[06:52] <b0ri5> Does anyone have ideas why I can't install xserver-glx?????
[06:52] <Symmetria> in its simplest form what Gorgapor said is correct, chroot changes the root of the system from a particular programs perspective
[06:52] <Dr_willis> riaal,  then make  them.  mkdir /path/to/the/folder
[06:52] <b0ri5> I get unmet dependencies]
[06:52] <riaal> Dr_willis, well, okey... cheers
[06:52] <b0ri5> but those dependencies are not installable!??
[06:52] <Dr_willis> riaal,  it may bw worth your while to read some beginner console guide/docs. :)
[06:53] <b0ri5> Doesn't make any sense. What do I do?
[06:53] <Dr_willis> riaal,  im betting you will have a lot bigger issues soon. :)
[06:53] <bswift> My laptop doesn't boot, starting in recovery mode I get "/sbin/init: Accessing a corrupted shared library" and then a kernel panic. Any pointers in which direction to go ?
[06:53] <riaal> Dr_willis, I know how to make a directory =) just that I don't know what im doing messing whit the kernel
[06:53] <Dr_willis> riaal,  drivers are 'kernel' modules.
[06:53] <javb> Gorgapor, so is it a kind of profile of the system for a program  that needs the system with a conf different than the way it is in reality?
[06:53] <riaal> Dr_willis,  Think so?
[06:53] <Dr_willis> riaal,  im supprised the modulkes for that card are not included allready
[06:53] <Dr_willis> riaal,  what brand card was it exactly?
[06:54] <b0ri5> how do I install these unmet dependencies???
[06:54] <b0ri5> does anyone know?
[06:54] <Vaalth> hey, does anyone know how to add the ubuntuguide.org repositories? it tells me to in this guide but it doesnt say how
[06:54] <Dr_willis> b0ri5,  you still fighting with Beryl?
[06:54] <b0ri5> yes!
[06:54] <riaal> Dr_willis, The strange thing is, it is supose to be.. And it works.. sometimes.. So before I trow the 4%&& card in the trash I tought installing the "real" drivers could help?
[06:54] <b0ri5> I've reverted ALL changes, and am doing it over again
[06:55] <Dr_willis> b0ri5,  just to give you a heads up - i installed the beryl stuff a week or so ago.. after fighting with it.. then it crashed constantly.....
[06:55] <b0ri5> so I shouldn't install it?
[06:55] <olrrai> hello
[06:55] <Dr_willis> b0ri5,  so ya know why i  KEEP SAYING .. dont mess with Beryl.
[06:55] <Dr_willis> :)
[06:55] <Vaalth> hey, anyone know how to add the ubuntuguide.org repositories? it tells me to in this guide but doesnt say how
[06:55] <b0ri5> fine, but those animation effects looked cool
[06:55] <Dr_willis> when feisty comes out - it may be much easier to setup.
[06:55] <Vaalth> im trying to get ventrilo working under wine
[06:56] <Dr_willis> b0ri5,  get a live cd' play with them till lyou reaize how useless they are.. then reboot. :)
[06:56] <riaal> Dr_willis, But, It  is a cNet card whit Ralink chip
[06:56] <chrx> hi...i am new to ubuntu....i was trying to install something and the disk got really full..then when trying to delete some big files i realised that i had to be root to delete....then i logged off and try to log on again but told me cant log on because disk is full...so now how can i delete some files to be able to log on again....
[06:56] <olrrai> anyone know how to make gdialog or zenity timeout?
[06:56] <Dr_willis> riaal, you are saying you boot up. the card works.. for a while, then stops? or some times you boot and it dont work at all.. THEN another reboot and it works?
[06:56] <Cnl_Delta> chrx, import the disk into another computer, and delete the files from there
[06:57] <ray_> I'm trying to add some gdesklets but I'm not sure what directory to drop the desklets in
[06:57] <javb> guys, how do i create a password to identifie  my nickname ?
[06:57] <savvas> Viro: did you find a way to upgrade?
[06:57] <Dr_willis> javb,  /msg nickserv help
[06:57] <Gorgapor> javb, you actually create a chroot folder somewhere with all the variant etc/ bin/ usr/ folders in it, then tell a program that THIS folder is /
[06:57] <Viro> savvas, no
[06:58] <savvas> Viro: download the edgy-alternative cdrom, it will be easier that way
[06:58] <Viro> savvas, when I type that gksu "update-manager -c" msg it just closes it ;)
[06:58] <vicente> Orfeous, what error are you getting with oddcastv3?
[06:58] <Viro> ahhh... allright :( ima get it
[06:58] <Gorgapor> javb, it also keeps the program from accessing anything outside of the chroot folder, because you can't cd .. from /
[06:59] <ray_> I can't figure out how to add desklets to the gdesklets shell
[06:59] <savvas> Viro: or just change the sources, you just tried the 1st of the 3 ways to install :P
[06:59] <riaal> Dr_willis, It always works when I just reboted, strange thing is. It goes to some kind of "lockdown" but kismet can monitor networks whit it "forever" but I can't connect to my own router =S
[06:59] <idel> hi all, I need help. How can I list files through subdirectories including path, "ls -R dir/*" doesn't work
[06:59] <b0ri5> I cannot install a superkaramba theme.
[06:59] <chrx> i have a dual boot with windows on same disk....can i delete linux files from windows to free space...
[06:59] <Viro> savvas :) ima try that
[06:59] <Dr_willis> riaal,  odd.....
[06:59] <javb> Thanks Gorgapor, so what would be the technical reason to make a program run as chroot..
[07:00] <Dr_willis> riaal,  may want to find the ra chipset/drivers homepage/forums - could be some driver bug thats being worked on for the next kernel.
[07:00] <riaal> Dr_willis,  just found something: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=132980
[07:00] <javb> i mean, why smtp server, in this case, Postfix in Ubuntu Server, must create another / system link?
[07:00] <Viro> btw, does anyone know what script is the latest that goes off after you log in to X Windows ? I tried /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession  but that's not late enough :))
[07:00] <Gorgapor> glad to help
[07:01] <Gorgapor> with what limited knowledge i do have about linux (i'm still a bit new myself)
[07:01] <kleftisx> with what command i can compile C++ projects on ubuntu???
[07:01] <Dr_willis> gcc whatever.c
[07:01] <riaal> Dr_willis, lol......."(a) Do not use the "Networking" tool (network-admin). You will get a lock-up at boot time at the point where the network interfaces are bieng configured"
[07:01] <jrib> kleftisx: install build-essential, the command is  g++
[07:01] <ray_> what other NES emulators are there for ubuntu?
[07:01] <tremmor> how do I resize LVM physical partition? gparted doesn't know physical volumes ?!
[07:01] <Dr_willis> kleftisx,  may want to google for some basic C++ tutorials for linux.
[07:01] <Nalleman> Im about to install avant windows navigator using this guide.http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/SVN+Version+Installation, i got stuck on the "make" part. Make does nothing, shoul I install something else?
[07:02] <denis_on_ubuntu> question: i have an external hard drive that I loaded a bunch of files to. But when I installed Ubuntu it does not let me "write" to the drive - how do I gain read/write/execute access to my external HD???
[07:02] <kleftisx> jrib : i have installed build-essential and i have use g++ but it not regonize commands like "cout" "endl" e.t.c
[07:02] <Dr_willis> ray_,  theres some that may not be in the repos. will have to use the source. check that zophars domaine site for what ones exist.
[07:02] <ray_> ty
[07:02] <Dr_willis> denis_on_ubuntu,  ntfs drive?
[07:02] <jrib> kleftisx: pastebin your source code, the command you used, and the error output from that command
[07:02] <Gorgapor> denis_on_ubuntu, it's probably mounted with the wrong permissions
[07:02] <denis_on_ubuntu> hm - i'm a total noob here, so i dunno whether its ntfs or not
[07:02] <Gorgapor> denis_on_ubuntu, are you familiar with fstab?
[07:03] <denis_on_ubuntu> so how do i go about this?
[07:03] <denis_on_ubuntu> nope
[07:03] <denis_on_ubuntu> i'm really new to linux (2nd day on it)
[07:03] <Gorgapor> ok, run 'mount' to see what you have mounted
[07:03] <kleftisx> jrib : have a look http://cpp.sourceforge.net/?show=32679
[07:04] <Enverex> What is the current state of Biometrics in Linux?
[07:04] <denis_on_ubuntu>  -> /dev/sdb1 on /media/External Disk type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8)
[07:04] <tonyyarusso> Enverex: "Varies".  The ThinkWiki has some info for fingerprint readers.
[07:04] <Peter77> hi, I'm getting a core 2 duo laptop, should I use 32-bit or 64-bit linux on it?
[07:04] <Gorgapor> yep ntfs
[07:05] <denis_on_ubuntu> ok so its ntfs
[07:05] <denis_on_ubuntu> what do i do now
[07:05] <denis_on_ubuntu> ? lol
[07:05] <jrib> Peter77: if you like multimedia, use 32bit
[07:05] <olrrai> exit
[07:05] <Peter77> won't films play in 64-bit?
[07:06] <Gorgapor> denis_on_ubuntu, i'm not an expert at this stuff, my policy has just been "use FAT32 if you need an external partition"
[07:06] <jrib> Peter77: flash isn't available on 64bit and getting some codecs like wmv is also cumbersome
[07:06] <Gorgapor> : (
[07:06] <Peter77> ahh so I should just stick with i686?
[07:06] <denis_on_ubuntu> hm - there HAS to be a way for me to give myself access to my dirve! even if its NTFS!!!!
[07:06] <denis_on_ubuntu> :(
[07:07] <b0ri5> when I run superkaramba, I get this: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166
[07:07] <sparrw> b0ri5: you should see that same error running any X app from the terminal
[07:07] <Gorgapor> well you can read by default
[07:07] <denis_on_ubuntu> yeah
[07:07] <denis_on_ubuntu> i can
[07:07] <denis_on_ubuntu> but that's not good enough
[07:07] <Gorgapor> yeah
[07:08] <b0ri5> sparrw: for example, I installed a theme, and got this:
[07:08] <b0ri5> Error reading file 39609-TempMon_AIO-0.3.theme from zip
[07:08] <b0ri5> Could not read config file.
[07:08] <b0ri5> X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
[07:08] <ques> hi
[07:08] <jrib> Peter77: yeah.  You could always install both and just see if you think it's worth the extra trouble to get flash and such to work on 64-bit
[07:08] <Enverex> tonyyarusso, For any readers or just the ThinkPad one?
[07:08] <FarrisG> I've got a dapper box running gnome/gdm. I have a few gnome-terminals open with ssh sessions to another box running a long job. gdm has puked/hung, but the remote jobs are still running. Is there any way for me to restart gdm or recover without nuking those remote jobs? Too late to use screen
[07:08] <ques> What do the synchronous updates on mail queue mean in postfix?
[07:08] <Gorgapor> i'm without browser access right now, unfortunately, so i can't help research it
[07:08] <Gorgapor> but you should look at the forums
[07:08] <tonyyarusso> Enverex: It's for the thinkpad one, but I'm told a fair amount of the info applies generally too.
[07:08] <Orfeous> vicente, no error.. i just cant get jack working with it ;) and xmms
[07:08] <denis_on_ubuntu> I did
[07:08] <Gorgapor> or alternately create a FAT32 partition and copy everything to it
[07:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> can't find anything that's relevant to my situation
[07:09] <Gorgapor> darn
[07:09] <ScotF> I'm doing an install and it looks like the automatix2 web site is down. Does anyone know if this permanent?
[07:09] <jrib> kleftisx: how about the rest?
[07:09] <ques> What do the synchronous updates on mail queue mean when installing postfix in ubuntu
[07:09] <Peter77> can't I install both kernels?
[07:09] <visualnets> I need some help
[07:09] <sparrw> FarrisG: ssh into that other machine again, figure out how to take over the ssh session?
[07:09] <Gorgapor> denis_on_ubuntu, is it reasonable in your case to create a FAT32 partition?
[07:09] <kleftisx> jrib : what rest?
[07:09] <visualnets> hello all
[07:09] <jrib> !helpme | visualnets
[07:09] <ubotu> visualnets: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> i dont think so
[07:09] <Peter77> therefore letting me access my files using either?
[07:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> i have a LOT
[07:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> of stuff on the drive
[07:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> and i cant format it
[07:09] <jrib> kleftisx: pastebin your source code, the command you used, and the error output from that command
[07:09] <visualnets> jrib,hello
[07:09] <visualnets> thx for u
[07:10] <wick2o> hello
[07:10] <gumpish> is there a way to change the color of text in the console? (not xterm, I mean the ttys you get in ctrl-alt-F1-6)
[07:10] <visualnets> jrib,I am a fresher to use ubuntu
[07:10] <kane77> !ntfs | denis_on_ubuntu
[07:10] <ubotu> denis_on_ubuntu: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:10] <ques> What do the synchronous updates on mail queue mean when installing postfix in ubuntu
[07:10] <kane77> !ntfs-3g | denis_on_ubuntu
[07:10] <ubotu> denis_on_ubuntu: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[07:11] <kleftisx> jrib : i have use gcc -Wall -g hello.c -o hello and i just write void main(){ cout << "Hello World" << endl; }
[07:11] <kane77> !fuse | denis_on_ubuntu
[07:11] <ubotu> denis_on_ubuntu: Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[07:11] <FarrisG> sparrw: Is there any way to do that if we haven't already screened that session?
[07:11] <visualnets> jrib,i am in bash now,i want login to gnome,but i do not know the command
[07:11] <wick2o> anyone here customize their own install cd with a different preseed or some such?  I follow the online guide and fix the ubuntu-keyring...and i also do a sudo find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sudo tee md5sum.txt to update the new hashes
[07:11] <denis_on_ubuntu> why is it unsafe?
[07:11] <kane77> denis_on_ubuntu, I recommend ntfs3g
[07:11] <wick2o> but when i try and install the debconf gives me errors and says these files that i modified are corrupt
[07:11] <wick2o> am i missing something stupid?
[07:11] <kane77> denis_on_ubuntu, it can mess up your stuff
[07:11] <soundray> gumpish: you can use ANSI escape codes
[07:11] <denis_on_ubuntu> :|
[07:11] <denis_on_ubuntu> i cant risk messup
[07:12] <visualnets> jrib,can u help me login to gnome
[07:12] <denis_on_ubuntu> ntfs3g?
[07:12] <Gorgapor> then transfering to FAT32 or ext3fs seems like a good option, seeing as how you really like your data : )
[07:12] <zumi> how can i change preferences of 3ddesktop?
[07:13] <kane77> denis_on_ubuntu, there has been extensive testing going on..
[07:13] <visualnets> hello all i need some help
[07:13] <zumi> how can i change preferences of 3ddesktop?
[07:13] <jrib> kleftisx: it should be: g++ foo.cc
[07:13] <kane77> zumi, man 3ddesktop
[07:13] <Gorgapor> visualnets, you can just outright ask a question :)
[07:13] <ScotF> zumi, do u have the red gem on your desktop or on the taskbar?
[07:13] <jrib> visualnets: how come the graphical login window didn't start?
[07:14] <gumpish> =/
[07:14] <ardchoille> When I insert a CD in the cd drive, which file is it that tells the system which mount point tt use when mounting that cd disk?
[07:14] <zumi> which red gem? you mean beryl?
[07:14] <kmaynard> ardchoille, /etc/fstab
[07:14] <ques> any postfix installation tutorials?
[07:14] <visualnets> jrib,yes when i power on my pc,boot to bash
[07:14] <ardchoille> kmaynard: Thank you :)
[07:14] <ScotF> yeah --
[07:14] <kmaynard> ardchoille, np
[07:15] <kane77> zumi, you meant like berryl?
[07:15] <jrib> visualnets: ok, is ubuntu-desktop installed?  use this command to find out:  apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop
[07:15] <kane77> zumi, or the 3ddesktop package?
[07:15] <zumi> 3ddesktoppackage
[07:15] <visualnets> jrib,thx let's me try
[07:15] <soundray> gumpish: what?
[07:16] <sacater> zumi: having trouble with beryl?
[07:16] <infinito> does anyone a way to make exim not sending emails with "undisclosed recipients" as TO: ??
[07:16] <zumi> no, I just want to change preferences of 3ddesktop package
[07:16] <b0ri5> For some reason Ubuntu freezes randomly when I'm using FIrefox
[07:16] <b0ri5> I think Windows is more stable that Ubuntu
[07:16] <gumpish> I don't want to just add color to my prompt or something. I want EVERYTHING to be in green text instead of gray.
[07:16] <kmaynard> TROLL IN THE DUNGEON
[07:17] <kmaynard> crap, caps lock
[07:17] <Enverex> b0ri5, Depends on the app or if your hardware is defective
[07:17] <soundray> gumpish: so, use echo with the appropriate escape code
[07:17] <gumpish> :o
[07:17] <b0ri5> I had Firefox, Konversation, and terminal open when it completely froze.
[07:18] <SoulChild> hey guys : i habe this command that shows packages not included in gnome-core metapackage, how do i add ubunut-minmal to this command ? sudo aptitude search '!~RDepends:gnome-core ~i'
[07:18] <Enverex> b0ri5, So there's something wrong with your PC (hardware fault of some kind)
[07:18] <b0ri5> it responded to NOTHING. I had to unplug the computer. It happened twice already today.
[07:18] <Gorgapor> gumpish, are you talking about colors in gnome-terminal ?
[07:18] <soundray> b0ri5: since you're already convinced that Windows is more stable, why are you here?
[07:18] <Gorgapor> come on don't be mean soundray : )
[07:18] <b0ri5> Cause it sucks.
[07:18] <SoulChild> GUYS, i have this command that shows packages not included in gnome-core metapackage, how do i add ubuntu-minimal to this command ? sudo aptitude search '!~RDepends:gnome-core ~i'
[07:18] <gumpish> Gorgapor:  no, the tty1 - tty6....
[07:19] <Gorgapor> ok that
[07:19] <b0ri5> Ubuntu is much better, but I get weird problems.
[07:19] <kmaynard> b0ri5, are you being forced to use it?
[07:19] <Gorgapor> yeah maybe you can put an ANSI escape code in your bashrc
[07:19] <b0ri5> by myself
[07:19] <Gorgapor> never tried it, but it seems logical
[07:19] <genie> Quotation about Arabic characters , when I type Hello in Arabic three is a gaps between the "Haa" characters and "Laam"
[07:19] <kmaynard> just wondering who you should blame here...
[07:19] <DigitalNinja> I'm a gnome user. How do I install KDE with out breaking anything?
[07:19] <genie> any body know how to fix this?
[07:19] <soundray> Gorgapor: I'm just generally annoyed with people who think we'd like to listen to them slagging off Ubuntu, or, as the case may be, Windows.
[07:19] <genie> I have ubuntu 6.10
[07:19] <kmaynard> DigitalNinja, kubuntu-desktop
[07:19] <Gorgapor> i understand

[07:20] <Vaalth> hey, can anyone with ventrilo help me test it out?
[07:20] <Orfeous> vicente, how is it going?
[07:20] <genie> just wait
[07:20] <Vaalth> want to see if i got it working correctly under wine
[07:20] <genie> I will let you know

[07:20] <Drake> hello
[07:20] <vicente> Orfeous, I GOT IT
[07:20] <b0ri5> I agree, just I have these random problems
[07:21] <vicente> Orfeous, HOT DAMN!!!!!!
[07:21] <genie> Default
[07:21] <SoulChild> GUYS, i have this command that shows packages not included in gnome-core metapackage, how do i add ubuntu-minimal to this command ? sudo aptitude search '!~RDepends:gnome-core ~i'
[07:21] <genie> I am using default
[07:21] <Orfeous> vicente, ;)
[07:21] <kmaynard> b0ri5, i had problems with bad RAM in the past...replaced it, all was well
[07:21] <jrib> SoulChild: what do you mean by "add ubuntu-minimal to this command"?
[07:21] <neighborlee> b0ri5, my issues were bad ram.
[07:21] <Drake> neighborlee: no linux is not perfect if it was nobody would develop things for it anymore
[07:21] <neighborlee> b0ri5, once fixed,,all my issues *( MOST of them ) went away I found
[07:22] <SoulChild> jrib: this command shows packages that are not in gnome-core, i also don't want to see the packages that are included in ubuntu-minmal
[07:22] <neighborlee> Drake, I was being a tad facetious ;00
[07:22] <soundray> trpr: all those that build-essential depends on.
[07:22] <EADG> Somebody know the command to hide joins/parts/quits in irssi? I can't find it in /set.
[07:22] <Drake> neighborlee: I know i was jocking also
[07:22] <vicente> Orfeous, the repositories have jackd and xmms-jack available grab those
[07:22] <neighborlee> Drake, lol
[07:22] <trpr> soundray: hrm. i am not sure what i am working with here. there are lots of calls to cout, etc, which are unrecognized
[07:22] <sacater> EADG, have you tried the irssi website or help
[07:23] <trpr> soundray: but it is very important i get this code to compile so i can get working on it :\

[07:23] <jrib> SoulChild: instead of "gnome-core", write "ubuntu-minimal"?  Is this what you mean?
[07:23] <Lr5> EADG: try #irssi
[07:23] <b0ri5> I'll memtest the RAM later. Could it be because of ESD?
[07:23] <trpr> soundray: but yeah, build-essential is definitely something i already have installed
[07:23] <SoulChild> jrib: no i don't want to see both meta-packages
[07:23] <Orfeous> vicente, allready installed
[07:23] <Drake> anyway i need some tryng to run a script and it give : bash: ./_setup: No such file or directory
[07:23] <EADG> sacater: I looked at a couple websites. Not at help though.
[07:23] <jrib> SoulChild: don't use sudo to search btw
[07:23] <grindar> does anyone know what directory azureus puts .torrents in by default?
[07:24] <SoulChild> hmm okay ... and what else ?
[07:24] <jrib> SoulChild: http://people.debian.org/~dburrows/aptitude-doc/en/ch02s03.html#searchBrokenType have you seen this?
[07:24] <sacater> EADG: always check the help :P
[07:24] <jrib> SoulChild: ignore the anchor
[07:24] <EADG> Lr5: will do.
[07:24] <SoulChild> what is anchor ?
[07:24] <SoulChild> jrib: ?
[07:24] <jrib> SoulChild: the #searchBrokenType thing
[07:24] <Drake>  i need some help trying to run a script and it give : bash: ./_setup: No such file or directory
[07:24] <zumi> !sudo
[07:24] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:25] <Drake> any idea
[07:25] <zumi> !gedit
[07:25] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code
[07:25] <Lr5> is there any way to "link" some windows so that if I click one, also the other pops up?
[07:25] <soundray> trpr: once your system has build-essential and dependencies, any remaining problems are down to the code you are compiling.
[07:25] <Helmi> anyone around with experiences regarding codepage/charset-problems using samba?
[07:25] <SoulChild> jrib i think u dind't understand me
[07:26] <trpr> soundray: bleh. i am positive it is my setup that is flawed. i doubt very much my professor would give me a framework that doesn't compile :(
[07:26] <genie> hello every body, I have problem with Arabic in Ubuntu 6.10; gaps occur between some characters in Arabic, example: Hello in Arabic
[07:26] <jrib> SoulChild: I did and since I don't know off the top of my head, I linked you to the documentation that explains how to do what you want
[07:26] <mirak> what is the necessary amount of disc space to hibernate ?
[07:26] <genie> any body know how to fix this?
[07:26] <kmaynard> genie, English :)
[07:26] <SoulChild> jrib: ahhh okay
[07:27] <genie> there is a gaps between characters
[07:27] <Vaalth> anyone with ventrilo able to connect to a server and help me test something?>
[07:27] <genie> it should be no gaps
[07:27] <Gorgapor> genie, i know that few people use arabic in ubuntu
[07:27] <SoulChild> jrib: i missed the reference ... thanks
[07:27] <jrib> SoulChild: I /think/ this would do it: aptitude search '!(~RDepends:gnome-core|~RDepends:ubuntu-minimal)~i'
[07:27] <Gorgapor> i've tried to get help with japanese and chinese input, and it's hard to find
[07:27] <genie> ?
[07:27] <mirak> what is the necessary amount of disc space to hibernate ?
[07:27] <Drake>  i need some help trying to run a script and it give : bash: ./_setup: No such file or directory
[07:27] <b0ri5> I cannot install any superkaramba theme. I get this msg:
[07:27] <b0ri5> Error reading file 53490-calgadget.theme from zip
[07:27] <b0ri5> Could not read config file.
[07:27] <soundray> mirak: your swap partition should be as big as your RAM. No extra space is needed outside swap.
[07:27] <wick2o> but when i try and install the debconf gives me errors and says these files that i modified are corrupt
[07:28] <wick2o> anyone here customize their own install cd with a different preseed or some such?  I follow the online guide and fix the ubuntu-keyring...and i also do a sudo find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sudo tee md5sum.txt to update the new hashes
[07:28] <dabbler> \quit
[07:28] <mirak> soundray: what ???
[07:28] <genie> I want to know this problem from font or input method?
[07:28] <Lr5> mirak: with no experience about that, I'd say you need same disk space than ram memory is used
[07:28] <mirak> soundray: how can it use the swap to hibernate ?
[07:28] <b0ri5> Does anyone have an idea why I get the error msg:
[07:28] <b0ri5> Error reading file 53490-calgadget.theme from zip
[07:28] <b0ri5> Could not read config file.
[07:28] <mirak> soundray: and only the swap by the way
[07:28] <wick2o> b0ri5: zip file is corrupt?
[07:28] <b0ri5> but it's the same for every theme?
[07:29] <Gorgapor> genie, well you could try different fonts and see if that changes the problem
[07:29] <genie> I do
[07:29] <soundray> mirak: extend me some courtesy and read up on your assumptions before you second-guess my advice.
[07:29] <wick2o> b0ri5: purhaps you have an older version and the file was zipped with a newer version?
[07:29] <genie> in fact I install all fonts from windows to linux
[07:29] <genie> no use
[07:29] <mbac> is there a way to disable the startup/login sounds?
[07:29] <genie> in windows working fine, but some gaps in linux
[07:30] <jrib> mbac: system > preferences > sounds
[07:30] <b0ri5> wick2o: am i installing themes correctly? I click on "New Stuff", download a random theme, and get the exact error msg with any theme.
[07:30] <mirak> soundray: it's already done. I can explain you why I think it's not accurate
[07:30] <xushi_> hi all
[07:30] <genie> hi
[07:30] <mbac> oh, i mean before logging in
[07:30] <wick2o> b0ri5: that i dont know...im more of a termial person
[07:30] <wick2o> i ssh into all my linux boxes
[07:30] <jrib> mbac: the drums?
[07:30] <mbac> yeah
[07:30] <jrib> mbac: system > administration > login window
[07:30] <xushi_> I can't for the life of me manage to boot ubuntu, kubuntu, or xubuntu on this old machine.. After choosing to boot from the livecd, i get a blank page with blinking cursor on top right. I googled a lot but only found unanswerd questions or different problems
[07:30] <soundray> mbac: System-Admin-Login Window-Accessibility
[07:31] <mirak> soundray: where do you put the data from the swap then ?
[07:31] <b0ri5> how do u install superkaramba themes then?
[07:31] <mbac> haha
[07:31] <xushi_> my gfx card is a Geforce fx 5200 (128Mb)
[07:31] <soundray> mirak: go on then
[07:31] <wick2o> xushi_: i know what this is
[07:31] <wick2o> you need to boot from a windows 98 cd with cdrom support
[07:31] <soundray> mirak: I'm not here to answer rhetorical questions
[07:31] <xushi_> o_o
[07:31] <wick2o> then goto /boot/linux and run linux.bat
[07:31] <ysop> hi can anyone help me to find my wine-directory ? i can open it in console in my home dir, but i cant see it in nautilus...
[07:31] <soundray> mirak: swap is hardly needed when the machine is suspended.
[07:31] <Lr5> Is there any method I could use the screen on my other laptop's (ubuntu 6.06 there, 6.10 here) screen as one of this computer?
[07:31] <Gorgapor> locate wine
[07:31] <wick2o> it has something to do with isolinux or something....i get that problem from time to time with old computers
[07:31] <Lr5> ysop: ctrl+h
[07:31] <jrib> ysop: it's ~/.wine  so nautilus won't show it unless you "show hidden directories"
[07:31] <xushi_> that's .. weird. but at least it's a shot =)
[07:32] <kleftisx> hello im trying to write a program in C++ under ubuntu but when i go to compile it i get so many errors. what else except gcc i can use to run the program???
[07:32] <xushi_> hmm, if i don't have a win98 bootable cd, what should i do ?
[07:32] <mbac> haha, silly people
[07:32] <jrib> kleftisx: did you try what I said?
[07:32] <mbac> i meant that i'm at the login prompt and want to stop the sound from playing so i don't disturb the office
[07:32] <mirak> soundray: the data in swap are not necessarily just performance cache, there can be data in it
[07:32] <wick2o> xushi_: download an image online...goto bootdisks.com or something
[07:32] <mbac> oh well, fuck it, let them suffer one more time
[07:32] <kleftisx> jrib : yes
[07:32] <xushi_> thanks wick2o

[07:33] <PriceChild> !automatix | ScotF
[07:33] <ubotu> ScotF: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe

[07:48] <NaPsTeR_> it ses i must specify the filesystem type. how?
[07:49] <wick2o> NaPsTeR_:  using the -t option
[07:49] <wick2o> -t vfat or -t ntfs (i think)

[07:53] <wick2o> NaPsTeR_: type umount /media/blah
[07:53] <reyn> Pici, mkay, thanks
[07:53] <Defdef> but after installing vmware player it automatically asks me for that .vmx file
[07:53] <wick2o> then remount it
[07:53] <HymnToLife> Defdef, then you need to have an existing VM to "play" it, google might help you to find one
[07:53] <wick2o> is the drive ntfs or fat32?
[07:53] <MarkCh> Defdef, go download VMware server. it lets you make vmx files easily.
[07:53] <soundray> Exal|away: why don't you just try it and come back if you have problems.
[07:54] <HymnToLife> you can also install vmware server, which will let you create one yourself
[07:54] <MarkCh> or you could search for an ubuntu 6.10 vmx in google
[07:54] <soundray> Exal|away: use the menus: System-Administration-Printing.
[07:54] <NaPsTeR_> i dunno
[07:54] <Exal|away> soundray: the problem is when I try to install a printer cups ask for a passwd, I type the passwd of the user which have sudo privileges but doesn't work
[07:55] <rbil> Defdef: better still ... go here and create one ... http://www.easyvmx.com/
[07:55] <wick2o> NaPsTeR_: well, you kinda need to know that...if its ntfs then your really only ever gonna get read only permissions
[07:55] <soundray> Exal|away: are you logged in as the user who has sudo privileges?
[07:55] <Exal|away> soundray: yes
[07:55] <NaPsTeR_> i think it is ntfs
[07:55] <NaPsTeR_> how can i get a fat32?
[07:56] <wick2o> you have to format the drive as fat32
[07:56] <wick2o> which means loose everything you have on the harddrive
[07:56] <wick2o> lose
[07:56] <wick2o> looose
[07:56] <soundray> Exal|away: which version of ubuntu is this?
[07:56] <NaPsTeR_> there is nothing on it
[07:56] <MarkCh> win
[07:56] <NaPsTeR_> how can i do it
[07:56] <NaPsTeR_> its a new drive

[08:02] <soundray> techie_: I said read the topic
i will try them again.... thanks
[08:02] <SoulChild> i habe problem writing the command ... cause it uses OR but there need to be AND between the meta-packages

[08:02] <lightenup> I can mount my DFS root...but its contents do not show up on ubuntu

[08:05] <jrib> EdgEy: sure why not.  I was just curious if it had ever worked, I don't really know what's going on atm
Are there books written on this bash shell. I imagine you could probably do "everything" once you know the commands!!!
[08:05] <EdgEy> jrib, i think it did
[08:05] <Terrasque> techie_: you could try reading http://www.linuxcommand.org/
[08:05] <soundray> Exal|away: people here are always coming and going -- please ask again in an hour or so. Eventually you'll find someone who can help.
[08:05] <rbil> techie_: here's an interesting read ... an old standard ... http://rute.2038bug.com/rute.html.gz
very interesting.
[08:05] <soundray> Exal|away: you could even ask again now. Be specific about what the problem is.
[08:05] <techie_> rbil thanks.
[08:05] <mbac> does Add/Remove Applications have a package that installs a full C/C++ toolchain or do I have to go through the apt-get install libstd-devel, etc.?
[08:05] <kelsin> techie_: yes, you should look at the tutorials listed in the /topic of the #bash channel. There are also ploenty of books. The run I recomend is an O'Reilly book about bash
[08:06] <kelsin> mbac: the build-essential package does that

[08:10] <EdgEy> it's the nvidia control panel, has a GUI for setting up resolution
[08:10] <starcraft> uh, kelsin not sure what you mean ><, as far as I know I'm the only one that posted my xorg conf and another person bumped me...

[08:22] <Pici> MojoWork: I'm not sure what to tell you, I'm sure that theres some information in the dpkg man pages, but I'm not sure what you need
[08:22] <Bostonguy> SOundray: would I just use XP to do a repair install?
[08:22] <usd> thanks!
[08:23] <EdgEy> jrib, when using galeon, i get an error in terminal
[08:23] <PocketIRC> soundray: ok as I said before but..backwards then :)
[08:23] <jrib> EdgEy: what error?
[08:23] <Lr5> Anyone ever used Xdmx?
[08:23] <EdgEy> jrib, VM did not start up properly
[08:23] <knoppix> hello
[08:23] <knoppix> wazzup?
[08:23] <MojoWork> Pici: yeah thanks anyway. it's not that important ;)
[08:23] <EdgEy> jrib, Could not start JavaVM!
[08:23] <Lr5> I'm having trouble getting it to work
[08:23] <soundray> PocketIRC: so, you do 'sudo apt-get install ssh' on edgy, then you can puttyssh to it by giving it the edgy machine's IP address
[08:23] <Lr5> (Fatal Error) dmx: dmxOpenDisplay: Unable to open display <IP_ADDRESS>:0
[08:23] <HiP_P> hmmmm https:// sites aint working anymore ....weird
[08:23] <jrib> EdgEy: k at least that's progress...  google for the exact error string.  If nothing useful turns up, ping me again
[08:23] <Pici> Bostonguy: If you can get to the windows recovery console, you'll want to use the command `fixmbr` that will restore things to the windows bootloader
[08:24] <jrib> ardchoille: hey, do you happen to be Ardchoille2 on the forums?
[08:24] <soundray> Bostonguy: you won't want to, anyway. The grub installation will discover your WIndows installation and offer a boot option for it.
[08:24] <PocketIRC> soundray: dont they have to be in the same network for that?
[08:24] <AlteredBeast> i need a bit of help getting my mysql visible
[08:24] <soundray> Bostonguy: failing that, you can configure this from ubuntu.
[08:24] <Bostonguy> Pici: Thanks! I was thinking of the fdisk option to fix the mbr, but didnt notice until now that X doesnt even have fdisk (at least not on the system I'm using right now at work)
[08:24] <AlteredBeast> i have msyql installed and mysqladmin works with localhost
[08:25] <AlteredBeast> but when I try to connect with mysqladmin from another machine
[08:25] <soundray> PocketIRC: yes, generally computers have to be in the same network if you want them to communicate ;)
[08:25] <AlteredBeast> it immediately says it isn't available
[08:25] <AlteredBeast> seems like a firewall issue, but ubuntu doesn't have firewall by default, right?
[08:25] <soundray> PocketIRC: do you have a firewall or something between the machines?
[08:26] <PocketIRC> soundray: oh..but I have connected to a computer in another network from home once..how did that work?
[08:26] <Thorac> any ideas about running installation problem on ubuntu 6.10
[08:26] <PocketIRC> soundray:no firewall
[08:26] <soundray> AlteredBeast: you have to edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf to enable network access to your mysql server
[08:26] <soundray> AlteredBeast: the lamp page has more info:
[08:26] <soundray> !lamp > AlteredBeast
[08:27] <AlteredBeast> great, thanks!
[08:27] <MojoWork> Pici: ah! figured it out. the repository has it in edgy-backports
[08:27] <ardchoille> jrib: Yes, that's me.
[08:27] <AlteredBeast> i just did a port scan and it seems ubuntu is running a firewall?
[08:27] <MojoWork> and i hadn't enabled that
[08:27] <cefx> !vhost
[08:27] <MojoWork> Pici: thanks man
[08:27] <cefx> !vhosts
[08:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vhost - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:27] <cefx> damnit.
[08:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vhosts - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:27] <AlteredBeast> but iptables doesn't seem to be up
[08:27] <AlteredBeast> ideas?
[08:27] <ardchoille> jrib: Actually, I am ardchoille42 on the forums and Ardchoille2 on the wiki and help docs.
[08:27] <soundray> AlteredBeast: iptables is a kernel component. It doesn't have to be "up"
[08:28] <soundray> !firewall > AlteredBeast
[08:28] <cefx> Does anyone know what I need to do on an Ubuntu box when I've registered a domain name, created the nameserver records, and all of that done?  When I try to use the hostname with my Ubuntu box, it defaults to the other hostname rather than the one I want it to use.
[08:28] <soundray> PocketIRC: how are your two machines connected to the internet?
[08:28] <AlteredBeast> but the init.d script isn't entered into any run level
[08:28] <jrib> ardchoille: may I /msg?
[08:28] <ardchoille> jrib: Sure.
[08:28] <PocketIRC> soundray : wlan
[08:28] <AlteredBeast> i'll check out the link, thanks!
[08:28] <cefx> Is it just /etc/hosts or something?
[08:28] <soundray> PocketIRC: are they both on the same router?
[08:29] <WaZ_> !es
[08:29] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[08:29] <PocketIRC> soundray: No..when they are it works fine.
[08:29] <soundray> PocketIRC: what's the problem then?
[08:30] <Valroadie> !slap
[08:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about slap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:30] <PocketIRC> soundray: I want to do the same thing from home where they are not on the same router
[08:30] <cefx> Anyone...? Do I just need to edit /etc/hosts to use a vhost if all the work is already done on the nameservers and on the domain name side?
[08:31] <soundray> PocketIRC: more detail please
[08:31] <kachehi> karina123
[08:32] <soundray> cefx: /etc/hostname
[08:32] <cefx> ok, what's hosts for?
[08:32] <thcmonkey> anyone tell me how to install amsn.96 ?
[08:32] <soundray> cefx: local name-to-IP lookup
[08:32] <mbac> cefx, why do you need to use /etc/hosts if the nameservers all have the appropriate entries?
[08:32] <[Jonne] > hosts allows you to override what's in the dns
[08:32] <PocketIRC> soundray: I want to reach my computer running ubuntu from another compueter running xp. The computers are miles away from eachother.
[08:32] <[Jonne] > add a line like this:
[08:33] <cefx> mbac: I have tried to use that hostname on irssi on this machine, and it defaults to another vhost.
[08:33] <[Jonne] > <IP_ADDRESS> www.microsoft.com
[08:33] <WaZ_> !pastebin >WaZ_
[08:33] <cefx> ok...
[08:33] <cefx> hmm
[08:33] <cefx> gonna try something else
[08:33] <[Jonne] > and whenever you go to microsoft.com, you'll end up on your own computer
[08:33] <mbac> cefx, are you trying to set up a vanity hostname?
[08:33] <cefx> there's already a nameserver record pointing at this ip
[08:33] <soundray> PocketIRC: you have said that already. I have asked for more detail. You're going to have to be a tad smarter about this.
[08:33] <raven3x7> hey guys im curious. is kvm virtualization fast enough to play 3d games with a virtualized version of Windows?
[08:33] <Verilium> Hi there.  DST-wise, I'm noticing the Canada/Eastern zone for example, seems fine, and 'll switch over on March 11th, but the EST5DST timezone on the other hand, still seems to be listing a change on april 1st?  Is this normal in any way?
[08:34] <cefx> mbac: I own a domain name.  I am using xname.org and pointing said domain name to the IP of a desktop I work at.
[08:34] <Enverex> raven3x7, Pretty sure 3D isn't supported yet
[08:34] <PocketIRC> soundray: : / what details do u want?
[08:34] <cefx> But it already has a hostname pointing to its ip, and when I try to use the domain name I registered, it does not allow me to do so.
[08:34] <soundray> PocketIRC: how are they connected to the internet?
[08:34] <SeanTater> I want to run a Linux distribution in a window (I don't want to restart, install, partition..), what is the best way to do that? (qemu?) Maybe a wiki page?
[08:34] <mbac> cefx, how are you using the domain name you registered?
[08:35] <cefx> mbac: xname.org
[08:35] <Enverex> SeanTater, Kinda defeats the purpose of Linux but you could use any VM
[08:35] <mbac> irssi -h?
[08:35] <cefx> yes.
[08:35] <cefx> irssi -h and tried --hostname= too
[08:35] <PocketIRC> soundray: wlan to a router..
[08:35] <raven3x7> Enverex, pitty. I hope its something that will be possible in the future though. Although because of intel macs we might actually see more OpenGl games again
[08:35] <mbac> cefx, what's the domain name?
[08:35] <soundray> PocketIRC: do you notice we're going around in circles?
[08:36] <cefx> partisansec.org
[08:36] <cheeseboy16> how do i get wireless to work on ubuntu?
[08:36] <PocketIRC> soundray: yeah..kind of felt that..
[08:36] <soundray> !wireless > cheeseboy16, read the private message from ubotu.
[08:36] <WaZ_> !wifi
[08:36] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:36] <zumi> !nforce
[08:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nforce - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:36] <lutrox> Whats this? I can not connect to irc.euirc.net on port 6667 oO
[08:36] <soundray> PocketIRC: so, are you going to give me the information I need in order to give you the help you want?
[08:37] <mbac> cefx, you see how host partisansec.org resolves to <IP_ADDRESS>?
[08:37] <cefx> Yes
[08:37] <cefx> that's my machine
[08:37] <mbac> an irc server has no idea what your hostname is, what it does know is your ip
[08:37] <zumi> can you help me in query how to enable sound output?
[08:37] <cefx> Ok
[08:37] <mbac> so it reverse resolves your IP to Mblast.cs.Dal.Ca.
[08:37] <cefx> right
[08:37] <cefx> okay
[08:37] <cefx> makes sense.
[08:37] <soundray> !sound > zumi, read the private message from ubotu
[08:38] <PocketIRC> soundtray: I am trying :( don't think I really understand exactly what information you are looking for...
[08:38] <mbac> cefx, whoever owns that IP has to update the PTR record for it if you want reverse resolution to match the forward resolution of partisansec.org
[08:38] <cefx> For a v6 entry though, is Scope: Global or Scope:Link the one I want?
[08:38] <cefx> allright
[08:38] <zumi> thank you soundray!!!!
[08:38] <cefx> thanks :)
[08:38] <soundray> PocketIRC: how are the two machines connected to the internet?
[08:39] <mbac> cefx, so, the sys admin for dal.ca, most likely
[08:39] <cefx> yeah
[08:39] <cefx> I just needed to know that bit about the reverse/forward
[08:39] <mbac> they may or may not do it, depending on how nice they are ;)
[08:39] <cefx> thankya
[08:39] <PocketIRC> soundray: I want to say via wireless router but I guess you want something else...
[08:39] <soundray> PocketIRC: so what is it that doesn't work?
[08:40] <Dubstar_04> Anyone use mythtv?
[08:40] <soundray> Dubstar_04: no, I prefer vdr
[08:40] <Pici> PocketIRC: I've only been following your problem a little, but it sounds like you need for forward port 22 through your routers
[08:41] <Dubstar_04> Thats cool you maybe able to help
[08:41] <soundray> Dubstar_04: but this channel is off-topic for surveys.
[08:41] <HiP_P> ahhh sorry found it on the forums. laters all
[08:41] <PocketIRC> soundray: Hmm perhaps I should try to reformulate the question... Is there a way to control a computer with SSH over the internet, not local network?
[08:41] <kestaz> skype under wine ? isn't bad thing ?
[08:41] <HiP_P> skype has a debian  package
[08:41] <Dubstar_04> No i need help with a sound device changing at reboot
[08:41] <soundray> PocketIRC: yes. You have to give the ssh client the IP address of the remote machine (the one you want to control)
[08:42] <PocketIRC> Pici: Why 22?
[08:43] <soundray> Dubstar_04: I doubt I can help, but do describe the problem -- someone else might jump at it.
[08:43] <niekie> Anyone know what I need to apt-get to get a "base64" program that'll encode stuff in base64?
[08:43] <minttea> PocketIRC: that's the port that ssh uses
[08:43] <Drake>  i need some help trying to run a script and it give : bash: ./_setup: No such file or directory
[08:43] <PocketIRC> soundray: hm ok thanks
[08:44] <PocketIRC> minttea: Ok thanks
[08:45] <Drake> so anyidea?
[08:45] <Anohaakten> hey can someone help me with installing kiba-dock?
[08:45] <Anohaakten> I need to get the repositories for it
[08:46] <Anohaakten> anyone know?
[08:46] <sharperguy> is it possible to add additional custom emocations to gaim? (2.00beta6)
[08:46] <Drake> why when i try to run a script it give : bash: ./_setup: No such file or directory
[08:47] <PocketIRC> Anohaakten: think there is a howto at ubuntuforums.org
[08:47] <soundray> niekie: there is a perl tool in package fml. Package sharutils has uudecode/uuencode.
[08:47] <soundray> Drake: what is that setup for?
[08:48] <Drake> soundray: softimage XSI
[08:49] <soundray> Drake: where did you put the download -- is it on the desktop?
[08:49] <Drake> soundray: At first yes but after i put it in /var/tmp
[08:49] <Drake> soundray: but nothing changed
[08:50] <soundray> Drake: then you'll have to 'cd /var/tmp ; chmod 700 _setup ; ./_setup' (if _setup is really the name of the file)
[08:50] <Drake> I tun the same script on another Ubuntu ad it works fine
[08:50] <omglazers> Anyone here mind helping me edit the GRUB to direct to partitions properly?
[08:51] <Drake> soundray: actually it is 755
[08:51] <soundray> Drake: is that what it currently is, or are you correcting me?
[08:52] <Drake> soundray: is that what it currently is
[08:52] <Drake> soundray: i thing it should work no?
[08:52] <soundray> Drake: then you won't have to change it. Just leave out the chmod command

[08:54] <Drake> soundray: so are we stuck?
[08:54] <roler> how do I get my back and forward buttons working in ubuntu on my mouse?

[08:54] <mbac> wow, the build dependencies for gnash are endless
[08:54] <omglazers> Can anyone tell me how to mount my drives in the LiveCD boot of ubuntu? I can't fix something preventing my machine from booting
[08:55] <jrib> mbac: isn't gnash in the repositories?
[08:55] <dreamerdude> ignoreing your sarcasm, the dvd works fine on a dvd player
[08:55] <cberlo> Hi folks!  Playing around with PXE Grub today, trying to automate installs.  Anyone know of a way to set a variable based on IP address in grub?
[08:55] <mbac> jrib, i couldn't find it
[08:55] <jrib> !info gnash | mbac
[08:55] <ubotu> mbac: gnash: free Flash movie player. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.2-1~edgy1 (edgy-backports), package size 117 kB, installed size 216 kB
[08:55] <jrib> mbac: you using edgy?
[08:55] <soundray> dreamerdude: seriously, have you tried another DVD? Something might have changed in your setup.
[08:55] <mbac> yeah
[08:55] <jrib> mbac: have you enabled universe?
[08:56] <roler> thanks guys
[08:56] <mbac> hahahahaha
[08:56] <dreamerdude> i tried another old one (human traffic) and it worked
[08:56] <_chill> hi #ubuntu !
[08:56] <mbac> i searched for it in Add/remove programs and since it wasn't there i didn't think to try apt-get install gnash
[08:56] <shof2k> hello _chill
[08:56] <Drake> soundray: always the same bash: ./_setup: No such file or directory
[08:56] <waspius> hey..i have installed all packaged for beryl..i followed http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Debian#Configure_xorg.conf...the top part i hope i am correct..not sure...and i need to add it to the session manager..how do i do that..and how do i check if i installed the right files?
[08:56] <_chill> I have a simple question ! When start the ubuntu project ? 2k3 or 2k4 ?
[08:57] <soundray> Drake: did you do the 'cd /var/tmp'?
[08:57] <jrib> mbac: yeah add/remove doesn't always list everything,  the synaptic frontend does
[08:57] <fatih> yardm edebilicek var m :S ?
[08:57] <mbac> jrib, hmm, that might be a useful feature to add
[08:57] <Drake> soundray:  yes of course
[08:57] <fatih> yardm edebilicek var m :S ?
[08:57] <soundray> Drake: is the _setup file there? Check with 'ls'
[08:58] <Pici> waspius: Any particular reason you are using the Debian install howto?
[08:58] <Drake> soundray:  yes of course
[08:58] <mbac> add/remove programs might want to just put a link at the end of the listing that says "171 packages not shown [more information...] "
[08:58] <waspius> Pici: i have debian installed
[08:58] <Drake> soundray: in fact i cannot understand
[08:58] <soundray> Drake: try 'bash _setup'
[08:59] <jrib> mbac: in the top right corner of add/remove do you have a drop down menu with "supported applications"?
[08:59] <fatih> yardm edebilicek var m :S ?
[08:59] <mbac> jrib, i have it "All available applications"
[08:59] <jrib> mbac: k, well just so you know, gnash shows up in feisty
[08:59] <waspius> Pici: any ideas?
[08:59] <Drake> soundray: _setup: _setup: cannot execute binary file
[09:00] <Pici> waspius: As you can see we are in the #ubuntu channel.  Unfortunatly, I dont have experience installing beryl under Debian.
[09:00] <R3M4X> hi all
[09:00] <waspius> Pici: ok..do u know though what i need to edit so i can have beryl as an option in window manager?
[09:01] <soundray> Drake: give me a minute
[09:01] <Pici> waspius: I'm guessing that its something in your gdm.conf file, but thats a geuss
[09:01] <mbac> jrib, is there a good reason not to show, say build-essential if someone keyword searches 'C compiler'?
[09:01] <luiX_> quit
[09:01] <Drake> soundray: ok
[09:01] <matej> is there something like gamespy in LINUX?
[09:01] <waspius> ok thanx
[09:01] <mbac> hmm, build-essential doesn't have the word compiler in the text blob

[09:05] <con-man> how do I change the player that firefox uses to play embedded videos
[09:05] <Judicata> My USB printer suddenly stopped working, after months of working great.  Shows up on dmesg and lsusb.  Any ideas?
[09:06] <napec> ello
[09:06] <Judicata> Btw, gnome-cups-add doesn't detect it.
[09:06] <soundray> Drake: same error if you run '/var/tmp/_setup'?
[09:06] <napec> i new

[09:07] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:07] <Drake> soundray: yes
[09:07] <vicente> im back
[09:07] <vicente> and better than ever
[09:07] <Drake> soundray: I tried with csh tcsh exec ..... always the same
[09:08] <Drake> soundray: I had . to PATH
[09:08] <soundray> Drake: have you still got the package? Is it called "XSI-6.0-linux.tar.gz"?
[09:08] <con-man> how do I change the player that firefox uses to play embedded videos
[09:08] <Drake> soundray:  yes i have
[09:08] <jrib> con-man: remove the one you don't want, install the one you want
[09:08] <soundray> Drake: are there any other files in that package?
[09:09] <Drake> soundray:  yes there are other files
[09:09] <soundray> Drake: have you put them all in /var/tmp, or just the _setup?
[09:10] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to run a shell script, which I can do fine in a terminal.    I'm using 6.06 with GNOME.  I've made the icon, but all I see is a flash of a terminal.  The script has a read-p at the end (so I can see the script output) but I'm not prompted.  What gives?
[09:10] <crdlb> con-man, look in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and remove the ones you don't want
[09:10] <mbac> hahah, i wonder why they ripped my name out of gnome-dictionary credits
[09:10] <|GaiJin|> anyone here running cedega under ubuntu Edgy... Having some questions about the 2D accelleration...
[09:10] <Drake> soundray:  I moved the tarball there and then I extracted it there
[09:10] <|GaiJin|> errr... 3d accell
[09:10] <Pici> craigbass1976: Make sure that the 'run in terminal' option in the icon properties is checked.
[09:10] <con-man> crdlb: now, is there a vlc plugin for firefox?
[09:11] <mbac> oh well
[09:11] <soundray> Drake: no errors during the extraction step?
[09:11] <con-man> wait
[09:11] <con-man> found it
[09:11] <crdlb> craigbass1976, put something at the end of the script that will stay open, such as "cat"
[09:11] <crdlb> con-man, personally I like the mplayerplug-in better than the vlc plugin
[09:11] <Drake> soundray: no error
[09:12] <craigbass1976> but the script (I'm checking for the thigns it should have done) isn't working either.
[09:13] <mbac> sun keeps saying they open sourced java, but i still haven't seen the full sun jvm/jdk appear in the official debian packages (i know it's available in non-free/multiverse/etc.)
[09:13] <mbac> i guess this means sun hasn't actually open sourced the entire thing?
[09:13] <soundray> Drake: did you use 'tar zxf XSI-6.0-linux.tar.gz' to extract?
[09:13] <vicente> anyone here have something really cool they like about ubuntu in particular that i should install
[09:13] <Drake> soundray: yes
[09:13] <mbac> vicentre, pymol makes you look like some kind of genius
[09:13] <con-man> damn, vlc cant play embedded wmv files in firefox
[09:14] <soundray> mbac: the process isn't complete yet
[09:14] <soundray> Drake: it should have created a directory /var/tmp/XSI-6.0-linux -- has it?
[09:15] <Rembane> How do I change keymap to one that gives me the swedish letters I want?
[09:15] <Botamis> Hello, I installed unbuntu and after the first restart the X server failed. How do I fix this?
[09:16] <soundray> Rembane: system-preferences-keyboard-layouts
[09:16] <Rembane> soundray: Console.
[09:16] <FunnyLookinHat> Botamis, in a console:    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:16] <Rembane> soundray: Sorry for forgetting to mention that.
[09:16] <FunnyLookinHat> Guess what your values are as best you can
[09:16] <Botamis> ok i'll try that
[09:16] <soundray> Drake: hello?
[09:17] <Thug-N-Me> when`s the new ubuntu out ?
[09:17] <FunnyLookinHat> !feisty
[09:17] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha.

[09:17] <soundray> Rembane: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[09:17] <Thug-N-Me> FunnyLookinHat cheers
[09:17] <FunnyLookinHat> Thug-N-Me,   : )
[09:19] <soundray> Drake: still here?
[09:20] <Drake> soundray:  yesw it has created it
[09:20] <Drake> soundray: sorry it was the phone
[09:20] <soundray> Drake: what do you get from 'cd /var/tmp/XSI-6.0-linux ; ./setup'?
[09:21] <soundray> Rembane: got it?
[09:21] <Botamis> FunnyLookinHat: I've been going through these steps and now i'm back to the console..
[09:21] <Drake> soundray: exec: 9: /var/tmp/XSI-6.0-linux/_setup: not found

[09:22] <Botamis> Funny: Fatal screen error
[09:22] <kimmern>  Hey! I've got a new laptop with 2gb intel centrino duo, and 512mb nvidia geforce..my question is why minimize and maximize animations on windows arn't running smoothly? I have the newest nvidia drivers, and my laptop should be good enough to make this animations run smooth..any tips for us nvidia users?
[09:22] <FunnyLookinHat> Botamis, ouch.
[09:22] <GenieHost> run this command
[09:22] <GenieHost> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:22] <soundray> Drake: are you root?
[09:22] <Botamis> I've done that Genie
[09:22] <FunnyLookinHat> GenieHost, could you help Botamis     I have to run to class....
[09:22] <Drake> soundray: yes
[09:22] <Botamis> Bye funny
[09:22] <GenieHost> still not working?
[09:22] <FunnyLookinHat> Botamis, my guess is that you just picked a wrong value in there somewhere
[09:22] <Botamis> Correct
[09:22] <Botamis> probably
[09:22] <Botamis> cya man
[09:22] <Botamis> anyway genie
[09:22] <Botamis> this has worked once
[09:22] <GenieHost> select all default and should fix it for you
[09:23] <Rembane> soundray: I think so.
[09:23] <Botamis> i just kept hitting enter
[09:23] <omglazers> Anyone know anything about GRUB Error 17: 'Cannot Mount Selected partition' ? It seems to be unable to mount a simple ext3 partition and I have NO clue why. Help, please :(
[09:23] <EdgEy> can anyone here help me with a java problem, it's installed but webpages don't show applets, and Galeon gives me a 'Could not start JavaVM!' error
[09:23] <soundray> Drake: what do you get from 'ls /var/tmp/XSI-6.0-linux/_setup'?
[09:23] <Botamis> Genie: It failed once and then it worked the next time. I was able to install beryl and then when I went to restart it failed again.

[09:25] <denis_on_ubuntu> hey guys - question - i have NVIDIA card on my laptop, and the drivers seem to be installed, but even pressing "shut down" gives a "laggy" step by step transition of the "shut down fade" effect in the background. How do I get my Nvidia to work "cleanly"?
[09:25] <soundray> Drake: that's the problem. It will only work on i386, not on x64
[09:25] <Botamis> Genie: I went through what you said again and I'm back to console.
[09:25] <Drake> soundray:  but shoudn lt matter as i installed on a 64 gentoo
[09:25] <Botamis> Genie: now what?
[09:25] <Botamis> startx?
[09:26] <Botamis> Genie: It worked! Why though when it is starting it has problems with the background, it's staticy?
[09:26] <soundray> Drake: your 64bit gentoo will be a mixed installation with 32-bit libraries. You can try forcind 32bit libs on your system, but it's not recommended.

[09:27] <slippyr4> what is ubuntu server's preferred MTA?
[09:27] <gordonjcp> morpheusdreams: cd ~/Desktop/
[09:27] <morpheusdreams> thank you :)
[09:28] <gordonjcp> morpheusdreams: the "~" translates to /home/(your username)
[09:28] <Slart_> morpheusdreams: ~ is short for my home dir.. usually /home/username
[09:28] <slippyr4> morpheusdreams, as gordonjcp said, but note that ....
[09:28] <slippyr4> gah,gordonjcp said it quicker
[09:28] <gordonjcp> morpheusdreams: think of /home as being very roughly like C:/documentsandsettings/
[09:28] <Slart_> but with backslash... ;)
[09:28] <morpheusdreams> Thank you all for your responses!
[09:29] <morpheusdreams> heh
[09:29] <pauldaoust> ho boy. I'm stuck in 640x480 mode and getting claustrophobic. I haven't touched the xorg.conf file, haven't installed any new packages (or upgraded any old ones), or replaced any hardware. Any ideas?
[09:29] <pauldaoust> nVidia GeForce FX5200, analogue LCD panel, Ubuntu Dapper
[09:29] <Slart_> pauldaoust: that's why you have 640x480.. you have to touch all kinds of stuff to get it higher =)
[09:30] <gordonjcp> pauldaoust: did you install the real genuine nvidia-glx drivers?
[09:30] <Slart_> pauldaoust: or you meant it was higher yesterday and just got this way recently?
[09:30] <slvmchn> yeah do you get the nvidia splash screen when you boot?
[09:30] <pauldaoust> Slart_, gordonjcp: yep, using official closed-source drivers. Fine yesterday -- no changes made -- screwy today.
[09:30] <pauldaoust> slvmchn: yep, I get the nVidia logo -- in 640x480 :-)
[09:30] <slvmchn> ahhaha
[09:30] <EdgEy> ah, jrib, lib-x11-6 was the problem incase you are interested, Konqueror gives a more descriptive error message. i downgraded lib-x11-6 and it works fine.
[09:30] <crdlb> pauldaoust, please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:30] <Slart_> hmm... doesn't usually do that.. without something happening
[09:30] <slvmchn> System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution?
[09:31] <slvmchn> once you get to the desktop
[09:31] <gumpish> Anyone know how to prevent the screen from blanking in tty1 through tty6? I tried setvesablank but it didn't help.

[09:31] <denis_on_ubuntu> hey guys - question - i have NVIDIA card on my laptop, and the drivers seem to be installed, but even pressing "shut down" gives a "laggy" step by step transition of the "shut down fade" effect in the background. How do I get my Nvidia to work "cleanly"?
[09:31] <Cyrus25801> what is the channel for sme server
[09:31] <Slart_> ahem... so can anyone recommend a good general purpose IDE for writing pything, perl, c/c++ stuff.. mostly smaller programs
[09:32] <slippyr4> denis_on_ubuntu: glxinfo | grep direct says what?
[09:32] <gumpish> eclipse w00t
[09:32] <kane77> Slart_, hmm.. anjuta? eclipse?
[09:32] <vicente> does anyone else use a custom font in gnome-terminal?
[09:32] <Slart_> eclipse didn't work the last time I installed it.. neither did Anjuta
[09:32] <gumpish> ...
[09:32] <pauldaoust> slvmchn: only one mode available
[09:32] <Slart_> or I have to get versions from the official sites?
[09:32] <kane77> Slart_, no, what exactly didnt work?
[09:33] <pauldaoust> Slart_: gedit. I love it for developing. Ha!

[09:33] <omglazers> Anyone know anything about GRUB Error 17: 'Cannot Mount Selected partition' ? It seems to be unable to mount a simple ext3 partition and I have NO clue why. Help, please :(
[09:33] <Slart_> kane77: hold on.. I'll try again. .last time I got a splash screen I think.. and then nothing
[09:33] <crdlb> pauldaoust, please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:33] <Slart_> pauldaoust: oh.. gedit isn't to bad, I use Scite text editor at the moment
[09:33] <pauldaoust> crdlb: working on it; pastebin is reallllly slow right now
[09:33] <crdlb> pauldaoust, use the ubuntu pastebin
[09:34] <slvmchn> pauldaoust: that's wierd, if you're getting the nvidia splash screen but only have one resolution, something's not right
[09:34] <slippyr4> omglazers, chances are it's trying to use a different partition to what you think it is
[09:34] <dyrne> omglazers: what does the partition show as hd0,0? or what
[09:34] <va1> Hey guys, while upgrading from dapper to edgy, I got a configure error for xfonts-intl-european ("usage error: unrecognized option"). Google didn't help me on this, any idea ?
[09:35] <pauldaoust> crdlb: found it. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9293/
[09:35] <va1> It's an error during the post-removal script
[09:35] <pauldaoust> crdlb: not sure if that's the Ubuntu pastebin you meant, but...
[09:35] <Slart_> hey.. why am I Slart_.. hmm.. ah.. 2 xchat windows open.. doh
[09:35] <omglazers> dyrne, slippyr4: The linux uses /dev/sda2, mapped as /hd2/ in the drivemap.. when I load grub, it gives me error 17 trying to boot to it. When I try to edit the root (hd2,0) command for it, the tab autocomplete shows as ,0) being the only accessable choice on hd2. All other hd2 choices just return error 22, no partition or something like that.
[09:35] <Slart> this is better
[09:35] <crdlb> pauldaoust, that's it (it's in the topic :) )
[09:35] <morpheusdreams> Argh i seem to suck at this. Am trying to install flash player but when navigating to the directory it says the directory doesnt exist?
[09:36] <pauldaoust> crdlb: dang. I shoulda read the topic :-S
[09:36] <Slart> morpheusdreams: case sensitive.. check your spelling
[09:36] <slippyr4> omglazers, how many other hard disks do you have?
[09:36] <Slart> morpheusdreams: /home/Slart isn't the same as /home/slart
[09:36] <morpheusdreams> yeah its all lower case :|
[09:36] <omglazers> slippyr4: 3 total; mapped as the first two under hd0 and hd1 when I last looked at the drivemap in grub
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> morpheusdreams@morpheusdreams:~/Desktop$ '/home/morpheusdreams/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux'
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> bash: /home/morpheusdreams/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux: is a directory
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> morpheusdreams@morpheusdreams:~/Desktop$ /home/morpheusdreams/Destop/install_flash_player_9_linux
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> bash: /home/morpheusdreams/Destop/install_flash_player_9_linux: No such file or directory
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> see ;_;
[09:37] <Slart> morpheusdreams: destop?
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> crap :|
[09:37] <Slart> morpheusdreams: use tab to autocomplete directories
[09:37] <omglazers> slippyr4: I should note; the grub is installed in the first partition on the disk
[09:37] <slippyr4> omglazers: from grub's point of view, hard disks are numbered in bios order. that is basically boot order. therefore, your boot drive, sda2, is /probably/ hd0 from grub's point of view
[09:37] <doomnx> hello guys
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> Slart, thank you :)
[09:37] <doomnx> i'm here again
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: I made a 50 meg partition, put it under /boot and put grub there rather than the MBR
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: Ahhh
[09:38] <rickympl> i'm trying to get an identd to work in linux, i followed the following tutorial i found for my distro http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227857&highlight=ident, but the identd won't start, it says starting, but doesnt
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: So I should try renaming it hd0 if im booting to it first?
[09:38] <denis_on_ubuntu> slippyr ->
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: =-O!!!!
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: I think you did it!!!
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: Thank you :D
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: Damn grub :P
[09:38] <doomnx> if anyone remembers me, i'm here for the offline nvidia driver installation. what files do i have to download? i've just installed ubuntu, nothing else. please help me
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: Score!!!
[09:39] <pauldaoust> crdlb: anything untoward? I did notice that the display device was recognised as CRT-0; I don't know if that means it wasn't detected properly through DPMS.... or what.
[09:39] <colbert> What is required for dual monitors to work? Do you have to have special kind of monitors or just any 2 monitors ??
[09:39] <omglazers> slippyr4: :D Thanks. I didnt realize it would change it like that. Should I just edit my grub's drivemap to make it hd0 from now on, or just change the acutal config file
[09:39] <pauldaoust> colbert: any old pair of monitors. However, you need a dual-head video card.
[09:39] <slippyr4> omglazers, no - just setup grub to use that drive, it'll still be sda2 from linux's point of view
[09:40] <pauldaoust> colbert: there are a lot of dual head cards out there; if you have one (rather than an onboard monitor port) you may very well have the appropriate hardware.
[09:40] <crdlb> pauldaoust, pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf for completeness
[09:40] <omglazers> slippyr4: Is that the 'setup' command ?
[09:40] <slippyr4> omglazers: enter grub console,
[09:40] <omglazers> slippyr4: Like, I would put under root, put setup (hd0) under the root?
[09:41] <VII> A really easy question, how do I style the top and bottom panel?
[09:41] <doomnx> any help would be greatly appreciated...
[09:41] <slippyr4> omglazers, root (hd0, and press tab  - what partitions are listed?
[09:41] <denis_on_ubuntu> .
[09:41] <omglazers> slippyr4: I already got it to work. Im in ubuntu.. 0, 2 and 4 were listed though. 0 was the proper place to boot to, and it worked fine
[09:41] <denis_on_ubuntu> SLIPPY ->  um, glxinfo | grep direct says "direct rendering: No"
[09:41] <omglazers> slippyr4: Im just wondering how to fix it in the future
[09:41] <pauldaoust> VII: right-click on an empty spot, then go 'Properties'. You should be able to change colour, transparency, size, etc.
[09:42] <colbert> so I have a ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, I must buy a new video card for 2 monitors ? That's the only way?
[09:42] <omglazers> slippyr4: How should I edit my grub so that this never happens again
[09:42] <VII> pauldaoust: thx!
[09:42] <pauldaoust> VII: no prob!
[09:42] <slippyr4> it won't happen again - nothing will change where grub is installed
[09:42] <pauldaoust> colbert: nope, a 9700 Pro should have two sockets
[09:42] <jk-> hi
[09:42] <slippyr4> i got to go now, glad it works for you
[09:42] <pauldaoust> colbert: so you should have the right stuff
[09:43] <pauldaoust> crdlb: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9294/
[09:43] <colbert> pauldaoust: Okay, so then I have 2 monitors, a samsung and NEC, do I just need a cable and what kind ?
[09:43] <Slart> ok.. eclipse doesn't start.. here's the log http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9295/
[09:43] <LadyNikon> evening
[09:43] <LadyNikon> anyone get office 2k7 running in ubuntu
[09:44] <LadyNikon> if you did was it wine or caldera?
[09:44] <pauldaoust> colbert: you just need a cable for each monitor, and plug them both into your video card. You may need a VGA to DVI adapter. And as for software... I've had nothing but headaches setting up drivers for ATI cards, even just with single-head, so I'll have to let someone else help you with the drivers.
[09:44] <colbert> wow its possible to get office2k7 going in ubuntu ?
[09:44] <LadyNikon> colbert: thats why i asked the question ;)
[09:45] <colbert> pauldaoust: lol, no prob, thanks though I didn't think I could but that's good news:)
[09:45] <colbert> LadyNikon: hehe, of course ;) Just a surprise to a noob like me
[09:45] <Xenguy> colbert: yeah, install virtualization, then run d0ze as a virtual machine where it belongs ;-)
[09:46] <LadyNikon> calavera: aah
[09:46] <crdlb> pauldaoust, you have two monitors?
[09:46] <LadyNikon> Xenguy: i dont wanna do a virtualization for office though
[09:46] <orange_> what happened to automatix site?
[09:47] <yomm> How can I get Xorg 7.2 on my Edgy ? compile ?
[09:47] <pauldaoust> crdlb: no; I did a while ago, but I don't anymore. It didn't seem to hurt to have the TwinView stuff in xorg.conf, even with only one monitor, so I left it in there.
[09:47] <colbert> Xenguy: What is virtualization? And I have made the whole switch to Ubuntu I am glad to say !
[09:47] <gnube> yomm did you check which version is available in Ubuntu?
[09:48] <yomm> gnube : current version is 7.1 i belive in Edgy
[09:48] <crdlb> pauldaoust, try commenting the twinview stuff out
[09:48] <gnube> yomm, If 7.2 is not available you have to download the source and compile it yourself
[09:48] <gnube> yomm, Are you trying to do beryl / compiz stuff?
[09:49] <frick> there's 7.2 howto with repos here
[09:49] <frick> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=373087
[09:49] <gnube> yomm, Or do you just want a different X server?
[09:49] <pauldaoust> LadyNikon: according to http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/group/?app_parent=1911 it looks like Office '07 hasn't been officially tested under Wine and Crossover Office, so it may not work yet.
[09:49] <yomm> gnube : I heard the i810 drivers are far better on 7.2
[09:49] <orange_> whats a good prog for monitoring network usage - similar to DUmeter
[09:49] <colbert> pauldaoust: So if I use my 2 monitors, will I see my desktop across both or will it work some other way? And is it a very complicated thing to do in Ubuntu?
[09:49] <Xenguy> colbert: like xen, vmware, virtualbox, qemu (plus kqemu accelerator) -- these kinds of software allow you to run (inferior) (non-free) OS's under linux, each in their own 'virtual machine' (like a bubble).  It helps if you have good hardware and lots of RAM :-)
[09:49] <LadyNikon> pauldaoust: :(
[09:49] <LadyNikon> dern it
[09:49] <yomm> gnube : and check out the new features :)
[09:49] <LadyNikon> thats what i get for having free copies of stuff
[09:49] <gnube> colbert, Do you have two graphic cards?
[09:49] <Xenguy> colbert: they run simultaneously with linux
[09:50] <fatih> yardm edecek biri yok mu
[09:50] <colbert> Xenguy: That sounds awesome.. I think I cannot though because I have only 1.2gb ram !
[09:50] <colbert> gnube: No I have one card, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
[09:50] <frick> that's plenty
[09:51] <gnube> colbert, To have a dual-head system you need two graphic cards
[09:51] <PriceChild> gnube, No you don't
[09:51] <PriceChild> gnube, You could have a dual output card
[09:51] <pauldaoust> colbert: there are a couple different ways to do it. There's TwinView which stretches your desktop across both screens (and works with 3d acceleration), Xinerama, which is similar, but places windows and dialogue boxes in more sensible places (i.e., new windows aren't split between two screens), and just setting up two X servers, which is nifty, but you can't drag a window from one monitor to another.
[09:51] <gnube> PriceChild, True, but this is laborious and no one does it. :)
[09:51] <Xenguy> colbert: heh, I have half that RAM and VMware server works here :-)
[09:52] <colbert> pauldaoust: So I think TwinView is best way ?
[09:52] <frick> I did it. One card, two monitors. Well, one is a tv :P
[09:52] <yomm> gnube : it's actually quite easy setting up dula head
[09:52] <flafla> hello Everyone
[09:52] <AutoMatriX> hi folks ;)
[09:52] <PriceChild> gnube, for berylites its a lot easier having one dual head nvidia card ;)
[09:52] <colbert> flafla: Hello
[09:52] <XXX> T,FYENST
[09:52] <XXX>
[09:52] <crdlb> gnube, actually practically every laptop has a dual head card (crt+lcd)
[09:52] <gnube> yomm PriceChild : Really? I didn't know that . . .
[09:52] <gnube> I though one had to have two graphic cards
[09:52] <XXX>  lOSHARA MI KANTARA
[09:53] <colbert> yes I am using Beryl XGL so I want to be able to see my one desktop across my 2 monitors.. so I assume it is not just plug n play in Ubuntu to do this ?
[09:53] <pauldaoust> gnube: I think it would be too laborious to have two cards; I think a dual-head card is much easier.
[09:53] <doomnx> cab anyone help me to install nvidia drivers on ubuntu offline? :(
[09:53] <XXX>
[09:53] <gnube> pauldaoust, Really? Wow.   It always plays at like 1.5x speed,  anyone know how to undo this?
[09:53] <pauldaoust> colbert: not entirely.  Then you can have accelerated Beryl on both desktops. It looks really cool when you rotate the cube.
[09:54] <flafla> yomm: sec
[09:55] <frick> just with beryl worked with two x servers...
[09:55] <frick> wish*
[09:55] <pauldaoust> crdlb: well, I've made the requisite changes to xorg.conf; I'm gonna restart my session.
[09:55] <pauldaoust> good bye folks!
[09:55] <gnube> pauldaoust, I can imagine! I have tried beryl, but I have not done the dual head thing since I thought I had to  have two graphic cards.
[09:55] <colbert> So if I have 2 monitors showing my desktop does the size of desktop increase or is it stretched at same resolution ?
[09:55] <_Johny> Have anyone of you ever used a soft called "Democracy Player" on Ubuntu?
[09:55] <crdlb> colbert, the resolution doubles
[09:55] <flafla> yomm: output plugins?
[09:55] <yomm> I am even remote controlling Beryl on my dual monitor setup , :p
[09:55] <Symmetria> colbert http://mirror.ac.za/temp/desktop.jpg
[09:55] <Symmetria> that should answer your question
[09:55] <Symmetria> (my desktop)
[09:55] <ParaPlayer> can somebody help me to change the resolution and the refreshrate of my ubuntu. atm the maximum seems to be 1024x768 @ 60 Hz. I'd like to have 1280x1024 @ 85 Hz instead. i know i have to edit the xorg.conf but i don't know how
[09:56] <colbert> crdlb: So my 1600x1200 would be 3200x2400 ?
[09:56] <yomm> flafla: what media player again ?
[09:56] <crdlb> colbert, 3200x1200
[09:56] <flafla> yomm: otem movie player
[09:56] <flafla> yomm: totem movie player
[09:56] <gnube> Symmetria, Nice, but please clean that coffee cup. :)
[09:56] <linuxx> "init: rc-default process (4208) terminate with status 127"
[09:56] <yomm> flafla : aren't their any preferences for soud ?
[09:56] <Symmetria> :p pfft, I'd had 10 cups of coffee that morning since I walked in in that cup
[09:56] <linuxx> what can I do to fix that?
[09:56] <yomm> *sound
[09:56] <_Johny> ParaPlayer: Try "dpkg reconfigure -phigh xorg-server.org
[09:57] <colbert> Symmetria: Wow that is awesome
[09:57] <leoely> hola
[09:57] <leoely> loco
[09:57] <Symmetria> heh thats my office desktop, I run similar at home, except at home Im now running 3 of them
[09:57] <flafla> yomm:  the problem is the video is running at 1.5x therefore there is no sound... I'm having issues with the video playing at 1.5x
[09:57] <Symmetria> same monitors though
[09:57] <Symmetria> because those monitors > *
[09:57] <erUSUL> ubotu tell ParaPlayer about fixres | ParaPlayer see priv msg from ubotu
[09:57] <Symmetria> :p
[09:57] <cheeseboy> hi
[09:57] <jhonny> cuerdas de brujas
[09:57] <colbert> Symmetria: What video card do you use for that? Could I do that with Radeon 9700 Pro ?
[09:58] <yomm> flafla : ok i thought you ment the mp3's were playing too fast
[09:58] <gnube> Symmetria, Does your work help you or do you have to maintain linux on your own at work?
[09:58] <gnube> !es
[09:58] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[09:58] <yomm> flafla : nm then ...
[09:58] <_Johny> !search xorg.conf
[09:58] <ubotu> Found: artifacts-#ubuntu-effects, glcontextmode-#ubuntu-effects, xorg.conf, __glcontextmode-#ubuntu-effects*
[09:58] <cheeseboy> can anyone help me install belkin 54g usb 54g v3 adaptor drivers?
[09:58] <Symmetria> gnube err, heh, Im the Chief Technology Officer, people at my work do what I tell them to do :p
[09:58] <n-iCe> I can't with my printer :S
[09:58] <linuxx> what can I do when getting "init: rc-default process (4208) terminated with status 127" ???
[09:58] <_Johny> !xorg.conf | ParaPlayer
[09:58] <ubotu> ParaPlayer: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:58] <n-iCe> I need a really good hand :(
[09:58] <gnube> Symmetria, w00t!
[09:58] <flafla> I screwed up my totem player...  It always plays at like 1.5x speed,  anyone know how to undo this?
[09:58] <pauldaoust> crdlb: thanks; that worked like a charm! I have no idea why it caused problems out of the blue like that...
[09:59] <gnube> flafla, Click on the >> arrow, it will speed up. :)
[09:59] <Symmetria> heh gnube actuallly though, a lot of what we use is solaris based
[09:59] <colbert> I just saw the ATI page for my card it does support 2 separate monitors, awesome
[09:59] <Symmetria> (my personal preference for servers)
[09:59] <tomw> hola folks
[09:59] <gnube> Symmetria, Open Solaris or regular Solaris?
[09:59] <gordonjcp> is there an alternative to the nvidia-glx driver that comes with feisty?
[09:59] <flafla> gnube:  do you even know what you are talking about?
[09:59] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, You can use the open source "nv" driver
[09:59] <gnube> flafla, It depends. :)
[09:59] <Symmetria> gnube solaris 10, open solaris is just solaris 11, but its not stable enough for production yet
[09:59] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: yes, yes
[09:59] <tomw> can someone point me to documentation on how to change the application that launches when my machine auto mounts a DVD?
[09:59] <ParaPlayer> _Johny: if i type "dpkg reconfigure -phigh xorg-server.org" into the terminal it awaits an action-option (don't know whether this is right, got a german version)
[10:00] <Symmetria> gnube, heh http://mirror.ac.za <[10:00] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: one that actually works would be good though
[10:00] <crdlb> pauldaoust, generally the simpler a config file is, the better it will run :)
[10:00] <gnube> Symmetria, Lots of interesting stuff in Solaris, like ZFS
[10:00] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, what card do you have?
[10:00] <orange_> anyone know how to install automatix (site is down)
[10:00] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: I get a headache working at 640x480x60Hz
[10:00] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: GF4
[10:00] <PriceChild> !automatix | orange_
[10:00] <ubotu> orange_: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[10:00] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, Which card? that's a large range
[10:00] <cheeseboy> anyone
[10:00] <Symmetria> heh gnube well like I say, mirror.ac.za runs solaris (which hosts ftp.za.freebsd.org, za.archive.ubuntu.com, za.releases.ubuntu.com, etc etc)
[10:00] <pauldaoust> crdlb: you're probably right. I'm sure you noticed all the config bits I left in there, for all the different video cards and monitors I plug into it on occasion...
[10:00] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: no idea, just a generic Geforce 4
[10:00] <Symmetria> primarily for zfs and zones
[10:01] <orange_> !WorksForMe
[10:01] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[10:01] <gnube> Symmetria, Cool, you are mirroring MIT open course ware, lovely.
[10:01] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: the nvidia-glx package for feisty doesn't support cards that old
[10:01] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, nvidia-glx-legacy then... and #ubuntu+1 for feisty
[10:01] <gnube> Symmetria, .za is that Zimbabwe or South Africa?
[10:01] <PriceChild> gnube, "lspci | grep nvidia" should tell you what card btw
[10:01] <gnube> I should know that but I do not.
[10:01] <crdlb> pauldaoust, most of that config is not loaded because it is not referenced by the ServerLayout section, so those parts can be left alone
[10:02] <titus> Hello all, I'm upgrading dapper->edgy with apt right now. Is there anything I should especially know about?
[10:02] <gnube> PriceChild, Even if it is built into the motherboard?
[10:02] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: legacy doesn't support glx
[10:02] <PriceChild> !upgrade | titus
[10:02] <ubotu> titus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[10:02] <gnube> titus, Edgy rocks.
[10:02] <PriceChild> titus, That's allt he important info :)
[10:02] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, It does...?
[10:02] <pauldaoust> crdlb: oh, that's good. I thought it loaded them, probed the hardware, etc even before it got to the ServerLayout section. Anyway, thanks again for the help, and now I've gotta start work!
[10:02] <orange_> PriceChild: Why does it take so long to boot after installing wifi drivers -- I did Alt+F1 to see where the errors occur if any during boot - it jus stalls really bad when scanning hd
[10:03] <PriceChild> gnube, gordonjcp actually the V in nVidia needs to be capital: lspci | grep nVidia
[10:03] <gnube> titus, Feisty is almost here, why don't you just wait for that?
[10:03] <PriceChild> gnube, you can't miss versions when upgrading
[10:03] <preaction> orange_: maybe you should actually wait for it to run?
[10:03] <LadyNikon> ok
[10:03] <LadyNikon> so here is the tricky question
[10:03] <PriceChild> orange_, I wouldn't know sorry.
[10:03] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: and in fact, it doesn't work anyway
[10:03] <gordonjcp> woo yay
[10:03] <gnube> PriceChild, Or really? wow. Another thing I should have known.
[10:03] <LadyNikon> i have a pantech cellular modem
[10:03] <gordonjcp> nice one ubuntu
[10:03] <titus> gnube: I don't especially want to be using the latest & greatest. I have waited til now to go for edgy
[10:03] <LadyNikon> anyone use that
[10:03] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, ?
[10:04] <tuxworld> hi , who can help me?
[10:04] <jrib> LadyNikon: that's an easy one, "yes"
[10:04] <Flannel> !ask | tuxworld
[10:04] <ubotu> tuxworld: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:04] <gnube> titus, Apparently to upgrade to Feisty you _have_ to have Edgy so go on and upgrade.
[10:04] <LadyNikon> jrib: works great?
[10:04] <pzmoma> LadyNikon, .... i kno you
[10:04] <tuxworld> who use ubuntu?
[10:04] <LadyNikon> pzmoma: i get around.. so i am not surprised
[10:04] <VII> hmhmh, where do I find the "gdmsetup tool"?
[10:04] <pzmoma> lol
[10:04] <sioux> feist is released?
[10:04] <pzmoma> 2600
[10:04] <gnube> tuxworld, This is the ubuntu channel so probably everyone here uses it.
[10:04] <pzmoma> mhz
[10:04] <jrib> LadyNikon: idk, I don't use it, I just mean you should ask a more specific question
[10:05] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: using nvidia-glx-legacy, it dies with the less-than-helpful message "Failed to load the nvidia module"
[10:05] <Xenguy> tuxworld: nobody uses that =)
[10:05] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, Is this on feisty?
[10:05] <titus> gnube: exactly - I don't want to be more than one version behind, but I don't want to use the blleding edge on my main pc
[10:05] <LadyNikon> jrib: well i was hoping my question would mean.. someone runs it in ubuntu
[10:05] <titus> ~bleeding
[10:05] <LadyNikon> but i guess not.
[10:05] <gnube> titus, But it is not dangerous. I think you will find it quite stable
[10:05] <gnube> titus, It is not like debian's sid
[10:06] <gnube> Rather, from what I understand, it is testing frozen
[10:06] <atomiku> okay
[10:06] <atomiku> so
[10:06] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: yes, but I'm about to flatten and reinstall Edgy
[10:06] <jrib> LadyNikon: http://samat.org/weblog/20070127-high-speed-cellular-wireless-modems-in-ubuntu-linux-6-10.html
[10:06] <titus> gnube: really? I read about lots of problems with X when edgy was new.
[10:06] <gnube> titus, New or in beta?
[10:06] <titus> gnube: New
[10:06] <gnube> the releases get released a little early so they can be tested.
[10:06] <tuxworld> i want to have 3GP convertor in ubuntu
[10:06] <NobodyExpectsThe> Hello everyone.
[10:07] <NobodyExpectsThe> I want to know how to bring up a terminal window in ubuntu.
[10:07] <leoely_> ruja
[10:07] <NobodyExpectsThe> Can someone tell me?
[10:07] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, remember feisty isn't released yet and has bugs. The majority of users are recommended to stick with released versions. If you head to +1 I'll try and help though
[10:07] <gnube> I had problems with X with the pre-releases but not otherwise.
[10:07] <leoely_> pelu es una bruja
[10:07] <NobodyExpectsThe> How does one bring up a terminal window using a hotkey?
[10:07] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: I'm in +1
[10:07] <gnube> NobodyExpectsThe, Do you know where your applications are?
[10:07] <gnube> !es
[10:07] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[10:07] <flafla> gnube:  do you even know what you are talking about?
[10:07] <NobodyExpectsThe> I'm running a restricted version with the terminal links removed.
[10:07] <morpheusdreams> Hi there, I have just tried to install flash player. It asks me to delete xpti.dat from my Mozilla folder. So i found it and deleted it and installed again. Logged out an logged in, still nothing.   It always plays at like 1.5x speed,  anyone know how to undo this?
[10:08] <gnube> NobodyExpectsThe, , Something like what?
[10:08] <NobodyExpectsThe> A hotkey to bring up the terminal.
[10:08] <NobodyExpectsThe> Like... CTL-ALT-T?
[10:08] <gnube> titus, I think when you try Edgy you will see it is really stable and just works.
[10:08] <LadyNikon> jrib: thanks i was on the evdoforums
[10:08] <jrib> NobodyExpectsThe: system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[10:09] <gnube> titus, That was my experience several months ago
[10:09] <NobodyExpectsThe> Isn't available on this restricted platform.
[10:09] <NobodyExpectsThe> Is there a built in command to bring up the terminal?
[10:09] <jrib> NobodyExpectsThe: what do you mean?
[10:09] <jrib> NobodyExpectsThe: 'gnome-terminal' is the command
[10:09] <gnube> NobodyExpectsThe, You have to assign keys to hotkeys
[10:09] <NobodyExpectsThe> So, I can't bring up the terminal if I don't have a terminal?
[10:09] <NobodyExpectsThe> Or any l inks?
[10:09] <gnube> jrib, You can't use the terminal to open a terminal if you do not have a terminal open?
[10:09] <morpheusdreams> Hi there, I have just tried to install flash player. It asks me to delete xpti.dat from my Mozilla folder. So i found it and deleted it and installed again. Logged out an logged in, still nothing. Any idea what i should do next?
[10:09] <alperyilmaz> didi anybody here succesfuly run ubuntu from flash drive (mine is 2GB) by creating ext2 and swap partitions
[10:10] <jrib> gnube: I was just answering his question :/
[10:10] <titus> gnube: for sure - I have been using on my laptop for a while - enjoying beryl/xgl too. Plus uptodate haskell packages
[10:10] <n-iCe> why my cpu do weird noises like the pc were working alot
[10:10] <gnube> morpheusdreams, Did you restart your browser?
[10:10] <n-iCe> with UBUNTU
[10:10] <NobodyExpectsThe> So suppose I was to go to a terminal screen by pressing CTL-ALT-F1
[10:10] <raven3x7> NobodyExpectsThe, can you right click on the desktop?
[10:10] <gnube> n-iCe, It is paging
[10:10] <NobodyExpectsThe> But it prompts me for a login.
[10:10] <jrib> NobodyExpectsThe: there is no default shortcut key, keyboard shortcuts are set using gconf though...
[10:10] <morpheusdreams> gnube: closed all browsers before installing
[10:10] <alperyilmaz> all instructions about usb install mention FAT and ext2 partitions
[10:10] <NobodyExpectsThe> What are the odds that root is enabled?
[10:10] <n-iCe> gnube what's paging ?
[10:10] <gnube> NobodyExpectsThe, 100%
[10:10] <raven3x7> NobodyExpectsThe, it wants yor username and pass
[10:11] <colbert> PriceChild: Xinerama is the one to go with for ATI cards for dual monitor ?
[10:11] <NobodyExpectsThe> Can't right-click on the desktop.
[10:11] <gnube> n-iCe, It is when the system swaps out pages to memory
[10:11] <kitsuneofdoom> I'm using gcc on ubuntu. I get errors when I try to use the pow function. I have #include<math.h> in the program at the top.
[10:11] <PriceChild> colbert, I'm not sure myself sorry... I think it is though yes.
[10:11] <kitsuneofdoom> gajendra.c:(.text+0xcc): undefined reference to `pow'
[10:11] <Grif3r> do anyone here use Window maker in Ubuntu 6.10?
[10:11] <raven3x7> gnube? isnt root disabled in ubuntu?
[10:11] <schasi> colbert: Xinerama ist the one for both cards
[10:11] <n-iCe> gnube but why with ubuntu always ?
[10:11] <jrib> NobodyExpectsThe: is this your system?
[10:11] <NobodyExpectsThe> Ok, so I don't have a username or pass and I want to log in.
[10:11] <NobodyExpectsThe> I have a graphical interface and that's it.
[10:11] <gnube> kitsuneofdoom, There could be a thousand things wrong, why do you think it is the OS at fault?
[10:11] <colbert> schasi: So I can use Beryl XGL just fine on 2 monitors with Xinerama?
[10:11] <NobodyExpectsThe> It's somewhat disabled but I want to get to the terminal.
[10:11] <schasi> colbert: the ati specifix is mergedfb or mergefb, the nvidia one twinview
[10:11] <NobodyExpectsThe> No hotkey exists by default?
[10:11] <Flannel> NobodyExpectsThe: er, if you don't have a username, or a password, you can't login.  That's a good thing.
[10:11] <jrib> NobodyExpectsThe: speak with the administrator
[10:11] <schasi> colbert: dunno, never tried Beryl. Just try it
[10:11] <gnube> n-iCe, I have no idea, what type of processor are you using?
[10:12] <n-iCe> gnube uhm, intel celeron? pentium 4
[10:12] <NobodyExpectsThe> Well, thanks guys.
[10:12] <n-iCe> Intel inside *
[10:12] <gnube> n-iCe, do this command: top
[10:12] <NobodyExpectsThe> I'll have to find some other way to carry out my plan of world domination.
[10:12] <gnube> what do you see?
[10:13] <titus> gnube: when I upgraded the laptop I made a point of starting with a disk. I am just scared of upgrading with apt, which is why I came here and asked :-) If it all goes well (including my ndis wireless drivers) I'll be back to celebrate. If not, I'll be back to beg for help :-)
[10:13] <n-iCe> gnube done, with top
[10:13] <gnube> raven3x7, Well in a way yes, but root always exists with any unix - like operating system
[10:13] <kitsuneofdoom> gnube: because the program works on Dev-C++, or so says my teacher.
[10:13] <gnube> titus, Gotcha! Better safe than sorry!
[10:13] <gnube> n-iCe, What does it say?
[10:13] <kitsuneofdoom> gnube: I tried compiling my teacher's sample
[10:14] <Grif3r> anyone? window maker?
[10:14] <n-iCe> A lot of things
[10:14] <n-iCe> !paste
[10:14] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:14] <Flannel> gnube, raven3x7, the root user exists, but the root account is locked, there is no password that will be able to successfuly login as root.
[10:14] <gnube> kitsuneofdoom, So you are using a different compiler than you were instructed?
[10:14] <raven3x7> gnube, of course i just remember that you cant login as root
[10:14] <gnube> Flannel, That is what I said
[10:14] <colbert> schasi: When you install Xinerama, is it something that can be turned off/on or must it be uninstalled to stop it ?
[10:14] <raven3x7> Flannel, thats what i thought
[10:14] <gnube> raven3x7, You can if you do this: sudo passwd root <password>
[10:15] <Flannel> But there's absolutely no reason to
[10:15] <schasi> colbert: Xinerama is a feature that comes with your xorg X Server
[10:15] <kitsuneofdoom> gnube: dev-C++ is an IDE around gcc
[10:15] <raven3x7> gnube, yeah i know i was just talking about the default config
[10:15] <gnube> kitsuneofdoom, The issue though is the compiler no?
[10:15] <Agrajag> kitsuneofdoom: did you install build-essential, or just gcc?
[10:15] <schasi> colbert: I feel that there a some howtos and such in the ubuntu wikis and pages
[10:15] <colbert> ok I am searching
[10:15] <schasi> colbert: You might have to restart X for activating/deactivating ist
[10:15] <schasi> it
[10:16] <kitsuneofdoom> Agrajag: thanks, that's probably the problem. Nice name, btw.
[10:16] <n-iCe> gnube: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9304/
[10:16] <kestaz> what you think http://www.ipix.lt/view.php?img=1432_test.png.html ?
[10:16] <kitsuneofdoom> Agrajag: still has the error
[10:16] <gnube> n-iCe, Whatever Java process you are running is eating up your processor
[10:17] <Grif3r> I can't get .wmv files to play in wmaker or hear flash animations
[10:17] <maarten_> kitsuneofdoom: link with libm
[10:17] <gnube> n-iCe, Some kind of torrent tool?
[10:17] <n-iCe> ah ?
[10:17] <n-iCe> frostwire , could be ?
[10:17] <maarten_> kituneofdoom: add the flag -lm when linking
[10:17] <gnube> n-iCe, Kind of a high load average for a single user on a pentium 4
