[15:29] <mclovin> can anyone link me to a 'gsambad' how to?
[15:30] <chimp> Question, from the command line how do i restart/turn off the pc?
[15:30] <bkar> what is the command line to check current resolution?
[15:30] <Starnestommy> chimp: sudo shutdown -h now
[15:30] <wyclif> the Adobe Flash player (non-free) does not install.  can anyone tell me what I can use to play Flash content?
[15:30] <brobostigon> chimp: sudo shutdown -h now
[15:30] <Starnestommy> chimp: or -r instead of -h for reboots
[15:30] <chimp> Thanks, but why does it need sudo?
[15:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere: It is, but there was a way to use the intel setup.. let me see if I have that link.. then I will be gone again..
[15:30] <wyclif> or is unavailable for Feisty
[15:30] <brobostigon> chimp: it just does.
[15:31] <chimp> What i mean is in the gui, you don't need admin
[15:31] <brobostigon> chimp: no idea
[15:31] <Starnestommy> wyclif: /msg ubotu flash should show a couple links
[15:31] <wyclif> what I'd like to know is why a something as basic as Flash won't work in Ubuntu?
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere: Mepis people figured away around it on their setup.. they are debian based (used to be ubuntu) so you may find useful info in there.
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere: http://www.mepis.org/node/13776
[15:32] <bkar> wyclif that is a fairly recent issue,
[15:32] <wyclif> ok bkar i did not know this was recent
[15:32] <yoluca> hi
[15:32] <yoluca> trying to connect wireless i get Enter password for default keyring to unlock ... what will be the password ? i tried everything :) none worked any idea
[15:32] <bkar> wyclif that it broke? yes, fairly recent, previous ones worked
[15:33] <bkar> yoluca-> umm i have not come across tha issue, keyring need to be unlock? which ubuntu version doyou have?
[15:34] <yoluca> bkar 7.10
[15:34] <AutoMatriX> hi folks, after an package update, I seem to have lost my 4 desktops ... what should I do to repair that ?
[15:34] <bkar> yoluca-> its kind of odd, even in a liveCD 7.10 i used, it never asked for the keyring..
[15:35] <yoluca> bkar what would it be the keyring ? or how do i disable this feature
[15:35] <bkar> yoluca-> am curious, what are you clicking? how did you get there to get this prompt?
[15:36] <bkar> yoluca, thats why i was asking since i have not come across this keyring problem.
[15:37] <bkar> yoluca i normally edits /etc/network/interfaces file and enable the interface via ifdow xx; ifup xx
[15:37] <yoluca> bkar just hit connect to the wireless network
[15:38] <^root^> :'(
[15:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere: the hdaintel link.. last line   options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL        I would try   options snd-hda-intel model=auto    per the help page for Mepis
[15:39] <bkar> yoluca umm you have checked roaming or not?
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere: If that doesnt work.. try figuring out your model.. that seems the only sticking point
[15:39] <yoluca> thats it works
[15:39] <chimp> hey, if using remote desktop, is it possible to send key presses down it?
[15:39] <bkar> yoluca what works?
[15:39] <chimp> so that the key presses don't affect my computer, but will affect theirs
[15:40] <yoluca> bkar i changed system open  key to shared key and works :)
[15:40] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: what kind of laptop do you have?
[15:40] <yoluca> bkar my wireless connection :)
[15:41] <bkar> yoluca ahh, related to wep or wpa?
[15:41] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: what model is your laptop....
[15:41] <bkar> yoluca so it works now, problem resolved right?

  I've used synaptic to install it, found a couple of sites with config instructions, but it's not working.
[15:58] <Tyczek> IndyGunFreak, oh net works
[15:58] <zenwhen> hiding your SSID is going to do little to add to the security of your network. As a stopgap, I would just not hide it.

[16:01] <Tyczek> well... i'll try package

[16:02] <keary> K-Dawg
[16:02] <Tyczek> Darkmystere, adjust channels?
[16:02] <IndyGunFreak> Tyczek: when you have a problem like that, run the program from terminal, and see if an error gets spit out when it closes, so basically, in a terminal, type "pidgin" w/o quotes, let the program start, and close, then see the error the terminal produces when pidgin closes
[16:02] <Darkmystere> tyczek: huh?

[16:11] <IndyGunFreak> if i understand correctly

[16:11] <wyclif> anyone know where the Skype package went?  It's not in Synaptic anymore...I thought it was yesterday when I checked
[16:12] <Pelo> IndyGunFreak, simion314 in anycase firestarter is just a frontend for iptables/netfilter,  it's not the actual firewall , you don'T need to have it running for the firewall to work,  only if you want to monitor or make frequent changes
[16:12] <sandr-> wyclif: just install it from the skype website
[16:12] <Darkmystere> capture L and R Are 100%
[16:12] <IndyGunFreak> Pelo: right, i don't use firestarter but that was my basic understanding of it.. i use a hardware firewall and just dont' mess w/ firestarter
[16:12] <Juan> hey
[16:12] <wyclif> i thought there was a specific Ubuntu package
[16:13] <Darkmystere> i dont have a headphone channel
[16:13] <Juan> are there any packages or repos for mono-paint?

[16:13] <Pelo> Juan, did you check in synaptic ? or maybe try in www.getdeb.net
[16:13] <IndyGunFreak> Pelo: i hate software firewalls(at least under windows i did).. i prefer the security of a hardware firewall, and just ditch any software FW
[16:14] <simion314> Pelo: i will edit the Ip tables when i have more time to try and experiment with them, i use firestarter just to share the internet
[16:14] <alpaco> which is the default session in ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)? Gnome or "run xClient script"?
[16:14] <Tyczek> Darkmystere, show me your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[16:14] <PurpZeY> janelle: I believe that it's. Just take the most recent kernel version on the CD.
[16:14] <Pelo> janelle, generic is basicaly a meta that will automaticlay select the correct one,  it is your best option

[16:16] <PurpZeY> neopsyche: NDISwrapper allows you to use a windows driver to power your wifi card. But as I understand it, it shouldn't be necessary with the restricted drivers manager.

[16:25] <Pelo> Innomen, there is aproblem with the flash package in the repos, get the tar from the adobe site
[16:25] <rodrigo> tumbleweed__ : hey ... can you give me a help? i just messed up my graphics
[16:25] <IndyGunFreak> !alternate | Shadow98 of course, some pc's just can't use the live CD for whatever reason, thats why there's this
[16:25] <ubotu> Shadow98 of course, some pc's just can't use the live CD for whatever reason, thats why there's this: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD.  It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal
[16:25] <rodrigo> ok... anyone knows if theres a autodetect graphics that work?
[16:26] <Shadow98> Question would this make a difference I did get the alt cd to do a complete install and said install completed reboot and that disk was burned at 10x
[16:26] <Innomen> well that was disappointingly final
[16:26] <tumbleweed__> rodrigo : what happened?
[16:26] <Innomen> x86 only
[16:26] <Innomen> is there a way to get flash on an i386 machine?
[16:27] <rodrigo> tumbleweed__ : i just updated the drivers for nvidia card... and ended up with a vesa generic and plug and play screen... im on 640x800
[16:27] <PurpZeY> Innomen: Install the tar from the adobe website....At least that's what I thought.
[16:27] <IndyGunFreak> Shadow98: don't understand what you're saying...
[16:27] <tumbleweed__> oh
[16:27] <tumbleweed__> dunno what to say
[16:27] <tumbleweed__> :/
[16:27] <IndyGunFreak> Shadow98: the thing is, burning slower is always better.

[16:34] <PurpZeY> bluefish: Either way you should be able to double click on it and then drag drop stuff to it
[16:34] <bluefish> but it wont appear
[16:34] <bluefish> it doesnt do anything when i insert a blank cd

[16:37] <mred> hi guys
[16:37] <Innomen> ok, got it, thanx guys.
[16:37] <mred> i'm trying to get Freemat installed on Ubuntu
[16:37] <mred> http://freemat.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
[16:37] <IndyGunFreak> freemat?
[16:37] <bkar> johndyer-> you can  gnome-session &  but be careful now
[16:38] <mred> is there any package available ?
[16:38] <Innomen> i click check for updates, it hasent found anything in months, is that ok?
[16:38] <mred> dont wanna go throught the compilation
[16:38] <Starnestommy> Innomen: which version of ubuntu is is?
[16:38] <Starnestommy> *is it
[16:38] <bkar> what command to reconfigure desktop?  mine has gone whacko, I can not alt+tab to switch windows and windows are locked in one position..
[16:38] <Innomen> 7.1 i belive
[16:38] <IndyGunFreak> mred: doesn't look like it.
[16:39] <bkar> so if i have one app covering the whole page, i can not alt+tab to my xterm
[16:39] <PurpZeY> bkar: Sounds like you might just want to restart compiz, right click on the blue arrow in your notification area and write "restart windows manager"
[16:40] <johndyer> bkar: that worked, sort of.  How can I make it so I login the same desktop I have upstairs?
[16:40] <bkar> PurpZeY-> am not that high tech, i dont have 3d video..hehe
[16:40] <PurpZeY> bkar: I take that back...;)...
[16:40] <Innomen> well i'll ask again later thanx guys :)
[16:40] <bkar> johndyer i have this problem because i did use  gnome-session  so be careful
[16:40] <PurpZeY> bkar: You could do dpkg-reconfigure but, that will reset all of the settings...rather invasive.
[16:41] <bkar> PurpZeY-> i have a copy of my old xorg.conf  i reloaded it already
[16:41] <johndyer> bkar: have what problem,  just got into chan, didnt see your original issue
[16:41] <bkar> what command to reconfigure desktop?  mine has gone whacko, I can not alt+tab to switch windows and windows are locked in one position..
[16:41] <bkar> so if i have one app covering the whole page, i can not alt+tab to my xterm
[16:41] <bkar> that johndyer
[16:42] <PurpZeY> bkar: If you want to do it, it's sudo dpkg-reconfigure (I am 99% positive)
[16:42] <johndyer> ah,  I see, well I think I just messed something up.  I started gnome with gnome seesion but then I closed the terminal widow that I spawned that from and now I just have a wall paper
[16:42] <pipehh> Anyone know if I can install the cube if I have this video card VIA/S3G?
[16:42] <mred> hmm  what does this mean dpkg-source: unrepresentable changes to source
[16:42] <bkar> PurpZeY-> i may just have to, but I suspect this is related to gnome session, i was remoted in and use gnome-session
[16:43] <PurpZeY> bkar: Got it.
[16:43] <ubuntu_> any
[16:44] <bkar> am screwed, i can not move any windows around, nor alt+tab to switch
[16:45] <Starnestommy> bkar: using compiz or metacity>
[16:45] <rodrigo> tumbleweed__ Ã: hey... it did fix the keyboard... but not the graphics... what was that command again? I'd like to give it a second go....
[16:45] <bkar> Starnestommy-> i believe metacity
[16:45] <tumbleweed__> try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[16:45] <tumbleweed__> :)
[16:45] <rodrigo> thanks
[16:45] <tumbleweed__> also
[16:46] <tumbleweed__> make sure to choose the nvidia driver
[16:46] <tumbleweed__> not nv
[16:46] <Starnestommy> bkar: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure metacity
[16:46] <bkar> sorry if i missed your posting tome I can only see like two lines this of overlapping windows I have
[16:46] <tumbleweed__> if you get a choice at all
[16:47] <cornell> No info on SWAT?  Nobody?
[16:47] <Moduliz0r> Can I add an array in a string, like $cakefactory_address = "Cake and $my_array['32'] are cool"; ?
[16:47] <bkar> tumbleweed__-> i had nv all along on my xorg.conf.
[16:47] <rodrigo> tumbleweed__ : I keep choosing nvidia.... theres 2 different there... one that just says nvidia and one that has all the nvidia cards (geforce, legacy...)
[16:47] <Starnestommy> Moduliz0r: which language?
[16:47] <tumbleweed__> yeah
[16:47] <Moduliz0r> PHP
[16:47] <tumbleweed__> actually
[16:47] <rodrigo> tumbleweed__ Ã: but i remember that my origibal settings where "nvidia" only
[16:48] <tumbleweed__> just sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:48] <wyclif> ok, just tried Pidgin.  not sure why entered IM text keeps jumping up and down or wiggling as I type.  what causes that?
[16:48] <Starnestommy> Moduliz0r: I think so
[16:48] <tumbleweed__> change it manually
[16:48] <tumbleweed__> ;/
[16:48] <Moduliz0r> Thanks, i think ill go ask in ##php :P
[16:48] <rodrigo> tumbleweed__ : do you think?
[16:48] <johndyer> what do I do if I closed the terminal window in VNC after I started gnome.  I have no way to do anything other then ssh'ing into the box butI dont know what to kill
[16:48] <tumbleweed__> yeah
[16:48] <PurpZeY> wyclif: If no one here knows ask in #pidgin ....Maybe someone here does know, but if not.  .

[16:59] <arken_>  Is there a way to transform my 64 Bit Ubuntu to a 32 Bit? Without having to format my drive? I'm fed up with things not working correctly in the 64 Bit OS, so I've decided that I want to use the 32 Bit, but seeing as I've been using it for a while, I don't want to have to start all over again.

[17:05] <Kopfgeldjaeger> hi
[17:05] <Blaise69> Can anyone help me with installing Flash player 9
[17:05] <Blaise69> please
[17:05] <wyclif> Rafase_282 how about BitchX?
[17:05] <filthpig> Rafase_282, depends on taste, but I'm using LostIRC and quite happy with it. Otherwise you have xchat
[17:05] <ikonia> Blaise69: what's the problem
[17:05] <brobostigon> !flash | Blaise69
[17:05] <ubotu> Blaise69: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[17:05] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[17:06] <Blaise69> yes it's broken, so I downloaded the tar myself
[17:06] <Blaise69> but I'm having trouble using Terminal
[17:06] <Arelis> Help! I screwed up Compiz Fusion's settings, and now i can't login to ubuntu anymore. How do i reset compiz's configuration?
[17:07] <Blaise69> When it asks me to put in the installation path of mozilla
[17:07] <jawee> any ideas? I'd like to get this under way....
[17:07] <brobostigon> Blaise69: what the problem with terminal you are having??
[17:07] <Blaise69> I can't set the path correctly
[17:07] <Blaise69> if I use /usr/lib/mozilla
[17:07] <bkar> am still stuck with unmovable windows, and cant alt+tab either, i have already done dpkg-reconfigure,  however if I am remoted in via ssh -X  on same host,  I can move windows around and alt_tab
[17:07] <Blaise69> it returns please enter a valid path
[17:08] <Joe_> Arelis: easy way, goto console and uninstall compiz, or manually change settings
[17:08] <bkar> Blaise69-> you tried  ~/.mozilla ?
[17:08] <Joe_> Arelis: have you tried using the recovery mode option when you start up the computer?
[17:08] <jack-desktop> how can i remap my mouse buttons and what they do?
[17:08] <Arelis> Joe_: .... err, is there a recovery mode?
[17:08] <Blaise69> WARNING: /home/alexander/Downloads/~/.mozilla is not a directory.
[17:09] <Arelis> Joe_: Also, how can i manually change settings?
[17:09] <jion> Hello.. can anyone help me to remove the kernel module of virtualbox-ose? I remove vb whit apt-get remove, but the kernel module has not been removed..
[17:09] <Joe_> arelis: Do you see the grub menu when you start your computer?
[17:09] <jack-desktop> Blaise69, you added an extra /~/
[17:09] <Arelis> Joe_: yes
[17:09] <Blaise69> yes
[17:09] <Joe_> arelis: second one should say something like Ubuntu....(Recovery Mode)
[17:09] <Blaise69> sorry, I'm lost, what exactly should I type?
[17:09] <Arelis> Joe_: what happens when i login to that?
[17:09] <bkar> Blaise69-> your /home/alexander/.mozilla  == ~/.mozilla
[17:09] <jack-desktop> Blaise69, if you're trying to get to your mozilla directly, type "cd ~/.mozilla"
[17:10] <andi5> jion: you can search the package name via `dpkg-query -S /lib/modules/.../...ko` ... maybe that helps
[17:10] <Joe_> arelis: should bring you into Ubuntu with minimal things running, ie no compiz
[17:10] <dennda> Is it possible to change the style of trackers gnome-applet? (I don't want it to open a seperate window but use the in-panel thing. Just like it was before gutsy final.) like this: http://tinyurl.com/36qbt8
[17:10] <CharlieSu> I installed libtorrent and rtorrent from apt-get and then through SVN..  SVN didn't work and now I want to go back to apt-get version but my attempts have failed.. How can I force something 'installed' to reinstall forcefully with all dependencies?
[17:10] <Blaise69> ok
[17:10] <daxro1> Hi all
[17:10] <Blaise69> I'm typing "~/.mozilla" and I get the following warning
[17:10] <jawee> I basically cannot resize an NTFS partition without it throwing an error
[17:10] <Joe_> arelis: And you can then disable Compiz from the apperance menu.  Another option is to use CTRL-F1 after the system starts up and get a command line, and then do things by hand(I don't know the commands for compiz, you'll have to google that)
[17:11] <Blaise69> WARNING: /home/alexander/Downloads/~/.mozilla is not a directory.
[17:11] <bkar> am still stuck with unmovable windows, and cant alt+tab either, i have already done dpkg-reconfigure,  however if I am remoted in via ssh -X  on same host,  I can move windows around and alt_tab  , what does gnome-session do when executed from remote ?
[17:11] <daxro1> Is the rtl8187 module buggy on 64bit ? It randomly drops connection
[17:11] <andi5> CharlieSu: did you specify a prefix for installation when you compiled from SVN?  is everything put into /usr/local? ... maybe `make uninstall` works for that package
[17:11] <Starnestommy> Blaise69: use /home/alexander/.mozilla in place of ~/.mozilla
[17:11] <jack-desktop> Blaise69, type "cd ~/.mozilla"
[17:11] <Blaise69> I ran flashplayer-installer from my downlaods directory
[17:11] <filthpig> !iso

[17:11] <CharlieSu> andi5: i didn't do a prefix..  i was dumb
[17:11] <CharlieSu> andi5: what should i do if i didn't use prefix?
[17:11] <Blaise69> yes but I'm not actually in the file browser, I'm running flashplayer-installer
[17:12] <bkar> Starnestommy-> what was that command you told me earlier? dpkg-reconfigure metacity ?  that did not invoke anything it seems
[17:12] <Blaise69> It's asking me for the directory of my mozilla folder
[17:12] <andi5> daxro1: i see those warning when running `dmesg` as well.... i simply unload the module, unplug the stick, plug it again and reload squid... happens once a week or so
[17:12] <Starnestommy> bkar: try sudo aptitude reinstall metacity
[17:12] <Blaise69> which is outside of my home
[17:12] <jack-desktop> Blaise69, oh, just type ".mozilla" it seems to add your home folder for you.
[17:12] <andi5> CharlieSu: well, take a look at /usr/local/... and `make uninstall`
[17:12] <Blaise69> WARNING: /home/alexander/Downloads/.mozilla is not a directory.
[17:12] <bkar> Blaise69-> am not sure if you are aware yet, there is a problem with flash plugin in the past week or two, its broken
[17:12] <Blaise69> yep. it's always adding my home
[17:13] <jack-desktop> it should be just in /alexander/ not /Downloads/
[17:13] <CharlieSu> andi5: it isn't in /usr/local.  i did make uninstall..  how how do i install apt version?
[17:13] <Joe_> Blaise69: You trying to install the adobe flash plugin?
[17:13] <andi5> CharlieSu: `apt-get install compiz` ... i suppose
[17:13] <Tilllinux> funny. netbeans is working with the icedtea java jdk
[17:13] <Blaise69> joe, bkar, yes I'm running it from the downloadable tar off their site
[17:13] <syntaxerror55> What library do I need to use the qmake command?
[17:13] <andi5> CharlieSu: sudo apt-get install compiz
[17:13] <Blaise69> as the assisted method doesn't work
[17:13] <bkar> Starnestommy-> do you know what gnome-session does from a remote login? i can move windows and alt+tab from it, but im am logged in locally I cant move any windows nor alt+tab
[17:13] <CharlieSu> why compiz?    i'm talking about rtorrent and libtorrent
[17:14] <Joe_> blaise69: So you're running flash<whatver>-installer ?
[17:14] <Blaise69> yep
[17:14] <Blaise69> and its asking for my mozilla directory
[17:14] <andi5> syntaxerror55: have you tried to type `qmake` in a terminal? it should give you names of packages that contain this binary... i suppose libqt4-dev or qt3-dev-tools, whatever you prefer
[17:14] <Joe_> Blaise69 trying to isntall it for firefox?
[17:14] <Blaise69> is there a symbol for the root?
[17:14] <Blaise69> yes for firefox
[17:15] <Joe_> have you run firefox at all
[17:15] <daxro1> andi5: what warnings ? I can connect fine just drops connection and does not reconnect times out.
[17:15] <bsod2> armine, i did what was on the wiki and now i get this error from compiz --replace -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3712/
[17:15] <Blaise69> no
[17:15] <Blaise69> it's closed
[17:15] <Joe_> Blaise69 but you have run it at least once?
[17:15] <Blaise69> yes before
[17:16] <syntaxerror55> andi5, I tried, it said qmake is not a command.
[17:16] <Starnestommy> syntaxerror55: sudo apt-get install qmake?
[17:16] <Joe_> blaise69: odd that it didn't autodetect it, did for me.  Try giving it /home/<your user name>/.mozilla
[17:16] <CharlieSu> andi5: worked.. thanks
[17:16] <andi5> daxro1: hm... maybe you see another bug then
[17:16] <syntaxerror55> Starnestommy, E: Couldn't find package qmake
[17:16] <Flughafen> im having some trouble burning a dvd, it doesnt give me a path to burn to
[17:17] <Blaise69> WARNING: Please enter a valid installation path.
[17:17] <Joe_> blaise69 ok, give me a sec and I'll tell you how to manually install it... that script doesn't do much
[17:17] <daxro1> andi5: you know if its possible to get ndiswrapper 32bit drivers working on a 64bit system
[17:17] <andi5> daxro1: i guess that will work
[17:17] <Starnestommy> daxro1: I'm using a 32-bit driver on a 64-bit system
[17:17] <Joe_> blaise69 in your home directory do you see the directory .mozilla ?  Might need to goto View -> Show Hidden
[17:17] <Blaise69> thanks
[17:17] <Blaise69> no!
[17:18] <bsod2> armine: in short the problem compiz has is that my driver does not support GL_texture_from_pixmap
[17:18] <Joe_> No?
[17:18] <Blaise69> there is no /mozilla directory
[17:18] <daxro1> Starnestommy: what driver ?
[17:18] <Joe_> .mozilla
[17:18] <armine> aw okay it is possible
[17:18] <Starnestommy> daxro1: the one for a linksys wmp54g
[17:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Blaise69: /.mozilla is hidden.
[17:18] <Blaise69> ah
[17:18] <Blaise69>  yes :D
[17:18] <Blaise69> I do when I show hidden
[17:18] <armine> im not very involved in graphics hardware/programming etc. but it can be
[17:18] <Blaise69> pardon me
[17:18] <Joe_> blaise69: ok, just making sure it's there
[17:18] <daxro1> Starnestommy: you have a guide or know of one ?
[17:18] <bsod2> armine: yeah well looks like a case of 'bad luck' for me :)
[17:19] <Jack_Sparrow> ~/.mozilla should be the directory
[17:19] <Blaise69> maybe I should move these files?
[17:19] <Blaise69> out fo the downloads folder
[17:19] <Blaise69> what does "~" do?
[17:20] <Starnestommy> Blaise69: ~ is an alias for /home/username
[17:20] <Joe_> ~ means home
[17:20] <armine> home dir
[17:20] <Joe_> blaise69: So you run the flashplayer-installer, press enter, and then what does it show you?
[17:20] <bkar> where do one configure  xwindows locked in one position of the desktop? and also alt+tab dont work on my desktop ?
[17:20] <MasterShrek> Blaise69, ~ stands for /home/<user> for whatever user you are logged in as
[17:20] <andi5> unless it is used as ~whoever, which maps to the home directory of the user named whoever :-)
[17:20] <Blaise69> when I do sudo ./flashplayer-installer
[17:20] <matttis> how do i search in my installed packages ?
[17:20] <Joe_> blaise69 you aren't running it as root, or doing sudo are you?
[17:20] <Blaise69> it loads up the welcome screen
[17:20] <Blaise69> says press Enter
[17:20] <Joe_> blaise69 don't do sudo
[17:20] <Blaise69> then please close browsers
[17:20] <bkar> but dangit if I am remoted in, i can move the windows...grrr
[17:20] <Blaise69> ok..
[17:20] <FloodBot1> Blaise69: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:21] <jawee> .... I still cannot get Ubuntu to resize this NTFS partition
[17:21] <jawee> I have tried manual mode and guided mode on installer and gparted
[17:21] <Blaise69> :|
[17:21] <jawee> and it always throws an error
[17:21] <Blaise69> then ah...
[17:21] <Blaise69> ok
[17:21] <WNxCryptic> I've installed vsftpd but when I type in "/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart" the normal prompts that say "stopping service" and "starting service" don't come up. Instead it simply goes back to the terminal prompt.
[17:21] <Joe_> blaise69 just run it as yourself, and it should find your .mozilla directory on it's own
[17:21] <Blaise69> now it says (without sudo) the player will be installed in .mozilla folder
[17:21] <Blaise69> yes it haz
[17:21] <Blaise69> *has
[17:21] <bkar> jawee-> im not even aware ubuntu disk partitioner can resize ntfs partitions
[17:21] <MasterShrek> jawee, resizing partitions is always dangerous, any chance you have a different option? like backing up your data and reinstalling?
[17:21] <Joe_> that's where you want it, should be ok now
[17:22] <Blaise69> right
[17:22] <Flughafen> can somebody help me with qdvdauthor?
[17:22] <incorrect> for some strange reason firefox keeps trying to install flash, however flash is already installed
[17:22] <Blaise69> now it says I need to remove the xpti.dat file from the components dir of my mozilla directory
[17:22] <jawee> MasterShrek: well, I need to
[17:22] <andi5> incorrect: did you restart the browser?
[17:22] <jawee> MasterShrek: do I need to use different software? I'm just trying to dualbooot Vista and Ubuntu)
[17:22] <incorrect> yes
[17:22] <Joe_> incorrect: It isn't, there is a problem with the repos.  Goto adobe.com and download the flash plugin from there and run the flashplayer-installer
[17:23] <andi5> incorrect: i suppose all windows? ... what does the website "about:plugins" show you?
[17:23] <lulu> help
[17:23] <MasterShrek> jawee, im not sure, i never resize partitions
[17:23] <Blaise69> There is no components folder though
[17:23] <eugman> Any suggestions on an editor for haskell?
[17:23] <Joe_> blaise69 didn't say that for me, but I'd just follow the instructions and should be ok
[17:23] <andi5> eugman: emacs?
[17:23] <jawee> hmm.. :\
[17:23] <Joe_> blaise69 odd... start up firefox and see if it works?
[17:23] <jawee> I have to keep the Vista install as it isn't my laptop
[17:24] <incorrect> :(
[17:24] <Blaise69> Ah, yes flash works now, thanks joe, that's very useful
[17:24] <Joe_> blaise69: np
[17:24] <eugman> I'd rather avoid it a little longer but I suppose I have to learn emacs or vi sometime. Can both be learned concurrently?
[17:24] <Blaise69> any good with installing ATi X1900 drivers?
[17:24] <incorrect> windows is only good for games
[17:24] <WNxCryptic> I've installed vsftpd but when I type in "/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart" the normal prompts that say "stopping service" and "starting service" don't come up. Instead it simply goes back to the terminal prompt.
[17:24] <Joe_> blasie69: Not I, I use Nvidia atm though my next computer will use ATI
[17:24] <WNxCryptic> Gah, Ati...
[17:24] <Blaise69> I would recommend not getting ATi
[17:24] <Joe_> incorrect: If you download the .tar from the adobe site for flash and run it's installer you'll get it working without a problem
[17:25] <Flughafen> can somebody help me with qdvdauthor?
[17:25] <Blaise69> in all seriousness, even if it were for a windows machine
[17:25] <Joe_> blaise69: Their latest cards look pretty good, and if they do as they say and open up the drivers things will only get better
[17:25] <andi5> eugman: hm... i learned emacs first and would suggest that, because i think it gives you more in the long run ... vi is useful if you plan to login into a lot of different / server machines someday... but hey, that is a topic for flamewars :)
[17:25] <Joe_> andi5: Nano ftw!
[17:25] <jawee> How much space do I need for an Ubuntu install? there is a 1572MB system partition I can use for now
[17:25] <incorrect> Joe_, thanks
[17:25] <filthpig> incorrect, that's incorrect ;) For the normal user, maybe that's true, but for professionals in need of specific software, Windows is the only solution
[17:25] <mular> Hey guys having some trouble with my soundcard "Audigy LS" - under the alsamixer it shows some odd options like IEC958 front analog center/LFE Analog Front etc etc but none of these settings really do anything when I adjust them.. my internal soundcard has like master sound and bunch of other settings.. I think I broke something on my creative card?
[17:25] <MasterShrek> they opened the specs for the ati cards
[17:26] <eugen> hi there
[17:26] <matttis> how do i search through my installed packages ? I want to find out which package, listed with "sudo apt-cache search" are installed
[17:26] <eugen> i got a mac installer (*.dmg), how may i install this file to my ubuntu?
[17:26] <matttis> *packages
[17:26] <Blaise69> So when will we finally see good drivers for the Ati cards on Linux?
[17:26] <Starnestommy> eugen: I don't think mac installers can be run on ubuntu
[17:26] <Joe_> mattis: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[17:26] <andi5> cat Blasise69 | tee code.adobe.com
[17:26] <bsod2> if ATI drivers where open source i could take the GL_texture_from_bitmap from Mesa and implement it in fglrx and have my compiz
[17:27] <eugen> Starnestommy: okay thank you
[17:27] <matttis> Joe_: is there a shell command too ?
[17:27] <Joe_> blaise69: Problaby will take a little while... but I can hope soon
[17:27] <Joe_> mattis: apt-cache search?
[17:27] <bsod2> so what the hell are ati waiting for to make their xxx drivers open source?
[17:27] <matttis> Joe_: well no
[17:27] <Joe_> mattis: installed ones.. dpkg handles everything you installed
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> bsod2: Please watch the language
[17:28] <bsod2> sorry
[17:28] <zenwhen> http://zenwhen.com/images/minizen.png
[17:28] <armine> lool
[17:28] <zenwhen> oops
[17:28] <andi5> matttis: `dpkg -l <re>`, and i think <re> can be a regular expression... but i do not know for sure
[17:28] <WNxCryptic> I've installed vsftpd but when I type in "/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart" the normal prompts that say "stopping service" and "starting service" don't come up. Instead it simply goes back to the terminal prompt.

[17:29] <igge> anyone who knows a good program for cutting, copying and pasting sound?
[17:29] <MasterShrek> igge, audacity
[17:29] <Joe_> mattis: cat /var/lib/dpkg/status lists everything installed
[17:29] <Flughafen> how do i chose a mount point for blank dvd's?
[17:29] <andi5> igge: see MasterShrek
[17:29] <zenwhen> http://www.qualiteam.biz/images/logos/ubuntu.gif
[17:29] <incorrect> i hate it that 64bit linux is still a bit of a second class citizen
[17:30] <matttis> Joe_: thanks, thats what i neede
[17:30] <matttis> d
[17:30] <andi5> incorrect: hm... depends on what you need... it works perfectly for me for i think 18 months or so
[17:30] <igge> MasterShrek: thanks
[17:30] <Joe_> mattis: Np, I used that just a few days ago when I trashed my system and had to reinstall... made life much easier when trying to remember what I had installed
[17:31] <mular> ok I think my problem is related to losing my master mixer for my soundcard.. Would a creative audigy LS by default not have a Master Mixer? I think I remember it having something butI messed with some settings and I think a broke it what can I do?
[17:31] <incorrect> andi5, well if i want flash i have run the 32bit version of firefox
[17:31] <incorrect> sigh
[17:31] <eugen> hi its me again.. how ato isntall a tar.gz?
[17:31] <Joe_> incorrect: Yeah... reason I went with 32bit ubuntu... amoung others... one day 64bit will be better
[17:32] <cornell> TTFN
[17:32] <Flughafen> anyone here know how to use qdvdauthor?
[17:32] <Joe_> but it took a while for 32bit to take hold from 16bit
[17:32] <andi5> incorrect: well... in ubuntu gutsy, i simply go to youtube.com, click on the "missing plugin" space, let ubufox choose the adobe plugin and install everything... reload firefox and tada.... that is what i did :)
[17:32] <chimp> yer. my 64bit firefox is working fine with flash
[17:32] <Joe_> flughafen I know how to author dvds via CLI if you want
[17:33] <chimp> You said you chose 32bit, for the flash reason, among others, what others are these?
[17:33] <bsod2> i had to do work to make flash work on my gutsy
[17:33] <Flughafen> Joe_, i just dont know what to put for the path to burn the dvd
[17:33] <Joe_> chimp: Wine wasn't playing nice
[17:33] <chimp> Wine has issues in 64bit?
[17:33] <andi5> Wine? ... you mean the windows emulation? ... how does that relatve to firefox?
[17:33] <Flughafen> Joe_, any ideas?
[17:34] <Joe_> flughafen /dev/dvd ?
[17:34] <Flughafen> Joe_, there is no dvd
[17:34] <Joe_> said firefox/flash not working was one of the reasons I decided on 32bit, I was having issues getting things working with wine under 64bit as well
[17:34] <Flughafen> Joe, in dev
[17:34] <syntaxerror55> Ubuntu 32bit > 64bit if you're trying to do anything :|
[17:35] <syntaxerror55> I tried 64bit Dapper and it annoyed the hell out of me; I've used 32bit ever since
[17:35] <Joe_> flughafen should be under /dev or /media
[17:35] <andi5> Joe_: so you are using the i386 ubuntu packages, not just 32bit firefox?
[17:35] <incorrect> andi5, doesn't work for me
[17:36] <Flughafen> Joe_, my drives are under media, my blank dvd's do not get mounted to the drives.  It says not mounted when i see the dvd properties
[17:36] <bahman> Hi everybody
[17:36] <Joe_> andi5 yeah, completely 32bit Ubuntu
[17:36] <syntaxerror55> bahman, hi
[17:36] <Flughafen> Joe_ when i put in a dvd with stuff on it it goes to media
[17:36] <chimp> To be honest i havent had any issues with 64 bit except flash, but that works now
[17:36] <matttis> Joe_: dpkg -l | grep "^ii"  seems even better
[17:36] <Joe_> Mattis: yeah, if you want to search, heh
[17:37] <Joe_> flughafen where do blank ones get mounted then?
[17:37] <Aicryac> hey you guys, i have ubuntu 7.10 running and of course it is on apache 2.2.4 right now, i saw apache 2.2.8 came out not to long ago and want to give it a shot but couldn't find config.nice file to play with, can anyone help me out on that? :)
[17:37] <Flughafen> Joe_ it says "not mounted"
[17:38] <Joe_> flughafen might be a dumb question, but you sure you have a dvd burner?
[17:38] <Flughafen> Joe_ hah yea
[17:38] <Flughafen> Joe_ it works fine with brasero and gnomebaker
[17:38] <Flughafen> Joe_ qdvdauthor just cant find a path to burn to
[17:39] <Shadow98> is this the best place to download ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[17:39] <chris3> hello there. Is anyone familiar with re-mapping buttons in the xorg.conf file?
[17:39] <andi5> Flughafen: /dev/dvdrw1?
[17:39] <matttis> STRG + R in shell searches the cache. Is it possible to change the direction to search for newer input ?
[17:39] <Joe_> flughafen hmm... if it's not somewhere under /dev... got me then, I do all my avi to dvd stuff in terminal and use /dev/dvd
[17:39] <Flughafen> andi5, not there
[17:39] <_Andrew> Question, I have an application running on port 3389 and when I test if it is open on a website it says connection refused. I think it is Ubuntu.. Is there a command to open a port I can try so I can test again and see if it is Ubuntu?
[17:40] <Beererde> hi. after a short while, my touchpad becomes completely useless, it just clicks randomly the left and right mouse buttons. can i somehow restart the driver?
[17:40] <chris3> hello there. Is anyone familiar with re-mapping buttons in the xorg.conf file?
[17:40] <Flughafen> Joe_ do you know how to chose a mount point for a blank dvd? it says "not mounted"
[17:40] <Joe_> flughafen: You have anything under /dev that has dvd in it?
[17:40] <Flughafen> Joe_ no
[17:40] <KrisWood> Hi all :)
[17:40] <andi5> Flughafen: you may want to take a look at /sys/block... maybe it contains some information
[17:41] <KrisWood> installing ubuntu on a shiney new server, thought I'd hang out in here while I do it :)
[17:41] <andi5> matttis: what do you mean with "change directory"?
[17:41] <chris3> hello there. Is anyone familiar with re-mapping buttons in the xorg.conf file?
[17:41] <Joe_> KrisWood: So you'll be in here for about 15 minutes?  heh
[17:41] <matttis> andi5: i says change direct_ion_
[17:42] <xxpor> hey, Im getting an error when I'm trying to do a package update
[17:42] <KrisWood> Joe: maybe a little longer, depending on problems if any arise :D
[17:42] <xxpor> There was an error committing changes. Possibly there was an error downloading some packages or a commit would break packages.
[17:42] <bahman> Hi everybody
[17:42] <Flughafen> is there a way to burn a disk image with qdvdauthor?
[17:42] <bahman> Could I install Updates when I have a new ubuntu on my PC?!
[17:43] <Joe_> bahman: Not sure what you mena...
[17:43] <andi5> matttis: i am not sure i understand what you mean :-(
[17:43] <bahman> Could I install Updates when I have a new ubuntu on my PC?! I backup packages in 1 dvd
[17:43] <jack-desktop> how do i set my mouse back to default buttons?
[17:44] <blgrnboy> can anyone help me with setting up OpenSSH server
[17:44] <Blueprint_> Is it possible, that ubuntu crashs down my dsl-router???
[17:44] <blgrnboy> i thought i chose to install it, but i dont see it anywhere in the gnome menus
[17:45] <bahman> Joe_ hi, windows crashed my ubuntu, I also backup downloaded update packegaes in a DVD, how could I install them instead of redownload them?!
[17:45] <andi5> blgrnboy: if you installed the server then it is running already most likely... what gui application did you expect?
[17:45] <rodrigo> tumbleweed__ : hey tumble!.... nothing worked so i loaded the live cd... and copied the xorg definitions to my hd... then... pico should have a copy/paste feature... but it turns out that it worked
[17:45] <HP_Administrator> looking for discussion of GanttProject v OpenProj; pm is welcome, as are links
[17:45] <bahman> Joe_ Is there any way?!
[17:45] <TeXnicer> moin
[17:45] <armine> the flash package in synaptic isnt working yet?
[17:45] <rodrigo> tumbleweed__ : so thanks man.... thanks again
[17:45] <Joe_> bahman you backed up the actual packages that were downloaded?
[17:45] <Joe_> armine no it isn't, download from adobe directly
[17:46] <armine> ok
[17:46] <armine> mmmh but i can still download the package
[17:46] <xxpor> hey, Im getting an error when I'm trying to do a package update
[17:46] <xxpor> There was an error committing changes. Possibly there was an error downloading some packages or a commit would break packages.
[17:46] <reportingsjr> How, in the networkmanager application can I make it so it will only connect to one certain network, or just block out a certain network?
[17:46] <armine> Joe_ : there is a package right?
[17:46] <armine> i found one on the web working...
[17:46] <tumbleweed__> rodrigo : no prob
[17:46] <bahman> Joe_ Yeah, I backup packages with "APTonCD"
[17:47] <Joe_> armine there is a package in there, but it's broken.  adobe.com has a tar you can download and then run the flashplayer-installer that comes in the tar and you'll be good
[17:47] <armine> okay
[17:47] <bahman> Joe_ Also I'm a new user of Ubuntu :)
[17:47] <armine> but does it work in 64bits?
[17:47] <Joe_> bahman if they actual packages are in there you should be able to just run them and dpkg will install them... or I believe there is a setting in Synaptic Package Manager to tell it to look at a DVD/CD first
[17:48] <Joe_> armine can't tell you... I use 32Bit
[17:48] <jumpkic2> That X server update fiasco really bullocks-up my system...   I had to upgrade to hardy's X + drivers to get things working and in the process the kernel changed and foobar-ed up a bunch of device stuff
[17:48] <armine> okay
[17:48] <erawfish> armine: adobe relea<sed no 64bit flash for linux
[17:48] <mohd> Hi guys, is there a way to run compiz fusion, but have metacity themes at the same time?
[17:48] <armine> okay i found a working package for flash in 64bits (with 32 bits plugin wrapper I guess)
[17:48] <_Andrew> I have an application running on port 3389 and when I test if it is open on a port testing website it says connection refused. Is there a command to open a port I can try so I can test again and see if it is Ubuntu?
[17:49] <armine> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10804892/flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu2_amd64.deb
[17:49] <armine> this one
[17:49] <Joe_> _Andrew your router probably isn't forwarding that port to your computer correctly
[17:49] <Methos_> howdy
[17:49] <bahman> Joe_ Really thanks, in Synaptic Package Manager we could see ADD CD-ROM... in EDIT menu :D
[17:49] <DAddYE> Any have never tried mondorescue? Is normal that for making catalog spent over than 1 hour? My filelist.full is 200mb it's normal?
[17:49] <_Andrew> Joe_: I thought that so I changed the port (so that it breaks) and it says the connection timed out
[17:49] <bahman> Joe_ I love Ubuntu
[17:49] <Joe_> bahman np
[17:49] <andi5> _Andrew: `netstat -tln` will show you listening ports and on what devices they listen... i suppose you are separated from the internet by a router that das network address translation? :)
[17:50] <computerex> Is there a way to run compiz but have metacity be the window border decorator?
[17:50] <Joe_> _Andrew you'll have to look at the documentation for your router(assuming the command andi5 gave you shows it's open) and see how to forward the port
[17:50] <computerex> Right now compiz --replace switches the decorator to emerald, and metacity --replace turns off compiz fusion
[17:50] <Methos_> i was wondering if i could get some help with installing a driver, i'm pretty much in the dark about installing anything on linux, only using software when everything is working heh
[17:51] <_Andrew> Joe_: Thanks, I can see from the output that the port isn't open
[17:51] <hiffy> so, is it possible or recommendable to install ubuntu over software raid?
[17:51] <Joe_> methos_ what driver?
[17:51] <Methos_> my PCMCIA card isn't working, i have my old windows drivers for it but thats it, the manufacturers don't support linux
[17:52] <peepsalot> how can I pass a parameter to a module?
[17:52] <Methos_> buffalo wireless card wli-cb-g54s
[17:52] <_Andrew> Joe_: Now I know the port isn't open.. how do I open it.. or do I have to change this program?
[17:52] <Joe_> google for linux drivers for that... if you're lucky there is a free version that does support your card, if not... probably SOL
[17:52] <andi5> peepsalot: while autoloading or manually?
[17:52] <Jack_Sparrow> hiffy: Possible ..yes..  I personally dont care for software raid..
[17:52] <peepsalot> andi5, i'm not sure
[17:52] <andi5> peepsalot: are you typing modprobe?
[17:53] <hiffy> Jack_Sparrow: I've got these two 40 gb drives sitting around. it's a shame to leave one idle
[17:53] <caithford> server irc.oftc.net
[17:53] <Methos_> whats modprobe?, i'll give it a shot
[17:53] <liz_><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[17:53] <peepsalot> andi5, no, it's autoloadding on boot I suppose
[17:53] <Joe_> _andrew if it isn't open on your router, you'll have to see how your router is configured(normally do ifconfig in terminal then goto the ip address listed as your gateway in a web browser)
[17:53] <Jack_Sparrow> hiffy: Use one for /  root  and the other for /home
[17:54] <hiffy> Jack_Sparrow: Hm. Hadn't thought of that.
[17:54] <peepsalot> andi5, for AC97
[17:54] <Methos_> sorry, nm, that question wasn't for me ll
[17:54] <andi5> peepsalot: take a look at the files in /etc/modprobe.d/ ... they contain some good examples, ... then create an empty file in that directory, maybe "local" and add a corresponding options line
[17:54] <_Andrew> Joe_: It is being forwarded to this computer, but the connection is being refused because even though the program I am using says it is running on port xxxx when I entered the command you gave me it wasn't
[17:54] <Joe_> _andrew ie if it says your gateway is <IP_ADDRESS> then you would put <IP_ADDRESS> in firefox and you should get a webpage that lets you configure port forwarding... if that doesn't work you'll have to check the manual for your router
[17:54] <gilnfld> hello
[17:54] <Jack_Sparrow> hiffy: I would split/artition the one into two 20's root and /var to keep dowloads seperate to simplify rebuilds..
[17:54] <Joe_> _andrew the netstat one?
[17:55] <computerex> Found the fix, switch to the gtk window decorator with : gtk-window-decorator --replace
[17:55] <_Andrew> Joe_: yup
[17:55] <Joe_> _andrew if the netstat didn't list it... then whatever that program is didn't bind the port correctly... which port were you trying to bind?
[17:55] <gilnfld> i am having an issue firing up a KDE app, == dcopserver error and mime type errors. any ideas?
[17:55] <_Andrew> It doesn't show the port as listening.. infact it isn't listed
[17:55] <KrisWood> Joe_, sure seems like they're keeping you busy today :D
[17:55] <Methos_> isn't there a way to extract the information in the .inf driver file that was for windows and modify it for linux?
[17:55] <hiffy> Jack_Sparrow: I'm the type to never touch /var, but I'm liking the /home being on a separate drive. I agree on the rebuild simplicity
[17:55] <Joe_> KrisWood heh, I'm bored waiting for a meeting :P
[17:55] <nico666> come si fa a caricare un addon in ubuntu???
[17:56] <KrisWood> Joe_, ah yes, always fun :D
[17:56] <Joe_> _andrew you trying to bind a port below 1024?
[17:56] <_Andrew> Joe_: 3389
[17:56] <Joe_> _andrew not sure then, not knowing the program you're using I could't tell you why it isn't binding properly... is it something you wrote or a program you downloaded?
[17:56] <Jack_Sparrow> hiffy: then dont creat sep /var  but a sep partition for data and keep copy of /var/cache/apt/archives in there too
[17:56] <hiffy> Jack_Sparrow: so, why your distaste for software raid?
[17:57] <_Andrew> It's a server emulator
[17:57] <Jack_Sparrow> hiffy: I have had to recover and fix more than a few..
[17:57] <peepsalot> andi5, so it doesn't really matter what file I put it in?
[17:57] <andi5> _Andrew: but the program is running, right? ... check `ps faux | less` :)
[17:58] <Jack_Sparrow> hiffy: Softraid /winraid was nice when drives were really sloe ata33 and 66.. but with these new drives... not so much of an issue
[17:58] <andi5> peepsalot: please add an own one so that package updates do not conflict with you changes (at least no merge is tried, but you will be asked questions (at least on the cli))
[17:58] <hiffy> heh.
[17:58] <Methos_> i can't see any drivers on google for my wireless card, is there no other way to get it working?
[17:58] <jv_> Methos what card?
[17:58] <Joe_> methos_ if there are no official linux drivers for it, and it isn't supported by any of the free ones... doesn't sound like it
[17:59] <Methos_> wli-cb-g54s
[17:59] <Methos_> aww geez :(
[17:59] <MasterShrek> !ndiswrapper
[17:59] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[17:59] <au_> hey, how can I format my memory card? sth like vfat /media/disk doenst work :(
[17:59] <Methos_> so even a tech savvy person couldn't manipulate the windows drivers to work for it?
[17:59] <jv_> ndiswrapper
[17:59] <Jack_Sparrow> ndiswrapper
[17:59] <jv_> yeah, they should
[18:00] <MasterShrek> au_, mkfs.vfat /dev/xxxx
[18:00] <andi5> au_: `sudo mkfs.vfat /media/disk`?
[18:00] <MasterShrek> au_, you need to use sudo
[18:00] <Joe_> methos_ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/does-buffalo-wli-cb-g54s-wireless-pcmcia-card-work-under-linux-352795/
[18:00] <Methos_> yeah i heard a mention of ndiswrapper, whats the go with it?
[18:00] <jv_> ndiswrapper should* do the trick
[18:00] <brobostigon> au_: use gparted
[18:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !ndiswrapper
[18:00] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[18:00] <andi5> au_: oh, take the device, just like MasterShrek said
[18:00] <Methos_> thanks, i'll look into that

[18:02] <Assid> anyone?
[18:02] <peepsalot> i'm using powertop to try to optimize my laptop's power usage.  one thing it suggests is: Suggestion: Enable wireless power saving mode by executing the following command:  iwpriv eth1 set_power 5 This will sacrifice network performance slightly to save power.
[18:02] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow:  newbie here
[18:02] <jv_> ahahah
[18:02] <jv_> yeah,,,But waht is the dev?
[18:02] <andi5> daxro1: well, i am satisfied with the quality i have here, given that my card before that one did not work at all ;-)
[18:02] <peepsalot> so do I need to put that in some config file to make it work on every boot, or will that command be permanent?
[18:02] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow:  is there a way to see if this card is even able to run effects?
[18:02] <KrisWood> woot, I love how ubuntu works straight out of the box
[18:03] <jv_> me too :)
[18:03] <andi5> daxro1: even fresh drivers sent from realtek did not help
[18:03] <Assid> ey anyone here?
[18:03] <KrisWood> no digging through configuration files
[18:03] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: Trust me.. it can.. hopefully you did not try to install fglrx
[18:03] <Assid> can someone help me please
[18:03] <Achoth> Hello. I'm trying to SSH to an Ubuntu server, but I can't connect to it, I just get the error "Connection refused". All the neccecery ports are open. How can I make it work?
[18:03] <zimon> peepsalot, no it won't. put it in /etc/rc.local
[18:03] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow:  i am sure i did
[18:03] <Joe_> KrisWood unless you try to do something special like 4 monitors and 2 video cards...
[18:03] <KrisWood> I always forget something when I have to do stuff manually hehe
[18:03] <peepsalot> zimon, ok thanks
[18:03] <jv_> assid..what do you need? speak up man ! :)
[18:03] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow: in fact, i am sure i did
[18:03] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: We will need to remove it.. so open synaptic and plull it out
[18:03] <andi5> Achoth: did you specify the correct user name and password?  does `ssh -vvv user@server` help?
[18:03] <KrisWood> Joe_, thankfully this is a server box, no need for anything fancy :)
[18:03] <MasterShrek> Achoth, connect using ip, not hostname
[18:04] <KrisWood> It's still installing but I can ping it already :D
[18:04] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: If you can be quick I will walk you through it..
[18:04] <Assid> jv_:  every now and then i end up with borderless windows.. how do i get them back (happens since compiz got activated)
[18:04] <Achoth> MasterShrek: Tried that
[18:04] <Joe_> KrisWood yeah... took me 3 days to get my main desktop converted from XP to Ubuntu... stupid multi monitors that I would die without
[18:04] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow:  no installs on here
[18:04] <MasterShrek> Assid, emerald --replace
[18:04] <andi5> Achoth: btw, you are trying to ssh to an ubuntu server?  are you sure you are allowed to do that anyway? :)
[18:04] <jv_> assid: I had that before...
[18:04] <jv_> nvidia?
[18:05] <Assid> ati - dell d600 laptop

[18:05] <Assid> MasterShrek: cant get run to run
[18:05] <Achoth> andi5: Yes, I am actually :p
[18:05] <KrisWood> Joe_, yeah I went through that last time I tried to get my desktop into ubuntu
[18:05] <MasterShrek> alt+f2?
[18:05] <jv_> with nvidia I missed a line  in xorg.conf
[18:05] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow: already installed
[18:05] <andi5> Achoth: nice :) then see above
[18:05] <Joe_> JinRoh: X-Chat is designed for KDE, but runs on Gnome(default for Ubuntu, Kubuntu uses KDE), I prefer X-Chat personally, even on Gnome
[18:05] <Amish> how do i verify my public key ??
[18:05] <Assid> MasterShrek:  kvirc to the rescue : /run xterm :P
[18:05] <KrisWood> Joe_, unfortunately I was unable to get 3dsmax working in ubuntu so had to go back to windows :(
[18:06] <jv_> look in google for window decorations missing with keywords compiz or beryl
[18:06] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: Ok  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:06] <Joe_> JinRoh: And like Soju much?
[18:06] <Assid> jv_: okay but im not running nvidia
[18:06] <jv_> there were many examples..I just don't remember right now
[18:06] <JinRoh> Joe_: what?
[18:06] <jv_> Assid: well, try with ati...wam...
[18:06] <Amish> anyone there ??
[18:06] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow: ok
[18:06] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33:   The few lines you need to add are on this page I am making of my notes..   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52798/
[18:06] <Joe_> JinRoh: Heh, assumed by your name you knew Korean... JinRoh is the name of a company that makes Soju(traditional Korean rice wine)
[18:07] <kbrooks> Joe_, xchat is designed for gnome not kde
[18:07] <quittt> is someone here having problems with Debian Menu?
[18:07] <KrisWood> Joe_, JinRoh is also the name of an anime movie :)
[18:07] <kbrooks> Joe_, xchat-gnome is xchat with minimal configuration options
[18:07] <JinRoh> yes, it's from the anime :p
[18:07] <KrisWood> one of my fav anime of all time too :)
[18:08] <Joe_> kbrooks oops, my bad... X-chat is still better IMO
[18:08] <andi5> kbrooks: ah, interesting.... so it follows the idea to choose sensible defaults and reduce choices?
[18:08] <KrisWood> I like dark stuff that messes with my head hehe
[18:08] <peepsalot> zimon, at what time during boot does rc.local run?
[18:08] <Owleto> XChat 2.8.4, Peter Zelezny, is different from XChat (gnome)... think so
[18:08] <kbrooks> andi5, nod
[18:08] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow: thanks
[18:08] <kbrooks> Owleto, yes
[18:08] <jv_> Assid: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xgl_Troubleshooting#Gnome_Window_Decoration_Missing
[18:08] <jv_> might work
[18:08] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: I'll be back in a few. let me know if it worked or where you had a problem..
[18:08] <brobostigon> i think xchat-gnome is a mod if the normal xchat
[18:09] <zimon> peepsalot, it's one of the last
[18:09] <jimmygoon> what? don't like sensible defaults? don't install it then... wth
[18:09] <cocox> guys, im trying to compile the latest iwl3945 driver and im receiving this output... could you please help me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52797/
[18:09] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: I want to make that easy for users of ati pre9500 cards
[18:09] <andi5> jimmygoon: was that a directed burst-out? :)
[18:09] <Joe_> I like the default look of X-Chat over X-Chat Gnome personally
[18:10] <amish> HOW DO I VERIFY MY PUBLIC KEY ??
[18:10] <JinRoh> hmm im trying xchat (just xchat) now, it seems nicer (color scheme, Im too lazy to change it in -gnome)
[18:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !caps > amish
[18:10] <JinRoh> btw, is there like a "Compiz-Fusion for Dummies" introductory guide?
[18:10] <JinRoh> I don't know exactly what I can do with it :)
[18:11] <Achoth> amish: Instead of using capital letters, explain what you mean
[18:11] <amish> when i run d update ... it says " W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 "
[18:11] <Joe_> JinRoh: youTube?  heh
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> JinRoh: They have a whole channel just for you..
[18:11] <_Andrew> Joe_: Thanks, I figured what the problem is. It's the program, I can forward other ports but not the one the program is working on. I'm going to go fix it now. later
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !compiz
[18:11] <dts> I am having a problem where thunderbird will not connect to SMTP servers.
[18:11] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[18:11] <chimp> Is there anyway to see what ports ubuntu is listening on?
[18:11] <JinRoh> mmm well I do know what compiz does but I'd like some kind of guide to know what keys to press :D
[18:11] <jimmygoon> andi5, it was frustration with those bashing on gnome for having an app that provides defaults... I was annoyed because its dumb to fault gnome for that... just because someone makes an app doesn't mean its gnome specific (just because its NOT kxchat or w/e) and that there is still straight up xchat that can be configured...
[18:12] <dts> chimp netstat
[18:12] <Jack_Sparrow> dts: Verify the port it is using to connect.. No need for firewall changes, just the config in thunderbird
[18:12] <chimp> thanks
[18:12] <Joe_> chimp netstat -L... bah I forget... andi5 knows off the top of his head
[18:12] <eugen> hello everybody
[18:12] <andi5> chimp, Joe: netstat -tln ? :)
[18:12] <unperson> Hi, I'm trying to get my ubuntu laptop to use a wireless network that is being broadcast on a Mac (running OS X).  The WEP key was set via a passphrase.  How can I determine the hex key to give my laptop?  Are there any programs that will tell me the correct key?  I assume it's just some well known hash.
[18:12] <amish_> how do i verify my public key ??
[18:13] <Joe_> andi5 that would be what I was looking for... need more coffee, brain slowing down :P
[18:13] <eugen> i have a problem
[18:13] <jimmygoon> andi5, not really though, I don't care enough and for the large part agree with the sentiment but still can't stand a lot about kde but thats just me so w/e :)
[18:13] <JinRoh> what fonts do you use in ubuntu? default fonts are ugly
[18:13] <andi5> jimmygoon: :-D ... actually i prefer pidgin anyway ... ;-)
[18:13] <Mudkipz> pidgin !
[18:13] <jimmygoon> andi5, ugh, for irc... mm, painful :(
[18:13] <eugen> i have download a kde
[18:13] <brobostigon> !pidgin
[18:13] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It is available in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but not previous versions. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0
[18:13] <Joe_> pdgin is godly... except for IRC
[18:13] <amish_> how do i verify my public key ??
[18:13] <Mudkipz> Joe_...
[18:14] <Mudkipz> who would use pidgin for irc... c'mon
[18:14] <Elf_> When I try to upgrade Dapper to 6.10 its want me to go all the way to 8.04 is there a way to fix this?
[18:14] <andi5> jimmygoon: it works... i am not a hard core ircler, so it suffices for me
[18:14] <amish_> when i update .. it says .." W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783
[18:14] <amish_>  "
[18:14] <jimmygoon> Mudkipz, andi5 does :D
[18:14] <Mudkipz> ew why?
[18:14] <bbby> i do, plays nice with mumbles
[18:14] <Joe_> mudkipz heh I did for about a day while I was getting everything set up :P
[18:14] <amish_> anyone there ??
[18:14] <jimmygoon> andi5, to each his/her own
[18:14] <dts> Jack_Sparrow i tried every possible setting
[18:14] <andi5> exactly
[18:14] <Mudkipz> ah I see
[18:14] <jimmygoon> amish_, you have to apt-key and add the gpg key for that repository
[18:14] <Mudkipz> I can't stand irc without the functionality of scripts and such
[18:14] <Joe_> to each his own... but if you don't do things the way I do you're wrong!
[18:14] <Owleto> and... if I tried to install flash directly with firefox (on gutsy, 32bit) and it didn't worked, now, how much damage have I did?
[18:14] <jimmygoon> amish_, add this key: http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg
[18:15] <Joe_> owleto you're fine, the repos are broke atm
[18:15] <jimmygoon> Owleto, "damage" likely none at all
[18:15] <amish_> jimmygoon : how do i add ??
[18:15] <jimmygoon> Joe_, still?!
[18:15] <Joe_> owleto goto adobe.com and download the tar file for the flash plugin, then run the flashplayer-installer that comes wth it and you'll be fine
[18:15] <jimmygoon> !gpgkey
[18:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gpgkey - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:15] <JinRoh> what fonts do you use in ubuntu? default fonts are ugly
[18:15] <jimmygoon> !apt-key
[18:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-key - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:16] <peepsalot> i tried enable powersave mode for snd_ac97_codec, and now there is a wretched loud pop everytime a sound starts playing?  is this to be expected.  is that the price to pay for power saving?
[18:16] <Joe_> jimmygoon think I've walked 3 people through it today after they complained it wasn't working :P
[18:16] <jv_> dang...
[18:16] <jimmygoon> amish_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[18:16] <jv_> can't fogure the sd card out
[18:16] <jimmygoon> Joe_, flash has been broken for a few days if I understand correctly
[18:16] <amish_> jimmygoon : thnx dude ...
[18:16] <jv_> it does not show in gparted
[18:16] <Elf_> If no one heard me Is there a way to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 instead of all the way to 8.04 like it wants me to????
[18:16] <Darkmystere> Jack_Sparrow: Keep this link in Mind Also could u add a factoid for me?http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=451011
[18:16] <jimmygoon> it was broken liek a week and a half ago and then two days ago I saw a buch of stuff got broken in the 7.10 repos
[18:16] <Joe_> jimmygoon I'd say a bit logner... I couldn't install it 2 weeks ago and had to do it manually frm adobe
[18:17] <jrib> Elf_: like what wants you toL
[18:17] <Darkmystere> Could Some 1 Add a factoid for me
[18:17] <jimmygoon> Joe_, ugh, thats... unacceptable, not that I can do anything about it
[18:17] <jrib> !ubotu > darkmystere (read the private message from ubotu)
[18:17] <Owleto> Joe_: ..Have I damaged something whilw trying do install directly from Firefox? Must I deistall something?
[18:17] <Joe_> jimmygoon if there's a painless way to do it, guess it isn't a priority
[18:17] <Elf_>  gksudo "update-manager -c -d " want to install 8.04
[18:18] <jrib> !upgrade > elf_ (read the private message from ubotu)
[18:18] <chimp> If using for example irssi in the terminal, the problem i have is it doesnt look distinctive in the task bar thing, so i dont know it represents irc is there anything that helps with this?
[18:18] <Joe_> owleto no, you're ok if you tried to install the adobe plugin from in firefox
[18:18] <Owleto> jimmygoon, joe: thanks
[18:18] <Joe_> owleto just goto adobe.com and download the tar file, then close firefox and run the installer and when you start up firefix you'll have flash!
[18:18] <Darkmystere> jrid: I found a factoid that needs to be added for Toshiba Sattilite A105 Series that has the sound card:ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01), And having sound problems
[18:19] <jrib> Elf_: though it would probably be faster for you to just reinstall and do 7.10 (current stable).  No real point in going to 6.10 since support is ending in a couple of months
[18:20] <lukasz> hey people
[18:20] <JarG0n> Does anything in Ubuntu create IPOD movies from DVD?
[18:20] <xiven> Hwey

[18:21] <xiven> I mean.it has an IP..but cant ping anything or connectto anything
[18:21] <jv_> sd card
[18:21] <jrib> Elf_: it's not stable at all.  It's the development version.  Your command upgrades to the development version.  It is the wrong command for upgrading.
[18:21] <jv_> be4 I go nuts
[18:21] <rolferic> hello, do anyone know if you can upgrade glibc-2.3.6 to at least glibc-2.4 in Ubuntu 6.06 lts safely without upgradeing ubuntu itself?

[18:35] <Blaise> but when I try and run it in Terminal it claims command not found?
[18:35] <KrisWood> Kungen354646, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DrawingTabletConfiguration
[18:35] <Kungen354646> ah i bet wacom is easier to install
[18:35] <lukasz> sudo SH file.run
[18:35] <jv_> SD anyone
[18:35] <Blaise> yeah I've read the wiki, nickrud
[18:35] <XBehave> ballongen: well im not sure if the beryl extention is in compiz fusion, but if you want find a working fps extention at the compiz fusion forum then it can be installed
[18:35] <lukasz> I have PowerShotSD870 IS
[18:35] <zhobbs> Joe_, yeah
[18:35] <KrisWood> Kungen354646, it was easy to install and a pain in the arse to configure
[18:35] <xiven> Don't I have to use my ISP's DNs server's?
[18:35] <nickrud> Blaise: That wiki works fine, I've used it for several versions now
[18:35] <Joe_> zhobbs if glxgears shows up on both monitors... then you should be fine...
[18:36] <lukasz> I dunno how to use it on Ubuntu thought
[18:36] <jimmygoon> http://i30.tinypic.com/2r7lcn7.jpg is really really a big problem
[18:36] <KrisWood> Kungen354646, I spent several hours tweaking the various settings to get it to function the way it does in windows
[18:36] <ballongen> XBehave: ok, just thought that there were an "view-fps-gnome" package or something, ok :)
[18:36] <zhobbs> yeah, if I drag video to secondary monitor it is all green lines and crap
[18:36] <nickrud> Blaise: ah, are you sure you're in the right directory?
[18:36] <lukasz> sudo SH ati driver name.run
[18:36] <Blaise> I'm in the directory the file is in, yes
[18:36] <Joe_> zhobbs but if you start it on that monitor does it do the same thing?
[18:36] <Filled-Void> KrisWood, You mgiht want to check out http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/
[18:36] <Blaise> might it be a faulty file?
[18:36] <agresor> anyone know some cool docks ?
[18:37] <lukasz> then sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:37] <zhobbs> Joe_, if I start it on the monitor it won't even play if I drag it to the primary monitor
[18:37] <Joe_> zhobbs for me if I start a movie on a monitor and drag it to one that's on another card it doesn't always work, but if I start i ton the other card it works fine
[18:37] <lukasz> and add fglrxinfo somewhere dunno where
[18:37] <lukasz> oops add flgrx
[18:37] <lukasz> FGLRX
[18:37] <Filled-Void> agresor, I use AWn but yuo could use SImdock also theres quite a few if I recall correctly.
[18:37] <XBehave> ballongen: tbh i didnt think of that there may be such a package
[18:37] <Joe_> zhobbs you sure both cards are fully supported by the driver you're using?
[18:37] <Blaise> what does SH do?
[18:37] <zhobbs> Joe_, yeah, video won't work at all on secondary
[18:37] <ballongen> ah, the compiz fusin benchmark works fine, heh thanks
[18:37] <zhobbs> Joe_, only using 1 card
[18:37] <Blaise> ah, I didn't do that, my bad
[18:37] <nickrud> Blaise: could be, but try  chmod u+x && ./ati---.run
[18:37] <Blaise> I notice  it in the wiki now
[18:37] <KrisWood> Filled-Void, nah, my intuos3 is happily back on my windows box along with all my other graphics software which sadly just doesn't work as well on my ubuntu box
[18:37] <Joe_> one card and have that problem... strange...
[18:37] <quittt_> is it possible, after generating my Debian menu, change it?
[18:38] <Kungen354646> KrisWood: k, the problem i have now is that i cant get both the mouse working like a mouse and the tablet as a tablet
[18:38] <zhobbs> Joe_, yeah, didn't happen in the distro I was using previously with similar xorg.conf :)
[18:38] <quittt_> I want to do some modifications on it, so that it applies in all WM that I do have
[18:38] <agresor> Filled-Void,  i'm looking for you know.. some cool transparented info of CPU , memory stats.. process.. etc... on my desktop.. ?
[18:38] <Joe_> zhobbs nvidia card?
[18:38] <agresor> You know how to get that ?
[18:38] <zhobbs> Joe_, yeah
[18:38] <Joe_> try using twinview instead?
[18:38] <KrisWood> Kungen354646, yeah I had the same problem, I don't remember how I resolved it
[18:39] <Joe_> sudo nvidia-settings will give you a pretty easy to use settings editor so you don't have to manually edit xorg.conf
[18:39] <Fatih_Akdeniz> i need ubuntu graphical web editor
[18:39] <Kungen354646> KrisWood: could u check ur xorg.conf plz? :)
[18:39] <Filled-Void> agresor,gdesklets, screenlets, conky are the ones I use.  Ive written a few how to's for gdesklets, conky and screenlets at filledvoid.com
[18:39] <lukasz> I need to know how I can use my digital cam on ubuntu
[18:39] <agresor> thanks ;d
[18:39] <KrisWood> Kungen354646, ok I'll bbiab gotta go to my linux box to check it
[18:39] <zhobbs> Joe_, thanks, I'll check it out
[18:39] <lukasz> !digital
[18:39] <nickrud> quittt_: I think you're looking for the files in /usr/share/menu
[18:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about digital - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:40] <Kungen354646> KrisWood: ok ty
[18:40] <zhobbs> Joe_, I'm also having some issue with where new windows are placed...but I think that's more kde specific
[18:40] <nickrud> !webcam | lukasz
[18:40] <ubotu> lukasz: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[18:40] <Joe_> zhobbs hope it helps... I had problems with my two nvidia cards and getting Xinerama to work(4 monitors), ended up doing two twinviews and then Xinerama and it works now
[18:40] <lukasz> NOT WEBCAM
[18:40] <Joe_> zhobbs wouldn't know about that, I use GNOME
[18:40] <lukasz> DIGITAL CAMERA
[18:40] <bored_in_khobar> hi all any efax gurus here?
[18:40] <Joe_> !caps > lukasz
[18:40] <nickrud> lukasz: oh, a camera :0
[18:40] <Filled-Void> lukasz, You cant access the pictures you took?
[18:41] <lukasz> yeah Filled-Void
[18:41] <zhobbs> Joe_, thanks...with twinview each monitor is a different desktop?
[18:41] <Kungen354646> does any1 else use a trust tablet in ubuntu?
[18:41] <Filled-Void> lukasz, USB cable?
[18:41] <Joe_> zhobbs no, extended display... only thing I don't like about it is that maximize window spans both monitors
[18:41] <lukasz> i could try i didn't try it yet Filled-void
[18:41] <lukasz> sory my bad
[18:42] <nickrud> rflol
[18:42] <Filled-Void> lukasz, PLug in the cable from the camera to the system it should prompt you to open the folder by itself
[18:42] <lukasz> ok thnx
[18:42] <Filled-Void> lukasz, np . You dont have to worry about experimenting with Ubuntu . It wont blow your system to Kingdom Come :)
[18:42] <Methos_> ok, where is the best place to store all my data?
[18:42] <EcoBlue> How well would ubuntu use nvidia dualnet?
[18:42] <nickrud> Methos_: in your home directory.
[18:42] <penars> my laptop doesn't shutdown. it shows the ubuntu logo and freezes and i have to manually turn power off
[18:42] <Joe_> methos_ all your data?
[18:43] <penars> how do you fix this
[18:43] <Mudkipz> Methos_, burn it to DVD
[18:43] <Filled-Void> Methos_, IN your Home directory?
[18:43] <Methos_> err ok
[18:43] <lukasz> Filled-void where can I find the foder where camera is located?
[18:43] <Methos_> where is the home directory located anyway?
[18:43] <Filled-Void> lukasz, Did you plug it in?
[18:43] <Joe_> methos_ /home/<Your username>
[18:43] <Methos_> ah ok, thanks
[18:43] <lukasz> yes Filled-void
[18:44] <Darkmystere> Could some 1 help me get my splash screen working i know it boots faster without but its kinda boring watching the black screen witht he words..
[18:44] <KrisWood|Ubuntu> Kungen354646: ok on my ubuntu box, will copy the xorg.conf to pastebin for you in a sec
[18:44] <Darkmystere> for like 3-4mins
[18:44] <jack-desktop> when saving backups, would ".1" be the newest or the oldest?
[18:44] <Filled-Void> lukasz, Did it prompt you to view the pictures?
[18:44] <lukasz> er it was import
[18:44] <Methos_> ok then, now where should i place a driver .inf file that i'm going to use with ndiswrapper?
[18:44] <lukasz> I don't wonna import it
[18:44] <nickrud> !fhs | Methos_
[18:44] <ubotu> Methos_: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview
[18:45] <Filled-Void> lukasz, ON your desktop does it have a new icon of a drive?
[18:45] <penars> my laptop doesn't shutdown. it shows the ubuntu logo and freezes and i have to manually turn power off. how do i fix this so it turns off computer automatically
[18:45] <rhs_> !flashissues
[18:45] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[18:45] <Fatih_Akdeniz> i need ubuntu graphical web editor program
[18:45] <nickrud> penars: are you using the fglrx driver from ubuntu?
[18:45] <lukasz> its not there Filled-Void
[18:45] <Filled-Void> lukasz, One sec let me check here
[18:46] <penars> nickrud: don't know. i just installed it
[18:46] <KrisWood|Ubuntu> Kungen354646: here you go http://pastebin.com/m7e0801d7
[18:46] <lukasz> oki
[18:46] <Kungen354646> KrisWood: ty! lets hope it helps
[18:46] <KrisWood|Ubuntu> Kungen354646: I can't guarantee that this is a working config for you though, but it's what I was using
[18:46] <Filled-Void> I WOuld check Places > Pictures or for icons called sd soemthing on your desktop (Dont quote me on this though)
[18:46] <Methos_> nickrud, thats great and all, but isn't there a simple answer you can give me? like "place the driver file *here*?"
[18:47] <Methos_> or should i just run it from my home directory?
[18:47] <Mudkipz> Fatih_Akdeniz, http://www.emmaalvarez.com/2007/12/top-best-50-ubuntu-opensource.html
[18:47] <brobostigon> Methos_: it doesnt matter where, just somewhere where it csn read it from
[18:47] <nickrud> Methos_: that wasn't in answer to the inf question, just some info on what directories are where
[18:47] <lukasz> hmm
[18:47] <kikr> xserver-xorg-core won't update correctly for me
[18:47] <Methos_> okt hank you

[18:47] <Strider_> Question: For some strange reason the new install of 7.10 is incorrectly detecting my GPU (BFG 7300 GT). Instead it's showing up a "Mesa" card. Any ideas?
[18:47] <armine> hello
[18:48] <jimmygoon> does this look safe for getting kde4 on gutsy?
[18:48] <jimmygoon> http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2008/01/installing-kde-4-on-your-ubuntu-710.html
[18:48] <Kungen354646> KrisWood: i use a trust tablet, and after looking around it seems like wacom is more supported, but maybe i modify this or something :)
[18:48] <nickrud> Methos_: but as a general rule, when you download something you're going to do work with later your Desktop is a good place
[18:48] <armine> is the gstreamer-ffmpeg (or somethin like that) enough to play divX?
[18:48] <kikr> fixed
[18:48] <KrisWood> Kungen354646, I'd never heard of a trust tablet before you mentioned it today :-/
[18:49] <alys> A friend has told me that Ubuntu will install without problems on an iMac.  Is this right - and how is it done, please?
[18:49] <nickrud> penars: the reason I asked was that video driver is known to cause problems similar to that.
[18:49] <neko_> hello world !
[18:49] <Joe_> alys insert CD, click install?
[18:49] <KrisWood> alys, On an intel mac it should work fine, I'm not sure how its install differs if at all though
[18:49] <alys> Ok - thanks, joe

[18:51] <KrisWood> Kungen354646, That's exactly why I did buy the wacom, because I knew it had a good reputation and had used them in art school, It ate a huge chunk of my tax return but it was worth every cent.

[18:53] <Blaise> but I was getting the warning with it
[18:53] <Kungen354646> KrisWood: well i guess it depends what ur gonna use it for :)
