[03:24] <GaiaX11> I am trying to connect to a ubuntu laptop throught a WindowsXP (putty) using ssh, but i get this message: "no route to host". What's this? any help?
[03:25] <gavin> i'm trying to compile a project a friend is having me take over... he thinks i'm lacking glibc since i got an error on /sys/include/time or something
[03:25] <DarkTower> GaiaX11: Make sure networking is set up correctly, same subnet, name resolution etc
[03:25] <NigelS> GaiaX11: it means there's a problem with your network basically
[03:25] <Managu> gavin: (iirc) glibc = libc6
[03:25] <Beforewisdom> anyone what are the big features in gnome 3?
[03:25] <skippy81> GaiaX11, is there a router between you and the linux host
[03:26] <Managu> gavin: or rather, glibc2 = libc6
[03:26] <DarkTower> skippy81: not necessarily
[03:26] <gavin> managu: thanks, i hoped as much. i have libc6 installed but couldn't find glibc anywhere. thought i was going insane
[03:26] <GaiaX11> skippy81, No. There isn't
[03:26] <Managu> gavin: there aren't many linux distributions these days which don't use glibc
[03:26] <skippy81> GaiaX11:  ping the linux host, use nmap if you can
[03:27] <Masqy> how can  I add a dns server to /etc/ppp/resolv.conf without disconnecting ?
[03:27] <DarkTower> GaiaX11: its a networking problem, insure same subnet and name resolution
[03:27] <Masqy> and can someone send o'er his dns server ?
[03:29] <PerceptualChaos> caskey, I tried the first command and it didn't fix the problem. Trying the second one now: "find /home/foo -type d -exec chmod 0770 {} \; ; find /home/foo -type f -exec chmod 0660 {} \; ;" but its giving me shit saying exec has no arguments
[03:29] <GaiaX11> Let me explain the problem better. I am at home and my friend is in another house not far from here. He is running a WindowsXP and have 2 ubuntu laptops in his house and i want to access the laptops from my home throught my ubuntu machine.
[03:29] <gavin> gaia do you have ports open at your friend's router?
[03:29] <PerceptualChaos> do I need quotes in there somewhere?
[03:29] <skippy81> GaiaX11:  surely those laptops are behind a router then
[03:29] <DarkTower> GaiaX11: OMG lol, you said there was no router between you
[03:29] <PerceptualChaos> sorry, my bash skills are not wonderful
[03:30] <DarkTower> GaiaX11: DO you actually know what a router is
[03:30] <cocox> anyone knows the best bandwidth manager for linux ???? i wanna try some...
[03:30] <Masqy> brb....
[03:30] <gui> I don't understand why mplayer requires XMMS.. can anyone explain me that??
[03:30] <skippy81> GaiaX11:  you will have to set up the router to port forward port 23 to a local IP
[03:30] <Healot> gui: it doesn't
[03:31] <kapput1> Are there any settings I can change to minimize the visual effects and improve performance?
[03:31] <Healot> cocox: tried mtr?
[03:31] <gui> Healot: well, but XMMS was installed and now I can't remove it, unless I remove mplayer as well
[03:31] <tomek_> K, heres the questuion: what kind of (speed mattrrs) internet connection you consider "decent"?
[03:31] <kholerabbi> Can I update gnome with breezy 5.1?
[03:31] <skippy81> GaiaX11:  you will probably have to set up ssh on one of the laptops to use another port than 23, that way you can forward 23 to one laptop and port x to another
[03:31] <GaiaX11> I went to his house and I configured the machines and i can connect to the laptops through his windows. But, from my house I can't. So ...
[03:32] <skippy81> yeah its because he has only ONE ip address : the router
[03:32] <planetcall> DarkTower, Hey buddy thanks for revelation. I found an older version in repository not having any tray applet :(  Do you enter Site address, username and passwords manually ?
[03:32] <PerceptualChaos> oh damn, caskey is not here anymore, can somone else answer my question?
[03:32] <skippy81> so you will have to set up his router to forward that traffic to the correct machines
[03:32] <Healot> gui: could you output the uninstall message?
[03:32] <tomek_> as for me, Id say 1Mb.
[03:33] <[1] Troy> Hi all.  New user.
[03:33] <PerceptualChaos> I changed my permissions on my home directory and caskey suggested using: find /home/foo -type d -exec chmod 0770 {} \; ; find /home/foo -type f -exec chmod 0660 {} \; ;
[03:33] <skippy81> PerceptualChaos:  what were you trying to do
[03:33] <gui> Healot, here it is;        mplayer-386 depends on xmms (>= 1.2.10+cvs20050209);
[03:33] <gavin> another question guys: i'm currently using vnc to use my ubuntu install from my windows desktop. is there a faster way to do this? the screen lags quite a bit
[03:34] <PerceptualChaos> it gives me an error saying missing argument to exec
[03:34] <skippy81> are you basically trying to do a recusive chmod? PerceptualChaos
[03:34] <[1] Troy> I was about to reinstall breezy tonight, but with dapper coming out in couple of days, should I wait?  Or install Dapper RC and update?
[03:34] <ion3lunix> I'd install the Dapper RC and update.
[03:34] <gui> [1] Troy; I would wait until thursday :)
[03:35] <skippy81> [1] Troy:  install dapper now :)
[03:35] <PerceptualChaos> skippy81, yes - I previously did a recursive a+rwx chmod on my home folder and I'm trying to take it back to the default
[03:35] <[1] Troy> kk thx.
[03:35] <gui> Healot,so any ideas?
[03:36] <[1] Troy> didn't know if there is much differnce between RC install and update, or wait for clean install
[03:36] <DarkTower> planetcall: Your welcome. At the moment thats what i do becuase i use it for more than just web passwords. You may be able to do it automatically, or another tool will, but i;m not fmaily with them sorry.
[03:36] <PerceptualChaos> right now I just want to try out the command suggested but I'm not sure if I need some double quotes in there somewhere cause bash isn't parsing it
[03:36] <sg47_> how much space does Xubuntu require if I already have Gubuntu?
[03:37] <ion3lunix> About a terabyte (I'm guessing)?
[03:37] <xnull> hey I`m trying to install the new ubuntu and after he almost starts. the monitor remains black
[03:37] <PerceptualChaos> I don't really understand the command
[03:37] <skippy81> PerceptualChaos:  here is an example of a simple recursive chmod which affects only directories: sudo chmod 755 `find /path -type d`
[03:37] <skippy81> maybe the use of quotes will help you
[03:37] <sg47_> ion3lunix, cut the crap
[03:38] <capgadget> xubuntu probably doesn't take that much.  You are just adding the xfce packages.  They aren't large.
[03:38] <xnull> hey I`m trying to install the new ubuntu and after he almost starts. the monitor remains black : any ideea?
[03:38] <ion3lunix> To reset permissions on your home directory, try these two commands:   sudo find /home/username -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;   and    sudo find /home/username -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;
[03:38] <jm334> The package xxx needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:38] <jm334> i am getting this error when i am trying apt-get -f install
[03:39] <skippy81> PerceptualChaos:  read this link http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=178706&highlight=recursive+chmod
[03:39] <jm334> how can i remove that package?
[03:39] <tomek_> how can i log on as root?
[03:39] <ion3lunix> jm334: sudo dpkg --purge packagename
[03:39] <skippy81> scroll down, you will see different ways of doing it
[03:39] <Healot> sudo su tomek_
[03:39] <jm334> ion3lunix, doesnt work
[03:39] <jm334> same error
[03:39] <Masquarade> ?
[03:40] <ion3lunix> jm334: can you pastebin the relevant errors?
[03:40] <jm334> where does apt save its database?
[03:40] <jm334> ion3lunix, hold on
[03:40] <xnull> WHY i can`t install the new dapper.i got my monitor black when he almost starts X
[03:40] <seek> How do you disable the DVD/CD Creator in GNOME?  I need to use k3b and it keeps messing k3b up
[03:40] <ion3lunix> xnull: what graphics card do you have?
[03:41] <skippy81> xnull, use recovery mode and fiddle with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:41] <sg47_> gcc isn't installed by default?
[03:41] <defendguin_> why all of a sudden did vmware-player get accepted?
[03:41] <ion3lunix> sg47_: it's not, aptitude install build-essential to get compilers
[03:41] <planetcall> sg47_, yes
[03:41] <tomek_> i know "su", but i cant log on as root  from like the welcome screen,
[03:42] <skippy81> sg47_:  if your using breezy you will need to use gcc 3.4 to compile kernel modules
[03:42] <admin__> sup
[03:42] <skippy81> tomek_:  no, but you can enable it i believe
[03:42] <NigelS> tomek_: there is no root user by default, ubuntu uses sudo
[03:42] <ion3lunix> tomek_: you're not meant to log in as root with a graphical interface, since it's easier to mess up your system. If you'd still like to, however, sudo passwd root to set root's password, then do it.
[03:42] <jm334> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14847
[03:42] <sg47_> the kernel upgrade didn't work
[03:42] <jm334> ion3lunix,

[03:43] <andrejkw> rever: liblame-dev
[03:43] <ion3lunix> jm334: did you install xandros packages earlier from somewhere? how'd you get that package on your system?
[03:43] <intelikey> tomek_ gdm controls who can login at the "gdm' welcome screen"  /etc/gdm/*  maybe,,, i don't recall.
[03:43] <skippy81> oh i see, ok how har have you got?

[03:44] <jm334> tried to install
[03:44] <jm334> but now cant get it working
[03:44] <planetcall> maikol, apt-get install kde-desktop  to install kde incase you dont like to use gnome
[03:45] <intelikey> tomek_ there is a gui methood to enable root login also
[03:45] <ion3lunix> maikol: consider XFCE4 instead of gnome or kde on a pc with 64mb ram
[03:45] <maikol> planetcall, i would prefer kde, but any desktop is too much for 64mb ram
[03:45] <xnull> do I have a option for non-grafical-mode?
[03:45] <KarlsBerg> hello,
[03:45] <maikol> ion3lunix, where can i get that
[03:45] <KarlsBerg> anybody have a laptop packard bell easynote ?
[03:45] <DarkTower> maikol: xfce is very light will prob work on that
[03:45] <sg47_> how do I upgrade to Dapper from Breezy?
[03:45] <ion3lunix> maikol: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop
[03:45] <skippy81> yes, xnull either use control-alt-F1 - F6 or boot in recovery mode
[03:45] <planetcall> some suggest xfce and fluxbox etc
[03:45] <planetcall> you may try
[03:45] <DarkTower> maikol: or just type server at the install
[03:45] <xnull> skppy81: http://releases.ubuntu.com/dapper/ubuntu-6.06-rc-desktop-i386.iso this one I download..
[03:45] <maikol> ion3lunix, and to remove gnome?
[03:46] <Capso> Where can I find the tarball for the mesa head used with xorg-air ?
[03:46] <intelikey> xnull " do I have a option for non-grafical-mode? "   man update-rc.d    and turn off gdm   if that is what you mean.
[03:46] <KarlsBerg> anybody have a laptop packard bell easynote (for active swith wireless hotkey)?
[03:46] <PerceptualChaos> skippy81, ion3lunix, it says:
[03:46] <ion3lunix> maikol: the easiest way is to use aptitude (or synaptic) and just uninstall the gnome packages that you can see
[03:47] <Brydenn33> can someone help me auto mount my windows HD?
[03:47] <PerceptualChaos> find: missing argument to -exec
[03:47] <sg47_> a question about rdesktop. Why does the resolution look like crap?
[03:47] <maikol> ion3lunix, ok. and what do i edit to run something at startup
[03:47] <ion3lunix> xnull: you should go to a virtual terminal with control-alt-f1, then from there install the binary ati drivers for your card and restart gdm with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[03:47] <intelikey> !tell Brydenn33 about ntfs
[03:47] <zanth> good day, I just upgraded to dd and xserver is fubard
[03:48] <zanth> nvidia 6800gt here
[03:48] <Brydenn33> !tell Brydenn about ntfs
[03:48] <skippy81> PerceptualChaos:  how big is your home directory? if its not massive you could just do "gksudo nautilus" and edit the access permissions graphically
[03:48] <KarlsBerg> anybody have a laptop packard bell easynote (for active swith wireless hotkey)?
[03:48] <ion3lunix> Brydenn33: pm me for help mounting your windows drive
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> packard bell? Egads how old is that thing?
[03:48] <PerceptualChaos> I'm trying to do it from bash - in recovery mode
[03:48] <skippy81> oh i see
[03:48] <PerceptualChaos> skippy81
[03:49] <PerceptualChaos> because it seems to be making my system unstable
[03:49] <PerceptualChaos> Error: Temporary failure in name resolution
[03:49] <PerceptualChaos> then: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=156003067&size=o
[03:49] <ion3lunix> PerceptualChaos: instead of the -exec flag, you can do find /whatever -type d | xargs rm -rf
[03:49] <tomek_> i wonder why login as root is not  allowed default - know the password - go ahead, log in, cant see a reason to disavle it..
[03:50] <KarlsBerg> anybody have a laptop packard bell easynote (for active swith wireless hotkey)?
[03:50] <ion3lunix> tomek_: you can more easily mess up your system than if you just provide the password when you need it and run as a regular user the rest of the time
[03:50] <hyphenated> tomek_: how many reasons do you want?
[03:50] <skippy81> PerceptualChaos: im not much of a bash expert, but you could join the #bash channel and see if they can help - they probably know the command you want off by heart
[03:51] <skippy81> just explain to them what you want to chmod the files too and they should be able to give you a command to copy and paste
[03:51] <Capso> Hey... could someone quickly help me find a tarball of the xserver-xorg-air-core package?
[03:51] <PerceptualChaos> thanks
[03:51] <skippy81> im afraid chmoding is one of those things i can only get my head around when im actally trying to do it if you know what i mean
[03:51] <intelikey> tomek_ the 'ubuntu' way is "use only sudo"  don't argue with it.  if you don't like it just ignore it and do it your way.  this is linux after all.
[03:51] <skippy81> sorry im not a lot of help PerceptualChaos
[03:52] <planetcall> Any help on this    checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[03:52] <ion3lunix> PerceptualChaos: pm me if you're still stuck
[03:52] <PerceptualChaos> :) pointing someone to the right place to get help is indeed help! Thanks skippy81 and ion3lunix
[03:52] <skippy81> :)
[03:52] <ion3lunix> good luck
[03:53] <grndslm> tomek_, why have a root user when you can type "sudo -s" and get a root shell without having to incessantly type sudo before every su command
[03:53] <skippy81> yeah let us know how it goes, theres 200 people in bash channel so you should have luck
[03:53] <matti> tomek_: :-)
[03:53] <disinterested_pe> i cant find where the mozilla plugins went ive installed them
[03:53] <intelikey> skippy81 what's the question ?   i might know.
[03:53] <matti> tomek_: Usmiechnij sie i przyzwyczaj do sudo.
[03:53] <disinterested_pe> mplayer plugins
[03:54] <matti> tomek_: A jezeli to malo, to masz sudo -s -H, albo po prostu sobie zmien haslo na root-a.
[03:54] <matti> tomek_: :-)
[03:54] <skippy81> intelikey:  PerceptualChaos wanted to perform a recursive chmod on his home directory, to try and restore the permissions to how they all are by default
[03:54] <tomek_> i know, just drives me nuts I cant do what exactly ever i want with MY system
[03:54] <ion3lunix> tomek_: Who invented the computer?
[03:55] <kapputu> how do I install all that crap for playing mp3s?
[03:55] <BioVorE> !restricted
[03:55] <ubotu> well, restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[03:55] <ion3lunix> kapputu: breezy or dapper?
[03:55] <xnull> ubuntu rullz
[03:55] <kapputu> breezy
[03:55] <matti> xnull: Indeed.
[03:55] <kapputu> I want to upgrade to Dapper RC actually
[03:55] <ion3lunix> xnull: Hells yea!
[03:56] <casanova_> when exactly does dapper come to the update repositories?
[03:56] <ion3lunix> kapputu: sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.8-mad
[03:56] <skippy81> can someone explain this bot thing to me please? does using " ! " trigger it to say stuff to save you typing?
[03:56] <Dr_Willis> !bot
[03:56] <ubotu> Yep, that's me! I'm a bot alright. Read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage to find out how to use me. Do NOT play with me in any channel except #debian-bots.
[03:56] <casanova_> the /. says it's 1. june
[03:57] <matti> !help
[03:57] <Dr_Willis> skippy81,  A+ man. :P you got it
[03:57] <intelikey> skippy81 a find string would be the best for that. PerceptualChaos " find $HOME -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; ;find $HOME -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;   "
[03:57] <skippy81> :)
[03:57] <matti> skippy81: Use !help ;]
[03:57] <skippy81> !help
[03:57] <ion3lunix> casanova_: dapper is already in the repositories, you just have to upgrade to it to start using it. it's still in "development" until june 1, the set release date, at which point a final .iso will come out.
[03:57] <skippy81> cool :)
[03:57] <matti> skippy81: Yeaahh :)
[03:57] <kapputu> ion3lunix, isn't there something called as easyubuntu or something?
[03:57] <casanova_> aha
[03:57] <matti> But, the ZoomCities is a bit spammy?
[03:58] <matti> Hm...
[03:58] <ion3lunix> intelikey: i suggested that same incantation, the trouble is that i think he's using busybox or some shell from a recovery console... not sure why it's not working
[03:58] <rendo> Does anyone know of a tool that can be used to convert .dmg files to .iso?
[03:58] <Dr_Willis> rendo,  good luck on that. YOu are refering to OS-X dmg files correct?
[03:58] <grndslm> are there ever updated isos released after the release date....or do you have to upgrade packages over the net after release date?
[03:58] <ion3lunix> rendo: http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/
[03:58] <kapputu> how do I modify network settings to access my windows network?
[03:58] <intelikey> ion3lunix maybe a sudo in the -exec would help
[03:58] <tomek_> can you make it so that youre able to log in as root?
[03:59] <kapputu> and what's the nautilus equivalent in xfce?
[03:59] <rendo> Good luck?  Is it near impossible todo? :/
[03:59] <skippy81> intelikey:  that would make sense, since it was on exec it was failing i think
[03:59] <ion3lunix> kapputu: easyubuntu does exist. overall, it's better to know what it does and understand the reasons rather than just click around blindly, however, it does do the job for many purposes
[03:59] <skippy81> i sent him to #bash for help
[03:59] <joel> First time ever using, intslling lunix very cool I am using kdesktop
[03:59] <intelikey> ZoomCities spam not apriecated around here.  thanks.
[03:59] <ion3lunix> joel: i like lunix too
[03:59] <ion3lunix> joel: It's so solar(is)
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> kapputu,  you mean the file manager? xffm4 i think is its name
[04:00] <ion3lunix> joel: or should i say lunar?
[04:00] <kapputu> ion3lunix, I have a good idea as to what it does since I used to install these stuff before
[04:00] <Brydenn33> ion3lunix: you gonna help me?
[04:00] <ion3lunix> kapputu: i often have look at the easyubuntu script and just used the ideas from it to install things on my own
[04:00] <intelikey> PerceptualChaos " find $HOME -type d -exec sudo chmod 755 {} \; ;find $HOME -type f -exec sudo chmod 644 {} \; ;sudo chown -R $HOME  "
[04:00] <grndslm> tomek_....go read this: http://www.krazypenguin.net/Ubuntu_Dapper_Drake_6.06_Guide
[04:00] <ion3lunix> brydenn33: yup
[04:00] <halibut> if I install the beta version now, how easy will it be to upgrade to final on the 1st of june?
[04:00] <Brydenn33> thank you ion3lunix
[04:00] <intelikey> PerceptualChaos " find $HOME -type d -exec sudo chmod 755 {} \; ;find $HOME -type f -exec sudo chmod 644 {} \; ;sudo chown -R `whoami` $HOME  "
[04:00] <intelikey> ooops
[04:00] <HillTop> kapputu, looks like Thunar is tehfile manager in Xubuntu
[04:01] <casanova_> xbuntu is quite a weird setup
[04:01] <kapputu> I'm not able to see one of my windows machine from ubuntu whereas I can from my XP setup on this machine
[04:01] <grndslm> anybody in here running mythtv?  specifically....on a separate backend and frontend?
[04:01] <tomek_> what makes it slow? ubuntu itself or the "know-to-be-slow" gnome?
[04:02] <casanova_> i'd rather make that sort of an installation from the debian tree just using apt-get in the console, but i'm me
[04:02] <ubuntu> hello
[04:02] <ion3lunix> halibut: 100% easy... just use aptitude or synaptic to do an upgrade and dist-upgrade and you'll be running the final stuff when it comes out on june 1
[04:02] <grndslm> tomek_, what's slow for you?
[04:02] <ion3lunix> ubuntu: hi ubuntu, i think you're a great OS~!
[04:02] <kapputu> I'm not able to see one of my windows machine from ubuntu whereas I can from my XP setup on this machine
[04:02] <ion3lunix> kapputu: can you ping the windows machine from a console? does it respond?
[04:03] <skippy81> lol hello ubuntu :)
[04:03] <kapputu> ion3lunix, I can
[04:03] <tomek_> grndsl: just about anything,, seems like twice as long as winXP... old Duron 650 mhz here
[04:03] <kapputu> I can't find an address bar in the XFCE File Manager
[04:03] <ion3lunix> tomek_: Who invented th ecomputer?
[04:04] <rendo> My question is can this dmg2iso program work natively in Windows because my wife keeps getting this error, does she need something specifically for it?  (I know this isn't an Ubuntu related question, so I'll understand if no one answers)
[04:04] <ion3lunix> kapputu: describe in detail your problem
[04:04] <alfredo> hello people
[04:04] <ion3lunix> rendo: pm me for more info on dmgs
[04:04] <tomek_> ion3linux: dont really recall....
[04:04] <ion3lunix> tomek_: i bet it was a human though
[04:04] <skippy81> rendo, could you clarify what you are aiming to do please?
[04:04] <ion3lunix> tomek_: which is why you NEVER let the machine win
[04:05] <skippy81> hehe
[04:05] <kapputu> ion3lunix, I have a workgroup setup at home. I can see one of the Windows shares in my network. I cannot see the other. I'm able to ping the machine I can't see though.
[04:05] <rendo> Convert a .dmg to a .iso so it will run in Daemon tools on XP.
[04:05] <ion3lunix> tomek_: the human always wins :)
[04:05] <tomek_> ion: bring me THE human :)))
[04:05] <grndslm> tomek_, i'd suggest downloading an amd kernel
[04:05] <anacaona> i need help with drive space
[04:05] <RPG_> Just wondering, can I upgrade from Ubuntu Breezy Badger to ubuntu Dapper Drake without erasing any installed packages and my own personal data?
[04:05] <anacaona> for some reason, the 10GB partition i have for ubuntu is full
[04:05] <ion3lunix> Brydenn33: how'd you make out?
[04:06] <PetrolBomb> :))
[04:06] <ion3lunix> anacaona: yes that could happen
[04:06] <anacaona> after installation there was about 4 gb free
[04:06] <ion3lunix> RPG_: yes you can
[04:06] <RPG_> anacaona: doesn't sound right, my Ubuntu only takes up about 2 GB :)
[04:06] <RPG_> ion3lunix: will there be the possibility that the packates won't work?
[04:06] <grndslm> tomek_, i thought before dapper that xp felt a little snappier compared to ubuntu, but gnome 2.14 seems to solve ALMOST every problem i had with gnome
[04:06] <skippy81> rendo, i assume you allready have this: http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/download.pl?dmg2iso.exe
[04:06] <anacaona> i'm thinking something is creating huge temp files somewhere but for the life of me i can't find anything
[04:07] <rendo> She does, yes.
[04:07] <rendo> But it came up with an error while trying to convert.
[04:07] <tomek_> dont think loading amd specific kernel would help...
[04:07] <skippy81> oh i see :(
[04:07] <rendo> Oh well, she says n/m she'll download a windows version not the mac version. :P
[04:07] <rendo> Serves her right I guess, bwahahah.
[04:07] <grndslm> the biggest problem with gnome is not offering an [UN] LOCK option in the conext menu when you right click the 2 panels....that way you don't have to unlock and then relock EVERY applet, button, etc.
[04:08] <tomek_> gen: i should downgrade then?
[04:08] <grndslm> anacaona, perhaps try filelight.. it's the best visual disk usage program i've seen yet
[04:08] <ion3lunix> RPG_: if you have a breezy install that you've more or less left alone and used the standard universe/multiverse repositories, upgrading should be close to perfect
[04:08] <anacaona> grndslm: dude, i only have 20mb free - will it fit? :-)
[04:08] <skippy81> tomek, i think you should install xubuntu-desktop package
[04:08] <ion3lunix> RPG_: if you've messed around a lot and dpkg -i'd various things without really considering the implications, then yes, you may have some weird dependency problems
[04:09] <grndslm> anacaona, hmm....i really don't know...prolly, try and see
[04:09] <grndslm> i'd bet it'll fit
[04:09] <planetcall> Streaming from http://www.ddindia.gov.in/ works fine in Windows but doesnt seems to be working here in linux. Can anyone try ?
[04:09] <Brydenn33> ion3lunix: what do you mean "how'd i make out?"
[04:09] <ion3lunix> Brydenn33: were you able to succesfully mount your drives via /etc/fstab and have them work correctly in the way you intended?
[04:09] <RPG_> thanks!
[04:09] <anacaona> software i use regularly: firefox, thunderbird, azureus, kate, limewire, amarok
[04:09] <Brydenn33> no ion3lunix
[04:10] <skippy81> planetcall:  do you have realplayer installed?
[04:10] <Brydenn33> can you walk me thorugh it ion3lunix
[04:10] <skippy81> its asf so i think realplayer is the required format
[04:10] <ion3lunix> Brydenn33: okay, if you're still having problems, then I assume you'd ask about them; otherwise, I'd assume that you've either solved it yourself or given up
[04:10] <maikol> it appears that i dont have xubuntu-desktop package or kde-desktop package
[04:10] <planetcall> it required WMP or winamp on windows
[04:10] <planetcall> nope...dont have real  on linux
[04:11] <Agent_bob> what's casing this ?
[04:11] <Agent_bob> Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.freenode.net port 6667 [Cannot
[04:11] <Agent_bob>           assign requested address]
[04:11] <ion3lunix> Agent_bob: Are you sure you're not trying to connect from IRC 1.0 on MS-Bob on a Windows 3.1 workstation with Trumpet Winsock?
[04:11] <Brydenn33> alright so... this is what i put into fstab: /dev/hdb1       /media/windows  ntfs    uls=utf8,umask=0222,ro 0 0
[04:11] <Brydenn33> saved it
[04:11] <grndslm> planetcall, it opens in totem for me just find
[04:11] <grndslm> fine
[04:11] <Brydenn33> now what?
[04:11] <PerceptualChaos> intelikely, I am logged on as root - the problem is that when I use that command it says "find: missing argument to -exec"
[04:12] <ion3lunix> Brydenn33: sudo mount -a
[04:12] <tomek_> how do i install sth that sptitde nevr finds?
[04:12] <planetcall> :( lemme chk out
[04:12] <red-sox> i need some help
[04:12] <Brydenn33> hmmm ok let me try :)
[04:12] <red-sox> in the breezy install
[04:12] <skippy81> tomek_ sounds like you need to add the repositories
[04:12] <Agent_bob> ion3lunix: are you sure you want me to respond to that ?
[04:12] <skippy81> !repositories
[04:12] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[04:12] <red-sox> its like 'x could not be configured'
[04:12] <skippy81> hehe im good with the bot :)
[04:12] <ion3lunix> PerceptualChaos: are you sure you're getting the right text? it's hyphen, "exec", space, "rm -rf", space, left curly brace, right curly brace, space, backslash, semicolon
[04:13] <grndslm> tomek_...what are you trying to install?
[04:13] <red-sox> and before that it said some error about I/O
[04:13] <ruben_> what is the way to send a paquet ICMP type 8 via command to another machine?
[04:13] <ion3lunix> Agent_bob: i think you're a great fellow, just giving you a hard time :)
[04:13] <ruben_> hi first
[04:13] <ion3lunix> Agent_bob: so when do you see this error?
[04:13] <Brydenn33> hey ion3lunix
[04:13] <tomek_> skippy
[04:13] <tomek_> skippy: how do i knoiw what to add?
[04:13] <Brydenn33> i got this error

[04:13] <Agent_bob> when trying to connect to freenode
[04:13] <Rhine> Anyone know how i can play m4a in Amarok i really need to listen to the beatles >.<
[04:14] <ion3lunix> Brydenn33: are you sure that the windows drive is /dev/hdb1? you can check by typing "sudo gparted" to see what's where, make sure that /dev/hdb1 is really the ntfs partition you're trying to mount
[04:14] <skippy81> tomek_ open synaptic, click settings and then repositories
[04:14] <Agent_bob> ion3lunix: this is a fresh install.  and user account can't connect....
[04:14] <Brydenn33> ok hold on
[04:14] <skippy81> then follow the wiki instructions, once you have them all added you are sorted
[04:14] <distanceisdeath> can anyone inform me how to install the alsa driver?
[04:14] <Agent_bob> 21:08 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.debian.org port 6667 [Cannot
[04:14] <Agent_bob>           assign requested address]
[04:14] <ion3lunix> Agent-bob: are you online (can you browse the web, ping google.com, etc)?
[04:15] <Brydenn33> yah ion3lunix it's HDB1
[04:15] <Agent_bob> ion3lunix: i'm talking to you on the same box
[04:15] <grndslm> distanceisdeath, i'm pretty sure alsa already comes with the base install
[04:16] <grndslm> what program are you trying to play music with?
[04:16] <maikol> where can i get the xubuntu-desktop package
[04:16] <ion3lunix> Agent_bob: sorry, i don't know about irssi. they might have their own channel though?
[04:16] <ion3lunix> maikol: make sure you have universe (and multiverse? not sure) enabled, then apt-get update, then aptitude install xubuntu-desktop
[04:16] <distanceisdeath> grndslm, I cannot hear anything
[04:16] <planetcall> skippy81,  its says No URI Handler for mmsh://.fsfsfsfsfs.asf stream
[04:16] <planetcall> need some library or something?
[04:16] <ion3lunix> Brydenn33: type "sudo mount" to see if it's mounted already
[04:16] <kapputu> if I cannot see the windows shares using the machine name, can I see it using the IP?
[04:17] <Agent_bob> well.  can anyone answer me one question please.  what package, when removed will take all of gnome with it; but leave xorg  ???
[04:17] <ion3lunix> Brydenn33: if it is, then type "sudo umount /dev/hdb1" to unmount it
[04:17] <ion3lunix> Agent_bob: there isn't such a package
[04:17] <Agent_bob> ion3lunix: bull roar
[04:17] <Agent_bob> sure there is
[04:17] <skippy81> planetcall, so it doesnt attempt to open a program, the error happens in the browser?
[04:17] <grndslm> distanceisdeath, are you running dapper?
[04:17] <ion3lunix> Agent_bob: it might be gnome-desktop-environment
[04:17] <Agent_bob> i just don't know the name of it.
[04:17] <Dr_Willis> Agent_bob,  -  ive seen similer question asked many a times.. but never a good answer to it.
[04:17] <planetcall> I opened it in totem. The erro was flagged by TOTEM
[04:18] <Dr_Willis> Agent_bob,  most of the  packages would be meta-packages and not really remove ALL of gnome.
[04:18] <grndslm> planetcall, maybe you need some gstreamer plugins?
[04:18] <distanceisdeath> No, I am not running Dapper. 5.10
[04:18] <ion3lunix> Agent_bob: if you're in such a position to call bull roar, then i'd suggest learning how to use a program like Synaptic or Aptitude (ha!) to find the name of such a package. when you have, i'd love to hear it. Good luck, i'm sure you'll succeed with flying colors!
[04:18] <Agent_bob> Dr_Willis: right. i was thinking more of a lib package
[04:18] <grndslm> alright, well...the only real suggestion i can give you is to go to system -> prefs and make sure input has alsa selected
[04:18] <planetcall> hmm....got gstreamer-mad already..let me look into it
[04:18] <distanceisdeath> Okay.  Lemme try that.
[04:18] <grndslm> distanceisdeath, i mean output, 'scuze me
[04:18] <skippy81> !restricted
[04:18] <ubotu> hmm... restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[04:19] <Dr_Willis> Agent_bob,  as far as i know - No such easy way to do it. Ive seen pwople ask how to remove ALL of kde, or gnome, or whatever.. and its not that easy
[04:19] <distanceisdeath> All right lemme try that.
[04:19] <Agent_bob> Dr_Willis: k.  i'll go find a way.   tell ya how so you can post it on a wiki.  :)
[04:19] <skippy81> planetcall, i think i only installed the various gstreamer plugs named on the restricted page and i was able to listen to the indian radio (couldnt understand it of course :)
[04:19] <maikol> it appears the univers needs internet access, yes? and is there a way to do it in a shell
[04:20] <distanceisdeath> Grndslm, Where would it say Alsa?
[04:20] <ion3lunix> maikol: yes, you need internet access. and yes, you can do it from the shell by editing /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:20] <grndslm> should be prefs, then "multimedia system selector" or somethin' like that
[04:20] <maikol> well then, time to move everything to the modem...
[04:21] <distanceisdeath> I see sound.
[04:21] <kapputu> hi
[04:21] <ion3lunix> kapputu: howdy pardner
[04:21] <distanceisdeath> AHHHH, Grndslm
[04:21] <planetcall> skippy81, gstreamer-mms is required i guess.  I am installing all of the gstreamer plugins
[04:21] <kapputu> I cannot see one of my windows machines on the network
[04:21] <distanceisdeath> Found it, in face ALSA was not selected.
[04:21] <distanceisdeath> fact*
[04:21] <grndslm> does the test button work?
[04:21] <ion3lunix> planetcall: try gst-register-0.8 as a normal user
[04:22] <distanceisdeath> Yes, it does.
[04:22] <kapputu> brb
[04:22] <distanceisdeath> But the real test, is music from the web.
[04:22] <skippy81> planetcall - sounds like a good idea, maybe install totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin also
[04:24] <ion3lunix> so the funny thing is that after using Ubuntu for 3 months and Debian for 9 months, I'm sick of Linux and buying a Mac
[04:24] <RadiantFire> nooooooooo!
[04:24] <RadiantFire> don't do it
[04:24] <RadiantFire> :-)
[04:24] <distanceisdeath> Grndslm, I still have no sound coming from mozilla.   Now sudo says    sudo: timestamp too far in the future: May 30 12:39:31 2006
[04:25] <KhZilla> may 30th
[04:26] <KhZilla> that's crazy talk
[04:26] <planetcall> lol i am in india
[04:26] <ion3lunix> planetcall: how's the 30th treating you?
[04:26] <KhZilla> India. That's even crazier
[04:26] <distanceisdeath> ionlinux, is that a sudo?
[04:26] <distanceisdeath> Grndslm, just a video file.
[04:26] <planetcall> yeah its morning and its 30
[04:26] <distanceisdeath> Video plays, but no sound.
[04:26] <planetcall> sudo gone mad ?
[04:27] <KhZilla> is your timezone set properly?
[04:27] <ion3lunix> distanceisdeath: sudo aptitude install mozilla-mplayer
[04:27] <distanceisdeath> okay
[04:27] <KhZilla> maybe it thinks you're in some crazy place like Indiana
[04:27] <KhZilla> instead of India
[04:27] <skippy81> lol
[04:27] <ion3lunix> Indiana, what kind of a name is that?
[04:27] <ion3lunix> it's a mixture of... In and Diana
[04:27] <skippy81> how far is india from GMT then? 6 hours?
[04:27] <ion3lunix> which might not be a bad place
[04:28] <planetcall> hehehe lol
[04:28] <ion3lunix> but still... terrible name
[04:28] <planetcall> 5:30 hrs
[04:28] <grndslm> anybody know the difference between mozplugger and mozilla-mplayer?
[04:28] <grndslm> mozplugger has flash too or sumpin?
[04:28] <ion3lunix> apt-cache show mozplugger and apt-cache show mozilla-mplayer, and you'll be all the wiser :)
[04:28] <trevor> can someone lend me a hand with ATICONFIG?
[04:28] <Healot> mozplugger - > the generic mozilla plugin handler, mozilla-mplayer - > mplayer plugin for mozilla
[04:28] <ion3lunix> trevor: ati sucks, buy nvidia. do not pass go or collect $200
[04:28] <trevor> haha
[04:29] <skippy81> grndslm:  mozplugger is for document formats
[04:29] <distanceisdeath> It's installing.
[04:29] <skippy81> grndslm:  mplayer for media
[04:29] <ion3lunix> trevor: i'd prefer you ask someone who actually has used ATI stuff with linux before; i haven't, but if you're still stuck later on, ask again
[04:29] <trevor> well...i have the ATI drivers...I just need help getting dual displays working (correctly)
[04:30] <planetcall> I need a restart or what ? lol cant seem to do any sudoing
[04:30] <skippy81> what card do you have trevor
[04:30] <ion3lunix> planetcall: sudoing is overrated ;p
[04:30] <trevor> ATI a-i-w 9600
[04:30] <ion3lunix> trevor: are you using ATi's binary drivers?
[04:30] <skippy81> arggh i have no idea with one of those
[04:30] <trevor> honestly, not sure
[04:30] <trevor> i got help early today on here with it
[04:31] <bimberi> planetcall: does doing a 'sudo -k' fix it?
[04:31] <ion3lunix> trevor: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep fglrx
[04:31] <trevor> ya...it should be the binary drivers
[04:31] <planetcall> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: May 30 12:39:31 2006
[04:31] <planetcall>  ......... is it from past ?
[04:31] <ion3lunix> trevor: if you see a line, then yes, it's the binary ones
[04:31] <planetcall> bimberi, nope :(
[04:31] <grndslm> trevor, are you trying to get mirror images?  or different use each monitor as a separate desktop?
[04:32] <trevor> different desktops...
[04:32] <jm334> ion3lunix,
[04:32] <planetcall> but sudo -L does work :)
[04:32] <planetcall> seems ok now
[04:32] <jm334> can u suggest any fix for that apt problem
[04:32] <trevor> ion3lunix, what do you mean by a line?
[04:32] <jm334> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14847
[04:32] <psyke83> hi, when I try to run a certain app it complains "(/usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so: undefined symbol: _glapi_Dispatch)". Usually I'd just use "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 app", but this time it doesn't help, are there any other libs I can try preloading too?
[04:32] <jm334> can i manually edit dpkg status
[04:33] <psyke83> ZoomCities is a spammer
[04:33] <bimberi> planetcall: kk :)
[04:33] <halibut> does the ubuntu installer make it easy for me to use a seperate home partition?
[04:33] <ion3lunix> can you dpkg -L  xandros-parport-2.6.9-x1
[04:33] <skippy81> trevor if grep finds something it will return the line of text that contained the search word, if it doesnt find anything it returns nothing
[04:33] <trevor> well...it found nothing
[04:33] <ion3lunix> Dr Willis! You left?! Wutcha talkin bout?!
[04:33] <ion3lunix> Bob you're back!
[04:34] <Brydenn33> ion3lunix:  is there a reason why i cant play mp3's on Dapper?
[04:34] <skippy81> ok now do the same thing but grep for ati instead of flxgr
[04:34] <Brydenn33> it plays my OGG files just fine
[04:34] <ion3lunix> !formats
[04:34] <ubotu> ion3lunix: I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[04:34] <Agent_bob> ion3lunix: gconf2    ;p
[04:34] <T_CAN> can i get mp3 playback on ubuntu?
[04:34] <skippy81> !restricted
[04:34] <ubotu> well, restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[04:34] <distanceisdeath> IonLinux, I installed what you said...But I still have no sound.
[04:34] <ion3lunix> yep mp3 seems to be a hot topic :)
[04:34] <ion3lunix> distanceisdeath: what webpage?
[04:35] <T_CAN> ive tried all of that
[04:35] <Brydenn33> hehe oh... and whats the issue with it ion3lunix
[04:35] <trevor> skippy81, nothing for ATI either :(
[04:35] <T_CAN> still nothin :(
[04:35] <distanceisdeath> IonLinux, http://youtube.com/watch?v=2WQcLPkPn6w&search=underoath%20the%20last
[04:35] <T_CAN> is there anything special I have to do with the gstreamer packages?
[04:35] <ion3lunix> skippy81: what about "radeon"
[04:36] <skippy81> ok trever do this: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and copy the output, paste it into http://pastebin.com/
[04:36] <trevor> ok
[04:36] <ion3lunix> distanceisdeath: ic. it's a flash sound issue
[04:36] <skippy81> good point ion3lunix, but it would be wierd if someone guided him to use "radeon", isnt it deprecated?
[04:36] <distanceisdeath> IonLinux, what do I do?
[04:37] <skippy81> unless of course, its the the best his card can do
[04:37] <trevor> http://pastebin.com/746060
[04:37] <stephan__> whats dapper.....and when is it gonan be released
[04:37] <ion3lunix> skippy81: it's not deprecated: the ATI binary drivers drop support for older cards, and it's picked up by radeon
[04:37] <skippy81> fglrx
[04:37] <ion3lunix> skippy81: the radeon open source driver does even support acceleration for certain cards
[04:37] <skippy81> oh i see :)
[04:38] <ion3lunix> distanceisdeath: so you see the flash movie but don't get sound?
[04:38] <distanceisdeath> Correct.
[04:38] <ion3lunix> distanceisdeath: edit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
[04:38] <Rigonatti> hi all..
[04:38] <Rigonatti> can someone lend me a help with my sound card ? http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/746058
[04:38] <skippy81> im confused look at his file ion3lunix, why does he have so many devices in it? http://pastebin.com/746060
 the graphics in the log-out window (the nice big colorful ones) are all GPL, right?
[04:38] <ion3lunix> distanceisdeath: there's a line called FIREFOX_DSP. try changing it to "none" or "alsa" or "aoss" (After installing the alsa-oss package) and see what works
[04:38] <FliesLikeABrick> stupid paste\
[04:38] <lnx> any advice on how to play .wma files?
[04:39] <FliesLikeABrick> !tell lnx about w32codecs
[04:39] <ion3lunix> lnx: yes, use windows media player 11 beta under wine cvs under /usr/local
[04:39] <ion3lunix> kidding :)
[04:39] <distanceisdeath> Ion, It says "No write Permission"
[04:39] <skippy81> ok trevor, at the moment you are using the "ati" driver
[04:39] <ion3lunix> right, you need to edit the file using sudo, either with sudo gedit or sudo vim, whatever you want

[04:40] <ion3lunix> distanceisdeath: you also need to restart firefox for it to pickup the change. if you're not sure that firefox is totally closed, a killall firefox-bin will take care of that

[04:48] <lmurillo> this one would be in the National University at Costa Rica
[04:48] <SurfnKid> someone like that wont last very long, the guy is a body builder, she's getting flabby, and its getting to her head

[04:49] <SurfnKid> and I thought I was nice to people
[04:49] <T_CAN> anyone know if i need an internet connection to get gstreamer0.8-mad
[04:49] <skippy81> no i dont think so, he has been here half of the night, probably tired :D
[04:50] <skippy81> T_CAN:  yes
[04:50] <skippy81> it isnt on the cd
[04:50] <grndslm> lnx, the w32codecs are fairly necessary on a desktop computer
[04:50] <skippy81> and copying it over from another PC is a nightmare
[04:50] <T_CAN> well that sucks
[04:50] <lmurillo> SurfnKid: you registered?
[04:50] <SurfnKid> Skippy Phew..  for a second i thought I had poured octane all over him

[04:51] <skippy81> :)
[04:51] <SurfnKid> hang on
[04:51] <lmurillo> k
[04:51] <Brydenn33> dammit
[04:52] <Brydenn33> amarok wont play mp3's for me still
[04:52] <SurfnKid> gime the command to register
[04:52] <Brydenn33> what do i have to install?
[04:52] <lmurillo> hmmm
[04:52] <SurfnKid> !register
[04:52] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[04:52] <lmurillo> ah, there
[04:52] <lmurillo> heh
[04:52] <skippy81> Brydenn33 have you been throught the restricted formats wiki?
[04:52] <T_CAN> Brydenn, have you gotten gstreamer0.8-mad
[04:52] <skippy81> !restricted
[04:52] <ubotu> it has been said that restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[04:52] <Brydenn33> no skippy81
[04:52] <skippy81> follow the link provided by ubotu
[04:53] <skippy81> once youve gone through it you should be good to go
[04:53] <irina_> hey guys: I have used K3B to Format a DVD RW disk. I wrote some files and now I want to remove them from the DVD RW. How do I do it.  (In Windows I just need to press delete but I have no Ideead how to do it in Ubuntu or Debian)
[04:53] <lnx> anyone know an easy script to convert wma to mp3?
[04:53] <skippy81> mp3s are a 'restricted' format, and therefore the codecs to play them has to be stored away from ubuntus product
[04:53] <SurfnKid> it says im already registered
[04:53] <lmurillo> k
[04:54] <lmurillo> then, have your identified yourself?
[04:54] <Brydenn33> omg that's sooooooooooo lame
[04:54] <marsswell> as I make to install the Dapper version?
[04:54] <SurfnKid> how ?
[04:54] <torpedo|dog> SurfnKid, /msg nickserv identify <password>
[04:54] <SurfnKid> ah
[04:54] <lmurillo> /msg nickserv identify pass
[04:54] <lmurillo> yeah, that
[04:54] <skippy81> lnx have you tried nautilus-script-audio-convert from synaptic?
[04:55] <SurfnKid> ok i think im good thanks Torpedo|dogo
[04:55] <SurfnKid> err dog
[04:55] <torpedo|dog> hehe, you're welcome :)
[04:55] <planetcall> skippy81, using dapper ?
[04:55] <skippy81> planetcall:  yep :)
[04:55] <marsswell> as I make to install the Dapper version?
[04:55] <skippy81> quack quack
[04:56] <planetcall> probably thats why asf and wmv are working for u with totem :P
[04:56] <planetcall> tried a lot..could not get it to work
[04:56] <skippy81> maybe realplayer is your best bet
[04:56] <skippy81> are you 32 bit?
[04:56] <planetcall> yeah
[04:57] <planetcall> i am going for VLC
[04:57] <torpedo|dog> VLC = amazing
[04:57] <skippy81> try realplayer, it should do the asfs easily
[04:57] <distanceisdeath> Terrible!  How Terrible For This Great City!
[04:57] <planetcall> want FOSS
[04:57] <torpedo|dog> I prefer FLOSS
[04:57] <planetcall> L ??
[04:57] <torpedo|dog>  ibre
[04:57] <distanceisdeath> And what is FOSS?
[04:57] <Madpilot> Free/Libre
[04:58] <torpedo|dog>  ree  pen  ource  oftware
[04:58] <planetcall> FOSS  = Free and Open Source Software
[04:58] <PerceptualChaos> ion3lunix, skippy81 - I tried running the originally suggested commands from the terminal inside x-windows and it worked great so I guess it just wasn't working from recovery mode prompt thing (whats the name for that?)
[04:58] <planetcall> Ubuntu is FOSS
[04:58] <torpedo|dog> Firefox is FOSS
[04:58] <allen> evenign
[04:58] <distanceisdeath> Ohhh
[04:58] <distanceisdeath> Open source
[04:58] <PerceptualChaos> thanks again
[04:58] <grndslm> ok...so what's the difference between flashplayer-mozilla and libflash-mozplugin?  libflash is open source and the other isn't?
[04:58] <skippy81> PerceptualChaos: well its good to know your sorted now
[04:58] <lmurillo> hmm, so there's no way I can order 30 PC CDs in one single shipment?
[04:58] <skippy81> iso went to bed :(
[04:59] <Healot> but do anyone here FLOSS, hehe
[04:59] <planetcall> grndslm, yea
[04:59] <Healot> lmurillo: yeah the mass order gone?
[04:59] <grndslm> planetcall, i'm gonna guess that you use the flashplayer-mozilla one?
[04:59] <T-CAN> is there any way to keep a vfat filesystem permently mounted so i dont have to mount it every time i reboot??
[04:59] <planetcall> yeah
[04:59] <jm334>     *** ptal-mlcd failed to start!  Check syslog file for error messages.
[04:59] <planetcall> i love youtube
[04:59] <jm334> my parallel printer wont work
[04:59] <skippy81> i dont strictly FOSS but i refuse to encode anything into a restricted format
[04:59] <arep> hg
[05:00] <skippy81> no way will i let M$ and apple get their paws on my music :)
[05:00] <planetcall> hehehe
[05:00] <T-CAN> anyone?
[05:00] <baconbacon> T-CAN: everything is unmounted on powerdown
[05:00] <planetcall> but I only use MP3
[05:00] <skippy81> apparantly the iriver music players do ogg format easily
[05:00] <NoUse> T-CAN you can have it automount at start by adding auto to the mount options in fstab
[05:00] <grndslm> soo....nobody here has setup a MythBox?
[05:01] <NoUse> grndslm I have but I used knoppmyth
[05:01] <skippy81> grndslm:  not yet im afraid
[05:01] <T-CAN> ill give that a try, thanks
[05:01] <skippy81> theres a lot of HTPC sites which have guides though
[05:01] <grndslm> skippy81, i've searched but i can't connect my frontend to the backend database
[05:01] <grndslm> prolly some mysql problem
[05:01] <grndslm> mysql is a biatch
[05:02] <NoUse> grndslm seperate machines?
[05:02] <skippy81> ok has it setup a user account called mysql yet?
[05:02] <tuxtheslacker> hello, what are some good webcam programs?
[05:02] <tuxtheslacker> aside form gnomemeeting?
[05:02] <planetcall> VLC plays asf streams............but no video
[05:02] <allen> any antivirus for ubuntu?
[05:02] <anderson_> ola boa noite
[05:03] <grndslm> NoUse, yup...I've got a PVR-500 on a super slow Celeron MoBo, and i'm trying to decode all the files from my desktop while the backend runs non-stop
[05:03] <distanceisdeath> okay, I have a .deb file here.  How do I install it?
[05:03] <tuxtheslacker> allen, there's clamav, but I doubt u'd ever need it.
[05:03] <grndslm> distanceisdeath.... "dpkg -i [packagename] "
[05:03] <allen> how bout a firewall?
[05:03] <tuxtheslacker> distanceisdeath, dpkg -i <packagename>
[05:03] <distanceisdeath> Do I have to be in the directory?
[05:03] <skippy81> planetcall i didnt manage to get the video either, i just had the audio track
[05:03] <todayisagift> hey all
[05:03] <NoUse> grndslm check /etc/mysql/my.cnf and make sure you have it bound to an address
[05:03] <todayisagift> any place that has a list of drivers i can download??
[05:03] <planetcall> its a video stream
[05:04] <todayisagift> i need a sound cartd driver
[05:04] <skippy81> im sure that to get asf video you must need the realplayer plugin
[05:04] <NoUse> grndslm networking is disabled by default in Ubuntu for security reasons
[05:04] <grndslm> distanceisdeath, don't forget about the sudo.... or if you're initially configuring a pc for the first time, then use "sudo -s" at first...THEN do administrative commands
[05:04] <Pino> j #fedora
[05:04] <NoUse> grndslm I should say mysql networking
[05:04] <tuxtheslacker> anyone know of a good video conferencing program from linux aside from gnomemeeting?
[05:04] <NoUse> Pino you need a / in front j '/j #fedora'
[05:05] <Pino> 3ks
[05:05] <skippy81> although, actually planetside i could be wrong, i think asf is actually an M$ format, not a realplayer one
[05:05] <tuxtheslacker> anyone?
[05:05] <distanceisdeath> I did the "dpkg -i" command and it says "dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege"
[05:05] <distanceisdeath> What to do?
[05:05] <bur[n] er> skippy81: you're right... asf is ms
[05:05] <leboff> sudo dpkg -i
[05:05] <skippy81> distanceisdeath:  add sudo before the command
[05:05] <bur[n] er> distanceisdeath: sudo dpkg -i blah
[05:05] <torpedo|dog> distanceisdeath: add a 'sudo' in front
[05:05] <ShastaMaroon> what's the package name for the ati drivers?
[05:05] <tuxtheslacker> hello?
[05:06] <bur[n] er> tuxtheslacker: ekiga :)
[05:06] <grndslm> NoUse, so how do i enable mysql networking?
[05:06] <bur[n] er> tuxtheslacker: skype?
[05:06] <todayisagift> i need a sound card driver can anyone help?
[05:06] <grndslm> where do i put the ip addresses in my.cnf
[05:06] <tuxtheslacker> okay, ZoomCities is spamming me with an ad...
[05:06] <torpedo|dog> skippy81, bur[n] er: perhaps we could be slightly more redundant ;)
[05:06] <distanceisdeath> oh okay.
[05:06] <bimberi> !tell ShastaMaroon about ati
[05:06] <tuxtheslacker> bur[n] er, where are the settings in skype?
[05:06] <crimsun> todayisagift: what sound card?
[05:06] <valehru> Hey guys, is there a way I can mount .bin files without burning it to a disk?
[05:06] <bur[n] er> got me tuxtheslacker, i don't know if that works, i use ekiga
[05:06] <ShastaMaroon> thanks bimberi
[05:06] <bimberi> ShastaMaroon: np :)
[05:07] <bur[n] er> valehru: convert bin 2 iso, then mount the iso?
[05:07] <skippy81> valehru its easy to mount isos, but bin is a lot harder i think
[05:07] <todayisagift> crumsun it is your basic generic sound card, run of the mill, in an older dell
[05:07] <leboff> ok, so i really screwed up my sound.  Let me just say i'm a real beginner in linux.  I had sound working fine, but it was only in 2 of my 5.1 .. so i tried realtek's audio drivers first (the ac'97 drivers) and no dice (lost sound at this point) and then i tried the drivers from nvidia (nforce drivers) and sound still doesnt work. i'm pretty sure i screwed up all my config files somewhere along the way.  anyone have experience with this
[05:07] <leboff>  or help me out?
[05:07] <tuxtheslacker> bur[n] er, is there one available for window?
[05:07] <NoUse> grndslm change the 'bind-address' to the address of your machine
[05:07] <crimsun> todayisagift: age of the dell? I need specifics.
[05:07] <bur[n] er> tuxtheslacker: ekiga works with ms netmeeting
[05:07] <valehru> bur[n] er, how can i convert it to ISO on ubuntu?
[05:07] <jm334>     *** ptal-mlcd failed to start!  Check syslog file for error messages.
[05:07] <maikol-tmp> i enabled the universe, i did apt-get update. but when i tried aptitude install xubuntu-desktop is says some of the dependencies are unmet. fix?
[05:07] <allen> what firewall would you all suggest for ubuntu?
[05:07] <jm334> i am getting this error with hp printer
[05:07] <bur[n] er> tuxtheslacker: and there will be an ekiga for windows, but in time.... no time soon
[05:08] <bur[n] er> allen: firestarter
[05:08] <grndslm> NoUse, the backend ip correct?....or add the frontend ip to the backend my.cnf?
[05:08] <todayisagift> crimsun it is a Dell Optiplex Gx1
[05:08] <leboff> and if someone can help me out, can we do it in pm . cause its crazy in here
[05:08] <todayisagift> i cant get you a specific "age"
[05:08] <crimsun> todayisagift: In a Terminal,``sudo modprobe snd-cs4236''
[05:08] <bimberi> maikol-tmp: put your sources.list on the pastebin
[05:08] <allen> is it pretty easy to configure....burner?
[05:08] <tuxtheslacker> bur[n] er, do you want to send a link to ekiga?
[05:09] <tuxtheslacker> I have a web cam that pretty much hangs... EVERYTHING. :-/.
[05:09] <skippy81> allen: linux kernel has a built in firewall called iptables, firestarter is a frontend you can download for it
[05:09] <bur[n] er> tuxtheslacker: google.com/search?q=ekiga
[05:09] <maikol-tmp> bimberi, that might take a while, its really slow so hold up a while
[05:09] <bimberi> maikol-tmp: kk :)
[05:09] <baconbacon> maikol-tmp, works here
[05:09] <NoUse> grndslm you change it to the address of the back-end
[05:09] <DarkTower> Does anyone know how to view publisher files in ubuntu without wine?
[05:09] <allen> ok..thanks...my first day with ubutu
[05:09] <tuxtheslacker> bur[n] er, thank ye. They should really have a / command for a google search.
[05:10] <maikol-tmp> baconbacon, the computer is slow i meant
[05:10] <skippy81> allen:  have you used synaptic yet?
[05:10] <bur[n] er> tuxtheslacker: what i'm thinking too ;)
[05:10] <todayisagift> crimsun i ran it, it asked for my password, i typed it in, it went to the next line cursor blinked a few times and then went back to the normal prefix before i typed sudo...
[05:10] <baconbacon> maikol-tmp: sry but i was talking about the xubuntu thing
[05:10] <allen> no..very familiar with yum
[05:10] <grndslm> and this is the my.cnf on the backend, right?  i'm confused why aptitude automagically installs mysql on my ubuntu frontend when it's not needed?
[05:10] <bur[n] er> xubuntu is wonderful :)
[05:10] <crimsun> todayisagift: ``aplay /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav''
[05:10] <allen> have apt-get xmms
[05:11] <skippy81> allen:  ah ok if you were able to apt-get xmms then you should be set
[05:11] <NoUse> grndslm because it needs mysql libs to talk to the server
[05:11] <allen> yes..i got it set up with the help from this room
[05:11] <emi> hi
[05:11] <tuxtheslacker> bur[n] er, whoudl you have anhy idea why creative webcam notebook crashes when you try to use it on... ANYTHING?
[05:11] <skippy81> allen: "sudo apt-get firestarter" should help you on your way with a firewall
[05:11] <NoUse> grndslm the my.cnf is on the backend, yes
[05:11] <skippy81> allen: firestarter is pretty easy to set up, its got a wizard style to it
[05:11] <bur[n] er> tuxtheslacker: i wouldn't
[05:12] <emi> I got a ati 9200 second how do I install the drivers to got 3d acc.?
[05:12] <bur[n] er> !ati
[05:12] <torpedo|dog> allen: try 'sudo apt-get install firestarter'
[05:12] <ubotu> I heard ati is http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch04.html#installatidriver or  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[05:12] <tuxtheslacker> bur[n] er, what webcam do you have?
[05:12] <bur[n] er> tuxtheslacker: logitech quickcam
[05:12] <todayisagift> crimsun: you are the effing man, i appreciate that so much!! how in the hell did you find that so fast??!
[05:12] <tuxtheslacker> bur[n] er, which model?
[05:12] <crimsun> todayisagift: I know it.
[05:12] <CarlF1> what package has the man command?
[05:12] <tuxtheslacker> bur[n] er, *crosses finger for a 5000, because that's all i can find)
[05:12] <crimsun> todayisagift: ``echo snd_cs4236 |sudo tee -a /etc/modules''
[05:12] <zach> hello... device manager shows ati cards and shows for secondary...how do i enable dual mointors?
[05:13] <grndslm> man's installed by default...it's a system command
[05:13] <crimsun> todayisagift: that last command will load the driver automatically on boot
[05:13] <CarlF1> not on ubuntu-server
[05:13] <allen> im downloading it but dialup sucks
[05:13] <bur[n] er> tuxtheslacker: it's older than a 5000... but they're all pretty similar
[05:13] <torpedo|dog> CarlF1: are you sure? that's not right.
[05:13] <grndslm> CarlF1, that's awkward
[05:14] <CarlF1> -bash: man: command not found
[05:14] <CarlF1> belive me yet? ;)
[05:14] <torpedo|dog> CarlF1: try 'info <command>' and see what happens.
[05:14] <tuxtheslacker> bur[n] er, could you do me a favor and sniff around to see if a 500 is supported. I think I have to take this one back tomorrow.
[05:14] <CarlF1> why would a server need docs?
[05:14] <zach> anyone ?
[05:14] <skippy81> surely it has man lol
[05:14] <skippy81> sounds like root has been deleted to me :D
[05:15] <allen> ok.. igot it  if i can find it
[05:15] <torpedo|dog> CarlF1: it's a lot easier to administrate that way ;)
[05:15] <bimberi> CarlF1: man-db is the package
[05:15] <CarlF1> yea!  thanks
[05:15] <todayisagift> crimsun: it did play that "startup.wav" but i cannot get anything else to play, no cds, or the "test sounds, like the game sound" all volume is up and none are muted, should i do a reboot?
[05:15] <allen> is firestarter a gui or ran from the command line?
[05:16] <torpedo|dog> Is there a way to extract just one directory from a tar file?
[05:16] <crimsun> are you currently logged into gnome/
[05:16] <Madpilot> allen, gui
[05:16] <crimsun> ^ todayisagift
[05:16] <torpedo|dog> I'm wanting to do it on the command line.
[05:16] <allen> where does it put the gui?
[05:16] <skippy81> allen: im not actually too sure hehe, you should be able to launch it from a terminal though
[05:16] <daniel_> hello
[05:17] <Madpilot> allen, after you install Firestarter, it should be at Applications->System Tools->Firestarter
[05:17] <allen> i can launch it from a terminal
[05:17] <Madpilot> allen, or Alt+F2 and just type firstarter
[05:17] <allen> yeaugh its not there
[05:17] <Madpilot> firestarter, even
[05:17] <cocox> can i manage my bandwidth with iptables ??
[05:17] <skippy81> allen maybe its under Applications > Internet
[05:18] <skippy81> but as Madpilot said, its easy enought to launch with an alt-F2 run box
[05:18] <emi> hmm I don`t have xorg-driver-fglrx on sysnaptic ...http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch04.html#installatidriver trying to make after this doc
[05:18] <tuxtheslacker> anyone know of any other good video conferencing programs for linux?
[05:18] <skippy81> emi have you enabled multiverse and universe yet?
[05:18] <skippy81> !repositories
[05:18] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[05:19] <emi> skippy81: trying..
[05:19] <daniel_> anyone had any luck upgrading from hoary to dapper?
[05:19] <skippy81> hoary to dapper? i wouldnt fancy it
[05:19] <Healot> the Irish had :)
[05:20] <daniel_> im trying to get the broadcom 43xx driver to work and ive got instructions in dapper
[05:20] <daniel_> anyone had any luck in hoary with this card?
[05:20] <Madpilot> daniel_, you'd probably want to go Hoary->Breezy, then Breezy->Dapper
[05:21] <goffa> not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this... but i'm having nfs troubles on my ubuntu box...  i can move/copy files around the ubuntu box fine... i can access files over the network fine.. as soon as i copy files the transfer freezes
[05:21] <zach> can anyone help me enable dual monitor in dapper?
[05:21] <goffa> until i do a umount -f /mnt/extra6 (mountpoint)
[05:21] <daniel_> thanks madpilot
[05:21] <maikol> its gonna take even longer now because for some reason, everytime i type something it types it like 5 times
[05:21] <eydaimon> how to configure X these days? xf86config seems to be gone
[05:22] <daniel_> is there an dist-upgrade through apt-get that will do this for me?
[05:22] <goffa> maikol: xorg.conf?
[05:22] <allen> how do i stop this from responding to a ping?
[05:22] <Healot> eydaimon: "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[05:22] <eydaimon> Healot: cheers
[05:22] <skippy81> allen:  dropping pings is known as "stealth mode" usually
[05:22] <maikol> goffa duno what that is
[05:23] <skippy81> i suggest you use nmap, you should be able to scan your own host with it
[05:23] <skippy81> sudo apt-get nmap
[05:23] <allen> yeaugh well my comptuter is stealthed but still answers a ping request
[05:23] <shulman> how do I make my taskbar (the bar with all open windows)  two lines?
[05:23] <emi> skippy81: : I enabled but still no xorg-driver
[05:23] <emi> skippy81: should I enable sources too?
[05:23] <coz_> anyone here good with udev
[05:24] <goffa> maikol: check /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:24] <goffa> that's the file that compares to xfree syntax is basically the same
[05:25] <emi> skippy81: i found Video driver for the ATI Radeon and FireGL graphics accelerators.
[05:25] <Madpilot> shulman, try right-clicking on it, select Properties, and crank the height right up
[05:25] <goffa> actually if you have an xfree config you should be able to just rename it
[05:25] <emi> skippy81: i have xorg-driver-flgx and xorg-driver-flgx-dev ? do I need only the first ?
[05:25] <maikol> goffa, why do i need to compare
[05:26] <tuxtheslacker> are there any linux webcam channels?
[05:26] <shulman>  Madpilot: I don't see anyplace to select height in there...
[05:26] <goffa> maikol: you don't
[05:26] <Madpilot> shulman, the Size setting
[05:27] <xerophyte> how can i start the filemanager in gnome?? i dont find the link to it
[05:27] <maikol> goffa, then why did you tell me that/
[05:27] <torpedo|dog> xerophyte: type 'nautilus' in at a command line.
[05:27] <Madpilot> xerophyte, Places->Home Folder
[05:27] <shulman> Madpilot: it has min: 50, max 4096... tried changing the min to 100 with no change
[05:27] <goffa> maikol: i was meaning that it is comparable...
[05:27] <skippy81> yeah you dont need the dev package emi
[05:27] <goffa> as in... they releate
[05:27] <xerophyte> Madpilot, got ti thanks
[05:27] <goffa> not that you need to set them side by side
[05:27] <Madpilot> shulman, with a couple of apps open it'll go to double lines, otherwise you just get tall buttons
[05:28] <todayisagift> crimsum: sweet all sound is working i appreciate it
[05:28] <emi> skippy81: thanks in a few minuts the drivers are going to be installed..
[05:28] <skippy81> allen:- you need to set the ICMP settings to block ping requests, then set the stealth mode i think
[05:28] <todayisagift> crimsum: what about decoders to play, mp3's and mpegs so on and so forth?
[05:28] <skippy81> emi : cool :)
[05:28] <distanceisdeath> Hello, Can anyone help me on installing JAVA?  I believe I have the correct .bin file.
[05:28] <RancidLM> hey all i removed my nvidia-glx and compiled my own nvidia drivers, but every time i reboot i have to re-install them because Xdisplay isn't able to start.. any suggestions on how to get my nvidia drivers to work at boot?
[05:28] <upup> I am a beginning UBUNTU user,,, on 5.10, is it advised to update to DD 6.x ?
[05:29] <torpedo|dog> distanceisdeath: go to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and look there
[05:29] <daniel_> bye
[05:29] <skippy81> todayisagifi you need to see the wiki on restricted formats
[05:29] <allen> hey upup my first day on 5.10 also
[05:29] <skippy81> !restricted
[05:29] <ubotu> methinks restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[05:29] <Boelcke> Evening. Printer question: to get my printer shared across the network, I added "ServerName <IP_ADDRESS>" to my clients.conf file. Any advice on how to name that the actual hostname?  My IP changes a la DHCP...
[05:29] <torpedo|dog> it's a bit hard, but you should get it.
[05:29] <shulman> madpilot: I still don't seem to have it at the right height... is there a conf file I can edit?
[05:29] <emi> skippy81: brb restart:)
[05:29] <Madpilot> shulman, no idea. You could have a look thru gconf-editor, I guess
[05:29] <skippy81> ok you will still probably have to set up xorg to use the driver though
[05:29] <todayisagift> crimsun: sweet all sound is working i appreciate that! what about decoders for mp3's mpegs, so on and so forth?
[05:30] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell todayisagift about mp3
[05:30] <skippy81> !restricted
[05:30] <ubotu> from memory, restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[05:30] <todayisagift> skippy81: where can i find the wiki article?
[05:30] <Boelcke> While you do need to read the RestrictedFormats, you might want to check out http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[05:30] <Madpilot> todayisagift, check the PM you just got
[05:30] <skippy81> read ubotus link mate
[05:30] <Boelcke> I did it all manually on my first ubuntu install, and this was much easier!
 what IRC client are you using ?
[05:31] <allen> xchat
[05:32] <upup> how do you direct a message to someone and have it HIGHLIGHT and beep, like you did to me...that was cool
[05:32] <emi> skippy81: how do I check now if I have 3d acc.?
[05:32] <Madpilot> upup, just start a line with their nick
[05:32] <majd> Hey
[05:32] <cocox> can  i manage my bandwidth with iptables ??
[05:33] <majd> how can i get the xfce-panel on the bottom in gnome?
[05:33] <skippy81> emi, ok first we need to setup your xorg.conf file
[05:33] <upup> Madpilot like this
[05:33] <majd> sorta like http://www.ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=2738&original=1&c=2
[05:33] <emi> skippy81: i did like on that docs..
[05:33] <Madpilot> upup, yes. that's an IRC client thing - different ones do different sorts of highlighting/etc
[05:33] <upup> brilliant, thanks..
[05:33] <jrattner1> How do i install Gnome Bling Manager (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomeBlingManager) its not in the repos?
[05:34] <allen> i prefer xchat..ive used it DSL, FC4 and a few others
[05:34] <B0FH> !sources
[05:34] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[05:34] <skippy81> ah ok cool emi, hang on im just looking for a link
[05:35] <Madpilot> jrattner1, there should be files on that page
[05:35] <emi> skippy81: :ok.. I
[05:36] <jrattner1> Madpilot, how do i install the package
[05:36] <emi> skippy81: http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch04.html#installatidriver after this I made..
[05:36] <Madpilot> jrattner1, get the .deb file, and if you're running Dapper, just double-click on it to start the install
[05:37] <Boelcke> Evening. Printer question: to get my printer shared across the network, I added "ServerName <IP_ADDRESS>" to my clients.conf file. Any advice on how to name that the actual hostname?  My IP changes a la DHCP...
[05:37] <skippy81> ok emi, open a terminal and type: cat /etc/xorg.conf/ | grep flgx
[05:37] <jrattner1> Madpilot, ewww i wish i had dapper : ) how do i install the .deb?
[05:37] <todayisagift> madpilot: i apologize i am fairly new at ubuntu, but i do have most of the basics, however reading the article, what are they referring to when they say "use your favorite package manager to install..."
[05:37] <skippy81> it should return a few lines, if it does then your ati driver should be loaded
[05:37] <Healot> Boelcke: you can run a DNS/DCHP server, to map your IPs dynamically
[05:37] <skippy81> does your desktop feel a bit "snappier" emi?
[05:38] <torpedo|dog> jrattner1: open up a terminal, go to the directory, and type in 'sudo dpkg -install filename.deb'
[05:38] <Healot> so the name would stay the same, without knowing the IP...
[05:38] <Madpilot> todayisagift, System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager is easiest
[05:38] <emi> skippy81: grep flg* /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:38] <emi> emi@emi-desktop:~$
[05:38] <emi> .
[05:38] <jrattner1> torpedo|dog, thanks
[05:38] <emi>  glxinfo |grep -i direct
[05:38] <emi> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:38] <emi> direct rendering: No
[05:38] <emi> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[05:38] <emi> sorry for paste ...
[05:38] <Madpilot> emi, pastebin next time, thanks
[05:38] <grndslm> Boelcke, what kinda router ya got?
[05:38] <emi> ok Madpilot
[05:39] <skippy81> emi are you in gnome now?
[05:39] <emi> skippy81: yes
[05:39] <Boelcke> grndslm, Linksys 4-port wired
[05:39] <emi> skippy81: and its working very hard.. no 3d acc..
[05:40] <skippy81> try sudo apt-get fglrx-control
[05:40] <allen> kewllll...thanks guys..the computer is stealthed and doesnt answer a ping request
[05:40] <molinero> !molinux
[05:40] <ubotu> I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, molinero
[05:40] <Boelcke> Oh, can I somehow force a non-changing IP address to this machine?
[05:40] <Boelcke> That'd solve the issue.
[05:40] <troy_s> boel:  set a static
[05:41] <skippy81> then type in fglrx-control to run it, it should run the config panel where you can adjust the settings
[05:41] <Healot> yeah STATIC
[05:41] <emi> skippy81: should I install fglrx-control?
[05:41] <molinero> !guadalinex
[05:41] <ubotu> NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, molinero
[05:41] <Boelcke> troy_s, I can see in ubuntu where to set a static, but do I need to do something in the router's admin page?  When I tried it, I lost my Internet connection...
[05:41] <skippy81> emi, yeah install it
[05:41] <troy_s> boelcke:  you will need to set a static ip.  the gnome networking gui lets you do that.
[05:41] <emi> skippy81: wait 2 sec.
[05:41] <troy_s> boelcke:  you will need to make sure sure that you are on the subnet of your router
[05:41] <Healot> molinero: you need support on Spanish-version of Ubuntu eh?
[05:42] <molinero> Hi Healot
[05:42] <grndslm> Boelcke, well...there's an extremely good change that you could install OpenWRT on that router....anytime the computer is restarted the router will assign your ethernet's MAC address to a static local IP (I.E. - <IP_ADDRESS>, no matter who gets on your router and in what order, that specific computer will always have the same ip
[05:42] <troy_s> boelcke:  meaning if your router is dealing out ips such as <IP_ADDRESS>, you will need to match the first three numbers... <IP_ADDRESS> or something
[05:42] <emi> skippy81: done.. what now?
[05:43] <Boelcke> Yes, I hear you about the first 3 numbers.  But when I tried that, and rebooted the machine, it still didn't connect.  Had to switch back to DHCP to get in internet connection...
[05:43] <torpedo|dog> Is anybody here good with tar?
[05:43] <skippy81> try fglrx-control in a terminal
[05:43] <Healot> tar? "man tar" is a good start
[05:43] <skippy81> if it wont run use sudo before it emi
[05:43] <grndslm> Boelcke, the router automatically assigns ip addresses to anything behind it with dhcp
[05:44] <Healot> torpedo|dog: just ask the question
[05:44] <emi> skippy81: I don`t have fglrx-control ...
[05:44] <grndslm> Boelcke, i'd highly recommend you look at OpenWRT
[05:44] <emi> skippy81: whereis fglrx-control .. nothing
[05:44] <torpedo|dog> I'm trying to extract a specific directory from a tar file, and I need to do it on the command line.
[05:44] <haloe> hey does anyone know where to find some nice ubuntu stuff?
[05:44] <grndslm> it's a linux distro designed for routers....enables quite a few features that linksys doesn't even let you think of touching
[05:44] <skippy81> emi, but it did install ?
[05:44] <emi> skippy81: yes
[05:44] <haloe> need to know where to start :)
[05:45] <Boelcke> grndslm, I'll take a look.  Are you implying that the Linksys firmware won't let me set a static IP?  Hmmm...
[05:45] <Tliug> Dapper releases daay after?
[05:45] <Tliug> :D
[05:45] <skippy81> emi one sec
[05:45] <gax> tar -xvf tarfile.tar dir
[05:45] <Tliug> Xubuntu too?
[05:45] <bur[n] er> Boelcke:  teh linksys firmware will do address reservation as well as let you do a static
[05:45] <emi> skippy81: dpkg --list |grep fglrx-control
[05:45] <emi> .ii  fglrx-control                          8.25.18+<IP_ADDRESS>-1                  Control panel for the ATI graphics accelerat
[05:45] <allen> can you install Nvidia drivers for ubuntu?
[05:45] <jrattner1> Where can i find information on how to create my own partition for MUSIC/MEDIA?
[05:45] <grndslm> I do believe so....at least my WRT54G v2.0 didn't let me assign static IPs, or i couldn't find it for the life of me
[05:45] <Healot> xvf for Ubuntu, no need the "-"
[05:45] <runes> problem with mysql install on ubuntu
[05:46] <haloe> which games and drivers work for ubuntu?
[05:46] <haloe> how to burn ubuntu from iso to cd?

[05:46] <torpedo|dog> Healot: was that in response to me?
[05:46] <skippy81> emi what does "fglrxinfo" give you?
[05:46] <emi> haloe: with nero

[05:46] <Boelcke> Thanks, folks, I'm figuring out that static address now...  Excuse me if I suddenly disappear during the process!
[05:46] <grndslm> haloe, maybe add a sudo in front of that, i think i would just in case
[05:46] <torpedo|dog> Healot: not quite what I was looking for.
[05:46] <gax> old habit, hard to kick ;-)
[05:46] <haloe> ??? grndslm
[05:47] <emi> skippy81: w8
[05:47] <haloe> grndslm: you mean burn to iso?
[05:47] <grndslm> haloe, you are trying to burn the iso to the disc, correct?
[05:47] <varsendaggr> haloe,    what up?

[05:50] <haloe> right here and cant find it lol!
[05:50] <Healot> unaffiliated/zoomcities
[05:50] <grndslm> applications, then accesories, then terminal
[05:50] <skippy81> i think we will be best off using "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and trying to get everything working with the driver emi
[05:50] <maikol-tmp> bimberi, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14848
[05:50] <emi> skippy81: ?
[05:51] <grndslm> haloe, i'd recommend that you place a shortcut on your panel because you should get used to using the terminal...
[05:51] <emi> skippy81: w8
[05:51] <haloe> hyper terminal?
[05:51] <haloe> what number to use?
[05:51] <haloe> ??? maybe Ill go with the application that burns iso lol!
[05:51] <grndslm> hyper terminal?
[05:51] <grndslm> what are you talkin' about?
[05:52] <Healot> yeah, Nero in Windows, and a lot more for Windows, haloe :)
[05:52] <grndslm> ahh....you're using windows
[05:52] <haloe> yes :)
[05:52] <emi> skippy81: http://pastebin.ca/59800
[05:52] <haloe> I am using windows xp and want to get ubuntu
[05:52] <emi> skippy81: i don`t know how to use that.. i just want 1600x1200 and 3d Acc...:p
[05:52] <haloe> :)
[05:52] <irina> hey guys, do you know how is udfutils configured ? I need to see a DVD RW  (formated in Windows with DirectCD) and I am not able to see anything in Linux
[05:52] <haloe> I just need to burn the iso now lol!
[05:53] <grndslm> well, i haven't used nero in a while...but cdburnerxp pro is a good free cd burner
[05:53] <cowbud> how do you boot to a CD in a mac powerbook?
[05:53] <skippy81> right ok, your running the vesa driver at the moent emi, its the worst one :)
[05:53] <skippy81> moment*
[05:53] <Healot> i got the burn-at-once program, small and cdrecord-based
[05:54] <skippy81> now open a terminal and type the following
[05:54] <irina> cowbud: maybe pressing C
[05:54] <bimberi> maikol-tmp: ok, you _only_ have universe enabled. You also need main (at least) and to open up the updates and security repos. Suggest uncommenting lines 5,6,10,11,33,34,36,37 in your sources.list
[05:54] <grndslm> cowbud, hold c at reboot
[05:54] <emi> skippy81: i did exaclty from the docs..
[05:54] <haloe> lol
[05:54] <emi> skippy81: should I change vesa with fglrx ? and reboot
[05:54] <maikol-tmp> bimberi, thanks will do
[05:54] <cowbud> Grndlvl: you rock thanks!
[05:54] <haloe> byebye windows hello linux
[05:54] <Healot> emi: only if you want to have 3D acceleration
[05:55] <Verithrax> Is there any way I can get my GTK apps to be themed without using gnome-session?
[05:55] <skippy81> emi 1) "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorgbackup.com"
[05:55] <emi> Healot: Yes I do..
[05:55] <irina> anyone expert in UDF ?
[05:55] <emi> skippy81: i have the backup..
[05:55] <skippy81> ok
[05:55] <Healot> emi: then choose the "fglrx" driver
[05:55] <Verithrax> IE, while using no desktop environment, just Fvwm2?
[05:55] <emi> Healot: ok.
[05:55] <skippy81> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:55] <emi> also on more thing
[05:56] <emi> how do I put 1600x1200 with 100Hertz ?
[05:56] <runes> is anyone here running apache2+php5+mysql?
[05:56] <skippy81> thats what we are going to do
[05:56] <skippy81> i will go through it with you
[05:56] <emi> skippy81: ok then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:56] <skippy81> have you got the menu up yet?
[05:56] <skippy81> yeah do that command
[05:56] <emi> skippy81: yes
[05:56] <skippy81> now throgh this process we pretty much stick to defaults
[05:57] <jrsims> how come my nvidia driver doesn't work after I reboot? It seems like it's reverting to the old settings.
[05:57] <skippy81> at the start you need to select the right driver, instead of vesa
[05:57] <emi> skippy81: attempt to audtodecect video.. Yes?
[05:57] <lampshade> is there a way to standardize all of the file open dialogs or is that just a dream.  Really sick of openoffice having a different file open than gaim which is different than firefox, etc etc
[05:57] <skippy81> emi no
[05:57] <skippy81> it doesnt matter too much really
[05:57] <emi> skippy81: should i press no?;p
[05:57] <skippy81> press no
[05:58] <runes> am I askign the wrong questions?
[05:58] <Boelcke> Back to doing a static IP behind my router:  If I do that, and forward some ports to the static IP, am I less secure? Should it mess up my other PCs on DHCP? I'm getting more confused, rather than less...
[05:58] <emi> skippy81: and select fglrx ?
[05:58] <drumline_> lampshade: the "open file" dialog?
[05:58] <skippy81> emi yes
[05:58] <Verithrax> Also, is there a way to use Nautilus just as a file manager without kicking off Gnome?
[05:58] <drumline_> Boelcke: yes.  less secure.
[05:58] <skippy81> now for the next options to do with keyboard and stuff, just keep pressing enter for the defaults
[05:58] <emi> skippy81: PCI:1:0:0 ?
[05:58] <skippy81> emi yes
[05:59] <Boelcke> BTW, my original question was, in network sharing a printer, I had to set ServerName = the IP address of the PC with the printer.  I don't know the format to just put the hostname in there...
[05:59] <emi> skippy81: Enter the amount of memory (in kB) to be used by your video card.
[05:59] <skippy81> leave it blank
[05:59] <emi> skippy81: my card is a radeon 9200 pro
[05:59] <emi> skippy81: ok
[05:59] <skippy81> framebuffer select no
[05:59] <emi> skippy81:  ok
[05:59] <emi> keybooard?
[06:00] <skippy81> just hit enter through the keyboard and language stuff
[06:00] <skippy81> keep hitting enter until you get to the monitor settings
[06:00] <jrsims> how do I get ubuntu to play mp3s?
[06:00] <skippy81> now do you know the specs of your monitor emi?
[06:00] <emi> skippy81: Please select the XKB rule set to use.
[06:00] <maikol-tmp> /quit
[06:00] <allen> you know its interesting they dont use the firefox.png in ubuntu..it looks like the mozilla.png
[06:00] <skippy81> just hit enter emi
[06:00] <BALLS_> INCONCIEVABLE!
[06:00] <skippy81> keep hitting enter until you see the word monitor :)
[06:01] <emi> skippy81: w8 ok
[06:01] <runes> is there a channel for advanced config of ubuntu?
[06:01] <Healot> jrsims: several ways
[06:01] <runes> ie servers etc
[06:01] <Healot> !mp3
[06:01] <ubotu> I guess mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[06:01] <nutterpc> it *really* is amazing how much of a difference making the hdparm changes for your system makes, especially on cd extraction
[06:01] <emi> skippy81: i got a meneu.. with dbe bitmap..etc
[06:01] <skippy81> ah ok
[06:01] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell jrsims about mp3
[06:01] <emi> skippy81: enter?
[06:01] <skippy81> right, is dri selected?
[06:01] <emi> skippy81: yes
[06:01] <apokryphos> ubotu: no mp3 is a patented format; to enable mp3 capability see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[06:01] <ubotu> apokryphos: okay
[06:01] <skippy81> ok hit enter
[06:02] <emi> skippy81:  Write default Files section to configuration file?
[06:02] <jrsims> Healot: thanks
[06:02] <skippy81> yes emi
[06:02] <emi> skippy81:  Attempt monitor autodetection?  ? NO i thing
[06:02] <emi> think
[06:02] <skippy81> right, do you know the specs of your monitor emi?
[06:02] <drumline_> Anyone try out Xen with Dapper?
[06:03] <RancidLM> hey all i removed my nvidia-glx and compiled my own nvidia drivers, but every time i reboot i have to re-install them because Xdisplay isn't able to start.. any suggestions on how to get my nvidia drivers to work at boot?
[06:03] <emi> skippy81: its a 21 monitor.. Vision Master pro 510 IIYAMA\
[06:03] <skippy81> ok hit no
[06:03] <emi> skippy81: in windows I stay with 1600x1200  100 Hertz
[06:03] <Verithrax> Does composite work with Dapper?
[06:03] <skippy81> ok good
[06:03] <skippy81> whats the next screen your on?
[06:04] <skippy81> soon it will ask you what resolutions you want i think
[06:04] <emi> skippy81: to select my resolution.
[06:04] <emi> skippy81:  Select the video modes you would like the X server to use.
[06:04] <skippy81> ok now be careful here, you need to use the arrow keys and the space bar to tick and untick boxes DONT press enter :)
[06:04] <emi> skippy81: done
[06:05] <skippy81> now i suggest you scroll down and use enter to untick all the low resolutions, just leave the one you want ticked
[06:05] <eggzeck> Verithrax, yes
[06:05] <emi> skippy81: now the menu with simple medium ..advanced
[06:05] <Verithrax> Cool. Out of the box?
[06:05] <alth> Greetings everyone.
[06:05] <skippy81> ok, i think you want medium
[06:05] <skippy81> it should let you choose 1600x1200 @ 100 as an option from the medium menu emi
[06:06] <Healot> yeah you can select screen resolution/monitor manually
[06:06] <runes> skippy81 are you familiar with mysql
[06:06] <emi> skippy81: its only 1600x1200 @ 85 .. its ok..
[06:06] <BALLS_> can mysql work with php
[06:06] <skippy81> ok cool
[06:06] <skippy81> yes mysql is traditionally used with php
[06:06] <runes> BALLS_ yes
[06:06] <BALLS_> cool
[06:06] <emi> skippy81:  Write monitor sync ranges to configuration file?
[06:06] <skippy81> infact php is useless without mysql
[06:06] <BALLS_> i wonder if it works with Ada too?
[06:06] <skippy81> yes emi
[06:07] <runes> BALLS_ that is what I am working on right now
[06:07] <emi> skippy81: donne
[06:07] <kspath> skippy81: postgresql?
[06:07] <BALLS_> Does PHP have an online manual?
[06:07] <emi> skippy81: reboot?
[06:07] <BALLS_> why can't they have a php manual on the internet
[06:07] <bintrue> google?
[06:07] <skippy81> yes it can work with postgre
[06:07] <kspath> BALLS_: Did you check?
[06:07] <skippy81> BALLS_ php has the best online manual ever
[06:07] <emi> skippy81: reboot..:P brb 2 sec
[06:07] <runes> BALLS_ if you install the php5 apache 2 and mysql
[06:07] <bintrue> Anyone have experience with Dual Booting Linux and Windows and keeping the clocks accurate?
[06:07] <skippy81> emi, ok reboot
[06:07] <runes> the only problem you may have is setting the default password for mysql
[06:07] <torpedo|dog> BALLS_: go to http://php.net/function_name
[06:07] <Madpilot> BALLS_, could you take the PHP chat to ##php or somewhere, please/
[06:07] <Madpilot> ?
[06:08] <BALLS_> Ok
[06:08] <cam> i'm using ubuntu 5.1 latest stable build ... is it normal that the kernel does not handle HT P4 processor per default ?
[06:08] <allen> night all...thanks again
[06:08] <BALLS_> I'm in ##php though
[06:08] <skippy81> your in ubuntu main BALLS_ :)
[06:09] <BALLS_> Yessir
[06:09] <kapputu> how do I install mplayer?
[06:09] <skippy81> kapputu it should be installed by default
[06:09] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell kapputu about mplayer
[06:09] <unix_infidel> ubotu, mplayer?
[06:09] <ubotu> mplayer is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto  For compiling, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31061
[06:10] <bimberi> bintrue: Try setting "UTC=no" in /etc/default/rcS
[06:10] <coder_> MPlayer > *
[06:10] <bintrue> beautiful, thanks bimberi
[06:10] <bimberi> bintrue: not yet, make sure it works first :)
[06:10] <skippy81> your back emi
[06:10] <emi> skippy81: i think i have some problemes.. w8 to paste them
[06:11] <kapputu> skippy81, it's not installed by default
[06:11] <bintrue> bimberi: testing, I'll let ya know
[06:11] <Managu> kapputu: /nick Managu_Away
[06:11] <kapputu> why doesn't firefox allow me to browse my network drives when I want to upload a file?
[06:11] <Managu> whoops
[06:11] <emi> skippy81: http://pastebin.ca/59804
[06:12] <skippy81> lol im suprised it made it into gnome
[06:12] <skippy81> ok something has gone wrong with the installation of your drivers
[06:12] <skippy81> right open a terminal
[06:12] <emi> skippy81: dont know.. but is here.. 1600 works fine
[06:13] <skippy81> oh does it work?
[06:13] <maikol> how do i start the xubuntu desktop once its installed
[06:14] <skippy81> emi move some windows around, it should 'feel' faster than with the vesa driver
[06:14] <skippy81> also open a terminal and type "glxgears"
[06:14] <coder_> Anyone used Linux From Scratch?
[06:15] <Healot> maikol: if you installed GNOME/KDE previously, just logon as usual, then on the gdm/kdm login screen, select Xfce desktop
[06:15] <bintrue> bimberi: Worked perfectly. Thanks
[06:15] <Healot> if it as to make default, choose make default if you want to do so
[06:15] <kapputu> bash is the default shell?
[06:15] <bimberi> bintrue: great :)
[06:15] <Healot> kapputu: YES
[06:15] <coder_> http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/index.html - Anyone used it before?
[06:15] <bimberi> kapputu: yes
[06:15] <Bilford> I have a scripting question.  when I run a script from the terminal, it works, but when it's run from the cron job thing, it doesnt
[06:16] <kspath> coder_: no one, not even the ones that started that site.
[06:16] <maikol> Healot, where it says 'session'? or do i have to restart to see that listing
[06:16] <Bilford> it runs some of it
[06:16] <Madpilot> coder_, #ubuntu-offtopic for non-tech support stuff, please
[06:16] <coder_> Oki
[06:16] <_vnobien> hi all, how to install this http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=31128&forummode=2&forumpage=18&forumexplevel=all
[06:16] <Healot> maikol: yup, where you can select the desktop... "Session"
[06:16] <jrsims_> is it me, or does screen updating in gnome seem sluggish? Like I'll alt+tab to my browser, and there's just lots of flicker as the window is rendered.
[06:17] <Healot> maikol: if you install xubuntu-desktop while in GNOME/KDE, just logout and logon back
[06:17] <skippy81> jrsims_ what is your hardware, in particular ram and gfx card
[06:17] <Healot> maikol: you may want to restart X by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[06:17] <jrsims_> 2.4 GHz intel, 256 mb ram, nvidia geforce 4 ti video board
[06:17] <AngryElf> so what happens to us Dapper Beta 2 people on 6-1?  Can i just run the update manager and be done with it?
[06:17] <Madpilot> AngryElf, yes
[06:18] <jrsims_> I have low ram
[06:18] <Ademan_> what sound daemon does flashplayer-nonfree use?
[06:18] <maikol> Healot, ok thanks, will try
[06:18] <Healot> 256MB is more than enough for ubuntu
[06:18] <DShepherd> _vnobien: its a mockup
[06:18] <emi> skippy81: it works.. but don`t know if I have 3d acc
[06:18] <Healot> Ademan_: the default
[06:18] <Ademan_> hrm, then i dont know why its not playing sound...
[06:18] <skippy81> emi, what are glxgears doing?
[06:19] <skippy81> are they running smooth
[06:19] <Healot> emi can't even start X?
[06:19] <AngryElf> ok, also, has anyone else had a problem compiling something that uses libfreetype2-dev in Beta 2??  I noticed the library itself had a linking problem
[06:20] <Ademan_> why dont you have him just do glxinfo?
[06:20] <SurfnKid> mosquito in my room!!!
[06:20] <Healot> glxgears >> shows the 3D acceleration in action
[06:20] <SurfnKid> have to kill it before it kills me!
[06:21] <Healot> the worst is Aedes Egypti
[06:21] <skippy81> Ademan_:  this is what he got from glxinfo http://pastebin.ca/59804
[06:21] <emi> skippy81: should I install a new kernel and after that update the  drivers?
[06:21] <emi> skippy81: kinda faster..
[06:21] <emi> skippy81: but if i moved them real quick.. its ramains a lot of windows...;p
[06:22] <Ademan_> his driver is pretty obviously borked
[06:22] <Ademan_> those look like backends to openGL calls to me
[06:22] <emi> grr Laggg
[06:22] <emi> Healot: X its running fine
[06:22] <emi> skippy81: glxgears same..
[06:22] <Healot> you don't have problem with 3D acceleration then
[06:22] <maikol-tmp> yep, xubuntu run much better on this 64mb RAM comp, thanks for the help
[06:22] <Healot> emi: tried supertux/planet-penguin racer?
[06:23] <maikol-tmp> ZoomCities, please dont spam
[06:23] <emi> Healot: nope
[06:23] <emi> Healot: should I try? to check if i Have 3d?
[06:23] <emi> Healot: i was thining to put 2.6.15.k7 and rebuild the drivers..
[06:23] <Healot> if you can run glxgears properly
[06:24] <cyorxamp> How can I burn an ISO?
[06:24] <Healot> hehe with fire, kidding
[06:24] <emi> Healot: w8
[06:24] <emi> Healot: http://pastebin.ca/59808
[06:24] <skippy81> emi try fglrxconfig or fglrx-config again, im sure they muist work
[06:24] <emi> skippy81: http://pastebin.ca/59808
[06:25] <emi> skippy81: nope..
[06:25] <emi> skippy81: onlye fgl_glxgears  fglrxinfo     fglrx_xgamma
[06:25] <cyorxamp> Does anyone know how I can burn an ISO?
[06:25] <cyorxamp> I am running Xubuntu 5.10
[06:25] <Healot> emi: compiled from the official Ati driver eh
[06:26] <alth> I think Dapper broke my MP3 support.
[06:26] <alth> !mp3
[06:26] <ubotu> I heard mp3 is a patented format; to enable mp3 capability see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[06:26] <Healot> cyorxamp: the worst you can do is burn it with "cdrecord"
[06:26] <alth> :\
[06:26] <cyorxamp> Healot, I tried that but it would'nt work for me
[06:26] <majd> !mp3
[06:26] <majd> !mp3
[06:26] <emi> Healot: I used the docs.. when installing ati drivers
[06:26] <cyorxamp> Healot, So I installed X and want to find a GUI recorder
[06:26] <majd> !mp3
[06:26] <ubotu> mp3 is, like, a patented format; to enable mp3 capability see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[06:26] <Healot> cyorxamp: or you can use xcdroast...
[06:27] <Healot> one of my favorite X application... (without GNOME/KDE needed)
[06:27] <skippy81> well emi, we have two choices
[06:27] <skippy81> we can either remove and reinstall the drivers
[06:27] <emi> skippy81: ?
[06:28] <emi> skippy81: not better to install a new kernel + reinstall drivers?
[06:28] <skippy81> or we can leave it as it is, i personally think that as long as x is booting and you have accel you can ignore the error messages
[06:28] <kapputu> Ubuntu has certainly become faster from the warty days
[06:28] <skippy81> emi what version of ubuntu are you currently running mate?#
[06:28] <Healot> kapputu: the loading time/installation?
[06:28] <emi> skippy81: 6.0.6 from distrowatch...:)
[06:29] <kapputu> Healot, not much difference in loading time
[06:29] <kapputu> but apps definitely load faster
[06:29] <emi> skippy81: ubuntu-6.06-rc-desktop-i386.iso
[06:29] <kapputu> I'm not running a high end machine
[06:29] <skippy81> open a term and do "uname -r" pls emi
[06:29] <emi> skippy81: 2.6.15-23-386
[06:29] <skippy81> ok same kernel as me
[06:29] <emi> skippy81: i could update to 2.6.15-23-k7
[06:30] <emi> skippy81: cuz I have a amd PC
[06:30] <Healot> linux-restricted-module-2.6.15-23-k7 available, emi?
[06:30] <skippy81> im not sure, is k7 still i386 architecture?
[06:30] <emi> Healot: yes.
[06:31] <Healot> did you isntall it, emi?
[06:31] <skippy81> !ati
[06:31] <ubotu> I heard ati is http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch04.html#installatidriver or  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[06:31] <emi> Healot: in a few sec..
[06:31] <SurfnKid> whoa the broadcasting team of the mexican television channel is broadcasting live from Amsterdam

[06:32] <majd> Hey, is there a way to get an xfce-like panel in gnome?
[06:32] <cyorxamp> What a useful name to give to it
[06:32] <emi> Healot: its not a good ideea?
[06:32] <Healot> if that linux-restricted-module is available for tht kernel version, you dont have to recompile the module
[06:32] <keith> !help
[06:32] <hpoc> !help

[06:39] <teslamike> can anyone help out with this?  (i've located the so file, but don't know where ubuntu keeps these things)
[06:40] <deoryp> Hi, i was wondering if someone chould help me with java not running in firefox 1.5 in unbuntu
[06:40] <coder_> Did you install the plugin for it?
[06:41] <torpedo|dog> deoryp: you have to link the plugin file from your profile folder.
[06:41] <Madpilot> teslamike, why don't you use the ATI drivers from Ubuntu's repositories?
[06:41] <emi> skippy81: how do i put 1024 to the slash screen when he boots?
[06:41] <deoryp> torpedo|dog not just from the firefox/plugins/ folder?
[06:42] <teslamike> madpilot: slow video playback under amd/turion64
[06:42] <teslamike> Madpilot, that's the real problem lol...  if you know of a fix for that...  ;)
[06:42] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell teslamike about ati
[06:42] <emi> skippy81: kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-k7 root=/dev/hda2 ro quiet splash ...?what next;)
[06:42] <torpedo|dog> deoryp: copy the one from the global firefox folder to your own profile folder
[06:42] <Madpilot> teslamike, see the PM from the bot, it might help
[06:42] <torpedo|dog> it would be at ~/.mozilla-firefox/plugins, I think.
[06:43] <varsendaggr> hey how do i kill kxdocker

[06:47] <deoryp> torpedo|dog i have .mozilla/firefox/yzyykpx9.default and then there is a bunch of stuff, but no plugins folder
[06:47] <torpedo|dog> If so, just make a new folder called 'plugins' and add it there and see if restarting Firefox and going to the site with Java works.
[06:47] <Thugy> i have asdl connection... ppoe modem and i cant add ppoe active connection because i dont have to option in networking to do so
[06:47] <Thugy> how do i go about that
[06:47] <torpedo|dog> deoryp: to clarify, it should be in .mozilla/plugins
[06:48] <torpedo|dog> Thugy: I'm not familiar with pppoe but I'm sure somebody here is.

[06:53] <bimberi> bigezz: log out, type ctrl-alt-f1 and log in in text mode, then type 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop' to shutdown X. 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start' will start X again if you need to
[06:53] <skippy81> emi soz was afk
[06:53] <drumline_> cyorxamp: check out the docs on nfs...
[06:53] <skippy81> emi i think vga=794 should do the trick

[06:54] <emi> skippy81: i have grub not lilo..
[06:54] <skippy81> that is for grub

[06:55] <cyorxamp> How I can I share a folder on linux for access by another PC using linux easily!?
[06:55] <drumline_> cyorxamp: seems like Konquerer has file sharing on the properties tab
[06:56] <cyorxamp> drumline_, not using konquerer tho
[06:56] <drumline_> cyorxamp: well...  try it.  :)
[06:56] <cyorxamp> Konquerer is shite
[06:56] <drumline_> cyorxamp: does Nautilus have file sharing built in?
[06:57] <cyorxamp> I'm not using nautilus either
[06:57] <Abo> how can I install the real player plugin for firefox
[06:58] <Shadow_mil> I had to reinstall xserver and I did and it works and all, but its missing Xsession, any suggestions?
[06:58] <drumline_> cyorxamp: um...   I really think you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.  Konquerer and possibly Nautilus have file sharing built-in.   Where do you think the functionality of creating shares belongs?   In the window manager?   No..  It belongs in the file manager or a control panel...   Use a file manager that does what you want or contribute code to your favorite file manager.
[06:58] <exterwin> hello
[06:58] <Eric> i have a sore back can someone fik it for me ?? :P
[06:59] <exterwin> .... is this the right place to look for luinx help
[06:59] <drumline_> exterwin: absolutely
[06:59] <exterwin> cool - can I ask you some questions
[06:59] <hpoc> how i can see the runing prozess?
[06:59] <drumline_> ask away
[06:59] <cyorxamp> drumline_, Da Dum SHchha!
[06:59] <Abo> hpoc, ps -auxwww
[07:00] <exterwin> first of all - can I switch between the Windows OS and the ubuntu Linux OS?
[07:00] <drumline_> cyorxamp: sure.  :)
[07:00] <drumline_> exterwin: yes.  You can dual boot your computer.
[07:00] <cyorxamp> drumline_, seriously - you need help
[07:00] <Abo> exterwin, what do you mean switch between?
[07:00] <Eric> does anyone here use GoPets ???
[07:00] <Shadow_mil> exterwin: you can setup a duel, boot to one of the other on boot up
[07:00] <Shadow_mil> or*
[07:00] <Abo> exterwin, you can have duel boot, and choose which OS to start
[07:01] <exterwin> does the duel boot take more profession skill to set up
[07:01] <Eric> is there a linux gaming channel ???
[07:01] <exterwin> I just got introduced to this OS a day agao from a friend- they reccommended this
[07:01] <dreamy> hi all
[07:01] <drumline_> cyorxamp: OK Mister Knows-who-drumline-is and Can-tell-that-drumline-needs-help.  Where did you get your Can-tell-if-somebody-needs-help training?
[07:01] <hpoc> i have installed "tor" & "privoxy" i start with root, but i cant use it. i want see is running this process
[07:01] <dreamy> i killed apt pakeges
[07:01] <Eric> exterwin dual booting is pretty simple but u need to install windows first
[07:01] <dreamy> how to recover it?
[07:01] <Shadow_mil> exterwin: Not really, if you know how to change your partition table
[07:01] <{V0rtexia}> wtf
[07:01] <Abo> exterwin, not really, you just run the ubuntu install and it will setup the dual boot
[07:01] <{V0rtexia}> I have no grub.conf
[07:01] <{V0rtexia}> in /boot/grub
[07:01] <{V0rtexia}> ?
[07:02] <exterwin> So it is automatically done for me
[07:02] <hpoc> menu.lst
[07:02] <hpoc> ups
[07:02] <Abo> exterwin, exactly
[07:02] <Eric> is there a gaming channel for linux on irc ??
[07:02] <maikol> is there a special way to mount an smbfs file system for ubuntu?
[07:02] <drumline_> exterwin: it's pretty automagic...     but, the basic thing to consider here is "Always have backups before going into uncharted territory with your computer"
[07:02] <KidVulcan> roight
[07:02] <Eric> !games
[07:02] <ubotu> hmm... games is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5153 or http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Loki_Installers_for_Linux_Gamers  News http://www.linux-gamers.net/
[07:03] <KidVulcan> so
[07:03] <exterwin> backups ok...
[07:03] <KidVulcan> anyone else get vertical lines when running the live disc?
[07:03] <Shadow_mil> exterwin: you do need to know alittle about partition tables, but you can easly get though it on mans and stuff
[07:03] <Shadow_mil> exterwin: lots of manullys out there that will step you though it
[07:03] <Eric> if you have two drives then dual booting is easy as piss
[07:04] <KidVulcan> ..?
[07:04] <drumline_> exterwin: nifty little program is here: www.acronis.com called True Image 9...  50 bucks and it's a steal of a deal.
[07:04] <Apostle^> drumline_, lol
[07:04] <drumline_> exterwin: creates an image of your drive and can store it on a USB external drive.
[07:04] <dreamy> i killed accidentally apt package. how to recover it?
[07:04] <h3h_timo> does anyone have alot of experience with azureus?
[07:04] <Abo> drumline_, what's that program for?
[07:04] <cyorxamp> drumline_, Riiiiiight there
[07:04] <Shadow_mil> Eric: true, but if you have one hard drive its a bit more tricky
[07:04] <KidVulcan> azureus = evil
[07:04] <KidVulcan> www.bitcomet.com
[07:04] <Shadow_mil> though still fairly easy
[07:05] <jrattner1> If I create a seperate partition for my music to be on, what mounting options should i specify in /etc/fstab (its ext3)
[07:05] <h3h_timo> you can get bitcomet for linux?
[07:05] <hpoc> how i can install the newst firefox/xchat or other programs? aptitude ist not the newst firefox or other program
[07:05] <drumline_> Abo: does backups...   from within windows and on a boot disc...    It can spin off DVD backups of an image of your hard drive allowing for bare metal restore.
[07:05] <KidVulcan> could someone explain why when using the live disc, my screen looks like this ||||||||| <-
[07:05] <Apostle^> hpoc, compile the source or google for a .deb package
[07:05] <drumline_> cyorxamp: what's that?
[07:05] <Speed-Link|war> Is there a possibility to run asp scripts on ubuntu server?
[07:05] <cyorxamp> Computer says... No
[07:05] <drumline_> somebody please give cyorxamp the boot.
[07:06] <hpoc> iam a noob. i have installed ubuntu 10min ago
[07:06] <hpoc> is my first try on linx & my english is bad :p
[07:06] <Speed-Link|war> Is there a possibility to run asp scripts on ubuntu server?
[07:06] <cyorxamp> hpoc, Welcome!
[07:06] <Apostle^> Speed-Link|war, .asp is windows i believe
[07:06] <cyorxamp> To heLL!
[07:06] <h3h_timo> KidVulcan, i have always hated azureus too.. all it does is gives me prolbems.. but i didnt know u could get bitcomet for linux
[07:06] <Speed-Link|war> Apostle^, so there's litterly no chance to run asp on linux ?
[07:06] <Shadow_mil> Speed-Link|war: ASP sucks, though I am sure you can find away, and I think apache has a ASP module two, but ASP is more for ISS or what ever MS has
[07:06] <KidVulcan> hpoc, when you installed, did your screen look like spagetti standing on end?
[07:06] <Apostle^> Speed-Link|war, i'd use php if i were you works on windows+linux
[07:06] <phidaux> hey, anyone in the mood to help a noob with an easyubuntu install?
[07:06] <hpoc> what?
[07:06] <KidVulcan> i wouldn't know if you can get bitcomet for linux because i haven't been able to get it to work
[07:06] <Apostle^> phidaux, sure
[07:07] <Speed-Link|war> yeah i know, but i haev a cup script on .asp so :(
[07:07] <exterwin> do you know if circuit city or others can install lunix for me??
[07:07] <maikol> help mountint smbfs

[07:07] <Shadow_mil> Yes PHP runs laps over ASP
[07:07] <h3h_timo> KidVulcan, what do you use for a bittorrent client then?
[07:07] <Apostle^> ASP is garbage
[07:07] <Abo> anyone knows how to install the realplayer plugin into firefox? I installed realplayer and it's working fine, but not into firefox
[07:07] <KidVulcan> bitcoment
[07:07] <KidVulcan> read..
[07:07] <KidVulcan> my screen looks like this after the startup sound -> ||||||||||||
[07:07] <Apostle^> h3h_timo, you could use shadow's bittorrent client
[07:07] <jrattner1> If I create a seperate partition for my music to be on, what mounting options should i specify in /etc/fstab (its ext3)
[07:07] <hpoc> nope my screen looks good :p
[07:08] <h3h_timo> Apostle^, does it produce pretty good speeds?
[07:08] <Madpilot> KidVulcan, what hardware?
[07:08] <KidVulcan> AMD
[07:08] <drumline_> exterwin: I wouldn't trust any of them...   Just make sure you have an image of your Windows operating system with an imaging program like True Image and hack away at it...   If you screw it up, you can put the boot disc(using True Image) in and restore your hard drive.
[07:08] <hpoc> so i musst search how i can compile an source an other:p
[07:08] <Apostle^> h3h_timo, yes
[07:08] <KidVulcan> EVGA 6800GT
[07:08] <h3h_timo> how do i install that?
[07:08] <Apostle^> jrattner1, like this, with the mnt point + /dev properly edited /dev/hdd1       /media/storage              ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1

[07:09] <nutterpc> anyone in here got a prob I can help out whit?
[07:09] <{V0rtexia}> new kernel is <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:09] <teslamike> Madpilot it didn't fix the problem...  heh, i checked the xorg config and restarted x
[07:09] <jrattner1> Apostle^, wont that make it readonly
[07:09] <teslamike> Madpilot dvd playback is still unwatchably slow
[07:10] <Apostle^> jrattner1, no
[07:10] <{V0rtexia}> Apostle^ ?
[07:10] <tritium> teslamike: you enabled DMA?
[07:10] <Madpilot> teslamike, have you enabled DMA?
[07:10] <{V0rtexia}> it's pointing to the old kernel
[07:10] <nutterpc> :P
[07:10] <teslamike> tritium dma is on
[07:10] <Apostle^> {V0rtexia}, i am not an expert on kernel compilation sorry
[07:10] <drumline_> nutterpc: tried out Xen?
[07:10] <teslamike> tritium in hdparm, yes?
[07:10] <nutterpc> drumline_: not really dude
[07:10] <teslamike> Madpilot yes, in the hdparm file
[07:10] <bimberi> jrattner1: "defaults" should be fine
[07:10] <h3h_timo> Apostle^, how do you install the shadow bittorrent client?
[07:10] <nutterpc> drumline_: just feel in the assisty type mood atm, that's all :)
[07:10] <tritium> teslamike: okak, that's usually the culprit
[07:11] <Madpilot> teslamike, hmm, if you've got DMA and good graphics drivers, I'm not sure what else to suggest... sorry.
[07:11] <drumline_> nutterpc: you can make your PC run very slow by firing up a 4 VM's... That'll give you something to work on.  :)
[07:11] <Apostle^> h3h_timo, it's installed by default i believe
[07:11] <nutterpc> teslamike: if you set your hdparm file up correctly, everything will run smooth
[07:11] <h3h_timo> ohhh.. its bittornado
[07:11] <h3h_timo> i didnt know that.. i can never get torrents to connect with it
[07:11] <nutterpc> drumline_: shouldn't be a problem on a Dual Core Opteron :)
[07:11] <bimberi> jrattner1: oops, i missed Apostle^'s answer (which looks better)
[07:11] <teslamike> nutterpc i have set hdparm...  i can paste up the file contents if you like...
[07:11] <drumline_> nutterpc: hell yeah buddy...  :)
[07:11] <Apostle^> nutterpc, i get in that mood, then somone pisses me off quick then i stop helping
[07:12] <chron> i'm trying to dual boot, it said it can't boot because it's FAT

[07:13] <{V0rtexia}> no initrd on ubuntu ?
[07:13] <Shadow_mil> I need some help, I am missing Xsession
[07:13] <nutterpc> drumline_: or games, that'd do the job :P
[07:13] <Apostle^> teslamike, man hdparm
[07:13] <pastyhermit> k3b is HUGE
[07:13] <h3h_timo> does anyone know an alternative to frostwire taht will run faster on my computer??
[07:13] <pastyhermit> 121MB
[07:13] <Apostle^> pastyhermit, no just some libraries
[07:13] <drumline_> nutterpc: you could run Windows in its proper place: as a child to Linux...
[07:13] <nutterpc> teslamike: pm me and I'll see what I can do to help ya
[07:13] <Madpilot> KidVulcan, you have to be registered to send PMs on freenode. what's up?
[07:13] <Apostle^> pastyhermit, just sudo apt-get install k3b
[07:13] <pastyhermit> It wants me to install 121MB of stuff
[07:13] <{V0rtexia}> no initrd on ubuntu ?
[07:14] <drumline_> rc.d?
[07:14] <nutterpc> drumline_: there's a reason I came to Ubuntu, to get away from windows ;)
[07:14] <Apostle^> pastyhermit, yea, that sounds right alot of libs..
[07:14] <pastyhermit> Apostle^: and it will ask me to install 121MB of stuff
[07:14] <drumline_> nutterpc: I wish...  I gotta support it..
[07:14] <crimsun> {V0rtexia}: for warty, hoary, and breezy, yes, initrd is used.
[07:14] <Abo> anyone knows a plugin to play videos in firefox
[07:14] <pastyhermit> wholly overkill
[07:14] <nutterpc> drumline_: so do I, so I feel your pain dude
[07:14] <pastyhermit> I just want to burn a CD and then nix this install
[07:14] <DarkTower> Abo: check out the Ubuntu starter guide
[07:14] <Apostle^> pastyhermit, then use gnome baker
[07:14] <nutterpc> I have to support Windows, Linux & BSD's
[07:14] <drumline_> nutterpc: however, with the newer processor, I'll be able to make Linux the base...   which is cool.
[07:14] <crimsun> {V0rtexia}: for dapper, initramfs is used instead (despite the filename retaining initrd nomenclature)
[07:14] <Madpilot> pastyhermit, it's a KDE app, it needs all the KDE libs
[07:14] <Apostle^> pastyhermit, sudo apt-get install gnomebaker
[07:14] <jeff_> help - anyone's mouse randomly changing color (black) ?
[07:15] <Abo> DarkTower, where can I find that?
[07:15] <Madpilot> pastyhermit, but if you just want to burn an ISO or data, use Nautilus
[07:15] <pastyhermit> ther eis no such
[07:15] <pastyhermit> ISO
[07:15] <pastyhermit> nautilus will make me install gnome
[07:15] <teslamike> nutterpc sorry, how do i do that?
[07:15] <DarkTower> Abo: Google "Ubuntu Starter Guide", read through for heaps of useful tips, including that one
[07:15] <teslamike> nutterpc can't remember my bitchx...
[07:15] <pastyhermit> although its not as bloated as ... KDE :D
[07:16] <pastyhermit> I just want something simple
[07:16] <pastyhermit> really really simple
[07:16] <DarkTower> Anybody here use gringotts for password management?
[07:16] <Madpilot> pastyhermit, which DE/WM are you running, then?
[07:16] <pastyhermit> XFCE
[07:16] <Surfnmate> whoa this storm was massive
[07:16] <pastyhermit> xubuntu
[07:16] <nutterpc> teslamike: right click on my name and select the last option in the drop down menu, if you use XChat
[07:16] <teslamike> nutterpc gah, brb then
[07:16] <drumline_> pasty: how is xubuntu?   easy to use?
[07:16] <pastyhermit> yes
[07:16] <drumline_> faster than KDE and Gnome?
[07:17] <drumline_> what's the claim to fame for that X window manager?
[07:17] <Quintok> yes
[07:17] <Madpilot> pastyhermit, ah. There must be some burning app in Xubuntu?
[07:17] <pastyhermit> except for dealing with XFCE its a bit combersome to create icons in the bar but ather than that its fast
[07:17] <pastyhermit> yes, WAY WAY WAY faster than KDE
[07:17] <KidVulcan> pilot, check pm's
[07:17] <pastyhermit> and a bit faster than gnome
[07:17] <drumline_> pasty: you on dvorak?
[07:17] <KidVulcan> i'll brb..
[07:17] <pastyhermit> dvorak? the keyboard?
[07:17] <drumline_> yeah
[07:17] <nutterpc> and also, I have one thing for those running on 512Mb RAM, ubuntu flies after its been skinned back a bit :)
[07:17] <pastyhermit> nope
[07:18] <drumline_> pasty: ah...   saw a type-o that is extremely uncommon but is easily done on a dvorak keymap :)
[07:18] <pastyhermit> Madpilot: I cant find one
[07:18] <jeff_> drumline_ what is "on Dvorak" ?
[07:18] <dreamy> i luse apt package, how to recover it????
[07:18] <Quintok> jeff different keyboard layout
[07:18] <dreamy> please help
[07:18] <jeff_> thanks
