[04:50] <fokuslee> thx
[04:50] <balutix> what does "ln -sf dash /bin/sh" really do. as i use the commando but nothing happends.
[04:50] <madman91> DBO: so what is everyone talking about?
[04:50] <mat__> why does it do this:cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)
[04:50] <marty> Error opening the selected video output device, from mplayer
[04:50] <madman91> marty: is it impossible to do it in linux ?
[04:50] <marty> madman91, no
[04:50] <wikijeff> Is there a limitation on what USB drives work with ubuntu? I'd like to purchase this one, but would like to be sure that it will work. http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Traveler-Flash-DTI-1GB/dp/B000AV14M2/sr=1-1/qid=1167449940/ref=sr_1_1/104-4894288-8747105?ie=UTF8&s=pc
[04:51] <marty> madman91, just google "rapidshare javascript"
[04:51] <harrisony1> wikijeff, most work
[04:51] <dubious9> wikijeff, if it's usb, it should work.  I've never had a problem
[04:51] <IsenMike> hello
[04:51] <dubious9> hola
[04:51] <ken> Good Morning! :)
[04:51] <marty> harrisony1, I'm thinking of giving Automatix a shot
[04:51] <IsenMike> I'm having trouble installing ubuntu
[04:51] <Madpilot> ubotu, automatix | marty
[04:51] <ubotu> marty: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[04:52] <fokuslee> automatix is awesome
[04:52] <wikijeff> dubious9, harrisony1: ok thanks
[04:52] <IsenMike> I'm trying to install it on a separate HDD from my windows install
[04:52] <mat__> cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)
[04:52] <harrisony1> marty, yeah automatix will prob work
[04:52] <mat__> sorry what causes that
[04:52] <metroman> Uh oh. I used Automatix.
[04:52] <ken> marty: I recommend not using any kind of scripts as they just delay the reading that you would have to do one day, when you get into trouble with these lousy scripts. So please go through the Ubuntu docs, and do the needful after its just "sudo apt-get blah blah blah blah".
[04:52] <dubious9> why not easy ubuntu?  I've heard some iffy things about automatix
[04:52] <metroman> How do I install new fonts?
[04:53] <harrisony1> !restrictedformats
[04:53] <marty> ...yeah, already gone through all of that
[04:53] <ubotu> 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
[04:53] <technel> I downloaded Ubuntu 6.10 about 3-5 weeks ago. As I recall, it was labeled as a beta release, but now I look at the site and it advertises 6.10 as a regular release. Is the one on the site now the same as the one I downloaded a few weeks ago?
[04:53] <marty> Maybe it's an issue with viewing Quicktime files?
[04:53] <dubious9> IsenMike, so what's the problem?
[04:53] <marty> But quicktime should be supported by mplay
[04:53] <marty> So I read, at least.
[04:53] <ken> metroman: Open Nautilus and enter fonts:///, and then drag and drop the font that you downloaded
[04:53] <harrisony1> technel, 6.10 has been stable since october
[04:53] <harrisony1> !edgy
[04:53] <ubotu> Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseNotes
[04:53] <IsenMike> after I get through the install, I change my bios boot priority to boot from the drive I've installed ubuntu on, but instead of booting I get the oh-so-descriptive "error loading operating system" message
[04:53] <marty> Grr, I really dislike the pompous nature of the Linux community... :/
[04:54] <dubious9> marty, yeah mplayer supports quicktime, but only if you have the codecs installed.
[04:54] <harrisony1> marty, quicktime can be iffy
[04:54] <technel> harrisony1, Oh, ok, cool! Thanks
[04:54] <marty> harrisony1, thanks for your help so far.
[04:54] <Madpilot> technel, if you've kept up the updates for the beta release, you now run the full release
[04:54] <marty> dubious9, what's the package name?
[04:54] <ken> marty: Use VLC media player for quick time files
[04:54] <marty> ken, ultimately, mplayer needs to play them
[04:54] <dubious9> marty, mplayer?
[04:54] <marty> so that they can be viewed in firefox.
[04:54] <ken> dubious9: !mplayer
[04:54] <ken> !mplayer
[04:54] <ubotu> mplayer is a media player. Enable multiverse repo and type sudo apt-get install mplayer for more info please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer  To compile it from source see:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer/Compile
[04:55] <ubotu> For Codecs try !codecs Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MplayerInstallHowto for installation tips.
[04:55] <marty> Yeah, already installed mplayer and the firefox plugins
[04:55] <cjavier> I'm trying to follow http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/DEBIAN_Compiling_VDR_Source_Packages, they use svn-buildpackage, but I need to aply some patches to the vdr source, any help how can I do this? at what time and how should I patch the source?
[04:55] <ablyss> the 3gp quicktime format isn't available in vlc for anyone whos intrested
[04:55] <madman91> marty:  i cant find anything that uses java script.. i see the "skip wait time" as in the 40 seconds... but not the download limit
[04:55] <dubious9> ken, thanks but I was just taking a guess at the package name at mplayer ;P
[04:56] <ablyss> actually, the video format is... sorry
[04:56] <dubious9> turns out it's called mplayer ;)
[04:56] <harrisony1> madman91, get a premium account or get your "friends" to upload to a real file host
[04:56] <marty> So, any other ideas on getting this mp4 file to play?
[04:56] <ken> !vlc | marty
[04:56] <ubotu> marty: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[04:56] <harrisony1> marty, errrr 1 moment
[04:57] <balutix> hmm. Generating package: Ubuntu/edgy
[04:57] <balutix> Requested package is not supported.
[04:57] <balutix> Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install
[04:57] <balutix>  how come?
[04:57] <madman91> harrisony1: thats plan b and c
[04:57] <dubious9> marty, I'd try vlc or mplayer.
[04:57] <madman91> harrisony1: im on plan A
[04:57] <IsenMike> can anybody help me try and figure out what's going wrong with my install?
[04:57] <marty> dubious9, yes, I've already said it needs to work in mplayer, which I already have installed
[04:57] <harrisony1> i like vlc i must say
[04:57] <marty> I like VLC, too.
[04:58] <marty> But I'm trying to get this to work in Firefox, as a plugin
[04:58] <fokuslee> harrisonyl did u get a chance to read my pastebin?
[04:58] <dubious9> marty, ah, have you installed the embedded plugin?
[04:59] <marty> dubious9, what's the package name?
[04:59] <ken> Anyway to troubleshoot extremely SLOW booting time with Ubuntu 6.10? I am running AMD Athlon 2600 XP+, 512RAM, 128MB GPU, 160GB HDD. The splash screens load-up bar freezes at 1/4 place, and stays there for considerable amount of time. Before, the booting bar filled up more or less at a uniform speed. What could be the problem of extremely slow boot-ups? please help
[04:59] <dubious9> mozilla-mplayer
[04:59] <marty> Yep, already installed.
[04:59] <dubious9> does it work from the command line?
[04:59] <marty> It looks like Firefox is trying to use totem, though, oddly enough.
[05:00] <mitrovarr> well, I tried messing with the keyboard settings.  Does anyone know how to change which kernel the installer uses to boot?  Someone who was here last time said that this wa a bug in the amd64 kernels and wouldn't affect the 686 and 386 ones.
[05:00] <marty> dubious9, does what work from the command line
[05:00] <cafuego_> marty: that's not odd, that's default behaviour
[05:00] <marty> cafuego, how is it changed, then?
[05:00] <MistaED> ken: that section is usually filesystem checking afaik, or maybe modprobing of hardware, have you added any hardware recently? even if it's a usb device
[05:00] <marty> Though, I'm not sure that it's necessary to change it.
[05:00] <cafuego_> marty: change media plugins (your alternative would be mplayer)
[05:00] <dubious9> hmm... maybe there are conflicting plugin packages.  what does about:config say in FF?  Oh, and does mplayer play the mp4 from the commandline, or just having trouble in FF?
[05:00] <IsenMike> I tell the install program to wipe the entire spare drive and install on that, the installation seems to go off without a hitch, but when I try and boot from that drive, I get "error loading operating system"
[05:01] <marty> dubious9, when I try opening the downloaded mp4 in mplayer, it won't play
[05:01] <marty> I said that before, too.
[05:01] <marty> ;)
[05:01] <ken> dubious9: cafuego: If i am having totem-plugin, vlc-plugin, mplayer-plugin for MOzilla firefox, and they show in "about:plugins". How do i tell fiefox to use one plugin in preference over to the other one?
[05:01] <ken> MistaED: No hardware added
[05:01] <cafuego_> ken: boot recovery mode and it will show you what it's doing
[05:02] <cafuego_> ken: I do it by removing the totem plugin altogether
[05:02] <ken> cafuego_: And if it takes a long time at a certain process what am i supposed to do? It certainly is taking quite long to boot :(
[05:02] <dubious9> marty, are there a couple of entries for quicktime in /usr/lib/codec?
[05:02] <ken> cafuego_: OK
[05:02] <dmc_> !cups
[05:02] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[05:02] <nix_ferret> Is the bit-depth setting in the xorg.conf file or is there a gui for it?
[05:02] <dubious9> er /usr/lib/codecs
[05:02] <cafuego_> ken: Then you'll eat least know which bit is taking a long time and you cna take it from there.
[05:03] <DigitalNinja> Is there a simple way to add multimedia support in Dapper?
[05:03] <ken> nix_ferret: xorg.conf
[05:03] <marty> dubious9, yes there are a couple files with "Quicktime" in their name in that folder
[05:03] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, easyubuntu
[05:03] <Xal2> Hi
[05:03] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: Doesn't work
[05:03] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, what are you trying to do?
[05:03] <Xal2> I need to reinstall grub. I tried grub-install /dev/sda but it doesnt work.
[05:03] <MistaED> ken: the ext3 filsystem does a fs check after 30 days, or after 30 mounts so it's probably that
[05:03] <metroman> How do I make Ubuntu read/write a NTFS partition?
[05:03] <ken> cafuego_: Ok so from the GRUB i should select recovery mode and observe the weird commands it throws at me? :)
[05:03] <harrisony1> !multimedia

[05:04] <Intangir> what was that linux tool to scan someones open ports?
[05:04] <h3xis> Intangir, nmap
[05:04] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: I've had good and bad luck with easyubuntu
[05:04] <Intangir> thx
[05:04] <dubious9> marty, hmmm... have you tried looking at the debug output from mplayer?
[05:05] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, so you're trying to get wmv's and the like to work?
[05:05] <harrisony1> IsenMike, run the installed and when the partioner come up choose edit partition table and then choose the 2nd hdd
[05:05] <marty> dubious9, how would I do that?  How do I play a file from the command line
[05:05] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: Yup!
[05:05] <metroman> !fuse
[05:05] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[05:05] <ken> IsseMike: Have you changed the HDDs ports or changed them by making them master/slave AFTER the install?
[05:05] <dubious9> marty, are you familiar with the console?
[05:05] <marty> dubious9, yes, hrm just figured it out
[05:05] <marty> It works from the command line, but not from the GUI.
[05:06] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, what are you trying to play the wmv with?
[05:06] <IsenMike> ken: nope, nothing changed after install
[05:06] <ken> IsenMike: Do you get GRUB?
[05:06] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: Well, we can't play anything because we don't have the codec. I've got it working on other systems but I used esyubuntu
[05:06] <dubious9> marty, the mplayer mozilla plugin is still skechy at best.  I find that a lot of stuff doesn't work.  I just wind up downloading them
[05:06] <IsenMike> harrisony1: I have tried that... would there be any specific settings that installing on a separate HDD needs?
[05:07] <marty> dubious9, I _did_ download it.
[05:07] <IsenMike> ken: nope, all I get when it tries to boot up is the message "error loading operating system"
[05:07] <marty> It still won't play via the GUI
[05:07] <marty> I right click, open with mplayer
[05:07] <marty> No go.
[05:07] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, *anything*?  As in, you can't play avi's or video at all?  or just windows stuff
[05:07] <mgardner> hello all, I have a question about running configure with the build-essentials.  It bails on me when it gets to GTK+ checking
[05:07] <ken> IsenMike: OK, there are no seperate setting for doing a seperate HDD install! I am having windows/ubuntu one two seperate HDDS
[05:07] <harrisony1> IsenMike, settings??
[05:07] <mgardner> shouldn't gtk+ stuff be around?
[05:07] <ken> IsenMike: Tell me which is the master and which is the slave?
[05:08] <harrisony1> mgardner, what you trying to cinouke'\
[05:08] <dubious9> marty, ok so now you can just play it from the console.  or install the mplayer-gui to play it
[05:08] <IsenMike> ken: is the message "Error loading operating system" something that Ubuntu would be likely to give?  Or is that my bios talking?
[05:08] <harrisony1> *compile
[05:08] <mgardner> ya
[05:08] <marty> dubious9, yes, clearly I've already done that
[05:08] <harrisony1> what prog
[05:08] <marty> It won't WORK within the GUI.
[05:08] <marty> It's saying it can't open the selected output device
[05:08] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: We can't do any multimedia because we don't have the codecs
[05:08] <dubious9> marty, when you say GUI, do you mean the mplayer GUI or firefox?
[05:08] <ken> IsenMike: Tell me is Windows-master or Ubuntu is master?
[05:08] <IsenMike> ken: I have three drives total.  The windows drive is on an SATA channel.  The Linux drive is the slave on the second IDE chain
[05:08] <tonyyarusso> LoRez: Something coming?
[05:08] <harrisony1> mgardner, what program you compiling
[05:09] <marty> mplayer
[05:09] <mgardner> harrisony1: http://fsv.sourceforge.net/
[05:09] <marty> Why would I refer to Firefox as Mplayer?
[05:09] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, that doesn't sound right, you should be able to open free codecs no prob.
[05:09] <mgardner> harrisony1: FSV
[05:09] <ken> IsenMike: And you installed GRUB on Ubuntu's HDD or Window's HDD?
[05:09] <marty> I can't open the mp4 file in mplayer.
[05:09] <marty> via the GUI.
[05:09] <balutix> detected version of X does not have a matching 'x710' directory
[05:09] <balutix> You may override the detected version using the following syntax:
[05:09] <balutix>      X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install]      where can i find the X_version and where is the <xdir>?

[05:10] <fokuslee> Hi could someone look at my messed up partition?
[05:10] <tonyyarusso> LoRez: ah
[05:10] <IsenMike> ken: I don't know anything about GRUB.  I went through the ubuntu installer and told it to install everything on the slave drive of the second IDE chain
[05:10] <dubious9> marty, oh, sorry, I was a bit confused.  I thought you were trying to get it to work via the mozilla-mplayer plugin
[05:10] <BHSPitLappy> Is it possible to save a list of all the packages installed in synaptic, so that those packages may be easily re-installed on a different system? I know this is possible for current CHANGES, but what about your overall selection of installed programs?
[05:10] <marty> That comes later - it's the ultimate goal.
[05:10] <harrisony1> mgardner, can you pastebin the errors ..infact paste bin everything (as infrome build-essentual to the end)
[05:10] <brandon_> what can i do if my system seems laggy?
[05:10] <IsenMike> ken: possible it installed GRUB on the master drive of that chain?
[05:10] <mgardner> harrisony1: I'm getting that right now, one sec
[05:10] <harrisony1> who ever had the messed up partition yes ill look
[05:10] <nalioth> BHSPitLappy: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/09/msg00152.html
[05:10] <dubious9> marty, ok I see.  wierd.
[05:10] <marty> It says, error opening the selected video_out device
[05:10] <ken> IsenMike: You know how to make a HDD master/slave?
[05:11] <fokuslee> harrisonyl lol soo many pplz need ur help
[05:11] <fokuslee> harrisony1,  thx in advance
[05:11] <BHSPitLappy> nalioth, nifty. thanks.

[05:11] <harrisony1> fokuslee, yes its very hard typing and trying to help everyone
[05:11] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, is there anything in /usr/lib/codecs?
[05:11] <ken> IsenMike: You know about the jumpers in a HDD, that you can change to make a driver master-slave?
[05:11] <mgardner> harrisony1: here is the url http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39408/
[05:12] <IsenMike> ken: yeah... pretty sure this one is set to cable-select... should it be set differently?
[05:12] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: I don't have to look because we didn't install them. Can't have what you didn't install
[05:12] <M06w> how do i set up my wireless card to connect to a wpa encrypted network
[05:12] <marty> IsenMike, both should be set to CS, in your case
[05:12] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: We need to know how you install them with out using easyubuntu
[05:12] <harrisony1> fokuslee, /dev/hda1 is an extended partition so the first logical partition, /dev/hda5, should be at the beginning of that extended partition. Therefore, you have two logical partitions, /dev/hda5 & /dev/hda6

[05:13] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, oookay.    That's how I did it in the old days ;)
[05:13] <IsenMike> marty: I believe they are
[05:13] <harrisony1> mgardner, errr
[05:13] <LameBMX> what u tryin to do digip1mp
[05:13] <ken> IsenMike: Do this, make Ubuntu's HDD as Master and windoze as slave and then try to boot-up the PC
[05:14] <dubious9> IsenMike, have you tried going into the bios setup right when the computer starts to see which drive is the master?
[05:14] <IsenMike> ken: the windows drive is an SATA drive, it's not on the same chain as the drive I'm trying to install to, which is IDE
[05:14] <marty> Gah, I can't deal with this
[05:14] <dubious9> ken, won't that screw with window's bootloader?
[05:14] <dubious9> or can grub deal with that?
[05:14] <marty> dubious9, GRUB can deal with that
[05:14] <IsenMike> the other drive that is mastered to the drive I'm trying to install to is just a data drive... my main system drive is SATA
[05:14] <M06w> does grub stand for something, or is it just a random word
[05:14] <ken> dubious9: My windows runs as slave, the Windows HDD never knows that it is slave GRUB simply chainloads the windows bootloader
[05:15] <LameBMX> grub can handle it .. but i think you gotta remap the drive order before windows boots viz grub
[05:15] <ken> IsenMike: Sorry, i can't help you anymore
[05:15] <fokuslee> harrisony1,  so there is nothing wron rite?
[05:15] <LameBMX> but it dont matter cuz IDE & SATA controller fudges stuff up in bios
[05:15] <dubious9> M06w, huh, never really though about it ;)
[05:15] <harrisony1> mgardner, try install libgtk2.0-dev
[05:15] <marty> mplayer won't work in GUI, says it can't open the selected video_out
[05:15] <IsenMike> ken: am I confusing my terms here?  SATA drives aren't master or slave, right?  It's just one drive connected by one cord to the mobo.
[05:15] <harrisony1> fokuslee, as that forum members post said no everyones partitions are like that
[05:15] <M06w> hey dubious, do you know how to set up the wireless?
[05:15] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: There is a way to install the packages for all the codecs. Mp3 etc...
[05:16] <SurfnKid> hi does anyone know anytning about the ./thumbnails folder?
[05:16] <SurfnKid> would it hurt if I delete the contents

[05:16] <SurfnKid> its taking up a s*** load of space
[05:16] <harrisony1> SurfnKid, nup
[05:16] <fokuslee> harrisonyl ok thx thx
[05:16] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, hmm... maybe there's something in the non-free repository
[05:16] <fokuslee> : )
[05:16] <M06w> last time i set it up i had to edit some files to make the wpa work, but that was a distro ago
[05:16] <cafuego_> IsenMike: Yeah, they're kinda all masters.
[05:16] <harrisony1> SurfnKid, but it will regenerate it self so you can turn off thumbnails in naultilus
[05:16] <harrisony1> and mgardner install libgtk1.2-dev as well
[05:16] <SurfnKid> ah
[05:16] <SurfnKid> ok
[05:17] <Xbehave> surfn id guess it wouldnt but if u use thumnail previews it will slow down opening folders that have them as it will fill them again
[05:17] <skarface> is there a command that will tell me about the processor?
[05:17] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: I've tried all kinds of stuff. Not there. Need to add extra repositories
[05:17] <harrisony1> mgardner, then try recompile it again :)
[05:17] <IsenMike> so does ubuntu have to boot from a master drive?
[05:17] <M06w> no
[05:17] <LameBMX> IsenMike, no
[05:17] <SurfnKid> Xbehave, i see
[05:17] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, ok, what are you using to try and open the files?
[05:17] <LameBMX> IsenMike, you would be much better off to trust ubuntu to make and install to space on your sata drive
[05:18] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: I'm not trying to open the files. I'm trying to get the codecs and the applications to open the files
[05:18] <SurfnKid> harrisony1, thanks man
[05:18] <M06w> why does ubuntu fail at self partitioning external(usb) drives
[05:18] <mwalker_mewconsu> i just reinstalled Ubuntu, how do I enable all repositories?
[05:18] <masked> is the ipw3945 driver that is inclded with edgy from kernel sources, and/or does it use the built-in ieee 80211 stack from the kernel?
[05:18] <ken> IsenMike: I can't be of any more help to you as a SATA drive is not something i am familiar with
[05:18] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: There is a long list of software that needs to be installed before you can do any multimedia
[05:18] <IsenMike> there isn't any space on the SATA drive... and it's already partitioned.  I guess I could move stuff around though
[05:19] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, oh ok.  Are you on hoary, or dapper?
[05:19] <LameBMX> IsenMike, what about movin stuff to that ide drive?
[05:19] <harrisony1> SurfnKid, thats why were here, to help!
[05:19] <SurfnKid> hehe of course
[05:19] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: dapper
[05:19] <LameBMX> IsenMike, its not good to have stuff you want to keep on the same harddrive as a windows install
[05:19] <violot> Any idea why my friend would get: nidswrapper: No Version found when running ndiswrappere in Edgy?
[05:19] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, is there nothing installed under Applications->Sound & Video?
[05:19] <LameBMX> IsenMike, or a nix install as far as im concerned
[05:19] <masked> anyone know?
[05:19] <harrisony1> violot, doing what
[05:19] <violot> Just running "nidwrapper"
[05:19] <violot> We installed the -utils and -common packages
[05:20] <harrisony1> !nidwrapper
[05:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nidwrapper - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:20] <masked> violot: cos ndiswrapper is crap
[05:20] <violot> How do I get the connection then?
[05:20] <masked> get a real wifi card
[05:20] <IsenMike> lameBMX: all of my data is on a separate partition on the system drive, so if I need to reformat I only loose the os
[05:20] <harrisony1> !ndiswrapper
[05:20] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:20] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: You don't get it. I don't have any codecs installed. How can I play an mp3 file if I don't have the software to play an mp3 file
[05:20] <violot> It's my friends
[05:20] <masked> violot: what sort of card is it?
[05:20] <dubious9> IsenMike, I like that approach.
[05:20] <masked> sioif your going to use linux, use hardware that is supported by it.
[05:20] <LameBMX> IsenMike, dont trust windows to handle partitions correctly .. i already made that mistake myself one
[05:20] <LameBMX> once
[05:21] <IsenMike> i'm noticing now that it's in an "extended" partition, though, which, I believe, means that changing the partition structure to add linux to it is going to be sort of a pain, yes?
[05:21] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, well you should be able to open a bunch of stuff without having to install anything extra from the default install.  Do you have a couple sample mp3 that you want to play/
[05:21] <LameBMX> can we say between sector bounderies .. then gentoo overwrote the mft because it didnt know that half a sector was a different partition
[05:22] <masked> is the ipw3945 driver that is inclded with edgy from kernel sources, and/or does it use the built-in ieee 80211 stack from the kernel?
[05:22] <LameBMX> thats what i get for using windows tools lol
[05:22] <violot> masked: I'm trying two ones, one for my friend, one for my dad (Our laptop)
[05:22] <dmc_> !ogg DigitalNinja
[05:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ogg DigitalNinja - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[05:23] <DigitalNinja> codec
[05:23] <masked> violot: take it in te cash converters and tell them it's worth $100
[05:23] <dubious9> mp3!

[05:23] <masked> violot: well, too bad.
[05:24] <masked> violot: ndiswrapper is a waste of time imho.
[05:24] <kyncani> IsenMike: wikipedia i guess ?
[05:24] <brandon_> how can I install wine?
[05:24] <violot> So basically the companies are assholes for not creating Linux drivers/releasing source code...
[05:24] <h3xis> no
[05:25] <masked> violot: yeah, and most the other chipsets are shit anyway
[05:25] <h3xis> they dont have to release them
[05:25] <violot> They should.
[05:25] <violot> They are immoral.
[05:25] <h3xis> that's debateable
[05:25] <violot> Yes, I am an extremist.
[05:25] <alexander_> sup all
[05:25] <nix_ferret> such language... good work.
[05:25] <violot> Yes, I side with RMS
[05:25] <M06w> how do i get the install files for ndiswrapper for edgy from this computer to my ubuntu computer, if this is windows, and i dont have any blank CDs
[05:25] <h3xis> when did RMS say all companies should be forced to provide drivers for linux?
[05:25] <dubious9> brandon_, sudo apt-get install wine
[05:25] <alexander_> when installing ubuntu 64bit to mac intel machine do i delete all partitions? inc EFI boot?
[05:26] <dubious9> brandon_, what are you trying to run?
[05:26] <masked> lol
[05:26] <seamus7> Hi.. i have an Intel Pro Wireless 3945 ... it's not being recognized in my Edgy installation .. at some points in installing various software I have gotten this error: Warning: Module ........ ipw3945.ko is not an elf object
[05:26] <brandon_> counter-strike/steam
[05:26] <violot> M06w, I transferred it by pen drive
[05:26] <brandon_> E: wine package has no candidates
[05:26] <violot> Although they didn't work, I transferred it by pen drive
[05:26] <M06w> I have one of those, but its ntfs, or whatever that is
[05:27] <violot> Mine is too
[05:27] <nix_ferret> brandon_, I think I used automatix, but it not looked apon well here...
[05:27] <Madpilot> !info wine
[05:27] <M06w> so it would still load, even without samba?
[05:27] <ubotu> wine: Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.22-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 9001 kB, installed size 42452 kB

[05:27] <violot> ?
[05:27] <violot> Just plug in the flash drive
[05:27] <Madpilot> brandon_, do you have the Universe repo enabled?
[05:27] <brandon_> what is automatix?
[05:27] <brandon_> i don't think so
[05:27] <Madpilot> ubotu, universe | brandon_
[05:27] <ubotu> brandon_: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[05:27] <brandon_> actually i have all repos enabled
[05:27] <M06w> well i'l try that
[05:27] <LameBMX> IsenMike, check pm
[05:28] <dubious9> brandon_, I'm not sure that wine supports that.  But I'm pretty sure cedega does.  http://www.transgaming.com
[05:28] <Madpilot> brandon_, if you've got Universe enabled, you should be able to apt-get wine
[05:28] <cockroach> is it normal that the ubuntu installer takes several hours just to install the base system? (it's just a k6-III, but still...)
[05:28] <dubious9> brandon_, cedega isn't free, but you can get the binary for 5 bucks last I checked.
[05:28] <brandon_> Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:28] <brandon_> i'd like wine
[05:28] <Xbehave> if you go to the wine website you can see the guide to get cs working, its not too hard, if that fails you can go back and look at the other options
[05:29] <DigitalNinja> What happened to freecontrib
[05:29] <brandon_> first i need wine though

[05:29] <dubious9> brandon_, wine is good for stuff that isn't 3d intensive.  if you want to get it working, I'd suggest cedega
[05:29] <winmutt> hi
[05:29] <winmutt> how can i install ubuntu without a cdrom and no terminal?
[05:29] <brandon_> i want to use wine
[05:29] <brandon_> GAH!
[05:29] <winmutt> mount the alternate cd?
[05:29] <Xbehave> your best of going to winehq 1st seing if its worth it, ive had cs worknig in wine no problems
[05:29] <winmutt> wine sucks
[05:29] <winmutt> cedega got my money
[05:30] <winmutt> what a waste
[05:30] <brandon_> wow
[05:30] <LameBMX> ummm you system is pretty crashed if you dont have a terminal winmutt
[05:30] <dubious9> Xbehave, ok great.  I didn't know that.  I just know that cedega tends to have better support for games.
[05:30] <brandon_> what does this mean.. Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:30] <Xbehave> also at winehq (i think) you can add the wine repo to get the latest wine
[05:30] <LameBMX> cedega rocked last time i used it
[05:30] <brandon_> do I need something else first?
[05:31] <LameBMX> but thats been a while ago
[05:31] <brandon_> what does this mean.. Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:31] <Madpilot> brandon_, usually, it means there is something wrong with your sources.list - could yo pastebin that?
[05:31] <Xbehave> dubious, cedega is wine with support and people getting it working for you,(i think never installed it myself) but at the core its just wine
[05:31] <mitrovarr> yay, I finally managed to get ubuntu to boot on my new system!  Only took a month!
[05:31] <brandon_> what folder is it in?
[05:31] <slicky> soudblaster live and linux = bad choise?
[05:31] <Madpilot> brandon_, /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:32] <dubious9> Xbehave, right, but I though it was actually a fork.  I.e. they have code that the mainline wine doesn't
[05:32] <cafuego_> slicky: mine works fine
[05:32] <slicky> cafuego_: okey
[05:32] <brandon_> http://pastebin.ca/296403
[05:32] <LameBMX> mitrovarr, first linux install?
[05:32] <nix_ferret> What types of main stream apps have all of you been able to get working in wine?
[05:33] <bigfuzzyjesus> Does anyone here have a thinkpad R51
[05:33] <dubious9> mitrovarr, congrats!  welcome to the club ;)
[05:33] <mitrovarr> LameBMX:  No, extremely ugly hardware problems.  Ubuntu hates my motherboard, IDE controller, and video card with a burning passion.
[05:33] <winmutt> how can i install ubuntu without a cdrom and no terminal?
[05:33] <LameBMX> ouch
[05:33] <LameBMX> yea took me a week to get a fakeraid install
[05:33] <dubious9> winmutt, do you have ssh access to the machine?
[05:33] <Madpilot> ubotu, install | winmutt
[05:33] <ubotu> winmutt: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[05:33] <winmutt> dubious9 ya
[05:34] <dubious9> windtw, what's currently on there now?
[05:34] <mitrovarr> LameBMX:  To get it to boot the magic sequence was:  Take the drive off the JMB361 controller and turn it off.  Turn off USB keyboard support.  Boot into safe mode and download the NVIDIA 8800 drivers and install them outside of X.
[05:34] <brandon_> Madpilot: did you catch that
[05:34] <dubious9> er winmutt, what's on there now?
[05:34] <Madpilot> brandon_, catch what?
[05:34] <brandon_> the pastebin of my sources.list
[05:34] <LameBMX> ahhh fun fun ... just turnin the controller off in bios didnt work?
[05:34] <seamus7> What is an elf object?
[05:34] <Madpilot> brandon_, ah, the pastein - got it - just a sec
[05:35] <mitrovarr> LameBMX:  Well, it complains a lot if it's on.  And drives on it don't show up.
[05:35] <LameBMX> my first install .. gentoo .. took a while ... wound up have to select os by which sata controller i booted from in bios
[05:35] <dubious9> brandon_, oooh, you're running the 64 bit version?
[05:35] <brandon_> yeah
[05:35] <LameBMX> thats why i was soo happy to get this fake raid workin
[05:35] <brandon_> and it seems slow
[05:35] <brandon_> lol
[05:36] <mitrovarr> LameBMX:  I've installed it on other computers before actually.  I just can't believe all the terrible hardware problems I had this time. It's been nasty.
[05:36] <winmutt> dubious9 : gentoo
[05:36] <LameBMX> mitrovarr, yea i meant just turning the controller off instead of off and removing the drive
[05:36] <Madpilot> brandon_, I don't run 64bit, but there are issues w/ 64bit + wine
[05:36] <winmutt> tired of emerge -uDN world headaches
[05:36] <dubious9> brandon_, sorry I don't have much expirience with that.  I've got a 64 bit chip myself, and I'm running the 32 bit version.  It seems to work out better that way for me.
[05:36] <winmutt> cant take it anymor
[05:36] <Xbehave> dubious your right it apears cedega has been developed beond wine, and wine only supports x86 i think
[05:36] <mitrovarr> LameBMX:  Oh, well, if I have to turn the controller off, I have to hook the drive up elsewhere after all.
[05:36] <LameBMX> ahh lol
[05:36] <LameBMX> fun fun
[05:37] <dubious9> winmutt, lol I feel your pain.  there should be instruction for an ftp install on the website, but I've never personally done it before.
[05:37] <brandon_> i'm hesitant to want to run 32bit
[05:37] <dubious9> brandon_, why?
[05:37] <brandon_> because i want a 64bit worlds
[05:37] <brandon_> world*
[05:37] <winmutt> im looking
[05:37] <winmutt> it cant be that hard
[05:38] <winmutt> ive done it before
[05:38] <netboix> could anyone tell me what composite extensions are?
[05:38] <LameBMX> brandon_, then just run 2 32bit programs at the same time lol
[05:38] <seamus7> Hi I get a Warning my intel pro wireless 3945 .ko file not being  an elf object .... is this why my wireless card was never recognized when I installed Edgy ... i thought I had read it would be.
[05:38] <dubious9> brandon_, hehe, yeah but I think right now it's a pipe dream.  There's no real compelling reason to run the 64 bit AFAIK.  and lot's of drawbacks
[05:38] <gili> what is a good audio conversion program for gnome...?
[05:38] <brandon_> name the drawbacks
[05:39] <gili> i want to conver APE tracks to WAV/MP3....anyone?
[05:39] <dubious9> brandon_, well, driver incompatabilies for one.  Most software is still very much 32bit.  There are a bunch of bugs on the 64 side
[05:40] <brandon_> would audio fall in that category?  i get a lot of audio popping?
[05:40] <Madpilot> brandon_, most of the 64bit issues are w/ propietary stuff - there's no Flash for you, for one thing
[05:40] <dubious9> brandon_, yeah, exactly that.  I can't say for sure it's the cause but it's a leading contender.
[05:41] <dubious9> brandon_, long story short, if it's a server a install the 64 bit.  But if it's a multimedia workstation (aka home computer) stick with the 32.
[05:41] <cockroach> is there a way to install ubuntu in text-mode?
[05:41] <BHSPitLappy> cockroach, download the Alternate CD.
[05:41] <netboix> cockroach: i think of the alternate cd
[05:41] <dubious9> cockroach, yes.
[05:41] <cockroach> okay, thanks
[05:41] <dubious9> !install
[05:41] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[05:41] <brandon_> I'll just wait for the flash and updates
[05:41] <BHSPitLappy> cockroach, you'll see it at the same place you'll find the other ISOs
[05:42] <dubious9> cockroach, in fact it was the default installation mechanism before hoary.
[05:42] <brandon_> i dont think that because i'm on 64 i'm getting the audio problems
[05:42] <brandon_> or that 32 will cure it
[05:42] <dubious9> brandon_, you could always just try the 32 bit live cd and see if the audio pops still happen
[05:43] <cockroach> dubious9: sounds good. somehow the graphical installer doesn't seem very stable, or perhaps it's just my machine...
[05:43] <brandon_> i've done some research and nobody said anything about the difference
[05:43] <netboix> brandon_:  I dont understand you seem deadset for 64 bit no matter what people say I would say try the 32bit and see if it cures your problems
[05:43] <netboix> i am sure a lot of people in here are on 64 bit proc and are running 32 but os's
[05:43] <brandon_> the 64bit live cd, i couldn't hear any popping
[05:43] <brandon_> it's worth a try, but it's more configuring
[05:44] <brandon_> waiting is good too
[05:44] <netboix> lol yah
[05:44] <Asc> I'd like to format a file which exists on a filesystem, as ext3 so that it can be mounted.  How might I do so?
[05:44] <dubious9> brandon_, I'm just speaking from personal experience.  Right now, from what I've seen, the 32 bit is easier to work with.  You shouldn't feel "cheated" because you're running a 32 bit OS
[05:45] <brandon_> I realize this
[05:45] <dubious9> Asc, I believe what you want you look into are loop-back devices.  if memory serves correctly
[05:46] <Asc> dubious9, that sounds about right.
[05:46] <M06w> i just tried the 1spci command, as instructed in the ndiswrapper instructions, and it said the equivolent of invalid command
[05:46] <rookie> lspci, not 1spci
[05:46] <dubious9> Asc, you should be able to google that or page through the mount manual to get a couple hints.
[05:46] <brandon_> but dubious9, the only real  problems with it are flash, wine, and well i can't think of any others because i have to cancel out the sound being one
[05:46] <M06w> some one might want to make a note of that, the font on teh site makes it look identical

[05:48] <Asc> dubious9: Looking into the google connection.    Looks as though I'm looking for mke2fs
[05:50] <dubious9> nix_ferret, nope partition type shouldn't matter
[05:50] <__mikem> sorry, I didn't realize I tabbed to this chanel. I thought I was in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:50] <nix_ferret> What's a good starter app to tool around with to mess with wine?
[05:51] <dubious9> brandon_, well I'm sorry I couldn't help ya much.  I don't have any expirience with the 64 bit.
[05:51] <brandon_> no, you helped identify the problems
[05:51] <brandon_> i'm just impatient
[05:51] <dubious9> nix_ferret, I installed firefox under wine so I could install the latest flash.  Works pretty good too ;)
[05:52] <nix_ferret> Nice! I'll check that out.
[05:52] <gili> how do i convert APE audio to MP3/Wav in edgy??
[05:52] <gili> which prog is bets?
[05:52] <dubious9> brandon_, well I know reinstalling is a pain, but I really do recomend the 32 bit version, especially for multimedia and 3d stuff
[05:52] <gili> *best
[05:53] <dubious9> gili, yikes APE?  where'd you get that?
[05:53] <brandon_> what specifically
[05:54] <brandon_> dubious9: ?
[05:54] <gili> dubious9: what do you mean.....? I wanna to convert some monkeys audio to WAV
[05:54] <dubious9> brandon_, You want to know what now?
[05:54] <dubious9> gili, have you tried audacity?
[05:55] <brandon_> what specifically is better about the multimedia and 3dstuff in the 32bit world?
[05:55] <netboix> does anyone know of a howto or a walkthrough to discover the coauses of crashed or lockups?
[05:55] <slicky> libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.  <-- vlc says like this :\  how do i get full dvd support?
[05:55] <dubious9> brandon_, well the nvidia drivers are tuned for the 32 bit world for one.  If you plan on playing games that is.
[05:56] <brandon_> how about nvidia audio drivers?
[05:57] <dubious9> slicky, do you have libdvdcss?
[05:57] <brandon_> if i could know that the audio popping would be gone i would definitely switch
[05:57] <slicky> dubious9:  how do i find out if i do? :$
[05:57] <brandon_> because than i know for sure it's the alsa driver
[05:57] <harrisony1> slicky, you dont then
[05:58] <brandon_> is the alsa driver geared towared 32bit?
[05:58] <dubious9> brandon_, those should be ok, but you've got to realize that 64bit is a second hand citizen in the multimedia market.  Drivers are particularly finicky
[05:58] <crimsun> brandon_, it's for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
[05:58] <dubious9> slicky, have you tried using easyubuntu?
[05:58] <brandon_> than there is no need to switch
[05:59] <slicky> dubious9: easyubuntu? :S
[05:59] <dubious9> !easyubuntu
[05:59] <ubotu> easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[05:59] <harrisony1> isnt it broken??
[05:59] <dubious9> harrisony1, it worked for me.  I haven't tried it lately though
[06:00] <dubious9> slicky, it automated the installation of most multimedia stuff
[06:00] <dubious9> harrisony1, do recomend automatix over easyubuntu?
[06:00] <slicky> dubious9: ok.. but iv got the libdvd stuffy.. but i get this msg: libdvdnav: Unable to find map file '/home/slicky/.dvdnav/LOIS_AND_CLARK_S1_D2.map
[06:01] <harrisony1> dubious9, i hate em both
[06:01] <dubious9> slicky, or http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_DVD_playback_capability
[06:01] <harrisony1> but if i had to easyubuntu its simpler for the beginner
[06:02] <dubious9> slicky, oh I've always had the best luck on dvd playback with ogle.
[06:03] <dubious9> ogle has nice support for dvd menus and such
[06:04] <dubious9> harrisony1, yeah.  I find it's a good starting point though.  Many problems with it yes.
[06:04] <slicky> dubious9: ow.. thanks ogle worked :D
[06:04] <dubious9> slicky, no prob, have fun watching superman ;)
[06:04] <slicky> and now i can watch loise and clark <3
[06:04] <slicky> :)
[06:04] <cjavier> hi, which is the easiest way to recompile a ubuntu package with some patching?
[06:04] <Fireal> Hello all: anyone know a good program to convert video files to mpeg-4?
[06:04] <crimsun> cjavier, apt-get source foo
[06:05] <cjavier> crimsun: any guide to go further?
[06:05] <harrisony1> Fireal, video as in ?
[06:06] <Fireal> various formats, .avi, etc.
[06:06] <dubious9> Fireal, are to trying to covert stuff to watch on your ipod?
[06:06] <crimsun> cjavier, sure, the ubuntu packaging guide, the debian new maintainers guide, the debian developers guide and the debian policy manual
[06:06] <Fireal> dubious9: close....PSP
[06:06] <pianoboy3333> How can I see what are the most recent packages apt-get downloaded/installed?
[06:06] <cjavier> I found "ubuntu packaging guide", hard to follow, pbuilder was to overkill in my opinion
[06:07] <crimsun> cjavier, pbuilder and sbuild are the proper ways.
[06:07] <cjavier> I don't one to package a new soft, just to patch an existing one
[06:08] <ozzloy> how do i remap keys easily?  the keyboard layout of this laptop is braindead
[06:08] <dubious9> Fireal, hmm... good question.  I'm not sure I've heard of anything off the top of my head
[06:08] <crimsun> cjavier, yes, and the best way to do that while preserving the Debian packaging is to use apt-get source
[06:08] <Novanosis> I tried installing beryl from sudo apt-get install beryl-core beryl-plugins beryl-plugins-data emerald beryl-settings beryl-manager beryl beryl-dev emerald-themes... and it cant find it
[06:08] <Xbehave> novan have you added the repos?
[06:08] <dubious9> what repository is berly in?
[06:08] <dubious9> multiverse?
[06:08] <Novanosis> i dont know how?
[06:09] <cjavier> ok, thanks crimsun, do you know if svn-builpackage do the job, I mean could I patch the source before the package is created?
[06:09] <Xbehave> you have to add it, let me fined them
[06:09] <crimsun> cjavier, it will help you if you're building from svn, sure.
[06:09] <Novanosis> hang on
[06:09] <Novanosis> il try
[06:09] <Novanosis> dont look for anything
[06:09] <Novanosis> ill try to update first
[06:10] <Fireal> dubious9, OK, thanks though.   Is there a standalone flash player that can play .flv files?
[06:10] <pianoboy3333> How can I see what are the most recent packages apt-get downloaded/installed?
[06:10] <Xbehave> http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/BerylOnEdgy#Enable_compositing_in_X
[06:10] <Novanosis> thanks
[06:11] <Xbehave> its at the top i had same problem yesterday
[06:12] <Xbehave> does anybody know if microsoft webcams are completly made by MS?
[06:13] <BHSPitLappy> dumb question, but... the default apps that open in response to certain actions, e.g. iPod connection -> Rhythmbox, DVD -> Totem, CD -> Sound Juicer ... how can these be changed/disabled
[06:13] <dubious9> pianoboy3333, you look in /var/cache/apt and sort by time
[06:13] <BHSPitLappy> Xbehave, it wouldn't surprise me if they were rebranded
[06:13] <Novanosis> dependency is not satisfied? for the deb file on beryl?
[06:13] <Novanosis> what do I do?
[06:13] <mitrovarr> so, how do I force kubuntu to allow some kind of sane refresh rate.  I've programmed in the proper refresh ranges into xorg.conf and everything, but it refuses to let me try anything other than '51mhz' and '59mhz'.  I should be able to do up to 75.
[06:14] <Xbehave> if its a repranded 1 is there anyway to find out what it really is so i can get it to work on linux?
[06:15] <dubious9> Fireal, nuts I looked that up a couple months ago, but right now I can't find it.
[06:15] <ark3qqq> Can someone point me to the right way to get accelerated 3D on my laptop? I have a 950 GMA.
[06:15] <Asc> I'm looking for a program that does nothing but display a background.  No icons or anything.  Bonus points if it can run in the background, on an xterm or something.    But I don't want it to start a program tab in ion, which nautilus and xfdesktop do.
[06:17] <Fireal> dubious9, thanks...will continue the search
[06:17] <Novanosis> can someone pm me and help me install beryl?
[06:18] <dubious9> Asc, ion?
[06:18] <mitrovarr> So, anyone know how to force kubunto to allow higher refresh rates?  59 mhz. is a new low.  We're talking eye cancer, here.
[06:18] <Asc> dubious9: a window manager
[06:18] <dubious9> Asc, huh, never heard of that one before.
[06:19] <ark3qqq> Xbehave:  Any thoughts?
[06:19] <Xbehave> ark3qqq: have your tried the start up guide
[06:19] <Asc> dubious9: It's not often mentioned.
[06:20] <ark3qqq> Xbehave:  I haven't tried anything. Can you point me to it?
[06:20] <dubious9> Asc, well I know imagemagick's display command is pretty bare bones.  maybe you can use that
[06:21] <dubious9> !3d
[06:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 3d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:21] <Xbehave> im just looking for it i ran it yesterday but cant work my way around my history
[06:21] <nix_ferret> So if I use IE 7 in wine, will I get a virus?
[06:21] <dubious9> ark3qqq, what kind of video card do you have?
[06:21] <mitrovarr> nevermind everyone, the nvidia configurator utility worked to change it.
[06:21] <harrisony1> nix_ferret, no not really
[06:22] <ark3qqq> dubious9:  Intel 950 GMA.
[06:22] <Asc> nix_ferret: I heard that there was one that could affect wine.  But google 'windows viruses wine'.
[06:22] <ark3qqq> I'm just trying to play Scorched3D, nothing fancy.
[06:22] <Xbehave> ark3qqq:  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Graphics_Card <may sort it
[06:23] <bruenig> Asc, and to get rid of it, all you do is rm ~/.wine
[06:23] <ark3qqq> Xbehave:  Thanks, looking.
[06:23] <cjavier> Novanosis: I follow this guide and I was up in notime: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu
[06:23] <Novanosis> rgr that thank you
[06:23] <Xbehave> that guide will help you sort out most things or atleast point you in the right direction
[06:23] <dubious9> ark3qqq, hmm... I'm only versed in nvidia cards. does xgears not work?
[06:24] <Jason> Does anyone have a link to a site that can walk me through getting ubuntu to recognize my NIC?
[06:25] <cjavier> I'm also using trevio svn packages: deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy beryl-svn
[06:25] <ark3qqq> dubious9:  xgears is not found; glxgears works, but is slow. It's not that Scorched3D doesn't work; it's just ridiculously slow.
[06:26] <Music_Shuffle> Drivers?
[06:26] <nix_ferret> You know, I thought ubuntu was pretty nice when I first installed it, but I just found Dopewars in the repo, and now I think ubuntu is DOPE!
[06:27] <bruenig> dopewars, hmm buy the most of whatever the most expensive drug is and then sell it, automatic victory everytime
[06:27] <dubious9> ark3qqq, it may be that there aren't accelerated drivers for that chipset :(
[06:27] <mitrovarr> I thought the drivers for GMAs aren't only accelerated, but open source?
[06:27] <saxaphone_man> How can I totally reconfigure my internet connection, like wipe all previous settings, and totally start over?
[06:28] <ark3qqq> Yeah, I was under the impression that Intel had good open source support. Anyway, how do I check?
[06:28] <hendrickvp> does anyone know how or where you get the GD2 toolkit?
[06:28] <Xbehave> there are some drivers in the rpm format, id just follow the startup guide the links of all you need to do are there
[06:28] <dubious9> mitrovarr, that may be, I've only dealt with nvidia
[06:28] <cjavier> saxaphone_man: sudo mv /etc/network/interface /etc/network/interface.bak
[06:29] <mitrovarr> dubious9:  Me too, I just remember people pushing them on Digg when the issue of closed source nvidia and ATI drivers came up.  Me, I go with Nvidia; GMAs are not quite up to running modern games.
[06:30] <Jason> Any suggestions on how to get ubuntu to recognize my NIC? no internet really sucks :/
[06:30] <Xbehave> erm is it an nvidia 1?
[06:30] <wheels3572> Can anyone tell me if they are having trouble or if they have had trouble with sound card Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE with Ubuntu or Xubuntu?
[06:30] <crimsun> wheels3572, works fine.
[06:31] <dubious9> ok, EST is getting kinda late.  I'm off to bed.   Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[06:31] <hendrickvp> does anyone know anything about the GD2 toolkit?
[06:31] <wheels3572> crimsun, you have a sound blaster audigy SE ?
[06:31] <crimsun> wheels3572, various SEs
[06:31] <wheels3572> Would you mind maybe helping me out to TRY and fix my sound issue please?
[06:33] <wheels3572> crimsun, I can tell you what I have done
[06:33] <wheels3572> crimsun, or I can pastebin it
[06:35] <crimsun> wheels3572, what's the issue?
[06:36] <mitrovarr> for whoever was trying to get video acceleration on the GMA 950, I found a doc online that said to get opengl accel on a GMA 950 you have to set the "VideoRam" setting to 128000 in the xorg.conf.  Source:  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1808047

[06:36] <saxaphon1_man> How can I totally remove all of my wifi/internet settings and totally start anew? Where are most of the internet config files? What happens if I just delete them?

[06:37] <wheels3572> crimsun, Well it seems my onboard Sound is OVER Riding my SE card.  HOWEVER my onboard sound is shut OFF
[06:37] <wheels3572> crimsun, Linux still sees it
[06:37] <crimsun> wheels3572, so is the real problem that sound is being routed to your onboard instead of your SE?
[06:38] <sephirot1> I cannot connect to my samba shares on the windows box-
[06:39] <wheels3572> crimsun, Yes that and the fact im in Xubuntu and cant find out where to goto select what card I wanna use
[06:39] <ark3qqq> How do I check the version of X.org I'm running?
[06:39] <_goofy_> ssh just gives me a command prompt no gui .... correct?
[06:39] <bruenig> apt-cache show xorg-xserver
[06:39] <crimsun> wheels3572, what's the output from ``asoundconf list'' in a Terminal?
[06:40] <bruenig> oh I mixed that up, apt -cache show xserver-xorg
[06:40] <sephirot1> hello - umm...i've got the samba network setup. i can access the windows share from my linux box
[06:40] <sephirot1> but not the other way round.
[06:41] <ark3qqq> bruenig:  Thanks.
[06:42] <unikon> anyone ? is there any program i can use to create a pdf file from a webpage?
[06:42] <stickyicky> whats the diff between apt-get and aptitude?
[06:42] <stickyicky> what problem does each try to solve?
[06:42] <DustOfTheEarth> Help Please    I need the password for root user
[06:42] <bruenig> stickyicky, aptitude was supposedly able to track dependencies better, but since edgy and the apt-get autoremove feature, they pretty much track dependencies similarly
[06:42] <_goofy_> there is no root user...just use sudo
[06:42] <crimsun> stickyicky, aptitude tries more diligently to resolve dependencies and recommends
[06:42] <bruenig> so I don't see any realy difference
[06:43] <saxaphone_man> How can I totally whipe my internet/wifi settings? I was installing a parental controls package, and now firefox/epiphany/w3m/all_other_web browsers don't load any page at all, but obv. IRC works, and IM works too. Please help!
[06:43] <wheels3572> crimsun, V8233, UART and CA0106
[06:43] <crimsun> wheels3572, ``asoundconf set-default-card CA0106''
[06:43] <crimsun> wheels3572, then restart your audio apps
[06:43] <DustOfTheEarth> _goofy_  then what do I use when asked for a password
[06:44] <_goofy_> enter the user password
[06:44] <DustOfTheEarth> _goofy_    Does not work
[06:44] <bruenig> DustOfTheEarth, what command are you trying to do?
[06:44] <_goofy_> then idk i never had that problem
[06:45] <DustOfTheEarth> several    like making new directory
[06:46] <bruenig> DustOfTheEarth, ok, sudo mkdir whatever
[06:46] <bruenig> DustOfTheEarth, then put your user password
[06:46] <DustOfTheEarth> then it asks for a password
[06:48] <jeff2> is there an easy way to add a "Windows" icon to my desktop to boot into Windows, and a "Linux" icon to my desktop in Windows to boot into Linux?
[06:48] <_goofy_> is ssh just a terminal...or is ther a gui
[06:48] <bruenig> just terminal
[06:48] <jeff2> _goofy_, putty has a gui for ssh
[06:48] <bruenig> jeff2, what do you mean boot into it, like virtualization
[06:48] <_goofy_> is there such a program for linux
[06:48] <crimsun> wheels3572, any luck?
[06:49] <wheels3572> I did that
[06:49] <wheels3572> no luck
[06:49] <jeff2> bruenig, reboot and load the other operating system
[06:49] <wheels3572> will try again
[06:49] <jeff2> _goofy_, putty is available for Linux
[06:49] <rgatin> please help me
[06:49] <bruenig> jeff2, I don't see how it would be possible to have it reboot and then pick the subsequent OS you wanted, I could see an icon that made it reboot
[06:49] <rgatin> i have Edgy Eft
[06:49] <_goofy_> sorry i didnt see your earlyer post

[06:52] <DustOfTheEarth> bruenig:   more info please
[06:52] <nolimitsoya> DustOfTheEarth, use gksudo as you would sudo
[06:52] <bruenig> DustOfTheEarth, let's say you want to start synaptic with root, do gksudo synaptic

[06:57] <ken> rgatin: are you on some restricted account or something?
[06:57] <wheels3572> arrenlex, ok np :).  Was just gonna try to get around using pastebin lol
[06:57] <HP_Vue> I wish I could get some videos of ubuntu in action, do you think any one could help me?
[06:57] <ken> ubotu: really? :)
[06:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about really? :) - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:57] <nolimitsoya> jorgp, the fstab could be handled post install, manualy. extracting the unionfs(?) image will give you a standard install, id think...

[06:58] <violot> arrenlex: Well, my answer was RIGHT AFTER his question ;)
[06:58] <M06w> *: Wireles network connects, but does not work. Why
[06:58] <gustavot> I just installed ubuntu 6.1 and when  I try to login, X11 restarts and prompts for my username and pass again, then  I get "I ve detected a panel already running, will now exit"
[06:58] <rgatin> ken: how can i check that? sorry, i am new to Ubuntu :)
[06:58] <wheels3572> crimsun, or ANYONE else here is what I see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39421/
[06:58] <ken> nolimitsoya: What happened? I think you had some sort of idea
[06:58] <arrenlex> violot: Right after the question he asked someone else. So it was in no way obvious to whom you were referring.

[07:00] <nolimitsoya> Pie-rate, i wouldnt use shred for encrypting precious files ;)
[07:00] <arrenlex> Pie-rate: Sure it can. gpg and pgp are AFAIK available on all platforms by virtue of being opensource.
[07:00] <Pie-rate> well yeah but you have to screw around with getting them installed
[07:00] <arrenlex> Well not pgp.

[07:08] <pr3d4t0r> Q. I am about 3,000 miles away from my server - is there a command line tool for monitoring processor temperature?  AMD-64, Athlon, Kubuntu Edgy.  Thanks in advance.
[07:08] <nolimitsoya> Ebagen02, ask ubotu
[07:08] <jorgp> nolimitsoya, are you talking a live cd or a install cd?
[07:08] <nolimitsoya> jorgp, live
[07:08] <crimsun> wheels3572, that's not possible, you either get a 0 or a 1
[07:09] <jorgp> all I have is the alternate install
[07:09] <sjust1216> Hi I am trying to write a script that will open the terminal and display some text I got the terminal to open but the text wont display
[07:09] <ken> :( :( :(
[07:09] <wheels3572> crimsun, sorry I didn't see the 1
[07:09] <nolimitsoya> jorgp, well thats unfortunate :)
[07:09] <wheels3572> crimsun, it was on next line down.  Its a 1
[07:09] <arrenlex> sjust1216: Use the echo command.
[07:09] <richard__> rawr, hello folk

[07:10] <rgatin> what file is responsible for running help?
[07:10] <jorgp> nolimitsoya, is that the desktop cd?
[07:10] <nolimitsoya> jorgp, the live cd is called desktop, yes
[07:10] <wheels3572> am I using the '' at the end?
[07:10] <hagabaka> there's a package in universe named libmetakit<IP_ADDRESS>c2. would it be able to get updated? (the version is put in the package name)
[07:10] <sjust1216> Ill try that be back
[07:10] <richard__> I'm trying out vmware for the first time and have it set up and running. My question is... Does splitting up the virtual HD into 2gb parts lower performance of the virtualized thingymibob?

[07:10] <Pie-rate> pr3d4t0r: Try cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature

[07:11] <wheels3572> crimsun, thought so :)

[07:11] <arrenlex> harrisony1: sudo -c

[07:11] <rgatin> does anyone know what file runs Help in Edgy
[07:11] <arrenlex> harrisony1: sudo -u <user>
[07:11] <crimsun> wheels3572, just log out and back in. No need to kill/restart X or the computer.
[07:11] <jorgp> nolimitsoya, I will download the desktop cd real quick.. I just want to see if I can do it

[07:16] <feross> saxaphone_man: worst case scenario you can delete everything under your home directory and log back in, usually that will clear any misconfigurations relating to your login.
[07:16] <wheels3572> crimsun, ok.  Ty.    I see NOTHING on my desktop HOWEVER if I go into THunar and goto deskotp it's ALL sitting there.  Any idea what happened during the upgrade that messed it up so i cant see my desktop?

[07:19] <Jason> pr3, what am I looking for in this list?
[07:19] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: Your NIC and its IP address, or your NIC and whether it uses DHCP.

[07:20] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: Then ping your localhost, then your IP address.  If those pings work, then you have a different network issue; like an incorrect gateway.
[07:20] <Jason> no mention of my NIC or anything close, just auto lo, auto ethO, etc
[07:20] <saxaphone_man> Can someone please help me with my internet troubles at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1946274 it says web filtering, but please read the last post, my web browsing now doesn't work, please help

[07:20] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: ifconfig - see what eth0 says.
[07:20] <sephirot1> except set the smb config to use the same workgroup
[07:20] <saxaphone_man> feross: that'd be all my files, and all my configs
[07:20] <sephirot1> and added a shared folder for testing

[07:21] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: So ping its IP address and see if it responds.
[07:21] <sidny4> is there a way to make anything I delete, be deleted instead of being put in the trash folder?
[07:22] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: If you have another machine in the same network, ping this one's IP address from it.
[07:22] <feross> saxaphone_man: back up all of that stuff somewhere else then create a new user with admin rights.. log out and log back in as that user. blow away everything under your home then copy everything from the new user you created to your home.. log back in.
[07:22] <Jason> kk
[07:23] <feross> sidny4: press shift+del when deleting
[07:23] <Jason> pr3: network unreachable
[07:23] <sidny4> yeah, that works, but is there a way to make it do that regurlarly?
[07:24] <saxaphone_man> feross: good idea
[07:24] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: From where?  Within or outside the box?
[07:25] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: Or both?
[07:25] <Jason> ping localhost runs forever, ping another box is unreachable
[07:26] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: How about ping your local IP address from within the box?

[07:29] <Jason> thank you pr3
[07:30] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: For now, find out which chipset your NIC has; maybe you can download an equivalent driver from someone else.  Also, try your vendor.  Some times they offer Linux drivers, albeit unsupported.
[07:30] <feross> pianoboy3333: nah, there was something else.. a log
[07:30] <CUBeR64> i'm trying to install the nvidia .run package, it states that i need to shut down x before i can install it
[07:30] <Toran> OK, i'm getting read-only-filesystem errors. can anyone help me remount my disk without rebooting?
[07:30] <CUBeR64> how do i go about doing this?
[07:30] <M06w> after iv installed the jave environment, do i have to restart the whole computer, or just my browser?
[07:30] <pianoboy3333> feross: no that doesn't work
[07:30] <Jason> I downloaded the driver to a windows box, it has drivers for redhat 6.0 to 7.1
[07:31] <plypkie> CUBeR64: if you're running gnome, you can do "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" to stop gdm (which is the thing that loads X for you)
[07:31] <Toran> OK, i'm getting read-only-filesystem errors. can anyone help me remount my disk without rebooting?
[07:31] <plypkie> CUBeR64: and then when you want it back, you can run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start"
[07:33] <pianoboy3333> feross: you find it?
[07:35] <arrenlex> Toran: mount -o remount,rw /
[07:35] <Yodude> hey can someone help me with my sound problem?
[07:35] <arrenlex> !ask | Yodude
[07:35] <ubotu> Yodude: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:35] <Yodude> ok i'm not getting any sound
[07:35] <feross> pianoboy3333: not yet.
[07:35] <ThePub> so for the fun of it I ran the edgy installer in "safe graphics mode" and have found that it still uses the same ati driver in the same way.  what's so safe about the "safe mode"?
[07:36] <arrenlex> !doesn't work | Yodude
[07:36] <ubotu> Yodude: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[07:36] <Yodude> although i have my volume bars unmuted and used
[07:36] <Yodude> ok i have 2 sound cardas
[07:36] <Jason> Yodude: are you using a netgear fa311 NIC?
[07:36] <arrenlex> Yodude: That is your problem.
[07:36] <lnknpk04> hey there folks
[07:36] <Yodude> no for sound i have mercury
[07:37] <Yodude> and an integrated motherboardsound card (intel)
[07:37] <feross> pianoboy3333: ahh, dpkg.log
[07:37] <saxaphone_man> test
[07:37] <arrenlex> Yodude: Do you get sound in one but not the other?
[07:37] <Yodude> no actually in neither lol
[07:37] <Yodude> for instance
[07:37] <arrenlex> !enter | Yodude
[07:37] <ubotu> Yodude: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:37] <ThePub> Yodude: you need to set a default sound card.
[07:37] <Yodude> i have my sound system plugged into my mercury
[07:37] <Yodude> no sound
[07:38] <Yodude> and i plugged my ipod speakers into the other card n still no sound
[07:38] <Yodude> tell me how do i set the default card?
[07:38] <Yodude> (and easy way plz a way that i can remember)
[07:38] <ThePub> Yodude: it's in preferences after setup.
[07:38] <lnknpk04> I'm trying to install my dell truemobile 1450 integrated wireless card and having some troube.  I used ndswrapper and have bcmwl5a.inf installed and it says "device present", but from here, I cant get it to work.  It recognizes the wireless connection as eth1 and not wlan0 like in all the tuts that I've read.  Any ideas?
[07:39] <ThePub> Yodude: at least, I always have no sound on my audigy after a fresh install :)
[07:39] <ThePub> Yodude: solution is always to set the sound card.
[07:39] <Yodude> you mean system-prefs-sound?
[07:39] <ThePub> yes.
[07:40] <saxaphone_man> test
[07:40] <Asc> Is it possible to configure grub to boot from a file on the disk?  Like set it to root=/dev/hda1/home/user/livecd.iso or something
[07:40] <Yodude> ok but evrytime i change the card at the bottom and exit it reverts back to intel
[07:40] <plypkie> lnknpk04: does it say wireless info for eth1 when you type iwconfig?
[07:40] <lnknpk04> plypkie: yeah, i get the info
[07:41] <lnknpk04> no essid and AP is invalid
[07:41] <mo1> hello
[07:41] <Yodude> thePub: what do i have to do?
[07:42] <pr3d4t0r> Have a great night, Everyone.
[07:42] <plypkie> lnknpk04: sudo iwlist eth1 scanning
[07:42] <saxaphone_man> not me...
[07:42] <plypkie> can you see any access points there?
[07:43] <lnknpk04> nope.  Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device
[07:43] <plypkie> hmm
[07:43] <lnknpk04> weird, eh?
[07:43] <Yodude> ThePub: plz continue
[07:43] <saxaphone_man> Can anyone please help me with my internet issues? Is there a way totally whipe my internet settings without reinstalling? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1946328
[07:44] <plypkie> lnknpk04: ya, i'm afraid i'm out of my league here.   i've just learned a little about wireless in the past few days
[07:44] <Kalidarn> what kernel version did ubuntu 4.10 start out with, was it a 2.4 kernel?
[07:44] <crimsun> Kalidarn, <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:44] <Kalidarn> 2003 was about the time the 2.6 tree was released as stable
[07:44] <Kalidarn> ah
[07:45] <lnknpk04> plypkie: no problem.  I knew i was in for some fun.  Wireless is the hardest thing to get set up on here (or so i've heard)
[07:45] <Yodude> plz can soneone help me with my sound problem?!

[07:46] <wheels3572> crimsun, ok that works but still having slight issues I cant hear no music when I play it lol.  NO matter what media player I use.
[07:47] <Yodude> do i install alsamixergui again?
[07:47] <crimsun> Yodude, sure, I can't remember everything.
[07:47] <lnknpk04> anyone else have a clue as to why I get "eth1      Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device" when trying to scan for an access point w/ my wireless card?
[07:47] <Feral_Kid> Could someone give me helping hand... I did a dpkg --get-selections > selections.lst. I thought that by doing a dpkg --set-selections < selections.lst, it would autmatically start downloading all the packages... Did I misunderstand the process?
[07:47] <Yodude> ok i'll reinstall
[07:48] <karakara> yahbuntew
[07:48] <saxaphone_man> feross: I tried making a new user, it didn't work, it must be a system config file...
[07:48] <Yodude> downloading alsamixergui
[07:48] <saxaphone_man> I'm gonna try re booting
[07:48] <Yodude> i hope this works
[07:48] <Yodude> hey in the meantime
[07:49] <Yodude> i'm also having a problem with my disks
[07:49] <Yodude> in windows i have C and D
[07:49] <feross> saxaphone_man: ok
[07:49] <Yodude> each arround 30GB
[07:49] <Yodude> but in unbuntu i get an error message when trying to open them
[07:49] <plypkie> Feral_Kid: IIRC, dpkg can't do any downloading
[07:49] <Yodude> i get "unable to mount"
[07:49] <plypkie> Feral_Kid: you need apt-get to do the downloading
[07:50] <braveheartlion> how do i access my floppy drive?
[07:51] <Yodude> anyone can help with that??
[07:51] <Feral_Kid> plypkie> Ok, with that said, how do I allow apt-get to pull down the files that were saved from dpkg --get-selections?
[07:51] <plypkie> Yodude: do you know what the linux partition names are for those partitions?
[07:52] <Yodude> Unable to mount the selected volume.
[07:52] <feross> braveheartlion: hmm. try sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy then cd /media/floppy
[07:52] <Yodude> error: device /dev/hdc5 is not removable
[07:52] <Yodude> error: could not execute pmount
[07:52] <Yodude> that's the error
[07:52] <Yodude> wait plypkie
[07:52] <Yodude> well i went to the disks manager
[07:53] <Feral_Kid> Or would I do an apt-get dselect-upgrade?
[07:53] <Yodude> it shows me that i have 3 hard drives!
[07:53] <Jason> Ubuntu doesn't recognize my NIC, do I need to reinstall the OS?
[07:53] <Yodude> on has a name and the other two have got pretty much evrything unknown
[07:54] <Yodude> in the disk that is recognized, i have 2 partitions : partition 1 and partition 5
[07:54] <feross> Jason: hmm, do an 'lspci' is it listed there? then lsmod... look for the module if it loaded
[07:54] <Trentster> Hey all, I have a strange problem, I have joomla installed as a customer portal on an ubuntu lamp server, everything works perfectly from the local network, but as soon as i hit the portal from the internet it loads only the text from the portal and no graphics or buttons etc...any ideas? is this an apache problem?
[07:54] <saxaphone_man> feross: got any other good ideas?
[07:55] <plypkie> Yodude: do you know if your windows C: and D: are separate partitions on the same drive?  or are they different drives?
[07:55] <Jason> lspci: no, lsmod:no, but i hear i need natsemi loaded
[07:55] <rushfreak2112> I would check browser settings first, then apache.
[07:55] <Yodude> i always thought they were different harddrives
[07:56] <Yodude> but now i'm thinking mroe they are partitions
[07:56] <saxaphone_man> feros: it was the clamav files, I got it
[07:56] <plypkie> Yodude: ok, do this:   sudo fdisk /dev/hda
[07:56] <feross> saxaphone_man: the problem were some internet apps right like firefox.. try removing the program and the configs, then reinstall.
[07:56] <plypkie> Yodude: then type "p"
[07:56] <saxaphone_man> feross: thank you for your help though
[07:56] <plypkie> Yodude: it'll print the partitions on hda
[07:56] <sushi_> I need to set up my home wireless network.   The Network Configuration tool allows me to enter the SSID that I receive the Internet from, but I also need to broadcast inside my home to other computers.  How would I do this?
[07:56] <feross> saxaphone_man: good to hear
[07:57] <plypkie> Yodude: then we'll see what's on that drive
[07:57] <Feral_Kid> plypkie> Any answer to that question?
[07:57] <plypkie> Feral_Kid: i was just trying to google it
[07:57] <plypkie> i can't remember
[07:57] <lnknpk04> hey, i need to modify my etc/modules.d file.  whats the command line command to open it up in a text editor ?
[07:57] <rushfreak2112> Trentser....You running Tomcat?
[07:57] <feross> Jason: if you do a 'sudo modprobe netsemi' what does it show in lsmod after..
[07:57] <sushi_> For example I connect to the internet from a wifi ssid "Pop"    but I also need to broadcast inside my home SSID "Coke"
[07:58] <plypkie> Yodude: after you get that listing, type q to quit
[07:58] <pokesmot> ahhhh, ubuntu RULES!
[07:58] <plypkie> sushi_: you want to connect to two different wireless networks?
[07:58] <plypkie> sushi_: don't you need two cards for that?
[07:59] <Yodude> well i entered sudo fdisk /dev/hda in the terminal
[07:59] <Yodude> but all i got is this:
[07:59] <rushfreak2112> If you're running tomcat check the bin/catalina.sh file for this:  CATALINA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true
[07:59] <sushi_> plypkie: I want to broadcast and receive at the same time.   I did this in XP using the Wireless Wizard.
[07:59] <rushfreak2112> don't know if it will help you, but try.
[07:59] <Yodude> You will not be able to write the partition table.
[07:59] <Yodude> Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512)
[07:59] <Yodude> Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
[07:59] <Yodude> Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
[07:59] <Yodude> until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
[07:59] <Yodude> content won't be recoverable.
[07:59] <Jason> feross: lsmod lists natsemi, lspci: still not listed
[08:00] <lnknpk04> can anyone tell me the command i need to type in to edit the modules.d file under root priviledges?
[08:00] <sushi_> plypkie: generally, I want to use my computer as a
[08:00] <feross> Jason: hmm, nothing on ifconfig?
[08:00] <sushi_> as a wifi router
[08:01] <Yodude> so what should i do plypkie?
[08:01] <pokesmot> I dont know if anyones ever heard of this, but i just used a program called instlux to install ubuntu off the internet, no cd burning, didnt even have to download an iso...very cool.
[08:01] <plypkie> sushi_: ok, i'm no expert on wifi, but i really think you need 2 cards to be a wifi router
[08:01] <rushfreak2112> Use sudo for root privilidges
[08:01] <sushi_> my laptop had an SSID of "Coke" and the rouoter across the streen was called "Pop"        worked great for my home network but I can't seem to do it in Linux
[08:01] <Jason> feross: nothing on ifconfig, and sys > admin > network only lists my dial up modem
[08:01] <sushi_> plypkie: again, I did it in another OS.   Worked great, but I don't want to use that OS anymore
[08:01] <plypkie> Yodude: hit "q" for quit
[08:01] <rushfreak2112> sudo vi modules.d should do it.
[08:01] <plypkie> Yodude: don't save anything ;)
[08:01] <lnknpk04> gracias
[08:01] <plypkie> sushi_: oh.  neato.
[08:02] <sushi_> plypkie: not really, I want to use ubuntu 'full time'
[08:02] <saxaphone_man> Can someone please help with a web content filtering issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1946420
[08:02] <feross> Jason: hold a sec
[08:03] <Yodude> well i didn't solve anything i still cannot access my hardrive
[08:03] <rushfreak2112> de nada
[08:03] <sushi_> plypkie: a simple answer would be to somehow get myself 2 devices for my one wifi card.   so far all i have is eth1, but if i had wlan1 and eth1, I could configure it.
[08:03] <Jason> feross: holding; really want ubuntu to work (don't wanna go back to MS)
[08:04] <sushi_> I guess my question is, How do I get two different /dev devices for my 1 network card?      And a related question, how do I broadcast a wifi SSID?
[08:05] <plypkie> sushi_: with an ethernet card you can do aliasing so you get eth1:0 and eth1:1 and you can assign different IP addresses to each fake interface.  maybe something like that exists for wifi
[08:05] <plypkie> Yodude: try the same thing for /dev/hdc.    sudo fdisk /dev/hdc
[08:06] <plypkie> Yodude: let me know if it says the same error
[08:06] <sushi_> plypkie: that'd work great.       Is it strange that my wifi card is showing up as ethernet?   It's a popular card.
[08:06] <plypkie> sushi_: on my laptop, my ethernet is eth0 and my wifi is eth1, so i guess it's not too unusual
[08:06] <plypkie> sushi_: it depends on what the drivers make it
[08:07] <sushi_> plypkie: neat.     can youo show me in the right direction to aliasing the device?
[08:07] <Yodude> The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 7476.
[08:07] <Yodude> There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
[08:07] <Yodude> and could in certain setups cause problems with:
[08:07] <Yodude> 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
[08:07] <Yodude> 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
[08:07] <Yodude>    (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
[08:07] <sushi_> and in Network Configuration, it will show up as two psuedo-different devices?
[08:07] <Yodude> btw in windows i see to disks one is NTFS and the oher is FAT32
[08:07] <plypkie> sushi_: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Alias/index.html  <-- try this?
[08:08] <plypkie> sushi_: i'm just googling "linux ip aliasing"
[08:08] <sushi_> plypkie: thanks you helped.
[08:08] <sushi_> yey
[08:08] <sushi_> google?  whats that
[08:08] <plypkie> hehe
[08:08] <sushi_> =]
[08:08] <lnknpk04> i think i figured something out w/ my wireless problem.  The linux driver is using "bcm43xx" instead of the ndiswrapper driver.  Any clue on how to switch that?
[08:08] <plypkie> Yodude: did you get a prompt in fdisk?
[08:09] <plypkie> "Command (m for help):" like that?
[08:09] <Yodude> what do you mean
[08:09] <Feral_Kid> plypkie> Yeah, I have no idea... I googled as well and tried to do a apt-get dist-upgrade and it seems to loading in somethings, but not all of the other files...
[08:09] <Yodude> isn't that what wu gave me a command to do in the terminal?
[08:09] <Yodude> all i got is that message
[08:09] <plypkie> Yodude: ya, you got that message about the cylinders from fdisk
[08:09] <plypkie> now what does it say at the bottom of that terminal
[08:09] <Yodude> yeah
[08:09] <Yodude> only
[08:10] <plypkie> does it say "Command (m for help): " ?
[08:10] <Feral_Kid> Oh, well... Back to the old drawing board... I was shift back from 32-bit edgy to 64-bit... I guess this is all character building... :)
[08:10] <sushi_> text-mode computing is a thing of the future.
[08:10] <feross> Jason: anything in /etc/network/interfaces for eth0?
[08:10] <sushi_> Yodude: gparted works great.   Replaced fdisk for me
[08:11] <plypkie> sushi_: i just want him to see what partitions exist
[08:11] <sushi_> fdisk -l
[08:11] <sushi_> l as in lama
[08:11] <rushfreak2112> You know what the f in fdisk stands for, don't ya?
[08:11] <Yodude> what do you mean suchi ( i'm using LiveCD ok? )
[08:11] <borg> what player can i use to play Windows Media 9 videos?
[08:11] <Jason> feross: sec
[08:11] <sushi_> rushfreak2112: please tell us
[08:11] <plypkie> sushi_: haha...thanks, i should have looked that up
[08:11] <sushi_> Yodude: live cd comes with gparted
[08:11] <rushfreak2112> fudge...to keep it clean.
[08:11] <Feral_Kid> That update and then go back to updating my Nokia 700 and life will be groovy!!!
[08:12] <Yodude> you mean Gnome Partition editor?
[08:12] <plypkie> Yodude: ok, try what sushi_ said:   type "sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdc"
[08:12] <Yodude> k i got this:
[08:12] <Yodude> Disk /dev/hdc: 61.4 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>0 bytes
[08:12] <Yodude> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7476 cylinders
[08:12] <Yodude> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[08:12] <Yodude>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

[08:13] <plypkie> aha, there we go
[08:13] <sushi_> ;lol
[08:13] <borg> can someone say pastebin?
[08:13] <sushi_> its late =\
[08:13] <plypkie> so those are your two windows drives...now we can figure out how to mount them
[08:13] <Jason> feross: ethO: auto eth0, iface eth0 inet dhcp... then it goes to auto eth1
[08:13] <Yodude> ok
[08:13] <Yodude> tell me im listening
[08:14] <plypkie> Yodude: sudo mkdir /mnt/c
[08:14] <cwillu> what's the name of the file that has the hardware mappings for ethernet cards to eth0, eth1, etc?  (not /etc/network/interfaces, the generic hal one (I think))
[08:14] <plypkie> Yodude: sudo mkdir /mnt/d
[08:14] <plypkie> Yodude: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hdc5 /mnt/d
[08:14] <plypkie> Yodude: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt/c
[08:15] <feross> Jason: try sudu /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:15] <plypkie> there's probably some easier GUI way to do that, but i don't know it ;)
