[12:01] <Lazareth> or crtl-alt-backspace
[12:01] <Lazareth> what wastedfluid said then
[12:01] <wastedfluid> no, you're right; it's ctrl+alt+backspace
[12:01] <wastedfluid> My mistake.
[12:01] <Lazareth> doh
[12:01] <Lazareth> xD
[12:01] <wastedfluid> i just tried it on the laptop lol
[12:01] <wastedfluid> pike_;  did you get my message bro?
[12:01] <SirronTM> janeppo_: nah, the driver is fine. I think it must be the terminal or X, since that's what I was having trouble with
[12:01] <janeppo_> SirronTM, please go ahead. maybe cy later.
[12:01] <osmosis> how do I list all the software in  http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free   ?
[12:01] <NET||abuse> hey all,, i setup virtualbox, setup an xp image, now it has IE6, I wanted to copy the image and then upgrade to ie7 on that image(obviously for testing webistes) and various other things, but how can i duplicate the image in virtual box?
[12:01] <SirronTM> janeppo_: thanks again for the help
[12:02] <sp3ilmitkurt> Hi :)
[12:02] <janeppo_> SirronTM, ru going to try compiz-fusion?
[12:02] <pike__> wastedfluid: so can you sudo -s or -i ?
[12:02] <sp3ilmitkurt> Has someone here everyone used wubi?
[12:03] <MarkSchmidt> thanks in advance for any tipps from u guys :)
[12:03] <lokieee> when editing the /etc/apt/sources.list  I want to add a resp, so can I just add  deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org feisty main  at the bottom of the config file?
[12:03] <wastedfluid> pike_;  sudo -s and -i return nothing
[12:03] <Lazareth> I seriously need to find a way to do away with this cdrom-drive... I can't work with my terminal while it spews errors on repeat!
[12:03] <foug> what a good program for mounting virtual drives?
[12:03] <gordonjcp> foug: "mount"
[12:03] <foug> i have an mdf file, it's a game that needs to be installed
[12:04] <gordonjcp> what's an mdf file?
[12:04] <pike__> wastedfluid: what are you trying to do again?
[12:04] <foug> gordonjcp: so, mount File.mdf?
[12:04] <foug> gordonjcp: a file that needs a virtual drive, lol
[12:04] <sp3ilmitkurt> Has anyone here every used "Wubi"
[12:04] <gordonjcp> foug: no, but something like mount -o loop file.iso /mountpoint
[12:04] <gordonjcp> foug: is it an iso?
[12:04] <foug> gordonjcp: no, and mdf and mds file
[12:04] <gordonjcp> what format is it?
[12:04] <wastedfluid> pike_; i Just want sudo to work;  It doesn't work at all.  at first, it couldn't resolve my hostname.. then I added it to /etc/hosts.. and now it just does nothing.  it returns nothing.  I can't sudo fdisk -l, nothing..
[12:04] <gordonjcp> foug: I have never ever heard of an mdf file
[12:04] <foug> gordonjcp: it's Dues Ex, the PC game. There's Dues Ex.mds and .mdf
[12:05] <foug> gordonjcp: neither have i but i googled it and everyone says you need to run it through a virtual drive
[12:05] <gordonjcp> foug: sorry, nfi it is
[12:05] <wastedfluid> .mdf is an extension for alcohol 120%
[12:05] <malocite> ahh, I can't connect to my work citrix server - it keeps saying you have not chosen to trust .....
[12:05] <foug> wastedfluid: ahh, a windows program i assume?
[12:05] <gordonjcp> wastedfluid: ty
[12:05] <NET||abuse> so anyone know how to duplicate an existing virtual machine image in virtualbox?
[12:05] <Lazareth> gordonjcp: it's like .iso, just in two files - one for the data and one for how it "looks" on the cd. I honestly don't know how to mount it outside winblows, though =P
[12:05] <wastedfluid> foug; yes, alcohol 120% is a windows program.
[12:05] <sp3ilmitkurt> Hello people can anyone help me out?
[12:05] <gordonjcp> foug: it looks like it might be a windows thing
[12:06] <gordonjcp> foug: you might get further either converting it to an iso, or burning it to a CD
[12:06] <pike__> wastedfluid: so grep $(hostname) /etc/hosts      returns a nice <IP_ADDRESS> line?
[12:06] <gordonjcp> foug: or, or course, you could use your original Deus Ex CD
[12:06] <sp3ilmitkurt> So no one can help me :(?
[12:06] <pike__> wastedfluid: worst case you boot to single user moded and enable root account for a while
[12:07] <mario_> no.thanks
[12:07] <wastedfluid> pike_;  yes, /etc/hosts is: <IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost jbodystreet - and my hostname is "jbodystreet"
[12:07] <tcstech> sp3ilmitkurt: just ask your question.

[12:08] <wastedfluid> Anyone else have any idea why sudo does nothing?  It returns nothing.  It's a fresh ubuntu 6.06 imaged install from OPENZ.  At first, it couldn't resolve my hostname.. after i edited my hostname to /etc/hosts, now, it does nothing.

[12:10] <jr> sp3ilmitkurt,  keep asking some one may have
[12:10] <aLeSD> I mean I have to path the ipw2200 module with the injecting code
[12:11] <sp3ilmitkurt> :( Well wubi is installing ubuntu and it says creating virtual disks and has been doing this for like an hour and a half does this half to do with the fact that I picked the 30 gig installation?

[12:11] <jr> bense, isnt four enough lol
[12:11] <fstab-ahab> I find it amusing people associate control with daunting taks and self-configuration for absaloutly everything.. i call that elitest, not power. power can be simplicity, something gentoo is not.. oh wait "then its not for me", exactly why gentoo will die.
[12:12] <lokieee> go to the 1 desktop and right click, then preferences and you can increase it there
[12:12] <fstab-ahab> Err, major mistell guys.. sorry

[12:21] <SrAfCiGeR> Resolving geocities.com... failed: Host not found.
[12:21] <orbisvicis> if i switch to fluxbox, my gnome gtk/icon theme isnt applied ... how do i get it ?
[12:21] <foug> Kohvihoor: how do i convert them?
[12:22] <orbisvicis> what app does gnome run to apply the theme on log-in ?
[12:22] <walkerk> how do you guys see through the madness? 1117 people in here?!?!
[12:22] <walkerk> thats insane
[12:22] <Jordan_U> Lazareth, Easiest way would be to simply disconnect it
[12:22] <javaJake> walkerk, yep
[12:22] <Music_Shuffle> walkerk, very few are active at any given time %-wise.
[12:22] <Kohvihoor> foug, sudo apt-get install mdf2iso
[12:22] <Jack_Sparrow> walkerk: We limit chatter
[12:22] <orbisvicis> walkerk, yeah -> use names !
[12:22] <_Lucretia_> ah, got it

[12:22] <walkerk> javaJake, thanks
[12:22] <walkerk> :P
[12:22] <Lazareth> but yes, easiest =P
[12:22] <Jordan_U> walkerk, Messages to us are highlighted, like this one is to you :)
[12:22] <slayer88> whenever someone can help me, it would be appreciated
[12:23] <slayer88> till then, ill play guitar.
[12:23] <foug> Kohvihoor: you da man, thanks
[12:23] <javaJake> orbisvicis, fluxbox uses different themes, not the same as GNOME. You'll need a new theme for fluxbox.
[12:23] <Faldrien> Lazareth: I think you can black list it's module, and then it will stopped being used
[12:23] <scorp123> orbisvicis: it's a background task that applies the GNOME settings ... without actually loading GNOME
[12:23] <walkerk> like '/msg name blah' ?
[12:23] <Kohvihoor> foug: no problem. : )
[12:23] <javaJake> orbisvicis, at least, I'm 75% sure it uses different themes.
[12:23] <Lazareth> Faldrien: please tell how?
[12:23] <orbisvicis> scorp123, yeah im going to use it
[12:23] <Faldrien> Lazareth: what are you trying to disable?
[12:23] <Jordan_U> walkerk, If you use someone's name in a comment it highlights in that person's client
[12:23] <walkerk> ok.. ic
[12:23] <scorp123> orbisvicis: KDE users have the same "problem" .... you will maybe find examples if you Google for "KDE GNOME settings".
[12:23] <Lazareth> Faldrien: an internal cddrive
[12:23] <orbisvicis> javaJake, it doesnt. i tried switching in gtk-theme-select, and my gnome themes changed as well
[12:24] <walkerk> Jordan_U, like this I guess.. :O Madness :P
[12:24] <walkerk> i'll stick around
[12:24] <Jordan_U> walkerk, :)
[12:24] <kitche> orbisvicis: actually it does use different thems sicne fluxbox does not equal metacity
[12:24] <slayer88> waaaaayyy to many people in here.
[12:24] <javaJake> orbisvicis, fluxbox and GNOME are two different window managers.
[12:24] <sapuro> does anyone knows how to work with kiba-dock?
[12:24] <Dromar> walkerk, so if you want to speak at someone, just type the first letters of his name, then TAB for completion, and the message will be highlighted
[12:24] <kitche> orbisvicis: unles your using fluxbox for gnome window manager
[12:24] <orbisvicis> scorp123, i can use gtk-theme-switch to select gtk themes (not icons) but it doesnt show all my gtk themes
[12:24] <javaJake> slayer88, well, this is only the most popular Linux OS's channel, after all. :D
[12:24] <Lazareth> Faldrien, know how?
[12:24] <slayer88> Yeah
[12:25] <foug> Kohvihoor: k i got it converted through the gui, just told it run through the command mdf2iso, but how would i do that just through terminal?
[12:25] <walkerk> tab.. really? didn't know that.. lets try it out
[12:25] <walkerk> Dromar, got it :)
[12:25] <Jordan_U> javaJake, It might be the most popular IRC channel, period
[12:25] <walkerk> makes sense
[12:25] <slayer88> Yeah
[12:25] <orbisvicis> javaJake, im just interested in applying the gtk/icon themes, not metacity etc
[12:25] <javaJake> Jordan_U, oh, it is, no doubt
[12:25] <slayer88> huge userbase
[12:25] <Faldrien> Lazareth: one second please, i'm looking up how to determine the module's name
[12:25] <javaJake> orbisvicis, you'll want fluxbox support, not ubuntu. They'll know for usre
[12:25] <MarkSchmidt> i managed to get compiz working with frlgx and xgl - but now my two-desktop-setting from gnome is gone... i can move the mouse to my second monitor, but I have no second desktop there.... any ideas?
[12:25] <scorp123> orbisvicis: no idea ..... Fluxbox doesn't use GTK themes. So this stuff has only influence on GNOME applications launched under Fluxbox ....
[12:25] <Rericsso> Hey, anyone here familiar with using Ubuntu on dual monitors?
[12:25] <Lazareth> faldrien: okie
[12:26] <Kohvihoor> foug: mdf2iso <yourmdf>
[12:26] <Dromar> MarkSchmidt, you need a script XGL for dual-desktop
[12:26] <slayer88> Anyone have the time to help a Linux newbie?
[12:26] <walkerk> not sure if anyone is interested.. i wrote a simple script to upgrade feisty's kernel to 2.6.22-9 (given you use the generic kernel...)?
[12:26] <Dromar> MarkSchmidt, wait, i will search the one that i use
[12:26] <phreck> speaking of
[12:26] <foug> Kohvihoor: ah ok, and for [destfile] , that'd be to install it if i wasn't in the .mdf's folder right?
[12:26] <Iwizzard> Is there anny good Video manager program (Like Itunes) so I can keep track of my Video podcast, .MOV and .Mp4 ?
[12:27] <phreck> if i have a MK-36 amd proc
[12:27] <phreck> what kernel should i run
[12:27] <Jordan_U> !generic | phreck
[12:27] <ubotu> phreck: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[12:27] <phreck> ah.
[12:27] <phreck> the generic one then.
[12:27] <Kohvihoor> foug: i think so
[12:27] <foug> Kohvihoor: also, does ubuntu have a virtual drive prog? or do i need to download one? Archive Manager doesn't seem to read it
[12:27] <UnluckyMike> slayer88, just ask your questions
[12:27] <Music_Shuffle> Just a kick I thought.
[12:27] <MarkSchmidt> Dromar, thanks a lot !
[12:27] <PriceChild> Music_Shuffle, you must have had a second account on.
[12:27] <Faldrien> Lazareth: apparently that wont work, because my network card is still in the list.  i'll do some googling for you
[12:28] <slayer88> THe sound wont work
[12:28] <Music_Shuffle> Oh, no idea.

[12:28] <scorp123> PriceChild: what's with all those bans I just saw when I joined a few minutes ago? (just asking out of curiosity .... )
[12:28] <delmar> I have a couple of php/sql packages that try to uninstall themselves when I apt-get install php5 (and other php5 related packages)  but I know those packages will be fine...how can I tell apt-get to ignore those specific packages and go ahead and download+install php5 etc. ?
[12:28] <Kohvihoor> foug, create that folder before mounting
[12:28] <slonbg> kitche: how?
[12:28] <Dragnslcr> Anyone here worked with kvm? When I try to start a virtual machine, it hangs at "Loading..." and uses 100% of one of my CPU cores
[12:28] <slayer88> ???
[12:28] <slayer88> I'm sorry

[12:33] <cn28h> Has anyone else run into problems with ndiswrapper when upgrading from edgy to feisty? My ndiswrapper worked fine on edgy, but when I upgraded to feisty it set it to use the native bcm43xx driver (doesn't support my 4318) and now ndiswrapper won't work

[12:33] <Lazareth> how exactly is it you guys make it to highlight messages with your name in it?
[12:33] <slayer88> ok. Im sorry. wont happen again
[12:33] <PriceChild> gnomefreak, meh :)
[12:33] <gnomefreak> Lazareth: type users name

[12:34] <ubuntu_____> is the new ver of ubuntu just compatible with wine.....or does it come with it?
[12:34] <Jordan_U> cn28h, You may need to blacklist bcm43xx
[12:34] <MarkSchmidt> ah Dromar, so I make no mistakes - which lines to comment out?
[12:34] <gnomefreak> PriceChild: :)
[12:34] <slonbg> gnomefreak: I tried both with -X and -Y, nothing works
[12:34] <cn28h> Jordan_U, already done that
[12:34] <kitche> cn28h: blacklist bcm43xx module and ndiswrapper will work
[12:34] <Juhaz> pj_mfc, if it's ptp camera, there's no mount point
[12:34] <Lazareth> gnomefreak I meant for myself so I can see when people write with my name in it
[12:34] <MarkSchmidt> uhm, comment in *G*
[12:34] <cn28h> hm
[12:34] <therethinker> cn28h: Have you tried using bcm43xx-fwcutter
[12:34] <Dromar> MarkSchmidt, all, exept the first one
[12:35] <Rericsso> therethinker: ok, just so you know, i started using linux like yesterday so im not very familiar with all the terms
[12:35] <pj_mfc> Juhaz, I believe it is ptp..  Can I make it mount, or otherwise access the files directly?
[12:35] <gnomefreak> Lazareth: your client should have that set up already unless your using irssi or bitchx ...
[12:35] <slonbg> gnomefreak: maybe some package is missing, which was not made a dependency of synaptic
[12:35] <walkerk> ok.. im helping hvgotcodes with his wifi.. he has ipw2200.. from what i read ths should work without ndiswrapper.. correct?
[12:35] <cn28h> therethinker, I have the firmware dumped in /lib/firmware and such, but I thought that was for bcm43xx anyway

[12:35] <gnomefreak> Lazareth: what IRC client
[12:35] <Rericsso> therethinker:quite the noob actually
[12:35] <gnomefreak> Lazareth: it sets it already i thought
[12:35] <Lazareth> gnomefreak: gaim
[12:35] <Lazareth> weird
[12:35] <Juhaz> pj_mfc, gphoto2 command line app might be bit closer, and IIRC, there's a fuse module that uses gphoto that might do what you want, but not familiar with it, and no idea if it's packaged for ubuntu.
[12:35] <therethinker> Rericsso: :P Its okay. So what is your graphics card, an nvidia?
[12:35] <taime1> is there a way to install an os from a file?
[12:35] <gnomefreak> Lazareth: it should be in the prefferences
[12:35] <taime1> as opposed to a cd...
[12:35] <gnomefreak> taime1: ubuntu you can mount the ISO

[12:36] <cn28h> any other ideas why ndiswraper might not work? I blacklisted bcm43xx and ran ndiswrapper -m, etc.  But the interface just never even shows up :/ even after I manually modprobe ndiswrapper (acx modules isn't loaded, either)

[12:36] <therethinker> funkmaster: My TV tuner is /dev/video0
[12:36] <slonbg> gnomefreak: any idea how to set the "display" for synaptic? I.e. most of x programs have --display or something. and how to find out what display is actually forwarded?
[12:36] <kl4m> Any backuppc users around?
[12:36] <kitche> cn28h: you need to reboot for blacklist to take effect
[12:36] <scorp123> funkmaster: maybe something like /dev/tuner0 ... or /dev/video0 ... and the soundcard would be /dev/dsp0 ....
[12:37] <taime1> i know about wubi, but it only applies to ubuntu
[12:37] <cn28h> kitche, oh, hm.let me boot back into ubuntu and see then
[12:37] <funkmaster> is there no command line command to see it?
[12:37] <cn28h> kitche, so blacklisting and rmmod doesn't count?
[12:37] <Jack_Sparrow> gnomefreak: I made up an image of a dos boot floppy that a linux user can use "dd" to make a floppy to fdisk /mbr and get windows back.. I had not seen one around...
[12:37] <cn28h> I mean, w/o reboot
[12:37] <pj_mfc> Okay, thanks.  Basically I have a corrupted SD card and I'm trying to get to the point where I can use ddrescue, photorec, or something like that.

[12:37] <funkmaster> lspci shows the stuff with 01:01 or something but what does that mean in terms of /dev/XYZ?

[12:37] <cn28h> hm all right well I'll see what happens
[12:37] <cn28h> bbiab
[12:37] <cn28h> thanks guys
[12:37] <pj_mfc> Juhaz, msg above..
[12:37] <kitche> cn28h: no rmmod should remove it but ndiswrapper won't work still
[12:37] <scorp123> funkmaster: these are probably vendor ID's or something like that ....
[12:37] <dcordes> The USB keyboard of my ancient machine is not working in the menu of the feisty server disc so I can't launch the setup. On bootup it works; I can access the bios with it. Also when I put the normal desktop cd with countdown in and the kernel is loading I can use the keyboard again. Any idea how to get around that??
[12:38] <cn28h> kitche, ah
[12:38] <slonbg> gnomefreak, thanks
[12:38] <gnomefreak> slonbg: are you using sudo to open synaptic on remote pc?
[12:38] <Juhaz> pj_mfc, I see. I'd recommend a card reader for that, I doubt you can get very low level access through ptp
[12:38] <funkmaster> hms so is there a way to find out?
[12:38] <slonbg> gnomefreak, tried both w/ and w/o
[12:38] <MaDiNfO_> .
[12:38] <pj_mfc> Juhaz, cool. I figured I might have to run out and get one of those.  Thanks a bunch.
[12:39] <gnomefreak> slonbg: not sure ill brb
[12:39] <RustyJames> dcordes, is there a setting in your BIOS like: use legacy usb support? try to use this
[12:39] <slonbg> gnomefreak, it works ok on my GUI-enabled workstation
[12:39] <therethinker> Rericsso: SO, what's the video card?
[12:39] <Jordan_U> slonbg, You could always run xterm and run synaptic from there
[12:39] <dcordes> RustyJames,  ok thanks will try
[12:39] <MarkSchmidt> hey Dromar I'm back *G*
[12:39] <lokieee> any beryl users here?  I'm having issues with the key

[12:43] <RustyJames> dcordes, glad i could help! had the same problem some time ago
[12:43] <Jordan_U> slonbg, I meant that you could set the display in xterm and it would carry on to any apps launched from it
[12:44] <slonbg> Jordan_U, that was the idea, how do I find out which is the "forwarded" display
[12:44] <therethinker> Rericsso: If its nVidia, hit ALT+F2, and type "gksudo nvidia-settings" (wo/ quotes), and you should be able to configure from there

[12:45] <Rericsso> therethinker: and yes, i see what you are writing, but i cant reply since im not a member

[12:46] <MojoRison> hello, my question is about the 64 bit version, is there any advantage/disadvantage to installing the 64 bit version.....i have a new computer with a amd turion 64 x2 processor....i guess i SHOULD use the 64 bit version?
[12:46] <javaJake> seamus7, make sure it's set to "Application" of course
[12:46] <MarkSchmidt> Dromar: i suppose with a new laptop it would get netter - and next time i'll have ati
[12:46] <Sonarx> I'm running feisty with an ATI 9550, all drivers installed fine and appear to be working, however images and video have very poor quality. The ui seems unaffected, any thoughts?

[12:47] <mannytu> can i get some help with card reader?
[12:47] <Rericsso> therethinker: np, i tried to register but my browser been wierd since i changed the port number for IRC, im using operas IRCclient
[12:47] <IdNotFound> MojoRison: there are a few... for instance, some bugs with Java for 64bit, and Adobe Flash not being avaiable... I can't tell you much though, because I don't have a 64bit cpu
[12:47] <Rericsso> therethinker: i cant seem to load any pages : /
[12:48] <seamus7> javaJake; I tried just creating a launcher that way but the path I entered didn't start the program ... there's a bin file and also a pre-made script in the directory ... ??
[12:49] <therethinker> Rericsso: Hmmm... try going into System>Admin>Restricted drivers
[12:49] <MojoRison> so.....i guess since i'm used to the regular version and dont really want any new headaches i'll just use it.
[12:49] <javaJake> seamus7, use the premade script then
[12:49] <therethinker> Rericsso: ATI and nVidia drivers are both restricted, so you'll be able to see which ones being used
[12:49] <javaJake> seamus7, if it will not launch, run the "Command" in a terminal and see what it says.
[12:49] <Dromar> MarkSchmidt, btw, perhaps with the open drivers you could just skip XGL

[12:49] <IdNotFound> np :)
[12:49] <MojoRison> ok....thanks again
[12:49] <Lazareth> Faldrien - just curious if it is taking a long time or if the case has been dropped :)
[12:49] <Rericsso> therethinker:  allready tried that , it says that my hardware doesnt need any restricted drivers
[12:49] <elementz> vmware workstation installer script asks me the following: 'What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)'
[12:49] <IdNotFound> caboose_1980: I believe Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) already has Firefox 2.0
[12:49] <MarkSchmidt> Dromar: tried those - they will only give me 1280 resolution on my card - I really tried every tutorial, my xorg.conf was plain and simple and should have been correct - but i just could not get 1680 like with the ATI drivers
[12:49] <elementz> what the heck? how would i know?
[12:49] <elementz> anybody?
[12:50] <IdNotFound> caboose_1980: do you have an older version, or none?
[12:50] <acewin> hello all, has anybody successfully configured X with GeForce 6150 LE with Dell E207WFP?
[12:50] <earthian> hello, how do i shutdown ubuntu from console?
[12:50] <seamus7> javaJake: i can get it to run in a terminal by changing to the directory and then using ./nameofgame
[12:50] <caboose_1980> well im trying to get themes for it and its not working
[12:50] <earthian> is it halt -p ?
[12:50] <caboose_1980> im not sure
[12:50] <javaJake> seamus7, ah, OK
[12:50] <seamus7> javaJake: what should I use in the launcher ... ?
[12:50] <ladydoor> earthian: sudo shutdown -h now
[12:50] <earthian> i.e. i am using it in a script like " wget blablabla && halt -p "
[12:50] <IdNotFound> elementz: /etc/init.d/
[12:50] <earthian> thanks ladydoor
[12:50] <javaJake> seamus7, make a new script, and punch in those commands that you use to start the game, one command per line
[12:50] <IdNotFound> elementz: actually, wait
[12:51] <IdNotFound> elementz: just /etc, sorry
[12:51] <ladydoor> earthian: No problem. Note that you do need root priviliges, which could make your script interesting.
[12:51] <javaJake> seamus7, save it as something like "nameofgame_customstart.sh" - something with the .sh ending
[12:51] <CVD> waitinggggggg?
[12:51] <earthian> yea
[12:51] <earthian> i am running as root it
[12:51] <elementz> IdNotFound, yep - searched myself *slapontheforehead* thx anyways
[12:51] <seamus7> javaJake: oh ok ... does a script need anything special at the beginning .. lilke ##bash or something
[12:51] <ladydoor> earthian: Cool.
[12:51] <javaJake> CVD, this channel is extremely busy. Big, long-to-debug, or other hard-to-answer questions will probably not get answered here. Your next best bet is the forums.
[12:51] <caboose_1980> ot how do i download adobe shockwave for 7.4?
[12:51] <caboose_1980> or~
[12:51] <javaJake> seamus7, #!/bin/bash
[12:52] <earthian> ladydoor, also is it bad to call HALT directly?
[12:52] <seamus7> javaJake: oh ok thx
[12:52] <IdNotFound> caboose_1980: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[12:52] <elementz> IdNotFound, now it asks me for the initscripts dir - that i really do not know - don't even know what an init. script ist - it suggests /etc/init.d
[12:52] <IdNotFound> caboose_1980: you need the appropriate repositories enabled, though... I believe it is on restricted or multiverse
[12:52] <javaJake> seamus7, last step, while you are in the same directory as the newly created script, run "chmod u+x <nameofscript.sh>"
[12:52] <IdNotFound> elementz: go for it :)
[12:52] <ladydoor> earthian: I don't think so
[12:52] <CVD> ok thansk
[12:52] <aguitel> hello
[12:52] <seamus7> javaJake: ok
[12:52] <earthian> ok
[12:52] <elementz> IdNotFound, thx
[12:53] <earthian> thanks etc
[12:53] <aguitel> how update firefox from terminal?
[12:53] <earthian> good night :)
[12:53] <javaJake> seamus7, without that, Linux will not let you run the script. It's a security feature. :)
[12:53] <ladydoor> earthian: However, I believe that if you call halt when not at a shutdown or reboot runlevel, it'll just call shutdown anyway
[12:53] <javaJake> seamus7, you have to tell Linux what specifically can be run.
[12:53] <ladydoor> earthian: (According to the manpage)
[12:53] <meta4ical> Jordan_U: Are you there?
[12:53] <earthian> ok
[12:53] <IdNotFound> elementz: no problem. /etc/init.d has scripts that the system runs when booting or shutting down. they start/stop services and whatever else is needed
[12:53] <Le_F0u> how can i shut down a pc from a terminal?
[12:53] <javaJake> meta4ical, Jordan_U is not presently in this channel.
[12:54] <Rericsso> therethinker: ok
[12:54] <stanthecaddy22> Le_F0u: shutdown -h now
[12:54] <funkmaster> can someone please help me I need to find out how my soundcards and tv tuner are called in '/dev/XYZ' form, is there some command line command i can use? some info about my system http://pastebin.ca/641116
[12:54] <meta4ical> javajake: My bad ;p
[12:54] <javaJake> :)
[12:54] <elementz> IdNotFound, good to know - htx
[12:54] <IdNotFound> elementz: basically, the rc0.d, rc1.d, etc on the previous steps controls what init.d scripts should be executed when ;)
[12:54] <elementz> uh thx
[12:54] <therethinker> rericsso: hmm, did you try running that command anyway?
[12:54] <Morthy> When I run any program using wine, the sound is sent to my soundcard rather then my USB headphones - is there any way I can change this?
[12:54] <elementz> IdNotFound, ah thx
[12:54] <caboose_1980> it said this
[12:54] <IdNotFound> elementz: no problem :)
[12:54] <caboose_1980> Download done.
[12:54] <caboose_1980> md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[12:54] <caboose_1980> The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[12:54] <meta4ical> Morthy: Have you run winecfg?
[12:55] <javaJake> Morthy, try running winecfg and see if there's an option there
[12:55] <Morthy> meta4ical: Yes
[12:55] <javaJake> Morthy, Audio tab specifically
[12:55] <Le_F0u> thx stanthecaddy22
[12:55] <IdNotFound> caboose_1980: oh right, it seems adobe changed something on the original file... somebody had a link somewhere, let me look it up
[12:55] <Morthy> The audio tab doesn't really look complete, but I selected the 'alsa' driver
[12:55] <Rericsso> therethinker: you mean using the Restricted drivers manager?
[12:55] <caboose_1980> ok thanks
[12:55] <javaJake> Morthy, yep, OK.
[12:55] <dcordes> does the server disc come with openssh-server installed?
[12:55] <therethinker> rericsso: No, alt+F2 , type in gksudo nvidia-settings
[12:56] <jacob> does anybody know how to change my splash screen
[12:57] <javaJake> jacob, splash screen for what specifically?
[12:57] <jacob> i need somebody to teach me how to change my splash screen everytime i log in my
[12:57] <jacob> account
[12:57] <Rericsso> therethinker: am i supposed to run it in the teminal?

[12:58] <javaJake> jacob, for one there's System -> Administration -> Login Window
[12:58] <OEM99TW00184> hello all :)
[12:58] <funkmaster> someone knows how to find out how my soundcards and tv tuner are called in '/dev/XYZ' form, is there some command line command i can use? some info about my system http://pastebin.ca/641116
[12:58] <funkmaster> someone got a clue?
[12:58] <jacob> javajake: then i go to this site and then drag and drop? http://art.gnome.org/themes/splash_screens/
[12:58] <cn28h> so I have bcm43xx blacklisted, rebooted, but still no luck with ndiswrapper
[12:59] <therethinker> rericsso: Yeah, but pressing Alt-F2 will allow you to run it wo/ a terminal
[12:59] <cables> funkmaster, soundcards are usually /dev/dsp, i dunno about tv tuners.
[12:59] <cn28h> it doesn't autoload and if I load it with modprobe, still nothing
[12:59] <javaJake> jacob, ah, now we are getting somewhere. :)
[12:59] <javaJake> jacob, you meant those splashscreens... one moment
[12:59] <funkmaster> i have 2 sound cards
[12:59] <funkmaster> that's why i'm asking
[12:59] <jacob> javajake: well yeah, that's what i meant
[12:59] <caboose_1980> i need adobe shockwave for ubuntu 7.4
[12:59] <funkmaster> there shoudl be some sort of command
[12:59] <jacob> javajake: splashscreens
[12:59] <funkmaster> anyone knows?
[12:59] <gibbster> Hi guys. Not strictly a ubuntu question, but what do you guys use for gnome text editors?
[12:59] <Rericsso> therethinker: ok, it asked for my pass, but after i wrote it and pressed enter nothing happned
[12:59] <javaJake> jacob, http://art.gnome.org/faq.php#q8
[12:59] <IdNotFound> caboose_1980: try taking a look at this link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/125131
[01:00] <javaJake> jacob, they have information on how to install all sorts of stuff in that FAQ
[01:00] <IdNotFound> caboose_1980: there are some updated .debs linked there, try installing it
[01:00] <jacob> javajake: thanks alot
[01:00] <caboose_1980> thats flash not shockwave
[01:00] <IdNotFound> caboose_1980: oh I see... damn, sorry >_<
[01:00] <javaJake> jacob, np
[01:00] <RustyJames> gibbster, gedit?
[01:00] <caboose_1980> its ok
[01:00] <IdNotFound> caboose_1980: I don't know then, let's try the channel bot
[01:00] <gibbster> I'm looking for something with a 'find in files' functionality
[01:00] <IdNotFound> !shockwave | caboose_1980
[01:00] <ubotu> caboose_1980: Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[01:00] <cn28h> gibbster, geany maybe
[01:00] <gibbster> haven't found any yet
[01:01] <javaJake> gibbster, ah yes, I was looking for such a feature myself. :)
[01:01] <javaJake> gibbster, you can do it on the command line in one directory only
[01:01] <Morthy> Are the scripts ran in /etc/init.d ran during boot, or while I log in?
[01:01] <cn28h> you can do it recursively from the command line as well
[01:01] <cn28h> in as many directories as you like
[01:01] <LiberCogito> Stupid question:  Can I burn a liveCD iso onto a DVD?
[01:01] <therethinker> Rericsso:Then I assume you don't have an nvidia card. You also don't have an ATI one...
[01:01] <gibbster> javajake: yeah, I know you can do it with find...
[01:01] <ladydoor> Morthy: At boot.
[01:01] <javaJake> gibbster, egrep <Regex search pattern> <files to search>
[01:01] <gibbster> but that's not all that convenient
[01:01] <Music_Shuffle> LiberCogito, yes.
[01:01] <therethinker> Rericsso: I don't know
[01:02] <javaJake> gibbster, for example...
[01:02] <caboose_1980> nevermind all this is too confusing
[01:02] <Rericsso> therethinker: hm, i thought i told you
[01:02] <Morthy> ladydoor: Thanks
[01:02] <javaJake> gibbster, egrep IWantThisText *.htm
[01:02] <LiberCogito> Music_Shuffle:  Thanks!
[01:02] <Rericsso> therethinker: i have a Radeon Mobility 7500
[01:02] <gibbster> it would be nice to have it integrated in the editor...
[01:02] <javaJake> gibbster, it'll search all htm files within the current directory for that text.
[01:02] <Music_Shuffle> :)
[01:02] <javaJake> gibbster, I created a script for this specific task a while ago
[01:02] <therethinker> Rericsso: Oh, no I didn't see that!
[01:02] <javaJake> gibbster, let me see if I can find it
[01:02] <Rericsso> therethinker: hehe, ok
[01:02] <ladydoor> Morthy: No problem. You can start things on login through some command provided by your window manager of choice. If you login to a commandline, I can help you more there.
[01:02] <Rericsso> therethinker: sorry ^^
[01:03] <cn28h> gibbster, perhaps you should try emacs then
[01:03] <meta4ical> Does anyone know how I can change the name I gave my computer during installation?
[01:03] <javaJake> gibbster, it opens the files that have the text in gedit
[01:03] <RustyJames> gibbster, how about the search file tool?
[01:03] <RyukZilla> hi all!
[01:03] <javaJake> RustyJames, say what?
[01:03] <gibbster> emacs... yeah maybe
[01:03] <gibbster> bit of a learning curve, though
[01:03] <therethinker> Rericsso: not your fault ;-)
[01:03] <Morthy> ladydoor: I want to run this command during boot, every time: rmmod snd_hda_intel - So I can disable my soundcard device
[01:03] <javaJake> RustyJames, gibbster, oh, right Places -> Search for Files
[01:03] <Morthy> ladydoor: It won't let me run it after I'm logged in
[01:03] <gibbster> maybe it's worth the effort
[01:03] <ladydoor> gibbster: It's good stuff once you get used to it, though. I'm listening to music, doing IRC, and working on a paper in it ATM.
[01:04] <cn28h> gibbster, I haven't found any other text editor that I like as much
[01:04] <gibbster> scribes is kindof cool
[01:04] <gibbster> for the 'templates' functionality
[01:04] <RustyJames> gibbster, try Places -> Search for Files advanced options should work like the wiindows search
[01:04] <ladydoor> Morthy: Perhaps an easier solution would be to add that module to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[01:04] <javaJake> ladydoor, how do you do that!? :D
[01:04] <Morthy> ladydoor: Ah thanks, I'll try that :)
[01:04] <ladydoor> javaJake: Magic
[01:04] <javaJake> ladydoor, no, seriously. :)
[01:04] <gibbster> RustyJames: yeah. but that requires copy/pasting
[01:04] <javaJake> ladydoor, I thought emacs was just a file editor
[01:05] <ladydoor> javaJake: Well, it's written in lisp, so it's extensible. So people extended it. *shrug*. More info. can be found at #emacs or at emacswiki.org :-)
[01:05] <therethinker> Rericsso: hmmm... I can't seem to find a configuration tool for ATI, and I've never been able to successfully edit the display configuration by hand -- so you should ask someone else
[01:05] <gibbster> RustyJames: not that I'm dismissing your solution ;-)

[01:06] <exile> hey all, I really need some help with starting this service daemon, I've asked here 4 days in a row and I get different answers, I basically need 1 on 1 explanation of start-stop-daemon if anyone would mind PMing me and answering some questions that would be great, thank you.
[01:06] <gibbster> you can do scribes-like template with emacs, right?
[01:06] <ladydoor> javaJake: (No offense; it's just that it's a bit OT here)
[01:06] <jacob> javajake:how do i access the panel menu
[01:06] <javaJake> jacob, I don't understand what your question is
[01:06] <jacob> javajake: panel menu > system tools > configuration editor
[01:07] <javaJake> Oh
[01:07] <javaJake> jacob, punch in Alt+F2, and a window will appear. In that window type gconf-editor, and hit Enter.
[01:07] <Rericsso> therethinker: hm, ok , the thing is. The tv find the laptop but its just black. im using the ibm's Fn + Fx specific controls to change monitor mode.
[01:07] <Rericsso> therethinker: it find the source
[01:08] <dem0n> hey
[01:08] <Rericsso> therethinker: but its just another shade of black
[01:08] <dem0n> is there any way to get the root password i got parranoide and changed it and i forgot it
[01:08] <meta4ical> dem0n: I think it's against policy to tell you how to change it
[01:09] <Skaziman> hallo
[01:09] <dem0n> ?
[01:09] <Rericsso> therethinker: well, thanks for trying ^^
[01:09] <meta4ical> dem0n: Mainly because it's widely felt that if you don't even know how to change it, you shouldn't be root in the first place.
[01:09] <MarkSchmidt> wups - sorry Dromar if I pinged you now several times
[01:09] <ladydoor> dem0n: Ubuntu encourages the use of sudo instead of su/the use of a root password
[01:09] <RyanT5000> why does libnspr4-dev conflict with everything?
[01:09] <Skaziman> german ??
[01:09] <nullcode> dem0n, try to locally exploit it =p
[01:09] <dem0n> sudo still need pw for it
[01:09] <jacob> javajake: i don't know what to do
[01:09] <RyanT5000> what are the proper things to install for developing with spidermonkey?
[01:09] <cn28h> dem0n, do you still have sudo access?
[01:09] <dem0n> no null but if you could help me to do that come channel hbc

[01:10] <nullcode> what kernel ?
[01:10] <ladydoor> dem0n: sudo needs your password, though, not root's
[01:10] <IdNotFound> Can anyone give me some sense on what is the feisty-proposed repository? Is is something like debian's testing?

[01:11] <BudgetDedicated> what is the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu-server ?
[01:11] <liquiddoom> I'm trying to install Edgy on an imac G3, and I'll hear the ubuntu startup noise from the livecd, but I see no video
[01:11] <liquiddoom> ssh will not be installed by default, run sudo apt-get install ssh

[01:12] <meta4ical> Morthy: I'm curious and rather new to wine, may I ask what you're running?
[01:12] <ladydoor> Morthy: No problem!
[01:12] <mannytu> anyone knows the command to see your hardware?
[01:12] <dem0n> ... ok whjat about the files that needed su to install i cant move them no more or anything

[01:12] <javaJake> jacob, OK
[01:12] <Morthy> meta4ical: It's all working good now, just need to fix around 0.2 seconds of sound lag
[01:12] <liquiddoom> manntytu: lspci, or sudo lshw to see alll hardware
[01:12] <jacob> javajake: let me paste the file in the gnome folder very quickly
[01:13] <javaJake> OK
[01:13] <jacob> javajake: the splash screen
[01:13] <meta4ical> Morthy: wow mind if I private message you? I've had Ubuntu about 3 days and that's what I want working under wine -- in fact ALL i want working under wine
[01:13] <javaJake> jacob, can you tell me exactly what folder?
[01:13] <__MK__> whats the software to convert .bin to .iso images ?
[01:13] <hvgotcodes> anyone else have problems with ipw2200 not connecting via dhcp?
[01:13] <ladydoor> __MK__: bchunk
[01:13] <Morthy> meta4ical: Sure
[01:13] <jacob> .gnome folder
[01:13] <meta4ical> Morthy: I'm on a cal-im team and switched to Ubuntu hoping to still have CS lol :)
[01:13] <Morthy> Hehe
[01:13] <jacob> javajake: .gnome folder
[01:13] <meta4ical> Morthy: Oops I must refrain from going off-topic, k thanks I'll pm you
[01:14] <__MK__> thanks
[01:14] <javaJake> OK
[01:14] <javaJake> jacob, OK
[01:14] <__MK__> btw how to mount iso images in terminal ?
[01:14] <CTho> if i have focus on the desktop, i can start typing to pick something
[01:14] <CTho> can i get it to beep if i type something that doesn't exist, like Windows does?
[01:15] <meta4ical> Morthy: Did you recieve my PM? or is xchat being troublesome =/
[01:15] <cn28h> __MK__, just like mounting aything else but you'll probably want -o loop
[01:15] <Morthy> meta4ical: I got an error saying that it blocked it as I'm unregistered
[01:15] <MarkSchmidt> brb
[01:15] <jacob> javajake: ok i'm don
[01:15] <liquiddoom> __MK__: I believe they can be mounted using mount -t iso9600 file.iso /mountpoint/
[01:15] <meta4ical> Morthy: Oh .. do you have msn by chance?
[01:15] <jacob> javajake: what'
[01:15] <Amon-san> hi. i got a problem while logging in
[01:15] <liquiddoom> erm, 9660
[01:15] <jacob> javajake: what's next
[01:15] <Amon-san> i can enter my user and pass
[01:15] <Morthy> meta4ical: Sure, add<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[01:15] <javaJake> jacob, hit Alt+F2
[01:15] <javaJake> jacob, window appears
[01:15] <Amon-san> but the login screen just reappears again
[01:15] <jacob> ok i did that part
[01:15] <javaJake> jacob, type "gconf-editor" in that window
[01:16] <javaJake> jacob, and hit ENTER
[01:16] <exile> Is it possible to make a really simple init.d script that would just run a program? instead of all that complicated stuff in the scripts that come with ubuntu?
[01:16] <Amon-san> rightnow i'm logged in with bash only
[01:16] <liquiddoom> exile: init.d scripts are shellscripts
[01:16] <jacob> javajake: ok go on
[01:16] <__MK__> liquiddoom: whats the -o loop command for ? like mount -t iso9600 -o loop ?
[01:16] <javaJake> jacob, next to each folder in this new window is an arrow. With each folder I mention click that arrow so that the folder expands
[01:16] <exile> liquiddoom: so they would be complicated for me no matter what =\ at this point in time
[01:16] <javaJake> jacob, apps
[01:16] <javaJake> jacob, gnome-session
[01:17] <liquiddoom> __MK__: not sure
[01:17] <cn28h> __MK__, -o loop means it's a file rather than a block device
[01:17] <Amon-san> can anyone help me please?
[01:17] <javaJake> jacob, now actually click on the folder "options" listed under gnome-session
[01:17] <cn28h> __MK__, man mount and have a look atthe description
[01:18] <liquiddoom> exile: hmm. you can make one like this: #!/bin/bash (new line) commandgoeshere
[01:18] <ladydoor> Amon-san: what desktop environment are you using, and does it spit out any errors?
[01:18] <Amon-san> gnome
[01:18] <jacob> javajake: ok
[01:18] <Amon-san> no errors on 1st login
[01:18] <javaJake> Amon-san, your problem sounsd like it'll take 30+ minutes to solve, if you are lucky. This channel is very busy, and many people don't have that kind of time. You can try #xorg, but if IRC fails you, forums are your best bet
[01:18] <javaJake> jacob, you'll see a bunch of new options in the right pane
[01:18] <therethinker> is there a way to manually install bcm4306 stuff?
[01:18] <Amon-san> then errors about programs that already have been started
[01:18] <jacob> javajake: ok
[01:18] <javaJake> jacob, one of which is splash_screen
[01:18] <Amon-san> and that the last session was unter 10 seconds
[01:18] <NET||abuse> Has anyone got a clue how to make a copy of a VirtualBox Machine image and so fork the image off, i have an image, xp1, i want xp2 which i will update with some things like IE7
[01:19] <MarkSchmidt> re
[01:19] <exile> liquiddoom: basically what i'm trying to do is run a program in the background, it sounds extremely simple but for some reason I can't figure it out and I'm at the newb stage of terminal. I just want a program to run, and when I close terminal on my windows machine it stays running.
[01:19] <javaJake> jacob, click on the text next to "splash_screen" so that it turns into a text box.
[01:19] <ladydoor> Amon-san: tell you what, try this:  sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[01:19] <javaJake> jacob, my window says "splash/ubuntu-splash.png", but yours may say something different
[01:19] <Amon-san> javaJake i have bash only
[01:19] <jacob> javajake: thanks
[01:19] <liquiddoom> exile: Try this: program &
[01:19] <Amon-san> forums are a pain to read like that
[01:19] <therethinker> exile: Try running it by pressing ALT+F2
[01:19] <ladydoor> Amon-san: (I want to see if I can at least get you into a graphical environment from which you can seek more help.
[01:19] <ladydoor> )
[01:19] <javaJake> Amon-san, true true.
[01:19] <liquiddoom> exile: If you do that, it'll run in the background.
[01:19] <ladydoor> Amon-san: Let me know when you've done that.
[01:19] <jacob> javajake: what do i put in the text box though
[01:20] <tcstech> exile program  -&  ...>.<  not . fast . enough1
[01:20] <exile> liquiddoom: I tried that, and it says "command does not exsist"  and if it try ./ventrilo_srv it works but ./ventrilo_srv & doesn't
[01:20] <Amon-san> i got to graphical login. and the shell there was stable
[01:20] <liquiddoom> exile: try using the full path
[01:20] <javaJake> jacob, /home/<yourusernamehere>/.gnome/<nameofsplashfile>
[01:20] <Dromar> MarkSchmidt, i don't mind ^^ (really late this time :o)
[01:20] <Amon-san> normal login and safe mode did not worj
[01:20] <tcstech> use the switch luke... trust your feelings
[01:20] <ladydoor> Amon-san: Ah, so you can log in alright then?
[01:20] <Amon-san> *work
[01:20] <jacob> javajake: ok thanks
[01:20] <javaJake> jacob, if your login name is jacob, and your file was named splash.png, it would look like this:
[01:20] <Amon-san> i can login
[01:21] <tcstech> exile ... use -&
[01:21] <javaJake> jacob, /home/jacob/.gnome/splash.png
[01:21] <Amon-san> but the loginprompt always comes back
[01:21] <liquiddoom> exile: /home/$USER/ventrilo_srv &, perhaps
[01:21] <ladydoor> Amon-san: ...Okay, so it logs you right back out again, then?
[01:21] <javaJake> Amon-san, have you tried Failsafe GNOME in Options -> Session?
[01:21] <Amon-san> didn't work either
[01:21] <javaJake> ladydoor, sorry, can't help myself but suggest things.
[01:21] <Dromar> MarkSchmidt, btw, good night :)
[01:21] <ladydoor> javaJake: No worries!
[01:21] <javaJake> :)
[01:21] <ladydoor> javaJake: More help=more goodness
[01:21] <tcstech> exile you want ~/ventrilo_srv -&
[01:22] <therethinker>  is there a way to manually install bcm4306 stuff?
[01:22] <therethinker> (wireless adaptor)
[01:22] <javaJake> ladydoor, Amon-san, how about Failsafe Terminal?
[01:22] <ladydoor> Amon-san: Alright. Well, basically I'd like to help you get into another window manager for the moment, from which you can more comfortably try to debug your problem.
[01:22] <Amon-san> failsafe terminal works
[01:22] <overridex-laptop> does anyone know if there's something equivilent to bluetooth:/// from konqueur in gnome?  a way to transfer files to a bluetooth device
[01:22] <ladydoor> Amon-san: If you'd like to pursue that option, that is.
[01:22] <javaJake> ladydoor, Amon-san, OK, it's probably GNOME itself then.
[01:22] <therethinker> !bcm4306 | therethinker
[01:22] <jacob> javajake: thx, i might come back to you for something else
[01:22] <Amon-san> is that any better than not loggin in via graphical?
[01:22] <javaJake> ladydoor, Amon-san, continue. I just wanted to figure that bit out. :)
[01:22] <javaJake> jacob, I may not be here. :)
[01:22] <ladydoor> javaJake: Fair enough
[01:23] <therethinker> !bcm4306
[01:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bcm4306 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:23] <exile> tcstech: what happens when the program sees the -& as one of it's own arguments and tells me it's not in it's programming
[01:23] <jacob> javajake: well then i'll ask somebody else, thx anyways
[01:23] <killown> What the best virtual desktop for linux to emulate windows xp?
[01:23] <ladydoor> Amon-san: Was that directed at me? If so, you can probably log into it from GDM, if you want.
[01:23] <therethinker> !bcm43xx
[01:23] <ubotu> Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[01:23] <FunnyLookinHat> killown, Xen and VMWare both work pretty well.
[01:23] <killown> FunnyLookinHat thanks a lot
[01:23] <Amon-san> god i cant follow the lines onsceen
[01:23] <javaJake> killown, QEMU as well.
[01:23] <javaJake> killown, which you can get in apt-get.
[01:23] <Amon-san> too much traffic in here
[01:24] <javaJake> Amon-san, you using XChat?
[01:24] <javaJake> Amon-san, oh, right, nvm
[01:24] <ladydoor> Amon-san: Yeah, it's tough. Incidentally, it would make it easier on me if you'd preface things addressed to me with my nick, as I'm doing for you.
[01:24] <Amon-san> bitchx
[01:24] <Amon-san> i'm on bash only ...
[01:24] <killown> javaJake, qemu + windows xp = horrible
[01:24] <ladydoor> Amon-san: irssi will highlight mentions of your nick. *shrug*
[01:24] <javaJake> Amon-san, ladydoor, try joining a private channel, say, #Amon-san-issue
[01:24] <Amon-san> ladydoor can we do this on query?
[01:26] <ladydoor> Amon-san: Did you get that?
[01:26] <chrisb17> Hello
[01:26] <foug> Kohvihoor: what do i do after i type that long command?
[01:27] <chrisb17> i am trying 2 install ubuntu on my friends laptop :), but i there is no option to resize and i cant figure out why, there is only erase largest free space or manual
[01:27] <parag0n> use manual
[01:27] <chrisb17> i need 2 resize though
[01:27] <parag0n> i think you resize form within that
[01:28] <alivedata> be careful resizing
[01:28] <Kohvihoor> foug: what command?
[01:28] <javaJake> chrisb17, you did backup right? :)
[01:28] <foug> Kohvihoor: mount -o loop -t
[01:28] <javaJake> chrisb17, resizing can be risky.
[01:28] <Kohvihoor> foug: go to /media/iso
[01:29] <foug> Kohvihoor: nothing is there
[01:29] <therethinker> chrisb17:System>Admin>GNOME Partion Editor -- much easier
[01:29] <alivedata> javajake: you are best off to install to a partition etc
[01:30] <javaJake> alivedata, not me, chrisb17
[01:30] <Kohvihoor> foug: maybe you did something wrong.
[01:30] <alivedata> sorry
[01:30] <javaJake> np
[01:30] <foug> Kohvihoor: mount -o loop -t iso9660 Dues Ex.iso /media/iso
[01:30] <alivedata> anyone installed xen for testing purposes on their feisty workstation?
[01:30] <Kohvihoor> foug: put \ after Dues
[01:31] <meta4ical> Anyone here running Steam under wine on Ubuntu ?
[01:31] <Kohvihoor> foug: mount -o loop -t iso9660 Dues\ Ex.iso /media/iso
[01:31] <therethinker> meta4ical: I didn't think that was possible?
[01:31] <meta4ical> therethinker: Was that sarcasm? ;o
[01:31] <slonbg> I asked earlier, but noone could help. hopefully someone have joined and knows. I connect to ubuntu box with ssh -X, but it does not create DISPLAY variable, so it does not forward X requests. In /var/log/messages I do not see any error message about this. Any idea what should I check?
[01:31] <Kohvihoor> meta4ical: i am, well, was til this morning
[01:31] <foug> Kohvihoor: still nothing there, it tells me usage Mount -v -h -l
[01:32] <therethinker> meta4ical: sadly, no :P
[01:32] <therethinker> meta4ical: im no expert, but I thought it didn't work
[01:32] <meta4ical> therethinker: Ubuntu recieved a gold on compatiblity with steam :P
[01:32] <meta4ical> therethinker: It most definetly works, I'm just having a specific problem
[01:32] <therethinker> meta4ical: Oh XD Sorry :p
[01:33] <el_isma> Hi. Wierd question: In openoffice, how do you make numbered equations?
[01:33] <Kohvihoor> meta4ical: what problem?
[01:33] <therethinker> el_isma: numbered equasions? Like in Calc (the spreadsheet thing)
[01:33] <alivedata> slonb - run a ps -ef |grep /usr/X11R6/bin/X
[01:33] <meta4ical> Kohvihoor: Steam installs perfectly fine, no problems there. But when I type in my username and password it says it failed
[01:33] <alivedata> notice that on that line it says -nolisten
[01:33] <markrian> therethinker: no, I think el_isma means more like LaTeX can do
[01:34] <sungq> as
[01:34] <bulmer> slonbg  open up another xterm on another window and type xhost +ipofremotehost
[01:34] <foug> Kohvihoor: should i try mount -t?
[01:34] <foug> Kohvihoor: how did you say you did .iso's earlier?
[01:34] <el_isma> therethinker: like "(some eq) (1)" which I can then auto-reference and it gets updated automatically
[01:34] <therethinker> therethinker: Oh, sorry. You take it then ;-)
[01:34] <slonbg> bulmer: the machine I connect from, or the machine I connect to
[01:34] <therethinker> markrian: Oh, sorry. You take it then ;-)
[01:35] <therethinker> (I talk to myself sometimes :P)
[01:35] <el_isma> lol
[01:35] <alivedata> slonbg - your prob is with X and nolisten
[01:35] <alivedata> on your local system
[01:35] <Kohvihoor> foug: sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 serious.iso /media/virtual that works for me
[01:35] <markrian> el_isma, therethinker, I'm afraid I hate OpenOffice and know nothing of its workings ;o
[01:36] <slonbg> alivedata: from the same machine I can connect to other machines with ssh -X, and they work. never used xhost
[01:36] <Kohvihoor> foug: try to rename the file all lowercase without spaces
[01:36] <foug> Kohvihoor: so make a virtual folder in my media folder then try that?
[01:36] <apeitheo> Does Feisty come by default with a kernel later than <IP_ADDRESS>?
[01:36] <meta4ical> clear
[01:36] <slonbg> alivedata: so the machine I connect from, and where the X server is, is OK IMO
[01:36] <foug> Kohvihoor: nope
[01:37] <therethinker> markrian: my LaTeX knowledge is limited, so I can't help ;(
[01:37] <bulmer> slonbg the machine you are connecting from
[01:37] <el_isma> therethinker: OOo doesn't use latex
[01:37] <alivedata> slonbg: k - so you are listening for connections within X?
[01:37] <samuel_> Pessoal, vocs sabem como tirar o cone "Configurao manual de rede" da Systry do ubuntu?
[01:39] <raziekiel> Anyone know a good open source prog for ripping dvds to avi format? My friend uses DVDFab but it's neither open, nor buitl for linux.
[01:39] <therethinker> el_isma: He just said it was LaTeX?
[01:39] <therethinker> el_isma: I don't know, anyway
[01:39] <bulmer> slonbg: do you know for sure that the remote end have X enabled? some places like my school does not enable X..so i cant use gui remotely
[01:39] <slonbg> bulmer, alivedata: looks like the xhost is enabled on the machine i connect from. how can I list what is enabled, because I just today learned about xhost (i.e. never used it before), and I was able to connect to other machines.
[01:39] <osxdude|lap> is there an app that will plainly run an app?
[01:39] <slonbg> bulmer: I fully control all the machines
[01:40] <osxdude|lap> I cannot use terminal
[01:40] <slonbg> bulmer: and all look like everything is OK, at least sshd_config says XForwarding yes
[01:40] <bulmer> slonbg: do you know if the remote machine forwards X at all?
[01:40] <hende07> does anyone know a good mp3 format burning program all the programs i got wanna make wave format cds
[01:40] <pike__> raziekiel: you might take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=193754&highlight=avi+dvd+script  ive been meaning to try that script. in any case it might give you an idea though youre trying to do the opposite :)
[01:40] <slonbg> bulmer, it should, the setting is enabled in the config
[01:41] <bulmer> slonbg well have you done what i suggested yet?
[01:41] <hende07> anybody/??
[01:41] <pike__> hende07: k3b is usually the bells and whistles choice then you need to install also the k3b mp3 plugin
[01:41] <alivedata> fyi - the nolisten option lives in  vi /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc - sounds like this is not your issue
[01:41] <pwnguin> does anyone know of a bluetooth compatibility list for linux?
[01:41] <hende07> whats the plugin called cause i can burn wave just not mp3 with k3b
[01:42] <jason___> can anyone tell me how to install libdvdcss on gutsy amd64?
[01:42] <slonbg> bulmer: i will. just i'm curious why it was set up in first place, and why it works with other machines, as i never ever used xhost before. so before I enable tish host, i would like to see what is enabled
[01:43] <pwnguin> jason___: you'd have to ask the medibuntu people, as it's their package
[01:43] <jason___> is there a gutsy repo yet?
[01:43] <pwnguin> jason___: i doubt it
[01:43] <pike__> hende07: not sure im on debian atm. id apt-cache search k3b shouldnt be too many to scroll through
[01:43] <alivedata> slonbg: did you say that the X libraries are in fact installed on that node?
[01:43] <hende07> huh???
[01:43] <jason___> thx pwnguin
[01:44] <jason___> i used it coz new hardware
[01:44] <pwnguin> jason___: video card drivers?
[01:44] <jason___> im a trucker
[01:44] <hende07> im lost
[01:44] <slonbg> alivedata: the host I connect to? I'm not sure. It is a text install. But then I installed synaptic, and it it is build OK, it should pull all dependencies, right?
[01:44] <mannytu> thank you
[01:44] <jason___> i cant find that either
[01:44] <pike__> hende07: search for k3b in the package manager one of the packages will be for the mp3 support
[01:45] <pwnguin> jason___: find what?
[01:45] <jason___> there was a simple way to do the proprietary drivers in feisty
[01:45] <pwnguin> oh, drivers
[01:45] <jason___> even it didnt work
[01:45] <pike__> hende07: just type this 'sudo apt-get install libk3b2-mp3' :)
[01:46] <pwnguin> jason___: unfortunately, nvidia keeps pulling stupid tricks with their drivers and dropping support for things people still use
[01:47] <pwnguin> jason___: so there's now three nvidia binary pacakges: nvidia-legacy, nvidia-glx, and nvidia-new-glx
 Kohvihoor: nope << no you don't need to do that
[01:47] <seamus7> What would be some fun things I could do by setting up a server on my laptop?
[01:47] <hende07> it says its temporarily unavailable
[01:47] <foug> Kohvihoor: so, mount -o loop -t duesex.iso /media/virtual
[01:47] <foug> ?
[01:47] <techII> seamus7: low power usage?
[01:48] <pramod> hi
[01:48] <techII> or serving something out of a park
[01:48] <pwnguin> seamus7: cheap battery backup?
[01:48] <Kohvihoor> foug: it doesn't matter what you name the folder
[01:48] <pike__> foug: leave out the -t or do -t iso9660
[01:48] <techII> that too
[01:48] <slonbg> bulmer: btw, just executed xhost +iptoremote, and still the same problem
[01:48] <__MK__> could anybody tell me how to mount an iso image in linux ?
[01:48] <foug> pike__: sudo -t iso9660 duesex.iso /media/iso ?
[01:48] <__MK__> i asked this before but my internet stopped working :P
[01:49] <pike__> foug: __MK__ sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt
[01:49] <alivedata> slonbg: you can successfully connect to other nodes and pull xsessions from the box that you are testing from - correct?
[01:49] <pramod> HI.. Please tell me how can i upgrade ubuntu 5.10 to the latest version.
[01:49] <dem0n> duhh all i had todo is sudo passwd rootr
[01:49] <pike__> but the -t isnt needed
[01:49] <dem0n> duhh all i had todo is sudo passwd root
[01:49] <seamus7> techll: pwnguin: this would be for fun and learning about SQL, etc. ... what would some basic apps and use for my own personal server ... given that like most I am limited by a meager upload bandwidth.??
[01:49] <__MK__> only /mnt, no need someting like /mnt/iso ?
[01:49] <Morthy|> Heya, Is there a way to make the bar that lists what programs I'm running larger? For example, so it lists two rows of apps rather than one?
[01:49] <dem0n> but can some one  help me with my sshd
[01:50] <__MK__> what is the -t for ?
[01:50] <slonbg> alivedata: correct. just this one ubuntu box can't
[01:50] <Techguy84> well, i asked this on xunbuntu irc and didnt get a reply so im gonna ask here. Personal Expiernece, will xubuntu run on a p2 400 w/156MB Ram? and stil have some functionallity. Wanting to move it from win2k
[01:50] <Tu13es> any idea why i can view my HFS+ files if I sudo nautilus, but if I'm not sudo, I can't?
[01:50] <Tu13es> and/or how to fix it
[01:50] <Tu13es> ?
[01:50] <pike__> __MK__: any dir will do. i wouldnt actually mount it to /mnt/ something like /mnt/myiso or whatever
[01:50] <r0b-> nixternal u here man
[01:50] <Hexi> anyone know a way to convert .mdf to .iso?  I've been using bchunk to convert bin/cue, but not sure about .mdf
[01:50] <foug> pike__: i don't know if anything happened
[01:50] <pike__> __MK__: so just mkdir /mnt/something
[01:50] <bulmer> slonbg did you type it literally as iptoremote or something like <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[01:50] <foug> pike__: nothing came up in /media/iso
[01:50] <__MK__> ok
[01:50] <techII> mysql postgresql
[01:50] <pike__> foug: type 'mount' to see if it is mounted
[01:50] <slonbg> alivedata: but again, it was instaled as "server", no GUI on it, so no X from the begining.
[01:50] <__MK__> but i need to create that dir first right ?
[01:51] <pike__> __MK__: yeah
[01:51] <slonbg> bulmer: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[01:51] <__MK__> and what is the -t for ?
[01:51] <pike__> __MK__: i often just mount to /media/cdrom though some apps like wine expect the cd to be there
[01:51] <foug> pike__: hmm, i'm in /media/iso, typed in mount and a long list of things came up.
[01:51] <pike__> __MK__: the type. specifying iso9660 isnt needed
[01:52] <bulmer> slonbg: well i dont know then..you claim other host is okay..
[01:52] <seamus7> Is it practical to install (L)AMP on my Ubuntu laptop given my standard limited upload bandwidth or are there good uses even so??
[01:52] <alivedata> slonbg: the application that you are calling is installed on that box, dumb question but hey...
[01:52] <slonbg> bulmer: all other hosts I connect to are ok
[01:52] <astro76> !iso | Hexi this link contains info on converting different formats to iso
[01:52] <ubotu> Hexi this link contains info on converting different formats to iso: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[01:52] <Morthy|> seamus7: Only if you're going to be using it to develop stuff
[01:52] <techII> would hostapd and wpa-supplement conflict in some situations?
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> How do you uninstall a program you've compiled?  THe program works fine, but doesn't show up in synaptic, if i run the programname --version, it shows up, but if i run sudo apt-get remove name, it says it doesn't exist
[01:52] <Hexi> astro76, thanks!
[01:52] <pike__> foug: does 'ls /media/iso' show the files?  the mount command lists all mounted stuff so all yar other partitions will be there also but the new directory should be too
[01:53] <dem0n> how do i fix this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32105/
[01:53] <foug> pike__: ls shows nothing, /media/iso is empty
[01:53] <ladydoor> IndyGunFreak: going to the source directory and typing "sudo make uninstall" (without the quotes)
[01:53] <pike__> IndyGunFreak: google checkinstall
[01:53] <TheShrewdDude> hello, I was here a few days back to get advice on repartitioning my hard drive. I followed the instructions I got and I've finally managed to get my computer back into a working state.
[01:53] <slonbg> alivedata: I'm trying xterm. it complains that DISPLAY is not set. I check with printenv, and DISPLAY is not there. All other hosts I connect to, ahter ssh -X, printenv shows DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
[01:53] <Morthy|> Heya, Is there a way to make the bar that lists what programs I'm running larger? For example, so it lists two rows of apps rather than one?
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> ladydoor: ahhhhhh.. thank you.
[01:53] <pike__> foug: i guess it didnt mount did you get an error?
[01:53] <ladydoor> IndyGunFreak: Otherwise, you can enjoy the fun of manually removing everything it installed!
[01:53] <ladydoor> IndyGunFreak: np
[01:53] <nickrud> IndyGunFreak, checkinstall is worth looking at
[01:53] <meta4ical> back ;p
[01:53] <foug> pike__: nope
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: thanks.
[01:53] <jason___> i can live with vesa
[01:53] <jason___> i just need dvd play and the win 32 codecs
[01:53] <jason___> i use this box for net and mopvies
[01:53] <jason___> movies
[01:53] <jason___> yeah that sux
[01:53] <jason___> this is a new lenovo = no love box
[01:54] <jason___> i always had thinkpads
[01:54] <jason___> this is a nightmare
[01:54] <jason___> i installed it in fiesty (nvidia drivers) from scratch and they were hidious
[01:54] <slonbg> alivedata, so it's not a problem with the app itself. the session is not createed as it should be
[01:54] <TheShrewdDude> I want to delete the partition that runs my GRUB. last time I tried, it didn't go so well
[01:54] <meta4ical> is their anyway to tell 100% that I am using the fglrx drivers?
[01:54] <TheShrewdDude> how might I do this?
[01:54] <jason___> h
[01:54] <techII> i have no wireless atm
[01:54] <__MK__> how would you unmount pike_ ?
[01:54] <jason___> this is a new lenovo = no love box
[01:54] <pike__> foug: try to mount it to /media/cdrom  like 'sudo mount -o loop file.iso /media/cdrom' be sure youre in the same directory as the iso file when you type that
[01:54] <__MK__> unmount -o loop file.iso /mnt ?
[01:54] <seamus7> meta4ical: fglrxinfo ?
[01:55] <pike__> __MK__: umount /mnt/something will work. make sure youre not in the dir or it wont umount it. er .. use sudo
[01:55] <alivedata> slonbg: ahhh you need to set your display variable
[01:55] <MTecknology> Is it possible to set up mail-notification for thunderbird?
[01:55] <ladydoor> __MK__: umount, actually. No "n"
[01:55] <__MK__> ahh ok
[01:55] <__MK__> thanks
[01:55] <ladydoor> MTecknology: Do you mean letting you know when you have new mail?
[01:55] <meta4ical> seamus7: This is so hard to explain, but i've been here 2 days following guides/advice to get my ati card working and yesterday using the tool ENVY it finally worked = /
[01:55] <techII> doesn't seem like im going to get an answer out of #ubuntu+1
[01:55] <slonbg> alivedata: it should be set automagically when connected with -X. at least that's what happens on all other boxes
[01:55] <MTecknology> ladydoor, ya
[01:55] <foug> pike__: sweet that worked, now, to run it "wine setup.exe?"
[01:56] <alivedata> slonbg: not on the hosts that I connect to
[01:56] <ladydoor> MTecknology: You can use something like wmbiff or gkrellm or probably some GNOME or KDE-related mail notifier instead, I know...
[01:56] <pike__> foug: nice :) if its your first time running wine do 'winecfg' to set it up. no sudo
[01:56] <techII> if you use envy, just remember to take care of kernel updates
[01:56] <meta4ical> seamus7: I went to the screensavers and the ant ones (that used to run at like 5fps with vesa) were now running at like 60
[01:56] <meta4ical> and I reformatted, and NOW desptie using envy again
[01:56] <meta4ical> those same screensavers are running at like 5 again
[01:56] <MTecknology> ladydoor, I know thunderbird is supposed to alert me, but it rarely shows through my remote desktop - idk why
[01:56] <meta4ical> i don't get it =/
[01:56] <Morthy|> Is there a way to make the bar that lists what programs I'm running larger? For example, so it lists two rows of apps rather than one?
[01:56] <lerio> gudday everybody pls tell me how to type special characters in my keyboard the ALT+164 never works in my keyboard
[01:56] <ladydoor> Me neither, I'm afriad.
[01:56] <foug> pike__: nha i've used wine before
[01:57] <seamus7> meta4ical: you reformatted your hard drive or partition?
[01:57] <meta4ical> seamus7: The whole thing, I added windows xp alongside this
[01:57] <ladydoor> lerio: Are you trying to get accents and umlauts and such?
[01:57] <pike__> foug: ok. if you have an issue the winecfg is gui so it is easy to change settings
[01:57] <meta4ical> seamus7: I'm afraid that despite it saying it';s using fglrx, it's not actually.
[01:57] <seamus7> meta4ical: what kind of computer/hardware/laptop?
[01:57] <slonbg> alivedata, I have only 3 ubuntu boxes. the other ones are new (fiesty) and they set DISPLAY. this one is dapper though. The other boxes I connect to are suse boxes, and they set DISPLAY as well. so maybe this is something new with Fiesty
[01:57] <digi691> Is there any easy way of getting fish to work w/ irssi?
[01:57] <Amon-san> so, does anyone have experience with gnome logging you out right after login?
[01:57] <alivedata> slonbg: let me check my config
[01:58] <meta4ical> seamus7: umm desktop, amd 3800+ 64 athlon x2, 2gb of ddr2 ram, sapphire ati radeon x1550 pci-e
[01:58] <seamus7> Amon-san: what error message do you see before logging out?
[01:58] <dem0n> what dose redbox with an x on it?
[01:58] <Amon-san> no error message visible
[01:58] <pwnguin> Amon-san: try using the "failsafe GNOME" if you're not comfortable on the command line
[01:58] <dem0n> what dose redbox with an x on it mean?
[01:58] <Amon-san> i just login password gets accepted. my startup programs begin to work
[01:59] <BudgetDedicated> @wine users talking about it here, make sure to use our official repos for the latest version of wine, the version that is in ubuntu by default is old
[01:59] <Amon-san> and then the login screen comes back
[01:59] <pwnguin> Amon-san: you should at least get a warning about the window manager exiting quickly after login....
[01:59] <dem0n> what dose redbox with an x on it mean?
[01:59] <pike__> Amon-san: id alt-ctrl-f2   (remember alt-f7 takes you back to login screen) then login to command line and 'df -h' make sure / isnt 100% used ie your not out of space. if you have free space id sudo adduser and then alt-f7 and try to login with new user if that works its just a profile issue
[01:59] <meta4ical> seamus7: I'll brb!
[01:59] <foug> pike__: k wine always wants to install to the C drive and dues ex doesn't have a browse option. Do I just type /home/bla/bla for the directory i want?
[02:00] <seamus7> Amon-san: I've had an issue like that but I receive an error message regarding "ICE authority" so since you're not receiving any message I'm not sure if it's related ...
[02:00] <pike__> foug: everything will install to /home/username/.wine/drive_c  and that is were you want it so thats fine
[02:00] <BudgetDedicated> pike_ & foug: http://winehq.org/site/download-deb (or directly at http://wine.budgetdedicated.com)
[02:00] <astro76> dem0n, where??
[02:00] <slonbg> alivedata: I manually set DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 , and xterm failed again with xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
[02:01] <foug> pike__: hmm no I put all my games in a folder in /home/user
[02:01] <dem0n> astro76 on a file
[02:01] <TheShrewdDude> I'm booting from an ubuntu installation I'm not using
[02:01] <TheShrewdDude> Is there any way to get rid of that partition safely?
[02:01] <dem0n> like an eblem
[02:01] <foug> BudgetDedicated: ? i have wine allready
[02:01] <slonbg> alivedata: so clearly it does nto forward as it should
[02:01] <TheShrewdDude> I tried it once and it totally screwed up my boot
[02:01] <dem0n> ebleum
[02:01] <Amon-san> pike_: 5G free
[02:01] <TheShrewdDude> how can I tell grub to stop booting from that partition?
[02:01] <alivedata> slonbg: is that the same DISPLAY variable as the other nodes?
[02:01] <TheShrewdDude> it was installed *after* the install I'm using now
[02:01] <pike__> foug: the installers for all your games right?
[02:01] <alivedata> slonbg: man xhost
[02:01] <Amon-san> pwnguin: yeah, that one i got after the second and subsequent logins
[02:01] <pike__> foug: not the actual files after install?
[02:01] <foug> pike__: no my games, i install them all into the same folder
[02:01] <slonbg> alivedata, yes, thats what I see on the other machines
[02:02] <BudgetDedicated> foug: the repo i just pointed you to is one where you can get the lastest version of wine for ubuntu. the version is pretty important to get more stuff running
[02:02] <slonbg> alivedata: I tried xhost, does not help
[02:02] <Amon-san> failsafe gnome does not work either (already tried)
[02:02] <pike__> foug: ah. sorry im off work.
[02:02] <alivedata> the extremely insecure xhost + ?
[02:02] <foug> pike__: no prob, later man
[02:02] <pike__> foug: later. /join #winehq maybe
[02:03] <genii> That it can't find the image
[02:03] <nickrud> dem0n, usually it means it belongs to a user other than yourself; like root
[02:03] <dem0n> hmm
[02:03] <meta4ical> seamus7: Back
[02:03] <seamus7> Amon-san: in my case, I had to delet some configuration files in my home directory .. usually under gnome ... and I deleted ICE athority ... this fixed my problem in both cases ... i wish I could be more specific
[02:03] <dem0n> how do i logon to root because i need to edit permissions then
[02:03] <nickrud> dem0n, you can see more by right clicking the file and looking properties->permissions
[02:03] <genii> I guess it depends what application you see it in LOL
[02:04] <techII> dem0n, use sudo
[02:04] <Amon-san> i did not delete any config files
[02:04] <nickrud> dem0n, use sudo gain temporary root privs
[02:04] <dem0n> how do i give your self permissions useing the terminl
[02:04] <Amon-san> or do you mean delete the files to solve the problem?
[02:04] <alivedata> slonbg: DISPLAY variable needs to be your IP
[02:04] <nickrud> dem0n, sudo chmod
[02:04] <Dezine> Anybody know how I can get my Xbox 360 controller to work with Ubuntu?
[02:04] <nickrud> dem0n, or sudo chown
[02:04] <ladydoor> dem0n: chmod and chown
[02:04] <alivedata> that your are sending the xsession to
[02:05] <techII> dem0n, if you are talking about ssh keys, make sure, that only root and the user ssh is running as can access them, otherwise it is a security issue
[02:05] <dem0n> Don't i need a file name in there some where?
[02:05] <slonbg> alivedata, not if forwarded trough ssh. all other boxes do create localhost:10.0
[02:05] <techII> dem0n, yes, "chmod /path/to/file"
[02:05] <nickrud> dem0n, and more :)  sudo chown <user>:<user> <filename>
[02:05] <Naitsirk> Should I use gparted when I have 2x500GB SATA-disks I want to mount, partition and put into raid-1 ? (ubuntu desktop edition on separate hdd)
[02:05] <_DunK_> hey all
[02:05] <ladydoor> dem0n: the manuals for each of those commands contain examples at the top, as does chmod --help or chown --help
[02:05] <techII> dem0n, yes, "chmod 123 /path/to/file"
[02:05] <dem0n> well the user that i am running ssh the keys are locked
[02:05] <alivedata> slonbg: i guess i do it a little differently
[02:06] <cheetah5> hi, i have a quick question
[02:06] <techII> dem0n, there is also "sudo nautilus"
[02:06] <dem0n> i do sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[02:06] <techII> for a file manager
[02:06] <dem0n> but it gives me errors
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> techII: Use gksudo nautilus  safer option
[02:06] <_DunK_> I've got a teeny problem, was wondering of someone could shed some light: I can't get a .Xsession file in my homedir to work at all.  I am using ion
[02:06] <slonbg> alivedata: pls provide step by step
[02:06] <cheetah5> does anyone know if theres an app or command to switch x apps from different screens
[02:06] <techII> yeh
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo nautilus is an accident waiting to happen
[02:07] <cheetah5> ie if i have a separate vnc session (not remote desktop) on screen :1, can i grab a program thats running on :0
[02:07] <slonbg> alivedata: just tried myhost:0, i.e. the X i'm connecting from, still not working
[02:07] <nickrud> so is gksudo nautilus
[02:07] <nickrud> might as well log in as root
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: Clearly a better option... than just sudo
[02:08] <techII> but still a lot easier for some, just have to make sure that they don't screw up
[02:08] <alivedata> slonbg: one sec
[02:08] <_DunK_> I really am at my wit's end with it - shouldn't .Xsession just work by default?
[02:08] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow, yeah, I did a few sudo <opt> ; grep env till I got my head around it
[02:08] <meta4ical> seamus7: you have any idea why this could be happening?
[02:08] <_DunK_> seems pretty basic!
[02:08] <Dezine> Anybody know how I can get my Xbox 360 controller to work with Ubuntu?
[02:08] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow, well, I think you get the drift of that mangled fragment :)
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: :)
[02:09] <seamus7> meta4ical: I just googled and found this http://www.debianhelp.org/node/6499#comment-21835 ... I hope it's not the last word on your issue ... seems your card may be uniquely problematic .. at least according to this message board posting :(
[02:09] <meta4ical> seamus7: But it worked right before I reformatted :(
[02:10] <fraser> hi, i forget what the command to reconfigure X is, and my screen resolution is very small. i want to increase it.
[02:10] <meta4ical> seamus7: I have some weird feeling all the commands and whatnot I typed trying to get it working BEFORE I tried envy were involved
[02:10] <meta4ical> seamus7: Because this time I just up and installed ENVY
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:11] <fraser> Jack_Sparrow, thankyou. also, afterwards i have to reboot X or something don't i? for the changes to take effect? how do i do that?
[02:11] <zyth> Does anyone know how I can make my wifi card stop autoconnecting to my neighbour's open network on boot?
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> ctrl-alt-backspace restarts x
[02:11] <fraser> zyth, lol just steal his internet. why do you want ti not to?
[02:11] <fraser> Jack_Sparrow, doesn't that restart computer?
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> just x
[02:11] <therethinker> zyth: Manually configurure it
[02:12] <zyth> therethinker, yeah, where?
[02:12] <meta4ical> anyone link to me to that binaryhowto for ati cards?
[02:12] <rockets> is there a linux tool i can use to clone an entire hard drive MBR and all?
[02:12] <Jack_Sparrow> rockets:  dd
[02:12] <r0b-> can someone help me set up networking on ubuntu server
[02:12] <dem0n> can some one help me with ssh
[02:12] <fraser> Jack_Sparrow, what was that command again? i accidently closed window
[02:12] <seamus7> meta4ical: I'm on a Radeon x1300 and when I first joined Ubuntu with Dapper Drake I had problems finding the best way to get it up and running with fglrx ... now it's pretty painless .. so my advice is to start again with the driver until it works
[02:13] <Jerem> */s -m irc.chat-clubstation.com
[02:13] <therethinker> zyth: System>Admin>Networking
[02:13] <elementz> guys - i need to get vmware player completely off my system - already uninstalled it via apt-get remove - but i still have some remainers - how can i get rid of em?
[02:13] <r0b-> dem0n is openssh installed?
[02:13] <dem0n> yes
[02:13] <zyth> therethinker, nothing in there, its set to 'roaming'
[02:13] <fraser> elementz, only things should be in the home folder now
[02:13] <Jerem> */s -m irc.chat-clubstation.com
[02:13] <Giovani_> Anyone know if there is a similar tool to 'service' in Ubuntu instead of typing '/etc/init.d/' ?
[02:13] <rockets> Jack_Sparrow, yes but how . . . the man page doesnt seem helpful
[02:13] <therethinker> zyth:Uncheck roaming, and then fill it in
[02:13] <Jack_Sparrow> rockets: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Dd
[02:13] <zyth> therethinker, ahh.
[02:13] <techII> fraser, where the configuration files purged?
[02:13] <rockets> ok thx
[02:13] <orbisvicis> !mixer
[02:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mixer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:14] <therethinker> Giovani_:You could always set a var
[02:14] <elementz> fraser, there's more left than that, eg: /etc/rc*foo
[02:14] <Jack_Sparrow> fraser:sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:14] <r0b-> can someone help me with my networking
[02:14] <fraser> elementz, okay, ignore me haha
[02:14] <orbisvicis> how can i control my sound, if dev/mixer does nothing?
[02:14] <elementz> is there a way to exclude dirs from being parsed while searching with 'locate' ?
[02:14] <r0b-> i need to change the IP from <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:14] <therethinker> Giovani_:or a shell script
[02:14] <therethinker> /etc/init.d/$1 $2
[02:14] <elementz> fraser, ;-)
[02:14] <therethinker> Giovani_: sudo /etc/init.d/$1 $2

[02:14] <gimpii> rob-: you cant
[02:14] <timetrap> r0b
[02:15] <r0b-> shoot!
[02:15] <timetrap> can you see the lo interface?
[02:15] <techII> elementz: with aptitude it would be "aptitude purge PACKAGE", no idea how to do the same with apt-get, but thats what you would want
[02:15] <krzee> is there a way to just upgrade from dapper to feisty?  i just spent a day downloading feisty and the DL messed up right at the end, would rather not go through the whole dl again
[02:15] <timetrap> or the eth1
[02:15] <r0b-> yea tim__b
[02:15] <timetrap> interface
[02:15] <elementz> techII, thx will try that
[02:15] <r0b-> err timetrap
[02:15] <timetrap> lo is not a "real" adaptor
[02:15] <timetrap> lo = loopback
[02:15] <tim__b> r0b- be carefully with highlightning me ;)
[02:15] <rockets> timetrap, define real
[02:15] <rockets> timetrap, just kidding.
[02:15] <meta4ical> seamus7: bla lol
[02:15] <r0b-> so i set that to eth0
[02:15] <r0b-> ?
[02:15] <tim__b> -s
[02:15] <timetrap> not physical
[02:15] <tim__b> -y i mean
[02:16] <timetrap> virtual
[02:16] <r0b-> well it is a VM
[02:16] <r0b-> :P
[02:16] <timetrap> rockets oops
[02:16] <techII> elementz, it would be "dpkg -P [packagename] ", i think
[02:17] <elementz> techII, ok I have several packages with vmware on my system - how can i purge the whole bunch? aptitude purge vmware* just lists the packages but does not purge them
[02:17] <timetrap> uh . . . are you using vmplayer?
[02:17] <r0b-> im using VMware workstation
[02:18] <davey_> how do I make ktorrent run a proxy
[02:18] <_DunK_> has anyone got a .Xsession file working on their ubuntu before?
[02:18] <elementz> techII, any idea ?
[02:19] <r0b-> timetrap
[02:19] <seamus7> meta4ical: I'm assuming you've tried this how to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[02:19] <HomeRoey> hi
[02:19] <techII> elementz, got nothing, except puting each package on the command line
[02:19] <HomeRoey> how come there's no alsaconfig in ubuntu??
[02:19] <slowz3r> Can anyone assist me  with wireshark or ettercap GTK nothing technical just a quick question
[02:19] <timetrap> what is your NIC set as in the workstation? Briged? Nated? or Host?
[02:19] <r0b-> Vridged
[02:19] <elementz> techII, hm ok htx
[02:19] <elementz> uh thx
[02:19] <_DunK_> HomeRoey: apt-get ?
[02:20] <timetrap> on sec
[02:20] <javaJake> Bye everyone
[02:20] <gimpii> !ask | slowz3r
[02:20] <ubotu> slowz3r: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:20] <_DunK_> so... anyone else ever had a problem getting .Xsession working?
[02:20] <techII> ok, is it normal to have ndiswrapper (installed from repository, kernel modules updated) to stop working after a kernel upgrade?
[02:21] <davey_> dunk, ya I had a problem with the file being locked
[02:21] <retr> does ubuntu have a firewall installed by default?
[02:21] <davey_> retr, no
[02:21] <davey_> atleast not active
[02:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !firewall
[02:21] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[02:21] <RyukZilla> seamus7: Hi! i wanna know the command to chmod a folder? since my screen has a very low res and windows wont be fully shown
[02:21] <_DunK_> davey_ I don't think that that is it.  I can edit it just fine
[02:21] <retr> davey_, i installed openssh server and i can only reach it from the local network 10.0.0.x for some reason
[02:22] <slowz3r> Why wont my network interfaces show up in wireshark  or in ettercap GTK
[02:22] <davey_> well that is locked for security purpouses you have to change the config in the openshh server to get that to work. I've never done it because I've only shhed into my box from my local network
[02:22] <ari_stress> help! i'm burned out
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> davey_: iptables are active part of all installations
[02:22] <Frogzoo> slowz3r: you running wireshark as root?
[02:23] <techII> slowz3r, run it as root
[02:23] <davey_> I ment that it doesn't run like windows
[02:23] <timetrap> r0b did you install it? or was it pre built?
[02:23] <techII> Frogzoo, probably not
[02:23] <seamus7> retr: yes ... iptables ... all ports are closed by default on ubuntu
[02:23] <davey_> where it just ranomly blockes things
[02:23] <timetrap> and what's your host OS
[02:23] <r0b-> its a prebuilt VM
[02:23] <slowz3r> Frogzoo: how would i run it as root
[02:23] <retr> seamus7: do you know how i can disable it?
[02:23] <Frogzoo> slowz3r: there's a "wireshark (root)" option in the menu
[02:23] <techII> slowz3r, is there a "Wireshark (as root)" in the menu
[02:23] <Frogzoo> slowz3r: desktop menu
[02:24] <slowz3r> Frogzoo: ya there is
[02:24] <timetrap> r0b you running this on windows?
[02:24] <techII> otherwise "gksu wireshark"
[02:24] <r0b-> yea why?
[02:24] <timetrap> just checking
[02:24] <slowz3r> Frogzoo: thats how i installed it but i dont know how to run it as root
[02:24] <Frogzoo> slowz3r: you put in your password when it asks
[02:24] <slowz3r> Frogzoo: oo oops i didnt think of doing sudo wireshark..lol
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> retr: INstall guarddog or firestarter and use them to open ports as needed...
[02:25] <r0b-> i cant do anything unless i can SSH
[02:25] <Frogzoo> slowz3r: not necessary - use the desktop menu "wireshark (as root)" works fine
[02:25] <techII> (not the plain "wireshark" one)
[02:25] <timetrap> r0b can't do anything to what?
[02:25] <Frogzoo> slowz3r: otherwise, gksudo wireshark
[02:25] <r0b-> this VM
[02:25] <slowz3r> Frogzoo: oo i was dumb and looking under  system  tools.
[02:25] <r0b-> i was planning on using SSH
[02:25] <meta4ical> besides fglrxinfo, is their a 100% method to see if my drivers are enabled?
[02:26] <slowz3r> Frogzoo: ok one last one how about ettercap gtk
[02:26] <cheetah5> is there a program or command to get a list of open x windows and "grab" one over to the current screen
[02:26] <Jack_Sparrow> retr: If you are a cli guy  iptables -h  for those commands
[02:26] <retr> Jack_Sparrow: okay. when i do iptable -L, there doesnt seem to be any rules
[02:26] <seamus7> RyukZilla: have you tried "man chmod" in a terminal for available options
[02:26] <zimmo>  i have to configure the zones and the hosts to set up the Shorewall, ok? i have configured its files but it says i have not valid zones! do I need bind9 to create them first?
[02:27] <r0b-> timetrap PM me
[02:27] <retr> RyukZilla: what permissions do you need?
[02:27] <Jack_Sparrow> retr: I only use firestarter.. if you want to check ports you can go to grc.com and run shields up to scan ports
[02:27] <Frogzoo> slowz3r: sudo if it's a terminal app, gksudo if gui
[02:28] <slowz3r> Frogzoo: well its both there is a terminal version and a gui version but the only way i have ever been able to get the gui version to work is by the menu
[02:28] <seamus7> RyukZilla: something like sudo chmod -R <###> <starting_directory> ....
[02:28] <techII> has anyone ever experienced ndiswrapper (from the official repositories) breaking after a kernel upgrade?
[02:29] <eboyjr> Does anyone know what this means? "Root visual is not a double buffered GL visual"
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> retr: SHorewall is another good iptable manager..

[02:32] <r0b-> i kinda messed one of the ethernet devices for it
[02:32] <timetrap> ah
[02:32] <timetrap> that would do it
[02:32] <timetrap> just go in a create a new device
[02:32] <timetrap> ehternet
[02:32] <orbisvicis> what is the gnome app command that control volume ?
[02:32] <seamus7> retr: have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[02:32] <timetrap> and then reboot the vm
[02:33] <timetrap> gotta go
[02:33] <timetrap> good luck
[02:33] <timetrap> oh and openjoel
[02:33] <r0b-> ok

[02:33] <timetrap> ;-)
[02:33] <function1> anyone know what version of audacity is installed by automatix?
[02:34] <Frogzoo> orbisvicis: gnome-volume-control iirc
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> function1: why would you use automatix to install audacity?
[02:34] <orbisvicis> ty ... good recall ;)
[02:34] <Frogzoo> orbisvicis: easiest add a volume control to the task bar
[02:34] <TheCreationist> IndyGunFreak: Why would you use it to install anything?  Especially in Feisty?
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> TheCreationist: well, thats beside the point, lol, but hs question pertained to audacity
[02:34] <orbisvicis> Frogzoo, how do i find what device its using to change the vol.  -> its not /dev/mixer
[02:35] <TheCreationist> IndyGunFreak: Ah, gotcha.
[02:35] <ice_cream> lo; i remember that i used to be able to set a samba share password, but smbpasswd is failing at the moment, giving some error connecting to localhost ip;  smbfs package not enough?  What is min I need to get this service running?
[02:35] <function1> IndyGunFreak: good question. i just was hoping automatix installed the 1.3.x series. i'm sick of staring at ugly gtk1. and i like to have "official" debs.. but i suppose i'll have to be ghetto and install from source
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> function1: what do you mean "ugly gtk1"?
[02:36] <seamus7> orbisvicis: have you looked in System/Preferences/Volume Control ??
[02:36] <meta4ical> seamus7: I don't understand how this could be happening ... is their any other way for me to test if the fglrx are actually performing?
[02:36] <TheCreationist> Does anyone know if there is anything thing for Linux similar to Finale or Noteworthy Composer?
[02:36] <Frogzoo> orbisvicis: google?
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> function1: nevermind, i'm confusing audacity and audacioius, sorry
[02:36] <TheCreationist> ...music notation software.
[02:36] <seamus7> meta4ical: have you tried glxgears in a terminal
[02:36] <meta4ical> seamus7: I just did
[02:36] <Frogzoo> meta4ical: fgl_glxgears
[02:37] <meta4ical> um
[02:37] <meta4ical> they're spinning at 12kfps
[02:37] <orbisvicis> Frogzoo, im sure its different per hardware.
[02:37] <TheCreationist> meta4ical: Then it's working ;)
[02:37] <meta4ical> averaging 42,000fps in 5 seconds
[02:37] <eboyjr> Why would Google Earth work fine, but Desktop Effects won't work at all?
[02:37] <meta4ical> ok so that means they really are installed and working?
[02:37] <TheCreationist> eboyjr: Do you have your restricted video drivers installed?
[02:37] <AcidMaX> anyone know why a cinema display would be black when going through the ubuntu setup?
[02:38] <orbisvicis> eboyjr, compositing
[02:38] <AcidMaX> is there a switch to fix this?
[02:38] <AcidMaX> on max
[02:38] <AcidMaX> mac
[02:38] <orbisvicis> * a possibility
[02:38] <meta4ical> seamus7: fgl_glxgears is a little slower, but averaging about this 5610 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1122.000 FPS
[02:38] <meta4ical> seamus7: Is that normal? or is my 3d disabled or something =/
[02:38] <Frogzoo> meta4ical: that's what I get on an 9700
[02:39] <orbisvicis> meta4ical, i get slightly faster, not much
[02:39] <eboyjr> TheCreationist: I have no idea.
[02:39] <orbisvicis> eboyjr, run glxinfo| grep direct
[02:39] <seamus7> meta4ical: hmmm I'm on a Radeon x1300 and get about 1322 frames in 5 seconds = 264.000 FPS
[02:39] <eboyjr> TheCreationist: I think I have to enable compositing.
[02:39] <Frogzoo> AcidMaX: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[02:39] <TheCreationist> eboyjr:  Go to System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager
[02:39] <meta4ical> Frogzoo: 5506 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1101.200 FPS
[02:39] <meta4ical>    new average
[02:40] <eboyjr> orbisvicis: no direct rendering
[02:40] <TheCreationist> meta4ical, seamus7:  Keep in mind that glxgears is NOT a valid benchmark for graphics performance.
[02:40] <AcidMaX> Frogzoo: this is on the boot screen
[02:40] <meta4ical> seamus7: So is this conclusive enough to say that the fglrx ARE indeed installed and working? and that whatever issues I'm hsving with the screensavers isn't related
[02:40] <orbisvicis> meta4ical, average goes up drastically if you dont have a compositor
[02:40] <AcidMaX> like on the initial blue screen where you select keyboards etc
[02:40] <AcidMaX> only ioption I have is install I think before that
[02:40] <orbisvicis> eboyjr, then its possible (but not certain) that you have no hardware acceleration
[02:40] <eboyjr> TheCreationist: It says that my hardware doesn't need any.
[02:41] <TheCreationist> eboyjr: What card do you have?
[02:41] <seamus7> meta4ical: the cube for me is spinning quickly ... and my graphics work well given that Radeon Mobile X1300 is an average or modest card
[02:41] <eboyjr> orbisvicis: TheCreationist: I have an ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF
[02:41] <meta4ical> orbisvicis: Long story short, I tried to get my card working with fglrx yesterday by following guides and typing in commands from people in here etc, and I finally got it working. I looked at the ant screensavers as a test because with vesa I got like 5fps, and I was now getting really smooth 60fpsish
[02:41] <Frogzoo> AcidMaX: booting the install with a "vga=###" option may work, try 792, but not sure what your screen wants
[02:41] <meta4ical> orbisvicis: The problem that arises is, I reformatted since yesterday and i ONLY did what made my video card work (installed envy), and now screensavers don't run
[02:42] <TheCreationist> eboyjr: Oh, old school.  Yeah, it wouldn't offer much acceleration.  You're trying to use Desktop Effects?  I highly doubt you'll be able to with that card.
[02:42] <AcidMaX> Frogzoo: will give that a whirl thanks.
[02:42] <lumgwada> Hey Just wondering. are dist-upgrades via apt getting smoother? I have a laptop that started on hoary...going to dapper lost wireless.. now I'm looking to upgrade again... is it worse the older the original install cd was?
[02:42] <meta4ical> orbisvicis: well they do, but at the speeds of the vesa driver, and not the way they did yesterday at all :(
[02:42] <AcidMaX> Frogzoo: its one of the midsize apple cinema displays
[02:42] <Frogzoo> AcidMaX: google might help
[02:42] <Jack_Sparrow> meta4ical: Dont underestimate the problems that envy can cause.. even if it seems to have worked.
[02:43] <AcidMaX> Frogzoo: searching now with vga= for options
[02:43] <anandanbu> Update manager says that Software Index is broken what should i do
[02:43] <eboyjr> TheCreationist: Hmm... I kinda figured that, even with the words Pro and Ultra in there. lol
[02:43] <TheCreationist> eboyjr: Well, back in the day they WERE pro and ultra ;)
[02:43] <eboyjr> TheCreationist: hah right
[02:43] <meta4ical> Jack_Sparrow: What I am saying is it worked yesterday, and now today after reformatting their's a weird side effect
[02:44] <meta4ical> Jack_Sparrow: The only difference from todays install and yesterday is, I had done a bunch of crap BEFORE I tried envy
[02:44] <bodmerocity> is there anything I can run that will allow  me to play PC games?
[02:44] <meta4ical> Jack_Sparrow: which lead me to believe some command I typed in prior or something I did helped =/
[02:44] <Frogzoo> !appdb | bodmerocity
[02:44] <ubotu> bodmerocity: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[02:44] <EADG_> AcidMaX: 786=640    789=800    792=1024     795=1200
[02:44] <meta4ical> Jack_Sparrow: Now those screensavers despite the exact same driver run like vesa for absolutely no reason
[02:44] <AcidMaX> EADG_: thanks will give those a whirl
[02:45] <function1> so what does it mean: my system timer resolution is set too low?
[02:46] <Jack_Sparrow> meta4ical: Hope you get it figured out.. good luck..
[02:46] <aguitel> anyone have Lexmark x1185 all in one?
[02:46] <orbisvicis> meta4ical, g2g ... sry cant help. maybe #ubuntu-effectss?
[02:46] <orbisvicis>  /later
[02:47] <seamus7> meta4ical: sorry I can't help you more specifically ... I'm no linux expert and only know what I've learned through hands on experience with my laptop ... sounds like you have your driver working well ... (maybe try reconfiguring your xorg file after backing it up of course)
[02:47] <meta4ical> I don't care if the screensavers work as long as I have 3d accel etc ... this is more a burning question of why
[02:47] <alivedata> slonbg: get it figured out
[02:47] <aguitel> anyone have Lexmark x1185 all in one?
[02:47] <meta4ical> seamus7: I've had ubuntu about 2 days total I don't really want to mess with it lol
[02:47] <mrwho> Anyone have an Audigy 4 soundcard?
[02:47] <dabaR> !anyone > aguitel
[02:48] <dabaR> !repeat > aguitel
[02:48] <aguitel> !anyone have Lexmark x1185 all in one?
[02:48] <ShackJack> meta4ical: You get that driver workin' yet? ;)
[02:48] <phoenix24> hi!!
[02:48] <pchilds> I am wondering if there is a way to enable compiz fusion to run at startup. Is it as easy as adding compiz --replace in the sessions manager?
[02:48] <Wiseguy> hey guys, does anyone know how to use amarok to sync an ipod?
[02:48] <meta4ical> ShackJack: I tried ENVY as a last resort, and it actually worked yesterday -- but I have a new problem I simply cannot explain
[02:48] <meta4ical> ShackJack: I'd love some guidance :)
[02:48] <mrwho> aguitel: I had a x1200 Lexmark is crap hp the way to go
[02:49] <ShackJack> meta4ical: You're welcome to ask - no promises ;)
[02:49] <phoenix24> I'm running a 64bit Processr, but How could I find out If I'm running a 64bit kernel aswell ?
[02:49] <aguitel> i have proble with the scanner
[02:49] <meta4ical> ShackJack: You remember all the commands and stuff I entered right, and the guides I followed? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:49] <dabaR> phoenix24: try uname -a
[02:49] <ShackJack> pchilds: Yep ... you running with Nvidia?
[02:49] <mrwho> Can anyone tell me how to find my chipset on my soundcard?
[02:50] <seamus7> meta4ical: oh ... well if you back up your xorg configuration file you can always restore it easily in the Recovery Console upon boot if the new one doesn't fix your problem ... just follow this: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/ChangeResolution#How_to_reconfigure_Xorg
[02:50] <ShackJack> meta4ical: yep...
[02:50] <meta4ical> seamus7: I know how , we did that a bazillion times yesterday :p
[02:50] <pchilds> nope with intel extreme but it works well for what I want compiz fusion to do. No problems
[02:50] <phoenix24> dabaR, Does'nt tell whether the kernel is 32bit or 64bit
[02:50] <dabaR> phoenix24: what's it say?
[02:50] <mrwho> soundcard | chipset
[02:51] <phoenix24> dabaR, Linux Macho 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[02:51] <seamus7> meta4ical: oh ok
[02:51] <meta4ical> shackjack: Ok well, this is weird but I the ant screensavers under vesa ran at like ... 5-10fps, so as soon as I found out ENVY got my card working I went there to test the performance increase, and sure enough, them ants was rollin' smooth as butter
[02:51] <EADG_> mrwho lspci
[02:51] <mrwho> Thanks, I tried dmidecode and got nothing...
[02:52] <meta4ical> ShackJack: Ok so basically today, I reformatted my computer for windows xp and unbuntu and instead of doing all those things we did yesterday, I only installed Envy since that's wat worked
[02:52] <dabaR> phoenix24: so it looks like the kernel is the same...
[02:52] <pchilds> I am thinking about the macmenu applet option too. I have googled but have yet to find a complete entry. Always something missing. Anybody know of a good site on macmenu applet installation?
[02:52] <xxtigurxx> hey everyone
[02:52] <dabaR> phoenix24: for 32 and 64 bit.
[02:52] <meta4ical> ShackJack: and now despite it saying the same thing -- that my drivers are in use etc and whatnot, those ants are going at like5fps
[02:52] <phoenix24> dabaR, umm 32bit or 64bit ?
[02:52] <xxtigurxx> im on linux for the first time ever ^_^
[02:53] <ShackJack> meta4ical: You're running under XGL -- is composite off and xserver-xgl installed?
[02:53] <xxtigurxx> after 2 days of messing with ndiswrapper..
[02:53] <mrwho> EADG_: Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value, that look right?
[02:53] <meta4ical> ShackJack:  I really don't know ...nor do I know how to check
[02:53] <meta4ical> ShackJack: I do know that fglrxinfo now returns my card/opengl and not mesa though ;p
[02:54] <tom33> i use the ubuntu feisty torrent downloading system, but why occurs an error when i try to start a new torrent download when I'm already downloading one of the same tracker
[02:54] <mrwho> sB0400 is my chipset?
[02:54] <EADG_> mrwho: Yes sir... Sound Blaster card.
[02:54] <meta4ical> ShackJack: would you like a copy of envys xorg.conf?
[02:54] <dabaR> phoenix24: same kernel.
[02:54] <EADG_> mrwho: yes
[02:55] <ShackJack> meta4ical: Yeah, sure pastbin it... ;)   & aptitude search xserver-xgl    and is there's an "i" to the right means it's installed...
[02:55] <dsig> #gedit
[02:55] <eboyjr> Since I do not have any hardware acceleration, what's the best thing that I could do to make Ubuntu a little _more_ worth while before I build a new computer?
[02:55] <phoenix24> dabaR, I think I get your point! Thanks!!
[02:55] <ShackJack> meta4ical: But you can also cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i Composite as a shortcut...
[02:55] <dabaR> phoenix24: it looks like it.
[02:55] <zitner> Can someone PM me on how to install icon sets, and GDMs, please.  I'm new to linux.
[02:55] <dabaR> phoenix24: http://www.google.ca/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=ubuntu+64+bit+kernel
[02:55] <ShackJack> eboyjr: Whatchu mean - 3d graphic accel?
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> zitner: Easy enough
[02:56] <franky123> hey, i'm wondering how to configure a wireless network from the command line rather than using gnome network admin. anyone have a good site? I can't find any tutorials on google
[02:56] <meta4ical> ShackJack: I don't see an i, I see a p
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !themes

[02:56] <meta4ical> ShackJack: Here ya go -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32106/
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> zitner: Just drop on the appropiate theme manager.. gdm themes go on the admin-login
[02:57] <zitner> JACK SPARROW, pm me please, I can't keep up with these IRC chats.
[02:57] <ShackJack> meta4ical: Hmmm... if you're running XGL I'm pretty sure you have to have that running ;)
[02:57] <meta4ical> ShackJack: this is what it says for that command,    p   xserver-xgl                     - GL-based X server
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> zitner: I tried.. do you see it
[02:57] <r0b-> if i set VMNet1 to DHCP on the host would it also do DHCP on the guest os?
[02:58] <dabaR> phoenix24: it looks like the difference is in the apps. http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.list. search for 'linux-image'
[02:58] <zitner> Yes, apparently I'm not registered, so you're not getting my message.
[02:58] <meta4ical> shackjack: and             Option "Composite" "Disable"
[02:58] <MISTERTibbs> I'm in feisty.  I would like to use an html browser screen as my desktop screen.  How???
[02:58] <eboyjr> ShackJack: I don't think my computer will support 3d windows unless it is software based. I have an ATI Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF.
[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> zitner: HAve you dl'd any themes from gnome-look.org yet
[02:58] <erstazi> where are the configuration files for wlan or eth0?
[02:59] <zitner> Many times, I can install those with no problems, but, oh wait nevermind thanks, lol.
[02:59] <MISTERTibbs> erstazi, iwconfig
[02:59] <ShackJack> meta4ical: But you're starting an XGL session or no (for COmpiz, etc...)
[02:59] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[02:59] <dabaR> franky123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo
[02:59] <r0b-> ok
[02:59] <r0b-> !networking
[02:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about networking - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:59] <erstazi> MISTERTibbs, where is that stored in the file system?
[02:59] <r0b-> !network
[02:59] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:59] <erstazi> r0b-, thank you
[02:59] <meta4ical> shackjack: I just freshly installed ubuntu again, and installed envy and the fglrx driver again -- nothing else ;p
[02:59] <MISTERTibbs> erstazi, oh.  sorry, idk
[02:59] <zitner> Oh, does anyone know how to make intel video drivers and install them, I'm trying to get 3d, and gl to work.  Along with my widescreen resolution.
[02:59] <Jack_Sparrow> zitner: GDM themes go in system..admin...login not the regular theme manager
[02:59] <erstazi> MISTERTibbs, thank you
[02:59] <ShackJack> meta4ical: Ah.. O.K... and slow ants ... hmmm....
[03:00] <meta4ical> shackjack: yes it's weird = / I'm starting to think a command or something we did yesterday also helped maybe?
[03:00] <meta4ical> shackjack: because the only difference now from yesterday is that this time I installed with envy right away, instead of trying all the other methods and getting black screens
[03:01] <meta4ical> ShackJack: so maybe something we typed in or whatever helped? i don't know I'm a newbie
[03:01] <ShackJack> eboyjr: Pretty sure the ATI Rage Pro will run under the fglrx driver...
[03:01] <crdlb> ShackJack, fglrx supports the radeon 9500 and newer
[03:01] <crdlb> the rage predates the original radeon 7000
[03:02] <sutabi> Anyone know any good apps the simplfy grep style searching?
[03:02] <eboyjr> ShackJack: Actually, I followed a tutorial once on that and restarted when I could start Ubuntu cause of something. I had to start Windows and try to remember what changes I made.
[03:02] <dabaR> sutabi: what is easier than grep?
[03:02] <sutabi> I have the Desktop Search Beagel but its not dont indexing
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> meta4ical: you are on your second day with ubuntu.. you insist on using something we tell people NOT to use and we DONT support and you are here with UNUSUAL problems.. I am glad it worked once... but we do know what we are talking about when we advise prople to NOT use envy or automatix..
[03:03] <ShackJack> crdlb: Ah you're right - was thinking of anohter model... yer right won't run on fglrx or on radeon :( sorry eboyjr..
[03:03] <keen> how do i make a program start when i boot up?
[03:04] <dabaR> sutabi: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beagle?
[03:04] <ShackJack> !envy | ShackJack
[03:04] <dabaR> keen: boot up, or log in?
[03:04] <keen> both?  i want kiba-dock to start when i log on
[03:04] <meta4ical> Jack_Sparrow:  This was after all the well documented logical rational approaches work, you can ask Shackjack how long he took a crack at it along with others -- it was used as a last resort and a successful one. Plus their was no risk, I had been on ubuntu literally hours, data loss didn't mean anything. I could reformat 200 times
[03:04] <meta4ical> didn't work*
[03:05] <dabaR> keen: ok, so when you log in, yuo want some applet to start?
[03:05] <keen> dabar, ya
[03:05] <dabaR> keen: you can add it to the session under system>prefs afaik
[03:05] <keen> dabar, thanks i'll try that
[03:05] <Chadwick|359> Okay, so I don't see this anywhere after just a quick search, so has anybody else seen Tasksel just hang and then display an error that aptitude failed?
[03:05] <meta4ical> Shackjack: Perhaps this only relates to the screensavers, is their a small 3d game or something I could download and try?
[03:05] <sutabi> dabaR: I was hoping for a ui to grep >.<
[03:05] <ztomic> meta4ical: did you get that vid card working?
[03:06] <dabaR> keen: yiouu can get another login under apps>system, or you used to be abe to anyhow]
[03:06] <ShackJack> meta4ical: you can run glxgears from terminal
[03:06] <meta4ical> ztomic: Yesterday yes, today no :P
[03:06] <ztomic> Doh!
[03:06] <meta4ical> ztomic: the tool Envy actually got it working yesterday, and after a reformat and using Envy again it apparently isn't
