[05:59] <ganymede> does anyone know how to modify the contact list appearance for pidgin so that each item takes up less vertical space? i don't see the setting for non-detail view contact list
[06:00] <___Alex___> is xubuntu 8.04 less buggy than it's gnome cousin?
[06:00] <Dillizar> YES nickrud
[06:00] <nickrud> wuxia not much, just nothing that I have uses /var/tmp
[06:00] <MasterShrek> ganymede, click buddies > show > uncheck buddy details
[06:01] <Dillizar> but i dont know how to set to butn off the window when i close it nickrud :P
[06:01] <m0u5e> does /var/tmp clear its cache after you reboot? i have an extremely small hd and would like to keep my tmp files as clean as possible...
[06:01] <ganymede> MasterShrek, thanks
[06:01] <nickrud> Dillizar that question, not sure what you meant
[06:02] <MasterShrek> m0u5e, maybe, if not you can always add a command to your startup that will do that each time it reboots
[06:02] <MasterShrek> m0u5e, then youll be sure it happens
[06:02] <halstead> I just hit a key combination that popped both my desktops up over a reflective background. I don't see it in the keyboard shortcuts. Does anyone know what it is?
[06:02] <m0u5e> MasterShrek: okay thx
[06:02] <zChris> halstead: check keyboard bindings of compiz
[06:02] <Dillizar> its a effect i saw in a movie nickrud
[06:02] <MasterShrek> halstead, was it alt+tab maybe?
[06:03] <halstead> zChris, where can I look at those?
[06:03] <dave11> is there a ping tester for linux?
[06:03] <MasterShrek> dave11, ping <host or ip>
[06:03] <MasterShrek> example: ping www.google.com
[06:03] <zChris> halstead, in Compiz advanced settings i think, not really sure
[06:03] <halstead> MasterShrek, Not alt-tab but it was something from compiz I think. Both virtual desktops at once. Very shiny.
[06:04] <nickrud> Dillizar ah, burn instead of butn?
[06:04] <dave11> MasterShrek:  will it analyze hops?
[06:04] <eclipse23> hi guys...i have a display problem after installing nvidia driver. problem is the default display is set to the ext output instead of the lcd screen. no luck with screens and graphics either. please someone
[06:04] <zChris> dave11: tracert ?
[06:04] <MasterShrek> dave11, doubtful im not really too experienced with that, nmap is probably more what you are looking for
[06:04] <dave11> zChris: thanks
[06:04] <MasterShrek> halstead, ctrl+alt+tab?
[06:04] <minusidea> whats the terminal command to look at the hardware report?
[06:05] <Starnestommy> minusidea: sudo lshw
[06:05] <dave11> looknig for something like ping plotter
[06:05] <minusidea> thank you
[06:05] <Starnestommy> dave11: graphical or text-based?
[06:05] <nickrud> Dillizar if that's what you want, the windows to burn themselfs off the screen, it's under animations
[06:05] <tieTYT2> can anyone tell me how to write a script that will stop a command returned from ps?  I'm piping to a grep to find it, and it always returns the grep command itself so i'm not sure how to be sure i'm killing the right one
[06:05] <dave11> Starnestommy: graphical
[06:06] <halstead> MasterShrek, Not that either but it does alternate the screen that shows the alt-tab line-up.
[06:06] <zChris> dave11: if you dont find any software for linux that are like pingplotter you can always try to wine the original
[06:06] <eclipse23> hi guys...i have a display problem after installing nvidia driver. problem is the default display is set to the ext output instead of the lcd screen. no luck with screens and graphics either. :( im using geforce2 go, on ubuntu 7.10 installed with restricted drivers mangr
[06:07] <dave11> zChris: heard too many nightmare stories about that
[06:07] <___Alex___> I'm on ubuntu 8.04 right now and was wondering if I switched to kubuntu or xubuntu, would stability improve?  Or should I consider going to 7.10 instead?
[06:07] <nickrud> wine is negative energy
[06:07] <zChris> dave11: weird, one guy says it works absolutly fine under wine
[06:07] <zChris> nickrud: wine is doing a great job :<
[06:08] <halstead> MasterShrek, zChris It wa sthe expo effect in compiz Super+E (which is windows+E for me.) Had to install compizconfig-settings-manager and run ccsm to find it.
[06:08] <nickrud> zChris it always bites my butt, and I don't have the inclination to tweak it.  I run a vm instead.
[06:08] <dave11> zChris: just dont want mix windows with linux, creaps me out..:)
[06:08] <zChris> dave11: i just use it to play games
[06:09] <eclipse23> windows on linux? thats cool
[06:09] <SuperQ> yes :)
[06:09] <amenado> tieTYT2-> what is your command line?
[06:09] <tieTYT2> bash
[06:09] <tieTYT2> or you mean the command i use?
[06:09] <tieTYT2> ps aux | grep java
[06:09] <dave11> makes it feal dirty
[06:09] <dave11> lol
[06:10]  * nickrud agrees with dave11 , like totally
[06:10] <amenado> !who | tieTYT2
[06:10] <dave11> lol
[06:10] <tieTYT2> i was talking to amenado
[06:10] <amenado> tieTYT2-> well put my nick on the front, so i would be able to follow
[06:10] <LinuxMercedes> Is rebuilding the initramfs the last thing a do-release-upgrade command does?
[06:10] <tieTYT2> amenado: do you want me to repeat?
[06:11] <dave11> ?me thinks nickrud=cool
[06:11] <amenado> tieTYT2-> yes
[06:11] <eclipse23> hi guys...i have a display problem after installing nvidia driver. problem is the default display is set to the ext output instead of the lcd screen. no luck with screens and graphics either. :( im using geforce2 go, on ubuntu 7.10 installed nvidia with restricted drivers mangr
[06:11] <tieTYT2> amenado: or you mean the command i use? ps aux | grep java
[06:11] <zChris> eclipse23: you 100 sure it is on the ext ?
[06:12] <amenado> tieTYT2-> and that gives you how many lines? ie how many processes that has java on it?
[06:12] <twiztr> Heyy, I really need some help...
[06:12] <nickrud> tieTYT2 if you know you're looking for java, you might try pidof java
[06:12] <nakedgoat>  twiztr : with what?
[06:12] <tieTYT2> amenado: it gives me 2
[06:13] <twiztr> My 160 GB harddrive is about to fail, so I got a new 250 GB drive, but they are both SATA, and I only have two sata cables (my DVD is sata too), so i cant boot to a norton ghost CD and clone the failing CD
[06:13] <tieTYT2> nickrud: sweet, i didn't know that existed
[06:13] <tieTYT2> that works perfectly
[06:13] <twiztr> so i need to know how to make an exact copy of one partition on the drive im on now
[06:13] <twiztr> to the other one
[06:13] <eclipse23> zChris: yes...under screens and graphics the 1st monitor is the lcd. but nothing appears in the lcd so i connected another ext monitor and the screen appears there instead. i cant seem to get the laptop screen to be default
[06:13] <twiztr> without the need for a CD
[06:14] <Ontolog> what is a good iTunes-like MP3 player?
[06:14] <twiztr> and my hard drive can fail at any second, theoretically.
[06:14] <neil_d> hi, i am having some trouble with a USB modem :(  it appears that at startup the driver sometimes doesn't find the modem, but if I unplug the modem and plug it back in all is OK :)  is the a way of restarting the USB system or something to simulate a device unplug and plug in ?
[06:14] <egc> forgive me if this is a simple question...but im trying to copy the symlinks in /etc/fonts/conf.d to a USB drive...and I can't find the option to 'cp' to do so
[06:14] <Ontolog> ideal would be one that can read an iTunes Library XML file
[06:14] <nakedgoat> seems like I would just use another PC, or a USB drive cable.
[06:14] <zChris> eclipse23: hmm sorry cant really help ya :/
[06:14] <twiztr> so, any one have any ideas?
[06:14] <nakedgoat> I'm sure these guys have a better idea.
[06:14] <zChris> twiztr: install the 250gb and install an OS on that one, plug in the first sata and ghost it ?
[06:15] <nakedgoat> crazy huh
[06:15] <eclipse23> zChris: thanks bro...well worse come to worst ill just switch back to vesa :(
[06:15] <zChris> eclipse23: so it works in vesa `?
[06:15] <tieTYT2> thanks guys
[06:15] <eclipse23> zchris: problem is only after installing the nvidia driver
[06:15] <amenado> tieTYT2-> also you can  pipe it to grep -v grep to remove the last grep on the result
[06:15] <zChris> eclipse23: have you checked xorg.conf for hints ?
[06:16] <jjgalvez> can anyone help me with my laptop, when I plug in my headphones the main speakers don't go off
[06:16] <oddalot> duct tape
[06:16] <Daemonax> Anyone here got any experience with getting connected to the net in China? Works fine on my friends windows machine, but can't get my laptop to auth.
[06:17] <pyro17_> after accidently deleting all my secondary groups but audio i am trying to get back the rest but cannot seem ti
[06:17] <pyro17_>  i booted my live cd, mounted / and edited the /etc/group and added myself to admin, but now that im back in my normal user i used " sudo usermod -G XXXX,adm,uucp,dialout,cdrom,audio,dip,video,plugdev,scanner,netdev,powerdev,admin XXXX " it doesnt complain but id XXXX still only says im part of audio and XXXX only
[06:17] <zChris> pyro17_: tried logout and in ?
[06:17] <pyro17_> yea
[06:18] <pyro17_> zChris logged out and back in to restart the shell
[06:18] <amenado> Daemonax-> are you in china now? are you using linux or windows now?
[06:18] <eclipse23> zchris:  what exactly should i look for in xorg.conf. i tried to meddle with it but no luck too
[06:18] <zChris> eclipse23: pastebin it
[06:18] <nickrud> pyro17_ logged out completely, to the gdm login screen? If you have any login anywhere, the group change won't get recognized
[06:19] <eclipse23> zchris: whats that? sorry im new to ubuntu
[06:19] <zChris> !pastebin
[06:20] <pyro17_> nickrud i log out to the login page
[06:20] <pyro17_> no sessions still running
[06:20] <Yarcanox> I'm on windows XP and currently downloading the iso image for ubuntu, but now facing a problem: I have no program to burn this onto a CD. does someone know a free burning program or a trail version of a commercial one that will burn that bootable iso image onto a CD for me?
[06:20] <Yarcanox> I know plenty of free cd burning programs for linux but not a single one for windows o.O
[06:20] <nakedgoat> Yarcanox: virtualbox
[06:20] <nickrud> pyro17_ try clt-alt-f2, log in there, then  sudo adduser XXXX adm , then do the logout/in thing there (faster turnaround on troubleshooting)
[06:21] <sols> cdburnerxp
[06:21] <eclipse23> yarcanox:nero
[06:21] <zChris> Yarakyo: imgburn ?
[06:21] <nickrud> pyro17_ at the login screen, that is.
[06:21] <nakedgoat> no need to burn
[06:21] <glitch942004> download img burn
[06:21] <zChris> eclipse23: is not free :P
[06:21] <glitch942004> imgburn is free free free
[06:21] <nickrud> Yarakyo infrarecorder is gpl, works well
[06:21] <Yarcanox> Yarakyo is not me =P
[06:21] <nakedgoat> Yarcanox: yeah imgburn is free, so is damon tools
[06:21] <eclipse23> zchris:yeah its not. ahaha
[06:22] <zChris> nakedgoat: psst.. daemon*
[06:22] <nickrud> running gpl on windows makes me feel virtuously subversive
[06:22] <nakedgoat> I can spell corona
[06:22] <eclipse23> zchris: what happens if i pastebin stuff...?
[06:22] <bpat1434> are there any really good directions on replacing Firefox in ubuntu?  I'd like to get rid of the FF3.0b5, and use rc1
[06:23] <eclipse23> nakedgoat:corona is good
[06:23] <zChris> eclipse23: well i can see it :P
[06:23] <nakedgoat> Si si
[06:23] <pyro17_> nickrud says im not on the sudoers list O_O
[06:23] <nakedgoat> back to topic ;)
[06:23] <SkiddyFisk> How come some packages will only update in the graphical package manager, but not in apt-get in the console?
[06:23] <scunizi> SkiddyFisk, sometimes you have to sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:23] <eclipse23> zchris: so us cant see my post just now? the long one?
[06:23] <nakedgoat> SkiddyFisk: your sources? can you elaborate?
[06:23] <u007> hi, i found 1 of the mirror for package has been down, is there any command for me to ask apt-get to choose another mirror? or i have to edit the configuration file
[06:24] <nickrud> pyro17_ aha!
[06:24] <zChris> eclipse23: where? give me the link
[06:24] <zChris> u007: tried man ?
[06:24] <karlito> Hi. I set up a bind server. stop working. syslog = unexpected RCODE (refused) <IP_ADDRESS>#53. is that because my domain is unregister for now and I got kick ? anyway a restart make it work again, I just don't like window like troubleshooting
[06:24]  * Yarcanox is already excited about installing and running new ubuntu in half an hour :)
[06:24] <eclipse23> zchris: im lost...nvm
[06:24] <nickrud> SkiddyFisk like what? That's not right ...
[06:24] <pyro17_> nickrud but i used the live cd to manually add myself to the admin
[06:25] <zChris> eclipse23: you use pastebin to paste text there for other to see
[06:25] <bpat1434> Anyone?  Replace the distributed Firefox with that of Firefox rc1?
[06:25] <zChris> pyro17_: did chroot to the ubuntu on the hd ?
[06:25] <scunizi> bpat1434, we'll probably get the update pretty soon..
[06:26] <nakedgoat> bah
[06:26] <joelsolanki> Hi room
[06:26] <joelsolanki> good evneing
[06:26] <Yarcanox> bpat1434 what about apt-removing the old/current firefox and make/install the new one?
[06:26] <nickrud> pyro17_ something went wrong in your add then. I'd suggest booting in recovery mode (hit esc when you see something about grub on boot) and running adduser XXXX admin to make sure it takes properly
[06:26] <Yarcanox> at least that's the way I replaced wine
[06:26] <joelsolanki> i am ubuntu latest and i have a iso cd which is created on debian
[06:26] <bpat1434> yarcanox:  I've read that it would break some things in ubuntu that rely upon the gecko rendering engine
[06:26] <pyro17_> zChris i mounted the hdb1 and then edited /etc/group
[06:26] <eclipse23> zchris: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13416/ <--is this it?
[06:26] <bpat1434> scunizi:  I'd rather get all updates, not just security updates
[06:26] <Yarcanox> oh ok. so you have to ask someone else then =P
[06:26] <nakedgoat> O my G0d!
[06:26] <bpat1434> lol
[06:27] <shadowimmage> Hey- just looking for some guidance here, I updated to the latest version of Ubuntu on my laptop, and after the update my wireless card won't work.
[06:27] <zChris> eclipse23: the idea was that you should pastebin your xorg.conf :)
[06:27] <pyro17_> nickrud will adduser be bad if the user already exists
[06:27] <nakedgoat> ;P
[06:27] <bpat1434> shadowimmage: restricted drivers?
[06:27] <SkiddyFisk> nickrud: I just installed a fresh system of 7.04 and did a full apt-get update, then upgrade. after I finished that there was still a bunch of ssl and libssl type stuff that wouldn't update unless I went for the little tray icon
[06:28] <Flannel> bpat1434: The updates will take a little while for firefox, because its currently UDS, but the repos will be updated soon
[06:28] <shadowimmage> bpat1434: I wasn't using any before in the last version before 8.04
[06:28] <joelsolanki> the ISO is binded to work cdrom on /dev/hdc but my computer doesnt have /dev/hdc. I have /dev/hdb so i want to change the ISO content from /dev/hdc to /dev/hdb so i can use that ISO image and install on my computer. Do you think mounting the ISO and changing the content and creating ISO with changed files should work ?
[06:28] <sladjan> I have installed KDE4 and after some time firefox freezed and I reboot it manualy... When it turned on panel has dissapeared... I don't know what to do?? PLEASE HELP ME

[06:28] <bpat1434> shadowimmage:  Just going off my experience.  I have to use the Broadcom restricted driver for my wireless card
[06:28] <nakedgoat> FF!
[06:28] <Flannel> sladjan: Try #kubuntu for KDE4 help (they may redirect you to #kubuntu-kde4)
[06:28] <nickrud> SkiddyFisk the guys that mentioned apt-get dist-upgrade probably were on the right trail then
[06:29] <eclipse23> zchris: im on it...hahaha that was a bimbo mistake ill copy the xorg
[06:29] <SkiddyFisk> nickrud: weird. well, update manager did it anyway. I was just curious.
[06:29] <Daemonax> amenado: I'm in China now, using GNU/Linux of course.
[06:29] <S4nD3r_> how to reinstall my videocard as was in default instalation???
[06:29] <shadowimmage> bpat1434: So even though the ubuntu site says that my card should work under airo or airo_cs I should get the Broadcom?
[06:29] <zChris> joelsolanki: how the hell did you end up binding your cdrom to /dev/hdc ?
[06:30] <starz> sigh
[06:30] <shadowimmage> bpat1434: or at least try?
[06:30] <bpat1434> shadowimmage: no.  My card is a Broadcom card, I was just offering a suggestion
[06:30] <bpat1434> as to what the cause may be
[06:30] <sladjan> I have installed KDE4 and after some time firefox freezed and I reboot it manualy... When it turned on panel has dissapeared... I don't know what to do?? PLEASE HELP ME
[06:30] <bpat1434> shadowimmage, not saying you should install it
[06:30] <nakedgoat> gnome ;)
[06:30] <bpat1434> sladen, use #kubuntu-kde4
[06:30] <shadowimmage> bpat1434: alright, just making sure
[06:31] <zChris> sladjan: try rename your .kde folder to kde.backup and try to login, if that dont work rename it back to .kde
[06:31] <amenado> Daemonax-> so what was your question earlier? you cant connect your laptop? running which os?
[06:31] <nakedgoat> zChris: or create a new ueser? same deal
[06:31] <sladjan> zChris: where is that folder, I am new in linux
[06:31] <sladjan> hmmm
[06:31] <zChris> sladjan: in your home folder?
[06:32] <zChris> nakedgoat: or reinstall ubuntu, that works :)
[06:32] <Daemonax> amenado: laptop is running Debian, but I tried the Ubuntu livecd and same problem. Can't seem to auth, plug in the ethernet cable and it finds a protected 802.1x connection, I've got username and password, but it just won't auth.

[06:33] <johntramp> Hey.  Would the wire colours inside a parallel port cable be the same for each cable?  Is there any standard?

[06:36] <Level1Tech> sorry...I did ask for some desktop background help
[06:36] <zChris> eclipse23: you got my pm ?
[06:36] <Level1Tech> I think thats ubuntu related
[06:36] <Flannel> Level1Tech: you can do it from the right click menu
[06:36] <dassouki> nakedgoat, it's one of those topics that's hard to know in which room to ask the question
[06:36] <Level1Tech> oh snap....you da man
[06:36] <nakedgoat> dassouki: what is ur question?
[06:36] <amenado> Daemonax-> that is pretty straightforward isnt it? you have a dsl modem which makes the connection then the modem hands off to your pc right?
[06:37] <sja> hello, all! im have next problem: my update notifer say: you have XXX updates aviable. im clicking to icon and automatically runing update manger (all, ok). bu when im click to INSTALL - update manager reload server list and package information and all, im again press install - and this is to frever. apt-get upgrade worked great. what a resolved my problem? big thanx/

[06:37] <shadowimmage> Anyone have ideas to fix my wireless card problem? Ubuntu fails to boot when the card is inserted when I boot, and it also won't work when I try to insert it after logging into ubuntu
[06:37] <nakedgoat> minusidea: a ./*.bin?
[06:37] <Flannel> bpat1434: The easiest way is to just wait for it to be updated in the repository
[06:37] <bpat1434> Flannel: I don't want to ;)

[06:38] <Daemonax> amenado: nope, it's in an apartment, they just provide the rooms with an ethernet connection, I guess to a central radius server or something, and I have to provide the correct auth details, which I've tried, but it won't work. :-/

[06:41] <error0327> lem because they get the same names the system change it withe the old files that is craze
[06:41] <amenado> Daemonax-> perhaps thats where you need to focus on, the radius server authentication...but you get an ip address already?

[06:41] <tmapj> can anyone tell me how to get the virtual midi keyboard working?
[06:42] <scunizi> dassouki, dimdim is another and free

[06:42] <zChris> !search nvidia
[06:42] <zChris> !help
[06:42] <Yarcanox> LoL
[06:42] <amenado> error0327-> hard to follow your statements, you created a directory and put text files and then what?
[06:42] <zChris> How do i search for a package?
[06:43] <dpowerd> zChris, apt-cache search packagename
[06:43] <dassouki> scunizi, nakedgoat dimdim dot com might be exactly what i was looking for, thanks for the advice :D
[06:43] <eclipse23> zchris: got ur pm workin on it
[06:43] <zChris> i meant with ubottu :P
[06:43] <dpowerd> :p

[06:43] <tmapj> can anyone tell me how to get the virtual midi keyboard working?
[06:43] <Daemonax> amenado: yeah, it gives me an ip address. Hmmm.

[06:44] <shadowimmage> Anyone have ideas to fix my wireless card problem? Ubuntu fails to boot when the card is inserted when I boot, and it also won't work when I try to insert it after logging into ubuntu. Also, sleep doesn't work after update from 7.xx to 8.04

[06:44] <aluser> I have a logitech webcam with a built-in microphone. The webcam works, the usb microphone device is detected (and I can access its mixer), but I can't seem to get any sound from it. It works fine in other OSs, any ideas? I just don't know how to work this newfangled mixer thingamajig
[06:44]  * nakedgoat doens't do video or wireless
[06:45] <Daemonax> amenado: I need to auth.
[06:45] <Yarcanox> tmapj I dunno what a virtual midi keyboard is, but normal midi output (playing of .mid-files) can be enabled by installing a software synth, e.g. timidity (just search apt-get/aptitude for it)
[06:45] <zChris> eclipse23: well im off to bed, if you havent already you can try the advice i gave you in pm :)
[06:45] <zChris> Gn
[06:46] <nakedgoat> tmapj: didn't u get ur vbox up and running?
[06:46] <amenado> Daemonax-> to what server you need to authenticate? can you ping www.yahoo.com? is your route table okay? you have /etc/resolv.conf  and filled with a name server?
[06:46] <tmapj> Yarcanox virtial midi keyboard is a virtual synth
[06:46] <ringer> how do i play .flv videos?

[06:50] <Lanlost> I love LinuxMint (Ubuntu derivative) and have been using Linux for years.. theres always one problem that keeps me from not having the option of dual booting
[06:50] <Lanlost> The hoary release is.. ridiculously great. I'm just having a strange problem with video.
[06:51] <Daemonax> amenado: can't, I can't connect to the net with that machine. I could copy it to this windows machine, but it'll have to wait. Thanks anyway.
[06:51] <amenado> error0327-> why are you editing a binary with a text editor? and i dont follow the rest of what you said, you moved the files to where? and create another what?
[06:51] <Flannel> Lanlost: Hoary was a few years ago, you mean Hardy?
[06:51] <Lanlost> haha yeah sorry. I used to use slack and Hoary was my first Ubuntu distro
[06:51] <amenado> Daemonax-> you have a usb pen drive? transfer it using that..or manually type it, am out of here soon, so be quick
[06:51] <nakedgoat> bah...
[06:52] <Daemonax> amenado: yeah I've got one. But it doesn't matter, I've got to go now myself. Thanks though.
[06:52] <amenado> ok laters
[06:53] <Lanlost> regardless.. I tried googling it but no luck narrowing well enough.. Have any of you ever ran glxgears and when you move the window... it doesn't .. erm. erase the old window?
[06:53] <Nyad> Hi, does anyone here know how to install a kubuntu off an ISO? without using a CD?
[06:53] <guiest> ... and my problem?
[06:53] <Flannel> !install | Nyad
[06:53] <Lanlost> I can move the window.. leave a ghost imprint.. move, leave a ghost imprint.. and when I move the window over the imprints.. it does erase them
[06:53] <Flannel> Nyad: that page (first link) has a number of methods
[06:53] <Lanlost> It's like its drawing with dirty rectangles but not erasing that area
[06:54] <error0327> these is a real problem some one must fix that !!!
[06:54] <Nyad> Flannel, tnx

[06:55] <aluser> capture from usb mic, anyone help? kind of a dealbreaker here :P
[06:55] <Lanlost> Maybe I'll just do the install and then come back and ask again
[06:55] <wolfwalker> It installs no problem.  But when I restart and grub comes up from the flash drive's bootloader, it won't load an OS.
[06:56] <my_haz> i kno i am late but "turn's out distro is just windows vista with a few custom themes" just cracks me up
[06:56] <nakedgoat> lol
[06:56] <Lanlost> I'm hoping once it's installed and I can screw with xorg.conf I can fix it. I bought a replacement ATI card for my old Geforce in which I broke it's fan (compressed air blew it backwards) thinking that ATIs drivers were better than nVidias
[06:56] <Lanlost> now it seems I made the wrong choice and should have used an nVidia card again
[06:56] <my_haz> i <3 xkcd
[06:57] <Flannel> my_haz: #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:57] <zoko> hi all

[07:02] <Nyad> Flannel, I don't understand something on that page. could you help me? of you scroll down to the part where they explain how to do this from linux it has: sudo chmod `whoami`:`whoami`
[07:02] <error0327> maybe the txt editor do that becuse it make a file.xxx~ it is some kind of backup
[07:02] <Nyad> Flannel, if I put my name there it doesn't work
[07:04] <nakedgoat> bh!
[07:05] <Lanlost> wow.. sda1?

[07:07] <minusidea> i'm having the same issue suthesan
[07:07] <Nalleman> hi, yesterday i downloaded the game "frets on fire" and it played just fine. Now nothing happens when I click the shell script that runs the bin. Nothing have changed in my configuration overnight exept that i have restarted the computer. What might have happened?
[07:07] <minusidea> only i am using the S3 UniChrome Pro (vn800) video card
[07:07] <suthesan> minusidea:  did u find any solution?
[07:08] <Lanlost> I've had that problem minusidea/suthesan
[07:08] <minusidea> no i've been searching the forums, the only thing I did see as a possible solution is to modify your xconfig file
[07:08] <Lanlost> Not on my laptop, but on my desktop. The resolution is stuck, correct?
[07:08] <minusidea> right
[07:08] <suthesan> yea
[07:08] <steven_> Hello?
[07:08] <minusidea> when i go to settings it only shows 640x480
[07:09] <suthesan> yea
[07:09] <Lanlost> If you go to your display thing.. does it only have like one resolution listed and one refresh rate?
[07:09] <minusidea> i can't get any other res
[07:09] <minusidea> yes
[07:09] <suthesan> minusidea: :(
[07:09] <suthesan> anyoneeeee
[07:09] <Lanlost> I can probably help you
[07:09] <suthesan> i tried find ubuntu forum
[07:09] <steven_> I'm very new to IRC ^^;; Could someone please explain to me the concept?
[07:09] <Lanlost> I was right about to do an install though
[07:09] <suthesan> Lanlost: pls
[07:09] <Lanlost> I would be back in like 20 minutes.. I mean I really want to help now
[07:09] <Lanlost> I've got my own problem .. let me see what I can do
[07:09] <suthesan> Lanlost: pls spend 10 mins with us
[07:10] <steven_> I don't understand a few things, it seems... Mainly- how is it superior to any other chat software and what secret abilities allow people to share files and programs through it?
[07:10] <steven_> My brother, for instance, had some IRC channel through which he found anime episodes. How does that work?
[07:10] <Lanlost> Trust me, I will.. my question hasn't been answered, I know the feeling. It doesn't mean I'm not looking though. I'll spend 3 hours if that's what it takes. It helps me learn too
[07:10] <suthesan> :)
[07:10] <Lanlost> I was just saying though, I was literally right about to run an install
[07:10] <Lanlost> but I'll see if I can put it off
[07:11] <Lapinux> you guys might try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[07:11] <tux97> hello i need some help i added a external hd to samba and i used the chmod 077 comand for it and now i dont have network or net access any ideas?
[07:11] <Lanlost> I hit enter a lot, you should join another channel so we don't have to scroll though a crap ton of text
[07:11] <Swift_Fox> hi i installed mysql-admin but it wont show up in my applications-systemstools menu =(
[07:11] <suthesan> Lapinux:  yes..i tried it..but its same..

[07:12] <Lapinux> suthesan: same thing happened to me, i had to edit the config file
[07:12] <Swift_Fox> what do i have to edit?
[07:12] <Erealz> hey is ubuntu aware that hardy is very bugy
[07:12] <Erealz> ?
[07:12] <suthesan> Lapinux:  can guide me or give web add...i can refer?
[07:12] <tv7497> erealz : ubuntu ???
[07:12] <Erealz> yes
[07:13] <tv7497> well they created hardy

[07:13] <_vampiro_> Olà A Tutti i Presenti Di  #ubuntu
[07:13] <Erealz> mine will freezup or hult for no reason
[07:13] <Lapinux> suthesan: do you know where the config file is?
[07:13] <Nalleman> Erealz, what do you mean?
[07:13] <suthesan> Lapinux:  no bro..
[07:13] <Erealz> well sometimes
[07:13] <minusidea> i don't either
[07:13] <Erealz> the screen will go black
[07:13] <Swift_Fox> erealz; did you look at your system monitor to see what might be taking your resources?
[07:13] <minusidea> i'm trying to edit the xconfig as well :P
[07:13] <ompaul> !it | _vampiro_
[07:13] <Erealz> like the monitor gos into standby mode
[07:13] <Erealz> but it not
[07:14] <tv7497> erealz : which 1 freezes entire system or any particular apps
[07:14] <Swift_Fox> lapinux:thanks for trying
[07:14] <steven_> Rawr...
[07:14] <Lapinux> suthesan: your config file is at /etc/X11/xorg.conf  make sure you make a backup before you edit it
[07:14] <Erealz> umm sometime the everthing on the desktop freezs only the mouse moves?....
[07:14] <steven_> Now that I have returned, can someone please explain to me IRC? At least in general
[07:14] <Lapinux> Swift_Fox: thanks for trying what?
[07:15] <buntunub> Erealz in terminal do $cat /var/log/messages | more and scroll down to where you can find some messages about the lockup to see the reason why
[07:15] <Erealz> I can't seem to run compiz with out it freezing or hulting on me
[07:15] <Swift_Fox> lapinux:thanks for trying to help.
[07:15] <Erealz> oh did I also mention no sound?!
[07:15] <tv7497> steven_ : dude its almost like gtalk but here almost everyone can talk
[07:15] <Lapinux> Swift_Fox: trying to help you?
[07:15] <Erealz> my entire system
[07:15] <minusidea> lapinux : I don't have a etc folder :P
[07:15] <minusidea> at least from root
[07:16] <Nalleman> Erealz, The last two days the thought that linux as a whole is a bug have crossed my mind several times. Although, Im not so sure that any other operating systems is significantly less buggy.
[07:16] <steven_> tv7494: I understand that this is a chat relay, but what I don't understand is why it is so much more popular. Is there more to IRC?
[07:16] <suthesan> xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
[07:16] <suthesan>    file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080520141543
[07:16] <Lanlost> minusidea and suthesan type /join #tempchan and hit enter I'll help you there.. I hit enter too much and don't want to flood the channel
[07:16] <Erealz> I have to say 6.10 was the absolutely most stable iv remember ubuntu being...
[07:16] <steven_> A quick question- how can I get a list of functions? Is there a way to send a private message to one person?
[07:17] <Nalleman> steven /msg person
[07:17] <buntunub> Erealz it is unstable for you. It has never been more stable ever for me
[07:17] <tv7497> steven_ : private messages just click the person on right new window pop up if
[07:17] <Erealz> it one thing to be budy but it another , that make it so you can't even run your system for more then a min or 2 before everthis crashes you know...
[07:17] <buntunub> just because your having issues does not mean Hardy is unstable for everyone, or even many people
[07:17] <steven_> I'm using a text-based display. I don't have windows or names listed on the right
[07:18] <Erealz> mayb your hardware is more new then mines
[07:18] <steven_> I can only access through irssi at the moment
[07:18] <Erealz> some time age catches up
[07:18] <tv7497> steven_ : irrsi ???????/
[07:18] <Lapinux> suthesan: you still there?
[07:18] <Erealz> but still no excuses for the lack of performance with newer updates/
[07:18] <mkquist> hmm, no problems w/stability on any of the new ones
[07:19] <Erealz> right now im in gnome failsafe becouse im afraid the my system will crash
[07:19] <buntunub> well.. my server is almost 10 years old running hardy has no problems whatever
[07:19] <steven_> irssi is a text-based IRC client for Linux. I am accessing my Ubuntu computer through SSH with Putty and running the irssi function
[07:19] <ompaul> !bootoptions | Erealz please check this page out and have a look at noapic and noapci
[07:20] <Erealz> I love ubuntu more so then iv ever been with anyother distro but this is a serious problem here
[07:20] <ompaul> Erealz, did you look at that web page?
[07:20] <Erealz> on it right now....
[07:21] <steven_> How does one send a private message with irssi?
[07:21] <suthesan> Lapinux:  i cant use pvt message..its ask me to register
[07:21] <steven_> I tried /msg and I don't think it worked, and I don't have windows or names to click. It is text-based
[07:21] <ompaul> !register | steven_ suthesan
[07:21] <Sladjannn> I created new user and I have deleted old and now I can open, or delete home folder where are my documents(pictures,music,video) because I dont have permisions.... PLease tell me waht to do?
[07:21] <Lapinux> suthesan: ok, can you open your config file and paste it to pastebin?
[07:21] <Sladjannn> I created new user and I have deleted old and now I can open, or delete home folder where are my documents(pictures,music,video) because I dont have permisions.... PLease tell me waht to do?
[07:21] <Lapinux> !pastebin
[07:22] <tv7497> ompaul : dude what is irssi
[07:22] <suthesan> Lapinux:  i cant get u..which file i hv to open?
[07:22] <MasseR> tv7497: A text based irc-client
[07:22] <Erealz> im thinking of switching to opensuse or fedora becouse hardy is so bugy
[07:23] <Erealz> well more so then b4
[07:23] <MasseR> Erealz: What's wrong with hardy?
[07:23] <light50> tv7497: http://www.irssi.org/about
[07:23] <Lapinux> suthesan: goto places->computer and browse to /etc/X11 and find xorg.conf
[07:23] <tv7497> masser : then isnt pidgin same like irssi
[07:23] <MasseR> tv7497: No. Irssi is console based whilst pidgin is gui
[07:23] <ompaul> Erealz, you have been given an option and you seem to have ignored it - suggesting you are going elsewhere is offtopic please implement the suggestion I made
[07:23] <tv7497> masser : got it dude
[07:24] <Erealz> im looking into it
[07:24] <Sue82> anyone any experience with thcvlogger or similar ones=

[07:27] <tv7497> masser : is it good dude compared to pidgin
[07:27] <dpowerd> tv7497, pidgin isnt really a proper irc client
[07:27] <MasseR> tv7497: Depends. I myself would not even consider using pidgin as an irc--client
[07:27] <modpr0be> yup, and i'm using hardy

[07:31] <Lain_of_the_Wire> I've been trying to follow the intstructions for registering to the letter, but the intructions keep using the terms nickname and password interchangably
[07:31] <buntunub> !pastebin
[07:31] <y_> dpowerd.
[07:31] <tv7497> ! nickserv
[07:32] <Lain_of_the_Wire> And despite sending a message to nickserv with the register command (and it won't let me register again with a different password) I cannot message people
[07:32] <y_> i read the forum, but still can't get it
[07:32] <tv7497> !register
[07:32] <suthesan> Lapinux:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/13426/
[07:32] <ompaul> Lain_of_the_Wire, this is not a problem for #ubuntu you do this /msg nickserv register (your password here)   <<<<< further issues you should take to #freenode ;-)
[07:32] <tv7497> !refister | lain_of_the_wire : dude read this
[07:32] <Lain_of_the_Wire> I went to that website about registering
[07:33] <tv7497> lain_of_the_wire : then whats your problem
[07:33] <Lapinux> suthesan: ok, one sec
[07:33] <suthesan> Lapinux:  ok..thanks bro
[07:33] <yuuki> Hi guys.  Is it possible to run the Windows that you have installed in a separate partition in a virtual machine instead?
[07:33] <Lain_of_the_Wire> I was going step by step. First I chose a name (I wanted Lain_of_the_Wired, but it was too long and cut off the d)
[07:34] <Sue82> could anybody help me with a keylogger software (or ev. hardware)??
[07:34] <Lain_of_the_Wire> Second, I typed /msg nickserv register Lain_of_the_Wired
[07:34] <tv7497> yuuki : yes dude
[07:34] <bazhang> Sue82, not here
[07:34] <suthesan> Lapinux:  i using Acer aspire 4520 laptop.. my card is Nvidia Geforce 7000M
[07:34] <yuuki> tv7497, really?  I thought maybe I would have to reinstall XP in the vm
[07:34] <Lain_of_the_Wire> Then I typed /msg nickserv set hide email on
[07:34] <Lain_of_the_Wire> And /msg nickserv set email <email>
[07:34] <ashish> hello everybody !!
[07:34] <tv7497> yuuki : well i didnt get ur point sir
[07:34] <ashish> i am new to ubuntu and linux
[07:35] <Lain_of_the_Wire> Steps four and onward are about alternate nicks, which seem useless if I can't get a primary nick functioning
[07:35] <ashish> will the package form ubuntu gusty compile on ubuntu
[07:35] <yuuki> tv7497, I'm talking about running the XP that I have in my other partition inside a virtual machine instead, without re-installing XP in my VM
[07:35] <ashish> i mean what is this gusty
[07:36] <tv7497> yuuki : no sir i dint think you can
[07:36] <bazhang> !ubuntu | ashish
[07:36] <yuuki> tv7497, thanks :)
[07:36] <bazhang> yuuki, you should ask in #vbox
[07:36] <Flannel> ashish: Gutsy is Ubuntu 7.10, the previous version of Ubuntu
[07:37] <ashish> ok !!
[07:37] <tv7497> bazhang : sir lain_of_the_wire is stuck with some probs in registering your help would be g8 sir :-)
[07:37] <os2mac> what is the gnome equivalent of kdesu?
[07:37] <Flannel> os2mac: gksu
[07:37] <bazhang> tv7497, that would best be handled in #freenode
[07:37] <os2mac> Mahalo
[07:37] <tv7497> yuuki: sir may i know why are you looking for a vm
[07:37] <ashish> Flannel: i want to install qt4.4 " https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/qt4-x11/4.4.0-1ubuntu1~gutsy1"  will this work'
[07:38] <Lain_of_the_Wire> How do I access #freenode?
[07:38] <Lain_of_the_Wire> I am VERY new to IRC. I don't know if that was well communicated
[07:38] <bazhang> Lain_of_the_Wire, /j #freenode
[07:38] <Flannel> ashish: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[07:38] <Lain_of_the_Wire> bazhang, thank you

[07:40] <tv7497> flannel : sir is irssi better than pidgin
[07:41] <Bodsda> !better | tv7497
[07:41] <modpr0be> tv7497: last time, i used evolution but gpg wasn't working properly :(
[07:41] <modpr0be> that's why i use thunderbird
[07:41] <modpr0be> i know evolution is more powerful than thunderbird ;)
[07:41] <ashish> ok Flannel :) , but can you give me an overview  , i think i will be able to acess that comp some 4 hours from now
[07:43] <tv7497> modprobe : gpg ?/ i dont know what it is sir relatively new to evolution
[07:44] <Flannel> ashish: assuming its connected to the internet, just install the libqt4-gui package and you'll have qt4, this will work on any version of Ubuntu
[07:44] <Bodsda> !gpg | tv7497
[07:44] <tv7497> bodsda : dude is it like this /ms' bestbot irssis

[07:48] <devasura> even though I unmount my smb directory using "sudo smbumount directory". The directory shows up  when I type "mount". But it does'nt appear in /proc/mounts
[07:48] <bazhang> juice ask in #ubuntu-bots
[07:50] <shadowimmage> Does anyone know about issues with kernels?
[07:50] <dopievoli> mmmm slow day
[07:50] <shadowimmage> no?
[07:50] <bazhang> just wait
[07:50] <kwan> hi amenado!
[07:51] <domino14> does anyone here use openvpn?
[07:51] <Bodsda> always is this time of day
[07:51] <domino14> i just cant get this to work, im using the same exact config file as on my windows computer
[07:51] <domino14> i get a tap0 interface and another ip assigned, but i cant ping any ips on the remote network, i dont know what to do
[07:52] <shadowimmage> Hey, how do you modify the GRUB menu?
[07:53] <Bodsda> /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:53] <shadowimmage> thanks
[07:53] <Bodsda> your welcome ;~)
[07:54] <dopievoli> shadowimage: add/remove startup manager
[07:54] <CaptainMorgan> shadowimmage, be sure you back up that copy first :)
[07:54] <ramontayag> i cna't seem to find this in google: how do you remove a script from /etc/init.d properly?  in gentoo it's something like "rc-update del"
[07:54] <shadowimmage> still, anyone know about why I have 3 kernel versions on the boot list, and why Kernel 2.6.24 is really messed up and 2.6.22 is fine on my system?
[07:55] <Flannel> !bum | ramontayag
[07:56] <Bodsda> shadowimmage, i dunno why the kernels are borked but you can comment out the bad ones in menu.lst
[07:56] <Rothun> I am having a little trouble with my weather thing on the system clock in Hardy 64bit. It is only displaying sunrise/sunset.
[07:57] <khin> You need to set it for setting #3
[07:57] <shadowimmage> Bodsda: it doesn't hurt anything having them like that? (each major ubuntu update adds another....
[07:58] <Bodsda> shadowimmage, each kernel update adds another one untill theyre happy then they release another and wipe the previous ones from the list -- as long as you dont use them there not a problem
[07:58] <ramontayag> hmm what happened? hehe :) thanks Flannel
[07:58] <Bodsda> they=ubuntu devs
[07:58] <ramontayag> i'll check out bum
[07:58] <domino14> anyone here use openvpn?
[07:58] <domino14> is this the wrong chatroom
[07:58] <domino14> to ask
[07:58] <guiest> Fontconfig error: line 564: mismatched tag
[07:58] <guiest> Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
[07:58] <guiest> Where is that file
[07:58] <guiest> so I can change the error
[07:58] <Bodsda> domino14, ask the nextquestion (the real one)
[07:58] <guiest> I can't find it
[07:59] <Bodsda> where is what file guiest ?
[07:59] <guiest> Fontconfig
[07:59] <guiest> I keep getting this error message when I start up programs in ubuntu
[07:59] <guiest> Fontconfig error: line 564: mismatched tag
[07:59] <guiest> Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
[08:00] <shadowimmage> Bodsda: alright, thanks... that actually takes care of a lot of problems... just as long as I use this kernel instead of the latest.
[08:00] <montpelie> how can I set a wireless connection as the default one, whenever I fire my lap up, it tries to connect to a network other than mine, so I have to ifconfig wlan0 down/up, and select the correct one
[08:00] <Bodsda> guiest, if you cant find a file im not sure its a good idea if you start editing them
[08:00] <montpelie> anyway I can get this fixed??
[08:00] <Bodsda> shadowimmage, glad to help ;~)
[08:00] <kwan> I need help installing a wireless network driver.  The Hardy liveCD ("try Ubuntu w/o installation") had no problem detecting, loading and configuring my wireless card but the thing is I didn't install my copy of Ubuntu with the installer, rather, I installed it manually.  I did wrote down the driver name that the liveCD loaded for me, its name is: zd1211rw
[08:01] <montpelie> wisacom usb antenna right , kwan??
[08:01] <wolfwalker> I found a solution, but apparently I'm to dumb to use it.
[08:01] <Bodsda> Wolf23, care to explain?
[08:01] <wolfwalker> I tried to install Ubuntu on flash drive.  When booted, Grub said error 17.
[08:02] <wolfwalker> Found out you had to go in and edit menu.lst
[08:02] <Bodsda> Wolf23, sorry wrong nick
[08:02] <wolfwalker> So I booted from the CD and edited the menu.lst in the flash drive.
[08:02] <Bodsda> wolfwalker, you installed on usb or put live cdversion on usb?
[08:02] <wolfwalker> Or tried to....... when I tried to save changes, it said I didn't have permission to.
[08:02] <wolfwalker> Installed on usb
[08:03] <Bodsda> wolfwalker, you have to open with sudo       gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:03] <wolfwalker> Can I do that a GUI way?
[08:03] <xim> whats a good package for an ssh/scp server
[08:03] <xim> theres too many to choose from
[08:03] <kwan> montpelie:  the maker is TP-LINK, and it is a usb :>  I think if you could show me how to install the zd1211rw driver, i think it'll work cuz when i was running off liveCD that was the wireless driver it used
[08:03] <Bodsda> wolfwalker, just copy and paste that line into a terminal it will bring up a gui text editor
[08:04] <wolfwalker> With the spaces between sudo and gksudo?
[08:04] <xyz1234567897644> wolfwalker: you can use sudo nautilus
[08:04] <kwan> montpelie, i almost forgot, thx so much for your attention to my question =D
[08:04] <montpelie> no problem
[08:04] <Bodsda> wolfwalker, start at 'gksudo
[08:04] <wolfwalker> Ah
[08:05] <domino14> bodsda: i dont know what to do after the openvpn connects on linux
[08:05] <xyz1234567897644> wolfwalker: that command would open nautilus in super-user mode
[08:05] <domino14> on windows i can just go to a computer \\fserv or something
[08:05] <domino14> on linux i try ping fserv and it doesnt work, it works on windows
[08:05] <montpelie> ok kwan, is seems that you can find the source by doing aptitude search zb1211
[08:05] <YazzY> hi guys
[08:05] <kwan> montpelie:  man... i've been up since i dunno when...  I finally successfully installed ubuntu on raid set, felt great.  If you could help me get the wireless usb working.  I think i could go to bed :>
[08:05] <Bodsda> domino14, you'll have to address the channel i dont no anything about openvpn im afraid
[08:05] <Bodsda> !hi | YazzY
[08:05] <domino14> someone out there must use openvpn :) anyone?
[08:06] <wolfwalker> It worked, sort of.  Couldn't find the specified file, but it let me browse to it after gedit opened.
[08:06] <domino14> i went to the openvpn channel and its dea
[08:06] <domino14> dead
[08:06] <wolfwalker> Here's hoping
[08:06] <wolfwalker> However it works, thanks Bodsda
[08:06] <Bodsda> domino14, try #openvpn
[08:06] <Bodsda> wolfwalker, your welcome ;~)
[08:06] <YazzY> any idea why linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-xen does not include following: ltmodem  ltserial  nvidia  nvidia_legacy  nvidia_new ?
[08:07] <YazzY> Bodsda: howdy
[08:07] <domino14> ithat's where i went
[08:07] <Rothun> Is anyone familiar with the weather applet on the system clock in Hardy?
[08:07] <YazzY> ubottu: hi there
[08:07] <guiest> how do I change the default font
[08:07] <Bodsda> YazzY, ubottu is a bot
[08:07] <montpelie> kwan, http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
[08:07] <guiest> the font I see when I login
[08:07] <YazzY> Bodsda: so i thought :)
[08:07] <guiest> at the login screen
[08:07] <Bodsda> ;~)
[08:07] <montpelie> download this package
[08:07] <domino14> ubottu: openvpn
[08:08] <montpelie> you need the headers installed on your system already
[08:08] <domino14> ubottu: domino14 is the ruler of the universe
[08:08] <Bodsda> !boatabuse
[08:08] <domino14> ubottu: domino14
[08:08] <Bodsda> !botabuse
[08:08] <YazzY> this website says nvidia drivers are included but they are not http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/misc/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-xen
[08:08] <YazzY> and the nvidia driver is not listed in the list of files either
[08:08] <YazzY> so something is incorrect there
[08:09] <domino14> hahaha boatabuse
[08:09] <Bodsda> domino14, please this is a support channel, although it is not busy now please do not post pointless things, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit-chat
[08:10] <wolfwalker> Well it worked, but it didn't work
[08:10] <Bodsda> wolfwalker, ok how so?
[08:10] <wolfwalker> I was able to edit menu.lst, but the edit didn't work
[08:10] <db92> can anyone tell me how to disable alsa to install oss? (need to cos my sound card is xfi)
[08:10] <Bodsda> wolfwalker, remind me what your attempting to achieve?
[08:11] <wolfwalker> Have Ubuntu installed on a flash drive.  Standard install, just chose the flash drive at the disk select step.
[08:11] <Bodsda> oh yeah
[08:11] <wolfwalker> Have Grub installed on the flash drive's MBR, and BIOS set to boot from USB flash before hard drive.
[08:11] <Bodsda> wolfwalker, why didnt it work? error 17 still?
[08:12] <wolfwalker> Grub keeps giving error 17, yes.

[08:12] <Bodsda> wolfwalker, no
[08:12] <Bodsda> dont do that
[08:12] <wolfwalker> No, not a live cd install.  Just a straight install.
[08:12] <bazhang> tv7497, close your other chat client
[08:13] <wolfwalker> I done did.
[08:13] <wolfwalker> It didn't work
[08:13] <tv7497> bazhang : didnt work sir i closed my pidgin
[08:13] <Bodsda> wolfwalker, ok thats fine,.,. can you pastebin the output of          "sudo fdisk -l"             please (no quotes)
[08:13] <bazhang> tv7497, never used irssi; best to ask the channel
[08:13] <Bodsda> tv7497, what error did it give?
[08:13] <wolfwalker> It's down right now, I rebooted and tried to boot from flash drive again.
[08:14] <montpelie> kwan??????, still there?

[08:16] <kwan> montpelie:  the linux headers?  I'm still fairly new to this.  I thought could pickup that zd1211rw driver off the livecd somehow.  Not that easy eh?  so do aptitude search zd1211 in conjunction with downloading the package rigth?
[08:16] <wolfwalker> While it is booting........... if the objective is to see what this computer sees the flash drive as, wouldn't that change when I try to boot with the flash drive on another computer?

[08:34] <gooody> montpelie: i don't know how to patch files
[08:34] <ruiboon> !make | gooody
[08:35] <matrix> pls helpme
[08:35] <matrix> :(
[08:35] <montpelie> sudo make install after that gooody
[08:35] <montpelie> patch file < file.diff
[08:35] <gooody> ruiboon: i have visited the site but encountered problems during configure
[08:35] <semanticpc> heh can you suggest some light weight distros with x-windows support for 256mb ram
[08:35] <montpelie> that's the easiest way you can get a file patched
[08:36] <ruiboon> gooody: can you paste the terminal output into pastebin?
[08:36] <mussolini> is it possible to http install linux?
[08:36] <montpelie> during configure, it didnt find all dependencies then
[08:36] <mussolini> someone told me this was possible
[08:36] <kwan> I don't think i have the linux headers because there is not "build" directory under /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-386
[08:36] <r00tintheb0x> Yes mussolini it is.
[08:36] <daddyo23> well im having trouble finding it. try searching or playing around with the settings in admin and pref
[08:37] <gooody> ruiboon: how can i access pastebin? i'm sorry, i'm new to this.
[08:37] <mussolini> r00tintheb0x>   ; u know where i could get readin material on how to do it
[08:37] <Rothun> !paste
[08:37] <r00tintheb0x> sure thing mussolini, one second.
[08:37] <kwan> montpelie, I don't think i have the linux headers because there is not "build" directory under /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-386
[08:37] <montpelie> sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.24-16-386   ----- kwan
[08:38] <r00tintheb0x> mussolini, may I ask why you're wanting to install this way?
[08:38] <r00tintheb0x> Ubuntu already installs from the internet.
[08:38] <montpelie> gooody, you can also dowload pastebinit from the console
[08:38] <bazhang> mussolini, sure minimal install for fresh hdd, and unetbootin from another distro/windows
[08:39] <montpelie> and then cat file | pastebinit
[08:39] <ljsoftnet> daddyo23 ok
[08:39] <kwan> montpelie: the problem is i don't have internet tho
 ;     i am forced to use vmware right now because i am having cdrom issues
[08:39] <gooody> ruiboon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13433/
[08:39] <r00tintheb0x> Okay.
[08:39] <r00tintheb0x> So your physical CDROM is acting up mussolini ?
[08:40] <montpelie> wow, how are u connected then, spare pc kwan??
[08:40] <alzamabar_> Hi, I made a mistake and I changed the security on my /etc/sudoers to 0775 instead of 0440.  Is there anyone who could help on this?
 ;     i am not able to sucessfully install from cdrom  ive tried multiple  .isos   checkin md5     always gets corrupt
[08:40] <r00tintheb0x> Okay mussolini one second.
[08:40] <kwan> montpelie: i'm on my laptop.
 ;     thank you.
[08:40] <montpelie> you may wanna tick the cdrom as a repository
[08:41] <montpelie> at the software sources window
[08:41] <ruiboon> gooody: it seems that you have to do some patching. Could you refer to patches/README ?
[08:41] <gooody> ruiboon: yes
[08:41] <r00tintheb0x> mussolini, this is probably going to be your best bet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot?highlight=(netboot)
[08:41] <r00tintheb0x> Wait.
[08:42] <r00tintheb0x> Yeah, thats it.
[08:42] <mussolini> thanks
[08:42] <r00tintheb0x> Sure thing.
[08:42] <montpelie> goooody,       "patch fileinquestion < file(thepatchitself).diff
[08:42] <db92> looking for someone to help meuse oss instead of alsa
[08:42] <r00tintheb0x> db92, why would you want to do that may I ask?
[08:43] <kwan> montpelie:  i really thought i would involve locating the zb1211rw driver and putting it in the /etc/modules.  But i guess compat-wireless is some crazy linux wireless subsystem. anyways let me install the headers =D
[08:43] <ruiboon> alzamabar_: one possible way would to boot up using a live cd. mount your current ubuntu, then chmod from there.
[08:43] <ruiboon> alzamabar_: not sure if there is an easier way though
[08:43] <db92> r00tintheb0x: i got creative x-fi card
[08:43] <db92> doesnt work with alsa, its even on their wiki
[08:43] <db92> or whatever it is :p
[08:43] <r00tintheb0x> db92, give me the exact model number of your card.
[08:43] <ruiboon> gooody: does it mention anything about patching the source?
[08:44] <db92> r00tintheb0x: you mean the ids from lspci ?
[08:44] <montpelie> right, but in order to get that done KWAN, the kernel headers must be installed first
[08:44] <gooody> ruiboon: actually there is a patching folder that contains the .patch files and a .sh file but don't have any instruction on how to patch.
[08:44] <montpelie> goooody
[08:44] <r00tintheb0x> db92, like the model number off the box.
[08:45] <r00tintheb0x> lspci would probably give it to you
[08:45] <db92> hard to know where the box is :P
[08:45] <montpelie> what is the file you'd like to patch
[08:45] <alzamabar_> ruiboon, how would I do that?
[08:45] <alzamabar_> ruiboon, I mean, mount my current ubuntu?
[08:46] <db92> r00tintheb0x: the id given is 1102:0005
[08:46] <db92> other than that, cant find much more :p
[08:46] <maplye> can u read this
[08:46] <montpelie> the patches were generated using the diff command, you may wanna try by looking at the patches; they will let you know the lines that will be appended and the lines to be removed
[08:46] <maplye> 1
[08:46] <ruiboon> alzamabar_: after booting the live cd, $sudo mount /dev/sdXx /mnt/ubuntu
[08:46] <r00tintheb0x> db92, that isnt waht I need.
[08:47] <gooody> montpelie: xmms-1.2.10-is_quitting.patch
[08:47] <montpelie> hence you can modify the file manually
[08:47] <r00tintheb0x> Is it a Creative SB-15005
[08:47] <r00tintheb0x> ?
[08:47] <r00tintheb0x> I need a model number like that.
[08:47] <ruiboon> alzamabar_: where /dev/sdXx is the partition where ubuntu is installed.
[08:47] <db92> no idea, cant find anything like that from lspci and i got no idea where the box is :P
[08:47] <ruiboon> alzamabar_: refer to /etc/fstab for the exact partition
[08:47] <montpelie> ok, open that file up, and use pastebin so I can see it goood
[08:47] <montpelie> gooogy
[08:47] <r00tintheb0x> db92, is it a SAA7134?
[08:48] <r00tintheb0x> You dont know where a machine you're trying to play sound on is db92 ?
[08:48] <alzamabar_> ruiboon, would that be: /dev/sda1?
[08:48] <db92> hm, confusion
[08:48] <r00tintheb0x> db92, mine reads...
[08:48] <r00tintheb0x> 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
[08:48] <db92> seems we didnt understand each other from the beginning
[08:48] <r00tintheb0x> When i "sudo lspci"
[08:48] <ruiboon> alzamabar_: it differs from configuration to configuration. If there is only ubuntu, then most likely, yes
[08:49] <alzamabar_> ruiboon, thanks. I'll try
[08:49] <gooody> montpelie:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/13436/
[08:49] <r00tintheb0x> Okay, you're trying to use OSS instead of ALSA because supposedly it doens't work with ALSA?
[08:49] <maplye> 11
[08:49] <db92> hardly supposedly, i know it doesnt work with alsa
[08:49] <db92> its all over the interwebs that it doesnt
[08:49] <DistroJockey> !ask | maplye
[08:49] <db92> the main issue is how to disable alsa and install oss :P
[08:49] <db92> and all i get from lspci is 05:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB X-Fi
[08:49] <r00tintheb0x> Okay thats fine, db92 paste me the results of "sudo lspci |grep -i sound" to the pastebin please.
[08:49] <montpelie> kk, gooody.......so the file to be patched is input.c
[08:49] <r00tintheb0x> ok ty
[08:50] <db92> what you just told me to do gave me no results :p
[08:50] <montpelie> and the patch is the one you put on pastebin
[08:50] <maplye> distrojockey : dude i cant use my registerd nick name when i acess from irssi
[08:51] <DistroJockey> maplye ahh, bummer. Sorry to hear that
[08:51] <montpelie> so what you have to do, is go into xmms-1.2.10.orig/xmms/
[08:51] <r00tintheb0x> I meant "sudo lspci |grep -i audio"
[08:51] <r00tintheb0x> My bad.
[08:51] <gooody> montpelie: i'm not familiar with it sir. yes that's 1 of the 2 patch that is needed.
[08:51] <montpelie> no problem goooody, I get it
[08:51] <kwan> montpelie, if you are talking about the checkbox for "CDrom with Ubuntu 8.04 'Hardyt Heron'" then its already checked.  Its still trying to connect to archive.ubuntu when I apt-get install tho.
[08:52] <r00tintheb0x> db92, hold up... im checkin it out
[08:52] <db92> r00tintheb0x: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13437/
[08:52] <montpelie> deselect the other repositories kwan
[08:53] <montpelie> ok goooody send me the original input.c file
[08:53] <montpelie> via pastebin
[08:53] <r00tintheb0x> ok db92 hold.
[08:53] <Mantan> I'm trying to install Ubuntu but the built in partitioner won't detect the HD. I used an old win98 floppy to wipe the old partition (which would boot before I wiped it), I also made a new one (which is empty). I had tried installing before wiping the old partition as well and encountered the same problem. If it makes any difference the old partition was Kubuntu 7.04
[08:53] <gooody> montpelie: what do you mean about that original input sir?
[08:54] <julle_> is there a way to disable the creation of thumbnails in .thumbnails folder?
[08:54] <bullgard4> What might be the reason that rsnapshot last night took more than an hour while at all other days it took 10 mins maximum.
[08:54] <r00tintheb0x> db92, you using Hardy?
[08:54] <gooody> montpelie: i don't see any file containing that filename.
[08:55] <montpelie> kwan, you may want to try downloading the tarball into a USB, and plug it into the other computer, then follow the instructions provided on the page I sent you
[08:55] <db92> r00tintheb0x: yup
[08:55] <mevsthevoices> By default, does vlc stream on udp or tcp?
[08:56] <r00tintheb0x> db92, is your sound card a PCI-E?
[08:56] <mevsthevoices> When using http as a stream
[08:56] <db92> r00tintheb0x: yup, last time i checked
[08:56] <r00tintheb0x> Ok
[08:56] <montpelie> gooody try by doing this "sudo updatedb | locate input.c"
[08:56] <r00tintheb0x> Dont be a smart (_|_)
[08:57] <montpelie> so we know where the file to be patched is located at
[08:57] <db92> rofl
[08:57] <r00tintheb0x> :P
[08:57] <r00tintheb0x> db92, from what im reading it doesn't seem to want to work with OSS also.
[08:58] <db92> idno, every guide ive found seems to say it works with oss
[08:58] <kwan> montpelie yea. i do have a jump drive handy but right now i'm still having problems with the "Software Sources"  its still trying to connec to security.ubuntu.com.  I'm under the Ubuntu Software tabs right now, and the only checkbox checked is "Cdrom with UBunutu 8.04 'Hardy Heron'"
[08:58] <r00tintheb0x> db92, could you link me?
[08:58] <db92> still worth trying, if it works ill at least finally get rid of the annoying pc speaker sound :p
[08:58] <jatt> why this with rm -rf tmp?
[08:58] <jatt> rm: cannot remove directory `tmp/jdk1.5.0_10/bin': File exists
[08:59] <montpelie> ok, kwan, you need to click on reload, so the system knows which repositories are to be used
[08:59] <r00tintheb0x> True db92... im not finding out much info on installing OSS either.
[08:59] <montpelie> it'd be much easier if you can get an ethernet cable though
[08:59] <r00tintheb0x> You may have to compile it from source.
[08:59] <db92> r00tintheb0x: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571656 afaik
[08:59] <gooody> montpelie: it returns a different file
[08:59]  * r00tintheb0x looks
[08:59] <db92> although it is somewhat outdated :p
[09:00] <kwan> montpelie you know what?  i'm just gonna go comment out everything in sources.list myself
[09:00] <kwan> that should do it
[09:00] <r00tintheb0x> db92, have you followed the guide to install OSS yet?
[09:00] <montpelie> kk kwan
[09:00] <montpelie> for sure
[09:00] <gooody> montpelie: /usr/share/doc/libgtk1.2-dev/examples/testinput.c.gz
[09:00] <db92> did, but there was always something running from alsa
[09:00] <montpelie> which file, gooody;  the patch you sent me seems to be a patch for xmms
[09:00] <db92> something called saa7134_alsa and snd_pcm that prevented it from working
[09:01] <r00tintheb0x> db92, join the channel #r00tintheb0x
[09:01] <montpelie> at the very top of it, the filename's been specified, therefore you should have the source of the xmms package, right???
[09:01] <gooody> montpelie: yup, it's for xmms but it seems like my installed xmms is of different version than the plugin that i want to install
[09:02] <r00tintheb0x> Blah, nevermind.
[09:02] <r00tintheb0x> Good luck, you move too slow.;
[09:02] <r00tintheb0x> You obviously have it handled.
[09:02] <db92> o0
[09:03] <r00tintheb0x> Did you do step 3 here db92 ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4874981&postcount=2
[09:03] <montpelie> ok, gooody and where did you get that patch from,  you should be able to get the 1.2.10 version of XMMS from the same place
[09:03] <db92> ive done everything as it says
[09:03] <daddyo23> can anyone help me?
[09:03] <db92> but obviously something was still running :p
[09:03] <mevsthevoices> Depends
[09:03] <Mantan> I'm trying to install Ubuntu but the built in partitioner won't detect the HD. I used an old win98 floppy to wipe the old partition (which would boot before I wiped it), I also made a new one (which is empty). I had tried installing before wiping the old partition as well and encountered the same problem. Gparted won't detect the drive either.
[09:04] <daddyo23> i deleted my eth0 connection some how. how can i restore it to the live cd state-- thats when it worked
[09:04] <gooody> montpelie: ok thanks for the help. i'll try to search for that xmms version.
[09:04] <daddyo23> anyone got time to help?
[09:05] <montpelie> ok, gooody, you may wanna take a look at http://www.xmms.org/plugins.php
[09:05] <kwan> montpelie, are you sure the linux header is on the liveCD??
[09:05] <montpelie> first
[09:06] <r00tintheb0x> db92, im SURE I could do it man.
[09:06] <r00tintheb0x> You need to make sure GDM is stopped... then kill all the alsa procs.
[09:06]  * r00tintheb0x shrugs
[09:06] <gooody> montpelie: thank's for the link.
[09:06] <db92> the second step
[09:06] <db92> tells you to remove alsa
[09:07] <r00tintheb0x> Okay, when you paste the command... what's it tell you?
[09:07] <db92> what im saying is that alsa isnt getting fully removed and some procs are still running :P
[09:07] <r00tintheb0x> PASTE it to me.
[09:07] <r00tintheb0x> http://pastebin.ca
[09:08] <mkquist> daddyo23: how'd u 'delete' it?
[09:08] <montpelie> no problem gooody, I think it'd be much easier by uninstalling the version you have, downloading the XMMS source from that page which is actually the newest version, and possibly there will be no need for you to patch after that
[09:08] <r00tintheb0x> db92, if you want to continue this... /join #r00tintheb0x
[09:08] <r00tintheb0x> I have BAD ADD and i cant concentrate over this "Cross talk"
[09:10] <mkquist> db92: alsa problems?  (just coming in, or looking)
[09:10] <Dark_Fire> Hey
[09:11] <db92> mkquist: x-fi problems
[09:11] <db92> therefore, alsa :P
[09:11] <_julian_> hi all
[09:11] <Dark_Fire> I downloaded Ubuntu yesterday and wrote it to a CD-RW. It shows the boot screen and everything, but when I say boot or install or check disk, it says "error reading boot disk"
[09:12] <mkquist> db92: well you could look here if you havent, it usually 'fixes' my sound problems.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449  not sure on x-fi tho...
[09:12] <Dark_Fire> Is this because its a CD-RW? Or could my download be corrupy?
[09:12] <_julian_> is it somehow possible to remove installed libxine and replace it with a custom built one without removing all programs depending on libxine and recompile them too?
[09:12] <GibbaTheHutt> Dark-Fx, did you finalise the disk ?
[09:12] <gooody> montpelie: ok. thanks for the information.
[09:12] <Dark_Fire> GibbaTheHutt, Its a Re-writable CD.
[09:13] <GibbaTheHutt> yeah just ive known some people have problems using cd's not finalised to boot from
[09:13] <GibbaTheHutt> which get stuck round about where yours sounds to have
[09:13] <GibbaTheHutt> try a normal cd and finalise it ?
[09:13] <void^> _julian_: use checkinstall to create a deb.
[09:13] <montpelie> kwan, it's in the cd, just found it
[09:14] <db92> mkquist: no need, its a guide full of alsa details
[09:14] <Friendster> Hi, is there a way to download userful from ubuntu 7.04 64bit, <-- the desktop multiplier?
[09:14] <db92> mkquist: on the alsa site its said that my card is simply incompatible
[09:14] <julle_> what is the correct chmod option to make an index.html accessable on a apache server ?
[09:14] <Dark_Fire> Sure, ill try, Just dont wanne waist up my CD's :P
[09:14] <_julian_> void^: can you point me to some documentation/howto?
[09:14] <DistroJockey> Dark_Fire, check the md5sum of the iso you downloaded and compare it
[09:14] <Friendster>  where can i download desktop multiplier and how? ty
[09:14] <Baron1984> I've perfected a random number generator for Debianm here goes
[09:15] <Baron1984> 9...9....9....9.....9....9....9
[09:15] <montpelie> julle_ 750 I guess
[09:15] <Yarcanox> I just tried to install ubuntu using the alternate install disc (8.04)
[09:15] <fongkwan_> nick kwan
[09:15] <Yarcanox> which worked fine until it discovered some trashed files on the CD while writing the basic installation of the system on the hard disk
[09:15] <Yarcanox> how can I tell this stupid installer to download those files from the web??
[09:15] <void^> _julian_: it's pretty simple, just checkinstall make install, instead of make install. i'm sure there's a lot of documentation out there, for details.
[09:15] <Friendster> has any1 of u already tried to install desktop multiplier in ubuntu 7.04 64bit? :)
[09:16] <_julian_> void^: cool, thank you (c:
[09:16] <Yarcanox> the network is established (just normal DSL ethernet router) and if that thing just downloaded the trashed files, everything would be fine
[09:16] <Yarcanox> so why doesn't it just do that?
[09:16] <KazaLite> i did something bad...now tell me how to recover....i did echo "hello" > /etc/fstab
[09:16] <kwan> montpelie, the only entry in my sources.list is: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080423)]/ hardy main restricted
[09:17] <Yarcanox> or what do I need to do so it finally does this?
[09:17] <KazaLite> and lost everything in /etc/fstab....now how can i recover?
[09:17] <r00tintheb0x> lol
[09:17] <r00tintheb0x> KazaLite, "ls -al /etc/fstab*"
[09:17] <montpelie> kazalite, livecd might be useful
[09:17] <r00tintheb0x> See if there's a backup
[09:18] <kwan> montpelie,  yet i can't seem to find the "linux-headers-2.6.24-16-386" package
[09:18] <koshari> kazalite you will sutn need another fstab file, boot of a live disc and copy one from a live session to a mamory stick, then copy it back to the destinatin
[09:18] <aurax> hello, is there a way to override license acceptance when install with apt-get (force yes on all questions)
[09:18] <chmac> Is there a way to show additional partitions in the gnome file dialogs? Are they bookmarks maybe?
[09:18] <montpelie> uhhmm, kwan, try by doing apt-get update first
[09:19] <chmac> So when I click open / save / etc, alongside Home, Desktop, File System, I would also like Data (/data)
[09:19] <montpelie> then uname -r
[09:19] <Yarcanox> does someone know where to get the netinstall disk then? *sigh*
[09:19] <kwan> i did it like 30 times
[09:19] <montpelie> it should come up with the kernel version you are currently using
[09:19] <KazaLite> :'(.......no backup file.......
[09:19] <hwdyki> should i use nvidia-glx-envy or nvidia-glx?
[09:19] <Yarcanox> so I don't have to download all the 600 mb again just because of 20 small files!
[09:19] <montpelie> apt-cache linux-headers ??????????,
[09:20] <Yarcanox> is there really no way to tell the default installer to download files from the net in case they can't be read from the disk?
[09:20] <montpelie> apt-cache search linux-headers
[09:20] <koshari> kaza lite you wont need a backup file just use the live disc which will generate one dynamicly
[09:20] <hwdyki> or nvidia-glx-new-envy?
[09:20] <Mantan> Yarcanox I'm pretty sure you're SOL
[09:20] <Yarcanox> what's that o.O
[09:20] <KazaLite> but if i shutdown my system and get file from live cd...then on re-boot, nothing would be auto-mounted...right? i just mount my usb flash drive and then mount "/" by myself and then copt fstab file.
[09:20] <KazaLite> right?
[09:20] <Yarcanox> never heard that abbreviation :)
[09:21] <Mantan> Yarcanox: SOL=s**t out of luck
[09:21] <koshari> kazalite mount your hard drive in the live session and copy it over before rebooting,
[09:21] <aurax> so does anyone knows how to override console interaction when installing deb packages with apt-get ?
[09:21] <heymr> do i still fxload for hotplugging my tascam US-122 as mentioned on alsa wiki and ubuntu forums?
[09:21] <Yarcanox> Mantan you want to tell me that there is no way to make the default installer download them out of the net? O_O
[09:21] <AMDXP> hi there
[09:21] <SFauconnier> aurax, override?
[09:22] <Yarcanox> there's a netinstall disk that does the same, and the default installer even asks for net mirrors _AFTER_ setting up the default system
[09:22] <koshari> kazalite i find it strange that someone who knows what echo "hello" > /etc/fstab would do would be asking these questions
[09:22] <AMDXP> anyone using virtual box on hardy
[09:22] <Yarcanox> so why can't it just access them before? O_O it even configures the network - for what? for _not_ using it?
[09:22] <openweek_attende> mneptok: It worked
[09:22] <kwan> montpelie, , its got: linux-headers=2.6.24-16, linux-headers-generic, linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic.
[09:22] <douye> amdxp: i am, why ?
[09:22] <Yarcanox> anyone?
[09:22] <bullgard4> What might be the reason that rsnapshot last night took more than an hour while at all other days it took 10 mins maximum?
[09:22] <aurax> SFauconnier yeah override... it ask's for license acceptance, i want to override it
[09:22] <alzamabar> Hi, need help with a security issue. How can I chmod /etc/sudoers after I've change it by mistake?
[09:22] <AMDXP> douye anyway i can change the Ctrl down hotkey
[09:22] <vagothcpp> Hey, any text editors support C++ syntax that are installed with ubuntu  (as in coloring. compile options optional)?
[09:22] <montpelie> kk, kwan, now do uname -r
[09:22] <_julian_> void^: hmm, libxine in ubuntu consists of several splitted packaged how can I just make my one package replace all of them? - I think libxine1 is a metapackage, but somehow I'd need my package to implement that metapackage won't I?
[09:22] <alzamabar> Can I restart as root?
[09:23] <douye> admxp: uhm lemme see
[09:23] <AMDXP> my toshiba doesnt have a right Ctrl button
[09:23] <kwan> 2.6.24-16-386
[09:23] <montpelie> sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic
[09:23] <koshari> alzamabar you can with a live disc
[09:23] <montpelie> that should do it
[09:23] <vagothcpp> Hey, any text editors support C++ syntax that are installed with ubuntu desktop 7.04  (as in coloring. compile options optional)?
[09:23] <DracoZA> AMDXP, interesting question let me check
[09:23] <douye> amdxp: go to preferences > input
[09:23] <vagothcpp> and when is 7.04 supported till?
[09:23] <heymr> AMDXP, xmodmap?
[09:23] <alzamabar> koshari, I've tried. It changed it there, but when I logged in again, the sudoers was still in 0775
[09:23] <Yarcanox> has someone the link to that netinstall disk?
[09:23] <aurax> anyone ?
[09:23] <douye> amdxp: then highlight the "right control" box
[09:24] <Yarcanox> or does this disk not exist anymore?
[09:24] <heymr> AMDXP, run that in a terminal
[09:24] <alzamabar> montpelie, was that for me?
[09:24] <vagothcpp> Anyone know?
[09:24] <heymr> vagothcpp, gedit
[09:24] <douye> amdxp: then press a key you want to use for it, and it will be set
[09:24] <heymr> yesh
[09:24] <Yarcanox> I am really in need of something like this now
[09:24] <montpelie> n
[09:24] <vagothcpp> and when is 7.04 supported till?
[09:24] <montpelie> nope alzamabar
[09:24] <AMDXP> ok let me try it right now
[09:24] <koshari> alzamdar did you mount the filesystem and change it on the disk or change it in the ramdisc?
[09:24] <DistroJockey> alzamabar, boot your install in recovery mode and change it there
[09:24] <kwan> its already installed
[09:24] <DracoZA> AMDXP, File -> Preferences -> Input to change
[09:24] <vagothcpp> and when is 7.04 supported till?
[09:24] <Yarcanox> I can't find the net install disk on ubuntu.com and on google I get just some netboot stuff
[09:25] <Yarcanox> is there a net install disk? if yes, where can I find it?
[09:25] <vagothcpp> and when is 7.04 supported till?
[09:25] <montpelie> kwan, you were finally able to install it right?, just download the tarball and do as I suggested
[09:25] <AMDXP> DracoZA : ty that was it
[09:25] <alzamabar> montpelie I haven't got the live CD for the version I'm running. I'm running 8.04 (SCSI system) but the live disc is for 7.10. So I couldn't mount the disk. I double clicked on it and it appeared under /media/disk
[09:25] <AMDXP> thanks for all the help guys/gals
[09:25] <koshari> yarconix a minimal install disc would be a webinstall disk,
[09:25] <Yarcanox> yes
[09:25] <vagothcpp> and when is 7.04 supported till?
[09:25] <alzamabar> DistroJockey, how do I do that?
[09:25] <heymr> AMDXP, did it work?
[09:26] <Yarcanox> koshari where can I get it??
[09:26] <vagothcpp> and when is ubuntu desktop 7.04 supported till?
[09:26] <spider> ?
[09:26] <Yarcanox> I just want to have it and install the system finally o.O
[09:26] <AMDXP> heymr: yes you can do as he instructed and set any key you like
[09:26] <Yarcanox> without downloading 600 mb again when I just need 200 mb of this crap
[09:26] <DistroJockey> alzamabar, should be an entry on the grub menu for it, you may have to hit Esc to see the menu when you boot
[09:26] <vagothcpp> and when is ubuntu desktop 7.04 supported till?
[09:26] <AMDXP> File>>Preferences>>Input
[09:26] <alzamabar> DistroJockey, thanks. I'll try
[09:27] <heymr> AMDXP, cool. now you should see a change in the output of xmodmap
[09:27] <Yarcanox> koshari I can't find a link on the homepage, so where can I download this minimal install thingy?
[09:27] <vagothcpp> PLEASE, when is ubuntu desktop 7.04 supported till?
[09:27] <kwan> montpelie it was already on the system.  IN the instruction, it specificaly asked for linux-headers-<IP_ADDRESS>-386 but i guess i might have to give see if the generic one already installed on my system would do the job
[09:27] <[LMM]Iowahc> hy there, question to compiz-fusion, before 10 minutes everything worked fine, direct rendering and also the water effect, now i started up and compiz didn't started up, a quick workaround for me was: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace ccp &, any suggestions?
[09:27] <heymr> vagothcpp, GOOGLE
[09:27] <vagothcpp> Google times out!
[09:27] <AMDXP> heymr: now i can delete my XP partition and do a full blown Ubuntu
[09:27] <AMDXP> and run virtual box for any extra stuff i need
[09:27] <heymr> AMDXP, just that? lol
[09:27] <heymr> AMDXP, COOOLLL  :D
[09:28] <AMDXP> i couldnt before because i didnt know how to switch in and out of virtual box
[09:28] <heymr> oh haha
[09:28] <Yarcanox> anyone. where. can I get the minimal installation. I can't find it!
[09:28] <AMDXP> its got sound and everything
[09:28] <heymr> AMDXP, you can do tight integration
[09:28] <ybeddyj> how do i create a devel package i just downloaded farsight2 and i want to create the associated devel package for it
[09:28] <AMDXP> darn this is sweet
[09:28] <montpelie> ok kwan
[09:29] <AMDXP> tight integration?
[09:29] <koshari> yarcanox https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[09:29] <gooody> can't get any apt-file update. it returns "Can't get http://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/Contents-amd64.gz".
[09:29] <Yarcanox> thank you very much koshari
[09:29] <db92> anyone knows of an irc support chan for oss?
[09:29] <Yarcanox> does anyone know why the minimal installation isn't mentioned on the download page? O_o
[09:29] <Yarcanox> very annoying!
[09:29] <vagothcpp> PLEASE, when is ubuntu desktop 7.04 supported till?
[09:30] <montpelie> goooody, got the same problem
[09:30] <montpelie> with it
[09:30] <crdlb> vagothcpp: 18 months after release, so about 5 more
[09:30] <montpelie> apt-file update DOES NOT work
[09:30] <hwdyki> my keyboard is messed up in gnome. how can i fix this?
[09:30] <vagothcpp> ty
[09:30] <Yarcanox> hwdyki probably you got the wrong keyboard layout?
[09:31] <hwdyki> how can i change the layout?
[09:31] <Yarcanox> I think the command was "sudo dpkg-reconfigure Xorg" or something which prompts the X-server configuration that lets you change it. hm
[09:31] <AMDXP> when i get my desktop going i can do a full install now
[09:31] <gooody> montpelie: does apt-file still works without the update?
[09:31] <Yarcanox> no, it wasn't Xorg, was something else :/ what was the command for the Xorg-config-util again? hwdyki needs it
[09:32] <montpelie> nope gooody, it seems to be a bug
[09:32] <koshari> dpkg -reconfirure?
[09:32] <Yarcanox> hwdyki it's at least sudo dpkg-reconfigure <xserverpackage>, but I can't remember the name
[09:32] <Yarcanox> someone here must now
[09:32] <Yarcanox> *know
[09:32] <koshari> xorg-xserver
[09:32] <Yarcanox> ah. so it's "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver" :)
[09:32] <montpelie> if you google for that issue, it'll return some bug-related pages
[09:32] <koshari> its written at the top of the xorg file
[09:33] <Hoenikker> what's up with firefox 3.0rc1 in 8.04?
[09:33] <koshari> in the remarks
[09:33] <hwdyki> xorg-xserver is not installed
[09:33] <gooody> montpelie: how sad. is it only unavailable in hardy?
[09:33] <koshari> hwdyki sudo apt-get install xorg
[09:33] <db92> join #ubuntu-gr
[09:33] <db92> ups
[09:34] <KazaLite> my  /etc/fstab from live cd is totally different than what i had:'(
[09:34] <[LMM]Iowahc> hy there, question to compiz-fusion, before 10 minutes everything worked fine, direct rendering and also the water effect, now i started up and compiz didn't started up, a quick workaround for me was: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace ccp &, any suggestions?
[09:34] <koshari> kazalit use it as a beginning alnd add the extra lines you want from info you get from gparted.
[09:34] <vlt> Hello. What (cli) tool can I use to display info about a CD in a drive? (type, size, tracks ...)
[09:34] <Yarcanox> hm hwdyki you can also manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the keyboard layout
[09:35] <montpelie> yep, gooody, unfortunately
[09:35] <Hoenikker> why is the "check update" option grayed in my firefox beta? is there a way to upgrade to 3.0rc1 with the package manager?
[09:35] <interzone> Hi, I have just installed dapper drake, firefow is really slow. How can i sort this out?
[09:35] <hwdyki> i'm on vnc.
[09:36] <montpelie> some people's been able to get it to work after a looooooot of time
[09:36] <Myrtti> !ff3rc
[09:36] <hwdyki> when i run twm in vnc, the kbd works. but when i run gnome-session, the kbd gets messed up.
[09:36] <KazaLite> whats gparted?
[09:36] <Myrtti> !gparted
[09:36] <Hoenikker> i see :/
[09:36] <hwdyki> any ideas?
[09:36] <Hoenikker> major suckage
[09:36] <interzone> I dont want firefox3 tho
[09:36] <gooody> montpelie: after this bug is fixed are they going to provide it through updates?
[09:37] <h0ax> how would i go about a virtual machine for ubuntu ?
[09:37] <ikonia> h0ax: there are multiple virtualistion options, what do you need,
[09:37] <Stormx2> interzone: Why'd you install dapper? :/
[09:37] <Yarcanox> ok I'm now out to install it... hope it works this time
[09:37] <interzone> I want to know how to make firefox faster, it is alot slower than other versions
[09:37] <h0ax> ikonia: i windows emulator
[09:37] <interzone> Stormx2: cos it was the only boot cd i had about
[09:38] <ikonia> h0ax: ok, you want to run a windows VM within an ubuntu host, yes ?
[09:38] <Stormx2> Oh
[09:38] <Stormx2> heh
[09:38] <Stormx2> Couldn't you have burnt another? :/
[09:38] <montpelie> not sure about that, I guess you'll just be able to do apt-file update without a problem
[09:38] <interzone> Stormx2: no cd's
[09:38] <Stormx2> Well
[09:38] <h0ax>  ikonia: no sorry, i mean i want to run a live cd within linux
[09:38] <montpelie> dont really know gooody
[09:38] <Stormx2> I don't know why firefox is so slow.
[09:38] <amidaniel> ikonia: Doesn't hardy have virtualisation of some kind installed by default?
[09:38] <hwdyki> hello...
[09:38] <ikonia> amidaniel: no
[09:38] <Stormx2> You might want to upgrade to hardy though
[09:39] <_julian_> ahh, I accidently removed all kde4-packages by removing libxine - how can I install them again? - is there some metapackage for kde4?
[09:39] <amidaniel> Oh, thought I read something about that ... *googles*
[09:39] <ikonia> h0ax: ok, so y ou want to run a Linux livecd as an operating system, from within an ubuntu host, yes ?
[09:39] <interzone> Stormx2: i had this problem before but it was rectified by updates
[09:39] <h0ax> ikonia: yes
[09:39] <gooody> ok. thanks for the info and help. it means a lot to beginners like me.
[09:39] <ikonia> amidaniel: there are virtualisation options (such as kvm) built into the ubuntu kernel
[09:39] <psypher246> hi all, pls can someone help me. i cannot find any relavant info on google. i cannot mount ANY usb hard drive device. it just suddenly started happening. when i try to manually mount i get mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist
[09:39] <amidaniel> Ah, maybe that's what I read
[09:39] <mondayrocks> psyp, it doesn't mount automaticly?
[09:40] <psypher246> nope
[09:40] <mondayrocks> did you try restarting?
[09:40] <psypher246> yup
[09:40] <ikonia> h0ax: ok, very straight forward you just need to select a virtualisation technology, configure it and boot it, there are multiple options such as vmware, virtualbox, kvm, xen
[09:40] <psypher246> lots
[09:40] <ikonia> !virtualisation | howtoo
[09:40] <ikonia> oops
[09:40] <interzone> was firefox in dapper drake known for being slow?
[09:40] <ikonia> !virtualisation | h0ax
[09:40] <mohamed_> psypher246, what is " fdisk -l " say ?
[09:40] <h0ax> !virtualbox
[09:40] <howtoo> aha =)
[09:40] <ikonia> h0ax: I suggest you start with something with an easy interface to use, such as vmware, I don't rate it personally, however, it is a good introduction
[09:40] <mohamed_> psypher246, sudo fdisk -l
[09:40] <h0ax> !qemu
[09:40] <ikonia> howtoo: apologies
[09:41] <DistroJockey> _julian_, you could try:   sudo tasksel
[09:41] <psypher246> i can see all the partitions there
[09:41] <hwdyki> help pls.
[09:41] <howtoo> np =)
[09:41] <_julian_> DistroJockey: thanks a lot (c:
[09:41] <mohamed_> psypher246, are you sure that usb harddisk is hdc ?
[09:41] <DistroJockey> _julian_, you're welcome
[09:41] <rrohde> I found the easiest is Virtual Box.. it's even inside the Ubuntu repos :)
[09:42] <interzone> How do I update to feisty without waiting for the updater to prompt me?
[09:42] <esteth_> Can i expect FF3 RC1 in the repository any time soon, or is the team going to go straight to FF3 final once it comes out?
[09:42] <psypher246> it's not hdc sdc

[09:57] <sam_> well, my current experience over the last week of Ubuntu is that it sucks
[09:57] <psypher246> all i did was open gparted
[09:57] <sam_> but its starting to grow on me
[09:57] <psypher246> well i have to agree, i have been using ubuntu since breezy and hardy is BUG-GY!
[09:57] <psypher246> i just WISH that for once, new things are not added and bugs are actually fixed
[09:57] <sam_> well, First format, Ubuntu goes and puts /home and root on the same partition, and doesnt give me read write access.
[09:57] <sam_> Second format: Grub 17 error without dualbooting
[09:58] <sam_> Third: Wine flat out refuses to work
[09:58] <heymr> psypher246, bugs do get fixed... lol. get a real distro :P
[09:58] <psypher246> which one then?
[09:59] <Gustov> what's a good general chat room?
[09:59] <psypher246> mm chicken
[09:59] <cybic_> hello... anyone with a IBM X31 and ubuntu here? :)
[09:59] <sam_> so EnvyNG didnt work, how do I uninstall the drivers it installed?
[10:00] <DJones> Gustov: You could try #defocus for a general chatroom
[10:00] <Gustov> thanks dj
[10:00] <bazhang> Gustov, or #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:00] <gooody> where can i find the source folder of applications? i need to uninstall self compiled applications.
[10:00] <psypher246> dudes I LOOOOOVE ubuntu. it is the shizzness. i am from south africa like Mr Shuttleworth and love the work he's dooing, but i just wish all the annoying things that have been in ubuntu since foreever gets fixed instead of new features being added
[10:00] <Gustov> it just seems like irc is only for linux now
[10:02] <sam_> well, I can tell I'd LOVE ubuntu...
[10:02] <sam_> if it worked.
[10:02] <ikonia> Gustov: there is pleanty of non linux irc clients
[10:02] <erUSUL> gooody: that's where you untarred the source code and many apps do not have a make uninstall target so you will have to delete files by hand
[10:02] <bazhang> psypher246, great to hear; could you please move it to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[10:02] <sam_> so how do I uninstall drivers?
[10:02] <Gustov> well.. i mean the theme of every irc room is linux based distros lol
[10:02] <Gustov> I kinda just want to talk about life and stuff
[10:02] <bazhang> Gustov, this is freenode
[10:02] <Scarecrow> Gustov: No... No, they're not.
[10:02] <Gustov> is freenode known for computer chat?
[10:02] <sam_> How do I uninstall bad video drivers?
[10:02] <Gustov> what would be a good server for just whatever?
[10:02] <ikonia> Gustov: no, there are hundreds of non-linux channels, if you join #freenode you can get advice on how to use your client to search for them
[10:02] <bazhang> sam_, installed how
[10:02] <sam_> through EnvyNG
[10:02] <bazhang> same use the same tool then
[10:02] <Scarecrow> Gustov: efnet?
[10:02] <bazhang> err sam
[10:02] <Gustov> efnet.. cool
[10:02] <Gustov> thanks
[10:03] <sam_> hmm, EnvyNG has no uninstall feature
[10:03] <Gustov> only one server a time though, right?
[10:03] <psypher246> weird, usb working fine now????
[10:03] <Scarecrow> Gustov: Not necessarily.
[10:03] <cybic_> so nobody is using ubuntu on a x31?
[10:03] <Scarecrow> Gustov: Not in my client.
[10:03] <marcus> Hi everyone :)
[10:03] <ikonia> cybic_: as in the thinkpad ?
[10:03] <Scarecrow> Gustov: Not in most clients, afaik.
[10:03] <Gustov> miranda here
[10:04] <cybic_> ikonia: yes, a thinkpad x31
[10:04] <bullgard4> What might be the reason that rsnapshot last night took more than an hour while at all other days it took 10 mins maximum?
[10:04] <psypher246> k i got another ON-topic question. is it possible to speed up the boot process by diabaling hardware autodetection and compiling the drivers you need into the kernel?
[10:04] <psypher246> i have an eee pc that takes 2min 15 secs to boot, just not cool
[10:04] <cybic_> ikonia: just need an advice, how to get less in power consumtion ;)
[10:04] <erUSUL> psypher246: yes; i do not think you will gain much but it is possible
[10:05] <bazhang> which eeepc and how booted (sd card or other) psypher246
[10:06] <psypher246> either with the built in ssd or an external hdd
[10:06] <Kalamansi> hello im trying to install a software of ubutu server 8... what key should i execute so that i could select all packages like lamp,openssh etc..X key is not working...
[10:06] <erUSUL> cybic_: install and use powertop to find out who is causing power drain
[10:08] <psypher246> eee 700
[10:08] <marcus> I'm running 2 software raids on an ubuntu server 8.04 lts. md0 and md1. when I do mdadm -D /dev/md1 the state says "clean, Not started". but its mounted and I can read data from it. /proc/mdstat states that it has 0 blocks(?!). the array size information is also missing from the mdadm -D, and the used dev size states 0. What is going on with my raid?
[10:08] <psypher246> i have followed all the usual increase boot speed howto's
[10:08] <cybic_> erUSUL: done already, still getting about 11,9 Watt
[10:08] <bazhang> psypher246, that may work but with the eeepc may also be a hardware limitation they have a channel and wiki as well
[10:08] <erUSUL> cybic_: http://www.lesswatts.org/
[10:08] <psypher246> do u know the link?
[10:08] <bazhang> #eeepc and www.eeeuser.com wiki psypher246
[10:08] <psypher246> yeah been there done all that
[10:08] <psypher246> was hoping sumone had some more ideas
[10:10] <cybic_> erUSUL: thx
[10:12] <patrik> Hi I would like to give a directory and all it's subdirectories +x permission (with chmod) but without touching the files in the directories. How do I do that?
[10:13] <ethana2> I'm on a dual seat rig, and I can't get my machine to mount my camera media
[10:13] <ethana2> I used gksu nautilus and it didn't see the camera at all
[10:13] <ethana2> f-spot sees it but can't /do/ anything with it
[10:13] <marcus> noone for my raid problem? :)
[10:13] <titusg> anyone know how I get a reading of the state of my laptop battery on the command line?
[10:13] <erUSUL> patrik: find /dir/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod +x
[10:13] <vasi> patrik:   find /path/to/dir -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod +x
[10:13] <vasi> erUSUL: nice timing :-)
[10:14] <erUSUL> vasi: :P
[10:14] <ethana2> Bus 003 Device 005: ID 040a:05aa Kodak Co.
[10:14] <patrik> erUSUL: vasi: Thanks!
[10:15] <bain> Morning everybody. Is there anybody around that can help me with a pppoe and pppd, I need to setup pppoe to use two concentrators.
[10:15] <r00tintheb0x> ethana2, are the permissions correct on the device?
[10:15] <r00tintheb0x> Whats the model number of your camera?
[10:15] <erUSUL> ethana2: have you tried gthumb or gtkam ??
[10:15] <ethana2> uh, I don't know, I don't know, and no
[10:15] <ethana2> but I can do some finding out
[10:16] <ethana2> Kodak EasyShare C433
[10:16] <r00tintheb0x> ethana2, that'd be good.
[10:16] <ethana2> probably not
[10:16] <r00tintheb0x> ok, hold.
[10:16] <ethana2> k
[10:16] <ethana2> ...and I'll install those two now
[10:17] <marcus> Should I be able to mount and access data on a raid that has the state: clean, Not started?
[10:17] <gooody> how can i uninstall self compiled softwares?
[10:18] <koshari> gooody thats why its a good idea to use chkinstall
[10:18] <bain> Is it possible to setup pppoe with two concentrators and switching between then when needed ?
[10:18] <Koheleth> what is the command to install the restricted driver for ati hd2400 please
[10:19] <ethana2> gtkam detects no cameras....
[10:19] <gooody> koshari: sorry but i'm new to linux and not yet familiar with chkinstall. i'm just following instructions from blogs.
[10:19] <ethana2> ...aand same with gthumb
[10:19] <gooody> koshari: is there other way to uninstall the software?
[10:20] <eikke> anyone knows how to get the Python hotspot module in ubuntu?
[10:20] <Koheleth> what is the command to install the restricted driver for ati hd2400 please
[10:20] <Koheleth> !ati
[10:21] <sammyice> anyone know tool to manage updates centrally, got 25 ubuntu boxes
[10:22] <sammyice> would like to push package updates and also not have all boxes download the updates directly but from a local repo
[10:23] <koshari> gooody was there a log left when you compiled the binarys?
[10:23] <anormallu> hi
[10:23] <xur1z> can i use the alternate installer CD to install an LVM raid1 with 2x mirrored disks?
[10:23] <anormallu> libcrypto.so.0 and libcrypto.so.2 missing
[10:23] <anormallu> how can i put it?
[10:24] <koshari> sammyice you want to check out apt-cacher
[10:25] <gooody> koshari: i don't know. where can i find those log files?
[10:25] <anormallu>  error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[10:25] <koshari> they would likely be in the directory where you compiled the binarys, how did you install the package?
[10:26] <anormallu> how can i install?
[10:26] <sriramoman> has anybody run captainclaw game in emulation [not virtualisation] softeware?
[10:26] <PodMan99a> hey all ... using ubuntu 8.04 on my new mail server postfix / (dspam/amavis) and neither of them are modifing headers.... when I know that older versions modified headers successfully any ideas?
[10:26] <gooody> i follow this blog "http://blog.sartek.net/2008/04/install-xmms-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html".
[10:28] <ethana2> r00tintheb0x: I had this problem on the alpha of hardy, I guess I assumed it'd be fixed by now.
[10:28] <garrett__> I've got an odd issue.  After running something like NWN, even after restarting X, glxgears reports a 700fps drop under my baseline.  If I reboot, it's all cool.  Windows take forever to draw in, and the system's just really laggy.
[10:28] <garrett__> same thing was happening in windows
[10:28] <ethana2> r00tintheb0x: should I do a fresh install?
[10:29] <ethana2> garrett__: what GPU?
[10:29] <garrett__> any way to diagnose this?  memtest doesn't report anything, and SMART utils says my disk's fine.  any health-report software for video cards?
[10:29] <garrett__> ethana2: geforce 4 440gp (32mb)
[10:29] <koshari> goody do you want to remove just the xmms binary or all the dependencies as well?
[10:29] <ethana2> garrett__: interesting....  buggy drivers I think
[10:29] <ethana2> garrett__: that card probably isn't even supported anymore, is it?
[10:29] <garrett__> ethana2: I was using the omega 6693 drivers under windows, and they'd been fine for a year or so.
[10:30] <ethana2> hmm
[10:30] <gooody> koshari: including the dependencies
[10:30] <BuRn_sLuG> Does anyone know how to have a wireless NIC connect to a router upon boot? (this is for a headless server, administered via command line)
[10:30] <ethana2> garrett__: there probably is some suite of sensors with gpu stuff, but I don't do much like that
[10:30] <garrett__> ethana2: hm. i'll keep looking.  thanks anyhow
[10:30] <ethana2> yeah
[10:31] <ethana2> garrett__: I hope it lived a good, full life
[10:31] <garrett__> ethana2: it's like almost 6years old at this point :P
[10:31] <randomnr> man why is ff3b5 so damn slow :(
[10:31] <koshari> gooody thats not a great idea because other packages may rely on thedependencies, thats why its wise to use a package manager to manage your software, is it causing trouble, porsonally i would live with it, may i ask why you installed it from source rather than getting a deb package?
[10:31] <garrett__> ethana2: still sort of surprised it still does what i want (roughly)--or did, anyhow
[10:31] <ethana2> randomnr: what are you talking about?
[10:32] <ethana2> garrett__: 32 MB
[10:32] <ethana2> garrett__: that's hilarious to me
[10:32] <randomnr> ethana2: firefox 3 beta 5 is much slower than ff2
[10:32] <randomnr> and it fucks up the sound daemon
[10:32] <ethana2> randomnr: opposite experience here
[10:32] <ethana2> that would be flash
[10:33] <randomnr> yeah
[10:33] <ethana2> also
[10:33] <gooody> koshari: actualy i'm new to linux and don't know how to install xmms in ubuntu hardy.
[10:33] <ethana2> !o4o
[10:33] <ethana2> oops
[10:33] <ethana2> !ohmy
[10:33] <ethana2> yeah, that's the one
[10:33] <gordonjcp> gooody: xmms isn't packaged for hardy, but audacious is a good alternative
[10:33] <koshari> gooody to install software you are best to research installing via synaptic to begin with
[10:34] <randomnr> ethana2: the thing is when I watch a flash video with sound and then some other Application such as vlc oder pidgin makes a sound, the complete system halts
[10:34] <ethana2> :(
[10:34] <gordonjcp> !botabuse | ethana2
[10:34] <koshari> gooody the packages in the repositorys are generally good makes and using the package manager it is a lot easier to remove
[10:34] <ethana2> gordonjcp: I just did the wrong thing, sorry
[10:35] <gooody> koshari: i usualy use synaptic for softwares available in repo
[10:35] <atmanam> randomnr: is pulseaudio daemon running?
[10:35] <DracoZA> why is it CTRL+H ?? I have small hands :(
[10:35] <gordonjcp> ethana2: ah, sorry, I thought you were a random teasing the bot
[10:35] <UriN> Привет
[10:35] <ethana2> gordonjcp: no, I avoid doing that
[10:35] <koshari> gooody thats good, is xmms not available in the repos?
[10:35] <ethana2> yarr, the guy who was helping me left the channel....
[10:35] <UriN> Привет
[10:35] <bazhang> !ru | UriN
[10:36] <gordonjcp> ethana2: incidentally I appear to be the only one that finds it amusing and somewhat ironic that "ohmy" is homophonic to a very rude word in my local language
[10:36] <randomnr> atmanam: yes, pulseaudio is running
[10:36] <gooody> koshari: it's not available in hardy.
[10:36] <gordonjcp> koshari: use audacious
[10:36] <atmanam> randomnr: pulseaudio is supposed to take care of exactly that problem
[10:37] <atmanam> koshari:or beep-media-player
[10:37] <gordonjcp> atmanam: do you know if it's possible to remove or completely disable pulseaudio?
[10:37] <koshari> gordonjcp i use amarok, its gooody looking for xmms, irecall it was repackaged as beep media player in a previous version
[10:37] <atmanam> gordon..:i guess apt-get --purge remove should do the trick
[10:38] <gordonjcp> koshari: yeah, beep was a port to gnome2, but I'm not sure if that's still maintained
[10:38] <gordonjcp> atmanam: I think that might just have  a knock-on effect on other packages
[10:38] <gooody> gordonjcp: i am used to xmms since it was available in gutsy and it's similar to winamp.
[10:38] <atmanam> gordon..:or just remove the corresponding startu script in /etc/init.d/
[10:38] <atmanam> so that it does'nt run on startup
[10:39] <gordonjcp> gooody: audacious is the modern version of XMMS
[10:39] <gooody> koshari: is there a way to remove xmms without removing the dependencies?
[10:39] <gordonjcp> atmanam: good point, it is just a daemon
[10:39] <atmanam> gooody: XMMS is gtk-1..which means the fonts are all screwed up
[10:39] <gordonjcp> gooody: you may as well just leave xmms, for all the space it takes up
[10:40] <koshari> you could simply delete the binary file if you knew what it was but thats a bit of a messy way of going about things,
[10:40] <gooody> gordonjcp: i'll try that after i remove xmms from my system.
[10:40] <atmanam> gordon..:xmms has some very nice plugins
[10:40] <gordonjcp> atmanam: they're easy to port
[10:40] <randomnr> atmanam: hmm thank you ill try to modify the startup scripts
[10:40] <randomnr> bye
[10:40] <BuRn_sLuG> Does anyone know how to have a wireless NIC connect to a router upon boot? (this is for a headless server, administered via command line)
[10:40] <punzada> i dont know who the hell thought that all these bloated and large ass music players are best for everyone, but it drives me nuts ;x
[10:40] <koshari> IIRC xmms is tiny and it will be taking up bugger all space
[10:41] <pain> hi, i am not sure about latex, especially etex. which ubuntu-package contains etex?
[10:41] <bazhang> !find latex
[10:41] <koshari> gooody if you still have the directory tou compiled it in available there may be a log file there
[10:41] <koshari> gooody otherwise there are often uninstall scripts left behind,
[10:42] <pain> !find etex
[10:42] <gooody> i may have deleted the directory as instructed
[10:42] <koshari> gooody but agian these actions are not withour risk
[10:42] <atmanam> goody: i did'nt follow the earlier conversation...but looks like you want "sudo make uninstall"
[10:42] <bazhang> !info tetex-bin
[10:43] <gooody> koshari: it's OK. i'm willing to take the risk.
[10:43] <pain> if i want to have etex, do I have to install tetex?
[10:43] <koshari> antmanam gooody installed a proggie compiled from source without checkinstall, and then deleted the dir the source was it
[10:43] <pain> i am a little bit confused about tex-distros and how they are related to each other...
[10:44] <Ontolog> How to use apt-cache to tell me if a package is actually installed or not?
[10:44] <Benjie> Hardy keeps freezing! Locking up completely! Gutsy didn't - whats up?!
[10:44] <exyan> Hey, any ideas on how to mount .bin files?
[10:44] <antx> hi all
[10:45] <Benjie> I only installed it on saturday, and it has crashed every night since then and 3 times since midnight today already.
[10:45] <atmanam> koshari: unless he knows what the binaries ans libs are named(in which case he can use "find /"), he cant do much
[10:45] <Benjie> (I'm in UK, its 10:45am currently)
[10:45] <antx> hi benjie
[10:45] <Benjie> antx, hi
[10:46] <napster> Hey can i copy my gmail contacts to evolution address book????
[10:46] <gooody> koshari: how can i locate the uninstall scripts?
[10:46] <atmanam> Benjie: the .bin is an iso or a movie file?
[10:46] <napster> Hey can i copy my gmail contacts to evolution address book????
[10:46] <Benjie> atmanam, you mean exyan
[10:46] <atmanam> Benjie:oops.sorry
[10:47] <erUSUL> napster: i think gmail can export contacts as vcard then import them on evolution
[10:47] <atmanam> exyan: the .bin is an iso or a movie file?
[10:47] <Ecclipse> napster : yes U can
[10:47] <exyan> atmanam: data
[10:48] <napster> as vcard???
[10:48] <KingOfDos> i've got a strange problem. after updating from ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 my server won't allow any network connections.
[10:48] <exyan> atmanam: atmanam mounting with a loop and type as iso doesn't seem to do the trick
[10:48] <koshari> gooody get the /xmms-1.2.11.tar.gz tarball again and open it and see if there is a file called uninstall ect
[10:48] <zvacet> koshari : sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename
[10:48] <KingOfDos> I can ping the server from localhost to localhost and the two interfaces in the server.
[10:49] <zvacet> koshari : or sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq packagename
[10:49] <gooody> koshari: it doesn't contain uninstall files.
[10:49] <KingOfDos> but it just won't allow any other connections. it looks like the network cables are unplugged.
[10:49] <babo> how do i stop the Download page from popping up in FireFox ?
[10:50] <KingOfDos> but it CAN'T be possible that the cables are unplugged, since the host is running on VMWare ESX.
[10:50] <koshari> gooody sartek said...   in XMMS' source folder execute:
[10:50] <koshari> # make uninstall
[10:50] <koshari> if you removed it, follow again the steps
[10:50] <koshari> so:
[10:50] <koshari> # ./configure --prefix=/usr
[10:50] <koshari> # make uninstall
[10:50] <zvacet> gooody : I didn´t look wel so commanda I posted to koshari are for you
[10:51] <koshari> zvacet it was installed from source not a package
[10:51] <gooody> koshari: my problem is i can't locate the folder
[10:51] <koshari> gooody you will have to downlaod it again and make the uninstall
[10:52] <zvacet> koshari : yes I know and I just give you suggestion how to handle it
[10:52] <koshari> gooody sartek has this in his blog half way down
[10:53] <gooody> koshari: ok, i kinda figure it out.
[10:53] <koshari> gooody it will be roughly the same process you did by installing it
[10:54] <gooody> koshari: i have to follow the instruction until the third step then make uninstall right?
[10:54] <koshari> gooody yep
[10:55] <gooody> koshari: i'll try it. thanks a lot for the help.
[10:56] <NetBeanz> kewl
[10:59] <ari_stress> afternoon
[11:01]  * dywanik welcomes everybody :-)
[11:01] <carrie> Hey i have a laptop that has a fresh install using wubi of 8.04, and it wont play sound through the headphones output, to the speakers
[11:02] <soundray> !sound | carrie
[11:03] <gooody> koshari: the uninstall process returns an error.
[11:05] <acech> !mp3
[11:06] <Lanlost> hi, I made a partition (/boot) as ext3. Two questions. 1) Is ext3 ok for this? and 2 It's asking me where I want to install the boot loader and is defaulting at hd0.. should I use the one that is /boot? Or is /boot a seperate thing?
[11:06] <muszek> hi... I'd like to install some package (xvidcap) on a laptop that doesn't have internet access... is there any way to figure out (and possibly download) all dependencies?
[11:06] <Lanlost> I read a page about partitioning.. I've partitioned before, I was just trying to be more flexible
[11:07] <Suthesan> Lapinux
[11:07] <Suthesan> :)
[11:07] <zvacet> Lanlost : do you really need boot partition?
[11:07] <f0rmat> i was just wondering could anyone tell me whether 8.04 has any serious problems last time i used it over the course of a day it just fell to peices first the GUI then it became totally unstable and that wasn't the BETA
[11:08] <soundray> Lanlost: 1)  yes. 2) the boot loader does not go into a partition, but into the master boot record of the first HD in your system.
[11:08] <Suthesan> anyone here using acer aspire 4520?
[11:08] <zvacet> Lanlost : I mean you can make jusr root and home (and swap of course)
[11:08] <soundray> !anyone | Suthesan
[11:08] <live>  -cŹ.czxcxx
[11:09] <live> ola
