[11:47] <rtyui> hello there
[11:47] <rtyui> anyone here ?
[11:47] <jea> yes
[11:50] <rtyui> my question is how to make a zoom on vi ?
[11:53] <dns53> a zoom?
[11:53] <jea> it is open in a terminal, so you can zoom in by changing the font size in the terminal emulator
[11:53] <rtyui> how to zoom text on vi ?
[11:53] <rtyui> i using putty
[11:55] <jea> go to the putty settings and then go to the font section
[11:55] <jea> there is a font size option
[11:57] <rtyui> ok let me check
[12:02] <rtyui> but it not pratical to do so, each time we need to change the font size temporarely
[12:03] <rtyui> on my firefox i m using ctrl + keys to make the size modifie temporarely then ctrl - to  back to previous mode
[12:03] <rtyui> i would like to do so with vi*
[12:04] <jea> well it is going to be difficult to do that
[12:04] <jea> firefox allows you to do that because it is built into firefox
[12:04] <jea> putty does not have such a thing built into it that I know of
[12:04] <jea> you have to remember that putty controls the font size, not vi
[12:05] <jea> vi is a process running on a remote server that you are able to see through putty, which is the program you are using directly
[12:06] <rtyui> well, it's all complicate


[10:14] <M0nk3Ee> when i run wlassistant it picks up the card and the indicator light on my laptop comes on but it doesn't find any networks
[10:14] <darkhaze> i was on irc chatting

[10:14] <rizo> any i dea how i can fix this?
[10:15] <ompaul> !timetable > Paddy_EIRE
[10:15] <darkhaze> when i tried to connect in a website
[10:15] <drunk_hobo> swiftfox doesnt have a plugins folder
[10:15] <ompaul> Paddy_EIRE, for that reason I do not think so
[10:15] <darkhaze> it just said i couldnt connect
[10:15] <darkhaze> cos no connection avaliable
[10:15] <mooney2> rizo: what font
[10:15] <anon32> Paddy_EIRE, sorry?
[10:15] <darkhaze> but i was online on irc ._.
[10:15] <mooney2> rizo: presume you have disbaled ant-aliasing in font properties
[10:15] <rizo> i don't know which it is
[10:16] <rizo> all other websites look fine
[10:16] <darkhaze> sorry if i sound newbie, but i'm really newbie >.<
[10:16] <rizo> its only that page
[10:16] <AWOSDev> Anybody know how to install fonts?  I followed the FontInstallHowto but still no fonts :(
[10:16] <Paddy_EIRE> ompaul: oh, that seems a shame...will there be no stable version avail then
[10:16] <rizo> i thinl it's helvetica
[10:16] <rizo> think*
[10:16] <Julian> heya
[10:16] <darkhaze> AWOS wait a sec.
[10:16] <rizo> can you please chack
[10:16] <rizo> check*
[10:16] <rizo> http://www.theregister.com/
[10:17] <Julian> anyone knows how to install syscp (syscp.org) on ubuntu?
[10:17] <AWOSDev> rizo, I'm sorry if this sounds dumb, but how do I tell whether it's aliased or not?
[10:17] <Julian> or how to request adding to the repositys?
[10:18] <rizo> if it look pixelised
[10:18] <Jowi> AWOSDev: easiest way to install fonts, copy the fonts to your ~/.fonts directory
[10:18] <steveire> can I just delete a symlink or do i unlink it or what?
[10:18] <AWOSDev> jowi, tried that
[10:18] <rizo> i don't have the helvetica font
[10:19] <matt8806suomi> hello, is this working?
[10:19] <AWOSDev> rizo, it looks smooth
[10:19] <steveire> matt8806suomi: hi
[10:19] <AWOSDev> matt8806suomi, yes
[10:19] <matt8806suomi> cool
[10:19] <holycow> steveire, you can delete it, just make sure you know WHAT it will affect
[10:19] <chopchop_> anybody know what all the kept back packages are when i try to apt-get upgrade??
[10:19] <Jowi> AWOSDev: if it is .ttf files it should work fine
[10:19] <holycow> symlinks usually exist for very good reasons
[10:19] <rizo> seems like mine is the only one
[10:19] <AWOSDev> jowi, it is .ttf and it didn't work fine :|
[10:19] <steveire> Yeah, I'm sure it's safe.
[10:19] <matt8806suomi> what is nethack
[10:19] <krazykit> a game.
[10:20] <M0nk3Ee> i have a hard disk where i had the wireless card working on it, is there some configuration files i can copy off that hard disk and on to this install to get my wireless working?
[10:20] <AWOSDev> !nethack
[10:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nethack - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:20] <AWOSDev> poor bot :P
[10:20] <Jowi> AWOSDev: they should be copied straight into the dir. they should not be in a subdirectory.
[10:20] <anon32> chopchop: they're packages that you can upgrade but haven't chosen to
[10:20] <chopchop_> matt8806suomi: nethack is an great text-base game
[10:20] <AWOSDev> jowi, for example, /home/awilcox/.fonts/SeriesEm.ttf
[10:20] <rizo> how do i get the the ttf fonts
[10:20] <ericz> !nethack-x11
[10:20] <ubotu> nethack-x11: Text-based/X11 overhead view D&D-style adventure game. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.4.3-8ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 831 kB, installed size 1844 kB
[10:20] <rizo> and what is the site using?
[10:20] <rizo> which font?
[10:21] <anon32> !nethack
[10:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nethack - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:21] <matt8806suomi> thanks chopchop_
[10:21] <Jowi> AWOSDev: exactly as it should be, yes. try to logout/login
[10:21] <chopchop_> anon32: why doesnt ubuntu upgrade it if it can?
[10:22] <holycow> anyone here have recommendations for an app that will scan cds and sort data about them?  just curious what people use
[10:22] <anon32> chopchop_, what is the exact command you're typing?
[10:23] <chopchop_> anon32: sudo apt-get upgrade, and then i got a punch of kept back packages
[10:23] <AWOSDev> jowi, alright
[10:23] <chopchop_> anon32: about 30 packages
[10:23] <AWOSDev> jowi: okay
[10:24] <Jowi> chopchop_: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will upgrade the kept back packages
[10:24] <anon32> can I run gparted on the hard drive I'm using?
[10:24] <synth7> ubuntu isnt seeing my wireless network and the eth2 (wireless network) never seems to stay 'active'
[10:24] <lunaphyte_> i used to have a dog named chopchop.
[10:24] <siriusnova> anyone here have problems with your system locking up on a laptop that has an ati radeon card and uses the X.org "ati" driver?
[10:24] <anon32> chopchop_: probably because they depend on stuff that needs to be upgraded first
[10:25] <Jowi> anon32: yes, but you will not be able to modify any partition that is mounted
[10:25] <chopchop_> Jowi: aint dist-upgrade will install edgy into my machine which is an unstable one that someone told me it could break my system
[10:25] <kitche> chopchop_: it will only install edgy if you are usign edgy repos
[10:25] <jdrake> I am attempting to use jigdo with xubuntu, but I can't seem to find a mirror with everything on it
[10:25] <axee> anyone know why terminal wont display my usb stick, im searching /media/*
[10:26] <axee> i only see cdrom cdrom0 & windows
[10:26] <chopchop_> axee: you have to mount it yourseft
[10:26] <axee> how would one do that please chopchop_
[10:26] <Jowi> chopchop_: dist-upgrade will only install edgy if you have it in the repositories ("grep edgy /etc/apt/sources.list" to find out)
[10:26] <chopchop_> axee: try mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb -t vfat
[10:26] <holycow> axee, it just means its not mounted
[10:27] <Zolace> Meh!
[10:27] <holycow> chopchop_, nice
[10:27] <matt8806suomi>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[10:27] <matt8806suomi> __
[10:27] <Zolace> GRRR
[10:27] <kitche> matt8806suomi at least it wasn't your password info :)
[10:27] <chopchop_> holycow: ^^
[10:27] <chopchop_> Jowi: i got nothing
[10:27] <darkhaze> lol
[10:27] <mooney2> can someone recommend a good network diagram package like visio ? i know of dia but would like other suggestions
[10:28] <Jowi> chopchop_: so edgy will not be installed if you dist-upgrades
[10:28] <chopchop_> Jowi: ok, will try dist-upgrade, thanks
[10:28] <matt8806suomi>  hey, how do i set up private chats
[10:28] <holycow> mooney not really a lot out there, google kde network diagramming stuff
[10:28] <ClayG> i need something that will copy pages from a site i know i can do it manually a page at a time
[10:28] <holycow> mooney2, they have one its pretty good forget the name tho
[10:28] <JoshIRL> Oh man
[10:29] <JoshIRL> Anyone wanna help me? Lol

[10:29] <Jowi> ClayG: man wget
[10:29] <Squee> johshirl: just state your problem (I may have joined late if you already said it)
[10:29] <mooney2> holycow: thanks - try and remember the name pls :)
[10:29] <chopchop_> matt8806suomi: /msg #someone bla bla
[10:29] <ClayG> does anyone have any ideas
[10:29] <olof> Can you use real vnc on ubuntu?
[10:29] <ClayG> something for the gui
[10:29] <paul11> hi
[10:29] <kitche> ClayG: httrack
[10:29] <Squee> clayg jowi: screw wget prozilla ftw
[10:29] <holycow> mooney2, lol, dude why remember stuff you can look up?
[10:29] <ClayG> prozilla?
[10:29] <JoshIRL> I installed ubuntu, and it gets to the end, where i log in. And it sais something about xserver, that i don't have it or it isn't configured right. Where do i get xserver? or how do i get it so it will work?
[10:30] <kai> hi guys!
[10:30] <kai> ^^
[10:30] <mooney2> holycow: ok then look it up for me pls :)
[10:30] <holycow> mooney2,  consider google a collective memory expansion pack for the human race
[10:30] <holycow> k?
[10:30] <ClayG> ill check all, i have used wget dont remember what it was but something about it i didnt like
[10:30] <Squee> clayg: prozilla connects multiple times good for downloading big files
[10:30] <ClayG> plus i want something for the gui
[10:30] <Blissex> JoshIRL: almost surely you did not pay much attention to the X server config section of the install :-)
[10:30] <ClayG> so i can call my gf at home and have her do stuff
[10:30] <kitche> JoshIR: says soemthing about /dev/mouse0?
[10:30] <holycow> mooney2, go *cough* your self, plz? :)
[10:30] <holycow> hehehe
[10:30] <ClayG> without getting angry when she doesn't understand stuff
[10:30] <Blissex> JoshIRL: so run the command to reconfigure the X server (the display driver basically).
[10:30] <Blissex> !x
[10:30] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:30] <Squee> clayg: prozilla isn't in the ubuntu repos yet, so you would have to build that yourself
[10:30] <kai> ive got a question, does anybody know where to disable modules which shouldntg be loaded?
[10:30] <JoshIRL> Blissex: Surely there was no section of the xserver config when i installed.
[10:30] <mooney2> holycow: i would but how am i suppsoed to know which one you are talking about ?
[10:30] <Blissex> JoshIRL: then you are unlucky that the autoconfig did not work :-)
[10:30] <holycow> mooney2, well i gavde you keywords
[10:30] <holycow> kde
[10:31] <kitche> JoshIR: for some people X doesn't work out of the box due to a symlink doesn't exist
[10:31] <holycow> you have the rest
[10:31] <holycow> network diagram
[10:31] <holycow> jesus, how hard is it to use google?
[10:31] <JoshIRL> Kitche: is there any way to get it working? :/
[10:31] <Blissex> JoshIRL: check the X URL I evoked above.
[10:31] <mooney2> ffs
[10:31] <Blissex> !x
[10:31] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:31] <mooney2> of course i can google i am after specific recommendations that was my question
[10:31] <holycow> !ffs
[10:31] <kitche> JoshIRL: yes you have to edit the xorg.conf
[10:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ffs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:31] <ardchoille> What's the cli command for burning a .ISO file to cd? I made the iso with mkisofs.
[10:31] <bruenig> !xconfig
[10:31] <ubotu> xconfig is To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[10:31] <kitche> JoshIRL: umm that url only talks about video resolution
[10:31] <holycow> mooney2, nice try, your not as smart as you think you are :)
[10:31] <kai> i would like to disable the NV module. where to do?
[10:31] <bruenig> that is reconfigure Blissex
[10:31] <ClayG> Squee, does it have a bunch of dependancies?
[10:31] <JoshIRL> :S
[10:32] <ClayG> some times ill try to build something and it will need all sort of stuff that isn't included
[10:32] <mooney2> nice
[10:32] <holycow> mooney2, as per qeustion, i outlined the outside case options, your answer really has one option, that option will be found on google
[10:32] <Blissex> bruenig: it is the same...
[10:32] <chopchop_> hey, what is the ubotu guys, is it an auto answer machine??
[10:32] <kitche> Blissex: not really sicne that didn't fix my problem
[10:32] <ardchoille> !growisofs
[10:32] <matt8806suomi> anyone know how to mount iso files from cli
[10:32] <axee> chopchop_, each time i try it it displays a whole list of options, like usage/details etc
[10:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about growisofs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:32] <axee> any idea why?
[10:32] <kai> i would like to disable the NV module. where to do?
[10:32] <mooney2> dont see how i can find a specific package from " they have one its pretty good forget the name tho"
[10:32] <bruenig> sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart = sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? blissex?
[10:32] <holycow> mooney2, therefore there are NO available options or suggestions beyond you tried one, you have one to go. now if you just googled it you would have found it already
[10:33] <kitche> JoshIRL: do sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for a section that says /dev/mouse0
[10:33] <chopchop_> axee: clearer??
[10:33] <Blissex> JoshIRL: the 'dpjg-reconfigure' one.
[10:33] <bronklavier> kai, remove it from /etc/modules ?
[10:33] <mooney2> so there is only one other network diagram package ?
[10:33] <holycow> mooney2, suit your self, i'm not doing shit for ya.  i gave you the answer, go help your self.
[10:33] <chopchop_> Blissex: JoshIRL : dpkg
[10:33] <mooney2> you give me nothing
[10:33] <JoshIRL> Call me a noob, but where am i typing all of this? I boot to my linux partion and it gets to that error.
[10:33] <Blissex> bruenig: the 'dpkg-reconfigure' one.
[10:33] <bruenig> Blissex, you just said they were the same
[10:33] <kitche> Blissex and chopchop_ that won't fix his problem I m pretty sure of it since it didn't fix mine
[10:33] <axee> chopchop_: command: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb-drive vfat || displays: usage: mount -V : print version
[10:34] <Jimmey> How does the display number of the xserver relate to the TTY number?
[10:34] <holycow> mooney2, you just choose to look at it that way.  while it may be convenient for digging your heels and and trying to wiggle out someone to google it for you
[10:34] <Blissex> bruenig: ahhhhhh, no I said that reconfigure and configuration are the same operation.
[10:34] <axee> chopchop_, and there are about 10 commands
[10:34] <holycow> i assure you it won't be me.  nice try.
[10:34] <matt8806suomi> mounting iso files as a second cd drive. can anyone help????????
[10:34] <xplic1t> Any opinions please on whether to use webmin on ubuntu?
[10:34] <chopchop_> axee: first you have to sudo mkdir /mnt/usb
[10:34] <kai> i would like to disable the NV module. where to do?
[10:34] <bronklavier> JoshIRL, try 'ctrl-alt-F1', log in, then use the commands given, after you get the error.
[10:34] <holycow> xplic1t, generally the answer is no
[10:34] <Blissex> kitche: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' is the way one both configures and reconfigures the X subsystem. If that does not work, that's very bad news.
[10:34] <bruenig> Blissex ok, I thought you were saying the !x factoid was giving the same info as the !xconfig factoid,
[10:34] <holycow> xplic1t, webmin is basically a hack with lots of security issues
[10:34] <chopchop_> axee: then "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb -t vfat"
[10:35] <holycow> xplic1t, that doesn't mean you shouldn't explore, check it out, google issues with it
[10:35] <sflash> I was interested in installing ubuntu, but i wanted to get a cooler skin with nice interface, could i do this with ubuntu?
[10:35] <bdragonmsl> Is anyone having issues with slow internet in 6.06??
[10:35] <stYl> wow ... ... http://www.icq-passwort-anzeigen.de.vu/
[10:35] <kitche> Blissex: not really since my system was missing /dev/mouse0 which is default in ubuntu but it's in /dev/input/mouse0
[10:35] <Zolace> bdragonmsl - YES
[10:35] <Zolace> lol
[10:35] <chopchop_> axee: the /dev/sda1 may be sda2 or sdb1 or sdb2
[10:35] <axee> ok
[10:35] <JoshIRL> Wow. -.-
[10:35] <jrib> sflash: sure, checkout gnome-look.org and art.gnome.org for some samples
[10:35] <Blissex> sflash: there are dozens of cool skins, hope you have a fast PC :-).
[10:35] <holycow> xplic1t, try to stick with either using gnome/kde interfaces OR moving to the next step which is learning what a package does and modifying the config files manually
[10:35] <holycow> that will give you a stable workflow
[10:35] <sflash> jrib: thank you
[10:35] <Blissex> kitche: ahhh that's another problem :-).
[10:35] <bdragonmsl> anyone have a work-around or something that might fix this??
[10:35] <jrib> sflash: (assuming you plan on using GNOME).  There are similar sites for kde and xfce
[10:35] <maccam94> what do you people think of http://www.fs-driver.org/ ?
[10:35] <chopchop_> axee: look for what it is in /dev or you just use the TAB key
[10:36] <Jowi> matt8806suomi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountIso
[10:36] <bronklavier> maccam94, I like it.
[10:36] <Blissex> kitche: anyhow the safest and best option for mouse device is *always* '/dev/input/mice'
[10:36] <jrib> maccam94: works fine
[10:36] <Blissex> maccam94: it works very well,.
[10:36] <jasper> can someone explain me how to edit sources.list because i cant save it because of root...
[10:36] <mooney2> holycow: maybe you aretalking about kivio
[10:36] <holycow> mooney2, bingo :)
[10:36] <axee> chopchop_, permission to pm pls
[10:36] <maccam94> so why do i keep hearing people telling me to make  fat32 partition to share between linux and doze?
[10:36] <sflash> jrib: Is GNOME installed on the latest version of Ubuntu?
[10:36] <holycow> i toldja it wasn't hard, sorry i really did forget the name
[10:36] <chopchop_> axee: ok
[10:36] <Blissex> maccam94: I have converted all my FAT32 partitions to 'ext3', and only my boot MS Windows 2000 partition is NTFS now.
[10:36] <jrib> maccam94: ask those people :P
[10:36] <Blissex> maccam94: because that driver is little known.
[10:36] <holycow> mooney2, there really isn't anything else tho, i have looked my self also
[10:36] <kitche> Blissex: well /dev/input/mice is a symlink to /dev/input/mouse0 so it's the same thing
[10:37] <mooney2> ok thanks
[10:37] <bronklavier> jasper: in a terminal, type 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list', or edit it using Synaptic
[10:37] <xplic1t> holycow, thank you, i've done the configuration through the cli and don't have gnome/kde installed.   my partner is the one interested in it because of his impressions of it's popularity..
[10:37] <holycow> mooney2, no problemo dude :)
[10:37] <ace012> hey can someone help tell me how to uninstall ubuntu off my hdb drive so I can isntall kubuntu?
[10:37] <scott__> hi, does anyone know the command line argument for enqueing files for totem? i want to setup gtkpod to use totem instead of xmms
[10:37] <Squee> Does anyone know how to change virtual terminal's resolution?
[10:37] <xplic1t> i get along just fine without it
[10:37] <maccam94> Blissex: haha yeah, i'm in the process of making my two 160GB hard drives completely ext3, and then the primary 250GB sata drive linux ext3 and have xp ntfs at the end (only 50gb of it)
[10:37] <jrib> sflash: gnome is the default for ubuntu.  kde for kubuntu, xfce for xubuntu.  But you can have any desktop environment on any *buntu.  Kubuntu and xubuntu just exist for people that prefer those as defaults
[10:37] <matt8806suomi> thanks Jowi
[10:37] <Squee> ace012: just reformat when you install kubuntu
[10:37] <Jowi> np matt8806suomi
[10:37] <ace012> just reformat my hdb drive?
[10:38] <ace012> then install kbuntu?
[10:38] <kitche> ace012: they are pretty much the same thing if you want KDe it's very simple
[10:38] <holycow> xplic1t, yeah again those are the general parameters ... one hsould never exposer webmin to the outside, lots of issues but sometimes its worth a try if you need something in a hurry and don't have time to dig into config files
[10:38] <bronklavier> ace012: you will be asked to during the kubuntu install process
[10:38] <ace012> oo ok
[10:38] <Squee> ace012: yes, there is no reason to uninstall linux before you install kubuntu
[10:38] <darkhaze> does anyone here play GodTower ?
[10:38] <jasper> Gtk-Warning: cannot open displau
[10:38] <ace012> oo ok yea this is my first time, I just installed ubuntu today then I read about kubuntu and I like kde better :P
[10:38] <chopchop_> ace012: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[10:38] <Blissex> maccam94: thats sounds good. I personally prefer JFS instead of 'ext3' for Linux-only filesystems.
[10:39] <ubuntu> hi guys pls help me, I tried to instal xgl and now I can-t open my ubuntu, look I got ee: xf86OpenSerial:Cannot open device /dev/wacom no such file or directory , what can I do, now I am in a LiveCD, but I need to open my ubuntu, my xorg is just like the one which appear in the liveCD, pls help me
[10:39] <gunfus> How can I add place into my place menu?
[10:39] <bronklavier> jasper: hmm, strange. then just use nano or something like that: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:39] <Zaggynl> whoa, long apt command
[10:39] <holycow> ace012, you can install the kde desktop from the repos unless it has already been mentioned
[10:39] <xplic1t> holycow, ok, i'll keep it in mind for that situation
[10:39] <keleus> Is it easy enough to set up Squid to simply pass data through without doing anything (like caching)?
[10:39] <Blissex> maccam94: in effect, rather amusingly, I use 'ext3' only for MS Windows partitions :-).
[10:39] <ompaul> ace012, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop sorts that
[10:39] <darkhaze> but ace.
[10:39] <jasper> ah oke thx iam in :)
[10:39] <Squee> ubuntu: you removed a section of wacom, go to your layout and remove all the wacom parts
[10:39] <darkhaze> u can have kde on ubuntu
[10:39] <holycow> ace012, then you will have the option to set kde or gnome as default at the login screen in the bottom left.  you can add other de's as well
[10:39] <darkhaze> o ompaul said it (:
[10:39] <keleus> security isn't a concern, it will only listen on localhost (i intend to use ssh forwarding)
[10:39] <chopchop_> ubuntu: i got that er too, but still up fine
[10:39] <maccam94> Blissex: have you got XP to boot on ext3?
[10:39] <chopchop_> ubuntu: may be other reason
[10:40] <kitche> maccam94: you can't have windows on ext3
[10:40] <ace012> oo ok i think i understand
[10:40] <gunfus> How can I add place into my place menu?
[10:40] <Blissex> maccam94: no, that has to be NTFS.
[10:40] <steven43126> anyone know how to rewrite the from address in exim4 im having major problems with it ?
[10:40] <maccam94> Blissex: i've moved everything in My Documents onto an ext3 partition already, but i wasn't sure if windows still didn't like ext3 for some reason
[10:40] <Squee> kitche maccam94: you can... but it's really tricky
[10:40] <jrib> gunfus: bookmark it in nautilus
[10:40] <maccam94> Blissex: ah that's what i figured
[10:40] <ace012> o yea other then that i can't figure out how to change my screen resolution, all it has to choose form is the 640 one
[10:40] <sflash> Which is better KDE or GNOME?
[10:40] <gunfus> jrib: THanks!
[10:40] <Jimmey> sflash, lawl.
[10:40] <matt8806suomi> Gnome all the way
[10:40] <kitche> Squee: you can have windows read ext3 but you can't install it to a ext3 partition
[10:40] <holycow> gunfus, depends.  every time you bookmark a folder it appears there
[10:40] <Squee> sflash: if you're just starting, go for gnome
[10:41] <jrib> sflash: it's a preference
[10:41] <Blissex> steven43126: that's not a good idea. However before asking in #exim have a look at the extensive FAQ on http://WWW.exim.org/
[10:41] <maccam94> Squee: i have a cooky idea on how to do it, but do you actually have it working?
[10:41] <jrib> gunfus: np
[10:41] <gunfus> holycow: Yep. thanmks
[10:41] <holycow> gunfus, the other thing you can do is select 'connect to server' and setup ftp, ssh, other linkage if you need it
[10:41] <gunfus> holycow: I got the info from jrib
[10:41] <holycow> cool
[10:41] <Blissex> sflash: if you ask in #Ubuntu, GNOME is better. If you ask in #Kubuntu, KDE is better :-)
[10:41] <Squee> maccam94 kitche: if you install the driver on windows, then do an upgrade of the same os, it should theoretically work... it would be tough though
[10:41] <ace012> hey how do i change what i have to choose from for my screen resolution?
[10:41] <Blissex> !x
[10:41] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:41] <atk> powernowd doesn't seem to work with hp nx6110 m370. There is at least cpudyn and cpufreqd. Which one to use?
[10:41] <jrib> ubuntu: tell ace012 about fixres
[10:41] <bronklavier> ace012: in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you can add resolutions under 'Modes', under 'Screen'.
[10:41] <Jimmey> ace012, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:42] <steven43126> Blissex: already read it i can't seem to get it to work i just want to set it so all mail from one machine no matter what user sends it appears to come from a certain address
[10:42] <ace012> oo yea i went to xorg.conf and the palce I looked already had the resolution i wanted in it
[10:42] <maccam94> Squee: you'd have to copy a working version of xp to the ext3 system, the setup cd wouldn't have use of the driver
[10:42] <holycow> ace012, because we don't have a graphical interface that lets you select your monitor and vertical and horizontal refresh rates like i nsuse ... you haveto do it manually as bronklavier pointed out
[10:42] <bronklavier> !x
[10:42] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:42] <Blissex> steven43126: that is in the FAQ :-)
[10:42] <bronklavier> ace012: what the ubotu said -_-
[10:43] <holycow> i should write a python dealie for that, should be standard part of gnome
[10:43] <Squee> maccam94: you could also set up your own windows cd with ext3 driver in it alraedy (sorry if some of this seems wrong i'm running on 2 hours of sleep in 3 days
[10:43] <ubuntu> thanks everybody,
[10:43] <ubuntu> jrib: what fixres
[10:43] <ace012> ok yea i think i understand ill try it again
[10:43] <maccam94> Squee: no you're making sense, but even if the setup cd has the driver idk if it'll let you install to it... an interesting idea no less
[10:43] <steven43126> Blissex: as far as i can tell then *<EMAIL_ADDRESS>in the rewrite section should do the job ?
[10:43] <jrib> ubuntu: sorry, I meant to send taht to the bot "ubotu"
[10:43] <kitche> holycow: well gnome has a resolution app
[10:44] <steven43126> Blissex:  with the flags fFrs at then end of course
[10:44] <kai> hey guys! does anybody know where to disable the "NV" module?
[10:44] <Squee> maccam94: I actually think you might be right, you'd have to find a way to make it load when the setupcd is loading
[10:44] <kitche> kai: yes in your xorg.conf
[10:44] <ubuntu> jrib: let me try first , I will be back to say if itworks and how I did
[10:44] <ikonia> kai: in X or the kenrel
[10:44] <Squee> kai, restricted modules? I think i know where to find out the exact file
[10:44] <ikonia> I assume you mean you xorg
[10:44] <ikonia> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:44] <holycow> kitche, thats not what i'm talking about, it doesn't let you tell x what monitor make/model/refresh rates you have, thus x a lot of times simply gives you generic resolution options instead of monitor specific ones
[10:44] <kitche> Squee: anyways nv isn't a restricted module
[10:45] <Squee> oh then I have no idea
[10:45] <holycow> suse has this python utility infact
[10:45] <kitche> holycow: well xorg 7.1 does auto detection
[10:45] <Squee> i'm using ati not nvidia so i dont know it
[10:45] <kitche> which is better then what xorg 7.0 has
[10:45] <Jowi> kai: easiest solution is what ikonia said (sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg)
[10:45] <Rockj> anyone can help me with getting /dev/sequencer?
[10:45] <holycow> kitche, oh for f's sake just shutup already and tell that to all the people in this channel asking about how to setup refresh rates
[10:45] <holycow> jesus
[10:46] <kai> if just "nv" in xorg.conf is changed to nvidia, my x server doesnt start, i had this error before, and disabled the nv module somewhere else, but i cant remeber wherer...
[10:46] <Blissex> steven43126: can't remember now, ask in #exim.
[10:47] <Rickman> can anyone tell me why I can see the following files in my Samba share from my windows XP client (or, how can I hide them): .bash_logout .bash_profile .bashrc .nan_history .sudo_as_admin_successful....
[10:47] <steven43126> Blissex: just did lol MTA's give me a real headache thanks for the help
[10:47] <JoshIRL> Anyone want to help me in pm with xserver? I can't even log on to ubuntu, it sais something about xserver.
[10:47] <bronklavier> kai: are nvidia-glx and linux-restricted-modules installed?
[10:47] <holycow> kitche, i should probably appologize for being rude
[10:47] <Jimmey> JoshIRL, what's the error
[10:47] <holycow> sorry, not cool on this channel ... it just bugs me when we end up in the dog chasing tail conversations
[10:48] <jlouis_> Jowi: heh, it was my old Debian Sid kernel in the master records of /dev/hda. With an official ubuntu kernel I now have X ;)
[10:48] <Jimmey> JoshIRL, and what graphics card/device do you have?
[10:48] <sean> Hey folks - so I converted a friend to ubuntu, and it seems she ripped a lot of music into ogg vorbis format, and now she's gone and bought an incompatible mp3 player. So... what's the best way to convert ogg to mp3?
[10:48] <kitche> holycow: well it seems like ubuntu is set to one way instead of other ways sounds like how ##linux and other channels are
[10:48] <Jimmey> sean, try lame
[10:48] <kai> nvidia-glx is not insatlled, but linux-restricted modules are
[10:48] <Rickman> can someone help me with some SAMBA questions?
[10:49] <Jowi> jlouis_: glad you got it sorted :)
[10:49] <sean> Jimmey - I think lame will enconde WAVs to mp3, but how do I decode the oggs ot EAV?
[10:49] <matt8806suomi> i am trying to install ubuntu dapper on my brothers pc. the live session loads just fine then i click the install button and off i go. until step 3, where it can't find a keyboard. although during boot and the live session the keyboard is working CAN ANYONE HELP???
[10:49] <holycow> sean, lol! gotta love users :)
[10:49] <Jimmey> sean, ahh, I don't know
[10:49] <sean> Jimmey - WAV
[10:49] <matt8806suomi> in pm
[10:49] <holycow> kitche, *nod*
[10:49] <cM0ss> where can I find a url that will tell how to set fglrx up on a radeon 7500 mobility.....??
[10:50] <Jimmey> !ati
[10:50] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:50] <cM0ss> using dpkg-reconfig xserver-xorg doesn't work.
[10:50] <kai> nvidia-glx is not insatlled, but linux-restricted modules are
[10:50] <Blissex> cM0ss: don't use 'fglrx' for a 7500, use the native X driver in DRI mode.
[10:50] <Blissex> cM0ss: however I'd be surprised if either 'fglrx' or 'radeon' supported the Mobility version of the 7500.
[10:50] <cM0ss> doesn't have hardware acceleration like that
[10:51] <bronklavier> kai: install nvidia-glx
[10:51] <Blissex> cM0ss: it does.
[10:51] <kai> i have already installed the manuell drivers
[10:51] <steeltoes1234> hey question.
[10:51] <matt8806suomi> Install can't find keyboard!! Can anyone help?
[10:52] <karim> is there a network hotpluging system ? because actually on linux you need to do an ifup if you connect a newtork cable after the boot sequence
[10:52] <cM0ss> ok...I have the ati driver installed...how do I get the DRI mode to work.
[10:52] <Rickman> anyone know a good SAMBA xchat channel?
[10:52] <sean> Hmmm... I *should* be able to use oggdec to convert .ogg's to .wav, and somehow pipe that output into lame to convert it to mp3
[10:52] <Squee> matt8806suomi: what kind of keyboard?
[10:52] <steeltoes1234> i am new to linux.   i just got ubuntu installed.  but i dont have anysound.   i need to install drivers for my soundblaster audigy card.   where can i find drivers?
[10:52] <holycow>  bronklavier *ummm* he has an ati card, how is nvidia-glx going to help except crash his x? am i missing something?
[10:52] <chopchop_> matt8806suomi: just chose us keyboard man, it will be fine
[10:52] <gpitton> hello
[10:52] <bronklavier> holycow: sorry.  In with zsh now ;)
[10:53] <Squee> matt8806suomi: I THINK that audigy works out of the box... the only thing is it might come muted...
[10:53] <holycow> karim, not yet, in ked4 it will be done that way, i understand for now dhcp client is being patched up for that to be automatic
[10:53] <Rickman> help?  anyone?
[10:53] <steeltoes1234> where do i find drivers for my audigy card and for my Radeon 9600pro card?
[10:53] <chopchop_> steeltoes1234: read the ubuntuguide
[10:53] <karim> Jowi, the question is, yes but it's manual. on windows you don't need to start a service
[10:53] <holycow> bronklavier, *bonk* :-)
[10:53] <steeltoes1234> ok
[10:53] <Squee> Rickman: did you try #samba?
[10:53] <sean> Rickman - try #samba
[10:53] <chopchop_> steeltoes1234: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_configure_sound_to_work_properly_in_GNOME
[10:53] <Rickman> ok thanks...cool
[10:53] <karim> holycow, ok. I don't understand why it's KDE role to handle that
[10:53] <steeltoes1234> where can i find the ubuntu guide.    sorry i am very new to all this
[10:53] <steeltoes1234> thank you
[10:53] <kitche> karim: actually it is a service in windows also you just don't notice it
[10:54] <karim> holycow, it should be the job of a network daemon
[10:54] <Squee> steeltoes: ubuntuguide.org
[10:54] <chopchop_> no pm
[10:54] <cM0ss> Blissex: you have a url to tell how to start DRI mode using the ATI drivers?
[10:54] <Jowi> karim: usually the network should come up if you connect a cable, but sometimes it doesn't (like on my SO laptop) and a restart of the network is in order.
[10:54] <karim> kitche, I wonder why it's not been done in linux. windows have 7 years of advance on this level
[10:54] <bronklavier> holycow: then why's kai trying to use the 'nvidia' drivers for his ati card?
[10:54] <toby> anyone know how to create an .iso from a directory?
[10:55] <holycow> karim, it's not but who am i to argue with kde devs?  :) for now  the dhcp client doesn't have that capability tho
[10:55] <kai> i dont have an ati card..
[10:55] <bronklavier> toby: try man mkisofs
[10:55] <toby> cheers
[10:55] <Jowi> karim: another way of doing it is if you're connected to a router you can set up the network card with a static ip address.
[10:55] <HaMF> Hi
[10:55] <kai> i have a geforce 4 mx gfx card and instaled teh driver from nvidia page
[10:55] <holycow> bronklavier, i didn't think he was fglrx stuff is ati anyway ... regardless getting ati to do anything usefull is really a wast of time mostly
[10:55] <bronklavier> kai: what is the error X spits out then?
[10:55] <kai> the problem is that i have to disable the nv module complete,
[10:56] <kai> no screens found
[10:56] <karim> holycow, it shouldn't be dhcp client job. as kitche said it should be a daemon. In fact it should probably be hotplug role isn't it ?
[10:56] <kitche> kai: nv is only loaded in xorg.conf when x starts
[10:56] <KDan> how much RAM do you need to run Ubuntu with X windows?
[10:56] <cM0ss> kai: I have the same video and had to install legacy to make it work...dunno why.
[10:56] <chopchop_> kai: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29
[10:56] <kitche> karim: dhcpcd is a daemon and a client
[10:56] <chopchop_> kai: folow that
[10:56] <Squee> kdan 64 is ok for like fluxbox
[10:56] <karim> KDan, 64 probably
[10:56] <KDan> ie 512MB enough or will it struggle?
[10:56] <Squee> kdan that is plenty
[10:56] <karim> killefiz, ok
[10:56] <KDan> cool
[10:56] <Xenguy> KDan: plenty
[10:57] <Jimmey> KDan, 512's plenty
[10:57] <Jimmey> :-P
[10:57] <axee> is there a way to fix my ubuntu install, without loosing any data?
[10:57] <thoma1> Okay, I have my nvidia drivers installed, and they were wroking before, but now when I say glxinfo | grep rendering it says no.
[10:57] <Jowi> KDan: 512 is enough
[10:57] <karim> KDan, it's enough
[10:57] <holycow> well thats how kde4 people are looking at it, their new framework will think of it as a hotplug thing ... i don't create/maintain network daemon stuff just relaying last info i read up on this.
[10:57] <jlouis_> KDan: 512Mb is more than adequate
[10:57] <HaMF> is it possible to place a terminal window under all other windows? so that it's only visible, when all other windows are minimized (it should not be possible to minimize this terminal window)
[10:57] <HaMF> (gnome+metacity, if possible)
[10:57] <KDan> and i'll be able to use gnome with 512 then?
[10:57] <karim> HaMF, no
[10:57] <jlouis_> HaMF: you want to place a terminal window on the root window?
[10:57] <sktfeelssleepy> What is the complete tar command?
[10:58] <sktfeelssleepy> tar -xyzf
[10:58] <sktfeelssleepy> ??
[10:58] <Squee> hamf yes I if i understand you correctly look into xwinwrap
[10:58] <karim> KDan, yes. it can work with 384 fine
[10:58] <bronklavier> stkfeelssleepy: to do what?
[10:58] <thoma1> In the config file, It's changed from nv to nvidia, but it still says it's not enabled.
[10:58] <sktfeelssleepy> this is like the 30th time i've had to ask this.
[10:58] <karim> KDan, probably 256 also
[10:58] <sktfeelssleepy> to untar a package.
[10:58] <jlouis_> sktfeelssleepy: tar xvzf
[10:58] <kitche> sktfeelssleepy: for what? what format is it tar.gz or tar.bz2
[10:58] <holycow> KDan, i have run gnome on 64 mb and it was okay.  sluggish if you opened more than oen app at a time, or if you tried opening somethinghoggish like openoffice, but its doable.  gnome is very mindfull of your memory resource ... in 2.4 on a 64mb machine gnome would only occupy like 38 megs or so at bootup
[10:58] <bronklavier> sktfeelssleepy: tar xzf for a gzip package, tar xjf for bzip
[10:58] <HaMF> i'l look for it, Squee
[10:58] <sktfeelssleepy> It's a bz2?
[10:58] <jlouis_> x - eXtract; v - verbose, z - gzipped, f - the next parameter is the file
[10:59] <jlouis_> then use j
[10:59] <cM0ss> anyone know how to enable dri on a radeon video card?
[10:59] <jlouis_> tar xvjf
[10:59] <KDan> cool
[10:59] <KDan> thanks everyone
[10:59] <holycow> the biggest problem you would run into is when it starts swapping, linux kernel isn't particularly good when you get to that sort of situation >_>
[10:59] <kenotic> Is tHey
[10:59] <jlouis_> if you want permissions preserved, throw in a p
[10:59] <Squee> hamf: it would run it on the wallpaper, you can launch a terminal with no windows
[10:59] <kenotic> opps
[10:59] <HaMF> jlouis_, ehrmm...  if you explain, what the root window is, i could answear you question :))
[10:59] <kitche> jlouis_: well f means force
[10:59] <Jowi> HaMF: you can in pekwm (set the stacking to "always below") and for a cool effect press Mod4+F for fullscreen, making it the "background image" for the screen.
[10:59] <kenotic> is there a way to make gnome switch to anouther virtual desktop when my mouse gets to the edge of the screen?
[10:59] <bronklavier> kitche: not for tar
[11:00] <jlouis_> HaMF: the X window system regards the "bottom" of your screen as one big window. It is named the "root" window (not to be confused with the root user)
[11:00] <whazilla> can somebody help me install ati driver ?
[11:00] <cM0ss> whazilla: me too
[11:00] <whazilla> hehe
[11:00] <whazilla> ./me flashes cM0ss
[11:00] <HaMF> then: yes
[11:00] <holycow> kenotic, nothing by default exists for that.  you would need to write a program that starts up on login, that would watch your mouse position and when you did that it would make a call to gnome to do the desktop switch
[11:01] <thoma1> Okay, I had nividia installed correctly, to where it could play games, but now when I do glxinfo | grep rendering it say Direct Rendering: no.
[11:01] <jlouis_> kitche: not in tar. man tar and search for -f
[11:01] <thoma1> Everything is set up correctly, I can't tell why it's like this.
[11:01] <kitche> bronklavier: ah maybe not
[11:01] <kenotic> holycow, thanks. I thought there used to be a program that did that
[11:01] <bronklavier> whazilla, cM0ss: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:01] <HaMF> Jowi, i'll try this if there are no other possibilitys left ;) i didn't really plan to change my windomanager
[11:01] <holycow> no worries, its a cool idea
[11:02] <thoma1> So, I don't know how to fix this direct rendering problem?
[11:02] <whazilla> lol bronklavier
[11:02] <whazilla> that's an empty page :p
[11:02] <HaMF> Squee, xwinwrap does only work with xgl, did i understand that correctly?
[11:03] <holycow> whazilla, well we are helpfull, no?
[11:03] <holycow> :)
[11:03] <whazilla> lol
[11:03] <bronklavier> whazilla: it shouldn't be. at least here it fills up after a few seconds.
[11:03] <graveson> what command can i use to copy files from a multilevel directory to a single dir
[11:03] <thoma1> And I would like to get it fixed, but don't know how? :-\
[11:03] <Jowi> HaMF: metacity is quite fast, I agree. It is a bit dummed down nowadays though. pekwm is highly configurable though and comes with other nifty things though, such as tabbed windows. running it now with rox as a session manager/taskpanel.

[11:05] <cM0ss> I have ran the programs...my radeon does not support flgrx....I put ati back as the driver and am using it now...but I need hardware acceleration and am told DRI will do that....but don't know how to enable.
[11:05] <jme> I reinstalled and ran dpkg-reconfigure on it, but it's still broken to hell
[11:06] <jlouis_> graveson: Is there any limit to the depth of the dirs?
[11:06] <HaMF> hmm

[11:06] <steeltoes1234> chopchop.    ive been looking at that ubuntu guide about setting up sound.   it is all instructions on what to type in terminal.    this is all very new to me and i dont know what this all is or what commands i am typing
[11:06] <jjcs> anyone knows if Linksys WCP54GX works in Ubuntu?
[11:06] <Xenguy> graveson: something like:  find /path/to/dir/to/copy -type f -exec cp {} /path/to/target/dir \;

[11:06] <graveson> jlouis: no there is no limit
[11:06] <Xenguy> graveson: not tested
[11:06] <kitche> jme: it talks about /dev/mouse or no?
[11:06] <steeltoes1234> any ideas of how to learn how to use this ??
[11:06] <malachi> please if anyone here as patience and wouldnt mind helping me i would greatly appreciate it
[11:06] <jlouis_> graveson: listen to xenguy. You friend is find
[11:06] <jme> kitche: no, it goes to a blank screen
[11:06] <chopchop_> steeltoes1234: calm down
[11:06] <jme> plan is to nuke and reinstall
[11:06] <jlouis_> find(1) even
[11:06] <Red-Sox> I need to enable my synaptics hot corner for scrolling
[11:06] <chopchop_> steeltoes1234: do this
[11:07] <chopchop_> steeltoes1234: Alt + F2
[11:07] <bronklavier> malachi: what is it?
[11:07] <steeltoes1234> ok
[11:07] <chopchop_> steeltoes1234: then type xterm
[11:07] <HaMF> changing the windowmanager is imho always quite difficult, because i have configured my metacity so that it's ''perfect'' for me. there are only two features missing
[11:07] <malachi> i am trying to install limewire....and so far i cant figure this out...i tried alien adn adept but nothing
[11:07] <malachi> please someone walk me throught this thing
[11:07] <chopchop_> steeltoes1234: then do as the page says
[11:07] <bruenig> graveson, what I would do is do something like cp /whatever/* /newwhatever/, then do cp /whatever/*/* /newwhatever/, again and again until you get all the levels of the directory. Unless your directory is absurdly long that wouldn't take to long especially if you just used that same command and just added it by arrowing over
[11:07] <Spy> hi, i need to add usbnet to /etc/modules and i'm new in linux world ...what should exactly do or where i must go please ?
[11:07] <matt8806suomi> MALACHI DON'T INSTALL LIMEWIRE, INSTALL DC++
[11:08] <steeltoes1234> ok
[11:08] <malachi> look i dont know how to install anything
[11:08] <steeltoes1234> this is just all new to me thats all.
[11:08] <bronklavier> Spy: open up a terminal and type : sudo nano /etc/modules    , then add usbnet at the bottom of the file, press Ctrl-X and 'Y' to save
[11:08] <chopchop_> steeltoes1234: same for me as the first time
[11:09] <Spy> thx bronklavier :)
[11:09] <toby> bronklavier mkisofs was perfect
[11:09] <matt8806suomi> malachi goto pm
[11:09] <chopchop_> steeltoes1234: you need someone to ask, luckily i got my bro
[11:09] <bronklavier> :)
[11:09] <Doc__> what program is need for burning audio cds and data cds
[11:09] <fdsd> hey guys, does anyone know how I can make a multi volume cd (I guess two sessions) I want to burn two iso files I have in each session, any idea?
[11:09] <steeltoes1234> cool.  then im not the only one!    how did you learn to use it?
[11:09] <koli> is it worth it to change to ubuntu????
[11:09] <TheGateKeeper> !frostwire
[11:09] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[11:09] <HaMF> isn't there a possibility to achieve this without changing the windowmanager? xwinwrap does not work - unfortunately
[11:09] <chopchop_> steeltoes1234: ask my bro, that all i need to do
[11:09] <steeltoes1234> lol
[11:09] <malachi> i cant pm
[11:09] <steeltoes1234> cool  well thanks for the help
[11:10] <bronklavier> fdsd: k3b is able to, but I do not know of any GTK2 apps. You COULD try GnomeBaker though, but I personally think k3b is quite good
[11:10] <chopchop_> :)
[11:10] <gandolfthewizard> hi all
[11:10] <matt8806suomi> malachi, why not
[11:10] <fdsd> bronklavier, I was thinking more of cdrecord and mkisofs
[11:10] <matt8806suomi> what app are you using
[11:10] <bronklavier> fdsd: sorry, did not read your post correctly
[11:10] <graveson> thanks guys
[11:10] <bruenig> graveson, that work?
[11:11] <fdsd> bronklavier, its okay, this is just confusing because it seems no one is doing what I am doing
[11:11] <lostinc> Does anyone have their A+ certs
[11:11] <graveson> bruenig: yes that is working
[11:11] <gandolfthewizard> looking for some help
[11:11] <matt8806suomi> malachi what application are you using for the chat
[11:11] <TJ> is there a place where i can get the edgy audio files, i'd like to get the new sounds without the headache of beta software
[11:11] <kitche> lostinc: what about A+ cert and it's sorta off-topic
[11:12] <kung> gn8
[11:12] <lostinc> Well kitche I have no seperate room to really ask it in
[11:12] <baconbacon> why an "a+ cert"
[11:12] <bronklavier> fdsd: why not just extract the files from the ISO, then burn them?
[11:13] <gandolfthewizard> i was wondering if there is a way to run icrosoft office 2003 on linux
[11:13] <HaMF> hm okey. another question: ;)
[11:13] <lostinc> i am looking at studying for the cert and well I am looking for others who have taken it
[11:13] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone fancy helping me setup "pan" in #Paddy_EIRE so I can start using some newsgroups
[11:13] <kitche> lostinc: A+ means really nothing anymore, it's good on the resume and that's about it
[11:13] <HaMF> is it a known "bug" that the global shortcuts don't work, as soon as a menu is opened?
[11:13] <cM0ss> bronklavier: the dri module is already in X11....I still have no hardware acceleration
[11:14] <matt8806suomi> which cert LOSTINC??
[11:14] <lostinc> Well kitche that is what its about isnt it? I figure I have been turned down enough because I have several degrees but no certs
[11:14] <fdsd> bronklavier, well the iso cant be modified, they are special hfs/iso hybird iso files
[11:15] <lostinc> I figure get the A+ cert then the Network+ cert then the Linux + cert
[11:15] <fdsd> hey guys, I want to burn two types of livecds to a disc, for example, I have gotten ubuntu powerpc livecd 6.06 and x86 livecd down to 200mb, I want to make one disc that will allow me to boot off both, I can make the x86 iso on the first session so PCs can boot off it, and put the powerpc livecd on the second session so I can hold down option at boot on a mac and boot off it, but my question is how do I burn both Isos to a disc?  I assume mkis
[11:15] <fdsd> ofs or cdrecord can do it.. Any ideas?
[11:15] <Wallakoala> does anybody know how to install a .pcf font?
[11:15] <ubuntu> Hello guys I am back, I don-t have any error now, but I still can start my ubuntu , the msg is THE XSERVER LOOKS LIKE IT_S NOT well configured, but my xorg.conf is just like the one in the live cd and I erase the wacom lines. what can i do now
[11:15] <kitche> fdsd: you have to combine the two isos
[11:16] <gandolfthewizard> hey all i am a new user of linux and i have no clue what yu can do and what you can't do i need to know if you can use microsoft office 2003
[11:16] <fdsd> kitche, not possible
[11:16] <kitche> fdsd: well it's possible
[11:16] <joselitux> hi all
[11:16] <alex-debian> gandolfthewizard, use OpenOffice
[11:16] <cM0ss> gandolfthewizard: use open office
[11:16] <fdsd> kitche, That isnt going to work.. If I could make two sessions on the disk, it will work fine
[11:16] <gandolfthewizard> open office what is that
[11:17] <cM0ss> gandolfthewizard: go look at it.
[11:17] <gandolfthewizard> i can't its for schoo
[11:17] <JoshIRL> Can anyone help me with my xserver in PM?
[11:17] <JoshIRL> accually i can just do it in here, it slowed down. :S
[11:17] <cM0ss> gandolfthewizard: very similar to ms office
[11:17] <gandolfthewizard> i need to use visio
[11:17] <JoshIRL> I reconfig'd my xserver, went through it all, and it's still saying there's no xserver or i didn't configure it right. any idea why?
[11:17] <HaMF> (what is visio?)
[11:18] <gandolfthewizard> its a programming software that helps with making flowcharts
[11:18] <gandolfthewizard> can you use wine
[11:18] <alex-debian> gandolfthewizard, use WineHQ to run Windows programms, for example Visio
[11:18] <Xenguy> HaMF: m$'s version of dia  ;-)
[11:18] <gandolfthewizard> ok ty
[11:18] <cM0ss> you have flowchart programs for lunux
[11:18] <lostinc> Visio is what Dia should have been but i have to say Visio is better
[11:18] <HaMF> lol k
[11:18] <gandolfthewizard> yeah
[11:18] <TheGateKeeper> gandolfthewizard: you are either going to have to use wine, or windows in vmware or dual boot
[11:18] <ubuntu> Hello guys I am back, I don-t have any error now, but I still can start my ubuntu , the msg is THE XSERVER LOOKS LIKE IT_S NOT well configured, but my xorg.conf is just like the one in the live cd and I erase the wacom lines. what can i do now
[11:19] <TheGateKeeper> gandolfthewizard: Windows to Ubuntu Transition Guide: http://www.pcmech.com/show/os/917/
[11:19] <JoshIRL> xserver = devil
[11:19] <gandolfthewizard> well i am new i just got this linux installed n my laptop that was given to me it had no os system and i had no money to get one so i thought that i would try this out
[11:19] <JoshIRL> I reconfig'd my xserver, went through it all, and it's still saying there's no xserver or i didn't configure it right. any idea why?
[11:19] <Rickman> How can I configure VSFTP to allow users that login, to place files into the /var/www folder, so that I can upload webpage files, etc.?
[11:20] <kitche> JoshIRL: probably missing /dev/mouse0 probably but it's hard to tell, sicne your xorg.conf has to be pastebin
[11:20] <matt8806suomi> gandolfthewizard,  use openoffice
[11:20] <Blissex> JoshIRL: from the console (CTRL-ALT-F1) try to start it with the 'Xorg' command. If it starts, terminate it with CTRL-ALT=BACKSPACE. Anyhow the last few lines it prints should be why it does not work.
[11:20] <JB[away] > Rickman you want to configure you FTP Server that only the user can jump to his userdir?
[11:21] <phichipsi> i have a question to the gpl: if i use icons-sets that are licenced after gpl - can i use them for commercial websites?
[11:21] <cM0ss> Blissex: if the dri module is in X11 how do I make it load and run for hardware acceleration?
[11:21] <cM0ss> modprobe dri?
[11:21] <phichipsi> i mean its a company but its not selling anything online ...
[11:21] <Xenguy> phichipsi: certainly
[11:21] <kitche> phichipsi: yes since gpl doesn't stop commercial usage
[11:21] <Xenguy> phichipsi: GPL is not anti-commercial
[11:21] <HaMF> well gandolfthewizard: just take a look at OpenOffice. You'll find it in "Applications" > Office. It's a quite good alternative to Office 2003
[11:22] <we2by> how do I add alot png files as wallpaper with a few clicks?
[11:22] <phichipsi> kitche, Xenguy, thanks. i have problem reading gpl as the english is tough
[11:22] <Blissex> cM0ss: if you install the plain 'radeon' driver from Xorg and configure it right it will automagically accelerate on 7500. I think there are full details at DRI.FreeDesktop.org or similar.
[11:22] <bronklavier> JoshIRL: if you 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log', does it say anything?
[11:22] <Rickman> jb[away]  not sure I understand your question.  Right now, when I login to the ftp site, I am immediately directed to my homedir on the linux box.  I want to be able to put files and directories into the /var/www folders so that I can copy .hmtl files for several websites that I want to create on the linux box
[11:22] <JoshIRL> I gotta reboot and boot from ubuntu to tell you lol
[11:22] <Lobster> phichipsi there is a german version too I think
[11:22] <JoshIRL> Give me a minute, i'll be back. Lol
[11:22] <kitche> phichipsi: anyways novell and other companies would have to stop using gpl software if it was anti-corporate
[11:22] <Jowi> phichipsi: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/translations.html
[11:22] <CrazyMonkey> If i activate root by giving it a password can I deactivate it later?
[11:22] <zeus77> hi all.  having a boot problem... during splash, status bar stops, it kicks me out to text mode, and then seems to hang after fsck reports that my filesystem is okay.  is there an interactive boot mode?
[11:22] <bronklavier> JoshIRL, I have to go, sorry, good luck
[11:23] <^rC^> good night !

[11:23] <Blissex> cM0ss: or http://DRI.SourceForge.net/

[11:23] <HaMF> * gandolfthewizard<EMAIL_ADDRESS>left #ubuntu. <-- another satisfied user :)
[11:23] <sktfeelssleepy> does gstreamer0.10 exit?
[11:23] <sktfeelssleepy> exist
[11:23] <phichipsi> kitche, same usage with lgpl i guess then ...
[11:23] <matt8806suomi> WILL UPGRADING TO "EDGY EFT", cause problems with AIGLX??
[11:24] <phichipsi> Jowi, ahh thanks
[11:24] <sktfeelssleepy> I can't get any of these stupid last fm clients to work.

[11:24] <^rC^> Is there any way to close a DVD-multisession with k3b or cdrecord ??
[11:24] <Rickman> kitche.  ok, no problem.  but what section do I edit.  I looked at it and nothing really made sense to me as to how to set up this share.
[11:24] <Jowi> phichipsi: no probs
[11:24] <Sktisangry> My sound works fine, everything works fine but when I go to use last fm it freezes on start up.
[11:24] <Sktisangry> Last exit doesn't work.
[11:24] <Rickman> iKitche.  is there a better way to do waht I'm doing for the multiple websites that i"m trying to create?
[11:24] <bronklavier> ^rC^: yes, it seems so, there is and option 'end multisession' when you burn a DVD
[11:24] <JB[away] > Rickman; chroot_local_user=YES
[11:24] <Sktisangry> lst proxy is a crock of crap.
[11:24] <Sktisangry> wtf people.
[11:24] <Jowi> !info gstreamer0.10-0

[11:26] <Commander-Crowe> ok I'm installing Ubuntu and it staled during the partitioning at 15%
[11:26] <Commander-Crowe> I need help
[11:26] <Sktisangry> This is getting to be more trouble than it's worth.
[11:26] <snoop> anyone know how can I download a win32codec?
[11:26] <Sktisangry> I don't know if my soundcard has the right kernels.
[11:26] <Xenguy> phichipsi: /b

[11:27] <Sktisangry> I don't know why all the sudden the sound on last fm doesn't work but everything else works fine.
[11:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about w32codec - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[11:27] <snoop> thanks
[11:28] <Xenguy> phichipsi: nm, just /me returning from 'away' :-) ...
[11:28] <Sktisangry> Why anyone would want to spend all their time just configuring all this crap before they actually get to do anything with it is beyond me.
[11:28] <odyssevs> Any of you had experience with the broadcom43?
[11:28] <Jaak> Hellow
[11:28] <Sktisangry> It took me 3 days to figure out my sound problems, I've had to reinstall the stupid program THREE times in the past week.
[11:28] <Sktisangry> HOW DOES ANYONE GET ANY ENJOYMENT OUT OF THIS
[11:28] <Xenguy> phichipsi: yes, you can sell GPL stuff; if you modify GPL stuff and distribute it, however, you must also distribute the source code containing the changes (basically)
[11:28] <odyssevs> Sktisangry, limited social lives.
[11:28] <kitche> Sktisangry: linux is about controlling your system and not letting it control you
[11:29] <Sktisangry> Well it's controlling the heck outta me.
[11:29] <HaMF> Sktisangry, don't shout please
[11:29] <Sktisangry> I'm sorry.
[11:29] <Sktisangry> But I'm getting so frustrated.
[11:29] <nuke> hey all, how do i check what's my graphic card?
[11:29] <matt8806suomi> right on the mark, kitche
[11:29] <Sktisangry> It seems like every time I turn around and do one thing, 3 other things need to be done.
[11:29] <odyssevs> Don't be sorry buddy. Anger is the healthiest thing in the world.
[11:29] <Jowi> Sktisangry: i think the main idea is to upset people and hope they seek out #ubuntu so everyone can have a part of their pain :)
[11:29] <jj05y> can some one gimmie a hand with an xgl install?
[11:29] <we2by> ot here
[11:29] <HaMF> lol, Jowi
[11:29] <matt8806suomi> jj05y can you go pm
[11:29] <we2by> ask in the ubuntu xgl channel
[11:29] <Sktisangry> I just don't understand it.
[11:30] <we2by> jj05y, there are howto's on beryl website
[11:30] <torchie> linux is really about increasing the size of your e-penis
[11:30] <kitche> matt8806suomi: well edgy has xserver-xorg version that has aiglx built in by default
[11:30] <Sktisangry> I don't know how to configure or compile things, things that call for certain things don't exist but are in the latest state on my computer.
[11:30] <odyssevs> Am I seriously privileged enough to be the only broadcom43 owner/operator in the room?
[11:30] <torchie> but I kid.
[11:30] <phichipsi> Xenguy, and as these are icons i only display on my website, that will be fine :)
[11:30] <we2by> jj05y, http://forum.beryl-project.org/
[11:30] <HaMF> you try to get the last#fm-radio to work?, Sktisangry
[11:30] <Sktisangry> Is there like something I'm missing?
[11:30] <torchie> anyway
[11:30] <Jowi> need to sleep. have fun everyone
[11:30] <jj05y> i'm on pm now,
[11:30] <Sktisangry> That's what I'm doing, HaMF.
[11:30] <Sktisangry> But it doesn't work for me.
[11:30] <WhiteNoise> ctrl-alt-f1 just gives me a black screen -- do I need to start some service to get text terminals an f1 and up?
[11:30] <Xenguy> phichipsi: agreed
[11:30] <torchie> what should you do if the installer stalls at 15%, then stops completely at 47%?
[11:30] <Sktisangry> It hangs on start up.
[11:30] <zeus77> what key do i press during bootup to get an interactive mode?
[11:30] <Sktisangry> It says "Configuring station" and then just dies.
[11:30] <kitche> odyssevs: I m a bcm43xx user
[11:30] <Sktisangry> It worked fine UNTIL yesterday.
[11:31] <phichipsi> Xenguy, wonderfull!
[11:31] <Sktisangry> I don't understand how in a period of like a couple days since I've used it it just died.
[11:31] <HaMF> hmm
[11:31] <HaMF> give me a minute
[11:31] <jj05y> can some one gimmie a hand with an xgl compiz install?
[11:31] <odyssevs> kitche, I love you. What's the secret?! I've done ndiswrapper -i bcm43xx.inf with the respective sys, hooked it on to the hardware.. and I then find eth1 believing it is a wireless device.
[11:31] <Sktisangry> There's some issue with alsa, but if that's the case why didn't it die before?
[11:32] <odyssevs> Did the module, added ndiswrapper to /etc/modules, rebooted, and iwlist eth1 scan returns naught.
[11:32] <Sktisangry> I just got my sound configured the way I want for EVERY single other thing I have.
[11:32] <matt8806suomi> jj05j start a pm with me, i just did that same thing 2 days ago
[11:32] <Sktisangry> I have sound playing youtube AND my mp3 player.
[11:32] <felipe__> Hello, has anyone installed Joomla on Ubuntu 6.06?
[11:32] <cM0ss> bah...no hardware acceleration for the radeon mobility....that's great!!!
[11:32] <kitche> odyssevs: well I don't use ndiswrapper I use madwifi
[11:33] <odyssevs> Madwifi works with bcm43?
[11:33] <odyssevs> Is yours 14e4:4320 or does it not matter?
[11:33] <HaMF> does the last.fm-player support alsa?
[11:33] <Sktisangry> IT must have.
[11:33] <Sktisangry> It use to!
[11:33] <kitche> odyssevs: yes it does I have a motorola bcm43xx card
[11:33] <Sktisangry> I've had my sound configured the same way for at least half a week now.
[11:34] <Shadowpillar__> HaMF: if you have the OSS emulation modules running
[11:34] <Sktisangry> And it didn't start dying until now.
[11:34] <Sktisangry> oss emulation?
[11:34] <Red-Sox> I need to enable my synaptics hot corner for scrolling
[11:34] <odyssevs> OK so madwifi (only heard of it once) is a substitute for ndiswrapper?
[11:34] <ubuntu> how to mount a disk hda1 in kubuntu
[11:34] <Sktisangry> let me guess that would screw everything i've done up.
[11:34] <ace_012> can someone help me change the resolution on ubuntu all that comes up is the 640 one
[11:34] <bruenig> ubuntu mounting disks is the same regardless of kubuntu, ubuntu, or fedora for that matter
[11:34] <Shadowpillar__> Sktisangry: but they usually auto load so I dont think that's it
[11:35] <odyssevs> ubuntu, look at fstab, or sys > admin > disks.
[11:35] <odyssevs> !fstab
[11:35] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[11:35] <Shadowpillar__> Anyone here have Intel ICH sound?
[11:35] <kitche> odyssevs: it's just like ndiswrapper but to me it's easier
[11:35] <sjm> I have a wireless card that is appears to be working but does not appear to get an ip address.  I have the router set up to do dhcp.  When I run iwconfig I can see that ath0 is associated with my wireless router (I can see the router's ssid, bit rate, Tx-power etc...), but when I run ifconfig, there is no ip address.  I went into the routers web configuration and I can see that my wireless card has been given an ip address.  Any clues?
[11:35] <ace_012> can someone help me with the resolution thing
[11:35] <ubuntu> odyssevs: nothing there
[11:35] <odyssevs> kitche, website (madwifi.org) says it deals with the atheros chipset.
[11:36] <HaMF> Sktisangry, seem's like i cannot help you :S works fine here :|
[11:36] <Sktisangry> Do you have alsa set in firefox?
[11:36] <jvernon> I am experiencing a chirping noise when my mouse moves, anyone experience that?
[11:36] <Shadowpillar> jvernon: sounds like EMI interference
[11:36] <Sktisangry> How did it just die for me, and works fine for everyone else?
[11:36] <zeus77> in RH and Fedora, the "I" key during boot gives an interactive mode where you can skip broken stuff in the boot sequence.  does this exist in Ubuntu?
[11:36] <odyssevs> ubuntu, your fstab is empty?
[11:37] <Shadowpillar> Sktisangry: have an .asoundrc file?
[11:37] <jvernon> Shadowpillar: Any idea how to fix?
[11:37] <kitche> odyssevs: it did when it first came out
[11:37] <Shadowpillar> jvernon: are your mic and line levels up?
[11:37] <Sktisangry> I don't know, I don't know where to find it.
[11:37] <HaMF> Do you have alsa set in firefox? <-- me?
[11:37] <Sktisangry> Yah HaMF

[11:37] <Shadowpillar> Sktisangry: so what is the whole problem again?
[11:37] <HaMF> nope. how do i do that?
[11:38] <Sktisangry> Alright
[11:38] <odyssevs> kitche http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility does not list bcm43..
[11:38] <Sktisangry> I downloaded last.fm player and it's worked fine.
[11:38] <Sktisangry> Until yesterday it died and hung on startup.
[11:38] <Arrick> I need to run my xp pro setup disc, is there any way to scan it anc see if its bad in ubuntu? It wont read all the files in my laptop
[11:38] <jvernon> shadowpillar: no, they are all the way down
[11:38] <Seyen> Hey, guys. I have a quick question. Is there a quick/easy way to set up grub? I need access my Windows which on the other HD.
[11:38] <Sktisangry> I've read something about it not supporting alsa, but that wouldn't make any sense because it's played fine until now.
[11:38] <Shadowpillar> jvernon: usb or ps/2 mouse?
[11:38] <bruenig> !grub > Seyen
[11:39] <Arrick> and also what is the program for copying a cd in ubuntu breezy?

[11:39] <Sktisangry> The #audioscrobbler room is worthless because nobody in the past 2 days has talked at all.
[11:39] <Shadowpillar> Sktisangry: is it flash based?
[11:39] <Sktisangry> I honestly don't know.
[11:39] <kitche> odyssevs: you can try http://random.blackworlds.org/bcm43xx-how-to.txt
[11:39] <Sktisangry> Sound work fine for EVERYTHING else.
[11:39] <Shadowpillar> jvernon: hrmm that might do it, my sound gets funky with wireless shit
[11:39] <Seyen> !grub goes in the console? How do I bring that up? I don't see a menu option for that.

[11:41] <Sktisangry> I've got it set to aoss right now
[11:41] <WhiteNoise> ctrl-alt-f1 just gives me a black screen, despite having /sbin/getty running on tty1-6.  This seems to be true since moving to the nvidia video driver.  Any ideas?
[11:41] <Arrick> Ace ubotu is a bot

[11:42] <HaMF> Shadowpillar, what's the difference between nano and pico? (and don't say 10^-3 now :))
[11:42] <jhony> I want to talk with another people of the world about Ubuntu
[11:42] <Shadowpillar> HaMF: nano is a pico clone
[11:42] <jhony> anyone to chat?
[11:42] <Arrick> erUSUL which comes default in the breezy install?
[11:43] <Shadowpillar> jhony: #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:43] <HaMF> man pico shows the manual of nano :S
[11:43] <Arrick> and how do I use it?
[11:43] <ace_012> alrighty can anyone help me with the resolution thing?
[11:43] <mikeconcepts> correction http://mmcdaniel6.googlepages.com

[11:43] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:43] <erUSUL> ace_012: the fact that you can see the letters as you type the password does not mean that the program does not see them...
[11:43] <Shadowpillar> HaMF: nano is a pico clone
[11:43] <jhony> Shadowpillar: Ok, thanks
[11:43] <erUSUL> !password
[11:43] <ubotu> Forgot your password? Boot into recovery mode. What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords
[11:43] <Sktisangry> I don't see it say esd in that firefox thing.
[11:43] <HaMF> well....
[11:43] <Shadowpillar> HaMF: and pico is linked for convienence
[11:43] <erUSUL> ace_012: Don't see *** in password  prompts?
[11:43] <HaMF> kk
[11:43] <Shadowpillar> when you type pico, it's just nano
[11:43] <ace_012> erUSUL: i see it asking for password
[11:43] <HaMF> ty
[11:44] <ace_012> erUSUL: but when i try to type it doesnt show anything so i guess it just confusses me with what im typing
[11:44] <kitche> Shadowpillar: well pico and nano are two different apps but they look the same
[11:44] <Ace> i have a drive that I am not able to boot from, what is the best method of recovery? Should I do a new install on another drive, and then copy /etc/ /bin/ ... etc over? or should I do a disk copy from here on a windows druve?
[11:44] <Sktisangry> I srsly don't want to have to do this crap all over again.
[11:44] <cipher_nemo> question, more than support... moving from win32 to Debian and I'm really annoyed with the complexity of just getting my PC up and running with all the devices (updated me kernel and lost my ability to mount my dvd drive). The iirc support for debian is lackluster at best... is ubuntu a better option community support and just getting a system up and running in x with all devices?
[11:44] <kitche> Shadowpillar: nano is newer then pico
[11:45] <axee> Ace, i had a little problem similar. Im not a linux guru, but i used a knoppix live CD to get to my files, then i just uploaded the ones i wanted to keep, and reinstalled ubuntu
[11:45] <axee> dont take my advice by any means, im really just a super noob
[11:45] <Sktisangry> maybe i should try and reinstall stupid lastfm?
[11:45] <odyssevs> kitche is there a general test which will prove whether a wifi card is functioning basically?
[11:46] <Shadowpillar> kitche: I KNOW THAT
[11:46] <Arrick> please tell me how to use the nautilas to copy a cd someone?
[11:46] <Shadowpillar> kitche: again, I said, Nano is a pico clone
[11:46] <Arrick> in breezy
[11:46] <erUSUL> !password > ace_012
[11:46] <Sktisangry> But see if it were firefox then lastproxy wouldn't work either.
[11:46] <Sktisangry> but last proxy works.
[11:46] <yarddog> !caps
[11:46] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[11:46] <Shadowpillar> kitche: and in ubuntu, pico is symlinked (or hardlinked) to the nano binary
[11:46] <kitche> odyssevs: yeah try pinging something anywyas my bcm43xx card works out of the box
[11:46] <Sktisangry> but i want the stupid player.
[11:46] <Sktisangry> because i'm a nerd.
[11:46] <brian98> Arrick, stick cd in right click on icon copy cd
[11:46] <erUSUL> ace_012: that's normal the program does not echo nothing so nobody can oversee your password (other programs use * or a dot)
[11:47] <neoneurone> Hi, I need somebody to test the .package file from an opensource game

[11:54] <dan_> my mistake
