[12:02] <Stormx2> M3t0r: sda?
[12:02] <M3t0r> no
[12:03] <vb> clever: I should write a much better tutorial on this than is currently available. :p
[12:03] <Drk_Gu1> M3t0r, to see all the HD's you have, type fstab-l
[12:04] <_joey> what does "alternate" stand for in image name?
[12:04] <Brady> attempting to install CPU Temperature monitor according to their FAQ page http://computertemp.berlios.de/help.php halts at -$Make,
[12:04] <Brady> returns -make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[12:04] <Stormx2> Brady: ./configure
[12:04] <Stormx2> ?
[12:05] <Zambezi> I completely lost it now. What is the name of Ubuntu license?
[12:05] <M3t0r> when i do this there only comes: >
[12:05] <PriceChild> Zambezi, ubuntu has many licenses
[12:05] <PriceChild> Zambezi, parts are gpl, apache2, etc. etc.
[12:05] <kbrooks_> Zambezi, there is no specifiic Ubuntu license.
[12:05] <Zambezi> PriceChild, I mean the general.
[12:06] <scotty> has anyone been able to get albatross18 to work in linux???
[12:06] <PriceChild> Zambezi, there is no general
[12:06] <kbrooks_> Zambezi, but you have to be given the same rights when you get the CD
[12:06] <Zambezi> PriceChild, Packages in general then.
[12:06] <PriceChild> Zambezi, they all have different licenses
[12:06] <_joey> anyone?
[12:06] <Brady> Stormx2: ./configure tells me im pissing a package- pygtk-2.0. however, i am unable to apt-install pygtk-2.0- no such package exists
[12:06] <_joey> which image should I download?
[12:07] <SlimeyPete> zambezi: GPL2 is the most common. But many packages use non-GPL licenses.
[12:07] <_joey> the dvd or the alternate?
[12:07] <kbrooks_> Zambezi, canonical cannot put any further restrictions on the exercise of your rights herein
[12:07] <Stormx2> Brady: it won't be called exactly that, and you'll need a -dev package.
[12:07] <_joey> I don't need all the software on a dvd; it gets outdated quickly
[12:07] <Zambezi> PriceChild, There's a special I'm looking for, but I think SlimeyPete named it.
[12:07] <Stormx2> _joey: Why not just the normal one?
[12:07] <_joey> what's normal?
[12:08] <Stormx2> The CD which isn't alternative/dvd?
[12:08] <kbrooks_> Zambezi, GPLV2? ok. i'll look.
[12:08] <_joey> there aren't others
[12:08] <crunck> Is there any place where the old APT packages for Horay are available? (I'm trying to update my old linux computer with the Warty version trough apt)
[12:08] <Zambezi> kbrooks_, Not sure now. It's not that important. I'm just doing an example on a database.
[12:08] <PriceChild> Zambezi, ubuntu is made of lots of independent bits of software, with independent licenses
[12:08] <kbrooks_> Zambezi, http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/info/GPLv2.html
[12:08] <d2812> What software can I use to extract text from an SWF?  swfstrings doesnt seem to be working for me.
[12:09] <_joey> Stormx2 find the "normal" one in here: http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/
[12:09] <respider> how do I disable asking password in single mode? No one has local access to the machine
[12:09] <_joey> for duo core processor
[12:09] <strtok> respider: don't be silly
[12:09] <strtok> :P
[12:10] <kbrooks_> Zambezi, i was talking about GPLv2 section 6 which says "You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein."
[12:10] <respider> how do I do that, I know I shouldnt
[12:10] <Brady> Stormx2: I need pygtk-*.*, wher can I find a current package name to apt-get?
[12:10] <kbrooks_> Zambezi, among other things
[12:11] <Stormx2> Brady: Can't you just run a search in synaptic?
[12:11] <_joey> anyone? :)
[12:11] <Brady> Stormx2: trying that now
[12:11] <skrypt> How do I rename hard drives?
[12:11] <skrypt> ie. icons on the desktop?
[12:11] <_joey> which "normal" dvd should I download? The name of the image, please :)
[12:12] <Stormx2> _joey: http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/releases/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso
[12:12] <aaron> skrypt: right click?
[12:12] <Zambezi> kbrooks_, I just erase the section and take another example.
[12:12] <teethdood> is there a media center app that would list all movie files that I have in a nice ready to play fashion?
[12:12] <Stormx2> skrypt: You'd need to change the mountpoint.
[12:12] <_joey> Stormx2 the desktop is the live cd
[12:12] <skrypt> Which file is that? I forget.
[12:12] <Stormx2> _joey: Yep.
[12:12] <Luke> In sreen, my backspace doesn't work. I have to use ctrl+h. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[12:12] <Stormx2> _joey: What were you hoping for?
[12:13] <saxonjf> When I try to remove Gaim from using Synaptic, it asks to remove "nautilus-sendto" and "ubuntu" desktop, also... that doesn't sound good
[12:13] <_joey> i don't need it; I need the installation cd
[12:13] <aaron> saxonjf: that's ok.
[12:13] <Stormx2> The live cd is the installation cd o.O
[12:13] <fonzai> Brady: apt-cache search pygtk should also do the trick
[12:13] <_joey> hmm
[12:13] <saxonjf> aaron: are you sure?
[12:13] <bobbob1016> skrypt, open a terminal, and type "sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab-backup" then do "sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[12:13] <aaron> saxonjf: yes.
[12:13] <_joey> strange
[12:13] <Stormx2> _joey: Why strange?
[12:14] <_joey> because, usually installation cd and live cd are used for different purposes
[12:14] <bobbob1016> skrypt, wait
[12:14] <bobbob1016> skrypt, that won't help, it won't hurt though, so just close the window
[12:14] <Stormx2> _joey: Well, ubuntu has been using the live cd as the prefered installation method for over a year now :D
[12:14] <_joey> okay
[12:14] <Stormx2> _joey: I think gentoo does the same.
[12:14] <Stormx2> Well, can do.
[12:14] <_joey> I'd read the installation manual then
[12:14] <matkix> Anyone willing to help with figuring out a wifi and vid card driver issue?
[12:15] <saxonjf> I looked "ubuntu-desktop" up and I think that is almost the last thing I'd ever want to uninstall
[12:15] <matkix> Anyone willing to help with figuring out a wifi and vid card driver issue?
[12:16] <aaron> saxonjf: it just wants to remove a part of it. not all of it. i see it quite often.
[12:16] <bobbob1016> skrypt, wait again, sorry, I haven't done this in a while, that window does help, if you already did "sudo cp..." just do "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" and I think you can rename them in there, look for the one you want to rename, if you want to rename it from HD to HDD for example, look for /media/HD in the list, next to the UID, then change it to what you want to name it, that should do it
[12:16] <Luke> In sreen, my backspace doesn't work. I have to use ctrl+h. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[12:17] <aaron> skrypt: read this. http://www.debuntu.org/device-partition-labeling
[12:18] <serenity> skrypt you need to make the directory aswell
[12:18] <EADG> Luke: check your key bindings in /etc/screenrc
[12:18] <skrypt> lol ok
[12:18] <skrypt> thanks guys :)
[12:18] <bobbob1016> serenity, I wasn't sure on that, I thought it would auto-create it.  I wasn't sure what permissions it would need, so I didn't want him to sudo it
[12:19] <mhz`> hmm,
[12:19] <crunck> I ask again if someone new can help: Is there any place where the old APT packages for Horay are available? (I'm trying to update my old linux computer with the Warty version trough apt)
[12:19] <serenity> yeah have to sudo mkdir x
[12:19] <matkix_> Anyone know anything about wireless cards? Ive red the docs, and am unable to get this thing to work!
[12:19] <Luke> EADG: nothin that I can tell
[12:19] <mhz`> matkix, what kinda wireless card?
[12:19] <aaron> matkix: good luck.
[12:19] <matkix_> mhz`, I don't know... thats part of the problem. Its built in.
[12:19] <jstarcher> how can I use mv to move only files that were modified today?
[12:20] <bobbob1016> serenity, sudo mkdir /media/x right?
[12:20] <mhz`> ahhh, can you boot windows?
[12:20] <skrypt> Actually... this is all too confusing. i've done it before it and it was as simple as editing a single file.
[12:20] <CientificoLoco> is there some game when I cook?
[12:20] <mhz`> shit, what was that command...lspci
[12:20] <matkix_> mhz`,  yes I sure can
[12:20] <mhz`> i think, hang on
[12:20] <matkix_> It won't show it.
[12:20] <John`> for this script: DISPLAY=:0 mplayer -vo gl -ao alsa $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS , how do I make it so that it read file names with space in between?
[12:20] <matkix_> The ubuntu install has no idea what it is...
[12:20] <mhz`> that's not good
[12:20] <mhz`> does it tell you in windows?
[12:20] <skrypt> bobbob1016: thanks. you got it.
[12:20] <matkix_> It can however see wireless networks... but cannot connect to them.
[12:21] <sledgeas> hello
[12:21] <matkix_> Well I have no idea how to tell... ipconfig all ?
[12:21] <mhz`> in your device manager
[12:21] <mhz`> it should list it
[12:21] <serenity> bobbob1016: there is a fashion for /windows recently.. saves typing. i think media is meant for fstab and mnt for temp

[12:21] <mhz`> that's not much help matkix
[12:21] <serenity> bobbob1016:  i also have /boot mounted seperately
[12:21] <matkix_> hahah
[12:21] <matkix_> no realy
[12:21] <matkix_> :P
[12:21] <clever> vb: X needs to run
[12:22] <sledgeas> i have installed Feisty, but it has xserver 2:1.2.0-3ubuntu8; i have only text mode, I need newer xserver (2:1.3.0), what and how repositories should i add to get it ?
[12:22] <CientificoLoco> http://www.ubuntugames.org/ somebody knows if this site was redirecctioned?
[12:22] <vb> clever: right, but no session/window manager starts. :p
[12:22] <bobbob1016> serenity, true, I think I did that too, forgot about it though
[12:22] <matkix_> I have access to my windows partition and might be able to see what driver they have there.... should I do that?
[12:22] <clever> lol
[12:22] <vb> clever: just have to fix this.. hehe
[12:22] <clever> vb: check the man page for vncserver and Xvnc
[12:22] <EADG> Luke: I checked my screenrc, i don't see anything for backspace... not sure what else you can try besides re-installing.
[12:22] <clever> vncserver is a script to run Xvnc
[12:22] <bobbob1016> serenity, now that I think about it, I have boot, home, and root on different partitions, so you were right
[12:22] <EADG> Luke: #screen might have more info.

Could anyone help me
[12:22] <serenity> bobbob1016:  i like the way you can move the /home to it's own partition on linux after install without breaking anything, even change drives
[12:23] <Luke> EADG: i'm trying purging and reisntalling now. I've found and reported bugs on this on LP as well
[12:23] <Luke> EADG: other peopel have been ahving this problem for a year
[12:23] <matkix_> mhz`,  should I look at the drivers for windows see if they give away any of it?
[12:23] <Luke> EADG: #screen is a good diea - thanks
[12:23] <beef> pushpop, check for zombie processes? ps -el | grep 'Z'
[12:23] <scoobydoo28139> where do i get the corect drivers for my new card?
[12:23] <mhz`> matkix at least look for the name/model #
[12:23] <mhz`> from there you can search for ubuntu support
[12:23] <pushpop> beef: ok
[12:23] <matkix_> mhz`,  No luck its a exe file...
[12:24] <bobbob1016> serenity, I didn't know you could do that, makes sense though, I did it for a distro independent home directory, so I can reinstall, or install a different distro
[12:24] <EADG> Luke: what version of screen are you using? I have 4.00.02 loaded.
[12:24] <mhz`> try getting something like driver genius
[12:24] <Luke> EADG: *.03
[12:24] <simplyw00x> hi all, is there a decent handwriting recognition program for linux/ubuntu?

[12:24] <pushpop> beef: didnt list anything, any other ideas?
[12:24] <vb> clever: yeah, I am
[12:24] <Luke> EADG: the maintainer reported old versions being fine and maybe it was newer versions
[12:25] <beef> nothing off top of my head pushpop , thats usually what slows down my system, could be the hard drive on its way out ?
[12:25] <Luke> EADG: reinstalling didnt help =/

[12:43] <LucianSolaris> HELP does anyone have a clue why i have DRI when X starts the first time, but after restarting X i lose DRI (glxinfo | grep rendering - goes from Yes to No)
[12:43] <LucianSolaris> HELP it's a radeon
[12:43] <Stormx2> LucianSolaris: Are you actually running solaris?
[12:43] <LucianSolaris> Stormx2: no
[12:43] <crashanddie> hey guys, me again
[12:43] <pushpop> serenity ?
[12:43] <fevel> hello
[12:43] <Stormx2> LucianSolaris: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers
[12:43] <LucianSolaris> Stormx2: Kubuntu Feisty
[12:43] <Stormx2> crashanddie: uh oh!
[12:43] <fevel> is there a way I could force a drive that wont umount
[12:44] <Stormx2> LucianSolaris: Okay. restricted-manager from a terminal?
[12:44] <Stormx2> fevel: Add -l to the umount command?
[12:44] <LucianSolaris> stormx2: nope (it's the open source driver)
[12:44] <Stormx2> LucianSolaris: There aren't any open source 3d radeon drivers
[12:45] <LucianSolaris> i have my xorg set to radeon, not fglrx
[12:45] <LucianSolaris> and it runs great
[12:45] <crashanddie> We have a broadcom 4306 wifi card, it looks as if it is working all right, but it doesn't see any network ?
[12:45] <serenity> pushpop the way i fixed mine was compile the latest kernel, because it was hogging my CPU, but it's quiet big if you haven't done it before
[12:45] <LucianSolaris> stormx2, then how does radeon render things so well (not fglrx) when in edgy it sucked
[12:45] <pushpop> serenity my cpu usage is at 0 pretty much
[12:46] <LucianSolaris> stormx2 fglrx won't work on my 9000 igp
[12:46] <Stormx2> LucianSolaris: The closed source driver gives you hardware 3d rendering. The FOSS driver won't get you that. Where is the complication?
[12:46] <matkix> Ight, so anyone know how to get a Ralink  RT2571WF to work on ubuntu?
[12:46] <gheeg> any sound experts in the house?  stuck with my audigy2...
[12:47] <Stormx2> !sound | gheeg
[12:47] <ubotu> gheeg: 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
[12:47] <LucianSolaris> stormx2, i don't have the proprietary driver installed, i have the oss one.  the proprietary driver fails to work with my radeon mobility 9000 igp in my laptop
[12:47] <LucianSolaris> stormx2, either all of the sudden the non-working driver works in feisty, or someone fixed my radeon driver
[12:47] <Stormx2> LucianSolaris: Have you tried installing it using restricted-manager?
[12:48] <serenity> pushpop is it every single program .. we need to narrow it down
[12:48] <Tama00> why does nvidia-xconfig conflict with nvidia-glx ??
[12:48] <LucianSolaris> hold on, is the open source driver 'ati' or 'radeon'?
[12:48] <LucianSolaris> stormx2
[12:48] <gheeg> ubotu alsa is selected.  thanks for the pages, i think i've gone through them before.  will check now...
[12:48] <Stormx2> LucianSolaris: I have no idea >.<
[12:48] <Tama00> does anyone see that as a problem lol
[12:49] <matkix> So... anyone willing to help I found that my wifi card is a  RT2571WF, so ideas on how and where to get a working driver?
[12:49] <Pie-rate> WTF. my filesystem keeps getting remounted as readonly. why is it doing this?
[12:49] <LucianSolaris> stormx2, anyway, what causes this (or what's a remedy for): when I start my system up from boot, i have direct rendering.  if i restart X, i don't have direct rendering.  why (and how to fix)?
[12:49] <Pie-rate> it happens after a few minutes running
[12:49] <matkix> !wireless
[12:49] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:50] <Stormx2> LucianSolaris: Poor driver, I guess. How are you restarting X?
[12:50] <LucianSolaris> stormx2: all forms of restart (ctrl+alt+bksp, logout, logout and restart x in kdm, etc)
[12:51] <OuZo> has anyone successfully installed freenet? thanks
[12:51] <Tama00> lol so you guys all think its normal that nvidia-xconfig conflicts with nvidia-glx hhaha
[12:51] <pixelPOET> Tama00: sure... =]
[12:51] <runa> hi can sb help me to configure the touchpad this is my xonf.org : http://pastebin.com/m5c41d928
[12:51] <Stormx2> Tama00: Why not?
[12:52] <matkix> If my wifi card is not working should I install ubuntu 32 bit not 64?
[12:52] <EADG> matkix: Pretty quiet in here atm, try a search at www.ubuntu-forums.org
[12:52] <Tama00> actually now i get it
[12:52] <LucianSolaris> stormx2 should I kill kdm, rmmod drm, and sudo kdm?
[12:52] <Tama00> nvidia-xconfig is out of date and is now included in nvidia-glx already
[12:52] <Stormx2> LucianSolaris: I don't know.
[12:52] <Tama00> what i was after was nvidia-settings
[12:52] <pixelPOET> Tama00: We knew you would.
[12:52] <LucianSolaris> fine...
[12:52] <LucianSolaris> bye
[12:52] <matkix> EADG, So do you think this would resolve it self if I went to 32 bit?
[12:52] <gheeg> thanks again ubotu, finally my audigy2 card is listed as 0 (though i'd set it as default before).  rebooting now
[12:53] <server_> Hi can anybody help me with configuration of xorg.conf with nVidia TV-OUT to an HDTV via component cables and custom modelines?
[12:53] <Tama00> wtf nvidia-settings conflicts with nvidia-glx too
[12:53] <Tama00> damn im so confused now
[12:53] <serenity> Tama00 make sure u ren nvidia-setting with sudo so you can save to xorg.conf file
[12:53] <serenity> run
[12:53] <EADG> matkix: hmm, good question... easy way to check is boot from 32b live cd and see if the card works.
[12:54] <matkix> hahah
[12:54] <matkix> easy eh?
[12:54] <Tama00> okay so nvidia-settings is included as well..
[12:54] <matkix> Takes a bit of a dl
[12:54] <matkix> kk
[12:54] <matkix> will do
[12:54] <pixelPOET> laggg
[12:54] <eifzon> how do i change password of my normal user, not root
[12:54] <EADG> matkix: check the forums also.
[12:54] <serenity> i use nvidia-settings with the drivers from nvidia web site
[12:54] <serenity> like a control pannel for resolutions and dual monitors
[12:55] <Stormx2> Tama00: What exactly are you trying to do here?
[12:55] <pixelPOET> eifzon: passwd 'username'
[12:55] <Tama00> Stormx2, dont worry... i just wanted the gui thing for nvidia settings and its already included
[12:55] <server_> How do you configure xorg.conf for TV-OUT with component cables and a custom modeline / resolution?
[12:56] <b0ef> ehlo
[12:56] <b0ef> trying to help out a friend with an ubuntu dapper box; is apt-get and aptitude not available in recovery mode?
[12:57] <eifzon> Why do i get this error when i am trying to install openoffice? E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[12:57] <Tama00> i got a history question, is X called X because of Xerox?
[12:58] <serenity> it came out of MIT i think?
[12:58] <SlimeyPete> eifzon: look further up the screen, see if there were any previous errors
[12:58] <Tama00> hmm
[12:59] <serenity> jordan_ do you have nvidia?
[12:59] <Whosits> I'm getting an error at login telling me that there is no space left on the device - I'm certain that the space exists. I had a similar error last night when compiling a program and it tried to use the /tmp/ directory for some automatically generated files - but that error was only halting compilation, not general system usage. Running the compiler as root fixed the issue - so I'm thinking that I may just need to adjust permissions on
[12:59] <Whosits> I'm on 7.04 FF
[01:00] <pushpop> serenity: Yes, its every program
[01:00] <vandle> hey, does anyone here have a bcm43xx wireless card?
[01:00] <Stormx2> Whosits: The device in question... your /?
[01:00] <vandle> I can see wireless networks and connect to them, but for some reason I cannot view sites on the web
[01:01] <Stormx2> Tama00: No, it isn't. I think it's called X because a previous windowing system was called W, or something
[01:01] <Whosits> I'm actually not entirely sure. I don't remember it specifying _what_ device.
[01:01] <vandle> I can't see my own wireless network, but I can view others
[01:01] <Whosits> I'm relatively certain it didn't clearly specify that. I would've copied it, but I had to login using my LiveCD
[01:01] <mabious> howdy i have problems heh
[01:01] <Tama00> Stormx2, so the next windows system will be called y :D
[01:02] <optimusrex> Hi. Can anyone tell me how to run adept as root or through kdesu or sudo programs to be able to perform changes and installations?
[01:02] <serenity> Whosits tmp permission should be sudo chmod 1777 .tmp
[01:02] <serenity> Whosits sorry i mean slash not dot  tmp permission should be sudo chmod 1777 /tmp
[01:02] <jrib> optimusrex: adept should run with proper privileges when you click on the icon in the menu
[01:02] <Stormx2> Tama00: Not really, X is pretty well established. Note that you're not actually using X, you're using X.org, which is a fork of X.
[01:02] <mabious> so my buddy tells me to install ubuntu so i boot up the disk and click install but the Guided Resize option is giving me an error
[01:03] <Whosits> okay, so running that in a terminal session should upgrade my account's permissions?
[01:03] <serenity> Whosits that will make /tmp wrxwrxwrx for all users
[01:03] <Whosits> ah, very good
[01:03] <Tama00> Stormx2, isnt it a fork of X11
[01:03] <serenity> Whosits happened to me the other day
[01:03] <pushpop> serenity any other ideas for me = )
[01:03] <pushpop> hahah
[01:03] <skollie> mabious: what is the error?
[01:03] <mabious> one sec lemmie look
[01:04] <Whosits> I'll try that.  Thank you.
[01:04] <optimusrex> jrib, I clicked the icon but it starts up and says that I need special admin priveleges to perform installations, etc
[01:04] <Whosits> I'll be back one way or another to let you know how it turned out.
[01:04] <serenity> Whosits you can check permissions running    ls -al
[01:04] <Stormx2> Tama00: Uhg, whatever... I forget
[01:04] <jrib> optimusrex: what is the output of this command in the terminal:  groups
[01:04] <Tama00> :P
[01:04] <skollie> optimusrex: does it ask you for your password?
[01:05] <Tama00> Stormx2, but maybe it was called W because of Xerox..
[01:05] <godofredo> How Can I Install A Basic tar.gz? (warsow) - - -
[01:05] <jrib> godofredo: you try to avoid it.  What do you want to install?
[01:05] <serenity> pushpop sorry we need to narrow down the problem.. is it _every_ program?
[01:05] <godofredo> jrib, warsow.net
[01:05] <godofredo> jrib, game :)
[01:06] <optimusrex> when I start it up it shows a dialogue box that gives the message but there is no request for a password just an ok button
[01:06] <Stormx2> Tama00: Actually, there wasn't a W. I'm thinking of B/C. Anyway, why would it be because of Xerox?
[01:06] <jrgotti> godofredo: tar -zxvf 'program' / cd 'program'/ ./configure / sudo make / sudo make install
[01:06] <jrib> godofredo: ah, well you'll either have to compile it or just copy over a binary.  If you need to compile, see ubotu's message:
[01:06] <eifzon> SlimeyPete: ok
[01:06] <jrib> !compile > godofredo
[01:06] <LeoStewart> Does anyone know how to click once to select all text in the address bar in Firefox?
[01:06] <Torahteen> Hey, is it possible to install xubuntu over ubuntu?
[01:06] <Torahteen> Hmm... that didn't sound right
[01:06] <Tama00> Stormx2, because Xerox the now photocoping company was the first place they invented the GUI
[01:06] <PurpZeY> Torahteen: Yes. it is.
[01:06] <Torahteen> I have ubuntu, with GNOME on a rather slow computer
[01:07] <jrib> Torahteen: you can install xubuntu-desktop and have both ubuntu and xubuntu
[01:07] <Torahteen> And would rather have xfce
[01:07] <rolfen> Torahteen: you can modify your ubuntu install so that it becomes virtually xubuntu
[01:07] <PurpZeY> Torahteen: They are exactly the same. Xubuntu just has xfe instead...so just install the package and you're good to go
[01:07] <eifzon> SlimeyPete: Updating fontconfig cache...
[01:07] <mabious> waiting for error to come up the resizing partition is
[01:07] <eifzon> /usr/share/fonts: failed to write cache
[01:07] <eifzon> /usr/share/fonts/X11: failed to write cac
[01:07] <eifzon> SlimeyPete: much more then that
[01:07] <Tama00> Stormx2, thats right it was Apple or Microsoft
[01:07] <mabious> hmm ok i think im an idiot
[01:07] <mabious> might be working now lol
[01:07] <Torahteen> So just install xfce?
[01:07] <serenity> LeoStewart I do triple click
[01:07] <Sharpshooter> in upstart how do i do init 2
[01:07] <jrib> Torahteen: "xubuntu-desktop" is the package you want
[01:07] <Torahteen> Ok
[01:07] <Torahteen> ty
[01:07] <Torahteen> :D
[01:07] <rolfen> Torahteen: that's what i did... you just install xfce from synaptic, make it the default window manager, and changer the login screen graphics
[01:07] <LeoStewart> But is there anyway of only have to click once to select the text like in Windows?
[01:08] <jrib> Torahteen: 2 is the default runlevel and runlevels 2-5 are identical by default
[01:08] <Torahteen> Umm... jrib, I think you're talking to someone else
[01:08] <jrib> Torahteen: indeed, sorry :)
[01:08] <Torahteen> XD NP :P
[01:08] <jrib> Sharpshooter: 2 is the default runlevel and runlevels 2-5 are identical by default
[01:09] <mabious> wow an indicator on the slider would help a ton
[01:09] <Sharpshooter> how do i get in a single user runlevel on a running box w/o restarting
[01:09] <jrib> Sharpshooter: why?
[01:09] <Stormx2> Tama00: The GUI is an evolutionary thing. No one "invented" it.
[01:09] <Sharpshooter> to restart most of my services.
[01:09] <optimusrex> jrib, I don't know if I answered your question but I only get a single dialogue box without a request for a password
[01:09] <Sharpshooter> dont want to reboot
[01:09] <rolfen> Sharpshooter: i think it's telinit 1
[01:09] <jrib> optimusrex: what is the output of this command in the terminal:  groups
[01:09] <Sharpshooter> k
[01:10] <Tama00> Stormx2, nar actually Xerox did :P and microsoft and apple both claimed they did and sued each other for ages over it then they finally discovered that they both copied xerox (yes they actualyl went there and saw it from xerox) and xerox said they didnt want to sue anyone over it
[01:11] <optimusrex> Jrib, the command just returns me to the root where I started
[01:11] <bluefox83> ok..i can only get the wobbly windows and the window decorator i want to work in compiz..anyone know why?
[01:12] <bluefox83> the water affects, the cube...nothing seems to work
[01:12] <Stormx2> Tama00: That is a very absolutist view. As I previously said, no one invented the GUI we know today. It was an evolution involving many companies/individuals.
[01:12] <serenity> ok LeoStewart are you still there?
[01:12] <killaz> I'm thinking about buying a new gfx card. Can I just change the card and ubuntu will recognize that the old card has been replaced?
[01:12] <Stormx2> Tama00: It's like asking who invented the internet. The people who made TCP/IP? HTTP? Copper cable?
[01:13] <jrib> optimusrex: ok, if there is no output, that means you are not in any groups.  Most importantly, you are not in the "admin" group, which gives you the ability to use sudo.  You should restart, choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu and then issue this command: adduser YOUR_USERNAME admin  .  After that, reboot and sudo should work.  Then add yourself to any other groups you want
[01:13] <killaz> should I run something to reconfigure the hardware?
[01:13] <Tama00> Stormx2, yeah but who came up with the idea for the internet was the inventor
[01:14] <optimusrex> Thanks jrib. I will try that right now.
[01:14] <gordonjcp> Stormx2: there was a windowing system called W
[01:14] <gordonjcp> Stormx2: I can't remember who did it though, but it was very very very very early on
[01:14] <Stormx2> Tama00: Again, an over simplification. Who came up with the idea that two transistors can interact? Who came up with the idea of connecting one computer to another? The idea of the HTTP protocol etc.
[01:15] <Stormx2> gordonjcp: Yeah. Early 80s I think? I was right woot! :D

[01:15] <Tinned_Tuna> that's the polite way of saying

[01:15] <chris__> why do i see a purple line where my video should be?

[01:16] <PurpZeY> chris__: What kind of video?
[01:16] <dissection> Hello, anyone here uses fs-driver to access your ext3 partitions in Windows XP? Or is there something better that you'd suggest? It says it has read/write access but I need to find out if it can disable write access, before I install it.
[01:16] <chris__> if i move it it works..., then if i move it again it stops..., all kinds...., and could it be beryl?
[01:16] <PurpZeY> dissection: NTFS read only allows read...Might be a better way to go
[01:17] <PurpZeY> chris__: Are you using VLC?
[01:17] <chris__> totem
[01:17] <rolfen> dissection: the default driver that is bundled with ubuntu supports read access (afaik). if you want write access you can install ntfs3g
[01:17] <chris__> vlc locks up my computer
[01:17] <pushpop> Hello All, I have an issue with my Ubuntu machine I just recently installed it.  I loaded my desktop with the desired applications I want to use, then I rebooted... since reboot my system runs like crap it takes several seconds for an app to launch, it is a beefy system with 4gb of memory and a dual core.  Could anyone offer me assistance = )
[01:17] <dissection> PurpZeY, rolfen: No, I mean accessing ext3 in Windows, not NTFS on Linux.
[01:17] <PurpZeY> chris__: What you need to do is change the video output type to x11. It is caused by beryl, but that will fix it. I'm not sure if this can be done in totem...I don't know...I did it in VLC for the same problem.
[01:17] <kefas_> Hello someone can help me I want to share the Internet with the computer of my sister buy a router but not since(as,like) my PC forms it it(he,she) has ubuntu and that of my sister cherry trees

[01:18] <Stormx2> pushpop: open up gnome-system-monitor - see what's killing your CPU.
[01:18] <chris__> how do i do it in vlc?
[01:18] <pushpop> Stormx2: cpu is around 0% ysage
[01:18] <darkgarage> Hello, first time in here.  Got a question about video drivers.  Anyone know where I can download a pre-compiled driver for the Intel 855 graphics adapter?
[01:18] <bruenig> dissection, fs-driver.org
[01:18] <dissection> bruenig: Yes thats what I'm talking about. But can it disable write access?
[01:18] <bruenig> dissection, you would need to consult that or ask in ##windows
[01:19] <PurpZeY> chris__: Preferences --> Turn on advanced options --> It will be there..Change to x11
[01:19] <dissection> Okay, I'm there ;]
[01:19] <PurpZeY> chris__: under video.
[01:19] <chris__> thanks!!!

[01:23] <serenity> Agiofws i wuould use xubuntu with the xfce desktop or even flusxbox
[01:23] <trickwire> though maybe, I should add that the problem lays with the driver of the card ? I mean, when I do a iwlist scanning, it says no results, but I have a computer next to mine which is connected to wifi, and if I'm under Windows it runs fine !
[01:23] <chris__> PurpZeY, thanks anyways, anyone know if gutsy will ship with cnr?
[01:24] <serenity> Agiofws you would have to install textmode from alternatecd LiveCD need more ram
[01:24] <hypertyper> can anyone give me newbish instructions on how to play a dvd with my new ubuntu 7.04 desktop install?
[01:24] <trickwire> so, easy answer: use ndiswrapper, but I just wanted to know if there was an easy fix
[01:24] <lerc__> uh oh.  getting assertion errors on add/rmove applications.

[01:26] <PurpZeY> nigglet: It should come up when you right click on nm-applet
[01:26] <bruenig> chris__, this is your best shot, people are too busy writing documentation on their crappy blogs in attempts to get hits

[01:26] <andrew____> Im having trouble setting up my broadcom wireless device
[01:26] <jrib> chris__: help.ubuntu.com  should take you to all the docs
[01:26] <godofredo> bruenig, have it
[01:26] <bruenig> nigglet, networkmanager, it should be an applet on the panel
[01:26] <PurpZeY> nigglet: nm-applet is the little network manager
[01:26] <gordonjcp> godofredo: yeah, loads
[01:26] <bruenig> godofredo, well you can't get much better than that
[01:27] <PurpZeY> Frets on fire?
[01:27] <gordonjcp> godofredo: didn't you ask that earlier?
[01:27] <Augi> is there any way to make the resolution bigger than 800 x 600?

[01:27] <godofredo> gordonjcp, ideally another fps
[01:27] <andrew____> thanks
[01:27] <bruenig> godofredo, if propaganda is your fix
[01:27] <ant___> there is a factiod just for broadcom
[01:27] <PurpZeY> andrew____: There is a ton of info on BCM wireless on the forums, a ton.
[01:27] <chris__> !info cnr
[01:28] <ant___> i forgot what it was
[01:28] <ubuntu__> Where is the USP forum anyway?
[01:28] <Augi> is there any way to make the resolution bigger than 800 x 600?
[01:28] <ant___> !bcm43xx
[01:28] <gordonjcp> godofredo: presumably it's pretty good, since it's based on the Quake3 engine as I understand it
[01:28] <ubotu> Package cnr does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[01:28] <godofredo> gordonjcp, i think that nexuiz is a little weird though

[01:28] <ant___> ah ha!
[01:28] <gordonjcp> godofredo: RTCW: Enemy Territory is pretty sweet
[01:28] <chris__> on bcm43xx i find ndiswrapper works the best :D
[01:28] <godofredo> gordonjcp, my fav so far
[01:28] <gordonjcp> godofredo: nexuiz *is* weird, tremulous is good
[01:28] <gordonjcp> you need biggish teams for it to work well though
[01:28] <Augi> is there any way to make the resolution bigger than 800 x 600?
[01:28] <andrew____> yeah ive read alot of it
[01:28] <Evan_> Installed windows wireless drivers using ndiswrapper; In network settings, my access point shows up, I can set the WEP key, but when I try to access the wireless, it is not there.
[01:28] <andrew____> when I input the last line or so
[01:29] <andrew____> i get a permission denied
[01:29] <godofredo> gordonjcp, i think that that deathmatch genre is a little weird
[01:29] <gordonjcp> godofredo: you can get Linux native ports of all the UT-based games too
[01:29] <chris__> anyone know why when i use bcm43xx-fwcutter + my firmware it won't work i get really ***** speed and yeah...., but when i use ndiswrapper it works perfect?
[01:29] <PurpZeY> andrew____: Use sudo

[01:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mod_rewrite - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[01:29] <Greyscale> sigh
[01:29] <coraxx> I dont get eny audio when I try to run movies anyone know what I can do? ( new to linux)
[01:29] <Greyscale> someone know how to install mod rewrite?
[01:29] <PurpZeY> chris__: B/C ndiswrapper is using a better driver...it's really a more specific way to do it
[01:29] <gordonjcp> godofredo: it's a shame that the HL series weren't ported, but they run in Wine

[01:30] <PurpZeY> coraxx: Are you getting sound in other applications?
[01:30] <godofredo> gordonjcp, true :)
[01:30] <gordonjcp> godofredo: I'm still a huge fan of the original Quake
[01:30] <Stormx2> chris__: Who was that for?
[01:30] <chris__> how come in kubuntu my function keys for my music (start, stop, next, back, etc) work, but not in ubuntu

[01:30] <chris__> Stormx2, i was wondering what it would say :)
[01:31] <Stormx2> chris__: They're probably window manager based.
[01:31] <bruenig> chris__, I recommend using xbindkeys and configuring it to run whatever commands you need run with those commands
[01:31] <coraxx> ok thx
[01:31] <bruenig> with those keys*
[01:31] <Stormx2> chris__: oh, and /msg ubotu

[01:32] <chris__> lighting real ones on fire???
[01:32] <gordonjcp> godofredo: yeah, kind of ;-)
[01:32] <godofredo> chris__, its like guitar hero but with f1-f4 and enter
[01:32] <IndyGunFreak> gordonjcp: what game did you try?
[01:33] <nn-laptop> akos, i fixed this by updateing the system install or update alsa also might help
[01:33] <PurpZeY> godofredo: If you like fretsonfire I'd recommend stepmania
[01:33] <chris__> i don't like guitar hero lol, i cant get the dang notes right.....\
[01:33] <akos> nn-laptop, i just did a dist-upgrade
[01:33] <gordonjcp> IndyGunFreak: all the Quakes, including all the mission packs for Q1 and Q2, RTCW, RTCW:ET which I play quite often, Unreal, UT, UT2003, tremulous, nexuiz, cube, sauerbraten...
[01:33] <chris__> will the next ubuntu have a upgrade tool?
[01:34] <serenity> chris__ try System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts
[01:34] <IndyGunFreak> gordonjcp: oh ok.
[01:34] <gordonjcp> chris__: they all do
[01:34] <chris__> not if i run the live cd :P
[01:34] <chris__> it wants to erase meh hd....
[01:34] <gordonjcp> chris__: that's because you don't have a running installation
[01:34] <nn-laptop> akos, have you run alsa-config ?
[01:34] <chris__> i did....
[01:34] <madmax> can anyone here help me with an xorg.conf problem?
[01:35] <akos> uh... i think so... lemme run it again

[01:36] <madmax> I'm having a problem getting a 3rd monitor connected to a 2nd video card to operate in feisty.  No matter what I change, based on my research, the best I can do is to get the two monitors attached to the first video card to work
[01:36] <cloud> Does anyone have flash mx or 8 working through wine?
[01:37] <Greyscale> cloud, yeah
[01:37] <Greyscale> it works quite nicely, thanks.

[01:38] <steve99_> fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!! <-- With native and wine game
[01:38] <akos> alsa-base is already the newest version.
[01:38] <akos> nn-laptop,

[01:39] <bruenig> pushpop, chown
[01:39] <pushpop-> thanks
[01:39] <andrew____> alright thanks

[01:40] <steve99_> i tried manual too, tried alot of different ways...
[01:40] <madmax> steve99:  you are using ATI binary drivers then?
[01:40] <chris__> how does the edubuntu do the network boot?
[01:40] <steve99_> madmax,  im pretty sure

[01:43] <retour> Hallo all! Is it a way to execute install process from Ubuntu CD without leting it start in Live mode? I have only 128MB of RAM on the machine I want to install it on and I think the only difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu is display manager so I want to save myselve a hassle of downloading whole Xubuntu CD if this option would be posibble.

But I can log into consoles and log on as a root (if I know default root pass) and hopefully execute install script (if known) Its just my guess but I think it douable. Besides c'mon ITS LINUX hehe
[01:47] <madmax> I think I've got my xorg.conf file close, but I'm missing something to get the last monitor working and I dont know what, can anyone take a look at my xorg.conf and help me out?
[01:48] <kbrooks_> andrew____, "sudo cat $conffile" works, and runs that. but "sed -e '...' > $confile" does not work because that command is ran as a user.
[01:48] <kbrooks_> andrew____, not as root
[01:48] <nigglet> ok how do i make my 80211 connect to the network without crypt
[01:48] <andrew____> oh so I need sudo cat again?
[01:48] <kbrooks_> andrew____, no
[01:49] <kbrooks_> andrew____, it is in a pipe, whose commands are *executed seperately*
[01:49] <sleeper> anyone know how to install the gnome themes
[01:49] <andrew____> whats to be changed then? sorry for my noobishness
[01:50] <kbrooks_> andrew____, sudo sed -i -e '...' $conffile works without the cat. replace '..' with the regex, and then show me the full command, including the modification i just suggested
[01:50] <madmax> sleeper: 'sudo apt-get install gnome-themes
[01:50] <sleeper> I went to art.gnome.org/themes to download the themes
[01:50] <jrib> sleeper: system -> prefrences -> themes
[01:50] <madmax> or.. that
[01:50] <sleeper> and it says just to drag it into the theme manager
[01:50] <madmax> =)
[01:50] <sleeper> but it keeps giving me that the format is invali
[01:51] <madmax> sleeper: have you tried the command line method?
[01:51] <FuzzyGhost> Heya
[01:51] <kbrooks_> andrew____, INCLUDING the "for" stuff
[01:51] <sleeper> madmax how would I do that?
[01:51] <jrib> sleeper: if you're dragging a tar.gz into it, then it either is not a theme or was improperly created.  In the latter case, extract the tar.gz and look for a README
[01:51] <sleeper> what's the coolest GUI thing I could do with linux?
[01:52] <madmax> sleeper:  open a command prompt and type 'sudo apt-get install gnome-themes'
[01:52] <andrew____> what is the regex?
[01:52] <jrib> !effects | sleeper
[01:52] <ubotu> sleeper: For help or discussion on Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[01:52] <elpha> sleeper: compiz
[01:52] <godofredo> IndyGunFreak, Is There Any Way To See How Much Bandwidth Is Being Used By An Entire Network?
[01:52] <kbrooks_> andrew____, the thing passed to -e in the command that you copied and pasted above
[01:52] <FuzzyGhost> I'm trying to install better drivers for an onboard ATi gpu, following the unofficial guide, and it tells me to use the deb command in terminal, but terminal tells me that it doesn't understand deb.
[01:53] <andrew____> can you give me the full comand that i must type in please?
[01:53] <systemd0wn> QUESTION, trying to get my ATI x1600 to work with dual monitors, (with closed source drivers) doesn't seem to matter what tutorial i use.
[01:53] <madmax> I'm having trouble getting a multi monitor config to work properly.  Can anyone help me?
[01:53] <kbrooks_> godofredo, Not Necessary To Type Like this
[01:53] <bulmer> FuzzyGhost: deb commands are like dpkg and apt-get
[01:53] <godofredo> kbrooks_, sorry habit...
[01:53] <kbrooks_> andrew____, i can't, you'd confuse it
[01:53] <godofredo> kbrooks_, not sure why :) but it is..
[01:54] <FuzzyGhost> I understand apt-get, I can't remember if I've used dpkg though.
[01:54] <kbrooks_> FuzzyGhost, apt-get is a downloading frontend to dpkg
[01:54] <\Ben> hi guys - is anyone able to give me a hand setting up my wireless belkin f5d7050 with ubuntu? I have folllowd the guide online and ubuntu is recognizing the decice. i can assign ip address. under network tools it shows its transmitting but when i do a "iwconfig" it doesnt show my network. The light on the usb wireless is flashing all the time.
[01:54] <FuzzyGhost> Okay.
[01:54] <CO2Games> How do I install ubuntu in a folder rather than the root?
[01:54] <retour> When I press Esc on the Ubuntu CD 1-st welcome screen with options it dumpes me into text mode with boot:  command line. What to input there to make it start HDD install instead of Live CD full graphical desktop install?
[01:54] <godofredo> Jordan_U, AFK ? :)
[01:55] <elpha> retour: you need the alternate install Cd
[01:55] <bulmer> Ben what was the option you used for iwconfig ?
[01:55] <kbrooks_> FuzzyGhost, that uses repos, handles deps, etc
[01:55] <jrib> CO2Games: what OS are you using?
[01:55] <CO2Games> Windows XP
[01:55] <CO2Games> I want to dual boot
[01:55] <Jordan_U> godofredo, Why not? :)
[01:55] <FuzzyGhost> That I understand, if it doesn't find the package or repository, it can't do anything.
[01:56] <kbrooks_> FuzzyGhost, correct
[01:56] <\Ben> bulmer, option? i just typed iwconfig... its showing my device in there but ESSID:off/any - and no mac address of the network its connecting to
[01:56] <godofredo> Jordan_U, I run a server off of my network, and i was wondering how much bandwidth i was using? Is there an app to trace that
[01:56] <jrib> CO2Games: there's a difference between dual boot and installing in a folder.  I'll have ubotu send you dual boot instructions, but you could also use some virtualization solution on windows xp to actuall install ubuntu to a folder (ask ##windows for more info about your options on XP)
[01:56] <PurpZeY> Can someone point in the direction of installing Azureus? I hear that the version from the repos is poor
[01:56] <andrew____> so you want "sudo cat $conffile | sed -i -e 's/RadioState|1/RadioState|0/' > 4 conffile" to be entered correct?
[01:56] <jrib> !dualboot  > CO2Games
[01:57] <kbrooks_> andrew____, no
[01:57] <bulmer> Ben also look at iwlist
[01:57] <con_gone> !dualboot | CO2games

[01:57] <\Ben> ok
[01:57] <andrew____> no?
[01:57] <kbrooks_> andrew____, i gave you a version of the command that works without the unnecessary cat. also, note the "4" typo
[01:57] <jrib> PurpZeY: try the version in the repos first... if there is a problem you should file a bug so that it gets fixed
[01:58] <kbrooks_> andrew____, please make sure that you don't just type the command by itself
[01:58] <Jordan_U> godofredo, I am sure there are but I can't recommend any off hand
[01:58] <andrew____> yeah i noticed the 4. so i can just edit out the cat as well and then run it?
[01:58] <Cairna> Anybody have any ideas as to why my headset doesn't work with ubuntu? :/
[01:58] <kbrooks_> andrew____, DONT TYPE THE COMMAND BY ITSELF
[01:58] <Cairna> Kind of at a loss.
[01:58] <godofredo> Jordan_U, k thx
[01:58] <elpha> hey ubuntu people, I'm trying to get the usb ports on my monitor (dell 2007fp) to work, and I'm finding nothing googling. anyone have suggestion where i should start looking for a solution?
[01:59] <kbrooks_> andrew____, it is wrapped within a for loop. also, -i needs a $conffile after the -e option
[01:59] <Whosits> I was here a little while ago about a login issue on a 7.04 system, where I get an error at login telling me there is no space left on the device
[01:59] <andrew____> so.....run it inside the "for conffile......do"?
[01:59] <\Ben> bulmer, is it possible to set the channel in the interface file?
[01:59] <akos> nn-laptop, it turns out my scard is working but only halfly... sound quality is terrible, and works only if i plug in headphones
[01:59] <Whosits> forgive me for the dump post:

[01:59] <FuzzyGhost> If I understand correctly, is deb a command that is not a core part of Ubuntu?
[02:00] <retour> elpha: Thank You! Looks like I have start download.
[02:00] <madmax> I'm having a problem enabling a 3rd monitor, I've tried several suggestions and howto's and I still havent been able to get it working.
[02:00] <Whosits> jrib: ah, that would've been smarter. I wasn't sure if we had one going for general use, or not.
[02:00] <kbrooks_> andrew____, not inside that code fragment, specifically. but replace the main code which uses sed inside the loop with the better command i gave you
[02:00] <elpha> retour: np!
[02:00] <ariks> xrandr seg faults on me when I added xinerama to my xorg.conf
[02:00] <jrib> Whosits: to fix your issue, hit ctrl-alt-f1 and login, delete some stuff so you can get some space (sudo apt-get clean  should probably give you enough).  Then hit ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to X
[02:00] <bulmer> FuzzyGhost: redhat and suse  uses rpm   ubuntu uses dpkg
[02:00] <madmax> The device listing in my xorg.conf is correct afaik, but it still isnt working
[02:00] <kbrooks_> FuzzyGhost, apt-get needs dpkg
[02:00] <\Ben> bulmer- ah found it - cheers wireless-channel funnyilly enough.
[02:00] <Whosits> jrib: I've got plenty of space
[02:01] <andrew____> i understand i have to run it in the loop.
[02:01] <andrew____> so what is the total line that i must run within the loop?
[02:01] <andrew____> can you just edit my one above and give it to me?
[02:01] <Whosits> more than 5 GB free for my /home partition, and more than 3 for my root
[02:01] <kbrooks_> andrew____, link me to the guide
[02:01] <FuzzyGhost> Okay
[02:01] <kbrooks_> andrew____, which you used
[02:01] <madmax> xorg.conf is located: http://pastebin.com/m6a0b660b
[02:01] <kbrooks_> andrew____, for ndiswrapprt
[02:02] <Cairna> Any idea as to why my headset ain't workin'?
[02:02] <genesis> hello!!
[02:02] <kbrooks_> andrew____, ndiswrapper
[02:02] <andrew____> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25683
[02:02] <kbrooks_> !hi | genesis
[02:02] <retour> What should I use for PIII400Mhz machine with 128MB of RAM? Alternate CD and go with GNOME into same installation as Ubuntu from LiveCD or Xubuntu? But is Xubuntu desktop user friendly and configurable??? On Ubuntu I've installed Fluxbox from repos but default install is completely RAW (was expecting same apps entries as Ubuntu has ubder Gnome
[02:02] <ubotu> genesis: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:02] <IndyGunFreak> retour: xubuntu is very user friendly.
[02:03] <Whosits> jrib: any other ideas?
[02:03] <bulmer> retour try them both, and see if you get the feel of it
[02:03] <kbrooks_> andrew____, i assume you have done ndiswrapper -m, no?
[02:03] <IndyGunFreak> retour: i'd use the alternate xubuntu cd on that one(believe it only requires 64mb Ram)
[02:03] <andrew____> yes. evey step up to the loop worked fine.
[02:03] <serenity> retour xubuntu you get a row of icons along bottom like a mac, also thunar file manager which is like a simpler nautilus
[02:04] <Whosits> serenity, I don't know if you remember me from about an hour ago
[02:04] <serenity> yes
[02:04] <jrib> Whosits: google looks promising but I'm on 56k so give me a few minutes :)
[02:04] <retour> Err I would love to try everything personally for best feel but my download speed is crappy. 6-8 hrs for 1 700MB CD and is completed succesfully after 1-st time IF I'm lucky
[02:04] <IndyGunFreak> xubuntu is pretty similar to Gnome, if you ask me..., cosmetically anyways, i'm sure under the hood there's differences
[02:05] <Whosits> serenity, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30059/plain/ is my error message
[02:05] <IndyGunFreak> retour: then i'd use the alternate Xubuntu CD, its about 99.9% to work, Live CD's can be picky about some hardware, etc.
[02:05] <Whosits> and jrib, I can google, thank you for your effort
[02:05] <kbrooks_> andrew____, for conffile in ...; do (newline) sudo sed -i -e 's/RadioState|1/RadioState|0/' $conffile (newline) done
[02:05] <retour> Serenity Indy - I mostly expect any desktop manager so I can create my own entries icons etc
[02:06] <IndyGunFreak> retour: ok, i don't see why you couldnt create your own entries on an xubuntu desktop(at least I have)
[02:06] <kbrooks_> andrew____, (newline)  = press enter. also, replace "..." by /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5/*.conf
[02:06] <jrib> Whosits: make sure  df -h  really says that you have free space.  I don't see what else would cause it
[02:06] <dbarcena> does anyone know the quickest/easiest way to get my linksys wmp54g (v4) wireless card working on this os?
[02:06] <retour> Sounds good so to be sure I'm downloading right thing its name is XUBUNTU ALTERNATE CD.ISO?
[02:07] <FuzzyGhost> Okay, well, how can I get the bash to find the deb command?
[02:07] <IndyGunFreak> retour: thats what i would do.
[02:07] <dbarcena> i checked online already, but it doesnt make much sense to me
[02:07] <jrib> FuzzyGhost: what are you trying to do?
[02:08] <dbarcena> im trying to connect to my personal wireless network
[02:08] <andrew____> right. so it finished, asked for my password, and then did nothing.
[02:08] <andrew____> did it work?
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> retour: also i'd make sure you download the current version(Feisty Fawn), and not Dapper or Edgy, and also make sure you down the 32bit version
[02:08] <bulmer> FuzzyGhost: man dpkg
[02:08] <retour> Indy - Thank you! And another question is do we have other repos than the ones predefined by Ubuntu during install?
[02:08] <FuzzyGhost> Okay, I think I found the problem, I needed to update my sources list
[02:09] <FuzzyGhost> I thought that I needed to type deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org feisty main into terminal
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> retour: you'll add repos and what not depeding on what you wan tto install, after your system is installed.
[02:09] <FuzzyGhost> Sorry about that
[02:09] <puff> is there another browser besides firefox in the ubuntu apt servers?
[02:09] <puff> I can't seem to find one.
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> retour: did you catch what i said about making sure you download the i386 alternate iso, and not the 64bit?
[02:09] <bulmer> lynx ?
[02:10] <sfreak> opera
[02:10] <puff> Full-fledged browsre, yeah.
[02:10] <jrib> puff: epiphany-browser, dillo, konqueror, kazehakase
[02:10] <retour> Indy: Yes but do we have a list of different repos with whats there. Even if not officialy supported by Ubuntu but will work as its debian or some smart converter from other distro repos like rpm to deb etc?
[02:10] <puff> jrib: which one's best? :-)
[02:11] <serenity> Whosits what does it say for df -h
[02:11] <retour> Indy: Yes I fully understand old and modern processors architecture (within limits of advanced user - not hardware developer)
[02:11] <gord> try them and see for yourself puff
[02:11] <jrib> puff: epiphany is the default GNOME browser, Konqueror is default for kde, and dillo and kazehakase are pretty light browsers.  I like epiphany
[02:11] <IndyGunFreak> retour: ok..
[02:11] <puff> jrib: web browsers?
[02:12] <jrib> puff: yep
[02:12] <chris__> when will cnr be in ubuntu?
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> jrib: why don't they put ephiphany in the default gnome installs?
[02:12] <retour> So far on this machine is Damn Small Linux and this thing is smoking wires BUT difficult for me to manage and install stuff even with help of its synaptic
[02:13] <jrib> IndyGunFreak: it's been debated.  I think the big argument for firefox is that a lot of windows users will be familiar with it already
[02:13] <IndyGunFreak> jrib: makes sense.
[02:13] <puff> jrib: Thanks.
[02:13] <flowbot> I installed xubuntu feisty last night, and after trying to adduser, I no longer have any groups :( ... is there an easy way to get groups back?
[02:13] <IndyGunFreak> retour: yeah, DSL is a good distro, but its not for everyone.
[02:14] <r2d4> I see a lot these messages in my dmesg
[02:14] <r2d4> [66338.756000]  parport0: FIFO is stuck
[02:14] <r2d4> [66338.800000]  parport0: BUSY timeout (1) in compat_write_block_pio
[02:14] <r2d4> What does that mean?
[02:14] <philsf> ?
[02:14] <jrib> flowbot: use the 'adduser' or 'usermod' commands is the easiest way I know
[02:14] <philsf>  /ehelp
[02:14] <flowbot> jrib, to add a user, or to get groups back?
[02:15] <jrib> flowbot: adduser foo bar    adds the user "foo" to the group "bar"
[02:15] <systemd0wn> Question, now that i have dual monitors working is it possible to get gnome to wrap the toolbars across both of them?
[02:15] <archoniam> Allo... uh... how do you mount an ISO in Ubuntu Fiesty?
[02:15] <jrib> !iso > archoniam (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:16] <archoniam> Thanks Jrib
[02:16] <Whosits> I actually have to leave on an urgent matter - thank you guys for your help anyway! I'll check df -h, I found the sites through google
[02:16] <conorkirkpatrick> I have the normal LiveCD (7.04) and my CD drive is to slow to do anything, and I am running short on CD's, is it possible to do a text mode install with the normal LiveCD?
[02:16] <retour> IndyGunFreak: I have videocard that shares system memory but needs support from OS to get into decent res and color depth. Old Mandriva was working fine on it but DSL is maxed out at 800x600 and 16bit when I want to have it 1024 and 16 bit there is no go. I think because 2.4 kernel.
[02:16] <flowbot> jrib, only problem is that *all* groups are gone ... i can't even start gdm because gdm group is gone ... could i just copy /etc/groups from a working install to my bunged up one?
[02:16] <jrib> conorkirkpatrick: no
[02:17] <retour> conor - probably NO already asked here
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> retour: not really sure on that one
[02:17] <FuzzyGhost> Okay, followed the guide, and hopefully it'll work.
[02:17] <FuzzyGhost> Wish me luck.
[02:17] <sleeper> is there a harddrive partition GUI tool that I could use
[02:17] <sleeper> with ubuntu?
[02:17] <exs> Does anyone know about an updated flash version for firefox?.. because right now it's making my linux laptop so slow!
[02:17] <sleeper> I have a hard drive I need to partition
[02:17] <jrib> flowbot: oh, the groups don't actually exist anymore?  It's not just that your user is no longer a member of the groups?
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> conorkirkpatrick: no, you must download the alternate install CD for text install.
[02:17] <\Ben> bulmer, when i use iwlist scan it says interface doesnt support scanning. when i use iwlist ap it says "interface doesnt have a list of peers/access-points"
[02:17] <jrib> sleeper: gparted
[02:17] <sleeper> thanks
[02:18] <flowbot> jrib, yeah ... using "useradd shayne" totally hosed all groups ... probly cos i didn't do useradd properly
[02:18] <jrib> exs: not really, flash 9 is in the repos.  Yes, flash on linux sucks.  /me looks in the general direction of adobe
[02:18] <conorkirkpatrick> IndyGunFreak: Hmm, I have internet on it, is it possible to maybe partition the HD, and do an apt-get install kubuntu-desktop?
[02:18] <exs> jrib:  how do I make sure I got the latest version?
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> conorkirkpatrick: do you have a CLI system installed?
[02:18] <jrib> flowbot: ok, but only shayne is an issue right?
[02:19] <conorkirkpatrick> IndyGunFreak: nothing is installed, though, I am perfectly willing to erase the HD
[02:19] <jrib> exs: apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> conorkirkpatrick: then no, to do a textbased install, you have to use the alternate install CD.
[02:19] <scotty> should i install beryl??
[02:19] <retour> conor: Lately I've discovered that Memorex CDs are crap and make your CD create behave and noises like its broken. Burned it on MAXELL CD with Made in Japan print on it and my supposedly broken CD-ROM drive is smoking in reading tests
[02:19] <sleeper> what's better for storage, reiserFS or ext3?
[02:19] <flowbot> jrib, not sure - all i know is nothing works now
[02:19] <conorkirkpatrick> IndyGunFreak: Ok, I suppose copying the CD to the HD won't work either? (lol, i'm being difficult :D)
[02:20] <IndyGunFreak> conorkirkpatrick: yes you are.
[02:20] <jrib> flowbot: alright, do you still have your original user?
[02:20] <conorkirkpatrick> :D
[02:20] <akos> hello! what alsa drivers are in gutsy?
[02:20] <retour> almost 60 Memorex cd drum went straicght to the trash can
[02:20] <IndyGunFreak> retour: use sony DVD-Rs, no probs
[02:20] <jrib> akos: #ubuntu+1 for gutsy
[02:21] <unix4me> how do I install gnome-main-menu in ubuntu? apparently the package settings aren't well set... how do i enable universe repositories and things like that?
[02:21] <retour> Indy: I have CD-RW machine. No DVD burner yet and probably ever as they became obsolete already (Blue ray and other new stuff)
[02:21] <nagyv> hello! I am helping my brother remotely with in his first Linux experience, and just realised that he installed edgy and I gave him a feisty sources.list file. I already started apt-get upgrade unfortunately. What could be the safest next step if I would like to avoid reinstalling?
[02:21] <jrib> !universe > unix4me (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:21] <unix4me> !universe
[02:21] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> retour: i see, are you using RW disks, or R disks?
[02:22] <unix4me> retour: DVD-R is still up2date ;)
[02:22] <unix4me> jrib: but how do I enable them?
[02:22] <jrib> nagyv: I would just upgrade to feisty anyway
[02:22] <IndyGunFreak> unix4me: maybe not where he is... who knows.
[02:22] <jrib> unix4me: the message from ubotu explains
[02:22] <jrib> or the link rather
[02:22] <levander> Is there a command to just show the one line description of a package?  I could do an "apt-cache search <package name>", but if you know the name of a package, it seems there should be a command just to read the one line description out of it.  It would be faster than searcher the entire respository, and you wouldn't have the chance of having multiple packages in the output.
[02:22] <yamarash> hola
[02:22] <unix4me> !es | yamarash
[02:22] <ubotu> yamarash: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[02:23] <nagyv> jrib: the problem was that for some reason (my guess is that the CD was wrong) it did not installed, so he installed edgy
[02:23] <unix4me> how can I get a windows vista-like orb for ubuntu? (i'm trying to get a vista theme going...)
[02:23] <nagyv> jrib: is it possible/safe to upgrade with apt-get updgrade instead of dist-upgrade?
[02:23] <retour> I dont use CD-RW for backup or important stuff - only as a transfer/transport media (photos to local CD lab if I want paper/ prints/ stuff to take to friends etc) So I always use CD-R disks in DAO mode to safe space and get extra compatibility with Orange book
[02:24] <jrib> nagyv: right, but he can upgrade to feisty from edgy without reinstalling.  And he's already half way there.  No, you can finish it off with a dist-upgrade now
[02:24] <nagyv> jrib: ok, so I will finish running the normal upgrade, and then a dist-upgrade, is this meaningful?
[02:25] <scotty> unix4me, try beryl
[02:25] <iratik> Off the wall question -- i've got a tv tuner card ... what are a few apps i can use to try to watch tv from the tuner card on ubuntu ( i did search the repo for tv tuner - nothing right on target seemed to come up) ?
[02:25] <jrib> nagyv: I would just dist-upgrade.  You might hit some bumps since update-manager is recommended for upgrades now, but I think it should be ok
[02:25] <unix4me> scotty: my computer's too old
[02:25] <astro76> iratik, tvtime
[02:25] <iratik> astro76:see... it just says high quality video de-interlacer

[02:26] <akos_> Hello! I have to download the alsa 1.0.14 drivers, but I don't want to switch to gutsy. Is it possible to download only them (+dependencies) from the gutsy repository?
[02:27] <iratik> no kidding*!
[02:27] <iratik> astro76: that was 10,000 times easier than getting wintv installed on xp

[02:48] <FurryNemesis> puppy-user-06som, you'd need a custom xorg.conf section and the right drivers for a start I think
[02:49] <puppy-user-06som> the problem is the drivers
[02:49] <puppy-user-06som> how to get the /dev/input/js0 node
[02:49] <basketcase3> Could someone tell me if these instructions (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185079) will work for Fiesty? I'm downloading the gcc packages now.
[02:51] <Rezzie> When using Ubuntu 7.04 will it automatically select the best kernel (from those avaliable) to use? I'm talking about the SMP, i686 etc, as those packages in the package manager are marked as obsolete?

[02:55] <breakerfall> hi
[02:55] <erisco> hi
[02:55] <breakerfall> wow, large channel o.o
[02:55] <erisco> this is the only working window right now... I tried to shut down but KATE came up and complained about an unsaved document... and now ubuntu is crashed
[02:55] <erisco> what is the key combo to get to a text only terminal?
[02:55] <breakerfall> just a quick question, I tested 6.10 a small while back and one of the things I wasn't keen on, was the lack of choice over the applications that come bundled with ubuntu
[02:55] <Flannel> erisco: ctrl-alt-f1 (f7 gets you back to GUI)
[02:55] <breakerfall> has this changed with the 7+ series?
[02:56] <jpatota> is there anything special i need to install in ubuntu for a hardware raid to work properly?
[02:56] <breakerfall> can I select packages during install?
[02:56] <conorkirkpatrick> How do you mount a hard drive from the LiveCD?
[02:56] <zani> hey guys, is there a ubuntu repos in dvd like debian does?
[02:56] <erisco> it says my login is incorrect :s
[02:56] <erisco> and it isn't _my_ login...
[02:56] <Flannel> breakerfall: no, Although you could install a minimal system and then install what you want later.
[02:56] <erisco> it says "eric login" not "erisco login"
[02:56] <pushpop> anyone here good with setting up LVM I have a few questions
[02:56] <breakerfall> ok, thanks Flannel
[02:57] <Flannel> zani: No, but you can use something like AptOnCD to make a DVD of packages (as a repository on acD)
[02:57] <chaotic>  this is basically what i need to do delete .wine/program files/funcom/ anarchy online/cd_image/gui/default and move from desktop cd_image to  .wine/c_drive/progam files/funcom/anarchy online
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> whats the command to uninstall a program, and purge it?
[02:57] <conorkirkpatrick> How do you mount a hard drive from the LiveCD?
[02:57] <breakerfall> conorkirkpatrick, mount -t <type goes here> /dev/XXX /path/to/mount
[02:57] <Flannel> IndyGunFreak: apt-get remove --purge [package]
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: thanks, knew it was something like that
[02:57] <Flannel> IndyGunFreak: or in synaptic, "complete removal"
[02:57] <zani> if i use the debian repos it would be ok right?
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: ok..thanks
[02:58] <zani> would apt be smart enough to not break something?
[02:58] <conorkirkpatrick> breakerfall: I know the command, I was jsut wondering how to get it to recognize the HD from the Live CD. I tried dmesg | grep hd and it found a device of 20GB (my hd) but I have no idea how to mount it as it isn't in mtab or fstab
[02:58] <WaxyFresh> cntrl alt backspace isint working for me is there another method to restart xserver?
[02:58] <dave_> needing a bit of help if anyone has a moment
[02:59] <Flannel> zani: No.  The packages are all named/versioned differently.  No binary compatability between ubuntu and debian repositories.  However if you got a source deb, it should work
[02:59] <MusashiX90> I'm having trouble with Ubuntu Server 7.04 detecting my RTL8139 network card.

[02:59] <chris__> what is the difference from ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server?
[03:00] <dave_> recommendation of a new motherboard
[03:00] <Flannel> chris__: the default packages installed.  Server has no GUI by default, desktop does.
[03:00] <Flannel> chris__: also, server has an alt CD setup (so you can do stuff like LVM), a LAMP pre-install, and also installs the -server kernel by default, instead of the generic one.
[03:00] <[App] sUb-ZeRo> Does anybody here havee xpierence setting up Torrentflux?
[03:00] <chris__> lvm?
[03:01] <chris__> server kernel?
[03:01] <Flannel> chris__: yeah, the desktop CD can't do LVM, the Alt and Server CDs can.
[03:01] <chris__> what is lvm?
[03:01] <Flannel> chris__: Are you looking to have a desktop machine that also runs server things?
[03:01] <pushpop> its a headache chris
[03:02] <pushpop> because im trying to configure it now
[03:02] <Flannel> chris__: it's an abstraction layer ontop of physical drives.  Allows you to resize partitions, merge disks into larger ones, plenty of other goodies.
[03:02] <pushpop> and i reinsatlled the os 3 times already
[03:02] <Flannel> !ask | pushpop
[03:02] <archoniam> Um hiyas... I'm at trying to get SM to work again. I have tried root, i have tried sudo, make install AS root AND using sudo or any combination of that and the program ALWAYS gets permission denied. What is going on?

[03:02] <pushpop> sorry flannel
[03:02] <scotty> i just followed a long guide on installing beryla dn it didnt work, i guess its too old

[03:02] <conorkirkpatrick> What package allows me to SSH into ubuntu?
[03:03] <chris__> ssh

[03:03] <Rezzie> :)
[03:03] <Pelo> scotty,  try asking for help in #beryl
[03:03] <kitche> conorkirkpatrick: openssh-server
[03:03] <conorkirkpatrick> kitche: thnx
[03:03] <Flannel> chris__: Well, if you've got a desktop already, you're better off just installing whatever server programs you want.  Linux makes no distinction between "desktop" and "server" systems
[03:03] <younghacker> why do people prefer torrent sites over other p2p software? (just a question)
[03:03] <Pelo> conorkirkpatrick,  search for ssh in synaptic
[03:03] <blackmamba> ugh, my screen flickers. ati radeon x700, acer 1916w lcd widescreen 19" monitor supposed to run at 1440x900@75Hz, i get a horizontal banding on large off-white blocks of color, like the default wallpaper. i've been furiously editing xorg.conf to try to fix it but i can't. xorg is set up correctly, my screen just...flickers
[03:03] <conorkirkpatrick> pelo: I am trying to SSH into the PC to try to mount the HD from the LiveCD and do a good old manual install
[03:03] <conorkirkpatrick> pelo: Sounds fun, doesn't it? ;)
[03:04] <Pelo> younghacker,  the way the multi peer dl is setup in torrents makes it more reliable to get stuff, you donT' end up waiting in queue for days
[03:04] <conorkirkpatrick> Pelo: Also, no X
[03:04] <younghacker> ahhh,,, is it true that torrent uses it's own protocol for transfers?
[03:04] <Pelo> !install | conorkirkpatrick  did you read this ?
[03:04] <ubotu> conorkirkpatrick  did you read this ?: 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
[03:04] <archoniam> blackmamba: Have you tried adjusting the refresh rate higher?
[03:05] <younghacker> i despise point to point software,, but probably only because i know how much damage it's done to some 'MS' boxes i've seen
[03:05] <younghacker> i've never used on Ubuntu
[03:05] <Pelo> younghacker,  yes , bittorent protocol is much different fhen the other kind of p2p,  for one thing you donT' need to have the whole thing to share it with others
[03:06] <younghacker> i see
[03:06] <blackmamba> archoniam: i can't, the screen resolution dialogue will never list more than one option at a time. right now it lists 76Hz... my vertrefresh and horizsync options are set up correctly to my monitor's specs

[03:07] <Assassin`> kk
[03:07] <Flannel> pushpop: You ever going to ask your LVM question?
[03:07] <conorkirkpatrick> Pelo: My original plan was to mount the HD then figure out a way to have apt-get install the package "kubuntu-desktop" onto the HD rather than into memory.
[03:08] <banlieue> gtkrll it can't find, but screenlets seems worth checking out

[03:08] <conorkirkpatrick> Pelo: okay, thanks anyway :D
[03:09] <banlieue> screenlets requires a composite manager though ;/
[03:09] <banlieue> i just got rid of that lol
[03:09] <Pelo> banlieue,  that's probably the wront spelling for gtkrll,  I just donT' recall what it is
[03:09] <SlimG2> Where do I add the hostname I want dhclient3 to send to the dhcp server?
[03:09] <blackmamba> archoniam: i can't through gnome's interface, i have to change it in xorg.conf... lots of fiddling around. it seems to flicker no matter what setting i put it on, the only thing that changes is the flicker speed
[03:09] <banlieue> gkrellm it seems
[03:09] <banlieue> glad they keep the names simple ;)
[03:09] <banlieue> thanks Pelo
[03:10] <Pelo> [App] sUb-ZeRo,   sudo apt-get install torrentflux
[03:10] <younghacker> i want to import an XML document into postgresql as data in one of databases, anyone have anysuggestions?
[03:10] <sponsz> http://vaniketamer.miniville.fr/
[03:10] <sponsz> http://vaniketamer.miniville.fr/
[03:10] <[App] sUb-ZeRo> Pelo: yeah, I did that, but it has errors
[03:10] <SlimG2> Where do I add the hostname I want dhclient3 to send to the dhcp server?
[03:10] <[App] sUb-ZeRo> Pelo: it has permissions errors and I cannot figure it out
[03:10] <Pelo> [App] sUb-ZeRo,  during the install or when running ?
[03:11] <archoniam> blackmamba: Make the flickering rate as fast as possible. Then you may be able to completely end the flickering.
[03:11] <[App] sUb-ZeRo> well, while running
[03:11] <[App] sUb-ZeRo> Pelo. have you set it up before?
[03:11] <Pelo> [App] sUb-ZeRo,  what't the error ?
[03:11] <Pelo> no
[03:11] <[App] sUb-ZeRo> can i pm you?
[03:11] <Pelo> no
[03:11] <archoniam> And please post your xorg.conf on paste.ubuntu.com.
[03:11] <MasterNe0> Does anyone know how to grow the ext3 volume? I got both windows and ubuntu installed. Want to divert some windows space over to ubuntu.
[03:12] <blackmamba> archoniam: hmm, guess i've got some more fiddling to do
[03:12] <Pelo> [App] sUb-ZeRo,  I use utorrent running on wine, never had any problems
[03:12] <younghacker> can someone advise me on importing XML data into postgresql?
[03:12] <[App] sUb-ZeRo> Pelo: Warning: opendir(/var/www/torrentflux/rents/) [function.opendir] : failed to open dir: Permission denied in /var/www/torrentflux/html/dir.php on line 321
[03:12] <karonte> hey
[03:12] <Flannel> MasterNe0: ext3 can only be expanded backwards (foot can move, head can't).  Depending on the size of your partitions, you can manuever it around and get it to work if you're moving the head though
[03:12] <Helton> hola
[03:12] <karonte> whos everybody
[03:12] <karonte> hola
[03:13] <archoniam> blackmamba: Just post the xorg.conf at the ubuntu paste place (try and say that 3 times fast) at paste.ubuntu.com
[03:13] <MasterNe0> i got about 15 gb for ubuntu. the rest, about 70 for windows.
[03:13] <Pelo> [App] sUb-ZeRo,  I would try to give permission to the folders and files mentionned,    sudo chmod 755  /path/file
[03:13] <jrib> archoniam: it's http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org , I think paste.ubuntu.com will be 404
[03:13] <Flannel> MasterNe0: How much space you looking to give Ubuntu?  And how much space (actual space, not just partition size) is it already using?
[03:13] <blackmamba> jrib: youre right
[03:13] <archoniam> I'm at trying to get SM to work again. I have tried root, i have tried sudo, make install AS root AND using sudo or any combination of that and the program ALWAYS gets permission denied. What is going on?
[03:13] <thebigham> Hello everyone, I have a problem trying to partitiion my hard drive. It keep giving me an error.
[03:14] <flowbot> jrib, yay, got groups sorted by copying /etc/group from working install :)
[03:14] <archoniam> lol sorry
[03:14] <W55eo> DCC SEND<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000000000000000000000000000000
[03:14] <thebigham> I have tried partition magic also, it gives me the same error
[03:14] <archoniam> I'm at trying to get SM to work again. I have tried root, i have tried sudo, make install AS root AND using sudo or any combination of that and the program ALWAYS gets permission denied. What is going on?
[03:14] <CrashandDie> hey all, what should I do if emerald fails to work correctly (I don't have window decoration when beryl is launched) ?
[03:14] <thebigham> Is there anything i can do?
[03:14] <blackmamba> lol sorry for typos i onlu have eight fingers right now, two are sprained
[03:14] <MasterNe0> another 10gb from windows to ubuntu. windows has about 20 free.
[03:14] <Pelo> thebigham,  what is the error ?
[03:14] <archoniam> blackmamba: Ow. How did you do that?
[03:14] <Flannel> MasterNe0: and how much space is Ubuntu currently using?  (Less than 10?)
[03:14] <thebigham> It only says it failed to complete the partition
[03:15] <kev_b> does anyone know why, with 2500 emails in my junk mail folder (added manually), I have not yet had a spam automatically filtered in Evolution? I have 'check for incoming junk mail' and 'include remote tests' checked in prefs and 'check new messages for junk content' checked in the account settings.
[03:15] <thebigham> and the partition magic said it has detected alot of errors on my hard drive
[03:15] <conorkirkpatrick> flannel: I am going with the SSH instructions, but when I enter "fdisk /dev/hda" It causes an error: "Unable to open /dev/hda"
[03:15] <MasterNe0> 15 total.
[03:15] <Pelo> thebigham,  try to do it in seperate steps,  first make room ( resize or whatever) , apply,  then create the new pariition , , if more then one ,  do them one at a time,  applying the change between each step
[03:16] <CrashandDie> hey all, what should I do if emerald fails to work correctly (I don't have window decoration when beryl is launched) ?
[03:16] <blackmamba> there we go. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30066/    archoniam: well theyre actually badly infected but sprained is a shorter word :P infection thru joint and bone it six
[03:16] <scotty> how come i installed beryl but i dotn see the desktop cube???
[03:16] <zero> How do you chroot using ubuntu
[03:16] <blackmamba> sux*
[03:16] <archoniam> kev_b: Get a new cliend. I would suggest Thunderbird 2.
[03:16] <zero> Keeps giving me /bin/bash: permission denied
[03:16] <archoniam> client*
[03:16] <SlimG2> Where do I add the hostname I want dhclient3 to send to the dhcp server?
[03:16] <jrib> zero: you need to be root to chroot, are you using sudo?
[03:16] <jlinux> /list
[03:16] <zero> No, I enabled root and tried it
[03:16] <arch> Is there a way to unmap the <super> key from opening the applications menu?
[03:16] <zero> And it still gives me the error
[03:17] <fevel> hey guys...I have unallocated space in my HD and would like to add to ext3. I tried to resize in gparted but I could only shrink it. Can anyone help me out??
[03:17] <kev_b> archoniam: :( i like Evolution... is it a known problem?
[03:17] <thebigham> Okay thanks Pelo
[03:17] <jrib> zero: what do you mean by "enabled root and tried it"?
[03:17] <younghacker> how can i update software using apt-get?
[03:17] <zero> I set a password for root
[03:17] <zero> su'd it
[03:17] <jrib> younghacker: apt-get upgrade, or to upgrade a specific package:  apt-get install PACKAGE
[03:17] <zero> And it's still giving me problems
[03:17] <jrib> zero: why?  You don't need to set a password for root
[03:18] <younghacker> ok i see thank you
[03:18] <MasterNe0> it has about 15gb for ubuntu currently.
[03:18] <flowbot> after installing xubuntu and configuring backup server, is there anyway to turn it into a command line system only?
[03:18] <zero> ...
[03:18] <conorkirkpatrick> flannel: I am going with the SSH instructions, but when I enter "fdisk /dev/hda" It causes an error: "Unable to open /dev/hda"
[03:18] <CrashandDie> Ok, so anyone ever had a problem with emerald not loading properly ??
[03:18] <chris__> is there a program like google desktop but not by google and yeah....
[03:18] <Hyarion2> hi, ever since I installed Ubuntu the entire computer will freeze, except the mouse, but I'm not even able to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, this happens with both GNOME/KDE and even after upgrading to Fiesty, any ideas?
[03:18] <zerokill88> what are some real good encryption software for ubuntu????
[03:18] <zero> jrib, on Ubuntu, root is disabled by default
[03:18] <jrib> zero: correct
[03:18] <Flannel> conorkirkpatrick: do you have SATA drives instead of IDE drives?
[03:18] <Evan_> wireless help please
[03:18] <SlimG2> Where do I add the hostname I want dhclient3 to send to the dhcp server?
[03:18] <jrib> zero: you use sudo instead
[03:18] <Pelo> !wifi | Evan_
[03:18] <ubotu> Evan_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:18] <archoniam> kev_b: Not really =P It's just an annoying thing. I guess you could fiddle around with it until it works. Better yet, what email server are you using? (Like gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc.)
[03:18] <conorkirkpatrick> Flannel: Nope, I have Plan Old IDE drives, though one is an IBM "Deathstar"
[03:19] <zero> I prefer su
[03:19] <conorkirkpatrick> Flannel: but the Deathstart is working fine
[03:19] <younghacker> also , i wanted yakuake (pull down terminal window) to run as a start up program, i typed the name yakuake in the startup programs dialogue box in sessions but i still have to manuall start, anybody know how to fix?
[03:19] <zero> Anyway
[03:19] <jrgotti> how do i change the icon that is displayed on avant window navigator when an application is opened?
[03:19] <Evan_> i've been through the wireless documentation, i need troubleshooting
[03:19] <zero> jrib, even while su'd it gives the /bin/bash: permission denied error
[03:19] <CrashandDie> heellllloooooooo ?
[03:19] <kev_b> archoniam: I'm using dreamhost and their on-server filtering sucks (e.g. not allowed to use a catch-all and spam filtering at same time)
[03:19] <jrib> zero: where are you chroot to?
[03:19] <Flannel> conorkirkpatrick: er, um, I don't know.  /dev/hda should exist.  That's your primary master.  What drives do you have listed in /dev/?
[03:20] <zero> A partition that's mounted to a file on the desktop
[03:20] <jrgotti> ...nevermind. i love when i ask a question and i immediately remember how to do it.
[03:20] <jrib> zero: and bin/bash is in there?
[03:20] <blackmamba> ZOMG, can setting your horizsync rate too low cause horizontal banding on your screen?
[03:20] <zero> ...
[03:20] <zero> I'm using the command chroot /filepath /bin/bash
[03:20] <conorkirkpatrick> Flannel: "ls /dev | grep hd" returns nothing, but "ls /dev | grep sd" returns sda and sda1
[03:20] <Pelo> blackmamba, that is what it controls
[03:20] <kev_b> archoniam: but I don't even know what to fiddle with in Evolution, it seems to have no settings for spam apart from enable/disable filtering
[03:20] <jrib> zero: and /filepath/bin/bash exists?
[03:21] <blackmamba> Pelo: i love you. :D restarting xserver now
[03:21] <Flannel> conorkirkpatrick: Oh, well, uh, try that then.  I do remember hearing something about feisty mapping everything to sdX
[03:21] <archoniam> blackmamba: I think i've figured it out. Please set the resolution pixels to 1024x768. I'll post it in the pastebin Firefox. Gimme a sec tho, i'm tied up quite a bit here, doing four things at a time.
[03:22] <archoniam> kev_b: Then i would suggest getting a new email client
[03:22] <conorkirkpatrick> Flannel: Fdisk on any SD* drives causes it to say the same error "Unable to open"
[03:22] <Seoke> When downloading NVIDIA drivers for Ubuntu do I dl the Linux X86 or Linux x64?
[03:22] <Flannel> conorkirkpatrick: you're using sudo, right?
[03:22] <conorkirkpatrick> Flannel: ...
[03:22] <conorkirkpatrick> Flannel: WOW n00b mistake there :D
[03:22] <Evan_> pelo: I am in !wifi, no one else is there
[03:22] <Flannel> conorkirkpatrick: sudo fdisk /dev/whatever
[03:23] <kev_b> archoniam: think i might have to : ( thanks
[03:23] <conorkirkpatrick> Flannel: Could cfdisk be used? I am more accustomed to it
[03:23] <Flannel> conorkirkpatrick: actually, all of this will be done with sudo.  You might be better off using `sudo -i` to open a root shell, and then doing all this stuff
[03:23] <bad_cables> ubuntu is takin over!
[03:23] <Flannel> conorkirkpatrick: sure, All that's doing is partitioning.  you can use whatever you'd like.
[03:23] <Seoke> Is ubuntu Linux x64?
[03:23] <Flannel> Seoke: It can be.  Yes.
[03:24] <WaxyFresh> where can i find images for use with virtualbox?
[03:24] <Snake> Can anyone help me with grub? I need to tell it to install to /dev/sda1, currently its set to (hd0)
[03:24] <kitche> WaxyFresh: have ot make them yourself
[03:24] <Seoke> Flannel, Well I'm trying to download drivers for nvidia do I download the x64 or x86?
[03:24] <Flannel> Seoke: The drivers you download are dependant on what sort of system you're running.  But actually, you should use the built-in ubuntu driver managers
[03:24] <Snake> I dont know how to translate to hd(x,x)
[03:24] <zero> jrib, yes, it exists
[03:24] <conorkirkpatrick> Flannel: Just a question (not that it matters) Do you have any idea why the HD was mounted as sda? (I know it is the hard drive because it says W95 and that was my prev. os)
[03:24] <Seoke> Flannel, How do I get to the driver managers?
[03:24] <Flannel> Seoke: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager, or something close to that.
[03:25] <Evan_> wireless card is installed, it shows up in lspci, but not in network settings. supported driver installed via ndiswrapper
[03:25] <Seoke> Flannel, The closest thing I found was Device Managers
[03:25] <Snake> Can anyone help me with grub? I need to tell it to install to /dev/sda1, currently its set to (hd0)
[03:25] <Flannel> conorkirkpatrick: Well, I don't have feisty to confirm, but I heard someone say that in feisty they moved everything to be sdX to simplify things, or something like that.
[03:25] <WaxyFresh> kitche: theres no premade ones availible?
[03:25] <Flannel> Snake: hd0 is /dev/sda, the MBR.  Are you sure you don't want that intead of sda1?
[03:25] <conorkirkpatrick> Flannel: Ok, wasn't used to that, though it does seem better, to have all drives on one prefix
[03:26] <jrib> zero: what do the permissions look like
[03:26] <le1> excuse me, I use ub7.04.  please send me a file which named /etc/wodim.conf<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Thank you!
[03:26] <archoniam> blackmamba: The corrected version is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30067/ . For one, hope your fingers heal enough so you don't have to typo so much =D And for two, if it dosen't work, i'll establish a remote connection sometime. I'll try to be on tomorrow at noon if you want to see me or now is good. XD Now i gotta repeat my question for the third time.
[03:26] <Snake> Flannel: I dont want it to overwrite the MBR, right now my MBR is @ /dev/sdc1, thats where my bios boots first
[03:26] <zero> jrib, -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-04-19 19:53 bash
[03:26] <Cairn1> How do I disable X Server so I can install my nvidia driver? :)
[03:26] <zero> I even tried chmodding them to 7777
[03:26] <Snake> Flannel: I want it installed at /dev/sda, so hd0 is correct?
[03:26] <le1> excuse me, I use ub7.04.  please send me a file which named /etc/wodim.conf<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Thank you!
[03:27] <Flannel> Snake: hd0 is /sda, yes.  hd0,0 would be sda1
[03:27] <archoniam> Now. I ask AGAIN...
[03:27] <jamman> zero, have you chmoded it?
[03:27] <Snake> Flannel: thats all I needed to know, I dont know how grub translates the sdas to hd(x,x) ;)
[03:27] <zero> Yes
[03:27] <kitche> WaxyFresh: not for VirtualBox that I know of
[03:27] <Cairn1> Anyone know how to disable X Server? :/
[03:27] <Flannel> Snake: convert letters to numbers, and subtract one.
[03:27] <archoniam> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30067/
[03:27] <archoniam> woops lol
[03:27] <jamman> hmm. also its chowned it? zero
[03:27] <Seoke> Flannel, How do I check if the drivers for my video card are installed already?
[03:28] <Flannel> Snake: because GRUB starts at 0, and linux starts at 1 (well, and a)
[03:28] <Snake> Flannel: ahhh clever, thatll do :)
[03:28] <Pb> how can i scan a file in xsane from the command line?
[03:28] <archoniam> I'm at trying to get SM to work again. I have tried root, i have tried sudo, make install AS root AND using sudo or any combination of that and the program ALWAYS gets permission denied. What is going on?
[03:28] <zero> jamman, I'm su'd as root
[03:28] <Pb> i want to get the effect of xsane | image.jpg
[03:28] <jamman> zero, and what can you not do?
[03:28] <jamman> edit?
[03:28] <Snake> well here goes nothin
[03:29] <jrgotti> ...if i wanted to patch awn...how would i do that? i have some code...and it says to commit it to svn...how would i go about doing that?
[03:30] <Seoke> How do I cehck to see if my video cards drivers are installed properly?
[03:30] <Rezzie> What is the best (safest?) way to update Ubuntu 7.04 to the latest kernel, without compiling it myself?
[03:30] <zero> jamman, I'm trying to chroot
[03:31] <aroo> Rezzie, using apt-get
[03:31] <aroo> Rezzie, unless you want the brand new kernels as they're released, then you need to compile
[03:31] <coraxx> An error occurred Could not establish connection to sound server I get this mesage when I try to play movies or mp3 enyone know whats wrong?
[03:31] <Flannel> Rezzie: if by "latest kernel" you mean something other than 2.6.20, then you dont. You get a new kernel version when Ubuntu releases 7.10
[03:31] <jrib> zero: make sure permissions on /filepath and /filepath/bin are ok too
[03:31] <Flannel> archoniam: I'm still trying to figure out what SM is.
[03:31] <jamman> zero, try chmod -R 777
[03:31] <Rezzie> Thanks. Guess I'll wait :)
[03:32] <archoniam> Flannel: StepMania.
[03:32] <jrib> jamman: don't recommend that... that usually leads to reinstalls
[03:32] <jamman> jrib, oh, well then don't zero.
[03:32] <archoniam> All: SM IS FREAKING STEPMANIA. Sorry for not telling you that. XD
[03:32] <coraxx> An error occurred Could not establish connection to sound server I get this mesage when I try to play movies or mp3 enyone know whats wrong?
[03:33] <jamman> zero try, "chown root /path/to/dir"
[03:33] <zero> It's already owned by root
[03:33] <archoniam> Coraxx: Your alsa driver could be corrupted. Other than that...uhh... i have no idea.
[03:33] <jamman> zero, well then...
[03:33] <CrashandDie> Am I invisible or what ??,
[03:34] <karonte> how is everybody here
