[03:34] <gravemind> bruenig: I think I installed the two packages in the wrong order :-P
[03:35] <uberushaximus> it's likely already mounted
[03:35] <Pelo> ingo_,  you can setup as many accounts as you want each with different times,
[03:35] <dooglus> ceil420: check out nohup, screen and dtach.  one of them will do what you want
[03:35] <nelsonuwp> pelo: the only thing that was down was 3d contr

[03:35] <gravemind> bruenig, alright, there is a .deb for the w lib? It gave me some source

[03:36] <ubotu> nelsonuwp  review the stuff in here: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[03:36] <madman91> my dads ubuntu installation seems to stop the boot process once it reaches the mounting stage.. it stops having only mounted the / .. it then gives the user a command prompt.. from which I can mount /home ... and it mounts without error.. I removed the ubuntu 12347sfu2347sduy UUID thing and inserted the default /dev/sdxX ... should that cause problems?
[03:36] <dooglus> bruenig: that probably means you didn't do it properly, rather than that screen can't do it
[03:36] <bruenig> dooglus, you close the terminal and it goes with it
[03:36] <bronze> How can I change the screen resolution in the login screen?
[03:36] <timon> can someone tell me, how i move "tahoma.ttf" which is on my desktop to the fonts of wine=?
[03:37] <Pelo> madman91,  did you try booting the recovery mode ?
[03:37] <dooglus> bruenig: try 'screen -r' in a new terminal afterwards
[03:37] <tucci> "error while loading shared libraries: libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" - can someone help me find libxpcom.so
[03:37] <bronze> timon, it's easy. You make sure you have it in "copy" or "cut".
[03:37] <bruenig> I think it was screen, it may have been something else, I don't have screen on this box though nor is it in the repos
[03:37] <timon> can someone tell me, how i move "tahoma.ttf" which is on my desktop to the fonts of wine=?

[03:37] <hyphenex> Hi.  I'm thinking of using Ubuntu server as my distro for a web server.  where can I find a list of packages that will be installed with the latest Ubuntu server?
[03:37] <dooglus> it's in main
[03:37] <bruenig> the repos for this box
[03:37] <Pelo> timon,   the wine font folder is in  /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts , I think
[03:38] <dooglus> it's in the repos for all ubuntu boxen
[03:38] <bruenig> oh what do you know, it was recently added
[03:38] <bruenig> I am not on ubuntu
[03:38] <bronze> and then: go to your personal home folder with your browser, and make sure you can watch hidden folders, and enter wine/c_drive/windows/fonts
[03:38] <dooglus> which distro are you using?
[03:38] <larson9999> bruenig, i think it's fud since i've personally installed automatix2 on a couple dozen machines.  i'll believe it when it breaks on me.  choice, the joy of linux!
[03:38] <bronze> the ubuntu binding for "view hidden folders" is ctrl+h
[03:39] <cakos> hi there
[03:39] <Biscuitian_Warhe> I need some help setting up nfs and getting it to work with a mac, i followed the wiki and it's a no go so far
[03:39] <pha|con> larson9999: it's not automatix that breaks the machines it's how it installs the apps.
[03:39] <SirKeats> pelo: no go on help from the forums.  lots of talk on laptop issues but none about my problem. i guess the first question should be: should i have a standby option in power management?
[03:39] <bruenig> larson9999, it is open source, you can see where the issues are. There are times where package conflicts occur, it picks the first solution doesn't tell you what it has done and you have no idea where your stuff has gone
[03:39] <SirKeats> because i currently do not
[03:39] <cakos> is this a good place to ask for soft advice?
[03:40] <madman91> where can i get the current boot log ?
[03:40] <madman91> the most recent*
[03:40] <madman91> on my computer
[03:40] <dooglus> cakos: this is a good place for flaky advice.  I expect we can give soft advice too.
[03:40] <uberushaximus> /var/log?
[03:40] <madman91> uberushaximus: thanks
[03:40] <Frogzoo_> Biscuitian_Warhe: can you mount the share on the local box through nfs?
[03:40] <Pelo> SirKeats,  if you do not see it  , assume it is not available for your system
[03:40] <cakos> doogle: ok thanks
[03:40] <Biscuitian_Warhe> Frogzoo_ : h/o lemm try
[03:41] <timon> so i had to type "mv /user/desktop/tahoma.ttf /home/user/.wine/windows/drive_c/fonts ?
[03:41] <Pelo> SirKeats,   stanby/suspend/hibernate is tricky in linux anyway, and not wholy reliable
[03:41] <cakos> here is my question: do you know any email client that handle multi accounts and save everything is a few files..easy to move around type.
[03:41] <madman91> uberushaximus: "nothing has yet to be recorded" or something
[03:41] <madman91> uberushaximus: this is on a computer that had an error while booting
[03:42] <mike3_> yawn, what's up boys
[03:42] <madman91> there is nothing in my /var/log/boot .. and i need to know the cause of my boot errors on the other comp
[03:42] <Pelo> cakos,  with all linux progs your files are saved in /home/user ,  should be easy enough to find the proper folder in there and back it up

[03:43] <timon> so i had to type "mv /user/desktop/tahoma.ttf /home/user/.wine/windows/drive_c/fonts ?
[03:43] <mike3_> Wips, is a gimp. =)
[03:43] <mike3_> !gimp
[03:43] <cakos> Pelo, thanks.. I would look for something stored in one file if possible...any ideas?
[03:43] <gravemind> bruenig: sorry for being dense, but is there a way to just have a default menu?
[03:43] <jrib> timon: that doesn't look right, you probably want: mv ~/Desktop/tahoma.ttf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/       and note capitalization is important
[03:44] <bruenig> gravemind, what are you talking about
[03:44] <Wips> but Gimp is so different...
[03:44] <cakos> or at least a file per account...
[03:44] <timon> what comes before /Desktop/ ? What is the place of Desktop?
[03:44] <gravemind> bruenig: on the dvd, just a list of all the videos so I can go to any of them
[03:44] <tatters> Any application in repos that can allow me to remote desktop my PC through a web browser instead of a  shell,?
[03:44] <Pelo> timon,   mv ~/Desktop/tahoma.tff ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
[03:44] <bruenig> gravemind, don't think so
[03:44] <jrib> timon: huh?
[03:44] <tucci> jrib: nothing happens if I click on the binary, and opening it in terminal gives me " error while loading shared libraries: libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[03:44] <uberushaximus> Wips, there is gimpship
[03:44] <uberushaximus> *gimpshop
[03:44] <gravemind> bruenig: how do I make the menu then?

[03:51] <Pelo> derekubuntu,  oh,  you mean it keeps tryting to install even if you donT' want it to ? ok , not problem   sudo apt-get remove vmware , should remove the stuff that's half installed

[04:03] <Pelo> adamorjames, did you look in the forum ? I donT' think you'll get an answer here atm, the channel seems thin on wifi experts
[04:04] <adamorjames> Okay, Pelo.
[04:05] <Echoside> Anyone know of any opensource streaming software? I want to start a internet radio stream but cant find any decent program.
[04:06] <Pelo> Echoside,  did you check in synaptic ,  search for streaming  see what comes up
[04:06] <hatter> anyone know of a more advanced terminal client that lets you manage multiple servers ?
[04:06] <dougsko> Echoside: icecast is good for streams like that
[04:07] <dougsko> hatter: screen
[04:07] <dougsko> maybe anyway, im not totally clear on what you really mean
[04:07] <Echoside> Thanks Pelo and dougsko i'll check them out.
[04:07] <hatter> dougsko, screen is good for one server, i mean like putty,
[04:07] <Pelo> hatter,  try looking up terminal and consol in synaptic
[04:08] <dougsko> hatter: with screen, you can run multiple shells in one terminal
[04:08] <milllmannn> ok, my first time using vi... why cant I type?

[04:08] <milllmannn> i cant type in letters... im sure its something because im a total newbie
[04:09] <Pelo> milllmannn,  I think vi needs to be run as root
[04:09] <hatter> dougsko, putty is still nicer to manage them with , IMHO
[04:09] <milllmannn> well, i can delete characters, but i cant add characters
[04:09] <jrib> milllmannn: press ESCAPE and type :q! and then run 'vimtutor'
[04:09] <dougsko> milllmannn: use vim, and before you use it, run 'vimtutor'
[04:09] <ant-> milllmannn, no you just have to go from viewer mode to insert mode
[04:09] <milllmannn> how do i go to insert mode?
[04:09] <milllmannn> i cant hit esc.. it does nothing
[04:10] <dougsko> milllmannn: 'i'
[04:10] <ant-> jrib told you
[04:10] <jrib> milllmannn: follow it with :q! ...
[04:10] <dougsko> vimtutor ftw
[04:10] <dougsko> hatter: im really not sure what your talking about. putty is an ssh client
[04:11] <milllmannn> vimtutor is a tutor on how to use vi i am guessing?
[04:11] <dougsko> its an interactice tutorial on vim
[04:11] <hatter> dougsko, yes.  i am speaking of having multiple servers managed which are at different ip addresses, some with tunnels, which you can attach to a name in a window
[04:11] <hatter> like putty does
[04:11] <mattycoze> hey does anyone know how to fix broken packages?
[04:12] <dougsko> hatter: eterm + screen = happiness

[04:12] <hatter> dougsko, thanks i will check eterm
[04:13] <bruenig> mattycoze, be specific
[04:13] <dougsko> i use eterm at home, but for some reason, its transparency crashes X on my freebsd box. so i use aterm here. they might as well be the same program though to be honest
[04:14] <jrib> milllmannn: yep, it's great
[04:14] <mattycoze> bruenig i've tried installing Beryl after i've taken it off, net cut out halfway between the install and i've been getting that E: Broken Packages error message all the time
[04:14] <gravemind> hey guys, I realized that having a 64 bit processor is no good if you only have a 32 bit os, so how can I install the 64 bit version but not take over grub from the 32 bit ubuntu (I already have a boot partition)
[04:14] <bruenig> mattycoze, sudo apt-get install -f
[04:15] <jrib> mattycoze: read carefully what apt wants to do, sometimes it is stupid
[04:15] <kitche> gravemind: well there is no real difference between 32bit and 64bit right now most applications can't even use 64bit to it's fullest yet
[04:16] <dougsko> gravemind: if you just go ahead and install it, grub will make room
[04:16] <mattycoze> jrib, bruenig http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27210/
[04:16] <bruenig> mattycoze, there appears to be no problem
[04:16] <gravemind> kitche: I'm making lots of dvds, I thought 64 bit would make them convert video, etc, faster
[04:17] <dougsko> gravemind: no, 64 bits just allows for more memory addresses
[04:17] <mattycoze> kk hang on i'll see what happens when i go "sudo apt-get install beryl"
[04:17] <dougsko> gravemind: it doesnt have anything to do with computing power
[04:17] <mattycoze> same problem; http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27212/
[04:17] <milllmannn> how do i save from vi?
[04:17] <dougsko> ZZ
[04:18] <dougsko> or :wq
[04:18] <jrib> well taht saves and exits
[04:18] <bruenig> mattycoze, sudo apt-get install beryl-plugins beryl-manager
[04:18] <dougsko> ok, :w
[04:18] <bruenig> mattycoze, sudo apt-get install beryl-plugins beryl-settings
[04:18] <milllmannn> :w to save?
[04:18] <bruenig> :w = write
[04:18] <jrib> milllmannn: but you really should run vimtutor if you want to use vim, asking in #ubuntu, how do I do X in vim, will not work very well
[04:19] <milllmannn> i know, i am just trying to get ssh set up so i dont have to do it though this
[04:19] <jrib> milllmannn: why don't you use nano then?
[04:19] <mattycoze> lol okay - basically the same thing's happening, is there like a whole lot of things I need to go through and install?
[04:19] <jrib> mattycoze: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[04:19] <milllmannn> so what do i type in to get to the point where i type :w?
[04:19] <mattycoze> kk
[04:20] <jrib> mattycoze: ESCAPE puts you back in command mode
[04:20] <dougsko> milllmannn: theres also online help inside vim. you can type something like, :h save, to get help on saving
[04:20] <hatter> hmmm,  the eterm installed but there doesnt appear to be a binary for it anywhere
[04:20] <JMak642> can anyone tell me where synaptic stores packages it downloads?  i need to copy one onto another machine
[04:20] <jrib> JMak642: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[04:20] <dougsko> hatter: Eterm (capital e)
[04:20] <milllmannn> ok cool, it worked thanks!
[04:20] <hatter> dougsko, ah.
[04:20] <JMak642> jrib: thanks man
[04:20] <mattycoze> my sources.list file; http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27213/
[04:20] <hatter> man eterm works though :)
[04:21] <hatter> but that did it , thx
[04:21] <gravemind> dougsko: whoa
[04:21] <jrib> milllmannn: I'm pretty sure deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/ debian-unstable beryl-svn is the cause of your problems
[04:21] <gravemind> dougsko: that means compile times in 64 bit and in 32 bit would take the same about of time
[04:21] <hatter> oohh, Eterm is pretty by default :)
[04:22] <dougsko> gravemind: yeah i guess. it really has nothing to do with it
[04:22] <gravemind> whoa
[04:23] <Trippen> Can someone please help me with my xserver gnome fawn 32 problem the moniter keeps going idle after 20 minutes i have it set to go off never this is a real pain when watching a movie as i have to wake it again with the mouse ???
[04:23] <dougsko> hatter: this is the eterm i use at home: {Eterm -T //Ganon// --scrollbar no --buttonbar no -O -f white --font-fx none -g 120x20+255+187 -P none --shade 70
[04:23] <dougsko> (minus that first curly bracket)
[04:24] <Pelo> Trippen,  menu> system > prefs > power management or something ,  put everthing at never , and do the same in the screen saver
[04:24] <kitche> gravemind: x86_64 just passes compiling between the two processors if you have it setup correctly which can make it seem faster compiling since one processor can be parallel compiling
[04:24] <Trippen> Pelo,  i have done that.. and it still goes idle
[04:24] <jrib> Trippen: if you just want to disable it when you watch the movie, you can do: gnome-screensaver-command -i
[04:24] <Pelo> Trippen, something on your mobo maybe ?
[04:24] <gaten> im having trouble w/ my wireless card and feisty. iwconfig can see the card, but 'sudo ifup ath0' recieves no DHCP offers. ive read through most of the wifi docs, and still no go. anyone help? the card works with other livecds
[04:24] <Pelo> Trippen,  in your bios I mean
[04:24] <Trippen> jrib,  will that disable it forever..
[04:25] <Trippen> Pelo, no its not onboard video..
[04:25] <jrib> Trippen: only until you press ctrl-c
[04:25] <astomper> Is if difficult to set up a static network?
[04:25] <dougsko> not at all. thats what i have
[04:25] <JMak642> can i copy the complete contents of the /var/cache/apt directory to another computer w/o it causing an issue?
[04:26] <astomper> dougsko: so you would recommend if I have 3 computers and 2 printers hooked to network?
[04:26] <jrib> JMak642: shouldn't be a problem if it's the same version of ubuntu, but have you heard of apt-zip?
[04:26] <mattycoze> sooo...
[04:27] <mattycoze> i dunno what to do with the whole instalation problem
[04:27] <dougsko> astomper: i did it because i wanted static IPs and dont really like DHCP all that much. but even with DHCP you can have static IPs for some MAC addresses. its really just personal preference
[04:27] <jrib> mattycoze: I'm pretty sure deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/ debian-unstable beryl-svn is the cause of your problems
[04:27] <fisherpri> hmm this machine sucks
[04:27] <fisherpri> now i cant even put vista back on to find out the hard ware
[04:27] <Pelo> mattycoze,  did you try asking in #beryl for help on this ?
[04:27] <fisherpri> knoppix wouldn't load either
[04:27] <dougsko> astomper: no matter what, id give your printers static IPs though
[04:27] <hatter> dougsko, //ganon - windows box with cygwin ?
[04:27] <astomper> dougsko: ok, were there any problems that you ran into that you can give me a heads up on?
[04:28] <Pelo> fisherpri, try looking up hte model on the hp site,  threr should be a specs sheet on there somewhere
[04:28] <mattycoze> Pelo yeah i did try already but they couldn't help
[04:28] <dougsko> hatter: the -T switch just sets the title of the window. its really not needed
[04:28] <fisherpri> i tried, it's a custom machine
[04:28] <fisherpri> no information anywhere
[04:28] <Pelo> mattycoze,  maybe you can'T be helped
[04:28] <mattycoze> jrib okay i'll take that out - some guy in #beryl suggested that one
[04:28] <mattycoze> lol thanks...
[04:28] <fisherpri> i even called sanjoli in bumbai and he refused to tell me what hardware is in my machine
[04:28] <fisherpri> said its a policy
[04:29] <Pelo> fisherpri,  do you hve your invoice anywhere ?
[04:29] <CppIsWeird> what is an app that compares two text files?
[04:29] <JMak642> no, not heard of apt-zip
[04:29] <fisherpri> i do
[04:29] <kitche> CppIsWeird: diff
[04:29] <fisherpri> idk maybe
[04:29] <dougsko> astomper: nope. all you have to do is set the IP, the gateway, netmask, and a default route for each box. its the same info each box would get if it used DHCP
[04:29] <sachrioja> hi
[04:29] <jrib> JMak642: it's made for what I *think* you are doing.  Try: apt-cache show apt-zip
[04:29] <mattycoze> gee
[04:30] <frankita> I can't get my sound to work. I don't even know how to start asking for help
[04:30] <astomper> dougsko: thanks, you just gave me the confidence to give it a shot!
[04:30] <dougsko> astomper: basically, this is it: http://www.sematopia.com/?p=50
[04:30] <mEck0> can you write to /var/log as an usual user or must you have root access?
[04:30] <Pelo> mattycoze,  we try but we have our limits , we'Re just users like you
[04:30] <Pelo> !sound | frankita
[04:30] <ubotu> frankita: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[04:31] <Pelo> frankita,  also check to make sure everthing is plugged in and turned on
[04:31] <frankita> I did that it still isn't work
[04:31] <frankita> well it works on windows
[04:31] <newtubuntu> hi all. As an Ubuntu newbie, I am pretty proud of myself. Here's the account of my week-end:  I've installed Ubuntu Feisty as a dual boot on my new Dell-Vista computer. I have successfully installed VirtualBox with Win2000 and WinXP running smoothly in it (after failing mesirably with VMWare). I have a few things that work great, others that dont. HERE'S MY QUESTION:  Did I make a mistake in installing the AMD64 version of Fe
[04:31] <astomper> !WorksForMe
[04:31] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[04:31] <frankita> so I know the hardware is good
[04:32] <CppIsWeird> kitche, i want a point and click utility, im pissed off and simply typeing --from and --to file sources does not work
[04:32] <trend> ubuntu is nice.. makes me feel back at home (I learned mostly on debian)
[04:32] <frankita> I have selected both asla and my actual hardware
[04:32] <JMak642> i am trying to get the build-essential package on a computer so i can reinstall the driver and get my wifi card working
[04:32] <JMak642> it shows no signal strength
[04:32] <JMak642> the rt2500
[04:32] <Pelo> newtubuntu, depends on what you want,    the 64 bit version doesn'T have a lot of little things like flash
[04:32] <linxuz3r> what is a good pdf editor?
[04:32] <jrib> newtubuntu: you got cut off "isntalling the AMD64 version of Fe"
[04:32] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  we generaly tell ppl to install x86 unless they have a specific need for 64
[04:33] <dougsko> CppIsWeird: take a deep breath, and relax. linux is a journey
[04:33] <newtubuntu> jrib:  what do you mean 'got cut off' ?
[04:33] <jrib> newtubuntu: the server truncated your message
[04:33] <JMak642> but that comp has no other network connection so i gotta put the package on there
[04:33] <CppIsWeird> what is an app that compares two text files?
[04:33] <dougsko> diff is the defacto program for that
[04:33] <jrib> CppIsWeird: you were told before: diff
[04:33] <Pelo> JMak642,  you would probably need to setup a wired connection for the purpose of downloading and installing build-essential
[04:33] <newtubuntu> HERE'S MY QUESTION:  Did I make a mistake in installing the AMD64 version of Feisty Fawn, or should I have installed the 32bits version ?  Am I better off in the long with AMD64 even though some applications are not supported on it ?  Or would I be better off re-installing and starting from scratch before I'm 'too far'.  I know I can 'chmod' in 32bits I think, but apparently it does nothing good on the performance side.  Than
[04:34] <jrib> JMak642: right, but you seem to have another debian-based computer with network access so you can use apt-zip
[04:34] <RoC_MasterMind> newtubuntu, your qeustion is cut off
[04:34] <dougsko> CppIsWeird: try this: diff foo1.txt foo2.txt
[04:34] <jrib> newtubuntu: if you are new to ubuntu, you should go with 32bit imo
[04:34] <newtubuntu> HERE'S MY QUESTION:  Did I make a mistake in installing the AMD64 version of Feisty Fawn, or should I have installed the 32bits version ?  Am I better off in the long with AMD64 even though some applications are not supported on it ?
[04:34] <newtubuntu> Or would I be better off re-installing and starting from scratch before I'm 'too far'.  I know I can 'chmod' in 32bits I think, but apparently it does nothing good on the performance side.  Thanks for any input from you guys, I appreciate.
[04:34] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  reisntall  32 from scratch
[04:34] <ajmorris_> how do i order the time of which scripts start in gnome?
[04:34] <coraline> or install it on VMWare and just select 32bit.
[04:34] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  and write shorter questions
[04:35] <JMak642> yah, i am installing that
[04:35] <dougsko> ajmorris_: cron lets you schedule tasks
[04:35] <Pelo> ajmorris_,  crontab -e
[04:35] <newtubuntu> Pelo: yes, sorry for this long post, I felt I had to give a bit of background to put you in context
[04:35] <ztomic> backing up so I can read.
[04:35] <JMak642> now, i gotta tell you, after i installed ubunto on this laptop over the weekend, i was amazed
[04:35] <JMak642> ubuntu sorry i'm a little busted
[04:35] <ajmorris_> dougska, Pelo, without using cron? (as in the order of /etc/init.d bash scripts)
[04:36] <Pelo> newtubuntu, that's ok,  but brevity is a virtue in a busy channel like this one
[04:36] <JMak642> but the desktop i am working on is sure more of a challenge
[04:36] <newtubuntu> IF I can live with AMD64 as it is right now, how long would it 'normally' take before AMD64 apps are up to speed ? (for example: Sun-Java-Plugin, Flash, etc.) ?
[04:36] <dougsko> ajmorris_: it does those alphabetcally on bootup
[04:36] <ajmorris_> damn :(
[04:36] <JMak642> more hard drives, less hardware support, but still i am going to press on, hopefully i wont have to go back to vista, it is quite terrible
[04:36] <coraline> Vista isn't terrible.
[04:36] <Pelo> ajmorris_,   try  menu > system > prefs > session >  the second tab ( i think )  you can select the demon and change the priority,
[04:37] <coraline> Use the right tool for the right job, no matter what that tool is.
[04:37] <mike3_> JMak642, what is unsupported
[04:37] <gdb> newtubuntu: proprietary software will generally lag 2-3 years behind wide adoption of the platform so don't expect to see 64 java or flash until around 2010.
[04:37] <gdb> newtubuntu: and that's assuming that 64 bit linux becomes widespread
[04:37] <jrib> gdb: there is 64bit java...
[04:37] <gdb> for linux?  in the repos now?
[04:37] <coraline> Sun has been 64 bit for 20 years.
[04:37] <jrib> yes?
[04:37] <JMak642> mike3_:well, my wifi card, rt2500 linksys wmp54g
[04:37] <gdb> and the included plugin works in 64 bit firefox?

[04:37] <ubotu> Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic
[04:37] <JMak642> and i am having a heck of a time with a maxtor disk device
[04:38] <jrib> gdb: no browser plugin however
[04:38] <mike3_> JMak642, you're 100% sure fo that..??
[04:38] <gdb> Yeah, there's the rub.
[04:38] <ajmorris_> Pelo, my tasks don't display there, doesn't matter, i'll change the name of them so they boot up alphabetically
[04:38] <JMak642> mike3_: I guess i mean doesnt work out of the box, it shows no signal strength
[04:38] <gdb> Thanks for insight on the rest of the distribution, though.  I know Solaris has been 64 for *10* years, not 20, but as for Java on 64 bit Linux, that's a new one on me!
[04:39] <dougsko> ajmorris_: good article on this: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch07_:_The_Linux_Boot_Process
[04:39] <Pelo> ajmorris_, best of luck , try giving checking in the forum maybe there is an howto there
[04:39] <mike3_> JMak642, that doesn't mean it doesn't work.
[04:39] <mike3_> JMak642, Even windows doesnt' support things out of the box.
[04:39] <mike3_> JMak642, Maybe just a bit more work for your wireles..
[04:39] <JMak642> mike3_: ok, ok.  i'm after it now
[04:39] <mike3_> JMak642, I found something the first page
[04:39] <newtubuntu> I've successfully installed Sun-Java Runtime Environment (JRE), however, it is the plugin that fails to connect to Firefox. I can't run java apps on the net.
[04:40] <mike3_> JMak642, Do you want some help?
[04:40] <jrib> newtubuntu: have you installed the sun-java6-plugin package?
[04:40] <JMak642> mike3_: if you have time it'd be great
[04:40] <BURTS> what do i need to start programming C?
[04:40] <coraline> Ok, 12 years.
[04:40] <jrib> BURTS: build-essential and a text editor
[04:40] <mike3_> JMak642, pm
[04:40] <coraline> But IBM built the first 64 bit CPU back in 1961.
[04:40] <CppIsWeird> does alt+crtl+del reload the xorg.conf?
[04:40] <mike3_> no
[04:40] <PurpZeY> CppIsWeird: It restarts xserv
[04:40] <CppIsWeird> s/del/backspace
[04:41] <Gearman> how do i upload a file from labtop to my desktop with wireless
[04:41] <mike3_> it reboots the entire computer
[04:41] <jrib> CppIsWeird: yes it only restarts X
[04:41] <newtubuntu> jrib:  sun-java6-plugin is not available in my Synaptic list
[04:41] <PurpZeY> mike3_: No it doesn't.
[04:41] <mike3_> CppIsWeird, do ctrl+alt+f2
[04:41] <BURTS> jrib: do i need an internet connection for build essential?
[04:41] <mike3_> then do a /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:41] <newtubuntu> I installed Sun-Java6-JRE and Sun-Java6-BIN
[04:41] <newtubuntu> but there is NOT Sun-Java6-plugin
[04:41] <jrib> newtubuntu: right, because you are on 64bit sorry.  The best you can do is get the blackdown java plugin or setup a 32bit chroot.  It really isn't worth it for a new user imo.  You should reinstall 32bit
[04:41] <bigs> Has anyone here played with ubuntu Ultimate?
[04:42] <CppIsWeird> ty
[04:42] <JMak642> mike3_: did you get that pm?
[04:42] <bigs> I can easilly get beryl working in edgy and fiesty, but in ultimate its having a hard time
[04:42] <jrib> BURTS: yeah, I think so.  Or you can use the alternate cd as a repository
[04:42] <newtubuntu> OK I will re-install 32bits then. Frustrating cause I don't have much time. But I guess it will save me time in the long run.
[04:43] <PurpZeY> bigs: #ubuntu-effects
[04:43] <newtubuntu> What do I lose by 'stepping down' to 32bits ?
[04:43] <bigs> k
[04:43] <bigs> Im sorry
[04:43] <bigs> ty
[04:43] <PurpZeY> No worries.
[04:43] <jrib> newtubuntu: if you don't know, then you don't lose anything (this is the truth)
[04:43] <BURTS> jrib: i may have to just look for the .deb or something.  I am on dial up and my alternate cd as far as i know is in storage.
[04:43] <newtubuntu> jrib:  lol.  :-)  Will I lose in performance ?
[04:43] <toddy> so true
[04:43] <bigs> Im just used to efnet ass's kicking me for asking a question in the wrong #
[04:44] <mike3_> JMak642, sorry bud
[04:44] <jrib> newtubuntu: not really, you won't notice anything
[04:44] <bigs> but thanks, will do.
[04:44] <mike3_> JMak642, I don't have this user registered.
[04:44] <mike3_> JMak642, let me regsiter this
[04:44] <CppIsWeird> mike3_, i did as instructed, it does not appear to have loaded the new settings, are you sure your methods reload the xorg.conf?
[04:44] <GuHHH> hi
[04:44] <jrib> BURTS: ok, just be sure to grab all the dependencies for build-essential
[04:44] <Eren> hey all
[04:44] <PurpZeY> CppIsWeird: I thought there was an apt-get command for that.
[04:44] <GuHHH> does anybody knows how can i install courier-imap and pop on ubuntu? i can't find it.
[04:45] <JMak642> mike3_: my nick isnt registered either, do i need to do that?
[04:45] <Eren> is there a flash converter for youtube videos?
[04:45] <newtubuntu> jrib:  I'm off 64bits then, and Ubuntu.org should make AMD64 less 'evident' on their site then. I downloaded this version because I assumed that's what I needed with a 64bits proc.
[04:45] <mike3_> JMak642, yes to receive private messages

[04:46] <jrib> newtubuntu: you can file a bug against the ubuntu website if you want at launchpad.net
[04:46] <TraceGreen> Hello, Does ubuntu use its own kernel? or just recompile from kernel.org without any patches?
[04:46] <jrib> TraceGreen: it has patches
[04:46] <mike3_> TraceGreen, It's a kernel with it's patches added to it
[04:46] <TraceGreen> jrib, so, where can I get ubuntu's kernel source code?
[04:47] <delca5> hello people, i have a trouble with my webcam, can someone help me ?
[04:47] <TraceGreen> mike3_, I don't use ubuntu, so, how can I get its kernel souce code? where shall i download
[04:47] <PurpZeY> delca5: Describe please.
[04:47] <jrib> TraceGreen: well you could just install the "linux-source" package or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide if you want to look at the latest git
[04:47] <falcon866> is it normal to have 8% fragmentation on ext3

[04:48] <newtubuntu> jrib: it's not really a bug, is it ?
[04:48] <Gearman> anyone do i need to fragment my hd drive
[04:48] <PurpZeY> ugh ugh
[04:48] <TraceGreen> mike3_, I use debian
[04:48] <tom_> hey guys, i'm having a problem with my new laptop. I have specified that while on battery power, when i close the lid the computer should enter sleep mode. however, when i open the lid again, the screen does not turn back on. pressing keys, moving the mouse, pressing the power button, nothing works.
[04:48] <tom_> !paste > delca5
[04:48] <mike3_> TraceGreen, I'm sure debian has something in it's debian tree.
[04:48] <GuHHH> does anybody knows how can i install courier-imap and pop on ubuntu? i can't find it.
[04:49] <jrib> newtubuntu: well if it made you download a version that wasn't appropriate, I would say it is.  It's just a way to get the developers to get some feedback.  The worse that can happen is they don't agree and reject your bug :)
[04:49] <mike3_> If you are not familar with compiling kernels from source and such, I recommend sticking with the distro's kernel.
[04:49] <PurpZeY> tom_: I've heard a lot of people saying that hibernate can be iffy.
[04:49] <technel> When booting up, when the loading screen shows before the login, what is the command to show what's going on behind the scenes?
[04:49] <TraceGreen> mike3_, yeah, I know. Thanks very much.
[04:49] <delca5> ok, someone can help i have this cam Microdia Genius VideoCAM NB
[04:49] <tom_> PurpZeY: Its not hibernation, it's sleep. if it helps, i'm using intel 8.10 drivers running beryl
[04:49] <PurpZeY> tom_: Sleep being suspend to ram?
[04:49] <mike3_> TraceGreen, However, if you want to do it from scratch head over to kernel.org
[04:50] <newtubuntu> I have 320Gb of hd. If I re-install 32bits, I can repartition it as I want. Should I make the whole thing Linux and run Windows apps ONLY in VirtualBox, or should I keep myself a small partition for Vista or XP ?
[04:50] <tom_> PurpZeY: yes, and i have no lack of ram on this laptop.
[04:50] <mike3_> and go to town. I'd pull a tutorial up for yourself, and know every piece of hardware in your computer.
[04:50] <delca5> in edgy works great with spca5xx, but in feisty no
[04:50] <mike3_> Also, know how to rescue your system if you render it non useable.
[04:50] <tom_> PurpZeY: i know that hibernation won't work for me since i forgot that the swap has to be more than the ram.
[04:50] <MrOtacon> hey guys - when i use the poweroff command, my system halts instead of shutting down - even when i use shutdown -P now it halts, and i have to pull the power cable out... any way to fix this
[04:50] <trend> hmm.. i just installed ubuntu server.. and apt-get upgrade.. and now uname -a says: 2.6.20-16-server #2 SMP even though my machine has one cpu.. will this be a problem?
[04:50] <falcon866> how can i run windows in ubuntu
[04:51] <trend> and also says i686, even though it is i386
[04:51] <jrib> newtubuntu: you have to decide that yourself really, for myself, I don't have windows installed and everything is fine
[04:51] <technel> Is it possible to add a little text box to gnome-panel where I can just type in a command and it will launch a terminal and run the command?
[04:51] <PurpZeY> tom_: It might be beryl related, you could always try switching back to meta-city temporary...But, personally speaking, I have found that both are generally iffy, and I have my machine set just to shut off the monitor.
[04:51] <newtubuntu> jrib:  You are 100% right, and I think I will because I've lost hours on this, even if it can be seen as a small investment in my Linux learning curve.
[04:51] <tom_> newtubuntu: you should consider running windows in qemu or vmware
[04:51] <jrib> !virtualizers >  (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:51] <hatter> newtubuntu, only you can answer that question.  what do you want windows for ? if you want games then you need it to dual boot, if not then running it in a vm is finer
[04:51] <CppIsWeird> how come the only modes listed in my xorg.conf are "1280x800" yet in my ubuntu screen resolution 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480. and my screen resolution appears to be in 1024x768?

[04:51] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:51] <speaker219> CppIsWeird, install 915resolution: sudo apt-get install 915resolution
[04:51] <TraceGreen> mike3_, I just want to get its kernel and recompiled myself.
[04:52] <jrib> !virtualizers > falcon866 (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:52] <newtubuntu> hatter and jrib:  I need Windows for business apps only (accounting, crm, etc.). No gaming for this guy.
[04:52] <mike3_> TraceGreen, which kernel? From the tree?
[04:52] <mike3_> via apt-get?
[04:52] <hatter> newtubuntu, vmplayer works great
[04:52] <jrib> newtubuntu: vm should work fine
[04:52] <hatter> saves rebooting when you need windoze
[04:52] <CppIsWeird> speaker219, and what did that do?
[04:52] <neztiti> guys can someone tell me where 2 put the softcam in vdr
[04:52] <TraceGreen> mike3_, Just ubuntu latest desktop kernel
[04:52] <tom_> PurpZeY: i'll take that into consideration. this is my first laptop, and overall i'm extremely pleased with ubuntu's performance on a laptop. the only thing i had to do was reconfigure panel-applets so i could specify the governor for the cpu scaling.
[04:52] <hatter> * hatter points at hatter and laughs
[04:52] <newtubuntu> is vm better than virtualbox ? what about qemu ?
[04:52] <mike3_> TraceGreen, I am assuming you want the newest kernel from the Debian's tree. YOu'll have to use apt-get then browse over to /usr/src/ and go to town

[04:53] <tom_> PurpZeY: that and the modem doesn't work, but i expected that.
[04:53] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Ok, are you using debian or ubuntu
[04:53] <hatter> newtubuntu, i use vmware.  dont know about the others.
[04:53] <CppIsWeird> speaker219, so now what? i reboot and all is ok?
[04:53] <TraceGreen> mike3_, I use debian. But i want to get ubuntu's kernel.
[04:53] <PurpZeY> tom_: I've never played with CPU scaling, how does that affect your setup?
[04:53] <tom_> PurpZeY: i'll try sleeping with metacity, and i'll let you know how it goes.
[04:53] <speaker219> CppIsWeird, it is required for the screen resolution with an Intel chipset to be in 1280x800, i had the same problem, just reboot after installing it and you should be all set
[04:53] <phpcurious> hi, how can i recover a file i accidentally deleted?
[04:53] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Oh wow.
[04:53] <delca5> someone can help me with the module gspca and this webcam Microdia Genius VideoCAM NB ?
[04:53] <CppIsWeird> speaker219, thx
[04:53] <speaker219> CppIsWeird, wait.
[04:53] <TraceGreen> mike3_, Can i download it from website?
[04:54] <jrib> TraceGreen: if you  /msg ubotu kernel  he will give you compiling instructions for ubuntu, should be similar on debian

[04:54] <tom_> PurpZeY: instead of ondemand scaling, which goes up and down madly, i want to be able to set a definite limit on the speed of the cpu, so i can squeeze some extra battery life out. i have it locked on the minimum clock speed right now.
[04:54] <mike3_> TraceGreen, My Ubuntu box is off right now, but if you can get somebody here to digg through the debs and pull out the url to the ftp. Then yes..
[04:54] <dennis_> Anyone having webex issues with the latest Firefox / jre?
[04:54] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Actually, I think you could find that off the net.

[04:54] <newtubuntu> OK, just before I reformat and re-partition everything, how do I need to set myself up if I want my 'Docs' to be available from 'everywhere'. i.e.: from my core OS, Ubuntu, from any VM (XP or Vista whichever), and from a dual boot partition IF I choose to have one ?
[04:55] <wotanist> Hello, I installed netspeed from the Synaptic Package Manager but I don't see it anywhere. How do I run it?
[04:55] <Shaw1> I have a Maxtor One Touch III external drive.  It's connected and I can access it, but I am not able to write to it.  I get an error that says I do not have permission to write to it?  Can anybody help? Please?
[04:55] <jrib> Fak3: yes, but you need to mount them.  You should have system -> administration -> disks
[04:55] <Pelo> Fak3,  not natively but it is easily added
[04:55] <TraceGreen> mike3_, I just want to try to use ubuntu's kernel. :)
[04:55] <PurpZeY> newtubuntu: Ubuntu should be able to recognize the entire NTFS partition.

[04:56] <mike3_> JMak642, Get somebody to tar up their /usr/src/linux for you
[04:57] <newtubuntu> would it be good practice to create myself a separate independent partition for 'Docs' only ?
[04:57] <mike3_> JMak642, But you will need to know hot to recompile it for yourself and load it into lilo or grub.
[04:57] <jrib> Fak3: yeah, should be.  The only thing to note is that they get mounted so that only root can view them.  Since you are on the livecd, the easiest way to get around this is to open a terminal and type 'gksudo nautilus' and then you should be able to read them and copy etc...
[04:57] <mike3_> JMak642, Rather a messy way of dealing with your problem. You might just make it more frustrating for yourself.
[04:57] <Fak3> ok
[04:57] <Fak3> jrib:  thanks :)
[04:57] <Pelo> newtubuntu, make a seperate partition for your /home   it will make your life easier if you need to reinstall
[04:57] <wotanist> dennis_: I don't see it in /usr/bin/
[04:57] <jrib> newtubuntu: I like having a seperate one for /home as well

[04:58] <SonhadorPR> or apt-get on a terminal to see what is wrong.
[04:58] <jrib> SonhadorPR: please join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[04:58] <tom_> PurpZeY: yeah no dice.

[04:58] <MrOtacon> Gearman: Not in linux - it happens every 30 mounts or so
[04:58] <Gearman> cool
[04:58] <TraceGreen> mike3_, Does any different from Ubuntu and Debian's kernel source code?
[04:58] <SonhadorPR> (E: The package realplayer needs to be reinstalled, but I can find an archive f
[04:58] <PurpZeY> tom_: I have to run in a hot second, but like I said, I've heard it is iffy
[04:58] <tom_> PurpZeY: perhaps it's an issue with intel's drivers.
[04:58] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Probably a lot.
[04:58] <newtubuntu> and my /home partition should be linux, NTFS or FAT32 ?
[04:58] <tom_> PurpZeY: goodnight then, thanks.
[04:59] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Patches, a million modules enabled, and stuff built into the kernel.
[04:59] <jrib> newtubuntu: ext3
[04:59] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  ext3
[04:59] <newtubuntu> ext3 = linux, right ?
[04:59] <mike3_> TraceGreen, First thing i would do if I were you, is read on how to recompile a kernel
[04:59] <MrOtacon> newtubuntu: yes
[04:59] <troopperi> MrOtacon: perhaps your condensators are going down...check them
[04:59] <Pelo> newtubuntu, ext3 is the default fs for most linux distro atm
[04:59] <tom_> newtubuntu: ext3 is what you want to be using for your partitions in linux yes.
[04:59] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Then get the list of computer parts you have in your computer. Then go to town recompiling your kernel for your computer.
[04:59] <Gearman> how do i mount my external hd drive?
[05:00] <wotanist> Please help me run netspeed. I installed it but don't know how to run it. Its not there under Applications > Internet. I installed it from Synaptic Package Manager.
[05:00] <newtubuntu> would a separate XP or vista be able to read the separate ext3 /home partition ?
[05:00] <TraceGreen> mike3_, I know how to recompile.
[05:00] <witless> hi.  my system no longer automatically mounts my music player's USB storage when i plug it in.  how can i fix this?
[05:00] <speaker219> jrib and pelo, sorry and thanks
[05:00] <dennis_> Hey, here's a good question that I do have. I just grabbed the deb package for Seamonkey -- Can't install it. At bash, says can't open window. Then when I called it from the GUI (Gnome) -- Don't have root priv's... Even tried it with fakeroot. Any ideas?
[05:00] <HorizonXP> how do I enable USB devices support in VMWare Server?
[05:00] <TraceGreen> mike3_, I build a livecd my own. but I can not support enough hardware
[05:00] <MrOtacon> troopperi: on the motherboard?!?
[05:00] <tom_> newtubuntu: there is one difference between linux and windows however, in linux, you need another partition, a swap partition which should be 1.5 to 2 times the size of your RAM.
[05:00] <Pelo> Gearman,  usb ?  it plug it in and power it up , it should automount
[05:00] <troopperi> MrOtacon: yes
[05:00] <tom_> its pelo :l you're always here man.
[05:00] <TraceGreen> mike3_, so, I want to choose i stable kernel to use. debian or ubuntu. I want to use ubuntu
[05:00] <wotanist> Please help me!
[05:00] <TraceGreen> mike3_, this why i ask you where can i get ubunut's source code.
[05:01] <Shaw1> I have a Maxtor One Touch III external drive.  It's connected and I can access it, but I am not able to write to it.  I get an error that says I do not have permission to write to it?  Can anybody help? Please?
[05:01] <MrOtacon> troopperi: its a linux only problem though, windows apm works fine... i dont really wanna have to examine my motherboard tonight
[05:01] <Pelo> tom_ ?
[05:01] <dennis_> it should be in /usr/bin/ if it was installed.
[05:01] <Dr_willis> HorizonXP,  thats on the virtual machine settings in vmware server. add  the usb device
[05:01] <Gearman> all i see is cd part it for windows
[05:01] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Neither are more stable then each other. A kernel is a kernel.  I seem to remember having to modify my fstab to automount /proc/sys or something like that
[05:02] <mike3_> TraceGreen, What is causing you a problem?
[05:02] <Nubbie> newtubuntu: microsoft does not support ext3 at all.
[05:02] <wotanist> shell? you mean terminal? it didn't work from there.
[05:02] <mEck0> where does Konversation saves the config-file? So I don't need to reconfigure it each time when I reinstall the system.
[05:02] <Dr_willis> HorizonXP,   you are refering to a USB removeable drive eh?
[05:02] <mike3_> HorizonXP, What?!
[05:02] <Nubbie> newtubuntu: however, there's 3rd party drivers for windows that will let you read ext3 partitions.
[05:02] <newtubuntu> Nubbie:  Thank you.
[05:02] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  clarify 'dident work'
[05:02] <hatter> newtubuntu, send Bill a poo package.  address : 1 microsoft way
[05:02] <mike3_> HorizonXP, /dev/
[05:02] <mike3_> dev=devices
[05:02] <HorizonXP> Dr_willis: yeah actually
[05:03] <Nubbie> lol@hatter
[05:03] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  and yes the shell=terminal=konsole=gnome-terminal
[05:03] <TraceGreen> mike3_, as i said, i build a livecd. when i compile kernle my own. Some computers can not boot successfully
[05:03] <wotanist> Well it says command not found. I typed "netspeed".
[05:03] <Dr_willis> HorizonXP,  Hmm.. Cant say that ive ever tried it.
[05:03] <TTT_Travis> has anyone got LIRC and LIRC_SERIAL to work properly under Edgy?
[05:03] <TraceGreen> mike3_, So, I want to use debian or ubuntu's kernle to support enough hardware.
[05:03] <mike3_> TraceGreen, That's how you learn. =) You are talking to a hardcord Gentoo user.
[05:03] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  thats why you use the package manager to see what files it installed.
[05:03] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Ok you know what you want then.
[05:03] <newtubuntu> Will the ext3 /home partition be available from XP or Vista if I run them in VMWare or VirtualBox ?
[05:03] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Here is what you need to do.
[05:04] <Nubbie> TTT_Travis: instead of asking if anybody has done what you're trying to do, ask if somebody can help you with your problem (tell us your problem!)
[05:04] <angell> hello
[05:04] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  fire up synaptic. find the package. right click check its properties.. see what files it had.
[05:04] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  windows doesn'T read ext3 , if you must you an make an extra partition in fat32 for sharing between the two
[05:04] <newtubuntu> All I want is to avoid having '2 homes' one in Linux, one for my XP virtual machine
[05:04] <angell> can anyone know what's a good windows 98 emulator?
[05:04] <angell> does*
[05:04] <Dr_willis> newtubuntu,  i set them up as a samba share. and accesed them as a network-share.
[05:04] <angell> XP*
[05:05] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Find out the latest kernel in Ubuntu's tree. Download the kernel from kernel.org and uncompress it into your /usr/src/ directory. Then ask somebody for thier .config file and place that file in your uncompressed kernel directory. Once that is done, run a make oldconfig. Then you will get most if not all the support that is built with the Ubuntu kernel.
[05:05] <Dr_willis> angell,  vmware handles win98 fine.
[05:05] <Pelo> angell,  wine
[05:05] <angell> thank you
[05:05] <Pelo> !wine | angell
[05:05] <ubotu> angell: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[05:05] <mike3_> TraceGreen, I would imagine that is a cleaner way of approaching what you want.
[05:05] <Drizzt321> I need some help getting my sd/mmc card reader on my dell e1505/6400 working. It reads SD cards fine, but doesn't recognize MMC cards when inserted. I'm running a custom 2.6.21 kernel
[05:05] <mike3_> TraceGreen, You still need to learn how to recompile kernels though.
[05:05] <Nubbie> newtubuntu: that is a good way to share files between windows and linux, but if at any time you need to read the files inside your ext3 partition from windows, there are drivers available. but to share your music or something between the systems, a fat32 partition is the best option.
[05:05] <mike3_> and load them into lilo or grub
[05:06] <mike3_> It's not as easy as you think man.
[05:06] <Dr_willis> Drizzt321,  this is on a laptop and its media-reader-built-in-thing?
[05:06] <TraceGreen> mike3_, thanks!
[05:06] <newtubuntu> Pelo:  Can I, and would it be good practice, create my /home on a separate NTFS or FAT32 partition so it's available for the Windows virtual machines ?
[05:06] <Drizzt321> Dr_willis: yes
[05:06] <Nubbie> newtubuntu: your root and home partitions need to be ext3.
[05:06] <Drizzt321> Dr_willis:  using the mmc_block,wbsd,sdhci modules
[05:06] <wotanist> Dr_willis: Uh, there're a lot of files there. I don't know which one. It shows a netspeed_applet, but thats not running either.
[05:06] <TraceGreen> mike3_, thanks very much. So, I can get ubuntu's config file, then, i can build ubuntu's kernle, right?
[05:06] <Dr_willis> Drizzt321,  some laptops 'controller' for those thigs have very little linux support sadly. My laptop has similer issues. can only read a few of the slots.
[05:06] <trend> hello, I am trying to  nc -l 1111 to open a port..  but I don't see 1111 open via netstat -tl.. why is this?
[05:06] <Nubbie> newtubuntu: but what you can do is make another partition, a fat32 one, and have it mount inside /home so it will be accessible.
[05:06] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  the path will most likely be somnthing in /bin/ or /usr/bin
[05:07] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  linux doesn'T write to NTFS natively,  don'T make a /home in ntfs, make it as ext3 or fat32 if you realy must
[05:07] <Drizzt321> Dr_willis: whats really weird though, is I can read my SD card, which has the proprietary crap, while I can't on the MMC card
[05:07] <TraceGreen> mike3_, So, Ubunut does not develop its own kernle modules? If i get kernle from kernle.org.
[05:07] <Nubbie> newtubuntu: ex. /home/music as your fat32 partition.
[05:07] <noodles12> !undervolt
[05:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about undervolt - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:07] <mike3_> TraceGreen, No.
[05:07] <Dr_willis> Drizzt321,  mmc = sony?  My SD card works but not my sony sticks. I just carry around a $5 usb-media-reader thing.
[05:07] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Think as Ubuntu taking all that's out there and slapping it together and calling it Ubuntu. :0
[05:07] <mike3_> That's how all Distro's work.
[05:08] <Nubbie> mmc is micro media card or something. i don't think it's a sony invention.
[05:08] <hatter> TraceGreen, google for howto recompile kernel the ubuntu way
[05:08] <mike3_> Of course they customize to their liking and such.
[05:08] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  I think you are setting your sight to high for a newby,   try doing it a simple if a little annoying way first , just soyou get your feet wet , you can always change it later
[05:08] <TraceGreen> mike3_, thanks!
[05:08] <troopperi> MrOtacon: what says (type in console) dmesg
[05:08] <Dr_willis> Theres way too many different memory-stick formats out. :)
[05:08] <Drizzt321> Dr_willis: no, mmc != sony, its basically an SD card without the proprietary stuff. the specs are basically the same, and uses the same base slot
[05:08] <mike3_> TraceGreen, I really wish I have helped
[05:08] <wotanist> Dr_willis: /usr/bin doesnt have a filename next to it under properties :S
[05:08] <Drizzt321> Dr_willis: problem is it sits on the pci bus, not the usb bus otherwise it'd work just fine with usb-storage
[05:08] <Dr_willis> Drizzt321,  cant say that ive ever seen one.
[05:09] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  perhaps look for what documentation files it installed .

[05:10] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  if its a gnome panel applet. you may just need to use the gnome 'add applet to panel' item.

[05:12] <newtubuntu> Pelo: You exclude yourself from 'human beings' ?  *puzzled* :)
[05:12] <wotanist> Dr_willis: There's no "add applet" there, you mean "add to panel"? Its not there
[05:12] <hatter> Dr_willis, thats all i know of also,  the speed of freenx is superior to the others, but not so easy to install

[05:43] <carlosfs> Pelo: ow.. thats stranger... but, thanks again :)
[05:44] <slavik_> trend: what's confusing?
[05:44] <sn0w> alright, ill type out some of the screen section
[05:44] <sn0w> Identifier "Default Screen"
[05:44] <CppIsWeird> when i boot, i hear sound, however, randomly (and usually very quickly) my computer will no longer produce sound?
[05:44] <trend> it using the UUID=0dcee61f-f4ec-48b8-9659-....
[05:44] <slavik_> sn0w: on pastebin please
[05:44] <sn0w> ah
[05:44] <sn0w> ok
[05:44] <sn0w> sorry
[05:44] <slavik_> trend, you can still use the old fashioned method
[05:44] <Pelo> carlosfs,  you shouldnT' need to make a fstab entry for a usb thumb drive,  it should mount auto ,  I donT' know why it doesn'T mount  read write of the bat
[05:44] <slavik_> sn0w: that way, we don't scroll and everyone can see and help ^^
[05:45] <osxdude|about_to> CpplsWeird: did you check your audio cable?
[05:45] <Dr_willis> trend,  try 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid'  :) shows what disks are what uuids
[05:45] <CppIsWeird> there are no cables, its a laptop.
[05:45] <slavik_> carlosfs: it doesn't get mounted at all?
[05:45] <slavik_> cpp is NOT weird, java is weird
[05:45] <Hacim07> osxdude:ok,thanks I'll try that and see if it helps,though I won't know right away because it only does it some times in seemingly random way.
[05:45] <CppIsWeird> slavik_, only if your a newt.
[05:46] <osxdude|about_to> CpplsWeird: An app may be changing settings.
[05:46] <trend> dr_willis.. oh cool.. just edited and rebooted with old way
[05:46] <CppIsWeird> osxdude|about_to, how do i determine this?
[05:46] <CppIsWeird> everytime i reboot my PC, i get sound again
[05:46] <CppIsWeird> for a short period of time
[05:46] <Dr_willis> trend,  i set up mine to mount by label. :) which is cool.
[05:47] <Oni-Dracula> would anyone care to help me with an issue I'm having with sound?  I have multiple sound cards and under Sound Preferences i have selected "multichannel playback" on everything but the mic.  When I click the "test" button, the test sound will play but no sound from any other application, including system sounds, will play.
[05:47] <SqrlKng> Hey, can someone help me out with this?  http://pastebin.ca/589674 I get it when I try to startx with the nvidia driver
 would u be bale to help pls
[05:47] <osxdude|about_to> CpplsWeird: actually, your setting may be changed to Autodetect, and Ubuntu's changing configs. Set the Sound settings to the working ones.
[05:48] <Dr_willis> eyemean,  depends on the issue.
[05:48] <CppIsWeird> yes, i checked, they are all changed to Autodetect.
[05:48] <eyemean> surround sound on CM8738
[05:48] <eyemean> pls
[05:48] <CppIsWeird>  button, and i can hear nothing from any of them
[05:48] <osxdude|about_to> CPPLSWeird: Change them until they work.
[05:48] <CppIsWeird> ** i have tried all devices and that test button, and hear nothing from any of them
[05:49] <orbisvicis> ok, is there a way to force the removal of a package ?
[05:49] <gaten> SqrlKng: how did you install the nvidia drivers?
[05:49] <jetscreamer> heh
[05:50] <sn0w> slavik_ http://pastebin.com/936475
[05:50] <stoned> hi
[05:50] <osxdude|about_to> It could be your sound card overheating or something. Play some music or something and change them.
[05:50] <stoned> I am looking for a netinst ubuntu method
[05:50] <slavik_> whoever had trouble with loading stuff with nvidia driver, problem is that glx can't be laoded, make sure the file is there
[05:51] <bruenig> !install | stoned
[05:51] <ubotu> stoned: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[05:51] <stoned> I need a kernel/initrd for a netinstall
[05:51] <osxdude|about_to> gtg. I need sleep
[05:51] <orbisvicis> sweet, its gone!
[05:51] <SqrlKng> gaten:  I did apt-get install nvidia-glx-new , then I downloaded a driver from nvidia's website and, after installed that as they had instructed
[05:51] <slavik_> sn0w: try ati for driver, then do the reconfigure command, if that doesn't work, get the alternate isntall cd
[05:52] <slavik_> SqrlKng: something is preventing the laoding of the glx module
[05:52] <gaten> SqrlKng: ok. and eveything went well with the nvidia install?
[05:52] <SqrlKng> gaten:  It did after I apt'd the "build essentials"
[05:52] <CppIsWeird> i dont understand why my sounds would work during boot up and even after boot up and then all the sudden die out?
[05:52] <gaten> SqrlKng: right. and you installed it when X was shutdown right?
[05:52] <SqrlKng> gaten:  correct
[05:52] <eyemean> is it hard to enable xgl on radeon 9550, i've tried following methods and totally messed it up
[05:52] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  your user logs in, sound works for a little bit. then stops?
[05:53] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, yep
[05:53] <SqrlKng> gaten:  the weird thing is that it seemed to work alright right after that .. then beryl wasn't starting as it should, so I restarted and that's when I got that error
[05:53] <stoned> is it not possible to install ubuntu over the network?
[05:53] <stoned> why does one have to have an iso?
[05:53] <eyemean> i tried another sitro and it asked if i wanted to enable xgl then it did it itself, which was aswesome, but that disto was too slow for me
[05:54] <gaten> SqrlKng: hmm. i find its best to unistall all the ubuntu supplied nvidia stuff if you're going to install nvidias cutting edge drivers
[05:54] <arrrghhh> hey does anyone know how to configure hamachi?
[05:54] <arrrghhh> i can't seem to get it to work right...
[05:54] <geeksauce> what could be causing xmms to not be able to control sound volume?
[05:54] <SqrlKng> gaten:  how do you go about doing that?
[05:54] <Fajro> Hi! Fluxbuntu works well in a Pentium 166 with 32 mb of RAM?   Ubuntu Lite?
[05:55] <stoned> anyone/
[05:55] <Gaban> hi
[05:55] <gaten> SqrlKng: search for nvidia packages installed on the system and remove em. then reboot and then install the nvidia drivers. reboot again
[05:55] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  as a test.. try a very simple window manager,  like.. fluxbox, see if sound works, and keeps working in it for you.
[05:55] <arrrghhh> Fajro, probably an old version tho...i doubt the new feisty
[05:55] <sn0w> slavik_ i tried running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it still doesnt work
[05:55] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  may also want to try a different user. (as a test)
[05:55] <sn0w> it does auto detect the correct resolutions for once but it still wont startx
[05:55] <stoned> I need an ubuntu linux kernel/initrd.gz so I can boot it and start a pure network install.  I can't seem to find them.  Does anyone know where I can get these images?
[05:56] <stoned> I don't want to download iso
[05:56] <arrrghhh> sn0w, did you try the auto config command
[05:56] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, no sound on anything works now (and after toying with things and turning everything i could find up, im afraid i might blow up my speaker) and same thing happens for any user
[05:56] <slavik_> sn0w: looks like the alternate cd is the only way then, I can't think of anything else (you tried the 'ati' driver?)
[05:56] <sn0w> when i do the autodetect video hardware it says no X server known for my hardware
[05:56] <gregorovius> hi... is there a graphical equivalent to GNU screen?
[05:56] <arrrghhh> "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[05:56] <sn0w> yea i tried that
[05:56] <sn0w> what does the -phigh do
[05:56] <arrrghhh> did you SELECT different drivers?
[05:56] <arrrghhh> auto sets up everything but your video stuff
[05:56] <sn0w> i tried, vga, vesa, and ati
[05:56] <stoned> it makes it so it asks you less questions
[05:57] <sn0w> none of those worked
[05:57] <arrrghhh> so all the keyboard, etc settings are automatic
[05:57] <slavik_> arrrghhh: we did vesa (original) vga and ati, think radeon is worth trying?
[05:57] <stoned> only questions of priority high
[05:57] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  this is why i am glad i buy nice "sound blaster audigy' sound cards. :()
[05:57] <arrrghhh> slavik_, might as well...
[05:57] <slavik_> sn0w: give it a try ...
[05:57] <stoned> sn0w: try -plow if you want to specify more things
[05:57] <stoned> fine tune it
[05:57] <arrrghhh> -plow?
[05:57] <arrrghhh> lol
[05:57] <sn0w> just put radeon in the for the driver?
[05:58] <arrrghhh> is it like a really really new ati card?!?
[05:58] <monitordawg> I have a smbfs mount problem since I changed my ip address from dhcp to static.
[05:58] <stoned> I need an ubuntu linux kernel/initrd.gz so I can boot it and start a pure network install.  I can't seem to find them.  Does anyone know where I can get these images?
[05:58] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, sure thing, why dont you just run on over here and pop one of those suckers in the back of my laptop eh?
[05:58] <eggs> is envy an okay script to use with ubuntu ?
[05:58] <sn0w> its an ati radeon xpress 1250
[05:58] <monitordawg> my old mount no longer works....I had it setup using the fstab....and rebooting the server and my workstations yeild no results....does anyone have any ideas
[05:58] <crdlb> eggs, no
[05:58] <arrrghhh> stoned, can't you just extract them from the iso?  i dunno
[05:58] <stoned> I DONT WANT TO GET AN ISO!
[05:59] <arrrghhh> uhm
[05:59] <arrrghhh> too bad?
[05:59] <sn0w> radeon did not work
[05:59] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  heck with a laptop - its higly likely its some funky bios issue. :)
[05:59] <arrrghhh> get a really tiny one
[05:59] <AlestorJ1> Hi, how does anyone know how I can make a CD bootable?  I have a CD with an ISO, it's detected, the boot sequence is fine, so I was wondering if it was some setting that was incorrect.  Anyone?
[05:59] <eggs> crdlb: any suggestions on what i can use ?
[05:59] <arrrghhh> like dsl or something...
[05:59] <stoned> if you can't do a netinst on linux, that distro is not worth using
[05:59] <crdlb> eggs, system>administration>restricted drivers manager
[06:00] <sn0w> and can you point me where the alternate disc is again
[06:00] <eggs> i do not see that on my list
[06:00] <eyemean> is it true that with xgl you cant have dual screen?
[06:00] <Kprofthreat> LARGESS
[06:00] <arrrghhh> so has anyone configured hamachi correctly?  i thought it was supposed to be easy, and nothing is working
[06:00] <eggs> i use 6.06
[06:01] <Kprofthreat> Can anyone help me configure my wireless to start at boot? The automatic connection has the ESSID and all, but the key is only WEP...
[06:01] <sn0w> ok i see, its text based installer, ok but after that am i going to have these same problems?
[06:01] <crdlb> eggs, then you'll have to do it the manual way
[06:01] <crdlb> !nvidia
[06:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:01] <stoned> every single install method requires an iso
[06:01] <stoned> why can't you install ubuntu through netinst
[06:01] <crdlb> see the 6.10 and earlier method
[06:01] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, i could have just as easily determined that sound not working is an "issue" of perhaps "anything". The goal of asking for help is to not point out that i have a problem, but to ask people who know how to use this OS better then I do steps to troubleshooting the "issue".
[06:01] <arrrghhh> you probably can
[06:01] <arrrghhh> it's just not easy
[06:01] <stoned> im sure of it
[06:01] <gregorovius> anyone knows if a graphical version of GNU screen exists?
[06:01] <crdlb> !netinstall
[06:01] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[06:02] <stoned> what do you mean its not easy
[06:02] <stoned> its a peice of cake
[06:02] <orbisvicis> arrrghhh, openvpn, its hard to config also but better in concept
[06:02] <stoned> crdlb: I've looked all around those links and found nothing
[06:02] <maynards-girl> i tried installing the nvidia drivers according to the ubuntu forum and now it's not detecting my video settings. where do i start?
[06:02] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  I DO recall ages ago a problem where.. no wait.. thats not the same in your case..  heh... thinking of other trouble shooting methods...
[06:02] <arrrghhh> orbisvicis, you're sayin better than hamachi?
[06:02] <arrrghhh> orbisvicis, i just want something that works with vnc
[06:02] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  try it totally from the console yet? like with  mpg123 ?
[06:02] <sn0w> slavik_ after i messed with it, it now says no screens found at all
[06:02] <orbisvicis> arrrghhh, well with hamachi the initial connection goes through their servers
[06:02] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  also - could try some live cd's see if it has similer issues...
[06:02] <sn0w> before it said screen were found, but no usable config
[06:02] <arrrghhh> yea
[06:02] <kevin57> How do you define a path in the terminal?
[06:02] <stoned> I need an ubuntu linux kernel/initrd.gz so I can boot it and start a pure network install.  I can't seem to find them.  Does anyone know where I can get these images?
[06:03] <slavik_> sn0w: you only changed the driver, right?
[06:03] <sn0w> yea to radeon
[06:03] <sn0w> it didnt like that
[06:03] <daniellibanori> Hi people. I've bought a Thinkpad T61. Unfortunelly, it comes with Windows Vista. I want to install only Ubuntu, but, I don't know if I will get some trouble case I need reinstall Vista.
[06:03] <slavik_> sn0w: can you also post the serverlayour section?
[06:03] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  it sounds like the sound card drives are crashing/bugged. but not even sure where to get any sort of logging info on that.
[06:03] <stoned> you know when you boot these two files it starts to downlod the base system, installs it, then downloads the pckages
[06:03] <sn0w> ok
[06:03] <stoned> I don't want to download an iso, I just want to do a net isntall
[06:03] <gregorovius> is there a way to run a graphical application so that even if my x session crashes it will still be running?
[06:03] <stoned> I can't find these files anywhere
[06:03] <stoned> can anyone plese help me!
[06:03] <arrrghhh> sn0w, have you tried deleting the xorg.conf file
[06:03] <Dr_willis> gregorovius,  run the imporntant apps in a vncserver virtual desktop.
[06:04] <orbisvicis> arrrghhh, if you have access to your router, set up port-forwarding or enable upnp, then you wont need vpn
[06:04] <Nutubuntu> Question about dump & restore. The description of dump says it's for the ext2 fs. Is it also compatible with ext3? I want to copy the /home partition from my old computer to my new one, which has new disks. The partitions are of different size. Some of the files are > 4GB. I think dump / restore may be my best choices, but I'm a n00b and would be grateful for advice from someone who's already done this.
[06:04] <sn0w> no i havnt, after i delete then what
[06:04] <monitordawg> has anyone ever seen this error smb_lookup: find //DB_CONFIG failed, error=-5
[06:04] <arrrghhh> orbisvicis, i have access to my router @ home but not at work
[06:04] <daniellibanori> I just want to format my Windows and I don't know if I can get some trouble in the future, case I need to reinstall it. Someone could help me?
[06:04] <gregorovius> Dr_willis, know of any guides for that?
[06:04] <arrrghhh> sn0w boot in
[06:04] <orbisvicis> arrrghhh, too bad
[06:05] <arrrghhh> orbisvicis, no?
[06:05] <Dr_willis> gregorovius,  install vncserver, runvncserver, run a vncviewer  use the virtual desktop to run the apps..  then  it should 'stay' running even if you crash X. (since they are not running In the local X)
[06:05] <arrrghhh> logmein is sweet, too bad there's no linux support
[06:06] <stoned> so am I to assume ubuntu is worthless?
[06:06] <arrrghhh> stoned, yea use gentoo
[06:06] <emet> totally
[06:06] <orbisvicis> arrrghhh, as far as i know, theres only hamachi or openvpn. But connecting from work -> home should work without hamachi. vice versa not
[06:06] <stoned> heh
[06:06] <orbisvicis> or any vpn
[06:06] <stoned> ubuntu for ubuntards
[06:07] <stoned> anyway
[06:07] <arrrghhh> i'm an ubuntard
[06:07] <stoned> I need a netinstall kernel
[06:07] <n2diy> daniellibanori: check out http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[06:07] <arrrghhh> orbisvicis, hamachi seems like it would work great
[06:07] <maynards-girl> i tried installing my nvidia driver according to the ubuntu forum and now it's not detecting my card and my resolution is really poor. what do i do?
[06:07] <arrrghhh> i just figured out xdmpc with xfce4
[06:07] <Dr_willis> I thought there was some net-install docs on the ubuntu wiki. Never done it however.
[06:08] <daniellibanori> n2diy: thanks. I just have some doubts about windows license
[06:08] <arrrghhh> maynards-girl, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[06:08] <Fedman> uhhm does anyone know a way to sync kmobile tools with evolution?
[06:08] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, mpg123 does not play from command line.
[06:08] <Nutubuntu> Maybe I missed this; is there a question about the net install (the Minimal CD)?
[06:08] <arrrghhh> maynards-girl, then pick your card & resolutions you want listed
[06:08] <stoned> Dr_willis: its a piece of cake, you get a linux kernel and initrd.gz and go tell grub to boot it into ramdisk.  start the isntaller, base system is downloaded from archives, installed, then configured, then it downloads the rest of the optional system packages
[06:08] <sx66> do you know of a torrent downloader to enhance download speeds?
[06:08] <n2diy> daniellibanori: so do I, that's why I switched to linux!
[06:08] <stoned> Dr_willis: I need to do this, I don't want to download an iso
[06:08] <orbisvicis> anyone ever heard of libmp3lame and libfftw3 ?
[06:09] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  Hmm..  try it with sudo. (egads we are grasping at straws) it cant be a permission issue. Gotta be a driver bug sounds like.
[06:09] <maynards-girl> arrrghhh, i tried picking nvidia but it won't work
[06:09] <stoned> Dr_willis: this should be possible with ubuntu, and if not, then it really is worthless
[06:09] <daniellibanori> n2diy: I know it will work. I just dont want to lose my license
[06:09] <maynards-girl> arrrghhh, what else should i pick?
[06:09] <Dr_willis> stoned,  i never said it wasent.. and i dont agree with your logic.
[06:09] <arrrghhh> maynards-girl, have you tried nv?
[06:09] <Soth> stoned: perhaps if you whine about it a bit more that will help
[06:09] <maynards-girl> let me try that
[06:09] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, negative.
[06:09] <daniellibanori> n2diy: In the future, if I want to sell it, I will want to sell with windows included
[06:09] <n2diy> daniellibanori: Vista doesn't allow you to share your hard drive with linux?
[06:09] <stoned> I've been asking for a while too though
[06:10] <Bspec> in what directory are mozilla plugins installed?
[06:10] <stoned> the links that were given to me don't have anything like this
[06:10] <stoned> I read all ubuntu install guides
[06:10] <daniellibanori> n2diy: Man, it eated something about 445 GMb. Its too much for me
[06:10] <kevin57> Sorry to bother again, but does anyone know how to define a path? Any help is appreciated, thank you.
[06:10] <daniellibanori> ops, 45 Gb
[06:10] <stoned> I just want to confirm from someone who knows a thing about ubuntu beyond why xmms doesn't work
[06:10] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  Hmm..  Im running out of ideas.. at least ya can give out a lot of info on any bug repport you do.
[06:10] <hansin321> I have Fiesty installed that I want to upgrade to Gutsy Testing/Tribe.  Can I do this with some sort of dist-upgrade command, or do I need to do a reinstall from CD?
[06:10] <maynards-girl> does cntl + alt + backspace restart the thing?
[06:11] <n2diy> daniellibanori: So dual boot the box. What ate 445 gig?
[06:11] <daniellibanori> n2diy: I dont want dual boot... I dont want anything about MS. Just ubuntu.
[06:11] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  wonder if theres a gutsy livecd out.  That would be a big 'test' if it worked there..
[06:11] <arrrghhh> daniellibanori, so wipe it what's the problem
[06:11] <daniellibanori> n2diy: Vista taked something about 45 Gigabytes
[06:12] <daniellibanori> arrrghhh: I just want to lose my license or any right
[06:12] <sn0w> slavik_ http://pastebin.com/936480
[06:12] <n2diy> daniellibanori: So install linux, and let the future buyer worry about getting Winders?
[06:12] <daniellibanori> arrrghhh: I payed for this shit :(
[06:12] <arrrghhh> daniellibanori, you won't lose anything... just keep the discs & keys
[06:12] <Nutubuntu> !ohmy
[06:12] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:13] <daniellibanori> arrrghhh: OEM doesnt come with discs
[06:13] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  :) learning to swim by just diving in!.
[06:13] <daniellibanori> just the keys
[06:13] <Dr_willis> OEM 'should' of came with some restore disks.
[06:13] <arrrghhh> daniellibanori, that sucks, oem ripped you off
[06:13] <maynards-girl> arrrghhh, thanks resolution works using the nv. now onto other problem
[06:13] <slavik_> sn0w: i am out of ideas :(
[06:13] <arrrghhh> maynards-girl, no you fix my problem now
[06:13] <sn0w> dang, i bought this laptop purely to put ubuntu on it
[06:13] <slavik_> sn0w: try the alternate install cd
[06:13] <maynards-girl> arrrghhh, what do u need?
[06:14] <sn0w> i have a 30 gig partition with vista, and left 140 gig for ubuntu
[06:14] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, even with all the stuff thats going wrong, im still happier with it then vista. i herd people dis vista, but i figured they were just haters, until i got this laptop and I used vista for 5 hours and said to hell with that. I've been using windows since win 3.11.
[06:14] <Felarin> sn0w : Ubuntu does not need 140 gb
[06:14] <sn0w> yea i know
[06:14] <Felarin> 10 gb is more than enough
[06:14] <arrrghhh> maynards-girl, get hamachi workin
[06:14] <sn0w> im going to partition the rest out
[06:14] <stoned> ok
[06:14] <Felarin> ext3?
[06:14] <daniellibanori> My doubt is simple: case I need to reinstall Vista, should I need to pay for a new license?
[06:14] <maynards-girl> arrrghhh, what's that?
[06:14] <Felarin> you shoulda bought the dellbuntu laptop
[06:14] <Felarin> lol
[06:14] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  my wifes new laptop has vista.. she hates it also.. but wont give up the eyecandy/silly stuff she has in windows for linux. *yet*
[06:14] <stoned> so basically this is a useless distro hidin behind marketing and shiny interfaces
[06:14] <sn0w> but slavik_ after that am i going to run into these same problems
[06:14] <sn0w> Felarin lol
[06:14] <stoned> this is pathetic
[06:14] <slavik_> Felarin: many people like ubuntu more, thus give it more space in their heart (read: hdd) ^^
[06:14] <eggs> why is envy bad ?
[06:14] <arrrghhh> maynards-girl, nvm..
[06:14] <slavik_> sn0w: highly likely I think
[06:15] <dibblego> what command finds all users logged on a machine?
[06:15] <Dr_willis> eggs,  its not supported by ubuntu is one thing.
[06:15] <sn0w> problem with my video card?
[06:15] <daniellibanori> Felarin: I like Dell, but I choosed a thinkpad
[06:15] <emet> daniellibanori, no
[06:15] <Dr_willis> eggs,  ive heard it works. but not sure why its really needed for most people.
[06:15] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, yeah, i am totally digging the vista interface, its hot as hell... but as slow as it runs and just so many things chap my ass about it.
[06:15] <Nutubuntu> how weird ... /ignore isn't working ... :/
[06:15] <slavik_> sn0w: the other thing is to install the fglrx driver which I think will be somewhat painfull without GUI, another idea is to install, then download the driver and use knoppix with chroot
[06:15] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  she HATES the interface.. she just likes the side-bar thing and her 8-ball and weather report.
[06:15] <Felarin> slavik_: Giving space for an ext3 partition for storage is more logical
[06:15] <slavik_> Felarin: ext4 > ext3 :P
[06:16] <n2diy> daniellibanori: Your laptop is already licensed for Vista, no you don't need to pay for a new license, but you do need to get the OEM to supply you the disks, which he should have done to begin with.
[06:16] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, ... im sorry, but... smack her... or something...
[06:16] <Felarin> slavik_: ext20 > ext4
[06:16] <Felarin> whats your point?
[06:16] <slavik_> Dr_willis: I agree with CppIsWeird
[06:16] <slavik_> Felarin: you knwo about ext20?!
[06:16] <sn0w> slavik_ ok thanks, ill try that
[06:16] <Felarin> i take it that there is no point then
 > "ext20" > "ext4"
  False
[06:16] <daniellibanori> n2diy: thanks, I will ask them
[06:17] <administrator> hi, this newb hour yet? because I need some help
[06:17] <Nutubuntu> !ask
[06:17] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:17] <Jack_Sparrow> snow what video card
[06:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry I came in late
[06:17] <administrator> !ask
[06:17] <slavik_> sn0w: another idea for consideration is trying gutsy gibbon, maybe the drivers in that xorg are more updated and support express 1200
[06:18] <administrator> OK then....I'm following this guide http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4 to setup a server running Kubuntu
[06:18] <eggs> is it hard to update from 6.06 to a newer version?
[06:18] <administrator> I ran into some problems with terminal
[06:18] <sn0w> ok good idea
[06:18] <administrator> First off, letme tell you that bug on install that the file manager isn't closing the HDD is bad
[06:18] <administrator> real bad for install
[06:18] <administrator> as to my problem
[06:18] <daniellibanori> Thanks guys
[06:18] <administrator> whenever I launch terminal it crashes and I get logged out
[06:20] <Jack_Sparrow> HAs anyone tried the script Envy to install the latest video drivers ati or nvidia
[06:20] <Nutubuntu> !envy
[06:20] <administrator> also, why doesn't ubuntu's firefox have an "options" menu
[06:20] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[06:21] <arrrghhh> i think my video card is too new for ubuntu or something
[06:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Good to know
[06:21] <eggs> !update
[06:21] <arrrghhh> cuz it works... kinda - but my 2nd monitor (tv) doesn't work worth a crap
[06:21] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[06:21] <slavik_> administrator: it does, but in a different place (edit - > preferences)
[06:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Not the best support from ATI
[06:21] <Nutubuntu> administrator, do you mean Preferences (in Firefox)? If so, it's under the Edit menu
[06:22] <administrator> Yes thanks!!!
[06:22] <administrator> OK as to terminal, what do I need to do to give you more information?
[06:22] <administrator> It just crashes on launch
[06:22] <slavik_> administrator: prefs is the original one, they put it under tools for the windows version for the IE nubs :P
[06:22] <administrator> ah I see
[06:22] <slavik_> administrator: when you launch gnome-terminal, what is the error you get? if anything
[06:23] <administrator> no error, just blank screen and then a log out
[06:23] <jscinoz> is it possible to make a CD that redirects boot to a USB device for use on computers that cant directly boot off USB?
[06:23] <slavik_> administrator: we are talking about a terminal emulator, right (in a gui, not full screen)
[06:23] <Bspec> in what directory are mozilla plugins installed?
[06:24] <CppIsWeird> how come when i did a make on a file i want to build, i get a million errors and warnings?
[06:24] <administrator> Yes terminal emulator, its the default one in Kubuntu
[06:24] <slavik_> jscinoz: I think so, basically, the CD will actually boot, but enough to mount a USB drive and continue there, I think grub should support usb
[06:24] <slavik_> administrator: try running xterm (Alt+F2, then type in xterm)
[06:24] <Jack_Sparrow> jscinoz: If you can boot a cd why wouldnt you just make that the install?
[06:24] <jscinoz> slavik_ is there somewhere i can download an ISO to do this?
[06:25] <slavik_> jscinoz: not that I know off
[06:25] <slavik_> jscinoz: why would you need to boot from usb?
[06:25] <n2diy> slavik_: run xterm from xterm?
[06:25] <gantrixx> what can I use to burn an iso image on ubuntu?
[06:25] <jscinoz> I have a live USB installation of ubuntu that has too much data to fit on a CD or dvd
[06:25] <slavik_> n2diy: no, from the run program thingy
[06:25] <administrator> OK that works
[06:25] <ajmorris_> gantrixx, K3B
[06:25] <jscinoz> and usb is faster than CD anyway
[06:25] <Jack_Sparrow> gantrixx: I thought you could do that with a right click on the iso
[06:25] <administrator> im in
[06:25] <n2diy> gantrixx: k3b
[06:25] <slavik_> jscinoz: get knoppix and mount the drive ^^
[06:26] <gantrixx> thanks
[06:26] <slavik_> administrator: now type "konsole" there
[06:26] <slavik_> and see what erros you get
[06:26] <n2diy> gantrixx: ok, roger, a terminal isn't an xterm.
[06:26] <jscinoz> you're missing my point
[06:26] <n2diy> slavik_:  ok, roger, a terminal isn't an xterm.
[06:27] <jscinoz> I have an entire ubuntu installation on a usb HDD (80gb) most computers i use can boot straight off it but some older ones cant
[06:27] <slavik_> xterm is a terminal emulator :) like konsole and gnome-terminal :)
[06:27] <arrrghhh> jscinoz, only if the mobo allows it
[06:27] <administrator> The program "konsole" is currently not installed. You can install it by tyuping: sudo apt-get install konsole bash: konsole: command not found
[06:27] <jscinoz> i simply need a small cd image that can redirect boot from CD to USB, i've seen it done before but forgot what it was called
[06:27] <jscinoz> i know that arrghh.
[06:27] <gantrixx> where would I find K3B?
[06:27] <arrrghhh> administrator, so install it...
[06:27] <w116tjb> gantrixx: sudo apt-get install k3b
[06:27] <n2diy> jscinoz: miniiso?
[06:27] <slavik_> jscinoz: you need a CD/DVD which has grub on it to allow you to get to grub terminal, then you can boot anything from there
[06:28] <jscinoz> thanks n2diy
[06:28] <Jack_Sparrow> jscinoz: Have you read up on persistent folder ?
[06:28] <ajmorris_> anyone have the link to fix the known bug of firefox using too much RAM
[06:28] <gantrixx> I'm new to Ubuntu
[06:28] <gantrixx> I found it
[06:28] <esun819> how are you liking it
[06:28] <Nutubuntu> ajmorris_, did that persist into Firefox 2? I had that in 1.5, I know.
[06:29] <slavik_> ajmorris_: restart it
[06:29] <n2diy> jscinoz: mini.iso?
[06:29] <slavik_> firefox is using ram because it is caching some older pages you've already viewed
[06:29] <ajmorris_> Nutubuntu, yes it did
[06:29] <reed026> anyone know how to install the livehttpheaders?
[06:29] <jscinoz> hmm
[06:29] <slavik_> something about opera finding that people click back a lot
[06:29] <reed026> I can't seem to install it via Firefox
[06:29] <administrator> ok i ran sudo apt-get install konsole and I get E: could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock open (11 resource temporarilly unvailable
[06:29] <ajmorris_> slavik_, no, restarting does not fix the bug, you have to change some stuff in about:config, i can't remember what though
[06:30] <slavik_> administrator: are you on kde or gnome?
[06:30] <administrator> im on kubuntu
[06:30] <esun819> administrator: you have another synaptic open
[06:30] <esun819> or adept
[06:30] <slavik_> administrator: right click the launcher and tell what command it runs
[06:30] <administrator> yes I do...closing it
[06:30] <esun819> or another terminal using your package manager
[06:30] <esun819> yeah
[06:30] <esun819> try again
[06:30] <esun819> taht should fix it
[06:30] <administrator> k
[06:30] <administrator> works
[06:30] <slavik_> kde doesn't come with konsole?
[06:30] <administrator> more bloat? :(
[06:30] <esun819> great =)
[06:31] <esun819> i think it does
[06:31] <Nutubuntu> ajmorris_,  ... was it leaksram.likeseive.untilshutdown = 1, set to 0?
[06:31] <administrator> are you sure I should install this
[06:31] <esun819> alt + f2 -> konsole
[06:31] <slavik_> why is administratorinstalling it then
[06:31] <reed026> anyone know how to install the livehttpheaders? I can't seem to install it via Firefox.
[06:31] <slavik_> administrator: who said to install konsole?
[06:31] <james296> sorry to be off topic but this is VERY important for me and someone at my class, is it possible to boot from an external Western Digital HD on a HP Omnibook 500?
[06:31] <administrator> the terminal under applications isn't working
[06:31] <ajmorris_> Nutubuntu, no..... but i suppose that could help
[06:31] <administrator> uhhh
[06:31] <administrator> hold on
[06:31] <Nutubuntu> ;)
[06:31] <slavik_> james296: look up the system, we don't know
[06:31] <esun819> james296: check the bios setup and see if you have an option to boot from a USB device
[06:31] <k-os> is it possible to connect to internet via another computer? if so, where is the how-tol?
[06:31] <administrator> arrghh told me to install it
[06:32] <james296> I already know he does have that option
[06:32] <slavik_> administrator: well, don't ...
[06:32] <james296> but...
[06:32] <n2diy> james296:  check out http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[06:32] <administrator> OK so how do I fix terminal
[06:32] <james296> I tried to boot from a flash memory card, it detected it but couldnt boot from it
[06:32] <slavik_> administrator: right click on the launcher for the terminal and tell us the command it runs
[06:32] <ajmorris_> Nutubuntu, leaksram.likeseive.untilshutdown is not even there by default
[06:32] <james296> no his computer doesnt run linux at all
[06:32] <james296> it runs Windows 2000 Pro
[06:32] <slavik_> james296: hook the hdd up and see if it will get detected at all
[06:32] <Nutubuntu> lol
[06:33] <james296> but I accidently deleted his boot partition...
[06:33] <esun819> james296 you mean windows boot partition?
[06:33] <slavik_> james296: boot with win2k install cd and go to repair terminal and type "fixmbr"
[06:33] <slavik_> wait, the whole partition or the boot sector?
[06:34] <CppIsWeird> how come when i did a make on a file i want to build, i get a million errors and warnings?
[06:34] <james296> no it was a seperate partition in his HD that had Windows 98 that came preinstalled on the comp, but it wasnt labeled or anything so I figured it was wasting space
[06:34] <slavik_> CppIsWeird: something is wrong :P
[06:34] <esun819> cppisweird: make sure you have the dependencies installed
[06:34] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  you got the build-essential stuff installed?
[06:34] <james296> he doesnt have a CD rom drive though
[06:34] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, that sounds like the problem. thx.
[06:34] <slavik_> james296: did you make a new aprtition there?
[06:34] <n2diy> CppIsWeird: you don't have build-essential installed?
[06:34] <wsjunior> hi guys i have a strange behavour here, sometimes the scroll of my touchpad stop working suddenly and then i found a bug (this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/68540) that says to simply swtich to a virtual terminal and come back to X session. actually this works but its extremly annoying to me have to do it everytime, does anybody know a real fix to this problem?
[06:34] <slavik_> james296: tell him to get a new computer with a cdrom drive
[06:35] <esun819> lol slavik_
[06:35] <james296> whats that gonna do if the boot partiton isnt on the comp and it doesnt have a CD rom drive?
[06:35] <arrrghhh> james296, did  you see the flash stick in the BIOS?
[06:35] <administrator> Hi, I crashed when I right clicked it
[06:35] <administrator> I thought linux wasn't sposed to crash
[06:35] <james296> it showed up in scrambled letters and symbols
[06:35] <slavik_> esun819: it's 2007, no reason to not have a cdrom drive ... hell DVD drive should be required for a legal operating computer
[06:35] <terayam> hello, I'm really new to Linux and I'm having some problems with a few KDE applictaions
[06:35] <arrrghhh> james296, like could you select it in the boot order?
[06:35] <james296> like it couldnt find the driver for it
[06:35] <esun819> whats the problem terayam
[06:35] <slavik_> administrator: make sure kubuntu-desktop package is installed
[06:36] <slavik_> administrator: linux didn't crash, X crashed :P
[06:36] <administrator> I'm pretty sure it is, how I do that though
[06:36] <james296> yes but it wasnt being read at all
[06:36] <administrator> ahhh ;)
[06:36] <slavik_> administrator: in adept, search for it
[06:36] <terayam> esun819:  neither my konqueror or Amarok can connect to the internet, but firefox and others have no problem at all
[06:36] <slavik_> !ask | terayam
[06:36] <ubotu> terayam: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:36] <arrrghhh> james296, hrm... i'm guessing there's no usb floppy or cd rom drives sittin around?
[06:36] <administrator> you mean synaptic?
[06:37] <slavik_> administrator: whatever you use
[06:37] <HorizonXP> hey
[06:37] <esun819> terayam: have you checked your proxy settings?
[06:37] <james296> we couldnt fix the boot partition using floppies so thats why Im wondering if an external HD should work even though the boot partition is removed
[06:37] <HorizonXP> i turned font smoothing on, but in some PDFs, the fonts are all squished together
[06:37] <james296> or would it end up like the flash drive was?
[06:37] <Nutubuntu> administrator, Synaptic is Ubuntu's (the Gnome flavor) gui package manager; adept is in Kubuntu ...
[06:37] <slavik_> james296: so his computer doesn't boot?
[06:38] <slavik_> james296: is it a compaq system?
[06:38] <james296> HP
[06:38] <arrrghhh> james296, you can boot a floppy?
[06:38] <james296> and no his computer doesnt boot
[06:38] <james296> yes
[06:38] <administrator> nutubuntu, are you sure? because I'm in synaptic right now and it came installed
[06:38] <arrrghhh> win98 boot disk
[06:38] <james296> not a USB flash drive though
[06:38] <arrrghhh> bootdisk.com
[06:38] <arrrghhh> james
[06:38] <Nutubuntu> HorizonXP, are the PDFs attempting to use fonts that the box doesn't have installed?
[06:38] <james296> the boot disk doesnt work
[06:38] <arrrghhh> james296, what do you mean...
[06:38] <terayam> esun819: I don't have a proxy and both are set to 'connect directly'
[06:38] <HorizonXP> nutubuntu: eVince didn't complain about that
[06:38] <james296> I need to use his Windows 2000 CD
[06:39] <arrrghhh> james296, no get a win98 boot disk
[06:39] <arrrghhh> bootdisk.com
[06:39] <Sharp_Payne> w00t. I fixed a sound problem by myself. Reading debug guides was a SOUND investment.
[06:39] <administrator> wtf? its not installed? wow wth
[06:39] <Sharp_Payne> I can change my name back now cause I don't risk embarrassment
[06:39] <james296> so thats why Im thinkin maybe if I write the Windows 2000 CD to my external HD and hook it up to his laptop, would it be recognized?
[06:39] <slavik_> administrator: install it :) and make sure it stays installed
[06:39] <mypapit> hmm
[06:39] <administrator> now it wants to install EVERYTHING
[06:39] <arrrghhh> james296, doubt it
[06:39] <slavik_> administrator: you want kubuntu, right?
[06:39] <administrator> from amrok to openoffice
[06:39] <slavik_> administrator: that is the point of the package, it is a meta package ...
[06:39] <arrrghhh> james296, what was wrong with the boot disk?  did you setup the disk correctly?
[06:39] <james296> I already used a Windows 98 boot disk
[06:40] <administrator> I'm following http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4 to build a server
[06:40] <administrator> first off why wasn't kubuntu-desktop installed in the first place
[06:40] <arrrghhh> james296, you should be able to fix the mbr with that...
[06:40] <james296> well he has VERY important information he wants to keep on his computer
[06:40] <james296> the files are still there
[06:40] <james296> it just cant boot
[06:40] <arrrghhh> uhm
[06:40] <HorizonXP> nutubuntu: I just installed msttcorefonts, that fixed it
[06:40] <slavik_> administrator: the guide sucks, they use nano
[06:40] <HorizonXP> thanks for the suggestion
[06:40] <arrrghhh> a win98 boot disk will boot dos
[06:40] <esun819> terayam: hmm.. are you using guarddog or any other firewall? or tor/privoxy?
[06:40] <administrator> nano is a distro?
[06:41] <Dr_willis> !info nano
[06:41] <administrator> !info nano
