[03:10] <qbradq> phixxor: Yea, figured I would try an older version. Thanks for the chat, I'm just stumped as to why it would boot then five minutes later not.
[03:10] <phixxor> qbradq: you can also press "e" at the grub screen, and edit the boot line deleting "quiet splash." this may allow you to see what is causing it to hang
[03:10] <Traeumt> How can i change permissions of a drive so a non root user can read write and execute?
[03:10] <orudie> IndyGunFreak, i'll try anything as long as i will get the sound working
[03:10] <Badpenguin86_> What is the super key?
[03:10] <qbradq> phixxor: Then again, my CD drive is crap.
[03:10] <Pelo> Badpenguin86_,  the windows key
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> orudie: go to system/preferences sound
[03:10] <qbradq> phixxor: Cool, thanks!
[03:10] <phixxor> qbradq: :)
[03:10] <qbradq> phixxor: I'll go try that now. Later.
[03:11] <Traeumt> How can i change permissions of a drive so a non root user can read write and execute?
[03:11] <phixxor> qbradq: good luck
[03:11] <Pelo> Badpenguin86_, please speak to me in the channel, I don'T allow /msg
[03:11] <phixxor> darn he got away
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> orudie: go throught he various options there, and using "Test" see if you can get sound to work on any of them.
[03:11] <zues_62> how do i fix the boot problem??????????????
[03:11] <Badpenguin86_> OK Pelo
[03:11] <Pelo> Traeumt,   sudo chmod 777 /path
[03:11] <NathanExplosion> how do i tell if my wifi card has broadcom or prism??
[03:11] <Pelo> zues_62, what boot problem ?
[03:11] <buntunu1> nother thing is if your having issues with gnome network manager give wicd a shot some say that works much better for them with WPA or complex encryption schemes
[03:11] <Traeumt> i did it but its still only read
[03:11] <niekie> Hi all.
[03:11] <Traeumt> i dont want root to get 777 access i want every user to get 777 access on that drive
[03:12] <niekie> I have a *REAL* big problem.. I accidentally ran a mke2fs -j on the wrong harddrive.
[03:12] <Pelo> NathanExplosion, check the documentation and the specks
[03:12] <orudie> IndyGunFreak, so when i press Test, i should hear the sound right?
[03:12] <niekie> Does anybody have an idea if, and how this is recoverable?
[03:12] <phixxor> niekie: yikes
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> orudie: assuming its woorking, yes
[03:12] <alkali> Pelo and phixxor, thank you both for your help.  All went smoothly.  Mounted as /media/home and shared the hard drive with my ps3
[03:12] <NathanExplosion> i have no documentation, pelo
[03:12] <Pelo> Traeumt,  that will do it
[03:12] <Traeumt> okey ll try now
[03:12] <niekie> phixxor: yeah..
[03:12] <Pelo> NathanExplosion, google
[03:12] <zues_62> guys???????????????????????:????
[03:12] <niekie> phixxor: That's not even the whole story.. it's a whole lot worse..
[03:12] <Pelo> zues_62, what boot problem ?
[03:12] <niekie> But I won't bother you with that.
[03:13] <niekie> I messed up some other HD's too :|
[03:13] <phixxor> niekie: it happens to most of us in the long run
[03:13] <mariocesar_bo> hi, i want to set up the buttons of my laptop
[03:13] <niekie> phixxor: yeah.. but this is not *MY* data, but someone elses.
[03:13] <mariocesar_bo> how can i get the keycode of my buttons?
[03:13] <niekie> So, I'm really in trouble now.
[03:13] <zues_62> Pelo: i am having a boot issue when i have win xp installed and ubuntu and i am trying to boot a live cd but grub keeps coming up i set my boot priority in my bios to CDROM then HARDISK what is wrong?
[03:13] <NathanExplosion> pelo, the same make and model of a card could have broadcom or prism from what i've read and google would then be useless
[03:14] <Pelo> zues_62, how did you make the cd ?
[03:14] <zues_62> Pelo:  its a dvd iso
[03:14] <Jaydoggg> Pelo: SWEET!  I knew I was close... On the Net baby!  I just didnt have my DHCP enabled
[03:14] <Traeumt> Pelo: its still same "its a read only drive"
[03:14] <Pelo> NathanExplosion, do you have a model and manufactuere for the card,  find the manuafactureer's website,  check the card model on their site
[03:15] <Traeumt> i am pasting what ive wrote
[03:15] <Pelo> zues_62, and you made it with this computer ?
[03:15] <Traeumt> root@Sanane:/media# chmod 777 sda5
[03:15] <Traeumt> chmod: changing permissions of `sda5': Read-only file system
[03:15] <orudie> IndyGunFreak, hey, you know what i'm just going to buy a new sound card
[03:15] <IndyGunFreak> orudie: lol, that might be easiest.
[03:15] <orudie> IndyGunFreak, can you recommend a good sound card that will work with this ubuntu ?
[03:15] <fwp> anybody had a problem with slow ssh in ubuntu 7.04 ?
[03:15] <Pelo> Traeumt,   sudo chmod 777 /dev/sda5
[03:15] <IndyGunFreak> orudie: i think soundblaster has pretty good support.
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> orudie: hang on.
[03:16] <orudie> IndyGunFreak, thats what i have lol, Creative Soundblaster X-Fi
[03:16] <Traeumt> done that its still the same
[03:16] <Pelo> zues_62,   how did you make this dvd ? did you just copy the iso file on the dvd or did you "burn an image" ?
[03:16] <zues_62> Pelo: yes i did a cd in windows then ubuntu and i brought the cd as well
[03:16] <orudie> IndyGunFreak, and X-Fi is unsupported, there is no driver
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> orudie: lol, so much for tha tidea.
[03:16] <theone> yep i have creative audigy ZS
[03:16] <Pelo> zues_62,   how did you make this dvd ? did you just copy the iso file on the dvd or did you "burn an image" ?
[03:16] <orudie> IndyGunFreak, brb please don't leave i'm going to smoke a cig really quick
[03:17] <progek> Hi room, I have a script which I would like to run automatically each time I boot. Problem is, the script requires a 'super user do' prefix. Any ideas how I can automate this?
[03:17] <Pelo> Traeumt,   what is the mount point of this partiton ?
[03:17] <zues_62> Pelo:  i burnt it and it still didnt work so i brought the dvd with the os on it
[03:17] <godofredo> IndyGunFreak, How Do I Make A Folder Shared To All Users On The Box?
[03:17] <Pelo> zues_62,  this is very important ,  did you "burn an image"
[03:17] <IndyGunFreak> orudie: looks like this guy came to the same decision you did...lol  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=338733
[03:17] <Traeumt> its ntfs file system my old backup of xp OS
[03:17] <IndyGunFreak> orudie: he even had the same sound device you had.
[03:17] <godofredo> IndyGunFreak, It Says Permissions Denied...And I Want To Edit It :(
[03:17] <progek> s
[03:17] <Pelo> !ntfs-3g | Traeumt
[03:17] <ubotu> Traeumt: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[03:18] <Traeumt> i can read and write in root but cant do in another accounts :)
[03:18] <zues_62> Pelo: yes i did then since it would not work i went to my computer store and brought the DVD with the os on it
[03:18] <phixxor> godofredo: first do gksu nautilus. Then create a new folder in /home. Right click on it, and adjust the permissions so all users have read and write access
[03:18] <phixxor> godofredo: I think that will work
[03:19] <Pelo> zues_62,  try this ,  unplug the hdd ( all of them if you have more hten one) and  try booting from the cd
[03:19] <progek> can anyone help me with my question? Is there a way I can have a script run autmatically which requires a sudo?
[03:19] <zues_62> Pelo:  its a laptop
[03:19] <phixxor> Jack_Sparrow: you are without doubt the worst pirate I have ever heard of
[03:19] <Pelo> zues_62,  you do realise that you cannot boot from a dvd in a cd driver right, it's needs a dvd drive
[03:20] <Jaydoggg> I installed Fiesty on an old laptop that probably shouldnt be running it, How can I get some speed out of it now?
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[03:20] <Pelo> zues_62,  boot and try typing  f8 as you boot so get a boot device selection menu
[03:20] <zues_62> Pelo:  it is a dvd DRIVE
[03:20] <hyperbola> Jaydoggg, remove services from startup
[03:20] <orudie> indy brb
[03:20] <zues_62> tryed
[03:20] <orudie> IndyGunFreak, brb smoke 2 minutes
[03:20] <Traeumt> Pelo i have no problem about mounting the driver its only about permissions
[03:20] <hyperbola> and use xfce instead of gnome
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Jaydoggg: Run something lighter... what are the specs on the laptop
[03:21] <Pelo> Traeumt,  the proper command is  sudo chmod 777 /mount/point  that's the best I can do for you
[03:21] <Jaydogg> got disconnected... disable services? who said that?
[03:21] <IndyGunFreak> Jaydogg: the smar tthing to do would have been to install xubuntu, or a lighter distro than ubuntu
[03:21] <marko> i
[03:21] <marko> anyone here?:/
[03:21] <IndyGunFreak> Jaydogg: whats the speed of the pc?
[03:21] <Jaydogg> IndyGunFreak: hindsight is 20/20
[03:21] <Jaydogg> IndyGunFreak: its a cel 333
[03:21] <IndyGunFreak> u asked how to get soe speed out of it.
[03:21] <Jaydogg> 256 megs ram
[03:21] <Pelo> marko,  no we are all away at the moment, please leave a message aftyer the tone
[03:22] <Pelo> ;-)
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> jeez, that probably should run xubuntyu, you'll likely have probs with ubuntu i imagine.
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Jaydoggg: Double the ram would be the easiest
[03:22] <zues_62> ok Pelo ill try that
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> or that would work to.
[03:22] <CTho_> including "airstrike" in the package list is brilliant
[03:22] <xtknight> !fixres
[03:22] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:22] <godofredo> phixxor, i'm trying to run a server from a different home folder...and when i go to run it via the terminal (after doing what you said) i get this:  /usr/local/bin/tc-eliteded: line 25: ./etded: Permission Denied
[03:22] <phixxor> niekie: I remember seeing a package in synaptic that recovers data... try searching for it
[03:22] <Jaydogg> IndyGunFreak: its just slow, the install went flawlessly
[03:22] <CTho_> there's no way to convince windows converts that linux has games than to include incomplete "not yet playable" games that haven't been updated in >2 yrs
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> Jaydogg: well, its slow because you barely meet the system requirements, what did you expect
[03:23] <marko> i have a nvidia graphic card and i want to install the driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.11.html but i get this error http://shrani.si/?screenshot16cyb.png
[03:23] <hyperbola> Jaydogg, if you dont want to re-install, then just sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[03:23] <hyperbola> and you will get xubuntu
[03:23] <hyperbola> without reinstall
[03:23] <godofredo> phixxor, any ideas?
[03:23] <Jaydogg> hyperbola: will that keep all my settings and devices that I setup already?
[03:23] <hyperbola> yep
[03:23] <IndyGunFreak> hyperbola: but he's still gonna have a bunch of gnome crap on that old a pc
[03:23] <hyperbola> well most of them
[03:23] <Message_> lag
[03:23] <hyperbola> IndyGunFreak, it wont be as bad though
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Jaydoggg: For the most part... yes
[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> hyperbola: i gues i disagree
[03:24] <marko> can anyone help ?:)
[03:24] <newuser> does anybody know which is the mount point of the memory stick?
[03:24] <hyperbola> then apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop gnome
[03:24] <bruenig> apt-get removing ubuntu-desktop won't do much
[03:24] <hyperbola> its in /media i think
[03:24] <Pelo> marko,   to exist x   type   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop    in a terminal
[03:24] <godofredo> phixxor, you there? (uh oh)
[03:24] <phixxor> godofredo: I'm here
[03:24] <hyperbola> bruenig, thats why i added gnome on there too
[03:25] <bruenig> !info gnome
[03:25] <ubotu> gnome: The GNOME Desktop Environment, with extra components. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 12 kB, installed size 44 kB
[03:25] <BigToe> so I turned on my laptop
[03:25] <hyperbola> that would remove gnome and all dependencies i think
[03:25] <phixxor> godofredo: is running whatever command with sudo a possibility?
[03:25] <bruenig> apt-get removing gnome won't do much
[03:25] <BigToe> and ubuntu booted as normal
[03:25] <bruenig> it is 44 kb
[03:25] <BigToe> and I let my mom on the computer
[03:25] <Pelo> marko,  and next time just type the damn error msg here  don'T post a bloody pic, it takes for ever to load for some of us
[03:25] <BigToe> so she opened up firefox
[03:25] <phixxor> godofredo: that might be your whole problem
[03:25] <godofredo> phixxor, same error
[03:25] <godofredo> phixxor, first thing i tried.
[03:25] <BigToe> and my mom got scared and said YOU MOVING WITH YO' AUNTIE AND UNCLE IN BELAIR
[03:25] <m0u5e> im having trouble recieving files on xchat-gnome, everytime i have to /dcc get <name> before the file starts transfering, evne though i have "auto get" enabled
[03:26] <phixxor> d'oh ok. does it work in your home folder (as a test)
[03:26] <Pelo> !enter | BigToe
[03:26] <ubotu> BigToe: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:26] <m0u5e> is there another option that i have to enable?
[03:26] <bruenig> woops
[03:26] <bruenig> wront /
[03:26] <bruenig> wrong*
[03:26] <Pelo> lol
[03:26] <Pelo> bruenig,  sok I'm good now
[03:26] <godofredo> phixxor, is this bad?
[03:27] <phixxor> godofredo: maybe you could just create a new account and run the server from there (I'm not exactly sure what you're doing)
[03:27] <phixxor> godofredo: I have no idea what /usr/local/bin/tc-eliteded is, though
[03:27] <Traeumt> One last question how can i format a parittion without using cd ?
[03:27] <Jaydogg> hyperbola: what directory do I have to be in to use that command? cuz it said it couldnt be found
[03:27] <newuser> does anybody know which is the mount point of the memory stick?
[03:27] <Pelo> Traeumt,  sudo apt-get install gparted
[03:28] <marko> pelo
[03:28] <Traeumt> thnx pelo
[03:28] <Pelo> marko, ?
[03:28] <marko> i did that and it all went black
[03:28] <Pelo> newuser, generaly the automount to your desktop
[03:28] <Pelo> marko, that's what stoping X does
[03:29] <marko> i know but that's not logical how should i install the driver when i can't see nothing
[03:29] <marko> ;D
[03:29] <hyperbola> Jaydogg, what command
[03:29] <Pelo> marko,  command line
[03:29] <Pelo> newuser,  please talk to me in the channel I donT' allow private msg
[03:29] <marko> pelo it just went black and nothing happened for a while i rebootet
[03:29] <Jaydogg> hyperbola: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[03:29] <newuser> pelo, I need to know the mount point in /dev/.... to use syslinux
[03:29] <Jaydogg> hyperbola e: couldnt find package xubuntu
[03:29] <Pelo> marko,  you should get a command prompt ,
[03:30] <godofredo> phixxor, uh how can i allow all users to vnc into....i don't have a monitor...so i can't find the setting to allow vnc.
[03:30] <godofredo> phixxor, i'm logged in...but, i don't have vnc enabled :(
[03:30] <godofredo> phixxor, thx for your help g2g
[03:30] <Pelo> newuser, /dev is not a mount point    the dev will usualy be the next   letter in line with 1 for the first partition as in    /dev/sbh1   where h the driver letter
[03:30] <godofredo> phixxor, sorry
[03:30] <phixxor> godofredo: I think I have reached the limits of my experience ... sorry I can't help
[03:31] <Eggit> i am about to give up on unbuntu. . .
[03:31] <dcosson> HALP - I felt like trying Gnome again, so I installed ubuntu-desktop, and then I remembered all the reasons I don't like it... is there a quick way to remove all these crazy Gnome apps?
[03:31] <Pelo> Eggit, it's not ubuntu's fault that you can't find a driver, give me your card model and I'll see what I can do
[03:31] <hyperbola> ubuntu not unbuntu
[03:31] <hyperbola> Eggit, try another distrobution
[03:31] <hyperbola> there are too many to count
[03:31] <newuser> pelo, How can I know the exact mount point of my usb stick
[03:32] <hyperbola> one must be perfect for you
[03:32] <newuser> ?
[03:32] <hyperbola> ls /media/
[03:32] <zbadone> what are ya trying to do Eggit?
[03:32] <Jaydogg> hyperbola: it didnt find xubuntu package what now?
[03:32] <Pelo> newuser, you can'T unless it is plugged in and mounted,  mount point can be anyting
[03:32] <GNine> ok.. apparently xchat version 1.x.x was the reponsible for hiccups on my system
[03:32] <Pelo> newuser,  plug your usb stick in
[03:33] <newuser> I did
[03:33] <hyperbola> Jaydogg, xubuntu-desktop
[03:33] <Pelo> newuser,  once it has mounted to your desktop,  right click , properties , look there
[03:33] <newuser> It says /media/USB DISK
[03:33] <Pelo> newuser,  last tab propbably
[03:33] <Eggit> atheros ar5007eg
[03:33] <hyperbola> newuser, thats the mount point
[03:33] <alkali> Hey guys one last question.  Got my drives mounted but they still display on the desktop.  How do I make those icons go away?
[03:33] <Paddy_EIRE> ok, why do ppl always threaten to give up on ubuntu as if we're obligated to chase after them....Oh noooo dont leave
[03:33] <Pelo> newuser,  /media/USB DISK is your mount point but it is not the dev tree, look in the otehr tabs
[03:33] <hyperbola> alkali, ctrl+alt+backspace makes them go away
[03:34] <zbadone> alkali: edit /etc/fstab set to noauto
[03:34] <newuser> pelo, why the command syslinux doesn't work with that mount point
[03:34] <newuser> ?
[03:34] <hyperbola> temporarily
[03:34] <Pelo> newuser,  no idea
[03:34] <Jaydogg> hyperbola: e: couldnt find package xubuntu-desktop
[03:34] <Eggit> I am not expecting people to chase after me, just venting really. It's frustrating spending all day trying to fix just one of your problems
[03:34] <Pelo> newuser,  doesn'T syslinux require the dev tree ?
[03:34] <zbadone> Eggit:  what prob are you having
[03:34] <alkali> zbadone: But it won't automount them anymore
[03:34] <Paddy_EIRE> Eggit: so you quit after 1 day :P
[03:35] <hyperbola> Jaydogg, i dont know
[03:35] <newuser> I think so
[03:35] <speaker219> is it possible to use the 'tail -f' command on a remote file (like http://example.com/w.txt)
[03:35] <alkali> hyperbola: I was looking for a more permanent solution ;-)
[03:35] <bulmer> newuser is syslinux a command?
[03:35] <speaker219> Anyone?
[03:35] <IndyGunFreak> Jaydogg: yu don't have xubuntu-desktop available?
[03:35] <Paddy_EIRE> Eggit: spent alot of energy before I got linux to work on my hardware but I tried my ass of...now things come alot easier
[03:36] <Meroigo> i'm just wondering, if I get another hard drive for my server that runs ubuntu, can i mount it to / and it will get "merged" with the other hard drive so I don't have to care about what hard drive the files are on etc? They are like on one hard drive virtually?
[03:36] <newuser> pelo, in all the example I see a # syslinux -s /dev/sda1
[03:36] <Eggit> It will not recognize my wifi card at all, no matter what method I try. MY sound doesn't work. It took 6 hours to figure out how to install. I haven't even "started" using it yet, if this is a sign of things to come then i don't see myself enjoying this
[03:36] <Jaydogg> IndyGunFreak: it says no package
[03:36] <Pelo> newuser,  do you have gparted installed ?
[03:36] <Paddy_EIRE> Eggit: summary of what you have tried so far
[03:36] <zbadone> speaker219 no
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> Jaydogg: what exactly did you type in the terminal?
[03:36] <newuser> pelo, no idea, what is it?
[03:36] <Eggit> madwifi, ndiswrapper, the atheros driver already on ubuntu
[03:36] <Jaydogg> apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[03:37] <zbadone> speaker219, it wont open a tcp/ip connect to another place
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> Jaydogg: you need to use sudo.
[03:37] <Jaydogg> IndyGunFreak ya, i used it
[03:37] <Paddy_EIRE> Eggit: If you plan on giving up so easily then maybe linux aint for you.... If your of the mind 'someone else do it for me' then use mac or win
[03:37] <Jaydogg> IndyGunFreak: it started building dependencies
[03:37] <Jaydogg> then crapped out
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> ok, i asked exactly what you typed.., but ok... open synaptic, and search there for xubuntu-desktop
[03:38] <Pelo> newuser,    menu >system > admin > system monitor,  fourth tab ,  the devtree for all storage are listed there
[03:38] <Jaydogg> IndyGunFreak: did that first, nothing comes up
[03:38] <Eggit> I'm not of that mind, trust me. I spent hours surfing the web and going through solutions beofre I came here
[03:38] <Jaydogg> IndyGunFreak: i'm online now with the laptop, can I just download it to disk and install from directory?
[03:38] <Eggit> But if I end up having to go through this kind of stuff at every corner it just won't work out
[03:38] <zbadone> Eggit: for the forth time, what is the problem?
[03:39] <Paddy_EIRE> Eggit: this is your card I assume  atheros ar5007eg
[03:39] <Eggit> Ubuntu won't "see" my wifi card
[03:39] <phixxor> Eggit: maybe this is not the right compute to install ubuntu on
[03:39] <Eggit> paddy, yes
[03:39] <zbadone> Eggit: what card do you have?
[03:39] <Paddy_EIRE> phixxor: wrong answer
[03:39] <phixxor> Eggit: unless you're willing to learn a lot
[03:39] <zbadone> Eggit, what laptop are you installing on?
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> Jaydogg: maybe, i don't know... i suspect you don' have all the repos enabled or something
[03:39] <newuser> pelo, I think it should work now, thank you very much
[03:39] <Eggit> atheros ar5007eg

[03:52] <Locate> join #ubuntu-es
[03:52] <bruenig> grigora, I mean deleting them doesn't hurt anything
[03:52] <bruenig> grigora, it may mean 66.9 more
[03:52] <grigora> bruenig: what are they there for?
[03:52] <bruenig> grigora, well that is where they are downloaded before they are installed
[03:52] <bruenig> grigora, and if you were to reinstall one, it wouldn't have to get them from the mirror again which is faster

[04:12] <marko--> ok:D
[04:12] <nandemonai> So no-one has noticed slight graphical issues with the restricted nvidia driver in Feisty? I can't seem to google anything relevant.

[04:12] <marko--> Jack_Sparrow
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> marko--: Set it to vesa card/driver and 1024 just to get back in the desktop
[04:13] <Kousotu> LuiCal: give me about 10 minsand I'm gonna be on LInux
[04:13] <LuiCal> ok
[04:13] <espi3d> Slimstar keyboard on USB dont work
[04:13] <GNine> orudie: also make sure your physically connected to the right output port on ur soundcard
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> nandemonai: Did you see the warnings about using the restricted driver and possible issues...?
[04:13] <espi3d> anyone...?
[04:13] <Kousotu> I am on windows am because I'm getinga 2nd Linux istro

[04:14] <reuscel> i'm having trouble.  i was messing around with my panels, and somehow i lost my icon for available wireless networks, and now i don't know how to restore it
[04:15] <chrisnoxmas> hey guys -- i have a vaio VGN-T240 laptop.  I got ubuntu installed.  Got screen resolution and sound working.  Now video just does not work (avi and quicktime).  I load the video, I can hear the sound but I just see a blue screen.  Any ideas?
[04:15] <nandemonai> Jack_Sparrow, I did yes, just curious if anyone else has seen the same thing. I've tried restricted drivers in Breezy/Dapper and never saw it do this. Then again I never had XFCE Compositor on either ;)
[04:15] <johnstar> does anyone know how to use rsync to backup my $HOME folder?
[04:15] <StumpyFoot> Paddy the reason is one user will be accessed by multiple people and I dont want anyone messing with ANY settings for that user. IE mouse, resolution etc
[04:15] <Geek_> chrisnoxmas: you need codecs
[04:15] <chrisnoxmas> i have downloaded a bunch already.
[04:15] <Jack_Sparrow> marko--: You can copy it over the xorg-conf or set it to vesa ... your choice...  I am going to dinner in a minute...
[04:15] <kruck> I have a DVD in my optical drive, but Ubuntu is telling me there is no media there..I have installed all the codecs etc. for media and DVD playback, anyone know why it can't detect my DVD?
[04:15] <Avt3kk> guys I didnt change directory before trying to use wine and it cant find path to c/*** I reinstalled wine and I still get that stupid message so how do I reset it?
[04:16] <Avt3kk> first wine use<
[04:16] <HHP2K> kruck: Could be a problem with the dvd player itself.
[04:16] <marko--> Jack_Sparrow tyt
[04:16] <m1r> stumpyfoot , PM
[04:16] <kruck> possibly, but it plays fine in XP
[04:16] <HHP2K> kruck: Probably not then.
[04:16] <GNine> maybe that.. but i got a similar issue and i know my dvd/cd works
[04:16] <chrisnoxmas> geek_ : I installed all the codecs listed here -- http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/install.html#3
[04:16] <m1r> stumpyfoot, i have same problem
[04:16] <Avt3kk> is it simple or should i just put my / image back?
[04:16] <chrisnoxmas> geek_ :  any im missing?
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Avt3kk: Try asking in #winehq
[04:16] <nandemonai> Jack_Sparrow, As a side note I had gnome and compiz working on this machine with the same driver and it didn't seem to do it there. Only with XFCE Compositor.
[04:16] <jamescarr> any ruby users here?
[04:16] <kruck> Hang on, I'll update in a moment I'll hook up an external optical drive (laptop)
[04:17] <Avt3kk> ook ty :)
[04:17] <jamescarr> where does gems usually install stuff to?
[04:17] <Geek_> chrisnoxmas: chances are.. most of them ;p
[04:17] <jamescarr> on ubuntu?

[04:17] <GNine> then again.. i quit wanting to use the puter to play dvds when i got plenty of devices to do that with
[04:18] <marko--> does someone know where xorg is located?
[04:18] <Avt3kk> ty Jack :)
[04:18] <TheViLliN> whats a good site for shell scripts?

[04:19] <nandemonai> Psh beat me to it ;)
[04:19] <nandemonai> So, I guess then I should ask, anyone seeing odd graphics in XFCE compositor with restricted nvidia drivers?
[04:20] <kruck> external DVD drive works, but I'm having trouble opening the damn thing...grr
[04:20] <Macrosoft> hey, is all the text that appears while booting logged somewhere?
[04:20] <reuscel> i'm having trouble.  i was messing around with my panels, and somehow i lost my icon for available wireless networks, and now i don't know how to restore it.  i've tried going through "Add to panel" but i can't find it
[04:20] <Avt3kk> Jack i think putting image back is faster
[04:21] <LuiCal> hello, i have a problem, ubuntu does not recognize my psp, can someone help me
[04:21] <LuiCal> ?
[04:21] <orudie> i'm in alsamixer - does anyone know how to change the Vew from [PLayback]  to [Capture]  ?
[04:21] <xubu> i need some help. my comp crashed, now when i come back one of my ntfs drives wont mount. i get the following errors, http://pastebin.com/m6be6ead5. everything worked fine before i froze 10min ago.
[04:22] <Paddy_EIRE> are there any benefits/drawbacks in using IPv6 and do I need/want it
[04:22] <orudie> GNine, are you still there?
[04:23] <LuiCal> please help me, ubuntu does not recognize my psp

[04:23] <johnstar> does anyone know how to write to a pipe inpython
[04:23] <marko--> it didn't worked
[04:23] <marko--> :o
[04:23] <Paddy_EIRE> flynch: oh, ok
[04:23] <GNine> am around.. but i dont think i can be of much help ... technically
[04:23] <GNine> am a noob myself .. sorry
[04:23] <oompaloompa> xubu: u might get away with mounting it with the force option
[04:23] <Paddy_EIRE> flynch: did I miss something what happened to v5 :)
[04:23] <oompaloompa> xubu sudo mount -f /dev/blahblah
[04:24] <flynch> Paddy_EIRE: LOL I have no idea
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> xubu: have you gone to windows and done what it told you to do?
[04:24] <Macrosoft> where are startup logs stored?
[04:24] <oompaloompa> xubu if it won't then u just have to boot into windows, let it rucn chkdisk, when it is done, reboot into windows, it will mark the filesystem as clean, then it should be ok
[04:24] <marko--> what should i do i have the backup in /Var/backups/xorg i did cp but it didn't worked:(
[04:24] <nandemonai> Macrosoft, /var/log

[04:25] <Kousotu> LuiCal: I will help you shortly
[04:25] <xubu> Jack_Sparrow, oompaloompa: i dont have windows installed, used to, never converted my storage drives from ntfs
[04:25] <GNine> check alsa, and oss with synaptic.. u might find an update that might fix ur sound issues
[04:26] <kpham> hi all, may I have a question regards to harddrive uuid in ubuntu?

[04:26] <m1r> how to lock system user to his /home/user directory so he cant browse out of it in nautilus or terminal?
[04:26] <espi3d> I need help, please
[04:26] <oompaloompa> Jack_Sparrow: will fsck check ntfs?
[04:26] <Jack_Sparrow> xubu: You might look up Hirens CD it has a bunch of tools that might help clear that up...
[04:26] <espi3d> I have a USB slimstar
[04:26] <espi3d> keyboard
[04:26] <oompaloompa> Jack_Sparrow: with ntfsutils installed?
[04:26] <espi3d> it dont work
[04:26] <Paddy_EIRE> m1r: hidding some porn :P
[04:26] <xubu> Jack_Sparrow: ty
[04:26] <m1r> paddy_eire , as always :)
[04:26] <Avt3kk> i used fsck to fix inode errors after using drive image 2002 ahhaa
[04:26] <orudie> kruck, did you have to make any configurations to make it work right after installing ubuntu ?
[04:27] <orudie> kruck, cause i cant get mine to work
[04:27] <Avt3kk> hirens is tyte i use that
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> oompaloompa: I wouldnt think so.. at some point you need to step back and take a serious look at things and the best tools available.
[04:27] <orudie> GNine, what do you have it set to playback in preferences, sound?
[04:27] <kruck> nope, although I did have some crackles with VLC media player, that's been my only problem with it so far
[04:27] <doshiro> how do i make my gnome bar smaller?
[04:27] <flynch> Paddy_EIRE: btw it sometimes improves preformance when you disable ipv6 - on really really cheap low end network equipment they simply ignore ipv6 traffic, so you've got to wait around for ubuntu to figure out that your network isn't ipv6 aware, the it will back down to ipv4.
[04:27] <kruck> it worked fine out of the box for me
[04:27] <m1r> paddy_eire , a PRIVATE collection is really private :P
[04:27] <orudie> GNine, causei have it set to default, tried everything else and still nothing
[04:27] <marko--> how do i rename a file in shell
[04:28] <xero9364> marko--: mv
[04:28] <xero9364> mv filename newfilename
[04:28] <oompaloompa> Jack_Sparrow: right i understand that. . .i just meant as a quick down and dirty fix for my own ntfs volume that won't mount right now because of the same reason. . .and i only need like two things off of it
[04:28] <oompaloompa> Jack_Sparrow: then i'm gonna hose the drive
[04:28] <GNine> everything to autodetect with alsa sound capture
[04:28] <xero9364> Hooray! Gutsy CD just finished burnin'.
[04:28] <Paddy_EIRE> flynch: yeah its blacklisted... was wondering if it would benefit me, I dont think it will now

[04:30] <sauvin> Scenario: ubuntu already installed on /dev/hda1. Problem: /dev/hda1 is too small. Constraint: unwilling to resize partitions.  Can an existing Ubuntu install move itself into another partition?
[04:30] <Kousotu> I have to get n linux first

[04:30] <atoms2> hi, how do i suspend a system from cli?
[04:30] <xero9364> atoms2: suspend

[04:30] <xero9364> doshiro: no pro
[04:30] <xero9364> b
[04:30] <Jack_Sparrow> LuiCal: Does sudo fdisk -l  in a terminal see it....
[04:30] <GNine> linux will create its own partition on install
[04:30] <GNine> i mean.. ubuntu
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> GNine: YEs, just tell it to use the largest free space
[04:31] <xero9364> sauvin: No, but you can just delete that partition and use it all as swap. I lol at the idea but it's worth a shot.
[04:31] <marko--> huh
[04:31] <marko--> x work ahgain
[04:31] <marko--> :D
[04:31] <orudie> GNine, and when you click on Test there, you hear sound playing right away right?
[04:31] <GNine> jack:  that wasnt a question   lol
[04:31] <GNine> u should , orudie
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[04:31] <doshiro> xero9364: is there any premade huge themes eg including icons and font settings ect, i keep looking on gnome-look.org and the themes i keep getting arnt that impressive

[04:32] <ubotu> GNine: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.  If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you".  The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..

[04:32] <orudie> GNine, i hear nothing lol
[04:32] <marko--> can someone help me install nvidia drivers?
[04:32] <GNine> u is shorthand.. i hope u no how 2 read
[04:32] <Geek_> sauvin, i recall there's an option in alternate installer to move data from another partition
[04:32] <atoms2> xero9364, are you sure suspend suspends a sys to ram?
[04:32] <xero9364> marko--: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel
[04:32] <grigora> anyone knows why I get "touch: setting times of /file - permission denied"? when doing as root, don't get any such errors, thanks
[04:32] <Truman_> When I do ifconfig on my eth0 interface, why does it give me 8 ipv6 addresses?
[04:32] <xero9364> marko--: sudo apt-get install module-assistant
[04:33] <Kousotu> grigora: /file is In root
[04:33] <Dhraakellian> okay, I just installed Fedora 7 on my laptop, and it nicely helped me set up LVM
[04:33] <Dhraakellian> however, I'm getting fed up with a couple things
[04:33] <marko--> Xef|Packetloss
[04:33] <marko--> xero9364
[04:33] <grigora> Kousotu: the file is in a mounted share
[04:33] <GNine> orudie.. u got ur device to some intel type alsa mixer there?
[04:33] <Truman_> Dhraakellian: Switch to Ubuntu, all of your problems will be solved
[04:33] <marko--> cannot find packet nvidia-kernel
[04:33] <grigora> Kousotu: mounted as cifs
[04:33] <Dhraakellian> so, my question is as follows: will Ubuntu work with this LVM setup?
[04:33] <xero9364> marko--: I don't know the exact name of the package
[04:34] <xero9364> I'll go check.
[04:34] <sauvin> Moving data is one thing, but you can't just plop an OS into another partition and expect it to work.
[04:34] <grigora> Kousotu: the file is still created, but with that error message
[04:34] <Dhraakellian> Truman_: I am sorely tempted
[04:34] <marko--> ok
[04:34] <Dhraakellian> neither wireless nor hibernation are working for me, and those are two things that I definitely want with that latpop
[04:34] <Truman_> Dhraakellian: You'll probably get new problems in their place, though .. You know what they say about the grass.
[04:34] <Paddy_EIRE> Dhraakellian: fedora ...ewwww
[04:34] <xero9364>  nvidia-kernel-1.0.9631 is the pkg name.

[04:35] <Dhraakellian> Paddy_EIRE: well, I gave Gnome a chance... Why shouldn't I give Fedora a try to see if my grudge against *it* is still justified?
[04:35] <xero9364>  nvidia-kernel-1.0.9631 is the pkg name.

[04:42] <togiodi> xero LOL

[04:50] <mrowww> I'm thinking about installing ubuntu.  My current distro forces me to install a new version every 18 months or so, or I stop receiving security updates.  How often do I need to install a new Ubuntu?
[04:50] <Avt3kk> ok I wait
[04:50] <GNine> one thing i learned bout ubuntu:  its not windows.  u dont get a nice single click undo-everything-i-messed-up deal
[04:50] <Paddy_EIRE> mrowww: ubuntu uses 6 month release cycles
[04:51] <biodeath666> Paddy_EIRE: i have never used automatix or have i ever downloaded it, everything in ubuntu was working stellar b4 i did this
[04:51] <garrettt> can some one help me add the right repo from debuntu so that i can install pigeon
[04:51] <mrowww> Paddy_EIRE, does this mean I MUST format my old installation and restart every 6 months?
[04:51] <xero9364> GNine: Yes, you can. It's called Keep (or anything equivalent to that)
[04:51] <Frogzoo_> !lts
[04:51] <xero9364> mrowww: No.
[04:51] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[04:51] <xero9364> mrowww: You don't format shizzle. It upgrades without such bull
[04:51] <Paddy_EIRE> mrowww: there is no must... if you want to then do so otherwise..
[04:51] <GNine> really.. hmm.. is that some kind of command?
[04:52] <pushedx> microsoft/winzip/office/mac os x/etc 0days for trade/sell, msg pushedx if interested
[04:52] <biodeath666> Paddy_EIRE: the only thing that was wierd is that for the last 5 months when i turn on the computer it would dsay Kubuntu while booting, then gnome/Ubuntu would ocme up, i use gnmome but its wierd that kubuntu would be displayed
[04:52] <xero9364>  GNine: A KDE-based super duper backupper o tron a matic
[04:52] <xero9364> That's what Keep is.
[04:52] <marko> oh my god
[04:52] <biodeath666> Paddy_EIRE: IndyGunFreak you guys have any idea what i can do from the live cd??
[04:52] <marko> i still have trouble with my graphic card:(
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> biodeath666: yes.. reinstall
[04:53] <GNine> ok.. well.. thats still not a one click fix
[04:53] <mrowww> Paddy_EIRE, Okay...  How difficult is it to update from one release to the next?  Is it a simple apt-get?
[04:53] <espi3d> i still have trouble with my keyboard
[04:53] <Avt3kk> Marko dapper drake ubuntu has a safe mode option
[04:53] <xero9364> marko: Try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf with nano (nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[04:53] <Paddy_EIRE> biodeath666: ultimate is not supported here im afraid and they would be the best ppl to ask
[04:53] <Flannel> mrowww: easier.  update-manager takes care of it.  But yeah
[04:53] <xero9364> Find where it says either i810, vesa, or nv
[04:53] <Paddy_EIRE> mrowww: yes it is
[04:53] <xero9364> and change that to nvidia
[04:53] <Frogzoo_> biodeath666: from a live cd you should be able to mount your /home somewhere & backup all your data to cd/usb then reinstall
[04:53] <biodeath666> IndyGunFreak: re-installl ubutnu??? will it keep my settings and pictures and m,edia files, and all the adding of DVD playback and alll my games, and save files, and programs??
[04:53] <Avt3kk> I found a tut for radeon saphire x800 gto :) thats mine
[04:53] <Avt3kk> in dapper
[04:53] <marko> xero9364, will it work 100%?

[04:53] <garrettt> can some one help me add the right repo from debuntu so that i can update Gaim to pigeon
[04:54] <xero9364> Crap. Wrong one
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> biodeath666: no, i hope you have a good backup
[04:54] <biodeath666> Frogzoo_: what do you mean by mount my /home???
[04:54] <marko> i have
[04:54] <marko> ubuntu feisty
[04:54] <xero9364> marko: Yes, unless your card is in a different PCI/AGP/whatever slot that what is defined.
[04:54] <mrowww> Paddy_EIRE, Neat... so even going from edgy to feisty would be one apt-get command?
[04:54] <biodeath666> IndyGunFreak: how do i make a back up right now
[04:54] <atoponce> with gutsy gibbon stable just around the corner, how do i get it setup with 100% Free Software?
[04:54] <mrowww> Paddy_EIRE, be/require
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> you're gnna need sooe type of mass storage, external drive, or something
[04:55] <Paddy_EIRE> mrowww: yes, ubuntu rocks
[04:55] <atoponce> reason i ask, is the 'restricted' repository contains non-free
[04:55] <Paddy_EIRE> :D
[04:55] <mrowww> :)
[04:55] <togiodi> ok im back
[04:55] <biodeath666> IndyGunFreak: u mean i need an external hdd and then i can move data form my hdd via the live cd into the extern hdd???
[04:55] <oompaloompa> ubuntu does rock
[04:55] <buntunu1> ataponce just dont install any proprietary drivers like video or wifi
[04:55] <xtknight> atoponce, just disable restricted :)
[04:55] <Avt3kk> anyone want to radeon x800 for dapper tut?
[04:55] <atoponce> doesn't gutsy support totally Free Software now?
[04:55] <Paddy_EIRE> mrowww: keep away from things like automatix and easyubuntu
[04:55] <marko> xero9364, can we go private ?
[04:55] <xero9364> mrowww: Kill all Microsoft employees/affiliates.
[04:55] <IndyGunFreak> biodeath666: you should be able to.
[04:55] <atoponce> xtknight: well sure, you could do that with any version
[04:56] <buntunu1> lol sure
[04:56] <Paddy_EIRE> mrowww: then your set
[04:56] <lifi_> hi, i got a tv card (pinnacle pctv 310i) and i dont get the sound working... does anyone know how to activate the sound over the pci bus?
[04:56] <xtknight> atoponce, so what's the question/
[04:56] <atoponce> xtknight: i thought there was something different about gutsy
[04:56] <buntunu1> so long as you dont want video or wifi your all good with free software
[04:56] <biodeath666> how can i do that from here right now onto a DVDRW IndyGunFreak??
[04:56] <xtknight> atoponce, hmm well not really.  not as it stands, at least

[04:56] <Avt3kk> why dont you guys make an operating system for mac?
[04:56] <mrowww> Paddy_EIRE, Yeah, I try to stick with the raw commands.  I use CentOS and am wary of yum.  (I use rpm)
[04:56] <xtknight> atoponce, i suppose Shuttleworth's announcement tried to imply that huh
[04:56] <Avt3kk> ubuntu mac<
[04:56] <oompaloompa> mental health institute LMAO
[04:56] <xero9364> Avt3kk: They do.
[04:56] <IndyGunFreak> biodeath666: if you don't have two DVD drives(one for the live CD, one for the blank), i dont think you can
[04:56] <atoponce> xtknight: that's what i'm leaning against
[04:56] <Avt3kk> :O
[04:56] <Paddy_EIRE> Avt3kk: there is a ppc version
[04:56] <xero9364> It's called Dapper (LTS)
[04:57] <atoponce> xtknight: maybe official support from canonical for the 'universe' repo?
[04:57] <biodeath666> and then which ubuntu should i re-install IndyGunFreak?? and can i back up my settings and book marks from firefox, and all that stuff??? and all my Libraries that aloow me to plasy  and Burn DVDs
[04:57] <atoponce> xtknight: or, a different repo altogether, from the traditional 4?
[04:57] <skinnypuppy1334> Is there a good mpg video editor?
[04:57] <garrettt> can some one help me add the right repo from debuntu so that i can update Gaim to pigeon
[04:57] <orudie> is anyone here using the AC97 onboard sound and had problems getting it to work ?
[04:57] <xtknight> atoponce, not sure what's up with that.  i guess he was just saying free drivers can account for a lot more stuff now (new wireless stack=less need for ndiswrapper, nouveau perhaps as a replacement for nvidia, etc)
[04:57] <Paddy_EIRE> biodeath666: you're asking a bit much ;)
[04:58] <atoponce> xtknight: hmmm....
[04:58] <IndyGunFreak> biodeath666: probably not htat stuff, but maybe..... i'd just download the current version, Feisty Fawn 7.04
[04:58] <biodeath666> IndyGunFreak: should i try and remove the repositories form ultimate and then do a sudo apt-get distupgrade or maybe downgrade?
[04:58] <IndyGunFreak> biodeath666: youc an't downgrade.
[04:58] <biodeath666> i like fesity
[04:58] <biodeath666> no downgrade ay

[05:07] <Dhraakellian> can Ubuntu use LVM from the liveCD?

[05:08] <zerokill88> Hola, i moved Ubuntu aside for a bit and am now using PuppyLinux
[05:08] <GNine> maybe ur wastin too much time asking questions...

[05:08] <GNine> do ur research .. then ask

[05:08] <oompaloompa> zerokill88: how is puppy?
[05:08] <xero9364> !puppy
[05:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about puppy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:09] <sauvin> What advantage to Puppy over ubuntu?
[05:09] <Dhraakellian> meh... I'm feeling lazy.  I'll just go the standard partitioning route and make sure I have a root partition larger than 4.7GB this time
[05:09] <naksha> hello folks, I need to run a script when I remove AC power. I cant find the appropriate script to edit/modify can someone help me please?
[05:09] <zues_62> rodyaskiller:  yes i have tryed them the f8 usualy does work but it is not
[05:09] <IndyGunFreak> sauvin: well, puppy is smaller, a lot harder to use, and looks like a 5yr old designed it after his favorite pet
[05:09] <Bikerbob> anyone give me an idea with new distro how to config X from commnad line? Xfree86 is no more right?
[05:09] <naksha> It is so frustrating that I cant find proper documentation for how ubuntu works
[05:09] <naksha> its like poking around in the dark
[05:09] <ldz420> I was informed that I need to rebuild a static library.. can anyone inform me that that means?
[05:10] <zerokill88> oompaloompa eh it seems pretty nice so far, its small and pretty cleen, could probably use GCC and some other tools but i cold alsays download those myself. still trying it out though
[05:10] <atoms2> Bikerbot, /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[05:10] <Mr_Awesome> naksha: thats what she said
[05:10] <ldz420> does it mean that I need to recompile ?
[05:10] <rodyaskiller> zues_62: F8 usually works on that computer?  If not then try F9 or maybe F10?
[05:10] <oompaloompa> zerokill88: hmmm
[05:10] <xero9364> marko: Repeat whatever you said in pvt please.
[05:10] <marko-_-> sorry
[05:10] <Bikerbob> atoms2: I just type xorg.conf and it will start up a command line config prog?
[05:10] <oompaloompa> zerokill88: how large is the base system installed?
[05:10] <naksha> Mr_Awesome: You are banned..
[05:10] <garrettt> IndyGunFreak: hey i really hate to bother you again but i just started up the .deb file and it says "Error: wrong architecture 'amd64' " does this mean i can't install it :/
[05:11] <GNine> bikerbob: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:11] <verb3k_> Hi guys , how can I know how much disk space remaining in my hard drive ?
[05:11] <atoms2> Bikerbob, you can certainly edit xorg.conf in any editor
[05:11] <IndyGunFreak> garrettt: yes... yuou didn' say you were using 64bit.
[05:11] <naksha> Mr_Awesome: 3....2....1...
[05:11] <naksha> just kidding
[05:11] <Flannel> verb3k_: `df` will do it
[05:11] <ToddEDM> hey guys just wondering what free games are good for linux...
[05:11] <ThatLazyGuy> i just installed VMware and windows xp, and it works great. but how do i transfers the files ?
[05:11] <IndyGunFreak> you'll need to download hte source code and compile it for 64bit.

[05:11] <arooni> how do i format my dvdrw
[05:11] <zerokill88> oompaloompa um, i havent installed it yet, for some reason it cant see my partitions...which is strange, um i think its about 90 mb, all in ram and you can take the disc out of the cdrom and use it as a regualr cd rom, everything is in ram,and i believe you can also save your settings to it also
[05:11] <arooni> * BD/DVDRW/-RAM format utility by<EMAIL_ADDRESS>version 7.0.
[05:12] <arooni> * 4.7GB DVD+RW media detected.
[05:12] <arooni> - illegal command-line option for this media.
[05:12] <arooni> - you have the option to re-run dvd+rw-format with:
[05:12] <arooni>   -lead-out  to elicit lead-out relocation for better
[05:12] <ToddEDM> thank you Flannel
[05:12] <arooni>              DVD-ROM compatibility, data is not affected;
[05:12] <arooni>   -force     to enforce new format (not recommended)
[05:12] <arooni>              and wipe the data.
[05:12] <arooni> what does tha tmean
[05:12] <ldz420> !library
[05:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about library - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:12] <oompaloompa> zerokill88: well it's nice that they have a persistence feature, that's always convenient if u travel and want to use a livecd but not use all of your settings
[05:12] <arooni> im usuing gnomebaker

[05:12] <arooni> how do i format my dvdrw disk
[05:12] <oompaloompa> !beer
[05:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about beer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:12] <xero9364> DVD-RAM sounds fun. Burn baby burn (constantly!)
[05:12] <arooni> right but how do i format it
[05:12] <naksha> #ubuntu+1
[05:12] <rodyaskiller> ThatLazyGuy:vmware has a folder you can configure that both OSs can share between
[05:13] <marko-_-> xero9364, do you se me private?
[05:13] <naksha> is that where i should go?
[05:13] <zerokill88> oompaloompa ya it is, i tried to get it on my usb but something isnt right when it boots, it doesnt see the image or something on it
[05:13] <naksha> for gutsy?
[05:13] <Flannel> naksha: yep
[05:13] <naksha> thanks
[05:13] <ThatLazyGuy> rodyaskiller: how can i do that?
[05:13] <oompaloompa> zerokill88: well u could just run off cd from ram, and have persistence feature save to flash drive, couldn't u?
[05:13] <garrettt> IndyGunFreak: thats because i didn't know haha but this means i am stuck with Gaim
[05:13] <xero9364> !u
[05:13] <ubotu> Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.  If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you".  The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..
[05:13] <m0dY> anyone with experience with RAID ?! i wonder if i have hdd's with already data on them, if i want to turn them all into a RAID 0 array, do i have to dd them all and start from scratch?
[05:14] <oompaloompa> zerokill88: at 90 Mb i'd think it would boot pretty damn fast, even off cd. . .
[05:14] <jmt> arch linux ftw
[05:14] <arooni> how do i format this: * 4.7GB DVD+RW media detected.
[05:14] <IndyGunFreak> garrettt: or try to compile it for 64bit...
[05:14] <zerokill88> oompaloompa ya it does
[05:14] <zerokill88> oompaloompa its pretty fast
[05:14] <oompaloompa> zerokill88: that's cool
[05:14] <xero9364> !ya
[05:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ya - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:14] <IndyGunFreak> garrettt: or do what you're probably gonna end up doing anyways, download and install 32bit.
[05:14] <RickX> can someone help with vmware? I have feisty running in vmware under PCLinuxOS, is video acceleration possible?
[05:14] <rodyaskiller> ThatLazyGuy: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-share-folders-with-your-ubuntu-virtual-machine-guest/
[05:15] <zerokill88> oompaloompa ya, you use Ubuntu?
[05:15] <rodyaskiller> ThatLazyGuy: just look at the location of the folder setting
[05:15] <xero9364> I need to go.
[05:15] <garrettt> IndyGunFreak: i just tried both and they both had the same error
[05:16] <xero9364> Sorry Marko-_-
[05:16] <xero9364> Very, very sorry, but I need to sleep.
[05:16] <IndyGunFreak> garrettt: tried both?
[05:16] <oompaloompa> zerokill88: yeah
[05:16] <marko-_-> xero9364,
[05:16] <marko-_-> just 1 minute
[05:16] <marko-_-> pls
[05:16] <marko-_-> oh
[05:16] <marko-_-> cr*p
[05:16] <marko-_-> :(
[05:16] <HHP2K> !enter | marko-_-
[05:16] <ubotu> marko-_-: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:16] <ThatLazyGuy> rodyaskiller: i dont have the Shared Folder option available in VM settings =(
[05:16] <oompaloompa> zerokill88: which also boots pretty quickly
[05:16] <garrettt> IndyGunFreak: yeah the 64 and 32 bit .deb files
[05:16] <IndyGunFreak> where did you download the 64bit deb file?
[05:17] <marko-_-> where can i paste what the for example an error in terminal
[05:17] <sdfasdf> poo
[05:17] <HHP2K> marko-_-: www.pastebin.org
[05:17] <Flannel> !paste | marko-_-
[05:17] <ubotu> marko-_-: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:17] <IndyGunFreak> garrettt: and wha ti actually meant, is what you're gonna do eventually anyways, download the 32bit Feisty, and reinstall ubuntu 32bit... and ditch 64bit
[05:17] <rodyaskiller> ThatLazyGuy: hmmm, maybe you need to update...try and check for updates in the menu
[05:17] <marko-_-> ok
[05:17] <marko-_-> you see this
[05:17] <marko-_-> To enable the driver, run "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable".
[05:17] <marko-_-> i do this in shell but i get
[05:18] <garrettt> IndyGunFreak: oo i see ok well thanks for your time sorry for bothering you with my lack of knowledge
[05:18] <ThatLazyGuy> rodyaskiller: it says no update available, the VMware Server is 1.0.3 build-44356
[05:18] <IndyGunFreak> garrettt: youd idn't bother me at all... its just 64bit is a pain in the rump w/ ubuntu... its really not quite ready yet
[05:18] <marko-_-> http://www.pastebin.org/842
[05:19] <marko-_-> please help me
[05:19] <oompaloompa> does anybody know if persistence feature is fixed on livecd?  last time i checked it was borken
[05:19] <ThatLazyGuy> Rodyaskiller: I followed all the instructions from this website http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-vmware-server-from-canonical-commercial-repository-in-ubuntu-feisty.html
[05:20] <oompaloompa> or know of a better livecd for persistence?
[05:20] <Flannel> marko-_-: You've manually edited your xorg config.  But, no big deal, you can do what that command does manually by editing your xorg.conf, first you should back it up, then edit it and change 'nv' to 'nvidia'
[05:20] <oompaloompa> i need it for work to remote control a solaris 5 sun ultra sparc II
[05:20] <oompaloompa> in a RADAR
[05:21] <wolferine> marko-_-, it explains what to do
[05:21] <Bikerbob> sorry.. someone tell me how to restart the X server from the command line?
[05:21] <Geek_> ThatLazyGuy: the canonical repo's VMware server is buggy, and you need to register for a key anyway, you'd be better off going for the Vmware website 's tarball, and applying the anyany patch before tunning the config script
[05:21] <marko-_-> i don't see any nv
[05:21] <Flannel> marko-_-: pastebin your xorg.conf
[05:21] <bulmer> oompaloompa: what does it mean by persistence? permanent?
[05:21] <wolferine> Bikerbob, startx I believe
[05:21] <marko-_-> Driver		"nv"
[05:21] <marko-_-> oh i see
[05:21] <wolferine> marko-_-, post your xorg.conf
[05:21] <marko-_-> i should just change that to nvidia?
[05:21] <marko-_-> ok
[05:22] <oompaloompa> bulmer: yeah a livecd where u can save your changes. . .packages installed, settings, etc to a flash drive or whatever, so that when uboot from cd, it reads those settings and applies them
[05:22] <rodyaskiller> ThatLazyGuy: If you just want to simply transfer files...you might want to consider just using FTP
[05:22] <rodyaskiller> or winscp for ssh
[05:22] <Flannel> marko-_-: yeah
[05:22] <marko-_-> http://www.pastebin.org/843
[05:22] <marko-_-> here
[05:22] <rodyaskiller> but it isn't an elegant solution
[05:22] <wolferine> marko-_-, whats your setup?
[05:22] <ThatLazyGuy> rodyaskiller: can you please show me how? =(
[05:22] <marko-_-> i don't understand you
[05:22] <fellacious> ok so
[05:23] <wolferine> marko-_-, lspci | grep nvidia
[05:23] <badpenguin86> How can i make a script run at startup?
[05:23] <fellacious> i can't umount /media/nonfaildisk
[05:23] <fellacious> but
[05:23] <wolferine> badpenguin86, look into crontab
[05:23] <badpenguin86> actually, it is a command
[05:23] <fellacious> fuser -m says that no1 is using it
[05:23] <fellacious> so
[05:23] <bulmer> oompaloompa: you may want to look at DSL...damn small linux..a new book on live cd may also have the tutorials on how to do persistence per your definitions
[05:23] <fellacious> whats the command to see what process is using a filesystem?
[05:23] <marko-_-> wolf1e, i don't get nothing back
[05:23] <bulmer> lsof
[05:23] <fellacious> because apparently, fuser -m /media/filesystem isn't it
[05:23] <bulmer> fellacious: lsof
[05:23] <marko-_-> wolferine, even
[05:23] <wolferine> marko-_-, then post your lspci as well
[05:24] <wolferine> just lspci
[05:24] <marko-_-> ok
[05:24] <fellacious> lsof | grep nonfaildisk doesn't list anything either
[05:24] <marko-_-> http://www.pastebin.org/844
[05:24] <marko-_-> wolferine, here
[05:24] <rodyaskiller> ThatLazyGuy: simply dl winscp (type that in google) in vmware, then open it up and login to your ubuntu using the ssh option
[05:24] <oompaloompa> bulmer: thank you, but it seemed seemed to me that DSL persistency was slightly borken also. . .it would keep installations of modules and stuff, but i need it to boot with a specific IP address and hostname, and that wasn't working for some reason
[05:24] <bulmer> fellacious:  i dont know by heart the options to lsof  ..please man lsof
[05:25] <oompaloompa> bulmer: but i'll look into a howto and see if i can get it working, thank you
[05:25] <grm1> hi
[05:25] <rodyaskiller> ThatLazyGuy: make sure that the NAT option is enabled on vmware
[05:25] <wolferine> marko-_-, what are you trying to do exactly?
[05:25] <marko-_-> well i have nvidia but i don't have the drivers

[06:13] <Pelo> jellymaster,  ok , it was worth a shot, did you try cheking the web for an updated version of the driverr ?
[06:13] <jellymaster> hold on i'll check now
[06:13] <phixxor> jellymaster: did you check the ndiswrapper wiki for compatibility?
[06:13] <Pelo> jellymaster,  you might check the forum for info , I think I heard others mention linksys
[06:14] <jellymaster> there was a page on the wifi docs for ubuntu 6.06(I think that was the version)using ndiswrapper for this model(or atleast the same one minus speed booster I think)
