[12:01] <geeksauce> Jordan_U, after installing nvidia drivers for my card, the resolution won't go as high as it would with the linux drivers.
[12:01] <Megaqwerty> gonzoism: wow, it is easy! Thanks!
[12:01] <gyaresu> Giod_: An xorg.conf would be helpful
[12:01] <gonzoism> megaQwerty  happy to help
[12:01] <FLSimpsonKPT> can I install a flashplayer for a x64 version of ubuntu?
[12:01] <Giod_> gyaresu: you want a copy of mine?
[12:01] <bruenig> FLSimpsonKPT, you mean plugin?
[12:01] <hanbush> hello, i just switched to ubuntu, its my first time using linux, whats a good mp3 manager for ubuntu, something similiar to itunes or winamp?
[12:01] <FLSimpsonKPT> bruenig, yes for Firefox
[12:01] <bruenig> !mediaplayer
[12:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mediaplayer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:01] <xethx96> i ger a could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[12:01] <geeksauce> hanbush, i use xmms...it's almost exactly like winamp
[12:01] <Nafet> My father made the computer from parts that were given to him at his tech. school, there aren't any labels or names anywhere on or in it.
[12:01] <gyaresu> Giod_: Pastebin yours.
[12:02] <Nafet> hmm...
[12:02] <tritoch> hanbush: amarok is a fanfavorite
[12:02] <Giod_> kk
[12:02] <Jowi> !players | hanbush (I use quodlibet myself)
[12:02] <ubotu> hanbush (I use quodlibet myself): Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[12:02] <gonzoism> xethx96  for instance, the command: echo $(ls) would echo out everything ls spits out
[12:02] <raven3x7>  i need help with a networking problem. im trying to open a certain port range but i cant get it to work. i've used both a direct iptables command and firestarter, but nmapfe still tells me the port is closed. i tried restarting iptables but that didnt work either
[12:02] <bruenig> FLSimpsonKPT, there are some scripts on the forums that will do it for you, you have to install the 32 bit firefox, or you can build a 32 chroot environment
[12:02] <Nafet> wait a sec.
[12:02] <gonzoism> xethx96  yave to be root
[12:02] <gonzoism> xethx96  use sudo at the front
[12:02] <bruenig> he probably has synaptic open
[12:02] <hanbush> which one is most similiar to itunes?
[12:02] <jake_> guys how do install flash plater in ubuntu? im a newbie
[12:03] <FLSimpsonKPT> bruenig, how would I go about installing the 32 bit version of firefox on this 64 bit machiene?
[12:03] <gonzoism> xethx96   or close synaptic   can't use two package managers at the same time
[12:03] <bruenig> jake_, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, assuming you have the right repositories enabled
[12:03] <bruenig> FLSimpsonKPT, get the 32 bit tar.gz from firefox and extract it
[12:03] <VII> In the instructions for envy it says "double click on the deb package in Ubuntu", where is that?
[12:03] <gyaresu> hanbush: amarok but not really
[12:03] <FLSimpsonKPT> bruenig, then
[12:03] <gonzoism> bruenig  do i want binary-i386 or installer-i386 ?
[12:03] <bruenig> FLSimpsonKPT, there is a plugins folder in there, put the flashplayer.so in there
[12:03] <Jowi> Nafet, well, first thing first. No need for labels. if the computer start up, enter bios and check size of RAM and which cpu is installed.
[12:03] <xethx96> couldn't fine package build-essential

[12:04] <gonzoism> stooormy  usb ?
[12:04] <jake_> bruenig: it says "E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?"
[12:05] <bruenig> jake_, sudo apt-get -f
[12:05] <nothlit> VII: ubotu is a bot, not a person
[12:05] <gonzoism> stooormy  its probably /dev/sda1 or something
[12:05] <daedra> hey whats the terminal command to "print screen"
[12:05] <xethx96> E: Couldn't find package build-essential
[12:05] <daedra> or take a screenshot
[12:05] <VII> nothlit, lol, ok
[12:05] <gonzoism> stooormy   maybe /dev/sdb1  or sdc1
[12:05] <bruenig> jake_, I meant sudo apt-get install -f
[12:05] <stooormy> It basically lets me access, but not save to... Something along the lines of I must write-enable it
[12:05] <gonzoism> stooormy  does dmesg |grep sd  sow anything ?
[12:05] <gonzoism> stooormy  what filesystem is on it ?
[12:05] <hanbush> is there a version of amarok for beryl/gnome?
[12:06] <bruenig> hanbush, the regular amarok will work fine
[12:06] <Nafet> ok
[12:06] <JasonDM> ok
[12:06] <VII> Gyaresu: In the instructions for envy it says "double click on the deb package in Ubuntu", where is that?
[12:06] <JasonDM> found out why sound wasn't working

[12:06] <daedra> hey whats the terminal command to "print screen"?
[12:06] <gonzoism> hanbush  no.  it would be the same thing.  use regular amarok.  beryl is what does the efects

[12:07] <gyaresu> VII: Have you enabled your extra repositories?
[12:07] <Jowi> Nafet, you will need the alternative cd. the desktop/live will not boot on that little ram
[12:07] <loquitus_of_borg> Is there a way to know how much actual "memory" is available for processes to use? I am getting the understanding now that the amount of "free" memory displayed by top in Linux is a bit misleading since Linux actually takes over all the free memory. So how much memory is actually availalbe to a process?
[12:07] <xethx96> gonzoism: E: Coultn't find package build-essential
[12:07] <mikeo2> anyone have problems with networking in <IP_ADDRESS>?
[12:07] <Jowi> !alternate | Nafet
[12:07] <igor47> or does anyone have the old version of kvm somewhere on their system? like in /var/cache/apt ?
[12:07] <ubotu> Nafet: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[12:07] <VII> gyaresu, not that I know of
[12:07] <VII> wow, Im so confused.. :D
[12:07] <gonzoism> xethx96  wow.  hm...

[12:07] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[12:07] <gonzoism> xethx96  you are on the command line aren't you ?

[12:08] <Nafet> any sugestions for a computer with that ammount of mem?

[12:08] <gonzoism> bruenig  i want binary-i386 to get packages to install build-essential for ndiswrapper don't i ?
[12:08] <mikeo2> it gets its ip properly from DHCP, but i cant ping the gateway

[12:11] <gonzoism> xethx96  see if you can find it in synaptic.  know synaptic in the menu ?  or on the command line type: sudo synaptic
[12:11] <gyaresu> KanRiNiN: Looking now but first question is "Why do you need to recompile?"
[12:11] <bruenig> gonzoism, that link I sent you doesn't have any debs, I should have checked, this is where the debs are if you didn't figure it out. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/
[12:11] <mikeo2> if i do a /etc/init.d/networking restart it gets its ip properly from dhcp, but i cant ping the gateway
[12:11] <daedra> Hi, does anyone know the command to take a screenshot?
[12:12] <xethx96> gonzoism where would i look
[12:12] <gonzoism> bruenig  thanks  i was wondering
[12:12] <stooormy> Well the backup usb drive is H: on windows and I have a dvd burner plus cd rw ... I doubt my virtual drive matters now
[12:12] <Nafet> well I get to a dark brown background, with a small window with the ubuntu logo and a small message on the bottom saying window manager
[12:12] <mikeo2> and no networking works
[12:12] <KanRiNiN> gyaresu: I'm getting poor framerates in UT2004 and a friend recommended it.
[12:12] <gonzoism> mikeo2 killall dhclient3 first  then try that
[12:12] <stooormy> But as far as finding the backup, nope
[12:12] <juice`> any ideas how to solve this problem?
[12:12] <juice`> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2262468
[12:12] <mikeo2> how do i see if the drivers are loaded too
[12:12] <nrdb> daedra: there is a menu item to take a screen shot
[12:12] <juice`> i already sent it as a bug, but no response
[12:12] <mikeo2> cause have to reboot everytime i try something
[12:13] <gyaresu> KanRiNiN: Pastebin's not loading for me... Don't know why?
[12:13] <xethx96> gonzoism: it didnt find it
[12:13] <gonzoism> mikeo2  dmesg should talk about drivers.
[12:13] <bruenig> xethx96, what are you doing?
[12:13] <Jowi> Nafet, I suggest that you download the alternate cd image.
[12:13] <gonzoism> xethx96 what ubuntu do you have ?
[12:13] <mikeo2> ok thanks will do
[12:13] <xethx96> .10
[12:13] <xethx96> 6.10
[12:13] <raven3x7> this is driving me insane. how can a port be open iptables -L and still be closed?
[12:13] <Nafet> can you send me a link to the mirror?
[12:13] <gonzoism> mikeo2  dmesg | less will make it scroll   use the / key to search
[12:13] <bruenig> xethx96, you are installing build-essential?
[12:14] <xethx96> no
[12:14] <daedra> question answered: import screenshot.png

[12:14] <xethx96> no
[12:14] <xethx96> im trying to get my netgear card to work
[12:14] <Jowi> Nafet, you will need to select the download location yourself from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download?action=show&redirect=download
[12:14] <gyaresu> AntiLaVista: Could you post it elsewhere please. I see your name on the front page but it won't load...

[12:15] <Nafet> <lowers head in a show of dismal hopes>
[12:15] <bruenig> xethx96, it needs to download build-essential and install it
[12:15] <Jowi> Nafet, if it fail maybe you should try slackware on that machine.
[12:16] <xethx96> link please
[12:16] <Nafet> slackware?
[12:16] <xethx96> i have a flash drive

[12:16] <Nafet> alright
[12:16] <bruenig> xethx96, it is going to take more than that. You will need ndiswrapper and others, I don't know all the exact packages

[12:21] <cypherdelic> nrdb: no type exit, window closes, programms open
[12:21] <Invitado53051> hello!!!
[12:21] <funpop> thanks that worked
[12:21] <gonzoism> i'm gonna go
[12:21] <VII> Ygyaresu: I dont know about x11, but I restarted the computr
[12:21] <billy> !hi | Invitado53051
[12:21] <ubotu> Invitado53051: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:21] <GraphicArtist> There cannot be 1029 people here can there?
[12:21] <gyaresu> giod: gyaresu.org/xorg.conf use mine as an example. Weren't you trying the howto from gentoo-wiki?
[12:22] <cypherdelic> funpop: yeah right , it should ;)
[12:22] <gonzoism> later
[12:22] <giod> gyaresu: i added these lines   Option      "TwinView"                 "true"          Option      "RenderAccel"              "true"          Option      "UseEdidFreqs"             "true"
[12:22] <GraphicArtist> Guess soo.
[12:22] <GraphicArtist> so
[12:22] <nrdb> cypherdelic: nope!  typed "kate &" then "exit" kate quit also.
[12:23] <VII> I have the windows drivers on a disk, but I guess I cant use those?
[12:23] <VII> Gyaresu: I have the windows drivers on a disk, but I guess I cant use those?
[12:23] <xethx96> ok so to install this one B-E thing i need like 4 difrent libc6 things
[12:23] <cypherdelic> nrdb: i dont know, i run "gedit &", then "exit" but gedit is open and the terminal is closed, worked too for funpop
[12:24] <VII> gyaresu: gotta restart, brb
[12:24] <billy> if firestarter is running, would it be in my "processes"?
[12:24] <gyaresu> VII: I don't believe that you did it successfully if you still boot up with the laggy screen.
[12:24] <GraphicArtist> I had an old copy of redhat that hacker/script kiddies kept breaking into, so I want to try the server version of Ubuntu. Is there a trick to get the computer to boot off the ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso file on the CD?
[12:24] <Nafet> hi again
[12:24] <Nafet> how are these downloads any different from the official CD that I already have?
[12:25] <GraphicArtist> It won't boot off the Ubutu disk like it does off the RedHat install disks.
[12:25] <Jowi> Nafet, text-mode, no fat
[12:25] <nrdb> cypherdelic: so it does, but not with kate.  ??? I wonder what different.
[12:25] <Jowi> cypherdelic, dbus example for you: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9170/
[12:25] <gyaresu> giod: It's not twin view though is it? You are trying to use two different cards? I really don't know how to do this. It's been ages since I've touched mine...
[12:26] <cypherdelic> Jowi: thanks i will have a look
[12:26] <Kemayo> Hi, I'm trying to install the libapache2-mod-python package with apt-get, but am having difficulties.  The install completes without any errors, but I don't get the relevant module files in /etc/apache2/mods-available.
[12:26] <KanRiNiN> gyaresu: I switched it to the ubuntu pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9171/.  The guide I followed is here http://blog.linuxmonitor.net/2007/03/ultimate-ubuntu-performance-tweaking.html.  The error is at the end.  Thanks.
[12:26] <nrdb> can someone please help!   I am using the update-manager to upgrade from 6.06 -> 6.10 after doing a long download the manager has displayed a terminal window with a question (about vmware) but the terminal window wont active so I can answer the question !!! :( what can I do ?
[12:26] <cypherdelic> nrdb: I have no idea, but im happy withit ;) because i thought it wouldnt work with &, too
[12:27] <mirak> still no Tracker for feisty ?
[12:27] <poningru> nrdb: there should be a gui thing for it
[12:27] <billy> in a terminal i get "Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server. Xlib: No protocol specified"  What does this mean?
[12:27] <billy> anyone ever had trouble getting firestarter to open?
[12:28] <gyaresu> KanRiNiN: Yeah I see it. You will be better off taking this to the #linux channel.
[12:28] <nrdb> cypherdelic: I use 'screen' whenever I want to do something like that, mainly when connecting via ssh to a computer.
[12:28] <GraphicArtist> Hi All, is there a user freindly install tutorial you can point me to?
[12:28] <xethx96> ok i tried installing the Buile-essential but it says the dependancy is missing...
[12:28] <KanRiNiN> thanks.
[12:28] <gesus> hey does anyone know how (i.e. program or command) i could mass rename all of my files and folders on a certain HD so that all files and folders are in lowercase?
[12:28] <raven3x7> im going insane here
[12:28] <GraphicArtist> Wouldn't that break thinks?
[12:29] <nrdb> poningru: for what ?
[12:29] <gyaresu> !repos | xethx96
[12:29] <ubotu> xethx96: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[12:29] <gyaresu> xethx96: I told you that you'd want to check that firs.
[12:29] <stiv2k> Help, I popped in the ubuntu-6.10-server-i386 CD into an older emachines/celeron and it wouldn't boot it just skipped over and went to windows XP
[12:29] <jimmygoon> My movies crash - I have a high res .mov file for a RoR screencast and I can't watch it unless I boot windows
[12:29] <poningru> nrdb: what you asked
[12:29] <stiv2k> i already checked the boot order in the BIOS and the ATAPI CDROM is the primary boot device
[12:29] <jimmygoon> stiv2k : do you have the boot order configured properly?
[12:30] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: temporarily disable the other stuff
[12:30] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: i already checked the boot order in the BIOS and the ATAPI CDROM is the primary boot device
[12:30] <gyaresu> stiv2k: old optical drive. you might try burning a cd at a slower speed.
[12:30] <poningru> nrdb: it should have popped open a thing in update manager
[12:30] <tobyr> Woo
[12:30] <jimmygoon> sometimes the bios gets confused as to what is the ATAPI CDROM
[12:30] <tobyr> Resized partitions for the win :D
[12:30] <xethx96> gyaresu sorry i didnt catch that, how  do i get he dependancy, i tried installing the one it asks for but i have a later version already installed
[12:30] <gesus> does anyone know how i could mass rename all of my files and folders on a certain HD so that all files and folders are in lowercase?
[12:30] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: should i try burning the CD at a lower speed
[12:30] <gyaresu> xethx96: Did you setup your repos with EasySource?
[12:30] <jimmygoon> I dunna - gyaresu thinks so... I have no reason to think one way or another ... its worth a shot.. cd's are cheap!
[12:30] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: disable what other stuff
[12:31] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: they are cheap but i have only like four left
[12:31] <xethx96> gyaresu im totaly new to linux so your speaking chinese to me XD
[12:31] <gyaresu> !repos > xethx96
[12:31] <jimmygoon> stiv2K : oh... ... heh... I meant disable all the other boot items
[12:31] <gyaresu> !EasySource > xethx96
[12:31] <Ax3> anyone ever use Miredo?
[12:31] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: i can't disable them i can only change the order in which they are booted
[12:31] <jimmygoon> gyaresu: where can I find a list of those commands you are using with whatever bot thats in here?
[12:31] <nrdb> poningru: I the terminal (inside the main window) just has a question on it "Overwrite? [yes]  " but I can't activate it to answer
[12:32] <tobyr> Does anyone know of any decent adventure games for Ubuntu?
[12:32] <tobyr> Or any games with a narrated dialogue etc?
[12:32] <billy> why won't firestarter start when I click on the icon?
[12:32] <gyaresu> ubotu: tell jimmygoon about yourself
[12:32] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: what are the other things in the list --- you can't like hit Shift+1 to disable or something like that
[12:32] <jimmygoon> thanks gyaresu
[12:32] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: CDROM, removable devices, hard drive, network boot in that order
[12:32] <absolutroot> gesus:  i am not sure how, but becareful when you do.. if you rename files and they have a symbolic link, it will not be able to find them
[12:32] <Jowi> tobyr, beneath-a-steel-sky is nice
[12:33] <Jowi> old but nice
[12:33] <tobyr> I've got that, thanks :D
[12:33] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: do you have more than one drive?
[12:33] <tobyr> I wish they would make a game like Still Life for Linux
[12:33] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: just one
[12:33] <tobyr> But that's asking too much, would cost a lot of money
[12:33] <raven3x7> ok guys ive shut down iptables and port 6891 is still closed. how is this possible? anyone know?
[12:33] <poningru> nrdb: OH
[12:33] <poningru> hmm
[12:33] <tobyr> I've got Egoboo
[12:33] <tobyr> That looks quite good
[12:33] <Giod_> is there a way i can use the ubuntu live cd to erase every thing on a driver including filesystem
[12:34] <poningru> nrdb: check the actual terminal where you called the command from
[12:34] <Giod_> lol
[12:34] <poningru> Giod_: fdisk
[12:34] <Giod_> will that erase everything
[12:34] <poningru> Giod_: keep in mind thats still not a complete 'wipe'
[12:34] <poningru> as in that just destroys the table
[12:34] <tobyr> I'm in a good mood
[12:34] <danieleboyo> im having some video card difficulty if anyone would like to help
[12:35] <tobyr> I just used a towel to fix my Xbox 360
[12:35] <geeksauce> what should i use to burn a cd or dvd (data)?
[12:35] <tobyr> ;)
[12:35] <Giod_> i just need to remove the filesystem
[12:35] <poningru> Giod_: skilled can get at it
[12:35] <poningru> people*
[12:35] <poningru> Giod_: fdisk is perfect for you then
[12:35] <gyaresu> raven3x7: How are you determining that your ports are shut down?
[12:35] <billy> Is there a Firestarter chat?
[12:35] <Giod_> kk
[12:35] <nrdb> poningru: no printing there, I tried to answer anyway but noting happened.
[12:35] <poningru> geeksauce: gnome-baker
[12:36] <poningru> nrdb: are you sure the terminal in update manager has focus
[12:36] <raven3x7> gyaresu, nmapfe and i scan <IP_ADDRESS> am i doing something wrong
[12:36] <geeksauce> poningru, is that installed by default or do i need to snag it from synaptic?
[12:36] <poningru> geeksauce: by default
[12:36] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: I can't think of anything else... maybe try burning at a lower speed - maybe order a disc online (free - shipit) .... I dunna
[12:36] <xethx96> gyaresu what am i suposed to do with the sourcelist?
[12:36] <jimmygoon> !tell stiv2k about shipit
[12:36] <poningru> geeksauce: you can also use the gnome partition editor
[12:36] <poningru> or whatever they call it
[12:36] <nrdb> poningru: the bar at the top of window is the 'active' color.
[12:36] <geeksauce> poningru, don't see it... is it not in the menu?
[12:36] <danieleboyo> im having some video performance issues
[12:36] <poningru> geeksauce: fdisk is command line
[12:37] <poningru> geeksauce: gparted is gui
[12:37] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: theres nothing wrong w. my CD
[12:37] <geeksauce> poningru, i meant the gnome-baker
[12:37] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: did you "verify" it off the ISO or what makes you think that?
[12:37] <poningru> geeksauce: sorry got you confuzled
[12:37] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: i booted it on my other PC
[12:37] <poningru> geeksauce: no its not installed be default
[12:37] <jimmygoon> hmm
[12:37] <poningru> do it from synaptic
[12:37] <gyaresu> raven3x7: raven3x7 What program do you have running on that port? Is there anything actually running at the moment?
[12:38] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: how old is the PC?
[12:38] <hanbush> hello, how do i play wmv and quicktime videos in the browser?
[12:38] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: celeron, initially came installed with win98
[12:39] <danieleboyo> i have a geforce 6600  GT 256 mb video card, with the nvidia drivers from the web site and simple games are really choppy..any ideas?
[12:39] <raven3x7> gyaresu, no nothing is running on that port
[12:39] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: so BIOS updates ... are non existant?
[12:39] <gyaresu> xethx96: you need to copy it to /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:39] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: i think the cdrom is broken
[12:39] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: in windows XP, it recognizes a drive D: but it thinks theres no disc in it
[12:39] <stiv2k> when there is
[12:39] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: >_< :Doh: -- I was wondering...
[12:39] <jimmygoon> heh
[12:40] <jimmygoon> go to a garage sale! I used to have 2/3 laying around here at home
[12:40] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: is that substantial evidence to consider it broken
[12:40] <gyaresu> raven3x7: And 'sudo nmap -v localhost' brings back 'Not shown: 1669 closed ports' ?
[12:40] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: .. Um... I dunna. As far as I'm concerned it is... The dilemna is ... is it worth a new CD drive... heh
[12:40] <dougie> looks like i have to copy all the disc's to a folder...lol
[12:40] <stiv2k> can i do a server install off of a floppy disk?
[12:40] <noogymmij> Does anyone know why Totem crashes (everytime) when I try to play my RoR .mov presentation?
[12:41] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: you could.... then again you could poke your eye for the next hour
[12:41] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: what's that supposed to mean
[12:41] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: honestly... if you want to install linux that bad... you can... but ubuntu doesn't have a really good alt. installation mechanism... imo
[12:41] <xethx96> -_-
[12:41] <xethx96> anyone?
[12:41] <gesus> i've found a program that mass case-converts file names, but anyone know one that will work for folders? they are nothing important, mostly folders with of music albums and photos, etc.
[12:41] <AndrewB> xethx96: what?
[12:41] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: I'm just saying that anything besides a CD.... you're treading into vastly unsupported territories
[12:42] <Jowi> stiv2k, yes it is possible. you have several ways. see here for instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[12:42] <jimmygoon> like its possible... but its not going to be fun.. I don't even know that there is a netwrok install for ubuntu
[12:42] <stiv2k> Jowi: ok
[12:42] <tekk> hi guys, whats the best way to run photoshop under ubuntu?
[12:42] <raven3x7> gyaresu, no
[12:42] <xethx96> im trying to install build-essential but the dependancy isnt there so i tried installing the dependancy but it says i have a leter version already installed
[12:42] <gyaresu> tekk: Don't.
[12:42] <jimmygoon> heh, Jowi is more helpful than I :P
[12:42] <AndrewB> xethx96: then you have it..
[12:42] <jimmygoon> tekk: Drink wine... or rather use wine to emulate photoshop
[12:42] <gyaresu> raven3x7: ...could you perhaps be more verbose?
[12:42] <billy> Figured out what was wrong with firestarter.  One of the howto's at their site did something bad.
[12:42] <tekk> wine runs it well now ?
[12:43] <xethx96> but when i try to install build-essential it asks for a dif one
[12:43] <jimmygoon> !wine | tekk
[12:43] <ubotu> tekk: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:43] <tekk> is it best to configure wine to use windows dll's instead of its home made stuff ?
[12:43] <DisabledBobcat> Can you use more than 2 workspaces?
[12:43] <jimmygoon> I don't know if wine runs it... but thats the only way its going to run under Linux (except for Crossover but thats for pay... or using some type of emulation ...)
[12:43] <hanbush> hey guys, what program do i need to play wmv and quicktime in firefox?
[12:43] <tekk> !Crossover | tekk
[12:43] <tekk> :p
[12:43] <raven3x7> gyaresu, sorry it says 1668 ports closed actually. would you like me to pastebin the entire output?
[12:43] <ks1> ffmpeg
[12:43] <colorred> hanbush: vlc
[12:44] <tekk> i dont mind paying to use it
[12:44] <hanbush> it works in firefox?
[12:44] <tekk> however, ive heard gimp is a good alternative
[12:44] <jimmygoon> Disabledbobcat: yes... right click the workspace applet - goto preferences and configure
[12:44] <tekk> is it as feature packed ?
[12:44] <gyaresu> raven3x7: And you've been messing with iptables right?
[12:44] <ks1> hanbush, ffmpeg
[12:44] <colorred> hanbush: i _think_ there is a mozilla plugin
[12:44] <ks1> u need the ffmpeg lib...
[12:44] <kadjo> hello all: does anyone know a software from ubuntu repository for dvd audio ripping?
[12:44] <jimmygoon> colorred: I have never gotten vlc to play in my browser... in fact I just installed totem to try to resolve that
[12:44] <silya> I need a program for recording my work on desktop
[12:44] <raven3x7> gyaresu, yes. both with firestarter and the command line
[12:44] <nrdb> poningru: I think I found out what happened it looks like the update-manager quit without closeing its window.
[12:44] <gyaresu> raven3x7: Do you need a firewall? If you've got a router then you don't...
[12:45] <gyaresu> raven3x7: Sorry. I have to ask.
[12:45] <poningru> nrdb: oh
[12:45] <poningru> !plugin | hanbush
[12:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about plugin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:45] <poningru> !plugins | hanbush
[12:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about plugins - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:45] <colorred> is there a way to trigger a script when screen saver activates?
[12:45] <poningru> DUMB BOT
[12:46] <tekk> crossover doesnt run cs2 i thought? only upto ps7 ?
[12:46] <noogymmij> Does anyone know why Totem crashes (everytime) when I try to play my RoR .mov presentation?
[12:46] <gyaresu> !botabuse > poningru
[12:46] <gyaresu> poningru: :)
[12:46] <jimmygoon> tekk: i have no idea if it does...
[12:46] <xethx96> so is anyone gunna help?
[12:46] <Jowi> colorred, xscreensaver-command -watch
[12:46] <tekk> can anyone confirm wine working with photoshop ?
[12:46] <Jowi> colorred, no idea if it exist in gnome-screensaver though
[12:46] <puff> tekk: Ouch, that sounds scary.
[12:46] <jimmygoon> xethx96: start at the beginning what are you installing?
[12:46] <colorred> Jowi: thanks, dude. gonna take a look at that.
[12:46] <poningru> tekk: yes
[12:46] <raven3x7> gyaresu, i do have a router. i guess ill just shut it down for now
[12:47] <xethx96> my wireless pci card

[12:47] <cables> !ask | gelie
[12:47] <ubotu> gelie: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:47] <jimmygoon> xethx96: which is? what version, etc?
[12:47] <rjonesx> any reason why i wouldnt be able to use apt-get install cabextract?
[12:47] <gyaresu> raven3x7: Your router acts as a firewall. You'd only need a software firewall on you machine if you have issues on you LAN.
[12:47] <xethx96> netgear wg511 v2
[12:47] <Jowi> colorred, you might be able to with "gnome-screensaver-command --query"
[12:47] <rjonesx> oh yeah, i am a hopeless first timer...
[12:47] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: install drivers
[12:48] <poningru> xethx96: whats wrong?
[12:48] <yomm_> If I set my eth0 to static ,and don't assign a gateway ,would that make my network inaccessible from everything behind my router ( which is the gateway ) ?
[12:48] <poningru> rjonesx: that should have worked whats the error it throws?
[12:48] <jimmygoon> xethx96: what ver of ubuntu?
[12:48] <xethx96> cant install build essential because i have a newer version of its dependancy
[12:48] <xethx96> 6.10
[12:48] <gyaresu> poningru: jimmygoon Please help xethx96 setup his sources first... I need caffeine.
[12:48] <gelie> does anybody know if Acer InviLink is going to work with linux?
[12:48] <jimmygoon> gyaresu: what sources does he need?
[12:48] <poningru> xethx96: what are you compiling?
[12:48] <jimmygoon> oh, h/o
[12:49] <xethx96> compelling?
[12:49] <gelie> does anybody know if Acer InviLink is going to work with linux?   --> it's a wifi "card"
[12:49] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon
[12:49] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: yeS?
[12:49] <poningru> xethx96: hmm does your card show up in network-admin

[12:49] <gelie> nope
[12:49] <mikefoo> Anyone know free server virtualzation?  so I can split one server into several?
[12:49] <cables> !who | gelie
[12:49] <ubotu> gelie: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[12:49] <kadjo> hello all: does anyone know a software from ubuntu repository for dvd audio ripping?
[12:50] <xethx96> brb
[12:50] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: are you sure that x.org is setup to use those drivers?
[12:50] <rjonesx> ponigru: couldn't find package cabextract
[12:50] <danieleboyo> yup
[12:50] <rjonesx> ponigru: no problem with other packages..

[12:50] <cables> poningru, gelie said nope. I !who'd him.
[12:50] <xethx96> i have ndiswrapper
[12:50] <rjonesx> trying to use ndiswrapper so that i can get my wlan working...
[12:50] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: have you tried glxgears to get a FPS reading
[12:50] <poningru> oh hehe thanks
[12:50] <xethx96> iv installed it
[12:50] <jimmygoon> xethx96: does it not work or what?
[12:50] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon: no...whats that?
[12:50] <xethx96> but i have no clue how to use ot or what to do with it
[12:51] <fatlip> "Could not open /dev/sequencer"
[12:51] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon: i was playing tremulous ( i dont knwo if you knwo it...) but i was getting 48 fps...which seems pretty bad
[12:51] <poningru> xethx96: can you go to system->admin->network admin
[12:51] <poningru> do you see your wifi card there?
[12:51] <rjonesx> need cabextract to open the driers...
[12:51] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: that does... but it could've been from like a fluke-- is that consistent?
[12:51] <poningru> rjonesx: question what kinda wlan is it?
[12:51] <xethx96> nio
[12:51] <xethx96> no
[12:51] <gelie> xethx96: do you know if Acer InviLink is going to work with linux?
[12:51] <jimmygoon> xethx96: ok. Lemme put my thinking cap on because I had to use it to use my USB card to make a digipicture frame... either way
[12:51] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon :( yup :(
[12:51] <poningru> !wifi | gelie
[12:51] <ubotu> gelie: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:52] <poningru> gelie: the problem is I need to find the model number inorder to research
[12:52] <ciscosurfer> Does anyone know if there's a compiz settings manager for Feisty?
[12:52] <cables> ciscosurfer, there is
[12:52] <poningru> ciscosurfer: a tiny one
[12:52] <xethx96> linux recognizes it though
[12:52] <raven3x7> gyaresu, hmm i shut down the firewall from firestarter but those ports are still closed
[12:52] <poningru> nothing like beryl's
[12:52] <poningru> xethx96: what do you mena recognizes it?
[12:52] <colorred> Jowi: found some - http://live.gnome.org/GnomeScreensaver/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-ac43c8f33bc700a5e298e6a82ded0e8bb9b33043
[12:52] <noogymmij> xethx96: what do you mean it recognizes it?
[12:52] <lovloss> Is there a good program for ubuntu/kubuntu that unerases files?
[12:52] <ciscosurfer> cables, poningru: where would I find it?
[12:53] <poningru> xethx96: can you do me a favor and run this on a terminal "lscpi -v | grep bcm"
[12:53] <cables> ciscosurfer, system>preferences>desktop effects
[12:53] <rjonesx> ponigru: broadcom 4311 (on a new HP laptop: came with vista. replaced it with a functioning operating system (ubuntu))
[12:53] <poningru> ...
[12:53] <cables> !wifi > gelie
[12:53] <ciscosurfer> cables, that's the manager?  I want to modify compiz plugins, etc.
[12:53] <cables> ciscosurfer, i know... it's sorta crappy
[12:53] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon: its not a fluke, and other games run pretty poorly (ie starcraft under wine doesnt even get to the main load page)
[12:53] <poningru> rjonesx: you dont have to use ndiswrapper just install firmware
[12:53] <poningru> !bcm43xx | rjonesx
[12:53] <ubotu> rjonesx: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:53] <poningru> GAAAH
[12:53] <ciscosurfer> cables: yeah.  I just thought I was missing something.  oh well
[12:53] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: sorry, I've already exhausted all the troubleshooting ideas I've got for grafix cards...
[12:54] <gelie> it doesn't say if there is InviLink there
[12:54] <poningru> rjonesx: if you search in synaptic there is a bcm firmware package
[12:54] <poningru> gelie: you need the model number
[12:54] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon: hmm...any ideas who i can try?
[12:54] <poningru> go find that out
[12:54] <Jowi> colorred, using dbus. quite cool
[12:54] <xethx96> poningru, it wont work unless i take off the -v|grep stuff
[12:54] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: poke around here for a while... ubuntuforums.org is GREAT!
[12:54] <poningru> gelie: cause companies use different chipsets for different model numbers
[12:54] <poningru> xethx96: you have to put a space there thats why
[12:54] <cables> poningru, he's a little stunned... first time on IRC.
[12:54] <jimmygoon> heh
[12:54] <xethx96> nah
[12:55] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon: hahah i guess so!
[12:55] <jimmygoon> xethx96: I've got some guides I'm looking at for prism/ndiswrapper... lemme do some looking... brb.. gotta feed dogs
[12:55] <xethx96> k
[12:55] <xethx96> what am i looking for poningru
[12:55] <xethx96> the line of code still doesnt work though
[12:56] <rjonesx> will look into synaptic though, but i dont even know what that is (noob)
[12:56] <xethx96> lspci -v|grep bcm
[12:56] <poningru> sigh
[12:56] <poningru> xethx96: you didnt put a space there dude
[12:56] <xethx96> ...
[12:56] <xethx96> where?
[12:56] <poningru> lspci -v | grep bcm
[12:56] <poningru> look at what I typed and what you typed
[12:56] <xethx96> i did that too and got nothing
[12:56] <poningru> ah ok then should have said that
[12:56] <xethx96> lspci -v | grep bcm
[12:57] <jimmygoon> :)
[12:57] <poningru> you dont have bcm
[12:57] <xethx96> bcm?
[12:57] <poningru> its a certain chipset that lots of people with wifi prob have
[12:57] <poningru> i.e rjonesx
[12:57] <xethx96> good thing i dont have it
[12:57] <rellik> Xorg uses up a huge percentage of my CPU when using my computer normally (nothing that should be terribly taxing on the computer)..  I run xinerama.. could that be the culprit?  Is there an alternative to Xorg I could try? (I don't really know what it is)
[12:57] <jimmygoon> xethx96: http://e-lehmann.de/index.php/2006/12/23/wlan-on-ubuntu-via-netgear-wg511v2/
[12:57] <poningru> actually bad thing cause it can be fixed with a firmware install
[12:57] <poningru> rjonesx: hold on
[12:58] <sethrd> Hello hello.
[12:58] <xethx96> bah
[12:58] <jimmygoon> ?
[12:58] <xethx96> thats the 20th time iv seen that
[12:58] <wolfspirit> question.. what would everyone here think about joining an annual or bi-annual linux lan party?
[12:58] <xethx96> and i still dont know how to use nds wrapper
[12:58] <radar1976> hellop
[12:58] <xethx96> nor can i find how to run it
[12:58] <poningru> rjonesx: sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-firmware
[12:59] <raven3x7> does anyone know how i stop the firewall from the comman line?
[12:59] <jimmygoon> xethx96: its one instruction after another
[12:59] <radar1976> ok question, can someone check a website for me?
[12:59] <poningru> raven3x7: what firewall?
[12:59] <poningru> iptables?
[12:59] <jimmygoon> the idea with ndiswrapper is that you give it the windows driver and it loads it at boot for you
[12:59] <jimmygoon> its not a program and there is no GUI
[12:59] <raven3x7> poningru, iptables i gues
[12:59] <xethx96> it doesnt tell me how to use or run nds wrapper -_-
[12:59] <wolfspirit> poningru: check under /etc/init.d
[12:59] <jimmygoon> radar1976: pm it to me
[12:59] <Jowi> rellik, use "htop" for a nice overview on which process it is exactly.
[01:00] <jimmygoon> xethx96: yes it does ;) Then type sudo ndiswrapper -i WG511v2.INF to install the driver.
[01:00] <poningru> wolfspirit: sorry?
[01:00] <jimmygoon> that was a quote ;)
[01:00] <ciscosurfer> cables: can you point me to an app that I can use to modify my compiz setup on Feisty?
[01:00] <poningru> raven3x7: on just do init.d iptables stop
[01:00] <poningru> raven3x7: sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop
[01:00] <wolfspirit> raven3x7: what he just said
[01:00] <wolfspirit> lol
[01:01] <bruenig> ciscosurfer, go to #ubuntu-effects
[01:01] <raven3x7> poningru, there doesnt seem to be such an enetry
[01:01] <ciscosurfer> bruenig: I did, no one's talking :/
[01:01] <sethrd> Am I really the only person who doesn't care much about Compiz or Beryl?
[01:01] <bruenig> ciscosurfer, then go to forums or google or something
[01:01] <poningru> raven3x7: sorry you have to add couple of repositories
[01:01] <wolfspirit> radar1976: what is the website
[01:02] <megafauna> sethrd: perhaps. but then again, perhaps not.
[01:02] <gesus> hey i've moved over from windows xp to ubuntu, just trying to configure my mail client Evolution. i want to import my contacts and emails i've saved from microsoft outlook (saved as BACKUP.PST)

[01:02] <ciscosurfer> bruenig: easy...
[01:02] <xethx96> god hates me XD
[01:02] <poningru> raven3x7: are you sure?
[01:03] <poningru> raven3x7: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[01:03] <axisys> how do i display the system time using java in one line?

[01:03] <radar1976> what is the result?
[01:03] <gyaresu> xethx96: I am back with caffeine and I will help you.
[01:03] <jimmygoon> xethx96: you have to have the driver files in the folder that you're in
[01:04] <raven3x7> hmm
[01:04] <xethx96> what folder am i in?
[01:04] <raven3x7> wolfspirit, i dont have that line
[01:04] <xethx96> lol
[01:04] <jimmygoon> gyaresu: his card works with ndiswrapper so i'm walking him through that
[01:04] <rellik> Jowi, alright, I got that htop running..  the process that is hogging all my CPU every time I do ANYTHING (type, alt-tab, etc) is /usr/X11R6/bin/W :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
[01:04] <jimmygoon> xethx96: your home directory --- /home/xethx96/ or something like that
[01:04] <xethx96> wow i felt stupid asking that
[01:04] <gyaresu> xethx96: jimmygoon I have caffeine and ignore me. :)
[01:04] <Jowi> gesus, isn't it just to use file -> import in evolution?
[01:04] <sethrd> radar1976: It doesn't resolve.
[01:05] <jimmygoon> xethx96: its alright I do stuff all the time thinking I'm in a different folder...
[01:05] <rellik> Jowi, I don't suppose it's as easy as changing the flags X is running with?
[01:05] <radar1976> huh?
[01:05] <radar1976> www.bcwebcams.com
[01:05] <radar1976> doesn't resolve?
[01:05] <sethrd> Not on my end.
[01:05] <raven3x7> poningru, 6.10 actually
[01:05] <xethx96> wate...
[01:05] <jimmygoon> none here..
[01:05] <gesus> Jowi, no, it doesn't recognise the file. neither does thunderbird.
[01:05] <Jowi> rellik, that does not sound good. could be anything. might be drivers.
[01:05] <jimmygoon> xethx96... wait? heh
[01:05] <xethx96> yo can we talk via pm...
[01:05] <raven3x7> poningru, Amd64
[01:05] <DM|> Ok, i am trying to copy a file from a CD ( ubuntu CD) to a USB drive and no matter what i do i cannot copy it, even under sudo
[01:06] <poningru> raven3x7: ah that explains it
[01:06] <xethx96> im geting flustered by the croudedness of this place

[01:06] <rellik> Jowi, that's pretty much the worst thing I could imagine..  "could be anything" :)
[01:06] <xethx96> jimmygoon
[01:06] <jimmygoon> xethx96: I PM'ed you...
[01:07] <poningru> raven3x7: I am not 100% sure you can use the firmware
[01:07] <xethx96> let me get off this browser irc
[01:07] <Jowi> rellik, you can see if using the VESA driver and one screen also have the problem.
[01:07] <gyaresu> !tab | xethx96
[01:07] <ubotu> xethx96: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:07] <raven3x7> poningru, err what firmware?
[01:07] <bruenig> DM|, can you copy from the cd to the HD, and from the HD to the flash drive?
[01:07] <bryanl> wow the new ubuntu feisty herd 5 is nice.
[01:07] <bryanl> i'm impressed.
[01:07] <DM|> bruenig nope wont let me
[01:07] <gyaresu> !offtopic | bryanl
[01:07] <ubotu> bryanl: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:08] <bryanl> DM! boo!!!
[01:08] <bruenig> DM|, so where is the breakdown then, is it CD to HD, or HD to flash drive
[01:08] <raven3x7> poningru, i was trying to shutdown iptables
[01:08] <poningru> raven3x7: oh sorry
[01:08] <DM|> bruenig o, fixed it, thanks hehe
[01:08] <bryanl> !cromulent | everyone
[01:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cromulent - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:08] <DM|> bruenig no wait
[01:08] <bryanl> lol
[01:08] <raven3x7> poningru, :D but i dont have a iptable script. its kinda weird
[01:08] <poningru> raven3x7: do 'sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop'
[01:08] <poningru> waah?
[01:09] <poningru> raven3x7: how did you install iptables?
[01:09] <DM|> bruenig i copied it from the CD to my HDD, but now it wont let me copy it to my USB stick
[01:09] <raven3x7> poningru, uhm i installed firestarter
[01:09] <bruenig> DM|, is your usb stick linux compatible
[01:09] <DM|> bruenig aye,
[01:09] <DM|> bruenig think the reason is that its formatted fat16?
[01:09] <Jowi> gesus, found this from Novell site. seems like you need to convert the pst. http://www.novell.com/documentation/evolution24/index.html?page=/documentation/evolution24/evolution24/data/importing-mail-and-settings.html
[01:09] <Kooka> bis dann zusammen
[01:09] <gyaresu> What's that new command to replace 'update-rc.d _blah_ remove' ?
[01:10] <bruenig> DM|, fat16 should be fine I think, have you tried to do it with cp
[01:10] <poningru> gyaresu: didnt change
[01:10] <ciscosurfer> raven3x7: firestarter is just a GUI front-end to iptables.  iptables is in ubuntu by default.
[01:10] <DM|> bruenig trying that now
[01:10] <poningru> raven3x7: do this 'ps aux | grep iptables'
[01:10] <gyaresu> poningru: Yeah someone mentioned it yesterday. New script that does better checking.
[01:10] <poningru> gyaresu: there is?
[01:10] <raven3x7> ciscosurfer, thats what i though myself. doesnt explain why i dont have a startup script though
[01:10] <Edin> ok back
[01:11] <DM|> bruenig it says omitting dir but doesnt actually copy it
[01:11] <Edin> im xethx
[01:11] <gyaresu> poningru: Yeah. That's what I said... Not even a memo.
[01:11] <ciscosurfer> raven3x7: I wasn't really following your conversation, I just noticed that last comment and thought I'd chime in :-)

[01:11] <chief> anyone know hwo to make vlc my default player for all videos?
[01:11] <raven3x7> poningru, raven     8642  0.0  0.0   3900   808 pts/0    S+   02:11   0:00 grep iptables
[01:11] <raven3x7> [2] -  Done                    sudo firestarter
[01:12] <ciscosurfer> raven3x7: kmyfirewall is a nifty app you might want to check out also
[01:12] <jimmygoon> chief: right click your video files and goto the right tab
[01:12] <jimmygoon> right-click -> properties -> etc
[01:12] <bruenig> DM|, don't know my flash drives have always worked fine, I always checked on the box to make sure it said linux compatible, I would assume that most of them are though
[01:12] <raven3x7> ciscosurfer, ill check it out.
[01:13] <ciscosurfer> raven3x7, :-D
[01:13] <gesus> Jowi, problem is i no longer have an install of windows.
[01:13] <raven3x7> poningru, so if dont need a firewall is it afe to completely remove it? i mean will anything break that you are aware of?
[01:14] <poningru> raven3x7: remove what? iptables? or firestarter?
[01:14] <jacob_> can anyone help me install darwin streaming server
[01:14] <raven3x7> poningru, iptables
[01:14] <Jowi> gesus, it say on the novell site that you can use mozilla mail (thunderbird maybe they mean) to do it.
[01:15] <geeksauce> gnome-bake keeps freezing on me... anyone know what the problem could be?
[01:15] <gesus> Jowi, but aren't they talking about a mozilla install on windows?
[01:15] <poningru> raven3x7: I wanna say it will not cause problems
[01:15] <poningru> but... not sure
[01:15] <poningru> gesus: what are you trying to do?
[01:16] <Jowi> gesus, they are, but it should not matter since they mention that you need a mail prog that uses mbox format.
[01:16] <kbrosnan> poningru: migratate a pst file on linux
[01:16] <gesus> poningru, i'm trying to import emails/contacts into evolution (or thunderbird) from a .pst file
[01:16] <poningru> oh
[01:16] <poningru> hold on
[01:16] <geeksauce> or an alternative program to burn cd's?
[01:17] <gesus> Jowi, i couldn't import the .pst file in thunderbird
[01:17] <bruenig> geeksauce, cdrecord
[01:17] <poningru> geeksauce: k3b
[01:17] <geeksauce> bruenig, data cd's?
[01:17] <bruenig> geeksauce, yeah
[01:17] <poningru> geeksauce: thats command line tool
[01:18] <poningru> you have to do it in a terminal
[01:18] <bruenig> which means fun
[01:18] <poningru> bruenig: please tell people such things
[01:18] <poningru> dont leave them hanging like that
[01:18] <bruenig> perhaps he would enjoy cdrecord
[01:18] <poningru> gesus: hmm do you have access to a windows box
[01:18] <rellik> is ubuntu set up to allow non-LAN ssh connections by default?  my hosts.* files are both empty, which I thought meant someone could connect..  but he says it's timing out..  does SSHd have its own connection privs?  all the settings are their defaults
[01:18] <Kastang> Hey, Having a small probelm. I just did a system update on Ubuntu(Just put it on my laptop), Along with the Update was a Kernel update. I also did a ATI driver update while that was in progress.. Everything seemed to go smooth, But I rebooted and It selects the new kernel at boot, and it goes to the "loading" screen.. the orange bar gets almost to the end.. then some graphical glitches come...
[01:18] <Kastang> ...up on the screen and it freezes. Im in recovery mode now, I am not sure what to do though.
[01:18] <gesus> poningru, i could probably make it happen yep
[01:19] <Flamekebab> hmm.. what's happened to Automatix/the automatix website?
[01:19] <Jowi> rellik, yes, no ports are blocked by default. if you install ssh server you will be able to connect. you must configure your router to do the port forwarding though.
[01:19] <ciscosurfer> gesus: try here > http://www.go-evolution.org/Shell or here > http://linux.uta.edu/article.php?pid=5
[01:19] <poningru> gesus: your best bet would be to use the pst file in a windows box with outlook and get thunderbird to import on the windows box and then take the mbox from thunderbird
[01:19] <LjL> !automatix | Flamekebab
[01:19] <ubotu> Flamekebab: automatix 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
[01:19] <poningru> Flamekebab: what are you trying to install?
[01:19] <Flamekebab> LjL, that wasn't helpful..
[01:19] <Edin> jimmygoon i sent you a pm
[01:19] <Flamekebab> I'm not trying to install anything
[01:20] <rellik> Jowi, yeah I have the port forwarded.. must be user error (my friend's of course..  not mine) :)
[01:20] <Flamekebab> I know exactly what Automatix *is*
[01:20] <jacob_> chown: `qtss': invalid user
[01:20] <jacob_>  ---how do i fix that
[01:20] <omeil> have you tried booting with the old kernel?
[01:20] <gesus> poningru, cheers mate
[01:20] <LjL> Flamekebab: so you know it doesn't belong to here. ask in its channel.
[01:20] <Jowi> rellik, want me to try to see if I get a login prompt?
[01:20] <Flamekebab> LjL, so much for being kind and helpful
[01:21] <Kastang> By the way, I have tried booting with the old kernel, and the same thing happens - It seems like I messed up something with the Driver install
[01:21] <rellik> Jowi, no thanks..  I have SSH access to my text drive acct..  I dunno why I didn't think of trying it from there
[01:21] <LjL> Flamekebab: so sorry
[01:21] <Jowi> rellik, no probs.
[01:21] <Flamekebab> it's just that a friend of mine tried to download it and found the site is down, I figured here would be an excellent place to find out whether Automatix is gone now, or whether it's just having hosting issues
[01:21] <poningru> Flamekebab: when it messes up people's updates and others dont seem to care the helpers here wont be either of those
[01:21] <eilker> i had some options to unrar to unzip files, when i do right click, now i lost them, how can i get it again ?
[01:21] <ubuntu> someone help me install grub/
[01:21] <ciscosurfer> gesus: did you see my message?
[01:21] <ciscosurfer> gesus: try here > http://www.go-evolution.org/Shell or here > http://linux.uta.edu/article.php?pid=5
[01:21] <noogymmij> ubuntu: sudo apt-get install grub
[01:22] <poningru> !rar | eilker
[01:22] <ubotu> eilker: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[01:22] <LjL> Flamekebab: it's an excellent place to find out you don't want it installed. now, end of discussion thanks. whatever goes on to the automatix website is none of #ubuntu
[01:22] <noogymmij> what are you trying to do? (RE)Install grub?
[01:22] <LjL> 's business
[01:22] <poningru> Flamekebab: what is your friend trying to install?
[01:22] <poningru> Flamekebab: friends dont let friends use automatix
[01:22] <Flamekebab> no, but as you're so anti-Automatix I figured that if it's gone, you'd know!
[01:22] <ubuntu> noggy, yes im trying to install grub, i installed vista and overwrote grub of course
[01:22] <Flamekebab> I use Automatix, not had any problems with it
[01:22] <noogymmij> Can someone help me with Totem
[01:22] <poningru> Flamekebab: you are bordering on trolling please dont flame people
[01:23] <ubuntu> i chroot into my linux system from live cd but i cant install grub
[01:23] <poningru> noogymmij: whatsup?
[01:23] <ardchoille> LjL: Thank you
[01:23] <ubuntu> noggy, i ran grub from chroot and set root (hd0,4), thats ok
[01:23] <poningru> lol
[01:23] <gesus> ciscosurfer, reading now, cheers
[01:23] <ciscosurfer> gesus, :-d
[01:23] <ubuntu> noggy, but when i do setup (hd0) it says cannot mount selected partition
[01:23] <gesus> ciscosurfer, ty :)
[01:24] <Flamekebab> great, cheers guys, thanks for being so nice and helpful. First time anyone in the Ubuntu community has treated me like this.
[01:24] <noogymmij> poningru: Totem crashes every time I try to watch my ruby-on-rails screencast- its rather large and it crashes every time :(
[01:24] <ciscosurfer> gesus: *bows* any time
[01:24] <eilker> poningru: i have rar and unrar packages installed
[01:24] <noogymmij> I have to boot windows to watch it
[01:24] <vaalth> hey, im having some trouble burning cds with cdrecord
[01:24] <jdhoreotg> I'm running Edgy and i want to upgrade my Nvidia drivers from the 8776 driver that comes in the repos to the latest stable 9xxx series driver...i have one question about this...if it happens to cause massive issues and things, how do i revert back to the old 8776 drivers
[01:24] <jdhoreotg> ?
[01:24] <LjL> Flamekebab: do you have an Ubuntu support question? if yes, ask, if not, other topics *do not belong here period*.
[01:24] <ubuntu> noogymmij, you have time to help?
[01:24] <poningru> noogymmij: try using mplayer or vlc
[01:24] <Flamekebab> You're making it seem like I've made some sort of offensive comment against your mothers or something
[01:25] <vaalth> whenever i insert the burned cd and try to install ubuntu it gets to the loading bar and locks up giving Buffer I/O errors
[01:25] <BrokenPipe> I've gotten apt into pretty bad shape, can someone work with me on figuring out how to fix up some errors I'm seeing?
[01:25] <eilker> poningru: my problem i lost them in right click, i have rar and unrar in system already
[01:25] <jacob_> chown: `qtss': invalid user
[01:25] <jacob_>  -----help meee
[01:25] <ciscosurfer> BrokenPipe: what are the errors?
[01:25] <jimmygoon> ubuntu: sorry -- ask me here... I'm using the other window to ask for help with totem and I'm offering help here... whats wrong ubuntu?
[01:25] <poningru> eilker: hmm ic
[01:25] <vaalth> sudo cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc speed=4 isoname.iso
[01:25] <noogymmij> poningru: vlc / mplayer crashes as well
[01:26] <omeil> Kustang: try setting the xorg.conf to vesa and see if it boots. if it boots its a video problem..after that i would suggest uninstalling the drivers then reinstalling
[01:26] <codecaine> jimmygoon, i installed vista and it over wrote my grub
[01:26] <noogymmij> and I stay away from mplayer for the most part now because one of my repos has a new version of mplayer that bits my pc :(
[01:26] <BrokenPipe> ciscosurfer: when trying to "fix broken packages" I get: E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[01:26] <vaalth> do i have to change any paramaters in order to burn ubuntu to a cd?
[01:26] <codecaine> jimmygoon, i am in my live cd now and need to reinstall
[01:26] <mad28> anyone can give me a hand?
[01:26] <mad28> i can't get ubuntu to recognize my raid0
[01:26] <mad28> so i can make it dual boot, on a third hdd
[01:26] <jimmygoon> codecaine: lemme look it up really fast
[01:26] <Math^> hello, im trying to copy from Xubuntu some files on a shared folder in WindowsXP, but how to do this?
[01:26] <jdhoreotg> ?
[01:26] <jdhoreotg> I'm running Edgy and i want to upgrade my Nvidia drivers from the 8776 driver that comes in the repos to the latest stable 9xxx series driver...i have one question about this...if it happens to cause massive issues and things, how do i revert back to the old 8776 drivers
[01:26] <jdhoreotg> ?
[01:26] <codecaine> jimmygoon, i've tried to issue grub command and get into shell to install but its not working...
[01:26] <ciscosurfer> BrokenPipe: short of giving you a slew of commands to issue in the Terminal, you might want to fire up Synaptic and try to fix issues that way
[01:26] <poningru> noogymmij: I am gonna goahead and guess its something wrong with your vid
[01:27] <BrokenPipe> ciscosurfer: that's where that message came from =)
[01:27] <vaalth> argh..
[01:27] <noogymmij> poningru: nah, it always happens with "large" videos... and it works perfectly in quicktime
[01:27] <Math^> how to connect on a shared folder from windows with samba?
[01:27] <ciscosurfer> BrokenPipe: oh.
[01:27] <poningru> wtf
[01:27] <raven3x7> poningru, hmm now  after shutting down the firwall from within firestarter and then removing firestarter sudo iptables -L gives me the folllowing error: " iptables -hICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 9364, errno = 0"
[01:27] <Flamekebab> LjL - there's three other people in the automatix channel, I wonder why I come to somewhere with people that actually know stuff? Because you guys have always been smart and helpful in the past!
[01:27] <BrokenPipe> ciscosurfer: I don't know how to troubleshoot this, but I'm comfortable with command line tinkering.
[01:27] <noogymmij> It is a very popular video-- too popular to be "messed up"
[01:27] <kid6> Can someone solve my grub ignorance.... Do I need a boot partition to install grub?
[01:28] <Jowi> kid6, you can install to MBR
[01:28] <mad28> anyone can give me a hand?
[01:28] <mad28> i can't get ubuntu to recognize my raid0
[01:28] <mad28> so i can make it dual boot, on a third hdd
[01:28] <codecaine> jimmygoon, i've tried this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/restore-debian-linux-grub-boot-loader.html
[01:28] <ciscosurfer> BrokenPipe: okay.  let me get right back to you.
[01:28] <jimmygoon> 2. Open a terminal window or switch to a tty.
[01:28] <jimmygoon> 3. Type "grub"
[01:28] <jimmygoon> 4. Type "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub).
[01:28] <jimmygoon> 5. Type "setup (hd0)", ot whatever your harddisk nr is.
[01:28] <jimmygoon> 6. Quit grub by typing "quit".
[01:28] <jimmygoon> 7. Reboot.
[01:28] <jimmygoon> ah... sorry :(
[01:29] <jimmygoon> codecaine: that was supposed to be in a PM to you :S
[01:29] <kid6> if windows is on my MBR... can I still use it?
[01:29] <kid6> will it overwrite it?
[01:30] <codecaine> jimmygoon, did that it tells me error 17: cannot mount selected partition after running setup
[01:30] <Jowi> kid6, grub will overwrite MBR. you will still be able to boot into windows.
[01:30] <jimmygoon> codecaine, you have to modify root (hd0,6) to your needs
[01:30] <axisys> anyone know how to find the grab and print the `date' command using java?
[01:30] <Evil_Ed> sup?
[01:30] <redblue`> hi
[01:30] <Bac9> when doing `ulimit -n 2048` I get "ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted", what can I do to change the limit?
[01:30] <NineTails> sup
[01:30] <redblue`> dunno
[01:30] <ciscosurfer> BrokenPipe: apt-get has a switch called --ignore-hold that you may find useful
[01:30] <codecaine> jimmygoon, i did
[01:30] <Evil_Ed> I'll think about it
[01:30] <jimmygoon> codecaine,  it will be different depending on which partition its on
[01:30] <NineTails> investigating
[01:30] <codecaine> jimmygoon, i used root (hd0,4)
[01:30] <jimmygoon> codecaine,  did you note that its like one less or something
[01:31] <jdhoreotg> I'm running Edgy and i want to upgrade my Nvidia drivers from the 8776 driver that comes in the repos to the latest stable 9xxx series driver...i have one question about this...if it happens to cause massive issues and things, how do i revert back to the old 8776 drivers
[01:31] <jimmygoon> so its really the 5th partition?
[01:31] <codecaine> jimmygoon, /dev/sda3            4818        4939      979965   82  Linux swap / Solaris
[01:31] <codecaine> /dev/sda4            4940        7113    17462655   83  Linux
[01:31] <jimmygoon> try (hd0,3)
[01:32] <Aruin> hello im a n00b to Linux and was wondering where i get the codexs for mp3 and dvd play back ?
[01:32] <Jowi> kid6, the only problem come if you re-install windows, since that will overwrite the MBR that grub was on with windows boot loader. then you will have to re-isntall grub again. but if you have win now, and install ubuntu, grub will see the win installation and add it to the boot menu.
[01:32] <codecaine> jimmygoon, that worked, how come, what did i miss?
[01:32] <jimmygoon> codecaine: grub is funny about partition numbering -- it starts at ZERO
[01:32] <kid6> I had ubuntu
[01:32] <kid6> then installed windows
[01:32] <codecaine> jimmygoon, ooooh :)
[01:32] <omeil> yea it would be hd0,3 since the drives start from 0
[01:32] <Jowi> kid6, (assuming win and linux are on the same disk)
[01:32] <kid6> now I am trying to get it back but I have the super grub disk
[01:32] <kid6> no live cd with me
[01:32] <jimmygoon> Aruin : check ubuntuguide.org -> search with your browser Ctrl+F
[01:32] <raven3x7> so does anyone know ho i open a port in ubuntu?
[01:33] <Jowi> !grub | kid6
[01:33] <codecaine> jimmygoon, thanks for time man, you rock
[01:33] <ubotu> kid6: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:33] <kid6> and I am trying to get it to rewite grub
[01:33] <jake_> guys when i try to play vcd on xine, audio codec needed, please help im a newbie
[01:33] <Aruin> thank you jimmygoon
[01:33] <jimmygoon> codecaine: no problem.. heh your username is funny ... my nickname is colecaine :P
[01:33] <billy> Can we Ubuntu users use most of the Firefox extensions available on their site?
[01:33] <kid6> it isn't working :\
[01:33] <codecaine> jimmygoon, haha funny :)
[01:33] <jdhoreotg> yes
[01:33] <kid6> I guess I need to reburn live cd
[01:33] <Jowi> kid6, read that link ubotu spat out. it includes the super grub disk
[01:33] <crdlb__> billy, yes
[01:33] <jimmygoon> billy: absolutely - there are only a very few specialty ones that don't work (IE Tab
[01:33] <omeil> jimmygoon: atleast its a number lol :D
[01:33] <ciscosurfer> billy: it's a matter of whether the extensions are compatible with Linux.  The answer is mostly yes
[01:33] <billy> crdlb__, jimmygoon: thank you.
[01:33] <George1> hey about installing windows i keep getting a error stop oxooooooo7b and what i would like to do is delete the partitions and start from scratch
[01:33] <jimmygoon> omeil: no kidding
[01:34] <omeil> firefox was released on linux first wasn't it?
[01:34] <xoba> dont think so
[01:34] <billy> ciscosurfer: I'm just looking for some security extensions.  For instance, JavaScript on a site-by-site basis.
[01:34] <kurt> neverwinter 2 ?
[01:34] <ciscosurfer> billy: try noscript
[01:34] <codecaine> booting into my linux, brb
[01:34] <jake_> help please
[01:34] <billy> Thanks ciscosurfer.
[01:34] <ciscosurfer> billy, :-D
[01:35] <George1> im not sure how to make a boot disk on ubuntu thou
[01:35] <xoba> is there anything similar to textmate for linux yet? if not im surprised
[01:35] <omeil> jimmygoon: would have been good if firefox was released on windows lol :) they would have to stick with old stinky explorer
[01:35] <noogymmij> George1, http://www.sysresccd.org/
[01:35] <omeil> kurt: ?
[01:35] <kurt> George1, a boot disk ?
[01:35] <kurt> why do you need to have a boot disk?
[01:35] <kurt> i figured just boot from the install/live cd ?
[01:36] <jimmygoon> xoba, jedit is better
[01:36] <danmorg> any suggestions where to buy a computer that will work with ubuntu good?   you can /msg me the reply if you want to.   my emachines does not work well, so i've decided to buy another computer.
[01:36] <jimmygoon> George1, download the iso - rightclick and burn to disc
[01:36] <ubuntuman> scan hasn't worked since edgy, and it still does not in HURD5..is there a workaround for this ? ( I have HP officejet 5510 all -in-one )
[01:36] <omeil> !port | raven3x7
[01:36] <ubotu> raven3x7: For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall
[01:36] <jimmygoon> George1, then you boot off of it and that sysresccd has about every utility you'll ever ever ever need
[01:36] <George1> yeah
[01:36] <billy> Are /tmp files deleted after reboot?
[01:37] <George1> thank you
[01:37] <kurt> cool jimmygoon
[01:37] <eilker> for newbies, free e-book http://ebookspyder.net/index.php/2007/03/03/ubuntu-linux-bible.html
[01:37] <jimmygoon> danmorg: anything but emachines :D
[01:37] <kurt> i had to do an alternate install for my laptop
[01:37] <Vaalth> is it possibly to upgrade from hoary to the latest version without burning a new install disk to cd?
[01:37] <jimmygoon> kurt: the sysresccd isn't a live disc... its a utility disc that has GUI apps but have to be launched via command lie
[01:37] <jimmygoon> line*
[01:37] <eilker> vaalth: they dont suggest it
[01:37] <kurt> i  like that jimmy
[01:37] <danmorg> jimmygoone: hhahaha.  yep.  it randomly shuts down.  i'm looking into dell, but i'm not sure what is a good choice
[01:37] <eilker> vaalth: they suggest one by one
[01:38] <jimmygoon> Vaalth: Alllll the way from hoary to edgy? :EEEK:
[01:38] <kurt> i was lookiong for that the other day
[01:38] <codecaine> jimmygoon, im on my system.  thanks again :)
[01:38] <kurt> i went from breezy (i think) 5.10 to 6.06
[01:38] <jimmygoon> Vaalth: you can... make sure package - ubuntu-desktop is installed - then update your sources.list file to include "edgy" instead of "hoary" then do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:38] <jimmygoon> codecaine: awesome
[01:38] <SunRayCafe> question on install: downloaded live disc, burned image, am running on machine. System doesn't seem to be able to handle install that way, it keeps hanging when I get to the formatting portion. Want to install via command line, but can't find information. Anyone have a link for command line installation help?
[01:38] <jimmygoon> !tell Vaalth about upgrading
[01:39] <lopelis`> whats the codecks do i need under default ubuntu install to paly avi mp3?
[01:39] <crdlb> SunRayCafe, you need the alternate cd
[01:39] <omeil> Does neverwinter nights 2 have a linux installer yet?
[01:39] <SunRayCafe> crdlb: available from ubuntu.com?
[01:39] <kurt> SunRayCafe,  download the alternate install cd
[01:39] <crdlb> SunRayCafe, yes
[01:39] <kurt> crdlb, not that i know of
[01:39] <jimmygoon> lopelis`, goto http://ubuntuguide.org and search in your browser (CTRL+F) to find it... it will include every codec you can imagine
[01:40] <kurt> crdlb,  how far you get so far?
[01:40] <lopelis`> jimmygoon, thanks
[01:40] <jimmygoon> .... Whoa... the alt cd is offical
[01:40] <jimmygoon> and definetly on the ubuntu.com website!!!
[01:40] <SunRayCafe> aaah, I don't have enough ram. Thanks guys, that should do it
[01:40] <needtoknow> How do I change the size of my partitions? Ubuntu wont let me login as root!!!
[01:40] <raven3x7> omeil, i though they werent going to make one?
[01:41] <crdlb> SunRayCafe, how much do you have?
[01:41] <SunRayCafe> guessing 128
[01:41] <jimmygoon> heh, you don
[01:41] <SunRayCafe> don't know off hand... can reboot and find out :)
[01:41] <jimmygoon> 't know?
[01:41] <SunRayCafe> it's not my primary machine
[01:41] <SunRayCafe> sandbox
[01:41] <crdlb> SunRayCafe, try xubuntu, but the livecd requires much more ram than the actual install
[01:41] <jimmygoon> that and/or try a memcheck
[01:41] <kurt> i hope they release one
[01:41] <jimmygoon> or DamnSmallLinux - it rocks!
[01:41] <kurt> then i dont have to boot windows
[01:41] <kurt> actually a question
[01:42] <needtoknow> How do I change the size of my partitions? Ubuntu wont let me login as root!!!
[01:42] <kurt> how do i install the nvidia drivers
[01:42] <needtoknow> ^^^ easy ubuntu
[01:42] <kurt> it keeps saying that its found an x session running
[01:42] <danmorg> jimmygoon: where did you buy your computer?
[01:42] <GionnyBoss> If I want to set Nautilus to open a certain type of file with another application, I can't do it. I see other applications but if I click on it I can't select them. I have this problem only on my laptop, other computers using ubuntu doesn't have this problem. Can anybody help me, please? I'm on Ubuntu Edgy, using GNOME, obviously
[01:42] <bronze_0_1> wow. scary.
[01:42] <harman> needtoknow, use sudo
[01:42] <SunRayCafe> hmmm... memtest says I have 192. Will try the alternate anyway, since this isn't working
[01:42] <omeil> raven3x7: try !firewall it should tell you everything about ubuntu firewall
[01:42] <crdlb> SunRayCafe, 192 is enough for ubuntu (but not the livecd)
[01:42] <kurt> how do i boot to command line not to gui / x
[01:43] <kurt> ?
[01:43] <lopelis`> one more: how to get kismet with intel ipw2200 card wirking monitore mode
[01:43] <jimmygoon> danmorg: I bought this piece of ... hardware about 2-3 years ago at Office Depot... it's held up well and I got a a free warranty extenstion (totally like 3 years) because Toshiba had a class action lawsuit
[01:43] <jimmygoon> lopelis`, how far are you with kismet?
[01:43] <kurt> toshiba's last forever
[01:43] <kurt> i have 2 left from 2001
[01:43] <lopelis`> jimmygoon: i'm noob
[01:43] <needtoknow> Not nice^^^
[01:43] <lopelis`> does intell support kismet
[01:43] <kurt> the third i had got dropped, smashed actually
[01:44] <kid6> so if my MBR is windows version I just tell grub to over write it?
[01:44] <nalioth> kid6: Windows doesn't use an MBR
[01:44] <jimmygoon> lopelis`, heh, okay. well you need to configure your /etc/kismet/kismet.conf file (specifically the line with source="" to work with your card
[01:44] <jimmygoon> nalioth: yes it does... it overwrites it so that it loads up XP/Vista/NTLDR
[01:44] <crdlb> kid6, grub will add windows to itself, so basically yes
[01:44] <ardchoille> !sudo | needtoknow
[01:44] <ubotu> needtoknow: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:44] <lopelis`> jimmygoon: any forum forum page for that :)
[01:45] <kid6> The instructions for "Using the Desktop/LiveCD and Overwriting the Windows bootloader" say to use the boot partition... but I don't have one
[01:45] <ciscosurfer> With TabMixPlus, is there a way to get the drop-down menu that appears on the far right to appear again, when multiple tabs are open?
[01:45] <jimmygoon> lopelis`, I really dunna
[01:45] <billy> ciscosurfer: any other recommended add-ons? :)
[01:45] <ardchoille> needtoknow: You can install gparted and use that to resize partitions
[01:45] <needtoknow> Thanks
[01:45] <kid6> sorry I am prolly sounding like an idiot... I just have no experince
[01:45] <nalioth> jimmygoon: we're getting into ##windows territory
[01:45] <jimmygoon> kid6 : are you tring to repair grub by reinstalling?
[01:45] <kid6> yes
[01:45] <lopelis`> jimmygoon : ok, thanks
[01:45] <ciscosurfer> billy: I use a few...what are you looking for?
[01:45] <jimmygoon> nalioth, heh :D
[01:45] <omeil> kurt: have you rebooted yet?
[01:45] <jimmygoon> because I just helped someone do that about 5-10 minutes ago
[01:45] <jimmygoon> lemme scroll up and paste it to you
[01:45] <kid6> ok
[01:45] <raven3x7> omeil, i was talking about Neverwinter Nights 2
[01:45] <kid6> let me scroll up
[01:46] <kid6> it was when you meant to pm?
[01:46] <billy> ciscosurfer:  basic security type things.  or anything that you yourself find interesting. :)
[01:46] <jimmygoon> yes kid6 :P
[01:46] <jimmygoon> did you try it?
[01:46] <TravisivarT> i'm trying to set up dual head with nvidia and twinview, but the screens are backwards (ie the right one shows the left screen)  here's my xorg.conf http://rafb.net/p/Spjp0U39.html
[01:46] <jimmygoon> billy: I use the webdeveloper plugin (wonder why) and I use the del.icio.us plugin
[01:46] <NewbieUser00001> !ntfs-3g
[01:46] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[01:47] <crdlb> TravisivarT, why not rearrange the monitors?
[01:47] <kid6> wtf... fdisk -l is showing me only HPFS/NTFS partitons
[01:47] <jimmygoon> I don't think that ntfs-3g is beta anymore is it?
[01:47] <TravisivarT> it's a dual boot with windows and the windows monitors are oriented correctly
[01:47] <jimmygoon> kid6: run it with sudo
[01:47] <Jowi> TravisivarT, in the section serverlayout set screen 0 and screen 1 and vice versa maybe...?
[01:48] <kid6> hrmm smae
[01:48] <raven3x7> jimmygoon, i think it isnt on 2.6.20 kernels
[01:48] <kid6> same
[01:48] <Anohaakten> hey can i get some help with installing beryl on ubuntu?
[01:48] <jimmygoon> raven3x7, ok
[01:48] <Anohaakten> like...how do I find it in synaptic
[01:48] <ciscosurfer> billy: I don't use it anymore, but Adblock Plus is a good one....I also really like Bookmark Duplicate Detector, CustomizeGoogle, GoolgePreview, UbuntuForumsMenu, and some others
[01:48] <kid6> does that mean somehow I deleted my linux partition?
[01:48] <Limecat|SLEEP> anohaakten--are you semi comfortable with commandline?
[01:48] <omeil> raven3x7: oh :) haven't got that yet. u need to forward ports for it?
[01:48] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, you have to enable the repositories
[01:48] <Anohaakten> oryeah
[01:48] <Jowi> TravisivarT, typos. I meant, set screen 0 to screen 1 and vice versa
[01:48] <Anohaakten> ok
[01:48] <Limecat|SLEEP> one sec
[01:49] <Limecat|SLEEP> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263851
[01:49] <jimmygoon> !tell Anohaakten about repositories
[01:49] <billy> ciscosurfer:  thanks.  I'll check those out.  :))
[01:49] <TravisivarT> Jowi i'll try it thanks
[01:49] <Limecat|SLEEP> u have a question regarding file icons
[01:49] <Limecat|SLEEP> i*
[01:49] <raven3x7> raven3x7, :D robably but what i meant was that i heard they werent goint to make a linux client
[01:49] <Limecat|SLEEP> namely, how do i change them
[01:49] <kid6> f it.. just going to reinstall ubuntu :)
[01:49] <Limecat|SLEEP> where does the icon come from
[01:49] <ciscosurfer> billy: sure!
[01:49] <crdlb> Limecat|SLEEP, change the icon theme
[01:49] <raven3x7> jimmygoon, don take my word for it though
[01:49] <Jowi> TravisivarT, or do it in section device for the card(s)
[01:49] <yomm_> e home samba/file/
[01:50] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, are you ok with beryl-svn? Its more bleeding edge - more features, less stable
[01:50] <jimmygoon> raven3x7, its okay, I'm not too stressed about it ;)
[01:50] <crdlb> Limecat|SLEEP, icon themes are stored in /usr/share/icons/THEME/
[01:50] <yomm_> Would encrypting my root file system be a wise decision for my humble home samba/file/streaming server ?
[01:50] <raven3x7> jimmygoon,, :D robably but what i meant was that i heard they werent goint to make a linux client
[01:50] <jimmygoon> what do you mean a linux client?
[01:50] <crdlb> yomm_, I wouldn't
[01:50] <raven3x7> lol im talkin to myself on irc
[01:50] <jimmygoon> isn't ntfs-3g ... for linux.....
[01:51] <kurt> jimmygoon, i think its considered to be stable ... mostly
[01:51] <crdlb> yomm_, unless you're worried about someone breaking into your house for your data
[01:51] <jimmygoon> kurt: not the SVN releases...
[01:51] <jimmygoon> not AS stable as the regular beryl releases
[01:51] <yomm_> crdlb : why not , for performance reasons ? from what i've Read it does add a lot of security to your system
[01:51] <jimmygoon> Anohaak
[01:51] <kurt> raven3x7, you mean linux client for nwn2 right?
[01:51] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, what graphics card do you have?
[01:51] <eilker> !x11vnc
[01:51] <ubotu> x11vnc: VNC server which uses your current X11 session. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.2-1 (edgy), package size 438 kB, installed size 1104 kB
[01:51] <raven3x7> err jimmygoon that was meant at someone else
[01:52] <Limecat|SLEEP> oops
[01:52] <raven3x7> kurt yeah
[01:52] <jimmygoon> raven3x7, heh, my bad :P
[01:52] <kurt> jimmygoon, i saw some atricle saying how to write to ntfs and it seemed pretty sure about it
[01:52] <yomm_> crdlb : well ,the server is online 24/7 ..
[01:52] <cantervil> hello, someone can helpme with apollon???
[01:52] <raven3x7> jimmygoon, no mine actually. i need sleep
[01:52] <crdlb> yomm_, the idea just scares me, make sure that whatever method you pursue keeps the blocks independent
[01:52] <kurt> i wish they would raven3x7  but i saw where they didnt intend to
[01:52] <jimmygoon> eilker: you can just enable remote desktop with gnome too.... System->Preferences-> remote desktop
[01:52] <kurt> raven3x7,  but will securerom work under linux
[01:52] <raven3x7> omeil, , :D robably but what i meant was that i heard they werent goint to make a linux client
[01:52] <FLSimpsonKPT> is there a way to burn a dvd iso with ubuntu?
[01:53] <jimmygoon> kurt: oh sorry, I'm getting mixed between a convo about beryl(-svn) and ntfs-3g we were referring to diff things
[01:53] <yomm_> crldb : i'll do a ffull disk clone just to be sure :)
[01:53] <eilker> jimmygoon> kde here :)

[01:53] <Anohaakten> uhm
[01:54] <jimmygoon> kurt, something to do with a single option you append to the kernel line with grub?
[01:54] <Anohaakten> deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main
[01:54] <Anohaakten> that one
[01:54] <kurt> i loved nwn  so i had to buy nwn2
[01:54] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, lemme find the key for you
[01:54] <Anohaakten> ok
[01:54] <kurt> even bought a video card to play it to replace my three year old
[01:54] <raven3x7> Anohaakten, if your following the wiki article those addresses for the gpg keys are outdated
[01:54] <Anohaakten> yeah ok, just pm me, and tell me where I put the key
[01:54] <LordLimecat> crdlb--im actually trying to find out where this "world of warcraft.lnk" is getting its icon
[01:54] <Anohaakten> how do oyu enter a key?
[01:55] <FLSimpsonKPT> is it possible to burn an iso image onto a dvd or cd with ubuntu? if so how?
[01:55] <LordLimecat> is linux grabbing an icon from a windows exe? *confused*
[01:55] <raven3x7> kurt ouch
[01:55] <kurt> FLSimpsonKPT, of course it is
[01:55] <Beverage> Im trying to install  a DC++ hub on my linux server for an upcomming LAN party I was wondering how i start the server after I install it
[01:55] <Bac9> when doing `ulimit -n 2048` I get "ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted", what can I do to change the limit?
[01:55] <LordLimecat> or is wow supplying the icon somewhere
[01:55] <eilker> anyone makes with me remote desktop connection ? i wonder it...
[01:55] <LordLimecat> er, wine
[01:55] <FLSimpsonKPT> kurt, i suppose I don't have the proper package :P
[01:55] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, the stuff I just sent you might be wrong though based off what raven3x7 just said... :S
[01:55] <LordLimecat> eilker--you want me to test your remote desktop?
[01:55] <kurt> you should FLSimpsonKPT  if you did a default install
[01:56] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, raven3x7 I'm not as familiar with beryl-official... I'm a beryl-svn kinda guy
[01:56] <kurt> msut be there somewhere
[01:56] <Anohaakten> hmm
[01:56] <FLSimpsonKPT> kurt, what's the name of the program?
[01:56] <jimmygoon> FLSimpsonKPT, Right click-> burn to disc
[01:56] <Anohaakten> can someone help me on installing beryl then?
[01:56] <kurt> FLSimpsonKPT, under places you should see CD/DVD Creator
[01:56] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten,  like I said, its not fatal... it will continue with out it
[01:56] <Grenade> hey does anyone else have AD1986A for their sound??????
[01:56] <kurt> I think I used that
[01:56] <crdlb> LordLimecat, have you tried opening the icon in gedit?
[01:56] <ClarKent> Could not render default GStreamer audio output sink
[01:56] <LordLimecat> ill try that
[01:56] <jimmygoon> FLSimpsonKPT, Right click-> burn to disc!
[01:56] <ClarKent> i get that error when I run muine
[01:56] <FLSimpsonKPT> lol thanks jimmygoon and kurt I feel like an idiot now XD
[01:56] <jimmygoon> its okay :P
[01:56] <crdlb> LordLimecat, it may be a .desktop file generated by wine
[01:57] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, I was asking before--- Do you want a more stable version or one with more features?
[01:57] <needtoknow> How would I make myself root using sudo?
[01:57] <LordLimecat> but the actual icon must exist somewhere on my comp
[01:57] <kurt> FLSimpsonKPT,  I feel like an idiot a hundred times a day.. no biggie
[01:57] <jessd> needtoknow sudo su -
[01:57] <crdlb> needtoknow, sudo -i
[01:57] <eilker> LordLimecat: yes pls,  i wanna see how i can control your desktop, if u want, u do it too
[01:57] <raven3x7> jimmygoon, i meant the links to the gpg server. if you got the key its fine
[01:57] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten,  more importantly ... waht graphics card do you have
[01:57] <jimmygoon> raven3x7, oh... ok
[01:57] <raven3x7> jimmygoon, the wiki is fine otherwise

[01:58] <jimmygoon> FLSimpsonKPT, its okay :P We won't hate you
[01:58] <kurt> I want to try that Brazilian Dreamlinux
[01:58] <Anohaakten> im fine
[01:58] <Anohaakten> I checked
[01:58] <Anohaakten> and mine is fine
[01:58] <[GneSH0r] > can i get help with samba?
[01:58] <kurt> I used to be a suse fan but 10.1 broke me
[01:58] <Grenade> i am having troubles installin the alsa sound for AD1986A
[01:58] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, just tell me :P I need to know whether you need AIGLX or XGL
[01:58] <Anohaakten> my graphics card supports graphic rendering
[01:58] <jimmygoon> Is it ATI or NVIDIA or INTEL?
[01:58] <Anohaakten> and thats it
[01:58] <crdlb> [GneSH0r] , depends on how complex your question is :)
[01:58] <Anohaakten> I checked
[01:58] <FLSimpsonKPT> jimmygoon, good. Its supposed to have native beryl support and I am really confused on trying to make it work with 6.06
[01:58] <Anohaakten> intel
[01:58] <Anohaakten> 855gm
[01:58] <jimmygoon> ok- good!
[01:59] <jimmygoon> just like me!!
[01:59] <Anohaakten> alright
[01:59] <jessd> Anohaakten: What samba help are you looking for?
[01:59] <LordLimecat> eilker: open applications-->internet-->terminal services client
[01:59] <needtoknow> How would I run QTparted( a system tool) with sudo?
[01:59] <LordLimecat> host: limecat.homelinux.com
[01:59] <FLSimpsonKPT> jimmygoon, I should of gotten the newest version of ubuntu instead *slaps Head*
[01:59] <LordLimecat> no username, no pass
[01:59] <LordLimecat> no control is granted either
[01:59] <SunRayCafe> [GneSH0r]  is looking for samba help
[01:59] <jimmygoon> FLSimpsonKPT, Anohaakten you are both trying to work with beryl and stuff so you may both benefit from this bit here ---
[01:59] <[GneSH0r] > basically im new to linux
[01:59] <jessd> SunrayCafe: TY
[01:59] <[GneSH0r] > im using ubuntu 6.10
[01:59] <Anohaakten> jimmygoon whatcha got bud?
[01:59] <Anohaakten> cna ya help me?
[01:59] <eilker> LordLimecat: i am kubuntu user
[01:59] <Zambezi> Isn't Edgy Eft server-CD bootable?
[02:00] <[GneSH0r] > and i wanna get files off my windows xp computer
[02:00] <jessd> [GneSH0r] : What are you lookin for for Samba?
[02:00] <needtoknow> Yah it is
[02:00] <kurt> I need to get Nvidia driver installed to run Beryl?
[02:00] <LordLimecat> in terminal: vncviewer limecat.homelinux.com:0
[02:00] <needtoknow> How would I run QTparted( a system tool) with sudo?
[02:00] <[GneSH0r] > and somone said in beryl to ask in here for samba
[02:00] <jimmygoon> Two things: one if you want to install beryl-stable then you should add the repository that you found on the wiki, then you should do "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install beryl beryl-plugins emerald"
[02:00] <Grenade> Need Help: i am having troubles installin the alsa sound for AD1986A
[02:00] <kurt> waht you need about samba ?
[02:00] <needtoknow> How would I run QTparted( a system tool) with sudo?
[02:01] <jessd> [GneSH0r] : You can do it two ways
[02:01] <crdlb> [GneSH0r] , do you see the windows computer if you open: Places->Network->windows network ?
[02:01] <jimmygoon> If you want to run beryl-svn like I am, then you add the trevino beryl-syn repository (google) and his GPG key and then you do the same "sudo apt-get " bit
[02:01] <Anohaakten> jimmygoon, can you pm me with the exact repository line on wiki?
[02:01] <jessd> You can set a samba share and use the XP machine to push to Linux
[02:01] <Anohaakten> just to be sure im doing things correctly
[02:01] <jimmygoon> anohaakten, do you want beryl-svn or beryl-stable?
[02:01] <Anohaakten> does not matter
[02:01] <Anohaakten> I want it to run
[02:01] <Anohaakten> first
[02:01] <Anohaakten> then later upgrade
[02:01] <jessd> [GneSH0r] : Or you can use smbmount to mount the windows share and copy to linux from linux
[02:01] <Anohaakten> if I cna do that
[02:01] <FLSimpsonKPT> jimmygoon, what is a good version of ubuntu that runs with beryl? Stable of course
[02:02] <Anohaakten> 6.10 simpson
[02:02] <crdlb> FLSimpsonKPT, edgy
[02:02] <Beverage> How do i check to see if a program that runs in the background is running or not?
[02:02] <Anohaakten> the newest one...
[02:02] <needtoknow> How would I run QTparted( a system tool) as root?
[02:02] <jessd> [GneSH0r] : Setting a samba share in Ubuntu is prolly easier
[02:02] <eilker> LordLimecat: i am downloading vncviewer
[02:02] <kenv> Hello.  I am new to this OS and have been trying to work with it for a little while.  Could someone point me in the right direction to move files from one Ubuntu system to another?
[02:02] <FLSimpsonKPT> thanks crdlb
[02:02] <jimmygoon> FLSimpsonKPT, I alwys run the latest ubuntu - not feisty sinces it not released yet but otherwise...
[02:02] <jimmygoon> 6.10/edgy

[02:02] <Anohaakten> jimmy goon
[02:02] <kurt> i'm running feisty
[02:02] <kurt> seems to be pretty good
[02:02] <jessd> [GneSH0r] : Try System > Preferences > Shared folders
[02:02] <Anohaakten> can you pm me with what the repos is
[02:02] <needtoknow> To move files try using "wine"
[02:02] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, yeah, sorry I'm trying to tripletask :P
[02:03] <likwidtek> hey guys.. I have an NVIDIA 7950 GX2 and I want to install Beryl.. Where do you suggest I start?
[02:03] <likwidtek> XGL or AIXGL
[02:03] <jessd> needtoknow: Tried gksu QTparted ?
[02:03] <Anohaakten> alright
[02:03] <needtoknow> How would I run QTparted( a system tool) with root priv.. ?  I tryed sudo but it's noy working
[02:03] <Beverage> i installed a program that runs in the background (daemon) but i dont know if its running
[02:03] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten,  you know where to add that line and everything right?
[02:04] <[GneSH0r] > yeh i can see it
[02:04] <[GneSH0r] > on the list
[02:04] <jimmygoon> needtoknow, what do you mean its not working
[02:04] <rbil> likwidtek: if you're running edgy, AIGLX is already installed
[02:04] <crdlb> likwidtek, AIGLX if you're willing to install the 9xxx version driver
[02:04] <jimmygoon> its not the right program name or what/
[02:04] <needtoknow> I dont know how to install the gksu gparted
[02:04] <kenv> I do not have shared folders in system and preferneces.  Is there a site  I could read up on this?
[02:04] <Anohaakten> yes
[02:04] <Anohaakten> irght in synaptic
[02:04] <Anohaakten> under repos
[02:04] <jessd> [GneSH0r] : sudo apt-get install gksu
[02:04] <Anohaakten> and then custom
[02:04] <[GneSH0r] > ok
[02:04] <kurt> sigh wine updated to 9.3.2
[02:04] <kurt> still wont run peachtree
[02:04] <LordLimecat> eilker: you see it?
[02:04] <jimmygoon> what is peachtree?
[02:04] <needtoknow> Now none of my programs start since I started taking sudo commands from you guys
[02:05] <kurt> time to boot to the old gaming os
[02:05] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, thats fine ... I always do it by hand but its the same thing
[02:05] <eilker> LordLimecat: i cant
[02:05] <Anohaakten> ok
[02:05] <[GneSH0r] > its already the newest version
[02:05] <[GneSH0r] > jessd
[02:05] <kurt> thanks all for the chat and some advice too
[02:05] <jessd> needtoknow: Try this : export DISPLAY=:0.0
[02:05] <eilker> LordLimecat: trying to install some packages
[02:05] <LordLimecat> try now'
[02:05] <Anohaakten> so what exactly is the repos that I need to type in
[02:05] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, so now you can just do an "update" in synaptic and then search for beryl... and you should find it!!
[02:05] <needtoknow> EXCEPT QTparted wich keeps telling me I dont have priv... to run it
[02:05] <LordLimecat> i saw your request
[02:05] <LordLimecat> try again
[02:05] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, I PM'ed them to you :D
[02:05] <Anohaakten> i never added any repos.. though
[02:05] <Anohaakten> I didnt get it...
[02:05] <Anohaakten> I have on pm's
[02:05] <jimmygoon> lemme just paste it here
[02:05] <Anohaakten> k
[02:05] <jimmygoon> deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ edgy main
[02:05] <needtoknow> jessd told me to run the command " export DISPLAY=:0.0" Is that safe?
[02:06] <jimmygoon> deb-src http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main
[02:06] <jimmygoon> add both of them
[02:06] <billy> I'm on the phone with my ISP.  They don't know how to release the IP address for a Linux system.  Any help?
[02:06] <[GneSH0r] > how do you look at the cube display
[02:06] <[GneSH0r] > when youve installed beryl?
[02:06] <eilker> LordLimecat: black screen comes and goes
[02:06] <needtoknow>  export DISPLAY=:0.0 <-- Is that safe I may be a noob but I think this is bad.///
[02:06] <chavo> needtoknow, he's trying to hax0r you
[02:06] <needtoknow> Not hack
[02:06] <needtoknow> I think he is trying to mess up my diplay
[02:07] <FLSimpsonKPT> jimmygoon, I will try ubuntu again after i mess with other distro for a bit :D
[02:07] <jvai> billy, tell them to do it as if it was a mac
[02:07] <bimberi> [GneSH0r] : hold down ctrl-alt and move the mouse
[02:07] <[GneSH0r] > thanks
[02:07] <jimmygoon> FLSimpsonKPT, heh, I do the same things
[02:07] <chavo> needtoknow, export sets environment variables
[02:07] <JasonDM> ok, so I have a second monitor, but I don't know how to get it to work
[02:07] <Karark|away> can someone tell me the program KDE uses to set default program prefs?
[02:07] <eilker> LordLimecat: sudo svncviewer "and the adress that u have gave me"
[02:07] <Karark|away> i don't want to leave Gnome to change a setting
[02:07] <[GneSH0r] > brilliant..
[02:07] <jessd> needtoknow: If you did a su to root and took root's environment, you may have lost the environment variable that tells the system where X is
[02:07] <billy> jvai: OK.  I'll try that.
[02:07] <[GneSH0r] > how do you change the background?
[02:07] <JasonDM> also, beryl doesn't want to run, at all...
[02:07] <chavo> Karark|away, you have kubuntu-desktop installed?
[02:07] <FLSimpsonKPT> jimmygoon, its hard not to isnt it? :D
[02:07] <Anohaakten> ok
[02:07] <billy> jvai: thanks for the response, also.
[02:07] <jvai> yes billy, it's kinda the same thing....
[02:07] <Anohaakten> added jimmygoon
[02:07] <Karark|away> chavo, yes
[02:08] <jvai> np @billy

[02:08] <Karark|away> chavo, i want my Boinc Manager to stop opening konqueror every time i click a button in there
[02:08] <cyphase> Is it possible to tell an SSH connection to keep-alive from the client side?
[02:08] <jessd> needtoknow: that command sets the environment value back, so when root tries to run a command that needs a GUI, the system knows where that is
[02:08] <Anohaakten> do you mean reload?
[02:08] <bimberi> [GneSH0r] : that (change the background) I don't know
[02:08] <needtoknow>  export DISPLAY=:0.0  ,  so export is a variable but then it says display so it move's my screen.... to o.o the first pixal
[02:08] <Karark|away> chavo, thanks
[02:09] <Anohaakten> jimmygoon, do you mean "reload"
[02:09] <jessd> needtoknow: No
[02:09] <Anohaakten> is that the same as refresh
[02:09] <chavo> needtoknow, DISPLAY is the variable
[02:09] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, sure... I don't have it open here P
[02:09] <jimmygoon> :P

[02:12] <ericmoritz\0> I'm looking at the slick Motorola Q, I was wondering how well Ubuntu (or linux in general) syncing with Windows Mobile is
[02:13] <c0nv1ct> needtoknow: tried sudo?
[02:13] <GoldeNArX> sup guys. got me intel 3945abg working (finally).  now I try to get automatix installed and the web site is down... anyone know of an alternate method?
[02:13] <billy> jvai: hey.  we aren't able to do it like a mac.  any other ideas?
[02:13] <FLSimpsonKPT> well im gonna try the new os bbl
[02:13] <jimmygoon> needtoknow: that command "EXPORT" was safe
[02:13] <ericmoritz\0> I have a Treo and syncing with a palm is flawless, somehow I doubt windows mobile is as easy
[02:13] <jvai> billy is it broadband, or dial up?
[02:14] <billy> jvai: broadband.
[02:14] <LjL> GoldeNArX: yes - doing whatever you intended to do with Automatix using sane means instead
[02:14] <rbil> needtoknow EXPORTED himself out of the channel
[02:14] <jvai> biully it should be as easy as them configuring the modem on their end, that's all
[02:15] <GoldeNArX> LjL : lol... sane methods? automatix kinda automates the whole thing .. no?
[02:15] <BrokenPipe> wtf is wrong with pastebin.com? what's another scratchpad site?

[02:25] <LordLimecat> a LOT of the time, you can release it by unplugging yer modem for 10-20 secs
[02:25] <bruenig> SARA, you can drag and drop from nautilus
[02:25] <SARA> i dont know...
[02:26] <LordLimecat> im SURE youd reset ip if it was off for longer
[02:26] <jvai> billy ask them how can u help thru your browser.. i think that's the way, it has to resolve the dns
[02:26] <SARA> im using gnomebaker
[02:26] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, same as it is here :D
[02:26] <Anohaakten> k
