[10:29] <g0lem123> Greetings, Does anyone have a good site for the XO desktop? I understand it's the one that UBUNTU will be using on the OLPC machine.

[10:29] <name> for something is not right with my drive
[10:29] <name> or fs
[10:30] <AidanL> Can someone help me as my USB memory stick isn't being picked up by ubuntu...
[10:30] <name> AidanL: did you try mounting it manually?
[10:30] <hepme> does ubuntu livecd use only /dev/ram* meaning once i reboot there's no way to save any data, like if i edited a text file?
[10:30] <AidanL> No...
[10:30] <SpacePuppy> name: ya, it's kinda funny that an IDE drive is mounted on sda1
[10:31] <SpacePuppy> name: does it work?

[10:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:32] <name> im kinda upset
[10:32] <AidanL> I came here purely because I needed help. Obviously it is wrong - well to some people anyway.
[10:32] <name> it's not
[10:32] <IndyGunFreak> doe sanyone know how to install a gdm theme from gnome-look.org?
[10:32] <name> i just have enough probs with my computer atm
[10:32] <AidanL> Thats fair enough.
[10:32] <name> didn't mean it unfriendly
[10:32] <name> just told you to search google
[10:33] <s34n> I've got a harddrive with LVM volumes on it I would like to read from my ubuntu station so I can suck data off
[10:33] <tritium> !enter > name
[10:33] <s34n> I read that I need to apt-get install lvm2
[10:33] <IndyGunFreak> name, perhaps you should clarify who you're talking to.
[10:33] <AidanL> kk Name:)
[10:33] <name> IndyGunFreak: hm?
[10:33] <s34n> but I suppose I will also need to configure fstab to mount the volumes
[10:34] <superjoe> I'm a noob, how do I connect my ubuntu hp laptop to my wireless network
[10:34] <fr500__> !enter
[10:34] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:34] <name> sorry but that bot kinda annoys me ^^
[10:34] <fr500__> superjoe: does ubuntu see your wireless nic?
[10:34] <VerdRousseau> I have a .deb file and I want to install it, I double click it but says cant install because of permissions; how do I do this as root?
[10:35] <name> sudo dpkg -i package.deb
[10:35] <sysdoc> IndyGunFreak, system>prefrences>Themes Install Theme
[10:35] <superjoe> i don't think so, where do I look/
[10:35] <xtian> i know this isnt ubuntu related, but if i wanted to learn C, and i didnt have much previous knowledge would the "C primer" book (the blue one) be a good choice
[10:35] <ale_> nessuno parla italiano?
[10:35] <fr500__> VerdRousseau: it should try to escalate premissions automatically, anyway gksudo gdebi debfile.deb

[10:35] <fr500__> superjoe: open the network control panel and see if it appears there
[10:36] <AidanL> It is probably better to see if I can get my USB wireless adaptor working before flash drive. How can I go about configuring Ubuntu so that my wireless will work?

[10:37] <dhq> need help setting up bluetooth
[10:38] <dhq> please help
[10:38] <name> that's a really good question
[10:38] <name> what about some information like what blootooth device etc
[10:38] <VerdRousseau> where do you find gtkwifi on your desktop?
[10:38] <billstei> !udev

[10:38] <Everflex> what option do i need to make in /etc/fstab so i can read/write without root?
[10:38] <name> man chmod

[10:39] <trev__> isntalled tremulous as root but now i can't permantenly change options, would changing the owner back to me fix this?
[10:39] <AidanL> My wireless isn't even being picked up:(. It shows up when I do lsusb in Terminal.
[10:40] <fr500__> AidanL try ndiswrapper
[10:40] <kitche> trev__: no since tremulous makes a fodler in your home folder called .tremulous
[10:40] <Everflex> kitche: thx, i'll have a look ;)
[10:40] <trev__> kitche:that folder has padlock icon over it
[10:41] <fredl> hi guys, is it against channel rules to ask for people to help with an opensource project?
[10:41] <tritium> fredl: no
[10:41] <AidanL> My problem is, is that I can't get ndiswrapper installed because my USB isn't being picked up therefore I cannot transfer the ndiswrapper files over to Ubuntu.
[10:41] <fr500__> AidanL try ndiswrapper
[10:41] <fredl> alright, so I've started this project called 'GLUE'. I could use some help, a LOT of help actually :)
[10:42] <fredl> if you want to check out what it is, check http://glue.3dn.nl
[10:42] <AidanL> fr500. How can I try it if I cannot get the ndiswrapper files onto Ubuntu?
[10:42] <pegger_> is it here the xfce guru?
[10:42] <AidanL> I can't get the files on because my USB stick isn't being picked up...:(
[10:42] <nolimitsoya> !justask | pegger
[10:42] <name> !meta
[10:42] <ubotu> pegger: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about meta - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:43] <fredl> it's not the fastest site on the planet since it's at my DSL connection :-)
[10:43] <fr500__> Aidan weird
[10:43] <nolimitsoya> fredl, whats the purpouse of this project?
[10:43] <AidanL> Yeah I know...
[10:43] <pegger_> what is the different if i install the xubuntu or install the xfce for the ubuntu?
[10:44] <VerdRousseau> just ran sudo dpkg -i gtkwifi.deb; dont know where to find it on my desktop?
[10:44] <fredl> nolimitsoya, the purpose is described on http://wiki.3dn.nl/index.php/GLUE
[10:44] <nolimitsoya> pegger_, the xubuntu package will include loads (diffrent) of defaults and some common apps
[10:44] <fredl> nolimitsoya, the description is fairly terse however.
[10:45] <rogue780> can someone reccomend a text-based gcc IDE similar to RHIDE for djgpp?
[10:45] <fredl> Either way, 'GLUE' is supposed to be a layer on top of the so many existing version control / bugtracking / SCM products.
[10:45] <dhq> name: mine is a intel laptop with bluetooth nuiltin
[10:45] <dhq> builtin
[10:46] <s34n> what do I have to do to discover and mount existing lvm volumes?
[10:46] <fredl> does that make enough sense?
[10:46] <rogue780> can someone reccomend a text-based gcc IDE?
[10:46] <rogue780> besides emacs
[10:46] <fredl> IDE?
[10:46] <HymnToLife> vim :)
[10:46] <nolimitsoya> rogue780, bash+vi? ;)
[10:47] <VerdRousseau> Anyone know where to find gtkwifi?
[10:47] <fredl> yeah.. haha, text based IDE = bash
[10:47] <ExM3th1x> could anybody tell me how to enable overburn in gnomebaker?
[10:47] <ExM3th1x> iam using version 0.6.0
[10:47] <ExM3th1x> (edgy)
[10:47] <trev__> ok, i am playing tremulous, can anyone tell me what to set the permissions to its config file in my home folder so i can save my options?
[10:47] <fr500__> VerdRousseau: i guess you gotta add it to the panel, right click the panel and add it, should try networkmanager tho
[10:47] <nolimitsoya> trev__, chown username:group /folder
[10:47] <nolimitsoya> *-r
[10:47] <fredl> anybody have any comment/questions on GLUE ?
[10:47] <trev__> ok, thx
[10:48] <VerdRousseau> do you have to install network manager or where is it?
[10:48] <nolimitsoya> fredl, im not sure... what would be diffrent from, say, launchpad?
[10:48] <tritium> VerdRousseau: no, you don't have to, but if you want to, you certainly can
[10:48] <VerdRousseau> I mean is it already installed?
[10:48] <fredl> nolimitsoya, well it's not a bugtracking system OR a version control system itself.....
[10:48] <mnoir> pegger_: if you install xfce on top of ubuntu you will have all the gnome tools as well.  There is not a very great difference.  maybe #xubuntu would be a good place to discuss
[10:48] <dhq> need help setting up bluetooth i cannot discover bluetooth from my cell nothing i am using a intel dell latitude d505 laptop bluetooth builtin
[10:49] <nolimitsoya> fredl, right... so its just a web interface?
[10:49] <trev__> nolimitsoya:what do you set the group to
[10:49] <fredl> nolimitsoya, it's supposed to be an application that keeps track of software modules, in which version control system they're kept, which bugtracking system is used for it etc.
[10:49] <superjoe_> anyone willing to help me connect to my wireles network from hp laptop w ubuntu
[10:49] <nolimitsoya> trev__, whatever group you belong to
[10:49] <VerdRousseau> so you reccomend network manager over gtkwifi?
[10:49] <pegger_> thanx mnoir
[10:49] <mnoir> np good luck
[10:49] <trev__> nolimitsoya:im a little confused, what group does the default user usually belong to?
[10:50] <fredl> nolimitsoya, nope, not quite. When the database is populated, GLUE should be able to use all this information to generate 'releases' coming from different repositories/bugtracking systems.
[10:50] <nolimitsoya> trev__, same as your username
[10:50] <trev__> ok
[10:50] <trev__> nolimitsoya:thx
[10:50] <mnoir> trev__: by convention, every user belongs to a group of the same name as the user.  the first user you make when installing also belongs to many other groups
[10:51] <fiveiron> where are HDDs mounted now?  not in /etc/fstab anymore i see
[10:51] <fritsch> hi! is there a way to just build the "generic" kernel from the 2.6.20 feisty kernel
[10:51] <fritsch> it lasted over 5 hours to build me the whole stuff from this package
[10:51] <mnoir> trev__: to see, in terminal type 'grep username /etc/group'
[10:51] <mnoir> or just 'less /etc/group'
[10:52] <trev__> thx
[10:52] <tritium> fritsch: don't bother unless you absolutely need to
[10:52] <tk_> hey.. how do i reinstall the x server on ubuntu 6.10?
[10:52] <fredl> nolimitsoya, additionally, GLUE should be able to generate (automatically) things like RPM's, DEB's etc. depending on the component's settings.
[10:52] <fritsch> tritium: there must be an option, an argument i think?
[10:52] <stooge4ever> hey, my liveCD won't boot - on 6.06, errors appear having to do with the ide and hdc, and on 6.10, the screen freezes while the OS is booting up; i think they freeze at around the same place
[10:53] <tritium> fritsch: nope
[10:53] <tritium> fritsch: Why are you building a custom kernel?  Do you really need to?
[10:53] <fritsch> tritium: yes i do
[10:53] <fritsch> tritium: i build kernels now over five years, so this is not the problem, i just wanted to stick to the ubuntu packages
[10:54] <tritium> fritsch: what is the need that the stock kernel does not address for you?
[10:54] <fredl> nolimitsoya, am I making any sense? :-)
[10:54] <fritsch> tritium: some patches, for exampe acpi ones
[10:54] <fritsch> tritium: and the ubuntu version is more integrated
[10:54] <fritsch> tritium: i do not have to google hours to search important patches and apply them myself
[10:54] <nolimitsoya> fredl, some. :) a more stringent description on the website, and a link to a faq, would probably be helpfull in generating more intrest :)
[10:55] <tritium> fritsch: if you want packages, be sure to install kernel-package and use make-kpkg
[10:55] <fritsch> tritium: some even get rejected, i have to fix them to apply mysel
[10:55] <fritsch> tritium: okay ;-) sorry, i do not think you can really help me
[10:55] <fredl> nolimitsoya, hey I built what I have in 4 days and I'm just cranking away at coding, I have no time to document stuff yet!
[10:55] <fredl> :)
[10:55] <tritium> fritsch: you haven't asked anything
[10:55] <fritsch> tritium: as i said above, i build debian kernel images for years now
[10:55] <fritsch> tritium: i did
[10:55] <AidanL> How do I get to root in terminal as I need to get to root in order to "make install" for ndiswrapper.
[10:55] <fritsch> tritium: i get the linux-image source from the feisty kernel
[10:56] <nolimitsoya> fredl, but without it, you wont have much luck recruiting, and thats what you wanted, wasnt it?
[10:56] <fritsch> tritium: agfter that i ran a dpkg-buildpackage to compile it on edgy
[10:56] <fredl> nolimitsoya, just imagine... 'glue build UBUNTU.ubuntu.org'
[10:56] <nolimitsoya> ^^
[10:56] <fritsch> tritium: problem is: bigiron, 386, etc. kernels are build this needs 5 hours
[10:56] <doviende> AidanL: "sudo make install"
[10:56] <fritsch> tritium: i just want to compile the generic version
[10:56] <tritium> You can't, as I said, from the linux-source packages
[10:57] <fritsch> tritium: i think i can, i just look into debian/rules
[10:57] <AidanL> ok thanks.
[10:57] <fredl> that should hopefully explain it better :) that command should get a list of all components in UBUNTU.ubuntu.org, for each of the components it should check all packages for open bugs, check out the revisions from the respective version control systems, and build debs!
[10:57] <fritsch> tritium: but i thought somebody has it handy for me already
[10:57] <AidanL> it tells me no rule to make target 'install'
[10:57] <Commander-Crowe> hi! I have Ubuntu Drapper installed and my wireless card shows up in the networking app. Yet I'm not able to connect to the local wireless router
[10:57] <zcherus> can someone recommend me good sftp daemon and possibly a guide for setting it up (including fxps)
[10:58] <doviende> Commander-Crowe: what did you use to attempt to connect?
[10:58] <fredl> nolimitsoya, but you're right.... I'll document the purpose more clearly and come back and ask more :)
[10:58] <stooge4ever> does anybody know whether there are compatibility issues b/t the ubuntu liveCD and an ATI Radeon card?
[10:58] <fritsch> tritium: just found it
[10:58] <Commander-Crowe> the networking app that comes with drapper
[10:58] <zcherus> !fxps
[10:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fxps - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:58] <AidanL> stooge4ever - I don't think it is, I had trouble.
[10:58] <fredl> drapper?
[10:58] <fritsch> tritium: in debian/control i just comment out the packages i do not need
[10:58] <doviende> Commander-Crowe: and is your wireless router using WEP or WPA or no encryption?
[10:58] <mnoir> AidanL: then you are not in the right place or not following directions or using a package that is not conventionally made
[10:58] <stooge4ever> AidanL, you don't think what is?
[10:59] <hjmills> what stuff do i need to install for java in firefox?
[10:59] <Commander-Crowe> doviende: there is no encryption
[10:59] <mnoir> !java
[10:59] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[10:59] <mwe> !java | hjmills
[10:59] <ubotu> hjmills: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[10:59] <AidanL> I don't think that ATI radeon cards a compatible
[10:59] <braddcadd2000> Anyone willing to help configure my scanner through xsane?
[10:59] <mwe> hjmills: it comes with the plugin as well
[10:59] <stooge4ever> so what should i do? revert to my orig. card?
[10:59] <hjmills> mnoir and mwe: thanks
[11:00] <mnoir> hth :)
[11:00] <AidanL> because I had major problems using Live CD. I ended up downloading the ALT download and then recongifuring the x-server and set the driver as Versa (I think) and NOT ATI.
[11:00] <doviende> Commander-Crowe: ok, open a terminal and type "sudo iwlist scanning" and tell me if it sees your wireless router there
[11:00] <hjmills> mwe: that was the important bit - i didnt know if that was the plugin and all
[11:00] <AidanL> You could try although im not sure what that would do.
[11:00] <mwe> hjmills: come back if you can't get java to work in your browser after you have installed that
[11:00] <VerdRousseau> Now I just downloaded and installed network manager but not sure where It shows up have no idea where it is?
[11:00] <mwe> hjmills: you probably need to create a symlink. We'll explain how
[11:00] <stooge4ever> well, my original card (still in the comp) is integrated with the oard, and it's worked before with dapper
[11:00] <hjmills> VerdRousseau: eurgh - fiddled with that earlier - always seems to break my pc - good luck
[11:01] <Musashi> what
[11:01] <mnoir> verd - if you know synaptic - use it to locate any file in the package
[11:01] <HentaiSushi_> um
[11:01] <Commander-Crowe> Ib see 4
[11:01] <HentaiSushi_> i tried the live cd and it wouldnt run
[11:01] <AidanL> stooge: you could try that then.
[11:01] <pista> i've updated to feisty alpha, and now my sata2 drive (asus p5b-e, jmicron ich8) is slow (hdparm -tT /dev/hda shows buffered disk read 3MBps). what can be the problem?
[11:01] <adamE> alright
[11:01] <Commander-Crowe> all say "Interfernce doesn't support scanning."
[11:01] <Twinxor> how should I format this USB stick so it's all one partition?
[11:01] <VerdRousseau> so what do I do with synaptic mnoir (kinda confused)
[11:01] <BHSPitMonkey> pista, #ubuntu+1
[11:02] <mwe> pista: the problem could be that fiesty is totally unstable
[11:02] <doviende> Commander-Crowe: hmm....ok, i guess there's still some problem with drivers or something
[11:02] <Commander-Crowe> except eth1 it says "Interfernce doesn't support sscanning. : No Such Device"
[11:02] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: i will start at beginning - how did you install it?
[11:02] <doviende> Commander-Crowe: what type of wireless device?
[11:02] <Commander-Crowe> eth1 is wireless adapter
[11:02] <VerdRousseau> through synaptic
[11:02] <mwe> Commander-Crowe: iwconfig
[11:02] <Commander-Crowe> doviende: so what? install ndiswrapper?
[11:02] <Commander-Crowe> doviende: I'm not sure
[11:02] <mnoir> ok - is synaptic still open?
[11:02] <AidanL> Could someone assist me with the install of ndiswrapper. I am struggling... again.
[11:02] <VerdRousseau> yes
[11:02] <Tann> Ji
[11:03] <Tann> Hi
[11:03] <phr34ck> is there a way to save all currently installed packages into an external or something ?
[11:03] <Commander-Crowe> IEEE 802.11b/g
[11:03] <mwe> AidanL: you got to a little more specific ;)
[11:03] <Commander-Crowe> Broadcom 4306
[11:03] <Tann> where can i download ndiswrapper for Edgy?
[11:03] <mwe> AidanL: got to be*
[11:03] <BHSPitMonkey> AidanL, can you get the computer in question on the internet somehow? (so you can install stuff.)
[11:03] <fritsch> phr34ck: you think as kind of backup?
[11:03] <mnoir> good - go to settings - preferences
[11:03] <AidanL> No.
[11:03] <phr34ck> fritsch,  yes
[11:03] <VerdRousseau> alright
[11:03] <doviende> Commander-Crowe: ohhh....broadcom.  this should be interesting ;)
[11:03] <mnoir> make sure show package props is clicked
[11:03] <Tann> Hello
[11:03] <HentaiSushi_> omg TIME OUT HENTAISUSHI
[11:03] <fritsch> phr34ck: i would suggest you to use partimage
[11:03] <phr34ck> because I downloaded so many updates, and I don't want to do that each time I install Ubuntu.
[11:03] <Tann> where can i download ndiswrapper for Edgy?
[11:03] <VerdRousseau> k
[11:03] <BHSPitMonkey> AidanL, is this edgy we're talking about?
[11:03] <AidanL> Yeah:)
[11:03] <mnoir> click ok
[11:04] <doviende> Commander-Crowe: ok, hold on, let me find some URLs on ubuntuforums.org for you
[11:04] <VerdRousseau> k
[11:04] <AidanL> I am using a USB stick to transfer the ndiswrapper tar.gz file.
[11:04] <mnoir> use search to find pkg you installed
[11:04] <Commander-Crowe> doviende: its an inspiron 1150 laptop
[11:04] <Tann> Hello?
[11:04] <fritsch> phr34ck: this save your whole partition, tars it and here you go
[11:04] <Commander-Crowe> ok
[11:04] <mwe> AidanL: source code?
[11:04] <VerdRousseau> k
[11:04] <Tann> I need help
[11:04] <phr34ck> fritsch, will give it a try thanks.
[11:04] <doviende> Commander-Crowe: i think all we need to know is that it's a broadcom 4306
[11:04] <mwe> AidanL: can you extract it and compile?
[11:04] <mnoir> make sure is highlit and click installed files tab
[11:05] <AidanL> I can extraxt it yes
[11:05] <fritsch> phr34ck: be careful to save the image to another partition
[11:05] <AidanL> extract*
[11:05] <VerdRousseau> k
[11:05] <mwe> AidanL: but not compile?
[11:05] <fritsch> phr34ck: you cannot backup a partition and write the backup to it
[11:05] <phr34ck> fritsch,  sure.
[11:05] <Tann> Hello?
[11:05] <fritsch> Tann: hello!
[11:05] <phr34ck> First I have to search for the software ;p
[11:05] <AidanL> I don't think so. But I am not sure. (forgive me, I am new to all this)
[11:05] <fritsch> phr34ck: sudo apt-get install partimage
[11:05] <mnoir> prolly many files - look for it in a dir with /bin/ in the string
[11:05] <phr34ck> aha, great.
[11:05] <Tann> fritsch: where can i download ndiswrapper for Edgy?
[11:05] <mwe> AidanL: you need to install linux-headers-$(uname -r) and build-essential or else it wont compile
[11:05] <phr34ck> Thanks.
[11:05] <hjmills> AidanL: try getting the deb from packages.ubuntu.com and installing that
[11:05] <fritsch> Tann: apt-cache search ndiswrapper
[11:05] <fritsch> Tann: perhaps it is already installed
[11:06] <VerdRousseau> mnoir-what are we looking for?
[11:06] <Tann> i don't have internet
[11:06] <fritsch> Tann: you are online now?
[11:06] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: network manager?
[11:06] <Tann> it is not installed
[11:06] <fritsch> Tann: ndiswrapper is already patched in the ubuntu kernel
[11:06] <fritsch> Tann: you just need the utils
[11:06] <Tann> fritsch: on a different
[11:06] <Tann> comp
[11:06] <AidanL> Ok mwe and hjmills. I will try that.
[11:06] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: look for files in /usr/bin
[11:07] <fritsch> Tann: just apt-get it on you current and copy the deb file from /var/cache/apt/archives/
[11:07] <doviende> Commander-Crowe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902&highlight=broadcom+4306
[11:07] <fritsch> Tann: to the other one
[11:07] <doviende> Commander-Crowe: that seems to be for your wireless adapter
[11:07] <mwe> AidanL: building from source and installing a binary .deb are fundamentally different ;)
[11:07] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: 6.06 or 6.10?
[11:07] <Tann> fritsch: my current has win
[11:07] <VerdRousseau> k here /usr/bin/nm-appplet?
[11:07] <fritsch> Tann: ah perhaps better ;-)
[11:07] <VerdRousseau> 6.10
[11:07] <AidanL> I see.
[11:07] <phr34ck> meh, it's not connecting to archive.ubuntu.com
[11:07] <Commander-Crowe> ok
[11:07] <fritsch> Tann: just go to packages.ubuntu.com
[11:07] <mnoir> ah - great - i can show you how to make a click for it...
[11:07] <BHSPitLappy> For all of you who need to set up ndiswrapper, and don't have an internet connection on that computer, I have collected some useful Wifi packages for edgy, you can find them here: http://bhs2007.googlepages.com/edgy-wifi.zip
[11:07] <Tann> ok
[11:07] <fritsch> phr34ck: wrong proxy?
[11:07] <doviende> Commander-Crowe: unfortunately this type of wireless adapter seems to take more effort than others
[11:07] <VerdRousseau> alright...
[11:08] <fritsch> Tann: remeber to fetch the right version
[11:08] <phr34ck> ahhh it's working now
[11:08] <mwe> if you use the applet to install the network it will only work if gnome is running wont it?
[11:08] <BHSPitLappy> Put those on some kind of disk and install them on the PC... they'll all even fit on a floppy
[11:08] <Tann> fritsch: k
[11:08] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: you are running gnome or kde?
[11:08] <phr34ck> fritsch,  I want to ask you. How can I "permentaly" change the mac addres?
[11:08] <arn0ld> Hi I'm having a problem with my mouse, the sensitivity is still way too high in games even with the lowest settings on
[11:08] <MuffY>  what is everyones favourite text editor
[11:08] <VerdRousseau> gnome
[11:08] <MuffY> as in code editor (C/C++ code)
[11:08] <mwe> MuffY: that's a religous question ;)
[11:08] <fritsch> phr34ck: permanent, also when your computer is poered off
[11:08] <phr34ck> each time I boot Ubuntu, I go to change the mac address .. it's a pain in the behind.
[11:08] <MuffY> i know :P
[11:08] <fritsch> phr34ck: no go (for easy)
[11:08] <mnoir> k - right click your bar at the top
[11:08] <hjmills> MuffY: vim
[11:08] <MuffY> but i have no idea now
[11:08] <mnoir> in a blank area
[11:08] <arn0ld> does anyone know of a way I can manually edit the mouse sensitivity?
[11:08] <fritsch> phr34ck: but you could run a random mac change script
[11:08] <mwe> MuffY: probably vim or emacs
[11:08] <Commander-Crowe> doviende: yeah I'm used to ndiswraper...its all I ever used
[11:09] <MuffY> so after the rampage i'll have some options to choose from
[11:09] <VerdRousseau> k
[11:09] <MuffY> woo
[11:09] <MuffY> ty peeps
[11:09] <fritsch> phr34ck: just install macchanger
[11:09] <phr34ck> fritsch, Do you think it will be easy to create a script and run it at boot ?
[11:09] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: first item should be add to panel - clickit
[11:09] <fritsch> phr34ck: very easy
[11:09] <MuffY> will check now, and please don't start a holy war while i'm gone =p
[11:09] <fritsch> phr34ck: sudo apt-get install macchanger
[11:09] <doviende> Commander-Crowe: if everything's working, you should be able to see the card in iwconfig and you should be able to scan with iwlist
[11:09] <phr34ck> Kay, will do.
[11:09] <VerdRousseau> k
[11:09] <arn0ld> can anyone help
[11:09] <VerdRousseau> now custom app launch?
[11:09] <fritsch> phr34ck: after that just look over the readme
[11:09] <mwe> !helpme
[11:09] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:09] <mnoir> you get big window of stuff?
[11:09] <VerdRousseau> yes
[11:09] <hjmills> arn0ld: its in the gnome mouse setting panel
[11:10] <Commander-Crowe> doviende: ok...right now I'm using the eth0 connection
[11:10] <phr34ck> fritsch, thanks a lot.
[11:10] <arn0ld> its already lowest there
[11:10] <mnoir> it should be somewhere there
[11:10] <bds> MuffY: Try typing vimtutor
[11:10] <fritsch> phr34ck: no problem
[11:10] <bds> MuffY: to get you started
[11:10] <arn0ld> The problem is I need it lower
[11:10] <MuffY> ?
[11:10] <VerdRousseau> the network manager should be
[11:10] <MuffY> here?
[11:10] <mnoir> yes
[11:10] <MuffY> !vimtutor
[11:10] <hjmills> arn0ld: why lower?
[11:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vimtutor - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:10] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: yes
[11:10] <bds> MuffY: Not here, vimtutuor is a tutorial on how to use vim
[11:10] <phr34ck> fritsch, partimage will save all these packages, yes ?
[11:10] <arn0ld> Need it lower to play a game
[11:10] <VerdRousseau> no only thing is network monitor but already have that
[11:10] <mwe> figuring out how to quit emacs the first time can be a challenge as well ;)
[11:10] <mnoir> hrmmmm
[11:10] <bds> MuffY: It has a little bit of a learning curve
[11:10] <fritsch> phr34ck: it will same your partition
[11:10] <MuffY> bds: ah, on the internets?
[11:10] <fritsch> phr34ck: as an image
[11:10] <VerdRousseau> do I haved to do a custom app launch?
[11:11] <Tann> fritsch: i am lost
[11:11] <MuffY> bds: i don;t mind
[11:11] <bds> MuffY: From the command line
[11:11] <MuffY> bds: i have the time
[11:11] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: are you running 6.06 or 6.10?
[11:11] <BHSPitMonkey> AidanL, Tann, have you got the ndiswrapper stuff figured out?
[11:11] <phr34ck> So lets say I have formatted my computer, how can I restore it?
[11:11] <fritsch> phr34ck: you just want to save the "downloaded" pacakges?
[11:11] <MuffY> (and hopefully the patience)
[11:11] <Tann> fritsch: do i need the common and utils?
[11:11] <MuffY> ?
[11:11] <MuffY> nono
[11:11] <VerdRousseau> 6.10
[11:11] <fritsch> phr34ck: you boot with lets say knoppix (or something else)
[11:11] <phr34ck> fritsch, yeah something like that.
[11:11] <MuffY> i just want something to write code in
[11:11] <mnoir> give me 2 min to find on my sys
[11:11] <VerdRousseau> k
[11:11] <bds> MuffY: It is very similar to vi, which should be installed on any unix like machine
[11:11] <fritsch> phr34ck: then you run partimage an just play your old image in
[11:11] <MuffY> with syntax highlighting and such
[11:11] <phr34ck> Like yesterday, I updated 82 packages and it took the whole day.
[11:11] <pianoboy3333> Anyone here good with ndiswrapper?
[11:11] <mwe> MuffY: emacs. don't believe people who tell you to use vim ;)
[11:11] <phr34ck> I don't want that to happen when I install ubuntu ...
[11:11] <fritsch> phr34ck: some packages are in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[11:12] <AidanL> I have installed ndiswrapper from a .dab package. Whereabouts will it be stored so I can access it?
[11:12] <fritsch> phr34ck: but i do not think just saving them ist sufficant
[11:12] <BHSPitLappy> pianoboy3333, everybody's going nuts over ndiswrapper right now :S
[11:12] <AidanL> I have found it. Forgive me.
[11:12] <bds> MuffY: Emacs or Vi/Vim are both good choices for writing code
[11:12] <tritium> AidanL: via apt?  /var/cache/apt/archives
[11:12] <mwe> AidanL: if it worked, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper should work
[11:12] <fritsch> phr34ck: because having the packages is not a mirror itself (a packages mirror)
[11:12] <phr34ck> well, I think will make an imagine and will learn how to make work and everything.
[11:12] <MuffY> ok
[11:12] <bds> MuffY: Syntax highlighting, code folding, etc.
[11:12] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: i am installing - 2 more min :)
[11:12] <dev> i just installed ubuntu like a day ago, went to play a clip on cnn in firefox and it says totem is unable to handle mms
[11:12] <VerdRousseau> k no problem
[11:13] <Argoran> can sb help me with xchat?
[11:13] <MuffY> soo, where is vim :o
[11:13] <bds> MuffY: I prefer vim, but as mwe pointed out it is a personal preference
[11:13] <phr34ck> fritsch,  form where I can launch those 2 programs you gave me?
[11:13] <fritsch> Tann: whats the problem?
[11:13] <MuffY> you said it should be here somewhere :p
[11:13] <fritsch> phr34ck: just open a terminal
[11:13] <fritsch> phr34ck: sudo partimage
[11:13] <phr34ck> ahh okay
[11:13] <Tann> what files shoud download
[11:13] <MuffY> (i installed ubuntu about 8 hours ago, so i'm a bit new =))
[11:13] <fritsch> phr34ck: but, one last time, be very careful
[11:13] <mwe> MuffY: yeah. try them both. I was just promoting my personal favorite ;)
[11:13] <phr34ck> fritsch, will do mate.
[11:13] <bds> MuffY: Open a terminal and type 'vimtutor'
[11:13] <Argoran> who can I activate the buddylist in xchat on the right side?
[11:13] <BHSPitLappy> Tann, where are you at with this?
[11:13] <phr34ck> One question ... like now, where did they get saved?
[11:13] <Tann> fritsch: do i need the common and utils?
[11:13] <MuffY> yay!
[11:14] <fritsch> Tann: i think the ndiswrapper stuff is already installed
[11:14] <bds> MuffY: or to cut to the chase type 'vim'
[11:14] <phr34ck> I did install the package, but where did they got installed?
[11:14] <fritsch> Tann: mom i check on a fresh edgy
[11:14] <fritsch> Tann: ah they are not
[11:14] <Tann> ok
[11:14] <MuffY> bash says vimtutor is nonexistent
[11:14] <AidanL> There was a fatal error when doing sudo modprove ndiswrapper. There was an invalid argument.
[11:14] <Argo> Hi
[11:14] <Tann> fritsch: what should i do?
[11:14] <mwe> MuffY: sudo aptitude install vim
[11:14] <Argo> can anybody help me with XChat?
[11:14] <MuffY>     version 7.0.35
[11:14] <fritsch> Tann: try to download these: ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.8
[11:14] <MuffY> ~                           by Bram Moolenaar et al.  << that's a dutchie =)
[11:15] <mwe> MuffY: oh
[11:15] <fritsch> Tann: two packages
[11:15] <mwe> odd
[11:15] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, have you set up your card yet, in ndiswrapper? given it the driver, etc?
[11:15] <AidanL> No
[11:15] <AidanL> I don't know where to find the driver. That is a problem I am having/
[11:15] <tritium> AidanL: you installed the ubuntu package, I hope?
[11:15] <fritsch> Tann: later they are installed with: sudo dpkg -i "the above named packeges"
[11:15] <MuffY> at least his name is dutch
[11:15] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, you get the driver from the manufacturer's CD or site...
[11:15] <mwe> MuffY: vim is supposed to provide vimtutor
[11:15] <AidanL> Tritium, I did yes.
[11:15] <AidanL> I see.
[11:15] <tritium> good
[11:15] <BHSPitLappy> you'll find an inf file somewhere
[11:15] <VerdRousseau> when I do install network manager which one do I click on regular network manager or network manager gnome?
[11:16] <bds> mwe: I thought it did as well o_0
[11:16] <Tann> fritsch: ok
[11:16] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: in terminal type man nm-applet to read about this.  I am not quickly finding good answer for you so you may as well read along - I will race you to the answer :)
[11:16] <AidanL> I will do that now then. I am very sorry about this. I am new to Ubuntu.
[11:16] <tritium> AidanL: no need to apologize :)
[11:16] <mwe> bds: it does I'm sure ;) odd
[11:16] <VerdRousseau> lol alright soudn good but did you see that question before that
[11:16] <BHSPitLappy> VerdRousseau, to install, you get the -gnome
[11:16] <VerdRousseau> about which one to install
[11:16] <MuffY> uhm, bds, vim doesn;t really look splendid
[11:16] <AidanL> :)
[11:16] <VerdRousseau> K
[11:16] <MuffY> what did i do wrong
[11:16] <VerdRousseau> cause I am doin a reinstall of it
[11:16] <MuffY> it's just a terminal window :/
[11:16] <mwe> MuffY: yes ;)
[11:16] <Argoran> can anybody help me with xchat?
[11:16] <bds> MuffY: That is the learning curve part
[11:17] <MuffY> :p
[11:17] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, no problem. Ndiswrapper isn't a wireless driver, it's something that lets you use Windows wireless card drivers in linux.
[11:17] <mwe> MuffY: now start typing ;)
[11:17] <fritsch> phr34ck: an apt proxy you could also install
[11:17] <MuffY> i did
[11:17] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: where did it show before?
[11:17] <Everflex> how do i make a Volume behave like the /home directory (so i can write to it without root)
[11:17] <Madpilot> Argoran, lots of people here use it - just ask your question, you should get help...
[11:17] <VerdRousseau> Never mind it installs both when you click one
[11:17] <Cypher> how can i daul boot with windows
[11:17] <fritsch> Everflex: you have to mount it correctly
[11:17] <bds> Is vimtutor a seperate package?
[11:17] <MuffY> but it doesn;t highlight anything =(
[11:17] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, did you get that link I sent out earlier? It contains ndisgtk, it makes it a -tad- easier, and it also includes some other useful wifi packages.
[11:17] <Cypher> menu.lst need to be configured
[11:17] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: you all set?
[11:17] <mwe> MuffY: :q! to quit or :w to save the file. it will use highlighting by default I think. there is gvim if you want a more windows like thingy
[11:17] <Argoran> ok thx Madpilot
[11:17] <Cypher> how to do that
[11:17] <MuffY> bds: you shouldn't ask me =p
[11:17] <phr34ck> fritsch, I'm looking for something that will do my work at boot time. Like each time I want to change the mac-address "and that happens each time I want to connect to the internet", I do the following:
[11:18] <bds> MuffY: It does, you need to se up your .vimrc file
[11:18] <phr34ck> sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[11:18] <Everflex> fritsch: i'm mounting it with fstab, but i just can't find an option that does what i want.
[11:18] <phr34ck> sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether MACADDRESS
[11:18] <hjmills> MuffY: run "sudo updatedb && locate vimrc" then edit that file and turn syntax highlighting on
[11:18] <Argoran> my problem with XChat is following: The buddylist should normally be on the right of the windows, but it isn't
[11:18] <phr34ck> sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[11:18] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, http://bhs2007.googlepages.com/edgy-wifi.zip
[11:18] <AidanL> It is telling me that HArdware isn't present. Although it is.
[11:18] <phr34ck> I just want these 3 steps to be done at boot time.
[11:18] <Argoran> can anybody give me a advice how to activate the buddy-list?
[11:18] <fritsch> Everflex: umask set correctly?
[11:18] <mwe> MuffY: it should hightlight depending on the extension by default I think
[11:18] <BHSPitLappy> Argoran, there's #xchat for xchat support
[11:19] <Argoran> thank you BHSPitLappy
[11:19] <fritsch> Everflex: /dev/sda2 /media/sda2     ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[11:19] <fritsch> Everflex: this is an example
[11:19] <fr500__> Argoran: see the icon that says 925 users?
[11:19] <fritsch> Everflex: the device /dev/Sda2 is mounted to /media/sda2 <- this is a local directory, this must exist
[11:19] <MuffY> hjmills: it gives a "how to use apt-get" thing
[11:19] <fr500__> click there
[11:19] <MuffY> so i think the syntax isn;t right
[11:19] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, hmm. and you gave it the proper .inf file?
[11:19] <hjmills> MuffY: that update db && ... command?
[11:20] <Argoran> fr500__ no I can't see it
[11:20] <fritsch> phr34ck: just a script like this
[11:20] <MuffY> nm hjmills
[11:20] <Everflex> fritsch: yeah.. i have the drive mounted and all (it's ext3) but i can only write to it with root.,.
[11:20] <hjmills> MuffY: that shouldnt be anything to do with apt
[11:20] <fritsch> phr34ck: #!/bin/sh
[11:20] <AidanL> yes, the name: blkwgu.inf
[11:20] <hjmills> MuffY: kk
[11:20] <MuffY> i saw too many apt-gets today, i lost a bit of your code :P
[11:20] <fritsch> phr34ck: ifconfig eth0 down
[11:20] <fr500__> Argoran: never mind, i'm with xchat-gnome sorry
[11:20] <LinTux> I would like to install Xara Extreme in Kubuntu, what is the command in terminal to use as I cannot find the package?
[11:20] <MuffY> my eeeyyeesss
[11:20] <AidanL> I dragged it into the blank white area and it was trying to install.
[11:20] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, ah, it's a belkin...
[11:20] <Everflex> fritsch: is it possible to use umask with ext3?
[11:20] <mwe> MuffY: only files with extension like .c or whatever will be highlighted in vim I think
[11:20] <Madpilot> Argoran, are you running the real XChat, or the awful & useless XChat-Gnome?
[11:20] <AidanL> Yeah...
[11:20] <AidanL> It now says HArdware PResent.
[11:21] <bds> MuffY: This is my .vimrc
[11:21] <BHSPitLappy> good
[11:21] <fritsch> phr34ck: macchanger eth0 "YOUR MAC"
[11:21] <fritsch> phr34ck: thats all
[11:21] <bds> MuffY: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/165/
[11:21] <phr34ck> fritsch, interesting.
[11:21] <Argoran> Madpilot its the gnome version
[11:21] <phr34ck> I should read an articale about how making scripting for boot time.
[11:21] <fritsch> Everflex: you do not need to, just look, that the directory you mount to has the correct permissions
[11:21] <AidanL> Although I don't know what to do next...
[11:21] <phr34ck> Do you know how I can configure my boot >?
[11:21] <MuffY> bds: your what?
[11:21] <LinTux> can anyone help me to install Xara Extreme in Kubuntu
[11:21] <fritsch> phr34ck: easiest way is:
[11:21] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, did you get that link I sent you earlier
[11:21] <phr34ck> Like Ubuntu does some stuff that I don't need "bluetooth and raid and stuff like that"
[11:21] <AidanL> Yeah
[11:21] <Madpilot> Argoran, ick. Ditch that, use the older, better XChat. Xchat-gnome has some sort of goofy popup user list that can't be configured.
[11:22] <AidanL> The Edgy Packages.
[11:22] <fritsch> phr34ck: just append these lines to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[11:22] <Everflex> fritsch: so what should i use to change the permissions to that, chmod?
[11:22] <mwe> bds: syntax highlighting is disabled by default? I guess I must have enabled it without giving thought to it
[11:22] <AidanL> Do I install all of the packages on there?
[11:22] <fritsch> Everflex: chown and chmod
[11:22] <fritsch> Everflex: chown ist enough
[11:22] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, it contains network-manager-gnome, you'll want that.
[11:22] <MuffY> bds: just for the record, i am a total n00b regarding anything ubuntu does
[11:22] <phr34ck> that file is responsible for the boot ?
[11:22] <fritsch> Everflex: lets say you want to mount /dev/hda3 to /media/lala
[11:22] <fritsch> Everflex: an the user "heinz" should be able to write to this directory
[11:22] <bds> MuffY: from a terminal type the following 'vim ~/.vimrc'
[11:22] <AidanL> Righty Ill install that and report back:)
[11:22] <fritsch> just do chown heinz:users /media/lala
[11:22] <BHSPitLappy> aye aye.
[11:23] <Argoran> ok thx Madpilot
[11:23] <fritsch> and mount /dev/hda3 per default to this directory
[11:23] <bds> MuffY: When vim loads press 'i' to insert
[11:23] <LinTux> does anybody know the name for the package Xara Extreme so that I can install it via terminal
[11:23] <bds> MuffY: Type or paste the options you want
[11:23] <mwe> fritsch: permissions of mount points have no effect once a file system is mounted ;)
[11:23] <Tann> fritsch: thanks
[11:23] <mwe> fritsch: only options to mount do
[11:24] <MuffY> ok?
[11:24] <bds> MuffY: Then hit the escape key and type ':wq!'
[11:24] <mwe> fritsch: like umask etc
[11:24] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, just make sure to say my name in here, so I'll notice.
[11:24] <bds> MuffY: Those setting will now be loaded everytime you start vim
[11:24] <AidanL> BHSPitLappy: Ah, it tells me the Dependency is not satisfyable: network Manager.
[11:24] <Everflex> mwe: okay, so is it in the fstab file i cahange wether i can write to the disk or not without root?
[11:24] <fritsch> mwe: you could be write, but chown after the mount should just be enough
[11:24] <MuffY> what's the exclamation mark for?
[11:24] <MuffY> w for saving, q for quit
[11:24] <mwe> Everflex: that or the command line
[11:24] <phr34ck> Guys, what font are you using?
[11:25] <MuffY> ty bds
[11:25] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, all the dependencies are in that archive.
[11:25] <bds> MuffY: np :)
[11:25] <phr34ck> This is soo uncomfortable. I'm using 1280x800 on a 15.4" screen.
[11:25] <hjmills> what symlinks do i need for the repo java to work in firefox?
[11:25] <phr34ck> I couldn't find any good font for that.
[11:25] <mwe> MuffY: ! means don't ask me for confirmation. just do what I tell you. I know what I'm doing
[11:25] <LinTux> Does anybody know the package name for Xara Extreme in order for me to install it via terminal
[11:25] <MuffY> oh
[11:25] <AidanL> BHSPitLappy: Do i need to put all of the .deb packages from the zipped file onto Ubuntu?
[11:26] <MuffY> but i don;t knwo whta i'm doing (yet), and it says some things are wrong, i guess i should have copied the comments xD
[11:26] <VerdRousseau> mnoir- Im restarting maybe thatll do the trick.
[11:26] <stefan09> hi
[11:26] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, pretty much... do all except for wifi-radar for now.
[11:26] <AidanL> Ok :)
[11:26] <kamui> what do I need to put into my /etc/fstab to allow a fat32 external hard drive to automount at boot AND allow any user to write to it?
[11:26] <mwe> MuffY: what does it complain about ?
[11:26] <AidanL> BHSPit: Where abouts should I place them on Ubuntu, Will my desktop do?
[11:26] <kamui> right now I haev /dev/sda1       /media/BACKUP   auto    user,auto       0       0
[11:26] <MuffY> it says your comments aren't valid commands (duhh..)
[11:27] <MuffY> so i'm removing the comments now
[11:27] <alecjw> kamui: if it's jujst the filesystem name that you nned to know, it's vfat
[11:27] <kamui> I thought the USER option there allowed anyone to write to it
[11:27] <mwe> kamui: you need umask=000 as well under options
[11:27] <bds> MuffY: The comment character for .vimrc is ;
[11:27] <kamui> nwe: umask=666?
[11:27] <mwe> kamui: or umask=0000 rather
[11:27] <AidanL> BHSPitLappy: Should I place all of the packages on my desktop?
[11:27] <mwe> kamui: no
[11:27] <bds> MuffY: perhaps there was a problem with the paste
[11:27] <mwe> kamui: it's a mask
[11:28] <MuffY> it says " in your link :P
[11:28] <bds> MuffY: Sorry you are right
[11:28] <mwe> kamui: umask=666 would mean perms read only
[11:28] <bds> MuffY: It should be "
[11:28] <user2007> under edgy eft, what gstreamer deb holds the mp3 codec?
[11:28] <alecjw> kamui: it allows anyone to mount/unmount it. to allow anyone to write it, sudo chmod -hR 777 <mountPoint>
[11:28] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, you can place them all in some directory if you want, and you can install them all at once with a command, or just double click them.
[11:28] <mwe> alecjw: that wont work for fat
[11:28] <stefan09> can someone help me with loading a kernel module please?
[11:28] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, the desktop will work fine.
[11:28] <mwe> kamui: listen to me please.  Like 15 files and more.
[11:30] <mwe> kamui: does it work now? if not paste /etc/fstab to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[11:30] <binarydigit> phr34ck: anjuta
[11:30] <BHSPitLappy> Tann, I like using network-manager for wifi.
[11:30] <bieb> LinuxTux are you trying to install Xara the graphics software?
[11:30] <BULLE> phr34ck: netbeans, eclipse ?
[11:30] <kamui> mwe: gotta remount real quick, seems that since Its also being used by samba, I can't just unmount
[11:30] <bds> MuffY: Vim is different in that it is modal
[11:30] <Tann> ok
[11:30] <mwe> kamui: oh
[11:30] <bds> MuffY: Meaning you are either in edit or read only mode
[11:30] <fr500__> BHSPitLappy: and vpn too!
[11:30] <user2007> fr500__, doesnt seem to be
[11:31] <mwe> kamui: kill samba if you have to
[11:31] <MuffY> bds: that sucks :p
[11:31] <BHSPitLappy> Tann, you can get it (with its dependencies) in this file, if you want http://bhs2007.googlepages.com/edgy-wifi.zip
[11:31] <VerdRousseau> mnoir- I restarted and I have the icon now but its saying no network connection
[11:31] <fr500__> user2007: it's either that or lame
[11:31] <VerdRousseau> even though I have connection
[11:31] <phr34ck> BULLE, I can use eclipse for C++ ?
[11:31] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: that is a totally new problem to me
[11:31] <fritsch> Tann: depends
[11:31] <arrenlex> phr34ck: Yes.
[11:31] <bds> MuffY: It is tough to get used to but some people seems to like it
[11:31] <mwe> phr34ck: if you install the plugin
[11:31] <MuffY> about some things that aren't available in this version
[11:31] <arrenlex> !eclipse-cdt | phr34ck
[11:31] <phr34ck> I was readin the other day about how to install ecplice on Ubuntu ... I quit instantly ;p
[11:31] <MuffY> what's the current version?
[11:31] <ubotu> eclipse-cdt: C/C++ Development Tools for Eclipse. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.1-3 (edgy), package size 17049 kB, installed size 21896 kB
[11:31] <fritsch> Tann: using network-manager is the easiest way
[11:31] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: what are you trying to do  and what have you done to do it?
[11:32] <MuffY> w00t!
[11:32] <MuffY> i installed gvim by myself =)
[11:32] <MuffY> i even made up the commands ^_^
[11:32] <mnoir> VerdRousseau: if it is wireless i am totally lost
[11:32] <mwe> MuffY: woah ;)
[11:32] <MuffY> i feel so 1337 now :p
[11:32] <bds> MuffY: :)
[11:32] <mwe> MuffY: you are indeed
[11:33] <MuffY> |_3t5 T4|_|< |_13|< T|-|15
[11:33] <hjmills> MuffY: vim being modal is gd - most of the time you will be in insert mode and can type v happily but press escape to get out of insert mode and u can jump akk over the text, do find and replace, delete whole blocks of text etc all without the help of a rodent
[11:33] <MuffY> :p
[11:33] <MuffY> don;t worry, i'll stop it
[11:33] <phr34ck> Kay, thanks.

[11:34] <MuffY> arrenlex: i was joking...
[11:34] <phr34ck> I'm downloading anjuta now, will give it a try and then I will install ecplice. I need it since it's an IDE for both C++ and Java, which I use them.
[11:34] <mwe> kamui: yes?
[11:34] <mnoir> MuffY: if yiu are going to use (g)vim their own website is your friend as is #vim
[11:34] <adam_> hi! Is there anyone here who could help me with sound setup in Ubuntu?
[11:34] <Tann> fritsch: ok
[11:34] <arrenlex> MuffY: I know, it was mostly like a "whoa, there actually IS a !leet factoid!!"
[11:34] <MuffY> lol
[11:34] <kamui> mwe: and after a full unmount and mount, not just the -o remount, I was able to create a directory as my regular user ;)
[11:34] <MuffY> ok :P
[11:34] <MuffY> i was surprised too xD
[11:35] <AidanL> BHSPitLappy: I am installing them now.
[11:35] <kamui> mwe: thanks a ton.  Let me just check and makes sure that my samba users can now write to teh drive and I think Ill be in great shape
[11:35] <mwe> kamui: that's great. the umask is working then. does ls -l the mount point confirm it?
[11:35] <AidanL> BHSPITLappy: It keeps telling me that Software Channel is not available. YEt they do install...
[11:35] <VerdRousseau> Anyone here get their network manager working nicely?
[11:35] <AidanL> No ignore me I read it wrong.
[11:35] <MuffY> talk about 1337 h4xorz, read this webcomic: www.megatokyo.com
[11:35] <Madpilot> arrenlex, the bot is the smartest thing in this room, so of course there's a !leet tell ;)
[11:35] <mwe> kamui: well that depends on the samba configuration but mounting it right is a necessity
[11:35] <kamui> mwe: yep, everyting is WRX for owner, user, group, tho Im now the owner...
[11:35] <MuffY> it's funny, and drawn nicely :O (it get's better when you read further)
[11:36] <arrenlex> Madpilot: Well said.

[11:42] <adam_> thx... the problem is that I don't see my lexicon omega in the options, only my onboard intel card

[11:42] <AidanL> I had a problem with one of the packages.

[11:43] <AidanL> Ok, thanks for your help anyway :)

[11:45] <mnoir> lipe_: if all you have is a tarfile then install is running tar on it
[11:45] <bds> ThugRen: Ah, sorry I have not enabled the root user as I have been sticking to sudo :(
[11:45] <Madpilot> ThugRen, you don't really need an active root user in Ubuntu... it's set up to run from sudo instead
[11:45] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, it -might- help to log off and/or reboot at this point.  Can't promise anything, though
[11:45] <jasin> thats where it is, if its not there on your system I dont know what to tell you but thats the default location in eddgy
[11:45] <mnoir> !root | ThugRen
[11:45] <ubotu> ThugRen: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:45] <bds> ThugRen: Did you say you cannot get into your machine now?
[11:45] <AidanL> BHS: I will try that.

[11:45] <high_rogue_speed> i have a question will 6.06 work on an old laptop that wont run anything better than win98?
[11:45] <mnoir> lipe_: that happens?
[11:45] <AidanL> BHSPitLappy: Would it have made any difference of wpagui wouldn't install?
[11:45] <s34n> tyme-: is it available from a convenient repo?
[11:46] <binarydigit> high_rogue_speed: use the livecd and find out
[11:46] <lipe_> mnoir: 'cause i need to know if i need to put some PATH ...
[11:46] <mwe> adam_: people are usually helpful in here. crimsun is _the_ sound guru. I don't think he's around right now though

[11:46] <pike_> high_rogue_speed: xubuntu mightbe a better idea than ubuntu(gnome)
[11:46] <tyme-> s34n:  i don't know, i just did apt-cache search for you
[11:46] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, not really
[11:46] <mnoir> lipe_: did you use sudo for the make install?
[11:46] <AidanL> Ok.
[11:46] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, that one wasn't tied in with the others
[11:46] <crimsun> adam_, hi
[11:46] <lipe_> mnoir: yes
[11:46] <AidanL> I see.
[11:47] <mnoir> lipe_: so the question is?
[11:47] <jasin> Even the ubuntu guide says its located in /boot/grub/

[11:47] <adam_> crimsun! Great, some help. I am trying to get a lexicon omega working on a p4, asus motherboard (p5p800). Connected to this computer through xdmcp... any tips?
[11:47] <lipe_> mnoir: after "make install" what should I do ??

[11:49] <crimsun> adam_, what features aren't working? snd-usb-audio should be able to drive the -basic- inputs/outputs, but you'll need quirks added for the remaining additional ones

[11:50] <mdke_> hi there. What's the best way to use a signature on emails with thunderbird? I've looked around and it seems like I need to put it in a separate file??
[11:50] <MuffY> there is one thing i can say about linux now, afte having used it for a few hours
[11:50] <MuffY> it sure is more fun to use than windows
[11:51] <binarydigit> mdke_: this isnt the thunderbird channel
[11:51] <mdke_> binarydigit: I'm aware of that
[11:51] <coreymon77> is there a wirelss assistant program (like the one for kubuntu) for ubuntu?
[11:51] <MuffY> and you can edit anything =D
[11:51] <mwe> MuffY: completely different though
[11:51] <mdke_> binarydigit: do you deny assistance to people who use Ubuntu on the basis that this isn't the $program channel? if so, no one would get any help
[11:51] <MuffY> ofc
[11:51] <MuffY> but i like it
[11:51] <jasin> corey, yes, gtkwifi
[11:52] <adam_> crumsun: that's pretty much all I need right now. I have two outs and two ins by th look of things. snd_usb_audio is loaded and all, I can change in system preferences, sound to my omega and usb devices but the good old volume control in the panel doesn't find it?!?! Neither does alsamixer or alsamixer gnome. Test sounds worked, but now fail giving me this message:audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudio

[11:55] <jasin> that bot is busy tonight lol
[11:55] <MuffY> i know, but for some reason most people get the free software
[11:55] <MuffY> i wonder why
[11:55] <binarydigit> arrenlex: has to get in shape for the new year
[11:55] <ikonia> I did an update on my laptop from 6.10 to Edgy. After that update my screen savers don't kick in and my "hover" preview of say an audio file doesn't work
[11:56] <MuffY> ;)
[11:56] <ikonia> is this a common thing
[11:56] <sharp15> ok. i'm confused.  i know ubuntu is gnome based, but i installed kde.  is there a reason that would mess with sshd and proftpd?
[11:56] <mwe> MuffY: heh
[11:56] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, oh, sorry to hear that.  I didn't even realize it was USB
[11:56] <AidanL> Yeah it is...
[11:56] <pipas> high rogue use alternate cd and then use ice, it will run great
[11:56] <arrenlex> sharp15: No.
[11:56] <Tann> fritsch: network manager won't install

[11:56] <mnoir> sharp15: no

[11:56] <hjmills> how do i list the size of all the images in a folder in a list?
[11:56] <AidanL> I am guessing it is a bad thing.
[11:56] <adam_> !defaults.pcm.card Omega
[11:56] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, type "ifconfig" in a  terminal
[11:56] <mnoir> sharp15: and ubuntu is debian based, using the gnome window manager, among others :)
[11:57] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, let's see if ndiswrapper created any interfaces for it
[11:57] <MuffY> mwe: i mean, if you're just a desktop user there's not really a point in buying things that might be a bit better than the free ones, but which new features you're not going to use anyway
[11:57] <jasin> mwe, what you shoping for? hehe
[11:57] <crimsun> adam_, and is ``aplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav'' audible?
[11:57] <sharp15> mnoir: that's what i meant.
[11:57] <cntb> where in kUbuntu can I tune current color depth ?

[11:57] <mwe> MuffY: I use linux only for my laptop but I keep windows on the desktop PC so I can play my favorite games
[11:57] <mnoir> sharp15: so what is sshd doing (or not) :}
[11:57] <binarydigit> hjmills: just the size or would using 'ls -la' do?
[11:57] <_Snatch_> can anybody help Tann to connect by wireless
[11:57] <Slart> hjmills: take some imagemagick.. add some bash magic and you're done =)
[11:57] <LinTux> Ubotu: could you give me the command again to put into console as my system crashed
[11:57] <AidanL> BHSPitLappy: There is eth0 and some writing and Lo with some writing. There are no bytes on the eth0 however there is a small amount of packets and bytes.
[11:58] <mwe> MuffY: there is no good alternative for my favorite games. if you're satisfied with frozen-bubble you'll be ok though
[11:58] <sharp15> mnoir: failing before connection attempt.  may have something to do with xinetd.
[11:58] <AidanL> There is a small amount of packets and bytes on the Lo one - BHSPITLAPPY
[11:58] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, try "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" and then try again
[11:58] <pike_> cntb: for kde questions might get better answers '/join kubuntu' there
[11:58] <MuffY> mwe: yeah, i read gaming and linux don't go together (damn game developers), except if you have linux on your xbox :P
[11:58] <Slart> hjmills: there are probably easier ways though.. but I'm guessing that will work
[11:58] <mnoir> sharp15: maybe - log messages?
[11:58] <mwe> MuffY: right
[11:58] <Tann> _Snatch_: fritsch was helping me
[11:58] <_Snatch_> can anybody help Tann to connect by wireless
[11:58] <BHSPitLappy> AidanL, eth0 is probably your ethernet, and lo is just loopback- your machine
[11:58] <AidanL> BHSPitLappy: Fatal Error
[11:58] <AidanL> I see.
