[06:23] <varun0> bacongrease: search for "samba ubuntu" on google. Things will come up. If you have problems, ask the channel
[06:23] <noobie0051> DShepherd: Yes, the hard drive is full, (mythtv)
[06:23] <varun0> b_9: np man. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful
[06:23] <noobie0051> DSShepard: I can hit escape when it prompts about Grub, and I get to a grub> prompt
[06:23] <bacongrease> varun0:  i've done my share of googling/searching.  samba is installed.  vista has ALL securities turned off (on a closed no-WAN network)
[06:24] <bacongrease> varun0:  in ubuntu.. i cant see my vistaPC.... in vista, I can see the UbuntuPC, but it requires username/pass to "explore"
[06:24] <varun0> does samba log somewhere? I'm not sure.
[06:24] <bacongrease> no matter what combo of u/p i cannot work
[06:24] <bacongrease> i use root/pw
[06:24] <bacongrease> username/pw
[06:24] <bacongrease> etc
[06:24] <DShepherd> noobie0051, hmm... so it doesnt drop you to the command line when trying to boot?
[06:24] <noobie0051> DShepherd: I also have 4 different choices when I boot up 2 of them say recovery
[06:24] <Nunzio> bacongrease: Turn samba to share instead of user
[06:24] <sSiroSoriSs> the nternet is highly over rated
[06:24] <Bender> how compatible is 2 yearold dell hardware with ubuntu
[06:24] <sSiroSoriSs> it's a dia technology you realise?
[06:24] <sSiroSoriSs> cia technology
[06:25] <Nunzio>    security = user
[06:25] <Nunzio>    security = share is what you want
[06:25] <sSiroSoriSs> distributed intelligence agency
[06:25] <Nunzio> im thinking thats right
[06:25] <noobie0051> DSherpherd:,, no it stops half way thought, I'll reboot to make sure though,, I'm using a KVM switch
[06:25] <bacongrease> nunzio, thank you, will try that now
[06:25] <varun0> bacongrease: http://www.go2linux.org/node/98. He says something about Vista at the bottom
[06:25] <Nunzio> be sure to restart samba after you save the conf
[06:25] <DShepherd> noobie0051, try the recovery mode..
[06:26] <DShepherd> noobie0051, you have a live cd? that would work..
[06:26] <bacongrease> thanks guys.  ive tried everything setting i felt applicable in the GUI.. ill give this a shot
[06:26] <Nutubuntu> sSiroSoriSs, there's not a single thing you have right in all of that. Not DIA, not CIA, and DIA != what you said. And add to all that, it's OT.
[06:27] <noobie0051> DSheperd: I have a live CD for an older version 6.06
[06:27] <shellhack> thanks to the people to banned me yesterday
[06:27] <shellhack> I had resolved the problem for myself
[06:28] <fonz> how would i go about finding overlapping dependencies between two packages in apt?
[06:28] <Flannel> fonz: What are you trying to do, ultimately?
[06:28] <DShepherd> noobie0051, shouldn't matter... you just want to delete some stuff
[06:28] <shellhack> and I did stealed nothing, thanks for your help
[06:28] <noobie0051> DSherpard: as it boots I see a graphical progress bar, then I get some garbled text and a message "GDM could not write a authorization entry to disk" I can hit enter
[06:28] <shellhack> att: Shellhack
[06:28] <fonz> Flannel: I want to install e17 over an ubuntu server install...
[06:29] <Flannel> fonz: alright, why do you need to figure out dependencies?
[06:29] <DShepherd> noobie0051, and then what happens after hitting enter..
[06:29] <fonz> Flannel: and i figured out that anything xubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu, and edubuntu all use is worth having ;-)
[06:30] <bayziders> How do you use hfsplus?
[06:30] <noobie0051> DShepherd: then a message cannot start X, then I see a list of boot up status (on the right it says [ok]  [ok]  [ok] )
[06:30] <fonz> Flannel: i mostly want to avoid xorg problems
[06:30] <noobie0051> DShepherd: it stops at Running local boot up scripts
[06:30] <Flannel> fonz: Well, there wouldn't be a whole lot that they all have.  Since they use different libraries.  Why don't you just use packages for e17?
[06:30] <DShepherd> noobie0051, pop in live cd that he has.. boot up.. mount the disk and delete files off the disk that you dont want..
[06:31] <fonz> Flannel: the packages don't say the xorg deps.
[06:31] <DShepherd> noobie0051, if a full disk is your problem then that will help
[06:31] <DShepherd> noobie0051, care to give it a go?
[06:31] <fonz> Flannel: would it work if i just installed 'xorg'?
[06:31] <noobie0051> Dshepherd: Thanks!! will I need the same user name/password to mount - not a problem just curious
[06:31] <DShepherd> noobie0051, should need a password..
[06:31] <DShepherd> ubuntu is your username
[06:32] <DShepherd> shoudnt*
[06:32] <txoof> what is the name of the meta package that includes gcc and all of the basics needed for compiling?
[06:32] <Flannel> fonz: that's because you don't necessarily need an Xserver.  but yeah, xserver-xorg and xorg
[06:32] <Flannel> txoof: build-essential
[06:32] <DShepherd> i mean you DONT neeed a password noobie0051
[06:32] <noobie0051> DShepherd: Ok I'll give it a shot
[06:32] <fonz> Flannel: awesome, thx
[06:32] <txoof> Flannel: thanks!
[06:32] <DShepherd> noobie0051, kool
[06:32] <bayziders> 100th time asking the same question: How do you use hfsplus?
[06:32] <Flannel> fonz: ah, sorry. xorg includes xserver-xorg, so just xorg.
[06:33] <vexati0n> anyone here use VirtualBox ?
[06:34] <fonz> k
[06:35] <fonz> Flannel: thanks
[06:35] <pawan> hi
[06:35] <pawan> !hi
[06:35] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:36] <squareyes> hi all
[06:36] <bullgard4> What is the proper command to ask OFTC if the nick 'foo' is already regitered or not?
[06:37] <pawan> can we install linux mint and ubuntu on the same system
[06:37] <Flannel> bullgard4: you'd `/msg nickserv info foo` on oftc
[06:37] <bullgard4> What is the proper command to ask OFTC network if the nick 'foo' is already registered or not?
[06:37] <quaal> anyone know how to configure the sound in firefox/flash
[06:37] <quaal> i just installed a new soundcard
[06:37] <ntbnnt> !love
[06:37] <ubotu> Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come.
[06:37] <popt> ask again or I miss answer? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33000/  Anyone know what [+]  mean?
[06:37] <Jeff_Mitchell> anyone know of a program which i can use to throttle the speeds of specific ports?
[06:37] <Flannel> pawan: You can install as many linuxes as you want on separate partitions.  I'm not sure if you can install mint/ubuntu on the same install, if tat's what you're asking
[06:38] <popt> not default
[06:38] <popt> default is *
[06:38] <pawan> on different partitions
[06:38] <[H70] Queso> nick Queso
[06:38] <squareyes> installed Thunderbird on dapper, will get mail, but keeps asking for password when I try to send any suggestions seen to remember I need to untick something
[06:39] <TheCheese> Pelo, it's me cheese gardener again.  I have a quick question.  My hard drive setup was different than what I thought.
[06:39] <TheCheese> Pelo, could you give me a quick hand with this perhaps?
[06:39] <bullgard4> Flannel: Thank you very much. Nickserv responded nicely.
[06:40] <palintheus> I think pelo signed off, you may just ask
[06:40] <TheCheese> Well, I have a tiny problem.
[06:40] <TheCheese> I have a 20 gig master drive
[06:40] <ntbnnt> !bluetooth
[06:40] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[06:40] <TheCheese> and a 60 gig slave.
[06:40] <TheCheese> can I install the / and /home to the slave?
[06:40] <TheCheese> can I install the swap to the slave too?
[06:40] <thinh> is there a channel for shell scripting?
[06:41] <bulmer> thinh  join #bash
[06:41] <palintheus> TheCheese: can you swap the drives so the bigger drive is primary?
[06:41] <bullgard4> thinh: I think there was a channel #bash
[06:41] <jpowermacg4> i'm running ubuntu-server and was wondering how i can install desktop on here.. but make it so that X doesn't start by default?
[06:42] <Queso> I'm having trouble getting my laptop to read the installation CD, my other computers can read it fine but on my laptop neither the BIOS nor Windows can read it
[06:42] <TheCheese> palintheus, I could, but I don't know how.  I know there is a pin, I need to take from one and slip into the other.  Can I do it easily by opening just the side of the case?
[06:42] <Jeff_Mitchell> anyone know of a program which i can use to throttle the speeds of specific ports?
[06:42] <TheCheese> palintheus, or do I have to take the drives physically out?
[06:42] <jpowermacg4> Queso.. might be outta luck there.. can try alternate CD or debian.
[06:42] <bullgard4> Queso: You need telling us also what the computer does in those two cases.
[06:42] <Tremitos> Hello
[06:43] <palintheus> TheCheese: Depends on how the drives are positioned in the case because the pins are on the back of the drives
[06:43] <noobie0051> DShepherd: I'm having trouble mounting the harddrive,, natulis shows 4 unmouted drives,, (I have 2 sata drives, 4 partitions on the 2nd drive (all unused), and 1 partition on the other drive, this drive is not listed. I cannot mount any of the 4 drives listed
[06:43] <pawan> can we install linspire and ubuntu on same system different partition
[06:43] <TheCheese> palintheus let me check, the case is a clear case
[06:43] <Queso> bios just skips the CD and goes to windows, windows says the CD is either corrupted or in an invalid format, but windows and ubuntu on my other computers read it fine
[06:44] <lockd> Jeff_Mitchell: never heard of it, but ISPs do it all the time so it shouldn't be hard
[06:44] <LordLimecat> help, my desktop doesnt show up in Gnome :\
[06:44] <gluttony> i am having trouble with my sound. the other day it is working perfect, got the start up sound and everything. but yesterday, i relized that it had stopped working.
[06:44] <palintheus> TheCheese: are you dual booting, or is there a reason you want the / partition on the slave?
[06:44] <DShepherd> noobie0051, what command are you using to mount the drive?
[06:44] <Tremitos> I'll think about it
[06:45] <TheCheese> palintheus they look like they're at the bottom of the case, pointing towards the front of the case.  I see wires coming out of one side, yellow, black, and red.
[06:45] <SirFunk> anyone here use luks?
[06:45] <LordLimecat> i think somethings wrong with my nautilus :\
[06:45] <bulmer> Jeff_Mitchell: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Packet_Shaping
[06:45] <TheCheese> palintheus, I assume this is the back of the drives?  with the plug in it?
[06:45] <popt> ask again or I miss answer? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33000/  Anyone know what [+]  mean?
[06:45] <popt> :(
[06:46] <palintheus> TheCheese: yes
[06:46] <bobsumbody> can someone give me a quick bittorrent how too?
[06:46] <TheCheese> palintheus, could you help me locate the pins on an example picture so I don't screw this up?
[06:46] <bobsumbody> actually never mind... so much for down time :P
[06:46] <noobie0051> Dshepherd: I'm just using natulis, I'm not familiar with doing this though the terminal,, I know the drive is /dev/sda
[06:46] <bobsumbody> clients always call when i get a free second.....
[06:46] <emeriste> Yes. bob. Go to synaptic package manager and search for deluge
[06:46] <emeriste> then install it
[06:47] <emeriste> Do you want to use a bittorrent or do you want to know how they work exactly?
[06:47] <TheCheese> palintheus, what should I use, in place of a anti-static bracelet?  I don't have one.  Should I touch a metal screwdriver first or a doornob?
[06:47] <palintheus> TheCheese: each manufacturer is different, they will usually have a diagram on the drive and if not you could google the manufacturer and model #
[06:47] <emeriste> I mean, do you want to know how to use one or how it works?
[06:47] <DShepherd> noobie0051, wanna try some command line magic
[06:47] <DShepherd> ?
[06:47] <bobsumbody> emeriste: yeah how it works, because im pretty good w/ comp's but it just goes over my head
[06:47] <popt> where ubuntu record Tomcat logs by default?
[06:47] <emeriste> I don't know myself how it works, exactly, though I have a basic idea. It's easy to use one though.
[06:48] <noobie0051> Dshepherd: sure!
[06:48] <palintheus> TheCheese: just don't be standing on carpet, and preferably wearing shoes or barefoot and just touch the case first
[06:48] <bulmer> popt look for the tomcat config file, it is defined there
[06:48] <TheCheese> palintheus is it ok to reach in with my hands and touch the parts?
[06:48] <DShepherd> noobie0051, do you know how to get to the terminal?
[06:48] <noobie0051> Dshepherd: yes
[06:49] <DShepherd> noobie0051, good . your a pro!
[06:49] <emeriste> I think the way that it works is that a website keeps track of where people have the file located.   You use a bittorrent client to place yourself on the list that that tracker is keeping...
[06:49] <LordLimecat> help, nautilus and gnome are really acting wierd, my desktop doesnt appear and i cannot browse my home folder thru gnome :(
[06:49] <emeriste> Then everyone who has the file in part or in whole start sending it to you (well not everyone but many people).
[06:49] <DShepherd> noobie0051, sudo fdisk -l #displays what?
[06:49] <Cod1> How do I kill a program under wine?  Its crashed
[06:49] <emeriste> And you simotaneously start sending it to others on that list who need it.
[06:49] <Cod1> and stalled
[06:49] <bayziders> How do you use hfsplus?
[06:49] <palintheus> TheCheese: yeah just try not to touch to much of the circuitry, the oils/grease on fingers can sometimes short stuff
[06:49] <emeriste> You send little bits of the file to possibly many people.
[06:49] <DShepherd> noobie0051, dont paste here.. use the pastebin
[06:50] <DShepherd> !pastebin | noobie0051
[06:50] <ubotu> noobie0051: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:50] <lockd> emeriste: only once you have gotten enough blocks, afaict
[06:50] <bobsumbody> emeriste, is it good practce to only use new .toorents? or are they usually left in tact for long periods of time?
[06:50] <DShepherd> noobie0051, or did you know that already :-)
[06:50] <emeriste> When a bittorrent is really healthy it has many seeders (people who have the whole file) and you can download things very quickly since youre getting little bits from many sources all at once.
[06:50] <Cod1> How do I kill programs that are running under wine??
[06:50] <lockd> bobsumbody: the client will tell you how many seeds and peers
[06:50] <emeriste> Oh I don't understand it at that level.
[06:50] <TheCheese> palintheus I'm going to go do it now.  I will let you know how it goes.
[06:50] <noobie0051> Dshepherd: I know it,, I'm new to linux but getting there
[06:50] <TheCheese> palintheus thanks for the help
[06:50] <lockd> you do not likely want to use a torrent with no seeds, you may get 75% and never get any further
[06:50] <palintheus> TheCheese: good luck, np
[06:51] <emeriste> What I'm telling you here is a sketch and it is provisional. It is my best current understanding.
[06:51] <DShepherd> noobie0051, I am new it too
[06:51] <lockd> Cod1: kill wine itself
[06:51] <bobsumbody> lockd, i am trying to download a soundtrack file says 4 seeders
[06:51] <pawan> can we install google earth on ubuntu
[06:51] <lockd> Cod1: that is a reason why I had wine as another user.. i can just slay it if it gets out of hand
[06:51] <Cod1> lockd: I did killall wineserver but the programs are still running
[06:51] <ferronica> what command to open etc/fstab?
[06:51] <bobsumbody> pawan, yeah, wine if you must
[06:52] <bobsumbody> :)
[06:52] <emeriste> It's good if you use a bittorent client, to leave the file in your queue after you have finished downloading it so that you can seed for others. That helps keep a torrent healthy.
[06:52] <pawan> ok
[06:52] <Cod1> and the programs are stuck lockd
[06:52] <lumgwada> hi all, does both gnome and gnome failsafe use the same /etc/X11/xorg.conf for some reason after a dist upgrade my screens have flipped on my regular session but not in failsafe....
[06:52] <jpowermacg4> i'm running ubuntu-server and was wondering how i can install desktop on here.. but make it so that X doesn't start by default?
[06:52] <emeriste> You will see a share ratio which is how many times you have given for everyone one you have taken.
[06:52] <bobsumbody> emeriste, yes i think my main trouble is the firewall
[06:52] <lockd> Cod1: ps aux|grep wine
[06:52] <lockd> Cod1: then kill the pids, probably have to kill -9 them
[06:52] <bobsumbody> i am behind a linux server over wireless via second router
[06:52] <Cod1> didn't effect the programs
[06:52] <emeriste> Okay for the firewall you should go to firestarter and make sure you have set your inbound settings to alow bittorents.
[06:53] <bobsumbody> emeriste, i use iptables to handle it all by hand with a custom shell script at the server
[06:53] <bobgill> What can I use to edit a .mp3? I want to cut like 10 seconds off the front and some off the end
[06:53] <bayziders> How do you use hfsplus?
[06:53] <defcon> what is the cheapist and best 3d video card that will work with ubuntu
[06:53] <emeriste> Well then I think you know more about all these things than I do.
[06:53] <bobsumbody> hi bobgill
[06:53] <noobie0051> DShepherd: ok it's at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33010
[06:53] <emeriste> I've only used Linux for 2 weeks now.
[06:53] <lumgwada> sorry in the above question I was referring to a dual screen setup if it doesn't make sense...
[06:54] <lockd> bobsumbody: mencoder or one of its front ends
[06:54] <bobsumbody> bobgil, i dont know you, but people always refer to me as you
[06:54] <bobgill> hehe
[06:54] <jpowermacg4> Queso.. might be outta luck there.. can try alternate CD or debian.
[06:54] <jpowermacg4> oops
[06:54] <bobsumbody> emeriste, keep my name hand and see if im around if you should need help at all
[06:55] <emeriste> bob - Sounds great. I'll keep that in mind.
[06:55] <bobsumbody> emeriste, i am about 2-3 months on ubuntu, got 2 servers and 3 desktops running
[06:55] <bobsumbody> only crashed one server along the way, bad chmod command
[06:55] <bobsumbody> missed the backspace and ran "sudo chmod 777 /*"
[06:55] <bobsumbody> I was like omfg NO stop!!!!
[06:56] <bangers> is there a howto to run Sun Java (1.4 or 5) on Feisty?
[06:56] <bobsumbody> lockd, mencoder? never heard of it, is it torrent or firewall utility?
[06:56] <bangers> I followed a couple howto's, but i keep getting "cannot find libjava.so"
[06:56] <emeriste> Well goodnight everyone. Well done to all of you who are so generous and patient with everyone.
[06:57] <lockd> bobsumbody: A/V encoding utility
[06:57] <Frogzoo> !java | bangers
[06:57] <ubotu> bangers: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[06:57] <DShepherd> noobie0051, your disks are huge!
[06:58] <bobsumbody> lockd, im missing how it applies to solving my issue

[07:02] <bayziders> How do you use hfsplus(about the 16th time I've asked this)
[07:02] <DShepherd> noobie0051, i hope a full desk was your problem.. but if it wasnt.. we are here to help
[07:02] <lockd> bobsumbody: assuming you have a router with NAT
[07:02] <T-Connect> I like Utorrent better.
[07:02] <bobsumbody> lockd, no, modem to server to router to wifi to laptop
[07:03] <bobsumbody> lockd, i masq through a nix server
[07:03] <lockd> T-Connect: ktorrent!
[07:03] <bobsumbody> WindsofTime, read up on resizing partitions
[07:03] <T-Connect> How come joy2key menu don't come up?
[07:03] <lockd> bobsumbody: oh, so all you should have to do is set up the server's firewall - I think
[07:04] <bobsumbody> yeah, i cant seem to find the port sequence
[07:04] <lockd> bobsumbody: you can't find the port your client is using?
[07:04] <bobsumbody> lockd, i log the firewall really heavy, level 7 on unknown input
[07:04] <sexcopte1> can someone please remind me of the name of the python guide that comes (or at least used to come) with ubuntu?
[07:05] <bobsumbody> even with the ports open that are new network traffic i still get nothing
[07:05] <bobsumbody> probably that damn belkin router
[07:05] <guix> divinh into python
[07:05] <alecwh> For some reason, when I click the power button (or the GNOME power icon), and the screen pops up where you select what you want to do, I don't have a SHUT DOWN option. Only Suspend and Hibernate. What can I do to get the Power button back up there? I've had to just hold down the power button lately...
[07:05] <lockd> bobsumbody: do a port check on something like whatsmyip.com/ports
[07:05] <guix> diving into python
[07:05] <sexcopte1> oh, just found it, thanks guix
[07:05] <bobsumbody> but it was cool that belkin gave me a fukken FREE new .11g router for nothing
[07:05] <shriphani> how do i set ~/calendar as the CALENDAR_DIR environment variable.
[07:06] <bobsumbody> lockd, yeah i know that guy @ whatsmyip.org, he's got good toolz
[07:06] <bobsumbody> alright guys, I have a T and H variable that needs some C++, laters

[07:15] <nextse7en> Hi folks, what is the command in terminal to format the slave drive on  the primaty ide controller in FAT format?
[07:15] <DeusEvo> When I log into Ubuntu I get a beige screen and it stops there.  The cursor still responds to mouse input, but that's all that I see. Would someone have an idea why this is happening?
[07:15] <nextse7en> running xubuntu
[07:16] <T-Connect> ktorrent doesn't uses ports?
[07:16] <alecwh> !vcn
[07:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vcn - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:16] <alecwh> !vnc
[07:16] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[07:16] <nextse7en> Hi folks, what is the command in terminal to format the slave drive on  the primaty ide controller in FAT format?
[07:16] <T-Connect> Oh never mind.
[07:16] <alecwh> !FreeNX > alecwh
[07:16] <[11Touche] > T-Connect: Isn't there a port setting in the preferences ?
[07:16] <T-Connect> Found it.
[07:17] <T-Connect> I found it.
[07:17] <[11Touche] > k
[07:17] <Flannel> nextse7en: that'd be hdb[partition number]
[07:17] <nextse7en> Right, but to format it FAT?
[07:17] <wuxiaoquan> that's ok now
[07:18] <rhinosaur665> nextse7en: mkfs.vfat
[07:18] <T-Connect> My ports are 8881 TCP and 8999 UDP.
[07:18] <T-Connect> =D
[07:18] <DeusEvo> no one has a solution for my dead login??
[07:19] <nextse7en> so, rhinosaur665: format /dev/hdb1 mkfs.vfat?
[07:19] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: did you try to set an another window manager at the login screen ?
[07:20] <rhinosaur665> nextse7en: mkfs.vfat /dev/hdb1
[07:20] <vb> how can i view h.264 encoded video on vlc ?

[07:20] <rhinosaur665> nextse7en: np :D
[07:21] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : can you please elaborate?  this is my first time using Linux
[07:21] <DeusEvo> I can log in using Failsafe Terminal mode
[07:21] <bullgard4> /proc/acpi/embedded_controller/EC0/info lists 'gpe: 0x17'. What does gpe mean? GPE Palmtop Environment?
[07:21] <zyth> bullgard4, general protection error, most likely.

[07:22] <zyth> bullgard4, np

[07:24] <JKirk_> I installed the nvidia driver manually and it works fine when I start with startx from the prompt.  But when I reboot X dies on me and won't work.  I did an lsmod and the ONLY difference before and after is that in the non-working one there is an nvidia driver running...
[07:24] <JKirk_> the manual install of the nvidia doesn't have the nvidia listing in lsmod
[07:25] <JKirk_> is there some way to take that out of the boot up?
[07:25] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: did you install Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Xbuntu ?
[07:25] <JKirk_> me? ubuntu
[07:25] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Ubuntu 7.10
[07:25] <nextse7en> Hi there, one more question, how do I find out where a hard drive is if it is unformatted or unpartitioned? Id there a way to query for all hard drives attached tot eh system?
[07:25] <JKirk_> ubuntu ultimate 1.4
[07:25] <DeusEvo> 7.04 didn't have the correct graphics chip drivers
[07:26] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: hmm...
[07:26] <JKirk_> oh :(  was hoping you were helping me ...
[07:26] <JKirk_> can anyone help me?
[07:26] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: and you've never been able to get into Gnome ?
[07:26] <DeusEvo> I'm using Intel GMA965 X3100 as the chip... and Failsafe GNOME worked at first, but I changed xorg.conf a bit
[07:27] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: and what did you change in it ?
[07:27] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Added new screen resolutions and something to remove TV output
[07:28] <[11Touche] > ok..
[07:28] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : the other thing I did was uncheck some of the boxes in the "startup scripts" dialog
[07:28] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: and when you say you have mouse input, does it mean that by right-clicking on the desktop you have a context menu ?
[07:29] <vb> how to view apple's new imac keynote on feisty?
[07:29] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Right click does not open up a shell context menu
[07:29] <bullgard4> zyth: What might be the function or purpose of having an entry 'general protection error: 0x17' in /proc/acpi/embedded_controller/EC0/info?
[07:30] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : but I can move the cursor around
[07:31] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: okay.. seems like you killed the window manager somewhere..
[07:31] <DeusEvo> Hm, I followed the tutorial here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_%28Gutsy_Gibbon%29_Tribe_3_on_a_ThinkPad_T61
[07:31] <DeusEvo> Now I noticed that it said "2) Use the Alternative Installer, the Desktop installer installs but fails to boot"
[07:31] <DeusEvo> I can't think why that would matter, though.  The installation itself went pretty well.
[07:32] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: hmm...
[07:32] <Mouse> hello Everyone
[07:33] <[11Touche] > okay then try to get back to a TTY (ctrl+alt+F1) and then log in, and type /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:33] <vb> can any1 help me with mpeg4 ?
[07:34] <rapflap> I got to major problems, first is that when my computer has been off, it freezes on boot halfway on the bar at splash screen, normaly it goes after restarting 2-3 times, other is my network/internet, it sometimes stops working and i have to reboot the computer in order to get back on.. any help appriciated..
[07:34] <Mouse> can someone help me with a video card problem
[07:34] <guix> I installed google earth but when i run it, it logs me out
[07:35] <Ayabara> some odd problems with my top panel. the icons that used to be placed in the top right corner (pidgin, system restart notifier ++) won't pop up there anymore. Instead they are created like own little windows.
[07:35] <Ayabara> how can I fix?
[07:35] <[11Touche] > rapflap: I got similar problems when my RAM busted.. but can't really help
[07:35] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Ctrl+alt+F1 gives me an unresponsive black screen
[07:36] <rapflap> how do i check my ram, i do have an error on bootup something with memory and a range
[07:36] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Should I try booting Ubuntu in Recovery mode?
[07:36] <wehttamb> i just installed xubuntu-desktop and now amsn has no window decorations and i cant move its windows or anything
[07:36] <wehttamb> everything else is working fine
[07:36] <dgeorge> hello all...
[07:36] <Mouse> my moniter will randomly turn off and stay off and the onyl way to turn it back on is to restart my machine any advice?
[07:36] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: hmmm.. looks like your graphic chip really doesnt like linux much
[07:36] <guix> I got a problem with google earth, I installed it but when I run the program it just logs me out from my gnome session
[07:37] <Ayabara> alternative question, how can I reset my desktop. that is, make the top and bottom panels appear as they did right after I installed ubuntu.
[07:37] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : No, it doesn't I'm afraid
[07:37] <rapflap> 08-08-2007 06:16:22	ashley	kernel	[    1.286392]  PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:20000@e0000000 for 0000:01:00.0
[07:37] <wehttamb> i just installed xubuntu-desktop and now amsn has no window decorations and i cant move its windows or anything
[07:37] <rapflap> is this something i should worry about pherhaps ?
[07:37] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: Can you try another tty? let's say ctrl+atl+f2 to f6
[07:38] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : And each time I should log in to GNOME?  (or would failsafe gnome be better?)
[07:38] <dgeorge> as a new linux user what are some things I should work on or have installed
[07:38] <Todd> Is there a problem with Ubuntu Server 7.04?
[07:38] <Nunzio> How can i configure samba to work with windows and linux with users have to login to access folders?
[07:38] <[11Touche] > rapflap: well well.. really looks like the problem I had... a failing RAM can't sometimes read/write on some sections of the memory, and then that's the kind of output you get
[07:39] <Todd> I downloaded the ISO, and am installing onto a VBox machine, with XP as the host.
[07:39] <T-Connect> lockd I found my torrents.
[07:39] <Ayabara> anyone? which folders do I need to delete to get the original panel layout on my desktop?
[07:39] <Todd> I can complete the install, but on reboot I can't boot.
[07:39] <T-Connect> Moving stuff over onto Ubuntu.
[07:39] <lockd> anyone know why nxclient says GPL edition, even though it is closed source (afaict)
[07:39] <rapflap> and is that just problem for boot, or could it explain my net problems ?
[07:40] <CheeseGardener> Could someone help me with making a hard drive a primary master drive????
[07:41] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Ctrl+Alt+F# only gives me a blank screen, except in the case of F7, where I get a mouse pointer I can move.
[07:41] <[11Touche] > rapflap: it could explain your net problems, since your ethernet card may be writing on the faulty section of your RAM
[07:41] <Nattgew> CheeseGardener: do you mean hardware-wise?
[07:41] <CheeseGardener> Yes.
[07:41] <CheeseGardener> I just need a little bit of help
[07:42] <CheeseGardener> can I IM you quick?
[07:42] <[11Touche] > rapflap: so I would run a RAM test to see if it has anything wrong in it
[07:42] <Nattgew> why?
[07:42] <Todd> exit
[07:42] <CheeseGardener> Well here is my issue.  I took the hard drive pin cover, and put it onto the other hard drive, on the same pin number.
[07:43] <CheeseGardener> and now it says I have a "secondary" master drive.
[07:43] <CheeseGardener> not a "primary"
[07:43] <CheeseGardener> I need a "primary" master I think.  Cause ubuntu is having issues.
[07:43] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: okay.. I'm not a Linux expert... so I don't know how to bring a console when you can't even get to a TTY or a window manager...
[07:43] <Nattgew> well what I think it's talking about is two IDE cables... a primary and secondary
[07:43] <rapflap> is there any program you would recommend for testing my ram, not sure what ubuntu got installed
[07:44] <CheeseGardener> I see, so I should switch the cables?
[07:44] <T-Connect> I have my Ubuntu on slave hard drive and XP on master hard drive.
[07:44] <Nattgew> yes, that should do it
[07:44] <guix> ok how many hard drives do you have>
[07:44] <CheeseGardener> Ok, I'll move the hard drives, possition wise.
[07:44] <[11Touche] > rapflap: as I just said to Deus, I'm not an expert.. and I didn't check my ramon linux
[07:44] <CheeseGardener> Does ubuntu need a primary master drive to run the live CD?
[07:45] <guix> nop
[07:45] <Nattgew> rapflap: ubuntu has memtest86, you can boot to it as you would a different kernel
[07:45] <T-Connect> Funny thing is that I have my slave on boot setting.
[07:45] <guix> you just need ram
[07:45] <[11Touche] > Nattgew: thanks for the support ;)
[07:45] <rapflap> Nattgew: ok ill try that
[07:45] <jonathan8di> Hi!  What is the purpose of the /proc/ folder?
[07:45] <guix> and a CD/DVD drive
[07:45] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Well, I logged in using a Terminal session, entered the command to restart the gdm, and now it's back to a black screen :/
[07:45] <T-Connect> It will pick my Ubuntu and XP boot.
[07:45] <DeusEvo> At least it's not blue
[07:46] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: damn.. and when you started in safe mode, did you get a WM ?
[07:47] <Nunzio> Anyone help me with my samba problem?
[07:47] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: can you pastebin your xorg.conf ?
[07:47] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : failsafe GNOME: worked at first, I changed my xorg.conf a bit, unchecked some startup scripts, and now it doesn't work (hangs at beige screen); failsafe terminal: I get  beige screen with a white box where I can type commands

[07:50] <[11Touche] > IRC: np
[07:50] <dgeorge> winamp is what i  used in windows

[07:50] <Nattgew> rhythmbox
[07:50] <jonathan8di> VLC is a media player.  Plays MP3s and every other format of audio and/or video
[07:51] <[11Touche] > But vlc is much more powerful
[07:51] <dgeorge> what do i need to install for xmms
[07:51] <guix> XMMS looks like WINAMP
[07:51] <guix> Go SYSTEM
[07:51] <guix> then
[07:51] <Rprp> Does someone know how i can add subtitles to a movie?
[07:51] <guix> ADMINISTRATION
[07:51] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/d1ed59628
[07:51] <guix> then run SYNAPTIC
[07:51] <dgeorge> doing that now
[07:51] <guix> then SEARCH
[07:52] <guix> write down XMMS
[07:52] <guix> check for install
[07:52] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: I'll go get a look..
[07:52] <guix> apply
[07:52] <jonathan8di> So the proc gives the user a way to view the current state of the kernal...very cool
[07:52] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Thanks for all the help...
[07:52] <CheeseGardener> when I go to install ubuntu I get a message that says "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off"
[07:53] <CheeseGardener> Does anyone know what this means?
[07:53] <DeusEvo> CheeseGardener: Yep, I had that problem myself
[07:53] <CheeseGardener> what does it mean?
[07:53] <Paradox34690> hey, if I want to make a shortcut to an app that isn't in my launcher or anything, and it requires a 'sudo' through terminal, what do I do?
[07:53] <dgeorge> ok i have it installed now...
[07:53] <dgeorge> how do i change the skin of xmms
[07:53] <aaron> hi
[07:53] <CheeseGardener> DeusEvo, do you know how to fix it?
[07:53] <DeusEvo> CheeseGardener: for me, it was because my SATA drives were set to AHCI mode... in the BIOS I had to change it to Compatibility mode
[07:54] <Nattgew> Paradox34690: use gksudo or gksu
[07:54] <CheeseGardener> How do I change my secondary master, to a primary master drive?
[07:54] <guix> dgeorge>click in the left upper corner of the player
[07:54] <Nattgew> CheeseGardener: like I said, there are probably two IDE cables attached to the mb... one is primary, one is secondary
[07:55] <dgeorge> right I know where to load them , but there isn't any in the skin browser
[07:55] <dgeorge> where do i download skins for xmms
[07:55] <guix> go to a web browser
[07:55] <Paradox34690> Nattgew: nice, thanks. Now, um... is there a way to have it not ask me for a password, or am I basically out of luck because it's still a sudo command?
[07:55] <guix> then GOOGLE
[07:55] <guix> and SEARCH!
[07:55] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: can you type lspci in a console and tell me if your graphis card is really at 02:00:0 ?
[07:56] <aaron> anyone can help me with an aplication that i need?
[07:56] <Paradox34690> dgeorge: go check out www.gnome-look.org
[07:56] <T-Connect> Paradox - Hacker! (Just kidding.)
[07:56] <Nattgew> Paradox34690: yes, there is, add it to /etc/sudoers
[07:56] <aaron> its name is Clipper, is a basic aplication to program
[07:57] <Paradox34690> Oh god no... I'm just getting into linux...
[07:57] <Nattgew> it's really simple
[07:57] <Paradox34690> Nattgew: Thanks, i appreciate the pointer.
[07:58] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: so ?
[07:58] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : I can't see all the console output (top is cut off) but I can see from 00:1c.1 too 15:00.1, and assuming that they go in numerical order, there is no 02:00.0
[07:58] <T-Connect> Be sure take notes and stick those notes onto a floppy.
[07:58] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: lspci | grep intel
[07:59] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Again, cut off, but I can see from 00:1b.0 to 00:1f.3
[07:59] <DeusEvo> what should I be looking for?
[08:00] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: ctrl+pageUp usually goes up
[08:00] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: or shift+pageUp...
[08:00] <Paradox34690> Nattgew: What is the man file that sudoers is referring to?
[08:00] <File13> join #ubuntu-dallas
[08:01] <howlingmadhowie> did anyone else's computer perform a "distribution upgrade" today?
[08:01] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : there it is!
[08:01] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Intel Corporation Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller at 00:02.1
[08:01] <JKirk_> help... can anyone help me to unload drivers that seem to be loading at boot?
[08:01] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: okay
[08:02] <ssrajan> hi all have a weird problem, not sure if its ubuntu related, but for some strange reason, my computer doesnt boot from my hard disk...i have to select "Boot from first hard drive" in the livecd menu to boot into the box..
[08:02] <rhinosaur665> Paradox34690: /etc/sudoers
[08:02] <g-unot> hello, i ve rescently installed ubuntu 7.04 and gcc is missing all of its header files, i tried reinstalling and still nothing
[08:02] <Nattgew> Paradox34690: man sudoers, but if you just add your program like programname ALL=(ALL) ALL like the one above it, that should work
[08:02] <howlingmadhowie> JKirk_: find out which driver it is and add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist :)
[08:03] <howlingmadhowie> g-unot: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[08:03] <g-unot> ty
[08:03] <JKirk_> k... if I do a modprobe -r nvidia at the prompt that removes it and everything works... so I should add nvidia to the blacklist?
[08:03] <Paradox34690> Nattgew: Okay, i think i understand ya... lemme give it a shot. Does this kind of a change require a reboot or relogin?
[08:04] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: comment ( with a # at the beginning of the line ) the following line of your xorg.conf: Option  "monitor-TV"   "TVOutput"
[08:04] <g-unot> does ubuntu support belkin drivers?
[08:04] <g-unot> for wifi cards
[08:05] <Nattgew> Paradox34690: nope
[08:05] <Paradox34690> Nattgew: thanks, you rock.
[08:05] <howlingmadhowie> JKirk_: oh, it's a video driver. if xorg.conf wants to see nvidia loaded, it will probably get loaded. so i'd make sure to replace nvidia with another driver in xorg.conf
[08:05] <aubade> It's hit and miss, g-unot. Any particular card?
[08:06] <g-unot> hmm
[08:06] <g-unot> i cant really tell u
[08:07] <File13> as a new user is it safe to be enabling extra repositories?
[08:07] <xstasi> no
[08:07] <g-unot> do u know how i would go about testing to see if i cold get it to work?
[08:08] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: when It's done and saved, do ctrl+alt+Backspace
[08:08] <File13> well is it safe to add the mediabuntu repositories for installing codecs and stuff etc
[08:08] <xstasi> File13, i guess so
[08:08] <Nattgew> g-unot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBelkin
[08:08] <g-unot> ty
[08:09] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Oops, I entered shutdown -r 0 before I could do that
[08:09] <dgeorge> where has linux been all my life
[08:09] <dgeorge> im really loving this
[08:09] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: it's okay
[08:09] <g-unot> grr, i have no clue wut version i have
[08:09] <g-unot> lol
[08:09] <xstasi> dgeorge, it was in my and my friends' computers, being developed
[08:09] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: just takes longer, since Ctrl+Alt+Backspace restarts X server only
[08:09] <xstasi> and tested and stuff
[08:09] <pihlaja> Hmm. My network suddenly stopped working yesterday, and I didn't do anything? I'm on Feisty. There are error messages in the /var/log/daemon.log about dbus, avahi and network manager. According to synaptic's history the last updated package was tcpdump, and dbus is scheduled for updating... But I can't update without the network working. What can I do?
[08:10] <aaron> hi
[08:10] <xstasi> pihlaja, you should setup the net by hand
[08:10] <aaron> any can help me ?
[08:10] <xstasi> !ask
[08:10] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:10] <aaron> :p
[08:11] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : I can see the effects (the login screen is smaller) but failsafe gnome does not work
[08:11] <fraser> hi, i installed azureus from source, and some of the bloody words are in english and some are in like arabic or something
[08:11] <aubade> Suppose you could just see if it works w/ a live disc, and if not you could at least get the name of the device and/or chipset through lspci or whatever hardware information tool Ubuntu has. :V
[08:11] <aaron> is a variable for linux of CLIPPER?
[08:11] <xstasi> fraser, that's bad
[08:11] <g-unot> i believe i have this driver
[08:11] <g-unot> F5D7000
[08:11] <pihlaja> xstasi, How do I do that. Can I somehow get the settings from this Mac? And do I just do it from the Network settings thing?
[08:11] <xstasi> aaragon, variable? clipper?
[08:11] <g-unot> how do i install that?
[08:11] <fraser> xstasi, yes, i is quite confusing
[08:11] <xstasi> pihlaja, sure
[08:11] <g-unot> card i mean*
[08:11] <howlingmadhowie> oh btw. i'm offering a bounty of (well i'll have to think of something to fill up the gap here) to the first person to find the newly announced ubuntu-models from dell on the french, english or german websites (see http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2007/08/07/23816.aspx )
[08:11] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: and a normal boot would do what ?
[08:12] <xstasi> pihlaja, fetch the "apt-zip" package and install it on ubuntu
[08:12] <aaron> to compile in clipper
[08:12] <xstasi> pihlaja, it generates a shell script to download required packages
[08:12] <xstasi> :)
[08:12] <File13> on the ubuntu wiki it has different ways of installing flash, but you can simply add flash via firefox if you install it via firefox, is that the same?
[08:12] <g-unot> how do i instal the ndsiwrapper?
[08:12] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: OR, can you now go on a ttY with ctrl alt f1 ?
[08:12] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : If the line was uncommented, then the login screen would fill my monitor.  Right now it is smaller and sits in the corner
[08:12] <xstasi> File13, not exactly, but assume it is
[08:13] <HelpMe> Hey guys and gals.  How do I remove wolfestiene enemy territory?  I try to delete  the file but it says I dont have the right permission
[08:13] <File13> well this is my 5th install so im wanting to do everything right
[08:13] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Nothing but a black screen for Ctrl+Alt_F1
[08:13] <xstasi> HelpMe, look for the directory where you installed it, tipically /usr/local/games/something
[08:13] <[11Touche] > ok.. still the same problem..
[08:13] <xstasi> there should be an uninstall script
[08:14] <emeriste> Although we use Ubuntu we are still exposed to spyware. Is that fair to say?
[08:14] <HelpMe> xstasi:   Yes, i know, i found it but when i try to deleat it, it wont deleat because It says i dont have the right permissions
[08:14] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : I'm thinking that it has to do with the startup scripts
[08:14] <T-Connect> Ubuntu have spyware and viruses? Hmmm... don't want to know.
[08:15] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : Is there a way to disable those from the terminal?
[08:15] <pihlaja> xstasi, Well, I don't fully understand what does that apt-zip do then?
[08:15] <emeriste> There are no viruses to worry about with Ubuntu.
[08:15] <gluttony> i am in need of sound help with a sound issue on my computer. it worked when i first installed ubuntu, but it has, since then, stopped working.
[08:15] <emeriste> There are no active Linux viruses and compared to Windows there have practically never been any.
[08:15] <HelpMe> T-Connect:   Nope, no spyware or viruses here :)
[08:15] <T-Connect> Good. I hope there aren't any.
[08:16] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: unfortunately, I really don't know...
[08:16] <faileas> emeriste: its relatively safer but the number one way of not getting viruses is to use your head ;)
[08:16] <emeriste> But anyone who surfs the web with a browser could get some spyware, I think. in the form of cookies.
[08:16] <rhinosaur665> HelpMe: if you want to delete a file that you do not have permissions for, use `sudo rm <filename>`
[08:16] <faileas> emeriste: so.. clear out your cookies
[08:16] <faileas> cookies as spyware is not very... convincing
[08:16] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: I had a lot of problems with my graphics card (and on many distros) so iI tought I could help, but it seems it's out of my knowledge ...
[08:16] <T-Connect> I set up firefox to delete cookies and stuff.
[08:17] <[11Touche] > (AND I'm not usually speaking english so.. excuse me for my poor syntax)
[08:17] <[11Touche] > lol
[08:17] <T-Connect> XD
[08:17] <emeriste> Well I was just visiting a site and I found this Ehg-aha.hitbox
[08:17] <DeusEvo> [11Touche] : your English is very good, and thanks for trying to help, Ubuntu seems to have a very good community
[08:17] <CheeseGardener> what types of drives are there? SATA and SCSI right?
[08:17] <T-Connect> I'm part white so my english isn't good.
[08:18] <HelpMe> I just added a mod to enemy territory that lets me add bots but now when i try to enable the mod, it exits off the game.  How do i fix this?
[08:18] <emeriste> Which looked odd to me so I googled it. It turns out that's malware. A cookie that shares with another site and together they can track your browser history.
[08:18] <[11Touche] > DeusEvo: hope you'll be able to get help as soon as possible !!
[08:18] <T-Connect> It would be nice if Ubuntu have it own internet program.
[08:18] <faileas> CheeseGardener: currently yeah, but there's lots of types of scsi
[08:18] <howlingmadhowie> no one's found them yet? me neither...
[08:18] <whoatheremissour> does nayone know what freenet is?
[08:18] <gluttony> has anyone had sound problems after using ndiswrapper?
[08:19] <[11Touche] > but you also should try to look on the web to find some answers about the init scripts
[08:19] <faileas> T-Connect: "internet programme" ?
[08:19] <T-Connect> Like firefox.
[08:19] <T-Connect> But more cleaner.
[08:19] <faileas> like...
[08:19] <HelpMe> Cleaner
[08:19] <faileas> konqerer (sp) on KDE?
[08:19] <[11Touche] > it looks like your X don't even try to start your gdm .. and when it does, goes black
[08:19] <HelpMe> But cleaner
[08:19] <faileas> "cleaner" how?
[08:20] <Nattgew> g-unot: apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[08:20] <faileas> maybe the one OLPC uses?
[08:20] <HelpMe> firefox is clean
[08:20] <faileas> totally clean... not even a URL bar ;p
[08:20] <HelpMe> You dont need anything better for linux
[08:20] <T-Connect> Ok I guest so.
[08:20] <g-unot> Nattgew and if my wifi card werks with this it will werk?
[08:20] <HelpMe> I just added a mod to enemy territory that lets me add bots but now when i try to enable the mod, it exits off the game.  How do i fix this?  :o
[08:21] <fraser> hi, i installed azureus from source, and some of the bloody words are in english and some are in like arabic or something. i don't know what to do. i have tried restarting azureus a couple of time, but to no avail
[08:21] <[11Touche] > Well, good night folks !! School tomorrow..
[08:21] <Gimm1eDat> hey boys an girls.. i got feisty fawn running in a VM.. vmware 6.. im having a little difficulty finding documentation on how to install the VMware tools.. anyone had any luck with this?
[08:21] <MasterShrek> fraser, why did you build from source?
[08:21] <MasterShrek> apt-get it
[08:21] <T-Connect> Azureus is bad because it won't take Java32.
[08:21] <MasterShrek> true that
[08:21] <fraser> MasterShrek, because when i installed it from the repos it gave me a java error 25 seconds after starting up and just shut down
[08:22] <corevette_> i have use the alternative ubuntu install twice, and every time it's done after restart it says disk boot failure
[08:22] <MasterShrek> fraser, there are better torrent clients
[08:22] <gluttony> or does anyone have experience with hp laptops and ubuntu
[08:22] <Gimm1eDat> master, you talking to me about the apt get ?
[08:22] <fraser> MasterShrek, like?
[08:22] <Flannel> !anyone | gluttony
[08:22] <ubotu> gluttony: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:22] <Gimm1eDat> utorrent is the best ive used
[08:22] <MasterShrek> no Gimm1eDat didnt hear what u were talkin about
[08:22] <faileas> Gimm1eDat: as i understand, vmware tools will be seen as a cd by the guest, probably has a shell script it needs to run
[08:22] <Gimm1eDat> oh no problem
[08:22] <fraser> MasterShrek, tried bittornado (not very good), rtorrent ( got terribly slow speeds)
[08:22] <MasterShrek> fraser, ktorrent is good, i use transmission
[08:22] <faileas> Gimm1eDat: utorrent runs on wine ;)
[08:23] <faileas> apparently
[08:23] <MasterShrek> that too
[08:23] <DeusEvo> uTorrent is excellent
[08:23] <fraser> MasterShrek, is ktorrent K for KDE?
[08:23] <MasterShrek> yep
[08:23] <Gimm1eDat> utorrent is prob the easyest and fastest one ive used
[08:23] <T-Connect> KTorrent is faster than uTorrent. =D
[08:23] <gluttony> Flannel, i rephrased my question because no one answered it
[08:23] <MasterShrek> transmission gives me good speeds, no complaints
[08:23] <corevette_> i vote ktorrent
[08:23] <Gimm1eDat> i run pretty freaking well on wine too.. better on whiskey.. better on "im-getting-chased-by-the-police"
[08:23] <T-Connect> Me too.
[08:23] <MasterShrek> yea me too if you are using kde
[08:23] <Gimm1eDat> i find that last one makes me run damn quick
[08:23] <HelpMe> I just downloaded enemy-territory and want to remove it now, but when i try to deleat it, it says i dont have the right permissions.  how do i deleat it?
[08:23] <fraser> MasterShrek, is transmission in the repos?
[08:23] <MasterShrek> sudo
[08:24] <MasterShrek> !sudo | HelpMe
[08:24] <ubotu> HelpMe: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:24] <HelpMe> MasterShrek:    Yes, i know, but how?
[08:24] <gluttony> ok, to make you happy. my sound recently stopped working, around the time i got my wireless card to work. to get it working, i used ndiswrapper. i am using a hp laptop
[08:24] <Gimm1eDat> yea.. ive read many a walkthru on how to install the tools
[08:25] <faileas> !compiz-fusion
[08:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about compiz-fusion - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:25] <faileas> !compiz
[08:25] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[08:25] <T-Connect> I never download and install games into Filesystem area. Only the ones that Ubuntu have listes.
[08:25] <T-Connect> list.
[08:25] <MasterShrek> fraser, i got it in some other repo, not a normal ubuntu
[08:25] <chased> how can i tell what version an installed package is?
[08:25] <Nunzio> lol samba just isnt working for me ;x
[08:25] <threethirty> hey all
[08:25] <fraser> MasterShrek, i might compile it
[08:26] <MasterShrek> HelpMe, open a terminal and type sudo rm [file]
[08:26] <Gimm1eDat> but ill be damned if a single one makes it past the sudo apt-get install build-essential
[08:26] <MasterShrek> make sure you konw what you are doing though
[08:26] <Nattgew> g-unot I can't tell you for sure but it should
[08:26] <threethirty>  what are the number for chown to let anyone read and write
[08:26] <MasterShrek> if you dont konw ask cuz u could mess up your os
[08:26] <HelpMe> master, but doint i also have to tell where the file is?
[08:26] <Nunzio> http://nunz.pastebin.com/d5a724abd Thats my smb.conf...am i doing anything wrong?
[08:27] <HelpMe> MasterShrek:  cannot remove `enemy-territory/': Is a directory
[08:27] <g-unot> ty
[08:27] <HelpMe>  is what is says when i try to do it
[08:27] <MasterShrek> oh HelpMe put a    -r    right after the rm
[08:27] <chased> how can i tell what version an installed package is?
[08:27] <fraser> threethirty, you want chmod 777
[08:27] <threethirty> ty
[08:27] <fraser> threethirty, chown changes the 'owner' of the file
[08:27] <g-unot> nattgew do i have to install a driver at all though?
[08:27] <File13> how do i delete this example folder
[08:27] <File13> its locked
[08:28] <Nattgew> g-unot: yes, you install it through ndiswrapper
[08:28] <chased> File13: you must be the owner
[08:28] <g-unot> grr
[08:28] <g-unot> okay
[08:28] <g-unot> ty
[08:28] <g-unot> wait
[08:28] <MasterShrek> Nunzio, i always had to run   smbpasswd -a [username]      as root and set a password, thats how i got it to work
[08:28] <g-unot> its an .exe though
[08:28] <gluttony> my sound recently stopped working, around the time i got my wireless card to work. to get it working, i used ndiswrapper. i am using a hp laptop. the sound card is a Conexant CX20549 (Venice)
[08:29] <File13> ok well the owner is root so youd have to delete it with a sudo command would you not
[08:29] <File13> gluttony did you try rebooting the laptop and is your laptop dual booted?
[08:29] <Nattgew> g-unot: you're looking for a .inf and a .sys
[08:29] <threethirty> fraser: i haven't had to do this in a while, i think im missing something, I have a a usb hdd that wont let me write to it (its brand new)
[08:29] <MasterShrek> HelpMe, the  -r  make the command do a 'recursive' delete, it will delete the directory you specify and all files in it
[08:30] <threethirty> fraser: i ran chmod 777 /media/SimpleDrive/ and its still read only
[08:30] <fraser> threethirty, what file system is it?
[08:31] <MasterShrek> threethirty, try -R after the chmod making it recursive
[08:31] <threethirty> i think fat32 let me check tho, i never thought bout that
[08:31] <jpowermacg4> how do you mount a CD on ubuntu?
[08:31] <MasterShrek> jpowermacg4, it should auto-mount
[08:31] <fraser> threethirty, if it's NTFS that's why, you'll need to reformat it. otherwise try -R
[08:31] <jpowermacg4> on ubuntu-server i mean
[08:31] <Nattgew> g-unot: specifically bcmwl5... you can get it off the internet, I'll see if I can find it for you...
[08:31] <ssrajan> hi having a small problem, i am not able to boot from my hard disk...although i can do so if i select "Boot from first hard disk" from the main menu, boot order is correct in BIOS and gets detected properly..having a SATA 250 GB
[08:31] <MasterShrek> mount /dev/cdrom
[08:32] <gluttony> Flannel, see, i rephrase the questions because no one ever answers
[08:32] <xukun> how can I change the permission of my usb hdu to read and write for everybody? it it "/dev/sdc1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev0"
[08:32] <jpowermacg4> oh crap

[08:34] <MasterShrek> JKirk_, put         /sbin/modprobe -i nvidia           at the top of the file /etc/init.d/gdm
[08:34] <Nattgew> rullie: what kind of card is it?
[08:35] <rullie> Nattgew, i'm not sure. It's an acer laptop, I suppose some kinda intel
[08:35] <rullie> Nattgew, it worked before
[08:35] <tunnuz> I have noticed that from Ubuntu 7.04 the "Administration -> Disks" widget is missing, how I can reload it?
[08:35] <MasterShrek> rullie, put the output of lspci -vv on pastebin
[08:35] <rullie> MasterShrek, a sec
[08:35] <MasterShrek> kk
[08:36] <gluttony> File13, yes, it is dual booted, and this laptop has been rebooted several time in the last 24 hours. it wasnt until around when my wireless was fixed that the sound went out
[08:36] <tunnuz> Is there a quick way to get it back?
[08:36] <Slart> tunnuz: I don't think you can.. it was removed for some reason I can't remember atm
[08:36] <T-Connect> What that? >>> Disks" widget
[08:36] <tunnuz> Argh! Ok :)
[08:36] <T-Connect> I don't see Disks" widget here.
[08:36] <terr1e1> test
[08:36] <threethirty> g'night all, back to bed i go
[08:37] <tunnuz> T-Connect, I mean, the System > Administration > Disks panel
[08:37] <CheeseGardener> does a primary master hard drive have to be placed before the possition of the slave primary, on the ribbon???
[08:37] <Nattgew> rullie: lspci doesn't list it at all?
[08:37] <Slart> CheeseGardener: nope
[08:37] <cyrenity> hi all
[08:37] <CheeseGardener> Ok, for some reason my Maxtor isn't being picked up.
[08:37] <T-Connect> Well I don't see that over here.
[08:37] <cyrenity> am having serious issues with printers
[08:37] <cyrenity> it was working yesterday
[08:37] <CheeseGardener> I don't have an extra jumper pin for it.
[08:37] <File13> i had that problem with mine gluttony, i could never find anyone who would help me solve it, i went to the point of buying a little USB audio card for here but have yet to try and configure it
[08:37] <cyrenity> all are hp1022 attatched with thinclients
[08:37] <Gimm1eDat> anyone had any luck getting vmware tools running in a VMware 6.0 feisty fawn install ?
[08:37] <cyrenity> what should i check
[08:38] <Slart> CheeseGardener: try setting it to cable select ?
[08:38] <cyrenity> any idea?
[08:38] <tunnuz> T-Connect, is missing since 7.04, but it was very useful.
[08:38] <CheeseGardener> cable select?
[08:38] <rullie> Nattgew, not at all
[08:38] <CheeseGardener> the maxtor?
[08:38] <tunnuz> Afk a moment.
[08:38] <sherlock> hello
[08:38] <CheeseGardener> Slart, set the maxtor to cable select?
[08:38] <CheeseGardener> how do I do that?
[08:38] <sherlock> i have a 64bit question
[08:38] <chased> im using gtk-theme-switch, but it doesnt have any themes listed. i thought i had many gtk themes... how do i install one to use?
[08:38] <Slart> CheeseGardener: yes..usually you can set hard drives to master/slave/cable select... cable select is some kind of auto thingy
[08:39] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, move the jumper on the back of the hard drive
[08:39] <sherlock> 64bit or 32bit install, which would u recommend?
[08:39] <Slart> CheeseGardener: try checking the harddrive for some kind of sticker with jumper settings
[08:39] <CheeseGardener> I don't have another jumper though Slart
[08:39] <T-Connect> I went to Main Menu and it not showing there ether.
[08:39] <MasterShrek> sherlock, 64
[08:39] <File13> would you guys recommend GAIM or Pidgin
[08:39] <MasterShrek> pidgin
[08:39] <MasterShrek> its updated gaim
[08:39] <xukun> anybody?
[08:39] <tracer903> Need help with: "Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5455 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device" on Ubuntu 7.04
[08:39] <MasterShrek> gaim cant be called gaim anymore
[08:39] <linux_user400354>  how can i force a certain resolution to be used when doing startx without modifying the xorg.conf?
[08:39] <Slart> sherlock: 32-bit if you're new to linux and want to be able to run flash and some other stuff with minimal hassle
[08:39] <File13> whats the easiest way to install it
[08:39] <CheeseGardener> Slart, MasterShrek, I don't have another jumper. I only have the one jumper.
[08:39] <File13> getdeb.net?
[08:40] <Nattgew> CheeseGardener: is there a way you could use just one jumper?
[08:40] <MasterShrek> i have a thousand CheeseGardener come over and get one lol
[08:40] <sherlock> Slart, thanks so what dosent work well in 64bit as a rule, u have any idea?
[08:40] <rullie> MasterShrek, http://rafb.net/p/71kDoe19.html
[08:40] <CheeseGardener> No, I think I may need another jumper to set it to cable select
[08:40] <gluttony> File13, alright. so you had you just stop? god, the only problems i ever really have are sound related. it sucks on my pc too
[08:40] <CheeseGardener> I'm out
[08:40] <MasterShrek> sherlock, flash, but you can set it up using nspluginwrapper, its relatively simple
[08:41] <Nattgew> CheeseGarderner: what's it set to with no jumpers on it?
[08:41] <T-Connect> Nattgew hard drive jumper?
[08:41] <CheeseGardener> I don't know.
[08:41] <CheeseGardener> I have to check
[08:41] <Slart> sherlock: well.. flash for one thing.. wine works nowdays... there are probably other small things.. you can usually get everything to work but it takes a little more work
[08:41] <CheeseGardener> I can't open the case now
[08:41] <CheeseGardener> maybe this is the problem:
[08:41] <CheeseGardener> it is booting from HDD-0.  HDD-0 is the first HDD on the ribbon, right?
[08:41] <Nattgew> it should be
[08:42] <sherlock> Slart, MasterShrek  - what about if i compile apts from source, should be fine there too?
[08:42] <File13> yeah the sound pissed me off to much trying to get it to work so i heard good things about a fairly cheap little USB sound card so i bought it today and im trying to figure out if itll work for me
[08:42] <linux_user400354>  how can i force a certain resolution to be used when doing startx without
[08:42] <CheeseGardener> ok, well HDD-0 is the slave
[08:42] <Slart> sherlock: yup.. that works.. if there is a deb available
[08:42] <CheeseGardener> Maybe if I boot from HDD-1, it will see both?
[08:43] <tracer903> Need help with: "Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5455 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device" on Ubuntu 7.04
[08:43] <MasterShrek> sherlock, i have yet to compile anything from source yet, everything i find is usually already released in a debian package

[09:12] <Norbert_Wiener> the skype audio-test work good
[09:13] <Norbert_Wiener> but i can ear all time my voice
[09:13] <T-Connect> How come this won't work? sudo apt-get install SDL SDL-devel
[09:13] <Norbert_Wiener> if i stop the mic the skype audio-test do not work good
[09:13] <tehk> T-Connect, what does it say?
[09:14] <T-Connect> Look for this. SDL: 1.2.10 or later on Unix and Mac, 1.2.11 or later on Win32.
[09:14] <MasterShrek> brb going to try this new compiz build...
[09:14] <T-Connect> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) and E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[09:14] <taime1> whats the extention for tarball?
[09:14] <aquesada> hola
[09:14] <tehk> T-Connect, are you using any other package manager?
[09:15] <T-Connect> Nope
[09:15] <neumind> wher i can find  soft for ubuntu? like for windows.. ?
[09:15] <tehk> T-Connect, well do a restart because that error means that something is accessing your pa ckage tools.
[09:15] <faileas> neumind: the internet
[09:15] <T-Connect> Oh wait.
[09:15] <T-Connect> Yea I have 1 open. It close now.
[09:16] <tehk> neumind, try the synaptic and add remove program. Also try out get-deb.com if you need somethng outside of the repos
[09:16] <tehk> T-Connect, ok try again :)
[09:16] <neumind> ok thanks
[09:16] <T-Connect> E: Couldn't find package SDL
[09:16] <dagadu> hii
[09:16] <T-Connect> XD
[09:17] <tehk> T-Connect, sure thats the name of the package? not sdl? lowecase? seach the repository at packages.ubuntu.com if you do not have synaptic on hand.
[09:17] <CheeseGardener> could someone help me set up a fresh install?  I have a quick question.
[09:17] <tehk> CheeseGardener, what can I help you with?
[09:18] <T-Connect> So it sudo apt-get install SDL 1.2.11 SDL-devel 1.2.11 ?
[09:18] <tehk> T-Connect, nope, there would be no spaces first off. Do you have synaptic?
[09:18] <Gimm1eDat> God is VMware cool
[09:18] <T-Connect> Yes
[09:18] <CheeseGardener> tehk, I have a VERY fresh computer for this:
[09:18] <CheeseGardener> Just low formatted two drives.  60 gig and a 20 gig
[09:19] <Gimm1eDat> i got the vmware tools installed.. so now Ive got ubuntu feisty running with tools in a VM
[09:19] <tehk> CheeseGardener, ok
[09:19] <Superhuman> T-Connect, try aptitude search sdl
[09:19] <CheeseGardener> I'm making partitions.  What should the swap be?  a logical or primary?
[09:19] <faileas> gah
[09:19] <CheeseGardener> do I have to create a primary?
[09:19] <Consty> I'm having a problem where flash files will consistently lock up firefox entirely and I've tried all the methods that were mentioned in the wiki to fix the problem and it still persists.
[09:19] <Consty> Any ideas?
[09:19] <Gimm1eDat> i wonder if i can get compiz runnin
[09:19] <Gimm1eDat> in vm
[09:19] <Gimm1eDat> :-)
[09:20] <CheeseGardener> I would assume I need SOME sort of primary, right tehk?
[09:20] <CheeseGardener> doesn't the computer require a primary to boot from?
[09:20] <tehk> CheeseGardener, that means nothing for boots sake
[09:21] <tehk> CheeseGardener, your mbr is on your first drive that is what directs your boot(using grub)
[09:21] <CheeseGardener> ok, so tehk, direct me through this
[09:21] <CheeseGardener> I want a 3gb swap, 20 gb / and 40 gb /home
[09:21] <CheeseGardener> tell me what to do.  I clicked manual.
[09:22] <T-Connect> I'm confused now. Looking for SDL and SDL-devel at 1.2.11.
[09:22] <tehk> CheeseGardener, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioning
[09:22] <CheeseGardener> no no... tehk, I'm creating a new partition table.
[09:22] <fonz> anyone using e17 on ubuntu?
[09:22] <Superhuman> T-Connect, what repo you using for it?
[09:22] <CheeseGardener> under /dev/hda, I'm making a swap.  What does swap have to be?  can it be logical?
[09:23] <CheeseGardener> there are NO other partitions.  Only free space.
[09:23] <jonathan8di> I want to get sound working on Ubuntu, where do I start?
[09:23] <T-Connect> GCC: 3.4.x, 4.0.x, or 4.1.x.  Older or newer versions may expose you to compile problems. and SDL: 1.2.10 or later on Unix and Mac, 1.2.11 or later on Win32.
[09:23] <jonathan8di> Is there a good faq out there?
[09:23] <T-Connect> Requirements
[09:23] <T-Connect> GCC is install.
[09:24] <T-Connect> Confused on SDL.
[09:24] <T-Connect> Too many SDL listed.
[09:24] <jonathan8di> I get sound, but it is very faint.  I have to turn the volume all the way up and I get a lot of static.
[09:24] <tehk> T-Connect, its libsdl do a search
[09:25] <tehk> CheeseGardener, ok it does not matter if its logical or not. There is just a limit on how many primaries there maybe. So sure use logical.
[09:25] <jonathan8di> I'm using a Toshiba laptop with Realtek ALC861
[09:25] <mojo> Hi.  I've been having a problem for a few weeks (edgy) where when I log in to GNOME I get "Failed to Initialize HAL".  This means, most directly, I can't get to my USB mp3 player drive.  Any ideas?
[09:25] <T-Connect> So I need libsdl1.2-dev?
[09:26] <Consty>  I'm having a problem where flash files will consistently lock up firefox entirely and I've tried all the methods that were mentioned in the wiki to fix the problem and it still persists.
[09:26] <tehk> CheeseGardener, you can split primaries into logicals too. So it depends on how much you want to partition the drive
[09:27] <MasterShrek> Consty, 64 bit?
[09:27] <gordonjcp> mojo: have you done anything that might have caused this?
[09:27] <tehk> T-Connect, http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=sdl&searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all
[09:27] <mojo> gordonjcp: not that i am awareof
[09:27] <Consty> MasterShrek: No 32bit
[09:27] <MasterShrek> you shouldnt have problems...
[09:27] <gordonjcp> mojo: a quick google suggests that reinstalling HAL ought to fix it
[09:27] <mojo> gordonjcp: tried that
[09:27] <Consty> MasterShrek: Shouldn't but I do.
[09:28] <MasterShrek> !flash | consty
[09:28] <ubotu> consty: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[09:28] <gordonjcp> mojo: did you see the one about disabling auto login?
[09:28] <MasterShrek> did u use the repos? or flash from adobes website?
[09:28] <mojo> gordonjcp: no, but i don't use autologin
[09:28] <Consty> MasterShrek: Flash from adobe's site.. I even tried the new beta of 9 that's supposed to fix a lot of problems
[09:29] <gordonjcp> mojo: did you see the one about auto smbfs mounts hanging up hald?
[09:29] <tehk> Consty, have your tried the repositories version?
[09:29] <CheeseGardener> tehk, if I create under /dev/hda a bunch of "logical" drives, will all these logical drives automatically be placed inside a "primary" drive?
[09:29] <MasterShrek> flash is running fine on my 64 bit using nspluginwrapper, i find it strange that it wont work on 32 bit
[09:29] <Consty> tehk: Nope I haven't
[09:29] <jonathan8di> Any pointers on where to start to get sound working properly?
[09:29] <CheeseGardener> Will ubuntu automatically create a primary to put them in?
[09:29] <mojo> gordonjcp: no, but i use cifs instead of smbfs for connecting to smb shares, though i use samba as a server
[09:29] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: no, logical partitions go inside of extended partitions
[09:29] <Consty> tehk: I will right now though
[09:29] <tehk> Consty, try that first, ubuntus package is made for your system specifically
[09:29] <CheeseGardener> Flannel, do I need to make any primary partitions?
[09:30] <gordonjcp> mojo: have you got any smb mounts in /etc/fstab?
[09:30] <CheeseGardener> I'm setting up a fresh install, and making partitions.
[09:30] <mojo> gordonjcp: i am trying the remove of hal again and will reinstall just to be sure, but it is gonna remove a list of packages with it.
[09:30] <Dj-avu> hi somebody help me pls, i have install ubuntu 6 andd add 1 hardisk how to read this hardisk?
[09:30] <mojo> gordonjcp: no, just cifs
[09:30] <CheeseGardener> Flannel, can I take the free space, and make the swap, /, and /home all logical drives?
[09:30] <Injen> Anyone have experience with and/or have had any problems installing ubuntu/debian dual boot on thinkpads?
[09:30] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: Yep.  Make the freespace one large extended partition, and then put the logical stuff inside of that
[09:30] <gordonjcp> mojo: just reinstall, don't remove
[09:30] <gordonjcp> mojo: also try https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/19577
[09:31] <tehk> Dj-avu, run a  'sudo fdisk -l'
[09:31] <mayo> Hello
[09:31] <CheeseGardener> Flannel, I'm at the setup wizard now.
[09:31] <gordonjcp> mojo: have you googled for the error you're getting?
[09:31] <Dj-avu> ok
[09:31] <Dj-avu> i try
[09:31] <GamingX> what will be the difference between Feisty Fawn and Gusty Gibbon?
[09:31] <CheeseGardener> If I create 3 logicals using the free space, will linux place the logicals into an extended?
[09:31] <mayo> when is ubuntu 7.10 release day?
[09:31] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: logicals only exist in an extended.  I don't think you'll be able to create logicals without an extended
[09:31] <tehk> mayo, around the 25th
[09:32] <Flannel> mayo: a tuesday in the middle of october
[09:32] <mojo> gordonjcp: yeah, i messed with it for a week or so and got frustrated.  then i tried to upgrade to fiesty but got an error about locking something in /var/lock and have not revisited the dist-upgrade
[09:32] <mayo> nice
[09:32] <GamingX> mayo: I think 13 October...
[09:32] <CheeseGardener> Flannel, so if I create swap, /, and /home as logical partitions, ubuntu will create an extended drive out of /dev/hda, and place these logical drives inside of it????
[09:32] <Dj-avu> i want copy file but in desktop mode not in terminal. how i can do?
[09:32] <Consty> tehk: flash non-free is installed but not working in firefox..
[09:33] <tehk> Consty, restart firefox
[09:33] <dgjones> mayo, looking at the release schedule, it says 18th October for final release
[09:33] <mayo> I'm in love with ubuntu, I try it sabayon but had some linux problems, need more experience
[09:33] <mojo> gordonjcp: i already did the remove, am reinstalling now.
[09:33] <Consty> tehk: Did that.
[09:33] <Consty> tehk: Maybe there is a dead process
[09:33] <tehk> Consty, May want to restart
[09:33] <GamingX> where can I get screenshots for gusty gibbon?
[09:33] <tehk> Consty, did you remove the old flash?
[09:34] <ZAKhan> anyone using ubuntu ultimate?
[09:34] <tehk> GamingX, gutsy atm is no different in look then fiesty with compiz fusion
[09:34] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: I don't know.  Logicals *cannot* exist outside of an extended.  I don't think you're able to create logical before creating an extended.  Just make a single extended partition using all the free space, and then logicals inside of that.
[09:34] <Flannel> ZAKhan: don't use it.  Install normal Ubuntu, since support is good.
[09:34] <ZAKhan> how do i use compiz?
[09:34] <CheeseGardener> I'm at the setup install right now
[09:34] <CheeseGardener> it only lists "primary" and "logical"
[09:34] <Consty> tehk: Yes.  When I installed flash-nonfree it didn't install the .so file.  It installed the shortcut pointing to it but nothing is there.
[09:34] <Dj-avu> how to login root in desktop mode, i want backup my file from hdb. because my system crash?
[09:34] <Consty> tehk: Is the package broken?
[09:34] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: alright, then make logicals
[09:34] <CheeseGardener> So, I'm assuming it will put them all in one extended.
[09:35] <GamingX> tehk: then whats the difference between the two?
[09:35] <mayo> I just installed pidgin messenger but when i close it, it goes away instead of going to system tray like other messengers. and I looked around preferences and there is not an option that has that action
[09:35] <dgjones> GamingX, changes from feisty to gutsy http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/tribe3
[09:35] <ZAKhan> Flannel,  just want to know how to activate the 3d GUI
[09:35] <Flannel> ZAKhan: And we don't know.  This isn't an Ubuntu Ultimate support channel, you'll have to ask the guy who puts it out.  Check his website.
[09:35] <Consty> tehk: Oh according to the desc it enables you to install the plugin through firefox's automatic plugin installation system.  So I'll let it do that.
[09:35] <Consty> tehk: But I've tried this before and it still locks up.
[09:36] <tehk> GamingX, Well there are alot of changes. Google it there are some news stories.
[09:36] <chuy> Consty, what problem do you have?
[09:37] <Consty> chuy: I've tried both the stable flash 9 and the new beta being done at penguin.swf and both cause my browser to lock up after a few times of viewing flash sites.
[09:38] <howlingmadhowie> well, after much surfing i found this page: http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/emea/segments/gen/client/de/ubuntu_landing?c=de&l=de&s=gen unfortunately the links don't (yet) work
[09:38] <mojo> gordonjcp: well hey, it is working now!  thanks.  don't know why that didn't fix it before.  i did that early on and had no luck
[09:38] <tehk> howlingmadhowie, whats it been 14 hours :p
[09:39] <mojo> gordonjcp: at any rate i am happy, now i can see my usb devices again
[09:39] <byonix> Hi, I'm a novice, i have a crossover office.sh file, how do I install it, I have extract it, move to its directory, and use, chmod u+x, then ./filename.sh, it does not work
[09:40] <chuy> Consty, why didn't you use flashplayer-nonfree?
[09:40] <chuy> from repository?
[09:40] <sauvin> flashplayer-nonfree can be problematic. I strongly recommend the flash player from the Adobe site.
[09:41] <Consty> chuy: Because installing flashplayer-nonfree did NOT install the plugin .so file.  It simply installed a symbolic link pointing to a file that doesn't exist.  After reviewing the package flash-nonfree it says specifically that installing this package enables the installation of the flash plugin via the plugin manager in firefox.
[09:41] <Consty> chuy: Which I have done.
[09:41] <bullgard4> What is UNO in: "im currently trying to use ooBase to read my thunderbird addressbook and export it into a csv file via Java. Im a beginner to UNO and i don't find any startpoint for getting base working. As far as I understand, the access to the thunderbird addressbook is done via the sdbc interface provided by uno?"
[09:41] <howlingmadhowie> tehk: to me, it feels like a lifetime...
[09:41] <GamingX> !cedega
[09:41] <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
[09:41] <Consty> chuy: I have also installed the plugin manually.. It's not my method of installation.  It's something wrong with flash or configuration.  I suspect it's a problem with Intel GMA950 graphics cards.
[09:42] <Consty> chuy: My system with a nvidia card has NO problems whatsoever.
[09:43] <Dj-avu> how to read hdb then copy data from hdb to hda?
[09:43] <pharaoh> dfgdg
[09:43] <gordonjcp> mojo: might be worth looking at reinstall rather than remove/install if it happens again
[09:43] <chuy> Consty, flashplayer-nonfree had the problem to not install correctly in the past because of a MD5 sum mismatch, I had a workaround to the problem but I see its not yours
[09:44] <Consty> chuy: Yeah I just don't get it.
[09:44] <BrendanM> Can anyone point me at a list of hardware supported by the fglrx video driver?
[09:45] <mojo> gordonjcp: thanks
[09:45] <Dj-avu> somebody can help me in private? i need backup my file from hdb to hda but i can`t copy from hdb! this data is very important for me.

[09:49] <Rockinghorse> travis, lsmod
[09:49] <ntbnnt> travis, lspci command
[09:49] <mojo> travis: lspci or lsusb to list devices on the pci and usb busses, respectively
[09:50] <travis> can i grep for anything? because i didn't see anything useful in the ubuntu device manager program, and iirc lsmod gives you the same information
[09:50] <neumind> so nvu not created already?
[09:50] <Phrozen_One> does synaptic download all source code along with all binaries?
[09:50] <dgjones> neumind, you need to install kompozer, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kompozer
[09:50] <travis> Phrozen_One: no, you need to apt-get source whatever
[09:50] <tehk> Phrozen_One, if you ask it too.
[09:50] <mojo> travis: lsmod lists kernel modules
[09:51] <Dj-avu> wrong fs type
[09:51] <travis> mojo: yeah sorry i meant lspci
[09:51] <Phrozen_One> tehk, where would it be stored if it was configured to do so
[09:51] <chuy> travis lspci = list pci modules
[09:51] <chuy> travis pci devices *
[09:52] <travis> chuy: yeah... which is why i meant to say that
[09:52] <chuy> :)
[09:52] <mojo> travis: maybe post your output to a pastebin site?
[09:53] <mojo> try http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give back the link to your post
[09:53] <tehk> Phrozen_One, well to download source you do not need sudo. So where ever it is run
[09:54] <novato_br> what is the last gimp version ?
[09:54] <T-Connect> Yay I making SDLMAME now.
[09:54] <T-Connect> I download the right stuff.
[09:54] <tehk> Phrozen_One, so if you run 'apt-get source packagename' in your home directory it will be stored there.
[09:54] <novato_br> i want the last version gimp and players
[09:54] <Phrozen_One> tehk, thank you :)
[09:55] <novato_br> plz dudes
[09:55] <mojo> novato_br: try going to their web site?
[09:55] <gordonjcp> novato_br: google
[09:55] <tehk> Phrozen_One, I lie, they can be stored in /var/cache/apt/archives on some occations too
[09:55] <novato_br> cool
[09:55] <novato_br> thx
[09:58] <mojo> novato_br: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
[09:58] <novato_br> thx, mojo
[09:59] <mojo> novato_br: np - but remember it is good netiquette to do some leg work yourself before picking brains
[09:59] <novato_br> but i've tried
[10:00] <File13> what would i type in terminal if i wanted to scan wireless networks on my wlan1
[10:01] <byonix> how do you install a *.sh softwares and a *.bin softwares
[10:02] <mojo> byonix: .sh is usually a shell script, and can be executed directly if the executable bit is set on it (man chmod for info).  .bin some binary file, may also be executable.  be careful running any old binary executable file w/o some knowledge of where it came from. better to install packages if possible, or compile your own from source
[10:03] <dgjones> byonix, what software is it you're installing
[10:03] <GamingX> !chmod
[10:03] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[10:03] <mojo> byonix: shell script is basically a text file that gets executed from the shell, such as bash (born again shell).  shell = command prompt
[10:03] <byonix> i want to install avg anti malware, and crossover office
[10:04] <T-Connect> Brb
[10:04] <cy_`> hello
[10:04] <byonix> i have tried to chmod u+x *.sh, and ./*.sh, no work
[10:04] <cy_`> when will the packages linux-image-2.6.22-7-generic and linux-headers-2.6.22-7-generic come out for feisty ?
[10:05] <defrysk> cy_`, they wont
[10:05] <cy_`> defrysk, why not?
[10:05] <Rockinghorse> byonix: try sh ./*.sh
[10:05] <cy_`> wont there be any kernel updates?
[10:05] <defrysk> cy_`, feisty uses another kernel version
[10:06] <defrysk> cy_`, for feisty only security updates if needed
[10:06] <cy_`> defrysk, so they will only come with gutsy?
[10:06] <byonix> you mean type sh, then ./*.sh?
[10:06] <cy_`> so i will have to do a root kernel exploit to get a kernel update?
[10:06] <cy_`> @#!  ;)
[10:06] <Rockinghorse> yes
[10:06] <byonix> in a single prompt
[10:06] <defrysk> cy_`, gutsy is still under development , try #ubuntu+1
[10:06] <Rockinghorse> yes
[10:07] <File13> what would i type in terminal to scan available wireless networks?
[10:08] <rausb0> File13: iwlist scanning
[10:08] <File13> thanks
[10:08] <howlingmadhowie> cy_`: you can of course compile and install your own kernel
[10:09] <rausb0> File13: you may have to prepend that command with sudo
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> !kernel > cy_`
[10:09] <giany911> guys i nees some help with gnome, i cant make the top taskbar fully transparent, instead its displayed like this http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/6720/transzr3.jpg
[10:09] <hunteke> howlingmadhowie: I've been working on that off and on for the past week with no luck.  Any suggestions/pointers?
[10:09] <File13> rausb0, could i somehow make a tiny little script to put on my desktop to run it automatically instead of typing it in every time
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> !kernel > hunteke
[10:09] <howlingmadhowie> hunteke: where's it going wrong?
[10:09] <hunteke> all I get is the "Starting up . . ."
[10:10] <dgjones> cy_`, have a look at this in the ubuntu forums, maybe its of use http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=511974
[10:10] <rausb0> rausb0: network manager should also show you available wireless networks
[10:10] <File13> i had to uninstall it to get my thing to work
[10:10] <rausb0> rausb0: so you don't really need to run iwlist scanning all the time
[10:11] <rausb0> File13: so your wireless card is not supported by network manager?
[10:11] <File13> part of my ralink rt73 was uninstalling the network manager
[10:11] <rausb0> File13: which one is it?
[10:11] <File13> yes
[10:11] <File13> its an edimax card
[10:11] <File13> with a rt73 chipset
[10:11] <giany911> guys i nees some help with gnome, i cant make the top taskbar fully transparent, instead its displayed like this http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/6720/transzr3.jpg
[10:11] <rausb0> File13: ah, okay. ralink, i also have one of those.
[10:12] <File13> so what do you do?
[10:12] <File13> just run that command all the time?
[10:12] <cy_`> thanks howlingmadhowie fyrestrtr and dgjones
[10:13] <hunteke> that thread is well and good, except that I'm wanting to do some kernel work for putting my computer to sleep.  Unfortunately, I'm new to kernel dev
[10:13] <hunteke> the last I used it was on a 2.4 on redhat 9 I think
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> !kernel
[10:13] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[10:13] <howlingmadhowie> hunteke: basically give it a go. compile it however you want, add it to an option to grub and then boot again. if everything goes wrong you can just use a previous kernel
[10:14] <hunteke> howlingmadhowie: yep that's what I've been doing.  do you know what to unhide the kernel messages?
[10:14] <hunteke> *what -> how
[10:14] <hunteke> so I can see where it's blocking?
[10:15] <howlingmadhowie> hunteke: while booting? just don't add quiet and splash as options
[10:15] <hunteke> a duh
[10:15] <hunteke> must be tired

[10:23] <judah> i tried using the gstreamer codec pack that supposedly has xvid to no avail..
[10:24] <hunteke> I'm not an irc user normally: any way I can turn off all the noise and only listen to the convo?  I don't need to see who's entering and leaving  . . .
[10:24] <hunteke> (I didn't immediately see a way to do this with my client, Gaim <IP_ADDRESS>beta)
[10:24] <hunteke> nor did I see immediately see it in the FAQ
[10:24] <judah> I also tried using mplayer which is supposed to have divx built in and tried to stream a divx file online and it didn't work either..

[10:36] <Joel654> but now after i rebooted it gives me black screen so i tryed taking it back out and it still has black screen what can i be missing?
[10:37] <howlingmadhowie> shriphani: it's all explained here: http://w3m.sourceforge.net/MANUAL (basically alt-a and alt-b, or esc-a and esc-b incase the terminal does something different on alt-a or alt-b)

[10:41] <dgjones> linuxero21, the factoid was the quickest way of pointing you to #ubuntu+1 for the support
[10:41] <linuxero21> dgjones: ok sorry, i not read it correctly
[10:41] <dgjones> linuxero21, no probs

[10:42] <floppyears> hi,
[10:42] <SoleKiller> now its in one msg
[10:42] <floppyears> I'm going to be building an ubuntu machine
[10:42] <floppyears> have any of you guys bought stuff from mwave what did you think about them ?
[10:43] <ikonia> floppyears: this is an ubuntu support channel
[10:43] <floppyears> ikonia: I know, I thought it'd be ok to ask since I'm going to be building an ubuntu machine with the parts
[10:43] <lumgwada>  SoleKiller  try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=391961 its more up to date
[10:43] <floppyears> I don't know where else to ask
[10:43] <ikonia> not really
[10:43] <ikonia> a retailer is nothing to do with supporting an os
[10:43] <cwillu> floppyears: haven't had any experience with that brand
[10:44] <SoleKiller> man i did manage to get the exe the file just wasnt there
[10:44] <SoleKiller> blah
[10:44] <cwillu> floppyears: best bet is to just google the part + ubuntu
[10:44] <cwillu> or + linux
[10:44] <lumgwada> SoleKiller: the above thread doen't need ndiswrapper....
[10:44] <dgjones> floppyears, maybe try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic, somebody might have experience there
[10:44] <SoleKiller> hope it works
[10:44] <danny> hello

[10:46] <SoleKiller> lol
[10:46] <danny> would anyone know where i should go
[10:46] <SoleKiller> now i used the window manager and saw it
[10:46] <danny> for help with a video problem?
[10:46] <howlingmadhowie> SoleKiller: cool :)
[10:46] <SoleKiller> thanks m8
[10:47] <dgjones> danny, if its ubuntu related, you're in the best place to ask, ask you're question and see if anybody can help
[10:47] <floppyears> thanks dgjones I didn't know about that channel
[10:47] <danny> awesome, its pretty simple: im running feisty, and i have 2 monitors connected to my desktop
[10:48] <danny> and an nvidia card, but it wont set the resolutions of both correctly
[10:48] <ikonia> danny are you using twinview or xinerama ?
[10:48] <danny> ive used the nvidia-settings tool
[10:48] <danny> twinview
[10:48] <diana_> hello
[10:49] <SoleKiller>  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=391961
[10:49] <SoleKiller> crap
[10:49] <Traveler__> hi diana
[10:49] <danny> nvidia-settings works for the monitor connected with DVI, but the other one is connected with VGA and it wont do the right resolution
[10:49] <SoleKiller> bt DRIVER # ndiswrapper -i bcm15.inf
[10:49] <SoleKiller> driver bcm15 is already installed
[10:49] <SoleKiller> bt DRIVER # ndiswrapper -l
[10:49] <SoleKiller> bcm15 : invalid driver!
[10:49] <SoleKiller> wtf?!
[10:49] <ikonia> please don't use "WFT" we all know what it means
[10:49] <ikonia> wtf even
[10:49] <dgjones> !ohmy | SoleKiller
[10:49] <ubotu> SoleKiller: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:49] <SoleKiller> ok
[10:50] <SoleKiller> wth?
[10:50] <CroX> Any way I can get the Application Switcher in Compiz to work as the Ring Switcher? In that it switches between the last used windows instead of a predefined list.
[10:50] <lumgwada> SoleKiller: I told you earlier to try the thread that doesn't need ndiswrapper... It's a more stable end solution
[10:50] <danny> ive tried to wrestle with xorg.conf, but nothing works
[10:50] <travis_> so does anyone know why compiz (with radeon drivers and an x600) has little errors on the corner of windows? it's like the edge of another image is bleeding over
[10:50] <danny> stupid nvidia drivers...
[10:50] <SoleKiller> argh i hope i didnt dang things up
[10:50] <SoleKiller> how to i cleanup now?
[10:50] <SoleKiller> do*
[10:51] <SoleKiller> how do i remove the invalid driver?
[10:51] <howlingmadhowie> SoleKiller: it must be possible to remove drivers installed using ndiswrapper. i've never needed to use ndiswrapper myself, however. what does ndiswrapper -h say?
[10:51] <SoleKiller> -r driver
[10:51] <SoleKiller> right
[10:52] <ikonia> SoleKiller: just undo what you've done
[10:52] <danny> no idea anyone?
[10:53] <danny> :[
[10:53] <selinuxium> what is the deamon portion running on the remote machine that vnc connects to
[10:53] <ikonia> danny: you'll need to maually configure xorg.conf to the correct monitor, refresh rates, resolutions etc etc etc if the non-dvi cable is not picking up the correct ddc info to configure it
[10:54] <howlingmadhowie> (ddc: a new tla)
[10:54] <Hadron> I created a dvd holding all the packages I installed on my development machine using "aptoncd". I then ran aptoncd on my laptop. But how to tell the laptop to *install* all these packages? In other words how do I get a list of installed packages and duplicate it on another machine.
[10:54] <danny> i see, ive read many forums at ubuntuforms.org and tried everything, even tried xinerama. every time i make edits and restart X, X won't load. I have to reset my xorg.conf using nvidia-xconfig for X to load.
[10:55] <ikonia> danny: thats because you need to specify the correct values - exactly
[10:55] <Hadron> danny, did you run "envy"?
[10:55] <MasterShrek> Hadron, just go on the cd and dpkg -i *.deb
[10:55] <ikonia> god I hope not
[10:55] <danny> which values are most critical?
[10:55] <MasterShrek> thats what i would do
[10:55] <Hadron> MasterShrek: doh! Of course.
[10:55] <ikonia> danny: all of them
[10:55] <danny> i tried envy once, and it ruined my nvidia drivers
[10:55] <MasterShrek> it should add them to synaptic too right?
[10:55] <danny> i had to reboot
[10:55] <ikonia> reboot won't fix your nvidia drivers after an envy install
[10:55] <hunteke> ikonia: X is notoriously difficult to get right if you don't know what's going on
[10:56] <Hadron> danny, i used it with no issue. What version of Ubuntu are you  on and what is your card?
[10:56] <ikonia> hunteke: totally
[10:56] <danny> feisty, nvidia FX 5200
[10:56] <hunteke> not saying I'm any genius, but it took me the better part of 2 years to figure just my problems
[10:56] <ikonia> danny: are the monitors both the same ?
[10:56] <danny> theyre both 19" LCDs
[10:56] <ikonia> hunteke: thats an unusually long time
[10:56] <danny> not name brand
[10:56] <hunteke> (off and on of course!  give me /some/ credit)
[10:56] <howlingmadhowie> ikonia: it will do, if your name is bruce schneier :)
[10:56] <danny> both 1-2 years old
[10:56] <ikonia> howlingmadhowie: ;)
[10:57] <SoleKiller> WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.save line 47: ignoring bad line starting with 'bcm43xxblacklist'
[10:57] <shriphani> howlingmadhowie: the manual is nice. but is there any file i can put the link in and ask it to go to those links. i have the url opened in firefox and i am going to switch to cli now...
[10:57] <SoleKiller> it says in the manual to ignor but now its ignoring the driver i installed
[10:58] <danny> i think my only hope is to wait around for the new x.org 7.3
[10:58] <SoleKiller> if ill put in the blacklist the same in ""
[10:58] <ikonia> danny: here are the things you need to check. 1.) the version of the nvidia driver should be the one from the ubuntu repo 2.) your card is supported by that driver 3.) xorg is using the correct driver 4.) your monitor definitions for BOTH monitors are spot on 5.) your screen section and layout section is spot on
[10:58] <ikonia> danny: this has nothing to do with xorg version
[10:58] <howlingmadhowie> shriphani: i only use w3m or similar very rarely, so i'm afraid i don't know. i imagine the bookmarks are saved in an xml-file (or similar) somewhere in $HOME. you could just copy the bookmark file from firefox there and change whatever syntax needs changing.
[10:58] <Hadron> MasterShrek: working like  a charm. Why didn't I think of tha obvious solution. Thats what happens when an app like aptocd doesn't do its job fully :-;
[10:59] <MasterShrek> you prolly just have to add it to your sources
[10:59] <MasterShrek> but since youll prolly only use it once, no reason to
[11:00] <howlingmadhowie> shriphani: if not, simple things like: w3m `cat name_of_file_containing_the_url_i-want` should work
[11:01] <SoleKiller> great
[11:01] <SoleKiller> now i have 2 interfaces for the same wifi device
[11:01] <danny> 1) it is 2) it is 3) driver="nvidia" 4) im not too great at wrangling xorg.conf...
[11:01] <SoleKiller> eth0 and wlan0
[11:01] <SoleKiller> how do i cancel one?
[11:01] <howlingmadhowie> SoleKiller: don't worry about that. just configure eth0
[11:01] <ikonia> danny: if you want detailed xorg configuration help you may be better in #nvidia as #xorg doesn't like helping with nvidia/ati config issues
[11:02] <Caplain> one of my disks has a bad superblock, how do i fix that?
[11:02] <danny> *sigh* okay, ill go there
[11:02] <SoleKiller> let me reboot ill see what happens
[11:02] <danny> thanks anyways
[11:02] <howlingmadhowie> SoleKiller: hang on
[11:02] <SoleKiller> k
[11:02] <K-4U> will windows drivers work on ubuntu with wine installed?
[11:02] <SoleKiller> lo        no wireless extensions.
[11:02] <SoleKiller> eth0        no wireless extensions.
[11:02] <ikonia> K-4U: wine is software emmulation - so ubuntu won't use the windows drivers
[11:03] <howlingmadhowie> SoleKiller: what did you echo exactly to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ?
[11:03] <TheCheeseGardene> Quick qusetion.  Is it normal to have 9.8% contingous data on a EXT3 partition???
[11:03] <SoleKiller> blacklist bcm42xx
[11:03] <ikonia> TheCheeseGardene: depends what your doing on it
[11:03] <SoleKiller> like it says in the manual
[11:03] <K-4U> ikonia: are there any ways to use windows drivers?
[11:03] <MasterShrek> WINE = Wine Is Not an Emulator
[11:03] <ikonia> K-4U: ndiswrapper for certain devices, but not really
[11:03] <ikonia> MasterShrek: bad choice of wording on my part
[11:03] <TheCheeseGardene> ikonia, I did nothing.  Just updates, on a freshly formated (formatted from a low format) drive.
[11:03] <MasterShrek> :)
[11:03] <howlingmadhowie> SoleKiller: i doubt it. the line would start with the word "blacklist"
[11:04] <K-4U> ikonia: because i have an onboard video chipset. but there are no drivers for linux
[11:04] <ikonia> TheCheeseGardene: just fsck it if your worried
[11:04] <ikonia> K-4U: whats the video card ?
[11:04] <SoleKiller> ill nano and copy it for ya
[11:04] <linuxero21> hi again, guys. i have another question: when an application crashes, i have always to send bug report or it is better to search the bug before sending, trying to not duplicate it?
[11:04] <TheCheeseGardene> ikonia, it did a fsck, and it said there was 9.8 contingous. does that mean it fixed the problem???
[11:04] <oly_2> hi, i am using evolution with an exchange server, i have noticed that it does not bring up the public folders is this a limitation of evolution or should it be able to view them from the server ??
[11:04] <ikonia> linuxero21: doesn't send a bug report send info on a bug.
[11:04] <fraser> hi, does anyone know anything about the following error i received when trying to make install something? "make[3] : msgfmt: Command not found"
[11:04] <ikonia> TheCheeseGardene: man fsck and look at options to resolve it. its not a big deal though
[11:05] <SoleKiller> blacklist hostap_cs
[11:05] <SoleKiller> blacklist hostap_pci
[11:05] <SoleKiller> blacklist hostap_plx
[11:05] <SoleKiller> blacklist hostap
[11:05] <SoleKiller> blacklist bcm43xx
[11:05] <ikonia> fraser: the command msgfmt is not found - so its either not on your box or not in your path
[11:05] <ikonia> fraser: its says the problem in plain english
[11:05] <K-4U> ikonia: VIA chipset
[11:05] <SoleKiller> last line me
[11:05] <SoleKiller> didnt echo got in and put it but its the same
[11:05] <ikonia> K-4U: Hmmmm do via make video cards ?
[11:05] <linuxero21> ikonia: ok i understand it
[11:05] <faileas> SoleKiller: nexttime, pastebin? ;)
[11:06] <SoleKiller> ok man
[11:06] <SoleKiller> =)
[11:06] <faileas> ikonia: yeah, bought over s3
[11:06] <fraser> ikonia, lol i got that.  no need to be a smart arse. what i'm asking is, what is msgfmt and how do i fix this error? also, i admit my question wasn't very specific, but if you didn't understand what i meant, you must have hard time making general conversation
[11:06] <ikonia> ahh so the S3 drivers may be usable
[11:06] <K-4U> ikonia: okay, thnx. i l search
[11:06] <ikonia> fraser: I'm not being a smart arse - you asked what the problem was
[11:06] <fraser> ikonia, okay, do you understand why i got this error or how to fix it?
[11:07] <ikonia> fraser: are you serious - how to fix it ??? I've just called me a smart arse for pointing out the problem.
[11:07] <ikonia> fraser: install the missing binary or fix your path
[11:07] <ikonia> but then thats me being a smart arse again
[11:07] <howlingmadhowie> SoleKiller: i don't like the look of this error message: WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.save line 47: ignoring bad line starting with 'bcm43xxblacklist'
[11:08] <gordonjcp> fraser: bugger off
[11:08] <gordonjcp> fraser: either that or learn to be polite to people who are trying to help you
[11:08] <howlingmadhowie> SoleKiller: but you seem to have corrected that, if the huge screendump you posted above is the current state of your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[11:08] <TheCheeseGardene> how do I get macromedia flash to work?  what package should I download?

[11:10] <ikonia> byeeeeee
[11:10] <Traveler__> crikey
[11:10] <ikonia> telling you the command that was missing / not in your path and telling you how to fix it by installing it is not helping ???
