[06:20] <puff> I'm setting up a server;  figuring that a boot partition, a swap partition the same size as my memory (2 GB), and then a root partition, a home partition, and a separate partition for web stuff.
[06:20] <bullium> bradley, I read about it a little in college
[06:20] <doofus> buy AMD
[06:20] <doofus> buy AMD
[06:20] <puff> Any thoughts?
[06:20] <doofus> buy AMD
[06:20] <matthew1429> you suggested that I remove it and boot and replug it in
[06:20] <doofus> sorry
[06:20] <doofus> :)
[06:20] <matthew1429> success!
[06:20] <lzhang> crdlb: in the xorg log file, under Supported VESA modes, it only goes up to 1280x1024 for some reason
[06:20] <doofus> buy AMD
[06:20] <doofus> buy AMD
[06:20] <doofus> buy AMD
[06:20] <doofus> sorry
[06:20] <Alex__> pike_; what else would i ineed a partition for besides root and swap?
[06:20] <blanky> uh...
[06:20] <doofus> AMD cheaper and BETTER IMHO

[06:21] <doofus> yes My worship!
[06:21] <pike_> puff: sounds like a plan.  id consider making a partition for /tmp and formatting it xfs ive been meaning to see if that speeds things up a bit myself
[06:21] <jair> pike_: nope, I get this error-> -su: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
[06:21] <bradley> hey man, how do I register my name.
[06:21] <Alex__> pike_: i set up partition for root and swap, anything else needed?
[06:21] <Supercross> can someone assist me with ram timing troubleshooting?
[06:22] <doofus> Bradley : /msg nickserv register <pass>
[06:22] <doofus> sorry supercross im not a Geek
[06:22] <doofus> :P
[06:22] <pike_> Alex__: thats it i guess.  i normally make /home a seperate partition so that i can carry over all my configs and stuff if i have to reinstall.  but the way you have now is standard for ubuntu
[06:22] <jair> pike_: check this---> http://rafb.net/p/2G6Ch661.html
[06:22] <Supercross> i'm not either....but my ubuntu is borked and I just installed it and it wont work
[06:22] <bmillham> Thanks pike_. My sudoers problem is fixed! (Now I need to figure out what caused it)
[06:22] <ceeg> is doc.gwos.org down for anyone else?
[06:23] <jair> pike_: that is the information of my sound card
[06:23] <puff> pike_:  I'm not too worried about speed, mostly worried about mantainability;  I figure a separate home partition so I can back it up easily;  a separtae web partition for the same reason, since there're some pretty hefty websites being move onto this box.
[06:23] <doofus> hay can xchat have nick completion?
[06:23] <Talaman> hello
[06:23] <Talaman> sure
[06:23] <ceeg> doofus: tab key
[06:23] <jair> pike_: so it looks like the kernel can see it, but not use it properly
[06:23] <doofus> thats not true nick completion
[06:23] <doofus> :P
[06:23] <Talaman> works for me
[06:23] <puff> What're people's feelings about LVM?
[06:24] <doofus> im an irc junkie from way back :P
[06:24] <doofus> and did some scripting
[06:24] <puff> I'm looking at it and I'm thinking I probably don't really need the complication.
[06:24] <Talaman> xchat is the bomb
[06:24] <phasegen> Can anyone help?  All my filesharing programs quit working.  They won't open at all.
[06:24] <Talaman> love it
[06:24] <puff> phasegen: Did you check the log files?
[06:24] <doofus> Xchat is all Linux has?!!!?!
[06:24] <doofus> or best it has?
[06:24] <phasegen> how?
[06:24] <puff> doofus: Not at all.
[06:24] <Alex__> pike_: when i have a logical set up to / how come it is saying "No root File"
[06:24] <Talaman> hey, i got n issue...my screensavers aren't working right
[06:24] <puff> doofus: Not that either :-).
[06:24] <puff> doofus: Ever heard of emacs?
[06:24] <pike_> jair: why did you choose not to use generic kernel again?
[06:24] <Supercross> if memtest will never complete is it pretty definite my ram is screwed?
[06:24] <doofus> well .. what is like mirc?
[06:25] <doofus> coz i would rather a mirc interface
[06:25] <puff> phasegen: Typically applications log to /var/log/whatever.  For example, apache webserver logs ot /var/log/apache/error and /var/log/apache/access.
[06:25] <Talaman> they work when i do the test...wbut when they are actually supposed to kick in, the display a black screen with a big white X
[06:25] <mon^rch> hey... is there a gui app that makes web pages for linux...kinda like forntpage?
[06:25] <knicknic> doofus just install mirc with wine
[06:25] <puff> phasegen: Go look and see if your filesharing programs have any obvious logs there.
[06:25] <doofus> can someone write a eggy cfg for me :)
[06:25] <doofus> wine Pah!
[06:25] <doofus> ever works for me
[06:25] <jair> pike_: I choose the Linux ubuntur51 2.6.15-28-686 instead the 2.6.15-28-386 because I am using a pentium Centrino
[06:25] <doofus> never*
[06:25] <Talaman> xchat isn't all linux has...but it's far better than Mirc
[06:25] <puff> phasegen: If so, look at them.  If not, then you may have to hunt in the other logs.
[06:26] <jair> pike_: that is all I did upgrade the kernel
[06:26] <doofus> u reckon
[06:26] <doofus> ?
[06:26] <doofus> cani add scripts ? or downlaod full scripts?
[06:26] <mzanfardino> I have created an ISO file from the command line and would like to burn it to a disc from the command line.  Is there a simple proceedure to do this?
[06:26] <mon^rch> is there a web page builder for linux (gui)?
[06:26] <doofus> get GnomeBaker screw cmd line
[06:26] <doofus> :)
[06:26] <phasegen> puff: nothing there
[06:26] <doofus> yea Mon is there let me know if there is
[06:26] <doofus> !
[06:27] <crdlb> mon^rch, nvu is a wysiwyg editor
[06:27] <pike_> jair: im sorry. not sure whats going on there
[06:27] <jair> pike_: I am following the link from the web site alsasound
[06:27] <mon^rch> ty crdlb
[06:27] <knicknic> crdlb it is too a wysiwyg editor
[06:27] <jair> pike_: is ok. Thank you
[06:27] <Talaman> there are some basic xchat scripts out there in python, perl, or tel(?)
[06:27] <puff> phasegen: Okay, so do ls -l /var/log, and look at the file modification dates, then try to start it again and then do ls -l /var/log again and see what changed the modification date.
[06:28] <pike_> jair: generic should have smp support though i dont think there is a speed increase really for custom kernel
[06:28] <Alex__> pike_: what would i format te partition to for a / file system
[06:28] <crdlb> knicknic, ?
[06:28] <Talaman> i wrote some basic ones for what i like, and downloaded one or two others that i later edited
[06:28] <pike_> Alex__: ext3 is standard for ubuntu
[06:28] <doofus> i wonder if i could run Fusion under wine
[06:28] <mon^rch> yeah, thankx again crdlb
[06:28] <doofus> awesome webby editor

[06:36] <da-vinci> why don't ubuntu is sold with packages

[06:37] <Mez> regeya, I'm not egging anything on, I'm just doing what needs to be done
[06:37] <evolipel> guys -- does anyone know why my wireless card might not be "associating"?
[06:37] <regeya> WinXpPro: so drop it and let's get on with it. :-)
[06:37] <bobo> how bout a ban for winxppro just for being stupid
[06:37] <WinXpPro> thats not a flood
[06:37] <regeya> !hostile
[06:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hostile - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:37] <Mez> WinXpPro, yes, however they were amongst a flood, which is why it was called
[06:37] <regeya> well.

[06:37] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[06:38] <evolipel> ...guys?
[06:38] <evolipel> yeah basically
[06:38] <WinXpPro> and could bring the channel to a Screeching halt
[06:38] <xprimarysuspectx> wow win, your a scary guy!
[06:38] <Mulder> will feisty be LTS ?
[06:38] <WinXpPro> but i wont
[06:38] <da-vinci> Mez why isn't the ubuntu sold alongwith the full packages
[06:38] <Talaman> screensavers anyone?
[06:38] <evolipel> I have one of those laptops with the little button on the left side to enable it
[06:38] <regeya> bobo: WinXpPro, depsite having a caustic nic, is a human, which is what ubuntu is for.  if y'all are going to start banning "stupid" people, I've been hearing that OpenSUSE is nice.
[06:38] <pike_> Mulder: nope
[06:38] <Squillis> evening
[06:38] <evolipel> and I've done the whole acerhk thing (for acer hotkeys), so it works
[06:38] <evolipel> and I don't think that's the problem
[06:38] <regeya> you are a human, aren't you WinSrev
[06:38] <Squillis> is there an alternative to network-manager that support static ips?
[06:38] <regeya> erm
[06:38] <evolipel> but I'm trying to configure it, but it won't connect
[06:39] <Mulder> pike_, hmm. ok. how long will LTS release cycles be? every 5 years?
[06:39] <puff> phasegen: Can you be more specific?
[06:39] <SeveredCross> Feisty will be LTS as soon as the next version after Feisty comes out?
[06:39] <SeveredCross> No>?
[06:39] <evolipel> and yes, it can scan the various access points and give them correctly
[06:39] <tonyyarusso> SeveredCross: no.
[06:39] <puff> phasegen: Btw, I don't use any of these file sharing app myself, so I'm running out ofs uggestions.
[06:39] <jones> what is the best widget type program?
[06:39] <phasegen> puff:  where can I paste to?
[06:39] <SeveredCross> Aha. I had no idea.
[06:39] <beg1689> widget type program?
[06:40] <SeveredCross> I figured releases usually went to LTS status as soon as the next release came out.
[06:40] <jones> i have seen gdesklets an screenlets but dont know what works best in gnome
[06:40] <Talaman> hello?
[06:40] <SeveredCross> phasegen: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.com
[06:40] <regeya> and we seem to be getting rid of stupid people now...damn, I really don't want to switch distributions, but if ubuntu is going all debian on me, well, I refuse to use debian because the userbase/support/dev team is hostile and juvenile.  guess it's time to research the current linux distro scene.
[06:40] <pike_> evolipel: yeah make sure the switch is on so you can transmit.   what does 'sudo iwconfig eth1 essid whateverAPname; sudo dhclient eth1' say?   where eth1 is whatever your device name is.
[06:41] <xprimarysuspectx> ive looked through the ubntu sound roums a bit, but i specifically need help with a x-fi card. creative isnt supporting linux with this card currently, i would like to know if any info on a hack/workaround/magictrick is available? helps appreciated
[06:41] <xprimarysuspectx> *ubuntu
[06:41] <Talaman> check out linux.org
[06:41] <jair> pike_: and the rest
[06:41] <Talaman> there are a few other distros i was going to look into

[06:42] <nxe`brian> #rails
[06:42] <pike_> jair: what fixed it?
[06:42] <jair> I just choose the alsa to manage my volume

[06:44] <NoSense> i have upgraded to feisty fawn beta and my ps/2 mouse doesn't work
[06:45] <pike_> NoSense: maybe a quick 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' will fix?

[06:45] <NoSense> i have tried it
[06:45] <pike_> NoSense: usb?
[06:45] <NoSense> usb works
[06:45] <NoSense> im now with a usb keyboard
[06:45] <SeveredCross> NoSense: Checked your xorg?
[06:46] <NoSense> my ps/2 keyboard doesn't work
[06:46] <xprimarysuspectx> ive looked through the ubuntu sound forums a bit, but i specifically need help with a x-fi card. creative isnt supporting linux with this card currently, i would like to know if any info on a hack/workaround/magictrick is available? helps appreciated? anyone have a resource or something?
[06:46] <NoSense> its like my ps/2 doesn't exist
[06:46] <vexati0n> good idea or bad idea: install project looking glass on feisty fawn
[06:46] <vexati0n> ?
[06:47] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: i dont know about fawn, i installed it on edgy, scary buggy. hosed my system worse than beryl
[06:47] <pepeluis> xdrae cmo lo ejecuto en ubuntu?
[06:47] <tonyyarusso> !es | pepeluis
[06:47] <ubotu> pepeluis: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[06:47] <vexati0n> xprimarysuspectx, i haven't had any problems with beryl at all..
[06:48] <vexati0n> just hoping not to screw my x
[06:48] <pike_> NoSense: might mention that in ubuntu+1 might not be a bug report on it yet
[06:48] <NoSense> so it can be a not reported bug?
[06:48] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: i havent had to many problems with beryl either personally, but tons of people had trouble stopping it from screwing x, thats what looking glass did for me :D'
[06:48] <evolipel> so guys... did anyone else have a problem with their wireless card not "associating"?
[06:48] <CBDM> since the Server 6.06.1 ISOis broken, what is the next best thing to run?
[06:49] <evolipel> (despite numerous configuration attempts and apparently it working for everyone else)
[06:49] <puff> evolipel: What software are you using to control your wireless card?
[06:49] <vexati0n> eh. beryl is prettier than PLG anyway :P
[06:49] <puff> vexati0n: I've really gotta try out uberyl sometime.
[06:49] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: i also know that they used to have a demo of looking glass so that you can play with it, but it doesnt install anything
[06:49] <xprimarysuspectx> if you havent you could always try that out
[06:50] <puff> xprimarysuspectx: Yah, that's what uberyl reportedly is;  an ubuntu live CD but using beryl.
[06:50] <Arko> to bring ra0 up, I have to type some commands. I put then in a file inside /etc/init.d, but it is not working on boot. any help?
[06:50] <Talaman>  anyone?
[06:50] <pike_> NoSense: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186689 might offer some insight in workaround
[06:50] <xprimarysuspectx> puff:i bet that runs slow as hell :D
[06:50] <puff> Talaman: What issues?
[06:50] <puff> xprimarysuspectx: Why would it?
[06:50] <Talaman> screensavers not working
[06:50] <Talaman> they work in test mode
[06:51] <puff> Talaman: In what sense  not working?
[06:51] <NoSense> pike_, i cannot copy the urle becouse i have not mouse :D
[06:51] <xprimarysuspectx> puff: live cd's have always run slow for me a bit, i couldnt imagine with berly as well
[06:51] <Talaman> no worky in runmode
[06:51] <xprimarysuspectx> beryl
[06:51] <puff> Talaman: Which screen saver?
[06:51] <Talaman> it displays black screen with white X
[06:51] <stutsman> I"m having issues playing mp3s in Ubuntu... its hard to actually ask a specific question because I get different errors. I"ve tried installing all the codecs and stuff and tried several different players. Some won't play a mp3 at all. SOme will freeze, some will do ok until I load a play list, others will do all that and start to play the mp3s but after so long into the first song it crashes. Is there anything I can do?
[06:51] <Talaman> all screensavers
[06:51] <pike_> NoSense: well nothing worth having is ever easy ;p
[06:51] <arch_> how can I get gnome to either set the root background, or allow another program (like qiv or feh) to set the root background? (trying to get conky working properly)
[06:51] <puff> Talaman: Ah, so xscreensaver, then?
[06:52] <Alex__> would you guys suggest beryl or some other similar addon?
[06:52] <puff> Talaman: When you say "no worky",what precisely do you mean?
[06:52] <xprimarysuspectx> where is my FREAKIN! cell phone..seriously, any ideas on x-fi in Ubuntu? anyone!
[06:52] <puff> Alex__: Only for fun.
[06:52] <puff> xprimarysuspectx: 'fraid not.
[06:52] <NoSense> pike_, i have mouse, but its ps/2 and my ps/2 ports seems not to work
[06:52] <xprimarysuspectx> puff: :(
[06:52] <puff> Talaman:  Ah, sorry, missed you black screen comment.
[06:52] <Talaman> it displays black screen with white X
[06:52] <Alex__> puff: i know just for fun hehe, but is that the best of that class of addons?
[06:52] <NoSense> pike_, sorry but i have been trying a lot of things and im a bit nervous :(
[06:52] <xprimarysuspectx> i have a 250 dollar sound card, and i have to revert to onboard with linux :( SAD
[06:53] <puff> stutsman: I had a lot of issues with that, dunno what to tell you.
[06:53] <vexati0n> xprimarysuspectx, next time research your overpriced hardware before you pay for it :P
[06:53] <stutsman> puff: Were you ever able to get anything to work for you?
[06:53] <evolipel> "unassociated" in iwconfig anyone?
[06:53] <evolipel> anyone?
[06:53] <Talaman> it could be xscreensaver...not sure where to check for that
[06:53] <evolipel> Bueller?
[06:53] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n:maybe YOUR in the ceiling! and its not over-priced. Its a great card, in windows!
[06:53] <Talaman> not sure why they work in test mode but not in regular mode
[06:54] <vexati0n> xprimarysuspectx, nothing is great in windows.
[06:54] <vexati0n> ok i'll stop now.
[06:54] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: i hate you
[06:54] <SeveredCross> xprimarysuspectx: The drivers should be available in Q2 2007 from Creative.
[06:54] <SeveredCross> Just deal with it until then.
[06:54] <Talaman> vex, that's not true
[06:54] <lauchazombie> in grub hd0 is equal to hda right?
[06:54] <puff> stutsman: You can feel free to look through my log on darksleep.com/notablog/ubuntujournal.txt and see fi anything in there helps.
[06:54] <Talaman> the price of windows has always been great
[06:54] <Juzzy> I have a zd1201 chipset usb dongle, and it's listed as a supported device on the sf page. I have the zd1201 module installed, the usb wireless dongle attached, but I don't get a wlan0, yet lsusb lists it. Is there something else I have to do to make it recognize it?
[06:54] <xprimarysuspectx> severedcross: yeah, i know this. unfortunately i was looking for some geeky magic
[06:54] <SeveredCross> I agree with vexati0n, you should've researched your overpriced hardware first. ($250 for an audio card is overpriced no matter what, IMO)
[06:55] <stutsman> puff: thank you so much, I will definatly give that a good reading.
[06:55] <puff> Talaman:  Might be that you selected a speific option that can't run properly.
[06:55] <lauchazombie> in grub hd0 is equal to hda right???????
[06:55] <puff> stutsman: It's basically a log of my adventures with ubuntu, mostly for my own reference.
[06:55] <Talaman> in all the screensavers?
[06:55] <tonyyarusso> lauchazombie: yes
[06:55] <kane`> exit
[06:55] <lauchazombie> tonyyarusso,  thanks =D
[06:55] <Alex__> one more noob question, how would i boot off my new ubuntu partition?
[06:55] <evolipel> what does "unassociated" mean in iwconfig before anything else?
[06:55] <vexati0n> considering that like 80% of onboard cards even do 5.1 surround now, i can't see a good reason to spend actual money on a sound card :/
[06:55] <vexati0n> but i'm cheap too
[06:55] <xprimarysuspectx> severedCross: I do tons of audio and midi stuff, mics, guitars, keyboards, reason, it isnt over priced if its well used and has features needed. I could have easily spent 500 for a sound card
[06:55] <stutsman> puff: very nice, I wish I would have thought of that in the beginning.
[06:55] <evolipel> despite the interface being able to scan for the AP's properly?
[06:55] <evolipel> etc?
[06:55] <drofdarb> Hey guys, can firefox (or any browser for that matter) be made to use the gtk theme in the html rather than those ugly widgets they have now? :)
[06:56] <rcmiv> why does denyhosts keep poking <IP_ADDRESS> into hosts.deny?
[06:56] <xprimarysuspectx> vexation: as stated, its a bit hard doing audio creation and mixing with onboard sound
[06:56] <SeveredCross> drofdarb: Good question...no idea.
[06:56] <xprimarysuspectx> i primarily use windows, so i DID research my "overpriced" card :D i just was hoping it would work magically in linux. I suppose hope has no bounds eh
[06:57] <xprimarysuspectx> that makes me sad too, id much rather use linux for day-day
[06:57] <Talaman> puff:what all controls the screensavers?
[06:57] <vexati0n> xprimarysuspectx, what keeps you from using linux for everyday stuff?
[06:57] <tecywiz121> hey, I need some help stoping the screen from lcoking on user switch
[06:57] <drofdarb> SeveredCross: I remember reading something about it a while ago with cairo, but I'm thinking I perhaps either have the wrong version of cairo or they decided not to go that route or something.
[06:57] <SeveredCross> drofdarb: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2006/04/gnome_themes_in_html.html suggests a reason as to why they are not used in Mozilla...
[06:57] <vexati0n> i work in a microsoft certified partner it firm and i hardly ever use windows on purpose.
[06:58] <tecywiz121> anyone?
[06:58] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: nothing i suppose, its just annoying to have to boot into windows to do my audio work, and, i hate having two speaker sets hooked up
[06:58] <Alex__> pike_: how would i boot off the new partition?
[06:58] <xprimarysuspectx> and i am aware of headphones :D
[06:58] <Alex__> SeveredCross: i finally got the ne partition working
[06:58] <tecywiz121> no?
[06:59] <vexati0n> xprimarysuspectx, linux audio studio software not good enough? not a sarcastic question, im looking for solutions in linux too.
[06:59] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: no the software is pretty ok, its onboard sound that isnt ok
[06:59] <|slylyias|> I have good news
[06:59] <arch_> how can I get gnome to either set the root background, or allow another program (like qiv or feh) to set the root background? (trying to get conky working properly)
[06:59] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: horrible latency and the like
[06:59] <drofdarb> SeveredCross, Ah, that makes sense :)
[06:59] <drofdarb> Thanks
[07:00] <tecywiz121> anyone know how to stop gnome from locking the screen on switch user?
[07:00] <vexati0n> xprimarysuspectx, my onboard doesnt seem to have a problem with latency but i haven't put much of a strain on it
[07:00] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: sound quality isnt bad with onboard, i just lose the useful features, like 24-bit audio, low latency, multiple controlled inputs
[07:00] <BeastlyKings> I installed ubuntu with a dual boot and everything worked fine but after a couple days my windows partition won't boot. It was bound to happen, but is there any way to fix it?
[07:00] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: yeah, i do a lot of live recording though, guitar and midi keyboard plugged in, as well as vocals
[07:00] <tecywiz121> no one at all?
[07:01] <vexati0n> xprimarysuspectx, me too but always just 1 at a time
[07:01] <wafro> anyone know why a SATA drive is being setup as ATA-7?
[07:01] <wafro> in 6.10 and 7.04
[07:01] <vexati0n> wafro, cause ATA-7 looks cooler than SATA in a config file.
[07:01] <tecywiz121> AHHHH
[07:01] <wafro> it says ATA/100 though
[07:01] <BeastlyKings> any takers?
[07:02] <wafro> the drive does 150
[07:02] <evolipel> so guys...
[07:02] <SeveredCross> BeastlyKings: What's it say when you try to boot Windows?
[07:02] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: i wouldnt have an issue if i used a hardware controller for say my guitar, running it through a pedal for processing, but, as of late i have been using guitar rig, without the rig, requires a lot of processing
[07:02] <pike_> Alex__: during the ubuntu install it should have asked you to install grub to the mbr did it do that? display your windows operating system and say it should be safe if that is the only other os?
[07:02] <vexati0n> BeastlyKings, most likely your computer is on strike from windows
[07:02] <PoofDaddy> Anybody know how to stop windows from popping up when inserting USB devices?
[07:02] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: in reason though, if i were to do some live processing with midi control, with certain effects, it helps alot to have the extra processing of an external card
[07:02] <BeastlyKings> I shold have wrote it down sorry. I'll be right back
[07:02] <Alex__> pike_: think it did that, make it ready to start?
[07:02] <evolipel> so has anyone had a time
[07:03] <evolipel> where they were computing as usual
[07:03] <vexati0n> xprimarysuspectx, thats probly true too.
[07:03] <evolipel> but then one dark day, malevolence descended upon them
[07:03] <evolipel> in the form of the wireless card not being able to connect to the AP
[07:03] <evolipel> "unassociated" it said
[07:03] <evolipel> "help"
[07:03] <evolipel> but all effort was in vain
[07:03] <pike_> Alex__: you should when you reboot have a grub menu to select either ubuntu or windows (assuming win is installed) so yeah you should be able to reboot without the cd
[07:03] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: anyhow, thanks for the help. I suppose ill live with booting back and forth for now. I still dislike windows for web surfing. in fact, i get pissed at windows after using linux for a while. lol.
[07:03] <evolipel> for seemingly no other person has had this problem
[07:03] <evolipel> according to the great interwebs
[07:03] <SeveredCross> evolipel: Do you have a function-button to enable/disable wireless?
[07:04] <Alex__> pike: ok thanks
[07:04] <SeveredCross> (like, on my Dell laptop, it's Fn-F2)
[07:04] <vexati0n> SeanTater, what kind of card is it?
[07:04] <xprimarysuspectx> vexati0n: one more question. any recommended software packages for audio in ubuntu?
[07:04] <pike_> evolipel: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)   just incase you havent installled it yet
[07:04] <wafro> what kind of laptop?
[07:04] <tabbot> when i try and build alsa, its asks for version.h? do i need an actual kernel build for it, or is headers enough?
[07:04] <crimsun> tabbot: headers are sufficient.
[07:04] <vexati0n> xprimarysuspectx, i use Jokosher and MuSE
[07:04] <crimsun> tabbot: specifically, linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[07:05] <vexati0n> but i have no frame of reference to know how 'good' they are
[07:05] <xprimarysuspectx> heh. alright then, fair enough. thanks
[07:05] <PoofDaddy> Any ideas of stopping the windows from popping up when iserting USB devices?
[07:05] <xprimarysuspectx> poof: dont insert a usb device :D
[07:05] <xprimarysuspectx> sorry sorry. jokes
[07:05] <wafro> some laptop wireless cards need to be enabled through acpi
[07:05] <PoofDaddy> xprimarysuspectx Any other advice?
[07:05] <xprimarysuspectx> stay away from overpriced audio hardware too :(
[07:06] <shatrat> Whats the easiest way to lock the kernel version so it doesnt update? I need to explain it to my brother so that I dont have to explain to him how to get his wireless and video working again
[07:06] <xprimarysuspectx> :D
[07:06] <xprimarysuspectx> thanks guys
[07:06] <xprimarysuspectx> later
[07:06] <aoirthoir> later
[07:06] <puff> Hm, okay, reinstalled ubuntu from scratch on this server and now it's locked up during the boot at "running root scripts"
[07:06] <tabbot> PoofDaddy: if in gnome, then Preferences->"Removable Drives"-
[07:06] <wafro> shatrat http://www.howtoforge.com/roll_a_kernel_debian_ubuntu_way
[07:06] <PoofDaddy> tabbot: lemme try
[07:06] <wafro> it's briefly explained there
[07:06] <shatrat> wafro, Thanks
[07:06] <Flannel> !pin | shatrat
[07:06] <ubotu> shatrat: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[07:06] <wafro> you have to hold your current kernel package
[07:07] <maz> hey all, kind of a crazy question.  I bought an internal DVD RW, plugged it into power and IDE, it opens and shuts for the first few minutes after boot and then doesn't work at all.  Do I need to install a driver or something?
[07:07] <tabbot> PoofDaddy: there is an option called "browse removable media when inserted", uncheck it
[07:07] <puff> evolipel: You never did reply to my question about your problem.
[07:07] <Flannel> shatrat: actually, for kernels.  Don't use pinning (and don't compile your own), just remove the kernel metapackage.  linux-image-generic, for instance.
[07:07] <fervidfrogger> maz: If it is pysically not working, it's probably a prob with the drive
[07:08] <shatrat> Flannel, ah, great
[07:08] <wafro> maz: an optical drive usually doesn't open/close at boot
[07:08] <shatrat> Flannel, will that totally hose upgrades? or can feisty and stuff run on an old edgy kernel if it has to?
[07:08] <Flannel> shatrat: the kernel package (linux-image-[versionnumbers] -generic) is the one that is the current kernel, and the metapackage (without the version numbers) is what causes the upgrading.
[07:08] <wafro> maz: check your connections and master/slave settings
[07:08] <tabbot> when i try and build alsa 1.0.13 , its asks for version.h? do i need an actual kernel build for it, or is headers enough? any backports for 1.0.13 to edgy?
[07:08] <Flannel> shatrat: Feisty runs on the Feisty kernel
[07:08] <PoofDaddy> tabbot: you da man!
[07:08] <evolipel> puff: yeah I have
[07:08] <wafro> maz: and make sure the controller is enabled in the bios
[07:08] <evolipel> I said: "various: first I tried the gnome thing, then I went into the console... at which point it said "radio off," so I researched it, discovered I needed acerhk, blah blah blah, set it up, now iwlist eth1 scan properly gives the various AP's in the area... however, any attempt to connect to them still gives an "unassociated" in iwlist"
[07:08] <tabbot> PoofDaddy: glad I could help :)
[07:09] <shatrat> Flannel, so will removing the metapackage mean a broken upgrade, or will it force the kernel upgrade?
[07:09] <maz> fervidfrogger and wafro - thanks... what i mean is it will open/shut if i ask it to, but only for the first few minutes.  can't access the drive.  There used to be a CDrom in that position and I just swapped them over so master/slave should be ok
[07:09] <maz> wafro - ok, how do i do that?
[07:09] <Flannel> shatrat: and yes, I believe to upgrade, you'll want to have the appropriate kernel metapackage, and that means the newest.  upgrade-manager forces that, I believe.
[07:09] <evolipel> iwconfig*
[07:09] <wafro> maz: are you running linux?
[07:09] <evolipel> not iwlist
[07:09] <shatrat> Flannel, well, Ill cross that bridge when it comes. Thanks for the hot tip
[07:09] <maz> wafro - yes ubuntu breezy
[07:09] <puff> evolipel: So you did, like:  "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "foo"; sudo iwconfig eth1 channel bar;  sudo dhclient eth1"
[07:09] <wafro> maz: check your dmesg output too
[07:09] <maz> !dmesg
[07:10] <Flannel> maz: you really ought to upgrade, Breezy is going out of support in a few weeks.
[07:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dmesg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:10] <maz> ok flannel, will check that out on the web page
[07:10] <quaal> why is my clock going off sync again. i have it synced to like 3 or more timeservers
[07:10] <quaal> i dont understand
[07:10] <ant> .quit
[07:10] <Flannel> maz: and there's a good chance that the HW issue will be fixed with the upgrade, so it's sort of silly to spend a bunch of time fixing, only to have it fixed automatically.
[07:10] <Flannel> !upgrade | maz
[07:10] <ubotu> maz: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:10] <Chris86wm> does anyone have experience setting up a usb webcam under ubuntu?
[07:10] <BeastlyKings> I was here about a broken windows parition?
[07:10] <maz> thanks flannel
[07:11] <quaal> BeastlyKings, wrong place?
[07:11] <Chris86wm> my camera is picked up in the device manager, but i cant seem to get it to work
[07:11] <wafro> quaal: does it happen after you have been running another OS?
[07:11] <evolipel> puff: yes, still gives "unassociated," and dhclient runs for a while but then dies with "no DHCPOFFERS"
[07:11] <quaal> wafro, i'm not sure.
[07:11] <Flannel> quaal: You using ntpdate? or ntpd?
[07:11] <quaal> why would that change it ?
[07:11] <quaal> Flannel, not sure
[07:11] <BeastlyKings> no, wondering who I was talkng to
[07:11] <wafro> if the OS uses local time or UTC
[07:11] <wafro> they will change the hardware clock
[07:11] <Flannel> quaal: Windows, for instance, only uses localtime, can't have the system clock set to UTC.  So, if it's going off by hours (your TZ offset) then that's the issue; if it's only off by minutes, it's not.
[07:12] <quaal> Flannel, its off by minutes
[07:12] <quaal> 50min
[07:12] <Flannel> quaal: ps aux | grep ntp, what's running?
[07:12] <wafro> do you observe DST?
[07:12] <quaal> wafro: it just changed a couple weeks ago
[07:12] <wafro> yeah but they changed the rules for DST
[07:13] <quaal> Flannel, just the grep command
[07:13] <quaal> wafro, did the ntp servers not update?
[07:13] <quaal> i'm 50min off btw
[07:13] <Flannel> quaal: then you're not running either ntpdate or ntpd, you'll want to change that: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/NTP.html
[07:13] <quaal> not +/- 1hr
[07:13] <wafro> ntp servers provide UTC
[07:13] <Flannel> quaal: NTP stuff is all UTC, which doesn't have DST
[07:13] <wafro> your machine adjusts it for DST
[07:13] <PoofDaddy> tabbot: why do some people tell me that it's not necessary to "safely remove flash devices"?    Or am I?
[07:13] <Flannel> quaal: I suggest ntpd over ntpdate, but that's just personal preference.
[07:13] <wafro> which would make it an hour out
[07:13] <BeastlyKings> well, anyway, I installed a dual boot of ubuntu and windows and everyhting was fine but after a couple days my windows partition has failed. It gives me this when I choose it at startup: "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format"  How do I fix this? can it be fixed?
[07:13] <quaal> again, it is NOT +/- 1hr
[07:14] <wafro> if you haven't done a recent upgrade
[07:14] <maz> wafro: i found this in the dmesg:  ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx... does that mean anything?  what should i look for?
[07:14] <quaal> it goes off by minutes
[07:14] <Flannel> wafro: He's not running ntp in any form.
[07:14] <quaal> Flannel, what is it when i go into the time in the top right and set an ntp server ?
[07:14] <SeveredCross> BeastlyKings: Look in your grub config, and paste the part relating to your Windows XP install
[07:14] <pike_> PoofDaddy: a little of both :)  i just unplug the things btw
[07:14] <SeveredCross> Also, did you move your Windows XP partition?
[07:14] <quaal> keep clock synced with internet servers is checked
[07:14] <Flannel> quaal: That page will show you how to set everything up.
[07:14] <blanky> hey guys how do you recursively download all files with extension .txt from somesite.com/somedir using wget. I already tried wget http://www.somesite.com/mydir -A *.txt, but it downloads index.html files :(
[07:14] <BeastlyKings> define move?
[07:14] <z3n> what's the package name for C-related manpages?
[07:15] <bulmer> blanky try the -r option
[07:15] <blanky> thanks bullgard4
[07:15] <blanky> er, bulmer
[07:15] <SeveredCross> BeastlyKings: Example, it went from the 3rd partition to the 4th.
[07:15] <Flannel> quaal: I never had any luck with those gnome things.  I believe those only run each time you login (to gnome).
[07:15] <pike_> blanky: when you figure it out let me know wget has driven me crazy with that in the past
[07:15] <BeastlyKings> nope
[07:15] <quaal> Flannel, ah, that could be why
[07:15] <quaal> thanks
[07:15] <tabbot> crimsun: thank you m8, will try with it
[07:15] <Flannel> quaal: I suggest ntpd, which will run independant of anyone logging in, or whatever.
[07:15] <SeveredCross> Ditto pike_.
[07:15] <evolipel> so guys, does iwconfig sometimes betray you
[07:15] <evolipel> and says that it's unassociated?
[07:15] <br1|> ubuntu doesnt like my dell 8100 :/
[07:15] <bullgard4> blanky: I don't know thy you directed a thanks to me.
[07:15] <blanky> z3n: manpages-dev ?
[07:15] <PoofDaddy> tabbot:  I've had 2 pen drives with corrupted data and it's probably because I didn't know wtf I was doing.
[07:16] <wafro> pen drives have limited write cycles before they start corrupting data
[07:16] <quaal> hmm
[07:16] <BeastlyKings> SeveredCross: I didn't move anything, but I did recompile my kernel
[07:16] <wafro> or you diddn't flush the buffers to it before unplugging it
[07:16] <PoofDaddy> wafro: like 10,000, I think.
[07:16] <quaal> looks like i already had ntpd installed
[07:16] <quaal> ntp-simple anyways
[07:16] <SeveredCross> A kernel recompile wouldn't break it.
[07:16] <SeveredCross> Hum.
[07:17] <SeveredCross> Paste the part of your grub menu.lst file relating to Windows?
[07:17] <wafro> quaal use 'ntpdate pool.ntp.org'
[07:17] <tabbot> PoofDaddy: well i never used pen drives from gnome, i usually mount/umount safely from console, sometimes when files are in use and u force umount it, its get curropted
[07:17] <quaal> wafro, i have ntpd
[07:17] <quaal> so i guess ntpd pool.ntp.org
[07:17] <BeastlyKings> SeveredCross: how to do that? I'm a linux noob
[07:17] <quaal> will work the same
[07:18] <wafro> no
[07:18] <crdlb> quaal, nope
[07:18] <Flannel> quaal: Edit /etc/ntp.conf to make sure you have some servers.
[07:18] <blanky> pike_:  wget -r -l1 --no-parent -A.gif http://www.server.com/dir/
[07:18] <Flannel> quaal: then restart ntpd
[07:18] <wafro> if you're running ntpd, ntpdate won't work
[07:18] <wafro> type ntptrace
[07:18] <davidjohnston> does anyone in here give suggestions on home setups
[07:18] <puff> evolipel: Paste the iwlist output and iwconfig output to pastebin and show us.
[07:18] <SeveredCross> BeastlyKings: I think it'd be gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst or something like that.
[07:18] <crdlb> davidjohnston, specifically?
[07:18] <puff> evolipel: It sounds like it's probably an encryption issue.
[07:19] <davidjohnston> i already have the ideas layed out...i just want to know if they are stupid
[07:19] <z3n> is there a way to list all packages that have been set as "manually installed" in aptitude?
[07:19] <Flannel> quaal: sudo /etc/init.d/ntp-server restart
[07:19] <crdlb> ok
[07:19] <PoofDaddy> tabbot: Luckily I have backups for backups for backups.
[07:19] <davidjohnston> crdlb:  ok basically I use a OS X 10.4 laptop
[07:19] <mbdl> how do u force mount a harddist (hd5)
[07:19] <davidjohnston> my wife uses a Win xP laptop
[07:19] <BeastlyKings> severedCross: Also I can't access my hda1 partition for some reason
[07:19] <davidjohnston> i have 3 unused desktops
[07:19] <bulmer> mdb1you can not force a mount
[07:19] <davidjohnston> they are old but still can be used
[07:20] <mbdl> yes it say u can

[07:20] <PoofDaddy> tabbot: I need one more backup, then.
[07:20] <quaal> Flannel, ah... that started it.
[07:20] <mbdl> bulmer: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11952/
[07:20] <quaal> it wasnt started
[07:20] <davidjohnston> ubotu:  sorry I was just separating the thoughts
[07:21] <crdlb> davidjohnston, ubotu is a bot :D
[07:21] <Flannel> quaal: well, it might take some time to synch back up, since ntpd does it slowly.  But you're good now.
[07:21] <davidjohnston> crdlb: thanks
[07:21] <quaal> Flannel, cool. thansk man
[07:21] <mbdl> davidjohnston: yep look at the name smarty
[07:21] <multidex> What printer would anyone suggest I purchase that would work fine with Ubuntu (Edgy Eft)?
[07:21] <moeru> What's a good recommended Torrent client? I can't stand Aszerus and BitTornado
[07:21] <davidjohnston> mbdl:  good call
[07:21] <mbdl> bulmer:did u get my msg?
[07:21] <crdlb> davidjohnston, so you're asking if kubuntu is a good idea?
[07:21] <pike_> blanky: cheers
[07:22] <Flannel> !torrent | moeru
[07:22] <ubotu> moeru: Torrent clients: Azureus (Java), BitTornado (Shell with python front-end), KTorrent (KDE/Qt)  -  Bittorent FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html
[07:22] <mbdl> bulmer: does anyone know how to force mount?
[07:22] <bulmer> mbdl: if you think you can, well good luck
[07:22] <wafro> can someone look at this and tell me if the SATA configuration doesn't look right? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11953/
[07:22] <megafauna> Hi, can someone recommend a good file renamer? (for replacing " " with "_")
[07:22] <crdlb> multidex, hp or epson, but look up the model first
[07:22] <moeru> hm..Azureus just crashes. Time to try KTorrent
[07:22] <PoofDaddy> Anyone ever heard of Wink (tutorial software)?  Is there something better for Linux for recording the monitor?
[07:22] <multidex> crdlb: thanks
[07:22] <blanky> pike_: now it downloads to a folder named after the site I'm downloading from
[07:22] <SeveredCross> I feel like batch renaming should be easy.
[07:22] <happytron> anyone know a utility for grabbing a specific line (identified by its number) from an (ascii) file?
[07:22] <SeveredCross> happytron: sed?
[07:22] <tabbot> PoofDaddy: :) have u tried keeping your files in subversion? http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/06/svn_homedir.html
[07:23] <wafro> it shows the drive being configured as UDMA/100 .. but its a SATA drive, 1.5Mbps
[07:23] <Flannel> PoofDaddy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts
[07:23] <davidjohnston> crdlb: so one will be Kubuntu, then one will be a test server using Ubuntu server to run a lamp and also support RoR, this will also be a svn server.  Finally the third will be another Ubuntu server used as a file share to the win and mac laptops using samba and it will have a HFS+ external drive on it, but I've already loaded the HFS+ drivers for linux and they work wonderfully
[07:23] <SeveredCross> (That's not to say that I know the syntax, I just seem to recall being told that sed can do that)
[07:23] <happytron> hmm, let me look at the man... i was never quite sure what sed is for
[07:23] <davidjohnston> crdlb:  does that sound decent
[07:23] <SuperTeece> Is this the right place for a Fiesty question?
[07:23] <stutsman> puff: I just wanted to let you know that I'm reading through your journal and it has been EXTREMELY helpful so far... I just wanted to thank you for sharing it with me.
[07:23] <happytron> i actually have one process spitting out line numbers, and i would like to pipe them into another process...
[07:24] <crdlb> davidjohnston, I don't see a problem
[07:24] <Flannel> tabbot, PoofDaddy, the problem with svn for homedirs is your data is duplicated, so you have two versions in your homedir, then a third whereever your server is.
[07:24] <davidjohnston> crdlb: sorry just never used Ubuntu...i've always used SuSe and just thought I would get an opinion
[07:24] <moeru> Oh, what would make Conky close after bootup? I've got it in Sessions->Startup Programs
[07:24] <moeru> or I've just got the command "conky" in there
[07:25] <crdlb> davidjohnston, I don't see why not combine the two servers though?
[07:25] <PoofDaddy> tabbot: I'll look into that, but I don't exactly know the benefits.  Could I still use my OTFE?
[07:25] <BeastlyKings> SeveredCross: Still don't know what to do here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11954/
[07:25] <SeveredCross> happytron: You'd like to pipe those into another process that would read the lines and do what?
[07:25] <davidjohnston> crdlb: and then what would I use the 3rd box for...plus remember these machines are not extremely fast and don't have tons of ram either
[07:25] <Assimilator> I'm having trobble finding the right plugin for firefox to load flash media correctly
[07:25] <happytron> cat those lines from a file
[07:25] <davidjohnston> crdlb: or big hd's really either except one
[07:26] <puff> stutsman: No sweat :-). I keep meaning to write it up better.
[07:26] <SeveredCross> happytron: Cat them somewhere?
[07:26] <SeveredCross> Or just cat them out to stdout?
[07:26] <evolipel> guys...
[07:26] <evolipel> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11955/
[07:26] <Flannel> Assimilator: 'flashplugin-nonfree' in multiverse.
[07:26] <evolipel> any ideas?
[07:26] <happytron> doesn't matter
[07:26] <SeveredCross> Well, I suppose you could write a short bash script.
[07:26] <tabbot> Flannel: i have a second drive, where I keep my $HOME svn, its dedicated backup drive. I suppose i don't mind the duplication, drive space is cheap.
[07:27] <happytron> yeah, that's always an option =]
[07:27] <Assimilator> will that also work for kubuntu
[07:27] <SeveredCross> That takes an input of a line number, calls sed and picks out the line, then writes it out somewhere
[07:27] <crdlb> davidjohnston, I really think one computer can handle all your server needs easily, but what you do with the spare is up to you :D
[07:27] <tabbot> Flannel: i have a second drive, where I keep my HOME svn, its dedicated backup drive. I suppose i don't mind the duplication, drive space is cheap.
[07:27] <happytron> but i would prefer to acquire some unix skills in the process
[07:27] <PoofDaddy> Flannel:  I'm getting a lot of good advice from you folks.  How does that compare to Wink?  Have you tried that?
[07:27] <SeveredCross> Well, sed's a *nix skill if I've ever seen one.
[07:27] <BeastlyKings> someone? My windows partition is broke...
[07:27] <moeru> !conky | moeru
[07:27] <moeru> eh, worth a try
[07:27] <happytron> yeah, i should learn it
[07:27] <SeveredCross> evolipel: I had that problem when I couldn't connect to the access point.
[07:27] <Flannel> tabbot: shrug.  I'm toying with the idea of making some tweaks to SVN to not keep a local copy.  Since I'm using it entirely over ethernet, I don't have to worry about the additional bandwidth for commits.
[07:27] <SeveredCross> Did you get the question I asked before?
[07:27] <Flannel> PoofDaddy: no idea.  I don't even have a GUI ;)
[07:28] <megafauna> Hi, can someone recommend a good file renamer? (for replacing " " with "_")
[07:28] <tabbot> my msgs are here seem to go towards /dev/null :(
[07:28] <tabbot> Flannel: i have a second drive, where I keep my HOME svn, its dedicated backup drive. I suppose i don't mind the duplication, drive space is cheap.
[07:28] <davidjohnston> crdlb:  since it's svn and I may have multiple projects i was just concerned for space, then also the machine that has the space i planned on using for Kubuntu because the gui and all
[07:28] <SeveredCross> Are oyu on a laptop that has a hardware wireless switch or a function key to do so?
[07:28] <mjbrooks> ant: good evening sir
[07:28] <Flannel> megafauna: tried 'rename' and/or 'mv'?
[07:28] <Flannel> tabbot: You've said that three times.
[07:28] <SeveredCross> Flannel: Can he rename many files at once like that though?
[07:28] <PoofDaddy> Flannel: I'd prefer to go command as well.  I can't stand eye candy on a computer, but I'm a novice.
[07:28] <Flannel> SeveredCross: of course
[07:29] <SeveredCross> I don't recall the syntax.
[07:29] <megafauna> Flannel: I need to do it in bulk. I have many mp3s
[07:29] <stutsman> puff
[07:29] <megafauna> Flannel: But thanks for the response
[07:29] <stutsman> err
[07:29] <Flannel> megafauna: that's exactly what they're designed for.  You want rename, and not mv.
[07:30] <megafauna> Flannel: ah! /me types rename into shell
[07:30] <tabbot> Flannel: erm, sorry m8
[07:30] <davidjohnston> crdlb: so what would use the third for because i already have one coming for archiving
[07:30] <Flannel> tabbot: just letting you know ;)
[07:31] <Assimilator> ok I now need macromedia flash 6 for video for firefox
[07:31] <crdlb> davidjohnston, you could use it for backing up the other two
[07:31] <I_Glitch> Quick question: How do I configure proxy settings via command line ?
[07:31] <CrAsH_0vEr> hello
[07:32] <Glombool> Maybe this isn't the right channel to ask in, but, is it possible to make an LVM of loopback disk images?

 yo
 can you help me,
[07:32] <CrAsH_0vEr> * Galga has quit IRC (Connection timed out)
 im new on this
[07:32] <SeveredCross> evolipel: PAY ATTENTION.
[07:32] <Flannel> CrAsH_0vEr: please don't do that again.
[07:32] <SeveredCross> I asked you a question.
[07:32] <somewhat-> hello.. has anyone experienced Xorg hanging loading Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libvm86.so ??
[07:32] <evolipel> oh
[07:32] <crdlb> davidjohnston, nope, I've only needed php
[07:32] <evolipel> you didn't get my /msg?
[07:32] <SeveredCross> Do you have a laptop with a hardware wireless switch or a function-button to turn Wireless on/off?
[07:32] <evolipel> yeah, but the question is, why wouldn't it connect?
[07:33] <evolipel> the interface works fine (scan returns all the AP's in the area), etc.
[07:33] <SeveredCross> That's the third bloody time I've asked you.
[07:33] <SeveredCross> I'm TRYING to help you.
[07:33] <davidjohnston> crdlb: yea me too so far...i've just read horror stories, but i'll get it up
[07:33] <Arrick> hey anyone else notice that www.ubuntu.com is down?
[07:33] <evolipel> oh, sorry, yes, I've answered that also before
[07:33] <evolipel> yes I do
[07:33] <evolipel> but I've already installed acerhk
[07:33] <davidjohnston> crdlb: thanks for your opinion...night to all
[07:33] <evolipel> and the little LED is on
[07:33] <megafauna> Flannel: I shall have to kung-fu up my bash skills (I am working thru a tutorial at present). thanks for the tip
[07:33] <CrAsH_0vEr> the fabricant is ageres
[07:33] <evolipel> (for the wireleess interface)
[07:33] <SeveredCross> Okay.
[07:33] <Flannel> evolipel: queries are blocked on freenode fro unregistered nicks.
[07:33] <crdlb> Arrick, indeed it is
[07:33] <Flannel> megafauna: mostly just regexp skills.  But yes, good luck.
[07:33] <SeveredCross> Have you tried rebooting? I had that happen to me once, after a few reboots it worked.

[07:34] <evolipel> (the unregistered nick thing)
[07:34] <SeveredCross> I had that problem when I couldn't get a DHCP response from the access point.
[07:34] <mjbrooks> ant: you awake?
[07:34] <SeveredCross> Like I said, resolved after a few boots.
[07:35] <somewhat-> ok so how about this... does anyone know why using F4 to specify a resolution on bootup in the liveCD is the only way I can get Ubuntu to boot?
[07:35] <SeveredCross> Any reason that your AP wouldn't give you an IP?
[07:35] <pike_> [Tuxedo] : but out of the box support without installing seperate codecs..   vlc
[07:35] <CrAsH_0vEr> somebody could help me
[07:35] <SeveredCross> evolipel: Also, have you tried using wpa_supplicant?
[07:35] <evolipel> nope, it works fine on 2 other boxes (on both Windows and linux)
[07:35] <[Tuxedo] > pike thanks, that's what I was needing. I'm not all that great with Ubuntu yet. =)
[07:35] <evolipel> well, do you need wpa_supplicant for connections that don't need WPA?
[07:35] <CrAsH_0vEr> ??\
[07:36] <zsandoz> anyone know anything about snd-hda-intel bugs?
[07:36] <Flannel> megafauna: believe... `rename 's/ /_/' *` will work.
[07:36] <BeastlyKings> how to fix XP partition? my grub file: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11954/
[07:36] <SeveredCross> I've heard some people say that it may help estabilish connections.
[07:36] <aldin> does ubuntu automatically change "daylight" time
[07:36] <zsandoz> im pretty sure thats the sound driver i need, but i get no sound even though it shows up in ALSA
[07:36] <Flannel> megafauna: but, please try that on a small subset.  You might need to set it to a global match.
[07:36] <SeveredCross> BeastlyKings: Your grub menu.lst looks fine, so I have no idea what is your problem.
[07:36] <evolipel> well I'll try it out after a few reboots
[07:36] <Flannel> aldin: If you've updated in the past year, yes.
[07:36] <[Tuxedo] > I tried a few others, like mplayer-video, and Codiene, but they wouldn't play for various reasons
[07:36] <Flannel> megafauna: the global version would be `rename 's/ /_/g' *`
[07:37] <BeastlyKings> anybody else got a clue as to what the prob is?
[07:37] <mjbrooks> zsandoz, I have an intel sound card   there are known bugs ;/
[07:37] <aldin> Flannel: how can i do it over console
[07:37] <pike_> [Tuxedo] : i prefer mplayer its more versitile but vlc will play almost anything
[07:37] <Flannel> aldin: updated?  'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'
[07:37] <megafauna> Flannel: You are talking above my newb level. I've done 2 courses in C++ at the ni level and about 3 hours of an online bash intro. I am a total newb. In a week or two maybe not...
[07:37] <aldin> BeastlyKings: what is problem can u boot ur WXP?
[07:37] <binarydigit> BeastlyKings: whats wrong with yoru XP parition
[07:37] <zsandoz> mjbrooks: i found so many discussions about it and everything i tried failed.. im going to upgrade to 2.6.20-12 and see if that helps
[07:37] <[Tuxedo] > mplayer told me that it couldn't load video out, or something to that effect :(
[07:37] <SeveredCross> binarydigit, aldin: It doesn't boot.
[07:37] <aldin> Flannel: no, uptade to current time
[07:37] <mjbrooks> zsandoz, the latest ALSA correct the bugs I had
[07:38] <SeveredCross> He gets an error about unknown executable.
[07:38] <Flannel> aldin: Your hardware clock is set wrong, if you've got the wrong time.
[07:38] <BeastlyKings> It won't boot: "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format"
[07:38] <Flannel> aldin: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/NTP.html suggest installing ntpd over ntpdate.
[07:38] <Shrimpy_> Hello, i am running azureus and it want's to auto update. but when i download the update it does not automatically update it's self. is there somthing i need to do to enable this?

[07:39] <zsandoz> mjb: u mean the kernel modules or the user-space utilities?
[07:39] <malek> anyone know how to get jackbeat working?  Anyone familiar with JACK?
[07:39] <Flannel> megafauna: Well, it's perl not C++, Regular Expressions... uh, well, anywya.  Try that command.  But try it on a small folder of guinea pig files please.
[07:39] <aldin> Flannel: to connect to some internet time server
[07:39] <binarydigit> BeastlyKings: you sure your XP partition is 0,0?
[07:39] <megafauna> Flannel: alright
[07:39] <mjbrooks> zsandoz, yes ;)
[07:39] <Flannel> aldin: follow the instructions for ntpd here: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/NTP.html
[07:39] <aldin> Flannel: ok thx
[07:39] <BeastlyKings> binarydigit: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11954/ I think so
[07:40] <megafauna> Flannel: and you type an example? Say file.txt to file1.txt
[07:40] <multidex> malek: I'm familiar with Jack somewhat
[07:40] <SeveredCross> binarydigit: It was detected by the installer that way.
[07:40] <mjbrooks> zsandoz, you using edgy?
[07:40] <SeveredCross> I've never seen the installer pick it up wrong.
[07:40] <megafauna> Flannel: I don't know where to put the file names in the expression
[07:40] <binarydigit> hmph
[07:40] <BeastlyKings> it worked for awhile
[07:40] <lauchazombie> i configured grub , so when i try to start win it says "starting up" or something and it kinda freez there , should i wait some time , like is the first time it mus congiure some staff right? <-----any idea?
[07:40] <SeveredCross> BeastlyKings: If you want to check what binarydigit is asking about, type fdisk -l and paste the output to a pastebin.
[07:40] <SeveredCross> lauchazombie: Any error messages?
[07:40] <Flannel> megafauna: the * at the end is 'all files', I assumed you had a folder full of MP3s only.  Is that not the case?
[07:40] <SeveredCross> It doesn't need to configure anything the first time through.
[07:41] <malek> multidex: awesome.  Okay, I've got qjackctl running, but jackbeat won't start up.  qjackctl seems to see it, but no window comes up
[07:41] <megafauna> Flannel: Yes, that is the case.
[07:41] <zsandoz> mjb: im using the feisty one
[07:41] <[Tuxedo] > Well, vlc won't work, and it won't close now O.o
[07:41] <wafro> does anyone know how to debug suspend on a laptop? :)
[07:41] <SeveredCross> [Tuxedo] : ps aux | grep vlc and then kill it :)
[07:41] <binarydigit> BeastlyKings: do a sudo fdisk -lu and put it on pastebin
[07:41] <mjbrooks> zsandoz, herd 5 I'm assuming?
[07:41] <crdlb> wafro, ebay it, and get a thinkpad :D
[07:41] <SeveredCross> Err right, I forgot to mention sudo.
[07:42] <megafauna> Flannel: I do want to learn bash, I'm just utterly new to it
[07:42] <wafro> ick thinkpad :)
[07:42] <Flannel> megafauna: then make that the your current directory, and do that command.  If you wanted to just do mp3 files: `rename 's/ /_/g' *.mp3`
[07:42] <Flannel> !bash | megafauna
[07:42] <ubotu> megafauna: 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
[07:42] <mjbrooks> zsandoz, Feisty Beta seems to have it fixed
[07:42] <Flannel> megafauna: 'cd' is change directory, 'ls' LiSts the directory content.
[07:42] <lauchazombie> so why it takes so much time? , like whenn i finished installig xp , when i started ubuntu it took more time than before
[07:42] <aldin> Flannel: aldin@fawn:~$ sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
[07:42] <aldin> 25 Mar 07:42:02 ntpdate[6947] : the NTP socket is in use, exiting
[07:42] <aldin> aldin@fawn:~$
[07:42] <mjbrooks> zsandoz, I'm listening to an mp3 stream in it now
[07:42] <Flannel> megafauna: that's all you need for the current thing, I believe.  Oh, and tab complete works wonderfully.
[07:42] <megafauna> Flannel: cd and ls i know:)
[07:42] <lauchazombie> i know im fine in menu.lst
[07:42] <megafauna> Flannel: trying now
[07:43] <Flannel> aldin: right.  you'll need to kill the current ntpdate program before re-running it.
[07:43] <BeastlyKings> binarydigit: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11956/
[07:43] <malek> multidex: I suspect my jack setup is done wrong, but I would have though that since I'm using the ubuntu packages it would work right away, or at least request me to make some changes.  Just how does one get this all working?
[07:43] <puff> Anybody know LVM?
[07:43] <[Tuxedo] > SeveredCross numeric argument required
[07:43] <zsandoz> mjb: i dont think i have it
[07:43] <wafro>  /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>-ubuntu1matt/build/include/asm/processor.h:82: error: CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT undeclared here (not in a function)
[07:43] <multidex> malek: I have Jack and Jackbeat installed... it does open for me.  When jackbeat tries to open, you see it momentariliy in the jack connections before it dissapears?
[07:44] <wafro>  /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>-ubuntu1matt/build/include/asm/processor.h:82: error: requested alignment is not a constant
[07:44] <shane634> wafro, pastebin it all
[07:44] <SeveredCross> Numeric argument reuired for kill? Duh.
[07:44] <mjbrooks> zsandoz, it just came out a few days ago

[07:44] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:44] <SeveredCross> ps aux | grep vlc was just to find out VLC's pid.
[07:44] <aldin> Flannel: 25 Mar 07:44:19 ntpdate[7018] : adjust time server <IP_ADDRESS> offset -0.021335 sec
[07:44] <SeveredCross> Once you know the pid, type kill <vlc's-pid>
[07:44] <malek> multidex: not just momentarily - it stays connected, just it never actually comes up with a window.
[07:44] <vexati0n> meh
[07:44] <BeastlyKings> binarydigit? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11956/
[07:44] <SeveredCross> If it doesn't die, you might have to pass an option to kill that I don't remember right now to send a different signal.
[07:45] <J-_> what does the avahi permission mean?
[07:45] <vexati0n> okay.. Project Looking Glass officially blows.
[07:45] <happy_nic> i accidentally created a file named -- Any idea how I can delete it?
[07:45] <Flannel> aldin: right.  That's set you to the current time.
[07:45] <SeveredCross> LOL happy_nic.
[07:45] <SeveredCross> rm \-\- ?
[07:45] <blade_> OMG...i will be the envy of geeks around the world....as we speak...my girlfriend, is sitting at her computer, naked, and reading Bash.org

[07:45] <happy_nic> SeveredCross: already tried and failed with that =[
[07:45] <aldin> Flannel: just this one, how he knows which timetone am i?
[07:45] <SeveredCross> blade_: Woohoo, congratulations
[07:45] <megafauna> Flannel: hmmm. still playing
[07:46] <SeveredCross> happy_nic: Tried tabcompleting it?
[07:46] <multidex> malek: you are using alsa for Jack driver?
[07:46] <infornography> Anybody know anything about getting ATI graphics cards to work in Ubuntu?
[07:46] <happy_nic> SeveredCross: yep. it just shows up as --
[07:46] <SeveredCross> blade_: Is she inflatable?
[07:46] <Flannel> aldin: System time is set to UTC.    It says at start up "Could not open ALSA sequencer as a client"
[07:47] <aldin> Flannel: how can i see through terminal which timezone am i now
[07:47] <wafro> de_, lots of geeks have been around naked girls before. just because you're not paying for the privilege doesn't mean
[07:47] <wafro>            anything. really.
 Flannel: It isn't working yet
 blade_: please take that elsewhere.
[07:47] <aldin> i saw it on clock graphicaly..
[07:47] <wafro> ack
[07:47] <SeveredCross> LOL wafro.
[07:47] <wafro> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11957/
[07:47] <wafro> i'm sorry :)
[07:47] <Flannel> megafauna: I'll take a look.
[07:47] <multidex> malek: Make sure you're not running any other audio programs first
[07:47] <malek> multidex: then it says : 15:46:45.459 Could not connect to JACK server as client. Please check the messages window for more info.
[07:47] <SeveredCross> infornography: Mine started to work sometime around the time I used the binary driver from ATI's website rather than using Envy.
[07:47] <SeveredCross> And also after many many xorg edits.
[07:47] <megafauna> Flannel: No it is!
[07:47] <SeveredCross> And thne my HDD crapped out. <_>
[07:48] <megafauna> Flannel: I had made a copy/paste error
[07:48] <aldin> Flannel: Europe/Sarajevo, but is there some variable like $TIMEZONE?
[07:48] <BeastlyKings> I seem to have lost binarydigit. anybody else wanna take a crack at it?
[07:48] <SeveredCross> So I can't show you my xorg.conf
[07:48] <Dant1> Hi room
[07:48] <megafauna> Flannel: :) Thanks! I had a horrible fit of laziness there. what does the "s" mean, and also the "'"
[07:48] <multidex> malek: I had to mess with my Jack setup (gui) to overcome some latency problems - I noticed I got that message when I used 3 as periods/buffer
[07:49] <BeastlyKings> anybody?
[07:49] <malek> multidex: where's that option?
[07:49] <knicknic> the website seems to be down
[07:49] <malek> multidex: okay mine is on 2
[07:50] <Dant1> Hey does anyone know why I can't use 1024x768 for my screen res?
[07:50] <multidex> is the driver ALSA?
[07:50] <malek> multidex: yep
[07:50] <knicknic> where is the ubuntu website
[07:50] <crimsun> period/buffer should be a power-of-2, and at the very least divisible by 2.
[07:50] <Flannel> megafauna: it works for me.  It's three pieces, the rename command, then a quoted string that's a regular expression, then the files to act upon.  Those ` quotes are to denote that it's a command (in this channel), and shouldn't be fed to the command.
[07:50] <megafauna> Flannel: I had made a copy/paste error
[07:50] <multidex> malek - you might use package manager to make sure you have all the alsa packages - do other Jack audio programs work for you?
[07:50] <megafauna> Flannel: It works fine!:)
[07:51] <Flannel> megafauna: s/1/2/ is substitute 1 into 2, where 1 and 2 are regexps.  then the g at the end is global (so if there's more than one on a line)
[07:51] <malek> multidex: well I've never used jack before.
[07:51] <BeastlyKings> so nobody wants to or ya'll don't know how?
[07:51] <Flannel> megafauna: ah good. Thought I was losing my mind.
[07:51] <arch_> how can I have GNOME set the root background image (rather than a layer)? Or, how can I allow a different program (feh, qiv, chbg) to change the root background?
[07:51] <malek> multidex: I'll have a look in synaptic
[07:51] <NickGarvey> BeastlyKings, what was the question?
[07:51] <multidex> malek: oh cool.  finally i might be able to help somebody with something.  my frames/period are set to 512, sample rate is 44100, periods/buffer is 4
[07:52] <happy_nic> I killed it!
[07:52] <happy_nic> find ./ -name "[-] [-] " -exec rm '{}' \;
[07:52] <multidex> malek- your soundcard is full duplex I hope?
[07:52] <malek> multidex: hehe, happy to be of service to you ;-)
[07:52] <megafauna> Flannel: ah. ok. I got that the " " was changed to "_". , the g is global, I had to drop the quotes but I still don't get the "s"
[07:52] <happy_nic> that got rid of the file named --
[07:52] <BeastlyKings> NickGarvey: my XP partition won't boot: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11956/
[07:52] <malek> multidex: I don't even know what that means...
[07:52] <Dant1> 1024x768? Anyone?
[07:52] <megafauna> Flannel: how do I rename folders now?
[07:52] <SeveredCross> megafauna: s is for substitute
[07:52] <Flannel> megafauna: s is for substitute.  Just part of PCRE
[07:52] <BeastlyKings> NickGarvey: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11954/
[07:52] <NickGarvey> BeastlyKings, have anymore information?
[07:52] <SeveredCross> Dant1: Sounds like you need videocard drivers
[07:52] <SeveredCross> Which videocard you have.
[07:53] <megafauna> Flannel: "s" == easy as pie then..:)
[07:53] <SeveredCross> Err, which videocard do you have.
[07:53] <Flannel> lastlog -clear
[07:53] <malek> multidex: it's one of these: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738
[07:53] <Dant1> Ah. Yay for drivers
[07:53] <SirOsisOfTheLive> I just installed the ubunto 6.10 client.  Why can i not know the root password on my own machine?
[07:53] <megafauna> Flannel: It all makes sense now. Also thanks SeveredCross
[07:53] <NickGarvey> BeastlyKings, I mean, what happens when you try to boot it?
[07:53] <SeveredCross> SirOsisOfTheLive: It's blank I believe. :)
[07:53] <SeveredCross> And you don't need it, just use sudo.
[07:53] <Flannel> SirOsisOfTheLive: you can.  But, the root account is disabled by default, and there's absolutely no reason to re-enable it.
[07:53] <BeastlyKings> NickGarvey: "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format"
[07:53] <megafauna> Flannel: Can I make it do subfolders?
[07:53] <Flannel> SirOsisOfTheLive: not blank, locked.
[07:53] <SeveredCross> Ahh.
[07:54] <SeveredCross> I didn't know it was locked.

[07:54] <SirOsisOfTheLive> hmm i wanted to do a find from / and there were lots of folders i didnt have permission for
[07:54] <phasegen> puff:  I followed the instructions given at command line, file share program would start, but still not connect.  The official package was just too old.  The rest of the world had moved on.  I opened Automatix and found a comparable one, intalled it, and got up and running.
[07:54] <malek> multidex: so what alsa packages do I need?  alsaplayer-jack?
[07:54] <I_Glitch> [Tuxedo] , what card do you have?
[07:54] <blanky> hey guys I have wget  -nd -r -l1 --no-parent -A pk3 http://somesite/downloads/packages/ base/, but it wont move the downloaded files into the base/ folder, what must I do?
[07:54] <Flannel> SirOsisOfTheLive: use sudo.
[07:55] <multidex> malek: try changing Frame/Period setting to 512 and periods/buffer to four, click ok try to Start jack
[07:55] <SirOsisOfTheLive> ok ill try it .. thanks

[08:01] <ant-> hot`loaded : use the live cd to test ubuntu on your system, i would go with 6.10 (edgy eft)
[08:01] <khermans> i forget the syntax, but look it up

[08:04] <khermans> hot`loaded, need to register
[08:04] <mjbrooks> ant-, occasionally i'll launch a program and it'll look to be loading only to disappear    still trying to hunt down whats happening there
[08:05] <puff> Okay, so... I just installed feisty server.
[08:05] <hot`loaded> khermans how?
[08:05] <quaal> khermans, thats the same guide i just linked
[08:05] <crdlb> nick_, the floppy may need to be removed from you fstab
[08:05] <crdlb> your*
[08:05] <SuperTeece> if a usb wifi adapter claims to come with drivers for Kernel2.4/2.6+ does that mean it will work in Feisty?
[08:05] <ant-> mjbrooks : random programs?
[08:05] <hot`loaded> khermans how do i register?
[08:05] <rbwsam> kkd: go to organize bookmarks and export then import them
[08:05] <Flannel> !register | hot`loaded
[08:05] <ubotu> hot`loaded: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[08:05] <mjbrooks> ant-, yeah   no logic to it at all
[08:05] <jhernandez> hi. somebody can teach me with *.deb packaging? all my files are deployed in / directory :(
[08:05] <quaal> khermans, i'm making a raid1 array, so i'm using the raid1 section of the guide. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.6 ..I made the /etc/raidtab file just like the guide says
[08:06] <hot`loaded> !register
[08:06] <hot`loaded> !register /?
[08:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about register /? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:06] <SuperTeece> register | SuperTeece
[08:06] <nick_> crdlb, there is a folder there that just showed up called document i would like to boot
[08:06] <SuperTeece> lol
[08:06] <khermans> hot`loaded, /msg nickserv register <insert your pass here>
[08:06] <hot`loaded> register /?
[08:06] <SuperTeece> had to try
[08:06] <kkd> rbwsam: Ok thanks i will try
[08:06] <SirOsisOfTheLive> hmm.. packagemanager says i already have gcc 4.1 installed.  how do i find it on my system?
[08:06] <Flannel> SirOsisOfTheLive:
[08:06] <SuperTeece> !register | SuperTeece
[08:06] <SuperTeece> lol
[08:07] <nick_> crdlb, i have a link to a folder I created and the name on the link is doucments but i dont know how it got added to my places menu
[08:07] <Flannel> SirOsisOfTheLive: 'gcc' will run it.  It's in your path, you don't need to know precisely where.  But, 'which gcc' will tell you
[08:07] <NickGarvey> SuperTeece, /msg ubotu register
[08:07] <khermans> quaal, what is your error
[08:07] <puff> So, I just installed feisty and I chose "Guided with LVM" at the partition step, but i tnever really gave mea ny options for partitioning.
[08:07] <Flannel> puff: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty support.
[08:07] <hot`loaded> m i registered?
[08:07] <SuperTeece> NickGarvey: thanks
[08:07] <quaal> mkraid /dev/md0
[08:07] <quaal> bash: mkraid: command not found
[08:07] <nick_> crdlb, i figured there must be a txt file to edit for something
[08:07] <hot`loaded> hehehe
[08:07] <quaal> khermans.
[08:07] <I_Glitch> Wow..., some of the names of linux software... I sware devs must just slap their keyboards and whatever random letters come out, that's what they name their software.
[08:07] <SirOsisOfTheLive> Flannel: thanks
[08:07] <puff> Flannel: Many thanks.
[08:07] <crdlb> nick_, ~/.gtk-bookmarks
[08:08] <hot`loaded> can someone introduce me to ubuntu please its better if we do it in private
[08:08] <hot`loaded> :)
[08:08] <cowbud> I_Glitch: like?
[08:08] <Ademan> anyone using WINE from the ubuntu repositories, are you using 0.9.33 yet? cause mine refused to upgrade
[08:08] <I_Glitch> fglrx drivers
[08:08] <[Tuxedo] > Mine upgraded alright
[08:08] <cowbud> I_Glitch: firegl
[08:08] <cowbud> restricted
[08:08] <nick_> crdlb, that file is empty
[08:08] <cowbud> X
[08:08] <cowbud> drivers
[08:08] <mjbrooks> I_Glitch, actually there is logic behind most names
[08:08] <cowbud> hard times eh
[08:08] <BeastlyKings> NickGarvey: I did what that site said and now its even more broke
[08:08] <hot`loaded> can someone introduce me to ubuntu please its better if we do it in private :)
[08:08] <NickGarvey> BeastlyKings, "even more broke?"
[08:09] <I_Glitch> mjbrooks: lol, I know there usually is, but I usually can't for the life of me decide what it is.
[08:09] <Flannel> Ademan: wine won't upgrade to 0.9.33 on it's own.
[08:09] <tyler> later
[08:09] <khermans> hot`loaded, what are you trying to accomplish?
[08:09] <cowbud> fights urge
[08:09] <BeastlyKings> now it just says "disk doesn't exist" or something lke that. I was to mad to remember
[08:09] <Flannel> Ademan: versions of software in ubuntu are frozen, with only security/bugfixes throughout their lifetime.  Which is why, for instance, Dapper, will always have FF1.5, and never 2.0
[08:09] <Ademan> Flannel: yeah, it seems that way, i was wondering if there had been a fix (of the dependencies or something)
[08:09] <tabbot> Ademan: i think wine has official debs for ubuntu (not sure), check their main project -page
[08:09] <Flannel> Ademan: a fix?
[08:10] <khermans> hrmm ubuntu.com http is up, just giving 301
[08:10] <hot`loaded> any help me please
[08:10] <hot`loaded> :(
[08:10] <Ademan> Flannel: the WINE repositories, not the official ubuntu repositories
[08:10] <hot`loaded> :'(
[08:10] <Flannel> Ademan: oh, You'd have to ask in #winehq or something.
[08:10] <SuperTeece> ubuntu crashed?
[08:10] <mike__>
[08:10] <mjbrooks> I_Glitch, fglrx    Free GL (whatever R stands for) X driver
[08:10] <Ademan> tabbot: they've got their own repository for the newest WINE version, but the newest one (0.9.33) wont install because of some strange dependencies
[08:11] <hot`loaded> :(
[08:11] <Dant1> Why do I get an "Archive Not Supported" error when I try to install the rpm file for my graphics driver?
[08:11] <khermans> hot`loaded, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GOlLJP_Knk
[08:11] <hot`loaded> khermans i watched that already
[08:11] <BeastlyKings> NickGarvey?
[08:11] <tabbot> hot`loaded: introduce you? lol, read the wiki and webpages m8, alsp there are 100's of reviews, check out http://diveintomark.org/archives/2006/06/02/when-the-bough-breaks
[08:11] <hot`loaded> thats why m interested with ubuntu
[08:12] <khermans> ?
[08:12] <Flannel> Dant1: because Ubuntu uses debs, not rpm.  And can't install rpms directly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[08:12] <_stewie> hey guys
[08:12] <Flannel> Dant1: that page will show you how to convert
[08:12] <NickGarvey> BeastlyKings, get my PM?
[08:12] <_stewie> I'm installing ubuntu 6.04 on my laptop and it says
[08:12] <_stewie> configure the network
[08:12] <BeastlyKings> yeah
[08:12] <NickGarvey> freelancer317, dude!
[08:13] <tabbot> Ademan: weird! whats the error u are getting, cause i got no probs with 9.32
[08:13] <theblackhat> iam unable to update my firefox through synaptic package manager
[08:13] <Weems> whenever I run sudo i get "sudo: must be setuid root"
[08:13] <verma> _stewie, so configure it
[08:13] <mjbrooks> ant-, still getting used to this keyboard.... amazing how a few millimeters this way and that can screw you up
[08:13] <Weems> how do I fix it?
[08:13] <_stewie> yout network is probably not using Dhcp protocol. alternatively the dhcp server may be slow or some network hardware is not working properly?
[08:13] <detectiveinspekt> what are some good voice messaging programs for linux, gaim doesn't support any voice talk
[08:13] <khermans> well then just mess around with ubuntu until you break it or until you have another question more specific :-)
[08:13] <_stewie> why is that?
[08:13] <myrddraal> Would appreciate some help with X config
[08:13] <_stewie> i've a wireless lan adapter
[08:13] <verma> _stewie, do you have DHCP server running on your network?
[08:14] <NickGarvey> BeastlyKings, I need to sleep, its 2 in the morning here
[08:14] <Ademan> tabbot: open up your update manager, you should see 0.9.33 but it's not checked (because of the dependency problems i'm talking about)
[08:14] <_stewie> i'm not sure
[08:14] <NickGarvey> BeastlyKings, good luck, but I can't help anymore
[08:14] <myrddraal> I switch monitors and suddenly I can no longer go above 800x600
[08:14] <Flannel> detectiveinspekt: Ekiga (formerly gnomemeeting) supports the H.323 standard
[08:14] <_stewie> Verma, how can i find out?
[08:14] <BeastlyKings> K night
[08:14] <verma> _stewie, it configures itself automatically on other OSes?
[08:14] <detectiveinspekt> Flannel is there a windows version?
[08:14] <theblackhat> anybody there? iam using ubuntu 6.06 and iam unable to update the firefox through synaptic
[08:14] <khermans> hot`loaded, you know?
[08:14] <Flannel> detectiveinspekt: No.  But since it's a standard, there are plenty of windows clients, such as netmeeting.
[08:15] <hot`loaded> khermans i know what?
[08:15] <khermans> hot`loaded, just mess around with ubuntu until you break it or until you have another question more specific :-)
[08:15] <Flannel> theblackhat: What issue you having?
[08:15] <detectiveinspekt> oh thats good thanks.
[08:15] <hot`loaded> khermans i dont have one installed yet
[08:15] <theblackhat> flannel is that your talking about firfox?
[08:15] <hot`loaded> coz m afried if i install it
[08:15] <theblackhat> firefox 1.0.5
[08:16] <hot`loaded> i wont be able to do anything about it?
[08:16] <_stewie> actually i got laptop a few months ago
[08:16] <theblackhat> ubuntu 6.06 LTS
[08:16] <myrddraal> I can no longer select a resolution above 800x600 but my xorg.conf is set for higher
[08:16] <mirra> offtopic: do you guys know any good affiliate programs that techies would be interested in
[08:16] <_stewie> but as far as i know i've tried ubuntu live and my internet did work fine
[08:16] <mirra> ?
[08:16] <Flannel> theblackhat: 1.0.5?  You sure you're on Dapper? with 1.0.5?
[08:16] <theblackhat> yes of corse
[08:16] <Flannel> theblackhat: 1.0.X is Breezy, or 1.5 is Dapper
[08:16] <quaal> Why am i getting mkraid /dev/md0
[08:16] <quaal> bash: mkraid: command not found
[08:17] <khermans> hot`loaded, then download the vmware version
[08:17] <khermans> vmware server is free to use
[08:17] <theblackhat> yeah it is 1.5
[08:17] <hot`loaded> khermans how?
[08:17] <verma> _stewie, what is your wireless interface called? .. iwconfig
[08:17] <Flannel> theblackhat: right, and what are you trying to upgrade to?
[08:17] <khermans> hot`loaded, you on windows?
[08:17] <theblackhat> firefox 2
[08:17] <khermans> hot`loaded, http://www.vmware.com/download/server/
[08:18] <hot`loaded> khermans even if i am using windows xp
[08:18] <hot`loaded> ill be able to install that?
[08:18] <khermans> yes
[08:18] <Flannel> theblackhat: Alright.  In Ubuntu, versions of software (such as FF 1.5) are frozen.  Dapper will always have 1.5, and never will upgrade to 2.0.  If you want 2.0, you have a few options, upgrading to Edgy is probably what you want
[08:18] <hot`loaded> khermans yes i am on windows
[08:18] <khermans> hot`loaded, yes so install it
[08:18] <ant-> hot`loaded : just use the livecd to test ubuntu on your system, you dont have to install it to use it.
[08:18] <_stewie> verma may i pm you?
[08:18] <hot`loaded> ant- how can i get one?
[08:19] <theblackhat> oh thanq flannel
[08:19] <ant-> hot`loaded : download it.
[08:19] <verma> _stewie, talking here has a better chance on getting your problem solved, so talk here.
[08:19] <hot`loaded> ant- how an i get a live cd?
[08:19] <ant-> hot`loaded : or order one
[08:19] <_stewie> mmk
[08:19] <BeastlyKings> Well, Its off to buy a new XP cd, I can't boot this one
[08:19] <hot`loaded> ant- how do i donwload it?
[08:19] <ant-> !install | hot`loaded
[08:19] <ubotu> hot`loaded: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[08:19] <SpeedyIndy> is it just me or is the ubuntu website down?
[08:19] <khermans> ant-, i assumed he doesnt know how to burn  a disc
[08:19] <verma> SpeedyIndy, its down
[08:19] <_stewie> so i tried ubuntu live before installing from install cd and my internet did work fine
[08:19] <hot`loaded> khermans hey i know how to burn a disc

[08:20] <ant-> hot`loaded : if you dont want to download it, just order a cd
[08:20] <SpeedyIndy> can i upgrade to the fiesty beta using my edgy install?
[08:20] <verma> _stewie, yes, tell me the name of your wireless interface .. you can use the iwconfig command to find which one it is
[08:20] <ant-> hot`loaded : ubuntu.com
[08:20] <ant-> or
[08:20] <Flannel> !upgrade | SpeedyIndy
[08:20] <ubotu> SpeedyIndy: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[08:20] <ant-> !install | hot`loaded
[08:20] <ubotu> hot`loaded: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[08:20] <_stewie> linksys
[08:20] <verma> fiesty is still beta .. isn't it?
[08:21] <rageprblm> How do I install an rpm installer? I dont understand how to use a .tar.gz file to install a program
[08:21] <verma> _stewie, no, I need the interface name .. wlan0, eth1 or eth0
[08:21] <mjbrooks> verma, yes   beta and beautiful
[08:21] <hot`loaded> will i still be able to use my printer after installing ubuntu?
[08:21] <verma> _stewie, use the iwconfig command
[08:21] <khermans> verma, ive used feisty since january
[08:21] <RagePrblm> Im in feisty right now, it certainly is pretty
[08:21] <khermans> verma, 64-bit, no real issues
[08:21] <ant-> hot`loaded : get the livecd and test it.
[08:21] <transgress_> hey is there an option somewhere to change the gdm sound that is made when it starts up?
[08:22] <ant-> hot`loaded : you dont have to install it at first
[08:22] <verma> mjbrooks, beautiful :) .. I am trying kde4 developmental snap shot .. that should be beautiful
[08:22] <Flannel> RagePrblm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[08:22] <Schalken> !mencoder
[08:22] <_stewie> verma where do i use that command?
[08:22] <hot`loaded> ant- let me check ubuntu.com
[08:22] <ubotu> mencoder: MPlayer's Movie Encoder. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre8-0ubuntu8 (edgy), package size 3171 kB, installed size 7956 kB
[08:22] <RagePrblm> Thank you flannel, I appreciate your help
[08:22] <verma> khermans, ah nice ...
[08:22] <verma> _stewie, in a console window
[08:23] <Schalken> Does anyone know of an easy to use video converter?
[08:23] <mjbrooks> verma, when is that set to be released?
[08:23] <hot`loaded> ant- and ill go to the download section?
[08:23] <BeastlyKings> Really quick question: Can I just get rid of Ubuntu on this PC and let windows be the main OS without f#@%ing it up anymore than it already is?
[08:23] <ant-> hot`loaded : your asking obvious questions now
[08:23] <verma> mjbrooks, not sure .. somewhere around this year end ..
[08:23] <Flannel> BeastlyKings: yes.  Get a windows CD, and 'fixmbr', to restore your windows bootloader.
[08:23] <hot`loaded> ant- i mean i am looking for the live version
[08:23] <mjbrooks> verma, *sigh*
[08:23] <ant-> hot`loaded : i know, i told you to get that.
[08:24] <BeastlyKings> Can't I just delete the Ubuntu partition?
[08:24] <verma> aha, download complete, I am off to configuring it :D
[08:24] <hot`loaded> ant- will i still be able to use my printers and scanners
[08:24] <malek> does anyone know how to find out what application is using a certain device?  JACK won't start up because it can't access  hw:0 because some other program is using it.  I can't find that program though
[08:24] <hot`loaded> ant- for example i get rid of my windows and run linux?
[08:24] <anirudha> I just upgraded to Ubuntu 7.04 Fiesty Fawn, and it is great! The newest release of OpenOffice is soooooo much better. Ubuntu 7.04 = Even More Reasons To Ditch Windows!
[08:24] <Flannel> BeastlyKings: That's what you'll do to get rid of the Ubuntu OS, yes.  But the problm is then you'll be removing GRUB, so you'll have no bootloader.  You have to reinstall the XP bootloader.
[08:25] <BeastlyKings> Hmm... thats bad because I have no XP cd...
[08:25] <mjbrooks> anirudha, you do know that Feisty is still in beta   right?
[08:25] <khermans> hot`loaded, you can use printers and scanners in linux
[08:25] <ant-> hot`loaded : yes you can use printers in linux, whethers yours will work out of the box i cant answer
[08:25] <khermans> scanner support may be hit or miss
[08:25] <albacker> i know i should be in #ubuntu+1 but noone is answering there.. i just upgraded to feisty, and CTRL+[left|right]  arrow prints ;C5 and ;D5 even though, everything's right (talking about the bindings) in /etc/inputrc.. any idea ? thank you
[08:25] <anirudha> jbrooks, yes
[08:25] <hot`loaded> ant- or i need to download special drivers for that?
[08:26] <albacker> it should go backwards and forwards one word !
[08:26] <ant-> hot`loaded : you can dualboot linux and windows if you want
[08:26] <transgress_> how is it no one knows how to change the startup sound for gdm?
[08:26] <BeastlyKings> How do I fix my gub loader to load winows again?
[08:26] <I_Glitch> How do I change proxy settings via a command line?
[08:26] <I_Glitch> Anyone?
[08:27] <mjbrooks> I_Glitch, can you be more specific?
[08:27] <Adamantinus> Is there a HowTo somewhere for getting dual head working in Edgy Eft?
[08:27] <ant-> probly in #ubuntu-effects
[08:27] <BeastlyKings> How do I fix my gub loader to load windows again?
[08:28] <I_Glitch> Umm... I 'm testing ubuntu out, right now I only have the server edition, I want to play with it, but I can't get the internet connection to work, I think all I need is to play with proxy settings.
[08:28] <ant-> !grub | BeastlyKings
[08:28] <ubotu> BeastlyKings: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:28] <I_Glitch> But It's server edition, so I only have a command line.
[08:28] <anirudha> Adamantinus, Are you trying to dual boot Ubuntu 6.10 with Windows XP?
[08:28] <Flannel> BeastlyKings: if you can get windows to boot, you can burn a restore disk, I believe.
[08:28] <I_Glitch> And the only way I can find to configure it is to reinstall.
[08:28] <durkaji> im installing ubuntu right now and i choose the partition i want for / but it keeps saying "no root filesystem"
[08:29] <BeastlyKings> Flannel: Could I use some one else XP for that? Like on there computer at there house I make the disk and bring it back?
[08:29] <happytron> anyone know a proggy that pipes its standard input into the clipboard and vice versa? (like getclip/putclip in cygwin)
[08:29] <CrAsH_0vEr> if you want to load grub on dual boot, simple start with the cd #1
[08:29] <SuperTeece> BeastlyKings: sudo grub
[08:29] <SuperTeece> root (hd0,1)
[08:29] <SuperTeece> setup (hd0)
[08:29] <SuperTeece> quit
[08:29] <anirudha> Adamantinus, If so, then I think I can help you.
[08:30] <CrAsH_0vEr> it has a tool tha fix the mbr
[08:30] <mjbrooks> I_Glitch, are you getting an IP address?
[08:30] <CrAsH_0vEr> t
[08:30] <krista> verma i can't figure out
[08:30] <krista> :<
[08:30] <I_Glitch> mjbrooks: my IP address is manually configured
[08:30] <Flannel> BeastlyKings: believe so, yes.
[08:30] <verma> krista, figure out what?
[08:30] <krista> window console or whatever you said
[08:30] <krista> lol
[08:31] <verma> _stewie?
[08:31] <verma> oh lol
[08:31] <BeastlyKings> K, I'll try that later. I did sudo grub... now what?
[08:31] <mjbrooks> I_Glitch, you manually configured it?
[08:31] <krista> yes
[08:31] <SuperTeece> root (hd0,1)
[08:31] <SuperTeece> setup (hd0)
[08:31] <SuperTeece> quit
[08:31] <verma> krista, you are in windows right now?
[08:31] <SuperTeece> enter after each line
[08:31] <krista> my deskptop is on xp
[08:31] <krista> yes
[08:31] <I_Glitch> mjbrooks: yes
[08:31] <krista> i'm install ubuntu on my laptop
[08:31] <krista> and i got that network configure msg thing
[08:31] <mjbrooks> I_Glitch, did you remember to specify your gateway?
[08:32] <I_Glitch> mjbrooks: yes.
[08:32] <BeastlyKings> SuperTeece: was that info fr me?
[08:32] <verma> krista, boot into ubuntu ... open a command window KDE Menu->System->Konsole. Then type iwconfig and tell me what it lists
[08:32] <SuperTeece> that should reset grub to give the option for both.. I think
[08:32] <SuperTeece> BeastlyKings: yes, it worked for me a while back in a similar situation
[08:33] <krista> mm
[08:33] <krista> ok
[08:33] <verma> krista, are you running ubuntu or kubuntu?
[08:33] <SuperTeece> afk
[08:33] <krista> ubuntu
[08:33] <krista> can boot via live cd and tell you?
[08:33] <krista> or you want me to boot via install cd?
[08:33] <verma> krista, not necessary
[08:33] <krista> ok
[08:34] <verma> krista, don't need to have your link working to figure .. it will show
[08:34] <BeastlyKings> SuperTeece: So... I did that, typed in those commands.. is it fixed? close to being fixed?
[08:34] <BeastlyKings> SHould I reboot?
[08:34] <verma> can someone tell krista where the terminal program is in gnome?
[08:34] <SuperTeece> BeatlyKings: only a reboot will tell for sure
[08:34] <BeastlyKings> K thanks
[08:34] <anirudha> krista, applications->accessories->terminal
[08:35] <hot`loaded> ant- i choose ubuntu 6.10 and i386 is that correct?
[08:35] <SuperTeece> well my Feisty install is done, I'm off to test, night all
[08:35] <krista> ok
 Adamantinus, Are you trying to dual boot Ubuntu 6.10 with Windows XP? <-- I'm already doing that successfully. I want to use dual monitors. Not dual OSes.
[08:35] <verma> terminal is an accessory in gnome .. wow!
[08:36] <I_Glitch> lol
[08:36] <anirudha> Adamantinus, Oh okay, ... sorry I can't help you there.
[08:36] <hot`loaded> ant- i choose ubuntu 6.10 and i386 is that correct?

[08:36] <ubotu> Adamantinus: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[08:36] <verma> Adamantinus, I have dual monitors :) .. but they are a bitch :) .. I can paste my xorg.conf if you want to take a look
[08:36] <anirudha> verma, yes it is! =)
[08:37] <I_Glitch> hot`loaded, most likely, yes.
[08:37] <verma> accessories are "come play with me" things .. terminal is pretty serious stuff :)
[08:37] <msingh> is it a FAQ topic to express incredulity at the name?
[08:37] <[Tuxedo] > verma it's still fun to play with, none the less.
[08:37] <[Tuxedo] >  :p
[08:37] <verma> krista, have you been able to locate your terminal?
[08:37] <hot`loaded> I_Glitch thanks
[08:38] <krista> i'm loading ubuntu right now
[08:38] <alex__> i have used windows for a long time, what would be a way of changing video settings such as refresh rates in ubuntu?
[08:38] <hot`loaded> i need to wait for like almost 3 hours for this
[08:38] <verma> [Tuxedo] , sure it is .. till you get to one of those bad days :)
[08:38] <BeastlyKings> SuperTeece: no go, sorry
[08:38] <[Tuxedo] > alex__ look in system -> prefrences
[08:38] <verma> brb
[08:38] <[Tuxedo] > Under Screen Resolution :)
[08:38] <alex__> thanks
[08:39] <alex__> i just set up two monitors with twinview
[08:39] <[Tuxedo] > verma I had like 3 bad weeks after I installed Ubuntu... I'm afraid to install my cd-rw and dvd-rw now :P
[08:39] <alex__> and i can up the refresh rate
[08:39] <hot`loaded> why is it saying cannot display webpage for ubuntu.com?
[08:39] <[Tuxedo] > I think you can in xorg.conf
[08:39] <[Tuxedo] > hot'loaded I think they are under Digg effect at the moment.
[08:40] <epi> Hmm...is ubuntu the most popular distro?
[08:40] <crimsun> some say so.
[08:40] <[Tuxedo] > Not necsicarrily (however the hell you spell it :P)
[08:40] <Flannel> hot`loaded: server problems, it seems.  Not on your end necessarily.
[08:40] <mjbrooks> epi, according to distrowatch  yes
[08:40] <hase> I finally got my own laptop, so I can use ubuntu again, and i'm just wondering where to get xfce
[08:41] <[Tuxedo] > google is your friend.
[08:41] <anirudha> epi, the gnome graphics look good and the update manager is great!
[08:41] <crdlb> hase, install xubuntu-desktop
[08:41] <verma> not much eye-candy with kde4 yet
[08:41] <hase> thanks crdlb
[08:41] <dark_light> epi, ubuntu is the most popular distro in terms of, hmmm, 'hype' and downloads at distrowatch. but it isn't the most used distro (specially at servers)
[08:41] <[Tuxedo] > Anyone recommend any free games for Ubuntu?
[08:41] <mjbrooks> verma, that's okay,  beryl has plenty to keep me busy
[08:41] <Flannel> !games | [Tuxedo]
[08:41] <ubotu> [Tuxedo] : Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[08:42] <crdlb> [Tuxedo] , what type?
[08:42] <epi> Tuxedo, the benefits of unix are that your immune to warez!
[08:42] <[Tuxedo] > Thanks Flannel :)
[08:42] <anirudha> Tuxedo, bzflags is a very fun multiplayer shooting game!
[08:42] <verma> mjbrooks, yeah .. right .. I just want these stupid widgets to look nicer :)
[08:42] <mjbrooks> [Tuxedo] , yes,  I reccommend ALL of them   lol
[08:42] <anirudha> [Tuxedo] , bzflags is a very fun multiplayer shooting game!
[08:42] <epi> Spent the morning merrily downloading with zero problems.
[08:42] <[Tuxedo] > crdlb any type, really, I just need something to fill the time while burning/ripping :)
[08:42] <Carsten-> hi guys im attempting to install 7.04 on one of my pc's but when I try to do so it modprobes for a non existant floppy drive during installation, has anyone else has this issue?
[08:43] <[Tuxedo] > I've found Linux to be ulitimately superior when it comes to file sharing of any kind, which is why I switched to it.
[08:43] <Weems> why does sudo insist on being setuid root... it wont let me just type in my password and go
[08:43] <crdlb> [Tuxedo] , I find lbreakout2 (and ltris) oddly satisfying
[08:43] <verma> nice, doom3 on linux :D
[08:43] <[Tuxedo] > Weems try just using su and then doing the commands?
[08:43] <dark_light> [Tuxedo] , i like freeciv. and, hmmm, armagetron too. some say about enemy territory and cube, but i don't like too much
[08:43] <crdlb> [Tuxedo] , don't forget about the quake3 demo
[08:44] <[Tuxedo] > As long as the terminal stays open it keeps you logged in as root
[08:44] <dark_light> ps: oops, enemy territory isn't free
[08:44] <dark_light> cube seems to be
[08:44] <[Tuxedo] > Enemy Territory is free
[08:44] <[Tuxedo] > I play it on my XP comp all the time :P
[08:44] <Weems> [Tuxedo] : doesnt work
[08:44] <Flannel> [Tuxedo] : Weems, don't use su.  If you want to open a root shell, use `sudo -i`
[08:44] <dark_light> fine:)
[08:44] <Weems> thats just it
[08:44] <Weems> I cant
[08:44] <Flannel> Weems: why not?
[08:45] <anirudha> Carstern, Do you currently run Ubuntu 6.10?
[08:45] <Weems> it says setuid root everytime
[08:45] <verma> playing games on  a computer and then making your computer capable of playing upcoming games is an expensive affair, buy a console
[08:45] <Flannel> dark_light: su would require you to enable the root account, and there's no reason to do so.
[08:45] <Weems> sudo: must be setuid root
[08:45] <Carsten-> On this computer, yes.
[08:45] <dark_light> Flannel, well, I may want to log directly as root
[08:45] <verma> and then, bullshit updates, missing drivers and that feeling of not having the best .. it all sucks
[08:45] <epi> Pcs = Better RPG's, MMO's and much better Strategy.
[08:45] <Flannel> Weems: you did some chmodding, didn't you
[08:45] <Weems> maybe
[08:45] <Weems> I changed a folder
[08:46] <[Tuxedo] > lol
[08:46] <Flannel> Weems: usr/bin?
[08:46] <Weems> maybe i accidentally did all of them
[08:46] <anirudha> Carstern, If so then just execute the command: "update-manager -d" and it will take you through the upgrade steps for Ubuntu 7.04
[08:46] <Weems> yeah for bittornado
[08:46] <crdlb> Weems, which folder / ?
[08:46] <Weems> but I thought I did just one folder
[08:46] <Flannel> Weems: mhmm.  Right.    You've just broken your system.  Well, most likely.
[08:46] <anirudha> Carstern, BTW upgrading with DSL connection takes around 1-2hrs
[08:46] <crdlb> Weems, did you use chmod -R ?
[08:46] <Weems> no
[08:46] <Flannel> Weems: then what?
[08:46] <Weems> chmod 777
[08:46] <Carsten-> ok, but I don't want to upgrade this computer yet until the full release comes out i'd rather install it on another computer
[08:47] <Flannel> Weems: right, but what did you chmod?
[08:47] <crdlb> Weems, thne you couldn't have done that much damage
[08:47] <Weems> I thought I was inside the folder for Bittornado
[08:47] <Carsten-> when the install prog runs it crashes on a modprob to a floppy drive that pc has never had
[08:47] <Weems> I guess I wasnt
[08:47] <Flannel> Weems: what did you do? and where?
[08:47] <anirudha> Carsten-, Oh ... okay ... but I thought the 7.04 version has not come out yet?
[08:47] <Carsten-> ive got the iso burnt to cd
[08:47] <Weems> /usr/bin
[08:47] <Carsten-> not full, the beta
[08:47] <Flannel> Weems: You chdmodded it 777?
[08:48] <Carsten-> thats why i dont want to install it on this pc yet i just want to see whats new
[08:48] <anirudha> Carsten-, so what is exactly the problem?
[08:48] <mjbrooks> er,  I mean   ouch
[08:48] <Weems> sudo chmod 777 /home/weems/.BitTornado *
[08:48] <Weems>  <-- I did this earlier
[08:48] <Weems> not sure if that affected anything
[08:48] <mjbrooks> Doh!!   I see a space in there
[08:48] <Flannel> Weems: that asterisk worries me.
[08:48] <Carsten-> when I run the installation from the iso, the system modprobes for /dev/fd0 then crashes will not go any further
[08:49] <Weems> and I did this : sudo chmod 777 python btdownloadgui.py
[08:49] <Flannel> Weems: You're probably better off reinstalling.
[08:49] <Weems> but I dont think that couldve done anything
[08:49] <Weems> bah
[08:49] <Carsten-> Ive tried enabling / disabling fd in bios to no avail
[08:49] <mjbrooks> Weems, perhaps you mean to type 'sudo chmod 777 /home/weems/.BitTornado/*'
[08:49] <Weems> will I lose my files
[08:49] <Weems> yeah
[08:49] <Flannel> Weems: back them up
[08:49] <Weems> before it gave me an invalid file error
[08:49] <Weems> so thats when I did the space
[08:49] <Flannel> Weems: if you're in your home folder, there's no reason to use sudo.
[08:49] <hot`loaded> is there something like microsoft excel and microsoft access in ubuntu?
[08:49] <Flannel> Weems: as, you own everything.
[08:49] <Weems> ok
[08:50] <Weems> yeah
[08:50] <anirudha> Carsten-, my advice is to then install 6.10 on the other computer then upgrade using the command "update-manager -d"
[08:50] <Flannel> hot`loaded: OOo has a spreadsheet program, and Access has... well, a number of *real* databases.
[08:50] <Weems> but the python files wouldnt let me run them
[08:50] <mjbrooks> hot`loaded, openoffice
[08:50] <Carsten-> hmmmm ill give it a try
[08:50] <cyclopse> hi all
[08:50] <crdlb> Weems, were you in /usr/bin when you ran that command?
[08:50] <Weems> yeah
[08:50] <cyclopse> i use kubuntu 6.06 LTS
[08:50] <Weems> not the one for home
[08:50] <[Tuxedo] > Are there any flash web development programs for linux?
[08:50] <hot`loaded> Flannel and do i need to download the access/database programs?
[08:50] <corevette> hello cyclopse
[08:50] <Weems> but the btdownloadgui.py one yeah
[08:50] <cyclopse> where is the kernel headers located?
[08:51] <wafro> anyone know why #include <linux/module.h> is telling me mach_mpspec.h is missing?
[08:51] <Carsten-> it seems to be a kernel thing tho so im wondering if it will just do the same thing when i've updated it.
[08:51] <Flannel> hot`loaded: you'll need to install them, yeah.  And pick one.  If you want one of those GUI sorts of things, MySQL has one I believe.
[08:51] <Toma-> [Tuxedo] : flash studio works fine in wine
[08:51] <crimsun> cyclopse: I answered that in -kernel already.
[08:51] <[Tuxedo] > Toma- Okay, thank you! :)
[08:51] <crdlb> Weems, yeah, you need to reinstall, setting every program in /usr/bin/ to the proper permissions would be impossible
[08:52] <cyclopse> i need its size bcoz i got a very sow conxn
[08:52] <cyclopse> slo
[08:52] <cyclopse> slow
[08:53] <cyclopse> hey crimsun
[08:53] <anirudha> Carsten-, Btw, I upgraded to 7.04 Beta today ... top 3 new things I noticed are, 1. new background,  2. wireless internet setup software, and 3. latest OpenOffice.
[08:53] <Flannel> Weems: next time you run into an issue with permissions, don't chmod.  There's probably a better/safer alternative.  chmod is a hammer, very few things are nails.
[08:54] <Ashbringer> !x86_64

[09:00] <ShayGuy> I'm having trouble installing the OS. (6.10)
[09:00] <crdlb> alucard, why would you want to do that?
[09:00] <shatrat> alucard, you need to install some dependencies
[09:00] <ShayGuy> It keeps getting hung up on partitions.
[09:01] <shatrat> alucard, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Edgy#METHOD_2 here is a guide for installing manually
[09:01] <mjbrooks> hase, I believe you can get it through the the repositories

[09:02] <I_Glitch> Can I upgrade clear from breezy to edgy using apt-get upgrade?
[09:03] <Flannel> I_Glitch: You'll have to go through Dapper
[09:03] <shatrat> I_Glitch, sure, but only 1 step at a time
[09:03] <I_Glitch> Breezy, Dapper, Edgey, and Feisty..., what happened to C?
[09:04] <Flannel> I_Glitch: only after Dapper did they decide to go alphabetical
[09:04] <shatrat> I_Glitch, it isnt strictly aphabetical, look at hoary hedghog
[09:04] <I_Glitch> Oh, lol.
[09:05] <crdlb> I_Glitch, they are going alphabetical from now on though
[09:05] <ShayGuy> So what about my hard drive?
[09:05] <crdlb> but they may skip other letters
[09:05] <mjbrooks> yeah   like H  since they already
[09:05] <mjbrooks> used it
[09:06] <I_Glitch> When they get to H, they going to do Hoary revisited? ;)
[09:06] <I_Glitch> Oops, lol, you beat me to it.
[09:07] <[Tuxedo] > Will Flash Pro 8 work on Ubuntu under wine?
[09:07] <shatrat> appdb.winehq.org  <--look it up
[09:07] <xf`>  when i tried installing mysql-server, it says it cannot, because it needs mysql-server-5.0 however mysql-server-5.0 isn't configured yet. How do I configure mysql-server-5.0 please?
[09:08] <I_Glitch> Wine huh, have to get ubuntu drunk so it'll act like windows? :p
[09:08] <bluecat9> Q: How do I make a second hard disk which is formatted with NTFS auto-mount on boot? (hd1?)
[09:08] <Krista> verma there?
[09:08] <verma> Krista, yeah
[09:08] <shatrat> A: add it to your /etc/fstab
[09:08] <cyphase> Why does Banshee 0.12 insist on putting podcasts in the music directory, thereby making them show up in the "Music Library"? There's a gconf option in /apps/banshee/plugins/podcast/ called podcast_library, but Banshee doesn't respect this option. Any thoughts?
[09:08] <Ashbringer> I_Glitch: next thing you know, it'll be pinging ex-girlfriend servers and moving everything into kernel space
[09:09] <ShayGuy> I'm having trouble installing the OS. (6.10)
[09:09] <ShayGuy> It keeps getting hung up on partitions.
[09:09] <bluecat9> shatrat, thx --send Q: How do i mount it? :) : mount blah ?
[09:09] <EdgEy> what's the error message ShayGuy
[09:09] <I_Glitch> Ashbringer: I'm sure that's funny but I don't get it.  I must not be advanced enough.
[09:10] <bluecat9> *send = second
[09:10] <shatrat> bluecat9, add this line, /dev/hda1                                  /mnt/windows    ntfs         nls=utf8,umask=0222                                                           0  0  and it should mount automatically. Youll have to create /mnt/windows
[09:10] <shatrat> eww, ugly
[09:10] <bluecat9> shatrat, ty ty ty
[09:10] <shatrat> anyway, thats the line from my fstab so it must work amirite?
[09:10] <dj-ex> Q: i boot to a ubuntu live cd it starts to load with the bar movingback and forth on the screen it then hangs up anyone have any ideas why
[09:10] <Krista> verma i'm in terminal server client.
[09:11] <verma> Krista, that's not what you want .. the terminal program .. it should open a black or white colored window
[09:12] <Krista> oh k
[09:12] <Krista> its white now.
[09:12] <I_Glitch> Krista: It's a command prompt, kinda like MSDOS in Windows.
[09:12] <verma> Krista, nice ... run the iwconfig command now
[09:13] <Krista> ok
[09:13] <mjbrooks> dj-ex, what kind of system is it?  a laptop?
[09:13] <Krista> lo no wireless entenseions
[09:13] <Krista> etho no wireless extension
[09:13] <dj-ex> no pc
[09:13] <Krista> witO no wireless extensions
[09:13] <ShayGuy> Okay, I tell it to change the partitions: "The following operation could not be...Resize /dev/hda1 from...See the details..."
[09:13] <Krista> sit0* sorry
[09:13] <quaal> You might also want to experiment with the chunk size (eg. 8, 16, 32, 64, 128). Use a harddisk benchmark to check or stay with the default of 64k chunk size.
[09:13] <verma> Krista, is that all?
[09:13] <quaal> how do i determine the HD chunksize
[09:13] <Krista> yes
[09:13] <quaal> or is this not necessary
[09:14] <verma> Krista, what wireless card do you have?
[09:14] <Krista> Airlink
[09:14] <mjbrooks> dj-ex, have you tried using the safe video option?
[09:14] <dj-ex> no
[09:14] <Krista> 802 11g usb adapter
[09:15] <dj-ex> ill have to try it
[09:15] <alucard> im likin ubuntu, it supported my sound right away
[09:15] <ShayGuy> And in the details, there's "resize the filesystem->run simulation->ntfsresive -P --force --force /dev/hda1 -s..."
[09:15] <dj-ex> if it doesnt work i will return
[09:16] <ShayGuy> "...-s<PHONE_NUMBER>0 --no-action". And under that...some more stuff.
[09:17] <ShayGuy> Including "ERROR: Extended record needed (1176 > 1024), not yet supported! Please try to free less space."
[09:18] <D0wN> is there a command that shows what partition I'm booting off of?
[09:20] <kane`> where are the java libraries stored?
[09:21] <epi> Guys quick question, I just dled a Ubuntu, could you confirm that "Release i386" is 32bit?
