[11:24] <amarokker> mcphail: when we're building opera from source, does it use the static/shared qt libs? if its static, then the menus'd look terrible 'gainst the smooth gnome interface
[11:24] <Jenkins> i cannot find the exact one i used
[11:24] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: but the permissions reset at every boot
[11:24] <sanmarcos> J-_: well if you are going to use the external as a travel drive. I would suggest FAT32
[11:24] <Jenkins> but it worked good
[11:24] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: and that happened suddenly
[11:24] <dooglus> livingdaylig: that's "..", not "root".  ".." is the parent directory of /home/grasshopper, ie "/home", so yes, it should be owned by root
[11:25] <sanmarcos> J-_: or even, just make a small 100mb parittion of FAT32 to store fs-driver in there, or some other windows file
[11:25] <wthww> Ive installed ubuntu and everythings went well. im even on my wireless interent, (THAT was a pain) But ive i nstalled SDun JRE from add/remove but firefox still says its not installed, what do i do?
[11:25] <Jenkins> Can anybody here help me configure Kismet?
[11:25] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: udev is probably screwing you, and sleeping with your girlfriend/wife
[11:25] <likwidtek_> well im connected now wirelesslessly hanging out outside smokin
[11:25] <likwidtek_> so this worked.
[11:25] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: although, I dont know if udev genereates /dev/null. hmmm
[11:26] <likwidtek_> when I /etc/network$ sudo iwconfig eth1 rate 54M I kinda loose connectivity randomly
[11:26] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: most possibly a udev issue. What are the current perms on dev null ?
[11:26] <likwidtek_> but mleh... so far it's stable.. I will tweak it but right now i'm all good.  I'm having a blast with ubuntu tho this rocks
[11:27] <J-_> hmm yeah, small partition with fat32 with the driver and some extra space, and the rest ext3.
[11:27] <livingdaylig> dooglus: ok, i think  :|  i am getting better at this stuff. I'm just glad its working now. Yakuake i've discovered is a great drop-down terminal and i'm just used to k3b, and where would we be without a burner?
[11:27] <Locke> is there any way to install files directly from a tar.gz file?
[11:27] <likwidtek_> I think i did pooch my os x install when I parted the drive.  i get the grey spinning wheel of death.  I think i just need to run the disk utils on the os x install cd
[11:28] <oskude> Locke: tar.gz. are "zipped" packages, so they can contain like what ever...
[11:28] <J-_> sanmarcos: thanks for the information, much appreciated.
[11:28] <sanmarcos> J-_: sure man, any time
[11:28] <wthww> ok, ive got ubuntu installed and its working great, but i cant get Sun Java to work. even though its installed, firefox still says its not. any idea on what to do?
[11:29] <Locke> does ANYONE know anything about setting up a ventrilo server in the command prompt?
[11:29] <amarokker> wthww-ubuntu: have you tried the ubuntu-wiki?
[11:29] <likwidtek_> Jenkins, any idea on how to get the powerbook brightness and volume keys to work in ubuntu?
[11:29] <wthww> yeah... i had a page, but i lost t and have been trying to find it again all night
[11:29] <Jenkins> if you use sudo apt-get install to install something.. how would you uninstall that package?
[11:29] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: if you are still there, you might want to checkout /etc/udev and do a grep "null" * -Ri in there,  permissions.rules sounds very intersting to what your problem is about
[11:30] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: crw-------
[11:30] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: everything works by chmoding, but at every reboot that changes back
[11:30] <livingdaylig> May the FORCE be with YOU All. As these words fade into the distance and drop off the screen like some Star Wars credit (or intro) know it was not in vain. It meant alot to me and the value of it shall reverberate through ETERNITY!
[11:30] <Jenkins> Likwidtek_: no idea lol i got the same kinda keys but they are pretty useless.. i have a headset plugged in to my lappy and sound still comes from speakers lol
[11:30] <livingdaylig> AMEEN!
[11:30] <amarokker> if you follow it word to word, you'd get it to work in no time. ok, lemme see if i can point you to to the link
[11:30] <Jenkins> if you use sudo apt-get install to install something.. how would you uninstall that package?
[11:30] <likwidtek_> Jenkins,  heh i wanna get it workin.  i also have noticed that the power drains faster in ubuntu than os x
[11:31] <ruxpin> sudo apt-get remove
[11:31] <Seveas> wthww, if you don't want to be kicked, turn off useless scripts
[11:31] <dooglus> oskude: here's an "in writing" explanation of the 'gksudo vs. sudo' thing.
[11:31] <dooglus> oskude: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[11:31] <oskude> dooglus: thanx
[11:31] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: checkout my tip, might be helpful,
[11:31] <vl_h> sudo apt-get remove --purge
[11:31] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: crw is 600
[11:31] <wthww> i did
[11:31] <wthww> that what i was doing when i git kicked
[11:32] <vl_h> man apt-get
[11:32] <neuro-> Can anyone recommend a PCI Wireless NIC that will work on Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper?
[11:32] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: it should be 666, so try grep -Ri "null" * | grep "6" on /etc/udev
[11:32] <livingdaylig> dooglus: thx for the inside scoop. I'm reading it too
[11:32] <oskude> wthww: scripts (like "now playing") are not allowed here
[11:32] <sanmarcos> neuro-: most do, its just a matter of avoiding those which dont. Check the Ubuntu Wiki on Wireless
[11:32] <wthww> oskdude: i knew that. thats why i was turning it off WHEN i was kicked.
[11:32] <wthww> so, thanks.
[11:33] <oskude> wthww: well, now you know, shut it off before you enter...
[11:33] <Jenkins> is there a Defrag app in Linux?
[11:33] <dooglus> oskude: notice that it still doesn't really explain what's going on, and why they can't just fix sudo and/or the apps so they don't break things
[11:33] <sanmarcos> Jenkins: journalling file systems dont need defragging
[11:33] <oskude> dooglus: yup
[11:33] <dooglus> !info defrag
[11:33] <ubotu> defrag: ext2, minix and xiafs filesystem defragmenter. In repository universe, is extra. Version 0.73pjm1-7 (dapper), package size 66 kB, installed size 208 kB (Only available for i386)
[11:33] <dooglus> Jenkins: ^-- yup
[11:34] <dooglus> sanmarcos: how does a journal prevent fragmentation?
[11:34] <chol> could you recommend an nntp reader, for gnome or just graphical?
[11:34] <IRCMonkeyx> !eciadsl
[11:34] <ubotu> I know nothing about eciadsl - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[11:34] <Lexy> hi......?
[11:34] <Locke> alright, i have a program that runs in the command prompt, and i only have command prompt only, is there any way to run this program in the background and still keep it running while being able to do other things at the same time?
[11:34] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: ^
[11:34] <sanmarcos> dooglus: I had the idea that journalled systems didnt need defrags
[11:34] <ruxpin> Locke: append '&
[11:34] <ruxpin> Locke: script.sh &
[11:34] <IRCMonkeyx> !common commands
[11:34] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: yeah that is fine, can you paste me your ls -l /dev/null ?
[11:34] <ubotu> I know nothing about common commands - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:35] <IRCMonkeyx> ! commands
[11:35] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[11:35] <Seveas> chol, pan
[11:35] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: it's chmodded right now
[11:35] <dooglus> Locke: "screen" is very good - it lets you keep stuff running even after you close the terminal window, and come back to it later.  alternatively, for a cheaper solution, stick a '&' at the end of the command
[11:35] <ruxpin> crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2006-05-31 05:21 /dev/null
[11:35] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: ^
[11:35] <Virtuaal> Is there any solution to wrap files name in gnome desktop?
[11:35] <IRCMonkeyx> !format
[11:35] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[11:35] <chol> Seveas, thanks
[11:35] <dooglus> Locke: or if the command has already been started, hit control-z to stop it, then run 'bg' to make it continue in the background
[11:35] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: I did ga+rw /dev/null
[11:35] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: I suspect your system date is wrong, just wanted to confirm the theory that it was udev that changed it on system up
[11:35] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: its good that you have knowledge of unix permissions
[11:36] <livingdaylig> I never knew about gksudo
[11:36] <J-_> with gpart, i can't format the drive, it's locked. how should can i format it in linux? can i sudo gparted which will give me permission to format the drive?
[11:36] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: the date is correct
[11:36] <IRCMonkeyx> 1repair ubuntu
[11:36] <amarillion> I just got a crash when trying to watch this movie: http://www.iconfactory.com/ via mplayer plugin in firefox. Can somebody replicate this? Could this be due to the fglrx driver?
[11:36] <IRCMonkeyx> !repair ubuntu
[11:36] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: but it is most puzzling that udev would restrict /dev/null
[11:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about repair ubuntu - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:36] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: yes
[11:36] <IRCMonkeyx> !repair
[11:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about repair - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:36] <Seveas> IRCMonkeyx, don't play with the bot
[11:36] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: I'll reboot again to see what happens
[11:36] <dooglus> sanmarcos: I don't think there's anything special about journaled filesystems to do with defragging.  the journal just ensures consistancy in the event of a crash
[11:36] <IRCMonkeyx> i am not playing trying to learn sth
[11:36] <sanmarcos> dooglus: ahh, thanks for correcting me. But does EXT3 have a defrag tool? its not fsck
[11:36] <livingdaylig> Flannel: never knew aobut gksudo never mind teh distinction between sudo and gksudo in terms of how the configureation files are used
[11:36] <oskude> J-_: if its gnome program, its suggested that you use "gksudo program"
[11:37] <IRCMonkeyx> when i click to disk manager , it gives me a script error
[11:37] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: hmm no, google /dev/null permission, some very interesting results indeed
[11:37] <IRCMonkeyx> backend scrip error
[11:37] <He3eK> Can anyone answer a WiFi related question on Ubuntu?
[11:37] <Locke> how do i make a program run automatically in the CLI at bootup?
[11:37] <likwidtek_> He3eK, I can try.  sup
[11:37] <Seveas> !anyone > He3eK
[11:37] <DrBashir2> Evolution has an option to leave mail on my pop3 server, but how can I specify to only keep mail from the last 15 day's or so?
[11:37] <sanmarcos> Locke: add it to your .bashrc
[11:37] <Seveas> Locke, bootup or login?
[11:37] <IRCMonkeyx> how can i repair ubuntu ?
[11:37] <dooglus> sanmarcos: I would expect defrag to work on ext3, but I don't know.  I use reiserfs, and have never found a defrag tool for that.  or even a way of measuring the level of fragmentation.
[11:38] <Locke> seveas: well, both, i only run in CLI, i have no GUI
[11:38] <sanmarcos> IRCMonkeyx: please be specific
[11:38] <livingdaylig> oskude: yes, i learnt that from the article. So because gedit is a gnome program gkusdo should be used. But i wanstn clear why in the example given with nano sudo was used ?
[11:38] <dooglus> sanmarcos: I would be amazed if it isn't heavily fragmented though - I run with the disk 99% most of the time, and work with huge files.
[11:38] <livingdaylig> oskude: aguess, nano is not a gnome app?
[11:38] <Seveas> Locke, bootup: add it to /etc/rc.local login: ~/.bashrc is the place
[11:38] <oskude> livingdaylig: nano is a "text" program
[11:38] <sanmarcos> Locke: on init, create an init script, man update-rc.d (iirc) or man 8 init, for login put it in your .bashrc at the end and add a &
[11:38] <IRCMonkeyx> sanmarcos: when i click from administrator tools to disk manager, it cant be open
[11:38] <livingdaylig> oskude: and not gnome per se
[11:38] <oskude> livingdaylig: eeh, a text editor for the console/terminal
[11:39] <IRCMonkeyx> sanmarcos: when it says there is an backend script error
[11:39] <sanmarcos> dooglus: you should try XFS if dealing with huge files. I love it here. I heard horror stories with reiser3
[11:39] <livingdaylig> oskude: whereas gedit is?
[11:39] <oskude> livingdaylig: texteditor for gnome
[11:39] <Phenax> I've heard more horror stories about XFS than reiser3
[11:39] <livingdaylig> oskude: yea, ok  :p
[11:39] <sanmarcos> IRCMonkeyx: hmm probably a bug in the program, not ubuntu's fault
[11:39] <He3eK> I've got a netgear PCMCIA card that is not detecting on my laptop... how can I make it work?
[11:39] <IRCMonkeyx> sanmarcos: nothing to do ?
[11:40] <IRCMonkeyx> sanmarcos: can ti be releated with mounting ?
[11:40] <IRCMonkeyx> sanmarcos: can it be releated with mounting ?
[11:40] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: crw------- 1 root root 1, 3 2006-05-31 05:21 /dev/null
[11:40] <sanmarcos> IRCMonkeyx: no, I dont think so
[11:40] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: I can't do anything without chmod'ing
[11:40] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: if that is the correct date, then yeah, udev's fault
[11:40] <ruxpin> hm
[11:41] <dooglus> sanmarcos: I hear lots of bad things about reiserfs too, but didn't experience anything bad yet, despite ubuntu crashing more often than closing down cleanly
[11:41] <ruxpin> Fri Jul 28 12:41:11 EEST 2006
[11:41] <ruxpin> sanmarcos:
[11:41] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: ^
[11:41] <Phenax> I've ran reiser3 and reiser4 under pretty heavy load with no problems yet
[11:41] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: then why is the date on /dev/null may 31st?, try touching it
[11:42] <Leeif> how do i install a diff file?
[11:42] <psiborg> with patch
[11:43] <oskude> Leeif: you dont "install" a diff file, you patch that to the source code (normally)
[11:43] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: I removed it, and recreated the whole thing
[11:43] <GnarusLeo> what is a good newsreader client for ubuntu?
[11:43] <GnarusLeo> usenet*
[11:43] <chol> Seveas, sweet reader, i remember using this a few years back, seems to have evolved a bit since
[11:43] <psiborg> I use pan
[11:43] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: there are some files dated to May 31 in /dev/
[11:43] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: try grep "null" * -R in /etc/init.d/ maybe some script is screwing with you
[11:43] <dooglus> Locke: to run a program at login, add it to ~/.bash_profile.  if you add it to ~/.bashrc it will run every time you start a new shell, which you probably don't want.
[11:43] <chol> GnarusLeo, yeah, go for pan
[11:44] <GnarusLeo> thanks
[11:44] <Seveas> chol, it's actuallt evolved more but the beta versions aren't in Ubuntu yet
[11:44] <Leeif> oskude: what is better here? to use the diff or the debian folder? http://www.bootsplash.de/files/
[11:44] <psiborg> And slrn
[11:44] <psiborg> eh
[11:44] <oskude> Leeif: how should i know... read their README, or so...
[11:44] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: and try that google search
[11:45] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: ahh, try this mount -o remount,suid,dev /mnt/hda1
[11:45] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: I remember having a similar problem with changing fstab and all my perms going to hell
[11:46] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: I suggest you checkout your fstab line for /
[11:46] <Cute`Boy> ma italiano niente?
[11:46] <Locke> what would the username and password be on a samba file server freshly installed? just the regular Linux name and password?
[11:46] <frogzoo> !it
[11:46] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[11:47] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: it has this option: defaults,errors=remount-ro
[11:47] <Cute`Boy> ok
[11:47] <oskude> Locke: afaik, samba uses its own user database
[11:47] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: thanks for your help
[11:47] <chol> Seveas, i can wait, this one lets me read dragonflybsd bugs so i'm pleased :)
[11:47] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: hmm, nothing in init.d suggests tampering with /dev/null?
[11:47] <frogzoo> Locke: by default, samba doesn't sync the nix passwd - so be default, there are no users enabled
[11:47] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: many >/dev/null
[11:47] <Locke> how do i add users?
[11:47] <DrBashir2> Evolution has an option to leave mail on my pop3 server, but how can I specify to only keep mail from the last 15 day's or so?
[11:48] <frogzoo> Locke: to linux, or samba?
[11:48] <GnarusLeo> Whats the name of that good .NZB site? You to pay some money, but its way updated
[11:48] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: no chmod though, try adding an extra |grep "chmod"
[11:48] <Locke> frogzoo: i'm trying to turn my Linux box into a file server so i can access and back up all my files onto my linux server, so i need to set up samba to be able to connect from my Windows PC to my Linux server
[11:48] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: hmm, "nodev" seems to be the single most logical cause for it. But it isnt in your fstab
[11:49] <Flannel> Locke: did you read the samba howto?
[11:49] <tristan> How can I modify xmodmap.conf so that whe I press function+F6 it decreases my screen luminosity and when I press funtion+F7 it increases my screen luminosity?
[11:49] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: no
[11:49] <Locke> flannel: yes
[11:49] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: there's nothing in /etc/init.d/ that chmod's /dev/null
[11:49] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: I'll check nodev
[11:49] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: try rm'ing null and recreating it mknod -m 0666 /dev/null c 1 3
[11:50] <sergiol_elsewher> can sombody explain me why the /etc/init.d/postgresql8.0 start does nothing?
[11:50] <sergiol_elsewher> over ubuntu
[11:50] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: no nodev
[11:50] <Locke> frogzoo: so how would i go about adding users in samba?
[11:50] <frogzoo> Locke: you can create a samba passwd for a nix user with smbpasswd, or enable the password syncing in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[11:50] <sanmarcos> sergiol_elsewher: either it is empty or it has a check for something. The answer is in reading that file with an editor
[11:51] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: same problem with /dev/console
[11:51] <see> hello, how do i extract one file from a .deb?
[11:51] <likwidtek_> how can I emulate right mouse click on my powerbook in ubuntu?
[11:51] <sergiol_elsewher> it inly treats argv's and sources another file
[11:51] <sergiol_elsewher> * only
[11:51] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: what apps do you run as root?
[11:52] <cotroler>  Is there any way to login as root in the browser pls ??????
[11:52] <sanmarcos> cotroler: in the browser?
[11:52] <Locke> frogzoo: ok, so what would the logon name be?
[11:52] <cotroler> sanmarcos: in konquer
[11:52] <frogzoo> cotroler: it's dangerous & unnecessary
[11:52] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: and /dev/kmem, /dev/ppp, and grep retuns two odd files: "0" and "tun"
[11:52] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: you are seriously hosed
[11:52] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: only some ssh
[11:52] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: when did this start to happen?
[11:52] <frogzoo> Locke: the same as the matching nix account
[11:53] <DrBashir2> Evolution has an option to leave mail on my pop3 server, but how can I specify to only keep mail from the last 15 day's or so? or maybe a different Mail client?
[11:53] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: this morning, and I checked 'last' for odd logins
[11:53] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: none
[11:53] <Snake007uk> hey guys i am using a laptop with a additional screen attached is it possible on ubuntu to use both screens ?
[11:53] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: you use ssh client as root?
[11:53] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: you could do ssh -l root as a normal user
[11:53] <frogzoo> Snake007uk: which vid card?
[11:53] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: I do both
[11:53] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: try lastb
[11:53] <Locke> frogzoo: when i try to change the password it tells mecould not connect to machine <IP_ADDRESS> NT_STATUS_LOGON FAIRUL
[11:53] <Snake007uk> nvidia 6200
[11:54] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: something seriously changed, might have been an app, a service at boot..
[11:54] <seamus_ie> hey all...
[11:54] <Snake007uk> frogzoo: nvidia 6200
[11:54] <sgleo87> Can I just go into hibernate instead of shutting down my laptop or will I notice a decrease in performance after several days?
[11:54] <Snake007uk> frogzoo:  i also have xgl running
[11:54] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: UNKNOWN                                Thu Jul  6 11:07 - 11:07  (00:00)
[11:55] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: that's the only lastb that I think is not mine
[11:55] <frogzoo> Snake007uk: apart from xgl, dual monitor is a standard x feature
[11:55] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: well, I mean the issue is at startup
[11:55] <DrBashir2> whats the IRC channel for evolution?
[11:56] <DrBashir2> can't find it on the website
[11:56] <Locke> frogzoo: ok... i think i changed the password... would you know an online tutorial or something that could help me get through all this so i don't have to distract you?
[11:56] <sanmarcos> DrBashir: #evolution at irc.gnome.org. Evolution is also used by the bolivian druglord Evo Morales
[11:56] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: udev was at runlevels 3,4,5 and S, I removed it now from 3,4,5
[11:56] <sanmarcos> sanmarcos: I would suggest a purge --reinstall of udev
[11:56] <Snake007uk> frogzoo:  will i need to install anything to get dual monitors working ?
[11:56] <frogzoo> !samba
[11:56] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[11:56] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: I'll reboot again
[11:56] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: eh I wouldnt do that. without udev you will not get all the niceties of hardware/desktop integration in gnome
[11:57] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: udev is still at S
[11:57] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: but yeah, try to pinpoint if it is udev. Just so you kmow, it will boot without udev
[11:57] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: you can remove it you want, although I wouldnt recommend it
[11:57] <frogzoo> Locke: tldp.org is also very good, or find the samba docs themselves, which are very complete - just google
[11:57] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: I understand that runlevel S leaves the daemons running until runlevel 6
[11:57] <dooglus> ruxpin: the default in ubuntu is to use runlevel 2 for everything
[11:58] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: just try without udev, see if we can pinpoint the cause of this crap to be the devil's work (aka udev)
[11:58] <sgleo87> Can I just go into hibernate instead of shutting down my laptop or will I notice a decrease in performance after several days?
[11:58] <matko> hello what is LAMP?
[11:59] <Madeye> guys, how to allow unauthenticated packages >?
[11:59] <oskude> sgleo87: dunno, but i cant think why that should decrease performance... have you tried ?
[11:59] <dooglus> ruxpin: running "ls -l /etc/rc*.d/*udev" should show only one link: /etc/rcS.d/S10udev -> ../init.d/udev
[12:00] <ruxpin> dooglus: I've got four the links to 3,4,5 and S
[12:00] <alex_ndc> hi people, I have a problem ... I installed Apache2, php5 and mysql-server-4.1 ... I also installed php5-mysql and php5-mysqli ... these extensions haven't been activated ... how can I activate them ?
[12:01] <oskude> alex_ndc: do you have this installed: libapache2-mod-php5 ?
[12:01] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: dont worry, 2 is default. Udev just populates /dev on demand and handles hotplugging, the sky wont fall if you disable it
[12:02] <likwidtek_> Is it possible to mount my OS X partition in ubuntu and repair it so it will boot?  It is stuck on the spinning wheel of death since I resized the partition to dual boot ubuntu
[12:02] <alex_ndc> oskude: yes, libapache2-mod-php5 is installed
[12:02] <sgleo87> oskude: well...I don't know, I haven't tried but there has to be some disadvantage otherwise why would you shut a computer down completly instead of going into hibernate all the time
[12:02] <sanmarcos> likwidtek: hfs+ is supported
[12:03] <oskude> alex_ndc: and what isnt enabled ?
[12:03] <likwidtek_> thats what im running.  any idea what i can run to fix it?
[12:03] <alex_ndc> oskude: I think I have all extensions required installed ... but I think I am supposed to modify php.ini or something
[12:03] <sanmarcos> likwidtek: so yes. I do not know how you would go about repairing it, but it is supported, so just dmesg|grep hd and fdisk -l the specific hd, then mount it
[12:03] <Alessi0> hi all
[12:03] <alex_ndc> oskude: the mysql extensions are not enabled in php, so I cannot access the mysql database
[12:04] <oskude> alex_ndc: hmm, do you really have mysql sever installed ? can you login with "mysql -u root" ?
[12:04] <frogzoo> anyone have the problem where suspend makes sound crap out & amarok refuses to restart?
[12:04] <dooglus> ruxpin: I don't suppose you ever enter levels 3, 4, or 5, so it probably makes no difference.
[12:05] <oskude> sgleo87: well, i want my computer be off when i leave it...
[12:05] <alex_ndc> oskude: yes, I have it installed
[12:06] <oskude> alex_ndc: and a php file with "<?php phpinfo() ?>" doesnt show mysql ?
[12:06] <ruxpin^> sanmarcos: ok, now it seems to boot fine..
[12:06] <tristan> what can I do when xev doesn't recognize the button I'm typing on and there fore
[12:06] <llama32>  are there any good filesharing programs for linux [esp. KDE]  other than limewire and the various bittorrent clients?
[12:06] <tristan> it has no keycode
[12:06] <sgleo87> oskude: well hibernate is shutting it off but it saves everything on the hdd so when I turn it on again it opens up all the programs I had running before...oh well, I will just try it out and see what happens
[12:06] <sanmarcos> ruxpin^: the right permissions are there?
[12:06] <oskude> alex_ndc: im just wondering, as i didnt have to edit anything after i install "lamp"
[12:06] <tristan> llama32, amule
[12:06] <sergiol_elsewher> when i do apt-get install postgresql-8.0 shouldnt it install also conf files?
[12:07] <ruxpin> sanmarcos: yes, as I re-created the node
[12:07] <alex_ndc> oskude: no,  phpinfo doesn't show mysql ... it doesn't show GD either (I also installed GD)
[12:07] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: then problem fixed
[12:07] <oskude> alex_ndc: hmm, sec...
[12:08] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: the house is in order, I have to go to due obedience (aka sleep). Good night, and good luck
[12:08] <llama32> thanks tristan - will download
[12:08] <ruxpin^> well, the problem still persists for /dev/console..
[12:08] <likwidtek_> mount: can't find /dev/hda9 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[12:09] <likwidtek_> i did sudo mount /dev/hda9
[12:09] <likwidtek_> is that not right?
[12:09] <oskude> alex_ndc: i got extension=mysql.so extension=mysqli.so extension=gd.so at the end of my /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini but i cant recall adding them there
[12:09] <alex_ndc> ok, I'll try adding these lines
[12:09] <oskude> alex_ndc: have you restarted apache2 since installing ?
[12:09] <ruxpin^> oh well, there's a working ubuntu box right there that has the same perms now
[12:10] <ruxpin^> thanks for all your help
[12:10] <alex_ndc> oskude: yeah, I have ... it appears I don't have those lines in php.ini
[12:11] <agresor> Hi to all...
[12:11] <likwidtek_> how do I mount hda9 ?  sudo mount /dev/hda9  ?
[12:11] <oskude> alex_ndc: hmm... i remember i had to do something with gd to get it included, but definetly not by adding those lines... for mysql i didnt have to do anything...
[12:11] <agresor> is there here anyone that have successfull installed Webcam on ubuntu ?????????
[12:11] <agresor> i have Genius Webcam eye. And is there any way to install my usb webcam ?
[12:12] <oskude> alex_ndc: could be that when i installed apache2-mod-php5  with apt-get, it asked my if it should be activated
[12:13] <oskude> alex_ndc: dunno if synaptic asks that (or if it even asked with apt-get)
[12:13] <agresor> likwidtek,   sudo mount   /dev/hda9       /media/hda9     ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[12:13] <alex_ndc> well, thanks for your help, I added the lines and now phpinfo() shows mysql
[12:13] <agresor> but before that do
[12:13] <agresor> mkdir /media/hda9
[12:13] <agresor> ;p
[12:13] <oskude> alex_ndc: roger
[12:13] <longwave> oskude: when you install the php4-mysql package it adds the extension=mysql.so line at the bottom of php.ini
[12:13] <longwave> oskude: i presume it does the same for the other php4- extension packages
[12:13] <likwidtek_> agresor, it's a hfs+ drive
[12:13] <agresor> ah..
[12:14] <oskude> longwave: didnt seem to do for php5-mysql
[12:14] <nox-Hand> What would happen if I stopped a prelink?
[12:14] <likwidtek_> sorry :/  is there an easy way to do that?
[12:14] <oskude> longwave: but as i said, it did for me
[12:14] <barongas> I was queried by an installer to give the path to my java virtual machine (which I'm quite sure I installed a while back), any idea where this would be located?
[12:14] <nox-Hand> It's been prelinking for about 20 mins, and I think it's stopped
[12:14] <agresor> likwidtek, try to remove ntfs and put hfs+
[12:14] <agresor> ;p
[12:15] <likwidtek_> oh haha
[12:15] <likwidtek_> k
[12:15] <agresor> is there here anyone that have successfull installed Webcam on ubuntu ?
[12:15] <wsjunior> how to tell apt-get to skip trying to upgrade openoffice and go to the next packages.
[12:15] <agresor> likwidtek,  try to put that line in /etc/fstab  when next time reboot that will be mountet
[12:16] <longwave> likwidtek_: the filesystem type for hfs+ is just "hfs" not "hfs+" i believe
[12:16] <agresor> put it without "sudo mount"
[12:16] <nox-Hand> wsjunior, delte OOo
[12:16] <agresor> longwave,  u have try to install webcam ? :(
[12:16] <longwave> agresor: sorry, no
[12:16] <agresor> ok...
[12:16] <wsjunior> nox-Hand: i cant.. i gives me a msg asking to use -f but using -f doesnt solve..
[12:16] <likwidtek_> sudo mount   /dev/hda9       /media/hda9     hfs+    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[12:16] <wsjunior> nox-Hand: any idea?
[12:17] <likwidtek_> that have me a usage error
[12:17] <agresor> and... try without +
[12:17] <longwave> likwidtek_: change "hfs+" to just "hfs"
[12:17] <agresor> ;P
[12:17] <nox-Hand> You can't remove OOo from your PC? o_o
[12:17] <wsjunior> nox-Hand: no
[12:17] <likwidtek_> tried both still usage
[12:17] <longwave> oh wait, you can't just paste a line from /etc/fstab into sudo mount
[12:17] <sergiol_elsewher> what is the command to know which package a file came from?
[12:17] <longwave> likwidtek_: is that line in your /etc/fstab?
[12:17] <Seveas> sergiol_elsewher, dpkg -S file
[12:17] <nox-Hand> wsjunior, can't you go to Synaptic, search Open Office and remove all?
[12:17] <nox-Hand> o.o
[12:18] <likwidtek_> no I dont think so
[12:18] <longwave> likwidtek_: try "sudo mount -t hfs -o nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 /dev/hda9 /media/hda9"
[12:18] <wsjunior> nox-Hand: no
[12:18] <wsjunior> nox-Hand: i cant even get into X
[12:18] <nox-Hand> wsjunior, That
[12:18] <nox-Hand> 's effed up
[12:18] <longwave> likwidtek_: the way you had it before was the syntax for /etc/fstab, not for mount
[12:19] <likwidtek_> mount: mount point /media/hda9 does not exist
[12:19] <agresor> lol
[12:19] <agresor> create that folder
[12:19] <nox-Hand> apt-get remove <insert ALL openoffice packages here>
[12:19] <longwave> likwidtek_: did you make the /media/hda9 folder?
[12:19] <likwidtek_> lol sorry I didnt know I had to
[12:19] <nox-Hand> wsjunior, Why not upgrade them anywho?
[12:19] <likwidtek_> k lemme do that
[12:20] <nox-Hand> How much poo would I be in if I killed a prelinking process?
[12:20] <rexykik> what package do i need to compile stuff?
[12:20] <longwave> rexykik: build-essential
[12:21] <rexykik> thx
[12:21] <agresor> gcc , cpp, make
[12:21] <likwidtek_> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda9,
[12:21] <likwidtek_>        missing codepage or other error
[12:21] <likwidtek_>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[12:21] <likwidtek_>        dmesg | tail  or so
[12:21] <ogamiitto> my dapper box experiments little freezes (xorg, sound) when hard disk activity (for example extracting a compressed file), I've checked hdparm and dma is enabled, any clues?
[12:21] <agresor> [
[12:21] <likwidtek_> oops sorry
[12:21] <likwidtek_> thats the error I got
[12:21] <rexykik> ogamiitto, bad hd
[12:21] <agresor> likwidtek,
[12:21] <ogamiitto> it's a new one
[12:21] <agresor> try to do just this
[12:21] <longwave> likwidtek_: actually, i dont think hfs supports the "nls" option
[12:21] <agresor> sudo mount /dev/hda9 /media/hda9
[12:21] <sergiol_elsewher> can somebody tell me which package brings pg_hba.conf ?
[12:22] <rexykik> i would suggest returning it for a new one
[12:22] <longwave> likwidtek_: try just "sudo mount -t hfs  /dev/hda9 /media/hda9"
[12:22] <gean> hi all !
[12:22] <all> hi gean
[12:22] <longwave> sergiol_elsewher: postgresql, i think
[12:22] <likwidtek_> that worked!
[12:22] <likwidtek_> woo!
[12:22] <gean> all : thanks !
[12:23] <all> gean, Any Time!  Welcome!
[12:24] <agresor> ;\
[12:24] <agresor> that is not nice word
[12:24] <rexykik> it must have been a typo
[12:24] <longwave> likwidtek_: oh, i didnt realise it was damaged! unmount it then run "sudo fsck.hfsplus /dev/hda9"
[12:25] <rexykik> the letters are right next to eachother
[12:25] <Asc> ogamiitto: what kernel are you using?
[12:27] <gean> how can i reconfigure that x, so that the new TFT get more than 1024x768 ?!
[12:27] <ogamiitto> I'm using 2.6.15-26.386 (i'm using amd athlon processor )
[12:27] <likwidtek_> unmount /dev/hda9 ?
[12:27] <xadf> hi there
[12:27] <sergiol_elsewher> no
[12:27] <rexykik> gean, go into your hardware settings and change your monitor settings
[12:28] <xadf> is the breakage around updating to 2.0.3-3dapper3 known? if yes how do i fix it?
[12:29] <sergiol_elsewher> is theresomeway to do
[12:29] <sergiol_elsewher> dpkg -S pg_hba.conf
[12:29] <Asc> ogamiitto: okay.  I started getting similar freezes when I upgraded, but I'm using <IP_ADDRESS>...  Did you compile, or is there an updte to -26?
[12:29] <sergiol_elsewher> but to repository packages
[12:29] <sergiol_elsewher> i have it not installed
[12:29] <Asc> *update
[12:30] <emanuel_> im using a sempron 32bits socket 754.. the correct architeture is k7 ?
[12:30] <nox-Hand> YES, prelinking complete:D
[12:30] <nox-Hand> bbl
[12:30] <ogamiitto> vanilla update
[12:31] <likwidtek_> longwave, sorry to bother again.. I try to unmount but it says the device is busy
[12:32] <likwidtek_> nm got it
[12:32] <Asc> Meh.  I was thinking it might be because I'd screwed with the IO.  Ah well.
[12:32] <danf_1979> maybe there is some process running in there likwidtek
[12:32] <likwidtek_> it was me i was in the dir in my terminal  lol
[12:32] <danf_1979> that was the process, heh
[12:32] <rexykik> likwidtek, dos user?
[12:33] <gean> rexykik, i tried all with the new menu of ubuntu, didn't get the hardware setting, and the Screen Resolution Preferences gives me 1024x768 as maximal (although at install i also specified some 12??x10??). There was but some xconf-reconfigure (??) or so, that i cannot remember... (it also does stuff about fonts & other) Which is the right spelling of that command ?!
[12:33] <likwidtek_> sudo: fsck.hfsplus: command not found
[12:33] <ruxpin> gean: X -configure
[12:34] <sergiol_elsewher> how can i know what package brings pg_hba.conf ?
[12:34] <ogamiitto> Asc, maybe is a good idea to update to a k7 kernel?
[12:34] <rocky1> Howdy ppl
[12:34] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: dpkg -S pg_hba.conf

[12:34] <sergiol_elsewher> no
[12:34] <sergiol_elsewher> i have i not installed
[12:35] <sergiol_elsewher> i want to know waht package to install

[12:35] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[12:36] <Asc> ogamiitto: Might be, but I don't know what a k7 kernel is
[12:36] <likwidtek_> is fsck.hfsplus available for ubuntu?
[12:37] <frogzoo> ogamiitto: k7 means going 64 bit, best to stick with 686 tbh
[12:37] <ogamiitto> Asc, optimized kernel compilations for amd processor
[12:37] <frogzoo> is k7 64bit, or is there a separate a64 kernel?
[12:37] <sergiol_elsewher> dpkg -S pg_hba.conf

[12:38] <Zhukov_> hi there
[12:38] <gean> frogzoo, sorry, got the error message from runnin' X -configure, thought copy-paste it does a ``normal job''
[12:38] <rexykik> any plans for a fubuntu?
[12:38] <sergiol_elsewher> does it search the things installed on my machine or in repository
[12:38] <likwidtek_> longwave, is fsck.hfsplus available for ubuntu?
[12:38] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: currently installed
[12:38] <Asc> Ah.  I'm using an old celeron... not really something about which I'm qualified to have an opinion
[12:38] <ruxpin> can you recommend a light firefox-type www-browser with tabs, for old hardware
[12:39] <sergiol_elsewher> and is nt there a way to search in repositories?
[12:39] <ogamiitto> ruxpin, epiphany browser is what you are looking for
[12:39] <Asc> ruxpin: Epiphany is light and decent.  Also Opera.
[12:39] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: packages.ubuntu.com
[12:39] <Asc> yar, beat me to it.
[12:41] <ogamiitto> Asc, do you have custom kernel installed?, I don't have any 2.6.17 kernels in synaptic
[12:41] <Luna-Tick> It is surprisingly quiet in here.
[12:42] <Asc> ogamiitto: yes
[12:42] <sergiol_elsewher> You have searched for pg_hba.conf in breezy, architecture i386.
[12:42] <sergiol_elsewher> Can't find that file, at least not in that distribution and on that architecture
[12:42] <sergiol_elsewher> how can i know my distro?
[12:42] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: so no help there - read the file itself for clues
[12:43] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: lsb_release -a
[12:43] <webben> When I login to my ubuntu box via PuTTY, i'd love my console colours to be black-on-white rather than the other way round, as in sunlight i have great difficult reading grey text on a black screen.
[12:44] <webben> What's the best way to accomplish this, given PuTTY supposedly announces itself to the server as an Xterm session
[12:44] <leo__> webben: that's a putty setting rather than a ubuntu setting
[12:44] <ogamiitto> I think i'm going to run a diagnostic tool for the hard drive
[12:45] <ogamiitto> bbl
[12:45] <Asc> When configuring the kernel for a desktop, which preemption option should I use?
[12:45] <webben> leo__: well, it's not really ... putty just allows you to set how colours are interpreted (i think), not what colours are actually there
[12:45] <webben> leo__: so for example, if you change colours with bash, putty shows those colours
[12:46] <Nikoladze> could somebody please explain the difference between hoary breezy and dapper? I can't find anything on google. which is stable/testing/unstable?
[12:46] <sergiol_elsewher>  Description:    Ubuntu (The Breezy Badger Release)
[12:46] <lhds> hey there got the live v6 cd got the partitions ready but the screen resolution is screwd therefore cannot proceed to install  help!
[12:46] <sergiol_elsewher> is it that?
[12:46] <webben> leo__: which perhaps implies that the grey-on-black is actually an ubuntu setting
[12:46] <likwidtek_> anyone know how to install fsck.hfsplus for ubuntu ?
[12:46] <orbin> Nikoladze: all are stable, dapper being the latest
[12:47] <leo__> webben: have you looked at the Putty -> Window -> Colours settings already?
[12:47] <Nikoladze> orbin, they're based on debian stable/testing/unstable no?
[12:47] <jrib> webben: I set colors in urxvt using ~/.Xdefaults, I believe xterm works the same way.  man urxvt has the optiosn I use, man xterm probably lists them for xterm as well.  A google search for Xdefaults should give you some samples.  Not sure if putty will "play nice" with these though...
[12:47] <webben> leo__: yes
[12:47] <webben> jrib: interesting, thanks
[12:47] <orbin> Nikoladze: based on debian, yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28Linux_distribution%29#Releases
[12:48] <webben> leo__: i think it's a bad idea to set colours in a way that the server isn't aware of them
[12:48] <webben> leo__: because any programs which actually make an effort to make text legible with the system colors can't
[12:49] <jrib> webben: it does seem like it should be putty settings to set the colors though, since putty is acting like an xterm or urxvt would
[12:49] <Nikoladze> why does firefox not include the firefox logo?
[12:49] <jrib> Nikoladze: license reasons
[12:50] <help-the-n00b> Does Python need a compiler?
[12:50] <TTilus> webben: most programs just use "default foreground" and "default background", which are different from ANSI black and white
[12:50] <webben> jrib: really? what licence reasons apply to the logo but not the software?
[12:50] <orbin> Nikoladze: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship
[12:50] <lhds>  hey there got the live v6 cd got the partitions ready but the screen resolution is screwd therefore cannot proceed to install  help!
[12:50] <likwidtek_> anyone know how to install fsck.hfsplus for ubuntu ?
[12:50] <Nikoladze> orbin, thanks
[12:50] <orbin> lhds: screwed how?
[12:51] <jrib> help-the-n00b: python is interpreted
[12:51] <help-the-n00b> How?
[12:51] <wietz0r> anyone here use wireless ?
[12:51] <help-the-n00b> I play wireless video gmes!
[12:51] <TTilus> webben: reversing default video of specific terminal is a different issue from telling one program or another use different colors
[12:51] <lhds> orbin the screen resolution is low and the install program is too big to fit in screen .... tried the boot vga options, it changed the loading but not inside gnome
[12:52] <help-the-n00b> Yesterday I played hide and seek with someonee over on the west coast!
[12:52] <sergiol_elsewher> HEEEEEELP
[12:52] <orbin> lhds: hold alt.  that will let you drag the window by clicking anywhere in it
[12:52] <TTilus> webben: i guess what you want is to reverse default gf and bg from putty conf (window > colours)
[12:52] <help-the-n00b> With a handheld! It was wireless!
[12:52] <wietz0r> Anyone here have a suggestion for a good supported wireless network card ?
[12:52] <sergiol_elsewher> pg_hba.conf WHERE DO THAT COMES?
[12:52] <webben> TTilus: i think my point is that if a program like ls uses color intelligently then it's worth setting colors in a way that ls can introspect them
[12:52] <lhds> well that will do thanx
[12:52] <help-the-n00b> Get the one in the Nintendo DS.
[12:52] <Luna-Tick> Wietz0r: I use wireless
[12:53] <webben> (of course ls may set colors mindlessly, but one would hope at least some programs would do so intelligently)
[12:53] <help-the-n00b> Works for me. But porbably not for you.
[12:53] <Luna-Tick> I personally have an Intel IPW
[12:53] <jrib> webben: http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/trademarks/faq.html
[12:53] <wietz0r> Luna-Tick: what network card ?
[12:53] <erider> I need some help. I'm trying to apt-get clisp or sbcl and I have a newly installed ubuntu and I'm new to linux. Can someone give me some advice? I'm getting that the package can't be found. But it should be there right?
[12:53] <TTilus> webben: progs use either default fg & bg or specific colours
[12:53] <webben> jrib: thanks for the link
[12:53] <Luna-Tick> Built into the centrino and works well for me
[12:53] <orbin> lhds: you could also try seeing if you can change res via sys >preferences > screen res
[12:53] <wietz0r> Luna-Tick: did it work out of the box ?
[12:54] <help-the-n00b> How do I do Python? Is it a server-side script?
[12:54] <jrib> Nikoladze: sine you asked the original question, you may be interested in http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/trademarks/faq.html as well
[12:54] <TTilus> webben: how specific colors are used is a per-prog issue and afaik theres no general way of setting per user color palettes
[12:54] <Luna-Tick> Yes - the ubuntu installer sets it up without issue
[12:54] <wietz0r> Bah
[12:54] <wietz0r> Hopefully I'll just get a wired connection
[12:54] <lhds> nah that wont change orbin ill stick to the alt thing
[12:54] <help-the-n00b> How do I use it?
[12:54] <jrib> help-the-n00b: http://python.org/doc/tut/
[12:55] <help-the-n00b> Oh ok.
[12:55] <orbin> lhds: right
[12:55] <Luna-Tick> If I understand correctly, the driver for it is open source but maintained by Intel. The firmware is closed source, but they include it so that it all works for people.
[12:55] <webben> TTilus: i can believe that it's chaotic like that... just saying that a program like ls might for example not set something in green if the foreground color is already set as green in bash/xterm (i may be wrong about that)
[12:55] <Luna-Tick> If you can get a wired connection, it will work better under Linux
[12:55] <frogzoo> help-the-n00b: libapache2-mod-php5
[12:56] <orbin> erider: clisp is in "universe"  you need to enable the extra repositories
[12:56] <orbin> erider: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories
[12:56] <TTilus> webben: bash does not care about colors, term does but prog has no way of knowing what term actually displays if it is asked to display "defaut background"
[12:56] <orbin> erider: sbcl is in universe too
[12:57] <rocky1> cya all later
[12:57] <webben> TTilus: ah ... that's interesting (it's also pretty silly :( )
[12:57] <TTilus> webben: actually it is pretty portable  :)
[12:57] <webben> TTilus: really? how so?
[12:57] <TTilus> webben: b&w translates directly to default bg&fg
[12:58] <erider> orbin: how does one enable the repositories?
[12:58] <webben> TTilus: but pick up with my example of ls colors ... if you have your fg set as green then colors may become indistinguishable
[12:58] <Luna-Tick> !repositories
[12:58] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[12:58] <sergiol_elsewher> is there a way i can search the uninstalled packages database for that file?
[12:58] <gean> i'm asking again after trying & doin'
[12:59] <sergiol_elsewher> i did have it here
[12:59] <help-the-n00b> Where's the #unbuntu-offtopic
[12:59] <gean> can somebody please help me reconfigure my X to also have 12??x10?? resolution (for the supplementary TFT to my laptop) ?! please..
[12:59] <help-the-n00b> ?
[01:00] <TTilus> webben: progs propably are not that stupid that they would set fg but leave bg as default (or at least they should not do that)
[01:00] <gnomefreak> help-the-n00b: type /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:00] <cotroler> How do you uninstall programs in kubuntu?? is there an uninstaller or something?
[01:00] <orbin> erider: see Luna-Tick's second link
[01:00] <webben> TTilus: sorry, that's not quite the point i was making
[01:00] <gnomefreak> cotroler: adept
[01:00] <TTilus> webben: afaik there are no such, but could be, of course
[01:00] <sergiol_elsewher> a thing like dpkg -S
[01:00] <sergiol_elsewher> but for removed packages
[01:00] <TTilus> webben: no, that really is the point
[01:00] <livingdaylig> is there a reason why Realplayer is in Applications/Graphics?
[01:00] <erider> ok will do :)
[01:01] <webben> TTilus: not the point _I_ was making :)
[01:01] <cotroler> gnomefreak: but does adept uninstall other programs for example enemy territory?
[01:01] <TTilus> webben: ok, i see, you have a bad point  :D
[01:01] <gnomefreak> livingdaylig: because you are using the commericial repo
[01:01] <webben> TTilus: well maybe :)
[01:01] <webben> TTilus: what i was talking about is that ls uses different colors to represent different file types
[01:01] <livingdaylig> gnomefreak: huh, is that the right home for it? figured it would be sound/video
[01:01] <gnomefreak> cotroler: should uninstall anything on your system that dpkg or apt was used to install
[01:02] <webben> TTilus: the issue is not whether fg can be distinguished from bg
[01:02] <TTilus> webben: if you have an intelligent program it has a way of knowin what is displayed (that it is very propably something intelligent)
[01:02] <livingdaylig> gnomefreak: should i use another version? a better one?
[01:02] <webben> TTilus: but whether files colored fg can be distinguished from other colors
[01:02] <webben> TTilus: well, yeah, except you just said that was impossible (hence my comment that it was a silly situation)
[01:02] <TTilus> webben: intelligent program will always use differen fg and bg
[01:03] <gnomefreak> livingdaylig: realplayer is normally under sound/video not sure why its in graphics
[01:03] <webben> TTilus: again, this isn't about the difference between fg and bg ... it has nothing to do with it at all
[01:03] <cotroler> gnomefreak: /usr/local/games/enemy-territory thats the directory and adept didnt find it
[01:03] <TTilus> webben: prog cant ask what the colour use percieves, exactly is
[01:03] <livingdaylig> gnomefreak: should i try again. Delete and reinstall?
[01:03] <gnomefreak> cotroler: did you compile it?
[01:03] <livingdaylig> gnomefreak: it just looks weird there
[01:03] <TTilus> webben: but prog _can_ always ask term to use specific colour
[01:03] <gnomefreak> livingdaylig: no is it hurting anything by being there?
[01:03] <cotroler> gnomefreak: what do you mean by complie it pls?
[01:04] <gnomefreak> livingdaylig: you can try if you like personally i wouldnt both
[01:04] <gnomefreak> bother
[01:04] <webben> TTilus: yes... my impression is ls doesn't actually do that (that is, ls does respond to bash settings) but i'm not sure exactly how it does work
[01:04] <gnomefreak> cotroler: how did you install ET?
[01:04] <offs> I tried yesterday initng and it is slowest than the normal init in my ubuntu dapper :?
[01:04] <cotroler> gnomefreak: yes of course :)
[01:04] <livingdaylig> gnomefreak: well, as long as it is ok, right now it only hurts my aesthetic need for right order and symmetry
[01:04] <TTilus> webben: if term is set so that there are different(ly labelled) colours which are the same, the term is broken, not the world  :)
[01:04] <gnomefreak> cotroler: How?
[01:05] <webben> TTilus: differently labelled colors? I don't get that. Bash just allots an ansi color escape sequence to fg and bg.
[01:05] <livingdaylig> gnomefreak: i just thought if that is not quite right, what else could be wrong
[01:05] <sergiol_elsewher> how can i force an apt-get install to use breezy ?
[01:05] <cotroler> gnomefreak: i ran the installer (.bin file) and installed automatically
[01:05] <webben> TTilus: so at the end of the day ls must specify some other escapes for its colors
[01:05] <TTilus> webben: those sequences are the labels
[01:05] <TTilus> webben: term translates them to colors it shows
[01:06] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: you're asking how to do that on a SUPPORT channel? dude...
[01:06] <gnomefreak> ah cotroler ok no adept wont find that you have to delete that or run the uninstall script (if there is one)
[01:06] <webben> TTilus: ah i see what you're saying, well i doubt term changes the link between sequences and colors at all
[01:06] <sergiol_elsewher> isn't it natuarl to ask here?
[01:06] <sergiol_elsewher> natural
[01:06] <Murfy_> hello
[01:06] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: if you're running dapper, use dapper packages.
[01:06] <sergiol_elsewher> no
[01:06] <TTilus> webben: all terms i have seen are fully configurable in that sense
[01:06] <Murfy_> what's the difference between sites-available and sites-enabled in apache2 on dapper?
[01:06] <apoka> Hi
[01:06] <sergiol_elsewher>  i thnk mine is breezy
[01:07] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: then don't ask for support :)
[01:07] <cotroler> gnomefreak: what does the uninstaller script look like? if i dont have I have to manually delete the whole directory??
[01:07] <TTilus> webben: you really can make "ANSI green" whatever you like
[01:07] <sergiol_elsewher> why
[01:07] <webben> frogzoo: isn't breezy still supported?
[01:07] <gnomefreak> sergiol_elsewher: type lsb_release -a
[01:07] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: if you're running breezy, apt will pick up the breezy packages
[01:07] <gnomefreak> webben: yes
[01:07] <sergiol_elsewher> this channel is only dapper's?
[01:07] <tjansson> I just sat up rsnapshot which i have done before, but weekly and monthly doesn't do anything. daily and hourly does however?
[01:07] <frogzoo> webben: sure it is, but deliberately running breezy packages on dapper is definately not supported
[01:07] <Murfy^> what's the difference between sites-available and sites-enabled in apache2 on dapper?
[01:07] <tjansson> what have i done wrong
[01:07] <gnomefreak> cotroler: ive never installed that game so i really couldnt tell you.
[01:07] <apoka> Somebody have a Creative PD1001 (WebCam)
[01:08] <apoka> ?
[01:08] <webben> frogzoo: but he is running breezy
[01:08] <TTilus> Murfy^: sites-enabled is read, the other is not
[01:08] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: no, it's also breezy, hoary, & warty
[01:08] <sergiol_elsewher> so if it exists a v 8.1 in dapper and it not exists in breezy what does it do?
[01:08] <cotroler> gnomefreak: k tnx anyway ;)
[01:08] <TTilus> Murfy^: you link from available to enabled what you use
[01:08] <webben> frogzoo: i think he's just phrased his queston in a confusing manner
[01:08] <Evil_Ed`> sup?
[01:08] <frogzoo> webben: if he's right, then apt will select the breezy packages by default
[01:08] <sergiol_elsewher> if breezy last is 8.0
[01:09] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: lsb_release -a
[01:09] <Murfy^> TTilus so when i set up virtual hosts, i need to do that in sites-enabled
[01:09] <webben> sergiol_elsewher: do you mean you want to install a dapper package on breezy?
[01:09] <skane> Murfy^: enabled are links to available. apache uses only what is linked. so you can easily switch on and off by adding or removing a link
[01:09] <gnomefreak> sergiol_elsewher: please paste your /etc/apt/sources.list file to pastebin
[01:09] <frogzoo> webben: that's not supported either ;)
[01:09] <TTilus> Murfy^: no, you do not, but it is the way you are expected to do
[01:09] <sergiol_elsewher> LSB Version:    n/a
[01:09] <sergiol_elsewher> Distributor ID: Ubuntu
[01:09] <sergiol_elsewher> Description:    Ubuntu (The Breezy Badger Release)

[01:09] <TTilus> Murfy^: and the way everybody else does it  :)
[01:09] <webben> frogzoo: it might not be supported, but at least we'd know what he's trying to do
[01:09] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: fair to say apt will pick up the breezy packages without intervention
[01:09] <Luna-Tick> Okay - so he is using breezy
[01:10] <Lukas> hi
[01:10] <gnomefreak> sergiol_elsewher: please also do uname -r
[01:10] <webben> sergio_eleswher: just to be clear ... what are you trying to install?
[01:10] <ogamiitto> back!,
[01:10] <sergiol_elsewher> 2.6.12-10-386
[01:10] <ogamiitto> Asc, I've upgraded to 2.6.15-26-k7, and there is a lot of improvements
[01:10] <tjansson> is there a ubuntu-server channel?
[01:11] <gean> ok, seems that "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" does what i wanted, thanks for (the few) hints...
[01:11] <gnomefreak> tjansson: you found it;)
[01:11] <gnomefreak> brb coffee
[01:12] <Luna-Tick> Sergiol, what was the package that you are wanting to install?
[01:12] <Asc> ogamiitto: oh, good.  So it was probably that you were using a kernel not optimal for your architecture?
[01:12] <Lukas> How a I associated mp3 to XMMS at mc? I can it in /usr/share/applications/default.list, but it is only for GNOME.
[01:12] <ogamiitto> no freezes, more efficient memory managemnt (i had a lot of swapping), right now i have oppened 2 instances of eclipse, firefox with more than 14 tabs, gajim, amsn, terminal.. and is not freezing
[01:12] <tjansson> I haveing strange problems with rsnapshot backup - see http://pastbin.uni.cc/8765
[01:12] <Luna-Tick> If you are looking for a really easy way to really help Ubuntu, join the popularity contest. This sends the packages you use to the Ubuntu developers so that they can put the popular ones on the CDs, give them priority when fixing bugs etc. For details on how to configure popcon, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuPopularityContest - we need lots of users, especially "normal" users before it is any use!
[01:13] <ogamiitto> Asc, of course, if you experiment the freezes, maybe is time to do the same for you
[01:13] <auro> auo
[01:13] <frogzoo> Luna-Tick: popularity contests are fascist :)
[01:13] <sergiol_elsewher> my sources.list http://rafb.net/paste/results/tRT3e380.html
[01:13] <tjansson> ups wrong url - here is the right one
[01:13] <Asc> Lukas: in my experience, if you open a file in XMMS via double clicking, it clears the playlist.  You might be happier dragging files to the current playlist
[01:13] <tjansson> http://paste.uni.cc/8765
[01:14] <ogamiitto> Asc, thanks for everything
[01:14] <davegoodson> Hey, is there any way to fix this? when i click a window i need to click the title bar to bring it into focus when there is another window on top of it.
[01:14] <Asc> ogamiitto: Okay.  I just started a new compile (for my specific processor, too)
[01:15] <ogamiitto> Asc, good luck, and good bye
[01:15] <Asc> ogamiitto: Thanks for testing, too.
[01:15] <Asc> later
[01:16] <Luna-Tick> (I did hear you frogzoo, but it has the potential to get even more off-topic than my original post. Feel free to private message me about it_
[01:17] <laucky> hello everyone, my fglrx stopped working after the last update (edgy) . X says "fglrx: module requirement mismatch". btw. the fglrx-module is listed in lsmod
[01:17] <laucky> any ideay how 2 get around this
[01:18] <_delirium> I am using Ubuntu 6.06 AMD 64, and I tries to enable Large Page Support, but the option doesnt seem to be there - cat /proc/meminfo | grep Huge - returns nothing? is Large Page Support disabled?
[01:18] <davegoodson> Hey, is there any way to fix this? when i click a window i need to click the title bar to bring it into focus when there is another window on top of it.
[01:19] <frogzoo> _delirium: is large page support a 64bit attribute?
[01:19] <Lukas> Asc: I can do XMMS via couble click, which add song to the playlist.  command: xmms -e
[01:19] <webben> Could the firefox logo be a multiverse package?
[01:19] <detectiveinspekt> where is the config file for networking?
[01:20] <frogzoo> webben: nope - mozilla tm won't allow it
[01:20] <cotroler>  got this error when installing azureus: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19091
[01:20] <frogzoo> detectiveinspekt: /etc/network/interfaces
[01:20] <sergiol_elsewher> can somebody do "locate pg_hba.conf"
[01:20] <Asc> Lukas: nifty.  I'll look into enabling that.
[01:20] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: zilch
[01:20] <webben> frogzoo: because it doesn't count as complete official stable binary, just the logo on its own?
[01:21] <sergiol_elsewher> and with the result of that "dpkg -S $result"
[01:21] <frogzoo> webben: the image is trademarked, hence not redistributable
[01:21] <laucky> @davegoodson: perhaps system->settings-> windows
[01:21] <sergiol_elsewher> where $result is result of locate
[01:21] <sergiol_elsewher> PLEASE
[01:21] <gean> davegoodson, there are many possibilities to choose the window behaviour, the old Linux feeling has been replaced by the ``click to focus'' strategy... think some System->Preferences gives u the chance to choose what u want
[01:21] <longwave> sergiol_elsewher: pg_hba.conf is installed as part of the postgresql package
[01:21] <detectiveinspekt> what do I do if the dns in my resolv.conf keeps changing
[01:21] <detectiveinspekt> and i have to reset it again
[01:21] <sergiol_elsewher> longwave: no
[01:21] <jrib> sergiol_elsewher: use packages.ubuntu.com to search for files, afaict no package has that file though the postgresql packages have samples...
[01:21] <webben> frogzoo: well, it's redistributable under certian conditions surely -- i mean you can stick firefox on a CD and redistribute it
[01:21] <sergiol_elsewher> i found not it
[01:21] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: I begin to suspect that file doesn't even exist
[01:22] <Lukas> Asc:thanks for intrest
[01:22] <frogzoo> sergiol_elsewher: pastebin the file
[01:22] <longwave> sergiol_elsewher: postgresql installs /usr/share/postgresql/7.4/pg_hba.conf.sample which you can use as a sample, or i believe the postinst script installs a copy for you anyway
[01:22] <Luna-Tick> Webben: the issue is quality control
[01:22] <Luna-Tick> Firefox don't let people who change the program use the logo
[01:23] <Luna-Tick> This means that those that have an official build can tell
[01:23] <Seveas> sergiol_elsewher, pg_hba.conf lives in /etc/postgresql/8.1/main (if using pg 8.1)
[01:23] <Luna-Tick> And Ubuntu makes changes to the official builds
[01:23] <Luna-Tick> (please correct me if I am wrong)
[01:23] <gean> this ubuntu upgrade makes me crazzzy, no hibernate, screen preferences are reduced (although dpkg-reconfigure run many times !) and TeX (tetex-*) was not properly installed !
[01:23] <Seveas> Luna-Tick, you're right
[01:23] <sergiol_elsewher> ok can now you do dpkg -S of that filepath?
[01:23] <webben> Luna-Tick: i see ... i wonder whether Mozilla could be persuaded to make official builds for ubuntu
[01:23] <longwave> Luna-Tick: you're correct
[01:24] <Seveas> webben, ubuntu won't be persuaded to accept them
[01:24] <webben> Seveas: really? what's the problem with that from Ubuntu's POV?
[01:24] <Seveas> webben, Ubuntu builds packages by itself
[01:25] <GeorgX> hi
[01:25] <h3x0r> i wish somebody would fix the lighttpd -7 fork problem
[01:25] <sergiol_elsewher> Seveas:
[01:25] <sergiol_elsewher> please
[01:25] <webben> Seveas: well, it should really be theoretically possible to have a joint-building process involving both QA teams
[01:25] <h3x0r> fork from debian that is
[01:25] <Seveas> theoretically yes
[01:25] <longwave> webben: it is possible, but why would mozilla foundation want to do that?
[01:25] <longwave> they already produce a working version of firefox, if ubuntu wants to package their own then that's up to them
[01:25] <GeorgX> does anyone here use an ati radeon card with the drivers from ati?
[01:25] <ompaul> webben, dreams - and why would the ubuntu people want to do that
[01:25] <sergiol_elsewher> dpkg -S /etc/postgresql/8.1/main/pg_hba.conf
[01:26] <longwave> sergiol_elsewher: pg_hba.conf is not owned by any package, it is created by the post-install script i believe
[01:26] <h3x0r> The lighttpd package -3 currently available for ubuntu is broken with php4
[01:26] <Seveas> sergiol_elsewher, the file is created by the postinst, so it's not in any package list
[01:26] <GeorgX> they work fine for me, except that I can't get it to work with a resolution higher than 1024x768
[01:26] <webben> Longwave: because Firefox depends not only on its technical advantages, but on its brand power (that's why they trademark the logos in the first place)
[01:26] <frogzoo> GeorgX: for most purposes, the latest fglrx is better
[01:26] <h3x0r> which makes it pretty useless
[01:26] <GeorgX> and it only works in 24 bit mode
[01:26] <webben> if your product appears sans branding, that's bad
[01:26] <webben> (it's also bad from a user perspective, and that affects your product too)
[01:27] <laucky> frgzoo: you have knowledge about that fglrx?
[01:27] <longwave> webben: but then if they produce a ubuntu version, someone would want a fedora version and a debian version and so on, and they don't have the resources to support all that
[01:27] <blaamann> I can find a package with 'apt-file search packageName', but when i try to install it with 'apt-get install packageName' it says it does not exist. What is wrong ?
[01:27] <GeorgX> @frogzoo: I tried them before, same problem
[01:27] <Lukas> .
[01:27] <frogzoo> !fixres > GeorgX
[01:27] <webben> longwave: well, there are already teams working on those versions, so ideally it would be a matter of simply incorporating those groups under a common umbrella process
[01:27] <sl021> hi
[01:28] <_delirium> frogzoo: im not sure, its certainly available on 32bit SuSE, its something that was added to the 2.6 kernel - http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/dagastine?entry=java_se_tuning_tip_large
[01:28] <longwave> webben: at least it is still called "firefox" in the ubuntu build, just because there's a different icon does not dilute the brand very much
[01:28] <GeorgX> @frogzoo: is fixres a tool?
[01:28] <_delirium> fo0bar: see the linux section
[01:28] <frogzoo> GeorgX: if 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' doesn't work, try setting horizsync/vertrefresh in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:28] <_delirium> frogzoo: see the linux section
[01:28] <webben> longwave: oh, i agree, it could be even more diluted
[01:28] <frogzoo> GeorgX: read your pm
[01:28] <sl021> i need help with installing ubuntu dual-booting with windows
[01:28] <jrib> blaamann: maybe apt-get and apt-file were updated at different times and there were changes in the mean time.  What package?
[01:28] <GeorgX> @frogzoo:  cool thanx, that may help
[01:29] <laucky> frogzoo: X has a module requirement mismatch with fglrx, what do ya think i have 2 do
[01:29] <longwave> blaamann: what is the package in question?
[01:29] <ompaul> webben, to try and understand what our trying to influence have a listen to this talk by Alan Cox (a noted kernel hacker, and serial port leader)  on open source projects and they way the interact with the world around them http://bigbro.skynet.ie/resources/ogg/AlanCox_UL_20060513.ogg it is offtopic for here but if you want to discuss it chat about it in #ubuntu-offotopic
[01:29] <blaamann> jrib: I've updated them both. It is the dvdrip package
[01:29] <dcomsa> can someone tell me a good file manager, with twin panels?
[01:29] <ompaul> webben, s/our/your
[01:29] <sergiol_elsewher> where can i find the the post-install script?
[01:29] <ardchoille> blaamann: Tried gnome commander?
[01:29] <webben> ompal: thanks :)
[01:29] <jrib> blaamann: pastebin your sources.list please
[01:29] <longwave> blaamann: dvdrip should install if you have the multiverse repository enabled
[01:30] <ardchoille> !info gnome-commander
[01:30] <ubotu> gnome-commander: nice and fast file manager for the GNOME desktop. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.1.7-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 550 kB, installed size 2228 kB
[01:30] <frogzoo> laucky: dunno, it just worked for me
[01:30] <ompaul> dcomsa, you can use nautilus and change the view and same in konqueror or install mc midnight commander amoug other things
[01:30] <ardchoille> blaamann: sorry about that
[01:30] <laucky> frog: u have edgy?
[01:30] <frogzoo> laucky: dapper
[01:30] <ardchoille> dcomsa: Tried gnome commander?
[01:30] <sergiol_elsewher> where can i find the the post-install script?
[01:30] <dcomsa> ompaul: does nautilus has an option for twin view?
[01:30] <dcomsa> ardchoille: yes
[01:31] <laucky> frog: well, i think, it's a edgy problem. but thank you nevertheless
[01:31] <frogzoo> dcomsa: regrettably, no
[01:31] <jrib> sergiol_elsewher: debian/*.postinst ?
[01:32] <dcomsa> i'm using bc commander now, but it's not very powerfull
[01:32] <ompaul> dcomsa, check out the little drop down bar at places it might do what you want
[01:32] <johan__> I've totally forgotten the name for the app that allows you to use windows drivers for your wifi card...what's the name?
[01:32] <longwave> johan__: ndiswrapper?
[01:33] <Luna-Tick> sergiol: I believe that longwave meant that the file is created when you install postgresql
[01:33] <johan__> longwave: exactly. thanks
[01:33] <dcomsa> ompaul: what drop down bar?
[01:33] <Luna-Tick> according to http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/client-authentication.html , "A default    pg_hba.conf file is installed when the data    directory is initialized by initdb."
[01:33] <dcomsa> ompaul: in nautilus?
[01:33] <blaamann> longwave: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19092
[01:35] <longwave> blaamann: on line 28 in that pastebin, you need to add "multiverse" after "universe", then apt-get update, then you will be able to install dvdrip
[01:35] <Luna-Tick> longwave: avoiding guis?
[01:35] <Ronz> i've got an external hard drive that is border-line dead. once i forge the data that i can off of it, should a format help, or does it sound like its gone?
[01:36] <blaamann> longwave: Thanks, I thought that if apt-file found it apt-get would install it
[01:36] <longwave> i am just used to doing everything the command line way :)
[01:36] <Luna-Tick> Ronz: I would guess that it depended what was wrong with it. If it is really dead then... well... it is really dead.
[01:37] <longwave> Ronz: what do you mean by border-line dead? if it is reporting SMART errors, or you get errors in your kernel log, then it's probably best just to throw it away
[01:37] <dcomsa> on edgy: after an update, the X server crashed with something related to ABI versions. does anyone know a fix for that? (i have an ATI card)
[01:37] <godfather> hi guys
[01:37] <Luna-Tick> Hi
[01:37] <Ronz> longwave, Luna-Tick , it will work fine for about 10 minutes, then i get an I/O error
[01:37] <godfather> g'day everybody
[01:37] <fredy> hello
[01:38] <godfather> i'm looking for a winmx like program
[01:38] <godfather> anyone can help me?
[01:38] <Ronz> godfather, azureus
[01:38] <Luna-Tick> Probably amule
[01:38] <void^> dcomsa: i think it's not a good idea to use fglrx drivers on edgy, but you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:38] <Ronz> or limewire
[01:38] <godfather> i've got amule
[01:39] <gean> better then azureus (just an own taste): amule, or directly the bittorrentz
[01:39] <godfather> but i'm looking for a music filesharing
[01:39] <dcomsa> void^: the channel is pretty quiet, so i thought anyone here knows
[01:39] <dcomsa> void^: and if i used fglrx drivers, how can i change them?
[01:40] <Luna-Tick> Ronz: I would personally give it a format and see whether it helped, but I wouldn't expect it to.
[01:40] <Luna-Tick> But I'm nothing like an expert.
[01:40] <Ronz> thats what i was thinking Luna-Tick . gotta try to forge all my stuff off of it. =/
[01:40] <gean> godfather: make sure u also install streamtuner & streamripper, it's ``just radio'' but radio is more...
[01:40] <Ronz> 80 gigs / 4 years of files
[01:40] <Ronz> lol
[01:41] <Ronz> thanks! time to get ready for work
[01:41] <Ronz> later al
[01:41] <Ronz> l
[01:41] <ompaul> dcomsa, sorry s/bar/box the word places
[01:41] <godfather> hey huys is there anyone who has installed real player
[01:41] <voraistos> hey guys. i gat some trouble with wifi

[01:47] <nemlah> A quick question regarding a memory leak with xorg.. is there a fix somewhere?
[01:48] <nemlah> changing to linux for efficiency doesn't make much sense if i have a 100MB xserver running
[01:48] <Luna-Tick> sergiol: I believe that longwave meant that the file is created when you install postgresql
[01:48] <Luna-Tick> according to http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/client-authentication.html , "A default    pg_hba.conf file is installed when the data    directory is initialized by initdb."
[01:48] <gean> seems that i have to reboot (restart) the x, in order to get the new installed Screen Pref's... strange wish me luck, c u soon...
[01:49] <PingunZ> hi , can someone tell me HOW to use wiki ( edit it etc ) just a guide ...

[01:52] <help-the-n00b> Is there a video game channel?*
[01:52] <l4sthUnt> Can anyone here help me with WINE on ubuntu
[01:52] <l4sthUnt> i read two full threads on the forums
[01:52] <l4sthUnt> but neither workds
[01:53] <jrib> l4sthUnt: someone might try to help you, but you have to be more specific
[01:53] <jrib> sopido: maybe there are some settings for the disc in fstab?
[01:53] <l4sthUnt> i need to start from scratch
[01:53] <voraistos> or u can just go on winehq
[01:53] <jrib> s/disc/partition
[01:54] <l4sthUnt> Where do i find binaries or sources for WINE for AMD 64
[01:54] <l4sthUnt> all i see is i386
[01:54] <l4sthUnt> but i have amd64
[01:54] <voraistos> on winehq.com ?
[01:54] <l4sthUnt> what do i do
[01:54] <l4sthUnt> i read the forums
[01:54] <l4sthUnt> nothing they say works
[01:54] <jrib> !enter
[01:54] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[01:54] <longwave> sopido: usually in mount, you put the -t and -o options before the device and mount point, try "mount -t vfat -o gid=100,uid=1000 /dev/hdh3 /mnt/hdh3" instead?
[01:54] <l4sthUnt> they're bad with there cases
[01:55] <l4sthUnt> can someone help me plz
[01:55] <k31th> where would i look to see why this  ubuntu box kernel panic'd
[01:55] <voraistos> ok; u dl the source tarball;
[01:55] <l4sthUnt> i need help installing and running WINE on a AMD64
[01:55] <l4sthUnt> dapper
[01:55] <l4sthUnt> can someone help me
[01:55] <l4sthUnt> i've read threads and done google searches
[01:55] <voraistos> l4sthUnt: do u have the source ?
[01:55] <longwave> !patience
[01:55] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:55] <l4sthUnt> no where do i get the source there
[01:55] <cd_rom> can i install packges from edgy branch?
[01:56] <voraistos> l4sthUnt: go on their damn website !
[01:56] <l4sthUnt> they don't have it on the site
[01:56] <l4sthUnt> they just got i386
[01:56] <l4sthUnt> no AMD64
[01:56] <erider> what respository is slime on?
[01:57] <ThunderStruck> cd_rom: its not safe doing that
[01:57] <jrib> !info slime
[01:57] <ubotu> Package slime does not exist in dapper
[01:57] <sopido> jrib, no there are the same settings in fstab, anyway these should be overridden by cmdline.. longwave, no i also tried this but it does not help :(
[01:57] <cd_rom> hmm
[01:57] <cd_rom> ok, thank
[01:57] <voraistos> l4sthUnt: just go o their website. all u need is to compile it for your kernel. they explain everything
[01:58] <cd_rom> it's just that the xchm-1.2 keeps poping up the warning message
[01:58] <codecaine> is there a program for ubuntu for speech to text?
[01:58] <l4sthUnt> is their site http://www.winehq.com/site/download
[01:58] <l4sthUnt> ?
[01:58] <sopido> according to mtab the gid/uid are set .. but not in the filesystem...
[01:58] <l4sthUnt> that's where i am now
[01:58] <voraistos> l4sthUnt: "run 'apt-get build-dep wine'. This will download the needed development packages for your system to make the wine package. Then, run 'apt-get --build source wine', have a snack, and wait for the compiling to finish."
[01:58] <l4sthUnt> kk hope it works
[01:59] <Luna-Tick> l4sthUnt: Is there are reason that you want to build it yourself?
[01:59] <l4sthUnt> no
[01:59] <l4sthUnt> i just want to have it
[01:59] <l4sthUnt> i need to run some small windows appz
[01:59] <trukulo> voraistos, he's using amd64, i don't know if wine is compatible with amd64
[01:59] <l4sthUnt> and it's takin me forever idk why
[01:59] <l4sthUnt> am i the only one who has this much trouble
[01:59] <l4sthUnt> i got ubuntu yesterday
[01:59] <ThunderStruck> i think wine on 64 needs chroot
[01:59] <voraistos> trukulo: i dont know either: thats why compiing it might help
[02:00] <Luna-Tick> Stay calm :)
[02:00] <voraistos> l4sthUnt: why do u need wine ?
[02:00] <erider> if I can't get slime is there lispworks in the respository?
[02:00] <l4sthUnt> E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
[02:00] <l4sthUnt> i get that error
[02:00] <trukulo> l4sthUnt, http://porg.es/blog/wine-on-ubuntu-with-amd64
[02:00] <ThunderStruck> !info lispworks
[02:00] <ubotu> Package lispworks does not exist in dapper
[02:00] <ThunderStruck> erider: no
[02:01] <l4sthUnt> i need it to run a small app
[02:01] <s_spiff> !lisp
[02:01] <ubotu> I know nothing about lisp - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:01] <l4sthUnt> i tryed
[02:01] <l4sthUnt> http://porg.es/blog/wine-on-ubuntu-with-amd64
[02:01] <l4sthUnt> didn't work
[02:01] <longwave> lispworks is commercial software i think, so it won't be in the ubuntu repository
[02:01] <jonh_wendell> does anybody know how to keep the ubuntu server always up to date? like an apt-get update, upgrade each 6 hours, for example?
[02:01] <voraistos> l4sthUnt: the thing is u might not need wine. Things often already exist for linux
[02:01] <wonkydonk> hello
[02:02] <Luna-Tick> I can't see any packages of wine for AMD64... which suggests that it may not work.
[02:02] <l4sthUnt> i can't stop using linux
[02:02] <l4sthUnt> i mean
[02:02] <l4sthUnt> windows
[02:02] <nemlah> quick question
[02:02] <l4sthUnt> i have an external
[02:02] <l4sthUnt> that i se
[02:02] <l4sthUnt> use
[02:02] <longwave> jonh_wendell: cron-apt can automatically run updates for you, though i prefer to know what packages are being updated before they are installed
[02:02] <jrib> l4sthUnt: you could use the i386 version of ubuntu
[02:02] <nemlah> is linux using swap space only after all ram is depleated??
[02:02] <l4sthUnt> didn't work
[02:02] <l4sthUnt> tryed it
[02:02] <trukulo> jonh_wendell, put it on cron
[02:02] <l4sthUnt> wouldn't let me install the .deb
[02:02] <Luna-Tick> What are you wanting to run?
[02:02] <jrib> l4sthUnt: no, I mean actually reinstall your system with the i386 install
[02:02] <l4sthUnt> fserit
[02:02] <Luna-Tick> (which windows app)
[02:03] <voraistos> l4sthUnt: quite  strange
[02:03] <longwave> nemlah: not always, linux might swap something out if you haven't used it for a long time even if there is free ram
[02:03] <longwave> nemlah: then it can reuse the ram for something more useful like disk caching
[02:03] <jonh_wendell> hummm, i'll study cron-apt package
[02:03] <nemlah> so i shouldn't worry about swap used=0?
[02:03] <Talisker> how do I play midi files?
[02:03] <jrib> !midi
[02:03] <ubotu> Trouble playing midi files? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[02:04] <voraistos> l4sthUnt: im sorry i am busy right now. please paste bin the errors u get and stuff and ask smo for help :)
[02:04] <nemlah> longwave: you know anything about the xorg memory leak?
[02:04] <longwave> nemlah: no, as long as "free" shows the swap space is available, it's fine
[02:04] <longwave> nemlah: no, sorry
[02:04] <tuxtux> please help for reader mmc to laptop hp?
[02:04] <Luna-Tick> Sorry guys, I have to take off. Good luck all.
[02:04] <longwave> tuxtux: i have an hp laptop and the card reader does not work at all for me, i am not sure if there is any way of making it work
[02:04] <codecaine> how you remove a package with apt?
[02:05] <jrib> codecaine: apt-get remove package
[02:05] <codecaine> ty
[02:05] <nemlah> longwave: thanks
[02:05] <wonkydonk> is there a known problem with ubuntu and flash ??

[02:05] <jrib> wonkydonk: there is probably more than one

[02:05] <wonkydonk> not reallly it was working fine in my install of suse10.1
[02:06] <l4sthUnt> it should be easier
[02:06] <daisuke> windows can be just as hard
[02:06] <jrib> wonkydonk: what problem?
[02:06] <trukulo> wonkydonk, yes, but only version 7

[02:12] <_d4vid> <use edgy

[02:12] <_d4vid> dont work after upgrade to edgy from dapper..
[02:12] <upsi> gsfonts and gsfonts-x11
[02:12] <wonkydonk> i'm new how i do that
[02:12] <trukulo> _d4vid, edgy is VERY unstable
[02:13] <jrib> !fonts-also
[02:13] <ubotu> fonts-also is No fonts in flash? Install msttcorefonts, gsfonts, and gsfonts-x11 , No fonts in mplayer? see !mplayer
[02:13] <trukulo> right, upsi
[02:13] <ThunderStruck> _d4vid: edgy should not be used and talk about edgy join #ubuntu+1
[02:13] <_d4vid> ThunderStruck, thnx man
[02:16] <MrErnst> Can anyone help me with GD module for php5, it has to do with truetype support, does it differ from windows/apache?
[02:16] <MrErnst> Can that have anything to do with ubuntu font libs?
[02:16] <trukulo> MrErnst: no, that i know
[02:16] <Phazeman> did anyone ever used Minolta Scan Elite II on ubuntu ? i cant seem to be able configuring it to be recognized by sane
[02:16] <trukulo> ubuntu can use truetype too
[02:17] <cotroler> How do you install .deb files in kubuntu?
[02:17] <trukulo> cotroler, sudo dpkg -i file
[02:17] <ThunderStruck> cotroler: dpkg -i file.deb
[02:17] <cotroler> tnx
[02:17] <MrErnst> yes, but i use truetype fonts with php, on a windows server it renders great, but on linux/ubu it doesn't render some of the fonts
[02:18] <trukulo> MrErnst, are the fonts installed on that linux?
[02:19] <MrErnst> no, i call them with php from a folder, some fonts work some don't
[02:19] <tuxtux> bye bye
[02:19] <trukulo> MrErnst, try to install on /usr/share/fonts also
[02:20] <MrErnst> ok, i will but why?
[02:21] <naylor> does anyone know if this modem will work with ubuntu as having lots of winmodem probs and want a modem taht will "just work" so want to buy another cheap internal one
[02:21] <naylor> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/56k-PCI-Internal-Fax-Modem-V-92-V-90-56-K-Brand-New-MOD_W0QQitemZ160009653819QQihZ006QQcategoryZ3693QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
[02:21] <trukulo> MrErnst, don't know, just in case php is looking there
[02:21] <naylor> it says it's linux compatible but i don't trust what ppl put on ebay
[02:22] <naylor> also i don't get whether drivers need installing or not and if they do i'd rather get a modem that will work without having to configure anything or install drivers incase it doesn't work

[02:25] <MrErnst> i know it works, but the font only renders in squares...
[02:25] <erider> how do you remove something from sources.list?
[02:25] <ic56> naylor: winmodems (which generally cost <$20) do not come with drivers for Linux.  A small company is developing drivers for Linux for them but they are closed source and for-pay (not expensive, though).  Modems that will just work, cost >
[02:26] <MrErnst> i think it has to do with font mapping, and how linux/ubu handles that...
[02:26] <ic56> naylor: cost >$100
[02:26] <naylor> ic56, how much? would i be able to get one second hand someplace that will work without trouble, i'm sick of trouble and messing as this system is for someone else and it's all setup but they insist on dialup!!

[02:28] <frogzoo> nilesh892003: amarok - & all the rest as well
[02:28] <codecaine> mplayer
[02:29] <sananeee__> maybe that's coz of grub..
[02:29] <CokeNCode> can anyone help me out ?
[02:29] <nilesh892003> how to download mplayer for ubuntu
[02:29] <sananeee__> is grub workin rite ?
[02:29] <sananeee__> and was that your first reboot ?
[02:29] <offs> basically all graphical multimedia players...
[02:29] <codecaine> sudo apt-get install mplayer
[02:29] <Navop> i'm not sure, and yes it was ..let me power up the comp
[02:29] <nilesh892003> its doent works
[02:29] <ic56> naylor: I seem to recall $20 for a driver.  But, bear in mind, drivers are only available for some modems, and eat about 1M of RAM.  The easiest way to tell a modem that doesn't need a driver is to get an external one: anything that connects though a serial port necessarily contains all the logic in its own electronics.
[02:29] <offs> nilesh892003, install automatix
[02:29] <nilesh892003> sudo apt-get mplayer says that file is moved
[02:30] <nilesh892003> k
[02:30] <erider> how do you remove something from sources.list?
[02:30] <naylor> ic56, thanks - that's a real bummer!
[02:30] <sananeee__> i think thats coz of grub problem.. coz when you first reboot .. grub will be activated.. i dont think that's about screen resolution ..
[02:30] <frogzoo> erider: text editor
[02:30] <frogzoo> erider: or remove it from synaptic's repos
[02:31] <erider> frogzoo: it is read-only
[02:31] <ic56> naylor: btw, the demo drivers can be downloaded for free.  So you can test out the basic functionality
[02:31] <erider> frogzoo: there is an error and its not in the list
[02:31] <frogzoo> erider: sudo - or synaptic
[02:31] <Navop> K i get the grub menu...but once i select ubuntu server it goes blank
[02:32] <erider> frogzoo: I'm in synaptic but the line I want to remove is not present
[02:32] <naylor> ic56, thanks i'll give it a shot
[02:32] <ic56> naylor: yw
[02:32] <frogzoo> erider: so use a text editor
[02:33] <Moshulescu> salutare
[02:33] <erider> frogzoo: its read-only
[02:33] <sananeee__> i see.. i m not sure about it .. but i think you can boot your machine with live cd .. then you can change the resolution settings.
[02:33] <trukulo> erider, sudo gedit /foo/bar
[02:33] <erider> trukulo: ok thanks :)
[02:33] <trukulo> np

[02:43] <Hit3k> lhds, sudo passwd root
[02:43] <Hit3k> if you really want to se the password
[02:43] <trukulo> don't use su
[02:43] <trukulo> use sudo instead

[03:01] <Ignite_> lhds, tvtime
[03:01] <mAlmEN> Bad argument `w/'
[03:01] <mAlmEN> Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
[03:01] <lhds> Ignite is there a way to get it? where from ?
[03:01] <lhds> ! cups

[03:02] <lhds> Ignite isnt there a list of software to check and download from ?
[03:02] <lhds> like in mandrake?
[03:02] <Ignite_> lhds, yes
[03:02] <Ignite_> lhds, Applications -> Add/Remove...

[03:03] <Ignite_> nilesh892003, are you connected via a router?
[03:03] <fistandantilus> you have iptables by default blocking incoming connections, install firestarter and open the port
[03:03] <nilesh892003> no i have direct connection'

[03:04] <jakobjs> what kernel should i use for AMD X2? and which repository? i only see some old linux-image-k7 things :/
[03:04] <soccio> Hi, everybody. Why after changing my partitions (I added a partition) Nautilus is no more showing all my partitions?
[03:05] <lhds> how to know the x version i am running?
[03:05] <jakobjs> lhds: Xorg -version   in console probably
[03:05] <elesouef> Hello, is there a way to load a firmware without having to recompile the ubuntu kernel ?
[03:05] <lhds> Couldn't find package tvtime
[03:05] <jakobjs> lhds: yup that works for me jjs@itchy:~$ Xorg -version
[03:05] <jakobjs> X Window System Version 7.0.0
[03:06] <lhds> it worked jakbo
[03:07] <jakobjs> what kernel should I use for AMD64 X2 ? i'm also missing any "amd64" kernels from apt
[03:07] <SonicChao> Is firefox <IP_ADDRESS> in the repos yet?
[03:07] <XplOzIon> how can i make another partition where /home/ is? after ubuntu has been isntalled. /home/ has 160Gb and i want to make a new partition of 100Gb.
[03:07] <jakobjs> soniccho: yup, it updated for me this morning
[03:07] <lhds> Couldn't find package tvtime where to find tvtime than? can i download a debian version if i find one?
[03:07] <Gambit-> Hey chaps
[03:07] <XplOzIon> SonicChao, yes it is
[03:07] <SonicChao> jakobjs: Ok thanks.
[03:07] <Gambit-> any tricks to restart a USB bus?
[03:08] <Gambit-> I have a device on it (a printer) and it seems to have hung, or at least isn't responding anymore.
[03:08] <Ignite_> lhds, open Applications -> Add/Remove... and in one of the menus you will find something relating to repositories, enable the "universe" repository
[03:08] <soccio> Gambit: try with "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart" it will restart also the hal
[03:08] <longwave> Gambit-: you can try unloading and reloading the modules ("rmmod" and "modprobe") but i have had to reboot to fix a non-working usb stack before now
[03:08] <lhds> Ignite_ tryin
[03:08] <Ignite_> lhds, ok
[03:09] <Gambit-> soccio, is that going to bring down the network layer as well?
[03:09] <Ignite_> lhds, after that you should be able to find tvtime in the graphical program <3
[03:09] <lhds> Ignite_ what do you mean i get a list of related topics like internet office other etc etc and no menu
[03:10] <lhds> in add remove
[03:10] <soccio> Gambit, it will restart only minor services like dhcp client and NetworkManager. You don't need them if you are already connected.
[03:11] <Ignite_> lhds, try System -> Administration -> Synaptic
[03:11] <lhds> Ignite_ found it its in synaptic not in add remove
[03:11] <lhds> thanx man ill update the list and try
[03:11] <Ignite_> lhds, sorry, i'm not completely sure off the top of my head, i'm using kubuntu at the minute :)
[03:11] <Ignite_> :D
[03:12] <Gambit-> longwave, Hm, I just get USB printer is busy messages from CUPS :/
[03:12] <Ignite_> Gambit-, what printer is it?
[03:12] <Gambit-> Ignite_, HP LaserJet 1320
[03:12] <Ignite_> ah, sorry, can't help
[03:12] <Gambit-> soccio, that actually errored out with a 'messagebus' not found.
[03:12] <Gambit-> Ignite_, It's had problems pretty consistently over usb, doesn't stay up for very long, etc.
[03:13] <Ignite_> ah
[03:13] <Gambit-> it shows up as 'Hewlett-Packard' if I lsusb, but seems to hang fairly often.
[03:13] <lhds> Ignite_ good job keep the spirit and if your somuch into helpin come over to lebanon help us here :P
[03:13] <Ignite_> lhds, your in lebanon?

[03:19] <santa99> how can i remove a user which a have added with useradd
[03:19] <lhds> roger that
[03:19] <neutrinomass> santa99: userdel ?
[03:19] <Geert> When trying to install syslog-ng it wants to remove "ubuntu-base ubuntu-minimal". Is it save to continue?
[03:20] <santa99> neutrinomass, thx this was it thx
[03:20] <neutrinomass> santa99: Or if you prefer a GUI, System->Administration-> Users and Groups :)
[03:20] <santa99> neutrinomass, yeah maybe this would be a little better :)
[03:21] <orbin> Geert: read their package descrs.
[03:21] <neutrinomass> Geert: It should be. It's not terribly recommended though as things may break during upgrades ... (AFAIK They are just metapackages )
[03:21] <Ignite_> Geert, its safe to remove ubuntu-minimal.. *checks for ubuntu-base*... yeah thats safe also
[03:21] <longwave> Geert: that is because you will replace sysklogd, which is the standard ubuntu logger
[03:21] <Geert> okay, thanks :)
[03:22] <mezzrricki> Can someone help me with  amounting question?
[03:22] <neutrinomass> mezzrricki: Not unless you ask the question :)
[03:23] <orbin> zing
[03:23] <mezzrricki> Well I'm trying to mount my memory stick reader, and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to add to my fstab
[03:23] <Leeif> i cant download the file listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InitNG#usplash
[03:24] <gatekeeper> mezzrricki: this might help: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/cli.html
[03:24] <Leeif> this one: http://debian.flomertens.keo.in/initng-usplash_1.0-2_i386.deb
[03:24] <Leeif> anyone knows where to get it?
[03:25] <Leeif> or can anyone download it?
[03:25] <mezzrricki> I know the commands I just can't find the mountable device
[03:25] <sladen> maybe that website has disappeared, it would be handy if it was attached rather than linking to somebody's ADSL line
[03:25] <gatekeeper> mezzrricki: your memory stick should automatically be detectected if it's plugged in at boot up
[03:26] <mezzrricki> alright I'll try rebooting
[03:26] <mezzrricki> If I don't come back then thank you.
[03:26] <Leeif> sladen: yes. :(
[03:30] <mezzrricki> I'm back....and it didn't do anything
[03:31] <mezzrricki> the reader it self is built into the laptop
[03:31] <longwave> mezzrricki: on my laptop, the card reader is not supported in ubuntu :(
[03:31] <fistandantilus> nor mine
[03:31] <mezzrricki> hmmmm darn
[03:32] <gatekeeper> hal doesn't work on your laptop longwave?
[03:34] <willmc> whats the command in terminal to change permissions on a dir so its user read/writeable?
[03:34] <longwave> hal works, and if you insert a card there is some output in dmesg, but it cannot mount the card after that :(
[03:34] <longwave> willmc: do you mean for all users, or just the current user
[03:34] <b1shop> anyone know of disk encryption software that supports dual booting?
[03:34] <gatekeeper> that's a bit pants :-(
[03:34] <lhds> how to run a scan in tvtime to see if it has seen the correct card and its working?
[03:35] <Zildjian> im a newb and would like to know what the best help site for ubuntu
[03:35] <longwave> Zildjian: the official wiki and forums are pretty good
[03:35] <Zildjian> cool thanks alot
[03:35] <willmc> Zildjian: the forums!
[03:35] <longwave> and of course you can ask here if you are having a specific problem :)
[03:35] <lhds> Zildjian sincerely man have tried em all i think that ubuntu is a very respectable distro better than the ex mandrake
[03:36] <gatekeeper> Zildjian: I have also got some usefull links here http://za1012001.googlepages.com/home
[03:36] <willmc> longwave: sorry, just for my username (willmc)

[03:36] <lhds> Zildjian good choice
[03:36] <mezzrricki> is there a full driver for the nvidia 6800 yet
[03:36] <gatekeeper> Zildjian: there is a transition guide on that page I gave you
[03:37] <longwave> willmc: if the directory is owned by willmc, then "chmod o+rw directoryname"
[03:37] <longwave> oops
[03:37] <longwave> that should be "chmod u+rw directoryname"
[03:37] <longwave> "o+rw" means anyone can read/write
[03:37] <Hotwire> hi, how would i go about working out what driver my usb wireless network adapter uses, i need to find out if it uses ndiswrapper or has a real driver, and if it has a real driver what kernel module it uses and what its called

[03:37] <willmc> longwave: basically, I just installed google earth from the bin file with sudo to /opt/google-earth and want to own the dir so I can change it ets/and that it will save my prefs
[03:38] <lhds> guys here in lebanon cables are distributed to home via tv wires .... how to run scan channel in tvtime?
[03:38] <linrunix> theHat, ***
[03:38] <ardchoille> theHat: Please respect this channel and its users
[03:38] <longwave> willmc: "sudo chown -R willmc /opt/google-earth" will set all files and folders in there to be owned by you
[03:38] <theHat> linrunix: :*********
[03:38] <linrunix> ardchoille, what are you saying?
[03:38] <theHat> ardchoille: ou shure m3n, so plz rlz for my error
[03:39] <longwave> willmc: you will probably have read/write privileges after that and won't need the chmod command
[03:39] <theHat> linrunix: what`s up m3n ?
[03:39] <linrunix> ardchoille, i got a problem
[03:39] <linrunix> thansen, chilling
[03:39] <willmc> longwave: thanks!!!
[03:39] <linrunix> theHat, chilling
[03:39] <linrunix> ardchoille, any help?
[03:39] <theHat> linrunix: tell me the truth
[03:40] <colic> a
[03:40] <SebastianB> Hi! I just tried to install Ubuntu on my laptop several times. It always stops after "Booting the Kernel" at the very beginning. Installing on my desktop-system with the same dvd worked
[03:40] <theHat> imbrandon: hey`a!, what`s up ?
[03:40] <longwave> SebastianB: what laptop?
[03:40] <SebastianB> acer 1690
[03:41] <theHat> SebastianB: u have to change it, use gnu/linux, use slackware ;)
[03:41] <linrunix> theHat, whatis the truth
[03:41] <imbrandon> hello theHat
[03:41] <theHat> linrunix: i have no puta idea :S
[03:41] <SebastianB> no idea what you're talking about ;)
[03:41] <ardchoille> SebastianB: Which install cd are you using?  I use acx based card and acx driver. During boot acx firstly try to load tiacxC0D firmware which doesn't exists. So it shows: firmware_helper: main: error loading /lib/firmware/2.6.15-23-386/acx/default/tiacxc0D for device /class/firmware/xxx with driver 'acx_pci'
[03:43] <erUSUL> SebastianB: use the alternate and at the boot promt type acpi=off (e.g. boot: acpi=off <enter>)
[03:44] <yacek19> this is very annoying
[03:44] <lhds> tvtime supports a channel scanner, channel renumbering, channel names, and a list of active channels for browsing.  All of these features are available within the OSD menu system itself. it says but where is that osd menu?
[03:44] <linrunix> ardchoille, are you gay or something like that
[03:44] <imbrandon> dont make me do it again linrunix
[03:44] <SebastianB> erUSUL, thx, I will try it :)
[03:44] <ardchoille> imbrandon: Thank you :)
[03:45] <orbin> can't they just change their nick?
[03:45] <gatekeeper> imbrandon: I thought you where only threatening :-)
[03:46] <colic> someone here have a macbook pro with ubuntu?
[03:46] <Seveas> imbrandon, *prod*
[03:46] <imbrandon> kk
[03:46] <imbrandon> gotta run Seveas all yours ;)
[03:49] <Pinch> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Administrator_Appreciation_Day
[03:50] <LTjake> howdy. is there any reason why dapper has apache tomcat 5.0 rather than 5.5?
[03:50] <imbrandon> heh
[03:50] <Krpano> can someone help me ?.....i set to "show visible volumes" in gconf-editor and the wanted volumes are mounted, but they wont appear on the desktop...anyone know why ?
[03:51] <santa99> is there a GUI to adjust samba ?
[03:51] <longwave> santa99: check out the "swat" package
[03:51] <santa99> longwave: will have a look on it thx
[03:52] <Boris^Britva> hello, how can I remote administrate my ubuntu server? ssh only?
[03:52] <orbin> Krpano: what are their mountpoints?
[03:52] <santa99> longwave, how can i open the swat package in my browser
[03:52] <Krpano> orbin : /mnt/sda1 and /mnt/hda1.......i can browse them.but they wont show on the desktop
[03:53] <gatekeeper> santa99: in KDE you can modify File Sharing in System Settings, assume gnome also does that
[03:53] <santa99> gatekeeper, so I was unable to find something suitable
[03:54] <drbreen> how can i make the trash bin to show up on desktop in ubuntu dapper ?
[03:54] <ompaul> hmm
[03:54] <Krpano> drbreen: usa gconf-editor
[03:54] <Krpano> use*
[03:54] <gatekeeper> Boris^Britva: do you want to know how to install or use ssh?
[03:55] <drbreen> krpano: where is the scheme or key for that
[03:55] <drbreen> ?
[03:55] <Krpano> Apps/Nautilus/Desktop
[03:55] <drbreen> tank you
[03:55] <drbreen> thanx
[03:55] <Krpano> :)
[03:55] <Boris^Britva> gatekeeper, I haven't installed ubuntu yet even
[03:55] <Boris^Britva> I lack experience in using linux
[03:55] <Boris^Britva> is there something like radmin in linux?
[03:56] <Boris^Britva> need to set-up the server, but I won't be able to access it manualy every day
[03:56] <LTjake> anyone know why Terminal Server Client (tsclient) doesn't save passwords?
[03:56] <lhds> whats the code if i want to download a software from the terminal
[03:56] <gatekeeper> Boris^Britva: install ubuntu then take a look at this: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#SSH_Server
[03:57] <WhiteNinja> lhds: apt-get install package-name
[03:57] <santa99> longwave, how can i manage to open swat with firefox
[03:57] <gatekeeper> Boris^Britva: have you used linux before?
[03:57] <longwave> santa99: try http://localhost:901/
[03:57] <santa99> longwave, unable to connect
[03:57] <Boris^Britva> gatekeeper, sure
[03:57] <santa99> longwave, any ideas what's wrong
[03:58] <Boris^Britva> used a lot of it, but used it as desktop
[03:58] <Boris^Britva> suse @ gnome mainly
[03:58] <Boris^Britva> never used it like server
[03:58] <longwave> santa99: i do not have swat running at the moment so can't help that much, this forum link might be useful though: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=58434
[03:58] <santa99> longwave, ok thx will have a link trough it
[03:58] <gatekeeper> Boris^Britva: there is a Windows to Linux transition guide + other bits: http://za1012001.googlepages.com/home
[03:59] <WhiteNinja> Boris^Britva: u can setup the server, install vnc-server/client and u can do remote-access via laptop or desktop, if that it is, what u want
[03:59] <lhds> other than tvtime witch i dont know how to search channels in it what other software makes my tv card run?
[03:59] <orbin> Krpano: i'm not sure, but i think they either have to be mounted in /media , or it has to have some 'user' option given when mounted
[03:59] <Boris^Britva> gatekeeper, yes, thanks
[03:59] <Boris^Britva> WhiteNinja, yes this is I was thinking about
[03:59] <azcazandco> mcphail: are you about?
[04:00] <gatekeeper> Boris^Britva: hope it helps :-)
[04:00] <Boris^Britva> the only thing - I need to install graphic interface to server machine?
[04:00] <Krpano> orbin: im checking this out......ill try to mount under /media/something to test...wait
[04:00] <WhiteNinja> not realy
[04:00] <WhiteNinja> the vnc-client had to have x11
[04:00] <WhiteNinja> not the server
[04:00] <Boris^Britva> as I see ubuntu-server doesn't include graphical interface
[04:01] <WhiteNinja> but it would help if u sometimes can start x11 on the server, too, if u r not used to linux :-)
[04:01] <WhiteNinja> x11 is a package.. not needed, but could be installed on servers, too
[04:02] <longwave> Boris^Britva: if you are comfortable with only the command line, you should just use ssh to connect to your server
[04:02] <azcazandco> anyone here used phtorec before?
[04:02] <azcazandco> photorec even
[04:02] <puppet> boris^britva: you dont need x on a server
[04:02] <Boris^Britva> longwave, this is the problem - I'm not comfortable with cmd only :)
[04:02] <Boris^Britva> puppet, this is nice, ty :)
[04:03] <pike_> Boris^Britva: i would look at freenx as alternative to vnc.  vnc is good on lan but internet can be a little slow
[04:03] <sarah> salut
[04:03] <WhiteNinja> then install the x11-package, u dont have to start it automatically at reboot-times... u can do remote-access nevertheless with vnc or ssh
[04:03] <miano> sarah, salut
[04:03] <ardchoille> Boris^Britva: Do what I did, set aside an hour per day to use only cli and read some man pages. After a while, you'll be so comfy in it that it might be all you use :)
[04:04] <amine> oui
[04:04] <amine> comment ca va,
[04:04] <amine> je suis du maroc et toi
[04:04] <lhds> other than tvtime witch i dont know how to search channels in it what other software makes my tv card run?
[04:04] <Boris^Britva> ardchoille, time will be needed for that :) And I've got none atm
[04:04] <miano> je suis kenyan
[04:04] <ardchoille> This is an English channel :)
[04:04] <amine> y a t il des filles par ici
[04:05] <yacek19> how to turn off pc speaker in ubuntu?
[04:05] <ardchoille> !fr
[04:05] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[04:05] <Boris^Britva> well I see what I can do, don't think that setting up a simple httpd+php+mysql will be a big problem
[04:05] <merlander> hi - is there an ubuntu ppc channel?
[04:05] <sl021> lol
[04:06] <orbin> yacek19: try sys > prefs > sound
[04:06] <amine> ravi de faire ta connaissance
[04:06] <amine> quoi de neuf sur le net
[04:06] <Boris^Britva> pike_, freenx is not included to standart install iso, right? ^^
[04:07] <ardchoille> amine: You might be able to get help with an issue if you speak English
[04:07] <yacek19> orbin and how to turn it off system-wide?
[04:07] <snoops> Boris^Britva right
[04:07] <zsh> amine, allez #ubuntu-fr, la discussion ici est en anglais
[04:07] <amine> ok
[04:07] <amine> thank you
[04:07] <dr_willis> !freenx
[04:07] <ubotu> freenx is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeNX
[04:07] <pike_> Boris^Britva: right. you can look at it at wiki.ubuntu.com. main thing for a server is ssh access
[04:07] <kobbi> i'm trying to install the amd64 kernel, but it's missing from Base System-Restricted section in Synaptic... what should i do ???
[04:07] <orbin> yacek19: sorry, meaning?
[04:07] <yacek19> it turned it off onlyin gnome
[04:08] <Boris^Britva> found it @ http://freenx.berlios.de/download.php
[04:08] <yacek19> and it still beeps in pure terminal
[04:08] <Concord_Dawn> Hi everyone. I recently installed Hoary on a Dell Latitude D610, only to find that GDM refused to display (as in, the screen didn't work), however, I was able to use the command line. Does anyone know if this is fixed with the GDM version included in Dapper?
[04:08] <pike_> Boris^Britva: the wiki has instructions specific to ubuntu
[04:09] <Concord_Dawn> !package
[04:09] <ubotu> I know nothing about package - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:09] <Concord_Dawn> !help
[04:09] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[04:09] <orbin> yacek19: quick google came up w/ : setterm -blength 0
[04:09] <ardchoille> Concord_Dawn: I haven't had any problems with GDM in Dapper.
[04:09] <Concord_Dawn> ardchoille: Are you using a Dell Latitude D610?
[04:09] <ardchoille> Concord_Dawn: Oh, no, sorry about that.
[04:09] <WhiteNinja> Concord_Dawn: sometimes xserver-xorg cant handle tft-monitors in the right way.. try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg manually... mostly it helps
[04:09] <orbin> yacek19: and for X11: 'xset b off' ... that will work for every DE, not just gnome
[04:10] <pike_> Boris^Britva: if its your first time with linux i would at least put xubuntu on it for gui
[04:10] <Concord_Dawn> WhiteNinja: Thanks, but I thought that laptops had LCD screens?
[04:10] <Sh4d0w> hi is there anyone using a soundblaster audigy 4 ? i like to buy this card but i am not sure if it is supported by ubuntu i onyl find infos to audigy 2
[04:10] <WhiteNinja> y... i meant them *laughing
[04:11] <WhiteNinja> sorry.. no native english-ppl
[04:11] <Boris^Britva> pike_, not with linux
[04:11] <Concord_Dawn> ok. Thanks. After it's done installing Windows for dual-boot I'll try it.
[04:11] <Boris^Britva> first time with remote administrating
[04:11] <Boris^Britva> and setting up server
[04:11] <lhds> does kde software runs on gnome? kdetv for ex
[04:11] <Boris^Britva> I have suse now as a 2nd os
[04:11] <Concord_Dawn> lhds: Possibly. I think you can find a program that will let you run KDE stuff on Gnome.
[04:12] <Boris^Britva> I'll setup ubuntu, so I can administrate freely
[04:12] <ardchoille> lhds: I haven't seen a kde app that won't run in gnome
[04:12] <phenex> lhds, as long as you have QT and the needed kde packages sure...
[04:12] <snoops> yeah..but the kdelibs are required to run kde software...it will work on gnome though lhds
[04:12] <Concord_Dawn> lhds: You'll basically have KDE and Gnome installed together. It's got a rather large overhead.
[04:12] <WhiteNinja> Boris^Britva: the easiest way would be a setup with knoppix-live-dvd... the hardware-detection would be the best for every linux (my opinion) and u can do all
[04:12] <pike_> Boris^Britva: ah
[04:13] <tengil> umm i tried installing flash for firefox/mozilla with no luck. says Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported. can i get flash reader for firefox with this architechture?
[04:13] <Concord_Dawn> tengil: You looked in the wiki?
[04:14] <tengil> i guess i didnt sorry
[04:14] <brentc> anyone use root-tail ?
[04:14] <WhiteNinja> installing flash is like eating children :-)
[04:14] <tengil> WhiteNinja: i kinda agree. but a few pages has it that i want to read
[04:14] <NineTeen67Comet> Hi all .. has anyone designed an app that can rotate desktop background images? My cheap LCD monitor burns in SOo fast .. I think that might help (dual monitors, xgl, xinerama, CRT/LCD) ..
[04:15] <tengil> T
[04:15] <dswillia74437> what is the easiest way of installing PEAR on dapper?
[04:15] <lhds> is there a way to auto uncheck the list in software updates and than reselect the packages to install? or do i have to go through all of the list?
[04:15] <WhiteNinja> NineTeen67Comet: kde or xfce has a feature build-in for that purpose
[04:15] <WhiteNinja> just look for background-settings
[04:15] <longwave> dswillia74437: install the php4-pear package?
[04:15] <NineTeen67Comet> WhiteNinja: Know if Gnome's got it?
[04:16] <klees> can i rip cd's in MP3 VBR format with grip?
[04:16] <lhds> this is one of the channels where the ? is the most typed letter
[04:16] <b1shop> man.  the gnome battery applet needs an update
[04:16] <b1shop> it's WAY off
[04:16] <WhiteNinja> gnome hasnt it (so far i know), it looks to be for working ppl :-)
[04:16] <merlander_> hi - having problems with hfsplus partition - whatever I set in fstab it's being mounted with its own permissions - suggestions of file_umask etc. in FAQ give bad option errors
[04:16] <santa99> how can i list up the users which are registrated in samba ?
[04:16] <sl021> lolz
[04:16] <Concord_Dawn> dswillia74437: PEAR for PHP?
[04:17] <Concord_Dawn> lhds: What do you mean?
[04:17] <Concord_Dawn> Like reinstall all the software that you updated?
[04:17] <Jaykul> Hey, I just finished an install of 6.06 server ... and apt-get seems to just stall at "Working[0%] " ... I checked that I can ssh and browse out, so I'm a bit confused what's going on.  Any ideas?
[04:17] <ardchoille> klees: You can use grip to rip a music CD to mp3 files, but you need to install lame. I'm not sure what VBR means
[04:18] <Concord_Dawn> Jaykul: Switch mirrors?
[04:18] <tengil> Concord_Dawn: is it this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava?highlight=%28flash%29
[04:18] <b1shop> Variable Bit Rate
[04:18] <klees> MPEG 1 Layer 3 VBR
[04:18] <Concord_Dawn> ardchoille: Variable Bit Rate
[04:18] <ardchoille> Ahh
[04:18] <Concord_Dawn> meaning that the bitrate is only high when it needs to be.
[04:18] <klees> is that 320?
[04:18] <WhiteNinja> Jaykul: looks like ur network-config is able to reach the internet
[04:18] <ardchoille> Jaykul: Can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin?
[04:18] <pike_> Jaykul: is the cdrom entry in sources.list commented out? doesnt sound like thats it but.. never know
[04:18] <Concord_Dawn> It's the best compromise between filesize and quality.
[04:18] <nalioth> ardchoille: VBR = Variable Bit Rate.  means that for when there is much music or sound, there is lots of data and during silence there is little data
[04:19] <s_spiff> can gnome themes be discussed here?
[04:19] <longwave> klees: in VBR the bitrate changes all the time between 64 and 320, so there's no wasted space but high quality at the same time
[04:19] <ardchoille> nalioth: That's great.. I'm glad someone thought of it
[04:19] <klees> ok
[04:19] <klees> how can i rip/encode in VBR?
[04:19] <nalioth> ardchoille: as opposed to the static bit rate, which uses the same amount of data for silence or crescendo
[04:19] <Jaykul> ardchoille / Concord_Dawn: ok, i'm gonna try changing sources ... but I gotta run down the other room, 'cause what I'm trying to apt-get install is openssh-server ;-p
[04:19] <Concord_Dawn> tengil: That's it I think. Try it. You can always reverse the changes later.
[04:20] <snoops> I'm looking for a file browser which lets me view the contents of as many folders as I want in one view? eg instead of the list just displaying what's in /home/user/stuff it displays that and /home/user/otherstuff?
[04:20] <ardchoille> nalioth: Ahh
[04:20] <whaley_work> s_spiff: perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:20] <Concord_Dawn> snoops: terminal :-P
[04:20] <longwave> klees: depends on what you are using to rip and encode, in lame there are command line options to set VBR, read the documentation
[04:20] <Concord_Dawn> klees: Check the wiki. The wiki knows EVERYTHING.
[04:20] <klees> longwave: im using grip
[04:20] <snoops> hmm how can I do that in terminal Concord_Dawn?
[04:21] <sproingie> snoops: i know of none that would do that and i've tried many file managers.  how about using two file manager windows?
[04:21] <Concord_Dawn> snoops: pass a bunch of different directories to the ls command (iirc)
[04:21] <drasko> how to see on which machine and disc is some directory?
[04:21] <Concord_Dawn> drasko: grep or locate
[04:21] <longwave> klees: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183125 has instructions
[04:21] <s_spiff> whaley, ok np.. will check it out
[04:21] <sproingie> snoops: unless you're looking for some kind of norton commander type thing, in which case there's a lot
[04:21] <snoops> sproingie I'm wanting to view the contents of 6 directories..opening 6 file browsing windows then having to search through each to find the file I want is a bit heh
[04:21] <klees> thx guys
[04:22] <santa99> which program would you suggest to use for cutting movies from a DV-Cam
[04:22] <sproingie> snoops: i'm not sure how you propose to view all 6 at once without at least multiple windows or panes
[04:22] <Concord_Dawn> snoops: grep!!!
[04:22] <drasko> Concord_Dawn: grep what? Can you give an example?
[04:22] <sproingie> snoops: konqueror will let you have as many independent panes as you want
[04:22] <Concord_Dawn> drasko: grep --help will help you
[04:22] <ardchoille> snoops: You might see if something like gnome commander has a tabbed ui
[04:23] <drasko> Concord_Dawn: I ment the example of grepping for dir.
[04:23] <longwave> drasko: if you know the filename or even part of the filename, just do "locate filename" and it will list all places that filename matches
[04:23] <Concord_Dawn> drasko: search through grep --help. It's in there.
[04:23] <sproingie> drasko: unless you're looking for a file by its thumbnail image, you probably don't want a gui file manager to track down a file in unknown locations
[04:23] <snoops> sproingie well for instance in nautilus when I click search it has a new coloured pane for allowing me to filter by filetype.. I can click the + sign and select another directory.. do that a few tiems to add a few directories..but it only searches the last directory added
[04:23] <sproingie> drasko: try beagle, and add the search bar to your gnome panel
[04:24] <drbreen_> sproingie: how exactly can i get the search bar to work with beagle ?
[04:24] <drbreen_> i apt-get install beagle and then ?
[04:24] <Concord_Dawn> I've noticed that Linux has lost a lot of it's command line roots and switched over to the more GUIy (read: gooey) side of things. Probably from all the Windows users fed up with Windows.
[04:24] <Ng> Concord_Dawn: it's lost nothing, open a terminal and do whatever you want
[04:24] <drbreen_> concord_dawn: probably because sometimes its easier ?
