[00:00] <misterecs> ARTHURARCHNIX ==> Yes, I'm in that window now.
[00:00] <davubunt1> tuxfield: can you help me with a problem I have that relates to spanish information
[00:00] <TuxField> the repositories of treviño for Gutsy??
[00:00] <TuxField> yes
[00:01] <knoppix> oh and is there an add on for firefox that make it open sites like IE cause the site of my university suport only IE
[00:01] <hash> hi again :) is there a way to check what button of mice is binded to what, I mean pressing well getting something else?
[00:01] <red22> i just updated a bunch of packages and now firefox won't start up.  my desktop icon (to my hard drive) is gone also. any ideas what is wrong?
[00:01] <red22> (i updated only the things ubuntu automatically told me needed updating)
[00:01] <red22> i'd try searching online but firefox won't start up.. how can i see a process manager pls?
[00:01] <hash> !mice
[00:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mice - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:01] <Jamiesss> u think /etc /home /usr /var will be enuff ?
[00:02] <ArthurArchnix> misterecs: Ok, it sounds like your in the network manager window. That's connected with /etc/network/interfaces I think. 7.04 is different from 7.10, so I can't try any of this myself. But can you post the output of "cat /etc/network/interfaces" without quotes
[00:02] <hash> !mouse
[00:02] <ubotu> Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[00:02] <frojnd> knoppix,  can u give me the link of your university please ?
[00:02] <davubunt1> tuxfield: I don't speak spanish very well. I am in Nicaragua and I know a guy who wants to set up an education centre with edubuntu and thinstations. His sys-admin only speaks spanish. Can you provide me with some spanish reference links that I can give her for setting up edubuntu on thinstations?
[00:02] <knoppix> ok but i hope you know hebrew
[00:02] <knoppix> :)
[00:02] <misterecs> ArthurArchnix ==> Will do, one moment.
[00:02] <davubunt1> tuxfield: apparently the edubuntu manual is only in english
[00:02] <distatica> knoppix: such a thing exists, but it's only for windows (And I think os/x) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419
[00:02] <knoppix> ye i know its only for windows
[00:03] <hash> is there a way to check what button of mice is binded to what, I mean pressing well getting something else?
[00:03] <stroogle_> soundray - good one, kubuntu rocks, thanks
[00:03] <distatica> well, you _are_ asking in an ubuntu channel, so who knows ;)
[00:03] <knoppix> i hoped that there is one unoficial for ubuntu 2
[00:03] <distatica> ahh
[00:03] <nickrud> Jamiesss: my backups are for my data, I'm comfortable with the idea of a reinstall; I do the etc home var usr/local and menu.lst since that's where any configs/data would be; the only thing extra I do is dpkg --get-selections > ~/archive/package.list prior to a backup so I have a record of my package state
[00:03] <slylock> ArthurArchnix:  sorry mate asking again
[00:03] <distatica> IE explorer would need to be installed. Is it ActiveX components that your uni uses?
[00:04] <jimjam> When plugging in an external drive, I get an error message that says "Unable to get a lock on /media/.hal-mtab". Any idea what that means?
[00:04] <slylock> ArthurArchnix: helix is for ubuntu as well
[00:04] <hash> is there a way to check what button of mice is binded to what, I mean pressing wheel getting something else?
[00:04] <distatica> or is it just failing because it doesn't detect IE? Some sites will do that, although they work fine if you send IE as your user agent.
[00:04] <knoppix> look i solved thoes problems for myself by installing VMware
[00:04] <slylock> ArthurArchnix: ??
[00:04] <ArthurArchnix> Yeah. Just go to add/remove, its a supported app in the repos.
[00:04] <knoppix> but for me it's not a solution
[00:04] <WorkingOnWise> is there a specific team within Ubuntu that handles the "look and feel" of Ubuntu. Themes, sound schemes, icons, that stuff?
[00:04] <knoppix> i want ubuntu only on my system
[00:05] <knoppix> dont want windows on it
[00:05] <Jamiesss> will i need 2 backup my /sys dir?
[00:05] <ArthurArchnix> slylock: Response above.
[00:05] <RobD> knoppix: you can get IE running under Wine ... Version 6 at least ... Google has more
[00:05] <distatica> knoppix: again, is there ActiveX objects on your Uni website that need to run? Because it could be failing because it expects the IE user agent to be sent, some sites (not very many) will work if you just send that user agent.
[00:06] <knoppix> i have vmware server
[00:06] <Freaky_T> WorkingOnWise, they have some stuff kind of about that on their site https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork
[00:06] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: you there?
[00:06] <distatica> or do whta RobD suggests.
[00:06] <nickrud> Jamiesss: no, that's dynamic. sbackup will also exclude /proc and /dev
[00:06] <WorkingOnWise> Freaky_T: ty
[00:06] <hash> is there a way to check what button of mice is binded to what, I mean pressing wheel getting something else?
[00:06] <knoppix> dont know
[00:07] <knoppix> i will talk to the university admin tommorow
[00:07] <misterecs> ARTHURARCHNIX ==> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45433/
[00:07] <knoppix> 10 any way
[00:07] <abcent> RobD: don't you need wine, and wine-doors?
[00:07] <red22> after the last update, i no longer have an icon for my windows partition in "computer:///". anyone else have this problem?  how do i fix this pls?
[00:07] <WorkingOnWise> knoppix: I have had good luck with Ies4 linux...ever IE7
[00:07] <knoppix> any1 know how can i fix the open office problem?
[00:07] <WorkingOnWise> even IE7
[00:07] <distatica> knoppix: http://blog.wired.com/wiredphotos37/2007/07/user-agent-swit.html
[00:08] <distatica> See if you can access the site using that add on, if you switch to IE user agent. Then see if everything works properly.
[00:08] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix:  at the boot menu, when I click on Microsoft Windows Whistler Personal, it just says that it cant find it on the disk and makes me go back to the menu
[00:08] <RobD> abcent: yup. Not sure bout WineDoors.
[00:08] <Jamiesss> backups r so handy
[00:08] <Jamiesss> linux rox like
[00:08] <Jamiesss> i will need 2 get a network storage drive that works i currently have a netgear s101 n its crap
[00:09] <abcent> RobD: I've just gone through the pain of running M$ apps .... and required both
[00:09] <Jamiesss> i should have go 1 that supported linux
[00:09] <GRiMReAPeR> sup guys
[00:09] <Jamiesss> might b able to use it with crossover
[00:09] <GRiMReAPeR> hey i have a question
[00:10] <RobD> abcent: this, to save a lot of hassle, is why I run windows under VMWare :-)
[00:10] <misterecs> ARTHURARCHNIX ==> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45433/
[00:10] <GRiMReAPeR> up till now....wat are the games not playable on ubuntu? cause i tried the lvie cd thing and exes didnt work..
[00:10] <ArthurArchnix> misterecs: That looks ok to me... but then, I'm using gutsy. paste the output of "ifconfig -a"
[00:10] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob:
[00:10] <abcent> RobD: I've never tried VMWare
[00:11] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Post the output of "fdisk -l" and "cat /grub/boot/menu.lst" and let me know if you can boot ubuntu, but just xp is failing to boot.
[00:11] <GRiMReAPeR> anyone know?
[00:11] <red22> last set of package updates break anything for anyone? like automounting drives?
[00:11] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: ok...
[00:11] <distatica> GRiMReAPeR: .exe's are not an executable under linux like they are on windows. They are built for windows and won't run natively on a *nix machine. You need some sort of emulator (incorrect term for wine) that pretends to be windows, even then it's hit or miss.
[00:11] <GRiMReAPeR> cause im a gamer and i would rather not go to ubuntu if it wont run my games..
[00:12] <GRiMReAPeR> hmm
[00:12] <GRiMReAPeR> yea....wine..
[00:12] <GRiMReAPeR> not so sure about that thing
[00:12] <GRiMReAPeR> lol
[00:12] <RobD> abcent: for me it's the best way to run Windows specific bits without wrestling with Wine
[00:12] <nickrud> GRiMReAPeR: dual boot, wine is ok with some games, but never adequate
[00:12] <distatica> GRiMReAPeR: What games, what kind of system? I remember the game days, and setting it up under linux wasn't my most enjoyable time.
[00:12] <RobD> abcent: but each to their own
[00:12] <distatica> getting it towrk ok, it was not easy, and rarely did what I expected.
[00:12] <GRiMReAPeR> bf2..cod4
[00:12] <GRiMReAPeR> all the comptetion ones
[00:12] <distatica> yeah... I would dual boot, if anything.
[00:12] <abcent> RobD: very true :)
[00:13] <ArthurArchnix> !enter GRiMReAPeR
[00:13] <GRiMReAPeR> hmm
[00:13] <red22> grim, if you're trying to game anything beyond minesweeper or solitare, i'd stick to windows for windows games
[00:13] <ArthurArchnix> !enter | GRiMReAPeR
[00:13] <GRiMReAPeR> lol
[00:13] <distatica> You are going to have your hands full, and when things break, or don't work right, well you're in trouble if you don't want to spend some time on it.
[00:13] <GRiMReAPeR> i guess ur right man
[00:13] <ubotu> GRiMReAPeR: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[00:13] <red22> wine isn't so great for anything complex/big/recent
[00:14] <nickrud> wine is for drinking (I admire winehq's effort, but not the concept)
[00:14] <GRiMReAPeR> the one thing thats really good is that it uses alot less resources...which would prob help with the gaming.
[00:14] <misterecs> ARTHURARCHNIX ==> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/
[00:14] <distatica> GRiMReAPeR: I setup Jedi Knight 2, on a 1GHz box, with a crappy i810 graphics card under debian with wine. On windows it ran fine (nothing fancy, but fine) on that setup it ran at like 2FPS. I couldn't even begin to play.
[00:14] <red22> did the last packages update cause ppl trouble this week?
[00:14] <distatica> not to mention it took me hours to get to that point. ;)
[00:15] <GRiMReAPeR> hmm, see i have a 8800...so i really wanna get an os thatll let me use the most of my pc as i can
[00:15] <misterecs> ARTHURARCHNIX ==> BE RIGHT BACK . . . SORRY.
[00:15] <misterecs> brb
[00:15] <knoppix> there is some thing better than wine : 1) crossover office  (only the try out version is free) 2) VMware server/player (free)
[00:15] <distatica> GRiMReAPeR: yeah, but windows is a decent platform for games, and unfortunately companies aren't making too many linux games. Talk to your game suppliers though, tell them you want linux support.
[00:15] <josh_> hey all
[00:15] <Ubuntu_Rocks> .
[00:15] <nickrud> ditto
[00:15] <Adriel> Why is it when i get disconnected from a secured wireless network, it would ask back for the passkey again?
[00:15] <distatica> GRiMReAPeR: It sounds nice, until you realize you're running linux AND emulating a windows layer, now you're not using all those resources.
[00:15] <distatica> using/saving*
[00:16] <windego40> can someone help me i cant get into my ipod with ssh... it says "ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 22: Connection refused"

[00:16] <nickrud> ipod via ssh?
[00:16] <PriceChild> windego40, this is for ubuntu support, not ipod
[00:16] <Jamiesss> should it not b smaller ?
[00:16] <gnutron> windego40 - you need a frontend for iptables firewall and open tcp port 22
[00:16] <Jamiesss> bigger **
[00:16] <mkultrax> u can ssh to your ipod? that is wicked
 install windows xp
[00:17] <distatica> GRiMReAPeR: vista, I feel your pain.  lol i actually havent had any prob at all with vista

 i know
[00:22] <misterecs> ARTHURARCHNIX ==> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/
 xp much better
[00:22] <GRiMReAPeR> wat is it with people and vista....im actually happy with it.....its just if theres something better AND its free...why not?? lol
[00:22] <fetenfetenn> jimjam: it's "remount,ro" in that line, not "remount-ro"
[00:22] <nickrud> jimjam: you shouldn't need anything in fstab for an external usb to mount, the system should do it automagically
[00:22] <jimjam> nickrud: Yes, but I want it in a consistent location.
[00:22] <tds5016> can someone please help me get direct rendering on this machine?
[00:22] <jimjam> fetenfetenn: Thanks.

[00:23] <distatica> GRiMReAPeR: almost every single computer professional I've met can't stand the OS. A particular issue I've heard about is something called virtual folders, although I have no clue what the heck that is.
[00:23] <distatica> it sounded annoying though.
 well i have a laptop duo 2GB with 1GB mem so its to havy for my pc
[00:23] <nickrud> jimjam: go ahead and mount it, right click it on the desktop and select properties, then on the volume tab, enter disk under the mount point

[00:27] <EvilAIM> so, any ideas?
[00:27] <distatica> knoppix: run a server of some kind, the ports need to be opened through a firewall.
[00:27] <EvilAIM> I've even tried to remove it
[00:28] <EvilAIM> apt-get remove totem-plugin-vi
[00:28] <nickrud> EvilAIM: try killall totem-plugin-vi<tab> <-- hit the tab key, it should fill out the name for you
[00:28] <EvilAIM> and it doesn't show up
[00:28] <jimjam> fetenfetenn: After changing that part to remount,ro; I still get the same error. Here's my fstab again, after changes: http://pastebin.ca/793173
[00:28] <knoppix> ok this is strange
[00:28] <gnutron> !iptables
[00:28] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[00:28] <EvilAIM> neat...
[00:28] <EvilAIM> it's totem-plugin-viewer
[00:28] <NemesisD> hi all, im having some trouble booting into ubuntu lately. booting the normal way doesn't work, booting in recovery mode and then starting gdm works about 50% of the time, but I get an error "couldn't initialize hal" when im actually up and running
[00:28] <knoppix> i connected a pc with XP on it with emule and it wont connect either
[00:29] <red22> does ubuntu have a graphical mounting tool?  or you still need to edit fstab manually?
[00:29] <LjL> knoppix, all ports are open by default. it might be your modem/router closing them, in which case you should consult its manual.
[00:29] <misterecs> ArthurArchnix ==> Are we still good? Any Ideas? My post is at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/

[00:29] <misterecs> ArthurArchnix ==> Are we still good? Any Ideas? My post is at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/
[00:29] <distatica> knoppix: alternatively, if it's not your router/modem, it could be your ISP blocking certain ports.
[00:29] <knoppix> my modem dont have a router i have a npls  connection
[00:29] <nickrud> EvilAIM: ok, that's used by firefox to view inline video; killall totem-plugin-viewer
[00:29] <PriceChild> LjL, knoppix, no ports are open by default... but if you install an app that listens then it won't be blocked.
[00:29] <EvilAIM> thanks
[00:29] <EvilAIM> I did that
[00:30] <EvilAIM> anyway to stop that?
[00:30] <knoppix> ok got it
[00:30] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: So, now we got ubuntu booting from the first disc, and xp on the second disc, but that's not booting is it?
[00:30] <knoppix> ports will open when i need them
[00:30] <windego40> gnutron: i checked ssh and dhcp but im a little new to using the terminal... how do i format the ip ?
[00:30] <PriceChild> knoppix, if you install apache... it'll open port 80 for example... and nothing will block it
[00:30] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: correct
[00:30] <LjL> PriceChild: well if there's no service listening, of course the connection will be refused, but that's what i meant :P
[00:31] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: see in the menu.lst where it says Windows Whistler?
[00:31] <nickrud> EvilAIM: sure, use mozilla-mplayer :) I don't care much for the totem plugin, I install that one and remove totem-mozilla
[00:31] <knoppix> got it
[00:31] <ArthurArchnix> misterecs: I've seen your post, but am working on something else right now. You can wait a bit or put your question to the channel. If you ask your question again be sure to mention that you're using Feisty, that lspci can detect your card, but that ifconfig -a doesn't show it.
[00:32] <gnutron> windego40 - you use the account name you use then type ssh -l username xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[00:32] <Ubuntu_Rocks> LjL: How can I stealth the ports with firestarter.
[00:32] <misterecs> ArthurArchnix ==> Got it, thanks.
[00:32] <LjL> Ubuntu_Rocks: no idea, never used firestarter
[00:32] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Yeah. Windows has issues with being second in line. Importance complex or something. We need to trick it into thinking its first.
[00:32] <Ubuntu_Rocks> k
[00:32] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: is that supposed to be there?
[00:32] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: It's just a title, it doesn't mean anything.
[00:32] <knoppix> can any1 try to connect to a server on the donkey net it called razorback 3.0 its address is <IP_ADDRESS>:5000
[00:32] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: lol, sounds good
[00:32] <windego40> k
[00:33] <knoppix> i want to check if the server is working at all
[00:33] <gnutron> windego40 - netstat -tunap should show port 22  listening, sudo iptables -L needs to show ACCEPT ssh
[00:33] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: what next?
[00:33] <fetenfetenn> jimjam are you there? the line still looks the same
[00:34] <cptinternet> Having issues with an intersil prism 2.5 wireless card, refuses to resolve the wireless network
[00:34] <windego40> gnutron: thanks a lot for your help i gtg though
[00:35] <distatica> When I run the command listed on EasyUbuntu to update apt with the medibuntu GPG key, it gives me the error gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. I didn't get a 404, so I'm not sure why this would be..
[00:35] <gnutron> windego40 : cool.
[00:35] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45437/ I made some changes that I think might work.
[00:35] <red22> will anyone with a working windows partition that automounts under ubuntu PLEASE post their fstab line regarding that partion pls?
[00:35] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: See the map stuff? That's suppsed to trick windows into thinking its actually disk one.
[00:36] <gnutron> !ntfs
[00:36] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
[00:36] <misterecs> !CHANNEL ==> I cannot connect the internet. system recognizes NIC with "lspci", but not with "ifconfig -a". I'm using Feisty 7.04, ANY HELP?
[00:36] <cptinternet> ubotu: wish I knew about that page when I was trying to automount my second HD...figured it out the other day myself -_-
[00:37] <blackvd> I have two questions: How do I keep gnome from loading two nm-applets(wi-fi) at login? Second and I'm not sure why this just started happening, but I don't have write permission to my microSD card?
[00:37] <red22> gnutron: it was working great until my last automatic package update.. it broke the automounting of my windows drive
[00:37] <bradv> !thanks | cptinternet
[00:37] <ubotu> cptinternet: You're welcome!  I'm using Feisty 7.04, ANY HELP?
[00:38] <distatica> I wouldn't just copy paste that though, but it's an example.
[00:38] <EvilAIM> tx again
[00:38] <RedBand> I am using ubuntu's default cd/dvd burner to burn a dvd with gutsy amd64. Do I choose 'Write to Disc: CDDVD TS-H653N' or 'Write to Disc: File Image'
[00:38] <red22> distatica: yeah of course, thanks a bunch i will look at and see :)
[00:38] <distatica> no problem.
[00:38] <bradv> meoblast001: What do you mean "type of window"?
[00:39] <gnutron> red22: try applications > system tools > ntfs config tool.
[00:39] <meoblast001> so i can exclude gDesklets from Compiz stuff
[00:39] <bradv> RedBand: You can either write directly to a disk or write to a file image (.iso file).
[00:39] <fetenfetenn> RedBand, first option. Second is to make an iso file
[00:40] <PriceChild> red22, guess :)
[00:40] <RedBand> the amd64 gutsy is an iso. I guess you mean choose file image?
[00:40] <fetenfetenn> meoblast001 xwinninfo
[00:40] <misterecs> !CHANNEL ==> I cannot connect the internet. system recognizes NIC with "lspci", but not with "ifconfig -a". I'm using Feisty 7.04, ANY HELP?
[00:40] <bradv> RedBand: Burning an ISO file to another ISO file would be a rather pointless exercise. Write to the disc.
[00:41] <RedBand> oh, okay. both responses confused me.:)
[00:41] <bradv> RedBand: Clear as mud now?
[00:41] <meoblast001> fetenfetenn: bash: xwinninfo: command not found
[00:41] <keith-> i have a dell inspiron 6000 and it repeatedly randomly freezes up... complete freeze... i can't kill X or anything
[00:41] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix:  alright, should i reboot now?
[00:42] <RedBand> I got an error. "There was an error writing to the disc: The recorder could not be accessed."
[00:42] <keith-> has anyone else seen this problem?  and what logs should i check to see what happened before the last reboot?
[00:42] <ArthurArchnix> misterecs:  Your lspci was "0:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Unknown device 10c0", I think that means it doesn't know what driver to load.
[00:42] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: brb
[00:42] <noah_> Can someone help me get an ATI card working?
[00:42] <Creed> Is there an alternative to BIND? Something simpler maybe...
[00:42] <red22> gnutron: i don't have that "ntfs config tool"... you must have manually installed a package for that .. ?
[00:42] <bradv> !ati | noah_
[00:42] <ubotu> noah_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[00:42] <Xenguy> keith-: messages, syslog, kernel - heck, check them all ;-)
[00:43] <noah_> thank you
[00:43] <gnutron> red22 - I wonder if 'sudo mount -a'  works. the package name is ntfs-3g
[00:43] <RedBand> Installing and playing with virtual box screwed up my system (sudo/gksudo no longer works). Could that be the problem
[00:43] <keith-> Xenguy: i have checked those... and i am not seeing anything
[00:43] <misterecs> ArthurArchnix ==> i THINK i've got a Generic Driver from Intel for my integrated NIC, its "Tarballs", would it help if I tried to install that?
[00:43] <Xenguy> keith-: that can happen sometimes
[00:44] <tds5016> can someone help me get direct rendering with fglrx?
[00:44] <ArthurArchnix> misterecs: Yes. You need to do that, OR try this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3370406 OR install gutsy, which has it included already.
[00:44] <tds5016> please?
[00:44] <pipelineaudio> http://www.audioandanarchy.com/showthread.php?p=8964&posted=1#post8964
[00:44] <keith-> Xenguy: but it shouldn't... and it's not just sometimes... it's common
[00:44] <pipelineaudio> those all run good in linux too!
[00:45] <Xenguy> keith-: no, I mean not finding anything obvious in the logs ;-)
[00:45] <pipelineaudio> just finished testing them all under wineasio
[00:45] <red22> distatica: odd, my own fstab line is very similar (diff UUID).. how would i check that the UUID i have corresponds to the correct partition?
[00:45] <keith-> ah
[00:45] <Xenguy> keith-: and you're right, lockups shouldn't happen *period* on linux (IMHO)
[00:45] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: Still says "Selected Disk does not exist"
[00:46] <keith-> Xenguy: eh a lot of stuff on linux in less than stable conditions... and memory leaks can happen... they just tend to get fixed fast
[00:46] <bradv> red22: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[00:46] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: actually, let me mess with the BIOS configurations for a minute...brb
[00:47] <noah_> I got some drivers from the add/remove software in ubuntu. should't i edit the Xorg file or something?
[00:47] <noah_> or judt do what the website says?
[00:47] <noah_> just*
[00:47] <technel> I installed 7.10 on a machine with a ATI Radeon 9800. I had to install xgl to get Compiz to work, and it does, except even with the cube enabled, Ctrl+Alt+Left mouse (hold) doesn't do anything...ideas?
[00:47] <Xenguy> keith-: depends on what distributions you run I suppose =)
[00:48] <meoblast001> how do you merge a file into registry in WINE in gusty
[00:48] <meoblast001> ?
[00:49] <bradv> meoblast001: Open it from within regedit
[00:49] <meoblast001> how do i get to regedit
[00:49] <meoblast001> i cant find it on Gusty
[00:49] <noah_> I ran the commands but it sais i already have the latest drivers
[00:49] <red22> bradv: wow. never seen that one before, ty.
[00:49] <bradv> ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/regedit.exe
[00:50] <meoblast001> k
[00:51] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: Still didnt work
[00:51] <gnutron> writing to the registry from 'nix in wine sounds 'extremely' dangerous...imho.
[00:51] <skyhook> hey, is there any reason why when I set ubuntu to auto-login, the screen is zoomed in, but when I log in normally it isnt?
[00:51] <red22> gnutron: i second that
[00:52] <keith-> herm
[00:52] <Paddy_EIRE> skyhook, what do you mean by zoomed in??
[00:52] <keith-> as this is my girlfriend's laptop and i want it working i guess i will try another distro if i can't figure this out
[00:52] <gnutron> add i hated ATI's fglrx driver.
[00:52] <Paddy_EIRE> Keith, that sort of thinking wont get anything working
[00:52] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: Im sure this is as frustrating to you as it is to me  :)
[00:52] <red22> gnutron: i had ntfs-3g installed.. that program is another package (ntfs-config)
[00:52] <Can0n> Is it possible to make Nautilus to NOT turn my pictures so they are shown the correct way ?  It's a real pain when I'm gonno upload a picture which seems fine in nautilus but when I have uploaded it the picture is turned the wrong way
[00:52] <Paddy_EIRE> Keith, nor will you learn anything
[00:52] <bradv> gnutron: Worst case scenario he has to blow away ~/.wine and start over. It can't affect Linux at all.
[00:53] <gnutron> red22: ah, ok thanks.
[00:53] <skyhook> paddy_EIRE:  Its confusing to explain, but its as if the screen size is slightly bigger than the monitor, and when I go to the edges it scolls over a tiny bit to see the edges
[00:54] <skyhook> paddy_EIRE:  Its really hard to explain
[00:54] <gnutron> bradv : agreed, can hurt nix w/oo root, bt i'd be surprised in windows ever booted again :)
[00:54] <Paddy_EIRE> skyhook, do you have an auto-adjust button on your monitor?
[00:54] <noah_> I try to use aticonfig --initilal to configure the xorg to use my grafix card but it says aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor.
[00:54] <skyhook> Paddy_EIRE: Yes, and that doesnt fix it
[00:54] <Jangari> any ideas on a good offline blog editor?
[00:54] <cptinternet> what's the apt-get command for the Ubuntu dev library?
[00:54] <UbuntMe> Hi
[00:54] <Jangari> it'd be good if gedit could post to a blog
[00:54] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: you get that?
[00:54] <UbuntMe> I have a problem
[00:55] <bradv> !ask | UbuntMe
[00:55] <Paddy_EIRE> skyhook, cant think why right now...
[00:55] <UbuntMe> I cant boot from any cd now
[00:55] <UbuntMe> not vista or ubuntu
[00:55] <Jangari> to search it, cptinternet?
[00:55] <skyhook> Paddy_EIRE: and whats weirder is that when I log in normally everything is fine
[00:55] <Paddy_EIRE> !wont work | UbuntMe
[00:55] <UbuntMe> But I could before
[00:55] <ubotu> UbuntMe: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[00:55] <skyhook> Paddy_EIRE:or if I log out and log back in
[00:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wont work - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:55] <nickrud> skyhook: look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf , see if you have a virtual screen size setting in the Section "Screen" part
[00:55] <Jangari> did you change the boot order, UbuntMe?
[00:55] <elaltillo> holas
[00:55] <TurkeymakesmeFat> Hi, can anyone help me setup my wireless card for my dell latitude D420, i have tried win and it wont work, please help anyone, im in dire need
[00:56] <cptinternet> Jangari: need the dev packages for compiling source (trying to get the WLAN drivers, found a source for 'em, forgot the command for dev package
[00:56] <Paddy_EIRE> skyhook, have you compared the resolutions?
[00:56] <UbuntMe> I duno how
[00:56] <UbuntMe> Well, i think i did
[00:56] <UbuntMe> but i must have messed up because it doent work
[00:56] <bradv> !doesn't work | UbuntMe
[00:56] <ubotu> UbuntMe: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[00:56] <Jangari> probably machine specific command, but before it boots, you need to hold something, proabably F8 or F2
[00:56] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: I did. Hrmm.... it is frustrating. I think you need to take a look at the settings on the physical drives themselves. Are they sata drives?
[00:56] <Jangari> it says right at the start
[00:57] <keith-> okay so here is the problem whoever it was getting on to me for changing distros
[00:57] <UbuntMe> um
[00:57] <UbuntMe> It wont boot
[00:57] <Jangari> oh right
[00:57] <UbuntMe> From the cd
[00:57] <keith-> i can find no data about this freezing
[00:57] <UbuntMe> it just starts up ubuntu
[00:57] <fetenfetenn> UbuntuMe ... what exactly happens when you try to boot from cd
[00:57] <xevil> UbuntMe: go back into your BIOS setup and set it to boot from CD
[00:57] <bradv> !enter | UbuntMe
[00:57] <ubotu> UbuntMe: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[00:57] <multiverse> I cannot connect with my wireless card:
[00:57] <keith-> i can't find someone with it also happening... i can't find anything in the logs
[00:57] <TurkeymakesmeFat> does anyone have a dell latitude d420
[00:57] <keith-> and this is my girlfriend's lappy that she uses for school
[00:57] <UbuntMe> sorry, It just goes straight to ubuntu
[00:57] <skyhook> Paddy_EIRE:Okay that seems to have fixed it.  Its unclear how that would get changed based on how I log in though
[00:58] <UbuntMe> Just like i had no cd in
[00:58] <Night> I can't get CenterICQ installed.  What another way to get Root besides "sudo -s"?
[00:58] <Jangari> oh well, fine, you want to stop it from booting so you can change the default order and tell it to, say, give you the option of windows or ubuntu
[00:58] <mkultrax> sudo bash
[00:58] <mkultrax> su root
[00:58] <bradv> Night: su
[00:58] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: how do I tell for sure if they are SATA?
[00:58] <mkultrax> su -
[00:58] <Paddy_EIRE> skyhook, could be the way your session is being saved?
[00:58] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: when I go to Properties on the drive it says ATA
[00:59] <bradv> Night: If you need to be root to install an ICQ program I suggest you search for another.
[00:59] <UbuntMe> There is no windows on my computer, only ubuntu.  I'm trying to install vista, but when i put in the disk and reboot, nothing hapens.  Ubuntu just comes on
[00:59] <multiverse> Hi,
[00:59] <multiverse> I am having trouble connecting via wireless.  Here is my card:

[00:59] <multiverse> ifconfig says:

[00:59] <multiverse>           inet6 addr: fe80::21c:26ff:fe40:a4ef/64 Scope:Link
[00:59] <TurkeymakesmeFat> ok i got the windows driver for my wireless card, now what, i need help please making my internal wireless card work
[00:59] <multiverse> An ideas?
[00:59] <Delerium> Anyone know a fix to no sound with Gutsy (toshiba Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)) Ive tried removed the linux-sound-base but now i cant reinstall (somewhat new to linux)
[00:59] <Paddy_EIRE> skyhook, when you have it running the way you like it to start on first login hold alt and press f2 then type gnome-save-session
[00:59] <fetenfetenn> UbuntMe, have you changed the boot order in the setup program?
[00:59] <ArthurArchnix> Older drives have wide connections. Sata are smaller. http://zone.ni.com/cms/images/devzone/tut/SATA%20vs%20PATA.png
[00:59] <Jangari> UbuntMe: restart, and look hard for the first thing that pops up on the screen, it should say something like "press F8 for boot order"
[00:59] <skyhook> Paddy_EIRE, possibly, I didnt change any of those settings my self
[00:59] <Jangari> and then you want to make sure that the CD rom boots first
[00:59] <multiverse> Sorry about the scrolling
[00:59] <tigran> Hey. How would I mount a fat32 partition with read/write manually?
[00:59] <skyhook> Paddy_EIRE, okay thanks a bunch
[01:00] <Paddy_EIRE> skyhook, no probs
[01:00] <UbuntMe> Ya, it does,  The cd is in the front \
[01:00] <tim168> how can I "Make as well sure that no printer daemon is running on the  parallel port."  ? thanks
[01:00] <Night> E: Couldn't find package centericq
[01:00] <Night>   What do I do now?
[01:00] <bradv> tigran: man mount. Look for filesystem type vfat.
[01:00] <TurkeymakesmeFat> will someone help me?
[01:00] <livingdaylight> Paddy_EIRE, ok, i stand corrected :D
[01:00] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: See above, and ATA means the master/slave jumper settings have to be correct. If they're both set to master you may have these sorts of trouble.
[01:00] <Paddy_EIRE> livingdaylight, oh.. nice one
[01:00] <tigran> bradv: I have it mounted.  Let Windows fix it.
[01:01] <Jangari> none of them would boot from cd?
[01:01] <red22> that also explains why i apparently was the only person who thought the last update broke automount...
[01:01] <UbuntMe> no
[01:01] <gnutron> red22- that worked for me before.
[01:01] <meoblast001> does Canonical have screenlets in their repositories?
[01:01] <UbuntMe> none, natha
[01:01] <TurkeymakesmeFat> hey ubuntme r u smart?
[01:01] <tigran> bradv: /dev/sda4 /media/Music vfat user,auto 0 0   Thats how it is. But I cannot write to it.
[01:02] <Jangari> and you're certain the boot order has cd first?
[01:02] <UbuntMe> No, are you smart?
[01:02] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: heres a question.  In the menu.lst, for each Ubuntu entry there is a path that leads to a file. Shouldnt there be one for XP also?
[01:02] <Jangari> eh?
[01:02] <UbuntMe> Hey, haha, lol, you have a funny screen name
[01:02] <bradv> tigran: That looks fine. Try unmount it and mount it again. Its possible it failed fsck in the bootup sequence and remounted read-only.
[01:02] <UbuntMe> oh
[01:02] <vas> hey i am trying to just mount a folder on a server through samba, I am using smbmount //<IP_ADDRESS>/vaskaloidis/ but I wanna just mountjust the folder //<IP_ADDRESS>/vaskaloidis/Movies/Included/
[01:02] <UbuntMe> sorry
[01:02] <UbuntMe> yes
[01:02] <red22> bradv: lol.. didn't think of it that way hehe..  that's what it's come down to then :)
[01:02] <vas> It si not working though
[01:02] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: also, it looks like mine are PATA
[01:02] <UbuntMe> woops, sorry
[01:03] <UbuntMe> No :(
[01:03] <bradv> !enter | UbuntMe
[01:03] <ubotu> UbuntMe: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:03] <Jangari> damn straight
[01:03] <UbuntMe> Ya, sorry, i'll keep that in mind
[01:03] <tigran> bradv: sudo mount -a  okay?
[01:03] <vas> any suggestions?
[01:03] <Jack_Sparrow> nomojob: Do you need an example of the windows entry in a menu.lst
[01:03] <ehc> I have a .mov file that has sound but no video. Is there a codec I need for it?
[01:03] <bradv> tigran: umount /dev/sda4. Then run mount -a. Shouldn't need sudo as you have it set to user.
[01:03] <Pelo> vas, did you manage to find what you needed for scripting those info out of your remote ?
[01:04] <Jangari> UbuntMe: you're certain the boot order has cd first?
[01:04] <red22> bradv: where do you get a list of all of those channel commands?
[01:04] <UbuntMe> Maybe?
[01:04] <UbuntMe> 95%
[01:04] <Jangari> well, number one, check that
[01:04] <nomojob> Jack_Sparrow: Sure
[01:04] <bradv> !bot | red22
[01:04] <ubotu> red22: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[01:04] <vas> Pelo: Yes I did, I was reffered to LIRC and IRXECEVENT.. thanks for the hel bud I appreciate it!
[01:04] <Jack_Sparrow> nomojob: one sec
[01:04] <Jangari> do other cds work in the cd rom?
[01:04] <UbuntMe> yes
[01:04] <vas> help** bud
[01:04] <xevil> it's that 5% error that has you...
[01:04] <red22> bradv: oooh. ty.
[01:04] <Jangari> if it aint the boot order, i'd be stumped
[01:04] <Jangari> persoally
[01:04] <UbuntMe> ok
[01:05]  * Pelo gives vas a little more hell
[01:05] <tigran> bradv: It says I need to be root to unmount it...
[01:05] <Jangari> +n
[01:05] <vas> lol
[01:05] <bradv> UbuntMe: Please let us know who you're addressing by using their name in your messages. There's a lot going on here.
[01:05] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Because you're having such a hard time with grub, I think you may have two drives set as master. You need to google the make and model of your hard-drive and find out how to set the plastic jumper on the hd to make one the master, and one the slave.
[01:05] <UbuntMe> By the way,  i'm breaking up with ubuntu.
[01:05] <bradv> tigran: Then sudo umount /dev/sda4.
[01:05] <UbuntMe> ok bradv
[01:05] <vas> Pelo: but do you have a suggestion on hwo I can mount a certain folder in a share with smbmount
[01:05] <fetenfetenn> UbuntuMe, if you can read inside ubuntu the same cds that won't boot, it must be the boot order
[01:05] <Jangari> and you're going for vista?
[01:05] <UbuntMe> Well
[01:05] <UbuntMe> I hate vista
[01:05] <Jangari> right
[01:05] <csc`> and it hates you
[01:05] <UbuntMe> I have a lot of respect for ubuntu
[01:06] <Jangari> it hates all of us,
[01:06] <Ubuntu_Rocks> Vista is now adjar.
[01:06] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: i'll try that.  thanks
[01:06] <Pelo> vas,  I don'T have a working knowledge or samba sorry but cant, you make a symlink ?
[01:06] <UbuntMe> But,  It wont work with sertan things
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> nomojob: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45440/ line 163
[01:06] <Jangari> such as?
[01:06] <tigran> bradv: Still can't write to it.
[01:06] <ArthurArchnix> This wouldn't have caused a problem with only windows installed, since it would get to the first master, see a bootloader, find the files and boot up. At that point, from a fully loaded os it would find the second drive without problem. This is all "my best guess".
[01:06] <UbuntMe> Well, it wont work with my zune
[01:06] <nomojob> Jack_Sparrow: thank you
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[01:06] <bradv> tigran: fsck it
[01:07] <Paddy_EIRE> !lnw > UbuntMe
[01:07] <vas> Pelo: I have a pretty good set up right now, and I finally got this way working, and if I can just tweak it so I just mount a specific folder on my server It'd be better than starting over with a new method, I tried fstab and I ran into too much trouble.. it made the whole OS unstable
[01:07]  * Pelo can'T beleive UbuntMe  said the Z word in this channel
[01:07] <Jack_Sparrow> HI Paddy_EIRE
[01:07] <Paddy_EIRE> Hey Jack_Sparrow
[01:07] <Jangari> does your zune have proprietary software associated with it?
[01:07] <tigran> bradv: fsck /dev/sda ?
[01:07] <Pelo> vas,  there is a #samba
[01:07] <UbuntMe> what?
[01:07] <tigran> bradv: sda4*
[01:07] <UbuntMe> Whats the "Z"  word?
[01:07] <vas> good point, thnx Pelo
[01:07] <UbuntMe> Zune?
[01:07] <bradv> tigran: yes
[01:07]  * Pelo can't belive he said it again
[01:07] <UbuntMe> zip
[01:07] <fetenfetenn> lol
[01:07] <Jangari> do you need specialised software to communicate with it? (yes, zune)
[01:08] <UbuntMe> ohhhh, you said it
[01:08] <tux_> quick question anyone of you know how I can customize the Zsh for the command "ls" to display colors like Bash does?
[01:08] <bradv> Jangari: Yes, Windows.
[01:08] <UbuntMe> what?
[01:08]  * Pelo shoooes UbuntMe  to ##windows where they tolarate taht kind of language
[01:08] <Jangari> hehe
[01:08] <UbuntMe> well, does the z machiene work with ubuntu?
[01:09] <UbuntMe> the z*ne
[01:09] <tigran> bradv: Still can't write :S
[01:09] <Pelo> UbuntMe,  if you can mount it as a usbflash drive therr isn'T any reason it shouldnT'
[01:09] <Paddy_EIRE> UbuntMe, well google is a good place to start.. as are the ubuntu forums :)
[01:09] <bradv> UbuntMe: What does it say on it besides that? Something that starts with an M...
[01:09] <distatica> I just installed my nvidia drivers (geforce3 ti200) using the Restrited drivers manager and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia, and everything looks a LOT nicer than before. Except, now when I open a terminal window its' all white, there's no text, nothing. I can tell it's working because I can right click and get the terminal context menu. Any thoughts?
[01:09] <xevil> UbuntMe: there is just no way you have your setup booting from the CD 1st... that is your problem and until you address that, no progress will you make
[01:09] <Jangari> dunno, haven't got a zune
[01:09] <bradv> tigran: What error message does it give you?
[01:09] <tigran> bradv: When trying to write to it?
[01:10] <Pelo> distatica,  do you mean the gnome-terminal or do you go to console mode ?
[01:10] <UbuntMe> xevil:  are you 100% sure?
[01:10] <bradv> tigran: Yes. You're just saying it doesn't work, without giving details.
[01:10] <xevil> UbuntMe: yep
[01:10] <distatica> gnome terminal
[01:10] <tigran> bradv: Error while copying to "/media/Music". You do not have permissions to write to this folder.
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> xevil: It really has to be a bad drive or it is not set as first boot
[01:11] <tigran> bradv: The fsck did work. No errors. But I still cant write to it.
[01:11] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> distatica, that sounds like a problem in an old version of beryl that was fixed... maybe try disabling desktop effects, restarting, etc
[01:11] <Jangari> UbuntMe: gogle zune linux, there's heaps of resources and people saying that zune runs on linux, that linux supports zune, et cetera
[01:11] <distatica> ok
[01:11] <Pelo> distatica, give xterm a look just to know if this is a problem that is with more then one terminal app or just that one , type xterm in alt+f2
[01:11] <bradv> tigran: Okay, well that's different. sudo umount /dev/sda4. mount /dev/sda4 (as you, not root!)
[01:11] <xevil> Jack_Sparrow: agreed... but he installed Ubuntu somehow...
[01:11] <nT4_> i brazilian users here?
[01:11] <UbuntMe> Anyway, another reason is that ubuntu always messes up on my computer, the sound is all wacky...
[01:11] <nT4_> ops have brazilians uses here?
[01:11] <Pelo> !br | nT4_
[01:11] <ubotu> nT4_: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português.  What I mean by that is the bar that contains minimize/close/maximize buttons.
[01:12] <distatica> I'll try a reboot.
[01:12] <Jack_Sparrow> nT4_: I thought you were about to go looking for a place to hide
[01:12] <UbuntMe> hey, maybe i'll dule boot vista with ubuntu
[01:12] <bradv> distatica: Turn off desktop effects.
[01:12] <UbuntMe> is it hard?
[01:12] <SuperQ> dual
[01:12] <Pelo> distatica,  that is a decorator problem , ask in #compiz-fusion about it , they can tell you how to fix it
[01:12] <multiverse> what is the url that allows me to past my problem into the form?
[01:13] <SuperQ> pastbin
[01:13] <Jack_Sparrow> multiverse: look at topic of channel
[01:13] <tigran> bradv: I still can't. Same thing
[01:13] <distatica> bradv: ok
[01:13] <bradv> !pastebin | multiverse
[01:13] <ubotu> multiverse: 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 (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:13] <Pelo> UbuntMe, ubuntu will make a boot menu when you install with all your OS listed
[01:13] <distatica> Pelo: thanks.
[01:13] <Narissa> SO I did a fresh install of Gutsy, I got my mouse back under Software but there is lots of graphic distortion and graphics disappearing.  Any ideas?
[01:13] <multiverse> thank you
[01:13] <Pelo> Narissa, what videocard do you hve ?
[01:14] <Narissa> Pelo: nVidia GeForce 7300 GT
[01:14] <Jangari> Narissa: restart, if the problem persists, disable the eyecandy
[01:14] <Deleriu1> anyone here familiar with WINE?
[01:14] <Narissa> Jangari: and how would I go about that?
[01:14] <piedownjoe> hey guys...i need some big time help. i just did a fresh install of ubuntu 7.10 and the font sizes in the window title bars are GIGANTIC
[01:14] <UbuntMe> Well, i will try to fix all the stuff you guys helped me with, maybe i'll come back here some time, just maybe.  If I get a dule boot
[01:14] <Pelo> Narissa,  ddiyou install the restricted drivers ?  menu > system > admin> restricted drivers
[01:14] <UbuntMe> So long!  Thanks
[01:14] <UbuntMe> zune
[01:14] <Narissa> I am Del
[01:14] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> Deleriu1, yes... so are the people at #winehq
[01:14] <Pelo> Deleriu1, what do you need to know ?
[01:14] <Narissa> Pelo: yup
[01:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Deleriu1: #winehq has most of those answers
[01:14] <Jangari> um, system, preferences, appearence, desktop effects, select none.
[01:14] <Deleriu1> well
[01:14] <Deleriu1> its about a dependency
[01:14] <Jangari> "desktop effects" may be wrong, but it's the last tab along
[01:15] <Narissa> jangari: that fixed alot
[01:15] <Pelo> Deleriu1, you can add it from the repos it will take care or all the deps
[01:15] <Jangari> but my compiz screwed everything up, restarting fixed it all,
[01:15] <Narissa> jangari: how would I get those effects to work properly ?
[01:15] <Jangari> it just neededto thinkevidently
[01:15] <sirdork> Help can someone help me through this  http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3801701&postcount=5
[01:15] <Jangari> well, try restarting first of all
[01:15] <Narissa> kk
[01:15] <Narissa> will be back
[01:15] <piedownjoe> ah that's so much better
[01:15] <piedownjoe> thanks a ton
[01:15] <Pelo> Narissa, therer is a nvidia settings applet that might help you take care of some of it , and you might want to turn off the effects if you have then on , that might help
[01:16] <Jangari> that worked for me on three seperate installs...
[01:16] <Jangari> gone
[01:16] <Pelo> sirdork,  what is it about ?
[01:16] <piedownjoe> however...does that mean the full visual goodies are unusable or is there a way to work around it?
[01:16] <Deleriu1> @ pelo, what do you mean>? im pretty new to ubuntu and linux in general
[01:16] <sirdork> getting alsa installed from patched source
[01:16] <bradv> tigran: Try adding the option umask=666 to the fstab. And make sure you are not mounting it as root.
[01:16] <Jangari> well, if it's incompatible with the video card, there aint much you can do
[01:16] <Pelo> Deleriu1, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install wine
[01:16] <piedownjoe> ah...hmm
[01:17] <piedownjoe> just like windows vista :P
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Deleriu1: What are you needing to run... in wine
[01:17] <Deleriu1> i did that, it gives me a error about Depends: libaudio2 but is not installable Depends: binfmt-support >=1.1.2 not installable
[01:17] <Pelo> sirdork,  you put those command in a terminal line by line and that's all there is to it from what I can tell
[01:17] <gnutron> tigran: example of my /etc/fstab mounting a  full access fat32 drive. /dev/sdb1 /media/LOCAL\040DISK vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077 0 0

[01:18] <piedownjoe> alright. ill take things from here. thanks so much again
[01:18] <Deleriu1> When i check, libaudio2 is installed
[01:18] <red22> thanks for the help. brb after testing solution...
[01:18] <Narissa> Jangari: much better
[01:18] <Jangari> Narissa: worked?
[01:18] <Narissa> Jangari: yup it's going fine, in fact it was near immediate
[01:18] <sirdork> Pelo that would be nice if it worked like that but it keeps dieing on the config of the libs
[01:18] <Jangari> lemme guess, the issue was that the cube and rotation reduced your workspaces to one, with no way to fix it?
[01:18] <Pelo> Deleriu1, very odd,  go in menu > sytem > admin> synaptic package manager ,  in the menu , select the last but one menu entry ( option I thnk ) select repositories,   check everything on the first tab and on th third tab , checkthe backport one, close and reload the repository from the boot bar,   then use the search button for wine and try agin
[01:19] <Deleriu1> Ok, Sec
[01:19] <tigran> gnutron and bradv: No and No...nothings working.
[01:19] <cptinternet> what are the standard dev packages required to compile a program (generally)?
[01:19] <Pelo> sirdork,  sudo apt-get install build-essential and try again
[01:19] <multiverse> I'm using 7.10 Desktop 64 biyt
[01:19] <Narissa> Jangari: alright so next deal, how do I fix this to get those neat effects up and running properly?
[01:20] <Pelo> multiverse,  what are yo tryi8ng to get working in amd64 ?
[01:20] <cptinternet> Pelo: thanks
[01:20] <Jangari> you installed the gnome compiz manager?
[01:20] <piedownjoe> ah, actually, i have one more issue. it seems my add/remove programs doesnt want to work. lets say i try to check the box to install abiword. i check the box and it asks me to reload the list. i reload the list and it looks fine with no errors. so i check abiword again and it again, asks me to reload the list. this wont stop

[01:20] <Narissa> Jangari: unless it was default no
[01:20] <sirdork> Pelo thanks I hope that does it
[01:20] <distatica> Pelo, bradv, Oni-Dracula; it was 100% the desk effects, thank you. Not to mention now everything runs faster, that's a relief.
[01:21] <Pelo> !wifi | multiverse  did you try this ?
[01:21] <ubotu> multiverse  did you try this ?: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:21] <k1dugar> im new with ubuntu and i wanted to know how i can play MP3 i have ubuntu 7.10
[01:21] <bradv> tigran: There are some pretty good manuals for this sort of thing. Try google your problem and read through what you find.
[01:21] <cptinternet> bah, didn't work, actually
[01:21] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> distatica, not a problem... I think
[01:21] <Pelo> distatica, congrats on selecting thebest helpers in this channel
[01:21] <Narissa> jangari: nope checked synaptic, but doing so now
[01:21] <csc`> happy bustergophechiduckneaealcockidgeoverwingailusharkolanbler day
[01:21] <gnutron> tigran: I missed alot of your 'problem'. is the hdd in question mounted?
[01:21] <csc`> =]
[01:21] <Jangari> yeah
[01:21] <tigran> gnutron: Yes. It mounts. I just cannot write to it.
[01:21] <Jangari> do that
[01:21] <Pelo> cptinternet, that is the standard stuff for compiling manualy
[01:21] <bradv> distatica: Yeah I have the same problem. It used to work, but then I changed video card drivers. Desktop effects was cool for the first week after gutsy came out, after that it wore off.
[01:21] <cptinternet> trying to compile the driver for my wireless card
[01:21] <Vad> How can I get x to re-make my xorg.conf? I deleted mine to reset it, but X doesn't want to make one again.
[01:21] <cptinternet> hrm...
[01:22] <k1dugar> hello
[01:22] <Pelo> cptinternet,  when you do the ./confgure step what do you get ?
[01:22] <gnutron> tigran: is it in your fstab file also?
[01:22] <Narissa> Jangari: alright done
[01:22] <tigran> gnutron: Yes
[01:22] <Jangari> Narissa: you want gnome-compiz-manager
[01:22] <bradv> Vad: You can use dpkg for that, but I don't remember the exact command. Try Google.
[01:22] <cptinternet> Pelo: gives me a bunch of options I should probably read the Readme better about XD
[01:22] <Pelo> Vad,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:22] <k1dugar> is anyone free to help??
[01:22] <Narissa> Jangari: and it's installed via synaptic 8)
[01:22] <Vad> Pelo: thank you
[01:22] <Jangari> okay, be prepared, it's buggy
[01:22] <Pelo> cptinternet,  usualy you read the INSTALL file for the install instructions

[01:23] <Pelo> DrJuano, they won't help , the ops are all snippers
[01:23] <AdemoS> Trying to run a "2Wire PC Port" (usb connection) on Ubuntu. It detects the device when connected, but I don't know where I can browse for the windows drives through the Windows Driver Wrapper
[01:23] <Jangari> then go nuts
[01:23] <DrJuano> wow, this is very strict
[01:23] <Pelo> Deleriu1, where was I directing you ? the repos ?
[01:23] <Adriel> ok... this is weird.... why does my wireless connection get disconnected and it ask for the passkey again
[01:23] <AdemoS> 2Wire PC Port connects from usb to phone line
[01:23] <Deleriu1> you had me in the package manager
[01:24] <Deleriu1> looking for the repositories
[01:24] <multiverse> I will review that now Pelo.
[01:24] <Pelo> Deleriu1,  ok a slighly easier way,  menu > system > admin> software sources
[01:24] <UbuntMe> Uh, hey guys
[01:24] <tigran> gnutron: /dev/sda4 /media/Music vfat  rw,nosuid,nodev,user,auto 0 0
[01:24] <Narissa> Jangari: alright got it and it did exactly as you said 8)
[01:24] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> does anyone know of an easily installed timeclock program for ubuntu?  Not a clock that shows time, but something for workers to clock in and out of.
[01:24] <Pelo> UbuntMe,  what &?
[01:24] <Deleriu1> @ pelo: Ok im there
[01:24] <UbuntMe> So much for my dramatic runaway
[01:25] <UbuntMe> Well, it dident work
[01:25] <UbuntMe> I was right
[01:25] <UbuntMe> the cd was in front
[01:25] <UbuntMe> woops
[01:25] <k1dugar> Ubuntu boot very slow, but when i press ctrl+alt+F1 its fast can anyone tell what could be the problem
[01:25] <Pelo> Oni-Dracula|lapp,  did you check the repos ? try for punchclock
[01:25] <tigran> gnutron: Then I did sudo umount /dev/sda4 and mount /dev/sda4

[01:25] <Vad> Pelo: It's asking me for the amount of memory to be used by my video card. I'm on a Radeon 7500, which has 32MB - what should I specify?
[01:25] <UbuntMe> sorry sorry sorry...
[01:25] <Jangari> Narissa: i've contended with it on three different installs
[01:25] <speedracer> hello
[01:25] <Pelo> Vad,  use 32
[01:25] <Jangari> always the same problems and bugs
[01:25] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> Pelo, yeah I searched... nothing fits my parameters
[01:25] <gnutron> tigran: you could try chmod as root. that will work. then see if it mounts on reboots
[01:25] <AdemoS> Any idea about 2Wire PC port? It's basically like a wireless modem through USB, so it should use the same process
[01:25] <UbuntMe> Guys

[01:29] <Neatchee> Just did a fresh reinstall of Gutsy, and now my CD-RW/DVD drive burns blank discs.  When I try to burn a CD, it seems to go through the whole burning process, but the disc comes out blank -_-
[01:29] <UbuntMe> thats not my problem
[01:29] <Adriel> Neatchee, get a new burner
[01:29] <UbuntMe> ubuntu wont boot eather
[01:29] <Neatchee> Adriel: That's not helping -_-
[01:29] <AdemoS> Pelo: Thanks for replying, but I don't know what software in Ubuntu I should open to browse for the files, even after I throw the files in a hidden folder
[01:29] <fetenfetenn> k1dugar, try posting your boot logs @ http://pastebin.ca/, then give me the resulting url
[01:29] <Pelo> Vad,  if your video card is onboard it and uses shared memory the amount specified in xserver must match the amount in the biios
[01:30] <Narissa> Jangari: and I am getting like a duel theme thing going on, ala one plain theme, and partial button skin
[01:30] <Pelo> AdemoS, nautilus , hit crtl+H to display hidden folders
[01:30] <Vad> Pelo: It's a laptop, so I guess so... what should enter in there then, if anything?
[01:30] <Adriel> Could try cleaning it, but then i had the similar problem and it was gone after replacing the burner
[01:30] <Jangari> hmm, dunno, that's more effects that I've gotten before
[01:30] <AdemoS> Pelo: Once I put the files there though, how do I tell Ubuntu to use them to install the device?
[01:31] <Pelo> Vad, you should enter the amount of video memory specifed in the biios or in your documentatuion
[01:31] <Vad> Pelo: Ah ok
[01:31] <Deleriu1> Pelo: I did that, What should i do now.
[01:31] <k1dugar> fetenfetenn, i am really new with Ubuntu, can you tell me from where i can get boot logs
[01:31] <Pelo> AdemoS, you will be using ndiswrapper to use the windows driver in ubuntu , you will tell ndiswrapper where the driver is
[01:31] <grilled-cheese> so here is an easy question, is there any difference between ubuntu and kubuntu other than gnome/kde change?
[01:31] <Pelo> sigh ..
[01:31] <AdemoS> aha! Ndiswrapper, how do I open that or use commands with it?
[01:32] <bradv> grilled-cheese: No. Do you have a support question?
[01:32] <Deleriu1> Grr, i closed i missed anything that was said. sry
[01:32] <Pelo> grilled-cheese,  that 's pretty much it,  gnome/kde and the default apps that come with them
[01:32] <gnutron> bradv: youre right, i meant chown, sorry about that to whomever.

[01:38] <bradv> Neatchee: You've asked this several times now. What leads you to believe the problem is with Ubuntu, and not with your DVD drive?
[01:38] <Pelo> Neatchee, check the prefs make sure you are not doing a simulation or what ever it is called, or there is also an option to make an iso , and one to burn to a location on your hdd instead of yoru cd, make sure those aren't the problem
[01:38] <AdemoS> Pelo: "and that will be it, after you have configured it of course" How do access ndiswrapper to configure it? Once I have it on startup, do you know of any commands I can read about to use it?
[01:38] <LjL-Temp> Pelo, you live with that feeling for a while :)
[01:38] <Neatchee> bradv: the fact that CDs burn fine in my windows boot?

[01:41] <keith-> i'm thinking it might be overheating and locking up
[01:42] <keith-> because i can't find much else

[01:44] <trontonic> My computer reboots instead of shutting down. It worked previously, I think it's related to the kernel (?). I use Gutsy on a P4. What can I do?
[01:44] <nova> my sound problem is, i cant open 2 apps at the same time that need to use sound ie rhythmbox & totem movie player

[01:45] <trontonic> Anyone else have problems with the computer rebooting instead of shutting down?

[01:45] <AdemoS> Pelo: oooh awesome then
[01:45] <knoppix_2000> there is no -reconfigure switch
[01:45] <akorn> Does anybody know how i can find out what files were auto-deleted off my system the other day?
[01:45] <Neatchee> knoppix_2000, from terminal ("command prompt") enter that command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:45] <Neatchee> it's not a switch
[01:45] <knoppix_2000> only --configure
[01:46] <akorn> I think that some dependencies were deleted :(
[01:46] <Neatchee> it's an app called dpkg-reconfigure
[01:46] <Neatchee> no space
[01:46] <Pelo> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  is htat what you mean ?

[01:50] <Pelo> ss2ofsw, try rebooting before proceeding with the upgrade
[01:50] <UbuntMe> i dont know what wubi is.  i just poped in the cd and pressed the button that made it install
[01:50] <ss2ofsw> i did reboot
[01:50] <bradv> joshua__: And man mount to find out how to mount them.
[01:50] <Not_Sure> fetenfetenn: the forums seem to be conflicting. It appears that HPLIP is supplied with ubuntu feisty fawn distribution. However, I cannot get it to scan with Xsane.
[01:50] <joshua__> Jordan_U,  do you mount using terminal?

[01:51] <Pelo> ss2ofsw, you might have to do a clean install then
[01:51] <ss2ofsw> then wtf kind of shit is this? man.
[01:51] <bradv> UbuntMe: Please listen to everyone that's trying to help. If you don't understand the directions please say something, don't just keep asking the same thing.
[01:51] <Pelo> sysroot74, this is the ubuntu channel ,please don'T give vista advice here e
[01:51] <Not_Sure> fetenfetenn: so HPLIP is not included in ubuntu feisty-fawn?

[01:51] <linux99> UbuntuMe: wubi is an unifficial installer that lets you run ubuntu 7.04, kubuntu, etc only 7.04 and it uses a virtual disk that is installed on your hardrive it is the easiest way to install linux
[01:51] <UbuntMe> whats BIOS? and the first boot device IS cd
[01:52] <keith-> hey pelo what is the max i should let my lappy get to before it is too hot?
[01:52] <Jordan_U_> joshua__, So when you rebooted after "pressing the button that made it install" were you given a boot menu with Windows as an option and Ubuntu as an option as well?

[01:53] <joshua__> Jordan_U,  I did a fresh intall but have a fat32 partition
[01:53] <codenamekt> This is driving me insane how do i turn off failsafe xorg
[01:53] <UbuntMe> should I get BIOS?
[01:53] <codenamekt> I have used my xorg.conf file before it works just fine
[01:53] <Jordan_U_> keith-, It will shut itself off before it melts anything, but you might be for instance shortening the live of your hard drive and battery by letting it get too hot.
[01:54] <Deleriu1> Ok, I got WINE working now. However i have one last problem. No sound  Im using Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[01:54] <joshua__> Jordan_U,  I did lspci and I dont see the drive letter/number combo to use the mount command with
[01:54] <codenamekt> Please, I got a podcast to catch in like 30 min
[01:54] <keith-> Jordan_U_: well this battery is screwed anyway... but i'm more concerned with the locking up
[01:54] <keith-> it isn't shutting down it is locking up
[01:54] <Jordan_U_> joshua__, I meant just type "mount" with no arguments too see what is already mounted and where.
[01:54] <sysroot74> Ubuntme: The problem your explaining is likely not to be that of ubuntu nature, as said, ensure the boot orders are setup correctly, CD drive is functioning, etc
[01:54] <bradv> UbuntMe: BIOS stands for basic input and output system. It is what starts your computer. Reboot, and when you see the very first splash screen, press Delete.
[01:55] <Jordan_U_> joshua__, So when you rebooted after "pressing the button that made it install" were you given a boot menu with Windows as an option and Ubuntu as an option as well?
[01:55] <Ubuntu_Rocks> Sounds like a bios set up prob;em.
[01:55] <joshua__> Jordan_U,  Right I did that fisrt and I have two hard drives installed only one is being shown
[01:55] <Pelo> UbuntMe,  the bios is the prog in your comp that handles the basics hardware like your mobo , video card and hdd,   you can get in in by pressing del when you boot,  just at the beginning,  if you are not familiar with it I don't recommend you play with it much,  read your computer's manual first
[01:55] <bradv> UbuntMe: But I suggest you read the manual that came with your motherboard first.
[01:55] <codenamekt> where is the log that shows me my original zorg.conf problem and not the log that shows stupid xorg. failsafe loading?
[01:55] <Jordan_U_> joshua__, Nvm, meant that for UbuntMe
[01:55] <joshua__> Jordan_U,  No grub only has Ubuntu
[01:55] <Jordan_U_> UbuntMe,  So when you rebooted after "pressing the button that made it install" were you given a boot menu with Windows as an option and Ubuntu as an option as well?
[01:55] <UbuntMe> ok
[01:56] <UbuntMe> no
[01:56] <UbuntMe> I had ubuntu befor that
[01:56] <UbuntMe> I just reinstalled
[01:56] <Jordan_U_> UbuntMe, You are the one trying to boot from CD, correct ? :) ( getting people mixed up )
[01:56] <Creed> !alsa | Creed
[01:56] <UbuntMe> yes
[01:56] <Pelo> codenamekt, check in /etc/X11/   dislay the hidden files with crtl+h,  look for xorg.conf backups
[01:56] <joshua__> In other flavors of linux its as easy as mounting an unmounted drive why so much work in ubuntu
[01:56] <keith-> i mean should flashplugin-nonfree make my temp jump 20 degrees?
[01:57] <livingdaylight> anyone use SimDock?
[01:57] <Pelo> UbuntMe, try typing f8 when you boot , that usualy gives you a boot device selection menu
[01:57] <keith-> it doesn't make my other laptop jump at all running kubuntu
[01:57] <Pelo> keith-,  it is very demanding, it makes me jump by 5-10 degrees, on my desktop
[01:57] <livingdaylight> trying to set command in SimDock to launch Firefox. I set it to firefox-bin but that doesn't launch it
[01:57] <UbuntMe> I got to the thing where it says "tempararely choose boot" or whatever, so i choose cd and it just launches ubuntu
[01:58] <Pelo> livingdaylight,  jsut firefox
[01:58] <bradv> UbuntMe: That's too late already. Press Delete about 5 seconds before that.
[01:58] <codenamekt> pelo I have a million backups problem is no matter which one i run it loads into failsafe and honestly looking at the log it doesn't seem to be even trying to load my original
[01:58] <keith-> but the thing is... it doesn't stop raising the temp... i just eventually close the browser before it hits 70 degrees
[01:58] <livingdaylight> Pelo, ok, thanks i try just firefox
[01:58] <UbuntMe> ok
[01:58] <UbuntMe> brb
[01:59] <Pelo> codenamekt,  did you try reconfigureing xorg.conf ?  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:59] <Jordan_U_> UbuntMe, So you had just Ubuntu on the computer, and you re-installed Just Ubuntu on the computer again? ( I am asking to determine whether or not your BIOS can natively boot from CD at all or if it needed GRUB / ntldr to see the drive and boot from it )
[01:59] <codenamekt> Pelo, We need to draw a line between dumbing down linux for people so they can migrate and usability
[01:59] <linux99> is ubuntu 7.10 gusty ?
[01:59] <Deleriu1> gutsy
[01:59] <linux99> ty
[01:59] <Pelo> codenamekt,  you can do anything manualy in ubuntu that you can do in any other distro
[01:59] <codenamekt> cause i never had a problem with my xorg.conf files till now and i ran xgl aiglx and vesa drivers on two displays one being a 36" hdtv with dvi hdmi
[01:59] <bradv> linux99: It can be windy, yes.
[02:00] <Jordan_U_> codenamekt, Does it flash the screen a few times before starting safe mode? ( BTW, FailsafeX can be disabled in GDM, it is not a feature of X itself )
[02:00] <codenamekt> Pelo, then why can't i see the log of what is going wrong in my original xorg.conf file?
[02:00] <Pelo> codenamekt, you can also get advice in ##linux if no one here cna help , and there is also the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[02:00] <Deleriu1> Ok, anyone familiar with sound issues? im using Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02). Im getting no gstream or device found.
[02:01] <codenamekt> This is soo simple yet so fudged by this new unbreakable xorg.
[02:01] <Pelo> codenamekt,  it there is it migth be in /var/log,  I'm just a basic , fairly noobish home user,  I can'T answer everything
[02:01] <Jordan_U_> codenamekt, If you run "startX" or "xinit" rather than restarting GDM it can't do anything but try to load your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:01] <knoppix_2000> Thanks Yall. My ubuntu desktop is back. I really appreciate your help. Hopefully soon, I'll be well versed enough to give back. Peace
[02:01] <livingdaylight> Pelo, SimDock really chews up into the screen's real-estate, huh?
