[10:57] <Nitro-Wii> is'
[10:58] <mneptok> Nitro-Wii: all computers have firmware.
[10:58] <Nitro-Wii> k
[10:58] <mneptok> wwwdotcomhere: do you have an OS Nein CD?
[10:58] <wwwdotcomhere> mne, no, I have a 9.1 cd
[10:58] <uwewes> nen
[10:58] <wwwdotcomhere> I made a unbuntu cd
[10:58] <Nitro-Wii> so you could set it to boot from a disc insted?
[10:58] <wwwdotcomhere> and now I am trying to revert back
[10:59] <mneptok> (and, if you care, i think Xubuntu is a *much* better idea on that machine than is OS Nein)
[10:59] <wwwdotcomhere> Nitro, again, that doesn't remove the OS, it just bypasses it on boot
[10:59] <wwwdotcomhere> mne, yes, but it loads slower, that's the problem
[10:59] <wwwdotcomhere> Really slow, like 30 minutes for a program to load
[11:00] <wwwdotcomhere> so I might as well use it for storage
[11:00] <wwwdotcomhere> and I can play media files
[11:00] <mneptok> wwwdotcomhere: boot off the 9.1 CD. run Drive Setup. use that to reformat the ext3 partitions as HFS+.
[11:00] <wwwdotcomhere> with 9.1
[11:00] <wwwdotcomhere> mne, when I tried to install, it asks for a drive but it lists none
[11:01] <mneptok> wwwdotcomhere: you need to run the Drive Setup utility
[11:01] <stylus> unop, the command to install inetd is simply "apt-get install inetd" correct?
[11:01] <wwwdotcomhere> ok, I'll try to find that
[11:01] <unop> stylus,  looks correct :)
[11:01] <mneptok> wwwdotcomhere: your disk is 100% in use. by Ubuntu. so the OS Nein installer is correct. you have no free space or partition for it.
[11:03] <Nitro-Wii> i have a question how come when i run Steam the game disro with wine i cant see any text?
[11:04] <Nitro-Wii> anyone?
[11:05] <Nitro-Wii> jeez
[11:06] <Nitro-Wii> a irc should never be this quiet
[11:08] <mackinac> do all partitions need a UUID in fstab?
[11:08] <unop> mackinac,  nope, you can use the old style devices too
[11:08] <Juhaz> or LABEL
[11:09] <mackinac> my Fat32 partition wont mount :(
[11:10] <fiberchunks> is the vfat module loaded?
[11:10] <stepanstas> how do you edit a file with sudo? (whats the command)
[11:10] <unop> mackinac, have you tried mounting it via the command line?
[11:10] <mackinac> i tried sudo mount -a
[11:10] <unop> stepanstas,  sudo $EDITOR /etc/fstab
[11:10] <Keitaru> I just broke X now I am in text based terminal
[11:10] <Nitro-Wii> lol
[11:11] <unop> mackinac,  try something like this - sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hdx /mnt/point  .. substituting your device and mnt_pnt here
[11:11] <stepanstas> unop, and if i want to edit menu.lst where do i place it
[11:11] <mackinac> error: "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda4, missing codepage, or other error"
[11:11] <unop> stepanstas,  sudo $EDITOR /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:11] <wwwdotcomhere>  Looks, like it is working, I had to initialize ATAP which I guess gives it a drive to install the OS
[11:11] <unop> mackinac,  are you sure it is a FAT partition -- check with - fdisk -l
[11:12] <stepanstas> unop, thanks, and what editor is easies to use for a beginer
[11:12] <unop> stepanstas,  nano is pretty good for these things
[11:13] <unop> stepanstas,  i believe its installed by default on ubuntu and might also be the default $EDITOR .. check with - echo $EDITOR
[11:13] <mackinac> fdisk cannot open
[11:13] <unop> or - echo $VISUAL
[11:13] <fiberchunks> unop, what's the magic for checking DMA status on a hard drive (i can't bloody remember)
[11:14] <fiberchunks> mackinac, sudo fdisk -l
[11:14] <unop> fiberchunks,  hdparm?
[11:14] <fiberchunks> thanks :)
[11:14] <stylus> unop, is there anything else I must do for the identd to respond to requests?
[11:14] <stepanstas> unop, thanks a lot
[11:14] <mackinac> fiberchunks, ok ty
[11:14] <stepanstas> unop, you gave me the quick help i needed
[11:15] <unop> stylus,  errm, it needs an entry in it for the service it will provide .. and might need to be restarted if that was done
[11:15] <unop> stepanstas,  yw :)
[11:15] <stylus> unop, I haven't added that entry then I guess.
[11:15] <mackinac> unop, fdisc doesn't say what file system, neither does device manager
[11:16] <stylus> unop, how can I do so?
[11:16] <unop> stylus,  what service do you want to serve?
[11:16] <mackinac> unop, guess I should try gparted to reformat?
[11:16] <SoulChild> HEY ALL... I have this strange PRoblem that Links in Thunderbird or X-Chat (anywhere) do not open???
[11:16] <fiberchunks> fdisk -l should list all partitions on all devices, and the type is under the 'System' colum
[11:16] <stylus> unop, ident
[11:16] <unop> mackinac,  does fdisk list the FS type for the other partitions ?
[11:17] <unop> stylus,  errm, i guess you might also need ident/identd installed to
[11:17] <unop> stylus,  google for this "ident inetd" .. i bet you'll get lots of results
[11:17] <unop> :)
[11:17] <mackinac> unop, oh, i thought i had to specify the disk ... ok it says "W95 FAT32"
[11:17] <fiberchunks> mackinac, sudo lsmod | grep vfat
[11:18] <fiberchunks> does it say anything, or just give you another prompt
[11:18] <mackinac> vfat  14720  0
[11:19] <mackinac> fat  56348  1  vfat
[11:19] <fiberchunks> mmm, k the module is loaded
[11:20] <unop> fiberchunks,  [ `sudo lsmod | grep vfat` ]  && echo "yes, vfat loaded"  :) :>
[11:20] <fiberchunks> heh
[11:20] <unop> mackinac,  are you sure you are using the mount command the right way?
[11:21] <unop> mackinac, and on the right device too?
[11:21] <mackinac> "sudo mount -a"
[11:21] <unop> mackinac,  dude but if the /etc/fstab entry is wonky, that's useless really
[11:21] <SysDoc> Anyone have good link for trouble shooting a grub reinstall? Had to install Xp again and grub isn't liking something and not booting linux
[11:22] <unop> mackinac,  try mounting from the command line before adding an entry into /etc/fstab
[11:22] <frogzoo> !grub > SysDoc
[11:22] <mackinac> unop, ok ill try specific
[11:23] <mackinac> unop, what options should I use?
[11:23] <variant> !flash9
[11:23] <ubotu> Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash

[11:24] <unop> mackinac,  simply, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hdX /mnt/point
[11:24] <Nitro-Wii> how do i install 32 bit flash for 64 bit
[11:24] <Nitro-Wii> ?
[11:24] <SysDoc> frogzoo thanks but have tried all those methods
[11:24] <unop> Nitro-Wii,  you probably need a seperate chroot for that
[11:25] <Nitro-Wii> mm
[11:25] <unop> !chroot > Nitro-Wii
[11:25] <Nitro-Wii> :O no wai
[11:25] <unop> eh?
[11:26] <niner4ever`> unop you're right my soho router doesnt have option to set dns server
[11:26] <niner4ever`> unless i use static pppoe
[11:26] <Viroo> how can I "flush" the cache ?
[11:26] <niner4ever`> there's an option for local domain name but it doesnt specify which ip
[11:26] <niner4ever`> so i guess i'll just go for an easy fix
[11:26] <mackinac> unop: "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda4, missing codepage, or other error"
[11:26] <Viroo> how can I "flush" the cache ?
[11:26] <frogzoo> SysDoc: can you get to a grub prompt?
[11:27] <SysDoc> yea
[11:27] <frogzoo> SysDoc: find /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:27] <niner4ever`> I'd hand out emails to add " ip > test host" to host files
[11:27] <niner4ever`> lol
[11:27] <unop> niner4ever`,  can you change the DHCP options on the router??
[11:27] <mackinac> unop, "dmesg | tail" gave me: "cant find a valid fat filesystem"
[11:27] <niner4ever`> yeah
[11:27] <Viroo> how can I "flush" the cache ?
[11:27] <mackinac> unop: and "bogus sectors per cluster"
[11:28] <Viroo> anyone?
[11:28] <patrick_king> does anyone know of a good back up program
[11:28] <unop> mackinac,  and are you sure /dev/hda4 exists and is the win95 FAT partition as per fdisk -l ?
[11:28] <niner4ever`> lemme show you
[11:28] <frogzoo> Virtuall: sudo apt-get clean                if you mean the apt cache
[11:28] <patrick_king> for directories
[11:29] <unop> niner4ever`,  if thats the case, you might be able to set the DNS server options for the clients
[11:29] <SysDoc> frogzoo, I have access to all the files and have got grub reinstalled, just tells me that the partitions are not mountable
[11:29] <mackinac> unop, yes .... maybe the drive is too big for my mobo / bios firmware?
[11:29] <niner4ever`> hmm what do you mean
[11:29] <niner4ever`> it just says Local domain name " blank " (optional)
[11:29] <niner4ever`> it doesnt say where
[11:29] <niner4ever`> http://support.dlink.com/Emulators/di624/h_lan.html
[11:30] <mackinac> unop, i thought since the partition manager saw 250GB it was fine, but...
[11:30] <muuhDBX> will ubuntu have something like http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ ?
[11:31] <niner4ever`> oh what i was saying is it only gives me options to set dns address for static PPPoE
[11:31] <wwwdotcomhere> Well, if ubuntu doesn't do codec games like windows does, I would be quite happy putting it on this computer
[11:31] <niner4ever`> but mine is dynamic and I cant change the dns server when its dynamic
[11:32] <unop> mackinac,  probably - you got a windows machine?
[11:32] <mackinac> yeah, sort of...
[11:32] <unop> niner4ever`,  usually you have an option somewhere here to set the DNS servers the clients recieve - http://support.dlink.com/Emulators/di624/h_dhcp.html
[11:32] <marvin_> hello room..pls help me I"m trying to install tomboy
[11:32] <niner4ever`> ah
[11:32] <unop> mackinac, you could go back into windows and run a chkdsk on the drive
[11:33] <niner4ever`> its actually the wrong router
[11:33] <nknwd> does anyone know how to install pyGTK-devel ?
[11:33] <niner4ever`> i have di624 too but different version
[11:33] <niner4ever`> and the one i have doesnt give me the option
[11:33] <mackinac> unop, ok, thanks for the help :)
[11:33] <unop> niner4ever`,  but all is not lost, you can also setup a DHCP server yourself and configure all these things
[11:33] <niner4ever`> when i select dynamic
[11:33] <niner4ever`> yeah
[11:33] <muuhDBX> will ubuntu have something like http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ ?
[11:33] <niner4ever`> lemme see if any firmware update would help
[11:34] <unop> mackinac,  if that doesnt help -- you can create a new FAT partition and copy files over or convert the drive to NTFS
[11:34] <agliv5> Greetings all :) Having problems with Licq playing sounds... sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't although I haven't made any changes to the settings... Can anyone help me out?
[11:34] <unop> niner4ever`,  i meant a DHCP server on a linux box :)
[11:34] <nknwd> DOES anyone know how to install pyGTK-devel ?
[11:34] <niner4ever`> ah ok
[11:34] <mackinac> unop, not a problem as this drive is new and empty :) ... thanks!
[11:35] <unop> mackinac,  ahh, you should be able to delete the partition and recreate the file system again :)
[11:35] <niner4ever`> i'll play around with it a little
[11:35] <niner4ever`> thanks again unop
[11:35] <mackinac> unop, yeah i'll give that a shot
[11:35] <unop> mackinac,  actually just recreate the FAT filesystem again -- man mkfs
[11:35] <fiberchunks> or, if you're not bound to having to have it be vfat, put a linux fs on there
[11:35] <marvin_> hello room..pls help me I"m trying to install tomboy
[11:35] <bimberi> nknwd: python-gtk2-dev
[11:35] <mackinac> fiberchunks, i'll try that too, thanks!
[11:36] <unop> mackinac,  i think its as simple as -- sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/hda4   (please verify)
[11:36] <fiberchunks> mackinac, is there any particular reason it needs to be a windows-based filesystem?
[11:37] <fiberchunks> ex. because it's a windows installation drive or some such thing?
[11:37] <nknwd> thanks bimberi
[11:38] <mackinac> unop, that seems to have worked! :)
[11:38] <mackinac> be right back
[11:38] <muuhDBX> will ubuntu have something like http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ ????
[11:39] <ycmarvin> hello room..pls help me I"m trying to install tomboy
[11:39] <wwwdotcomhere> How is ubuntu better than debian?
[11:39] <ikonia> its different
[11:39] <unop> muuhDBX,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/
[11:39] <ikonia> its just opinions
[11:40] <ycmarvin> hello room..pls help me I"m trying to install tomboy.. ./configure worked but after that.. the make command doesnt work
[11:40] <ikonia> I fail to understand why we need the install.exe project
[11:40] <ikonia> ycmarvin: what is the error
[11:40] <ycmarvin> no targets specified no target found
[11:40] <freebse> what the hell is this debian.exe anyway
[11:40] <ikonia> ycmarvin: you're configure didn't work
[11:40] <ikonia> freebse its an install from within windows
[11:41] <ycmarvin> what should I do then...
[11:41] <freebse> ikonia: I thought something like that, do we really need this ?
[11:41] <unop> ikonia,  because a majority of the target audience has no idea what a partition is (forget getting them to partition) .. an installer that takes care of all these issues is a right way to go to attract the "clueless" (forgive my insensitivity) :)
[11:41] <frogzoo_> anyone give me some pointers to configuring pppd params to keep the link up even when it drops temporarily?
[11:42] <ikonia> unop: thats unacceptable, I still can't get behind that project
[11:42] <ycmarvin> I also have a problem with firestarter..it doesn't start automatically
[11:42] <mackinac> fiberchunks, simply for win compatibility
[11:43] <K-Rich> not sure who to tell but i'm getting hits on random ports when connecting to archive.ubuntu.com  (<IP_ADDRESS>) when updating packages ports in the 40000 to 60000
[11:43] <K-Rich> range
[11:43] <fiberchunks> mackinac, ah, ic
[11:44] <unop> ikonia,  it really doesnt affect the users who like to do things the old style way or those who know how to partition .. can a 10 year old windows user install linux using a live CD (well maybe, but theres still a chance he could botch the install and/or ruin the existing windows install his family wants) .. if he just ran install.exe (typical windows), it's quite straight forward
[11:45] <ycmarvin> here's the error when I run ./configure for tomboy .. can't find mcs path
[11:46] <ikonia> unop: I appriciate that, but how much are we dumming this down............ eg: if a user can't install windows, he normally goes to his local PC shop or mate, should the same not be for ubuntu. eg; your not at the level where you can install "an OS" so get someone else to do it
[11:46] <ikonia> ycmarvin: you told me configure was working fine
[11:46] <ycmarvin> ikonia, yes I thought it was. i got it wrong
[11:47] <mackinac> unop, apparently the formatting at install didn't take... all is good now - thanks again :)
[11:48] <fotoflo> hey everyone
[11:48] <lufeng> ?
[11:48] <ikonia> hello
[11:48] <fotoflo> got a quick question: when i ssh into my ubuntu box it says i have new mail, but i dont have pine or elm and aptget doesnt work for pine or elm... how do i check it?
[11:49] <fiberchunks> fotoflo, mail
[11:49] <fotoflo> lufeng: ni hao
[11:49] <ikonia> mutt ? biff ? mail ?
[11:49] <lufeng> ni hao
[11:49] <fotoflo> command not found x3
[11:49] <lufeng> da jia hao
[11:49] <ycmarvin> ikonia im doing the sudo apt-get build-dep tomboy
[11:49] <ikonia> fotoflo: install a mail client
[11:49] <ycmarvin> got that tip just now
[11:49] <unop> ikonia,  ok, well, do you accept that once ubuntu is up and running that any user, even a kid can install any application he wants and be totally at home with the setup??
[11:49] <fotoflo> command not found x3i have evolution
[11:50] <fotoflo> err
[11:50] <ycmarvin> is there a way to make firestarter automatically start
[11:50] <fotoflo> i have evolution
[11:50] <ikonia> fotoflo: you need something what will read mail fomat
[11:50] <ikonia> mutt, mail, pine, etc
[11:50] <fotoflo> ikonia theres no package for pine or elm
[11:50] <geckino> I wanna install mod_security 1.9 or 2 for apache, have an idea?
[11:50] <geckino> *apache2
[11:50] <ikonia> fotoflo: ok - use mutt
[11:51] <fotoflo> getting mutt
[11:51] <fotoflo> whats mutt?
[11:51] <fotoflo> stds?
[11:51] <ikonia> a mail client like pine
[11:51] <fotoflo> err ssds
[11:52] <fotoflo> ikonia, running it for the first time, it says my mail folder dosnt exist
[11:52] <ikonia> fotoflo: man it and read how to set it up
[11:52] <fiberchunks> what's the command in debian ubuntu speak for searching for packages?
[11:52] <ycmarvin> bye room
[11:52] <ikonia> apt-cache
[11:52] <ikonia> bye
[11:53] <fotoflo> ikonia,  ok :-)
[11:53] <fiberchunks> thx
[11:53] <fotoflo> ikonia, it worked
[11:53] <unop> fiberchunks,  apt-cache search something   or  aptitude search "regular expression"
[11:53] <Dimensions> Hiya can we install ubuntu on 1 GB USB Flash Drive .... as one of my friend did but he couldn't save data between sessions .... ??
[11:53] <ikonia> Dimensions: I'd advise against that
[11:54] <fiberchunks> unop, thx again
[11:54] <MattJ> I need some ideas for what could be wrong with my sound
[11:55] <unop> Dimensions,  well, why or what couldnt he save? out of space?
[11:55] <MattJ> No apps can detect the sound card, and it happened just... suddenly
[11:55] <ikonia> MattJ: not configured, speakers not got volume turned up, wrong drivers,
[11:55] <Dimensions> ikonia:  i need a linux OS on a USB flash drive fully working ... currently i use ubuntu on all of our systems in office and deployments ... and im happy with ubuntu but donno which flavour i should try then ...
[11:55] <MattJ> One day it worked, next day it didn't
[11:55] <frogzoo_> MattJ: usually it's just cos people have a mute - check sound -> volume control - file -> deivices   & edit -> preferences
[11:55] <ikonia> Dimensions: why do you need it on a usb pen /
[11:55] <MattJ> ikonia: Explain how I have been using it for months with the wrong drivers? :)
[11:55] <MattJ> It's not muted
[11:56] <Dimensions> unop:  he created directories but when rebooted system they were gone ...
[11:56] <ikonia> MattJ: you've downloaded the ubuntu update, you've installed an app the changed the configuration
[11:56] <MattJ> The mixer settings are not there
[11:56] <ikonia> MattJ: what do you mean the mixer settings are not there
[11:56] <Dimensions> ikonia:  to save the space ... we need small factor units ... just like gumstix
[11:56] <unop> Dimensions,  it's hard to see ubuntu fitting on 1GB, even on a very minimal install -- and then you have to take into consideration space you need for yourself
[11:56] <ikonia> to save space ??? disk space or desk space ?
[11:56] <MattJ> I'm using Xfce, and the panel item shows no settings, because there are no sound devices
[11:56] <Dimensions> ikonia:  desk ...
[11:57] <MattJ> amixer also reports "Device not found"
[11:57] <unop> Dimensions,  DSL is probably the way to go with a 1GB pendrive
[11:57] <ikonia> Dimensions: but you'll still need a PC to plug the drive into - how is that saving space ?
[11:57] <Dimensions> unop: we just need abt 10 mb for our self
[11:57] <frogzoo_> MattJ: easiest might be install alsamixer
[11:57] <unop> Dimensions,  even then, i just cant see ubuntu fitting on 1GB, however much you shave off
[11:58] <MattJ> frogzoo_: I have it
[11:58] <MattJ> $ alsamixer
[11:58] <MattJ> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[11:58] <ikonia> MattJ: which device is it looking for ?
[11:58] <unop> MattJ,  would you happen to have 2 sound cards -- one onboard maybe?
[11:58] <MattJ> Like I said, it was working fine a day or two ago
[11:58] <MattJ> and it has been since I installed Ubuntu
[11:58] <unop> MattJ,  thats not the answer to the question :)
[11:58] <ikonia> MattJ: you've said that 3 times - it doesn't change the fact that its not working now
[11:58] <MattJ> I do, as it happens
[11:58] <g4l84t0r1x> gi
[11:58] <g4l84t0r1x> fds
[11:58] <frogzoo_> MattJ: dapper or edgy?
[11:58] <MattJ> But the onboard is disabled
[11:58] <MattJ> Edgy
[11:59] <unop> MattJ,  use asoundconf to see if alsa is using the right card/device
[11:59] <Dimensions> ikonia:  the pc it self is 4*4
[11:59] <ikonia> Dimensions: I advise strongly against it
[11:59] <MattJ> ~$ asoundconf list
[11:59] <MattJ> Names of available sound cards:
[11:59] <MattJ> UART
[11:59] <Dimensions> unop:  and if i use 2 GB drive ?
[11:59] <MattJ> I have a SOundBlaster
[12:00] <MattJ> *SoundBlaster
[12:00] <Chousuke> how can I control the fan in my laptop?
[12:00] <ikonia> Dimensions: you'd have more space
[12:00] <Chousuke> ubuntu isn't spinning it up when needed, so my computer gets too hot.
[12:00] <unop> Dimensions,  errm, you could probably get away with it, yea
[12:00] <fiberchunks> is there an equivalent to a /etc/SUSE-release file ?
[12:01] <unop> fiberchunks,  /etc/release ?
[12:01] <Jowi> fiberchunks, lsb_release
[12:01] <frogzoo_> fiberchunks: /usr/share/doc/
[12:01] <Dimensions> ikonia:  but will i be able to save data ? just like a folder with few MB space i.e 100 mb ?
[12:01] <fiberchunks> thx
[12:01] <Jowi> fiberchunks, /etc/lsb-release even
[12:01] <unop> Dimensions,  yes

[12:06] <MattJ> I think I'll have to post on the forums
[12:07] <MattJ> I followed a guide on there, to remove and reinstall alsa, but it didn't help
[12:07] <CheshireViking> when fsck finds errors at boot, does it store the error in a specific log file? I'm getting an error, but i only see the very end of it, the rest scrolls off the screen, if it gets kept in a log file I can try & solve it?
[12:08] <MattJ> Look in  /var/log/fsck/
[12:09] <cot> whois
[12:09] <cot> cot
[12:10] <CheshireViking> MattJ, thanks for that, i'll have a look tonight when i get home to the machine

[12:16] <giorgiga> Hi guys - sorry to bother
[12:16] <giorgiga> I'm running the latest (unstable) Ubuntu - after today's update I'm no longer able to unlock the pc... I imagine there is a problem in GDM...
[12:16] <giorgiga> Does anyone know where I can report this?
[12:16] <frogzoo> CapRiCoRN^80: you can use the dodge tool to lighten a selected area - if the text is transparent yes, you can remove it
[12:16] <zoli2k> unop, thank you, you are the fastest :)
[12:17] <mackinac> !feisty
[12:17] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[12:17] <unop> zoli2k,  yw :) .. it still hangs on to underscores tho .. you'll need s/\W|_//g if you want them removed
 : didnt get u ?
[12:18] <zoli2k> unop: If I  want to preserve space also ?
[12:18] <frogzoo> zoli2k: strings might do what you want
[12:19] <nevron> isnt there anybody that knows about soundcards
[12:19] <unop> zoli2k,  s/[^\w\s] //g
[12:19] <giorgiga> thanks ubotu - I'll try #ubuntu+1
[12:19] <zoli2k> unop: thx
[12:19] <nevron> is there a better channel that i can ask about soundcards generallt
[12:20] <ucordes> how can i get rid of the bootsplash in order to see the regular booting progress?
[12:20] <coNP> ucordes: edit you /boot/grub/menu.lst and get rid of quiet and usplash in the entries
[12:21] <unop> ucordes,  edit the grub menu.lst and remove the word 'splash' from the particular boot entry
[12:21] <MattJ> Does lspci list /all/ my PCI cards, or only those loaded?
[12:21] <ucordes> coNP, unop: thanks
[12:21] <MattJ> Because it does not list my soundcard
[12:21] <unop> MattJ,  all those seen by linux, and those loaded by the BIOS
[12:21] <Davo_Dinkum> Is there an IRC channel for the PowerPC port of ubuntu?
[12:22] <ucordes> unop: what are the parameters ro and single for?
[12:22] <nevron> how can i get a channel list?
[12:23] <ardchoille> nevron: With the amount of channels, it'd likely flood you off the network.
[12:23] <unop> MattJ,  hmm, maybe your soundcard is listed there under another name or by generic card name
[12:23] <nevron> ardchoille do you know of a channel about soundcards
[12:23] <MattJ> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5701/
[12:24] <unop> ucordes,  ro and single correspond to the recovery mode - meaning boot into "single" user mode and ensure everything is loaded "read-only"
[12:24] <ucordes> unop: i see. thank you
[12:25] <ardchoille> nevron: No, sorry
[12:25] <coNP> nevron: you can ask gaim to list channels
[12:25] <coNP> nevron: I guess
[12:25] <unop> MattJ,  errm, yea, it's not detected here -- have a look at what  lshw or hwinfo detect
[12:26] <ienik> unop: i'm back (if you remember my old nickname - jelen - and skype troubles)
[12:26] <nevron> conP ok i am doing that
[12:26] <mackinac> nevron, there is #alsa ...
[12:26] <unop> ienik,  yes :)
[12:26] <nevron> makinac is it about soundcards
[12:27] <olimpico> Can someone help me please, I read in the internet that the TP-Link wireless card worked out of the box, but it doesn't. Please give me a hint, I was not able to find in the internet a howto, apparently it should work automatically
[12:27] <mackinac> alsa is a sound platform
[12:27] <unop> ienik,  did you have any luck?
[12:28] <mneptok> olimpico: what chipset does the card use?
[12:28] <soundray> olimpico: manufacturers sometimes change the chipset of a model without changing the model name.
[12:28] <ienik> unop: so, now it's running.. I forget to install 32bit libs for my amd64... so now it's working.. :) thanks for your help
[12:29] <nevron> mackinac my problem is really primitive i couldnt get ubuntu to use the sblive 24 bit soundcard as the default sound device
[12:29] <olimpico> mneptok: It's the TL-WN610G

[12:29] <real_mayo> hi
[12:30] <erUSUL> ubotu tell olimpico about pastebin | olimpico see priv msg from ubotu
[12:30] <MattJ> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5703/
[12:30] <real_mayo> is this the right place to ask questions?
[12:30] <unop> ienik,  yw :)
[12:30] <nevron> it uses the mpu-401 uart now
[12:30] <ienik> :]
[12:30] <ucordes> real_mayo: ubuntu specific questions, yes
[12:30] <real_mayo> oh ok thanks
[12:30] <mneptok> olimpico: Edgy?
[12:31] <olimpico> BUT my card is not even recognized
[12:31] <olimpico> mneptok: YES!
[12:31] <soundray> olimpico: see if you find a similar line in the output of 'lspci'
[12:31] <real_mayo> how do i mount a fat32 partition thats probably going to be mainly used for storage?
[12:31] <mneptok> olimpico: sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules
[12:31] <real_mayo> i tried the documentated ugides
[12:31] <real_mayo> i can see the partition except i can't exactly access it
[12:31] <olimpico> Yes, it says Ethernet controller: Atheros communications
[12:32] <mneptok> olimpico: sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules
[12:32] <mneptok> olimpico: sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules
[12:32] <mneptok> olimpico: sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules
[12:32] <ucordes> real_mayo: fat32 should be mounted automatically afaik. don't matter if you are gonna use it for storage or something else. between, talking about storage fat32 isn't the real deal since max. file size is 4gb or something
[12:32] <soundray> !fat32 | real_mayo
[12:32] <ubotu> real_mayo: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[12:33] <real_mayo> i went to that site
[12:33] <olimpico> mneptok: Are you sure is linux-restricted-modules???
[12:33] <real_mayo> i created the partition in GParted
[12:33] <mneptok> olimpico: sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules
[12:33] <olimpico> mneptok: Are you sure is linux-restricted-modules???
[12:33] <assasukasse> hi all
[12:33] <unska_> is it possible to do a script that opens ssh connection, gives my password to the connection, waits till the connection is established, writes screen -r. everytime the computer is booting up?
[12:33] <soundray> real_mayo: pay particular attention to the table that describes the mount options
[12:33] <ucordes> olimpico: what you want is the madwifi driver which is included in  sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules
[12:34] <soundray> !autossh | unska_
[12:34] <ubotu> unska_: autossh: Automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3-4 (edgy), package size 23 kB, installed size 104 kB
[12:34] <unop> MattJ,  this is not good .. are you sure you havent disabled this card in the BIOS ??
[12:34] <MattJ> I haven't even touched the BIOS :/
[12:34] <ucordes> olimpico: you can also get it here and compile it manually. advantage is you get the latest version in that way
[12:34] <ucordes> olimpico: www.madwifi.org
[12:34] <unska_> soundray, can it write the screen -r?
[12:34] <unop> MattJ,  do you have the live CD around?
[12:34] <MattJ> I do, somewhere
[12:35] <LeonWP> hello
[12:35] <real_mayo> which one do you mean?
[12:35] <erUSUL> olimpico: sudo apt-get install liunx-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[12:35] <LeonWP> how can I see the current CPU frequency?
[12:35] <unop> MattJ,  if i were you i'd boot into a couple of other OSes to see if it is detected there
[12:35] <real_mayo> soundray: which one do you mean?
[12:35] <mneptok> erUSUL: that is not correct
[12:35] <MattJ> Ok, I'll try it
[12:35] <LeonWP> it seems that the live cd kernel has the cpufreq governor enabled, so I wonder how to watch it
[12:35] <mneptok> erUSUL: the meta package should arways be used.
[12:35] <mneptok> *always
[12:36] <unop> MattJ, if thats not detected, ensure the card is seated in the slot well and try again
[12:36] <soundray> unska_: what you're trying to do is impossible to do safely.
[12:36] <real_mayo> soundray: which table were you referring to?
[12:37] <unop> unska_,  what is this "screen -r" ?
[12:38] <soundray> unop: GNU screen
[12:38] <ucordes> !screen | unop
[12:38] <ubotu> unop: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[12:38] <selinuxium> hi all, how dangerous is it to enable the backports repository? e
[12:38] <selinuxium> I am using edgy
[12:38] <ucordes> selinuxium: i always did fine with the backports
[12:38] <soundray> unska_: what's the problem with starting 'ssh remotehost screen -r' manually?
[12:38] <ucordes> selinuxium: but the normal repos are mor stable
[12:38] <unop> unska_,  you can have password-less SSH connections .. so in theory it is possible to run a command line , something like -- ssh user@host screen -r
[12:38] <unska_> soundray, are you seriously asking that?
[12:39] <erUSUL> mneptok: i stand corrected, thanks :)
[12:39] <selinuxium> ucordes: cheers :)
[12:39] <soundray> unska_: no, I take it back and will refrain from asking you anything anymore
[12:41] <ucordes> lol
[12:41] <unska_> =)
[12:41] <unop> unska_,  actually -- screen complains that it needs to be connected to a terminal when used with ssh .. so, i dont think it is possible
[12:41] <jrib> selinuxium: in the past there were some hiccups, but more recently I haven't seen any problems with them.  They seem to have gotten the process down :)
[12:41] <unska_> unop, damn =/
[12:41] <unska_> well i guess i have to do it manually then
[12:41] <unop> unska_,  run screen from within ~/.profile on the remote machine tho :)
[12:42] <unska_> =)
[12:42] <unop> unska_,  http://www.snailbook.com/faq/no-passphrase.auto.html
[12:43] <mneptok> passwordless ssh keys are THE DEVIL!
[12:43] <ucordes> can somebody help with my problem described above?
[12:44] <ucordes> mneptok: you serious? i thought password files are more save
[12:44] <mneptok> please, don't set your machine up to become an open spam realy and botgarage simply to save yourself a few keystrokes every day.
[12:44] <unska_> hehe thanks
[12:44] <unop> mneptok,  only if your keyfile is available to the world
[12:45] <mneptok> unop: oh right. of course. no data has EVER been taken off a machine without the owner's knowledge ;)
[12:45] <unop> mneptok,  that really has nothing to do with ssh now, does it? :)
[12:45] <ucordes> unop: sure it does
[12:45] <finn> does anybody know the filebrowser in http://www.boxwhore.org/modules/wfdownloads/images/screenshots/screenshot-2.png
[12:46] <finn> and if it's a good one?
[12:46] <mneptok> unop: it *does* have to do with passwordless keys being a giant security risk.
[12:47] <mneptok> finn: looks like Nautilus to me
[12:47] <unop> ucordes,  mneptok -- if you let someone take data off of your machine, then ssh keys are probably the last thing you want to be worried about
[12:47] <ardchoille> finn: Looks like nautilus with some things turned off.
[12:47] <finn> ok, thanks
[12:47] <soundray> unop: to change the VGA mode on the ttys, you have to boot with a vga= command line option
[12:47] <unop> soundray,  eh?
[12:47] <erUSUL> !info expect
[12:47] <soundray> ucordes: to change the VGA mode on the ttys, you have to boot with a vga= command line option
[12:47] <soundray> sorry unop
[12:47] <ubotu> expect: A program that can automate interactive applications. In component main, is optional. Version 5.43.0-6 (edgy), package size 274 kB, installed size 520 kB
[12:47] <mneptok> unop: dude, do you think data gets comprmised only when an owner "lets" it?
[12:47] <unop> soundray,  no worries :)
[12:47] <jenda> any other CLI web browsers than Lynks?
[12:48] <occasus> links
[12:48] <mneptok> jenda: w3m
[12:48] <occasus> or lynx :P
[12:48] <mneptok> jenda: it's in Main
[12:48] <unop> mneptok,  now really, this is way beyond the scope of SSH
[12:48] <mneptok> unop: no, it's not.
[12:48] <ucordes> soundray: in the /boot/grub/menu.lst? and how can i find out the right mode to set?
[12:48] <ucordes> jenda: links2
[12:49] <mneptok> unop: trust me. i've been doing this stuff for years. no sane sysadmin allows passwordless ssh keys.
[12:49] <erUSUL> finn: given that it is used with fluxbox i bet it is ROX Filler
[12:49] <soundray> ucordes: add it to the #kopt= line
[12:49] <unop> mneptok,  heh, i guess you have never needed to ssh from within a script then
[12:49] <jenda> mneptok, ucordes, thanks.
[12:49] <soundray> ucordes: there is a table somewhere in the kernel docs, hold on...
[12:49] <mneptok> unop: you ID for the key at login.
[12:50] <unop> mneptok,  i mean non-interactively
[12:50] <mneptok> unop: man ssh-agent
[12:50] <ucordes> temperature:             65 C mit frei zugnglichen lftungsschlitzen
[12:51] <ucordes> soundray: k thanks
[12:51] <soundray> ucordes: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt
[12:52] <unop> mneptok,  lol errm, and nothing has ever been taken from ssh-agent, right?
[12:52] <mneptok> unop: huh?
[12:52] <mneptok> unop: that makes no sense
[12:54] <steel_lady> I don't know what is happening, I don't have right clik any more?!!!
[12:54] <unska_> where could be the problem, vlc player is not printing all the subtitles, it prints like every 10th line =/
[12:54] <unska_> but the subtitle file has all the subtitles
[12:54] <ardchoille> steel_lady: on the desktop or anywhere?
[12:54] <unska_> and fps etc is set correctly
[12:54] <Boknoy> where can i get free cd and free shipping here in davao city, philippines?
[12:54] <Morrissey> Hi, can anyone confirm that kde-look.org is down please?
[12:55] <steel_lady> ardochiolle, anywhere!
[12:55] <ardchoille> Morrissey: All of the 222.*-look.org are down.
[12:55] <soundray> Morrissey: confirmed
[12:55] <unska_> can you tell me another player that can play subtitles so i can test if they work
[12:55] <jrib> Boknoy: shipit.ubuntu.com maybe
[12:55] <Morrissey> ardchoille, thanks ... do you know the reason?
[12:55] <ardchoille> Morrissey: kde-look.org, gnome-look.org, xfce-look.org are all of the same owner
[12:55] <ardchoille> Morrissey: No, I, but I hope they come back up soon.. I need some stuff.
[12:56] <Morrissey> same here
[12:56] <soundray> !shipit | Boknoy
[12:56] <ubotu> Boknoy: shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will not send Edgy (6.10) CDs, but only Dapper (6.06) CDs, as Dapper is a !LTS release.
[12:56] <ardchoille> steel_lady: Ouch!
[12:56] <ucordes> soundray: vga mode i need is one with the res 1280x800 which i unfortunately i can't find in the guide you handed out. any idea where i could find this?
[12:56] <ucordes> -i
[12:56] <MarcoPau> is there any way to enable audio mixing?
[12:57] <MarcoPau> or sharing... dunno the proper name
[12:57] <soundray> ucordes: no, I don't think that's a vesa mode.
[12:57] <occasus> MarcoPau: AOSS?
[12:57] <steel_lady> ardchiolle, is there any hope??? is it the mouse problem or software?
[12:57] <jrib> MarcoPau: playing more than one sound at once?  That should work by default, but some apps (the ones that use oss) will hog the sound card
[12:57] <ucordes> soundray: any way to list those vesa modes?
[12:58] <soundray> ucordes: at boot, if you enter 'vga=scan'
[12:58] <ardchoille> steel_lady: If you have another mouse, you can switch them and see. I don't know.
[12:58] <MarcoPau> the thing that annoies me the most is flash player. that'll keep the audio device busy even if shut
[12:58] <Morrissey> btw, does anyone have a problem with the latest radeon/fglrx drivers wich was updated through repos? I just get a blank screen
[12:58] <soundray> ucordes: I would recommend 1024x768@64k for your screen, ie. vga=0x317
[12:58] <occasus> MarcoPau: one thing i tried was AOSS, and set that as my default device, alsa then handles the mixing
[12:59] <ucordes> soundray: the point is, that with the standard settings my X freezes when i try to logout, shutdown, reboot or change to tty mode
[12:59] <soundray> Morrissey: check that you have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic
[12:59] <Morrissey> thanks soundray
[01:00] <steel_lady> it's the mouse :-(
[01:00] <MarcoPau> occasus: where do I have to set it?
[01:00] <jrib> MarcoPau: if you use flash9 it will use alsa
[01:00] <soundray> ucordes: I had the same problem with an older kernel. vga=0x317 fixed it (this was on a 1400x1050 screen)
[01:01] <occasus> MarcoPau: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=44155#44155
[01:01] <jrib> !flash9 | MarcoPau
[01:01] <ubotu> MarcoPau: Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash
[01:01] <ucordes> soundray: ah that sounds good then. i'll give it a try. thanks for your help so far

[01:01] <okias> Hi i need help: i have sda1(2GB) and sda5(ntfs rw, 220GB) i need make link from /home(sda1) to /media/data/home(sda5). thanks(sry my english is bad)
[01:01] <sh4rm4> how can I enable WEP on my eth1 ?
[01:02] <ucordes> soundray: fglrx
[01:02] <ucordes> no problems with ati
[01:03] <soundray> ucordes: interesting, on my present machine I had the same with ati, but not fglrx (have since disabled the integrated video and bought an nvidia card ;)
[01:03] <Morrissey> okias, you could make a symlink ... ln -s
[01:04] <MattJ> unop: Still here?
[01:04] <unop> MattJ,  yep
[01:04] <MattJ> This PC is a dual-boot with Windows
[01:04] <MattJ> Guess what? Windows bluescreens on startup :)
[01:05] <unop> MattJ, ouch, what does it say?
[01:05] <soundray> okias: it's a bad idea to store /home data on an NTFS-formatted partition
[01:05] <MattJ> DRIVER_IRQL_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL or something like that
[01:05] <okias> i know, but exist any tool to convert 220GB ntfs to ext2/3? :-(
[01:06] <soundray> okias: backup, format, restore
[01:06] <MattJ> Also, when I was shutting down Ubuntu to reboot, I noticed a line from startup, it went domething like "Invalid PCI header at <address>, ignoring"
[01:06] <unop> MattJ,  sounsd like the device has died :(
[01:06] <MattJ> I think so too :(
[01:06] <okias> soundray: and: my ntfs partition surviving long time... :-)
[01:06] <unop> sounds*
[01:07] <MattJ> I'll hunt around, see if I can find another, and swap it
[01:07] <MattJ> or maybe swap PCI slots first
[01:07] <okias> soundtray: yes, you can send me any next 250GB hdd? :-D
[01:07] <unop> MattJ, yep, i'd try that -- but it's unlikely to help
[01:07] <yaman> need a tutorial for setting devices drivers ]
[01:07] <soundray> MattJ: also, check whether your BIOS setup has an option for resetting ESCSD data
[01:08] <unop> okias,  why dont you have a link in your /home folder that points to this NTFS partition?
[01:08] <MattJ> Hmm, I've just been there, didn't see that but I guess it is somewhere
[01:08] <ikonia> yaman: what do you mean setting device drivers ?
[01:08] <soundray> MattJ: not every setup offers it, unfortunately
[01:08] <MattJ> soundray: It does :)
[01:08] <MattJ> Remove the battery
[01:09] <MattJ> lol
[01:09] <unop> okias,  something like this maybe - ln -s /media/data/home ~/ntfs
[01:09] <okias> unop: thx, i try
[01:10] <MattJ> brb (I hope) :)

[01:18] <conash> I tried with Synaptics and it says everythin
[01:18] <conash> is ok
[01:19] <unop> conash,  so this popup has nothing to do with synaptic?
[01:19] <conash> no
[01:19] <sacater> you know how there is a gconf-editor is there one for xfce
[01:20] <unop> conash,  hmm, what causes this error to popup? do you do anything for it to popup? or is it automatic? if so, does it go away? does it come back, etc?
[01:20] <yaman> ikonia: do you have vnc ??
[01:20] <conash> when I hoover with the mouse over the orange square it appears
[01:20] <LeNoube> can someone tell me the name of a graphic tool that executes SFTP for gnome?
[01:20] <ikonia> no
[01:21] <unop> conash,  errm, what orange square is this?
[01:21] <conash> I updated and had to restart, it took pretty much so I shut the computer down manually
[01:21] <unop> LeNoube,  nautilus-connect-server ??
[01:22] <conash> probably this caused the problem
[01:22] <li_> where i can change encoding at X-chat-GNOME ?
[01:22] <LeNoube> unop, thank you that helped alot =) i didnt know that nautilus had it. thanks
[01:22] <coz_> is there an effective way to disable the .recently-used

[01:23] <unop> conash,  hmm, probably .. if you tell me what that orange square corresponds to maybe we could reinstall the application responsible for it
[01:23] <Morrissey> Hi! I have just upgraded my fglrx drivers, and upgraded to the latest beryl from repos (not svn) ... but now I only get a white screen, I can rotate the cube and all, but its all white. I can see the frames of open programs, but my entire screen's white .. any ideas?
[01:24] <unop> yaman,  does ifconfig -a detect this WIC ?
[01:24] <yaman> unop yeah it says this is eth1
[01:24] <conash> I think it is the package manager, when I booted a popup came out from the square saying that updates are ready to install
[01:25] <eMish_> How can I print list of files (a la 'dpkg -L' of the package that's not installed ?
[01:25] <unop> yaman,  does eth1 have an IPAddress now?
[01:25] <yaman> no
[01:25] <conash> so I clicked it, the update begun and then I was told to restart

[01:28] <MUTU> How do I create an APT line for http://mt.archive.ubuntu.com please?
[01:28] <yaman> unop: i don't know this command , but i used  wlassistant and it said no devices found
[01:29] <unop> yaman,  try the command
[01:29] <yaman> unop, it give me this too fast eth1      No scan results
[01:30] <unop> yaman,  from what i can see -- eth1 does not appear to be a WIC
[01:30] <unop> yaman,  are you absolutely sure it is one?
[01:30] <soundray> MUTU: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and replace the *.archive.* URLs with yours
[01:30] <seravitae> Anyone have any idea why i can ping sites fine, but all HTTP sites will say 'connection refused' instantly at least 29 out of 30 times?
[01:30] <coz_> yaman, what is on that link that you need to have it in the surces list?
[01:31] <unop> seravitae,  can you nslookup hosts at the command line .. e.g. nslookup google.co.jp
[01:31] <yaman> unop: yeah i am sure , it's not only about the wifi the bisoncam and the modem still having problem i don;t know y asus don't have linux support for it's drivers
[01:31] <CapRiCoRN^80> anyone help me ?
[01:31] <seravitae> unop: yup works fine
[01:31] <seravitae> im browsing sites fine
[01:31] <seravitae> it'll be like every 30 minutes for 10 minutes, a few times a day or something.
[01:31] <conash> how about conash?

[01:32] <coz_> CapRiCoRN^80, what is the problem someone will be able to help
[01:32] <seravitae> where i just have to keep refreshing till it goes again.
[01:32] <soundray> CapRiCoRN^80: nobody here seems to know at the moment. Ask again in an hour or so when different people will have logged on.
[01:32] <unop> seravitae,  well, its those 10 minutes of the day that i'm concerned about :)
[01:32] <coz_> yaman, I thught you needed the line for the sources list of that link , sorry if it wasn't you

[01:33] <seravitae> its *just* http. irc doesnt get interrupted or anything.
[01:33] <MUTU> thanks guys
[01:33] <soundray> seravitae: are you behind a transparent web proxy?
[01:33] <unop> seravitae, probably a browser issue then, have you tried another browser?
[01:33] <MarcoPau> nothing changes, firefox will keep the sound device busy
[01:34] <seravitae> unop, no the same thing occurs when i go to a term and telnet www.whateversite.com 80
[01:34] <seravitae> it will go connection refused instantly
[01:34] <unop> yaman,  what does iwconfig list .. please !pastebin
[01:34] <okias> sudo ln -s /media/data/home /home /ok, working, and after restart stay?
[01:34] <seravitae> if i do it like 50 times, eventually it connects, then i jump into my browser and it works too.
[01:34] <unop> okias,  yes
[01:34] <okias> great :-) thx unop
[01:35] <yaman> i don't know what pastebin :P
[01:35] <unop> okias,  errrm, that wasnt a smart thing to do tho
[01:35] <unop> !pastebin | yaman
[01:35] <ubotu> yaman: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:35] <unop> okias,  what did you link to /home .. ???
[01:36] <unop> okias,  i didnt even give you that command .. bahh
[01:36] <okias> unop: /media/data/home(ntfs-rw) is now /home
[01:37] <soundray> oh dear
[01:37] <unop> okias,  you were told that housing your /home directory on a ntfs partition is not a good thing to do
[01:37] <yaman> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5708/plain/
[01:37] <unop> okias,  and your home folder probably doesnt exist as /media/data/home/$USER
[01:37] <okias> unop: i know...
[01:38] <Flamekebab> Does anyone have experience using TV-out under Edgy, on an nVidia card?
[01:38] <okias> unop: i copy users to new destination
[01:38] <soundray> Flamekebab: no, but I remember where it's documented
[01:38] <unop> yaman,  errm, can you also pastebin the contents of /etc/network/interface please
[01:38] <loca|host> how to not to permit users to do: "sudo passwd root" on a basic ubuntu install ?
[01:38] <Flamekebab> soundray, that'd be handy
[01:38] <MarcoPau> what's alsa-plugins in ubuntu? libasoun2-plugins?
[01:39] <MarcoPau> sound*
[01:39] <soundray> Flamekebab: sec
[01:39] <okias> and after, delete all /home...
[01:39] <yaman> ok one min
[01:39] <Flamekebab> I'm trying to get it to let me use my TV as another monitor, but NOT with twinview (although that seems to work)
[01:39] <okias> *unop:
[01:39] <unop> okias,  and you using ntfs-3g?
[01:39] <loca|host> in other way, how to revoke root password changing to simple users ?
[01:39] <okias> working good... :-)
[01:39] <ardchoille> loca|host: If they're not in sudoers, then they can't use sudo anyway
[01:39] <soundray> Flamekebab: /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/README.txt.gz
[01:39] <okias> unop: yes :-)
[01:39] <unop> okias,  why don't you just mount /home on /media/data/home directly then?
[01:40] <loca|host> ardchoille, i want them to use sudo for root commands (apt-get, dpkg ...) except changing root's password
[01:40] <soundray> Flamekebab: you want to run a separate X server for the TV?
[01:40] <unop> okias,  you probably will confuse /etc/fstab now if it already has an entry for /home as /home is now a link and not a directory
[01:40] <yaman> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5711/plain/
[01:41] <Flamekebab> soundray, pretty much
[01:41] <Flamekebab> I want to have my desktop as normal
[01:41] <Flamekebab> but also be able to view videos on my TV
[01:41] <okias> unop: i have hdd sda5 on only /media/data home is folder...
[01:41] <MattJ> woot, it works :D
[01:41] <ardchoille> loca|host: Why don't you want them chaning that? If they have sudo rights, they can do "sudo rm -rf /" if they wanted, and they don't need to log in to do that.
[01:41] <soundray> Flamekebab: try Appendix H then
[01:42] <MattJ> I just switched it to another PCI slot
[01:42] <Flamekebab> soundray, I'll take a look
[01:42] <unop> okias,  in that case, you dont need /home linking to /media/data/home yet again .. remove the link and remake the directory -- sudo sh -c "rm /home; mkdir /home"
[01:42] <unop> MattJ,  nice :d :)
[01:43] <unop> yaman,  is yamo a valid ESSID?
[01:43] <darkstar> How can I install system-wide available themes for gnome?
[01:43] <loca|host> ardchoille, :]
[01:43] <unop> yaman,  in otherwords, is "yamo" the name of your wireless network as set on the router?
[01:43] <ardchoille> darkstar: unpack the theme into /usr/share/themes if it's a gtk2 or metacity theme.
[01:43] <okias> unop: in fstab i can use only devices like /dev/sda5 /media/data, not /media/data/home /home?
[01:44] <yaman> unop: this was my ap name it's ryt
[01:44] <loca|host> ardchoille, ok so, need to grant privilege to apt-get install, wget and dpkg only
[01:44] <darkstar> thanks ardochille.
[01:44] <eike> irc://irc.freenode.net/ruby-lang
[01:45] <eike> arg :)
[01:45] <yaman> unop: now i am not using it but any way i can't  make search for any ap ??? i thought it should give me a list for the wifi aps near me ?? but i can't get any thing
[01:45] <unop> okias,  /home must be a directory if /home is mentioned in /etc/fstab .. right now, it is not a directory, it is a link .. please remove link and make /home as a directory
[01:46] <darkstar> ardochille gnome look would be the source for themes, right?
[01:46] <shinoda_> ?
[01:46] <okias> unop: i dont have /home in fstab... :-)
[01:46] <ardchoille> loca|host: So they can "sudo dpkg -i my_custom_su_with_a_back_door.deb"? I am trying to get you to think about whther or not these folks actually need sudo privs or not. Are they trustworthy?
[01:46] <yaman> unop: b4 3 days i couldn't get the wic activate but after i read a long tutorial i got it activate but the list is empty no connection
[01:46] <Shaffox> i have killed my bars, how can i start them again?
[01:46] <Shaffox> which command do i have to use ?
[01:47] <unop> yaman,  yea, for some reason tho, it says your Access point is invalid ... that doesnt sound good
[01:47] <ardchoille> loca|host: BTW, you're talking to a security zealot, lol
[01:47] <loca|host> :D
[01:48] <unop> okias,  /home as a link is not safe, especially if the target name changes -- please make /home in /etc/fstab :)
[01:49] <okias> unop: you can give me line?
[01:49] <Shaffox> how can i have my bars back ?
[01:49] <fiberchunks> so following tseliots blog instructions, the only available nvidia driver for me is 7174? Seems odd, or am I missing something
[01:49] <battlesquid> my ubuntu 6.10 server (not installed using server option) keeps falling in and out of connection. what can i do to diagnose/fix the problem?
[01:49] <okias> unop: in fstab: /dev/sda5/home /home ntfs-3g ?
[01:50] <MattJ> Shaffox: I don't know, is it maybe gnome-panel?
[01:50] <Shaffox> i use gnome yes
[01:51] <battlesquid> the problem occurs while being logged in to the server using ssh from forwarded port 22 from the router..
[01:51] <Shaffox> i mean the bars with system, administration on
[01:51] <valehru> hey guys, how can I check if IPV6 is completely turned off?
[01:52] <Pici> Shaffox: I think the applet is called main menu, with an ubuntu icon
[01:52] <Dave> Hi All,  What I want to do is have two hard drives on my pc, one for windows and the other for ubuntu.  I plug in the second hard drive which is from an old PC and when booting the pc up with both in, it say please insert recovery disk (or soemthing along them lines).  I assume this means it is reading the hard drive i have just put it (from the old computer since there is nothing on it). ...
[01:52] <Dave> ...but it doesn't give me any options for it to boot using the hard drive which can standard with the pc with windows on.  i was wondering if i insert the ubunutu disk it won't damage my windows install?
[01:52] <valehru> as in is there a way of testing if IPV6 Is turned off?
[01:52] <ardchoille> valehru: ip a | grep inet6  <-- if that returns nothing, then ipv6 is diabled.
[01:53] <valehru> ardchoille, thanks....is that an Irish name ya have there?
[01:53] <frogzoo> !ipv6 | valehru
[01:53] <ubotu> valehru: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[01:53] <ucordes> anybody will see soundray today?
[01:53] <ardchoille> valehru: Close, it's Scottish Gaelic "Ard Choille".
[01:53] <valehru> frogzoo, have it disabled, just wanted to make sure...
[01:53] <mianos> re
[01:54] <valehru> ardchoille, thought so....
[01:54] <ardchoille> valehru: :)
[01:54] <mianos> hey guys, i'm running feisty, today apt-get upgrades my kernel and now my bcm4306 based wifi doesnt work anymore
[01:54] <MattJ> battlesquid: Try using ssh with the -o TCPKeepAlive option
[01:54] <mianos> [  623.444000]  bcm43xx: YOUR FIRMWARE IS TOO OLD. Firmware from binary drivers older than version 4.x is unsupported. You must upgrade your firmware files.
[01:55] <mianos> but where can i get an updated firmware file?
[01:55] <battlesquid> MattJ, on the client side upon connecting?
[01:55] <MattJ> Yes
[01:55] <ucordes> mianos: erm there is a list with drivers in the manpage i fink
[01:55] <Dave> can anyone assist me in setting ubuntu up on a second hard drive in the pc so i still have my windows one working so i have two options when booting my pc :- windows or ubuntu?  are there any documents or sites about this?
[01:56] <ardchoille> ucordes: You "fink"?
[01:56] <mianos> the driver works ucordes
[01:56] <mianos> but it needs a newer firmware
[01:56] <mianos> the package bcm43xx-firmware is installed
[01:56] <MattJ> battlesquid: on the other hand, I don't know
[01:56] <MattJ> battlesquid: man ssh_config says it is on by default already
[01:56] <someone> help pls I have a ntfs windows partition and I need some dates from it
[01:56] <ucordes> mianos: sorry i meant there is a list of firmwares
[01:57] <mianos> hm
[01:57] <ucordes> mianos: man bcm43xx-firmware ?
[01:57] <battlesquid> MattJ, one would assume that, i agree. also it never was neccasary before
[01:57] <MattJ> battlesquid: Look at ServerAliveInterval instead
[01:57] <MattJ> battlesquid: I'm only working on the assumption that it is the router dropping an idle connection
[01:57] <someone> can someone help me ?
[01:57] <saelynh>  /hellp
[01:57] <someone> pls:)
[01:57] <MattJ> battlesquid: Do you think it is?
[01:58] <MattJ> someone: What do you mean, you need dates?

[01:58] <saelynh> sry, I just make a test under irssi :X
[01:58] <battlesquid> MattJ, i don't know, it's hard for me to say when i don't know how to diagnose the problem..
[01:58] <someone> i want to mount ntfs partition
[01:59] <someone> Mattj: I want to mount a ntfs partition in Ubuntu
[01:59] <Anti-Tedd> someone, it should already be mounted
[01:59] <Anti-Tedd> Shouldn't it?
[01:59] <MattJ> someone: Look in /media
[01:59] <Anti-Tedd> I mean, ubuntu has always detected and automounted my other partitions.
[02:00] <battlesquid> MattJ, but no, i don't think that's the case. i haven't experienced this before and i have been working on the server at least for 15 minutes without any connection problems
[02:00] <Anti-Tedd> And it has NTFS support now, since like august
[02:00] <MattJ> Hmm
[02:00] <someone> Mattj: no ... it`s not mounted ...

[02:05] <crolle17> can anybody give me a link, from where i can download the packages for creating a offline package installation cd?
[02:06] <crolle17> i mean i repository for nearly all packages
[02:06] <battlesquid> MattJ, i'm working on some files on the server and it seems that the problem occurs when i access the disk, "ls -l" and :w in vim causes unresponsiveness - both are disk operations... what happens is the caret freezes and keyboard becomes unresponsive for like 30 secs. so the connection might as well be fine, hard to tell.
[02:06] <BugMaker> anybody know what is rusian ununtu-chanel?
[02:07] <MattJ> !ru | BugMaker

[02:09] <Pici> crolle17: I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but http://packages.ubuntu.com has all the packages in a place where you can download them
[02:09] <tomix> im trying to add a 3rd party repos using synaptic but when i got to settings > repositories > it brings up a window called software prefernces and there is no 3rd party tab infact it not even the right window according to the guide I have read. Any ideas?
[02:10] <frogzoo> GMWeezel: change /etc/hostname & update /etc/hosts
[02:10] <crolle17> Pici ahh, it seems to be the right url... ;)
[02:10] <newbie001> hello, does anyone had any problems printing with an hp 1022?
[02:10] <GMWeezel> frogzoo: thanks.
[02:11] <tarin> hello.
[02:12] <tarin> hello?
[02:12] <frogzoo> tarin:
[02:12] <tarin> hi there
[02:12] <tarin> I'm glad someone is still up
[02:12] <tarin> I was wondering if someone could help me with a few questions
[02:13] <sk2> .
[02:13] <sk2> If I add an entry to  /usr/share/xsessions/, it doesn't show up in the GDM menu when I log out. Is there somewhere I am going wrong?
[02:13] <pawan> hi
[02:14] <pawan> can broadband be accesed using ubuntu livecd
[02:14] <Tomcat_> pawan: Yes.
[02:14] <pawan> how
[02:14] <mwe> someone was asking why /etc/inittab is missing in edgy. It was replaced by /etc/event.d/ when the new 'upstart' package was introduced, I believe.
[02:14] <newbie001> how can I reset the printer configuration to the installation default?
[02:14] <sk2> pawan what form of broadband?
[02:14] <pawan> adsl
[02:15] <Capricorn^800> ...
[02:15] <pawan> DSL
[02:16] <mwe> pawan: If your card is supported it should work out of the box I think
[02:16] <tarin> does the 6.06 version of ubuntu have kde initially or would i have to add it later?
[02:16] <sk2> tarin... kubuntu?
[02:16] <mwe> pawan: asuming DHCP
[02:16] <catalytic> hi all
[02:16] <pawan> I HAVE BUITL IN LAN CARD
[02:16] <pawan> BUILT
[02:16] <catalytic> how come whenever i use unzip -d it never retains flie permissions?
[02:16] <tarin> no, i just downloaded ubuntu 6.06
[02:16] <pawan> INTEL MOTHERBOARD
[02:16] <Pici> !caps
[02:16] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[02:17] <sk2> pawan how about trying it? livecd should do it all automatically...
[02:17] <catalytic> i have tried -K and -X
[02:17] <pawan> how to create the new connection
[02:18] <sk2> pawan have you even tried browsing?
[02:18] <tarin> can i dual boot ubuntu in windows?
[02:18] <catalytic> yes tarin
[02:18] <vanlinx> wats the best PCI wireless card to use with edgy?
[02:18] <pawan> no
[02:18] <catalytic> read up on GRUB
[02:18] <tarin> awesome
[02:18] <tarin> me?
[02:18] <sk2> pawan try it first?
[02:18] <catalytic> yes you
[02:18] <pawan> how
[02:18] <tarin> ah
[02:18] <BugMaker> hi all. i have a problem with resolution. LCD monitor supports 1280*1024 but ubuntu set it to 1024*768 only. I was add to file xorg.conf new resolution (1280*1024) it not take effect...
[02:18] <stylus> pawan, boot off the livecd
[02:18] <sk2> tarin, by default it should setup dual boot
[02:18] <mwe> pawan: open the browser
[02:18] <pawan> ok
[02:18] <sk2> pawan what have you done?
[02:19] <tarin> so i can install it without overwriting windows?
[02:19] <catalytic> eys
[02:19] <catalytic> yes
[02:19] <pawan> but it is not getting connected to the net
[02:19] <tarin> it does it automaticly?
[02:19] <catalytic> as long as you have antoher partitoin
[02:19] <tarin> ok
[02:19] <catalytic> partition
[02:19] <sk2> tarin: yes, just make sure with the partition manager that you don't nuke your windows partitions and you will be fine
[02:19] <stylus> tarin, you may need to resize your windows partition to create space
[02:19] <paul_world10> :}
[02:19] <tarin> i dont follow
[02:20] <finalbeta> Take backups, resizing , splitting partitions ain't very safe, especially with partitionmagic
[02:20] <tarin> you mean clear some space
[02:20] <eric__> After deleting the original user account, I created a new account and then added it to the "root" group - now when I start the computer, I get a terminal login, not GDM - how do I fix this?
[02:20] <sk2> you need to create another "drive" like in windows to put linux on
[02:20] <Capricorn^800> ...
[02:20] <eric__> I can't sudo, either. :/
[02:20] <mwe> tarin: as long as you don't explicitly delete the windows partition it will stay
[02:20] <sk2> eric__: you can only sudo if you're in the sudoers group
[02:20] <misterfamous> how do I change directories in the terminal and which directory is the desktop? I need to run the Flash installer
[02:20] <BugMaker> can somebody help me?
[02:20] <tarin> oh yeah, no doubt
[02:21] <mwe> !helpme | BugMaker
[02:21] <ubotu> BugMaker: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:21] <sk2> BugMaker: of course not. gee
[02:21] <catalytic> how can i extract from zip and retain file permissions?
[02:21] <eric__> misterfamous, just use apt-get to install flash
[02:21] <BugMaker> i have a problem with resolution. LCD monitor supports 1280*1024 but ubuntu set it to 1024*768 only. I was add to file xorg.conf new resolution (1280*1024) it not take effect...
[02:21] <jussi01> BUgMaker: Whats your problem?
[02:21] <sk2> I guess my question re GDM sessions is a bit too advanced :/
[02:21] <tarin> so... 1. create new partition 2. install ubuntu 3.???? 4.PROFIT
[02:21] <mwe> catalytic: use sudo
[02:21] <catalytic> i did, doesnt keep them
[02:22] <catalytic> i tried the -K and -X switches
[02:22] <misterfamous> ooh yeah, better idea - thanks eric__
[02:22] <catalytic> but i end up havnig to go in and manually chmod all the dir's and files
[02:22] <mwe> catalytic: odd.
[02:22] <jussi01> BugMaker: what video card do you have?
[02:22] <mwe> catalytic: zip or gzip?
[02:22] <catalytic> zip
[02:22] <mwe> hmm
[02:22] <eric__> misterfamous, to answer your question "cd" changes directories, "~" is your home folder ( /home/<username> ) - and "~/Desktop" is your desktop ( /home/<username>/Desktop )
[02:22] <catalytic> its a template file for phpbb2
[02:22] <BugMaker> GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM)
[02:23] <tarin> but i wont be able to use beryl if i run livedisk right?
[02:23] <eric__> misterfamous, "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"
[02:23] <misterfamous> thanks eric
[02:23] <tarin> i would have to install it?
[02:23] <tarin> as a whole
[02:23] <eric__> I think you might need some repositories enabled, not sure.
[02:23] <mwe> catalytic: does zip support unix users and groups and perms?
[02:23] <BugMaker> jussi01: GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM)
[02:23] <LjL> tarin: i think so. it might be possible to get beryl running on the live cd... but i guess it's more complicated than it's worth. perhaps try the Kororaa live cd if you want to test beryl from a CD?
[02:24] <cjsoftuk> Problem: emerald reports: Could not acquire decoration manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0"
[02:24] <cjsoftuk> hwo do I solve that
[02:24] <jussi01> try running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:24] <catalytic> well it works on other os's just upping the zip file to the server
[02:24] <stylus> livedisk == livecd? Then nope..
[02:24] <stylus> You'd prolly need to install ubuntu before you could get beryl up and running properly.
[02:24] <eric__> After deleting the original user account, I created a new account and then added it to the "root" group - now when I start the computer, I get a terminal login, not GDM - how do I fix this?
[02:24] <catalytic> not sure
[02:24] <tarin> thanks ljl. I'm just not down with downloading another iso right now
[02:24] <catalytic> is there a phpbb2 # on freenode?
[02:24] <tarin> i might mess around with what i got right now
[02:24] <eric__> Beryl will run on a LiveCD - but it won't be permanent, obviously.
[02:24] <LjL> eric__, accounts that must have administrative rights should be added to group "admin", *not* to group "root"
[02:25] <LjL> !adduser > eric__    (eric__, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:25] <eric__> catalytic, #phpbb
[02:25] <mwe> catalytic: I don't think it does. I'm not really into the details of phpBB but maybe it just works (TM)
[02:25] <CapRiCoRN^80> any one there how has installed ubuntu on sun blade 150 ?
[02:25] <eric__> LjL, thanks - rebooting into recovery console to fix that
[02:25] <eric__> how do I remove a user from a group?
[02:25] <LjL> eric__: deluser <user> <group>. anyway i'd also have a look manually at /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and make sure there's not something very messed up
[02:26] <tarin> so... let me ask a really dumb question... after inserting the cd, i would select "start or install ubuntu" and then it should install right?
[02:26] <LjL> eric__: make sure the primary group of your user is the group with the same name as the user, for starters -- and also that root is number 0 both as a user and as a group
[02:26] <jhaig> tarin: It boots up into a live system, from where you can install it.
[02:26] <gusto5> tarin: right
[02:26] <Pici> tarin: No, it would just start the 'Live' portion of the system
[02:26] <LjL> tarin: no, it should *start*. it will install if you click on the icon.
[02:27] <gusto5> assuming you have 6.06 or later.
[02:27] <gusto5> distro version
[02:27] <LjL> which you most definitely should
[02:27] <tarin> yeah... ok see thats the problem
[02:27] <LjL> if you have Breezy, get Dapper instead
[02:27] <gusto5> you have 5.04/5.10?
[02:27] <tarin> i hit start or install ubuntu
[02:27] <Pici> !enter
[02:27] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:27] <LjL> but if it says "Start or install Ubuntu", it means it's at least Dapper, anyway
[02:27] <tarin> and it just loads and loads and loads
[02:28] <stylus> tarin, it takes ages
[02:28] <tarin> and then it stops and kida glitches
[02:28] <LjL> tarin: do you see the CD drive reading, or does it stop at some time?
[02:28] <tarin> no it keeps reading
[02:28] <zyth> well, no binary drivers in feisty apparently.
[02:28] <LjL> tarin: either try another CD drive, or try the alternate CD... it tends to be more reliable, i think
[02:28] <Pici> tarin: What are your system specs, CPU/RAM?
[02:28] <LjL> zyth: that is, there will be no binary drivers by default?
[02:29] <zyth> LjL, yep
[02:29] <stylus> tarin, the same thing happened to me. Make some tea and return and everything should have loaded. :-)
[02:29] <stylus> The install itself wasn't slow though./
[02:29] <gusto5> LOL
[02:29] <gusto5> sweeeetttt
[02:29] <tarin> 1gig of ram/ 3Ghz
[02:29] <tarin> that should b good right?
[02:29] <tarin> i read it requires 129mb
[02:29] <LjL> tarin, yes - i suspect it's a problem with the CD drive, from your description of the very long loading
[02:30] <stylus> gusto5?
[02:30] <Pici> tarin: Yes, that 'should' be fine, but then again the LiveCD doesnt always work with all systems
[02:30] <tarin> what about the glitching?
[02:30] <LjL> tarin, well no, the live CD will hardly work with 128megs to be honest. anyway, 1 gig is quite fine
[02:30] <tarin> thanks. i thought so
[02:30] <LjL> tarin: well, explain "glitching"
[02:30] <VincentMX> hi
[02:30] <tarin> ok
[02:30] <gusto5> stylus: the thought of tea is satisfying in the morning, nothing else.
[02:30] <stylus> Ah, I see. *rubs his own tummy*
[02:31] <VincentMX> hi
[02:31] <tarin> it looks like a bunch of lines (green, bluish, etc) and when i use the arrow keys and enter and stuff, it kinda changes and moves an stuff
[02:31] <gusto5> =) sorry, its 8 in the morning.
[02:31] <BugMaker> jussi01: done. reboot?
[02:31] <Paddy_EIRE> i am currently havin a cup meself
[02:31] <tarin> all the while the splash screen os still there
[02:31] <eric__> LjL, what else might need to be done?
[02:31] <LjL> eric__: i assume this means you had no luck?
[02:31] <jussi01> Bugmaker: ctrl alt backspace should do it - see you in a minute
[02:32] <eric__> LjL, no I'm at the recovery console
[02:32] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone know anything about sound daemons and streaming radio
[02:32] <eric__> Just wondering if there's anything else that needs to be done before I reboot
[02:32] <jussi01> !helpme | Paddy_EIRE
[02:32] <ubotu> Paddy_EIRE: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:32] <LjL> eric__: well, maybe... but it'll probably occur to me just after you've rebooted ;) what does "group yourusername" says anyway?
[02:33] <LjL> eric__: sorry, that's "group*s*"
[02:33] <eric__> Bah - rebooted.  Brought me back to tty1

[02:37] <craigbass1976> I'm not in front of an ubuntu box right now, but this is probably a general linux question anyway...  I have a folder /invoices owned by the invoices user and invoices group.  It is drwxrwx---.  When bob (in the invoices group) makes a file there, joe (also in the invoices group) can't write to it unless I do another chmod -R 770.  How do I fix this?
[02:37] <craigbass1976> something to do wiht umask?

[02:39] <monzie> i am unable to get vmware-player from the repos to work
[02:39] <craigbass1976> zyth, I do that, but it only works for files that are currently in /invoices, not new ones put there by one user or another.
[02:39] <variant> zyth: thanks, I am more pleased to see that proprietry graphics drivers are not to be included in the next release
[02:39] <eric__> Logging in, unable to cd to /home/eric - how can I solve this?
[02:40] <eric__> variant, it would be nice to see fully functional open source drivers. :/
[02:40] <monzie> help please!
[02:40] <monzie> i did an apt-get install vmware-player
[02:40] <monzie> but the config script fails!
[02:40] <zyth> variant, I'm ambivalent, but installing them isn't hard so it's no skin off my nose :)
[02:40] <craigbass1976> eric__, do you own /home/eric?
[02:40] <zyth> I'd prefer if the open source drivers were useful, though
[02:40] <Paddy_EIRE> CrossFire, nice one :)
[02:40] <zyth> unfortunately, they're not.
[02:41] <zyth> craigbass1976, hm
[02:41] <zyth> monzie, try virtualbox.  Unless you really need to run a vmware image.
[02:41] <wmealing_> would anyone be so kind to tell me if ubuntu has the logo programming language available ?
[02:42] <wmealing_> apt-cache search logo , or something to that effect.
[02:42] <craigbass1976> zyth, hmm is right.  I was hmmm-ing at 1:30 this morning trying to set a customer's box
[02:42] <monzie> zyth: i really need to run a virtual image'
[02:42] <zyth>  kturtle - educational Logo programming environment
[02:42] <zyth> right there
[02:43] <monzie> could some one please tell me why the default ubuntu installation is failing?
[02:43] <craigbass1976> Is kturtle like the old apple logo?
[02:43] <variant> zyth: yes, the nouveau driver is making good steady progres.. one of the most effecient irc channels I ahve seen :)
[02:43] <zyth> wmealing_, that'd be a yes.
[02:44] <zyth> variant, I tried the radeon driver... utter crap fps

[02:46] <aalhamad> hi all... i want to know how to connect a satellite receiver to my PC.. and make my pc act as a decoder?
[02:47] <monzie> frogzoo: i need to somehow reinstall vmware-player first
[02:47] <variant> zyth: yes, the 9600 works with the radeon driver but is non optimised.. best support can be had from 9250
[02:47] <aalhamad> plz help me out.. i know its not an easy task to do.. but if you can support me with references .. thanks
[02:47] <zyth> variant, ahh, I see I see.
[02:47] <frogzoo> monzie: oh it's the vware install that's failing?
[02:47] <monzie> frogzoo: yes!
[02:47] <tarin> alright thanks for the help guys. i'll see if i can get it working
[02:48] <frogzoo> monzie: on edgy?
[02:48] <monzie> it is actually not uninstalling properly
[02:48] <variant> aalhamad: here is a point in the right direction: http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=BDK&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=linux+satellite+decoder&spell=1
[02:48] <monzie> frogzoo: yes
[02:48] <zyth> variant, I wanted it to work, since the oss driver supports aiglx
[02:48] <frogzoo> monzie: sudo /etc/init.d/vmware stop  ; then try uninstalling
[02:48] <monzie> frogzoo: i just want to zap the thing of my system and reinstall
[02:48] <wmealing_> zyth, thanks :)
[02:48] <zyth> wmealing_, np
[02:49] <variant> zyth: yeah, how much effort did you put into the driver? you will probably get better results if you use the cvs version and make some effort to optimise it your self
[02:49] <aalhamad> variant, thanks but the conection does it have to be with a video car?
[02:49] <aalhamad> variant, thanks but the conection does it have to be with a video card?
[02:49] <CapRiCoRN^80> any one there how has installed ubuntu on sun blade 150 ?
[02:49] <GarySaved> oh, and I am using Edgy
[02:49] <variant> aalhamad: no, a satellite decoder card
[02:49] <zyth> variant, I just used the one that came with Edgy, I wasn't aware I could grab a newer ver.  Never occured to me
[02:49] <zyth> variant, is there a website for the project?
[02:49] <variant> zyth: yeah, allways worth looking into

[02:51] <rylan> hello, this is the third day of me trying to get my sound to work. i would greatly appreciate someone helping me.
[02:52] <variant> rylan: what is the issue exactly? are you the person I tried to help yesterday but you kept making remarks?
[02:53] <rylan> yes i am. and i wasnt trying to make remarks. i was just getting frustrated.

[02:53] <VincentMX> oops
[02:53] <VincentMX> sorry
[02:53] <variant> rylan: well man, stay cool and I will help you out :)
[02:53] <monzie> frogzoo: i tried deleting some of the vmware things by hand as well
[02:53] <IdleOne> rylan, have you checked out !sound, made sure nothing is muted in the volume control, set to alsa mixer, made sure everything is plugged in ( speakers )?
[02:53] <monzie> frogzoo: now it wont let me uninstall it!
[02:54] <huXfluX> Does anyone know how can i install the "Console" font for Konsole? PLEASE! Thank you!
[02:54] <rylan> yep everything is good there.
[02:54] <GarySaved> variant: All I need is to know where I enable the sound server.  The older versions had a section for it under System.  I can not find it in etch.
[02:54] <monzie> how do i make apt-get forget about my previous installation and ask it to install a fresh copy of vmware-player again?
[02:54] <rylan> that much i figured out on my own.
[02:54] <SoulChild> HELP! Firefox does not open if i click any link???
[02:54] <rylan> the problem i think is that my sound card is... chinese
[02:55] <VincentMX> hi
[02:55] <IdleOne> rylan, they all are :)
[02:55] <variant> rylan: please tell me exactly what sound card you have, in a terminal run the following commands: sudo -i, update-pciids && lspci
[02:55] <rylan> well this one is a chinese one made for chinese people
[02:55] <IdleOne> made in china atleast
[02:55] <variant> rylan: then please put the output here: www.rafb.net/paste
[02:55] <rylan> i will do that again.
[02:55] <VincentMX> i've installed the edubuntu desktop, but some parts of the kde edutainment software and such is in english
[02:56] <VincentMX> edubuntu-desktop even
[02:56] <variant> rylan: and if your talking to me please put my nick at the front sot that it highlights me
[02:56] <rylan> variant ok i will
[02:56] <variant> VincentMX: perhaps not all parts have been translated into your language?
[02:56] <MattJ> rylan: To do that, type vari and press tab
[02:56] <MattJ> :)
[02:57] <rylan> thx.

[02:57] <chris> hello Ubuntu, anyone else here noticed problems with www.gnome-look.org lately?
[02:58] <VincentMX> it's for an elementary school, they don't know english there
[02:58] <variant> VincentMX: i'm sure the projects would like it if you helpt them translate the software.. it\s a big effort thogh
[02:58] <MattJ> IdleOne: :) The tab key is the button above the caps lock
[02:58] <monzie> help!
[02:58] <MattJ> AT least on my keyboard
[02:58] <vlt> variant: Thank you.
[02:58] <VincentMX> variant: nm then
[02:58] <pic_> heya
[02:58] <IdleOne> MattJ, :P I know hehe was just trying to be funny
[02:58] <monzie> sudo apt-get --reinstall vmware-player does not work
[02:58] <variant> VincentMX: yw
[02:58] <MattJ> IdleOne: Thank goodness :)
[02:58] <monzie> can someone please tell me how to install it?
[02:58] <variant> monzie: apt-get isntall --reisntall
[02:58] <vlt> What is the best way to upgrade breezy to edgy? Do I have to update to dapper first?
[02:58] <IdleOne> vlt yes'
[02:58] <variant> vlt: yes, you have to go one to the next
[02:59] <CheshireViking> chris, Just tried gnome-look.org for you, I've got an unable to connect message
[02:59] <IdleOne> vlt, or get a edgy cd and do a fresh install
[02:59] <monzie> variant: i have this package which is corrupted
[02:59] <monzie> i just want apt-get to overwrite everything
[02:59] <rylan> variant, ok i did what you asked, i got the information in the terminal its telling me i have an "intel corporation 82801g (Ich7 family) High definition audio controller (rev 01)
[02:59] <l3m> is there a way to get a list of all the installed packages on a system and use it to install all these packages on a second one? as automated as possible?
[02:59] <chris> CheshireViking: was afraid of that, has been unavailable for over a day now
[02:59] <chris> CheshireViking: ty :)
[02:59] <variant> rylan: cool, thats fairly standard
[02:59] <monzie> variant: how do i make it bejhave as if the previous installation never existed?
[02:59] <CheshireViking> chris, no prob
[03:00] <variant> rylan: please install alsamixer-gui
[03:00] <monzie> variant: i dont want the postinstall script to run
[03:00] <variant> rylan: with apt-get
[03:00] <mzuverink> Can you set up fetchmail to get your mail and then pipe it through spamassassin, and then place it in a maildir or mbox in your home dir so you can check it with thunderbird?
[03:00] <SoulChild> HELP! Firefox does not open if i click any link???
[03:00] <variant> monzie: sorry, don't know off the top of my head
[03:00] <vlt> IdleOne: What about my (ocnfig) data in /home? Can I just copy it? Will KDE (running kubuntu) work then?
[03:00] <rylan> variant, can you dumb that down a touch for me. 3rd day with linux here
[03:00] <vlt> s/ocfig/config/
[03:00] <variant> rylan: type sudo apt-get install alsamixer-gui
[03:00] <monzie> can someone please help me?
[03:01] <IdleOne> vlt, if you do a fresh install you can do a backup of /home and /etc first and then just replace after installation
[03:01] <vlt> IdleOne: thx
[03:01] <huXfluX> Does anyone know how can i install the "Console" font for Konsole? PLEASE! Thank you!
[03:02] <variant> vlt: for future reference it is very strongly advisable to have /home on a seperate partition as you then dont need to format that partition if you reinstall
[03:02] <rylan> variant,  apt-get couldnt find it
[03:02] <vlt> variant: /home actually is on a separate partition ;-)
[03:02] <IdleOne> !universe | rylan
[03:02] <cma> mzuverink: I don't think you can with Thunderbird
[03:02] <ubotu> rylan: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[03:02] <variant> rylan: sorry, thats apt-get install alsamixergui
[03:03] <variant> rylan: there is no -
[03:03] <IdleOne> vlt, than your good to go
[03:03] <IdleOne> vlt just make sure you dont format that partition :)
[03:03] <rylan> variant, thanks
[03:03] <variant> vlt: good stuff
[03:03] <rylan> ill let you know how it works
[03:03] <vlt> variant, IdleOne: My question was rather related to the different program versions and the injection of old config file formats to the newer ones ...
[03:03] <variant> rylan: cool
[03:03] <rylan> variant, will i need a restart?
[03:04] <variant> rylan: no
[03:04] <variant> rylan: just let me know when it has finished installing
[03:04] <mzuverink> cma, I know you cant pipe with thunderbird, hence why I want to use fetchmail.  I think itd be some kind of fetchmail/procmail recipie, but just looking for verification
[03:04] <IdleOne> vlt, I dont see how the configs could differ so much as to make the apps not usable
[03:04] <variant> vlt: there are very little changes to the home directory, i wouldn't worry about it. you might have to re-enter skype details or somesuch
[03:05] <vlt> IdleOne: I just don't _know_ if they're different
[03:05] <rylan> variant, still nothin
[03:05] <variant> rylan: apt-get install alsamixergui doesn't do anything? did it install it?
[03:06] <IdleOne> vlt, probably not . would not make sensde to change the format of configs from one version to next. we would be continuously having to re-enter that info at every update/ upgrade of a app
[03:06] <festerino> ciao
[03:06] <cma> mzuverink: well I really havn't used TB but from what I have seen it dosn't to want to know about local mail spools etc.
[03:07] <rylan> variant, says it was setting up alsamixergui (o.9.0rc2-1-9) . . .
[03:07] <variant> rylan: ok, start playing a song or anything that makes constant noise (a video or whatever). then at the same time run alsamixergui from the command prompt and unmute all the options and set the sliders to the maximum value
[03:07] <mzuverink> cma, sure it does, what real mail client wouldn, it does spools of all sorts
[03:07] <CheshireViking> variant, just asking a dumb question following from something you just mentioned to rylan, if /home is on a seperate partition and I reinstalled ubuntu & I remount my original /home, would that retain things like email settings, firefox favourites etc?
[03:08] <MattJ> CheshireViking: Yes, I do that
[03:08] <rylan> variant,  so what should i type.
[03:08] <MattJ> CheshireViking: It makes life pretty easy when it comes to installing new releases :)
[03:08] <variant> CheshireViking: yes, absolutly
[03:08] <variant> rylan: as i said:
[03:08] <variant> rylan: ok, start playing a song or anything that makes constant noise (a video or whatever). then at the same time run alsamixergui from the command prompt and unmute all the options and set the sliders to the maximum value
[03:08] <huXfluX> Does anyone know how can i install the "Console" font for Konsole? PLEASE! Thank you!
[03:08] <vlt> I'm trying to find the min. system requirements for (K)ubuntu. Will it "run" on a 128 MB RAM machine?
[03:09] <variant> CheshireViking: the only thing is that you will have to select the old profile with the firefox profile manager
[03:09] <rylan> variant, the apt-get install alsamixergui?
[03:09] <cma> mzuverink: hmm! I am interested. How do you get read from /var/mail?
[03:09] <variant> vlt: yes, it will run but will be a bit slow
[03:09] <CheshireViking> MattJ & variant, thanks, something I'll have to remember next time i reinstall which maybe very soon if my hard drive is failing & not just got a corruption that fsck can't fix
[03:09] <jhaig> vlt: You will probably need to install it using the 'alternative' CD rather than the live one.
[03:09] <variant> rylan: I can fix it for you myself if your prepared to give me remote access to your computer, it's up to your self of course. I have done it with a few peopel here before quite successfully
[03:10] <rylan> variant, go ahead.
[03:10] <jhaig> My brother installed it with 128Mb, but he couldn't do it from the live CD.
[03:10] <aldur> !bot resolution
[03:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bot resolution - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:10] <rylan> variant,  you will have to walk me through how to do that
[03:10] <vlt> jhaig: Yes, thank you.
[03:10] <vlt> I think I'll try the update-breezy-to-dapper-to-edgy way ...
[03:10] <aldur> !bot screensize
[03:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bot screensize - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:11] <aldur> !
[03:11] <vlt> Do I just have to replace all breezy with dapper in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[03:11] <aldur> sdf
[03:11] <variant> rylan: ok, you will ahve to follow the following steps: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[03:11] <aldur> !bot screen-resolution
[03:11] <mzuverink> cma, you just choose unix mail spool(movemail) and tell it your box location
[03:11] <rylan> variant, when this is done, if you are ever in shanghai, i am buying you a beer.
[03:11] <variant> rylan: hehe :)
[03:12] <rylan> variant, ok, installed
[03:12] <cma> mzuverink: is that part of that set wizard thing?
[03:12] <mzuverink> cma, yeah
[03:12] <cma> mzuverink: is that part of that setup wizard thing?
[03:12] <variant> rylan: email me your username and password to mr integrity at gmail dot com
[03:12] <variant> rylan: did you get that?
[03:12] <rylan> variant, ok

[03:14] <variant> rylan: all one word
[03:14] <cma> mzuverink: I'll check it out some time. I've only ever used mutt and mail with exim, fetch and co.
[03:14] <rylan> gotit. just making sure
[03:14] <variant> rylan: yep
[03:14] <mzuverink> gotcha
[03:14] <rylan> ok, anything else i have to do from here?
[03:14] <variant> rylan: please note that I am at work.. might be distracted for a couple of minnits here and there
[03:14] <mzuverink> opps, cma, gotcha
[03:14] <variant> rylan: shouldnt be, are you behind a firewall
[03:14] <variant> ?
[03:14] <cma> mzuverink: too late at night :)
[03:15] <rylan> variant, there is a weird chinese router, i dont know how much i can feck with there
[03:15] <variant> rylan: that will probably block my connection.. you can't connect directly?
[03:16] <rylan> nah, shared connection. well perhaps i will have to figure this myself.
[03:16] <rylan> variant, i gotta go.
[03:16] <variant> rylan: np, good luck
[03:16] <rylan> variant, ill be back in 30 min or so
[03:16] <variant> rylan: run alsamixer
[03:16] <variant> klakl;sd
[03:16] <cma> mzuverink: I havn't actually set any of that up on this recent ubuntu install.
[03:16] <mzuverink> cma, I think I might go back to s&c gtk, but mozilla came out with the lightening addon(a calandar like sunbird) whiich integrates nicely, and its not all bloat like evolution, but the spamassassin deal has me by the jewels(family)
[03:18] <mzuverink> cma, currently I am just using gmail to filter spam, their not bad, about 90 %, but that last 10% I would rather not see
[03:18] <cma> mzuverink: Yeah, yahoo for me. Same deal.
[03:19] <l3m> is there a simple howto for changing sysv init scripts to upstart?
[03:20] <cma> mzuverink: I'm actually going to give evolution a look.  Although I feel a bit dubious.
[03:22] <Flamekebab> If I'm using Beryl, is it possible to configure a keyboard shortcut for switching between Beryl and Metacity?
[03:23] <icehammer> help!! i downloaded limewire for linux.. .rpm package..
[03:24] <JohnRobert> argg!
[03:24] <icehammer> and used alien to convert it to .deb..
[03:24] <JohnRobert> Try downloading an ubuntu package
[03:24] <icehammer> there's no ubuntu package..
[03:24] <icehammer> after install.. it retirns a syntax error..
[03:24] <JohnRobert> icehammer:
[03:24] <JohnRobert> The answer, invariably, is that you should be using gtk-gnutella, which allows you to share files on the limewire, morpheus and a few other networks. You can install it using:
[03:24] <JohnRobert> sudo apt-get install gtk-gnutella
[03:24] <JohnRobert> use google.
[03:24] <JohnRobert> I searched for:
[03:25] <JohnRobert> ubuntu limewire
[03:25] <Flamekebab> icehammer, why not use Frostwire?
[03:25] <JohnRobert> that was the first page.
[03:25] <darweth> Is Limewire any good?
[03:25] <icehammer> i'll be able to use all of limewire, morpheus, and others, all in  one??
[03:25] <JohnRobert> yes.
[03:25] <valehru> hmm...anyone know where I can get a copy of ncurses?
[03:25] <icehammer> cool
[03:25] <icehammer> thanks
[03:25] <Vilhelms> I can't hibernate with Ubuntu. The screen goes black and I guess everything shuts down properly but the computer stays on with the screen flickering every few seconds :(
[03:25] <JohnRobert> do as I say and you'll get what you want
[03:25] <darweth> I've never used Limewire in my life.
[03:25] <variant> darweth: not really.. occasionaly it's not too bad. the best option is news groups
[03:25] <savvas> !dlink
[03:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dlink - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:25] <savvas> !d-link
[03:25] <darweth> Well, I am on a billion private BT trackers. :x
[03:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about d-link - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:25] <savvas> bummer
[03:25] <JohnRobert> Vilhelms: hibernate doesn't work too well on linux...try suspend instead
[03:25] <valehru> !ncurses
[03:26] <variant> darweth: or dc++
[03:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ncurses - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:26] <JohnRobert> !hibernate
[03:26] <Shaffox> !sexy
[03:26] <ubotu> hibernate: smartly puts your computer to sleep (suspend to RAM or disk). In component universe, is extra. Version 1.91-2 (edgy), package size 72 kB, installed size 364 kB
[03:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sexy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:26] <IdleOne> !ROUTER | savvas
[03:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about router - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:26] <darweth> DC++ seems cool for niche things.
[03:26] <variant> valehru: actualy, hibernate works perfectly on my laptop while suspend does not work at all
[03:26] <savvas> anyolol
[03:26] <Vilhelms> JohnRobert, Doesn't that use up my battery faster than hibernate though? I'm on a laptop
[03:26] <JohnRobert> Vilhelms: only slightly
[03:26] <JohnRobert> I am also on a laptop
[03:26] <Vilhelms> JohnRobert, Alright, thanks :)
[03:26] <l3m> how can i start sshd in 6.10?
[03:26] <Vilhelms> JohnRobert, I guess I will do that from now on
[03:26] <JohnRobert> it turns off all the hardware and just keeps it ticking over
[03:26] <variant> Lurkan: /etc/init.d/ssh start
[03:27] <Vilhelms> JohnRobert, Ah, I see... whats the difference between Suspend and Hibernate then?
[03:27] <JohnRobert> hibernate saves the computers memory to the hard disk
[03:27] <JohnRobert> and then restores it when you turn it back on
[03:27] <JohnRobert> suspend just turns off screen/hard disk etc
[03:27] <Vilhelms> Oh I see... cool, I guess I'll just use suspend :)
[03:27] <valehru> Is there a ncurses deb packaged for ubuntu?  Apt can't find it at all.
[03:27] <JohnRobert> yeah, just see how long it can be in suspend for...
[03:28] <JohnRobert> you'll probably get about 24 hours out of suspend
[03:28] <JohnRobert> depends really on your laptop
[03:28] <Vilhelms> Well my battery only lasts about half an hour as it is...
[03:28] <tanascar> Newbie here.. got a missing file (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/net/packet/af_packet.ko), can somewhere tell me where I can download this file manually? Is there a zip file or something of all the modules for that build?
[03:28] <JohnRobert> heh
[03:28] <JohnRobert> don't expect too much then
[03:28] <Zborg> hello :)
[03:28] <Vilhelms> I need to get my battery replaced though... I'm still in Warranty and can do it. Just the two weeks without it is kind of hard :-\
[03:28] <JohnRobert> yeah
[03:28] <JohnRobert> well worth doing then
[03:28] <Zborg> I have a small problem with one of my ubuntu boxes
[03:29] <Vilhelms> JohnRobert, Well, thanks for your suggestion :) I will try it and see if my battery dies during the time its suspended heh
[03:29] <JohnRobert> yeah, give it a go
[03:29] <Zborg> I used to mount smb shares by using the "connect to server" menu in "shortcuts", and suddenly these mounts don't work anymore
[03:29] <Vilhelms> Is there a specific channel I should go to ask beryl related questions or should I ask them here?
[03:30] <IdleOne> Vilhelms, can try #ubuntu-effects or in here also or #beryl
[03:30] <Vilhelms> IdleOne, Thanks :)
[03:31] <erUSUL> tanascar: install the last kernel 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic'

[03:37] <CapRiCoRN^80> wats SILO prompt ?
[03:37] <pawan> how to connect to internet using ubuntu livecd
[03:37] <ikonia> silo is a version of lilo for use on sparc
[03:38] <pawan> how to connect to broadband
[03:38] <pawan> using ubuntu livecd
[03:38] <CapRiCoRN^80> silo stands for ?
[03:38] <ikonia> CapRiCoRN^80: does it matter ?
[03:39] <chris> kleinLohmi: did you make a backup copy of your xorg.conf?
[03:39] <pablo> hi, why is it said ubuntu is not completely free?
[03:39] <kleinLohmi> yes
[03:39] <CapRiCoRN^80> hmm
[03:39] <iratik> pablo: for corporations - commercial support is available
[03:39] <kleinLohmi> the x server is running, but without the nvidia driver
[03:39] <variant> pablo: because it contains certain closed source firmware for the likes of wireless cards etc
[03:39] <CapRiCoRN^80> i m trying to install ubuntu on sun blade 150 n reading some posts that y i asked
[03:39] <ikonia> CapRiCoRN^80: so why do you need to know what it stands for, i've already told you its a version of the lilo boot loader for sparc
[03:40] <pawan> broadband on livecd
[03:40] <pawan> how
[03:40] <ikonia> it goes between the obp and the booting of the kernel
[03:40] <chris> kleinLohmi: this is probably the easiest method to install the driver, I would try this first, http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[03:40] <variant> pablo: please rephrase your question in a polite way if you expect to get an answer other than google
[03:40] <kleinLohmi> thank you, im going to try this
[03:40] <sacater> if anyone is a 1337 with source compiling, can they please join my #sacater channel, i have a few questions to ask

[03:41] <pablo> variant: ok sorry, how would you do the question?

[03:41] <LinTux> I have been unsuccessful in installing the Nvidia driver for my PCI-E 7300LE, does anyone know of a script that will do this for me?
[03:41] <variant> pibarnas: depends how you want to copy the, make an avi or make a duplicate dvd?
[03:41] <pawan> and how to connect it to internet
[03:41] <Toma-> pibarnas: dvdshrink is a crowd favorite
[03:41] <erUSUL> !nvidia | LinTux
[03:41] <ubotu> LinTux: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:41] <ikonia> pawan: go and read the basics on http://www.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com
[03:41] <pibarnas> variant duplicate.
[03:41] <Zborg> any idea about the problem I have with my smb shares?
[03:42] <chris> pawan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[03:42] <variant> pibarnas: as Toma- mentioned, there are free software alternatives to this though
[03:42] <erUSUL> ubotu tell pawan about mp3 | pawan see priv msg from ubotu
[03:42] <Toma-> pibarnas: dvdshrink will have a dvd9 format down to a standard dvd

[03:42] <ikonia> yes
[03:42] <Toma-> variant: like dvdshrink :D (linux version)
[03:42] <Toma-> ahh "xdvdshrink"
[03:43] <variant> Toma-: is it gpl/other free licence?
[03:43] <pablo> variant: apart from the support and the wireless firmware, something else is not free?
[03:43] <Toma-> gpl
[03:43] <ikonia> pablo: there is nothing in ubuntu you have to pay for
[03:43] <pibarnas> Toma- Is it on Multiverse or Universe... I can' get through apt...
[03:43] <variant> pablo: the free refers to freedom rather than cost.. thats a common miss conception of what Free Software actualy means
[03:43] <flounders> ikonia: He meant free as in speech.
[03:43] <l3m> where can i get 2.6.18 for edgy?
[03:43] <ikonia> l3m you can't
[03:43] <pablo> variant: sorry i ment open
[03:44] <variant> l3m: download it from kernel.org (assuming you mean linux) and compile it
[03:44] <l3m> ikonia debian usually has backported repos....ubuntu doesnt?
[03:44] <ikonia> l3m: yes, but there is no .18 package
[03:44] <Toma-> pablo: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Xdvdshrink
[03:44] <l3m> ikonia ok. not yet or is there a reason for it?
[03:44] <ikonia> there is no need for it
[03:44] <l3m> ikonia why not?
[03:45] <ikonia> why is there a need for it
[03:45] <l3m> am i missing something?
[03:45] <pibarnas> Where do I get dvdshrink?
[03:45] <pawan> how to connect to broadband using ubuntu livecd
[03:45] <ikonia> don't think your missing anything
[03:45] <ikonia> pawan: I've told you where to look
[03:46] <variant> man, this channel stresses me so much sometimes :)
[03:46] <l3m> ikonia well i have a cluster with requires patches for myrinet and lustre and they are only available for 2.6.12 or ..18
[03:46] <phyberoptik> stress can be a good thing
[03:46] <l3m> which
[03:46] <Toma-> pibarnas: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Xdvdshrink
[03:46] <ikonia> l3m: you'll have to build your own and break your ubuntu dependency tree
[03:46] <pibarnas> Toma- Ok, thank you, I'll get it!
[03:46] <Toma-> np.
[03:47] <variant> l3m: sounds like you know what your doing then, download the source from kernel.org and compile it your self
[03:47] <yaman> ikonia: do you know how ndiswrapper work ?

[03:48] <ubotu> eric__: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[03:48] <variant> eric__: yes there is
[03:48] <ikonia> Toma-: its not stressfull, there are just too many fools and you can't see anything to them as ubuntu is "super friendly" just becomes tedious saying !nvidia !wifi !beryl and !ati
[03:48] <HymnToLife> !netinst
[03:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about netinst - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:07] <Toma-> deb_user: so youre still using the working ati driver? and its locked?
[04:08] <deb_user> toma-: yeah, i could unlock it...
[04:08] <deb_user> toma-: i'm wondering if I should upgrade to edgy...though I had wanted to stay with dapper because its the "long term stable"
[04:08] <CapRiCoRN^80> ikonia: any advice etc ?
[04:08] <GreyGhost> deb_user ,u got any good reason to upgrade?
[04:08] <ikonia> CapRiCoRN^80: try the boot parameters suggested in the thread ?

[04:09] <deb_user> greyghost: yeah, my graphics are all choppy now after an update
