[06:38] <c0rrupt`> ey does anyone know if there is PLINK for linux?
[06:38] <c0rrupt`> i would use ssh but it doesnt have the -pw switch for tunnels
[06:39] <WayCool> Dr. W: I have no problem burning the CD with this .iso file; the problem comes later when I am trying to boot the system from it to start the DSL install
[06:39] <sanfaix> how get support for telugu fonts for firefox
[06:39] <hAvAAck> hey does anyone know if there's a certain defect I should be looking for when I attempt to install/run live CD of ubuntu and get "kernel panic"?
[06:40] <DShepherd> WayCool: you on gnome? if you are.. just right click the cd image and click burn ISO. that should make it bootable.
[06:41] <WayCool> Dsh: I am now working from under windows...
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> WayCool,  its Possible the cd image is bad.. or the dsl live cd - dont like your system/
[06:41] <kieran> Just burn the image with alcohol 120 or nero...
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> DSL worked for me on this box.. but DSL-N dident. :()
[06:42] <sycron> Can I make (or is there already) a shortcut keyboard command to open a terminal window? Say alt+t or something?
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> 'Burn at once' is a nice iso burner program for windows. Free. :P and small
[06:42] <WayCool> DrW: I am using ONES to burn.
[06:43] <sycron> No?
[06:43] <mneptok> hAvAAck: have you MD5summed the CD image you have, and burned another copy if the sum is correct?
[06:43] <VileChild> I have one more question for all of you :), it's recently come to my attention that I live beside multiple neighbourhood hot spots and was wondering how Ubuntu wil handle wireless? That's basically my only form of an internet connection in my room
[06:43] <Geoffrey2> what would be a good photo program in the repos to use to cut the file size of jpgs?
[06:43] <jordan> Can somebody help me with this gnomebaker Error? (The plugin to handle a file of type audio/mpeg is not installed.)
[06:43] <WayCool> and I tried two diff images for DSL with same results: the system doesn't boot from the burnt cd
[06:44] <LJHarb> hello
[06:44] <LJHarb> i have a question.,
[06:44] <cheesy1> c0rrupt`, don't think there is but could be wrong. supplying passwords from shell invocation is terrible from a security standpoint.
[06:44] <c0rrupt`> i know
[06:44] <c0rrupt`> but thats irrelevant
[06:44] <hAvAAck> mneptok- I'm not quite sure what MD5summed is :( I burned myself a cd twice, but it was from the same iso
[06:44] <junaid> VileChild: ubuntu wireless is simple. My laptop has had no problems working in many different places
[06:45] <LJHarb> i just installed ubuntu server with lamp, and i can shell into it fine locally - and when the server is set to acquire an ip from the router with dhcp, and ive forwarded port 22, i can shell into the server remotely too
[06:45] <mneptok> hAvAAck: are you using a Unix-like OS now?
[06:45] <LJHarb> but when i set the server to use a static ip from the router, i can only shell in locally
[06:45] <hAvAAck> mneptok: no, windows xp
[06:45] <VileChild> junaid: So should I buy any specific type of wireless card? I'm pretty sure the wireless routers will be compatible, they work with my brothers laptop and my nintendo ds as well
[06:45] <garrett|mobile> I'm off like a prom dress.
[06:45] <mneptok> hAvAAck: no idea how to md5sum a file on Windows. but GIYF.
[06:45] <amicrawler> did they ever fix the nvidia  in ubuntu
[06:45] <garrett|mobile> Later #ubuntu.
[06:45] <LJHarb> theres a free prog you can download havaack
[06:46] <pike_> amicrawler: ?
[06:46] <LJHarb> ami, what nvidia problem?
[06:46] <amicrawler> yes
[06:46] <jbroome> md5summer i think is what you're looking for
[06:46] <fluvvell> amicrawler: my nvidia works perfectly
[06:46] <Geoffrey2> I have some jpgs that were taken with a digital camera, and I'd like to trim them down in terms of file size before posting them for online viewing
[06:46] <reuben> question -- how do i restore the partition table of a disk? i can mount it manually, but if i look at it using fdisk or parted they claim no partitions
[06:46] <junaid> VileChild: I've only used a centrino laptop
[06:46] <amicrawler> were in bager all you need to do is load the deb files
[06:46] <amicrawler> and reset x
[06:46] <WayCool> poningru: I tried installing two diff images from DSL: dsl-3.0.1.iso and dsl-3.0.1-syslinux.iso
[06:46] <LJHarb> my nvidia has a problem, thats why im asking too
[06:46] <pike_> amicrawler: your using a k7 kernel by chance?
[06:46] <magneticubuntu> Guys I dont have Art Manager in My Prefs on Dapper? HOw to find it please?
[06:47] <fluvvell> amicrawler: did you do   sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[06:47] <WayCool> poningru: with same results...  no booting...
[06:47] <amicrawler> nope i'm a 686i
[06:47] <mneptok> magneticubuntu: "Art Manager?"
[06:47] <Cirvin_Fox> my USB flash drive is not detected when i plug it into the computer, the light doesnt even come on, but sometimes it will work if i have it in the computer when i boot up, any idea why this is?
[06:47] <poningru> WayCool: dsl? damn small lin?
[06:47] <WayCool> poningru: yes
[06:47] <VileChild> damn small was my first distribution : P
[06:47] <amicrawler> how do i get the new snyapticks gui?
[06:47] <LJHarb> ok did anyone have any ideas for my question?
[06:47] <poningru> WayCool: sorry to be rude but why are you asking here about dsl?
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> amicrawler,  new?
[06:48] <poningru> LJHarb: whats wrong?
[06:48] <hAvAAck> awesome, thanks a lot. I DLed md5summer and I'll check the cd
[06:48] <LJHarb> "i just installed ubuntu server with lamp, and i can shell into it fine locally - and when the server is set to acquire an ip from the router with dhcp, and ive forwarded port 22, i can shell into the server remotely too"
[06:48] <fluvvell> LJHarb: sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[06:48] <amicrawler> that mepis has
[06:48] <VileChild> ./join #dsl
[06:48] <LJHarb> thanks fluv, ill try that for my nvidia problem... still got the ssh problem tho
[06:48] <ablyss> i believe warty used some nvidia legacy cards w/ out a hitch, dapper on the other hand is more picky and legacy cards wont work with any other driver but legacy
[06:48] <WayCool> poningru: I didn
[06:48] <LJHarb> fluv: says command not found.
[06:48] <mneptok> LJHarb: did you set your router to forward port 22 to the static IP you gave the machine?
[06:48] <poningru> oh... sorry
[06:48] <LJHarb> yes
[06:48] <WayCool> poningru: I didn't know they had a channel :)
[06:48] <pike_> LJHarb: the static ip is the same assigned through dhcp when you setup forwarding to that port right?
[06:48] <reuben> **how do i restore the partition table of a disk? i can mount it manually, but if i look at it using fdisk or parted they claim no partitions (sorry for the repeat, it's busy!!)
[06:49] <LJHarb> mneptok: and the router also forwards ports to other static ip'd computers and those work fine
[06:49] <poningru> WayCool: they do
[06:49] <WayCool> ok :)
[06:49] <LJHarb> no, wrong pike - but i change the interfaces file when i change from dhcp to static
[06:49] <foo> Is there alsaconf in ubuntu >?
[06:49] <WayCool> thank's guys :)))
[06:49] <StreetSmart> Hey guys, can anyone tell me how to remove my windows partition icon from the desktop.
[06:49] <Cirvin_Fox> my USB flash drive is not detected when i plug it into the computer, the light doesnt even come on, but sometimes it will work if i have it in the computer when i boot up, any idea why this is?
[06:49] <LJHarb> i use <IP_ADDRESS> for static, and .101 or something for dhcp
[06:49] <DShepherd> magneticubuntu: trying install gnome-art package
[06:49] <LJHarb> but i always change the forwarding to match.
[06:49] <junaid> which channel should i go to for issues with my laptop's sd-card reader?
[06:49] <DShepherd> magneticubuntu: trying installing the gnome-art package
[06:49] <mneptok> LJHarb: and you used ifconfig to ensure that the Ubuntu machine is actually using the IP you want on the interface you expect?
[06:49] <LJHarb> and i can ping to and from the machines too
[06:49] <jrattner1> QUESTION: Anyone have a Treo 700p here
[06:49] <LJHarb> yes
[06:49] <magneticubuntu> DShepherd, thx
[06:49] <LJHarb> to mnep.
[06:50] <DShepherd> magneticubuntu: np
[06:50] <pike_> junaid: here
[06:50] <magneticubuntu> DShepherd, installing :P
[06:50] <fluvvell> LJHarb: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[06:50] <Psykus> anyone know why network manager would not be seeing any of my network connections?
[06:50] <VileChild> By default, what development tools does Ubuntu come with any decent dev tools? AND (don't get mad!) is their a nice beginners tutorial to Ubuntu as a first distribution
[06:50] <DShepherd> magneticubuntu: let me know if it works
[06:50] <phargle> LJHarb: what do you do with your treo?
[06:50] <magneticubuntu> ANyone running MythTV here?
[06:50] <felipe> hi
[06:50] <magneticubuntu> Or know of an IRC channel?
[06:50] <LJHarb> phar: the treo question was from jrattner
[06:50] <linux_user400354> does anyone know why i am getting this error? $ sudo apt-get install mpg123         Bus errorackage lists... 7%
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> VileChild,  not many dev tools installed at all BY DEFAULT.
[06:50] <felipe> im looking a vide oediting tool for ubuntu, like virtualdub or sony vegas
[06:51] <mneptok> LJHarb: you could always tweak /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to always ask for the same IP.
[06:51] <Cirvin_Fox> my USB flash drive is not detected when i plug it into the computer, the light doesnt even come on, but sometimes it will work if i have it in the computer when i boot up, any idea why this is?
[06:51] <amicrawler> were do i get new repositors?
[06:51] <magneticubuntu> felipe, use KINO
[06:51] <reuben> felipe - mainactor
[06:51] <felipe> im looking a vide oediting tool for ubuntu, like virtualdub or sony vegas
[06:51] <Dr_Willis> VileChild,  and the ubuntu homepage has oodles of guides.
[06:51] <junaid> pike: thnx. i'm having trouble with my sd card reader.
[06:51] <dbcef> thanks for the help to nigh I am gong to bed
[06:51] <magneticubuntu> felipe, apt-get install kino
[06:51] <sethk> VileChild, by default is strange.  don't confuse the default install options with by default
[06:51] <felipe> ok, thanks
[06:51] <felipe> ok, thanks
[06:51] <mneptok> LJHarb: you can also set such stuff in /etc/network/interfaces
[06:51] <magneticubuntu> DShepherd, YAY :) Thanks man
[06:51] <junaid> pike: if a cards in when booting, it gets mounted correctly...
[06:51] <magneticubuntu> I was trying to guess names with apt :)
[06:51] <reuben> felipe - if you need more than kino, mainactor is pretty high end. costs $$s tho
[06:51] <LJHarb> mneptok: yes, in that interfaces file, i have commented entries for dhcp and static that i alternate depending on what im trying
[06:52] <DShepherd> magneticubuntu: :-) kool
[06:52] <magneticubuntu> DShepherd, for search on apt is it apt-get cache-search?
[06:52] <magneticubuntu> DShepherd, for search on apt is it apt-get cache-search "x"
[06:52] <VileChild> hm
[06:52] <sethk> VileChild, if you run expert install, you can choose your dev utilities.
[06:52] <junaid> pike: but when i eject it and re-insert it, it does not show up
[06:52] <mneptok> LJHarb: you can set the DHCP entry to always request the same IP address
[06:52] <sethk> VileChild, or you choose the other package.  ubuntu 'comes with' absolutely all of them.
[06:52] <morphix> hmm.. i installed dapper onto a usb hdd and it seems i have to edit it a bit to get usb loading up when its booting up, i tried to use a breezy cd and get into rescue mode, except it doesnt detect my usb hdd, i am currently booted into my other linux install and mounted the usb hdd and can write to it using sudo, except when i try to do "mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-<kernelver> /lib/modules/<kernelver> i get a error of "is not a v
[06:52] <morphix> alid kernel"
[06:52] <DShepherd> magneticubuntu: not its apt-cache search.. but i just use aptitude search
[06:52] <dan> does anyone know what Rhythym Box won't download podcasts?
[06:52] <reuben> QUESTION - last try - anybody know how to restore a partition table on a disk? it'
[06:52] <LJHarb> mneptok: yes, i could do that on the router too, that just seems unnecessary
[06:52] <dan> and is there a better application?
[06:52] <magneticubuntu> DShepherd, ah right
[06:52] <DShepherd> magneticubuntu: i prefer using aptitude.. but all are the different means to the same end
[06:53] <junaid> pike: i'm on dapper btw, and it used to work fine on breezy
[06:53] <VileChild> I'm a little worried because I'm hoping to learn python in the process of learning Linux/Ubuntu, but the book I purchased for Python (which is really all I can follow) requires certain software
[06:53] <pike_> junaid: i have always had problems with automount.  it might be as simple as opening a terminal and typing pmount /media/directory  whatever directory it mounted to at first
[06:53] <sethk> VileChild, what software?
[06:53] <felipe> ok, i am downloading it with synaptic.. thanks
[06:53] <DShepherd> dan: i really dont know why.. it should though
[06:53] <dan> yah
[06:53] <VileChild> Python 2.2.3, Pygame 1.5.6 and Livewires
[06:53] <Cirvin_Fox> my USB flash drive is not detected when i plug it into the computer, the light doesnt even come on, but sometimes it will work if i have it in the computer when i boot up, any idea why this is and how to fix it?
[06:53] <magneticubuntu> DShepherd, The download for the art is taking forever..
[06:53] <VileChild> he majority of examples don't work with 2.4.3 though
[06:53] <dan> it tires then gives me failed on every attempt
[06:53] <sethk> VileChild, by the say, it does have plink
[06:53] <mneptok> LJHarb: well, it seems more of a problem with your router than with Ubuntu. so if you want to use Ubuntu to fix the router's issue, i think that's the easiest way.
[06:54] <magneticubuntu> Cirvin_Fox, should work OOTB
[06:54] <sethk> VileChild, just install the earlier python from souce
[06:54] <sethk> VileChild, download and compiler it.
[06:54] <pike_> junaid: what i do is ls -t /dev | head and look for an entry for like sda1 or sdb1 and then type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb0 or whatever
[06:54] <LJHarb> mnep: thats what id think - but my router forwards ports to my static'ed win2k server machine just fine
[06:54] <magneticubuntu> Anyone Running MythTV?
[06:54] <LJHarb> flux: i installed that, then enabled it... lemme restart the server and see if its fixed
[06:54] <Cirvin_Fox> IT used to work back with hoary, but since i upgraded to dapper, (stepped up of course) it doesnt
[06:55] <amicrawler> how to get kde?
[06:55] <LJHarb> i mean fluv.
[06:55] <sycron> Anyone know of a good terminal commands site? Maybe a wiki or something?
[06:55] <Cirvin_Fox> i fear it may be an issue witht the device itself since my DSL box does the same thing
[06:55] <DShepherd> amicrawler: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[06:55] <dan> has anyone tried Amarox?
[06:55] <morphix> nevermind i figured it out. chrooted into the dir. then did it
[06:55] <junaid> pike: thnx. when i eject the card, /dev/mmcblk0p1 disappears, and i'm not able to remount it after that
[06:55] <pike_> sycron: the apropos command is useful like apropos format or whatever it searches man pages for you
[06:56] <damned[office] > morning
[06:56] <VileChild> sycron: http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/linux/cmd/ ?
[06:56] <junaid> pike: ie unless i reboot
[06:56] <amicrawler> Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[06:56] <amicrawler> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process usin
[06:56] <sycron> Thanks for both of those
[06:56] <DShepherd> dan: you mean Amarok.. yes I am sure some of us have tried it
[06:56] <hAvAAck> mneptok- I ran MD5summer on the disk and it came back with zero errors
[06:56] <junaid> pike: dmesg says " generic_make_request: Trying to access nonexistent block-device mmcblk0 (0)"
[06:56] <dan> think its better to use for podcatching than Rhythymbox?
[06:56] <DShepherd> amicrawler: you have synaptic running?  you need to close it or allow it to finish what it is doing..
[06:57] <amicrawler> humm doing updates
[06:57] <Cirvin_Fox> has anyone else had a USB flash drive not work on their machine when plugged it?
[06:57] <DShepherd> amicrawler: ok.. when you done.. run the command i gave you
[06:57] <pike_> junaid: this is an internal card reader then not usb right?
[06:58] <junaid> pike: yes
[06:58] <amicrawler> why can;t i run 2 diffrent  downloads @ the same time
[06:58] <LJHarb> fluv: i still have my nvidia issue - the bottom 3 lines of the screen are cut off on the monitor, but not in ssh of course.
[06:58] <LJHarb> mneptok: no idea why the ubuntu server would behave differently when set to static ip vs dhcp?
[06:58] <sshack> Hi, is there anywhere I can get a list of packages available in ubuntu? I'm particularly interested in lisp and scheme packages
[06:58] <junaid> pike: and its using wbsd
[06:58] <sycron> hm
[06:59] <DShepherd> sshack: packages.ubuntu.com
[06:59] <amicrawler> windows vista bites
[06:59] <jordan> Can somebody help me with this gnomebaker Error? (The plugin to handle a file of type audio/mpeg is not installed.)
[06:59] <amicrawler> eats up to much resoures
[06:59] <amicrawler> and ram  and video
[06:59] <sshack> DShepherd: Awesome.
[07:00] <DShepherd> sshack: kool
[07:00] <Cirvin_Fox> how do i manually mount a USB flash drive?
[07:00] <sshack> DShepherd: any way to find out what packages are available for sparc?
[07:01] <cheesy1> LJHarb, subnet ?
[07:01] <sshack> Seems the filter is listed to i386/ppc and amd64
[07:01] <mweisert> hey there everyone... I'm new to ubuntu and I am having issues getting it recognize my Rhine III Ethernet adaptor.  Any ideas?
[07:01] <DShepherd> sshack: I am not sure
[07:01] <amicrawler> mount /dev/!!!!!!!!/
[07:01] <sshack> Fair enough.
[07:01] <LJHarb> cheesy: subnet, addr, and gateway are manually specified in etc/network/interfaces when i try static.
[07:01] <sshack> DShepherd: I appreciate the help.
[07:01] <DShepherd> amicrawler: calm down
[07:02] <amicrawler> i am
[07:02] <DShepherd> sshack: no problem
[07:02] <LJHarb> cheesy: and i can ping fine, and access from local network fine - just not from outside the router. but when i switch to dhcp config, i cant connect from outside.
[07:02] <Cirvin_Fox> how do i manually mount a USB flash drive?
[07:02] <sycron> !dkpg
[07:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dkpg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:02] <sycron> err
[07:02] <amicrawler> it was just showing out buddy how to mount
[07:02] <DShepherd> sycron: wat do you want to know?
[07:02] <amicrawler> in unix
[07:02] <sycron> Oh, I was just wondering what dpkg means
[07:02] <sycron> decompress package?
[07:02] <briguyd> no
[07:03] <cafuego> debian package (manager)
[07:03] <briguyd> yep
[07:03] <amicrawler> add-pkg  !!!!!!!!!!.tgz
[07:03] <cafuego> dpkg is the command you use to install/remove packages.
[07:03] <junaid> pike: thanks for the time. maybe i'll just keep searching some more for the answer...
[07:03] <cafuego> amicrawler: pkg_add you mean?
[07:03] <pike_> i dont know you might try restarting some of the init.d scripts to see if one works like /etc/init.d/mountvirtfs restart and if it works take a look at what it did ... sory
[07:03] <pike_> well not that one
[07:04] <sycron> when dpkg is run with a '-i' what does that do?
[07:04] <amicrawler> pkg_add  !!!!!!!!!!.tgz  yep
[07:04] <amicrawler> does  deb run off of ports?
[07:04] <mweisert> sorry to ask again... can anyone recomment a way to get Ubuntu to recognize my Rhine III Ethernet adaptor?
[07:05] <magneticmos> VIA Rhine?
[07:05] <mweisert> yes
[07:05] <cafuego> sycron: From the `dpkg' man page: dpkg -i | --install package_file... "Install  the  package."
[07:05] <magneticmos> its pci or onboard?
[07:05] <mweisert> onboard
[07:05] <Necrosan> How do I make /dev/audioctl be there?
[07:06] <DShepherd> sycron: it installs the package that you ran it on
[07:06] <jbroome> mweisert: is it enabled in the BIOS?  Mine was autodetected fine
[07:06] <mweisert> no, did I miss a step somewhere?
[07:06] <amicrawler> were do i find a  good satlite app
[07:06] <Necrosan> How do I make /dev/audioctl be there?
[07:07] <mweisert> I popped the cd in last night, went to work, it was installed when I got home
[07:07] <jbroome> Oooh, fios.  sweet!
[07:07] <amicrawler> were do i find a  good satlite app
[07:07] <mweisert> How do I enable it in the BIOS?
[07:07] <mweisert> oh wait
[07:07] <mweisert> you mean <DEL> on startup BIOS?
[07:08] <jbroome> yesh
[07:08] <jbroome> err, yeah
[07:08] <mweisert> it should be... my windows partition gets it
[07:08] <jbroome> humm, then i'm at a loss, and on my way to bed
[07:09] <jnoon> can someone point me in the right direction of making a meta-package that will install a group of other packages ive built all at once?
[07:09] <mweisert> k, thanks anyways
[07:09] <amicrawler> lmms
[07:10] <LJHarb> ok so when im on the local session on my ubuntu server, the bottom 3 lines of text are cut off (ssh works fine of course) any idea how to fix it?
[07:11] <eyequeue> jnoon, debian/confrol is the key file, Depends: is the key line
[07:11] <eyequeue> jnoon, debian/control
[07:12] <eyequeue> jnoon, copy the rest from any source package i guess, and modify as appropriate (apt-get -b source foo, as user not sudo)
[07:12] <LJHarb> if it matters, i have a geforce 2 video cards.

[07:12] <amicrawler> grep | tail ~ sysinfo
[07:13] <Brokenstein> im trying to identify some problems im having and i noticed in system monitor i have 2 gdm processes running and 6 getty... all asleep. is this normal?
[07:13] <Toma-> LJHarb: what vga setting you using?
[07:13] <cafuego> Brokenstein: yes
[07:13] <LJHarb> toma, how do i check that?
[07:13] <LJHarb> toma, i think i picked 1024x768 or something when i installed but i forget
[07:13] <Toma-> LJHarb: itll be in the kernel boot line options
[07:13] <eyequeue> Brokenstein, the 6 getty are vt1 through vt6
[07:14] <eyequeue> Brokenstein, i don't know gdm part
[07:14] <Toma-> LJHarb: check out the vga= section of menu.lst
[07:14] <LJHarb> toma: and i would find that how?
[07:14] <LJHarb> toma: wheres that located?
[07:14] <Toma-> /boot/grub
[07:14] <jnoon> eyequeue, thanks
[07:14] <eyequeue> jnoon, np
[07:15] <eyequeue> jnoon, you'll need to have the packages in a repo that the machine can reach though for this to work of course
[07:15] <Brokenstein> so should i really have 2 gdm running?
[07:16] <LJHarb> toma: i dont see anything about vga in menu.lst except something thats commented
[07:16] <Toma-> LJHarb: hmm ok
[07:16] <eyequeue> jnoon, dpkg-scanpackages, may be helpful

[07:26] <alienseer23> the project is called bitpim, from sourceforge, but I do not understand how to get the sourcecode off of their sight
[07:26] <alienseer23> hobb, that did not work for this packages
[07:26] <alienseer23> I tried it already
[07:26] <alienseer23> thanks, tho
[07:26] <rupert> can someone help me with network manager? it seems the only thing its unable to do is DHCP to the access point, and I cant figure out how to make wpa_supplicant stop skipingi t

[07:27] <kevinh90> ubuntu surprised me
[07:27] <amicrawler> kevin what do you think of thelinux world
[07:28] <psyphen_> hey guys quick question
[07:28] <kevinh90> amicrawler, linux is great, i have been using it for about 2 years
[07:28] <Psykus> ugh, this isn't working, trying to set up an ad-hoc wifi connection between my ubuntu desktop and windows laptop, not sure which side is refusing to cooperate, but it's not working
[07:28] <kevinh90> amicrawler, just as soon as i used ubuntu i switched everything over
[07:28] <amicrawler> oh ?
[07:28] <amicrawler> i switched from suse and freebsd
[07:29] <kevinh90> i switched from gentoo
[07:29] <psyphen_> i'm having a problem with programs recognizing installed libraries, anybody having the same thing? opera doesn't work, airpwn doesn't work, etc. it says it can't find them ,but they're definitely installed.
[07:29] <kevinh90> and debian
[07:29] <amicrawler> gentoo to much updating
[07:29] <fyrestrtr> psyphen_: install the -dev versions
[07:29] <psyphen_> /usr/lib/opera/9.01-20060728.6/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:29] <kevinh90> amicrawler, i agree
[07:29] <psyphen_> but the libqt-mt.so.3 file is there
[07:29] <psyphen_> i did a locate, and it found it in the correct lib folder
[07:30] <cafuego> psyphen_: Install the static opera
[07:30] <kevinh90> only time gentoo is fast is when it is not updating, and unless your pc is super fast you are updating about 12 hours a day
[07:30] <amicrawler> well just gor kde in the system
[07:30] <psyphen_> i did, but its not working
[07:30] <fyrestrtr> psyphen_: how did you install opera?
[07:31] <kevinh90> amicrawler, i usually get a minimal X with twm before i dive into getting kde
[07:31] <cafuego> psyphen_: The static opera version doesn't need libqt.
[07:31] <amicrawler> kde is good
[07:31] <amicrawler> i like cde
[07:31] <amicrawler> and  xfce
[07:31] <moj0rising> I love KDE.
[07:31] <psyphen_> hmm that's weird
[07:31] <kevinh90> before i got ubuntu i didnt like gnome
[07:32] <psyphen_> i've g2g though
[07:32] <psyphen_> i'll come back later
[07:32] <psyphen_> cya
[07:32] <Flannel> kevinh90: there's KDE in ubuntu too, if you'd prefer
[07:32] <amicrawler> gnome if for the birds
[07:32] <moj0rising> Does anyone here know where I can find some good NFS instructions?
[07:32] <flasher> i'm having a hard time viewing a website that uses mostly flash. is there a way to download the tiny website onto my hard drive? I'm particulary desirious of the html pages. thanks
[07:32] <kieran> I wish there was a flux ubuntu distro.
[07:32] <kevinh90> Flannel, i noticed that, but with ubuntu i like gnome better
[07:32] <moj0rising> Yes. I use Kubuntu.
[07:32] <kieran> Easy enough to install flux, but a distro would be even better
[07:33] <fyrestrtr> flasher: wget can take care of that for you.
[07:33] <flasher> fyrestrtr: thanks. what command do i run to get ALL pages
[07:33] <flasher> ?
[07:33] <kevinh90> kind of like fedora, gnome is better than kde
[07:33] <kevinh90> i tried both ubuntu and kubuntu
[07:34] <Psykus> i didn't really like the way they had kubuntu laid out, seemed really unpolished, at least the UI
[07:34] <amicrawler> why can;t i find gui CDE
[07:34] <amicrawler> in ubuntu?

[07:35] <River> what is the best player / viewer to use to watch wmv files ? Totem chokes on wmv's
[07:35] <kevinh90> moj0rising, i think that kubuntu/xubuntu just get a little less thought put into them
[07:35] <moj0rising> I think they have fewer resources.
[07:35] <moj0rising> put into them.
[07:35] <Flannel> not to stifle this discussion, but.... gnome vs KDE vs [other]  talks belong in #ubuntu-offtopic, so you all know.  !offtopic doesn't mention it anymore.
[07:36] <moj0rising> I think it is more than sufficient though.
[07:36] <snoops> is there a way to configure wine so when applications are opened in it, they don't have that terrible dark gray for the window system colour?

[07:36] <kevinh90> uh theres no ops

[07:38] <amicrawler> any body home?
[07:38] <timothy> ok, madpilot: one question, "Run the mkdev.sh script in the lm-sensors source." what does 'in the lm-sensors source' mean, exactly?
[07:39] <kieran> the source directory
[07:39] <Madpilot> timothy, to be honest, you can ignore that and just the the sensors setup program
[07:39] <timothy> madpilot: ok, will give it a try
[07:39] <Madpilot> just *run* the setup program, is what I meant to type...

[07:44] <zanpakuto> Goblyn, probably mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hda /mnt/windows
[07:44] <LJHarb> flasher: make sure the file is actually in the directory and named appropriately, case sensitive.
[07:44] <zanpakuto> Goblyn, probably mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows
[07:45] <flasher> LJHarb: yes,  i see the blue background image (water image) but what about the flowchart, as the text says?
[07:45] <LJHarb> the flowchart isnt there - and when i access the image directly, it gives a 404 error. meaning the webserver cant find the image file.
[07:45] <zanpakuto> Goblyn, I am not sure if there is a gui in ubuntu for that.
[07:45] <LJHarb> so shell in, and check the directory to make sure its actually there
[07:46] <jamesstansell> flasher: or contact the website administrator

[07:57] <h6w> Flannel: Actually, I think I'm asking the wrong question.  I just booted from the "Alternate" CD and it only gave me OEM or Text mode option.  The whole reason I was running the desktop one was so that I could grab the xorg.conf file it used to run the Live CD.
[07:58] <h6w> My existing ubuntu system won't work with my new 865GV chipset.  It seems to freeze on boot.
[07:58] <h6w> I mean it freezes soon after you log in.

[08:09] <Lilandra> how can i find out the url of wpa_supplicant stored in the depositories and...well...download it?
[08:09] <kiranp1987> i am a linux newbie using kubuntu 6.06, and i can not get the ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 to work to change to a different session.  how do i fix this?
[08:09] <cafuego> Lilandra: apt-get install wpasupplicant
[08:09] <Lilandra> but it's already installed so it won't reinstall it
[08:09] <flasher> does anybody see anything at the center of this page http://litaquatics.com/courses/?
[08:10] <Lilandra> and if i uninstall it then i'll lose my internet so i wont be able to download it
[08:10] <cafuego> Lilandra: apt-get install --reinstall wpasupplicant
[08:10] <Lilandra> thanks...
[08:10] <Lilandra> will i lose my connection or it'll download first while it's still up?
[08:10] <cafuego> Lilandra: Either way, it will probably be cached in /var/cache/apt/archives
[08:10] <poningru> manmadha: try kino
[08:10] <poningru> kiranp1987: hmm it should
[08:10] <poningru> kiranp1987: are you sure you are holding down ctrl and alt then pressing f1?
[08:10] <Lilandra> no, it's not cached :)
[08:11] <manmadha> poningru, thank u
[08:11] <cafuego> Then do an 'apt-cache show wpasupplicant' and grab the Filename: part.
[08:11] <kiranp1987> um, yeah, pretty definitive
[08:11] <cafuego> Just add a repository to the front of that and wget it.
[08:11] <Lilandra> ah! thanks
[08:12] <poningru> kiranp1987: hmm
[08:12] <poningru> go into konsole
[08:12] <amicrawler> Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[08:12] <poningru> and type in xev
[08:12] <amicrawler> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[08:12] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: uso sudo
[08:12] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: use sudo*
[08:12] <amicrawler> that is what i get when i try to get libcssdvd for xine
[08:12] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: and close synaptic if its open
[08:13] <kiranp1987> xev:  unable to open display ':0.0'
[08:13] <amicrawler> it is not open using the cmd line
[08:13] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: are you using sudo?
[08:13] <amicrawler> yes
[08:13] <amicrawler> sudo  all ways   sudo is my buddie
[08:13] <poningru> hmm weird
[08:13] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: and you still have that error?
[08:13] <amicrawler> yes
[08:14] <poningru> amicrawler: make sure you dont have synaptic or automatix or easyubuntu or add/remove open
[08:15] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: what he said ^ :)
[08:15] <amicrawler> nope nothing runnig in top
[08:15] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: top might not show it
[08:15] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: try "ps ax"
[08:16] <wubrgamer> hey guys
[08:16] <wubrgamer> how do i install a font ?
[08:16] <NickGarvey> wubrgamer: hello :)
[08:16] <amicrawler> nope
[08:16] <NickGarvey> !font > wubrgamer
[08:16] <poningru> wubrgamer: download a font
[08:16] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: nothing at all?
[08:16] <poningru> oh
[08:16] <poningru> hehe
[08:16] <poningru> what ubotu said
[08:16] <amicrawler> nope
[08:16] <Shinzetsu> okay, I tried to install xgl, and now I screwed up either my xorg, gdm, or both, and dont know where to start
[08:17] <Flannel> Shinzetsu: start in #ubuntu-xgl
[08:17] <Shinzetsu> Flannel: okay
[08:17] <amicrawler> Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied
[08:17] <amicrawler> same thing for nvidia drivers
[08:18] <Lilandra> I have another question, when i install wpasupplicant, shouldn't /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant be created?
[08:18] <LJHarb> ami, are you sudod as su?
[08:18] <Flannel> amicrawler: Do you have synaptic/some other package manager open?
[08:18] <Lilandra> and /etc/default/wpasupplicant?
[08:18] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: something has it open, could you pastebin "ps ax" for me?
[08:18] <amicrawler> Couldn't find package nvidia
[08:19] <amicrawler> paste bin .org right
[08:19] <NickGarvey> !pastebin
[08:19] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[08:21] <amicrawler> ok in paste bin
[08:21] <Flannel> amicrawler: you need to get the url and paste it back here ;)
[08:22] <sniff_> anybody have wireless driver cnusb-611 for linux?
[08:22] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: link please?
[08:22] <amicrawler> t http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[08:22] <NickGarvey> heh I got it
[08:23] <amicrawler> see not a thing
[08:23] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: theres more to it then that, thats not all of ps ax
[08:23] <NickGarvey> amicrawler: please use ps ax, not top
[08:23] <loopout> Hey guys, I can't seem to get java run time to work on  firefox
[08:23] <LJHarb> ok can myself and another user on a diff account share the same screen?
[08:23] <sniff_> anybody have wireless driver cnusb-611 for linux?
[08:23] <hawkaloogie> LJHarb, there is "Run as different user"
[08:23] <NickGarvey> !java > loopout
[08:24] <snoops> is there a way to configure wine so when applications are opened in it, they don't have that terrible dark gray for the window system colour?
[08:24] <amicrawler> ok there you go
[08:24] <NickGarvey> LJHarb: use "su user" to change to another user in the terminal
[08:24] <Talisker[w] > Where is the session init script?
[08:24] <pinky> What do I do with MDF files?  It won't mount... how do I mount it?  or change it inot an ISO?
[08:24] <Talisker[w] > I have a few lines I'd like shoved down there
[08:24] <hawkaloogie> NickGarvey, but this is ubuntu? sudo su user
[08:24] <NickGarvey> LJHarb: like "su john" would change that session into john
[08:24] <NickGarvey> hawkaloogie: I don't think it metters
[08:24] <NickGarvey> matters*
[08:24] <LJHarb> then after that, attach the screen?
[08:24] <loopout> thanks Nick
[08:25] <amicrawler> see not a thing
[08:25] <LJHarb> im trying to walk other users thru some basic linux stuff.
[08:25] <Talisker[w] > could anyone just drop a name for a script which is being executed every time you log into your user?
[08:25] <LJHarb> .bashrc ?
[08:25] <NickGarvey> kdesu -u root -c adept '-icon' 'adept' '-miniicon' 'a 7110 pts/3
[08:25] <NickGarvey> ..
[08:25] <hawkaloogie> Talisker[w] , what are you trying to accomplish?
[08:25] <NickGarvey> that was it.
[08:26] <cdew4545> is there a way to install ubuntu from booting without having to load all the live cd stuff first??  i ask because i want to install on an older machine and it doesnt respond to double clicks very well and other functionality
[08:26] <NickGarvey> cdew4545: you can download an "alternate cd" which I think is what you want
[08:26] <Talisker[w] > hawk, I'm trying to customize my user
[08:27] <cdew4545> NickGarvey:  thanks
[08:27] <Talisker[w] > .bashrc thanks
[08:27] <Talisker[w] > .xinit didn't work
[08:27] <hawkaloogie> Talisker[w] , System > Preferences > Sessions
[08:27] <Talisker[w] > hawkaloogie, no thanks
[08:27] <Talisker[w] > that would require switching back to gnome
[08:27] <NickGarvey> \\\\\\\\\\
[08:27] <NickGarvey> (sorry, cat)
[08:29] <LJHarb> nick: how do i set the user's screen password, so i dont need to know their unix password?
[08:29] <LJHarb> and how do i set my own screen password?
[08:30] <NickGarvey> LJHarb: man passwd
[08:30] <dibblego> how do you burn a CD from the command line?
[08:30] <LJHarb> lol rtfm, gotcha
[08:31] <pinky> Is there no package to mount/convert MDF/MDS image files?
[08:31] <OsirisX11> Gnome Panel/Window List Question: Why is it sometimes the panel buttons on the window list on the bottom are fully exapanded, other times they are crunched next to each other, even when there is plenty of space? How can I tell it to use all the space it can so it cuts off as little text as possible?
[08:31] <NickGarvey> dibblego: do you mean an iso?
[08:31] <h6w> pinky: I've never even heard of them.  What application creates them?
[08:31] <thoreauputic> $ apt-cache search mdf image
[08:31] <thoreauputic> mdf2iso - A simple utility to convert mdf to iso / cue / toc images
[08:31] <dibblego> NickaNicka, not necessarily; a bunch of files for example
[08:32] <snoops> h6w alcohol 120%
[08:32] <pinky> h6w: Alcohol 120% I believe
[08:32] <snoops> and yes there is a way to do it pinky
[08:32] <snoops> just a sec and let me get the link
[08:32] <pinky> snoops: Yay!
[08:32] <thoreauputic> pinky: see above
[08:32] <thoreauputic> pinky: mdf2iso
[08:33] <NickGarvey> dibblego: not sure, I know how to do isos though
[08:33] <LJHarb> nick, there was nothing about a screen password in man passwd
[08:33] <snoops> http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Mounting_Iso_Files for mdf you can do mount image.mdf /wheretomount -o loop=/dev/loop0
[08:33] <snoops> you can use mdf2iso if you want to convert it.. but why convert if you can just mount is easily
[08:33] <thoreauputic> true
[08:33] <rob_p> LJHarb:  Are you specifically referring to screen?  If so, there is an option for establishing password protected screen sessions using, 'acladd.'  "man screen" has tons of info... perhaps too much :-)
[08:34] <LJHarb> yes
[08:34] <LJHarb> lol k
[08:34] <NickGarvey> LJHarb: what do you mean "screen passwaord"
[08:34] <LJHarb> can it be summarized?
[08:34] <NickGarvey> okie
[08:34] <LJHarb> ok to rephrase, i want a way to share a screen with another user so that they can watch me perform tasks, without knowing their unix password
[08:35] <rob_p> LJHarb:  I use screen on my headless server but I never bother with password protecting the detached screens simply because I'm the only one that logs into the server.
[08:35] <LJHarb> hm
[08:35] <pinky> snoops: That method of mounting didn't work for me.
[08:35] <LJHarb> rob: how can i connect to a detached screen of a diff user tho?
[08:35] <rob_p> LJHarb:  One sec...
[08:35] <LJHarb> thanks
[08:36] <rob_p> LJHarb:  screen -r sessionowner/[[pid.] tty[.host] ]
[08:36] <NickGarvey> LJHarb: be sure to type out the entire name, rob- is a different user
[08:36] <NickGarvey> LJHarb: (I put the - so he wouldn't get a beep)
[08:36] <NickGarvey> but he might have anyway
[08:36] <LJHarb> nick, thanks
[08:36] <LJHarb> rob_p: lemme try that
[08:37] <rob_p> LJHarb:  So is suppose that, 'screen -r <username>' should re-attach to the default screen initiated by that user.
[08:37] <LJHarb> hm k
[08:37] <rob_p> LJHarb:  I meant, "So I suppose..." but you get the picture  :-)
[08:38] <rob_p> LJHarb:  Very late... very tired!
[08:38] <OsirisX11> Gnome Panel/Window List Question: Why is it sometimes the panel buttons on the window list on the bottom are fully exapanded, other times they are crunched next to each other, even when there is plenty of space? How can I tell it to use all the space it can so it cuts off as little text as possible?
[08:39] <snoops> pinky what are you typing and what errror?
[08:39] <rob_p> LJHarb:  If the user has more than one screen detached, then I believe it will re-attach to the first one.  If you want a specific one, you'd need to specify the tty, I think.
[08:39] <pinky> snoops: # mount YDKJ4.mdf /mnt/iso/ -o loop=/dev/loop0
[08:39] <pinky> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[08:39] <LJHarb> rob_p: i think its working... but the other user had to explicitly give me privs to do it, turning on multiuser mode or something
[08:39] <pinky> I tried -t iso9660 AND -t udf
[08:39] <sniff_> anybody have wireless driver cnusb-611 for linux?
[08:40] <pinky> Neither worked
[08:40] <rob_p> LJHarb:  Hmm, well, like I said,  I haven't done much in the way of multi-user screen sessions, etc.
[08:40] <LJHarb> thanks :-)
[08:40] <pinky> The plot thickens: # mdf2iso YDKJ4.mdf
[08:40] <pinky> Unknown format for YDKJ4.mdf.
[08:40] <rob_p> LJHarb:  welcome
[08:40] <rob_p> :-)
[08:40] <snoops> hmm in ubuntu forums etc people say you can just do mount imagename.mdf /directory/name -o loop
[08:41] <thoreauputic> pinky: if you covert to iso that error will go away :)
[08:41] <thoreauputic> *convert
[08:41] <Lilandra> bye
[08:41] <pinky> thoreauputic: But didn't you see?  I tried to convert...
[08:41] <snoops> is it possible that mdf is corrupt?
[08:41] <thoreauputic> pinky: you used mdf2iso ? No I must have missed that
[08:42] <snoops> mdf2iso apparently has big issues with large mdf files
[08:42] <pinky> snoops: Yeah, probably, got it off Bit Torrent. I own the game, (so it's legal for me to dl), but the discs are too scratched.
[08:42] <pinky> It's not large, and that's what scares me.  It's a 2CD game, yet the torrent only had 1 MDF file that was ~250MB
[08:43] <pinky> bah
[08:43] <snoops> that sounds very dodgy to me
[08:43] <snoops> mdf's tend to me the full cd size +
[08:44] <snoops> which game?
[08:44] <thoreauputic> probably a bad file. What does " file nameof file.mdf" say?
[08:44] <ymlu> mdf isn't corrupt, use winiso under wine
[08:44] <thoreauputic> umm drop the space in that...
[08:44] <snoops> I wonder if you could use alcohol 120% under wine
[08:45] <[b] urk> isn't there some linux program that lets you mount those files?
[08:45] <ymlu> convert mdf > .iso but it work well only under wine
[08:47] <PhilsenAsk> Hellox
[08:47] <snoops> maybe it's wanting the mds which also should have been created with the file
[08:47] <PhilsenAsk> hello, i hava a problem with Knoppix
[08:48] <fyrestrtr> this is the ubuntu support channel PhilsenAsk, try #knoppix
[08:48] <PhilsenAsk> yes i know
[08:48] <PhilsenAsk> but i need help
[08:48] <PhilsenAsk> please help me
[08:48] <fyrestrtr> ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:48] <PhilsenAsk> thanks!
[08:48] <ompaul> fyrestrtr, or ##anything
[08:49] <fyrestrtr> hey ompaul :)
[08:49] <ompaul> if it is not ubuntu based :)
[08:49] <Shinzetsu> can I pgup in a console?
[08:49] <cafuego> PhilsenAsk: We can't help you, as we don't use the same software you do.
[08:49] <Flannel> Shinzetsu: shift-pageup
[08:49] <ompaul> morninks fyrestrtr
[08:49] <Shinzetsu> Flannel: cheers
[08:49] <fyrestrtr> morninks indeed.
[08:49] <cafuego> Shinzetsu: Note that will not work after you've switched terminals.
[08:50] <fyrestrtr> or if you have framebuffer
[08:50] <fyrestrtr> well, it won't go as far up
[08:50] <[b] urk> pinky, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion
[08:51] <PhilsenAsk> i use kubuntu but i musst work in my job with knoppix at the moment
[08:51] <Flannel> PhilsenAsk: right, but we can help really well with ubuntu, but none of us necessarily use knoppix, #knoppix however, is full of people knowledgable in knoppix
[08:51] <ompaul> he's gone to that place
[08:53] <rob_p> g'nite all...
[09:01] <ubuntu__> are there any firewalls included in ubuntu
[09:01] <nikon> Hi, has anyone come across synaptic only loading into memory and not running properly?
[09:01] <geniusdot> who can tell me why ubuntu run in my lap-top so slow(hp nx6125 sempron3100+)
[09:02] <nikon> coz its an amd :P lol
[09:02] <ucordes> feck pentium
[09:02] <ucordes> lol
[09:02] <Flannel> !tell ubuntu__ about firestarter
[09:02] <nikon> pfft x86 owns u
[09:03] <ompaul> ubuntu__, firestarter, and you don't need it unless you start services and want to configure a firewall around them - i.e. this is not the same as a very vunerable piece of software
[09:03] <nikon> so has anyone had synaptic just die on them in dapper
[09:03] <nikon> loads into memory and thats it
[09:03] <nikon> cleared my apt cache
[09:03] <[b] urk> use aptitude instead
[09:04] <nikon> ok
[09:04] <nikon> but i wana use synaptic
[09:04] <shay> hi
[09:04] <ompaul> nikon, never had that happen, before you do anything else do this on in a terminal, sudo apt-get update then try synaptic
[09:04] <ucordes> it is just because you are working with a pentium+
[09:04] <[b] urk> aptitude is better, it is kinder to your package database
[09:04] <nikon> yer
[09:05] <nikon> i did that ompaul and now im doing the upgrade
[09:05] <nikon> of patches etc
[09:05] <nikon> see what happens
[09:05] <nikon> is aptitude better?
[09:05] <[b] urk> have you tried starting it from terminal to see if there are any error messages?
[09:05] <shay> whois somegeek_
[09:05] <shay> woops
[09:05] <nikon> no [b] urk i will try that
[09:06] <[b] urk> sudo synaptic
[09:06] <nikon> yeah im not that n00b
[09:06] <Flannel> gksudo
[09:06] <ompaul> nikon, please do not use the word n00b it is not very inclusive there was a day when you did not know what you know now :)
[09:07] <nikon> lol nps
[09:08] <nikon> thanks ompaul and [b] urk
[09:08] <ompaul> nikon, it is back to where you want?
[09:08] <[b] urk> did it work?
[09:08] <nikon> still doin updates
[09:09] <nikon> will let u know
[09:09] <ompaul> nikon, that is good
[09:09] <rast4> ok who's a Samba guru :( I can't get it to work and I've read step-by-steps, docs, manuals, etc
[09:09] <rast4> still a no go
[09:09] <ompaul> !samba > rast4
[09:09] <rast4> I have that link
[09:09] <nikon> places > connect to server
[09:09] <rast4> that's what I was referring to
[09:09] <ompaul> well I got a config file to work from there for me
[09:10] <ompaul> I just copied it and did not care after that
[09:10] <rast4> I appreciate that though, but I can't get it to work after reading the latter link
[09:10] <KenSentMe> rast4: what does not work?
[09:10] <noiesmo> rast4, could it be firewall
[09:10] <Ackeubu_> hey, when i boot up ubuntu it defaults on a viewer on F8, where there are no loggin window, I have to do ctrl+alt+F7 to get to the loggin window. Can I change this somehow so I get to F7 by default?
[09:10] <rast4> well I edited the inetd.conf
[09:10] <rast4> it's set to port 901 for Swat
[09:11] <rast4> I edited samba.conf, set (what I think is right) the options it needs
[09:11] <rast4> still can't use Swat
[09:11] <rast4> which i want to use because it will make this a whole lot easier
[09:11] <LJHarb> how do i edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to force the server to always grab a specific ip from the router?
[09:11] <rast4> I downloaded both with Synaptic
[09:11] <KenSentMe> rast4: i've read that swat needs a lot of config, but first you need samba to work properly
[09:11] <rast4> so it shows both are installed
[09:11] <shriphani> guys i got a sound problem
[09:11] <rast4> I'm unsure if it is working properly at this point
[09:11] <rast4> :(
[09:12] <noiesmo> rast4, do you have ports 137-139 and 445 open
[09:12] <KenSentMe> rast4: can you connect to it from another computer?
[09:12] <shriphani> my xmms and everything else work but skype says problem with sound device
[09:12] <rast4> I have windows boxes all around me and this ubuntu laptop, I'm also installing ubuntu on another laptop as we speak
[09:12] <rast4> so I have no linux box to play with in order to connect to see if it's working
[09:12] <rast4> I have the firewall that is with ubuntu
[09:13] <Ackeubu_> how do I run the app that allows me to change keyboard language from the keyboard?
[09:13] <marshall_> hey guys
[09:13] <rast4> is there a chance I need to manually open the netbios ports?
[09:13] <marshall_> does anybody know a good webcam app?
[09:13] <noiesmo> rast4, you could install firestarter and then set up your firewall for smb
[09:13] <LJHarb> netbios isnt routable rast4
[09:13] <IRCMonkeyX> hi, could someone describe me simply what ip masqerade is,  i read some articles, but i cant get the point exactly
[09:13] <marshall_> id like to record a video
[09:13] <rast4> that is what I have noiesmo
[09:13] <LJHarb> you can open any ports you want, netbios will never go thru a router
[09:13] <KenSentMe> rast4: first try to connect from the windows machines
[09:13] <noiesmo> rast4 ok
[09:14] <rast4> it doesn't find it in workgroup
[09:14] <rast4> the ubuntu box
[09:14] <kleedrac> I'm trying to get suspend2 working from the instructions http://dagobah.ucc.asn.au/dapper-kernels/ but it doesn't say how to add the resume2 part to the grub menu.lst and the new kernel doesn't support my wifi card, can anyone help with this?
[09:14] <rast4> and on a manual connect either
[09:14] <KenSentMe> rast4: have you set the same workgroup as the windows machines
[09:14] <LJHarb> can anyone help with dhcp?
[09:14] <shriphani> guys can anyone help me ?
[09:14] <IRCMonkeyX> !ip masq
[09:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ip masq - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:14] <LJHarb> "how do i edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to force the server to always grab a specific ip from the router?"

[09:14] <KenSentMe> rast4: is samba started 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba start'
[09:14] <rast4> KenSentMe: yes
[09:14] <kleedrac> !suspend2
[09:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:14] <LJHarb> !dhcp
[09:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dhcp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:15] <LJHarb> bah.
[09:15] <noiesmo> rast4, I remember reding of an issue with firewall and samba even though ports were open maybe try stop firewall temp with firestarter then try smb etc
[09:15] <noiesmo> */reding/reading
[09:15] <KenSentMe> rast4: check this page for more about installing swat http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=58434
[09:15] <rast4> I'm restarting samba
[09:15] <KenSentMe> rast4: first make sure samba works and then worry about swat
[09:16] <rast4> yes that is what I need to do
[09:16] <rast4> ok I got an OK on Samba start
[09:16] <KenSentMe> rast4: now try one of your windows pc's
[09:16] <rast4> ok here goes
[09:17] <rast4> I forgot what I named this computer now
[09:17] <rast4> is there a way to determine what I named it
[09:17] <rast4> because it *might* be showing up in the workgroup, but no access
[09:17] <rast4> that would be progress IMO
[09:17] <KenSentMe> rast4: type hostname
[09:18] <rast4> sweet
[09:18] <rast4> ok I can see it
[09:18] <rast4> from a windows machine in my workgroup
[09:18] <rast4> but access denied
[09:18] <KenSentMe> rast4: nice, that means samba is running and working in some way
[09:18] <rast4> that's progress! woot!
[09:18] <rast4> now what though :(
[09:18] <noiesmo> rast4, you need a smbuser and a smbpasswd
[09:19] <rast4> isn't that with smbpasswd -a <username>
[09:19] <marshall_> does anybody know a good webcam app?
[09:19] <noiesmo> Raskall,  smbpasswd
[09:19] <KenSentMe> noiesmo: hey, i was typing that ;)
[09:19] <marshall_> id like to record a video
[09:19] <noiesmo> KenSentMe, too slow ;)
[09:19] <rast4> hehe
[09:19] <KenSentMe> noiesmo: i know
[09:19] <noiesmo> hehe
[09:19] <rast4> you both are mad helpful, regardless ;
[09:19] <rast4> )
[09:20] <rast4> so smbpasswd -a username?
[09:20] <KenSentMe> marshall_: check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[09:20] <marshall_> KenSentMe:  ok
[09:20] <noiesmo> smbpasswd -a -U username -p
[09:20] <KenSentMe> rast4: i think with windows clients it's best to have the same username and password as the windows user that is connecting
[09:20] <rast4> that's what I was just typing, if i should keep them the same
[09:21] <rast4> seems I'm too slow too ;)
[09:21] <rast4> to*
[09:21] <KenSentMe> rast4: it's too
[09:21] <noiesmo> KenSentMe, rast4 doesnt really matter windows you can store username and password on first connect
[09:22] <KenSentMe> rast4: but i remember that that doesn't work all the time. I had problems with connect windows users and i only managed to get it running by using the exact user and pass
[09:22] <rast4> it's also 3:20am, so forgive my grammatical errors
[09:22] <rast4> well let me try to keep it simple and try the same user and pass as the windows network
[09:23] <KenSentMe> noiesmo: that was a reaction for you btw
[09:23] <rast4> ok on that command, it gave me the options list
[09:23] <noiesmo> rast4 smbpassswd -a -U testuser
[09:23] <rast4> so one of those flags are wrong
[09:23] <rast4> ok
[09:23] <rast4> yeah the -p wasn't happy
[09:23] <noiesmo> rast4, no soz about that
[09:24] <rast4> not a problem at all
[09:24] <Hadrion> who wants to help the n00b? ;)
[09:24] <rast4> I'm just grateful for the help
[09:24] <noiesmo> if you add -p it needs the password instead of prompt
[09:24] <VisezTrance> i need to run two commands during boot (alsactl restore and another line to mount a smb share), where do i put the lines? i'dd put them in /etc/init.d/rc.local but i see the file has a script inside. i knew it should be blank.. ?
[09:24] <noiesmo> VisezTrance, rc.local
[09:24] <KenSentMe> Hadrion: just ask your question
[09:24] <rast4> I need to sudo su to do this?
[09:24] <noiesmo> rast4, yes
[09:24] <rast4> k
[09:24] <KenSentMe> rast4: use sudo smbpasswd etc.
[09:24] <VisezTrance> oky i'll put them at the end of the script then
[09:24] <Hadrion> anyone available to help me get ubuntu running like I'd like it to? I got my NTFS partitions working, but I'm curious about multiple-monitor/display adaptor stuff
[09:25] <noiesmo> yes VisezTrance
[09:25] <VisezTrance> danke
[09:25] <rast4> ok so now that I've created it, I should be able to use those credentials from the windos machine to connect to this laptop right?
[09:26] <rast4> windows*
[09:26] <noiesmo> yep
[09:26] <rast4> ok here goes
[09:26] <KenSentMe> rast4: first maybe you should restart samba 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart'
[09:26] <rast4> not even a credential box for user/pass
[09:26] <rast4> good thinkiong
[09:26] <rast4> thinking*
[09:27] <rast4> got two ok's
[09:27] <shriphani> guys i need assistance
[09:27] <noiesmo> rast4, you will need to make sure you set permissions for the user so they can read/write etc
[09:27] <noiesmo> check smb.conf for example
[09:27] <rast4> don't think I did, it says "network path not found"
[09:27] <Hadrion> is multi-monitor/displa adaptor stuff ven possible?
[09:27] <KenSentMe> shriphani: just ask your question
[09:27] <rast4> so it's not letting me on, but it's showing in the workgroup
[09:27] <rast4> still
[09:28] <KenSentMe> Hadrion: i think it is, i'm looking for a wiki page on the subject
[09:28] <shriphani> KenSentMe, sound related problems
[09:28] <Hadrion> thanks Ken

[09:30] <vexer> hi
[09:30] <shriphani> KenSentMe, can you help me ?
[09:31] <KenSentMe> shriphani: no, sorry. I don't know much about sound problems
[09:31] <TheoMurpse> I have an Averatec laptop with a Broadcom wireless chip on the mobo. When I boot up off the LiveCD I have no connectivity, and when I go to Networking in the Ubuntu Gnome menu and enable it (interface ra0), my computer freezes hard. Also, if I sudo and ifconfig ra0 up, the same thing happens. I have to do a complete reboot by holding down the power button to get unfrozen. How can I fix this problem? I have no other way of using the internet except
[09:31] <TheoMurpse> for wireless. This works in Gentoo (my current OS) and Windows XP, so it's not a hardware issue.
[09:31] <TheoMurpse> I'm using v 6.06
[09:31] <rast4_> so is the folder [MUSIC]  local or a network drive?
[09:31] <rast4_> in that example
[09:31] <shriphani> aww ummm
[09:32] <shriphani> VisezTrance, !!!
[09:32] <noiesmo> rast4, thats from smb.conf its a network share on debian box
[09:32] <shriphani> help !!
[09:32] <VisezTrance> hello shriphani
[09:32] <shriphani> i got sound problems
[09:32] <VisezTrance> small world
[09:32] <rast4_> so in essence, it should work the same on a windows folder?

[09:33] <shriphani> VisezTrance, can you help ?
[09:33] <VisezTrance> i too had sound problems, had to recompile alsa, sounds working cool, but i have run alsactl restore each time. i guess i have to create a asound.rc file..
[09:33] <noiesmo> rast4, have debianbox running samba it has a folder called NEW_MP3 it is browsable and only mnm and anita can write music to it anita uses windows
[09:33] <shriphani> recompile alsa as in ?
[09:34] <shriphani> kick it off and put it back on ?
[09:34] <rast4_> gotcha
[09:34] <rast4_> let me play with the smb.conf and see what I come up with. I appreciate the help form you and Kent. I'll hang out and toss a question if I get in a jam.
[09:34] <VisezTrance> as in recompile alsa.. downloaded gcc, kernel headers and the alsa source and follow the instructions from alsa-projects for my sound card
[09:35] <rast4_> KenSent rather, not Kent* soz
[09:35] <shriphani> VisezTrance, how can i kick alsa off ?
[09:35] <noiesmo> rast4, hers extra only mnm can browse and only mnm can write http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20740
[09:35] <VisezTrance> what sound problem are you experiencing ? you should reinstall alsa only as a last resort
[09:35] <jan_> hi, i have downloaded the new ubuntu image, which program (breezy?) can i use to burn it so it is installable? thanks
[09:36] <shriphani> VisezTrance, nothing sound related works
[09:36] <shriphani> xmms, skype nothing
[09:36] <shriphani> skype says problem with sound device
[09:36] <rast4_> are those just extra parameters? In the first example, those weren't passed to it, does it need explicit parameters like in the second example?
[09:36] <noiesmo> shriphani, was it working did it stop after upgrade
[09:36] <shriphani> noiesmo, it was working
[09:37] <noiesmo> shriphani, did it stop after upgrade
[09:37] <shriphani> and after a song it stopped
[09:37] <shriphani> nupe not afterpgrade

[09:55] <HeXiOn> hello. Is there a way to change the scroll speed of the mouse? (xbindkeys doen't work for that, I have configured all other buttons)
[09:56] <cafuego> TheoMurpse: To the best of my knowledge, the ralink driver won't work with broadcom chips.
[09:56] <rast4> I'm a damn genius!
[09:57] <cafuego> TheoMurpse: What does 'lspci' have to say about your wifi card?
[09:57] <rast4> to get swat to work, you have to log in with a root password, so I had to do a sudo passwd
[09:57] <rast4> skibbity boo!
[09:57] <cafuego> Well, fine then :-P
[09:57] <FirstStrike> hey guys
[09:58] <harry> how do i print a sheet at office calc? i have many sheets but everytime i click the print. it prints all the sheets
[09:58] <FirstStrike> i'm having some uh..issues with mounting my windows drive. i've tried everything i can think of to no avail.
[09:59] <Kamping_Kaiser> FirstStrike, what sort of partition?
[09:59] <FirstStrike> ntfs. two drives (one ubuntu, one windows xp)
[10:00] <FirstStrike> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=237311  <- see there for everything i've tried so far.
[10:00] <Kamping_Kaiser> FirstStrike, what have you tried?
[10:00] <Kamping_Kaiser> oh, loading :)
[10:00] <TheoMurpse> cafuego I meant to say that I have a ralink card, not broadcom. Wrong computer. ralink 2500 802.11b cardbus reference card rev 01 is what lspci says.
[10:00] <FirstStrike> this is my last resort..i've google searched, read how-to's and looked everywhere.
[10:00] <FirstStrike> first time i've had an issue with mounting.
[10:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> FirstStrike, are you sure the partitions healthy? (can you boot windows?)
[10:01] <harry> FirstStrike: what. do you want to mount your windows partition NTFS to ubuntu. ???
[10:01] <FirstStrike> yes, i can boot into windows.
[10:01] <FirstStrike> harry: uh yes
[10:01] <cafuego> TheoMurpse: Ah ok... can't help you with one of those. Did you check the wiki?
[10:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> FirstStrike, try: /dev/hda1 /media/windows ntfs umask=0222 0 0
[10:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> and `mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hda1 /media/windows`
[10:02] <harry> FirstStrike: i forgot how to. someone just helped me. they gave me a command to download and install the script from terminal. and then you mount your windows partition
[10:03] <Kamping_Kaiser> FirstStrike, sorry, that should have been `sudo mount`
[10:03] <TheoMurpse> cafuego: There is no wiki page for Ralink drivers. I checked. I just get a page saying that it doesn't exist, even when I follow links to the supposed page from within the Wiki elsewhere.
[10:03] <Brokenstein> hi
[10:03] <Kamping_Kaiser> hi
[10:03] <harry> FirstStrike: before the sudo mount works. you have to install some sort of script.
[10:03] <TheoMurpse> It seems that no one else has a solution on the forums, either. Lots of Averatec users having that problem, and the only solution has been to get stuff off the internet with apt-get, but as I said earlier, this is the only method of connectivity I have (wireless), and it doesn't work.
[10:03] <cafuego> TheoMurpse: Well, I know for a fact there are ralink drivers in the dapper kernel... hmmm.
[10:03] <Kamping_Kaiser> harry, no, you dont
[10:04] <TheoMurpse> cafuego: yes, and the drivers even load. It's just when I try to enable my interface, freezes.
[10:04] <Kamping_Kaiser> cafuego, they are too unstable for my card to work
[10:04] <cafuego> TheoMurpse: is ndiswrapper loaded at all?
[10:04] <Kamping_Kaiser> i need a -17 kernel to work
[10:04] <TheoMurpse> lsmod lists ra0
[10:04] <Madpilot> Has anyone ever had gmail insisting that "Your browser's cookie functionality is turned off." when you *know* you're accepting cookies?
[10:04] <cafuego> Kamping_Kaiser: dunno... mrvk8 sure it, as I found out today :-/
[10:04] <Brokenstein> i want to change from 386 to 686 kernel can anyone point me in the right direction?
[10:04] <TheoMurpse> i mean, lsmod lists the rt2x00 driver or the 2500 driver, both work.
[10:04] <FirstStrike> i compiled 2.6.17-7 earlier this afternoon..it's working ok so far
[10:05] <harry> Kamping_Kaiser: i dont get it. trying to mount ntfs without installing something. ask Seveas. i think he's the who helped me with it
[10:05] <TheoMurpse> cafuego: ndiswrapper I don't even think comes on dapper. I tried to find it earlier to use it, but couldn't.
[10:05] <Kamping_Kaiser> Brokenstein, install 'linux-image-686', or 'linux-686' if you want binary drivers
[10:05] <cafuego> TheoMurpse: You'd need to install ndiswrapper-utils perhaps, the kernel does come with inbuilt support for it.
[10:05] <TheoMurpse> cafuego: lsmod | grep ndis lists nothing.
[10:05] <cafuego> ok
[10:05] <TheoMurpse> cafuego: how would I install ndiswrapper-utils without a network connection?
[10:05] <harry> FirstStrike: have you mounted it already?
[10:05] <Kamping_Kaiser> harry, there is an auto setup script, its not required
[10:05] <harry> Kampig_Kaiser: on dapper??
[10:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> harry, iirc the bot has a link
[10:06] <FirstStrike> mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hda1 /media/window
[10:06] <FirstStrike> er
[10:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> if you want ntfs-g3 its a bit different
[10:06] <FirstStrike> mount: /dev/hda1 already mounted or /media/windows busy
[10:06] <FirstStrike> no matter what i do it spits that back out at me
[10:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> FirstStrike, hm. so 'mount' says what? can you pastebin for me?
[10:06] <cafuego> TheoMurpse: Fetch the package (and windows driver) from another OS.
[10:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> er, FirstStrike , hda1 is your /
[10:06] <harry> Kamping_Kaiser: see
[10:07] <FirstStrike> /dev/hdb1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[10:07] <FirstStrike> proc on /proc type proc (rw)

[10:07] <Kamping_Kaiser> sure you dont mean hdb1?
[10:07] <Kamping_Kaiser> wt?
[10:07] <FirstStrike> positive
[10:07] <Kamping_Kaiser> ok
[10:07] <Kamping_Kaiser> FirstStrike, did you run mount with sudo?
[10:08] <TheoMurpse> This is not a good start. I was switching from Gentoo to Ubuntu, because Ubuntu supposedly "just works", and it fails worse than Gentoo did for me a couple years ago when I installed it. Thanks for the help, I'll just use ndiswrapper then.
[10:08] <harry> FirstStrike: have you mounted it ?
[10:08] <FirstStrike> sudo mount
[10:08] <FirstStrike> /dev/hdb1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[10:08] <FirstStrike> proc on /proc type proc (rw)

[10:08] <Kamping_Kaiser> FirstStrike, when you paste can you put it in pastebin.ca, and give us a link? it leaves less pasteing in the channel
[10:08] <nightstalker66> hello, can i ask an xubuntu question in here?
[10:09] <Awesome-o2000> is there a "development" branch of ubuntu?
[10:09] <Kamping_Kaiser> FirstStrike, `sudo mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hda1 /media/windows`
[10:09] <FirstStrike> sorry, i don't really know about pastbin
[10:09] <Kamping_Kaiser> Awesome-o2000, yes
[10:09] <bimberi> ubotu tell nightstalker66 about edgy
[10:09] <Kamping_Kaiser> nightstalker66, yes, but #xubuntu would be better
[10:09] <Awesome-o2000> Kamping_Kaiser, what is it called and where can I find info on it?
[10:09] <bimberi> argh sorry
[10:09] <harry> give him a link
[10:09] <FirstStrike> same result Kamping_Kaiser
[10:09] <bimberi> ubotu tell Awesome-o2000 about edgy
[10:10] <FirstStrike> everything is /dev/hda1 already mounted or /media/windows busy
[10:10] <nightstalker66> i went to xubuntu room but no one responds
[10:10] <harry> FirstStrike: copy the whole error message then paste it to paste bin. to avoid flooding the message here
[10:10] <bimberi> nightstalker66: sorry, wrong nick above
[10:10] <Kamping_Kaiser> FirstStrike, hm. can you run "lsof |grep windows" ?
[10:10] <Kamping_Kaiser> nightstalker66, you can try here, but you may or may not be lucky
[10:11] <nightstalker66> all i want to know is, i had read that xubuntu review on gotux.org, i was impressed, so i;m getting it, but i heard about something called easybuntu, can i use that on xubuntu?
[10:11] <Kamping_Kaiser> nightstalker66, yes, ask about it in #easyubuntu
[10:11] <FirstStrike> Kamping_Kaiser: done but what's this 'pastebin.ca'? i haven't heard of it before.
[10:11] <FirstStrike> separate channel?
[10:11] <nightstalker66> ok, sorry, didn't mean to break any rules, thank you
[10:12] <Kamping_Kaiser> FirstStrike, go there, its a website, you paste text in and it gives you a link to give to other people
[10:12] <harry> does anyone here knows how to print only the wanted sheet on open office. spreadsheet.
[10:12] <Kamping_Kaiser> nightstalker66, NP.
[10:12] <nightstalker66> k bye
[10:12] <harry> whenever i click the print icon. it prints all the sheet.
[10:13] <LJHarb> ok i know this is prolly simple, but how do i copy the ubuntu install cd to the HD so i dont have to have it in the computer?
[10:13] <tengil> i have changed so i get all my kern.=debug into one file (i log my iptables dropped packages there) and the rest of the kern messages goes to kern.log. however when i type dmesg i get all the iptables msgs there and cant see the important info of dmesg. can anyone tell me how to fix that?
[10:14] <FirstStrike> arg
[10:14] <Kamping_Kaiser> LJHarb, you can just put the cd in the drive, and copy 'pool' to your hdd (crude method)
[10:14] <LJHarb> how do i access the cd?
[10:14] <Kamping_Kaiser> LJHarb, put it in the cd drive, it will autorun
[10:14] <FirstStrike> so, since i probably missed your response
[10:14] <FirstStrike> what's pastebin.ca?
[10:15] <Kamping_Kaiser> FirstStrike, go there, its a website, you paste text in and it gives you a link to give to other people
[10:15] <Kamping_Kaiser> !pastebin
[10:15] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[10:15] <FirstStrike> ah
[10:15] <harry> does anyone here knows how to print only the wanted sheet on open office. spreadsheet.
[10:15] <harry> whenever i click the print icon. it prints all the sheet.
[10:15] <LJHarb> kamping_kaiser: nothings autorunning
[10:15] <slon`> not sure
[10:15] <LJHarb> im on commandline, not gui
[10:15] <Kamping_Kaiser> LJHarb, do you have a cd icon on the desktop?
[10:16] <Kamping_Kaiser> LJHarb, oh, right
[10:16] <Gothi[c] > I'm having problems with certain 3d applications not working correctly,... like blender looks all messed up when i box-select something (it's as if the buffer isn't being cleared or something) and I can't select any objects, even with a simple rightclick. Some other 3d applications have the same problem. (eg: mouse clicks not being detected) (note that these programs do work fine on my other machine) Could this be a graphics driver issue? ( i recently changed
[10:16] <Gothi[c] >  video cards ) Is it resolable? Has anyone encountered something like this before?
[10:16] <harry> hey does C&C generals will run swiftly with 64mb 3D accelerator. 512ddr ram and 1.6 ghz computer specs??
[10:16] <Kamping_Kaiser> LJHarb, then run `dd if=/dev/cdrom of=ubuntuLinux.iso`, and then mount that on loopback
[10:16] <FirstStrike> Kamping_Kaiser: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20742
[10:16] <Kamping_Kaiser> Gothi[c] , what card did you change from -> to?
[10:17] <exs> Hello, Is there a faster way to run ubuntu in windows than using vmware?
[10:17] <Amaranth> harry: C&C Generals does not work on Ubuntu
[10:17] <LJHarb> kamping_kaiser: how do i mount on loopback?
[10:17] <Gothi[c] > Kamping_Kaiser:  I changed from my onboard intel i915 to a radeon X550
[10:17] <usuario> hello
[10:17] <usuario> speak spains???
[10:17] <Kamping_Kaiser> LJHarb, iirc `sudo mount -t iso -o loop ubuntuLinux.iso /mnt/`
[10:17] <Gothi[c] > i updated the xorg.conf and stuff, and direct rendering works, but i get lots of warnings about unknown device id and stuff
[10:17] <paradroid> Hi. I am looking for a software tool for (trans-)encoding  of audio-data in different formats, e. g. Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, (Lame) MP3.
[10:17] <Gothi[c] > and funky GL warnings
[10:17] <LJHarb> kamping_kaiser: and i just run that command whenever it wants the cd?
[10:18] <Kamping_Kaiser> Gothi[c] , you should download the ati drivers from apt.
[10:18] <due> paradroid: audacity is nice
[10:18] <LJHarb> usuario: que necesitas?
[10:18] <Gothi[c] > Kamping_Kaiser:  I did that before but then direct rendering just failed completely
[10:18] <bimberi> harry: Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org Calc - Print, check 'Print only selected sheets'
[10:18] <Gothi[c] > Kamping_Kaiser:  so i uninstalled them and went back to the old drivers
[10:18] <Kamping_Kaiser> LJHarb, half a minute please, i'll give proper directions
[10:18] <LJHarb> take your time, thanks

[10:19] <harry> Amaranth: even using CEdega. or crossover office?
[10:19] <hkBst> is there a way to prevent proprietary modules (which taint the kernel) from loading?
[10:19] <Kamping_Kaiser> Gothi[c] , install the new drivers, then run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg`
[10:19] <Gothi[c] > did that.
[10:19] <Amaranth> harry: I tried every trick I could find, wouldn't work.
[10:20] <paradroid> due: Well, it shouldn't be an editing software, rather a frontend for oggenc and the like. Batch processing would be very helpful.
[10:20] <Gothi[c] > i tried the xorg-driver-fglrx package which is supposed to work with my card i read somewhere, i did the dpkg-reconfigure and everything, after that failed, i tried editing xorg.conf manually, but no-go
[10:20] <harry> Amaranth: even using CEdega. or crossover office? really?
[10:20] <Amaranth> harry: Really.
[10:20] <due> paradroid: The no idea, sorry :) did you search packages.ubuntu.org?
[10:20] <harry> Amaranth: how about using the specs i posted on windows
[10:20] <Amaranth> *shrug*
[10:21] <FirstStrike> edgy is so broke right now.
[10:21] <Kamping_Kaiser> LJHarb, ok, all the steps you need are: `dd if=/dev/cdrom of=ubuntuLinuxCd.iso; sudo mv ubuntuLinuxCd.iso /home/; sudo mkdir /mnt/LoopbackCd; sudo mount  -t iso -o loop /home/UbuntuLinuxCd.iso /mnt/LoopbackCd;
[10:21] <FirstStrike> ):
[10:21] <paradroid> due: Well, I cam across http://www.eca.cx/ecasound/ which I compiled and will probably do what I am looking for. Unfortunately it's also a bit over-the-top for me.
[10:21] <Kamping_Kaiser> gl all
[10:21] <FirstStrike> cya
[10:22] <Gothi[c] > bye
[10:22] <paradroid> How does anyone here transcode e. g. Ogg Vorbis files into MP3 for their portable player?
[10:22] <Gothi[c] > damn ati crap, i should have gone with nvidia, but they didn't have any in stock
[10:22] <LJHarb> and kamping_kaiser, thats a permanent loopback mount?
[10:22] <FirstStrike> haven't had any problems with nvidia in the last 5 years
[10:22] <cuerpis> carmina y ven???
[10:22] <Kamping_Kaiser> LJHarb, no, this session (boot) only
[10:22] <Gothi[c] > yeah, my other box is nvidia,... works like a charm
[10:22] <Kamping_Kaiser> *gone*
[10:23] <carmenaguilera> hello boys
[10:23] <FirstStrike> now that AMD has merged with ATI perhaps their drivers will finally improve
[10:23] <harry> thanks bimberi
[10:23] <LJHarb> so kamping_kaiser, if i add it to .bashrc, ill always have the cd available?
[10:23] <Gothi[c] > that's good news, i didn't hear about that yet
[10:23] <FirstStrike> AMD bought them out
[10:23] <paradroid> FirstStrike: First statements of AMD don't sound too good...
[10:23] <FirstStrike> well, only the future can tell
[10:23] <carmenaguilera> hello
[10:23] <FirstStrike> i know they're doing away with the ATI name
[10:24] <hkBst> is there a way to prevent proprietary modules (which taint the kernel) from loading? I need to prevent ltmodem from loading.
[10:24] <yum> Hello all, if I start a program with sudo (sudo gedit) do I have root privileges the whole time the programm is open or is the time limited?
[10:24] <nahoj> do I have anything to win by compiling my own kernel?
[10:24] <FirstStrike> the whole time it's open
[10:24] <Gothi[c] > but damn,.. like just running glxgears pops up a whole screen of warnings
[10:24] <hkBst> nahoj: knowledge and speed :)
[10:24] <yum> thx, I read somewhere its only for 15 minutes
[10:24] <FirstStrike> i compiled 2.6.17-7 tonight..it's much faster than 2.6.15
[10:24] <nahoj> hkBst, by how much will the speed increase?
[10:25] <jing> i have a problem with /etc/sudoers, i want edit it, so i change the permission of this file to 750, and if i run sudo, i get  sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0750, should be 0440, how can solve it? thanks
[10:25] <aliasfred> yum, nope it is the whole time
[10:25] <FirstStrike> it boots about twice as fast
[10:25] <FirstStrike> and runs noticeably quicker
[10:25] <Gothi[c] > "Unknown device ID 5B63, please report. Assuming plain R300." <- that must be the problem, it's an X550, not an R300
[10:25] <nahoj> oh..
[10:25] <Locke> nope
[10:25] <thoreauputic> hkBst: put the modules in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist IIRC
[10:25] <carmenaguilera> hola soy de espaa
[10:25] <hkBst> nahoj:what FirstStrike said.
[10:25] <aliasfred> yum, the time limitation is likely about the kdesu/gnomesu caching it to avoid you retying it
[10:25] <cuerpis> y yo tambien!!!
[10:26] <LJHarb> !es
[10:26] <nahoj> but, I'm not that good with linux, is it very hard?

[10:26] <hkBst> thoreauputic: thanks. I'll check it out. What about when booting from livecd?
[10:26] <FirstStrike> there's a guide on the 2nd page of the how-to forum that walks you through getting adn compiling the kernel
[10:26] <FirstStrike> it's cake
[10:26] <FirstStrike> make sure you read though..there's a bit of into around page 11 that you will need otherwise it won't compile.
[10:26] <AAA> will you kick me plz
[10:26] <cuerpis> ah q rico
[10:27] <hkBst> nahoj: only the first time ;)
[10:27] <AAA> I am too drunk to use  linux
[10:27] <cuerpis> y la ultima
[10:27] <Gothi[c] > i guess i'm gonna go hunt the net a bit more to try and get that new ati driver to work :( there ain't much out there

[10:27] <AAA>  chownn          -r
[10:27] <thoreauputic> hkBst: there's a toorent - it's an RMS friendly live CD :)

[10:28] <nahoj> FirstStrike, are you talkning about this guide? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217657

[10:28] <carmenaguilera> holaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[10:29] <AAA> hola
[10:29] <RamiKassab> hey guys, I just installed apache2 using apt-get on my laptop here for local development. the default web directory is located at /var/www but I cannot create files in it because the folder is owned by root. Is it ok for me just make it writeable by all users so that I can make files in it through my user account or is there a better way of going about this? Thanks guys!
[10:29] <FirstStrike> it's pretty much just copy and paste into a terminal the whole time
[10:29] <AAA> wanna break yer box?
[10:29] <thoreauputic> hkBst: if you want a taint-free live CD that's the one - I'm seeding it with about 6 others
[10:29] <nahoj> FirstStrike, ok, chicking it out...
[10:29] <FirstStrike> if you follow that guide 100% it won't break your box
[10:29] <carmenaguilera> hola AAA
[10:29] <AAA> I can tell you hoow to break our ubuntu?
[10:30] <jenda> Could somebody recommend a way to play media from a "rtsp://" URL?
[10:30] <AAA> jenda  mplayer
[10:30] <FirstStrike> nahoj: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1308736&postcount=106 <- you'll need the info from this post too when you're editing the kernel settings
[10:30] <carmenaguilera> yes

[10:30] <cuerpis> dejala a la chavala
[10:30] <nahoj> FirstStrike, ahh.. wonderful!
[10:30] <RamiKassab> guys? any help?
[10:31] <AAA> plz don;t lisstenn to  me. beer is ecess
[10:31] <hkBst> thoreauputic: thanks, i'll certainly give it a try. What's the popular distro it's based on?
[10:31] <nahoj> FirstStrike, i guess i stick around here if I have any simple questions... =)
[10:31] <AAA> and I have stuck keyss
[10:31] <thoreauputic> hkBst: Ubuntu of course :)
[10:31] <FirstStrike> well, permissions are always an issue RamiKassab especially when dealing with the web.
[10:31] <thoreauputic> hkBst: it's actually Ubuntu without the restricted bits and including emacs ;-)
[10:32] <FirstStrike> but if you aren't going to publish anything with it and aren't too paranoid about permissions then that's fine.
[10:32] <thoreauputic> hkBst: I aaume emacs is to keep Richard happy ;-)
[10:32] <thoreauputic> *assume
[10:32] <AAA> jenda  mplayer  is the best over all media player for linuxx
[10:32] <FirstStrike> nahoj: sure thing.
[10:32] <slack^Jam> mplayer is the best for a variety of os's
[10:33] <RamiKassab> FirstStrike: well this installation is just for local development, I dont want to have to do my web work as root in order to write files to the www directory
[10:33] <FirstStrike> i like vlc too
[10:33] <slack^Jam> even amiga uses it
[10:33] <AAA> mmplayer uber alles
[10:33] <RamiKassab> FirstStrike: how can I make it so that I can modify the www folder using my own account?
[10:33] <nahoj> FirstStrike, I haven't got my sound to work before on this laptop, is there anything I can do about that while compiling the kernel?
[10:33] <Pensacola> vlc can play a lot of files too
[10:33] <FirstStrike> RamiKassab: use the chown command
[10:33] <AAA> two m's even
[10:33] <hkBst> thoreauputic: great 8^]  why the secrecy though? Also google and wikipedia don't know anything about it. How often does that happen!!!
[10:34] <thoreauputic> hkBst: ah, I asume that's you in the torrent now
[10:34] <slack^Jam> who uses a ub-64 version with an Ati gr.card?
[10:34] <jenda> AAA: agreed, and it worked.
[10:34] <thoreauputic> hkBst: heh - I only found out about it a few days ago
[10:34] <RamiKassab> FirstStrike: I understand that but is it ok for me just to make that folder writable by everyone?
[10:34] <hkBst> thoreauputic: yep :) going 350KB/s which is as much as my adsl can handle :)
[10:34] <thoreauputic> hkBst: it's veryu early days, that's all - please help with the seeding :)
[10:34] <slack^Jam> thaaanx
[10:34] <FirstStrike> RamiKassab: it won't hurt anything on the system, no.
[10:34] <AAA> jenda  w00
[10:34] <thoreauputic> hkBst: cool - most of that is coming from here then :)
[10:35] <maribel> bye boys
[10:35] <FirstStrike> nahoj: there's a lot of options you can edit while compiling a kernel. many related to sound.
[10:35] <jenda> AAA: thx for the tip ;)
[10:35] <FirstStrike> so you can try tweaking it.
[10:35] <RamiKassab> FirstStrike: ok... in ubuntu, the primary user, is he part of the same group as root?
[10:35] <thoreauputic> hkBst: ah , sorry - about a tenth from here - I misread :)
[10:35] <FirstStrike> no
[10:35] <AAA> jenda  don't mind me, I am blacked  out durnk :)
[10:35] <FirstStrike> the primary user in ubuntu is in its own group
[10:35] <FirstStrike> i.e. "Bob" is in group "Bob"
[10:35] <nahoj> FirstStrike, so the thing I can do is to "check" everything sound-related??
[10:36] <FirstStrike> no no
[10:36] <AAA> that is a debian policey
[10:36] <FirstStrike> for certain hardware you're going to need different configurations
[10:36] <hkBst> thoreauputic: seeding, sure. that just means leaving ktorrent open right?
[10:36] <jenda> AAA: Please offer more support in #ubuntu in such a state, it is a great contribution to the community ;) </ot>
[10:36] <thoreauputic> hkBst: yep
[10:36] <FirstStrike> unfortunetly, i'm not an expert at it. most of the default settings work perfect for me so i've had no issues.
[10:36] <nahoj> FirstStrike, hmm.. guess I will have to trust in google on this one
[10:36] <jan_> !partition
[10:36] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[10:36] <AAA> jenda  hehe, I have been here for a bit
[10:36] <FirstStrike> you'd need to talk to some one that has more experience compiling kernels for different hardware
[10:37] <RamiKassab> FirstStrike: ok so making the www folder writable by the group instead of everyone wont work then for the primary user
[10:37] <jenda> AAA, I know :) Seen you around.
[10:37] <FirstStrike> make sure you know what sound card you've got
[10:37] <hkBst> thoreauputic: let's write a wikipedia stub about it
[10:37] <FirstStrike> that's important if people are going to help you
[10:37] <FirstStrike> (i'm assuming it's some onboard type)
[10:37] <FirstStrike> RamiKassab: yes. Bob:Bob
[10:37] <nahoj> FirstStrike, yes, is there any thing i can write in terminal to find out exactly?
[10:37] <thoreauputic> hkBst: you might want to talk to ompaul in #ubuntu-ops - I don't know much about it yet
[10:38] <AAA> think abbout security when using chown/chgrp

[10:41] <AAA> fredrin  if you are running a server (which you don't need to do) then it should sync with a know nnnnn server
[10:41] <FirstStrike> try posting on the forum and see if you can get some help for that sound card
[10:41] <AAA> fredrin  no, just ntpdate <IP_ADDRESS> or what4evever
[10:41] <RamiKassab> hey guys where is the root account's .bashrc file?

[10:42] <wheelswitch> im using lftp at the moment
[10:42] <fredrin> AAA: It does that, but if ntp-server is running, ntpdate wont run

[10:50] <thoreauputic> DARKGuy: hmm - I just dug that out of memory - I might have the filename wrong since I don't use those files
[10:51] <thoreauputic> mneptok: thanks for the clarification *G*
[10:51] <mneptok> :)
[10:51] <DARKGuy> ymlu: no idea why mine doesn't :( Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper here :/ - oh, kay thoreauputic =/
[10:51] <Wermut> What do I have to do to print dvi files from evince?
[10:51] <billfur> is dd if=/dev/sdb of=somefile and then dd if=somefile of=/dev/sdb the exact way to make a copy of a harddrive and then restore it?  (assuming you don't want to have to reinstall grub and have multiple partitions)
[10:52] <ymlu> DARKGuy: meybe permissions chmod u+r .Xdefaults?
[10:52] <ymlu> chown user .Xdef...
[10:52] <carmenaguilera> hello
[10:52] <DARKGuy> ymlu: tried that, and chmod 777 too, nothing :P
[10:52] <alexis_> hy everybody
[10:52] <DARKGuy> hi
[10:52] <mcphail> billfur: that will do it
[10:53] <carmenaguilera> hello alexis
[10:53] <Madpilot> hi carmenaguilera
[10:53] <ymlu> maybe syntax is wrong
[10:53] <carmenaguilera> hi madpilot
[10:54] <alexis_> does anyone got the postfix-ldap package to work?
[10:54] <DARKGuy> ymlu: as in, the file's contents? no way, I just got them from http://linuxreviews.org/software/x11-terms/aterm/
[10:54] <exs> Is vmware the quickest way to run ubuntu under windows?
[10:54] <maribel> hi madpilot, how are you, I like work
[10:55] <ompaul> !test
[10:55] <ubotu> Failed.
[10:55] <DARKGuy> VirtualPC too exs, qemu, boschs I think, too. Or you can just burn a LiveCD and play with that in the meanwhile
[10:55] <carmenaguilera> xao
[10:56] <jan_> hi, im installing the new ubuntu now, want to resize my partition to make /home an own partition. The mount manager names everything "sda", i thought it should be hda.... what is the difference here??

[10:56] <Juftus> Hey, folks. Is there a way to start applications so that they don't appear on taskbar? Would be nice with terminal, for example. I know of a package called devilspie, but any other way?
[10:56] <exs> DARKGuy,  booting from a liveCD would be a good option, but I am in work. What's the fastest between qemu and boschs?
[10:56] <Madpilot> jan_, your harddrive must be a SATA drive?
[10:57] <sbaird> in breezy badger what is ther a defalt firewall and if so what is it and how do i confugure it or disable it?
[10:58] <jan_> Madpilot, that could be
[10:58] <DARKGuy> exs: depends on your system, however, I've got better results with qemu, but you'll have to play around with kqemu (the accelerator thing) which installs as a "service" which you have to start using something like NET KQEMU START or something like that, and you'll get better speed. Boschs may be a tad slower, but it's just plain download, config, run
[10:58] <jan_> Madpilot, so now problem then?
[10:58] <DARKGuy> haven't used those in months though, that's all I remember :/
[10:58] <Madpilot> jan_, my only HDD is SATA, so my partitions are sda1 & sda2; the partitioner has never had a problem with it
[10:58] <FirstStrike> sbaird: as far as i know there's only plain iptables. i suggest using aptitude to install firestarter.
[10:59] <FirstStrike> it's got a gui which is easy enough to setup
[11:01] <jan_> Madpilot, ok thank.. however the partition manager in the installer is really bad i think.. cant rename my partitions, set flags or do nothing... what is wrong?
[11:02] <Madpilot> jan_, not sure, it worked for me, but I have a really, really simple setup - one drive, two partitions, no swap, nothing fancy
[11:03] <albacker> how can i convert swf to avi/mpg/ogg ?
[11:04] <jan_> Madpilot, thats what i need too, however i can only choose primary partitions in the meny.. cant make boot or nothing.. hmm
[11:04] <AAA> albacker  mencode will do that
[11:04] <albacker> AAA, how ?
[11:04] <AAA> albacker  mencoder
[11:04] <Madpilot> jan_, you should be able to, I think... although I don't even have a /boot, just / & /home
[11:04] <albacker> i mean i have file1.swf and need a file1.avi how to do that with mencoder ?
[11:04] <AAA> albacker  i don'tt have the exact cmd, but I kkknow iit will do it
[11:05] <albacker> k, thanks. im googling it.
[11:05] <AAA> albacker  you best bet :)
[11:05] <slon`> sup?
[11:06] <Inferus> Hi all, what do you do when somehow all your desktop bars have disappeared?
[11:06] <chemaja> Inferus: turn the monitor back on ;-)
[11:06] <Inferus> i can get the right click menu up
[11:07] <Inferus> but not any of the panels
[11:07] <Inferus> :P
[11:07] <chemaja> Inferus: alt-f2 and run `gnome-panel'
[11:07] <rem_> jan just take primary and name it /boot ...(u mean in the partitionning thing right?)
[11:07] <Inferus> im on xubuntu :s
[11:07] <chemaja> Inferus: panic.
[11:07] <chemaja> :P
[11:07] <Brokenstein> ok i installed new 686 kernel, how do i point system to it when i reboot?
[11:08] <Madpilot> Brokenstein, it should be used automatically
[11:08] <Madpilot> Inferus, #xubuntu
[11:08] <rem_> broke, it should have done it automatically if u did it with apt-get...otherwise edit the grub menu.lst file ..
[11:10] <BeepAU> !vmware
[11:10] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWare
[11:10] <jan_> when installing ubuntu, is the only option to start the live cd and then go to the installer? the installer chrash on me the whole time..
[11:11] <Talisker[w] > I'm trying to ditch ubuntu and switch to slacky, but cfdisk won't recognize my main [ubuuntu]  partition
[11:11] <plastic> jan_, yes thats the way..
[11:12] <Talisker[w] > Could it be that ubuntu somehow denies access from my bootdisk system?
[11:12] <BeepAU> who's familiar with vmware?
[11:12] <chemaja> BeepAU: what about it
[11:12] <plastic> BeepAU, on what?
[11:12] <thoreauputic> Talisker[w] : yeah, Ubuntu is programmed to block Slackware ( it's a conspiracy) *G*
[11:12] <BeepAU> i'm running ubuntu, but want to play a windows game, can i play it through vmware?
[11:13] <Talisker[w] > and #ubuntu is programmed to take evrything out of context
[11:13] <plastic> BeepAU, its nonsence to do that..
[11:13] <Talisker[w] > BeepAU, wine is better for that
[11:13] <plastic> BeepAU, or cedega..
[11:14] <BeepAU> i tried using wine, but it told me to change the language, i tried to fix the problem with some help from those in #winehq, but we couldn't get it working
[11:14] <BeepAU> it's only a small game written in visual basic
[11:14] <plastic> BeepAU, what game?
[11:15] <BeepAU> it's called EWRevenge, it's a text based simulator
[11:15] <chemaja> BeepAU: it should be fine for non-3d games
[11:15] <Inferus> How good is cedega
[11:16] <chemaja> BeepAU: grab vmware player or server, both are free
[11:16] <Inferus> i wish i could play on linux, but i bet theres no real good benifit to
[11:16] <plastic> BeepAU, yep text based you could try ant thro wmvare
[11:17] <BeepAU> i got vmware, but it wants a virtual machine. where do i get that?
[11:17] <BeepAU> i have vmware player, if that makes a difference.
[11:17] <plastic> Inferus, i can gave u an exeple.. CS1.6non-steam on Win i get around 70 FPS on linux with cedega around 20 FPS.. so its clear
[11:18] <Talisker[w] > BeepAU, you need to get a windows image
[11:18] <Gasten> Hi. My X can't talk to my graphic card (a nVidia). How do I solve that? Configure X in some magical way (I have tried to modify XLL.conf, both in gedit and in the wizard), or ditch nVidia and get another, new, card?
[11:18] <BeepAU> where can i get that?
[11:18] <Talisker[w] > ...It's not very legal, hence, not very stationary
[11:19] <plastic> Gasten, go to ubuntuforums.org
[11:19] <Gasten> plastic: ok.
[11:21] <OsirisX11> Mount problem- every time i log in i have to remount my hda4 partition back to /mnt/68gb... it for some reason resets itself every time i reboot to /tmp/disks-conf-hda4
[11:22] <plastic> OsirisX11, configure yuor fstab
[11:23] <OsirisX11> the disks manager doesn't do that?
 Inferus, i can gave u an exeple.. CS1.6non-steam on Win i get around 70 FPS on linux with cedega around 20 FPS.. so its clear << whats your pc's specs?
[11:23] <Inferus> in windows i get 600fps in cs1.6
[11:23] <Inferus> :>
[11:23] <plastic> OsirisX11, i like fstab more.. :)
[11:24] <plastic> Inferus, P4 1.7Ghz. nVidia geforce4 mx4000 128MB. 256MB of ram.. :D
[11:24] <OsirisX11> plastic, see that's the thing though, i use the disks manager and it sets it up fine but it losese it when ir estart
[11:25] <Inferus> ah
[11:25] <Inferus> thats why then
[11:25] <Inferus> :)
[11:25] <OsirisX11> btw gparted is the shit yo!
[11:25] <plastic> yep

[11:25] <Inferus> on wine
[11:25] <damo22> how do i reconfigure all my fonts? theyve disappeared inside x
[11:25] <Josh> hey... need help with building a computer. is there a channel for that or can i ask here?
[11:26] <plastic> OsirisX11, just config your fstab its easy. and thenge the directory of mount.. it will be permenently changed..ofcorse until your next configuring.. :)
[11:26] <thoreauputic> Josh: #hardware
[11:26] <Josh> thanks
[11:26] <thoreauputic> Josh: it exists, i just checked :)
[11:26] <plastic> Inferus, there is cs1.6 NON-STEAM version for that..
[11:28] <OsirisX11> plastic..i shouldn't have to. is this a bug in the disk manager?
[11:29] <damo22> please help with fonts, how do i reconfigure them, they dont appear in xfce configuration
[11:29] <donrosin> how do i install psybnc?
[11:29] <OsirisX11> plastic: you're giving me the typical linux response of "just" editing a conf file. i am technically capable. it just pisses me off that i would have to. there should be graphical tools to do that.
[11:30] <Herb> i better stop playing with the sudo command, or i'm gonna wreck this box on the second day of my new dual-boot life style
[11:30] <OsirisX11> Herb: so you're swinging both ways now eh? we won't tell anyone about your new lifestyle.
[11:30] <donrosin> can someone help me install psybnc? PM
[11:30] <damo22> lol
[11:31] <OsirisX11> bi-bootual
[11:31] <Herb> bi-furious
[11:31] <OsirisX11> lol
[11:31] <damo22> haha
[11:31] <OsirisX11> thats only if windows AND linux are pissing you off
[11:31] <soheil> hi room
[11:32] <OsirisX11> soheil. no. :(
[11:33] <soheil> I have to run 'pon dsl-provider'  after each reboot
[11:33] <soheil> why?
[11:33] <OsirisX11> soheil put it in your startup script perhaps?
[11:33] <soheil> what?
[11:33] <soheil> I'm a new user
[11:33] <OsirisX11> i hate having to manually edit files too soheil so there is a nice easy graphical way to do it
[11:34] <OsirisX11> under system-->preferences-->sessions
[11:34] <soheil> a newbie
[11:34] <soheil> what way?
[11:34] <OsirisX11> under the startup tab add a new entry for just what you said
[11:35] <lhds> in nautilus where is the scrips folder? and how to extrack to tar scriptfile from gscript to it?
[11:35] <soheil> what is the start-up script?
[11:35] <OsirisX11> hi lhds
[11:35] <lhds> hi osiris
[11:35] <OsirisX11> i don't know of any particual scripts folder, you can use your home directory
[11:36] <OsirisX11> make a scripts folder of your own if you like
[11:36] <lhds> nautilus supports scripts by default
[11:36] <zoidberg> hey guys
[11:36] <lhds> you can google gscripts for that
[11:36] <lhds> the problem is installing them
[11:36] <zoidberg> is there a cd burning application that comes with Ubuntu to burn ISO images?
[11:36] <OsirisX11> whenever i'm feeling noobish i can just come in here and someone will out-noob me in no time. :)
[11:37] <erUSUL> zoidberg: right click on the iso file and choose burn
[11:37] <zoidberg> whats the name of the application though?
[11:37] <OsirisX11> zoidberg: k3b, gnomebaker
[11:37] <lhds> there is this auto installer that you can add ... it lets you downloads realplayer ndivia drivers autocapslock nautilus scripts what was its name?
[11:37] <BeepAU> if i'm on a dual-boot with ubuntu and windows, can i use vmware to access the windows partition?
[11:37] <OsirisX11> lhds: Automatix
[11:37] <erUSUL> nautilus the file manager burn iso files and canmake data cd's Places>Burner
[11:38] <lhds> yeah thanc
[11:38] <OsirisX11> BeepAU: you can mount ntfs drives easily without vmware.
[11:38] <lhds> that will copy my scripts for me
[11:38] <OsirisX11> BeepAU: but..yes..you could use vmware.
[11:38] <BeepAU> OsirisX11 -- i want to play a game which doesn't run in ubuntu
[11:38] <BeepAU> how do i run it in vmware?
[11:38] <OsirisX11> BeepAU: what game?
[11:39] <BeepAU> OsirisX11 -- it's a text based simulator written in visual basic called ewr
[11:39] <OsirisX11> you can run it in wine i'm pretty sure.
[11:39] <OsirisX11> are you familiar with wine, BeepAU?
[11:40] <BeepAU> OsirisX11 -- i've tried, it tells me to change the language, i worked with some guys in the wine support channel to get it working, but still can't do it
[11:40] <OsirisX11> i would also try crossover-office
[11:40] <BeepAU> OsirisX11 -- so, how do i run my other partition in vmware?
[11:41] <OsirisX11> can't help you with vmware issues.
[11:41] <OsirisX11> talk to them or read their site.
[11:42] <mcphail> BeepAU: i don't think you can "run a partition" in vmware
[11:43] <BeepAU> mcphail -- can i access the files in my windows partition and run them in vmware somehow?
[11:43] <OsirisX11> BeepAU: yes you can it will be evident inside of vmware
[11:43] <OsirisX11> should be very simple to access your windows partition
[11:43] <Zyfo> If I do a checkinstall on a .tar.zg file I will get a .deb file. Can I move this around freely without affecting the program? What happends if I remove it? Where "should" I place it?
[11:43] <mcphail> BeepAU: think of vmware as a separate windows box
[11:44] <BeepAU> OsirisX11 -- how?
[11:44] <OsirisX11> BeepAU: see above.
[11:44] <thoreauputic> Zyfo: once it is installed you can delete the .deb if you wish
[11:44] <BeepAU> OsirisX11 -- are you sure you can't help me?
[11:44] <OsirisX11> i can. i won't.
[11:44] <thoreauputic> Zyfo: it's just the "installer"
[11:44] <BeepAU> does vmware have a support channel?
[11:44] <OsirisX11> call it an asshole answer but this is #ubuntu
[11:44] <Zyfo> thoreauputic, will I still be able to uinstall it the "checkinstall way"?
[11:45] <necrofile> I need a bit of help...
[11:45] <OsirisX11> what's up necrofile?
[11:45] <thoreauputic> Zyfo: you would uninstall it with for instance apt-get remove <packagename>
[11:45] <necrofile> Whenever I open penny-arcade (website) Firefox just closes... Not just the tab, the whole program @.@
[11:45] <thoreauputic> Zyfo: it's just like other packages in other words
[11:45] <Zyfo> thoreauputic, ok, thanks
[11:45] <thoreauputic> :) np
[11:46] <OsirisX11> necrofile: ouch man. what version of ff are you running? just the one that came with ubuntu?
[11:46] <SillyZ> BeepAU... Whats the problem your having, maybe i can help since 'others' wont
[11:46] <SillyZ> cute
[11:46] <lhds> what is ubuntu compiz's channel?
[11:46] <thoreauputic> Zyfo: I usually keep mine in a ~/debs directory in case I need to reinstall or put it on another box
[11:46] <necrofile> I am actually using SwiftFox 1.5.6 or 1.5.06... Whatever the newest version is.
[11:46] <necrofile> installed it yesterday, haven't had much time to tool around with anything yet.
[11:46] <fyrestrtr> lhds: #ubuntu-xgl
[11:46] <BeepAU> SillyZ -- i'm trying to run a small program written in visual basic in ubuntu. i've tried with wine and haven't been able to get it working.
[11:47] <Zyfo> thoreauputic, ok
[11:47] <OsirisX11> necrofile: sorry i don't know anything about SwiftFox. I can give you general advice though.. try reinstalling it? are you using a beta? if so maybe try the stable
[11:47] <SillyZ> BeepAU why not write the program in gambas for starters, and compile it nativly for linux
[11:47] <SillyZ> instead of trying to run a win32 application via wine, under linux
[11:48] <BeepAU> SillyZ -- the source code isn't availabile. does that matter?
[11:48] <SillyZ> well if you compiled it, you have the source
[11:48] <necrofile> OsirisX11: could it be caused by a flash applet on the page? Don't want to re-install if it's not necessary.
[11:48] <OsirisX11> necrofile: yes.
[11:48] <shaantanu> hey ppl I am planning to install vmware on ubuntu and boot windows in it ... what shud i download, VMware Server Windows client package or VMware Server linux client package ?
[11:48] <shaantanu> !wine

[11:50] <rupert> shaantanu: yes
[11:50] <necrofile> Why must I always have problems? XD
[11:50] <rupert> shaantanu: look about the extensions of these two files
[11:50] <mcphail> necrofile: you may have 2 windows keys - Super_L and Super_R
[11:50] <rupert> shaantanu: how do they look like ?
[11:50] <shaantanu> i already downloaded ... VMware Server for Linux.  and Management Interface
[11:51] <rupert> shaantanu: hmm
[11:51] <shaantanu> the files in quetsion both r zip files
[11:51] <necrofile> Shouldn't windows key+D show desktop?
[11:51] <rupert> shaantanu: so i am sorry
[11:51] <necrofile> Niether side works if it's still the shortcut.
[11:51] <rupert> shaantanu: the server is the app to run windows on linux
[11:51] <asfra> hi, in the new ubuntu distro, ndiswrapper is not included, only ndiswrapper-utils, is that all i need
[11:51] <shaantanu> ok
[11:52] <rupert> shaantanu: and the client is the app to configure better
[11:52] <shaantanu> what better
[11:52] <mcphail> necrofile: remap any reference to "super" to "super_l"
[11:52] <rupert> shaantanu: the system that is not running notively
[11:52] <shaantanu> ok
[11:52] <rupert> shaantanu: i suppouse

[11:52] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:52] <shaantanu> so u suopose i shud go for the linux client ??
[11:53] <necrofile> mcphail: I'm pretty new to the advanced stuff here, where would I find the references to do this?
[11:53] <rupert> shaantanu: give me a second to check it
[11:53] <shaantanu> k

[11:57] <rupert> shaantanu: have you already installed the vmware server for linux ?
[11:57] <shaantanu> no ... I m following a manual
[11:57] <shaantanu> and it tells me to download the client
[11:58] <rupert> shaantanu: good, as i remember there were everything written
[11:58] <shaantanu> now on the download site there r two clients
[11:58] <FirstStrike> hmm
[11:58] <FirstStrike> if i mount my windows drive from the livecd it mounts perfectly
[11:58] <shaantanu> so i m confused between which client to use
[11:58] <rupert> shaantanu: download this that ends with .exe :-)
[11:58] <shaantanu> and here we are !!
[11:58] <FirstStrike> but once i boot up on my install it won't mount
