[12:02] <Bartek> but I don't know what to do with them
[12:02] <woland_> dyrne, try lynx
[12:02] <yomm> hilldu : if you have an nvidia card ,you don't to use xgl
[12:02] <AlexC_> lordmaynoth_: no idea sorry
[12:02] <Bartek> Can you help me please?:)
[12:02] <Jowi> woland_, but appart from that you're probably right :)
[12:02] <osotogari> the drive is FAT32

[12:03] <Bartek> actually the source of reference should do

[12:04] <woland_> yomm, do those mount points not give you magor errors?
[12:04] <kevin> can anyone help me
[12:04] <omegacenti> how would you make iwlist constantly update on a signle screen? maybe I haven't looked thouroughly enough through TFM but, it doesnt seem like it does.
[12:04] <leros> When i run the mouse against the side of the screen on windows, the cursor just stops moving when it gets as far as it can go. When Id o the same in Ubuntu, the cursor kind of bounces off the side of the screen a bit. Anybody know how to turn this off?
[12:04] <Slart> Gesus: edit the file /etc/fstab or do it manually "sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1"
[12:05] <yomm> woland_ : no , they mount fine manually , or using mount -a , just not after reboot
[12:05] <Slart> leros: are you using gnome?
[12:05] <kbd> omegacenti: look into gtkwifi
[12:05] <leros> slart, yah
[12:05] <Slart> leros: weird.. never seen it do that
[12:05] <omegacenti> kbd: thanks :)
[12:05] <leros> slart, well im using beryl, but i tried it gnome and the same thing happened

[12:05] <kbd> you'll have to gab it off of sf.net I think
[12:06] <Slart> leros: sure you haven't installed anything else?
[12:06] <kbd> yeah, it's onsf.net
[12:06] <omegacenti> kbd looks like its just like network manager though.
[12:07] <kevin> hello, I am compiling my kernel and I have notices that nearly everything is loaded as a module, will this slow down my system performance at all?
[12:07] <woland_> yomm, grep your logs' i'm suprised smbclient is available so early in the boot process
[12:07] <Gesus> Slart:  mount: mount point /mnt/hda1 does not exist

[12:08] <xelados> Does anyone know how to get rid of the Trash icon and its functions?
[12:08] <woland_> omegacenti, script it, or use watch(1)

[12:10] <yomm> woland_ : so that isnt really the proper way to mount samba shares at boot ?
[12:10] <yomm> woland_ : mind you , those shares do not contain any system files , just docs & media ..
[12:10] <ziadoz> does anyone know if there is a way to undo a terminal command?
[12:11] <woland_> yomm, i wouldn't know - i only mount shares my kernel can handle itself that early in the boot process
[12:11] <ardchoille> ziadoz: Depends on the command. What was it?
[12:11] <ziadoz> well
[12:11] <ziadoz> i slipped an did rm -r /home/user
[12:11] <ziadoz> :\
[12:11] <ardchoille> ziadoz: Oops
[12:11] <kbd> You are screwed ziadoz.
[12:11] <ziadoz> indeed, hillarious ;)
[12:11] <woland_> omegacenti, man watch
[12:12] <ziadoz> i was trying to clear the fucking trash
[12:12] <yomm> woland_ : so I could as well make it a soimple startup script ,instead of using fstab ?
[12:12] <ardchoille> ardchoille: I don't think that is "undoable"
[12:12] <ziadoz> now my user account is screwed
[12:12] <woland_> yomm, bingo, that's what i would do
[12:12] <kbd> ziadoz: Use nautilus for that :)
[12:12] <xelados> That's why I hate the trash.
[12:12] <ziadoz> is there a way i can use the terminal to create a new one
[12:12] <xelados> I wish I could get rid of it
[12:12] <ziadoz> the files in the trash were locked
[12:12] <ziadoz> is there a way i can use the terminal to create a new one
[12:12] <ziadoz> a new user account
[12:12] <woland_> yomm, although i don't run ubuntu - perhaps an enlightened use could help
[12:12] <ziadoz> *
[12:12] <omegacenti> woland_: that is exactly what I was looking for.
[12:12] <xelados> try manpaging "adduser"
[12:12] <chade> Hmm is it good practice to keep your kernel on the latest stable version?
[12:13] <xelados> I don't remember all of the options right off.
[12:13] <kbd> ziadoz: login as root
[12:13] <Chousuke> chade: just follow the ubuntu versions
[12:13] <yomm> woland_ : ok , going to give that a go . Thx ;)
[12:13] <omglazers> Hey does anyone know if I wanted to change from Gnome from KDE in kubuntu, if all I need to get is the ubuntu-desktop enviroment package and it'll grab all the gnome dependencies so I dont have to select them all?
[12:13] <ardchoille> kbd: That is not recommended nor supported
[12:13] <woland_> omegacenti, it's useful, but non-portable
[12:13] <woland_> omegacenti, with solaris/bsd i'd suggest a script
[12:13] <xelados> omglazers: That's the idea, yeah. I switched from GNOME to XFCE today using a similar strategy.
[12:13] <kbd> ardchoille: What is recommended?
[12:13] <woland_> yomm, np
[12:13] <bobbyd> hi
[12:13] <ziadoz> how can i login as root kbd
[12:13] <chade> Chousuke: Think I'm having an issue with EciAdsl because of the standard kernel version in Ubuntu
[12:13] <ardchoille> kbd: use sudo ro do sudo -i
[12:13] <chade> Chousuke:Thinking about updating my kernel to see if that fixes it
[12:13] <Chousuke> chade: Eeeh, USB ADSL?
[12:14] <Kronuz> hey, what should I install to get mp3, divx, wmv and wma support (and other formats)
[12:14] <chade> Yeah
[12:14] <omglazers> xelados: Great. I just wanted to make sure I didnt need to select anything ahead of time and then, whoops, I got gnome with nothing in it including networking :P
[12:14] <Chousuke> I pity you.
[12:14] <xelados> omglazers: If you get any packages that ask to be autoremoved, don't. You'll have to install them again or something.
[12:14] <chade> I know
[12:14] <bobbyd> is there a way to display how much video memory I have at the command-line?
[12:14] <chade> It's terrible
[12:14] <omglazers> xelados: none so far
[12:14] <kbd> ardchoille: And what if he hasn't any users to logi as to exec that?
[12:14] <omglazers> xelados: Didnt like XFCE?
[12:14] <xelados> omglazers: Didn't like GNOME. :)
[12:14] <Chousuke> chade: I fought with one for a week. then I got a real modem
[12:14] <Chousuke> chade: that money was well spent :P
[12:15] <ardchoille> kbd: Well, logging in as root is neither recommended nor supported and we aren't suppoed to suggest it here.
[12:15] <woland_> chade, save yourself a lot of agony by buying a ?25 adsl router
[12:15] <omegacenti> woland_:  that works!
[12:15] <Chousuke> Seriously, I think you'll live a year or two longer if you just get a real ADSL device :)
[12:15] <omegacenti> haha constant update noise filter
[12:15] <mrpoundsign> for a low-end system, which is better, KDE or Gnome?
[12:15] <chade> heh
[12:15] <Chousuke> mrpoundsign: neither.
[12:15] <xelados> mrpoundsign: Neither.
[12:15] <bimberi> kbd: booting to recovery mode gets a root shell
[12:15] <mrpoundsign> or should I go with XFCE?
[12:15] <woland_> omegacenti, :)
[12:15] <xelados> hahaha
[12:15] <omegacenti> now if only I could pipe the noise number to some kind of graph maker.
[12:15] <omegacenti> that would be cool
[12:15] <omglazers> xelados: XFCE = Gnome? I dunno; linux newb here
[12:15] <chade> Damn my graphics drivers are shot, I used xserver-xorg configuration and can't load anything up now
[12:16] <Frogzoo> mrpoundsign: xfce if < 256ram < 500Meg CPU
[12:16] <xelados> omglazers: XFCE uses a few GNOME features here and there, but it's much more lightweight than GNOME and KDE.
[12:16] <kbd> ardchoille: Well, I'm not in staff and I'm not a member of your club. There is nothing going to save him from himself built into sudo.
[12:16] <xelados> My CPU's 2.21GHz and I have a gig of RAM, using XFCE.
[12:16] <xelados> SIlky smooth operation.
[12:16] <kbd> bimberi: see, that is a better idea! thank you
[12:16] <distributed> somebody help?
[12:16] <distributed> ubuntu doens't boot
[12:16] <distributed> i burnt the cd
[12:16] <xelados> distributed: What error messages are you getting?
[12:16] <distributed> i press enter on the normal boot, it stops on the flashing '_"
[12:17] <Frogzoo> xelados: that would run gnome silky smooth too
[12:17] <kbd> distributed: did you try the alternative boot?
[12:17] <ardchoille> kbd: What you do on your machine is your business. However, when in this channel, we are to adhere to the channel rules.
[12:17] <Flannel> distributed: did you check the CD for defects?
[12:17] <woland_> omegacenti, check out rrdtool
[12:17] <distributed> nope
[12:17] <omglazers> xelados: Got it. I  = n00b
[12:17] <BrownFrog> xelandos: With that kind of system, I'd think that KDE and GNOME would be silky smooth too (I'm using GNOME+Beryl right now, very smoothly)
[12:17] <xelados> Frogzoo: Yeah, it ran GNOME okay, but GNOME has a habit of periodic lagging.
[12:17] <n-iCe> hwo can i join to a folder in the terminal ?
[12:17] <n-iCe> cd foldername ?
[12:17] <Flannel> n-iCe: yeah
[12:17] <mrpoundsign> It's a 2ghz machine.  2gm RAM.  but it's a laptop, and generally feels sluggish.
[12:17] <n-iCe> isn't working
[12:17] <Frogzoo> xelados: if that was dapper, edgy is much quicker
[12:17] <n-iCe> torro@torro-desktop:~/Desktop$ ls
[12:17] <n-iCe> C  Documentos  Incomplete  Lexmark  mIRC.desktop  mIRC.lnk  Music
[12:17] <xelados> I'm using Dapper.
[12:17] <xelados> er
[12:17] <xelados> edgy
[12:17] <kbd> ardchoille: okay. Is there a good reason why logging in as root is a bad idea? I am clearly not understanding the logic behind that decision.
[12:18] <Frogzoo> xelados: kk
[12:18] <n-iCe> torro@torro-desktop:~/Desktop$ cd lexmark
[12:18] <n-iCe> bash: cd: lexmark: No existe el fichero  directorio
[12:18] <distributed> kbd should i boot in safe grahpics mode or what?
[12:18] <n-iCe> No existe el fichero  directorio = Doesn't exist file or directory
[12:18] <kbd> distributed: If you haven't trid t already then ye
[12:18] <Flannel> n-iCe: Lexmark isn't the same as lexmark, it's case sens.
[12:18] <xelados> I've considered trying out the DVORAK layout
[12:18] <xelados> but too lazy to change my keyboard's keys
[12:18] <n-iCe> :o
[12:18] <n-iCe> let me check
[12:18] <distributed> kbd btw, will it boot without a mouse, nonworking usb and sound?
[12:18] <Frogzoo> kbd: root has permission to access & write to everything - so mistakes as root can be highly embarassing, also the root account is a target for hackers
[12:19] <n-iCe> what's alien ?
[12:19] <n-iCe> !alien
[12:19] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[12:19] <n-iCe> can i install alien in ubuntu ?
[12:19] <Flannel> n-iCe: What are you trying to install with a rpm?
[12:19] <woland_> or use rpm2tgz
[12:20] <ardchoille> kbd: The root account is locked upon install. That is supported. I have been using Ubuntu on 11 machines (5 servers) since Warty and have never needed to enable the root account. I can't hack into your root account if it's disabled. It's a security enhancement.
[12:20] <n-iCe> in the manual says: alien -t z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm
[12:20] <woland_> and examine/extract like a real man(tm)
[12:20] <n-iCe> is to install my printer
[12:20] <xelados> How do I enable Ctrl+Shift+hexcode or the Compose key?
[12:20] <Flannel> n-iCe: help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[12:20] <ziadoz> i managed to create a new user account, how can i elevate it so i have full access?
[12:20] <n-iCe> :/
[12:20] <xelados> I miss unicode characters
[12:20] <n-iCe> you can't say something like sudo apt-get install alien ?
[12:20] <omegacenti> if ubuntu freeze up, is there any way to get out of it besides waiting indfinately/ turning off computer?
[12:20] <woland_> ardchoille, how is having one user with sudo ALL access any more secure than having a single sudoer user?
[12:21] <n-iCe> pls i'm tired of read
[12:21] <BrownFrog> kbd, archoille: I actually find sudo'ing everything inconvenient when doing multiple things, so I 'sudo su' to root in a terminal, do when I want, then when I'm done (to be safe) promptly log out of the root terminal
[12:21] <techie_> I need to do some voice recording and tried to use the "sound recorder" but tells me my multimedia settings must be setup... How do I do that? Or is there a better program to use for this?
[12:21] <woland_> omegacenti, check tty
[12:21] <Flannel> omegacenti: Depends on what "freeze" means.  try ctrl-alt-f1 to switch to a TTY
[12:21] <Freeman> could someone help me, my wireless works just fine but network manager doesnt display the available connections i had to enter in my ssid into the dialog that comes default with ubuntu
[12:21] <Frogzoo> ziadoz: sudo adduser USERNAME admin
[12:21] <woland_> omegacenti, will be able to tell if it's an X hangup
[12:21] <omegacenti> then start throwing killall's?
[12:21] <kbd> Frogzoo: So how is that different from sudo, regarding the first reason. Regarding the second reason, for normal use, ofcourse it is a bad idea to be root. But for administrative tasks like this, what is the harm?
[12:21] <distributed> blah it doesn't load
[12:21] <Flannel> omegacenti: Uh, essentially ;)
[12:21] <distributed> boots but doens't load =p
[12:21] <ziadoz> Frogzoo, i made the account, but it doesnt seem to have full access to all the apps in System >

[12:22] <ziadoz> System > Admin
[12:22] <omegacenti> what if the kernal is frozen?
[12:22] <Frogzoo> ziadoz: sudo adduser USERNAME admin
[12:22] <techie_> Can anybody recommend a good voice recorder or help me setup the one offered by Ubuntu?
[12:22] <woland_> omegacenti, then tty wont work

[12:23] <woland_> n-iCe, check $? and compare it to RETURN VALUES

[12:24] <GionnyBoss> I installed Ubuntu Edgy on an old computer with Sound Blaster 16. Audio doesn't work, looks like Ubuntu didn't find the sound card. Can anybody help me, please?
[12:24] <yomm> ok i'll check that out !
[12:24] <chade> how do I restart my PC from the terminal line?
[12:24] <bimberi> chade: sudo reboot
[12:24] <ardchoille> chade: sudo shutdown -r now
[12:24] <chade> need to check my monitor refresh rate etc
[12:24] <chade> Thanks
[12:24] <woland_> yomm, or /etc/init.d/ not sure on ubuntu "geography"
[12:24] <jaldrich> sudo  reboot
[12:24] <GionnyBoss> chade, sudo shutdown -r now
[12:24] <kbd> mrpoundsign: Xorg.log is always the newest log
[12:25] <woland_> GionnyBoss, or reboot(1) ;)
[12:25] <yomm> woland ; yes ,was checking that one too :)
[12:25] <jaldrich> what file or lib do i need to listen to aac files ?
[12:25] <GionnyBoss> Does anyone have an idea on how can I make a Sound Blaster 16 work under Ubuntu Edgy? I saw on forums people speaking about 'sb' module but I don't know where to find it.
[12:25] <theblue> Hi all.
[12:25] <mrpoundsign> what does screen do as a service?
[12:25] <Freeman> could someone help me, my wireless works just fine but network manager doesnt display the available connections i had to enter in my ssid into the dialog that comes default with ubuntu?
[12:25] <reap> i have AMD X2 CPU, 1GB Corsair XMS, nV 7800GT, nF4 ultra chipset system...tried AMD64, AMD64 alternate, i386 installations all with same problem
[12:25] <kbd> mrpoundsign: I meant Xorg.0.log
[12:25] <reap> corrupted graphics
[12:26] <theblue> I'm trying to copy a DVD for personal use, but it apparently has CSS on it, can I bypass this?
[12:26] <reap> any ideas?
[12:26] <kbd> or whatever, they are all in /var/log
[12:26] <jaldrich> would libnavdvd4
[12:26] <woland_> Freeman, try typing sudo iwlist <interface> scan
[12:26] <jaldrich> work
[12:26] <BrownFrog> reap: wow, almost the same configuration as me
[12:26] <eyecue> Can I get a confirmation that in order to reset a root password, I need to boot into single user mode and run a `passwd root ? Any specific URL's outlining the procedure?
[12:26] <bimberi> GionnyBoss: try a 'sudo modprobe sb'.  If it works, add 'sb' to /etc/modules to make it stick.
[12:26] <theblue> I find this tremendously irritating, since I own the DVD.

[12:26] <Gesus> how can i backup my fstab before i edit it?
[12:26] <woland_> eyecue, do you have sudo access to root?
[12:26] <Flannel> ziadoz: yep.  Just select it from the grub menu
[12:26] <GionnyBoss> bimberi, thanks
[12:26] <BrownFrog> reap: I find, with almost *all* distributions (except for Ubuntu Feisty), the open-source nv drivers just don't work
[12:26] <eyecue> I have su yes.
[12:26] <Freeman> woland_,  it lists the available aps
[12:27] <bimberi> Gesus: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
[12:27] <ziadoz> i did adduser username admin
[12:27] <eyecue> well, user in is group whatever
[12:27] <Freeman> i already knew how to do that
[12:27] <woland_> Freeman, is that not what you wanted>
[12:27] <GionnyBoss> bimberi, actually I feel stupid... I didn't check if there was a module already installed before asking here! Thanks for the tip :P
[12:27] <ziadoz> does that now have proper priveleges?
[12:27] <bimberi> GionnyBoss: np :)
[12:27] <reap> BrownFrog: the only things that i guess isnt run of the mill is i have a Creative Labs X-Fi platinum...
[12:27] <BrownFrog> reap: so I usually edit my /etc/X11/xorg.conf (from another distro) to use the vesa drivers instead, then install the proprietary nvidia drivers
[12:27] <Gesus> ty
[12:27] <kbd> Is shift+backspace some kind of hotkey for "PISSOFFKBD!" in XOrg or Xgl?
[12:27] <Freeman> the network manager app doesnt display the drop down menu with aps like it should was my problem
[12:27] <eyecue> woland_; i do indeed
[12:27] <scuderia> hi, i have ubuntu but i dont have internet on my pc, so i cant install the networkmanager package, is there a way to download it?
[12:27] <bimberi> ziadoz: try it and see ;)
[12:27] <eyecue> or do you mean NOPASS ?
[12:27] <BrownFrog> reap: Yeah, I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS instead, but that really shouldn't matter
[12:27] <woland_> eyecue, then sudo -s
[12:27] <woland_> eyecue, and passwd
[12:28] <reap> BrownFrog: ok, ill have to give that a go...thanks
[12:28] <bimberi> ziadoz: 'sudo ls' (for example)
[12:28] <ziadoz> ahh
[12:28] <ziadoz> it works
[12:28] <BrownFrog> reap: good luck :)
[12:28] <ziadoz> now my sound card is silent
[12:28] <ziadoz> awesome
[12:28] <pedrovox> join #ubuntu-marketing
[12:28] <distributed> comeon ubuntu
[12:28] <distributed> why doens't it load =[
[12:28] <distributed> !!!
[12:28] <bimberi> ziadoz: it's rare to see someone in here happy about a silent soundcard ;)
[12:29] <kbd> ziadoz: make sure you belong to the group that owns the soundcard
[12:29] <woland_> bimberi, depends on the playlist :)
[12:29] <ziadoz> how do i know which group owns the soundcard?
[12:29] <bimberi> woland_: lol
[12:29] <eyecue> woland_; look what i get for securing sudoers ;)
[12:29] <woland_> ziadoz, ls -l /dev/soundcard
[12:29] <GionnyBoss> bimberi, it works! thanks a lot!
[12:29] <RedWolf-> make your user a wheel user
[12:29] <GionnyBoss> :)
[12:29] <ziadoz> bah, i keep getting an error now
[12:29] <Kronuz> hey, for HTML and CSS development, what's a good editor/IDE?
[12:29] <woland_> ziadoz, replace soundcard with your device
[12:29] <bimberi> GionnyBoss: cool! :)
[12:29] <reap> BrownFrog: fiesty = 6.06??
[12:29] <Kronuz> same for PHP, Perl and C/C++
[12:29] <eyecue> woland_; next best thing after sudo?
[12:30] <woland_> eyecue, what did you restrict sudo access to?
[12:30] <Kronuz> (I have no idea in Linux what to use... I'd prefer graphical tools)
[12:30] <kbd> ziadoz: you can see who belongs to all of the groups by 'less /etc/group'
[12:30] <ziadoz> failed to to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root :|
[12:30] <eyecue> i just removed the group wheel (or whatever the root group is in ubuntu) NOPASS line
[12:30] <chade> Ahhh seems like my graphics card doesn't like Linux very much and doesn't work with the standard ati graphics drivers
[12:30] <chade> Need to use vesa
[12:30] <eyecue> ive got each user locked down to single command allias, on localhost
[12:30] <woland_> eyecue, single usermode or boot a livecd, mount your partitions, chroot to the / mount point and passwd
[12:30] <kbd> eyecue: Why did you do that?
[12:31] <eyecue> Because its a server? and i prefer good perms :)
[12:31] <eyecue> Anyway, why it was done is irrelevant, someone lost the root, and i dont have a record, but i dont have console
[12:31] <Kronuz> also, where are the packages put when they're downloaded by Synaptic?
[12:31] <woland_> eyecue, boot single user and passwd
[12:31] <RedWolf-> anyone have any idea how how to setup dual monitors on edgy?
[12:31] <Kronuz> (in case I need to reinstall everything right away and to avoid downloading stuff again)
[12:31] <eyecue> woland_ do you have the specifics for mounting the required fs's, this is my first day on ubuntu.
[12:32] <eyecue> can i mount -a ?
[12:32] <woland_> eyecue, from a livecd?
[12:32] <eyecue> for all fs's in fstab
[12:32] <RedWolf-> eyecue, it's just like most *nix
[12:32] <r4nge> need some help with crontab...  i have a script that when i run in command line works fine, when i execute that script through crontab it wont work unless the commands i have inside use "echo", the script i'm executing, execute another script inside it
[12:32] <kbd> eyecue: interesting concept... I know there was all kind of hell when a FreeBSD install of mine orphaned wheel from the get-go...
[12:32] <woland_> eyecue, no, the livecd wont respect the unmounted fstab
[12:32] <eyecue> roger, woland_, no ill reboot her into su
[12:32] <woland_> eyecue, fdisk -l
[12:32] <Gesus> now that i've edit my fstab file.. do i restart or reload it or something?
[12:32] <woland_> eyecue, then mount whats relevent
[12:32] <eyecue> kbd; never seen that happen, mind you, i do barebones installs and config post-install ;)
[12:32] <r4nge> is there some sort of limitation that's causing it not to work in crontab
[12:32] <ziadoz> is there a command to remove users in ubuntu?
[12:32] <tunganet> is envy the best way to install a video card on ubuntu?
[12:32] <woland_> Gesus, whatchanges did you make?
[12:33] <woland_> ziadoz, userdel
[12:33] <woland_> tunganet, nah, vim
[12:33] <kbd> eyecue: never saw it before and never seen it since. it was the closest thing to paranormal activity I have ever experienced :P
[12:33] <tunganet> woland_:  vim?
[12:33] <eyecue> very bizzare
[12:33] <eyecue> will mount -a mount fs's rw ?
[12:33] <woland_> tunganet, yeah - edit your xorg.conf with it
[12:34] <Gesus> woland_: I did:
[12:34] <Gesus> /dev/hda3	/media/hda3	ext3	rw,user,auto,exec,sync	0	0
[12:34] <Gesus> /dev/sda1	/media/hda3	ntfs	rw,user,auto,exec,sync	0	0

[12:34] <woland_> tunganet, which driver?
[12:34] <opetznick_> how i can exclude multiple patterns with rsync --exclude?
[12:34] <Ktron> Hey everyone... look for suggestions to deal with a problem with my (clean) ubuntu 6.10 install-- Whenever I logout/restart/shutdown from X, the screens go black and I never get video back, system acts hung
[12:34] <eyecue> multiple --exclude args.
[12:34] <woland_> opetznick_, correctamundo
[12:34] <tunganet> woland_: what exactly do u mean lol, how do i check?
[12:34] <RedWolf-> Ktron, edit your Xorg.conf
[12:35] <mistyday> i need some help with my server? im really new to using this system
[12:35] <woland_> tunganet, i'd suggest finding a howto
[12:35] <soweto76> Kronuz, ls /var/cache/apt/archives/
[12:35] <tunganet> woland_: howto on "vim"?
[12:35] <opetznick_> eyecue: you mean rsync --exclude bla --exclude bla1 ?
[12:35] <eyecue> correct
[12:35] <woland_> tunganet, no, on your problem
[12:35] <Gesus> ok i am going to restart and see what happens i hope those settings are ok
[12:35] <opetznick_> eyecue: thanks!
[12:35] <eyecue> np
[12:36] <woland_> opetznick_, yeah, fucking try it - learn from your mistakes

[12:36] <ziadoz> bah
[12:36] <RedWolf-> Did anyone have any suggestions on how to setup dual monitor interface with Ubuntu? Gnome is the GUI
[12:36] <woland_> Kronuz, are the the reos enabled?
[12:37] <shatrat> !universe | kronuz
[12:37] <ubotu> kronuz: 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
[12:37] <opetznick_> easy woland_
[12:37] <ziadoz> how can i create a new user account in the recovery console, with full priveleges, or enable root? anyone?
[12:37] <Kronuz> I have the universe selected
[12:37] <woland_> ziadoz, useradd
[12:37] <woland_> ziadoz, or passwd root
[12:37] <Kronuz> thanks soweto76
[12:38] <Ktron> RedWolf-: edit it how? X starts up fine, I can log in initially fine, I'm running it now fine, it only happens when I try to logout or equivalent
[12:38] <ziadoz> can i enable the root account from here, so i can login to it from the desktop?
[12:38] <Kronuz> woland_, what reos?
[12:38] <Ktron> RedWolf-: lol, I even have dual monitors setup
[12:38] <woland_> ziadoz, yeah - by assigning it a password
[12:38] <SoulChild> Hey @ all: I need HELP with /etc/fstab ... i have a Fat partition but can' delete files as standart user ,... what must i do ?
[12:39] <woland_> Kronuz, read what uboto said
[12:39] <RedWolf-> Ktron, I misread your statement. I thought it was always black
[12:39] <Kronuz> woland_, the repositories? yes they are
[12:39] <SoulChild> i want all rights on my fat partition , what mus be written in fstab ?
[12:39] <fiveiron> anyone running ubuntu server edition with an 800x600 console?  do i need to install something to use framebuffer?
[12:39] <woland_> SoulChild, besides rw?
[12:39] <ziadoz> ok, so i gave it a password, now when i boot out of the console i can login to it at the desktop?
[12:39] <woland_> fiveiron, why is framebuffer important on a server?
[12:39] <Ktron> My new Edgy ubuntu seems to hang whenever I logout of X, any suggestions?
[12:39] <SoulChild> woland_: than i can only accrs as root
[12:39] <fiveiron> woland_, monitoring logs with long lines
[12:39] <woland_> ziadoz, indeed you can ;)
[12:40] <distributed> can somebodhy help me?
[12:40] <MTecknology> How come I can't put VMware Server into full screen?
[12:40] <woland_> SoulChild, chmod the files
[12:40] <distributed> with installing ubuntu?
[12:40] <pikeshouse88> distributed: ask your question
[12:40] <woland_> MTecknology, click the fullscreen button ?
[12:40] <distributed> pikeshouse88 i boot the cd, press enter and it just hangs on the _
[12:40] <distributed> pikeshouse88 how would i overcome this and install?
[12:40] <SoulChild> woland_: but i want the whole entire disk ,... must i chmod /media/hda3 (the folder where it s mounted ) ???
[12:40] <woland_> distributed, check the boot options
[12:41] <woland_> distributed, perhaps disable some options like acpi
[12:41] <MTecknology> woland_, Unable to find an appropriate host video mode.
[12:41] <MTecknology> Adding the guest mode to the 'display' subsection of the 'screen' section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config and restarting X is likely to help.
[12:41] <MTecknology> Failed to switch to full screen SVGA mode.
[12:41] <omglazers> xelados: Hey I wanted to ask a question since you've done it; if I install another desktop enviroment, can I uninstall the other one to save space or is that not recommended?
[12:41] <distributed> woland_ what should i look for? (F6 i'd assume)
[12:41] <pikeshouse88> distributed: have you tried any alternative boot options?
[12:41] <distributed> pikeshouse88 yeah i stried the second boot option (vga thing)
[12:41] <xelados> omglazers:  Yeah, you can do that.
[12:41] <pikeshouse88> well there are much more than just that
[12:41] <woland_> SoulChild, yeah - chmod the mountpoint recursively
[12:41] <omglazers> xelados: Great :) Thank you
[12:41] <mrpoundsign> kbd: ok, I am in Xgl now, and if I load "Billards-GL", then it suddenly has some corruption, and the background windows do not update until I close it.
[12:41] <hilldu> Is possible to mount a ntfs partition that is on the same phisical drive as my linux partition?
[12:41] <distributed> pikeshouse88 where?
[12:42] <pikeshouse88> F keys
[12:42] <Kronuz> woland_, is that the right name? "Ubuntu restricted extras"
[12:42] <woland_> distributed, yes, peruse whatever boot options are available
[12:42] <distributed> pikeshouse88 there's only f1 - f6
[12:42] <xoba> hmm
[12:42] <woland_> Kronuz, sounds right
[12:42] <xoba> im using xchat and i can't seem to get it to choin multiple channels on connect
[12:42] <SoulChild> woland_: what is the chmod number for whole read and write acces for all users ?
[12:42] <Flannel> Kronuz: Just restricted, not extras.
[12:42] <xoba> *join
[12:42] <Kronuz> woland_, I'm using Edgy but it's not there (Universe is selected)
[12:42] <woland_> SoulChild, 0666
[12:42] <ziadoz> woland_, is says administrator cannot login from this screen on the login
[12:42] <tunganet> Okay, whenever i run warcraft, and i go to terminal to type nvidia-settings and look at my refresh rate, its set to 43(interlaced).  How do i make it so it will stay at 60-80 without going back to 43(interlaced)?
[12:43] <pikeshouse88> distributed: is this a new, old computer?
[12:43] <pikeshouse88> check if its compatible https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[12:43] <woland_> ziadoz, which console?
[12:43] <distributed> pikeshouse88 it's an emachines -- 2GHz 256 ram
[12:43] <Kronuz> Flannel, not there :(
[12:43] <ziadoz> im not in the console, at the login screen
[12:43] <pikeshouse88> ya should worl

[12:43] <Kronuz> or is it linux-restricted?
[12:43] <Kronuz> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[12:43] <Kronuz> Flannel, check that link
[12:43] <kbd> mrpoundsign: good, open gnome-terminal and less /var/log/Xorg.0.log - look for anything that mentions Gl or GL or gl
[12:44] <woland_> ziadoz, check securetty(5)
[12:44] <Kronuz> Flannel, it says I can instal Ubuntu restricted extras
[12:44] <soweto76> xoba, Xchat -> Network -> Edit  Server
[12:44] <Ferret> SoulChild: You probably want something like umask=0,fmask=111
[12:44] <ziadoz> how? :|
[12:44] <kbd> mrpoundsign: I have a suspicion it maybe your driver.
[12:44] <SoulChild> Ferret: what does this do ?
[12:44] <Flannel> Kronuz: are you on Feisty?
[12:44] <fiveiron> has anyone messed with the framebuffer?  i'm wanting to change my console reslolution
[12:44] <Ferret> SoulChild: Set all files to 666 and directories to 777, hopefully
[12:44] <Kronuz> Feisty? o_O?
[12:44] <Flannel> Kronuz: What version of ubuntu are you using?
[12:45] <linxeh> anyone here use Skype on Ubuntu? I can chat ok on it, but the ringing sound is really crackly - is that right ?
[12:45] <Kronuz> Edgy
[12:45] <Kronuz> I'm using Edgy
[12:45] <ziadoz> is there a way i can remove a group in the terminal in ubuntu?
[12:45] <Kronuz> 6.10
[12:45] <LaserJock> hi everybody, I need somebody running edgy to test a edgy-proposed package. anybody up for it?
[12:45] <SoulChild> Ferret: should i write this in fstab ?
[12:45] <SoulChild> umask=0,fmask=111
[12:45] <woland_> ziadoz, rmgroup
[12:45] <Flannel> Kronuz: that's 6.10, You want to use the correct instructions ;)  The "restricted extras" thing is for Feisty
[12:45] <linxeh> ziadoz:  or groupdel I guess
[12:45] <pikeshouse88> distributed: play with the F6 options
[12:45] <ziadoz> ok
[12:45] <ubuntu_rich> is there an easy way to watch a .iso
[12:45] <Ferret> SoulChild: that should work, try it.
[12:45] <Kronuz> oh :P
[12:45] <ziadoz> i deleted the group
[12:45] <ziadoz> created a new user account
[12:45] <ziadoz> using adduser
[12:45] <Flannel> Kronuz: you need to add the multiverse repository
[12:45] <Flannel> !iso | ubuntu_rich
[12:45] <ubotu> ubuntu_rich: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[12:45] <ziadoz> i just need to make it admin
[12:45] <ziadoz> how can i do that?
[12:46] <mrpoundsign> kbd: would I want to look at Xorg.1.log, since it's display :1 ?
[12:46] <pikeshouse88> distributed: notably, disable USB and sound, and mouse
[12:46] <ubuntu_rich> awesome :) cheers
[12:46] <skatorgator> howdy
[12:46] <Kronuz> Flannel, I already added all the repositories in the list :P
[12:46] <dking> damn....
[12:46] <distributed> pikeshouse88 how?
[12:46] <dking> 1000 people
[12:46] <dking> pretty intense
[12:46] <skatorgator> how's everyone doing?
[12:46] <kbd> mrpoundsign: no, the numbers are just for dating purposes. like naming a cat "Snowball II"
[12:46] <Flannel> Kronuz: Multiverse might not be on the list.  What package are you having trouble finding?
[12:47] <dking> ok boyos what I wanna know here is
[12:47] <dking> dapper or edgy
[12:47] <skatorgator> helloo???
[12:47] <Nitro> What packages do I need to compile most sources ?
[12:47] <Kronuz> Flannel, I want add support for wmv, divx, mp3, wmv, wma, mpeg2, etc.
[12:47] <SoulChild> Ferret: now i can delete files but not paste them ...
[12:47] <Kronuz> and I found that RestrictedFormats howto... but it's for the wrong Ubuntu version :(
[12:47] <skatorgator> how do I get my floppy drive to drive?
[12:48] <Flannel> Kronuz: No, that howto includes all the versions, you just need to read the right on
[12:48] <distributed> =[
[12:48] <Ferret> SoulChild: use ls -l to look at the permissions of some file on the FAT partition, and some directory
[12:48] <LaserJock> anybody willing to do a really quick test of an Edgy update package?
[12:48] <Ferret> SoulChild: They should be -rw-rw-rw- and drwxrwxrwx respectively
[12:48] <woland_> ziadoz, you had the option to add the user to an admin group with useradd
[12:48] <Kronuz> Flannel, ... that's what I just realized  sorry :P
[12:48] <mrpoundsign> kbd: should I have disables AIGLX ?
[12:49] <woland_> ziadoz, now use chgrp
[12:49] <skatorgator> is there anybody out there?
[12:49] <ziadoz> i got my account working
[12:49] <Ferret> !hi > skatorgator
[12:49] <ziadoz> just no access to my sound card now
[12:49] <woland_> ziadoz, check vigr for audio references
[12:49] <skatorgator> what the gook are ya all doing, geeks?
[12:49] <Slart> skatorgator: your floppy drive doesn't drive? I might need some more explanation for this..
[12:50] <woland_> ziadoz, and add your user to that group
[12:50] <skatorgator> hey ferret
[12:50] <Slart> skatorgator: and all of a sudden I don't feel like helping you...
[12:50] <marx2k> My monitor doesnt monitor
[12:50] <kbd> mrpoundsign: Yes!
[12:50] <skatorgator> 'sup?
[12:50] <NDPTAL85> Why email client do you guys prefer? I'm trying to choose between Evolution and Thunderbird.
[12:50] <kbd> mrpoundsign: ATI does not support AIGLX yet.
[12:50] <kbd> mrpoundsign:  do you know how to do this?
[12:50] <hanbush> hi
[12:50] <Slart> NDPTAL85: Thunderbird at the moment
[12:50] <hanbush> i need some help
[12:50] <NDPTAL85> Bah I meant "Which"
[12:50] <mrpoundsign> kbd: well, it claims it was unable to initialize it anyway, so it reverted to s/w rendering.  hah
[12:50] <hanbush> i cant get my ubuntu setup back
[12:50] <tunganet> Okay, whenever i run warcraft, and i go to terminal to type nvidia-settings and look at my refresh rate, its set to 43(interlaced).  How do i make it so it will stay at 60-80 without going back to 43(interlaced)?
[12:51] <Ferret> !build-essential > Nitro
[12:51] <hanbush> i logged off
[12:51] <Kronuz> Flannel, I finally made my dmraid work but I installed Ubuntu in a spare drive... now I want to move everything to my RAID, what's the easiest way to do it?
[12:51] <NDPTAL85> Slart: Have you tried Evolution?
[12:51] <hanbush> and the resolution changed, so my monitor cant handle it, somebody please help me
[12:51] <mrpoundsign> kbd: the fglrx driver doesn't support aiglx?
[12:51] <Slart> NDPTAL85: but that's because I used it when I was using windows.. but it's nice to have a client I know I can use even on a windows machine
[12:51] <kbd> mrpoundsign: yeah, it sux :/
[12:51] <Nitro> Ferret: I already got it, but I still can't compile xchat 2.8
[12:51] <ziadoz> all i see in there related to audio is audio:z:29
[12:51] <kbd> mrpoundsign: disable composite too.
[12:51] <mrpoundsign> kbd: oh, I think this was from when I was using the radeon driver.
[12:51] <Slart> NDPTAL85: I've used evolution briefly.. really just before I installed thunderbird
[12:51] <Flannel> Kronuz: just normal copying?  Or, tar/gz up the stuff, then expand them to their drives
[12:51] <Kronuz> Flannel, I suppose I can just create a partition for Ubuntu, copy all the files there and reboot
[12:51] <Ferret> tunganet: I think you need to make changes to xorg.conf to do that; although maybe all you need to do is add nvidia-settings -l $HOME/.nvidia-settings-rc in your ~/.xinitrc
[12:52] <Kronuz> Flannel, yeah, but what about the booting stuff?
[12:52] <kbd> mrpoundsign: I have both of those disabled and I paste to a pastebin if you like
[12:52] <mrpoundsign> kbd: yeah, so I had to switch to the Xgl driver because the radeon driver didn't support the docking station attached monitor.
[12:52] <Kronuz> and I'm not sure what partitions Ubuntu creates
[12:52] <Ferret> tunganet: I'm not sure that program knows how to change the res once X has started.  If you're confident making changes to xorg.conf I can tell you what to put...
[12:52] <hanbush> somebody please help me, im locked out of my comp!
[12:52] <Ferret> Nitro: Ahh, in that case, you might like this...
[12:52] <mrpoundsign> kbd: you using a Dell D610 lappy?
[12:52] <Ferret> !build-dep > Nitro
[12:52] <derek_> is there a way to get some information about hwats going on durring boot like f2 normally does durring boot. because my laptop isnt booting
[12:53] <kbd> nah, HP dv5000
[12:53] <Flannel> Kronuz: if you move /boot, you'll need to reinstall grub to the MBR with the new location
[12:53] <Nitro> !build-dep Nitro
[12:53] <SoulChild> Ferret: i got it, i had to set the uid in fstab to mine ,... now everything works fine.... but how do i set the chmod to:dr-xr-xr-x
[12:53] <derek_> im on a fresh install it booted 3 times fine
[12:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about build-dep nitro - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:53] <Slart> hanbush: forgot your password?
[12:53] <chade> ok if I have a file called check.sh and I want to run it from the command line how do I do it?
[12:53] <derek_> nwo it doesnt work
[12:53] <Ferret> o.O
[12:53] <Nitro> apt it?
[12:53] <mrpoundsign> kbd: must be nice.  :P  I can figure it out, I think it's just commenting out the options.
 build-dep is a handy APT tool that will try to automatically install build (compile) dependencies for you. In the terminal: sudo apt-get build-dep package
[12:53] <distributed> screw this, i'm instlaling freebsd :D
[12:53] <lordmaynoth_> Does anyone if these error messages are harmless?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9004/
[12:53] <Slart> chade: sh check.sh should work
[12:53] <kbd> mrpoundsign: If you know how toget TV out working I'd love to hear about that
[12:53] <Ferret> I missed the >
[12:53] <chade> thanks
[12:53] <Ferret> ;.;
[12:53] <Kronuz> Flannel, I guess it's not a task for newbies
[12:53] <hilldu> Is possible to mount a ntfs partition that is on the same phisical drive as my linux partition?
[12:53] <hanbush> slart, no the resolution changed spontaneously, and my monitor cant handle the new one, so i cant do anything
[12:53] <kbd> mrpoundsign: nah you have tell it to disable them, it's short I can msg to you
[12:53] <Ferret> No, I didn't, you did ;p
[12:53] <HymnToLife> hilldu, yes
[12:54] <mrpoundsign> kbd: sure
[12:54] <dmb062082> how do i turn of firestarter?
[12:54] <tunganet> Ferret:  okay, so what do i do? =[
[12:54] <chade> Ok when I tried to run it
[12:54] <Slart> hanbush: ok, press ctrl+alt+f1.. you should get a login prompt
[12:54] <Ferret> hilldu: Sure, is that not working?  Don't see why it would make a difference
[12:54] <mrpoundsign> kbd: I already have Composite disabled (Option ser to "0"
[12:54] <mrpoundsign> )
[12:54] <hanbush> no, the machine works, but the rez is changed
[12:54] <chade> It gave me the message you are either not running this script from the console, or simply do not have console ownership
[12:54] <hanbush> is the a command to change the default rez
[12:54] <derek_> its just freezing during boot, i just switched from gentoo and i am pretty disappointed
[12:54] <Nitro> Ferret: thanks
[12:54] <hilldu> Well when i do the command to show all drives i cant see the one i want to mount
[12:55] <Slart> hanbush: you can always do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:55] <kbd> mrpoundsign: yeah... wish composite worked
[12:55] <hanbush> what does that do?
[12:55] <tunganet> Ferret: i have to restart my xorg, brb.
[12:55] <dmb062082> how do i ditch the firewall?
[12:55] <Slart> hanbush: not sure about the exact spelling of that last thing
[12:55] <mrpoundsign> kbd: what is composite?
[12:55] <Slart> hanbush it lets you configure your X11 settings.. resolution etc
[12:55] <kbd> I could really use xtransset sometimes
[12:55] <hanbush> slart: i just installed ubuntu yesterday, im a unix supernoob
[12:55] <Flannel> !grub | Kronuz, first link.  It's no big deal at all
[12:55] <Ferret> tunganet: You need a line in your "Screen" Section (but not in the "Display" SubSection(s)) like this: Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024_75; 1280x1024; 1024x768_75; 1024x768; ... "
[12:55] <ubotu> Kronuz, first link.  It's no big deal at all: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[12:56] <Ferret> Damn, he left.
[12:56] <chade> me too hanbush, it's driving me crazy but I'm determined to learn how to do it
[12:56] <SoulChild> hey how can i copy chmod attributes from a folder to an other ???
[12:56] <kbd> mrpoundsign: basically it takes advantage of XOrg's ability to use alpha transparency
[12:56] <hanbush> slart: so what would be the command to change it to 1280x1024 @ 60hz
[12:56] <Slart> hanbush: it's the configuring menu that you run the first time .. try it.. it will backup files and ask you nice questions like where you live and such
[12:56] <kbd> mrpoundsign: it allows you to do shadows without beryl or compiz
[12:56] <Ferret> hilldu: Which command is that?
[12:56] <Kronuz> Flannel, but how many partitions are there in an Ubuntu's install?
[12:56] <Slart> hanbush: you go through it all and somewhere along the way it will ask you about resolutions
[12:56] <kbd> mrpoundsign: and to set transparency for windows too
[12:56] <Kronuz> boot, root, usr, what else?
[12:57] <hilldu> i cant remember
[12:57] <hilldu> hold on
[12:57] <Ferret> hilldu: You probably want /sbin/fdisk -l or df -h
[12:57] <chade> Anyone have any experience installing Ati Radeon Mobility x1400 drivers to Ubuntu?
[12:57] <mrpoundsign> kbd: oh, interesting.  well, I found the FAQ on disabling those, so I am going to re-start my WM now.  bbiab.  :)
[12:57] <hanbush> slart: alright, so i run that from reco mode?
[12:57] <hanbush> slart: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[12:57] <Slart> hanbush: sure.. that works..
[12:57] <Slart> hanbush: yes.. that looks right
[12:57] <Kronuz> Ferret, thanks ;)
[12:58] <Slart> chade: hmm.. what is the script doing? anything special?
[12:58] <Ferret> Kronuz: You mean Flannel...
[12:58] <hanbush> slart: thanks a ton, ill brb in a sec
[12:58] <Nitro> Ferret: I still get the "pixmaps.c:103: error"
[12:58] <Kronuz> Ferret, well, you showed me the command to view the partitions :P
[12:58] <Slart> chade: you might have to run it with a sudo in front.. like "sudo sh check.sh" if you want it to run with administrator priveleges
[12:58] <Ferret> Nitro: Can you pastebin the error and as much context as you can?
[12:58] <Kronuz> (by chance)
[12:58] <soweto76> kbd, composite worked on my ubuntu 6.10 with xfce4
[12:58] <Nitro> Ferret: aye
[12:59] <hilldu> this is waht i used sudo fdisk -l
[12:59] <Kronuz> what's that Extended partition tho'?
[12:59] <kbd> soweto76: ATI doesn't support the composite extension with fglrx
[12:59] <Flannel> Kronuz: That depends on how many you made when you installed (or how many you want to make now)
[12:59] <n-iCe> hi why ubuntu is not saving tray icons ? how can i change that configuration ?
[12:59] <soweto76> kbd, nvidia here
[01:00] <Kronuz> Linux is where everything is (it's 80GB, then rhere's an Extended one and then the Linux Swap
[01:00] <Ferret> Kronuz: If you're trying to work out the grub names for things you might want to try using the grub shell and the "find" command, or even better, do stuff like "root (hd0,0)/<TAB>" (press tab there).  By looking at the files you can work out which partition it is
[01:00] <kbd> soweto76: yeah, you have all the fun :/
[01:00] <Ferret> Kronuz: 'cos grub has a weird numbering system
[01:00] <Nitro> Ferret: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9020/
[01:00] <killown> n-ice you need add sys try  in genome taskbar
[01:00] <r4nge> where is the actual "EDITOR" variable stored if i were to change default crontab editor to vim
[01:00] <kbd> soweto76: I wish desperately that I coud rip the videocard o of this laptop and put in an nvidia
[01:00] <n-iCe> killown how ?
[01:00] <kazuka> hi
[01:00] <kbd> soweto76: my next laptop will be nvidia
[01:01] <Kronuz> I'd install the MBR in the RAID, but I don't know how the MBR works in a fake RAID...
[01:01] <woland_> r4nge, EDITOR is an environment variable
[01:01] <soweto76> kbd, while composite worked it was a bit slow with the xfce4 stuff
[01:01] <kazuka> !nvidia
[01:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:01] <r4nge> woland: is it stored anywhere?
[01:01] <hilldu> It doesn't return one of my partitions though, it should show a 120gb ntfs drive but it doesn't
[01:01] <kbd> soweto76: hm, it should have been accelerated
[01:02] <Kronuz> what's the command to install a .deb file?
[01:02] <marx2k> dpkg
[01:02] <marx2k> !dpkg
[01:02] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[01:02] <Kronuz> ... I always forget the 'd'
[01:02] <Slart> Kronuz: dpkg -i mydebfile.deb
[01:02] <r4nge> right now default editor is nano, where is stored on the system right now that causes nano to be default
[01:02] <kbd> Kronuz: think "debian package"
[01:02] <woland_> r4nge, in memory, you can store it in your profile
[01:02] <soweto76> kbd, I am using Feisty Herd4 with nvidia now and it is still a bit slow.  I think this may be an Xfce thing however.
[01:02] <Slart> Kronuz: as always.. you might need a sudo in front there.. sudo dpkg -i debfile.deb
[01:03] <eyecue> hmm she doesnt want to boot into single user
[01:03] <Kronuz> thanks :)
[01:03] <woland_> r4nge, (.bashrc/.bash_profile - any other sourced file)
[01:03] <r4nge> EDITOR=/bin/vi
[01:03] <r4nge> export EDITOR
[01:03] <eyecue> i keep getting enter root pass for maintenance, or ctrl- to continue
[01:03] <eyecue> gah.
[01:03] <hilldu> is this because all my other partitions are on a SATA physical drive while the one i want to mount is a IDE?
[01:03] <kazuka> !limewire
[01:03] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[01:03] <kbd> soweto76: could be. How is Feisty? I feel bleeding edge being on Edgy :P
[01:03] <MetaBookfoziS> !print
[01:03] <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
[01:03] <Ferret> Nitro: Do you have libdevel/libgtk2.0-dev installed, and a program called /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-csource on the disk?
[01:03] <woland_> r4nge, or export EDITOR=/bin/vi
[01:04] <eyecue> does Single = single at the end of a kernel line in grub? ie; not case sensitive?
[01:04] <soweto76> kbd, Feisty is solid -- no problems with Herd4
[01:04] <tunganet> OOD: sync to VBlank, Allow Flipping, "Disable use of enhanced CPU instruction sets".  Which ones should i disable/enable to enrich my gaming performance?
[01:04] <MetaBookfoziS> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpPrinterInstallationAndMaintenanceDapper
[01:04] <MetaBookfoziS> where i found this in kubuntu?
[01:04] <infidel> !splash
[01:04] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[01:05] <r4nge> well for example, if i were to want to check what the default editor is when i first install ubuntu, would i be able to check somewhere (without resorting to just loading it)
[01:05] <n2diy> Open Office doesn't work, I get the splash screen as it opens, and then it dies. I'm running Dapper here, and I'm not sure if it worked after the intial installation or not.
[01:05] <Kronuz> great! I can play divx files now...
[01:05] <eyecue> Is the word Single for booting single user mode case sensitive?
[01:05] <absolutroot> hi guys... i am about to move from fedora to ubuntu, and was wondering if ndiswrapper is preinstalled in ubuntu edgy eft?  i tried to google it but did not find anything
[01:06] <Frogzoo> eyecue: most everything in nix is case sensitive - lower case s for single
[01:06] <mrpoundsign> kbd:  wow, compiz seems a lot faster than beryl...
[01:06] <Kronuz> still, I can't play WMV videos :(
[01:06] <kbd> mrpoundsign: yeah?? what about with blur on?
[01:06] <Kronuz> don't know about quicktime yet
[01:06] <mark22> hi guys, when i try to install ubuntu, the screen is somewhat garbled during installation
[01:06] <eyecue> hmm, i did use single, keep getting asked for maintenance password for root or ctrl-d to continue, no standard su # prompt
[01:06] <soweto76> absolutroot, I don't think ndiswrapper is installed by default and there are least a couple variants.
[01:06] <Flannel> absolutroot: not preinstalled, but on the CD
[01:06] <soundray> r4nge: debian-based systems normally use /usr/bin/sensible-editor for system tasks, so you can copy or link vi to that name
[01:06] <Nitro> Ferret: Yes.
[01:06] <Slart> eyecue: tried typing your user password?
[01:07] <linxeh> MetaBookfoziS: in System Settings on the main KDE menu
[01:07] <eyecue> yes
[01:07] <absolutroot> k, thanks guys
[01:07] <tonyyarusso> mark22: You may want to try either hooking up a different monitor or using the alternate CD.
[01:07] <Flannel> soundray, r4nge, don't symlink, use update-alternatives
[01:07] <Slart> eyecue: hmm.. I'm out of ideas then
[01:07] <eyecue> well, first user you mean?
[01:07] <eyecue> gah.
[01:07] <Slart> eyecue: yes
[01:07] <eyecue> why am i getting a prompt in the first place.
[01:07] <MetaBookfoziS> yes i have htat
[01:07] <MetaBookfoziS> thx
[01:07] <mark22> tony, i have a 1440x900 monitor, do you think thats the problem?
[01:07] <r4nge> Just edit /etc/bashrc...export EDITOR="pico"
[01:07] <eyecue> xorlev; save me :(~
[01:07] <r4nge> i was hoping to find something like that
[01:08] <marx2k> mark22: is it garbled after installation?
[01:08] <kazuka> !amule
[01:08] <ubotu> amule: client for the eD2k and Kad networks, like eMule. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.3-1 (edgy), package size 1239 kB, installed size 3368 kB
[01:08] <soundray> Flannel: as in 'sudo update-alternatives --config sensible-editor'? I get "No alternatives for sensible-editor."
[01:08] <pukeko> i have just lost sound. soundcard can not be detected !! is there a "snd-detect" tpye app in EDGY
[01:08] <mrpoundsign> kbd: not brave enough to try that yet.
[01:08] <kbd> hehe
[01:08] <mark22> marx, after i hit start or install ubuntu, it shows the progress bar with little green lines under it
[01:08] <theblue> Is there a way to do an on-the-fly copy of a DVD (for personal use, of course) of a DVD with CSS encryption?
[01:08] <Ferret> Nitro: OK, in that case, try cd src/pixmaps; make clean; make
[01:08] <marx2k> mark22 Im just wondering if its fine after installation
[01:08] <mark22> and the ubuntu logo looks like an 8 bit gif
[01:09] <marx2k> cool
[01:09] <soweto76> absolutroot, apt-cache search ndiswrapper
[01:09] <marx2k> :)
[01:09] <mark22> i can't get to the installation
[01:09] <pukeko> i don't seem to have alsaconf
[01:09] <linxeh> theblue: i guess k3b with libcss might do it
[01:09] <theblue> linxeh: Tried it, doesn't work.
[01:09] <soundray> theblue: not sure what you mean by "on the fly", but you might want to check out k9copy
[01:09] <marx2k> mark22: why cant you get to the installation?
[01:09] <pukeko> ..so how do i detect my soundcard ?
[01:09] <theblue> soundray: Disc-to-disc, without getting on the hard drive.
[01:09] <mark22> marx, it doesnt progress after the second screen
[01:09] <Xorlev> eyecue: What happened?
[01:09] <marx2k> mark22: which one is the second screen again?
[01:10] <Nitro> Ferret: Seems like it's working this time
[01:10] <mark22> marx, the one that shows up after you hit "start or install Ubuntu"
[01:10] <marx2k> err...
[01:10] <Ferret> Nitro: It does that sometimes, no idea why
[01:10] <v4m21> some body please tell commnd for viewing  boot time hardware messages ?
[01:11] <marx2k> im not sure if your graphics issue is whats causing the install issue though
[01:11] <soundray> v4m21: dmesg
[01:11] <v4m21> thanks.
[01:11] <marx2k> you might want to try the alternate install CD
[01:11] <Nitro> Ferret: Well, thanks :)
[01:11] <pukeko> how to detect a soundcard ?
[01:11] <Kronuz> oh, they're working... not all of them, but most (WMV)
[01:11] <Ferret> Nitro: If there're further problems, try unpacking the source, run make distclean, then run ./configure etc.
[01:11] <mark22> should i re download the iso, or just burn a new copy?
[01:11] <ericz> what's edgy use for screensaver daemon? no more xscreensaver?
[01:11] <marx2k> mark22: i'd burn an alternate ISO ... the alternative install CD
[01:12] <Kronuz> hey, I see Nautilus shows thumbnails of my files
[01:12] <Flannel> soundray: not sensible-editor, just editor
[01:12] <Ferret> xscreensaver is a horrible buggy program after all ;p
[01:12] <Frogzoo_> Kronuz: indeed
[01:12] <Kronuz> is it keeping a cache somewhere?
[01:12] <Nitro> Ferret: No it worked, I'm on 2.8 now :)
[01:12] <mark22> ok thanks for the help
[01:12] <marx2k> hope it DOES help
[01:12] <Frogzoo_> Kronuz: ~/.thumbnails/
[01:12] <ilreds> it's safe upgrade to feisty?
[01:12] <mark22> haha, we'll see
[01:12] <soundray> Flannel: that works, thanks

[01:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about soundcard - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:12] <marx2k> hrmmm
[01:12] <marx2k> !sound
[01:12] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:13] <soundray> ilreds: not before it's released. But you're welcome to help testing it.
[01:13] <vicente> does anyone know if evdev works ootb in 6.10 with mx518  for xorg?
[01:13] <Ferret> ericz: Looks like gnome-screensaver (System -> Preferences -> Screensaver)
[01:13] <marx2k> Im testing feisty in VMWare... seems to be solid but has had some bumps
[01:13] <Ferret> Nitro: Excellent. :)
[01:14] <n2diy> Open Office doesn't work, I get the splash screen as it opens, and then it dies. I'm running Dapper here, and I'm not sure if it worked after the intial installation or not.I re-installed OO with Synaptic, but it still does this.
[01:14] <eyecue> hmm, didnt like first userpassword either
[01:14] <vicente> anyone here have mx518?
[01:14] <marx2k> n2diy, try running it from a command line
[01:14] <brea> Is there any chance that they will fix the link for /bin/sh to /bin/dash?
[01:14] <Flannel> marx2k: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[01:14] <n2diy> marx2k: ok
[01:14] <Flannel> brea: no.  That's not a bug.  Dash is the new interpretter
[01:14] <Jackolas> Ok
[01:15] <Jackolas> A plug on my sound card isn't delivering sound
[01:15] <soundray> n2diy: try 'cd ; mv .openoffice.org2 openoffice.org2-backup ; oowriter'
[01:15] <Jackolas> the Front works
[01:15] <brea> Flannel: and the link breaks a lot of scripts out there
[01:15] <Kronuz> now I need to know a way to find something in the content of a whole bunch of files... :P
[01:15] <Jackolas> But my Rear has no signal
[01:15] <cecko> Hi all, what info should I submit with a bug report if my ThinkPad's wifi does not work sometimes? in kNetworkManager it shows no networks and WlanAssistant "No useable wireless devices found"
[01:15] <Kronuz> (and a good editor)
[01:15] <soundray> Kronuz: man grep
[01:15] <brea> Flannel: a bug by any other name is still a bug
[01:15] <Flannel> brea: those scripts are incorrectly written, assuming sh is bash.  The scripts, if using bash specific things, should have the shebang reference /bin/bash.
[01:15] <n2diy> marx2k: darryl@Chatto:~$ open office
[01:15] <n2diy> Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
[01:15] <Flannel> brea: It's a bug in the scripts, not Ubuntu
[01:15] <infidel> if hd0,0 is root what would my /boot be?
[01:16] <Jackolas> Any one know how to use multiple signal outs?
[01:16] <marx2k> n2diy, do what soundray said
[01:16] <Kronuz> soundray, I was hoping to have it in a graphical editor ^_^
[01:16] <n2diy> marx2k: ok
[01:16] <infidel> brea, just change it yourself
[01:16] <kazuka> anyone know how to get hi id on amule?
[01:16] <marx2k> soundray, whats the difference on a CLI between ';' and '&&'?
[01:16] <soundray> Kronuz: make friends with the command line. It's much more powerful in Linux. Read ubotu's pm:
[01:16] <eyecue> one continues if the first one suceeded
[01:16] <brea> Flannel: I get that, but too many scripts depend on it to change the link
[01:16] <eyecue> the other doesnt
[01:16] <soundray> !cli > Kronuz
[01:17] <Flannel> marx2k: the former performs the commands unconditionally, the latter only on success
[01:17] <marx2k> ohh
[01:17] <eyecue> && is if previous success.
[01:17] <eyecue> ; is regardless
[01:17] <eyecue> man  bash
[01:17] <theblue> And & is background?
[01:17] <marx2k> the man page for bash is immense
[01:17] <eyecue> search it with /
[01:17] <Flannel> brea: Those scripts are poorly written.  What's your point?  It's not a bug with Ubuntu.
[01:17] <eyecue> unless ubuntu is different ;)
[01:17] <Kronuz> soundray, do you know if I can make the back/forward buttons in my mouse work in Nautilus?
[01:17] <marx2k> almost 5000 lines for the bash man page ;)
[01:18] <pavs> whats wrong with this command?  sudo ls -R | /home/pavs/test.txt
[01:18] <Squee> Does anyone know of a tool to bruteforce the directory structure (maybe files as well) of a webpage?
[01:18] <Kronuz> (the way they work in windows)
[01:18] <Flannel> brea: dash provides a good deal of benefits over bash as an interpretter
[01:18] <soundray> marx2k: for more approachable help, /join #bash and read the topic
[01:18] <theblue> pavs: It's not actually outputting anywhere.
[01:18] <Flannel> pavs: you want >
[01:18] <tonyyarusso> pavs: why are you using sudo for that?
[01:18] <theblue> pavs: Try 'sudo ls -R | cat > /home/pavs/test.txt'
[01:18] <pavs> because it said permisson denied
[01:18] <Kronuz> also, how do I mount a DVD image?
[01:18] <Kronuz> .... so many questions :P
[01:18] <marx2k> Hm, lots of channels I didnt know existed
[01:18] <theblue> pavs: Oh, right.
[01:18] <Flannel> pavs: or, sudo ls -R | tee /home/test.txt
[01:18] <theblue> pavs: Try 'sudo ls -R | sudo cat > /home/pavs/test.txt'
[01:18] <Flannel> theblue: no, tee not cat
[01:19] <theblue> Flannel: What's the difference?
[01:19] <Kronuz> (all just to run away from Vista) ^_^
[01:19] <Flannel> theblue: they do different things
[01:19] <brea> Flannel: The boot speed is nice, but dealing with support issues is NOT!
[01:19] <soundray> !iso > Kronuz, read the pm from ubotu pls
[01:19] <theblue> Flannel: Didn't know.
[01:19] <arrenlex> Flannel: That doesn't do anything, unless you need root permissions to list the directory files.
[01:19] <kitche> brea: it's also not hard to change the link also
[01:19] <Kronuz> soundray, thanks
[01:19] <kbd> mrpoundsign: My pm never got to you did it?
[01:19] <arrenlex> Flannel: If you're doing what I think you're doing, sudo goes on the tee.
[01:19] <hanbus1> slart you still here buddy??
[01:19] <ekimus> anyone running xen binary with oracle-xe as a domU? upon starting oracle i get this: "Bad pte = 003dd0a0, process = ???, vm_flags = 70, vaddr = b7084000" google is silent about it :(
[01:19] <Slart> hanbus1: yup.. how did it go?
[01:19] <ComputerHermit> wheir do I post a new thread
[01:20] <Kronuz> is there a ubotu entry for ubotu (showing all the commands)? :P
[01:20] <Flannel> arrenlex: right, if you need permissions to write the file, you need sudo on the tee.  He however had sudo on the ls,so I was parrotting his command
[01:20] <n2diy> marx2k: soundray, that command worked, will my app menus work now?
[01:20] <ComputerHermit> I dont seee it in the fourm?
[01:20] <pavs> thanks guys it worked
[01:20] <ekimus> !barrazooo

[01:20] <arrenlex> Flannel: Okeydoke, sorry. I just came in.
[01:20] <Ferret> Should be a link there
[01:20] <soundray> n2diy: try it out
[01:20] <Kronuz> :)

[01:20] <hanbus1> slart: it went great, thanks, except one thing, how do i put stars in the boxes, ive tried every button
[01:20] <soundray> n2diy: should work

[01:20] <ilreds> guys, i've an athlon64, now i'm on ubuntu edgy i386, must i switch to ubuntu x86_64? i use my pc in a desktop way.
[01:21] <n2diy> soundray: roger
[01:21] <arrenlex> ilreds: Of course not. I advise you stick with a 32-bit distro.
[01:21] <Slart> hanbus1: stars in the boxes? ahh.. try space.. if that doesn't work.. try enter
[01:21] <soundray> ilreds: stick with i386, you'll be fine
[01:21] <Ferret> ilreds: If it works, why change? ;p
[01:21] <ilreds> it's true that there isn't flash and other thing for x86_64?
[01:21] <Slart> ilreds: no.. stick with 386
[01:21] <arrenlex> ilreds: Yes.
[01:21] <Slart> ilreds: kind of true.. yes
[01:21] <Flannel> brea: Those script authors need to code to the specifications.  There's absolutely no reason Ubuntu needs to cater to people who are too careless to follow standards.

[01:21] <ubotu> Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash
[01:21] <Ferret> ilreds: Yeah, you'd need to install a weird 32-bit version of mozilla
[01:21] <arrenlex> ilreds: "The other thing" is codecs.
[01:21] <soundray> ilreds: x86_64 is advantageous only for numbercrunching tasks, like video encoding
[01:22] <ilreds> ok, now i want use vmware server but my fresh ubuntu edgy installation is very slow, how can i speed-up it?
[01:22] <hanbus1> slart: how do i enable 1280x1024
[01:22] <pavs> ilreds from my personal experience dont switch to 86_64 you will miss out on some stuff, because not all softwares are ported in 64 bit, notable wine and flash, though there are some hacks available but they dont work as good, if at all
[01:22] <Slart> hanbus1: it's not selectable there in the list?
[01:22] <n2diy> soundray: it worked, and so did the spreadsheet, cool beans, tnx.
[01:23] <ilreds> pavs: ok, i stay on i386
[01:23] <hanbus1> slart: i starred it, but its not showing up, i got 832x624 instead...

[01:23] <soundray> n2diy: consider deleting openoffice.org2-backup from your $HOME then
[01:23] <breetai> anyone having luck with the bcm4318 of Feisty Fawn rc5 ???
[01:23] <n2diy> soundray: roger
[01:24] <kbd> breetai: native driver right?
[01:24] <pavs> breetai did bcm4318 worked for you on edgy, it doeasnt work for me on edgy 64bit
[01:24] <ardchoille> I'm trying to combine two different livecd's (Dapper and Edgy) into one livedvd. Does anyone know of a tutorial for this?
[01:24] <Slart> hanbus1: huuh? what kind of weird resolution is that?.. I usually uncheck almost all the resolutions there.. keep only the higher ones.. but you can change resolution in gnome.. System menu, preferences, resolution something
[01:24] <marx2k> in XChat, how do I set channels for auto-join?
[01:24] <breetai> I woud be happy with either. And I have had both working in edgy.
[01:24] <Kronuz> I mounted a DVD in a directory, how does Ogle know where is the disk?
[01:24] <Slart> hanbus1: System menu, preferences, Screen resolution
[01:25] <kbd> pavs: far as I know bcm43xx is still beta quality
[01:25] <soundray> breetai: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[01:25] <kbd> breetai: did you upgrade to Feisty from Edgy?
[01:25] <hanbus1> slart: yeah, i ran the reconfig once, it got me back in, and then i ran it again to enable 1280x1024, and its not popping up on the list, although, the new weird res has been added to the list at the bottom
[01:25] <Kronuz> hey, I can open the image directly without mounting! :)
[01:25] <breetai> soundray is that another channel, if so, what is the +1 for? Does it mean tier 2 support? :)
[01:26] <Kronuz> tho' it crashed or something :P
[01:26] <n2diy> soundray: I can't delete it, I don't have permission to modify its parent folder!?!? Its my home folder, so why not?
[01:26] <soundray> breetai: it's the channel for feisty support
[01:26] <Slart> hanbus1: can you change resolution to the one you want in the gnome menu?
[01:26] <dking> anyone have any advice for dual booting with wubi?
[01:26] <dking> as in
[01:26] <dking> getting it to work?
[01:26] <pavs> kbd i am trying to make bcm4318 work for a long time, none of the online tutorials worked for me. instead I had to buy a 50$ linksys wireless. it works but not all the time.
[01:26] <breetai> Ah, thanks soundray for the advice
[01:26] <Slart> hanbus1: are you using nvidia or ati? or something else?
[01:26] <breetai> have a better one....
[01:27] <hanbus1> slart: no, 1024x768 is the max, thats why i ran the reconfig, to try and add 1280, and i did check the box, but it gave me this weird res, and im running ati
[01:27] <Kronuz> "failed opening the oss audio driver at /dev/dsp"
[01:27] <soundray> n2diy: not sure, but this is possibly the reason why you had problems. Try 'sudo rm -rf /home/yourusername/openoffice.org2-backup'
[01:27] <hanbus1> slart: i had 1280 working before, but it seemed to have gotten messed up
[01:27] <Slart> hanbush: have you checked the ATI driver install thingy?
[01:27] <soundray> Xenguy: join #ubuntu+1 and read the topic
[01:27] <Kronuz> then it says "ctrl: ipc_rmid: Invalid argument"
[01:27] <Slart> !ati > hanbus1

[01:28] <hanbus1> slart: let me run through the config again, and see whats up
[01:28] <Slart> hanbus1: it's a start.. don't know if that's what's stopping you from using 1280x1024.. but it's worth a try
[01:28] <soundray> n2diy: include everything between the 'quotes'

[01:28] <kazuka> hi soundray

[01:28] <soundray> Hi kazuka
[01:29] <soundray> musya3d: man adduser
[01:29] <pavs> kbd: yup ndiswrapper didnt work either.
[01:29] <BoBothn> ok i am trying to install something in with the pakage manager and it is asking for my password i put it in and it says wrong password
[01:29] <musya3d> how would i set his permisions? so when he ftps he cant look at previous dir.
[01:29] <kazuka> wow
[01:29] <kazuka> i got a new hobby again
[01:29] <kazuka> w00t
[01:29] <kbd> pavs: I have a built-in AirForce One 54g that I am using on Edgy which also worked on Dapper, on x86_64. I think there is hope for you.
[01:29] <soundray> BoBothn: it asks for the user password -- is that what you're entering?
[01:30] <theblue> Whoo!
[01:30] <qfour20> Hiya everybody.  How do I get the package manager to ignore a "misconfigured" package?
[01:30] <kbd> pavs: Are you on x86_64 as well?
[01:30] <BoBothn> i only have one user installed
[01:30] <n2diy> soundray: shouldn't that be .openoffice, not openoffice?
[01:30] <soundray> n2diy: no, remember the mv command? That renamed it.
[01:30] <BoBothn> i mean i only have one user account and one password
[01:30] <n2diy> soundray: roger
[01:30] <arrenlex> qfour20: You don't. You have to fix it. What package?
[01:31] <qfour20> mythtv
[01:31] <musya3d> soundray how can i set his permissions?
[01:31] <arrenlex> qfour20: Why is it misconfigured?
[01:31] <soundray> BoBothn: make sure you haven't accidentally left Capslock on
[01:31] <qfour20> arrenlex: my system thinks it needs to host the mysql database and such
[01:31] <pavs> kbd: I am hoping to buy a new laptop, i was wondering if there is somekind of compatible like of computers supported by ubuntu without any hitch, (or any other linux distro for that matter)
[01:31] <theblue> Seveas: Nice one, mate.
[01:31] <qfour20> arrenlex: but I just took mythfrontend from when it installed and configured him from in the gui of myth
[01:31] <soundray> musya3d: what do you mean by 'previous dir'?
[01:32] <pavs> like == list
[01:32] <musya3d> soundray so he cant look at root dirc. only his
[01:32] <arrenlex> qfour20: That's a debian package dependency. Why don't you install it?
[01:32] <BoBothn> i useing fiesty and after last update the password prompt changed it has a remember password box now and my password no longer works
[01:32] <Flannel> BoBothn: #ubunt+1 for feisty support
[01:32] <kbd> pavs: I wish. But I do get very good performance from this BCM4318
[01:32] <Xenguy> pavs: the Thinkpad/Leveno(sp?) are supposed to be quite h/w compatible with Linux
[01:32] <hanbus1> slart: fglrx drivers are not a good idea, they dont play nice with beryl
[01:32] <soundray> musya3d: set up ftpd to run in a chroot environment
[01:33] <arrenlex> Slart: fglrx works fine with beryl, just not aiglx. You'd need xgl instead.
[01:33] <qfour20> arrenlex: is it possible to skip dependencies, though?  similar to USE flags in gentoo (USE=frontendonly emerge mythtv)
[01:33] <soundray> BoBothn: ask in #ubuntu+1 please if you're using feisty
[01:33] <Slart> hanbus1: ok.. it's the same drivers you had before, right?
[01:33] <n2diy> soundray: it still appears in Nautilus, but ls tells me no such file or directory now, strange?
[01:33] <kbd> pavs: If would like any help getting ndiswrapper working with your card I would be glad to help.
[01:33] <pavs> kbd: I have rc2 I dont think that works very good with ndiswrapper, which one do you have?
[01:33] <Slart> hanbus1: arrenlex said "fglrx works fine with beryl, just not aiglx. You'd need xgl instead."
[01:33] <arrenlex> qfour20: No. The "official" way to resolve dependencies you don't want are to create and install an empty package of the same name. So no.
[01:34] <KeeNaF> guys .. I installed azureus from their website (not via add/remove) .. but, the azureus is not in application --> internet .. I need to using terminal to run azureus like cd Desktop and then ./azureus .. how to make azureus available in application --> internet??

[01:34] <hanbus1> slart: im not sure if im still running fglrx or not, messing with fglrx messed up my system in the first place, i was trying to delete them with some help from the beryl channel
[01:34] <pavs> kbd: you willing to walk me through? I think I removed ndiswrapper from my system, you might have to start from scratch
[01:34] <Xenguy> pavs: check for a 2nd opinion recommended :-)
[01:35] <soundray> pavs: tuxmobil.org is a great resource (listings of installation reports)
[01:35] <pavs> Xenguy: thanks I will look into it
[01:35] <Slart> hanbus1: hmm... you could try editing the xorg.conf file yourself..
[01:35] <Flannel> KeeNaF: That's not suprising.  The default Azureus wouldn't add anything, just install it.  You'll need to edit the menu yourself (Ala Carte menu editor) to add it
[01:35] <hanbus1> scary....

[01:37] <n2diy> soundray: no, and ls doesn't find it. In Nautilus, the directory icon is red, with a white x in it, properties tells me it is unreadable.
[01:37] <Kronuz> also, is there a way I can "capture" all the URLs that are being called in the system? In Windows I used URLSnooper
[01:37] <Flannel> KeeNaF: You'll need to use Alacarte Menu Editor (it's in your menu, somewhere) to edit
[01:38] <marx2k> thanks :)
[01:38] <hanbus1> arrenlex: i get nothing from   grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf | egrep -v "^#|kbd|mouse|wacom|synaptics"

[01:39] <alexstacey> hi, can anyone tell me how to add an application to keyring manager so i don't have to type a passphrase every time i ssh / scp ? thanks
[01:39] <KeeNaF> Flannel | .. ok .. TQ ..

[01:39] <hanbus1> yeah
[01:39] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Sure it can, with w32codecs.
[01:39] <n2diy> soundray: ok, I'll give that a try.
[01:39] <Kronuz> arrenlex, I already got the win32 codecs and all, but it says it "can't parse that"
[01:39] <pavs> kbd: i followed this one before, but i think i will give it another go, be right back. I will login with konversation, javing problem with bitchx.

[01:46] <mambo> ill check that
[01:46] <kbd> mambo: btw, search the forums for info about beryl and edgy, I just show this one because I used it on my ATI equipped laptop
[01:46] <Kronuz> lol, thanks :)
[01:46] <soundray> n2diy: not sure -- maybe fsck will. When you have some time on your hand, do 'sudo touch /forcefsck' and reboot.
[01:46] <akar> please can anyone help me?
[01:46] <blaze> or mambo  you could even follow the forums at !forum
[01:46] <arrenlex> soundray: forcefsck sounds illegal.

[01:46] <ubotu> The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org

[01:47] <kbd> I mean bcm43xx
[01:47] <arrenlex> soundray: :O
[01:47] <blaze> there is a very good guide which took me step by step how to install beryl with ATI and Ubuntu
[01:47] <mambo> kbd: ok, i have done that, but now how can i configure it?
[01:47] <pavs> kbd: yes
[01:47] <akar> [fglrx:firegl_init_pcie]  *ERROR* Invalid GART type 0.
[01:47] <blaze> type "beryl-config' at a console
[01:47] <abisen> any solution for installing flash / java plugin and realplayer on firefox in ubuntu for amd64
[01:47] <pavs> kbd do I put XX or do I have to actually put in the number
[01:48] <marx2k> Whats an easy method of telling what version of software you have installed?
[01:48] <mambo> all the tarballs i have downloaded are for kde....
[01:48] <abisen> even acroread is not available in the rpositories
[01:48] <kbd> mambo: change sessions at the GDM screen by clicking on Options and choosing "Change Session..." and choose Xgl
[01:48] <soundray> n2diy: yes, filesystem checking has to be done while filesystems are unmounted, so it's best done at boot.
[01:48] <marx2k> like what version 'tcpdump' is at... or 'wine' or something
[01:48] <blaze> mambo , I ment "beryl-manager"
[01:48] <n2diy> soundray: arrenlex, so does reboot, I gave that up with winders.
[01:48] <kbd> login and then from a terminal type beryl-manager
[01:48] <akar> i wasn't having this problem in suse
[01:48] <soundray> arrenlex: did that clear it up?
[01:48] <kbd> then right click on the ruby that shows up in the notification tray
[01:49] <arrenlex> soundray: I was making a joke about how the name sounds like rape xD I wasn't implying it doesn't do anything or that you don't know what you're talking about.

[01:49] <kbd> pavs: what shows up?

[01:50] <kbd> pavs ok, good
[01:50] <colbert> arrenlex: I get the same error with gksudo :(

[01:51] <Kronuz> arrenlex, yep, it's working now
[01:52] <arrenlex> Kronuz: yw.
[01:52] <Kronuz> arrenlex, still, I think when I installed the win32 codecs I didn't restart Firefox
[01:52] <bioz> hello people i am linux noob can somebody tell me how to i login like root ? a sudo login root ? a somebody can tell me a ?
[01:52] <colbert> soundray: No I don't hehe :)
[01:52] <arrenlex> Kronuz: That doesn't matter.
[01:52] <Kronuz> so that might have been the problem :P
[01:52] <Kronuz> no?
[01:52] <eyecue> fark.
[01:52] <pavs> kbd do you want me to skip number 3?
[01:52] <soundray> bioz: you mean a root shell? Try 'sudo -i'
[01:53] <arrenlex> Kronuz: w32codecs are for the media player. Firefox doesn't know or care about them. You had to restart firefox when you changed the firefox plugins.
[01:53] <pavs> because the error is still there
[01:53] <bioz> ohh yea
[01:53] <bioz> thanks all
[01:53] <kbd> pavs yeah, it doesn't appear that you have any modules that would interfere with the card now

[01:57] <foormea> does anyone know why i don't have a /dev/sg0 ?! i also tried to modprobe sg but still don't get any sg...

[01:58] <eyecue> apparently the method was changed recently.
[01:58] <kazuka> wow that was fast
[01:58] <Flannel> eyecue: if you've set a root password, you'll need it to login to the Recovery Console
[01:58] <Kronuz> now Galeon was set as the browser :S
[01:58] <arrenlex> tux0010: Try adding the line:         Option          "UseInternalAGPGART"   "no"
[01:58] <kazuka> ubuntu is soooooo coooool
[01:58] <arrenlex> tux0010: to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the device section.
[01:58] <eyecue> flan; the 2nd entry in the loader? its a no go
[01:58] <Flannel> eyecue: "no go" meaning what?
[01:58] <arrenlex> tux0010: Same section where the video card driver is specified.
[01:58] <eyecue> editing that line just shows a standard loader line minus splash and quiet, + single
[01:58] <Kronuz> why was that? how can I change it back to Firefox
[01:58] <gaten> ToddEDM:  do you know what file system it is?
[01:58] <pavs> sakobatoneka: I had this problem but only azureus would shut down not the computer, i think you have to reinstall java, atleast it worked for me
[01:59] <Flannel> eyecue: Er, you don't need to edit that line.  Run it.
[01:59] <eyecue> unless you mean something else by recovery console
[01:59] <ToddEDM> its NTFS

[01:59] <soundray> eyecue: are you on edgy?
[01:59] <foormea> ToddEDM, depends what kind of partition. windows can read and write ext2/ext2 (jsut careful of rights) using <cant.remember.what.prog.but.you'll.find.that.easily>
[01:59] <eyecue> same as editing the first 'with' single.
[01:59] <bibek> so i dont have the outerwindow??
[01:59] <VanessaE> evening all..
[01:59] <minttea> hello
[01:59] <foormea> ToddEDM, or you could share a fat32 or ntfs (using fuse).

[01:59] <ToddEDM> its a NTFS partition, that i want linux and windows to share

[02:00] <ToddEDM> ok thanks guys

[02:00] <VanessaE> Is it normal for Xorg to "steal" some colors from an otherwise 8bpp display (in StaticColor visual)?
[02:00] <eyecue> the closest ive come is with the rw init=/bin/bash, given a root@(unknown) shell
[02:00] <kbd> ok good

[02:01] <eyecue> ill tell you in a tick
[02:01] <Kronuz> arrenlex, it was firefox, but for some reason it just changed to galeon

[02:01] <arrenlex> Kronuz: No. That has nothing to do with it whatsoever.
[02:01] <EchoBinary> didn't see anythign with xorg in the install list
[02:02] <eyecue> URL for a livecd?
[02:02] <Flannel> eyecue: since the rescue console would require you to give the root password.
[02:02] <eyecue> any livecd ? ubuntu live cd
[02:02] <eyecue> recommendations.
[02:02] <Flannel> eyecue: Desktop CD
[02:02] <Flannel> eyecue: ubuntu will work fine
[02:02] <eyecue> can i boot the cd that the server was installed with ?
[02:02] <kbd> pavs: someone should have noted the link no longer works on that forum thread. I haven't registered on the forum yet though
[02:02] <Kronuz> arrenlex, that's what I thought... but now it's opening galeon and I did nothing :(
[02:02] <Flannel> eyecue: No, that's just an install CD
[02:02] <EchoBinary> if I want to install fluxbox as my main desktop from the server install what's the apt-get line? :(
[02:02] <EchoBinary> :) *
[02:02] <pavs> kbd thanks I am downloading
[02:02] <Flannel> eyecue: that (needing a CD to fix lost root password) is one reason ubuntu doesn't use the root account
[02:02] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Ask if someone can help you change your default browser.
[02:02] <eyecue> \Can you refer me to an URL for an an appropriate ISO for an appropriate LiveCD
[02:03] <Kronuz> perhaps it's a XChat thing
[02:03] <tux0010> arrenlex: still says opengl vendor is mesa
[02:03] <Kronuz> I'll check the configuration
[02:03] <blanky> hey guys I want to move a folder and everything in it to another place but it has some hidden files and folders how can I make sure it moves EVERYTHING

[02:04] <eyecue> wow, would have hoped for a correct mime type on that iso.
[02:04] <blanky> soundray: okay, but does it need a special flag or something
[02:04] <Flannel> eyecue: that wiki page gives instructions on re-setting passwords
[02:04] <eyecue> umm, will that boot a ui ?
[02:04] <soundray> blanky: no
[02:04] <Flannel> eyecue: Yes, its a liveCD
[02:04] <eyecue> gah.
[02:04] <eyecue> it wont touch the existing in stall i assume

[02:06] <tux0010> arrenlex: sorry, its being very slow
[02:06] <Flannel> EchoBinary: I just told you.  `sudo apt-get install fluxbox`, you'll need to enable universe though
[02:06] <arrenlex> tux0010: pastebin.com is ALWAYS slow. Please use ubuntu's pastebin or pastebin.ca

[02:09] <blanky> hey who was the one that told me to use mv
[02:09] <soundray> blanky: if you're moving gigabytes between filesystems, it can take some time. If you're moving within a filesystem, it should happen immediately
[02:09] <blanky> soundray: can I use cp to the same effect
[02:09] <LiENUS> how do i do the equivilant of excel's "set print area" in openoffice.org?
[02:09] <soundray> blanky: no, cp will copy. Read ubotu's private message:

[02:10] <blanky> would cp work?

[02:10] <blanky> haha, I know what the terminal is :) I was asking how I could make it so it'd do that
[02:10] <omegacenti> something akin to how fast microsoft IME is.

[02:10] <sakobatoneko> how can i make the sound work
[02:10] <kazuka> how do i change the default application to open my mp3s?
[02:10] <eyecue> Can I ask 'why' a LiveCD is required, and a single-user boot isnt possible using 'Edgy' ?
[02:11] <EchoBinary> Flannel: what do I install next? :)
[02:11] <omegacenti> What is a character input program?
[02:11] <tux0010> arrenlex: says GART is not initialized
[02:11] <arrenlex> tux0010: I can see that.
[02:11] <tux0010> arrenlex: so seems like the AGP is messed up
[02:11] <gyaresu> omegacenti: Is there nothing there on a switching tool (I've not had to do it myself)?
[02:11] <soundray> panfist: it's probably a server side problem. Be patient, or use another mirror.
[02:11] <blanky> eyecue: what do you mean livecd is required, get the alternate install disk
[02:11] <kbd> pavs ok, ifconfig -a will list all your interfaces, use sudo though if it won't let you
[02:11] <LiENUS> thank you n2diy
[02:11] <owner> does anyone have xammp installed
[02:11] <LiENUS> set print area would be nice :/

[02:11] <eyecue> so now its an alternate install disk?

[02:11] <eyecue> not the livecd?

[02:11] <omegacenti> gyaresu: something about Xfce XKB Plugin
[02:11] <panfist> soundray: i'm not sure it's server side because it says gzip is returning an error...i figured gzip should be pretty stable?
[02:12] <NickCz> to set print area highlight what you want then
[02:12] <pavs> kbd i see sit0 this is new it wasnt there befor
[02:12] <Flannel> plagerism: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty support
[02:12] <soundray> eyecue: no, you need the live CD
[02:12] <gyaresu> omegacenti: char input prog is where you click on each char with your mouse in a gui prog.
[02:12] <kbd> pavs: also, nvm bout the forum, someone did mention another location for the driver, I think.
[02:12] <eyecue> well, you better figure it out amongst yourself
[02:12] <kazuka> how do i change the default application to open my mp3s?
[02:12] <eyecue> im going on 2 hours for a root password reset.
[02:12] <omegacenti> noway would I like to do that.
[02:12] <eyecue> but i do appreciate the responses.
[02:12] <pavs> kbd the secodn location doesnt work either, i tried them both
[02:12] <soundray> panfist: it is. More likely, the gzipped file is not gzipped or corrupted. Hence server-side.
[02:12] <tux0010> arrenlex: hmm lemme read that
[02:12] <eyecue> fortunately it wasnt me who borked the install, or lost the pass
[02:12] <Flannel> eyecue: Desktop CD is the liveCD, you need that.  Alternate/Server/Minimal is an installer (the old textmode installer)
[02:12] <panfist> soundray: thanks!
[02:13] <eyecue> yeh no problem
[02:13] <NickCz> who watned to set print area?
[02:13] <eyecue> i dont care being on a cli
[02:13] <eyecue> ii just need a freakin root prompt :)
[02:13] <omegacenti> gyaresu: the guide you sent me looks like it is for xubuntu. Are they interchangeable?
[02:13] <gyaresu> eyecue: If you boot in 'single user mode' you won't need the password.
[02:13] <gyaresu> omegacenti: When it comes to keyboards yes. As I said, I've not personally done it.
[02:14] <eyecue> *rolls eyes*
[02:14] <pavs> eyesue root password reset is easy
[02:14] <eyecue> gy; you missed the preceding 2 hours.
[02:14] <DigitalNinja> How do I get rid of the text pop up on gnome? It's the one where you mouse over icons on the panel and a text description pops up

[02:14] <tux0010> arrenlex: its just that its having trouble with my AGP
[02:14] <gyaresu> eyecue: Right. Fancy a recap?
[02:14] <sakobatoneko> can any one tell me why
[02:14] <eyecue> i cant, but livecd is the only thing ive yet to try.
[02:14] <eyecue> sure gy

[02:16] <g3nocide> can anyone tell me why when i boot the ubuntu 6.10 dvd it loads up to a brown desktop, but there are no icons, windows, etc, jsut some random lines here and there and the mouse cursor (that looks and works fine)
[02:16] <Kronuz_> again my Ubuntu is frozen
[02:16] <blanky> Kronuz: what'd you do last
[02:16] <Frogzoo> g3nocide: you should have desktop icons/menus - so somethings not right
[02:16] <g3nocide> Frogzoo: i kinda figured that
[02:16] <Kronuz_> ... well sort of frozen, the mouse pointer is still working (again)
[02:16] <eyecue> Flannel; definitive is all i need, the method of success is not my concern :)
[02:16] <soundray> eyecue: is there only one OS on the system?
[02:16] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: 'asoundconf list'
[02:17] <Kronuz_> and now the music is playing also (still)
[02:17] <eyecue> Correct.
[02:17] <tux0010> arrenlex: any ideas?
[02:17] <kbd> john_: you may have to right click the beryl icon in the notification tray and click refresh window decorator
[02:17] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, thanks now I try it
[02:17] <john_> kbd: i'll try that
[02:17] <pavs> kbd at present i didnt setup my essid, because linksys adapter didnt work with it. last question, do i have to do ifconfig sit0 up everytime i restart or it should connect automatically?
[02:17] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: Note the name of the card then 'asoundconf set-default-card _card_name_'
[02:17] <arrenlex> tux0010: If you've tried the commands in the forum and they don't produce any errors, nope.
[02:17] <g3nocide> Frogzoo: i see the ubuntu booting screen and what not, choose install/boot ubuntu (the first option) and then when it loads up i get a mouse cursor and random lines, maybe the image i downloaded is corrupt ?
[02:17] <soundray> eyecue: use my nick if you're responding to me please -- if your connection is slow like that, you might try DSL Linux instead.
[02:17] <Kronuz_> blanky, I didn't do anything
[02:17] <recon39> could someone please tell me how to get 3dchess to work on ubuntu I installed it from the synaptic package manager
[02:18] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, how can I note the name of the card? what do you mean exactly?
[02:18] <john_> kbd: thanks, that does it
[02:18] <Flannel> eyecue: right, well, that's definitive.  Stop bugging people about it, there's no other way.
[02:18] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: 'asoundconf list'
[02:18] <kbd> pavs: I'm not sure, if it doesn't do it automatically you can script that and make it a button on the bar
[02:18] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, with asoundconf list I have no output
[02:18] <Frogzoo> g3nocide: sounds more like it's not detecting your vid card properly
[02:18] <pavs> kbd thanks again for all the help i really apprciate it.
[02:18] <kbd> john_: it used to do it automatically like the gnome theme settings manager but after an upgrade it stopped working :/
[02:18] <g3nocide> Frogzoo: i tried both the regular and safe graphics mode, i have an evga geforce 7800GT
[02:19] <gyaresu> Flannel: eyecue Have you tried livecd and chrooting into the / directory?
[02:19] <kbd> pavs: no problem, happyto be a utility!
[02:19] <omegacenti> yeah, Im totally lost, and this guide is not too helpful on what language codes there are.
[02:19] <Kronuz_> the weird how I can move the mouse pointer and the music is still playing
[02:19] <gyaresu> !jp | omegacenti
[02:19] <ubotu> omegacenti:  #ubuntu-jp  #kubuntu-jp
[02:19] <kbd> pavs: oh also you could use network settings manager to make it the default interface
[02:19] <Kronuz_> but I can't do anything
[02:19] <john_> kbd: at least it's only 2 clicks, nothing serious.  thanks again
[02:19] <Kronuz_> the keyboard isn't responding either
[02:19] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, I don't know why I get no output. I'd just like to make ALSA work with this Sound Blaster 16

[02:19] <Kronuz_> fortunately, I have SSH shell

[02:20] <infidel> sound blaster 16? wow.
[02:20] <EchoBinary> Flannel: okay ran #sudo apt-get remove linux-server linux-image-server
[02:20] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: You should get a list of available sound cards... If you don't then it's not recognised and you have to go back to log files...

[02:21] <recon39> can I play dvd's with just a cdrw on ubuntu
[02:21] <recon39> does anyone know
[02:21] <GionnyBoss> infidel, it's my girlfriend computer... I installed ubuntu on it because Win ME was a real s**t
[02:21] <Flannel> EchoBinary: right.  You're done then.  You've got the generic kernel, removed the server, installed fluxbox.  You're good to go.
[02:22] <EchoBinary> so I run startx?
[02:22] <NickCz> i need help activating a partition is dmraid if anyone can plz help
[02:22] <infidel> GionnyBoss, and it's not working i take it?
[02:22] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: May be a different problem but There are some soundblaster cards that (at least 12 months ago) were not recognised because they were software based. Does your card have a Game controler port on it? If so it's hardware based.

[02:22] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, now I watch for Game controller port
[02:23] <nexousNET> Hi
[02:23] <OptimusPrimeRIb> Hi, does anyone have any experience enabling line-in on their audio cards?
[02:23] <EchoBinary> Error: could not connect to XServer.
[02:23] <sean13_> hey, anyone good with Ubuntu sound problems?
[02:23] <EchoBinary> ok, so I need to install XOrg
[02:23] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: It's a pci sound card right?
[02:23] <Kronuz_> okay, I'm in (ssh)
[02:23] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, yep, there's a game controller port
[02:23] <Kronuz_> what's next? :)
[02:23] <fizzmahon> quick question, you think its better to run feisty h5, 6.10 or 6.06?
[02:23] <poningru> !sound | sean13_
[02:23] <ubotu> sean13_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:23] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, I guess so, I didn't open the computer but it's a pentium III, so I doubt that there are ISA slots inside
[02:23] <Kronuz_> (everything's still frozen in the other box, the one I'm connected to using ssh)
[02:24] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: Good. So now you need to see if it's recognised hardware. What does 'lspci' say?
[02:24] <soundray> fizzmahon: you need to decide for yourself
