[00:00] <George2> hi, i had a go at install kubuntu-desktop, didn't like it, so reverted back to gnome. howeever, now i'm having lots of graphic problems.
[00:00] <George2> for some reason, i seem to be using a radeon driver when i have an ati card, how do i change this?
[00:01] <dronix> George2: thats ati
[00:01] <aelin> k seriously I think I'll smash my PC soon lol
[00:01] <dr_willis> edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set it back to  the driver you want - is one way George2   - but  that shouldent of changed.
[00:01] <Dwade09> Slart,  thank you for your help.
[00:01] <George2> oh
[00:01] <dr_willis> George2:  what is your video card?
[00:01] <Slart> Dwade09: ahh.. I have to disable adblock.. I guess it uses some nasty ad-site for the commercial before the content.. but I could only download the advertisment.. not the main stuff
[00:01] <George2> ati x1300 mobile
[00:01] <Slart> dronix: yes..tried to get cnbc's flash player to work
[00:01] <Dwade09> Slart,  yes that is what i got.
[00:01] <dr_willis> Slart:  seen issues like that befor.
[00:01] <bromic94> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[00:02] <bromic94> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[00:02] <bromic94> which one of those do i need to know to do dual screens
[00:02] <heath|OTG> I have a Belkin docking station that has a dvi out on it, lspci shows the added VGA controller, how do I make X use it?
[00:02] <Slart> dr_willis: I guess that's what we get for using adblocking software =/
[00:02] <dr_willis> bromic94:  tats saying you got an Intel video card.. that has 2  Outputs on it.. looks like to me.
[00:02] <dr_willis> Slart:  i will keep adblock :) and phhhht with the videos
[00:02] <flugh> Dwade: im in on this late, is the issue something like firefox freezing when you try to play a flash video?
[00:03] <Dwade09> Slart, thank you so much. for your help.
[00:03] <fungihead> for dual screens read up on xinerama
[00:03] <aka> hello I have a new Dell Studio laptop with an Intel WiFi 5100 wireless card.  I installed ubuntu 8.10 and it finds the card and connects to my wireless network but I have no interenet.  I can't even ping the router :\
[00:03] <Dwade09> flugh,  no i was trying to download that video
[00:03] <dr_willis> Slart:  im seeing way too many sites that are pratically unuseable without adblock
[00:03] <George2> also, during a hardware test, i get teh error "impossible with fglrx" for "the following resolution was detected"
[00:03] <aka> does anyone have any idea what would be wrong with my internet?
[00:03] <Slart> Dwade09: you're welcome
[00:03] <flugh> ah, gotcha.
[00:03] <fungihead> aka: do u have a IP address?
[00:03] <dronix> aka: you need to install the driver for you wirelesscard
[00:03] <Slart> dr_willis: hehe.. yes, I'll just find another site.. it's a big internet out there
[00:03] <George2> dr_willis: yeah, i feel really sorry for ie users. they're getting more desperate as times get harder
[00:03] <slimjim> hey can anyone tell me in terminal mode how i add respostors to my current list
[00:03] <DaemonLee> Okay. Here's my full problem. If I visit a website (local network, on my own server) that is trying to deliver a PHP page, my firefox offers to download it, instead of displaying it. I do it locally on the machine, and it works fine. I'm doing the WTF?!
[00:04] <jrib> !repos | slimjim
[00:04] <bromic94> dr_willis: so what would i need to go do dual screening
[00:04] <Slart> DaemonLee: the webserver is configured incorrectly
[00:04] <aka> fungihead: yes I do
[00:04] <FoolsRun> I'll try one more time :)  I'm having a problem with sshfs: when I mount a remote file system from the command line with the sshfs command it works fine, but when I add a line to fstab and mount it that way, my user can't read or write to the mount point.
[00:04] <Slart> DaemonLee: those pages are supposed to be executed on the webserver iirc.. not offered for download.. try checking the mime type on the server
[00:04] <slimjim> the thing is this is not ubuntu it is a deb based distro but not ubuntu and not debian direct
[00:05] <jrib> slimjim: then this isn't the right channel...
[00:05] <slimjim> the distro does not have a direct IRC support page
[00:05] <aka> fungihead: I have an IP and it is in the DHCP ip list in my routewr
[00:05] <slimjim> can it not be done thur terminal and cmd line
[00:05] <oCean_> DaemonLee: is the php module loaded in apache?
[00:05] <aka> I am wondering if I need to disable my nic to get wireless to worjk
[00:05] <jrib> slimjim: but unless your distro did something very stupid, ubottu gave you directions on adding repositories in ubuntu through the command line that should work
[00:05] <Slart> FoolsRun: isn't there a parametr for the fstab line that sets what users are allowed to do with the mounted stuff?
[00:05] <DaemonLee> oCean_, Any advice on how to look?
[00:06] <slimjim> ok just making sure htank jrip
[00:06] <fungihead> aka: doubt it, shouldnt effect it
[00:06] <FoolsRun> Slart: possibly, none of the tutorials on sshfs have mentioned it
[00:06] <DaemonLee> I do have the libapache2-mod-php5
[00:06] <dr_willis> FoolsRun:  its getting ran by root when  ran from fstab.. so i think theres some extra options you need to 'allow others'
[00:06] <DaemonLee> Installed.
[00:06] <fungihead> aka: can u get internet when u wire into the router?
[00:06] <oCean_> DaemonLee: "sudo apache2ctl -M"
[00:06] <aka> fungihead: yes
[00:06] <jrib> !lamp > DaemonLee
[00:06] <oCean_> DaemonLee: that will show a full list of all enabled modules. See if php5 is there
[00:06] <fungihead> aka: not sure then, thats kinda odd, wireless can be funny like that
[00:06] <Slart> FoolsRun: hmm.. I'm not 100% sure.. but I would start checking there.. man page for mount might give you some info.. or man fstab
[00:07] <demon> i need help i cant install Gstreamer when i do i dont have sound any more pls help
[00:07] <FoolsRun> Slart: alright, thanks
[00:07] <aka> fungihead: :\

[00:09] <oCean_> bromic94: sorry, no
[00:10] <jrib> giggsey_: xchat is in the repositories
[00:10] <jrib> !software > giggsey_
[00:10] <Petein> ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 22: Connection refused.. this is my machine.how can i fix that? i have openssh-server installed
[00:10] <giggsey_> jrib: I've got them all enabled
[00:10] <bruce89> !sound | demon
[00:10] <jrib> giggsey_: so what is the issue?
[00:10] <bromic94> can anyone help?
[00:10] <giggsey_> It's not there :P
[00:10] <demon> !mp3
[00:10] <jrib> giggsey_: pastebin: apt-cache policy xchat
[00:10] <giggsey_> I'm running jauty [sp], and it's not in the universe repo
[00:11] <jrib> giggsey_: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty help...
[00:11] <nonewmsgs> hello.  my windows partition is jacked and i want to delete the partition and reinstall it but i don't want to lose my ubuntu.  iirc there is a way to use dd to do this.
[00:11] <IntuitiveNipple> giggsey_: I have xchat on Jaunty
[00:11] <bruce89> giggsey_: sudo aptitude install xchat-{gnome}
[00:11] <giggsey_> ok
[00:11] <H2> Is there a good simple official-looking gnome theme?
[00:11] <giggsey_> Aha, aptitude found it
[00:11] <bruce89> giggsey_: remove the {} bit
[00:12] <IntuitiveNipple> giggsey_: Installed: 2.8.6-2.1ubuntu4 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages
[00:12] <oCean_> !themes > H2
[00:12] <H2> erm, yeah i use gnome-look
[00:12] <H2> i was looking for specific names lol
[00:13] <DaemonLee> Hey. I did the LAMP install...
[00:13] <DaemonLee> and still, it's asking me if I want to download a PHTML file.
[00:13] <DaemonLee> O.o
[00:13] <kaleid__> hhelo
[00:13] <jrib> DaemonLee: did you read the troubleshooting section?  Also, .phtml extensions may not work by default.  Try .php
[00:13] <kaleid__> hello
[00:13] <H2> no
[00:13] <H2> it happens
[00:13] <skfunnyboy> what is the time to receive shipit cd ?
[00:14] <H2> php gets read as phtml
[00:14] <fungihead> nonewmsgs: when u put the windows disk in it will give you a list of partitions, just lick on the windows one and ignore the others
[00:14] <H2> dunno why
[00:14] <H2> happened to me before
[00:14] <DaemonLee> jrib, same with PHP extensions.
[00:14] <H2> i just reinstalled the damn os
[00:14] <FloodBot1> H2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:14] <nonewmsgs> fungihead, it wont screw my grub
[00:14] <oCean_> DaemonLee: I asked you to check if php was enabled
[00:14] <oCean_> DaemonLee: Have you checked that?
[00:15] <fungihead> nonewmsgs: ooh dunno, but the other partitions will be fine, i know that much
[00:15] <oCean_> DaemonLee: because THAT module tells apache how to interpret .php .phtml and .php3 files
[00:15] <nonewmsgs> fungihead, thanks
[00:15] <DaemonLee> oCean_, How do I do that? I'm confused.
[00:15] <fungihead> nonewmsgs: and u can edit the grub menu somehow, read up a lil before u do it
[00:15] <flugh> thanks to whoever mentioned xchat-gnome a minute ago. thought xchat had just gone crappy since i last used it
[00:15] <oCean_> DaemonLee: I told you
[00:16] <bruce89> !u
[00:16] <oCean_> DaemonLee: "sudo apache2ctl -M"
[00:16] <oCean_> DaemonLee: that will show a list of all enabled apache modules. Look for "php5" in that list
[00:16] <heath|OTG> Is it possible to use two different video cards with two different drivers?
[00:16] <fungihead> sorry :P
[00:17] <FireFreek> How do you find your IP address in Ubuntu server
[00:17] <jrib> DaemonLee: that was half of what I said
[00:17] <lstarnes> FireFreek: ifconfig
[00:17] <FireFreek> Alrigh thanks
[00:17] <DaemonLee> oCean_, There is php5 in that list.
[00:18] <oCean_> DaemonLee: Ok.. and the apache server has been restarted?
[00:19] <DaemonLee> Yesh.
[00:19] <DaemonLee> *Yeah.
[00:19] <oCean_> DaemonLee: I think it is, otherwise the module was not listed
[00:19] <buttons1> can some one instruct me on howto set the value of the JAVA_HOME and the JRE_HOME variables?
[00:19] <jrib> buttons1: VARIABLE=value
[00:19] <kematzy> PLEASE HELP!! new install from LIVE CD boots up, shows language section, then after selecting language, screen goes blank (out of range) and Ubuntu login sound is heard.  HOW do I recover from this ??
[00:19] <buttons1> how do I find out what it should be
[00:20] <oCean_> DaemonLee: so, and you say on your local machine, it works? But not on other machines, from lan?
[00:20] <cipher42> i just removed bluez, thinking it was only for bluetooth, and now there's a lot of things not functioning
[00:20] <cipher42> why is that?
[00:21] <bruce89> buttons1: sudo update-alternatives --config jaca
[00:21] <bruce89> buttons1: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[00:21] <cipher42> anybody there?
[00:21] <buttons1> I did that already and that did not work
[00:21] <jrib> buttons1: you probably want to explain what exactly you are trying to do
[00:22] <DaemonLee> oCean_, Correct.
[00:22] <DaemonLee> It does not work on my machine.
[00:22] <buttons1> The environment variables JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME are not set after I installed java. I need them so that I can use a program.
[00:22] <bruce89> cipher42: no
[00:22] <jrib> buttons1: at least you are specific.
[00:22] <cipher42> ah man
[00:23] <cipher42> that's harsh
[00:23] <buttons1> The program is called Liferay
[00:23] <bruce89> buttons1: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[00:23] <buttons1> bruce89: I tried that and it did not work
[00:23] <bruce89> buttons1: or perhaps reinstalling Java
[00:23] <DaemonLee> oCean_,  any ideas
[00:23] <DaemonLee> ?
[00:24] <jrib> DaemonLee: did you try what I said yet?@
[00:24] <oCean_> DaemonLee: Now I'm confused. It does NOT work on YOUR machine, but on others it works?
[00:24] <bruce89> buttons1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure java_package_name
[00:24] <wrektjet> how to open an application/x-executable file
[00:24] <IntuitiveNipple> buttons1: Can you run other java applications or is this limited to a custom-installed one?
[00:24] <jrib> wrektjet: double click on it?
[00:24] <DaemonLee> Hang on, and I can tell you.
[00:24] <oCean_> buttons1: no, it's not in the alternatives method
[00:24] <oCean_> buttons1: sometimes programs require JAVA_HOME to be set
[00:25] <oCean_> buttons1: it should point to the root of your actual java installation.
[00:25] <buttons1> I have not tried to run any other one
[00:25] <wrektjet> i d/l-ed this oprogram poweriso and extracted it. nuthin happens when i click it
[00:25] <bruce89> cipher42: what were you asking anyway
[00:25] <buttons1> oCean: can you tell me how to set the variable
[00:25] <jrib> wrektjet: what does it do?  mount isos?
[00:25] <wrektjet> supposedly. and bin files
[00:25] <DaemonLee> oCean_, Correct. It works on the Windows machine in my house, but not on my laptop.
[00:25] <wrektjet> http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm
[00:25] <DaemonLee> At all.
[00:25] <jrib> !iso | wrektjet
[00:25] <oCean_> buttons1: which java did you install? Like, I have java-6-sun installed, and the root of that installation is in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre
[00:25] <bruce89> wrektjet: if so, Nautilus can do that now
[00:26] <wrektjet> idk i had  alot of trubble b4 with a bin file so i thought id try this tool
[00:26] <oCean_> DaemonLee: ok, I missed that part. So the webserver is setup correctly. Then it's in the client. Maybe your browser settings.
[00:26] <jrib> !info bchunk | wrektjet
[00:26] <buttons1> oCean: I installed the same one you installed. should JAVA_HOME be set to the same value as yours?
[00:26] <cipher42> why removing bluez just screwed up so many things
[00:27] <cipher42> i thought it was just a blutooth package
[00:27] <oCean_> buttons1: Yes, I think that should work: "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre"
[00:27] <wrektjet> sudo apt-get install bchunk?
[00:27] <buttons1> thank you very much
[00:27] <snypermann> i have the following problem. i have just installed wine and when i want to run a program, he says that the map ./wine isn't mine.
[00:27] <hugodor> For some reason I can't install splashy, the package is broken

[00:28] <cipher42> i did apt-get remove bluez*
[00:28] <bruce89> cipher42: start aptitude and install ubuntu-desktop
[00:28] <buttons1> should I do this using sudo
[00:28] <DaemonLee> oCean_, Any way to make Firefox default?
[00:28] <oCean_> buttons1: but that depends on how well the script is written. Sometimes that JAVA_HOME has to be set to the JAVA_ROOT/bin subdirectory, so you might have to test it
[00:28] <jrib> DaemonLee: have you cleared your cache as the wiki recommends?
[00:28] <cipher42> what is the difference between aptitude and apt-get ?
[00:28] <bruce89> !aptitude
[00:28] <oCean_> DaemonLee: well, I know a very rigorous way... remove (or rename) the .mozilla directory in your homedir.
[00:29] <buttons1> oCean: do I need to use sudo when I set the variable
[00:29] <DaemonLee> Heh, heh...
[00:29] <DaemonLee> Jrib, thanks.
[00:29] <DaemonLee> :D
[00:29] <oCean_> DaemonLee: but that would also remove your bookmarks etc, etc
[00:29] <DaemonLee> I missed that.
[00:29] <AndreSTC> is there a way to generate a new default menu.lst file?
[00:29] <FloodBot1> DaemonLee: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:29] <AndreSTC> because mine is messed up...

[00:32] <epifanio> hi all
[00:32] <epifanio>  i'm tr ing to instal di video driver from ati installer, on a macbook pro15'' , i'm running jaunty-64 bit, these the log from the installer : http://rafb.net/p/bmd8Bl84.html
[00:32] <bruce89> wrektjet: no
[00:33] <bLk-LaBeL> need help with sound over hdmi
[00:33] <bruce89> wrektjet: file permissions you see
[00:33] <oCean_> buttons1: how are you coming along?
[00:33] <buttons1> none of those worked
[00:33] <wrektjet> brtuck: ok
[00:33] <wrektjet> *bruce89: ok
[00:33] <buttons1> I still get the same error
[00:33] <oCean_> buttons1: error messages?
[00:34] <buttons1> none when I set the variables only when I run the program
[00:34] <oCean_> buttons1: what program are you running? As sudo maybe ?
[00:34] <epifanio> i'm reading the file : "readme.distro" : http://rafb.net/p/MtFIzB17.html  ... but i can't find out a solution
[00:35] <oCean_> buttons1: setting the variable as user, then running script sudo will not work
[00:35] <IntuitiveNipple> buttons1: Does java report it's version when you do: "java --version"
[00:35] <IntuitiveNipple> buttons1: Does java report it's version when you do: "java -version"
[00:35] <buttons1> yes
[00:35] <oCean_> buttons1: are you running the script as sudo?
[00:35] <IntuitiveNipple> buttons1: What program are you trying to launch?
[00:36] <buttons1> Liferay/tomcat
[00:36] <unko> is it possible to use virtual box and install vista and use it?
[00:36] <Royall> Can you used Remote Desktop to access a computer on a different network, or just in your network?
[00:36] <oCean_> buttons1: it's just that you have to set the JAVA_HOME the right way
[00:36] <buttons1> what is the right way
[00:37] <hugodor> could someone please help me with this broken package problem? Here's the link to the page:
[00:37] <oCean_> buttons1: are you running the script (whatever it is) as sudo??
[00:37] <hugodor> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6946405#post6946405
[00:37] <IntuitiveNipple> buttons1: Where did you install Liferay from? a Debian package?
[00:37] <buttons1> no
[00:37] <epifanio> in the driver directory (i unpacked the .run) i can see a dir : driverdir/packages/Ubuntu/dists/jaunty   these give me the idea that jounty is supported :-/
[00:37] <buttons1> IntuitiveNIpple: it is not from the repositories I am trying to install it. And it needs the variables set so that I can install it.
[00:38] <oCean_> buttons1: ok. And as user you do "export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jre" and then ./scripttorun?
[00:38] <FrozenFire> Out of curiosity, is there software for Ubuntu that allows you to recovery data from a CD or DVD which is scratched or otherwise damaged? Possibly something that manually controls the drive to read over damaged areas of the CD to recover data.
[00:38] <IntuitiveNipple> buttons1: Did you install it to /opt/liferay ?
[00:38] <buttons1> no I am trying to install it now
[00:39] <oCean_> IntuitiveNipple: it's just that the script says JAVA_HOME not set (or so he says)
[00:39] <buttons1> I am going to reinstall java to see if that helps
[00:39] <oCean_> buttons1: no man
[00:39] <buttons1> don't do that?
[00:40] <oCean_> buttons1: but suit yourself, if you think it might help...

[00:41] <buttons1> Starting tomcat is what i am haveing trouble with
[00:41] <IntuitiveNipple> buttons1: Are these the instructions you're following? http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Quick%20Installation%20Instructions#section-Quick+Installation+Instructions-LinuxAndMacOSX
[00:41] <buttons1> that is when I get the error

[00:54] <MeXTux> The volume control applet doesn't work. If I move the slide for example to 40% it jumps back to 100% immediately. Another value can not be set.

[00:54] <fearful> my fdisk recognizes my thumb stick but it won't mount, not even manually
[00:55] <grkblood13> FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[00:55] <hugodor> ottertoast, configure your /etc/proftpd config file
[00:55] <hugodor> ottertoast, configure your /etc/proftpd.conf config file
[00:55] <ottertoast> hugodor, i've tried. doyou know what to add?
[00:55] <GillaGal> eqisow1 which logitech remote/board do you use?
[00:55] <chaorain> I'm having major problems with my graphics card. I can't boot using any of the nvidia proprietary drivers or the driver on Nvidia's site. My card is a duel 8600M. Are there other drivers I can use? also default settings let me run but no games (adanaxis)
[00:56] <hugodor> what i would do is install webmin, it's got great plugins to configure apache and samba and proftpd configuration files
[00:56] <Ghlave> is there a way to force a shutdown or reboot? shutdown -r OR -h, reboot, halt, AND init 6 are not working for me so far
[00:56] <hugodor> all of it's really easy cause it pretty much writes the config for you
[00:56] <Stargazer> Does ubuntu server use X at all ?
[00:56] <ottertoast> hugodor, can i install that via cli then access it remotley?
[00:57] <ottertoast> hugodor, i only have ssh access to this box
[00:57] <sivik> anyone get nvidia and 180 glx to install and run correcxtly
[00:57] <hugodor> probably apt-get install webmin would work but yea webmin allows you to configure your servers remotely
[00:57] <ottertoast> hugodor, thanks for the tip. i'll try it out.
[00:57] <sivik> webmin, oh dear

[01:26] <twolane> wiseman: new install per chance?
[01:26] <wiseman> nope
[01:26] <bruce89> wiseman: you'll need libdvdcss2
[01:27] <wiseman> libdvdcss2 is not existant
[01:27] <wiseman> I just tried it
[01:27] <IntuitiveNipple> wiseman: From medibuntu archives ?
[01:27] <syph> have you tried gtstreamers
[01:27] <lstarnes> wiseman: it isn't in the official repositories

[01:31] <bruce89> !root
[01:31] <wrektjet> alt+f4 it? u trying to get me out of here i see
[01:32] <bruce89> wrektjet: essentially, don't use root unless a command fails because of permissions
[01:32] <twolane> wrektjet: yeah if you used sudo blackjack, kill it, do over
[01:32] <wrektjet> oh so pretty much try and try again. i can do that. ive been doin all week :)
[01:32] <twolane> wrektjet: never use root's name in vain. rule one.

[01:37] <uberNoober> can anyone help me delete a library?
[01:38] <bruce89> uberNoober: which one, and why?
[01:38] <uberNoober> http://pastebin.com/m5500fc99 ... libclamav.so.3
[01:38] <uberNoober> bruce89: am on Hardy, trying to install clamav from source
[01:38] <XPS_M1330> I guess some people here must be firefox users...
[01:39] <XPS_M1330> I'm wondering if there are search engine prefixes in FF
[01:39] <bruce89> uberNoober: sudo make uninstall in the source directory
[01:39] <XPS_M1330> couldn't find where to customize them
[01:39] <undecim> XPS_M1330: you mean like to type "g fish" to search google for "fish"?
[01:39] <uberNoober> bruce89: i tried but to no avail.
[01:39] <XPS_M1330> undecim:  exactly.
[01:39] <undecim> there is
[01:40] <bruce89> uberNoober: so, you've installed clamav from source, and then what
[01:40] <XPS_M1330> I didn't search hard enough then
[01:40] <undecim> XPS_M1330: you bookmark the page you want, and put the "keyword" as what you want the prefix to be
[01:40] <uberNoober> bruce89: it tells me there's a conflict
[01:40] <undecim> I forget what you replace in the URL to get what comes after the keyword though... i think its "%s" or something like that
[01:41] <XPS_M1330> ok, you have to add them yourself...
[01:41] <undecim> yeah
[01:41] <undecim> yeah, its "%s"
[01:41] <bruce89> uberNoober: what, the official Ubuntu package?
[01:42] <kematzy> When updating new ubuntu install and downloading lots of updates 250Mb on slow connection, is there some way to save the downloaded updates and use them on other ubuntu installs ?
[01:42] <uberNoober> bruce89: no. the source build
[01:42] <idejmcd> vlc will not play a dvd, how do i fix this?
[01:42] <uberNoober> bruce89: when i try updating the AV database
[01:42] <undecim> XPS_M1330:  so like, bookmark "www.google.com?q=%s" with keyword 'g' and you can use "g (search term)" to search google
[01:42] <unlink> After plugging my iPod shuffle into my computer, USB no longer works.
[01:42] <bruce89> ubuntulog: hmm
[01:42] <overrider> hi, i want to ONLY use my external monitor when i plug it in my laptop and boot; instead i get a mirror, even though the display property panel says its not a mirror. what can i do other then xrandr --LVDS --off ? thanks
[01:43] <idejmcd> wow, alot of questions, no actual help
[01:43] <idejmcd> boooo
[01:43] <IntuitiveNipple> kematzy: They are saved into /var/cache/apt/archives/  - you could use apt-proxy to provide them to the local network
[01:43] <XPS_M1330> undecim:  yeah, got that. thanks. I saw you can right click in a search webpage's textbox and create a search engine
[01:44] <bruce89> uberNoober: not sure what the problem is really
[01:44] <botto_> idejmcd what happens when you try to play a dvd?
[01:44] <uberNoober> bruce89: is there anyway to remove a library
[01:44] <bruce89> uberNoober: perhaps manually
[01:44] <uberNoober> bruce89: how?
[01:44] <gumbotron> i manual installed ubuntu in an extended partition with a 3 gb swap and i dont kno how to access ubuntu
[01:44] <uberNoober> bruce89: if you would please
[01:45] <bruce89> uberNoober: so there's two versions of libclamav or something
[01:45] <gumbotron> grub is not installed i think
[01:45] <wiseman> twolane:  If you're still here, that worked great.  Thanks for the help
[01:45] <gumbotron> any fixes?
[01:45] <idejmcd> botto: i'll PM you the error
[01:45] <bruce89> uberNoober: sudo rm /path/to/library
[01:45] <bruce89> uberNoober: likely in /usr/local/lib
[01:45] <uberNoober> bruce89: wow, that's it? I thought it was more convoluted than that
[01:46] <bruce89> uberNoober: then perhaps a sudo ldconfig to fix linking
[01:46] <uberNoober> bruce89: any additional parameteres to ldconfig
[01:46] <bruce89> uberNoober: noop
[01:47] <crdlb> uberNoober: uh, what's the problem?
[01:47] <uberNoober> bruce89: dang, no good...still there
[01:48] <bruce89> uberNoober: remove all files similarly named to libclamav in /usr/local/lib
[01:48] <gumbotron> any hel[?
[01:48] <gumbotron> help*
[01:48] <kematzy> IntuitiveNipple:  thanks, IF I can copy them onto a USB stick, how would i install them on a new fresh Ubuntu install again? trying to save downloads
[01:48] <gumbotron> its also a dual boot with vista
[01:48] <holyscott> how do I format a usb stick in a gui/
[01:48] <uberNoober> crdlb: i installed clamav from apt but decided to go with the new verision so I installed from source. problem is, it outputting a conflict message. after checking the clamav site it tells me to remove the libraries
[01:48] <dr_willis> holyscott:  use the gparted tool.
[01:49] <holyscott> ok
[01:49] <coryshort> what is the most stable linux distro?
[01:49] <crdlb> uberNoober: you should never delete something manually from /usr/lib; just use the package manager
[01:49] <dr_willis> coryshort:  they all are rather stable..   depends on what you define stable as.. and what you do with it.
[01:49] <justinnfx> Can someone help?
[01:49] <syph> slackware
[01:49] <uberNoober> crdlb: so how do i then remove this lib?
[01:50] <coryshort> less cpu usage and less ram
[01:50] <gueux> nobody knows how I can specify the encoding in snownews?
[01:50] <bruce89> crdlb: it was manually installed, and also it was /usr/local/lib
[01:50] <undecim> coryshort: Unless you are going to be using very unreliable hardware, all linux distros are very stable
[01:50] <dr_willis> coryshort:  thats not a very common definmition of 'stable' then. :)
[01:50] <IntuitiveNipple> kematzy: For that you'd have to install each one manually using dpkg -i <package-name.deb> and in that case you'd have to be careful to install in the correct order to ensure dependencies are met.
[01:50] <botto_> Has anyone installed ubuntu on the aspire one?
[01:50] <dr_willis> coryshort:  run fewer apps/less desktop/servies for taht.
[01:50] <qq_> I know a few English.
[01:50] <undecim> botto_: I have
[01:50] <dr_willis> coryshort:  'tinycorelinux' is only 10mb in size. :)  if it suits your needs.
[01:50] <syph> puppylinux is good
[01:50] <syph> i used that for awhile
[01:50] <qq_> 有中文聊天的吗？
[01:50] <crdlb> uberNoober: if you want to use the manually installed copy, uninstall the libclamav5 package (or something similar)
[01:50] <dr_willis> Puppy is handy also.
[01:51] <undecim> botto: You need to get it on a usb drive.
[01:51] <syph> very
[01:51] <justinnfx> When I go to install ubuntu  it goes through the load screen and my monitor just goes blank.  Now I download Wubi and installed it too desktop SAME THING!
[01:51] <coryshort> alot people say arch, slackware, and debian are the most stable
[01:51] <qq_> 刚做的系统，想学学
[01:51] <dr_willis> but it all depneds on wha tyou want to do with the disrto.
[01:51] <botto> have you had any issues with the top of the screen being shifted down?
[01:51] <syph> coryshort: are you familiar with linux?
[01:51] <botto> There is a black line at the top of the screen, after I update
[01:51] <coryshort> yes i am
[01:51] <dr_willis> justinnfx:  you need to set up the proper video card drivers would be my guess..  im guessing you have an ati card?
[01:51] <syph> i'd recommend slackware
[01:51] <coryshort> ive used over 20-30 distro's
[01:51] <justinnfx> Dr. Willis Yes
[01:51] <dr_willis> Using Archlinux right now. Its handy.
[01:51] <botto> its intel 94
[01:51] <syph> well then you should know a stable distro by now lol
[01:52] <botto> 945*
[01:52] <undecim> botto: I didn't have that problem
[01:52] <FAJ> Hi trying everything possible, but now working; Firefox is segfaulting, any help please?
[01:52] <justinnfx> How do I set it up if I can not even get into it??
[01:52] <dr_willis> justinnfx:  check the forums for your exact video card. and the !ati bot factoid.  ati's can be a pain
[01:52] <kematzy> IntuitiveNipple: OK, not so good then. Bit sub-par really, if I've got 12 PCs to install and update. (Linux noob)
[01:52] <marek__> hi, can you help me with seting up openvpn?
[01:52] <dr_willis> justinnfx:  you can install stuff via the recovery mode/command line.
[01:52] <holyscott> Are we allowed to talk about ubuntu based distros in here?
[01:52] <uberNoober> crdlb: thanks for the idea....basically i just removed it from apt
[01:52] <coryshort> debian lenny is really stable uses little to no cpu
[01:52] <justinnfx> how do i get to there?
[01:52] <undecim> botto: of course, it was for someone else who i was installing it, but they haven't said anything to me about it... its probably related to the screen resolution being non-standard (1024x600)
[01:52] <uberNoober> bruce89: thank you for your help
[01:53] <crdlb> holyscott: if they're not part of the ubuntu archive, no
[01:53] <dr_willis> justinnfx:  system boot menu has options for some rescue/recovery mode.
[01:53] <uberNoober> crdlb: thanks you as well
[01:53] <coryshort> havent tried slackware or arch
[01:53] <_VIM_> coryshort:  using less CPU does not mean it's more stable
[01:53] <coryshort> are you nuts
[01:53] <_VIM_> some say yes
[01:53] <justinnfx> i cant get past hwere it ask you for your language
[01:53] <_VIM_> :)
[01:53] <justinnfx> i dont get to the boot menu
[01:53] <undecim> botto: Try changing the screen resolution in you Preferences menu
[01:53] <gumbotron> i manual installed ubuntu in an extended partition with a 3 gb swap and i dont kno how to access ubuntu
[01:53] <gumbotron> grub is not installed i think
[01:53] <gumbotron> its also a dual boot with vista
[01:53] <botto> yeah, its a refresh rate issue
[01:53] <gumbotron> any fixes?
[01:54] <dr_willis> justinnfx:  hit enter perhaps? let it default..   or it shoudl time out.. unless its crashing very badly
[01:54] <arvind_khadri> gumbotron, re-install grub
[01:54] <IntuitiveNipple> kematzy: Like I said, apt-proxy, if they are networked. If you're install all packages at once you can tell dpkg to install every package in a directory using sudo dpkg -i _r /path/to/directory
[01:54] <botto> because I have two of them on the one it works fine however on the other I get this problem
[01:54] <justinnfx> it just loads and loads and then the monitor turns off
[01:54] <justinnfx> !ati
[01:54] <FAJ> Hi trying everything possible, but now working; Firefox is segfaulting, any help please?
[01:54] <gumbotron> do i need to install anything else when i partition with gparted
[01:54] <crdlb> holyscott: kubuntu has its own channel, but it's still allowed here
[01:55] <gumbotron> just ext3 and the swap partition
[01:55] <gumbotron> ?
[01:55] <Huufarted> Folks, I'm confused.   Installing a custom mouse theme.  .tar.gz file with the following directory structure http://paste.ubuntu.com/136402/  My question is, where would I  put this parent directory?  In this case, it is named 'CG'
[01:55] <_VIM_> FAJ: does it do it when you type: firefox --ProfileManager            (And create a new profile) in a terminal?
[01:55] <Assassin`> hey guys
[01:55] <justinnfx> dr willis I can not get into the terminal
[01:56] <Assassin`> can someone help me with a wireless teathering problem?
[01:56] <justinnfx> I dont even get to the desktop, i got there once w/ live cd and cant anymore
[01:56] <Assassin`> it should be auto but theres only a couple choices
[01:56] <Huufarted> gumbotron, to safe yourself some time, give yourself 2 EXT3 partitions.  / and /home.
[01:56] <justinnfx> it wont install nothing
[01:56] <botto> is there any way of forcing a refresh rate in x11
[01:56] <botto> ?
[01:56] <FAJ> _VIM_: seg fault
[01:57] <Assassin`> at&t and another but i go thru Alltel
[01:57] <justinnfx> how i installed it this time wasa wubi but i still cant get into kubuntu
[01:57] <gumbotron> i used gparted and i didnt have an option to do that
[01:57] <undecim> botto: in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[01:57] <FAJ> _VIM_:  tried purging, reinstalling, etc...
[01:57] <undecim> botto: It's a little complicated if you are new to it though
[01:57] <kematzy> IntuitiveNipple:  OK, thanks don't really grep that, but will google for it.   Is there a website for "Ubuntu idiots" as opposed to Ubuntu dummies ? ;-)
[01:57] <botto> x11 ignores what I put in xorg.conf
[01:57] <Huufarted> kematzy:  http://help.ubuntu.org (com?)
[01:58] <IntuitiveNipple> kematzy: "man dpkg"
[01:58] <undecim> botto: that's odd...
[01:58] <kematzy> ie: dead simple instructions
[01:58] <Huufarted> botto: have you relogged after modifying xorg.conf?
[01:58] <zenlunatic> botto, it should
[01:58] <_VIM_> FAJ: what happens if you delete .mozilla directory? and then remove firefox, install it again?
[01:58] <dr_willis> justinnfx:  i wouldent mess with wubi at all.  Check the forums for your video card to learn what needs to be done , then learn how to boot the live cd, or rescue mode to get the stuff installed/done - i cant walk ya through it. Im not on a ubuntu box at this time. and i am going to work. good luck
[01:58] <Assassin`> on windows i connect with a motorola razr and i have the drivers but when i boot ubuntu its not registering or connecting correctly ... the packet data is not showing thru the phone like it should its stuck on dormant
[01:58] <FAJ> _VIM_:  will try
[01:58] <zenlunatic> botto, can i pm u?
[01:58] <undecim> botto: Lol, yeah, as huufarted said... you do have to log out, then back in after changing xorg.conf otherwise the changes won't take effect
[01:59] <wrektjet> y am i getting this error when trying app-get install mc? : E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[01:59] <wrektjet> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[01:59] <Assassin`> it was automatic b4 but do you guys think i should change any certain settings
[01:59] <_VIM_> !fixapt | wrektjet
[01:59] <undecim> wrektjet: are you running the cammand as root?
[01:59] <botto> undecim: yeah, I restarted X(Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) still the same issue
[01:59] <wrektjet> yes i am
[01:59] <botto> On the forums some people where having this problem, but no fix has been found yet
[02:00] <Huufarted> Anybody know where custom cursor themes need to be installed?
[02:00] <TwoToneSpirit> Is there a graphical FTP-server for Ubuntu?  One that will show me who is logged in and what they are doing?  Basically just like Filezilla-server?
[02:00] <FAJ> _VIM_:  seg fault
[02:00] <Huufarted> TwoToneSpirit, Filezilla
[02:00] <_VIM_> FAJ: hmm donno then, maybe try the forums
[02:00] <Huufarted> !filezille | twotonespirit
[02:00] <Huufarted> !filezilla | twotonespirit
[02:00] <wrektjet> thirs times the charm
[02:00] <fuks> anyone can test my package?
[02:00] <FAJ> !package filezilla
[02:00] <Huufarted> bah...  well that's a good one TwoToneSpirit.  just google for it
[02:00] <arvind_khadri> wrektjet, more than one instance of programs which use apt are running
[02:00] <botto> what I find strange is that I have two identical machines installed identically and yet there is a bug on the one....
[02:01] <arvind_khadri> fuks, ??
[02:01] <fuks> https://launchpad.net/%7Eadamziaja/+archive/ppa/+files/ncmpcpp_0.3.2-1_i386.deb
[02:01] <Huufarted> TwoToneSpirit, try this:  sudo apt-get install filezilla
[02:01] <wrektjet> aha ok so close all other terminals?
[02:01] <undecim> botto: You should try copying the xorg.conf from the working one and putting it on the broken one
[02:01] <sei> hi
[02:01] <arvind_khadri> wrektjet, close apps like update-manager, synaptic
[02:01] <TwoToneSpirit> Huufarted:  Looking for a server, not a client.  Thanks though.
[02:01] <undecim> botto: also, check to make sure that they have the same drivers installed
[02:02] <fuks> arvind_khadri: https://launchpad.net/%7Eadamziaja/+archive/ppa/+files/ncmpcpp_0.3.2-1_i386.deb
[02:02] <Huufarted> TwoToneSpirit, FileZilla does offer a server.
[02:02] <botto> the xorg file has only got about 15 lines of uncommented config in it :)
[02:02] <botto> but yeah
[02:02] <botto> I did that
[02:02] <TwoToneSpirit> Huufarted:  I'm pretty sure the filezilla-server is only for Window$ :-(
[02:02] <Huufarted> TwoToneSpirit, nevermind.  Server is only Winblows.
[02:02] <gumbotron> huufarted: i used gparted and i didnt have an option to do that
[02:03] <arvind_khadri> Huufarted, ask #ubuntu-server
[02:03] <Huufarted> Gumbotron, gparted does offer the ability to create multiple partitions.  Is there a reason you don't want to use the partition editor available when installing Ubuntu?
[02:03] <Huufarted> arvind_khadri, wrong person.  I didn't need that info.
[02:03] <justinnfx> I got it the screen to work I booted in safe graphic.. But when I go to install its giving me an eroor No Root File System
[02:04] <justinnfx> What do I do
[02:04] <arvind_khadri> gumbotron, for creating partition, the mounted ones should be umounted
[02:04] <sei> I'll soon find out
[02:04] <justinnfx> drwillis maybe?
[02:04] <arvind_khadri> Huufarted, sorry that was TwoToneSpirit
[02:04] <twolane> justinnfx: start over
[02:04] <arvind_khadri> TwoToneSpirit, ask in #ubuntu-server about how to have a ftp
[02:05] <bruce89> Nautilus can do FTP by ze vay
[02:05] <gumbotron> huufarted: found a guide on the official ubuntu site and the one provided said i needed a mount point which i didnt kno what to do with that
[02:06] <Huufarted> gumbotron, mount point.  Create an empty directory.  For instance, mkdir /home.  Then you set /home to be the new partition you create.
[02:06] <mattmitchell> could someone give me some advice on whether or not i should setup my own email server (no experience) OR just use something like google apps?
[02:06] <zzxxzz> Anyone here running uTorrent in Ubuntu 8.10 who can tell me what  they are displaying in the System Monitor, Waiting Channel column for the uTorrent.exe process?
[02:06] <_VIM_> !ot | mattmitchell
[02:07] <mattmitchell> ubottu: ahh, sorry, and thanks :)
[02:07] <bruce89> mattmitchell: probably better off in #ubuntu-server
[02:07] <mattmitchell> bruce89: thanks!
[02:07] <Scunizi> TwoToneSpirit: check out vsftpd .. it's a popular server for ftp..no gui
[02:07] <Huufarted> Anybody know which directory I install custom Mouse Pointers to once downloaded?
[02:08] <Huufarted> Scunizi, I was going to suggest that except for his GUI requirement (Which is dumb IMO)
[02:08] <fuks> https://launchpad.net/%7Eadamziaja/+archive/ppa/+files/ncmpcpp_0.3.2-1_i386.deb -- ANYONE CAN TEST MY PACKAGE?
[02:08] <Scunizi> Huufarted: yea.. once the server is set.. why look at it.
[02:08] <Scunizi> with a nick like fuks why would anyone trust your package.??
[02:08] <justinfx> It still giving me the same
[02:08] <Huufarted> Scunizi, language please.
[02:08] <justinfx> eror
[02:08] <justinfx> error
[02:08] <_VIM_> they just let anyone create packages on that PPA site? LOL
[02:09] <tritium> Scunizi: watch the language
[02:09] <justinfx> maybe it will work now if I put in the disk?
[02:09] <Scunizi> Huufarted: that's the guys nick.. tritium too
[02:09] <Huufarted> Scunizi hahahaha sorry.  Ignore that.
[02:09] <tritium> Scunizi: I see that now
[02:09] <Huufarted> lol Scunizi.  My bad.
[02:09] <bruce89> _VIM_: I'm more worried about getdeb.net
[02:10] <unlink> After I plugged my iPod shuffle into my computer, USB no longer works on my computer, even after reboots.
[02:10] <Scunizi> Huufarted: tritium no problem :)
[02:10] <_VIM_> well at least getdeb.net isnt ran by Ubuntu
[02:10] <unlink> My peripherals still work on different computers.
[02:10] <justinfx> How Can I get into install w/ using the CD if I have to run in safe graphic mode???????????????????
[02:10] <bruce89> _VIM_: neither's my PPA
[02:10] <Scunizi> unlink: my shuffle never did that to me..
[02:10] <_VIM_> bruce89: at least you contribute in this channel
[02:10] <unlink> Scunizi: neither did my first one
[02:10] <gumbotron> as for the guide i didnt want to do something wrong by using the provided partitionerby payin to mucj attention to the guide
[02:11] <Scunizi> unlink: does the usb not work for ANY usb device?
[02:11] <Scunizi> unlink: or is it just the shuffle that isn't connecting anymore?
[02:12] <justinfx> what is verbose mode?  or ACPI workaround?
[02:12] <unlink> Scunizi: Any device.
[02:12] <unlink> Scunizi: The devices themselves work on my other computer (too scared to test my shuffle though)
[02:12] <justinfx> well im trying verbose mode atleast it seems to be loading
[02:12] <Scunizi> unlink: which version of ubuntu?
[02:12] <justinfx> uup nope screen went out
[02:13] <Venus_Mars> any idea why ubuntu pulled off from GSoC ?
[02:13] <twolane> justinnfx: I don't know the cd you have but can't you reboot to partition and install?
[02:13] <unlink> Scunizi: intrepid, but I tried a couple different distros, and the keyboard (usb) doesn't work at the BIOS screen...
[02:13] <bruce89> justinfx: verbose means loads of feedback
[02:13] <bruce89> Venus_Mars: did it?
[02:13] <botto> In my Xorg.0.log it says (EE) intel(0): Unknown EDID version 0
[02:13] <justinfx> the only way I can get it to load is if I load is if I enter under safe graphic mode
[02:13] <Venus_Mars> bruce89: ya.
[02:13] <justinfx> the cd dont give you that option
[02:14] <bruce89> Venus_Mars: #gsoc
[02:14] <Scunizi> unlink: sounds like a hardware issue. although usb from the keyboard on the BIOS screen is questionable to begin with.
[02:14] <Venus_Mars> they redirected here.
[02:14] <bruce89> ah
[02:14] <unlink> Scunizi: Worked before every time.
[02:14] <bruce89> hang on
[02:15] <justinfx> when I go to install from wubi I get safe graphic mode which works, but then I get a partion error, anybody want me to say what that error is?

[02:28] <crdlb> Eggbertx1: with ATI's fglrx driver, OpenGL will not work well unless you disable compiz
[02:28] <chaorain> PLEASE help. Nothing I try to install Nvidia Drivers works. HELP
[02:28] <chaorain> PLEASE help. Nothing I try to install Nvidia Drivers works. HELP
[02:28] <richard> fearful u online
[02:28] <Eggbertx1> how do I do that
[02:28] <richard> this is richard
[02:29] <Eggbertx1> how I disable compiz?
[02:29] <Eggbertx1> killall compiz?
[02:29] <crdlb> Eggbertx1: no
[02:29] <crdlb> Eggbertx1: system > prefs > appearance > visual effects > none
[02:29] <Eggbertx1> is there any better driver than flgrx or whatever it is?
[02:29] <chaorain> Eggbert, Are you using Gnome, KDE or something else?
[02:29] <twolane> justinfx: i have my grub menu encrypted, ask the channel how to drop to root at boot
[02:29] <_VIM_> Eggbertx1: theres also a GUI app called fusion-icon that shuts compiz off/on
[02:29] <Eggbertx1> gnome
[02:30] <justinfx> Channel how do you drop to a root at boot>
[02:30] <_VIM_> Eggbertx1: sudo apt-get install fusion-icon            then you'll see it in menu
[02:30] <Eggbertx1> k
[02:30] <crdlb> Eggbertx1: the only driver that can do it curently is nvidia's driver, though support is coming in others
[02:30] <bruce89> justinfx: grub menu, go to recovery mode
[02:30] <Excell> !envy | chaorain
[02:30] <twolane> justinfx: i think you hit escape at the grub screen or an option there
[02:31] <Eggbertx1> so should I use nvidia instead of flgrx?
[02:31] <Eggbertx1> I forget what its called
[02:31] <twolane> cant believe i forgot this stuff
[02:31] <justinfx> where should that bring me?
[02:31] <chaorain> Ecell, Already tried that
[02:31] <Excell> oh
[02:31] <justinfx> Im in GRUB4DOS
[02:31] <twolane> justinfx: to a root prompt terminal
[02:31] <Excell> what card?
[02:31] <chaorain> Excell, Allready Tried that
[02:31] <justinfx> that is the only Grub i can get into ESC does not work
[02:31] <Eggbertx1> what is fusion icon under?
[02:31] <chaorain> Excell, 8700M
[02:32] <Excell> ah..i c
[02:32] <twolane> justinfx: but with no root you're probably gonna epic fail.
[02:32] <wrektjet> sorry to interrupt: users settings is the place to add a user account for a guest staying at my house? i dont want him messing anything up, just browsing the web
[02:32] <justinfx> so what do i do?
[02:32] <_VIM_> Eggbertx1: system tools
[02:32] <bruce89> wrektjet: that's for the guest session
[02:32] <_VIM_> Applications > System Tools> Compiz Fusion Icon
[02:32] <chaorain> Excell, Everything looks like it installs correctly but the graphics are really messed up when I boot
[02:33] <Excell> what does it look like
[02:33] <wrektjet> does that work if im not home? ill be going to work for two days while hes here and wont be back until wed nite
[02:33] <_VIM_> Eggbertx1: then right click the icon and go to select window manager, then choose metacity
[02:33] <justinfx> i dont even know what to do is there a way to enter grub with the cd
[02:33] <Excell> chaorain:  did you install nvidia settings manager from synap?
[02:34] <justinfx> so i can use start installer in safe graphic mode..that is the only way i dont get a black screen
[02:34] <chaorain> Excell, Let me check
[02:34] <Excell> ok
[02:34] <Trido> I hope someone can help me.  When trying to install Ubuntu Server 8.10 I boot from the CD and get to the menu.  When I select the option to install I get a box with Grub Loader in the title bar, then text saying Install (If I selected install, but it does this for every option with different text) and then an ok button. When I hit enter again on that, it just returns me to the menu and does nothing. What the ... ? :)
[02:34] <crdlb> Eggbertx1: no, the nvidia driver is for nvidia cards ...
[02:34] <chaorain> Excell, yes
[02:35] <Excell> sis you go through and set the card with it?
[02:35] <Excell> did^
[02:35] <justinfx> i think im going to ahve to stick with window or get a new graphic card
[02:36] <_VIM_> justinfx: just get a nvidia 5200 on ebay for $20 (or cheaper)
[02:36] <justinfx> bill gates got me again
[02:36] <twolane> justinfx: you need to install proper like
[02:36] <Excell> 7600 works great
[02:36] <Excell> new egg
[02:36] <_VIM_> yeah or newegg.com
[02:36] <Eggbertx1> should I use nividia instead of fglrx to fix opengl flickering?
[02:37] <justinfx> twolane like how
[02:37] <_VIM_> Eggbertx1: if you have a Nvidia i don't think you should be using fglrx
[02:37] <Eggbertx1> I hav ati
[02:37] <_VIM_> oh
[02:37] <Eggbertx1> which is better?
[02:38] <chaorain> Excell, When I load it it says "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run 'nvidia-xconfig' as root), and restart the X server.
[02:38] <Eggbertx1> I get the feeling ubuntu doesn't like fglrx because it can't tell resolution from hardware testing
[02:38] <eshaase> when i maximize my terminal and scroll through alot of text my system lags and i can see the screen refreshing, any idea how to resolve this? i have a radeon 9600 driver the proprietary drives installed
[02:38] <Dante123> hi all, I installed xubuntu on a sony vaio rx550.  It works except for problem with fan running at full speed and resolution max is 800 x 600.  This same card (older nvidia agp) is capable of 1024 x768 and 1280x1024.  I think I have a fix for fan problem, but how do I set the resolution higher than 800 x 600?  (Must say I prefer 8.04 on this issue than 8.10).  Any ideas?
[02:38] <_VIM_> Nvidia and Linux have this........love affair...i'd chose Nvidia
[02:38] <twolane> justinfx: is this a dual boot?
[02:38] <Excell> chaorain:  do you know how to get x to fix itself from recovery mode?
[02:38] <Eggbertx1> ok
[02:38] <Scooma> Dante123, use fancontrol to control the fan speeds
[02:38] <justinfx> its a tripple boot
[02:39] <Eggbertx1> wait how do I get nvidia and uninstall fglrx?
[02:39] <Eggbertx1> in one shot
[02:39] <chaorain> Excell, um reboot X? I don't know
[02:39] <twolane> justinfx: can you boot windows, d/l some cd's and reinstall
[02:39] <bruce89> Eggbertx1: with aptitude
[02:39] <_VIM_> Eggbertx1: you gotta get a Nvidia card first
[02:39] <crdlb> Eggbertx1: you don't, then nvidia driver is for nvidia video cards
[02:39] <Huufarted> Can someone take a look at this screenshot and tell me what program this is that's running?  It's a file manager that serves about the same function as Nautilus, I just don't  know what it is.  http://www.simplehelp.net/images/nbr/08.png
[02:39] <crdlb> s/then/the/
[02:39] <Eggbertx1> yes but I can't use nividia with ati card?
[02:39] <chaorain> Excell, Just ran nvidia-xconfig need to reboot X BRB
[02:39] <twolane> justinfx: you really need to start over, inho
[02:39] <bruce89> oh, ignore me
[02:39] <justinfx> d/l whhat cd?
[02:39] <Excell> chaorain:  @ fresh boot...hold esc key..pick recovery and go from there
[02:39] <_VIM_> Eggbertx1: nope
[02:40] <crdlb> Eggbertx1: of course not; it's a driver for operating the hardware
[02:40] <Eggbertx1> what the hell
[02:40] <Dante123> Scooma- yes, I think i have to add it it87 module before I can use that.  However, what about resolution issue?
[02:40] <chaorain> Ecell, Should I do that now?
[02:40] <Scooma> Huufarted, the update manager?
[02:40] <crdlb> nvidia and ati cards are completely different
[02:40] <chaorain> Excell, Should I do that now?
[02:40] <Eggbertx1> what's a driver better than fglrx that works with ati
[02:40] <IntuitiveNipple> Dante123: It is likely because the Vaio display panel doesn't report its resolution and capabilities via EDID to the xserver, so the default is used. It is a well-known problem and there is a work-around
[02:40] <Excell> you can do it any time
[02:40] <Huufarted> Scooma, it's not an update manager.  Just a file manager.
[02:40] <crdlb> Eggbertx1: there isn't one that's faster
[02:40] <chaorain> Excell, BRB
[02:40] <foma_> http://www.distrotest.com/
[02:40] <justinfx> I have tried burning linux like 5 times it just wont wrok
[02:40] <Eggbertx1> what about one that will stop opengl flickering?
[02:41] <crdlb> Eggbertx1: the open source radeon driver supports your card, but it's no better at OpenGL with compiz
[02:41] <Scooma> Huufarted, you're running eeeubuntu... it's the menu interface
[02:41] <Scunizi> Huufarted: looks interesting.. almost kde 4.2 ish..
[02:41] <justinfx> the only way is if i boot into start installer in safe graphic
[02:41] <crdlb> Eggbertx1: just turn off compiz
[02:41] <Dante123> IntuitiveNipple where do I find the workaround?  I've googled but dont seem to find what I need.
[02:41] <paco_> hola
[02:41] <Eggbertx1> I turned compiz off already
[02:41] <Excell> !esp | paco
[02:41] <Huufarted> Scooma, I'm not running  eeeubuntu, just standard Intrepid.  It's a nice program manager though and I'd like to see if it would work well on my eee.
[02:41] <Excell> oops
[02:41] <twolane> justinfx: using ms windows? what software, did you prepare the disk right?
[02:41] <crdlb> Eggbertx1: then it shouldn't flicker
[02:41] <IntuitiveNipple> Dante123: This may help: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/288807
[02:42] <twolane> justinfx: you got a dilemma dude
[02:42] <Huufarted> scooma, I found out.  It's ume-launcher
[02:42] <Eggbertx1> well I didn't try it after I turned it off
[02:42] <Scooma> Huufarted, yes it works fine on the eee
[02:42] <Eggbertx1> ok good
[02:42] <Eggbertx1> it didn't nvm
[02:42] <Huufarted> Scooma, I know it works fine, just wanted to try it personally to see if it will suit my purposes.
[02:42] <justinfx> i can press c for a comand line GRUBDOS
[02:42] <Dante123> IntuitiveNipple this is not a notebook , but an older desktop (rx550)
[02:42] <Eggbertx1> so I could hav just turned visual effects off instead of screwing over opengl on my x.org?
[02:42] <Eggbertx1> that's good to know
[02:42] <Scooma> Huufarted, so what's the problem?
[02:43] <IntuitiveNipple> Dante123: It may suffer the same issue... no EDID
[02:43] <twolane> justinfx: try it
[02:43] <justinfx> ok then enter what
[02:43] <Huufarted> scooma, there isn't one.  I didn't know the name.  Found it just after I asked the name in here.
[02:43] <twolane> justinfx: yeah hit enter
[02:43] <justinfx> it works
[02:43] <justinfx> now enter what
[02:43] <IntuitiveNipple> Dante123: See also https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/194760
[02:44] <twolane> justinfx: i don't know your box, you got a grub menu like grub>  or a terminal?
[02:44] <tegrat> how can I stop ubuntu from automounting removable drives?
[02:45] <justinfx> i got GRUB4DOS terminal open
[02:45] <justinfx> it starts with grub>
[02:45] <justinfx> i dont know the commands
[02:45] <chaorain> Excell, I just tried that and now I'm going to try Envy
[02:46] <Splex> how do i get my config to the default
[02:46] <Splex> i mean
[02:46] <Dante123> IntuitiveNipple I'm thinking run livecd of 8.04.  Get that working at correct resolution...copy the xorg.conf from it, and then put that into x11 folder for xubuntu 8.10
[02:46] <deadlyallance662> where is the channel for ps3 ubuntu?
[02:46] <Splex> for alsa-base
[02:46] <Excell> ok.. ill be here a few mins
[02:46] <Splex> how would i get my alsa module config back to default
[02:46] <twolane> justinfx: i don't they'll do you any good anyway. grub works
[02:46] <crdlb> tegrat: open a file manager window. edit>preferences>media
[02:46] <twolane> justinfx: the install is whacked imo
[02:47] <justinfx> I cant start it from a CD
[02:47] <justinfx> kubuntu is whacked
[02:47] <crdlb> tegrat: you probably want to uncheck the two checkboxes at the bottom
[02:47] <tegrat> thanks crdlb
[02:47] <justinfx> it dont matter what i do it loads and my screen goes dark
[02:47] <justinfx> too many bugs
[02:48] <Scooma> justinfx, what's your video card?
[02:48] <justinfx> ati
[02:48] <justinfx> radion
[02:48] <twolane> justinfx: how did you install, from windows or a boot cd
[02:48] <justinfx> i had to install from windows I installed using wubi
[02:48] <Scooma> justinfx, which radeon?
[02:48] <justinfx> because no boot disk will work
[02:48] <justinfx> i think rd2400x
[02:48] <Dante123> IntuitiveNipple do you think that would work?
[02:49] <cesar_> hello world
[02:49] <twolane> justinfx: well, i never used wubi, but i'd say wubi whacked it.
[02:49] <justinfx> no it didnt work before i tried
[02:49] <Scooma> justinfx, please find out exactly in case there are specific instructions for your card
[02:49] <justinfx> before i tried that
[02:49] <Guest49110> como estan ustedes?
[02:49] <justinfx> i tried wubi as my last bet
[02:49] <_VIM_> !es | Guest49110
[02:50] <justinfx> screen always went blank
[02:50] <Guest49110> thanks
[02:50] <Guest49110> I speak both languages
[02:50] <justinfx> ok im looking for card
[02:51] <Guest49110> How can I personalize ubuntu in order to look like windows xp
[02:51] <Guest49110> I really need it
[02:51] <_VIM_> !themes
[02:51] <_VIM_> Guest49110: one of those links i think the first one :)
[02:51] <Scunizi> Guest49110: see the themes links _VIM_ gave you
[02:51] <tegrat> crdlb - still automounting
[02:52] <Guest49110> guauuu
[02:52] <Guest49110> thnks
[02:52] <Scooma> Guest49110, oh heh .... why?
[02:52] <_VIM_> Guest49110: and just drag/drop the compressed file to the theme manager, do not decompress it
[02:52] <_VIM_> that's the trick
[02:53] <crdlb> tegrat: oops, did you check "never prompt or start programs on media insertion"?
[02:53] <crdlb> tegrat: I said uncheck, but that's not what I meant
[02:53] <Scunizi> Guest49110: also remember some themes may have an "unusual" effect on your system.. a dark theme I tried did strange things to the menu system of Open Office.
[02:53] <_VIM_> same here Scunizi i totally fried my Open Office menu icons
[02:54] <_VIM_> :(
[02:54] <Guest49110> I am checking now, it has nice looking
[02:54] <Scunizi> _VIM_: I just switched themes back and all was good after the next reboot
[02:54] <_VIM_> not that i use open office anyways *points to my nick*
[02:54] <_VIM_> heh
[02:54] <tegrat> crdlb - found it in another place under polkit-gnome-authorization
[02:55] <crdlb> tegrat: I guess that would work too
[02:55] <_VIM_> Scunizi: hmm maybe because i used a Open Office 3 PPA
[02:55] <_VIM_> or repo, i dont remember which
[02:55] <Scunizi> _VIM_: maybe .. but I was using the stock install on Hardy
[02:55] <_VIM_> ah
[02:55] <justinfx> Ok FOUND it ATI Radeon HD 2600XT
[02:56] <jelly-bean> how do i get java installed for firefox in ubuntu 8.10?
[02:56] <_VIM_> !java | jelly-bean
[02:57] <jelly-bean> i have that installed hmm
[02:57] <jelly-bean> i am trying to visit yugma.com and it says i need to install java
[02:57] <justinfx> That is what is making my screen go blank and the install not work ATI Radeon HD 2600XT
[02:57] <jelly-bean> no i have sun-java6-bin
[02:58] <_VIM_> hmm, jelly-bean try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:58] <Excell> yep
[02:58] <tegrat> crdlb - i also found it under gconf-editor the other way was a bit extreme - thanks u got me in the right path
[02:58] <_VIM_> jelly-bean: also if you're running NoScript, you'll often get java/flash errors on youtube, and whatnot
[02:58] <Votan> Does Xfce give me any advatanges over gnome when using it on a Netbook ? (NC10)
[02:59] <Excell> _VIM_:  is that for ff #3..only?
[02:59] <_VIM_> Votan: it's lighter, so yeah
[02:59] <squidly> Votan: depends really. xfce is smaller
[02:59] <_VIM_> Excell: for any firefox
[02:59] <Scunizi> jelly-bean: you might also take a look at dimdim as an alternative to yugma
[02:59] <jelly-bean> Scunizi: oh?
[02:59] <Excell> hmmmm.. im on ff #2..and its flawless
[02:59] <Votan> well, way thinking about batterylife / performance. I can see that it has a smaler memory footprint and therefore proberbly gets me a slight performance increase, but is it noticeable ?
[03:00] <_VIM_> Excell: you talking bout NoScript or just java/flash in general?
[03:00] <Excell> but then again...im still on 7.10 also
[03:00] <Excell> i use noscript
[03:00] <_VIM_> +1 for noscript
[03:00] <Excell> and flash..and java
[03:00] <cataklysm> clear
[03:01] <orudie> is there a good free ssh client for blackberry ?
[03:01] <Excell> ya..i wouldnt surf with out noscript
[03:01] <justinfx> Did giving my graphic card help wiht understanding why i cant install ubuntu and screen goes blank
[03:01] <Splex> which package is /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base contained in?
[03:01] <_VIM_> orudie: try in ##networking or #ubuntu-server maybe
[03:01] <deadlyallance662> where is the channel for ps3 ubuntu?
[03:02] <johnslaptop> can anyone help with grub loading errors
[03:02] <Excell> justinfx:  is it a clean install an a blank drive?
[03:02] <jelly-bean> Scunizi: i am hosting a dimdim room but it says "Screencaster plugin not supported" when i choose to share screen
[03:02] <cataklysm> disconnect
[03:02] <wiseman> ah
[03:02] <Scooma> Guest49110, why are you needing to make it look like XP?
[03:02] <wiseman> time to enjoy one of my homebrew beers
[03:03] <wiseman> nom nom nom
[03:03] <Excell> lol
[03:03] <justinfx> what do you clean install blank drive?
[03:03] <johnslaptop> I get error 18 and I know what it is.  but I am unsure on how to fix it
[03:03] <Scunizi> jelly-bean: yea.. the linux client (and free versions) have some limitations.. I'm not sure if there's a way around that or not
[03:03] <Excell> justinfx:  is the drive empty or R you dual booting?
[03:03] <Guest49110> because in the school where I work most people used windows xp
[03:03] <chaorain> Excell, nope nothing worked
[03:03] <justinfx> I am triple booting
[03:04] <Excell> maybe the cd is bad..burn another one
[03:04] <chaorain> Excell, any other ideas?
[03:04] <Guest49110> and the school want to migrate to LINUX, just the best as I adviced them
[03:04] <justinfx> I burned three already, maybe the downloads bad
[03:04] <Excell> chaorain:  what exactly is the problem
[03:04] <justinfx> I had this happen with another download though
[03:04] <Excell> maybe justinfx try another server
[03:04] <Excell> same here
[03:05] <Excell> with kubuntu
[03:05] <Guest49110> the coordinator told me he wants to have a distro which resembles windows xp
[03:05] <chaorain> Excell, still the same two bars of static
[03:05] <Excell> lower your resolution?
[03:05] <justinfx> i dont have another computer
[03:05] <Guest49110> and the most like is famelix
[03:06] <xorxes> Ok, so I'm getting this "your .dmrc file is being ignored" error. I tried chown, and chmod 644, and nothing works! I still get the same error! Help me out guys
[03:06] <justinfx> maybe ubuntu will work, maybe it just kubuntu
[03:06] <chaorain> Excell, plus the good part is shifted down and split and wraped around kinda
[03:06] <Excell> hey chaorain 2 bars..1 on each side?
[03:06] <justinfx> i will download and burn that
[03:06] <chaorain> Excell, across the top
[03:07] <Excell> ya..give it another try justinfx..burn a slow speed 2
[03:07] <wrektjet> hey guys what does this error mean: wine: /home/marc/.wine is not owned by you
[03:07] <chaorain> Excell, i don't even make it to the log on screen
[03:07] <justinfx> should i try kubunto or ubunutu?
[03:07] <Excell> ubuntu..imo..works way better
[03:08] <justinfx> I like the way kubuntu looks way better
[03:08] <chaorain> Excell, I actually went strait from the iso
[03:08] <twolane> wrektjet: /exec -o ls -l /home/marc/.wine
[03:08] <Excell> I have every version on all drives..ubuntu is the better for me
[03:08] <coryshort> its alot easier to get stuff done in gnome envirment
[03:08] <_VIM_> justinfx: you can always change Ubuntu's look with themes :)
[03:09] <Excell> chaorain:  did you try envy?..if so did you disable restricted drivers?
[03:09] <wrektjet> twolane: i dont follow. sorry do u mean to try that command?
[03:10] <chaorain> Excell, Yep tried envy with restricted drivers enabled
[03:10] <twolane> wrektjet: try sudo chown -R marc:marc /home/marc/.wine
[03:10] <Excell> no no..dont use restricted drivers when you use envy... thats a no no
[03:11] <Excell> your X is now confused..lol
[03:11] <justinfx> How can you tell if your computer is 64b
[03:12] <chaorain> Excell, um with EnvyNG I checked 173.14.12-10ubuntu5.1
[03:12] <twolane> justinfx: uname -m in a  term
[03:12] <justinfx> no in windows
[03:12] <chaorain> Excell, both Compatible and Recommended are checked
[03:12] <coryshort> just install the drivers manually its alot easier
[03:12] <twolane> justinfx: i686 = 32 x86_64 = 64
[03:13] <justinfx> i have a 64b ubuntu on my laptop.. i dont remember if i built a 64 bit machine or not ..lol
[03:13] <coryshort> well if your running ubuntu 64bit its a 64 bit machine
[03:14] <justinfx> no my laptop is 64 bit
[03:14] <coryshort> it wouldnt let you boot if you didnt have 64 bit cpu
[03:14] <justinfx> and im running
[03:14] <Excell> thats a hard call chaorain..me personally..i would uninstall nvidia drivers...redo x in recovery mode to get x back to normal..then try restricted drivers once cleaned up..its a process i know
[03:14] <hotdog003> By show of hands, who here thinks it should have been called "aptid00d" ?
[03:14] <justinfx> i have 64b ubuntu on my laptop i want to know if my desktop is 64b so i dont have too download another copy
[03:15] <chaorain> Excell, uh oh. I've tried that several times already..........
[03:15] <demon> !vbox
[03:15] <Guest91975> what is the best program to display a lot of songs that i have on my comptuer? kinda like itunes
[03:15] <chaorain> Excell, Ive had problems with my RAM during installation before. could that be a problem?
[03:16] <Excell> reverse the  process with nvidia and restricted drivers.. 1 will work..the other will not..thats as far as i can go with what ive seen so far.
[03:16] <DCH528> hello there?
[03:16] <Excell> what machine do you have.. and how much ram?
[03:16] <buckethed> i have a windows 2003 server running apache2 with several web sites.  how would i go about migrating the httpd.conf, httpd-ssl.conf, and ssl certificate files to ubuntu hardy?
[03:17] <buckethed> should i merge httpd.conf with /etc/apache2/apache2.conf?
[03:17] <chaorain> Excell, Dell XPS M1730 2GbX2
[03:17] <hotdog003> justinfx, one way to find out I think is to run 'uname -m'. If it shows i686, you use 32-bit. If it shows amd64, you use 64-bit. I think.
[03:17] <wrektjet> hey i just messed up my resolution big time via a directx error. how can i get to resolution settings via command line

[03:20] <Cpudan80> chaorain: even memtest doesnt find any problems ?
[03:20] <Scunizi> crankharder: don't use localhost to get to it.. type an ip
[03:21] <chaorain> Cpudan80, Yes but I can't get an error that dell acknowledges
[03:21] <Cpudan80> chaorain: just make something up
[03:21] <Excell> exactly
[03:21] <Cpudan80> chaorain: or demand to speak to a manager - start yelling - they love that
[03:22] <coryshort> who still buys man manufacturered pcs
[03:22] <wrektjet> not to be a broken record: i cant access my resolution settings via gui. how can i reset them via terminal
[03:22] <chaorain> Belive me I wish I could I HATE TECH SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:22] <Cpudan80> coryshort: the deals dell is running on i7s cant be beat
[03:22] <twolane> chaorain: and say the word 'fraud' they fear that!
[03:22] <Cpudan80> coryshort: I cant even build an i7 for what dell is quoting
[03:22] <chaorain> lol
[03:23] <coryshort> good luck with dells technical support
[03:23] <coryshort> ive prank called dell before

[03:24] <Levandia> Hi. I have too many kernels in my menu.lst. I want to remove the listed kernels from the menu itself as well as from the computer.
[03:24] <Levandia> How can I do this?
[03:24] <Scunizi> Excell: I've been hunting mini-itx equipment to complement my intel E8400 3.0 chip I got for cheap.
[03:24] <Excell> Scunizi:  check new egg or parts pc
[03:24] <chaorain> Is there a way Vista can read files saved inside a WUBI ubuntu?
[03:25] <coryshort> intel wouldnt have 64 bit technology if they didnt sue amd in court
[03:25] <Scunizi> Excell: I have.. new egg has some promising stuff..
[03:25] <Levandia> Any suggestions?
[03:26] <twolane> Levandia: search the kernel version number in synaptic and remove it. and get the right one.
[03:26] <wrektjet> what is the resolution on this resolution issue
[03:26] <overrider> mkdosfs was the answer :-) thanks though, will look at gparted also
[03:26] <twolane> Levandia: pick the old version
[03:26] <Excell> kernels are nutritious
[03:26] <mib_2q3khttt> Hello, I need some help
[03:26] <Levandia> twolane: what do I search for?
[03:26] <twolane> i lov'em
[03:26] <Scunizi> Levandia: go to system>admin>synaptic package manager and search for "kernel" and you'll find all the images that are install.. tag the ones you no longer want for uninstallation and hit apply
[03:26] <Cpudan80> overrider: gparted is all gui-fied
[03:27] <Cpudan80> Scunizi: bad - bad - bad idea
[03:27] <mib_2q3khttt> Hello?
[03:27] <Levandia> Is there any way to set the amount of kernels to stay on a system?
[03:27] <coryshort> does anyone else use LXDE desktop envirement?
[03:27] <Cpudan80> You should just remove them from the list
[03:27] <twolane> Levandia: you're searching for the exact kernel you wanna remove
[03:27] <Levandia> Cpudan80: I refuse.
[03:27] <Levandia> Waste of space.
[03:27] <Levandia> All of these kernels work properly.
[03:27] <Cpudan80> They don't take up much space
[03:27] <Scunizi> Cpudan80: now that's a bad idea.. leaving what you don't want taking up space..
[03:27] <mrec_> hmm why doesn't the Add/Remove Applications tool find openssh but I can find it with apt-get on the console?!
[03:27] <chaorain> what version of Ubuntu would you recommend best for a vista laptop? Official or non official
[03:27] <Cpudan80> maybe 10 MB a piece
[03:28] <mib_2q3khttt> Can some one Help me please?
[03:28] <Levandia> They are useless.
[03:28] <chaorain> Wubi style
[03:28] <Cpudan80> Scunizi: ok I'll agree you can remove the real old ones - but you should keep -2
[03:28] <Cpudan80> (two versions back)
[03:28] <jtaji> mrec_: add/remove only lists gui apps, however Synaptic would list it along with everything else
[03:28] <akahige> can anyone tell me why certain videos can crash pulseaudio?
[03:28] <Levandia> Cpudan80: that's what I wanted.
[03:28] <coryshort> just get 3 hard drives one for windows one for linux and one for mac os x 10.5.6
[03:29] <Excell> ack! mac
[03:29] <Scunizi> mrec_: apt-cache search openssh shows several packages.
[03:29] <Excell> cough cough
[03:29] <wrektjet> please plaease please help me with this resolution issue. a wine program made my resolution really low and now i cant access half the screen and cant get to system to change back
[03:29] <coryshort> mac os 10 alot easier to use than linux
[03:29] <mrec_> Scunizi: yes but not the Add/Remove tool (last menu entry in applications in the menu bar)
[03:29] <tritium> coryshort: in your opinion, that is
[03:29] <sacredsunder> does anyone know how to change the settings in xchat so that under my User: it dosnt display my ipaddress after it?
[03:30] <Gnea> sacredsunder: can't be done
[03:30] <Scunizi> mrec_: yes.. add/remove isn't all it's cracked up to be.  although add/remove did show a cluster ssh version.. weird
[03:31] <Curtis> i have a folder that i want to have so when you try to open it it asks for a password can i do that?
[03:31] <mrec_> Scunizi: it works with the synaptics package manager
[03:31] <Scunizi> sacredsunder: you can go to #freenode and ask for a mask
[03:31] <_VIM_> sacredsunder: best you can do is go to #freenode and, omg Scunizi
[03:31] <Scunizi> mrec_: yep
[03:31] <mrec_> I just wondered why the add/remove software tool doesn't show it up
[03:31] <sacredsunder> alright, thanks
[03:31] <Scunizi> _VIM_: and at 50 my finger still work once in a while.
[03:31] <_VIM_> :P
[03:31] <Scunizi> *fingers
[03:31] <Gnea> sacredsunder: not in xchat settings, anyway
[03:32] <wrektjet> did i do something to piss y'all off?
[03:33] <dan457> reset X?
[03:33] <Scunizi> wrektjet: I can't resist this.. "you were just wine-ing" :)
[03:33] <wrektjet> well now im just starit up screwed
[03:33] <_VIM_> hehe
[03:33] <Scunizi> wrektjet: what did you try to install?
[03:34] <dan457> ctrl-alt-backbackspace?
[03:34] <wrektjet> for your edification: call of duty
[03:34] <dan457> hehe
[03:34] <Scunizi> wow.. did wrektjet just leave?
[03:34] <dan457> I don't run my wine games fullscreen anymore.. just windowed.
[03:35] <dan457> he prob realy did do ctrl alt backspace.. lol
[03:35]  * _VIM_ thinks wrekjet did ctrl+alt+backspace
[03:35] <Scunizi> AH!.. fast exit
[03:35] <dan457> well, I bet it did fix his messed up X though.. lol
[03:35] <Scunizi> probably :)
[03:36] <wrektjet> not cool who told me to do that i just lost all my things
[03:36] <Excell> lolol
[03:36] <dan457> lol
[03:36] <_VIM_> lol
[03:36] <wrektjet> i was in middle of  abunch of documents and whatnot
[03:36] <wrektjet> thnx
[03:36] <wrektjet> real good
[03:36] <dan457> only fix though when wine does that to you.
[03:36] <unr3a1> hey all
[03:36] <Scunizi> wrektjet: open the programs that were doing the documents and you might be offer to recover them
[03:36] <Excell> now you can change your nic to..wrecktX
[03:36] <dan457> run your wine games windowed to avoid that in the future
[03:37] <wrektjet> honestly that was my forst try at a game
[03:37] <wrektjet> *first
[03:37] <Scunizi> It's always an adventure on your first time..
[03:37] <dan457> windows game on linux is kinda hit and miss.
[03:37] <dan457> don't be doing anything important when messing with them
[03:37] <coryshort> agree
[03:37] <wrektjet> now i know :)
[03:37] <coryshort> unless it supports opengl
[03:37] <wrektjet> at least its back to normal
[03:38] <coryshort> like world of warcraft or counter strike 1.6
[03:38] <dan457> I run world of warcraft windowed.  works well.
[03:38] <Scunizi> wrektjet: by the way .. ctrl+alt+backspace is NOT a reboot.. it's just a restart of the graphic system.
[03:38] <dan457> in opengl mode
[03:39] <coryshort> play native games like wolfenstien enemy territory, urban terror, world of padman, savage 2 ect
[03:39] <coryshort> quake 4
[03:39] <coryshort> as well
[03:39] <wrektjet> idk the game came free with my vid card. world at war and modern warfare
[03:39] <Excell> good day folks
[03:39] <dan457> unreal tournament...
[03:39] <_VIM_> you gotta have a good graphics card for savage 2 though
[03:40] <Scunizi> ut2004 native install
[03:40] <deadlyallance662> where is the channel for ps3 ubuntu?
[03:40] <wrektjet> oh i used to always get owned on ut
[03:40] <Scunizi> yea.. but fun.. but now we're all off topic
[03:41] <wrektjet> so how do u "window" something in wine
[03:41] <DCH528> any one here know how to write code and willing to help a stupid newbie??
[03:41] <dan457> most games have a windowed mode... you set that in the game or though some config file....
[03:41] <wolf> Does anyone know if it is possible to have the TOggle rain effect in compiz to enable when the computer idles for a certain ammount of time
[03:42] <Gnea> wolf: you mean, to use the rain effect as a screensaver?
[03:42] <coryshort> i ran savage 2 on all high settings with 8800gts amd athlon 64 x2 and 8gb of ram
[03:42] <wolf> Gnea, sort of yeah
[03:43] <Scunizi> coryshort: in windows or ubuntu?
[03:43] <Gnea> wolf: not directly.. not sure, but there might be a raindrop-type xscreensaver available
[03:43] <coryshort> i was running linux mint 6 when i did it
[03:44] <wolf> Gnea, all that would need to be done would be something to execute ctrl+f9 wrhen gnome-screensaver is enabled
[03:44] <Scunizi> coryshort: is it a native install?
[03:44] <coryshort> and i had compiz fusion on and it was still running nice
[03:44] <coryshort> yeah
[03:44] <Scunizi> cool
[03:45] <Gnea> wolf: hrm, I would imagine that it would invalidate the the screensaver at its most basic level - perhaps you could script it to run the raindrops program just before the screensaver kicks in...
[03:46] <Sagaci> sudo = su is superuser/root, what's the "do" part mean, just do?
[03:46] <Scunizi> Sagaci: "does" as in superuser does <expression>

[03:59] <alvaro> Scunizi: what is utf-80  ?
[03:59] <ohzie> Guest82768, xchat highlights your name, so you should be able to see what we type to you.
[03:59] <crdlb> zaccour: you didn't say that ...
[03:59] <DigitalKiwi> that's completely different
[04:00] <Scunizi> alvaro: utf-8 is a general purpose universal character set
[04:00] <DigitalKiwi> and probably already exists
[04:00] <alvaro> Scunizi: that is the one i should use?
[04:00] <axisys> i am sick of iperf misbehaving http://pastebin.com/d47fbd5a4

[04:01] <Scunizi> alvaro: you might look at "kompozer" to help develop your pages.. utf-8 is pretty universal.. so it's a good choice
[04:01] <tritium> !virtualbox | Guest82768
[04:01] <alvaro> Scunizi: thanks
[04:01] <ohzie> Guest82768, We can put forth attempts to help you as much as you need, but if you don't read them it doesn't work. It's a three step process. 1)A question is asked 2)A question is answered 3)You read.
[04:02] <damnubuntu> anybody try installing backtrack 3 on ubuntu with vm?  I keep getting the normal startup and then it aborts and when i try to start it again it says FATAL no bootable media
[04:02] <frosterrj> some help with Acer Aspire One wireless?  used to work, now can't figure out what should/shouldnt be in modules, blacklist, etc....
[04:02] <Scunizi> Guest82768: ultimately.. this is ubuntu help.. virtualbox help is in #vbox
[04:02] <coryshort> someone should create a freebsd distro based off of gnome with live cd install
[04:02] <Guest82768> and I don' know
[04:02] <Guest82768> can anybody tell me how to run it
[04:03] <tritium> Guest82768: read the URL I had ubottu send you above, and please don't PM.
[04:03] <nanotube> !virtualbox | Guest82768:
[04:03] <lstarnes> Guest82768: what ubottu told you includes links to instructions that will tell you exactly how to run it
[04:03] <frosterrj> Guest82768: why do you want it if you don't know what it does?
[04:03] <Scunizi> Guest82768: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/End-user_documentation
[04:03] <tritium> Guest82768: the one nanotube just re-sent you
[04:03] <ezzieyguywuf1> is there a way to re-route the system beep to only go through the speakers, regardless of if I have my headphones plugged in or not?
[04:04] <zaccour> hey tritium
[04:04] <tritium> Hello, zaccour.
[04:04] <damnubuntu> frosterr what kind of driver you using?
[04:04] <Guest82768> frosterrj I know what it does
[04:04] <zaccour> tritium, do you know of an application where i can make my own im client easily?
[04:04] <Guest82768> it opens the windows
[04:04] <frosterrj> just want to use the ath5k, but cant figure out how I jacked it up..
[04:05] <frosterrj> Guest82768: then you would know how to run it....its just an app
[04:05] <ohzie> ezzieyguywuf1, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add the line "blacklist pcspkr"
[04:05] <Guest82768> hoe do I run it on terminal
[04:05] <ohzie> ezzieyguywuf1, It's not quite what you asked for, but it's the closest I know of.
[04:06] <tritium> zaccour: nope, not any applications.  If you wanted libraries to build your own client from, look at libpurple, or libtelepathy, around which other apps (pidgin and empathy) are built
[04:06] <damnubuntu> i have an aspire one and I think the  madwifi drivers are the best
[04:06] <Scunizi> frosterrj: did you install a different wifi assistant like wicd or wifi-radar?
[04:06] <ezzieyguywuf1> ohzie: do you mind explaining exactly what that does?
[04:06] <tritium> Guest82768: you need to do some reading on your own.  Then come back and ask questions.
[04:06] <ezzieyguywuf1> ohzie: i'm guessing it disables something?
[04:06] <zaccour> tritium, is it easy to do?
[04:06] <ohzie> ezzieyguywuf1, It turns off the pcspkr module in the kernel, that causes the beep. It's not quite re-routing the sound, but like I said it's the closest I could come up with.,
[04:06] <Guest82768> what do u mean
[04:07] <frosterrj> damnubuntu: just dont want the overhead of recompiling often...but...does it work for the -7 kernel?  -11 I dont even get eth0 up
[04:07] <ezzieyguywuf1> ohzie: will i hear any beeps at all?
[04:07] <tritium> zaccour: not likely
[04:07] <damnubuntu> you have seen the issues with ath5k right? on the acer wiki page?
[04:07] <ohzie> ezzieyguywuf1, It's possible that kernel module has some sort of configuration that allows you to tell it to use a sound server instead of the pc speaker
[04:07] <ohzie> ezzieyguywuf1, With the directions I gave you, no.
[04:07] <frosterrj> Scunizi: no...but might have gotten a half a madwifi install going...
[04:07] <damnubuntu> yeah it works great
[04:07] <RussM_> Can someone point me to good documentation for setting up a bluetooth keyboard/mouse in 8.10? Everything I find is old.
[04:07] <vexati0n> okay, Ubuntu. Please, somebody help me understand why it is apparently so difficult to get sound working reliably in Linux?
[04:07] <ezzieyguywuf1> ohzie: thanks for the help, but unfortunately I do not wish to disable the system beep completely. i feel it is useful
[04:08] <frosterrj> damnubuntu: yep, but I'm only using wep :(
[04:08] <zaccour> how do i make my own irc chat and get the html code?
[04:08] <Scunizi> frosterrj: if that's there and network manager they might be conflicting.
[04:08] <wolter> where can i get a deb for the latest (2.26) version of evolution?
[04:08] <lstarnes> zaccour: what html code?
[04:08] <crdlb> zaccour: an IM client running in flash or java isn't really ubuntu-specific since it runs on the client anyway
[04:08] <tritium> wolter: it'll be in jaunty
[04:08] <frosterrj> Scunizi: how do I know if madwifi junk still left?
[04:08] <wolter> tritium, as well as pidgin-2.5.5 ?
[04:08] <_VIM_> !ppa | wolter (maybe here)...
[04:09] <Scunizi> wolter: ubuntu has the latest version installed just before the 3.x version that will be in the next release
[04:09] <zaccour> i want my own irc chat for my website, but i need to have the html code for that
[04:09] <wolter> tritium, if there some reason why ubuntu didn't upload evolution-2.26 for intrepid?
[04:09] <tritium> wolter: yes
[04:09] <Scunizi> frosterrj: I've no idea.. sorry
[04:09] <frosterrj> Scunizi: thx...
[04:09] <lstarnes> zaccour: you don't use html for programming an irc client.  You need somehting like flasg or java in most cases
[04:09] <tritium> wolter: yes, there was no major bug or security reason to do so
[04:09] <lstarnes> *flash
[04:09] <damnubuntu> ndiswrapper works good on the AA1 despite what people say about the program. I tried it and the card seems to work better and get more bars
[04:09] <wolter> tritium, is that also the case of pidgin ?
[04:10] <Scunizi> !latest | wolter
[04:10] <zaccour> thats not what i mean lstarnes
[04:10] <Guest82768> what did all u say about changing the room to #vboot
[04:10] <tritium> wolter: same.  Packages are only updated between releases for those reasons.
[04:10] <damnubuntu> for  the ath5k  thing give me some more details on the issue
[04:10] <zaccour> what i mean is i want an irc channel on my website, just like how xat chat is
[04:10] <frosterrj> damnubuntu: do you have the restricted driver manager enabled or disabled
[04:10] <Scunizi> Guest82768: type /join #vbox
[04:10] <damnubuntu> enabled
[04:10] <phaer> A program which i want to use uses ^g as a modkey. i can make ^C by pressing ctrl+c on my german keyboard layout, but i have got no idea how to do ^g?
[04:10] <Guest82768> were is join
[04:11] <strange> anyone know how to get sun java working in firefox ?
[04:11] <_defcon> is there an auto updating hurricane electric ipv6 client for updating your ip and configuring your interface like tspc for ubuntu
[04:11] <Scunizi> Guest82768: don't look for it .. just type it with the /join #vbox
[04:11] <_defcon> or a script that I can get to do it
[04:11] <zaccour> does anyone know how to tell me how to put a xat chatbox on my website?
[04:11] <zaccour> i mean
[04:11] <zaccour> irc chatbox
[04:11] <lstarnes> zaccour: could you show me an example of what you're talking about?
[04:11] <Guest82768> that is all
[04:11] <Scunizi> that is all
[04:12] <tritium> zaccour: please try to stay on topic (ubuntu support).
[04:12] <damnubuntu> strange just use add/remove and get the app it should work
[04:12] <wolter> I see.
[04:12] <zaccour> lstarnes, my website is ppvheaven.com when you go there you will be automatically put in the chat on that page. it uses flash, i want something lighter like irc
[04:12] <frosterrj> damnubuntu: doesnt even see hardware.  in modules nothing listed, in restricted modules common, disabled ath_hal
[04:12] <Guest82768> i need to learn how to run virtual box
[04:12] <phaer> How do you call all this key sequences like ^C, ^D, ^g,...?
[04:12] <tritium> Guest82768: we've given you information on that.
[04:12]  * Scunizi slams palm to forehead
[04:13] <lstarnes> phaer: escape sequences or control codes
[04:13] <phaer> istarnes, thanks
[04:13] <lstarnes> phaer: usually, ^C = ctrl+c
[04:13] <frosterrj> Guest82768: why in terminal?  VBOX is all about gui builing of virtual machines...
[04:13] <phaer> istarnes, yes. but i need ^g ;/
[04:13] <frosterrj> that's why its EASY!
[04:13] <Guest82768> I AM NEW TO ALL OF THIS
[04:13] <damnubuntu> frosterrj: Im guessing that network manager isn't showing wireless networks either right?
[04:13] <Guest82768> all u don't get that
[04:13] <frosterrj> damnubuntu: NADA!
[04:14] <lstarnes> Guest82768: we do get that and we have been giving you information for people who want to use virtualbox
[04:14] <frosterrj> damnubuntu: i cant get network manager to even know there's a card in the machine
[04:14] <tritium> Guest82768: we asked you not to use all-caps.   Unless you find someone really board you have to take some initiative and READ
[04:15] <Guest82768> well
[04:15] <zaccour> Guest82768, whats your question?
[04:15] <Guest82768> i already download it
[04:15] <kematzy> HELP!  with xrandr  how to set it to accept the native screen resolution ??
[04:15] <lstarnes> zaccour: you could try hosting pjirc which is a java applet.  mibbit also has a way of embedding its gateway-based client into html
[04:15] <frosterrj> damnubuntu: do you know what modules, restricted modules common files look like on stock install?  Whats blacklisted and not?
[04:15] <Guest82768> but how do I intall it in terminal
[04:15] <zaccour> thanks
[04:15] <crdlb> kematzy: what video card?
[04:15] <Scunizi> kematzy: type xrandr in a terminal and see if the resoltion you need is listed..
[04:16] <lstarnes> Guest82768: sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose
[04:16] <damnubuntu> frosterrj: type lspci in a terminal  and see if it recognizes the wifi card
[04:16] <lstarnes> Guest82768: also, aptitude search virtualbox
[04:16] <Guest82768> thabk u
[04:16] <tritium> Guest82768: we told you.  You obviously did not read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[04:16] <tritium> Guest82768: shame on your your total laziness
[04:16] <frosterrj> damnubuntu: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[04:16] <lstarnes> Guest82768: that command was in the link that we kept giving you
[04:17] <Guest82768> so everything is there
[04:17] <kematzy> crdlb: i got a nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 and an 1680x1050 screen, but only running at 800x600  (all options avail is 640x480 or 800x600)
[04:17] <jedimind> can anyone recommed how i would go about converting .ogv video to say divx or mpeg or something ... useful ? :)
[04:17] <crdlb> kematzy: did you enable the proprietary nvidia driver?
[04:17] <crdlb> jedimind: mencoder, or a frontend to it
[04:17] <Scunizi> kematzy: the driver is located at System>Admin>Hardware drivers
[04:18] <psychic> any progs for converting mp4 to wave or aiff
[04:18] <psychic> for xubuntu
[04:18] <psychic> ?
[04:18] <kematzy> crdlb:  nope, I did in previous install, but it was quite buggy, so naively (??) thought I could avoid it this time.
[04:18] <crdlb> frosterrj: check 'lsmod | grep ath'; does it contain ath5k and/or ath_pci?
[04:19] <crdlb> kematzy: if you're going to use nv, you'll probably need a monitor modeline
[04:19] <jedimind> crdlb: do you know what the gui version of it is called? i didnt yield any results in the add/remove apps package man
[04:19] <frosterrj> crdlb: somehow got nothing right now....
[04:19] <`brandon> can someone help me deal with my wireless Internet please?
[04:20] <frosterrj> crdlb: what should it be?
[04:20] <crdlb> frosterrj: ok, what happens if you 'sudo modprobe ath5k'?
[04:20] <kematzy> Scunizi: Yeah, it recommends only v.177 but the nvidia site has v180, so not sure which I should install.
[04:20] <frosterrj> crdlb: module not found,.,,
[04:20] <Scunizi> kematzy: for your card the 173 or 177 should work fine..
[04:21] <kematzy> crdlb: "monitor modeline"  == ?????
[04:21] <frosterrj> crdlb: I got acer_wmi though!  woohooo!  not!
[04:21] <g4lt-lappy> kematzy, what card again?
[04:21] <kematzy> Scunizi: when i had it installed previously (yesterday) the titlebars of windows was dissapprareing and other odd things. not so good
[04:22] <g4lt-lappy> 173 is for legacy cards like the 5200go
[04:22] <kematzy> g4lt-lappy:  nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
[04:22] <kematzy> in an eMachines el1200
[04:22] <g4lt-lappy> kematzy, you should be golden with either 180 or 177.  your choice really
[04:22] <kematzy> desktop
[04:22] <`brandon> okay what do i type for apt-get?
[04:23] <g4lt-lappy> brandon sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-180
[04:23] <crdlb> kematzy: if you don't want to enable the nvidia driver, check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to make sure it contains "nv_drv.so"
[04:23] <Scunizi> kematzy: with the 177 driver? try the 173 driver.. the only time to use the one off the nvidia site is if your motherboard chipset causes issues.  Mine does (gforce 8200 chipset and vid card) so the 180.29 works well for me.
[04:23] <g4lt-lappy> bah, sorry, conflated convos
[04:23] <ohzie> Has anyone here used rsync for creating backups on external hard drives?
[04:23] <kematzy> g4lt-lappy: so installing proprietary driver is OK?
[04:23] <chocobito> hi, I'm having trouble with my webcam. I now there's a command that will show some audio and video settings and something like a preview of the webcam, does anyone knows that command?
[04:23] <damnubuntu> frosterrj: turn off restricted drivers and try sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-intrepid in terminal
[04:23] <dan457> ohzie, yes.
[04:24] <g4lt-lappy> kematzy, the only issue is one of politics.  if you don't like closed drivers, don't use them
[04:24] <dan457> my server
[04:24] <ohzie> dan457, Have you ever used grsync? It's a gtk frontend for rsync. I want to make a direct copy of the directory, recursively, and I want it to be absolutely identical and check file integrity. Do you know what options I would have to pass?
[04:25] <Cpudan80> kematzy: its perfectly legal and everything - except some people want to be able to tinker with the source code and stuff, which you cannot do with a closed source driver
[04:25] <frosterrj> damnubuntu:  that's already done - backports via sources manager, just turned off restricted.  Reloaded ath_pci and ath_hal (but thats in my restricted modules common blacklist) so I guess I should kill it
[04:25] <Cpudan80> kematzy: if you dont care about tinkering with the sources (like 99.99999% of the folk out there) install the proprietary driver
[04:25] <dan457> ohzie, I made my own script, have not tried it with a gui, but should work as long as the external drive is already mounted.
[04:26] <frosterrj> damnubuntu: robert@AAo:~$ sudo rmmod ath_hal
[04:26] <frosterrj> ERROR: Module ath_hal is in use by ath_pci
[04:26] <dan457> ohzie, in my case, I had to script it to make sure the drive was mounted/dismounted properly.
[04:26] <kematzy> Cpudan80: g4lt-lappy  thanks.  I'm more concerned with the buggy apperance. And **Definitely do NOT** want to fiddle with sources ;)
[04:26] <ohzie> dan457, If I'm rsyncing small files to a fat32 disc, should I worry about the "--modify-window" tag?
[04:27] <damnubuntu> frosterrj: blacklist ath_pci and reboot
[04:27] <Cpudan80> kematzy: ubuntu cant include the closed source by default for legal reasons
[04:27] <ohzie> dan457, they're not overly huge files. Just MP3's
[04:27] <Cpudan80> kematzy: you mean you dont want to compile your own kernel and rewrite how your gfx card handles interrupts??!??!??
[04:27] <dan457> ohzie, give it a try with the default options, don't worry about messing with it overmuch unless it doesn't do what you wanted.  then you know what to look at changing.
[04:27] <frosterrj> damnubuntu: where/which file?
[04:27] <homerhomer> Hey, anyone get openchrome 3d working
[04:27] <homerhomer> it's a tricky one
[04:27] <ttl> hi
[04:28] <ohzie> dan457, Sweet. Are there any options that can modify the source? I don't want it to modify the source at all.
[04:28] <ttl> why when i install a new application through apt get, i don't see its shortcut in my main menu?
[04:28] <dch_> has anyone been able to resolve ath_pci/ath5k freezing on load?
[04:28] <damnubuntu> frosterrj: /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[04:28] <kematzy> Cpudan80:  exactly !! I'm a dabbling long time Mac user, that hates fiddling with obscure things. (even though I'm quite happy on the CLI)
[04:28] <dan457> ohzie, just set your source and destination and let it rip.  if something didn't work, come back and we'll see if it can be fixed.
[04:29] <ohzie> kk
[04:29] <frosterrj> damnubuntu: be right back.....famous last words!
[04:29] <g4lt-lappy> kematzy, well, either nvidia-kernel package is a drop in, just plug and play from your end.  from other ends, it's a bit more...complicated
[04:30] <ttl> any ideas?
[04:30] <nanotube> ttl: which application? some apps just don't come with a menu item...
[04:31] <ttl> like kismet and wireshark
[04:31] <crdlb> jedimind: there are several guis, but I haven't used any of them
[04:31] <crdlb> jedimind: the mencoder command line is not that hard to use, tbh
[04:31] <ttl> so how start them after installation?
[04:31] <jedimind> yeah i already figured it out
[04:31] <jedimind> thanks crdlb, appreciated
[04:31] <musikgoat|main> wireshark has a gui, besides the point tho
[04:31] <musikgoat|main> ttl: what is the name of the app you installed?
[04:32] <nanotube> ttl: hit alt-f2 and type in "kismet" or "wireshark" (or whatever else you want to start)
[04:32] <aryah_> so, any good CLI orthodotx file manager reccomendations?
[04:32] <aryah_> besides obvious midnight commander, that is
[04:32] <nanotube> ttl: (alt-f2 will work on gnome, don't know the equivalent for kde... you could always just fire up a terminal and enter the command, too.)
[04:32] <nrich> the alternative is exactly the same
[04:32] <nrich> alt-f2
[04:33] <ttl> iam using neither both. i use fluxbox
[04:33] <agent47a> does anyone know what is the backend/platform that ubuntu forums runs on?
[04:33] <nanotube> ttl: ah, ok, well... in that case, fire up a terminal, if alt-f2 doesn't work. and in the terminal enter command
[04:34] <nanotube> agent47a: as far as OS - don't know, but probably linux ;) as far as the forum software, they use vbulletin, iirc
[04:34] <agent47a> nanotube: thanks!
[04:35] <nanotube> agent47a: np :)
[04:35] <ohzie> dan457, Okay, at 18% it encountered a file that caused a problem and the entire process failed. :[ Is there any way to make it skip that file and try the next one?
[04:36] <dan457> ohzie, in rsync yes, in the gui?  I dunno, like I said, have not used that one.
[04:36] <cplab2-57> hey i am trying to run applet programs in eclipse and its not running...can anyone help me on this issue
[04:36] <nrich> how do I install the xen kernel for ubuntu, so that it can be paravirtualized ?
[04:36] <Jianai> ？？？
[04:36] <ohzie> dan457, I can pass options from the gui from the advanced tab.
[04:36] <dan457> ohzie,  i'll have to download that one and  check
[04:36] <Jianai> 有人呢？
[04:36] <`brandon> how do i unzip xchat-2.8.6.tar.bz2?

[04:37] <Scunizi> `brandon: why not just use the one in the repo's?
[04:37] <Jianai> 晕
[04:37] <lstarnes> `brandon: btw, it would be much easier to use the version in the repositories.  Tey sudo aptitude install xchat
[04:37] <`brandon> repo's?
[04:37] <twolane> `brandon: tar -xvjf file.tar.bz2
[04:37] <ShinyHat> anyone willing to help me with a samba problem?
[04:37] <BlueEagl1> shinyhat: Not unless you describe the problem more thuroughly.
[04:37] <Frogzoo> ShinyHat: we don't know yet
[04:37] <musikgoat|main> ShinyHat: state your problem, and if people have suggestions, we can help
[04:38] <twolane> ShinyHat: I can't dance

[04:39] <dan457> ohzie, I ran one I downloaded and it worked with no errors..... what file is it sticking on?
[04:39] <frosterrj> damnubuntu: no dice. even tried putting back ath_hal is blacklist and madwifi.  nothingworked
[04:39] <ohzie> dan457, "hello.mp3" :)

[04:39] <ShinyHat> blueeagl1: yes
[04:40] <dan457> ohzie, what is the exact error message?
[04:40] <Diraq> hi everyone
[04:40] <kematzy> Scunizi: sorry, missed your answer.  the problem was with the 177 driver.  Now when I try to use the "Hardware Drivers" thing, it found 173 & 177 (rec) but when i clicked on Activate it just got stuck there. I quit the whole thing and tried again, and now it's stuck in the "searching for..." window. does have internet access though. Any ideas of how to fix this.
