[02:04] <Dimitree> bazhang any idea where i can find out the differances betwean Mac OSX and Linux ? o-o trying to figure out if OSX will work better on my pc
[02:04] <diieggo> i need help for install ragnarok using wine or cedega
[02:05] <Mattevt> sorry I worded that poorly
[02:05] <jackal> how do i uhow do i use the framebuffer?
[02:05] <seancron> eboyjr: if you mistype a command you can seriously injure your system
[02:05] <drivetrax> Mattevt,  -- think, Sessions
[02:05] <ManBlue> bazhang
[02:05] <eboyjr> seancron, Okay.
[02:05] <ManBlue> bazhang gottcha
[02:05] <jackal> how do i use framebuffer?
[02:05] <bazhang> Dimitree: no idea about that--sounds difficult to do if you dont buy a mac though
[02:05] <Mattevt> I'm sorry? I'm new to linux, as of yesterday
[02:05] <ubuntu> can someone tell me how to register my name?
[02:05] <adamsad1> ibleed: thanks
[02:06] <DBautell> ubuntu `/msg nickserv help`
[02:06] <drivetrax> ubuntu,  -- too late now, it is taken
[02:06] <bazhang> ManBlue: the resize device will take care of that--just be sure to back up important data (as always) when doing something like this
[02:06] <ibleed> seancron it sure is nice of you to see to it he understands that
[02:06] <jackal> Dr... how do i use the framebuffer?
[02:06] <xpoint> ubuntu, see freenode.net homepage
[02:06] <bazhang> ubuntu read the link given to you
[02:06] <eboyjr> Whats new in Hardy?
[02:07] <[T]an3> my network dropped just after i asked my question... so i did not see if there were any replies... sorry to have to re-ask.
[02:07] <drivetrax> bazhang,  thanks for setting me up with Ubuntu.. it's great.  A great big tweak
[02:07] <ManBlue> bazhang alright
[02:07] <x1250> eboyjr: no one is going to answer that...
[02:07] <[T]an3> when i am running in a single desktop mode my compiz stuff works perfect.
[02:07] <Dr_willis> jackal,  the menu.lst has kernel options to enable various modes for the framebuffer, ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5         The vga= sets the default res. I think the framebuffer may be disabled by default under hardy. Once you have the framebuffer enabled you can use the fbset and other commands to tweak it on the fly
[02:07] <eboyjr> x1250, lol
[02:07] <[T]an3> however when running in dual screen mode it does not.
[02:07] <bazhang> www.fsckin.com has the details (in Easy English) eboyjr
[02:07] <tinin> x1250 you did
[02:07] <[T]an3> any ideas?
[02:07] <[T]an3> i am using aticonfig for my desktop setup
[02:07] <Mattevt> OK, I'll slightly reword it. I need ubuntu to recognize when I'm unplugged from the external monitor. I'm new to Linux as of yesterday so as detailed instructions would be helpful.
[02:07] <x1250> I did repond, but I did not answer his question tinin :P

[02:07] <shadowblade> Hello, I'm trying to get my broadcom wireless working on my dell e1505 laptop. I installed the b43 drivers from linuxwireless.com and now its like my wireless card doesn't exist. So I uninstalled those drivers and still nothing. The status light on my laptop is not lit and the fn shortcut for turning it on and off does nothing. Any ideas?
[02:08] <bazhang> ManBlue: if you have any issues we can help you out-->tried to ask more explicit questions if you can though
[02:08] <Fishscene> !broadcom
[02:08] <bazhang> !yay | drivetrax
[02:08] <seancron> ibleed: its a good lesson.  otherwise we're back to the problems we have with windows :P
[02:08] <draeath> Firefox 3 is putting all kinds of crap up on the screen while I type a URL. Looks like suggestions etc. How do I disable that?
[02:08] <drivetrax>  yay /Root
[02:08] <DBautell> that crap's the best
[02:08] <[T]an3> x1250: was that in response to me?
[02:08] <IntangibleLiquid> draeath: I think its a cool feature
[02:09] <bazhang> ubottu has gained weight (an extra t) ;]
[02:09] <seancron> draeath: i don't know off the top of my head but there is probably something in about:config
[02:09] <drivetrax> fat bot
[02:09] <draeath> IntangibleLiquid: I don't. It's holding my hand and I want it to stop.
[02:09] <draeath> seancron: looking through browser.* right now
[02:09] <egc> are there instructions on determing what the correct DPI (dots per inch) setting is for a particular resolution?
[02:09] <John_S> shadowblade: I think you need to install the fwcutter software if you have a BCM43xx chipset. What do you have?
[02:09] <x1250> eboyjr: this can help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron/RC
[02:09] <drivetrax> lol
[02:09] <x1250> [T]an3: nope
[02:09] <eboyjr> Thanks
[02:10] <dorwardv> how do i test my sound capture device using sound preferences
[02:10] <shadowblade> John_S: I tried that after I tried the b43 driver and had no change
[02:10] <shadowblade> John_S: I get the feeling those drivers broke something :(
[02:10] <Mattevt> When I startup my laptop, and I'm not using dual monitors. The resolution is weird and I have to change the resolution, but the desktop still looks off.
[02:10] <tmapj> f
[02:11] <shadowblade> John_S: its a broadcom 4311, by the way
[02:11] <Dimitree> i am doomed to use windows :( /cry /cry /cry
[02:11] <draeath> found it...
[02:11] <ManBlue> bazhang, It will only let create a new partition size as low as 43.1GB
[02:11] <John_S> shadowblade: Did you enable the driver under System > Admin > Restricted Drivers Manager (or Hardware Manager)
[02:11] <bazhang> draeath: where was it
[02:11] <shadowblade> John_S: yes
[02:11] <draeath> browser.urlbar.maxRichResults
[02:11] <[T]an3> anyone know what makes the compiz features not show up after running aticonfig --dtop=horizontal overlay-on=1?
[02:11] <fde> shadowblade: Do you have b43_fwcutter installed alongside b43?
[02:11] <[T]an3> works after doing aticonfig --dtop=single, just not the other
[02:11] <ibleed> Dimitree, there is nothing major that you can't learn easily with ubuntu to get a working system up and running
[02:11] <shadowblade> fde: I don't think I ever did
[02:11] <draeath> bazhang: set that to 0 and it stops. alternatively it looks like you could just decrease the amount of stuff that comes up.
[02:11] <shadowpool> I accidentally ran "sudo m-a -t a-i" without any other arguments.  Does anyone know what this does?  It install a whole bunch of stuff. . .   :-/
[02:11] <draeath> bazhang: it doesn't disable autocomplete from history though, which is also fine
[02:12] <bazhang> ManBlue: that should be more than enough-->you need more than that you can always go back and resize from vista
[02:12] <tmapj> msg nickserv register wdwdwd
[02:12] <fde> shadowblade: It's required, it is the firmware bits for the wireless...
[02:12] <drivetrax> [T]an3,  have you asked in #compiz-fusion?
[02:12] <bazhang> thanks draeath
[02:12] <grayKot> how to configure placement of panels per desktop. i want up & bottom panels on 1st desktop and no panels on 2n d.
[02:12] <shadowblade> John_S: When the device was showing up, it got no results from iwlist scanning, even though I know the network is working
[02:12] <Dimitree> ibleed i use alot of multimedia .___. and its eather not available on ubuntu, or it doesn't work ._.
[02:12] <bazhang> tmapj: better to use a / before the /msg
[02:12] <tmapj> how do i choose a password
[02:12] <DBautell> and pick a better pwd
[02:12] <RequinB4> shadowblade: bcm4206?
[02:12] <draeath> bazhang: set it to -1 and it works like before but puts more on the screen. -1 is probably what yo uwant
[02:13] <bazhang> tmapj: you might want to do that in server window as well
[02:13] <RequinB4> 43
[02:13] <schitzo> Hello
[02:13] <shadowpool> Hi
[02:13] <[T]an3> drivetrax: thank you, no. I did not know about the channel. Headed there now
[02:13] <John_S> shadowblade: Do what fde said and what I mentioned earlier--install the b43 fwcutter software--that should work.
[02:13] <tmapj> ok how do i choose a pasword???
[02:13] <schitzo> I'll think about it
[02:13] <DBautell> like you just did, tmapj, but start with a /
[02:13] <Mattevt> How can I get Hardy to recognize that I'm not using dual monitors?
[02:13] <bazhang> draeath: oh yeah that is it cheers
[02:13] <draeath> now to make it just stop completely...
[02:13] <DBautell> tmapj, /msg nickserv register pwd
[02:13] <draeath> i dont want ANYTHING popping up while I type
[02:13] <fde> John_S: I didn't see you mention it, sorry... don't want to step on your toes if you're following along  :)
[02:14] <tmapj> it keeps telling me the nickname tmapj is already registered
[02:14] <shadowblade> John_S: thats installed right now
[02:14] <tmapj> it keeps telling me the nickname tmapj is already registered
[02:14] <John_S> fde: No problem. If you have other ideas for him please share. :)
[02:14] <dorwardv> hello can anyone help me, test my microphone using the sound preferences?
[02:14] <bazhang> tmapj: now you need to identify  /msg nickserv identify (your pass here)
[02:14] <drivetrax> tmapj,  /msg nickserv identify (passwordhere)
[02:15] <shadowpool> Does anyone know what "m-a a-i" does?
[02:15] <egc> hardy heron is the most awesomest
[02:15] <John_S> shadowblade: You may have to use ndiswrapper then.
[02:15] <RequinB4> John_S - i can duplicate the problem
[02:15] <bazhang> shadowpool: compiles something
[02:15] <tmapj> now its telling me "You have already identified"
[02:15] <shadowblade> John_S: I've got the driver installed from dell in the 'Windows Wireless Drivers' (which I thought was like a gui for ndiswrapper)
[02:15] <John_S> RequinB4: You are having the same problem as shadowblade?
[02:15] <fde> John_S: That should be all he needs once he's configured NetworkManager correctly... shadowpool: have you gone into System > Administration > Network and ensured all settings are correct?
[02:15] <DBautell> then you win, tmapj
[02:15] <shadowpool> I accidentally ran that and it downloaded and installed a whole bunch of stuff.  o.0
[02:16] <Mattevt> How can I get Hardy to realize I'm not using dual monitors, so my desktop is normal.
[02:16] <tmapj> is tony still here
[02:16] <ManBlue> my wife just told me I can do the whole hard drive, should make things easier right? :)
[02:16] <bazhang> tmapj: now you can pm others
[02:16] <fde> shadowpool: Remove that and use 'ndisgtk' instead
[02:16] <drivetrax> yer wife?
[02:16] <bazhang> tmapj: after asking them of course
[02:16] <tmapj> can someone help me install ubuntu
[02:16] <ManBlue> hahaha
[02:16] <Scientus> is there any merge command for general folders????? --- like merging two home directories
[02:16] <ManBlue> yes
[02:16] <John_S> fde: shadowblade said he couldn't even do a iwlist scan though, so setting Network manager isn't going to help I think.
[02:16] <fde> shadowpool: I really recommend you try harder first to get it working the Linux way though  :)
[02:16] <drivetrax> lool
[02:16] <shadowblade> John_S: System > Admin > Network doesnt even show my wireless device now
[02:16] <tmapj> i dont know what a root file system is nor how to choose it
[02:16] <seancron> ManBlue: sure...the more Ubuntu the better :P
[02:17] <RequinB4> John_S - probably not the same card, i have installed a driver but it  is the wrong one for my rev, so i cant connect to the networks i see
[02:17] <tmapj> can anyone help?
[02:17] <ManBlue> I agree, pulling the trigger......... now
[02:17] <fde> tmapj: /msg me with any questions if you'd like slower moving help...
[02:17] <ibleed> tmapj, the root filesystem is referenced as /
[02:17] <Simonf1> bazhang: if you are still here, Thank you soo much. It worked
[02:18] <drivetrax> Man_of_Wax,  Unetbootin.. google on it..
[02:18] <bazhang> Simonf1: great to hear; nice going ;]
[02:18] <John_S> shadowblade: So you have the driver installed via ndiswrapper?
[02:18] <drivetrax> uh.. ManBlue  -- google on Unetbootin.
[02:18] <shadowpool> fde:  I'm just wondering if I broke something.  I restarted and everything seems to work.  I think it might have installed a whole bunch of modules I don't need--I'm not sure.
[02:18] <skinnymg1> hey guys hows it going
[02:18] <Scientus> tmapj in linux the filesystem is independent of hardware
[02:18] <gambler> hi, i am a fedora user i plan to trial ubuntu now. i am a kde user and i use samba/vnc/httpd extensively in my home network. should I download ubuntu or kubuntu and desktop or server edition??
[02:18] <gambler> I would also like to check out the new gnome desktop
[02:18] <Simonf1> bazhang: "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" that's all it took.
[02:18] <Scientus> a partition can be mounted anywhere, even more than one time
[02:19] <bazhang> drivetrax: the unetbootin link is in ubuntuforums (!wubi) link
[02:19] <RequinB4> Simonf1 - you assume an internet connection
[02:19] <seancron> create two cds gambler, one Kubuntu one Ubuntu as see which you like better
[02:19] <seancron> *and
[02:19] <ibleed> gambler, if your sold on kde then kubuntu would be appropriate.  you can use the same /home folder if you like so you dont lose anything
[02:19] <drivetrax> yay!
[02:19] <Simonf1> RequinB4: yes, I did not find a way to do it without
[02:19] <fde> shadowpool: you can just apt-get remove --purge whatever you got from Dell...
[02:19] <godlygeek> gambler: xubuntu++  :)
[02:20] <ibleed> gambler, sorry didn't see that you can try both out by going with either cd and doing sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:20] <gambler> so do I download desktop or server edition
[02:20] <bazhang> gambler: desktop can easily add LAMP later gnome and kde are both very nice here
[02:20] <amitava_> hello
[02:20] <seancron> desktop most likely gambler
[02:20] <ibleed> desktop would be ok for your needs i think gambler
[02:20] <godlygeek> gambler: ubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu doesn't matter much - try them all, see which you like.
[02:20] <Mattevt> I have dual monitors set up. When I do. The task bar is set up correctly with (Applications Places System) lined up on the top left. When I turned off the computer and unplugged the external monitor, the resolution was still in dual mode. I changed the resolution to fit the single screen but now (apps places system) is lined up on the left...and the items on the task bar are all in different places.
[02:20] <shadowpool> fde: Dell?
[02:20] <gambler> ok cheers
[02:20] <godlygeek> gambler: but, use desktop and add the stuff you need.
[02:21] <amitava_> i am a new ubuntu user
[02:21] <godlygeek> gambler: easier than using server and removing the stuff you don't.
[02:21] <John_S> RequinB4: Do you have the b43-fwcutter software installed? Just curious.
[02:21] <seancron> gambler: the beauty of Linux in general: there's so much to choose from
[02:21] <amitava_> I need some help to access video chat from yahoo

[02:22] <charles|64> hey guys does anyone else have a problem with the amarok multimedia buttons script not staying on when you restart amarok?
[02:22] <godlygeek> skinnymg1: will that work from a livecd?
[02:22] <phoenix180> is there a work around for a possibly corrupt C partition? I wanted to install hardy over the C partition, but as I get close to end, I received an error message stating that there was an error with my hard drive or disk drive.  Additional information: I was using the guided partition setup
[02:22] <Simonf1> bandyo: do you have a question?
[02:22] <skinnymg1> yeah you can do it on a live cd
[02:22] <seancron> godlygeek: i would think it would just install it to ram
[02:22] <gambler> seancron, the beauty and the beast...i think there is such a thing as too much choice
[02:22] <mohamed_> is it possible to remove all evolution packages or is part fromubuntu ?
[02:22] <bazhang> IntangibleLiquid: for the win32codecs? you can just install that one package if you dont want their repos
[02:22] <amitava_> I tryed pdgin
[02:22] <seancron> gambler: amen
[02:22] <chubs730> do you have a question bandyo?
[02:22] <belor1> My GDM login screen wont center please help
[02:22] <belor1> i also cannot see the fll login screen
[02:22] <ibleed> phoenix180, it sounds like your hard drive is possibly failing
[02:22] <Mattevt> am I invisible :P
[02:23] <phoenix180> it's my first time mucking around with any partitions, so if I wanted to do it manually I really wouldn't know where to start except select "ext3"-->is that correct?
[02:23] <bazhang> we can see you Mattevt
[02:23] <drivetrax> phoenix180,  -- did you burn the CD
[02:23] <seancron> Mattevt: I can see your smiley...so no
[02:23] <phoenix180> yes I did
[02:23] <charles|64> hey guys does anyone else have a problem with the amarok multimedia buttons script not staying on when you restart amarok?
[02:23] <John_S> shadowblade: Do you have the driver installed with ndiswrapper? Type "ndiswrapper -l" at the command line...
[02:23] <phoenix180> I burnt it this afternoon
[02:23] <amitava_> thanks bazhang
[02:23] <drivetrax> phoenix180,  did you check the cd.. was it finalized and closed..
[02:23] <IntangibleLiquid> bazhang: thanks :)
[02:23] <amitava_> how can I use yahoo chat?
[02:23] <skinnymg1> Mattevt whats up
[02:23] <RequinB4> John_S: i have tried manually installing the compiled package from the repos, to no avail - i tried this fix - http://tennessee.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=738216 - but realized i am rev 3 and therefore using the wrong driver, so I've go the same problem as Rolcol
[02:24] <phoenix180> using Nero, it said burning process has been completed
[02:24] <IntangibleLiquid> amitava_: pidgin
[02:24] <Mattevt> I need ubuntu to recognize when I'm not using dual monitors
[02:24] <drivetrax> kk.. burn at once.. yeah
[02:24] <bazhang> amitava_: does pidgin not work? what about others? which have you tried--not sure about yahoo video chat (never tried it)
[02:24] <drivetrax> phoenix180,  is C empty now
[02:24] <Simonf1> amitava_: try meebo if you don't mind web-based chat
[02:24] <bazhang> Mattevt: you have clone monitors checked?
[02:24] <ibleed> phoenix180, if your going to do the whole drive and want a ok partitioning scheme for stating off you could do 2x memory for swap, 15gb for / and the rest on /home and if you reinstalled you'd not format your /home to keep your data
[02:25] <fde> shadowpool: Sorry for the delay, yes, you said you got something from Dell which you thought was a GUI for ndiswrapper... if it had deps, I assume it was a .deb ?
[02:25] <skinnymg1> can anyone help me find a driver for my webcam
[02:25] <phoenix180> I'm not sure..all it says is 162.3gb for C and for d: 38889gb
[02:25] <shadowpool> fde:  I think you've got me confused with shadowblade :(
[02:25] <Mattevt> I was using twin view
[02:25] <bazhang> skinnymg1: is it in the webcam list?
[02:25] <John_S> RequinB4: OK sorry to hear that didn't work for you, have you tried ndiswrapper?
[02:25] <ibleed> phoenix180, you ought to be sure if you dont want to lose any data.  be sure to backup important stuff first
[02:25] <skinnymg1> webcam list?
[02:26] <bazhang> !webcam | skinnymg1 check here first
[02:26] <fde> shadowpool: Would appear so... my apologies.
[02:26] <Onyx> let me be the first to say that uninstalling nvidia drivers manually is a pain in the ass.
[02:26] <phoenix180> for this PC it's ok-I want to completely write over windows
[02:26] <RequinB4> John_S thats not the issue
[02:26] <shadowblade_> John_S: sorry, lost my connection for some reason
[02:26] <Mattevt> it sees that no monitor is connected but the resolution is skewed when I turn on the computer, and when I adjust the resolution the buttons on the taskbar are skewed and Apps places System are on the right instead of the left
[02:26] <red22> i want to change my theme... everything. icons, menu colors, backgrounds, login, .. is there a single file/thingy that packages all those things so i can just double click it and have it all applied? (or as close to simple as possible?)
[02:26] <drivetrax> phoenix180,  OMG.. well C.. You might not want to partition .. you could resize C, and install Ubuntu on it.. or, seperately onto D.. depends what you got on that drive
[02:26] <phoenix180> the only concern I have is for the tv tuner
[02:26] <seancron> phoenix180: who doesn't :P
[02:27] <shadowblade_> John_S: I followed the instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=760568 and i've still got nothin
[02:27] <ibleed> phoenix you can nuke them and do what i said to have a good working partitioning scheme that you might thank me for later :)
[02:27] <Simonf1> red22: search google for something like that
[02:27] <phoenix180> saving the data?
[02:27] <Simonf1> shadowblade_: do you have an internet connection>
[02:27] <drivetrax> phoenix180,  i might ask what TV tuner you got there
[02:27] <bazhang> red22: this is for hardy?
[02:27] <t3rm1n4l> j #pitivi
[02:28] <drivetrax> cas like 7.10 and ati cards are iffy
[02:28] <phoenix180> no clue-it came with the PC
[02:28] <shadowblade_> Simonfl: wired, yes
[02:28] <orgain> hi there
[02:28] <red22> Simonf1: i see some sites that have backgrounds and things individually, but i'm not finding a all-in-one package

[02:28] <arvind_khadri> is hardy all right with EXT3??
[02:28] <fde> arvind_khadri: I'd think so... it's the default file system  ;)
[02:28] <Simonf1> shadowblade_: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[02:28] <skinnymg1> no its not on the list
[02:28] <orgain> arvind_khadri,  shure why not?
[02:28] <Simonf1> shadowblade_: then restart
[02:28] <bazhang> red22 dl the themes you want into a folder then install new themes (from appearnaces) chose from that folder
[02:28] <shadowblade_> Simonfl: already installed
[02:29] <arvind_khadri> fde, the mailing lists show that there is some kinda bug with that
[02:29] <Dr_willis> arvind_khadri,  most people use ext4
[02:29] <Dr_willis> arvind_khadri,  most people use ext3 i mean. :)
[02:29] <Simonf1> shadowblade_: and you restarted?
[02:29] <shadowblade_> Simonfl: yep, a few times
[02:29] <skinnymg1> it works in cheese but i cant get it to work with my stream
[02:29] <bazhang> red22: you can get themes from a nubmer of places--> gnome-look.org is one
[02:29] <fde> arvind_khadri: Ubuntu is used by (tens of) millions, and almost all use ext3... I think it'll be fine!
[02:29] <phoenix180> I have saved the data from it before-I had to keep reinstalling windows on it before using that system restore option
[02:30] <Simonf1> shadowblade_: 1. sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist 2. Change “blacklist bcm43xx” to “#blacklist bcm43xx” 3. Restart. You should get a restricted driver message. 4. Enable restricted drive. 5. Restart and you are good to go
[02:30] <RequinB4> Simonf1 - ANY thoughts for getting it done without internet
[02:30] <sparr> why the hell does my dist-upgrade fail, but it can continue when i re-run it?
[02:30] <arvind_khadri> Dr_willis, i too do :) am doing upgrade now,was checking mails and saw lots of ppl having trouble and having to re-install
[02:30] <phoenix180> geez-louise I have been fighting with this since this morning
[02:30] <Simonf1> RequinB4: see last messege
[02:30] <bazhang> red22 /msg ubottu themes for more links
[02:30] <Dr_willis> arvind_khadri,  im having issues with 'other' things. :)
[02:30] <red22> bazhang: hold on i will try on and see if it has all the changes i'm looking for ty :) i'll get back to you.
[02:31] <bazhang> red22 no worries ;]
[02:31] <arvind_khadri> Dr_willis, :)
[02:31] <Mattevt> so no one has had a problem when switching from dual to single monitor
[02:31] <shadowblade_> Simonfl: Ok, restarting
[02:31] <John_S> Simonf1: It seems like shadowblade might still have problems because his driver is all ready installed via ndiswrapper--he needs to disable that to follow your procedure--don't you think?
[02:31] <bazhang> sparr: it is timing out? what is the exact issue please
[02:32] <RequinB4> Simon - OK, and for enable restricted drive i should just manually install the firmware (assuming it needs a download)
[02:32] <phoenix180> ok is it possible to start a new partition and then sort of adjust it or tweak it to have most of the space in the newly created partition?
[02:32] <arooni> please someone tell me how to get a tftp server up and running on ubuntu?  please someone tell me how to get a tftp server up and running on ubuntu?
[02:32] <sparr> bazhang: it fails because a package install/upgrade fails
[02:32] <eboyjr> Should I install Hardy now?
[02:32] <eboyjr> its alpha though
[02:32] <IndyGunFreak> eboyjr: ? hardy isn't alpha
[02:32] <RequinB4> eboyjr: Hardy is post-release
[02:32] <Simonf1> John_S: I did what he did and it worked, only problem is I did 3 things at once without restarting so I'm not sure which one worked
[02:32] <bazhang> eboyjr: may want to wait depending on if you have laptop or desktop
[02:33] <eboyjr> Ohhhh..... Who wants to update Wikipedia for me? :)
[02:33] <eboyjr> bazhang, desktop
[02:33] <IndyGunFreak> eboyjr: you're not usign ppc are you?.. i guess that might still be alpha
[02:33] <eboyjr> Wikipedia says hardy is alphs
[02:33] <John_S> Simonf1: So your driver is installed with ndiswrapper too?
[02:33] <bazhang> eboyjr: best bet is to run livecd first
[02:33] <techqbert> hey guys, if I used a script to tarball ~/ and than rsync, would rsync just update the .zip on the backup disk with w.e binary values are new
[02:33] <eboyjr> IndyGunFreak, I dunno what ppc is :(
[02:33] <TalibJayid> hi
[02:33] <RequinB4> !hi
[02:33] <TalibJayid> anyone using a soundblaster x-fi in linux?
[02:33] <IndyGunFreak> eboyjr: mac hardware
[02:33] <Simonf1> John_S: oh, ndiswrapper, sorry. I tried that and failed
[02:33] <eboyjr> IndyGunFreak, Nope: Dell
[02:34] <eboyjr> piece of crapola
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> eboyjr: ok, then its final release, has been a few days
[02:34] <eboyjr> IndyGunFreak, Okay, thanks
[02:34] <rockysynergy> Hey can any of you how to "run gdb
[02:34] <rockysynergy> first, and then run inkscape from within gdb"
[02:34] <eboyjr> bazhang, Why's that? and not through the Update Manager?
[02:34] <nowimproved> this is the second time this happened to me , and i dont know what to do , it is at the end of the install and asks to insert a different disc durring it trying to install grub
[02:34] <shadowblade> Simonf1: Ok...I did that, but didn't get the restricted drivers window, so I checked it and the broadcom driver isnt listed there anymore
[02:34] <John_S> Simonf1: I think shadowblade having his driver installed via ndiswrapper, and then also trying to use the restricted driver instead, could be a problem.
[02:34] <RequinB4> Everyone seems to be saying ndiswrapper fails with the Broadom43 issue
[02:34] <Judeglass> odd.
[02:34] <Zackymc_k> does anyone have a problem with vista blue screening after ubuntu install? it boots after force shutting it down but takes forever to get working... Any ideas???
[02:35] <bazhang> eboyjr: well if you are ready for possible bugs-->what video card nvidia or ati
[02:35] <Squa7ch> in 8.04, how would I get to the Shared Folders settings like in 7.10, System>Administration>Shared Folders, where would that be in 8.04?
[02:35] <shadowblade> John_S: The restricted driver isn't listed anymore, and its still not working
[02:35] <eboyjr> bazhang, ati (really, really old)
[02:35] <eboyjr> bazhang, rage 128 pro
[02:35] <Simonf1> shadowblade: look here http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
[02:35] <eboyjr> or something
[02:36] <Judeglass> found after much searchign that for the ipw2200 driver in Hardy Heron: rmmod ipw2200 then modprobe ipw2200 brings it back up fully functional
[02:36] <Simonf1> shadowblade: John_S had another idea too
[02:36] <shadowblade> Simonf1: I did that once before and that made my wireless device disappear...it was listed before that, but it just wasn't picking up any networks when I know mines working
[02:36] <nowimproved> it says please insert the disc labled ubuntu bleh bleh and i cant even open the drive for one
[02:36] <Judeglass> while it appears to be working automatically
[02:36] <bazhang> eboyjr: well if you have sufficient ram and willing to deal with some outstanding bugs may be worht it; if gutsy is good fro you now may want to hold off
[02:36] <Judeglass> it doesn't quite
[02:36] <RequinB4> John_S shadowblade Simonf1 - The restricted drivers manager suggests not using bcm43xx
[02:36] <AlabamaHit> what does  The composite extension is not available mean. It tells me that when i try to enable the Extras in Visual Effects.
[02:37] <bazhang> nowimproved: disable the cd as repo source in synaptic
[02:37] <eboyjr> bazhang, I dont have any ram ;) ( 512 MB ) .... I'll make a CD... I need one anyway :)
[02:37] <eboyjr> bazhang, Thanks
[02:37] <Simonf1> RequinB4: what do you mean? If it is the only thing we have...
[02:37] <sparr> how can i switch from mythbuntu to ubuntu or kubuntu splash screens?
[02:37] <bazhang> no worries eboyjr ;]
[02:37] <RequinB4> John_S shadowblade Simonf1 - b43-fwcutter_011-1_i386.deb
[02:37] <Squa7ch> in 8.04, how would I get to the Shared Folders settings like in 7.10, System>Administration>Shared Folders, where would that be in 8.04?
[02:37] <nowimproved> bazhang, so i have to start over again?
[02:37] <jmknsd> HUZZAH! wireless on my laptop with HH!
[02:38]  * jmknsd dances.
[02:38] <ehc> when I start ubuntu there is no sound working, I just have to reset alsa and it will start working. Why could this be? Is there I way I can change this?
[02:38] <RequinB4> John_S shadowblade Simonf1 - is the file that W failed to get when trying to install via the manager
[02:38] <nowimproved> bazhang, i am using the alternative installer disc
[02:38] <shadowblade> RequinB4: whats that and/or where is it?
[02:38] <John_S> RequinB4: Where does the restricted driver manager say it does not recommend bcm43xx?
[02:38] <Mattevt> okay in "Monitor Resolution Settings" I de-select "Clone Screens" hit apply, then close. but when I go back into Resolution Settings, clone screens is checked again.
[02:38] <bazhang> nowimproved: not at all-->just go into synaptic and is this already installed?
[02:38] <[T]an3> what is the gui for compiz?
[02:38] <[T]an3> where can i adjust settings?
[02:38] <bazhang> ccsm [T]an3
[02:38] <[T]an3> ahhh thats right, thanks
[02:39] <nowimproved> bazhang, i am running the installer for a fresh install and this message comes up when installing grub and i cant take the installer disc out right now anyway
[02:39] <jonas3d> is there a way to clear out packages that have failed to install but apt-get keeps trying to reinstall when running dpkg reconfigure -a ?
[02:39] <Dimitree> ok ill try OSx .__.
[02:39] <bazhang> ehc in sound preferences change from autodetect to alsa
[02:39] <nowimproved> it is right at the end of the install process
[02:39] <drivetrax> [T]an3,  - i get at it by right clicking the desktop.. and looking at them
[02:39] <nowimproved> it wont let me do anything i cant continue and finish the install
[02:40] <RequinB4> John_S shadowblade Simonf1 - Not blacklisted, just suggests the fwcutter of a different driver (b43 fwcutter).  PATH = archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/b43-fwcuttr_011-1_i386.deb  I assume everyone has i386
[02:40] <bazhang> nowimproved: does it stop? can you ignore the message?
[02:40] <skinnymg1> so theres no way to get my cam working if its not on the list
[02:40] <skinnymg1> yes
[02:40] <RequinB4> John_S shadowblade Simonf1 - this is the error W gives when trying to let hardware drivers automatically install what was needed w/o a internet conneciton
[02:40] <bazhang> hangon skinnymg1
[02:40] <shadowblade> RequinB4: that link is 404
[02:40] <Simonf1> im using b43 fwcutter
[02:40] <Farnaby> Anybody have any ideas why clicking on the azureus icon won't launch it?
[02:41] <nowimproved> bazhang, i cant do anything
[02:41] <John_S> shadowblade: I think if you want to use Simonf1's suggestion you need to uninstall the ndiswrapper driver--you can't use them both simultaneously.
[02:41] <bazhang> http://www.linuxlove.org/2007/11/12/linux-webcam-microsoft-lifecam-nx-6000-on-ubuntu-and-fedora/ check this list skinnymg1
[02:41] <Hoenikker> ok, i give up, i can't get the brother MFC 685 CW working ever since i got 8.04
[02:41] <hamled> After upgrading to 8.04, while it appears that compiz is working (I get the wobbly windows and such), my previous settings have disappeared, and I can't seem to enable the emerald theme manager. When this happened in gutsy, there was an option in the preferences menu called "GL Desktop" that I guess would reload compiz, but that option is no longer available. How would I go about enabling the emerald themes and possibly getting my deskto
[02:42] <shadowblade> John_S: how do I get the restricted driver back then?
[02:42] <RequinB4> shadowblade - should be an e in cutter (not cuttr)
[02:42] <bazhang> hamled: what about alt f2 emerald --replace
[02:42] <n2diy> My flash card reader stopped responding, how can I restart it?
[02:42] <bazhang> nowimproved: what disk is it asking for?
[02:42] <sparr> wtf @ akiradnews install script popping up a GUI dialog?!?
[02:42] <RAID> hey guys
[02:43] <Zackymc_k> does anyone have a problem with vista blue screening after ubuntu install? it boots after force shutting it down but takes forever to get working... Any ideas???
[02:43] <RAID> I cant seem to get Java work on Firefox 2 on Ubuntu
[02:43] <jonas3d> ok i'll rephrase this... dpkg will not let me install anything with out reconfiguring but the reconfigure fails when it reaches the package that has failed.  Can I kill that package out from being reconfigured?
[02:43] <eriqjaffe> Is there some trick to getting conky to recognize if Sonata is running or not?
[02:43] <RequinB4> Simonf1 - as you know, b43 blacklists bcm43xx...  Maybe this is supposed to happen, i'm just jotting down notes
[02:43] <bazhang> Zackymc_k: not really an ubuntu issue; not sure about vista problems here
[02:43] <John_S> shadowblade: To remove ndiswrapper, I think all it might take is "sudo rmmod ndiswrapper" and check there is no ndiswrapper listed in /etc/modules either.
[02:43] <hamled> bazhang, thanks, that worked to get my themes back :) now I just need to figure out how to get the desktop settings I had, since they never seemed to work from the "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" app, I had to set them up in the GL desktop application
[02:44] <LunaFreeState> Raid:  Install the restricted software package
[02:44] <shadowblade> John_S: ok, restarting again
[02:44] <RAID> ooh
[02:44] <LunaFreeState> Raid:  It has java in it
[02:44] <Zackymc_k> i will ask HP
[02:44] <RAID> ok
[02:44] <ibleed> RAID, installing ubuntu-restricted-extras often fixes that problem for people i think its sun-java6-bin and one other one i can't remember
[02:44] <John_S> shadowblade: Did you make sure ndiswrapper isn't in the file /etc/modules?
[02:44] <n2diy> How can I restart a hotswap device, like an SD card?
[02:45] <nowimproved> bazhang, the ubuntu-8.04 which is how i am installing it and it is in the drive
[02:45] <RAID> I ran across that package and downloaded it but then I did a complete removal at that moment, so I'm going to install it again
[02:45] <jihsro> hey is it quicker to get ubuntu from a torrent or an ftp server?
[02:45] <RequinB4> The b43 driver only works for Broadcom chipsets bcm4306 rev 4 and later I'm told - use bcm43xx driver and bcm43xx-fwcutter for bcm4306 rev 3 and earlier.
[02:45] <Dr_willis> jihsro,  at this time the torrents are MUCH faster
[02:45] <YouKnowMe> Is there anyway I can run FF 2.0 instead of the beta, until my fav extensions become compatible
[02:45] <bazhang> nowimproved: and there was fail install package?
[02:45] <RequinB4> I'm rev 3, so that's why
[02:45] <bazhang> jihsro: torrents
[02:46] <Dr_willis> YouKnowMe,  you can isntall ff2. Or you can use the 'nightly tester tools' extensioon for FF3 to force it to use the ff2 extensions
[02:46] <bazhang> YouKnowMe: sure just install it
[02:46] <RAID> direct download
[02:46] <lowlux> how do i reset compiz fuse?
[02:46] <nowimproved> bazhang, no fail that i know of , it is trying to do grub and i am prompted with this message and i thought it was a fluke , but i installed again and it happened again at the same part
[02:46] <wookienz> hi.. i have istalled an ircd in /etc/ircd but want to make a link in etc/init.d/ so i can run restarts and stops etc rfom there... what is the command?
[02:46] <shadowblade> John_S: Still doesn't work  :(
[02:46] <fengyulu> Hi everybody!!!
[02:46] <bazhang> lowlux you mean disable? alt f2 metacity --replace  then alt f2 compiz --replace
[02:46] <John_S> shadowblade; Did you make sure ndiswrapper isn't in the file /etc/modules?
[02:47] <gaspipe1> hey people
[02:47] <bazhang> nowimproved: this is a fresh install or an upgrade?
[02:47] <nowimproved> a fresh install bazhang
[02:47] <lonran> a command to know what filesystem i am using?
[02:47] <lowlux> i mean reset the compiz setting from when i frist installed it.
[02:47] <bazhang> lonran: mount?
[02:48] <phoenix180> would I have a better chance of installing 7.10 first and then trying to upgrade from there?
[02:48] <shadowblade> John_S: sorry, what all do I need to do to remove ndiswrapper again? I think I might have forgotten something besides that
[02:48] <egc> dudes
[02:48] <LunaFreeState> Ionran: i think fdisk -l
[02:48] <bazhang> lowlux not sure what that was
[02:48] <egc> how to i use desktop cube?
[02:48] <jazzydave> just got 804 running on inspiron 1525
[02:48] <egc> i.e. key combo?
[02:48] <bazhang> !cube | egc
[02:48] <lonran> bazhang, thnks
[02:48] <Simonf1> shadowblade, unplug the internet cord for a few secons, then try typing the name of the network you want to connect to. It took a while for it to work for me.
[02:48] <egc> aww
[02:48] <cybojanek> egc: Ctrl+alt and left click on the desktop
[02:48] <nks_> Hello all !, Hey, i have a serious problem ! I'm able to play avi and mp4 files with totem dvd player., but, unable to play anything else ! I've done some of everything but nothing's appearing to work ! HELP PLEASE ANYONE -LOL-!

[02:49] <MacDaddy> hey 8.04 isnt seeing my graphics card, everything is really big, and i cant change the rez past 800x680
[02:49] <John_S> shadowblade: Do a "sudo rmmod ndiswrapper" and check there is no ndiswrapper listed in /etc/modules either.
[02:49] <shadowblade> Simonf1: the wireless device still isnt even showing up
[02:49] <Simonf1> nks_: use VLC
[02:49] <egc> thanks all, mine doesnt seem to work then

[02:49] <drivetrax> super-O
[02:49] <weeman13221> anyone good with multiple OS networking like using ubuntu windows xp pro and OSX leopard on a network together sharing files
[02:49] <Simonf1> shadowblade: ok, that is odd, it showed up for me. I wonder if there is another problem also
[02:49] <bazhang> nks_: what about vlc or other players
[02:49] <LunaFreeState> egc: Try looking to see it the short cuts are on
[02:49] <phoenix180> one more question: is it a terrible idea to delete the C partition?
[02:50] <MacDaddy> nvm all
[02:50] <pete___> lol
[02:50] <bazhang> phoenix180: only if you are trying to dual boot ;]
[02:50] <shadowblade> John_S: Ok, it was listed in /etc/modules, so I removed it
[02:50] <nks_> I've tried VLC but was unable to get it to work ! Is there a code that i need to type in terminal?
[02:50] <drivetrax> phoenix180,  - you got disk to install windows back on it?
[02:50] <phoenix180> ohh I see
[02:50] <sourgrape> only if you don't want to ever use windows again :)
[02:50] <shadowblade> Simonf1: I think when i installed the b43 drivers, it broke something
[02:50] <John_S> shadowblade: Great, now reboot again and we'll see where you're at.
[02:50] <shadowblade> John_S: ok...
[02:50] <drivetrax> phoenix180,  using the same disk manager.. (ie, installer boot loader) no problem
[02:50] <RequinB4> Whoever is still working on broadcom - did it work in gutsy
[02:50] <LadyNikon> so ..
[02:51] <IntangibleLiquid> nks_: vlc works fine for me. try running it from the terminal to see what's wrong
[02:51] <Simonf1> shadowblade: broke what?
[02:51] <Gustov> sooo
[02:51] <LadyNikon> i just updated my 7.10 and my graphics settings are gone.

[02:51] <LadyNikon> has there been any reports about the updates borking the system?
[02:51] <itrebal> I've heard reports that the new version of Ubuntu is pretty unstable; is this an unsubstantiated localized issue? or are a lot of people having problems with it?

[02:51] <nks_> IntangibleLiquid - ok, i'll give it another try !

[02:52] <nowimproved> not the live disc LunaFreeState the alternaive
[02:52] <phoenix180> oh ok so I can delete it when I am at the manual partition screen? and then..create a brand new one? sorry for the lame questions..for the first time I really don't have a single clue
[02:52] <Dr_willis> You cant eject the live cd while you are using it.
[02:52] <Simonf1> shadowblade John_s: it's been nice, I gtg. Good luck.
[02:52] <sourgrape> I upgraded a 5 year old laptop to the new version, it went really smoothly for the most part

I just think they are oo 'soft' so i want to adjust the so called "spring constant" but even when its maxed out (10.0) the windows are still too 'soft'. Does anyone know which configuration file i need to edit to set this manually?
[02:52] <itrebal> bazhang: a friend of mine had an issue, and before upgradin gmy girlfriend's system, I'd like to make sure she's not going to be super pissed at it not working :)
[02:52] <nowimproved> well wtf Dr_willis why does it ask for a media change then? wtf

[02:56] <shadowblade> John_S: its not there - I think b43 got rid of it
[02:56] <david_-_-> maco you there?
[02:56] <n2diy> nowimproved: look in /media?
[02:56] <maco> david_-_-: im doing homework
[02:56] <sourgrape> Lady, official to whom?
[02:56] <LunaFreeState> nowimproved: wait a minute you want to eject the live cd while using it?
[02:57] <rockysynergy> Can any of you tell me what is the command I can use to record all of my terminal output into a file?
[02:57] <John_S> shadowblade: And do you see Wireless Connection listed System > Admin > Network?
[02:57] <Bricker> could someone help me please:  after connecting my LCD monitor and activating twinview, some of my text is HUGE (for example, log on user/password, and some text in firefox/epiphany)
[02:57] <david_-_-> maco:  ah ok just real quik lol yes wine does work with 64bit sorry i was afk  for while.
[02:57] <weeman13221> LadyNikon, depends on ur video card cause with mine there arent and restricted drivers in ubuntu for my card
[02:57] <shadowblade> John_S: nope :(
[02:57] <LadyNikon> weeman13221: well the restricted driver is not in use for some weird reason
[02:57] <phoenix180> say I think a part of ubuntu did actually install because now while trying to install from 7.10 the total amount of space has shrunk a bit. It went from 162.3gb to 151.3gb.  *sigh* I'm going to keep trying
[02:57] <weeman13221> LadyNikon: other than that just go through nvidias site
[02:57] <hamled> Ok, so it appears that while compiz is working and all that, none of the settings from CompizConfig are actually put into effect. I can disable "wobbly windows" for instance and it still has wobbly windows on the desktop
[02:57] <LadyNikon> how do i turn it on
[02:57] <nowimproved> LunaFreeState, that is the plan , seeing how it is asking for a media change?
[02:57] <weeman13221> LadyNikon: what type of card are u using
[02:57] <John_S> shadowblade: Is wlan0 listed in your /etc/network/interfaces file?
[02:57] <simone> I run hardy and my panels completely disappeared after I restarted in GNOME
[02:57] <simone> How do I get my panels back?
[02:57] <simone> What I can do is very limited.
[02:57] <Bricker> in fact, text is so huge that i can't access google to search for an answer
[02:58] <bazhang> hamled: you need to go into appearances and set to none
[02:58] <nowimproved> so hopefully if i eject it and put it back in it will fix it i dont know LunaFreeState i have never seen anything like this
[02:58] <bazhang> !resetpanels | simone
[02:58] <maco> hamled: check that your system -> pref -> appearance -> desktop effects is set to "custom"
[02:58] <anoble> hello can someone help, i think my Nvidia Driver is corrupt
[02:58] <saxofoner> anoble: uninstall the package and reinstall
[02:58] <shadowblade> John_S: nope, it says 'auto lo' and 'iface lo inet loopback'
[02:58] <DefineKThyne> Firefox won't play videos, either with Totem or VLC plugins, any ideas?
[02:58] <anoble> how?
[02:59] <hamled> maco, oh, hmm 'custom' wasnt' there before, but I guess it is now?
[02:59] <Bricker> saxofoner: help me!
[02:59] <saxofoner> yes Bricker?
[02:59] <LunaFreeState> nowimproved:  that does sound strange, i installed from a flash drive, maybe that is an option for you?
[02:59] <John_S> bazhang: Do you have experience with a Broadcom BCM4311 chipset wireless card? I think I heard some say earlier you've got a broadcom card yourself.
[02:59] <firedice> Good evening everyone....first time here
[02:59] <bazhang> DefineKThyne: firefox? is this flash?
[02:59] <Bricker> saxofoner:  after connecting my LCD monitor and activating twinview, some of my text is HUGE (for example, log on user/password, and some text in firefox/epiphany)
[02:59] <nowimproved> nope no option for me , my computer cant boot of a flash drive
[02:59] <John_S> shadowblade: Hang on...
[02:59] <bazhang> John_S: just a few link-->no actual card myself
[02:59] <n2diy> firedice: fire away! ;)
[02:59] <anoble> everything keeps on hanging, and it really seems to die
[03:00] <saxofoner> heh, Bricker, do I just strike you as an expert?  I'll try to help though
[03:00] <DefineKThyne> bazhang: not entirely sure, maybe WMV, but it was playing with Totem last night.
[03:00] <LunaFreeState> nowimproved:  you checked the bios settings?
[03:00] <shadowblade> John_S: ok, thanks for all your help, btw
[03:00] <eubey> how do i block all wine applicatoins from accessing the internet?
[03:00] <Bricker> saxofoner:  anyone who plays the sax has to be an expert :P
[03:00] <LunaFreeState> nowimproved:  I had to change mine to do it
[03:00] <Bricker> and thank you :)
[03:00] <weeman13221> LadyNikon: what kinds of video card are u using?
[03:00] <bazhang> DefineKThyne: well kind of important to know-->what site let me check
[03:00] <simone> bazhang: I have no gnome-panel
[03:00] <scurry7> anyone in here good with iptables???????????????
[03:00] <DBautell> !ati > DBautell
[03:00] <John_S> bazhang: Do you know of a working solution for shadowblade's problem? You probably haven't been following, but he has a BCM4311.
[03:01] <firedice> anyone able to assist me in my quest to get vmware server correctly installed on this box?
[03:01] <lesjohn> i'm trying to play a streaming mp3 with mplayer and it plays a second and then stops, then plays again, etc... anyone have any idea to improve the playback?  i've been able to get other formats fine
[03:01] <scurry7> iptables anyone??????????????
[03:01] <DefineKThyne> bazhang: give me a min
[03:01] <bazhang> simone: folloiw the instructions I sent yu abot
[03:01] <nowimproved> LunaFreeState, number one i am sure that i cant install of a flash drive , number 2 i dont have one handy, number 3 this is ridiculous, i should be able to install from a cd , number 4 this is like the 5th time i have attempted to install this bs and i am sick of it

[03:02] <ryan__> hi. was adjusting video in ubuntu 8.04, and restarted x11 to 'out-of-range' signal from the monitor.. have tried dpkg-configure and other methods.. i believe the xorg.conf to be broken, but i can't do an accurate hardware detect.. can anyone help with this.. thanks
[03:02] <bazhang> simone: then install it
[03:02] <LunaFreeState> nowimproved:  try reburning the cd or another cd drive if one is handy, another distro if not
[03:03] <Bricker> saxofoner:  it's not just logon font.. and unfortunately, the text in that page is also huge
[03:03] <bazhang> ryan__: try starting up in safe mode then down the res and load the appropriate drivers

[03:03] <maco> scurry7: firestarter is a nice GUI for setting up iptables rules
[03:03] <IntangibleLiquid> bazhang: if some wifi networks show up in my nm-applet, does it mean that my wireless card is working properly? I haven't tried to get online using my wireless card though because all of them are encrypted
[03:03] <Shpoo2> If anyone remembers me coming in here trying to fix my computer freezing when playing video, I found the fix. It was all related to the bug when sound preferences are set to auto-detect. I set them all to alsa as suggested, and everything is fine. Hope that can help someone else.
[03:03] <bazhang> IntangibleLiquid: that is a good sign ;]
[03:03] <arooni> anyone know how to make tftp work on ubuntu?  i was trying: http://www.davidsudjiman.info/2006/03/27/installing-and-setting-tftpd-in-ubuntu/ and http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch16_:_Telnet,_TFTP,_and_xinetd#Installing_The_TFTP_Server_Software with no luck :(
[03:03] <sourgrape> firedice - what do you need to use VM Server for?  Just playing around?  Or do you have VMs already set up?
[03:03] <nowimproved> lmao LunaFreeState i dont think that will do any good, and another disto is probably the way to go, the ubuntu community knows nothing
[03:03] <jpastore> hi, I just upgraded to 8.04 and my wifi stopped working...I was using wicd to manage my wifi. any ideas on wha tI can do to bring this back?
[03:03] <bazhang> thanks Shpoo2
[03:03] <scurry7> maco thanks i have tryed that......(im having trouble with iptables telling it not to masquerade multiple subnets
[03:03] <aib> is famd, the File Alteration Monitor daemon, installed by default on ubuntu?
[03:04] <LadyNikon> ok so.. under the restricted drivers.. I have nvidia .. but in status it says "not in use"
[03:04] <maco> Bricker: check your DPI in system -> preferences -> appearances -> font -> details
[03:04] <John_S> shadowblade: Did you follow simonf1's directions exactly about the restricted driver? Because if that didn't work with ndiswrapper uninstalled, then you may have no choice but to try and get ndiswrapper solution working.
[03:04] <LadyNikon> how do I use it?
[03:04] <garry> Does anyone know how to completely remove wine from your system?
[03:04] <firedice> I like to set up 3 things ....WOW - 3ds max and photoshop
[03:04] <astro76> garry: what's left, menu entries?
[03:04] <maco> scurry7: oh.  firestarter's meant for simple things.  maybe guarddog? its more complicated and can do more complicated things...
[03:04] <bazhang> garry: go into synaptic and check remove completely
[03:04] <n2diy> !bugs | Shpoo2
[03:04] <LunaFreeState> nowimpoved:  that is the spirit, blame some one else
[03:04] <Shpoo2> bazhang: No, thank you and everyone else in here that has saved everyone's arse many a times. :-)
[03:04] <ryan__> bazhang: (unregistered sorry)  down the resolution in xorg.conf?
[03:04] <aib> could someone who has not expliticly installed famd run `ps -A | grep fam' and tell me if it's listed?
[03:04] <shadowblade> John_S: I think all simonf1 told me was to restart and hope the box comes up
[03:04] <scurry7> guarddog...i'll give it a try : thanks
[03:04] <garry> astro76: Menu items yes, but when I click on the wine apps, it will still load the application like normal. Does that mean wine is still kicking around somewhere in there?
[03:05] <IntangibleLiquid> bazhang: where are you from?
[03:05] <bazhang> ryan__: donw the res in monitors gui setting
[03:05] <maco> aib: its not
[03:05] <bazhang> IntangibleLiquid: Earth ;]
[03:05] <garry> bazhang: I've done that :(
[03:05] <IntangibleLiquid> lol
[03:05] <aib> thanks
[03:05] <anoble> can someone help 8.04 just keeps running the boot script then dies right after
[03:05] <Shpoo2> n2diy: It's already been filed, that's where I got the fix from. I'm getting ready to add my scenario to it though. :-D
[03:05] <Moridin333> I'm trying to install jinzora (a website to view media such as video and mp3s from a host) but when I try to run the install.php firefox tries to download the file instead on run it.  I have installed apache2 php5 mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql php5-gd.  any ideas?
[03:05] <ryan__> bazhang: i can't get into a gui.. only command prompt
[03:05] <kdorf> aib: No output for that command
[03:05] <sourgrape> garry - have you tried sudo apt-get remove wine  ?
[03:05] <aib> thanks, maco, kdorf
[03:05] <bazhang> ryan__: try starting up in recovery mode
[03:05] <n2diy> Shpoo2:  good job, thanks.
[03:06] <garry> sourgrape: yep, lemme try it again though I forget what it tells me.
[03:06] <Eric> That was pretty instant and unexpected
[03:06] <Eric> Oopsie poopsie
[03:06] <Bricker> going tot ry it
[03:06] <bazhang> garry some of my wine stuff has hung around after I uninstalled wine--> you can hunt it down and manually removie it  if you wish
[03:06] <sourgrape> garry -k, let me know what it says - I had some issues with WINE on 8.04 myself
[03:06] <John_S> shadowblade: here was what simonf1 said earlier: 1. sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist 2. Change “blacklist bcm43xx” to “#blacklist bcm43xx” 3. Restart. You should get a restricted driver message. 4. Enable restricted drive. 5. Restart and you are good to go.   Did you do this exactly? That's what supposedly worked for him.
[03:06] <Eric> The hell do i add an IRC server in Xchat?
[03:06] <schnoowork> if i wanted to use hotmail/gmail/yahoo with my email client is it best to go thunderbird(what i previously used) or just go with evolution
[03:06] <n2diy> My flash card reader stopped responding, how can I restart it?
[03:06] <Shpoo2> n2diy: Gotta do my part to keep open source moving. :-)
[03:07] <bazhang> schnoowork: depends on what you like better
[03:07] <shadowblade> John_S: yea, I did that - the message never came up
[03:07] <DefineKThyne> bazhang: yeah, wmv. it's not flash. i've got both Totem and VLC plugins for firefox and i just get a plain black screen with (no video) on it.
[03:07] <sourgrape> Schnoo - personal opinion - thunderbird was better for me than evolution, but I dn't use the calender
[03:07] <garry> bazhang: I'm not sure which files to remove and don't wanna dmg my system :( I'm a nub.
[03:07] <firedice> sourgrape - virtual box runs apps and games?
[03:07] <n2diy> Shpoo2:  Exactly!!!!
[03:07] <ryan__> bazhang: i have..  it offers normal boot, command prompt, and fix xwindows.. my only option is the command prompt since normal boot sends my monitors to blank
[03:07] <garry> sourgrape: I said it was removed, then I tested it with WoW and it would still load like normal
[03:07] <bazhang> DefineKThyne: what is the link let me check
[03:07] <sourgrape> firedice - really depends on the games.  I'd give the games a try in Crossover Office or Wine first
[03:07] <fde> firedice: VirtualBox runs operating systems, which can run apps and games  :)
[03:07] <david__--> et
[03:07] <david__--> et
[03:07] <firedice> wine does not work for me
[03:07] <schnoowork> bazhang, i guess my question is can you set those up easily on evolution. For thunderbird i jsut needed a hotmail plugin.
[03:07] <david__--> can someone help me install dreamweaver?
[03:08] <sourgrape> firedice - but yes, it will run games
[03:08] <bazhang> schnoowork: only used t-bird myself so best to ask the channel ;]
[03:08] <sourgrape> schnoo - no idea - I use Tbird for gmail
[03:08] <IntangibleLiquid> schnoowork: for email I prefer the online page though
[03:08]  * PrivateVoid waves
[03:08] <bazhang> david__--: have you checked appdb for that?
[03:08] <SirBob1701> hey guys what package in ubuntu had the X11 headers?
[03:08] <saxofoner> Bricker: just open your fonts settings, one of them should (or more) be set too hight
[03:08] <John_S> shadowblade: Well, try adding "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" to the beginning of your /etc/network/interfaces file, with a few blank lines after it. That will at least enable us to select your wireless connection in Network manager I think.
[03:08] <saxofoner> *high
[03:08] <astro76> SirBob1701: xorg-dev I'd assume
[03:09] <sourgrape> garry - that's odd.  If you run aptitude, filter by installed apps, then search WINE does something come up?
[03:09] <SirBob1701> astro76: thank i'll try it
[03:09] <ChoboMog> Hi...I've installed Hardy and have been having a little trouble setting up surround sound.  I have it working perfectly in almost every application which can use it (VLC, Firefox/Flash, etc), but I can't get it to work in either Rhythmbox or Amarok media players.  Does anyone know if there are any advanced settings which could fix this?
[03:09] <astro76> SirBob1701: or xserver-xorg-dev
[03:09] <gaspipe1> what would be the most thourough way of removing the app screenlets? I think i have an old one.
[03:09] <gaspipe1> i would like to remove then re-install it fresh
[03:09] <Bricker> saxofoner:  no, only happens after i connect my second monitor  (i'm going to disconnect it.. but b/c of my inefficient setup, it's a huge pain) brb
[03:09] <sourgrape> garry - sorry, not aptitude... Synaptic ... need more scotch!
[03:09] <surlyduff> hey..  my system crashed while upgrading from gutsy and now the Update Manager says to do a partial upgrade, but then tells me it can't.  any thoughts on what to do?
[03:09] <ryan__> bazhang: i have started in recover mode..  it offers normal boot, command prompt, and fix xwindows.. my only option is the command prompt since normal boot sends my monitors to blank.. i tried dpkg-reconfigure and more from the command prompt.. nothing seems to recognize hardware i've been using in 7.10 and 8.04 for a while
[03:10] <shadowblade> John_S: nope, its not there after adding that line
[03:10] <saxofoner> Bricker: did you hook it up with nvidia-settings?
[03:10] <bazhang> ChoboMog: have you apt-cache search amarok for any plugins?
[03:10] <DefineKThyne> bazhang: http://s2.bgweiz.at/sebastian.rode/Neuer%20Ordner/Sound/Enter%20The%20Matrix.wmv
[03:10] <david__--> bazhang:totally new to linux,so no i havent...and havent gotten time to learn it because of fixing the wireless problemsoper yet be
[03:10] <garry> sourgrape: you're not the only one ^_^  it looks like WoW isn't opening up anymore
[03:10] <John_S> shadowblade: OK, I think you need to reboot then.
[03:10] <shadowblade> John_S: ok...
[03:10] <garry> sourgrape: however, my .wine folder is still kickin around,  is it ok to simply delete it?
[03:10] <SirBob1701> astro76: yup thanks
[03:11] <o0Chris0o> I miss playing WoW, but when i play that...I have no life :(
[03:11] <sourgrape> garry - yep, you can kill it safely
[03:11] <nowimproved> yup that worked i had to go into console unmount the drive
[03:11] <nowimproved> then remount it
[03:11] <garry> sourgrape: ok, great.  So now, theoretically... I should be able to reinstall wine and it would have default settings?
[03:11] <nowimproved> ridiculous
[03:11] <sourgrape> garry - in theory, yeppers
[03:12] <Shpoo2> o0Chris0o: Linux has saved my marriage due to not being able to play WoW.
[03:12] <Shpoo2> :-D
[03:12] <o0Chris0o> hehe
[03:12] <o0Chris0o> its a addicting
[03:12] <ChoboMog> bazhang:  What do you mean by apt-cache.  Sorry, I'm familliar with some things on Ubuntu, but Im still relatively new.
[03:12] <bazhang> DefineKThyne: that is a drm'd wmv--some MS products likely could not play it
[03:12] <foxhop> Shpooked: I doubt it.
[03:12] <shadowblade> John_S: still not in the network manager
[03:12] <HorizonXP> hey, I'm having trouble running Guild Wars. I can't type into the account info box, it seems to pass through to the Ubuntu desktop. Any ideas?
[03:13] <Shpooked> foxhop: Doubt what?
[03:13] <ChoboMog> bazhang:  Also, if it makes any difference, Audacious (another audio polayer for Linux) plays stereo mp3's etc in surround no problem
[03:13] <bazhang> ChoboMog: if you open a terminal you can type apt-cache search keyword (mp3 for example) and then get a list of everything related to that
[03:13] <DefineKThyne> bazhang: i was still playing wmvs last night though, the only thing i did that might've messed it up was uninstall the totem plugin and reinstall it.
[03:13] <eubey> how do i block all wine applications from accessing the internet?
[03:13] <slowlearner> hi i'm having this "undefined reference to `uuid_generate_time'" when compiling eventhough uuid-dev is installed.. anyone knows why?
[03:13] <John_S> shadowblade: You sure "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" is in your /etc/network/interfaces file?
[03:14] <Shpooked> Oh thanks, that reminds, my last question for the night: Is there a program that will allow you to edit wmv meta-tags?
[03:14] <bazhang> DefineKThyne: aye, some wmv's will play-->that link gave no file at this url error
[03:14] <shadowblade> John_S: yes, I put it right at the beginning with 3 blank lines after it
[03:14] <DefineKThyne> bazhang:  alrighty then, i'll look around at some other stuff and see what i can dig up, you look like you've got your hands full here. thanks anyway
[03:15] <phoenix180> under 7.10,  I'm on the Prepare disk space part of the installation: now instead of the two options(guided-use entire disk and manual), I now have three: guided-resize SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sda) and used free space and underneath it says: New partition size:  __________51%(76.0GB)__________  now-do I continue using this method and what exactly does this all mean? does this mean that I am choosing(default) to use 51%
[03:15] <bazhang> ChoboMog: perhaps in the short term stick with audactious (or whatever is best) til someone comes up with a way to do it otherwise
[03:15] <shadowblade> John_S: All that shows up in the network manager is Wired Connection and Point to point connection (my laptop has a dial up modem)
[03:17] <firedice> so is this were all noobs come for help?
[03:17] <slackd00d> and the oldbs
[03:17] <ethan961> firedice: somewhat, just don't call them noons or you well get called banned
[03:17] <ChoboMog> bazhang:  Ok that's cool.  I guess it isn't urgent as long as most things work fine ^_^  I'll keep trying anything which comes to mind and post a solution on the forums if I find one
[03:17] <leprasmurf> hey all, how can I downgrade to myth-frontend from Hardy.  I'm using knoppmyth as a backend and it's version .20 (incompatible with .21 that's installed with hardy)

[03:18] <wisedude> Can someone walk me through setting up a static IP on my computer within my network?  I keep having problems trying - resulting in Ubuntu not identifying any networks
[03:18] <dmsuperman> How do I determine which sound device I'm currently using? I'm trying to get VMWare to have sound, but it defaults to "/dev/dsp" and then says it can't connect to it, so I want to see if perhaps that's not my actual device
[03:18] <firedice> I consier my self a noob...1 week old
[03:18] <John_S> shadowblade: OK, I'm sorry because I don't think I can help you any more with your Broadcom chip card. I installed my card a bit differently with ndiswrapper than the way you probably will have to (if you end up taking that route), because you have to also disable the restricted BCM drivers. So if that link you sent me about doing that for your card didn't work, your best bet may be to post...
[03:18] <John_S> ...at ubuntuforums.org with all your details. Or maybe someone else here can help. Good luck though. :)
[03:18] <izak> Anyone got any advice on getting video drivers installed/working? Geforce 6800, had trouble in Gutsy but got it working with Envy, upgraded to Hardy, tried the new Envy, but no dice - low graphics mode every time
[03:18] <douglas> Hi there
[03:18] <douglas> I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed

[03:19] <douglas> I use ipw3945 wireless drivers on Debian etc, what do I need?
[03:19] <douglas> for ubuntu
[03:19] <John_S> shadowblade: No problem. :)
 how do i block all wine applications from accessing the internet?
[03:19] <Judeglass> i am curious as well, is there an app to block outgoing connections by application
[03:20] <Mattevt> I'm back to try again: What can I do about hardy keeping dual monitor settings, even when I'm unplugged from the second monitor?
[03:20] <John_S> wisedude: You can't do it from System > Admin > Network?
[03:20] <Judeglass> similar to little snitch in OS X
[03:20] <rokumanxes> Hello, everyone.  I need some help, if anyone can.  My network connection isn't working properly.
[03:20] <rokumanxes> Rather, the icon doesn't do what it did...  1 left-click brings up connection properties.
[03:20] <seancron> Mattevt: if you can figure how to switch between the two you could write a script
[03:21] <wisedude> John --> I'm still having trouble
[03:21] <wisedude> It won't connect to any networks afterwards
[03:21] <Mattevt> is this a common problem?
[03:21] <dmsuperman> How do I determine which sound device I'm currently using? I'm trying to get VMWare to have sound, but it defaults to "/dev/dsp" and then says it can't connect to it, so I want to see if perhaps that's not my actual device
[03:21] <wisedude> I registered on freenode - will I be able to PM people now?  (So I could ask you in PM)
[03:21] <John_S> wisedude: OK, I better let someone else handle it. :)
[03:21] <red22> i want to try alternative menubars/launchers but i don't want to lose my settings for my current gnome panel layout... the only way to remove it is to "delete this panel".. can't i just temporarily take it off and then restore it? or back it up?
[03:21] <wisedude> kk
[03:21] <wisedude> Fair enough
[03:22] <wisedude> Thanks for trying though John, I greatly appreciate the attention
[03:22] <wisedude> :)
[03:22] <dmsuperman> red22: Just move your current one off the to side for now?
[03:22] <rainwalker> umm...why does rhytmbox open instead of sound juicer when I put in a CD?
[03:22] <douglas> Hello
[03:23] <douglas> I need to get wireless to work on my Ubuntu 8.04
[03:23] <dmsuperman> rainwalker, System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications
[03:23] <douglas> ipw3945
[03:23] <douglas> Is there any way to do it via apt?
[03:23] <sourgrape> rainwalker - go to administration / preferred applications and set it yet?
[03:23] <searcher135> i installed ubuntu hardy from wubi and it froze earlier and i had to do a hard reboot. when i restarted, it went to a busybox screen and when i restarted in recovery, it said root.disk was not found. i believe it is corrupt because root.disk is still listed in my vista file system. is there anyway i can repair the root.disk file without having to reinstall ubuntu and losing my settings?
[03:23] <arooni> what is my gateway address for:  eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1B:FC:BD:E9:68
[03:23] <arooni>           inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS>  Mask:<IP_ADDRESS>
[03:23] <rokumanxes> Any help with my Connection?
[03:23] <red22> dmsuperman: i'm trying to back it up completely... i want to get rid of it bc when you move to side or "hide" it, it still shows a little lip that is annoying.  i want to try the new dock for a week or so at least to give it a try.
[03:23] <rokumanxes> wlan0 is not working...
[03:23] <n2diy> rainwalker: menu > system > prefrences > preferred apps?
[03:23] <sourgrape> arooni - just a guess, probably <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:24] <Mattevt> so there's nothing I can do about switching between single and dual monitors.
[03:24] <Sonja> the new FireFox crashes a lot in Hardy Heron, especially on pages with Flash :(
[03:24] <saaron> can anyone tell me how to change a drives label? i've installed hardy and my drive has changed from hda1 to disk in /media/ which of course broke all of my image links
[03:24] <dmsuperman> How do I determine which sound device I'm currently using? I'm trying to get VMWare to have sound, but it defaults to "/dev/dsp" and then says it can't connect to it, so I want to see if perhaps that's not my actual device
[03:24] <sourgrape> sonja - i had issues using gnash, i'm ok with flash
[03:24] <Mattevt> Sonja: that's why I downgraded to ff2
[03:24] <rainwalker> sourgrape: I looked there, it's different than it used to be; there's no option asking me what to do when a removable disk or cd is inserted
[03:24] <alphakamp_> sonja: its beta (firefox) that is
[03:24] <douglas> Anyone?
[03:24] <n2diy> My flash card reader stopped responding, how can I restart it?
[03:24] <smee> hello
[03:25] <rokumanxes> In the Connection Properties, if I click configure, it doesn't work properly.
[03:25] <sourgrape> rainwalker - you're right, I remember seeing those optiosn somewhere
[03:25] <searcher135> i installed ubuntu hardy from wubi and it froze earlier and i had to do a hard reboot. when i restarted, it went to a busybox screen and when i restarted in recovery, it said root.disk was not found. i believe it is corrupt because root.disk is still listed in my vista file system. is there anyway i can repair the root.disk file without having to reinstall ubuntu and losing my settings?

[03:28] <cyris||> anyone around using ddns behind a PAT router? ez-ipupdate listens and updates on eth0 but then updates my ddns host with my private IP.
[03:28] <xim> totally!
[03:28] <nsx> then configure your ddns client to work with nat.  or get one that supports nat.
[03:29] <searcher135> can someone please help? root.disk is corrupt. can i repair it?
[03:29] <nsx> you're better off doing ddns updates from the router itself, though, as it knows immediately when its WAN ip changes.
[03:29] <egc> test
[03:29] <AndrewBuck> is there a way to disable the loading of modules on running from the live cd?

[03:31] <douglas> Any ideas hwo to do it? :(
[03:31] <douglas> im desperate
[03:31] <sourgrape> arooni - are you on a windows machine now?
[03:32] <rokumanxes> Hello?
[03:32] <rainwalker> sourgrape: apparently it's under System > Preferences > File management now (in Hardy)
[03:32] <searcher135> root.disk is still corrupt. how to repair?
[03:32] <xim> why does the %cpu values in top not add up to 100%?
[03:32] <xim> it adds up to more
[03:32] <sourgrape> rainwalker - thank you!  I was going nuts looking for that
[03:32] <AndrewBuck> xim: you probably have a dual core
[03:32] <maco> xim: do you have a dual core?
[03:32] <xim> ah yep
[03:32] <maco> thatd total to 200%
[03:32] <AndrewBuck> xim: so 200% is full usage
[03:32] <rokumanxes> I can't configure my network settings!
[03:32] <rainwalker> sourgrape: same here...that really makes no sense, even if nautilus handles mounting now
[03:32] <rokumanxes> Please help.
[03:33] <xim> well then why are their two python processes using 80% and 47% isnt that a little crazy?
[03:33] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: are you using dhcp or static ip
[03:33] <AndrewBuck> xim: depends what their doing.
[03:33] <rokumanxes> Um... I believe static.
[03:33] <searcher135> root.disk is still corrupt. how can i repair?
[03:33] <xim> any way to see what each is doing?
[03:33] <AndrewBuck> xim: i think python is interpreted so it might tak\e a lot of cpu to do some things but i know very little about it
[03:34] <xim> ah ok
[03:34] <rokumanxes> I had wifi working last night, but... now I can only connect through the ethernet port.
[03:34] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: was it the gateway address you were asking about
[03:34] <searcher135> somebody.....help. bad root.disk. repair options?
[03:35] <AndrewBuck> searcher135: "man fsck"
[03:35] <maco> xim: if you look at the left column, it tells you the process ID.  you can run: ps -ef | grep <the process id you see on the left>
[03:35] <bazhang> searcher135: what do you mean; please clarify
[03:35] <rokumanxes> No...
[03:35] <sourgrape> Searcher - no idea here... I haven't even touched Wubi
[03:35] <maco> xim: thatll tell you what the whole process is that's running so maybe itll say "python <app name>" and youll know what python app is doing it
[03:35] <rokumanxes> Um, when I click the two monitors once, it automatically brings up Connection Properties.
[03:36] <searcher135> my root.disk file appears to be corrupt. i am transferred to busybox but it exists in vista file system
[03:36] <rokumanxes> AndrewBuck:  Here, this explains more.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=775132
[03:36] <xim> ok thanks maco
[03:36] <bazhang> searcher135: you mean / ?
[03:36] <searcher135> yes
[03:37] <Aristocles> hi all!
[03:37] <sourgrape> I guess wubi creates someting like a virtual partition on an NTFS partition? I guess I should learn more about it
[03:37] <bazhang> searcher135: try checking the fs
[03:37] <sourgrape> Evenin, Aristocles
[03:37] <Sonja> Mattevt and alphakamp_ how do i downgrade to ff2 step by step... OR when will ff3 stop crashing?
[03:37] <compaqr4000> Hey everyone.....
[03:37] <searcher135> ok. thanks. ill be back. i need to switch computers
[03:37] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: has it worked on wifi in the past?
[03:37] <Aristocles> could someone help me with my laptop?    Well, it's screwy.
[03:38] <d33d> What is Ubuntu Open Week?
[03:38] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: then im not sure i can really help you, i misunderstood your original qeustion and thought i might be able to.  I don't know much about wifi.
[03:38] <sourgrape> aristocles - if you go to a prompt and type sudo reboot does it hang somewhere?
[03:38] <bazhang> d33d: when people get together to exchange ideas iirc
[03:38] <alphakamp_> sonja: Hopefully the final version of ff3 will be out soon.
[03:39] <rokumanxes> well, I don't really need help with wifi, but I do need help with just getting to change the settings properly.
[03:39] <d33d> bazhang, how do i participate
[03:39] <zcat[1]> is there a reason why /etc/hosts has "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost / <IP_ADDRESS> hostname" rather than just "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost hostname" ?
[03:39] <Sonja> alphakamp_ so in a few days, that Flash-crash bug will be fixed?
[03:39] <Aristocles> nope.  it will actually shut down, but when it boots back up it hangs right after the toshiba screen.  Sometimes stops there sometimes boots to a prompt...won't do anything
[03:39] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: you could try "sudo ifconfig" on the terminal and see if that gives you any info.
[03:39] <bazhang> d33d: you know when it starts?
[03:40] <d33d> bazhang, apparently its already going on?
[03:40] <anoble> hello can some one help me i cant setup resolution bigger then 800x680
[03:40] <bazhang> d33d: you got a link?
[03:40] <alphakamp_> sonja: wouldnt say a few days because I have no idea... Am looking for a nice how to
[03:40] <sourgrape> Aristocles - guess it never did that with Winders on it?
[03:40] <anoble> 800x600*
[03:40] <d33d> bazhang, no, i might get one, checking my loco group
[03:40] <Aristocles> nope.
[03:41] <Aristocles> Vista is a problem all its own lol
[03:41] <rokumanxes> If I click the two monitors once, it brings up the connection properties instead of the little dropdown that says "wired connection" "wireless" and all that....
[03:41] <anoble> can someone help me, i cant get my resolution bigger then 800x600
[03:41] <tuxus> Hi folks - My kids' been bugging me. He can't go to this site (http://www.maidmarian.com/Sherwood.htm) and play it; more plugins are required. I have the latest adobe flashplayer installed. Any clues?

[03:42] <bazhang> thanks d33d
[03:42] <anoble> can someone help me, i cant get my resolution bigger then 800x600
[03:42] <krim> I just updated to Hardy and text in the terminal looks kind of fuzzy, anyone experienced the same and/or knows what to do about it? Elsewhere the text looks fine.
[03:42] <d33d> bazhang, join #ubuntu-classroom
[03:42] <sourgrape> Aristocles - besides trying to upgrade the bios (which can be risky in and of itself on a Toshiba) I don't know
[03:42] <tuxus> anoble: need more info: what's your hardware, etc
[03:42] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: i don't know anything about the gui config stuff.  i can't get my ubuntu running from the disk, i am running debian right now.  "sudo ifconfig" should list the properties of all the connections though, it might shed some light on the problem
[03:42] <Aristocles> anoble, have you tried going to system->preferences->screen resolution?
[03:42] <bazhang> d33d: I was about to suggest the same to you ;]
[03:42] <anoble> tuxus: yes i have
[03:42] <jrib> !shockwave > tuxus (read the private message from ubotu)

[03:43] <rokumanxes> I typed that, but... all that came up, I have no idea what it all means...
[03:43] <douglas> im having a new ubuntu issue
[03:43] <douglas> http://rafb.net/p/oetppA64.html
[03:43] <patifa> tuxus: Shockwave
[03:43] <douglas> Its a compilation issue
[03:43] <bazhang> anoble: this is gutsy or hardy
[03:43] <FloodBot1> douglas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:43] <douglas> Can anyone take a quick look?
[03:43] <leprasmurf> how can I downgrade mythtv-frontend if there is no "force version" option in synaptic?
[03:43] <Aristocles> thanks sourgrape.  I did upgrade the bios when it had windows.  I appreciate your thoughts anyway :)
[03:43] <tuxus> jrib: re flash - you lost me... which private message
[03:43] <anoble> bazhang: 8.04
[03:43] <jrib> tuxus: you should have received a private message from ubottu
[03:43] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: does it have asection for eth0 as well as wlan0?
[03:43] <patifa> !shockwave > patifa
[03:43] <bazhang> !info envyng-gtk | anoble this might help you out
[03:43] <rokumanxes> Yeah.
[03:44] <bazhang> !info envyng-gtk hardy | anoble see this
[03:44] <sourgrape> Aristocle - is the keyboard responsive? (numlock will light up, etc?) or is the hard drive light pegged?
[03:44] <bazhang> anoble envyng-gtk for hardy will help you install the proper drivers
[03:44] <Aristocles> i don't think either.  lemme look...
[03:45] <DG19075> anoble: you can also go to the configuration editor,  and check off Screens and Graphics under Other. Then you can select your driver and monitor
[03:45] <HorizonXP> can someone help me with Guild Wars on Wine in Hardy?
[03:45] <anoble> bazhang: sudo apt-get envyng-gtk ?
[03:45] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: are you still there?
[03:45] <rokumanxes> Yes.
[03:45] <HorizonXP> I'm trying to reset my account password, and it hangs at the Connecting screen
[03:45] <anoble> bazhang: install*
[03:45] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install anoble
[03:45] <sourgrape> heh, for shockwave, I just installed IE and WINE
[03:45] <sourgrape> well, crossover anyways
[03:46] <patifa2> Wouldn't Firefox for windows + shockwave work just as well under wine than dangerous IE?
[03:46] <jrib> tuxus: you need shockwave, not flash
[03:46] <jrib> patifa2: sure
[03:46] <sourgrape> I'm not too worried about what IE on WINE will do - but yea
[03:46] <SitUbuntuSit> I have safari with flash and shockwave
[03:47] <sourgrape> for me it just solved a couple of problems - work sites coded specifically to IE, etc
[03:47] <student> ?
[03:47] <anoble> bazhang: yes i did that what now?
[03:47] <leprasmurf> how can I downgrade mythtv-frontend to the .20 version if there is no "force version" option in synaptic?
[03:47] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: is there a section for wlan0 in the ifconfig output?
[03:47] <joshvittetoe> if anybody can help me, i have some installation questions. im getting some errors, pm me. thanks
[03:47] <rokumanxes> Yeah.
[03:47] <bazhang> anoble: launch it
[03:47] <tuxus> ubottu: thx, got it. see if I can get that to work
[03:47]  * patifa2 pokes patifa.
[03:47] <jrib> leprasmurf: does apt-cache policy list the version you want?
[03:47] <rokumanxes> AndrewBuck:  Yeah, there is.
[03:47] <matthias> Hi why does not wireless work when SSID is invisible ???
[03:47] <jrib> tuxus: ubottu is a bot
[03:47] <leprasmurf> jrib: what would I type to find that?  "apt-cache search mythtv-frontend"?
[03:47] <Alives> is there an official gutsy-hardy upgrade guide?
[03:47] <jrib> leprasmurf: apt-cache policy PACKAGE
[03:47] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: is it configued with an ip address, inet_addr is i think what it says
[03:48] <kdorf> anybody gotten pulse to work in ZSNES?
[03:48] <jrib> !upgrade > Alives (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:48] <Alives> thanks!!
[03:48] <wnoiseII> hello people.  have an odd issue with rdesktop, where it will connect to some XP Pro machines, and hang on others on a black screen, with a recurrent error of EAGAIN in strace.  Anyone experienced this?
[03:48] <SitUbuntuSit> kdorf, sadly, not me
[03:48] <rokumanxes> SNES9X is better than zsnes.
[03:48] <jrib> Alives: direct link in the /topic as well
[03:48] <anoble> buzhang: also on the other computer Screenlets doesnt want to launch any widgets
[03:48] <hvgotcodes> is it safe to upgrade to HH?
[03:48] <BillRoth> has there been any trouble with 8.04. Is it work the upgrade?
[03:48] <Aristocles> sourgrape, keyboard flashes on power up, then...nothing.  it's like bios can't finish init, or something.
[03:48] <leprasmurf> jrib: no, just the .21 version
[03:48] <wnoiseII> hvgotcodes: upgrade from GG went without a hitch for me.
[03:49] <rokumanxes> AndrewBuck:  No there isn't one...
[03:49] <itrebal> hvgotcodes: from what I'm seeing, you should give it a few weeks
[03:49] <leprasmurf> jrib: could it be a different repository maybe....?
[03:49] <itrebal> hvgotcodes: 50% of upgrades (~10) have failed
[03:49]  * anoble is restarting
[03:49] <patifa2> BillRoth: Careful with restricted drivers (as usual) and with SATA
[03:49] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: try "ifup wlan0"
[03:49] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: you'll have to sudo that
[03:49] <BillRoth> patifa2: thanks. Looks like I should wait.
[03:49] <xim> is it normal for compiz.real to take 90% of the 2.4ghz cpu if all im running is the cube
[03:49] <`MrMoo-> can anyone help me install drivers for a wireless network card?
[03:49] <sourgrape> aristocles - if you feel comfortable doing it, I'd try booting with the noapic and/or apic = off in your grub config
[03:50] <AndrewBuck> xim: your 3d acceleration probably isn't working
[03:50] <jrib> leprasmurf: maybe, but this is probably not the right way to fix whatever the problem  is
[03:50] <sourgrape> xim - try running glxgears
[03:50] <xim> andrewbuck, im using the nvidia restricted drivers, know how to remedy that
[03:50] <hvgotcodes> itrebal: is that because of server overload or is that because of bugs
[03:50] <Aristocles> sourgrape, i'll give that a go...which one?  noapic or apic=off?
[03:50] <AndrewBuck> xim: no, i am an amd owner, know nothing about nvidia
[03:51] <wnoiseII> xim: have you got more than one monitor?
[03:51] <patifa2> BillRoth: Though the SATA issues shouldn't be a problem if you can successfully run the standard liveCD installer.
[03:51] <itrebal> hvgotcodes: issues installing, not server problems
[03:51] <sourgrape> Aristocles - in my experience, noapic has solved 90% of my problems.  If that doesn't work, try apic=off
[03:51] <Ademan> hey is ubotu dead?
[03:51] <maco> hvgotcodes: server overload mostly...people's upgrades are failing halfway through because they cant finish downloading everything
[03:51] <patifa2> jeez how long is the timeout in freenode?
[03:51] <Sonja> thanks alphakamp_
[03:51] <jrib> Ademan: no, he's on vacation
[03:51] <maco> heh
[03:51] <leprasmurf> jrib: what would you consider the correct resolution?  I'm using knoppmyth backend/frontend and ubuntu for a front-end, because ubuntu has included the .21 version and deprecated the .20 version it's now incompatible with knoppmyth or any distro that uses the .20 version still
[03:51] <maco> hvgotcodes: ok, both
[03:51] <rokumanxes> AndrewBuck:  Um it said "Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0"
[03:51] <xim> glx gears is working, no im not using two monitors at the moment, and im on amd64
[03:51] <Aristocles> sourgrape, k.  let's see what happens...
[03:51] <BillRoth> patifa2: thanks.
[03:51] <sourgrape> xim - what FPS is it spitting out in the terminal window?
[03:51] <jrib> leprasmurf: I don't use mythtv, so I don't really know
[03:51] <alphakamp_> Sonja: NP
[03:52] <Ademan> jrib: what was the 'factoid' site again?
[03:52] <xim> sourgrape 900ish
[03:52] <hvgotcodes> ok thanx
[03:52] <maco> hvgotcodes: there's also the fact that a lot of us helpers dont really know our way around hardy as well as we know gutsy at the moment because hardy does quite a few things quite a bit differently
[03:52] <leprasmurf> jrib: well thanks anyway, think I'll manually build mythtv until knoppmyth catches up
[03:52] <xim> which sounds impossible
[03:52] <jrib> Ademan: not available at the moment
[03:52] <sourgrape> xim - you should be getting WAY more than that, looks like (gulp) your 3d isn't working
[03:52] <wigglez> is the ssh server installed by default?
[03:52] <matthias> nobody have tried with ssid invisible ???
[03:52] <Ademan> jrib: you're kidding... :-/
[03:52] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: the network interface config file needs to have an entry for wlan0 then, im not sure where ubuntu keeps that file.  on debian its /etc/network/interfaces
[03:52] <anoble> buzhang: yeah that killed the whole thing
[03:52] <Ademan> jrib: well thanks for the info
[03:52] <xim> sourgrape, way more than 900 fps???
[03:52] <Randomizer> Hi, I'm trying to understand my options of setting up compiz, I've looked at the forums, can't find a good explanation of what is available and what are the limitations of various approaches. I have ati card (X300), non-proprietary drivers and dual-monitors (eveyrthing but compiz is currently configured and working). Thanks for your help.
[03:52] <sourgrape> xim - yea, just in that little window... not your whole screen =)
[03:53] <xim> ah ok
[03:53] <sourgrape> xim - on my piece of crap, non-3d laptop I get 800 or so fps....
[03:53] <anoble> buzhang: ive got large black and white stripes across everything
[03:53] <maco> sourgrape: you cant get technically over what your refresh rate is....
[03:53] <sourgrape> Not sure what glxgears uses as its measuring stick
[03:54] <shthap3ns> can anyone recommend a good partition scheme for RAID1 if i have 2x500gb hard drives?
[03:54] <Jordan_U> sourgrape, glxgears is NOT a benchmark :)
[03:54] <sourgrape> I just know that my nvidia system gets 10k+ in glxgears, and my laptop gets sub-1000
[03:54] <wigglez> default ssh port is 22 right?
[03:54] <rokumanxes> AndrewBuck:  So, how do I find that, and fix it?
[03:54] <anoble> tuxuc: can you help me
[03:54] <anoble> wiggles: yeah i think so
[03:54] <maco> sourgrape, xim: im getting 926-938 fps on glxgears and my 3D is working just fine, thank you very much
[03:54] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
[03:54] <sourgrape> 22, sir.
[03:54] <patifa> wigglez: yes
[03:54] <crdlb> sourgrape: the number glxgears gives you is meaningless
[03:54] <wigglez> k
[03:54] <sourgrape> *Shrug* might be, but they're different for me.  First time I've heard they're meaningless
[03:55] <xim> hmm ok, to be honest compiz does seem to be running real poorly tho, i had to get rid of my fishtank and gears
[03:55] <Scunizi> sourgrape: they are just a referance point for YOUR system
[03:55] <crdlb> the only way to check for 3d acceleration is: glxinfo | grep direct
[03:55] <krim_> I've just updated to Hardy and when I clicked the clock the panels stopped responding so I did ctrl+alt+backspace and when x restarted the panels were gone. How do I get them back?
[03:55] <Firedice> sour grapes> mind if i ask you another question about virtual box?
[03:55] <sourgrape> Firedice, fire away
[03:55] <musikgoat> krim_: sudo killall gnome-panel
[03:55] <Firedice> i am getting this error
[03:56] <anoble> can someone help it seems that the driver that is installed isnt what they system is supposed to be using?
[03:56] <rokumanxes> AndrewBuck:  Okay, so it brought something up...  What... do I do?  Sorry, total noob.
[03:56] <maco> krim_: can you hit alt+f2 to get a runbox and type "gnome-panel" in it?
[03:56] <Firedice> The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect..
[03:56] <Firedice> VBox status code: -1909 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE).
[03:56] <`MrMoo-> can anyone help me install wireless lan drivers? ubuntu doesnt seem to recognize the device as wlan0 doesnt show when i iwconfig
[03:56] <sourgrape> Easy
[03:56] <musikgoat> krim_: does it come back?
[03:56] <sourgrape> Firedice - go to user manager and click groups
[03:56] <sourgrape> firedice - then find the virtualbox gropu and add yourself to it, log off and back on.
[03:56] <anoble> sudo poweroff
[03:56] <Dh08> can someone please help me with home networking?
[03:56] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: thats ok, you need to add a section for wlan0 you should already have one for eth0, is it using dhcp?
[03:56] <anoble> wapz
[03:56] <matthias> anyone have got an lexmakr all in one to work on hardy ???
[03:56] <xim> hmm glxinfo |grep direct says direct rendering is running
[03:56] <Jsn0327> does anyone know if there is a resolution for the root access problem with kbuntu 8.04?
[03:57] <Jordan_U> `MrMoo-, Sometimes wireless interfaces can be 'eth1' or something entirely different like 'ath0' ( for atheros cards )
[03:57] <AcidRain> hey
[03:57] <Dh08> i am trying to set a home network with y 2nd pc (running win xp)
[03:57] <matthias> anyone have got an lexmark all in one printer to work on hardy ?
[03:57] <Knight488> Is there a way to underclock my AMD laptop? It keeps over heating when I'm doing something intensive and crashing on me.
[03:57] <AcidRain> mr moo does it even recognize your card?
[03:57] <rokumanxes> AndrewBuck:  How do I find that out?
[03:57] <krim_> musikgoat: Didn't work.
[03:57] <h00k> Knight488: I'd get your fan looked at - that's dangerous
[03:57] <krim_> maco: the runbox didn't appear
[03:57] <pipegeek> Hmm.  Anyone else having problems with pulseaudio suddenly not responding?
[03:58] <h00k> Knight488: on your processor, your heat-pipe may be cracked also
[03:58] <pipegeek> Seems to have come along with dapper
[03:58] <`MrMoo-> jordan - i see  i see.  wireless networking doesnt show in my networks window though
[03:58] <pipegeek> I wasn't using a sound daemon before
[03:58] <pipegeek> but now, all of a sudden---no sound!
[03:58] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: is there a line something like "iface eth0 inet dhcp"
[03:58] <eric84> hello all
[03:58] <musikgoat> krim_: ps -aux | grep "gnome-panel"
[03:58] <Dh08> how do i set a home network between my laptop (ubuntu herdy) and my pc (win xp)??
[03:58] <Knight488> hook: in windows theres software that manages my CPU speed to keep the heat down, but in hardy it's just blowing full speed all the time and it's heating up too bad. Theres no software I can get to monitor/tweak t his?
[03:58] <patifa> Knight488: Maybe.  Try to CPU Clock Frequency Scaleing applet.
[03:58] <sourgrape> knight - at the very least while you're checking it, you can blow all the dust off the heat sinks - will probably help
[03:58] <musikgoat> anything?
[03:59] <szx0> When using "apt-get" how can I list that possible configuration options for pacakges that I want to install?
[03:59] <patifa> What was the software in windows, Knight488?
[03:59] <fluidd> Anyone here know how to auto-start a script in amarok? is there some kind of syntax?
[03:59] <anoble> can someone help me, i think my video driver courrupts when installing, and right now i cant do anything
[03:59] <szx0> When using "apt-get" how can I list the possible configuration options for pacakges that I want to install?
[03:59] <mstef> is there a problem with 8.04 and core2duo? htop is only showing 1 CPU now??
[03:59] <Knight488> patifa think it's called "Power Now!"
[04:00] <anoble> mstef: no it showed 2 on my Core2Duo
[04:00] <patifa> yeah
[04:00] <krim_> musikgoat: Nothing happened, just a new line
[04:00] <patifa> get the Clock Frequency Scaling applet out, Knight488
[04:00] <musikgoat> ok, in the command line, type gnome-panel
[04:00] <rokumanxes> AndrewBuck:  No...
[04:00] <eric84> during my upgrade to 8.04 my machine locked up; i rebooted and when i login i get a blank desktop background, nothing else... any ideas what i should try next?
[04:00] <h00k> Knight488: I would seriously recommend getting your processor heat-pipe, heat-sink, fan checked out and not resort to "underclocking" it
[04:00] <sourgrape> ah jeez, that bug is back?  do a uname -a
[04:00] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: does it have an eth0 entry at all
[04:00] <rokumanxes> The ifconfig, did yeah.
[04:01] <mstef> anoble, any idea why all of a sudden only one would show up on my system after upgrading?
[04:01] <danbhfive> eric84: can you get to a command prompt?
[04:01] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: i mean in /etc/network/interfaces
[04:01] <krim_> musikgoat: "cannot open display"
[04:01] <shthap3ns> ) has joined #ubuntu
[04:01] <shthap3ns> [19:56] <xim> hmm glxinfo |grep direct says direct rendering
[04:01] <eric84> danbhfive: i can if i boot in recovery mode
[04:01] <sourgrape> mstef - check what kernel you have - I don't know if this would lbe the case for you, but in the past it installed the wrong kernel for me
[04:01] <patifa> h00k: The dynamic underclocking is quite nice, though.  It helps to prolong battery life, for example.
[04:01] <dn4> I believe someone is DOS'in me how do I find out?
[04:01] <sourgrape> mstef - type uname -a
[04:01] <Dh08> how do i set a home network between my laptop (ubuntu herdy) and my pc (win xp)??
[04:01] <shthap3ns> can anyone recommend a good partition scheme for RAID1 with 2x500gb hard drives?
[04:01] <Knight488> patifa strange, says 800mhz, 44%...
[04:01] <rokumanxes> AndrewBuck:  No.  It doesn't say much.  at all.
[04:01] <anoble> mstef: im not sure, we installed 8.04 on 3 computers 2 running Vista, and one running GG. All Dual Booting, try Screenlets
[04:01] <danbhfive> eric84: do you have net access?
[04:01] <musikgoat> krim_: you may be having this problem,  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204775    if you reboot, and get the updated package in "backports", that should fix it
[04:02] <Firedice> Sourgrapes> I goto system>administration>useres and group> with the user settings up I see my name and the root name everything else is greyed out....when i go into manage group i do see my name and vboxusers but it is also greyed out
[04:02] <anoble> mstef: and sysmonitor and see if it shows 2
[04:02] <Scunizi> I haven't done the upgrade yet.. I've been waiting for the repo traffic to settle down some. What is the general consensus about upgrading via synaptic? Good results? Bad results? faster system at the end?
[04:02] <h00k> patifa: I agree - however a processor should be able to run without overheating
[04:02] <mortuis99> hey all i just upgraded to HH and when i try and play my videos they are jumpy .  they were OK with GG
[04:02] <mortuis99> can someone help
[04:02] <rokumanxes> "auto lo" "iface lo inet loopbacck"
[04:02] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: what does it have for eth0, it must have something or you wouldn't be on the net right now
[04:02] <livingtm> Should I be able to get an extended desktop across two monitors with an intel chipset?
[04:02] <patifa> Knight488: It's doing it's job then to underclock your laptop.
[04:02] <musikgoat> krim_: the problem is with evolution-data-server that is currently in hardy
[04:02] <YouKnowMe> Is there anyway I can run FF 2.0 instead of the beta, until my fav extensions become compatible? nightly tester doesn't work because I can't install them in the first place..
[04:02] <sourgrape> firedice - unlock button
[04:02] <maco> mstef: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cpu cores"
[04:02] <eric84> danbhfive: yes i do
[04:02] <Knight488> patifa when I do anything it goes up to 1.8, just nothing throttles it down I guess, crap
[04:02] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: is that the whole file?
[04:02] <Jordan_U> YouKnowMe, sudo apt-get install firefox-2
[04:02] <sourgrape> firedice - forgot that's how they do it now
[04:02] <rokumanxes> Yeah.
[04:02] <mstef> maco, no output
[04:03] <patifa> yeah that's how it works Knight488.  When you do stuff it ramps up to take care of it, then as your system idles it scales things back down.
[04:03] <maco> YouKnowMe: you should be able to install them after you have nightly tester
[04:03] <anoble> can someone help me with, video driver problems, ive got a dxdiag up right now
[04:03] <mstef> maco, would it have anything to do with virtualbox by any chance?
[04:03] <krim_> musikgoat: I can't watch the link since I'm in console, but I'll try to restart x again and see if I can do that backports thing
[04:03] <danbhfive> eric84: well, I would try some of these commands myself: sudo apt-get install -f  &&  sudo apt-get upgrade   && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:03] <maco> mstef: are you running inside the virtual machine?
[04:03] <AndrewBuck> try adding      iface wlan0 inet dhcp     on a new line at the bottom and then save and exit the file
[04:03] <Scunizi> anoble: dxdiag is a windows program.. isn't it?
[04:03] <shthap3ns> anyone?
[04:03] <patifa> Knight488: Try clicking the scaler and forcing it to be a slower speed
[04:03] <anoble> Scunizi: yeah im dual booting
[04:03] <Jordan_U> YouKnowMe, You also don't need nightly tester tools any more, there is a simple about:config option ( can't remember it off the top of my head though )
[04:03] <mstef> maco, no but i have xp running in virtualbox now
[04:03] <h00k> Scunizi: it sure is
[04:04] <maco> mstef: then no, that shouldnt affect it
[04:04] <Scunizi> anoble:  so are you looking for windows help?
[04:04] <sourgrape> mstef - VB only "sees" on proc
[04:04] <h00k> Scunizi: DirectX diagnostic
[04:04] <anoble> Scunizi: nope
[04:04] <mstef> maco, so what do i do?
[04:04] <eric84> danbhfive: it says unable to resolve host
[04:04] <maco> mstef: i dont know
[04:04] <sourgrape> mstef - type uname -a and C&P it here
[04:04] <Knight488> patifa: theres no scaler, just shows output
[04:04] <anoble> Scunizi: the problem is in HH, and it wont seem to take my on board Video
[04:04] <danbhfive> eric84: thats a net problem, do you get the same message with sudo apt-get update?
[04:04] <sourgrape> mstef - in a terminal window, sorry
[04:04] <Scunizi> anoble: what kind of video is it?
[04:05] <mstef> sourgrape, Linux ubuntu-desktop 2.6.24-16-386 #1 Thu Apr 10 12:50:06 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[04:05] <eric84> danbhfive: yes i do.. i'm plugged directly into my router
[04:05] <cdubya> Just upgraded my system, but can't seem to find where to reassociate the default app handler for DVDs now......
[04:05] <Lapinux> anyone use genpower?  i just installed it and cant seem to find it
[04:05] <anoble> Scunizi: ive got a NVIDIA GeFroce2 Integrated GPU
[04:05] <sourgrape> mstef - you didn't get the SMP kernel, that looks like the uniproc kernel... I'm no expert though
[04:05] <patifa> Knight488: oh yeah, that's right.  The scaler control is shut off for security reasons, on the theory that someone with a malicious program could play games with the timing of the processor and use that to hack the kernel. :)
[04:05] <mortuis99> i just upped to HH and now all the videos that played OK in GG are jumpy.  can someone help?
[04:05] <cdubya> !preferred
[04:05] <Dh08> how do i set a home network between my laptop (ubuntu herdy) and my pc (win xp)??
[04:05] <Steve1> Not sure how to get my audio to work
[04:05] <cdubya> bah
[04:05] <Scunizi> anoble: that shouldn't be a problem.. Older card?
[04:06] <anoble> Scunizi: not to much older
[04:06] <danbhfive> eric84: how about if you run sudo su?
[04:06] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: were you able to add that line, etc?
[04:06] <mstef> sourgrape, suggestions?
[04:06] <anoble> Scunizi: but HH works with my older older card
[04:06] <eric84> danbhfive: same message
[04:06] <Dh08> how do i set a home network between my laptop (ubuntu herdy) and my pc (win xp)??
[04:06] <eric84> unable to resolve host Orin (my computer's name)
[04:06] <cdubya> how do I change the default media handler for DVDs to VLC on 8.04
[04:06] <krim> musikgoat: Well, I restarted x and panels magically appeared the second time. Thanks.
[04:06] <danbhfive> eric84: you got the sudo bug, unfortunately, I don't know how to fix that
[04:06] <astro76> !samba | Dh08
[04:06] <Knight488> patifa: theres no other software I could use?
[04:06] <rokumanxes> How do I save it?
[04:06] <Scunizi> anoble: weird.. not an expert on this one so I'm going to defer to someone else.. sorry
[04:06] <yuri_> if I want all windows to be borderless, what do i do?
[04:06] <Steve1> I need help getting my audio to work
[04:06] <anoble> Scunizi: do you know anyone that can help me?
[04:07] <h00k> yuri_: check out VirtualBox and it's "Seemless mode"
[04:07] <sourgrape> mstef - gimme a sec, I've had to do this myself before
[04:07] <Steve1> Anyone available to help?
[04:07] <musikgoat> krim: if you see the issue come back after the next reboot, its the same problem I had,  i identified the bug in beta, but it wasn't fixed till a few days ago
[04:07] <anoble> Scunizi: someone had me install something that installed a driver and killed the system just about its almost un usuable
[04:07] <Scunizi> anoble: just ask again. video is handled differently on HH than on GG or DD.
[04:07] <eric84> danbhfive: i've tried using the live cd to reinstall but i can't get it to boot, it just goes to my failed desktop... any suggestion to do a clean install?
[04:07] <curlyfro> I'm trying to update from 7.10 to 8.X using the update manager.  All seems to go well.  It downloads two files intended to guide me through the update, but then nothing happens.  I just get dumped back to the update-manage.  Any ideas about this?
[04:07] <Randomizer> eric84 - stab in the dark, does sudo -s' work?
[04:07] <Scunizi> anoble: did it work before that?
[04:07] <yuri_> h00k: i meant the window decoration, not the ms operating system
[04:07] <USN1520> howdy folks
[04:07] <musikgoat> krim: you'll find that evolution-data-server being updated fixes the problem
[04:07] <eric84> Randomizer: no
[04:07] <anoble> Scunizi: well yes it did just at 800x600
[04:07] <krim> Anyone still using Gutsy and can tell me what the default font is? I updated to Hardy and the text on some sites is kind of hard to read and ugly.
[04:08] <krim> musikgoat: Thanks for the tip
[04:08] <h00k> yuri_: :) okay
[04:08] <musikgoat> np
[04:08] <c0Ld> can I make VLC play videos in fullscreen but with transparency so that i can keep working while watching them?
[04:08] <anoble> Scunizi: and i want 1024x740
[04:08] <danbhfive> eric84: well, if its not booting the cd, I would assume that has to do with the wrong boot order, which you would need to change in the bios
[04:08] <eric84> danbhfive: i have my cd-rom as first in the order
[04:08] <Scunizi> anoble: you might have a backup of xorg.. if HH is using it.  look in /etc/X11 for xorg.conf and see if there is a backup there.. reinstate the backup
[04:08] <Steve1> Anyone able to help me get my audio working?
[04:09] <Steve1> I've got the driver CD if that's any help
[04:09] <danbhfive> eric84: and its not booting the cd?
[04:09] <anoble> Scunizi: can you lead me through it, ive got 2 computers, im on the one that HH is working ok w/
[04:09] <c0Ld> does ubuntu have some kind of maximum volume control? I have my volume set to 100% (including all of the secondary options as well) and it's still not nearly as loud as I can get it on other OSes :/
[04:09] <DShepherd> what's the 411 with the missing "Shared Folders" in the Admin Menu? is there another way to do it?
[04:09] <Scunizi> anoble: get to a terminal and type cd /etc/X11
[04:09] <firedice> sourgrapes> thankyou for your help...it looks like it is now loading windows xp
[04:09] <USN1520> Scunizi, can't you reset the pkg with dpkg
[04:09] <ferric84> why can't I delete an ext3 partition on my external hdd using gparted?
[04:09] <sourgrape> mstef - you've done the apt-get upgrade already right?  Just to make sure?
[04:09] <stik> umm alt-scroll will change the transparency of a window
[04:09] <eric84> danbhfive: it seems to, once it boots it brings up the ubuntu login screen, i login, and i get the same blank desktop
[04:10] <Scunizi> USN1520: sometimes.. but not with HH.. it's different.
[04:10] <patifa> ferric84: You should.  What's the behavior that's not letting you?
[04:10] <mstef> sourgrape, yes i've upgraded to 8.04
[04:10] <ferric84> patifa: I'm a moron, I had it mounted.  works now
[04:10] <gaspipe1> night all
[04:10] <mstef> sourgrape, i installed linux-386 thought because my audio stopped working..and someone told me to
[04:10] <h00k> c0Ld: check your PCM and see if that's up all the way
[04:10] <anoble> Scunizi: im not even sure that will work, its got the wrong video driver
[04:10] <eric84> danbhfive: it says my home directory does not appear to exist and asks to login with root as my home directory, so i say yes
[04:10] <adamsad1> is it worth running both snort and ossec, or do they both essentially do the same thing?
[04:10] <newperson122> Hey there, im having some difficulty installing my rt73 driver for my usb wireless adapter
[04:10] <sourgrape> mstef - ahh.  You need the 686 version, I'm trying to find it in synaptic now.  It's a different name than it was last time I looked
[04:11] <Scunizi> anoble: if that's the case I'm stuck.... I havent' installed HH yet.. I was just about to pull the trigger on the upgrade.
[04:11] <mstef> sourgrape, ok, thanks
[04:11] <USN1520> newperson122 how are you sitting now
[04:11] <danbhfive> eric84: well, I don't know, but I might be able to help with the hosts problem
[04:11] <sourgrape> mstef - I'm no expert - but as far as I can figure, the i386 was only one proc, and 686 was SMP
[04:11] <rokumanxes> AndrewBuck:  how do I save it?
[04:11] <anoble> Scunizi: wait, i got in there
[04:11] <newperson122> welll im running off the live cd atm, which can connect np's, but when i boot into the installled os, the wireless stops working after 10 minutes or so
[04:11] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: "write out" mans save
[04:11] <guitarthrasher> !ping
[04:11] <eric84> danbhfive: thanks for your help, what would you suggest?
[04:12] <anoble> Scunizi: ok so what am i looking for in there
[04:12] <danbhfive> eric84: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4823775#post4823775
[04:12] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: i think its ctrl+w
[04:12] <Scunizi> anoble: do an "ls" to list the files and look for xorg.conf.back or xorg.conf.<date>
[04:12] <mstef> sourgrape, ok, if youre wrong nothing horrible will happen right? also, it worked fine in 7.x
[04:12] <USN1520> hmmm, wonder what changes after 10 minutes
[04:12] <rokumanxes> Ah, the ^ means ctrl.
[04:13] <rokumanxes> It's ctrl O.
[04:13] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: yep
[04:13] <sourgrape> mstef - yea, when I've done this, I could just boot to the other kernel if I had a problem
[04:13] <anoble> Scunizi: ok found, xorg.conf_backup_200804292248
[04:13] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: once you get it saved try opeing the network settings thing again, it should show up now.
[04:13] <sourgrape> mstef you'd just do it at the grub boot menu, pick the other kernel
[04:13] <mstef> sourgrape, ok thanks..did you find the name?
[04:13] <USN1520> with the adapter installed, I assume it shows up as an adapter in lspci, so it odesnt go away, it just won't maintain a connection?
[04:13] <eric84> danbhfive: thanks, i'll give that a shot
[04:14] <rokumanxes> still no....
[04:14] <Aristocles> sourgrape, well, that didn't work. lol
[04:14] <Scunizi> anoble: ok.. you could try "sudo mv xorg.conf_backup_200804292248 xorg.conf"
[04:14] <Aristocles> thanks anyway
[04:14] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: try "sudo ifup wlan0" on the terminal
[04:14] <sourgrape> mstef - It's not called 686 anymore, it looks like it is called linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic
[04:14] <Aristocles> has anyone used a usb drive to boot linux?
[04:14] <shthap3ns> can anyone recommend a good partition scheme for RAID1 with 2x500gb hard drives?
[04:15] <anoble> Scunizi: nv command not found
[04:15] <mstef> k ill try it out
[04:15] <mstef> thanks alot
[04:15] <DATmafia> shthap3ns i prefer a mirror raid 1
[04:15] <rokumanxes> It spat info at me!  How rude.  Err..
[04:15] <Scunizi> anoble: not nv.. but .. mv
[04:15] <rokumanxes> Hold on a moment...
[04:15] <anoble> Scunizi: and how do i know it worked/
[04:15] <eric84> danbhfive: same error heh =\
[04:15] <DATmafia> shthap3ns it's that slow and you're not sacrificing speed for reliability, IMO
[04:15] <anoble> ?*
[04:16] <mortuis99> i uppgraded to HH from GG and now when i try and play videos they are jumpy.  can someone give me some ideas to solve this?
[04:16] <shthap3ns> DATmafia: that's what i'm doing, but i'm trying to figure out how to partition the drives
[04:16] <Scunizi> anoble: restart X with CTRL+ALT+backspace.. you'll have to log on again and get back on irc
[04:16] <legends311> hi all
[04:16] <mstef> sourgrape, can i uninstall the thousand of other images installed?
[04:16] <DATmafia> shthap3ns oh, from within the  install wizard?
[04:16] <krim> I solved the ugly fonts in Firefox 3 issue. If anyone cares to know I stopped allowing pages to choose their own fonts in preferences -> content -> advanced
[04:16] <anoble> Scunizi: im on a different computer for irc
[04:16] <Steve1> Anyone have time to help me get my audio working?
[04:16] <sourgrape> aristocles - heh I mean, it makes sense that the restart isn't shutting something down right, or not flushing something, or forgetting to flush the toilet...
[04:16] <Scunizi> anoble: ah .. k.. then just reboot
[04:16] <shthap3ns> DATmafia: yeah, i'm installing 8.04 server
[04:17] <sourgrape> mstef - Just don't install the one you're using right now
[04:17] <sourgrape> mstef - UNinstall, I mean
[04:17] <danbhfive> eric84: well, if you are sure you did it right, then I'm all out of ideas.  You can pastebin your hosts file if you want me to check
[04:17] <krim> Steve1: Just write whatever you'd write if someone said yes and see if anyone is able to help you.
[04:17] <Luckrider> how do I view a folder as super user, I keep forgetting the command
[04:17] <Luckrider> ?
[04:18] <shthap3ns> DATmafia: right now i have a 2.7gb swap/497.4gb raid on each drive
[04:18] <furicle> shthap3ns: What are you using it for?  mysql needs different stuff than a media machine for instance....  important part would be to use LVM and only assign half of it or so,then it's easy to change later
[04:18] <Starnestommy> Luckrider: gksudo nautilus
[04:18] <shthap3ns> i'm using it as a fileserver
[04:18] <eric84> danbhfive: i double checked all the commands and they're good, thanks for your help, i'll dig through the forums some more
[04:18] <Knight488> is there a good program someone can reccomend for hardy to do more advanced key bindings, like making it so pushing h types "hi"?
[04:18] <Luckrider> thanks stanestommy
[04:18] <Luckrider> *starnestommy
[04:18] <anoble> Scunizi: what does not in use mean?
[04:18] <Scunizi> anoble: in what context
[04:19] <anoble> Scunizi: Nvidia Accelerated graphics Driver [ ] (Red Circle) Not in use
[04:19] <anoble> Scunizi: in Hardware Drivers
[04:19] <DATmafia> shthap3ns did u create the partitians in the Hardware RAID config?
[04:20] <h00k> anoble: your Restricted drivers?
[04:20] <anoble> Scunizi: yeah
[04:20] <AndrewBuck> rokumanxes: you still there?
[04:20] <JohnnyWells> Everytime I log in, the network manager requests access to the default key ring, and I get prompted for a password.  Can anyone tell me how to make it stop doing this?
[04:20] <Scunizi> anoble: ah.! that means you're back to the standard drivers.. if you want to initiate the restricted drivers do so.
[04:20] <h00k> anoble: you can disable it, then re-enable it, and it should download the drivers, you'll need to reboot
[04:20] <shthap3ns> DATmafia: no, i was told not to use hardware raid, since i have "fakeraid", and to use software raid instead
[04:20] <h00k> anoble: and they should then be "In Use"
[04:20] <anoble> Scunizi: yeah i did this, but then it makes the system freak
[04:20] <anoble> ill take a screenshot
[04:21] <Luckrider> thanks again Starnestommy, i always forget (this time, I left myself a sticky note on my desktop)
[04:21] <JohnnyWells> Anyone?
[04:21] <DATmafia> shthap3ns ok, so then generally it's a matter of changing a file, 1 sec
[04:21] <Scunizi> anoble: you might want to leave it where it is until things get sorted out.. I'll be lost from here.
[04:21] <anoble> Scunizi: should i wait for an update?
[04:21] <USN1520> JohnnyWells there is an atricle in the forum to fix this
[04:21] <Scunizi> anoble: or until someone else can walk you through the rest.
[04:21] <xim> shthap3ns were you trying to talk to me?  you quoted something i said
 [19:56] <xim> hmm glxinfo |grep direct says direct rendering
[04:21] <anoble> h00k: can you help me?
[04:22] <USN1520> search PAM keyring
[04:22] <shthap3ns> xim: accident, sorry!
[04:22] <mortuis99> i just uppgraded to HH from GG and now all of my videos are jumpy can someone please help me?
[04:22] <xim> np
[04:22] <anoble> Scunizi: thnaks for taking your time : )
[04:22] <JohnnyWells> USN1520, I know.  I couldn't remember what it was though, and I did a search
[04:22] <Scunizi> anoble: well at least I got you back to square 1. good luck
[04:22] <anoble> Scunizi: greatly appreciated that you atleast helped
[04:22] <h00k> anoble: you disabled it, and then re-enabled it?
[04:22] <anoble> h00k: yes ill do that now and restart it
[04:22] <h00k> anoble: I'm trying to remember what I did to get mine to work...I have nVidia
[04:23] <h00k> anoble: I think that's all I did
[04:23] <mstef> sourgrape, hey sorry to bother you again..but how do you rebuilt the grub menu config file? i screwed it up
[04:23] <anoble> h00k: yeah but mine freaks out
[04:23] <h00k> anoble: disable, enable, then it should download the driver
[04:23] <YouKnowMe> maco, I get the warning message about installing it, then it does, then FF tells me its incompatible like it always does and its not installed.
[04:23] <anoble> h00k: well its restarting now
[04:23] <eboyjr> Does anyone know what time I joined this channel?
[04:23] <mortuis99> H00K how do u disable then enable?
[04:23] <firedice> this is teh first version of ubuntu\linux that i have tried....has ubuntu become more user friendly or does it have a little more to go for more people to switch to it?
[04:24] <sourgrape> mstef - see if there is a backup of it
[04:24] <mstef> whats the path again?
[04:24] <USN1520> JohnnyWells, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=463639&highlight=keyring+nagging
[04:24] <sourgrape> mstef /boot/grub
[04:24] <anoble> h00k: yeah its going to have the same problem
[04:24] <JohnnyWells> USN1520, thanks
[04:24] <anoble> h00k: want a screenshot?
[04:25] <simone> Hi, I followed the instructions on the "MacBook" wiki page to try and use xmodmap to bind the lower left enter key to right-click but it won't work.  I've set the command "xmodmap .xmodmap" to run at startup and restarted X11 and everything
[04:25] <h00k> mortuis99, anoble: try updating your packages, and them upgrading
[04:25] <furicle> shthap3ns: It's a little simplistic - but I'd have /boot, /var/log and / each in separate partitions, then make something like /data or /files or whatever as your file share in it's on partition.
[04:25] <JohnnyWells> Whenever I shut down my computer, the usplash turns multicolored and rainbow-y.  It doesn't do this on boot.  Is there something wrong with the splash or is there a way I can fix this?
[04:25] <anoble> h00k: yeah i did this already
[04:25] <h00k> hm
[04:25] <eboyjr> I stated downloading an iso about two hours ago and now... its only 34% done.. can I check download speed history or something with ubuntu 7.10?
[04:25] <eboyjr> started*
[04:26] <rokumanxes> AndrewBuck:  Nothing...  You still there?
[04:26] <anoble> h00k: yeah it froze
[04:26] <h00k> anoble: did you install linux-restricted-modules-(kernel here) ?
[04:26] <newperson122> Hey how do i install the nm-applet after i do a fresh install of gutsy?
[04:26] <newperson122> *remove i mean
[04:26] <anoble> h00k: that i did not i dont think
[04:26] <newperson122> not install
[04:26] <USN1520> newperson122 right click on the panel and select add to panel
[04:26] <h00k> anoble: get the right ones for the kernel you have
[04:26] <sourgrape> mstef - in a terminal, type "sudo update-grub"
[04:26] <patifa> rokumanxes: AndrewBuck left.
[04:27] <h00k> anoble: I just did this like a week or so ago, and I forget :/
[04:27] <rokumanxes> Really?  Crap...
[04:27] <shthap3ns> furicle: which ones would i set to RAID?
[04:27] <anoble> h00k: how did i get the right one?
[04:27] <rokumanxes> Can anyone help me with connecting to my wifi?
[04:27] <rokumanxes> I did it last night, but now it's not working at all....
[04:27] <newperson122> oh i mean how do i remove nm-applet, sorry
[04:27] <newperson122> so that it doesnt load everytime i boot either
[04:27] <h00k> anoble: do 'uname -r' in a terminal to see your kernel
[04:27] <USN1520> newperson122, right click remove
[04:27] <patifa> man I must be fortunate, my wireless worked out-of-the-box :\
[04:27] <newperson122> theres no "remove" option
[04:28] <sourgrape> linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[04:28] <h00k> sourcode: that works too, thanks :D
[04:28] <USN1520> newperson122, you are right doesn
[04:28] <newperson122> only "Enable networking" "Enable Wirless"
[04:28] <eboyjr> Does the download speed on Ubuntu lower or stop when the computer is idle?
[04:28] <anoble> 2.6.24-16-generic
[04:28] <x45> can i burn wine to a cd and install it on a different ubuntu machine?
[04:28] <USN1520> what if you uncheck both
[04:28] <anoble> h00k: yeah its really ... now
[04:28] <rokumanxes> Well, it was all fine, but now it's like...  when I click the network icon, it automatically goes to Connection Properties, instead of the dropdown menu it had....
[04:28] <rokumanxes> Any ideas?
[04:29] <patifa> eboyjr: I could think of an example of that with poorly configured frequency scaling
[04:29] <anoble> h00k: any way i can boot right to terminal?
[04:29] <newperson122> its jsut that for my rt73 driver, it doesnt play well with nm-applet, so just trying to stop nm-applet loading
[04:29] <earthling> x45: you can try aptoncd
[04:29] <furicle> shthap3ns: Sorry - thought you were building everything on a RAID 1...   eg DISK->RAID1->LVM -  why not RAID all of it?
[04:29] <x45> earthling, whats that?
[04:29] <sourgrape> rokumanxes - just if it didn't have the driver correctly installed is all I can think of
[04:29] <h00k> anoble: you can change your session type at your login window
[04:29] <eboyjr> patifa, What's frequency scaling again?
[04:29] <eboyjr> =p
[04:29] <rokumanxes> I got that all taken care of last night.
[04:29] <earthling> well it helps creating repository cds
[04:29] <USN1520> dunno I always need it
[04:30] <h00k> eboyjr: that's what speed your processor(s) are running
[04:30] <anoble> h00k: wont even get to the there
[04:30] <USN1520> what does the applet have to do with it
[04:30] <rokumanxes> The battery died, and it didn't shut down right, and now it's all weird.
[04:30] <eboyjr> h00k, Oh, thats right.
[04:30] <shthap3ns> furicle: so would my current setup of raid(497GB)+swap(2.7GB) on both drives be alright?
[04:30] <eboyjr> thx
[04:30] <patifa> eboyjr: New system where your processor can be underclocked on the fly to conserve power.  I had screwy one of those programs that controlled it in windows which would cause stuff to go bonkers :)
[04:30] <anoble> h00k: yeah well im in recov and in Dropped to Root shell promt
[04:31] <earthling> x45: it helps creating repositoy cds which can be used to install from later rather than downloading the softwares again from synaptic
[04:31] <h00k> anoble: yeah, recovery mode will do that, too
[04:31] <eboyjr> hah
[04:31] <h00k> anoble: that did not work?
[04:31] <h00k> anoble: the linux-restricted-modules...
[04:31] <furicle> shthap3ns: I would think so - just use the RAID array for LVM....   Note - I haven't booted Hardy from LVM on RAID, but Debian does it ok so I don't why Hardy won't...  Anybody think I'm out to lunch here?
[04:31] <x45> earthling, sounds good
[04:31] <anoble> h00k: im cant get to them
[04:31] <vwbusguy> So I've heard a rumor that 8.04 doesn't need it's own partition?
[04:31] <rokumanxes> Anyone know why it gives an error when I click configure in connection properties?
[04:31] <sourgrape> anoble - google "grub runlevel 3"
[04:32] <eboyjr> Is 32 KB - 62 KB /sec a good speed for downloads?
[04:32] <USN1520> eboyjr not really
[04:32] <furicle> shthap3ns: why 2.7G swap anyway?  sounds like an odd number
[04:32] <rokumanxes> It's not amazing, but it's sufficient.
[04:32] <USN1520> what type of connection
[04:32] <patifa> eboyjr: Depends on what you have.
[04:32] <Vlet> eboyjr: depends on your internet connection
[04:32] <h00k> dito ^
[04:32] <earthling> x45: yup
[04:32] <shthap3ns> it was default
[04:32] <anoble> h00k: im cant get to them as im not using an internet connection
[04:32] <anoble> h00k: on that computer..
[04:33] <eboyjr> USN1520, patifa, Vlet, Its cable
[04:33] <h00k> anoble: OOooooh -- that'll do it
[04:33] <rokumanxes> Any connection I click to configure gives me an error about.. interface, or something...
[04:33] <furicle> shthap3ns: twice RAM?  just curious
[04:33] <USN1520> yeah that sucks
[04:33] <h00k> anoble: can you get the package from another machine and burn to cd or put on thumbdrive?
[04:33] <USN1520> I get 250+ on cable
[04:33] <USN1520> choose another mirror
[04:33] <sourgrape> use torrents
[04:33] <sourgrape> esp for ISOs
[04:33] <vwbusguy> mirrors.kernel.org is usually fast
[04:33] <USN1520> sourgrape is right
[04:33] <Vlet> rokumanxes: what's the error?
[04:33] <patifa> Isn't cox cable one of the throttler ISPs?
[04:33] <eboyjr> USN1520, Okay... ( even if I have 36% done already? )
[04:34] <h00k> patifa: which one isn't, these days :/
[04:34] <shthap3ns> furicle: well, the first time i installed ubuntu, i used "fake raid" (through the mobo's BIOS). i did the guided install and it gave me a 2.7gb swap by default
[04:34] <USN1520> yeah it will save time to use torrents
[04:34] <sourgrape> eboy - yea, if you get a torrent or a better mirror that won't take long to get back
