[03:14] <thomas> mjr i wouldn't expect any operating system to function correctly after changing motherboards... doesn't work like that. Ubuntu loads drivers depending whats on your motherboard, and switching it up probably messes it up.
[03:14] <thomas> so i think KuLover needs to do a fresh install.
[03:15] <javiolo> Im trying to build freenx from sources but I get an error http://pastebin.ca/68755
[03:15] <Yonda> Is there an easy way to use X over SSH?
[03:15] <kaptengu> If anyone in here is a part of the team developing Ubuntu...I just want to say you are doing a great job! I just switched from Windows to Ubuntu, and now my computer seems much happier.
[03:16] <kaptengu> I love it.
[03:16] <thomas> i'm happy for you ;)
[03:16] <vanberge> anybody here use azureus?
[03:16] <thomas> !anybody
[03:16] <thomas> ....
[03:16] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:17] <planetcall> goodmorning everyone
[03:17] <thomas> good evening ;D
[03:17] <bioticpro> thomas: lol, I like that, ok, I will ask next question... what models of the Nvidia 6200 are unlockable (from 4 to 8 pixel pipeline)?
[03:17] <vanberge> 'anyone' in this current channel utilize 'azureus' to download torrents - and have trouble with it workign correctly??
[03:18] <javiolo> Im trying to build freenx from sources but I get an error http://pastebin.ca/68755
[03:18] <runes> Sanne, g/f just came home with 200$ of groceries I need to put em away brb
[03:18] <javiolo> vanberge I had azureus installed but didnt work properly...
[03:18] <vanberge> error messages pop up and won't close, program wont exit correclty. etc.
[03:18] <bioticpro> Also, which is a good model in general out of these? http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductCompare.asp?SubCategory=48&CompareItemList=N82E16814127203%2CN82E16814130014%2CN82E16814133149%2CN82E16814164056
[03:18] <Sanne> runes, I need to go soonish...
[03:18] <vanberge> javiolo: that is my experience  :-(
[03:18] <thomas> vanberge do you have java installed? azereus runs on java.
[03:19] <imc_>  Printing trouble with Linksys print server, help?
[03:19] <buzzed> how do i set an evnvironment variable
[03:19] <javiolo> vanberge I use the client that comes with gnome...
[03:20] <imc_> Printer (samsung 1710) works fine when plugged into USB but linksys can't seem to talk to it
[03:20] <DBO> buzzed, variable=value
[03:20] <DBO> buzzed, if another command you run needs to use that variable, use the command export variable=value
[03:20] <javiolo> vanberge or try bittornado
[03:20] <vanberge> javiolo: tyvm...  :-)
[03:20] <thomas> vanberge... or install java.
[03:20] <thomas> if you really are counting on azereus.
[03:21] <Yonda> How can I run X with SSH?
[03:21] <vanberge> sun java?
[03:21] <thomas> vanberge yeah.
[03:21] <javiolo> yonda ssh -X
[03:21] <tritium> Yonda: ssh -X
[03:21] <thomas> psych...
[03:21] <tritium> vanberge: yes, sun java packages are in dapper multiverse
[03:21] <RadiantFire> you ocould even mix it up and use ssh -Y
[03:21] <javiolo> Im trying to build freenx from sources but I get an error http://pastebin.ca/68755
[03:21] <smtkr> thomas: I had the question about Serpentine not burning mp3s anymore. It turns out that on my breezy install I was using gstreamer0.8-lame. For dapper, I needed to install a package called gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3. I guess serpentine is using the newer version that can't utilize the .8 plugins. Thanks for the help.
[03:21] <RadiantFire> which actually work
[03:22] <thomas> smtkr no probs :D
[03:22] <Yonda> thanks
[03:23] <vanberge> thomas: there are like 10 sun java packages!  what one do i need?  :-(
[03:23] <DBO> -jre
[03:23] <tritium> vanberge: most likely you want the jre
[03:23] <thomas> !java
[03:23] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java
[03:23] <thomas> boink :D
[03:24] <javiolo> any help compiling an app ?
[03:24] <DBO> ./configure, then make, then sudo checkinstall
[03:24] <vanberge> thomas: tyvm...
[03:24] <DShepherd> my <Control><Alt>F* keys dont switch between terminals. How can i fix this?
[03:24] <thomas> javiolo do you have build-essential installed?
[03:25] <javiolo> thomas yes
[03:25] <DBO> DShepherd, have you checked in xev to see which key(s) are not being picked up right?
[03:25] <thomas> well than DBO has said everything you need.
[03:25] <javiolo> thomas this is the prob http://pastebin.ca/68755
[03:25] <KuLover> mjr, I took all other hard drives off, and when it goes to boot now after loading everything, it just goes back to the loading screen and hangs. ANy ideas?
[03:25] <DShepherd> DBO: nope.. let me do that now.. are you the same person :-D?
[03:25] <KoDfish> Hello!
[03:26] <DShepherd> hi
[03:26] <thomas> KuLover i think you need to do a fresh install. Use the live-cd to back up all of your stuff
[03:26] <bioticpro> Hi all, what is a good irc for nvidia card related questions?
[03:26] <DBO> DShepherd, ive never met you in my life, that handsome helpful guy in #ubuntu-xgl is in no way me...  nope, but he sure is handsome, tell you female friends that
[03:26] <dick-richardson> Anyone know a good repository to get libc6 v.2.3.6-6 or better?
[03:26] <KuLover> Thomas, Thank you.. will do.
[03:26] <DShepherd> DBO: :-)
[03:27] <thomas> javiolo i'm sorry i don't speak spanish or portugese, what ever language you're packing
[03:27] <thomas> could you translate the last line?
[03:27] <javiolo> thomas its Spanish,
[03:27] <DBO> !es
[03:27] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[03:27] <thomas> like theres many people in there to help out....
[03:27] <javiolo> thomas descargados its downloaded
[03:27] <KoDfish> ok, heres the question... i think i want to switch to either ubuntu or xubuntu... what would you recomend? (i have some basic linux experiance, so i'm not a total n00b.)
[03:27] <javiolo> dbo np
[03:28] <DShepherd> DBO: they seem to work fine
[03:28] <DBO> javiolo, i was just letting you know ;-)
[03:28] <thomas> KoDfish install ubuntu, you can install Xfce from inside ubuntu and use both that way.
[03:28] <DBO> you speak fine english, but if your errors are in spanish it might be easier for you
[03:28] <dick-richardson> KoDfish: i'd go w/ubuntu...most support you find will be gnome specific
[03:28] <KoDfish> really? sounds neat.
[03:28] <thomas> yeah
[03:28] <thomas> sorry javiolo
[03:28] <KoDfish> i will be back after my install,.
[03:29] <javiolo> dbo the problem is that es channels are dead, its too late here :P
[03:29] <DBO> javiolo, eh, its even later here
[03:29] <thomas> k javiolo, does it install with a .deb, or is it a source package?
[03:29] <javiolo> thomas latest line construction order failed... child process failed
[03:29] <thomas> thats not good...
[03:30] <thomas> javiolo, if you can find a .deb for the program you are trying to install, it will make your life much easier trust me
[03:30] <theBishop> how many people are using Xgl/AiGLX regularly?
[03:30] <Sanne> Please, anybody, I need to go now, if runes comes back and asks for me, please point him to: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16244
[03:30] <javiolo> thomas thats the problem, they arent deb for ppc of that app...
[03:30] <thomas> theBishop i've been using Xgl for a month now
[03:30] <tritium> thomas: use checkinstall to make a .deb, if the package is not in the repos
[03:31] <thomas> javiolo, find a source tarball then okay?
[03:31] <Nosliw> how does ubuntu play with vmware?
[03:31] <DBO> theBishop, i use it too
[03:31] <tritium> Nosliw: there is a vmware-player package in the repos
[03:31] <keithhhhh> Hello does anyone know how to install a Hauppauge USB2 TV tuner?
[03:31] <javiolo> thomas Ive done this: apt-get -b source nx freenx
[03:31] <thomas> Nosliw, check out qemu with kqemu.
[03:32] <Nosliw> thx thomas
[03:32] <yoshiznit123> hi everyone, i've been getting occasional hard lockups (keyboard and mouse don't work, ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work, nothing but cold reboot) and I was wondering if it was a kernel panic. i looked at syslog but i couldnt find anything. where should i look to find out what happened?
[03:32] <snoops> theBishop I'm just using xgl/compiz and finding is fantastic
[03:32] <vanberge> is it normal for ubuntu to be slow at initializing network connectivity??  i.e. i cant start my browser for 1-3 minutes after i log into the system?
[03:32] <bon_> just got back from holiday and did an update and it has changed my xorg.conf file so kdm doesnt start here is the log http://pastebin.com/724579 this is my xorg.conf that doesnt work http://pastebin.com/724585
[03:32] <DShepherd> my <Control><Alt>F* keys dont switch between terminals. How can i fix this?
[03:33] <theBishop> i've been using it for about a month now, and its really come a long way since the initial release
[03:33] <dick-richardson> Anyone know a good repository to get libc6 v.2.3.6-6 or better?
[03:33] <tritium> vanberge: no, not normal
[03:33] <theBishop> i mean, i've been using it regularly for a month
[03:33] <DBO> vanberge, nope, thats not very normal at all
[03:33] <thomas> yoshiznit123 have you made any hardware changes recently?
[03:33] <tritium> dick-richardson: you really should only use the official ubuntu repos, especially for important thigs like libc6
[03:33] <vanberge> tritium, DBO, any ideas on what might cause that?
[03:33] <yoshiznit123> thomas, nope, just since installing dapper
[03:33] <tritium> vanberge: what type of interface?  How is it configured?
[03:33] <thomas> vanberge bad dns resolution??
[03:34] <DBO> vanberge, sounds like dhcp not playing nice
[03:34] <vanberge> thomas: i have a very fast connection...
[03:34] <snoops> it's still an alpha product too theBishop.. just crazy fantastic really
[03:34] <thomas> yoshiznit123 and you did a fresh install?
[03:34] <vanberge> whats wierd is that my eth0 interface has an ip right away.
[03:34] <vanberge> i did ifconfig immediately
[03:34] <tritium> vanberge: which ISP?
[03:34] <yoshiznit123> thomas, yup. its actually really rare, it doesn't bother me much at all, but i can't find any errors or anything in the logs
[03:34] <vanberge> comcast.
[03:34] <thomas> theBishop, i recommend you use the guide that allows you to toggle Xgl on and off, because as snoops said, it's alpha and there are some problems.
[03:35] <tritium> hmm, Qwest Actiontec routers have a bug with their dhcp server that screws up DNS
[03:35] <tritium> guess that's not your problem
[03:35] <thomas> yoshiznit123 what are you doing usually when these lockups occur?
[03:35] <DBO> thomas, the xgl toggle method actually only toggles compiz and metacity, not xgl and xorg
[03:35] <vanberge> wow i just did a speed test... 6 meg.    that 55 bucks a month seems a little easier to pay
[03:36] <thomas> DBO, o really? so playing full screen video using the toggle method would still not work correctly?
[03:36] <neopsyche> wierd
[03:36] <dick-richardson> tritium: there are a couple of dependencies that aren't met with the default libc6
[03:36] <tritium> dick-richardson: deps for what?
[03:36] <coleco> vanberge: Seirousley?! I have comcast (I have never ran a speed test) But it feels line im never geting the speed we signed up to get
[03:36] <yoshiznit123> thomas, nothing special, just playing music?
[03:36] <DBO> thomas, hmmm, I donno, i think thats a window manager issue actually, it should work correctly in metacity
[03:36] <DBO> what WONT be fixed with the togel is things like games thomas
[03:36] <tritium> dick-richardson: you _don't_ want to change the libc6 that's installed on your system, unless you want a massive headache
[03:36] <dick-richardson> tritium: the multiverse packages for the ugly codecs
[03:36] <thomas> lyoshiznit123 you never ever had these problems in breezy?
[03:37] <yoshiznit123> thomas, whatever, don't worry about it. I was just curious what logs things like kernel panics would be written to
[03:37] <tritium> dick-richardson: that's a bug, then
[03:37] <yoshiznit123> thomas, yea, but that happened with my webcam, and its fixed with dapper :-)
[03:37] <vanberge> coleco: i think i am close to the 'distirbution center' or whatever you would call it
[03:37] <thomas> DBO o thats kinda weak. i don't ever really play many games that often anyways.
[03:37] <dick-richardson> tritium: so just hang out until the ubuntu devs straighten it out?
[03:37] <coleco> vanberge: Ah...
[03:37] <tritium> dick-richardson: file a bug to be sure it gets addressed, I'd say
[03:38] <DShepherd> :-( help.. someone.. anyone
[03:38] <DBO> thomas, I wrote a script that takes care of toggeling, its as safe as I can make it, but it requires replacing some system files in and out.  (there is logging and error checking, but still)
[03:38] <dick-richardson> tritium: i can do that. thank you!
[03:38] <tritium> thank you too, dick-richardson
[03:38] <yoshiznit123> dshepherd, only from x? are you sure your function keys are working?
[03:38] <thomas> DBO i can't wait until Xgl merges with Xorg. that will simplify things a whole lot eh?
[03:39] <DBO> thomas, well thats kinda what AIGLX is
[03:39] <DShepherd> yoshiznit123: yup... i just xev to check.
[03:39] <thomas> yoshiznit123 i don't know man.
[03:39] <thomas> DBO isn't that just for some integrated video cards?
[03:39] <yoshiznit123> thomas, that's cool, no worries :-)
[03:39] <callie> im trying to revert back from xgl but im a little stuck, can anyone help me with this please?
[03:40] <DBO> thomas, yeah, nviida driver support is coming soon (nvidia drivers are missing one extension, but they have promised delivery)
[03:40] <DBO> callie, join #ubuntu-xgl
[03:40] <thomas> callie
[03:40] <thomas> i'll see you in there
[03:40] <nf4> any one use xfce
[03:40] <nf4> in ubuntu
[03:40] <DShepherd> yoshiznit123: so.. you know where i can reset them or something?
[03:41] <yoshiznit123> dshepherd, i have no idea. i'm guessing there's something in xorg.conf... but you say xev registers the function keys and control/alt, and ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't work?
[03:41] <linux_user> how would i change the background on xchat to black?
[03:41] <SniZ> hi
[03:42] <leleobhz> someone can tellme where on ubiquity i can change the minimum size for install?
[03:42] <SniZ> why my computer too slow?
[03:42] <yoshiznit123> leleobhz, what do you mean?
[03:42] <leleobhz> yoshiznit123: cause i want to install it in a usb pendrive
[03:42] <DShepherd> yoshiznit123: that's what I said
[03:42] <leleobhz> but its 1gb
[03:43] <yoshiznit123> leleobhz, someone was asking that earlier. ubuntu isn't really meant to be installed on small media, especially not with the livecd. you can try installing ubuntu-minimal from an alternate, or maybe look at puppylinux or damn small linux
[03:44] <dasGewitter> Hello, I have a couple of questions.
[03:44] <yoshiznit123> leleobhz, or you can try with ubiquity by partitioning, i don't know what you mean by changing the minimum size
[03:44] <leleobhz> yoshiznit123: but the bootstrap
[03:44] <leleobhz> yoshiznit123: i need do it has debian?
[03:44] <leleobhz> yoshiznit123: cause my pen is 1gb
[03:44] <leleobhz> and ubiquity dont install if freespace is less than 2
[03:45] <Schalken> does my windows computer need ext3 support to write to my ubuntu computer's samba share?
[03:45] <LjL> Schalken: no
[03:45] <yoshiznit123> leleobhz, yea, i don't think ubiquity can configure installed packages and installed takes more than 1 gig. try an alternate cd, i guess (or debootstrap). obviously, you'll need a bios that can boot from pen drives
[03:45] <Schalken> LJL: k thanks!
[03:46] <thomas> damn small linux is good for that.
[03:46] <LjL> dasGewitter: are you waiting for someone to give you permission to ask them? :-)
[03:47] <dasGewitter> Haha, no. I'm making sure my information is right, as well as my English.
[03:48] <LjL> dasGewitter: alright then. some people actually come here and are unsure the *can* ask questions.
[03:48] <leleobhz> thomas: DSL dont do in the way i want
[03:48] <leleobhz> usb drives act as scsi drives for kernel
[03:48] <dasGewitter> The new kernel is <IP_ADDRESS> I believe, and Ubuntu is using 2.6.15
[03:48] <leleobhz> and the boot is possible
[03:48] <dasGewitter> Why hasn't Ubuntu upgraded yet?
[03:48] <leleobhz> so why use a compressed RO fs?
[03:48] <dasGewitter> Thank you :D
[03:48] <RadiantFire> Daskies:
[03:48] <leleobhz> where i can use it as a normal system?
[03:48] <init_6> Hi all.  Need some help compiling usbserial.  Any takers?
[03:48] <RadiantFire> whoops,ignore that\\
[03:49] <LjL> dasGewitter: Debian is probably still at 2.4.something. there is a compromise between quick-upgrade-right-now-what-are-you-waiting-for and some testing, integration and security checking
[03:49] <dasGewitter> Ah, I like that. Unlike hasty Gentoo users I know : )
[03:49] <linux_user> LjL 2.6 is optional on sarge
[03:49] <slugicide> Greetings.  Can anyone point me to help: I can access the internet, but can't really browse.  Wireless dsl.
[03:50] <dasGewitter> slugicide: I have that same problem
[03:50] <LjL> dasGewitter: also, i don't think Ubuntu Dapper will move from kernel 2.6.15 -- i think you will have to wait for Edgy Eft. any given Ubuntu version only gets security fixes and bug fixes
[03:50] <tritium> slugicide, dasGewitter: Qwest?
[03:50] <Toma-> dasGewitter, the 2.6.15 kernel we use is just the same as 2.6.17 in security patches... if thats any consolation?
[03:50] <KhZilla> XP + RDP under VMware without X is totally cool...
[03:50] <slugicide> Yes, Qwest.
[03:50] <tritium> slugicide: Actiontec modem?
[03:50] <slugicide> Yessir.
[03:50] <yoshiznit123> leleobhz, try debootstrap: assuming /media/usbdisk is your pen drive, do 'debootstrap dapper /media/usbdisk'
[03:50] <KhZilla> everyone should do it!
[03:50] <dasGewitter> Toma: That makes sense actually. I'm just now beginning kernel learning. I'd like to contribute
[03:50] <tritium> slugicide: it's dhcp server is buggy
[03:50] <slugicide> Hmmm.
[03:51] <yoshiznit123> leleobhz, or look for alternative installation methods on ubuntu wiki
[03:51] <tritium> slugicide, dasGewitter: you need to prepend DNS nameservers in your dhcp config file
[03:51] <Toma-> dasGewitter, http://kernelnewbies.org/ :)
[03:51] <dasGewitter> tritium: Have a wiki for that?
[03:51] <dasGewitter> Toma: yes yes, I've been there, idling the channel as well.
[03:52] <tritium> dasGewitter: no, but you can "man dhclient.conf", or edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, and follow the examples that are commented out
[03:52] <dasGewitter> Toma: The wiki, unless I have problems perusing around it, was not very helpful
[03:52] <dasGewitter> tritium: ah, thank you.
[03:52] <slugicide> Thanks, tritium.
[03:52] <tritium> sure
[03:52] <unkn0wn2u> vi /etc/resolv.conf
[03:52] <SpeedyIndy> hi!
[03:52] <iwkse> hi all, anybody has a satellite notebook? i'm trying to find out how to select usb-boot when i press F12..any hints?
[03:52] <dasGewitter> My second question is an easy one. It's about the background during the Boot Splash screen
[03:53] <dasGewitter> I couldn't find the GTK settings in the Login Screen settings
[03:53] <vanberge> iwkse: does F12 take you to setup?
[03:53] <tritium> dasGewitter, slugicide: the main problem is the first nameserver listed in the IP address of the DSL modem.  Also, you might want to add a 2nd DNS server
[03:53] <iwkse> vanberge: when i press F12 i get a setup where i can choice +HD (usb and hard disk) , cdrom..ecc..
[03:54] <dasGewitter> tritium: Sounds good. I tried cloning the mac of the adsl router, but with no luck
[03:54] <thomas> usually your ISP has DNS servers you can add.
[03:54] <iwkse> but i see just +HD
[03:54] <iwkse> i can't be inside the tree and select usb
[03:54] <tritium> thomas: yeah, the bug is in the dhcp server in those actiontec modems
[03:54] <iwkse> thing i can do with F2 in the bios
[03:54] <vanberge> iwkse: oh ok... so your question is making the usb device bootable.. not 'how to i set my laptop to boot usb' ?  is that right?  (i.e., you can pick usb, it just doesnt work?)
[03:54] <iwkse> yes
[03:55] <iwkse> just making it bootable with F12
[03:55] <linux_user400354> does anyone use ekiga?
[03:55] <dasGewitter> Any help with the splash background?
[03:55] <linux_user> linux user no
[03:56] <Toma-> im trying to get Return Fire to work under wine, but i need a fake 256 color mode to get it to run... is this possible with win 0.9.15?
[03:56] <dasGewitter> I didn't know people still played Return Fire...
[03:57] <KuLover> thomas I booted from the live CD like you said, but it still hands at the logo screen, what should I do?
[03:57] <Toma-> dasGewitter, greatest 2 player/1 keyboard game evar :D
[03:58] <dasGewitter> Toma- That it is! I stopped playing years ago because there were no opponents...well not in Europe at least..
[03:58] <linux_user400354> i just got ekiga setup in ubuntu. does anyone want to test and see if it works?
[03:59] <dasGewitter> Toma-: I haven't thought to check again
[04:00] <dasGewitter> Alright, so no takers on helping me with the splash background?
[04:01] <adamant1988> dasGewitter, what did you need help with about it?
[04:01] <loquitus_of_borg> Hey people. I am trying to build code remotely on an ubuntu box. what do I need to do to get gcc and make and all that stuff put onto it? is there a simple way to do this?
[04:01] <loquitus_of_borg> like say apt or yum?
[04:01] <loquitus_of_borg> apparently no developer stuff was put onto it
[04:01] <dasGewitter> The login splash screen background. How do you change it? I could not find the GTK settings in the login screen ssettings
[04:01] <bimberi> loquitus_of_borg: sudo aptitude install build-essential
[04:02] <bimberi> !splash > dasGewitter
[04:02] <Toma-> dasGewitter, you can only set a color
[04:02] <bmp_> friends, romans, countrymen
[04:02] <bmp_> I installed your os
[04:02] <bmp_> and it is a delight.
[04:02] <Pillzy> Ok I know I will get flamed for this but, ho do I start X GUI in 6.06 server
[04:02] <dasGewitter> Toma-: That's fine with me, there's nothing set as of now though
[04:02] <Toma-> and its under the gdm-setup
[04:02] <chr1s_> gsm
[04:02] <chr1s_> gdm
[04:02] <loquitus_of_borg> bimberi: but that requires me to actually be there physically to load the install discs right?
[04:02] <Toma-> Pillzy, startx
[04:02] <init_6> I'm trying to recompile usbserial but getting nothing but errors.  Anyone able to help me out with this?
[04:03] <Pillzy> humm, that is what I thought
[04:03] <javiolo> Im trying to build freenx from sources but I get an error http://pastebin.ca/68755
[04:03] <Toma-> Pillzy, have you installed X?
[04:03] <iwkse> hi all, anybody has a satellite notebook? i'm trying to find out how to select usb-boot when i press F12..any hints?
[04:03] <bimberi> loquitus_of_borg: you can modify the sources to get the packages from the internet
[04:03] <uXp> any way of ending a invisible proccess?
[04:03] <Pillzy> nope, that is my issue,. No X on server install
[04:04] <Pillzy> ok, well this is just going to be a file and print server for home so I don't really need it
[04:04] <yoshiznit123> could anybody with a dual boot windows/ubuntu do me a big favor and test this script? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MigrationAssistance/Script
[04:04] <loquitus_of_borg> bimberi: uh... ok. so what does that mean in terms of the command you just gave me? is it a different command to source these packages from the net now?
[04:04] <bimberi> uXp: use 'ps aux' to find the process id, then kill it with the 'kill' command
[04:04] <Pillzy> Thanks for the help, this is my first Ubuntu install
[04:04] <yoshiznit123> ... and tell me if it works :-)
[04:05] <ElBob> does anyone know why I always get the 403 error when I try to update my software?  I already changed to se.archive.ubuntu.com, but I still get it.
[04:05] <bimberi> loquitus_of_borg: yes, that would be to edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list, comment out references to the CD, then 'sudo aptitude update' and then the command i gave you
[04:05] <Toma-> Pillzy, thats because its a server :D silly! run 'sudo apt-get install xserve-xorg-core' if you want an X server. and maybe a winodw manager like fluxbox
[04:05] <linux_user400354> how can i make a script that runs when the computer starts up?
[04:05] <uXp> bimberi:  how do you use the kill command
[04:05] <dasGewitter> And is the gdm setup still in System --> Administration --> ?
[04:05] <uXp> !kill
[04:05] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands
[04:05] <Toma-> dasGewitter, yeh
[04:06] <chr1s_> how can I check what speed my cpu is running?
[04:06] <linux_user400354> uXp, man kill
[04:06] <dasGewitter> Toma-, Login Window --> Background Window
[04:06] <Toma-> chr1s_, 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'
[04:06] <mcpowley> Hey guys, I need a suggestion for a book. I'm pretty much brand new to linux, much less ubuntu. Does anyone have suggestions for reading material I could get that could help me to understand the Linux OS and be able to use if effectively?
[04:06] <bimberi> uXp: kill <pid>, or if it is stubborn and won't die, kill -9 <pid>
[04:06] <yoshiznit123> chr1s_, or try gnome-system-monitor
[04:06] <chr1s_> thx
[04:07] <chr1s_> I just had some problems (in cedega) so restarted.... now computer is running verrrry slow...
[04:07] <Toma-> dasGewitter, Login window -- midway down "Background Colour"
[04:08] <linux_user> mcpowley:  Debian GNU/LINUX Bible helped me out quit a bit
[04:08] <dasGewitter> Toma-: Yes. That's what I thought. Hm, I have it set to black, yet when I load, it's a default black and gray dotted screen
[04:08] <chr1s_> any ideas (a desktop folder text also looks corrupt) but when I click on it I can read the text
[04:08] <ElBob> Does why would I be getting the 403 access forbidden message even after I changed my server?
[04:08] <Toma-> dasGewitter, are you using GDM?
[04:08] <ElBob> *Does anyone know
[04:08] <Toma-> ElBob, try another server?
[04:09] <bimberi> mcpowley: http://help.ubuntu.com
[04:09] <Juanfer2k> hello,  wanna install amsn, it says package is broken
[04:09] <ElBob> I have tried aus.archive.ubuntu.com, archive.ubuntu.com and se.archive.ubuntu.com
[04:09] <Juanfer2k> how can I fix it
[04:09] <dasGewitter> Toma- mm, I'm not sure
[04:09] <vanberge> mcpowley: you set up a dual boot?
[04:09] <vanberge> mcpowley: www.ubuntuguide.org is very good
[04:09] <uXp> bimberi:  still not working
[04:10] <Toma-> dasGewitter, what does "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" return?
[04:10] <uXp> mna kill <process>  ?
[04:10] <vanberge> mcpowley: google "EasyUbuntu" as well... :-)
[04:11] <yoshiznit123> hey everyone, i was wondering if anyone with a dual ubuntu/windows boot could test this script: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MigrationAssistance/Script and tell me about any problems... it looks for users on the windows partition to import settings from. it won't hurt the system at all (you can choose not to import anything). thanks a ton :-)
[04:11] <ElBob> Toma-: where can I find a list of servers to try?
[04:11] <bimberi> uXp: hmmk - you could try it as superuser - sudo kill <pid>
[04:11] <dasGewitter> Toma-: oohhhh, Gnome Display Manager, haha, wow. Yes, sorry, I am.
[04:11] <dasGewitter> I have Xgl with Compiz
[04:11] <loquitus_of_borg> bimberi: thanks a  bunch. that's exactly what the doctor ordered.
[04:11] <Toma-> dasGewitter, hmmmmmmmm XGL hey.
[04:11] <dasGewitter> Which is why it removed the background color during the splash login
[04:11] <bimberi> !mirror
[04:11] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[04:11] <uXp> bimberi:  whew got it
[04:12] <bimberi> loquitus_of_borg: np :)
[04:12] <bimberi> uXp: yay
[04:12] <dasGewitter> Toma-, yeah, so I was trying to get a color behind it
[04:12] <uXp> w00t w00t
[04:12] <uXp> party!
[04:12] <Toma-> dasGewitter, have you restarted gdm?
[04:12] <Toma-> or just X
[04:12] <dasGewitter> Toma-, not yet, I will soon.
[04:12] <Toma-> ok. try that
[04:12] <Toma-> bbl
[04:14] <dasGewitter> Toma- ok
[04:14] <mcpowley> vanberge, yeah, via grub i believe
[04:14] <vanberge> mcpowley: cool..  :-)
[04:15] <vanberge> ive used linux alot on second hard drive/ dual booting, etc.
[04:15] <vanberge> just finally converting for good
[04:15] <luddite> hey o, my first ubuntu chat.. how do i configure dapper drake with nvidia 3d accel?
[04:15] <mcpowley> also, might anyone have suggestions for like an actual book I can /purchase/ that will teach me the in and outs of linux? I
[04:15] <Warbo> !nvidia
[04:15] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:15] <linux_user> mcpowley: Debian GNU/Linux Bible
[04:15] <vanberge> mcpowley: don't buy a book... you'll find much more and better info online
[04:16] <Bennner> hi everyone, i'm looking for help with samba.. i can see the linux-pc from my xp machines, but all the folder are not accessible, i tried alots of thing... edit smb.conf, add user, smbpasswd etc.. what i want is each shares need a different user/password for read or read/write
[04:16] <Yonda> how can i shutdown via ssh?
[04:16] <vanberge> Yonda: sudo shutdown -h now
[04:16] <Yonda> vanberge, thanks
[04:16] <loquitus_of_borg> bimberi: I was trying to build QT and got the following error (and others related to it) kernel/qt_x11_p.h:66:22: error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
[04:16] <runes> Is there anymone is this channel with experience in postfix?
[04:16] <linux_user> Benner enable file sharing on each file you need to share
[04:17] <loquitus_of_borg> bimberi: am I still missing something?
[04:17] <linux_user> Benner : permissions
[04:17] <bimberi> !find Xlib.h
[04:17] <ubotu> No packages matching 'Xlib.h' could be found
[04:17] <Warbo> mcpowley: The only thing a book can contain which won't get outdated is core system commands, but when I am using such commands I like to have "online" (electronic) help available as it saves lokking through a book just for the right option
[04:17] <vanberge> mcpowley: do you want to learn usability?  or like more in depth?
[04:17] <Bennner> you mean, right click on the mounted folder make properties, and change the permission?
[04:17] <loquitus_of_borg> !find Xutil.h
[04:17] <ubotu> No packages matching 'Xutil.h' could be found
[04:18] <loquitus_of_borg> !find Xos.h
[04:18] <ubotu> No packages matching 'Xos.h' could be found
[04:18] <linux_user> Benner that is one way, from root, chroot commands are much faster and more flexible
[04:18] <bimberi> loquitus_of_borg: hang on, i'm checking those answers
[04:18] <loquitus_of_borg> bimberi: thanks
[04:18] <uXp> nyone here ever install UT2k$ in ubuntu LinuX?
[04:18] <luddite> thanks for the nvidia howto :)
[04:18] <linux_user> or is it chown, i forget heh
[04:19] <linux_user> Benner: chown is the command line way
[04:19] <Bennner> linux_user: i want to share /media/Mp3 what is the cmd line?
[04:19] <linux_user> Benner: new to linux?
[04:20] <Bennner> yes but two week of intensive ;) i know basics commands
[04:20] <bimberi> loquitus_of_borg: ok, http://packages.ubutu.com indicates various packages that have Xlib.h in them, try libx11-dev
[04:20] <yoshiznit123> i'm playing a movie with mplayer and it always stops at the same place (corrupted movie, i think)... the problem is that i can't close the window no matter what i do, kill -9 9768 (the pid) doesn't do anything...?
[04:20] <loquitus_of_borg> bimberi: that sounds right
[04:20] <yoshiznit123> control-c in terminal won't work either
[04:20] <linux_user> Benner: ive only used chown a few times, best bet is to search google for chown commands to change file permissions
[04:20] <yoshiznit123> nor closing the terminal
[04:20] <linux_user> as i dont remember
[04:20] <vanberge> Bennner: chmod might be what you want?
[04:21] <linux_user> chmod, hmmm , thats it, yaaaa
[04:21] <Bennner> i want to reduce the security permission for /media/mp3
[04:21] <linux_user> i forget more than i remember
[04:21] <vanberge> chmod ugo+rw
[04:21] <yoshiznit123> bennner, who do you want to share it with?
[04:22] <vanberge> that will give everyone read/write
[04:22] <vanberge> chmod ugo+rx is read/execute
[04:22] <loquitus_of_borg> bimberi: you rock dude (or dudette)
[04:22] <Bennner> this is a mounted drive to be share with samba
[04:22] <vanberge> chmod 777 is anybody can do anything
[04:22] <yoshiznit123> bennner, a more fine-grained way is to add all the users u want to share with to a group, and do chown
[04:22] <bimberi> loquitus_of_borg: haha, dude'll do :)
[04:23] <linux_user> Benner here is a link for chmod help
[04:23] <linux_user> http://www.zzee.com/solutions/chmod-help.shtml
[04:23] <Bennner> Grrr.. i have to restart i got "Su returned with an error."
[04:23] <loquitus_of_borg> bimberi: just making sure... there are <some> women around.
[04:23] <usul> hello
[04:23] <bimberi> loquitus_of_borg: :)
[04:24] <runes> Which dyndns client do you all recommend for Ubuntu?
[04:24] <usul> Can anyone tell me what the command is to install a .deb (and do I need to put the file anywhere in particular)
[04:24] <linux_user> banberge: thanks for setting him straight for me
[04:25] <linux_user> vanberge:
[04:25] <liquidten2> usul:  sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[04:25] <AngryElf> is there one package I can apt-get install that will get everything I need for building/compiling?  gcc/g++/make etc
[04:25] <liquidten2> AngryElf:  build-essential
[04:25] <vanberge> linux_user: no problemo
[04:26] <chr1s_> is there some sort of checkdisk/defrag I can run in ubuntu?
[04:27] <yoshiznit123> chr1s_, you don't need to defrag ext3's, but you can use fsck to check the disk
[04:27] <Bennner> ok im back
[04:27] <dasGewitter> Hm, still no luck with the background color during splash login
[04:27] <chr1s_> thanks
[04:27] <Robin_Hollenstei> hi everyone
[04:27] <AngryElf> liquidten2, thanx
[04:27] <Candamir> hey, i want to install Ubuntu 6.06 on my laptop
[04:27] <chr1s_> heres what happened:  I was playing a game in cedega, and cedega crashed. I restarted my system and since then it has been extremely slow... playing videos is now even choppy... any ideas?
[04:28] <Candamir> does Ubuntu support Intel Wireless cards?
[04:28] <linux_user> candamir: i have xubuntu on my laptop
[04:28] <dasGewitter> Candamir: It should
[04:28] <yoshiznit123> chr1s_, do you see any odd processes running?
[04:28] <_jason> !wireless
[04:28] <ubotu> Documentation for wireless networking can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs
[04:28] <dasGewitter> Candamir: I have 6.06, works fine.
[04:28] <_jason> Candamir: there is a list on the wiki that ubotu just linked
[04:28] <chr1s_> nope
[04:29] <Candamir> and if I still want WinXP (required by school) to dual-boot, then I just tell Ubuntu during the installation that it should create a new partition and then modify the GRUB menu file?
[04:30] <Bennner> i dont really understand the chmod command, i just want to share that to samba with user 1001 and 1002
[04:30] <dasGewitter> Candamir: Same for me as well. It'll modify the Grub automatically, partition space for your linux install first
[04:30] <vanberge> Candamir: you an support any wirless card.  don't worry about that.  ndiswrapper
[04:30] <StAfZe6> Hi
[04:30] <Psy-X> Hello
[04:30] <chr1s_> yoshi... I do have a folder whose text appears corrupt on my desktop, but when I click the folder... the text is readable
[04:30] <chr1s_> if that points to anything?
[04:30] <ElBob> Okay, every mirror I have tried gives me the 403 error
[04:31] <vanberge> chr1s_: what do you mean corrupt?
[04:31] <Candamir> so I should tell the installer that it should create the Ubuntu partition /before/ the Windows partition?
[04:31] <chr1s_> it contains non ascii characters
[04:31] <ElBob> can anyone help me?
[04:31] <yoshiznit123> chr1s_, what's the file?
[04:31] <vanberge> chr1s_: do you just need to get into it? or rename it?
[04:31] <StAfZe6> you tell me
[04:31] <chr1s_> its just a shortcut to a "download" directory
[04:32] <dasGewitter> Candamir: I believe it should be after, I think there should be an option to tell it to install to open space.
[04:32] <chr1s_> I can click the folder and go in it fine... its justr that the name of the folder appears corrupt on the desktop
[04:32] <vanberge> can you right click and rename?
[04:32] <chr1s_> I thought it might be pointing to something as to why my system may be running so slow
[04:32] <javiolo> is there any way to press a button and all windows resize, like os x ?
[04:32] <dasGewitter> Candamir: I don't think that Ubuntu will carelessly write over the XP partition.
[04:32] <DShepherd> How do i go about binding <Control><Alt>F* combinations so that they jump to terminals. for some reason or the other.. they dont seem to work
[04:32] <dasGewitter> javiolo: With Xgl, it's F12
[04:32] <vanberge> Candamir: he is right... i beleive it will say "re-size NTFS partition and install to open space"
[04:33] <javiolo> dasgewitter thanks
[04:33] <dasGewitter> javiolo: kein Problem
[04:33] <dasGewitter> er..
[04:33] <dasGewitter> no problem
[04:33] <chr1s_> I will try resintalling the kernel I guess
[04:34] <javiolo> dasgewitter its easy to install ? it needs many config ?
[04:34] <vanberge> chr1s_: what do you mean
[04:34] <mixtion> hola
[04:34] <javiolo> !es
[04:34] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[04:34] <vanberge> lol javiolo
[04:34] <dasGewitter> javiolo: I'll be honest, it can be a pain sometimes. /msg me and we'll talk about your setup now
[04:34] <usul> liquidten2 I get an error "2" when dpkg
[04:34] <chr1s_> I was playing a game in cedega... cedega crashed... and then I restarted my computer... its been running extremely slow since then
[04:35] <javiolo> vanberge Im speaking in english :P
[04:35] <bobby> chr1s_, take a look for anything error like in dmesg

[04:37] <harry_> is there an application that supports music, video transfers for NOKIA mobile phones. for Ubuntu Linux
[04:37] <chr1s_> yes
[04:37] <AngryElf> ok, i'm a moron and just did, sudo rm -rf ~/*  which didn't remove any hidden files obviously, but it removed ~/Desktop, which luckly didn't have anything in it.....but even with mkdir Desktop, it's not function correctly......is there some dpkg-reconfigure <somethin here> to fix this?
[04:38] <harry_> chrls: what is it??

[04:39] <thomas> harry be patient there's lots of people in here
[04:39] <vanberge> and did you do a file system check?
[04:39] <thomas> if somebody knew they'd tell you right away.
[04:39] <chr1s_> I dont think so... cedega kind of froze and some debug windows came up (which I closed).  I did a control alt 1 and then init 6
[04:39] <jiping> is anybody know?
[04:39] <vanberge> harry_: i was wondering this myself (only - about motorola phones)
[04:39] <thomas> you should try google while you wait for somebody in here to answer.
[04:39] <DShepherd> yes harry_ .. i ahead of you in the queue :-)
[04:40] <harry_> DShepherd: what do you mean??
[04:40] <vanberge> DShepherd: what's your queston?
[04:40] <chr1s_> and it takes MUCH longer for X to start now
[04:40] <DShepherd> How do i go about binding <Control><Alt>F* combinations so that they jump to terminals. for some reason or the other.. they dont seem to work
[04:40] <Hexidigital_> anyone know of a program (preferably in aptitude) that is similar to MSs OneNote 2003?
[04:40] <DShepherd> harry_: i;m just playing.. never mind me
[04:40] <bon_> my computer locks at start just before you put your user name in - here is the xorg.log   - http://pastebin.ca/68794
[04:41] <harry_> DSheperd: i just had my NOKIA N70. i wanted to transfer mp3 to my mobile phones
[04:41] <vanberge> DShepherd: those should work out of the box.  you use gnome?

[04:41] <vanberge> DShepherd: did soemthing happen?
[04:41] <DShepherd> vanberge: know how I can going about fixing them
[04:41] <harry_> vanberge: you mean the one that connects my phone to the USB port??
[04:41] <Hexidigital_> anilruby:: you mean install to your hard disk?
[04:41] <vanberge> harry_: yep
[04:41] <DShepherd> vanberge: xgl... but.. i dont suspect it
[04:42] <harry_> anilruby" update from the net. that'll get you dapper drake
[04:42] <wims> anilruby,  I believe you can with the alternate ISO
[04:42] <vanberge> DShepherd: i bet that is the issue.  xgl makes changes to your xorg
[04:42] <vanberge> i dont know much about xgl, i was actually just reding about it
[04:42] <harry_> vanberge: i have one.
[04:42] <vanberge> harry_: did you make a backup of your xorg.conf file ?
[04:42] <bon_> one of the updates has broken my computer
[04:43] <vanberge> you could try copying in the original, and see if that helps?
[04:43] <dasGewitter> I use Xgl, what is the question about the xorg.conf file?
[04:43] <DShepherd> vanberge: but control alt is not a gnome thing... its an x thing.. i dont think so..
[04:43] <harry_> vanberge: nope.. why do have to??
[04:43] <DShepherd> dasGewitter: my control alt f keys dont jump to terminal
[04:43] <vanberge> harry_: how else would you tranfer media to the phone?
[04:43] <vanberge> DShepherd: the xorg.conf file is what starts up X, isnt it?
[04:43] <bon_> what is glore for
[04:44] <dasGewitter> hmm
[04:44] <william_> How do I execute bin files with Ubuntu ^

[04:44] <william_> I downloaded some bin files but I can't get anyhtingout of them
[04:44] <vanberge> william_: from command line:  type ./filename.bin
[04:44] <vanberge> maybe?
[04:44] <DShepherd> vanberge: yes... you may be right about the x.org file... but I dont think xgl did that
[04:44] <bon_> what is glcore

[04:44] <anilruby> Hexidigital_ I have 256MB RAM, 1.7Ghz processor, it takes too much time. it really hangs, how to install like 5.10, text mode
[04:44] <harry_> vanberge: i dont know?? i was thinking that if could just paste the mp3's to the directory of my mobile phone..
[04:44] <dasGewitter> hm
[04:45] <eps> anilruby, get ubuntu-alternative
[04:45] <vanberge> harry_: but how would your computer see your phone?
[04:45] <ElBob> just out of curiosity, what is causing the 403 error?
[04:45] <Hexidigital_> anilruby:: yes, what eps said
[04:45] <dasGewitter> DShepherd: xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.xx
[04:45] <dasGewitter> xx = whatever language you are, i.e. United States - .us
[04:45] <DShepherd> dasGewitter: that doesnt seem to work at all.. i' try again for the 10th time
[04:45] <dasGewitter> type that in terminal
[04:46] <harry_> vanberge: i dont know. i tried connecting it the computer but nothing happened
[04:46] <DShepherd> dasGewitter: that doesnt work..again.
[04:46] <anilruby> eps, how to do ubuntu-alternative?
[04:46] <bon_> ah
[04:46] <RadiantFire> lol
[04:46] <Hexidigital_> anilruby:: download it from www.ubuntu.com
[04:46] <anilruby> Hexidigital_ what is ubuntu-alternative
[04:46] <eps> anilruby, you have to download the ubuntu-alternative iso instead of the -desktop one
[04:46] <anilruby> ?
[04:46] <Hexidigital_> anilruby:: it is a distribution cd
[04:46] <kolaje> Does anyone do any wardriving with ubuntu? :\
[04:46] <DShepherd> hehe
[04:46] <vanberge> harry_: i dont get it.. so you have your phone connected wiht usb ?
[04:46] <vanberge> lol
[04:47] <DShepherd> vanberge: any ideas?
[04:47] <bon_> my repotoires are set for us but computer is installed uk
[04:47] <anilruby> No, I have Ubuntu 6.06 cds, I want to install from it, without live Ubuntu?
[04:47] <vanberge> DShepherd: not really, no  :-(  i am sorry
[04:47] <kolaje> what'd harry ask now?
[04:47] <eps> thanks RadiantFire :P ...I've already had my fair share of embarrasment going to install ubuntu with the normal iso and it crashing, on around 20 pcs (haven't had it work yet)...then I had to dl the alternative one which is another 8 hour wait on 256k
[04:47] <DShepherd> vanberge: thanks anyways
[04:47] <vanberge> anilruby: you have to boot live, then an icon on desktop says 'install'
[04:48] <Hexidigital_> anilruby:: isnt there an option to install instead of boot?  (i never used a live cd, so i dont know)
[04:48] <harry_> vanberge: yep.. but the ubuntu doesnt read it
[04:48] <eps> Hexidigital_, no their isn't
[04:48] <wayout> hi what CD do you download for a hd install?
[04:48] <anilruby> vanberge, How much time it takes on 256MB ram and 1.7Ghz
[04:48] <william_> Hey, I get this error while trying to install a bin
[04:48] <anilruby> ?
[04:48] <eps> you have to get the alternative one
[04:48] <william_> error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[04:48] <eps> wayout, ubuntu-alternative
[04:48] <vanberge> anilruby: not bad... thats about the stats of my laptop
[04:48] <Hexidigital_> eps:: ah, thanks :)
[04:48] <vanberge> 30-45 mins
[04:48] <RadiantFire> eps it actually succeeded for me, although I heard about lots of problems
[04:48] <ashzilla> How long do files stay in /tmp before they're deleted?
[04:48] <shadrach> does ubuntu support MDA phones?
[04:48] <william_> How do I get that shared library?
[04:49] <eps> william_, find out which package contains that file and dl it
[04:49] <vanberge> DShepherd: the only thing i could think of is trying to remove xgl
[04:49] <eps> william_, get apt-file and do apt-file search filenamehere
[04:49] <Candamir> and if I understood right, the desktop install cd will work as a LiveCD and then offers me the option to install it permanently?
[04:49] <eps> ashzilla, normally each reboot?
[04:49] <DShepherd> vanberge: hehe... been there.. done that.. anything else?
[04:50] <eps> Candamir, note the installer with the livecd is alpha and doesn't work on a lot of pc's
[04:50] <vanberge> DShepherd: type dmesg
[04:50] <vanberge> in console
[04:50] <ashzilla> eps: Okay, thanks - I had no understanding of how /tmp worked.
[04:50] <vanberge> maybe that will output some errors?
[04:50] <anilruby> Hexidigital_ and eps But it really hangs on choosing country time? I tried with 10 diff cds!
[04:50] <william_> it doesnt work
[04:50] <Candamir> eps: So, what will happen when I boot the desktop CD?
[04:50] <DShepherd> vanberge: it would be good to know what I am looking for
[04:50] <eps> anilruby, are you using the livecd installer or the ubuntu-alternative installer?"
[04:50] <dasGewitter> DShepherd: whoops, sorry
[04:51] <vanberge> DShepherd: actually, do this instead.
[04:51] <vanberge> cd /var/log/
[04:51] <DShepherd> dasGewitter: no prob
[04:51] <bon_> uk or gb
[04:51] <william_> bash: get: command not found
[04:51] <DShepherd> vanberge: and then?
[04:51] <eps> Candamir, the desktop one is the live cd...it is a normal live cd with a gentoo style gui installer which you can click to install or just use the disc as a normal live cd
[04:51] <vanberge> tail -30 Xorg.0.log
[04:51] <vanberge> look for any errors in that output
[04:51] <vanberge> i dont really know what it would say
[04:51] <Candamir> ok
[04:52] <anilruby> eps livecd installer!
[04:52] <DShepherd> dasGewitter: do you have a xmodmap.conf file? same question to you
[04:52] <eps> anilruby, yes, you _must_ get the ubuntu-alternative disc or iso to install
[04:52] <ktstone> I need to set my monitors max refresh rate to 60, I don't understand hor.sync and vert.refresh.  What should I set those values to?
[04:52] <Candamir> eps: and during the install process, I will be able to select all the options I need to still keep running WinXP (make separate partition)?
[04:52] <dasGewitter> DShepherd: Yes.
[04:52] <william_> When I try to install another bin I get this
[04:52] <william_> bash: ./mono-<IP_ADDRESS>_0-installer.bin: Permission denied
[04:52] <anilruby> eps, please give me the link for it!
[04:53] <DShepherd> dasGewitter: ah... vanberge did you find that file?
[04:53] <eps> Candamir, indeed...note you should make sure you have the free space for the partition already assigned - it cannot resize a windows parition for you without killing the data on it
[04:53] <DShepherd> dasGewitter: what is the location of that file
[04:53] <vanberge> DShepherd: what file?
[04:53] <harry_> is there an application that supports music, video transfers for NOKIA mobile phones. for Ubuntu Linux
[04:53] <dasGewitter> william: You are typing "sudo" before all this, right?
[04:53] <siriusnova> Anyone running AIGLX/XGL/COMPIZ on a Radeon 7500 mobility?
[04:53] <william_> naw
[04:53] <william_> what is sudo^
[04:53] <william_> ?
[04:53] <clparker> SUDO = SUPER USER DO
[04:54] <anilruby> eps, please give me the link for it! For ubuntu-alternative
[04:54] <DShepherd> vanberge: xmodmap.conf
[04:54] <dasGewitter> siriusnova: A rage Mobility, x500 series, yes
[04:54] <vanberge> DShepherd: you want me to see what is int hat file?
[04:54] <eps> anilruby, http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/ubuntu-6.06-alternate-i386.iso <--- for 32bit only
[04:54] <eps> else see http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/
[04:54] <siriusnova> dasGewitter - do you get a white screen when you log into gnome?
[04:54] <dasGewitter> siriusnova: with the "X" right in the middle?
[04:55] <siriusnova> Gas - yes
[04:55] <dasGewitter> DShepherd: /usr/share/xmodmap/
[04:55] <DShepherd> vanberge: well.. i guess that would come along. but first tell me if you have the file and where it is located
[04:55] <anilruby> ok eps
[04:55] <DShepherd> dasGewitter: thanks..
[04:55] <dasGewitter> siriusnova: Haha! Yes, I was just asking others how to change it as well
[04:55] <siriusnova> das - i get a white screen like so http://web.umr.edu/~taknnc/Screenshot.png
[04:55] <DShepherd> dasGewitter: can you send me that file please? if you dont mnd that is
[04:55] <dasGewitter> DShepherd: No problem.
[04:55] <siriusnova> i dont think its the same thing
[04:55] <vanberge> DShepherd: i dont have that file
[04:56] <DShepherd> vanberge: hmmm.. oj
[04:56] <harry_> is there an application that supports music, video transfers for NOKIA mobile phones. for Ubuntu Linux
[04:56] <william_> I need a visual basic app for linux
[04:56] <dasGewitter> DShepherd: Yeah, sure, no problem
[04:56] <varsendaggr> william_,   vim
[04:56] <vanberge> harry_: you don't so much need an application like that, but you need to ahve ubuntu recognize your usb device
[04:56] <william_> I am trying to install kbasic but I need some weird files that I cant fin with the commands I am told
[04:57] <dasGewitter> siriusnova: hm, no not that.
[04:57] <william_> vim
[04:57] <vanberge> harry_: maybe boot up ubuntu with it connected?
[04:57] <siriusnova> :/
[04:57] <dasGewitter> siriusnova: You did configure your ATI before you installed did you not?
[04:57] <varsendaggr> william_, try apt-cahce search VB
[04:57] <william_> Cool thanks man!
[04:57] <moonunit> how would i go about installing xfce?
[04:57] <siriusnova> dasGewitter - yes
[04:57] <william_> I got a ton of VB homework and no XP to do it on :D
[04:57] <william_> apt-cahce search VB ?
[04:58] <Latino> hi. does gnome turns a firewall by default?
[04:58] <harry_> vanberge: you mean to say restart my computer while its connected... ubuntu detects other USB disk device. but it doesnt detect my phone
[04:58] <william_> bash: apt-cahce: command not found
[04:58] <ardchoille> Latino: you can install firestarter, it's a nice firewall app
[04:58] <varsendaggr> william_, i found it apt-get install gb
[04:58] <varsendaggr> william_, sorry that is apt-cache
[04:58] <ardchoille> william_: spelling error there
[04:58] <varsendaggr> that is a search tool
[04:58] <moonunit> how would i go about installing xfce?
[04:59] <william_> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[04:59] <william_> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[04:59] <DShepherd> moonunit: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop
[04:59] <moonunit> DShepherd, thanks yo
[04:59] <william_> DO I use that SUDO thing again ?
[04:59] <ardchoille> william_: yes
[04:59] <varsendaggr> william_, sudo
[04:59] <DShepherd> moonunit: no prob
[04:59] <vanberge> has anybody had any success connecting mobile phones to ubuntu via usb??  this is for harry_, but i am interested as well
[05:00] <DShepherd> dasGewitter: sending the file
[05:00] <Cntryboy> whats the command to rename files? rename?
[05:00] <william_> AWESOME! ITs unpacking!
[05:00] <william_> Hope it works :D
[05:00] <Cntryboy> actually rename a folder
[05:00] <dasGewitter> DShepherd, ja
[05:00] <Boobler> cntryboy: mv
[05:00] <Latino> ardchoille: I think I have firestart installed because I saw it updating in a dist-upgrade yesterday. how do I know if is it working?
[05:00] <Cntryboy> is that m v?
[05:00] <Cntryboy> I thought that was move?
[05:00] <Boobler> cntryboy: no, it's mv as in a shortened version of move
[05:00] <ardchoille> Latino: run it and it'll tell you if the firewall is on or not
[05:01] <harry_> vanberge: installing Nokia PC suite doesnt work on ubuntu. even if you have WINE
[05:01] <william_> uh oh
[05:01] <bon_> my computer locks at start just before you put your user name in - here is the xorg.log   - http://pastebin.ca/68794
[05:01] <Cntryboy> I know mv means move, but why am I wanting to use a move command when I can use a rename command?
[05:01] <william_> dude where di it install too?
[05:01] <ardchoille> Latino: when you quit Firestarter, the firewall will remain running unless you specifically turn it off.
[05:01] <william_> is it in my tool bar?
[05:01] <Boobler> cntryboy: because that's the command to do it, or would u rather do a copy?
[05:01] <varsendaggr> william_, apt-get is the coolest thing ever there is a gui forntend for it called synaptic   but gui's can waste time
[05:01] <Fangz> Is there a pretty, GUI-fied way to configure GRUB?
[05:01] <varsendaggr> william_,   it should be     or you can just type gb
[05:02] <william_> Cool thanks man :D
[05:02] <Boobler> cntryboy: a mv command won't actually make a new file, it just changes the name
[05:02] <Latino> ardchoille: nvm.  I was tring to upload a pic in imageshack and it took a while, that's why I thought it was a firewall problems. but finally got thru
[05:02] <varsendaggr> william_, no prob
[05:02] <kolaje> Cntryboy; you're just moving the file to the same destination with a new filename
[05:02] <Cntryboy> so let me see if I understand, to rename a folder you use mv and to rename files you use rename or rn right?
[05:02] <william_> *Testing string compilation*
[05:02] <william_> 6 factorial = 720
[05:02] <william_> Type it where?
[05:02] <ardchoille> Latino: imageshack can take a while at times :)
[05:02] <varsendaggr> william_, in the terminal
[05:02] <Cntryboy> so will the original folder still be there?
[05:02] <Latino> i c
[05:02] <Boobler> cntryboy: no u use mv for both files and for folders, to the system they are all the same to put it simply
[05:02] <william_> This is what I get when I type GB
[05:02] <william_> *Testing string compilation*
[05:02] <william_> 6 factorial = 720
[05:03] <william_> thats it, nothing happens
[05:03] <Cntryboy> ok let me try
[05:03] <kolaje> Cntryboy;  Unless you specify a new location for the file or folder, yes it will be where it was before
[05:03] <Cntryboy> no its not there it renamed it what I wanted
[05:03] <Cntryboy> thanks boobler
[05:03] <varsendaggr> william_, most programs that you install with apt-get or dpkg get automagically installed in the /usr/bin/    (    this folder has the symlinks  )
[05:03] <Boobler> cntryboy: np
[05:04] <william_> so should IT go to that folder via the terminal then type GB ^
[05:04] <william_> ?
[05:04] <m5m> I'm stuck: upgraded to Dapper a couple of weeks ago, was having a stuck-mouse on boot problem (don't know if it's related) had to re-plug it for it to function... Now, after a random crash (system became fully unresponsive during a dvd::rip session (a perl-based app), My system will NOT load KDE/X at all... I'm in term 1 screen session irssi here, startx and sudo kdm get me to the blue font, super-low-resolution "kubuntu loading"
[05:05] <william_> It's still doing this ...
[05:05] <varsendaggr> william_, no /usr/bin   is your default place   where the terminal looks for your program files
[05:05] <william_> william@WilliamsComputer:/usr/bin$ gb
[05:05] <william_> *Testing string compilation*
[05:05] <william_> 6 factorial = 720
[05:05] <william_> oh cool
[05:05] <varsendaggr> just a sec   i don't have that installed
[05:05] <william_> So how do I get this running ?
[05:05] <prwlr> hello
[05:05] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> how can i get the last console debug output?
[05:06] <varsendaggr> william_, i don't know
[05:06] <william_> hahaha
[05:06] <william_> I type GB and it does nothing :D
[05:06] <william_> So apt get
[05:06] <william_> I'll just try it again with something else
[05:06] <william_> How do I make a short cut icon to the GB file ?
[05:06] <william_> Is there a way to do it?
[05:06] <fletch_> excuse me, but does anybody know if/where there is a boot log of ubuntu?
[05:07] <vanberge> harry_: i found something maybe
[05:07] <DShepherd> vanberge: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-list/2004-January/msg00018.html <-- this might be what happened to me.. I had the applet loaded sometime yesterday and it kept crashing.. i dont have the applet loaded anymore.. so..i stil dont know what to do :-(

[05:08] <harry_> vanberge: well how do i get it
[05:09] <vanberge> DShepherd: seems like that is probably the cause.
[05:09] <Sivik> stupid question, how do i change all the files in a folder to a different owner
[05:09] <vanberge> DShepherd: but i have no idea how to fix
[05:09] <vanberge> DShepherd: did you try #gnome
[05:09] <DShepherd> vanberge: ok
[05:09] <vanberge> Sivik: chown -R foldername username?  somethign like that
[05:09] <Sivik> vanberge: i will try that
[05:09] <vanberge> or chown -R username foldtername
[05:10] <vanberge> i mix the two up
[05:10] <DShepherd> vanberge: by the way.. have you ever used the gnome keyboard applet?
[05:10] <eps> no no no no no
[05:10] <eps> chown -R username:userground foldername  ...use correct syntax always!
[05:10] <Sivik> eps: yeah, i got it
[05:10] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> how can i get the last console debug output?
[05:11] <tourent> what package do i need to install to make the normal ubuntu installation (gnome) into kubuntu?

[05:11] <vanberge> hasn't anybody done an itunes port to linux yet?   :-)
[05:12] <vanberge> mac osx is based on darwin, so it must be doable

[05:23] <theprophet> LMAO
[05:23] <made> quinnstorm
[05:23] <thomas> don't use that.
[05:23] <thomas> no good.
[05:23] <theprophet> WHat
[05:23] <thomas> the compiz in repositories is good for use.
[05:23] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> made: yes but there are like 4 different compiz packages
[05:23] <Sivik> matheus, its better to use the nvidia that you can get via apt-get, it works easier, but whats the problem?
[05:24] <matheus> Sivik, I see in many foruns that driver works better then nvidia-glx
[05:24] <Sivik> matheus, i use the one from apt-get
[05:24] <william_> Hwo do I find Be sure to have QT > = 3.3.3?
[05:24] <Sivik> matheus, i don't think i'm using the glx
[05:24] <made> quinnstorm is the one that I used when I actually had it working correctly
[05:24] <william_> with apt get?
[05:24] <alpha255> thomas:  does compiz work for 915gm chipsets?
[05:24] <_Spire_> !xggl
[05:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about xggl
[05:24] <_Spire_> !xgl
[05:24] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[05:24] <alpha255> thomas: centrino laptop here
[05:24] <thomas> alpha255 i wouldn't know i don't use intel motherboards.
[05:24] <Sivik> matheus, ok, maybe i am
[05:25] <_Spire_> alpha255: try checking in the howto
[05:25] <matheus> Sivik, my troble is... I had install the driver... and works fine
[05:25] <alpha255> thomas: ok
[05:25] <alpha255> _Spire_: will do
[05:25] <Sivik> matheus, ok, and the problem now?
[05:25] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> made: there is compiz, compiz-kde, compiz-gnome , compiz-vanilla-gnome, and compiz-vanilla
[05:25] <made> compiz-gnome
[05:25] <matheus> Sivik, but when I reboot the system... I need to install again to work
[05:25] <Sivik> matheus, every time you reboot?
[05:26] <matheus> Sivik, yes
[05:26] <Sivik> matheus, thats stupid, not sure what your problem is
[05:26] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> made: i think thats the one that has all the cool stuff in it
[05:26] <brimble> Oh I Know...I Know...I know what his problem is
[05:26] <Sivik> alpha255, did you google it to see if it would work?
[05:26] <Sivik> brimble, would you plese inform both him and me on the problem?
[05:26] <Sivik> alpha255, or use the ubuntu forums
[05:26] <matheus> Sivik, the driver is installed... but any module isn't loading in boot time
[05:26] <made> yeah from what I have heard compiz-kde is still crapped out and vanilla if I'm correct is for gentoo..
[05:27] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> made: remember its an alpha software , so dont expect it to work, and unless u have some specific bugs to report no one will prabably listen to u
[05:27] <Sivik> matheus, not sure what the problem is, as brimble
[05:27] <alpha255> Sivik: thnx looking there right now
[05:27] <Sivik> alpha255, yw
[05:27] <thomas> asking for help is totally cool though, but asking in #ubuntu-xgl will yield better results.
[05:27] <matheus> humm... what is brimble ??
[05:27] <matheus> :)
[05:27] <_Spire_> maybe you should try asking in #ubuntu-xgl, like thomas said
[05:27] <Sivik> matheus, he was a person online
[05:28] <made> n0ctuRnaL-fieNd: even if it is alpha I should be able to install it correctly every time I attempt to do so.. I don't understand why I get different results every time I try to install
[05:28] <matheus> ok
[05:28] <Sivik> matheus, i'm not sure how to fix it
[05:28] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> made: what video card do u have?
[05:28] <Sivik> matheus, what kind of card?
[05:28] <matheus> old car geforce 2
[05:28] <matheus> card
[05:28] <Sivik> matheus, not sure
[05:29] <Sivik> matheus, i have a 6600 and it works quite well with the nvidia-glx
[05:29] <thomas> i think i heard you need gforce4 or above for glx...
[05:29] <thomas> don't ask me though... ati guy here..
[05:29] <alpha255> hat's off the ubuntu forms folks ... lots of good stuff there
[05:29] <alpha255> :)
[05:29] <Sivik> thomas, ati is nasty
[05:29] <matheus> with the nvidia driver, when is working... the diference is great
[05:29] <Sivik> thomas, especially with linux
[05:30] <thomas> Sivik they also provide hundreds of jobs in my area.
[05:30] <theprophet> lol
[05:30] <theprophet> Nice come back
[05:30] <Sivik> thomas, yucky
[05:30] <thomas> well i've never had a problem.
[05:30] <HLM> ubotu: what is xgl ?
[05:30] <Sivik> thomas: i just don't like them
[05:30] <theprophet> Yeah me neither
[05:30] <snooflecake> What is the command for symlinks (if that's how you spell it)
[05:30] <Sivik> HLM: whats your problem?
[05:31] <thomas> snooflecake ln -s
[05:31] <snooflecake> thomas; thanks a lot
[05:31] <made> n0ctuRnaL-fieNd: Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT
[05:31] <thomas> :D
[05:31] <HLM> just don't know what xgl is
[05:31] <Sivik> made: nice card
[05:31] <matheus> Sivik, I will fix the problem by never turn off the computer again ! :)
[05:31] <Sivik> !xgl
[05:31] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[05:31] <thomas> xgl is 3D accelerated drivers
[05:31] <M-> HLM, a 3D-accelerated X-windows server. It's currently alpha-grade software.
[05:31] <Moc> xgl and compiz is freaking GREAT...
[05:31] <made> Sivik: thnx
[05:31] <Sivik> HLM: xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL
[05:31] <thomas> most definitely.
[05:31] <Moc> ubuntu make it so easy to install also
[05:31] <Sivik> made: i have a 6600, how much ram?
[05:31] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> made: i might have an old driver or something , so far ive seen bunch of people have it working with nvidia cards and gnome
[05:32] <buzzed> i want to expose a port on my ubuntu box ...
[05:32] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> made: u
[05:32] <buzzed> any thoughts?
[05:32] <made> Sivik: 256
[05:32] <HLM> thanks that helps me understand
[05:32] <harry_> what application do I have to use in ubuntu  when transfering music to IPOD?
[05:32] <Moc> I wish ubuntu had better wireless support
[05:32] <thomas> buzzed for what purpose?
[05:32] <Sivik> Mox: what card?
[05:32] <thomas> harry_ banshee is the best i've seen.
[05:32] <thomas> :D
[05:32] <Sivik> made: nice
[05:32] <Moc> Sivik: My card work number 1, my problem is when I go from home to work, I have to reconfigure it.
[05:33] <thomas> harry_ there is also gtkpod as well.
[05:33] <made> Sivik, yeah it was only $155 USD
[05:33] <harry_> thomas: does ubuntu automatically detects ipod when connected?
[05:33] <M-> harry_, rythmbox works nicely for me out of the box with dapper
[05:33] <alpha255> what about rythumbox?
[05:33] <Sivik> Mox: thats weird
[05:33] <made> like a year ago
[05:33] <M-> harry_, yeah
[05:33] <alpha255> it reconzied my ipod nano
[05:33] <thomas> harry_ yeah, but whether or not you have software to deal with it is another story.
[05:33] <Sivik> Moc: what do you mean reconfigure it, like the iwconfig stuff?
[05:33] <alpha255> recognized
[05:33] <harry_> thomas: did yours was detected automatically???
[05:33] <M-> rythymbox comes with dapper.
[05:34] <chotchki> hey guys im trying to get fglrx working but when I check fglrxinfo i get the following error "Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"." however i do have the dri module enabled in the x.org file.... any ideas?
[05:34] <made> I wish Automatix would just make a script for XGL/Compiz already..
[05:34] <thomas> harry_ i use creative mp3 players.
[05:34] <buzzed> my home cumputer that is on a wireless network
[05:34] <M-> harry_, mine was (4Gen 20GB model with USB)
[05:34] <Moc> Sivik: I try to stay away from cmd line operations as possible (unless I configure a server, then it no GUI).  I am talking about the network management in ubuntu
[05:34] <alpha255> harry_:  i'm running dapper drake and yes
[05:34] <buzzed> thomas:
[05:34] <alpha255> harry_: haven't transfered music to the nano yet though
[05:34] <thomas> buzzed:
[05:34] <thomas> :D
[05:34] <Sivik> Moc: thats true even in windows
[05:34] <Moc> It has option to create multiple Profile, but when I try to switch from 1 of them, it doesn't switch, it just freeze there
[05:34] <anilruby> Minimum requirements for installing from Ubuntu 6.06LTS livecd[PC] ?
[05:34] <Moc> Sivik: Windows isn't perfect for wireless, but work better than ubuntu
[05:35] <buzzed> thomas: i want to expose a port for a tomcat server
[05:35] <_Spire_> !reqs
[05:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about reqs
[05:35] <thomas> anilruby, 128mb memory is about all you need
[05:35] <thomas> and about 2 gigs of hard drive
[05:35] <Sivik> Moc: you have to reconfigure whenever you change aps, which is normal in windows as well
[05:35] <Moc> anilruby: Get it, burn it and try it.
[05:35] <snooflecake> Ubuntu works a lot better with my wireless card <3 ubuntu
[05:35] <Sivik> snooflecake, what card?
[05:35] <_Spire_> anilruby: 3GB is even better
[05:35] <snooflecake> let me get it out of the bag
[05:36] <snooflecake> it's linksys pc smart card or something?
[05:36] <Moc> Sivik: Nah, in windows it will detect the SSID and get the right configuration
[05:36] <_Spire_> something like the "comfortable minimum"
[05:36] <thomas> yeah i'm just saying the bear minimums..
[05:36] <anilruby> thomas, but it really takes more time on my system (256MB Ram, 1.7Ghz P4)
[05:36] <stevekl> How do you navigate to network file systems in vlc's "file - quick open file" dialog?
[05:36] <frevaria> hello everybody
[05:36] <stevekl> I can't seem to get to it
[05:36] <Sivik> Moc: so in network manager all you have to do is tell it the essid and tell it dhcp, its not that difficult
[05:36] <stevekl> anyone know
[05:36] <thomas> anilruby thats plenty fine trust me, and i'm guessing you have a decent sized hard drive
[05:36] <Moc> Sivik: but everytime I come from home to work I have to do it, it getting anoying
[05:36] <anilruby> thomas, but it really takes more time on my system (256MB Ram, 1.7Ghz P4), it hangs while choosing country time!
[05:36] <snooflecake> Sivik;  "Instant Wireless Network PC Card" Linksys  (Worked really nice in Professional, but freezes in Home)
[05:36] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, are they mounted filesystems?
[05:37] <frevaria> no hello to /me ?
[05:37] <stevekl> I tried playing it from nautilus and that wouldn't work
[05:37] <stevekl> pppoe_dude, yes, and I can navigate through them in nautilus
[05:37] <Moc> not fun to remember all my 13 char hex key also
[05:37] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, do they appear in df when you type 'df' on a command line?
[05:37] <Sivik> snooflecake, thats cool
[05:37] <stevekl> pppoe_dude, yes
[05:37] <anilruby> thomas yeah, but the installation time is much more than Breezy(5.10)?
[05:37] <Sivik> Moc: oh well
[05:38] <wims> how do i check which kernel version i have
[05:38] <_Spire_> wims: uname -r
[05:38] <Sivik> man /proc/version
[05:38] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, what filesystem are you using?
[05:38] <wims> cheers
[05:38] <thomas> anilruby, maybe because it's installing in a live environment
[05:38] <william_> ok so I want to install k basic
[05:38] <william_> But I need that QT file
[05:38] <Moc> Ubuntu is great, but still need polishing on some basic feature.  Funny how Advanced stuff like XGL work, but can't get basic switch from 2 access point ;)
[05:38] <jwickard> When I used suse with gnome, there was a program I had installed that had an icon on the desktop for secure deletion of files, you just tossed the file in there and I think it used shredder.  Anyone know what program I'm talking about.
[05:38] <anilruby> thomas, then How to install in text mode?
[05:38] <william_> how do I get it to work on ubuntu?
[05:38] <frevaria> omg what are u guys talking bout????????????
[05:38] <thomas> Moc, use network manager?
[05:38] <anilruby> without live env?
[05:38] <wims> are there any 'easy' way to upgrade the kernel except configuring it and compiling ?
[05:38] <Moc> thomas: yes
[05:39] <KevinIN72> can anyone help me out with ftp
[05:39] <_Spire_> frevaria: bunch of support/ubuntu stuff
[05:39] <_Spire_> KevinIN72: depends on the issue :)
[05:39] <stevekl> pppoe_dude, actually now that I check it, it doesn't
[05:39] <stevekl> pppoe_dude, but nautilus can see it
[05:39] <thomas> anilruby, you don't.
[05:39] <pppoe_dude> frevaria, are you just flying by?
[05:39] <KevinIN72> _Spire_: how do i get it to work
[05:39] <frevaria> i can help Kevin
[05:39] <anilruby> thomas, I dont have choice, 6KBps download speed
[05:39] <Moc> anilruby: ouch
[05:39] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, are you using "connect to server"?
[05:39] <stevekl> pppoe_dude, on what? The remote machine?
[05:39] <KevinIN72> well i having trouble getting to understand how it works
[05:39] <KevinIN72> !ftp
  FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd
[05:39] <_Spire_> KevinIN72: a server or client?
[05:39] <thomas> anilruby, if you already have the disc, then you don't need the internet.
[05:40] <Moc> I am so happy since we have 10Mbits/sec download on our cable modem
[05:40] <frevaria> typeftp in command windo
[05:40] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, what type of connection do you have? samba/ssh/ftp
[05:40] <thomas> proftpd is the one you want.
[05:40] <KevinIN72> well i want to be able to access it from a client
[05:40] <frevaria> then ask for help
[05:40] <anilruby> " proftpd is the one you want." what is that?
[05:40] <frevaria> a program
[05:40] <Sivik> anilruby, its a ftp program that allows for an ftp server
[05:40] <Moc> Anyone know how to fix video playback with XGL and ATI card ?
[05:40] <_Spire_> KevinIN72: ftp client? try 'ftp' from the command line. if you want a server, I recommend proftpd or vsftpd
[05:40] <thomas> anilruby, i was talking to KevinIN72, but its an ftp server.
[05:41] <stevekl> pppoe_dude, samba
[05:41] <thomas> Moc, use very small res videos
[05:41] <thomas> :D
[05:41] <thomas> lol.
[05:41] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, so i take it remote machine is windows?
[05:41] <KevinIN72> ok
[05:41] <stevekl> pppoe_dude, no it's also ubuntu
[05:41] <Moc> Im running in 1024x768.  My video color isnt just right...
[05:41] <Moc> like if they are out of phase
[05:41] <thomas> Moc make sure you're using 24 bit.
[05:41] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, ok i recommend using ssh for things like that - its a bit easier and more secure too... i dont know much about samba tho
[05:42] <stevekl> pppoe_dude, I think we're getting off-topic...I want to know where in the directory tree nautilus mounts fileshares
[05:42] <frevaria> so i have a question. is this ubunto any better than Suse 10.1?
[05:42] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, if you want tho, you can use ssh seamlessly like its a local filesystem
[05:42] <stevekl> pppoe_dude, but I need to stream this file
[05:42] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, nautilus doesnt mount them in mtab
[05:42] <HBuzacott> frevaria, what do you want to do?
[05:42] <Moc> I am
[05:42] <mzuverink> Can anyone tell me the default location for the brown dapper gnome-splashscreen
[05:42] <bluefoxicy> I have all my e-mail in Thunderbird
[05:42] <stevekl> Ok, so where do I find it when i'm in an application and I do file > open?
[05:42] <bluefoxicy> can i migrate it to evolution?
[05:42] <frevaria> im using Suse and it does all i want
[05:42] <stevekl> Nobody knows?
[05:42] <thomas> stevekl use samba if you need streaming.
[05:42] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, nautilus uses a gnome-style mounting thing that is more like a file browser
[05:42] <stevekl> thomas, I AM using samba
[05:43] <Moc> bluefoxicy: Funny... I migrated from evolution to thunderbird ;)
[05:43] <stevekl> I know, I know, but I want to know how to get to my network shares in something other than nautilus.
[05:43] <stevekl> Does that make sense?
[05:43] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, you might need to use smbmount
[05:43] <thomas> another file manager
[05:43] <thomas> yeah i understand now
[05:43] <frevaria> evolution does not work with my IMAP server
[05:43] <ashzilla> Hi: VMserver users: Should I split my Virtual Machine into 2GB sections (It is selected by default, and I'm not sure if it's better or worse to do that)
[05:43] <DShepherd> Does anyone know what is causing this error? => <a href="http://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/DShepherd_photos/?">error</a>
[05:43] <thomas> what file manager are you using stevekl?
[05:43] <bluefoxicy> Moc:  I have never tried Evo.
[05:43] <eps> frevaria, why not?
[05:43] <stevekl> thomas, nautilus...
[05:44] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, iirc, smbmount will mount it like a local filesystem
[05:44] <frevaria> no idea - its working ok with POP
[05:44] <stevekl> I know, but I was hoping I could do it with just the GUI
[05:44] <Moc> bluefoxicy: I personally find everything in it too big.  Have to scroll and scroll all the time to see anything..
[05:44] <thomas> stevekl you want to "connect to server"
[05:44] <Moc> thunderbird allow me to view all my emails without scrolling..
[05:44] <stevekl> thomas, No...look, I already have the share mounted in nautilus, and it's working fine.
[05:44] <thomas> and you can browse to the samba directory you want to mount
[05:45] <thomas> stevekl, but you want it to mount at startup?
[05:45] <stevekl> thomas, but I want to browse it when i'm in an application like VLC and I do file > open
[05:45] <stevekl> thomas, no
[05:45] <paradizelost> hey all, anyone here who can help troubleshoot a stack trace?
[05:45] <thomas> stevekl, so mount it somewhere easy to find, manually.
[05:45] <Moc> bluefoxicy: if your email are on a IMAP server, just set your email on both software and it will syncronise.  If it Pop3 then I dont know what you can do.  Unless you dump all of them into a IMAP server
[05:45] <thomas> stevekl, you can mount anything, anywhere you want
[05:45] <stevekl> thomas, I know. I was just hoping I could do it some other way
[05:45] <thomas> stevekl, you can mount it inside of your home folder, and you can browse to it like that.
[05:46] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, you will have to use smbmount if you want it to be accessible directly for other apps
[05:46] <stevekl> I know...
[05:46] <stevekl> ok.
[05:46] <stevekl> That's all I wanted to know
[05:46] <Moc> it be nice if we could rightclick and tell a folder to be mounted, but that would requires root right I guess
[05:46] <thomas> stevekl, well basically, thinks mount in /media or /mnt. thats how it works across the board in linux.
[05:46] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, sshfs is easier tho IMO
[05:46] <HBuzacott> frevaria, then why change?
[05:46] <stevekl> You can't stream over sshfs.
[05:46] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, i can...
[05:46] <Moc> nfs
[05:46] <paradizelost> hey all, anyone here who can help troubleshoot a stack trace?
[05:46] <stevekl> Well ok I was told wrong then
[05:46] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/28/how-to-mount-a-remote-ssh-filesystem-using-sshfs/
[05:47] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, it acts like a local filesystem
[05:47] <alpha255> what's the difference between compiz-vanilla and quinn's ?
[05:47] <stevekl> It would be nice if you could mount a share in nautilus and be able to access it from any other application
[05:48] <stevekl> Withotu having to touch the terminal
[05:48] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, by stream you mean just "opening" the file locally in vlc or such right?
[05:48] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, coz sshfs will do that
[05:48] <stevekl> pppoe_dude, startting vlc and opening the file which is on a mounted network share
[05:48] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, yep sshfs will do that - and if i remember smbmount will do that too
[05:48] <stevekl> I know smbmount can do it, that's how I was doing it previously
[05:49] <alpha255> stevekl: connect to server via ssh smb nfs  will work for me
[05:49] <Cornellius> Is there a quick way to see how much free space we have on the HD ?
[05:49] <stevekl> But I was just hoping there was a point-and-click way, you know?
[05:49] <pppoe_dude> Cornellius, df -H
[05:49] <Arafangion> Hmm.
[05:49] <alpha255> stevekl: an icon shows up on the desktop and you can double click on it
[05:49] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, ya it wouldve been nice... but you'd have to copy file locally to do that in nautilus
[05:49] <thomas> stevekl, add it to fstab, and you'll only have to do it once.
[05:49] <Arafangion> Wierd, I'm loosing the first letter from every line in irssi!
[05:49] <Cornellius> pppoe_dude: Thanks
[05:50] <stevekl> I'll try that. So, what, do I ssh into the server machine and set up /etc/samba/smb.conf?
[05:51] <stevekl> Neat, the stuff I already set up with nautilus is already there
[05:51] <stevekl> that should be easy enough
[05:51] <DShepherd> Does anyone know what is causing this error? => http://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/DShepherd_photos/?action=view&current=Screenshot-4.jpg
[05:52] <paradizelost> hey all, anyone here who can help troubleshoot a stack trace?
[05:52] <alpha255> stevekl: virtual file system over ssh is nice
[05:52] <alpha255> :)
[05:53] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, hi again. You can take screenshots of just one windows with alt-print
[05:53] <stevekl> I was always told sshfs can't stream
[05:54] <HBuzacott> !tell HBuzacott about XKB
[05:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about xkb
[05:54] <thomas> !make me a sandwich
[05:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about make me a sandwich
[05:55] <thomas> !find xkb
[05:55] <ubotu> Found: libxkbfile-dev, libxkbfile1, libxkbfile1-dbg, libxkbui-dev, libxkbui1 (and 7 others)
[05:55] <thomas> those installed man?
[05:55] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, ssh with nautilus doesnt stream... but sshfs does
[05:55] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: yeah.. if my keyboard would just work
[05:56] <stevekl> IN the meantime, does anyone know how to get totem working with w32codecs?
[05:56] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, install totem-xine
[05:56] <thomas> totemxine
[05:56] <thomas> yeah.
[05:56] <stevekl> oh
[05:56] <jwickard> does anyone know what package it is that puts the secure delete icon onto the gnome desktop?
[05:56] <thomas> and then of course... install w32codecs ..
[05:56] <thomas> !restricted
[05:56] <ubotu> For lots of multimedia issues this page has the useful information you want https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats see also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - Please use free formats, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeFormats
[05:56] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, at least we know it is a problem with x. have you done a dpkg-reconfigure
[05:56] <HBuzacott> ?
[05:57] <rot> I just reinstalled my Ubuntu system and had a few problems resurecting my data. I copied it all back to my /home directory, but it has root as owner... how do I change owner for every file within /home/michael???
[05:57] <thomas> jwickard, go into gconf editor, and you can configure nautilus so that shift delete permanently deletes stuff
[05:57] <eclypse> anyone know why fglrxinfo is saying 'unable to open display :0'?
[05:57] <rot> I can't even log on right now w/ it
[05:57] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: tons of times...
[05:57] <HBuzacott> rot, sudo chmod -R 777
[05:57] <thomas> there you go
[05:57] <thomas> :D
[05:57] <pppoe_dude> rot, sudo chown -R <user> <directory>
[05:57] <TSCHAK> hello, my laptop doesn't show the "Suspend" option when shutting down... how is this determined?
[05:57] <thomas> do both.
[05:57] <TSCHAK> can I force it?
[05:58] <eclypse> anyone know why fglrxinfo is saying 'unable to open display :0'?
[05:58] <rot> pppoe_dude, will that include containing folders??
[05:58] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, is it a wireless keyboard, or a usb, or just an old fashioned connection
[05:58] <thomas> eclypse, have you rebooted yet?
[05:58] <pppoe_dude> rot, thats what the -R is for
[05:58] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: old
[05:58] <stevekl> *sigh* are the standard apt repositories down for anyone else?
[05:58] <eclypse> thomas...wtf
[05:58] <thomas> rot yes
[05:58] <rot> ok, ty
[05:58] <stevekl> 0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[05:58] <stevekl> stuck there
[05:58] <eclypse> thomas....dude omfg, thi shas been an on going problem for liek a week
[05:58] <thomas> eclypse after installing fglrx, have you rebooted yet?
[05:58] <eclypse> thomas, of COURSE lol
[05:58] <thomas> !ati
[05:58] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:58] <thomas> all i can tell you.
[05:58] <stevekl> there it goes
[05:58] <eclypse> ...
[05:58] <thomas> follow the guide.
[05:58] <eclypse> your useless
[05:58] <thomas> thanks man
[05:59] <thomas> come back soon
[05:59] <eclypse> yous is far more complex then what you may think
[05:59] <thomas> the wiki has everything you need to know
[05:59] <pppoe_dude> stevekl, they were down this morning for me
[05:59] <M-> eclypse, that's generally related to xauth. are you running fglrxinfo as another user (as opposed to the one that's running x)
[05:59] <eclypse> umm, to hell it does.
[05:59] <eclypse> M-, this problem occured when I attempted to install XGL
[05:59] <stevekl> pppoe_dude, comcast is all wonky lately so I couldn't tell if it was just me
[05:59] <eclypse> M-, its uninstalled now, however
[06:00] <M-> eclypse, weird shit.
[06:00] <thomas> eclypse did you have up gdm.conf-custom?
[06:00] <eclypse> M-:and I restored my gdm.conf and my gdm.conf-custom
[06:00] <thomas> k...
[06:00] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, What is the result of a xprop root | grep XKB?
[06:00] <pppoe_dude> rot, dont do the chmod that will change a lot of permissions that you probably dont need
[06:00] <thomas> you didn't do the whole replace /etc/X11/X link from /usr/bin/xorg/ to /usr/bin/xgl did you?
[06:01] <paradizelost> hey all, anyone here who can help troubleshoot a stack trace?
[06:01] <rot> pppoe_dude, they are set at 700 now
[06:01] <rot> pppoe_dude, should I stick with that?
[06:01] <pppoe_dude> rot, ok ;) not the 777 tho ;)
[06:01] <pppoe_dude> rot, the chown would change the owner to <user>
[06:02] <thomas> yeah rot do both chmod and chown.
[06:02] <rot> pppoe_dude, what do you suggest doing - I have the owner set right, but idk what to do for permissions
[06:02] <thomas> both with -R
[06:02] <pppoe_dude> rot, 700 allows everything for the owner nothing for others
[06:02] <kholerabbi> What's the difference between OSS and ALSA?
[06:02] <thomas> Alsa is much better :D
[06:02] <NickGarvey> alsa owns
[06:02] <thomas> lol.
[06:02] <NickGarvey> ;)
[06:02] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: a cursor
[06:02] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, ?
[06:02] <rot> pppoe_dude, should 755 be good??
[06:03] <kholerabbi> ..OK, but what about via wine, should I use the ALSA driver?
[06:03] <thomas> lots of cross platform apps use OSS, just because OSS is cross platform
[06:03] <thomas> yeah if you have alsa installed.
[06:03] <pppoe_dude> rot, yes
[06:03] <kolaje> Is there a command to see the freespace on the ubuntu filesystem and/or other partitions?
[06:03] <kholerabbi> ok, chers
[06:03] <thechris> Rot: 4=read.  2 = write, 1 = execute/list.  thus chmod 765 means owner can read/write/execute, group can read/write, and anyone can read/execute.
[06:03] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, what do you mean 'a cursor'?
[06:03] <kholerabbi> cheers*
[06:03] <kolaje> Well the diskuse in general?
[06:03] <TSCHAK> kholerabbi: ALSA is a much newer API for sound I/O.. it is overall written better, and tends to handle low latency stuff much better than OSS ever did. not to mention software mixing capabilities if your card doesn't do hardware mixing natively.
[06:03] <stevekl> Is there a good gtk app for modifying /etc/fstab?
[06:03] <NickGarvey> rot: so 755 is owner has full, everyone else can read/execute
[06:04] <thomas> Rot i'm not sure you want to give all of your write abilities to your group members.
[06:04] <NickGarvey> rot: which is what I use on most things
[06:04] <lightstar> kolaje, df -h
[06:04] <kholerabbi> TSCHAK: OK, wines default is JACK though, which isn't installed, should I use that seeing as it's the wine default?
[06:04] <thomas> no.
[06:04] <thomas> use alsa.
[06:04] <kolaje> lightstar: thanks a lot :)
[06:04] <kholerabbi> ok
[06:04] <kholerabbi> :)
[06:04] <george1> hola
[06:04] <TSCHAK> wine uses jack by default now?
[06:04] <pppoe_dude> rot, ### is just the octal representation of the permissions (as yes/no) so 755 would be 111 101 101
[06:04] <rot> yep, have it set the way it probably should be - now to see if I can log in now and quit using root for IRC
[06:04] <TSCHAK> neato, but a wee bit hard to set up
[06:05] <HBuzacott> rot: sudo chown -R <user>:<user> * && sudo chmod -R 755 (replacing <user> with your username)
[06:05] <pppoe_dude> rot, r/w/x for owner/group/all
[06:05] <NickGarvey> all about the binary ;)
[06:05] <lightstar> kolaje, np
[06:05] <rot> cool, never fully figured out how that was done
[06:05] <NickGarvey> theres 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't
[06:05] <rot> ttyl
[06:05] <thomas> eclypse HBuzacott i think he's already finished :D
[06:05] <thomas> whoops eclypse my bad.
[06:05] <eclypse> what?
[06:05] <HBuzacott> thomas, better late than never
[06:06] <thomas> sorry i forgot to erase your name.
[06:06] <HBuzacott> I just picked up the thread
[06:07] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, what is the result of a xprop root | grep XKB
[06:07] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, make that: xprop -root | grep XKB
[06:08] <fishhead> my keyboard stops working at the login screen, can anyone help?
[06:08] <Zambezi> If I write /list I just find one Ubuntu-channel, so there got to be more. Where can I find every channel on Freenode?
[06:08] <HBuzacott> fishhead, can you type in the login
[06:08] <HBuzacott> ?
[06:08] <thomas> Zambezi theres a whole pile of them.
[06:08] <thomas> thousands i imagine
[06:09] <fishhead> HBuzacott: for about half a second... I manage to get about 3 letters in before it stops
[06:09] <thechris> anyone know how i can allow users to start X11 sessions (not kdm)
[06:09] <Zambezi> thomas, I'm looking for a special XBOX-channel, but I can't find any.
[06:09] <dan> i followed this tutorial http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/coldrick?entry=java_development_on_ubuntu_part to install java on ubuntu but my problem is i still have the gnu java thingy on here still
[06:09] <dan> when i type java -version
[06:10] <dan> i dont get sun's java
[06:10] <HBuzacott> fishhead, does the keyboard work on other computers
[06:10] <thomas> zambezi.... if its a group or club or something, google it
[06:10] <dli> how to start the ivman daemon ?
[06:10] <HBuzacott> fishhead, or does it work in the termals?
[06:10] <thomas> dan
[06:10] <thomas> !java
[06:10] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java
[06:10] <fishhead> HBuzacott, it's a built in laptop keyboard
[06:10] <Zambezi> thomas, It's there a channel for xbox-scene?
[06:11] <fishhead> HBuzacott, it works in recovery mode
[06:11] <HBuzacott> fishhead, Ok. Type into a  terminal: xprop -root | grep XKB
[06:11] <CarlFK> I need to make a .deb that is just a bunch of dependencies of other debs - all the "how to make a deb" pages involve building binaries, which I don't need - any suggestions?
[06:11] <HBuzacott> fishhead, to get to the terminal press ctrl-alt-bksp
[06:12] <HBuzacott> fishhead, sorry don't do that. press
[06:12] <HBuzacott> crtl-alt-F1
[06:12] <kholerabbi> I have just plugged in a microphone - it doesn't seem to work automatically, how should I install it?
[06:13] <neotard> kholerabbi:  do you have sound?
[06:13] <thomas> zambezi look it up on their website... or google it.
[06:13] <kholerabbi> neotard: yes,
[06:13] <thomas> #ubuntu is not the index of freeNode.
[06:13] <fishhead> HBuzacott, I'm in recovery mode right now, I can't log in to my laptop... talking on my desktop
[06:14] <kholerabbi> Hehe - sorry, the microphone was turn'd off - hehe
[06:14] <HBuzacott> HBuzacott, type in in a Terminal: xprop -root | grep XKB
[06:14] <Zambezi> thomas, But I don't know where too look. This is homemade applications.
[06:14] <neotard> kholerabbi:  then you probably just need to turn it up.  double click on the speaker icon to open the mixer and turn up the volume on the mic
[06:14] <HBuzacott> And what is the result
[06:14] <neotard> kholerabbi:  in that regard it should be no different than any other operating system :)
[06:14] <kholerabbi> neotard: yes, quite, :)
[06:14] <neotard> kholerabbi:  ah :)
[06:14] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "base", "pc101", "us", "", ""
[06:14] <kholerabbi> Thanks ;0
[06:15] <fishhead> HBuzacott, xprop: unable to open display ... then it prints an options menu
[06:15] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, does your keyboard have a super/windows key?
[06:15] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: yes
[06:16] <HBuzacott> fishhead, type in sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[06:17] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, do you have a GUI loaded? If yes, open a terminal and type: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:17] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: and what?
[06:17] <HBuzacott> if not use: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg
[06:17] <thomas> Zambezi http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=xbox-scene+irc&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
[06:17] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, you've got gedit open
[06:17] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: vi.. continue
[06:18] <Frederick> folks anyone heremanaged to have a coloured konsole?
[06:18] <QMario> Thank you!!! :)
[06:19] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, k, scroll down to input device, edit the Keyboard section so that it says 	Option		"XkbModel"	"pc104"
[06:19] <fishhead> HBuzacott, it responded with: dpkg: conflicting actions --control and --remove
[06:19] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: it already says that
[06:20] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: that's weird though
[06:20] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, strange. and it also says 	Option		"XkbLayout"	"us"?
[06:20] <Zambezi> thomas, It's on another network.
[06:20] <kolaje> is there a way to write a new line to a textfile without opening the file with an editor?
[06:21] <HBuzacott> fishhead, did it print anything else out?
[06:21] <DShepherd> kolaje: echo maybe?
[06:21] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, hum
[06:21] <Frederick> folks anyone here managed to have a coloured konsole?
[06:21] <DShepherd> kolaje: echo "blah" >> file.txt
[06:22] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, what is the driver and Xbdrule?
[06:22] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: ... puzzled as I am
[06:22] <thomas> zambezi, so connect to that network
[06:22] <thomas> !irc
[06:22] <ubotu> irc is Internet Relay Chat - Ubuntu IRC clients: xchat (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/XChatHowto), gaim (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GaimHowto), Konversation (http://konversation.berlios.de/docs/) - Also see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InternetRelayChat and !guidelines

[06:22] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: kdb <-- driver, xorg.. rules
[06:22] <fishhead> HBuzacott, more menus... Type dpkg --help for help about .... ect
[06:22] <DShepherd> kolaje: sure..
[06:23] <Zambezi> thomas, If I know how to do. I have a BNC. That's causing me problem.
[06:23] <thomas> then google how to use that.
[06:24] <thomas> honestly man, this channel is for help with ubuntu. anything beyond that is asking extra.
[06:24] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: i going to to restart x. brb
[06:24] <fishhead> HBuzacott, oops... I put in a couple of extra spaces when i transposed
[06:24] <thomas> Zambezi use google.
[06:24] <Zambezi> thomas, I hate Google!
[06:25] <Zambezi> thomas, And not even you wouild find out how to add servers on my BNC. I know how to do it on Windows, but not i Linux.
[06:25] <HBuzacott> fishhead, dpkg-recon... working now?
[06:25] <fishhead> HBuzacott, I typed it in right and it returned a warning about overriding the configuration
[06:26] <HBuzacott> fishhead, have you fiddled around with /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[06:26] <thomas> Zembezi GOOGLE FOR HELP WITH BNC!
[06:26] <HBuzacott> fishhead, if that is so then the warning is fine
[06:27] <thomas> i can't put it any more simply than that
[06:27] <thomas> this is NOT the BNC help irc channel
[06:27] <fishhead> HBuzacott, no I haven't changed anything in that file... at least not intentionally
[06:28] <HBuzacott> fishhead, is it done?
[06:28] <fishhead> HBuzacott, shall i try to reboot it now?
[06:28] <HBuzacott> fishhead, yup
[06:28] <HBuzacott> yes*
[06:28] <thechris> i would like the following:  twinview.  kdesu.  ability to start X11 servers.
[06:29] <thechris> any way to get these working?
[06:30] <thechris> X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
[06:30] <fishhead> HBuzacott, still no luck...
[06:30] <HBuzacott> fishhead, you have restarted already?
[06:30] <HBuzacott> fishhead, or did you just restart x
[06:30] <HBuzacott> ?
[06:31] <fishhead> HBuzacott, i turned the computer off after exiting the recovery session, then back on
[06:32] <sunco> hello....
[06:32] <HBuzacott> fishhead, so the keyboard works for a very short time?
[06:33] <fishhead> HBuzacott, yes it is a strange issue... it seems like the keyboard stops working at the exact same time that little drum sound plays at the login screen
[06:33] <sunco> my name is Sunco ..nice to meet you.
[06:33] <thomas> ......
[06:33] <fishhead> HBuzacott, I can get a few letters in. but not fast enough to actually log in... the mouse still works though
[06:34] <HBuzacott> fishhead, try pressing ctrl-alt-F1
[06:34] <HBuzacott> fishhead, it should go to a terminal
[06:34] <HBuzacott> does it goto the terminal
[06:34] <HBuzacott> ?
[06:35] <fishhead> HBuzacott, at the login screen?
[06:36] <shreev2k2> hi all. quick question. I hv here a program called obconf which requires a lib called libobrender.so.1 . Now, this lib is present in /opt/lib(actually libobrender.so.1 is a symlink to libobrender.so.2.1), which ldconfig doesnt know about. I entered /opt/lib in ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig, but 'ldconfig -p' still doesnt show libobrender.so.1 though it does show libobrender.so and libobrender.so.0. what am I doing wrong?
[06:36] <McScruff> whats a Network Radio-Ethernet port?
[06:36] <HBuzacott> fishhead, yes. Just try it
[06:37] <fishhead> HBuzacott, it went to a terminal then my keyboard quit
[06:38] <thechris> how to start X11 sessions as a user?  startx didn't work.  sudo startx is a bad idea.  what gives
[06:38] <HBuzacott> fishhead, as in didn't work? so you couldn't type?
[06:39] <fishhead> HBuzacott, I couldn't type
[06:39] <HBuzacott> k
[06:39] <fishhead> HBuzacott, the only button that works is the power button which starts the shutdown dialog
[06:39] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: hey.. something is weird. the xprop -root | grep XKB gives me "base", "pc101", "us", "", "" but it says 104 in the xorg.conf file
[06:40] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, that is what I was think was weird
[06:40] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, what is the Identifier for the Keyboard. scroll down right to the bottom. to the "server layout". Is the same Identifier listed under Input device?
[06:40] <HBuzacott> fishhead, so how did you type in the dpkg-recon... command before?
[06:41] <fishhead> HBuzacott, i was in recovery mode
[06:41] <redblades> Hi, you all probably know in Windows XP how simple it is to check computer stats un My Computer.
[06:41] <HBuzacott> fishhead, ok
[06:41] <redblades> How do I check these things in Linux?
[06:41] <thomas> system monitor...
[06:41] <thomas> its in the menus.
[06:42] <HBuzacott> !tell fishhead about recovery
[06:42] <redblades> Could you point me in a more specific direction?
[06:42] <HBuzacott> HBuzacott, does that help?
[06:43] <HBuzacott> fishhead, does that help?
[06:43] <thomas> system -> administration -> system monitor...
[06:43] <redblades> Got it
[06:43] <timboteam> I am trying out ubuntu on my computer
[06:43] <fishhead> HBuzacott, does what help?
[06:43] <redblades> Good for you
[06:43] <timboteam> and I can't figure out how to connect to my wireless network
[06:43] <jed> can anyone recommend a good filemanager for fluxbox? thanks
[06:44] <thomas> yes... horray for me..
[06:44] <HBuzacott> fishhead, open the msg from ubotu
[06:44] <HBuzacott> !recovery
[06:44] <ubotu> To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system"
[06:44] <thechris> jed:  rox?
[06:44] <timboteam> Can anyone help me?
[06:44] <thomas> rox is a good filemanager. might be too flashy for fluxbox though.
[06:44] <fishhead> HBuzacott, ohh... I'll take a look at it now
[06:44] <jed> thechris: tnx
[06:45] <czer323> I've got an uber old computer that I want to put something graphical onto other than win95 for my kid.  It's an old gateway 133mhz, 16mb and I was able to put a slightly larger hd into it.  I can't seem to get the ubuntu cd started, it totall bombs.  Knoppix was able to start, but coudln't start KDE or XFCE.  I haven't tried WindowMake
[06:45] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, the xprop -root | grep should give you the same values as in xorg.confg
[06:45] <HBuzacott> -g
[06:45] <TSCHAK>  does anyone know what to modify to get my laptop to be able to use the sleep/suspend acpi scripts?
[06:45] <timboteam> Can anyone help me out?
[06:46] <shreev2k2> anyone? ldconfig is certainly acting weird. it seems to quietly avoiding one of the symlinks that I've created.
[06:46] <czer323> !justask
[06:46] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:46] <Sir_Brizz> hah
[06:46] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: they are not the same
[06:46] <czer323> !help
[06:46] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[06:46] <timboteam> Well I did, and no one responded
[06:46] <Sir_Brizz> !justask is awesome
[06:46] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: weird..
[06:46] <czer323> lol, yeah i think it's funny.  I just entered, what's up?
[06:46] <timboteam> I can't figure out how to detect and connect to my wireless network
[06:46] <DShepherd> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75052.html <- i found this... HBuzacott. I havent tried it yet though
[06:46] <timboteam> I'm just trying out ubuntu for the first time
[06:46] <redblades> ACtually, the System Monitor gives some numbers that seem different to what I previously had read on... other systems.
[06:46] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, I'll have a look
[06:47] <DShepherd> where is xprop actually getting this info from?
[06:47] <GTroy_> how do you start open ssh?
[06:47] <czer323> timboteam> yeah, i know what you mean.  Check out NetworkManager.  It's great.  I use wireless too.
[06:47] <czer323> !networkmanager
[06:47] <ubotu> networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager
[06:47] <redblades> I was fairly certain I had 512M of ram, but now, it says 501M
[06:47] <bimberi> GTroy_: client or server?
[06:47] <DShepherd> GTroy_: it should auto start after install
[06:47] <GTroy_> server
[06:47] <timboteam> !networkmanager
[06:47] <ubotu> networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager
[06:47] <DShepherd> bimberi: shouldnt it?
[06:47] <fishhead> HBuzacott, downloading the CD now... thanks for your help... I'll keep you updated if you are still around by the time this file downloads
[06:48] <bimberi> GTroy_: see DShepherd's reply :)
[06:48] <czer323> Network manager gives back that ability to just select the wireless network and use it.  Rather than use the menus.  Check the link on it and try to follow it's isntructions to install.  Check back if you still have issues with it.
[06:48] <DShepherd> GTroy_: have you installed the server yet?
[06:48] <GTroy_> no
[06:48] <lufis> Is there a meta package which will download all I need to run xfce?
[06:48] <GTroy_> how?
[06:48] <timboteam> Hmm
[06:48] <HBuzacott> fishhead, probably will still be here. Or away. Either way :)
[06:48] <timboteam> czer323: How do you suppose I will get this onto my laptop from this pc
[06:48] <timboteam> when the laptop doesn't have internet
[06:48] <DShepherd> GTroy_: openssh-server
[06:49] <jed> can i install the gentoo filemanager in ubuntu?
[06:49] <timboteam> the laptop being the one that is running linux right now
[06:49] <DShepherd> GTroy_: apt-get that
[06:49] <GTroy_> ok
[06:49] <czer323> timboteam> no chance you can connect it directly with a cable?
[06:49] <eFoX> ok i seriously give up
[06:49] <bimberi> lufis: xubuntu-desktop brings in a complete xfce4 setup
[06:49] <lufis> Bimberi: Hm, thanks
[06:49] <GTroy_> DSheperd installed
[06:49] <eFoX> i dont understand WHY my wireless would work one day...and then the next day it does not when nothing was changed
[06:49] <GTroy_> how do I start the daemon?
[06:49] <timboteam> Like an ethernet cable?
[06:50] <DShepherd> GTroy_: it should autostart after installation
[06:50] <GTroy_> ok, thanks DSheperd
[06:50] <DShepherd> GTroy_: ok
[06:50] <czer323> timboteam> yeap.    I've been using for a few years now and it still gives me headaches.  Have you tried resetting the router to factory defaults and setting up from scratch?  That usually takes care of things with routers.
[06:51] <b166er> How can Mplayer cannot be installed under Dapper ??
[06:52] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, there are some bugs open with KBD issues. Does that message in your screenshot popup at startup?
[06:52] <timboteam> I can't tell which version/file to get from this network manager site
[06:52] <DShepherd> b166er: do you have multiverse installed?
[06:52] <czer323> !networkmanager
[06:52] <b166er> DShepherd,  yes
[06:52] <ubotu> networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager
[06:52] <czer323> Timboteam> let me look real quikc.
[06:52] <timboteam> Okee
[06:53] <DShepherd> sudo aptitude install mplayer should install mplayer
[06:53] <DShepherd> HBuzacott:yeah it did.. but I dont remember if it still does
[06:53] <Zambezi> I'm trying to connect to Efnet, but it won't work. Isn't irc.efnet.nl:6667 a channel?
[06:53] <Zambezi> *networlk
[06:54] <b166er> says it there, but probably obsolete ect..
[06:54] <b166er> i cannot install it
[06:54] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: http://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/DShepherd_photos/?action=view&current=Screenshot-4.jpg
[06:54] <FarrisG> can anyone help me troubleshoot gotmail? Supposedly the package in dapper works, but I'm still getting errors with it
[06:54] <czer323> Timboteam> Which part of the help do you have issues with?  a particular item?
[06:54] <HBuzacott> DShepherd, there is one that sounds like your problem, http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1089 and it says resolved
[06:54] <b166er> !mplayer
[06:54] <ubotu> No fonts in mplayer? Install mplayer fonts. Codecs: see !codecs
[06:54] <timboteam> Well it gives a link to an ftp of where to get network manager
[06:55] <timboteam> but there are a million files and folders, i'm not sure what I need to get
[06:55] <dli> which package for acroread?
[06:55] <czer323> timboteam> nah, you went too far.  Check out the original page.  It has the instructions right there.  It talks about having Dapper.
[06:55] <gore_> oh thank god
[06:55] <gore_> haha
[06:55] <DShepherd> HBuzacott: where is xprop getting is information from?
[06:56] <b166er> i have activated the repos...and mplayer is 'not' there
[06:56] <thechris> apt-get update
[06:56] <timboteam> !networkmanager
[06:56] <ubotu> networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager
[06:57] <DShepherd> b166er: it is.. check your source.list again
[06:57] <DShepherd> b166er: do a apt-get update after that
[06:58] <eFoX> czer323: well..i dont think its my router this time. when i do 'iwlist' it says no scan results
[06:58] <timboteam> I see czer323
[06:58] <timboteam> I am attempting to install it
[06:58] <eFoX> i had that problem yesterday, and i corrected it with the aid of a how-to...today..it was working..and now...its not..
[06:59] <b166er> my sources.list is by default , plus the w32codecs  source...         , all repos have been 'checked'    , it list 18 321 packets' , and the update has been made
[06:59] <b166er> hence, my problem
[06:59] <gore_> can I bug someone for some X11 config help
[06:59] <gore_> is there an auto detection similar to what happens when you install ubuntu to begin with
[07:00] <timboteam> czer323: It says I have to log out and back in again.   Have you tried to install Networkmanager?  Can you see it in the list?
[07:01] <Zambezi> .
[07:02] <hyperspace> steev-dell: apt-get install --reinstall locales then the english language packs i believe
[07:02] <b166er> DShepherd,  out of ideas.  mplayer, is just 'not there' and its a fresh installl of dapper..if yo uthink its the sources... you can show me yours, and i'll compare..otherwise..
[07:02] <hyperspace> i had the problem on a few xen virtual servers earlier today
[07:02] <steev-dell> hyperspace: what are the english language packs?
[07:02] <DShepherd> !sources
[07:03] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto and !easysource
[07:03] <thoreauputic> !info mplayer
[07:03] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In repository multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 3265 kB, installed size 7916 kB
[07:03] <DShepherd> b166er: check those..
[07:03] <gore_> is there something that automatically creates a new xorg.conf file?
[07:03] <Zambezi> Does anyone know /addserver? I don't want to addnetwork. I would like to show them, and delete them!
[07:03] <hyperspace> steev-dell: not sure let me see if i can find their names
[07:03] <rob_p> gore_, Try, 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' at the command prompt.
[07:03] <DShepherd> !tell b166er about sources
[07:03] <eFoX> czer323: I do have network manager, but i find it to be rather lacking, because it doesnt always connect. And even when my wireless WAS working, I couldnt get a list of networks seen by the wifi card. What im doin now is re-doing the how-to and see if that fixes it
[07:03] <thoreauputic> gore_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:03] <eFoX> it sucks cuz i might not always have an ethernet connection
[07:03] <steev-dell> eFoX: make sure the interface isn't set in /etc/network/interfaces
[07:04] <czer323> Timboteam> np man.  Just remember, i'm just a regular guy like everyone else who's just been messing around a bit longer.  Maybe in the future, you'll come back and help people too. ;)
[07:04] <timboteam> Perhaps, but for now I still have to figure this out
[07:04] <gore_> rob_p,  yah but unfortunately
[07:04] <timboteam> It isn't really connecting
[07:04] <eFoX> steev-dell: if i remove EVERYTHING from there, would that be a good idea ?
[07:04] <gore_> I dont know the specifications to the card
[07:04] <HiColonic> Howdy all.
[07:04] <steev-dell> eFoX: i just commented them out myself
[07:04] <timboteam> It won't connect to my network, though now it sees it
[07:04] <eFoX> steev-dell: k, let me try.
[07:04] <gore_> its not an automatic process which I hope it would be
[07:05] <L-----D> HiColonic: yo
[07:05] <steev-dell> it will also depend on the card itself
[07:05] <hyperspace> steev-dell: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall locales language-pack-en-base language-pack-en
[07:05] <hyperspace> that might be it
[07:05] <timboteam> I'm not sure which configurations to choose when I'm typing in the wep key and such
[07:05] <czer323> eFox> Gotcha.  And you've got the computer and the wireless right next to eachother?
[07:05] <hyperspace> that is if en is your language pack
[07:05] <HiColonic> I'm new to Ubuntu...just got my first system up today.  I was wondering if anyone knows about how long it takes a 500 gig drive to partition to ext3?  Is 1.5 hours too long to wait?
[07:05] <spikeb_> hmmm
[07:05] <Yonda> Is there any way to run gnome and view and control the desktop via SSH?
[07:06] <spikeb_> HiColonic: well, did you wait that long and have it complete?
[07:06] <hyperspace> tunnel vnc over ssh?
[07:06] <spikeb_> Yonda: yes
[07:06] <TSCHAK> Yonda, either tunnel VNC over SSH, or use NX.
[07:06] <kazil> good mornin`
[07:06] <TSCHAK> NX tends to work better, but it doesn't control your main display.
[07:06] <HiColonic> No, I stopped it, because I thought it hung.  It's an External USB drive I plan on using as a backup drive for other comps on the network.
[07:06] <eFoX> czer323: ya. router, desktop and laptop are all on the same table. At least right now. My cables arent that long.
[07:06] <czer323> Timboteam> retype that last bit.  I keep resetting my X11 session.  I have GOT to figure out this keyboard combo.
[07:06] <HiColonic> Then I installed gparted and I'm doing it again.
[07:06] <kaizoku> I keep getting a "MP BIOS bug: error:8254 Timer not connected to IO-APIC
[07:07] <kaizoku> I keep getting a "MP BIOS bug: error:8254 Timer not connected to IO-APIC" every time I try to install ubuntu
[07:07] <timboteam> Czer323: I'm still having some trouble getting into my network
[07:07] <timboteam> network manager finds it, but wont connect
[07:07] <HiColonic> But since there is no percentage telling me the progress of the format, I thought I'd check and see what kind of wait time I'm looking at.
[07:07] <kaizoku> I keep getting a "MP BIOS bug: error:8254 Timer not connected to IO-APIC" every time I try to install ubuntu
[07:07] <czer323> eFoX> Ah yeah, the passowrd thing is really dependant on the router.  You've probably set some type of Encryption on the router.  YOu'll need to log into it and check if it's WEP or WPA.
[07:08] <kaizoku> I can't find anything in the wiki, or anywhere else
[07:08] <czer323> eFox> let me think for a minute.
[07:08] <eFoX> czer323: wep
[07:08] <dooglus> Yonda: FreeNX is very good
[07:08] <czer323> Timboteam> Ah yeah, the passowrd thing is really dependant on the router.  You've probably set some type of Encryption on the router.  YOu'll need to log into it and check if it's WEP or WPA.
[07:08] <kaizoku> I keep getting a "MP BIOS bug: error:8254 Timer not connected to IO-APIC" every time I try to install ubuntu
[07:08] <kaizoku> I can't find anything in the wiki, or anywhere else
[07:08] <Yonda> dooglus, thanks ill look into that
[07:08] <kleedrac> Is there a way to automatically cycle through desktop wallpapers?
[07:09] <timboteam> I know that it is a WEP, and I know the key
[07:09] <eFoX> steev-dell: i just commented everything in /etc/network/interfaces and restarted and now after i logged in..it froze
[07:09] <steev-dell> hmm
[07:09] <dooglus> Yonda: but if you want to control your home desktop, use - um - x11vnc I think it's called
[07:09] <timboteam> But there are other preferences I don't know, like hex things and shared key or whatever
[07:09] <kaizoku> I keep getting a "MP BIOS bug: error:8254 Timer not connected to IO-APIC" every time I try to install ubuntu
[07:09] <kaizoku> I keep getting a "MP BIOS bug: error:8254 Timer not connected to IO-APIC" every time I try to install ubuntu
[07:09] <Yonda> dooglus, ok thanks
[07:09] <kaizoku> I can't find anything in the wiki, or anywhere else
[07:09] <kazil> anybody seen cwillu?
[07:10] <dooglus> Yonda: yes, x11vnc.  It's slower than NX, but it lets you control an existing desktop session, whereas NX creates a new login
[07:10] <czer323> timboteam> yeah, just try hex first.  if that doesn't work, just keep trying.  again that's really up to the router.
[07:10] <kaizoku> does anyone know!!!?!?!?
[07:10] <kaizoku> I'm ripping my hair out here!!
[07:10] <garryF> I do not know
[07:10] <kaizoku> ok, thanks
[07:10] <gore_> its asking me to enter the amount of memory in kb
[07:10] <gore_> uuugh
[07:10] <gore_> this is not very automatic
[07:11] <Yonda> dooglus, excellent, sounds like what i want
[07:11] <dooglus> Yonda: freenx isn't available in the ubuntu repositories, but if you add the kanotix repositories, you can install it from there.
[07:12] <ddrj> hey guys out of these 4, which is the latest? Hoary, Breezy, Warty and Dapper?
[07:12] <Xen> does anyone know how i can unrar a rar file that requires a password to view? I already have the apps for unraring
[07:12] <kleedrac> ddrj: dapper
[07:12] <ddrj> Dapper right?
[07:12] <DShepherd> ddrj: your idle
[07:12] <Madpilot> ddrj, Dapper
[07:12] <dooglus> Yonda: the line for /etc/apt/sources.list is: "deb http://debian.tu-bs.de/project/kanotix/unstable/ sid nx"
[07:12] <kazil> ppl, whats the procedure to make ubuntu play music and video files? does it have any codecs in it, or i need to install them, or ubuntu doesn`t need codecs? for mp3, says this is not an audio stream file or smth..
[07:12] <ddrj> haha thanks guys :)
[07:12] <DShepherd> he idle
[07:12] <Yonda> dooglus, cheers
[07:12] <DShepherd> he's*

[07:13] <steveeeeee> kazil, have you tried installing codecs from automatix?
[07:13] <DShepherd> ddrj: yup
[07:13] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell kazil about mp3
[07:13] <ddrj> oh i SHOULD idle haha ok
[07:13] <dooglus> kazil: that's what you want to read - what ubotu just said
[07:13] <czer323> eFox> My brain isnt' working up to par right now.  But, let me just recap.  The card can see the network, but Networkmanager doesn't?
[07:13] <Xen> does anyone know how i can unrar a rar file that requires a password to view? I already have the apps for unraring
[07:13] <Lynoure> kazil: I think kaffeine plays non-restricted formats by default. Ogg ect.
[07:13] <HedgeMage> kazil: free formats, like ogg vorbis, are already supported... copyright/patent-laden ones are a little extra work, see the links ubotu just gave you
[07:13] <Madpilot> steveeeeee, automatix is not good to recommend
[07:13] <DShepherd> ddrj: are you telling me you know all the names of the distros but dont know the latest?
[07:13] <ddrj> no i was googling on how to install ubuntu from windows
[07:13] <spockboy> howdy all. just set up IrDA via a USB dongle, and i'm a bit confused. i did an `irattach irda0 -s', now how do i actually communicate with that device in a serial fashion? (eg. `echo ATZ > /dev/ttySX')
[07:14] <kazil> thx everybody.
[07:14] <steveeeeee> Madpilot, haha i've heard you guys say that often here, but why?
[07:14] <eFoX> czer323: the card cannot. At least not now. It did earlier today. And networkmanager also cannot see it.
[07:14] <ddrj> and they said use some other distro, but i googled and those 4 came up
[07:14] <kazil> the probl is that i have about 20gigz of mp3
[07:14] <ddrj> and i didn't know which one it was
[07:14] <q_a_z_steve> why is it I can't install Breezy? It never works. I'm still wanting to use this because it's the only CD ver. I've gotten down yet.
[07:14] <Madpilot> steveeeeee, because we've seen too many people say, "I installed automatix and now <something> is broken..." - there are other reasons, but that's the main one
[07:14] <thoreauputic> steveeeeee: because a lot of us spent hours trying to fix systems for people who used automatix
[07:14] <DShepherd> ddrj: ok
[07:14] <ddrj> ok guys, here's another one coming at you from supern00b :) i'm on winxp right now, and i'm trying to install ubuntu to my hd through GRUB, problem is i think i loaded my menu.lst wrong because it says error 17 cannot mount partition
[07:14] <dooglus> kazil: ubuntu will play mp3s just fine if you install the right codec.  see ubotu's URL about RestrictedFormats
[07:14] <steveeeeee> lol i see
[07:15] <eFoX> czer323: i made a script to connect and it has worked good all day today. But then it just stopped working. I mean it goes through the procedure but when it gets to the dhcp it doesnt work at tht point
[07:15] <ddrj> this is right right?
[07:15] <ddrj> title Ubuntu
[07:15] <ddrj> kernel (hd0,0)/boot/linux vga=normal ramdisk_size=14972 root=/dev/rd/0 rw --

[07:15] <ddrj> from my menu.lst file for grub
[07:15] <KenSentMe> !tell ddrj about paste
[07:15] <czer323> eFox> You don't happen have any other OSs on the computer do you?  Perhaps a rogue installation of windows to see if it's just the OS acting up or not?
[07:15] <kazil> dooglus: ok! i just want to play some funky music :) i mean listen to it :)
[07:15] <ddrj> ahhh thanks, heh sorry about that :P

[07:16] <eFoX> czer323: i have XP on this as well. Oh wait...hm...what if...gimme a sec..let me try something
[07:16] <KenSentMe> Is ubotu changed btw, when i tell someone about something i used to get a message from ubotu, now i don't anymore?
[07:17] <ddrj> because i don't understand why i get an error 17 from grub, when my menu.lst file is written just like ubuntu community online recommended it :\
