[04:41] <wirechief_> !resolution
[04:41] <hotmonkeyluv> !uuid
[04:42] <spork969> plik, i dont have a config file...
[04:42] <adam7> hotmonkeyluv: ls -ahl /dev/disk/by-uuid
[04:42] <hotmonkeyluv> Adam7: thanks
[04:42] <tanath> shimanoid, go to modify account>advanced tab
[04:42] <adam7> hotmonkeyluv: I didn't know about the ubottu factoid :)
[04:42] <tanath> shimanoid, you can change it there
[04:42] <wirechief_> matthew: check also the bots help for resolution
[04:42] <wirechief_> !resolution
[04:42] <plik> spork969: man page will tell you all .. google will help - sorry but it's a while since I set it up / used it and I'm busy in another channel   ;)
[04:42] <RyanPrior> Wine 1.0 release candidate FTW. :-)
[04:42] <shimanoid> tanah: ty
[04:42] <spork969> plik, k thanks for the help
[04:43] <tanath> shimanoid, xchat also supports tab completion for nicks ;)
[04:43] <plik> spork969: welcome, good luck & enjoy
[04:43] <secret901> !tvout
[04:43] <Krimson> adam7: I think I got the [ipod] problem resolved. However, there might be one additional error. The custom command was sudo amarok %s
[04:43] <shimanoid> tanah: yeah I love the channel flags buttons
[04:44] <Ashfire908> Pidgin has been crashing and now it blows up and gives a backtrace.
[04:44] <tanath> shimanoid, heh, did you get what i meant? you typed my nick wrong twice :P
[04:44] <RyanPrior> Ashfire908: Submit a bug please. :-)
[04:44] <shimanoid> hehe sry ^^
[04:45] <shimanoid> tanath
[04:45] <RyanPrior> Krimson: why are you running amarok as root?
[04:45] <bpat1434> Anyone having issues with gdesklets in 8.04?  I keep getting a segfault when I try to launch it
[04:46] <Vertelemming> I'm having an issue where new windows show up beneath the top-most window, instead of on top and focused.
[04:46] <shimanoid> tanath or anyone: do you think pidgin is built with ssl support at all?
[04:46] <Vertelemming> Only been happening since I upgraded to Hardy.
[04:46] <Krimson> ryanprior: I was trying to enable ipod/amarok association. It seems to be the only one that works.
[04:46] <dellph> hello pll.
[04:46] <RyanPrior> Krimson: Perhaps adding yourself to the right group or something would work.
[04:46] <ogt> hey I can get no sound on my gateway
[04:46] <RyanPrior> Krimson: Running an audio app as root is almost certainly a bad idea.
[04:47] <Ashfire908> RyanPrior, i care more about running pidgin at the moment
[04:47] <ogt> anyway I can get that fixed???
[04:47] <dellph> how do i increase the number of gnome session?
[04:47] <tanath> shimanoid, i believe so.. if you tell it to use the ssl port, does it not work?
[04:47] <Krimson> RyanPrior: I do not know. Perhaps you can help? I want amarok to boot when I plug in my iPod, instead of rhythmbox (as of now, uninstalled)
[04:47] <RyanPrior> Ashfire908: well, if you've got a pidgin that is reliably crashing, that's a valuable thing for developers to fix the bug for other people.
[04:47] <shimanoid> tanath: pidgin says "SSL handshake failed", that is with the "Enable SSL" checkbox on
[04:47] <RyanPrior> Ashfire908: You might try setting up a separate installation for communications in the meanwhile.
[04:48] <LyleM> hola
[04:48] <Devis> anyone have virtualbox installed on ubuntu 8.04?
[04:48] <tanath> shimanoid, http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/FAQssl
[04:48] <^Tech-Help^> hey LyleM
[04:48] <adam7> Devis: I do
[04:48] <LyleM> hello
[04:48] <Ashfire908> RyanPrior, except it takes 4 days to get noticed and marked invalid, then forgotten for weeks... then comfirmed, and never fixed.
[04:48] <Devis> fully working?
[04:48] <adam7> Devis: as far as I know
[04:48] <RyanPrior> Hola LyleM. Habla ud. Inglés?
[04:49] <yp3> does anyone know whats a good service like blogspot.com that wouldnt get shut down for having links to torrent files?
[04:49] <Devis> i cant get an internet connection on guest windows xp
[04:49] <StevenTyler> anyone else installed Ubuntu on Dell Dimension e521?
[04:49] <Vertelemming> Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
[04:49] <yp3> im trying to create a directory of audiobook torrents so ppl can educate themselves, but i dont want to get shut down as some of them are illegal
[04:49] <RyanPrior> Vertelemming: Repeat your question, please?
[04:49] <StevenTyler> Got some problemo with display drivers, they were not installed by default.
[04:50] <dellph> how do i increase the number of gnome session?
[04:50] <Krimson> How do I use %s? Like Amarok %s? Or %s Amarok? Or no spaces? or /'s between them?
[04:50] <gooody> hi, i just want to know if it's ok to upgrade my system from ubuntu 7.1 to ubuntu 8.04 using the upgrade button found in update manager?
[04:50] <MeRodent> how do I report a bug with grub?
[04:50] <RyanPrior> yp3: I suggest getting permission or license to distribute the audiobooks, then. Distributing educational material is a great idea, perhaps you could make it work on an advertising model?
[04:50] <Vertelemming> RyanPrior: When new windows get created, by any means, they invariably appear just below the top-most window, instead of on the top. Focus doesn't change, and it's only been happening since the Hardy upgrade.
[04:51] <RyanPrior> Vertelemming: That's strange.
[04:51] <adam7> Devis: I have a working network connection in a linux vm
[04:51] <Vertelemming> Very.
[04:51] <Devis> what did you do to install it? Is there a tutorial you followed?
[04:52] <adam7> Devis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770745
[04:52] <adam7> Devis: I can't ping anything though, so don't judge whether you can connect based on that
[04:53] <Devis> i tired that one but no connection
[04:53] <Devis> it made me go back to vista... :(
[04:53] <johntramp1>  why am i getting redirected to bloglines whenever i click on an rss feed in firefox?????
[04:54] <Y-Town> Devis: tried vmware?
[04:54] <Devis> no i heard it was no good
[04:54] <RyanPrior> Devis: What virtualizer were you trying to use again?
[04:54] <Devis> the Sun virtualbox 1.6
[04:54] <Y-Town> Devis: dont know why you would here that...
[04:55] <RyanPrior> Devis: I have a Windows XP guest on Hardy with the latest kernel and networking works just fine.
[04:55] <Y-Town> Devis: vmware rocks over vbox
[04:55] <kindofabuzz> Y-Town: see i've heard just the oppisite
[04:55] <RyanPrior> Devis: I'm using version 1.5 though.
[04:55] <kindofabuzz> it's all personal preferance
[04:55] <tanath> can someone help me get pulseaudio working?
[04:55] <tanath> when i try to use it, i get no sound
[04:56] <Devis> the problem all happened when i updated to 1.6
[04:56] <RyanPrior> Devis: VMware is great, but it's not free software.
[04:56] <Y-Town> kindofabuzz: I have not had any problems... the install kinda sucked but that was resolved
[04:56] <Matt0810> anyone on who can assist me setting up oracle on ubuntu?
[04:56] <wirechief_> tanath check out #alsa they can help you (when there are someone there)
[04:56] <Devis> i had everything working on 1.5
[04:56] <tanath> wirechief_, alsa works fine
[04:56] <Devis> but even now when i go back to 1.5 i get no connection
[04:56] <RyanPrior> !anyone | Matt0810
[04:57] <wirechief_> !sound
[04:57] <Devis> i just want to use the windows live messenger
[04:57] <RyanPrior> Devis: Why not just use Pidgin or aMSN?
[04:57] <Devis> i need video chat
[04:57] <RyanPrior> Devis: aMSN has video chat.
[04:58] <Devis> can you chat with hotmail people
[04:58] <tanath> wirechief_, um, hardy defaults to pulseaudio. i suspect that hasn't been updated :P
[04:58] <kindofabuzz> yeah
[04:58] <Y-Town> thats wehat I was thinking
[04:58] <Y-Town> what
[04:58] <tanath> wirechief_, alsa does work, but i'd like to switch to PA
[04:58] <RyanPrior> Devis: I'm not positive about Hotmail people, but if they're on the MSN protocol (Windows Live Messenger, MSN, etc) then it should work.
[04:59] <drivetrax> preferred sources/software
[04:59] <Devis> yeah but can i connect my logictech webcam to it?
[04:59] <xim> is there a config file where I can take out the screensavers i dont like so the random will only go throught he wonds i like
[04:59] <RyanPrior> Devis: You'll have to try and see, I think.
[04:59] <paulcross> Is SWF an open source format now?
[05:00] <Devis> i hate Toshiba and how it forces me to use vista.
[05:00] <pist0l-fish> hi there. does ubuntu have a network install feature?
[05:00] <RyanPrior> Devis: I know that some people have had luck with webcams and video chat and that the program has that capability, whether it will work with your specific hardware is another question.
[05:00] <i-hope-this-name> well... it /kinda/ worked, i can at aleast log in now, but the text is so small it's unreadable
[05:00] <i-hope-this-name> thanks, all
[05:00] <Y-Town> Devis: I have ubuntu on a toshiba laptop
[05:00] <Devis> waht model?
[05:00] <Devis> what model
[05:00] <Y-Town> lemme look
[05:00] <Flannel> pist0l-fish: yeah, a good deal of details are  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation

[05:01] <Bagualas> how do I give privileges to an user be able to share a folder? can't find in policy kit
[05:01] <Y-Town> Devis: this is a satelite
[05:02] <Devis> i had alot of problems with driver on 7.10 but 8.4 has everything running fine except no headphones. :(
[05:02] <spork969> plik, i love abcde, but im stuck. i ran it. it worked fine. now its asking me to choose which cddb i want to use. i know which one, but how do i choose?
[05:02] <lgc> How can I configure my eth1 interface?
[05:03] <Devis> could my wireless router be the one messing up my virtualbox?
[05:03] <Vlet> lgc: /etc/network/interfaces
[05:03] <Vlet> lgc: or use the network admin control panel
[05:04] <Devis> i have no experience on how the ip system works on ubuntu
[05:04] <dellph> RyanPrior, in ubuntu desktop i login in 4 user in gnome then i want to login another user and error occured "User Switcher Error" There are currently too many session running to create a new one... etc." the configured limit of flexible servers has been reached. how do i resolve that?
[05:04] <lgc> Vlet, what am I supposed to do with the interfaces file?
[05:04] <mohamed_> is there application that translate online when point to a word i get its translation , also if there is application that translate sentences ??
[05:05] <Vlet> lgc: perhaps you should use the network admin control panel, or google on using the config file
[05:05] <Devis> mohamed: google has one: http://www.google.com/translate_t
[05:06] <Ademan> can anyone tell me why i have gstreamer0.10-esd installed? i upgraded from gutsy, but i've never used esd in my life
[05:06] <RequinB5> i need help installing starcraft
[05:06] <Vlet> mohamed_: https://addons.mozilla.org/
[05:06] <Ademan> RequinB5: #winehq
[05:06] <Devis> should i have reset my router settings when switching to ubuntu?
[05:06] <bpat1434> Is there a special way to use adesklets?  I select a desklet to download, and it seems like it freezes when it tries to download
[05:06] <RyanPrior> dellph: Hmm, interesting. I don't know, but I would look in gconf (or keep asking in here. :-)
[05:06] <Vlet> Devis: no
[05:06] <mohamed_> thx Devis: Vlet
[05:07] <Devis> i had vista on a static ip
[05:07] <matthew> can i still get xmms or is it only xmms2? streamtuner wont let me listen to radio
[05:07] <Ademan> bpat1434: if you have compiz i sincerely recommend using screenlets
[05:07] <RyanPrior> Devis, I'm on a static IP and it works fine with Ubuntu.
[05:07] <Devis> im experiencing slow loading on firefox
[05:07] <matthew> and how do i enable compiz , any help is appreciated :-)
[05:07] <bpat1434> Ademan: I have "extra" screen effects... is that compiz?
[05:07] <dellph> RyanPrior, ok thanks! :
[05:07] <RyanPrior> Matthew: You can, but I don't suggest it. xmms is pretty outdated.
[05:07] <Ademan> bpat1434: yep
[05:08] <Vlet> mohamed_: unfortunately, ubuntu hardy ships with firefox 3 beta, and all those addons are for ff v2
[05:08] <bpat1434> Ademan: where can I configure screenlets and get more?
[05:08] <matthew> what else can i get to work with streamtuner to listen to radio?
[05:08] <CaptainMorgan> how can I make a custom shortcut for an application like the Calculator?
[05:08] <RyanPrior> matthew: Amarok, Banshee, Rhythmbox, Audacious, Quod Libet, and others are much more modern and can all play internet radio.
[05:08] <redwhitewaldo> I want to move my personal files (in my home dir) from one user account to another (same computer). What must I do?
[05:08] <lgc> Vlet, the network tools app won't let me configure eth1.
[05:08] <mohamed_> Vlet: i already install them on FF beta
[05:08] <Matt0810> if I run something like "$OPATH/bin/lsnrctl start"  - If i go to Opath/bin manually and type ./lsnrctrl start - is it the same thing?
[05:08] <Ademan> bpat1434: well first of all be sure to have the compizconfig-settings-manager package installed
[05:09] <mohamed_> Vlet: there is a trik for this only i was asking if there is something as ubuntu application
[05:09] <Vlet> redwhitewaldo: sudo cp -Ruv /home/yourusername/* /home/theotherusername/
[05:09] <redwhitewaldo> what's Ruv, viet
[05:09] <Vlet> mohamed_: maybe, check synaptic
[05:09] <bpat1434> Ademan: installed
[05:10] <Vlet> redwhitewaldo: Recurse directories, Update (incase you cancel mid-way through), Verbose (shows status of the copy)
[05:10] <Torahtee1> Hi. I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 in the QEMU emulator. After FINALLY getting an .iso download that doesn't have a defect (3 times!), I tried installing. After the splash screen, it goes into text mode and after a couple of minutes I see some error along the lines of "GTKWarning, Could not open display. I then get dumped into a bash prompt "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$". Can I install from that prompt? If not, how might I fix that GTK error?
[05:10] <lgc> Vlet, actually, when I try to configure the interface it says it doesn't exist.
[05:10] <Ademan> bpat1434: alright under system->preferences you should have "advanced desktop effects settings"
[05:10] <Devis> is there anyway to check that my router settings are correct?
[05:10] <Vlet> Torahtee1: sounds like a question for the qemu people
[05:11] <Smegzor> I'm trying to remote desktop into a newly installed box and I've done the basics but I get connection refused.  What else do I need to do aside from allow remote desktop connections?  I can ping the box fine.
[05:11] <bpat1434> Ademan: uh huh
[05:11] <Torahtee1> vlet, is it really a QEMU problem specifically?
[05:11] <LadyNikon> !tomcat
[05:11] <Vlet> lgc: well, do you have two network cards?
[05:11] <LadyNikon> wow
[05:12] <lgc> Vlet only one, but it takes care of wireless and wired connections.
[05:12] <olrrai> hi
[05:12] <bazhang> !hi
[05:12] <Vlet> Torahtee1: well, considering I've never heard of such a problem when installing ubuntu on an actual computer or in other virtualization programs, yes
[05:12] <Ademan> bpat1434: first of all you can configure how your desktop effects work there, but more importantly, under "desktop" there's the widget layer, you should enable it
[05:12] <Torahtee1> vlet ok then
[05:12] <bpat1434> Ademan: enabled...
[05:13] <Vlet> lgc: well, eth0 is probably the wired, the wireless is probably something else
[05:13] <Ademan> bpat1434: alright, gimme a sec
[05:13] <bpat1434> Ademan: okay
[05:13] <avian> Networking issues?
[05:13] <lgc> Vlet, of course. Eth1 is the wireless interface. That's standard, as far as I know.
[05:13] <Vlet> lgc: never actually used ubuntu on a system with wireless
[05:13] <Smegzor> Do I need to install openssh to get remote desktop working?
[05:14] <avian> You could use VNC.
[05:14] <xim> is there a config file or way to take out the screensavers i dont like so the 'random' option will only go through good ones?
[05:14] <lgc> Vlet, OK, thanks. Let me check the help.
[05:14] <lgc> !wireless
[05:14] <olrrai> I installed gnome-art with no error, but when run:
[05:14] <olrrai> http://rafb.net/p/SmQt3224.html
[05:14] <Vlet> lgc: eth0. some linux systems may start at 1, but ubuntu starts at 0
[05:14] <Torahtee1> !qemu
[05:14] <Smegzor> Doesn't Ubuntu come with vnc installed?
[05:14] <i-hope-this-name> so, uh, how do i get synaptic to make me a list of everything currently installed?
[05:15] <Vlet> Smegzor: no
[05:15] <Vlet> Smegzor: sorry, I was thinking vLc :)
[05:15] <avian> just sudo apt-get install vnc-server
[05:15] <bazhang> olrrai, you trying to install a theme or what
[05:15] <mohamed_> Vlet: here is how to use addons for firfox2 inside firefox3 to disable check compatibility http://dotnetwizard.net/?p=757
[05:15] <lgc> Vlet, k.
[05:15] <bpat1434> If I want 4 virtual desktops, how can I get that so I can use the compiz cube?
[05:15] <i-hope-this-name> and what's the CLI command for the restricted drivers manager?
[05:15] <Smegzor> hmm..  so the remote desktop stuff in preferences does nothing without extra setup?
[05:15] <Vlet> mohamed_: thanks =D
[05:15] <Torahtee1> Anyone ever heard of ubuntu "install" going to a bash prompt? Can I install from bash? (some kind of install ubuntu command? lol)
[05:15] <alec_> i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to download and run windows apps through wine.
[05:15] <bazhang> !cube | bpat1434
[05:15] <LaneLimited> bpat1434: install compiz and compiz fusion settings manager
[05:16] <olrrai> bazhang: I need to configure themes (I use ubuntu 7.10 amd64)
[05:16] <avian> the remote desktop is VNC.
[05:16] <bpat1434> LaneLimited: I have them... just missing where I can define how many desktops tehre are
[05:16] <Vlet> alec_: there's plenty of info on the web. IRC isn't a good place for tutorials; better for questions.
[05:16] <twistage> Anyone know a fix for the low volume problems with Intel HD audio in Hardy? It seems like sometimes it will be loud, and other times I have to turn it dang near all the way up to get sufficient volume. (Yes, my volume is up on the Alsa Mixer)
[05:16] <alec_> ok thanks
[05:16] <LaneLimited> bpat1434: right click on panel and add the last one i think it is... thats the only way i know to configure them.. then right click on it on the panel and configure how many you want.. colums and rows
[05:16] <bazhang> olrrai, download them to a  folder and install them that way
[05:17] <chronographer> Hi all. I got a problem, fsck runs every time I boot and startup drops to command line where it starts a root shell cause fsck broke or something. Howe can I stop it from happening every time?
[05:17] <plik> spork969: sorry, was away for a while - doesn't really matter, but gracenote are corporate scum, so go for freedb or whatever it is  :)
[05:17]  * emma returns to helping good people
[05:17] <matthew> how can i enable compiz so i can get my cube and wobble windows ect?
[05:17] <dellph> how do i increase the number of gnome session?
[05:17] <chronographer> install the package 'advanced desktop effects"
[05:17] <bazhang> install ccsm Matthew
[05:17] <olrrai> bazhang: I did that, but I also need to change any menu and control colors
[05:17] <bpat1434> LaneLimited: Yeah, I've got the 4-way split, but compiz only flips on two desktops... not 4
[05:17] <i-hope-this-nam1> adam7: what was that command to get synaptic to list everything installed?
[05:18] <bazhang> olrrai, does the theme allow that?
[05:18] <i-hope-this-nam1> also, how do i start the restricted drivers manager from CLI?
[05:18] <olrrai> bazhang: nope
[05:18] <avian> i-hope-this: restricted-manager, i think
[05:18] <bazhang> bpat1434, quick tut for that in #compiz-fusion
[05:18] <i-hope-this-nam1> avian: lemmie try
[05:18] <bpat1434> bazhang: thansk
[05:18] <Sergeant_Pony> bazhang: wicd worked out perfectly even on my home network. thanks
[05:18] <Smegzor> hmm..  well the remote desktop is non-functional even after following ubuntu guides :(
[05:19] <LaneLimited> bpat1434: sorry man.... i don't know other then that.. set the desktop cube and cube rotation... I am very noob myself.. I just got ubuntu a few days ago , sorry
[05:19] <bazhang> Sergeant_Pony, nice going ;]
[05:19] <avian> i-hope-this-nam1: you need to run it as root.
[05:19] <Vlet> i-hope-this-nam1: open the 'main menu' control panel, and find the launcher and right click and go to properties to see the command
[05:19]  * Sergeant_Pony another very happy customer :)
[05:19] <Smegzor> its the one feature I can never get working without a fight
[05:19] <bazhang> olrrai, you want a total revamp type theme?
[05:19] <bpat1434> LaneLimited: it's oka.y
[05:19] <Vlet> Smegzor: are you behind a router?
[05:20] <LaneLimited> bpat1434: does the cube spin around???
[05:20] <Smegzor> the box is on my lan.  there is a router but both pc's are on the same lan
[05:20] <matthew> there was a different code i used before to enable ccsm i typed it in terminal....i forget
[05:20] <i-hope-this-nam1> Vlet: i'm using XFCE
[05:20] <WiglyWorm> hey I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a RAIDed drive, seperate from my Windows partition (I have an open unformatted partition waiting for it). Is there something special I have to do?
[05:20] <bpat1434> LaneLimited: It spins.... but it's only a flip because it's a 2-sided cube, not a 4
[05:21] <i-hope-this-nam1> Vlet: and it wont start from CLI, either, something about pynotify not existing
[05:21] <bazhang> alt f2 compiz --replace matthew
[05:21] <i-hope-this-nam1> damn, this install is brooooken
[05:21] <olrrai> bazhang: no total, only a few things
[05:21] <avian> Try reinstalling python.
[05:21] <Ademan> bpat1434: gimme just another moment
[05:21] <bpat1434> Ademan: okay
[05:21] <LaneLimited> bpat1434: I see... i know about that... You gotta set it to ... set that desktop workspaces to just 4 then 1  4 at top 1 at bottom.....  that worked for me
[05:21] <bazhang> olrrai, if you want total there are some fun options
[05:21] <usser> Smegzor, what do you use to connect to your desktop?
[05:22] <usser> Smegzor, what program that is?
[05:22] <olrrai> bazhang: for example?
[05:22] <Doobe08> ping
[05:22] <os2mac_> pong
[05:22] <Doobe08> hey Krimson
[05:22] <Doobe08> Krimson: ping
[05:22] <bazhang> awn screenlets fusion-icon awn-curves gdesklets conky and on and on--only your imagination is the limit ;]
[05:23] <Smegzor> I'm using krdc since I get nowhere with terminal server client.  I'm now able to at least talk to the box using rdp.  vnc is still no server found.
[05:23] <olrrai> bazhang: thanks
[05:24] <usser> Smegzor, do you use server name when connecting did u try connecting by ip
[05:24] <Smegzor> by ip always
[05:24] <Ademan> bpat1434: all you need to do is install the screenlets package, and then run it from system->preferences->screenlets
[05:24] <Ademan> bpat1434: it even has a little button for getting more screenlets, and there are some available on gnome-look.org as well
[05:24] <usser> Smegzor, right and what does vncviewer actually say?
[05:25] <Smegzor> connection refused
[05:25] <doop1> hello
[05:25] <bazhang> !hi | doopy
[05:26] <arooni> s
[05:26] <usser> Smegzor, hm very strange, no firestarter or any firewall running?
[05:26] <bpat1434> Ademan: okay, thanks
[05:26] <Smegzor> nope
[05:26] <WiglyWorm> So, yes: anything special that needs done to install on a RAID 0 array?
[05:26] <Smegzor> ubuntu at both ends with none of that crap
[05:26] <WiglyWorm> Ubuntu's installer sees my hard disks as seperate entities.
[05:27] <bazhang> Ademan, does compiz have to be running for screenlets to work or only installed; or could I just turn compiz on basic and use them with that
[05:27] <usser> Smegzor, hm verify that u have vnc server installed sudo apt-get install vino
[05:27] <Vlet> WiglyWorm: nope - ubuntu should just see one drive
[05:27] <Vlet> WiglyWorm: oh, so it's not hardware raid
[05:27] <bazhang> WiglyWorm, those are partitions
[05:27] <Vlet> !raid | WiglyWorm
[05:28] <Vlet> WiglyWorm: you want fakeraid
[05:28] <WiglyWorm> No, it's seeing the drives, not the partitions.
[05:28] <bazhang> WiglyWorm, or do you have raid
[05:28] <Ademan> bazhang: you can have desktop effects on basic, but not off,   basic and advanced are both still compiz, when it's off, metacity is used instead of compiz
[05:28] <ludwig> anyone here use scratchbox?  I'm trying to see what ubuntu package I need to install to get qemu with it
[05:28] <Vertelemming> Ah! I think I've found my bug in Launchpad.
[05:28] <bazhang> Ademan, thanks ;]
[05:28] <DylanSmith> I have an odd problem where my keyboard stops working suddenly in an KDE X session, but I can still Ctrl-Alt-F1 into the terminal and use the keyboard there.  I am also able to start a new X session and use my keyboard there.  Any suggestions?
[05:28] <Vlet> WiglyWorm: if it were hardware raid, ubuntu would see just one
[05:29] <twistage> Does Hardy have pulse audio?
[05:29] <jose> papi_xxx
[05:29] <Smegzor> I found the problem and I'm connected remotely now.  there was an undocumented tick box.. brb
[05:29] <bazhang> twistage, aye
[05:29] <WiglyWorm> I was under the impression my 780i motherboard was hardware RAID...
[05:29] <Ademan> bazhang: no problem :-)
[05:29] <bazhang> ;]
[05:29] <WiglyWorm> Would the youth of the chipset play in to it at all?
[05:30] <glavanwa1> hello?
[05:30] <twistage> bazhang: How do I play with the settings?
[05:30] <bazhang> in sound prefs twistage
[05:30] <Vlet> WiglyWorm: if it were true raid, then ubuntu wouldn't be able to tell whether it was raid or not - the OS should just see a drive, and the raid controller does all the magic behind the scenes
[05:30] <glavanwa1> Why aren't my / commands working?
[05:30] <bazhang> !hi | glavanwa1
[05:30] <glavanwa1> Hello
[05:31] <eisenhower> Does anyone use Eclipse CDT here in ubuntu?
[05:31] <WiglyWorm> OK. Sounds good. Thank you Vlet.
[05:31] <Vertelemming> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/197288 Anyone happen to know if there's any discussion about this bug going on?
[05:31] <vocx> He, I'm not exactly a noob. My tty1-6 terminals don't appear when I try to switch to them with Ctrl-Alt+1. Anybody has experienced this before? Got an easy fix?
[05:31] <Smegzor> in the login window/ general tab I had to untick 'disable multiple logins for a single user'  this was never mentioned in the howto's
[05:31] <glavanwa1> Does anyone know why the / commands aren't working?
[05:31] <Starnestommy> glavanwa1: what / commands?
[05:31] <matthew> nothing i enable in CompizConfig Settings Manager is working..
[05:31] <glavanwa1> like /whois
[05:31] <Vlet> WiglyWorm: I'm just talking from experience - I have a mobo with the same behavior as yours, and a dell server with hardware raid
[05:31] <Starnestommy> vocx: what about ctrl+alt+F1 ?
[05:31] <bazhang> glavanwa1, please clarify
[05:31] <glavanwa1> or /hilight
[05:32] <usser> \whois
[05:32] <usser> oops
[05:32] <glavanwa1> \whois
[05:32] <Starnestommy> glavanwa1: check what's in the first window
[05:32] <vocx> eisenhower, you can try #ubuntu-programming  but from I read it phails a lot. And you shouldn't be using IDEs anyway.
[05:32] <Vlet> glavanwa1: maybe your client?
[05:32] <glavanwa1> Starnestommy: what's the first window?
[05:32] <Ashfire> I have an issue where the login screen is being drawn at a different rez as the monitor is displaying it.
[05:32] <vocx> Starnestommy, that's what I meant. I gives me a black screen, no login prompt.
[05:32] <Amaranth> Smegzor: Why are you logging in with the same user more than once?
[05:32] <Starnestommy> glavanwa1: hit alt+1 and see if anything appears
[05:32] <matthew> what was the code for ccms?  something  --ccms ?
[05:32] <jtaylor13> group:i have ubuntu 8.04 i had a network monitor that had the icon that showed my internet as it connected wirelessly.I stumiply removed the bar up top and then had to start over.it is not there.how can i find it
[05:32] <Starnestommy> vocx: what happens when you press enter?
[05:33] <matthew> forgive me im a newb
[05:33] <Smegzor> I'm logged in locally on the pc and I'm logging in remotely on my main pc
[05:33] <eisenhower> vocx: what you recommend then?   i'm trying justmake some code in ubuntu  =(
[05:33] <glavanwa1> Oh wow I had no idea that was there.
[05:33] <Amaranth> matthew: you mean ccsm?
[05:33] <Smegzor> I'm not creating multiple users just for that
[05:33] <glavanwa1> Starnestommy: why am I in a different window?
[05:33] <usser> jtaylor13, you mean nm-applet?
[05:33] <bazhang> jtaylor13, the notification area? right click panel and add, or perhpas you mean nm-applet
[05:33] <matthew> yes ccsm ...sorry
[05:33] <Smegzor> besides, there is NO heating where the pc is and its COLD in there :)
[05:33] <vocx> eisenhower, use a text editor, and compile from the command line, it will teach you how things work. Read the stickies in the programming Talk forum in ubuntuforums.org
[05:33] <Amaranth> Smegzor: Running a GUI environment more than once with the same user could cause problems
[05:34] <eisenhower> aite * tries
[05:34]  * Derander does it all the time.
[05:34] <Amaranth> Smegzor: Thus the option being checked by default
[05:34] <Derander> (running a gui environment that is)
[05:34] <matthew> How do I enable it so the effects work?
[05:34] <glavanwa1> Starnestommy: why is there two windows?  I have never seen two windows before.
[05:34] <Ashfire> The login will be drawn at 1280 x 1024, while the video/monitor is 1024 x 768, and the rest of the screen is clipped.
[05:34] <vocx> Starnestommy, nothing, it just shows the black screen, all of them 1-6, I use Alt+F7 and return to the graphical session.
[05:34] <Amaranth> matthew: It's too busy in here to just talk, you need to put my name in the line so I can pick it out
[05:34] <Derander> matthew: do you have a graphics card/ graphics card driver on?
[05:34] <Smegzor> Well I'd prefer to get XDMC working, but I'm not sure what to do.  I think that requires openssh installed?
[05:34] <twistage> bazhang: Sorry to be so inept, but does it allow per application volume-control.. etc? Because I'm under sound preferences and it looks the exact same as it did in Gutsy. I don't see any added features? Maybe I'm in the wrong place? System>Pref>Sound?
[05:35] <Starnestommy> glavanwa1: there's one main window plus one window for each channel or query you have open
[05:35] <matthew> I'm checking things off in the manager but nothing is coming to life..Yes i have a graphics card
[05:35] <Derander> vocx: that is a problem with VGA.  I can't remember the exact fix, however.  I had the exact same problem
[05:35] <Amaranth> Smegzor: Remote GUI logins as the same user are bad too :P
[05:35] <Derander> matthew: run "compiz --replace"
[05:35] <bazhang> twistage, let me look hang on a sec
[05:35] <ludwig> sudo apt-cache search scratchbox | more, and the package is called scratchbox-devkit-cputransp.  answered my own question but incase you all were curious
[05:35] <Smegzor> um..  also I'm remoting via VNC so I'm only logged in once actually.
[05:35] <matthew> Derander: in terminal?
[05:36] <Derander> matthew: that or alt+f2
[05:36] <jtaylor13> bazhang: it was the factory installed 2 little balls that had a circle line spin and the balls lite up green when coonected.
[05:36] <vocx> Derander, yeah, probably something broke from one update to the other, but since I rarely switch to these terminals I hadn't noticed. And I just upgraded to Gutsy, I mean.
[05:36] <bazhang> jtaylor13, yup that is nm-applet
[05:36] <matthew> Derander: Checking for Xgl: not present.
[05:36] <matthew> No whitelisted driver found
[05:36] <matthew> aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
[05:36] <Derander> vocx: Mine broke spontaneously while using Gutsy :-)
[05:36] <jtaylor13> bazhang: how do i find and replace it
[05:37] <Mannequin> is there any way to trigger a warn if I'm trying to shutdown my computer and there are some apps running on one of the workspace?
[05:37] <Derander> vocx: It has something to do with blacklisting thingamajigies, and one thing you have do to is add something like "vga 773" in your /boot/grub/menu.lst file.  I'd google "gutsy virtual terminal problems vga"
[05:38] <matthew> Derander: That didn't work...
[05:38] <bazhang> jtaylor13, roght click and add to panel and scroll down the list to see could be called network monitor in hardy now afaik
[05:38] <lyzium> which package has the "critical temperature reached (105C) when i boot 8.04? im suspecting a wrong reading in one of the thermostats in a laptop
[05:38] <Derander> matthew: (top panel) system -> preferences -> appearance -> visual effects -> turn something on
[05:39] <vocx> Derander, ah yes, I had set up actually the vga modes before and they worked fine. I haven't changed them since, ever... Edgy I think. I use vga=792 which is okay for a 17 inch LCD.
[05:39] <chetnick> keep getting this errors in kern.log floppy0 disk absent or changed during operation, Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[05:39] <alteregg> high
[05:39] <matthew> Derander: ty, restart required it says, brb..
[05:39] <Derander> vocx: Mmm.  Yeah, it's odd that they're breaking on people - not sure what does it, but it happened after a few packages I installed
[05:39] <chetnick> keep getting this errors in kern.log "floppy0 disk absent or changed during operation, Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0"
[05:40] <chetnick> this looks better :)
[05:40] <wolfjb> how do I turn off desktop switching when I scroll with the mouse wheel?
[05:40] <Bagualas> how do I give privileges to an user be able to share a folder? can't find in policy kit
[05:40] <twistage> bazhang: Any luck?
[05:41] <bazhang> twistage, did that not do it?
[05:41] <bazhang> twistage, right click and add to panel
[05:41] <jtaylor13> bazhang: i put the network monitor on but it isn't the same as the factory one.after i get connected it would show the blue bar graph for the connection.
[05:41] <vocx> Derander, guess I just remove 'buntu then... ha ha, you see what I did there?  Surely the reconfiguration of xserver would solve it. Do you remember anything else?
[05:41] <Stepa1> I have another drive in my computer (NTFS) and i wanted to know is it really better as windows says?  What are advantages / disadvantages?  I put all the files on that drive when I used windows, but now I am 100% linux and think i should reformat.  Is it worth the time?
[05:42] <berkelep> How do I create an ssh user without requiring key-based authentication?
[05:42] <bazhang> jtaylor13, let me give you a command to reset to factory defualt
[05:42] <jtaylor13> ok thanks
[05:42] <bazhang> !resetpanels | jtaylor13
[05:43] <wolfjb> berkelep: ssh authentication is driven by /etc/ssh/sshd_config, turn on password authentication and create a user. then when the user connects via ssh without a key, a password is requested.
[05:43] <twistage> bazhang: I'm confused, did you say something before hand? What am I adding to panel? I have a volume control already. I thought Pulse-audio allowed for per application volume control, etc? Or did I misunderstand?
[05:44] <berkelep> wolfjb: thanks.
[05:44] <wolfjb> berkelep: np
[05:44] <wolfjb> how do I turn off desktop switching when I scroll with the mouse wheel?
[05:44] <jtaylor13> bazhang: DAM your good.I love linux.I am very good on vista.but it is a pain.hey here is my idea for a new start up sound for windows vista.start up and it should  play a audio file of a guy screaming TECH SUPPORT.hahahah
[05:44] <bazhang> twistage, oops wrong nick sorry
[05:44] <twistage> Oh, thats alright
[05:45] <berkelep> wolfjb: i receive the message 'Permission denied (publickey).'
[05:45] <vocx> wolfjb, don't place the pointer in the desktop switcher?
[05:45] <h4mx0r> how can I scp files that have paranthesis in name?
[05:45] <bazhang> twistage, for a lot of stuff the prefs work; but for individual apps it might be a bug that overrides the setting
[05:46] <eisenhower> vocx: alright! that helped. its alot easier to complile through g++ ! now one question for you. how would i run the program? b/c i'm in the direcotry and i type in for example /desktop/program  and i keep getting program can't be found
[05:46] <Starnestommy> h4mx0r: put a \ before each ( or )
[05:46] <wolfjb> vocx: if the mouse pointer is over the desktop and I scroll with the mouse it switches desktop, very annoying - I'd love to turn it off
[05:46] <Derander> vocx: if you put your pointer over the root window and scroll, it'll switch desktops
[05:46] <h4mx0r> Starnestommy: that is what I thought but its not working
[05:46] <lyzium> is there any way to bypass temperature readings when ubuntu boots, i get this error "Critical temperature reached (105C) Shutting Down"
[05:46] <bazhang> jtaylor13, that worked? nice going ;]
[05:46] <Starnestommy> h4mx0r: or put a " at the beginning and the end of the file names
[05:46] <twistage> bazhang: Pulse audio is new to Hardy though, correct? Shouldn't there be some new settings under my Sound Preferences? Because it looks the same as it did in Gutsy.
[05:47] <vocx> eisenhower, this ./program  the dot means current directory. This is covered in the FAQ isn't it?
[05:47] <MikeCulver> lyzium: First of all, are you certain this temperature reading is false?
[05:47] <jtaylor13> Group:how can i get chat software or any other program to start at system start up and sign in.
[05:47] <Derander> wolfjb: ccsm -> viewport switcher -> actions -> desktop-based viewport switching -> move next & move prev
[05:47] <eisenhower> what faQ s ?
[05:47] <eisenhower> link if possible? and no it wasn't
[05:47] <bazhang> twistage, I set the top to alsa and left the rest alone--you can try to set them on various levels --some bugs to work out as this is still pretty new
[05:47] <jtaylor13> bazhang:Ol yes.and easy.
[05:47] <wolfjb> Derander: ccsm?
[05:47] <bazhang> twistage, you should see the launchpad page ;]
[05:48] <Derander> wolfjb: run ccsm in a terminal or alt+f2, it stands for "compizconfig-settings-manager"
[05:48] <twistage> Haha, alright. I'll take a look
[05:48] <bazhang> twistage, err pages I mean ;]
[05:48] <wolfjb> Derander: ah, thanks
[05:48] <Derander> wolfjb: if you don't have it installed, apt-get it
[05:48] <vocx> eisenhower, you can use full qualified names but /desktop/program is NOT, because you are saying that the program is in the root /  which is not. It is in /home/user/desktop/program
[05:48] <wolfjb> k
[05:48] <h4mx0r> Starnestommy: the file ends with (complete) and error is "bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('"
[05:48] <vocx> eisenhower, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=606009
[05:48] <lyzium> MikeCulver, no but im fairly certain. i can say for sure that i would be burnt if i touched the cooling head at 105 degrees celcius but it isnt burningly hot
[05:48] <wolfjb> berkelep: what is the value of PasswordAuthentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[05:48] <usser> lyzium, when computer boots keep pressing esc, on the first line in the menu that appeared press 'e', on the third line press 'e' again and add acpi=off to the end press enter and press 'b'
[05:49] <MikeCulver> lyzium: is this a desktop or laptop system?
[05:49] <berkelep> wolfjb: PasswordAuthentication yes
[05:49] <h4mx0r> nvm I fixed it needed a \ and some ""
[05:49] <wolfjb> is it uncommented?
[05:49] <lyzium> usser, thank you i'll give that one a whirl.
[05:49] <Derander> Yay! Flash works
[05:49] <lyzium> MikeCulver,  it is a laptop
[05:50] <usser> lyzium, just make sure its not that hot
[05:50] <twistage> Anyone experimented with DRI2 on Intel chips?
[05:50] <wolfjb> berkelep: did you restart ssh (sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart) after changing it?
[05:50] <MikeCulver> lyzium: Ahh.. then I doubt it has health status in the bios..
[05:50] <vocx> wolfjb, about your issue, I don't know. Maybe because you have desktop effects or something?
[05:50] <usser> lyzium, if its a laptop the fix i gave u may not be such a good idea
[05:50] <berkelep> wolfjb: hmm.. forgot that part.
[05:50] <berkelep> wolfjb: thanks
[05:50] <MikeCulver> lyzium: Still, in any case, I would advise caution.  Take some sort of thermal reading before simply overriding ACPI
[05:50] <lyzium> MikeCulver, that is correct, yet it is an intel cpu which should be able to clock itself down when it reaches these temps
[05:50] <wolfjb> vocx: I do have desktop effects turned on, I like the wobly windows.
[05:51] <wolfjb> berkelep: np, good luck
[05:51] <vbman11> Does anyone know how to import an itunes library xml file to banshee?
[05:51] <lyzium> MikeCulver,  usser, i understand
[05:51] <vbman11> banshee 1 that is
[05:51] <MikeCulver> lyzium: this is true.  But it's not just the CPU you need to be concerned about.  mainboard substrate quality varies, but I would not tend to say it's better than CPU material quality.  You could delaminate your board over time running an overheating CPU.
[05:51] <Derander> vbman11: you can't just import files?
[05:52] <MikeCulver> lyzium: good luck then :)
[05:52] <Derander> vbman11: don't know if what you're asking is possible
[05:52] <vocx> wolfjb, well you should probably mention that. Well I don't know. I don't use it. It's probably possible.
[05:52] <Derander> vbman11: easily, anyways
[05:52] <Derander> vbman11: I'm sure you could hack something with awk&sed&bash scripting
[05:52] <lyzium> MikeCulver, usser, thanks for your assistance :)
[05:52] <vbman11> Derander: there is a plugin for banshee .13.0 but I cant get it any more.
[05:52] <vocx> wolfjb, I just scrolled and realized they suggested you the compiz manager or something.
[05:52] <berkelep> wolfjb: works! great!
[05:53] <Derander> vbman11: Don't know, never used banshee
[05:53] <oddalot> hi, with dual screens, how do you move windows from one screen to the next?
[05:53] <wolfjb> berkelep: Yay!
[05:53] <Derander> oddalot: nvidia?
[05:53] <MikeCulver> I'm having stuttering or freezing of video playback on especially high resolution videos.
[05:53] <vbman11> Derander: thanks anyways
[05:53] <oddalot> derander yes
[05:53] <wolfjb> vocx: yeah, I tried turning it off, but it didn't help
[05:53] <vbman11> anyone else?
[05:53] <Derander> vbman11: sorry that I can't be of more help
[05:53] <Derander> oddalot: Are you using the nvidia non-free driver?
[05:54] <wolfjb> vocx: prolly means I need to logoff/logon or something, I guess
[05:54] <oddalot> i'm using the restricted drivers
[05:54] <ouellettesr> how do i register add a new font?
[05:54] <oddalot> i have compiz on etc..
[05:54] <Derander> oddalot: not sure if it'll work then, but try (in terminal) sudo nvidia-config
[05:54] <wolfjb> vocx: used to find the setting in the window manager settings, I think
[05:54] <ouellettesr> register/add
[05:54] <oddalot> derander that's how installed the dual monitor support
[05:54] <vocx> wolfjb, sure, logoff and then tell us if it worked.
[05:54] <oddalot> but i can't move windows to the other screen
[05:54] <wolfjb> brb
[05:54] <Derander> oddalot: are you using twinview or dual X sessions?
[05:54] <oddalot> i don't know
[05:55] <Derander> oddalot: okay, type into terminal sudo nvidia-settings and we'll find out
[05:55] <oddalot> brb
[05:55] <siva> How to change the default dispaly manager?
[05:55] <MikeCulver> I can't get H264 video to play back smoothly or reliably.
[05:55] <ouellettesr> how do i add a new font?
[05:55] <Derander> oddalot: when you do that click "x server display configuration" and tell me if it says "configuration: twinview" or not in the right panel
[05:56] <denver> i am having trouble using openvpn with 8.04
[05:56] <vbman11> has anyone here transitioned from itunes to banshee 0.99.1
[05:56] <cirkit_> hi, when I start my gnome session, nm-applet (for network-manager) does not automatically start / show up in the menu bar .. I always have to manually execute nm-applet & to start it so I can connect to a wireless network. Does anyone have a workaround?
[05:56] <denver> i seem to be able to connect to the vpn, but i can not get packets to go over it
[05:56] <Derander> cirkit_: system->preferences->session and add the command you use to startup?
[05:57] <oddalot> ok i think it's x twin
[05:57] <vbman11> Derander: yourtoo fast for me.
[05:57] <oddalot> or whatever
[05:57] <vocx> cirkit_, you can add the applet with right click add new applet right?
[05:57] <wolfjb> well, tried turning off the viewport switcher in ccsm, but now I only have a single workspace
[05:58] <cirkit_> vocx: I can, and only bluetooth manager will appear
[05:58] <Derander> vbman11: ?
[05:58] <cirkit_> Derander: I'll give that a shot, thanks.
[05:58] <denver> this openvpn thing is very annoying
[05:58] <Derander> oddalot: try twinviews
[05:58] <Derander> oddalot: it'll pretend your two monitors are one desktop instead of two
[05:58] <vocx> wolfjb, you can always add new workspaces, right click on the switcher.
[05:58] <vbman11> Derander: I was just typing up exactly what you just said
[05:58] <oddalot> derander where is the twinview setting?
[05:58] <Derander> vbman11: :-P
[05:59] <Digital7> Anyone here familiar with BIND9?
[05:59] <oddalot> oh i found it
[05:59] <Derander> oddalot: good :-)
[05:59] <vbman11>  has anyone here transitioned from itunes to banshee 0.99.1?
[05:59] <_Net> Man I dont know why this happens. When I run ubuntu..after a day of uptime..my sound stops working.
[05:59] <wolfjb> vocx: tried that, didnt' work-  the preferences only show how many columns/rows to display, didn't offer to create additional workspaces for me
[05:59] <_Net> none of the music players play anything, no sound from any internet websites.
[05:59] <MikeCulver> _Net: I have the same issue on my laptop.. new issue for me as of 8.04
[06:00] <_Net> Ya.
[06:00] <_Net> For me too.
[06:00] <vocx> vbman11, don't just copy paste everything, it may result harmful to your system if you do not know what each instruction does.
[06:00] <_Net> I didnt have this with 7.10
[06:00] <MikeCulver> _Net: I found that falling back to ALSA seems to work for a while...
[06:00] <Derander> _net: haven't had that problem, but then I haven't been using sound much.
[06:00] <vbman11> vocx: ??
[06:00] <MikeCulver> _Net: then that goes too.
[06:00] <Derander> mikeculver: what are you using instead of ALSA?
[06:00] <MikeCulver> Pulseaudio
[06:00] <_Net> MikeCulver: you mean fixing it with alsamixer?
[06:00] <Ashfire908> The login will be drawn at 1280 x 1024, while the video/monitor is 1024 x 768, and the rest of the screen is clipped.
[06:00] <Ashfire908> erm
[06:00] <denver> what about this horrible issue with openvpn
[06:01] <_Net> I just played with that and tried to fix it but no result.
[06:01] <MikeCulver> No.. in sound settings in gnome... switching outputs from pulse to alsa
[06:01] <_Net> Oh ok.
[06:01] <MikeCulver> OSS doesn't work on my sound hardware
[06:01] <vbman11> vocx: I want banshee to open my itunes library file
[06:01] <denver> what sound hardware would that be?
[06:01] <co_savirus> andi co metropolis
[06:01] <MikeCulver> intel... lemme lshw it

[06:01] <vocx> denver, you need to ask real questions, saying "this thing is awful" is of no help to anybody potentially willing to help you.

[06:01] <Ashfire908> I've having an issue with the gdm login screen. The screen will be drawn at 1280 x 1024, while the video/monitor is 1024 x 768, and the rest of the screen is clipped, clipping the bottom and right of the screen.
[06:02] <sonic_> how is the server BRASIL?

[06:03] <redwhitewaldo> i'm going to create a new user account. How can i migrate my firefox settings (saved passwords, bookmarks, extensions)???
[06:03] <Derander> Does anyone have a resource on how to get kiba-dock to run on Hardy?  Been trying to compile it all day, no luck]\

[06:03] <arooni> anyone have any suggestions for paid web proxies that randomize the IP address every so often?  i need programatic access from debian linux
[06:03] <MikeCulver> _Net: no.
[06:04] <rgravener> whats the name of the toilet that shoots water up yor but
[06:04] <MikeCulver> _Net: Do you by chance not have a swap partition set up?
[06:04] <_Net> I do.
[06:04] <bazhang> rgravener, wrong channel for that
[06:04] <_Net> 1gb swap.
[06:04] <MikeCulver> _Net: there goes that idea..
[06:04] <vocx> rgravener, do you want to be banned or just missed the correct channel?
[06:04] <_Net> Maybe its due to compiz fusion?
[06:04] <rgravener> bazhang: i'm just looking for a hint
[06:04] <eeboy> I just attempted to compile a dirt simple c program using GCC and it failed because it couldn't find stdio.h. How do I install the standard libs in ubuntu?
[06:05] <vocx> eeboy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=606009
[06:05] <drivetrax> fyi, it's a bidett
[06:05] <emma> rgravener, a bidet now please be on topic.
[06:05] <_Net> Lol.
[06:05] <rgravener> thanks
[06:05] <rgravener> http://ustream.tv/channel/sleep-time
[06:05] <_Net> Toilet that shows water up your bot. Haha.
[06:05] <_Net> Of all Places, in a ubuntu chat room.
[06:06] <_Net> Classic.
[06:06] <rgravener> how do i set my default shell to bash
[06:06] <lyzium> Is there a quick way by command to verify which video driver is loaded in X, im having alot of trouble with the xserver-intel-video driver and dont think its loading
[06:06] <rgravener> i knew the answer would be in here, because you guys are fucking smart
[06:06] <bazhang> rgravener, should be that way
[06:06] <MikeCulver> _Net: I found that the adobe flash plugin likes to kill my audio on the system... no idea how.
[06:06] <Starnestommy> rgravener: chsh
[06:06] <wolfjb> vocx: oddly, if I switched off my desktop effects, my workspaces appeared. re-enabling the desktop effects (so far) have not removed the extra workspaces. very odd
[06:06] <rgravener> i want bash
[06:06] <drivetrax> rgravener,  to set you shell.. just look in the water closet
[06:06] <eeboy> vocx: Thanks!
[06:06] <_Net> MikeCulver: Hmm, another possibilty.
[06:06] <Starnestommy> rgravener: that command lets you change your default shell
[06:06] <rgravener> oh thanks
[06:07] <_Net> MikeCulver: I guess since hardy is new its fair to have glitches. As long as the important ones get fixed soon.
[06:07] <emma> in case any of the ops in here are concerned rgravener posted a link to his live stream which contains a lot of filthy content.
[06:07] <rgravener> emma what stream?
[06:07] <vocx> wolfjb, if you can reproduce that, you might want to call it a bug and report it to package in launchpad
[06:07] <_Net> Just a random question to all linux users here.
[06:07] <MikeCulver> _Net: there are two things that go on between when I leave the system and when I come back to no audio.  1.  I turn on NPR for a little bedtime listening.  2. I leave a flash applet up and running.
[06:07] <_Net> How would you compare Gentoo to Ubuntu?
[06:07] <_Net> Im thinking of switching.
[06:08] <Derander> Gentoo has portage, ubuntu has apt-get.  Ubuntu comes with drivers.
[06:08] <MikeCulver> _Net: I hear Arch is nice.  That is my comparison.
[06:08] <vocx> _Net, that's offtopic, please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:08] <Derander> That is pretty much all I can see and I use both in production]
[06:08] <_Net> vocx: Thanks I'll do that.
[06:09] <_Net> MikeCulver: I dont leave anything on except my irc client which is irssi. And come back in the morning and no sound
[06:09] <wolfjb> vocx: ok, after logoff and logon, everything works like I want it to. thanks
[06:09] <MikeCulver> _Net: Different applications but similar symptoms.  Your blank menus are something I don't seem to get.
[06:09] <eeboy> Now I see that I need build-essentials. I attempt to install via apt-get and it asks me to insert the disc labeled Ubuntu 8.04. Seem odd... what does it need from the disc that is not available via the internet?
[06:09] <MikeCulver> _Net: Have you looked through your kernel logs?
[06:09] <vocx> wolfjb, he I just posted something when you left. I said that if you think you can reproduce that you could fill or search for a bug report or something in launchpad.
[06:10] <Derander> eeboy: have you enabled the internet repositories?
[06:10] <_Net> MikeCulver: Unfortunetly can't remember how to. Its been awhile.
[06:10] <moonwatcher> hi
[06:10] <MikeCulver> System > Admin >System Logs
[06:10] <vocx> eeboy, open software sources to uncheck the CDrom as source.
[06:10] <wolfjb> vocx: I'll see what I can do
[06:10] <moonwatcher_> .
[06:10] <_Net> Ok thanks
[06:10] <lyzium> how do i find out which video driver is loaded on an ubuntu system?
[06:11] <_Net> MikeCulver: Haha I cant even do that, it opens the dialog being blank.
[06:11] <_Net> I know It'll work if I did a restart but I like to know why it happens
[06:11] <MikeCulver> lyzium: glxinfo?
[06:11] <eeboy> vocx: That did the trick... thanks x 2
[06:12] <vocx> eeboy, it's actually a good thing to have it on the CD but many people trip on that one. Ubuntu has stable packages, so what you have on the CD is the same you get from the net, unless there are security updates.
[06:12] <wolfjb> lyzium: you can get hints from /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it should have a Driver option for the video card, then you can lsmod and search for something that looks like that name in xorg.conf
[06:12] <RyanPrior> lyzium: glxinfo will give you that information.
[06:12] <lyzium> i see, thanks! ;)
[06:12] <wolfjb> lyzium: you can also use dpkg -l and search xserver to see what might be installed (synaptic might be easier for that task)
[06:13] <hotmonkeyluv> is there a gui too that'll help me find and mount my partitions?
[06:13] <drivetrax> intersting - pitivi the NLE editor for video, starts to play an imported AVI, then all the window for pitivi goes black
[06:13] <Derander> hotmonkeyluv: gparted'll show you your partitions
[06:14] <vocx> actually, to see which video driver is loaded you would probably check "lsmod"  or go through the /var/log/Xorg.0.log  or do "lshw" many options really.
[06:14] <Derander> hotmunketluv then you just type sudo mount /dev/gparted's name /path/to/your/target
[06:14] <hotmonkeyluv> Derander: thanks
[06:14] <drivetrax> I told it to use ffmpeg2
[06:14] <StevenTyler> vocx, and how do I change it?
[06:14] <wolfjb> hotmonkeyluv: there is also a panel applet you can add called DiskMounter which might be interesting
[06:15] <lyzium> wolfjb, most of my trouble is that i can have lots of video driver packages on the system that arent running, but in xorg.conf it only says "device"    Driver  "default device"
[06:15] <hotmonkeyluv> wolfjb: thanks!
[06:15] <StevenTyler> I too am having the same problem
[06:15] <vocx> StevenTyler, if you open /etc/X11/xorg.conf it gives you a command at the top to change the video drivers, but if you have Ati or Nvidia there is a proper method for that.
[06:16] <StevenTyler> I see. Thanks. Mine's Nvidia but the res is set to 800x600. So could be some problem there. Now I gotta reboot and try.
[06:17] <lyzium> can you guys tell from my glxinfo which driver im utilizing at the moment? http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14382823/glxinfo
[06:17] <jamie_> why would gmplayer not be able to find the sound card when mplayer can?
[06:17] <Le-Chuck_IT1> Hi there, I am constrained to use metacity on an older laptop. It is quite fast but: whytf does it switch windows only if I press alt+tab _twice_? It stays _on the same_ window if I press it only once, this is straining for my wrist
[06:17] <vocx> lyzium, better give the output of "lshw"  and "lsmod"
[06:17] <Le-Chuck_IT1> is there a way to change this behaviour?
[06:17] <bthornton> Is it possible to install Ubuntu Hardy from a USB flash drive? I'm not interested in running off of the flash drive; I'm trying to put Ubuntu on a machine with a broken CD drive.
[06:18] <vocx> lyzium, glxinfo is for checking GLX driver which is a different kind of driver... But mmm... you are using some Intel driver I think.
[06:18] <clintchance> Anyone Familiar with Paypal Programing im trying to get post varables to transfer but no lck
[06:18] <exador> could someone help me install moblock because i have no idea what i am doing, first time ubuntu user?
[06:18] <hotmonkeyluv> Derander: it's saying that mount point "/sde2" does not exist
[06:18] <bthornton> So far, I've gotten the flash drive to boot and run the installer, but then the installer only wants to look for an Internet mirror for the installation media. If I could get it to look for the boot volume for an ISO file, I'd be set.
[06:18] <lyzium> vocx,  sec, ill do that and upload it in my previous report
[06:19] <lyzium> vocx, thats correct, im just not certain which one

[06:20] <vocx> bthornton, I feel like you've gotten the minimum install that pulls off all packages from net... dunno. Are you sure? I think there are tons of guides for this is the forums.
[06:20] <bazhang> senghoo, go ahead and ask ;]
[06:20] <dave__> redwhitewaldo: you can use sudo chmod ownername:groupname -R foldername
[06:20] <MikeCulver> exador: not that it's my business why they made it, but it seems to make more sense to impliment something like that in the hosts file
[06:20] <dave__> redwhitewaldo: if you follow me
[06:21] <dave__> redwhitewaldo: whoops. I meant chown
[06:21] <MikeCulver> exador: what problem are you having with it?

[06:22] <senghoo> em~~ how about kde4 now ? is it  Stability?
[06:22] <bazhang> #kubuntu-kde4 can answer that senghoo ;]
[06:22] <dave__> redwhitewaldo: any luck?
[06:22] <vocx> jlc, there is not root password nor root account activated by defualt
[06:22] <vocx> !root | jlc

[06:23] <jlc> ubottu, I was trying to follow directions to install java (jre) and it said to go to su, password...  so your saying I can do everything with sudo?
[06:24] <bazhang> samba ssh what do you mean vagothcpp
[06:24] <dave__> vagothcpp: you can access a window's share area (SMB) with GNOME, to share files
[06:24] <exador> MikeCulveri, am having problems installing it from the terminal, i am reading a form and it tells me i need to add deb http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian hardy main to /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:24] <redwhitewaldo> dave__:  that seemed to work. thnak you.
[06:24] <lyzium> i'd feel stupid for filing a bug under the intel package if it isnt even in use on my system
[06:24] <MikeCulver> jlc: sudo does what mere users cannot
[06:24] <dave__> redwhitewaldo: great stuff!
[06:24] <vagothcpp> I got 8gb of file to copy, and I am using console
[06:24] <vocx> jlc, ubottu is not human, but yes, you can "become" root with sudo. It is very convenient.
[06:24] <redwhitewaldo> where is the .pidgin folder? i can't find it in home directory.

[06:25] <dave__> redwhitewaldo: have you tried viewing your folder with 'show hidden files and folders'?
[06:25] <Le-Chuck_IT1> anolis:

[06:25] <redwhitewaldo> dave__: yes
[06:25] <Le-Chuck_IT1> anolis: make the ubuntu partition bootable ?
[06:25] <senghoo> let's me try..
[06:25] <dave__> redwhitewaldo: perhaps it does not exist
[06:25] <senghoo> thank you ..
[06:25] <redwhitewaldo> dave__: but where does pidgin save files?
[06:25] <bazhang> ;]
[06:25] <redwhitewaldo> like chats, and extensions, and account info?
[06:25] <anolis> it is.
[06:25] <MikeCulver> exador: have you tried downloading the package and installing manually?
[06:25] <vocx> lyzium, well, you shouldn't fill a bug report so easily. 3D always fails, all the time with different drivers, moreover it is not the 2D driver itself, but the 3D implementations, which are part of DRI packages I think.
[06:26] <Le-Chuck_IT1> anolis: on my acer I have to flag the partition sda1 as bootable and install grub there, not on sda
[06:26] <dave__> redwhitewaldo: I believe it is in .purple
[06:26] <bazhang> !nickspam > cow_pngen
[06:26] <anolis> Le-Chuck_IT1, i can't even get it to read from the hdd..
[06:26] <redwhitewaldo> dave__:  oh, yes. wonder why they didn't name it .pidgin
[06:26] <anolis> i was wondering if there may be a guide
[06:26] <drivetrax> lol.. "Super Cow Powers"
[06:26] <exador> MikeCulver, the thing is i don't now where to go find it to download it everywhere i look it says to use the terminal
[06:26] <vocx> jlc, and you do not need to follow strange steps form the Sun site to install Java. Java is in the repos, you can apt-get it.
[06:26] <anolis> or something
[06:26] <lyzium> vocx, so im wasting peoples time by filing this bug you think?
[06:27] <Le-Chuck_IT1> anolis: it says no operating system
[06:27] <Le-Chuck_IT1> how do you know that it doesn't read from HD?
[06:27] <jlc> vocx, what's the syntax for that?
[06:27] <anolis> Le-Chuck_IT1, because the same thing happens if i take the hdd out of the tablet
[06:27] <senghoo> Oh no it says cant find some ...
[06:27] <MikeCulver> exador: ah.. well, you're not going about it incorrectly.. not quite anyway.. the text I read says to add the following to your sources:  "deb http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian hardy main deb-src http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian hardy main"
[06:27] <dave__> if I have a file of format: "[a-z]+ .*" and I want the [a-z]+ parts printing out in seperate lines, what can I use to do that?
[06:28] <Le-Chuck_IT1> anolis: did it work before ubuntu?
[06:28] <JR_Moneybags> Can someone help me re: Installation error on 7.10 - I'm getting a BusyBox screen with a command prompt.
[06:28] <vocx> lyzium, yes, probably. Look, many other similar bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/196220   Best thing you could do is try determine if it is a duplicate bug.
[06:28] <bazhang> back in a bit
[06:28] <anolis> no no.. i just got this thing off ebay.. no os pre-installed
[06:28] <Le-Chuck_IT1> anolis: make a bootable usb pen with ubuntu _live_ on that
[06:28] <Le-Chuck_IT1> and then try to boot from first hard disk
[06:28] <vocx> jlc, this would help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=606009
[06:28] <Le-Chuck_IT1> or else fiddle with the bios :)
[06:28] <anolis> Le-Chuck_IT1, is there a guide on how to do that? i was considering that
[06:29] <lwizardl> hi
[06:29] <lyzium> vocx, okay i'll look it through and try and delete it if its a duplication. thanks for helping out
[06:29] <exador> MikeCulver, so how do i do that
[06:29] <lwizardl> in 8.04 how do i stop auto launching of media?
[06:29] <MikeCulver> exador: I'm looking at my sources through System > Admin > Software Sources
[06:29] <jlc> vocx, programming talk?
[06:29] <Le-Chuck_IT1> anolis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[06:29] <Le-Chuck_IT1> pretty handy to have ubuntu always with you :)
[06:30] <vocx> lyzium, you cannot delete it, you can mark it as a duplicate so it doesn't gather more attention than it deserves
[06:30] <MikeCulver> exador: The line should be added to the list in 'third-party sources'.
[06:30] <lwizardl> becuase the options for dvd & cd media is removed from the "removal media" tool
[06:30] <vocx> jlc, yes? there is a FAQ
[06:30] <jlc> vocx, I've got the file I downloaded from sun, now I just need to figure out how to install it.
[06:30] <anolis> Le-Chuck_IT1, mmm lemme see
[06:30] <Le-Chuck_IT1> nobody knows why metacity sometimes does not switch window on first alt+tab? that seems one of those "usability" features that I don't understand
[06:30] <exador> MikeCulver, thanks
[06:31] <vocx> jlc, don't do it that way is my advice.  Do "sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk"
[06:31] <JR_Moneybags> \exit
[06:31] <jlc> vocx, ty
[06:31] <MikeCulver> exador: no problem.  Also, dunno if it matters, but there is another note on their SF site...  says something about needing to have ubuntu.com in your lists... seems unnecessary, but I may be reading it wrong.
[06:31] <lyzium> vocx, i see thanks
[06:31] <vocx> Le-Chuck_IT1, maybe it is stuck because you said your laptop is old?
[06:32] <jlc> vocx, I need the jre, can I just change the name of the download?
[06:33] <sarmisak> hi all
[06:33] <Le-Chuck_IT1> vocx: no it is a software thingy: first alt+tab brings up window list, second one moves
[06:33] <vocx> jlc, search packages through synaptic, yes. JRE is the runtime only, I thought you wanted the development kit to actually program in java. Maybe I didn't get you the first time.
[06:33] <dave__> good times!
[06:33] <senghoo> hi sarmisak
[06:33] <dave__> see you guys around
[06:34] <vocx> Le-Chuck_IT1, I think that has happened to me also. Not always, though. Just a few times.
[06:35] <sarmisak> is anyone using flash player without problems with amd64 distro?
[06:36] <MikeCulver> sarmisak: yes.. but I'm cheating and using the standalone flash player for windows in WINE :)
[06:36] <sarmisak> MikeCulver, neat idea :D i'll try that
[06:36] <jlc> vocx, ty.  I got it installed but it don't work in Firefox.
[06:37] <vocx> MikeCulver, 64 bit flash in 64 bit wine in 64 bit distro? Is that possible?
[06:37] <jlc> vocx, and yes, it is enabled.
[06:37] <lwizardl> anyone know how to disable auto play on Disc media ? stuff like DVD, CD, and Music?
[06:37] <MikeCulver> sarmisak: it'll surprise you.. the performance seems to be better with the Windows-based player than the native windows one.
[06:37] <Chapai> anybody in here installed 4oD (channel 4 on demand) with wine?
[06:37] <Daisuke_Laptop> lwizardl: it's been moved since gutsy (due to GVFS)
[06:37] <eeboy> if I connect a USB->RS232 dongle to my system how do I access it? I mean... windows would assign a COM number to it but what does ubuntu do? Should it show up under /dev?
[06:37] <sarmisak> MikeCulver, yeah i'm sure, even windows runs faster in virtualbox ;)
[06:37] <lwizardl> GVFS?
[06:37] <MikeCulver> vocx: no.. it's 32-bit player in wine 32-bit mode in 64-but ubuntu
[06:38] <Daisuke_Laptop> lwizardl: right click the system menu and choose to edit menus, scroll down to system / preferences and check "file management"  close that, and it'll be System > Preferences > File Management
[06:38] <vocx> jlc, well, there is a separate package for the web plugins, I think ..."sun-java6-plugin"
[06:38] <Snake__> Could anyone help me with configing wifi?
[06:38] <Daisuke_Laptop> lwizardl: i was hunting for the exact same information not two days ago :)
[06:39] <lwizardl> whats GVFS?
[06:39] <MikeCulver> gnome virtual filesystem?
[06:39] <JDSBlueDevl> hi, I'm having problems visualizing a scrollbar in some GNOME applications, regardless of window manager.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
[06:39] <jlc> vocx, btw, will these work on the x64 version?
[06:39] <vocx> eeboy, yes, probably. You should do "dmesg" to read kernel message when you insert some device or hardware component and see what it tells you. Also the logs will show it.
[06:39] <Daisuke_Laptop> !gvfs
[06:39] <Daisuke_Laptop> meh
[06:40] <Daisuke_Laptop> new virtual file system in hardy, from what i understand
[06:40] <lwizardl> Daisuke_Laptop, thank you so very much. Now I can burn and verify my discs without it trying to play them during verify
[06:41] <mattgyver83> Hey room.  I just setup my computer to use a Wiimote as a remote and I would like to assign the buttons to keys found on the keyboard, how can i find what the mappings are?
[06:41] <MikeCulver> lwizardl: if you're refering to duplicate filesystems in your system monitor with one of them being a gvfs, I think it's just an alias that gnome apps are supposed to use.
[06:41] <vocx> jlc, ow! Maybe you want to try the 64-bit forum in ubuntuforums.org  I really don't know... Maybe they work, maybe not. If they are in the repos they should work. Arg, don't know.
[06:41] <eeboy> vocx: I get... [37866.403749] usb 3-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0... would writing data out be as simple as piping to ttyUSB0?
[06:41] <jlc> vocx, ty, will look into it.
[06:41] <Daisuke_Laptop> MikeCulver: nah, i was just explaining why the cd/dvd removable media options got moved from "removable media" to file management.
[06:41] <Radit> can somebody help? i'm unable to use ctl+alt+f1 etc to switch terminals(?)
[06:41] <babolat> ifireball, bazhang if you're still interested in the mystery, i still haven't found an answer to my Google problems
[06:42] <vocx> eeboy, maybe, try it. I've never done it, but I've read about it, and yes maybe that's all you need.
[06:42] <eeboy> vocx: thanks!
[06:43] <Radit> can somebody help? i'm unable to use ctl+alt+f1 etc to switch terminals(?) the terminals just display a blink underscore: _
[06:43] <dweebgirl> hey what are you all using for a good wireless assistant
[06:43] <dweebgirl> the one i'm currently using sux
[06:43] <JDSBlueDevl> hi, I'm having problems visualizing a scrollbar in some GNOME applications, regardless of window manager.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
[06:43] <MikeCulver> Radit:  you can switch to tty0 with the combo you listed...
[06:43] <vocx> mattgyver83, that's interesting question. Might want to check the forums. Also try running "xev"  it captures X events like mouse clicks and key presses. Press the wiimote buttons and see what it tells you.
[06:43] <babolat> please look into my problem.. it's at -->http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=788746
[06:44] <Rat409> wifi-radar or wicd?
[06:44] <Radit> MikeCulver: how?
[06:44] <mattgyver83> vocx thanks for the info
[06:44] <MikeCulver> Radit:  To switch to others, it's ctrl+alt+[f1-fwhatever]
[06:44] <MikeCulver> Radit: ctrl+alt+f1 goes to tty0
[06:44] <Starnestommy> babolat: does http://<IP_ADDRESS> work?
[06:44] <m0u5e> is there a way to change package version information once it has been installed?
[06:45] <MikeCulver> Radit: ctrl+alt+f2 would go to tty1
[06:45] <babolat> Starnestommy, no it does not
[06:45] <MikeCulver> etc.
[06:45] <vocx> mattgyver83, if you have some names for the wiimote buttons you may be able to use "xmodmap" to map things to it.
[06:45] <babolat> Starnestommy, oh YES it does!
[06:45] <babolat> what the
[06:45] <Starnestommy> babolat: it's a DNS issue
[06:45] <Radit> MikeCulver: The only terminal (is this the correct term?) that works is ctl+alt+f7 whic brings the gnome gui.. others just display a blinking underscore: _
[06:45] <Blaenk> hey guys how can I see what video card I have
[06:45] <dweebgirl> wifi radar
[06:45] <babolat> Starnestommy, why weren't u in here when i was miserable??? lol.. how'd you do that?
[06:45] <sarmisak> babolat, try going to kloth.net
[06:45] <dweebgirl> rat409, wifi
[06:46] <MikeCulver> Radit:  That is not something I am familiar with.  Did you install with any special options or methods?
[06:46] <sarmisak> babolat, and then check your ip is black listed
[06:46] <babolat> sarmisak, checking
[06:46] <Starnestommy> babolat: google's dns seems to resolve differently on different nameservers.  Your current DNS servers may be the problem
[06:46] <sarmisak> babolat, you might be blacklisted, happened before
[06:46] <Rat409> Radit: try sudo useradd -g tty username:primary-usergroup
[06:46] <vocx> Radit, I have the same problem.. heh... seems like some things break that feature without notice. Try reconfiguring X and see if it's fixed.
[06:47] <MikeCulver> Radit:  It is possible to just get a cursor on the screen for a while if you have a slower system..  But the text for the terminal should eventually appear
[06:47] <mattgyver83> vocx, or i could read the man pages ';\ the answer was right there.  Thanks again.
[06:47] <babolat> Starnestommy, am i to ask my isp to change my DNS?
[06:47] <Starnestommy> babolat: you can change your DNS servers in your network settings.
[06:47] <vocx> mattgyver83, man pages for what? I think I've read it is some python program, but have no real experience with it.
[06:47] <Radit> MikeCulver: i've waited pretty long.. the text just appear..
[06:48] <mattgyver83> for wminput
[06:48] <MikeCulver> Radit: can you type anything?  Login?
[06:48] <Radit> vocx: how do you do that? does that solution work for you?
[06:48] <Starnestommy> babolat: <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> usually work for me.  They're OpenDNS's servers
[06:48] <babolat> Starnestommy, as far as i now, it's automatically resolved by my ISP. dynamic not static service package.. i can be able to do that?
[06:48] <Radit> MikeCulver: no.. just a blinking underscore: _
[06:48] <babolat> Starnestommy, as far as i now, it's automatically resolved by my ISP. dynamic not static service package.. i can be able to do that?
[06:48] <Starnestommy> babolat: yes
[06:49] <Goran_> cam wubi install just minimal system?
[06:49] <MikeCulver> Radit:  Try the suggestion that Rat409 posted
[06:49] <JR_Moneybags_> Can someone help me please installing 7.10 - I am getting a BusyBox screen with a command prompt.
[06:49] <babolat> Starnestommy, care to walk me through it? im connecting via PPPoE adsl modem
[06:49] <m0u5e> is there a way to change package version information once it has been installed?
[06:49] <Radit> MikeCulver: rat409?
[06:49] <MikeCulver> (01:46:34 AM) Rat409: Radit: try sudo useradd -g tty username:primary-usergroup
[06:50] <Starnestommy> babolat: I don't know how to do it with pppoe
[06:50] <babolat> sarmisak, kloth.net does not load
[06:50] <vocx> Radit, that solution hasn't been tested because I don't feel like rebooting right now, ha ha. But to reconfigure your X server follow the command at the top of /etc/X11/xorg.conf   warning it may break the video.
[06:50] <Radit> MikeCulver: can you please give a working example?
[06:50] <Rat409> Radit: add your user to "group" tty i.e. sudo useradd -g tty your-normal-user-name-here:users
[06:50] <Radit> vocx: damn you, hehe..
[06:51] <sarmisak> babolat, hmms you have a major problem here
[06:51] <sarmisak> are you behind a proxy?
[06:51] <sarmisak> or is there a firewall?
[06:51] <babolat> sarmisak, tell me about it
[06:51] <m0u5e> or is there a way to configure my system by default to accept custom compiled packages
[06:51] <vocx> Radit, yeah, I just joined the channel with the same question... I'll try that to Rat409 thanks!
[06:52] <Radit> Rat409: sudo useradd -g tty this_is_me:users is this example correct?
[06:52] <babolat> Starnestommy, i see where to change the DNSs.. do i delete the ones i have now, or just add the OpenDNS ones?
[06:52] <Rat409> Radit: yes
[06:52] <Starnestommy> babolat: add the opendns ones before the ones you have not
[06:52] <Starnestommy> *now
[06:52] <Rat409> Radit like Radit:users
[06:52] <sarmisak> babolat, open a term window
[06:52] <rangef1nder> my network icon disappeared :-/
[06:53] <babolat> sarmisak, ok
[06:53] <sarmisak> babolat, then; cd /etc/dhcp/
[06:53] <Intrepid> Hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu a few days ago, and just got my wireless working with ndiswrapper =D
[06:53] <vocx> Rat409, but there is no tty group by default? Then why it works without it, or why it used to work without it?
[06:53] <sarmisak> sorry cd /etc/dhcp3/
[06:53] <babolat> sarmisak, no such file or directory
[06:53] <vocx> Intrepid, what card do you have?
[06:54] <sarmisak> ok, find a directory about dhcp then :D
[06:54] <Rat409> vocx: just know i had same issue and now i don't <shrug>
[06:54] <Radit> Rat409: error, useradd: invalid user name '****:users:' ...
[06:54] <sarmisak> in the directory; sudo nano dhclient.conf
[06:54] <Intrepid> Hrm, not really sure. I know it didn't detect my card. I'm using a WinXP driver for the AR5007eg card, though. If it helps, the laptop I'm on is a Sony VGN-NR110E
[06:54] <sarmisak> you'll see a prepend command
[06:54] <Intrepid> I just followed a guide on ubuntuforums.org to get it working
[06:54] <Rat409> try user whatever your primary group is i normally config mine by editing files its faster
[06:55] <sarmisak> change it to; prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>,<IP_ADDRESS>;
[06:55] <vocx> Intrepid, it's an Atheros card then. It should have worked with free drivers I think. But if the guide was there, then it was probably a good solution also.
[06:55] <sarmisak> and then; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[06:55] <nooberish> is the torrent from ubuntu corrupted? i can intall to virtualbox.....
[06:55] <babolat> sarmisak, Starnestommy it works! i took note of the ISP-provided DNSs, deleted them. Then added OpenDNS addresses, then added back the two ISP-provided nameserver addresses.. wohoo!! now, to reboot and see if anything is messed up!! any notes before i leave?
[06:55] <Radit> rat409: for example, if there is a user named "homer" how do i apply that command?
[06:55] <Intrepid> the drivers were free =]
[06:56] <sarmisak> why reboot?
[06:56] <babolat> sarmisak, dunno.. just to check ? lol
[06:56] <sarmisak> just restart networking
[06:56] <sarmisak> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[06:56] <vocx> Intrepid, no, they are gratis, not free as in freedom.
[06:57] <Intrepid> vocx, I'm not actually sure if it is an Atheros card. I read somewhere else on the forums that someone got the wireless to work on my laptop, despite it not being the correct type of driver/
[06:57] <babolat> sarmisak, Starnestommy were the changes applied only to me or also to the other users i have set up?
[06:57] <Chrysalis> any idea why i am shooting past 1gig ram with just firefox/xchat/pidgin and palying music?  i dont quite understand the whole gtk/kde/gnome version of apps yet and i have a feeling like i am running 3 versions of different libraries for each program, it just doesnt make sence, 1gig of ram for just web/misic/chat is way too much
[06:57] <[T]an2> is there a way for me to do active x websites in linux?
[06:57] <Intrepid> I may be wrong though, but I was hoping I could get some help with Wine and a trackpad issue I'm having
[06:58] <Starnestommy> babolat: I think it's for the whole system
[06:58] <babolat> Starnestommy, ok.. thank you. you have just alleviated my three-day misery
[06:58] <[T]an2> will wine and IE do ActiveX?
[06:58] <h4mx0r> sound doesn't work in smplayer how can I fix it?
[06:58] <BeatBreaker82> hi, im having problems i think my sources.lst is broken
[06:58] <Starnestommy> [T]an2: yes
[06:58] <BeatBreaker82> my message is
[06:58] <vocx> Intrepid, it happens. It also happens that one thing is the brand selling the card and the other thing is the chipset, which is actually what is doing the job.
[06:58] <Radit> rat409: ehem.. for example, if there is a user named "homer" how do i apply that command?
[06:58] <BeatBreaker82> Third party sources disabled
[06:58] <BeatBreaker82> Some third party entries in your sources.list were disabled. You can re-enable them after the upgrade with the 'software-properties' tool or your package manage
[06:58] <maco> [T]an2: i believe o
[06:58] <maco> [T]an2: *so
[06:58] <beniamino> where can i add custom stuff to run on startup? it used to be rc.local, but now that contains system stuff and my local changes get destroyed on upgrade
[06:59] <h4mx0r> BeatBreaker82: copy the sources.list from the cdrom you have of ubuntu
[06:59] <maco> beniamino: on login or startup in general?
[06:59] <generic> hi all how i make shadow links in ubuntu
[06:59] <beniamino> maco: system startup
[06:59] <maco> generic: shadow links?
[06:59] <maco> beniamino: oh. ok nvm
[06:59] <generic> ya shadow liks
[06:59] <emma> do you mean symlinks?
[06:59] <Amaranth> beniamino: nothing in /etc should get automatically destroyed on upgrade
[06:59] <generic> no no
[06:59] <h4mx0r> maco: twilight princess rofl
[06:59] <tenub> any idea why it seems my ubuntu alternative cd installation needs an internet connection to install base components?
[06:59] <Amaranth> beniamino: least of all rc.local
[06:59] <MikeCulver> 1080p video stutters very badly on my system.  But I can still switch back and forth between other applications and the system runs smoothly.  What can I do to improve video playback at high resolution?
[06:59] <JDSBlueDevl> hi, I have a new problem.  I can't get sound in GNOME unless I turn the volume up very loud, and even then it's soft and muffled under static
[06:59] <JDSBlueDevl> can someone help?
[07:00] <maco> beniamino: i mean, id make symlinks in the different /etc/init.x directories, but....
[07:00] <generic> in shadow links i can apply any rights related to users
[07:00] <pc04> lily
[07:00] <maco> h4mx0r: what?
[07:00] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: Buy a much faster CPU
[07:00] <zvacet> BeatBreaker82 : system>admin>software sources<third party<enable them there
[07:00] <vocx> tenub, maybe you got the minimal version. There are various versions right now.
[07:00] <pc04> lily_air
[07:00] <generic> in symling primary roor links apply
[07:00] <generic> root permissions
[07:00] <tenub> one would think all the files needed to install would be on the cd.
[07:00] <Rat409> vocx: might have been this   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/129910 not usre
[07:00] <emma> I think I need to sleep. Goodnight #ubuntu
[07:00] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: An Athlon 64 X2 4050 Black Edition isn't good enough?
[07:00] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: Nope
[07:00] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: but.. it is fine in Windows...
[07:00] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: On Windows 1080p works because it uses the GPU
[07:01] <maco> generic: ive never heard of that and its not in the ln manpage
[07:01] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: In Linux we have no access to this part of the GPU
[07:01] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: ah..  But I used FFdshow on Windows... not a hardware-based codec
[07:01] <generic> ok
[07:01] <generic> so
[07:01] <compbrain> Amaranth: More specific, Windows has better codecs for 1080p playback
[07:01] <m0u5e> anyone know?
[07:01] <compbrain> Linux video codecs tend to suck wind unfortunately
[07:01] <m0u5e> or is there a way to configure my system by default to accept custom compiled packages
[07:01] <generic> see i want to make a link from root but then i want to apply ownership of user in user home dir
[07:01] <Amaranth> compbrain: Sure, they have CoreAVC
[07:01] <generic> what to do
[07:02] <m0u5e> is there a way to change package version information once it has been installed?
[07:02] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: Well, would it possibly help to change video playback methods?  I would like to try it I can.
[07:02] <generic> if i do it now it says to user not enough permissions
[07:02] <Amaranth> compbrain: It's only better because it's multithreaded
[07:02] <h4mx0r> maco: do you have any tips for applications that have no sound. its just smplayer that doesn't have sound
[07:02] <Rat409> m0u5e: get a source pkg and compile it ?
[07:02] <Intrepid> I've downloaded Wine (Version 0.9.59), and I'm trying to find a .exe from my windows partition. I can browse the partition (If it helps, its in NTFS and its a Vista partition, which is why I'm on Ubuntu <3), however, I can not find the .exe through the deskstop folder or through the start menu->Programs folder. Actually, almost no .exe files are showing. Non in the desktop folder, nor programs folder. Any ideas?
[07:02] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: I just don't know how to go about doing that.. Or is it truly useless?
[07:02] <compbrain> Amaranth: It is also a better decoder overall, even single threaded it is faster
[07:02] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: Xv is the only one that has a chance, gl will probably run just about as fast and the rest will run much slower
[07:02] <maco> h4mx0r: no, but what was the zelda thing for?
[07:02] <Amaranth> compbrain: It never runs single threaded
[07:02] <zvacet> m0u5e : why do you want to do that
[07:02] <InfernoX222> hello - how can you install vista onto an exisiting partition of ubuntu and allow dual boot
[07:02] <vocx> Rat409, wow, that's a beautiful bug report.
[07:03] <Amaranth> compbrain: But this is the only codec I can think of where windows has something better
[07:03] <compbrain> Amaranth: I mean, running on a single core
[07:03] <Radit> vocx: so it's fixed in hardy?
[07:03] <m0u5e> zvacet: i recently compiled something, but ubuntu keeps wanting to auto upgrade it (even though the package i compiled was newer)
[07:03] <vocx> Radit, I'm using Gutsy ha ha ha
[07:03] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: does EXA vs XAA matter here?  Also, would Compiz affect playback?
[07:03] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: No and not really
[07:03] <m0u5e> zvacet: if ubuntu comes out with a newer version, i'd want it to auto upgrade, but until then, i want it to accept my compiled package
[07:03] <Radit> hehe... os you have the same problem as me, hah haha
[07:04] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: turning compiz off might help a little bit if you aren't running the video fullscreen
[07:04] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: Also... my CPU is maxxing out at only 73% on one core..
[07:04] <beniamino> maco: so i want update-rc.d -f my_script start 90 0 ?
[07:04] <Intrepid> Infernox222, you have to create a seperate partition to install Vista. You can shrink the volume of your ubuntu partition, and use the empty space for Vista. Atleast thats what I did to put Ubuntu on my Vista laptop. =]
[07:04] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: The codec is not multithreaded
[07:04] <maco> m0u5e: no, you could build proper debs and set a version in there that is the ubuntu one then +1 or something so that if an ubuntu update comes through, it overrides your homemade deb though
[07:04] <InfernoX222> and for the dualboot screen?
[07:05] <Intrepid> Infernox222, gnome has a dual built screen built into the installation.
[07:05] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: To do pure software h.264 1080p playback you need CoreAVC (windows) or an intel core 2 duo overclocked to 4Ghz or so
[07:05] <maco> beniamino: looks about right...update-rc.d isnt actually meant for humans :P
[07:05] <m0u5e> maco: yeah, but for this one, I set the version # wrong... and I really don't want to recompile it, cause it would dtake time... is there a way for me to change it?
[07:05] <maco> beniamino: its so postinst scripts can handl things
[07:05] <maco> m0u5e: no, i dont think so
[07:05] <zvacet> m0u5e: Do you have two versions of package
[07:05] <vocx> Radit, Rat409 although you can't deny it's kinda hard to find and fill bug reports like that, I mean, where do you fill something like this. Those guys have Nvidia and intel but I have Via, so it's totally different I'd never search the nvidia packages and expect to find something similar.
[07:05] <InfernoX222> what can i use to shrink the partition? no net at the moment in hardy
[07:05] <h4mx0r> Amaranth: what gpu are you talking about?
[07:06] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: I'm telling you I was doing it with ffdshow in windows.  core actually performed slightly worse on this system.
[07:06] <m0u5e> zvacet: okay the package in question is "wesnoth 1.4.2"
[07:06] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: Then try disabling compiz
[07:06] <Intrepid> Infernox222, I'm new to Linux, so I can't tell you. Maybe ask some others and they can help you.
[07:06] <Amaranth> h4mx0r: sounds like intel
[07:06] <compbrain> There was an experimental mplayer patch to take advantage of potential compiz acceleration
[07:06] <m0u5e> zvacet: it's displayed as such: wesnoth 1.4.2-1 (mine) and wesnoth 1:4.1-1 (ubuntu)
[07:06] <InfernoX222> alright thank you
[07:06] <Amaranth> compbrain: not really acceleration
[07:06] <h4mx0r> Amaranth: umm he says he uses an amd...
[07:06] <Amaranth> compbrain: well, it used shaders to do scaling
[07:06] <compbrain> Yeah.
[07:06] <opop> hai
[07:07] <Amaranth> compbrain: Trust me, I know about it :)
[07:07] <compbrain> Someone doing it more effectivley than mplayer was ^-^
[07:07] <h4mx0r> MikeCulver: what's the prob man I'm not getting the facts right
[07:07] <zvacet> m0u5e : try to lock Ubuntu version in synaptic ( I don´t think you will see your version there)
[07:07] <Amaranth> compbrain: It is a bit of a performance win
[07:07] <JR_Moneybags_> Can someone help me please installing 7.10 - I am getting a BusyBox screen with a command prompt.
[07:07] <InfernoX222> can anyone tell me what default hardy program can shrink an exisiting ubuntu partition?
[07:07] <beniamino> maco: if it isn't meant for humans, is there an easier way? i just want to run one line on startup
[07:07] <Radit> hehe... os you have the same problem as me, hah haha
[07:08] <m0u5e> zvacet: no, i used checkinstall so synaptic does handle it, but i would like to upgrade via ubuntu's repos when and if a newer ver comes out
[07:08] <h4mx0r> infernoX222: the install cd has gparted on it if you need to resize
[07:08] <MikeCulver> h4mx0r: I'm trying to smooth out my playback of high-resolution video... I can get 720p to play like a dream.. but some 1080p/i stuff stutters or the video dies out and I just get audio... no further video updates.
[07:08] <compbrain> FullHD is hard.
[07:08] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: What video player are you using, btw?
[07:08] <zvacet> m0u5e :then lock your version
[07:08] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: Totem..
[07:08] <h4mx0r> MikeCulver: yeah... what hardware are you using?
[07:08] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: try mplayer
[07:08] <InfernoX222> alright cool - thank you
[07:08] <maco> beniamino: well i mean it has an ugly syntax because its not meant for humans. i think if you have the script in your /etc/init.d/ you can use the normal services config thing in system -> admin
[07:08] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: nvidia 7025
[07:09] <h4mx0r> MikeCulver: if mplayer sucks too hard try smplayer. and you using nv or nvidia driver?
[07:09] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: obviously using restricted nvidia-new
[07:09] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: I'm tempted to blame the whole thing on nvidia and run away
[07:09] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: lol
[07:09] <Amaranth> nvidia breaks everything :P
[07:09] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: well, I get worse results out of my FireGL in my laptop
[07:10] <h4mx0r> Amaranth: isn't surprising coming from the person saying he was using an intel graphics card on an amd motherboard :/
[07:10] <MikeCulver> h4mx0r: what?!?
[07:10] <StevenTyler> hello
[07:10] <n00dle> Is anyone using ipv6 successfully on 7.10?
[07:10] <Amaranth> h4mx0r: Was a brain fart
[07:10] <BeatBreaker82> whenever i download packages i get a ton or FAILED and HIT results
[07:10] <h4mx0r> MikeCulver: nothing just an admirer of your cpu
[07:10] <BeatBreaker82> E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room

[07:11] <Amaranth> h4mx0r: I can tell you every major bug in the intel, ati, fglrx, and nvidia drivers :P
[07:11] <vocx> BeatBreaker82, read the topic, seems like there is problems with servers.
[07:11] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: can you publish the list perhaps?
[07:11] <BeatBreaker82> orry
[07:11] <StevenTyler> My resolution is et to 800x600, while my Nvidia chipset has 1280x1024 capability. Please help, I will send you a free ticket to my show.
[07:11] <BeatBreaker82> sorry
[07:11] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: None of them are related to your problem
[07:11] <BeatBreaker82> there is a problem with servers
[07:11] <BeatBreaker82> i think my sources.lst is busted
[07:12] <BeatBreaker82> can i just get a copy of someone elses?
[07:12] <drivetrax> moving video desktop in Ubuntu - http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-loop-movie-or-video-as-desktop.html
[07:12] <h4mx0r> Amaranth: who can't? its called changelogs and launchpad :/
[07:12] <InfernoX222> i put in the ubuntu cd and restarted and see no gpartition option...
[07:12] <Amaranth> !repomirror > BeatBreaker82
[07:12] <vocx> BeatBreaker82, you can't paste more than a few lines, the bots will autoban you. Keep everything on the same line.
[07:12] <StevenTyler> No Aersosmith fans?
[07:12] <m0u5e> zvacet: okay, i found the solution, i just used "aptitude forbid-version wesnoth=1:4.1-1"
[07:12] <Amaranth> h4mx0r: Now you're just being insulting :p
[07:12] <m0u5e> zvacet: that way, when a new version comes out it will auto upgrade
[07:13] <zvacet> m0u5e: you locked it from terminal good
[07:13] <clintchance> Does ubuntu suport any of the atherose Wifi drivers?
[07:13] <m0u5e> zvacet: i didn't lock it, i just forbid the versions i mentions :D
[07:13] <Amaranth> clintchance: I think all the g cards work, dunno about n
[07:13] <emma> !repomirror > emma
[07:13] <h4mx0r> Amaranth: how are detailed bug reports insulting?
[07:13] <Amaranth> 802.11n, that is
[07:13] <Amaranth> h4mx0r: Nevermind
[07:13] <vocx> clintchance, yes sir. Read the forums. Tons of people with atheros cards.
[07:14] <clintchance> Amaranth its on a laptop  it has both
[07:14] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: Anyhow, did you try mplayer?
[07:14] <zvacet> m0u5e : O.K. but same result
[07:14] <Amaranth> clintchance: No, that means it's an n card
[07:14] <Amaranth> n cards support g too
[07:14] <Amaranth> clintchance: I have no clue if those work, last I heard they didn't but that was ~4 months ago
[07:14] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: mplayer works smooth as butter
[07:14] <h4mx0r> nclintchance: if its n then its also g and if its g its also b but it might not be a
[07:14] <Radit> is anybody here using hardy?
[07:15] <MikeCulver> 47% peak load
[07:15] <magnetron> Radit: yes.
[07:15] <JDSBlueDevl> hi, I'm trying to fix muffled sound output in my system.  How can I do this?
[07:15] <h4mx0r> Radit: of course
[07:15] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: Figures, gstreamer still has some problems with such things
[07:15] <m0u5e> Radit: yes
[07:15] <MidgetSpy> hey guys I have my PC hooked up to my TV on a fresh install of ubuntu and it was working fine but now I rebooted and it's just displaying a black screen. I tried logging in and I heard the login sound, so the PC is working correctly, it's just my display suddenly stops working when it should display the Gnome login screen. (I'm using a Panasonic 42" plasma). How can I reconfigure the video settings from the command line over ssh?
[07:15] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: however, it gives me errors about packet overflows in the buffer... even though the video is nice and smooth and synced
[07:15] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: bad video file?
[07:16] <drivetrax> MidgetSpy,  -- please turn off, then turn on the tv
[07:16] <Gohalien> Good night
[07:16] <Dennis> cewe_manis
[07:16] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: I'm inclined not to agree... this is with two different files... even encoded differently
[07:16] <BeatBreaker82> still problems
[07:16] <Dennis> cewe_manis
[07:16] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: Just seek around a bit and it starts freaking out.
[07:16] <Radit> do you have any regrets? ;-)
[07:16] <BeatBreaker82> i did the chosoe best server
[07:16] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: weird
[07:16] <InfernoX222> can anyone direct me to the prtition option on the hardy ubuntu cd? my listed options on boot are live cd install ubuntu check cd for defects test mem boot from first hdd
[07:16] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: anyhow, as long as it plays... :)
[07:17] <MidgetSpy> drivetrax: still nothing
[07:17] <Radit> i'm contemplating on installing hardy.. and read that most people still prefer gutsy..
[07:17] <drivetrax> MidgetSpy,  - does it help to re-set the plasma tv?
[07:17] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: well, you have to appreciate the sheer amount of data being buffered.. they probably set the sizes with 480p in mind
[07:17] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: I guess
[07:18] <MidgetSpy> drivetrax: the weird thing is this is a fresh re-install and it's having problems, but my last install (off the same CD) had no issues at all
[07:18] <zvacet> InfernoX222 : first one
[07:18] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: Although the general rule is if mplayer and/or vlc won't play it then it is either in a small group of unsupported codecs or the file is broken
[07:18] <Deepthought> InfernoX222: just start the live-cd, until you get to the desktop; there you can start gparted from the menu
[07:18] <Radit> gutsy vs hardy? whats your impression?
[07:18] <drivetrax> MidgetSpy,  -- possible the sessions changed
[07:18] <anolis> ok, well i got ubuntu to boot on my hammerhead tablet.. but now i can't get the stylus to work..
[07:18] <Amaranth> Radit: compiz is better in hardy :)
[07:18] <Deepthought> InfernoX222:  and, like zvacet said, it is the first option in the bootmenu
[07:18] <zvacet> InfernoX222 :  http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/installing
[07:18] <m0u5e> Radit: hardy is better
[07:19] <anolis> anyone know anything about stylus's and tablet pc's?
[07:19] <m0u5e> anolis: if you can get yours work, tell me :D
[07:19] <drivetrax> run a full screen video.. and use Compiz
[07:19] <vocx> Amaranth, on your list of codecs you would include wm9 or wm10 or something?
[07:19] <InfernoX222> thanks - and our router is messed up and only giving nt to one comp at a time... so no net access
[07:19] <InfernoX222> im on my cell lol
[07:19] <m0u5e> vocx: wm9 runs with w32codecs, although not lossless wma
[07:19] <opop> heh
[07:19] <MidgetSpy> drivetrax: so how can I reset the settings from the terminal?
[07:19] <Radit> Amaranth: are you sure? i've read http://fosswire.com/2008/04/24/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-review that gutsy is fater(?)...
[07:19] <Amaranth> vocx: I think only realmedia is in the list now, we have wmv3 support
[07:19] <darkgrue> weee i made it
[07:20] <darkgrue> hello ubuntites
[07:20] <Radit> darkgrue: hei :-)
[07:20] <Amaranth> Radit: I'm probably the worst person to get an opinion from. As a developer of course i want to saw the latest version if better, I put a lot of work into it. :)
[07:20] <tetrive> hello everyone   I am new here
[07:20] <darkgrue> me too tetrive ^_^
[07:20] <darkgrue> just wiped out windows on this machine last week
[07:21] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: Is it normal for mplayer to disallow seeking?
[07:21] <drivetrax> MidgetSpy,  - Ohhh, you can use a terminal?
[07:21] <Deepthought> Radit , hardy rockz !  However, why not just start the live-cd a couple-a-times and play around with it before you turn yer system upside down; see if ya like it ?
[07:21] <darkgrue> still tinkering around with configuring
[07:21] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: Nope
[07:21] <ectospasm> tetrive:  darkgrue:  this is a support channel.  Do you have specific questions?  If not move it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:21] <darkgrue> actually i do
[07:21] <MikeCulver> Amaranth: Does it just do it with files of a certain datarate?
[07:21] <darkgrue> i am having trouble with my dvd burners
[07:21] <anolis> does anyone know anything about stylus's?
[07:21] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: I don't think so
[07:21] <tetrive> I'm here for learning
[07:22] <Radtoo^laptop> anolis: canon printers?
[07:22] <Amaranth> MikeCulver: I would still blame your file :)
[07:22] <m0u5e> Radit: as a fellow end-user I have to say that gutsy was buggy and some apps were just broken, I feel that hardy is much more polished and faster than gutsy
[07:22] <Deepthought> darkgrue: what trouble ?
[07:22] <anolis> Radtoo^laptop, negative... i have a Hammerhead XRT. im trying to avoid using windows xp tablet edition.
[07:22] <Radit> Deepthought: hmm.. i'm very inclined to upgrade to hardy cause i love using gutsy very much.. I'll try..
[07:22] <darkgrue> well lets see....they don't burn....much.....
[07:22] <darkgrue> i can get the master drive to burn audio cds
[07:23] <darkgrue> and thats about it
[07:23] <Radtoo^laptop> anolis: Oh, so you mean a tablet pc, not a "canon stylus" series printer
[07:23] <darkgrue> the slave does not seem to mount at all
[07:23] <anolis> Radtoo^laptop, correct
[07:23] <vocx> !enter | darkgrue
[07:23] <drivetrax> MidgetSpy,  -- ctrl alt backspace  - kills the xwindow service
[07:23] <simtower> how do i track down the cause of repeated system lockups with ubuntu
[07:23] <Radtoo^laptop> anolis: So, well, I have some experience, though not with model in particular... most of the screens act as a synaptics device
[07:23] <Radit> Amaranth: your an ubuntu developer??
[07:24] <Amaranth> Radit: Something like that
[07:24] <vocx> simtower, maybe the logs in /var/log can shed an idea. You can view them also from the system menu.
[07:24] <Deepthought> Radit, like I said, Hardy' really great (xcept if you have a philips tv-card it might hang, did with me, but maybe they solved it already); but the great thing about the live-system-cd is that you don't have to decide on install before you check it out as much as you want, whil leaving your day-to-day sys intact
[07:24] <anolis> Radtoo^laptop, well i got it installed using a dell inspiron 1000 laptop. then popped the installed hdd into the hammerhead
[07:24] <anolis> Radtoo^laptop, had a bit of trouble getting it to boot at first, but that was operator error
[07:24] <vocx> Deepthought, what philips card, a saa7134?
[07:25] <InfernoX222> thanks for all your help guys - later!
[07:25] <Radit> Amaaranth: then of course you'll be bias, hehe..
[07:25] <billy12> ne know a good place to get *current* e-books about linux
[07:25] <Deepthought> vocx: YEP, WELL, IT'S A zOLID FROM aldi, BUT THE CHIP INDEED IS THAT ONE
[07:25] <Deepthought> sorry fer capslock foilks !
[07:25] <vocx> Deepthought, ha ha caps
[07:25] <Radit> Amaranth: j/k, your awesome
[07:25] <Radit> hehe..
[07:26] <StevenTyler> arrr, I just installed Ubuntu on Dell Dimension E521 but the resolution is set to 800x600, while it's capable of 1280x1024. How can I fix it? The max resolution selection value in the options is 800x600.
[07:26] <Deepthought> vocx: I' m gonna taker it off !   it's to close to tab
[07:26] <MidgetSpy> drivetrax: I have ssh access to the machine so yes I can use a terminal
[07:26] <anolis> perhaps there is a distro of linux more oriented at tablet computing?
[07:26] <vocx> Deepthought, don't you people look at the screen when you type?       Anyway, my saa7134 plays only with xawtv, but I bet it has something to do with my VIA video card which sucks.
[07:27] <Deepthought> darkgrue: please, if you respond to someone, use the name bfore the sentence, that way it gets highlighted in my screen so I know yer talking to mee
[07:27] <Radtoo^laptop> anolis: I don't know. You didn't really say what your current problem is in detail, either :)
[07:27] <azero> hi
[07:27] <StevenTyler> ;_:
[07:27] <JDSBlueDevl> hi, can someone help me with muffled sound?  It seems like everything is turned up, yet I'm getting muffled sound
[07:27] <JDSBlueDevl> help!
[07:28] <vocx> JDSBlueDevl, check your speakers headphones, maybe they are kaput. You never know.
[07:28] <anolis> Radtoo^laptop, my problem is, i have no OSK and the stylus doesn't do anything.. the pointer is sitting stationary in the middle of the screen. i have to plug a keyboard in to use the thing
[07:29] <Deepthought> vocx: actually, even though I type ten digits I lokk at the board; maybe because I learned using ten fingers on the piano, and I never play from sheetmusic ;-), look at the screen when it's done, but hitting enter is so automatic it's gone before ya know it; about the card; it used to hang hardy, some hal-initiation error, so I took it out until it got fixed; I take it it got fixed ?
[07:30] <Radtoo^laptop> anolis: well, I figure you could fix your xorg configuration for your stylus to work, manually (should be like for any synaptics device if your hardware is similar - sorry, can't google you a link, but at least this gives you search terms...)
[07:30] <vocx> StevenTyler, install the correct drives, use the restricted package, check the forums, there is a Dell subforum in ubuntuforums.org
[07:30] <darkgrue> so is someone going to try and help me or just send bots to harrass me over chat etiquette?
[07:30] <Radtoo^laptop> anolis: as far as an osk goes, how would you operate that without stylus?
[07:30] <JDSBlueDevl> my speakers were working fine a few days ago
[07:30] <JDSBlueDevl> I did recently have to reset all my GNOME settings
[07:31] <Deepthought> darkgrue: how did you burn the audio cd's ?  what program, I mean; and are you sure the slave is properly connected (did it work on another os for instance, or with the live cd ?   alll drives are supposed to mount automagic'ly
[07:31] <drivetrax> gnome desktop sound
[07:31] <anolis> Radtoo^laptop, thats the other problem.. the hardware spec's are very sparse.. (by plugging in a keyboard via the 1 usb port it has)
[07:31] <Dr_willis> Ive had issues with Being able to burn a dvd once. then the DVD burner some how gets lost by the system. :( Not sure what the deal is. seems tobe a deep issue however.
[07:31] <Deepthought> darkgrue: !patience
[07:31] <qcjn> hi, anyone knows of a xspf graphic playlist creator
[07:31] <drivetrax> JDSBlueDevl,  -- you reset gnome?  where is the sound now?
[07:31] <Deepthought> darkgrue: (sorry)
[07:31] <beniamino> what is /sbin/shutdown supposed to do by default? i thought it was -P for power off, but my system now seems to halt under hardy
[07:31] <drivetrax> JDSBlueDevl,  is gnome sound controller ALSA, or what
[07:31] <vocx> Deepthought, this is offtopic but what? Playing piano looking at your fingers?
[07:32] <Radtoo^laptop> anolis: there's various tools to get very exact hardware specs, such as "lshw", "lspci", "lsusb", "hwinfo", the kde / gnome hardware viewers...
[07:32] <MTecknology> Is there anybody around that could maybe help me with this error? I'm trying to log into Bongo that I just got running. http://paste.ubuntu.com/11228/
[07:32] <JDSBlueDevl> hold on, computer froze
[07:32] <drivetrax> (Hello, I got no sound, I reset gnome desktop.. where's my sound gone?) ehehe
[07:32] <Deepthought> vocx: yep, and offtopic it is... (usually I just close my eyes, but look every once in a while to keep my bearing, same with typing)
[07:32] <JDSBlueDevl> I'm using gnome-volume control
[07:32] <ogt> it's gotta be the the lsusb for usb
[07:33] <neno> hello
[07:33] <JDSBlueDevl> I am getting sound through my headphones, but that being said, at this setting it should be blasting my eardrums
[07:33] <vocx> Deepthought, my saa7134 card has worked xawtv but nothing else.
[07:33] <drivetrax> JDSBlueDevl,  be sure the tiny little x's under the sliders are set right on/mute
[07:33] <Deepthought> vocx: do you run hardy or gutsy ?
[07:33] <connor> hello everyone
[07:33] <ogt> hardy freaking rocks
[07:33] <MidgetSpy> drivetrax: it shows the "Ubuntu" and orange loading bar but as soon as it gets to the end it disappears and goes black forever :-|
[07:33] <JDSBlueDevl> hold on, still waiting for GNOME to lad up
[07:33] <connor> ya
[07:33] <JDSBlueDevl> *load
[07:33] <anolis> Radtoo^laptop, mm i will try that.. maybe i can find something..
[07:33] <Radit> ogt: why?
[07:33] <connor> i just got conky working :)
[07:34] <Radit> haha..
[07:34] <vocx> Deepthought, gutsy, this problem I've had since Edgy.
[07:34] <Deepthought> vocx: and have you tried kde tv ?  taht worked in gutsy with me too)
[07:34] <anolis> Radtoo^laptop, dunno what i will do with what i find though >_<
[07:34] <ogt> linux
[07:34] <JDSBlueDevl> only pc-speaker and microphone are set to mute
[07:34] <neno> ATI x1250 dont list under lspci after upgrade to 8.04 and update-pciids is downloading file from sourceforge when run, what i doing wrong ?
[07:34] <Deepthought> vocx: ok, so beware with hardy, I 'm not sure that hal-hanging at boot error has been fixed
[07:34] <leftyfb> Anyone know if it's possible to start the gnome-screensaver (gnome-screensaver-command -l) via ssh?
[07:34] <drivetrax> MidgetSpy,  - tried a virtual shell prompt yet?
[07:34]  * sjj wonders why Hardy installs with a _beta_ version of firefox
[07:35] <Deepthought> darkgrue, where are you ?   (nice rhyme)
[07:35] <vocx> Deepthought, I think I've tried it. But I don't know if some of those fancy apps use some DRI because I can only use software rendering.
[07:35] <ogt> EVERYWHERE
[07:35] <CGI437> webcliet bugged out
[07:35] <leftyfb> sjj: so as to not have to support FF2 for the next 3 years
[07:35] <CGI437> this is darkgrue
[07:35] <MidgetSpy> drivetrax: like CTRL+ALT+F#? yes nothing happens
[07:35] <pretender> problems with mytharchive hi def (digital) recordings not exporting to DVD properly.  DVD wont play.  mytharchive says something about unrecognised resolution.  How do i get hi def recordings to DVD
[07:35] <sjj> leftyfb, riiight, so instead ship with a version of software that isn't finished yet.
[07:35] <Deepthought> vocx: that s'c's, what vga ?
[07:35] <drivetrax> MidgetSpy,  what video card is it?
[07:36] <leftyfb> sjj: it'll be finished in a month, in which time you'll be updated to the newest version
[07:36] <Dr_willis> sjj,  no mater what they decided to do - people would be complaing about it.
[07:36] <sjj> leftyfb, what about firebug?
[07:36] <CaptainMorgan> how can I make a custom shortcut for an application like the Calculator?
[07:36] <leftyfb> sjj: what about it?
[07:36] <Dr_willis> if you want FF2, install FF2.
[07:36] <CaptainMorgan> I'm thinking.... Ctrl-Alt-C
[07:36] <vocx> Deepthought, VIA S3 unichrome Pro IGP, K8M800
[07:36] <MidgetSpy> drivetrax: Intel G35 onboard
[07:36] <sjj> Dr_willis, perhaps, but it would seem more logical if the default was firefox-2 and 3 was a separate package.
[07:36] <Deepthought> CGI437: so your nick changed ?   why ?   And remember to type the name of the person you' re talking to (do three letters and then <tab> , it will auto-complete)
[07:37] <sjj> leftyfb, doesn't support firefox3 AFAIK
[07:37] <MidgetSpy> Dr_willis    VendorName     "Panasonic"
[07:37] <MidgetSpy>     ModelName      "PANASONIC-TV"
[07:37] <MidgetSpy>     HorizSync       15.0 - 68.0
[07:37] <MidgetSpy>     VertRefresh     59.0 - 61.0
[07:37] <FloodBot1> MidgetSpy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:37] <leftyfb> sjj: and?
[07:37] <MidgetSpy> sorry accidental paste
[07:37] <Deepthought> vocx: is hat on the mobo ?
[07:37] <Dr_willis> sjj,  no matter what they did - poeople would complain.   I have no issues with FF3  - Use what you want.
[07:37] <Deepthought> that
[07:37] <neno> how can one update pci ids to get card x1250 detected?
[07:37] <drivetrax> MidgetSpy,  - possibly in the xorg.conf.. ya got messed up
[07:37] <vocx> Deepthought, yes
[07:37] <Deepthought> vocx: could it be there is no hardware-acc in the whole system ?
[07:37] <sjj> leftyfb, I see you have no issue with probably the most useful firefox plugin not working on that version.
[07:38] <MidgetSpy> drivetrax: well before I just installed and whatever it put in the default settings were perfect. This time, installed from the same CD but i don't know what changed. so I just want to reset it and let it auto-config again!
[07:38] <JDSBlueDevl> ok, got things working, don't know what happened, but actually the reboot helped
[07:38] <sjj> Dr_willis, I did, unfortunately ff3 and ff2 don't play nice together so I also have to perform a bunch of maintenance to get things back to normal after an upgrade to just get what _was_ working back
[07:38] <sjj> Dr_willis, I would expect an upgrade _not_ to break things.
[07:38] <neno> agree sjj
[07:39] <leftyfb> sjj: firebug is an addon. It has nothing to do with ubuntu or how it releases firefox. Ubuntu does not work around firebug's release cycle. And no, I have no issue with FF3 not working with an addon I have never used and have no intentions of using.
[07:39] <vocx> Deepthought, there is in Windows and it works in Linux with bugs. In one Ubuntu works in the next version it fails and so. So it is always better to turn it off. That way it won't just crash when you have a screensaver.
[07:39] <Dr_willis> sjj,  odd. FF2 and FF3 cause no conflicts here.
[07:39] <sjj> leftyfb, I see, it seems you are happy for an upgrade to break peoples software
[07:39] <leftyfb> sjj: go troll elsewhere
[07:39] <Deepthought> vocx: like the cool open-gl ones you mean ?
[07:39] <vocx> Deepthought, which reminds me, what's that Ctrl+key to get the screensaver and lock the computer?
[07:39] <Dr_willis> I have no idea what 'firebug' is,  so cant comment on that. I do use all my ff2 extensions in FF3.
[07:39] <leftyfb> FF2 and 3 work fine for me in Hardy
[07:39] <leftyfb> along with ALL my addons
[07:39] <leftyfb> for noth FF2 and FF3
[07:39] <sjj> leftyfb, well, im not actually here to troll ;) I'm wondering if there's  a 'standard' solution for returning to firefox-2 without the manual changes
[07:40] <Dr_willis> Theres a great many extensions that need updateing for FF3
[07:40] <leftyfb> If you're not happy, install FF2 or submit bug reports ... or *GASP* make your own OS
[07:40] <Deepthought> vocx: wouldn't know , I never lock it since I live alone and bear no secretz
[07:40] <sjj> Dr_willis, every time I start ff3 it disables all my ff2 plugins for some reason and then I have to re-install them.
[07:40] <leftyfb> sjj: sudo apt-get install firefox-2
[07:40] <sjj> leftyfb, _wrong_
[07:40] <leftyfb> right
[07:40] <leftyfb> it works fine for me
[07:40] <Dr_willis> sjj,  cant say that ive noticed that issue.
[07:40] <vocx> Deepthought, I don't know about the open-gls, since every time I tried a screensaver it would crash, I just don't use them anymore. It better than having to reboot 100 times just to test them.
[07:40] <Andycasss> I need to install a B43 open source driver for my broadcom 4311, but i have to net to fetch it with fwcutter. How to install the driver without net?
[07:40] <sjj> leftyfb, ok, so performing that step, what do _you_ think happens when I click on a link in my IM client?
[07:41] <Afflictedlife> =darkgrue had to download an irc client because the webclient i was using was lagging out on me
[07:41] <leftyfb> sjj: whichever browser you have set in your prefered software settings will open up
[07:41] <vocx> Deepthought, once I accidentally pressed that key combo, and the screensaver appeared so I just wanted to know.
[07:41] <sjj> leftyfb, right, and apt-get install firefox-2 doesn't change that
[07:41] <leftyfb> don't see why it would
[07:41] <Dr_willis> it shouldent be changing a USER setting anyway
[07:41] <leftyfb> go set it yourself
[07:41] <athreya> how to check whether my system is 64 bit or 32?
[07:41] <Rat409> sjj: firefox -ProfileManager create a separate one for ff3
[07:41] <sjj> leftyfb, so, your answer was incorrect
[07:42] <Flannel> sjj: Try changing sensible-browser and x-www-browser with update-alternatives
[07:42] <leftyfb> no, my answer is correct
[07:42] <vocx> Andycasss, you have net right now don't you? You probably can get the stuff you need and then transfer it to Ubuntu.
[07:42] <Deepthought> vocx: probably it's the open-GL savers that crash the sys, try the other ones in the screen-saver config, theay should just work; if youy don' t use randem-saver and stick to one you like it should be no prob
[07:42] <CaptainMorgan> how can I make a custom shortcut for an application like the Calculator?
[07:42] <CaptainMorgan> I'm thinking.... Ctrl-Alt-C
[07:42] <neno> anyone know how to get ati x1250 working in 8.04 ? after  upgrade from 7.10 it is listed as unknown device :/
[07:42] <sjj> leftyfb, returning to firefox-2 means returning to that being my standard browser, not just having the files necessary to run it if I want.
[07:42] <leftyfb> installing FF2 using sudo apt-get install firefox-2 works just fine to install firefox 2. I mentioned nothing of setting Firefox 2 as your default browser which a package is not supposed to mess with.
[07:42] <Andycasss> vocx: ofcourse i have net right now. I dont know which package to download.
[07:43] <leftyfb> sjj: you're going to complain either way
[07:43] <arooni-mobile> is there a tor alternative (or something that just hides my ip address with 1 layer of redirection)....... ?  if i have to pay for it .. it's no problem.  ideaz?
[07:43] <Deepthought> vocx: ever considxred getting a nice vga-card as an upgrade (probably tghe cheapest nvidia or ati would give better performance and none of those probs than the mobo-chip)
[07:43] <leftyfb> goodnight
[07:43] <zvacet> athreya : uname -a  if it is 64 you will see it
[07:43] <userlol> Hey ive got this bloody exim4 program that keeps starting up mysteriously from somewhere, becuase i removed this program some time ago and tried just now, but it still starts up when i boot up, listening to port 25, how do i remove this godam progra?
[07:43] <sjj> leftyfb, oh? it's not? but  all I did was apt-get dist-upgrade and _that_ changed my default browser.
[07:43] <Dr_willis> arooni-mobile,  theres a great many proxy services out you could use.
[07:43] <leftyfb> sjj: that's not installing A package
[07:43] <leftyfb> it's updating your OS to the latest
[07:44] <sjj> leftyfb, AFAIK that's just installng packages.
[07:44] <leftyfb> the latest uses FF3 as default
[07:44] <leftyfb> no, it's not
[07:44] <vocx> Deepthought, yes, but all of them are fancy 3D, at least that's what I recall. If there was a plain 2D screensaver I'd use it, I guess.  About cards, I won't upgrade the card just so my saver won't crash ha. Probably wait til 2010...
[07:44] <leftyfb> it's installing the latest version of ubuntu
[07:44] <leftyfb> which uses FF3 as default
[07:44] <arooni-mobile> Dr_willis, suggestions?   i need programtic access
[07:44] <sjj> leftyfb, apt-get is not ubuntu, it's a packaging system
[07:44] <leftyfb> you're an idiot
[07:44] <userlol> how does one remove exim4 PERMANENTLY from the computer??
[07:44] <pa> is it possible that my disk performances  suck becasuse i stopped some ubuntu service?
[07:44] <sjj> leftyfb, so it's using the pacakge  system to change my default browser
[07:44] <leftyfb> go back to gutsy if you don't like it
[07:45] <leftyfb> hell, go back to windows
[07:45] <pa> (stuff like dhcbd or avahi or so?)
[07:45] <Dr_willis> arooni-mobile,  no idea on what ones to use i dont need them.. and i got no idea what you mean by  'programtic access' Or why one would want to use those prox'ys anyway.
[07:45] <athreya> zvacet:Linux athreya-laptop 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[07:45] <sjj> leftyfb, i'm sure that would work ;)
[07:45] <opop> meh
[07:45]  * Dr_willis misses how every briowser in windows fights tobe the default browser.
[07:45] <zvacet> athreya :32 bit
[07:45] <opop> pa:  or perhaps hdparm?
[07:46]  * Pharos misses using kernels that are 8 years old
[07:46] <Rat409> lol
[07:46] <Pharos> ;)
[07:46] <neno> upgrade to 8.04 broke x1250 ati vga card, it shows as unknown device. any tips to fix this ? any help is appriciated
[07:46] <MidgetSpy> Hey guys my X session is screwed on my install but if I boot the LiveCD it works 100% perfectly. Which files do I need to copy from the LiveCD to my HD to make my install run exactly like the LiveCD?
[07:46] <zvacet> sjj : you upgraded to hardy and there is FF3
[07:46] <Deepthought> vocx: that makes sense, but a lot of other stuff benefits from a proper vga, like the tv-crd ?   anyway, there are a lot of savers that are noit 3d; all the ones marked open-GL are 3d, the other ones aren't, evn if they look three d, they don't use the accel (that is probably flawed on yer chip, or better on the linux driver for it); if tyou want more savers, there is a package with a whole bunch of them, most not 3d in the repos; can't
[07:46] <Deepthought> recall the name thoug
[07:46] <Deepthought> vocx: someting that will pop up in a search for screensaver
[07:47] <Flannel> whitty: What did you do to install it? and what did you do to remove it?
[07:47] <sjj> zvacet, yes, however, I had firefox 2 installed on gutsy and that was my default browser, I believe that changing that implicitly by upgrading is wrong.
[07:47] <pa> opop, actually i got sata drive
[07:47] <sjj> zvacet, however, I know that there's no point arguing about it, so i'm looking for the best solution for a fix, a few people have mentioned things which i'm checking out though
[07:47] <pa> so hdparm doesnt help much
[07:47] <Flannel> sjj: Does update-alternatives work?  Please stop arguing so we can concentrate on supporting you.
[07:48] <athreya> zvacet:"2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP"and "UTC 2008 i686 "  what they mean?
[07:48] <opop> mmkay
[07:48] <pa> so no service missing could cause that?
[07:48] <Pharos> everyone take a moment to reflect, and hug their tux. :)
[07:48] <sjj> Flannel, well, that will work to change my default browser, what about resetting the pixmaps for the icons, etc?
[07:49] <opop> meh.
[07:49] <opop> pa, what's the actual problem?
[07:49] <sarmisak> athreya, it's the cpu type and time zone
[07:49] <vocx> Deepthought, yep, well, my tv card is also a cheap one, so I'm cheap. So, maybe I'll just upgrade the whole package the next time.  I'm going with a silver case and what not.
[07:49] <userlol> i done apt-get remove exim4, and apparently its not installed, but the bloody thing is listening on port 25 and everytime i reboot, wtf??
[07:49] <anolis> how do i make my stylus be used as my mouse?
[07:49] <sarmisak> userlol, might it be sendmail?
[07:49] <zvacet> athreya : it means you are runing 32 bit ubuntu version
[07:50] <neno> after upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 x1250 got lost on lspci and it shows as ::: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 7196 . now what can i do to get real card name here.
[07:50] <Rat409> userlol: look in /etc/init.d  ?
[07:50] <opop> avahi is networking.  dhcbd has to do with networking
[07:50] <Flannel> sjj: Er, what?
[07:50] <opop> sorry, pa, see above
[07:50] <userlol> its in /etc/init.d but wtf is it still there after i ran apt-get remove exim4?
[07:51] <vocx> sjj, I think they explicitly changed the icons to integrate better with gnome. I don't have hardy, but is that really a problem. Got a picture?
[07:51] <userlol> and i dont want sendmail, i use evolution
[07:51] <opop> userlol, do an apt-get autoclean
[07:51] <sjj> Flannel, removing firefox-3 seems to have removed the associated pixmaps that ubuntu was using for the firefox icon, even though ff2 is installed
[07:51] <Flannel> userlol: I you installed exim4, you need to remove exim4-base to remove the functionality
[07:51] <sarmisak> userlol, your mind is confused
[07:51] <sarmisak> userlol, evolution is a mail reader
[07:51] <opop> exim4's a wrapper
[07:51] <sjj> Flannel/vocx: I can perform all of these steps manually and am aware how to do each one, i'm just wondering if there's something quicker available
[07:51] <Flannel> opop: metapackage
[07:51] <sarmisak> userlol, sendmail and exim are mtas
[07:51] <opop> dummy package
[07:51] <opop> yes.
[07:51] <opop> meh
[07:51] <userlol> sarmisak no im just an average user trying to make sense of this
[07:51] <opop> swat i meant
[07:52] <userlol> not a bloody computer programmer
[07:52] <userlol> im an end user
[07:52] <opop> end userlol
[07:52] <userlol> yes userlol
[07:52] <Flannel> userlol: remove the exim4-base package, and you'll be done
[07:52] <opop> tihi, get it.
[07:52] <vocx> sjj, nope sorry
[07:52] <sarmisak> userlol, Flannel is right, remove exim4-base
[07:52] <simtower> how do i log whats causing my machine to crash
[07:52] <sjj> vocx, ok, cheers.
[07:52] <SSilver2k> before i download the latest version, any idea if the current version of ubuntu fixed the errors with using generic usb gps devices and outputting nmea data to console?  version 6 had no problems, version 7 did
[07:52] <opop> anyway, evolution is a client.  that's what you want.  exim is a server.  not what you want.
[07:52] <opop> just like the dood sed
[07:53] <sarmisak> simtower, /var/log/syslog
[07:53] <userlol> ah ok, see that makes more sense to me
[07:53] <Flannel> sjj: you also may be interested in firefox-2-gnome-support
[07:53] <simtower> nuttin in dere sarmisak
[07:53] <sjj> Flannel, i'll check that out, thanks.
[07:53] <sarmisak> simtower, how is it crashing? what's wrong?
[07:53] <simtower> system becomes unresponsive and needs reboot
[07:54] <simtower> ssh and serial console dead
[07:54] <sarmisak> simtower: is this a server or a desktop?
[07:54] <Flannel> sjj: do you have an example file in regards to a pixmap that is missing?  They look like they're pretty well contained
[07:54] <simtower> a server
[07:54] <sarmisak> simtower: check your rams, had the same problem before, it just hangs
[07:54] <opop> mmmm  rams.
[07:55] <simtower> ok
