[11:06] <david_J> Q[e]D: gksu firestarter
[11:06] <david_J> Q[e]D: else you didnt install it
[11:06] <Jordan_U> bigmoe, mono
[11:06] <Q[e]D> well I installed it and it gets run by default at every system startup. I want to disable this :)
[11:06] <uchazco> wols_ - ok... /dev/sdb1 (encrypted real device) is now available at /dev/mapper/truecrypt0 (unencrypted, acts as real device), but not mounted... so I run fsck /dev/mapper... safely now?
[11:06] <Jordan_U> bigmoe, That will do C# at the very least
[11:07] <Jordan_U> bigmoe, Wait, nvm
[11:07] <david_J> Q[e]D: Go into the firestarter options, disable the init script, or remove it
[11:07] <david_J> Q[e]D: Really don't know what option the room will condone
[11:07] <david_J> Q[e]D: I just use straight iptable rules

[11:08] <jgoo> How can I stop whichever component of gnome makes the thumbnails from trying to make a thumbnail or a file that is open for WRITE ACCESS.
[11:09] <shade052_>  piyush: do you have any other groups o your system
[11:09] <Q[e]D> david_J: well, I installed it because I had to. I wasn't able to open some sites and learned that it was a kernel issue. I installed firestarter to solve it but I dont want to get it at every start. I played with options and disabled it but it still gets run by default :/
[11:09] <jgoo> I am saving a video file to the desktop, and I am curious why every 2-3 seconds it keeps retrying to make a thumbnail. It seems awfully painful and wasteful.
[11:09] <Tilllinu1> simplyubuntu: are you running ubuntu on an amd64?
[11:09] <piyush> shade052:its showing blank
[11:10] <Tilllinu1> I did have the initramfs error, too, so i switched to 32bit, which worked ;D
[11:10] <simplyubuntu> Tillinu1 nope.
[11:10] <shade052_> most prob your upgrade wiped out the old groups and users
[11:10] <david_J> Q[e]D: /etc/init.d/firestarter stop
[11:10] <simplyubuntu> its more a cli than an error. i have no idea what to do
[11:10]  * Fesek just got a Creative Zen for christmas "Would anyone know what I could install yo be able to use it in ubuntu? Or maybe I could get it running through banshee? Any help is much appreciated."
[11:10] <uchazco> Okay... its very slowly checking... is there any way to make it show status the next time i do it?
[11:10] <simplyubuntu> i cant even copy my old debs from apt cache to install them.
[11:11] <shade052_> piyush:did you try groups cmd
[11:11] <simplyubuntu> theyre all on root partition
[11:11] <kerzinger> I have a raid 5 (consisting of 4 disks) and I want to reinstall ubuntu (installing not on the raid but on seperate disk). How do I resume/assemble the raid again? thanks in advance
[11:11] <Q[e]D> david_J: and to make this automatic at every system boot?
[11:11] <simplyubuntu> Tillinux any advice?
[11:11] <jgoo> ok I turned off thumbnails altogether for now, but I would hope that a thumbnail generator would check to see if a file lock would be possible, so a torrent saving to desktop does spend 24 hours trying to generate a thumbnail every 3 seconds...
[11:11] <kerzinger> forgot to add: its a software raid
[11:11] <piyush> shade052:wow its showing something new
[11:11] <fluxy> I am trying to install wine <IP_ADDRESS> and added the wine repos, but can't get the list. Error: Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1). Any ideas please?

[11:11] <Tillinux> simplyubuntu: nope, sry
[11:12] <Tillinux> check you ram ;D
[11:12] <piyush> shade052:whats that??
[11:12] <Tillinux> +r

[11:12] <fsanlu> hey guys where do you recommend besides the wonderful wiki and docs in ubuntu that i read up on linux and how it works? itsj ust cause right now im just getting the hang of it. any good places out there?
[11:12] <Tillinux> is there a wacom trigger?
[11:12] <white_eagle> fsanlu: whaddaya mean?
[11:12] <shade052_> lalala:no

[11:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wacom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:12] <predaeus> jgoo, just download into a directory that is not opened
[11:13] <kurt> hi
[11:13] <white_eagle> !hi | kurt
[11:13] <ubotu> kurt: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:13] <kurt> how can i use unrar please
[11:13] <fsanlu> white_eagle: just any places online that i can read up on so i get to learn how to use linux. i just installed yesterday.. all this stuff about kernels and whatnot and even the command line still confuzzles me hehe
[11:13] <jgoo> predaeus: yes, that is sensible, unfortunately it was the first time I used this BitTorrent (default) app (whicever it is) and I just hit save.... :-/
[11:13] <white_eagle> !rar
[11:13] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[11:13] <shade052_> piyush:the lpadmin is the printer admin
[11:13] <kurt> i installed unrar free
[11:13] <david_J> Q[e]D: I really don't know what ya mean when you said it was a kernel issue.. Ubuntu kernels are pretty complete.
[11:13] <david_J> oops
[11:13] <david_J> he left
[11:13] <kurt> i need to combine a few .rar files
[11:13] <white_eagle> fsanlu: the forums are a good place
[11:14] <fsanlu> nothing is broken right now.. so i wanna spend my time reading and learning
[11:14] <fsanlu> okay okay i havnet tapped into that thanks :D
[11:14]  * javaJake arrived to see if people are still combatting Ubuntu issues, even on Christmas
[11:14] <mircuser> hi all
[11:14] <predaeus> jgoo, well you can continue some other time and just move the file to the folder and when you double click/run the torrent file again you specify the files exact location (the file in the folder) and it will pick up where it stopped.
[11:14] <piyush> shade052:wow but i dont have any printer : )  ,still i should thank it for making me admin of atleast something
[11:14] <white_eagle> !hi | mircuser
[11:14] <ubotu> mircuser: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:14] <fsanlu> hey there!
[11:14] <wols_> Qubert: firestart ir no session but ran via gnome. hwy don't you just unisntall firewstarter?
[11:15] <mircuser> can someone dcc send me a file so i can see if it receives it?
[11:15] <jgoo> predaeus: the .torrent file wasn't save anywhere (just opened) :-/
[11:15] <shade052_> piyush: not havin admin is something try "sudo su root" dont wory you dont need a printer to have that user group
[11:15] <javaJake> wols_: sudo apt-get remove firestarter
[11:15] <lalala> after last update nautilus lost the lan icons, even if i can browse the shares manually smb://machine_name/share/
[11:15] <jgoo> predaeus: I am used to using uTorrent
[11:15] <predaeus> jgoo, hm then you would've to open it again from the web
[11:15] <javaJake> wols_: add --purge onto the end of that if you don't think you'll want it again.
[11:15] <white_eagle> jgoo: use Ktorrent or better Deluge
[11:15] <mircuser> anyone?
[11:16] <mircuser> it will take a few secs only
[11:16] <jgoo> predaeus: I did that, I remembered the links on piratebay and they resumed the session (which I liked!) so it is all ok - I'll remember ot save in a dedicate folder somewhere off desktop
[11:16] <piyush> shade052:it just asked for passwd ......nothing else
[11:16] <white_eagle> mircuser: accept
[11:16] <kurt> guys how to combine .rar files with unrar please cause i cannot find the unrar command anywhere
[11:16] <uchazco> Ok... for reference... use truecrypt to map the volume, but not mount it, then fsck [-f] <mapper> seems to work :)
[11:16] <javaJake> mircuser: if you are behind a router, you'll need to set your port settings I believe
[11:16] <mircuser> it never prompted me
[11:17] <white_eagle> schmucks
[11:17] <simplyubuntu> wols_ i figured out whats happened... wanna know/
[11:17] <javaJake> mircuser: yea, it's either firewall or router issues
[11:17] <Slart> kurt: I don't know if you can just combine them.. I think you'll have to unpack them and pack them up again
[11:17] <mircuser> i'll be back restart modem

[11:19] <Ayabara> I'm currently using rtorrent, but I'm looking for a nicer looking client :-). Which clients look good and give _good_ speed on Ubuntu? Transmission and Azureus something to consider?
[11:19] <white_eagle> kurt: try the forums
[11:19] <white_eagle> Ayabara: Ktorrent and Deluge
[11:19] <kerzinger> how to prepare a mdadm software raid 5 for reinstall?
[11:19] <shade052__> piyush:did that work?
[11:19] <piyush> shade052:no
[11:19] <piyush> shade052:it just asked for passwd
[11:19] <piyush> shade052:i m still on $ promt
[11:20] <Ayabara> white_eagle, ok. ktorrent didn't give me a lot of speed when I used it on feisty.
[11:20] <piyush> shade052:nor going sudo..
[11:20] <white_eagle> Ayabara: what about Deluge?
[11:20] <shade052__> piyush:do you have a root password
[11:20] <piyush> shade052:yah :)
[11:20] <kurt> ok
[11:21] <simplyubuntu> Tillinux ok, so when i ran fsck the first time, what it did for some kooky reason was to thing that my whole root partition was corrupt... what it did then was to put all the files in the root partition into the 'lost and found' folder. this is what isnt allowing my to boot up.... and in the lost found folder, all the files are in flders that have random numbers (i suspect inode numbers where the data exist(ed)). any idea how to restore the data???
[11:21] <mircuser666> try now
[11:21] <white_eagle> Ayabara: what about Deluge?
[11:21] <Ayabara> white_eagle, looking into it now :-)
[11:21] <white_eagle> K
[11:21] <Tilllinu1> hmpf, editing the xorg.conf didn't help either

[11:28] <fsanlu> lol
[11:28] <Fesek> bazhang, thanks ;)
[11:28] <bazhang> kurt: how are you using it?
[11:28] <fsanlu> thanks ima be in offtopic.. this is business here hehe
[11:29] <carl_> fsanlu, I have benn using linux for five years, and it never failed my system, I mean it broke down never

[11:30] <fsanlu> i forgot who it was.. now i wanna stab him or her
[11:30] <bazhang> kurt: just click the first file--it should join automatically
[11:30] <tarelerulz> Kurt , I feel yon the rar action . I use torrent leech all the time and they break everything up into 40 some odd rars. It is rather lame
[11:31] <graabein> I have multiple instances of the same usergroup. Is it okay to delete usergroups even though I can get loose usergroup ID's?
[11:31] <kurt> it trries to open with ark
[11:31] <kurt> so that fails
[11:31] <tarelerulz> Well, I had to get rar and unrar from rarlab
[11:32] <bazhang> kurt: then click on the joined file, or you are missing some parts or those are corrupted
[11:33] <tarelerulz> I don't know about joining them. I unrar movies that are broken up into  a bunch of rar all the time

[11:34] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[11:34] <tarelerulz> Kurt for the unrar stuff broken up to a bunch of rars I use unrar from rarlab .  I try use the rar you can get from Ubuntu via synaptic and it dont work on those

[11:39] <rz45335> simplyubuntu: for example find /etc/X11 -type f | wc -l
[11:39] <simplyubuntu> rz45335 but what about the number of a particular TYPE of file like .deb...

[11:40] <Riddick> does anyone know how to fix this bug under ubuntu?  when i log into my ubuntu machine to use irssi from my mac the delete / backspace key on wintendo works fine.  once i launch irssi it doesnt backspace delete misspellings anymore.  i have to use the arrow key to go back and then press delete for the word to be deleted.  this is really freaking annoying.
[11:41] <Riddick> i read on some of the ubuntu blogs/faqs this is a bug, but i want a fix / workaround.  it is driving me crazy not to be able to normal delete.

[11:42] <simplyubuntu> thanks rz45335... how about if i have /home/a/x.deb and /home/b/y.deb... how can i copy all the debs from /home to any location?
[11:43] <Riddick> someone help me resolve this delete/backspace issue that is caused after launching irssi
[11:44] <bazhang> Riddick: if it is a bug then it needs to be fixed; while you wait for an answer or workaround, you can try another client or search the forums for someone who has fixed it
[11:44] <ineo> Riddick: check your TERM enviroment
[11:44] <rz45335> simplyubuntu: if it doesn't exceed the maximum commandline length, you would type: cp $(find /home -type f -name "*.deb") /path/to/destination

[11:56] <fsanlu> hey HardDisk im wondering i have my swap at 1gb and i have 1gb ram.. ive been lagging from time to time is that why?
[11:56] <azureus2002> bazhang:what is this?
[11:56] <bazhang> finn: some would say yes
[11:57] <HardDisk> fsanlu, shouldn't be that bad really.
[11:57] <finn> any serious bugs with it?
[11:57] <bazhang> finn: dont know never used it
[11:57] <simplyubuntu> iNeo i need to know the actual file because i dont have the dpkg command available to me - my install's screwed up. does this mean that dpkg actually generates a new list every time?
[11:57] <fsanlu> HardDisk, i dont know like it hangs pretty bad when its installing and whatnot.. i dont know if those are flukes or not but it hasnt in awhile
[11:57] <azureus2002> i have 8 gb of ram
[11:57] <HardDisk> RoyK, 1. Choose something vague but easy to remember, like 'titanic'  2. Use symbols, like make your password titanic% . Nobody would ever guess that! Also, if you have a special character on your keyboard (i.e. the euro symbol) use that.  3. Also use numbers in your password. 4. Master passwords are very easy to remember, but if somebody finds out your password, they have access to everything!
[11:57] <HardDisk> fsanlu, are you using ext3?
[11:58] <fsanlu> yes i am
[11:58] <HardDisk> and running background processes?
[11:58] <finn> one other question for people: why can't ZFS be used with ubuntu? it sounds really great!
[11:58] <fsanlu> im not sure...
[11:58] <HardDisk> fsanlu, run top and check what's using up cpu/ram
[11:58] <bazhang> finn: not open source
[11:58] <finn> also, if I can't use ZFS then which other filesystem is best?
[11:58] <fsanlu> HardDisk how do i do that? i just installed linux yesterday hehe
[11:59] <bazhang> finn: best for what? ext3 is most widely used
[11:59] <HardDisk> fsanlu, in terminal type top
[11:59] <finn> bazhang: will it ever be licensed? or can another version be reverse engineered?
[11:59] <rgnr> !dd
[11:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:59] <rgnr> how do i  use dd command?
[11:59] <finn> bazhang: I hate needed to defrag my windows box.......
[11:59] <bazhang> finn: check out some of the linux sites for this info--this is offtpoc
[11:59] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk you sound like the person who could help me with this... http://pastebin.com/m24f91acd
[11:59] <HardDisk> rgnr type man dd or dd --help
[11:59] <RoyK> HardDisk: I'm aware of workarounds, but I want to _open_up_ and _allow_ simple passwords. I just don't remember where I can do this
[12:00] <finn> offtopic? which irc channel is this?
[12:00] <Berofa> HI
[12:00] <fsanlu> HardDisk okay im looking at it.
[12:00] <simplyubuntu> finn #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:00] <HardDisk> personally I never use less than 10 character passwords.
[12:00] <fsanlu> actually nothing really is using cpu and mem..
[12:00] <Berofa> How to install drivers under ubuntu ?
[12:00] <bazhang> finn: ubuntu support channel--zfs is not part of ubuntu, ergo offtopic
[12:00] <HardDisk> so I don't know where to use simple passwords :) i'll have to google for that one.
[12:00] <bazhang> Berofa: for video?
[12:01] <fsanlu> HardDisk, i guess it was just a bad one awhile ago. it seems pretty normal.. hehe false alarm then
[12:01] <david_J> HardDisk: a program called qpamat will generate passwds
[12:01] <Berofa> no graphics
[12:01] <Berofa> I got the CD but ubnutu doesn't list it up
[12:01] <bazhang> Berofa: what card?
[12:01] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, nice mess there :)
[12:01] <Berofa> ASUS en8600GT
[12:02] <Berofa> it's not supported by ubuntu
[12:02] <HardDisk> david_J, yes but like I said I don't use less than 10 character passwords
[12:02] <bazhang> !nvidia | Berofa
[12:02] <ubotu> Berofa: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:02] <HardDisk> not simple ones.
[12:02] <Berofa> thx
[12:02] <finn> ok,another question - can I install ubuntu from a flash drive instead of a CD?
[12:02] <HardDisk> and there are tonnes of auto generative passwords on the net.
[12:02] <bazhang> finn: pendrivelinux.com
[12:02] <finn> thanks
[12:02] <david_J> finn: Yeah you have to copy the cd contents on a fat32 formatted usb stick
[12:02] <HardDisk> Berofa, it is supported.
[12:03] <HardDisk> finn, yes.
[12:03] <finn> oh wait, I don't want to install ubuntu to a flash drive
[12:03] <david_J> finn: and install syslinux bootloader on it
[12:03] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk yep thanks for the praise :P. what to do?
[12:03] <finn> david thanks
[12:03] <finn> ok
[12:03] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, first of all, are you able to boot into either mint or ubuntu?
[12:03] <finn> where can I find syslinux bootloader?
[12:03] <Ximal> is there a way to figure out how much power your pc or laptop is using ?
[12:03] <david_J> finn: google it
[12:03] <finn> ok
[12:03] <bazhang> finn: do you have a prominent search engine available to you? :}
[12:04] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk just mint.
[12:04] <fsanlu> btw ive been having wifi problems, it just randomly disconnects either from 5 minutes or 30. im connected wired right now and i havnet had any problems since. ive tried to troubleshoot it but it doesnt seem like anything is broken. but what is weird is all the other laptops in the house dont d/c. so is it possible my wifi is getting faulty?
[12:04] <finn> sure but why not ask a knowledable irc channel
[12:04] <simplyubuntu> booting into ubuntu gives me that initramfs thing
[12:04] <HardDisk> finn, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/
[12:04] <david_J> finn: and if need be use a live distro with a compiler to compile it..  I think it is statically linked
[12:04] <AciD> hi
[12:04] <fsanlu> like the wifi card itself is broke?
[12:04] <finn> thank you harddisk
[12:04] <david_J> finn: but dont take my word for it
[12:04] <HardDisk> finn, follow that guide, because gutsy is different to feisty for usb installations.
[12:05] <HardDisk> finn, just follow the guide I posted, it's flawless and works.
[12:05] <finn> ok
[12:05] <david_J> finn: Follow HardDisk ....
[12:05] <david_J> finn: I pretend I know too much
[12:05] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk?
[12:05] <HardDisk> yes, follow me my children.
[12:05] <javaJake_> :P
[12:05] <AciD> I'm trying to follow the wacom bamboo fun tutorial, but it seems the git udev file pointed by the tutorial is on a not rensponding server :/ anybody got that file ?
[12:05] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, what about mint?
[12:05] <finn> :P
[12:05] <david_J> HardDisk: not to hell I hope
[12:05] <HardDisk> :)
[12:05] <simplyubuntu> mint works perfectly
[12:06] <HardDisk> and they are on two seperate harddrives correct?
[12:06] <simplyubuntu> yep correct HardDisk
[12:06] <Berofa> harddisk, no in my ubuntu it's not supported
[12:06] <HardDisk> Berofa, dude it does work, you have to set it up.
[12:07] <Berofa> and when I try to install it by restricted drivers it says: "nvidia-glx-new not installed"
[12:07] <Berofa> How ?
[12:07] <bazhang> Berofa: its just the nvidia rebranded iirc
[12:07] <Berofa> im new
[12:07] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, ok..
[12:07] <finn> thanks all
[12:07] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, and you booted from a livecd, and did the fsck, and getting a bunch of errors...
[12:08] <^A^kira> in #ubuntu-ru
[12:08] <simplyubuntu> the first time i booted it was a normal recovery mode type shell. i first did fsck from there
[12:08] <[1]electro> ntu
[12:08] <HardDisk> dude..
[12:08] <simplyubuntu> now im on a live cd and i cant open a shell in any of the partitions.
[12:08] <HardDisk> you fsck'd while mounted...
[12:08] <HardDisk> never fsck on a mounted drive.
[12:08] <simplyubuntu> that sounds SO wrong
[12:08] <simplyubuntu> :P
[12:09] <simplyubuntu> but anyway
[12:09] <simplyubuntu> i know i know
[12:09] <simplyubuntu> and now all the files from my root partition ar in the lost+found folder
[12:09] <HardDisk> yea well, you could have b0rked because of that.
[12:09] <wols_> simplyubuntu: how the heck did you fsck a live filesystem?
[12:09] <HardDisk> which apparently you did..
[12:09] <wols_> didn't fsck predict doom and gloom all over before you pressed "y"?
[12:10] <simplyubuntu> yes... it did but i didnt know what else to do
[12:10] <wols_> simplyubuntu: have fun reinstalling
[12:10] <bazhang> wow
[12:10] <steffan> Hi, i'm using ubuntu for a while now, and now i have my next problem
[12:10] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk but wait
[12:11] <simplyubuntu> i managed to copy all the debs from the root partition to my home partition
[12:11] <HardDisk> you don't have to reinstall per say
[12:11] <khelll> how to find the java jdk
[12:11] <HardDisk> well the debs aren't that important really.
[12:11] <simplyubuntu> now all i need is the selections list to reistall them on the new install
[12:12] <simplyubuntu> well HardDisk what do you propose?
[12:12] <HardDisk> thinking what's your best option..
[12:12] <steffan> my ubuntu isn't loading very well anymore.. I loads until i see my own background, and some things a loaded(wireless internet icon and the menu, but the menu isn't fully loaded)
[12:12] <simplyubuntu> take your time :)
[12:12] <HardDisk> is the ubuntu a test box?
[12:12] <HardDisk> I mean got anything important in it?
[12:13] <HardDisk> I don't really want to give you the easy answer..
[12:13] <HardDisk> but recovering from corrupted data files manually is a bi*ch
[12:13] <HardDisk> would it be too much trouble if you reinstalled?
[12:14] <simplyubuntu> uh HardDisk all my files are in my home partition so the root partition is free of data
[12:14] <simplyubuntu> the only trouble would be reinstalling all my programs... ive got a DAMN slow interent connection
[12:14] <HardDisk> well in that case, I'd backup your home dir then of your files, and reinstall as wols_ mentioned.  I know it's not what you want to do..
[12:14] <aaaa> hey everyone, is there someone who can help me test the download speed from a vps? I need someone with a rather fast connection...from another server would be perfect :)
[12:14] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, you could have done an aptoncd
[12:15] <simplyubuntu> aptoncd?
[12:15] <HardDisk> basically backs all your debs onto a cd/dvd
[12:15] <simplyubuntu> ah stupid of me
[12:15] <HardDisk> sudo apt-get install aptoncd
[12:15] <simplyubuntu> but i got the deps
[12:15] <simplyubuntu> debs.. but no selections list
[12:15] <simplyubuntu> all i need is that
[12:15] <HardDisk> well if you have the debs..it isn't a problem then.
[12:16] <simplyubuntu> yeah it is because if i just do dpkg -i *.deb then i'll install everything - old and new - bad and good... no?
[12:16] <HardDisk> that part is easy
[12:16] <HardDisk> if you want to do it
[12:16] <kurt> can someone help me with installing lxdoom or prboom
[12:17] <kurt> or know where to get help, cause prboom freezes after 5 seconds
[12:17] <HardDisk> dpkg --get-selections > file
[12:17] <kurt> can i use cnr with kubuntu too ?
[12:17] <bazhang> kurt: see the forums for gaming if you dont get an answer here
[12:17] <HardDisk> then dpkg --set-selections > file on the new installation
[12:18] <HardDisk> then sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade
[12:18] <HardDisk> that's all you need there buddy
[12:18] <bazhang> kurt: it is beta only--expect breakage
[12:18] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk i know
[12:18] <simplyubuntu> but for some reason, no matter where i try a shell from, i have no dpkg command
[12:19] <simplyubuntu> if i could do that, then i was set
[12:19] <kurt> so you think i better use dosemu with dos doom then ?
[12:19] <HardDisk> how don't you have a dpkg command?
[12:19] <simplyubuntu> and this was a PERFECT feisty install - all the stuff i wanted
[12:19] <bazhang> dosbox
[12:19] <simplyubuntu> dunno
[12:19] <jgoo> to speed up my torrents - do I need to open a port? my downloads are less than half of my uploads... uploading at 100kB/s
[12:19] <fsanlu> hey guys i have an external hd.. (got it from black friday yeah!) anyway, its in ntfs right now with all my files cause ive been using it with windows. my questions are: a) is it possible to convert to something linux can use w/o losing data and b) how do i get linux to read the external hd.. i plugged it in it didnt do anything haha
[12:19] <simplyubuntu> just dont
[12:19] <HardDisk> kurt, there is doom for linux
[12:19] <bazhang> jgoo: www.portforward.com
[12:19] <kurt> i know there is, like lxdoom but i don't manage to get full screen
[12:20] <procvbar> hey guys i got this new laptop and i know its intel 950 graphics
[12:20] <bazhang> !ntfs-3g | fsanlu
[12:20] <ubotu> fsanlu: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[12:20] <procvbar> but ubuntu setup 965
[12:20] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk?
[12:20] <HardDisk> kurt fiddle with the settings.
[12:20] <procvbar> how do i fix it
[12:20] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, yea?
[12:20] <aaaa> anybody with a fast connection that wants to help me test my download speed?
[12:20] <kurt> don't even know how to enter settings
[12:20] <simplyubuntu> anything on the dpkg?
[12:20] <fsanlu> bazhang, if you keep answering my questions i think i might start paying you :]
[12:21] <bazhang> haha
[12:21] <jgoo> thanks bazhang
[12:21] <HardDisk> kurt, other doom ports, http://www.doomworld.com/ports/linux_unix.shtml
[12:21] <fsanlu> ur like all-knowing and just everywhere hehe thanks, ima read up
[12:21] <procvbar> hey guys i got a new laptop and ubuntu installed my graphics as intel 965 but i know the laptop is intel 950 graphics, how do i fix this?
[12:21] <kurt> thanks
[12:21] <HardDisk> aaaa, dslreports.com
[12:22] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, not that I'm aware off, not really much of an ubuntu expert, more rpm suse :)
[12:22] <aaaa> HardDisk, thank you, but what I need is someone to download a file from my server
[12:22]  * Javid has doom on his phone <3
[12:22] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, that's all I know really.
[12:22] <simplyubuntu> ha but you've been a great help anyway
[12:22] <HardDisk> aaaa, why not upload to a public ftp?
[12:22] <simplyubuntu> put my mind at ease you did
[12:22] <HardDisk> sorry bout that mate.
[12:22] <khelll> i have instlled the java jdk, but where shall i find it?
[12:23]  * jgoo has doom on his ipod
[12:23] <simplyubuntu> haha HardDisk i was serious
[12:23] <jgoo> nano
[12:23] <simplyubuntu> jgoo the nano just drives it home, doesnt it?
[12:23] <aaaa> what do you mean? I want to see how fast is that server
[12:23] <HardDisk> thank you jgoo, will make note the next time we have a doom on portable devices debate.
[12:23] <Steffan> Can i change with kde some settings in gnome?
[12:23] <HardDisk> aaaa, yea you can do that by uploading a test file to a public ftp
[12:24] <Steffan> i want to change some appearance settings..'
[12:24] <Steffan> but i cannot load gnome
[12:24] <simplyubuntu> whats the fastest internet transfer speed ever achieved?
[12:24] <bazhang> Steffan: no
[12:24] <HardDisk> a few gigaflops
[12:24] <simplyubuntu> you mean gigabytes per second?
[12:24] <Steffan> gnome hangs at startup...
[12:25] <HardDisk> no
[12:25] <HardDisk> gigaflops
[12:25] <lukewarm_> floating point operations per second
[12:25] <HardDisk> faster than gigabytes
[12:25] <simplyubuntu> how?!?! and why cant we have that???
[12:25] <HardDisk> :)
[12:25] <jgoo> bazhang: I already port forwarded for uTorrent - however, my problem is I cannot work out what application is providing BiTtorrent support on ubuntu - it just says 'BitTorrent (default)' and has no UI except for the actual downloads.... :-/ also, do I need to open a port in the software firewall? (which I assume is running)
[12:25] <HardDisk> because you can't afford it.
[12:25] <HardDisk> shhh lukewarm_
[12:25] <allbert> !kde4 fiesty
[12:25] <fsanlu> mr bazhang, how do i get to read the external hd? thanks for the read/write of the ntfs.. so i plugged in my hd and it still cant read it
[12:25] <lukewarm_> oops
[12:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kde4 fiesty - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:26] <procvbar> hey guys i got a new laptop and ubuntu installed my graphics as intel 965 but i know the laptop is intel 950 graphics, how do i fix this?
[12:26] <wols_> procvbar: same driver. irrelevant
[12:26] <bazhang> fsanlu: did you install ntfs-3g?
[12:26] <procvbar> ic
[12:26] <fsanlu> bazhang yes i did
[12:26] <procvbar> but why does my screen lag
[12:26] <procvbar> like there is no driver
[12:26] <simplyubuntu> http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/24/new-record-set-for-fastest-data-transmission-2-56-terabits-a/
[12:26] <procvbar> web pages scroll non smooth
[12:26] <wols_> procvbar: what driver do you actaully use?
[12:27] <procvbar> it says
[12:27] <wols_> procvbar: could it be VESA?
[12:27] <HardDisk> do you have compiz enabled?
[12:27] <bazhang> jgoo: open the port necessary then firestarter is a gui for iptables iirc
[12:27] <procvbar> Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller
[12:27] <wols_> grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:27] <fsanlu> bazhang, is it possible i dont have usb support thats why its plugged in and not reading or mounting at all?
[12:27] <jgoo> simplyubuntu: I got 3 Tb / sec on my ipod nano. Oh wait, no.
[12:27] <bazhang> fsanlu: you need to mount the hdd I believe
[12:27] <fsanlu> bazhang how may i go about doing that
[12:27] <bazhang> !ot | jgoo
[12:27] <ubotu> jgoo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:27] <simplyubuntu> haha jgoo i got that on my digital watch.. take THAT!
[12:27] <jgoo> bazhang: ok I will look thanks, I guess 'service status iptables'

[12:28] <bazhang> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy fsanlu
[12:28] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk read the comments on the url i sent... do people actually get 100mbps at home?
[12:29] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, according to a few swedes I know, yes.
[12:29] <lukewarm_> The FreeBSD installation process can install FreeBSD from files located in any of the following places:
[12:29] <jgoo> erp, how do I poll if a service is running? I tried service... I guess CentOs != ubuntu ;-)
[12:29] <simplyubuntu> sedes?
[12:29] <simplyubuntu> swedes*
[12:29] <procvbar> http://pastebin.com/m6a38bf98
[12:30] <procvbar> thats my driver
[12:30] <HardDisk> but simplyubuntu my link is consumer based.
[12:30] <HardDisk> what you posted is just in test labs.
[12:30] <HardDisk> 40 gigabits-per-second a DVD in 2 seconds :)
[12:31] <simplyubuntu> true true... so how much would 40gbps run you then?
[12:31] <HardDisk> how should I know, I barely afford 1mbps :D
[12:31] <pac1> HardDisk, Yeah and her monthly internet bill is probably about 30 Skr
[12:31] <jgoo> installing debian-helper-scripts to get 'service' command
[12:31] <pac1> The swedes have always been one step ahead of the phone company.,
[12:31] <HardDisk> pac1, technically yea, since it would be government paid.
[12:32] <simplyubuntu> hehe HardDisk
[12:32] <sirbijan> hello all
[12:32] <m-e-t> hi. anyone here who managed to install ubuntu on an ibook G4? i need some help...
[12:32] <pac1> A few years ago there was a small residential enclave that brought in one of those small trench diggers and put in fiber.  100mbs back before verizon was even thinking about it.
[12:33] <HardDisk> from what I know, swedish broadband, approx 70-80% is paid by the govt, and the consumer pays 20-30%
[12:33] <thesamet> When I share folders in Feisty and make them public, windows still asks for a password for viewing them
[12:33] <thesamet> any hints?
[12:33] <HardDisk> so when a swede tells you 100mbps costs them peanuts, that's why.
[12:33] <[1]electro> hii all merry xmas  :)
[12:33] <cyzie> is x11vnc broken in gutsy?
[12:33] <cyzie> i cant download it
[12:33] <simplyubuntu> hehe
[12:33] <HardDisk> download it? cyzie it should be included
[12:33] <wols_> !ask | m-e-t
[12:33] <ubotu> m-e-t: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:33] <cyzie> HardDisk, cant install using apt-get
[12:33] <simplyubuntu> but what HIGH-TECH equipment do you need to transfer data a 2.whatever tb per sec?
[12:33] <pac1> That's what a 40% tax rate will get you.
[12:33] <HardDisk> oh my bad it isn't included
[12:34] <sirbijan> i have gusty installed, my nvidia driver is installed for compiz as well. The thing is that I can' see my desired resolution (1280*1024) to choose. I also opened up xorg.conf, didn't find anywhere for defining resolutions
[12:34] <HardDisk> cyzie, tried aptitude?
[12:34] <sirbijan> sorry to interrupt ppl!
[12:34] <cyzie> HardDisk, what does that make any difference?
[12:34] <[1]electro> i need some help ... i am behind a firewall and i need proxy authentication to connect to the net.....then i can i be anonymous?? whatever tools i use asks me to change my proxy but if i do so then i won't be aauthenticated to connect to the net
[12:34] <m-e-t> i need a driver for a broadcom 4318 wireless card (which is an AirPort). does ubuntu support them out of the box?
[12:34] <HardDisk> cyzie, just tried, sudo apt-get install x11vnc does work
[12:35] <HardDisk> do you have your repositories enabled?
[12:35] <wols_> !tell sirbijan about fixres
[12:35] <cyzie> HardDisk, doesnt work here.

[12:35] <wols_> m-e-t: and it can't support it out of the box: non-free firmware
[12:35] <HardDisk> enable all five in your sources list, then sudo apt-get update

[12:37] <HardDisk> I should rename myself to google.
[12:38] <lukewarm_> HardDisk, except then you'd be able to afford 1mbps
[12:38] <HardDisk> lol
[12:38] <HardDisk> touche :)
[12:38] <HardDisk> at least some people are paying attention..
[12:38] <tiburon> lklk
[12:39] <HardDisk> it's those that do pay attention to detail that are the interesting ones.
[12:39] <HardDisk> don't you agree?
[12:40] <fsanlu> bazhang, i read up on that and it didnt tell me how to. only  mounting it had was mounting on  a server
[12:40]  * lukewarm_ snaps out of it. Huh what were you saying?
[12:40] <pac1> printer troubles: hpijs cups and foomatic are installed, but I can't start foomatic - asks for password then does not come up in window.  New ubuntu install, upgraded to latest.... Any Ideas on what to try?
[12:40] <neumind> HardDisk,  witch gnomebaker need push button format dvd ?
[12:41] <HardDisk> neumind, why not try em yourself, I don't do handholding sorry.
[12:41] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk is it possible to get a list of my packages from the mint install?
[12:41] <neumind> HardDisk,  gnomebaker not formating..
[12:42] <wols_> neumind: you don't format optical media
[12:42] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk?
[12:43] <Bonzodog> simplyubuntu: doesn't mint use Synaptic?
[12:44] <Bonzodog> Synaptic can give you a list of all installed packages
[12:44] <thesamet> When I share folders in Gutsy and make them public, windows still asks for a password for viewing them
[12:44] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, same commands.
[12:44] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, since mint is ubuntu modded.
[12:44] <simplyubuntu> Bonzodog its a long story.. my mint install screwed up my ubuntu install and i want to get a list of the packages installed in ubuntu from ming
[12:44] <simplyubuntu> moint
[12:44] <Andeh> Hi. How do I get Croatian spellchecking in OpenOffice?
[12:45] <HardDisk> Bonzodog, no not that method we're doing dpkg
[12:45] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk, a list of my UBUNTU packages from mint.... kooky i know
[12:45] <GHOST> hey there
[12:45] <HardDisk> you do the same for mint..
[12:46] <HardDisk> Andeh, http://support.openoffice.org/index.html
[12:46] <Bonzodog> HardDisk: no, I get whats he's saying...he's in Mint, but need to see his ubuntu install package list
[12:46] <HardDisk> yea
[12:46] <GHOST> Andeh i think u have to download the croatian package language with synaptic
[12:46] <Bonzodog> thats not possible if not booted into ubuntu
[12:47] <HardDisk> ah my bad
[12:47] <HardDisk> misunderstanding there
[12:47] <Bonzodog> unless you looks at /var/packages (??)
[12:47] <Bonzodog> there is a package cache in ubuntu
[12:47] <cyzie> HardDisk, why used aptitude for?
[12:48] <cyzie> HardDisk, isnt apt-get is easier?
[12:48] <HardDisk> just another alternative to apt-get
[12:48] <HardDisk> I use apt-get, some like aptitude
[12:48] <Bonzodog> if he can see the ubuntu directories, he could browse to the cache and just look using a file manager or ls
[12:48] <cyzie> HardDisk, but that doenst solve the issue.
[12:48] <HardDisk> but did you enable the repo's as I told you?
[12:48] <cyzie> what repo?
[12:48] <HardDisk> and what is the error?
[12:48] <HardDisk> see you don't read
[12:48] <simplyubuntu> Bonzodog i can browse to the cache
[12:48] <simplyubuntu> ive even copied the debs
[12:49] <cyzie> HardDisk, u mean the main, multiuniverse repo ?
[12:49] <HardDisk> enable all five in your sources list, then sudo apt-get update
[12:49] <cyzie> HardDisk, yes, all enabled.
[12:49] <simplyubuntu> all i need is the install list to tell me new install what and what not to install
[12:49] <simplyubuntu> know what i mean?
[12:49] <HardDisk> so what's the error?
[12:49] <simplyubuntu> Bonzodog?
[12:49] <ares623> hello.
[12:49] <GHOST> hi
[12:49] <Bonzodog> simplyubuntu: unless booted into ubuntu, thats not possible
[12:50] <Andeh> Question: I run Xubuntu and just installed OpenOffice. It's using a hideous Windows 9X like theme, and enormous fonts. How do I change that?
[12:50] <ares623> i am trying to install Windows XP using QEmu
[12:50] <geoaxis> can any one recomend an easy to use website downloader
[12:50] <ares623> i am following this tutorial..
[12:50] <simplyubuntu> ok HardDisk can we get the ubuntu working for ONE time only?
[12:50] <ares623> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[12:50] <HardDisk> geoaxis, use firefox's plugin downthemall
[12:50] <likewise> My updater run of 7.10/x86 yesterday (which included a new kernel) breaks my desktop; the menu bar is gone and the window manager is broken. I had Compiz disabled. Sound familiar to anyone?
[12:50] <GHOST> Andeh you can also use abiword for xubuntu like me ;)
[12:50] <cyzie> HardDisk, pasted in private
[12:50] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, possible, but personally I don't know what the extent of the damage is
[12:51] <HardDisk> cyzie, why'd you paste in private, that's what pastebin is for.
[12:51] <simplyubuntu> what do you need to know?
[12:51] <ares623> I am trying to install Windows XP virtually using QEmu. I am following this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[12:51] <ares623> I need some guidance :)
[12:51] <cyzie> HardDisk, link ?
[12:51] <HardDisk> I work poorly remotely..
[12:51] <HardDisk> cyzie, topic ^^
[12:51] <GHOST> lol
[12:51] <Andeh> GHOST: Heh. Okay then, my friend is a journalist in Croatia and needs any word processor that has croatian spellcheck support. I already installed the spellcheck support packages, will Abiword know how to use them? Cause his laptop is rather low end, I dont want to run OO unless I have to.
[12:51] <HardDisk> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:51] <Bonzodog> ares623: you don't understand the tutorial?
[12:51] <simplyubuntu> ah should i fsck it and dpkg -i *.deb on the new install?
[12:52] <Lunks> Can I see PDFs from Firefox without installing Adobe PDF Reader?
[12:52] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, well..it's not what I would do to be quite honest, you could and any dependancies will be asked for.
[12:52] <cyzie> HardDisk, but do you have solution for that or u just like to paste it in pastebin ?
[12:52] <HardDisk> cyzie, it's the rules.
[12:52] <simplyubuntu> ok so what do you recommend?
[12:52] <ares623> at step 10, when creating the virtual drive, i get a formatting error
[12:52] <cyzie> HardDisk, alright. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49528/
[12:52] <simplyubuntu> the final verdict...
[12:52] <cyzie> HardDisk, then have a look there..
[12:53] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, install ubuntu, then before you install the debs, I'd cross reference for updated ones.
[12:53] <HardDisk> gutsy updated ones obviously.
[12:53] <Bonzodog> ares623: you might be best asking this one on the forums
[12:53] <simplyubuntu> sounds complicated... how would i do that?
[12:53] <GHOST> Andeh Its okay  abiword can easily translate most of european language like openoffice
[12:53] <HardDisk> cyzie, I'm not being ass, it's the rules, so anyone can see it and help you, I'm not god
[12:53] <ares623> oh ok. thanks Bonzodog
[12:53] <GHOST> Andeh Its okay  abiword can easily translate most of european language like openoffice
[12:53] <GHOST> Andeh Its okay  abiword can easily translate most of european language like openoffice
[12:53] <cyzie> HardDisk, very well, but it is pasted in the pastebin.
[12:53] <GHOST> uopz sry :s
[12:54] <Andeh> lol
[12:54] <GHOST> lol
[12:54] <fsanlu> for some reason i can see my external hd in "computer" but it keeps telling me "cannot mount" :(
[12:54] <GHOST> i didnt sleep yesterday!
[12:54] <cyzie> fsanlu, why not ?
[12:54] <HardDisk> cyzie, what version of ubuntu do you have?
[12:54] <cyzie> HardDisk, gutsy
[12:54] <HardDisk> you positive?
[12:54] <fsanlu> czyie i do not know. it jus says "cannot mount" wen i try to mount it
[12:54] <HardDisk> cyzie, was this an upgrade?
[12:54] <Lilacor> fsanlu: what kind of error does it give you? just cannot mount?
[12:54] <cyzie> fsanlu, mount it as root. u have the go there
[12:54] <Andeh> GHOST: Question: The laptop in question is retarded. The cd drive is so old, it makes errors reading perfectly clean disks and I failed installing Windows, Linux or anything else. Help?
[12:54] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk! anticipation!!!!
[12:54] <cyzie> HardDisk, yes.
[12:55] <fsanlu> Lilacor, yes it just says cannot mount
[12:55] <fsanlu> "Cannot mount volume" Unable to mount frank media
[12:55] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu,  I picked the easiest solution for you.
[12:55] <simplyubuntu> yep yep but how to cross ref?
[12:55] <fsanlu> cyzie how do i go about doing that?
[12:55] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, basically by going to the repositories themselves.
[12:56] <HardDisk> cyzie, you got broken packages
[12:56] <HardDisk> cyzie, sudo apt-get install -f
[12:56] <HardDisk> and tell me what you get
[12:56] <simplyubuntu> aargh sounds like it would take ages... there are 161 packages
[12:56] <Andeh> GHOST: Also, how do I get Abiword to spellcheck croatian? The spellcheck option is grayed out even for english!
[12:56] <GHOST> Andeh hum i think you can use a usb key to install or try with downloading
[12:57] <Andeh> GHOST: Lol...
[12:57] <Lilacor> fsanlu: use gksudo nautilus and then try to mount it
[12:57] <GHOST> Andeh wait i searchin 4 u in synaptic
[12:57] <sirbijan> I installed Emerald Theme Manager, I can run it and I also imported a theme from gnome-look.org, but it doesn't change nothing! It doesn't have any apply button or anything
[12:57] <Andeh> Thanks :P
[12:57] <sirbijan> how can I change my theme?!
[12:57] <GHOST> Andeh lol
[12:57] <fsanlu> hold on
[12:58] <Andeh> GHOST: I am scanning the Xubuntu CD for defects
[12:58] <GHOST> Andeh ok
[12:58] <Andeh> To make sure it's not my retarded laptops fault
[12:58] <Andeh> ;p
[12:58] <HardDisk> Andeh, sudo apt-get install openoffice.org2-l10n-  and find out your country language
[12:58] <GHOST> Andeh yep
[12:58] <HardDisk> e.g. openoffice.org2-l10n-de for german
[12:59] <Andeh> GHOST: openoffice.org-l10n-hr is already the newest version.
[12:59] <HardDisk> -fr for french
[12:59] <Andeh> Now how I get Abiword to use it?
[12:59] <goticaa> Hey, i can't seam to get my ubuntu 7.10 to update itselv
[12:59] <goticaa> self*
[12:59] <GHOST> Andeh sry but i dontuse open office :s
[12:59] <goticaa> i just installed it from a original cd
[12:59] <HardDisk> did you do openoffice.org2-thesaurus- ?
[13:00] <Andeh> GHOST: Neither do I. I use Abiword. But how do i get Abiword to spellcheck croatian?
[13:00] <HardDisk> and openoffice.org-l10n-hr
[13:00] <HardDisk> you have to have those too
[13:00] <GHOST> Andehwait im searchin...

[13:00] <cyzie> HardDisk, try the -f before, wont work.
[13:00] <sulle> I have sound in xmms but not when i play of a movie. Yes the movie does work... what can i do ?
[13:00] <HardDisk> and openoffice.org-spellcheck-
[13:00] <Andeh> Package openoffice.org2-thesaurus-hr is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
[13:01] <HardDisk> cyzie, what is the error when you did that? cause it seems you have other issues
[13:01] <Andeh> E: Package openoffice.org2-thesaurus-hr has no installation candidate
[13:01] <GHOST> Andeh i think theres no languages support for abiword
[13:01] <sulle> message Could not open/initalize audio device -> no sound....
[13:01] <cyzie> HardDisk, the error pasted in pastebin.
[13:01] <sulle> but i got sound in xmms.
[13:01] <ares623> VMWare Server is free right? what does the "Server" suffix mean?
[13:01] <cyzie> HardDisk, what other issue are you talking ?
[13:01] <Andeh> GHOST: So I am stuck with OO. Now how do I get OO to use croatian spellcheck?
[13:01] <ares623> will I be able to run Windows without Server stuff?
[13:02] <GHOST> Andeh im searchin for u
[13:02] <Andeh> ;p
[13:02] <GHOST> Andeh lol
[13:02] <sulle> message Could not open/initalize audio device -> no sound... but i got sound in xmms etc. what is the solution for this?.
[13:02] <HardDisk> cyzie, sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status
[13:02] <GHOST> Andeh normally u should be able to find it...
[13:02] <Andeh> D:<<<<
[13:03] <Andeh> STUPID LAPTOP!
[13:03] <HardDisk> cyzie, then run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[13:03] <GHOST> Andeh lol!
[13:03] <Andeh> It gets 95% through installing Xubuntu. "Disk read error. Aborting setup"
[13:03] <HardDisk> !sound | sulle
[13:03] <ubotu> sulle: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[13:04] <cyzie> yes, HardDisk did that as well, HardDisk why do the cp for?
[13:04] <Lilacor> fsanlu: what worked?
[13:04] <cyzie> did before, dpkg --cofigure -a and then run the apt-get install -f x11vnc, wont work either.
[13:04] <GHOST> Andeh i cant find it :(

[13:05] <Steffan> vishal, thank you too!
[13:05] <_Pengo> whats the root password set to ?
[13:06] <Andeh> GHOST: Dude, I installed Croatian spellcheck packages. BUT HOW DO I GET OO TO USE THEM?!
[13:06] <GHOST> Andeh i think there crotian language but im searnin one the net!
[13:06] <vishal> does anyone know if its possible to show transfer speed on the file copy dialogue?
[13:06] <Steffan> _Pengo, use your onw pass
[13:06] <Steffan> it should work
[13:06] <_Pengo> i tried that
[13:06] <GHOST> Andeh lol
[13:06] <Andeh> GHOST: I don't need the packs, I need someone who knows how to enable them!
[13:06] <GHOST> Andeh i dont now ;)
[13:06] <Andeh> D:<<
[13:06] <Steffan> just use sudo -i
[13:06] <larson9999> _Pengo ubuntu uses sudo normally.  not su.  i thought it sucked at first but now i think it's better.
[13:07] <_Pengo> i tried the password for my ubuntu account that it setup
[13:07] <GHOST> Andeh anyone help!
[13:07] <_Pengo> btw whats up with flashplayer, it don't work from synaptic
[13:07] <vishal> _Pengo: have you tried a blank password?
[13:07] <_Pengo> md5 mismatch
[13:07] <_Pengo> yah i tried enter
[13:07] <_Pengo> no good either
[13:07] <HardDisk> cyzie, I assume your dpkg status is corrupted from your message, hence the command I told you to do afterwards
[13:07] <HardDisk> cyzie, then run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[13:08] <GHOST> Andeh take a look http://manual.sidux.com/meta-manual/en/mp-l-language-en.htm
[13:08] <vishal> _Pengo: as far a I know the root password is the same as your user password
[13:08] <fsanlu> Lilacor it was just unmounter improperly when i had windows... -__-
[13:08] <_Pengo> i'm just trying to get the flashplayer installed so i can view flash content in firefox, synaptic fails to install it so i've downloaded the rpm from the website and now need to install that but need su rights
[13:08] <soroush> i once tried to  install java-doc-5 and java-doc-6 from synaptic y last installation was like this in synaptictand it failed But I still see those errors since that installation during each installation. What the problem can be. for example m
[13:08] <cyzie> HardDisk, alright./
[13:08] <fsanlu> Lilacor i guess i learned my lesson the hard way, but thanks for the input.
[13:08] <vishal> _Pengo: can't you use sudo?
[13:08] <larson9999> _Pengo read the topic
[13:08] <Andeh> Ah, another question: Firefox told me I need additional plugins to view flash content, so I told it to install them. It did. Then it said i still need additional plugins, and when it tries to install I get a message telling me I already have them. Help?
[13:09] <Lilacor> fsanlu: it's handy to have a win32 VM around just for that purpose
[13:09] <soroush> my last installation was like this in synaptic
[13:09] <cyzie> HardDisk, same error.
[13:09] <Steffan> how do i run nautilus at startup, i think it isn't running
[13:09] <vishal> Andeh: Which plugin did you install?
[13:09] <Andeh> GHOST: I told you, I already installed them.
[13:09] <ares623> quick question: Can I play 3D games on VMWare?
[13:09] <Andeh> When you choose to install the croatian spellcheck, it installs ALL OF THEM.
[13:09] <_Pengo> oh right thanks
[13:09] <fsanlu> Lilacor yes i see the importance in that. im glad im at hoem where the rest of my family has windows lol
[13:09] <Lilacor> ares623: yes but on a very limited and experimental basis
[13:09] <Steffan> hmm, it does run
[13:09] <larson9999> Andeh, read the topic
[13:09] <Andeh> ares623: Yeah, really slowly
[13:09] <soroush>  i once tried to  install java-doc-5 and java-doc-6 from synaptic and it failed But I still see those errors since that installation during each installation. What the problem can be. for example
[13:10] <HardDisk> ares623, no.
[13:10] <vishal> ares623: you can but it probably will be very slow so now worth it, try dual booting
[13:10] <ares623> ah ok. but the game isn't really that graphics heavy
[13:10] <ares623> i think
[13:10] <Lilacor> ares623: what game?
[13:10] <_Pengo> i guess i called use sudo
[13:10] <ares623> some MMORPG. my brother plays it a lot
[13:10] <HardDisk> can't do directx
[13:10] <Andeh> larson9999: Tell it to #Openoffice.org
[13:10] <soroush>   i once tried to  install java-doc-5 and java-doc-6 from synaptic and it failed But I still see those errors since that installation during each installation. What the problem can be. for example my last installation was like this in synaptic
[13:10] <ares623> but i'm not switching to Windows for it
[13:10] <_Pengo> but then, i should still be allowed to go su on my own system right?
[13:10] <HardDisk> ares623, you're better off doing it in wine first.
[13:10] <soroush> :
[13:10] <ares623> :P
[13:10] <GHOST> Andeh sry i dont now :(
[13:10] <vishal> ares623: try wine?
[13:10] <Andeh> larson9999: They seem to be in deep sleep.
[13:10] <ares623> tried wine.. doesn't run
[13:11] <HardDisk> cedega?
[13:11] <Lilacor> ares623: you might be able to use cedega
[13:11] <soroush> http://www.nopaste.com/p/ajiiNhx7A
[13:11] <Andeh> Meh. It shouldn't be this hard.
[13:11] <GHOST> cant find nothin
[13:11] <ares623> what is that?
[13:11] <Lilacor> ares623: try using vmware with experimental 3d
[13:11] <GHOST> Andeh yea
[13:11] <HardDisk> commercial version of wine
[13:11] <Lilacor> ares623: cedega is commercialized wine
[13:11] <HardDisk> !cedega
[13:11] <chazco> Hi... any one know why creating a .tar.gz of a 20MB directory tree leads to a 300MB+ file...?
[13:11] <ares623> so not free?
[13:11] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[13:11] <larson9999> Andeh, are you talking about the flash issue?
[13:11] <Andeh> So can someone at least tell me how I can configure GNOME programs to NOT USE ENORMOUS FONT SIZES? I am running Xubuntu.
[13:11] <soroush> it always waits me to abort java-doc-5 and 6 installation
[13:11] <ares623> i'm looking for something free. VMWare Server/Player is free I heard.
[13:11] <GHOST> Andeh mayby there a channel for openoffice user
[13:11] <HardDisk> ares623, and virtualbox.
[13:11] <Andeh> GHOST: Yeah there is. Everybody in it is dead though.
[13:12] <GHOST> lol
[13:12] <Lilacor> ares623: yes..so long as you have the VM already it's easy!
[13:12] <ares623> virtualbox doesn't even try using the videocard
[13:12] <ares623> so no luck there.
[13:12] <vishal> Andeh: go to youtube, when viewing a video it will want you to install a plugin, install the adobe flah plugin and it should work
[13:12] <GHOST> Andeh try "OpenOffice.org For Dummies"
[13:12] <HardDisk> don't see the point of playing games in vmware, since they are workstation applications.
[13:12] <Lilacor> ares623: I'd recommend a dual boot for that.
[13:12] <larson9999> i say, "if you can't get your game on in linux, you have priority issues."
[13:12] <HardDisk> if you want games, play it natively.
[13:12] <Andeh> vishal: I already HAVE flash installed, each time firefox prompts me to install it, I get an error telling me I have it already.
[13:13] <vishal> Andeh: Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling?
[13:13] <Andeh> But no flash content works, I get a big white box ADDITIONAL PLUGINS NEEDED.
[13:13] <HardDisk> as lilacor said, dualboot.
[13:13] <Andeh> vishal: No. What package do i need to reinstall?
[13:13] <GHOST> Andeh i got the same prob
[13:13] <HardDisk> or use a native alternative.
[13:13] <HardDisk> hundreds of mmporg's out there
[13:13] <Lilacor> each one just as endless as the last
[13:13] <vishal> Andeh: When I tried to use flash, i install the adobe flash plugin and it works without any problems
[13:14] <HardDisk> agreed Lilacor
[13:14] <Andeh> GHOST: Heh. Support in this channel is getting worse and worse.
[13:14] <larson9999> and... if you want more linux games, play and buy only linux games.  kinda simple
[13:14] <ares623> Dual Boot seems to be the best option huh.. maybe I'll just limit it to 5GB
[13:14] <ares623> why didn't i think of that
[13:14] <ares623> same thing essentialy
[13:14] <ares623> thanks guys.. dualboot seems good
[13:14] <ares623> :)
[13:14] <HardDisk> Andeh, this is voluntary, if you don't like it leave.
[13:14] <Lilacor> ares623: I'd stick with 10GB
[13:14] <GHOST> Andeh this because of xmas :)
[13:14] <Lilacor> ares623: you'll get screwed on space if you go for 5
[13:14] <HardDisk> Andeh, no one is being paid to help.
[13:14] <larson9999> Andeh, are you trying to use flash in firefox?
[13:14] <GHOST> wait im serching!
[13:14] <vishal> ares623: you;d need at least 10gb
[13:14] <HardDisk> so appreciate it, say thank you, and merry effing xmas
[13:15] <ares623> I have tremulous installed. not great. lol.. Nexuiz is what i'm gonna try next
[13:15] <ares623> hate MMO's
[13:15] <soroush> I don't want to install sun-java6-doc  sun-java5-doc
[13:15] <ares623> ok. 10GB sounds good
[13:15] <soroush> anymore
[13:15] <soroush> how should i get rid of
[13:15] <HardDisk> ares623, gridwars, alien arena, urban terror, enemy territory, warsow, tonnes more :)
[13:15] <ares623> just don't want to give too much space
[13:15] <Andeh> larson9999: Yes, and trying to find someone who knows how to enable spellchecking in OO.
[13:15] <likewise> How can I repair my desktop? I can only get into the terminal session correctly...
[13:15] <soroush> such these permenant messages
[13:15] <ares623> tried enemy territory, too hard to join a game
[13:16] <soroush> http://www.nopaste.com/p/ajiiNhx7A
[13:16] <ares623> hehe
[13:16] <soroush> ?
[13:16] <Andeh> HardDisk: Good thing, that.
[13:16] <HardDisk> likewise, dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:16] <w4ett> soroush:  uninstal via apt-get
[13:16] <ares623> yeah gridwars.. i played that. f'ing awesome
[13:16] <vishal> Enemy territory rocks
[13:16] <GHOST> YEA!
[13:16] <Lilacor> Andeh: have you tried #openoffice?
[13:16] <likewise> HardDisk: thanks, will try that.
[13:16] <vishal> Its an awesome game
[13:16] <HardDisk> sudo first.
[13:16] <Andeh> lilacor: Yes. And #Openoffice.org
[13:16] <Andeh> They're all dead.
[13:16] <larson9999> Andeh, as i said, the topic addresses flash.  don't know about spell checker.  has always been enable for me.
[13:16] <GHOST> nobody answer :(
[13:17] <Andeh> larson9999: In croatian?
[13:17] <ares623> i keep getting disconnected while joining games
[13:17] <ares623> keeps downloading stuff and never finishes
[13:17] <ares623> :)
[13:17] <Andeh> Sure.
[13:17] <GHOST> lol
[13:17] <Lilacor> Andeh: what's the problem with flash? I visit a site with flash, it asks me to install the plugin..It installs automatically
[13:17] <w4ett> soroush:  sudo apt-get remove <package>
[13:17] <vishal> ares623 yeah lots of people put junk on their servers, come at play at my server
[13:17] <vishal> ares623: visit www.bcclan.com and the ip address is at the top
[13:17] <Lilacor> Andeh: it shouild be pointed out that not all functions within flash work 100% with the linux version of flash unfortunately
[13:17] <Andeh> Lilacor: Same thing, Except then it says I dont have flash installed, asks me to install it again. When I do that, It gives me an error, It says I already HAVE flash.
[13:17] <soroush> w4ett, thanks . ii'll test it now
[13:17] <ares623> vishal thanks.. I think i might have low ping though
[13:17] <ares623> is that ok?
[13:18] <w4ett> soro np
[13:18] <GHOST> Andeh mayby try an other web browser like epiphany or konqueror
[13:18] <Andeh> Lilacor: I alro tried GNASH, and that worked. Although youtube videos are totally screwed up.
[13:18] <_Pengo> ok my password works if i install stuff and it needs admin privledges i guess its doing sudo
[13:18] <Lilacor> Andeh: what browser?
[13:18] <larson9999> Andeh, i think i'm getting a hint on why support for you is so poor in here.
[13:18] <_Pengo> but if i try to su it doesn't accept the same password
[13:18] <Andeh> Lilacor: Firefox.
[13:18] <Lilacor> Andeh: just firefox?
[13:18] <vishal> ares623: the lower the ping the better, the server is somewhere in america, i think chicago or something
[13:18] <Lilacor> Andeh: 3b2? or just <IP_ADDRESS>?
[13:18] <Andeh> Yes. Just firefox.
[13:18] <ares623> i mean i think i have HIGH ping
[13:18] <GHOST> Andeh i have the same prob with firefox
[13:18] <ares623> hehe
[13:18] <Andeh> <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:18] <vishal> ares623: i ping approx 130 on there
[13:18] <Andeh> larson9999: Um. Why is support for me so poor in here?
[13:19] <vishal> ares623: as long as your not over 300 you should be fine
[13:19] <GHOST> hey its holidays!
[13:19] <ares623> ok.. so how do I connect to a specific IP address in et?
[13:19] <Andeh> Lol. The GNASH player is horrible :D
[13:19] <vishal> ares623: and if you dont warp around then its even better, where abouts are you from?
[13:19] <Lilacor> Andeh: it's late in the country where the largest userbase is
[13:19] <larson9999> Andeh how are you installing flash?
[13:19] <GHOST> yep
[13:19] <Lilacor> Andeh: well..actually very early for most of us
[13:19] <Andeh> larson9999: Through firefox.
[13:19] <ares623> i'm halfway across the world. Philippines
[13:20] <ares623> it's xmas here btw..
[13:20] <_Pengo> andeh: that doesn't work
[13:20] <GHOST> im french!
[13:20] <ares623> merry xmas everyone!
[13:20] <larson9999> Andeh, like i said READ THJS CHANNEL'S TOPIC
[13:20] <GHOST> ;)
[13:20] <Lilacor> Andeh: have you uninstalled flash?
[13:20] <w4ett> Andeh: Christmas morning here in North America...sun is just rising
[13:20] <_Pengo> where it autodownloads flash from it fails the md5sum check
[13:20] <vishal> ares623: when you load then game and get into the main menu, press the "`" key, its on the left of number  1 to bring up the console, and the type in /connect ,IP.#
[13:20] <Andeh> larson9999: This is the ubuntu support channel. Firefox installing flash works everywhere, except on ubuntu. Ubuntu problem.
[13:20] <Lilacor> Andeh: "Adobe Flash plugin installation is currently broken, see « /msg ubotu flash "
[13:21] <vishal> ares623: oops, its /connect <IP>     so /connect et.bcclan.com
[13:21] <Andeh> Lilacor: Yes, and reinstalled it. Then suddenly GNASH started working, if you can call what it does "working".
[13:21] <ares623> ah ok
[13:21] <GHOST> Andeh       sudo apt_get install flashplugin-nonfree?
[13:21] <ares623> thanks
[13:21] <Andeh> :P
[13:21] <ares623> i'll try it right now
[13:21] <ares623> :)
[13:21] <vishal> ares623: you'll have a few downloads but not that many
[13:21] <larson9999> Andeh, the topic addresses the flash issue in plain english: Adobe Flash plugin installation is currently broken, see « /msg ubotu flash »
[13:21] <Andeh> GHOST: I told you already. I have it installed, yet firefox thinks I don't.
[13:21] <vishal> ares623: only one that might scare you is a 20mb file but its an awesome map
[13:21] <Andeh> larson: Oh. My screen doesnt go that far.
[13:21] <_Pengo> andeh: you don't have it installed
[13:22] <vishal> ares623: hopefully the server isnt empty,
[13:22] <Andeh> _Pengo: Meh.
[13:22] <_Pengo> andeh: if you are downloading it via synaptic or via firefox
[13:22] <_Pengo> it will download it, run a md5sum check and it will faill but the system thinks its installed but it is not
[13:22] <Andeh> _Pengo: Well i tried adobe.com, the RPM, and that didnt work either.
[13:22] <Andeh> Hmm.
[13:22] <Andeh> Thanks then.
[13:22] <Lilacor> Andeh: I'd use the straight tar ball
[13:22] <GHOST> Andeh    get plugin via firefox extentions
[13:22] <vishal> ares623: there is one person online so you should be ok, especial when your getting used to the game
[13:22] <larson9999> Andeh, and you don't know irc enough to show the topic?  why not ask how to read the topic when i suggested you read the topic repeatedly?
[13:22] <Andeh> Lilacor: The what?
[13:23] <Lilacor> Andeh: tar.gz file
[13:23] <GHOST> tar.gz for ubuntu
[13:23] <vishal> Does anyone know how to get the file transfer speed on the file copy dialogue?
[13:23] <_Pengo> lilacor: how will the tar file know where to install the plugin?
[13:23] <GHOST> rpm is for mandriva
[13:23] <Andeh> larson9999: I have a 24 inch monitor at font size 8 and the topic still doesnt fit in the screen. There is no way to show the rest except reszing and moving the window several times, which is so stupid i didnt think of it immediately.
[13:23] <Lilacor> _Pengo: it doesn't - you read the README file and then install it yourself.
[13:23] <_Pengo> great
[13:23] <Andeh> lol
[13:24] <_Pengo> that means editing files
[13:24] <_Pengo> so much easier on windows
[13:24] <_Pengo> :P
[13:24] <Andeh> Um, why doesn't someone make an update that fixes it?
[13:24] <larson9999> Andeh, asking over and over how to fix something that's addressed in a channel's topic doesn't win points when asking for help :)
[13:24] <Andeh> larson9999: :) :)
[13:24] <GHOST> ;)
[13:24] <Andeh> D:
[13:24] <GHOST> O.0
[13:24] <Lilacor> _Pengo: nobody is forcing you to use Ubuntu.
[13:24] <_Pengo> thats the spirit
[13:24] <Andeh> Lilacor: Windows is :)
[13:24] <_Pengo> :|
[13:24] <GHOST> TRY DESKTOP BSD
[13:25] <Andeh> This room is now officially awesome.
[13:25] <GHOST> lol
[13:25] <_Pengo> i just want to it work, i expect more from linux
[13:25] <RebateFX> hehe
[13:25] <Myrtti> *krhm*
[13:25] <Lilacor> _Pengo: Linux is still very young as a desktop OS, please understand that and be patient with its associated fits and conniptions.
[13:25] <Andeh> _Pengo: Ah, at last. Someone I can ask. How do i enable spellchecking in another language in OO? I already installed the spellcheck packages, now how do I get OO to USE them?
[13:25] <RebateFX> Does anyone know how to get xchat to make a noise when someone posts a message? I host a quiet room and I need an alert when someone speaks lol
[13:26] <GHOST> freebsd since 1970
[13:26] <Andeh> Lilacor: Yeah, only 17 years old D:
[13:26] <Slart> RebateFX: isn't there some kind of notification-preferences?
[13:26] <GHOST> lol
[13:26] <vishal> RebateFX: go to preference and then plugins, enable the sound notificaton and then restart
[13:26] <Lilacor> RebateFX: configured the plugins and you should get a notification when someone messages you.
[13:26] <Lunks> How to set up GPG keys on Ubuntu?
[13:26] <Andeh> So, has nobody here EVER used OO in another language?
[13:27] <Andeh> Shocking!
[13:27] <GHOST> only on windows :p
[13:27] <Lunks> Andeh: Hmm I use.
[13:27] <RebateFX> Slart, vishal, Lilacor. Thanks. I did that, but I mean for general chat messages. My PC should be beeping like mad in a room like this one :)
[13:27] <Lilacor> Andeh: 2007 was the year when Linux as a desktop OS really came into view.
[13:27] <Andeh> lilacor: It was 2006 for me :P
[13:27] <GHOST> yup
[13:27] <Lunks> Andeh: let me see what I do. :P
[13:27] <Andeh> And coming from a 13 year old, that means a lot :P
[13:27] <larson9999> 1997 for me
[13:27] <Andeh> heh
[13:27] <GHOST> 2007
[13:27] <vishal> RebateFX: so you want it to beep for every message sent in the channel?

[13:28] <Andeh> Byezs
[13:28] <confuded> Hi folks.
[13:28] <GHOST> lol
[13:28] <Lilacor> most people still don't know about the existence of linux but that is changing as major vendors are picking up the OS for various uses.
[13:29] <larson9999> i say try to many of the freely available things you can do in linux in windows and it doesn't take long before one realizes it's windows that's a pain.
[13:29] <HardDisk> Lilacor, you mean ubuntu
[13:29] <RebateFX> Andeh: They do if you make them eat a telephone
[13:29] <_Pengo> Andeh: i don't use OO I just use Google's office apps.
[13:29] <vishal> RebateFX: I cant see anything, erm you might need to edit the plugin to beep for all message or something
[13:29] <Lilacor> HardDisk: no, unfortunately, linux
[13:29] <Lunks> Andeh: look for myspell-* packages
[13:29] <saintz0r> hello all. need some help with a partiton.
[13:29] <GHOST> cauz linux is free of charge=no profit
[13:29] <saintz0r> cant figure out how to mount it
[13:29] <Andeh> RebateFX: Hmm... I wonder if you could keep the wires connected, and then call it...
[13:29] <RebateFX> vishal: Yeah. I could try :) Thanks
[13:29] <confuded> If anyone knows what module (driver w/e) does Ubuntu load for external firewire cd roms (drives) PLEASE PM me :) Thanks alot
[13:29] <Lilacor> HardDisk: ask the average person.. "Huh? is that some new kind of blender?"
[13:29] <saintz0r> gparted says its there
[13:29] <_Pengo> Andeh:I only use OO to recover word apps for customers at work
[13:29] <saintz0r> shows it
[13:29] <HardDisk> Lilacor, due to community, digg, slashdot, PR it's ubuntu that brought linux into 2007.
[13:29] <Andeh> Lunks: I already installed all that. How do i tell OO to USE it?
[13:29] <saintz0r> but i cant find it in my computer
[13:29] <larson9999> GHOST, that's not true.  plenty of companies make a profit from linux
[13:30] <Lunks> Andeh: Let me check. You already installed a myspell package?
[13:30] <Andeh> larson9999: Like microsof
[13:30] <Andeh> xD
[13:30] <Lilacor> HardDisk: yes but it's still not in plain view of the average joe.
[13:30] <Andeh> Lunks: Yes.
[13:30] <HardDisk> Lilacor, don't forget Dell's introduction to ubuntu onto it's desktop/laptop line.
[13:30] <RebateFX> Andeh: I'll just use my linksys skype phone that doesn't work in linux and just page it using the base ;)
[13:30] <GHOST> hey tats true
[13:30] <confuded> Can anyone provide please help... :(
[13:30] <HardDisk> and Dell IS infront of the average joe.

[13:30] <HardDisk> meh
[13:30] <vishal> RebateFX: Try install the Notification plugin, restart, then under the notification menu, select on all messages and restart again?
[13:30] <Lilacor> HardDisk: I can't stress how much Mark Shuttleworth has done for the Linux OS as a desktop system.
[13:30] <Andeh> RebateFX: Hmm. Maybe you could sandpaper your alarmclock, coat it in jelly and set it for 13 AM?
[13:30] <RebateFX> :o
[13:30] <HardDisk> don't stress, you'll pop a vein.
[13:30] <Andeh> ;D
[13:30] <GHOST> lol
[13:31] <Lilacor> HardDisk: we'd all be still banging our heads against walls without him
[13:31] <confuded> Anyone: firewire module
[13:31] <HardDisk> I disagree.
[13:31] <HardDisk> but we can talk it over next door.
[13:31] <Lunks> Andeh: on spellcheck, just select the language you want
[13:31] <Ximal> shuttleworth /

[13:33] <Slart> vishal: I'm not sure you can.. afaik
[13:34] <tifine> hello
[13:34] <confuded>  Question: What module/driver does Ubuntu or Kubuntu use to access the firewire external drives? My cd rom (firewire) only work with Ubuntu and Fedora.
[13:34] <likewise> HardDisk: thanks, I'm up and running again.
[13:34] <finn> question: is there much difference in performance between a P3 and a P2 for ubuntu on a notebook?
[13:34] <Lilacor> confuded: are you having trouble using your cdrom drive?
[13:34] <HardDisk> np dude
[13:34] <tifine> i want to configure the x1100 series printer
[13:34] <HardDisk> finn, main thing is ram.

[13:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Yep, morning to all, Slart, HardDisk, ghost et al.....
[13:34] <HardDisk> finn, and obviously yes, if the mhz is significant.
[13:34] <finn> the 2 computers I am investigating both have 256 mb ram
[13:34] <Andeh> Lunks: Hmm. The machine I plan to use is very low end. Do you know how to enable spellcheck in Abiword instead of OO?
[13:34] <mandh> can any one help me finding test king LPI 101 (117-101 ) to test linux ?
[13:34] <Slart> confuded: once a minute gets a bit annoying.. try waiting 5 minutes or so beween repeating the questions..
[13:35] <HardDisk> lo jacky
[13:35] <confuded> Slart, ok
[13:35] <finn> well the p3 is 450 mhz
[13:35] <HardDisk> haven't slept yet myself.

[13:35] <GHOST> shouldnt drink that much yesterday...
[13:35] <tifine> dont know how to install and configure it ? i dont have the installation disk!
[13:35] <Lunks> Andeh: found it
[13:35] <HardDisk> gonna pull an all nighter again
[13:35] <Lunks> hm
[13:35] <Andeh> Lunks::D
[13:35] <Lunks> Andeh: I've never used Abiword, but I've found on OO
[13:35] <GHOST> hey
[13:35] <Lunks> maybe it can help you, anyway
[13:35] <Andeh> Okay then
[13:35] <vishal> Slart: KK thanks, I used another distro before i used ubuntu and it had it on there, though it was pretty cool
[13:35] <Lunks> tools/options
[13:35] <Lunks> language/language
[13:35] <cryxen_> hey

[13:36] <Lunks> Andeh: double click it
[13:36] <tifine> slart: lexmark x1100 series
[13:36] <finn> so can I presume that a P3 450 mhz with 256 mb ram will operate smoothly?
[13:36] <Lunks> Andeh: it'll show 'writing aids'
[13:36] <Jack_Sparrow> finn: that is pretty marginal...
[13:36] <Andeh> Lunks: YES!!!!
[13:36] <Andeh> WOO
[13:37] <finn> the laptop costs $25 :P
[13:37] <Andeh> Croatian spellcheck support yaa!
[13:37] <GHOST> lol finaly :)
[13:37] <Andeh> Awesome! now can I get abiword to do this?
[13:37] <confuded> Quesuion: Anyone know where I can find the booting devices when running live CD, meaning the list of modules: SCSI drive, USB, firewire etc...
[13:37] <Lunks> Andeh: try it =P
[13:37] <finn> i know a P2 400 mhz was slow as molassess :(
[13:37] <Slart> tifine: hmm.. lexmark usually is pretty bad with linux support.. you could look at www.linuxprinting.org . Check if it's supported by cups
[13:37] <Myrtti> confuded: lsmod?
[13:38] <confuded> Myrtti, whats that?
[13:38] <confuded> Myrtti, is that the firewire module?
[13:38] <Jack_Sparrow> finn: a little extra ram in that would make a world of difference
[13:38] <Myrtti> a command to type on your terminal
[13:38] <HardDisk> finn, yes you may want to install with alternative cd and/or xubuntu
[13:38] <confuded> Myrtti, to do what?
[13:38] <vishal> Anyone know how I can speed up the load time on ubuntu?
[13:38] <HardDisk> note "may"
[13:38] <Myrtti> to see which modules have been loaded
[13:39] <Andeh> Just a very quick question: Typing in Abiword is laggy. I have a very high end computer and even typing in OO is not laggy. Why is typing in Abiword laggy?
[13:39] <confuded> Myrtti, oh ok thanks...
[13:39] <HardDisk> vishal, there are tonnes of tips on google to "tweak ubuntu"
[13:39] <finn> is ram cheap for such an old laptop??
[13:39] <Jack_Sparrow> finn: If you have trouble installing, go into the cmos/bios and set the video to use a minimum amount of shared memory
[13:39] <confuded> Myrtti, oh ok thanks...I'll try that when I get a chance...
[13:39] <HardDisk> finn, depending on where you are in the world.
[13:39] <finn> I thought it was impossible to open those things to install new ram.....
[13:39] <HardDisk> and whether you will purchase locally or online.
[13:39] <finn> ok...
[13:40] <HardDisk> try to do the research.
[13:40] <Slart> tifine: seems it is supported.. http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-X1100
[13:40] <vishal> HardDisk: Thanks, will look on that, its takes quite a while compared to windows
[13:40] <HardDisk> it never hurts to do your own researching.
[13:40] <Andeh> Does anyone here ever use Abiword?
[13:40] <tifine> Slart: okie let me check
[13:40] <Slart> Andeh: sometimes
[13:40] <Jack_Sparrow> finn: I was shocked at the cost of old ram.. it was way more than I expected...
[13:40] <HardDisk> Andeh, no sorry, Ooo for me.
[13:40] <sponix> anyone use a 3ware 7506 card ?
[13:41] <Andeh> Slart: Is Abiword usually laggy?
[13:41] <finn> yeah, I feared that :(
[13:41] <Slart> Andeh: not that I've noticed
[13:41] <corruptionoflulz> Andeh: i've used abiword a bit, and i found it way fast
[13:41] <Andeh> Ah
[13:41] <polz> does anyone here know how to get an USB flashdrive to always mount in the same location during boot, without gnome-volume-manager or some such thing ?
[13:41] <corruptionoflulz> atleast, compared to OO
[13:41] <Jack_Sparrow> polz: put the uuid of the usb stick into your fstab
[13:41] <corruptionoflulz> actually, just fast compared to anything
[13:41] <larson9999> Jack_Sparrow, try rimm!  i nearly fell over from shock.
[13:42] <Andeh> hey
[13:42] <Slart> polz: have you tried adding it to /etc/fstab using the uid-nbr of the drive as devicename?
[13:42] <Andeh> How do I start XFWM4?
[13:42] <Andeh> I'm running emerald in compiz
[13:42] <Yick> Hello, Is it possible to install Ubuntu to an USB-Stick and boot Ubuntu from the USB-Stick on a Computer which has WinXP installed?
[13:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Yick: yes
[13:42] <Slart> Yick: yes
[13:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !install

[13:42] <Andeh> How do I tell compiz to close and run XFWM4 instead?
[13:42] <GHOST> good buy all
[13:42] <Yick> Thanks a lot. Merry Christmas :)
[13:42] <polz> Slart: yep.
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Yick: one sec
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> pendrivelinux.com will have some helpful info on doing that
[13:43] <Slart> polz: it didn't work? then.. well.. perhaps look at the udev rules.. somewhere in /etc/udev
[13:43] <orbisvicis> any way to get some sort of file manager in framebuffer ?
[13:43] <Yick> Thanks agian :)
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[13:43] <Slart> orbisvicis: midnight commander is popular
[13:43] <tmjb> does anyone know dow ubuntu 6.06 LTS work with ICH9 controler ? ??
[13:43] <Slart> oh.. framebuffer... nevermind
[13:44] <orbisvicis> check it out
[13:44] <orbisvicis> ty
[13:44] <polz> Slart: actually, it mounts fine during startup...
[13:44] <tmjb> look like the ubuntu server edition is not very much Long Term Support
[13:45] <tmjb> for newer computer is much better to use some thing like 7.10
[13:45] <polz> Slart: the next question would be... how do I get it to properly re-mount after my computer returns from suspend ?
[13:46] <Slart> polz: ah.. suspend.. I don't even know what happens during a suspend.. even less about how things are setup when it wakes up again
[13:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Hibernate/suspend still seems to have issues
[13:47] <Slart> polz: if you ask me, it should figure that stuff out itself.. without user intervention.. but from what I understand, not much does =/
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow> polz: If you have the uuid in fstab the mount should not be an issue
[13:48] <tifine> Slart: from where i download the driver ?
[13:48] <Slart> tifine: it isn't available from the repos?
[13:49] <tifine> Slart: repos ?
[13:50] <Slart> tifine: repositories.. the same place you install most software from in ubuntu.. apt-get and synaptic get their stuff from the repositories
[13:50] <tifine> Slart: okie is there anyway that i can get the lexmark x1100 series driver
[13:50] <Jack_Sparrow> tmjb: Did you have a question about LTS and non-LTS releases
[13:50] <polz> hmm.. how exactly do the drives get mounted under /media, anyway ?
[13:51] <larson9999> errr, i couldn't get samba working because of a type-o in the tute i was reading :)
[13:51] <Slart> tifine: hang on.. I'm looking.. brb
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> larson9999: Thats a lesson you will remember
[13:51] <tifine> Slart: ok thnxs
[13:51] <jaybinks> howdy yall... im having trouble with my audio card in gutsy ... Alsa says there is no card..  Im trying to use an onboard audio (on a gigabyte ga-m57sli-s4 mobo ) any help would be great !
[13:52] <jaybinks> I THINK it uses hda-intel chip or something for audio... how do I make this work ?
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> jaybinks: DO you know the chipset for that audio setup?
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !intelhda

[13:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !install > olli
[13:53] <larson9999> Jack_Sparrow, yeah, seems like i forgot the tutorials that just work.  i spent a solid day messing with a mainframe utility once. finally got it working when i started from the top and accidentally made a type-o which corrected the type-o in the book.  i've never forgotten that!
[13:53] <tmjb> Jack_Sparrow, i have problem with curent lts version on Gigabyte P35-DS4 main board with Quad Core CPU  want install

[13:54] <olli> thx @ Jack_Sparrow
[13:54] <Jack_Sparrow> tmjb: Dapper wouldn't go in for you on that.. Odd, that is a very stable version
[13:54] <Jack_Sparrow> olli: np
[13:54] <larson9999> Jack_Sparrow, or paying good money for crap hw because i didn't research.  i'll never buy a via board again :)
[13:54] <olli> unfortunately there's nothing useful in this document
[13:55] <tmjb> Jack_Sparrow,Why the hell i have to use usb-cdrom  to installl on ich9 mainboard any ideas ???
[13:55] <Jack_Sparrow> olli: What about from USB or another...
[13:55] <Slart> tifine: hmm.. it wasn't that easy and I'm not very good with printers in linux.. there are some instructions on that link I gave you but I'm afraid I can't help you much with it.. perhaps someone else in the channel can
[13:55] <olli> look my problem is the following: I am at my parent's and the only working machine is my laptop
[13:55] <bazhang> olli: you want to do a minimal install? then see !minimal
[13:55] <Jack_Sparrow> tmjb: Please watch the language and keep this family friendly.. especially today
[13:55] <olli> all other machines are down
[13:55] <Condoulo> if my current main hard drive is (0,0), would my Windows drive be (0,1)
[13:55] <Belboz99> I'm having a problem where the install goes 100% fine, but on boot it can't find my hard drive :(
[13:55] <tmjb> Jack_Sparrow,sorry
[13:55] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[13:56] <tifine> Slart: thankyou for your help indeed
[13:56] <Slart> Condoulo: depends.. according to what numbering scheme? grub?
[13:56] <olli> I've got a working router, no working cd burners or external harddisks
[13:56] <Belboz99> where should I install the bootloader on a Vista machine with Vista on sda1 and Linux on sda5?
[13:56] <Condoulo> Slart- yeah, GRUB
[13:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Belboz99: If you boot the installcd will it then boot to the first hard drive
[13:57] <Jack_Sparrow> olli: NO usb sticks etc?
[13:57] <olli> one usb-stick
[13:57] <bazhang> olli: then do something like from www.pendrivelinux.com
[13:57] <olli> 256 mb
[13:58] <Slart> Condoulo: (hd0,4) would be the 4th partition on the first harddrive I think.. you might want to check the grub documentation to be sure though
[13:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Slart: that is #5
[13:58] <Condoulo> Slart- is there a way to check to make sure?
[13:58] <wols_> Biohazard: sda
[13:58] <wols_> Belboz99: sda
[13:58] <bazhang> olli: 4GB pen drives can be had cheap these days
[13:58] <polz> Slart: afaik that would be the 4th part.
[13:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Slart: Sorry. my bad
[13:58] <Slart> Condoulo: (hd1,1) would be the first partition on the second hard drive
[13:58] <polz> oops, what Jack_Sparrow said.
[13:58] <olli> unfortunately it's a bank-holiday in germany
[13:59] <larson9999> olli, i got mine for $40 about 3 months ago
[13:59] <tmjb> Jack_Sparrow,i read in this blog about new support for  added  support for some ICH8/ICH8-M/ICH9 IDE and SATA controllers http://hyip-man.blogspot.com/ looks like only way for me is 7.10
[13:59] <Slart> ok.. I think hard drives start at hd0 and partitions at 1.. everyone agree? =)
[13:59] <Condoulo> brb, going to do a re-boot. See if my GRUB edit worked.
[13:59] <polz> Slart: that's (hd1,0)
[13:59] <wols_> Slart: no
[13:59] <wols_> hd0,0 is sda1
[13:59] <bazhang> Slart: haha
[13:59] <wols_> and both are partitions
[13:59] <Condoulo> ok. o_O Will everyone stop confusing me

[14:00] <kksm19820117> Greetings, all. I've completed a alternate command line install from a Ubuntu 7.10, installed X, Fluxbox and MPlayer. The video runs fine, but I get no sound. I've probably got to install something, but I'm not sure if it's ALSA or something else. Could someone please help me? Thanks in advance.
[14:00] <tmjb> sorry Jack_Sparrow: wrong blog
[14:00] <wols_> good afternoon
[14:00] <Belboz99> so, I should install grub to 0,4?
[14:00] <Slart> Condoulo: as I said.. check the documentation..  =)
[14:00] <wols_> !sound | kksm19820117
[14:00] <Condoulo> !Grub
[14:00] <wols_> alsi is right
[14:00] <ubotu> kksm19820117: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[14:00] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[14:00] <wols_> Condoulo: which sdXX partition do you want in grub notation?
[14:00] <Belboz99> the thing is, I have grub working fine
[14:00] <kksm19820117> wols_, Thank you.
[14:01] <Belboz99> it just hangs at the splash screen
[14:01] <olli> I've got an idea! what about booting from a 256 pen drive and doing a network install from my laptop
[14:01] <olli> that might work
[14:01] <Belboz99> if I disable splash, I see it gets to a part where it complains about my chipset, and then it tries loading the cdrom driver, and then fails, leaving me at a terminal
[14:01] <wols_> Belboz99: disable the "quiet" from menu.lst and the bootsplash so you see what's going on
[14:02] <wols_> Belboz99: error messages please
[14:02] <Belboz99> wols_: NFORCE-MCP67:  not 100% native mode, will probe IRQ's later
[14:02] <Belboz99> wols_: BIOS didn't set cable bits correctly, Enabling work around
[14:02] <Andeh> Hi. I want to replace my Xubuntu install with Ubuntu. I am assuming to do this I must just install "ubuntu-desktop" then remove "xubuntu-desktop", right?
[14:03] <Belboz99> I've seen on google others just go right past this problem
[14:03] <Belboz99> I've tried noapic and all the other kernel flags I can think of
[14:03] <wols_> Belboz99: shouldn't be a problem
[14:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Andeh: YEs, or just leave the other desktop there and have it as an available option when you login

[14:04] <Andeh> :D
[14:04] <Belboz99> well, eventually it gets to this:
[14:04] <Belboz99> (09:26:32 PM) Belboz99: Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
[14:04] <Belboz99> (09:26:55 PM) Belboz99: or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
[14:04] <Belboz99> (09:27:12 PM) Belboz99: ALERT! /dev/sda5 does not exit.  Dropping to a shell!
[14:04] <Belboz99> and that may be the real problem, which is why I asked about grub
[14:04] <wols_> aha. that is the problem
[14:05] <hotgklub> http://www.hotgirlclub.net.ms check out hot girl movies
[14:05] <Lunks> may I ask, why there's "#ubuntu-unregged"?
[14:05] <olli> Jack_Sparrow: The thing (install without CD) you send me via ubotu was exactly what I was looking for
[14:05] <olli> Thanks a lot!
[14:05] <Slart> can't someone kick hotgklub?
[14:05] <wols_> what is in your menu.lst for root?
[14:05] <Jack_Sparrow> olli: np
[14:06] <Belboz99> wols_: you want it from the grub menu, or should I head into a live-CD?
[14:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Lunks: Sometimes we need to lockdown the channel, and divert unregg'd people there..
[14:06] <Belboz99> heh, now that's freaking weird
[14:06] <wols_> Belboz99: grub menu
[14:06] <Belboz99> I do an ls at the terminal it gives, and /boot isn't listed :-P

[14:13] <Belboz99> wols_: which line did you want from my menu.lst?

[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> cyzie: HOw bad is the system and what error..
[14:17] <HardDisk> chintan, #freenode
[14:17] <HardDisk> my bad didn't see it was done already.
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> cyzie: Typical of some people not wanting a backup until after they need it.
[14:17] <cyzie> Jack_Sparrow, pretty bad. the memory cause big SHIT... such as when u launch a console, it throw error. everytime u start browser, it crash with core dump. when u copy files, it hang the whole systems everytime..
[14:17] <Andeh> What is the process name of the ubuntu installer? It froze and I want to kill it
[14:18] <cyzie> Jack_Sparrow, yes, u are right.
[14:18] <erpo> When I plug an SD card into my laptop's card reader, it's detected and mounted automatically. But when I plug an xD card into the same reader, nothing happens. How do I fix this?
[14:18] <Slart> Andeh: you're the one with a working console.. try ps -A | grep -i install
[14:18] <Andeh> Slart: Meh, i rebooted X
[14:18] <thor> Condoulo you have to do 'sudo fdisk -l'
[14:19] <Condoulo> thor- I did. And it only gave me info about the flash drive I had plugged in at the time
[14:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !clone > Jack_Sparrow
[14:19] <mason> hello
[14:19] <Jack_Sparrow> cyzie: Can you get to recovery mode
[14:19] <thor> Condoulo what does 'mount' say?
[14:19] <mason> i like make friends
[14:19] <arkaitz> hola
[14:19] <thor> Condoulo are you running off the flash drive?
[14:19] <cyzie> Jack_Sparrow, why ?
[14:19] <mason> and i come from china
[14:20] <Condoulo> thor- no
[14:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !es > arkaitz
[14:20] <Condoulo> Thor- I am trying to get GRUB to show my windows install on my second hard drive.
[14:20] <mason> where are you?

[14:20] <ubotu> mason: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[14:20] <Jack_Sparrow> cyzie: If you can get to cli in recovery mode you can run the dpkg command and see if it works
[14:20] <gostone> Hello all
[14:20] <gostone> Any ideas as to why I can't rename my USB key under Gutsy?
[14:21] <cyzie> Jack_Sparrow, well, that wont be neccessary. because what u suggest is before the system crash. but it is not suitable for this case asi dont do the get-selections before the errror..
[14:21] <thor> Condoulo a windows xp install?
[14:21] <gostone> any suggestions appreciated
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> cyzie: YOu can also try to install another desktop and try that in case the issue is at that level
[14:21] <Condoulo> thor- Yeah, Windows XP
[14:21] <Slart> gostone: what did you try? and what was the result?
[14:21] <wols_> cyzie: boot a livecd,chroot into your system, run the get-selectioon
[14:21] <thor> Condoulo ok...give me a sec
[14:21] <Condoulo> thor- but my problem is finding  the mount point. I Ubuntu drive is (0,0), but I have no idea what my XP drive is
[14:21] <mason> how can i talk with a friend on net in QQ procootol
[14:22] <cyzie> Jack_Sparrow, nah... i guess the wiser step now is to use the debsums.. that is more concrete way to go for now.
[14:22] <gostone> tried right click, but greyed out, then did sudo nautilus, and it said " could not rename
[14:22] <wols_> Condoulo: sudo update-grub doesn't put it in?
[14:22] <Jack_Sparrow> cyzie: It should work, but since you dont care to try or listen, I cant help you
[14:22] <wols_> Condoulo: if not: show us your /boot/grub/device.map
[14:22] <mason> is there anyone?
[14:22] <thor> Condoulo I believe it would be 1,0....not sure, but it wouldn't hurt to give that a go. I assume your xp drive was bootable and you just moved it and installed linux on the other drive?
[14:22] <mason> hello
[14:22] <wols_> mason: what is QQ protocol?
[14:22] <helsing> Enter text here..hi
[14:22] <mason> by-by
[14:22] <cyzie> Jack_Sparrow, I'm cosnidering your help, personally i don tthink it work now. ;)
[14:22] <mason> bye
[14:23] <cyzie> Jack_Sparrow, but it is good that command for the future now
[14:23] <gostone> QQ is like AIM, or yahoo messenger, common in asia
[14:23] <Condoulo> thor- What I did to install XP was disable my Ubuntu drive, and then re-enable my Ubuntu drive once the install was done. And I already tried 1,0. no luck
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> cyzie: IT isnt that hard to try it...
[14:23] <Condoulo> yeah, sudo-grub update does not help
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> cyzie: You are not trying to use the packages that you installed, just the names of them.
[14:23] <krupa^> hello all! hey, how can i set my ubuntu to run automaticly without GUI ? ... thanks!
[14:23] <cyzie> wols_, yes, the system can bootup it just that some package i cant download due to dependecies proiblem.
[14:23] <thor> Condoulo if you do 'sudo fdisk -l' it doesn't show anything?
[14:23] <wols_> cyzie: so what is the problem?
[14:24] <Condoulo> thor- nothing unless my flash drive is plugged in. but thats my flash drive's info
[14:24] <cyzie> wols_, check the integrity of the packages install in the system
[14:24] <Jack_Sparrow> cyzie: Sounds like you used automatix or envy and now you have a problem
[14:24] <hkBst> where can I find out the kernel version that sits on the release?
[14:24] <gostone> Any ideas on renaming my USB key Slart?
[14:24] <cyzie> Jack_Sparrow, well, nope.
[14:24] <wols_> cyzie: debsums
[14:24] <cyzie> wols_, yes, using that now.
[14:24] <thor> Condoulo that's not right....it would have to show your linux drive if nothing else...I mean...you are logged in right?
[14:24] <Condoulo> thor- yeah
[14:24] <wols_> hkBst: "sits on the release"?
[14:24] <Slart> gostone:  I just tried the same thing myself.. same result.. just checking here.. when you say rename.. you just mean the name that shows up in nautilus?
[14:25] <hkBst> wols_: the on used by the cd. I can't boot it.
[14:25] <wols_> Condoulo: cat /proc/partitions
[14:25] <wols_> hkBst: what error(s)?
[14:25] <cyzie> wols_, if you have time, take a look at this link please.http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49528/
[14:25] <thor> Condoulo what does 'mount' say?
[14:25] <Stwange> Merry Christmas all. As a present to me, can anyone tell me how to resize an NTFS partition from Ubuntu? GParted has the option greyed out
[14:25] <gostone> yes, the name of the key, I am sure in Hoary, and previously I just right clicked, and renamed
[14:25] <hkBst> wols_: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7004
[14:25] <Condoulo> thor- gives me no mount
[14:26] <hkBst> wols_: rather http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7004#c13
[14:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Stwange: I prefer to use the stand alone gparted live cd...  but you cant resize a mounted partition
[14:26] <wols_> cyzie: apt-cache policy for x11vnc and libvncserver0
[14:26] <cyzie> wols_, thanks. i do that.
[14:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Stwange: if that is what you are trying to do with the ubuntu livecd
[14:26] <thor> Condoulo something isn't right....it would have to show / and /home at a minimum, and a swap probably
[14:26] <Stwange> Jack_Sparrow, I thought that, but I dismounted it and nothing changed. And now I dunno how to remount :S but I'd rather resize first :)
[14:26] <Slart> gostone: look here. .might help you .. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=426139
[14:26] <cyzie> wols_, what should i expect?

[14:27] <wols_> Condoulo: what does the command I gave you show?
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Stwange: Hope you have a backup of anything important on that ntfs
[14:27] <darkfrog> Hey guys, I can't seem to get sound to work on my box...it worked with Fedora and just tried to switch over to Ubuntu 7.10 and everything seems to installed correctly, but no sound...
[14:27] <wols_> cyzie: from where packages are/will be installed
[14:27] <hkBst> kengero2222: use the alternate cd
[14:27] <kengero2222> i already installed ubuntu
[14:27] <Condoulo> wols_- Major, Minor, #Blocks, and name
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> darkfrog: INtel HD audio?
[14:27] <kengero2222> just want it to be default without gui
[14:27] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk? You there?
[14:27] <Stwange> Jack_Sparrow, before I resize it, or before I dismounted it?
[14:27] <kengero2222> (just in case i need the gui)
[14:27] <JonaTh> darkfrog: Same problem here,,,
[14:28] <darkfrog> Jack_Sparrow, I have onboard sound and an Audigy SB card. The latter is what I want to play sound through.
[14:28] <khelll> where shall i find the jdk files on my pc?
[14:28] <cyzie> wols_, for x11vnc Candidate: 0.9.3.dfsg.1-1ubuntu1~gutsy1
[14:28] <wols_> hkBst: ubuntu uses 2.6.22
[14:28] <cyzie> wols_, for libvncserver0 . none
[14:28] <wols_> cyzie: pastebin. ALL of it
[14:28] <darkfrog> khelll, /usr/java/... ?
[14:28] <cyzie> wols_, ok
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Stwange: Before you do anthing to an ntfs.. make sure you have a recovery method for anything you cant afford to lose
[14:28] <wols_> khelll: dpkg -L <package name>
[14:28] <Andeh> I have Xubuntu, though I want to install Ubuntu over it. i have installed "ubuntu-desktop". Now how do I get rid of Xubuntu's apps?
[14:29] <thor> Condoulo try 'hwinfo' in a terminal and see if you have that installed
[14:29] <Condoulo> thor- not installed. :P
[14:29] <CokeNCode> guys, looking for 1) software to rip audio from youtube vids, and 2) software to manipulate my own mp3s, nothing too complicated, just cut them off early, n start them later, stuff like that
[14:29] <arkaitz> hola
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Andeh: Do you want to remove the XUB desktop?
[14:29] <Andeh> Jack_Sparrow: yes, and all the crud it came with.
[14:30] <Slart> CokeNCode: my answer for 2) audacity
[14:30] <arkaitz> como es el canal ubuntu en castellano
[14:30] <arkaitz> :S
[14:30] <gostone> thanks Slart, I was just hoping it would be a simple right click, it used to work in renaming USB pen drives.....
[14:30] <wols_> !es | arkaitz
[14:30] <ubotu> arkaitz: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[14:30] <Stwange> Jack_Sparrow, I've got most of it, you any idea how to go about resizing it? I got most of the important stuff. I don't have a copy of the ubuntu CD but I've got GParted
[14:30] <Andeh> Jack_Sparrow: Like Abiword, etc. Can I get rid of those, without looking up every single app ONLY xubuntu has?
[14:30] <bazhang> miro for video from youtube CokeNCode
[14:30] <CokeNCode> bazhang, but, i just want the audio
[14:30] <Slart> gostone: mm.. it would be nice if that right-click menu worked
[14:31] <thor> CokeNCode Audacity for editing
[14:31] <Condoulo> just installed hwinfo
[14:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Andeh: I would think apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop   would do what you want.. but I dont do Xub
[14:31] <bazhang> CokeNCode: first get the video though right?
[14:31] <CokeNCode> true ... thanks bazhang
[14:31] <Andeh> Jack_Sparrow: I did that. It removed 42 KB
[14:31] <CokeNCode> thor, audacity keeps giving me errors :(
[14:31] <CokeNCode> any other suggestions
[14:31] <Andeh> Jack_Sparrow: Doesnt really work, i think.
[14:31] <Slart> Jack_Sparrow: aren't those desktop packages just meta packages?
[14:31] <thor> Condoulo 'hwinfo' will output a ton of info....capture it to a text file with 'hwinfo > hwinfo.txt'
[14:31] <wols_> Jack_Sparrow: -desktop packages are meta packages
[14:32] <Condoulo> thor- ok
[14:32] <hkBst> wols_: is there some record of that online?
[14:32] <wols_> Andeh: you want to find a lib all of xfce depends on and remove that one. depdencies will do the rest. but that won't get rid of abiword for example
[14:32] <cyzie> wols_, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49528/
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Slart: I thought that would remove the entire meta-package
[14:32] <wols_> hkBst: packages.ubuntu.com
[14:32] <hkBst> wols_: maybe even a complete package-version list?
[14:32] <darkfrog> is alsa what I should be using on Ubuntu, or is something else preferred?
[14:32] <CokeNCode> does miro have a gui interface
[14:32] <CokeNCode> or is it command line ?
[14:32] <wols_> cyzie: I want your apt-cache policy output duh!
[14:32] <darkfrog> CokeNCode, UI
[14:32] <thor> CokeNCode Ardour, but I have just installed it and not yet tried it...so can't tell you anything about how good or bad it is
[14:32] <Slart> Jack_Sparrow: yes.. the meta-package.. which probably is several kilobytes in size =).. I don't think it removes all the real packages though
[14:33] <cyzie> wols_, it is there?!
[14:33] <wols_> darkfrog: yes you should use alsa
[14:33] <CokeNCode> thanks thor
[14:33] <cyzie> wols_, line 14-26
[14:33] <wols_> cyzie: it only has 11 lines here
[14:33] <darkfrog> wols_, I'm at a loss why this won't work then...it says it's playing, it lists the card properly, but nothing comes out.
[14:33] <cyzie> wols_, ttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49533/
[14:33] <darkfrog> the connection is good

[14:38] <thor> Condoulo well...it won't necessarily be sda3, but you should be able to identify both drives in that text file....see what devices they are. I suspect you will find /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1
[14:38] <Condoulo> thor- yeah, I found it

[14:39] <wols_> cyzie: which x11vnc is installed or gets tried? the 0.9 version?
[14:40] <cyzie> wols_, it is installed before but when the system got into shit, the x11vnc wotn work anymore so im trying to reinstall it.
[14:40] <wols_> cyzie: don't use the gutsy backport one
[14:41] <thor> Condoulo nope...the line with the block device.../dev/hda or /dev/sda...
[14:41] <cyzie> wols_, ok, so how do i select another one ?
[14:41] <Stwange> can anyone tell me how to remount an ntfs partition? it's /dev/sda1
[14:41] <wols_> cyzie: remove the backports from your sources.list, install it
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Slart: I think this link shows how to remove everything in a metapackage...   http://techaspect.net/2007/11/08/how-to-remove-any-meta-package-in-ubuntu/
[14:42] <shishirmk> Stwange:what do you mean remount?
[14:42] <Stwange> shishirmk, I dismounted it :) so maybe mount is the word im looking for
[14:42] <thor> Condoulo do you have multiple partitions on either of the drives?
[14:42] <Slart> Jack_Sparrow: ah.. that actually looked usable.. thanks
[14:42] <Condoulo> thor- No. unless you count the partitions that automatically come with Ubuntu
[14:42] <cyzie> wols_, ok but is there a way to select gutsy/universe version before installing x11vnc?
[14:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Slart: np, It is nice to learn as well as help in here
[14:43] <darkfrog> It's really sad that everything has gone so well with the switch from Fedora to Ubuntu and I'm stuck on sound. :o
[14:43] <polz> grrrr
[14:43] <thor> Condoulo did you find the device designations.../dev/sda or /dev/hda
[14:44] <aro> Anyone else timing out on us.archive.ubuntu.com repository?
[14:44] <Condoulo> thor- its /dev/hdb1
[14:44] <polz> whenever I put my laptop to sleep, the USB CF reader resets itself
[14:44] <simplyubuntu> has anyone experienced this? http://img96.imageshack.us/my.php?image=usplashhm7.png
[14:44] <polz> and when it comes back to life, the card gets detected as a new device
[14:44] <shishirmk> Stwange:you have gutsy?
[14:44] <Jack_Sparrow> simplyubuntu: Please explain the problem in channel instead of just spamming us with the link
[14:44] <thor> Condoulo then that should be hd(1,0)
[14:44] <wols_> cyzie: don't use the backports, then the gutsy version will be taken
[14:45] <Condoulo> thor- ok. But I already tried that and had no luck upon boot. =/
[14:45] <thor> Condoulo that is the xp drive?
[14:45] <Condoulo> thor- yeah, the XP drive
[14:45] <aro> Is http://www.ubuntu.com down for anyone else?
[14:45] <simplyubuntu> i was just about to Jack_Sparrow
[14:45] <polz> does anyone have any ideas on how I could prevent that ?
[14:45] <cyzie> wols_, thanks. installing now.
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> simplyubuntu: thank you
[14:45] <Condoulo> thor- this is what I have in menu.lst for the XP. I have title, root, makeactive, and chainloader +1
[14:45] <cyzie> but the question is how to specify other repo to use during install of a package. ;)
[14:45] <Psyduck_> how do i add a new network on the Xchat?? I tried a lot of times but always ask if i put the wrong adreass
[14:45] <Slart> aro: works for me
[14:45] <wols_> simplyubuntu: still the same problem with all files in Lost+Found?
[14:46] <simplyubuntu> the progress bar in my usplash appears in the bottom left hand corner.... is that normal? http://img96.imageshack.us/my.php?image=usplashhm7.png
[14:46] <Stwange> shishirmk, yeah
[14:47] <shishirmk> then i think if you restart it recognises it as a unmounted volume just right click and say mount
[14:47] <thor> Condoulo found this...http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/installation/56461-grub-menu-lst-chainloader-help-needed.html...looks like he had the same problem....the solution seems to be at the end of the thread. Worth a try
[14:48] <Jack_Sparrow> cyzie: Did you ever think that using the unofficial repos are what caused your problems in the first place
[14:48] <cyzie> Jack_Sparrow, no, not really. not until the ram causign a lot of shit.
[14:48] <simplyubuntu> haha wols_, im touched that you remember :) i decided to just reinstall because it was too complicated... i did manage to salvage my var>cache>apt>archives debs, so i'll just apt-get install on the new machine and synaptic will use my old debs :P genius! all thanks to HardDisk, who seems to have left... and i think that all these people wanting to know why ubuntu site is down is because im doing a s*itload of updates right about now :P
[14:49] <Jack_Sparrow> cyzie: Potty mouth
[14:49] <simplyubuntu> anyone got anything similar to my usplash???
[14:50] <cyzie> Jack_Sparrow, ?
