[08:25] <odat> isn't there a commercial piece of linux software for this or something
[08:25] <pashaw> kaffeend,    it doesnt boot  at all?
[08:25] <christmas-tree-> ok after install xp ubuntu cd rescue mode what to do there
[08:25] <cthulhu> anyone can help me getting IR support??
[08:25] <kaffeend> pashaw I can get it to boot in safe mode
[08:26] <kaffeend> recovery mode*
[08:26] <pashaw> kaffeend, good    do you get a text login prompt
[08:26] <kaffeend> yep
[08:26] <christmas-tree-> sudhir
[08:26] <christmas-tree-> are you there
[08:26] <pashaw> kaffeend,   excellent    then from there   you can login    then type  sudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and try some other settings
[08:27] <christmas-tree-> ok after install xp ubuntu cd rescue mode what to do there
[08:27] <kaffeend> pashaw - I know, but the settings I don't know how to configure
[08:27] <sudhir> christmas : in terminal type dd if=/dev/hda of=/mnt/C/grub bs=512 count=1
[08:27] <kaffeend> to what values etc
[08:27] <sudhir> and save to a file
[08:27] <sudhir> and in win xp add it in boot.ini
[08:27] <pashaw> kaffeend,   we will get you started
[08:28] <christmas-tree-> but how can i make the ubuntu will start boot
[08:28] <christmas-tree-> not windows
[08:28] <kaffeend> pashaw - I'm dual-booting here :(
[08:28] <pashaw> kaffeend,  you broke it  now  we can get it fix it
[08:29] <CaptainMorgan> anyone know how to get the libvisual's for amarok's visualizations ?
[08:29] <kaffeend> pashaw - yes I did break it - and I should suffer by reinstalling again
[08:29] <kaffeend> no need to waste your time as well
[08:29] <kakei> what i need to play VCD's on ubuntu?
[08:29] <pashaw> kaffeend,   you want to try this or not?
[08:30] <kaffeend> pashaw - will it involve me toggling between windows and ubuntu?
[08:30] <pashaw> kaffeend,  only  way i see it happening
[08:30] <sudhir> christmas : if /dev/hda is ur location of /boot
[08:30] <kaffeend> pashaw - because it might be quicker to reinstall
[08:31] <sudhir> then u can type # grub-install /dev/hda
[08:31] <pashaw> kaffeend,  ok  1 tip,   make a backup copy of your original /etc/X11/xorg.conf  before addding the ati stuff
[08:31] <Pegasos989> How do I run a .bin file? Default option is terminal, but nothing happens (terminal pops up with the starting line being in my home folder, but nothing happens in it)
[08:31] <pashaw> kaffeend,    then its way easy to fix it again
[08:31] <kaffeend> pashaw I thought I had
[08:31] <kaffeend> I'm gonna try something - back soonish
[08:31] <pashaw> kaffeend,  did it spit out where it placed it

[08:48] <ubotu> from memory, mount is the command to add partitions to your filesystem - for full instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive For mounting windows partitions, see !windowsdrives or http://tinyurl.com/bly9f
[08:48] <beardousa> nemik, you're sure that's a question for #ubuntu?
[08:48] <ElitePete> kakei, have you tried hdb1
[08:48] <ElitePete> ?
[08:48] <kakei> /dev/hdb:
[08:48] <kakei>  using_dma    =  1 (on)
[08:48] <kakei> yes its on too
[08:48] <Ubunti_Ki> Hello everybody, merry christmas
[08:48] <silverton> "why is it on hdb?!" and then I thought, maybe it's the slave drive, and they have a dual-boot setup
[08:48] <nemik> beardousa: where else would I ask it? i am running ubuntu....
[08:49] <silverton> but even then, wouldn't linux call it hda?
[08:49] <silverton> nemik, try #linux
[08:49] <nemik> ok, i'll give it a shot. thanks
[08:49] <Pegasos989> Where do I find instructios on mounting a .bin ? Ubotu doesn't know words bib, .bin, mounting and mount only gives info on hard drives
[08:50] <ElitePete> i have access to a really fast server, what do you guys think i should run ?
[08:50] <pashaw> ElitePete,   nethack
[08:50] <silverton> mount -t iso9660 /where/file/is /where/its/being/mounted -o loop
[08:50] <ElitePete> pashaw, and whats that?
[08:50] <pashaw> ElitePete,   look it up
[08:50] <Ubunti_Ki> I have a slight weird problem here with Ubuntu desktop. Just installed Ubuntu and somehow I have a Icon in my desktop that I cannot remove, its called "hda1"    HOW DO I REMOVE IT???
[08:51] <Pegasos989> thanks, silverperton
[08:51] <ElitePete> pashaw, lmfao
[08:51] <mrkoje> Ubunti_Ki,  thats a mounted drive
[08:51] <Jochen2> Hi people!
[08:51] <pashaw> ElitePete,   :P
[08:51] <Jochen2> Question, do you know the place where the modules are being automatically loaded?
[08:52] <ElitePete> pashaw, but seriously, what would be cool to run?
[08:52] <pashaw> Jochen2,    in the kernel  next question
[08:52] <Jochen2> On fedora, or Suse it was always a single modules.autoload files
[08:52] <Ubunti_Ki> mrkoje, yes It obviusly is. But I dont have that in my other Ubuntu machine?
[08:52] <Jochen2> NO, I mean, the order and the modules which you or the system wants to load
[08:52] <mrkoje> Ubunti_Ki, check fstab to see if it is auto mounting that drive
[08:52] <pashaw> ElitePete,  not a clue  what you should
[08:52] <djm62> Jochen2: /etc/modules or similar
[08:52] <ElitePete> pashaw, :-(
[08:52] <Ubunti_Ki> ok mrkoje
[08:53] <Jochen2> hmmm....
[08:53] <Jochen2> The kernel loads modules like capability, commoncap....
[08:53] <Jochen2> They are all not listed in the /etc/modules
[08:54] <Ubunti_Ki> mrkoje, Yes it is in my fstab table....but should I remove it?
[08:55] <djm62> Jochen2: hang on, I need to open up a terminal window and do some tab completion
[08:55] <Jochen2> okay...
[08:55] <malakhi> Ubunti_Ki, is this a dual boot system? What is on that partition?
[08:55] <Pegasos989> silverton, "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
[08:55] <Pegasos989>        missing codepage or other error"... Should it really be ISO9660 even when trying to mount .bin?
[08:56] <Delvien> Anyone have any battery saving hacks for ubuntu?
[08:56] <silverton> try dropping the -t iso9660
[08:56] <Ubunti_Ki> malakhi, yes this a dualboot machine as my other machine. But but...theres XP, so is in the other machine.
[08:56] <beardousa> has anyone added splashscreens to grub?  I just installed the grub-splashscreens package, and I don't know what to do next
[08:57] <djm62> Jochen2: /etc/modprobe.d and /etc/modutils both have stuff pertaining to autoloading (I've never heard of the specific modules you mentioned)
[08:57] <malakhi> Ubunti_Ki, if you don't want your windows partition to mount on boot, then go ahead and comment out that line (put a # at the beginning of the line)
[08:57] <Jochen2> then type lsmod
[08:57] <beardousa> It would be really nice to have a graphic bootloader for use on the projector, because it won't display text mode
[08:57] <ardchoille> Merry Christmas everyone :)
[08:57] <Jochen2> there you see the security modules which are automatically loaded from the kernel.
[08:57] <Ubunti_Ki> malakhi, this is safe?
[08:57] <not_applicable> Where can I find the minimum system requirements for ubuntu? Kubuntu?
[08:58] <Pegasos989> silverton, it tells me that I must specify the filesystem type
[08:58] <malakhi> Ubunti_Ki, yes, as long as hda1 is your windows partition, it won't hurt a thing.
[08:58] <pashaw> not_applicable,   the install disk  press f1 or f2  i forget
[08:58] <Ubunti_Ki> malakhi, many thanks and merry christmas
[08:58] <Whistler> where is startup script located at?
[08:58] <Whistler> i wanna add some commands
[08:58] <malakhi> Ubunti_Ki, n/p and merry christmas to you.
[08:59] <not_applicable> pashaw, that means I have to download the iso first then
[08:59] <pashaw> not_applicable,   im kidding  ill grab you a link
[08:59] <SirKillalot> can I make mplayer adjust its own volume and not the systemwide volume? (I mean software volume instead of hardware)
[08:59] <Whistler> anybody?
[08:59] <silverton> Pegasos989, loopback devices must not be enabled in your kernel or something
[09:00] <Pegasos989> silverton, o...k... So... How do I disable those then
[09:00] <silverton> you mean "enable" ?
[09:00] <pashaw> not_applicable,   i know  it says 64mp RAM and 2G+  for base install
[09:00] <malakhi> Whistler, that would be /etc/init.d/
[09:00] <Pegasos989> silverton, whatever
[09:00] <Pegasos989> :P
[09:00] <silverton> :P
[09:00] <silverton> um...
[09:00] <silverton> you have to recompile your kernel
[09:01] <silverton> but, you really shouldn't have to
[09:01] <silverton> since ther eis already a loopback device on yoru system
[09:01] <not_applicable> Thank you Pashaw
[09:01] <kaffeend> pashaw I fixed it ;)
[09:02] <silverton> Pegasos989, mount -t iso9660 -o loop file.iso directory
[09:02] <silverton> try that
[09:02] <pashaw> kaffeend,   nice work   '
[09:03] <silverton> 'cept, file.bin of course
[09:03] <digitaleric> Hi all, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 5.10/amd64.  Several times, the install screen has hung, and when I switch terminals and run 'dmesg', the last few lines are a bunch of SATA timeout errors
[09:03] <kaffeend> pashaw lol - not really - I just reinstalled :D
[09:03] <digitaleric> this computer works fine in windows and with Fedora, so I think it's probably an issue w/the SATA drivers in the kernel shipped on the CD
[09:03] <pashaw> kaffeend,   cheap!   :P
[09:03] <digitaleric> is it possible to make an install CD with a different kernel version?
[09:03] <kaffeend> pashaw yep... and nasty! :P
[09:04] <silverton> digitaleric, not really
[09:04] <silverton> digitaleric, if you want a debian based system, and your choice of kernel
[09:04] <Pegasos989> silverton, still says about the bad fs type
[09:04] <kaffeend> !alsa

[09:04] <silverton> just change the extension
[09:04] <malakhi> Whistler, i answered you already

[09:07] <Whistler> can anybody make me an startup script which does these commands: http://pastebin.com/477828 ?
[09:07] <silverton> Whistler, stop repeating yourself
[09:07] <digitaleric> Whistler, you're 90% of the way there already
[09:07] <silverton> go ask in #linux
[09:08] <digitaleric> take that, add the 1st line of "#!/bin/sh"
[09:08] <gnomefreak> #!/bin/sh
[09:08] <digitaleric> and save it as /etc/init.d/name.sh
[09:08] <kaffeend> can anyone tell me what packages to install to listen to *ahem* mp3s please? I've read up on the wiki page but it doesn't tell me anything about specific packages..
[09:08] <Whistler> and wont it ask password for sudo?
[09:08] <digitaleric> oh right, take out the sudo lines
[09:08] <digitaleric> init scripts run as root
[09:08] <Whistler> oh ok then
[09:09] <digitaleric> **take the 'sudo' out of those lines, is what i meant
[09:09] <silverton> !mp3
[09:09] <ubotu> hmm... mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:09] <silverton> ubotu, tell kaffeend about mp3
[09:09] <kaffeend> silverton - thanks, but I've been there and read up on the "multimedia" in general
[09:10] <daved> will    dd if=/dev/hdb of=/tmp/the.iso    work?
[09:10] <kaffeend> but I ended up installing ALL packages
[09:10] <digitaleric> daved: you're trying to make a CD imgae?  then that will work for most normal CDs
[09:10] <digitaleric> *data
[09:10] <daved> digitaleric, sweet
[09:11] <kaffeend> hence my very specific question :P
[09:11] <daved> digitaleric, yeah, i just loop mounted the resulting iso and it worked great
[09:11] <daved> just trying to backup random driver cd's that i have lying around :)
[09:11] <silverton> kaffeend, did you enable universe and multiverse?
[09:11] <kaffeend> yeah
[09:11] <silverton> and did these?
[09:11] <silverton> sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg
[09:12] <puff> Hm... I have a laptop running hoary ubuntu, with a 60GB drive, and a 250GB USB drive.  What's the safest process to uprade to breezy?
[09:12] <kaffeend> silverton - actually no... I just reinstalled
[09:12] <silverton> reinstalled?
[09:12] <puff> The obvious approach that comes to mind is to dd a disk image of the 60GB drive onto the USB drive.
[09:12] <_tcc> does ubuntu come with any default ftp server software?
[09:12] <kaffeend> silverton is that what you recommend then?
[09:12] <_tcc> I need an FTP server.
[09:12] <Delvien> Is there a Gnome-apps.org kinda thing, like KDE-APPS.org
[09:12] <silverton> kaffeend, that's the only way to do it :P
[09:12] <puff> _tcc: sudo aptitude search ftp
[09:12] <silverton> so of course that's what all of recommend
[09:13] <kaffeend> silverton - gotcha. and yes, I reinstalled Ubuntu just now
[09:13] <silverton> kk, well install those
[09:13] <silverton> and then go down to "The Codecs" and do that
[09:13] <kaffeend> roger
[09:13] <puff> _tcc: Be aware that ftp is a not-secure protocol, usernames/passwords are transferred in cleartext when using an ftp server.
[09:13] <horgh> can someone tell me how to reinstall a program?
[09:13] <feross> hey how do you reload the modules? .. made a change in the modules.conf file
[09:13] <silverton> that'll let you watch mode .avi's .mpg's, and .wmv's with no problem
[09:13] <puff> horgh: sudo apt-get --reinstall programname
[09:14] <horgh> I never used apt-get
[09:14] <parti> hey guys. how do I restore the Grub ?
[09:14] <horgh> I don't have to configure it?
[09:14] <silverton> puff, sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:14] <puff> horgh: sudo aptitude reinstall programname
[09:14] <silverton> that's how it should be done
[09:14] <silverton> er, wait
[09:14] <silverton> nevermind >.<
[09:14] <ardchoille> is there a command I can type to see if I already have a certain app installed? On an rpm based system it was "rpm -qa | grep appname". How do I do that on Ubuntu?
[09:14] <puff> silverton: For the upgrade, yeah, but I'm paranoid, so I want to back up my system first.
[09:14] <silverton> have to chance your repositories to breezy
[09:15] <silverton> puff, what have you got to lose?
[09:15] <skon> ardchoille: apropos <cmd>
[09:15] <horgh> wow! whats that? I never heard about aptitude
[09:15] <horgh> and i launched it
[09:15] <horgh> what it does
[09:15] <puff> horgh: a) my bad, use aptitude instead of apt-get, b) no, apt-get is already installed, aptitude is probably installed, bu tif not, "sudo apt-get install aptitude"
[09:15] <puff> silverton: My data? :-)
[09:15] <parti> guys. how do I restore the Grub menu? WINdos has deleted it...
[09:15] <puff> silverton:  And lots of time and frustration.
[09:16] <skon> parti: Windows doesn't delete grub
[09:16] <silverton> what's data?  it can't be THAT important...  doesn't sound important at least...   Both of them are tools to work with the debian/ubuntu package management system, which helps manage installation and removal of software packages.  The glory of apt is that it also manages package dependencies.  While it is not infallible, it's better than most everything else people have come up wtih.
[09:17] <skon> asss
[09:17] <_tcc> haha
[09:17] <horgh> puff: what does aptitude
[09:17] <puff> _tcc: Uploads from whom?
[09:17] <parti> I am running Kubuntu Live CD now. and I see from gParted that I still have my Ubuntu partition. Which I though WIndows has erased it.
[09:17] <_tcc> from me?
[09:17] <puff> horgh: I just told you.
[09:17] <puff> _tcc: Don't use ftp, use scp.
[09:17] <_tcc> What is that
[09:17] <_tcc> ?
[09:17] <puff> _tcc: Or, possible, sftp.
[09:17] <horgh> oh sorry
[09:17] <puff> _tcc: Do you know what ssh is?
[09:17] <_tcc> secure ftp
[09:17] <_tcc> yes
[09:18] <skon> not quite
[09:18] <skon> its more than that
[09:18] <_tcc> How do I set an ftp server up on my server?
[09:18] <skon> sudo apt-get install ftpd
[09:18] <_tcc> I am totally in the command line here.
[09:18] <_tcc> Yeah I did that.
[09:18] <skon> or pro-ftpd or proftpd
[09:18] <gnomefreak> ssh=secure shell last time i checked
[09:19] <_tcc> lol
[09:19] <BoukenPink> If I put everything from my home folder on a CD and then reinstall Ubuntu... can I just copy it back? :3
[09:19] <skon> BoukenPink: of course
[09:19] <_tcc> I have no idea on how I want this set up.
[09:19] <kaffeend> silverton: any idea why I'm getting - "Couldn't find package gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse
[09:19] <kaffeend> "?

[09:20] <skon> tcc: it's already set up
[09:20] <puff> _tcc: Are you sure you want an ftp _server_ and not an ftp _client_?
[09:20] <_tcc> I want a *SERVER*
[09:20] <_tcc> lol
[09:20] <kaffeend> silverton - nvm it doesn't really matter :)
[09:20] <_tcc> I am pretty sure of what I want.
[09:20] <johndarkhorse> kaffeend: do you have multiverse repo enabled?
[09:20] <puff> _tcc: Just making sure.
[09:21] <skon> _tcc: it's setup already, just set the permissions of the ftp user
[09:21] <llukax> can someone help me, i dont have xorgconfig
[09:21] <_tcc> erm...how do you set the users and stuff?
[09:21] <_tcc> and how do i set where the uploads with go to?
[09:21] <kaffeend> johndarkhorse: yes
[09:21] <sorush20> !codec
[09:21] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, sorush20
[09:22] <sorush20> guys I keep getting the message that wmvdemo is missing
[09:22] <skon> _tcc: what do you want to set exactly?
[09:22] <sorush20> wmvdmod.dll is messing..
[09:22] <_tcc> The directory to upload....
[09:22] <_tcc> the user names
[09:23] <_tcc> user : apache w/ew/e
[09:23] <_tcc> and uploads go to....
[09:23] <_tcc> /home/tom/web/
[09:23] <_tcc> like so.
[09:23] <skon> hmm not sure
[09:24] <skon> well..
[09:24] <sorush20> happy christ mas everyone
[09:24] <skon> set the home directory of the ftp user to be whatever directory your apache is
[09:25] <_tcc> ok....
[09:26] <skon> I have an IBM PC camera and linux does detect it, but I'm not sure I know exactly how to grab images yet.. can anyone help?
[09:26] <Xmasmoo> how do I get the current color depth of my X-windows?
[09:26] <sorush20> guys my vid playback is jumpy..
[09:26] <BoukenPink> How can I write my home folder to a CD from the console? ^^
[09:26] <skon> BoukenPink: use cdrecord
[09:27] <gnomefreak> brb trying to burn this :(
[09:28] <[DeCaf] > How do I set up IP-aliasing in ubuntu? (i.e. making one network  interface respond to a range of IP-addresses)?
[09:28] <skon> Decaf: what do you mean by respond
[09:29] <[DeCaf] > skon: Well, basically so I can run a webserver with different sites at different IP-addresses, with only one network interface though.
[09:29] <skon> Decaf: hmm interesting, I'm not really familiar with that sort of thing, sorry I can't help
[09:30] <Xmasmoo> Decaf: you can use ifconfig command manually from command line
[09:30] <[DeCaf] > Xmasmoo: Ok, *checking into that*
[09:30] <shwag_> how do I switch back to the default firefox icon ?
[09:30] <skon> shwag: right click, properties, emblems
[09:31] <koniec> hello, is there any tool that will report how much electric I'm using? (in kW? right?)
[09:31] <skon> shwag: not emblems...basic, select custom icon
[09:31] <Xmasmoo> koniec: yes there are
[09:31] <Xmasmoo> koniec: you can install power meter between the power cable and your computer
[09:31] <_tcc> skon: that is a simpler concept than you'd think.
[09:32] <afief> Do i have to do anything special to make Wine work on Ubuntu?
[09:32] <_tcc> Coming from a windows world where everything has to seem high tech.
[09:32] <_tcc> It's a simple path change.
[09:32] <koniec> Xmasmoo, I can't use a voltimeter?
[09:32] <skon> _tcc: not really, it's fairly simple actually, try googling it...
[09:32] <skon> I have to go now though
[09:32] <skon> bbl
[09:32] <johndarkhorse> gnomefreak: why are you sweating on xmas eve?
[09:32] <_tcc> peace
[09:33] <gnomefreak> burning dapper
[09:33] <Xmasmoo> koniec: usually low end "do-it-yourself" meters don't have function for measuring watts
[09:33] <_tcc> Trans-Europe Express
[09:33] <Xmasmoo> koniec: power companies lend you those meters if you ask them
[09:33] <[DeCaf] > Xmasmoo: Do you know if theres a simple way to specify an range of IP-addresses? (i.e. <IP_ADDRESS>-<IP_ADDRESS>)?
[09:33] <gnomefreak> last 2 times i upgraded crap was all kinds of messed up this time im burning it
[09:33] <afief> Do i have to do anything special to make Wine work on Ubuntu?
[09:34] <Xmasmoo> DeCaf: at least using a script and a running variable you can add in all ips manually. i am not sure if ifconfig directly supports IP ranges. I'll check.
[09:34] <koniec> Xmasmoo, you mean electric companies? do they usually charge you for it?
[09:34] <[DeCaf] > Xmasmoo: I just switched to Ubuntu from RedHat, which had some ifcfg-eth0-range0 file that contained the range.
[09:34] <Xmasmoo> koniec: in finland they lend them without charge
[09:35] <Xmasmoo> DeCaf: ifconfig support ip ranges
[09:35] <afief> how can i get Wine to work on Ubuntu????
[09:36] <koniec> Xmasmoo, thanks : ) I'm in American though, so I can try but I'm doubtful it will be free
[09:38] <afief> can someone PLEASE tell me how to get Wine to work?
[09:38] <malakhi> afief, http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[09:38] <malakhi> follow  the instructions there.
[09:38] <max_> anybody else having problems running GTK-gnutella?
[09:38] <malakhi> don't use the packages that ubuntu ships
[09:39] <[DeCaf] > Xmasmoo: I can't seem to figure out how to specify a range... a single address works though.
[09:40] <afief> malakhi: I got the package they told me to get from their repository, restarted and still don't have an option to run win-based software
[09:40] <JasonOfEarth> hiya... anybody on on this merry <censored holiday> that knows about acpi?
[09:40] <tonyyarusso> I don't suppose anyone here could help me (or redirect me to a channel that could) with a 1996 Compaq laptop with a busted BIOS?
[09:41] <JasonOfEarth> I need to know what each of the scripts is for... and how it chooses to run a script
[09:41] <tonyyarusso> JasonOfEarth, I've had to fiddle with mine, but that doesn't necessarily mean I know about it.
[09:41] <Delvien> Anyone know how to make my  bootsplash tha spiffy brown color and make it say ubuntu again? i went to the blue one that says kubuntu
[09:41] <malakhi> afief, there is no real GUI option for running wine. it's all from the command line
[09:42] <posey> i just installed ubuntu, and my x server keeps crashing
[09:42] <JasonOfEarth> ack
[09:42] <JasonOfEarth> sorry learning chat
[09:43] <DonVincenzo> Hi, when I log out, the log screen is blank, and I can not shut down from here. Does anybody has a clue ?
[09:43] <malakhi> afief, before you try running anything, run winecfg
[09:43] <afief> well, what's the command then? in fedora i had a "run with wine" option
[09:43] <malakhi> that will get you the needed libraries, etc
[09:43] <Epix> what is thye package u need to play MP3s?
[09:43] <tonyyarusso> afief and malakhi: Unless you do "Open with" and select /usr/bin/wine.  Mine actually automatically uses Wine for .exe.
[09:44] <tonyyarusso> Epix: win32codecs
[09:44] <malakhi> afief and tonyyarusso, true enough. i've always just run it from the prompt. but that will work as well.
[09:44] <Epix> tonyyarusso: and, whats a good mixer for ALSA
[09:44] <tonyyarusso> Epix: Or maybe it's w32codecs.
[09:44] <Xmasmoo> DeCaf: Then you might need to list all ips. How many ips you have?
[09:45] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell malakhi about mp3
[09:45] <tonyyarusso> Epix: Not as sure about that; never really bother mixing.
[09:45] <johndarkhorse> tonyyarusso: win32codecs have nothing to do with mp3
[09:45] <Epix> tonyyarusso: i mean, something like alsamixer
[09:45] <malakhi> johndarkhorse, what do i care about mp3?
[09:45] <tonyyarusso> johndarkhorse, Oh?
[09:46] <afief> GUI opening doesn't work for me... but the open with thing sure did:) thanks for your support
[09:46] <[DeCaf] > Xmasmoo: Well, it's only about 20 so it's not the end of the day even to do it manually.. (a script is even easier). Just wanted to know if there was a way to do it automagically :)
[09:46] <Xmasmoo> DeCaf: http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Multiple_IPs
[09:46] <rod> hi
[09:46] <tonyyarusso> johndarkhorse, I thought they were part of that set of nonsense.
[09:46] <afief> How do i know if i have hardware acceleration enabled?
[09:47] <shwag_> it sucks...mplayer works as a firefox plugin, but its all choppy.
[09:47] <rod> i have xubuntu installed on dapper because ubuntu-desktop wouldnt install... No biggy, but does XFCE have a replacement for the Gnome Multimedia Selector?
[09:47] <blue-frog> afief, terminal glxgears -printfps
[09:47] <shwag_> rod: how do I get dapper ?
[09:48] <[DeCaf] > Xmasmoo: Thanks, just what I was searching for :) (Seems the Debian way is to specify each address individually... oh well :)
[09:50] <sagarp> i'm running eterm as a transparent, borderless window..is there a way to prevent the taskbar button from showing up?
[09:51] <dailyrorschach> anyone able to point somehelp in mounting an ntfs drive, the instructions on ubuntuguide.org didn't work, and the wiki was really unclear
[09:51] <dennis_> Hey guys
[09:51] <dennis_> Does anyone know why glxgears is different in breezy than it was in hoary
[09:52] <dennis_> In Breezy...it doesn't show me the results like in hoary :/
[09:52] <johndarkhorse> stay away from the ubuntuguide, dailyrorschach it'll wreck your box
[09:52] <dennis_> It just keeps spinning
[09:52] <Delvien> Anyone know how to edit my grub boot list?
[09:52] <dailyrorschach> johndarkhorse: I used it back over the summer when I played with hoary, but I've been primarily using the userguide on the wiki, nonetheless, help with mounting ntfs?
[09:52] <tonyyarusso> shwag_, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/flight-2/
[09:52] <_tcc> I have a user 'ftp' in which I login to my ftp....how can I change the login name?
[09:52] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell dailyrorschach about ntfs
[09:52] <_tcc> Just change the username?
[09:52] <tonyyarusso> shwag_, The stable release is in April.
[09:53] <blue-frog> dailyrorschach, use the help guide (question mark on your taskbar)
[09:53] <johndarkhorse> dailyrorschach: http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/winmac_fstab
[09:53] <shwag_> tonyyarusso, is there going to be a combined ubuntu and kubuntu release so that you just choose your desktop during install ?
[09:53] <tonyyarusso> shwag_, Not to my knowledge, still separate disks.
[09:54] <dennis_> Noone knows whats up with it?
[09:54] <martin_> hi guys
[09:54] <tonyyarusso> shwag_, That would be kind of slick though, so if it's possible for that to still fit on one desk maybe they are working toward that.  Don't know.
[09:54] <puff> Hm, so, question, I'm dd'ing a disk image of my laptop onto a USB drive.  I don't need to worry about space, the USB drive is 4x as big as the laptop drive.  But would it speed things up to use gzip?
[09:54] <dennis_> :/
[09:54] <martin_> anyone know something about wine?
[09:54] <Delvien> Anyone know how to edit my grub boot list?
[09:54] <malakhi> _tcc, you should be able to add any users you want to be able to use ftp to the ftp group, and they can login with their normal credentials.
[09:54] <martin_> I'm having problems...
[09:54] <shwag_> tonyyarusso, but now it is a livecd and install cd in one i hear. ..now that is cool.
[09:54] <_tcc> oh ok
[09:55] <tonyyarusso> Delvien, Depends on your setup.  I've done some of that.
[09:55] <dennis_> Anyone know how to get the glxgears test results in breezy...for some reason it won't show the results in the terminal window
[09:55] <Delvien> tonyyarusso i just want to get into it and edit it so it doesnt show me 4 copies of linux
[09:55] <rockinchado> i just installed my wireless card using ndiswrapper everything worked fine but it doesn't show up in iwconfig         anyone know how to fix?
[09:55] <dennis_> Anyone know how to get the glxgears test results in breezy...for some reason it won't show the results in the terminal window
[09:55] <Delvien> tonyyarusso  know where the config file is?
[09:55] <tonyyarusso> shwag_, Flight 2 wasn't like that yet, where'd you hear?
[09:56] <tonyyarusso> Delvien, Sure.  /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:56] <Delvien> tonyyarusso nm found it
[09:56] <martin_> anyone have an idea?
[09:56] <blue-frog> rockinchado, system>administration>network, does it show there?
[09:56] <shwag_> tonyyarusso, ohh...the kubuntu flight 2 cd was.  i assumed ubuntu was also.  i saw a review of kubuntu
[09:56] <rockinchado> blue-frog, no
[09:56] <tonyyarusso> Delvien, Just in case you didn't think to already, you probably want to comment out instead of delete in case you want them later.
[09:56] <dennis_> Wow, noone knows :/
[09:56] <tonyyarusso> shwag_, Ah.
[09:56] <Smerdykov> can someone give me the link of where to get the free ubuntu discs
[09:56] <blue-frog> dennis_, , terminal glxgears -printfps
[09:56] <Delvien> tonyyarusso aye thats what im doing now :)
[09:56] <dennis_> lol
[09:57] <dennis_> blue-frog, do you know why it is different from when it was in hoary?
[09:57] <dennis_> It just automatically showed it
[09:57] <rockinchado> blue-frog, when i do a ndiswrapper -l       it shows up fine and modprobe works
[09:57] <Dronepower> Does someone know why a working audigy on ubuntu  is not being reconized after a reboot?
[09:57] <tonyyarusso> Smerdykov, https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[09:58] <Smerdykov> gracias
[09:58] <martin_> my problem is the following
[09:58] <martin_> I've installed wine with synaptics
[09:59] <martin_> when I download something, I can open it with wine and install it
[09:59] <blue-frog> rockinchado, then i don't know why it's not there sry
[09:59] <Seveas> dennis_, because glxgears is not a benchmark but is abused as being a bechmark far too much
[09:59] <martin_> but now, when I enter "wine <programname>" in the terminal, it can't find it
[09:59] <Seveas> martin_, you gotta tyoe the complete path...
[09:59] <Delvien> martin_ you have to navigate wine to find it
[10:00] <ElitePete> martin_, do you include the correct extension IE: .exe
[10:00] <martin_> but even if I drag and drop the name in it doesn't work
[10:00] <Delvien> martin_ in example "wine /home/martin/downloads/adobe.exe
[10:00] <martin_> yeah
[10:00] <martin_> just a sec
[10:00] <DUNFreak> Ok small question... Does anyone know how to change keyboard layout in ubuntu? I went to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard and changed it to what I wanted (Canadian French) and deleted US English.. But the bastard won't change the layout, even after rebooting. wtf?
[10:00] <gnomefreak> ok why doesnt dapper use same drivers as breezy :(
[10:01] <limeira> Al? Brasucas  por a?
[10:01] <blue-frog> DUNFreak, too impolite, your pc doesn't like it
[10:01] <afief> How can i run things installed under Wine?
[10:01] <DUNFreak> blue-frog, :P
[10:01] <Delvien> Might be because hes french canadian ?
[10:01] <Seveas> afief, with wine :)
[10:02] <malakhi> afief, wine /path/to/*.exe
[10:02] <afief> okay, but where do i find it:) it's nowhere in the menu and i can't find any wine folder
[10:02] <DUNFreak> *sigh* of course I get assaulted because of my origins instead of helped. Figures.
[10:02] <martin_> then i get this: err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 0 bytes in thread 0009 eip 00578f61 esp 7f9f1000 stack 0x7f9f0000-0x7faf0000
[10:02] <gnomefreak> no kernel moduals found and it couldnt find nic card nor drivers :((
[10:02] <_tcc> Why do I keep getting a permission denied when I try to upload files to my FTP?
[10:02] <Delvien> martin_ what are you trying to run?
[10:02] <xenex> ispiked: i got my wireless card to work!

[10:03] <xenex> ispiked: its actually an easy process that i had to follow step by step in the forums
[10:03] <gnomefreak> _tcc, did you use sudo?
[10:03] <_tcc> yes
[10:03] <martin_> :/usr$ wine /home/martin/Desktop/NeatImage/NeatImage.exe

[10:03] <Delvien> _tcc DO NOT Paste in here
[10:03] <martin_> me?
[10:03] <malakhi> _tcc, does the logged in user have write permissions for that directory?
[10:03] <martin_> not paste?
[10:03] <martin_> sorry
[10:03] <gnomefreak> !paste
[10:03] <ubotu> it has been said that paste is please use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or #flood to paste large amounts of text
[10:03] <johndarkhorse> _tcc: please read the /topic and use a pastebin
[10:03] <_tcc> I did a chown ftp
[10:03] <_tcc> sudo chown ftp *
[10:04] <_tcc> sudo chmod 777 *
[10:04] <martin_> what can I do?
[10:04] <_tcc> there should that not open everything up?
[10:04] <martin_> what's wrong?
[10:04] <malakhi> _tcc, are you logged in? or anonymous?
[10:04] <TheDracle> Um, there's some command to get Ubuntu to automagically detect x stuff...
[10:04] <Sh4d0x> boo
[10:04] <TheDracle> But I forgot what it was.
[10:04] <_tcc> I am logged in.
[10:05] <DUNFreak> Ok small question... Does anyone know how to change keyboard layout in ubuntu? I went to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard and changed it to what I wanted, before deleting the US English layout.. However the change is not done, the layout stays as US English whatever I do, even rebooting. Is there another way to apply keyboard layout changes?
[10:05] <DUNFreak> (better?)
[10:05] <TheDracle> Does anybody here know?
[10:05] <santa_shadox> how how how
[10:05] <santa_shadox> :D
[10:05] <martin_> help!
[10:05] <blue-frog> _tcc, can you write in your home folder?
[10:05] <_tcc> for the ftp user?
[10:05] <nuxGuru> I need help with a USR 5610 modem being recognized - I have reviewed all I could find at ubuntu and other siites; any modem experts here?
[10:05] <HymnToLife> TheDracle > what do you mean "x stuff" ?
[10:06] <no0tic> ispiked, hi ;)
[10:06] <no0tic> xenex, hi ;)
[10:06] <HymnToLife> nuxGuru > www.linmodems.org
[10:06] <blue-frog> DUNFreak, much, in a terminal what's the output of    locale  ?
[10:06] <no0tic> xenex, what about wireless networking?
[10:06] <nuxGuru> 5610 is nnot a linmodem
[10:06] <martin_> what am I doing wrong?
[10:06] <xenex> no0tic: i got it to work by myself :D
[10:06] <xenex> no0tic: its actually really easy :o
[10:06] <martin_> I've installed wine with synaptics
[10:06] <nuxGuru> this is a hardware based intrnal modem
[10:06] <martin_> and installed a program with it
[10:06] <no0tic> xenex, good!
[10:07] <martin_> now I can't run that program
[10:07] <malakhi> _tcc, make sure you've chmodded the actual DIRECTORY not just the files in it.
[10:07] <xenex> no0tic: and now ubuntu = my lover :D
[10:07] <malakhi> _tcc, ie chmod -R 777 /home/ftp (or whatever folder you're using)
[10:07] <martin_> I write "wine <programname and where it is, eg /home>" and then I get an error mesage
[10:07] <DUNFreak> blue-frog, http://pastebin.com/477870
[10:07] <blue-frog> DUNFreak, btw as u erased the us keyb when u were using it normally it's not erased...
[10:07] <ppd> hi! does anybody here have a hotplug map file which includes the lide 25 scanner ?
[10:08] <Definity> hi
[10:08] <no0tic> xenex, very very good
[10:08] <Definity> anyone have kismet running in ubuntu?
[10:08] <DUNFreak> blue-frog, yet another thing that's intuitive under wincrap and just messed itself up in linux :'(
[10:08] <tonyyarusso> nuxGuru: It could be one of those other weird catagories, like "controllerless" or some such thing, so linmodems and the scanModem utility might still be useful for gathering information.
[10:08] <_tcc> malakhi...i think i fucked something up
[10:08] <blue-frog> DUNFreak, so put a key board applet in your tasbar and chhose canadian
[10:08] <malakhi> _tcc, what's it doing?
[10:09] <Newbie3> I am new to the Ubuntu live CD and I have a question
[10:09] <_tcc> 500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable anonymous root
[10:09] <nuxGuru> thanks .. am looiking over the site
[10:09] <_tcc> what is this?
[10:09] <_tcc> lol
[10:09] <tonyyarusso> Newbie3: Just ask it.
[10:09] <santa_shadox> Newie3 hi, welcome btw
[10:09] <DUNFreak> blue-frog, "Keyboard Indicator" sais my layout is the right one... hmn.
[10:09] <Definity> anyone have kismet running in ubuntu?
[10:09] <blue-frog> DUNFreak then erase the english keyb and/or log out and choose save current blah blah before hiting log out again
[10:10] <tonyyarusso> Newbie3, I checked out the live CD the other day too, after having Ubuntu installed for a few months; it was kind of fun.
[10:10] <malakhi> _tcc, not quite sure. i think it's a security feature. are you trying to login as root? or something of the sort?
[10:10] <_tcc> no
[10:10] <martin_> http://pastebin.com/477874
[10:10] <DUNFreak> blue-frog, actually I re-added the us english, then switched to it with the keyboard indicator, and then back to what I wanted... now it works.
[10:10] <DUNFreak> Go figure :(
[10:10] <martin_> that's my error message
[10:10] <TheDracle> Does anybody know how to get Ubuntu to do its autodetection stuff for video?
[10:10] <Newbie3> I want to run Firefox 1.5 -- I have downloaded and unpacked it, but how do you actually compile and run it?
[10:10] <blue-frog> DUNFreak, i dont knoz then sry; zorks fine zith ,e
[10:10] <TheDracle> I know it's dpkg -reconfigure something...
[10:10] <santa_shadox> tonyyarusso, few months :D i loved ubuntu second time i used it :D
[10:10] <_tcc> Wtf....now what?
[10:10] <tonyyarusso> !tell Newbie3 about firefox15
[10:11] <blue-frog> DUNFreak, as u can see...

[10:11] <_tcc> damnit all
[10:11] <Whistler> im trying to use alliases i set up : alias server='gnome-obex-server' it works fine, but is there any way i can make it to run it?
[10:11] <malakhi> _tcc, i'm not sure the ftpd is recognizing you as logged in. i'm afraid i'm not really familiar with vsftp (i've only used proftpd)
[10:11] <Whistler> now it opens in my terminal
[10:11] <Whistler> i want to just run it
[10:11] <Whistler> not in the command line
[10:12] <_tcc> malakhi, how do i get proftpd?
[10:12] <_tcc> Is it better?
[10:12] <malakhi> _tcc, i've never had a problem with it, but i've never really used anything else to give you an honest omparison.
[10:12] <DUNFreak> blue-frog, thanks for the help. The keyboard applet hint hit me :)
[10:12] <santa_shadox> Newbie3, you can go to mozilla home page, download the package .tar.gz, extract it, open folder and run the "sh" file :)
[10:12] <malakhi> _tcc, to install, sudo apt-get install proftpd
[10:13] <Madeye> anyone had any luck with IRDA connection ?
[10:13] <Whistler> anybody knows what i mean?
[10:13] <santa_shadox> Madeye, no i'm searching too for a solution
[10:14] <malakhi> _tcc, but remember to apt-get remove vsftpd first
[10:14] <Whistler> im trying to use alliases i set up : alias server='gnome-obex-server' it works fine, but is there any way i can make it just to run but not open in command line ?
[10:14] <Delvien> VMware > dual booting , too bad vmware cant play games
[10:15] <Madeye> santa_shadox, well I didn't find any solution for bluetooth and IRDA till now, I have build-in of both in my laptop. however I found the best tool to switch wlan smoothly
[10:15] <Epix> how do i install a theme? Im at the menu but I dont know what file it wants to read.
[10:15] <dailyrorschach> Epix: drag the tarball into the theme window
[10:15] <Whistler> like using run command
[10:16] <santa_shadox> Madeye, i have too build in infrared but dunno how to install it
[10:16] <santa_shadox> Madeye, guess i'll leave it and only use it in XP
[10:16] <QMario> !Botsnack
[10:16] <ubotu> thanks qmario :)
[10:16] <dennis_> Does anyone know where the default gnome torrent program puts the torrent files it is using?
[10:16] <dennis_> Because i Just rebooted and dont have the original files :/
[10:16] <Madeye> santa_shadox,  actually it's shame that I have to boot to XP whenever I want to use IRDA or bluetooth.
[10:17] <Viper550> Hello everyone! I'm live from Breezy Badger!
[10:17] <tonyyarusso> santa_shadox, There's a package for enabling IR, and the ThinkWiki mentions it, which might be useful even if it's not an IBM, worth checking out.
[10:17] <santa_shadox> Madeye, uhu
[10:17] <tonyyarusso> Hi Viper550!
[10:17] <Viper550> I had a little scary incident, I use KDM, and one time I booted, I got a console and X didn't work!
[10:17] <nekostar> how can i set up a vnc session so i can see the desktop im actually logged into remotely
[10:17] <_tcc> malakhi: It can't find proftpd.
[10:17] <dennis_> Does anyone know where the default gnome torrent program puts the torrent files it is using?
[10:18] <dennis_> Because i Just rebooted and dont have the original files :/
[10:18] <nekostar> dennis_,  try /home
[10:18] <Viper550> But, a simple command line command saved my life: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:18] <santa_shadox> tonyyarusso ooh, diddn't know, but i'll check it out
[10:18] <dennis_> nekostar, they arent there
[10:18] <nekostar>  /home/username
[10:18] <dennis_> :/
[10:18] <Epix> USB wifi devices are slow as can be.
[10:18] <malakhi> _tcc, sorry. i forgot to tell you that you have to enable universe.
[10:18] <_tcc> how?
[10:19] <_tcc> I am totally on the command line.
[10:19] <tonyyarusso> nekostar, Have you read the documentation for your VNC program?
[10:19] <_tcc> I did a base server install/
[10:19] <Viper550> I'm loving Ubuntu, last time I linuxed we had no LAN under it! But, that was Red Hat 9.
[10:19] <dennis_> Whats a good linux bittorrent client besides Az and 'Bittorrent'
[10:19] <Viper550> Also _tcc, I bet you use IRSSI
[10:19] <nekostar> tonyyarusso, last time i tried it gave me a new gui not the same one
[10:19] <_tcc> Why?
[10:19] <Viper550> Who thinks FreeSans should be the new Ubuntu GUI font default?
[10:19] <nekostar> no.
[10:20] <Viper550> It's more readable than Bitstream Vera
[10:20] <_tcc> How do I enable universe?
[10:20] <Viper550> In fact, I'm using it on X-Chat right now!
[10:20] <Viper550> Uncomment a line in /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:21] <malakhi> _tcc, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesCliHowto
[10:21] <Viper550> This line is clearly marked, the whole file on Ubuntu is annoated for you, just sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:21] <malakhi> the gist is that you edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the universe lines
[10:21] <Viper550> I just said that malakhi
[10:21] <malakhi> yes, i see that
[10:21] <malakhi> slow fingers
[10:21] <christmas-tree-> http://pastebin.com/477787  i got a problem folks
[10:22] <_tcc> I fixed it.
[10:22] <Viper550> Fast Fingers!
[10:22] <malakhi> _tcc, then sudo apt-get update
[10:22] <tonyyarusso> christmas-tree-, Tell us what sort it is to alert us as to who should check your paste.
[10:22] <santa_shadox> christmas-tree-, normally christmas brings presents :p no errors ;);)
[10:22] <Viper550> Oh, does the base Ubuntu come with IRSSI?
[10:22] <malakhi> Viper550, it's not installed by default, if that's what you mean
[10:22] <Viper550> oh
[10:24] <Viper550> I'm going to see if I can get back on in Irssi, if I do, I am a good user!
[10:24] <Viper550> See ya in a min, hopefully
[10:24] <flixil> Hello
[10:25] <Ubunti_Ki> Strange, I have problem installing GPC
[10:25] <odat> anyone know how i install a .tgz  ??
[10:26] <arricka> hello
[10:26] <Delvien> odat you dont, its the equiv of a .zip
[10:26] <flixil> I cannot see some caracters (like `) using amule... All the other programs goes well... Can it be a problem with the locale?
[10:26] <tonyyarusso> odat: You unpack it, and then look for an installer in the unpacked files.
[10:26] <Viper550> I'm back, now using irssi!
[10:26] <malakhi> Viper550, happy now?
[10:27] <Ubunti_Ki> I write " sudo apt-get install gpc" and it starts to install and then comes message that say, could not find package?
[10:27] <Viper550> Wow, this is pretty neat
[10:27] <Viper550> (how do you change the colors?)
[10:27] <Epix> synergy is the shiz
[10:28] <Viper550> How better is this than Xchat?
[10:28] <arricka> I'm having trouble playing DVDs...I get "error reading dvdnav_get_next_block" in totem, and mplayer gives me something similar...do you think it's the dvd drive or something in Ubuntu?
[10:28] <Ubunti_Ki> how do I install gpc ?
[10:28] <Ubunti_Ki> gpc = compilator
[10:28] <mouhoub> hello
[10:28] <christmas-tree-> http://pastebin.com/477787  i got a problem folks  what to do fox
[10:28] <christmas-tree-> folks
[10:28] <Viper550> I really want to make Irssi look good, what can I do malahki?
[10:29] <mouhoub> plz i want to change my startup desktop(Image)
[10:29] <mouhoub> someone can help me
[10:29] <Viper550> Login Manager settings can help you with that
[10:29] <malakhi> Viper550, i'm afraid you're asking the wrong guy. i only use it when xchat isn't available. i like xchat's notification features too much.
[10:30] <Viper550> Oh, you've got the default blue and white too?
[10:30] <malakhi> aye
[10:30] <mouhoub> and if i want to download someone from Internet
[10:30] <Viper550> Guess the background is decided by the terminal app
[10:30] <malakhi> think so
[10:31] <mouhoub> sorry but i dont understund
[10:32] <[DeCaf] > Just installed ubuntu here and trying to compile a simple C-file. Get the error: "/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory". Must be missing some package, but which one?
[10:32] <mouhoub> thank U
[10:33] <Viper550> Cool, you must be missing GCC! apt-get install gcc (with a sudo of course)
[10:33] <Viper550> Wow, this is cool!
[10:33] <[DeCaf] > Viper550: gcc is installed. :/
[10:33] <johndarkhorse> Viper550: installing 'build-essential' will get you gcc, autotools and others for a more complete build environment
[10:33] <Viper550> Ummm, I had to install that because it didn't give me it when I wanted to compile KBFX
[10:34] <Viper550> (yes, I mainly use KDE, but wanted to still have Gnome)
[10:34] <dennis_> Hello
[10:34] <dennis_> Guys, I need some real help :/
[10:34] <dennis_> I really screwed up the xserver
[10:34] <[DeCaf] > Viper550: Ah, build-essential may do it. Saw it installed libc6-dev which sounds like an important package ;)
[10:34] <Viper550> I'm just in Gnome 'cause startx brought me here. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:34] <dennis_> And am running irssi because i cant even boot into gnome :/
[10:35] <dennis_> Stupid guide on how to change the default driver to the ati driver
[10:35] <dennis_> Screwed me all up
[10:35] <[DeCaf] > johndarkhorse: Thanks, the build-essential did it! =)
[10:35] <_tcc> malakhi, I have proftpd
[10:35] <Viper550> I'm using IRSSI because it's cool, I would have if I didn't know how to fix it
[10:35] <_tcc> and I set up 2 dirs in /home/ftp/
[10:35] <Viper550> Also, the reconfigure thing asks you about a X driver, and you can select ATI!
[10:35] <dabaR_> There is a free book on Debian from O'Reilly online. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/debian/chapter/book/index.html
[10:35] <_tcc> Now what?
[10:35] <malakhi> _tcc, is it working ok?
[10:35] <_tcc> It never started ftp
[10:35] <_tcc> no
[10:35] <_tcc> lol
[10:36] <ElitePete> hmm, i had to force quit a program now all my icons are gone, how do i fix this without rebooting
[10:36] <malakhi> _tcc, you may have  to run sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start
[10:36] <dabaR_> ElitePete: icons on the desktop, or in the panels?
[10:36] <michael> Can somebody tell me where I can create a shortcut for a application?
[10:36] <ElitePete> dabaR, desktop i tried killall gnome-panel already
[10:36] <dabaR_> michael: where would you like it?
[10:36] <dabaR_> ElitePete: killall nautilus
[10:36] <ElitePete> dabaR, ok
[10:37] <ElitePete> dabaR, thanks much.
[10:37] <dabaR_> michael: try right clicking on the desktop and add a launcher
[10:37] <blanky> in GNOME, is there a way to make it so that whe you double click a .py file or ight click it, theres an option that runs the script
[10:37] <johndarkhorse> michael: anywhere you like
[10:37] <_tcc> malakhi, it said it is started from inetd
[10:37] <michael> I will create a shortcut z.B. to start a programm like apwal
[10:37] <_tcc> or xinetd
[10:37] <ElitePete> dabaR_, thanks much :-)
[10:37] <dabaR_> ElitePete: ya, Im the other guy too, just at home...did that help?
[10:38] <ElitePete> dabaR_, yep worked perfectly. hehe it was an autoname complete error
[10:38] <michael> I would push z.b. CTRL + 3. Then the Programm apwal starts
[10:38] <navarone> dabaR, I always wondered who "da other guy" was...lol
[10:38] <dabaR_> ElitePete: good.
[10:38] <Viper550> Anyone who has X problems: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then type startx after it's done
[10:38] <malakhi> or somthing like that
[10:39] <dabaR_> navarone: what? heh.
[10:39] <dabaR_> michael: what is z.b.?
[10:39] <Viper550> What I typed is what got me back into X
[10:39] <michael> z.b. for example
[10:39] <_tcc> malakhi, what does it want from me?!!?!
[10:40] <malakhi> _tcc, did the installer offer you a choice between standalone and inetd?
[10:40] <blanky> how can I change my default time
[10:40] <blanky> *font
[10:40] <dabaR_> You want to make a hot key that ctrl+3 opens an application?
[10:40] <Viper550> Are there command line switches to start an application in Gnome Terminal on a specific profile?
[10:40] <michael> dabaR, right
[10:40] <dabaR_> blanky: is there an option under System>Preferences?
[10:40] <malakhi> _tcc, because it should have
[10:40] <blanky> hmm...
[10:40] <johndarkhorse> Viper550: if the user has bungled their install, they need to choose the VESA driver during their reconfiguration (then they can start over with ATI or nvidia)
[10:40] <dabaR_> michael: I do not know. Search the forums it may have that shown there. search for gnome hotkeys.
[10:41] <blanky> thanks dabaR you're my pal
[10:41] <blanky> waht's the default font, Sans?
[10:41] <blanky> cause I think mine got changed
[10:41] <michael> dabaR_ thx
[10:41] <richard_> Does anyone here use a SD card reader for SD memory cards on Ubuntu?
[10:41] <Viper550> I didn't have to choose Vesa, ATI was autoselected!
[10:41] <_tcc> malakhi, i said inet or whatever
[10:42] <_tcc> how do i change it to standalone?
[10:42] <Viper550> Goodbye, how do you leave a channel?
[10:42] <dabaR_> Usuallt sans serif would be default on screens I expect.
[10:42] <no0tic> Viper550, /part #channel
[10:42] <dabaR_> !-books
[10:42] <ubotu> dabaR_: I give up, what is it?
[10:42] <dabaR_> !books
[10:42] <ubotu> from memory, books is http://www.debian.org/doc/books - Debian, and http://www.nl.debian.org/doc/manuals/book-suggestions/ - GNU/Linux
[10:43] <no0tic> !dapper
[10:43] <ubotu> The 6.04 version of Ubuntu will be called the "Dapper Drake" release. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperDrake
[10:43] <_tcc> malakhi, in the .conf file should I change that one line to standalone?
[10:43] <_tcc> for server type?
[10:43] <malakhi> _tcc, sudo dpkg-reconfigure proftpd
[10:43] <malakhi> _tcc, then choose standalone when it asks
[10:43] <dabaR_> ubotu: books is also http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/debian/chapter/book/index.html
[10:43] <ubotu> okay, dabaR_
[10:43] <blanky> !mp3
[10:43] <ubotu> from memory, mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[10:45] <malakhi> _tcc, you shouldn't have to change that in  the .conf if you used dpkg-reconfigure
[10:45] <_tcc> Well that's what it is telling me.
[10:45] <_tcc> It says it can't launch standalone or inetd.
[10:45] <rabbit1> !w32codecs
[10:45] <ubotu> w32codecs is, like, totally, a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[10:45] <dabaR_> malakhi: you know how to start daemons in Ubuntu? the invoke-rc.d thing?
[10:46] <malakhi> dabaR_, eh?
[10:46] <_tcc> jesus christ, a mere ftp server.
[10:46] <malakhi> i always use  the init scripts
[10:47] <dabaR_> sudo invoke-rc.d proftpd start
[10:47] <malakhi> dabaR_, i think that's the same basic idea
[10:47] <dabaR_> ya it is.
[10:47] <malakhi> ok
[10:47] <dabaR_> Just wondering why not just start the server from your discussion.
[10:48] <_tcc> malakhi, maybe I need a restart.
[10:48] <dabaR_> _tcc: you should use sftp ftp is unsafe, no encryption for passwords.
[10:48] <_tcc> I know.
[10:48] <malakhi> dabaR_, yeah. we've already been over  that.
[10:48] <malakhi> that's why i'm having to run this through as we go
[10:49] <malakhi> it's been a long time since i set up an ftp server
[10:49] <malakhi> _tcc, so, when you run /etc/init.d/proftpd start, or invoke-rc.d proftpd start, what happens?
[10:50] <popey> ET on jolt4 anyone?
[10:50] <_tcc> malakhi, I rebooted and it looked
[10:50] <_tcc> like
[10:50] -MastaP:#ubuntu- http://MastaP.SuP.Fr I have something to show you, it's a mind reader that reads what you see!  To install something it needs to install something else.
[10:54] <blanky> sorry, someone sent me that message, Seveas, I didn't know what it was, sorry
[10:54] <jean> dabaR_: i see
[10:54] <dabaR_> _tcc: ftp localhost?
[10:54] <QMario> What is wrong with this website?
[10:54] <_tcc> no
[10:54] <Seveas> blanky, just ignore it
[10:54] <dabaR_> _tcc: do it.
[10:54] <malakhi> _tcc, you can't usually connect to ftp AS ftp
[10:54] <Seveas> QMario, it was spam, ignore it
[10:54] <jean> dabaR_: just something beyond our understanding?
[10:54] <QMario> I didn't know what it was either?
[10:54] <blanky> Seveas, okay :(
[10:54] <_tcc> what
[10:54] <_tcc> The server is <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:54] <QMario> Okay. :(
[10:54] <_tcc> ftp <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:54] <_tcc> connection refused
[10:54] <kbrooks> whiners!
[10:54] <dabaR_> jean: well, it is so, to walk, youhave to crawl, so to install blah, you need to install bl
[10:54] <dabaR_> or something like that.
[10:55] <dabaR_> _tcc: ya, that is your router helping you. Try ftp localhost from that machine.
[10:55] <malakhi> _tcc, try ftp username@url
[10:55] <cvtecxp> boa noite
[10:55] <tukuyomi_> jean, if you want ONLY libsdl-mixer1.2-dev, you can get it via libsdl-mixer1.2-dev, but you'll miss all dpendancies...
[10:55] <dabaR_> and it wont work
[10:55] <tukuyomi_> jean, http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
[10:55] <jean> dabaR_: yes it requires much time and patiences on dialup
[10:56] <dabaR_> jean: patience is a virtue.
[10:56] <_tcc> tom@ubuntu:~$ ftp <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:56] <_tcc> ftp: connect: Connection refused
[10:56] <_tcc> look
[10:56] <dabaR_> time is a commodity
[10:56] <_tcc> it won't connect
[10:56] <tukuyomi_> (i missed my copy/paste ^^ )
[10:56] <dabaR_> _tcc: I told you, go to the computer on which ftp is installed, and "ftp localhost" that will test it.
[10:56] <jean> dabaR_: very good quality in men
[10:56] <NewbieWithUBuntu> I am trying to Install Firefox 1.5.  I have managed to untar the file, but how do you actually run the thing?  A firefox directory is sitting on the Desktop.
[10:56] <dabaR_> jean: so my ex told me.
[10:56] <jean> and women
[10:56] <knoppix_> I have two Operating System, Ubuntu & WIndows, but I don't have GRUB. How do I enable it ?
[10:57] <_tcc> Connection refused.
[10:57] <_tcc> The ftp is*NOT* working.
[10:57] <dabaR_> _tcc: for localhost?
[10:57] <_tcc> oui
[10:57] <_tcc> ftp does not even start on the machine
[10:57] <dabaR_> from that same machine?
[10:57] <_tcc> YE
[10:57] <_tcc> YES!
[10:57] <rabbit1> knoppix did you install on a eperate drive? or on a partitoin?
[10:57] <rabbit1> *seperate
[10:57] <knoppix_> what is partitain ?
[10:58] <dabaR_> _tcc: did you use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure proftpd to set it up to start as standalone?
[10:58] <jean> tukuyomi_: are you telling me i dont need to go along with the dependencies?
[10:58] <_tcc> yep
[10:58] <_tcc> doesnt work
[10:58] <knoppix_> Well, the thing is that WIndows erased the Grub.. so I cannot un Ubuntu anymore.
[10:58] <blanky> I make a Templates folder in Home to make templates for files right?
[10:58] <dabaR_> _tcc: from now on, test only with ftp localhost.
[10:58] <rabbit1> was ubuntu on a seperate harddrive?
[10:58] <david> hi all
[10:58] <tukuyomi_> nope, not with http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ but it might not fully work
[10:58] <dabaR_> NewbieWithUBuntu: you are trying to compile something. Here is what ubotu thinks about it.
[10:58] <knoppix_> no. It was in the same HD. I has different partitions
[10:59] <david> can someone answer a question?
[10:59] <dabaR_> !compiling
[10:59] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware
[10:59] <dabaR_> I cant believe he let me down.
[10:59] <dabaR_> !ask
[10:59] <knoppix_> I see that my Windows hasn't erasd my Ubuntu partition. As I can see from Knoppix Live CD and Ubuntu Live cd...
[10:59] <jean> sounds nice but im on dialup
[10:59] <blanky> guys, dabaR, you know how you create a folder in home to make templates for files right?
[10:59] <malakhi> _tcc, let me think on this. i've just installed it on my server  back home to make sure i wasn't forgetting something,  and it  worked out of the box for me.
[10:59] <knoppix_> so, I want to recover the Grub ;)

[11:01] <david> im like "linux noob" so i cant figure out how to install things.. how do I install files ive downloaded.. ive heard about using terminal but how do I use it?
[11:01] <dailyrorschach> david: what are you trying to download much of what you can get can be done through packages
[11:01] <blanky> dont double post (!kick)
[11:01] <dabaR> michael_: it is a little bit in deutch.
[11:01] <david> edonkey right now but other things too.. media players and stuff

[11:02] <knoppix_> Rabbitl: I'm follwoing this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113
[11:02] <knoppix_> but can't understand it
[11:02] <_tcc> friggen christmas
[11:02] <_tcc> I need to go...
[11:02] <david> how does synaptic work?
[11:02] <_tcc> lol
[11:02] <_tcc> Stupid ftp.
[11:02] <blanky> guys, in XMMS, when playing an mp3 file (i have the codecs), it says PLEASE CHECK THAT Your soundcard is configured properly, you have the correct output plugin selected, and no other program is blocking the soundcard
[11:02] <dabaR> david: http://dabar.selfip.org/synaptic.html is a tutorial for installing.
[11:02] <blanky> however, playing mp3 works perfectly in rhythm box
[11:03] <malakhi> _tcc, type ps ax | grep proftpd
[11:03] <_tcc> Well, thanks anyway.
[11:03] <_tcc> ok
[11:03] <dailyrorschach> blanky: I have the same problem blanky
[11:03] <david> dabar thx =)
[11:03] <dailyrorschach> blanky: I can use any other program, everything else works, except xmms
[11:03] <blanky> dailyrorschach, yeah, but once i click ok sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt lol
[11:03] <dabaR> blanky: run "nohup esd&" in a terminal.
[11:03] <_tcc> malakhi, wtf
[11:03] <blanky> but xmms pwns :(
[11:03] <blanky> dabaR, thanks!
[11:03] <_tcc> it says its running
[11:03] <blanky> you got that dailyrorschach ?
[11:03] <dailyrorschach> yep
[11:03] <dabaR> blanky: and close all sound programs.
[11:03] <blanky> *writes it down* thanks dabaR! :)
[11:03] <dabaR> blanky: did it work?
[11:03] <blanky> yah
[11:04] <_tcc> brb
[11:04] <_tcc> I need to go
[11:04] <_tcc> really
[11:04] <knoppix_> :(
[11:04] <malakhi> _tcc, if proftpd is running, it will return two lines, and  one of them will be proftpd: (accepting connections)
[11:04] <_tcc> eek bye
[11:04] <malakhi> _tcc, well, good luck
[11:04] <dailyrorschach> dabaR: I have the same problem as blanky, what is it that command is doing
[11:04] <ElitePete> anyone in here know how in gimp to change between layers? :-)
[11:04] <dabaR> blanky: ok, then, go System>Preferences>Sound or something like that...
[11:04] <rabbit1> knoppix, hang on
[11:04] <dabaR> dailyrorschach: it starts your sound server.
[11:04] <blanky> dabaR, thanks
[11:04] <knoppix_> ok :)
[11:04] <dailyrorschach> dabaR: ok cool, I hate just putting in commands without knowing what they're doing
[11:04] <dabaR> blanky: are you there? There should be a start sound server when logging in, or automatically check box, that you need checked off.
[11:05] <dabaR> dailyrorschach: a good thing.
[11:05] <blanky> dabaR, yeah I said thanks! I got it man, thanks thanks thanks
[11:05] <jean> if an app is written in c and has bindings to other apps. what does this mean if you could explain it to me
[11:05] <blanky> dabaR, do you hear me?
[11:05] <dabaR> blanky: you checked off start the sound server?
[11:05] <dabaR> welcome?
[11:05] <dabaR> is that it?
[11:05] <blanky> so i have to check off enable sound server startup, so that it doesnt start?
[11:05] <shwag> trying to configure gaim-rhythmbox, but i get   checking for gaim... configure: error: Package requirements (gaim >= 0.79) were not met.
[11:05] <blanky> right dabaR?
[11:06] <dabaR> so that it does start, instead of starting it manually with the command I gave you first.
[11:06] <dabaR> And also tell dailyrorschach how to do it if he did not get it.
[11:06] <dailyrorschach> dabaR: nah, I got it
[11:06] <blanky> dabaR, it was already checked
[11:07] <blanky> dabaR, it was already checked lol, it supposedly already started at startup
[11:07] <blanky> and it did, i heard the log in sounds and all
[11:07] <blanky> it was just xmms
[11:07] <existance> how do i tell if i have mysql installed on apache?
[11:07] <Epix> whats the difference between BMP and XMMS
[11:07] <NewIRC> Gnome 2.13.3 this is the last gnome build ?
[11:07] <dabaR> dailyrorschach: nohup means do not kill this command when I exit this terminal I typed it in. The & means run this command in the background so I can still use this terminal while you run that command. esd is the command to start the sound server.
[11:08] <blanky> lol thanks
[11:08] <dabaR> blanky: find the option to use esd as your default sound daemon in those sound settings, rather.
[11:08] <dailyrorschach> ok, that makes a lot more sense explained now, I mean i'm not a total idiot, just new to linux, just having to relearn a new language
[11:08] <existance> how do i tell if i have mysql installed on apache?
[11:08] <dabaR> Epix: bmp is prettier cause it uses a different graphical toolkit.
[11:08] <existance> apache2
[11:08] <blanky> dabaR, where?
[11:08] <dabaR> blanky: no idea, I am at work now.
[11:08] <blanky> np, thanks anyways
[11:09] <dabaR> knoppix_: do you need to restore your ubuntu after installing windows?
[11:09] <blanky> !recoverubuntu
[11:09] <ubotu> blanky: Are you smoking crack?
[11:09] <rabbit1> knoppix....     there seem to be several ways to do it..  command line or by running the installer to a certain point... but that doesn't seem like a good idea
[11:10] <knoppix_> dabar. something like that... but I see that my UBuntu is not dead. Since I can see the partition using tqparted in the Live CD
[11:10] <Ralken>  sudo killall -HUP inetd- I ran this command and I get - inetd: no process killed
[11:10] <Ralken> ,  I cut and pasted this so is there a typo somewhere
[11:10] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell blanky about recover
[11:10] <rabbit1> I would try that resource cd if I were you...    unless dabaR has a better idea
[11:10] <knoppix_> The thing is that when I turn on the Comp. It automatically runs WIndows, without leting me choose what OS to run...
[11:10] <dabaR> knoppix_:
[11:10] <dabaR> !restoregrub
[11:10] <ubotu> dabaR: Do they come in packets of five?
[11:10] <blanky> johndarkhorse, lol, i was trying to tell that other dude that wanted it
[11:11] <dabaR> !grub
[11:11] <ubotu> rumour has it, grub is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[11:11] <knoppix_> yeah.. and I tried to use the Installed CD as directed by the How-to. but I was lost in step number 4
[11:11] <dabaR> existance:
[11:11] <dabaR> !lamp
[11:11] <ubotu> hmm... lamp is Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP, one of the standard internet server installations. Installing LAMP in Ubuntu is fairly straightforward. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP
[11:12] <dabaR> foampeace: explain to get an answer.
[11:13] <knoppix_> I am reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com//GrubHowto
[11:13] <blanky> where's the mount windows hard drive howto page
[11:13] <blanky> !mountntfs
[11:13] <ubotu> well, mountntfs is for help accessing that pesky permission denied windows partition, read  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[11:14] <paal> do any of you know some good repositories i can add for ubuntu?
[11:14] <arctic> merry christmas everyone!, sorry but i hope smbdy can help me, my ubuntu clock in breezy badger 64bit version is running too fast, is this an apic error?
[11:14] <johndarkhorse> paal: just these from ubotu
[11:14] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell paal about repos
[11:14] <johndarkhorse> paal: using non ubuntu binaries will hose your system
[11:14] <NewbieWithUBuntu> Can anyone recommend a good firewall for use by newbies with ubuntu?  I am an (ex-)Windows user.
[11:15] <johndarkhorse> NewbieWithUBuntu: there is no need for a firewall with a default installation
[11:15] <johndarkhorse> NewbieWithUBuntu: there is no reason for a lot of things here that are required on windows
[11:16] <arctic> can somebody give me a tip plz?
[11:16] <NewbieWithUBuntu> John your response begs the question: Why can you say this? How is this so?
[11:16] <knoppix_> guys
[11:16] <johndarkhorse> NewbieWithUBuntu: simple. this is not windows, and doesnt have it's fallabilities

[11:25] <dailyrorschach> Gatorade: what was your problem?
[11:25] <Gatorade> Cause my mouse freezes when I run Ubuntu
[11:25] <portingSAIS> eric_: install tmpreaper
[11:25] <portingSAIS> eric_: also, you can set firefox to only accept cookies during the current session
[11:25] <Gatorade> It doesn't respond
[11:26] <blanky> Gatorade, judging linux with the linux live CDs is highly discouraged
[11:26] <eric_> thanks, I'll try both methods
[11:26] <Gatorade> I wanted to test the program before installing it
[11:26] <portingSAIS> eric_: tmpreaper may be in universe
[11:26] <portingSAIS> Gatorade: what sort of mouse?
[11:26] <Gatorade> Ge optical
[11:27] <portingSAIS> USB?  PS/2?  Serial?
[11:27] <Gatorade> It's not a usb
[11:27] <Gatorade> The other 2 I'm not sure
[11:27] <sorbix> hey sorry i know theres a lot of people here, but during installation partman freezes at 52% examining my hard disk for partitioning... i can switch consoles so my whole pc doesnt freeze, and i can kill the process and keep trying, but every time it freezes at 52%
[11:27] <portingSAIS> what shape is the plug at the end of the cable?
[11:27] <eric_> ok, I'll check it out. Thanks for the advise
[11:27] <Gatorade> Round
[11:27] <portingSAIS> is it a trapezoid or a circle?
[11:27] <redvelvet> can someone help me install java?

[11:27] <Gatorade> circle
[11:27] <Gatorade> yeah
[11:28] <toya__> redvelvet, are you installing jdk or jre?
[11:28] <FliesLikeABrick> what is the root password to the ubuntu livecd?
[11:28] <portingSAIS> do you have any special software on the windows side that does something for the mouse?
[11:28] <redvelvet> toya_ i dont know
[11:28] <Gatorade> I never installed any kind of softward for the mouse I just ran windows install thats it
[11:29] <dailyrorschach> FliesLikeABrick: toor
[11:29] <FliesLikeABrick> thank
[11:29] <FliesLikeABrick> s
[11:29] <Gatorade> Is there something I need to shut off?
[11:29] <Gatorade> disable
[11:29] <portingSAIS> Gatorade: okay, that's a good sign.  Chances are the live CD just isn't as good at detecting the mouse as the installer would be.  THere's always a few differences.  Your mouse should work during a normal install.  is there another mouse you could borrow while you try out ubuntu?
[11:29] <toya__> redvelvet, what do you need java for?
[11:29] <febreezy> so i was having trouble with sound on windows xp.  i popped in ubuntu live cd. and sound works. but i want to be able to access music files on my hard drive. i suppose i have to mount the hard drive. but how?
[11:29] <toya__> redvelvet, to program java programs or to run?
[11:30] <redvelvet> toya__ i need it for internet
[11:30] <portingSAIS> Gatorade: also, do you know which ubuntu release your liveCD is?
[11:30] <Gatorade> actually no but I'll see what I can do thanks
[11:30] <redvelvet> toya__ firefox
[11:30] <Gatorade> Oh let me check
[11:30] <slide> Isnt there a php plugin for eclipse, is it just not in synaptic?

[11:32] <Gatorade> I'm just assuming my mouse isn't compatible with linux

[11:33] <knoppix> Hey
[11:33] <knoppix> i'm back
[11:33] <portingSAIS> Gatorade: I doubt it.  PS/2 mice are pretty standard.  i've used many with ubuntu
[11:33] <portingSAIS> Gatorade: but it's possible they do something funny
[11:33] <Gatorade> Well I noticed something else on the installation
[11:33] <knoppix> My Grub problems wasn't solved :(
[11:33] <eric_> i just installed tmpreaper, what next do I need to use a terminal to run it
[11:33] <Gatorade> The hot plug in doesn't seem to run
[11:33] <knoppix> I just wanted to say that... I got to go. but I;m sure I will be back
[11:33] <Gatorade> Everything else is marked as ok except that
[11:33] <knoppix> See you guys
[11:33] <portingSAIS> eric_: no, it should run every night and clear out any files older than a week
[11:34] <knoppix> and Merry Christmas to all of you !
[11:34] <portingSAIS> Gatorade: aha, yeah.  that sounds like a livecd problem.
[11:34] <Ralken> how can I find out if inetd is running?
[11:34] <portingSAIS> Ralken: ps fauxw | grep inetd
[11:34] <portingSAIS> Ralken: ps fauxw | grep inetd | grep -v grep

[11:34] <eric_> cool, so I don't need to do anything.
[11:35] <Xmasmoo> blanky: GUI or no GUI? ncftp, gftp
[11:35] <funman> ok so I have a little problem, I got the latest Ubuntu 3 days ago, but for reasons unknown it's having roblems connecting to my home network (to the router), the wireless uses a WPA key, and it can't conenct at all to that (It doesn't even catch the SSID that's set to broadcast). When I try going wired it lets me access the network, but not the internet...Any of you smart people know what might be the problem ?
[11:36] <blanky> Xmasmoo, GUI, i already have gftp i was wondering if there were others, thanks anyways
[11:36] <blanky> man i was sad, i thought you were dead by now
[11:36] <blanky> probably shot by some gangsta
[11:36] <concept10> funman, is the card configured?
[11:36] <blanky> or something
[11:37] <portingSAIS> man, this channel is a zoo!
[11:37] <funman> concept10, it should all be fine
[11:37] <funman> it worked the last time I installed Ubuntu, but I had to go back to windows because of school...
[11:37] <ssstormy> Is migrating linux to a different harddrive as simple as copy/paste the contents of your partition, and adding a new boot manager to your MBR?
[11:37] <concept10> funman, as in do you have the proper drivers for your card?
[11:37] <ssstormy> or is there invisible stuff ingrained in the partition, like the windows registry?
[11:37] <no0tic> ssstormy, no
[11:38] <no0tic> ssstormy, no, simply configuration files
[11:38] <funman> concept10, yes I do have the right drivers
[11:38] <no0tic> ssstormy, if you have linux installed on /dev/hda1
[11:38] <Gatorade> Should I try Installing Ubuntu directly to my hard drive on another partition and seeing how that runs?
[11:38] <no0tic> ssstormy, it will mount /dev/hda1 on / for instance
[11:38] <scenestar> good eve all
[11:38] <Ralken> portingSAIS,  does this mean its running?  5624  0.0  0.0   2932   400 pts/0    R+   17:38   0:00      \_ grep inetd
[11:38] <febreezy> would anyone like to help me attempt to get music playing in rhythmbox?
[11:38] <no0tic> ssstormy, you have to tell hime not to do so, if you change partition
[11:39] <scenestar> febreezy: what is the problem?
[11:39] <no0tic> febreezy, mp3 are not read?
[11:39] <scenestar> automatix
[11:39] <febreezy> scenestar: im on a live cd and i dont know how to access the mp3 files on my hard drive
[11:39] <scenestar> no shit
[11:39] <concept10> funman, install network-manager
[11:39] <scenestar> just like
[11:39] <ssstormy> no0tic, I mean can I just do a "cp -a / /mount-point-for-partition-on-new-drive"?
[11:39] <scenestar> mount the windir
[11:39] <no0tic> ssstormy, no
[11:39] <ssstormy> and then of course install a bootloader
[11:39] <scenestar> theres a thread on the forums
[11:39] <ssstormy> no?  how would I do it?
[11:40] <funman> concept10, I can't install anything without the internet though...which I can't access at all...
[11:40] <scenestar> search for the thread on how to get all your windows fonts on linux
[11:40] <no0tic> ssstormy, reinstall it
[11:40] <scenestar> theres a command in there
[11:40] <ssstormy> no0tic, I have to?
[11:40] <scenestar> just copy paste that itno your terminal
[11:40] <no0tic> ssstormy, it's the easyest way
[11:40] <no0tic> ssstormy, it's the easiest way
[11:40] <scenestar> and you can listen to you juarezed mp3s
[11:40] <concept10> funman, you cant connect with wired ethernet?
[11:40] <scenestar> now
[11:41] <scenestar> i have a few questions
[11:41] <Evil_Whisper> hello guys
[11:41] <ssstormy> no0tic, I'm thinking it might not be, with the work I've put into this install... plus the downloads i put into it :) (all those .deb's)
[11:41] <scenestar> for xmass i wanna give myself the ultimate gift
[11:41] <funman> not even with wired...it gets to the router...some times...but that's a rare happening, and I only get internet when it actually connects
[11:41] <scenestar> a life of opensource software
[11:41] <scenestar> and a free os
[11:41] <scenestar> but before i move over, i need to migrate a few things
[11:41] <no0tic> ssstormy, you want to replace harddisks?
[11:41] <ssstormy> yeah
[11:41] <funman> every time I want the ethernet to work I have to reset my router 3-4 times...
[11:41] <scenestar> is there any way i can play my pirated windows games?
[11:41] <no0tic> ssstormy, or add a new one?
[11:41] <ssstormy> well I want to add a new one
[11:41] <scenestar> and is there a way i can get msn to run?
[11:41] <ssstormy> and migrate to the new one
[11:42] <ssstormy> but possibly still use te old one
[11:42] <Evil_Whisper> scenestar: use gaim :-)
[11:42] <no0tic> ssstormy, reinstall
[11:42] <Evil_Whisper> scenestar: or aMSN
[11:42] <scenestar> Evil_Whisper: i need the cam thing
[11:42] <scenestar> and the added screen name thing
[11:42] <scenestar> i allready use gaim for AIM
[11:42] <scenestar> but my gf uses msn
[11:42] <scenestar> and shes a bitch about these things
[11:42] <scenestar> and i like to see her on cam when im away
[11:42] <Evil_Whisper> try wine :p
[11:43] <scenestar> too hard
[11:43] <apokryphos> scenestar: language, please.
[11:43] <scenestar> im lazy
[11:43] <no0tic> scenestar, gf = grand father? ;)
[11:43] <Evil_Whisper> Has anyone gotten steam to work on wine 0.9.4?
[11:43] <scenestar> Evil_Whisper: just use cedega
[11:43] <no0tic> scenestar, she's a bitch on webcam?
[11:43] <Evil_Whisper> Don't want to pay for it lol
[11:43] <scenestar> *cough* torrents *cough*
[11:43] <no0tic> scenestar, wow, how lucky you are ;)
[11:43] <scenestar> meh i want to run linux dammit
[11:44] <Evil_Whisper> wine 0.9.3 ran it fine before I had to do a re-install but now it freezes up
[11:44] <no0tic> scenestar, try kopete with kde3.5
[11:44] <scenestar> nah
[11:44] <scenestar> im a gnome guy
[11:44] <no0tic> scenestar, it supports cams
[11:44] <no0tic> scenestar, mee to
[11:44] <apokryphos> Kopete does very well with webcam support now
[11:44] <scenestar> 0_o
[11:44] <Evil_Whisper> scenestar: install it in Gnome =P
[11:44] <scenestar> meh
[11:44] <ssstormy> speaking of new harddrives, does ubuntu support SATA as an install target?
[11:44] <apokryphos> of course
[11:44] <scenestar> ssstormy: better than doze
[11:44] <no0tic> scenestar, you can simply install it from the kde3.5 repository
[11:44] <scenestar> yeah, but i mean
[11:44] <scenestar> i NEED msn
[11:44] <scenestar> my SOCIAL life depends on it
[11:44] <apokryphos> scenestar: why?
[11:45] <ssstormy> hm
[11:45] <scenestar> all my luser friends use it
[11:45] <apokryphos> why not Kopete
[11:45] <Evil_Whisper> Kopete has camera support
[11:45] <ssstormy> as i understood it, SATA was a lot of work to get going right
[11:45] <slide> omfg firefox cant access any pages
[11:45] <slide> wtf
[11:45] <no0tic> scenestar, with kopete you can connect to msn
[11:45] <scenestar> i know that
[11:45] <no0tic> slide, control DNS
[11:45] <ssstormy> slide, make sure you're connected
[11:45] <scenestar> i just dont like the interface etc
[11:45] <slide> ssstormy, lol im talking to you now arent I? hehe
[11:45] <apokryphos> .....
[11:45] <slide> no0tic, huh?
[11:45] <ssstormy> slide, if you think it's really firefox's fault try a new browser
[11:45] <Evil_Whisper> scenestar: try aMSN thats the only other thing i can think of
[11:45] <Gatorade> Is it okay to open a second partition running ububntu??
[11:45] <scenestar> also, if i were to run games on cedega
[11:45] <no0tic> slide, DNS are ok?
[11:45] <scenestar> what about trainers?
[11:46] <ssstormy> slide, ... ?
[11:46] <scenestar> how can i run my trainers
[11:46] <slide> ssstormy, it just happened heh and my ie (in wine) can connect heh
[11:46] <apokryphos> amsn is uuurgly
[11:46] <scenestar> apokryphos: i agree
[11:46] <slide> no0tic, should be, i dont know why it wouldnt
[11:46] <ssstormy> slide, I see
[11:46] <scenestar> plus i want the real deal
[11:46] <Evil_Whisper> apokryphos: there is a tutorial to fix that on the forums
[11:46] <scenestar> with the annoing nudges etc
[11:46] <slide> hrm, opera cant access internet
[11:46] <ssstormy> slide, that's strange
[11:46] <Evil_Whisper> scenestar: wine is the only way if at all possible
[11:46] <scenestar> Evil_Whisper: that just adds extra images
[11:46] <apokryphos> Evil_Whisper: might look into it, but Kopete currently pretty much fulfills all my needs
[11:46] <no0tic> slide, very strange
[11:46] <scenestar> i like a simple UI
[11:46] <apokryphos> would be nice if it had the whiteboard thing ;-)
[11:46] <scenestar> i love the win98 theme
[11:47] <slide> I think my dns servers might have gone down
[11:47] <scenestar> because it is consisten
[11:47] <scenestar> t
[11:47] <Evil_Whisper> Is kopete ugly?
[11:47] <scenestar> hell yeah
[11:47] <apokryphos> Evil_Whisper: Kopete is beautiful
[11:47] <Evil_Whisper> in gnome?
[11:47] <slide> brb
[11:47] <scenestar> all linux apps look godawfull
[11:47] <scenestar> for such a powerfull os, it has a crippeled gui
[11:47] <portingSAIS> Big Question: How am I supposed to file a bug?
[11:47] <no0tic> portingSAIS, bugzilla.ubuntu.com
[11:47] <scenestar> portingSAIS: theres a bug reporting tool installed by default
[11:48] <scenestar> anyways, im sure i want linux, if only if it were for raw socket support and easy apache install
[11:48] <scenestar> but i need msn
[11:48] <portingSAIS> scenestar: yeah, but all my reportbug bugs end up getting dropped on the floor
[11:48] <scenestar> and games
[11:48] <portingSAIS> scenestar: I get a bounce message from the ubuntu-users list
[11:48] <scenestar> hmmmmm
[11:48] <scenestar> NAT?
[11:48] <portingSAIS> no.
[11:48] <apokryphos> http://giannaros.org/kopete.jpg -- the standard window
[11:48] <portingSAIS> that's not the problem
[11:48] <scenestar> what is the exact error?
[11:49] <scenestar> excuse me a bit
[11:49] <Fred> does postfix send and/or receive email?
[11:49] <portingSAIS> Your mail to 'ubuntu-users' with the subject
[11:49] <portingSAIS> python2.4-pygame: Pygame throws an exception when trying to set a
[11:49] <portingSAIS> font
[11:49] <portingSAIS> Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.
[11:49] <portingSAIS> the trouble is not that I'm not sending the mail
[11:49] <scenestar> hmmm
[11:49] <portingSAIS> I get a copy of it at the address I use for reportbug
[11:49] <scenestar> odd
[11:49] <Evil_Whisper> aporkyphos: is that in gnome or KDE?
[11:49] <Gatorade> Can someone give me some advice?
[11:49] <apokryphos> For the actual Kopete window you get a lot of choices (especially since it's now integrated with Khotnewstuff). I use Clear: http://kdelook.org/content/show.php?content=28743
[11:49] <scenestar> sendmail issues?
[11:49] <scenestar> meh
[11:50] <portingSAIS> scenestar: are you talking to me?
[11:50] <scenestar> yeah
[11:50] <portingSAIS> scenestar: I have 0 mail problems
[11:50] <portingSAIS> 0
[11:50] <apokryphos> Evil_Whisper: in KDE. It shouldn't really look different in GNOME
[11:50] <portingSAIS> but the reportbug tool is set to send mail to ubuntu-users, which is a moderated list
[11:50] <Evil_Whisper> ok
[11:50] <portingSAIS> and that list is saying "I do not want any bug reports unless you've subscribed"
[11:50] <Evil_Whisper> now If only i could find a way to make opera look nice
[11:50] <scenestar> portingSAIS: no wonder
[11:50] <apokryphos> Opera is pretty :P
[11:50] <scenestar> subscribe d00d
[11:50] <portingSAIS> that's a very special type of bullshit.
[11:50] <scenestar> i prefer firefox
[11:50] <Gatorade> I'm gonna create a second partion for ubuntu and keep my windows and other files on my first partition is that okay??
[11:50] <portingSAIS> i should not have to set up accounts, subscribe to lists, or otherwise LOG IN just to REPORT A BUG
[11:50] <Evil_Whisper> apokryphos: Got a way to make opera look good?
[11:51] <scenestar> portingSAIS: welcome to linux
[11:51] <scenestar> we are a minorty
[11:51] <portingSAIS> it's not like anything is going to be assigned to me
[11:51] <scenestar> and we cling together
[11:51] <portingSAIS> debian just accepts the bug from reportbug
[11:51] <portingSAIS> does the correct thing
[11:51] <apokryphos> Evil_Whisper: looks good here. What's the problem with yours there?
[11:51] <scenestar> portingSAIS: debian != ubuntu
[11:51] <portingSAIS> ubuntu's reportbug is broken
[11:51] <scenestar> no it isnt
[11:51] <Evil_Whisper> apokryphos: my file edit view etc bar doesn't match the rest of the browser
[11:51] <portingSAIS> it is.
[11:51] <scenestar> it is just encouraging to contribute to the community
[11:51] <scenestar> its lamer friendly
[11:51] <portingSAIS> I shouldn't have to subscribe to a 200 message per day list just to file one bug
[11:52] <scenestar> so lamers have to be forced to contribute
[11:52] <portingSAIS> scenestar: you are mistaken. please stop talking.
[11:52] <apokryphos> Evil_Whisper: too small?
[11:52] <Evil_Whisper> apokryphos: Its a diffrent color
[11:52] <portingSAIS> scenestar: it is rejecting my bugs.  this is not encouraging me to contribute *anythig*
[11:52] <scenestar> just like
[11:52] <scenestar> stfu
[11:52] <scenestar> kthnx
[11:52] <apokryphos> Evil_Whisper: screeny?
[11:52] <Evil_Whisper> apokryphos: Just a second
[11:52] <psusi> is there a way to force unmount a filesystem NOW, as in screw any unwritten data, so not sync, do not pass go, abort, retry fail?
[11:53] <scenestar> no
[11:53] <no0tic> apokryphos, how khotnewstuff works?
[11:53] <portingSAIS> psusi: scenestar is not the brightest bulb on the tree here.  umount has a --force option that is often helpful
[11:53] <portingSAIS> it's -f
[11:53] <psusi> portingSAIS, it seems that only makes the unmount happen even if there are open files... it still syncs
[11:54] <portingSAIS> psusi: yeah, I often kill all processes that have open files first
[11:54] <apokryphos> no0tic: it's a tool that integrates with kdelook.org -- some applications and other things on KDE use it now. i.e. you fire up the Settings, and you have an option to download new styles etc
[11:54] <psusi> portingSAIS, my problem is that the system is currently trying to write a lot of data to my cdrw drive and the writes are failing... so even umount -f tries to finish all the writes before unmounting, so it's just jacking off now since the disk isn't actually writing anyhow
[11:54] <psusi> portingSAIS, no files are open...  but the kernel is still trying to sync the filesystem before unmounting
[11:55] <apokryphos> no0tic: KDE originally used it for backgrounds, but it's being used with more and more things now -- amarok, kopete, and eventually hopefully: icons, styles, windecs etc
[11:55] <psusi> is there no way to tell it not to bother doing that?
[11:55] <Evil_Whisper> apokryphos: I'm just re-installing it now just a moment
[11:55] <yuacht> ok so i have this Avant 5gb mp3-player, any clues on how to sync it with ubuntu?
[11:55] <redvelvet> toya_ you still there?
[11:56] <no0tic> apokryphos, on kde my fn keys (up e down volume) don't work; in gnome they do; what can I do?
[11:56] <scenestar> hmmm
[11:56] <scenestar> is this a laptop?
[11:57] <psusi> umount --I-really-mean-force-it-right-now ;)
[11:57] <apokryphos> no0tic: easy to fix. Just assign a shortcut for them in khotkeys
[11:57] <no0tic> apokryphos, ah, khotkeys crashes
[11:57] <no0tic> apokryphos, :)
[11:57] <labandus> hi
[11:57] <redvelvet> i have just been told, bash: fakeroot: command not found
[11:58] <labandus> i 've got a little problem
[11:58] <apokryphos> no0tic: actually, not from khotkeys -- from kmix. Khotkeys shouldn't be run by itself (i.e. not from alt+f2 or terminal) -- but from systemsettings (or kcontrol).
[11:58] <labandus> can someone help me ???
[11:58] <apokryphos> no0tic: though, you're right, it still shouldn't crash when doing that -- it's a kubuntu packaging bug.
[11:58] <no0tic> apokryphos, ;)
[11:58] <apokryphos> no0tic: still, you get all the functionality from kcontrol/systemsettings.
[11:58] <labandus> i wanna a tool with that i can burn DVD in Ubuntu ???
[11:59] <labandus> can someone help me ???
[11:59] <labandus> please
[11:59] <tenshi> gnome baker
[11:59] <no0tic> apokryphos, via kmix it doesn't work
[11:59] <apokryphos> labandus: k3b
[11:59] <tenshi> what system do you use?
[11:59] <apokryphos> no0tic: it doesn't detect it?
[11:59] <labandus> please apokryphos ??
[11:59] <apokryphos> labandus: the application is called k3b -- it's in the repositories.
[12:00] <tenshi> k3b for kde, gnome baker for gnome
[12:00] <no0tic> apokryphos, if I try to configure global shortcuts, it doesn't do anything when I press Fn key
