[07:54] <mustiy> mneptok: "p   beryl"
[07:55] <_spaz> wait, nm
[07:56] <jenda> I tried another user, and got: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10445/ - where can I access these settings in X?
[07:56] <jenda> uh oh... when I turn off beryl, it works :)
[07:56] <jenda> so - any tips?

[08:05] <mneptok> sdpurtill: you'll still need to boot

[08:28] <starz> oi
[08:28] <starz> i did that
[08:28] <starz> and it said the partitions passed
[08:28] <starz> but then the journal wouldnt mount and its in some wierd mode
[08:28] <starz> what should i do?
[08:29] <starz> oi
[08:29] <starz> put this inside a screen... sorry
[08:29] <sdpurtill> ok now i am getting very frustrated: i bought this box pre made from tigerdirect.com, and every time i turn it on ( it's plugged into 19" flat screen monitor, powered and all) absolutely no signal is going to the monitor
[08:30] <starz> so i did the 'touch forcefsck' and rebooted and all that.. now what?
[08:30] <sdpurtill> is there anyyy reason for this problem!? i've never had this problem before
[08:30] <Milos> this is not good
[08:30] <Milos> :)
[08:30] <starz> sdpurtill: did it ever work
[08:30] <sdpurtill> just got it today, it hasnt worked at all yet
[08:30] <starz> sdpurtill: it could be your video card
[08:30] <sdpurtill> SHIT
[08:30] <sdpurtill> noooo!
[08:30] <sdpurtill> it came installed in it though!
[08:31] <sdpurtill> i do not wanna return this damn thing
[08:31] <starz> try taking card out and plugging mon into mobo and check systemlogs
[08:31] <gnomer> sdpurtill onboard video or not?
[08:31] <sdpurtill> onboard
[08:31] <sdpurtill> wait
[08:31] <sdpurtill> do they make computers WITHOUT video cards these days?
[08:31] <sdpurtill> i may have been confused and bought the wrong system lol
[08:31] <funpop> im missing my volume control thing in kde..has anyone seen it :P ?
[08:32] <rohinton> sdpurtill: there are onboard controllers and video cards which did you pay for?
[08:32] <gnomer> sdpurtill well computers come with onboard video by default, unless you told them the video card of your choice, which will be plugged into an expansion slot such as agp, pci-e
[08:32] <sdpurtill> ummm let me ceck
[08:32] <sdpurtill> no no it is onboard
[08:32] <sdpurtill> i am 100% sure
[08:32] <Milos> funpop, kmix?
[08:32] <funpop> i think so
[08:32] <funpop> its not started by default anymore
[08:33] <Milos> start kmix and seve session
[08:33] <rohinton> sdpurtill: ok, so when you power it on do you see anything at all?
[08:33] <Milos> save
[08:33] <funpop> allright
[08:33] <Askar> I can not change the icon for the ubuntu main menu...help?
[08:33] <gnomer> sdpurtill It could be that onboard was disabled in BIOS.
[08:33] <omeil> doodle
[08:33] <funpop> milos i have another problem: when kde is loading its stuff i hear an error sound when the desktop icon is loading..
[08:33] <gnomer> sdpurtill It could be that onboard was disabled in BIOS. .. and your meant to use the video card on expansion slot, no?
[08:34] <sdpurtill> rohinton: when i power it on... NOTHING output to monitor whatsoever
[08:34] <sdpurtill> gnomer: they would do that to me?
[08:34] <sdpurtill> tigerdirect.com is where i bought it from
[08:34] <Milos> funpop, have you alsa?
[08:34] <omeil> sdpurtill: any sounds?
[08:34] <Milos> alsamixer
[08:34] <rohinton> sdpurtill: what type of monitor do you have?
[08:34] <Milos> alsadriver
[08:34] <sdpurtill> 19" samsung flatscreen
[08:34] <funpop> and sometimes i got random system freezes, no error message, no keyboard, mouse input possible
[08:34] <gnomer> sdpurtill Is this laptop or desktop?
[08:34] <funpop> i just enabled it, was it a good idea ?
[08:34] <sdpurtill> desktop
[08:34] <maxsoft> hi all. I've ubuntu 6.10. I've changed the graphics video adpeter and now dont start the XServer. exist a programm to configure the xserver ? thank you (like xfree86config)
[08:34] <rohinton> sdpurtill: what physical cables do you use?
[08:35] <gnomer> maxkelley dpkg-configure xserver-xorg
[08:35] <sdpurtill> just one to connect to the back of the computer that goes to the monitor, has blue tips or whatever
[08:35] <omeil> sdpurtill: so the copmuter turns on and it is just silent.....with no monitor output
[08:35] <sdpurtill> and two power cords that are connected, 1 for monitor, 1 for computer
[08:35] <sdpurtill> omeil: yes, that is my situation
[08:35] <gnomer> sdpurtill Ok, do you see any other similar connector (vga) at the back of your computer?
[08:35] <rohinton> sdpurtill: so standard cable, now your monitor does it accept more that one input?
[08:35] <sdpurtill> rohinton: nope, only one input
[08:35] <sdpurtill> if power counts as an input, then 2 :D
[08:36] <gnomer> sdpurtill Better yet, how many video card do you see at the back of your computer?
[08:36] <omeil> sdpurtill: if it was a video card issue the pc speaker would be beeping on boot. if its totally silent sounds like a cpu issue. maybe the cpu wasn't inserted properly or maybe moved during you receving it.
[08:37] <sdpurtill> omeil: is it possible that it got messed up in shipping?
[08:37] <rohinton> sdpurtill: when you power on do you hear the fans?
[08:37] <gnomer> sdpurtill Better yet, how many video card do you see at the back of your computer?
[08:38] <sdpurtill> gnomer: 1 video cards
[08:38] <sdpurtill> *card
[08:38] <omeil> sdpurtill: Yea a lil movement could make it unfunctional...not a big issue tho. no massive damage
[08:38] <sdpurtill> omeil: should i just call their tech support ?
[08:38] <starz> maxsoft:
[08:38] <omeil> sdpurtill: Yeah cause you don't wanna open the comp up if u have warrenty
[08:38] <sdpurtill> i hate calling india...
[08:39] <starz> in a terminal or tty: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:39] <starz> that will let you reconfigure that and choose the correct driver if it is installeddd
[08:39] <omeil> sdpurtill: I'm a PC Repair Specialist btw..thats how i know :D
[08:39] <starz> or you can manually edit and change driver in:: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:39] <maxsoft> starz: linux tell me that the package xorg-xserver is not installed
[08:39] <starz> well.
[08:39] <maxsoft> :(
[08:39] <starz> you have no X it seems
[08:39] <Takoda_Sky> I cracked my seal the first day.. lol
[08:39] <maxsoft> very strange...
[08:40] <starz> sudo apt-get install x-window-system
[08:40] <gnomer> starz wasn't it dpkg-configure xserver-xorg rather than dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[08:40] <sdpurtill> omeil: thanks
[08:40] <rohinton> sdpurtill: when you power the box on do you see any signs of life?
[08:40] <omeil> sdpurtill: Or the only way i could be mistaken is if where u brought it from connected the pc speaker wrong and the computer seems to be beeping but sound isn't coming out, but i highly doubt it.
[08:40] <sdpurtill> rohinton: yes, for sure
[08:40] <sdpurtill> lights go on
[08:40] <maxsoft> starz:  I try
[08:40] <starz> er
[08:40] <starz> x-window-system-core
[08:40] <sdpurtill> rohinton: it sounds like its running, theres fans and lights and everything
[08:41] <mneptok> maxsoft: wait.
[08:41] <starz> and sudo apt get install xorg
[08:41] <Milos> I will any nice gnome wallpaper plss help
[08:41] <gnomer> omeil or they've forgot to plug in the pc speaker =)
[08:41] <mneptok> maxsoft: what is your goal?
[08:41] <rohinton> sdpurtill: did you swap the box and monitor power cables?
[08:41] <starz> mneptok: he changed vid cards
[08:41] <sdpurtill> rohinton: nope
[08:41] <maxsoft> mneptok: I've changed the graphic adpater and now dont star x
[08:41] <starz> apparently gets no X from new one
[08:41] <sdpurtill> one thing i did on accident
[08:41] <omeil> gnomer: yup thats what i said :) that could happen if noobies do it lol
[08:41] <sdpurtill> i mistook the reset button for the power button the first time i turned it on
[08:41] <sdpurtill> so i held down the reset button
[08:41] <kraut> moin
[08:41] <sdpurtill> then i was like... duh.... theres the power button
[08:41] <starz> sdpurtill: what were you using for gui window manager?
[08:41] <starz> er
[08:41] <starz> i meant maxsoft
[08:42] <starz> sorry bout that ^^
[08:42] <sdpurtill> np
[08:42] <mneptok> maxsoft: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xresprobe && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:42] <maxsoft> 'xcore it's not installed'
[08:42] <maxsoft> I've gnome (ubuntu)
[08:42] <Alonea> hey, is there any way I can actually install from the iso? like, put it on my other hd and install from that? my dvd burner is really screwed up and wont burn any faster than .40x (its supposed to burn at 8x)
[08:42] <starz> then just do: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[08:42] <clouder`grr> Anyone know of a fix for vino-server taking up 100% cpu or is it still an unpatched bug?
[08:42] <starz> see how many packages it says to install
[08:42] <starz> dont install them just yet though
[08:42] <rohinton> sdpurtill: prove the cables by swapping?
[08:42] <gnomer> mneptok wasn't it dpkg-configure xserver-xorg rather than dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[08:43] <omeil> sdpurtill: your better off calling there tech support. cause if u touch the insides they will be all, you violated the warranty you bastard lol
[08:43] <mneptok> gnomer: no
[08:43] <starz> what kind was the old vid card and what kind is the new one?
[08:43] <starz> gnomer: no
[08:43] <starz> lol
[08:43] <starz> mneptok: beat me
[08:43] <starz> sigh.
[08:43] <sdpurtill> omeil: ok :D will do
[08:43] <rohinton> sdpurtill: I agree, do'nt open the box if youhave just purchased it.
[08:43] <starz> what about my ext3 filesystem though?
[08:43] <maxsoft> starz: xresprobe it's not installed
[08:43] <sdpurtill> rohinton: ill try that right now
[08:43] <starz> maxsoft: install package ubuntu-desktop
[08:44] <starz> but dont fully install it
[08:44] <starz> how many packages does it say it wants to install?
[08:44] <maxsoft> starz: I'm restart it.
[08:44] <mneptok> starz: what ext3 issue?
[08:44] <starz> mneptok: i was the guy in here a little bit ago
[08:44] <starz> um
[08:44] <mneptok> forcefsck :)
[08:44] <starz> my compy reboots and tells me my ext3 partition is crap and makes me  put in admin pw
[08:44] <starz> i am following that
[08:44] <starz> yeah
[08:44] <omeil> ERROR: #27: Cannot load component 'gb.qt': cannot find library file
[08:44] <starz> so it did that then passed the partition
[08:45] <starz> but the thing wouldnt mount jourlals right i think... then mounted it in a very wierd wya
[08:45] <mneptok> it did the media check?
[08:45] <starz> way*
[08:45] <omeil> i think its installed through synaptic package manager :(, trying to install Gambas
[08:45] <starz> sigh.
[08:45] <sander> centos
[08:45] <starz> let me restart again and see if it passes
[08:46] <Takoda_Sky> anyone know how to get my MCP51 AC97 Audio Controller to spit sound out to all 6 speakers?  Getting sick of hearing only two and no sub.. uggh  :-/
[08:47] <starz> actually
[08:47] <starz> mneptok: where would it keep system log of that event? the mounting of fs etc?
[08:47] <sdpurtill> just switched the power
[08:47] <sdpurtill> still nothin
[08:47] <sdpurtill> they keyboard doesnt even light up when i turn it on
[08:47] <sdpurtill> god this is bullshit
[08:47] <starz> Takoda_Sky: right click on speaker icon
[08:48] <starz> then edit > preferences or something like that
[08:48] <starz> and  add things you see to the bars
[08:48] <mneptok> starz: /var/log/dmesg
[08:48] <starz> like pcm :P
[08:48] <starz> thanx mneptok checking that
[08:48] <SailorJerry> Hi all, I've been trying to get my 1xEvdo card up and running and I think I've gotten it like 90% there the card is detected the drivers are loaded and I can dial the ppp connection and get an IP address and DNS however I can not ping anything on the internet or the DNS server any clues? I suspect its a bad route, but I'm not too familiar with this command and its syntax is a little tricky for me.
[08:48] <Takoda_Sky> omg :-D
[08:48] <starz> ordered data mode
[08:49] <maxsoft> starz: "package" dont exist
[08:49] <Takoda_Sky> that's exactly why I couldn't do it.. it was too easy
[08:49] <Takoda_Sky> thanks
[08:49] <gnomer> SailorJerry can you ping an ip address rather than a domain name?
[08:49] <omeil> sdpurtill: What did they say?
[08:49] <SailorJerry> thats what i've been trying to ping gnomer
[08:49] <Takoda_Sky> thanks starz
[08:50] <maxsoft> starz: install package ubuntu-desktop
[08:50] <rohinton> sdpurtill: sounds like mother board problems....
[08:50] <sdpurtill> f********ck
[08:50] <rohinton> sdpurtill: you called the support people?
[08:50] <sdpurtill> no not yet
[08:50] <sdpurtill> im about to
[08:50] <Takoda_Sky> think I'll hang out a while and learn of you ppl..  you don't mind do you?
[08:51] <gnomer> SailorJerry you might have a modem, that ubuntu doesn't have a built-in driver for. xD
[08:51] <SailorJerry> well I dont think thats the case since I've already made the PPP connection and have been given an IP address from the ISP
[08:51] <omeil> They wouldn't send a computer which dosen't work. So i assume it would be the CPU
[08:51] <SailorJerry> it even creates entries in resolv.conf
[08:52] <omeil> sdpurtill: what type of CPU does it have?
[08:52] <Takoda_Sky> my ethernet card was incompatible.. slid in another one and wah la.. worked like a charm
[08:52] <SailorJerry> and now its working....
[08:52] <SailorJerry> creepy
[08:54] <SailorJerry> and now its dead
[08:54] <Ademan> would it be possible to create your own liveCD by mounting the iso file and chroot-ing into it? (and then i ASSUME apt-get would work and affect the iso only right?)
[08:54] <sdpurtill> can i burn ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso to a disc and stick it in? or do i have to do some special operation to make it bootable
[08:55] <mahuyar> I'm trying to compile Audacious from source with extra libraries such as mp3 and ogg support.  Compiling Audacious went smooth, but how could I add extra stuff?
[08:55] <mneptok> sdpurtill: just burn it as you would any other ISO
[08:55] <SailorJerry> ademan: I know you can boot an ISO with lilo (probably grub too) but I would think it would be readonly
[08:55] <Takoda_Sky> img burn is great for that if your burning from windoze
[08:55] <sdpurtill> mneptok: i have never burned an ISO before... lol... again, total noob at this stuff
[08:55] <Takoda_Sky> couple clicks.. no config
[08:56] <Ademan> SailorJerry: mounting, not booting
[08:56] <omeil> sdpurtill: you have msn or yahoo ill help you
[08:56] <MockY> Use Nero (if you are on a windows box) and burn it as an image
[08:56] <rohinton> sdpurtill: img burn on windows is what I use....
[08:56] <mneptok> sdpurtill: lemme find you a nice tutorial that uses freeware for Windows
[08:56] <sdpurtill> ill use imgburn
[08:56] <Takoda_Sky> sdpurtill go to afterdawn.com and get img burn
[08:56] <sdpurtill> quick n easy
[08:57] <mneptok> sdpurtill: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/iso
[08:57] <SailorJerry> wouldn't chrooting still use the original kernel you booted with? which I would think would cause some problems with a livecd enviornment, maybe not though
[08:57] <kraut> http://popey.com/Ubuntu_is_sexy_alright
[08:58] <rohinton> sdpurtill: after you install img burn the iso on the system should be associated with it, by it's extension, select the file, hit mb3 and select Burn using img burn
[08:58] <Takoda_Sky> thats funny
[09:00] <Takoda_Sky> sdpurtill, make sure to burn slow to minimalize the chance of errors since it's going to be an OS disc
[09:00] <sdpurtill> k, will do
[09:01] <Takoda_Sky> well IMG will verify anyhow.. still a good rule of thumb
[09:01] <mneptok> 4x or slower
[09:01] <omeil> So the ubuntu DVD gots alota extras?
[09:02] <Takoda_Sky> I was wondering why ppl got the dvd..  I mean can't you just add that stuff once you get a system up and running?
[09:02] <sdpurtill> i dl'd a dvd the first time
[09:02] <sdpurtill> then i came in here and was told to get a cd
[09:03] <Takoda_Sky> well, in case of dial up I guess
[09:03] <omeil> and i guess the stuffo nthe DVD will get outdated sooner or later
[09:04] <sdpurtill> operating systems are like hot girls
[09:04] <sdpurtill> they go out of style
[09:04] <sdpurtill> very quickly
[09:04] <omeil> lol
[09:04] <digdug> so if you install a custom kernel (created with make-kpkg), and I uninstall the generic kernels included with ubuntu, will software update stop bugging me about reinstalling the old kernel?
[09:05] <voltagex> is it possible to create a non live ubuntu cd? I have a specific set of packages that I want to install on several machines, some without net access
[09:05] <rohinton> sdpurtill: dvd's take a long time to copy, you can get a better choice of more "up-to-date" packages via a running system
[09:05] <Takoda_Sky> anyone seen the gaming ubuntu yet? was reading about it earlier http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=3664
[09:05] <rapid> voltagex, theres LFS, buts thats not ubuntu :)
[09:06] <voltagex> rapid: no, it's possible to make custom debian installer discs
[09:06] <cocal> join #ubuntu-cn
[09:06] <rapid> voltagex, then you just answered your own question
[09:06] <voltagex> ah, ubuntu and debian are similar in some ways
[09:07] <omeil> I can answer all my questions by getting a shave
[09:07] <digdug> I think making the install cd also a live cd was genius
[09:07] <Takoda_Sky> yes
[09:07] <omeil> an installation live cd :D
[09:07] <rohinton> digdug: Yes one of the best insights yet...
[09:07] <Takoda_Sky> this helps me know what distros hate my ethernet adapter
[09:07] <omeil> hmm or Live installation CD
[09:07] <rapid> if its not installable its pointless :)
[09:08] <omeil> yup
[09:08] <Takoda_Sky> cause there's a few that certainly do
[09:08] <neosimago> i've installed linux a few times, and i thought about trying out ubuntu. -- the kernel seems to halt during boot. -- i'm a gentoo user. what do you think about chroot into a ubuntu install? -- or is there a way to fix the ubuntu kernel?
[09:08] <omeil> i just love the not doing anything with LAN, ubuntu installed my network and also detected the internet connection through the network
[09:08] <digdug> neosimago: I have that same problem; hp dv9000z with turion 64 x2
[09:09] <digdug> I have to use noapic to boot
[09:09] <omeil> which with XP i have to do manually
[09:09] <neosimago> digdug: noapic in the boot line right?
[09:09] <digdug> the negative effects I've found from that are that usb2.0 stops working, though
[09:09] <digdug> yes
[09:10] <Takoda_Sky> I have tried everything.. setting up a static ip.. letting dhcp decide for me.. nothing works on that nividia card I have.. just get the message eth0 is already running
[09:10] <rapid> nvidia network card?
[09:10] <omeil> What a eho0 bastard
[09:10] <omeil> and yea nvidia network card?
[09:10] <IndyGunFreak> that'd be a first i heard of that
[09:10] <Takoda_Sky> finally gave up,..  and took the sleeve off and replaced it
[09:10] <Takoda_Sky> yup
[09:10] <Takoda_Sky> onboard
[09:11] <omeil> ah
[09:11] <Takoda_Sky> can't remember what kind I slapped in.. but it updated emediately
[09:11] <omeil> never had one of them. i got the SIS NIC
[09:11] <omeil> SiS cards always work goods. or Realtek
[09:11] <Takoda_Sky> made me do this ----> :-D
[09:11] <Takoda_Sky> lol
[09:11] <omeil> lol
[09:11] <rapid> Atheros!
[09:11] <digdug> I just hope my bcm 4312 works with an unpatched <IP_ADDRESS> kernel
[09:12] <digdug> using bcm43xx instead of ndiswrapper
[09:12] <omeil> how long has it been since the 6.10 release?
[09:12] <neosimago> digdug: wait, is the noapic in the kernel line of grub?
[09:12] <Takoda_Sky> is that dapper?
[09:12] <digdug> neosimago, that's where I put it
[09:12] <Takoda_Sky> thats what I'm on.. I said f*** it.. didn't feel like DL another one after the week I've had
[09:12] <pirothezero> there a sports channel on freenode at all?
[09:13] <pirothezero> or offtopic
[09:13] <digdug> I usually just add it after "splash"
[09:13] <Takoda_Sky> still had my ship-it's
[09:13] <omeil> that ultimate gamers DVD just has alot of the games that we can get from our synaptic package manager, and just a couple of Demos like UT2004 for linux and Q3
[09:14] <Takoda_Sky> Yeah.. I was just reading in the linux columns on AD
[09:14] <Takoda_Sky> they all say "bloated"
[09:14] <omeil> yerp
[09:14] <Takoda_Sky> I agree
[09:15] <Takoda_Sky> don't need everything.. just some of the cool things
[09:15] <omeil> yea
[09:15] <omeil> i can't get Gambus to work
[09:15] <fentgphx> I'm unable to open .rar files with the archive manager.  Does anyone have experience with such a problem?
[09:15] <omeil> >.<
[09:15] <Takoda_Sky> have yet to try
[09:15] <Takoda_Sky> but thats coming I'm sure
[09:15] <Takoda_Sky> I have perfect attendance on demonoid
[09:16] <Takoda_Sky> :-X
[09:16] <omeil> fentgphx: are u trying to open this .rar file from your HD or across a network?
[09:16] <neosimago> i noticed that in grub the lines "savedefault and boot" at the end of each menu item. they seem not to be required for a gentoo kernel. what do they do?
[09:16] <omeil> cause i couldn't open rar files across a network
[09:16] <Takoda_Sky> shhh..  my ISP may be listening  :-X
[09:16] <omeil> lol
[09:16] <Takoda_Sky> oh yeah
[09:16] <omeil> What Linux games have u got?
[09:16] <Takoda_Sky> thats what I want to ask
[09:17] <fentgphx> I am trying to open the .rar file from my HD
[09:17] <Takoda_Sky> is there a torrent engine out there for linux that forces encryption?
[09:17] <Takoda_Sky> like utorrent does
[09:18] <Takoda_Sky> I know I can run utor in WINE.. but the "man" owns them now anyway
[09:18] <wwq222> Hi can anyone tell me the command to search all subdirectories for a filename?  sorta like dir /s in DOS
[09:19] <gnomer> wwq222 find / -name TheNameOfFile
[09:19] <Takoda_Sky> demonoid now has the ubuntu bible folks
[09:19] <mneptok> ls -Rla | grep $filename
[09:19] <neosimago> i noticed that in grub the lines "savedefault and boot" at the end of each menu item. they seem not to be required for a gentoo kernel. what do they do? ? ?
[09:19] <Takoda_Sky> for those that do that kind of thing and all..  hehehe
[09:20] <wwq222> Thanks!
[09:20] <mneptok> Takoda_Sky: please do not advertise such things
[09:20] <Takoda_Sky> ok
[09:20] <Takoda_Sky> wasn't sure if that was free press or not
[09:20] <Takoda_Sky> just noticed it is all
[09:20] <mneptok> try stealing a book from a store and let us know wha'ppens ;)
[09:21] <Takoda_Sky> sorry bout' that.. won't happen again chief

[09:21] <omeil> Does anyone know how to compile with Gambas?
[09:22] <omeil> nevermind :D
[09:22] <riaal> what is the easyest way of seting up an ftp server?
[09:23] <valehru> Hey guys, Im running x64 and when I go to the console with Ctrl+alt+F5 the console screen that I reach flickers pretty badly.
[09:23] <mneptok> riaal: use SFTP?
[09:23] <riaal> mneptok, is it graphical?
[09:23] <mneptok> riaal: sure, if you want
[09:23] <mneptok> riaal: what OSes will be accessing the server?
[09:23] <riaal> mneptok, web based or gome?
[09:23] <torrr> how can I set pure-ftpd anonymous home dir, and allowed incoming ips?
[09:24] <riaal> mneptok, probably most winXp
[09:24] <mneptok> riaal: it's built into Linux
[09:24] <mneptok> riaal: Win32 users can use FileZilla to access SFTP servers. gFTP on Linux. CyberDuck on OSX. all are freeware.
[09:24] <riaal> mneptok, I have used ftpd before but it was lot of work adding users etc.
[09:25] <eavawter> my wireless card is knocking on the door of my router (a belkin F5D7231-4) and I keep getting the message: [16:25]  <Cisyouc> what's up?
[09:25] <eavawter> [16:26]  <eavawter> hiya
[09:25] <eavawter> [16:26]  * eavawter taking a DEEP BREATH .. lol
[09:25] <eavawter> [16:26]  <Cisyouc> Hey there.
[09:25] <eavawter> [16:26]  <Cisyouc> You're having an issue with ndis?
[09:25] <eavawter> [16:26]  <eavawter> I'm trying to use ndiswrapper ... I
[09:25] <mneptok> riaal: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install openssh-server
[09:25] <riaal> mneptok, SFTP runns on different protocolls then regunal ftp
[09:25] <eavawter> oops ... sorry abotu that
[09:25] <eavawter> that's not what I intended to sen
[09:25] <mneptok> riaal: correct. it's encrypted and therefor more secure.
[09:26] <gnomer> riaal same protocol, but SFTP is more secure.
[09:26] <mneptok> gnomer: SFTP uses ssh as a protocol. FTP uses ftp.
[09:26] <riaal> sounds great, so heavy ftp clents for like Xp will probably suport it?
[09:26] <riaal> oh I see
[09:27] <digdug> as far as ftp clients for windows go, my favorite is filezilla
[09:27] <mneptok> riaal: any FTP client built in the last 5 years with at least a *tiny* clue should support sftp/scp
[09:27] <omeil> if i use the KDE webbrowser on a proggy will users have to download the kde package?
[09:27] <mneptok> (FileZilla has a clue)
[09:27] <riaal> mneptok, great =)
[09:28] <Takoda_Sky> I used 6.06 to install..  when I updated..  did that "put me up to speed" so to speak? or do I need to do something more than just update to get up to date with ubuntu?
[09:28] <mneptok> riaal: all you have to do to create users for SFTP is create new users on the machine. they login using their username and password for Ubuntu.
[09:28] <Askar> Is there a command to show/hide the desktop??? =-O
[09:28] <digdug> there's a button on the taskbar at the bottom of my screen that does that
[09:28] <digdug> bottom left
[09:29] <mneptok> Askar: left side of the bottom GNOME panel
[09:29] <eavawter> my wireless card is knocking on the door of my router (a belkin F5D7231-4) and I keep getting the message: Thu Mar 15 00:24:12 2007 1 Blocked by DoS protection <IP_ADDRESS>.  how do I fix this?
[09:29] <Hallage> Hey everyone. I am having difficulty getting my Lexmark z603 printer to work under Edgy. Ive done a fairly extensive Google, but there are no z603 HOWTOs on there and none of the HOWTOs for the other z6XX series work for me. I basically need a step-by-step walkthrough on how to get it printing, although a link to a website with a HOWTO on it would be just as good.
[09:29] <riaal> mneptok, remember that from the old days.. probably easyer to make a script for it.. is the graphical interface installed when "install openssh-server"
[09:29] <riaal> ?
[09:29] <Askar> mneptok: yeah.. I know..I just thinks its so ugly,, ;(
[09:29] <mneptok> riaal: there is no GUI to the SFTP server. it runs as the ssh server process.
[09:30] <alienseer23> hello, I am trying to run wine for the first time, every time I try to install something, the install launcher gets interrupted right away, and nothing installs, can anyone help me?
[09:30] <alienseer23> please?
[09:30] <mneptok> Hallage: AFAIK, 99% of Lexmark printers are paperweights in Linux
[09:31] <B|nTaRa> hmm
[09:31] <Hallage> mneptok: Damn. Is there anything I can do
[09:31] <B|nTaRa> why my NTFS hdd has problem ?
[09:31] <UB`> Hallage just add it from printing preferences
[09:31] <B|nTaRa> it said something problem with the log file
[09:31] <Hallage> mneptok:I mean, I dont have a boat inneed of an achor :-p
[09:31] <Hallage> UB`:That doesnt work... thats why Im asking. No drivers for it
[09:32] <mneptok> Hallage: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-Z602_series_z601_z602
[09:32] <UB`> Hallage https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersLexmark?highlight=%28print%29
[09:32] <_raphael_> my update manager says I need a dist-upgrade. should I do one?
[09:32] <UB`> there is a z605 there I think you can use that drivers
[09:33] <Hallage> UB and mneptok: Thanks for the links. If they dont work, Ill come back here
[09:33] <UB`> I hope it'll work ;)
[09:33] <eavawter> btw .. anyone who is interested .. there IS a way to install the drivers for broadcom wireless cards with OUT using ndiswrapper
[09:34] <mneptok> Hallage: FYI, Lexmark is not Linux friendly. Brother and HP are far more so.
[09:34] <B|nTaRa> Failed to open directory "SATA1 -   Misc and Anime Data".
[09:34] <B|nTaRa> Permission denied.
[09:34] <B|nTaRa> whats wrong ?
[09:34] <mneptok> man chown
[09:34] <mneptok> man chmod
[09:34] <digdug> eavawter: yeah, I had to compile <IP_ADDRESS> with patches linked from #bcm-users
[09:34] <B|nTaRa> i cant open the partitions that i mounted
[09:34] <eavawter> this doesn't even use that .. and no recompiling is required
[09:35] <UB`> B|nTaRa check the permissions
[09:35] <digdug> eavawter: I have a 4312, so unfortunately it is for me
[09:35] <eavawter> I'll send you the link to the page if you want it
[09:35] <B|nTaRa> UB`, permission all ok
[09:35] <digdug> major transmission issues otherwise
[09:35] <karakara> can anyone help me with gnome-screensaver-command --lock ? It is saying failed to connect to D-BUS daemon (which is running)
[09:35] <bullgard4> What means 'raw binary'? Synaptic writes under 'acpidump': "utilities to dump system's ACPI tables to an ASCII file. This package contains a small collection of utilities ACPI system tables:* acpidump: to dump tables, * acpixtract: to convert ASCII acpidump output to raw binary; * acpitbl: to dump the table header or contents of a raw ACPI table. Note: Upstream package is called pmtools."
[09:35] <UB`> B|nTaRa are you sure? double check it pls
[09:35] <eavawter> what driver is it using digdug
[09:35] <digdug> but I'd still be interested in seeing the link
[09:36] <B|nTaRa> UB`,    Run 'ntfsfix' on Linux unless you have Vista, then mount NTFS with
[09:36] <B|nTaRa>    the 'force' option read-write, or with the 'ro' option read-only.
[09:36] <digdug> wl_apsta.o
[09:37] <B|nTaRa> UB`, im sure ... here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10450/
[09:37] <Takoda_Sky> eww they said vista
[09:37] <mneptok> B|nTaRa: it's pretty obvious that the permissions are not "all ok" ;)
[09:37] <clouder`grr> Last nite I asked why moving a window around (like a nautilus window) takes up 100% of my cpu.  I was told because of 2D accel. and to install binary drivers.  I did that, glxinfo | grep direct returns yes and planetpenguin gets 100fps
[09:37] <B|nTaRa> mneptok, how to do it ?
[09:37] <UB`> B|nTaRa is clear: Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Operation not supported
[09:37] <UB`> the device isnt mounted
[09:38] <B|nTaRa> UB`,  how to mount the device ?
[09:38] <B|nTaRa> 1 of the partition is ok
[09:38] <UB`> read that and run what it says
[09:38] <karakara> can anyone help me with gnome-screensaver-command --lock ? It is saying failed to connect to D-BUS daemon (which is running) pllleeeeeeb?
[09:38] <mneptok> B|nTaRa: you could try following the instructions ;)
[09:38] <UB`> like ntfsfix
[09:38] <B|nTaRa> UB`, i a newb , thats why im here
[09:39] <mneptok> B|nTaRa: do you not see the "Start Windows and then shut it down cleanly" suggestion in that error message?
[09:39] <B|nTaRa> mneptok, i dont have any windows now !
[09:40] <UB`> B|nTaRa get a terminal and follow this: Run 'ntfsfix' on Linux unless you have Vista, then mount NTFS with
[09:40] <UB`>    the 'force' option read-write, or with the 'ro' option read-only.
[09:40] <clouder`grr> I'm using a radeon 9000 pro, and using BigDesktop to get dual monitors working.  Any ideas as to why moving around a window is straining my compy to 100% cpu usage still?
[09:40] <B|nTaRa> UB`, i need help with that
[09:41] <B|nTaRa> UB`, where should i put the force option ?
[09:42] <weijie902> hi
[09:42] <weijie902> is Dell Media Direct useful at all?
[09:42] <weijie902> I will wipe it to ease GRUB installation if its useless
[09:43] <karakara> can anyone help me with gnome-screensaver-command --lock ? It is saying failed to connect to D-BUS daemon (which is running) pllleeeeeeb?
[09:43] <B|nTaRa> UB`, u know how to do it ?
[09:43] <voltagex> how big is the base system that the NetInstaller grabs?
[09:43] <B|nTaRa> mneptok,  ?
[09:44] <UB`> B|nTaRa man ntfsfix, man mount
[09:44] <UB`> and read it
[09:44] <B|nTaRa> pfft .. so u dont know how to do it
[09:45] <mneptok> B|nTaRa: just because someone doesn't want to type out instructions that already exist on your machine doesn't mean they don't know.
[09:46] <UB`> I know but I preferer you read it
[09:46] <UB`> brb
[09:46] <aimaz> I am trying to download a feisty image using jigdo, the mirrors in australia all seem to have 404s for a lot of the required files any ideas where i can report that?
[09:47] <voltagex> aimaz: US mirrors ok? if they are, an update is in progress
[09:47] <Caplain> is there a good guide for getting compiz to work?
[09:47] <voltagex> which mirror in particular are you using?
[09:47] <voltagex> Caplain: look on ubuntuforums
[09:48] <Caplain> okay
[09:48] <sdpurtill> OK
[09:48] <Rooy> Caplain: /join #ubuntu-effects
[09:48] <sdpurtill> just got back from like an hour of tech support
[09:48] <sdpurtill> im sendin my box back

[09:48] <sdpurtill> im going to install ubuntu on my moms windows xp computer
[09:48] <sdpurtill> you can choose if you want win xp or ubuntu on startup, right?
[09:49] <XP> yes
[09:49] <sdpurtill> ok
[09:49] <XP> good luck
[09:49] <sdpurtill> is it hard?
[09:49] <digdug> if you know how to install both os's, not really
[09:49] <sdpurtill> first time installing ubuntu ... :D
[09:50] <digdug> still shouldn't be hard, you might have to edit your grub config if you want windows to be your default
[09:50] <digdug> otherwise, ubuntu should automatically add windows to the boot list
[09:50] <sdpurtill> k, here i go!!!!
[09:51] <clouder`grr> Anyone know why 2D performance would suck, but 3D performace seems fine? I'm using fglrx with BigDesktop

[10:16] <desire> sorry

[10:16] <sdpurtill> peace
[10:16] <digdug> sdpurtill, night, good luck
[10:16] <mneptok> omeil: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf || change driver || ctl-alt-bkspc
[10:16] <sdpurtill> thanks, later
[10:17] <aimaz> asianCOOL, if you `apt-get install build-essential`i think it will get all that
[10:17] <desire> my problem tortured me already three days
[10:17] <mneptok> riaal: ssh -vvvvvvv <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:17] <omeil> mneptok: yeah thats what i was thinking...can he get to a terminal before boot up?
[10:17] <mneptok> riaal: pastebin the results
[10:17] <riaal> mneptok, what is that??? =S
[10:17] <mneptok> omeil: is this sd?
[10:17] <riaal> !pastebin
[10:17] <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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:17] <Ktron> No insight on how to stop my system from locking up and the screens going blank whenever I shutdown/restart/logout/etc from Xorg?
[10:17] <omeil> mneptok: sd? dunno ask sdpurtill
[10:18] <Ktron> (Or switch TTYs to a text one from the graphical TTY I booted to)
[10:18] <mneptok> omeil: he should use the alt CD
[10:18] <omeil> mneptok: i think he is using the alt CD
[10:18] <digdug> that's assuming it's his video; his screen didn't go black until he'd left the install going for 15 minutes
[10:18] <mneptok> if X is an issue, he's not
[10:18] <digdug> sorry, left the live cd booting for 15 minutes

[10:23] <benwolf> !pastebin
[10:23] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.   I run an ubuntu gateway at my work, it provides inet access to the workstations.. usually when i come into work my boss is like the internet is not working low and behold when i check the workstations there is not inet connectivity, when i goto the gateway i push the monitor button and it just flashes as if it can't come on, so i have to hard reboot, it comes back up and everything is
[10:31] <dusty-work> fine.  This happens 4/5 days mon-fri.  I Have looked at the logs and can't see anything, the hardware is fine.. any ideas what could be causing this as i need to get to the bottom?
[10:32] <MasseR> Are you sure the hardware is fine?
[10:32] <adrenalin1983> Anyone have time to help me?

[10:34] <adrenalin1983> no worries
[10:34] <Slart> lulu: I don't think so.. you need at least a minimal startup system
[10:35] <lulu> sure?
[10:35] <Slart> lulu: ehh.. not 100%... but I'd be very surprised if there was a way
[10:35] <benwolf> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10455/

[10:36] <bcochofel> lulu: I believe every debian based distros
[10:36] <Slart> lulu: I guess, theoretically you could download a small program that sets up a partition for boot using perhaps.. java?.. but i've never seen nor heard anything about such a system

[10:37] <benwolf> so what?
[10:37] <Seveas> all you do is paste a url
[10:37] <Slart> does anyone here know of a linux distro you can install using only internet? ie without a cd to boot from.
[10:37] <benwolf> really?
[10:38] <Seveas> why do you expect help?
[10:38] <benwolf> u want me to paste 20 lines?
[10:38] <LOLZebra> ?
[10:38] <benwolf> wtf
[10:38] <Seveas> you might want to say what the problem is...
[10:38] <benwolf> at the end of day
[10:38] <benwolf> i have to paste the link
[10:38] <benwolf> and i did say what it iwas
[10:38] <benwolf> when i download apache2 from apt-get
[10:38] <benwolf> it downloads only 86kb
[10:38] <Seveas> so?
[10:39] <Seveas> apache2 is an empty package depending on the actual apache package
[10:39] <benwolf> so what/
[10:39] <finalbeta> You should be happy ;)
[10:39] <Seveas> so that was installed already

[10:42] <Seveas> Slart, kopete perhaps
[10:42] <Slart> thanks lulu and seveas.. I'll look into those
[10:43] <gn0me> Slart There is Miranda for Linux
[10:43] <Slart> gn0me: oh.. is that a new thing? never seen it available for linux before..
[10:44] <gn0me> Miranda for Linux was released in 2005, iirc
[10:45] <Slart> gn0me: hmm.. don't see any info on the official miranda site.. is it some kind of fork?
[10:46] <andeol> Hi! My nautilus folder views do not show file changes automatically - i need to refresh manually. Could this be gam_server related? I don't have a gam_server process running.
[10:47] <Slart> andeol: I don't have a gam_server process running either.. and my folders refresh automatically
[10:47] <sipior> andeol: i don't have one either, but it seems to work for me
[10:47] <bcochofel> well, anyone here can help me w my apache problem
[10:48] <andeol> Slart: okay, then that's probably not the problem then
[10:48] <Frogzoo> !anyone | bcochofel
[10:48] <ubotu> bcochofel: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:49] <nibbo> My mp3-player mounts as "read only"
[10:49] <Slart> gn0me: hmm.. it seems miranda for linux is just "run miranda using wine".. =/
[10:50] <gn0me> I've installed Ubuntu on VMware, made it as Guest OS, while Windows XP is my main OS, Ubuntu was working flawlessly, I can connect to internet etc, until today, I couldn't connect to the internet with my Ubuntu, I have "x" next to the connection on the notification area, but Windows XP works great with the internet, any idae plz?
[10:50] <gn0me> Slart My  bad, i thought it was released.
[10:51] <nibbo> what files determine if my mp3-player mounts as read only?
[10:51] <bcochofel> ubotu: I did and got no answer. But here it goes again: I can't seen to have accents on my apache served pages
[10:51] <Madpilot> nibbo, is it formatted w/ NTFS?
[10:51] <Slart> gn0me: no worries.. I just got excited at the thought of a native miranda for linux =)
[10:52] <sipior> gnomefreak: did you patch windows?
[10:52] <Slart> bcochofel: I'd check if it's some kind of codepage/language setting
[10:52] <sipior> bcochofel: don't bother replying to ubotu, he's cybernetic :)
[10:52] <Slart> bcochofel: and ubotu is a bot.. he's helpful in some ways but oh so stupid when it comes to conversation =)
[10:53] <mneptok> why Miranda and not GAIM?
[10:53] <bcochofel> Slart: I have my kbd correct and have my LANG var to pt
[10:53] <nibbo> Madpilot: nah, its a ipod, formatted and made to runt rockbox, witch i think is fat32. Rockbox makes it act like a normal usb-stick type mp3
[10:53] <bcochofel> thanks for the ubotu, didn't know
[10:53] <Slart> mneptok: because gaim works fine... if you want what gaim gives you.. not much you can change compared to miranda
[10:54] <desire> Slart can you help me with synpativ problem? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10453
[10:54] <Slart> bcochofel: no language/codepage settings in apache? I don't really remember, it's been a long time since I setup an apache server
[10:54] <Madpilot> nibbo, some sort of permissions error on mounting, then - not something I know much about, sorry. Someone else should be able to help you.
[10:55] <Slart> desire: from a quick look it seems like you've run into a bug.. I don't have a quick and easy answer for you.. sorry
[10:55] <bcochofel> Slart: don't know either, that's why I'm asking
[10:56] <nibbo> Madpilot: ok, thanks anyway :D
[10:56] <sipior> gnomefreak: did you patch windows?
[10:56] <Slart> bcochofel: ok, let me check my installation.. you can't get  and such to show?
Ooops! what a painful answer! But thank you anyway?
[10:56] <sipior> sorry, stupid xchat thinks it knows who i'm talking to better than i do...
[10:57] <Slart> bcochofel: or rather.. could you copy paste a small page that doesn't display right, in pastebin preferably
[10:57] <sipior> gnome: did you patch windows?
[10:57] <Slart> desire: there is probably some way to remove the package that isn't working.. but I'm not that good with the package system.. perhaps someone else is.. keep asking

[10:59] <gregors> guys I'm writing a script to install java6 with script on ubuntu how can I check in which repository I get make-jpkg-mustang ??
[10:59] <detectiveinspekt> how do I add intergal formulas in open office?
[11:00] <Dev1> first time user here, how can I tell that I've sucessfully installed nvidia drivers?
[11:00] <sipior> desire: i'd say try "apt-get -f" and see how that does
[11:00] <Slart> Dev1: you get a nice nvidia splash screen when starting X
[11:00] <Dev1> ah I see which I have not :/
[11:00] <Slart> Dev1: there are probably other ways too
[11:00] <detectiveinspekt> nevermind the window did not show
[11:01] <bcochofel> Slart: do you mean here or in apache? Here: , but in apache no good
[11:01] <gregors> detectiveinspekt, simple just use Insert->Object->Formule
[11:01] <Slart> bcochofel: aren't you trying to show some html-page using apache as a server?
[11:01] <gregors> And add a formula with Integral sign :)
[11:02] <detectiveinspekt> do you know how to insert logical operators also? like logical NAND?
[11:02] <gregors> I'm sure you will get enough special characters there detectiveinspekt
[11:03] <gregors> it's very good part of open office but you'll need some time to get used to it
[11:03] <Slart> grrr... I'm installing more and more KDE stuff on my gnome-machine.. if I keep this up I might as well run KDE full out.
[11:04] <bcochofel> Slart: yes, right
[11:04] <gregors> most efective editing of formula is by using text editing below I was writing some very large and complex formulas like that
[11:04] <tbf> how do i prevent ubuntu from clearing by shell history on startup?
[11:04] <Slart> bcochofel: is the page very big? can you paste it in the pastebin? just so I can try it on my local apache server.. see if I get the same thing here
[11:04] <tbf> this is not a pool machine, so killing the history is a real productivity killer
[11:05] <Madpilot> Gah. It seems only some Ubuntu apps talk to cups-pdf properly... and neither Firefox or Epiphany are among them...
[11:05] <gregors> how do I check package apt- repository origin ????
[11:05] <gregors> make-jpkg-mustang
[11:05] <Slart> gregors: have you tried looking at all the package info in synaptic?
[11:05] <gregors> Slart, well I did ....
[11:05] <bcochofel> Slart: yes, it has several frames. But I can try to get a smaller one
[11:06] <desire> thank you Slart! I wait here for someone who can resolve it.:)
[11:06] <phanter> is there an ubuntu feisty irc?
[11:06] <Slart> bcochofel: or if you can try creating a smaller page that still has the error.. that would be very useful
[11:06] <gregors> Slart, it says nothing about repository origin
[11:06] <tbf> Madpilot: dunno, maybe feisty will show some progress there - considering some gnome 2.18 apps switched to the printing framework of gtk
[11:06] <Madpilot> phanter, #ubuntu+1
[11:06] <Slart> gregors: hmm.. I'll take a look as soon as my synaptic is done installing
[11:07] <phanter> thanks

[11:07] <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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:07] <Madpilot> tbf, we can only hope. I'm currently trying Opera, because it's got the most complete/complex printer setup of any of the three browers I'm currently running...
[11:07] <gregors> Slart, ok
[11:07] <gregors> the thing is that I need to check this in a bash script
[11:07] <soundray> Is there a way to find out from a running kernel the boot options with which it was started?
[11:08] <desire> gregors,can you help me with my problem,http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10453
[11:08] <Slart> gregors: hmm.. what info do you need? the url for the package to download?
[11:08] <StoneNote> detectiveinspekt, you might want to check Open Office Documentation like OpenOffice.org HowTo: http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/formula/Formula_HowTo_1_0.pdf
[11:08] <gregors> exactly
[11:08] <andeol> after googling, searching forums and bugzillas I cannot find anyone having the same problem. Does anyone have an idea on what to do if nautilus views don't refresh automatically? I have a feeling my installation is borked somehow
[11:08] <gregors> I know just for trevino repository right now ...
[11:09] <bcochofel> Slart: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10458/
[11:09] <gregors> i need to check other repos if that package exists already Slart
[11:09] <tbf> Madpilot: well, and if the central printing dialog of gtk doesn't fill your needs, you always can leave constructive critism - which includes concrete use cases - on gnome's bugzilla
[11:10] <tbf> Madpilot: stressing it again: use-cases. as long as they are plausible and not too exotic there is not reason to not consider them
[11:11] <gregors> maybe I should ask this apt guys or something
[11:11] <sipior> tbf: is your HISTFILE environment variable set?
[11:11] <Madpilot> tbf, the use-case is pretty straightforward - output a given webpage as a multi-page PDF file. Actual implementation is proving harder than I thought it would be
[11:11] <nospi> hey+
[11:12] <tbf> sipior: yup it is, and during one session i have history -- but i want my history preserved during reboots
[11:12] <Slart> bcochofel: hmm.. I don't get accents either.. I'm thinking you'll have to specify your codepage in the html-file
[11:12] <sipior> tbf: and the .bash_history gets blown away at reboot? that's weird
[11:12] <Frogzoo> Madpilot: tried the cups PDF printer driver?
[11:12] <sipior> tbf: i did a quick grep of my /etc/rc.d and didn't notice anything that would do that
[11:13] <Madpilot> Frogzoo, that is cups-pdf, is it not?
[11:13] <sipior> tbf: besides it being generally bad policy for system scripts to touch user data :-)
[11:13] <tbf> sipior: duh, found the reason
[11:13] <sipior> tbf: don't keep me waiting, man :-)
[11:13] <Frogzoo> Madpilot: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/print-to-pdf-using-cups-pdf/
[11:13] <tbf> sipior: sometimes it already helps someone tells you it should not be like that
[11:13] <tbf> sipior: for some reason root owns my history file
[11:14] <sipior> tbf: hmm, that'd do it :-)
[11:14] <mneptok> tbf: you have to specify a history file in order for bash to use one
[11:14] <tbf> sipior: maybe i am doing sudo bash too often :-)
[11:14] <sipior> tbf: yeah, i think i'll go check mine now...
[11:15] <Madpilot> Frogzoo, nice. Bookmarked for tomorrow, thanks. How did it get to be past 0300 while I was messing with this, anyway?
[11:15] <bcochofel> Slart: that's my problem, with that page on another computer I get accents and I can't seen to figure out the difference
[11:15] <soundray> tbf: probably. Use sudo -i instead, then it'll write the history to /root/
[11:15] <mneptok> tbf: and when you exit bash after running sudo, guess wha'ppens? ;)
[11:15] <tbf> mneptok: already found the reason: i somehow managed it to give root ownership of my bash history
[11:15] <mneptok> tbf: sudo did that
[11:15] <sipior> mneptok: he knows :)
[11:15] <tbf> sipior: nah, i just supposed
[11:16] <Slart> bcochofel: ah.. fixed it... what kind of editor do you use to edit the html files?
[11:16] <tbf> sipior, mneptok: thanks
[11:16] <bcochofel> Slart: emacs
[11:17] <bcochofel> Slart: but has the latin-iso defined, and I can get accents on that
[11:17] <bcochofel> I just edit that page on emacs and works on the other pc
[11:17] <tbf> Madpilot: tried to talk to the kind guys at #epiphany of irc.gnome.org or to their bugzilla?
[11:17] <Slart> bcochofel: if you just start up gedit and select save.. you can chose between utf-8 or western character coding.. chose the later.. or perhaps you can specify that you use utf in the <head> section
[11:18] <Madpilot> tbf, not yet, but I'll file bugs when I've done a bit more poking around. I hate filing vague bugs.
[11:18] <mneptok> bcochofel: don't specify a charset. let the browser figure it out.
[11:18] <bcochofel> Slart: under emacs I'm not using UTF
[11:18] <mneptok> tbf: what's broken in Epi now?
[11:18] <bcochofel> mneptok: I'm not. Under one apache I get accents and on the other I don't
[11:18] <tbf> mneptok: Madpilot just has some ideas how to improve printing
[11:18] <Slart> bcochofel: then you'll have to ask emacs to play nice with your text files.. I think this is a character encoding problem..
[11:19] <Slart> bcochofel: I don't use emacs myself so I cant help you there
[11:19] <StoneNote> bcochofel, are you using firefox?
[11:19] <tbf> Madpilot: good attitude
[11:19] <bcochofel> StoneNote: yes, but what has firefox to do with apache config?
[11:19] <Madpilot> mneptok, I'm having some trouble with cups-pdf & various browsers, not sure if the problem is user error, browsers being dumb, or cups-pdf in Edgy at this point
[11:20] <bcochofel> Slart: if the problem was emacs I wasn't able to see the accents on the other pc either, right?
[11:21] <StoneNote> bcochofel, the long answer is: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/content-negotiation.html  the short answer is type "about:config" on a firefpx address bar and then "langauge" in  the filter and see if your firefox is set up to negotiate an ENGLISH session with apache web servers
[11:21] <bcochofel> Slart: other files that I have where edited with quanta by someone else
[11:21] <Slart> bcochofel: one other thing.. if you're not specifying what encoding the html file is , <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> , you can only use standard ascii I think.. which means no accents.. no  for swedes etc.. there are special codes for there &auml and such weirdness
[11:22] <soundray> Does a kernel store its boot options somewhere in the running system? /proc ?
[11:23] <tbf> soundray: /proc/cmdline
[11:23] <Slart> bcochofel: I guess you could setup your system to work for you but if you're going to show this to other people you'll have put this info in the html file.. so the reciever knows how to interpret the html source you're sending them
[11:23] <soundray> tbf: ah, thanks. I was looking deeper in the tree for some reason.

[11:24] <maverick> hey guys im trying to install java and im getting this error /usr/bin/fakeroot: 152: make-jpkg: not found
[11:24] <N3WB> Dosnt "Realtek PCI-E Gigabit Lan Connecter" Work with Ubuntu?
[11:25] <soundray> maverick: that program is provided by java-package. Do you have it installed?
[11:25] <Slart> bcochofel: I think you'll have to ask someone who knows html/web stuff if you want better explanations of this.. I don't think it's a matter of configuring your server in some special way
[11:25] <mneptok> maverick: why not just install it the right way/ ;)
[11:25] <bcochofel> Slart: well, I'm new to this site and was trying to fix this localy. The site it's on for a long time without problems
[11:26] <mneptok> maverick: use the package system. that's what it's there for.
[11:26] <Slart> bcochofel: I'll see if I can find some info on this for you.. hang on
[11:26] <bcochofel> Slart: for me I always include the encoding on the html files, and I know that's the right way, but I can change thousands of files now
[11:26] <maverick> mneptok, u assume im running the system with the package manager ;)
[11:26] <Slart> bcochofel: mm.. I see the problem..
[11:27] <N3WB> Dosnt "Realtek RTL8111B - Ethernet" work with Ubuntu?
[11:27] <mneptok> maverick: all Ubuntu installations have the package management tools
[11:28] <N3WB> Opz sorry for blod font
[11:29] <maverick> mneptok: lol, im use synaptic now
[11:29] <mneptok> and .... ?
[11:30] <Madpilot> tbf, mneptok - any idea where cups-pdf puts it's output files, by default? They aren't appearing in /$home...
[11:30] <z9999> We would like to be able to click on a file with a .txt extension and have it automatically open with gedit each time, not ask if we want to read or execute each time. Can we make gedit the default program to open all .txt files?
[11:30] <maverick> mneptok: although following ubuntu guide it says to use apt-get etc
[11:30] <xipietotec>  I'm having a hell of a problem, trying to make a new convert, and she finally got her wireless card "working" ( I use this in a very limited sense) but she can't seem to connect to anything http://rafb.net/p/7ljVlA44.html is the output from an ifup command
[11:30] <mneptok> Madpilot: /etc/cupspdf.conf (or somesuch)
[11:30] <bcochofel> Slart: well, this his even worse. I did put <meta ... charset..> and still I can't get accents
[11:30] <nospi> maverick, im from NSW, i just saw when you logged in it said optusnet.
[11:31] <mneptok> maverick: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install sun-java5-plugin
[11:31] <Slart> bcochofel: try using iso-8859-1 instead of utf-8
[11:32] <bcochofel> Slart: that's what I did.
[11:32] <tbf> Madpilot: not really. i am not that deep with printing.
[11:32] <bcochofel> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
[11:32] <Slart> bcochofel: still doesn't work? that's odd
[11:32] <bcochofel> Slart: that's my problem
[11:32] <Slart> bcochofel: and you put it in the <head> ?
[11:32] <xipietotec> or, alternatively, is there a way to find out the AP address of a wireless router from being plugged into it with an ethernet cord?
[11:33] <bcochofel> I believe my apache2 it's passing files has utf-8
[11:33] <bcochofel> Slart: yes, within <head> and </head>
[11:33] <nospi> is there a way to play .wma files in ubuntu>?
[11:33] <mneptok> xipietotec: iwlist scan
[11:34] <xipietotec> mneptok: ethernet cords do not support scanning
[11:34] <flaminguican> Is there any way to install ubuntu without all of the extra garbage?
[11:34] <Madpilot> mneptok, /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf actually - but output is set to /$home/PDF, which I just created, and still not seeing any output there... bug report in the morning, I guess...
[11:34] <mneptok> xipietotec: wireless cards do
[11:34] <xipietotec> see, she's getting nothing from scanning via the wireless card (which we're trying to set up, but I can't seem to explain AP to her) so I need some other method of finding out the AP address of her router
[11:34] <Madpilot> flaminguican, define "extra garbage"?
[11:35] <Slart> bcochofel: ok.. check the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf or similar
[11:35] <Slart> bcochofel: in that file is a section about default encoding
[11:35] <mneptok> xipietotec: my guess is that her card is not really set up
[11:35] <xipietotec> I *believe* her router firewall is blocking the machine.... http://rafb.net/p/7ljVlA44.html
[11:35] <flaminguican> Madpilot: I'd rather not have all of the games installed, or the "productivity" apps and such.  Basically, I just want a base system with drivers and a gui, no apps.
[11:35] <Slart> bcochofel: AddDefaultCharset to be more precise
[11:36] <maverick> well java is installed but not working in firefox
[11:36] <soundray> xipietotec: the errors you pasted point to a lower-level problem
[11:36] <mneptok> maverick: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install sun-java5-plugin
[11:36] <soundray> maverick: i386 system?
[11:36] <bcochofel> Slart: ok, I was trying to find that same thing
[11:36] <maverick> x64
[11:36] <Madpilot> flaminguican, Ubuntu server install + sudo aptitude install gnome?
[11:37] <mneptok> maverick: no plugin for you!
[11:37] <soundray> maverick: no firefox plugin for amd64
[11:37] <maverick> gar
[11:37] <c0nv1ct> maverick: why are you using x64?
[11:37] <flaminguican> Madpilot: heh, I tried that before.  But the server install uses an entirely different kernel, which doesn't support my wireless network card and such.
[11:37] <mneptok> maverick: no Flash, either
[11:37] <soundray> maverick: search the forums for Kilz's instructions for installing firefox32
[11:37] <tehxed> How do I tell if I have open source drivers installed for my ATI Radeon 9800SE in Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10?
[11:37] <xipietotec> mneptok: http://rafb.net/p/Cb9l1I47.html this is what iwconfig and ifconfig print out...supposedly the device is up
[11:37] <maverick> i got a 64 bit cpu. i plan to go to 32 bit once next version of ubuntu comes out
[11:38] <mneptok> xipietotec: are you using ndiswrapper or firmware injection?
[11:38] <c0nv1ct> 64bit is only useful if you have tons of ram, and have a need to run 64bit apps
[11:38] <maverick> well yea
[11:38] <xipietotec> mneptok: fwcutter yes
[11:38] <verwilst> is there a way to disable dbconfig-common?
[11:38] <maverick> it was a late nite lol when i installed it
[11:38] <soundray> c0nv1ct: that's not entirely accurate
[11:38] <mneptok> xipietotec: internal card or PCMCIA?
[11:39] <c0nv1ct> soundray: then why else would you install a 64bit OS?
[11:39] <xipietotec> internal
[11:39] <mneptok> grah.
[11:39] <Slart> bcochofel: here's another article discussing this http://www.webstandards.org/learn/articles/askw3c/dec2002/
[11:39] <maverick> hey wats the release data for next version of ubuntu btw??
[11:39] <soundray> c0nv1ct: you can benefit from 64 bit processing with as little as 256 MB RAM
[11:39] <c0nv1ct> soundray: that beneifit is minimal
[11:39] <bcochofel> Slart: got it right, thanks so very much
[11:39] <mneptok> xipietotec: i'm SO glad we don't support Broadcom ;)
[11:39] <c0nv1ct> soundray: and at the cost of limited compatability
[11:40] <soundray> c0nv1ct: it depends on what you use your computer for
[11:40] <daschl> lo guys
[11:40] <Slart> bcochofel: no problem.. you're welcome
[11:40] <c0nv1ct> soundray: exactly, if you are accessing huge databases, then maybe it'll be useful
[11:40] <xipietotec> mneptok: I'm trying to convert her, and I have a broadcom in my laptop, that I got working, I can't figure out why hers isn't working...oi
[11:41] <c0nv1ct> soundray: that is why i said "unless you have a need to run 64bit apps"
[11:41] <N3WB> Ubuntu = 2.6.
[11:41] <N3WB> Ubuntu = 2.6.* Kernel?
[11:41] <mneptok> xipietotec: turn off all encryption on the WAP for testing
[11:41] <N3WB> !kernel > N3WB
[11:41] <soundray> c0nv1ct: I was referring to the part of your statement about RAM
[11:41] <c0nv1ct> soundray: that was only part of my statement :)
[11:41] <maverick> anyone using feisty?
[11:41] <mneptok> maverick: tons of people
[11:41] <soundray> maverick: #ubuntu+1
[11:42] <Madpilot> tbf, thanks for the assist, I'm going to crash and keep poking at this in the morning.
[11:42] <Madpilot> g'night, all
[11:42] <soundray> c0nv1ct: which is why I said it wasn't entirely accurate
[11:42] <maverick> i mite install herd 5 over the top of this 64bit install
[11:42] <aimaz> i would be using feisty but the torrent doesn't work nor does the jigdo download and the last time i tried to download the ISO it was removed before i finished downloading it
[11:43] <maverick> fark its slow only 40kb a sec download
[11:43] <maverick> ahh thats better going over 100 now
[11:43] <xipietotec> mneptok: okay, having her do that
[11:43] <c0nv1ct> soundray: i guess my "and" should of been an "and/or" to be entirely accurate
[11:43] <Slart> gregors: sorry for the delay.. have you tried using "apt-cache show packagename"... it will give you a couple of lines of info.. there's one line starting with filename that ought to be useful
[11:43] <xipietotec> mneptok: okay, her response is that there is no encryption
[11:44] <gregors> Slart, I'll check that ....
[11:44] <gregors> thank you very much Slart
[11:45] <tehxed> How long should I wait until I repost my question?
[11:46] <xipietotec> mneptok: evidently at one point her router spat out: Thu Mar 15 01:34:15 2007 1 Blocked by DoS protection <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:46] <desire> anyone can resolve my problem please? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10453/
[11:46] <soundray> tehxed: run 'grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf'. If you have a line containing 'ati', that's the open source driver.
[11:46] <soundray> tehxed: the binary one is fglrx
[11:47] <mneptok> xipietotec: talk to the router people
[11:47] <soundray> tehxed: also, try glxinfo
[11:47] <triplc> hi all, i've just install timidity; i need to add a soundfont (sf2) to replace the current (freepats) tone 24 (guitar) but i do not know how to do it. the soundfont file is downloaded but if i use "soundfont ...." directive in timidity.cfg, it simply change the tone 1 (piano). can anyone please help. i am sorry for asking about timidity here, but i do not know timidity channel. google does not have answer (sorry)
[11:47] <Slart> tehxed: if you post a question and noone answers it probably means noone knows the answer.. so wait until a number of new people has come in or until you think a couple of the sleepy ones here are awake.. I'd say about 5 minutes is enough
[11:47] <tehxed> soundray: I see a line that says ati..! Thank you.
[11:47] <tehxed> Slart: Thank you. I'll keep that in mind for future reference.
[11:48] <Gurpartap> accidentally changed download server in software sources to "Server for United States". And lost the option for own country. What's the way to get back to server for my own countryZ?
[11:48] <Gurpartap> s/countryZ/country/
[11:48] <AndrewWilliams> Gurpartap, edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:49] <Gurpartap> oh right thanks
[11:49] <AndrewWilliams> change any .us to your two letter country code
[11:49] <AndrewWilliams> then do a apt-get update
[11:49] <bullgard4> What means 'raw binary'? Synaptic writes under 'acpidump': "utilities to dump system's ACPI tables to an ASCII file. This package contains a small collection of utilities ACPI system tables:* acpidump: to dump tables, * acpixtract: to convert ASCII acpidump output to raw binary; * acpitbl: to dump the table header or contents of a raw ACPI table. Note: Upstream package is called pmtools."
[11:49] <DavidHKMrPowers> i want to know the number of logins in gmail/yahoo/hotmail per day
[11:49] <soundray> Gurpartap: best to exit synaptic before you edit sources.list
[11:49] <desire> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10453/ anyone can help me?Please!
[11:50] <AndrewWilliams> or, just change it back in the Software Sources panel
[11:50] <voltagex> netinstaller has halted on "Setting Up the Clock"
[11:51] <Gurpartap> voltagex, similar thing happened in livecd install too, way is don't set time while installation, change it later on
[11:51] <Gurpartap> and for now restart installation
[11:52] <voltagex> uhh, does that mean I have to download everything again?
[11:53] <desire> can I reinstall my system UBuntu through internet?
[11:53] <Gurpartap> don't know any way, someone else might have a solution
[11:53] <Gurpartap> desire, ask voltagex
[11:53] <Gurpartap> :)
[11:53] <shilpi> hi how do i install gnu make
[11:53] <jrib> shilpi: install build-essential
[11:53] <Gurpartap> build-essential
[11:53] <jrib> !compiling | shilpi
[11:53] <ubotu> shilpi: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[11:54] <soundray> desire: what do you want to do now? Fix the packaging error or reinstall?
[11:54] <Gurpartap> shilpi, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[11:54] <desire> Voltagex, can I reinstall my system through Internet with eth0?
[11:54] <shilpi> ok i';ll try that thanks :)
[11:54] <razzorz> Morning all
[11:55] <Tricore> Hey
[11:55] <razzorz> is there a yahoo protocal chat program for ubunto
[11:55] <desire> soundray if I can fix the package, then I need not to reinstall anymore
[11:55] <tehxed> I get a line that says "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b" when I do "glxinfo | grep direct" in terminal. I'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy#head-9be938b13755765a0351ab019a5aab89a3ec1114   to install Beryl on my Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10 (64bit). It says if I get "direct rendering: Yes", my video card should work. Do I still have to modify that xorg.conf (for 'Enable compo
[11:55] <tehxed> siting in X')  with the information listed (for ATI) in that guide?
[11:55] <Tricore> Is it possible to play Apple Lossless Format encoded audio files under Ubuntu ?
[11:55] <soundray> desire: please pastebin the contents of /tmp/texlive.fmtutil.sZqn7150
[11:56] <razzorz> guess thats a no....
[11:56] <desire> soundray, how?
[11:56] <cwillu> can anyone tell me offhand what a typical power consumption of an idle low-end workstation would be?  (400mhz'ish, one hd)
[11:56] <soundray> desire: run 'cat /tmp/texlive.fmtutil.sZqn7150' and do the same as you did with your other post on pastebin.
[11:56] <voltagex> cwillu: Official Aussie power rating: bugger all
[11:56] <SubMOA> how come './configure" isn't found?
[11:57] <cafuego_> What arch? What disk?
[11:57] <cwillu> voltagex, and if I have 6?  running 24/7?
[11:57] <soundray> SubMOA: it's not in the current directory
[11:57] <voltagex> cwillu: bugger all x6
[11:57] <desire> soundray, thank you! I go to paste it
[11:57] <cwillu> voltagex, I'm trying to convince people that my 6headed monstrosity might or might not be saving power
[11:57] <mneptok> SubMOA: because there's no such file in the pwd?
[11:57] <Tricore> Is it possible to play Apple Lossless Format encoded audio files under Linux ?
[11:57] <SubMOA> hmm
[11:57] <voltagex> cwillu: sorry, I don't know enough to be serious
[11:57] <razzorz> lol cwillu
[11:57] <soundray> cwillu: 30 to 50 W without monitor
[11:57] <cwillu> voltagex, is that a bigger all, or just half a deca-bugger?
[11:58] <SubMOA> wherre would it be?  I tried it in my home folder and in "/"
[11:58] <cwillu> soundray, at idle?  k, thanks
[11:58] <cafuego_> cwillu: 6 400Mhz old crufty machines would certainly eat more power then a single modern 3GHz one
[11:58] <cwillu> cafuego, that's what I'm hoping
[11:58] <kmeng> hello
[11:58] <kmeng> df
[11:58] <gn0me> I've installed Ubuntu on VMware, made it as Guest OS, while Windows XP is my main OS, Ubuntu was working flawlessly, I can connect to internet etc, until today, I couldn't connect to the internet with my Ubuntu, I have "x" next to the connection on the notification area, but Windows XP works great with the internet, any idae plz?
[11:58] <TheInfinity> hmm ... in 6.10 theres an known cyrus error - something like
[11:58] <TheInfinity> Mar 11 18:48:18 landwege-server cyrus/notify[5813] : incorrect version of Berkeley db: compiled against 4.3.29, linked against 4.4.20
[11:58] <TheInfinity> Mar 11 18:48:18 landwege-server cyrus/notify[5813] : Fatal error: wrong db version
[11:58] <voltagex> cafuego: ah, I forgot older PSUs are more likely to be inefficient
[11:58] <cafuego_> cwillu: The old PSUs probably lose more power than a new box uses when idle.
[11:58] <razzorz> ok am i way off base.. can ubunto get voice for chat?
[11:59] <TheInfinity> the bug is known since october, when is it possible to get a fix?
[11:59] <cafuego_> voltagex: And odler disks eat more power
[11:59] <SubMOA> razzorz, my distro (edgy) came with ekigia (sp?)
[11:59] <razzorz> yes ok..
[11:59] <cwillu> TheInfinity, you can probably compile your own version (usually not too hard), or see if somebody's packaged a 4.4 deb anywhere
[12:00] <razzorz> i kinda lookin for a yahoo chat protocal client
[12:00] <voltagex> cafuego_: hmm, interesting. You'd think with the amount of heat the core 2 duos put out they'd burn more, same with 10k rpm drives
[12:00] <gregors> Hmm one question is wget in ubuntu by default ??????
[12:00] <TheInfinity> how to find it cwillu?
[12:00] <SubMOA> I use that... I THINK you can integrate most popular chat clients with it... it may be a nother, thogh... openwegno is supposedly good, but I can't get it to work
[12:00] <razzorz> whats chances?
[12:00] <razzorz> ok
[12:00] <cafuego_> voltagex: new bearings, less drag
[12:00] <SubMOA> razzorz, not certain of the yahoo thing
[12:00] <SubMOA> one sec
[12:00] <razzorz> i c
[12:00] <razzorz> sure i will be here
[12:00] <mneptok> razzorz: GAIM
[12:00] <cwillu> TheInfinity, google for that name + debian OR ubuntu OR deb, or go to the db's homepage, and look for compilation instructions
[12:00] <mneptok> razzorz: already installed
[12:00] <voltagex> cafuego_: oh, do you mean a drive that is x years old will use less power than the same model that is x+2 years old?
[12:01] <desire> Soundray I have pasted it! http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10460/
[12:01] <razzorz> yes but no chat rooms nor voice
[12:01] <cafuego_> CPU wise, a 400 MHz P3 uses just under half the power a current AMD64 uses
[12:01] <gregors> Hmm one question is wget in ubuntu by default anyone ???
[12:01] <voltagex> cafuego_: but can support far less users than a 3ghz machine
[12:01] <cafuego_> exactly
[12:01] <SubMOA> razzorz, http://www.phrozensmoke.com/projects/pyvoicechat/
[12:01] <SirOSOriS> did u know that australia is an evil place to be?
[12:01] <cafuego_> a P4 eats more power then god
[12:01] <cwillu> gregors, believe so
[12:02] <SubMOA> have you seen that razzorz
[12:02] <razzorz> ty i will look
[12:02] <cwillu> cafuego, conveniently, I'm just replacing 166
[12:02] <cwillu> bah
[12:02] <soundray> desire: how much memory do you have in your machine?
[12:02] <cafuego_> SirOSOriS: No, they didn't advrtise that on the immigration form.
[12:02] <gregors> ok
[12:02] <voltagex> cafuego_: so if you were going to get anal about it, it would be less power per user
[12:02] <cwillu> 166's-400's with a single 1ghz
[12:02] <desire> Soundray 256M
[12:02] <mneptok> razzorz: uhhhh .... GAIM does Y! chat
[12:02] <cafuego_> voltagex: The new machine? Yes, that's the idea :-)
[12:02] <voltagex> cafuego_: we're evil buggers, strewth, stone the crows we're evil
[12:02] <shilpi> when i type this in terminal :sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:02] <_JP> hi. i'm creating a .deb package with checkinstall. i'm able to add required package dependencies with "--requires=blaa" but how do i specify the required version? "--requires=blaa>=1.2.3" doesn't work; the version is not taken into account by checkinstall but an empty file called "=1.2.3" is created in cwd
[12:02] <shilpi> i get

[12:02] <shilpi> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:02] <SubMOA> mneptok, he want's voice chat
[12:02] <shilpi> sudo timestamp too far in future

[12:03] <Gurpartap> ubuntu repos are slow today?
[12:03] <mneptok> SirOSOriS: i told you once about #ubuntu-offtopic. this is your last reminder.
[12:03] <SirOSOriS> dont you know what ubuntu means?
[12:03] <SirOSOriS> i am on topic
[12:04] <SirOSOriS> unless ur evil too
[12:04] <apokryphos> SirOSOriS: stop.
[12:04] <soundray> desire: it fails apparently because you are compiling to many language related TeX items. Do you really need mongolian, finnish and all that stuff?
[12:04] <apokryphos> SirOSOriS: this is a *support* channel. #ubuntu-offtopic is the place for general chatter.
[12:04] <Gurpartap> SirOSOriS, u r disturbed, control please, we all sympathize u
[12:04] <shilpi> GNU make is not present in ubuntu repositories ..i enabled all repositories .. i'musing 6.06
[12:04] <cafuego_> telstra user, kinda like aol, except worse
[12:04] <Menasim1> when I want to install a packege it will tell me E: Couldn't find package audacity
[12:04] <SirOSOriS> not in australia Gurpartap
[12:05] <cafuego_> thx mneptok
[12:05] <desire> Soundray, In fact I have not chosen them. and I have tried to remove them. but they just like king come back and back again
[12:05] <voltagex> go mnetpok
[12:05] <apokryphos> Menasim1: then you haven't got all the necessary repos, or you're typing the package name wrong. See the FAQ in /topic
[12:05] <cafuego_> Honestly, if someone here *would* torture such morons I think we'd all be happier ;-)
[12:06] <cwillu> I love power saving websites that compare what a computer uses at 100 usage with what it uses in suspend mode
