[12:00] <xXErnieXx> ladydoor, how do i use sudo
[12:01] <ladydoor> xXErnieXx: sudo commandname
[12:01] <eyequeue> tehsu, there will be a tarball under /usr/src/ you can unpack in $HOME
[12:01] <tehsu> eyequeue: right, but im getting .7 :-\
[12:01] <nozorro> DaJudge things are scrolling a bit fast in this channel for my gusto, but it's fun to help others out in real time
[12:01] <eyequeue> tehsu, okay, back up, let's start over
[12:01] <ladydoor> xXErnieXx: or if it's a graphikal application, <alt>f2 gksudo commandname <enter>
[12:01] <sethk> tehsu, which ubuntu version are you on?
[12:01] <tehsu> 6.06
[12:01] <eyequeue> tehsu, "sudo apt-get update" before anything!  then rerun things you already ran
[12:01] <sethk> tehsu, try doing an apt-get update
[12:01] <tehsu> eyequeue: i did that 10 times
[12:02] <xXErnieXx> ...
[12:02] <DaJudge> nozorro: thanks again.. looks like I was able to cobble a solution together with your help.
[12:02] <sethk> tehsu, once is enough
[12:02] <sethk> tehsu, what architecture?
[12:02] <longwave> tehsu: what is the output of "apt-cache show linux-source-2.6.15" then? put it in a pastebin
[12:02] <Chrisms> lognwave: is the .ima the image file?
[12:02] <tehsu> 686
[12:02] <longwave> Chrisms: yes
[12:02] <nozorro> DaJudge: welcome, and thanks for the tab hint
[12:02] <eyequeue> tehsu, the versions i mentioned are cirrent, hence if you sudo apt-get update, you should get them too
[12:02] <digitalhav0c> anyone know of any apps to change wireless netoworks other than wifi-radar
[12:02] <sethk> tehsu, odd
[12:02] <tehsu> lemme try again
[12:02] <dr_willis> !network-manager
[12:02] <ubotu> networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager
[12:02] <ompaul> tehsu, did you do it as >>  sudo apt-get update << ?
[12:02] <lostinc> Is there a better way to manage fonts other than just installing them?
[12:02] <Chrisms> lgonwave: that are the.htm's for?
[12:02] <azcazandco> ladydoor: I am getting an invalid user issue
[12:03] <longwave> Chrisms: basic documentation in three languages, the _e one is english
[12:03] <Chrisms> ahh okay
[12:03] <azcazandco> when doing sudochown/media/newhomeyourusername:yourusername
[12:03] <tehsu> i think it worked this time it showed .26.46
[12:03] <lostinc> digitalhave0c I sent you a message with that info
[12:03] <mikey> eyequeue: I just installed kernel 2.6.12 on dapper, but I don't have any harddrives or cdroms in dev, so I assume it's udev, do you know how I'd fix?
[12:03] <Chrisms> i figured. but wasn't sure, didn't want to open while rawrite was writing incase
[12:03] <grimboy> Can anyone tell me how I reset the dns cache (on a client machine)? I've tried /etc/init.d/nscd restart but I think that's for dns servers.
[12:03] <Chrisms> okay. lets try this. brb
[12:03] <ladydoor> azcazandco: ok, try this:  adduser <yourfavoriteusername> (w/o the <>)
[12:03] <dr_willis> grimboy,  ya tried googling for an  answer yet?
[12:03] <ladydoor> azcazandco: and with sudo
[12:04] <tehsu> any of yall done the vcore patch on the kernel?
[12:04] <sethk> grimboy, in general clients don't do dns caching
[12:04] <eyequeue> mikey, no
[12:04] <bbrazil> grimboy: there isn't one by default
[12:04] <Alex> azcazandco: It's in the wrong order - chown yourusername:yourusername /media/newhome
[12:04] <mikey> Oka. Thanks
[12:04] <grimboy> sethk, Ah.
[12:04] <dr_willis> sethk,  i was about to sa that also.. :)
[12:04] <eclipse_> heyo.....anyone know a good D++ hub to run on ubuntu?
[12:04] <bob777> Hi what is the equivalent of smbmount now please?
[12:04] <Alex> bob777: mount -t smbfs (or smb?)
[12:04] <dr_willis> smbmnt
[12:04] <grimboy> Probably just need to wait until changes reach me then, sorry.
[12:04] <lostinc> gtg
[12:05] <ladydoor> Alex: right. that's what i said. it's jsut that zie's on the livecd
[12:05] <Chrisms> longwave: IT WORKED! thank you SO much!
[12:05] <longwave> Chrisms: glad to help :)
[12:05] <Alex> ladydoor: ?
[12:05] <Cojawfee> Hello
[12:05] <Alex> ladydoor: 23:03:18 < azcazandco> when doing sudochown/media/newhomeyourusername:yourusername
[12:05] <ladydoor> Alex: oh, nm, you're right
[12:05] <Alex> ladydoor: wrong order.
[12:05] <Alex> :)
[12:05] <ladydoor> lol
[12:05] <ladydoor> me stoopid
[12:05] <Alex> Nar :p
[12:06] <azcazandco> cp -a /media/home/home /media/newhome
[12:06] <azcazandco> cp: cannot create directory `/media/newhome/home': Permission denied
[12:06] <azcazandco> should I sudo?
[12:06] <dr_willis> make the directory first..
[12:06] <jacques> yes you should
[12:06] <jacques> sorry wrong window
[12:06] <jazzrocker> how can I set up ESD to use the custom OSS driver in my kernel?
[12:07] <jazzrocker> it's not regular OSS is the commercial version from 4front
[12:07] <dr_willis> jazzrocker,  wow - that thing still is being updated? :P
[12:07] <eclipse_> anyone know a good D++ hub to run on ubuntu?
[12:07] <dr_willis> ok.. WHAT is a D++ hub?
[12:07] <jazzrocker> dr_willis, not sure what you're talking about. but whether or not it's updated has nothing to do with whether the 4Front OSS driver is the only one that'll run my card :(
[12:08] <eclipse_> D++ is a sharing program that uses hubs.....im trying to switch my campus to use D++
[12:08] <bob777> alex_: nope mount -t smbfs returns me a weird error message
[12:08] <nlitement> DC++?
[12:08] <eclipse_> and i need to set up a HUB
[12:08] <Alex> bob777: Please, tell us that error message..
[12:08] <nlitement> DC++?
[12:08] <dr_willis> jazzrocker,  last i even heard about 4front was years ago. :P for my Creative card.   If they have never updated the stuff for the 2.6 kernels - it will be an issue.
[12:08] <eclipse_> D++
[12:08] <ucordes> direct connect?
[12:09] <nlitement> still, direct connect.. there are many clients for that
[12:09] <jazzrocker> dr_willis, what will be an issue. sound works fine.
[12:09] <eclipse_> i dont want a client
[12:09] <ucordes> yea
[12:09] <azcazandco> ladydoor: am copying to newhome under sudo
[12:09] <eclipse_> i want a Hub program
[12:09] <jazzrocker> dr_willis, i've got amarok jammin and GAIM uses sounds
[12:09] <Goblin> hallo, has GNOME anything similiar to Krusader? Thanks
[12:09] <nlitement> use Yoshi or something
[12:09] <nlitement> it's a server
[12:09] <eclipse_> a client connects to a hub
[12:09] <azcazandco> i am assuming I can do a chown later
[12:09] <dr_willis> jazzrocker,  You just said it dident.. -  or else youve managed to totally confuse me.. :)
[12:09] <kyozabe> Hey, guys; I haven't used Ubuntu (dapper) in a while, and recently updated it. I no longer hear any sound while viewing videos on Youtube in Firefox.
[12:09] <nozorro> Goblin, waht is Krusader?
[12:09] <nlitement> eclipse_: I referred to your way of describing direct connect as "D++"
[12:09] <jazzrocker> dr_willis, maybe you should read what i actually said
[12:09] <dr_willis> jazzrocker,  i got a headache now.. :P
[12:09] <jazzrocker> dr_willis, re*

[12:10] <volvoguy> probably been asked a million times today (but not mentioned in the channel topic), but is knot-2 still coming out today?
[12:10] <nlitement> google for "Yoshi" and "hub" (together)
[12:10] <kyozabe> could someone please tell me how to get sound working again?
[12:10] <jacques> dr_willis: i'm comming right with the nview slowly but surely. I just want to ask to selct a analogue monitor under device you selct 'crt' and for a LCD monitor you select 'dfp'.what do you select for the s-video out on the card
[12:10] <jazzrocker> i don't need codecs
[12:10] <jazzrocker> i've got those too
[12:10] <dr_willis> Theres a control panel applet that selects some default media sound system.  But i cant rember the bot ! for it.
[12:10] <Goblin> nozorro: http://krusader.sourceforge.net/
[12:10] <eclipse_> i thought ynhub didnt run on ubuntu tho
[12:10] <jazzrocker> kyozabe, what'd you do to make it stop working?
[12:10] <kyozabe> nothing, it seems
[12:10] <dr_willis> jacques, i did that once.. :P
[12:10] <jazzrocker> dr_willis, i have that but no cards show up in the list
[12:10] <kyozabe> I haven't touched ubuntu in months
[12:11] <kyozabe> updated it last night
[12:11] <kyozabe> torrented a few videos, which play fine
[12:11] <kyozabe> but youtube is mute now
[12:11] <eclipse_> nlitement: YnHub will work on ubuntu?
[12:11] <ladydoor> azcazandco: how's it going?
[12:11] <nozorro> Goblin: maybe you can find something similar on http://www.gnomefiles.org/
[12:11] <kyozabe> I remember torrents somehow having the same muting effect on youtube if I try to watch one while downloaidng
[12:11] <kyozabe> downloading*
[12:12] <azcazandco> still copying
[12:12] <kyozabe> but bittornado isn't even running right now
[12:12] <azcazandco> about 50gb to copy
[12:12] <azcazandco> hence the reason I didnt want to backup to dvd
[12:12] <nozorro> Goblin: i think there are 1 or 2 apps like that, but i don't remember exactly right now
[12:12] <azcazandco> my lacie drive stopped working last week so I have stripped it out the casing but havent plugged it in yet
[12:12] <jacques> dr_willis: can you remember how
[12:13] <azcazandco> is a 250gb drive
[12:13] <dr_willis> jacques, check the Nvidia homepage and the linux docs for their driver. it mentions it.
[12:13] <azcazandco> figured i would try it internally but dont know how sata and ide work together
[12:13] <jazzrocker> anyone happen to know where the default beeps/sounds for KDE/GNOME live?
[12:13] <jazzrocker> /usr/share/sounds has nothing
[12:13] <kyozabe> jazzrocker: any suggestions?
[12:14] <jazzrocker> kyozabe, reboot?
[12:14] <jacques> dr_willis: will look there again but can't remember see it there last night. thanx
[12:14] <dr_willis> jacques,  looking at -> http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-8774/README/index.html  right now
[12:14] <ladydoor> azcazandco: sweet. well, when you get to the partitioning, basically just manually partition, overwrite your original partition, and tell it to use your new /home as /home and your old swap as swap. i'll hopefully be back before then, but if not just ask the channel for any help on manual partitioning.
[12:14] <kyozabe> I've rebooted several times
[12:14] <kyozabe> anything else? :/
[12:15] <dr_willis> jacques,  Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"   Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
[12:15] <longwave> Goblin: did you look at gnome-commander? it is in the universe repository
[12:15] <azcazandco> ladydoor: thanks
[12:15] <Goblin> longwave: I take a look, thanks a lot
[12:16] <jazzrocker> esd isn't actually even running right now
[12:16] <jazzrocker> even though "enable sound system" is checked in GNOME
[12:16] <jazzrocker> does gnome not use ESD anymore?
[12:16] <dr_willis> jacques,   http://mysite.verizon.net/kraussa/nvidia_linux_tv_out.html   has some examples.
[12:17] <tewtewfs> KTHX
[12:18] <minimec> jazzrocker: Hmm... Is it installed by default? At least in Debian esd is not installed by default
[12:18] <Allz-i-> hello i just did a rapp lyric i need something -i mean i need a backsound is there a program?
[12:18] <Allz-i-> PLEASE help me
[12:18] <jazzrocker> minimec, so wtf does gnome use for the sound system and where/how do i configure it by hand cuz the GUI sucks
[12:19] <jazzrocker> google for ubuntu esound turns up nothing useful
[12:19] <jazzrocker> and the manual on esound.org is crap
[12:19] <Allz-i-> i know that
[12:19] <eyequeue> !language
[12:19] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:20] <Allz-i-> !language
[12:20] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:20] <minimec> jazzrocker: it uses alsa. the esd module is a kind of sound server. Try 'sudo apt-get install esd'
[12:20] <jazzrocker> minimec, so how do i configure gnome to not use alsa and use OSS instead
[12:20] <A[D] minS> Nighty all
[12:21] <minimec> jazzrocker: use alsa in combination with esd.
[12:21] <jazzrocker> minimec, ummmm
[12:21] <nozorro> jazzrocker: configuration from the gui didn't work for you?
[12:21] <minimec> jazzrocker: why can't you use alsa?
[12:21] <jazzrocker> nozorro, i guess yall missed my original question by now
[12:22] <nozorro> jazzrocker: maybe
[12:22] <jazzrocker> nozorro, apparently :P
[12:22] <jazzrocker> scroll up or i can repeat if you like
[12:23] <jazzrocker> the 4Front OSS driver is completely non-compatible with ALSA last i checked
[12:24] <kyozabe> so er
[12:24] <kyozabe> acronyms count as bad language?
[12:24] <jazzrocker> i plan to get a diff sound card soon, but the one i need is $$$ and it will take time. the one I have i bought on good faith that since it had the right chipset that the default alsa drivers would work but i happened to get the ONE card that was crappy out of all their good ones
[12:24] <minimec> jazzrocker: I don't know if 'esd' handels OSS. I don't think so.
[12:24] <kyozabe> what if one is referring to the PSP game Work Time Fun?
[12:24] <omnid> I'm in serious trouble with my ubuntu installation
[12:24] <TheGame> what up omnid
[12:24] <jazzrocker> minimec, well does gnome use esd or not? if not then that doesn't matter.
[12:25] <omnid> TheGame supposedly my root is being 'checked'
[12:25] <nozorro> jazzrocker: gnome does use esd
[12:25] <TheGame> what do u mean
[12:25] <omnid> and it keeps saying there are duplicate blocks
[12:25] <TheGame> hmm
[12:25] <jazzrocker> i looked up OSS emulation with ALSA but the 4Front drivers are closed source and don't work with any sort of ALSA emulation
[12:25] <TheGame> ive never heard of that problem
[12:25] <jazzrocker> nozorro, ok that's what i thought. esd isn't running right now that i can see
[12:25] <omnid> So it runs this check where it tries to repair them
[12:25] <omnid> but fails
[12:25] <TheGame> oh
[12:25] <jazzrocker> nozorro, i ps grepped for esd and esound but nothing
[12:25] <TheGame> maybe there is a problem with ur hd
[12:25] <omnid> I fear so
[12:26] <jazzrocker> nozorro, the esound manual is useless lol
[12:26] <jazzrocker> nozorro, do you have any idea how to configure gnome to use OSS instead of alsa?
[12:26] <nozorro> jazzrocker: can you see your OSS device in the mixer (volume-control)?
[12:26] <minimec> jazzrocker: You can use alsa or OSS with gnome, but if you use OSS, esd will probably not work. But you will have sound. You just won't be able to listen to a CD and watch a Movie at the same time. ;)
[12:27] <omnid> It's telling me to do a manual 'fsck' what is that?
[12:27] <azcazandco> man I thought sata drives were supposed to be fast
[12:27] <jazzrocker> nozorro, i actually do not have such an item
[12:27] <minimec> jazzrocker: esd is a sound server that handels different 'sound-streams' ...
[12:28] <azcazandco> ah crap
[12:28] <brooklyn> is there a program available for ubuntu/linux to download mp3's etc?
[12:28] <azcazandco> I know what I have done wrong
[12:28] <jazzrocker> minimec, actually the 4Front driver for my card provides a number of /dev/dsp devices to use as a primitive mixer
[12:28] <azcazandco> how do I stop a copy
[12:28] <jazzrocker> so that's not really a problem
[12:28] <jazzrocker> nozorro, i mean i don't have a mixer or volume-control anywhere that i can see in my menus
[12:28] <minimec> jazzrocker: So you have sound...
[12:28] <jazzrocker> minimec, yes indeed
[12:28] <jazzrocker> minimec, gaim and amarok both
[12:29] <merch> omnid: unmount fs and do fsck -f /dev/hda1 or wherever your fs is.
[12:29] <TheGame> anybody here use rhythmbox
[12:29] <nozorro> jazzrocker: so that only seems to confirm that hardware autoconfig didn't work for your card ... or can you start gnome-volume-control manually?
[12:29] <minimec> jazzrocker: ok. but you would like to have the gaim sounds, while listening to a CD :_)
[12:29] <jazzrocker> TheGame, amarok > rhythmbox
[12:29] <omnid> It says sda1 I think
[12:29] <TheGame> i dont like amarok
[12:29] <azcazandco> can I quit a copy process anyone?
[12:29] <TheGame> it doesnt pick up all my songs from th elibrary
[12:29] <jazzrocker> nozorro, lemme see... oh yeah i guarantee hardware autoconfig didn't work for my card
[12:30] <TheGame> while rhythmbox does
[12:30] <omnid> merch how do I unmount? What is the command to unmount?
[12:30] <TheGame> like i have 4200 songs but amarok only detects 3900
[12:30] <omnid> Also what is fs
[12:30] <tehsu> is it possible to change the core clock in ubuntu?
[12:30] <omnid> filesystem oh
[12:30] <minimec> omnid: umount
[12:30] <tehsu> the graphics core clock
[12:30] <merch> omnid: If it's your root partition, might be easier to boot with livecd, mount sda1, and then run fsck
[12:30] <jazzrocker> nozorro, gnome-volume-control quits out with a message about GStreamer plugins and this "ALSA lib confmisc.c:672:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'"
[12:30] <omnid> Allright I will try that
[12:30] <jazzrocker> nozorro, which given that i don't have any ALSA cards installed... makes sense
[12:31] <omnid> I'll go into the boot live CD now
[12:31] <matthew_w> Hey, for some reason when I run a sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev it gives me errors regarding dependencies libpango and libcairo which are "not going to be installed" then fails.  .... Why?
[12:31] <TheGame> jazzrocker: do u know why amarok doesnt detect all my music
[12:31] <TheGame> can it not play m4a/
[12:31] <jazzrocker> TheGame, it won't detect wma files i don't think
[12:32] <TheGame> i dont have wma
[12:32] <jazzrocker> TheGame, yeah and probably not m4a either
[12:32] <TheGame> only mp3 and m4a
[12:32] <TheGame> thats gay
[12:32] <TheGame> is there a plugin
[12:32] <jazzrocker> TheGame, yeah there is probably a plugin for it though.
[12:32] <jazzrocker> !language
[12:32] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:32] <TheGame> ill check it out
[12:32] <brooklyn> or is there not a peer2peer downloading program for linux?
[12:32] <ucordes> who is gay?
[12:33] <dr_willis> brooklyn,  several dozen of them
[12:33] <minimec> TheGame: HAve a look at the easyubuntu Homepage ;)
[12:33] <jazzrocker> you only show your own ignorance and insecurity with homophobic remarks
[12:33] <dr_willis> brooklyn,  depends on the network ya want to use.
[12:33] <kyozabe> apparently, a program, ucordes
[12:33] <matthew_w> Is there some problem with the repositories, or... is it in testing?
[12:33] <dr_willis> !p2p
[12:33] <ubotu> Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network). BitTorrent: see !torrent Direct connect: try valknut
[12:33] <TheGame> why minimec
[12:33] <brooklyn> dr_willis: just something good to download a few older songs with, have any suggestions?
[12:33] <ucordes> brooklyn, what kind of files are you looking for?
[12:33] <brooklyn> just something to find old music
[12:33] <dr_willis> brooklyn,  frostwire
[12:33] <jazzrocker> TheGame, easyubuntu is a way to install some commonly needed/wanted things like codecs
[12:33] <kyozabe> jazzrocker, you can't expect much more from someone named after a mediocre mainstream rapper
[12:33] <ucordes> try out gtk-gnutella
[12:34] <minimec> TheGame: easyubuntu gives you a way to install all possible decoders for linux...
[12:34] <brooklyn> dr_willis: available in synaptic? :)
[12:34] <longwave> matthew_w: have you installed any extra xgl packages or anything like that? there was someone in here yesterday with similar problems with libgtk2.0-dev and i think it turned out to be due to that
[12:34] <jazzrocker> TheGame, if you're an advanced user you may not need it... everything should be available somewhere in the repos
[12:34] <jazzrocker> TheGame, #easyubuntu
[12:34] <matthew_w> longwave; yea, I have xgl-compiz and whatnot
[12:34] <jazzrocker> kyozabe, ahhh i wasn't aware of the reference
[12:34] <LRushing> brooklyn: there are a couple of bittorent clients avail
[12:34] <ucordes> brooklyn: for single tracks i can suggest gnutella network
[12:34] <TheGame> i think i can get the decoder myself
[12:34] <matthew_w> longwave; is there something I can do about it?
[12:34] <tehsu> anyone here running ati mobility?
[12:35] <brooklyn> ucordes: ty, ill give it a shot.
[12:35] <ucordes> tehsu: me
[12:35] <longwave> matthew_w: the problem is that xgl/compiz has installed different versions of libraries that libgtk2.0-dev expects. you can try removing xgl, installing the dev library then reinstalling xgl; i am not sure how the person fixed it yesterday
[12:35] <ucordes> dr_willis: what network is frost wire?
[12:35] <matthew_w> longwave: so... sudo apt-get remove xgl or so?
[12:35] <jazzrocker> ucordes, gnutella
[12:35] <ucordes> ic
[12:35] <arsalan> any yahoo messenger for ubuntu?
[12:36] <jazzrocker> arsalan, gaim
[12:36] <longwave> matthew_w: depends how you installed xgl in the first place. #ubuntu-xgl may be able to help, too
[12:36] <Linuturk> arsalan, yes, gaim
[12:36] <matthew_w> Thanks
[12:36] <tehsu> ucordes: figure out low voltage yet?
[12:36] <arsalan> I used gaim but unable to see offline contacts in it..
[12:36] <ucordes> tehsu: you mean like powerplay in windows?
[12:36] <tehsu> yeah
[12:36] <tehsu> i finally got it :D
[12:36] <dr_willis> ucordes,  ubotu said. :P
[12:37] <dr_willis> !p2p
[12:37] <ubotu> Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network). BitTorrent: see !torrent Direct connect: try valknut
[12:37] <Linuturk> arsalan, go to the Buddies Menu and check the selection saying, Show Offline Buddies
[12:37] <dr_willis> Gnutella Network
[12:37] <tehsu> ucordes: i wanna make it so its sets like that in the xorg.conf
[12:37] <jazzrocker> torrent > gnutella these days
[12:37] <dr_willis> depends on what you are looking for. :)
[12:37] <jazzrocker> gnutella and donkey have disappointed me as of late
[12:38] <ucordes> tehsu: i will try my luck with google
[12:38] <TheGame> i think in amarok 1.4 they added m4a support
[12:38] <brooklyn> Ucordes: any idea where once a music file is downloaded in gnutella where it is saved?
[12:39] <tehsu> ucordes: i got the power stuff its aticonfig --set-powerstate=1
[12:39] <ucordes> /home/yourusername/gtk-gnutella afaik
[12:39] <djon> problme configuration gtk+ qq peut t'il m'aider?
[12:39] <Mikey> Bleh. Anyone knowledgable on downgrading my kernel in dapper?  What does beer have to do with not paying for software?
[12:40] <tehsu> ucordes: i wanna set it so at boot this setting is set
[12:41] <ucordes> ic. so aticonfig doesn't save anything?
[12:41] <dr_willis> PowerCat,  free as in 'freedom of speech' vs . 'free' as in 'free handouts'
[12:41] <tehsu> ucordes: i dunno if it saves that, of course i can test it as soon as my new kernel is finished
[12:41] <brooklyn> is there any certain programs/files i need in order to play downloaded mp3s?
[12:41] <dr_willis> !mp3

[12:42] <TheGame> how do i make amarok like xmms
[12:42] <lgc> Hello all from Mexico! Please help me configure my locale...
[12:42] <ucordes> ok good luck den. one question. what exactly does --set-powerstate=1 set?  the voltage?
[12:42] <PowerCat> So free as in beer means that they say the meanining of the word free is as in "free handout"?
[12:43] <tehsu> ucordes: i went from 100% to 20% in an hour because of the cpu usage and ati  using so much power
[12:43] <dr_willis> TheGame,  - ok.. thats the vaguest question today. so far. :)
[12:43] <caminomaster> hi
[12:43] <TheGame> haha
[12:43] <TheGame> amarok has two modes
[12:43] <caminomaster> who can help me with a sound problem?
[12:43] <TheGame> it can look like itunes
[12:43] <TheGame> or like xmms
[12:43] <dr_willis> PowerCat,  yep.. thers lots of web site that discuss the nuances of the GPL.
[12:43] <TheGame> and right now it looks like ituns but i dont like it
[12:43] <caminomaster> volume control don't function
[12:44] <justin420> hi all. anybody help or point me in the direction of a good howto on using umask to control ONLY certain users reading/writing/exec certain dir's or mount points?
[12:44] <ucordes> my acer is empty very quick too with standart settings
[12:44] <ompaul> PowerCat, this is more an issue for #ubuntu-offtopic as it is not strictly a ubuntu support question
[12:44] <dr_willis> TheGame,  see if it has some help docs?  :) or some theme menu items? I just keep my players minimized to the little task-tray
[12:44] <ucordes> tehsu @
[12:44] <tehsu> ucordes: yeah im trying to get it like windows for the power saving
[12:44] <dr_willis> justin420,  i dont think umask is wha tya want.. unless you start using 'groups' for that stuff.
[12:44] <tehsu> ive got the ati low volting down now
[12:45] <tehsu> just waiting on the new kernel so i can test cpu low voltage
[12:45] <ucordes> tehsu: you thought about making a small script and set it into the startup, so your ati settings are loaded automatically on boot?
[12:45] <ucordes> i don
[12:45] <lgc> What about setting the locale? I'm tired of unreadable characters on my screen! Anyone?
[12:45] <PowerCat> thanks dr_willis for giving me technical support :P
[12:45] <ucordes> sorry. i don't know how to but this would be a nice solution for your problem
[12:45] <ENE|Toxic> How can I change default shell to /bin/bash?
[12:46] <justin420> dr_willis: maybe not, i tried stfw; and it seemed to me as that is what i should use, but probably not.  I have a NAS drive, and would like fstab to automatically mount the shares and each user can only view their own share, with one exception of one of the shares being shared by all. that includes reading, writing and exec.
[12:46] <lady_15> hola
[12:46] <lgc> ENE|Toxic, have you tried messing with /etc/passwd?
[12:46] <TheGame> is there a way to use amarok without playlists
[12:46] <tehsu> ucordes: i will try it after i get everything working
[12:46] <TheGame> like i want to click on a song in my collection and play it
[12:46] <lgc> lady_15 hola.
[12:47] <tehsu> ucordes: i know i have to use bum
[12:47] <ucordes> tehsu: bum :-) ? what's bum?
[12:47] <tehsu> ucordes: boot up manager
[12:47] <ENE|Toxic> lgc: nah, my personal computer works fine and all. It's that at work shell is default set to tsch, in which I prefer bash, and was thinking if there was a neat way to change it.
[12:47] <TheGame> i want amarok to be like rythmbox except i dont want it to crash as much
[12:47] <ucordes> oh ok
[12:48] <ucordes> oh rythmbox never crashed here. and i got like 60gig of albums in it
[12:48] <tehsu> ucordes: whats ur laptop run at when loaded with stuff
[12:48] <lgc> ENE|Toxic, that's the only one I know, but that doesn't mean much, though.
[12:48] <ucordes> you are doing something wrong with it, TheGame
[12:48] <tehsu> ucordes: temp wise
[12:48] <ENE|Toxic> lgc: ok thanks anyway
[12:48] <tehsu> ucordes: acpi -t << to check
[12:48] <TheGame> how cani be doing something wrong in it

[12:49] <TheGame> and see if u get any errors
[12:49] <zerojakel> how i configure a tv terminator?
[12:49] <dr_willis> ENE|Toxic,  use the chsh command

[01:00] <ucordes> tehsu: ok thanks
[01:00] <Mikey> moustafa, You use 2.6.12 with Dapper?
[01:00] <skarface> brooklyn: because it's debian
[01:00] <moustafa> yes
[01:01] <moustafa> yes Mikey
[01:01] <brooklyn> skarface: i figured... but i thought it would list it as ubuntu =P
[01:01] <skarface> ;)
[01:01] <Mikey> Did you upgrade from breezy to dapper, or just install it on dapper?
[01:01] <tehsu> ucordes: ever low volt ur cpu in ubuntu?

[01:03] <zebedee> Hey I just replied on artwork to say thanks, so thanks :-)
[01:03] <kyozabe> oh
[01:03] <skarface> nozorro: probably java chat, meaning he doesn't have the browser plugin
[01:03] <Mikey> Er
[01:03] <Mikey> No problem moustafa
[01:03] <kyozabe> I'm using irssi over ssh, so I didn't see the msg notification
[01:03] <nozorro> skarface: oops
[01:04] <bonZiiii> zebedee: r u from the art team?
[01:04] <kyozabe> I know about sudo
[01:04] <eyequeue> kyozabe, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[01:04] <kyozabe> it doesn't seem to be working, though
[01:04] <ucordes> is there any GUI to set acpi settings?
[01:04] <kyozabe> nevermind
[01:04] <eyequeue> kyozabe, we don't do root in ubuntu
[01:04] <sean> !sun

[01:06] <zebedee> No I have installed ubuntu over windows and got lost, found my way here, well actually on the art channel, I was looking for help... You guys type so fast!! :-)
[01:06] <ladydoor> azcazandco: i'm back
[01:06] <kyozabe> well
[01:06] <kyozabe> uh, how do you paste things from the clipboard ino irssi?
[01:07] <kyozabe> into*
[01:07] <kyozabe> ctrl + v doesn't work, and there's no menu on right click
[01:07] <volvoguy> zebedee, this is the place to ask! i would have helped you in the art channel but I don't use evolution myself. :)
[01:07] <sean> Hi I was wondering if there was a way to setup my mozlla easier.... Doesnt anyone know if there is a complete 'media install package'  for plug-ins  like: flash, quicktime, java etc.. ???
[01:07] <zebedee> Evolution keeps tellin me I cant send messages cos I have a broken pipe, i have no idea what this means, or how to fix it ??
[01:07] <eyequeue> kyozabe, no idea about a "clipboard" but i use screen(1) for my pastes (and always with irssi)
[01:07] <BHSPitMonkey> kyozabe, try clicking both mouse buttons at the same time on the terminal
[01:07] <nikin> Shift Insert will do the paste
[01:08] <habeeb> Greetings. In python, how can I ask the user of the program to define a variable?
[01:08] <ompaul> kyja, highlight the text you want with right click and drag to highlight and use middle button to paste
[01:08] <BHSPitMonkey> habeeb, a python-related channel would be more appropriate (and more effective in answering your question, probably)
[01:08] <brendonjt> hello  all
[01:08] <habeeb> BHSPitMonkey: ye, but #ubuntu was the first that flashed in my mind :P
[01:08] <kyozabe> or not, nikin :(
[01:08] <ompaul> habeeb, have a look in #python
[01:09] <habeeb> ok
[01:09] <PsychOtiC> I am running an apache2 server, and ircd-hybrid server
[01:09] <letsgfuad> anyone know how to get my external hd to work?
[01:09] <nikin> but the paste depends on the termminal you are using
[01:09] <brooklyn> can anyone direct me to a program that will let me play .mpg files?
[01:09] <PsychOtiC> when I try to connect to them over my ip it says connection refused
[01:09] <PsychOtiC> and no firewall is running
[01:09] <BHSPitMonkey> letsgfuad, given more details about your problem, I'm sire one of us could help
[01:09] <eyequeue> !mp3 > brooklyn
[01:09] <PsychOtiC> and netstat says it is listening on all ports
[01:09] <kyozabe> by clipboard I mean copy and paste
[01:09] <PsychOtiC> how do i fix it?
[01:09] <kyozabe> ctrl + c and ctrl + v respectively
[01:10] <kyozabe> and I'm running irssi in screen over SSH
[01:10] <BHSPitMonkey> brooklyn, look at that link from ubotu, but also look at the program vlc (available in the repos)
[01:10] <overshard> How do i open up an iptables port using terminal?
[01:10] <eyequeue> kyozabe, screen(1) does that for me in irssi
[01:10] <nozorro> kyozabe: pasting with middle button doesn't work?
[01:10] <kyozabe> btw, clicking both buttons didn't work
[01:10] <sethk> overshard, you edit the configuration files
[01:10] <eyequeue> kyozabe, ^A[ and ^A]   then
[01:10] <overshard> sethk, where are they
[01:10] <sethk> overshard, let me look
[01:10] <kyozabe> I think that only works with things copied from within irssi
[01:11] <kyozabe> screw it, I'll tinyurl the link
[01:11] <PsychOtiC> I am running an apache2 server, and ircd-hybrid server; when I try to connect to them over my ip it says connection refused; and netstat says it is listening on all port. How do I make sure ports 6667 and 80 are open, and that nothing is refusing connections
[01:11] <eyequeue> kyozabe, no, anywhere within screen
[01:11] <TheGame> any1 wanna look at this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22193
[01:11] <kyozabe> yeah, within screen
[01:11] <help> does any of you know any programs or what so every so i can start creating projects using the c++ code
[01:11] <kyozabe> firefox isn't within screen :p
[01:11] <eyequeue> kyozabe, eww, lynx rocks:)
[01:12] <kyozabe> http://tinyurl.com/msvpy = Youtube sound fix for Firefox
[01:12] <eyequeue> kyozabe, but yes. no gui apps
[01:12] <sethk> overshard, docs are at:  http://www.netfilter.org/.
[01:12] <kyozabe> I'm sure it rocks as hard as any program being run in a terminal can
[01:12] <overshard> sethk, i just want to know how to open up a single port -_-
[01:12] <kyozabe> which is not very much at all
[01:13] <kyozabe> not very hard at all, that is
[01:13] <eyequeue> kyozabe, i prefer it in console, no need for x to run at all, but okay
[01:13] <kyozabe> why not run X?
[01:13] <sethk> overshard, you use the iptables command.
[01:13] <kyozabe> I run aiglx myself
[01:13] <eyequeue> kyozabe, bloat
[01:13] <kyozabe> it's beautiful on my laptop
[01:13] <kyozabe> what's wrong with that?
[01:13] <sethk> overshard, you list rules with -L, and you can delete a chain and then add a chain (in olther words, modify a chain)
[01:13] <kyozabe> if you've got it, use it
[01:14] <sean> Hi I was wondering if there was a way to setup my mozlla easier.... Doesnt anyone know if there is a complete 'media install package'  for plug-ins  like: flash, quicktime, java etc.. ???
[01:14] <overshard> sethk, er ok
[01:14] <eyequeue> kyozabe, why pay for hardware that's not needed, i say ;)
[01:14] <kyozabe> and I'm 70% sure you can't properly view porn in lynx
[01:14] <Jamminpotato> you can see some porn

[01:16] <brendonjt> sean:  sudo update-alternatives --config java for configure ff to use that java
[01:16] <ucordes> no GUI for acpi settings out there? since some ppl have to change them often it could be very useful..
[01:16] <ispiked> eyequeue: yeah...
[01:16] <eyequeue> ispiked, us does seem down here too, sigh
[01:17] <brendonjt> sean: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, sudo update-flashplugin  for flash plugin
[01:17] <azcazandco> ladydoor: you about still?
[01:17] <ladydoor> azcazandco: now i am

[01:17] <nekoz> would anyone have a xorg.conf that they could post somewhere that uses nvidia vid card and both monitors are independant in resolution etc ???
[01:18] <nekoz> im having a bear of a time getting that to work
[01:18] <sean> thank you brendon
[01:18] <ispiked> eyequeue: yeah, uk's good. thanks.
[01:18] <nekoz> its like in dapper its forcing twinview whether the compy wants it or not
[01:18] <nekoz> !paste
[01:18] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[01:18] <eyequeue> ispiked, cool, thanks for the confirmation
[01:18] <ladydoor> azcazandco: go for it!
[01:18] <mrd> I asked a question earlier and then got cut off.  which sun models are supported by ubuntu?
[01:18] <brendonjt> sean: for acrobat sudo apt-get install acroread mozilla-acroread acroread-plugins
[01:18] <mrd> are sparc 10/20 and ultra 1/2 supported?
[01:18] <eyequeue> !hardware

[01:21] <nekoz> mmm brb

[01:22] <assitch> hi all
[01:23] <brooklyn> if i am already running gnome ubuntu desktop, can i switch to kde if desired?
[01:24] <unio> i'm getting an error with synaptic (i'll post it on pastebin, because i want to show more than the error message) -- i can run synaptic as a regular user... but when i try to run it as root; it stops working, any ideas?
[01:24] <ladydoor> azcazandco: np
[01:24] <sethk> unio, do you get the X permission error?
[01:24] <unio> "(synaptic:4932): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[01:24] <unio> "
[01:25] <Nosscire> Could someone please explain to me how to "split" files using tar's? I have a file that I must fit on USB stick. The file is almost 500mb, but I only have 400mb on the USB stick.
[01:25] <assitch> anyone here know how to get ubuntu to recognize my broadcom wifi
[01:25] <sethk> unio, right, that's your X display not allowing other users to display on it (root is another user).  just do sudo synaptic.  This is not a problem nor is it an error
[01:25] <cafuego> assitch: wiki.ubuntu.com -> search for bcm43xx
[01:25] <unio> ah
[01:25] <brooklyn> if i am already running gnome ubuntu desktop, can i switch to kde if desired?
[01:25] <cafuego> assitch: Note the firmware.
[01:25] <unio> thanks, sethk :)
[01:25] <assitch> i tried that
[01:26] <assitch> still get invalid ap
[01:26] <minimec> brooklyn: yes you can.
[01:26] <unio> actually, sethk (i'll post it on pastebin), same "warning" message
[01:26] <sethk> unio, there are ways to allow other users to display on the X terminal, but in this case it isn't necessary
[01:26] <assitch> and it says my card is inactive
[01:26] <minimec> brooklyn: sudo apt-get install kde
[01:26] <sethk> unio, oh, that's the DISPLAY not set error
[01:26] <sethk> unio, in the terminal, do this:   export DISPLAY=:0.0
[01:27] <brooklyn> minimec: ok, and once installed, how do i switch from gnome to kde? - sorry, im a bit new :)
[01:27] <unio> :D w00t! it works now, thanks sethk
[01:27] <crazdiam> hello
[01:27] <sethk> unio, np
[01:28] <brendonjt> kia ora crazdiam
[01:28] <eyequeue> tar split?  who wanted?
[01:28] <minimec> brooklyn: you login-screen is a software called gdm. GDM vies you the possibility to choose a 'session'. There you can choose kde
[01:28] <brooklyn> minimec: ok, and once installed, how do i switch from gnome to kde? - sorry, im a bit new :)
[01:28] <brooklyn> oops sorry :)
[01:28] <crazdiam> question, i installed a newer vers of k3b as well as a konqburn, both have broken dependencies , well i can do without them, the problem is, apt-get now wants to remove k3b,konqburn AND kubuntu-desktop
[01:28] <brooklyn> ty minimec :)
[01:28] <crazdiam> can i avoid this?
[01:28] <eyequeue> Nosscire, you?
[01:28] <minimec> ;)
[01:29] <Nosscire> eyeqyeye, what?
[01:29] <UKMatt> can someone help me add a repo, i've never done that
[01:29] <eyequeue> Nosscire, tar and split are separate commands, with separate man pages ... here is an example of piping one into the other (for making backups)
[01:29] <brooklyn> minmec: so once i install kde, and reboot, i will have the option to switch between the two?
[01:30] <ladydoor> !repositories > UKMatt
[01:30] <minimec> brooklyn: Yes :)
[01:30] <eyequeue> Nosscire, "tar czvf - source | split -b 650m tarpiece-"
[01:30] <brooklyn> ty :)
[01:30] <brendonjt> crazdiam:  the kubunut-desktop  doesn't matter  it won't remove kde.  remove  k3b and kburn,  and reinstall them
[01:30] <crazdiam> ok
[01:30] <crazdiam> thanks
[01:30] <eyequeue> Nosscire, that came from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81311&page=3
[01:30] <brendonjt> crazdiam:  you may need another dependinces
[01:31] <minimec> brooklyn: well you don't even have to reboot... you can do 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart'. ;)
[01:31] <brendonjt> crazdiam:  sudo apt-get install k3b
[01:31] <eyequeue> Nosscire, about 1/3 down the page
[01:31] <nozorro> UKMatt: use System > Admin > Software Properties
[01:31] <ubuntu> alo
[01:31] <crazdiam> yeah got thati just wanted to make sure that removing kubuntu-desktop wasnt going to remove KDE
[01:31] <blocky> can I safely format my /home partition?
[01:31] <eyequeue> Nosscire, "cat tarpiece-* > file.tar.gz"  to reassemble
[01:32] <UKMatt> nozorro, the web site gives a repo, how do i change that link into adding it
[01:32] <crazdiam> thanks for the help
[01:32] <ubuntu> im sudaca
[01:32] <omnid> Is there a way to skip the automatic fsck
[01:32] <brendonjt> crazdiam:  nah  iirc  it was just used for updating etc etc  it all cool
[01:32] <omnid> because of it it does not allow me to get into ubuntu
[01:32] <eyequeue> ubuntu, /nick sudaca
[01:32] <ubuntu> error my HD
[01:32] <nozorro> UKMatt: or edit sources.list, with 'sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list'
[01:32] <Nosscire> Checking now, thanks :)
[01:32] <brendonjt> ubuntu: what's up  with your hdd
[01:32] <Mikey> Hey, I've downgraded my kernel to 2.6.12, and my udev to breezy's verion, but now I don't have /dev/input/
[01:33] <sudaca> tanks
[01:33] <eyequeue> Nosscire, no prob
[01:33] <Mikey> Is there something I've forgotten to do?
[01:33] <longwave> omnid: you should just let fsck finish. if it doesn't continue into ubuntu afterwards, there is a problem with your drive, surely?
[01:33] <eyequeue> sudaca, much nicer now :)
[01:33] <sudaca> i have aproblem with my HD
[01:33] <omnid> longwave yeah... I hope not...
[01:33] <UKMatt> nozorro, do i put deb in front of the link?
[01:33] <brendonjt> sudaca:  whats the problem
[01:33] <omnid> argh
[01:33] <Mikey> Is it even udev that makes /dev/input?
[01:33] <longwave> omnid: what does fsck say when it finishes? does it drop you into a root shell for recovery, or something else?
[01:33] <lostinc> In nautilus there is a bookmark feature. Is there a way to have it sort the bookmarks by name?
[01:34] <omnid> It says to run it manually
[01:34] <eyequeue> UKMatt, try to follow the example of the other lines, but "man sources.list" explains details/format
[01:34] <nozorro> UKMatt: yeah, unless you want to install source code
[01:34] <omnid> So it is running manually with it autoresponding with yes for each recovery question
[01:35] <omnid> I don't have my Ubuntu disc anymore and there are no other burners on another computer...
[01:35] <longwave> omnid: does it continue after that, or are there still errors?
[01:35] <eyequeue> omnid, it can be alarming when it happens, but 99% of the time, it completes without incident, then reboot and all is well
[01:35] <UKMatt> i added "deb http://www.planetgargoyle.com/openarena/svn dapper" and reloaded and it gave me an error
[01:35] <iLikeSpoons> so, klogd keeps using up moer than 70% of my cpu
[01:35] <iLikeSpoons> all the time
[01:36] <omnid> There are still errors
[01:36] <omnid> like tons of them
[01:36] <iLikeSpoons> writing errors about my radeon card all the time
[01:36] <omnid> duplicate blocks mostly
[01:36] <eyequeue> UKMatt, no "main" or anything after that"
[01:36] <Mikey> !input
[01:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about input - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:36] <nozorro> UKMatt: wait, let me check the link ...
[01:36] <Mikey> =( I lack /dev/input.
[01:36] <eyequeue> UKMatt, it wants a repo after "dapper"
[01:36] <UKMatt> eyequeue, i have no idea what to add after
[01:36] <iLikeSpoons> any way I can stop/help this that isn't "buy a new video card"?
[01:36] <omnid> longwave there are still duplicate block errors after
[01:37] <nozorro> UKMatt: but this isn't a regular repo, or have i missed anything?
[01:37] <eyequeue> UKMatt, browse the url with firefos or something, to determine the structure they used on that archive, and compare it to an ubuntu archive
[01:37] <wastrel> print gocco
[01:37] <assitch> do i follow the wiki verbatim, even if its a fresh install?
[01:37] <tuxtheslacker> hey. can anyone think of anything that is like expose on mac osx for ubuntu?
[01:37] <longwave> omnid: it sounds like the filesystem is pretty messed up. your drive may be failing, if it wasn't anything due to anything you did in ubuntu...
[01:38] <omnid> Allright
[01:38] <UKMatt> eyequeue, thats way beyond me
[01:38] <tim_> on ubuntu server, what is the default mysql password?
[01:38] <iLikeSpoons> anyone have any ideas on the radeon problem?
[01:38] <omnid> Well... I may be getting a decent sum of cash next month. Maybe I can get a laptop more suited for linux
[01:38] <Mikey> brb
[01:38] <nozorro> UKMatt: this is no ubuntu or debian repo it seems to me
[01:38] <abo> how do we unblock someone on gaim?
[01:38] <eyequeue> UKMatt, um, you can't type a url into firefox?
[01:38] <omnid> Like one with a supported nvidia card
[01:38] <UKMatt> eyequeue, yeah but i really don't even know how a repo works, so couldnt compare it

[01:39] <ladydoor> abo: there should be privacy settings somewhere
[01:39] <tuxtheslacker> hey, is there a kompose application for gnome?
[01:39] <UKMatt> i was gonna put on a UB game and play around see how they are but it's not a big deal
[01:39] <longwave> omnid: check out those lists before you buy a laptop :)
[01:39] <eri1> hey can anyone help me install a irc client
[01:39] <eri1> ?
[01:39] <omnid> What lists
[01:39] <eyequeue> DaJudge, "ifconfig"
[01:39] <tim_> on ubuntu server, what is the default mysql password?
[01:39] <longwave> omnid: look at the links ubotu just said

[01:40] <tim_> on ubuntu server, what is the default mysql password?

[01:47] <spuddogg> anyone know if i can partition my drive without formatting?
[01:47] <ladydoor> shut-: it's a terminal app
[01:47] <mikey> shut-: Type "irssi", that's what I did.
[01:47] <spuddogg> anyone know if i can partition my drive without formatting?
[01:48] <mikey> spuddogg: Yes
[01:48] <brendonjt> shut_:  or you could creat a launcher  for it as well
[01:48] <WD_Raptor> DROOL
[01:48] <spuddogg> mikey, any idea how?
[01:48] <WD_Raptor> I just made this computer
[01:48] <mikey> spuddogg: Just don't delete the existing partitions, and you wont lose everything
[01:48] <mikey> If you've got the ubuntu livecd, I believe it comes with GTPartEd
[01:48] <spuddogg> mikey: is there a prog for that?  i'm not running the live disc, BTW
[01:48] <sethk> spuddogg, partitioning does nothing at all to the actual data
[01:49] <WD_Raptor> I want to have it but I can't afford it. But if I had it, I could run ubunutu at lightning speeds
[01:49] <WD_Raptor> Look at this computer http://pastebin.ca/156726 I built this on Newegg
[01:49] <omnid> I got it to work somehow!
[01:49] <longwave> iLikeSpoons: what is the error that klogd is logging?
[01:49] <lgc_> In layman terms, what's the difference between UTF-8 and ISO-whatever encoding?
[01:49] <omnid> longwave it works thanks lawl
[01:49] <mikey> spuddogg: Generally, free partitioning apps need to be run from a livecd
[01:49] <iLikeSpoons> well, it's logging nothing into any log in /var/log or subdirectories
[01:49] <iLikeSpoons> that's the strange part
[01:49] <longwave> iLikeSpoons: you said something about your radeon card
[01:49] <eyequeue> lgc_, utf is the newfangled thing that's politically correct? ;)
[01:49] <nozorro> lgc_: UTF can display a vast array of human language chars, iso* only a subset of them
[01:50] <mikey> spuddogg: Make backups of important data before repartitioning. It doesn't always happen, but there's a chance it can mess up.
[01:50] <longwave> iLikeSpoons: are the errors reported by "dmesg" ?
[01:50] <iLikeSpoons> yeah, I read through that... it reported a bunch of errors on startup, but nothing in the last couple of hours
[01:50] <Xenguy> lgc_: look up 'unicode' on wikipedia.org
[01:50] <spuddogg> mikey, so if i boot with the live cd, i can partition without hurting my data?  and without actually going through the install process again?
[01:50] <cheesy1> mikey,  have you looked into /dev/MAKEDEV ?
[01:50] <eyequeue> lgc_, iso is the old international standards group, and they wrote a standard for individual areas, not the "universal" one
[01:50] <lgc_> eyequeue, nozorro, thanks. That means I get to choose UTF-8 by all means?
[01:50] <longwave> iLikeSpoons: can you put the dmesg output into a pastebin? the startup errors may be important still
[01:50] <mikey> cheesy1: Nope, not atall, what is it?
[01:50] <lgc_> Xenguy, thanks.
[01:50] <Xenguy> lgc_: unicode is the future - yw
[01:51] <nozorro> lgc_: you should if you use anything non-English on a regular basis. 'it's the future.'
[01:51] <cheesy1> mikey, a script to create devices in /dev
[01:51] <iLikeSpoons> longwawe - in a couple of seconds
[01:51] <longwave> iLikeSpoons: also, does this happen every time you boot, and with no applications running? have you tried running without X to see if that makes a difference?
[01:51] <eyequeue> lgc_, pick what works, but utf compliance seems to be everyone's target, and it's no longer so new to be unsupported
[01:51] <mikey> spuddogg: GTPartEd, the program on the livecd should allow you to resize the ones you've got. It's sometimes risky, particularly with ntfs, but as long as you backup crucial stuff it's okay.
[01:51] <iLikeSpoons> longwawe, it hasn't happened in a while
[01:51] <mikey> cheesy1: I'll give it a go now. Thanks :)
[01:51] <Twister99> does ~/.vimrc work by default on the default install?
[01:51] <lgc_> eyequeue, I see.
[01:51] <iLikeSpoons> a few months ago, it started happening constantly
[01:51] <spuddogg> mikey, i'll give it a whirl...thanks man
[01:51] <iLikeSpoons> to the point where my machine froze up a few times I day
[01:52] <cheesy1> mikey, more info in man MAKEDEV
[01:52] <iLikeSpoons> I finally found this bug
[01:52] <Xenguy> Twister99: better to customize
[01:52] <iLikeSpoons> https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/16873 <-
[01:52] <kdean06> Hello all.
[01:52] <eyequeue> lgc_, btw, "unicode" and utf-8 can be viewed as synonyms, for you (utf-16 exists though, i think)
[01:52] <Twister99> Xenguy: yes, but does something need configured?
[01:52] <kdean06> How does one set a different C compiler as default on Dapper?
[01:52] <Twister99> I cannot seem to get set modeline to work...
[01:52] <iLikeSpoons> and, since I have a radeon 7000, I guessed it was it. I reinstalled, as I had schoolwork to do and never explored, as it didn't start happening. Until, like, yesterday
[01:52] <lgc_> eyequeue, what does the suffix "8" (and "16") mean?
[01:52] <hardkaare> HI, I have installed the xlg thing, and its very nice, now im wondring how ppl change the look of the gnome panels?
[01:53] <Xenguy> Twister99: not sure - I wouldn't consider not customizing (heavily) tho
[01:53] <eyequeue> lgc_, bits
[01:53] <brendonjt> !xgl
[01:53] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[01:53] <Xenguy> Twister99: it should work out of the box if that is what you mean
[01:53] <Twister99> yes, hmm interesting.
[01:53] <ugarit> when I insert my sd card into my toshiba laptop it's not automounted nor recongnized.  How do I fix that?
[01:53] <bergan> Does anyone know if the live-CD has SATA drivers on it?
[01:53] <nozorro> lgc_: 16 refers to a newer version of the unicode standard i think. read it up on wikipedia
[01:54] <eyequeue> lgc_, 8 bits in a byte, "double-byte" character sets use the 16 .... some of those with 300 or more characters would need it, for example
[01:54] <Xenguy> Twister99: there are many .vimrc's available on the web, if you want a starting point BTW
[01:54] <cheesy1> wonder if xgl/compiz will run on my intel (not so) extreme2 built in graphics
[01:54] <Twister99> oh ok it does appear to be working...
[01:54] <DanTesS> could someone help me ? I've got a problem with my graphic card (7900GT)
[01:54] <lgc_> eyequeue, is that enough for Mandarin, for example?
[01:54] <Twister99> I must have screwed something else up, thanks
[01:54] <iLikeSpoons> longwave, here's the dmsg output. It doesn't show any errors, while Xorg.0.log shows a few
[01:54] <iLikeSpoons> http://pastebin.com/781020
[01:54] <eyequeue> nozorro, i think anything with more than 255 characters has to go 16
[01:55] <Twister99> ha, needed a space between # and vim
[01:55] <lostinc> how do you change a folders icon? Or add new emblems?
[01:55] <Twister99> oh, the simple things...
[01:55] <nozorro> lgc_: maybe, but at the beginning you where talking about 'laymen's terms' :-)
[01:55] <gre1> how do i reconfigure xserver in ubuntu and which one would i select for a geforce fx 5200 card?
[01:56] <eyequeue> lgc_, well, if it has less than 65,535 characters ;)
[01:56] <nozorro> eyequeue:  sorry for the previous one
[01:56] <eyequeue> nozorro, np
[01:56] <mikey> cheesy1: Just to check, my mouse *should* be in /dev/input right?
[01:56] <nozorro> eyequeue: i was aiming for lgc_ ...
[01:57] <longwave> iLikeSpoons: a "dd" process died according to that dmesg output, and there is supposed to be a dd process running at all times to handle kernel logging...
[01:57] <gre1> how do i reconfigure xserver?
[01:57] <lgc_> nozorro, I'm a layman.
[01:57] <iLikeSpoons> oh, joy
[01:57] <eyequeue> nozorro, i *think* the distinction is 2^8-1 vs 2^16-1
[01:58] <eyequeue> gre1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:58] <eyequeue> gre1, try it, i may have typoed, it just looks wrong somehow, heh
[01:58] <gre1> which video option would i select for geforce fx5200?
[01:58] <nozorro> eyequeue: maybe, anyway i believe 16 is not deployed as widely yet ...
[01:59] <gre1> which video option would i select for geforce fx5200 in xserver?
[01:59] <eyequeue> nozorro, no, basically the online world start with english, and has been slow to support those folks, good bad or otherwise, it's just reality ... ubuntu intends to not-ignore them though, at least :)
[01:59] <hardkaare>  does anyone know how to change the look of of the pannels?
[01:59] <iLikeSpoons> longwave - any ideas on the solution? just start it up myself, manually?
[02:00] <cheesy1> mikey, not sure. i certainly have /dev/input/mice and /dev/input/mouse0 but my system is not stock. i have messed with mouse support before and rebuilt my /dev
[02:00] <longwave> iLikeSpoons: i am not sure of the best way, it is started during the boot process so there may be a way of redoing that
[02:00] <eyequeue> lgc_, nozorro, if really interested in utf-16, #ubuntu-jp and the like probably know more than i do, certainly ;)
[02:00] <cheesy1> mikey, so i honestly couldn't tell you how a "standard install" should look.
[02:01] <nilesh892003> hello friends i am using ubuntu from last 2 months now i have problem with my system
[02:01] <visik7> how can I recompile an ubuntu kernel recreating all the debs ?
[02:01] <eyequeue> and sadly, they know much better english typically than i do their languages
[02:01] <mikey> cheesy1: Thanks anyway :)
[02:01] <nozorro> eyequeue: i'm not sure i can follow, anyway he should use utf if he can display the chars of his chosen langs with it (and not some iso-enconding)
[02:01] <eyequeue> nozorro, true
[02:01] <nilesh892003> i had detected that i have some bad sector in my hard disk ?how to repair it
[02:01] <longwave> iLikeSpoons: "sudo /etc/init.d/klogd restart" should do it
[02:02] <gre1> which option would i select for gefore card?
[02:02] <iLikeSpoons> yup. worked, thanks
[02:02] <nilesh892003> could i repair surface layer bad sectors of my hard disk????????????????????????????????????????????
[02:02] <cheesy1> !fsck
[02:02] <iLikeSpoons> it reported an error in not being able to stop the program with a PID that dd had :D
[02:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fsck - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:03] <cheesy1> nilesh892003, use the command fsck
[02:03] <lgc_> eyequeue, as a layman, I pass on that. I'm just running dpkg-reconfigure, but I am a bit confused with the Ubuntu help page dealing with LocaleConf.
[02:03] <sethk> nilesh892003, you can do a scan that marks bad sectors so they won't be used, but usually if there are bad sectors you have a dying drive
[02:03] <Xenguy> nilesh892003: nasty
[02:03] <sethk> nilesh892003, and you should be thinking about backing it up, not fixing it.
[02:03] <Xenguy> nilesh892003: punctuation that is :P
[02:03] <nilesh892003> ok
[02:03] <sethk> nilesh892003, use smartctl to dump its internal error information
[02:03] <sethk> cheesy1, fsck has nothing to do with bad sectors
[02:04] <nozorro> lgc_ can't you just use the desktop app for loading the needed lang support?
[02:04] <eyequeue> lgc_, i don't know the page myself, but honestly i think the common problem is people forget they need to install the language pack for their locale first
[02:04] <nilesh892003> i am new bi 2 could u help me what to type in command line all that
[02:04] <iLikeSpoons> wow...
[02:04] <lgc_> eyequeue, for example, I just finished the install and reconfiguration phases, but I still don't know how to enable another language, since I didn't get any option for that with dpkg-reconfigure.
[02:04] <iLikeSpoons> seems dd died as soon as klogd started again
[02:05] <iLikeSpoons> both dd and amarokk
[02:05] <lgc_> nozorro, where is that?
[02:05] <nozorro> lgc_: try System > Administration >  Language Support
[02:05] <eyequeue> lgc_, you did first install the language packs you need?
[02:05] <longwave> iLikeSpoons: out of interest, what language are you running ubuntu in?
[02:05] <iLikeSpoons> english
[02:05] <iLikeSpoons> :P
[02:06] <longwave> iLikeSpoons: there is a bug in launchpad where dd segfaults with certain language packs
[02:06] <SirKillalot> is there a download manager for ubuntu which support multiple connections to the server?
[02:06] <SirKillalot> http download client
[02:06] <cheesy1> sethk, i was under the impression that fsck was used to check and (optionally) repair the filesystem. Something he should do if he has gotten bad sectors. Other than that the harddrive should automatically flag the sectors as bad and best practice was to just let them be. Could be wrong though.
[02:06] <nozorro> lgc_: open this config app and select the lang support packages to be installed; select default lang. keyboard needs to be set elsewhere
[02:06] <AustLaw> just installed the k7-smp kernal, but it will not boot
[02:06] <lgc_> I installed "locales" and "localeconf". Other than that, I already forgot if I did so during the upgrade to Breezy.
[02:06] <AustLaw> says failed to load file system
[02:06] <sethk> cheesy1, fsck repairs file systems, yes.  and it's possible that a file system is corrupted by bad sectors.  however, fsck is not the program to use to find and mark bad sectors.
[02:07] <sethk> cheesy1, badblocks is the program for that
[02:07] <nilesh892003> hello how to fix I/O related hard disk error ,plz help me i am newbi in linux
[02:07] <longwave> AustLaw: does selecting the previous kernel work?
[02:07] <nozorro> lgc_: like i said, try the config app, i think it wasn't available in breezy but works quit nicely
[02:07] <sethk> nilesh892003, you don't fix it.  unless it is jumpered or cabled wrong.  you replace it.
[02:07] <lgc_> nozorro, Spanish and English are already selected.
[02:07] <iLikeSpoons> hmmm... another restart of klogd seemed to work fine. dd is running!
[02:07] <AustLaw> ya, im back on the previous kernal now
[02:07] <lgc_> nozorro, it is indeed available.
[02:08] <nozorro> lgc_ what else do you need, what doesn't work? Digame!
[02:08] <schnak37> hi everyone :)
[02:08] <schnak37> are you fine ? :)
[02:08] <brooklyn> Stupid question: which is more popular for desktop use, kde or gnome
[02:08] <sethk> brooklyn, who knows?  try both and use the one that you like
[02:08] <longwave> iLikeSpoons: things shouldn't really be crashing like that in the first place, but it's hard to tell if this is software or hardware
[02:08] <sethk> brooklyn, there isn't any reliable data on that
[02:08] <schnak37> brooklyn > that depends no ?
[02:08] <mikey> cheesy1: I've read the man page for MAKEDEV, and no matter what I run, "./MAKEDEV input" or "./MAKEDEV usb", it says it makes it, but an "ls" says otherwise. I used sudo, am I missing something?
[02:08] <iLikeSpoons> longwave - I'll blame it on the radeon 7000
[02:09] <iLikeSpoons> I'm getting an old geforce from a friend next week
[02:09] <lgc_> nozorro, I don't know if they will work from now on, but before this, the accented letters in Spanish got all messed up.
[02:09] <IR2539> need help
[02:09] <longwave> iLikeSpoons: let's hope that fixes it for you :)
[02:09] <brooklyn> ok, more specific question - which one do you guyse use? kde or gnome more? :)
[02:09] <iLikeSpoons> if this stops, it was the radeon. If not, I'm in deep trouble :P
[02:09] <nozorro> lgc_ i use english, german, french, and spanish packages side by side with no problem, to change the desktop lang you have to log out though
[02:09] <HeathenDan> i use xfce :P
[02:09] <nozorro> lgc_ which is your standard keyboard? us?
[02:09] <lgc_> nozorro, sounds like Windoze.
[02:10] <IR2539> i need modify --> gksudo gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom but this command is just dor graphic mode and i need to do in console
[02:10] <nozorro> lgc_ what sounds like Windows?
[02:10] <schnak37> mmh by the way, i'd like to know if it was possible to skip the movies in neverwinter nights by using nwmovies ?
[02:10] <lekvar> speaking of graphics cards, what about late model ati cards?
[02:10] <eyequeue> IR2539, sudo vim /file/path/name
[02:10] <lgc_> nozorro, the standard keyboard is Spanish. With "" and the like.
[02:10] <lgc_> nozorro, I mean, having to restart the whole sh*t.
[02:10] <eyequeue> IR2539, sudo nano, if you don't know vim
[02:11] <nozorro> lgc_ restart to *enter* other lang chars or to *display* them?
[02:11] <cheesy1> sethk, thank you for the information. Always good to learn something new.
[02:11] <schnak37> no body wants to answer to my question ? I supose so that there is here no nwn players :p ?
[02:11] <lgc_> nozorro, restart to display
[02:12] <AustLaw> sry dropped, the exact error is "Kernel Panic: VPS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:03"
[02:12] <sethk> schnak37, sorry, I don't even know what it is, let alone how to use it.
[02:12] <IR2539> thx
[02:12] <cheesy1> mikey, have you tried with the -v (verbose) flag to see if it actually does something ?
[02:12] <IR2539> to save
[02:12] <IR2539> ??
[02:12] <lgc_> nozorro, how can I change my status to "be right back"?
[02:12] <AustLaw> where is the grub config file again?
[02:12] <nozorro> lgc_ you mean you can't see the  for instance if you desktop lang is english?
[02:12] <eyequeue> IR2539, in vim?  hot esc a couple of times, then ":wq" without quotes, and enter
[02:13] <sethk> AustLaw, that's almost always caused by booting to a root file system when the kernel support for that file system is missing.  or by an invalid root= argument on the kernel command line
[02:13] <longwave> AustLaw: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:13] <eyequeue> lgc_, "/away be right back"
[02:13] <AustLaw> well it is a dual boot system
[02:13] <schnak37> sethk > thx, well, i'll doscover my answer all by my self :) mhhhh that will help me to enjoy my night
[02:13] <nozorro> lgc_ i use engl. as my destop lang and read and write in four langs all the time
[02:13] <lgc_> nozorro, I mean that, when I write "" on the terminal, I get something else.
[02:13] <longwave> AustLaw: put your menu.lst in a pastebin so we can see if there's anything you could try
[02:14] <eyequeue> lgc_, later, "/back" or just "/away" with no operands, if /back doesn't work
[02:14] <lgc_> eyequeue, thanks.
[02:14] <nozorro> lgc_: well apart from '' not being the most common char in a terminal, that looks like a keyboard config. problem to me -- provided you can still read Spanish in Firefox, for instance
[02:14] <AustLaw> k, the root looks the same on the old and new ternal boots
[02:14] <eyequeue> lgc_, no prob ... which client btw?
[02:15] <mikey> cheesy1: Yep, it says it created them. If i run it in another directory to test it, it'll make them there fine, just not actually in /dev/
[02:15] <AustLaw> http://paste-bin.com/231
[02:15] <tys> when I boot my laptop, after grub, it says hda: not ready for command
[02:15] <tys> does that means my harddisk is dying
[02:16] <sethk> tys, it could
[02:16] <tys> sethk: can I check that
[02:16] <lgc_> nozorro, I can read anything, the problem is when I get an e-mail with accents and "", for example. And when I cut-and-paste a special character, it gets garbled.
[02:16] <lgc_> eyequeue, X-chat.
[02:16] <sethk> tys, does it happen after you finish booting, ever?
[02:16] <AustLaw> I am booted into the top one now, so that one works
[02:17] <eyequeue> lgc_, yeah, no /back in xchat, just the bare /away to set yourself back
[02:17] <tys> my laptop is booting on this moment, but really slow
[02:17] <longwave> AustLaw: you installed the 2.4 k7 kernel, you should try the 2.6 one instead - linux-image-k7
[02:17] <matthewjames> hi, how do you change the interfacer, like windows blinds?
[02:17] <sethk> tys, run smartctl on it, dump its internal error information
[02:17] <sethk> tys, that will tell you if it is dying
[02:17] <tys> thx
[02:17] <nozorro> lgc_ hmm, doesn't happen to me, just tried it. it looks you really need to set everything to utf
[02:17] <eyequeue> matthewjames, pardon?
[02:18] <cheesy1> mikey, Sorry. Then it's out of my league. Hopefully someone has a solution to your problem.
[02:18] <DARKGuy> Greetings, can anybody tell me what's the equivalent of ".xinitrc" as I've seen in some tutorials on the net, in Ubuntu? like, the apps that get running after GDM logins, such as gnome-panel and such?
[02:18] <matthewjames> eyequere: how do you change the interface, like what windows blinds does?
[02:19] <nozorro> lgc_: like i said, my display lang is en_US, but i can write chars in german, french, spanish with no prob., just from the default config -- and with a German keyboard! So it must be possible!
[02:19] <eyequeue> DARKGuy, system > preferences > session
[02:19] <matthewjames> eyequeue: how do you change the interface, like what windows blinds does?
[02:19] <eyequeue> matthewjames, "windows blinds"  no c;ue what that means
[02:19] <mikey> cheesy1: Ok. Thanks anyway :) You've pointed me in the right direction.
[02:19] <eyequeue> matthewjames, man 5 interfaces, if you want to edit that file
[02:19] <AustLaw> longwave: will do
[02:20] <matthewjames> ok, umm, change what the desktop looks like, like the app bar, etc
[02:20] <eyequeue> matthewjames, that's not interfaces, interfaces is eth0 and the like
[02:20] <matthewjames> ah, what is that?
[02:20] <nozorro> lgc_: it occurs to me that once i had to delete all the lang settings in bash config files in the home dir once i upgraded to dapper -- maybe that helps in your case
[02:20] <matthewjames> desktop mods?
[02:21] <eyequeue> matthewjames, try right clicking on things, then try the system > preferences menu items, for things of that nature
[02:21] <AustLaw> longwave: I didnt even notice that there were more than I, which should I get for amd64x2 3800+?
[02:21] <matthewjames> ok
[02:21] <eyequeue> matthewjames, eth0?  it's probably the interface you're using now, to access the internet
[02:21] <matthewjames> kk
[02:21] <AustLaw> linux-image-2.6.15-26-k7?
[02:22] <JKing> Query the third: if I tell apt-get to just download packages, where do they end up?
[02:22] <eyequeue> matthewjames, your "windows" language is what was confusing, next time try just telling us what you want to do, since windows is not something uinderstood here
[02:22] <void^> JKing: in /var/cache/apt/archives
[02:22] <matthewjames> ok
[02:22] <JKing> Wonderful.  Thankee. :)
[02:22] <eyequeue> matthewjames, but we did get it answered, right?  or are you still a bit lost?
[02:22] <nozorro> lgc_: and another thing: remember that terminal and gedit, for instance, allow changing the encoding by hand during the session
[02:23] <mikey> brb
[02:23] <Trae> matthewjames, art.gnome.org and gnome-look.org
[02:23] <Trae> matthewjames, you are wanting "themes"
[02:23] <eyequeue> JKing, -d switch for that, btw
[02:23] <Trae> :)
[02:23] <DARKGuy_> :( hey I come from Windoze too. And I'm sure some of us used it once, maybe not enough to know what he knows, but still, it's just my opinion. Anyways, got disconnected. Anybody told me anything about what was the equivalent of .xinitrc in Ubuntu?
[02:23] <matthewjames> um, still want to know how to chnage and add permanant pannels to screen, like weath, pc load, etc?
[02:23] <longwave> AustLaw: just "linux-image-k7" will get any bug fix/security releases through the normal updates; if you install a specific version, that won't happen
[02:23] <matthewjames> yes themes
[02:23] <eyequeue> DARKGuy, system > preferences > session
[02:24] <Trae> matthewjames, system > prefeerences > themes
[02:24] <JKing> eyequeue: Yeah.  I was just naively expecting apt-get to download them to the working directory.
[02:24] <matthewjames> ok, ty
[02:24] <eyequeue> DARKGuy, not sure what file it gets saved to though
[02:24] <DARKGuy_> eyequeue: oh yay! some GUI to edit it, this rules :D
[02:24] <nozorro> eyequeue: .gnome2/session ?
[02:24] <eyequeue> JKing, heh, yeah, but it does do that in one situation, just to make it confusing, lol
[02:24] <DARKGuy_> eyequeue: don't worry, it's enough for the time being, thanks :)
[02:24] <DARKGuy_> nozorro: tried, but I see no session file there xD
[02:24] <eyequeue> JKing, apt-get -b source foo
[02:25] <longwave> matthewjames: if you want to add weather, cpu usage, network indicators, etc. to a gnome panel, right-click on a panel and select "add to panel"
[02:25] <matthewjames> ok, ty
[02:25] <eyequeue> nozorro, i would have guessed that dir, made a change, then grepped that dir to find the string i added to identify the file, heh
[02:25] <matthewjames> wait, where gnome pannel?
[02:26] <eyequeue> matthewjames, what longwave said is a really nifty feature :)
[02:26] <matthewjames> longwave:wait, where gnome pannel?
[02:26] <jiangshi> I installed the traceroute package but for some reason it times out after it gets passed my router
[02:26] <eyequeue> matthewjames, that "bar" at the top and bottom is a program called gnome-panel
[02:26] <jiangshi> can anyone help?
[02:26] <matthewjames> ok, ty alot!
[02:26] <eyequeue> matthewjames, hence gnome refers to those things as "panels" if you see that term
[02:27] <IR2539> ?? can i install xgl in ubuntu runnig in vmware
[02:27] <matthewjames> but how insert the pc info into panel?
[02:27] <eyequeue> matthewjames, it seems like there's a different language used, huh? :)
[02:27] <no0tic> anyone could help me with a remote control on my laptop?
[02:27] <matthewjames> nvm, found it, add to pannel:P
[02:27] <eyequeue> matthewjames, right click on it, then select add and a ton of goodies show up ... pick one
[02:27] <JKing> eyequeue: That's more than I wanted to know, but very interesting nonetheless.  Still, that -si- what you would expect to do if you wanted it to build source.  But, er... does it download the -source- to the working directly, or just copy the built data to the working directory?
[02:27] <matthewjames> ty alot guys
[02:28] <JKing> er... is, rather.
[02:28] <eyequeue> JKing, without the -b, it just fetches to current dir, with the -b, it buids it all in a subdir, and then puts the resulting deb in the current dir
[02:29] <JKing> That's whacky. :)
[02:29] <boricua> i dont see this printer on the hardwarelist, any idea how long before it is supported by ubuntu http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5078906
[02:29] <marloes> where am I?
[02:29] <IR2539> who i do install the kernel I686 and the support for SMP
[02:29] <eyequeue> JKing, i wouldn't want a ton of .c files in current dir, all jumbled, subdirs there make sense, and are even reasonably named, lol
[02:30] <eyequeue> marloes, localhost
[02:30] <longwave> IR2539: install the "linux-image-686" package. SMP is included by default now.
[02:30] <jman8888> How can i make a new 35 gig partition from my 70 gb partition?
[02:30] <marloes> local host?
[02:30] <marloes> eyequeue
[02:30] <marloes> i don't get this
[02:30] <eyequeue> IR2539, sudo apt-get install linux-image-686
[02:30] <matthewf> Ubuntu has the Nforce4 Intel stuff in it by default right ?
[02:30] <eyequeue> marloes, what did you need?
[02:30] <IR2539> thx
[02:30] <marloes> just seen this on my pc and thought i open it and now all these people talking pc stuff
[02:31] <Exclamation> hi
[02:31] <marloes> didn't need anything
[02:31] <nozorro> boricua: sadly, impossible to tell. a driver will get developed if and when someone volunteers to do it. that said, have you checked linuxprinting.org ?
[02:31] <iLikeSpoons> marlos, this is THE room for ubuntu people, especially ubuntu people with problems :P
[02:31] <eyequeue> marloes, you have joined #ubuntu a support channel for the linux distribution, on the freenode irc network
[02:31] <marloes> eyequeue;unless someone here can help me get rid of spam hahah
[02:31] <nozorro> boricua: HP printers are generally well supported
[02:31] <eyequeue> marloes, fry it up, feed it to your dog, lol
[02:32] <Exclamation> is initng really worth it?
[02:32] <jman8888> How do i make a new partition from my ubuntu partition?
[02:32] <marloes> eyequeue; so that means you all talk linux stuff and that's it?
[02:32] <eyequeue> Exclamation, i tried it and didn't like it, but ... heh
[02:32] <marloes> eyequeue; good plan but have no dog
[02:32] <eyequeue> marloes, in this channel, yes, but there's other channels
[02:32] <AustLaw`> well it got past the root file system error
[02:32] <Exclamation> eyequeue: is it faster?
[02:33] <AustLaw`> but failed to laod x-server, driver issues
[02:33] <eyequeue> marloes, it's a geek network though, so it will probably all be borning, lol
[02:33] <matthewjames> hey, where can i download more themes?
[02:33] <marloes> eyequeue: how do i get to the other ones so? and you a computer geek hihi??!! LOL
[02:33] <AustLaw`> I assume I need different drivers for the new kernal?
[02:33] <eyequeue> matthewjames, watch the msf from the bot
[02:33] <jiangshi> I have installed the Traceroute package, but when i try to run it, it times out after my router. Can some one help me
[02:33] <nuxord> hi
[02:33] <eyequeue> !themes > matthewjames
[02:33] <boricua> nozorro: i havent checked linuxprinting but i did check ubuntu hardwarelist
[02:33] <silent_scream> hi all! how can i see an .avi in xine with subtitles??
[02:33] <nozorro> matthewjames: http://art.gnome.org/
[02:33] <nuxord> how can i play videos in youtube..how can i get the flash plugin????
[02:33] <jman8888> Can anybody see me? Im being ignored.
[02:33] <nuxord> i can see
[02:33] <matthewjames> kk
[02:33] <jman8888> !partition
[02:33] <eyequeue> marloes, example, you can type /join ##windows
[02:33] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[02:34] <AustLaw> !nvidia
[02:34] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:34] <jediborger> jman8888 I see you
[02:34] <matthewf> how can i see whats been detected chipset etc wise by the live cd ?
[02:34] <jman8888> How can i make a new partition
[02:34] <eyequeue> matthewf, i would try "dmesg | less"
[02:34] <marloes> eyequeue: but then i get windows geeks haha?!!
[02:34] <iLikeSpoons> marloes, also, have you used irc before? at all? Want a link to a tutorial or something
[02:34] <iLikeSpoons> ?
[02:34] <jediborger> jman8888: I would install gparted
[02:34] <eyequeue> marloes, yeah, it's all techie stuff here on freenode
[02:34] <marloes> ilikespoons:never been here before
[02:35] <jediborger> very easy program to use
[02:35] <eyequeue> marloes, wait, there's still one option     /join #offtopic
[02:35] <jman8888> jediborger, apt cant find gparted
[02:35] <marloes> eyequeue: this is like a strange movie...feel like i entered well I don't know..a strange movie haha
[02:35] <boricua> nozorro: is not on linuxprinting yet its a faily new printer
[02:35] <marloes> eyequeue: but then i will be without you.....
[02:36] <eyequeue> marloes, we may be stranger than you even imagine .... BWAHAHA :-)
[02:36] <marloes> eyequeue; i could get lost
[02:36] <nozorro> boricua: do check it out. anyway, ubuntu's printer config offer similar models to yours, you could try thos similar drivers, eg PhotoSmart 3100. often the differences are very small
[02:36] <marloes> ......
[02:36] <boricua> nozorro: i am asking before i buy so  icant test it yet :-(
[02:36] <eyequeue> iLikeSpoons, is irchelp.org still around?
[02:36] <marloes> eyequeue; thats it i feel like i am stuck in the matrix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[02:36] <jediborger> jman 8888: goto add/remove programs and look under system tools and make sure to check unsupported
[02:37] <marloes> ilikespoons: am i in the matrix? LOL
[02:37] <silent_scream> i have a movie in .avi format.. i want to watch it with xine, but xine doesn't load the subtitles!! any idea? it should recognise the .srt right?
[02:37] <nozorro> boricua: ah i see ... well in that case you're better off asking in the ubuntu forums, because your question will 'stick' not scroll by like it is here
[02:37] <iLikeSpoons> I have no idea... never went there. There is a pretty nice tutorials online, though
[02:37] <jediborger> jman are you sure you spelled gparted right? I did a search and found it
[02:37] <nuxord> what Do i need to instal to make videos play in youtube :( i cant find anything on the subject!?
[02:37] <iLikeSpoons> marloes - you are connected to an Internet Relay Chat server
[02:37] <jediborger> under synaptic
[02:38] <marloes> ilikespoons; yeah this place rocks baby
[02:38] <lostinc> Any ideas on how to get a recoil joypad to work?
[02:38] <JoseStefan> nuxord, probably flash
[02:38] <marloes> eyequeue; ??
[02:38] <iLikeSpoons> marloes - take a look at this: http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html
[02:39] <marloes> ilikespoons; too tired babe, have to sleep
[02:39] <nuxord> yeah..but it needs flash 9 is what i hear, but is there even a verion of it for linux?
[02:39] <iLikeSpoons> nuxord - nope. You need to run it from wine
[02:39] <eyequeue> marloes, also, there is a channel called #ubuntu-nl, for dutch
[02:39] <shut-> how come rpm's dont work
[02:39] <marloes> eyequeue:prefer the english, it's easier for me
[02:39] <gnomefreak> shut-: rpm = red hat package manager
[02:40] <marloes> eyequeue; how you know me dutchie?
[02:40] <JoseStefan> shut-, you should use deb whenever possible
[02:40] <eyequeue> nuxord, okay, there is something i just read about the other day, and have not tried personall\y
[02:40] <subnet> shut: you can use alien to convert your rpms to .deb files
[02:40] <gnomefreak> shut-: ubuntu isnt redhat :)
[02:40] <shut-> well how can i get music then
[02:40] <nuxord> o?
[02:40] <nozorro> shut-: ubuntu is not rpm-based
[02:40] <eyequeue> nuxord, a comandline script, in python ... should not need flash i would guess
[02:40] <nuxord> mhm
[02:40] <gnomefreak> music should not be in form of rpm or deb it should be its own .file
[02:40] <matthewf> ubuntu was locking up on me before.. lets see if a bios update has fixed it ...
[02:40] <eyequeue> nuxord, google for "youtube-dl.py"
[02:41] <nuxord> alright
[02:41] <eyequeue> nuxord, again, i haven't tried it, but it seems it should do what you want
[02:41] <nuxord> ok thanks
[02:41] <shut-> well i want a program to get music
[02:41] <silent_scream> is there any way in mplayer to make subtitles smaller?
[02:41] <gnomefreak> shut-: like? can you give an example?
[02:41] <nozorro> shut-: which one?
[02:41] <shut-> limewire
[02:41] <marloes> well I am saying goodbye to all you computer freaks, don't stay up too late you will end up with square eyes....;)
[02:41] <gnomefreak> !limewire
[02:41] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[02:41] <subnet> shut: use frostwire
[02:41] <marloes> night night
[02:42] <iLikeSpoons> silent scream - get out a smaller font package and overwrite the subtitles font somewhere in ./mplayer
[02:42] <subnet> shut: lots better imo
[02:42] <shut-> ok
[02:42] <lekvar> Wow, reading BinaryDriverHowto/ATI, I'd almost get the impression that the legendarily bad ati linux drivers actually work, and feel no apprehension about purchasing a particular type of card ;)
[02:42] <eyequeue> nuxord, do you need help getting a pythin script to run, or is that okay ar your end?
[02:42] <shut-> but will it work
[02:42] <gnomefreak> shut-: yes
[02:42] <iLikeSpoons> shut: nicotine is also nice
[02:42] <JoseStefan> tell shut- about frostwire
[02:42] <matthewf> id use limewire for single songs.. and Bittorrent trackers for albums etc
[02:42] <nuxord> its ok, i can do it :)
[02:43] <eyequeue> nuxord, cool
[02:43] <subnet> shut: you can use automatix to get it
[02:43] <nozorro> shut-: it really should, but install Sun's Java environment to be sure
[02:43] <iLikeSpoons> shut: nicotine lets you connect to the soulseek network. Has irc-ish chat integrated and is plain awesome :D
[02:44] <matthewf> anyone else here ever used or know anyone with a Nforce4 Intel Ed box with Ubuntu on it ?
[02:45] <shut-> how
[02:45] <lekvar> matthewf: i've kinda noticed it takes a lot of fishing around to find compat info on high game performance hardware like that
[02:46] <iLikeSpoons> shut: You can install sun java from synaptic in dapper
[02:46] <subnet> matthewf: ubuntu works great on nforce3 board, don't know what the difference is in the nforce3 and 4 though
[02:46] <ikaruga> is there a bug with the network applet? When I switch DHCP off & use the same settings as in Windowz, it does not work
[02:46] <cafuego> subnet: 1
[02:46] <myleftfoot> hi all, can anyone help me with my x. gdm wont start after I boot. I did the fix mentioned online and still doesn't start
[02:46] <nuxord> OK NOW i need help
[02:46] <matthewf> lekvar: its not for a gameing box, actuly its a box of spare parts that im trying to install linux on so i can prehaps find a use for all these spare bits
[02:46] <subnet> cafuego: lol nice
[02:47] <cafuego> As of 2.6.12 or somesuch nforce4 also works under Linux.
[02:47] <lekvar> matthewf: heck i'd just try it out and see what happens then
[02:47] <nuxord> i compiled it with Scite, and saved the file on my desktop
[02:47] <nuxord> but how do i run it =\
[02:47] <cafuego> So you should be fine with Dapper.
[02:47] <nuxord> sorry, i am still used to windows
[02:47] <Remy> hey guys, is there an easy place to view the environment variables?
[02:47] <lekvar> matthewf: i'm trying to spec out something new, but am edgey about buying recent hardware only to find it's marginally functional under leenooks
[02:48] <nozorro> shut-: or just use Add/Remove ... from the main menu, which is easier
[02:48] <Remy> I'm trying to set $CLASSPATH, but if I export the values to it in one terminal window, it isn't saved for any others...
[02:48] <ikaruga> hey this is wierd.... gaim works but Firefox says server can't be found (after restarting the network connection)
[02:48] <matthewf> cafuego: well youd think it would work but i installed ubunu yesterday, live cd worked fine, install was fine but after 10 mins of booting into the HD install the system would lock up hard
[02:48] <AustLaw`> how do you start GDM or the x-server?
[02:48] <dr_willis> Remy,  hmm.. thats HOW it works. :P
[02:48] <matthewf> cafuego: have installed windoze on the system and ran memtest and all is stable however
[02:49] <dr_willis> Remy,  you either export it in your .bash_profile or .bashrc for it to affect all new created shells.
[02:49] <ardchoille> How do I get the debian menus in my gnome menus? I installed menu and menu-xdg, but the command "update menus" returns the command not found.
[02:49] <cafuego> matthewf: Does it at all have a wifi card?
[02:49] <Remy> ahk
[02:49] <dr_willis> Remy,  exports from one shell do not affect others shells just the childen processes of that shell
[02:49] <Remy> thank
[02:49] <Remy> s
[02:49] <matthewf> cafuego: i update bios in windows so hopefully this time things should work
[02:49] <Xenguy> Remy: set |less
[02:50] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: use alacarte
[02:50] <lgc_> eyequeue, nozorro, I'm back.
[02:50] <dr_willis> Remy,  :P a few bash tutorials/guides - are worth reading  when ya grab the time.  :)  that advance bash scripting guide is a must read/bookmark/print out and wallpaper in the bathroom. :)
[02:50] <AustLaw`> anyone using a k7 kernal with nvidia drivers?
[02:50] <nuxord> i am slighly confused with Scite, if i have compiled my program, how can i see the output???
[02:50] <nuxord> i dont see a 'run button'
[02:50] <nozorro> lgc_ any news?
[02:50] <ikaruga> h
[02:50] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: That's a tremendous amoutn of work when the debian menus can be added with a single command
[02:50] <lekvar> speaking of video config, I've been trying out PPC ubuntu on an old mac mini and can't get DVI working right
[02:50] <lgc_> nozorro, yes, the kid had his shower and is having dinner...
[02:51] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: sometimes as you are seeing they cant also killall gnome-panel
[02:51] <eyequeue> lgc_, :)
[02:51] <AustLaw> !nvidia
[02:51] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:51] <lgc_> nozorro, (I better get serious before nalioth kicks me out)
[02:51] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: and you dont need menu-xdg
[02:51] <nozorro> lgc_:  oh, same thing here but hours ago :-)
[02:51] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: I don't? Ok.
[02:51] <matthewjames> what file format do thmes need to be to install?
[02:51] <gnomefreak> nope
[02:51] <lgc_> nozorro, where are you?
[02:51] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: shouldnt
[02:52] <gnomefreak> i dont have it
[02:52] <matthewf> ok booting back into ubuntu HD install... lets see if things work for longer then 10 mins this time heh
[02:52] <nozorro> lgc_: Berlin
[02:52] <gnomefreak> my menu works fine with debian sub menu
[02:52] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: How did you get the debian menus?
[02:52] <lgc_> "Ich bin ein Berliner!"
[02:52] <iLikeSpoons> ikaruga, firefox still not working?
[02:52] <matthewjames> what file format do thmes need to be to install?
[02:52] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: i just told you use alacarte to add it than killall gnome-panel (btw if your on edgy give up now)
[02:52] <nozorro> lgc_: well said
[02:52] <dr_willis> matthewjames,  thers so many different theme-things out its scary. :P    check /usr/share/themes      normally you uncompress them there.
[02:53] <eyequeue> i am a jelly donut -- jfk
[02:53] <lgc_> nozorro, Ich will ein Berliner, lieber.

[02:53] <nozorro> eyequeue: lol
[02:53] <matthewjames> k
[02:53] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: Use alacarte? You mean add each menu item? That's a lot of work. The debian menu in alacarte is empty and killall gnomepanel didn't help.
[02:53] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: no alacarte has a box for your debina sub menu
[02:53] <eyequeue> nozorro, at least someone recognized the reference
[02:53] <nozorro> lgc_: *einen' * Berliner -- but let's stop it now :-|
[02:54] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: I'm telling you it's empty
[02:54] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: open alacarte debian stares at you
[02:54] <lgc_> nozorro, genau. Danke.
[02:54] <rahsputin> hi! is there a way to open a .iso to explore
[02:54] <eyequeue> rahsputin, perhaps you want to mount it?
[02:54] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: than you dont have menu installed properly or you are on edgy
[02:54] <paradizelost> hey all, not really an ubuntu question, but i've forgotten my IRC password, anyone know how to get hold of someone or anything to re-set it?
[02:54] <iLikeSpoons> nozorro, would it be *eine* if said by a girl?
[02:54] <eyequeue> !iso
[02:54] <ubotu> To mount an .iso image: sudo mount -o loop my.iso /some/mountpoint - bin/cue can be converted to iso with bchunk  .iso images of Ubuntu CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com Always verify the .iso before burning, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[02:54] <paradizelost> and i don't know where i should be asking this?
[02:54] <lgc_> nozorro, eyequeue, do I have to restart the whole thing again or just gdm?
[02:54] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: Using Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS Dapper.
[02:55] <eyequeue> lgc_, probably just gdm, but remind me
[02:55] <rahsputin> :D
[02:55] <nozorro> lgc_: log out and select other lang from gdm menu
[02:55] <Noumaan> How do I set my network proxy if I am using epiphany on xubuntu?
[02:55] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: after installing menu you updateed the menus? without restarting panels first?
[02:55] <nozorro> lgc_ provided you have the packages installed of course
[02:55] <eyequeue> rahsputin,  sudo mount -o loop my.iso /some/mountpoint
[02:55] <nozorro> lgc_: supported langs will appear in gdm menu
[02:55] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: How do I update the menus?
[02:56] <eyequeue> ardchoille, log out and in
[02:56] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: sudo update-menus and the debian menu dont like eachother im asking you if you did this
[02:56] <eyequeue> ardchoille, or killall gnome-panel
[02:56] <gnomefreak> update-menu clears out the menu.xdg file
[02:56] <nuxord> how can i use Visual Basic, with all its options in ubuntu?
[02:56] <eyequeue> nuxord, is that a linux app?
[02:56] <gnomefreak> i think its menu.menu.xdg or something like that
[02:56] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: ok, that's what I was doing wrong.. I was doing sudo update menus
[02:57] <rahsputin> such as mntpoint /home/mountpoint
[02:57] <rahsputin> ?
[02:57] <dr_willis> nuxord,  good luck there.. i dont know if wine can even handle that.
[02:57] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: Thank you for the help :)
[02:57] <eyequeue> rahsputin, sure, anywhere you have access to
[02:57] <dr_willis> nuxord,  theres a few VB wanna be type program/ides out i hear.
[02:57] <nuxord> :( but visual basic is so simple and beautigul
[02:57] <shut-> how can i get it
[02:57] <nuxord> f
[02:57] <shut-> ?
[02:57] <rahsputin> KooL
[02:57] <nuxord> any names?
[02:57] <rahsputin> :)
[02:57] <AustLaw`> is there a way to scrollup in a shell?
[02:57] <lgc_> nozorro, I don't want anything else than the Spanish set. It encompasses the English one, if I'm right.
[02:57] <eyequeue> rahsputin, though sudo will hve access anywhere of course
[02:57] <gnomefreak> shut-: get what?
[02:57] <shut-> java
[02:57] <kyozabe> lostworld-lmao.ytmnd.com <-- "Additional plugins are required to display all media on this page." No sound. :(
[02:58] <gnomefreak> !java > shut-
[02:58] <cliffd> can anyone tell me what this means "Package gconf-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path." I have gconf and gconf2 installed
[02:58] <gnomefreak> shut-: read your pm
[02:58] <kyozabe> google didn't help
[02:58] <eyequeue> rahsputin, /home/rahsputin/mountpoint though
[02:59] <nuxord> ok i am having tourble with Scite, if i want to create a stand alone program, how can i do it? where do i click to make it happen?
[02:59] <Noumaan> How do I set my network proxy if I am using epiphany on xubuntu?
[02:59] <nozorro> shut-: but we told you alreday, twice :-)
[02:59] <nozorro> lgc_: hold on a second pls
[03:00] <matthewf> !nvidia
[03:00] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:00] <nozorro> lgc_: so did you install the Spanish lang packages?
[03:00] <nuxord> ok i am having tourble with Scite, if i want to create a stand alone program, how can i do it? where do i click to make it happen?
[03:00] <matthewjames> hey, i am having problems finding some kool themes, can someone help me?
[03:00] <cheesy1> nuxord, try gambas. not a clone but close enough.
[03:00] <rofl0r> is there a way to install rpm programs in ubuntu ?
[03:01] <nozorro> rofl0r: package alien
[03:01] <eyequeue> rofl0r, not advised, use a deb, but yes
[03:01] <rofl0r> lazarus is not available as .deb
[03:01] <eyequeue> rofl0r, sudo apt-get install alien, and use it to make a deb
[03:01] <nuxord> i am mostly looking for somethign to create my stand alone java, c, and c++ apps, gambas will do that
[03:01] <nuxord> ?
[03:01] <iLikeSpoons> rofl0r, why not compile it from source?
[03:01] <nozorro> rofl0r: handle with care
[03:02] <rofl0r> it needs fpc
[03:02] <lgc_> nozorro, I suppose I did, somehow, during the orig. install (since all the menus are in Spanish). How can I check if it's complete?
[03:02] <eyequeue> rofl0r, sudo dpkg -i lazarus*.deb, after
[03:02] <rofl0r> ok...gonna try that, thanks
[03:02] <phenol> hello
[03:02] <matthewjames> hey, i am having problems finding some kool themes, can someone help me?
[03:03] <nozorro> lgc_: again, pls open System > Administration > Language Support
[03:03] <phenol> how do i save my settings for a certain application (i.e. i want to save 50% opacity and view in all viewports for gaim) and everytime i set it, it unsets when i reboot/relogin
[03:03] <nozorro> lgc_: then tell me whether Spanish and English are checked (fully checked that is)
[03:04] <anon32> wtf... the base ubuntu install is completely non-functional!
[03:05] <[jb] > how do i remove a directorie and all its subdirectories?
[03:05] <anon32> jb: rm?
[03:05] <haasteem> hi, i am having trouble mounting my floppy drive... when i do 'mount' it says it is already mounted or busy, and when i do 'umount' it says that it is not mounted... does anyone know what might be the problem?
[03:05] <anon32> rm -fr?
[03:05] <matthewjames> hello, everytime i try install a theme, it says invalid format
[03:05] <Xenguy> anon32: whoops :-)
[03:05] <cheesy1> nuxord, no gambas won't do for that. As far as I know Gambas tries to mimic Visual Basic only.
[03:05] <eyequeue> [jb] , sudo rm -rf /incriminating/evidence
[03:05] <anon32> WTF is the deal with the media player? no mp3, mpeg-4, or css?
[03:05] <[jb] > it worked ... thanks
[03:05] <eyequeue> !mp3 > anon32
[03:06] <Xenguy> anon32: re-install if there's no more brilliant idea ?
[03:06] <nozorro> i!codecs
[03:06] <iLikeSpoons> anon, you need to install support for all restricted formats
[03:06] <matthewjames> hello, everytime i try install a theme, it says invalid format, or failed, any ideas?
[03:06] <lgc_> nozorro, "nofuchs", they are. I was just wondering if that entails all what there is to install.
[03:06] <nozorro> !codecs
[03:06] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[03:06] <Lard-O-Lad> what new features can be expected in Edgy?
[03:06] <anon32> just commenting...
[03:06] <eyequeue> [jb] , you don't need the sudo if you own it, btw, in the future
[03:06] <Xenguy> Lard-O-Lad: there's gotta be list somewhere
[03:06] <nuxord> cheesyl, do you know any program that will create stand alone apps for java, c and c++ ? they dont have to be the same program
[03:06] <phenol> how do i save my settings for a certain application (i.e. i want to save 50% opacity and view in all viewports for gaim) and everytime i set it, it unsets when i reboot/relogin
[03:06] <anon32> but my actual issue is that ubuntu doesn't support my modem
[03:06] <drew32> hey all
[03:06] <iLikeSpoons> anon, there are reasons for that. Read the help pages.
[03:06] <Xenguy> Lard-O-Lad: change log?
[03:06] <[jb] > eyequeue, ;)
[03:06] <Lard-O-Lad> i tried to google it couldnt find one
[03:07] <eyequeue> phenol, gaim should save automatically, i thought
[03:07] <drew32> ive got a bit of a problem, anyone know anything about forwarding ports?
[03:07] <matthewjames> hello, everytime i try install a theme, it says invalid format, or failed, any ideas?
[03:07] <anon32> ilikespoons: and I guess there's a reason xpdf isn't included?
[03:07] <nozorro> lgc_: well ok, but now let's get serious, i'm off in 15 minutes or so
[03:07] <anon32> drew32: try portforward.com
[03:07] <eyequeue> phenol, some apps, it's file > save
[03:07] <phenol> eyequeue, i thought the same. apparently not
[03:07] <eyequeue> phenol, some apps, it's under prefences, there's an apply and a save button
[03:07] <vorbote> anon32, linux distros with high visibility must watch their backs. No one want to be sued into oblivion (a customaru practice in the US of A).
[03:07] <iLikeSpoons> anon, there is something to look at pdfs in the base package. evince, I think
[03:07] <phenol> tried that
[03:07] <matthewjames> anyone, i try install a theme, it says invalid format, or failed, any ideas?
[03:07] <eyequeue> phenol, you're not on the livecd are you?
[03:07] <lgc_> nozorro, are you a "nozorro" or a "nozorra"?
[03:08] <phenol> no way
[03:08] <Lard-O-Lad> !repeat
[03:08] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[03:08] <anon32> anyway, ubuntu fails to detect my modem... it's a generic intel modem
[03:08] <anon32> any ideas?
[03:08] <haasteem> i am having trouble mounting my floppy drive... when i do 'mount' it says it is already mounted or busy, and when i do 'umount' it says that it is not mounted... does anyone know what might be the problem?
[03:08] <drew32> well, maybe thats not i want, lemme tell you the story.   There are lot's of other out there as well and usually which one is best is a personal preference.
[03:08] <matthewjames> anyone, i try install a theme, it says invalid format, or failed, any ideas?
[03:08] <nuxord> ok thanks
[03:08] <eyequeue> anon32, are you sure it's not a winmodem?
[03:09] <phenol> i have a dual monitor setup and everytime i switch workspaces, gaim gets left behind in the previous workspace
[03:09] <anon32> eyequeue: damn it! that might be it...
[03:09] <anon32> any solutions for that problem?
[03:09] <phenol> i select view in all viewport settings and it works
[03:09] <phenol> i reboot and its back to not being in all viewports
[03:09] <lgc_> nozorro, funny case, yours... I think I'm about ready when I restart gdm. Otherwise, you'll hear from me...
[03:09] <eyequeue> anon32, i guess there's winprinters now too :(  watch the bot for a url to check ...
[03:09] <eyequeue> !hardware
[03:09] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:10] <Jack_Sparrow> matthewjames: 1 in 10 of those themes will not work
[03:10] <eyequeue> anon32, see what that has to say, maybe there's a solution
[03:10] <drew32> anyone got any ideas about my problem?
[03:10] <nuxord> when the synaptic package manager downlaods the installation files does it delet them after installation is complete?
[03:10] <matthewjames> ok
[03:10] <eyequeue> anon32, pne more thought, again watch the bot
[03:10] <Warbo> nuxord: No. Run "sudo apt-get clean" to do that
[03:10] <eyequeue> !winmodem
[03:10] <matthewjames> where can i find some reliable ones?
[03:10] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[03:10] <nuxord> ok thanks
[03:11] <anon32> eyequeue: what section would a modem be under?
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> matthewjames: even at gonme-look.org there are many that will not work on all systems
[03:11] <matthewjames> ok, ty
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:11] <Xenguy> anon32: modems are cheap man :-)
[03:11] <eyequeue> anon32, grankly, i don't recall the page, see if you can "/" in firefox to search for the string?
[03:11] <anon32> mm... can't buy any hardware as I don't own this PC
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> anon32: buy an external that you can take with you

[03:14] <phenol> i cant get my desklets to dock. half of them wont dock and appear in random places when i login
[03:14] <jamescarr> I use mac osx instead of linux
[03:14] <eyequeue> anon32, yes ... sudo apt-get build-essential, and get all the stuff you would want with it, all at once
[03:14] <iLikeSpoons> anon, I think it does, but I'm not sure. I have it
[03:14] <jamescarr> cuz the linux has copyrite violations in it
[03:14] <shut-> how come i get E: Couldn't find package sun
[03:14] <shut-> ?
[03:14] <philip> I'm looking for a decent news reader. Which app should I try?
[03:14] <anon32> eyequeue: um, to use apt-get don't I need a working internet connection?
[03:14] <jamescarr> linux is a ripoff of SCO Unix
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> anon32: And you dont have a real modem, you have a port that emulates a modem..in WIndows.
[03:14] <phenol> philip, pan
[03:14] <Xenguy> philip: pan?
[03:15] <philip> ok thanks guys :)
[03:15] <anon32> jack_sparrow :aw man...
[03:15] <eyequeue> anon32, good point ... perhaps the servercd has it, but i don't believe the standard desktop install comes with it
[03:15] <haasteem> i am having trouble mounting my floppy drive... when i do 'mount' it says it is already mounted or busy, and when i do 'umount' it says that it is not mounted... does anyone know what might be the problem?
[03:15] <iLikeSpoons> shut: what are you trying to install? I had a problem with javadocs when I tried installing that package
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> anon32: You can buy a driver or live with the free driver with limited speed
[03:15] <nozorro> shut-: open Add/Remove from the main menu and check the two checkboxes, then type 'Sun' into the search box.
[03:15] <eyequeue> anon32, laptop?
[03:15] <shut-> ok
[03:15] <anon32> jack_sparrow: ???
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[03:16] <anon32> hmm, it appears that my modem is a hardware one...
[03:16] <hoehaver> does anyone know of a program that will allow me to receave video from a cam using yahoo?
[03:16] <vorbote> &part

[03:17] <anon32> jack_sparrow: Intel 537EP V9x
[03:17] <afaik> any 24 fans here?
[03:17] <cheesy1> !fixres
[03:17] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:17] <Warbo> !offtopic > afaik
[03:17] <nozorro> mattewf: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf provided your hardware supports it. scroll down in the file where the resolutions are listed
[03:17] <afaik> Warbo, season 6 trailer was leaked
[03:17] <eyequeue> afaik, this is #ubuntu, try #offtopic
[03:18] <Xenguy> .oO(they only come out at night...)
[03:18] <afaik> eyequeue, hold on ,I'll find it for you... let me get the link
[03:18] <eyequeue> Xenguy, lol, sadly it's always night somewhere
[03:18] <anon32> huh, found a forum thread... maybe it'll help... though that seems unlikely
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> anon32: INtel
[03:18] <nozorro> matthewf: ... and add your onw res. save and restart gdm
[03:18] <eyequeue> afaik, i'm not into sports, #offtopic might be
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> anon32: Is this a lappy?
[03:18] <Xenguy> eyequeue: not always sad tho - I like the night too
[03:19] <anon32> jack_sparrow: huh?
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> or desktop
[03:19] <hoehaver> DOES anyone have knowledge of a program that will allow me to view a persons cam if they are using yahoo????
[03:19] <anon32> desktop
[03:19] <phenol> so noone knows how to save window settings?
[03:19] <anon32> hoehaver: try #offtopic
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> anon32: HAve you done lspci in terminal
[03:19] <Warbo> phenol: What like?
[03:19] <rayna> hi all, i am running an ubuntu-server under vmware server (latest vers) and it appears that the ubuntu server continuously goes to sleep. the clock has lost 25 mins over about 4 weeks and quite often the machine is unresponsive, however once you attempt to make it do something (like ssh, or dns) it will wake up after about 20 seconds. Any ideas?
[03:19] <hoehaver> I will.
[03:19] <anon32> jack_sparrow: no... and I'd have to reboot to try that
[03:19] <anon32> :-\
[03:19] <jman8888> How do i use gparted?
[03:20] <Warbo> jman8888: For what?
[03:20] <afaik> eyequeue, 24 isn't a sport, it's a show
[03:20] <DrBanzai> Anybody here able to help me out with ISPConfig?
[03:20] <jman8888> Warbo, For making a 35gig partition from my 70 gig partion.

[03:20] <afaik> 24 season 6 trailer
[03:20] <phenol> warbo, i
[03:20] <gnomefreak> eyequeue: ?
[03:20] <afaik> pretty impressive ;)
[03:20] <phenol> warbo, i
[03:21] <eyequeue> afaik, you said "fan" but, again, this is #ubuntu and perhaps #offtopic has someone that would be into that
[03:21] <Warbo> jman8888: Easy. Open it up, making sure that the partition isn't mounted, select it, right click, resize/move, fiddle it around a bit, apply, exit
[03:21] <Xenguy> rayna: reduce the complexity of the setup and try some more tests?
[03:21] <anon32> ah wait know, it's a winmodem... oh well
[03:22] <hoehaver> anon32   /join #offtopic does not exist
[03:22] <phenol> warbo, i'm trying to save the display settings of my gaim (view in all viewports and change the opacity to 50%) but it resets everytime i reboot as if gaim doesnt save the settings
[03:22] <anon32> hoehaver: *duh*?
[03:22] <jman8888> Wait how do i do it with the hard drive im using?
[03:22] <eyequeue> anon32, there are some cheapish "real" modems out there these days, pick one from the !hardare page before you shop
[03:22] <hoehaver> duh?
[03:22] <Warbo> phenol: E16.8 might be able to do that
[03:22] <anon32> mmm...
[03:22] <jman8888> (I have ubuntu on it but i want to dual boot with another linux)
[03:22] <hoehaver> why would you tell me to go there then
[03:22] <hoehaver> duhh!
[03:22] <Warbo> phenol: But obviously that would involve changing your WIndow Manager
[03:22] <ocelot_> Please help, i'm trying to install ndiswrapper on 6.06 and I get Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/build;
[03:22] <ocelot_> give the path to kernel build directory with KBUILD=<path> argument to make
[03:23] <phenol> damn
[03:23] <iLikeSpoons> hoehaver, that can't actually happen. if you /join a non-existant channel, you will make one
[03:23] <phenol> not the answer i was looking for lol
[03:23] <anon32> eyequeue: even if I got a real modem, the time it would take to update and fetch all the apps and upgrades I need makes me reconsider whether or not switching to ubuntu is such a great idea
[03:23] <hoehaver> (20:20:58) ChanServ: (notice) [##unavailable]  You've tried to join an unavailable channel.

[03:23] <hoehaver> sorry for pasting
[03:23] <hoehaver> that's what I got when I tried to jhoin it.
[03:23] <Warbo> jman8888: The hard drive doesn't matter, only the partition. If the partition is not currently mounted then you can mess around with it in GParted
[03:23] <iLikeSpoons> anon, that's true. Ubuntu might not be for you...
[03:24] <phenol> anon32, stop being cheap and get dsl man
[03:24] <anon32> phenol: again, I don't own this computer...
[03:24] <afaik> heh
[03:24] <lgc_> eyequeue, are you familiar with PDA-Gnome interactions?
[03:24] <phenol> i cant use any computer non-broadbanded
[03:24] <jman8888> But it is mounted.(I have ubuntu on it and im using it) how do i make a partition?
[03:24] <phenol> i refuse to use it
[03:24] <ramon> anyone knows how to run alsaconf?
[03:24] <smax> hi gang
[03:24] <afaik> my pm from Ubugtu has about 10 people for "... wants you to know..."
[03:24] <anon32> hey, I found the driver for it :-)
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> ramon: from a terminal
[03:25] <ramon> yeah
[03:25] <ramon> but it says unknown command
[03:25] <eyequeue> lgc_, no, mine died when i was still a commandline guy
[03:25] <Warbo> jman8888: If it is being used then you can use an Ubuntu LiveCD to shrink it, since the Live CD doesn't need the hard drive to be mounted
[03:25] <gnomefreak> afaik: are you here for support or giving support? i havent seen you state anything support related
[03:25] <phenol> ok.. anyone got treo 650 to sync via bluetooth. moreover, can anyone lead me to a treo 650 bluetooth howto
[03:25] <jman8888> K.
[03:25] <tech13> Recently installed Kubuntu, just started using it, have used debian+gnome for a few years.  I have Ogg files that ogg123 will play, but amaroK won't, what should I check?
[03:25] <afaik> gnomefreak, I dont even use ubuntu
[03:25] <Warbo> jman8888: If you don't have an Ubuntu CD then the GParted Live CD is a much smaller download
[03:25] <anon32> next step.... figure out how to safely resize a half-used NTFS partition...
[03:25] <lgc_> eyequeue, seems a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then...
[03:25] <jman8888> K' ill try it.
[03:25] <gnomefreak> afaik: than i suggest you move to #ubuntu-offtopic for normal chat
[03:26] <anon32> #wikipedia is offtopic a lot too
[03:26] <eyequeue> lgc_, yeah, pluscker was a neat app on it, and in linux, back then
[03:26] <anon32> ah man... the drivers page got me 404ed...
[03:26] <Warbo> anon32: Surely ANYTHING is on-topic for Wikipedia :)
[03:26] <eyequeue> lgc_, clucker i meant
[03:26] <phenol> ok.. anyone got treo 650 to sync via bluetooth. moreover, can anyone lead me to a treo 650 bluetooth howto
