[06:31] <fma243> What is the best audio video player in ubuntu which can run any audio video
[06:31] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, packages.ubuntu.com    you can download the debs there
[06:31] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/nvidia-glx-new
[06:31] <Bodsda> !best | fma243
[06:32] <fma243> best eh?
[06:32] <Decepticon> Amun, would this do well in your eyes: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814139174R
[06:33] <oldbluebox> PM: can you check out the last post in this link in the forum and let me know if you think that driver would work well? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-382987.html
[06:33] <SeveredCross> fma243: A good combination might be Banshee (audio) and VLC (video).
[06:33] <fma243> hey guys where can i get a vlc installation for ubuntu
[06:33] <msshams> hi, can you please tell me that have "toshiba U405-S2830" any problem with linux? i can't find any article about this model in linux-laptop.net
[06:33] <oldbluebox> this is the laptop im using for ubuntu: http://www.dell.com/downloads/us/products/latit/c840_spec.pdf
[06:33] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, that's on Edgy, let's use it as a last resort
[06:33] <Bodsda> fma243, sudo apt0get install vlc
[06:33] <Bodsda> fma243, sudo apt-get install vlc
[06:33] <SeveredCross> Though the latest version of Banshee (1.0, not available in the repo AFAIK), plays video too.
[06:34] <Amun> Decepticon: sure, if your only gonna watch from s-video
[06:34] <SunJay> i tried " sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset" and it didn't work
[06:34] <Amun> the mx4000 is a real old card. so no new graphics and what not
[06:34] <oldbluebox> PM: on that link you sent me, which one do I download?
[06:34] <Decepticon> amun in that case dont you think paying $30 bucks for it is a bit steep? for an old card like that
[06:34] <oldbluebox> the amd64 or the other?
[06:34] <Amun> Decepticon: if it makes any difference, i've never tried s-video out, but i have played halo 1 for the pc religiously on the mx4000 card.
[06:34] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, what do you use?
[06:35] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, 64-bit or 32-bit?
[06:35] <ikasa4> i need help to configure my screen resolution?
[06:35] <oldbluebox> 32
[06:35] <wols_> !fixres ikasa4
[06:35] <wols_> !fixres |ikasa4
[06:35] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, i386
[06:35] <ikasa4> lot of thanks, i\ll try then
[06:35] <oldbluebox> PM: ok it's downloading the .deb file
[06:36] <Decepticon> Amun oh hmmm, i was hoping for some first hand experience of someone using s-video out (or any tv-out) with a graphics card by nvidi
[06:36] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, k, after that's done, install it in Ubuntu and do:- sudo nvidia-xconfig
[06:36] <Decepticon> and one that would work for mythtv
[06:36] <racarter> does anyone use xfce4-terminal?
[06:36] <Amun> Decepticon: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814145067R
[06:36] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, once you reconfigure, restart the X-Server by pressing Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace
[06:36] <Amun> just get that
[06:36] <fma243> btw where to get banshee audio
[06:37] <Bodsda> fma243, i would try googling it
[06:37] <fma243> !find banshee
[06:37] <Decepticon> Amun hmm ok.
[06:37] <fma243> i think its in synaptic
[06:37] <mydoghasworms> How do I set a the pictures screensaver to show only pictures from a certain folder?
[06:37] <Amun> more bang for the buck, and i'm sure s-video works great on it. s-video is s-video. not some high-tech feature only a few cards have.
[06:38] <PmDematagoda_> bloody hell
[06:38] <Bodsda> fma243, someone mentioned that the latest version may not be in synaptic but there are older versions
[06:38] <oldbluebox> pm: can I just install the deb file from the usb stick?
[06:38] <PmDematagoda_> I didnt see the Intrepid release
[06:38] <PmDematagoda_> :/
[06:38] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, sure
[06:38] <oldbluebox> ok
[06:38] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, what intrepid release???
[06:38] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/alpha-1/
[06:39] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, Note: no one tell me about alpha being unstable, im aware -- PmDematagoda do you think its stable enough to test? bearing in mind im not amazingly technical
[06:40] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, I dont know if it's stable yet, I didnt try it:)
[06:40] <oldbluebox> PM: sorry, one sec, girlfriend called
[06:40] <Bllz> does anybody know how to get a 3rd generation ipod nano to work with a music player like banshee?
[06:40] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, np
[06:40] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, are you planning on testing?
[06:40] <Gault> Hello, how do i get ubuntu to recognize a raid set? its hardware sata RAID, it shows up in bios post as a healthy set.. but gparted shows the 2 individual devices both unallocated space
[06:40] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, of course:)
[06:41] <Jangari> is there an easy way to run an x session from a remote server? Can I boot straight to a remote server using grub, for instance?
[06:41] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, in vbox or gonna risk your system ;~)?
[06:41] <oldbluebox> ok sorry pm: it's installed, now what command do you want me to run at the terminal?
[06:41] <Bllz> How can I get a 3rd generation ipod nano to sync with a music player like banshee?
[06:42] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, risk my system, what else:D
[06:42] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, sudo nvidia-xconfig
[06:42] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, breaking things is fun, il think il do a dist upgrade later today ;~)
[06:42] <rabelais> Jangari, google for LTSP
[06:42] <Bodsda> !repeat | Bllz
[06:42] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, hehe
[06:42] <oldbluebox> ok leme pastebin
[06:43] <Bllz> Bosoda:  yeah i already checked google, ubuntu forums, linux forums, etc...
[06:43] <racarter> is there a way in vim to set tabs to be 4 spaces?
[06:43] <racarter> and spaces not tab char
[06:43] <Bllz> sometimes things get missed in these channels...
[06:43] <RancidKraut> apt-get upgrade php5 doesn't upgrade my version of php5 to 5.2. packages.ubuntu.com lists 5.2 as the version of the php5 package.
[06:43] <razofur3> anyone know anything about vgextend ?
[06:43] <oldbluebox> PM: http://pastebin.com/m3c945020
[06:43] <RancidKraut> I'm at version 5.1.2 right now. What can I do to upgrade?
[06:43] <rabelais> racarter, google for: vim tabstop
[06:44] <Jangari> looking now, rabelais, but this is a red hat server who administrator won't allow installing any more software not recommended by red hat
[06:44] <rabelais> Jangari, then no
[06:44] <rabelais> Jangari, you can try vnc, but that's not exactly what you're looking for
[06:44] <Jangari> no, not really,
[06:44] <rabelais> Jangari, you can also try tunnelling X applications over ssh...but that's probably also not what you're looking for
[06:44] <Jangari> i can ssh in fine, i just want gui too\
[06:45] <Dr_willis_> racarter,  with vim i belive its possible to set the tabs to all sorts of things. :) i just dont rember how.
[06:45] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, pres Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace, then see if it works
[06:45] <Bodsda> racarter, google "vim cheatsheet ubuntu"
[06:45] <rabelais> Jangari, if you just want gui, then you can run an X app through an ssh tunnel
[06:45] <oldbluebox> PM: I pressed it, it's rebooting now
[06:45] <RancidKraut> apt-get upgrade php5 doesn't upgrade my version of php5 from 5.1.2 to 5.2. packages.ubuntu.com lists 5.2 as the PHP Version that php5 carries. What can I do to upgrade from 5.1.2 to 5.2?
[06:46] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, it doesn't reboot, it restarts X
[06:46] <rabelais> Jangari, just ssh with -X, ensure you have a local X server running (cygwin if on windows) and just run your application from the ssh terminal
[06:46] <oldbluebox> PM: it took me to the login screen
[06:46] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, there we go
[06:46] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, your problem is fixed :)
[06:46] <oldbluebox> well..
[06:46] <oldbluebox> um, it wont go larger than 800x600
[06:46] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, did it tell you anything about fail-safe?
[06:46] <oldbluebox> and it did before when I originally installed ubuntu
[06:46] <Dr_willis_> Bodsda,  cool.. setting http://www.viemu.com/vi-vim-cheat-sheet.gif as my desktop wallpaper. :P
[06:47] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, haha, one graph prob after the other, log in and see if theres any restricted drivers
[06:47] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, are you at the desktop?

[06:47] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, does it open?
[06:47] <Bodsda> Dr_willis_, haha, maybe subconsciously after a few years youll no everything about vim ;~)
[06:47] <rabelais> Jangari, I may also suggest using -C for compression if you're doing this over the internet
[06:47] <atallicus> bodsda I got it! Changed Windows Vista to Windows 2000 in wine, ran aoss and it works!
[06:48] <oldbluebox> PM: the no, nothing opens
[06:48] <atallicus> thankyou so much for the help
[06:48] <Bodsda> atallicus, ah, yes, your welcome, glad you figured it out ;~)
[06:48] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, does it give a command not found?
[06:48] <rabelais> Jangari, X forwarding happens to be pitifully inefficient and very bandwidth heavy
[06:48] <atallicus> you guys have a great night and thankyou again!
[06:48] <oldbluebox> it just brings up another line
[06:48] <Bodsda> bye atallicus

[06:49] <Bodsda> Dr_willis_, yeah, his books r good
[06:49] <Jangari> whoa, that was trippy
[06:50] <oldbluebox> weird, it says command not found
[06:50] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, do:- sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings, if it asks you to remove some stuff, dont allow it to, just post it
[06:51] <Bodsda> Dr_willis_, vimtutor is good aswell
[06:51] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, whoa, you dont have net right?
[06:52] <mluser-home> is there a amd64 ubuntu channel?
[06:52] <Bodsda> mluser-home, no, you can ask questions in here, theres no seperate channel
[06:52] <oldbluebox> pm: no I don't
[06:52] <mluser-home> Bodsda: thanks

[06:52] <RancidKraut> apt-get upgrade php5 doesn't upgrade my version of php5 from 5.1.2 to 5.2. packages.ubuntu.com lists 5.2 as the PHP Version that php5 carries. What can I do to upgrade from 5.1.2 to 5.2?

[06:52] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, after that's done, do gksudo nvidia-settings again
[06:53] <mluser-home> Anyone know if the sun java browser plugin is available for amd64 linux yet?
[06:53] <Fungusman> I'm trying to find the config file so I can change the save path. Tried google,
[06:53] <MrLukipela> So.. after a fresh install, when i go to terminal, for a command prompt, the system logs me off
[06:53] <Fungusman> lol
[06:53] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  yes i do, But ive never altered its savepath.
[06:53] <Fungusman> Thanks Dr.
[06:54] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  check the manpage? or the programs homepage.
[06:54] <Fungusman> I did, they only explain where the default path is.
[06:54] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  its a very basic progam. it may not even have a config.  :)
[06:54] <PmDematagoda_> anyone here knows AppArmor? I need some help with it
[06:55] <notaguest> can i disable screen savers in xorg.conf?
[06:55] <Tweaker> Hello all, I got a few more questions tonight.
[06:55]  * Bodsda is so tempted to shout 'man page' at PmDematagoda ;~)
[06:55] <oldbluebox> PM: a prompt came up, says: you do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver. please edit your x configuration file etc.
[06:55]  * MrLukipela is going crazy trying to figure out this bug.
[06:55] <Tweaker> How would I go about running FPS Creator and FPS Creator x10 on wine?
[06:55] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  on the cheese web page. the beta version has --> add the possibility to change the path, where photos and videos are stored
[06:55] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, that means its not complete, can you post the output of:- cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:56] <Fungusman> Oh great !
[06:56] <Fungusman> Must not be in the repos
[06:56] <Bodsda> Fungusman, if you downloaded the source code, it probably wouldnt be to hard to alter the default file path
[06:56] <oldbluebox> roger that
[06:56] <Fungusman> k
[06:56] <QAH> I need some help with my 3d desktop for ubuntu.
[06:56] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  Correct.. the cheese in repos is about 3+ mo old.
[06:56] <MrLukipela> So.. after a fresh install, when i go to terminal, for a command prompt, the system logs me off.  This is after updating my video drivers.
[06:56] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  so id say go grab the beta.
[06:56] <notaguest> fglrx 8.6 gives me segmentations faults after installing in hardy anyone know the cause?
[06:56] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_ in the hardy repos?
[06:57] <puff_> why do auto updates break things ffs
[06:57] <Tweaker> So how would I go about updating direct X on linux?
[06:57] <Fungusman> Dr Willis, web url are you using ?
[06:57] <QAH> How come my 3d desktop cube only is a two-sided plane? Even when I put 4 desktops, it is only 2 sided. What is the problem?
[06:57] <PmDematagoda_> Tweaker, direct X on Linux? You mean through Wine?
[06:57] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  the cheese homepage
[06:57] <Tweaker> PmDematagoda Yes threw wine.
[06:57] <bman> can someone point me to a howto on posting a kernel patch?
[06:57] <puff_> QAH: As soon as you find out let me know please..
[06:57] <Dr_willis_> http://www.gnome.org/projects/cheese/
[06:57] <Jordan_U> Tweaker, The best you can do is get the latest version of wine
[06:57] <Tweaker> Jordan_U:  Would that possible help?
[06:57] <PmDematagoda_> Tweaker, oh, k
[06:58] <Tweaker> I need direct x 9.0c
[06:58] <oldbluebox> PM: http://pastebin.com/m3df20dea
[06:58] <PmDematagoda_> bman, what's the patch?
[06:58] <QAH> puff_: You are having the same trouble?
[06:58] <crimsun_> bman: to Ubuntu?
[06:58] <bman> adding support for rockband guitar to the xpad driver in the kernel
[06:58] <Jordan_U> Tweaker, What problem are you having?
[06:59] <MrLukipela> So.. after a fresh install, when i go to terminal, for a command prompt, the system logs me off.  This is after updating my video drivers.
[06:59] <puff_> QAH: yes, it just looks like a piece of paper when i rotate
[06:59] <bman> i would think it would be better directly in the kernel than ubuntu specific
[06:59] <Bodsda> QAH, puff -- install compiz-config-settings manager     --       sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings manager        then run     ccsm          go to general plugin, desktop size tab change top slider to 4
[06:59] <Tweaker> Jordan_U: I need an updated version of Direct X for FPSMaker X10, and for some odd reason FPS Maker [XP] crashes on start up, with an unknowen error.
[06:59] <Jordan_U> MrLukipela, Are you using compiz?
[06:59] <notaguest> I now hate AMD/ATI
[06:59] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  you can get the latest from cvs with  svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/cheese/trunk cheese  - but i dont rember how to compild the cvs version now.. :)
[06:59] <puff_> lets try that
[06:59] <minimaxe1> bman: isn't xpad a userspace driver?
[06:59] <Jordan_U> Tweaker, Try asking in #winehq
[06:59] <MrLukipela> Jordan_U, I cannot tell, i dont believe so.
[06:59] <Tweaker> Ok
[06:59] <Tweaker> Thank you
[06:59] <QAH> Bodsda: I have done that, but when I set it to 4 it still is flat.
[07:00] <Jordan_U> Tweaker, np
[07:00] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, do:- sudo modprobe nvidia
[07:00] <wols_> Tweaker: this is ubuntu related how?
[07:00] <Bodsda> Im starting think the desktop cube is the only reason some people are switching
[07:00] <puff_> no
[07:00] <oldbluebox> pm: FATAL: error running install command for nvidia
[07:00] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, do you get any errors?
[07:00] <puff_> its my friends laptop

[07:00] <QAH> Bodsda: What, I type that in the console?
[07:00] <MrLukipela> Jordan_U, im not versed in ubuntu very much, how do i tell if im using compiz ??
[07:00] <oldbluebox> pm: when i look at drivers, it says that the nvidia driver is "not in use"
[07:00] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, hehe, there we are, now run:- sudo modprobe -i nvidia
[07:01] <oldbluebox> oh ok
[07:01] <Jordan_U> MrLukipela, System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[07:01] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, does that work?
[07:01] <Bodsda> QAH, type this in a terminal                 compiz --replace
[07:01] <QAH> Okay. Will do
[07:01] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, if so, restart X and see if it works
[07:01] <oldbluebox> pm, it doesn't do anything
[07:01] <oldbluebox> just gives me another line
[07:01] <Jordan_U> MrKennie, If yo are using anything other than "none" in visual effects then you are using compiz
[07:01] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, if things are ok, just restart the PC and see if it is still ok
[07:01] <oldbluebox> unless that means it worked
[07:01] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, error?
[07:01] <oldbluebox> no errors
[07:01] <oldbluebox> just another line
[07:02] <MrLukipela> Jordan_U heh i dont even have a Preferences in system.
[07:02] <QAH> Bodsda: Should I set the desktop number to 4 before resetting compiz?
[07:02] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, no error usually means it worked
[07:02] <oldbluebox> oh
[07:02] <oldbluebox> ok what's the command to restart x again?
[07:02] <raitann> ctrl+alt+backspace
[07:02] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace
[07:02] <oldbluebox> thanks
[07:02] <Bodsda> QAH, yes, then close ccsm then replace compiz
[07:02] <Jordan_U> MrLukipela, What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[07:03] <MrLukipela> 8.04
[07:03] <QAH> Bodsda: Okay

[07:03] <minimaxe1> Bodsda: i think the 3D effects are magnetic to the wrong type of people, though
[07:03] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, what's the res?
[07:03] <Bodsda> puff, no probs
[07:03] <Dr_willis_> 'Eye candy - causes Ocular Cavaties'
[07:03] <mftom> can anyone recommend a good web design editor to use?
[07:03] <oldbluebox> still 800x600, with no option to make larger
[07:03] <Bodsda> minimaxe1, i agree!! the come they get they bitch!!
[07:03] <mftom> i downloaded amaya but i dont like it
[07:03] <Jordan_U> !html | mftom
[07:04] <QAH> Bodsda: That didn't help.
[07:04] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox,  ok, run nvidia-settings again
[07:04] <Bodsda> mftom, gedit or vim
[07:04] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox,  see if it works this time
[07:04] <Bodsda> QAH, ask in #compiz-fusion
[07:04] <mftom> thanks guys
[07:04] <mftom> i heard of gedit
[07:04] <Dr_willis_> msshams,  theres not  much of a reason to get a macbook to run linux.  You may want to check out the Dell Linux laptops for the least hassles.
[07:04] <mftom> i dont like kompozer either
[07:04] <mftom> :(
[07:04] <oldbluebox> pm: it says that i'm not using the nvidia x driver
[07:05] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, hmm
[07:05] <oldbluebox> PM: when I pull up system, admin: drivers, it says that the driver is not in use
[07:05] <MrLukipela> dr_Willis, if you ever need help dont call dell though, linux is treated as a joke within their technical support department.
[07:05] <oldbluebox> PM: do I need to enable it?
[07:05] <Jordan_U> msshams, Dell sells laptops with Ubuntu pre-installed
[07:05] <Dr_willis_> MrLukipela,  I never call tech support for anything.
[07:05] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, can you post the output of:- cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[07:05] <minimaxe1> Dr_willis_: msshams: unless you want a macbook air... that's a reason to get a mac even if you could care less about OS X
[07:06] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, you have to switch  it on either by loading it or correctly configuring X
[07:06] <Jordan_U> MrLukipela, That's because Dell doesn't provide the support, if you want commercial support you pay for it from canonical when you buy the computer ( or after )
[07:06] <Dr_willis_> I got linux working good on my new HP laptop  i got last week. :) even the webcam works.
[07:06] <alexweb> hi. i need to make an install ubuntu cd with some additional packages (development tools, web-server, etc...). Is there any software I can use?
[07:06] <fma243> how to get banshee
[07:07] <superbenny> sudo aptitude install banshee
[07:07] <fma243> !find banshee
[07:07] <minimaxe1> MrLukipela: the bad tech support is everywhere though. HP wanted me to install windows XP again.. I gave up, had a friend try fixing it and found the video card and disk were both fried
[07:07] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_, a Presario?
[07:07] <MrLukipela> Jordan_U, dell provides support for ubuntu, i work across teh hall from teh team that does it.  They just dont take it seriously at all :D  They send people here quite often.
[07:07] <raheem> I have three flavours of Linux (Ubuntu 8.04, Slackware 12.0, Mandriv) on my HP 6720s
[07:07] <fma243> oh btw i have another question my sound drivers arent working since i installed ubuntu can anyone help
[07:07] <Jordan_U> MrLukipela, Why do they offer support from Canonical then?
[07:08] <MrLukipela> No clue what they do on the sales side, i just know they have a team that handles support for it.
[07:08] <apinunt> Ubuntu 7.04 - For weeks now when checking for package updates, every package titled "Translations-EN_us" has failed. I have tried nearly every repository with the same result.  The same occurs using Adept Manager, and the command line apt get update. Anyone know how to resolve this?
[07:08] <Tidus> update to 8.04?
[07:08] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  yea.  I forget the exact make/model. I got the lid closed.   it was the special edition in black with the purty gfx on the outside and nvidia card, turion cpu, 4 gb ram,  250gb hd.
[07:09] <maco> msshams: i just bought a laptop from ZaReason with ubuntu preinstalled. i like it.
[07:09] <revilodraw> what is avahi?
[07:09] <Jordan_U> apinunt, Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[07:09] <maco> revilodraw: ever see bonjour on a mac?
[07:09] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  it was on sale  total  with tax;'s $800
[07:09] <maco> revilodraw: it lets you browse network devices
[07:09] <oldbluebox> PM: http://pastebin.com/m12a62e72
[07:09] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_, nice PC:), I installed Fedora 9 on my V3005TU, works like a real charm
[07:09] <PmDematagoda_> hey maco
[07:09] <raheem> !avahi | revilodraw
[07:09] <maco> MrLukipela: i thought they only supported the hardware, not the software
[07:09] <crimsun_> (make sure you ask maco about the new laptop's mic)
[07:09] <maco> PmDematagoda_: hey
[07:10] <revilodraw> maco: ok, because im being told 'the interface does not exist', but i can select wlan0:avahi??
[07:10] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  only thing i had to 'tweak' was the wireless.. ended up using ndiswrappers for it. I was amazed that the webcam worked.
[07:10] <maco> crimsun_: it works. i'm just dumb.
[07:10] <maco> crimsun_: got an Express Card so I can test that slot?
[07:10] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_, lol, all the stuff in my lappy works out of the box, it's all Intel:)
[07:11] <maco> crimsun_: i have plenty of finger prints and visual things to test the lack of support for the fingerprint scanner and webcam they say doesn't exist
[07:11] <MrLukipela> maco, depends on how much you pay for support.  for basic level support they just do hardware, anything higher and they will do software.
[07:11] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  i was looking at the Dells they had in store.. but this one was the best 'value' :)  getting scary that laptops have 4gb of ram
[07:11] <crimsun_> maco: nope, sorry, no fancyschmancy.  And no, you're not dumb- it's just Sunday, and you're tired.  :-)
[07:11] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_, you might not have to reconfigure anything once NM 0.7 comes with Intrepid :)
[07:12] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  yea - theres some issue/bugs with the bcm 4310 chipset it seems. is why i had to mess with it.
[07:12] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_, Im looking more at System76, they seem to be rather good
[07:12] <crimsun_> maco: ...but if you're reading for some more hacking, that stuff can be made to work.
[07:12] <raheem> Dr_willis: My HP 6720s .. i had probs with wireless in Ubuntu 7.10 (and all the distros i tried) .. had to use ndiswrapper.. But, when, now, I am using 8.04 & it works without it :)
[07:12] <crimsun_> err, reading->ready
[07:13] <karen> does anybody have a hp tx2000 with a successfully configured wacom tablet?
[07:13] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  i go to local BestBuy and see what they got on sale normally. :) got 6 mo at 0% interest. if i had spent a little more it would been 0% for 2 years..  heh.
[07:13] <maco> crimsun_: which stuff?
[07:13] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  imjust a 'impulse' buyer.
[07:13] <crimsun_> maco: webcam, fp scanner.
[07:13] <maco> crimsun_: the webcam that lacks drivers and the fingerprint scanner that's in-progress?
[07:13] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_, same thing could be said about me:)
[07:13] <crimsun_> maco: sí
[07:14] <oldbluebox> PM: sorry, did you get the link I sent you for the pastebin?
[07:14] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, reboot your PC, start Ubuntu in Recovery Mode
[07:14] <Morkar> Hi
[07:14] <oldbluebox> okay
[07:14] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, dont worry dude, I was looking at it:)
[07:14] <oldbluebox> I feel like a real pain in the ass
[07:14] <maco> crimsun_: testing suspend and hibernate. brb
[07:14] <karen> does anybody have a hp tx2000 with a successfully configured wacom tablet?
[07:14] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, of course not:), everyone has these troubles once in a while
[07:15] <Morkar> I am back Online again, my Provider needed 3 Month to set up the Internet Connection...
[07:15] <apinunt> Jordan_U: done - http://paste.ubuntu.com/23660/
[07:15] <oldbluebox> PM: which recovery mode, there's kernel 2.6.24-19 and 2.6.24-16
[07:15] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, whoa, whoa
[07:15] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, now this gets a bit bad
[07:15] <oldbluebox> oh crap
[07:15] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, what kernel did you run earlier?
[07:15] <oldbluebox> No idea.
[07:16] <oldbluebox> there are 5 options
[07:16] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, now the fact is that the Nvidia driver module you got is made for one particular kernel
[07:16] <maco_> crimsun_: suspend works
[07:16] <oldbluebox> 2 kernels, each with it's own recovery mode, and a memtest86+
[07:16] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, it's usually -19 since its the latest
[07:16] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, boot up the -19 kernel in normal mode
[07:16] <oldbluebox> roger that
[07:17] <oldbluebox> ...booting
[07:17] <chasetoys_> if i had to run fsck manually (and fixed *BUNCHES* of errors) ; but segate's dos say that the drive is good... can i relax that the drive is good?
[07:17] <chasetoys_> segates's DOS thing
[07:17] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, if that doesn't work then there are other ways, but that requires you to mess around in Ubuntu Packages unless you get a net connection
[07:18] <oldbluebox> it still says that ubuntu is running in low graphics mode, do I want to continue or configure"?
[07:18] <oldbluebox> says my screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly
[07:18] <QAH> I found out how to make the flat plane turn into a cube
[07:18] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, don't continue, just switch to a tty by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1
[07:18] <QAH> Who was the one that needed help with that?
[07:19] <PmDematagoda_> then do:- sudo modprobe -i nvidia
[07:19] <PmDematagoda_> and restart X with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:20] <QAH> Pyth_: Were you the one that needed help with the desktop cube?
[07:20] <hwilde> what's the fastest way to make a backup so I can undo if the upgrades break my computer
[07:20] <oldbluebox> it came up with a screen, says there already appears to be an X server running on display :0
[07:20] <oldbluebox> asking if another display should be tried? yes or no
[07:20] <PmDematagoda_> maco, do you have some good experience with AppArmor?
[07:20] <pen> I have a question
[07:20] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, no
[07:20] <jaminkle> whats the best mp3 codec to use.. the one i got from add/remove is so bad
[07:20] <mgolisch> jaminkle: ??
[07:20] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, do:- sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:21] <pen> why is the systray not using the 16x16 icon while the panel has been resized to 16
[07:21] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, and then:- sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[07:21] <oldbluebox> PM, I hit no, it went to the terminal, then it popped up with another screen askin gthe same question again
[07:21] <adityag> whats the cmd to download and install mysql ?
[07:21] <QAH> Which one of you guys also had the trouble with the 3d desktop? I forgot your name.
[07:21] <BoltClock> adityag: sudo apt-get install mysql-server i think
[07:21] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, hmm, ok, then press Ctrl+C
[07:21] <webcamwonder> Anyone knows howto directly make Mplayer work with youtube-dl?
[07:21] <pen> why is the systray not using the 16x16 icon while the panel has been resized to 16
[07:21] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, then continue with the other commands I provided
[07:22] <jaminkle> i got the GStreamer codec packs
[07:22] <jaminkle> are they bad or something?
[07:22] <oldbluebox> ok, it started the GNOME display manager
[07:22] <mgolisch> jaminkle: usualy not, whats the problem?
[07:22] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, now switch back with Ctrl+Alt+F7
[07:22] <mgolisch> jaminkle: mp3 works well here
[07:23] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, do you get the login screen?
[07:23] <oldbluebox> its telling me that ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode again
[07:23] <oldbluebox> continue?
[07:23] <jaminkle> when ever i do anything it laggs the sound
[07:23] <jaminkle> like click on a menu
[07:23] <mgolisch> whenever you do what?
[07:23] <pen> why is the systray not using the 16x16 icon while the panel has been resized to 16
[07:23] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, no, if you want we can try installing the driver manually
[07:24] <oldbluebox> PM: would this be a lot easier if I had an internet connection?
[07:24] <MrLukipela> ...
[07:24] <mgolisch> pen: because whatever application it is that displays that tray icon doesnt have that size for its icon?
[07:24] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, yes, it would be very much easier
[07:24] <oldbluebox> okay, i'll have to do it tomorrow then.
[07:24] <oldbluebox> bleh.
[07:24] <Fungusman> I'm having trubles making a file
[07:24] <Fungusman> I downloaded the newest version of cheese
[07:24] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, k, then start up a thread on Ubuntu Forums
[07:25] <Fungusman> and I type MAKE INSTALL
[07:25] <oldbluebox> you probably won't be around, but what commands do I need to run in the terminal to make it run?
[07:25] <Fungusman> and it doesnt do anything
[07:25] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, we'll continue from there
[07:25] <mgolisch> jaminkle: something must be wrong then, it doesnt happen here
[07:25] <oldbluebox> err, so just start up a thread and copy pasta you the link?
[07:25] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, just the commands may not be enough
[07:26] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, no, just start a thread, give the stuff you've done and once you connect to the net, post in it again or send me a PM
[07:26] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, Im PmDematagoda :)
[07:26] <MrLukipela> Any reason why updating my video drivers would make terminal crash my laptop whenever i try to load it?
[07:26] <oldbluebox> Pm: what's weird is when I originally installed ubuntu, it was running at 1024x768, then I messed around with the appearence visual effects and it got all screwed up after that reboot
[07:27] <maco__> pen: because if the image is 16x16 and there's a 1px buffer on top and bottom of the image, you need an 18px panel, i think
[07:27] <adityag> i want to conf file of the panel of the current user and want to replace this conf file with another user's conf
[07:27] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, that was with the vesa driver
[07:27] <mgolisch> MrLukipela: find out why it does that opening xterm and start whatever terminal you usualy use from that xterm, it might tell you whats wrong
[07:27] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, do you want effects?
[07:27] <oldbluebox> not at this point
[07:27] <oldbluebox> right now all I want is it to just be at 1024x768
[07:27] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, you can run X with the vesa rather well, but no effects or such
[07:27] <oldbluebox> like, that's it
[07:27] <oldbluebox> can I do that now?
[07:28] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, just do:- sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[07:28] <maco> oldbluebox: pmd is a mod on there.  you can pm him the link from inside the forum
[07:28] <MrLukipela> as soon as i select terminal from accessories the system crashes.
[07:28] <oren> any recommendations for a text-based p2p app?
[07:28] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, that command doesnt work
[07:28] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, then see if that makes an improvement
[07:28] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, ?
[07:28] <maco> oldbluebox: if pmd's ok wih that, i mean
[07:28] <the1> hi
[07:28] <bazhang> PmDematagoda_, that was for gutsy
[07:28] <maco> the1: welcome to the matrix
[07:28] <the1> yaa
[07:29] <oldbluebox> PM: it asked if I want to use kernel framebuffer device interface
[07:29] <PmDematagoda_> maco, Im cool with that:)
[07:29] <oldbluebox> yes or no?
[07:29] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, the graphics config part of   dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg has been removed in hardy
[07:29] <the1> maco: how to setup my ssh server
[07:29] <the1> ?
[07:29] <maco> PmDematagoda_: i just realized i was encouraging breaking a rule :P
[07:29] <PmDematagoda_> bazhang, doesnt it work in Hardy anymore? or has xfix completely taken over?
[07:29] <ilmiyATI> HAY KENALAN YO?
[07:29] <maco> the1: install openssh-server
[07:29] <bazhang> gksudo displayconfig-gtk is the new one PmDematagoda_
[07:29] <PmDematagoda_> maco, np :)
[07:29] <bazhang> ilmiyATI, english please
[07:30] <MrLukipela> bazhang, i did that last night and now i cant get my terminal to load :(
[07:30] <PmDematagoda_> bazhang, no, that's for the old Screen Resolution app, this is dpkg itself
[07:30] <maco> !sp | ilmiyATI
[07:30] <maco> !es | ilmiyATI
[07:30] <bazhang> PmDematagoda_, not for hardy it isnt
[07:30] <oldbluebox> Pm: should I hit yes or no?
[07:30] <adityag> i want to conf file of the panel of the current user and want to replace this conf file with another user's conf.......any help will be appreciated
[07:30] <maco> PmDematagoda_: dpkg's way hasn't worked since feisty
[07:30] <Jordan_U> MrLukipela, Try alt+f2 and run "xterm"
[07:30] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, yes for what?
[07:30] <oldbluebox> a screen popped up, says
[07:31] <PmDematagoda_> maco, really?
[07:31] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, kernel framebuffer
[07:31] <oldbluebox> do I want to use kernel fraebuffer device interface
[07:31] <christoz> hello what's the syntax in order to unxup a .zip file into usr/local?
[07:31] <MrLukipela> yay that came up
[07:31] <christoz> unzip*
[07:31] <mgolisch> anonlol: the panels config is mostlikely stored in gconf
[07:31] <christoz> !unzip
[07:31] <PmDematagoda_> whoa
[07:31] <MrLukipela> Now how do i fix it so the other one doesnt crash?
[07:31] <Kitu> [08:29:04] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, the graphics config part of   dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg has been removed in hardy << why ?
[07:31] <maco> PmDematagoda_: feisty was the last time that worked.  gutsy and hardy just say "backing up already setup xorg.conf" and then exit without letting you make changes
[07:31] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, yes
[07:31] <mgolisch> ups i meant adityag
[07:31] <mgolisch> :)
[07:31] <oldbluebox> its auto detecting keyboard and stuff
[07:31] <PmDematagoda_> maco, ah, thanks for that
[07:32] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, did you specify a driver?
[07:32] <the1> maco> done already
[07:32] <apinunt_> Jordan_U: Did you respond earlier? I seemed to have lost my connection and had to reconnect.
[07:32] <oldbluebox> PM: it closed out and brought up another line, do I restart X?
[07:32] <maco> Kitu: so you can do hotswap stuff.  now you can plug in a monitor or a projector and have it work right away instead of needing to boot with it plugged in
[07:32] <Bodsda> Kitu, no idea, boot to recovery mode choose 'fix x' is apperently the new solution according to the devs
[07:32] <adityag> mgolisch: where do i find gconf ?
[07:32] <maco> the1: uh, so what else do you ned to do?
[07:32] <Jordan_U> apinunt, What problem were / are you having?
[07:32] <oldbluebox> Pm: how do I specify a driver?
[07:32] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, no, before that, post the output of:- cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:32] <maco> Kitu: but to do that they had to take out all the manual stuff from xorg.conf
[07:32] <Kitu> ok ok
[07:33] <the1> maco : got 1 modem and 1 router
[07:33] <xbj9000> christoz having trouble unzipping something?  lol
[07:33] <miguelrsilva> I,m installing ubuntu-8.04-server-i386, and it didn't detected my drive. but there is a sata disk pluged in. is there a problem with sata disks and ubuntu-8.04-server-i386?
[07:33] <the1> maco: and 1 public IP
[07:33] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, you wont need to do that, but can you post the output of the command?
[07:33] <maco> the1: ok....? so daisy chain the router to the modem to the internet and connect yourself to the router...i dont get it
[07:33] <apinunt_> Jordan_U: Updating packages in synaptic.
[07:33] <maco> the1: and you want to know how to set up port forwarding on your router?
[07:33] <oldbluebox> sure, posting
[07:33] <adityag> mgolisch: actually i deleted most of the shortcuts of the default panel....so i want to reload it
[07:33] <maco> the1: that'd be a question for the router's documentation
[07:33] <PmDematagoda_> maco, summer hols?
[07:33] <Jordan_U> apinunt, Ahh, no, I didn't see your pastebin if you posted one
[07:34] <maco> PmDematagoda_: huh?
[07:34] <the1> maco: yaaa...but on my router or modem
[07:34] <PmDematagoda_> maco, summer holidays?
[07:34] <maco> the1: if they both do dhcp, then both
[07:34] <maco> PmDematagoda_: yes
[07:34] <maco> PmDematagoda_: but i work
[07:34] <maco> PmDematagoda_: but it's a weekend
[07:34] <the1> maco: yaa got dhcp
[07:34] <apinunt_> Jordan_U: Idid a pastebin of /etc/apt/sources.list to  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23660/  as requested.
[07:34] <PmDematagoda_> maco, lol, just wondering:)
[07:34] <the1> maco: on modem what port should I put
[07:34] <L1nc01n> Hey, does anyone know how video download helper works in Firefox if I want to rip a youtube video?
[07:34] <maco> the1: er, i didnt mean dhcp, i meant NAT
[07:35] <webcamwonder> Quick question guys, is the Native Flash implmentation in Linux supposed to be really flaky?
[07:35] <maco> the1: 22 is always ssh or sftp
[07:35] <mgolisch> adityag: the settings are stored in xml files somewhere in ~/.gconf, there is and editor: gconf-editor and some management tool gconftool the later can be used to export the settings and iam quite sure you can import it back using that for the other user
[07:35] <oldbluebox> PM: http://pastebin.com/m5225f7bb
[07:35] <webcamwonder> L1nc01n: Yes
[07:35] <bazhang> L1nc01n, you want to dl youtube?
[07:35] <miguelrsilva> I,m installing ubuntu-8.04-server-i386, and it didn't detected my drive. but there is a sata disk pluged in. is there a problem with sata disks and ubuntu-8.04-server-i386? is there a specific driveR that I should choose?
[07:35] <sweetgu1> Can someone tell me why apt-file doesn't return a response?
[07:35] <Bodsda> L1nc01n, yes, you load the youtube vid, untill its fully buffered, then click the icon to the right of the url bar, then choose one of the options (just trial and error till you get the correct one)
[07:35] <xbj9000> l1nc01n I don't know but I use the keepit.com bookmark
[07:35] <christoz> xbj9000 yes i do... i want to unzip a tomcat bundle into a dir i've created in usr/local but the error is "caution: filename not matched:"
[07:35] <Jordan_U> apinunt, Try switching to the default mirror in System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[07:35] <cstrazzer> hello guys, id like to know how can i join prospective developers team?
[07:36] <webcamwonder> !youtube-dl | L1nc01n
[07:36] <maco> the1: it's possible to do it on other ports if you need to ssh through somewhere that doesn't allow you to use ssh connections...sshing over 443 is generally safe since 443 is https so everybody allows it
[07:36] <bazhang> !info youtube-dl | L1nc01n
[07:36] <webcamwonder> bazhang: Beat me to it :P
[07:36] <the1> maco: then I should put port 22 on my modem and router.
[07:36] <Bodsda> bazhang, firefox plugin download  helper is much better ;~)
[07:36] <maco> the1: try just the router first. if that doesnt work, then modem too
[07:36] <Fungusman> Hey guys, how do I find and install intltools 0.40  ?
[07:36] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, try restarting X
[07:36] <adityag> mgolisch: can u help me restoring back that panel ?
[07:36] <bazhang> Bodsda, :)
[07:36] <Fungusman> I can;t find it anywhere and my program wont install without it
[07:36] <xbj9000> l1nc01n, also, after buffering a youtube video, it is located in /tmp and you could save it from there
[07:36] <oldbluebox> ctrl shift f2
[07:36] <sweetgu1> Has anyone heard of applet-widget.h?
[07:36] <oldbluebox> right?
[07:37] <kingfishr> yay first time I've used ubuntu...major complaint: what is the menu that pops up when I alt-right click on a window, and how can I make that resize instead?
[07:37] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, are you in a tty?
[07:37] <lullideath> hey guys, anyone knows to how download stage tar from multiple servers??
[07:37] <Bodsda> bazhang, it can download any embedded video not just youtube ;~)
[07:37] <oldbluebox> what's tty?
[07:37] <the1> maco: how about my machine, do I need to configure the IPTABLES
[07:37] <oldbluebox> i didn't restart x, i'm still sitting in the gui at the terminal
[07:37] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, a terminal, except it's fullscreen
[07:37] <PmDematagoda_> !tty
[07:37] <oldbluebox> oh, no I ahven't restarted x
[07:37] <lullideath> anyone knows how to download stage tar from multiple servers??
[07:37] <L1nc01n> oh gosh, okay thanks all
[07:37] <oldbluebox> ctrl shift f2 to restart X right?
[07:37] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, press Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace
[07:38] <oldbluebox> duh, sorry i'm trying to remember all of this
[07:38] <PmDematagoda_> !tty | oldbluebox
[07:38] <oldbluebox> ok, i'm at the ubuntu login
[07:38] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, lol:)
[07:38] <oldbluebox> ...logging in
[07:38] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, same res?
[07:38] <oldbluebox> it's still same res, but i'm going to see if it gives me an option to increase it
[07:38] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, k
[07:38] <oldbluebox> no option to increase
[07:38] <oldbluebox> blahhhhh
[07:38] <PmDematagoda_> hmm
[07:38] <S4nD3r> I have runned all this steps https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices , but I didnt get to solve my problem. Id like to automount/autoopen my usbstick, can I get some help ?
[07:39]  * PmDematagoda_ should have used nv
[07:39] <PmDematagoda_> :/
[07:39] <Kitu> maco, hotswap it's just for IDE devices
[07:39] <oldbluebox> i just want it to be the way it was when I first got it
[07:39] <xbj9000> another xorg issue oldbluebox?
[07:39] <maco> the1: iptables will automatically allow the daemon to listen on 22 when it's started
[07:39] <oldbluebox> I don't care about the effects
[07:39] <maco> Kitu: huh?
[07:39] <Bodsda> S4nD3r, you need to look into automounting fstab
[07:39] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, this time run:- sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:39] <Kitu> http://packages.ubuntu.com/fr/source/hardy/hotswap
[07:39] <PmDematagoda_> maco, is dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg still there?
[07:39] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, that command has nothing to do with graphics ;~) anymore
[07:40] <maco> Kitu: PmDematagoda_ dunno
[07:40] <oldbluebox> PM: do you still want me to type that in
[07:40] <oldbluebox> ?
[07:40] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, you're joking
[07:40] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, its still there but not the graphics config part
[07:40] <Kitu> ?
[07:40] <oldbluebox> XBJ, yeah i'm still havin gissues
[07:40] <bazhang> PmDematagoda_, no hes not
[07:40] <maco> Kitu: um i meant hotswap as in the term for plugging in hardware while the computer's running
[07:40] <S4nD3r> /dev/sdb1       /media/pendrive vfat    users,auto,uid=1000,gid=2000,umask=007  0       0
[07:40] <maco> Kitu: i didnt even know there was a package named that
[07:40] <S4nD3r> in fstab
[07:40] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, give me a minute
[07:40] <Kitu> ok
[07:40] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, so what's the new one?
[07:40] <w4> a
[07:40] <oldbluebox> ok
[07:40] <xbj9000> oldbluebox if the new xorg is not working for you, as seems to be common, I usually suggest booting a live Gutsy disc and saving the xorg.conf from there and using it
[07:40] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, reboot to recovery mode, and choose   'fix x'
[07:40] <apinunt_> Jordan_U: I did that and still fail on the Translation-en_US packages.
[07:40] <mgolisch> it will give back the std conf for sure, where no driver or other settings are set
[07:40] <the1> maco: ok
[07:41] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, ok
[07:41] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, i couldnt believe it either, it was an extremely frequently used command (with the -phigh) and they removed it!!
[07:41] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, like Bodsda said, reboot Ubuntu in Recovery Mode, then run Fix X.
[07:41] <xbj9000> oldbluebox I don't know what's up with Hardy's xorg but Gutsy usually gives me a better xorg.conf
[07:41] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, very true, it was really useful
[07:42] <maco> xbj9000: you mean instead of mostly blank?
[07:42] <NinjaBuntu> !shell
[07:42] <xbj9000> exactly
[07:42] <Dr_willis_> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - dosent work as well now with the 'minimal X config' stuff in the newer xorg.
[07:42] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, recovery mode is an option on the grub menu, and 'fix x' is also an option after youve done that
[07:42] <maco> xbj9000: the mostly blank is for the hotswappiness of new xorg
[07:42] <kingfishr> how can i disable the menu that pops up when I alt-right click a window?
[07:42] <Jordan_U> apinunt, Can you pastebin the output from an apt-get update?
[07:42] <NinjaBuntu> !autodeb
[07:42] <PmDematagoda_> maco, is it ok that I completely block packet forwarding on iptables?
[07:42] <xbj9000> maco explain?
[07:42] <Bodsda> !msgthebot | NinjaBuntu
[07:42] <maco> xbj9000: it lets you plug in a projector without rebooting or restarting X
[07:42] <maco> PmDematagoda_: *shrug* sure?
[07:42] <xbj9000> maco oh great I need to do that all the time...  :p
[07:43] <notaguest> how do i stop tv out from going into screen saver mode?
[07:43] <homecable> can any one test this for me http://joey.ath.cx/speedtest/ i need alot of people to load my server
[07:43] <PmDematagoda_> maco, lol
[07:43] <xbj9000> anyway maco, that's the work-arround I've had to use on a couple of machines
[07:43] <oldbluebox> I did fix x, it did something then brought up the recovery menu again
[07:43] <oldbluebox> now what?
[07:43] <maco> xbj9000: i assume that's sarcasm, but honestly when you have to give a presentation in class or at work you and the computer look pretty stupid fumbling about trying to get graphics working on the other screen while the windows and mac users plug in and go
[07:43] <bazhang> homecable, is that related to ubuntu support?
[07:43] <PmDematagoda_> xbj9000, take a look at the way Fedora makes it's xorg.conf's then talk about a minimal xorg.conf :D
[07:43] <miguelrsilva> I,m installing ubuntu-8.04-server-i386, and it didn't detected my drive. but there is a sata disk pluged in. is there a problem with sata disks and ubuntu-8.04-server-i386? is there a specific driveR that I should choose?
[07:43] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, run reboot
[07:44] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, then boot Ubuntu normally again
[07:44] <oldbluebox> booting
[07:44] <oldbluebox> BETTER!
[07:44] <oldbluebox> woooooot
[07:44] <NinjaBuntu> Hmmm anyone know aout AutoDeb?
[07:44] <PmDematagoda_> maco, excellent point
[07:44] <oldbluebox> awesome
[07:44] <oldbluebox> PM, lemme buy you a freaking beer
[07:44] <PmDematagoda_> maco, but the one you are talking about is XRandR
[07:44] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, working?
[07:44] <oldbluebox> well it's 1024x768
[07:44] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, you owe it to Bodsda though
[07:45] <oldbluebox> which is all I wanted in the first place
[07:45] <xbj9000> pmdematagoda, maco, oldbluebox, I don't know which way is best but I know it's given me and others some trouble and using the older version has worked well for my machines that have only one constant monitor
[07:45] <oldbluebox> oh ok i'll buy you both beers
[07:45] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, I thought the other commands work, but it seems that XFix is best
[07:45] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, oh, cool,.,. what did i do??
[07:45] <S4nD3r> what to do?
[07:45] <Kiba1> is it normal with *buntu that there's virtually no information in xorg.conf?
[07:45] <oldbluebox> PM, so basicly, i'm using whats called a vesa driver"?
[07:45] <Kiba1> it's really short :-s
[07:45] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, you provided Xfix(though I knew it in the first place:P)
[07:46] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, either that or you're using nv
[07:46] <oldbluebox> ok
[07:46] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, you must be using the nv driver
[07:46] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, hey! no stealing my thunder now!! im gonna dance the night away knowing i helped someone !! woot!!
[07:46] <maco> PmDematagoda_: i think the point of the minimal is so that XRandR doesn't get all WTF
[07:46] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, shut up and go away
[07:46] <PmDematagoda_> :P
[07:46] <PmDematagoda_> maco, yeppers, that's what
[07:46] <oldbluebox> I'm sorry, thanks for being patient with me, the laptop i've installed ubuntu on had a bad virus so I thought I would just reformat it with ubuntu for kicks and use the new laptop as my primary computer
[07:47]  * Bodsda cowers away
[07:47] <maco> PmDematagoda_: and i guess i could now pull the hard drive out of either of my Intel-based laptops and put it in the ATI-based one and be dandy
[07:47] <Rhamphoryncus> file:///usr/share/gnome/help/tomboy/C/figures/tomboy-preferences-synchronization.png
[07:47] <PmDematagoda_> maco, I think that's just part of the main picture
[07:47] <oldbluebox> Thanks Bodsda
[07:47] <oldbluebox> thanks Pm.
[07:47] <PmDematagoda_> maco, hotpluggable drives?
[07:47] <xbj9000> maco thanks for explaining it to me though, I've been wondering
[07:47] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, your welcome -- but PmDematagoda deserves the credit, he's been helpin you for ages, i was just lucky
[07:47] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, you're welcome, sorry it took so long
[07:48] <PmDematagoda_> maco, whoops, I get you
[07:48] <oldbluebox> yeah I think that took like 2 hours.
[07:48] <oldbluebox> ugh geez
[07:48] <notaguest> feel like helping me with my tv out on a ati X1250?
[07:48] <kuru> I have a gutsy installation and I am trying to reconfigure the timezone..
[07:48] <xbj9000> is there a way to use a different xorg or something, if you have those problems and don't need to plug anything?
[07:48] <PmDematagoda_> maco, but the Nvidia driver SUCKS on the latest X
[07:48] <kuru> tzconfig appears to be missing but tzselect is there
[07:48] <oldbluebox> thanks again, if you lived in the Dallas Texas area i'd buy you a beer for reals
[07:48] <PmDematagoda_> maco, when nouveau gets upto speed, that's where Im going
[07:48] <kuru> I have added the bit about TZ in the /etc/profile .. but I'm not sure it actually is doing what I think it should be
[07:48] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, lol, thanks for the offer :)
[07:48] <pen> why is the systray not using the 16x16 icon while the panel has been resized to 16
[07:49] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, i accept online purchases from www.tesco.co.uk
[07:49] <notaguest> My TV out goes black after a while and it is impossible to wake it up again
[07:49] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, :P
[07:49] <notaguest> screen saver is off under system prefs
[07:49] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, im jokin ;~)
[07:49] <Queti> hola manga de gay!!!!!!!
[07:50] <Queti> Bin laden = GOD
[07:50] <xbj9000> gtfo
[07:50] <sweetgu1> Can someone tell me how to find applet-widget.h
[07:50] <sweetgu1> Bin Laden! Tell!
[07:50] <Bodsda> bazhang, you evil man, not even a warning ;~)
[07:50] <oldbluebox> lol
[07:50] <PmDematagoda_> sweetgul, eh?
[07:50] <apinunt_> Jordan_U: output of apt-get update on  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23661/
[07:51]  * PmDematagoda_ is now a bit wary of bazhang :D
[07:51]  * Bodsda walks back into the room laughing at PmDematagoda
[07:51] <sweetgu1> PMDematagoda_: I'm trying to create a GNOME Applet, following the tutorial. The only include file necessary is applet-widget.h
[07:51]  * Bodsda then quickly runs away
[07:52] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, Ill catch you on UF
[07:52] <S4nD3r> my usbstick is here... connected, but not opened... what to do ?
[07:52] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, :P
[07:52] <Bodsda> uh oh
[07:52] <jeyk> Hi, I installed "pidentd" via apt-get, but I can't figure out how to tell Ubuntu to run it in the normal runlevels. I see reference to "update-rc.d" when I google, but there's no entry in /etc/init.d for pidentd.
[07:52] <sweetgu1> PmDematagoda_: Do you where I can finds it?
[07:52] <PmDematagoda_> sweetgul, I cant help you there unfortunately, I know a little about installing applets, but not creating them
[07:52] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, yeah well, erm,.,. guess what, errmm,.,. i no where u live!
[07:52] <bazhang> sweetgu1, apt-cache search filename or look on packages.ubuntu.com
[07:53] <sweetgu1> PmDematagoda_: Bummer.
[07:53] <sweetgu1> bazhang: I'll give that a try, apt-file didn't work
[07:53] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, and where do I live?
[07:53] <notaguest> how do i completly disable power saving to monitors?
[07:53] <bazhang> PmDematagoda_, Bodsda please chat in -ot
[07:53] <Bodsda> sorry bazhang
[07:53] <PmDematagoda_> bazhang, understood
[07:54] <sweetgu1> bazhang: No results are return when i Input "apt-cache search applet-widget.h"
[07:54] <Eleaf> yeah, apt-cache search doesn't search actual filenames very well sweetgu1
[07:54] <bazhang> sweetgu1, did you look on packages.ubuntu.com; also what is the link of the tutorial
[07:54] <sweetgu1> Eleaf: shucks.
[07:54] <S4nD3r> Which service is running in your gnome session with something about hal.. dbus.. gnome-volume-manager. Tell me to put in myone...
[07:55] <sweetgu1> bazhang: I did indeed. Let me grab you the link, one moment.
[07:55] <Kiba1> does anyone know why i get strange horizontal lines instead of a bootsplash screen?
[07:55] <dmseg> hey, is there an irc program for ubuntu 8.04??
[07:56] <jeyk> dmesg: there are many
[07:56] <Dr_willis_> dmseg,  several irc clients are there.
[07:56] <xbj9000> dmseg xchat
[07:56] <Dr_willis_> !irc | dmseg
[07:56] <bazhang> dmseg, yes
[07:56] <Dr_willis_> hmm.. wrong factoid. :)
[07:56] <Dr_willis_> or not. heh
[07:56] <jeyk> how do I add pidentd to ubuntu's list of services to run?
[07:57] <maco> dmseg: i use irssi
[07:57] <jeyk> I installed the package via apt-get but it doesn't seem to have an entry in /etc/init.d
[07:57] <DR_K13> wut
[07:57] <bullgard4> S4nD3r: What do you mean by 'connected' in "my usbstick is here... connected, but not opened"?
[07:57] <dmseg> x-chat only has fedora core 7(rpm not deb)
[07:57] <S4nD3r> its plugged
[07:57] <S4nD3r> but, not mounted
[07:57] <S4nD3r> neither browsed
[07:57] <maco> dmseg: just apt-get it
[07:57] <xbj9000> dmseg I'm using xchat right now, it's in the repositories
[07:57] <dmseg> kk thankx
[07:57] <bazhang> dmseg, sudo apt-get install xchat from the terminal
[07:58] <maco> dmseg: why hunt all over the internet when you can mark a checkbox in applications -> add/remove?
[07:58] <kuru> how do I change the date on my server!
[07:58] <kuru> and the time
[07:58] <maco> kuru: with the date command
[07:58] <xbj9000> maco, it's that bad habit from windows probably
[07:58] <kuru> maco, that doesn't do what I want
[07:58] <bullgard4> S4nD3r: This channel is very much populated. I you are talking to me, ölease prefix your message to me with my nick so that I am sure that you are talking to me.
[07:58] <jeyk> does the fact that "apt-get install pidentd" didnt leave anything in /etc/init.d indicate that its a bad package / shitty identd?
[07:58] <kuru> maco, it has the wrong timezone
[07:58] <kuru> maco, I can't select the timezone I want
[07:58] <Gnea> kuru: tzconfig
[07:59] <bullgard4> S4nD3r: please
[07:59] <bazhang> bullgard4, he means plugged into usb port
[07:59] <kuru> gnea, doesn't exist
[07:59] <bullgard4> bazhang: Aha!
[07:59] <bazhang> jeyk, no cursing
[07:59] <Gnea> kuru: sudo tzconfig  ?
[07:59] <maco> xbj9000: i know of that habit as "my brother has managed to download a .exe but can't figure out if he should hit Next, Back, or Cancel, so he's asking me to install stuff for him"
[07:59] <sweetgu1> bazhang: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/applet/changes.html Greybox#2 in the list
[07:59] <xbj9000> haha
[08:00] <Gnea> kuru: maybe tzselect
[08:00] <bazhang> sweetgu1, reading now
[08:00] <kuru> gnea, doesn't do shit
[08:00] <nandy_lost> can anyone solve my problem?
[08:00] <maco> xbj9000: he likes Add/Remove much better
[08:00] <Gnea> !language | kuru
[08:00] <S4nD3r> ..
[08:00] <maco> nandy_lost: bit more specific?
[08:00] <S4nD3r> turned back
[08:00] <kuru> gnea, ugh.. sorry.. frustrated (time is ticking)
[08:00] <xbj9000> maco I miss the useless 'modify' button
[08:00] <xbj9000> or whatever it was
[08:00] <nandy_lost> maco:yes
[08:01] <jeyk> bazhang: ok.
[08:01] <S4nD3r> so... as I said. My stick is plugged, but, I cant access it
[08:01] <S4nD3r> this is not mounted
[08:01] <jeyk> funny how i cant get answer to a dead simple question (how to start a service) but i get told not to curse :P
[08:01] <S4nD3r> and do not allows me to mount
[08:01] <maco> S4nD3r: does it show in "sudo fdisk -l" output?
[08:01] <bazhang> sweetgu1, applet-widget.h is a generic placeholder name
[08:01] <S4nD3r> I put in fstab
[08:01] <maco> jeyk: sudo /etc/init.d/<service-name> start
[08:01] <nandy_lost> i want to know whether an unallocated space can be mered with a free space on a hard disk?
[08:01] <nandy_lost> *merged
[08:02] <S4nD3r> when I try to mount... I have message" mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
[08:02] <maco> nandy_lost: if they are next to each other
[08:02] <nandy_lost> and if yes,how?
[08:02] <jeyk> maco: the pidentd package didn't leave anything in /etc/init.d -- sounds like a broken package, right?
[08:02] <kuru> gnea, ah.. I think it could be 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata'
[08:02] <xbj9000> nandy_lost use gparted
[08:02] <nandy_lost> yes jeyk
[08:02] <maco> jeyk: possibly
[08:02]  * jeyk tries yet another ident-server
[08:02] <Gnea> kuru: cat /etc/timezone   should tell you what you have currently set
[08:02] <adityag> i want the cmd to install postfix
[08:02] <skurakai> hi i have problem with keyboard. Ubuntu cant remember qwertz keyboard layout. On second start it was qwerty
[08:02] <sweetgu1> bazhang: Who's place is it holding?
[08:02] <nandy_lost> pls help me out
[08:02] <adityag> any help will be appreciated
[08:02] <Gnea> kuru: ah, you're right - nice
[08:02] <maco> kuru: also make sure you didn't do what i did and set your BIOS to local time so the timezone stuff throws it off by expecting UTC in the BIOS
[08:02] <Hobbsee> adityag: 'sudo apt-get install postfix'
[08:03] <jeyk> thanks maco, nandy_lost
[08:03] <Hobbsee> !apt-get > adityag
[08:03] <bazhang> sweetgu1, whatever applet-widget you create; that is just an example name
[08:03] <maco> nandy_lost: listen to xbj9000
[08:03] <xbj9000> nandy_lost if the free space is next to the partition you want to merge it with, you can do so with gparted
[08:03] <maco> nandy_lost: he told you what to do
[08:03] <christoz> i want to define tha JAVA_HOME var from the .bashrc ...in witch line should i insert the paths for jdk?
[08:03] <nandy_lost> but in windows,how it should be?
[08:03] <christoz> or it doesn't matter
[08:04] <maco> christoz: doesn't matter what line, just put "export JAVAHOME=/path/to/jdk" somewhere in there
[08:04] <sweetgu1> bazhang: isn't this code example supposed to be the applet i'm creating?
[08:04] <christoz> ok maco
[08:04] <jeyk> christoz: you want two lines:   "export JAVA_HOME=/java/path/goes/here" and "export JDK_HOME=/jdk/path/goes/here"
[08:04] <maco> nandy_lost: um....use a live cd.  should never mess with partitions while running from one of them
[08:04] <kuru> maco, I can't see what's in the bios, the server is a few thousand miles away from where I am ;)
[08:04] <bazhang> sweetgu1, no that is just the example (unless you wrote that tutorial)
[08:04] <kuru> maco, but it looks right
[08:05] <maco> kuru: oh ok..
[08:05] <nandy_lost> whether that unallocated space be used for installing an OS?
[08:05] <christoz> jeyk, hmm...i suppose that the JAVA_HOME is for the jre right/
[08:05] <christoz> ?
[08:05] <xbj9000> nandy_lost I'm not sure what you mean about windows, but the partition change will show in both systems yes
[08:05] <nandy_lost> xbj9000:i want to merge in windows,then which command ,i should use?
[08:06] <Kiba1> Kiba`: does anyone know why i get strange horizontal lines instead of a bootsplash screen?
[08:06] <blumm> help
[08:06] <skurakai> no one how can i fix keyboard layout
[08:06] <xbj9000> nandy_lost I don't know how to use windows, it's too hard
[08:06] <sweetgu1> bazhang: i'm lost
[08:06] <nandy_lost> no problem,thanks!
[08:06] <blumm> i get a gnome error msg when i boot : http://pastebin.com/m1f0f7355 ??!
[08:06] <nandy_lost> anyone else???
[08:06] <xbj9000> nandy_lost why are you asking in here if you want to do it in wondows?
[08:07] <Gnea> nandy_lost: start by getting into ubuntu, then ask.
[08:07] <bazhang> nandy_lost, ask in ##windows
[08:07] <sweetgu1> bazhang: can you manage to get one of these to compile?
[08:07] <nandy_lost> in fact,when i removed Ubuntu to install a newer version of it,i got unallocated space
[08:07] <jeyk> christoz: yes
[08:07] <sweetgu1> bazhang: i'm trying to write an applet similar to the existing taskbar with one more button on it, sorta like the start menu
[08:07] <S4nD3r> gnome-volume-manager?
[08:07] <jeyk> christoz: you'll also want to make sure that your PATH includes $JAVA_HOME/bin
[08:08] <DR_K13> I gotta poop . BRB
[08:08] <bazhang> sweetgu1, this is not really the channel for widget compiling; bit busy at the moment.
[08:08] <christoz> ok jeyk thanks
[08:08] <Gnea> !language | DR_K13
[08:08] <xbj9000> nandy_lost I guess you want Partition Magic, but nobody here can help you use it
[08:08] <bazhang> sweetgu1, if that is so difficult for you I would suggest getting a premade theme from gnome-look
[08:08] <adityag>  can i host a website when my ISP provides me with a static NAT address using apache?
[08:09] <StormStrikes> Does anyone know what I would need to be able to read .chm files in Ubuntu?
[08:09] <bazhang> StormStrikes, there are couple of apps for that
[08:09] <Gnea> adityag: can you telnet to port 80 from the internet and get a response?
[08:09] <xbj9000> adityag your isp would probably not like you running a server
[08:09] <bazhang> StormStrikes, apt-cache search comic
[08:09] <erichammon1> adityag: Yes, you can.  The easiest way is to configure Apache to listen on any IP address.
[08:09] <StormStrikes> bazhang: Thank you, I appreciate that, was not sure how to search synaptic for that.
[08:09] <sweetgu1> bazhang: how'd you figure that it was a place holder
[08:10] <bazhang> StormStrikes, one is called comix; forgot the name of the other
[08:10] <adityag> erichammon1: but how they will have my ip address ?
[08:10] <StormStrikes> bazhang: Checking now for Comic
[08:10] <erichammon1> adityag: How will who have your IP address?
[08:10] <adityag> how they will access my files ?
[08:10] <Gnea> adityag: setup dns
[08:10] <Jordan_U> StormStrikes, Try Xchm
[08:11] <erichammon1> adityag: Have you run an Apache or other web site before?
[08:11] <StormStrikes> Jordan_U: I'm looking for that one now too, thanks.
[08:11] <adityag> erichammon1: i am running apache and my website is ready
[08:11] <Dr_willis_> StormStrikes,  theres several chm viewers besides xchm, theres also a chm2pdf tool
[08:11] <Eleaf> adityag, they will type in your ip address
[08:11] <Eleaf> or you can map a domain name to an ip adityag
[08:11] <adityag> Gnea: how will they access my ip address ???
[08:11] <gwark> hello. how do i get my intel/pro 3945ABG wifi card to connect??   it sees the router, but wont connect
[08:11] <Eleaf> adityag, are you saying that you're behind a nat?
[08:12] <StormStrikes> Dr_Willis_: Is there one preferred over another, I didnt realize there would be so many avaialable.
[08:12] <adityag> but my ip address is <IP_ADDRESS> ......its a NAT
[08:12] <Gnea> adityag: you'll need to setup your network properly for that to happen. you'll need to read some networking tutorials.
[08:12] <Eleaf> adityag, you need to setup port forwarding
[08:12] <adityag> Eleaf: yes
[08:12] <KIrby> flooo;
[08:12] <arooni> if my computer restarts without being shut down properly... do i need to run fsck each time?  or does this not cause a *lot* of damage?
[08:12] <bazhang> gwark, this is hardy or gutsy; what encryption on the router; what have you tried so far
[08:12] <Dr_willis_> StormStrikes,  perfered? depends on what you want.  Pick one of the chm tools if you want chm.. or convert them to pdf if you perfer pdf.
[08:12] <Eleaf> adityag, port forwarding takes a request on the external ips port (like ip.address.here:80 and maps it to an internal ip)
[08:13] <S4nD3r> no help?
[08:13] <bazhang> S4nD3r, need a question
[08:13] <gooody> how can i test my microphone if it works correctly?
[08:13] <gwark> bazhang, i have WEP on my router .... used to work fine in 7.10 ...... but im in 8.04 now
[08:13] <Eleaf> mm
[08:13] <StormStrikes> Dr_Willis_:  Okay, I would rather have pdfs so I'll see about doing that.
[08:13] <Gnea> adityag: start with this page, please: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html
[08:13] <maco> gooody: system -> preferences -> sound
[08:13] <S4nD3r> What to do to get my usbstick recognized by my gnome?
[08:13] <Dr_willis_> StormStrikes,  a pdf will be a bit larger. but  i perfer them also
[08:13] <maco> gooody: hit the test button next to capture
[08:13] <erichammon1> adityag: Has your ISP given you a public IP address which maps to your internal NAT IP address?
[08:13] <adityag> Eleaf: ok,cool......how do i setup up port forwarding ?
[08:13] <xbj9000> I think s4nd3r is trying to access a USB thumbdrive, which should be automounting
[08:13] <Eleaf> adityag, it all depends on your router.
[08:14] <maco> gooody: make sure Capture and your speakers' volumes are up and not muted first ;) i had my mic muted
[08:14] <maco> gooody: if you hear stuff from your speakers, your mic works
[08:14] <Eleaf> adityag, figure out your router's ip address and look for some type or port forwarding ability
[08:14] <adityag> yes, it has a public ip address
[08:14] <pen> why is the systray not using the 16x16 icon while the panel has been resized to 16
[08:14] <bazhang> gwark, I had three parts to my question
[08:14] <maco> pen: i told you already that i think it needs a buffer
[08:14] <Eleaf> adityag, most router's/isp modems have some type of config page to change stuff like port forwarding, that's what you need to find and adjust
[08:14] <S4nD3r> which is?
[08:14] <S4nD3r> is a package to install?
[08:14] <maco> pen: the panel has to be 18, i think, so that it has a pixel above and a pixel below
[08:15] <erichammon1> adityag: Then it sounds like your ISP may already be doing the port forwarding.  Your users would connect to the public IP address, it would get forwarded to the internal NAT IP address.
[08:15] <StormStrikes> Is there a way to take all of a .chm file and convert it to pdf at one time.  When Im viewing the chm file it only gives me the option to print one page at a time.
[08:15] <xbj9000> s4nd3r the USB drive should appear on the desktop when you plug it in
[08:15] <S4nD3r>  gnome-volume-manager-gthumb this one?
[08:15] <gooody> maco: i'm using headset. i hear my voice when i speak to the microphone but don't work in skype.
[08:15] <S4nD3r> libhal.c 1310 : invalid udi:  doesn't startwith '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/'.
[08:15] <S4nD3r> error: libhal_device_get_property_type: (null): (null)
[08:15] <xbj9000> s4nd3r no  :/
[08:15] <adityag> Eleaf: i have its ip address , next ?
[08:15] <S4nD3r> /usr/bin/gnome-volume-manager-gthumb: 16: gthumb: not found
[08:15] <S4nD3r> those errors
[08:16] <Gnea> adityag: this will also answer many other questions that i'm betting you have: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/
[08:16] <S4nD3r> I got
[08:16] <S4nD3r> No?
[08:16] <pen> maco, sorry, you highlight me now so I didn't see your previous comments
[08:16] <gwark> bazhang, i have tried the madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz .........       now im looking for my windows inf file to install windows drivers
[08:16] <adityag> erichammon1: it works exactly as u said
[08:16] <adityag> Gnea: thank u
[08:16] <S4nD3r> Shoulded xbj9000... But this not happens
[08:16] <pen> maco, so what you mean is that I need to set it to 16?
[08:16] <bazhang> gwark, that is not atheros
[08:16] <pen> maco, so what you mean is that I need to set it to 18?
[08:16] <maco> pen: yes, i think that'd work
[08:17] <Eleaf> adityag, go to that ip address in your browser ;)
[08:17] <xbj9000> s4nd3r, neither does it appear in the side panel of nautilus?
[08:17] <bazhang> gwark, can you open router to no encryption for a test
[08:17] <adityag> Eleaf: ok
[08:17] <S4nD3r> Neither!
[08:17] <pen> maco, and should I restart the panel?
[08:17] <maco> pen: how did you even get 16 as an option?  20's the smallest the properties thing lets me pick.  did you screw with gconf?
[08:17] <maco> pen: should automatically resize
[08:17] <S4nD3r> neither when lsusb commandline
[08:17] <gwark> ok thankyou bazhang ,   do you know the solution for the 3945abg ?   and yes i can take the encryption off
[08:17] <pen> maco, no, I can pick to as low as 16
[08:18] <bazhang> gwark, can try
[08:18] <S4nD3r> id like to reset it.
[08:18] <pen> maco, well, your way doesn't work on me, set it to 18 doesn't change it
[08:18] <xbj9000> s4nd3r I don't know why not, but I'll find you a page about mounting FAT partitions
[08:18] <S4nD3r> I will need to format ?
[08:18] <pen> maco, for some
[08:18] <adityag> Eleaf: next
[08:18] <S4nD3r> mount it I know
[08:18] <pen> maco, others are just scaling
[08:18] <pen> maco, not really using a different icon
[08:18] <bazhang> S4nD3r, did you unsafely remove it from windows
[08:18] <erichammon1> adityag: Are you on a home/business network with a router you control or is this a server hosted at an ISP where they take care of the router/NAT?
[08:18] <S4nD3r> Not that I remember
[08:18] <pen> maco, I know the icon for networkmanager has smaller icons for 16x16, but it's not using
[08:19] <gwark> bazhang, brb
[08:19] <xbj9000> wait, s4nd3r can you see the device when you do sudo fdisk -l?
[08:19] <pen> maco, strange
[08:19] <bazhang> S4nD3r, do other computers see it
[08:19] <S4nD3r> using fdisk -l I cant see the device
[08:19] <adityag> erichammon1: server and everything is taken care by the ISP, there just one link that come right my cabinet
[08:19] <S4nD3r> in other computer I cant use it (is windows xp)
[08:19] <pen> maco, do you have any idea?
[08:20] <Eleaf> adityag, did you find anything regarding port forwarding?
[08:20] <christoz> jeyk i want to use java Sun's not the open one...how can i confirm or choose the Sun's jvm
[08:20] <xbj9000> s4nd3r I don't know how you can mount it if it doesn't appear in fdisk -l
[08:20] <gwark> bazhang, wep is now off
[08:20] <maco> pen: nope...the others are all using svg though, i guess
[08:20] <maco> pen: well, the other idea is that 18's still not big enough
[08:20] <adityag> Eleaf: not yet...i have not check those 2 links anyways
[08:20] <xbj9000> s4nd3r if you can't use it in any computer, I'd say it's just broken  :/
[08:20] <bazhang> gwark, open a terminal and type ifconfig (how many entries do you see)
[08:20] <maco> pen: i dont know what kind of buffer it wants
[08:20] <Eleaf> adityag, this site helps you set up port forwarding for specific routers:  http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
[08:20] <pen> maco, when will the panel actually uses the 16x16 icons
[08:21] <pen> maco,  I have never seen any 16x16 icons been used during the half year of ubuntu experience
[08:21] <erichammon1> adityag: Can you ssh into your server from outside?
[08:21] <bazhang> S4nD3r, even windows cannot see it?
[08:21] <adityag> Eleaf: thank you!!
[08:21] <xbj9000> s4nd3r can you use other USB devices in your computer without problems?
[08:21] <S4nD3r> I see mouse USB
[08:22] <adityag>  erichammon1: i dont know...can u check out ??? its ip ::: <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:22] <gwark> bazhang, eth0 & lo
[08:22] <bazhang> S4nD3r, what about other usb sticks
[08:22] <sweetgu1> bazhang: gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), controls); this line returns controls as undefined... i assume it's a place holder as well, turns out the function demands a widget in its place. although, i can't figure which sort.. i put window in place of widget and it compiles but on runtime it spits an error. what do you think?
[08:22] <S4nD3r> just a minute
[08:23] <bazhang> gwark you sure this intel 3945?
[08:23] <Kiba1> does anyone know why i get strange horizontal lines instead of a bootsplash screen?
[08:23] <adityag> erichammon1: success ???
[08:23] <erichammon1> adityag: Are you currently at your cabinet, then?
[08:23] <bazhang> Kiba1, lines of text?
[08:23] <Kiba1> no
[08:23] <gwark> bazhang,  yes,  the wifi used to be there under admin/network, but the option isnt there now .....   ?
[08:23] <Dr_willis_> Kiba1,  inproper framebuffer mode.
[08:24] <maco> pen: dunno
[08:24] <Kiba1> the colors are the same as the splash i got when booting from a live cd
[08:24] <Dr_willis_> !framebuffer
[08:24] <christoz> ubuntu doesn't let me to choose both Sun's jdk and jre jvm why is that?
[08:24] <erichammon1> adityag: Yes, that IP address responds to ping, ssh, and there is a web server on port 80.
[08:24] <adityag> erichammon1: yes, i am....i am typing frm my cabinet only
[08:24] <bazhang> gwark, did it ever work in hardy, or just recently failed to work
[08:24] <maco> gwark: do you have a hardware switch?
[08:24] <adityag> erichammon1: cool
[08:24] <erichammon1> Your web site says it only supports IE5.0 and above :(
[08:24] <drahko> how do i get emerald theme to be default
[08:25] <gwark> maco hardware switch?   dont thnk so, havnt heard of it b4
[08:25] <erichammon1> adityag: You're on an Ubuntu forum :-/
[08:25] <xbj9000> sounds like a lame website
[08:25] <gwark> bazhang, always worked from a fresh install of 7.10
[08:25] <drahko> how do i get emerald theme to be default
[08:25] <Dr_willis_> FireFox3 is Above IE5
[08:25] <Dr_willis_> :)
[08:25] <adityag> erichammon1: yes, u can check out my info(same ip) from my screen name here
[08:25] <gwark> bazhang, just never from after that one.
[08:25] <bazhang> gwark, yes, I have the same card and it works with gutsy and hardy; after hardy it has never worked?
[08:26] <S4nD3r_> Im here
[08:26] <afallenhope> hey my webcam doesn't work with adobe flash player 9 I get the following message in dmesg: http://pastebin.com/d2657e8a2
[08:26] <S4nD3r_> I can see my usb device in lsusb
[08:26] <S4nD3r_> Bus 007 Device 003: ID 0951:1603 Kingston Technology
[08:26] <afallenhope> The webcam works though because it works on aMSN
[08:26] <erichammon1> adityag: Sounds like everything is working, you just couldn't test it from inside the cabinet.  I'm checking out.
[08:27] <maco> gwark: like a switch or button you can press that turns off all power to the card so it pretends it doesn't exist at all
[08:27] <bazhang> S4nD3r_, what about other usb sticks
[08:27] <adityag> Eleaf: how do i find my router's name, model name ,company name ?
[08:27] <S4nD3r_> is this
[08:27] <meglo> Is there any way to set up internet connection sharing? firestarter doesn't exactly work, and the only guides on using iptables directly are not definitive, and this resource on iptables is on the order of 600 pages long. The other box is also ubuntu.
[08:27] <gwark> maco, yes i can turn the wifi of with a switch, yes
[08:27] <drahko> anyone help me a sec with emerald theme
[08:27] <maco> gwark: is it off?
[08:27] <S4nD3r> so..
[08:27] <afallenhope> firestarter = EVIL lmao
[08:27] <Dr_willis_> meglo,  thers some gui/tool that can enable it.. buti for get the factoid.
[08:27] <maco> gwark: or possibly, does it only turn off and not back on?
[08:27] <gwark> Maco, it is now
[08:28] <S4nD3r> using fdisk -l appears too !
[08:28] <mgolisch> meglo: isnt there info on that? in the wiki?
[08:28] <nck> my gnome freeze for a minute when i press the quit button
[08:28] <Dr_willis_> meglo,  the 'ip masquerading howto' used tobe the definitive guide on it . ages ago.
[08:28] <adityag> erichammon1: i dint get u, from inside the cabinet???
[08:28] <xbj9000> s4nd3r, that sounds promising, did you reboot?
[08:28] <S4nD3r> yes
[08:28] <gwark> maco, its just never worked..... the drivers could see the router, but could never connected wirelessly to it
[08:28] <apinunt_> Jordan_U: Did you see my  message:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23661/  ?
[08:28] <xbj9000> still no automount though?
[08:28] <drahko> anyone help me a sec with emerald theme
[08:28] <S4nD3r> no
[08:29] <Dr_willis_> drahko,  youmay want to ask a more specific question about emerald and its themes.
[08:29] <S4nD3r> i really would love to have it working
[08:29] <S4nD3r> I runned all this steps https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices
[08:29] <drahko> well i seletcted the imported theme and now i got now window boarders
[08:29] <gwark> maco, bazhang, ..... work kdenetwork help ?
[08:29] <bazhang> S4nD3r, how many usb sticks do you have
[08:30] <xbj9000> s4nd3r..  you aren't running in a virtual machine are you?
[08:30] <S4nD3r> no, im not
[08:30] <adityag> erichammon1: u there?
[08:30] <S4nD3r> I have one
[08:30] <S4nD3r> but I can get another if need
[08:31] <bazhang> S4nD3r, no OS can detect it?
[08:31] <S4nD3r> yes
[08:31] <bazhang> S4nD3r, yes? which one can detect it
[08:31] <S4nD3r> which one?
[08:31] <S4nD3r> Ubuntu 8.04
[08:32] <bazhang> S4nD3r, would a different language channel be more helpful to you?
[08:32] <S4nD3r> no.
[08:33] <meglo> Dr_willis_, mgolisch, sorry, I didn't google hard enough :P. From now on I'm going directly to ubuntu specific sources. Its also most likely because I'm stupid and didn't make a cross-over cable.
[08:33] <dgmul> hey there, i have a question... would installing ubuntu linux on a PS3 make for a really powerful personal computer? or is the ps3 not any more powerful than a normal high performance pc
[08:33] <bazhang> S4nD3r, then try to answer my question clearly: which OS can see the USB Stick when it is inserted into the usb slot (ie see on the desktop)
[08:33] <S4nD3r> I can see on the desktop the icon of usb stick
[08:34] <S4nD3r> but this is not mounted.
[08:34] <bazhang> dgmul, there is a ubuntu-ps3 channel you know
[08:34] <ackbahr> Hi there! Is ther a way to cypher the data in an account?
[08:34] <dgmul> bazhang: oh thanks
[08:34] <dgmul> bazhang: i didn't know
[08:34] <magnetron> dgmul: the PS3 is very powerful, but only for apps that do a lot of scalar products
[08:34] <Dr_willis_> meglo,  :) ihear with 2 gigibit cards you dont need a crossover cable..
[08:34] <maco> ackbahr: cypher?
[08:34] <S4nD3r> The icon is showed in nautilus.
[08:34] <maco> ackbahr: um, you mean encrypt?
[08:34] <ackbahr> maco: yep
[08:34] <bazhang> S4nD3r, what happens when you double click the icon
[08:34] <dgmul> magnetron: what exactly does that mean?
[08:34] <xbj9000> s4nd3r it should mount if you double-click it then
[08:34] <S4nD3r> this is mounted
[08:35] <maco> ackbahr: applications -> accessories -> passwords and encryption keys
[08:35] <xbj9000> ..then what's the problem?
[08:35] <bazhang> S4nD3r, so what is the problem
[08:35] <maco> ackbahr: create a key, then you can right click anything you want to encrypt and tell it to use your key
[08:35] <S4nD3r> Id like to have it mounted when I plugged it in my usb slot
[08:35] <magnetron> dgmul: it's a special type of mathematical operation. it's often used in 3D graphics and other applications
[08:35] <bazhang> oy
[08:35] <xbj9000> lol
[08:35] <meglo> Dr_willis_, maybe, dont most NICs auto-negotiate cable layout or whatever transparently?
[08:35] <arooni> how do i make it so fsck always runs on a reboot?
[08:35] <maco> ackbahr: if you want to do full disk encryption, though, you have to use the alternate cd and LVM
[08:35] <ackbahr> maco: Is it RSA (pgp or gpg compatible)?
[08:36] <ackbahr> maco: So encryption of the full HD would require a new install?
[08:36] <maco> ackbahr: i believe you get to choose RSA or DSA
[08:36] <adityag> erichammon1: ??????
[08:36] <ackbahr> maco: But it's the same as my pgp key?
[08:36] <Dr_willis_> meglo,  i hear gigibit cards do.. :) but i  havent tested that yet.
[08:36] <maco> ackbahr: if you really wanted full thing, then yeah. if just /home partition, you could backup and recreate the /home partition with lvm
[08:36] <bazhang> gwark, does the livecd see the nic?
[08:37] <Flannel> arooni: tune2fs
[08:37] <ackbahr> maco: Ok... Now if I try to get into Canada with encrypted data, are they going to arrest me for terrorism?
[08:37] <gwark> bazhang, for hardy, i never tried the live cd ..... i went straight for install
[08:37] <bazhang> ackbahr, please chat in ubuntu-offtopic
[08:37] <maco> ackbahr: it's when you try to come home to the US that you'll be arrested
[08:38] <maco> ackbahr: or at least accosted
[08:38] <S4nD3r> ??
[08:39] <ackbahr> bazhang: Sorry about that, was only one question about this....
[08:39] <ompaul> ackbahr, it is offtopic ;-)
[08:39] <ackbahr> ompaul: I totally agree
[08:40] <Bodsda> S4nD3r, try reading this -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab

[08:41] <Bodsda> bazhang, never said it wasnt, but wouldnt he need an fstab entry for automounting?

[08:54] <novi> oh i did it
[08:54] <xbj9000> metal woooo
[08:54] <WindowSmasher> Rat409: I'm looking for the package name.  I still have no idea why debian based distros dont have that package installed by default
[08:55] <Bodsda> steffen_, please watch your language
[08:55] <apinunt_> Am I the only one who receives a fail status when updating Translation-en_US packages in synaptic? If anyone is able to update them, please tell me which repository you are using.
[08:56] <steffen_> sry Bodsda
[08:56] <xbj9000> metalforever I guess they figure you have no business using that stuff if you don't know how to go get it  :p
[08:56] <metalforever> try building from source.
[08:56] <Rat409> WindowSmasher: if you're sure driver is good,check laptop switch or bios .other than that broadcom here
[08:56] <Bodsda> steffen_, thanks just keep it family friendly
[08:56] <metalforever> oh, and 64 bit versions, you install build-essential and it still doesnt work.
[08:56] <metalforever> i forget what i installed.
[08:56] <Bodsda> metalforever, thats not true re. 64 bit
[08:56] <WindowSmasher> Rat409: Negative. I'm searching for the appropriate package.
[08:57] <Bodsda> kate_mins, are you on a different machine then the one having probs?
[08:57] <metalforever> of course it is, i attempted it less than 2 weeks ago
[08:57] <Mork> Moin
[08:57] <metalforever> but my machine is self built, maybe it didnt install right.
[08:57] <Bodsda> metalforever, ive attempted it and succeeded on both 32 and 64 bit distro
[08:57] <xbj9000> metalforever maybe you need some libraries or something
[08:57] <metalforever> well, it needed some sym link package or something, i dont even remember.
[08:57] <steffen_> i was a little angry, i friend told me that it work but i mean that apple should make a better system
[08:58] <metalforever> i dont need any libraries.
[08:58] <metalforever> flash on 64 bit made me angry and i installed 32 bit.
[08:58] <xbj9000> steffen_what's the problem here?  we all know apples are lame..
[08:58] <novi> is it possible to connect to internet on ubuntu if your only possible conection is by virtual private network (VPN).....i have fresh instaled ubuntu hardy...says it has a package on itself for VPN, but ever time i want to instal the package it requires the existing connection...is there any help to this??
[08:58] <metalforever> i will try 64 bit distros in a few years when its standard.
[08:58] <Bodsda> kate_mins, you still here?
[08:58] <dacubuntu> nah apples r quite nice actually... very impressive for a first time user like me.
[08:59] <kate_mins> Bodsda: yes
[08:59] <dacubuntu> neways
[08:59] <xbj9000> hmm metalforever I'm on 64 bit with flash no problems
[08:59] <kate_mins> Bodsda: it other computer (newone)
[08:59] <S4nD3r> I have usbmount
[08:59] <metalforever> again, i probably just did something wrong.
[08:59] <S4nD3r> how to do this stick be automounted when plugge
[08:59] <metalforever> or i had a scratched disk,
[08:59] <dacubuntu> i need help enabling micboost in ubuntu... nebody know how to?
[08:59] <xbj9000> s4nd3r did you have it already before I mentioned it?
[08:59] <S4nD3r> Yes
[08:59] <S4nD3r> I told you
[08:59] <xbj9000> then I don't know
[09:00] <xbj9000> I don't think it's a big deal can't you just click on the icon when you plug it in?
[09:00] <Bodsda> kate_mins, ok, i need you to reboot, and at grub choose the line that has (recovery mode) then get to the command prompt and type      sudo rm -rf ~/.gnome && sudo rm -rf ~/.gconf        then reboot and login normally
[09:01] <gogi`> ok I have another problem trying to install this...when I type ./configure it works fine, but then I type make and it says "/bin/sh: cannot create /var/log/creative-installer.log: Permission denied"  Any ideas?
[09:01] <dacubuntu> micboost any2?
[09:01] <dacubuntu> *any1
[09:02] <gogi`> also if I type sudo make it says "make: *** [all] Error 2"
[09:02] <Bodsda> gogi`, sudo
[09:02] <metalforever> sudo
[09:02] <apinunt_> dacubuntu: On my system I right click the speaker icon, open the volume control, look at the switches tab where it shows a Mic Boost (+20db) option.
[09:02] <novi>  is it possible to connect to internet on ubuntu if your only possible conection is by virtual private network (VPN).....i have fresh instaled ubuntu hardy...says it has a package on itself for VPN, but ever time i want to instal the package it requires the existing connection to download some files, but there isnt.is there any other way to connct with a VPN ?
[09:02] <metalforever> novi, no.
[09:02] <gogi`> Bodsda, metalforever, I get that error....Error 2
[09:03] <Bodsda> gogi`, dunno what it means,,,, google it
[09:03] <novi> argh
[09:03] <gogi`> hmmm.....okay will do
[09:03] <dacubuntu> apinunt: but i dont have a switches tab
[09:04] <metalforever> novi, why dont you get on a separate machine, download the needed packages (in binary, or source, i dont care.) and try installing those packages before trying to install the package you need to install.
[09:04] <Bodsda> !aptoncd | novi
[09:04] <metalforever> or find the correct wireless drivers.
[09:05] <Bodsda> kate_mins, hows it going?
[09:05] <novi> i have no probs with drivers
[09:05] <gogi`> Oh, is there any way to set ubuntu to load directly into my user account on reboot instead of having to type in my user ID / password?
[09:06] <apinunt_> dacubuntu: I believe the boost option only shows if your audio card driver has support for it. My friends Compaq notebook does not have it either, and mic volume is very low without it.
[09:06] <backz> I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 on a machine with VIA Chrome 9. I got alternate cd, but the blue-installer split window in two columns, and I can't install it
[09:06] <novi> it the packages
[09:06] <metalforever> gogi: probably but i dont remember.
[09:06] <metalforever> one moment.
[09:07] <khmer42> I have a clean Hardy install connected to the internet, what do I need to do so it can be pinged from non-local machine?
[09:07] <apinunt_> dacubuntu: His system uses a Conexant chip I believe, and that seems to be poorly supported.
[09:07] <metalforever> okay, goi, System > Administration > Login menu.  Press the security tab, there will be a checkbox that says "enable automatic login", check that.
[09:08] <metalforever> gogi*
[09:08] <gogi`> metalforever, awesome thanks so much!  I can't believe I missed that "login" thing under system lol
[09:08] <metalforever> you're welcome.
[09:09] <Maimster> I personally like the cool gdm screens.

[09:11] <Bodsda> kate_mins, hows it going?
[09:11] <metalforever> alright, they work with alsa, which means its not a driver problem, hm?
[09:11] <giacomo_carissim> yeah
[09:11] <giacomo_carissim> i hear system sounds
[09:11] <giacomo_carissim> and sounds from pidgin
[09:11] <metalforever> Perhaps look in config for teamspeak?

[09:15] <Kiba`> hmm, i've been playing around with this framebuffer thingy now, because of my bootsplash problem. turning off the framebuffer results in those horizontal lines, so i guess that's what it did by default. turning on framebuffer using vga=*** did show the bootsplash alright in different resolutions, but it wasn't centered - sometimes wrapping around the edge of the screen, sometimes just shifted a bit to the side, depending on the chosen resultion. a
[09:15] <apinunt_> dacubuntu: Same here, the mic works in windows on my friends computer because the mic boost works in it, but the mic boost is missing in ubuntu.
[09:15] <metalforever> novi: i had no part with aptoncd. No idea. Try installing the program again
[09:16] <metalforever> tell us how it goes
[09:16] <giacomo_carissim> i'm trying to remove esound
[09:16] <giacomo_carissim> is esd also part of esound?
[09:16] <metalforever> go into synaptic and search esound.
[09:16] <metalforever> press complete removal
[09:16] <metalforever> i dont know, read the description.
[09:17] <sweetgu1> can someone explainn to me how i can create a .iso from the kernel source code?

[09:19] <josa> where can i get a manual of iptables ??any one knows
[09:19] <Ralith> I'm trying to get the latest official nvidia driver installed by hand
[09:19] <metalforever> ralith: synaptic?
[09:19] <Ralith> metalforever: I said by hand.
[09:19] <Ralith> i.e. download from nvidia
[09:19] <ompaul> sweetgu1, that process is a bit much I suggest you start to read the info on the linuxfromscratch.org site it is complex and check out what the debian website it is to do with the tool chain that you use which is too complex for here
[09:19] <vox> Ralith: wont build?
[09:20] <Ralith> vox: no, it builds fine
[09:20] <Ralith> let me finish here
[09:20] <vox> heh
[09:20] <Ralith> all goes well up to the end, where the kernel module fails to load because the video card's address is mapped above the 4GB range, which is apparently unsupported despite this being the 64 bit driver
[09:20] <Ralith> how do I force it to get mapped in under 4GB?
[09:20] <vox> ah. that im not sure about
[09:20] <sweetgu1> ompaul: thanks. have do you think you could help me defining the width of *window widget to full screen?
[09:21] <sweetgu1> ompaul: GtkWidget *window
[09:21] <Ralith> vox: I can pastebin the exact errors; they're amazingly human readable
[09:21] <ompaul> sweetgu1, no

[09:22] <metalforever> zhave a nice night all
[09:23] <metalforever> this place gives me a bit of a headache

[09:24] <C00l_two> can anybody tell me how I can split a large movie file into two
[09:25] <giacomo_carissim> what if i uninstalled pulseaudio?  would that allow teamspeak to run through my alsa headphones?
[09:25] <vox> Ralith: 9600 or 9600gt?
[09:26] <frame06_>  smuanya !
[09:27] <C00l_two> well anybody ?
[09:27] <vox> Ralith: and which nvidia driver version
[09:27] <Hondo_Kitsune> Ok, i am at a bit of a loss here. How do you sync your contacts between Kopete and Kontact?
[09:28] <Ralith> vox: one sec
[09:28] <jpds> Hondo_Kitsune: You may wish to try asking that in #kubuntu - more KDE people there.
[09:28] <Ralith> vox: driver version 173.14.09
[09:28] <Hondo_Kitsune> jpds: I did, no responce
[09:29] <Ralith> vox: er, had it slightly wrong earlier; card is a 9500 GS
[09:29] <giacomo_carissim> can anyone help me get teamspeak to work with alsa?
[09:29] <Ralith> mobile version, btw, but that shouldn't matter
[09:29] <vox> Ralith: the GS isnt supported yet
[09:29] <vox> Ralith: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html
[09:29] <Ralith> vox: wait what
[09:30] <Ralith> vox: GeForce 9500M GS
[09:30] <Ralith> vox: that looks supported to me
[09:30] <vox> ah
[09:30] <vox> that's supported
[09:30] <Ralith> vox: yes exactly
[09:30] <Ralith> the problem isn't that it's unsupportd
[09:30] <Ralith> the problem is that it's mapped way out ther ein the memory range
[09:31] <S4nD3r> how to mount a device in fstab as user, and get to umount, write ??
[09:31] <Commie_Jebus> how do i make Xchat use tor
[09:32] <Ralith> minus kudos to nvidia for being so incompetent at 64 bit code that it can't get outside 2^32 in terms of memory areas
[09:32] <ompaul> !tor | Commie_Jebus you won't get in here with it - it is barred
[09:32] <BoltClock> !vm > BoltClock
[09:32] <vox> Ralith: does your bios let you change where the card gets its memmory allocation from?
[09:32] <Ralith> Commie_Jebus: run 'torify <program you want to use tor>
[09:32] <BoltClock> !vmware > BoltClock
[09:32] <Commie_Jebus> thanks
[09:33] <Ralith> vox: I don't know, but can check; what sort of options should I be expecting? Manual range specification, or autoselection provider, or what?
[09:33] <vox> Ralith: to be honest im not sure, but most built-in gfx cards have options as to what section of memmory they should map to in bios
[09:34] <Ralith> vox: alright, I'll look for that; thanks.

[09:39] <apinunt_> Does anyone know how to obtain updates for the Translation-en_US packages in synaptic? I fail no matter which repository I try.
[09:39] <sadhermit> ompaul: i can't connect it to the internet in any way
[09:40] <microphex> no they work giacomo_carissim
[09:40] <ompaul> sadhermit, then the answer is take it from another similar build machine
[09:40] <JoCo> Hey guys I'm having some troubles here, after I installed my GFX drivers my wireless stopped working - the driver for my aetheros card looks like it got uninstalled somehow, any fixes?
[09:40] <microphex> it's only on ubuntu

[09:42] <revilodraw> ompaul: thanks!
[09:42] <sadhermit> ompaul: i thought i could download the lists from the repositories

[09:54] <ompaul> !restricted | revilodraw I suggest you look at the medibuntu comment on this page
[09:54] <|Infrared> !offtopic | So I was at this store right? And some guy comes running yelling oh my god! I tried to fight back but he punched me. I got in this one little fight and my mom got scared so she said "you're moving in with your auntie and uncle in bel-air!"
[09:54] <|Infrared> olol
[09:54] <BoltClock> lol
[09:56] <dr_Willis> Some people have WAY too much time on their hands. :)
[09:56] <BoltClock> haha
[09:56] <BoltClock> anyway, is pendrivelinux.com a good resource?
[09:57] <zerio511> I need help with my nvidea
[09:57] <zerio511> need help with nvidia
[09:57] <ompaul> !nvidia | zerio511
[09:57] <dr_Willis> BoltClock,  not too bad a site. :)
[09:58] <|Matt> ompaul why don't you just stay op? :o
[09:58] <dr_Willis> zerio511,  You may want to clarify what issues you are having and what have you done so far?
[09:58] <v3trae> I need to mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt/data on boot. Throwing it in my sessions didn't help because it requires root access. I've already thrown it in my fstab and that didn't help either. Any ideas on how i can get the mount to run at startup since i need root permissions to do so and you can't do that through sessions?
[09:58] <ompaul> |Matt, because it is suggested by freenode that you don't
[09:59] <dr_Willis> Ninja Ops!
[09:59] <dr_Willis> v3trae,  put a proper entry in the fstab - is the correct way to do it.
[09:59] <dr_Willis> v3trae,  what filesystem is the device?
[10:00] <billli> hi, ich have an HP/YUAN tv expresscard, which ist said to be ready for winVista but i have no idea to use it on linux

[10:03] <|Darren> where can I install unbuntu?
[10:03] <bardyr> hey, how can i define a cmd to a shortcut_
[10:03] <bardyr> ?
[10:03] <ompaul> !download | |Darren
[10:04] <|Matt> !torrents
[10:04]  * |Matt thinks he has a Ubuntu CD somewhere
[10:04] <|Infrared> I have actually never heard of ubuntu
[10:05] <nirvine> I need a hand with keyboard shortcuts.  Anyone got a sec?
[10:05] <ompaul> !ubuntu | |Infrared
[10:05] <kaushal_> hello all
[10:05] <baconbits> infrared: sure
[10:05] <ompaul> nirvine, System Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts
[10:05] <|Infrared> What baconbits?
[10:06] <ompaul> !offtopic
[10:06] <baconbits> infrared: woops wrong person :)
[10:07] <nirvine> ompaul, thanks.  It's a little more than that.  I've got my Win key set up as the super key (from layout options).  All shortcuts work using the win key (start terminal, e.g.), but the volume controls don't.
[10:07] <prodigel> Hi all. what syntax should I use to play a vlc stream using mplayer? using vlc the url I give is upd://@, but this doesn't work with mplayer
[10:07] <monteiro> from time to time, i stay without wireless, i don't know why, this is the error i found in syslog: Microcode SW error detected.  Restarting 0x82000008. / iwl3945: Can't stop Rx DMA.
[10:08] <ompaul> nirvine, to see what they are producing check out xev in a terminal
[10:08] <nirvine> Volume controls do work when assigned to a simpler shortcut like F7, e.g.
[10:09] <v3trae> dr_Willis: sorry man, had to run out for a second, it's an NTFS partition do i need ntfs for type or ntfs-3g?
[10:09] <nirvine> It's sensing win as Super_L (I've only got one)
[10:10] <dr_Willis> v3trae,  for read/write access you want to use ntfs-3g
[10:10] <gogi> Ok I think I'm narrowing the problem down with my mouse not being detected on startup...maybe someone can shed more light on this for me....
[10:10] <zerio511> how do I install nvidia drivers?
[10:10] <v3trae> dr_Willis: well when i run mount /dev/sda1 it tells me i need root access
[10:10] <nirvine> Also, just tried Alt+<key>, and it works for volume controll.
[10:10] <gogi> My mouse is connected to the USB ports on my monitor (wireless mouse), which is in turn connected to the hard usb ports
[10:10] <dr_Willis> v3trae,  yes.. yes you do...
[10:11] <dr_Willis> v3trae,  entries in the fstab can have the 'user' option to allow users to mount them.
[10:11] <v3trae> dr_Willis: oh wow, i'm an idiot, give me a second to test it
[10:11] <dr_Willis> !ntfs-3g
[10:12] <zerio511> how do I install nvidia drivers?
[10:13] <|Infrared> !away
[10:13] <|Infrared> Oh, my bad.
[10:13] <Chewbacca_360> could i cause some trouble in here?
[10:13] <dr_Willis> zerio511,  the 'normal way' is to run that "hardware drivers" tool and let install them
[10:13] <pabl> Can I have more than one private DSA keys for OpenSSH?
[10:15] <khama> Okay am having problems installing yahoo messenger
[10:15] <v3trae> dr_Willis: gonna test this brb
[10:15] <dismal_denizen> I'm using the "intel" graphics driver on my laptop, but it's damn slow. Anything better out there?
[10:16] <|Darren> dismal_denizen : nvidia
[10:17] <dismal_denizen> |Darren: I tried grabbing nvidia-glx-new, but it didn't work.
[10:17] <gogi> Anyone know why USB devices plugged into my monitor USB hub aren't being detected automatically on startup?
[10:18] <dr_Willis> dismal_denizen,  err... you dont use nvidia drivers for an intel video card.
[10:18] <khama> can anyone help me install yahoo messenger on ubuntu linux
[10:18] <khama> pliz
[10:19] <dr_Willis> khama,  theres several im clients that can do Yahoo.

[10:21] <dr_Willis> !sudo | vivek
[10:21] <vivek> thank you
[10:21] <gogi> No one knows about USB issues with an external USB hub?
[10:22] <dr_Willis> gogi,  ive not heard of anyone in here befor with issues
[10:23] <gogi> Oh darn...I see some forum posts about it but no solutions, heh...it's just kind of annoying that I have to replug in my usb dongle on startup to get the mouse to work
[10:23] <gogi> Although after I do that it works just fine
[10:23] <NovaAesa_> does anyone know how to install a .ttf font on ubuntu?
[10:23] <Rhorse> gogi, some hubs work better than others I've found
[10:23] <dr_Willis> NovaAesa_,  i just copy them to my .fonts directory
[10:24] <NovaAesa_> thanks, i will try that =D
[10:24] <dr_Willis> NovaAesa_,  in the gnome file manager i think you can go go fonts:// or fonts:\ or somthing like that as well

[10:30] <dr_Willis> Jahromeo,  the #kubuntu channel i think points to a different page. go in to #kubuntu and do a !compiz and see
[10:30] <dr_Willis> !hostname | denieru
[10:30] <Jahromeo> kubuntu !compiz is outdated
[10:31] <trojan> pidar!

[10:31] <jimcooncat> kate_mins: vinagre? probably not unless you tunnel it through ssh
[10:32] <fma243> i want to permamently fix my sound problem
[10:32] <fma243> the sound only activates when i type in the command
[10:32] <trojan> What is pidaras?
[10:33] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know how to save your current playlist in rhythmbox?
[10:33] <fma243> sudo modprobe snd-sb16
[10:33] <fma243> any one here
[10:34] <fma243> my sound only activates when i type in the command sudo modprobe snd-sb16
[10:34] <fma243> i want to permanently fix it
[10:34] <fma243> !sound
[10:34] <Dr_willis_> fma243,   ya could make that module auto load.. or put the command in /etc/rc.local
[10:34] <fma243> how do i do that
[10:34] <Dr_willis_> fma243,  edit /etc/rc.local and put the command befor the 'exit' command.
[10:35] <Dr_willis_> edit it as root with sudo of course.
[10:35] <fma243> i remember that when i was using ubuntu 6.04 or something i just downloaded a plugin and it worked
[10:35] <Dr_willis_> OR to auto load the module a different way.. lets see
[10:35] <Dr_willis_> !autoload
[10:35] <Dr_willis_> !modules
[10:35] <trojan> !zalupa
[10:35] <Flynsarmy> I'm afraid to do anything in rhythmbox cause i don't want my current playlist destroyed and i have no idea how to save it
[10:35] <Jahromeo> how do i add sources for repos via command line - i cant get adept to open
[10:35] <trojan> !ass

[10:36] <trojan> !ubicco
[10:36] <fma243> the main problem is that ubuntu isnt detecting alsa devices unless i make it by using the command
[10:36] <Dr_willis_> fma243,  or add the module name to # /etc/modules

[10:46] <Dr_willis_> fma243,  you need to edit it as root since its a system file

[10:46] <Gpalco> Someone, pls help: I have an Intel HDA Audio Card and it used to work perfactly. And now, maybe due to an update, when I connect my haedphone - it MUTES SPEAKERS, but DOESN'T TURN ON sound in HEADPHONES! Anyone has this soundcard? It is SAMSUNG R40+ Laptop. PLS
[10:46] <Jahromeo> !repos
[10:46] <Dr_willis_> fma243, then you got deeper issues it seems then sound.
[10:46] <fma243> and i dont know sudo commands in terminal
[10:47] <raheem> Gpalco: please right mouse click on the sound icon, see the preferences ..
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> Gpalco: id webseach for people installing Ubuntu from scratch on your laptop. TBH updates are a real cause of issues and i always clean install
[10:49] <Dr_willis_> fma243,  'sudo nano /etc/modules'  is   the whole command.
[10:49] <fma243> i am editing rc.local atm
[10:49] <Gpalco> ActionParsnip, what is TBH ? What is the feature of swtching the sound output is called, so I would have an idea what to google for?
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> tbh == to be honest
[10:50] <Dr_willis_> fma243,  editing of /etc/modules may be easier and more proper.. but do what you want.
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> Gpalco: search for SAMSUNG R40 ubuntu
[10:50] <Dr_willis_> fma243,  either one will work
[10:51] <Gpalco> ActionParsnip, raheem ! Thank you!
[10:51] <lapisdecor> is there a voice and video plugin for pidgin?
