[03:33] <ardchoille> kingwolf: You might untar that tarball, retrieve the author's email address and contact him/her
[03:34] <kingwolf> ardchoille, Hmm, -every- one I DL'd isn't opening.  Even the tar.bz2
[03:34] <drbreen> is there a repository for the gimme panel ?
[03:34] <scrappy_> tin_nqn: they will just be deb files so after download sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[03:34] <drbreen> or a deb file ?
[03:34] <Ares> Fiveiron, you getting any of my messages?
[03:34] <DanaG> How does lsmod work?
[03:35] <tin_nqn> scrappy_, ok, thanks.
[03:35] <DanaG> Does it show module THEN dependency, or dependency THEN module?
[03:35] <Ares> Fiveiron: Just my luck, you left -,-
[03:35] <scrappy_> tin_nqn: you can also dowload them from packages.ubntu.com i think
[03:35] <DanaG> Is it dependencies or dependants?
[03:35] <Ryan27> Hi everyone, I have a problem installing Ubuntu on my Mac Mini. I need to edit the repo list that was installed onto the hard drive while I'm currently running a chrooted terminal. How do I do this?
[03:35] <ardchoille> kingwolf: you can untar the gdm theme into /usr/share/gdm/themes and then open the gdm theme manager and see if it recognises it. I always just untar them into /usr/share/gdm/themes anyway.
[03:35] <pschulz01> Greetings.. just received my ShipIT CDROM's... a big thankyou.
[03:35] <pschulz01> Ryan27: Old or new MacMini?
[03:35] <Ricesteam> Hi, I accidently removed the "taskbar" from gnome panels and I don't know how to get it back??
[03:36] <drbreen> danag: dependencies
[03:36] <Ryan27> New
[03:36] <Ryan27> Intel Core Solo
[03:36] <DanaG> I get "in use".
[03:36] <fiveiron> Ares, i'm still here... check your msg
[03:36] <drbreen> ardchoille: you know a decent gdm greeter theme xml tutorial ?
[03:36] <Ares> fiveiron: I don't think my messages ever worked in Gaim IRC.
[03:36] <Ares> fiveiron: Sorry =/
[03:36] <fiveiron> oh
[03:36] <drbreen> ricesteam: left click on panel
[03:37] <ardchoille> drbreen: No, sorry. I wish there was a gdm theme designer
[03:37] <fiveiron> Ares, you can just look at the squid docs at http://www.squid.org
[03:37] <bruenig> Ricesteam, did you lose the whole panel or just the task bar part?
[03:37] <drbreen> ricesteam: choose "add stuff" from the menu
[03:37] <DanaG> rmmod speedstep_centrino
[03:37] <DanaG> ERROR: Module speedstep_centrino is in use
[03:37] <drbreen> ardchoille i wish too
[03:37] <Ricesteam> the taskbar
[03:37] <Ricesteam> i thought i was removing a seperator
[03:37] <ardchoille> drbreen: Are you good with xml?
[03:37] <Ricesteam> but i removed the "taskbar"
[03:37] <drbreen> ricesteam: did you kill the whole panel ?
[03:37] <kingwolf> What is the term command for moving a file to another folder?
[03:37] <Ricesteam> no the panel is still there
[03:37] <Ares> fiveiron: Thats the wrong site =P
[03:37] <bruenig> Ricesteam, right click on the panel you want it on where you want it and do add to panel, then windows list i think
[03:38] <drbreen> ardchoille: i suppose no. but i managed to build my gdm theme...
[03:38] <Phenax> kingwolf: mv
[03:38] <Ricesteam> no i dont need window list, i need the taskbar
[03:38] <kingwolf> ardchoille, If permission is denied, how do I change that (access to theme folder)
[03:38] <drbreen> kingwolf: dont change permissions, use sudo
[03:38] <bruenig> Ricesteam, the entire panel, or just that part? I guess an easier way to ask is, how many panels do you have?
[03:38] <ardchoille> drbreen: I just take apart other themes, mix and match, edit the xml file in gedit and repackage. I hear that is what most people do anyway
[03:39] <drbreen> ardchoille: yeah, me too
[03:39] <Ares> fiveiron: Yep, can't find any documentation on what I want to do.
[03:39] <fiveiron> Ares, sorry... http://www.squid-cache.org
[03:39] <ardchoille> kingwolf: use sudo in a term or gksudo nautilus. Please don't change the perms on that folder.
[03:39] <kingwolf> Phenax drbreen , Is there an easy way to move 15 items at once?
[03:39] <Ricesteam> bruenig i have the panel, i just removed a component of the panel by accident, and in my case, i removed teh "taskbar" as I am not sure what is is called in Gnome terms
[03:39] <bruenig> Ricesteam, I refer you to previous post
[03:39] <bruenig> follow that
[03:39] <bruenig> windows list is task bar component
[03:39] <drbreen> kingwolf: yeah it is - hust use the wildcard '*'
[03:39] <Jimbo_> hmm, has anyone built/installed mute on ubuntu?
[03:39] <robert_> blah
[03:39] <robert_> I can't get gbsplay to work
[03:40] <singleton> anyone out there use freenet 0.7? GNU/Nix newbie trying to find his way through some problems...
[03:40] <drbreen> jimbo_: wtf mute ?
[03:40] <DanaG> Is it worthwhile to compile things like yenta-socket into the kernel rather than as modules?
[03:40] <robert_> it wants OSS
[03:40] <Jimbo_> drbreen: it's a p2p app
[03:40] <kingwolf> drbreen, Can I get that written explicitly? :D
[03:40] <fiveiron> Ares, and for more in depth installation of the squidGuard content filter for squid, check out http://www.squidguard.org
[03:40] <drbreen> kingwolf: exactly *what* is your problem ?
[03:41] <fiveiron> i've got it running on my network currently...  very very nice.  all ads pretty much are blocked, and anything else I want blocked
[03:41] <MrWoo> sagarp, there was not file
[03:41] <bruenig> Jimbo_, do you mean mutella or mute?
[03:41] <justin420> hi all. can anybody tell me or show me a good FAQ as reguarding to autostarting say x11vnc on ubuntu dapper? Using gnome? I tried using .gnomerc and it seems to show zombie processes from starting my app using .gnomerc.
[03:41] <MrWoo> sagarp, i check var/log/xserver.0.log and it said no such file or directory existed
[03:41] <drbreen> ardchoille: do you know a lightweight html WYSIWYG / WYSIWYM editor that i could use if i really badly wanted a "gdm greeter designer" ?
[03:41] <Jimbo_> bruenig: mute
[03:41] <sagarp> MrWoo: there's always a file....where did you look? it should be /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:41] <kingwolf> drbreen I have 15 tarballs on my desktop that I need to move to /usr/share/gdm/themes.  But it won't let me move them there without sudo.
[03:42] <MrWoo> sagarp, thats what i checked
[03:42] <Flannel> drbreen: nvu is as lighweiht as they get, I believe.
[03:42] <MrWoo> sagarp, it said it didn't exist
[03:42] <Ares> fiveiron: Thanks for your help, you've been great haha, though, I have absolutely no idea how to do any of this in the next hour. =(
[03:42] <sagarp> MrWoo: it's always there...are you sure you checked in /var/log? or did you forget the first slash, and jsut type var/log ?
[03:42] <Jimbo_> bruenig: it had alot of errors while building. probably to do with wxwidgets, which i can't seem to find a main package for.
[03:42] <Ares> fiveiron: Anyway, thanks and bye.
[03:42] <fiveiron> Ares, are you using ubuntu
[03:42] <willzzz> how do i change my windowmanager back to the gnome default?
[03:42] <fiveiron> ?
[03:42] <MrWoo> sagarp, i'll try again, also it said taht X Server was configured improperly
[03:42] <steve___> can anyone jog my memory a little...  I lost my hdd and installed kubuntu on my dell 700m and now fn+esc doesn't put it to stand by...  i know i had to wrestle with it 8 months ago to get it to work and currently my brain is drawing a blank
[03:43] <drbreen> kingwolf: sudo cp ~/Desktop/*.tar /usr/share/gdm/themes && sudo tar -xzf /usr/share/gdm/themes/*.tar
[03:43] <drbreen> okay ?
[03:43] <MrWoo> sagarp, cause thats helpful to me
[03:43] <DanaG> ... anyone?
[03:43] <bruenig> jimb_, tis what it says on download site Downloading and running this application
[03:43] <bruenig> is just one click away. No need to install!
[03:43] <willzzz> i installed kubuntu-desktop and want gdm back
[03:43] <singleton> anyone know where the .jar file extracts to once I run this...
[03:43] <singleton> wget http://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/installer/new_installer.jar
[03:43] <singleton> java -jar new_installer.jar
[03:43] <sagarp> MrWoo: okay...if you dont want to keep restarting to get back on irc, download irssi...it's a CLI irc client
[03:43] <eyequeue> pschulz01, how long did shipit take for you?
[03:43] <Ares> fiveiron: Yeah?
[03:43] <MrWoo> sagarp, i have no internet once i boot linux
[03:43] <Flannel> MrWoo, sagarp, irssi is already installed
[03:44] <bruenig> jimbo_, nevermind that was a mute client, not mute itself, it was called klik
[03:44] <bruenig> my fault
[03:44] <MrWoo> sagarp, i think ubuntu doesn't like my wireless internet card
[03:44] <sagarp> MrWoo: oh lol never mind then
[03:44] <fiveiron> Ares, you should just be able to do "sudo apt-get install squidguard"  one sec... lemme make sure thats the right package name
[03:44] <drbreen> flannel: nvu doe not seem to be that lightweight.... anything else ?
[03:44] <miguelsr> some one know how to optimizer openoffice?
[03:44] <ardchoille> drbreen: No, I do all xml/html/python/perl editing in vim
[03:44] <sagarp> Flannel: oh yeahi just noticed :P
[03:44] <Flannel> drbreen: "lightweight WYSIWYG" is a contradiction in terms
[03:44] <MrWoo> sagarp, i have a belkin 54g wireless card and when ubuntu was trying to configure dhcp it failed
[03:44] <TheGame> whats a good stickies program
[03:44] <Jimbo_> bruenig: http://mute-net.sourceforge.net/ - the unix source i'm trying to build
[03:44] <Ares> fiveiron: It is it is, I can install it but I just don't have any time to configure it into a proxy filter thing.
[03:44] <kingwolf> drbreen Is that all one command?
[03:44] <drbreen> ardchoille: i use gedit, so i am the noob (:
[03:44] <DanaG> DHCP fails on my WIRED ethernet card too.
[03:45] <Ricesteam_> How do I add a "taskbar" component to my Gnome panels?
[03:45] <kingwolf> drbreen Or is there a break at the second sudo?
[03:45] <drbreen> kingwolf: tear it and take it apart if you dont like it
[03:45] <bruenig> Jimbo_, did you try cd into the directory then running ./runToBuild
[03:45] <fiveiron> Ares, i can get you a site that gives you the like 5-10 steps you need to do.... do you have a sec?
[03:45] <Ares> Sure!
[03:45] <fiveiron> there really isnt much to it
[03:45] <MrWoo> and whats the command for shuting down in linux
[03:45] <miguelsr> some one know how to optimizer openoffice?
[03:45] <drbreen> mrwoo: sudo halt
[03:45] <sagarp> MrWoo: oh, i'm pretty sure that card is usable on linux...so you'll probably have no trouble once you get X...or maybe you want to get internet before X :S
[03:45] <drbreen> miguelsr: disable java vm ?
[03:45] <kingwolf> drbreen cp: cannot stat `/home/kingwolf/Desktop/*.tar': No such file or directory
[03:45] <Jimbo_> bruenig: ye, thats what i ran. loads of errors during build. related to wxwidgets.
[03:46] <bruenig> Ricesteam_, i already told you
[03:46] <drbreen> kingwolf: i assume there is no break b/c of the && operator
[03:46] <MrWoo> why would it be sudo halt, why not sudo shutdown, i guess i'll have to learn
[03:46] <bruenig> Jimbo_, did you try cd Mute (subdirectory in the other one) and then running ./configure
[03:46] <bruenig> MUTE*
[03:46] <drbreen> kingwolf: on your desktop are there tar or tar.gz files ?
[03:46] <fiveiron> Ares, one q, is the computer you're on the only pc connected to the internet?
[03:46] <miguelsr> drbreen : i think not but  i use azureus it will have a problem?
[03:46] <Ares> fiveiron: Correct.
[03:46] <DanaG> init 0
[03:46] <fiveiron> ok
[03:46] <Jimbo_> bruenig: ye, that just asks a couple of questions the same as runtobuild script
[03:46] <Ricesteam_> bruenig: told me what?
[03:46] <Ares> Fiveiron: I only have one pc, this is I. =P
[03:47] <Ricesteam_> bruenig: i got disconnected
[03:47] <bruenig> Ricesteam_, right click on the panel, click add to panel, then go to windows list
[03:47] <drbreen> kingwolf: you said tarballs so i assumed .tar
[03:47] <Ricesteam_> Windowlist is not what I'm looking for
[03:47] <drbreen> miguelsr: as far as i know that makes oo.org a bit less resource hungry
[03:47] <bruenig> Ricesteam_, yes it is unless I am confused as to what a taskbar is
[03:47] <Jimbo_> bruenig: i think the problem lies with wxwidgets. I can't actually find the main package to install it. Is it not in the respos?
[03:47] <Ricesteam_> you know your volume control?
[03:48] <fiveiron> Ares, ok, now this is very important:
[03:48] <Ricesteam_> what is that on?
[03:48] <mytruehero> I'm new to Linux, so if this is a facepalm type of question, feel free to tersely point me to the proper help file or web page. I have an external USB drive. I connected it to my computer, turned the computer on, but I can't find it anywhere in the filesystem. How do I access it? Do I need to mount it manually? If so, how?
[03:48] <bruenig> !info libwxgtk2.6-dev
[03:48] <ubotu> Package libwxgtk26-dev does not exist in dapper
[03:48] <Ricesteam_> I am missing that component...ie gaim goes on that "taskbar"
[03:48] <Ares> fiveiron: Yes?
[03:48] <Ricesteam_> kind of lame..i might have to reinstall ubuntu to get it back...:(
[03:49] <DanaG> WTF is ATM networking?
[03:49] <drbreen> miguelsr: don't think azureas will have a problem - but if you are running other java apps, the java vm s loaded regardless of oo.org using it (?), maybe then disbaling vm in oo.org does NOT help ;)
[03:49] <ardchoille> kingwolf: use /home/kingwolf/Desktop/*.tar.bz2 ?
[03:49] <Flannel> Jimbo_: wxwidgets is in universe
[03:49] <bruenig> Jimbo_, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wxwidgets2.6/libwxgtk2.6-dev_<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu2_i386.deb
[03:49] <bruenig> Ricesteam_, in linux that is called the notification area, in windows it is called the tray
[03:49] <bruenig> or in gnome I should say not linux
[03:49] <fiveiron> Ares, when you edit the squid configuration file, there is a directive called "http_port"
[03:50] <Ricesteam_> bruenig: Thank you!
[03:50] <cmatheson> what programs can view video from a webcam?
[03:50] <drbreen> lol, bruenig thinks linux is GNOME. tomorrow i'll run into one who thinks ubuntu is GNOME
[03:50] <Jimbo_> Flannel: i have universe and multiverse setup and there is not one main package that i can see for wxwidgets. only the gtk individual libs. :(
[03:50] <bruenig> drbreen, I corrected myself
[03:50] <fiveiron> Ares, you MUST set an IP address to run this port on, and it MUST be either your local network, or your localhost ip (i.e. - 192.168.x.x, or <IP_ADDRESS>).  the reason being, if no local IP is set, it will run on your external IP address thus making your box an open proxy, and you will get k-lined from freenode servers....
[03:51] <Flannel> Jimbo_: wx-common
[03:51] <fiveiron> so then it would be something like "http_port <IP_ADDRESS>:3128"
[03:51] <drbreen> bruenig: i know, but there are plenty ppl out there who may not graps the concept at all - one my little brothers, for example did think that linux is gnome until i showed off kde
[03:51] <bruenig> I was simply trying to dumb down the answer as the person asking was clearing not the brightest, (e.g.though the tray was called the taskbar)
[03:52] <fiveiron> Ares, beyond that, here is a site for other settings you need:  http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/TransparentProxy-4.html
[03:52] <Ares> fiveiron: What is the conf you're talking about, I'm unable to find mine on the site that documentation lists?
[03:52] <szf> mytruehero: the external drive simply won't "show up" ,eh?
[03:52] <fiveiron> squid.conf
[03:52] <bruenig> drbreen, yeah well too many gui = operating system, but when all other operating systems only have on gui, that is to be expected
[03:52] <bruenig> too many people*
[03:53] <bruenig> wow, that statement was riddled with typos
[03:53] <drbreen> bruenig: that won't save you. when you don't emphatize the differences , you make yourself guilty of spreading dumbness (:
[03:53] <vedder> Hi people :D
[03:53] <harisund> anybody has any experience with Dapper Gnome sessions? Why on earth am I not able to remove update-manager from my Gnome Sessions startup list? Only the 'enable' and 'disable' options are present. How do I delete it?
[03:53] <Jimbo_> Flannel: i manually installed that but i'm still getting loads of wxwidget errors. hmm, i think this source code must be problematic :(
[03:53] <MrWoo> sagarp, long story short, i found a line that had a EE infront of it
[03:53] <bruenig> perhaps, but again I did make the distinction quickly after
[03:53] <sagarp> lol
[03:53] <drbreen> bruenig: one time really some guy asked me what the game is called i play the whole day
[03:53] <fiveiron> Ares, i gotta run... email me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>if you have any problems with it (or if you accidentally get k-lined from freenode... I've done it before... heh heh)
[03:53] <vedder> How can i get all the dev's files to compile a jde pack?
[03:53] <sagarp> MrWoo: did you fix it
[03:53] <Ares> fiveiron: Heh, ok.
[03:53] <Ares> Thank You.
[03:53] <Ares> By the way.
[03:53] <bruenig> lol
[03:53] <drbreen> bruenig: he is only 15, but the game was called KDE
[03:53] <fiveiron> np
[03:53] <vedder> kde*
[03:53] <MrWoo> sagarp, it said "EE NO Devices detected" then below "Fatal Server error: No Screen Found"
[03:54] <MrWoo> sagarp, o i haven't fixed it yet
[03:54] <MrWoo> sagarp, i have not idea how to go about fixing that
[03:54] <bruenig> at 15, I would have at least asked, how you got windows to look like that
[03:54] <bruenig> not, what game are you playing
[03:54] <sagarp> MrWoo: hmm you probably need to setup the driver or something, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:54] <MrWoo> sagarp, the what
[03:55] <MrWoo> sagarp, i know what drivers are, but how do you set them up
[03:55] <vedder> please help i need to download all the dev to compile ktorrent, but i have problems
[03:55] <bruenig> !info ktorrent
[03:55] <ubotu> ktorrent: BitTorrent client for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2-0ubuntu5 (dapper), package size 738 kB, installed size 2964 kB
[03:55] <vedder> kdelibs4 wont download
[03:55] <bruenig> vedder, ktorrent is available in the repos, why not use that and have all of the dependencies solved for you
[03:56] <harisund> anybody has any experience with Dapper Gnome sessions? Why on earth am I not able to remove update-manager from my Gnome Sessions startup list? Only the 'enable' and 'disable' options are present. How do I delete it?
[03:56] <vedder> because is a really old version and is banned in mant sites..i want to use the latest one
[03:56] <sagarp> MrWoo: perhaps someone can correct me because i'm not sure about ATI cards....but on breezy i tihnk the driver is called ati...it should already be installed, but just in case, install xserver-xorg-driver-ati (i'm also not sure if that's right on breezy, just search for it)
[03:56] <MrWoo> allright, i'll try
[03:56] <sagarp> MrWoo: and then sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and find the devices section and change the driver to ati, or whatever it is
[03:56] <vedder> anyway that is not the problem..u want to compile any source if i need it or want it..i can't do that with ubuntu?
[03:57] <MrWoo> so wait
[03:57] <bruenig> vedder, that was indecipherable, you can compile source with ubuntu
[03:57] <MrWoo> sagarp, i'm gonna log in, then type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.cong and look for the ati driver
[03:58] <vedder> what where i can get the dev if i add all the repost (kubuntu kde too) i i cant download the devs?
[03:58] <bruenig> vedder, here you go http://ftp.sayclub.com/pub/X/KDE/stable/3.5.2/kubuntu/pool-dapper/kdelibs/kdelibs4-dev_3.5.2-0ubuntu0_i386.deb
[03:58] <vedder> what i have to do? download all that dev from debian?
[03:58] <sagarp> er.., MrWoo: no...log in...then type sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-ati
[03:58] <forkmantis_> I have a question about virtualization
[03:58] <bruenig> install it with gdebi
[03:59] <bruenig> or if you want sudo dpkg -i  package
[03:59] <vedder> Thanks :D
[03:59] <forkmantis_> I'm trying to get win2k running under ubuntu...
[03:59] <vedder> i hope that now i can download the other ones..
[03:59] <sagarp> MrWoo: then type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and scroll to the DEVICE section, and where it says "Driver" change its value to "ati"
[03:59] <MrWoo> allright, i'll be right back
[03:59] <searayman> need help with a compilign error!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:00] <meathead> i heart cock and ubuntu.
[04:00] <bruenig> vedder, a little tip, go to google and do 'filetype:deb packagename', google will only search for .deb files of the package you want, that is how I found that
[04:00] <bruenig> !language > meathead
[04:00] <forkmantis_> I've tried two separate avenues... under vmplayer and under qemu
[04:00] <dukeofnewyork> hello?
[04:00] <meathead> sorry
[04:00] <forkmantis_> I can get win2k installed in both qemu and vmplayer
[04:00] <petriborg> hey anyone around today that would know anything about the ubuntu libraries and why df and ubuntu in general is freaking out thinking that my drives are full when they are not? (maybe some problem with glibc or something)
[04:00] <searayman> compiling error, need quick help  :-)
[04:00] <bruenig> forkmantis, did you try vmware server, I installed windows with that pretty easily
[04:00] <meathead> I gues I justh heart ubuntu
[04:00] <meathead> even though I really do love the other thing.
[04:01] <forkmantis_> bruenig: was hoping for a free solution
[04:01] <pschulz01> eyequeue: Looking it up..
[04:01] <forkmantis_> bruenig: in qemu, the one app I need to run doesn't run
[04:01] <miguelsr> some one know how to update my amsn?
[04:01] <bruenig> forkmantis_, it is free, you can download it from their website, they give you a serial to use, unless by free you mean open source, which I am not sure
[04:01] <vedder> great tip thanks again :D
[04:01] <forkmantis_> bruenig: in vmplayer, I can't get the resolution above 640x480
[04:01] <searayman> what is qt?
[04:01] <kjm> i find it hard to believe that Ubuntu doesn't install make by default.....
[04:01] <forkmantis_> hmmm....
[04:01] <dukeofnewyork> hey guys, i got a problem
[04:02] <Led_Zeppelin> Hi All, I am getting Error 17 when trying to boot up ubuntu

[04:04] <searayman> bruenig:  can i ask u a compiling question?
[04:04] <petriborg> Led_Zeppelin - do what i said, google "grub error 17" it means can't mount your partition
[04:04] <Led_Zeppelin> petriborg, no real good matches
[04:04] <Led_Zeppelin> I have tried everything now, my grub files look perfect
[04:04] <dukeofnewyork> How do I install Nvidia drivers if I cant even install?
[04:04] <bruenig> searayman, don't compile much, try to go with debs as much as possible but go ahead, ask the entire channel probably helps your odds

[04:06] <goldenflaw> Hey, I just installed Dapper Drake on my MacBook and the grub loader is stuck at "Starting Grub, please wait.."
[04:06] <siratik000> Has anyone here ever done the perfect setup+ispconfig setup - I have a really simple question(my installation is at <IP_ADDRESS>) and in the installation instructions it says "Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web: E.g. <IP_ADDRESS>". Should i enter <IP_ADDRESS> here instead of <IP_ADDRESS>?
[04:06] <petriborg> LZ what does your /etc/fstab entry look like for the drive
[04:07] <next> duke: I can't vouch for it, but it seems like it might work. Then you wouldn't need to boot the live CD to install it. However, installing as a server will leave you without X or Gnome.
[04:07] <Led_Zeppelin> petriborg, /dev/sda1 = ext3 = /
[04:07] <petriborg> and then check the grub config and make sure it says /dev/sda1
[04:07] <dukeofnewyork> is there a whole package that will install gnome for me?
[04:07] <sagarp_> MrWoo, it's sudo apt-get install etc etc
[04:07] <bruenig> dukeofnewyork, if your problem is that xserver doesn't like your graphics card, you still will have problems, but you could at least install it do that and then work on getting the drivers installed afterwards
[04:07] <sagarp_> MrWoo,  not sudo apt
[04:07] <Led_Zeppelin> petriborg, which file?
[04:07] <next> duke: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop would then install it. Read the article for installing the driver, then start Gnome.
[04:07] <MrWoo> ahhhh
[04:08] <searayman> bruenig:  ok, i got farther
[04:08] <petriborg> i'll see if i can find an exact path for you...
[04:08] <bruenig> dukeofnewyork, the ubuntu-destop installs everything that is on the ubuntu cd, so you can get the server cd, then when you get the command prompt do that
[04:08] <searayman> bruenig:  but whast thsi mean: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
[04:08] <searayman> So, check this please and use another prefix!
[04:08] <MrWoo> i put a space between apt and -get
[04:08] <MrWoo> damn it
[04:08] <sagarp_> lol
[04:08] <dukeofnewyork> Thanks guys, i'll give it a try.
[04:08] <next> duke: Yeah, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop puts X, Gnome, etc all on. They're all dependent.

[04:10] <searayman> bruenig:  thats not what i am installing
[04:10] <petriborg> LZ - you want to look in /boot/grub/device.map probably for starters

[04:14] <bruenig> good searayman, I was just shooting in the dark myself, educated shooting in the dark I guess
[04:14] <sproingie> GoClick: could still be drivers then.  once you start doing stuff like video or even fancy web pages, a bad driver is death for performance
[04:14] <next> Maybe it's just my connection flaking.

[04:24] <MrWoo> what is that
[04:24] <sagarp> so you dont have to keep restarting
[04:24] <harisund> Please, does anybody at all knows how to stop the 'update-manager' from loading on bootup? The sessions properties only allows me to disable it (which doesn't work across session), not completely remove it.
[04:24] <MrWoo> sagarp, how do i use that
[04:25] <sagarp> MrWoo, when you're typing commands, you can hit TAB part of the way through, and the command or filename will be completed for you, or a list of possible completions will be shown
[04:25] <Dr_Fate> harisund, uninstall it
[04:25] <MrWoo> i c
[04:25] <MrWoo> and whats the ls command
[04:25] <sagarp> MrWoo, and the ls command just lists the conents of a directory...so if yuo type ls /etc/X11, it will list allt he files, in cluding xorg.conf

[04:27] <monkster> sagarp, i came in late... what is MrWoo trying to do?
[04:27] <harisund> Seriously. Is Ubuntu's Gnome documentation that bad?
[04:27] <kjm> I regret being lazy when I set this box up and used Automatix.....things seem to work.......but I have a shaky suspiscion that things will break soon.
[04:27] <eitch0000> Flawless: cool... gotta try it... but otherwise here's a rep: deb http://apt.gsi-services.ch/dapper/ dapper main
[04:27] <sagarp> monkster, his X wont start because it cant find any "suitable screens" or something, and he's using some ATI card
[04:27] <monkster> oh

[04:28] <bruenig> they wont install anything you don't want to install anyways, look at the packages when it updates and determine if you want
[04:28] <sagarp> monkster, but he's new to linux and has no internet in ubuntu so every time he makes a mistake he has to restart to get back on #ubuntu :P
[04:28] <monkster> ouch
[04:28] <RichW> Anyone in here know anything bout icecast video streaming?
[04:28] <harisund> Ok if nobody knows that, then this one: how do I start a gnome-sessoin without having to start gdm first? I tried to do startx and Gnome gave me plenty of errors.   Cause, that list is huge.  I figure it won't hurt to go back to original list
[04:28] <kethinov> can someone direct me to a list of ubuntu apt mirrors?
[04:28] <kjm> Thanks, I'd just like to compare.
[04:29] <bruenig> change the name to sources.list, not from sources.list.old
[04:29] <Cunali> Hello, my sound doesn't seem to work on ubuntu. It was working just a few minutes ago, but after a restart it doesn't seem to work any more. Any help please?
[04:29] <eitch0000> Flawless: it's my own rep for emergencies like these, but it might not always be up to date, feel free to use it though =))
[04:29] <bruenig> kjm, always backup
[04:29] <Flawless> eitch0000: ah - thx :)
[04:29] <kjm> I know, i know.  Got lazy with this install.
[04:30] <harisund> Does anybody here customize their Gnome?
[04:31] <bruenig> kjm, generally automatix backs stuff up if you do ls /etc/apt, i bet there will be quite a few sources.list backups
[04:31] <bruenig> harisund, I customized it, not that much, just different theme, background, and gdm
[04:31] <dukeofnewyork> harisund: yes, i added the Novell SLED menuy
[04:31] <bruenig> or I suppose login window interface, not gdm
[04:31] <bruenig> the SLED window looks terrible IMO
[04:32] <harisund> bruenig hmmm..  Iwant to remove update-manager and a ton of nonsense from my startup, but I am not able to. If I go to my sessions and see my startup tab, I don't even get the choice of removing update-manager. It is either disable or enable (and disable doesn't work across sessions)
[04:32] <dukeofnewyork> It's nothing cool, but i like it.
[04:32] <MrWoo> sagarp, the driver value was already set to ati
[04:32] <kjm> bruenig : Yup, it seems you're right.  I just got nervous.  Was looking through the source of automatix and saw a lot of apt --force calls......
[04:33] <cycom> I have an odd problem.  My logitech keyboard that worked on previous versions of ubuntu suddenly has become problematic.  The volume down key now seems to produce the keycode for leftclick...  very strange.
[04:33] <robert_> blah; I can't get gbsplay to work- it wants OSS
[04:33] <cycom> Several keys seem to be doing this.
[04:33] <bruenig> harisund, a lot of work but, all of the startup scripts are at /etc/init.d, you may be able to find whichever one starts update manager and delete it or move it or change it or whatever
[04:34] <harisund> bruenig that's the problem. update-manager is not a service, s you won't find it in /etc/init.d. It starts only with Gnome. That's what really annoys me. If it was a /etc/init.d/ script, it would have started merely when I boot my system, which is not the case really. ....
[04:34] <bruenig> oh
[04:35] <rafael_> hi
[04:35] <rafael_> brazil?
[04:35] <harisund> bruenig when my system starts, everything is perfect, I have only those processes that running that I want. When I start Gnome it starts a boatload of crap that I want.
[04:35] <penguinsuckers> is the cupsd that ubuntu has broken?
[04:35] <PurpleTen> ok, i was just tryin to add a new user to samba, using this cmd "sudo smbpasswd -a username"
[04:36] <PurpleTen> but i get an error
[04:36] <bruenig> harisund, it may be one of those unfortunate times where the answer is "if you want that kind of configurability, you need KDE", maybe not I don't know but I am not sure where the gnome start up stuff happens
[04:36] <PurpleTen> "something like "does this user exist in the unix password database"
[04:37] <harisund> bruenig I am afraid you might actually be right there :)
[04:37] <themdg> arrg.  I'm having trouble mounting a samba mount from one server (debian) to a kubuntu box on the network.
[04:37] <themdg> gives me wrong fs type, bad options, bad superblock etc.  Anyone have mounting skills?
[04:37] <themdg> I'll trade for bowstaff skill.s
[04:38] <bruenig> hmmm, well since he told a joke I guess I must assist
[04:38] <elkbuntu> harisund, tried seeing what's in 'system > preferences > sessions' ?
[04:38] <bruenig> he said he had
[04:38] <bruenig> although now that I am looking at it, there is a startup program called update-notifier, that looks pretty conspicuous
[04:39] <harisund> elkbuntu: Yes I did. First, I only have the choice of clicking on 'enable' or 'disable'. I just can't click 'remove'. Second, there are just 3 items listed in there while my ps axjf listing gives me a ton of nonsense I don't want running
[04:39] <gary[ubuntu] > !java
[04:39] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[04:39] <harisund> elkbuntu I don't want something called nautilus-cd-burner running. I don't have a CD burner. I don
[04:39] <bruenig> harisund, you don't have the startup program called update-notifier, I do, seems to be the thing
[04:39] <harisund> elkbuntu I also don't want Nautilus running. I know nautilus is only showing my desktop, but I prefer not to have it running, since I odn't have use for a desktop
[04:40] <harisund> bruenig I also do?
[04:40] <bruenig> delete it
[04:40] <bruenig> ah, it wont let you
[04:40] <Coffeegrinds> has anyone ever attempted installing bamboo/ the wiki'ish software not the shoot
[04:40] <harisund> bruenig When I click on it, the delete optoin is greyed out.
[04:40] <bruenig> well disable
[04:40] <sagarp> MrWoo, still there?
[04:40] <harisund> disable doesn't work across sessions.
[04:40] <bruenig> sure it does
[04:40] <MrWoo> sagarp, the driver value was already set to ati
[04:41] <MrWoo> it even detected my monitor type, an hp mx75
[04:41] <bruenig> or at least it has for me, not with update-notifier, but with some of my personal startup stuff
[04:41] <harisund> bruenig it disables it now, and then the program nicely runs itself. I want to know in which file these programs are listed and delete the entry from the file directory. I feel comfortable only when I do sometihng over the command line, modifying config files. GUI scares me.
[04:41] <shawnr_> can anyone help me out... load time between GDM and Gnome seems to get slower and slower every day. Is there anything I can tweak to speed it up?
[04:41] <mytruehero> I'm looking for a simple program to make daily, weekly, and monthly backups of my home directory to an external harddrive. Any suggestions?
[04:41] <sagarp> MrWoo, hmm, i dont know much about using ati cards on linux (always used nvidia) but maybe there's somehting wrong with it...try using the vesa driver instead...it's a generic driver that should work properly
[04:41] <harisund> bruenig I am afraid I will eventually end up like shawnr_ here, complaining the same thing.
[04:42] <MrWoo> how do i do that
[04:42] <sagarp> MrWoo, change ati to vesa, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:42] <Brokenstein> anybody here know how to get gamepad working in liquid war? my pads work fine in other apps...
[04:42] <MrWoo> allright
[04:43] <themdg> this, from the syslog on my mount issue:  smbfs: mount_data version<PHONE_NUMBER> is not supported
[04:43] <harisund>  bruenig oh well looks like I will have to give KDE a try too. Else it is xfce
[04:44] <bruenig> harisund, yeah I feel the same generally, you could make a symbolic link for update-notifier and have it go to somewhere else
[04:44] <bruenig> I once found the directory that had the startup scripts, I know it is in one of those hidden directories in the home folder, I am looking now but I forget which
[04:45] <harisund> bruenig hmm..ok ..if you find out, please leave me a message. I have to go now. Thanks a real ton for atleast chatting with me :) Nobody here seems to even bother about Gnome's customization.
[04:45] <bcron> hey, I have an obvious question... If you have updated your Ubuntu you don't need the new 6.06.1 release right?
[04:46] <shawnr_> bcron, right
[04:46] <bcron> shawnr_, thanks
[04:46] <bcron> I checked distrowatch after a few days and I felt left out
[04:46] <PurpleTen> im still lost with this smaba, can someone help me.. i cant add user
[04:46] <shawnr_> bcron, the new 6.06.1 release is just dapper repackaged with all the same updates you've been installing. so people who install for the first time don't have to download so many update
[04:47] <bcron> PurpleTen, what is the problem?
[04:47] <shawnr_> mytruehero, what did you say you were looking for?
[04:47] <PurpleTen> well ive shared a folder which i can see from my xp computer
[04:48] <PurpleTen> but i cant access it
[04:48] <PurpleTen> it asks for a pass n username
[04:48] <bcron> PurpleTen,  OK, Ive run into this before.  You have to create a samba user and give him a password
[04:48] <PurpleTen> it says i need to add a user in samba, but i cant seem to do that
[04:49] <PurpleTen> how do you do that
[04:49] <bcron> Im gonna try and find the instructions... one sec
[04:49] <PurpleTen> i did the "sudo smbpasswd -a username"
[04:49] <z0rz> Evolution doesn't ask me for a password and just gives an error when trying to acess my imap4 server .. anyone know why?
[04:49] <PurpleTen> that gave me some error sayin cant find user in unix password database
[04:51] <meathead> i heart pee pee and ubuntu.
[04:51] <bcron> PurpleTen, did you use a username that was setup in Ubuntu already or a new name?
[04:51] <PurpleTen> a new one
[04:52] <PurpleTen> do i use the username that i made when installin ubuntu?
[04:52] <dukeofnewyork> meathead: apt-get install you're_fkin_sick-1.243
[04:52] <codecaine> anybody know a better x view then using vnc?
[04:52] <bcron> PurpleTen, It doesn't have to be the one you used during install but it should be one you have on Ubuntu
[04:52] <TheGame> how do i get my soundback
[04:53] <dukeofnewyork> automatix
[04:53] <PurpleTen> ohk
[04:53] <jarrod06> hi
[04:53] <PurpleTen> ill try that
[04:53] <TheGame> if my sound goes out
[04:53] <TheGame> how do i get it back

[04:53] <z0rz> Is there a way to fix this?
[04:53] <shawnr_> TheGame, close apps using sound.. including firefox. in terminal run "killall esd"  then try again
[04:54] <TheGame> let me try it
[04:54] <shawnr_> TheGame, turn off esd sound mixing in prefs>sounds
[04:54] <kev900> hey everyone, whats the best way to watch an mpg video in ubuntu?
[04:54] <TheGame> didnt work
[04:54] <kev900> I currently don't have a decoder installed
[04:54] <alus> how do I list the files associated with a given package?
[04:55] <TheGame> still no sound
[04:55] <varsendaggr> kev900, mplayer
[04:55] <gary[ubuntu] > !esd
[04:55] <ubotu> esd is the enlightened sound deamon. It's deprecated, use !alsa instead
[04:55] <TheGame> brb
[04:55] <gary[ubuntu] > !alsa
[04:55] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[04:55] <TheGame> im going to restart gnome
[04:55] <MrWoo> sagarp, HEY THAT WORKED!
[04:55] <PurpleTen> sick! thx bcron
[04:55] <kev900> varsendaggr, when I open it in mplayer it says I do not have a decoder installed
[04:55] <PurpleTen> thanks heaps man
[04:55] <shawnr_> kevor, i use xvidcap
[04:56] <varsendaggr> apt-cache search mplayer adn install everyhting that looks like codecx

[04:56] <rockzman> Does anyone knows if it is possible to run a Directx Game using Wine?
[04:56] <MrWoo> !wine
[04:56] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:56] <bimberi> alus: dpkg -L package
[04:57] <shawnr_> kev900, http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/   make sure you download the latest tar and compile.
[04:57] <bcron> PurpleTen, no problem
[04:57] <kev900> great thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try
[04:57] <TheGame> sound still doesnt work even after restarting gnome
[04:58] <shawnr_> TheGame, what are you running that isn't working exactly
[04:58] <TheGame> no sound works
[04:58] <sagarp> MrWoo, there's still a problem, you want X to use the correct ATI driver, so that you can use it to the fullest (full hw acceleration)...using vesa is a temporary fix
[04:58] <TheGame> gaim doesnt work
[04:58] <TheGame> music doesnt work
[04:58] <TheGame> login logout doesnt work
[04:58] <y0ss1_77> can someone tell me how to mount the cd rom drive?
[04:58] <TheGame> no sound whatsoever
[04:58] <lmosher> Is my sound device on /dev/dsp? how can i tell?
[04:58] <shawnr_> TheGmae , did it work with the live cd?
[04:58] <Cunali> 'm having a sound problem too, though, it seems to be with only flash while inside firefox...all other system sounds and such seem to work, and i've tried two workarounds i've found online but neither seems to work for me :(
[04:58] <TheGame> it was working a few mins ago
[04:59] <TheGame> now theres no sound
[04:59] <z0rz> Why does firefox have 100% usage when I click and hold anywhere in the browser?
[04:59] <y0ss1_77> mount/dev/cd1?
[04:59] <TheGame> i have ubuntu installed to my hd
[04:59] <shawnr_> TheGame, did you restart X or do a full system restart?
[04:59] <lmosher> y0ss1_77, It should mount automatically. Technically the command is "sudo mount /dev/to/your/CDrom /mount/directory
[04:59] <y0ss1_77> or what?
[04:59] <z0rz> CPU Usage that is
[04:59] <TheGame> restarted X
[04:59] <y0ss1_77> it didnt mount automatically
[04:59] <bcron> y0ss1_77, sudo mount /dev/cd1 or whatever it's called
[04:59] <TheGame> should i restart the system
[04:59] <shawnr_> TheGame, why don't you try restarting completely. not usually needed
[04:59] <shawnr_> but give it a shot
[05:00] <y0ss1_77> bcron how do i see what the name of it is
[05:00] <TheGame> whats the cause for this do u thin
[05:00] <lmosher> y0ss1_77, type 'mount /dev/cd' then hit tab for completion options...
[05:00] <y0ss1_77> k
[05:00] <lmosher> y0ss1_77, touble-tap tab, rather, to see the list
[05:00] <shawnr_> TheGame, somthing could be locking up the soundcard, not letting anything else use it
[05:01] <TheGame> ok let me restart
[05:01] <shawnr_> TheGame, are you getting err msg when you try to run somethign that uses sound like mplayer?
[05:01] <lmosher> y0ss1_77, But it really depends on your system unfortunately. For example I have a DVD player and a dvdrw so mine are /dev/dvd and /dev/dvdrw
[05:01] <TheGame> no error
[05:01] <shawnr_> huh
[05:01] <TheGame> sound just doesnt play
[05:01] <TheGame> like it will play the song
[05:01] <TheGame> its just i dont hear anything
[05:01] <y0ss1_77> mount: No medium found
[05:01] <shawnr_> I hate to ask
[05:01] <TheGame> yes its not on mute
[05:01] <shawnr_> Did you check your cables
[05:01] <y0ss1_77> do i need to load it in mod
[05:01] <TheGame> im on a laptop
[05:02] <shawnr_> TheGame, speakers pluged into the headphone jack?
[05:02] <TheGame> nope
[05:02] <TheGame> laptop speakers
[05:02] <TheGame> let me restart
[05:02] <TheGame> brb
[05:02] <shawnr_> hm
[05:02] <shawnr_> k
[05:02] <PurpleTen> !lamp
[05:02] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[05:02] <lmosher> how do I find out the location of my sound device? is it /dev/dsp? /dev/snd? How do I tell?
[05:03] <oo1> I'm paritioning mu Ubuntu server and I was wondering what setup is best to use.. I've got 1x 250gb disc and 1x 120gb disc
[05:03] <bcron> y0ss1_77, mine is /dev/cdrom0 - Im not sure how to find it if it's not recognized
[05:03] <y0ss1_77> k
[05:03] <lmosher> oo1, That question is highly dependent on who is using the system, how robust you need.. etc. etc. etc. For example I don't give a crap what's on my system, I put all 250gb on / (except swap and boot, heh)
[05:04] <y0ss1_77> idk it says no medium found
[05:04] <oo1> It will be a ftp+ file server at home and a lamp server
[05:04] <y0ss1_77> what does that mean?
[05:05] <TheGame> hmm
[05:05] <EpP-PPC> if i buy a laptop that has a broadcom, will it for sure not work?
[05:05] <TheGame> what causes the sound to do that
[05:05] <bcron> it didn't work... I know Ive found it under /media in other distros
[05:05] <lmosher> oo1, hehe ok so you'll probably want somethin gmore robust than my lump solution.
[05:05] <lmosher> bcron, /media is where it mounts to in the fstab, not the device location
[05:05] <bcron> gotcha
[05:05] <bcron> I am sure I knew that... brainfart
[05:05] <EpP-PPC> are some broadcoms supported?
[05:05] <y0ss1_77> bcron it gives the error no medium found
[05:06] <lmosher> hang on I'm trying to figure out how to check the startup logs for where it puts the optical stuff...
[05:06] <y0ss1_77> what does that mean?
[05:06] <oo1> lmosher: do you have any suggestions on how I can get the most out of this?
[05:06] <lmosher> oo1, Sorry no that's way out of my league. The most I've ever done is make two partitions, one for the OS and one for a misc. downloads directory and a DVD-authorting working directory :P
[05:07] <bcron> y0ss1_77, It means it doesn't see the cdrom, I guess.   You can use the cdrom from a liveCD or other distros or Windows?
[05:07] <oo1> lmosher: thanks anyway :p

[05:18] <imbrandon> rast4 ok, dont let it happen again please, this is your only warning
[05:18] <bcron> soheil, Knights is good... use apt-get or synaptic and check it out
[05:18] <rast4> I said sorry, not much else I can say
[05:19] <soheil> where can I find wine?
[05:19] <bcron> soheil, apt-get or synaptic to get wine

[05:20] <siratik000> What is the command to list all the users on a system?
[05:21] <p4> Hello/ How to update Ubuntu from Hoary to Dapper?
[05:21] <drbreen> users
[05:21] <drbreen> siratik000: try 'users'
[05:21] <siratik000> I'm trying to figure out what group apache2 is running on, and I know its www-data , but what is the group?
[05:21] <HellDragon> heh
[05:21] <DrkLrd> p4, go to wiki
[05:21] <drbreen> !upgrade
[05:21] <siratik000> so just "groups"
[05:21] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[05:21] <DShepherd> drbreen: that's logged in users..
[05:21] <DrkLrd> guys am having problems with video players
[05:21] <DrkLrd> i installed mplayer and codecs
[05:22] <drbreen> DSheperd, siratik000: then look at /etc/passwd , wtf.
[05:22] <DrkLrd> when i play video for the first time it plays fine but the second time the colours are all washed
[05:22] <DShepherd> siratik000: you mean users logged in now? or users that have ever logged onto the system?
[05:22] <DrkLrd> in mplayer and totem both
[05:22] <rast4_> drklrd: try VLC
[05:22] <DrkLrd> rast4_, they are washed in both totem and mplayer mate
[05:22] <siratik000> DSheperd: I mean groups that are available to assign ownership from/to
[05:22] <DrkLrd> first movies i run is fone
[05:22] <DrkLrd> but then next is crap
[05:22] <rast4_> VLC has it's own codecs though
[05:22] <rast4_> wouldn't that matter?
[05:22] <DrkLrd> dunno
[05:22] <BrMiHi08> Is there a way to do a smaller version of the ubuntu install?
[05:23] <rast4_> I sort of had the same proglem
[05:23] <rast4_> problem*
[05:23] <rast4_> try it, it can't hurt
[05:23] <siratik000> BrMiHi08: server
[05:23] <DrkLrd> yeah lemme see
[05:23] <rast4_> I prefer that program on my windows boxes and ubuntu
[05:23] <BrMiHi08> siratik000 all I need to do is get it on a 4.3gig hard drive
[05:23] <scrappy_> BrMiHi08: i usually do a server install then apt-get xserver-xorg and xinitrc and such
[05:23] <bimberi> siratik000: type 'groups www-data' will tell you what groups that user is in (usually just a group with the same name - www-data)
[05:24] <DrkLrd> rast4_, tried fast ubuntu script? :)
[05:24] <bimberi> siratik000: the standard install will fit on 4.3G
[05:24] <soheil> hey. it says wine is a windows emulatur
[05:24] <rast4_> DrkLrd: I haven't
[05:24] <siratik000> bimberi: You get props, i've asked that question in 6 rooms and never got a str8 response - thanks everyone
[05:24] <soheil> u may run windows programs using it
[05:24] <rast4_> I'm relatively new to Ubuntu, but I am learning day vy day ;)
[05:24] <rast4_> by*
[05:24] <drbreen> soheil: winje isn't. it is an api-layer-hack or something like that
[05:24] <DrkLrd> rast4_, ah!
[05:24] <BrMiHi08> the install keeps locking up, but i can still move my mouse, can't click on anything though
[05:24] <rast4_> but I had to get the Video and Audio down before anything
[05:25] <rast4_> all I do is watch movies and listen to music
[05:25] <bimberi> siratik000: np (and that 2nd response wasn't actually for you sorry ;) )
[05:25] <rast4_> so that was #1 in my book of things to figure out
[05:25] <siratik000> arite
[05:25] <DrkLrd> lol
[05:25] <soheil> Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library)
[05:25] <soheil> While Wine is usually thought of as a Microsoft Windows emulator, the Wine
[05:25] <soheil> developers would prefer that users thought of Wine as a Windows compatibility
[05:25] <soheil> layer for Linux. Wine does not require MS Windows, but it can use native system
[05:25] <soheil> dll files in place of its own if they are available.
[05:25] <soheil> This package includes a program loader, which allows unmodified Windows
[05:25] <soheil> binaries to run under compatible hardware.  This package also includes the
[05:25] <soheil> library that implements the Wine project's free version of the Windows API,
[05:25] <soheil> allowing successful running
[05:25] <ardchoille> !paste
[05:25] <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)
[05:25] <DrkLrd> soheil, wtf
[05:25] <soheil> of programs ported directly from Windows.
[05:25] <siratik000> woa
[05:25] <bcron> soheil, wine runs windows programs but not all windows programs and not very easily
[05:25] <leboff> o
[05:25] <siratik000> no pasting into the thing
[05:26] <leboff> i'm having trouble accessing an old linux drive from a new linux box... for some reason the filesystem wont mount.. anyone here that can help out?
[05:26] <drbreen> bcron: not very easily ? "apt-get install wine" is uneasy
[05:26] <rast4_> anyone that wants to help with networking my windows network to the ubuntu?
[05:26] <rast4_> that's where I'm stuck at so far
[05:26] <drbreen> leboff: error message anyone ?
[05:26] <rast4_> I've been reading but I can't get it to work
[05:26] <bcron> soheil, they actually sell more robust versions of wine... some take more libs than others and a lot of tweaking...
[05:27] <bcron> drbreen, I had no problem installing wine, getting everything working in wine was another thing
[05:27] <scrappy_> soheil: if youre not 3d gaming id just use vmware or qemu to run xp..
[05:27] <crashtest> Anybody know how i'd check to see what the maximum filesize is for a logical volume?
[05:27] <bcron> drbreen, what is uneasy about apt-get for wine?
[05:28] <drbreen> bcron: did you expect everything to work ? i did not but was surprised: i can only name one program i may need which did not run in wine or had a better (red: free) alternative: cisco packet tracer
[05:28] <leboff> mount: /dev/hdc5 already mounted or /mnt/hde busy
[05:28] <sanddrag> I have a problem.  I am on thje live CD and I cannot change tghe resolution to anything other than 640x480.  I want to install to HD but I cannot see the buttons on the bottom of the install window and I cannot resize it smaller.
[05:28] <sanddrag> what do I do?
[05:28] <drbreen> bcron: </sarcasm style="don't:try-this@home">
[05:29] <[Ex0r] > ping me
[05:29] <[Ex0r] > please*
[05:29] <drbreen> sanddrag: hold down alt, click on a window and draw it around ;)
[05:29] <bcron> drbreen, I either understand nothing you have said and you me or we are in violent agreement
[05:29] <leboff> drbreen, its not mounted.. and i dont know what would make /mnt/hde busy
[05:29] <drbreen> leboff: did ya try to mount manually ?
[05:30] <leboff> drbreen thats what i'm doing.. i got the one partition to mount in the disk manager.. but thats just the boot partition so all i ahve is the grub and things..
[05:30] <drbreen> bcron: we agree violently, wine isn't uneasy to install, but sometimes a PITA for those who want to do serious work
[05:31] <leboff> and now using 'sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc5 /mnt/hde' i get that message
[05:31] <drbreen> leboff: did you try "man mount" in the console ?
[05:31] <drbreen> or sorry
[05:31] <drbreen> leboff: what is the text of the message ?
[05:31] <sanddrag> hey thanks drbreen.  holding alt works. However, is there a reason I cannot pick any other resolution.  Is it not recognizing my graphics card or something?
[05:31] <magneticmos> re
[05:31] <drbreen> leboff: busy stuff ?
[05:32] <leboff> mount: /dev/hdc5 already mounted or /mnt/hde busy
[05:32] <drbreen> leboff: open a terminal, type 'mount' then pastebin it
[05:32] <bcron> drbreen, yeah we agree... all of my experience before ubuntu was slackware so everything seems easier but less fulfilling now
[05:32] <Jbirk> Hello, I have a question
[05:32] <drbreen> bcron: hey, i started with slackware too, then went off to ubuntu ;)
[05:32] <ardchoille> leboff: type mount and see if /dev/hdc5 is mounted or see if there is any device mounted to /mnt/hde
[05:32] <bcron> Jbirk, shoot
[05:32] <sanddrag> so does anyone know why I cannot change the resolution to anything other than 640x480?
[05:32] <rast4_> what's the command to switch in between channel windows in BitchX?
[05:33] <Jbirk> I would like to get a Trash Can and a Computer Icon on my GNOME desktop
[05:33] <SEJeff> bcron: I played with gentoo for the longest time but found I like getting work done versus tweaking everything
[05:33] <soheil> I guess I ran out of H.D.D
[05:33] <meathead> i heart pee pee and ubuntu.
[05:33] <soheil> my ubuntu ran out of space?!
[05:33] <meathead> I just wanted everyone to know.
[05:33] <ardchoille> Jbirk: Open gconf-editor, go to apps/nautilus/desktop and check the items you want on your desktop
[05:33] <Jbirk> I recently installed ubuntu
[05:33] <soheil> :-?
[05:33] <SEJeff> Jbirk: gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/preferences
[05:33] <drbreen> jbirk: open the gconf-editor and look under "desktop" or stuff - there is a switch to configure that
[05:33] <bimberi> Jbirk: run 'gconf-editor' and navigate to /apps/nautilus/desktop
[05:33] <bcron> SEJeff, yeah!  I tried gentoo for a week... I love slackware but I figured I'd try and learn more networking stuff and less getting my mouse to scroll
[05:33] <leboff> drbreen: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20625
[05:33] <eigenlambda> soheil: is that what the system monitor is telling youL
[05:34] <[Ex0r] > i think I am lagging.. bad
[05:34] <SEJeff> Jbirk: *ahem* I mean /apps/nautilus/desktop. There you can just check computer_icon_visible, and trash_icon_visible
[05:34] <next> sanddrag: X didn't detect a higher resolution. You need to close X and get to a terminal. (ctrl-alt-F2 I think) Then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg After that, when you get to the section on resolutions, find your resolution and hit space bar, then enter and continue with the config.
[05:35] <magneticmos> ANYONE RUNNING MYTHTV ON UBUNTU HERE?
[05:35] <Jbirk> how do I open gconf-editor?
[05:35] <[Ex0r] > magneticmos- #mythtv-users :)
[05:35] <SEJeff> Jbirk: ALT F2 and type it
[05:35] <[Ex0r] > very helpful bunch of people
[05:35] <ardchoille> Jbirk: ALT+F2 and type in  gconf-editor
[05:35] <eigenlambda> !caps
[05:35] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[05:36] <ardchoille> eigenlambda: Sorry, it's a habit to use caps in alt+f2 things
[05:36] <eigenlambda> lol not you
[05:36] <Jbirk> Wiow
[05:36] <Jbirk> Wow
[05:36] <Jbirk> This is almost like regedit
[05:36] <SEJeff> Jbirk: fix it?
[05:36] <eigenlambda> of course you use caps to type key names
[05:36] <scrappy_> Jbirk: dont ever say that again
[05:36] <leboff> drbreen: can you think of anything
[05:36] <SEJeff> Jbirk: but it tells you what the keys do most of the time and you can script it easily using the gconftool-2 command. regedit isn't near as easy to script
[05:36] <ardchoille> eigenlambda: oh, ok, I scrolled up and saw it.. thought you meant me.
[05:36] <eigenlambda> lol gconftool is not regedit
[05:37] <eigenlambda> no way
[05:37] <rast4> test
[05:37] <ardchoille> scrappy_: lol
[05:37] <eigenlambda> gconf is much more sophisticated, powerful, and damage-resistant than a hacked-up binary .ini
[05:38] <PurpleTen> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('random');
[05:38] <PurpleTen> is this right?
[05:38] <Jbirk> Thanks a ton
[05:38] <SEJeff> eigenlambda: I wrote the script on this blog post:  http://www.dylanknightrogers.com/2006/07/17/faster-dappersh/ and yes, I know gconftool-2. To be specific, gconf is just an xml database of settings.
[05:38] <drbreen> leboff: does not looks suspicious
[05:38] <Jbirk> So much better than my ln -s to make a trash icon
[05:38] <drbreen> leboff: is /mnet/hde symlinked somewhere ?
[05:39] <leboff> shouldnt be.. i made it about 10 minutes ago
[05:39] <ardchoille> PurpleTen: It's not a good idea to enable the root account.
[05:39] <PurpleTen> the root?
[05:39] <PurpleTen> why not
[05:39] <PurpleTen> its for mysql
[05:39] <ardchoille> PurpleTen: oops, sorry
[05:39] <PurpleTen> ?
[05:39] <ardchoille> PurpleTen: ignore me.. I've had way too much caffeine
[05:39] <PurpleTen> what do you mean ardchoille?
[05:40] <PurpleTen> lolk
[05:40] <GoDawgs> nalioth, hello there friend :)
[05:40] <Jbirk> I would like to thank you guys for liberating me.  Ubuntu is the only distro that ever worked right after burning the ISO
[05:40] <rellim> what replaced hotplug?
[05:40] <rellim> i just realized that hotplug isn't in the repos
[05:40] <nalioth> GoDawgs: howdy
[05:40] <Jbirk> Serriously, it detected my Laptop's 1920 x 1200 and my NIC, and my Wireless Card, and sound device
[05:40] <rellim> what replaced hotplug?
[05:40] <rellim> anyone??
[05:40] <SEJeff> Jbirk: Glad to help even though ardchoille beat me to the answer you needed
[05:41] <ardchoille> Jbirk: This is the best channel on freenode, IMHO. Also, visit http://ubuntuforums.org  that's the best forums :)
[05:41] <GoDawgs> nalioth, how goes it dude?
[05:41] <bcron> Jbirk, and saved you countless hours of "learning"
[05:41] <nalioth> GoDawgs: come on into #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:41] <tuxvix> hello
[05:41] <tuxvix> does any one know what other command I can use to download remote files from shell
[05:41] <SEJeff> rellim: because hotplug was integrated into HAL and the kernel. hotplug itsself has been deprecated for awhile
[05:41] <tuxvix> other then wget
[05:41] <Jbirk> I checked out the forums
[05:42] <Jbirk> google sent me there
[05:42] <DrkLrd> rast4_, nah vlc has same prob
[05:42] <ardchoille> Jbirk: Good to see you're using google :)
[05:42] <SEJeff> tuxvix: wget or curl for download only. w3m for a console www browser
[05:42] <tuxvix> =) thx, let me try ...
[05:43] <SEJeff> night guys
[05:43] <ardchoille> g'nite SEJeff
[05:43] <meathead> unless you are sshing
[05:43] <meathead> there are different commands for sshing
[05:43] <tuxvix> I am using shell tru putty
[05:43] <khoda`> how do i get videos to work on websites (youtube, google)
[05:43] <meathead> figured
[05:44] <SEJeff> tuxvix: from the putty side, download pscp.exe. rename it to scp.exe and copy it into C:\windows\system. Now you could do things like scp username@remotehostname:/path/to/file/you/want .
[05:44] <meathead> tuxvix, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_copy_files.2Ffolders_from_remote_Ubuntu_machine_into_local_machine_.28scp.29
[05:44] <soheil> Ican't execute hda1 nor hda2
[05:44] <tuxvix> =) thank you
[05:44] <Luke> is there a way to change your computers host name?
[05:45] <nalioth> Luke: open a terminal and type 'man hostname'   be very careful you know what you are doing
[05:45] <khoda`> how do i get videos to work on websites (youtube, google)
[05:45] <meathead> Luke: use "hostname"
[05:45] <Luke> nalioth: already did that - it just changed back to the old one

[05:45] <soheil> I can't execute hda1 nor hda2
[05:45] <soheil> why?
[05:46] <soheil> it says I don't have privillages

[05:46] <khoda`> scrappy_: couldnt find the package
[05:46] <eigenlambda> why does faster-dapper think cfq is the right scheduler?
[05:46] <SEJeff> khoda`: enable multiverse + universe and then try again
[05:46] <soheil> I can't see their contents, I mean
[05:46] <khoda`> SEJeff: how?
[05:47] <bcron> whoopsie
[05:47] <scrappy_> khoda`: the restricted formats would i think have instructions for enabling the repos
[05:47] <SEJeff> eigenlambda: Easy... upstream kernel.org adopted it for the latest kernel. Also, so did the Ubuntu devs. Don't believe me?
[05:47] <scrappy_> khoda`: page
[05:47] <eigenlambda> no
[05:47] <eigenlambda> i was just wondering, is all

[05:54] <johnnyg> bimberi: thanks, now for the big one, how do I mount a USB external hard drive that has worked in system before but was unmounted last time I used it
[05:55] <meathead> khoda; that means you need to type sudo to do whatever you're doing. you don't have proper permissions
[05:55] <scrappy_> jordo23: cant find a working one online to copy?
[05:55] <meathead> orr, another program is actually using that
[05:55] <bimberi> jeff303: various, but i wouldn't recommend it
[05:55] <meathead> like... synaptic
[05:55] <jordo23> Scrappy_: no....have no more CD's either...
[05:55] <bimberi> johnnyg: unplug/replug ?
[05:55] <SEJeff> siratik000: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_5.10
[05:55] <johnnyg> bimberi: tried that, also restarted an booted
[05:55] <jordo23> Scrappy_: would like to upgrade through apt, but my sources.list doesn't work
[05:56] <jordo23> I have it available if anyone wants to read it
[05:56] <ardchoille> khoda`: Do you have Synaptic open?
[05:56] <khoda`> meathead: i did type sudo
[05:56] <khoda`> ardchoille: no, i closed it
[05:56] <bimberi> johnnyg: does 'dmesg | tail' show anything immediately after plugging it in?
[05:56] <ardchoille> khoda`: k
[05:56] <meathead> khoda`: are you trying to install or uninstall a package?
[05:56] <Slaj_R> Question... Here's the error message I get when I try to play a video on a web page...
[05:57] <khoda`> ardchoille: when i open it back up the multiverse/universe is unchecked... is that suppsoed to happen
[05:57] <khoda`> meathead: yes
[05:57] <Slaj_R> Totem could not play 'mms://<file address>.wmv'.
[05:57] <Slaj_R> No URI handler implemented for "mms".
[05:57] <SEJeff> bimberi: dmesg | tail won't work like you want it. I think you mean tail -f /var/log/messages
[05:57] <ardchoille> khoda`: I don't know, I do everything from command line
[05:57] <meathead> khoda`: then close synaptic or whatever other package managing program you have open
[05:57] <Slaj_R> Can someone point me in the right direction for a solution?
[05:57] <bimberi> SEJeff: it will, but your way is better :)
[05:57] <scrappy_> jordo23: well ideally youd find one for hoarty and just apt-get update
[05:58] <scrappy_> jordo23: hoary
[05:58] <lmosher> Does anyone know how to find information about my sound driver in ubuntu?
[05:58] <jordo23> scrappy_: can you look at my sources.list if i post it?
[05:58] <meathead> goto system, preferences, sound?
[05:58] <ardchoille> jordo23: pastebin it, I'll look at it
[05:58] <tomasz27> I just installed Ubuntu. It is freakin awsome!
[05:58] <jordo23> ok
[05:59] <ardchoille> tomasz27: YAY! :)
[05:59] <meathead> tomasz27: sweet!
[05:59] <khoda`> ardchoille: how do you enable multiverse/universe from command line
[05:59] <khoda`> ardchoille: i just want to install flash
[05:59] <scrappy_> jordo23: paste.ubuntu-nl.org    yeah
[05:59] <tomasz27> SCREW Windows
[05:59] <crashtest> any ideas?
[05:59] <crashtest> please?
[05:59] <ardchoille> !repos > khoda`
[05:59] <rockzman> Does anyone know where can i get a free source of cedega?
[06:00] <meathead> uhh, I pay for cedega
[06:00] <DanaG> cvscedega, but it doesn't work.
[06:00] <DanaG> It won't even compile.
[06:00] <scrappy_> rockzman: no because that is wrong and i dont like to talk about isohunt
[06:00] <Asenchi> crashtest: could be a MAX setting in the kernel, just an idea
[06:00] <johnnyg> bimberi: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20629
[06:00] <DanaG> At least the last time I tried.
[06:00] <rockzman> meathead: i heard that  there is a source code for paid cedega
[06:00] <Slaj_R> Also, anyone know what happened to the option of de-selecting some screensavers in xscreensaver (random mode)?
[06:00] <rockzman> scrappy_: wahh -.- geek
[06:00] <rockzman> rofl
[06:00] <meathead> the cvs yeah, but it never compiles like DanaG said
[06:00] <crashtest> asenchi: hmmm
[06:01] <rockzman> meathead: oh this "free" code is the cvscedega?
[06:01] <meathead> yeah
[06:01] <scrappy_> rockzman: either pirate it or pony up the money :)
[06:01] <rockzman> scrappy_: :P 1st option, thank you
[06:01] <SEJeff> rockzman: install frostwire and get it there...
[06:01] <skypa> hi, I'd like to loop through a variable line by line in a bash script.. any ideas on how to do that?
[06:01] <meathead> maybe if someone said whether or not they need 64 bit someone in the channel might just happen to send them a binary of the program?
[06:01] <jordo23> Pastebin link:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20630
[06:01] <rockzman> SEJeff: im doing it with eMule
[06:02] <meathead> I get this error a lot, can someone help to fix it? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20628
[06:02] <skypa> I already know how to do it with a file (while read line etc), but not how to to it with a variable :)
[06:02] <SEJeff> skypa: pastebin how you think it should look to give me an idea and I'll give you working code
[06:02] <rockzman> SEJeff: thanks anyway
[06:02] <bimberi> johnnyg: do those messages just keep coming? - try 'tail -f /var/log/messages' (as SEJeff said)
[06:02] <skypa> alrighty
[06:02] <ardchoille> jordo23: ok, what is the problem?
[06:03] <scrappy_> jordo23: if you comment out the cdrom line and apt-get update does that fix?
[06:03] <jordo23> ardchoille:  everytime I try to apt-get or upgrade it states that packages don't exist and are referred to by another
[06:04] <johnnyg> bimberi: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20631
[06:04] <Asenchi> crashtest: i found somehting, one second
[06:04] <jordo23> scrappy_: cdrom line?
[06:04] <rockzman> !source'o matic
[06:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about source'o matic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:05] <rockzman> !source o'matic
[06:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about source o'matic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:05] <ardchoille> jordo23: jordo23 You're using warty?
[06:05] <scrappy_> jordo23: first thing i do after install is put a # in front of deb cdrom at the top and remove any # in front of other deb lines
[06:05] <UpMarc> Hi all!
[06:05] <scrappy_> jordo23: then sudo apt-get update
[06:05] <jordo23> ardchoille:  old dist.....want to upgrade to current
[06:05] <UpMarc> please, I'm a beginner and need some help
[06:06] <bimberi> johnnyg: and they just keep coming?
[06:06] <Jbirk> Any really cool password management util?
[06:06] <Jbirk> for Ubunut?
[06:06] <Jbirk> Ubuntu
[06:06] <jordo23> Then do dist-upgrade?
[06:06] <UpMarc> I'm trying to install Jahshaka for Ubuntu
[06:06] <ardchoille> jordo23: You'll need to upgrade from warty to breezy, then from breezy to dapper
[06:06] <johnnyg> bimberi: no, after Aug 14 22:58:44 localhost kernel: [17180697.916000]  usb 5-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 21 it just blinks and I don't get another command prompt
[06:06] <jordo23> ardchoille: cool with me
[06:07] <jordo23> distupgrade?
[06:07] <SEJeff> johnnyg: I wrote up a tutorial on this awhile back on the ML of my Linux User Group. Here it is: http://www.taclug.org/pipermail/taclug-general/2004-November/012985.html
[06:07] <UpMarc> but after commands: sudo apt-get update (done) and sudo apt-get install jahshaka
[06:08] <UpMarc> the message is: Impossible to find package jahshaka
[06:08] <jordo23> ardchoille: did apt-get dist-upgrade and it seems to be working
[06:08] <johnnyg> SEJeff: thanks much, I'll read it and pop back in with questions (or to say thank for you getting it working)  :)
[06:08] <ardchoille> !info jahshaka
[06:08] <ubotu> Package jahshaka does not exist in dapper
[06:08] <SEJeff> Jbirk: Get revelation from Universe. I use it all the time as a password manager and it's awesome. make sure to play with the preferences
[06:08] <ardchoille> UpMarc: That's why
[06:08] <SEJeff> johnnyg: well I am leaving sometime soon like I said I was 20 minutes ago...
[06:08] <Asenchi> crashtest: i lied, no solutions. but google has some returns on people with similar problems, just can't find a solution
[06:08] <ardchoille> Jbirk: I second what SEJeff said, revelation is a very good password manager :)
[06:08] <jeff303> has anyone else had their nvidia-glx package stop working after upgrading from breezy->dapper?  (what I really mean is, device "nvidia" doesn't work in the xorg.conf)
[06:09] <jordo23> scrappy_: does that sound right to you (I already did apt-get update and it worked)
[06:09] <crashtest> hrm.
[06:09] <johnnyg> SEJeff: boo!
[06:09] <skypa> SEJeff, took a while, pastebin.com is painfully slow today: http://monoport.com/933
[06:09] <Asenchi> i am sure it is a kernel setting, or sometype of login processor that limits file{creation,size,opened}
[06:09] <SEJeff> johnnyg: Hey I am doing this for free at 12:09AM... you get what you pay for ;-)
[06:10] <bimberi> johnnyg: hmmk, unfortunately the hits i'm getting on those messages relate to bad disk or usb power issues - this thread is interesting: http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug/2005/03/msg00368.html
[06:10] <ardchoille> Asenchi: Hi :)
[06:10] <Asenchi> i know BSD's have something where you can set these things... just can't remember where in Linux something similar would be.
[06:10] <scrappy_> jordo23: bear in mind its only updating to latest version that is in sources.list if you want to move to breezy you have to paste a breezy sources.list and apt-get update again
[06:10] <Asenchi> ardchoille: hey :)
[06:10] <jordo23> scrappy_: where do I get a new sources.list?
[06:10] <scrappy_> jordo23: youre using gedit to edit the file?
[06:11] <jordo23> scrappy_: wasn't....using PICO
[06:11] <jordo23> scrappy_: through root term....pico
[06:11] <morphix> How do i make startx execute upon logining into shell from a certain user, i tried adding to ~/.bash_profile but that still doesnt work :(
[06:12] <scrappy_> jordo23: i would think you could just replace any warty with breezy and then save and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:12] <johnnyg> I'm heading into windows to see if it pulls there, brb
[06:12] <jordo23> scrappy_:  will try.....one minute
[06:12] <jordo23> scrappy_: how do you check which dist is currently running through command line?
[06:12] <scrappy_> cat /etc/lsb-release i think
[06:13] <SEJeff> jordo23: cat /etc/issue
[06:13] <jordo23> rhx
[06:13] <jordo23> thx
[06:14] <ardchoille> jordo23: open a term and do:  lsb_release -a
[06:15] <Cainus> anyone know if there's a way to wget to standard io?
[06:15] <Cainus> instead of a file

[06:16] <Cainus> tried wget --help ... guess I can try that
[06:16] <godtvisken> Where are keymaps/keyboard layouts stored?
[06:16] <jordo23> Seems to be working replacing warty with breezy.....just to be sure to I do dist-upgrade or just upgrade?
[06:16] <scrappy_> Canute: | ?
[06:16] <Cainus> I to nothing?
[06:16] <Cainus> errrr
[06:16] <Cainus>  | to nothing?
[06:16] <scrappy_> Cainus: i cant be bothered with every little detail
[06:16] <scrappy_> :)
[06:17] <Cainus> heh well that's essentially what I'm asking :)
[06:17] <jordo23> scrappy_: I updated the package lists after replacing warty with breezy, do I dist-upgrade or just upgrade?
[06:17] <rellim> what does ubuntu use to manager usb devices?

[06:24] <arcanistherogue> How do you unzip .rar files on ubuntu?  I checked the repositories but I can't find any rar or unrar package
[06:25] <Madpilot> arcanistherogue, the rar packages are in Universe or multiverse repos
[06:25] <scrappy_> arcanistherogue: its in multiverse
[06:25] <bimberi> !rar
[06:25] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[06:25] <arcanistherogue> aha
[06:25] <arcanistherogue> thanks everyone for fast help

[06:27] <Jbirk> How can I force dismout a volume?
[06:27] <Jbirk> as in really quick?
[06:27] <Jbirk> I.e. if someone is accessing data
[06:27] <Jbirk> and I neeed to stop it
[06:27] <rellim> poison: thus, i am now a ubuntu user ... (Xubuntu actually because i <3 xfce)
[06:28] <rellim> Jbirk: if you are root ... err, sudo privilaged
[06:28] <Jbirk> so
[06:28] <Jbirk> $sudo umount data
[06:28] <Jbirk> to force dismount the data volume?
[06:28] <Jbirk> I want it to dismount even if it has open handles
[06:28] <rellim> Jbirk: yeah
[06:28] <Jbirk> i.e. if a database is running from it
[06:28] <poison> I just got on it again. Was using Breezy a while back and switched to debian and now back to ubuntu for a week now.
[06:28] <godtvisken> How can I use my own custom keymap?
[06:28] <Jbirk> and I am willing to drop it flat on its face
[06:28] <rellim> Jbirk: hold ... there might be a force command
[06:29] <rellim> Jbirk: "sudo umount -f <disk>"
[06:29] <scrappy_> Jbirk: umount -l is handy too   lazy umount
[06:30] <neunhundertsechs> where i can find a good tutorial to install my nvidia card perfect ?
[06:30] <ardchoille> !away > meathead
[06:30] <rellim> neunhundertsechs: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[06:30] <Jbirk> Yeah
[06:30] <Jbirk> because let's say I am running samba
[06:30] <Jbirk> and someone is copying a file
[06:30] <Jbirk> and I want to stop it
[06:30] <scrappy_> neunhundertsechs: if you want to use the nvidia installer google for latest dapper nvidia or somesuch its in the forums
[06:30] <Jbirk> becuase I cannot let them have the file
[06:31] <Jbirk> any ideas?
[06:31] <Jbirk> other than stopping samba
[06:31] <mrPolite> !enter
[06:31] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[06:31] <threethirty> hey I was wondering if there is any support for touchscreens in Ubuntu
[06:32] <Jbirk> you man like a tablet?
[06:32] <scrappy_> threethirty: which one?
[06:32] <rellim> Jbirk: pull the ethernet plug?
[06:32] <mrPolite> threethirty:  i use a wacom tablet
[06:32] <Jbirk> that effectivly stops all traffic to that NIC
[06:32] <threethirty> i have an unknow external monitor that is  touchscreen, it came from a movie theater
[06:33] <mrPolite> Jbirk: why are the files available and shared in samba if you don't want to allow copies?
[06:33] <Al-Ashtar> hi
[06:33] <Jbirk> This is just hypothetical
[06:33] <Jbirk> I can't wait to have kids
[06:33] <sethk> Jbirk, is making the mount read only useful?
[06:33] <Jbirk> sure
[06:34] <Jbirk> I think I can just change the permissions on the file
[06:34] <Jbirk> seems helpful
[06:34] <Jbirk> Thanks
[06:34] <Jbirk> I can't wait to have kids
[06:34] <mrPolite> !tell Jbirk about enter
[06:34] <ardchoille> making the mount read only? How will that stop someone from reading a file?
[06:34] <mrPolite> read = copy
[06:34] <Jbirk> I will get to tell them stories like, "When I was your age ... if you unplugged the ethernet cable, you had to reboot to get it working again"
[06:35] <rellim> Jbirk: lol
[06:35] <morphix> !ati > morphix
[06:35] <ardchoille> read != copy
[06:36] <mrPolite> if a file can be viewed or played via samba, then a local copy can be saved
[06:36] <morphix> !nvidia > neunhundertsechs
[06:36] <kjm> Jbirk - When I was your age,  if I unplugged the modem cable, it froze my C64 and I had to shut down for 10 minutes for it to restart without melting.
[06:36] <kjm> so, pfffft
[06:36] <yossman> haha kjm
[06:36] <godtvisken> If I have a file filled with stuff like, key <AC01> { [a, A, ae, AE]  }; where does it belong so I can use it? (keymap file)
[06:36] <Al-Ashtar> I was using xchat 2.6.6 with the spell checking feature working ok, but yesterday I was forced to do a "fsck" upon boot up. after the reboot I lost the spell checking feature. so I tried re-compiling from source with --enable-spell=static just as the xchat FAQ said, but again it doesn't work. and google doesn't return anything useful.
[06:36] <Jbirk> I had to suffer Widnows 98 for ages
[06:37] <dann> helllooooo
[06:37] <morphix> Al-Ashtar: u just learn how to spell instead of relying on xchat to do it
[06:37] <cdew4545> does anyone know the system requirements for 6.06?? i've searched the forums and the documentation but cant seem to find it
[06:37] <morphix> could**
[06:37] <Al-Ashtar> morphix: not an option
[06:37] <dann> hahah
[06:37] <Al-Ashtar> :P
[06:37] <ardchoille> cdew4545: Well, I run Ubuntu on a PII with 128Mb ram
[06:37] <Jbirk> It has a Readyness analyser
[06:37] <morphix> cdew4545: 256mb ram 2gb hdd space
[06:38] <morphix> cdew4545: thats what it says on cd.
[06:38] <morphix> depends on what u have on it. and running
[06:38] <cdew4545> ok, i was just checking, i figured it was low, but how about install time for an older system?
[06:38] <Jbirk> Just pop the live CD in and it will run the readiness analyser much like Windows.  Only you will know for sure if it works or not before installing.
[06:38] <morphix> i had ubuntu running on my old p1 200mhz 64mb ram :)
[06:38] <kjm> cdew4545 - depends on how much stuff you want to install.  I would use the text installer though.
[06:38] <ardchoille> cdew4545: It took me about 45 min to install Ubuntu on that system and almost an hour to completely update it.
[06:39] <cdew4545> i've tried installing a few times but it seems to hang...from the same install disk i used for this comp
[06:39] <cdew4545> ok
[06:39] <ardchoille> morphix: nice :)
[06:39] <cdew4545> thanks a lot
[06:39] <Jbirk> How can I update Ubuntu?  I have not done that yet
[06:39] <morphix> if u do a slim install u can use very min req.
[06:39] <kjm> Jbirk - $sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:39] <poison> apt-get update apt-get upgrade
[06:40] <end_us> anyone have any idea why ubuntu is telling me that my obviosly -not-mounted-drive is suddenly in use when i try to mount it?
[06:40] <cdew4545> is that an option when you pop in the cd and restart?  i have just tried the first option regular install so far
[06:40] <Lil_Shank> can anyone help me configure my computer so it will use my dsl modem to connect to the internet?
[06:40] <Al-Ashtar> dist-upgrade handles better dependances
[06:40] <Al-Ashtar> errr I need my spell checking feature
[06:40] <end_us> Lil_shank: plug it into the modem and voila?
[06:40] <Jbirk> end-us, that happens to me all the time.  If I play a DVD via selecting /dev/hdc it does that
[06:40] <morphix> Lil_Shank: what type of dsl modem? usb, ethernet?
[06:41] <end_us> Jbirk: hrm.. any way to not make it do it? i cant even see whats on the disk ..
[06:41] <Lil_Shank> morphix: it uses both, I would prefer to use the usb but when i checked it said there wasnt a way to configure the usb
[06:41] <cdew4545> i have another question....do all of you use gcc to compile?
[06:41] <morphix> Lil_Shank: use ethernet instead of usb, its better
[06:41] <ardchoille> cdew4545: What are you compiling?
[06:42] <Goblyn> is there any way to make evolution minimize to the system tray?
[06:42] <Lil_Shank> morphix: how can i configure the ehternet to connect?
[06:42] <cdew4545> well its seems like a lot of programs i try to get for linux make you install first
[06:42] <Jbirk> Well, with me, if I stop any application accessing the devices directly, I can mount the device
[06:42] <cdew4545> er compile them first
[06:42] <end_us> weird .. i dont think its doing anything at all right now ..
[06:42] <ardchoille> cdew4545: Check the repos before installing. Many people compile and then later find out the app was in the repos
[06:43] <morphix> Lil_Shank: depends on your modem, could u give some more info? brand, model, etc
[06:43] <ardchoille> s/installing/compiling/
[06:43] <cdew4545> ok
[06:43] <one_stinky_bum> hello folks
[06:43] <one_stinky_bum> what's the best tablet PC for ubuntu?
[06:43] <end_us> Lil-shank: dont umm.. doesent it just do it for you .. like when you plug it in ?
[06:43] <Lil_Shank> end_us: it doesnt for some reason
[06:44] <end_us> gotcha
[06:44] <cdew4545> also... by chance does anyone out there use a dlink 520 wireless card??? i have tried so hard to get that to work but dont knwo what im doing wrong, so i have to use windows to access the web for everything
[06:44] <Stegozor> Hi everyone, I swtiched to GNU/Linux -Ubuntu dapper a few days ago. I'm having problems with dosemu. Did anyone here install it from Synaptic?
[06:44] <one_stinky_bum> nobody knows about tablet pcs?
[06:44] <ardchoille> cdew4545: I have been using Ubuntu since Hoary, on 11 machines. I also build computers, install Ubuntu and donate them.. I've not had to compile anything yet :)
[06:45] <morphix> one_stinky_bum: i reckon most would work fine
[06:45] <end_us> one_stinky_bum: no man. not this guy at least
[06:45] <one_stinky_bum> ok
[06:45] <scrappy_> Stegozor: its in multiverse assuming you have that enabled it should just install
[06:45] <cdew4545> ardchoille:  probably jsut my lack of experience with linux and installing files....I have my computer in a location where i have to have wireless internet and i havent gotten that to work for ubuntu yet so i have to run windows for everything basically
[06:45] <Jbirk> Has anyone here ever tired palying Xvid?
[06:46] <one_stinky_bum> but I currently have the gateway m280
[06:46] <poison> stegozor I could not get dosemu to work but I did get dosbox to work
[06:46] <one_stinky_bum> the digitizer doesn't work
[06:46] <morphix> cdew4545: Dlink DWL-520?
[06:46] <cdew4545> yes morphix
[06:46] <one_stinky_bum> I was looking for a tablet pc that would work best out of the box with 6.06
[06:46] <one_stinky_bum> I was going to sell my gateway
[06:46] <cdew4545> rev E
[06:46] <DanaG> I have the m685 -- it works nicely.
[06:46] <Stegozor> poison : is it a bug concerning ubuntu ? because  people using other distribs tell on USENET that they use dosemu fine
[06:47] <morphix> cdew4545: rev E1?
[06:47] <dougsko> anyone know why after installing the libdvdcss2 package, i still dont get sound on my one dvd?
[06:47] <cdew4545> morphix:  yep
[06:47] <end_us> one_stinky_bum: just pick one man. it'll be the right one
[06:47] <one_stinky_bum> LOL
[06:47] <Lil_Shank> morphix: my modem is an Actiontec GT701-WG
[06:47] <dougsko> i needed libdvdcss2 to unscramble it, all my other dvds play fine
[06:47] <one_stinky_bum> I already have one, it's not the right one apparently
[06:47] <end_us> =o
[06:47] <morphix> cdew4545: ok, go to, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/DWL-520vE1?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29
[06:48] <TheGame> sup
[06:48] <TheGame> i have to say ubuntu with xgl is the most pleasant os experience
[06:48] <one_stinky_bum> oh well... no help
[06:48] <yossman> yea thegame agree'd
[06:48] <one_stinky_bum> where is that windoze cd
[06:48] <TheGame> one_stinky_bum:  what do u need
[06:49] <one_stinky_bum> I need some help with a tablet pc
[06:49] <TheGame> oh
[06:49] <cdew4545> morphix:  what if a wlan0 already shows up when i install?
[06:49] <one_stinky_bum> I've got a gateway m280 but the digitizer doesn't work
[06:49] <TheGame> does any1 know if theres a touchpad setup in ubuntu
[06:49] <cdew4545> morphix:  does that mean it already recognizes the card?
[06:49] <one_stinky_bum> so I was wondering if there was a "best" tablet pc for ubuntu
[06:49] <TheGame> oh
[06:49] <Stegozor> going to bed, see you soon
[06:49] <dougsko> TheGame: yeah theres a synaptic package i think
[06:49] <TheGame> oh really
[06:49] <gutano> can I do a server install from a desktop install disk? (I'm out of CD's, and I'd rather get my install going tonight)
[06:49] <TheGame> let me open up syn
[06:50] <dougsko> TheGame: theres an article in the wiki about it i think
[06:50] <morphix> cdew4545: it might, but doesnt mean it will properly, i had that with a buffalo wireless card.
[06:50] <TheGame> which wiki dougsko
[06:50] <dougsko> the ubuntu wiki, its like wiki.ubuntu.org
[06:50] <TheGame> ok ill check it out
[06:51] <Jbirk> Sorry to bother you, but what is xgl?
[06:51] <TheGame> theres ksynaptics and qtsynaptics
[06:51] <cdew4545> morphix:  I will run through that again, but im pretty sure I already tried that.  Does it matter if the network is encrypted or not?  In ubuntu it always seems to want a key, but i live out in the country and only am keeping my wireless router here for another week so i didnt bother with encryption
[06:51] <morphix> Lil_Shank: i assume u normally connect through USB and use PPP login in windows??
[06:51] <robert_> is there a ubuntu guide to configuring Kerberos V?
[06:51] <dougsko> Jbirk: its eyecandy stuff
[06:51] <TheGame> ill try qsynaptics
[06:52] <dougsko> TheGame: k=kde, qt=gnome
[06:52] <TheGame> on to my next question
[06:52] <dougsko> TheGame: for the most part
[06:52] <TheGame> how do i disable system beep
[06:52] <c0rrupt`> hi has anyone tried the ac97 audio drivers for realtek ?
[06:52] <dougsko> TheGame: somewhere in the sounds setup i think
[06:52] <one_stinky_bum> :(
[06:52] <gutano> qt = gnome?  O.o
[06:52] <c0rrupt`> i recently installed them, and alsamixer crashes when run now
[06:52] <morphix> cdew4545: shouldnt matter at all as long as u configure everything properly
[06:52] <meeko> Does Ubuntu have a strings command?
[06:52] <meeko> like every other distro I've used in my life
[06:52] <TheGame> ya it was in sound]
[06:52] <Lil_Shank> morphix: yes, but i use the ethernet as well
[06:52] <TheGame> i guess i never really looked
[06:53] <morphix> c0rrupt`: which ones? there are plenty drivers... i have a realtek
[06:53] <dougsko> gutano: i said sort of. its built on the qt libraries
[06:53] <ardchoille> dougsko: that's not true. qt != gnome and "k" doesn't always mean a kde app
[06:53] <morphix> Lil_Shank: so both ways u use a PPP login?
[06:53] <Gog123> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1165754797197197496
[06:53] <dougsko> ardchoille: i said *sort of*
[06:53] <Gog123> first time ive seen mark shuttleworth speak
[06:53] <dougsko> i knew i was gonna catch heck for that
[06:53] <Jbirk> What makes XGL worth the effort of installing it?
[06:54] <Lil_Shank> morphix: yes, but when i configured it on a different machine (different version of ubuntu) it let me use it without the PPP
[06:54] <gutano> dougsko: kde is built on the qt library... gnome is built _primarily_ on the gtk library (although gtk is widely used outside gnome)
[06:54] <gutano> hehe
[06:54] <morphix> Lil_Shank: if u put the modem in non-bridge mode and use ethernet u would just have to plug the ethernet cable into ur pc and viola
[06:55] <gutano> was just reading your catch heck line... don't mean to hastle you for not caring if you always say things exactly right
[06:55] <erisco> good evening everyone, I have an issue regarding haulting ubuntu 6.06 and powering off the computer
[06:55] <Lil_Shank> morphix: how do i set it up as non-bridge mode
[06:55] <gary[ubuntu] > !dvd
[06:55] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[06:55] <erisco> I will either use the GUI or manually type in halt -p
[06:55] <yossman> Jbirk> What makes XGL worth the effort of installing it?
[06:55] <yossman> man.  it is one of the coolest desktop extentions i've ever used
[06:55] <TheGame> hmm
[06:55] <erisco> however, the screen will nearly instantly turn black and the power is never turned offf
[06:55] <yossman> on a computer
[06:56] <gutano> can I do a server install from a desktop install disk? (I'm out of CD's, and I'd rather get my install going tonight)
[06:56] <Jbirk> I kind of want a list of what it does?  Does it do fancy Macintosh type stuff?
[06:56] <yossman> Xgl + compiz + cgwd is very cool
[06:56] <yossman> it gets cooler every day
[06:56] <cbx33> yossman, I agree
[06:56] <morphix> Lil_Shank: i honestly dont know, go into the web interface of the modem to change it
[06:56] <cbx33> vvveerrryyy coool
[06:56] <dougsko> so does anybody have any idea why lidvdcss unscrambles my dvd fine, but there's still no sound?
[06:56] <erisco> I can't tell if ubuntu has safely halted or not, and it is still a bother with the power not turning off because then I have to pull the plug every time
[06:56] <ardchoille> Jbirk: You'd have to read up on XGL to see if it suits you. I feel that XGL is nothing more than a resource wasting toy.
[06:56] <yossman> i showed it to like 20 people the other day
[06:56] <yossman> i spun the cube desktop and they're all WOA
[06:56] <yossman> 'can i get a copy of that!'
[06:56] <cbx33> heheh
[06:56] <erisco> does anyone have an resources or knowledge of situations like this?
[06:56] <yossman> and then they ask how much it is
[06:56] <genpatton7> hello, I just installed ubuntu on my WD external HD and my computer won't recognize it
[06:56] <yossman> they're like .. what do you mean free
[06:56] <Lil_Shank> morphix: i tried but it says it cant connect to a server, is there a way to bring up that in the terminal?
[06:56] <yossman> what?
[06:56] <erisco> I am thinking it is simply compatibility with my computer, which is an AMD
[06:57] <genpatton7> any ideas?
[06:57] <erisco> not a 64 bit processor
[06:57] <yossman> genpatton, have you told your BIOS to boot from USB HDDs
[06:57] <neunhundertsechs> ive installed the nvidia driver, and now its frozen...how can i restore ?
[06:57] <morphix> Lil_Shank: so u tried goin in firefox and going to http://<IP_ADDRESS> ?? with the modem plugged in via ethernet
[06:57] <erisco> Windows on this computer (it dual boots) is completely capable of restarting and shutting off the computer
[06:57] <Lil_Shank> morphix: yes, but without the http://
[06:57] <erisco> unforunately ubuntu is not
[06:57] <genpatton7> yossman: BIOS doesn't recognize it
[06:58] <erisco> can anyone help me here or am I wasting my time?
[06:58] <yossman> erisco, it sounds like a problem with the power management on your machine
[06:58] <yossman> erisco, check for a BIOS firmware update ?
[06:58] <dougsko> erisco: does the reboot command work?
[06:58] <yossman> genpatton, well
[06:58] <yossman> that might be an issue
[06:58] <erisco> dougsko:no
[06:58] <yossman> not sure if you can do that with GRUB or not
[06:58] <TheGame> stupid qsynaptics doesnt work
[06:58] <PurpleTen> anyone know a webproxy site?
[06:58] <yossman> does anyone know, can grub install to hdd1 in the system and tell the system to boot from USB next?
[06:59] <yossman> to help genpatton7
[06:59] <end_us> erisco: i can'  thelp you
[06:59] <neunhundertsechs> ive installed the nvidia driver, and now its frozen...how can i restore the old setting?
[06:59] <TheGame> how do i disable the touchpad
[06:59] <erisco> yossman:Windows has no issue shutting off and restarting the computer. I think it would be compatibility between ubuntu and my power management, but not solely the power management
[06:59] <TheGame> just remove the driver?
[06:59] <gutano> erisco: the kernel you are using probably doesn't have the correct power management functions compiled in, if this is a stock ubuntu kernel, your choices are to install your own outside the package manager, roll your own package, look for someone else to give you a package (if they have fixed a similar issue), or deal with it....  depending on your level of motivation and technical skill (I may have missed an approach)
[06:59] <genpatton7> yossman: Windows doesn't recognize the drive now either
[06:59] <yossman> erisco, so yea maybe ubuntu doesn't know your system's particular APM management
[06:59] <yossman> genpatton, and it won't, no
[07:00] <yossman> erisco, actually heh that might be it, if your system uses APM instead of ACPI that could be a problem
[07:00] <erisco> gutano yossman, so my solutions are to find what my APM management version or type is
[07:00] <yossman> erisco, do a search on ubuntuforums.org for your motherboard
[07:00] <yossman> brand, model
[07:00] <yossman> see if anyone else has similar issues
[07:00] <dougsko> erisco: yeah thats a tough one, that might even be a kernel problem. does dmesg give any clues?
[07:00] <yossman> you could also expand that search to google.com
[07:01] <gutano> erisco: it is a simple option in the kernel... usually not very hardware specific
[07:01] <loopout> Anyone willing to answer a  'install-css.sh' question?
[07:01] <erisco> gutano, what are you suggesting then
[07:01] <ardchoille> yossman: Can you form complete sentences please? Your filling up my buffer needlessly :)
[07:01] <neunhundertsechs> how i can uninstall the nvidia drivers ? ive now only the console
[07:01] <neunhundertsechs> how i can uninstall the nvidia drivers ? ive now only the console
[07:01] <c0rrupt`> does anyone know why..
[07:01] <erisco> dougsko, pardon my ignorance, what is dmesg?
[07:01] <majd_> !ssh
[07:01] <ubotu> ssh is the Secure SHell protocol (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHHowto). Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows, which can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[07:01] <gutano> I would compile a kernel from source
[07:02] <c0rrupt`> nvidia drivers require 2.6.15-23?
[07:02] <c0rrupt`> im using 2.6.15-26 now
[07:02] <morphix> !xorg
[07:02] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:02] <c0rrupt`> and it keeps trying to install old kernel source
[07:02] <Jbirk> wow
[07:02] <yossman> ard i'll try to remember ;)
[07:02] <Jbirk> I looked it up on google videos, XGL is awsome
[07:02] <ardchoille> yossman: Thank you :)
[07:02] <Jbirk> Sweet ALT tab
[07:02] <dougsko> erisco: its messages that the system prints during boot up/down
[07:02] <Jbirk> and cube thing
[07:02] <Jbirk> and the windows wiggle when moved
[07:02] <dougsko> just type dmesg in a shell
[07:02] <morphix> !nvidia > neunhundertsechs
[07:03] <yossman> ard, the nature of IRC is a bit disjointed anyway .. so ;)
[07:03] <c0rrupt`> ?..
[07:03] <erisco> dougsko, is this a log? or is it shown on the screen? if it is on the screen, I never get a 'boot down' screen, it just turns black
[07:03] <c0rrupt`> nvidia-glx needs 2.6.15-23??
[07:03] <c0rrupt`> wtf
[07:03] <ardchoille> yossman: ok, I'll just put you on my iggy list, no problem :)
[07:03] <dougsko> its also good for when you plug in a usb device or something and you want to know the name of it so you can mount it
[07:03] <morphix> c0rrupt`: no it shouldnt.
[07:03] <loopout> Anyone willing to answer a  'install-css.sh' question?  it errors out saying 'no acceptable C compiler in $path
[07:03] <c0rrupt`> ok well
[07:03] <c0rrupt`> i have <IP_ADDRESS> completly removed
[07:03] <Lil_Shank> should i try restarting the computer with the modem plugged in to the ethernet connection?
[07:03] <c0rrupt`> and now i type
[07:03] <yossman> ard, whatever ;)
[07:03] <morphix> loopout: thats a shell script/intaller
[07:03] <c0rrupt`> udo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[07:03] <c0rrupt`> s*
[07:04] <c0rrupt`> The following extra packages will be installed:
[07:04] <c0rrupt`>   linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23-386
[07:04] <c0rrupt`> so wtf?
[07:04] <morphix> just let that install than do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:04] <dougsko> erisco: yeah its a log, just read through it and if youve booted up or down recently enough, youll see all the stuff your system was doing during the boot
[07:04] <dougsko> erisco: then you might be able to tell what its doing last
[07:05] <c0rrupt`> ok ill try that morphix
[07:05] <erisco> dougsko, that is a great idea. do you know the abouts of the log?
[07:05] <c0rrupt`> dist-upgrade didnt do anything
[07:05] <c0rrupt`> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[07:05] <dougsko> erisco: just type, "dmesg"
[07:05] <dougsko> but it's also in /var/log/dmesg i think
[07:06] <loopout> morphix - yea, it errors out though saying 'no accepatble C compiler in $path' what C compiler should I install?
[07:06] <slid3r> sorry had a little crash there
[07:06] <genpatton7> Why does my external HD not show up in Windows after installing Ubuntu to it?
[07:06] <erisco> dougsko, what would I be looking for? I see things about APCI
[07:06] <Tonren> Hey guys, whenever I access external media (hard drives, flash memory, MP3 players, etc) and I delete something, it moves the files into a special trash folder ON THE external media!!! How do I get GNOME to stop doing that?
[07:06] <erisco> dougsko, some bluetooth thing
[07:06] <dougsko> erisco: also, you may want to look in /var/log/messages, /var/log/error something, basically, theres a bunch of logs in /var/log that *might* prove useful
[07:06] <c0rrupt`> hmm
[07:06] <Tonren> genpatton7: By default, Windows cannot recognize the filesystem used by Linux (ext3)
[07:06] <morphix> loopout: i dont know why a shell script would be saying that, gcc is the normal compiler for building
[07:06] <dougsko> erisco: i dont know, maybe some sort of errors
[07:07] <anzio_> Does anyone know what ports the default Ubuntu client uses?
[07:07] <Tonren> genpatton7: http://www.fs-driver.org/
[07:07] <dougsko> erisco: or maybe whats going on right before the system hangs
[07:07] <genpatton7> Tonren: Any way to boot from that HD or set up a dual-boot?
[07:07] <loopout> configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
[07:07] <loopout> See `config.log' for more details.
[07:07] <loopout> make: *** [build-stamp]  Error 1
[07:07] <erisco> dougsko, this is a log of when I last turned on? Or last turned off?
[07:07] <anzio_> !bittorrent
[07:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bittorrent - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:07] <c0rrupt`> morphix, did what u said. ran nividia-glx-config enable
[07:07] <c0rrupt`> and restarted x server
[07:07] <c0rrupt`> still not running on nvidia. wtfz0r
[07:08] <Tonren> genpatton7: Hmm... I'm not sure how you'd go about dual-booting, since I use Ubuntu's default boot loader setup that happens when you partition your hard drive.
[07:08] <dougsko> erisco: last turned it on, i think, i kind of forget
[07:08] <Tonren> genpatton7: In fact, I'm not sure if you CAN set up your computer to boot from a USB hard drive (assuming your external is USB).
[07:08] <morphix> hmm
[07:08] <TheGame> any1 know how to disable the touchpad
[07:08] <end_us> how the heck do you become the root user in terminal in ubuntu!
[07:08] <yossman> he needs to check his bios
[07:08] <morphix> end_us: sudo su
[07:08] <Tonren> !tell end_us about sudo
