[07:18] <therealnanotube> !upgrade | P_Kable
[07:18] <ubotu> P_Kable: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:18] <nonuda_> bill_k: lol..yup but i still need it..hehe
[07:18] <P_Kable> thx a lot
[07:18] <Kanji_Man> Hello, I am a new ubuntu user (feisty 7.04) and would like to know how to create an ntfs partition. I have installed 3G and can read/write to existing ntfs partitions fine. However, when I try to create a new partition in GParted the ntfs option for filesystem is greyed out when creating a new partition.
[07:18] <nu2ubu> does any know how to get rid of a package takes keeps interupting my upgrading
[07:18] <GTPilot>  #wireless
[07:18] <Shootfast> Kanji_Man: yeah I noticed that too, its there on all the other versions. odd
[07:18] <bill_k> nonuda: for what?
[07:19] <chowmeined> ubuntu is awesome
[07:19] <bill_k> agreed
[07:19] <Lam_> what's a good standard font to use for the system that is compatible with numerous foreign characters for chinese/japanese support?
[07:19] <bill_k> well, on kubuntu actually
[07:19] <therealnanotube> nonuda: you may be better off installing the windows in vmware, than on a separate partition. (bonus: you would be able to run xp without rebooting from ubuntu)
[07:20] <bill_k> not if he uses it for games
[07:20] <bill_k> which is the only use for windows
[07:20] <bill_k> :)
[07:20] <chowmeined> when will more companies make games for linux?
[07:20] <chowmeined> i mean they dont even have to do much
[07:20] <bill_k> when they can make a profit doing it
[07:20] <chowmeined> just do some testing for wine
[07:21] <therealnanotube> nu2ubu: how does it "interrupt"?
[07:21] <chowmeined> if they do a little testing to get it to work with wine.. it would make people happier
[07:21] <bill_k> supportting them would be a nightmare among the flood of linux noobs (including myself)
[07:21] <gregorovius> hi... can anyone tell me which /dev/ file corresponds to linein?
[07:21] <GTPilot> anyone use a cisco aironet 350?
[07:21] <bill_k> and most video card companies aren't too friendly to the linux crowd, or it's just legal stuff
[07:21] <therealnanotube> Lam_: wouldn't just any regular font do just fine?
[07:21] <bill_k> GTPilot: i've used AN aironet (1200 i believe)
[07:21] <bill_k> what's up?
[07:22] <chowmeined> gregorovius: like for a microphone?
[07:22] <GTPilot> bill_k: do you recall if the airo_cs was the correct driver?
[07:22] <GTPilot> bill_k: feisty loads an e100 driver by default and i don't know how to change that.
[07:22] <Cosmo_> wastrel:  ok for the lpr driver I installed it and it lists it,  however when I try to print a test page it gives me an error /usr/bin/lpr -P 'FAX1840C'  /usr/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps execution failed with message  /usr/bin/lpr : the printer or class was not found
[07:22] <nu2ubu> anybody see my post regarding getting rid of a package that keeps trying to install very time  I upgrade ?
[07:22] <Lam_> therealnanotube: i'm not sure. from what i heard, some fonts work better than others
[07:22] <gregorovius> chowmeined, that'd work too, I just don't know how to address parts of the soundcard
[07:23] <gregorovius> chowmeined, I know it's got something to do with /dev/dsp
[07:23] <therealnanotube> nu2ubu: did you see my reply? i asked what exactly you mean by "interrupt"?
[07:23] <chowmeined> gregorovius: /dev/dsp is sound out
[07:23] <chowmeined> gregorovius: you can send stuff to it directly and it will make noise
[07:23] <gregorovius> chowmeined, and which files are line-in devices?
[07:23] <nonuda_> Flannel: i saw rootnoverify
[07:23] <therealnanotube> Lam_: hm, well, try some fonts, and see which ones work. :) i don't really have any idea as to what fonts are "better"...
[07:23] <chowmeined> gregorovius: yes > /dev/dsp
[07:23] <chowmeined> gregorovius: im not sure perhaps it is in /dev/snd
[07:24] <Lam_> therealnanotube: not better. just more suitable for foreign characters i guess. :P
[07:24] <bill_k> GTPilot: it's an adapter?  the aironet 1200 was an ap
[07:24] <bill_k> sorry
[07:24] <GTPilot> bill_k, pcmcia yeah .. oh
[07:24] <nu2ubu> sorry it seem that the updating process looks at  an old  update that didn,t complete
[07:24] <Enselic__> When I try to sudo apt-get install mencoder it says "404 file not found". Anyone know where to download the package manually?
[07:25] <gregorovius> chowmeined, I can't see anything that looks like line-in there
[07:25] <Kream> I think that some of the servers that in.archive.ubuntu.com are not working. How do I check the availability of the servers that in.archive.ubuntu.com maps to ?
[07:25] <therealnanotube> Lam_: well, i run with basically standard fonts, but say, when i run into some japanese or other non-english sites they display just fine.
[07:25] <chowmeined> gregorovius: im not sure then
[07:25] <Kream> for example, in.archive.ubuntu.com maps to prat.canonical.com, which is up
[07:25] <kernel06> where can i add users for vsftpd
[07:25] <jtt> Enselic__, packages.ubuntu.org
[07:25] <GTPilot> is there an easy way to associate my wireless module with a different one?
[07:25] <Kream> <IP_ADDRESS> is the address of prat.canonical.com.
[07:25] <gregorovius> okay, chowmeined, thanks
[07:25] <Lam_> therealnanotube: oh no. my browser fonts work fine. it's the ones that are appearing in the file manager that are screwy for some reason
[07:26] <Kream> in.archive.ubuntu.com also maps to <IP_ADDRESS>, which is NOT up
[07:26] <Kream> and nor is <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:26] <Enselic__> kernel06: the documentation has an example file for virtual users, google and check it out
[07:26] <gregorovius> anyone knows which file in /dev/ corresponds to line-in?
[07:26] <Kream> can someone ping the abovementioned IP addresses and see if they are up ?
[07:26] <AbiGeuS> asd
[07:26] <AbiGeuS> hi
[07:26] <therealnanotube> Lam_: ah, i see... i don't think i have any files named in non-english characters.
[07:27] <nu2ubu> it seems that this is a little  to new to me see you all soon bye!
[07:27] <Enselic__> Kream: We are on the same internet :) if you can't ping, we can't
[07:27] <therealnanotube> Kream: i just went to http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ and it showed up just fine.
[07:27] <Kream> Enselic__:  see ?
[07:27] <Enselic__> Kream: ping the IP, not the domain
[07:27] <therealnanotube> Kream: and so is <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:28] <micahcowan> gregorovius, typically, the same as the output device: /dev/dsp. Reading from it gets you mike input, Writing to it sends it out through the sound card.
[07:28] <Kream> --- <IP_ADDRESS> ping statistics ---
[07:28] <Kream> 6 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 5009ms
[07:28] <nonuda_> Flannel: r u still there?
[07:28] <therealnanotube> Kream:
[07:28] <therealnanotube> --- <IP_ADDRESS> ping statistics ---
[07:28] <therealnanotube> 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2010ms
[07:28] <Enselic__> Kream: hmm weird :/
[07:28] <chowmeined> micahcowan: wow really?
[07:28] <Kream> very.
[07:28] <darwin> What command can I use with wget to download everything (including images) on a website?
[07:29] <Kream> techsamvadak@gateway:~$ tracepath <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:29] <Kream>  1:  ABTS-NCR-Dynamic-<IP_ADDRESS>.airtelbroadband.in (<IP_ADDRESS>)   1.104ms pmtu 1492
[07:29] <Kream>  1:  no reply
[07:29] <Kream>  2:  no reply
[07:29] <micahcowan> chowmeined, according to the OSS docs I have. Can't guarantee for non-OSS, but, yeah.
[07:29] <therealnanotube> Kream: hmm, weird, but the .6 address i just pinged failed to reply
[07:29] <chowmeined> Is ubuntu server edition closer to debian stable? I mean, does it have less testing/unstable packages and in general uses more of the stable packages?
[07:29] <pierce> dos anyone know how to change the default java runtime?
[07:29] <crdlb> chowmeined, server and desktop use the same packages
[07:29] <pierce> *does
[07:30] <Kream> if i were to hazard a guess, i would say it's a gateway routing problem somewhere
[07:30] <therealnanotube> Kream: .6 fails to reply to pings, but i can go to it through http just fine. maybe it just has a firewall rule on it to block pings?
[07:30] <crdlb> chowmeined, dapper server is very stable though and supported for 5 years
[07:30] <micahcowan> pierce, probably via update-alternatives.
[07:30] <GTPilot> wireless issue: my aironet 350 shows up as using an e100 driver in lshw, . anyone know how i can change that to use the airo_cs module?
[07:30] <seamus7> hi.. are there any standard problems when burning ubuntu desktop cd images ... i've checked their md5sums  but still .... the disks aren't working for me when i try to install
[07:30] <darwin> ??
[07:30] <intrepidus> Can someone help me find out what hard drive Grub refers to when it says hd(0,00? I want to install Ubuntu again, but I don't want Grub to override my Windows MBR. I'm installing it on its own disk, and last time it ate the MBR and I couldn't boot to Windows without grub :/
[07:30] <therealnanotube> chowmeined: server editioin just means it doesn't have all the gui desktop stuff in it by default.
[07:30] <Kream> therealnanotube:  telnet to port 80 doesn't respond
[07:31] <micahcowan> pierce, do "update-alternatives --list java", and then "update-alternatives --set java <your choice>"
[07:31] <pierce> micahcowan: thanks, ill give that a shot
[07:31] <therealnanotube> intrepidus: safest way :unplug the driwe with the windows on it before installing ubuntu ;)
[07:31] <clearzen> Kream: telnet is port 22
[07:31] <intrepidus> therealnanotube: s'what I normally do. hate that method :P
[07:31] <crdlb> intrepidus, that's /dev/hda1 probably
[07:31] <Kream> clearzen:  thank you. but if you telnet to port 80 on a webserver then you get a response. i'm not getting one from .6
[07:31] <chowmeined> that would've helped that person in alaska if he'd have done that...
[07:31] <Flannel> nonuda_: sorry, I have no idea
[07:31] <darkhack> hellow all!
[07:31] <fiery_cleric> i thought 23
[07:31] <clearzen> Kream: oh cool nvm then
[07:32] <crdlb> intrepidus, but grubs names them in a different order than linux sometimes
[07:32] <gregorovius> micahcowan: thanks a lot
[07:32] <intrepidus> crdlb: which is always good fun and confusing :(
[07:32] <sbn> How can you be really sure that your display driver is installed correctly?
[07:32] <Kream> clearzen:  :)
[07:32] <therealnanotube> Kream: wow, weird, telnet to port 80 fails, but i can browse the directory tree through firefox with no problems
[07:32] <micahcowan> gregorovius, yw :)
[07:32] <crdlb> sbn, what video card?
[07:32] <Kream> therealnanotube:  not opening on any browser here. no wonder apt fails.
[07:32] <kernel06> Enselic: which documentation is it ubuntu?
[07:32] <sbn> X800xl
[07:32] <sbn> ati(msi)
[07:32] <crdlb> sbn, fglrxinfo
[07:32] <Kream> hey! there's a #canonical channel, isnt there ?
[07:33] <darkhack> there may sound dumb but where are the wallpaper and icon image locate on ubuntu?
[07:33] <crdlb> sbn, if it says anything about mesa, it's not working
[07:33] <Ax3> anyone successfully dual boot ubuntu and vista?
[07:33] <sbn> OpenGL renderer string: RADEON X800 XL Generic
[07:33] <Enselic__> kernel06: ftp://vsftpd.beasts.org/users/cevans/untar/vsftpd-2.0.5/EXAMPLE     the virtual users folders e.g.
[07:33] <Ax3> wondering if it can be done (cleanly)
[07:33] <therealnanotube> Kream: just run "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | sed -e 's/in.ubuntu.archive.com/nl.ubuntu.archive.com/'", and you're good to go?
[07:33] <AbiGeuS> Sa9ItrI0 re
[07:33] <darkhack> I keep forgetting
[07:33] <nonuda_> Flannel: ah ok then, btw i believe the windows has broken..since its been weeks i never boot windows, to much time i have spent to playing with ubuntu.. ;)
[07:33] <kernel06> Enselic:thanks
[07:33] <therealnanotube> Kream: (oh, and dont forget to sudo, and to actually pipe the output to a file. :) but you get the idea)
[07:34] <Kream> therealnanotube:  of course. I can just put .8 in the hosts file
[07:34] <Kanji_Man> answer to my earlier question: to create an ntfs partition on an empty drive .. 1) Use GParted to create an unformatted partition  2) use the utility "mkntfs" (available from ntfsprogs apt-get package) to format the partition ntfs
[07:34] <therealnanotube> Kream: that too. :)
[07:34] <Kream> but there seems to be some sort of problem with the canonical servers, which I wanted to figure out.
[07:34] <Kream> #canonical has moved.
[07:34] <Kream> anyone from Canonical here ?
[07:34] <gregorovius> micahcowan, just one more thing: when I do 'cat /dev/dsp > /dev/dsp' I hear the correct sound, but it sounds dirty, not right... could it be due to the sample rate or something alike?
[07:34] <darkhack> anyone know here?
[07:35] <sbn> crdlb, well, I'm having some weird display stuff with the 17-11 kernel
[07:35] <chowmeined> darkhack: somewhere under /usr/share probably
[07:35] <crdlb> sbn, sorry, I'm terrible at fglrx
[07:35] <chowmeined> darkhack: if you know the name of one of the wallpapers you could do: find /usr/share -iname "wallpaper"... and it should tell you
[07:36] <Kanji_Man> dark: I know the wallpapers are in /usr/share/backgrounds
 thanks and let see if I can find it...
[07:36] <seamus7> What's the difference between the cd installation disk and the dvd installation disk?
[07:36] <clearzen> darkhack: what are you looking for?
[07:36] <Ax3> anyone successfully dual boot ubuntu and vista?
[07:36] <Flannel> seamus7: the amount of packages on them
[07:36] <gerzel> Hey I got a kb508bk backlit keyboard with 18 multi media keys I'm trying to figure out how to set things up so they work.
[07:37] <seamus7> Flannel: but installation should be relatively the same?
[07:37] <gerzel> I'm stuck and really and hoping for some help.
[07:37] <therealnanotube> Ax3: ive got ubuntu and xp, if that helps. :)
[07:37] <chowmeined> darkhack: /usr/share/backgrounds
[07:37] <seamus7> Ax3: I do
[07:37] <sbn> crdlb, I think it's more an X problem
[07:37] <micahcowan> gregorovius, dsp defaults to 8-bit, 8kHz, so quite possibly. Those settings are not at all appropriate for real work.
[07:37] <Flannel> seamus7: yeah, as far as I know.
[07:37] <fiery_cleric> !ask
[07:37] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:37] <Ax3> ok
[07:38] <emet> Fiesty woot!
[07:38] <Ax3> well my gf just bought a new lappy
[07:38] <Ax3> and of course it has windows
[07:38] <crdlb> sbn, it's a fglrx problem, those drivers do all kinds of crazy things
[07:38] <emet> windows lol
[07:38] <Ax3> and i wanna show her feisty
[07:38] <emet> she will love you for it!
[07:38] <dac> what about dual boot ubuntu and kubuntu?
[07:38] <micahcowan> gregorovius, (that is, on devices that support 8KHz to begin with: it's not a portable assumption, just FYI)
[07:38] <bill_k> gerzel: looked into keybinding?
[07:38] <Ax3> vista is so ridiculous
[07:38] <Ax3> this laptop is crawling
[07:38] <Ax3> and its new :S
[07:38] <gerzel> bill_k: Not sure how.
[07:38] <emet> lol pwned
[07:38] <bill_k> I killed vista an hour ago
[07:38] <gerzel> Er how to go about doing that.
[07:39] <ybott> Hello, a new ubuntu user.  I plugged my zip drive into my computer, It asked me what do you want to do, I clicked open in new window, but nothing happened. How do I mount a zip drive or find wherever it went?
[07:39] <Kanji_Man> ubuntu+beryl+kiba > vista
[07:39] <emet> in soviet russia, vista kills you
[07:39] <emet> !kiba
[07:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:39] <Ax3> so yea gonna dual boot, sry i don't wanna turn the channel
[07:39] <Ax3> into a vista bash
[07:39] <Ax3> bash-fest*
[07:39] <Ax3> :p
[07:39] <bill_k> gerzel: plenty of resources on google, but I haven't had time to do it myself.. peek at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=265928
[07:39] <bill_k> !keybinding
[07:39] <ubotu> To find out how to switch your keyboard layout, See https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts
[07:39] <seamus7> Ax3: I had XP and Edgy ... I installed Vista as a fresh install ... then reinstalled Edgy /  while leaving my /home partition alone. Grub recognized windows and all was well. :)
[07:39] <emet> !info kiba
[07:39] <ubotu> Package kiba does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[07:39] <emet> errr

[07:39] <ubotu> gerzel: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts (Gnome) or "Input Actions" in KControl (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[07:39] <emet> what is kiba
[07:40] <bill_k> aha perfect
[07:40] <titun> how do i force close a application that is not working
[07:40] <Ax3> seamus7, ok thanks for the encouraging words, gonna try it now
[07:40] <gerzel> ok thanks
[07:40] <crdlb> titun, run xkill, then click on it
[07:40] <bill_k> sure, good luck
[07:40] <seamus7> Ax3: oh and i'm on a dell e1505 laptop
[07:40] <ybott> anybody know what device a zip drive sits on?
[07:40] <crdlb> titun, there's also a panel applet you can add
[07:41] <gerzel> Also is there a way to switch to a dvorak lay out?  Or does that require a whole different keyboard?
[07:41] <Zoiks> im having a problem when I click on a link in some programs it adds file:///home/matt/%22 to the front of the url in firefox
[07:41] <fiery_cleric> ybott: no idean but type dmesg to see any kernel messages that might be generated by u pluggin in your zip drive
[07:41] <Zoiks> any ideas?
[07:41] <gregorovius> micahcowan, that's probably correct, it sounds like 8khz... I just need to 'cat dsp > dsp', do you know how can make it do 44100/16bits?
[07:41] <GTPilot> anyone in here using a cisco aironet 350 card that i can compare notes with?
[07:41] <Kanji_Man> emet: I was able to install kiba easily by following this tutorial --> http://ubuntu1501.blogspot.com/search/label/kiba-dock
[07:41] <titun> crdlb, thanks :-) worked
[07:41] <xyz-abc> where will "network manager" show up once it's installed?
[07:41] <GTPilot> anyone in here using a cisco aironet 350 card that i can compare notes with?
[07:41] <GTPilot> sorry
[07:42] <kane77> xyz-abc, in tray
[07:42] <micahcowan> gregorovius, you need to do an ioctl on the device while you still have it open: I don't believe it'll be possible in a shell, unless you have a shell that supports ioctl, and are willing to do some "exec" tricks.
[07:42] <xyz-abc> kane, what tray?
[07:42] <therealnanotube> gerzel: i'm using dvorak, without any special keyboard. just switch layouts in the keyboard control panel.
[07:42] <bill_k> gerzel: you have to pop off your keyboard keys :)
[07:42] <therealnanotube> gerzel: of course, that means you have to know touch-typing on dvorak.
[07:42] <ybott> fiery_cleric:  there is a message there about it.
[07:43] <bill_k> therealnanotube: nah, just re-arrange the keyboard keys :)
[07:43] <therealnanotube> bill_k: the whole point of dvorak is only useful if you touch-type. switching keys is counterproductive.
[07:43] <ubd> there a program that view fps by rendering 3d animation whats it
[07:43] <therealnanotube> bill_k: hunt-n-peck is the same no matter what layout you use, so what's the point of switching? ;)
[07:44] <therealnanotube> ubd: glxgears ?
[07:44] <Shootfast> glxgears
[07:44] <clearzen> ubd: is it glx gears
[07:44] <ubd> thanks
[07:44] <crdlb> ubd, glxgears -printfps
[07:44] <gregorovius> micahcowan, that sounds too complicated for me, I hope there's a simpler way to do what I need to do
[07:44] <gregorovius> micahcowan, it doesn't have to be command-line, if you know of a GUI way to do it, that'd work too
[07:44] <micahcowan> There's got to be a simple program that does what you want, but I don't know what it would be off-hand.
[07:44] <therealnanotube> GTPilot: have you tried searching google?
[07:45] <bill_k> therealnanotube: ooh
[07:45] <GTPilot> therealnanotube, god yes lol
[07:45] <bill_k> i need typing lessons
[07:45] <ph33rz> Could ne one give me a hand with installing my video card i installed the nvidia rpm but still no luck when i do glxgears in term.. i get this error Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[07:45] <ph33rz> Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[07:45] <gregorovius> micahcowan: SoX, maybe? just guessing
[07:46] <odat> hi everyone
[07:46] <Shootfast> hi odat
[07:46] <ubd> 1572 frames in 5.2 seconds = 300.031 FPS  but i didnt actually see a 300 fps animation... about 5-10 fps
[07:46] <odat> is the nvidia 9631 driver working yet?
[07:46] <micahcowan> gregorovius, afraid I really wouldn't know :(
[07:46] <therealnanotube> bill_k: if you are curious, and have some time to kill, you can learn dvorak touch typing in a week or two. ;)
[07:46] <xyz-abc> Help: I installed "network manager" and cant find it's loading icon
[07:46] <gregorovius> micahcowan, thanks a lot anyways
[07:46] <therealnanotube> xyz-abc: install package "network-manager-gnome", that sets up the panel icon.
[07:46] <bill_k> therealnanotube: any lesson/ learn typing program for linux?
[07:46] <crdlb> odat, what do you mean by working?
[07:46] <Shootfast> odat: if by working you mean crashing frequently than yes
[07:47] <micahcowan> gregorovius, yw
[07:47] <therealnanotube> bill_k: bunches of them. :) let me look up a list for you.
[07:47] <bill_k> therealnanotube: I can look for packages or at sourceforge if you don't know offhand
[07:47] <odat> Shootfast, i know my card is supported by the nvidia 9631 driver but it crashes x on start up
[07:47] <xyz-abc> therealnanotube: isn't that the same as installing it thru the synaptic?
[07:47] <Kream> anyone here who works for canonical ? there seems to be a routing problem getting to their mirrors.
[07:47] <therealnanotube> bill_k: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard#Typing_tutors_with_Dvorak_support
[07:48] <crdlb> odat, where'd you get the driver?
[07:48] <Kream> the closest i could find is mdz, the CTO, but he's been idle for 10h
[07:48] <bill_k> ha thanks
[07:48] <nonuda_> Flannel: u r there?
[07:48] <odat> crdlb, the repos
[07:48] <crdlb> odat, which repos?
[07:48] <Shootfast> odat: are you using the drivers from the repos or from Nvidia
[07:48] <therealnanotube> xyz-abc: there's 'network-manager', and also 'network-manager-gnome'. two different things. at least that's how it is on dapper. :)
[07:48] <`123> anyone have an idea of how to connect to a vpn with ubuntu 6.06? ive used pptpconfig and tried following everything on the forums/faq/manual
[07:48] <`123> but nothing is working
[07:48] <odat> ubuntu repos
[07:48] <ubd> whats the delete partition command i dont want to use gparted
[07:48] <crdlb> odat, then you're on feisty?
[07:48] <therealnanotube> xyz-abc: but yea, i do mean getting it with synaptic.
[07:48] <Shootfast> odat: whats your card?
[07:48] <odat> crdlb, yes
[07:48] <crdlb> odat, #ubuntu+1 then
[07:48] <`123> it connects, but it does not resolve anything
[07:49] <odat> shoot^, nv15
[07:49] <`123> it almost seems as though it is looping to itself
[07:49] <haiba> how to restore masterboot for ubuntu after install winxp
[07:49] <therealnanotube> bill_k: the simplest one with no frills is here: http://www.gigliwood.com/abcd/ :)
[07:49] <Cosmo_> wastrel:  ok for the lpr driver I installed it and it lists it,  however when I try to print a test page it gives me an error /usr/bin/lpr -P 'FAX1840C'  /usr/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps execution failed with message  /usr/bin/lpr : the printer or class was not found
[07:49] <bill_k> well thanks again
[07:50] <ubd> hey, how do i delete a patition from console?
[07:50] <odat> shoot^, its a GTS/Pro
[07:50] <bill_k> therealnanotube: do you have any experience with bluetooth mice/ keyboards?  The on I have is *supposed* to work out of the box but I can't get it working.  It shows it's connected, and I see a bt icon flash in the tray for a fraction of a second whenever i ht the keyboard
[07:50] <therealnanotube> ubd: man fdisk
[07:51] <bill_k> whenever I hit the keyboard (keys)
[07:51] <bill_k> i want to hit the whole thing though
[07:51] <odat> is the nvidia 9631 driver working yet?
[07:51] <therealnanotube> bill_k: no, all my peripherals are connected with wires. sorry. :)
[07:51] <bill_k> logitech dinovo media desktop
[07:51] <bill_k> bleh wires
[07:51] <Shootfast> odat: well the driver works ok for me
[07:51] <therealnanotube> bill_k: hehe, at least they work! :)
[07:51] <bill_k> bluetooth is biting me in the @$$
[07:52] <bill_k> funny tooth is in the name
[07:52] <therealnanotube> bill_k: haha, i was about to point that out
[07:52] <odat> Shootfast, not the nvidia-glx-new  driver
[07:52] <odat> shoot^, the nvidia-glx  driver
[07:52] <bill_k> lol
[07:53] <chowmeined> where is upstart's man pages?
[07:53] <ubd> therealnanotube: fdisk does not delete partitions, afai read from man.
[07:53] <bill_k> i stole a ps/2 keyboard from the lab downstairs (in a college dorm) gotta get it fixed before they look at the security camera and come after me!
[07:53] <`123> anyone have some advice for connecting to a vpn?
[07:53] <pkundu> hi I want the source of the kernel. Which pkg shld I install using apt-get
[07:53] <Shootfast> odat: Im using nvidia-glx
[07:53] <Transience> '123, is the vpn already established?
[07:53] <bill_k> pkundu: kernel.org
[07:54] <Transience> or do you want to make one?
[07:54] <therealnanotube> ubd: ah, sorry, try 'parted' then?
[07:54] <darkhack> is there a way to aligned icons on the right instead of left.
[07:54] <`123> its established
[07:54] <darkhack> sort of like mac
[07:54] <darkhack> hehe
[07:55] <Shootfast> odat: maybe try an older driver from the nvidia website
[07:55] <`123> but it doesnt resolve anything
[07:55] <Transience> oh
[07:55] <`123> kills all routing
[07:55] <Transience> mm
[07:55] <Transience> no idea
[07:55] <`123> yeah
[07:55] <`123> its a real pita
[07:55] <Transience> sorry
[07:55] <`123> np
[07:55] <therealnanotube> pkundu: search in synaptic for "kernel" or "linux", one of them will be the obvious choice. :)
[07:55] <bill_k> he wants source code, is that repository in by default?
[07:56] <Flannel> !kernel | pkundu
[07:56] <ubotu> pkundu: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[07:56] <therealnanotube> bill_k: yea, kernel sources are in the repos
[07:56] <bill_k> ok
[07:56] <Ademan> anyone know if there's a Qt theme that makes Qt mimick your gtk theme?
[07:56] <darkhack> you know, I'm predicting that in ubuntu 10 or so will end up like mac or maybe a little bit like mac
[07:56] <xyz-abc> therealnanotube: even after installing network-manager-gnome (thru synaptic), I still cant find how to load it
[07:56] <bill_k> as long as it's not like windows
[07:56] <bill_k> vista is not functional, just sparkly
[07:56] <therealnanotube> xyz-abc: run "nm-applet"
[07:57] <darkhack> hell I'm tired of windows
[07:57] <bill_k> mac is functional at least, even if it is proprietary
[07:57] <therealnanotube> xyz-abc: and to start it automatically when you log in, just add that to your session startup.
[07:57] <bill_k> darkhack: make the switch
[07:57] <beg1689> crap
[07:57] <chowmeined> darkhack: why will it end up like mac?
[07:57] <Shootfast> darkhack: Im running OSX on my pc, so i dont have to switch :P
[07:57] <therealnanotube> darkhack: the question is, what will mac be like by the time we have ubuntu 10 :)
[07:57] <darkhack> bill_k I alread switch to linx now for the past 3 month now
[07:58] <chowmeined> darkhack: mac isnt nearly as flexible as linux
[07:58] <beg1689> i made a mistake can someone help me? im tried to give my user a secondary group, which i did successfully (i checked with id) but now it says im no longer in the sudoers file
[07:58] <beg1689> now my system is lost?
[07:58] <therealnanotube> beg1689: you have to reboot in "recovery mode" and edit your sudoers file on the console
[07:59] <bill_k> darkhack: you're a bit ahead of me then
[07:59] <therealnanotube> !sudoers | beg1689
[07:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sudoers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:59] <therealnanotube> !/etc/sudoers
[07:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about etc/sudoers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:59] <chowmeined> ubotu: :P
[07:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about p - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:59] <darkhack> lol
[07:59] <chowmeined> no, you go search and give me the response
[07:59] <therealnanotube> chowmeined: yea, you tell him! :)
[07:59] <xyz-abc> therealnanotube: nm-applet (when run in terminal) does nothing
[07:59] <Shootfast> lol
[08:00] <fiery_cleric> ubutu: lol
[08:00] <darkhack> bill_k, I'm still trying to get used to linux a bit at a time.
[08:00] <chowmeined> when is java going to be fully open sourced?
[08:00] <fiery_cleric> ubotu: lol
[08:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lol - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:00] <darkhack> TI'm using opensuse and ubuntu
[08:00] <chowmeined> ubotu: anything
[08:00] <ubotu> So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone.
[08:00] <bill_k> darkhack: same here.  still dual booting, but using windows VERY rarely
[08:00] <darkhack> both are pretty good
[08:00] <chowmeined> hah!
[08:00] <beg1689> i dont need a password to run recovery mode?
[08:00] <ardchoille> !botabuse
[08:00] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[08:01] <therealnanotube> xyz-abc: nothing appears in the system tray? ... strange. well, maybe it doesn't work the same way as it does on dapper (that's what i'm still running). try rebooting (yea, i know...), and if it still doesn't work, i'm probably just using outdated info.
[08:01] <chowmeined> ok fine
[08:01] <bill_k> !bluetooth | bill_k
[08:01] <Flannel> beg1689: no, unless you've set your root password
[08:01] <beg1689> ok
[08:01] <beg1689> ill see what i can do
[08:01] <xyz-abc> therealnanotube: you were right, it did show up, sorry
[08:01] <therealnanotube> beg1689: no you don't need a password. it logs you in as root automatically.
[08:01] <beg1689> ok
[08:02] <darkhack> if I'm able to understand how linx work, I might just join the programming team and come up with something new
[08:02] <beg1689> here goes
[08:02] <therealnanotube> xyz-abc: oh, heh, ok. makes me feel better that i'm not completely out of date. hehe.
[08:02] <fiery_cleric> !linx
[08:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:02] <bill_k> therealnanotube: who should I bug for bluetooth help?  I should mention i'm on kubuntu feisty,
[08:02] <darkhack> Anyone here ever seen ghost in the shell?
[08:02] <xyz-abc> therealnanotube: however, this app seems to have no configuration options...
[08:02] <Shootfast> yes
[08:02] <darkhack> would be great if we have that os
[08:02] <darkhack> lo;l
[08:03] <Shootfast> im always on the look out for that kinda ting
[08:03] <therealnanotube> xyz-abc: click on the icon, it will give you a menu...
[08:03] <therealnanotube> bill_k: heh, if we were talking somewhere else, i'd say "try #ubuntu".
[08:03] <darkhack> u know what I'm talking about right?
[08:03] <Shootfast> ida though out of all the nerds who've seen it, and all the nerds from that group who program, at least one would have tried it :(
[08:03] <therealnanotube> bill_k: but actually, since you are using feisty, you should try #ubuntu+1, since that's the forum for feisty until it gets released
[08:04] <bill_k> ok, thanks
[08:04] <xyz-abc> therealnanotube: it doesnt recognize my wireless adapter i think... i guess i'll look for another app
[08:04] <crdlb> fiery_cleric, are you looking for lynx, or maybe links?
[08:04] <fiery_cleric> crdlb: no just abusing the bots
[08:04] <therealnanotube> darkhack: yea, GITS rocks! :)
[08:04] <Toufas> guys, i just burned ubuntu on a disc, booted, select the option to install, got the loading screen, then screen goes black, i hear some music playing and then no disk activity and nothing on screen
[08:05] <`123> !vpn
[08:05] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[08:05] <NemesisD> could anyone expand upon the "migration tools" in the next ubuntu release?
[08:06] <NemesisD> i'm thinking about installing it on my laptop :O
[08:06] <sciboy_> Hey, anyone familiar with nvidia issues?
[08:06] <Shootfast> ubotu: life
[08:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about life - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:06] <darkhack> therealnanotube> I think I need to rewatch all the episode again.
[08:06] <Shootfast> sciboy: whats the problem
[08:06] <therealnanotube> Toufas: probably something it doesn't like about your video card. once it gets to "no disk activity", switch to another vty (ctl-alt-f2), then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and choose the "vesa" driver. but actually, first things first - did you check to make sure you don't have a bad burn or bad download?
[08:06] <sciboy_> X can't initialise the device and proc shows: Video BIOS: ??.??.??.??.??
[08:06] <Toufas> i will check the disc now
[08:06] <therealnanotube> xyz-abc: what's the output of "ifconfig"?
[08:07] <Toufas> and let you know
[08:07] <therealnanotube> xyz-abc: if ifconfig doesn't show it, then nothing will.
[08:07] <darkhack> alright folks, anyone using feisty right now is able to run beryl/xgl
[08:07] <Shootfast> sciboy: which driver did you install
[08:07] <shazzr> hi. when running tvtime, i all of a sudden get a message telling me the following: "permission denied. cannot open capture device /dev/video0". That is if i run it as normal user. It works when i do "sudo tvtime". How can i give regular users access to tvtime?
[08:07] <Flannel> darkhack: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty
[08:07] <therealnanotube> darkhack: heh, if only i had the time. :)
[08:07] <Shootfast> darkhat: of course
[08:08] <xyz-abc> therealnanotube: ifconfig recognizes it, my wireless adapter does work and this is how I installed it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050_ver_4000_(ZyDas_zd1211b_driver)
[08:08] <Shootfast> darkhat: wait, you said xgl, im running nvidia
[08:08] <darkhack> I got it working but sux I can run aiglx
[08:08] <Shootfast> darkhat: whats the problem with it?
[08:09] <therealnanotube> xyz-abc: if you want network-manager to manage your adapter, then you have to comment out any references to it in more /etc/network/interfaces
[08:09] <sciboy_> Shootfast, I used 8776 and 9746, both having issues.
[08:09] <bill_k> there's no pong in ubuntu+1
[08:09] <therealnanotube> !networkmanager | xyz-abc
[08:09] <ubotu> xyz-abc: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[08:09] <darkhack> my video card doesn't support aiglx
[08:09] <darkhack> ati suck like durt
[08:09] <Shootfast> darkhack: why not? what model?
[08:09] <crdlb> darkhack, what card?
[08:10] <Shootfast> sciboy: where did you install them from, and what card do you have
[08:10] <darkhack> ati x600
[08:10] <crdlb> darkhack, you could theoretically use the free drivers on feisty
[08:10] <crdlb> darkhack, they're not particularly fast though on an x600
[08:10] <Shootfast> darkhack: yeah the free drivers will be fine
[08:10] <darkhack> I know
[08:10] <therealnanotube> shazzr: change permissions on /dev/video0+
[08:10] <therealnanotube> shazzr: change permissions on /dev/video0 ?
[08:10] <sciboy_> Shootfast, For debugging purposes i figured the most recent version would be more valid to developers.
[08:11] <Shootfast> sciboy: where are you getting the drivers from
[08:11] <sciboy_> Shootfast, Using module-assistant, from official source and a Geforce FX 5200
[08:11] <NemesisD> will migration-assistant allow you to pick and choose which directories to copy over when migrating from say xp to ubuntu 7.04?
[08:11] <Flannel> NemesisD: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty questions
[08:11] <NemesisD> rgr
[08:12] <darkhack> Anyway, like I said to all my opensuse friend, I think  this year and so on will be the year of linux
[08:12] <xyz-abc> therealnanotube: all I want is to be able to use WPA-PSK  encryption, do I really need network-manager-gnome for that?
[08:12] <Shootfast> sciboy: what version
[08:12] <sciboy_> Shootfast, Of what?
[08:13] <therealnanotube> xyz-abc: i don't think you need it, i'm pretty sure you can run wpa without network-manager. but i don't use wpa-psk myself, so i'm out of my expertise at this point. :)
[08:13] <crdlb> xyz-abc, network-admin doesn't support wpa, so there's no other graphical way to do it (except maybe with wifi-radar)
[08:13] <darkhack> Well I'm off now and yall take care now and keep on linuxing
[08:13] <darkhack> lol
[08:13] <Shootfast> sciboy: of ubuntu (edgy, dapper, feisty)
[08:13] <sacater> can do
[08:14] <xyz-abc> crdlb: so I should install wifi-radar?
[08:14] <Toufas> therealnanotube: i run the disk check, got till the end, then rebooted
[08:14] <Toufas> i guess thats normal?
[08:14] <crdlb> xyz-abc, I don't know that wifi-radar would support wpa
[08:14] <crdlb> xyz-abc, but network-manager definitely does
[08:15] <xyz-abc> crdlb: so i only need network manager, not network manager gnome?
[08:16] <crdlb> xyz-abc, network-manager-gnome will give you the "applet" so you do need it
[08:16] <Madpilot> cs d Seveas
[08:17] <Shootfast> sciboy: download the nvidia driver with this command wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run /home/YOUR HOME DIRECTORY
[08:17] <xyz-abc> crdlb: and how do I make network-manager-gnome recognize my awll3026 adapter?
[08:18] <NemesisD> #ubuntu+1 is pretty dead...
[08:18] <crdlb> xyz-abc, sorry no idea
[08:18] <|123> horray peer -_-
[08:19] <bill_k> lol, decompressed rar archive took up 99% of sdb
[08:19] <|123> anyone have ANY wild ideas about how to get this vpn connection working?
[08:19] <|123> anything at all
[08:19] <Toufas> crap :/
[08:19] <|123> im willing to accept anything, up to and including, rm -rf :(
[08:20] <bill_k> yeah, sudo rm -rf / (don't do it!)
[08:20] <fiery_cleric> |123: man openvpn :)
[08:20] <|123> it establishes, but kills all the connections
[08:20] <|123> openvpn any good?
[08:20] <cainmark> leaving
[08:20] <|123> meh, worth a shot
[08:20] <fiery_cleric> |123: works for me
[08:21] <|123> this is the last thing that is annoying me on linux
[08:21] <fiery_cleric> |123: trust me youll find more things.... :)
[08:21] <weiweipan> hi guys
[08:21] <|123> not likely :)
[08:21] <|123> until i upgrade
[08:21] <MarkFeathers> How do I check my arp table?  I want to be able to use it in a bash script to notify my when my arp changes
[08:21] <|123> its been two years so far without windows
[08:21] <Cosmo_>  I installedthe LPR driver for my printer(brother intellifax 1840C) and it lists it,  however when I try to print a test page it gives me an error /usr/bin/lpr -P 'FAX1840C'  /usr/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps execution failed with message  /usr/bin/lpr : the printer or class was not found
[08:22] <|123> no reformats, and aside from the initial upgrade kinks, its been running perfectly (except the damn vpn)
[08:22] <fiery_cleric> MarkFeathers: arp -a
[08:22] <Ademan> how might one theme Qt applications from GNOME?
[08:23] <MarkFeathers> fiery_cleric: Is there a way to have it show me just the gateway's mac address?
[08:23] <Toufas> guys, i just burned ubuntu on a disc, booted, select the option to install, got the loading screen, then screen goes black, i hear some music playing and then no disk activity and nothing on screen i pressed ctrl alt f2, typed sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:24] <Toufas> then hen it asks me about the color depth i want i get a warning about overwriting possibly customised configuration
[08:24] <EADG> I just found a solution to an anoyance, not 10 minutes ago. I love screen in cli, but need X for stuff too... found out screen -d -RR runs my oopen session in xterm (Yakauke)!!! No more ctrl + alt + Fx. That just made my day :)
[08:28] <chr0n1c> what's up folks!
[08:29] <chr0n1c> i have been using the ubuntu/emc2 live cd,, i have to say it's awesome...
[08:29] <glick> hi all im ordering a dimension E520 from dell and was wondering if ubuntu will support that well?
[08:32] <tehxed> I'm having trouble with VLC Player not going fullscreen. I'm running Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10 (AMD64 Installation) on an intel d805 2.66GHz(dual core). I checked around and I found the following website: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=32049 ; which in the end links to http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/changeset/19577 to use as a patch. I am not entirely sure what to do with the last link there. Can someone please h
[08:32] <tehxed> elp me out?
[08:32] <EADG> glick: Probly the best thing to do is pop 'round to www.ubuntuforums.org and do a quik search for any issues with that model.
[08:36] <Toufas> guys, i just burned ubuntu on a disc, booted, select the option to install, got the loading screen, then screen goes black, i hear some music playing and then no disk activity and nothing on screen i pressed ctrl alt f2, typed sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but i get i get a warning about overwriting possibly customised configuration after few selections::
[08:37] <Cosmo_> is there a way to back up my settings incase I mess anything up and have to reinstall the OS?
[08:38] <Shootfast> Cosmo_: copy your home folder
[08:38] <tehxed> How often should I repeat my question? As in after how many minutes should I re-ask for help?
[08:38] <Shootfast> tehxed: whats the problem
[08:38] <Cosmo_> Shootfast: thanks
[08:39] <tehxed> Shootfast: I'm having trouble with VLC Player not going fullscreen. I'm running Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10 (AMD64 Installation) on an intel d805 2.66GHz(dual core).

[08:40] <Shootfast> texhed: what happens when you go fullscreen?
[08:41] <tehxed> Shootfast: It basically maximizes the window.
[08:41] <Shootfast> texhed: so you can still see the window borders and such?
[08:42] <shazzr> my window borders are gone after loging out from X. :( Thought I just got it to work with beryl...but i guess not. :( i put the following in my xorg.conf: option "renderaccel" "true" and option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"
[08:42] <tehxed> Shootfast: I just made some progress! Now, instead of seeing the top bar (Applications, Places, System, etc) AND the bottom bar..I only see the top one!
[08:42] <glick> sweet! just ordered a new machine! cant wait!
[08:42] <kraut> moin
[08:43] <Shootfast> texhed: you can change the video output driver
[08:43] <tehxed> glick: Nice! What sort of machine? (Specs)
[08:43] <tehxed> Shootfast: How would I go about doing that?
[08:44] <Toufas> i am a sad panda :(
[08:44] <Cosmo_>  I installedthe LPR driver for my printer(brother intellifax 1840C) and it lists it,  however when I try to print a test page it gives me an error /usr/bin/lpr -P 'FAX1840C'  /usr/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps execution failed with message  /usr/bin/lpr : the printer or class was not found

[08:44] <pavs> whats the command for long listing?
[08:44] <glick> ls -l
[08:45] <Shootfast> texhed: I think its settings>>>Preferences>>Advanced Options>> Video output
[08:45] <tehxed> glick: Nice! Video card is a bit on the low end, but nice.
[08:45] <Shootfast> texhed: or you could switch to mplayer :P
[08:45] <tehxed> Shootfast: Right, I did that. i selected Xvideo for Video Output
[08:45] <pavs> in some linux distro i have seen "11" working as long listing (or was it "ll"?)
[08:45] <glick> tehxed, its good enough for beryl, and its good enough for civ
[08:45] <glick> lol
[08:45] <glick> pavs, ls -l
[08:45] <Shootfast> if you have a 3d card that works, you can try glx
[08:46] <glick> tehxed, basically i want it to play civ4
[08:46] <rsurfs> Hey I just created a new user and i have no sound regardles of what sound card i choose any help?
[08:46] <tehxed> Shootfast: And then I selected Xvideo and enabled "Alternate Fullscreen Method"
[08:46] <Shootfast> glick: my computers to new for some ubuntu stuff :(
[08:46] <fiery_cleric> rsurfs: check permissions in system->admin->users and groups
[08:46] <glick> Shootfast, you have the same kind of machine?
[08:46] <Shootfast> texhed: how does it look now?
[08:47] <rsurfs> fiery_cleric: alright thanks-i'll try
[08:47] <glick> maybe ill sell my laptop now
[08:47] <tehxed> Shootfast: Again, that's what I did to make the progress. Except I can still see the top bar...(Applications, Places, System, etc..)
[08:47] <Shootfast> glick: similar, only my mobo isnt supported properly
[08:47] <Shootfast> texhed: what version of vLC
[08:47] <glick> but ive been through thick and thin with this machine :( got me through college, kind of attached to it
[08:48] <glick> Shootfast, but it "runs" right?
[08:48] <Shootfast> glick: Just got my new lappy, ubuntu runs awesome on it
[08:48] <tehxed> Shootfast: VLC media player 0.8.6 (wxWidgets interface)
[08:48] <glick> i want to crush my brother like a worm!
[08:48] <Shootfast> glick: well atm it doesnt run at all :S, but my desktop aint a dell
[08:48] <rsurfs> fiery_cleric: i have all of the permissions selected
[08:48] <Shootfast> dells usually work very well
[08:49] <Shootfast> texhed: Im pretty sure they fixed that in a later version
[08:49] <fiery_cleric> rsurfs: so u have the one that reads "Use audio  devices" checked?
[08:49] <tehxed> Shootfast: I thought this was the latest version!
[08:49] <rsurfs> fiery_cleric: yeah
[08:49] <Shootfast> texhed: oh wait, it is :S
[08:50] <tehxed> Shootfast: Thought it might be. =|
[08:50] <glick> man its so exciting awaiting the arrival of a new computer, kina like a baby on the way
[08:50] <glick> a new member of the family
[08:50] <Shootfast> texhed: try downloading mplayer from the repos
[08:50] <Shootfast> texhed: you wont be at all disapointed
[08:51] <tehxed> Shootfast: Doesn't mplayer require codecs and the such?
[08:51] <FriedGeek> Hello I'm hoping for a bit of help.
[08:51] <rsurfs> fiery_cleric: i have two options under system->preferences->sound for default sound card: Dell Sound Blaster Live! and Intel ICH5
[08:51] <Shootfast> texhed: it plays nearly everything out of the box
[08:51] <fiery_cleric> rsurfs: another program might be using the audio device ... ie if your soundcard dosent support hardware mixing and the offending application is using oss
[08:51] <FriedGeek> I've got the Nvidia drivers installed but I can't get a resolution higher than 1024x768, my LCD is 1280x1024 native.
[08:51] <fiery_cleric> rsurfs: but it works for one user and not for the other one right
[08:51] <Shootfast> FriedGeek: how and where did you install them from
[08:52] <FriedGeek> Automatix
[08:52] <Shootfast> FriedGeek: uh oh.... the A word...
[08:52] <rsurfs> fiery_cleric: hmm..how can i check if another program is? i know that the other user account works fine with either options
[08:52] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, remember the problem with the sound card during install?
[08:53] <tehxed> Shootfast: When I try to run a file in Mplayer I get the following error: 'Fatal Error' "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device."
[08:53] <variant> FriedGeek: nvidia drivers are unsuported.. ask nvidia for help
[08:53] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, got ubuntu installed, but now has the same problem when logging in. how do i command line log in
[08:54] <nextstate> How can I get the arrow keys on the numpad to select text when I hold down the shift key? I tried playing with /etc/X11/xkb/types/basic to no avail. Any ideas?
[08:54] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: press ctrl-alt-f1
[08:54] <FriedGeek> Thanks Variant.
[08:54] <variant> tehxed: thats a bug in the ubuntu mplayer version. if you open a terminal and type "mplayer /path/to/video.avi/mpeg/etc" it should play
[08:54] <fiery_cleric> rsurfs: not sure ... have u got mplayer installed ?
[08:54] <Duckinthetrunk> shootfast, thanks
[08:54] <variant> FriedGeek: yeah, not very helpfull was it ? :P
[08:54] <rsurfs> fiery_cleric: yeah why? could that be a problem?
[08:55] <fiery_cleric> nextstate: numlock?
[08:55] <Shootfast> texhed: run mplayer and then go preferences and set you video output
[08:55] <variant> FriedGeek: have you tried the nvidia-settings program?
[08:55] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: Howd you get it installed in the end
[08:55] <tehxed> variant: Is there any way I can get it running from using the MPlayer gui?
[08:55] <FriedGeek> Then can I rephrase the question, how might one get something like Xconfig to run?
[08:55] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, the alt distro worked
[08:55] <variant> tehxed: yeah, open gmplayer (thats the "Mplayer" from the menu) and change video output settings
[08:55] <fiery_cleric> rsurfs: no its good for testing ... try mplayer myaudiofile and see what error it gives u
[08:56] <Shootfast> FriedGeek come here #Shootfast
[08:56] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, I can even log in, but then it gets hung up again playing the same sound over and over
[08:56] <variant> FriedGeek: did you try nvidia-settings?
[08:56] <FriedGeek> Yes the Nvidia panel offers all kinds of helpful stuff about my Open GL... color settings etc...
[08:56] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, I've got to change the sound card driver, or just plain disable it
[08:56] <tehxed> variant: Nice! now to fix the audio settings
[08:56] <Duckinthetrunk> damn Toshiba hardware
[08:56] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: I might be able to get you a fix
[08:57] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, I'm interested
[08:57] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: try here firsts http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[08:57] <rsurfs> fiery_cleric: it gave me a fatal error! error opening/initializing the selected video out (-vo) device
[08:57] <nextstate> fiery_cleric: I think that ends up moving the cursor around, which is the same results I'm getting with chaning the basic file. I also don't want numlocks on on the time because I use the keypad for navigation. I did this in kde sometime ago. But that knowledge has been forgotten. :(
[08:59] <fiery_cleric> nextstate: not sure ...maybe look at system->preferences->keyboard ....
[08:59] <fiery_cleric> rsurfs: try it with just a audio file ie mp3/ogg
[08:59] <tehxed> variant: I get the following error whenever I play a movie: "Requested audio codec family [mp3]  (afm=mp3lib) not available. Enable it at compilation." The sound works and so does the video but that comes up every time. I'm not sure if that's a serious problem or will be down the road, so I just want to fix it now. Know anything about it?.
[08:59] <Toufas> guys, i just burned ubuntu on a disc, booted, select the option to install, got the loading screen, then screen goes black, i hear some music playing and then no disk activity and nothing on screen i pressed ctrl alt f2, typed sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but i get i get a warning about overwriting possibly customised configuration after few selections.what should i do?
[08:59] <nextstate> yeah, did that, thanks anyways
[09:00] <fiery_cleric> nextstate: there is something in there about numpad ...
[09:00] <Shootfast> texhed: you need to install the mp3 libs
[09:01] <rsurfs> fiery_cleric: it says "requested audio codec famiy [mp3]  (afm=mp3lib) not available. Enable it at compilation.
[09:01] <kane77> Toufas, backup your xorg.conf first... it's in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:02] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, i'll give these tips a try and check back
[09:02] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, thanks
[09:02] <fiery_cleric> nextstate: system->preferences->keyboard->layout options->miscellaneous compatibility options->shift with numpad keys work as in MS windows .... maybe?
[09:02] <tehxed> tehxed
[09:02] <chr0n1c> any tips for getting an ens1370 to work?
[09:02] <chr0n1c> ens1370 soundcard*
[09:02] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: no problem
[09:03] <nextstate> fiery_cleric: yeah, it says Shift+Numpad works as in MS Windows. Oh, you beat me to it. Well, it just moves the cursor around and does not select text.
[09:03] <tehxed> Shootfast: How do i go about installing these "mp3 libs" ?
[09:03] <kane77> Toufas, do something like this "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup"
[09:03] <fiery_cleric> rsurfs: try some of the .wav files in /usr/share/sounds ...
[09:03] <Shootfast> i think theyre in the xine stuff, hang on
[09:04] <Toufas> trying now
[09:04] <adriaticator> I just upgraded to Feisty and my dual monitor setup is no longer one desktop spread across two screens. It's now two completely independent screens and there is no way to reach display #2, any ideas?
[09:04] <adriaticator> So I see two desktops but can only move my mouse around one.
[09:04] <tehxed> Shootfast: Hanging on.
[09:05] <rsurfs> fiery_cleric:  wav file plays yet i here

[09:10] <stone-unix> please show it to newbie, drawn with yed. http://gaoghy.googlepages.com/welinux.png
[09:10] <tehxed> Welcome back, Shootfast!
[09:10] <Shootfast> texhed: It froze :l
[09:11] <fiery_cleric> !info yed
[09:11] <Shootfast> lousy nvidia
[09:11] <ubotu> Package yed does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[09:11] <tehxed> I like nVidia. ATI has always been rough on me.
[09:11] <Ax3> anyone know how to resize the Vista partition, so i can fit ubuntu?
[09:11] <Ax3> does vista have tools for repartitioning?
[09:12] <GTroy> Ax3, use gparted
[09:12] <tehxed> Ax3: During the setup of Ubuntu, it'll ask you how much free space from a partition you want to dedicate to Ubuntu. It's very simple. (If I can do it, anyone can)
[09:12] <Ax3> the ubuntu livecd won't allow me to resize the existing vista partition
[09:12] <rsurfs> fiery_cleric: thanks anyways man i'm gonna split and work on this later, good night
[09:12] <Ax3> gparted ported to win32?
[09:12] <tehxed> Ax3: That's new..! What version are you using?
[09:12] <Ax3> feisty
[09:13] <Ax3> it wants to remove every trace of vista
[09:13] <GTroy> Ax3, you use gparted off livecd
[09:13] <Ax3> thats unacceptable
[09:13] <fiery_cleric> haha
[09:13] <Toufas> Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - Supported to 2009 thats live cd?
[09:13] <Ax3> hmmm gparted
[09:13] <GTroy> yes toufas
[09:13] <Ax3> ok well i'll try again
[09:13] <cypherdelic> Does anybody know, how to get Evolution connected to POP/SMTP via local Privoxy/Tor-server?
[09:13] <Toufas> i will try downloading this one
[09:13] <Toufas> 6.10 doesnt work on my laptop
[09:14] <tehxed> Ax3: No way can that make sense! I used Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10 to make a partition from a Windows file system and it did it fine. Infact, I couldn't have done it any other way. All other ways were too long (if using Windows)
[09:14] <FriedGeek> Sweet. here goes nothing. [restarting x]
[09:14] <GTroy> Toufas, what of drake LTS doesn't work?
[09:14] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, no luck
[09:14] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk
[09:14] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: bugger
[09:14] <tehxed> Shootfast: Any luck with my mp3 related issue? (Something about the mp3 libs?)
[09:14] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, it keeps playing that drum/bongo sound in a loop
[09:15] <Shootfast> but at least you can hear things now eh?
[09:15] <FriedGeek> Many great thank you's to all.
[09:15] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, if i could change/disable the sound, then I could get into ubuntu and use it
[09:15] <cypherdelic> Does anybody know, how to get Evolution connected to POP/SMTP via local Privoxy/Tor-server?
[09:15] <Enselic__> Does it make sense to say "the last 2:21 minutes"?
[09:15] <FriedGeek> Glorious 1280x1024 Night all. Thanks again.

[09:17] <Ax3> tehxed, maybe i overlooked it, it is 3am eyes are tired
[09:17] <Ax3> :(
[09:17] <tehxed> Ax3: It happens. I usually do most Ubuntu related troubleshooting this late as well.. although truth be told I don't think i'd be more effecient any other time of day than now
[09:17] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: Try killing gdm with "sudo killall KILL gdm" then login on terminal 1 (ctrl-alt-F1) then when its logged in, type sudo gdm
[09:17] <Shootfast> or sudo gdm start
[09:18] <tehxed> Shootfast: Any luck with my mp3 related issue? (Something about the mp3 libs?)
[09:18] <Ax3> tehxed, i had the disk manager in vista do a "shrink volume" looks like it did what i wanted, and yea i just don't stop a project or troubleshooting until i complete it, just part of my mentality, i solve all problems before sleep
[09:18] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, where do i type the first line?
[09:18] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, before i login?
[09:19] <Shootfast> tehxed: look into the libxine-ffmpeg
[09:19] <GTroy> later guys, hopefully 7-19-07 comes quick
[09:19] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: are you talking to us through the live cd now?
[09:19] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, i'm in xp on a dual boot
[09:19] <tehxed_> God damnit
[09:19] <tehxed_> Xchat did it again
[09:19] <Ax3> lol
[09:20] <tehxed_> brb
[09:20] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: OK, when your at the login screen, click Crtl - Alt -f1
[09:20] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: then sudo killall Kill gdm
[09:20] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: then sudo killall KILL gdm
[09:21] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, k
[09:21] <Shootfast> make sure KILL is all caps
[09:21] <Duckinthetrunk> okay
[09:21] <Duckinthetrunk> then login and type 'sudo gdm'?
[09:21] <Shootfast> then you should be logged in, and type sudo gdm start
[09:21] <Duckinthetrunk> okay
[09:21] <Duckinthetrunk> i'll give it a shot and get back to you, hopefully on linux
[09:22] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: If worst comes to worst, you can always remove the sound drivers from the command line
[09:24] <bullgard4> fiery_cleric: Your hint to the Software_build article in the Wikipedia was most fruitful. Thank you.
[09:24] <fiery_cleric> bullgard4: no problem ... wikipedia is good for tech related material
[09:26] <Cosmo_>  I installedthe LPR driver for my printer(brother intellifax 1840C) and it lists it,  however when I try to print a test page it gives me an error /usr/bin/lpr -P 'FAX1840C'  /usr/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps execution failed with message  /usr/bin/lpr : the printer or class was not found
[09:27] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, this is so lame: it worked, but when it asked for the root password, i realized that the installer never asked me for a root pass, and thusly i can't login as root.....
[09:27] <Duckinthetrunk> sooo sad
[09:28] <tekm8> sup all
[09:28] <LordLimecat> sup :D
[09:28] <LordLimecat> for everyones amusement: http://www.hongfire.com/cg/data/25/caramelldansen.swf
[09:30] <tekm8> err, slow today?
[09:30] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, this is so lame: it worked, but when it asked for the root password, i realized that the installer never asked me for a root pass, and thusly i can't login as root.....
[09:30] <foug> my taskbar (clock and all, when i try to switch programs by clicking the button nothing happens) keeps freezing and I can't figure out why. At first I thoguht it was firefox but now it seems it is not.
[09:30] <Seveas> !sudo Duckinthetrunk
[09:30] <Seveas> !sudo | Duckinthetrunk

[09:31] <foug> Crazytom: and beryl, think that might have something to do with it?
[09:31] <Seveas> and no, maskin foul language dos not make it non-foul...
[09:31] <tekm8> um, what bad lingo did he use?
[09:31] <Duckinthetrunk> understood, but my user password doesn't work
[09:32] <fiery_cleric> foug: exactly when you install that opera u have no idea what it is doing
[09:32] <Duckinthetrunk> it says can't login sorry
[09:32] <foug> fiery_cleric: but why would updating opera mess things up?
[09:32] <Shootfast> what does it say?
[09:32] <Duckinthetrunk> "Login failed<br />sorry"
[09:32] <Crazytom> foug, i don't know man, your poor computer....
[09:32] <Duckinthetrunk> my notation for a ling break
[09:32] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: when it asks you to login from the command prompt are you using your name?
[09:33] <Duckinthetrunk> *line
[09:33] <Duckinthetrunk> yea
[09:33] <fiery_cleric> foug: i was just making a lame political point about non-free SW.... its probably not opera
[09:33] <Duckinthetrunk> my username
[09:33] <foug> Crazytom: nah compy is fine, hehe
[09:33] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: Is it possibly booting from the live cd instead of your hard drive?
[09:33] <Duckinthetrunk> no cd in my tray
[09:33] <Duckinthetrunk> it's gotta be hd
[09:33] <tekm8> Duckinthetrunk, sounds like you might have typed the pw wrong twice on install, or mistyped the username
[09:34] <Duckinthetrunk> *hdd
[09:34] <Duckinthetrunk> i guess
[09:34] <Duckinthetrunk> which blows
[09:34] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: lol, thats almost impossible
[09:34] <tekm8> Shootfast, nah, i've done it myself ;p
[09:34] <sorcerer22> hey guys umm stupid but i dunno how do i chenge the reoloution ?
[09:34] <bill_k> gui way or cmd line way?
[09:35] <Duckinthetrunk> here's how it goes: login->sudo killall KILL gdm, password->*******, login failed, sorry
[09:35] <Shootfast> sorcerer22: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:35] <foug> what's the command to open a file in gedit through terminal? i'm trying gedit filename and it won't happen

[09:35] <tekm8> sorcerer22, or go to system, prefs, screen resolution
[09:35] <Duckinthetrunk> is that my downfall?
[09:35] <Shootfast> when it says login, type your username and pass
[09:35] <Crazytom> foug, gedit is a gui text editor try nano instead
[09:35] <Shootfast> then the commands
[09:35] <bill_k> or sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, edit it, and restart x
[09:36] <Duckinthetrunk> i'm such a loser nube
[09:36] <bill_k> i think*
[09:36] <Shootfast> dont type the commands when it says login :P
[09:36] <foug> Crazytom: yes i know, to open a file in gedit using terminal, i've done it before, can't rmember the command tohugh
[09:36] <Shootfast> i do that all the time too!
[09:36] <bill_k> Duckinthetrunk: noob*
[09:36] <Duckinthetrunk> god damn it
[09:36] <tekm8> foug, err, sudo gedit <filenamewithpath>
[09:36] <Duckinthetrunk> i'll go try again and cry my self to sleep
[09:36] <Duckinthetrunk> thanks
[09:37] <foug> tekm8: hmm, sudo gedit /etc/xorg.conf, not working
[09:37] <tekm8> foug, cuz it's sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:38] <foug> tekm8: word
[09:38] <tekm8> :)
[09:38] <Shootfast> faug: you get to remember that one pretty quick
[09:38] <bill_k> my roomate is sleeping but i really want to unbox my new monitor
[09:39] <bill_k> doh, i'll just go out in the hall, brb
[09:39] <Shootfast> wake up roomate - then unbox
[09:39] <tekm8> heh
[09:39] <bill_k> to brag
[09:39] <bill_k> sure
[09:39] <sorcerer22> thanks guys i have anothertion regarding ktorrent right now iam going pretty slow .. but it says there 2 (4) leechers and seeder : 1(2) and my download is at 3.9 can i do something to get it faster?
[09:39] <sorcerer22> or is there a general setting
[09:39] <bill_k> 2x 19" viewsonic 2ms response time lcd's :)
[09:39] <tekm8> sorcerer22, make sure your firewall (iptables and maybe router) aren't blocking ports
[09:39] <foug> tekm8: to install utorrent, will sudo apt-get install utorrent     work?
[09:40] <Peppery> uTorrent is Windows only?
[09:40] <ecgw> eww. i hate the bird on viewsonic.
[09:40] <Shootfast> sorcerer22: either yell at everone to start seeding, or get faster internet
[09:40] <tekm8> foug, uTorrent is windows proggy
[09:40] <foug> Peppery: linux equivalent for torrents then?
[09:40] <bill_k> yes
[09:40] <bill_k> azureus works well
[09:40] <Peppery> foug: Azureus
[09:40] <foug> don't really like Azureus, anything that's more of a lighter load?
[09:40] <EADG> utorrent with wine.
[09:40] <bill_k> just make sure you use the sun java, free java isn't great at network stuff
[09:40] <sorcerer22> i have a pretty fast cable connection . but .. iam new to ubuntu .. io dunno is a firewall is on ?
[09:40] <Peppery> uTorrent is the superior program, but it's for Windows only
[09:40] <Shootfast> foug: Bittornado
[09:40] <LordLimecat> Peppery: thats not entirely true :D
[09:41] <foug> Shootfast: rgr i'll try it
[09:41] <Shootfast> Bittornado GUI = best
[09:41] <LordLimecat> azureus is more powerful
[09:41] <tekm8> foug, you already have a torrent proggy auto-installed...
[09:41] <Peppery> LordLimecat: ?
[09:41] <foug> will sudo apt-get install bittornado work?
[09:41] <Shootfast> Bittornado is faster though
[09:41] <bill_k> add restricted+universe+multiverse to repositories and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:41] <sorcerer22> so is there a way ?
[09:41] <foug> tekm8: yea but it isn't working for me, heh
[09:41] <LordLimecat> more plugins, capabilities, cross platform
[09:41] <Shootfast> foug: yep
[09:41] <sorcerer22> does ubuntu have a firewal
[09:41] <Shootfast> but for the gui its sudo apt-get install bittornado-gui
[09:41] <bill_k> plenty of guides out there for all that stuff
[09:41] <Peppery> sorcerer22: iptables ftw.
[09:41] <sorcerer22> i mean comes standard with the os .. like windows ?
[09:41] <bill_k> search in synaptic! :)
[09:41] <fiery_cleric> sorcerer22: iptables ?
[09:41] <sorcerer22> whats that
[09:41] <tekm8> foug, ah ok...yeah, use bittornado ...i believe it's sudo apt-get install bittornado-gui ...
[09:42] <fiery_cleric> !iptables
[09:42] <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).
[09:42] <Rat409> foug: maybe ctorrent or rtorrent,not sure
[09:42] <tekm8> ahh, already beat to it :p
[09:42] <foug> sweet, installing stuff on linux is so much easier than windows. Terminal owns. Can i pretty much use that command for any program?
[09:42] <Shootfast> sorcerer22: Firestarter
[09:42] <sorcerer22> fiery_cleric: whats iptables
[09:42] <tekm8> foug, yep
[09:42] <LordLimecat> foug: yea, a lot of em
[09:42] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, even better now
[09:42] <foug> good to hear
[09:42] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: Howd it go?
[09:43] <fiery_cleric> sorcerer22: there are many higherlevel programs to configure the firewall tho
[09:43] <sorcerer22> Shootfast: whats firestarter ?
[09:43] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, i'm still in linux, got my other system to run xchat
[09:43] <Shootfast> sorcerer22: its a firewall program
[09:43] <tekm8> sorcerer22, a iptables gui frontend
[09:43] <EADG> foug: it's good for removing and updating programs too.
[09:43] <Duckinthetrunk> it says "KILL: no process killed"
[09:43] <Duckinthetrunk> so it didn't kill gdm
[09:43] <foug> EADG: o ya? i take it the remove command is just typing uninstall instead of install?
[09:43] <joel__> LGUIEN ABLA ESPAOL
[09:43] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: um, it might be something else to kill gnome (I use KDE :P)
[09:43] <LordLimecat> firestarter seems to do more than just provide a gui, installing it instantly blocks access to all ports from outside o.0  or am i doin it wrong
[09:43] <sorcerer22> so iptables is a differnt program ?
[09:43] <LordLimecat> seems to activate iptables or somethin
[09:44] <sorcerer22> is it already tunred on in ubuntu ?
[09:44] <EADG> foug: remove instead of install, yep. Dead easy.
[09:44] <foug> EADG: nice thanks
[09:44] <Shootfast> i think firestarter is a gui for iptables
[09:44] <tekm8> LordLimecat, iptables defaults to block all inbound connections
[09:44] <joel__> HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[09:44] <freakynl> hey there how would i setup vlan's? (i know how vconfig works n stuff, more curious about the start-up scripts / ubuntu specific stuff)
[09:45] <EADG> Makes checking out new programs a snap.
[09:45] <compilerwriter> Duckinthetrunk what do you want to do with gdm
[09:45] <LordLimecat> tekm8: that may be....but i had access to VNC from outside, turned on firestarter, and all of a sudden, all connections blocked...had to make rules
[09:45] <Rat409> foug: apt-get --help ; works for most apps,commands,but not all,sometimes -h works also,but not 100% of everything
[09:45] <tekm8> LordLimecat, yeah it defaults iptables back...
[09:45] <LordLimecat> tekm8: is it possible iptables isnt on by default?
[09:45] <Shootfast> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:45] <LordLimecat> ah
[09:45] <foug> Rat409: cool, thanks
[09:45] <freedomness> HI, WHERE i can find a label (image) to customize ubuntu cd ?
[09:45] <Duckinthetrunk> compilerwriter, i'm trying to kill my sound driver cause it's crashing me at login
[09:45] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:46] <tekm8> LordLimecat, it is if you are running firestarter
[09:46] <joel__> = c
[09:46] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, *stopping gnome display manager [ok]
[09:46] <freakynl> hey there how would i setup vlan's? (i know how vconfig works n stuff, more curious about the start-up scripts / ubuntu specific stuff)
[09:46] <compilerwriter> duckinthetrunk shootfast gave it to you.
[09:46] <Duckinthetrunk> cool\
[09:46] <Duckinthetrunk> now what
[09:47] <Duckinthetrunk> shootfast, .
[09:47] <tekm8> brb --smoke
[09:47] <Shootfast> ok, now you can try to remove the sound drivers... im just looking it up
[09:48] <delcoyote> freedomness: i found something but is .pdf and other format labels for ubuntu
[09:48] <joel__> HOOLA ALGUIEN QUE ABLE ESPAOL????????
[09:48] <Duckinthetrunk> shootfast, side note, but where do you find this stuff?
[09:48] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: what stuff?
[09:48] <hobojohn3> does anybody know of a new guide for rolling a custom distro for ubuntu or kubuntu?
[09:49] <Duckinthetrunk> shootfast, all of these commands, drivers, and techniques?
[09:49] <DVS01> you guys heard this? verizon is clamiming patent to the internet
[09:49] <DVS01> http://www.tpmcafe.com/blog/specialguests/2007/apr/11/al_gore_can_rest_easy_verizon_claims_the_internet
[09:49] <delcoyote> joel__  /join #ubuntu-es
[09:49] <DVS01> thats nuts
[09:49] <joel__> JJ
[09:49] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: ive had most of them on my end :P
[09:49] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: and tinkering
[09:49] <Duckinthetrunk> shootfast: i can understand that
[09:49] <joel__> QUE MIERDA
[09:49] <delcoyote> freedomness: http://www.scsy.de/~mas/ubuntu-labels/
[09:50] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: As it stands, with all the tinkering i do, i format my drives almost every week
[09:50] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast: wow, i thought i was bad at once a month
[09:50] <tekm8> back
[09:50] <bill_k> hmm
[09:51] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast, i've got windows crap down to a science, now i'm trying to learn something useful
[09:51] <Rat409> lol
[09:51] <Duckinthetrunk> Shootfast: the only bad part is that my hardware is lacking
[09:51] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: A little slackware here, some Solaris there, a splash of OSX
[09:51] <bill_k> vga cable = too short :( and vga sucks, i need a vid card with 2x dvi out
[09:51] <bill_k> yumm osx
[09:51] <tekm8> bill_k, you got 2 displays, neat
[09:51] <Shootfast> Duckinthetrunk: Go here #Shootfast
[09:51] <bill_k> well, will have* if i find a cable
[09:52] <tekm8> bill_k, i get my stuff from newegg.com ....that is, if you want to wait a little bit
[09:52] <bill_k> tekm8: always order from newegg
[09:52] <tekm8> :)
[09:53] <bill_k> probably at least $10k worth of orders from there (can look through my history)
[09:53] <freakynl> how do i setup vlan's in ubuntu?
[09:53] <fiery_cleric> !vlan
[09:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vlan - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:53] <tekm8> mine isn't that much, but somewhere around 4-5
[09:53] <freakynl> !802.1q
[09:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 802.1q - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:54] <hobojohn3> does anybody know of a new guide for rolling a custom distro for ubuntu or kubuntu?
[09:54] <LordLimecat> hobojohn3: do you mean kernel?
[09:54] <hobojohn3> its for a friends comp who is worried about the xp to linux transition
[09:54] <hobojohn3> yeah
[09:54] <hobojohn3> sry
[09:54] <tuna-fish> dumb question: how can I see the number of my screen?
[09:55] <LordLimecat> hobojohn3: wait, what is your goal
[09:55] <preaction> hobojohn3: fiesty has support for even intel macs, so i've been told.
[09:55] <jpjacobs> tuna-fish, echo $DISPLAY
[09:55] <LordLimecat> not to mention its awesome :D
[09:55] <tekm8> preaction, it does, check out the download page
[09:55] <tuna-fish> jpjacobs: thanks
[09:56] <hobojohn3> lordlimecat: im trying to get a custom kernel setup for his computer he uses an nvidea 6600 and other such stuff he built it himself and is learning to hate windows and there cruel hearted ways
[09:56] <preaction> hobojohn3: why do you need a custom kernel? did the live CD not boot properly?
[09:56] <LordLimecat> hobojohn3: you shouldnt start a new user out with anything custom
[09:56] <LordLimecat> trust me
[09:56] <tekm8> hobojohn3, what cruel-hearted ways?
[09:56] <LordLimecat> because if anything goes wrong, he will assume linux sucks
[09:56] <LordLimecat> go with vanilla feisty, and then if he wants to custom compile, you can help him later
[09:57] <preaction> hobojohn3: seriously, the -generic kernel works for almost any hardware setup. add in proprietary video drivers (installed with Envy), and you're golden
[09:57] <hobojohn3> lordlimecat: so i offered to build him a custom kernel that has everything he needs to get started such as all the proper drivers
[09:57] <preaction> !envy | hobojohn3
[09:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about envy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:57] <preaction> !nvidia | hobojohn3
[09:57] <ubotu> hobojohn3: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:57] <LordLimecat> hobojohn3: well, i just got done trying to build my own...it compiled, and everything works....including ping....
[09:57] <LordLimecat> except web browsint and irc
[09:57] <LordLimecat> thats NOT somethin you want to deal with on first boot
[09:57] <fiery_cleric> ping is all u need
[09:57] <tekm8> lol
[09:58] <LordLimecat> its wierd as hell
[09:58] <LordLimecat> all network traffic except ping is sent straight to dmesg
[09:58] <LordLimecat> and never reaches browser
[09:58] <hobojohn3> tekm8: pay for this then its free except for the weekly updates that are a month or two late and choose when to take over your comp and other things that made his 600 dollar compter cost him more than 1000
[09:59] <tekm8> hobojohn3, what was he having to pay for? anti-virus? if that's the case, then avg is free, and works great
[09:59] <Cosmo_>  I installedthe LPR driver for my printer(brother intellifax 1840C) and it lists it,  however when I try to print a test page it gives me an error /usr/bin/lpr -P 'FAX1840C'  /usr/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps execution failed with message  /usr/bin/lpr : the printer or class was not found, anyone know how to fix this?
[09:59] <hobojohn3> lordlimecat: did you have a guide to build it or are you just a guru?
[09:59] <ph33rz> Could someone give me a hand with install my video card drivers?
[09:59] <LordLimecat> hobojohn3: windows is good because it is competition.....its also very simple for end users
[09:59] <LordLimecat> hobojohn3: guru?  o.0 not at all
[09:59] <LordLimecat> i just lurk in here a lot
[09:59] <LordLimecat> and yea, i have a guide
[09:59] <LordLimecat> but again
[09:59] <LordLimecat> i have yet to get it working 100% successful
[10:00] <sorcerer22> LordLimecat: whats you trying to get working /.'
[10:00] <LordLimecat> http://howtoforge.com/roll_a_kernel_debian_ubuntu_way
[10:00] <hobojohn3> it was all sorts of things that were saying trial over you must pay to keep ruing this software
[10:00] <LordLimecat> sorcerer22: my alsa broke in the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel....
[10:01] <LordLimecat> its workign in .10, but i spent the weekend tryin to roll my own, since .11 was throwing "oops" errors
[10:01] <sorcerer22> oh ok umme sound driver iam a newbie  .. just mived from windows
[10:01] <tekm8> hobojohn3, that has nothing to do with microsoft, that's whatever computer manufactor that he decided to use...you can install just windows on there without all that trial crapware
[10:01] <LordLimecat> success except for networking -_-
[10:01] <sorcerer22> iam happy other os a re kicking windows ass
[10:01] <LordLimecat> hobojohn3: that crapware makes the pc cheaper
[10:02] <LordLimecat> just use the restore disk to reinstall @ arrival
[10:02] <LordLimecat> standard op @ clients
[10:02] <LordLimecat> or use pc de-crapifier, designed for dells :D
[10:02] <hobojohn3> tekm8: he built it himself and was using all this stuff that he thought was free that turned out to only be "trial" also known as a rip off once testing is over
[10:02] <LordLimecat> hobojohn3: then reinstall, and use proper freeware
[10:02] <tekm8> hobojohn3, i see, well, again, use freeware apps, not shareware apps
[10:02] <hobojohn3> lordlimecat: thats what i told him
[10:02] <LordLimecat> dont blame microsoft for things that arent their fault, they DO do bad things, but lets keep it all in proportion
[10:02] <fiery_cleric> hobojohn3: did hey buy windows separately?
[10:03] <LordLimecat> microsoft=/=devil
[10:03] <LordLimecat> cough PIRATEBAY.ORG cough
[10:03] <hobojohn3> fiery_cleric: he thought he did
[10:03] <Rat409> lol
[10:03] <ph33rz> blah this blows
[10:04] <ph33rz> i cant get my drivers working
[10:04] <sorcerer22> windows still makes things soo much easier coz other stuff upports their os more .. i hate that part of teh deal
[10:04] <LordLimecat> ph33rz: which ones?
[10:04] <ardchoille> !offtopic
[10:04] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:04] <ph33rz> Nvidia
[10:04] <LordLimecat> sorcerer22: yea, but thatll change soon, look @ firefox :D
[10:04] <tekm8> sorcerer22, i agree, and is why i still use windows and only install windows on customer boxes, unless specified not to.
[10:04] <LordLimecat> opensource+=win
[10:05] <Doxa> Hi, I don't know if I'm in the right room
 can I get the 333 or 400 ram into  motherboard that supports 266? </offtopic>
[10:05] <LordLimecat> !nvidia | ph33rz
[10:05] <ubotu> ph33rz: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:05] <Doxa> I was trying to create a Ubuntu boot installation from my USB stick
[10:05] <tekm8> sorcerer22, i use linux to tinker, and to watch the development
[10:05] <fiery_cleric> yeah open source + windows makes a nice system
[10:05] <Doxa> and I accidently created a partition on a external hard drive I have
[10:05] <Shootfast> ph33rz: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-xconfig
[10:05] <sorcerer22> see thas that bad part iam a infomatiion systems major and i dont think i will be geting int unix or linux big time or even use it
[10:05] <LordLimecat> seriously, windows does have some nice stuff
[10:05] <sorcerer22> i hate windows
[10:05] <LordLimecat> ie, vibestreamer
[10:05] <Doxa> Now I suspect I may have lost all my data.....
[10:06] <LordLimecat> and guildftp
[10:06] <cy_`> moin
[10:06] <ShappaShaz> evening
[10:06] <hobojohn3> k new question does anyone know of a really good list of windows to linux equivelants?
[10:06] <LordLimecat> also, that loveable paperclip
[10:06] <cy_`> is there a release date for the Feisty final ?
[10:06] <ShappaShaz> die you fracking paperclip!
[10:06] <ph33rz> How do i find out what bus id my graphic card is hooked up too and its on pci express do i have to change ne thing for that ?
[10:06] <LordLimecat> cy_`: yes...2 days :D
[10:06] <ardchoille> Please take the Windows chat to #windows.
[10:06] <tekm8> hobojohn3, what software are you trying to replace?
[10:06] <bill_k> lspci
[10:06] <cy_`> ok, thanks LordLimecat
[10:06] <LordLimecat> :D
[10:06] <LordLimecat> theres a #windows?  my mind boggles
[10:06] <sorcerer22> will unix ever be like microsoft .. i mean .. like public people will be useing more it would come with .. dell computer and what not
[10:06] <fiery_cleric> google it u will find heaps of them
[10:07] <LordLimecat> wow o.0
[10:07] <hobojohn3> tekm8: you name it he wants an equivelant
[10:07] <LordLimecat> there IS!
[10:07] <bill_k> ph33rz: lspci maybe
[10:07] <bill_k> or the gui device manager
[10:07] <tekm8> sorcerer22, maybe, depending on the user demand
[10:07] <Doxa> Where can I get help on recovering data from an external harddrive?
[10:07] <ShappaShaz> you can always open synaptic and type a keyword matching the program you want
[10:07] <tekm8> hobojohn3, well, what does he use the comp for?
[10:07] <LordLimecat> sorcerer22: er.....you DO know that dell ships with linux, probably in 2 days (IMO, they just say soon)
[10:07] <LordLimecat> IM betting they start when feisty ships :D
[10:08] <sorcerer22> LordLimecat: i mean lilke.. more commercials about it go mainstream collegstudent pormoting and markting that way
[10:08] <preaction> Dell had that survey last month, i wonder if Ubuntu won
[10:08] <Rat409> Doxa: you might want to try a specialty rescue llive-cd or try using synaptic and install gpart==gyess partition tables,not foolproof,but good,maybe 99% iirc
[10:08] <LordLimecat> sorcerer22: you mean like...dude, yer getting dellinux!
[10:08] <LordLimecat> i hope not :D
[10:08] <sorcerer22> lol
[10:08] <sorcerer22> lol
[10:08] <sorcerer22> lol
[10:08] <LordLimecat> cause i hate that guy
[10:08] <tekm8> Hobbsee, i would need a list of what he does on the comp, and i could prolly find some software equivalant for linux
[10:08] <hobojohn3> tekm8: gamedev, music editing, gaming, school,
[10:08] <sorcerer22> i mean what ever ..
[10:09] <sorcerer22> like lnuc be the new frontier not windows
[10:09] <sorcerer22> linux
[10:09] <hobojohn3> i was just wondering if there is a good consolidated list
[10:09] <tekm8> hobojohn3, haha, well, gaming is out of the question (if he is a big gamer)
[10:09] <LordLimecat> im not an expert...but personally, i see ubuntu becoming the new firefox--known and respected by all
[10:09] <LordLimecat> ie, MS will haev to recognize it
[10:09] <hobojohn3> wine is a godsend for him
[10:10] <preaction> LordLimecat: they already recognize it as a threat, internal memos were leaked
[10:10] <balor> Anyone know how to get subversion to replace $Rev:$ in documents with a revision number?
[10:10] <tekm8> hobojohn3, for school, openoffice should suffice...what type of music editing are you talking about?
[10:10] <LordLimecat> preaction: ive seen those, and personally, i DO wonder which ones are real/...beware of photoshops :)
[10:10] <LordLimecat> especialyl on digg
[10:10] <hobojohn3> fruityloops would be veeeeeeeeeery nice or something very close to it
[10:10] <Keyseir> I'm having a problem with my entire video cutting out while running WoW under wine on edgy.
[10:10] <sorcerer22> microsoft always uses .. other people technology or just study and then invest big and build on idead thats already been built on
[10:10] <preaction> LordLimecat: this was years ago, but it doesn't matter
[10:11] <hobojohn3> with the button pusiong for the beat
[10:11] <LordLimecat> regardless, by recognize, i mean they will have reason to make their bootloader see grub, or read ext3
[10:11] <Keyseir> Screen goes black suddenly, sound keeps playing, monitor says it's receiving no signal.
[10:11] <hobojohn3> rosegarden isnt good enoguh
[10:11] <hobojohn3> and smartftp
[10:11] <hobojohn3> is also very neede
[10:11] <tekm8> hobojohn3, good luck trying to replace fruityloops ....i wouldn't know on that one...i'll do a google search though
[10:11] <Keyseir> I'm wondering if I'm having a software issue or if my vidcard is having issues.
[10:12] <hobojohn3> rosegarden and one that is made for osx arent close enough
[10:12] <hobojohn3> he also uses audacity alot wich comes preinstalled
[10:12] <tekm8> hobojohn3, maybe multimedia studio?
[10:12] <persen> Hi, does linux has the ability to create a VPN with a XP box?
[10:13] <bill_k> my roomate and I don't get along well, I would never unbox a monitor at 3am otherwise
[10:13] <hobojohn3> tekm8?whats that?
[10:13] <fiery_cleric> persen: sure does
[10:13] <LordLimecat> persen: i was unaware that xp could be a VPN server?
[10:13] <fiery_cleric> persen: using openvpn on both ends
[10:13] <persen> maybe its not XP, its windows at least :/
[10:13] <bill_k> yup xp can do almost anything with vmware server and linux installed :)
[10:13] <tekm8> hobojohn3, http://lmms.sourceforge.net/
[10:13] <LordLimecat> lol
[10:13] <persen> I dont control the windows side.
[10:14] <chemaja> bill_k, just very slowly
[10:14] <LordLimecat> ...why wouldnt you just use a WRT54g/compatible+ddwrt
[10:14] <LordLimecat> :D
[10:14] <chemaja> is anyone familiar with Centrino Pro?
[10:14] <chemaja> im thinking of waiting for this to release before buying a laptop
[10:14] <chemaja> apparently only a couple months away
[10:14] <persen> so i should use openvpn then?
[10:14] <chemaja> or less
[10:14] <chemaja> persen, it sucks
[10:15] <chemaja> persen, sorry pptp sucks... i guess openvpn is ok :)
[10:15] <LordLimecat> anyone in here gotten a wiimote workin on ubuntu?
[10:15] <Keyseir> Is anyone here familiar with Wine, WoW, and video card issues?
[10:15] <LordLimecat> Keyseir: possibly, i use all of those
[10:15] <LordLimecat> especially a video card
[10:15] <chemaja> lol
[10:15] <Keyseir> LordLimecat:  I'm having a problem with my entire video cutting out while running WoW under wine on ubuntu edgy.
[10:16] <Keyseir> LordLimecat: Screen goes black suddenly, sound keeps playing, monitor says it's receiving no signal.
[10:16] <LordLimecat> does the whole comp lock up for like 5 seconds at a time?
[10:16] <hobojohn3> is there a good text to speech synth effect
[10:16] <LordLimecat> oph
[10:16] <LordLimecat> no, i havent had THAT....
[10:16] <LordLimecat> but ive had comp lockups
[10:16] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, So far I have not had this happen when WoW is not running
[10:16] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, And it has happened repeatedly.
[10:16] <LordLimecat> my suggestion.,...
[10:16] <LordLimecat> run WoW from terminal
[10:16] <LordLimecat> aoss wine 'path to wow.exe'
[10:17] <LordLimecat> itll show you any errors/messages in terminal
[10:17] <Keyseir> aoss?
[10:17] <tekm8> hobojohn3, festival
[10:17] <fiery_cleric> !info festival
[10:17] <LordLimecat> yea...make sure you have alsa-oss as well
[10:17] <LordLimecat> or else sound will be...messed up
[10:17] <LordLimecat> long story
[10:17] <LordLimecat> -_-
[10:17] <Keyseir> I wondered why sound wouldn't work.
[10:17] <ubotu> festival: general multi-lingual speech synthesis system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.4.3-17.1ubuntu5 (edgy), package size 710 kB, installed size 2120 kB
[10:17] <fiery_cleric> slow...
[10:17] <wrodrigues> exit
[10:17] <LordLimecat> yea....heres the nutshell version
[10:17] <wrodrigues> ?
[10:17] <Keyseir> I definitely get errors with WoW running, and I don't know what they mean. I hadn't had issues for a week or two since i started playing
[10:18] <LordLimecat> the sound driver that WoW can handle on linux is OSS< which is older....and OSS can only handle 1 program generating sounds @ once on it
[10:18] <LordLimecat> alsa is newer, and isnt limited...but WoW wont work with alsa
[10:18] <Keyseir> Hmmm
[10:18] <Keyseir> I see.
[10:18] <LordLimecat> aoss runs oss thru alsa
[10:18] <Keyseir> I also have an issue with WoW locking up the computer  at startup.
[10:18] <LordLimecat> so its sort of like fake oss
[10:18] <fiery_cleric> alsa supports software mixing ... oss doesnt .... but some hardware can do the mixing it self
[10:19] <Keyseir> This is what happens... I start wow from terminal, it starts loading, whiel the window is kinda greeny and now loaded it sometimes freezes
[10:19] <Keyseir> every window/moving thing on the screen freezes
[10:19] <Keyseir> But I can still move my cursar. What does that mean?
[10:19] <LordLimecat> ....i would run it from terminal
[10:19] <LordLimecat> so you can see errors...
[10:19] <Keyseir> I am running it from terminal, and i don't know what the errors mean. Could you take a lot at the errors for me?
[10:20] <LordLimecat> did you do any tweaks to get it to run properly?
[10:20] <Keyseir> *look
[10:20] <Keyseir> Ah no, could you give me a link to tweaks I should work on?
[10:20] <LordLimecat> Keyseir: i sort of just guess what they mean, i dotn want to mislead you
[10:20] <LordLimecat> :D
[10:20] <LordLimecat> alright, one sec
[10:20] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, I think any advice you might give me would be a step in the right direction.
[10:20] <LucidFox> hdparm doesn't show the DMA flag for my SATA HDD - should I assume it's on or off?
[10:20] <LordLimecat> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[10:20] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, I appreciate your assistance so far.
[10:20] <LordLimecat> youve done most of the steps (ie, getting wow, and wine)
[10:20] <bill_k> anyone here good at installing video drivers? just followed the binarydriverhowto and crashed X (won't restart)
[10:21] <LordLimecat> start with configuration :D
[10:21] <fiery_cleric> vesa ?
[10:21] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, ok
[10:22] <hobojohn3> does anyone know of a bug where ubuntu doesnt show some of the things i have installed and if so wheere do they go?
[10:22] <hobojohn3> i just installed some programs i want to work with
[10:22] <LordLimecat> hobojohn3: not all things show in menu
[10:22] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, Heh, I got errors with winecfg.
[10:22] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, Pastbining.
[10:22] <LordLimecat> alrighty :D
[10:23] <A_I_> hi
[10:23] <LordLimecat> hobojohn3: you know about tab completion, right
[10:23] <bill_k> hobojohn3: not all things you apt-get will show under the programs menu
[10:23] <hobojohn3> lordlimecat: where do i find it then if its not under applications?
[10:23] <LordLimecat> what did you install?
[10:23] <fiery_cleric> hobojohn3: yeah do dpkg -L <packagename> to find out what files a package installed
[10:23] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16087/
[10:23] <bill_k> it really depends on the program
[10:23] <hobojohn3> lordlimecat nope
[10:23] <A_I_> I've just update from edgy to feisty
[10:23] <LordLimecat> if you type the first few letters, then press tab, itll complete the command for you
[10:23] <bill_k> aah cool
[10:23] <A_I_> and I've some problems with apache ldap auth
[10:23] <LordLimecat> so if you installed command "foobar"
[10:23] <LordLimecat> you could type "foo" and hit tab'
[10:23] <LordLimecat> i pretty much use that to see what i installed o.0
[10:23] <A_I_> where is the module auth_ldap.load ???
[10:24] <bill_k> and ls
[10:24] <bill_k> or the gui manager
[10:24] <hobojohn3> lmms and festival
[10:24] <bill_k> can anyone help with a binarydriver?
[10:24] <bill_k> video
[10:24] <LordLimecat> try typing in festival in terminal
[10:24] <LordLimecat> or festival[doubletab]
[10:25] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, I'm getting errors with that kde thing while running a lot of programs, doesn't look like I own the directory or something..
[10:25] <LordLimecat> oh!
[10:25] <LordLimecat> you should use sudo then
[10:25] <LordLimecat> are you familiar with sudo?
[10:25] <Caplain> how do   onvert spaces in a file to %20 ?
[10:25] <Keyseir> Yes, I'm not that big of a noob
[10:25] <LordLimecat> lol, k
[10:25] <Keyseir> I don't know why I don't own the .kde directory though
[10:25] <LordLimecat> try sudo winecfg (although...dont remember needing that)
[10:25] <LordLimecat> you could chmod it o.0
[10:26] <LordLimecat> to take control
[10:26] <Keyseir> Yar.
[10:26] <LordLimecat> explaination?
[10:26] <Keyseir> recursively chown ing it work?
[10:26] <LordLimecat> thatll work too o.0
[10:26] <Toufas> still, ubuntu live cd same error as the other version
[10:26] <Toufas> black screen doing nothing
[10:26] <LordLimecat> never tried that/didnt know that command
[10:26] <LordLimecat> o.0
[10:26] <fiery_cleric> Caplain: in filename or contents of file
[10:27] <Doxa> I need some one-on-one help
[10:27] <Caplain> fiery_cleric, contents
[10:27] <Doxa> Can anyone help me?
[10:27] <tekm8> hobojohn3, you can also add those in the menu selection by going to system, preferences, menu layout and then typing in the terminal command that you use to start the app
[10:27] <Caplain> Doxa, whats the issue?
[10:27] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, alright, i'm still getting errors. winecfg starts up, but when I click the audio tab errors pop up.
[10:27] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, It switched to the tab this time, but errors
[10:27] <hobojohn3> is there a gui for festival?
[10:27] <fiery_cleric> Caplain: do u just want space to %20 ... or do want to url encode the contents?
[10:28] <LordLimecat> omg, tekm8, thats really cool
[10:28] <Caplain> space convert to %20
[10:28] <LordLimecat> no more manual creation of .desktops for me!
[10:28] <LordLimecat> :D!
[10:28] <Keyseir> LordLimecat,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16088/
[10:28] <tekm8> LordLimecat, :)
[10:28] <VirhYl3> Hi, can I ask Feisty Questions in here yet?
[10:28] <VirhYl3> I just need to create a Launcher for a Wine app.
[10:28] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b" is also an error I get when running wow under wine.
[10:29] <LordLimecat> VirhYl3: you could, but ubuntu+1 may be more helpful
[10:29] <LordLimecat> and ppl may yell at you here
[10:29] <LordLimecat> for being off topic, i mean
[10:29] <LordLimecat> i promise i wont
[10:29] <fiery_cleric> Caplain: sed -i 's/ /%20/g' myfilewithspaces
[10:29] <Toufas> just burned ubuntu on a disc (live cd version), booted, select the option to install, got the loading screen, then screen goes black, i hear some music playing and then no disk activity and nothing on screen
[10:29] <VirhYl3> That's why I asked.  But maybe creating a Launcher is the same process?
[10:29] <Caplain> fiery_cleric, thanks
[10:29] <Doxa> Caplain? Did you get my message?
[10:30] <LordLimecat> Keyseir: is alsa installed?
[10:30] <pavs> i tried ubuntu+1 many time i almost never got any help there. there are not enough people and nobody really answers.
[10:30] <LordLimecat> ima have to go soon....
[10:30] <tekm8> hobojohn3, here ya go http://sourceforge.net/projects/carnival/
[10:30] <tekm8> hobojohn3, that's a gui for it
[10:30] <LordLimecat> but you want to make sure you have alsa installed, and aoss too
[10:30] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> what's the file with the list of repositories? :o
[10:30] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, Yes.
[10:30] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> http://rafb.net/p/fyJNNu59.html <=- think i may have messed up a little
[10:30] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> but i can't remember where the file is ><
[10:31] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, What about the libgl warnings? Driver issues?
[10:31] <LordLimecat> /etc/apt/sources.lst
[10:31] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> thx o/
[10:31] <LordLimecat> {uX}l`VampyrCeil: also, theres a cache you can delete somewhere that sometimes fixes that
[10:31] <LordLimecat> i forget where it is, but someone may know, i think its somewhere in /usr
[10:31] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> there's a lot of stuff in /usr lol
[10:31] <LordLimecat> i kno :(
[10:32] <green_> well i solved my mplayer issues with playing streamlink
[10:32] <LordLimecat> but theres a lot less than ther is in /
[10:32] <LordLimecat> so its a start
[10:32] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> i'll just try my luck at editing the sources.list :p
[10:32] <LordLimecat> if it doesnt work, its the cache
[10:32] <LordLimecat> i had that issue
[10:32] <deepsa> hi
[10:32] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> yeh, and i got a friend that i can bug about it later if this doesn't work
[10:32] <deepsa> when is 7.04 coming guys?
[10:32] <deepsa> any ideas
[10:32] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> the 19th
[10:32] <deepsa> is it finalized?
[10:33] <deepsa> at what time on 19th guys?
[10:33] <hobojohn3> is therre a very detailed voice synthesizer for linux yet?
[10:33] <stefg> Toufas: probably the supported refresh rate of your monitor is detected wrong, so it goes out of sync. Wasn't there a 'safe graphics' option at the bott menu?
[10:33] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> actually, i don't know what time o_O
[10:33] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> i'm just waitin' for the 20th anyway to see if the forum fills up with bug reports :p
[10:33] <deepsa> oh i can't wait no longer.
[10:33] <Doxa> Can anyone help me with recovering data from an external hard drive?

[10:35] <pavs> release candidate
[10:35] <LordLimecat> {uX}l`VampyrCeil: WOOT found it
[10:35] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> :o
[10:35] <tekm8> hobojohn3, fala is another gui that's for gnome
[10:35] <LordLimecat> /var/cache/apt
[10:35] <deepsa> pavs k
[10:35] <pavs> i have been using it for more than a week now. no problems whatsoever.
[10:36] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> archives  pkgcache.bin  srcpkgcache.bin
[10:36] <pavs> if there is any changes it automatically gets updated
[10:36] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> ??
[10:36] <LordLimecat> yea, im 99% positive its the archives folder
[10:36] <LordLimecat> back it up, and try moving it
[10:36] <LordLimecat> then do sudo apt-get update
[10:36] <LordLimecat> it should take longer than normal, and regenerate the cache
[10:36] <sciboy> I hope you're proud of yourselves. =/
[10:36] <VirhYl3> Yeah, Feisty is great.  It's released on Thurs, so you may as well get used to Feisty stuff in here now, no?
[10:36] <LordLimecat> if it breaks, restore the backup
[10:36] <LordLimecat> not POSITIVE, but pretty sure thats the place
[10:37] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> how do i rename again?
[10:37] <age6racer> hey all, how do I extract the contents from a .rpm file?
[10:37] <hobojohn3> i want one that i can change it to other voices and all kinds of things to add effects to it and such
[10:37] <LordLimecat> {uX}l`VampyrCeil: you move the file :)
[10:37] <LordLimecat> mv
[10:37] <LordLimecat> mv archives archiveold
[10:37] <nrgy> age6racer, install the rpm deb and then use fileroller to open and extract
[10:37] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> thx o/
[10:38] <green_> age6racer use alien
[10:38] <nrgy> or use alien either or
[10:38] <pavs> biggest improvement over edgy IMO is speed. just runs smooth AFA GUI is concerned. Finally something faster than fedora.
[10:38] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.
[10:38] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, Did a tweak with regedit, gonna start us up and check the errors
[10:38] <tekm8> hobojohn3, take a look here: http://linux-sound.org/speech.html
[10:38] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> was worth a shot :x
[10:38] <nrgy> only prob ive had since updating today is compileing openexr caused an app that uses openexr to barf
[10:38] <green_> i just find it easier to convert .rpm's to .deb's
[10:38] <nrgy> i had to use gcc 3.4 to compile it
[10:39] <LordLimecat> Keyseir: theres also an xorg.conf tweak
[10:39] <LordLimecat> sleep in 5 mins >_<
[10:39] <Keyseir> LordLimecat, Link? and couldn't find package "aoss"

[10:43] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> renaming the cache broke it, but you told me where sources.list is :p
[10:44] <LordLimecat> but yoiu need drivers, probably
[10:44] <Toufas> guys i cant acces any gui when i am trying to install
[10:44] <LordLimecat> thats why
[10:44] <Toufas> i pressed ctrl alt f2
[10:44] <Toufas> and got the cmd prompt
[10:44] <mneptok> Toufas: try the alternate CD
[10:44] <Jaikkanen> sciboy: thanks alot

[10:45] <mneptok> sciboy: please watch the language
[10:45] <foug> tekm8: telling opera to open files with vlc
[10:45] <Dani> mneptop so i can use kdevelop to write programs for ubuntu and kubuntu i mean they would work in x and gnome
[10:46] <mneptok> Dani: of course
[10:46] <tekm8> foug, ...just a sec
[10:46] <LordLimecat> dani: the simplest solutions are usualyl the best :D

[10:48] <mneptok> LordLimecat: i thinkk *you* mean "terabyte" and not "terrabyte"  :P
[10:48] <LordLimecat> !ask | Ferrixman
[10:48] <ubotu> Ferrixman: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[10:49] <eck> mneptok: are you sure? the man page says 15 minutes
[10:49] <LordLimecat> :( leave me be :(
[10:49] <Keyseir> I would appreciate it if someone familiar with wine could review these error logs, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16090/, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16091/. Did tweak #1 on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft and now it's even worse.
[10:49] <pavs> lorlimecat where is it 4am?
[10:49] <Toufas> so there isnt a cmd from the cmd prompt that would start the installation?
[10:49] <LordLimecat> eastern coast USA
[10:49] <Ferrixman> i'm new to ubuntu... and to linux in general...
[10:50] <mneptok> eck: last i knew it had been iterated down. that may have changed.
[10:50] <pavs> 5am here in ny
[10:50] <Ferrixman> so... first: i have problems connecting to my wifi ap
[10:50] <mneptok> Toufas: try the alternate CD
[10:50] <Toufas>  Ubuntu 6.10 - Supported to 2008   Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - Supported to 2009
[10:50] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> i can't figure out what to remove, so can someone help me please? >< http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16092/
[10:50] <mneptok> Toufas: a different release version is not the alternate CD
[10:50] <Toufas> ok
[10:50] <Toufas> where do i get that?
[10:50] <mneptok> Toufas: any download mirror
[10:51] <Ferrixman> i configured my AP with WEP ascii key
[10:51] <Ferrixman> but now i can't figure out how to connect to it
[10:51] <pavs> mneptok anyway to increase the time for sudo command?
[10:51] <eck> Ferrixman: i would try connecting using the hex key just in case
[10:51] <Crazytom> Ferrixman, sudo iwconfig eth1 key yourkeyhere
[10:51] <{uX}l`VampyrCeil> i'm only seein' edgy-updates on there twice, once for 'deb' and once for 'deb-src'... how is it a duplicate entry? ;x
[10:51] <Keyseir> No Wine gurus awake?
[10:51] <LordLimecat> Keyseir: try #winehq :)
[10:51] <pavs> linksys sucks
[10:52] <Toufas> mirrors have only one download link
[10:52] <eck> pavs: it is in the man page, it is an option in the sudoers file
[10:52] <LordLimecat> pavs: not the wrt54g early models :D
[10:53] <Ferrixman> Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :             invalid argument "supercalifrag".
[10:53] <ia2> Can anyone give some direction/advice regarding SCIM?
[10:53] <pavs> lordlimecat you mean the one with the open firware? yeah that sucks too. it just brciked the other that. so did my belkin now I am proud owner of netgear. :)
[10:53] <Dani> how many here use vmplayer and virtualbox i find virtual box extremely slow

[10:53] <johnt> I am trying a map editor in the game widelands any one know how I can get the hq (default building) to be included
[10:53] <LordLimecat> its unbrickable
[10:54] <mneptok> USR8200 FTW :)
[10:54] <Crazytom> Ferrixman, your wep key should probably be a number or hexidecimal
[10:54] <LordLimecat> whats that, mneptok
[10:54] <Ferrixman> can i pm you to get help, please?
[10:54] <eck> Ferrixman: if you use an ascii key with iwconfig the format is key s:you_key
[10:54] <green_> i'm having fun playing with beryl
[10:54] <ia2> SCIM? anyone...
[10:54] <eck> Ferrixman: e.g. iwconfig eth1 essid foo key s:bar
[10:54] <pavs> lordlimecat you mean the one with the open firware? yeah that sucks too. it just brciked the other that. so did my belkin now I am proud owner of netgear. :)
[10:54] <mneptok> LordLimecat: US Robotics 8200 VPN router
[10:55] <LordLimecat> heh, this asus one was like $100...but has built in usb ports--2 of em'
[10:55] <LordLimecat> default firmware can mount webcams, printers, and massstorage
[10:55] <eck> Ferrixman: although i recommend you just use network manager
[10:55] <LordLimecat> its also crazy fast, and can recover from anythin
[10:55] <LordLimecat> 32 megs ram, 266mhz processor :D
[10:56] <pavs> psss
[10:56] <Ferrixman> i'd like to use network manager
[10:56] <johnt> I am trying a map editor in the game widelands any one know how I can get the hq (default building) to be included
[10:56] <LordLimecat> it ever gets bricked, you hit the recovery button and run the program, itll connect to the router and restore firmware
[10:56] <eck> Ferrixman: install network-manager-gnome and then restart your gnome session
[10:56] <LordLimecat> had to do it like 4-5 times after bad flashes
[10:56] <LordLimecat> swapped between firmwares like 20 times
[10:58] <pavs> lordlimecat i have tried resetting/pinging during powerup/shorting ping15-16 on the chip nothing worked i was using the version 5
[10:58] <johnt> no one to help me with widelands then????
[10:58] <LordLimecat> im talking about the asus wl-500gp
[10:58] <LordLimecat> has a restore button
[10:59] <pavs> sorry i thought you were talking about linksys
[10:59] <Ferrixman> i installed it via application -> add/remove
[10:59] <Ferrixman> gonna restart my system and see how it is working
[10:59] <LordLimecat> no, linksys arent really reliable
 hi Bruce
[11:00] <LordLimecat> check out the asus one :)
[11:00] <pavs> i am using netgear, awesome speed. fastest sofar. belkin used to freeze up a lot.
[11:01] <yigal> i am using a crappy belkin but its great
[11:01] <yigal> r u foke using wpa?
[11:01] <pavs> belkin is better than linksys anyday.
[11:01] <johnt> <zcat[1] > did you get the ram I dropped round today?
[11:01] <bcochofel> I'm trying to autofs my usbdrive but even with the --timeout option it doesn't get umount. What's the problem with autofs with ubuntu 6.10?
[11:01] <LordLimecat> eh....

[11:02] <LordLimecat> gnight all :D
[11:02] <kippi> I am trying to umount a samaba share and keep on getting umount: /smb: device is busy how can I remove this?
[11:02] <yigal> LL: gn
[11:02] <yigal> kippi: you are not in the directory, no process?
[11:03] <bcochofel> kippi: to umount you can't be using the drive
[11:03] <pavs> yigal i guess i just had horrible experience with linksys, more than once. on top of that their customer service sucked big time. I guess I am just being winy
[11:03] <yigal> kippi: in any way
[11:03] <kippi> there samaba shares that did not connect
[11:03] <kippi> can I just delete them from /etc/mtab
[11:04] <yigal> pavs: I like messing with wireless routers until either I break or it breaks or we are happy :)
[11:04] <yigal> pavs: I meant dongles
[11:04] <pavs> :)
[11:04] <johnt> I am trying a map editor in the game widelands any one know how I can get the hq (default building) to be included
[11:05] <yigal> pavs: do you have linksys router - the open source 1?
[11:05] <felixhummel> I want to scan for local WLANs from bash - what tool do I need? I tried kismet a while ago, but it's meant for sniffing, not for connecting...
[11:05] <pavs> yigal yes i do. its bricked. so i threw it somewhere in my basment :)
[11:05] <yigal> felixhummel: wireless-tools has everything
[11:06] <yigal> pavs: lol
[11:06] <pavs> its good for nothing yigal
[11:06] <johnt> Thanks anyway BYE!!!!!
[11:07] <felixhummel> yigal, well I use iwconfig for configuration, but how do I get a list of Essids?
[11:07] <yigal> pavs: I am sorry to hear :( I had so much hope I wanted to wpa2 with all sorts of other nice stuff and its open source
[11:07] <green_> broken keyboards fly good after u cut off the cord
[11:07] <bcochofel> Under ubuntu I'm getting a lot of Buffer I/O error on device sdbN, logical block messages. What's the problem?
[11:08] <yigal> felixhummel: I am sorry its been a very long time and I didn't take notes, but I know you can - I know this doesn't count for much.
[11:09] <yigal> felixhummel: iwlist scan
[11:09] <felixhummel> yigal, thanks, I'll try
[11:10] <yigal> felixhummel: the format is : iwlist "device" scan
[11:11] <amias> lo all
[11:11] <felixhummel> yigal, yes, but it did not work, though iwconfig works :/
[11:11] <felixhummel> i dont get it
[11:11] <yigal> felixhummel: you might have to tweak it to get all networks to be sean
[11:11] <BluRay> hello.. where to set dns server in ubuntu?
[11:11] <BluRay> i've added default gateway to my router and setup ip adresses, but don't know how to setup dns servers
[11:11] <amias> anyone got any idea why the update-manager packages aren't signed , looks dodgy to me
[11:12] <pavs> iwlist scan will scan with the default connected device, done have to specify device (me thinks)
[11:12] <yigal> felixhummel: ok, what is your device? rausb0
[11:12] <felixhummel> yigal, eth1
[11:12] <felixhummel> yigal, thanks very much
[11:12] <yigal> felixhummel: so "iwscan eth1" scan gives nothing?
[11:12] <felixhummel> it's working
[11:12] <felixhummel> it does
[11:13] <felixhummel> though last time i tried it didn't
[11:13] <felixhummel> mhm
[11:13] <Doxa> So I know I've already asked this question a few times in this room... but I really need someone to help me with something one-on-one for just a few minutes
[11:13] <felixhummel> mom pls
[11:13] <wo0lverine> hello
[11:13] <Doxa> A lot of people being really helpful suggesting stuff, but I'm newbie and half the time don't really understand what's being talked about
[11:13] <mneptok> Doxa: purchase a support contract and i'll talk to you for as long as you'd like ;)
[11:14] <yigal> felixhummel: I think that is the way to go.  I am serious, if you have the $.
[11:14] <Ferrixman> wow... now it works!
[11:14] <felixhummel> yigal, i thought maybe when already connected, it does not work, but it just works perfectly. thank you again :)
[11:14] <yigal> felixhummel: Awesome
[11:14] <Ferrixman> what about changing to WPA?
[11:14] <felixhummel> yigal, what do you mean by "if you have the $"?
[11:14] <Doxa> At this rate... that's what i'm going to end up having to do....
[11:15] <yigal> felixhummel: now I go to bed
[11:15] <VSpike> How can I find out which installed packages have come from a given repository?
[11:15] <pavs> mneptok works for canonical?
[11:15] <RamCia> witka
[11:15] <mneptok> VSpike: apt-cache show $packagename
[11:15] <VSpike> And if I remove a repo from the sources list, will apt(itude) (auto)remove the packages from that repo?
[11:15] <mneptok> no
[11:15] <imon9> hello
[11:15] <foug> my video lags when i try to go full screen, any ideas?
[11:16] <Doxa> can someone help me?
[11:16] <imon9> i need some help on ubuntu about my sound card
[11:16] <Doxa> it really shouldn't be for that long
[11:16] <felixhummel> foug, graphics driver
[11:16] <imon9> Doca, waht is the matter?
[11:16] <pavs> doxa just ask your question here noone will help you one on one
[11:16] <VSpike> mneptok: Is it possible to list packages for a specific repo?  I think your command will show me which repo a given package comes from.
[11:16] <Doxa> imon9, i'll contact you now one-on-one
[11:16] <foug> felixhummel: they are installed, and dma=on
[11:16] <pavs> lol
[11:16] <imon9> i want to know how to use speaker-test command with spesific wavfile please
[11:16] <Ferrixman> can anyone help me to vary the frequency of cpu on a laptop in order to increase battery life?
[11:17] <Doxa> imon9 did you get my message
[11:17] <felixhummel> Ferrixman, manually? i think automatic control is activated by default
[11:17] <mneptok> VSpike: with multiple thousands of available packages, that's not practical
[11:17] <Ferrixman> i'd like to do it manually, yes
[11:18] <imon9> no doxa, just type it here
[11:18] <Doxa> basically
[11:18] <imon9> type it here so that anyone else who see ur problem can comment too
[11:18] <Doxa> I tried to create an ubuntu install of a USB stick
[11:18] <Doxa> and I did what the ubuntu documentation said about it
[11:18] <VSpike> mneptok: I'm talking about installed packages specifically
[11:18] <felixhummel> Ferrixman, sorry - no idea (google, help.ubuntu.com/community, ubuntuforums)
[11:18] <Doxa> which didn't work
[11:18] <Doxa> and then i realized
[11:18] <imon9> did ur bios support boot using USB?
[11:19] <Doxa> yes, but that's not the issue
[11:19] <mneptok> !enter > Doxa
[11:19] <foug> anyone know why my video lags when I try to go full screen? I've installed my drivers as far as i know (beryl is running) dma=on if that helps at all, I never had this problem in windows.
[11:19] <Doxa> basically
[11:19] <Ferrixman> ok... other question: how can i connect to a wifi AP protected with WPA instead of simple WEP?
[11:19] <felixhummel> mneptok, what does your "!enter" command do?
[11:19] <Doxa> my external hard drive was still connected, and what I did was accidentally create a partition on my external drive
[11:20] <felixhummel> Ferrixman, wpa_supplicant
[11:20] <felixhummel> read the docs
[11:20] <Doxa> now I have a partition on that drive that's only 16 mb in size (it's a 250gb drive) and none of my files
[11:20] <Doxa> I want to bring the drive back to how it was
[11:20] <Doxa> I need to know a) how to recover my data b) how to get the partitions back to how they were
[11:20] <mneptok> Doxa: the data is gone.
[11:20] <imon9> ic
[11:20] <sammi> I am having trouble with my pop3 thunderbird
[11:20] <mneptok> Doxa: partitioning is a destructive process
[11:21] <imon9> u may be able to get back some data back with test-drive
[11:21] <Doxa> right, so I installed testdrive cause someone mentioned that
[11:21] <Doxa> but how do I use it?
[11:21] <Doxa> The manual wasn't very helpful
[11:21] <imon9> well ...can u hold on a sec...i will give u 2 link
[11:21] <Doxa> I really need an almost step-by-step guide... I'm really new with this
[11:22] <Doxa> mneptok, are you sure there's absolutely no way to recover that data?
[11:22] <imon9> yah..please hold one a second...i will be back with u doxa
[11:22] <sciboy> Hey guys, nvidia ain't working for me.
[11:22] <MasterGH> hi, could someone help me get my sound working again? I'm using Edgy
[11:22] <foug> MasterGH: make sure it isn't muted
[11:22] <mneptok> Doxa: it is not a trivial task
[11:23] <Doxa> I know... but it's extremely important.
[11:23] <MasterGH> foug: its not muted
[11:23] <sciboy> I'm using Feisty with the 2.6.20 kernel and included restricted module.
[11:23] <foug> MasterGH: you've opened alsa mixer and double checked? MM = muted, make sure all channels are unmute
[11:23] <imon9> there is 2 way to get back your data Doxa: but first you must create a partition  for the rest of your drive
[11:23] <MasterGH> foug: I'll look again
[11:23] <Doxa> imon9: couldn't that erase everything?
[11:23] <foug> anyone know why my video lags when I try to go full screen? I've installed my drivers as far as i know (beryl is running) dma=on if that helps at all, I never had this problem in windows.
[11:24] <Doxa> imon9: i mean, won't that ruin any chance of recoverY?
[11:24] <afd_> hi! I'm having problem with the time on my computer. I'm living in Eastern Europe (+2 GMT) and I have selected the timezone and have automatically update the time from the internet. The problem is that it doesn't do day-light savings, and the time is one hour early. What can I do to fix it?
[11:24] <Ferrixman> does wpa_supplicant have a graphic interface?
[11:24] <imon9> what you did already erase the "file structure" or your harddrive
[11:24] <scotthammy> Hi, Do you know where a change list for version 6.10 to 7.04 beta?
[11:24] <sciboy> Pretty much it's just going cannot initialise device, and when i go to /proc/driver/nvidia/card/0 it has no idea what the video bios is
[11:24] <felixhummel> Doxa, no - partitions are written to the beginning of an HD
[11:24] <MasterGH> foug: how do I make sure they are all un-muted? a command I can do?
[11:24] <imon9> so your system are not able to find them coz they dont have a reference to where the file ares...but your physiscal data is still there in your drive
[11:24] <foug> MasterGH: press M
[11:25] <Doxa> I'm not sure what exactly i did. I cut and pasted the command from the ubuntu website
[11:25] <MasterGH> foug: ahh ok
[11:25] <sciboy> Now considering the 6.06 live cd had no issues i'm having a hard time figuring out what changed between that and my new installation
[11:25] <bo2> hi everyone, I'm looking for an 'apple' like application starter - any hints
[11:25] <Doxa> noticed it didn't have an affect on my usb stick (obviously) and only then noticed that it created a new partition on my external hd
[11:25] <MasterGH> foug: hmm still not working
[11:25] <foug> MasterGH:  out of ideas then, hehe. Has it ever worked?
[11:26] <felixhummel> bo2, katapult of kde (i dont know the apple starter)
