[05:37] <Pelo> needs2repart,  yes
[05:37] <blackjackel> Madpilot, thanks :)
[05:37] <Madpilot> needs2repart, yes
[05:37] <needs2repart> ok, thanks
[05:37] <n0n4m3> Nergar try pinging the server or try some other service, if it's available
[05:37] <imbecile> cbs:  heheh that always happens..
[05:38] <Fezzler> Motubu: I'll map mary to in when I'm done.  So when she is on the iMac upstairs or Vista in home office, I'll map a drive to here serve space
[05:38] <Madpilot> blackjackel, had to go looking for it, I used to use autologin but stopped when I got roommates again - not that I don't trust them, but...
[05:38] <Jinchurei> what's the command to mount /dev/hda1 as a read-writable drive?
[05:38] <ThePioneer> tonyy: could you give me a little insight?? how to get started, where to look, programs? - For Ubuntu 7
[05:38] <jrib> Jinchurei: what filesystem?
[05:38] <Nergar> n0n4m3, i can vnc without problems
[05:38] <blackjackel> Madpilot, but roomates will be roomates, gotcha ;)
[05:38] <Zelda> hello. I just changed my themes, and background. When I boot up, I still have the brown Ubuntu logos, and I see a brown background before I get my blue. How do I change that so I dont have the flash of the background, and the little ubuntu bootup logo thats brown. I think its called the Nautilis
[05:38] <kevin__> imbevile, put a sudo before that
[05:38] <Jinchurei> jrib - I think ext3.  I could be wrong.  Where can i check?
[05:38] <jrib> Jinchurei: gparted
[05:39] <chdragonfly> my sda1 (the windows parition) disappeared from desktop, how can i get it to appear again?
[05:39] <mobutu> Fezzler: unless something has changed in ubuntu or something magical has happened that i am unaware of, you are going to have to add the users to smbpasswd
[05:39] <Madpilot> blackjackel, besides, they're all Windows users, the mere sight of a brown Ubuntu-logo'd login screen will scare them out of the room again :)
[05:39] <needs2repart> Can i move an entire partition to the different part of the harddrive_
[05:39] <needs2repart> ?
[05:39] <mobutu> Fezzler: so they can mount the files over the network, from the iMac
[05:39] <n0n4m3> Nergar if you have vnc.. then just check if sshd is running in a terminal window ( "ps ax|grep sshd" or something like "netstat -ltn | grep 22" ...)
[05:39] <mobutu> Fezzler: you should look for information on smbpasswd
[05:39] <tonyyarusso> ThePioneer: For readers you mean?  Liferea for standalone, the Sage extension for Firefox, or the RSS feature of Thunderbird are my choices - all available in the repos.
[05:39] <Pelo> Zelda,  you can change the brown background somewhere in   menu > system > admin > login screen ,  I don't knwoeher eou change the splash
[05:39] <Pelo> I donT' know where you change the splash
[05:39] <mobutu> Fezzler: you'll probably have to 'smbpasswd -a mary' to create the user mary in the samba usename/password file
[05:40] <ThePioneer> I'd like to get started on creating and podcasting my own rss feeds
[05:40] <Zelda> does anyone?
[05:40] <Zelda> !usplash
[05:40] <ubotu> To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[05:40] <Frogzoo> Zelda: change the default background to black
[05:40] <blackjackel> Madpilot, hey, I'm a windows user, and that dosen't scare me much :) Though I dont think I'll be using ubuntu for long if I cant figure out how to get better or AT LEAST the same framerates in videogames as in windows....
[05:40] <Madpilot> blackjackel, what vidcard make/model?
[05:41] <Fezzler> mobutu: Thanks, I'm doing this backward, I need to do smbpasswd before file structure/permissions
[05:41] <mobutu> Fezzler: maybe there is a Samba GUI somewhere that works, I don't know.  insane samba configuration is one of the reasons Windows is easier to use than ubuntu sometimes
[05:41] <blackjackel> Madkiss, ATI 9800 PRO All in Wonder, using restricted drivers (tried non restricted, they perform even worse)
[05:41] <Fezzler> mobutu: Yea, but easier isn't fun or you don't learn anything :)
[05:41] <Jinchurei> jrib - gparted mounted it but its still read only
[05:41] <jrib> Jinchurei: what is the filesystem
[05:41] <mobutu> ThePioneer: I don't think that's an ubuntu thing.  more like a 'how do i make a website' thing.  I like to use drupal for that stuff.
[05:42] <Jinchurei> jrib ext3
[05:42] <ThePioneer> Ahh
[05:42] <Bigcheese> Whenever I try to run the "patch" command from the command line, the command line just freezes doing nothing. running Ubuntu 7.0.4 desktop almost out of box.
[05:42] <mobutu> Fezzler: I have spent a lot of time configuring Samba instead of going out in the sun.  I wish I had gone out in the sun instead
[05:42] <blackjackel> Madkiss, sorry, that was directed at Madpilot
[05:42] <ThePioneer> I see said the blind man
[05:42] <hendrixski> the pdf thing only makes pdfs when you don't click "print to file" otherwise it's postscript
[05:42] <hendrixski> now I know
[05:42] <blackjackel> Madpilot,  ATI 9800 PRO All in Wonder, using restricted drivers (tried non restricted, they perform even worse)
[05:42] <hendrixski> thanks again
[05:42] <mobutu> Bigcheese: are you trying to patch something with a diff ?
[05:42] <kevin__> mobutu: speaking of which, there should be a "save package state" "rollback" on linux, thats the reason automatix is so dangerous imho
[05:42] <Bigcheese> yes
[05:42] <Pelo> one of my highschool /college buddies got elected to the nationnal assembly
[05:42] <tonyyarusso> which country Pelo ?
[05:43] <Aresilek> Can i move an entire partition to the different part of the harddrive?
[05:43] <Bigcheese> ohhh
[05:43] <Pelo> tonyyarusso,  provincial legislature in quebec,   country  is canada
[05:43] <Bigcheese> i get it
[05:43] <Madpilot> blackjackel, I've got an ATI 9600XT 256MB card, using the non-free fglrx, and I get good framerates in most games - Tremulous maxs out, ET does fine. I don't really play anything newer than them (Quake3-engine on both)
[05:43] <Zelda> fogzoo: great idea. How do i do that?
[05:43] <Bigcheese> :P, i forgot the < diffile
[05:43] <emun> help, want to learn to install SAMBA and use it, where can I get info
[05:43] <Punkunity> !freeze
[05:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about freeze - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[05:43] <tonyyarusso> Pelo: ah.  (You should join us in #ubuntu-ca sometime)
[05:44] <Frogzoo> Aresilek: cpio is best for that
[05:44] <Jordan_U> !samba > emum
[05:44] <blind> ThePioneer: eh? :P
[05:44] <Pelo> tonyyarusso,  is thers such a chanel ? I didn't know
[05:44] <Punkunity> feisty keeps freezing on me, and i have to do a hard reztart of the computer
[05:44] <Aresilek> whats cpio
[05:44] <tonyyarusso> Pelo: of course!
[05:44] <Aresilek> ?
[05:44] <blackjackel> Madpilot, I'm trying to run Half-life at a decent frame rate and resolution, and i'm not doing veyr good...
[05:44] <Zelda> Fogzoo: You still here?
[05:44] <mobutu> Bigcheese: so you 'patch -p1 < PATCHFILENAME' ?
[05:44] <Aresilek> ok first things first how do i change the keyboard layout to a latin keyboard in kubuntu?
[05:44] <jrib> !mount > Jinchurei (see the private message from ubotu)
[05:44] <Frogzoo> Aresilek: man cpio
[05:45] <blackjackel> Madpilot, I'm trying to run non native games
[05:45] <Madpilot> blackjackel, is HalfLife native, or run thru wine/cedega/etc?
[05:45] <jrib> !fstab > Jinchurei (see the private message from ubotu)
[05:45] <Jordan_U> Aresilek, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I think
[05:45] <Zelda> !background
[05:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about background - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:45] <Fezzler> Mobutu: you just described my day
[05:45] <blackjackel> Madpilot, run through wine...
[05:45] <jrib> Jinchurei: basically, you create a mount point: sudo mkdir /media/some_mount_point .  Then you setup your fstab.  For permissions, you use chown/chmod as usual
[05:45] <blind> Zelda: what are you trying to do?
[05:45] <jeeves__> pelo:  any other ideas?  those links didn't work
[05:45] <Madpilot> blackjackel, ah. then the problem is wine. Never used it (never needed it) but I've heard some 3d games just don't do well...
[05:46] <Bigcheese> mobutu: it's fixed, it was stupid and forgot the input file :P
[05:46] <Pelo> jeeves__,  aside from a stupid joke I am out of suggestions
[05:46] <blind> blackjackel: check the appdb at http://appdb.winehq.com  -- it's possible others are experiencing the same problem and there's a work-around posted.
[05:46] <jeeves__> pelo:  lol, ok, thnaks
[05:46] <blackjackel> Madpilot, Half-Life is NOT one of those games that don't do well... it SHOULD run GREAT, but it dosen't  :(
[05:46] <Fezzler> Motubu:  Thanks, this book is a few verisons behind samba 3 and I think it didn't articulate the instructions right
[05:47] <Zelda> Blind: change the default background. I think I have it though. I will know once i restart
[05:47] <blind> O_o
[05:47] <blind> k.
[05:47] <Jordan_U> blackgraz, What graphics card do you have? ( it may be a driver issue )
[05:47] <Pelo> jeeves__,  ask periodicaly, different ppl have different skills, I'm no good with hardware issues
[05:47] <Fezzler> Motubu: in this example then, "chgrp boss1 /export/boss1" the author has named the user AND his folder "boss1"?
[05:47] <emun> Jordan_U, thanks do i type that in a terminal
[05:47] <Zelda> how do i change the color of the Nautilis
[05:47] <Zelda> ?
[05:47] <blind> blackgraz?
[05:48] <jeeves__> pelo: what are you good @ fixing then
[05:48] <blind> Zelda: which colors? have you tried different themes?
[05:48] <blackjackel> Jordan_U, its a 9800 PRO all in wonder
[05:48] <Pelo> jeeves__,  minor software stuff
[05:48] <Fezzler> Mobutu:  It could be different?  As in chgrp Andrea /srv/smbhome/andyfs
[05:48] <Jordan_U> emun, Type what in the terminal?
[05:48] <Zelda> yeah. Im using blubuntu theme.
[05:48] <Pelo> jeeves__,  general newbie orientation
[05:48] <jeeves__> pelo:  ok.
[05:48] <blind> Zelda: which colors do you want to change?
[05:48] <Fezzler> Mobutu: Assuming you have Andrea set up with smbpasswd?
[05:49] <mobutu> Fezzler: i don't know the names of your users.  if you created the users, on your box, with 'adduser', there will be a Andrea user an a Andrew group
[05:49] <Pelo> jeeves__,  all the ppl here are just users like you , with various degrees of experience, we help anyway we can
[05:49] <Zelda> the brown gnome theme to blue. You know that brown boot up image you see when you are loading all the programs
[05:49] <Jordan_U> blackgraz, Are you using fglrx? ( gflrx is horrible but can be better than the reverse engineered drivers )
[05:49] <mobutu> Fezzler: but it gets better, unless you are doing non trivial things with pam and stuff i am too tired to explain, the users you make with 'adduser' and the samba users are two different things
[05:49] <null> how can i abort a shutdown now?
[05:50] <mobutu> null: "ps -elf | grep shutdown" , find the process id of the shutdown process, kill that process id
[05:50] <blind> Zelda: ohhhhhhhhhhh.. i don't know how to change that, but i do know where the image file is if you'd like to change it manually.
[05:50] <Fezzler> mobutu: Got it.  Thanks.  You've been a big help.  I got it.  Its all about smb.conf
[05:50] <jeeves__> pelo:  ok, thanks again for your help
[05:50] <Zelda> This: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/StickDapper_modified_blubuntu?content=53886
[05:50] <Fezzler> mobuntu:  good night
[05:50] <chdragonfly> my sd1 (windows partition) does not show up on desktop....how to get it show up ? help??
[05:50] <msingh> the ubuntu cds that are mailed - are they (copies of) the same cd?
[05:50] <blind> Zelda: oh, you just have to swap out the png?
[05:50] <Pelo> Zelda,  you can change the background colour in  mene > system > admin > login screen ,  just below the list of loggin screens
[05:51] <Zelda> Blind: IM trying to get that tp the defualt
[05:51] <emun> Jordan_U , what is ! samba
[05:51] <Jordan_U> chdragonfly, Is it NTFS?
[05:51] <Zelda> er default
[05:51] <chdragonfly> jordan_U:yes
[05:51] <blind> Zelda: all you have to do is swap out the image files.
[05:51] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | chdragonfly
[05:51] <ubotu> chdragonfly: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[05:51] <blackjackel> Jordan_U, you're calling me blackgraz, i'm blackjackel
[05:51] <Zelda> Blind: How do I do that?
[05:51] <Zelda> rename it to that?
[05:51] <blackjackel> Jordan_U, yes I'm using fglrx
[05:51] <blind> Zelda: how linux savvy are you?
[05:51] <chdragonfly> jordan_u: i tried that, and i keep getting the errror T_Tthat says part of the disk is not clean or something
[05:51] <Jordan_U> emun, That was a message to the channel bot, you should have gotten a msg from ubotu about samba
[05:52] <blind> Zelda: mind if I PM you?
[05:52] <Zelda> Blind: Ive probably had Ubuntu installed 6months
[05:52] <Zelda> Blind go ahead
[05:52] <Jordan_U> chdragonfly, You need to run checkdisk from a windows machine
[05:52] <UbuntuNoob> HELP! I've spent the best part of the day trying to (repeatedly) install Ubuntu 7.04 Server ISO CD. It 'seemed' to be going well and finally tried to start up. Got to the text: Running local boot scripts... (/etc/rc.local) [OK]   and then stopped! I can hit <return> and then get a prompt!     I don't know what to do!  Please! any suggestions?!?! I dont want to keep getting the same results!
[05:52] <chdragonfly> jordan_U:my windows won't boot T_T
[05:53] <Jordan_U> chdragonfly, Ahh, I remember now
[05:53] <Pelo> g'night folks
[05:53] <vikzx86> HELP. I was installing additional fonts with automatix when my system abruptly rebooted due to power failure. Now the desktop doesnt load and x windows in not properly configured..
[05:53] <Jordan_U> !automatix | vikzx86
[05:53] <ubotu> vikzx86: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:54] <Jordan_U> vikzx86, Do you get a terminal prompt?
[05:54] <Nergar> n0n4m3, 10429 pts/0   R+ 0:00 grep sshd
[05:54] <chdragonfly> jordan_U:im i seriously doomed ? T_T, will re-installing grub or re-installing ubuntu help?
[05:54] <vikzx86> Jordan_U, Yes i got and it tired to diagnose and show some detailed output
[05:54] <Jordan_U> chdragonfly, Nope, it's a problem with windows, and only windows can fix it :(
[05:54] <mobutu> vikzx86: you could somehow figure out what package this mysterious 'extra fonts' thing was from automatix, and remove it with apt-get remove --purge packagename
[05:55] <blackjackel> my fglrxinfo output shows: OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8)
[05:55] <blackjackel> , does this mean im using an old version of the driver?
[05:55] <chdragonfly> jordan_U:if i use the xp installation cd, how do i do that?
[05:55] <Jordan_U> vikzx86, Go to the terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+F1 then run this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[05:55] <vikzx86> mobutu, I cant get Ubuntu to boot properly, there is a x windows error..
[05:56] <msingh> the cds seem identical.. there is no label to distinguish between them
[05:56] <n0n4m3> Nergar sshd isn't running.. i wouldn't know why it died... try starting it manually: /etc/init.d/sshd start
[05:56] <n0n4m3> Nergar or something like that
[05:56] <mobutu> vikzx86: look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:56] <n0n4m3> Nergar or even: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start
[05:56] <Nergar> n0n4m3, ok
[05:56] <ubos> hay anyone have opera?
[05:56] <ThePioneer> Now that I have ubuntu, can anyone tell me what I can do with it.. what to get into to?
[05:56] <Xenguy> /etc/init.d/ssh
[05:56] <Jordan_U> chdragonfly, I am not good with windows but there should be a recovery mode where you can get to a dos prompt and run chdisk ( I think that is the command ) you may get better help in #windows
[05:56] <ubos> the browser
[05:56] <n0n4m3> Xenguy my bad :)
[05:57] <Gerro> ThePioneer: what do you like to do with a computer?
[05:57] <wir3> is there a way to give the give control panel an theme?
[05:57] <n0n4m3> Nergar /etc/init.d/ssh start
[05:57] <blackjackel> how do I find out my kernel version anyone know?
[05:57] <Xenguy> uname -a
[05:57] <n0n4m3> blackjackel uname -r
[05:57] <ThePioneer> I'm not really sure....
[05:57] <ThePioneer> Networking
[05:57] <kevin__> vikzx86: what video card do you have? you can probably change xorg.conf to use vesa for a "safe mode" to fix your problem
[05:57] <mobutu> ThePioneer: look at terrible youtube URLs in Firefox
[05:58] <ThePioneer> Something that doesn't cost any money
[05:58] <wir3> is there an way to give panel an theme or change how it looks?
[05:58] <Jordan_U> vikzx86, Go to the terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+F1 then run this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[05:58] <chdragonfly> Jordan_u: thanks for the help, my sda1 and sda2 both disappeared from the desktop now....how can i just get it to appear on the desktop again? or is that due to my other problems?
[05:58] <ThePioneer> Mobutu: what do you mean?
[05:58] <Jordan_U> chdragonfly, That is due to the problems with the NTFS partitions
[05:58] <ThePioneer> Is there a way I can wget movies from Youtube?
[05:58] <vikzx86> kevin__, I have Intel 945 Mobo with Intel GMA 950
[05:58] <Gerro> ThePioneer: might want to install totem and grab all the gstreamer codec packages, grab adobe flash and sun java to install for browser, get direct rendering going for your graphics card..
[05:59] <emun> Jordan_U, i did not get get any message from bot concerning SAMBA i am confused
[05:59] <kd5owo> can anyone help with Ubuntu 6.06 and bluetooth?
[05:59] <pedro_> what folder do i place new fonts into for them to work?
[05:59] <mobutu> ThePioneer: i dont think you're in the right channel.
[05:59] <Xenguy> ThePioneer: clive works (and can convert to other non-proprietary formats also)
[05:59] <vikzx86> Jordan_U, Thanks i will try and be back..
[05:59] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, You can visit the site in the browser then grab the .flv from /tmp
[05:59] <kd5owo> The system sees the bluetooth adapter but my phone doesn't see my computer and my computer doesn't see my phone.
[05:59] <blackjackel> AHA! I MIGHT have found my problem! uname -r shows I'm running kernel verison 2.6.20 and fgrlxinfo shows i'm running driver version (8.34.8) and a look at the ati website shows the latest version supports my kernel 2.6.20. (which I am not running)... Is this my problem? or would it not work at all if it wasnt?
[05:59] <mobutu> Jordan_U: there's a bookmarklet that lets you save video from youtube
[06:00] <Nergar> n0n4m3, bad configuration file
[06:00] <Nergar> fixed it
[06:00] <msingh> no one knows?
[06:00] <ThePioneer> I need a bluetooth stack for my vx8300?
[06:00] <CyberMadz> what is lightest ubuntu version? i tried xubuntu, but it still slow
[06:00] <Xenguy> CyberMadz: fluxbox ?
[06:00] <Gerro> blackjackel: ati sucks, try mesa
[06:00] <blackjackel> Is there an easy console command to update my ATI drivers to the latest version?
[06:01] <ThePioneer> Jordan_U: what is the .flv ?
[06:01] <emun> help where can i learn about samba
[06:01] <blackjackel> Gerro: I used the non flrgx driver, and it sucked pretty damn bad
[06:01] <CyberMadz> Xenguy is that good?
[06:01] <Jordan_U> CyberMadz, You can install from the minimal install CD and use fluxbox, but it is not as user friendly
[06:01] <Gerro> blackjackel: no grab the ati linux installer from their site and hope it works, its very buggy
[06:01] <Nergar> CyberMadz, fuxbuntu i think, not official
[06:01] <mobutu> CyberMadz: there's nothing stopping you from using a different window manager like blackbox ( i think the name is different now?) ratpoison twm ctwm tvtwm
[06:01] <kevin__> blackjackel, have u trued envy?
[06:01] <mobutu> did blackbox change their name
[06:01] <Xenguy> CyberMadz: very light-weight, and has a lot of fans
[06:01] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, That is the actual video
[06:01] <blackjackel> kevin__: Yes, I have it... haven't run it yet though...
[06:01] <Gerro> kevin__: that thing so does not work :P
[06:02] <Xenguy> CyberMadz: I don't use it myself, so that's about all I know reliably
[06:02] <Nergar> CyberMadz, fluxbuntu or fluxubuntu something like that
[06:02] <kd5owo> The bluetooth adapter is a KY-B100 and the phone is a Razr v3r
[06:02] <crossout> Hi im trying to reinstall ubuntu is there a way to do it with out formating the HD, it cant seem to find an option to just install it
[06:02] <kevin__> blackjackel, worked on edgy for me, but im on feisty now, and i haven't tried it
[06:02] <CyberMadz> thanks for your answer :)
[06:02] <Gerro> kd5owo: you installed the bluez tools right?
[06:02] <blackjackel> kevin__, running it as we speak, hopefully it will update to the latest version
[06:03] <ThePioneer> so something like wget http://youtube.com/spiderman3.flv ??
[06:03] <kd5owo> Gerro: Yes
[06:03] <emun> where can i learn about SAMBA
[06:03] <Lilacor> emun: at your local bookstore
[06:03] <Jordan_U> crossout, No, there is no way to install Ubuntu without reformatting ( you can get the same effect by putting /home on a seperate partition though to make it easier in the future )
[06:03] <kd5owo> Gerro: bluez-utils and gnome-bluetooth
[06:03] <Lilacor> emun: or you might be able to find something through HOWTO SAMBA
[06:04] <Jordan_U> !samba | emun
[06:04] <ubotu> emun: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[06:04] <ThePioneer> emun: try join #Samba
[06:04] <CyberMadz> so what is the plus and minus between xubuntu, fluxbuntu, ubuntu?

[06:05] <tonyyarusso> !samba | ThePioneer
[06:05] <emun> Lilacor , which book at the bookstore
[06:05] <ubotu> ThePioneer: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[06:05] <ThePioneer> Haha
[06:05] <Nergar> how do i install LAMP in ubuntu desktop?
[06:05] <diaruemnus> sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server
[06:05] <Nergar> manually?
[06:05] <Nergar> lol
[06:05] <kevin__> CyberMadz: tradeoff between usability and memory consumption in my opinion
[06:05] <Nergar> ok thnks
[06:05] <pedro_> how do i install truetype fonts?
[06:05] <ThePioneer> Windows environments such as?
[06:06] <Gerro> pedro_: open up synaptic and search for it
[06:06] <diaruemnus> true type fonts are available in the repositories
[06:06] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, A windows file server
[06:06] <blackjackel> There, apparently I'm running the latest ATI drivers, but how do I get to the ATI control panel?
[06:06] <pedro_> how do i install one that i downloaded manually?
[06:07] <CyberMadz> kevin__ ok.. so why people use ubuntu, if there is lightest version like fluxbuntu?
[06:07] <doll_know_love> who can help me use 4VNMod.exe
[06:07] <Jordan_U> pedro_, they are in the package msttcorefonts sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[06:07] <Gerro> pedro_: don't bother its easier using synaptic
[06:07] <Steil>  http://pastebin.ca/499536 <-- any ideas?
[06:07] <kevin__> CyberMadz: probably cause it's better supported and easier to use
[06:07] <Gat0rvean> Can someone tell me how to remove applications from the main menu list?
[06:07] <Elive_user15> is it possible to add applications in the live cd mode
[06:08] <Jordan_U> Elive_user15, yes
[06:08] <joejaxx> CyberMadz: because Ubuntu is the official parent project
[06:08] <ThePioneer> I guess I want to do something where I know I'll get the most I can out of ubuntu
[06:08] <Frogzoo> blackjackel: you can install fglrx-control
[06:08] <kevin__> blackjackel: cant help you there mate, no idea
[06:08] <Jordan_U> CyberMadz, Ubuntu with gnome is easier to use
[06:08] <Elive_user15> jordan, to add i suppose i use apt function just like i have a hard drive install?
[06:09] <pedro_> OK, Now, who can Answer my question? That question again was, how do i install a font that i downloaded? In other words, what folder do i copy it to?
[06:09] <Flannel> !fonts | pedro_
[06:09] <bimberi> !fonts | pedro_
[06:09] <ubotu> pedro_: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[06:09] <cb2> whats the command to get an x86.run to work? i need the command for permissions
[06:09] <Jordan_U> Elive_user15, Yup, just make sure you don't install too much and run out of RAM :)
[06:09] <bimberi> :)
[06:09] <Jordan_U> cb2, chmod +x
[06:09] <cb2> ah chmod thats it thanks :)
[06:10] <kd5owo> Gerro: well, I got it working... I needed another file
[06:10] <Elive_user15> jordan is there a way to save what i have  added to livecd state like you can with knoppix and its "persistant home"
[06:10] <tarelerulz> When , I  transfer  file from my windows computer to my xbox I have to set the ip to static on lan connection  and I was wondering how I would do that with ubuntu?
[06:11] <kevin__> later people
[06:11] <m0u5e> whenever i try to full size my games, gnome crashes, anyone know whats going on?
[06:11] <Jordan_U> tarelerulz, System -> Administration -> Networking
[06:11] <Frogzoo> CyberMadz: light != full featured
[06:11] <Jordan_U> Elive_user15, You can if you have a thumb drive
[06:12] <Miso> How I can serve files from my computer in ubuntu?
[06:12] <m0u5e> miso: use samba
[06:12] <Jordan_U> Elive_user15, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence
[06:12] <cb2> ok, when I run the installer .run, it sya s verifying archive integirty, then shows a buncha little dots ...... then its just exits back to command line
[06:13] <cb2> why is this
[06:13] <m0u5e> miso: find it under synaptics, it supports simple file sharing between windows computers
[06:13] <cb2> no error or anyhting
[06:13] <ThePioneer> Jordan_U: How would I go about getting the .flv?
[06:13] <ThePioneer> A Url I assume?
[06:13] <Elive_user15> jordan great thanks for link and will give a try
[06:13] <m0u5e> Anyone know why my games crash whenever i try to full screen them?
[06:13] <ThePioneer> /tmp
[06:13] <tarelerulz> I have other thing to ask . how would I get my ftp client to use my lan connection an not my wireless one ?
[06:14] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, No, just navigate to /tmp on your machine, that is where Firefox ( and all other ) applications store temporary files
[06:14] <ThePioneer> Ahh
[06:15] <Miso> m0u5e: for instance if I want to make something available for download as a clickable link but served from my computer, i can do that with samba?
[06:15] <ThePioneer> How would I open that /tmp through a shell nautilus?
[06:15] <m0u5e> miso: you should... after you share it, just give them your IP address (if your using KDE, you'll be able to specify the port (kde should have a built in file sharing app)
[06:15] <Jordan_U> Miso, No, you would have to use apache for that
[06:15] <m0u5e> miso: are you planning on doing server operations or simpel file sharing?
[06:15] <cb2> miso ho knee
[06:16] <m0u5e> simple*
[06:16] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, / == "filesystem" in nautilus
[06:16] <Miso> server operations, I want to serve some of my things from my computer like a server rather than uploading them to other services
[06:16] <ThePioneer> I'm in /tmp I don't see anything pertaining to Youtube
[06:17] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, Do you have the video open in Firefox?
[06:17] <ThePioneer> Yes
[06:17] <RNHavens> My DMESG is filling with Additional sense: Tracking servo failure, what does this mean?  Which drive is failing, I am only seeing cryptic numbers.
[06:17] <Gat0rvean> I had to reinstall Gnome, and I no longer have the "Main Menu" option to change what shows up on the "application" "places" and "system" tabs
[06:17] <Miso> b2: ho knee?
[06:17] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, And there is no .flv file in /tmp ?
[06:17] <Frogzoo> m0u5e: wine games?
[06:17] <Miso> cb2: ho knee?
[06:18] <ThePioneer> I see Flash9ocP0A
[06:18] <ThePioneer> I think thats it?
[06:18] <ThePioneer> No what would I do with it?
[06:18] <ThePioneer> Just ave it elsewhere?
[06:18] <RNHavens> up wait i see it now. sr0 is going bye bye
[06:18] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, That's it, double click it and it will play in totem :)
[06:18] <chrisjs169> is it possible to use iptables (sorry, must be iptables =/) to redirect all traffic from a local ip to another ip??
[06:18] <chrisjs169> *?
[06:19] <ThePioneer> And is it possible to save it?
[06:19] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, Move the file to wherever you want it :)
[06:19] <ThePioneer> I got it!
[06:19] <ThePioneer> Thanks man
[06:19] <Gerro> how can I telnet over tor? what command would I use?
[06:19] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, np
[06:19] <ThePioneer> I thought I had to wget
[06:19] <FunnyLookinHat> Gerro, "torify telnet"
[06:20] <FunnyLookinHat> Gerro, you can add torify to the beginning of any command to make it work through Tor
[06:20] <cb2> miso: say it
[06:20] <cb2> miso: say "ho knee"
[06:20] <Frogzoo> Gerro: maybe you want ssh
[06:20] <Gerro> FunnyLookinHat: thx a lot, was wracking my brain on this
[06:20] <Gerro> Frogzoo: nah I use ssh for other stuff
[06:21] <Carnage\> Is 512 MB of swap-partition acceptable for a system with also 512 MB of RAM?
[06:21] <kandrews> Hi, my capslock key doesn't work in terminals unless I sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup in a console (doesn't work in virtual terminal). Anyone have any thoughts on how to get the capslock key to work permanently? Thanks!
[06:21] <c0re^> hey, might anyone know why steam wont work with cedega?
[06:21] <blackjackel> This process seems to have frozen, how do I terminate it through the GUI?
[06:21] <SpeakerMania> Can someone help me add a line to GRUB to boot to my windows drive?
[06:21] <blackjackel> Is there something similar to a control - alt - delete?
[06:21] <RAOF> Carnage\: Yes, should be.  If you need to use more than 512mb of swap, your system will be unusably slow anyway :)
[06:21] <Carnage\> blackjackel: You can press Ctrl+Alt+Esc
[06:21] <Frogzoo> Carnage\: sure, you might find that a bit limited, but will work
[06:22] <kandrews> to clarify, only my tty[1-6]  have the problem.
[06:22] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, You can have grub re-check for other OS's by running: sudo update-grub
[06:22] <c0re^> Carnage\, when i do, it does nothing.
[06:22] <blackjackel> Carnage\, it dosen't seem to kill the process
[06:22] <arbrown> SpeakerMania: what would you like to know?
[06:22] <SpeakerMania> Can you explain firther? I'm new to GRUB and Linux commands
[06:22] <ThePioneer> Jordan_U know any other little tricks?
[06:22] <SpeakerMania> *further
[06:22] <Carnage\> blackjackel: Then run xkill
[06:22] <Carnage\> And klick on the window to be killed
[06:22] <Lounge> I was wondering about the NSA; is ubuntu safe from NSA spying?
[06:23] <c0re^> Lounge, as safe as any other distribution would be.
[06:23] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, Try running "sudo update-grub" in a terminal and it *should* add a line for windows :)
[06:23] <Lounge> er... is that a yes?
[06:23] <SpeakerMania> Okay, I'll have to reboot to try that. Thanks.
[06:23] <Lounge> is there a way to keep them from monitoring tcp/ip?
[06:24] <c0re^> Lounge, well, it is open source, so they might be able to find a flaw and exploit it to their advantage, but they can do that with any distribution (thats open source)
[06:24] <chrisjs169> is it possible to use iptables (sorry, must be iptables =/) to redirect all traffic from a local ip to another ip?
[06:24] <Jordan_U> Lounge, TOR, ( but don't use it for large downloads or P2P please )
[06:24] <c0re^> Lounge, if you can find out their ip address range you can ignore packets from them with moblock
[06:24] <SpeakerMania> Jordan_U: Once it adds a line for Windows, will GRUB automatically boot to Windows? And does it matter if I have them installed on separate HDDs?
[06:24] <c0re^> Lounge, or you can do as Jordan_U says and route traffic through TOR
[06:24] <justin_> mmmmmmmmmm
[06:25] <justin_> anyone know much about ati dual mons?
[06:25] <c0re^> (not very fast)
[06:25] <Lounge> tor eh?
[06:25] <kmasta> ????
[06:25] <Lounge> i'll look into that
[06:25] <c0re^> Lounge, http://tor.eff.org
[06:25] <justin_> i got dual mon support in the xorg.conf but it seems that each is doing something very wierd
[06:25] <puzzle> besser ;0
[06:25] <Lounge> thanx for the 411
[06:25] <justin_> it does indeed do both desktops and then chooses which to display
[06:25] <c0re^> Lounge, np
[06:25] <Frogzoo> Lounge: you think the NSA have free resources to go after your extensive pr0n archive?
[06:25] <c0re^> hey, might anyone know why steam wont work with cedega?
[06:25] <blackjackel> This is really odd, now I have these little windows, but all they have in them are icons, really small icons,
[06:25] <justin_> and hten both monitors clone each other instead of actually shoing the thing lol
[06:25] <Lounge> i believe in PRIVACY!!!
[06:25] <justin_> @_@
[06:25] <Lounge> damn it
[06:25] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, No, GRUB will give you the option of running windows or Ubuntu when you boot
[06:25] <arbrown> SpeakerMania: you will have a choice of which OS to boot. Doesn't matter if they are on separate drives so long as your menu.lst is setup properly and that drive is ste to boot. If update-grub doesn't do the trick: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html
[06:26] <SpeakerMania> Cool, thanks!
[06:26] <kmasta> O_o
[06:26] <m0u5e> frogzoo: wine games, and now regular games too

[06:27] <kmasta> i'm new who are you?
[06:27] <SpeakerMania> Jordan_U: So after I get the line added and it displays the option, I should always boot form the Ubuntu drive to make sure the Windows bootloader doesn't take over?
[06:28] <n2diy> kmasta: I'm not new.
[06:28] <c0re^> hey, might anyone know why steam wont work with cedega? it kind of just sits there and does nothing...

[06:35] <pnorris> If you are sure that the iPod is properly mounted at '/media/ipod', gtkpod can create the directory structure for you.
[06:35] <pnorris> Do you want to create the directory structure now?   i click yes and then it takes me to a screen where i select my version and then it says this:  Error initialising iPod: Problem creating iPod directory or file: '/media/ipod/iPod_Control'.
[06:35] <pnorris>   what am i doing wrong?
[06:35] <n2diy> DTtrump: ok, CLU

[06:35] <imbecile> how can I change my splash? I want to change it to this one http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Click+n+Load?content=51902
[06:35] <c0re^> pnorris, you might not have permission to make that directory, so make it for the program
[06:36] <c0re^> pnorris, sudo mkdir /media/ipod/iPod_Control
[06:36] <r4nge> when i install if i create a partition for "/boot" will the installation automatically put the normal /boot file in that partition...  i ahvent done an install in a while so dont remember

[06:40] <solar_ant> what is the best wayto update from breezy to edgy over ssh ? change apt sources and apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[06:40] <c0re^> solar_ant, sounds good to me.
[06:40] <Madpilot> kandrews, you mean to have it permanently on? You don't want that, the command line is case sensitive...
[06:40] <n2diy> ! solar_ant | upgrade
[06:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about solar_ant - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:40] <solar_ant> c0re^:  :) ok will go with that !
[06:40] <kane_> anyone have any idea how to get the " X Int10 " server module for Xorg?
[06:40] <cables> If I reply to something on Launchpad using my email client, should I sign the message? Since Launchpad has my PGP keys, will it check to make sure the address hasn't been spoofed?
[06:41] <Madpilot> solar_ant, you can't skip Ubuntu releases. You'd have to go Breezy->Dapper->Edgy->Feisty
[06:41] <imbecile> hey guys, where do i find usplash?
[06:41] <RAOF> solar_ant: Be *extremely* careful upgrading over SSH.  It's entirely possible that the upgrade will disconnect your box.
[06:41] <Jordan_U> cables, No need, I never do :)
[06:41] <cables> It should require that
[06:41] <cables> anyone can spoof an email address
[06:41] <n2diy> ! upgrade |  solar_ant
[06:41] <ubotu> solar_ant: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[06:42] <c0re^> anyone know why steam just doesnt work in wine, as well as cedega? it says its updating but just sits there.
[06:42] <solar_ant> thanks !
[06:42] <LuisGMarine> Anyone here get ut2004 working on Feisty AMD64?
[06:42] <pnorris> hey guys i am having trouble mounting my ipod in gtkpod.  what do i need to do?
[06:42] <RAOF> solar_ant: Particularly if network-manager is involved somewhere in there.  If you don't have local access, you could end up with an unreachable box.
[06:42] <kmasta> i'm new
[06:42] <imbecile> hey guys, where do i find usplash? is there a gui for it?
[06:43] <Madpilot> kmasta, if you just want to chat, please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:43] <kandrews> Madpilot: My console capslock key just doesn't work in any of the non-virtual consoles until I reconfigure console-setup. But then I have to do that every time a turn on my laptop.
[06:43] <n2diy> kmasta:  I just checked in, what is your question about Ubuntu?
[06:43] <jason123> hi how do i inatall OpenGL
[06:43] <solar_ant> RAOF:  is it possible to let the upgrade continue even if the ssh disconnects ?
[06:44] <Jordan_U> cables, I believe that I have replied to launchpad from my email account but now that I think of it I am not sure, but I don't think that it is necessary, anyone can make a fake account too, and people in authority do sign their comments on launchpad from what I have seen
[06:44] <GomoX> Hey
[06:44] <Jordan_U> solar_ant, Use screen
[06:44] <Ademan> anyone know of a c/c++ IDE that has vim integration? I'd be using KDevelop right now probably, if it wasn't for my addiction to vim (i'm friggin sick of editing configure.ac and Makefile.am files, and i've only done it once...)
[06:44] <cables> Jordan_U, ah, ok
[06:44] <solar_ant> Jordan_U: ?
[06:44] <c0re^> jason123, by installing the corresponding driver to your video card.
[06:44] <GomoX> Is it possible to have gnome switch virtual desktops by scrolling with the mouse wheel on the desktop?
[06:44] <jason123> ok
[06:44] <Jordan_U> !info screen | solar_ant
[06:45] <ubotu> solar_ant: screen: a terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. In component main, is optional. Version 4.0.3-0.2ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 571 kB, installed size 980 kB
[06:45] <Madpilot> GomoX, you can use the scrollwheel when you hover over the desktop selector widget
[06:45] <pnorris> any help with gtkpod?
[06:45] <Jordan_U> solar_ant, it will basically let you reconnect to the same running session ( among other things ) even if you get disconnected
[06:45] <GomoX> Yeah but that kind of beats the point
[06:45] <dru> hello, im really getting sick of my firefox turning all grey and crashing ... why is it doing that?
[06:45] <GomoX> :/
[06:46] <RAOF> solar_ant: Yes.  Start it up in a screen session, and then disconnect from the screen.
[06:46] <kandrews> dru: do you have flash installed?
[06:46] <dru> sure do
[06:46] <Jordan_U> dru, Does it do it when you are viewing flash videos?
[06:46] <solar_ant> nice :)
[06:46] <dru> sometimes
[06:46] <dru> but i wasnt just not .. and it did
[06:46] <dru> now**
[06:46] <RAOF> solar_ant: However, this still isn't guaranteed to get it working, since if you've changed some config it'll ask if you want to overwrite it.
[06:47] <Atook> Ahoy! I'm an ubuntu noob, and I have a question about getting a wireless card to start.
[06:47] <c0re^> anyone know why steam just doesnt work in wine, as well as cedega? it says its updating but just sits there.
[06:47] <Jordan_U> Atook, Do you know what the chipset of the card is?
[06:47] <dru> jordan_u: why does it crash? ... it never did on windows
[06:47] <pnorris> i need some help mounting and ipod in gtkpod
[06:48] <RAOF> c0re^: Because it doesn't work in wine?  Not everything does, and Cedega's whole reason for existance is to play games like Steam.
[06:48] <Atook> I've just installed, and my wireless card (Linksys WPC54g) it shows up in hardware, but can't see my wireless network.
[06:48] <Jordan_U> dru, The flash plugin for Linux has been mostly neglected by Adobe / macromedia, as for anything else I don't know, I don't have any other problems
[06:48] <linuxacolyspe> Who likes XFCE? I installed it last night....it  flies! :-)
[06:48] <c0re^> RAOF, well, it doesnt work in either
[06:48] <RAOF> !wireless > Atook <----- Read the private message from ubotu
[06:48] <Ademan> linuxacolyspe: i liked it for a bit, it sucks with the network-manager-applet though
[06:49] <dru> well i help run a flash site so i kinda have to view a couple hundred flash movies / animations a day
[06:49] <Ademan> it keeps magically replicating
[06:49] <c0re^> RAOF, it sits there, consuming no network traffic, saying its updating..
[06:49] <solar_ant> RAOF:  anyway to give default answers for configs ?
[06:49] <n2diy> Atook:  does ifconfig see the card?
[06:49] <Atook> ifconfig?
[06:49] <RAOF> c0re^: Oh, I parsed that wrong, sorry.  Dunno, ask the winehq.org application database?
[06:49] <n2diy> yes
[06:49] <linuxacolyspe> Ademan: I don't do networking, it's just fast for me. :-)
[06:49] <c0re^> RAOF, also, while trying to play enemy territory, the server browser is blank, but i can connect to servers fine. i have et installed on my windows box and it retreives servers properly.
[06:49] <RAOF> solar_ant: You could _try_ "yes | sudo aptitude dist-upgrade".
[06:50] <c0re^> RAOF, thanks, ill check there for the steam problem.
[06:50] <Atook> umm..
[06:50] <Jordan_U> Atook, I think that is a broadcom card, you just need the firmware for it if that is true ( it can't be included by default for legal reasons ) you can get it by installing the package bcm43xx-fwcutter with synaptic
[06:50] <RAOF> solar_ant: But that's going to say "yes" to *everything*, so again, be wary!
[06:50] <Atook> it is broadcom I think, I have to download this bcm43xx file then?
[06:50] <dru> jordan_u: any way i can listen to the music on my zune device that is plugged in via usb? ... do i need to update my usb ports? because i read sumwhere that ubuntu is 1.1 and i need 2.0
[06:51] <n2diy> Atook:  include my nick in your replies, that rings my bell here. Open a terminal, type ifconfig, and see if your card is listed.
[06:51] <c0re^> RAOF, also, while trying to play enemy territory, the server browser is blank, but i can connect to servers fine. i have et installed on my windows box and it retreives servers properly.
[06:51] <solar_ant> RAOF:  yes is to keep the current version right ?
[06:51] <RAOF> dru: That's wrong, Ubuntu supports both USB 1.1 & 2.0 (and everything else)
[06:51] <Atook> n2diy: Thanks, I'm giving it a go.
[06:51] <dru> well how do i view my zune device? because when i plug it in, nothing shows up
[06:51] <RAOF> solar_ant: "Yes" is to overwrite your config with the defaults.  It doesn't seem that there's a "no" program :)
[06:52] <n2diy> Atook:  Roger roger
[06:52] <Jordan_U> dru, No, Linux has supported USB 2.0 longer than WIndows AFIK, but I don't know how to use a Zune :(
[06:52] <RAOF> solar_ant: you *may* be OK, since all those questions should be asked before any packages are actually installed.
[06:52] <divy1> all: I'm not able to run shell script..same script is running on fedora system but not on the ubuntu system
[06:53] <dru> oh ... how would i go about seeing what is plugged into my usb ports?
[06:53] <Atook> n2diy: looks like it ran a 'ping' command, no errors or collisions.
[06:53] <Madpilot> dru, ask Bill when he's going to release *nix support for his iPod-killer ;)
[06:53] <c0re^> RAOF, also, while trying to play enemy territory, the server browser is blank, but i can connect to servers fine. i have et installed on my windows box and it retreives servers properly.
[06:53] <Atook> n2diy: don't see anything about the card though.
[06:53] <Jordan_U> divy1, Does it reference /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash?
[06:53] <Madpilot> dru, "lsusb" in the terminal
[06:53] <RAOF> c0re^: I don't know anything about that.  I'm not a wine expert.  And I saw your question the first time :)
[06:53] <n2diy> Atook:  ok, run lshw, does that show it?
[06:53] <divy1> Jordan_U: yes
[06:53] <c0re^> RAOF, sorry, i assumed you didnt because you didnt respond
[06:54] <dru> madpilot: how do i launch it?
[06:54] <RAOF> c0re^: Nah, just doing other things :)
[06:54] <c0re^> RAOF, but, the thing is, its not running from wine.. its native linux.
[06:54] <RAOF> c0re^: Still, I don't know.
[06:54] <Madpilot> dru, Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[06:54] <c0re^> RAOF, thanks anyway :)
[06:54] <Atook> n2diy: Yeah it shows a bradcom wireless lan controller
[06:54] <dru> i know that
[06:54] <dru> i mean how do i launch whats in the usb
[06:54] <Jordan_U> divy1, If it is your script you should get out of that habbit, you should never assume that /bin/sh == /bin/bash , because many times it doesn't ( like in Ubuntu :)
[06:55] <Madpilot> dru, depends what it is. I've no idea if there are any *nix apps that talk to Zunes
[06:55] <n2diy> Atook:  ok, copy the make, model, FCC number, whatever, and google for a linux module/driver for it.
[06:55] <linuxacolyspe> XFCE is like SunOS on steroids....well, I do have a fast system and XFCE has a small memory footprint...but could you do that with Windows Whatever? Yes, I am a nerd
[06:55] <Madpilot> dru, if it mounts as a drive, you might be able to get at it - but if it mounted as a drive, it should have showed up on the desktop like USB keys do
[06:55] <LuisGMarine> linuxacolyspe: I don't think so
[06:55] <linuxacolyspe> LOL
[06:55] <Atook> n2diy: I'll give it a shot. Thanks
[06:56] <divy1> Jordan_U: i used /bin/sh but the problem is that i can not manipulate the variables declared
[06:56] <Jordan_U> Atook, Did fwcutter get your card working?
[06:56] <LuisGMarine> linuxacolyspe: I don't think windows allows people to change the DE for a less memory hog one
[06:56] <linuxacolyspe> Luis: Why?
[06:56] <n2diy> Atook:  if you can find the module/driver for it, then you have a shot at firing it up. How old is it?
[06:56] <dru> madpilot: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 058f:9360 Alcor Micro Corp. ... i think thats it
[06:56] <dru> but it doesnt show on the desktop
[06:56] <Toma-> linuxacolyspe: you can use bloackbox on windows, iirc
[06:56] <Toma-> *blackbox
[06:56] <Zelda> hello. I have a logitech mx518 gamers mouse. I have 5 buttons. How do I get the two by my thumbs to work for browsing back and forth in folders and in firefox?
[06:57] <LuisGMarine> Zelda, one second, let me find you the guide
[06:57] <homanj> i am running feisty on a pretty clean install, any reason why i cannot scale the rythmbox window horizontally?
[06:57] <Jordan_U> divy1, Probably because you are using BASH syntax instead of DASH syntax ( /bin/sh == dash in Ubuntu ) Try calling BASH if that is what you want your script to be interpreted in
[06:57] <linuxacolyspe> Luis: I was only talking about using a low memory usage window manager. :-)
[06:57] <RAOF> divy1: You're probably using bashisms (ie: things which are legal in bash but *not* in POSIX sh).  You could fix this by using the #!/bin/bash shebang, to make sure it runs in bash rather than sh
[06:57] <Toma-> linuxacolyspe: http://www.bb4win.org/news.php
[06:58] <linuxacolyspe> Blackbox is good...just can't make it owrk in Unbuntu
[06:58] <linuxacolyspe> work
[06:58] <Lemo1> hello
[06:58] <Elive_user15> hello
[06:58] <n2diy> RAOF: Bash doesn't conform with POSIX? How'd it become so popular?
[06:58] <Lemo1> I'm using a LCD monitor,
[06:58] <dru> jordan_u, madpilot: im having another problem, when i have beryl open. sumtimes when i open a new window, the windows is black and i cant see the window
[06:58] <Lemo1> and there's a few pixels missing at the top
[06:59] <linuxacolyspe> Luis Tomas, gracias, amigos. :-)
[06:59] <GomoX> it's not that bash is not posix
[06:59] <GomoX> it's that posix is not bash
[06:59] <LuisGMarine> Zelda hold on bud, still looking
[06:59] <Lemo1> How do I adjust the display position?
[06:59] <Lemo1> ...so that the entire display fits on the monitor?
[06:59] <Jordan_U> n2diy, Bash is POSIX like a square is a rectangle
[06:59] <RAOF>  n2diy: Bash *does* conform with POSIX, but you're obviously using some extensions.  Bash is POSIX + extensions.
[06:59] <Madpilot> dru, I don't run beryl - I generally avoid alpha-release software...
[06:59] <GomoX> POSIX compliant scripts will run in bash, but not every bash script is POSIX compliant therefore it might not run on other POSIX shells
[06:59] <RAOF> Jordan_U: Nice geometry analogy
[07:00] <dru> madpilot: oh i like it, but its just annoying to see a black screen sumtimes
[07:00] <homanj> Zelda: this might work for you: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/12/01/support-for-5-button-mouse-in-firefox-ubuntu-6061-610/
[07:00] <antum> Hi I need help getting http svn access working, I think I've got all permissions set correctly but still receiving: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem. I've asked in #svn but no response yet
[07:00] <Zelda> homanj: yeah great thanks
[07:01] <homanj> Zelda: you might need to change the button mapping around.
[07:01] <LuisGMarine> Zelda http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Activate_side-mouse-buttons_in_FireFox
[07:01] <LuisGMarine> that too
[07:01] <niru> hi
[07:01] <homanj> sorry LuisGMarine, i had to visit that page already today so I had it handy.
[07:01] <divy1> Jordan_U: i am just trying out a simple scripy to reverse the arguments passed.i use avariable called counter.. but then when i try to increment it it says syntax error..i used counter=$((ounter - 1)).it says arith error.
[07:01] <homanj> didnt mean to cut in
[07:01] <Lemo1> So does the problem lie in xorg.conf?
[07:01] <LuisGMarine> homanj: no problem =P
[07:02] <Madpilot> dru, http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=20570728 <-- searched for 'Zune' on ubuntuforums - doesn't look promising, but have a look thru some of those threads
[07:02] <LuisGMarine> zelda I have the same mouse and I'm going to do the " hack " right now, so I'll let you know if it works or not
[07:02] <Jordan_U> divy1, Does it work when you call BASH?
[07:02] <LuisGMarine> Anyone here get ut2004 working on Feisty?
[07:02] <dru> :( if i cant have my zune, looks like i have to convert back to windows
[07:02] <LuisGMarine> AMD64 that is
[07:02] <Zelda> LuisGMarine: THANKS! thats exactly what I need
[07:02] <Lemo1> Oy
[07:03] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  RAOF, I' m asking because I don't know. I'm a hardware guy, and I know that a square isn't a rectangle. But I don't know what is POSIX, and what isn't. I've been playing with Linux for 7 years, and I thought Bash was the scripting language of choice for us scripting handicapped?
[07:03] <kyah2004> hey there could anyone tell me the reason why firefox would crash when i try to load flash website
[07:03] <divy1> no it shows same thing when i used bash
[07:03] <divy1> Jordan_U: it showed the same thing when i used BASH also
[07:04] <Toma-> LuisGMarine: not on 64bit, but 32bit, sure
[07:04] <divy1> Jordan_U: how am i supposed to use shebang?
[07:04] <n2diy> kyah2004: You don't have the plug ins loaded? And don't ask me how to load them, the last time I tried was a "disaster."
[07:04] <Jordan_U> divy1, #! /bin/bash
[07:04] <RAOF> n2diy: Actually, a square *is* a rectangle.  It's just a rectangle where all the sides are equal.
[07:05] <LuisGMarine> Toma-: I'll ask you these two questions, how did you apply the linux patch?
[07:05] <fxfitz> Hi there. I'm trying to play a video with mplayer, but when I go to fullscreen the aspect ratio doesn't change. This used to work and I don't know what might have changed it. Can anyone help??
[07:05] <Toma-> LuisGMarine: i used an installer
[07:05] <divy1> Jordan_U: yeah i did that and then <space>shebang
[07:05] <LuisGMarine> Toma-: the patch has an installer?
[07:05] <n2diy> RAOF: I thought that was what defined the difference between a square and  a rectangle?
[07:06] <Toma-> LuisGMarine: the installer included the patch
[07:06] <RAOF> n2diy: So the analogy is "bash is POSIX in the same way a square is a rectangle, ie: it's got all the properties of a rectangle + plus some extras".  If you *use* the extra bash functionality in a shell script, then it's no longer a POSIX shell script.
[07:06] <orbin> fxfitz: add 'zoom=yes' (w/out wuotes) to ~/.mplayer/config
[07:06] <orbin> *quotes
[07:06] <fxfitz> orbin, But what changed? :(
[07:06] <LuisGMarine> Toma-: I can't find an installer in this folder patch
[07:06] <divy1> Jordan_U: even when i used BASH it showed the same thing
[07:07] <RAOF> n2diy: A square is a rectangle with all sides equal, or equivelantly a rhombus with right angles.  Think of it like multiple inheritance :)
[07:07] <Zelda> LuisGMarine: That didnt work.
[07:07] <LuisGMarine> Zelda did you restart?
[07:07] <orbin> fxfitz: oh, i might be thinking of something else actually.
[07:07] <Zelda> no. ill be backj
[07:07] <fxfitz> orbin, Actually, it /did/ work
[07:07] <LuisGMarine> Zelda you have to restart X for changes to take effect
[07:07] <fxfitz> orbin, But I was wondering why it didn't work anymore.
[07:07] <LuisGMarine> or not
[07:07] <n2diy> RAOF: Ok, so Bash can step outside the POSIX specs., does that effect me when I'm editing my .rc scripts? Or am I safe to play with them?
[07:07] <orbin> fxfitz: *shrug*
[07:07] <Toma-> LuisGMarine: http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=17
[07:08] <RAOF> n2diy: As long as you *specify* /bin/bash, you're cool.  It's when you try to pass a bash script off as POSIX that you get into trouble :)
[07:08] <linuxacolyspe> What kind if window manager does everyone use here?
[07:08] <fxfitz> orbin, Well thanks! Have a great night.
[07:08] <RAOF> An OpenGL compositing window manager
[07:08] <Toma-> linuxacolyspe: being a gnome disto, metacity.
[07:09] <linuxacolyspe> cool
[07:09] <c0re^> compiz + AIGLX
[07:09] <Atook> Jordan, not sure what fwcutter is. N2DIY: Fiesty didn't install ndis, I think, so I can't install the windows linksys drivers?
[07:09] <n2diy> RAOF:  Ok, have to go find my geometry book. Roger running !/bin/bash. I remember that from my Perl class. :)
[07:10] <c0re^> RAOF, i think i have some sort of error with my network. its too coincidental that enemy territory cant find punkbuster, the master server list, and cant connect to steam for updates.
[07:10] <DShepherd> how can i kill a gnome session from the command line.. without logging out other users that might logged in..
[07:10] <c0re^> DShepherd, sudo killall gdm
[07:10] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> that will kill the other users
[07:10] <c0re^> DShepherd, wait, without logging out people
[07:11] <DShepherd> c0re^, that's what i said
[07:11] <c0re^> DShepherd, i dont suggest trying my solution then
[07:11] <n2diy> Atook:  Can't help you with Winders stuff, see if you can find the Linux modules for your device, then, maybe, we can help you.
[07:11] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> DShepherd: login into any terminal with the account you want to stop the session, and type kill -9 -1
[07:11] <DShepherd> c0re^, yeah me neither..
[07:12] <Jordan_U> Atook, You don't need or want NDIS wrapper, install the package bcm43xx-fwcutter
[07:13] <danielmarsom> hi, i need help with installing gtk+2.10 or over that
[07:13] <danielmarsom> i need to install the gtk aurora engine
[07:13] <Pijiu> how do I create a folder in file system, it says I don't have permission
[07:14] <danielmarsom> and i am having trouble, could anyone point me in the right durection
[07:14] <Zelda> LuisGMarine: well that worked. Except now I dont have my set background, and beryl isnt working anymore.
[07:14] <danielmarsom> Pijiu:  if its saying you dont have permission, you must be root to do that
[07:14] <danielmarsom> so use the command
[07:14] <LuisGMarine> Zelda, did you change anything else in the config?
[07:14] <Pijiu> I was root it still didn't let me
[07:14] <danielmarsom> sudo nautilus
[07:15] <danielmarsom> gee... you must have screwy permissions]
[07:15] <gonzoism> i'm trying to install ubuntu-desktop and apt-get is installing from the net instead of the cdrom i put in for it
[07:15] <Zelda> luisGMarine: Nope. I copied and pasted everything that dealt with that in that tutorial.
[07:15] <gonzoism> how do i get apt to use the packages on the cd ?
[07:15] <c0re^> gonzoism, use the synaptic option to install from cd
[07:15] <gonzoism> it looks like it is ignoring them
[07:15] <LuisGMarine> Zelda, try running beryl-manager, and from there right click on the red diamon and make sure that under Window manager or something,  is set to beryl not , metacy
[07:15] <danielmarsom> sudo apt-cdrom add
[07:15] <Alan_> Ug.. I'm loading my wifi kernel module but no devices get created
[07:15] <gonzoism> core i am in console
[07:16] <Alan_> Confirmed it is loading with lsmod
[07:16] <Zelda> Ok thats fixed.
[07:16] <Zelda> Now what happened to my backgrounds?
[07:16] <LuisGMarine> Zelda beryl is?
[07:16] <Zelda> yeah
[07:16] <gonzoism> c0re^ i am in console.  what file do i edit ?
[07:16] <c0re^> gonzoism so you cant use synaptic... hmm
[07:16] <Zelda> my themes messed up
[07:16] <DShepherd> \x6e\x65\x72\x64, that mostly worked.. there was this sound though.. that i couldnt get rid of ,,, the start up for the gdm before you login that is
[07:17] <LuisGMarine> Zelda sorry to say but that has nothing to do with you changing the files in xorg.conf, if you say you only edited the mouse parts , that's something else
[07:17] <c0re^> gonzoism, you're probably going to have to use aptitude, but i dont know the specific command..
[07:17] <c0re^> gonzoism let me look it up.
[07:17] <Zelda> well everything was working until I rebooted. How do I reload the last one?
[07:17] <gonzoism> c0re^ ok.  also i would like to install the suggested packages at the same time if you see that there
[07:17] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> DShepherd: i have that problem on a laptop, that sound keeps playing whenever I do anything.. weird stuff, couldn't fix either :/
[07:18] <LuisGMarine> Zelda, open up terminal and type in, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart
[07:18] <DShepherd> \x6e\x65\x72\x64, oh well.. thanks. i eventually just restarted the gdm..
[07:18] <Jordan_U> Atook, You only need to do two things to get your card to work, first open System -> Administration -> Software-Sources and enable community maintained software, then open System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and search for and install "bcm43xx-fwcutter"
[07:18] <delaney> if anyone is able to explain why suddnely i get these "declare -x" things when i login I would appreciate the help  http://img412.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitledjp7.jpg
[07:18] <LuisGMarine> Zelda come back and make sure that your problems are fixed, if they aren't then its nothing you did , its beryl
[07:18] <delaney> ^screnshot shows what i mean
[07:19] <Jordan_U> Atook, You only need to do two things to get your card to work, first open System -> Administration -> Software-Sources and enable community maintained software, then open System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and search for and install "bcm43xx-fwcutter"
[07:20] <Zelda> LuisGMarine: Ok. give me a moment
[07:20] <atrus> delaney: that's the sort of output that the 'export' command gives without any arguments. do you have "export" in a .bashrc, .bash_profile, .profile, or similar file somewhere?
[07:20] <Atook> Jordan: that's starting to make sense. where can I find this package, not that the ubuntu machine isn't on the net yet, I have to find the package on my windows box, then transfer it via USB drive.  I find all these dead links to packages.ubuntu.com. :(
[07:20] <delaney> atrus,  thats the thing that confuses me. i removed eerything in my home and in my ~root as well
[07:20] <delaney> it still continues to appear
[07:21] <c0re^> gonzoism, ok, when installing from the cd, the cd should have been added as an extra repository, make sure of it in the /etc/apt/sources.list . from there you can probably disable (comment out) other repositories, so it defaults to the cd
[07:21] <atrus> delaney: you could create a new user and see if it's effected. if it is, it might be in /etc/ somewhere. /etc/profile or similar
[07:21] <jeeves__> ok, in the never ending sauga, I'd love any help I can get to get the sound working on my laptop
[07:21] <Atook> Jordan: *Note* that the ubuntu machine isn't on the net, I'm looking for the bcm43xx package
[07:21] <c0re^> gonzoism, im not sure thats the best way to do it, but i think it might work.
[07:21] <gonzoism> c0re^  sounds good.  want me to let you know ?
[07:21] <Flannel> gonzoism: "sudo apt-cdrom add" will add the CD to your repositories
[07:21] <c0re^> gonzoism, actually im going to sleep very soon.
[07:22] <gonzoism> flannel i did that and it still ignores it
[07:22] <Flannel> gonzoism: which CD do you have?
[07:22] <divy1> Jordan_U: Thanks
[07:22] <divy1> Jordan_U: it worked finally
[07:22] <Akuma_> how can i recursively delete files matching a certain pattern?
[07:22] <Jordan_U> Atook, You can grab just the firmware from my site @ http://trogdoor.googlepages.com/firmware.zip and extract the files to /lib/firmware when you get connected to the internet though you should still install the package as it will keep your firmware up to date automatically
[07:22] <gonzoism> flannel i installed the server cd and was gonna stick ubuntu-desktop on top of it.  7.04  i have the ubuntu-desktop and server for x86
[07:22] <n2diy> jeeves__: Hello OM, haven't talked to you since Febuary! Sorry, can't help ya.
[07:22] <martyd215> using gnome you can also add it through the system->admin->software sources applet...
[07:23] <martyd215> the cd repos.
[07:23] <Zelda> hey Luis: do you know where to get other beryl themes? All I want to do Is change the default color to blue
[07:23] <Flannel> gonzoism: er, wait.  You have the server CD and the Desktop CD?
[07:23] <jeeves__> m2diy:  wow.  You ARE alive!!  and here I thought you dropped off the face of the planet
[07:23] <GTroy> I'm compiling <IP_ADDRESS> and I've configured the kernel, how do I get it to run via the command $make kpkg
[07:23] <GTroy> ?
[07:23] <gonzoism> flannel  yes
[07:23] <Flannel> gonzoism: The desktop CD doesn't have ubuntu-desktop on it.  You need the alternate CD to get (all but a few) packages on the CD.
[07:23] <gonzoism> flannel i have set the server cd aside.
[07:23] <orbin> jeeves__: have you had a look at ubotu's sound factoid?
[07:24] <gonzoism> flannel  ah
[07:24] <LuisGMarine> Zelda http://www.beryl-themes.org/
[07:24] <Flannel> gonzoism: also, you would need to disconnect/comment out the web repositories (with the alternate CD), because the versions on the net will be newer than those on the CD
[07:24] <GTroy> kernel comilers, please help!
[07:24] <Zelda> I fixed it too.
[07:24] <Flannel> gonzoism: it's easier to install the desktop CD, then install the server stuff
[07:24] <arooni> given a FTP address ... how can i download EVERYTHING within a given directory (recursively, and all at once) ?
[07:24] <SpeakerMania> Can I change the splash image?
[07:24] <gonzoism> flannel ok
[07:24] <jeeves__> orbin:  yes.  I'm thinking (from my reading is that) it's a BIOS problem
[07:24] <bulmer> try wget -r ftp://xxx.com
[07:24] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, Yes
[07:25] <jeeves__> orbin:  yes.
[07:25] <SpeakerMania> How?
[07:25] <LuisGMarine> Zelda, very weird, something is deff wrong.  You might have edited something bad, but changing your mouse section in xorg.conf " SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY AFFECT ON YOUR DE"
[07:25] <gonzoism> flannel how do i tell apt-get install to install the suggested too ?
[07:25] <GTroy> !kernel
[07:25] <jeeves__> Flannel:  you're alive as well!!
[07:25] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[07:25] <arooni> bulmer: i have a login & password... do u know command line args for that off top of your head?
[07:25] <LuisGMarine> Specially the way themes look
[07:25] <bulmer> arooni: nope
[07:25] <n2diy> arooni: read the man page for ftp, it is something to do with get and -R or -r.
[07:25] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, Do you want to change the grub menu splash image or the usplash splash screen?
[07:26] <SpeakerMania> Jordan_U: What? The image when Ubuntu loads whenth bar thing goes across.
[07:26] <Atook> Jordan: thanks, I'm giving it a go right now.
[07:26] <SpeakerMania> Jordan_U: I don't get a BRUB image anyways
[07:27] <SpeakerMania> GRUB*
[07:27] <Musicman> Hey, has anyone been installing ubuntu Feisty Fawn on an HP dv9000, im getting huge problems with it :/
[07:27] <Jordan_U> !usplash | SpeakerMania
[07:27] <ubotu> SpeakerMania: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[07:27] <arooni> how can i make the terminal font bigger?
[07:27] <SpeakerMania> Thanks
[07:27] <SpeakerMania> Wait... That a bot?
[07:27] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, np
[07:27] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, Yes :)
[07:27] <SpeakerMania> lol
[07:27] <gonzoism> ok
[07:27] <gonzoism> thanks
[07:27] <gonzoism> night
[07:27] <Frogzoo> arooni: ctrl shift +
[07:28] <Musicman> :/
[07:28] <orbin> Musicman: you're better off telling us the actual problems.  chances that someone has the same pc are small and that someone is active and sees your message, smaller.
[07:28] <n2diy> Frogzoo: will that work if X isn't running?
[07:29] <Frogzoo> n2diy: nope, for that, edit /etc/default/console-setup
[07:29] <n2diy> Frogzoo: Roger roger.
[07:29] <Musicman> Well, I have been attempting to boot from the live cd, and it either a) displays weird patterns when attempting to launch into a gui, its all black and white or b) hangs at "Starting Kernel Log..."
[07:29] <Musicman> anyone have something similar?
[07:30] <c0re^> Musicman, only when using my tv for a monitor.
[07:30] <Jordan_U> Musicman, Have you checked the CD integrity ?
[07:30] <Musicman> Well Its straight out of the one I was sent, but I suppose I could
[07:30] <DShepherd> \x6e\x65\x72\x64, ctrl+alt+backspace is a shortcut.. is there a command that you know of that does the same thing?
[07:30] <RAOF> DShepherd: killall X :)
[07:31] <c0re^> i think i have some sort of error with my network. its too coincidental that enemy territory cant find punkbuster, the master server list, and cant connect to steam for updates. but i get online fine and see my own network... weird..?
[07:31] <jeeves__> n2diy:  ok, sorry, I'm back
[07:31] <Jordan_U> Musicman, You might also want to try the alternate install CD
[07:31] <Frogzoo> c0re^: can you ping?
[07:31] <DShepherd> RAOF, is that a joke?
[07:31] <Zelda> Luis: Thanks I got it working again
[07:31] <Musicman> Jordan: What is 'alternate' about it? :P
[07:31] <n2diy> jeeves__: np
[07:31] <c0re^> frogzoo, i actually havent tried that yet, lets see.
[07:31] <jeeves__> n2diy:  want to switch over to #jeeves to chat?
[07:31] <RAOF> DShepherd: No, that's what ctrl+alt+backspace does.  Kills X and then GDM restarts it.
[07:31] <Jordan_U> Musicman, It uses a text based installer and since it does not have to be a LiveCD is much more robust
[07:32] <Musicman> AH
[07:32] <Musicman> that is what I need
[07:32] <Musicman> I can work with text
[07:32] <Musicman> :|
[07:32] <n2diy> jeeves__: it is late here, and I'm tired, but for a couple of minutes, sure.
[07:32] <DShepherd> RAOF, ok.. so killall X is the equiv then?
[07:32] <frederick85> how do you take a screenshot of your desktop
[07:32] <Musicman> I think I may have to update some drivers really, so having that would fix it
[07:32] <RAOF> DShepherd: Yes.  Of course, that's still going to log everyone else off.
[07:32] <Musicman> or atleast allow me to fix it
[07:32] <jeeves__> n2diy:  ok, it's open.
[07:32] <orbin> jeeves__: try pinging crimsun when he's active.  he's helped a few people with sound issues in here
[07:32] <Musicman> :)
[07:33] <c0re^> how do i quickly paste something into a terminal (similar to ctrl+V)
[07:33] <jeeves__> flannel:  you're invited as well
[07:33] <DShepherd> RAOF, oh... not what i want though... hmm...
[07:33] <orbin> frederick85: accessories menu
[07:33] <jeeves__> orbin:  ok, I will.  I'm thinking (since Toshiba is M$'s bitch), it's a case of "bend over and grab your ankles"
[07:33] <Frogzoo> frederick85: press PrtScr
[07:33] <DShepherd> RAOF, there has to be a way.... its linux! :-D
[07:33] <Jordan_U> Musicman, http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso
[07:33] <cbs> how do I change color bit-depths (16/32)
[07:33] <Musicman> OMG
[07:33] <Musicman> wait
[07:33] <c0re^> Frogzoo, well, i can ping but i dont know the master server ip, or the ips of the other servers
[07:33] <Musicman> I have been trying to install a 32bit install
[07:34] <Musicman> on a 64bit machine
[07:34] <Musicman> D:
[07:34] <Frogzoo> c0re^: ctrl shift v
[07:34] <Musicman> !!
[07:34] <cbs> music: use linux32
[07:34] <Madpilot> Musicman, a 32bit install will work on 64bit architecture...
[07:34] <Musicman> oh
[07:34] <cbs> music term: linux32 sh instller.run
[07:34] <Musicman> :/
[07:34] <Jordan_U> Musicman, You can do that, in fact if you aren't doing any complex math calculations you should :)
[07:34] <RAOF> Musicman: Actually, that should work.  Since your 64bit machine can also run 32bit code just fine.
[07:34] <c0re^> Frogzoo, thanks, but what about the network thing? i can ping, and the master servers are up, because they work fine on my windows box.
[07:35] <Musicman> well I will download that .iso and see if that helps
[07:35] <Musicman> thanks
[07:35] <Jordan_U> Musicman, np
[07:36] <c0re^> Frogzoo, did you get my last message?
[07:36] <cbs> whats the command to set color to 32- or 16-bit?
[07:36] <GomoX> Hey
[07:36] <DanaG> Odd, when I resume from suspend, vesafb goes all blocky.
[07:36] <Frogzoo> c0re^: ask you questions to the chan
[07:36] <Atook> how can I log in as root temporarily to copy files to /lib/firmware?
[07:36] <GomoX> What is the canonical way of making my KDE apps look like the rest of the gnome desktop?
[07:37] <DanaG> And my I/O seems especially slow, at least under Gnome.
[07:37] <c0re^> i can ping, and the master servers are up, because they work fine on my windows box.
[07:37] <GomoX> I have changed the font sizes in the desktop and they don't look alike anymore
[07:37] <Jordan_U> Atook, Just use sudo, sudo nautilus for instance or sudo cp /whatever /wherever/it/goes
[07:38] <DanaG> gksudo is better for gui apps.
[07:38] <cbs> doe anyone know how to change the resolutin bit-depth level?!?!
[07:38] <Jordan_U> DanaG, I have never heard a good explanation of why that is, do you know?
[07:38] <DanaG> I don't actually know myself.
[07:39] <Jordan_U> cbs, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:39] <quarkpup> c0re^: have you tried ctrl+shift+V ?
[07:39] <DanaG> But there's something about it setting the environment up better.
[07:39] <cbs> yikes do I have to go thru the whole xorg config process?
[07:39] <c0re^> quarkpup, for my network problems??!
[07:39] <orbin> cbs: you could just change the DefaultDepth entry in xorg.conf then restart X
[07:39] <Jordan_U> cbs, No, you can also edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf directly
[07:40] <Captain_Haddock> Anybody fancy helping me sort out my samba authentication problems?
[07:40] <RAOF> cbs: Or, you could go System->Preferences->Display
[07:40] <varka> !anyone | Cap
[07:40] <ubotu> Cap: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:40] <cbs> I dont have system>preferences>display...
[07:40] <Jordan_U> orbin, Because 24 bits == 32 bits minus 8 bits of alpha channel :)
[07:41] <RAOF> orbin: Because that's 8bits R, G, B.  32bit colour is actually RGB with 8 wasted bits :)
[07:41] <exs>  Usually to edit my contact list (in gaim) i'd go to 'documents./gaim', but I use pidgin now and pidgin isn't in 'documents/.pidgin'. Does anyone know where it is?
[07:41] <cbs>  RAOF: what package has the display controls?
[07:42] <orbin> Jordan_U, RAOF: cheers.  ... why does windows specify 32bit then?
[07:42] <Captain_Haddock> varka: :P I can list shares fine, But when I try to browse them, I get a "connection to *hieroglphics* failed".
[07:42] <RAOF> cbs: No idea.  It's probably the gnome-capplets packagte though, or something.
[07:42] <homanj> exs: you could try support in #pidgin
[07:42] <Captain_Haddock> varka: This is from the command line with smbclient.
[07:42] <Jordan_U> orbin, Because windows is stupid :)
[07:43] <Captain_Haddock> varka: I can't access it from my Windows box either.
[07:43] <homanj> eXistenz: ah, nvm. i see you are already there.
[07:43] <RAOF> orbin: Because 24bpp is generally supported internally as 32bpp (because it's then 4 bytes rather than 3, which is nicer)
[07:43] <exs> homanj:  yeah got the answer now, thanks
[07:43] <cbs> lol, i finally get that and now it seems silly
[07:43] <orbin> Jordan_U, RAOF: cheers again :)
[07:43] <anethema> hey i enabled the nvidia driver, and installed a couple updates
[07:43] <anethema> and now my mouse doesnt work
[07:44] <anethema> keyboard is fine, they are both USB
[07:44] <Captain_Haddock> Anybody? This is really driving me up the wall :(
[07:44] <anethema> anyone have this problem?
[07:44] <cein> what kind of mouse?
[07:45] <bimberi> Captain_Haddock: have you set up the Samba client password "sudo smbpasswd -a <username>" ?
[07:45] <anethema> its a logitech g7
[07:45] <anethema> was working fine when i installed (like 10 mins ago)
[07:45] <Captain_Haddock> bimberi: yes and also tried to enable the user using the -e switch
[07:45] <bimberi> hm
[07:45] <puzzle> bye guys :D
[07:46] <anethema> but i clicked desktop effects, its said it needed nvidia driver
[07:46] <DanaG> Odd, I plug in my soundcard and Pulseaudio dies.
[07:46] <anethema> and i enabled it, fine
[07:46] <Captain_Haddock> bimberi: would you like to peruse my smb.conf file?
[07:46] <Atook> Ayuh, still messing w/ permissions. Can I copy files to lib/firmware using a GUI only? Can't find a way to log on as root just to copy the files.
[07:46] <anethema> did a ctrl-alt-backspace to re-do X, and mouse still worked
[07:46] <anethema> so dont actually think its nvidia
[07:46] <anethema> but a bunch of other updates happened to
[07:46] <anethema> too
[07:46] <anethema> and it said it needed a full reboot
[07:46] <anethema> so i did that
[07:46] <anethema> now no mouse
[07:46] <bimberi> Captain_Haddock: put it on the pastebin.  I'm no expert on them though.  You could try #samba too
[07:46] <DanaG> Oh wait, it just got stuck for 30 seconds.
[07:46] <anethema> cursor is there, but no mouse movement
[07:47] <Jordan_U>  Atook press alt+F2 ( for a run dialog ) and run "gksudo nautilus"
[07:47] <anethema> anyone have any ideas for me to try ?
[07:47] <bimberi> Captain_Haddock: I like that nick btw.  I read TinTin to my kids :)
[07:47] <Captain_Haddock> bimberi: ah I wasn't aware of #samba :o Thanks!
[07:47] <Captain_Haddock> bimberi: hehe, aye :)
[07:48] <bimberi> Captain_Haddock: np :)
[07:48] <anethema> in xorg.conf the driver is 'mouse' and the protocol is ImPS/2
[07:48] <Captain_Haddock> bimberi: Peter jackson and Steven Spielberg are apparently teaming up to make a TinTin movie btw :)
[07:48] <anethema> is that right? i cant even browse to check
[07:48] <Frogzoo> Captain_Haddock: somewhat OT imo
[07:48] <bimberi> Captain_Haddock: Thundering Typhoons!  Really!  ;P
[07:48] <Captain_Haddock> Frogzoo: yes, I shut up now :)
[07:49] <bimberi> yes, /me will stop the OT now
[07:49] <anethema> anyone? im stuck here :(
[07:49] <cbs> heh you know, when i used to be on windows, facing almost any problem, I felt helpless....on linux, I have to confidence to know if somehting doesn't work, I can always rewrite it :P
[07:49] <Frogzoo> anethema: mouse not working? what type is it?
[07:49] <cbs> hence, the atmosphere in here is very relaxed
[07:50] <anethema> Frogzoo: it is a logitech g7
[07:50] <anethema> was working just fine when i installed
[07:50] <anethema> some updates ran and said they needed a reboot
[07:50] <anethema> a full reboot
[07:50] <anethema> after i did that, no mouse movement
[07:51] <anethema> any idea?
[07:51] <Frogzoo> anethema: noone's going to help you if you just ignore questions
[07:51] <anethema> what question did i ignore
[07:51] <HiddenHax> anyone know a good scanning program?
[07:51] <HiddenHax> for a scanner
[07:51] <anethema> you asked what kind of mouse, i said logitech g7
[07:51] <Frogzoo> HiddenHax: apt-cache search sane
[07:52] <Jordan_U> Frogzoo, I havn't seen him ignore any questions ?
[07:52] <HiddenHax> thanks
[07:52] <Frogzoo> anethema: kk, soz
[07:53] <bimberi> HiddenHax: Ubuntu installs xsane by default.  Applications -> Graphics -> XSane Image Scanner
[07:53] <Frogzoo> anethema: what's the mouse device in xorg.conf ?
[07:53] <anethema> the driver?
[07:53] <anethema> is 'mouse'
[07:53] <anethema> oh
[07:53] <anethema> device
[07:53] <anethema> /dev/input/mice
[07:53] <anethema> its a usb mouse
[07:53] <NrbelexUbuntu> What's the best program to map buttons like fast forward & play on a laptop?
[07:53] <Frogzoo> anethema: there'll be a line like Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/mice"
[07:53] <anethema> yeah thats what it is
[07:54] <Frogzoo> anethema: 'sudo cat /dev/input/mice' & wiggle the mouse - do you get output ?
[07:54] <Toma-> NrbelexUbuntu: system>prefs>keyboardshortcuts ?
[07:54] <anethema> no nothing
[07:55] <anethema> i tryed xev but couldnt get the xev window under the cursor, dont know how to move it without the mouse
[07:55] <anethema> haha
[07:56] <taime1> !fonts
[07:56] <NrbelexUbuntu> Toma-, that didn't have any effect on Amarok
[07:56] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[07:56] <anethema> no ideas Frogzoo ? :)
[07:56] <cbs> Im on AMD64, does that make a difference when trying to find what applet ubuntu came with to change color bit-depth?
[07:57] <anethema> how does /dev/input/mice know which usb location to look for ?
[07:57] <RAOF> cbs: No.
[07:57] <cbs> im wary of editing xorg...
[07:57] <crimsun> anethema: it doesn't care. It's an input muxer.
[07:57] <anethema> hah fsck i fixed it, i inplugged it from that usb port and used another
[07:58] <Atook> Jordan: thanks for the help so far. I got the package in the lib/firmware/2.6.20-15-generic folder, but now when I run sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter, it cant find package bcm43xx-fwcutter
[07:58] <anethema> no idea why, but ok
[07:58] <anethema> heh
[07:58] <Frogzoo> anethema: looks like I've found a post with a fix, just a moment
[07:58] <anethema> Frogzoo: it works now, i just inplugged the mouse and moved it to another port
[07:58] <Jordan_U> cbs, Then use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg     if you hit return for everything but color depth then that is all that it will change
[07:58] <cbs> RAOF: Could I change default depth, then alt+f2, then back to alt+f7.....as in will this reload x to the desired bit-depth without restart
[07:58] <RAOF> cbs: Oh, sorry System->Preferences->Screen Resolution doesn't do bitdepth.  What do you want to change it to though?  It *really* is as easy as changing the DefaultDepth in xorg.conf
[07:59] <cbs> oh
[07:59] <RAOF> cbs: No, all xorg.conf changes require a restart becaus X is crap.
[07:59] <cbs> im trying to lower it to 16 for compat issues with a wine app
[07:59] <Jordan_U> cbs, No, you need to actually restart X for the bit depth to change :(
[07:59] <cbs> how do I do that....reboot?
[07:59] <cbs> no other way?
[07:59] <Frogzoo> anethema: heh
[07:59] <Jordan_U> cbs, No, press ctrl+alt+backspace
[07:59] <cbs> then?
[08:00] <cbs> it just resets it?
[08:00] <Jordan_U> cbs, That will restart X, you will be at a login screen
[08:00] <anethema> thanks for your help Frogzoo
[08:00] <cbs> k
[08:00] <roberto> heyt
[08:00] <AirHead30> I need to know how to set my resolution to 1280x800 through Preferences > Screen Resoltion. I know this is a common question but all the forums offer is to change xorg.conf, which already has everything set to 1280x800. I'm using Ubuntu 7.04...
[08:00] <cbs> let me try it on :)
[08:00] <Jordan_U> cbs, But I would think that wine would be able to lie to applications that needed a lower bit depth
[08:00] <roberto> hay alguien que hable espaol?
[08:01] <Madpilot> !es | roberto
[08:01] <ubotu> roberto: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[08:01] <Flannel> !es | roberto
[08:01] <roberto> sale gracias
[08:01] <Frogzoo> anethema: yw, glad you got it working
[08:01] <cbs> well, I would too, but im not sure how to do it
[08:01] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, What kind of card ( ATI , Nvidia, intel )?
[08:01] <AirHead30> GMA950.
[08:01] <anethema> yeah, really simple..hope i dont have to do it every bootup :)
[08:01] <orbisvicis> how do i start up a nfs client in ubuntu ?
[08:01] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, Install 915resolution
[08:02] <Frogzoo> AirHead30: sys -> prefs -> resolution doesn't work for you?
[08:02] <Madpilot> Flannel, nice to know I'm not lagged - having some sort of 'net connection issue...
[08:02] <AirHead30> Frogzoo: The highest it displays is 1024x768
[08:02] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, You don't need to edit your xorg.conf at all, just install 915resolution and restart X
[08:03] <AirHead30> Okay, thanks.
[08:03] <Frogzoo> anethema: you can try this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21793/
[08:05] <taime1> after i copied a font into /usr/share/fonts, the font appears only as a hidden file, and when i go to right click it, it disappears, what gives?
[08:06] <AirHead30> Alright, 915resolution is installed. Now just restart X. With Ctrl+Alt+F12?
[08:06] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, No, with ctrl+alt+backspace
[08:06] <AirHead30> Mmkay, thanks for the help.
[08:06] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, np
[08:07] <orbisvicis> also how to get an nfs server ... the network package in synaptics has me uninstall too many packages
[08:07] <NrbelexUbuntu> Hi, I'm running Gnome and I'm trying to get the play, next, etc. buttons on my laptop to work with Amarok. Using prefs-> keyboard shortcuts and Amarok's "Configure Global Shortcuts" did not work... any thoughts?
[08:08] <taime1> why cant openoffice see my new font? i refreshed the font cache and even restarted x
[08:08] <taime1> it worked fine on the box sitting right next to it using the same method
[08:09] <RAOF> NrbelexUbuntu: That's a problem with Amarok (if you're running Feisty, aka Ubuntu 7.04).  They haven't updated Amarok for the new Gnome MMkeys API
[08:09] <aaaaa> aa
[08:09] <NrbelexUbuntu> RAOF, I see, thanks - so should that be fixed with their next update?
[08:10] <Atook> Jordan: thanks for the help so far. I got the package in the lib/firmware/2.6.20-15-generic folder, but now when I run sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter, it cant find package bcm43xx-fwcutter
[08:10] <Miso> Are there any programs such as izimi for windows that will allow me to serve files from my computer using ubuntu
[08:10] <Madpilot> Miso, which protocol does 'izimi' use?
[08:10] <NrbelexUbuntu> Atook, refresh your repositories
[08:11] <Atook> nrbelex: How?
[08:12] <Miso> madpilot: what's a protocol?
[08:12] <zoidberg> hey guys is there a good linux N64 emulator?
[08:12] <NrbelexUbuntu> Atook, sudo apt-get update I think
[08:12] <Madpilot> Miso, does izimi use ftp, bittorrent, emule, or what? How does it share it's files?
[08:12] <Jordan_U> Atook, You need to allow community maintained software ( universe ) with System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[08:13] <Jordan_U> zoidberg, Yes, mupen
[08:13] <Frogzoo> zoidberg: apt-cache search n64
[08:13] <Atook> Jordan: it's checked, but I have no net access on the ubuntu machine yet.
[08:13] <RAOF> NrbelexUbuntu: Quite possibly not.  Amarok is a KDE app, and they don't particularly care for the Gnome integration.  However, KDE is getting DBUSified, and this should make fixing Amarok easier in the future.
[08:13] <Cronus> I'm a frist time user and I was trying to install Ubuntu and I got it to boot but when I clicked the buttons to start the install I got an error that said kernal error. Can anyone help?
[08:13] <Miso> madpilot: it serves them directly from your computer, with a clickable link - it uses your bandwidth, like setting up a web server with apache, which i don't know how to do
[08:14] <DanaG> Any idea if there will ever be a Gnome app like Amarok?  "Exaile" doesn't do it for me -- no folder-based organization.
[08:14] <NrbelexUbuntu> RAOF, thanks
[08:14] <Madpilot> Miso, ah, OK. Setting up an apache server is relatively simple in Ubuntu - running one (securely) is another matter - but that's one idea
[08:14] <Jordan_U> Atook, Ahh, did you put the firmware in /lib/firmware ( you may need to reload the wireless driver for it to recognize it or just reboot )
[08:14] <Atook> Jordan: I don't see any files name bcm43xx-fwcutter in the zip you gave me, is that the problem?
[08:14] <Atook> Jordan: I'll try a reboot, thanks.
[08:15] <Miso> madpilot: any other ideas on how i can serve files that way with ubuntu?
[08:15] <Jordan_U> Atook, No, bcm43xx-fwcutter just grabs the latest firmware and puts it in /lib/firmware  you are just doing it manually
[08:15] <orbin> DanaG: why not just run amarok?
[08:15] <tarelerulz> Do any of you know of an yahoo Linux client that does web cam and voice
[08:15] <AirHead30> Jordan_U: I installed 915resolution and I'm still stuck at 124x768...
[08:15] <AirHead30> *1240
[08:15] <DanaG> I do, for now; but the lack of integration of QT with GTK bugs me.
[08:16] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, Strange, it's an intel card correct?
[08:16] <DanaG> There's also the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver.
[08:17] <Miso> AirHead30: have you tried  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and selecting the resolution you want?
[08:17] <Madpilot> Miso, most secure thing to do would be to get webspace somewhere - that keeps people off your home computer
[08:17] <Miso> madpilot: ok, thank you
[08:17] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, Maybe it is using the wrong driver, try running: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" and choose 810 ( I think ) when it asks what driver to use
[08:17] <AirHead30> Miso: That's not the problem. xorg.conf actually has 1280x800 as the only resolution under 'Modes' in all subsections.
[08:18] <AirHead30> How do I use 915resolution?
[08:18] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, You don't, it should "just work"
[08:19] <taime1> i am unable to delete a file... nautilus says it doesnt exist
[08:20] <AirHead30> Well then that becomes a problem >.>. I'm completely sure it's a GMA950, an Intel card. It's mobile, if that matters...
[08:20] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, Did you try setting the driver to i810 with : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[08:20] <DanaG> Shouldn't it be "Intel" rather than "i810"?
[08:20] <AirHead30> No, I will though.
[08:20] <Atook> Jordan: Reboot FTW! Thanks for all your help!
[08:21] <Jordan_U> Atook, np :)
[08:21] <GeorgeAScott> can i downgrade without reinstalling?
[08:21] <Jordan_U> DanaG, i810 is the chipset for intel cards, I don't think there is an "intel" option
[08:21] <GeorgeAScott> say, i change the repositories and such ?
[08:21] <AirHead30> I did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh, I'll retart X and see what happens...
[08:21] <DanaG> There's xserver-xorg-video-intel
[08:21] <AirHead30> *restart
[08:22] <Jordan_U> !downgrade | GeorgeAScott
[08:22] <ubotu> GeorgeAScott: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[08:22] <GeorgeAScott> break it more you mean
[08:22] <Jordan_U> GeorgeAScott, You could put your /home on another partition and re-install
[08:23] <Jordan_U> GeorgeAScott, What is broken?
[08:23] <GeorgeAScott> i don't have a cd burner, and my old badger cd is scratched to bad to install properly
[08:23] <AirHead30> That did the trick, it added the 1280x800 resolution to the list. :)
[08:24] <GeorgeAScott> i've got a list... but for starters, sound doesn't work unless i trick it, nobody's helped other than pointing me to howto and faqs that i've read and re-read a dozen times..
[08:24] <AirHead30> Thanks again, Jordan_U.
[08:25] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, np
[08:25] <orbin> GeorgeAScott: what release are you running?
[08:25] <GeorgeAScott> my netwrok connection likes to quit working on its own terms... mouse cursors in certain windows (ie. mozilla and OOorg don't appear
[08:25] <GeorgeAScott> fiesty
[08:25] <defrysk> GeorgeAScott, buy a cd burner
[08:25] <Silver> yoo
[08:25] <Steil> yyo
[08:25] <GeorgeAScott> why don't you buy me one
[08:25] <Steil> silver
[08:25] <Steil> come casino bitch
[08:26] <Jordan_U> GeorgeAScott, You can also install from a USB stick if you have one
[08:26] <Steil> hows it going? :)
[08:26] <Steil> er wait
[08:26] <Steil> wrong silver
[08:26] <Steil> sorry
[08:26] <Steil> wrong channel
[08:26] <defrysk> Jordan_U, then you will have to buy him one
[08:26] <GeorgeAScott> if i'm not mistaken, this laptop is too old to boot from usb.  i've checked the bios for that option already
[08:26] <ZippoFluid> Order a cd?
[08:27] <Jordan_U> GeorgeAScott, Floppy? :)
[08:27] <GeorgeAScott> order a cd and i'll get fawn no doubt...
[08:27] <orbin> GeorgeAScott: how'd you install feisty in the first place?
[08:27] <GeorgeAScott> burnt the cd at the nabes place..
[08:27] <GeorgeAScott> would rather just fix it, than do any more burning..
[08:28] <gortba> Hi. Can someone tell me the command to create a compressed copy of my /home directory?
[08:28] <GeorgeAScott> how many floppies would it take to do a network install?
[08:28] <GeorgeAScott> to a previous release that is..
[08:28] <skarevoluti> hi
[08:29] <gortba> anyone?
[08:29] <ZippoFluid> This channel is rather slow tonight...guess it's sunday night
[08:29] <GigaClon> GeorgeAScott, 1000 prolly
[08:29] <Jordan_U> GeorgeAScott, 3 it looks like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies
[08:29] <ZippoFluid> gortba: I might know, one sec...let me check
[08:30] <gortba> ZippoFluid: Thanks
[08:30] <ZippoFluid> gortba: sudo tar -cf archive.tar contents/
[08:31] <GeorgeAScott> thanks Jordan_U
[08:31] <Jordan_U> GeorgeAScott, np
[08:31] <taime1> i installed a font and refreshed the font cache, and even after rebooting, openoffice cannot see that font, can someone tell me why?
[08:31] <skarevoluti> >:O
[08:31] <gortba> Zippofluid: Is contents/ where I want the tar to be created?
[08:32] <ZippoFluid> gortba: contents/ is the path of the files you want to archive
[08:32] <v3n0m`> hey does anyone run mIRC through emulation?
[08:32] <gortba> Oh ok. So whatever directory I'm in at the time is where the tar will be created right?
[08:32] <ZippoFluid> gortba: archive should be created in whatever dir you were in when you did it....although you should be able to specify
[08:32] <orbin> gortba: that won't be a compressed archive ...
[08:33] <ZippoFluid> gortba: My bad on that, after that use compress
[08:33] <gortba> Oh. ok so how do I compress it after that?
[08:33] <ZippoFluid> gortba: compress
[08:33] <RAOF> ZippoFluid, gortba: Or just go "tar czf archive.tar.gz contents/"
[08:34] <RAOF> gortba: Or "tar cjf archive.tar.bz2 contents/" for bzip2 compression (slower, better)
[08:34] <linxeh> ZippoFluid: compress should be considered deprecated
[08:34] <orbin> gortba: oh, and i'd delete your firefox cache beforehand
[08:34] <orbin> if you want to save space that is
[08:35] <putaro> anybody know of undelete/recovery tools for xfs?
[08:35] <ZippoFluid> linxeh: My mistake...I was trying to help and clearly not knowing as much as I needed to.
[08:36] <linxeh> ZippoFluid: I didn't mean it like that ;-)  there are better compression routines - most people use gzip or bzip2 because they have better compression (especially the latter). 7zip is also getting popular as it is better again (at the expense of speed)
[08:36] <tarelerulz> Do any of you know of yahoo Linux that can do voice or web cams on the yahoo network?
[08:37] <linxeh> tarelerulz: Kopete might be able to
[08:37] <ZippoFluid> linxeh: is bzip2 part of the installed packages, or is that something I'd need to apt-get?
[08:37] <gortba> Thanks everyone!
[08:37] <linxeh> ZippoFluid: I think it is standard these days on most distributions
[08:37] <gortba> have a good night.
[08:38] <linxeh> ZippoFluid: 7zip is in the p7zip package though
[08:38] <linux_probe> type bzip2 --help see if it's installed
[08:38] <ZippoFluid> linxeh: Interesting...Sometimes I just idle in the channel and "listen"...Learn about all these sorts of things...
[08:39] <v3n0m`> anyone emulate mIRC in Ubuntu?
[08:39] <linxeh> v3n0m`: I did once - but it felt wrong
[08:39] <v3n0m`> or what is the most full-featured linux IRC client ?
[08:39] <v3n0m`> haha
[08:39] <v3n0m`> i feel wrong right now trying to use IRC in pidgin
[08:39] <linxeh> v3n0m`: I use kvirc3 now which is comparable to mirc in feel / features
[08:39] <v3n0m`> ok
[08:40] <v3n0m`> ill try that thanks
[08:40] <v3n0m`> are there other cool sites like getdeb.net?
[08:40] <linxeh> other than that there is xchat
[08:40] <ZippoFluid> linxeh: Is Kvirc3 much better than Xchat?
[08:40] <v3n0m`> i've used xchat on windows and it's ok, but is worse than mIRC imo
[08:41] <v3n0m`> probably won't help u ;P
[08:41] <linxeh> v3n0m`: I didnt like the single chat window; but generally xchat is better than mirc (less security bugs, and better scripting support)
[08:42] <v3n0m`> mIRC scripts take care of that =P
[08:42] <linxeh> v3n0m`: not the security bugs
[08:42] <linxeh> ZippoFluid: I think so, but that's partly because I dislike the xchat interface. I havent done any scripting in it though
[08:42] <v3n0m`> i believe there are security scripts..?
[08:42] <v3n0m`> i'm amazed xchat could have better scripting than mIRC
[08:42] <blackjackel_> IS there a gui way of killing processes? Similar to control alt delete on XP windows?
[08:42] <linxeh> v3n0m`: you cannot fix security holes in the core engine with a mirc script
[08:43] <deCon> how do i run an ISO without burning it?
[08:43] <v3n0m`> ya but many are avoided through work-arounds I think.. but I agree it's a weak solution
[08:43] <Captain_Haddock> v3n0m`: mirc works fine under wine
[08:43] <bimberi> blackjackel_: system -> admin -> System Monitor  (Processes tab)
[08:43] <v3n0m`> thanks i'll try it if I can't handle kvirc
[08:43] <orbisvicis> mount it as a loopback device
[08:44] <putaro> blackjackel_: xkill
[08:44] <blackjackel_> bimberi, thank you, is there a handy hotkey for that?
[08:44] <RAOF> There's always irssi :).  Command line, super-scriptable.
[08:44] <v3n0m`> ewww commandline =P
[08:44] <orbisvicis> with the correct type
[08:44] <blackjackel_> hmm, firefox.bin is uninterruptable and I cant kill it
[08:45] <v3n0m`> is cdemu a good solution for mounting img/cue files?
[08:45] <putaro> blackjackel_:open a terminal. type xkill
[08:46] <v3n0m`> are there other websites similar to getdeb.net?
[08:46] <ZippoFluid> putaro: doesn't xkill restart the whole xserver?
[08:46] <Captain_Haddock> it lets you select the window you want to kill using the mouse
[08:46] <putaro> no, xkill gives you a skull and crossbones to kill a window inside of x.  see man xkill
[08:46] <blackjackel> putaro, its asking me which process I want to kill, and implying that if I click on something it will die... but I cannot SEE the firefox process, I can only see it in terminal
[08:47] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: in the terminal, type ps -A | grep firefox
[08:47] <rtan> hello
[08:47] <rtan> anybody use antivirus for ubuntu?
[08:47] <Captain_Haddock> then sudo kill -9 process_id_of_firefox
[08:47] <v3n0m`> I don't rtan
[08:47] <ZippoFluid> Captain_Haddock: What does that command do? for future reference. . .
[08:48] <Captain_Haddock> ZippoFluid: the kill ?
[08:48] <ZippoFluid> Captain_Haddock: The second one....ps -A | grep firefox
[08:48] <Captain_Haddock> ps <--- lists all processes
[08:48] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, ps -A | grep firefox
[08:48] <blackjackel>  6374 ?        00:04:32 firefox-bin
[08:49] <Captain_Haddock> The | <-- known as a pipe will allow you to use the output from the ps in another command
[08:49] <Captain_Haddock> grep firefox will search for the word "firefox" in the output of ps
[08:49] <v3n0m`> wow 100MB d/l for kvirc =O
[08:49] <v3n0m`> anyone use CDemu?
[08:49] <putaro> blackjackel:sudo kill -9 6374
[08:49] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: yep and now type sudo kill -9 6374
[08:50] <blackjackel> what's the -9 for?
[08:50] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, putaro: It's still there!
[08:51] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: that a kill signal
[08:51] <putaro> blackjackel: the 9 should kill all processes that can be killed
[08:51] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: use the ps command and see if it is still there
[08:51] <blackjackel> putaro, Captain_Haddock: I did it, and the process is still there
[08:51] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, yep, still there
[08:51] <ZippoFluid> Captain_Haddock: So the pipe is essentially telling the console "For the next command look for the results of the ps" I refer to?
[08:52] <orbisvicis> yay nfs
[08:52] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: try again :P
[08:52] <zoidberg> guys i cant play an .mpg file for some reason
[08:52] <zoidberg> do i need to download a special codec
[08:52] <zoidberg> i thought i had all codecs downloaded
[08:53] <Captain_Haddock> ZippoFluid: yep, | is like use output; > is for redirecting output and < is for redirecting input and so on.
[08:53] <v3n0m`> zoidberg: what program are you using as a player?
[08:53] <Captain_Haddock> zoidberg: use VLC
[08:53] <zoidberg> i tried eveyrhting
[08:53] <zoidberg> VLC wont work either
[08:53] <zoidberg> something like cant recognize stream
[08:53] <v3n0m`> probably not a codec issue then
[08:53] <zoidberg> then?
[08:53] <v3n0m`> a problem with the file itself
[08:53] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, before, it asked me my password... now it's not doing that anymore and the process is still there...
[08:54] <Nix> Anyone ever get a problem with firefox crashing when there is an embedded video on the page?
[08:54] <Jordan_U> Nix, Yes, flash is unstable
[08:54] <zoidberg> v3n0m`, actually i'm not sure now...when i try to open it with vlc it just doesnt open anything?
[08:54] <AaronCN> I start Azureus, the just close immediately by saying an unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment.
[08:54] <ZippoFluid> Captain_Haddock: I am sorry if this is, repetative, let me know if I am driving you crazy...So, the pipe is not going to actually include the output in the next command, merely that, it will recognize in this case, 6374 is the process that was found?
[08:54] <v3n0m`> zoidberg: what error does vlc output?
[08:54] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: hmm. try typing "top" and see if you can see Firefox there.
[08:55] <zoidberg> v3n0m`, i dunno how can i check?
[08:55] <v3n0m`> zoidberg: lemme see..
[08:55] <krinns> hi all
[08:55] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, can't see it. course the window isn't big enough to see everything though...
[08:55] <krinns> is there any way how can have logs for last week traffic on my NIC
[08:55] <v3n0m`> zoidberg: does it just immediately stop and doesn't say anything?
[08:56] <Captain_Haddock> ZippoFluid: You can actually take the meaning of the word "pipe" literally here: Instead of piping the output of ps to the screen, pipe it to the grep command.
[08:56] <AaronCN> I'm using sun java 1.6.0. Is Azureus not compatible with this version of Java?
[08:56] <Captain_Haddock> AaronCN: No, the package is screwed.
[08:56] <ZippoFluid> Captain_Haddock: Ohhhhhhhh....Got it...So, ps -A search all apps. and then take all apps and run it against this var "firefox" to see what comes back...got it.
[08:56] <zoidberg> v3n0m`, yes
[08:57] <Captain_Haddock> AaronCN: get the jar file directly from sourceforge and replace it locally
[08:57] <Captain_Haddock> ZippoFluid: It will make more sense if you run the ps command separately
[08:57] <Captain_Haddock> 9to understand)
[08:58] <Captain_Haddock> AaronCN: wget http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/azureus/Azureus<IP_ADDRESS>.jar
[08:58] <Captain_Haddock> AaronCN: use that to download the file
[08:58] <Captain_Haddock> and then: type sudo mv Azureus<IP_ADDRESS>.jar /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar
[08:58] <r4nge> what's the standard cd/dvd authoring tool for gnome?
[08:58] <Captain_Haddock> to replace the old file with the new one
[08:58] <kraut> moin
[08:58] <AaronCN> Captain_Haddock: OK. Thanks a lot. :)
[08:59] <r4nge> i actually just want to burn a distro iso
[08:59] <zoidberg> v3n0m`, u there?
[09:00] <bimberi> r4nge: right-click on the iso file and select 'write to CD'
[09:00] <r4nge> bimberi, same for dvds?
[09:00] <bimberi> r4nge: yep
[09:01] <r4nge> tx
[09:01] <bimberi> yw :)
[09:01] <Alan_> Arrrg!!!    I've been messing with this all day and can't figure it out.    When I load my wireless kernel module, no device is created (i.e. wlan0)
[09:01] <putaro> Alan_: what kernel?
[09:02] <ZippoFluid> Captain_Haddock: Thanks. Got it now...I am learning in hopes that one day I'll be able to solve at least some of my problems without bothering this channel
[09:02] <Captain_Haddock> ZippoFluid: no problem :)
[09:02] <bimberi> Alan_: perhaps it's eth1 (or the like)?
[09:02] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, out of ideas?
[09:03] <GreySim> Hey, I have Ubuntu (Feisty) PXE booting using the method listed on this website, and for some reason I'm unable to adjust my date and time on the Gnome panel. It asks for authentication, but never actually opens the window for making the adjustments. Anyone know how to track down what the problem might be?
[09:03] <GreySim> Oh, right, website: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjb/fatclient.html
[09:03] <tarelerulz> Can kopete go into yahoo chat rooms?
[09:03] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: I suppose so. It is very odd that a kill -9 doesn't work.
[09:03] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, ill restart, maybe that would work
[09:04] <Alan_> putaro:  2.6.15.-28    it's a 6.06.1 image
[09:04] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: That definitely wil.. You can also try CTRL + ALT + Backspace
[09:04] <slonong> ello
[09:04] <Captain_Haddock> to restart X
[09:04] <Alan_> bimberi:  Na, I only get eth0 and loopback in my /etc/network/interfaces
[09:04] <Gaul> poi
[09:04] <putaro> Alan_: PCMCIA?
[09:04] <Alan_> bimberi: eth0 is definatly my wired
[09:04] <bimberi> Alan_: how about in the output of 'ifconfig'
[09:05] <bimberi> ?
[09:05] <Alan_> putaro: no, usb  - it's the zd1211 module
[09:05] <Alan_> bimberi:  ifconfig and iwconfig show the same
[09:06] <bimberi> Alan_: hmmk :/
[09:06] <GreySim> Alternately, does anyone know if there's a command that launches the time settings window? Or is it part of the panel process, and unable to be explicitly launched?
[09:06] <Alan_> I modprobe -v zd1211 and it loads - lsmod shows it
[09:06] <asicard> How can I change the mounting point /media/disk for my memory stick?
[09:06] <Alan_> but that's as far as it gets
[09:07] <GreySim> asicard: Someone else can probably give you a better answer than I can, but one way to do it is to look into UUID's and fstab.
[09:07] <RAOF> GreySim: The command you're after is "gksudo time-admin"
[09:07] <Alan_> lsmod shows it and it being added to usbcore
[09:08] <bimberi> GreySim: 'gksudo time-admin'
[09:08] <GreySim> Thank you both.
[09:08] <bimberi> hehe, RAOF thrashed me on that one :)
[09:09] <GreySim> Ah, if anyone's curious, the problem was this (I hope a < 3 line paste is okay, sorry if not):
[09:09] <GreySim> (time-admin:21362): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: No such file or directory
[09:09] <GreySim> Could not create per-user gnome configuration directory `/root/.gnome2/': No such file or directory
[09:09] <ZippoFluid> How do I kill a command in terminal, like man for example?
[09:10] <GreySim> Which I know what to do about. That was just in case anyone was curious. :
[09:10] <GreySim> :)
[09:10] <putaro> ZippoFluid: just type the letter Q
[09:12] <bimberi> Alan_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/zydas_zd1211
[09:12] <blackjackel> only a restart was able to kill that process
[09:13] <DarthShrine> "If you can get absolutely no sound and you have an onboard sound chip you can try to disable it in the BIOS. This solves the problem is some cases." <--- That's on the wiki, does this mean disable the onboard sound, which I would be trying to use? :S
[09:13] <v3n0m`> I just installed kvirc but it's not in the apps list
[09:13] <ZippoFluid> v3n0m`: I'm told that may not happen immediately. I had the same issue with a program earlier.
[09:13] <blackjackel> Anyone know how to edit webcam settings in ubuntu?
[09:14] <ZippoFluid> blackjackel: There's a program...I have it one sec, I'll tell you the name.
[09:15] <ZippoFluid> blackjackel: Camorama Webcam Viewer. Works w/ Logitech stuff.
[09:15] <ZippoFluid> blackjackel: Need to install drivers too of course. That's just the GUI control end.
[09:16] <v3n0m`> ZippoFluid: k,thx
[09:16] <blackjackel> ZippoFluid, apt-get install camorama webcam viewer?
[09:16] <ZippoFluid> blackjackel: I'm not sure the name of the package. I installed it using add/remove.
[09:17] <ZippoFluid> blackjackel: I imagine if you search the repositories for it you'll find it.
[09:17] <blackjackel> ZippoFluid, searches are returning nothing
[09:18] <asicard> GreySim: My memory stick is not in fstab, it is in mtab. Should I edit mtab?
[09:18] <blackjackel> ZippoFluid, found it :)
[09:19] <GreySim> Hmm. In time-admin, the "Synchronize Now" button is insensitive, though I know the NTP stuff is installed. The time is definitely wrong though. Without using UTC, it's 7 hours fast, and with, it's 15 hours fast. Anyone know how the NTP stuff is supposed to work and/or why the sync button is insensitive?
[09:20] <ZippoFluid> GreySim: Maybe the button needs therapy.
[09:20] <GreySim> asicard: Sorry, I know nothing about mtab, so I'm not the best person to ask. I think someone can give you a better answer overall though.
[09:20] <GreySim> ZippoFluid: Hah. :)
[09:21] <asicard> GreySim: Thanks.
[09:23] <GreySim> Anyone know what command the panel's NTP settings actually uses to sync with?
[09:23] <pibarnas> is autoconf2.60 avaiable for feisty?
[09:24] <RAOF> GreySim: The "Synchronize Now" button is only available if you're *not* automatically syncing.  For reasons which escape me :)
[09:25] <GreySim> Weird. If I am automatically syncing, it's not working right at all then. 'ntpdate' by itself says no servers can be used though.
[09:25] <RAOF> pibarnas: autoconf-2.61 is the default version in Feisty, and *should* be compatible with 2.60 :)
[09:25] <Frogzoo_> GreySim: ntpd it seems
[09:27] <orbisvicis> anyone know how to bind keys to commands?
[09:29] <|Zippo|> someone is using Beryl 3.0 + GIT from trevio???
[09:29] <johns^> orbisvicis: use gconf-editor
[09:30] <RAOF> |Zippo|: More people in #ubuntu-effects than here :).
[09:30] <orbisvicis> got it, thanks
[09:31] <ZippoFluid> RAOF: You seem to really know a lot of stuff, is there any particular book you might suggest that would help me get more acquainted with Ubuntu or w/ terminal and gnome in general?

[09:31] <FP> Buongiorno a Tutti
[09:32] <RAOF> ZippoFluid: I've actually never read such a book, so I can't recommend one :).  Basically I just hung around, fiddled with stuff, tried to fix some stuff, etc.
[09:33] <RAOF> ZippoFluid: Although I belive that there *are* some good Ubuntu books out, I just haven't read them :)

[09:34] <AaronCN> Can anyone recommend some BT download website? Thank you . :)
[09:34] <john_watson> Are there C++ IDE like Visual Studio in Ubuntu?
[09:34] <ub12> what's the command to see how much disk space is used and what is using it?
[09:35] <v3n0m`> AaronCN: www.slyck.com (look at the lists on the right side)
[09:35] <EADG_>  du -h | less

[09:35] <DarthShrine> I'm having sound problems on my Toshiba laptop (no sound at all, driver is loaded, etc, etc) lspci calls it: "Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller" How would I fix this?

[09:37] <ZippoFluid> EADG_: What does less do?
[09:37] <john_watson> Is there C++ IDE like Visual Studio in ubuntu?
[09:37] <ub12> john_watson, What IDE are you using in Ubuntu now?
[09:37] <EADG_> ZippoFluid: displays a page at a time if there's more than one.
[09:38] <ZippoFluid> EADG_: Simple enough...=)...Thanks.
[09:38] <john_watson> i used    VS,but i don't know what IDE in linux
[09:39] <dimebar> john_watson: have you looked at Anjuta?
[09:39] <john_watson> anjuta?
[09:39] <Darkhack> I would Anjuta for GNOME and KDevelop for KDE.  Both should be in the repositories.
[09:43] <john_watson> THX
[09:43] <Alan_> bimberi:  Thanks for the link - it's old but had some bits in there that were worth checking into - as far as the kernel module source goes, they've tried to move them to sourceforge and aren't available
[09:44] <nomad111> i just plugged in my external monitor to my laptop running feisty
[09:44] <nomad111> but im not getting full resolution

[09:44] <nomad111> its currently set at 1024x768
[09:44] <nomad111> i have an intel 945gm graphics card
[09:45] <deCon> !resolution > nomad111
[09:46] <Alan_> Is there a system update I can run from the command line?
[09:47] <nomad111> !resolution
[09:47] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:47] <deCon> how do i install something from a dvd? there is a file called dvd at /media/cdrom0/install , how do i run it, because using sudo /media/cdrom0/install isnt' working
[09:47] <Darkhack> Yes.  "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" will update your software.
[09:57] <Alan_> Thanks Darkhack
[09:57] <Darkhack> Do them in that order.
[09:57] <john_watson> Is there anybody use c# in linux?
[09:57] <Darkhack> I don't, but I know you can with Mono.
[09:57] <john_watson> How do you feel mono?
[09:57] <john_watson> How do you feel .net in linux?
[09:57] <Darkhack> You can install Mono from the repositories and MonoDevelop is an IDE designed for it.
[09:57] <Darkhack> I'm sorry John.  I assume that English isn't your first language?  Your question doesn't make sense.
[09:57] <kblin> hi
[09:57] <john_watson> yes,my english is so bad.....,i  am a chinese
[09:57] <Darkhack> Are you asking my opinion on Mono?
[09:57] <john_watson> yes ,opinion
[09:57] <deCon> i can'
[09:57] <Darkhack> I haven't used Mono myself but I know a lot of people who have used it successfully and enjoy it.
[09:57] <deCon> i can't seem to get this installer running, can someone help me out...
[09:57] <deCon> the path is /media/cdrom0/install, but even when i use sudo it says unable to execute: permission denied
[09:57] <john_watson> mono would instead of java  in linux ?
[09:57] <Darkhack> Mono is for C# and Java is for the Java programming language.  It depends on which one you use.  You can use either one you like but most people seem to like Mono better than Java.
[09:57] <RAOF> Mono is not a Java replacement.  And, yes, I would write code for mono rather than java code.
[09:57] <john_watson> oh....
[09:57] <RAOF> You can write mono code in Python, or (ugh) VB.Net, or Boo, or a bunch of other languages.
[09:57] <gnomefreak> thats worse than cursing :(
[09:57] <john_watson> then...java's future is what?
[09:57] <arooni> help!  firebug for firefox doesnt work :(
[09:57] <deCon> umm, please someone help me install matlab from dvd...i can't seem to do it right, it wont let me and i need this for school
[09:57] <Darkhack> Java is being used less and less.  I would go for Mono.
[09:57] <joycetick> anybody know if vista works with vmware server?
[09:57] <RAOF> Java's still useful for web applets, at least until the Silverlight thingy is widely accepted :)
[09:57] <varka> joycetick: it does
[09:57] <joycetick> varka: yay, thx
[09:57] <john_watson> but, c# is microsoft's language, it's more dependent on windows,   it will  work as good as in linux?
[09:57] <Darkhack> It's been a long time since I've seen an applet.  Flash has become the big thing for that kind of stuff.
[09:57] <Darkhack> Although Microsoft has a big influence on C#, they have agreed upon a standard.  You can use Mono with no worries.
[10:10] (jscinoz/#ubuntu) make a script containing cd ~/Desktop make it executable and put it in /usr/bin
[10:10] (jscinoz/#ubuntu) and call it desktop
[10:10] (Darkhack/#ubuntu) Ewww... jscinoz thats the evil way of doing it.
[10:10] (Keneo/#ubuntu) hello, since last update my time is always 1 january 2004 when I log on, after I give ubuntu the time to connect to ntp servers it's back correct
[10:10] (Darkhack/#ubuntu) There is a file specifically for adding aliases.
[10:10] (jscinoz/#ubuntu) I don't know any otherway lol
[10:10] (k1gwb/#ubuntu) ohh I thought there was like an alias command or something :-X
[10:10] (rausb0/#ubuntu) k1gwb: put the alias commands in your ~/.bashrc
[10:10] (Darkhack/#ubuntu) There is an alias command but it is temporary.  Goes away when you reboot.
[10:10] (faileas/#ubuntu) Keneo: i think youe hardware clock is out of batteries
[10:11] (faileas/#ubuntu) >_>
[10:11] (faileas/#ubuntu) <_<
[10:11] (k1gwb/#ubuntu) alias -p command1 command2 or something....I am trying to remember form slackware several years ago though
[10:11] <john_watson> Would microsoft support mono?
[10:11] <jscinoz> guys, i need to restart metacity from tty1, what should i use for --display?
[10:11] <faileas> thats what i get for learning unix on school sun systems
[10:11] <Keneo> faileas: thx :) but I'm actually here for another reason
[10:11] <Darkhack> Do what rausb0 says.  Put it in ~/.bashrc
[10:11] <k1gwb> ohh ok I thought it had a flag that made it persistent...guess not.  Okay I'll do it that way.  Thanks!
[10:11] <john_watson> if mono is work as good as in windows
[10:11] <faileas> Keneo: well you asked, and thats what i think is the issues
[10:11] <john_watson> the no one would use windows
[10:11] <rausb0> k1gwb: and BTW, the alias syntax is: alias name="command -options ..."
[10:11] <faileas> naw
[10:12] <v3n0m`> if I install beryl, can it be enabled/disabled as i please? is there a downside?
[10:12] <faileas> windows has some apps that won't run easily on linux
[10:12] <k1gwb> oh okay thanks.  Like I said, I haven't used it in about 5 years!  thanks guys :)
[10:12] <jscinoz> Simple question guys, what should i put for the --display= if starting metacity from tty1
[10:12] <faileas> if you wanna replace windows you also need to support older runtimes, like MSVB
[10:13] <jscinoz> please guys, i'm stuck running irc from tty1, is it that hard to tell me the correct vairable for --display to have it output to the xserver?
[10:13] <EADG_> jscinoz: try 1
[10:13] <jscinoz> thanks
[10:13] <jscinoz> nope, no xserrver on 1
[10:13] <drift_> can any one help me to get my palm working under linux
[10:14] <EADG_> Hmm, 0 (zero)?

[10:16] <trukosh> hi, i want to make a cronjob that runs on first friday of every month. How do i do? I thought of a combination of days of month and weekday like: 0 0 1-7 * 5 -> but this is: Run on 1,2,3,... and on every friday ..
[10:16] <linxeh> do I need to do anything to the totem-mozilla plugin for it to be able to play mp3 links? it just hangs saying "transferring data from <website>" at the moment :(
[10:16] <rausb0> EADG_: :0 is display 0 on the local machine
[10:18] <linxeh> trukosh: could you not use at instead of cron
[10:18] <jscinoz> When i start any application from the panel, either from and icon or the menu gnome-panel crashes, what causes this and how can i fix it?
[10:19] <roopert> hi
[10:20] <Keneo> my ubuntu configuration just hang, and after I pressed ctr+alt+backspace I got some error messages, in a loop every 30sec's. And I had to reboot How can I view them again? In wicht log files do I have to look?
[10:20] <trukosh> i ll think about that linxeh.. thx
[10:20] <roopert> st cercando un aiuto , chi ou aiutarmi?
[10:20] <v3n0m`> jxxxt: thanks, so I guess there's no downside, I installed it, but now I'm getting an xcomposite extension : failed error ... =/
[10:20] <ikonia> Keneo: look in /var/log - especially at the xorg log
[10:20] <linxeh> trukosh: I guess another option would be to make it run every day in the first week of the month, and have the script check it is a friday :o
[10:20] <jscinoz> Is there a way to completely reset the config for gnome-panel and nautilus they are uber screwed up for me
[10:20] <roopert> please i need help
[10:20] <roopert> :)
[10:20] <roopert> to install netsukuku
[10:21] <Keneo> ikonia: It hang after aprox 30mins of running
[10:21] <Keneo> I got an error with ata4 port failed to respond...
[10:21] <ikonia> Keneo: that doesn't change the fact you should really check the logs
[10:21] <trukosh> Yes, linxeh i was about doing it like you just wrote, but i wondered cron isn't able to do this for me.
[10:21] <ikonia> Keneo: check the syslog, ata is disk access
[10:21] <jxxxt> v3n0m: Yes just go to your beryl manager gui and chage you w manager to something you puter likes
[10:21] <Keneo> ikonia: but in what log can I find it?
[10:21] <Keneo> syslog, ok, thx
[10:21] <linxeh> I don't think so, but there might be some clever trick
[10:22] <Keneo> ikonia: it's a bit tricky to find it, since my clock is on 1jan2004 on boot
[10:22] <ikonia> Keneo: thats you problem. Reset your clock and wait for it to hang
[10:23] <linxeh> trukosh: http://www.unix.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11562
[10:23] <linxeh> trukosh: that seems to have a solution, by wrapping the script with "eval" and using date creatively
[10:23] <v3n0m`> jxxxt: I see thanks, so if I select metacity then it is like turning beryl off I guess.
[10:24] <Keneo> ikonia: it should be in between here, but there is nothing there in syslog: May 21 09:46:28 neo -- MARK --
[10:24] <Keneo> Jan  1 01:35:31 neo syslogd 1.4.1#20ubuntu4: restart.
[10:24] <jxxxt> v3n0m: Yes zactly
[10:25] <v3n0m`> jxxxt: it does not allow me to change to beryl, only compiz and metacity, and I'm not sure what I can do with compiz that I can't with metacity, mainly I wanted to see that cube effect  =p
