[06:31] <chalcedony> eboyjr: when i hilght there i have "switch between workspaces"

[06:39] <logreeval> the resizing partition thing has been sitting here for like 5 minutes at 0 percent?
[06:39] <wols_> cabajgtr: no. you can only boot off stuff that is supported by BIOS. you will need a bootfloppy or a boot cd, etc
[06:40] <cabajgtr> ok, but with a boot cd, shouldn't I be able to boot to the firewire?

[06:45] <chalcedony> i hope this is an easier question, if i want to transfer files from my linux box to someone's apache server, how do i do that?
[06:45] <CVD> ?
[06:45] <wols_> raddy: nobody said custom. just use another ubuntu kernel
[06:45] <raddy> wols_: another means??
[06:45] <wols_> chalcedony: depends what this other guy runs that allows file uploads
[06:45] <wols_> raddy: another kernel. different vresion

[06:46] <eboyjr> Jamesinator: Thanks!
[06:47] <need4speed> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27572/  <--ok here. vmware still not remove. :(
[06:47] <wols_> usually, apache does not allow uploads directly
[06:47] <chalcedony> wols_: i guess ill have to wait till he gets here to find that out, are there choices?
[06:47] <wols_> chalcedony: ssh, ftp, webdav, etc
[06:48] <need4speed> i just did paste it to the right website wols
[06:48] <chalcedony> wols_: he said "ftp" but i'm sure that is not what will work from my box
[06:48] <osxdude|palmTX> gbye
[06:48] <need4speed> and i did typed dpkg -l |grep vmware
[06:48] <raddy> wols_: is multiple kernels available for Ubuntu 7.04??
[06:49] <wols_>  raddy considering there was just a security update not long ago yes. also where did I say aynthing about feisty only?

[06:50] <ubotu> earnest: 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?
[06:50] <logreeval> Hi, I just got the partition split in half. Now, what do I do for the swap and what do i do for the main ubuntu partition?, what file type, mount area.. etc
[06:51] <logreeval> please, anybody?
[06:52] <eboyjr> logreeval: linux format is ext3
[06:52] <wols_> logreeval: less open ended questions. be specific
[06:52] <logreeval> ok
[06:52] <earnest> how to solve my audio,vedio defects?
[06:52] <eboyjr> logreeval: main linux mount is just a slash '/"
[06:53] <logreeval> I get error, file system doesn't have expected for windows to like
[06:53] <need4speed> sudo dpkg -l |grep vmware  <-- when i typed this now, i see no result, but when i install vmware again it says previous installation has been detected.
[06:53] <logreeval> thank you for the help
[06:53] <wols_> earnest: don't just rephrase your anyone question if you want help
[06:53] <wols_> logreeval: that is no error. it's broken english
[06:53] <wols_> tell us th real error
[06:53] <need4speed> sudo dpkg --purge vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.6.20-16   <-- i used this command to remove vmware, but still i cant install fresh vmware, any help?
[06:53] <need4speed> sorry wols_
[06:54] <Cra1> how do i read and overwrite a particular line of a file from terminal?
[06:54] <wols_> need4speed: how did you install vmware before?
[06:54] <wols_> automatix or manually or such?
[06:54] <wols_> also, have you checked if the vmware kernel moduels are still loaded?
[06:54] <need4speed> someone instructed me to use automatix and it didnt install it
[06:54] <wols_> !automatix
[06:54] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:54] <logreeval> File system doesn't have expected sizes for windows to like it. Cluster size is 2k(1k expected); number of clusters is 20017 (39957 expected); size of fats is 79 sectors (157 expected).
[06:55] <wols_> then we cannot help you. ask automatix people. they broke it, they fix it
[06:55] <wols_> logreeval: why doy ou create a fat partition?
[06:55] <need4speed> hehehee
[06:55] <logreeval> I have media direct from dell and system restore from dell
[06:56] <wols_> logreeval: then ask dell. they are supposed to support you
[06:56] <wols_> logreeval: I don't get why you need us
[06:56] <logreeval> because i dont know what to do
[06:56] <wols_> ask dell
[06:56] <logreeval> but i have voided the contract by trying to install this
[06:57] <wols_> what are you trying to do? install ubuntu?
[06:57] <wols_> if so: make some free unallocated space on the disk and let ubuntu do the rest
[06:57] <wols_> cause obviously paritionting manually is above your capaobilities
[06:57] <rockets> Anybody tried out google desktop for linux yet?
[06:57] <logreeval> install ubuntu for a xp/ubuntu dual boot
[06:57] <need4speed> anyways
[06:57] <logreeval> but it doesnt have that option
[06:57] <DerangedDingo> Hey all, I'm having some trouble with VNC. I got the server to work perfectly, but if someone tries to connect to it they get a blank page
[06:57] <need4speed> how do i check if vmware kernel module is loaded?
[06:58] <Frustian> Is there any way to install/upgrade a 64 bit ubuntu on a 32 bit ubuntu (I doubt it, but if it's possible it could save me a lot of work)
[06:58] <wols_> need4speed: man lsmod
[06:58] <wols_> Frustian: no. reinstall
[06:58] <need4speed> ok
[06:58] <Frustian> k, ty
[06:58] <logreeval> now i cant put my other partition back :(
[06:58] <logreeval> i am so confused
[06:59] <Cra1> how can i edit a particular line in a file from terminal?
[06:59] <wols_> nano <file>
[06:59] <logreeval> should it be "Primary" or "Logical"
[07:00] <xerox_5555> hello
[07:00] <wols_> logreeval: doesn't matter
[07:00] <bung> why do i keep seeing a "http cache cleaner" appear in my taskbar every few hours?
[07:00] <need4speed> vboxdrv   <--is this the vmware kernel module?
[07:00] <xerox_5555> how is change the splah
[07:00] <xerox_5555> splash
[07:00] <wols_> need4speed: that is virtualbox
[07:00] <DerangedDingo> bung: is it when you try and run a KDE app?
[07:00] <wols_> !pslash
[07:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pslash - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:00] <logreeval> now, i keep getting the error...can i click ignore?
[07:01] <Cra1> bung: i think it's something in firefox, fixing the "memory leak" by clearing out old cache

[07:02] <logreeval> do you know?
[07:02] <Hazarath> Ok, whomever helped me before: xserver is now totally inopratable.
[07:02] <DerangedDingo> bung: probably it, but I don't understand why it would for Amarok... it doesn't use a connection unless it's retrieving artwork.. so.. that's wierd
[07:03] <thefallenarchan1> hello
[07:03] <thefallenarchan1> does anyone here have an acer aspire 5050-3371?
[07:03] <Hazarath> Need to recover my xserver, tried to install ATI's drivers, and it went... well, it went.

[07:04] <crdlb> Hazarath, what card?
[07:04] <slavik> xerox_5555: what is the 2 letter extension for turkish top level domain ???
[07:04] <Hazarath> crdlb, ATI Redion 9100.
[07:04] <thefallenarchan1> newbie to linux and needin some help
[07:04] <DerangedDingo> Can anyone here help me with VNC?
[07:04] <crdlb> Hazarath, that card is not supported by ati's drivers
[07:04] <deaden> any public bitlbee irc servers?
[07:05] <DerangedDingo> thefallenarchan1: whatcha need help with
[07:05] <crdlb> Hazarath, if you're on feisty
[07:05] <Hazarath> crdlb, got 6.10.
[07:05] <eboyjr> What are all of the different versions about?
[07:05] <thefallenarchan1> i have an acer aspire 5050-3371 with the atheros 5007g wireless chipset i have done ndiswrapper as well as madwifi and can't get it to rec. the chip
[07:05] <crdlb> Hazarath, how did you install the driver?
[07:05] <eboyjr> Feisty, Gusty, Breezy
[07:05] <chohmann> xerox_5555: #ubuntu.tr
[07:06] <xerox_5555> chohmann, thanks
[07:06] <Hazarath> crdlb, with the Howto from ubotu.
[07:06] <DerangedDingo> thefallenarchan1: so you can't use wireless internet?
[07:06] <thefallenarchan1> right
[07:06] <alecw1> Is it possible to add a .desktop file to Avant Windows Manager?
[07:06] <thefallenarchan1> i have even tried driverloader
[07:06] <crdlb> Hazarath, ok just: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[07:06] <Jordan_U> thefallenarchan1, Did you remove NDIS wrapper before trying madwifi?
[07:06] <crdlb> and choose the "ati" driver
[07:06] <thefallenarchan1> yes
[07:07] <thefallenarchan1> i am used to mandrake ubuntu is new to me
[07:07] <DerangedDingo> thefallenarchan1: Did you search the distributor's website for Linux drivers?
[07:07] <Hazarath> crdlb, again, xserver is dead. I need to recover the server before I can do anything. x.x
[07:07] <thefallenarchan1> yea with no prevail
[07:07] <crdlb> Hazarath, you can do that from the terminal
[07:07] <cabajgtr> Does anyone no of a good tutorial to use a grub boot cd to load a ubuntu off a firewire drive?
[07:08] <thefallenarchan1> if i type lspci it shows its an atheros but it also says unident.
[07:08] <Hazarath> crdlb, ok, I'll run it from the command prompt from recovery mode.
[07:08] <logreeval> the forward button of "Migrate Documents and Settings" doesnt work
[07:08] <crdlb> Hazarath, that works, but you don't need the sudo then
[07:08] <crdlb> since you're root in recovery mode
[07:08] <Hazarath> crdlb, all I CAN do. x.x
[07:08] <dadeEldron> Hey I have been trying to figure out why I can't play movies and mp3's  for a while, I used those links to try and figure it out but I just don't know what I am doing wrong.. Should it be so complicated to get playback for this stuff?
[07:09] <DerangedDingo> thefallenarchan1: I don't know much about this, all I can suggest is that A) you prolly need a driver, and B) Ubuntu can't recognize it
[07:09] <dadeEldron> do most of you just convert to ogg format?
[07:09] <wols_> dadeEldron: install vlc. instant video
[07:09] <wols_> thefallenarchan1: update-pciids as root
[07:09] <thefallenarchan1> it is trying to use the restricted driver but when i open network manger it shows a wired connection and dial up but no wireless
[07:10] <DerangedDingo> Can anyone here help me with VNC?
[07:10] <dr_willis> dadeEldron,  you just need to install the right packages.
[07:10] <dr_willis> DerangedDingo,  what sort of help.. i use vnc quite often.
[07:10] <Hazarath> crdlb, how do I tell it to restart from BASH?
[07:10] <dadeEldron> I am installing vlc right now
[07:11] <dadeEldron> lets see....
[07:11] <DerangedDingo> dr_willis: thank you! I configured the server and opened a port for the server to use, but if a client tries to connect they get a blank page
[07:11] <CVD> why the update manager say  "A parcial Upgrade"?
[07:11] <dr_willis> dadeEldron,  for mp3 theres a few packages ya may need to install.
[07:11] <zacwitte> the nvidia drivers seem to be locking my computer at a black screen. I can't even kill X or switch to another terminal. any ideas how i can debug this?
[07:11] <crdlb> Hazarath, if you run that dpkg-reconfigure command in recovery mode, then reboot into regular ubuntu, X will try to start
[07:11] <thefallenarchan1> wols i have just updated anyhthing else i should do
[07:11] <synchroph> hi guys, please help me with playing .swf files in totem
[07:12] <wols_> thefallenarchan1: that simply should take care of unident lspci entries
[07:12] <DerangedDingo> dr_willis: they can connect, but, maybe because the server is on display :1 and i'm the only user on this computer there's no screen to load?
[07:12] <need4speed> anyways is there bridge option in virtualbox besides nat or internal network?
[07:12] <Naisenu> How do I install a .bin file? I double-clicked it and it tried to open in Firefox and gave errors. Went to a terminal typed: sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin and got "Command Not Found" (Yes it was in the right directory.) Per this link, it appears to be correct syntax: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-61650.html
[07:12] <thefallenarchan1> a reboot necc.?
[07:12] <dr_willis> DerangedDingo,  i recall that the vncserver  packages (or some of them) goofed up and did not start a window manager. You just got a X display with no  window manager. To fix this I copied the vnc config file from /etc to the users dir (with the right name) and edited it to make it run my users .vnc/xstartup script (which is now VNC used to work)
[07:12] <wols_> thefallenarchan1: you should check madwifi.org i if they support your chipset and if they do use their drivers. ndiswrapper otherwise
[07:12] <dadeEldron> well vlc works
[07:13] <thefallenarchan1> i have used mawifi and ndiswrapper niether of them have worked
[07:13] <dadeEldron> how can associate all movie files with vlc
[07:13] <dadeEldron> ?
[07:13] <Hazarath> crdlb, ok, x is working... now, to see if 3D support is... :s
[07:13] <thefallenarchan1> ndiswrapper said invailid driver and madwifi just dont work
[07:13] <crdlb> Hazarath, it won't be
[07:13] <wols_> !doesn't work | thefallenarchan1
[07:13] <ubotu> thefallenarchan1: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[07:13] <crdlb> Hazarath, sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg-driver-fglrx
[07:13] <wols_> dadeEldron: "open with"
[07:13] <crdlb> that will give you free 3d support back
[07:14] <dadeEldron> thx
[07:14] <thefallenarchan1> after i install madwifi i iwconfig and it says no wireless
[07:14] <thefallenarchan1> for lo and eth0
[07:14] <wols_> thefallenarchan1: then check if drivres are loaded
[07:14] <wols_> thefallenarchan1: check dmesg
[07:14] <DerangedDingo> dr_willis: ... I'm.. confused.. I copy my /etc/vnc.conf file to my client's home directory?
[07:15] <dr_willis> DerangedDingo,  read the  file its comments tell it what it needs to be called in theusers home dir.
[07:15] <dadeEldron> whew!!!! thanks wols_
[07:15] <Hazarath> crdlb, ok, I'll restart x, and then run what to verfy I got 3D?
[07:15] <wols_> !codecs | dadeEldron
[07:15] <ubotu> dadeEldron: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[07:15] <thefallenarchan1> what should i be lookin for the inf ????
[07:15] <dr_willis> DerangedDingo,  this is common practice for a lot of tools.  the system wide config can be copied/renamed, and tweaked.
[07:15] <crdlb> Hazarath, you don't need to restart X, and: glxinfo|grep direct
[07:15] <dadeEldron> now which packages do I need to make amarok play mp3?
[07:15] <dadeEldron> I tried that page
[07:15] <wols_> thefallenarchan1: I told you
[07:15] <dadeEldron> I did what it said
[07:16] <wols_> dadeEldron: ubtou told you
[07:16] <dadeEldron> I still can't play
[07:16] <dadeEldron> I heard your bot
[07:16] <dr_willis> DerangedDingo,  # After this file, $(HOME)/.vncrc will be sourced, so values can be
[07:16] <dadeEldron> I went to those 2 websites
[07:16] <mikel> moin
[07:16] <thefallenarchan1> i have alot of  rejecting I/O to dead device
[07:16] <thefallenarchan1>
[07:16] <DerangedDingo> dr_willis: OK, sorry for the stupid reply earlier. i'll give it a go. but.. I'm a tad bit confused
[07:16] <jcapote> if i were to install ubuntu using one video card, and then swap it with another video card will it be able to reconfigure itself?
[07:17] <dr_willis> DerangedDingo,  so copy it to .vncrc then tweak it to death. :) i change the line that says...    # $vncStartup = "/etc/X11/Xsession";
[07:17] <DerangedDingo> I'll return later with questions if it doesn't work
[07:17] <Hazarath> crdlb: libGl warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
[07:17] <DerangedDingo> ok
[07:17] <DerangedDingo> thanks!
[07:17] <crdlb> Hazarath, harmless, everybody gets that
[07:17] <dr_willis> DerangedDingo,   change that line/uncomment it. and point it to some x startup script you make. run 'xterm & and some window manager' in it.
[07:17] <wols_> dadeEldron: and what info did you take from the first link?
[07:17] <Hazarath> crdlbThe other reply is yes.
[07:17] <chowmeined> jcapote: you could try
[07:17] <chowmeined> jcapote: if you have another computer handy, i could help you get it working if it fails
[07:17] <wols_> jcapote: depends on the videocards used
[07:18] <jcapote> chowmeined: im using some bullshit pci one now, then im putting in a brand new nvidia
[07:18] <crdlb> Hazarath, then you now have 3d acceleration with the open source driver
[07:18] <chowmeined> jcapote: what model?
[07:18] <jcapote> 7300gt
[07:18] <wols_> jcapote: the crrent pci one
[07:18] <Hazarath> crdlb, now, if VLC will play back properly so my subtitles will work. o.o;;;
[07:18] <jcapote> the pci one is a rage 128
[07:18] <jcapote> old skool
[07:18] <wols_> jcapote: you will need new drivers
[07:18] <wols_> when you install the 7300gt
[07:19] <chowmeined> wols_: wont it still work (poorly) with 'vesa'?
[07:19] <jcapote> wols_: i know, but will ubuntu detect the card and force a software update
[07:19] <chowmeined> sure it wont be accelerated.. but wont it still work?
[07:19] <funjon> so, has anyone else seen an instance where an ubu 6.06 box running Apache2 will be doing nslokups on IPs in the access logs even though the apache2.conf file has 'HostnameLookups Off' set?
[07:19] <wols_> chowmeined: sure. but he'd be stupid to buy a 7300gt and use it with vesa :)
[07:19] <wols_> jcapote: no
[07:19] <chowmeined> wols_: just so he isnt stuck without a graphical environment when he reboots
[07:19] <villa77> hola
[07:19] <wols_> jcapote: but it depends on what driver you use now
[07:19] <Hazarath> crdlb, ok, lost overlay support. I can't play video.
[07:20] <wols_> jcapote: sooner or later you have to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:20] <crdlb> Hazarath, what's the exact error?
[07:20] <thefallenarchan1> still no wireless but restricted drivers says it is in use
[07:20] <thefallenarchan1> hal
[07:20] <jcapote> wols_: ah ok, thats all i needed
[07:20] <serenecloud> has anyone had any luck getting Office 2000 to run properly with WINE?
[07:20] <dadeEldron> I went to that website... then I followed the instructions for 7.04...a.dfgadga.  ohhh wait I am an idiot....
[07:20] <Hazarath> crdlb, I open a film, I get a blue screen, and the sound plays, no video.
[07:20] <cafuego> whut?
[07:20] <wols_> dadeEldron: good thing you said it and not me
[07:20] <rockets> Anybody know a way to make X restart on logout with KDM
[07:21] <crdlb> Hazarath, have you tried anything other than VLC?
[07:21] <dadeEldron> hahahah thanks though
[07:21] <crdlb> Hazarath, you're not using compiz/beryl are you?
[07:21] <jcapote> wols_: so dpkg-reconfigure will trigger the restricted drivers manager and stuff
[07:21] <wols_> jcapote: no
[07:21] <Hazarath> crdlb, tried with 'Movie Player', black screen, but same.
[07:21] <theRealballchalk> http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/hatsoff/index.html?cid=251015
[07:21] <wols_> jcapote: it configures Xorg
[07:21] <Hazarath> brb
[07:21] <jcapote> wols_: then via automatix i could install the restricted nvidia driver
[07:22] <defrysk> !autoamtix > jcapote
[07:22] <defrysk> !automatix > jcapote
[07:22] <wols_> jcapote: if you use autoamtix you won#t get any support here
[07:22] <wols_> !automatix | jcapote
[07:22] <ubotu> jcapote: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[07:22] <MISTERTibbs> jcapote, everything I've seen about ubunut and automatix says don't do it.
[07:22] <jcapote> oh nm then
[07:23] <bluebanana> I would like to know: How can I make a backup copy of the files on my PDA onto a backup folder in my computer?
[07:23] <jcapote> ive only used it for very basic tasks
[07:23] <jcapote> i was a fan of easyubuntu myself
[07:23] <Hazarath> crdlb, what did you ask? I'm using 6.10, I think that's 'Edgy'?
[07:23] <MISTERTibbs> jcapote, y not synaptic?
[07:23] <wols_> jcapote: doesn't natter. as soon as you use it for _anything_: no support
[07:23] <pentagramjohnson> hey does anyone know of a good kde or gnome program that can convert video files into either psp video files or ipod videos files (.mp4)?
[07:23] <wols_> !eayubuntu
[07:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about eayubuntu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:23] <crdlb> Hazarath, maybe try restarting X? I've never heard of that happening

[07:24] <serenecloud> has anyone had any luck getting Office 2000 to run properly with WINE?
[07:24] <wols_> jcapote: if you want help here, you use synaptic or apt-get
[07:24] <Hazarath> crdlb, No idea?
[07:24] <crdlb> Hazarath, 3d effects?
[07:24] <jcapote> MISTERTibbs: dont get me wrong i use synaptic/apt-get for 99% of the things i install, theres just some things that i dont know of all the packages needed to get working
[07:24] <wols_> Hazarath: dri enabled/disabled?
[07:24] <Hazarath> Er... huh?
[07:24] <crdlb> wols_, enabled
[07:25] <Hazarath> Ah, driver.
[07:25] <pentagramjohnson> hey does anyone know of any good programs that can convert video files into either psp video files or ipod videos files (.mp4)?

[07:25] <jcapote> pentagramjohnson: ffmpeg

[07:46] <Frustian> When I logged on today, the update manager had 902(!) updates, considering I fully updated yesterday it's quite weird, but halfway through installing the update manager gave an error and wouldn't boot up the update manager, it gave a description saying if I enter "sudo apt-get install -f", it would work, so I did and it worked.  After it finished updating, the font characters are all screwed up (The popup for entering your admin p

[07:46] <Flannel> eboyjr: You have a home folder.  That's where all your stuff goes.  You'll probably want to break it down further, with whatever directory structure you'd like.
[07:46] <enviouz> SomoneSomwhere:  are you using the open drivers or restricted ones?
[07:47] <wols_> mo0osah: no. glxgears is not a nenchmark or test program for 3D hardware accel
[07:47] <SomoneSomwhere> enviouz Most likely restricted Im on a live DVD testing things
[07:47] <wols_> SomoneSomwhere: what videocard, what driver?
[07:47] <defrysk> mo0osah, even if I did its not a benchmarker, to check direct rendering do : glxinfo | grep direct
[07:47] <eboyjr> Flannel: So I can put something like "docs" in /home/docs? ( is a good idea )
[07:47] <mo0osah> ohh ok
[07:47] <xoqa> help, i have no sound when i play a dvd!

[07:47] <Flannel> eboyjr: well, your home folder is /home/username/  (or ~/ for short), but yes.  docs, or whatever.

[07:54] <zero-9376> wols_: that sounded harsher than it was

[08:01] <enviouz> DrkCodeman:  the p2p scene is pretty much like this. frostwire/limewire = music. amule/emule = any and everything old. torrents = any and everything extremely new
[08:01] <SurfnKid> Does anyone have an Dell I6400 that could point me in the right direction as to where to find a howto on the mmc/sd card reader

[08:05] <wols_> Hazarath: don't "believe" check. we're not a faith based distro here. we want facts
[08:06] <Hazarath> wols_, Ok, so, how do I enable said driver?
[08:06] <wols_> via dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[08:08] <Kprofthreat> Can anyone help me resize my Windows partition with QTParted? It says active for that one, and the resize option is greyed out.
[08:09] <CyberWorld> thing is it has worked out of box with SUSE
[08:09] <CyberWorld> so it IS possible
[08:09] <Dev05> Kprofthreat, Install ntfsprogs :)
[08:09] <CyberWorld> like a kernel module or something?
[08:09] <Frogzoo> Kprofthreat: is it currently mounted?
[08:10] <Kprofthreat> Frogzoo: Yes.
[08:10] <Frogzoo> Kprofthreat: and just a tip - boot windows & defrag before you go further
[08:10] <Hazarath> wols_, do I need to re-start x?
[08:10] <Kprofthreat> Frogzoo: Already did.
[08:10] <Hazarath> wols_, After setting up said driver.
[08:10] <Frogzoo> Kprofthreat: gparted won't touch a mounted file system
[08:10] <enviouz> Hazarath:  startx //
[08:11] <wols_> Hazarath: yes
[08:11] <Hazarath> wols_, command didn't work, restarting system.
[08:12] <AzMoo> Hey, is there any way to make a partition smaller?
[08:12] <Hillview> hi.. anyone familiar with xfce4?  I'm trying to figure out why xfdesktop loads and then quits when I log in via gdm.
[08:12] <B1zz> when i try to run a scrip in the shell i get the following error /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Permission denied.  Any ideas?
[08:12] <AzMoo> B1zz: what are the permissions on your bash executable?
[08:13] <B1zz> emm, i am running as root
[08:13] <B1zz> is that what you mean?
[08:13] <Cras2> how do i mount my cd writer?
[08:13] <AzMoo> B1zz: no, what are the permissions? ls -l /bin/bash
[08:13] <wols_> Cras2: like any other CDROM
[08:13] <Frogzoo> Kprofthreat: also, you're doing this on feisty??
[08:13] <Chikubu> ive lost my gui on start up, i just get a terminal logon now, i log in and do "startx" and it gives me a desktop, but would like the old behaviour back....any ideas?
[08:14] <Cras2> i check under system>administration>system moniter>devices
[08:14] <Cras2> its not there
[08:14] <Kprofthreat> Frogzoo: Roger
[08:14] <Cras2> mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0
[08:14] <Frogzoo> Chikubu: why isn't /etc/rc2.d/S*gdm running ?
[08:14] <Cras2> dosn't work
[08:14] <Frogzoo> Kprofthreat: kk, then you're good to go
[08:15] <Hazarath> wols_, ok, got video back, but, now thinks refresh poorly.
[08:15] <Hazarath> Er... things
[08:15] <Chikubu> im not sure, i also belive in in the wrong channel its xubuntu
[08:15] <Cras2> says block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only and its the wrong fs type bad option bad superblock on /dev/hdc
[08:16] <Cras2> wols_: any ideas?
[08:16] <Flannel> Cras2: hdc is probably your CDrom drive.  Which makes sense for it to be read only
[08:17] <Cras2> Flannel: so do i need to do mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0
[08:17] <Cras2> ?
[08:18] <Hazarath> wols_, got my post?
[08:18] <Frustian> Does anybody have any idea why system applications (synaptic, terminal, admin log on prompt) all use square blocks instead of letters? and my beryl suddenly stopped working, creating horrible frame rates, with the cpu at idle.  the 3d cube works perfectly, but you can't resize a window.

[08:29] <Flannel> CyberMad: that's because you're not allowed to use sudo.  Which is what you wanted.

[08:31] <Hobbsee> nixternal: i went to +m first, as i don thave an alias to the other
[08:31] <nixternal> hey everyone, bear with us for one moment, we apologize for this
[08:32] <nixternal> Hobbsee: that is perfect actually, because my rr didn't work at first :)
[08:32] <Hobbsee> heh
[08:33] <Neoagent> l
[08:33] <Frogzoo> Chikubu: dunno what's wrong - really hard to tell from here - what did you do to break it ?
[08:33] <Neoagent> wols_: I did the FixResolution walkthrough, and now X server wont launch after reboot, no screens, (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration, what can i do to fix this?
[08:34] <wols_> Neoagent: check your Xorg.log then
[08:34] <Jordan_U> Neoagent, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[08:35] <Neoagent> how can i do that?
[08:35] <Neoagent> it wont let me enter commands or anything
[08:35] <Jordan_U> Neoagent, Switch tty's with ctrl+alt+F1
[08:35] <Neoagent> ok
[08:35] <wols_> Neoagent: grey background with X cursor?
[08:36] <kiosk> Any one know how to make WMA play with HelixPlayer
[08:36] <Neoagent> wols_: It just asks me if I would like to view the error logs, then i click ok and ok and then it takes me to a black dos-like screen and wont let me enter anythin
[08:36] <nixternal> SORRY AGAIN EVERYONE!
[08:36] <Neoagent> nevermind, it just launched
[08:36] <Frogzoo> this could get tedious..
[08:37] <Madpilot> Frogzoo, GNAA is generally tedious.
[08:37] <nixternal> yes they are...unintelligent morons
[08:37] <Neoagent> Jordan_U: what if i just want the config for my monitor?
[08:37] <Neoagent> not everything else
[08:38] <Jordan_U> Neoagent, What do you mean?
[08:38] <robj> for anyone that wants to know the Dell Ubuntu laptop is a phenominal machine for the price
[08:38] <Neoagent> i dont know, i just want more resolution options :(
[08:38] <robj> just got mine today to replace this one and wow what a box
[08:38] <Neoagent> Samsung Syncmaster 997DF monitor
[08:39] <CyberMad> so, how do i open the Users and Groups ?? i can't open it..
[08:39] <kiosk> robj whats the specs?
[08:39] <CyberMad> too bad! :(
[08:39] <Flannel> CyberMad: You don't.  You don't have sudo access.  Only root can do that.
[08:39] <robj> dual core 1.73 Ghz proc, 1 gig RAM, 15.4" wide display, nVidia 7300LE 256 Meg RAM, 80 HD and DVD burner for $746
[08:39] <r0l> hi anyone familiar with git
[08:39] <wols_> r0l: stop the spam
[08:39] <CyberMad> Flannel i know the root password.. because i set it with sudo passwd
[08:40] <robj> thing is a monster
[08:40] <robj> fast
[08:40] <robj> slick
[08:40] <Myrtti> CyberMad: good luck
[08:40] <Flannel> CyberMad: root is an entirely different system than sudo.
[08:40] <wols_> r0l: stop the spam already
[08:40] <r0l> wols_, spam?
[08:40] <kiosk> not to bad
[08:40] <wols_> r0l: sorry. was for robj
[08:40] <Flannel> CyberMad: Why did you want to disable sudo and set the root password to begin with?
[08:40] <gnomefreak> r0l: join #ubuntu-offtopic please if you want to talk about non support topics
[08:41] <r0l> wols_, okay :)
[08:41] <wols_> Flannel: I'd simply wouldn't support such an endeavour. "there be dragon", he is on his own
[08:41] <kiosk> crap thats awesome
[08:41] <gnomefreak> damn
[08:41] <linux_user400354> is it possible to encrypt a file with gpg and have the recipient as yourself, lose your keys, regenerate keys using the same paraphrase, and then decrypt those files?
[08:41] <gnomefreak> robj: join #ubuntu-offtopic please
[08:41] <wols_> linux_user400354: no
[08:41] <bluebanana> is it possible for the whole world (not just the computing world) to run in the way ubunt is running: free?
[08:41] <robj> I will
[08:41] <robj> just thought I would share
[08:41] <Frogzoo> linux_user400354: nope - you lose your private key - game over
[08:42] <Flannel> wols_: Well, the ultimate outcome is that he's probably looking to use sudo anyway.  He just doesn't know it.  This isn't a rtfm room, if you dont want to help, that's fine.  You don't need to be detrimental either.
[08:42] <Frogzoo> linux_user400354: heh - that's the point of encryption :)
[08:42] <wols_> bluebanana: OT. and ubuntu is not "running free". watch less free willy please
[08:42] <Skycloud> Where can I get themes for my windows?
[08:42] <Madpilot> linux_user400354, no - gpg/pgp don't use the passphrase to generate the key

[08:43] <bluebanana> sniff

[08:43] <bluebanana> ok.
[08:43] <r0l> gnomefreak, i meant to ask about git on ubuntu
[08:43] <wols_> r0l: he had the same problem as I did.
[08:43] <wols_> r0l: don't ask to ask or ask "anyone" questions. ask your real question
[08:44] <BamBam_> good morning all
[08:44] <CyberMad> Flannel ok, i did something wrong.. last time i messed up with term sudo and root.. now i understand.. sudo is super user do *something*, and root just an account that have high privileges.. but now, how do i fix my ubuntu?
[08:44] <r0l> wols_, yeah sorry
[08:44] <Flannel> CyberMad: Right.  And not each user needs to be able to use sudo. (Even then, just having sudo access doesn't mean you can do everything, it's confirable on a program by program basis, if you'd like).
[08:45] <Flannel> CyberMad: in a terminal (root terminal, since we need access), usermod -G admin -a [username]   where [uesrname]  is your user.
[08:45] <CyberMad> ok
[08:46] <deadman> hy all
[08:46] <CyberMad> ok, it's works now..
[08:46] <deadman> italian?
[08:46] <wols_> don't message people out of the blue
[08:46] <r0l> when i try "git config", it reports config is not a git command.
[08:46] <JasonAllen> deadman: hi
[08:46] <Dev05> So, does anybody have any ideas on how to fix my Nautilus?
[08:46] <wols_> CyberMad: you also should remove the password you set for root
[08:46] <Flannel> CyberMad: now, close the root terminal, and in a regular terminal, `sudo passwd -l root`
[08:47] <Dev05> I can re-post the question if anyone is interested :)
[08:47] <CyberMad> wols_ Flannel, thanks for your understanding.. i'm new on ubuntu
[08:48] <Flannel> CyberMad: yeah, it happens.  We get that a lot, actually.
[08:48] <wols_> Dev05: how did yo uninstall it? did you purge? also what are your own nautilus /your user's) configs? tried it witha  new account?
[08:49] <Neoagent> Once I edit a file in nano, how do i save it?
[08:49] <Dev05> wols_, Mmm... I was thinking about that. Should I also dpkg --purge nautilus instead of using Synaptic?
[08:49] <Flannel> Neoagent: ctrl-O, and ctrl-X exits
[08:49] <wols_> Neoagent: see "write out"
[08:50] <wols_> Dev05: my guess is your self compiled nautilus set a setting which the ubuntu one still obeys
[08:51] <Dev05> wols_, But the weird thing is that even after re-installing the plugins they still don't work. I'll try purging anyway. I'll come back in around ten minutes and I'll tell you if it worked. Thanks!
[08:51] <Skycloud> How do I install themes?
[08:51] <UbuntuServerUser> is there a way to find out what is mounted via CLI?
[08:51] <Flannel> Dev05: You should check gconf
[08:51] <Flannel> UbuntuServerUser: `mount`
[08:51] <wols_> Dev05: use a new account to test
[08:51] <wols_> UbuntuServerUser: just run "mount"
[08:51] <UbuntuServerUser> thanks lol
[08:51] <Skycloud> nvm
[08:52] <ko12upt> hey guys i need some help what is the url to the main repo server
[08:52] <Flannel> !mirrors | ko12upt
[08:52] <ubotu> ko12upt: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[08:53] <Dev05> Flannel, gconf has no effect.
[08:53] <Flannel> ko12upt: Second link there has all the mirrors (any mirror is just as good as the others, pick one close to you)
[08:53] <ko12upt> k
[08:54] <Flannel> Dev05: it'd be a setting in gconf.  If there's a spatial toggle, or whatnot.  Are you sure your compiled version is gone and not being run?
[08:54] <CyberMad> Flannel ok, how to remove sudo access for User, is this correct? at: System - Administration - Users and Groups ?
[08:54] <Flannel> CyberMad: remove them from the 'admin' group.  But, any user past the first shouldn't be admin by default.
[08:54] <CyberMad> ok :)
[08:55] <Dev05> Flannel, Well, when I uninstalled Nautilus and rebooted the PC, I got a error message telling me that Nautilus wasn't there, so I guess that it was gone.
[08:55] <Flannel> Dev05: did you purge the nautilus that was under package management?
[08:56] <Dev05> Flannel, Nope. That's what wols_ said, so I'll try that now.
[08:56] <ko12upt> flannel those urls are for the software? i dont need the operating system its self just the software for ubuntu im using Dam small linux and it has apt-get and im pretty sure i can use your software on this os
[08:56] <Flannel> Dev05: you'll need to do that, because that'll remove the config files (and then the config files will be reinstalled once you reinstall the package), otherwise you'll be using old config files
[08:57] <Dev05> Flannel, OK. I'm doing that right now. Thank you!
[08:57] <Flannel> ko12upt: yes.  Those are for the repositories.  You want from the top section, "mirror mirrors", as opposed to CD orDVD images.
[08:58] <ko12upt> thank you
[08:58] <Dev05> Flannel, I was just thinking: What does that option in Synaptic that says "Completely Remove" do? Doesn't it purge the packages too?
[08:59] <Madpilot> Dev05, that removes the config files (dotfiles) too
[08:59] <Flannel> Dev05: yeah, complete removal is synaptics purge.
[08:59] <Dev05> Flannel, Madpilot, Because that's what I had done... I'll be right back (rebooting).
[08:59] <zero-9377> i need some help with acpi on my latpop, the fan starts off spinning no matter what the temp, i used some old guides to set the trip_points at boot but the termperature never gets to those points because the fan is on full blast, if i lower the temps then it reaches them but the slower fan speed means it doesnt reach the off state again
[09:00] <zero-9377> what i was considering was a sleep 60 in the script i run to set these paramaters but would that slow the whole boot down, its /etc/acpi/start.d/settrip.sh
[09:02] <CVD> yep the latest checkinstall has a bug
[09:02] <CVD> thats why my .deb have error
[09:02] <enviouz> im trying to install fakenes but im getting error: dependency is not satisfiable: libalut0. any clues? libalut0 is installed
[09:02] <bruenig> just package it yourself, checkinstall is a very simply script
[09:02] <bruenig> simple*
[09:03] <davina> enviouz, tring install libalut0-dev if it exists
[09:03] <Flannel> enviouz: fakenes isn't in the repositories.  So it might be looking for a different version of libalut, or something akin to that.  Which repository are you installing fakenes from?
[09:04] <enviouz> actually i d/l it from a link i found in the ubuntu forum. http://www.fbriere.net/debian/nes-emu/sid/
[09:04] <DST51598> I would like to ask anybody about translation.
[09:04] <Flannel> enviouz: Ah.  That's for debian sid.  So that makes sense.
[09:05] <enviouz> ahh ok ic. maybe ill try once more to compile it myself.
[09:06] <DST51598> Where I could find the way translation is handled in Ubuntu
[09:06] <ko12upt> where is the server.list located at in ubuntu
[09:06] <Flannel> ko12upt: /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:06] <ko12upt> :)
[09:06] <ko12upt> thank you again
[09:07] <oasisfai> quit
[09:07] <CVD> why my update manager say "partial upgrade"?
[09:07] <davina> ko12upt, in a console type: find / -name "server.list" -print     and when it finds it it will tell you where it is.

[09:13] <SFX-Bladerunner> if I burn ubuntu to a disc, do I have to make it bootable in the burner, or does the iso contain a boot section on itself?
[09:13] <CVD> the update want to install it again
[09:13] <CVD> i dont wan it
[09:13] <NickGarve1> SFX-Bladerunner: it will just be recognized as bootable
[09:13] <NickGarve1> SFX-Bladerunner: JUST MAKE SURE
[09:13] <NickGarve1> SFX-Bladerunner: that you burn it as an iso, not as a file
[09:13] <SFX-Bladerunner> make sure?
[09:14] <SFX-Bladerunner> lol yeh
[09:14] <themoebius> how can i force a reload of a page in firefox without clearing my cache?

[09:16] <lukeperry> does anyone know anything about linux audio?
[09:16] <CVD> i already create the pidgin .deb but after installed work great, but its not the menu
[09:16] <lukeperry> i need to get the spdif working on my soundcard
[09:16] <lukeperry> just wondering whats involved
[09:16] <lukeperry> normal audio works fine
[09:17] <yoshi> hi anyone here?
[09:18] <NickGarve1> yup
[09:18] <Jordan_U> CVD, Why not use the .deb from getdeb.org?
[09:18] <yoshi> i am havig a problem with the closed nvidia drivers. when i install them ubuntu boots to black. if i dont use them i dont get any hardware acceleration
[09:19] <Dev05> wols_, Flannel, OK, half of it works, that is, there's no more spatial mode. Now, it closes down and another window appears with the folder I selected. The plugins work, but it's still messed up...
[09:19] <cirkit> will emerge be ported to Ubuntu soon?
[09:19] <CVD> so i have to wait for someone to get the prog i want?
[09:19] <cirkit> I don't like apt-get much
[09:19] <CVD> i wanna make it my self
[09:19] <Jordan_U> cirkit, I really doubt it
[09:19] <yoshi> i have tried using envy
[09:19] <yoshi> and it failed
[09:19] <bruenig> CVD, if you want to make it yourself, know what you are doing
[09:19] <bruenig> CVD, menu files are placed in /usr/share/applications
[09:19] <cirkit> bruenig, you use ubuntu too?
[09:19] <cirkit> lol
[09:19] <Jordan_U> yoshi, Did you try restricted manager?
[09:19] <bruenig> I have used nearly everything
[09:19] <Madpilot> cirkit, um, Ubuntu is Debian-based... apt-get is kind of central.
[09:20] <lazz0> bruenig, and whats ur favourite
[09:20] <bruenig> arch
[09:20] <CVD> the only thing i dont know its, to create a shortcut in the menu  automatically
[09:20] <CVD> after instaling the packages
[09:20] <bruenig> CVD, add a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications
[09:20] <magnetron> !enter
[09:20] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:20] <yoshi> you mean the manual thing in the ubuntu system menu? yeah
[09:20] <yoshi> thats what i tried the first time
[09:20] <bruenig> CVD, go in there, open up firefox.desktop or something, something that is already in the network category and just edit the fields
[09:21] <bruenig> change Firefox to Pidgin for instance
[09:22] <animesh> which will be better for data transferring using  ftp ftpd or vsftpd
[09:22] <animesh> please suggest
[09:22] <bruenig> those are all different implementations of the same protocol, one a client and two different servers
[09:23] <ohzir> I know this isn't the vmware channel, but if anyone has any guesses that would be great.
[09:23] <ohzir> http://pastebin.com/938122
[09:23] <ohzir> :)
[09:23] <CVD> i know to add a shrotcut, i know the packages add the shortcut automatically after install the warever packages
[09:23] <bruenig> CVD, they add .desktop files to /usr/share/applications
[09:23] <yoshi> noone have a solution or any ideas?
[09:23] <bruenig> CVD, pidgin probably drops one in /usr/local/share/applications unless you compiled it with --prefix=/usr
[09:24] <Ohzie> yoshi: what video card.
[09:24] <Ohzie> ?
[09:25] <yoshi> a geforce 8800 gts
[09:25] <CVD> again, how to make the packages add the shortcut automatically
[09:26] <animesh> i want to mean for server ftpd or vsftpd
[09:27] <bruenig> CVD, I just told you, create a .desktop file
[09:27] <Flannel> animesh: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/server/C/ftp-server.html
[09:27] <aikidoc> Hello, how do I make my s video out working on travelmate 2480?
[09:27] <SFX-Bladerunner> do I have to finalize the disc?
[09:27] <SFX-Bladerunner> when I write it?
[09:27] <bruenig> CVD, although I would imagine that pidgin already has one
[09:27] <bruenig> most gui apps do
[09:27] <Madpilot> SFX-Bladerunner, probably. Which app is this that makes burning a basic ISO so complicated?
[09:28] <aikidoc> anybody who knows how to make the s-video out in laptop work?
[09:28] <CVD> pidgin not have one in the category internet

[09:28] <aikidoc> how do you make the "s-video out" work in laptop?
[09:29] <Flannel> animesh: That page tells you how to configure too.
[09:29] <bruenig> babo, does ifconfig give any information on it, ip address or anything?

[09:30] <babo> bruenig: The interface seems to be there in /proc/net/dev but it loses 100% of it's packets. In 'ifconfig /all' I get "error fetching interface information, device not found"

[09:30] <Zenji> Hi
[09:30] <angel12> hey guys, on my wifi i use wep, but everytime i reboot/ login i have to type in a password to unlock the keyring, is there a way to do this automagically?
[09:30] <bruenig> babo, just ifconfig with no arguments, what does it give you
[09:30] <babo> bruenig: but ifconfig seems to work OK.
[09:31] <Flannel> angel12: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager#head-41669d33dd37ace3464ac217a60ffac444fff514
[09:31] <babo> bruenig, ah sorry, maybe i was thinking of windows ipconfig /all
[09:31] <yoshi> has anyone else ever had this problem?
[09:32] <Zenji> I have a question. How do I play .mpg files. I have Totem, extracodecs, and a bunch of other things installed and it wont work.
[09:32] <bruenig> babo, what I generally would do is just sort of a check and do "sudo ifconfig $interface down" "sudo ifconfig $interface up" "sudo dhclient $interface"
[09:32] <ko12upt> how would i upgrade my kernel from apt-get i have 2.4.26 as my kernel now i would like the latest
[09:32] <bruenig> replace $interface
[09:32] <ville_> angel12: One possibility is to put the passworkd to /etc/network/interfaces, I had to do that to get my wlan to work at all.
[09:32] <bruenig> assuming you are on dhcp also
[09:32] <Zenji> I have a question. How do I play .mpg files. I have Totem, extracodecs, and a bunch of other things installed and it wont work.
[09:32] <bruenig> Zenji, mpgs should play without codecs
[09:32] <ville_> angel12: nevermind you were given a link of some sort already
[09:32] <Zenji> Its not tho.
[09:32] <Flannel> ko12upt: 2.4.26?  Are you sure?   What OS are you running?
[09:32] <bruenig> Zenji, how many mpgs have you tried?
[09:32] <ko12upt> dsl
[09:33] <ko12upt> dam small linux
[09:33] <Zenji> A few so far.
[09:33] <Flannel> ko12upt: Ah.  Well, You'd have to ask DSL people.  This is #ubuntu
[09:33] <Zenji> 4 about..
[09:33] <bruenig> Zenji, what happens when you try
[09:33] <babo> bruenig: which config files should I be looking at for this ? Which config files control the ethernet interface ? what's eth1:avahi ?
[09:33] <ko12upt> flannel apt-get insall kernel-2.6? how would you do it in ubuntu
[09:34] <bruenig> babo, I don't really get avahi stuff and don't use it. Just type all of that stuff at the terminal and see if you can get a connection
[09:34] <Flannel> ko12upt: In Ubuntu, you already have 2.6, `linux-generic` is the metapackage
[09:34] <bruenig> babo, eth1 is probably our interface though
[09:34] <ko12upt> dsl peeps are posers they just sit in the channel and never anser
[09:34] <grindz> Do you know why after kernel upgrading , Ubuntu remix sd# devices and mounting started to be onvalid?
[09:34] <babo> bruenig: k thanks ...
[09:34] <Zenji> Says "Streaming" and nothing happens... and the other one it gives some error for codecs and such.......
[09:35] <ko12upt> aww
[09:35] <bruenig> Zenji, where are you getting these mpgs?
[09:35] <Zenji> Torrentspy
[09:35] <Flannel> ko12upt: why are you on DSL trying to upgrade to Ubuntu anyway?  Why not just install Ubuntu?
[09:35] <bruenig> Zenji, hmmm, been a long time since I used that but certain parts of that site are iffy in terms of quality, mostly spyware and crap
[09:35] <CVD>  i compiled the pidgin source and installed, all work great, but pidgin dont add a shortcut to the category internet, so how make a packages to add a shortcut in the proper category?
[09:36] <angel12> Flannel, thanks bro
[09:36] <Flannel> CVD: You'd have to have that file (the shortcut file) be a part of the package
[09:36] <Zenji> Well meh
[09:37] <bruenig> CVD, are you packaging it? like with make install DESTDIR and all that goodness
[09:37] <kjw> I am trying to install ubuntu feisty, the livecd starts to load, but then says "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off" it then gives me a prompt that says: initramfs, this is being installed on a new asus laptop. What might the problem be?
[09:37] <ko12upt> flannel im not trying to upgrade to ubuntu im trying to install .deb package but it requires a more modern kernel :( dsl is a deb based system
[09:37] <babo> what are the wireless networking commands that I should use with linux ?   You might be better off getting the deb source and trying to compile it.
[09:38] <bruenig> CVD, but anyways, drop it in the DESTDIR in /usr/share/applications
[09:38] <ko12upt> aww yea that might actually work
[09:38] <CVD> auto-apt run /.configure, make, checkinstall
[09:38] <bruenig> checkinstall is not packaging really
[09:38] <CVD> not shurtcut in the category internet

[09:42] <twisties> i had the same thing a while ago with generic kernel conflict or something but cant remember how i fixed it

[09:42] <fisons> twisties, same here ...
[09:43] <twisties> fisons: got the same problem? or also had to fix it? anyone know how to overcome it?
[09:43] <bruenig> because ubuntu is a discrete release distro, I would honestly just lock down the kernel and nvidia drivers once you get them installed
[09:43] <fisons> twisties, dmesg says: "nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel."
[09:43] <twisties> ?
[09:43] <fisons> twisties, i did the following (bit annoying, but it works)
[09:44] <lukeperry> guys
[09:44] <fisons> created a small script called "gdm.sh", containing:
[09:44] <lukeperry> what sort of specs are you looking at to run xgl?
[09:44] <magnetron> !enter | fisons
[09:44] <ubotu> fisons: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:44] <fisons> #!/bin/sh
[09:44] <fisons> sudo rmmod nvidia &&
[09:44] <fisons> sudo modprobe nvidia &&
[09:44] <fisons> sudo killall gdm &&
[09:44] <fisons> sudo gdm
[09:44] <anathematic> decent text editor for ubuntu? (i'm use to textmate on mac with coloured syntax / ability to have multiple folders in tabs)
[09:45] <bruenig> why would you put sudo in a script?
[09:45] <SFX-Bladerunner> man I hate my old hd
[09:45] <bruenig> just call the thing with sudo
[09:45] <SFX-Bladerunner> its broken as hell
[09:45] <SFX-Bladerunner> damn bad sectors
[09:45] <magnetron> anathematic: gedit has syntax highlightning
[09:45] <SFX-Bladerunner> the ubuntu image file was on a bad sector.. so it wouldnt write lol
[09:45] <fisons> twisties, you have to remove the nvidia-module via rmmod, reinsert it and restart gdm...
[09:45] <lukeperry> ive got an xp2200, 768mb ram, geforce 4 ti 4400. is it possible to run xgl transparently? or will it have a noticeable bloating effect?
[09:45] <bruenig> anathematic, vim is good
[09:45] <xbadger> anathematic: kate is the best but comes with kde
[09:45] <Flannel> anathematic: most editors in Linux have syntax highlighting, it's pretty standard.
[09:45] <fisons> twisties, its not a nice solution, but it works
[09:45] <bruenig> lukeperry, it will do alright
[09:46] <bruenig> lukeperry, go to #ubuntu-effects
[09:46] <magnetron> anathematic: gedit has tab support too
[09:46] <bruenig> kate is the best?
[09:46] <twisties> is it a permanent solution?
[09:46] <lukeperry> ta
[09:46] <fisons> twisties, dont hope so...
[09:46] <nuked_omen> how can i turn off automount for external media?
[09:46] <xbadger> :)
[09:46] <bruenig> nuked_omen, edit them out of the /etc/fstab
[09:46] <fisons> i'm also looking for a better solution
[09:46] <twisties> fisons: Is that a yes or no?
[09:46] <bruenig> nuked_omen, or do you mean when you plug them in
[09:46] <anathematic> haha lots of choices
[09:46] <twisties> I remember installing a different kernel or something
[09:47] <fisons> twisties, for now its a yes
[09:47] <twisties> i honestly dont remember
[09:47] <bruenig> how is kate the best?
[09:47] <nuked_omen> bruenig: sometimes i plug them in, sometimes i turn on the computer when they are connected
[09:47] <Flannel> bruenig: it's not, don't worry
[09:47] <twisties> fisons: ok is it going to screw anything else up? is it reversible? I only ask because this friend with the problem is a first time linux user
[09:47] <nuked_omen> but i don't want anything to mount until i say so
[09:47] <xbadger> guys i have a problem with the screen, is off center on my monitor
[09:47] <slacker> hi
[09:48] <fisons> twisties, nope, everything else is fine
[09:48] <slacker> where does ubuntu define it's default $PATH?
[09:48] <twisties> xbadger: That's what the buttons on the monitor are for
[09:48] <bruenig> nuked_omen, disable hal, what is the command, rc.update or something like that
[09:48] <bruenig> slacker, should do it in /etc/profile
[09:48] <fisons> i use this method since weeks now in a dual-tft-setup without any problems
[09:48] <Flannel> slacker: why?  you want to add to it?  To that as a user thing.  in your bash configs
[09:48] <xbadger> yes twisties, you're funny but i dual booting with windows
[09:48] <slacker> bruenig: I read that on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneTruePath but my /etc/profile doesn't have it
[09:48] <fisons> only thing that sucks is calling ./gdm.sh each time after gdm crashed because the missing nvidia-module
[09:49] <slacker> Flannel: I want to add to every user profile
[09:49] <xbadger> and everytime I reboot I must adjust my screen
[09:49] <Flannel> slacker: so... put a bashrc file in the skeleton dir?
[09:49] <bruenig> slacker, read the /etc/profile, it probably sources other things, see those sourced things until you find where it is coming from, but it is at the very least sourced in /etc/profile
[09:49] <xbadger> in dapper I have no problem
[09:49] <xbadger> just in festy
[09:49] <xbadger> I guess is because the new xorg package
[09:50] <slacker> Flannel: I want to add it to existing ones without having to make them update their .bashrc
[09:50] <Flannel> slacker: fair enough.
[09:50] <SFX-Bladerunner> !burn
[09:50] <bruenig> slacker, do grep -R PATH /etc/*
[09:50] <twisties> xbadger: Im using windows on a dual boot with Edgy and i've got no problems
[09:50] <slacker> bruenig: it sources /etc/bash.bashrc

[09:50] <slacker> bruenig: I did grep for PATH and it came up with bash_completion, which I don't use
[09:50] <bruenig> slacker, do my recursive grep command
[09:51] <slacker> so I thought, before I add a completely new PATH = line to bash.basrh I ask you guys :)
[09:51] <bruenig> slacker, it has to be somewhere, does that recursive grep give you anything?
[09:52] <slacker> bruenig: I'm just reading the result. it's got a lot of /etc/alternatives/ which I can probably ignore, right?
[09:52] <xbadger> thanks anyway twisties
[09:52] <xbadger> I didn't find a solution on forums
[09:53] <bruenig> slacker, I think so, grep -Rl PATH /etc/* might give you cleaner output
[09:53] <twisties> lol, little annoyances like that are the reason I still use windows aswell
[09:53] <twisties> that and my windows gaming
[09:53] <SFX-Bladerunner> windows gaming ftw =0
[09:53] <slacker> how about /etc/environment
[09:53] <fisons> xbadger, do you use any special resolutions in xorg? are there any modelines in your yourg.conf?
[09:53] <twisties> I did try Postal 2 on ubuntu yesterday
[09:53] <slacker> no, that's not it
[09:53] <SFX-Bladerunner> though I can play my fav game, EVE Online, on linux =)
[09:53] <bruenig> /etc/environment doesn't
[09:53] <twisties> looked absolutely fantastic
[09:54] <twisties> but my sound didnt work
[09:54] <slacker> I'm missing /usr/local/bin  for some reason
[09:54] <SFX-Bladerunner> or atleast, I think I can lol
[09:54] <bruenig> slacker, is there an /etc/profile.d directory?
[09:54] <FallenA> dang
[09:54] <slacker> bruenig: no
[09:54] <bruenig> hmmm
[09:54] <FallenA> the gaming channel is invite only?
[09:54] <FallenA> can someone invite me there?
[09:55] <bruenig> maybe it is /etc/alternatives then, there has to be something like that
[09:55] <bruenig> so that apps can modify different environment variables
[09:55] <bruenig> when installed
[09:55] <CVD> how i add a short to the main menu with a script?
[09:55] <SFX-Bladerunner> btw, whats the differences between ubuntu kubuntu and edubuntu?
[09:55] <slacker> there's no /etc/alternatives/bash*
[09:55] <bruenig> CVD, have a script write a .desktop and put it in /usr/share/applications
[09:56] <codename> hey
[09:56] <bruenig> SFX-Bladerunner, ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is kde, edubuntu is gnome too but with a bunch of educational games and such

[09:56] <bruenig> SFX-Bladerunner, look on wikipedia
[09:56] <SFX-Bladerunner> lol k
[09:56] <bruenig> they give really in depth is the only reason
[09:56] <codename> I just bought a new laptop and im having some wireless issues
[09:57] <bruenig> codename, card?
[09:57] <slacker> ah crap. I just put it in /etc/bash.bashrc wth
[09:57] <codename> 802.11 b/g
[09:57] <xbadger> thanks for asking fisons, I don't use any special resolution, is the 1024x768@85 Hz wich works fine on my monitor.you see the problem is somehow from xorg because in old dapper version everything wwas fine with same settings. I add the correct modeline using xvidtune but anytime i reboot the settings are lost. somehow the sequence modeline is bypassed in xorg.conf
[09:57] <bruenig> codename, what is the card
[09:57] <codename> 802.11 b/g
[09:57] <codename> Thats the CARD
[09:57] <bruenig> that is not the card
[09:57] <codename> and I have Linksys router
[09:58] <Kagar> I just need a second approval on if this is the correct configuration for my fstab

[09:58] <Kagar> on line 14
[09:58] <codename> how do i find out the card
[09:58] <fisons> xbadger, did you try disabling the modeline?
[09:58] <CVD> pidgin its already there
[09:58] <bruenig> codename, if you just bought the laptop, seems like that would be something you know
[09:58] <xbadger> yes with no luck

[09:58] <slacker> bruenig: alright, that did it. thanks for your effort :

[09:59] <slacker> bruenig: but /usr/local/bin *should* be in the default path shouldn't it ?
[09:59] <slacker> for feisty
[09:59] <bruenig> slacker, yes
[09:59] <slacker> good
[09:59] <slacker> have a good one. cya
[10:00] <kjw> exit
[10:00] <xbadger> fisons, i found a lot of those problems on ubuntuforums.org but no  one has a good answer for the problem. everyone advice to use modeline but when I reboot the settings are lost. the equence is bypassed in xorg.conf. i don't know why
[10:00] <fisons> xbadger, sorry, got no idea - maybe you can find something strange in /var/log/xorg.0.log?
[10:00] <xbadger> k thx i tried
[10:01] <xbadger> maybe with the next xorg release that thing will be solved
[10:01] <xbadger> maybe is some kind of stupid bug
[10:01] <fisons> xbadger, did you bugreport it?
[10:01] <codename> it doesnt tell me
[10:01] <vash> I have a question about setting up RAID in ubuntu.  Is this the place to ask, or is there another channel that would be better?
[10:02] <bruenig> codename, if it had detected it, it would likely have been configured, check your documentation that came with your laptop or whatever else you have to figure out what your card is
[10:02] <fisons> xbadger, if you bugreport it, chances it'll be solved raise
[10:02] <xbadger> fisons, no but i'll check the bug report list and if it's not listed there i'll post
[10:02] <xbadger> thx man hope will be resolve
[10:02] <fisons> xbadger, yes ;) good luck
[10:03] <xbadger> untill then i stick to 1024x768@75
[10:03] <fisons> xbadger, could it be your modeline is somehow invalid?
[10:04] <xbadger> i don't think so because it is generated with xvidtune
[10:04] <xbadger> show option
[10:04] <xbadger> i heard that the new xorg does not support the modeline thing
[10:04] <fisons> xbadger, ok, understand
[10:05] <xbadger> ill google a little maybe i'll find something
[10:05] <xbadger> does anyone knows if 7.10 will be shiped with kde4
[10:05] <xbadger> ?
[10:06] <vash> has anyone here ever used RAID with an nForce motherboard?
[10:06] <xbadger> i mean the kubuntu flavour
[10:06] <codename> scsi_host
[10:06] <codename> any commands
[10:07] <codename> any terminal commands i can type in to find out?
[10:07] <mahtavamatt88> xbadger you'd be better off asking in a "kubuntu" channel, i have no idea
[10:07] <bruenig> codename, it would've had to have been detected
[10:07] <codename> it did detect my connection
[10:07] <bruenig> codename, your card I mean
[10:08] <bruenig> codename, what is the name of the interface? wlan0?
[10:08] <codename> ya
[10:08] <bruenig> ok do iwlisth wlan0 scan
[10:08] <bruenig> iwlist*
[10:09] <bruenig> does it show any networks?
[10:09] <codename> yea
[10:09] <codename> mine
[10:09] <bruenig> is yours encrypted?
[10:09] <codename> yep
[10:12] <bruenig> codename, ok do this, sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid $YOURESSID key $YOURKEY

[10:16] <cafuego> Ind[y] : Fix: force mime type text/plain on the dav dir.
[10:16] <Ind[y] > andruk: In Ubuntu, in general you won't have to compile things.
[10:16] <Ind[y] > cafuego: No, I mean I can't move .php files at all.
[10:17] <cafuego> Ind[y] : Yeh
[10:17] <bruenig> codename, has the command finished?
[10:17] <codename> yep
[10:17] <babo> bruenig: that won't work ... I just get  No DHCPOFFERS received, No working leases in persistent db's ...
[10:17] <andruk> Ind[y] , but the last time i checked the ubuntu docs, it told me i had to compile lirc modules into the kernel
[10:17] <codename> says something like no dhcp recieved
[10:17] <bruenig> codename, are you connected
[10:17] <cafuego> Ind[y] : apache will be parsing them though mod_php them, which is not what you want
[10:17] <bruenig> babo, what
[10:17] <codename> no
[10:17] <Ind[y] > cafuego: I don't think apache has to do something. I can't copy, or rename to, .php
[10:18] <bruenig> codename, can you get the the router configuration thing, the 192.blah
[10:18] <codename> ya
[10:18] <babo> bruenig: the original error message seems to be the most pertinent though ... \nCould not find information on interface eth1:avahi in /proc/net/dev
[10:18] <cafuego> Ind[y] : remotely right, not locally
[10:18] <babo> bruenig: my interface problem ...
[10:18] <bruenig> babo, don't know, I don't remember that
[10:18] <j^> does someone know how i can change the umask for automounted external harddisks
[10:18] <bruenig> I don't use avahi like I said though
[10:18] <jmgarcia> jmgarcia
[10:19] <codename> now im in my linksys
[10:19] <jmgarcia> fdbvj
[10:19] <codename> thinf
[10:19] <babo> bruenig: when i look in /proc/net/dev there isn't any eth1:avahi ... there is only eth1 ( and it drops 100% of the packets )
[10:19] <j^> i use it on 2 computers and do not have the same user id, so permissions are constantly off
[10:19] <Jordan_U> califalcon, alsamixer
[10:19] <jmgarcia> paula
[10:19] <bruenig> codename, so you can do that from your wireless card?
[10:19] <codename> no
[10:19] <codename> i had to plug a connection in
[10:19] <babo> bruenig: I don't see why I'm using it either ...
[10:19] <Ind[y] > cafuego: what does local apache have to do with my WebDAV/Nautilus file transfers?
[10:19] <califalcon> Jordan_U where in alsamixer
[10:19] <bruenig> codename, alright so you are not even connected to your router then
[10:19] <jmgarcia> Paula.
[10:19] <codename> iam
[10:20] <bruenig> codename, the wireless card isn't
[10:20] <codename> Connected through a wire
[10:20] <Jordan_U> califalcon, Just make sure that the other channels aren't muted
[10:20] <bruenig> codename, it means the iwconfig command didn't work
[10:20] <codename> I have 2 computers
[10:20] <Icarus> hi
[10:20] <cafuego> Ind[y] : Nothing, I was asking if you were renaming the file remotely or locally
[10:20] <bruenig> right I don't care
[10:20] <cafuego> Ind[y] : ... using a dav connection.
[10:20] <bruenig> codename, make sure your iwconfig command was good
[10:20] <califalcon> Jordan_U there aren't the only muted channels are MIC's
[10:21] <Jordan_U> califalcon, No idea then
[10:21] <Ind[y] > cafuego: I can't rename the file in the Nautilus/WebDAV directory.
[10:21] <califalcon> Jordan_U another think to note that is that my headphone jack and shared with spdiff and that works however I get no sound from the internal 2.1 speaker from the laptop
[10:21] <cafuego> Ind[y] : And the permissions are ok? Can you rename a .txt to .dat?
[10:21] <Ind[y] > cafuego: Neither I can copy .php files from my filesystem to the WebDAV/Nautilus directory.
[10:22] <Ind[y] > cafuego: yes
[10:22] <cafuego> Ind[y] : Well, then your problem is that the moment a dav operation includes *.php, mod_php tries to run it, making the operation fail.
[10:22] <califalcon> where is the best place to submit a bug report for alsa in ubuntu?
[10:22] <codename> No DHCPOFFERS recieved
[10:22] <codename> thats the error
[10:23] <bruenig> codename, no the error is with the iwconfig
[10:23] <Ind[y] > cafuego: Actually, the remote server is running win32 I think. It is not mine.
[10:23] <bruenig> codename, you would be able to get to your router configuration thing if iwconfig worked
[10:23] <cafuego> Ind[y] : I've been there, had that problem. The fix is to alias /dav to the site root and override the mime type for .php from application/x-httpd-php to text/plain.
[10:23] <babo> bruenig: you had suggested that I try sudo ifconfig eth1 down && sudo ifconfig eth1 up && dhclient eth1 ... but I got the No DHCPOFFERS received ...
[10:23] <codename> l
[10:23] <codename> k
[10:23] <codename> so what did i do wrong?
[10:24] <Ind[y] > cafuego: from the remote server configuration?
[10:24] <cafuego> Ind[y] : yah
[10:24] <bruenig> codename, make sure you did it right, iwconfig wlan0 essid $YOURESSID key $YOURKEY (make sure the key is hex if you didn't)
[10:24] <cafuego> Ind[y] : alternatively, copy the file to local, rename it, re-uplaod it.
[10:24] <Ind[y] > What do you mean "alias /dav to the site root'?
[10:24] <Vieryn> can somebody help me... kubuntu installation stops on probing trm290
[10:24] <cafuego> Ind[y] : Though I wasn;'t even able to do that on the box I had the problem with.
[10:25] <SFX-Bladerunner> "writing image file failed, error writing to disk" wtf?
[10:25] <SFX-Bladerunner> it was almost done
[10:25] <Ind[y] > cafuego: But I can't copy .php files from my filesystem into the WebDAV/Nautilus directory.
[10:25] <califalcon> did u try again?
[10:25] <codename> Error for wireless request "Set ESSID"
[10:25] <Ind[y] > I can't "reupload" them as .php files.
[10:25] <codename> Set failed on device wlan0
[10:26] <babo> are there any networking experts out there that can give me a hand with my problem ?  Could not find information on interface eth1:avahi in /proc/net/dev
[10:26] <califalcon> Guys anyone know how to disable the SPDIF output from a sound card?
[10:27] <bruenig> codename, paste your command
[10:27] <andruk> do i have to rebuild lirc modules for every kernel update?
[10:27] <codename> the 1 i typed in
[10:28] <codename> or the output
[10:28] <bruenig> the one you typed
[10:28] <Vieryn> yah... :(
[10:28] <andruk> do i have to rebuild lirc modules for every kernel update?
[10:28] <codename> sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid World-Sweeping key  *THE KEY*
[10:29] <mat1980> babo: try explaing again your problem
[10:29] <vermoos> yo
[10:30] <califalcon> Guys anyone know how to disable the SPDIF output from a sound card?
[10:31] <codename> my driver is rt73usb
[10:31] <animesh> i have installed vsftpd and changed vsftd.conf but i want to connect a remote machine it giving the error  ftp: connect: No route to host
[10:31] <animesh> can u suggest please what will be the sollution?
[10:31] <arooni> is there a way i can get some visual or audio indication that my terminal is prompting me for a passwored?
[10:32] <TaJMoX> How do I stop ubuntu from mounting my USB disks automatically
[10:32] <codename> ?
[10:33] <J-_> Is there a Network applet similar to nm-applet for xfce?
[10:33] <Bo^Dick> i installed ubuntu 6.06 on a machine
[10:34] <Bo^Dick> the installation was dead simple
[10:34] <Tof2> hi everyone, I have trouble starting the "desktop effects" (compiz i believe) under Festy. The X server freezes, not the whole system. My Video Card is a NVidia GeForce2 Ti, I use the proprietary drivers. However Beryl works well.
[10:34] <babo> mat1890: I was trying to get my linux to work in a wireless environment down at my local mall. It worked fine with our wireless at home. All I did was switch the GNOME widget between eth1 and eth0. Now it won't work at all. When I click on the little networking widget I get something like ... Can't find eth1:avahi in /proc/net/dev. I've looked in /proc/net/dev and I can find lo,eth0,eth1. eth1 has 100% packet loss. I've brought eth1 up and down again, a
[10:34] <babo> nd ran dhclient but it tells me there are No DHCPOFFERS received. I've looked at /etc/networks/interfaces and eth1 is listed as auto with the wireless key and ssid ...
[10:34] <JohnC-> omg!!! 1042 users on the channel!!
[10:34] <Assassin`> hello I'm having a problem with my game and i wanna pin point the problem any suggestions
[10:34] <Assassin`> JohnC-: its been like that :)
[10:35] <Bo^Dick> how do i start the graphical interface in ubuntu 6.06?
[10:36] <Myrtti> Bo^Dick: do you have any installed?
[10:36] <linux_probe>   like OMFG
[10:36] <linux_probe> this ubuntu channel is always this full
[10:36] <Bo^Dick> the installer didn't ask me
[10:36] <Myrtti> Bo^Dick: you installed the server version?
[10:36] <Bo^Dick> maybe a gui isn't supplied with the ubuntu 6.06 cd?
[10:36] <Assassin`> well i have been experiencing "freezing" while playing aa2k7
[10:37] <Bo^Dick> Myrtti: nope
[10:37] <linux_probe> you can try typing "  startx  "
[10:37] <Myrtti> Bo^Dick: then it should start after installation automatically
[10:37] <babo> mat1890: does that make sense ?
[10:37] <Bo^Dick> linux_probe: startx didn't work
[10:37] <Myrtti> Bo^Dick: if not, then you've got xorg misconfigured
[10:37] <linux_probe> did it give any errors ??
[10:38] <Bo^Dick> linux_probe: the startx command wasn't recognized
[10:38] <Bo^Dick> oops, wait a minute
[10:38] <Myrtti> Bo^Dick: do in terminal "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[10:38] <Bo^Dick> this is the actual file name of the iso: ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso
[10:39] <linux_probe> whoops
[10:39] <linux_probe> server = no GUI
[10:39] <Myrtti> ok, so perhaps you didn't install a graphical interface
[10:39] <linux_probe>  :-P there's your problem
[10:39] <Bo^Dick> noone warned me in the #linux channel
[10:39] <Myrtti> Bo^Dick: which one do you want, KDE, Gnome or XFCE?
[10:39] <Bo^Dick> i should've gotten here from the start
[10:39] <Bo^Dick> i want a window manager that takes least performance of the machine
[10:40] <Myrtti> Bo^Dick: I'd say "sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop" then
[10:40] <Bo^Dick> is that all to it?
[10:40] <Myrtti> Bo^Dick: basically yes.
[10:40] <Bo^Dick> i've got internet access i think
[10:41] <Myrtti> Bo^Dick: yes, if you're speaking here on the Internet Relay Chat ;-)
[10:41] <twisties> which environment does xubuntu use?
[10:41] <Assassin`> any info on gutsy?
[10:42] <Assassin`> whats new in it
[10:42] <Myrtti> twisties: xfce
[10:42] <twisties> Myrtti: Is it any good?
[10:42] <Myrtti> twisties: quite, yes.
[10:42] <Bo^Dick> i'm anxious to try immediately
[10:42] <twisties> hmm. is it available through the default repo's?
[10:42] <Myrtti> yes
[10:42] <twisties> might aswell give it a shot
[10:43] <twisties> i've got Fluxbox too, a great fallback when gnome stuffs up
[10:43] <babo> so basically I've switched a little dropdown menu on my GNOME desktop, and by doing so I've completely totalled my ubuntu system. Noone on here can help me and noone replies to my forum post ? That's great.
[10:43] <califalcon> guys what is the channel for alsa support?
[10:43] <babo> so I guess ubuntu isn't ready for the big time afterall ...
[10:44] <califalcon> i am getting to same conclusion babo
[10:44] <twisties> Ubuntu's support for my soundcard is sort of lacking
[10:44] <twisties> which is annoying
[10:44] <linux_probe> first of all it's  anywhere from 1am to 4am in USA
[10:44] <babo> califalcon, what's your alsa question ?
[10:45] <Myrtti> babo: for wifi the best shot is networkmanager
[10:45] <linux_probe> many people are in bed for work in the AM
[10:45] <califalcon> i need to know how to redirect the output of my soundcard to a different channel e.g analog vs digital spdif vs speakers
[10:45] <Myrtti> babo: you've tried it yet?
[10:45] <babo> Myrtti: networkmanager ?
[10:46] <Myrtti> babo: NetworkManager or network-manager
[10:46] <twisties> Myrtti: What package do I install for xfce?
[10:46] <califalcon> funny thing is that my soundcard worked fine under Mandriva, but not under ubuntu
[10:46] <babo> Myrtti: it's installed by default right ?
[10:46] <walfri> hallo
[10:46] <Myrtti> twisties: xubuntu-desktop? it does install a lot of dependencies though that you might not need
[10:46] <Myrtti> babo: if I remember correctly
[10:47] <walfri> yes
[10:47] <twisties> it's not going to take over gnome is it?
[10:47] <babo> Myrtti: I might have been using it already. In fact, I think it may have been the source of the problem :-(
[10:47] <twisties> I jsut want another option from the logon screen
[10:47] <walfri> what kind
[10:47] <Myrtti> babo: but you need the applet to get it working 100% and disable /etc/network/interfaces all devices except local loppback
[10:48] <babo> Myrtti: disable /etc/network/interfaces ? I'm not sure I like the sound of that ...
[10:48] <Myrtti> babo: that enables roaming
[10:48] <Myrtti> babo: not to disable the whole file
[10:48] <Myrtti> babo: just the lines that try to configure other devices than loopback
[10:48] <babo> Myrtti: yeah, now I remember. enabling roaming was where my problems began ... :-(
[10:49] <babo> Myrtti: what happens when you enable roaming ? it takes all the other interfaces off-line ?
[10:50] <Myrtti> babo: well yes and no
[10:50] <Myrtti> babo: you need to have all the bits and pieces working as well
[10:50] <ivoks> so, if anyone from croatia is here, i'm glad to announce that HGspot starts selling computers with Ubuntu installed
[10:52] <weerdo> what program i can use for master an iso???
[10:52] <twisties> ok. xfce is going to take some getting used to
[10:52] <twisties> it doesn't seem to like beryl running at the same time
[10:54] <kev1n> can someone point me to a good guide to getting sound capture working in alsa in feisty?
[10:57] <califalcon> Does anyone know how to disable SPDIF sound output?
[10:57] <Kyle123> Anyone ever have a problem installing Ubuntu 7.04 ? like it stopping at 75% when ever it is configuring WVDIAL, it has stopped on me 5 times now, and ive checked the cd twice, any ideas on what i can do ?
[10:58] <urmama> hi!  i want to know how to set right my xorg.conf . it got corrupted due to the fact that i chose the wrong option in the video driver list
[10:58] <sustand> Thats strange, Kyle123
[10:59] <Kyle123> i have to use the Alt install cd the regular gui one hits me with an error cuz of my graphical interface :( and ive tried to do the reconfigure and select my correct driver but it drops me at the command prompt and i dont knwo the command to restart the GUI installer
[11:00] <gordonjcp> Kyle123: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[11:00] <califalcon> Ok I take nobody know the awnser to my question, it would be nice if you guys just said so
[11:00] <gordonjcp> califalcon: if people said they didn't know then you'd have 200-odd "I don't know" messages flooding the channel
[11:01] <Kyle123> gordonjcp: that will restart the gui installer after i do the reconfig on the graphic driver ?
[11:01] <smiley_> How can I get information what chipser for nvidia grapgic card do I have ??
[11:01] <gordonjcp> ah, installer?
[11:01] <gordonjcp> Kyle123: no idea
[11:01] <califalcon> well bu Ubuntu and Hi Mandriva oh how I missed you!
[11:01] <kev1n> califalcon ... i dont know
[11:01] <Kyle123> gordonjcp: what will that command do ?
[11:02] <gordonjcp> Kyle123: generally it will restart the thing that fires up X and displays the login box
[11:02] <kev1n> can someone point me to a good guide to getting sound capture working in alsa in feisty?
[11:02] <Kyle123> but wouldnt i have to have Ubuntu already installed for that to work ?
[11:02] <Giddion55> wtf is this,  my router just got hit hundreds of times by this   please.read.http.proxyscan.freenode.net
[11:02] <gordonjcp> Kyle123: yes, I missed the part about it being the installer
[11:02] <gordonjcp> Giddion55: did you read it?
[11:02] <Kyle123> Alright
[11:02] <gordonjcp> kev1n: what are you trying to do?
[11:03] <tapoxi> I have a transparent, barcode-shaped artifact in the upper right corner of my screen. It only appears after I'm logged in (not in GDM) and it disappears after an hour or so.
[11:03] <Giddion55> read what,  theres no link
[11:03] <tapoxi> er, upper left corner.

[11:03] <kev1n> trying to get my sound recorder program working
[11:03] <gordonjcp> ok
[11:03] <gordonjcp> what are you using?
[11:03] <kev1n> sound works well...
[11:04] <kev1n> gordonjcp, what...hardware or software?
[11:04] <Giddion55> gordonjcp,  nothing appreas when i go to http://proxyscan.freenode.net
[11:04] <animesh> can any one help me regarding data transfer using ftp
[11:04] <megasquid> how would i move the first 100 files from one directory to another?
[11:05] <animesh> i have already posted my problem here but didn't get any response
[11:06] <gordonjcp> Giddion55: why are you going there, and not to the URL provided?
[11:06] <gordonjcp> Giddion55: aha, because it's broken
[11:06] <mat1980> babo: sorry, I was busy. Uhm... switch networks is not as trivial as should be, in my experiece.
[11:06] <gordonjcp> try googling it
[11:06] <gordonjcp> kev1n: well both really
[11:06] <kev1n> animesh, believe me, you dont always get a response in here.... and its not the fault of the volunteers
[11:06] <kev1n> wait one gordonjcp
[11:07] <Giddion55> cool,   it scanned me so my router killed it :D:D:D OWNED! :D
[11:07] <kev1n> software is sound recorder
[11:07] <gordonjcp> animesh: not if you don't tell us the problem
[11:07] <gordonjcp> kev1n: have you set the input in the mixer?
[11:08] <megasquid> how would i move the first 100 files from one directory to another?
[11:08] <mat1980> megasquid: first in witch order?
[11:09] <megasquid> mat1980: by alpabetical file name
[11:09] <kev1n> gordonjcp, i installed the alsa mixer gui but it does not have , Edit ..Preferencesd available to open
[11:09] <Tof2> hi, i've got problems starting the "desktop effects" under feisty. Can anyone help me ?
[11:09] <gordonjcp> kev1n: try the command-line mixer
[11:09] <Jordan_U> Tof2, What GFX card?
[11:10] <kev1n> OK
[11:10] <Tof2> Jordan_U, Nvidia GeForce2 Ti
[11:10] <Tof2> Jordan_U, legacy drivers
[11:10] <kev1n> when i click on the test button in sound settings for sound capture...i get this response... gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Resource not found
[11:10] <rohan> gnomefreak: ping, you around ?
[11:11] <Jordan_U> Tof2, I don't think that the legacy drivers support texture_from_pixmap, and so don't support Desktop Effects :(
[11:11] <animesh> i  have already installed vsftpd and changed the vsftpd.conf but when i went to connect with a remote machine giving the  error ftp: connect: No route to host
[11:11] <Tof2> Joirdan_U: ok, I thought they did
[11:11] <Tof2> Jordan_U: btw, Beryl works well
[11:11] <lenzzzinoleonard> am soorry but this question is about HTML can some 1 help me plzzz???
[11:12] <Icarus> compiz works better ;)
[11:12] <kev1n> gordonjcp, when i attempt to open Sound recorder.. this pops up only..... Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings.
[11:12] <Jordan_U> Tof2, Then I guess they do... if Beryl works then Desktop Effects should also
[11:12] <gordonjcp> ok, and in multimedia settings?
[11:13] <Kyle123> When ever you guys installed Ubuntu, how long did it take to Configure wvdial ?
[11:13] <Tof2> Jordan_U: ok. Well with Desktop Effects (compiz i believe), the screen freezes. But i still can do ctrl-backspace
[11:13] <lenzzzinoleonard> I know this is a chat room for linux. but can some 1 help me
[11:13] <Jordan_U> Tof2, It should revert back after a while if it doesn't work ( so you at least should't need to restart X )
[11:14] <lenzzzinoleonard> I got an Question on HTML if any 1 would be kind enough to help all b waiting
[11:14] <Tof2> Jordan_U: I haven't been too patient, but I didn't revert back after a minute or two
[11:15] <Tof2> lenzzzinoleonard: you won't have any answers here, go to an html forum.
[11:15] <Tof2> Ok, so no one have any clues about Compiz and Nvidia GeForce2 Ti ?
[11:15] <Kyle123> were is a good website to get a list of commands, like to see all of the files on the install cd and such ?
[11:15] <Gerrit> Hi
[11:15] <Jordan_U> Tof2, Yea, it should only take a few seconds, hopefully compiz fusion will be more stable
[11:16] <Tof2> Jordan_U: thx for your help, c ya
[11:16] <Jordan_U> Tof2, np
[11:16] <praecox> hello guys
[11:17] <praecox> I've got one question regarding printer support
[11:17] <praecox> is HP LaserJet P2015n fully supported on Linux/Ubuntu?
[11:17] <praecox> http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_P2015
[11:17] <Gerrit> When I restart my notebook after hibernation, there is 100% CPU usage continuously. Xorg is using a lot: 6% user, 60% system. My notebook is an Acer TravelMate 4100. It's already going on for more than 20 minutes. What might cause this?
[11:17] <swimmerino88> hello to evrebody I have a little problem.In my home I have a little server with amule...now I'd like to take some files with shh when I write the command to take it,the terminal says that it is all done(100%) but when I go to the directory I don't find nothing!WHY?
[11:18] <praecox> I found 2015 is supported, mostly also P2015dn model.
