[03:10] <rusher> can anyone walk me through eggdrop?
[03:11] <apokryphos> rusher: perhaps in #egghelp
[03:11] <dreamer> damnit, like, half of the time youtube-vids just hang after 3 seconds, I'm running dapper with flash9
[03:11] <MasterLexx> what was the name of the tool?
[03:11] <MasterLexx> not the ircbot tool.
[03:14] <pdlnhrd> does anyone know if there are stable tools for create/write/read ntfs partitions yet?
[03:15] <whyme> pdlnhrd: AFAIK ntfs write support is still beta...
[03:15] <whyme> :(
[03:15] <MasterLexx> paragon partition manager has some..... they are based on linux
[03:15] <rusher> gparted !
[03:15] <whyme> just install windiz on FAT32 and it won't be a problem though.
[03:15] <MasterLexx> has much less options
[03:15] <rusher> gparted has ntfs support
[03:15] <rusher> gparted live cd has ntfstools
[03:15] <jbfavre> hello everybody, I have a software Raid problem with 3 firewire disks: on boot, the Array always set up in degraded mode. The system founds 1 disk only from 3. Any help please ?
[03:15] <pdlnhrd> whyme:  fat32 doesn't support 300 gigs and a few thousand files very well
[03:15] <jrib> dreamer: yeah, flash9 is buggy.  That happens to me too
[03:15] <whyme> not ntfs write... assuming that's what pdlnhrd wanted?
[03:16] <partisan> anybody use Mint? is it a pretty solid Ubuntu distro?
[03:16] <Slart> jbfavre: perhaps the disks aren't ready when you start the array?
[03:16] <jrib> partisan: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:16] <whyme> pdlnhrd: lol, no it doesn't... but it can support 200gb partitions... I guess it's a round about way, until NTFS write is stable....
[03:16] <whyme> partisan: mint?
[03:16] <jbfavre> Slart: it effectively seems to be that but how can I change this ?
[03:16] <whyme> !mint
[03:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mint - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:16] <MasterLexx> why don't you make a single partiton for your windows, and a big one for your windows files, you can use ext2 for it then
[03:16] <dreamer> jrib: that sucks !
[03:17] <clop> hi, i'm trying to get mplayer with xvmc running on edgy; i got the nvidia drivers and added libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1 to /etc/X11/XvMCConfig, but when I run mplayer -vo xvmc -vc ffmpeg12mc, i get the error: forced video codec: ffmpeg12mc, cannot find codec matching...
[03:17] <Slart> jbfavre: hmm..  I vaguely remember something about changing order of modules loaded etc when I read about software raid.. I don't know it by heart though.. sorry
[03:17] <partisan> Thanks--I saw Mint on DistroWatch and got curious. I'll check the link you suggest
[03:17] <pdlnhrd> whyme:  i guess i will have to use ext2 and install the ext2 extention on the windows box... thankx for everyones help
[03:18] <whyme> pdlnhrd: that's a point, ext2/3 write support in windows is fine using the fs2 driver, just install windiz onto fat32 if you need to write any system files(or ntfs if you don't) and the rest of the disk in ext3
[03:18] <Slart> jbfavre: but I'm sure there are wiser people than me that knows the answer to that =)
[03:18] <whyme> pdlnhrd:
[03:18] <whyme> pdlnhrd: precisely...
[03:18] <jbfavre> Slart: hope so. thanks for your help
[03:18] <whyme> how do I get a service to start on boot, when the service is called fcsctl and the user that must start is is called fcadmin?
[03:18] <Ropechoborra> !codecs
[03:18] <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
[03:18] <Slart> jbfavre: you're welcome.
[03:18] <pdlnhrd> whyme:  if only those bastards would open up the ntfs spec all in the world would be perfect for a moment
[03:19] <xfugazix> !codecs
[03:19] <frogzoo> whyme: man boot-scripts
[03:19] <xfugazix> Where should I install mplayer codecs for mplayer find them?
[03:19] <xfugazix> I installed essential-20061022.tar.bz2 in /usr/lib/codecs
[03:19] <xfugazix> But no way..
[03:20] <aL\away> guys i cant see eggdrop file after i installed it
[03:20] <aL\away> plz help
[03:20] <whyme> frogzoo: thanks
[03:20] <cpk1> if I am installing edgy over my dapper install the only partition I need to format is / correct? i can leave /usr alone?
[03:21] <Ulixes> can someone explain me what are the differences between the alternate and normal version of edgy???
[03:21] <apokryphos> cpk1: erm, no, of course not.
[03:21] <Ulixes> pls
[03:21] <apokryphos> the only thing you should keep is /home
[03:21] <apokryphos> perhaps update your /etc
[03:21] <apokryphos> *backup
[03:21] <Slart> Ulixes: I think the alternate has a text only install menu-thingy
[03:21] <det> Is there an alternative for PLF?
[03:21] <apokryphos> Ulixes: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic
[03:21] <det> I hear the repository has been closed down.
[03:22] <NoStress> Ulixes: defaut installed desktop ? (kde, gnome, xfce...) ?
[03:22] <apokryphos> !plf
[03:22] <ubotu> PLF is the Penguin Liberation Front. For more info see: http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org/doc/plf. PLF is down indefinitely pending a new maintainer; see http://plf.zarb.org/. see also !seveas
[03:22] <cpk1> apokryphos: just backup /etc and then throw it back in after the install?
[03:22] <Ulixes> gnome
[03:23] <aL\away> !eggdrop
[03:23] <ubotu> eggdrop: Advanced IRC Robot. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.6.17-3 (edgy), package size 459 kB, installed size 1144 kB
[03:23] <frogzoo> !alternate | Ulixes
[03:23] <ubotu> Ulixes: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[03:24] <Ulixes> got it
[03:24] <Ulixes> but with the alternate i can only upgrade or install from 0 too?
[03:26] <xfugazix> Where should I install mplayer codecs for mplayer find them?
[03:26] <xfugazix> I installed essential-20061022.tar.bz2 in /usr/lib/codecs
[03:26] <xfugazix> But no way.
[03:26] <dreamer> so, on my 6.10 install, I get this ACPI: Invalid PBLK length [5]  during boot
[03:27] <apokryphos> cpk1: no, don't just throw it back in. Just pull in the configs that you need
[03:27] <apokryphos> cpk1: and always backup anything you overwrite
[03:27] <jrib> xfugazix: how did you install it?
[03:28] <xfugazix> jrib, cp
[03:28] <jrib> xfugazix: you have to extract the contents in there
[03:28] <xfugazix> I did.
[03:29] <jrib> xfugazix: what does 'ls /usr/lib/codecs'  say now?
[03:29] <khoa> the latest series of updates is asking me to reboot, is there any way to get around this?
[03:29] <khoa> i have some critical online things going atm
[03:29] <flavioribeiro> how can i kill x? when i try to 'killall gdm' the process restarts automatically
[03:29] <jrib> flavioribeiro: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[03:29] <apokryphos> flavioribeiro: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[03:30] <flavioribeiro> im using 6.06
[03:30] <Slart> flavioribeiro: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[03:30] <Slart> bah.. third.. =)
[03:30] <flavioribeiro> ok
[03:30] <brohken> does anyone know which is better for a noob not used to a command line? ubuntu or FC6?
[03:30] <aL\away> !cli
[03:30] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[03:30] <Slart> jrib: is there a difference to using invoke-rc.d and the /etc/init.d thingy?
[03:30] <jrib> brohken: both are probably the same in that regard. Try both and see which one you like better
[03:31] <apokryphos> brohken: for a complete new user I'd perhaps say that Fedora has some nicer things. opensuse still trumps both IMO for new users.
[03:31] <jrib> Slart: no, not that I know of
[03:31] <apokryphos> brohken: ubuntu has nicer repositories than fedora though
[03:31] <Slart> jrib: ok, thanks
[03:31] <brohken> what are repositories?
[03:31] <apokryphos> !repositories
[03:31] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[03:32] <brohken> ah so default programs it comes with?
[03:32] <apokryphos> brohken: still, these days all distributions have very decent package repositories.
[03:32] <cmacis> hi people
[03:32] <brohken> how about installers.. which one is easiest?
[03:32] <xfugazix> jrib, What do you think? say many codecs
[03:32] <apokryphos> brohken: not just comes with, programs that are packaged and available in online locations
[03:32] <xfugazix> :P
[03:32] <apokryphos> brohken: they all have very easy installers
[03:32] <apokryphos> i.e. easier than windows
[03:32] <frogzoo> brohken: apt is pretty much best of breed
[03:32] <cmacis> still having troubles with my wireless, i'm currently connected to the router through wires
[03:32] <brohken> i know on linux requires you to compile a program
[03:32] <jrib> xfugazix: ok, what are you trying to do now that isn't working?
[03:32] <brohken> which I have very little knowledge of
[03:32] <apokryphos> brohken: no, you should never really need to compile.
[03:32] <jrib> brohken: no, it doesn't
[03:33] <brohken> ah
[03:33] <brohken> thanks guys
[03:33] <frogzoo> brohken: no compiling necessary
[03:33] <xfugazix> jrib, Play a video.
[03:33] <apokryphos> brohken: that's what repositories are for.
[03:33] <xfugazix> Only audio works.
[03:33] <jrib> xfugazix: with...?
[03:33] <xfugazix> mplayer
[03:33] <jrib> xfugazix: oh i may know why... where did you install mplayer from?
[03:33] <frogzoo> brohken: no to say that being able to compile doesn't have advantages o.O
[03:34] <brohken> ok well then since I'm ready to try ubuntu maybe you can help me with 2 other questions. 1. can you recommend me a dell laptop (i was thinknig the small 14.1" screen Dell) that should work out of the box. Also did anyone see that really step-by-step, simple install guide for Beryl? Not the one in Beryl's wiki. It was on a blog, which I can't find.
[03:34] <erUSUL> !find mplayer
[03:34] <ubotu> Found: kmplayer-base, kmplayer-konq-plugins, kmplayer, kmplayer-doc, mozilla-mplayer (and 6 others)
[03:35] <aL\away> whats the delete command
[03:35] <aL\away> to delet file dir
[03:36] <jrib> aL\away: what are you trying to delete?
[03:36] <aL\away> a dir
[03:36] <jrib> aL\away: rmdir /path/to/dir     if it is empty.  Otherwise: rm -r
[03:37] <matt____> where should i "mount" a 200gg hard drive im going to use for data?
[03:37] <jrib> xfugazix: if you are using mplayer from the repositories, that codec package is incomplete
[03:37] <aL\away> jrib
[03:37] <aL\away> i installed eggdrop with apt-get command
[03:37] <aL\away> but i cant find the files
[03:37] <aL\away> where did it store
[03:37] <jrib> aL\away: dpkg -L eggdrop
[03:38] <aL\away> with sudo
[03:38] <jrib> no
[03:38] <aL\away> or without
[03:38] <matt____> where should i mount a 200gb hard drive im going to use only for data?
[03:39] <jrib> matt____: anywhere you want, /media/foobar seems to be the usual place
[03:39] <tarzeau> other places are /export/data1 or /scratch or just /data
[03:39] <aL\away> so does that mean i go to /user/lib and edit config file
[03:39] <tarzeau> or in /mnt some dir
[03:39] <MarcN> matt____: where ever you want.  I like to use /Music or /Photos to give a clue what it is for.
[03:39] <aL\away> also to use eggdrop -m
[03:39] <cmacis> On my router setup it has ssid, not essid. will that make a difference?
[03:39] <aL\away> do i just type it in terminal
[03:39] <brohken> frogzoo: ok well then since I'm ready to try ubuntu maybe you can help me with 2 other questions. 1. can you recommend me a dell laptop (i was thinknig the small 14.1" screen Dell) that should work out of the box. Also did anyone see that really step-by-step, simple install guide for Beryl? Not the one in Beryl's wiki. It was on a blog, which I can't find.

[03:40] <wolfeySI> hello guys, i have serious problems with (re)installing postfix
[03:41] <frogzoo> matt____: 'sudo mkdir /data ' - & then play with chmod/chown to suit
[03:41] <matt____> what does chmod/chown do?
[03:41] <frogzoo> matt____: man chmod; man chown
[03:42] <frogzoo> matt____: 'man' is the online documentation tool
[03:42] <jrib> online?
[03:42] <aL\away> jrib
[03:42] <aL\away> i m stuck
[03:42] <aL\away> on that
[03:42] <jrib> !enter  | aL\away
[03:42] <ubotu> aL\away: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:42] <aL\away> i m very new to unbunto
[03:43] <frogzoo> !helpme | aL\away
[03:43] <ubotu> aL\away: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:43] <jrib> aL\away: I've never used eggdrop, so I don't know how to use it
[03:43] <aL\away> not abt use
[03:43] <aL\away> i want to edit config file
[03:43] <aL\away> ok
[03:43] <matt____> ok, its mounted at /data
[03:43] <aL\away> does anyone here know how to set it up properly
[03:43] <matt____> but how can i change permissions for it?
[03:43] <beerockxs> sometimes, my mouse cursor shows as a weird block instead of a mouse cursor, using fglrx drivers for my Radeon X1900GT, and composite is already disabled in xorg.conf
[03:43] <beerockxs> anyone have an idea  how to fix this?
[03:43] <minerale> how can I see the full path of a program running when I ps ?
[03:44] <wolfeySI> how can i wipe out postfix and all packages that depend on it?
[03:44] <wolfeySI> i have some configuration problems :P
[03:44] <frogzoo> minerale: install htop
[03:44] <wolfeySI> and cant even reinstall
[03:44] <wolfeySI> please :(
[03:44] <jrib> minerale: ps -ef
[03:44] <beerockxs> wolfeySI: sudo apt-get remove --purge postfix
[03:45] <matt____> how can i give myself read/write permissions for /data?
[03:45] <jrib> matt____: what filesystem does it use?
[03:45] <matt____> ext3
[03:45] <jrib> matt____: chown it to your user
[03:45] <ubuntu> hey hello
[03:45] <matt____> how?
[03:45] <ubuntu> yes how]
[03:45] <frogzoo> matt____: 'sudo chown matt:matt /data'
[03:46] <ubuntu> for what is that sudo chown
[03:46] <ubuntu> hey what is su
[03:46] <ubuntu> and what is the difference from su and sudo
[03:46] <wolfeySI> bernhard: thx :)
[03:46] <frogzoo> ubuntu: man su
[03:46] <jrib> !sudo | ubuntu
[03:46] <ubotu> ubuntu: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:46] <ubuntu> ubotu su
[03:46] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:46] <ubuntu> ubuto sudo
[03:46] <wolfeySI> bernhard: problem is main server crashed, and im trying to install configs and files from backup
[03:47] <ubuntu> ubotu sudo
[03:47] <jrib> !msg the bot | ubuntu
[03:47] <ubotu> ubuntu: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops... ;-)
[03:47] <ubuntu> ok man
[03:47] <ubuntu> su and sudo are one
[03:47] <jrib> ubuntu: no
[03:47] <ubuntu> why no
[03:47] <matt____> what is the lost/found folder good for?
[03:47] <jrib> ubuntu: read the link ubotu gave you please
[03:47] <matt____> is it necesary?
[03:47] <frogzoo> ubuntu: the man pages explain the differences in gory detail
[03:47] <ubuntu> ok thanks man.
[03:47] <enyc> matt____: its part of ext2/ext3 at least
[03:48] <ubuntu> ok Thanks all
[03:48] <enyc> matt____: e2fsck will complain if it is not there
[03:48] <matt____> can i make it "hidden"
[03:49] <enyc> matt____: not that i know of ;-) -- you could rename it to .lost+found but then it wouldn't be lost_found
[03:49] <minerale> jrib: here's the thing, if someone adds `vim` as a locally compiled file, add it to their path, and they type vim - it still shows vim, albeit not where it's running
[03:49] <frogzoo> matt____: lost+found is there for when fsck goes horribly wrong
[03:49] <enyc> matt____: just dan't look in the root of the filesystem if you dont want to see it ;-)
[03:49] <matt____> there is an idea
[03:49] <matt____> so, i can create a folder
[03:49] <matt____> and then bookmark that folder
[03:49] <matt____> right?
[03:50] <frogzoo> matt____: leave it alone
[03:50] <HellWork> hi all
[03:50] <ubuntu> hi
[03:50] <matt____> what, the lost found folder?
[03:50] <ubuntu> much folders
[03:50] <matt____> im going to, i created a folder, and then bookmarked it
[03:50] <enyc> matt____: when the filesystem-checker is checking the filesystem (at least on ext2/ext3), it will link "lost inodes" (files/directories) into the /lost+found on that filesystem
[03:50] <matt____> that way, i can't see the lost found folder
[03:51] <LDZ420> is there a way to install my sql with apt-get?
[03:51] <jrib> !mysql | LDZ420
[03:51] <ubotu> LDZ420: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[03:51] <enyc> matt____: does that make sense?
[03:51] <matt____> not really, but if i leave the folder alone, it will be ok, won't it?
[03:51] <wolfeySI> which package is  usr/lib/postfix/dict_sdbm.so
[03:52] <enyc> matt____: well yes
[03:52] <matt____> is it safe to mount the drive in /home
[03:52] <brohken> anyone here of a wireless problem with a dell notebooks? my friend tried to install ubuntu on his dell and wireless did not work out of the box
[03:52] <jrib> minerale: I see your point.  I don't know how to do that, but I'm curious too
[03:52] <matt____> so i can see it when i click home folder?
[03:52] <symbulos> hi there
[03:52] <symbulos> just installed ubuntu 6.10 on laptop but the screen is completely blank when I startup
[03:52] <brohken> he has a inspiron 1500 series i believe
[03:53] <symbulos> do you know how to start in console mode?
[03:53] <enyc> matt____: when the filesystem is being checked for errors (e2fsck, similar to chkdsk/scandisk basically)... "lost" files basically will be linked into /lost+found so you can access them
[03:53] <matt____> i get that
[03:53] <enyc> matt____: your homedir is probably soething like /home/matt
[03:53] <enyc> matt____: not /home
[03:53] <matt____> is it safe to do?
[03:53] <matt____> once i mounted it somewhere, i think /root
[03:53] <matt____> and my system froze
[03:53] <enyc> matt____: well if your homedir is aready on another partition then it doesn't directly make sense
[03:54] <frogzoo> no matt____ not /home   maybe /home/data if you like
[03:54] <enyc> matt____:  it depends exactyl whtat you are trying to do as nto what is sensible
[03:54] <matt____> ok
[03:54] <matt____> i think /data will work
[03:54] <frogzoo> matt____: if you mount directories over the top of system directories, bad things will happen
[03:54] <matt____> can i do this somehow?
[03:55] <Austerity> I made a mess of this install what is my best bet just reinstall or is there a way to wipe a bunch of things clean??
[03:55] <enyc> matt____: what type of filesystem are you trying to mount?
[03:55] <matt____> when i click PLACES/HOME FOLDER
[03:55] <matt____> i want to be able to have a folder called data
[03:55] <frogzoo> Austerity: option #1
[03:55] <enyc> matt____: ohhh
[03:55] <flavioribeiro> i wanna install libc development package, how can i?
[03:55] <matt____> and mount the drive there
[03:55] <LDZ420> What about if I am not interested in installing all of these application for server related issues I just want to work with My SQL.  (I will still hang on to this for future interest..)
[03:55] <enyc> matt you would wwath something like  /home/matt/data/ then ;-)
[03:55] <jrib> flavioribeiro: install build-essential, it will give you that
[03:55] <matt____> yes
[03:55] <Austerity> k thank you
[03:56] <enyc> matt____: that would be a mountpoint you could use -- /home/matt/data/ -- your HOME FALDER is /home/matt or similar (depends on username)
[03:56] <matt____> yes
[03:56] <matt____> so, what would the sudo be to give myself write permissions for that?
[03:56] <flavioribeiro> tnks jrib
[03:56] <enyc> matt____: erm what sort of filesystem?
[03:57] <matt____> ext3
[03:57] <enyc> matt____: right well is that case... it depends on the permissions in that filesystem ;-)
[03:57] <matt____> wait
[03:57] <matt____> never mind
[03:57] <matt____> i already have them
[03:57] <matt____> somehow...
[03:57] <enyc> matt____: you would be able to make the root of that filesystem owned but matt:matt so that you can write to that dir
[03:58] <matt____> back to the lost+found folder, can i make it where i just can't see it?
[03:58] <LDZ420> Thx Ubuntu Support Channel
[03:58] <LDZ420> :)
[03:58] <enyc> matt____: no don't bother ;-)
[03:58] <enyc> matt____: just ignore it
[03:58] <matt____> lol, ok
[03:58] <Kanafani> where are the default wallpapers on ubuntu?
[03:58] <matt____> neat freak
[03:59] <enyc> matt____: ive already told you that is a normal funciton of an ext3
[03:59] <brohken> does ubuntu update itself, sort of like windows updates?
[03:59] <enyc> brohken: not unless told to
[03:59] <Slart> brohken: yes.. but better =)
[03:59] <Slart> oops
[03:59] <brohken> err, which? heh
[03:59] <Slart> mine does
[03:59] <jrib> !hidden | matt____: maybe this will do what you want (yes it works in nautilus too):
[03:59] <ubotu> matt____: maybe this will do what you want (yes it works in nautilus too):: Kubuntu Edgy has implemented a new feature that hides most of the filesystem. For more information: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuHiddenFiles
[03:59] <enyc> brohken: you can configure edgy to auto-do- security-updates if you like
[03:59] <oxygenthief> hey
[03:59] <Slart> I can't remember enabling updates.... or.. did I???
[03:59] <brohken> is that in the gui or command line?
[04:00] <Slart> there is an update-manager
[04:00] <Slart> in the system-menu
[04:00] <matt____> for that
[04:00] <matt____> i would need to use kubuntu, wouldn't i?
[04:00] <brohken> how about updating from one version to the next? does it do that as well?
[04:00] <brohken> from say Dapper to Edgy
[04:00] <jrib> matt____: I've never used it, but the bottom of the page says it works in nautilus.  It also says it's only for /, but give it a try
[04:00] <enyc> brohken: no... and tnhe update notes for thta depend on the version....
[04:00] <oxygenthief> anyone able to tell me why ubuntu seems to be so slow loading pages
[04:01] <enyc> brohken: you can however do such an update...
[04:01] <y3it221_klce> can anyone give me the link for "Live Linux CDs" ebook??
[04:01] <jrib> matt____: http://linux.about.com/library/gnome/blgnome6n6r.htm
[04:01] <matt____> nautilus is like explorer in windows isn't it?
[04:02] <enyc> matt____: well thats one file borwser for gnome... not the only one
[04:02] <matt____> is it default?
[04:02] <jrib> matt____: yes
[04:02] <matt____> is it worth giving others a try?
[04:02] <oxygenthief> anyone know why ubuntu is so much slower than xp?
[04:02] <frogzoo> oxygenthief: dapper?
[04:03] <oxygenthief> yah
[04:03] <frogzoo> oxygenthief: upgrade to gnome/edgy - it's impressive the difference
[04:03] <Slart> brohken... I was wrong.. update-manager just updates... the settings for auto-downloading updates etc are in system/software-sources
[04:03] <jrib> matt____: I just tried the .hidden thing and it works fine here.  You can try thunar, but I think nautilus is probably the best for gnome (yes this is an opinion)
[04:04] <enyc> matt____: "xfe" is actually like windows explorer
[04:04] <eps> is there a ubuntu guide some where for mythtv installation ?
[04:04] <brohken> slart: in other words you need a seperate program to manage auto updating?
[04:04] <jrib> !mythtv | eps
[04:04] <ubotu> eps: MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[04:04] <eps> thx
[04:04] <matt____> how do i use the hidden thing for that lost folder?
[04:05] <Slart> brohken: well.. yes.. it's a separate program.. but it comes with Ubuntu... like Windows Update is a separate program in windows
[04:05] <oxygenthief> frogzoo: I am very new and still getting use to all the terms I'm using ubuntu 6.0 for sure if it is dapper or not
[04:05] <jrib> matt____: create a .hidden file in /data and put the name of the directory in there
[04:05] <brohken> gotcha
[04:05] <brohken> good enough for me
[04:05] <rausb0> oxygenthief: there is no ubuntu 6.0
[04:05] <matt____> as in a text file, and then put the name of the directory in the text file?
[04:05] <jrib> matt____: yes
[04:06] <frogzoo> oxygenthief: 6.0 is very old - 2 releases behind edgy
[04:06] <x06vh> How do I set VLC as my standard instead of Totem for movies etc?
[04:06] <Slart> Slart: and the best part is.. it updates Ubuntu.. AND any software you have installed...  (if you installed it the usual way)
[04:06] <jrib> !defaultapp | x06vh
[04:06] <ubotu> x06vh: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations"
[04:06] <Slart> eh..talking to myself, am I
[04:06] <Hoag> Can anyone recommend a chat program such as gAIM that supports webcam?
[04:06] <matt____> it works
[04:06] <Slart> brohken:  : and the best part is.. it updates Ubuntu.. AND any software you have installed...  (if you installed it the usual way)
[04:06] <elkbuntu> Hoag, amsn
[04:06] <matt____> and, now how COULD i access the .hidden file again?
[04:06] <matt____> enable hidden things??
[04:07] <Hoag> elkbuntu: Thanks :)
[04:07] <frogzoo> oxygenthief: 6.06 = dapper, 6.10 = edgy = latest
[04:07] <jrib> matt____: ctrl-h or show hidden files
[04:07] <matt____> WOW!
[04:07] <elkbuntu> Hoag, that's for msn only. i dont know for the other protocols
[04:07] <onepic> hi! I'm trying to modifying a bootup script in /etc/init.d/lvm but the changes are not being executed in the startup
[04:07] <jrib> matt____: magic :)
[04:07] <matt____> windows has a long way to go
[04:07] <matt____> ubuntu harder than windoows?
[04:07] <matt____> noway
[04:07] <oxygenthief> frogzoo: Thanks
[04:07] <Hoag> elkbuntu: That's fine :)
[04:07] <matt____> just has a little curve you have to learn
[04:07] <brohken> i mainly want ubuntu because of the XGL/Beryl software
[04:08] <brohken> it looks incredible
[04:08] <Slart> matt____: not if you start both from zero.. =)
[04:08] <matt____> thats true
[04:08] <matt____> how about this
[04:08] <matt____> i have onboard intel graphics
[04:08] <oxygenthief> frogzoo: can you tell me how to check which version I have
[04:08] <matt____> and a geforce 550fx
[04:08] <matt____> 5500
[04:08] <brohken> i hear you can pick up chicks using Beryl
[04:08] <matt____> when i try to use the card
[04:08] <brohken> they think it's "hot"
[04:08] <Slart> oxygenthief: about-box in the gui
[04:08] <matt____> it freezes up
[04:09] <matt____> if i simply install nvidia drivers
[04:09] <matt____> will the card work?
[04:09] <Alakazamz0r> what controls the rewrite of /etc/resolv.conf?
[04:09] <matt____> i can't "disable" the onboard in my bios
[04:09] <jrib> !enter | matt____
[04:09] <ubotu> matt____: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:09] <matt____> will do. if i install drivers for it, will the card work?
[04:10] <frogzoo> oxygenthief: lsb_release -a
[04:10] <frogzoo> brohken: you heard wrong
[04:11] <onepic> any help? please
[04:11] <brohken> frogzoo: no way
[04:11] <brohken> they like shiny things
[04:11] <Slart> onepic: I didn't see the question.. repeat?
[04:11] <onepic> hi! I'm trying to modifying a bootup script in /etc/init.d/lvm but the changes are not being executed in the startup
[04:12] <oxygenthief> it says it has 6.1 so is it just standardly slow. I love the os just not sur if I messed it up
[04:12] <onepic> I tried with a simple 'cat /proc/mounts' but nothing
[04:12] <fadey> Hello, everyone. Does anybody know how could I find out all IPs assigned by my dhcp server to people
[04:12] <brohken> starbucks. new york city is full of geeky chicks that are hot
[04:12] <Slart> onepic: oh.. that one.. I have no idea.. sorry
[04:12] <brohken> the idea is to keep their self-esteem low
[04:12] <brohken> they don't realize they're hot
[04:12] <brohken> and I can take advantage
[04:12] <brohken> using my shiny Beryl techniques
[04:13] <frogzoo> !offtopic | brohken

[04:17] <RoKFiT> yes 2.4 dual core
[04:17] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: that should kick - something's badly wrong
[04:17] <RoKFiT> i agree
[04:18] <matt____> how can i globally disable ipv6? i have tried doing the /etc/modeprobe.d/aliases file change, but that didn't seem to do it. any ideas?
[04:18] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: what's your load?
[04:18] <RoKFiT> 4%
[04:18] <refus3d>  #ubuntu-cafe is a good channel

[04:19] <frogzoo> eltech: man boot-scripts
[04:19] <matt____> how can i delete the dir /data?
[04:19] <RoKFiT> any ideas frogzoo
[04:19] <Slart> matt____: rmdir doesn't work?
[04:19] <matt____> not tried it
[04:20] <Slart> matt____: just make sure you really want it gone..
[04:20] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: sound card?
[04:20] <matt____> rmdir, does that delete directories? is there some website that will tel me all the terminal commands?
[04:20] <frogzoo> !docs | matt____
[04:20] <ubotu> matt____: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com
[04:20] <Slart> matt____: I think you can do a rm -R as well
[04:20] <RoKFiT> nvidia IEC958
[04:20] <Slart> matt____: just start with a rmdir --help or a rm --help
[04:22] <lambert> hi
[04:22] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: tried replacing mpg321 with mpg123-esd?
[04:22] <lambert> who are U
[04:22] <RoKFiT> is that in repos?
[04:23] <lambert> hi betty , i am lambert
[04:23] <kupo> is there a decent ubuntu hw list somewhere, I'm working on an old presario compaq 4850
[04:23] <kupo> can't find the mobo sound
[04:23] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: multiverse
[04:23] <webwolf_27> has anyone gotten the realtek8185L wireless card to work on edgy?
[04:24] <ken> I am looking for multimedia playback. (.mp3, .avi, mpeg1-2-3, wmv, etc). Which is the most effective way? Totem-xine, Totem-gstream, or something else? How about something that doesn't require any external plugins? eg. VLC. Are there other such software available. And how would you rate VLC?
[04:24] <RoKFiT> yeah i doubt that fixes it
[04:25] <RoKFiT> and i can't find it
[04:25] <RoKFiT> i'm on kubuntu
[04:25] <webwolf_27> ken, vlc is good, but overblow for audio
[04:25] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: the docs suggest it as a fix...worth trying
[04:25] <RoKFiT> how do i install it
[04:25] <whyme> frogzoo: Tried it out, but I can't figure out how to make fcsctl be started *specifically* by the user fcadmin
[04:25] <Alakazamz0r> How can i dpkg-reconfigure network
[04:25] <RoKFiT> if i can't find it in adept_manager
[04:25] <ken> webwolf_27: Could you be a little more descriptive, please?
[04:25] <RoKFiT> i have all repos enabled
[04:25] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[04:25] <webwolf_27> ken, what do you want to know
[04:26] <whyme> frogzoo: in /etc/init.d/ scripts, re my earlier q about getting a service to start at boot
[04:26] <ken> webwolf_27: overblow? What is that? I can't find it in Add/remove programs.
[04:26] <oxygenthief> thanks for the help
[04:27] <RoKFiT> so frogzoo, just install the stuff they list?
[04:27] <jenda> What can "/home/jenda/.setup30509: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" mean, given by a liflg .run file?
[04:27] <ken> webwolf_27: I am looking for a one stop multimedia solution let it be quicktime/wmv/mp3/acc/vobb/avi/mpeg1-2-3....you get the idea? What would you recommend?
[04:28] <webwolf_27> ken, its in universe/multiverse. It's too big for just audio and can do so much more
[04:28] <webwolf_27> ken, mplayer
[04:28] <kupo> ken: go use vlc
[04:29] <frogzoo> whyme: try 'su fcadmin -c "prog --args" '
[04:29] <mm2000> someone here good at cdrecord?
[04:29] <wolverian> so, did anyone else's feisty halt booting when loading pcmcia?
[04:29] <ken> kupo: webwolf_27: I want a no frills multimedia player, that plays all formats + never causes much problems/ is incompatible with files. As VLC uses its own plugins to play these formats, i doubt that some of the files wouldn't play correctly in it. Have you guys experienced such problems?
[04:29] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: sure
[04:29] <RoKFiT> i have the packages installed already
[04:29] <RoKFiT> i have them installed
[04:29] <RoKFiT> the mp3 support
[04:29] <jorgp> mm2000, what is there to know?
[04:30] <terraco> okay maybe someone can help me out, I am having two probs, one with wine and the other with a pulgin that wont plugin
[04:30] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: tried replacing mpg321 with mpg123-esd?
[04:30] <webwolf_27> ken, no I haven't but mplayer can do all that
[04:30] <RoKFiT> i cant find it in adept_manager
[04:30] <Isyth> Hey everyone, I'm having some problems installing ubuntu onto my 'new' second-hand compaq armada m700 laptop
[04:30] <Alakazamz0r> How can i dpkg-reconfigure network
[04:30] <Alakazamz0r> How can i dpkg-reconfigure network
[04:30] <macaroni> hi, i'm installing xubuntu on an old Pentium II 233Mhz with 64Mb of ram. I choose italian as language but the installation goes on in english. Is that normal?
[04:30] <kupo> ken: go use vlc
[04:31] <ken> webwolf_27: kupo: Thank you
[04:31] <Isyth> it can't read the breezy CD and it stalls during the Dapper installing
[04:31] <kupo> Isyth: hw specs?
[04:31] <RoKFiT> all that shows is gqmpeg mpg123-el mpg321
[04:31] <ken> kupo: You didn;t answer my question, have you experienced some problems while playing files in VLC? eg. choppy/dropped frames, incompatible files, etc?
[04:32] <kupo> sure
[04:32] <RoKFiT> i don't want to cli my mp3's
[04:32] <Hoag> Is there any way of making amsn match your theme more? Change colours etc?
[04:32] <terraco> the pluging for adobe flashplayer wont work, and wine wont install properly so I get errors all the time
[04:32] <Isyth> pentium III 550mHz 128mb ram
[04:32] <ken> kupo: "sure", could you please be a little more descriptive? Do you mean you have experienced problems with VLC? Than what else do you suggest?
[04:32] <whyme> frogzoo: ty
[04:32] <kupo> nothing else
[04:33] <kupo> just vlc
[04:33] <Isyth> kupo: pentium III 550mHz 128mb ram
[04:33] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: 'sudo dpkg --purge mp321 ; sudo apt-get install mpg123-esd'
[04:33] <kupo> you prolly should try the alternative install cd Isyth
[04:33] <RoKFiT> frogzoo: is it a cli mp3player?
[04:33] <kupo> how does the livecd run on it Isyth ? slow?
[04:33] <ken> kupo: Thank you
[04:33] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: no - a codec
[04:33] <Isyth> kupo: the Breezy live CD doesn't run at all and the Dapper one is quite slow but working.
[04:34] <kupo> yeah I would use the etch alternative cd
[04:34] <RoKFiT> couldn't find package
[04:34] <kupo> you'll have a ncurses based install menu
[04:34] <MasterLexx> the live cds on  laptop with 128mb ram are overkill
[04:34] <kupo> Isyth: if you can up to 256ram total it'll make a big difference
[04:35] <RoKFiT> frogzoo: couldn't find package
[04:35] <Isyth> kupo: maybe that'll work. But what's that you said about the alternative install?
[04:35] <RoKFiT> i'm on kubuntu edgy
[04:35] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: multiverse
[04:35] <terraco> so to fix the wine prob, where it wont open a windows program is there something I can do to fix it? Please and thank you.
[04:35] <defrysk> http://parker1.co.uk/satanic/installation
[04:35] <RoKFiT> it's enabled frogzoo
[04:35] <kupo> Isyth: its where you dl the isos on the website
[04:35] <kupo> its made for systems with less than 192 of ram
[04:36] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: dpkg -l libk3b2-mp3
[04:36] <Isyth> kupo: that might do the trick. I'm having some problems opening the laptop to see where the ram goes... I'm not used to laptops.
[04:36] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: nvm, dpkg -l libxine-extracodecs
[04:37] <Helpmeee> when i boot into Ubuntu i get this msg :
[04:37] <Helpmeee> API mismatch The nvidia kernel module has the version 1.0-7184, but in this X module has the verison 1.0-9631
[04:37] <whyme> frogzoo: does this look right to you?
[04:37] <RoKFiT> okay idk what just happened
[04:37] <Slart> Helpmeee: you can try downloading the driver install thingy from nvidia and run it.. it should fix it
[04:37] <RoKFiT> desired=unknown/install/remove/purge/hold
[04:38] <whyme> frogzoo: http://pastebin.ca/280007
[04:38] <RoKFiT> status=not/install/remove/purge hold
[04:38] <Slart> Helpmeee: there are probably other ways as well.. but that's what I did when I got that error
[04:39] <oneseventeen> how do I prevent Ubuntu 6.10 from automatically adding DNS servers?  (The automatic DNS servers it finds rarely work for me...)
[04:39] <Roconda> hey, if I want to change the default grub, is it just changing the new one to the top? and if it doesnt boot will it  automaticly pick the grub the kernel below it?
[04:39] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: try 'sudo apt-get update ; dpkg -l libxine-extracodecs'
[04:39] <RoKFiT> frogzoo: libxine-extracodecs is already the newest version
[04:39] <whyme> frogzoo: that's ln -s /etc/rc5.d/S100fcsctl /etc/init.d/fcsctl
[04:40] <Helpmeee> Slart, kan du skicka lnk ?
[04:40] <Helpmeee> Jag hittar inte ;s
[04:40] <Slart> Helpmeee: mm... sure.. but lets keep it in english.. for the rest of the room
[04:40] <RoKFiT> okay now what
[04:40] <oneseventeen> Roconda: I'm a newbie to grub, but I thought when you change the default you are changing which one is highlighted by default, not the order of the boot options (but I could be wrong)
[04:41] <Slart> Helpmeee: 32bit or 64bit?
[04:41] <frogzoo> whyme: does fcsctl take 'start' as an arg?
[04:41] <Reilithion> I'm looking for a RAM editor with which I could debug frozen programs, get a look at the internals of things as they run, and -- I'll be honest -- cheating at Breakout.  ;-)  Anyone have any suggestions for a program/package that might meet my needs?
[04:41] <oneseventeen> How do I disable dynamic DNS?
[04:41] <whyme> frogzoo: yep
[04:42] <Helpmeee> slart, blev lite osker nu;p kr med i386
[04:42] <Roconda> oneseventeen: thanks for your help, but I need someone who is sure about it because I am talking about an server thats hosted in a dc
[04:42] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: dunno - you running latest amarok?
[04:42] <RoKFiT> yeah
[04:42] <Slart> Helpmeee: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9631/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9631-pkg1.run
[04:42] <RoKFiT> 1.4.3
[04:42] <oneseventeen> Roconda: ahh, nevermind then, good luck!
[04:42] <frogzoo> RoKFiT: try 1.4.4
[04:42] <whyme> frogzoo: oh, and it was ln -s /etc/init.d/fcsctl /etc/rc5.d/S100fcsctl
[04:42] <terraco> can i get so help on the flash player for firefox it wont install
[04:43] <Helpmeee> Slart, jag har den redan ...
[04:43] <kupo> which version of FF?
[04:43] <Slart> Helpmeee: then run that file.. sudo sh NVIDIA... you should get a nice ncurses install program going
[04:43] <kupo> ncurses rox
[04:44] <terraco> to be honest I am not sure it comes with v6.06
[04:44] <RoKFiT> frogzoo, there isn't an update
[04:44] <Helpmeee> Slart, is thare a newer krtnel module for nvidia+
[04:44] <frogzoo> whyme: should be /etc/rc2.d/S100fcsctl
[04:45] <Helpmeee> kernel*

[04:54] <biotrox> how to check if my ATI drivers are installed or not
[04:54] <tarzeau> biotrox: fglrx ones?
[04:54] <Helpmeee> Slart, when it tries do download a kernel from their fpt site it says something.. dont remember..
[04:54] <biotrox> 9600GT
[04:55] <Slart> Helpmeee: mm.. probably something about a module not being available for download.. it should build it instead
[04:55] <Alakazamz0r> Could someone help me w/this please: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37193/
[04:56] <Slart> Helpmeee: it should = it will =)
[04:56] <Helpmeee> Ive done it like 10times:P
[04:56] <Helpmeee> no diffrence:P
[04:56] <Helpmeee> slart, do you use nvidia?
[04:56] <Slart> Helpmeee: it still doesn't work? yes I use that very same driver
[04:56] <Alakazamz0r> Anyone?
[04:57] <biotrox> tarzeau | i use ATI driver for 9600GT
[04:57] <Helpmeee> Slart, How about sending it to me ?:)
[04:57] <Slart> Helpmeee: no other error messages?
[04:57] <Alakazamz0r> Come on guys, i help people here so much, someone could at LEAST take a look at my post.
[04:57] <tarzeau> biotrox: which driver name? fglrx?
[04:57] <Slart> Helpmeee: it's the same you've downloaded from the site.. I don't know where the built module is.. and I'm using AMD64
[04:57] <Helpmeee> ah..
[04:58] <biotrox> tarzeau | how to check if it's fglrx
[04:58] <Slart> Helpmeee: but the install program finished alright? and you said "yes.. configure my x system"
[04:58] <tarzeau> biotrox: grep fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[04:58] <Helpmeee> yep
[04:59] <Slart> Helpmeee: and it still doesn't work when you restart?
[04:59] <Slart> Helpmeee: same error?
[04:59] <Helpmeee> then it works :)
[04:59] <jasonong> hello
[04:59] <Helpmeee> But if I reboot my system
[04:59] <Helpmeee> Same error.
[04:59] <Slart> Helpmeee: hmm.. odd.. it shouldn't do that
[04:59] <Helpmeee> so when i want to boot into ubuntu i need to re-isntall nvidia drivers
[05:00] <biotrox> tarzeau | there's non fglrx
[05:00] <Slart> Helpmeee: it never did that for me.... did you do "sudo sh NVIDIA-" etc?
[05:00] <Helpmeee> Slart, odd stuff tend to happend to me all the time ;)
[05:00] <Helpmeee> yeah
[05:00] <Helpmeee> Installation starts after i Agree
[05:00] <Slart> Helpmeee: ok.. try to uninstall the nvidia-glx package then
[05:00] <Helpmeee> you know how? ;p
[05:01] <Slart> Helpmeee: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx
[05:01] <x-r00t-x> hey . how do i stop fscking on starting ubuntu ?
[05:01] <jrib> !fsck | x-r00t-x
[05:01] <ubotu> x-r00t-x: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[05:02] <Helpmeee> gonna try now :)
[05:02] <mo> how can i install and use *.pdf-fonts?
[05:02] <mo> ups, pcf-fonts ;)
[05:02] <Slart> mo: pcf? what is pcf-fonts?
[05:02] <markeib> hello, i installed new nvidia drivers, now at startup i always have to type "sudo rmmod nvidia && sudo modprobe nvidia" to make the xserver start, how can i make this "autostart"?
[05:02] <renihs> omg, how can it be that ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS, cannot be installed on a *CERTIFIED* hardware (Sunfire X4100)
[05:02] <renihs> ubuntu certified
[05:03] <Reilithion> RAM hex editor.  Anyone have any packages they recommend?
[05:03] <garren> hi all !
[05:03] <mo> Slart, http://artwizaleczapka.sourceforge.net/
[05:03] <dfcarney> Reilithion: what do you mean a "RAM hex editor"?  Do you want to be able to peek/poke values into RAM at a physical address?
[05:04] <Slart> mo: thanks.. I'll go look.. never heard of them before
[05:04] <mo> Slart, i think they are also called bitmap fonts...
[05:04] <garren> I've a probleme , maybe you could help me , I've installed Ati drivers and xgl, and now when i am on login screen , the screen resolution is 1600x1200 and in my xorg.conf there are only 1024x768 and 800x600 , how can i change my login-manager screen resolution please ?
[05:04] <renihs> i find it pretty offensive that ubuntu certifies hardware (expensive one) and doesnt even test/check it?
[05:04] <renihs> how can that be???
[05:05] <symbulos> oes anyone know hw to maudoes anyone know hw to maually configure a network so that the ip address is fetched using dhcp (no graphics)?
[05:05] <Slart> mo: ok.. the look kind of nice.. but I think I'll stay with truetype and those kinds =)
[05:05] <mrlinux> what is the structure to mount a hard drive
[05:05] <mrlinux> command
[05:05] <mo> Slart, but there must be a way to use them ;)
[05:05] <dfcarney> mrlinux: type 'man mount'
[05:06] <mrlinux> then the device name
[05:06] <Slart> mo: there probably is.. I've never seen anything for bitmap fonts though... but someone else might have
[05:06] <terraco> E: clvm: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3 is what I got when I did that shown in the site
[05:06] <dfcarney> mrlinux: 'mount' is the command that you want to use.  'man mount' will display the manual page on it.
[05:06] <gar-> any one have a guide of how to add 2 static ip adressess... to the box
[05:06] <mo> Slart, OK. maybe i should ask later...
[05:06] <mrlinux> k thanks
[05:06] <mpoz2> Hi. Some of my apps (oo.org, gimp,...) regularly flash in the taskbar (probably dm's URGENT hint) without any reason and _unstoppable_ by mouse. To stop the flashing I have to Alt-Tab to the window or (in case of oo.org) I even have to _close_ it. Is this problem known? (Using Dapper)
[05:06] <biotrox> tarzeau | any other suggestion how to check if my ATI driver successfully installed...
[05:07] <renihs> heh lol, nothing works at ubuntu :)
[05:07] <renihs> i wish i could find it funny
[05:07] <Slart> mo: why not ask the author, he/she is bound to know
[05:07] <mo> Slart, mybe i should do so.
[05:07] <Reilithion> dfcarney: Yeah, that's the basic functionality I'm after.  Some additional features would be nice.
[05:07] <Reilithion> I'm sure I'm not the first one to think this up
[05:08] <x-r00t-x> what was happened :-S jrib
[05:08] <frogzoo> biotrox: fglrxinfo & glxinfo |grep direct
[05:08] <dfcarney> Reilithion: with virtual memory management, segmentation, and the like you won't be able to (easily) write to arbitrary physical addresses
[05:08] <gar-> what is the Network and broadcast ip are those the dns????
[05:08] <x-r00t-x> !fsck | x-r00t-x
[05:08] <ubotu> x-r00t-x: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[05:08] <dfcarney> Reilithion: what's your intended application?  i.e. why do you want such a tool?
[05:09] <Reilithion> As I mentioned earlier, I want to be able to debug frozen programs and cheat at simple games.
[05:09] <mo> Slart, thanks. bye
[05:09] <dfcarney> Reilithion: ah, i didn't see that post.
[05:09] <Slart> Reilithion: mm.. something like artmoney.. but for linux.. would be nice =)
[05:09] <gar-> anyone can explaint to me what is network and broadcast are those the dns ips address in /etc/network/interfaces????
[05:10] <mo> Slart, he, it works :). i just had to restart X.
[05:10] <garren> does anyone know where can I change login screen resolution please ?
[05:10] <Reilithion> dfcarney: no worries.  Any suggestions?  Physical addresses don't matter so long as I could do a repeated search.
[05:11] <Slart> mo: ah.. back to the simple windows-solutions.. restart, reboot and try again =)
[05:11] <terraco> is ubuntu suposed to beable to reconize a CD/R DVD-ROM automaticly?
[05:11] <frogzoo> terraco: if it's ata, sure
[05:11] <Reilithion> Even just a pointer into another program's allocated memory could work.  I could almost write what I need myself in C or something.
[05:12] <dfcarney> Reilithion: there are tonnes of tools out there for debugging software, though there's so much that I suggest that you simply start reading about 'gdb', 'strace', and 'core dumps'.
[05:13] <terraco> well it will read a dvd cd mp3 kodac but a special fetures disk
[05:13] <dfcarney> Reilithion: sorry that I can't help much more than that.  I have some ideas, but I'm no expert and I wouldn't want to give you misleading info.
[05:13] <ViViD> is there any way to find out if the ffmpeg package included with fiesty has xvid and mp3 exporting enabled??\
[05:13] <renihs> WHO can i contact from ubuntu to ask WHY hardware has been CERTIFIED (by ubuntu) that does not work with ubuntu?
[05:14] <Slart> renihs: have you checked the official web-page?
[05:14] <renihs> yes, there are only some companies i could ask
[05:14] <frogzoo> !canonical | renihs
[05:14] <ubotu> renihs: Canonical Ltd. is committed to the development, distribution and promotion of open source software products, and to providing tools and support to the open source community. It is the driving force behind the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu Operating Systems. Canonical's website is at http://www.canonical.com/
[05:14] <renihs> which is pointless, i need ubuntu directly
[05:14] <tkroo_> heh
[05:14] <terraco> someone said there is a better media player for the os then kaffeen i can get is that true?
[05:15] <renihs> frogzoo, they are the ones responsible for the certification process?
[05:15] <frogzoo> renihs: canonical is ubuntu
[05:15] <renihs> mkay, then all hope is lost
[05:15] <frogzoo> which is not to say ubuntu is canonical ;)
[05:15] <renihs> because all threads regarding this issue just get deleted there
[05:16] <Reilithion> dfcarney: Thanks for your help.  I'm a pretty good researcher if given a few leads.  I have a good idea of what it is I'm after, so could you chance giving me that misleading info so that I can decide for myself whether it's useful?
[05:16] <intrepidus> Can anyone tell me why, when I mount an NTFS drive, it only shows the following folders on it: AUTOEXEC.BAT, IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, CONFIG.SYS, RECYCLER, and System Volume Information?
[05:16] <biotrox> tarzeau | when i run your suggestion command. my computer hangs
[05:16] <Reilithion> I could probably find something on my own.  I came here to get ideas, really.
[05:16] <intrepidus> The drive -does- have data on it, too.
[05:17] <whyme> frogzoo: the init.d script didn't work. any suggestions as how it can be improved/how I can debug it?
[05:17] <Samus_Aran> how do you turn off all kernel messages being output to the various TTYs ?  I use multiseat Xorg, and if stuff is output to the TTYs while locked in X, it writes that stuff overtop of the video memory and corrupts the X display
[05:17] <frogzoo> whyme: start the script with "#!/bin/bash -x" - then run the script as 'sudo /etc/rc2.d/S100fsctl'
[05:18] <Moosejaw> whats the command to open up the trash?
[05:18] <Samus_Aran> sometimes I can switch to TTY 12, which has no text output, but presently it won't let me go past TTY 8, which has lots of text output to it
[05:18] <phiwum> Gnumeric's colors are utterly screwy.  When I try to select the color for the background of a cell, every non-black option is a near invisible grey.  I've used gnumeric before (on Slackware) but never seen this problem.  Any ideas?
[05:19] <markeib> hey, ubuntu won't change anything when i try to change my theme, is this a common issue?
[05:19] <phiwum> I can choose a custom color and that comes out fine.  But the stock colors are screwy.

[05:19] <terraco> well I thank all who have helped me out with my probs and I will come back if I have again thank you
[05:19] <habeeb> hello, I have a directory with like 5 subdirs inside with 10zips in each one. How can I unzip them altogether?
[05:19] <whyme> frogzoo: oh hey, it had a space between #! and /bin/bash.... d'oh!
[05:20] <Moosejaw> anyone?  command to open up the trash?
[05:20] <whyme> doesn't meen it'll work, but still....
[05:20] <whyme> Moosejaw:
[05:20] <Moosejaw> or is it just opening the trash file?
[05:20] <mrlinux> i cant mount my secondary hard drive
[05:20] <whyme> Moosejaw: the trash is a folder called .Trash in your home directory
[05:20] <Moosejaw> k
[05:20] <whyme> so it would be nautilus ~/.Trash
[05:21] <dfcarney> Reilithion: Hmmmm...  I still say that you start by reviewing 'gdb'.  Most debugging tools are based off of it.
[05:21] <Reilithion> whyme: depends on what desktop system he's running, or at least which file browser he has installed
[05:21] <whyme> unless you've been deleting on an external device, in which case it'll be .Trash on that device: cd /media/mydevice/.Trash
[05:21] <Juftus> intrepidus: perhaps the drive you're trying to mount has several partitions on it and you're just mounting one of them... for example, my laptop has two 'windows' partitions even though only one is visible from windows, and the hidden one containts something like 'system volume information'.
[05:21] <mrlinux> can i have some help with my mounting problem i have 2 file systems on the hard dirve(ext3, fat32)
[05:21] <whyme> Moosejaw: oh yea, this is assuming you're running vanilla ubuntu
[05:22] <dfcarney> Reilithion: If you're not compiling your own code then it can be a lot tricker.  You may also want to look into reverse-engineering documentation
[05:22] <intrepidus> Juftus: It's only got one.
[05:22] <Samus_Aran> habeeb: for dir in */; do cd "$dir"; for file in *.zip; do unzip "$file"; done; cd ..; done
[05:23] <ubuntu> hey
[05:23] <ubuntu> help
[05:23] <renihs> mkay i have written canonical an email but this is really shamefull for ubuntu (could it get any lower?) to certify systems and then ubuntu does not run on it
[05:24] <jrib> ubuntu: hey, ask a question and we'll try to help
[05:24] <whyme> frogzoo: it says http://pastebin.ca/280041
[05:24] <Juftus> intrepidus, OK. Just thought your situation might be similar to mine... No idea, then.
[05:24] <whyme> ubuntu: whatcha want?
[05:24] <ubuntu> jrib man
[05:24] <dfcarney> renihs: I'm just tuning in...  Where does it say that the system is certified?
[05:24] <ubuntu> i try to open a directory and told me
[05:24] <mrlinux> i cant mount my secondary hard drive (ext3, fat32)

[05:24] <drkm> what do I have install through apt-get to get UUDECODE.. a program I'm installing needs it..
[05:25] <Juftus> intrepidus, what do you have in your /media (the hda? ones)?
[05:25] <jrib> drkm: sharutils
[05:25] <ubuntu> Yo don't have a permission necessary to view the contents
[05:25] <ubuntu> jrib man what that mean
[05:25] <ubuntu> and how can i change it .
[05:25] <intrepidus> Juftus: Not sure what that means? I have a lot of things in /media...I have the mount point, /media/music, for that drive.
[05:25] <drkm> jrib: thanks I'll have a look

[05:25] <ubuntu> i install kerio mail server
[05:26] <psusi> drkm: did you try apt-cache search uudecode?
[05:26] <ubuntu> and i try to open /opt/kerio/mailserver
[05:26] <renihs> dfcarney, i am too lazy to look up the info on the ubuntu site, which i dont like or find anythere there at all
[05:26] <jrib> drkm: what are you installing by the way?
[05:26] <whyme> sean_micken: you can get into the grub menu.lst file and remove the word splash from the appropriate line,
[05:26] <drkm> jrib: some IDE thing

[05:26] <myno> hi everyone
[05:27] <jrib> ubuntu: try to prefix what you say with my name so my client can highlight it for me.  How did you install it?
[05:27] <dfcarney> renihs: well, this article just claims that Sun intends to start the certification process, that's all.
[05:27] <whyme> sean_micken: that would be sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:27] <sean_micken> whyme: im thinking i would remove 'quiet' from kernel line?  im not using desktop, but server edition.

 That is, did you look into every directory in /media?
[05:29] <FernandoCordes> jrib: i just wanted to say that it is kind of awesome. i messed up my whole menu.lst and mbr.. put in that disc and my box booted just fine :-)

[05:29] <whyme> sean_micken: expect the unexpected, mwahahaha
[05:29] <jrib> tuna-fish-: https://help.ubuntu.com/ seems to be up for me
[05:30] <Gamentine> hello...
[05:30] <x-r00t-x> its up for me :-W
[05:30] <whyme> no reason, lol, but messing with menu.lst can sometimes be disasterous(sp?) if you're not careful
[05:30] <Gamentine> can anyone tell me where i can change the eth device enumeration?
[05:30] <dfcarney> renihs: Just reading through the various pages...gimme a sec...
[05:30] <jrib> FernandoCordes: ah, great
[05:30] <FernandoCordes> yea
[05:30] <tuna-fish-> jrib: I can get there but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto or any other page doesn't load
[05:30] <Gamentine> I have an eth1, but no eth0
[05:30] <x-r00t-x> .
[05:30] <jrib> tuna-fish-: loads fine here
[05:31] <tuna-fish-> weird
[05:31] <FernandoCordes> tuna-fish-: kinda strange.. for me it works too
[05:31] <renihs> dfcarney, just search for canonical
[05:31] <x-r00t-x> tuna-fish-, maybe your port are blocked for ssl ...
[05:31] <FernandoCordes> tuna-fish-: you not on some kind of internet cafe or college network or so?
[05:31] <whyme> frogzoo: whenever I try the command it just returns sudo: /etc/rc2.d/S100fcsctl: command not found
[05:31] <tuna-fish-> college network but I have used them before
[05:31] <FernandoCordes> maybe they blocked em :-) bad linux
[05:32] <tuna-fish-> just shows a blank page on firefox
[05:32] <tuna-fish-> I very much doubt
[05:32] <renihs> Ubuntu 6.06 LTS 64-bit (canonical certified)
[05:32] <x-r00t-x> tuna-fish-, that mean your port is blocked ....
[05:32] <renihs> i tracked the problem and its simply a broken kernel/gcc stuff
[05:32] <whyme> frogzoo: ??? which is strange as I used tab completion to get the command line there in the first place, and it's deffo linked to the right file, as per less /etc/rc2.d/S100fcsctl...
[05:32] <renihs> i know only hope that it works with (LOL) i386
[05:32] <tuna-fish-> x-r00t-x: what?
[05:33] <renihs> its anyway *complete* madness for ubuntu to use gcc-4.0 which is known to be broken
[05:33] <FernandoCordes> tuna-fish-: sure! bill came to your college and said he will suck **** of your headmaster if he would blacklist it
[05:33] <x-r00t-x> tuna-fish-, your ssl port is blocked . that why you cant see the page
[05:33] <renihs> on their long term support edition, but i dont care about that
[05:33] <bradley> my theme manager doesn't seem to load the controls of installed themes. has anyone else had this problem? what is the fix?
[05:33] <tuna-fish-> now it started working. weird indeed
[05:33] <x-r00t-x> lol FernandoCordes
[05:33] <x-r00t-x> tuna-fish-, w*f?
[05:33] <renihs> what i do care about is that the important stuff is broken too (like the modules i need)
[05:33] <FernandoCordes> x-r00t-x nvm -_-
[05:34] <dfcarney> renihs: well, assuming that you've followed the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Amd64 , I suggest that you post on http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=134; to see if anyone else has had similar problems
[05:34] <tuna-fish-> fernandoCordes. they're quite linux frienly here in Finland :)
[05:34] <x-r00t-x> hmm :P FernandoCordes
[05:34] <renihs> dfcarney, i did, they get delted
[05:34] <renihs> deleted
[05:34] <renihs> dissapear i mean :)
[05:34] <dfcarney> renihs: really? that's odd.  no reason was given?
[05:34] <FernandoCordes> tuna-fish-: awesome. they using gnu on your college?
[05:35] <tuna-fish-> part
[05:35] <whyme> frogzoo: it does work if I sudo sh /etc/rc2.d/S100fcsctl... trying again, standby :)
[05:35] <tuna-fish-> many workstations are windows
[05:35] <renihs> dfcarney, not that i know about, but there is one posting describing the same problem
[05:35] <renihs> no answer on that since quite some time
[05:35] <dfcarney> renihs: yeah, i saw that
[05:36] <jenda> How can I rename a single file in an ISO?
[05:36] <Moosejaw> i am trying to add a trashcan to StarterBar in gdesklets...how can i get this done so it opens?
[05:36] <dfcarney> jenda: i don't think it's possible.  you'll need to expand the .ISO, rename it, and re-pack it.
[05:36] <renihs> tja, how am i going to explain to the (wanna have ubuntu) customer that ubuntu doesnt work on ubuntu certified hardware....this is really really ugly now
[05:36] <renihs> bah :(
[05:37] <renihs> and good question since that company bought 8x x4100
[05:37] <dfcarney> renihs: I agree -- it sucks.
[05:37] <renihs> which is quite alot money
[05:37] <mrabbit> hi, torrent downloads on ubuntu are so slow, azureus is configured just as on suse which worked fine on this laptop, the router is set fine, yet my speeds are slow on all torrents
[05:37] <richee> anyone know how I can upgrade modules
[05:37] <jenda> ok
[05:37] <Gamentine> does anyone know where i can modify the eth device enumerations? eth1=>eth0
[05:38] <eltech> whats the easiest way to boot to a prompt and not X?
[05:38] <dfcarney> renihs: Well, if they're paying that much then maybe they'd consider a support contract with Canonical for x4100 support.  I'm not saying that it'll go over well, but it's an option.
[05:38] <whyme> mrabbit: how long has it been?
[05:38] <biotrox> please take a look at this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37199/ and give acomment cause i don't understand this
[05:39] <mrabbit> whyme:what do you mean? i've been using ubutu 6.10 for a week, and its been slow on torrents for all that time, ktorrent is also slow
[05:40] <dfcarney> eltech: if you always want to boot to a prompt, you can disable gdm from starting up.  Something like "sudo update-rc.d -f gdb remove" should do the trick...  Though be careful with that command.
[05:40] <renihs> dfcarney, hehe thats not an option
[05:40] <dfcarney> eltech: rather "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove"
[05:40] <renihs> if canonical says yet it works and it doesnt, i cannot explain the customer to buy additional support to make supported stuff working
[05:40] <mrlinux> kapilg_it, i cant private message
[05:41] <dfcarney> renihs: I agree -- if they say that something is supported and, clearly, it isn't then they should either change their statement or fix it.
[05:41] <heiko> is there a known problem where wlan fails to work after ugrade from edgy to feisty?
[05:41] <dfcarney> renihs: problem being is that most Linux developers have never seen an x4100, let alone worked on one.
[05:41] <whyme> mrabbit: have you tried a different torrent client - see if it's an azureus pbm or not?
[05:42] <kapilg_it> mrlinux: does it show up in sudo fdisk -l
[05:42] <mrlinux> kapilg_it, yes
[05:42] <mrabbit> whyme:just said, ktorrent is just as slow, can usually get an average of 50kb/s on windows/suse(dont use suse anymore) but on ubuntu im lucky to get 20kb/s
[05:42] <mrlinux> kapilg_it, hdb1 and hdb2
[05:42] <adaran> anyone have an idea where to look for alsa docs? the dev docs are no good if you don't have detailed knowledge about soundcards and i don't want to read another "guide to compiling the alsa kernel module". i need something that explains the concepts (what's a card, what's pcm, etc) as understood by alsa. any ideas?
[05:42] <renihs> dfcarney, yes but then it cannot be *certified*!
[05:43] <ox> hi, where's a good place to start on installing xgl/compiz on dapper on dell inspiron 5100?
[05:43] <renihs> canonical cannot certify hardware they have never seen can they?
[05:43] <kapilg_it> mrlinux: what fs type does it show
[05:43] <renihs> i mean, "can" ...ofc they "can"
[05:43] <renihs> dfcarney, http://www.ubuntu.com/sun
[05:43] <renihs> there is a much nicer list :)
[05:44] <jrib> !xgl | ox
[05:44] <ubotu> ox: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-xgl - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[05:44] <renihs> i doubt any of those system works since they all have the same controller (most of them)
[05:44] <mrlinux> kapilg_it, hdb1 is hpfs  hdb2 is ext3
[05:44] <dfcarney> renihs: well, what can I say?  Someone screwed up and didn't test things properly.
[05:45] <kapilg_it> mrlinux : then mount -t ext3 device /media/whereToMount
[05:45] <whyme> frogzoo: loool at me n00bishness - the /etc/init.d/ file wasn't chmod +x .... *sigh* guess I can simply help myself if I RTFM and use my brain. ty anyway ^_^
[05:45] <dfcarney> dfcarney: If I had an x4100 available then I wouldn't mind trying to fix things.
[05:45] <mrabbit> whyme:please help, this torrent gained 3.0% in 7 hours
[05:45] <kapilg_it> mrlinux : make directories hdb1 and hdb2 in /media
[05:45] <renihs> dfcarney, just one more thing, plz take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Amd64
[05:45] <renihs> and tell me that only a *single* sentence makes *any* sence
[05:46] <whyme> mrabbit: you on kde then I gather? What about the native torrent client?
[05:46] <renihs> thats complete jebrish
[05:46] <renihs> THOSE instructions i just POSTED?
[05:46] <mrlinux> kapilg_it, thx
[05:46] <kapilg_it> mrlinux: then fire command "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb2 /media/hdb2
[05:46] <mrabbit> whyme:im on gnome, but i prefer azureus, as i said ive tried ktorrent and its also slow
[05:46] <renihs> those are instructions which makes NO SENSE at all
[05:46] <dfcarney> dfcarney: I understand them...though they're a bit cryptic.
[05:47] <whyme> I use az as well, and don't have problems getting over 1MB/s
[05:47] <renihs> dabaR_, plz show me ONE sentence in those "instructions" which makes ANY sense
[05:47] <dfcarney> renihs:  I understand them...though they're a bit cryptic.
[05:47] <renihs> dfcarney, omg???
[05:47] <renihs> dfcarney, PRE-INSTALLATION: Make sure the BIOS is not configured to boot off the ATAPI CD-ROM. Instead, it should boot off the hard disk.
[05:47] <renihs> LOL????
[05:47] <renihs> LOOOOOL?
[05:47] <kapilg_it> mrlinux : add /modify lines in /etc/fstab so that you get them after every boot
[05:47] <dfcarney> renihs: (I worked for an OS company for 4 years and spent some of my time on certification)
[05:47] <renihs> first sentence
[05:47] <Pons> how the hell is feisty's kernel 2.6.20-1.1 if last kernel's.org stable is <IP_ADDRESS>?
[05:47] <dabaR_> renihs: how about go for a walk to chill out, get a cup of coffee, eat some lunch, and come back relaxed and ask a support question.
[05:47] <mrlinux> ok
[05:47] <renihs> dabaR_, lol
[05:48] <renihs> dont bet in future, i guess you are going to lose always
[05:48] <renihs> me reads instructions :)
[05:48] <whyme> all I can say is go through the wizard, check the advanced option, then go through the entire thing. Folloing that, restart all your networking equipment, making 3xsure that it's all setup correctly.... that's what I do when I get problems, and it's never failed yet.
[05:48] <renihs> just the instructions are written by someone who has no clue at all from linux
[05:49] <Reilithion> anyone or dfcarney: Okay, it looks like gdb mostly either stops execution of the program in order to do its thing, or uses some kind of remote tracepoints system to interface with pieces of code designed specifically for debugging.  I'm looking for something that can search and replace values in RAM on the fly, basically as the program runs.
[05:49] <dfcarney> renihs: Are you kidding?  I don't think they're too bad at all.  Sure, they could use more detail, but it's certainly a start.
[05:49] <mrabbit> somebody please help with my slow torrents, its driving me up the wall
[05:50] <cloom> t
[05:51] <Reilithion> Any more leads out there?
[05:51] <dfcarney> renihs: I could help you through those instructions if you like.
[05:51] <jmgalian> hola
[05:51] <anorexicpillow> i find ktorrent rather slow
[05:51] <dfcarney> Reilithion: sorry, but I can't think of much more to offer.  Messing around with a process's memory is trick business
[05:52] <Reilithion> anorexicpillow: me too.  i use bittornado myself
[05:52] <renihs> dfcarney, i have my own linux distribution, i know what i am doing
[05:52] <renihs> dfcarney, but those instructions are full of spelling errors and make no sense, plz explain me what
[05:52] <Reilithion> dfcarney: Thanks anyway.  I'll keep looking around.
[05:52] <renihs> dfcarney, what this means: (PRE-INSTALL): Make sure the BIOS is not configured to boot off the ATAPI CD-ROM. Instead, it should boot off the hard disk.
[05:53] <dfcarney> Reilithion: one problem that you're going to have to overcome is that a process will map its RAM to a virtual address space
[05:53] <renihs> dfcarney, how am i supposed to install if i disable cdrom?
[05:53] <renihs> btw, why are there spelling errors?
[05:53] <renihs> (off instead of)
[05:53] <garren> does anyone know where can I change login screen resolution please ?
[05:53] <renihs> dfcarney, if you can explain this sentence you are my god
[05:54] <dfcarney> renihs: if you read above, it says "This install uses the netboot method as described in Installation/Netboot."
[05:54] <Lynoure> renihs: off as in synonym of from.
[05:54] <renihs> off=from?
[05:54] <renihs> where?
[05:54] <dfcarney> renihs: Do you know what netbooting is?
[05:54] <renihs> in the us?
[05:54] <renihs> dfcarney, mkay, you are right
[05:55] <jrib> renihs, dfcarney: it may make sense to make the Installation/Netboot a link though
[05:55] <Lynoure> renihs: "boot off the hard disk" I do not know, semicommon geekese.
[05:55] <renihs> anyhow, the rest of the instructions doesnt make more sense neither
[05:55] <dfcarney> renihs: I admit, there *should* be instructions describing how to install off of a CD.
[05:55] <renihs> Make sure to note the first hard disk for the next section. (one is supposed to be in bios at this step=
[05:55] <renihs> what does it help to note the first hard disk in bios?
[05:55] <renihs> the id?
[05:55] <renihs> or what? :)
[05:55] <renihs> boot of the hard disk?
[05:56] <dfcarney> renihs: Probably the SCSI ID so that you can correlate it to a device name.
[05:56] <renihs> i would say :) never have seen boot off
[05:56] <renihs> dfcarney, ah :) which isnt explained how :) an not advanced user will never manage that
[05:56] <dfcarney> renihs: Basically, you need to manually configure grub so that it'll install on the correct device
[05:56] <renihs> i know
[05:56] <renihs> but i find this howto ....crappy
[05:56] <renihs> :)
[05:56] <abarbaccia> hello all, how would i write a stream from STDIN to a file on the command line if i need su privileges to edit the file?
[05:56] <renihs> pointless too :)
[05:57] <dfcarney> renihs: Oh, I agree.  It's not too good at all.
[05:57] <abarbaccia> I can't just use the >
[05:57] <dfcarney> renihs: That's what happens when developers write documentation :)
[05:57] <renihs> hmm i doubt a dev has written that :)
[05:57] <renihs> devs usually go deeper into the matters
[05:57] <jrib> abarbaccia: pipe to sudo tee
[05:57] <abarbaccia> jrib: thanks
[05:57] <dfcarney> renihs: Well, someone who's all-too-familiar with the process wrote it (in a hurry).
[05:57] <psusi> abarbaccia: sudo 'foo > file' iirc
[05:58] <iami89> who there know about VMware?
[05:59] <dfcarney> iami89: I know a bit.  What's your question?
[05:59] <piggyg1> me
[05:59] <piggyg1> Yeah whats your question
[06:00] <iami89> how to change total memory of VGA in win ME from 2mb up to 16mb or more than that?
[06:01] <burepe> I got Japanese installed and when I want to use Japanese I just log in in Japanese, but my friend wants to know how to type in Japanese in the English gui. I know you can install everything you need in the language support settings by choosing Japanese, but how do I get the SCIM (?) started in the English gui?
[06:01] <iami89> hey

[06:02] <dfcarney> iami89: I'm unclear as to what you're asking.  You're running VMware under Linux (Ubuntu), right?  You want to increase the amount of RAM allocated to a particular instance?

[06:02] <floris84> hi!
[06:03] <l3mr> whenever i try to go to console mode in the login manager, i just get a black/blank screen... help!
[06:03] <floris84> while running an application it says a certain file needs to be in my command search path, what is that and how do I add it?
[06:03] <iami89> under Linux(Ubuntu) is true but i want to increase ram of Graphic card(default is 2mb)
[06:04] <Pons> how the hell is feisty's kernel 2.6.20-1.1 if last kernel's.org stable is <IP_ADDRESS>?
[06:04] <jensen> anyone can point me towards some kind of replacement for nautilus for connecting to remote ssh servers?
[06:04] <eltech> whats the package that is required so i can install sysv-rc-conf
[06:04] <DShepherd> Pons, ask in ubuntu+1
[06:04] <eltech> trying to install it
[06:05] <bradley> when i run theme-manager in a terminal i get this warning (gnome-theme-manager:8187): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap" and i can't load the controls of the themes that i installed. how would i fix this?
[06:05] <floris84> @jensen maybe konqueror?
[06:05] <psusi> Pons: because edgy isn't stable?
[06:05] <psusi> err, feisty rather
[06:05] <y3it221_klce> i need HOWTOs for creating a live CD
[06:05] <jensen> floris84, konqueror got a filebrowser like nautilus?
[06:05] <dfcarney> iami89: That's a good question.  I've never needed to do that.  Let me poke around and see what I can find.
[06:05] <jrib> Pons: it's not stable?
[06:06] <floris84> @jensen konqueror is the filebrowser for KDE
[06:06] <Pons> psusi, but, by putting this kernel as 2.6.20 (unexistant yet) they mean it stable
[06:06] <jrib> Pons: feisty questions should go to #ubuntu+1 though
[06:06] <floris84> I liked it when I worked under kde
[06:06] <iami89> ok lets try it
[06:06] <Pons> jrib, http://www.kernel.org
[06:06] <dabaR_> y3it221_klce: http://www.gnewsense.org/Builder/HowToCreateYourOwnGNULinuxDistribution
[06:06] <jrib> Pons: yes?
[06:06] <jensen> floris84, alright, thanks -- I'll give it a shot.. hopefully that does not have the same bugs ;)
[06:06] <floris84> what happens then?
[06:06] <klm-> can anyone find w32codecs in their repo's?
[06:07] <dabaR_> Pons: show where it says that is the ubuntu feisty kernel, the .20...
[06:07] <y3it221_klce> dabaR_: ThankU very much, can i get some more.
[06:07] <dfcarney> iami89: Which VMware product are you using?  Which version?
[06:07] <enric> hi... what is the best IRC client for ubuntu? one with dcc transfer features?
[06:07] <Pons> http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/allpackages.en.txt.gz
[06:07] <dabaR_> klm-: no, it is in a separate repo.
[06:07] <VSpike> if I do an "apt-get update" at the moment, I end up looking at "99% [Waiting for headers] " and nothing else happens. Is something down somewhere?
[06:07] <klm-> dabaR_: where?
[06:07] <Pons> linux-image-2.6.20-1-386 (2.6.20-1.1) Linux kernel image for version 2.6.20 on i386
[06:07] <Pons> linux-image-2.6.20-1-generic (2.6.20-1.1) Linux kernel image for version 2.6.20 on x86/x86_64
[06:07] <jensen> floris84, there is a load of annoying bugs in nautilus unresolved upstream that makes it impossible working on remote ssh servers
[06:08] <floris84> that's too bad, however I never had any trouble with it
[06:08] <Dandre> hello,
[06:08] <nasso> does anyone know how i can convert vob-files to an iso?
[06:08] <dabaR_> !find linux-image feisty
[06:08] <ubotu> Found: linux-image-2.6.17-10-386, linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic, linux-image-2.6.17-10-server, linux-image-2.6.17-10-server-bigiron, linux-image-2.6.19-7-386 (and 31 others)
[06:08] <nasso> i have a VIDEO_TS folder that i want as a iso
[06:08] <Dandre> I haven't found how to install/activate diff plugin for gedit
[06:08] <dabaR_> !find linux-image-2.6.20 feisty
[06:08] <ubotu> Found: linux-image-2.6.20-1-386, linux-image-2.6.20-1-generic, linux-image-2.6.20-1-server, linux-image-2.6.20-1-server-bigiron, linux-image-2.6.20-1-lowlatency
[06:08] <DShepherd> anyone know where I which channel i can go to find out compiz stuff on ubuntu?
[06:08] <jensen> floris84, : I had not untill I started using dapper/edgy
[06:09] <piggyg1> any luck with increasing video memory?
[06:09] <jensen> floris84, : apparently it only affects certain remote servers with certain versions of sshd
[06:09] <omegadar> anyone here running world of warcraft with wine ?
[06:09] <piggyg1> i would like to know how to do that too
[06:09] <y3it221_klce> dabaR_: i guess the link is only for customization
[06:09] <y3it221_klce> can u please give me links for creating linux live cd from scratch
[06:10] <dabaR_> y3it221_klce: of what?
[06:10] <dabaR_> klm-: http://seveas.imbrandon.com/pool/edgy-seveas/extras/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[06:10] <floris84> @jensen hmm well let's hope konqueror doesn't have that problem
[06:10] <floris84> @jensen GoodLuck
[06:10] <klm-> ok thanks. that probably works on dapper too?
[06:10] <y3it221_klce> daba_R: i need ebooks/HOWTOs for creating a live CD from scratch....not customizing an already present Live CD
[06:11] <jensen> floris84, thanks, else I'll have to go back to some ancient ubuntu version or another distro :(
[06:11] <dabaR_> klm-: ya, it is the same package for all versions of ubuntu, or even debian
[06:11] <n2diy> My mouse broke, and Ubuntu isn't playing with my new one, how do I navigate to the menus with out a mouse?
[06:11] <iami89> is anybody here know how to convert NTFS driver 2 EXT3 without lost data?
[06:11] <piggyg1> daba_R: can I have a the ebook on customizing?
[06:12] <pantalaimon_> iami89, make a backup copy, format to ext3, then copy it back :)
[06:12] <dabaR_> y3it221_klce: there exists no such thing. It would be a diff process for rpm vs. gentoo vs. deb distros, and all that. Read that page til you understand what it really does, then look for other info.
[06:12] <dfcarney> iami89: there's no conversion tool for that.  You'll need to copy the data somewhere else, then reformat your partition.
[06:12] <dabaR_> piggyg1: can you scroll up?

[06:12] <munckfish> Hi, I'm updating a Dapper package to add a wee bit of functionality. What's the best way of tweaking the version number so that I don't conflict with real Ubuntu packages?
[06:12] <piggyg1> dabaR_: sure
[06:12] <psusi> iami89: I assume you meant to say convert an ntfs partition ( not driver ) to ext... you backup, format, and restore...
[06:13] <y3it221_klce> dabaR_: thanks
[06:13] <psusi> munckfish: appent '0local' to the version
[06:13] <psusi> append even
[06:13] <munckfish> psusi: great thx
[06:14] <munckfish> psusi: is that in some policy doc somewhere?
[06:14] <psusi> munckfish: probably
[06:14] <dfcarney> iami89: From what I've found on the web, it seems that VMware is shipped with only one "virtual video adapter"...  Though there are some references to multiple adapters for their "GSX" product line.
[06:14] <iami89> nope, i think i've heared somewhere that we can convert them direct without lost any data but i forgot
[06:14] <iami89> is anyone here heard about that?
[06:14] <MasseR> ANyone here using audacious? How come it doesn't play mp3?
[06:15] <n2diy> My mouse broke, and Ubuntu isn't playing with my new one, how do I navigate to the menus with out a mouse?
[06:15] <renihs> iami89, its very easy to convert a physical machine to vmware if you know how
[06:15] <psusi> iami89: there is no such tool to my knowlege
[06:15] <renihs> but for those who do not know how there is a tool
[06:15] <renihs> p2v, physical to virtual
[06:15] <renihs> crappy and expensive
[06:15] <renihs> doesnt work but its there
[06:16] <munckfish> psusi: ok thx (Y)
[06:16] <renihs> i converted more than 100 nt4 workstations and a couple of 2k and 2k3 to vmware meanwhile, using free tools only
[06:16] <myno> does anyone know a good extenction for firefox wich translates from english to italian?
[06:17] <renihs> myno, get yourself stardict
[06:17] <iami89> where're downloaded files which i use apt-get to download?
[06:17] <renihs> it can translate anyhting (application independend)
[06:17] <renihs> by marking it with mouse
[06:17] <myno> thanks very much renihs
[06:17] <dabaR_> iami89: /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:17] <nolimitsoya> iami89, why do you want to know? :) in most cases you shouldnt have to care about that
[06:18] <myno> yes i wanted sonething like that
[06:18] <myno> something
[06:18] <iami89> thanks
[06:19] <iami89> i am going to reinstall my linux
[06:19] <mountainrebel> i'm trying to download libdvdcss and w32codecs, but the plf repositories are down and i can't find ubuntu packages anywhere.  can anyone help?
[06:19] <eltech> what can i use to choose to load services on boot? like xorg or gnome?
[06:19] <dabaR_> mountainrebel: edgy or dapper?
[06:19] <nolimitsoya> iami89, you might want to take a peek at apt-on-cd
[06:20] <mountainrebel> dabaR_: edgy
[06:20] <nceterval> Hello, I'm having trouble upgrading from Dapper to Edgy using apt.  I changed my sources to the new repository, but the dist-upgrade failed.  I tried apt-get -f install and get the following error: http://pastebin.ca/280096    What can I do to fix this and complete the upgrade?
[06:20] <iami89> but my internet connection is 512/256 and its so slow to download all the things i've downloaded
[06:20] <pike_> nceterval: have you apt-get update  yet?
[06:20] <dabaR_> mountainrebel: http://seveas.imbrandon.com/dists/edgy-seveas/extras/
[06:20] <nolimitsoya> iami89, thats exactly why you want aptoncd. then you can use a cd-rw as a repo
[06:20] <nceterval> pike_, Yes :)
[06:21] <mountainrebel> dabaR_: thanks, i'll check it out!
[06:22] <iami89> nope, the things i've downloaded not on cd

[06:23] <matt____> how can i mount an iso file?
[06:23] <dfcarney> matt____: with the 'mount' command
[06:23] <emilia> hey guys, my desktop isnt showing items in /home/myusername/desktop, and i cant right click on my desktop either
[06:23] <nolimitsoya> matt____, sudo mount -o loop /<file> /<dir>
[06:23] <eltech> only gui users here i guess :-(
[06:23] <dfcarney> matt____: type 'man mount' for more info :)
[06:23] <nolimitsoya> eltech, ?
[06:24] <eltech> what can i use to choose to load services on boot? like xorg or gnome? i dont want X
[06:24] <LjL> Ubotu, tell eltech about boot | eltech, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:24] <FernandoCordes> blow the whistle
[06:24] <nolimitsoya> eltech, im not sure im with you... you want to do what?
[06:24] <floris84> if I have an input driver for xfree will it work under xorg?
[06:24] <lassegs> eltech, i saw a guide on that some time a go... let me check for to seconds.
[06:24] <eltech> i want to boot to a promt .. shell
[06:25] <eltech> no X no gdm
[06:25] <nolimitsoya> eltech, just remove gdm
[06:25] <frogzoo> !iso | matt____
[06:25] <ubotu> matt____: To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning.
[06:25] <lassegs> eltech, but you want to keep gdm as an option?
[06:25] <dfcarney> eltech: most of the pre-X stuff is controlled by entries in the /etc/init.d and /etc/rc?.d directories.
[06:25] <dfcarney> eltech: as nolimitsoya said, remove/disable the gdm script to prevent X from starting.
[06:25] <nceterval> pike_, Did you have a look at the error on pastebin?
[06:25] <_Rebecca> Anyone else having streaming audio issues with Mplayer?
[06:26] <nceterval> pike_, It's probably simple to understand, but I don't know enough.
[06:26] <lassegs> _Rebecca, what kind of issues?
[06:26] <eltech> remove from where?
[06:26] <pike_> nceterval: just did.  what does you /etc/environment say
[06:26] <dfcarney> eltech: the command "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" will do the trick, though be really careful with that command.
[06:26] <eltech> using update-rc.d?
[06:26] <matt____> i did sudo mount -o (file) /media
[06:26] <matt____> now, how can i unmount it?
[06:26] <_Rebecca> lassegs I did a system update, and my streaming audio stopped working
[06:26] <nceterval> pike_, PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="en"
[06:26] <dfcarney> matt____: umount /media
[06:26] <_Rebecca> lassegs it was working fine before I updated
[06:26] <nolimitsoya> matt____, substitute mount for umount
[06:27] <nolimitsoya> matt____, you realy shouldnt mount in /media, but in an empty subdir
[06:27] <lassegs> _Rebecca, when you start mplayer from a terminal, does it give you an error message?
[06:27] <l3mr> i can't seem to find docu on the (for me) weird UUID-harddisk descriptors used in edgy instead of good old /dev/sda1 and so... anyknow know a link?
[06:27] <dfcarney> nolimitsoya: good point
[06:27] <matt____> i will remember that
[06:27] <eltech> ok\
[06:28] <matt____> what exactly do i type to unmount it?
[06:28] <lassegs> matt____, sudo umount <dir>
[06:28] <nolimitsoya> l3mr, what do you want to know? the uuid is a unique number for every partition, so you can move discs around interfaces and still boot without changing your fstab every time
[06:28] <mnoir> matt____: start with man umount
[06:28] <dfcarney> l3mr: "udevinfo -e" will give you a tonne of info
[06:28] <_Rebecca> lassegs whats the mplayer command for starting it in the terminal?
[06:29] <nolimitsoya> l3mr, if you want to find the uuid for your partitions try blkid :)
[06:29] <l3mr> nolimitsoya, dfcarney ok, thanks alot guys!
[06:29] <nolimitsoya> _Rebecca, just 'mplayer'
[06:29] <pike_> nceterval: try dpkg-reconfigure locales  or just change all the values in environment to "" leaving PATH untouched
[06:29] <nolimitsoya> l3mr, np :)
[06:29] <eltech> didnt work
[06:29] <nceterval> pike_, OK, and then try apt-get -f install again?
[06:29] <raize> howdy, does ubuntu support the epson pm-a850 all-in-one?
[06:29] <eltech> the update-rc.d
[06:30] <lassegs> _Rebecca,  maybe you'll have to specify the file its supposed to stream when its started from a terminal. Then it should look like mplayer http://mediafileidliketostream.ogg or something
[06:30] <_Rebecca> lassegs, I don't appear to be getting any errors when starting from terminal
[06:30] <dfcarney> eltech: did you prefix the command with "sudo"?  What was the output?
[06:30] <matt____> what happens if i just delete everything in /media?
[06:30] <pike_> nceterval: jsut try maybe distupgrade
[06:30] <dfcarney> matt____: uh, bad things.
[06:30] <pike_> boss is watching gotta go :)
[06:31] <dabaR_> eltech: you ran sudo update-rc.d gdm remove?
[06:31] <nolimitsoya> matt____, youll loose loads of data, probably. and you wont be able to mount cd:S
[06:31] <nolimitsoya> *a
[06:31] <nolimitsoya> **s
[06:31] <mnoir> matt____: then /media would be empty
[06:31] <eltech> yea
[06:31] <dfcarney> matt____: Ubuntu makes a lot of assumptions about certain files and stuff being in directories like /media
[06:31] <dfcarney> mnoir: haha
[06:31] <eltech> gdm exists during rc.d purge
[06:31] <matt____> so, how do i unmount it? do i use sudo unmount /media?
[06:31] <eltech> use -f force
[06:31] <nceterval> pike_, Neither -f install or dist-upgrade worked :(
[06:31] <nolimitsoya> matt____, not unmount, but umount
[06:31] <nceterval> pike_, dist-upgrade recommends that I try -f for unment dependencies.
[06:31] <mnoir> dfcarney: well - he isn't demonstrating much understanding of the concept of mounting....
[06:32] <mnoir> :)
[06:32] <matt____> oh, that did it!
[06:32] <kane77> hi...
[06:32] <nolimitsoya> matt____, good thing :) next time you mount, use mkdir <name> to make an empty folder to mount in
[06:33] <nolimitsoya> !hi | kane77
[06:33] <ubotu> kane77: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:33] <eltech> think i got it.. -f after the command
[06:33] <kane77> I was wondering... is there any brainwave generator for linux??
[06:33] <FifaFrazer> hi.. anyone here using ktechlab?
[06:33] <l3mr> i've installed the nvidia binary drivers using the nvidia installer package, after apt-get remove --purge'ing the restricted modules package...it works immediately after i called the installed, but on next boot i get an incompatible API error when starting X, with the old version number ( the one from restricted modules ). I'm using edgy on amd64... any ideas?
[06:33] <matt____> would it be ok to mount it in /home/matt/cd?
[06:33] <FifaFrazer> what is brainwave?
[06:33] <lassegs> kane77, looking to take over the world?
[06:33] <_Rebecca> lassegs, ok I see a few errors here
[06:33] <nolimitsoya> kane77, yes, loads. thats how we keep the microsoftcontrolled minions of our backs
[06:33] <lassegs> kane77, try to install beep. its cool
[06:34] <kane77> :D lool...
[06:34] <nceterval> l3mr, I'm actually having a similar problem with the nvidia drivers on Debian Sid, though I have no idea how to fix it.
[06:34] <nolimitsoya> matt____, you can mount wherever youd like :)
[06:34] <we2by> hi
[06:34] <lassegs> _Rebecca, try with Totem or rhythmbox
[06:34] <matt____> would it be safe there? as long as its a custom folder, right?
[06:34] <we2by> any one has Ubuntu + Vista?
[06:34] <[angelofdeath0] > im getting this error

[06:48] <nolimitsoya> _Rebecca, could you pass along that media link again?
[06:49] <richee> _Rebecca: gimme the link I will try for you...once again
[06:49] <_Rebecca> nolimitsoya, http://www.kfi640.com/cc-common/streaming_new/index.html?refreshed=yes
[06:50] <_Rebecca> richee, thanks I posted the link above
[06:50] <nolimitsoya> _Rebecca, when i try to read the page it says i cant access it since im not in the us :) you might be getting a weired route
[06:50] <nceterval> pike_, Perhaps I have gotten to the root of the problem: xutils is part of the upgrade, but depends on xutils-dev, which depends on cpp, which depends on xutils-dev!  What should I do?
[06:50] <nolimitsoya> _Rebecca, try tracert to se where youre bouncing
[06:50] <richee> _Rebecca: this one http://<IP_ADDRESS>:80/ccri_ca_losangeles_kfi_am.asf
[06:50] <nolimitsoya> (or is tracert windows? i can almost never remember correctly)
[06:50] <richee> _Rebecca: I am outside US so, I cannot access the other one...

[06:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cab - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:51] <skyrunner> what's the purpose of a .cab file?
[06:52] <nolimitsoya> skyrunner, they are compressed archives, like zip:s
[06:52] <Boknoy> i need a hand installing video codecs..and getting my stoopid bit torrent working  i htink i might have one but i don't know how to install .tar.gz *.tar.bz2..i got the codecs workin, just did some google searching but i still can't get my bit torrent working even if i turn off my firewall
[06:52] <_Rebecca> richee, I gave it a try no luck
[06:52] <nolimitsoya> Boknoy, i gave you a link before. read it, please

[06:52] <skyrunner> thanks =)
[06:52] <Boknoy> nolimitsoya:Where sir?
[06:52] <skyrunner> how can i uncompress it?

[06:53] <Boknoy> Thanks
[06:53] <rosshend> should I use a different kernel if i have a dual core machine with edgy?
[06:53] <nolimitsoya> rosshend, no, use -generic
[06:53] <frogzoo> rosshend: no, generic should work - are you seeing only 1 cpu?
[06:54] <rosshend> no two, so the standard one is generic, yes?
[06:54] <nolimitsoya> rosshend, yes, the -generic one is generic ;)
[06:54] <rosshend> eeexcellent
[06:55] <nolimitsoya> rosshend, is you want to know what kernel you are running just type 'uname -r' in a terminal
[06:55] <richee> _Rebecca: checking...
[06:56] <_Rebecca> richee, Thanks a bunch
[06:56] <tabber> can anyone hel me with this? i'm trying to install some packages and I get: E: Broken packages
[06:56] <globe> is there a way to rollback a synaptic update?  synaptic updated my gdm and now it wont start....
[06:56] <tabber> after trying to install compiz
[06:56] <richee> _Rebecca: np
[06:56] <_Rebecca> richee, I've been googling around all last night and this morining with no luck
[06:56] <tabber> it says that a package has "unmet dependencies"
[06:56] <richee> _Rebecca: chill....
[06:57] <skyrunner> !cabinet
[06:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cabinet - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[06:57] <tabber> anyone?
[06:57] <Tenshi> kde isn't manually starting a session dbus.  Anyone else having this problem, and anyone know of a fix?  Is it started by kdm?
[06:58] <nolimitsoya> skyrunner, do you want to unzip them?
[06:58] <skyrunner> yup
[06:58] <nolimitsoya> skyrunner, then just ask ;) use cabextract
[06:58] <sindrum> Anyone know of any backup tools similar to norton ghost that i can use for ubuntu?
[06:58] <nolimitsoya> sindrum, dd or partimage
[06:58] <globe> tabber: there is a way to have apt-get fill in all the dependencies for you but I don't remember what it is....
[06:58] <skyrunner> thanks nolimitsoya
[06:58] <nolimitsoya> globe, is should do that by default
[06:58] <skyrunner> cabextract available in apt?
[06:58] <tabber> globe: i tried using "fix all broken packages" but it did nothing
[06:59] <nolimitsoya> tabber, whats the problem?
[06:59] <nolimitsoya> skyrunner, yes it is
[06:59] <globe> tabber: no, what you need to do is the option that gets all the depen. of a pkg
[06:59] <tabber> nolimitsoya: i am getting an "E: broken package" error after trying to install compiz
[07:00] <tabber> i had it before but it stopped working
[07:00] <nolimitsoya> tabber, 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall <package>'
[07:00] <globe> is there a way to rollback a synaptic update to gdm?
[07:00] <richee> _Rebecca: does this work....I don't think it works
[07:00] <nolimitsoya> globe, no
[07:00] <richee> _Rebecca: the link I mean
[07:00] <tabber> nolimitsoya: i get : The following packages have unmet dependencies:  compiz: Depends: compiz-plugins (>= 0.2) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
[07:01] <nolimitsoya> globe, well, there is, but its not the solution you are looking for :)
[07:01] <_Rebecca> richee, yep works fine
[07:01] <nolimitsoya> tabber, then someones messed up the repos. try 'sudo apt-get install -f'
[07:01] <globe> nolimitsoya: hmm.  okay, well synaptic updated my gdm about 10 minutes ago and now I am stuck on tty
[07:01] <_Rebecca> richee, used it many, many times before
[07:01] <drkm> does anyone know what I need to call through apt-get install to install kylix-lib
[07:01] <nolimitsoya> globe, tty=cli?
[07:01] <globe> nolimitsoya: yes
[07:02] <tabber> nolimitsoya: nothing :(
[07:02] <nolimitsoya> globe, try reinstalling it
[07:02] <globe> drkm check 'apt-cache search kylix-lib'
[07:02] <drkm> globe: thanks
[07:02] <nolimitsoya> tabber, well, compiz-plugins is somehow not installable. someones fouled up the repo is my guess...
[07:03] <drkm> globe: nothing came up, does that means its not available through apt-get?
[07:03] <nolimitsoya> tabber, you can try sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins
[07:03] <nolimitsoya> drkimyou might be lacking the right repos. enable universe and multiverse, for starters
[07:03] <globe> drkm: no, not exactly, but it does mean that that package is not available in the repositories that you have selected.
[07:04] <nolimitsoya> drkm, you can also try /msg the bot the name of the package
[07:04] <tabber> nolimitsoya: i think the problem has to do with a "csm" package
[07:04] <tabber> it says: Package csm is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[07:04] <nolimitsoya> drkm, like so: '/msg ubotu info <package>'
[07:05] <drkm> ok thanks
[07:05] <nolimitsoya> tabber, might very well be. cant help you, esecialy since compiz is not part of ubuntu. the recommendation is to use beryl anyways
[07:06] <tabber> nolimitsoya: i was thinking, but the wiki says that beryl is somehow less stable, is that true?
[07:06] <globe> nolimitsoya: reinstall => gdm still hangs b4 loading windows manager
[07:06] <nolimitsoya> tabber, i have no idea. i find them both useless and downright stupid :)
[07:06] <fuoco> what game is good to try to check my 3d capabilities ?
[07:06] <nolimitsoya> globe, what does startx give you?
[07:07] <DShepherd> anyone got the cairco-clock that is on the edgy-backports to run properly
[07:07] <nolimitsoya> fuoco, quake4 :)
[07:07] <tabber> nolimitsoya: lol, thanks anyways
[07:07] <globe> nolimitsoya: they are best used for impressing vista-oriented peopl ;-)
[07:07] <jrib> tabber: what I can tell you is beryl is not stable, i just returned from a reboot after X locking up
[07:07] <fuoco> nolimitsoya: is it free ?
[07:07] <nolimitsoya> fuoco, no
[07:07] <dabaR_> DShepherd: do you have to run beryl to run cairo-clock?
[07:07] <fuoco> nolimitsoya: well... so something free... :)
[07:07] <globe> nolimitsoya: same thing, it hangs with just a cursor
[07:07] <nolimitsoya> fuoco, try planet penguin racer
[07:07] <globe> dabaR_: yes
[07:08] <fuoco> nolimitsoya: yeah that's what i tried, but i get 3 fps with it
[07:08] <globe> dabaR_: well, no, but it won't look right w/o it
[07:08] <tabber> jrib: are you using an ATI video card? there was an issue with hard locks
[07:08] <spikeb> alright, i have totem-xine, libxine-extracodecs, and libdvdcss2 all installed, and totem (or any other xine based player) still refuses to play dvds. any suggestions?
[07:08] <fuoco> nolimitsoya: and 1500 with glxgears
[07:08] <DShepherd> dabaR_, i think it will run.. but you wont get the nice gui goodness. do you have it installed?
[07:08] <nolimitsoya> fuoco, then 3d isnt working, obviously
[07:08] <dabaR_> no
[07:08] <jrib> tabber: nvidia
[07:08] <DShepherd> dabaR_, ok.
[07:08] <tabber> jrib: nvm then :p
[07:08] <dabaR_> do you need a nvidia or ati for beryl? How do I find out whether I can run it?
[07:08] <pantalaimon_> my firefox 1.5 is freezing sometimes... is anyone having the same problem?
[07:08] <fuoco> nolimitsoya: it wasn't working. now it's supposed to be working but it doesn't seem so with pprace
[07:08] <fuoco> r

[07:09] <DShepherd> dabaR_, hmmm not sure.. check the internet maybe
[07:09] <spikeb> dabaR_: no you dont
[07:09] <spikeb> dabaR_: you can use an intel card with it too
[07:09] <nolimitsoya> fuoco, that tells me nothing
[07:09] <sparrow> hello
[07:09] <nolimitsoya> pantalaimon_, thats usualy related to flash
[07:09] <DShepherd> when i start the cairo-clock in compiz/beryl i just get a white square block. Anyone know how i can get around this?
[07:10] <nolimitsoya> !hi | sparrow
[07:10] <ubotu> sparrow: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:10] <fuoco> nolimitsoya: i had 20-25 fps in glxgears when it really wasn't working. now i'm up to 1500 in glxgears. ppracer was unplayable, now it's hardly playable with 3 fps
[07:10] <sparrow> i got a question, I want my ubuntu to do all the clever 3d desktop effects I have seen in mandriva one
[07:10] <nolimitsoya> !beryl | sparrow
[07:10] <ubotu> sparrow: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[07:11] <sparrow> i tried ubuntu 7.04 (the beta test one), because it talked about it in it's blurb
[07:11] <eps> I get this error when I tried to run sudo nvidia-glx-config enable under 6.10
[07:11] <eps> Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed
[07:11] <eps> the nvidia driver for your running kernel.
[07:11] <sparrow> but could not see how to get it
[07:11] <nolimitsoya> eps, install 'kernel-headers'
[07:12] <eps> kernel-headers only brings up 2.4 kernel options :|
[07:12] <nolimitsoya> sparrow, as the bot said, try #ubuntu-glx ;) anyways, beryl is experimental, breaks alot and shouldnt be used
[07:12] <richee> hi Ubugtu
[07:12] <richee> hi ubotu
[07:13] <StephenL> nolimitsoya: that is misleading.
[07:13] <sparrow> thanks
[07:13] <nolimitsoya> eps, 'sudo apt-get install  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`'
[07:13] <dabaR_> eps, nolimitsoya he likely needs the restricted rather...
[07:13] <eps> nolimitsoya those are listed with an 'i'
[07:13] <nolimitsoya> dabaR_, right you are >_<
[07:13] <StephenL> sparrow: i use the svn builds of beryl.  works fine for me and i use it on my main work computer
[07:13] <sparrow> i looked at beryl, it is not the one I want, I wanted the gnome one
[07:13] <sparrow> glx sounds right
[07:14] <sparrow> i will look into it
[07:14] <spikeb> compiz is what you want then heh
[07:14] <StephenL> sparrow: beryl runs in gnome
[07:14] <eps> dabaR_ I have -generic...I am installing -386 now to see if that fixes it
[07:14] <dabaR_> eps do you use a pentium based x86 architecture cpu, and do you have linux-restricted-modules-386 installed?
[07:14] <nolimitsoya> eps, no, dont
[07:14] <sysdoc> sparrow, there are howto's in the wiki and the forum for beryl, also you can see this channel #beryl
[07:14] <eps> oh
[07:14] <richee> _Rebecca: no luck :(
[07:14] <jenniferj> holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[07:15] <richee> hi jenniferj
[07:15] <eps> dabaR_ yes
[07:15] <_Rebecca> richee, thanks for tryin
[07:15] <nolimitsoya> eps, you should be using -generic. just install the restricted. i had a slip of mind there...
[07:15] <sparrow> ok, thanks
[07:15] <jenniferj> que tal
[07:15] <dabaR_> eps: and ya, 386 is for x86 in fact, nolimitsoya
[07:15] <SilentDis> 'lo :)
[07:15] <richee> _Rebecca: welcome, how did it play, u tried in windows
[07:15] <nolimitsoya> dabaR_, ?
[07:15] <richee> jenniferj: que tal?
[07:16] <ady> I have installed some Ham Radio progs, but I cannot locate them in the menu, how do I access these programs?
[07:16] <eps> I have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17 installed
[07:16] <nolimitsoya> dabaR_, im not sure what you are getting at, but my point was that -generic has obsoleted all other kernels
[07:16] <_Rebecca> richee, it worked in Ubuntu fine, then I did a software update yesterday and it stopped working
[07:16] <jenniferj> que tal richee
[07:16] <dabaR_> nolimitsoya: do an aptitude search for headers, and for restricted, and see what the desciption of the package says, it is weird...
[07:16] <richee> _Rebecca: did it work with Xine mplayer?
[07:16] <eps> and I have linux-restricted-modules-common installed as well
[07:17] <eps> what am I missing
[07:17] <nolimitsoya> dabaR_, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic ?
[07:17] <skyrunner> what to do if the install file is .rdf?
[07:17] <ady> I have installed some Ham Radio progs, but I cannot locate them in the menu, how do I access these programs?
[07:17] <nolimitsoya> dabaR_, whats you point? :)
[07:17] <eltech> should atftpd be set to start as boot or will it start on its own?
[07:17] <jrib> eps: the wiki page claims you should use nvidia-xconfig in edgy
[07:17] <_Rebecca> richee, not sure about Xine, all I have used is Mplayer and Mplayer-plugin for firefox
[07:17] <nolimitsoya> skyrunner, you dont install it. ;)
[07:17] <SilentDis> !multiverse | ady
[07:17] <ubotu> ady: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[07:17] <richee> _Rebecca: oh ! boy !
[07:17] <eltech> or should inetd be set to start? if so i dnt see the file to add to update-rc.d
[07:18] <eps> jrib is 6.10 edgy?
[07:18] <ady> do i need to install it?
[07:18] <SilentDis> ady:  sorry, misunderstood your question.  check their man pages (man <programname>), or just try running the package directly at a prompt.
[07:18] <skyrunner> damm because im trying to install gecko for wine and in #winehq nobody seems to know how
[07:18] <dabaR_> eps: aptitude search linux-restricted-modules-386 show me that line for that package.
[07:18] <nolimitsoya> eps, justtry 'sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`' and see what falls out
[07:18] <jrib> eps: yep, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia 'nvidia-xconfig' is the whole command
[07:19] <nolimitsoya> dabaR_, the depends are messed up for all the nvidia packages
[07:19] <nolimitsoya> dabaR_, they all depend on 386, when it should be -generic
[07:19] <drkm> if i'm installing applications which don't come through ADD/REMOVE etc or package manager, how can I keep track of the apps so my system doesn't get messy?
[07:20] <SilentDis> ady:  once you've installed a program in synaptic, it's on your machine and ready to use.  make sure it 'works' (try running it from the console), then you can add it to your menus under gnome/kde :)
[07:20] <eps> linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-386 is already the newest version.
[07:20] <skyrunner> eps what u trying to do?
[07:20] <nolimitsoya> eps, then you are running 386 and not generic
[07:20] <eps> skyrunner enable nvidia drivers :|
[07:20] <SilentDis> drkm:  a text document with what you've installed is a good way ;)
[07:21] <skyrunner> uhm
[07:21] <eps> I copied this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[07:21] <nolimitsoya> drkm, you cant. not easily anyways... you can keep track of the files in bin, but thats just messy
[07:21] <skyrunner> eps, computer specs?
[07:21] <peter07> hi, enybody use wifi-radar?
[07:21] <SilentDis> !envy | eps
[07:21] <ubotu> eps: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy
[07:22] <peter07> i have problem with wpa config
[07:22] <eps> skyrunner it is a amd some thing or other with a nvidia gf4 mx440 (I checked and it isn't considered legacy)
[07:22] <drkm> SilentDis: urgh lol
[07:22] <mats> peter07: i use kismet?
[07:22] <drkm> nolimitsoya: have you heard of a program called CheckMake I think it does something like what I want but I'm not too sure
[07:22] <peter07> mats: it has gui and it's simple?
[07:22] <skyrunner> what ubuntu are you using?
[07:22] <Flare> why do i cannot uninstall GRUB in FC 4
[07:22] <eps> xubuntu 6.10
[07:22] <Flare> why do i cannot uninstall GRUB in FC 4 ,help me
[07:23] <nolimitsoya> drkm, theres a thing called checkinstalled, but its dangerous... very much so
[07:23] <peter07> mats: i need to configure connection with AP using wpa
[07:23] <nolimitsoya> *checkinstall
[07:23] <pestilence> can you net-boot the livecd?
[07:23] <jrib> nolimitsoya: dangerous?
[07:23] <skyrunner> D : i hate hangovers
[07:23] <nolimitsoya> !checkinstall | jrib
[07:23] <ubotu> jrib: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[07:24] <jrib> nolimitsoya: so it's not dangerous if you use it correctly?
[07:24] <eps> so removing enable makes it work, I see
[07:24] <eps> thank you all :)
[07:24] <skyrunner> $ sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common
[07:24] <skyrunner> $ sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[07:24] <spikeb> ahhhh i fixed it
[07:25] <skyrunner> sorry, eps
[07:25] <skyrunner> $ sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[07:25] <Flare> i had key 'rpm -e grub' say 'exist 255'
[07:25] <eps> skyrunner I'm sorry; I got confused over which version of ubuntu was which one :|
[07:25] <nolimitsoya> jrib, bad luck is bad luck :) skydiving, basejumping or riding niagara in a barrel is not dangerous if all goes well either
[07:25] <eps> I didn't realise edgy was 6.10 so I ran the other command
[07:25] <Flare> why do i cannot uninstall GRUB in FC 4 ,help me
[07:25] <peter07> maybe somebody know how to configure wi-fi connection with wpa using gui ( something like wifi-radar ) ?
[07:25] <skyrunner> so you're running edgy?
[07:25] <eps> I'm running 6.10 :|
[07:26] <eps> if that is edgy then yes
[07:26] <nolimitsoya> jrib, -> "CheckInstall occasionally sets incorrect access permissions for your root directory (/), resulting in the inability to execute most commands or perform most operations on the system." :P
[07:27] <spikeb> apparently my dvd drive needed its region set correctly :)
[07:27] <SilentDis> eps:  did you check out the envy webpage that ubotu sent you yet?  I was having a ton of problems with setting up the nvidia drivers myself, till i found that script.  just run once and it's DONE. :)

[07:27] <skyrunner> i actually dont know if 6.10 is edgy D :

[07:28] <spikeb> FernandoCordes: i fixed it :)
[07:28] <FernandoCordes> n1ce
[07:28] <eps> :P
[07:28] <skyrunner> ok it is
[07:28] <FernandoCordes> everything's in da wiki
[07:28] <skyrunner> so eps do this
[07:28] <skyrunner> gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:28] <eps> yes?
[07:29] <skyrunner> oh wait it's in spanish D :
[07:29] <eps> skyrunner I have nvidia drivers enabled now :D
[07:29] <eps> hehe
[07:29] <skyrunner> oh lol
[07:29] <CokeNCode> how do i get bitchx to operate in stealth mode, or at very least change the ctcp VERSION response?
[07:29] <skyrunner> then dont do nothin
[07:29] <spikeb> thoggen isn't cooperating with me very well though
[07:29] <eps> if you remove the enable from the sudo nvidia-config line it works :D
[07:29] <eps> magic!
[07:29] <renihs> soo lame, with the unsupported version it works and with the ubuntu certified it doesnt
[07:29] <renihs> incredible
[07:29] <amonkey> is there a good way to do a copy and verify? copying over the network and i want to be sure.
[07:29] <eps> scp
[07:29] <skyrunner> still can't seem to install wine_gecko
[07:30] <renihs> btw, if anyone from canonical is here and you guys need help on howto do a certification process we could help you out
[07:30] <amonkey> eps, i'm copying from a windows share, can i use that?
[07:30] <eps> amonkey man scp
[07:31] <eps> you can copy from any location to any location I believe
[07:31] <eps> though usual cp should report errors
[07:31] <eps> all I/O errors are definitely enabled
[07:32] <amonkey>  eps, it's from windows so i worry.
[07:33] <SilentDis> amonkey:  you should be able to check the md5sum for the copied file, as well as the source file...
[07:33] <eps> amonkey I personally would compress it and then decompress
[07:33] <eps> that way it will be checked; and once it is verified delete the original source (if you are that paranoid)
[07:33] <eps> look into using RAR
