[06:45] <pike_> ubuntu-rocks: its a good idea to use fdisk a few times to be comfortable with it
[06:45] <ccooke> ubuntu-rocks: I'd suggest you try gparted. It's got a decent GUI
[06:46] <mjtunes> just like to know wot proggy to use for burning films
[06:46] <ubuntu-rocks> i'm only running command line, ran fdisk to create the partition though.  ran sudo mkefs.ext /dev/hdb and it looks like it is working
[06:46] <agentnoob> ccooke: yeah like when I try to create a shortcut thunar usually loads up sbin or bin as default which makes it choke for good 20 seconds
[06:46] <brum> prds: i havent worked w/ bind(dns) in years... but i suspect there is a problem with localhost in the bind config
[06:46] <agentnoob> ccooke: how would you set that option anyway? does it take up a lot of space?
[06:46] <ccooke> agentnoob: not much, no.
[06:46] <Pirate_Hunter> How cna I save data on my second HD, it is partitioned in two parts as ext3 but I cna only see once of the partitions and not the other. On top of that I can't save anything to it
[06:46] <Enverex> keith, Ignore that
[06:47] <craigbass1976> OMG, so I waited for the hard drive to finally stop, then rebooted.  Error finding OS or something silly like that.  I now have damnslammlinux booted (off a cd which works fine--what's up with that? Why can't Ubuntu do the same?) to see what's shaking on the hard drive.
[06:47] <Toma-> I have a Partition followed by another partiton on a disk. I need to make the 2nd prarttition bigger be resising the first. is it possible with ext3?
[06:47] <Pirate_Hunter> yes it is Tom
[06:47] <ubuntu-rocks> ok, my /dev/hdb is now formatted as ext3. how do i edit /etc/fstab to make it automount as /var
[06:47] <ccooke> agentnoob: (it's "in addition" rather than "instead of" because ext3 will use the hash if it's there, but fall back to the linked list otherwise. Makes the filesystem backwards compatible
[06:47] <Pirate_Hunter> just sue soemthign like Gparted
[06:47] <Pirate_Hunter> use
[06:47] <ccooke> agentnoob: set it with tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/device
[06:47] <Toma-> I cant do it with gparted :/
[06:48] <pike_> craigbass1976: ubuntu is a nice distro but if youre having this much trouble with 6.10 and 7.04 there are other distros that might make things easier. or even just try debian
[06:48] <Pirate_Hunter> huh!! it worked for me, pop the CD in on boot and follow instructions
[06:48] <ccooke> agentnoob: you need to do a manual process on the disk to generate the indexes the first time, though
[06:48] <ferret_0567> Are there any Ubuntu developers in here?
[06:48] <Toma-> Pirate_Hunter: im in ubuntu now :)
[06:48] <craigbass1976> pike_, I want it to be easy for the girl who owns this laptop.

[06:51] <pike_> craigbass1976: server install then sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

[06:54] <cables> guycook, do sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`. Beyond that I have no idea.
[06:54] <Pirate_Hunter> I can see both partitions in system>admin>disk but not in places>computer and I can't access the one that is showing
[06:54] <guycook> PriceChild, thanks hadn't thought of that since the kernel didn't update.

[07:02] <lufis> actually

[07:02] <frandavid100> how can I make the session start using beryl, without even starting metacity?
[07:02] <Toma-> agentnoob: you basically login like any other ssh session then run your X programs from that shell
[07:02] <Toma-> agentnoob: obviously, you need X :D
[07:02] <Toma-> bastid_raZor: ummm let me check
[07:03] <Pirate_Hunter>  what are the drivers for canon printer i350 and canon scanner N670U
[07:03] <agentnoob> Toma: so like could I use ctrl alt f keys to switch between my desktop and the x forwarded one?
[07:03] <Toma-> bastid_raZor: 6891
[07:03] <clearzen> agentnoob: yeah, startx --:1 should start a new x session on f8
[07:03] <bastid_raZor> Toma-: that is the only port? i thought i read something about forwarding several ports?
[07:04] <Toma-> agentnoob: not sure! Ive only used it over my LAN to run programs on my Nokia 770
[07:04] <Toma-> bastid_raZor: thats the only one here
[07:04] <clearzen> agentnoob: I think it has to be a different user that starts it though
[07:04] <agentnoob> Toma: sounds like fun
[07:04] <Toma-> bastid_raZor: the latest SVN version has some awesome webcam support now
[07:04] <bastid_raZor> Toma-: nice, i thought i had the latest.. will double check. Thanks

[07:17] <lmosher> What's the command to view wireless info in terminal? I'm trying to get a number on my signal strength and noise levels
[07:18] <DJ-_-> magnetron: and then just uncheck?
[07:18] <Moduliz0r> why dont my Rhythmbox desklets work?
[07:18] <maxagaz> agentnoob: where is this option ?
[07:18] <magnetron> DJ-_-: yep
[07:18] <DJ-_-> ok
[07:18] <EADG_> lmosher: iwconfig
[07:18] <agentnoob> maxagaz: I forget, try googling it
[07:18] <lmosher> EADG_, That's it. Thanks. I forgot :)
[07:19] <maxagaz> agentnoob: ok, thanks
[07:19] <PriceChild> shea, "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ?
[07:19] <agentnoob> maxagaz: also if your using a dual core you can speed the process up a bit by utilizing both cores in unison
[07:19] <erUSUL> Pirate_Hunter: http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-i350 <<< it seems that you will have to work a little to make your printer work in linux :(
[07:19] <Pirate_Hunter> Yeah good news my scanner can be installed with no problems :-( bad news I would prefer the printer to be working and turboprint charges for their drives, which i ain't prepared to pay
[07:19] <maxagaz> agentnoob: how ?
[07:19] <DJ-_-> bbias
[07:19] <lmosher> EADG_, Do you know of a program to track signal and noise levels? They fluctuate and I'd like to see if I can't find the source
[07:20] <agentnoob> maxagaz: not on my usual comp else I would give you list of guides
[07:20] <Pirate_Hunter> where can I find PROPRIETARY
[07:20] <EADG_> lmosher: Yes... but like you I've forgotten, gimme a sec I need to startx.
[07:20] <Pirate_Hunter> sorry for the caps i copy & paste
[07:21] <ubuntu-rocks> anyone?
[07:21] <supervillain> anyone knows the title of the surprise book for SoC 2007 candidates this year?
[07:21] <maxagaz> agentnoob: all that is in the grub profile ?
[07:21] <guycook> Ok, I installed thunderbird 2 via synaptic on this x64 Feisty, says it's done. but can't find the program?
[07:21] <EADG_> lmosher: I have a program installed in KDE called SWScanner, it tracks sig strenfgt and plots it.
[07:22] <lmosher> EADG_, thanks! Exactly what I need. I'll check it out.
[07:22] <EADG_> n/p
[07:22] <Pirate_Hunter> how can I install turboprint
[07:23] <Pirate_Hunter> come on that's the easiest question I asked so far
[07:23] <agentnoob> guycook: hmm you using xubuntu? xfce menu is a bit odd in how it generates itself
[07:24] <agentnoob> maxagaz: yeah
[07:24] <Pirate_Hunter> oops it's meant to say how can I uninstal turboprint
[07:25] <ubuntu-rocks> did some googling, would lvm apply to me here? i'm trying to move my /var folder from 1 drive to another
[07:25] <guycook> agentnoob, I"m on ubuntu x64, I guess it's xubuntu anyway shouldn't I see a thunderbird icon in the start menu?
[07:25] <guycook> agentnoob, I hope I don't have to shutdown the vm everytime I update the ubuntu
[07:25] <Pirate_Hunter> anyone, that's the most easiest question I've asked
[07:25] <Pirate_Hunter> oops it's meant to say how can I uninstal turboprint
[07:26] <agentnoob> guycook ubuntu uses gnome
[07:26] <bastid_raZor> where does one find a SVN version? i'm not sure what SVN means
[07:26] <EADG_> Hehe, best error message I've seen in a long time; powernowd -- Go away, you are not root. Only root can run me.
[07:26] <agentnoob> guycook: no try typing thunderbird into terminal see what shows up
[07:26] <guycook> agentnoob, right, I have gnome, but I also have some proprietary windows stuff in a virtual machine too
[07:27] <agentnoob> guycook: that is isolated and of no influence upon your gnome menu lol
[07:27] <guycook> agentnoob, 'command not found' when I type thunderbird at the prompt
[07:28] <magnetron> !away > away[Selfsearche
[07:28] <agentnoob> guycook: you said you installed through synaptic right?
[07:28] <guycook> agentnoob, yes
[07:28] <agentnoob> guycook: because I remember when firefox for linux came out they just shoved bunch of files into a folder and put it to the downloads in such a rush
[07:28] <guycook> agentnoob, twice thinking I'd messed it up somehow
[07:28] <Pirate_Hunter> uninstaling turboprint anyone
[07:28] <Pirate_Hunter> someone must ahve used it
[07:29] <agentnoob> guycook: you could try the reinstall option in synaptic
[07:29] <agentnoob> guycook: you already tried that I assume?

[07:29] <guycook> agentnoob, good assumption, yes I did
[07:29] <Pirate_Hunter> oops sorry
[07:29] <Pirate_Hunter> didn't mean to annoy anyone
[07:29] <agentnoob> Pirate_Hunter: who in this day and age uses this "paper" thing you speak of?
[07:29] <SillyZ> anyone know a gdesklet that will show the usage of both processor cores on a core duo ?
[07:29] <stefg> Pirate_Hunter: there is a uninstall script for it, iirc. 'locate turboprint' mifgt find it for you
[07:30] <craigbass1976> I think my problem before was the window manager.  Why, when trying to fire up Xubuntu, is gdm starting?  Isn't that Gnome Desktop Manager?
[07:30] <Pirate_Hunter> what a description the paper thing i speak of - agent i lol at that
[07:30] <Pirate_Hunter> stefg tanx
[07:31] <agentnoob> Pirate_Hunter: if locate doesn't find it then do updatedb as root and try locate again
[07:32] <agentnoob> guycook: why is it you need thunderbird 2.0 so badly? are you trying to use those webmail extensions or such they work fine with 1.5
[07:32] <tbleek> any tips how to get sound in flash working (firefox) on amd64?
[07:33] <wols_> tbleek: does /dev/dsp exist? is it working?
[07:33] <rodigut> would there be any reason why my computer starts at system load being 3?
[07:33] <Pirate_Hunter> locate found it but what do i do now
[07:33] <wols_> rodigut: yes. it loads on ton of stuff on bootup
[07:33] <agentnoob> tbleek: use gnash instead of adobe flash, run 32 bit firefox with 32 bit adobe flash, run firefox in wine, install x86 operating system with firefox
[07:33] <wols_> Pirate_Hunter: how did you install turboprint?
[07:33] <rodigut> wols_: it stays at that load average though
[07:33] <agentnoob> tbleek: I find the last of them the most efficient
[07:33] <rodigut> even when I'm not doing anything
[07:34] <wols_> rodigut: load avg is not a benchmark
[07:34] <tbleek> i run firefox on 32 with linx32
[07:34] <rodigut> what would be an accurate benchmark?
[07:34] <agentnoob> tbleek: it crashes a lot doesn't it?
[07:34] <Pirate_Hunter> .deb file wols thats how I installed it
[07:34] <tbleek> no never had any crashes
[07:34] <Pirate_Hunter> but can't find uninstal
[07:35] <wols_> Pirate_Hunter: then you remove it in synaptic or apt-get or dpkg
[07:35] <agentnoob> tbleek: well if you watch a flash stream like a video or something and pause in between it usually crashes
[07:35] <wols_> Pirate_Hunter: dpkg -l | grep print
[07:35] <luco> hello
[07:35] <wols_> rodigut: what do you want to bench?
[07:36] <tbleek> flash is working fine. but no sound
[07:36] <stefg> rodigut: and you might be surprised to hear that most systems are intelligent enough to use idle cpu-time for internal jobs (caching, updatedb, preloading and stuff) so be glad tha instead putting the feet on the desk your computer is indeed working
[07:36] <GoGi> Where does this "The program BLA is currently not installed" come from?
[07:36] <Pirate_Hunter> wols gonna try that I would use it but I think it is wrong for me to pay 30 for it compared how much I payed for my printer
[07:36] <luco> i need to install  lexmark z603 printer on ubuntu 5.1
[07:36] <agentnoob> tbleek: before on fedora I changed a few settings in the firefox script to export to xorg differently and it lessened the crashing, you might want to check into tweaking that
[07:36] <agentnoob> tbleek: how is it going so far with other flash things? like webpage decor and web games?
[07:36] <tbleek> firefoxrc is FIREFOX_DSP="none"+
[07:37] <wols_> luco: upgrade your ubunut I'd say
[07:37] <tbleek> no problems so far....
[07:37] <luco> i trying. i downloaded .iso for ubuntu 6.10 but can upgrade
[07:37] <agentnoob> tbleek: wow your lucky
[07:37] <rodigut> wols_, stefg: I guess I figure that my computer should feel faster than it is.. which is highly subjective I know, but I guess I just have to add more RAM or something.
[07:37] <agentnoob> tbleek: what processor you using? I'm on turion64
[07:37] <wols_> rodigut: how much RAM?
[07:38] <rodigut> 1GB
[07:38] <stefg> luco: as i learned recently you have to get the drivers from the lexmark-site, they come as .rpm. convert them with alien and search the forums for the howto that i know is there
[07:38] <rodigut> I also have 2 20" widescreen monitors
[07:38] <tbleek> AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
[07:38] <xamox> anyone want to help me get clean urls working with Apache 2 & Ubuntu 6.10 I have ran a2enmod rewrite, says it's loaded, restarted server and it's still not working, any ideas?
[07:38] <stefg> rodigut: ATi video with mesa software 3D accelaration enabled by mistaje/bug?
[07:38] <luco> lexmark site has nothing
[07:39] <rodigut> stefg: no, but I have the nvidia drivers installed
[07:39] <agentnoob> tbleek: might want to try swiftfox then
[07:39] <rodigut> for dual screen
[07:39] <tbleek> i mean everything work... even beryl but no sound with flash
[07:39] <cables> agentnoob, http://getswiftfox.org
[07:39] <agentnoob> tbleek: that extra performance might lessen the chance of flash choking up
[07:39] <cables> swiftfox = icky
[07:39] <Thms> what is the dhcp client of ubuntu ?
[07:39] <stefg> rodigut: nvidia is fine, so it's not that.. how much RAM you got?
[07:39] <wols_> Thms: you told ffox not to make any sound and wonder why flash has none? the mind boggles
[07:39] <SillyZ> question, how does one get the kernel-source installed ? ( dawns flame suit )
[07:39] <rodigut> 1 GB
[07:39] <erUSUL> Thms: dhclient ?
[07:40] <ubuntu-rocks> i'm trying to move my /var folder from 1 drive to another. any suggestions? I know what I want to do, just don't know exactly how to do it.
[07:40] <Pirate_Hunter> tanx wols synaptic is removing it
[07:40] <agentnoob> cables: umm?
[07:40] <wols_> erUSUL: dhclient
[07:40] <stefg> rodigut: that's double the amount that's really needed
[07:40] <cables> agentnoob: http://getswiftfox.org (read the site)
[07:40] <Thms> thanks erUSUL
[07:40] <rodigut> I'm also using a 7100 GS
[07:40] <Pirate_Hunter> wols you wouldn't know where I can get PROPRIETARY driver
[07:40] <wols_> I don't do lexmark. and I avoid proprietary cowdung
[07:41] <EchoBinary> isnt everythign proprietary?
[07:41] <rodigut> EchoBinary: no
[07:41] <gharz> guys, if i install wine... can i install adobe illustrator? will it work 100%/
[07:41] <gharz> ?
[07:42] <cables> gharz, http://appdb.winehq.org
[07:42] <simplyw00x> gharz: check the win app db
[07:42] <stefg> rodigut: the hardware is fine ,spec-wise.
[07:42] <simplyw00x> gharz: and no-one will give you a 100% guarantee
[07:42] <Spec> it is indeed
[07:42] <agentnoob> cables: ah yeah I read something about that before, but wasn't there a few guides on how to modify the source code of firefox to get similar results? There might be some tension with firefox being so prejudice of their trademarks and the debian incident
[07:42] <SillyZ> gharz, check wines db for the application and how well it works
[07:42] <SillyZ> << what cables said
[07:42] <stefg> gharz: probably not, see the wine app-database and ask #winehq
[07:42] <rodigut> stefg: I guess I just expect more from this computer than I'm getting then! hahah
[07:42] <gharz> thanks for the info!!!
[07:42] <gharz> #winehq
[07:42] <cables> agentnoob, Swiftfox also caused issues with fonts for me, and I remember Flash not working properly, although that might be my imagination
[07:43] <SillyZ> then Vmware or Virtualize it and run it in there
[07:43] <rodigut> stefg: got a kick-butt computer at home so I guess I was thinking this should do _at least_ as well
[07:43] <rodigut> anyway thanks@
[07:43] <megafauna> Hi, I would like to partiion my ntfs drive. which program should I use?

[07:43] <Journeyman>  how do you encode video on ubuntu?
[07:43] <Journeyman> I have some home vids I captured and they are raw DV format

[07:44] <Journeyman> EchoBinary, what site?

[07:44] <Pirate_Hunter> PROPRIETARY?? I don't know what it is - i'm just trying to instal a printer so I cna do assignments, didn't think it would be that hard and yes it seems everything is PROPRIETARY but I need something specific for the printer
[07:44] <tbleek> but if i use swiftfox 64 there will be no flashplugin
[07:44] <stefg> rodigut: if you really care that much... you ca run a couple of pseudo benchmarks to identify whats lagging. and ask google,  there's several bloggers which have written up tuning guides for ubuntu.
[07:44] <charles> I have a resolution problem. I have tried almost everything, check this out: http://i15.tinypic.com/4lix3cn.png

[07:58] <ubuntu-rocks> i'm trying to move my /var folder from 1 drive to another, how do i go about this?
[07:58] <neverblue2> using what I wrote?
[07:58] <qb> yes
[07:58] <Spec> ubuntu-rocks: first step would be to boot off a livecd
[07:59] <ubuntu-rocks> spec - copy that
[07:59] <Spec> ubuntu-rocks: then mount the /var filesystem, and the new harddrive, and cp -R /path/to/var /media/new_drive
[07:59] <Spec> ubuntu-rocks: and then edit /etc/fstab so that /var is pointing to the correct harddrive(the new harddrive's device name)
[07:59] <qb> ubuntu-rocks: create the new var called "var_new", copy all from var to var_new, change fstab and then reboot
[07:59] <father> join efnet
[08:00] <neverblue2> nope
[08:00] <neverblue2> that doesnt work
[08:00] <father> join
[08:00] <neverblue2> says something about extra operand
[08:00] <ubuntu-rocks> my first drive is /dev/hda1 and the second is /dev/hdb, what is the exact command to do this
[08:00] <qb> man fstab
[08:01] <father> join
[08:01] <guycook> I found a nice tutorial for import thunderbird email into the Evolution on Feisty, ? does it matter if the source files are 32bit and the host Evolution is on 64bit version of ubuntu?
[08:01] <erUSUL> raphael_: maybe uninstalling envy didn't uninstall the driver? try 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx' (or nvidia-glx-new) if that's what you had instaled

[08:02] <Monteh> the latest ubuntu dvd wont install, i get the menu, but when i press enter on "install or start ubuntu" the status bar that appears afterwards hangs on the first bit.
[08:02] <qb> monteh, I had +- the same
[08:02] <jhasse> When i insert a CD it isn't mounted to my desktop. I think because ntfs-config destroyed my fstab. What can i do?
[08:03] <guycook> Monteh, did you do the checksum on the download?
[08:03] <qb> in fact, i have not a lot of ram, so booting from live and then intalling crashed
[08:03] <qb> so kill the process that you don't use before installing
[08:03] <Monteh> i have official ubuntu cds from v6 onwarsd, none ever installed.
[08:03] <jhasse> Here's my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24611/

[08:05] <Spec> matthew1429: on the filesystem
[08:05] <ompaul> sx66, and it is spamming the channel you are not telling anyone anything -- query it in private
[08:05] <matthew1429> ... duh
[08:05] <Spec> matthew1429: open up a command line and type "which firefox", it'll show you where the binary is
[08:05] <matthew1429> which folder
[08:05] <qb> hello matt
[08:05] <godzirra> Howdy folks.
[08:05] <matthew1429> ty
[08:05] <Spec> matthew1429: but that's just the binary, other files neccessary for the running of firefox are in other locations
[08:05] <guycook> novato_br, makeing the mic work just isn't something I can easily do, so I quit trying that's just me others might can but I gave up for a while.
[08:06] <Spec> matthew1429: updatedb && locate firefox will tell you a lot
[08:06] <tyler_d> success!!
[08:06] <Spec> the mic worked out of the box for me
[08:06] <Spec> tyler_d: excellent
[08:06] <neverblue2> Spec: im trying this: diff this* ../other_dir/this*
[08:06] <godzirra> I've got my wireless on my laptop working correctly, but everytime the screen saver comes on and it locks my laptop, the wireless stops working and I have to reconnect to the wireless access point.  Similarly, if it goes to sleep and I wake the laptop up, I have to completely restart the laptop before wireless will work again.
[08:06] <Spec> there are lots of this* files?
[08:06] <neverblue2> more than one
[08:06] <Spec> yeah, hmm, maybe you can't do that
[08:06] <tyler_d> Spec_: thank-you
[08:06] <Spec> i thought you meant a single file with the same name
[08:06] <neverblue2> qb concur?
[08:07] <tyler_d> Spec_: next one for you, I wanna get rid of the add-leave notifications, using gaim
[08:07] <Spec> neverblue2: are the files named the same?
[08:07] <neverblue2> ah i see
[08:07] <neverblue2> Spec i think your confused :)
[08:07] <Spec> neverblue2: perhaps, but i meant /this* /other/this*, are all the this* files named the same? ie, you want to do: diff  this1 /other/this1; diff this2 /other/this2, diff this3 /other/this3
[08:07] <novato_br> but i can't make it works
[08:08] <novato_br> because i don't what's the problem
[08:08] <Jowi> neverblue, you either "diff dir1 dir2" or "diff file1 file2"
[08:08] <Monteh> what im wondering is. what does centos have, that ubuntu doesnt. that makes centos install like a dream :s
[08:08] <neverblue2> yes
[08:08] <novato_br> and i gues that is not so easy
[08:08] <neverblue2> Jowi, did you see the original question?
[08:08] <Spec> neverblue2: for i in this*; do diff $i /other/$i >> doom.diff; done
[08:08] <novato_br> i saw the audio menu and my microphone is turn on
[08:09] <neverblue2> hmm
[08:09] <neverblue2> that wont work either
[08:09] <Jowi> neverblue, can you diff multiple files (in two dirs) with the same name? diff this* ../other/this* <-- yes, you can but don't use wildcards for folders
[08:09] <Spec> aww, whyn't?
[08:09] <neverblue2> for what I am doing..
[08:09] <neverblue2> oh wait
[08:09] <neverblue2> i can do the loop on this*?
[08:09] <neverblue2> nice
[08:09] <neverblue2> creative :)
[08:10] <Spec> i strive to be creative
[08:10] <Spec> that doesn't mean it'll work
[08:10] <king__> who has Virtual Box?
[08:10] <Jowi> neverblue, if you use "diff folder folder/*" you will get an error
[08:11] <godzirra> I've got my wireless on my laptop working correctly, but everytime the screen saver comes on for a little while, it locks my laptop, the wireless stops working and I have to reconnect to the wireless access point.  Similarly, if it goes to sleep and I wake the laptop up, I have to completely restart the laptop before wireless will work again.
[08:11] <neverblue2> Jowi once again, did you see my original question?
[08:12] <king__> who can help me
[08:12] <Jowi> neverblue, did you see my response to your question if I had seen your original question?
[08:12] <Jowi> :)
[08:13] <neverblue2> nope
[08:13] <neverblue2> doesnt work
[08:14] <Jowi> neverblue, have a look at the --from-file option
[08:14] <Jowi> neverblue, example: diff --from-file Desktop/* Downloads/
[08:15] <hamb> i'm trying to setup dual screen with nvidia-settings, i'm able to get both monitors working, but my 2nd monitor is a widescreen, and its resolution is not being shown in the menu
[08:16] <doopsie> hi, is there anybody around?
[08:16] <skyfaller> hey folks... I'm having serious problems with the Xubuntu alternate disk... the md5 sum checks out, and I've burned it to 3 separate CDs, but it keeps failing when I boot the CD and try to check its integrity...
[08:16] <ubuntu-rocks> can i move /var folder from 1 drive to another, without booting off the live cd?  I have to d/l the livecd
[08:17] <Spec> skyfaller: have you tested a different cd's integrity with the same cdrom drive?
[08:17] <dimspairn> hey, I'm relatively new to linux, and i'm having trouble setting up multi-monitor support on my box. I have two different gfx adaptors; one is a nvidia 420, and the other is a pci voodoo3 2000.
[08:17] <Spec> ubuntu-rocks: you shouldn't
[08:17] <ubuntu-rocks> spec - shouldn't copy with booting off the livecd?
[08:17] <skyfaller> Spec: hm... I was told that only the alternate CD would boot on my old hardware, so no, but I could go try another.
[08:17] <wols_> ubuntu-rocks: you can. remount /var read only then move, then reattach it
[08:18] <Spec> yes, you could do that
[08:18] <Spec> mount -o remount -o rw /var i believe is the command
[08:18] <Spec> err, sorry, make that ro :p
[08:18] <ubuntu-rocks> when i do a "mount" command, i don't see /var, i do see ;, /var/run, /var/lock though
[08:19] <Spec> is /var not on it's own partition right now?
[08:19] <ubuntu-rocks> spec - no i don't think so

[08:36] <GNU\colossus> was the support for installing CLI- only systems pulled from the non-alternative LiveCDs of *ubuntu?
[08:37] <tc-will> so i shared a directory on my ubuntu box by right clicking and setting it to be shared, using SMB, when I attempt to connect to it from my windows laptop i am prompted for login credentials, i never set these and the regular linux user/pass i use to login to the ubuntu box dont work.  How do i set these access creds?
[08:37] <stenh> @hamb...have you tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[08:37] <guycook> duh on me!  I was trying to use the en Thunderbird locale file as the email client, now I know synaptic calls it 'mozilla thunderbird' and it installed this time..... sheesh!

[08:37] <fargiolas> hi could someone please point me to a good function plotting application? best if gtk?
[08:38] <GNU\colossus> ubuntu-rocks: of course you can
[08:38] <GNU\colossus> fargiolas: why not use gnuplot?
[08:38] <ubuntu-rocks> GNU\colossus- thanks
[08:38] <hamb> i've tried adding "1440x900" in front of the Modes section, but doing so and restarting screen makes my 2nd screen disappear from the nvidia settings
[08:39] <RockClimber> could someone suggest a panorama viewer - preferrably one apt-get'able from fiesty. I have a 360 degree jpeg
[08:39] <fargiolas> GNU\colossus: gnuplot is good at plotting data, but i'd like to have a more "educative" software for functions.. what i don't like of gnuplot is that it automatically chose axis boundaries for me
[08:39] <Beastage> need help installing prism54 usb thingy
[08:40] <craigbass1976> Is there another window manager I can use by default when booting up from the live cd?  Some option I can pass?

[08:42] <GNU\colossus> fargiolas: nope, never used it standalone
[08:42] <GNU\colossus> http://quickplot.sourceforge.net/ might be worth a look
[08:42] <hrehf_> hrm, can anyone give me a hint how to get the default ubuntu terminal to recognize emacs shortcuts (word move, etc.) ?
[08:42] <Beastage> damn
[08:42] <hwilde> anybody know why my arrow/home/end keys don't work in vi ?
[08:42] <Beastage> its supposed to work
[08:42] <fargiolas> GNU\colossus: what do you mean for standalone? is there a gnuplot frontend?
[08:43] <hwilde> tc-will, it is just your username and pw
[08:43] <GNU\colossus> there are many programs using gnuplot as a plotting backend
[08:43] <GNU\colossus> like maxima, for example
[08:43] <tc-will> hwilde:  tried that, doesnt accept it

[08:45] <GNU\colossus> was the support for installing CLI- only systems pulled from the non-alternative LiveCDs of *ubuntu?
[08:45] <Monteh> it boots to the option menu, then hangs on the following status bar, every verions i tried so far, even using noapic for example
[08:45] <hwilde> Monteh, what kind of hardware?
[08:46] <ubuntu-rocks> ok, i can't find my knoppix cd and my gentoo live cd, the screen doesn't support whatever resolution it is using.  How about a gentoo minimal install cd. i'm trying to copy /var from 1 drive to another
[08:46] <Monteh> pmd it hwilde
[08:46] <stenh> wols - are you requesting or suggesting?
[08:46] <hwilde> ubuntu-rocks, use dd
[08:46] <Monteh> didnt wanna spam the channel
[08:46] <snail_> can somone explain to me the purpose of 2 xservers , or point me to a more specific channel/server
[08:46] <wols_> stenh: it's a way fr you to actually know what hardware you have
[08:46] <hwilde> Monteh, is it custom built or from a known manufacturer
[08:46] <amshake> any thoughts on making this hard drive behave?
[08:46] <Monteh> custom
[08:46] <ShpxLbh_uk> Hi, does someone use Pentagram tablet on ubuntu ? I don't know where are settings, because I can only 'draw' on small area of screen
[08:47] <Monteh> mobo is asus p4v8x-x latest bios
[08:47] <hwilde> Monteh, unfortunately it might not boot on all custom setups...
[08:47] <ubuntu-rocks> hwilde - i thought dd was for copying entire disk, which mind you, i won't mind trading my 10 gig to the second drive 80 gigs
[08:47] <Monteh> also. i have got centos 4.x to install perfectly, but i want ubuntu tbh.
[08:47] <stenh> ah...if that's in reference to the video card, I have installed either at different times in an attempt to get xserver to start.  I can boot into recovery mode just fine.
[08:47] <hwilde> ShpxLbh_uk, you need to modify the minx miny maxx maxy parametrs in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:47] <hwilde> ubuntu-rocks, dd can be used to copy partitions
[08:47] <hwilde> !dd | ubuntu-rocks
[08:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:48] <hwilde> hmm
[08:48] <snorkel> How do I give myself root privileges so that I can modify, access, delete, and create anything, anywhere I want?
[08:48] <ShpxLbh_uk> hwilde: okey I will find something :> thanks for idea ;)
[08:48] <madman91> is it safe to delete everything in /tmp ?
[08:48] <hwilde> !root | snorkel
[08:48] <ubotu> snorkel: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[08:48] <hwilde> !sudo | snorkel
[08:48] <ubotu> snorkel: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:48] <ubuntu-rocks> unfortunately /var is not is a separate partition on my 10 gigs drive that ran out of space. i'm trying to add a second drive (80gigs) and move the /var folder over to the new drive
[08:48] <hwilde> ShpxLbh_uk, I have a touchscreen with similar issue and I had to edit those parameters.  it was scaling between the device's input coordinates and the monitor display
[08:49] <wols_> ubuntu-rocks: and that is relevant how?
[08:49] <snorkel> hwilde: but i have to enter a password anyway when i use sudo
[08:49] <hwilde> snorkel, yeah so you don't break stuff
[08:49] <snorkel> hwilde: and the same pw doesn't work when i use su
[08:49] <novato_br> how can I do woks my microphone?
[08:49] <novato_br> http://www.cjb.net/images.html?4d518.jpg
[08:49] <ubuntu-rocks> can i use dd to copy my 10 gigs to my 80gig drive and remove the 10 gig drive? sort of like a disk clone
[08:50] <wols_> autoklauen: yes. then your 80G drive is a 10G one
[08:50] <wols_> erm: ubuntu-rocks
[08:50] <hwilde> ubuntu-rocks, yeah you would need to make a 10G partition first then copy it there
[08:50] <genericnickname> Hello
[08:50] <snorkel> !hi
[08:50] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:50] <SimAtWork> hwilde: actually, he could copy it to a bigger partition and then resize the fs
[08:51] <hwilde> SimAtWork, yeah or he could use a ghost cd or an external hd or email himself all the files etc etc etc
[08:51] <wols_> ubuntu-rocks: I already told you the answer to your questin half an hour or hour ago. what's the problem?
[08:51] <rbielun> does anyone know of a fix for the 2.6.20-16 kernel bug(s). everytime i load my computer i have to pick the .15 kernel. if i let it just go to the default .16 version it locks on a black screen with blinking underscore in the top left corner-
[08:51] <genericnickname> I'm completely new to Ubuntu...I got a laptop and, in a fit of boredom, decided "Hey, I've heard a little about this Ubuntu thing", and so I installed it....But when I try to start up now, I try to log in and it gets to "Nautilus", and then to some manager, but suddenly everything disappears and all I see is the background, and it just hangs here.
[08:52] <hwilde> rbielun, all you can do is install all the updates
[08:52] <ubuntu-rocks> wols - i don't have a working boot cd and can't copy the files while the system is online, it is in production. i'm testing on a similar box
[08:52] <rbielun> i keep updating but only as the -.15 kernel version.
[08:52] <pike_> genericnickname: try this maybe. 1) alt-ctrl-f2  2) login  3) sudo adduser  4) after youve mad a user alt-f7 and hit alt-ctrl-backspace and login with the new user
[08:53] <pike_> genericnickname: if that doesnt work you know its not a profile thing
[08:53] <rbielun> my computer won't run the -.16 @ all.~
[08:53] <Delirium-NL> what can i use to make a video of my desktop on ubuntu?
[08:53] <pike_> !istanbul | Delirium-NL
[08:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about istanbul - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:53] <dawn_chorus> rbielun, but .15 runs?
[08:53] <ubuntu-rocks> i've tried g4l (ghost for linux) a little while back to clone a drive and it sucks!
[08:53] <rbielun> yes, .15 runs fine
[08:53] <Delirium-NL> i'll try it pike, thanks
[08:53] <dawn_chorus> interesting
[08:54] <genericnickname> Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not availible or load failed
[08:54] <pike_> Delirium-NL: well ive heard istanbul for screencasts i normally just use imagemagic stuff but thats all cli so istanbul might be best
[08:54] <rbielun> i've read about numerous bugs but had not read about any fixes for it~
[08:54] <snorkel> is there an image viewer that can read .tga files, or convert them to a standard format?
[08:54] <Delirium-NL> ya i was kinda searching for a simple record tool tho
[08:55] <wols_> if you had a boot cd it wouldn't be in production/online either. it would be down. so what I suggested is still possible
[08:55] <dawn_chorus> rbielun, where does it hang?
[08:55] <ShpxLbh_uk> hwilde: there is my xorg file:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24613/   where are these coordinates ?
[08:55] <pike_> genericnickname: or you could once at the ctrl-alt-f2 do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop kbuntu-desktop  and at login screen then when clicking sessions button youll have gnome kde and xfce to choose from one of those should work
[08:55] <stenh> Looking for direction on xserver problem with 6.10 and up.  PC = Compaq SP700, graphics card choice either a legacy nvidia card or ATI Rage Pro IIc
[08:56] <wols_> stenh: start to describe your problem for once
[08:56] <dawn_chorus> stenh, what's the problem?
[08:56] <ubuntu-rocks> wols - ok. tks
[08:57] <stenh> wols:  currently have ubuntustudio loaded.  results of trying to boot normally are either:
[08:57] <wols_> genericnickname: you haen't isntalled the bradcom firmware for your wlan
[08:57] <stenh> 1).  pc hangs w/no response to keyboard commands
[08:58] <Obelix> When I try to play a dvd with mplayer I get this msg: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. ?
[08:58] <raphael_> is there a howto for microdia webcams on a hel80 laptop?
[08:58] <novato_br> wols_,  how can I make work my microphone ?
[08:58] <novato_br> it's turn on in here
[08:58] <stenh> 2).  I get error that x wouldn't start.  when viewing logs, errors are a).  no cyrillic font and b).  couldn't open acpid.  I boot with option acpi=off.
[08:59] <ShpxLbh_uk> Obelix: change in preferences for other video "codec"
[08:59] <ShpxLbh_uk> eg. x11 or other try
[09:00] <raphael_> when video,video1 and video0 exists, shouldn`t programs be able to use the cam?
[09:00] <stenh> last statement in first error log (when I get it) indicates that it's loading glx module, then backtrace...and that's it.
[09:01] <Jowi> Obelix, as ShpxLbh_uk said: mplayer -vo x11 file.avi
[09:01] <Coffeegrindah> can someone take a look at my xorg.conf and tell me where I Messed up, I'm trying to set my resolutions to 2048x1024 but I can't choose the option

[09:04] <Kai-laptop> dawn_chorus, its a new laptop, its not "anymore" its just what doesnt work. its not picking up the wifi device in lspci for one
[09:04] <wols_> broadcom firmware
[09:04] <Kai-laptop> not even sure if what im asking exists, as most other stuff it autosetup, like lan.
[09:04] <wols_> by extracinbg it from the windows driver with fwcutter and copying it to /lib/firmware/
[09:05] <sx66> I had downloaded the libdvdcss2 codec, however, i need mp4 and quicktime, wma codecs, where do I get those?

[09:05] <tofuwabohu> hi

[09:08] <mildner_> good evening  any help to configer wine
[09:08] <novato_br> can I up size my Linux partitions after installed ?
[09:09] <ShpxLbh_uk> novato_br: good question I also need to do it :D
[09:09] <novato_br> yep, me too
[09:09] <greg_g> novato_br: if you have free space (not partitioned) "next to" the partition you want to resize
[09:09] <novato_br> i'm sad, because i should have to install the linux on big partition
[09:10] <stenh> novato:  try gparted
[09:10] <novato_br> Can't I use free space before my linux partition, greg_g ?
[09:10] <greg_g> novato_br:  how is your drive partitioned?
[09:10] <Coffeegrindah> pike_  Just made some minor changes.  going to restart X to try.
[09:10] <ubuntu-rocks> how can i list all files that are above X Mb?
[09:10] <novato_br> windows + linux + swap + data + data + data + data
[09:10] <greg_g> novato_br: I think the free space only has to be "touching" the partition you want to connect it to, so yeah, before should work
[09:11] <greg_g> novato_br: (did that make sense, I assume you are from Brazil?)
[09:11] <fraco> I'm missing "Multimedia System Selector" in the ubuntu menu. Sounds like a feature I'm really missing. What package provides it?
[09:11] <Azhi_Dahaka> hi
[09:11] <keith> ubuntu-rocks: 'man find'
[09:11] <novato_br> yep
[09:11] <novato_br> did you ask about my partitions, greg_g ?
[09:11] <novato_br> i answered
[09:11] <greg_g> novato_br: yeah
[09:11] <greg_g> yeah
[09:11] <novato_br> windows first partition
[09:11] <novato_br> linux is second
[09:11] <greg_g> novato_br: do you want to delete windows?
[09:11] <novato_br> swap is third
[09:12] <novato_br> no
[09:12] <Azhi_Dahaka> i have two hard disk, a 10GiB one and an 80GiB one... the computer originally was XP and both disks were NTFS.
[09:12] <Coffeegrindah> No luck.. though I'm seeing available resolitions that aren't in my xorg.conf
[09:12] <greg_g> novato_br: do you want to make the windows partition smaller and make the linux bigger?
[09:12] <novato_br> i want take free space of windows partition and I want give to Linux partition
[09:12] <greg_g> novato_br: you can do that
[09:12] <Azhi_Dahaka> XP crashed and I decided to give ubuntu a try... pretty cool, and now the 10GiB now is ext3
[09:12] <novato_br> i want use the partition magic software
[09:12] <greg_g> novato_br: defragment the windows partition first
[09:13] <novato_br> ok
[09:13] <novato_br> thx
[09:13] <greg_g> novato_br: then resize it (smaller), you will then have some free space before linux
[09:13] <Azhi_Dahaka> I can read the NTFS disks and I know about the NTFS write drivers
[09:13] <greg_g> novato_br: then resize linux using the free space
[09:13] <Azhi_Dahaka> but, I don't know how reliable those are
[09:13] <greg_g> should work
[09:13] <novato_br> it is secure use partition magic, i think it defragment partition
[09:13] <novato_br> yep
[09:13] <greg_g> novato_br: ok... yeah,
[09:14] <novato_br> greg_g,  because i'm install all softwares of linux
[09:14] <greg_g> novato_br: sounds like you know what to do :)
[09:14] <novato_br> My HD is 250GB
[09:14] <novato_br> heehe
[09:14] <novato_br> ok
[09:14] <novato_br> thx
[09:14] <cables> My friend screwed up his gdm.conf, and I'd like to send him mine. Does it have any confidential information?
[09:14] <greg_g> no worries
[09:14] <greg_g> good luck, come back if you have any questions
[09:14] <novato_br> and may i still help me?

[09:16] <tyler_d> anyone with experience with efax-gtk?
[09:16] <genericnickname> What does it mean to fwcutter the drivers?
[09:16] <novato_br> how can I do my microfone to works on ubuntu?
[09:16] <Jowi> cables, no it does not contain any personal info. but, you might want to set it to nice defaults in gdmsetup first (so that it doesn't try to load a theme that doesn't exist aso)
[09:17] <greg_g> genericnickname: I think it means "cut out" the actual information that linux needs to use
[09:17] <cables> Jowi, I'm using one of the built in themes. Thanks.
[09:17] <greg_g> genericnickname: I could be wrong though
[09:17] <sx66> how do you change the password?

[09:20] <MetaMorfoziS> hi all
[09:20] <MetaMorfoziS> how can i add an user (from cli) who only can halt/reboot the machine
[09:20] <timothyarnold85> i'm installing ubuntu on top of a windows ntfs partition (there is only one partition). I am interested in dual booting; what is the best way to go about partitioning to make that possible?
[09:20] <MetaMorfoziS> so a normal user, but without root acces (only for halt)
[09:20] <MetaMorfoziS> and reboot.
[09:20] <cables> timothyarnold85, it'll be automatic.
[09:20] <cables> timothyarnold85, just make sure you select the "resize existing partition" option on the install.
[09:21] <timothyarnold85> cables: OK, so resize existing partition & use freed space will preserve the ntfs partition?
[09:21] <sx66> ?
[09:21] <sx66> !theme
[09:21] <ubotu> Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[09:21] <cables> timothyarnold85, yep. Keep in mind that the size value applies to the NTFS partition, not the new Ubuntu partition
[09:21] <tyler_d> is it possible to pass a pci card to a virtual machine using qemu?
[09:21] <timothyarnold85> cables: OK, that's all I wanted to know; thanks!

[09:22] <dawn_chorus> timothyarnold85, defrag your Windows drive within Windows before you resize.  Be sure that there are no files put at the very end of the drive.  If there are, don't resize your partition until you find a way to move those files to another part of the disk.  Else, no more Windows.
[09:23] <adaminla> I want to back up my pc. Using Daper. Any other programmes besides sbackup? recomandations?
[09:23] <LjL> !backup > adaminla    (adaminla, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:23] <cables> dawn_chorus, that's so not true. It's completely unnecessary to defrag the drive. GParted is smart enough not to clobber data at the end of the drive, I had data at the end, and it resized it just fine.
[09:23] <Esqueleto> oi
[09:24] <dawn_chorus> cables, lucky you.

[09:28] <CokeMan> after i've installed the java jre, how do i get it to work for applets in firefox?
[09:28] <cables> CokeMan, you need to install the plugin, not just the jre
[09:29] <CokeMan> cables: it wont install
[09:29] <cables> CokeMan, so install sun-java6-plugin (or sun-java5-plugin if you installed sun-java5-jre)
[09:29] <cables> CokeMan, how did you install the jre?
[09:29] <CokeMan> cables: apt-get
[09:29] <telo> What is the preferred vpn mechanism these days?
[09:30] <cables> CokeMan, 5 or 6?
[09:30] <CokeMan> 6
[09:30] <cables> CokeMan, so do < sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin >
[09:30] <CokeMan> installing the plugin worked, thanks.

[09:34] <Azhi_Dahaka> cables, the upgrade to 7.04 didn't worked as my sound stops working on it
[09:34] <Azhi_Dahaka> it's fine until 6.10, then it dies
[09:35] <timtux> Azhi_Dahaka, try to install 7.04 from a clean system
[09:35] <Azhi_Dahaka> it's reported on a lot of places and i spent one entire day trying to fix it without luck... seems to be a bug
[09:35] <timtux> May help
[09:35] <newb_prob> I compiled a new window manager from source. How do I add it to the "session" menu I get at the login screen?
[09:35] <Azhi_Dahaka> i installed it on a clean system
[09:35] <timtux> ah
[09:35] <Azhi_Dahaka> that's how i found that it didn't worked ok
[09:35] <Azhi_Dahaka> the card is recognized, installed and seems to play ok
[09:35] <timtux> Well, check what modules the soundcard needs and load them manually
[09:35] <timtux> checked alsamixer?
[09:35] <CokeMan> im rather new to linux and i know how to protect myself in windows, how do i know what programs are proper to be running what arnt and if im infected with like a backdoor or something how would i know if someone's compromised mysystem, are there firewalls (easily useable in every day) etc?
[09:36] <keev> how can i change my startup sound?
[09:36] <Azhi_Dahaka> but there's no sound coming from the speakers... yes, checked alsamixer levels, modified alsaconf and a lot of things
[09:36] <Azhi_Dahaka> no luck
[09:37] <ScottMac> #list
[09:37] <dave_> #list
[09:37] <Azhi_Dahaka> seems to be an issue with the kernel version, as the version exactly before the one on 7.04 worked fine

[09:39] <keev> ty
[09:39] <Nuked> thats 140f monteh
[09:39] <Monteh> maybe the program is misreporting the temp
[09:40] <Monteh> good air circulation around the hd?

[09:45] <mik__> anybody can recomend a good laptop to run ubuntu on, so it can run also vista... so I can make 2 partitions etc... I want to be able to run games on it too, like atleast doom3 graphics...
[09:46] <tarzeau> does someone in here make free music?
[09:46] <stefg> mik__: how about giving Dell a call about that? But be warned: Vista is pretty unsocial with other OS's
[09:46] <Nuked> mik__, I know system 76 sells ubuntu laptops
[09:47] <toryl__> tarzeau:  yes, you?
[09:47] <rancidlm> hey all i did a update on my laptop last night and i went to kernel 2.6.20-16   after rebooting i got no more sound on my laptop alsa  is running and it detects a soundcard but no audio can some one please help me this is the second pc that 2.6.20-16 has messed up
[09:47] <mik__> rather something under 1000 $...
[09:47] <tarzeau> toryl__: pity, not me. but i make free textures, and maps. but i need someone to make music, for a game levels

[09:48] <ahmed> guys i have just installed linuxant driver loader for wlan driver on linux,, everything isfine and after loading my wlan windows drivers i have this msgs 	Kernel module ipw3945 overridden by netw39x5. where ipw
[09:48] <ahmed> is the linux driver
[09:49] <ahmed> and netw39x5 is the windows one
[09:49] <roryy> shad0w1e: there are a few jabber servers in the repos; they're not *too* bad to setup, though I've only made limited use of them.  should work with gaim and other jabber clients
[09:49] <ahmed> how to fix this ?
[09:49] <mik__> klav: they will run vista on them too?
[09:49] <shad0w1e> roryy, how about something with a web client?
[09:49] <mik__> i mean they're like supported and stuff
[09:49] <klav> mik_ : Sure, if you were to install it yourself . comes preloaded with ubuntu
[09:49] <Monteh> i got my case for 4 Nuked, best case i ever bought
[09:49] <Monteh> D:
[09:49] <q2srw77> Question:  I'm trying to setup a Desktop Launcher that will allow prompt me to use Root/SuperUser rights.  Currently I have to open a terminal window and sudo the program I want to open.  Anyway to do that?
[09:49] <roryy> shad0w1e: like a web forum thing?
[09:50] <shad0w1e> like one of those java chat things but non-irc because that's public. i want to host it locally
[09:50] <klav> mik__: only issue there is you would have to remove ubuntu first - install MS then reinstall ubuntu - or maybe not i haven't touched vista
[09:50] <toryl__> tarzeau: sounds fun, maybe ask comp.music.midi?
[09:50] <sly> hello everybody :)
[09:51] <ahmed> guyss
[09:51] <ahmed> guys i have just installed linuxant driver loader for wlan driver on linux,, everything isfine and after loading my wlan windows drivers i have this msgs  Kernel module ipw3945 overridden by netw39x5. where ipw is the linux driver and netw39x5 is the windows one , how to fix this ? plz helpppp
[09:51] <klav> mik__ : but the laptops themselves are really nice
[09:51] <piratenin> Could someone help me set up my 5.1 sound under Ubuntu fiesty?
[09:51] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i remove all the options that appear at startup?
[09:51] <mik__> hmm... but its rather easy to split up the drive into 2 partitions, have like 50 gb for vista and 50 for ubuntu...
[09:51] <mik__> ?
[09:51] <Azhi_Dahaka> i'm getting and old windows install and lots of weird ubuntu versions
[09:51] <shad0w1e> piratenin, I hope it isn't sound blaster X-Fi :)
[09:51] <pike_> Azhi_Dahaka: what do you mean by options? like raid support etc.?
[09:51] <Jared> How risky would it be to crash windows if I resized a windows partition with the ubuntu installer.

[09:51] <ahmed> guys i have just installed linuxant driver loader for wlan driver on linux,, everything isfine and after loading my wlan windows drivers i have this msgs  Kernel module ipw3945 overridden by netw39x5. where ipw is the linux driver and netw39x5 is the windows one , how to fix this ? plz helpppp
[09:51] <LjL> q2srw77: use "gksudo applicationname" instead of just "applicationname" in the command line of the launcher.
[09:51] <finch> what package do you need to install to change kernels? I seem to have 2.6.20-16-generic now but want to see if a newer kernel lacks a bug in the current version
[09:52] <shad0w1e> piratenin, oh should work then, never did it tho....
[09:52] <q2srw77> thanks
[09:52] <hydan> how can one update to gutsy gibbon?
[09:52] <piratenin> well isn't working as of right now
[09:52] <klav> mik__ : im not a partition master , but yeah im sure it's possible to do so without removing ubuntu first
[09:52] <null_kuhl> guys i have just installed linuxant driver loader for wlan driver on linux,, everything isfine and after loading my wlan windows drivers i have this msgs  Kernel module ipw3945 overridden by netw39x5. where ipw is the linux driver and netw39x5 is the windows one , how to fix this ? plz helpppp
[09:52] <LjL> finch, there is no newer kernel available than 2.6.20-16
[09:52] <SlimG> My wireless nic isn't recognized in gutsy, where do I start when trying to figure out what/where the problem is?
[09:52] <ramatieg> hydan: You don't want to do that right now
[09:52] <piratenin> it is trying to play the music via the speaker out on the back of the computer, the green stero plug
[09:52] <sly> someone knows if it's possible to move some system data to another disk on the system ?
[09:52] <spikeb> !gutsy
[09:52] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10).

[09:53] <finch> LjL, there must be. The version I have now has some problem detecting drives and takes 5 minutes to timeout and finish booting
[09:53] <LjL> finch: there "must" be? there just isn't.
[09:53] <null_kuhl> hellooo
[09:53] <toryl__> jared:  defrag and check out info on deleting hklm\system\mounteddevices
[09:53] <null_kuhl> guys plz hellpp :(
[09:53] <LjL> finch: feel free to compile your own, but there is not a package.
[09:53] <LjL> !kernel > finch    (finch, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:54] <Azhi_Dahaka> pike_, i mean a lot of options at startup... like 3 Ubuntu followed by something that I suppose are the kernel versions
[09:54] <novato_br> plz, i don't know where can I looking for? My Sound is Nvidia Audio SoundMax
[09:54] <omegacenti> What is better than Ventrilo, and if it exists, what is it called in Ubuntu?
[09:54] <novato_br> and my mic doesnt works on ubuntu
[09:54] <novato_br> and windows it's working
[09:54] <spanglesontoast> anyone know why my laptop cannot boot to my windows cdrom so I can fix the hal.dll
[09:54] <finch> LjL, I say "must" because I read on launchpad (some time ago) that there was a patch for that problem and it was supposedly resolved in a later kernel
[09:55] <spanglesontoast> grub seems to get in the way
[09:55] <null_kuhl> guys i have just installed linuxant driver loader for wlan driver on linux,, everything isfine and after loading my wlan windows drivers i have this msgs  Kernel module ipw3945 overridden by netw39x5. where ipw is the linux driver and netw39x5 is the windows one , how to fix this ? plz helpppp
[09:56] <piratenin> Does anyone know of a good music player for ubuntu, Rythmbox and I don't get along very well
[09:56] <LjL> finch, there certainly are newer kernels than 2.6.20, but they aren't available in Ubuntu Feisty yet. actually, 2.6.21 or later will *never* be available in Feisty - you only get security fixes. or, if the bug is deemed very serious, a patch may get backported. as of right now, however, the latest Ubuntu kernel simply is 2.6.20-16.
[09:56] <stefg> spanglesontoast: probably the bios is not set to boot from CD (because you see grub, which wouldn't happen otherwise) further support with windows in ##windows
[09:56] <LjL> finch: when a new one is available in the repositories, you should get notified automatically.
[09:56] <null_kuhl> HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO :(
[09:56] <LjL> !players > piratenin    (piratenin, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:56] <finch> LjL, 5 minute boot isn't serious enough I guess. Hrmph
[09:56] <dawn_chorus> piratenin, i like audacious and amarok.
[09:57] <spanglesontoast> setfg it is actually
[09:57] <LjL> finch: are you sure it can't be worked around somehow? some kernel options to pass...?
[09:57] <oxigen> hi, i want to compile some software with flags for cpu optimizations, but i cant find my cputype (i have Pentium D Presler 945 3.4GHz), or what to put in flag instead of: '-mtune=nocona'
[09:57] <piratenin> Is it more common to download new programs for ubuntu with the terminal or to download something off my web browser
[09:57] <dawn_chorus> oxigen, you're a P4.
[09:57] <oxigen> dawn_chorus: thanks!
[09:57] <roryy> null_kuhl: it looks like no-one on right now knows how to help you; ask again in a while.
[09:57] <stefg> spanglesontoast: then your CD isn't accepted as bootable
[09:58] <LjL> piratenin, it is most common (and sane) to just use the repositories (meaning either Synaptic or apt-get, normally)
[09:58] <finch> LjL, the bug I read was specifically about some brand of dvdr and the workaround was to add a kernel option but it doesn't work for me. I don't even have a burner.
[09:58] <dawn_chorus> oxigen, good luck with the build.  :)
[09:58] <piratenin> how do I find out what stuff is avalible with apt-get?
[09:58] <piratenin> and exactly what to type in
[09:58] <spanglesontoast> well it has before
[09:58] <finch> LjL, though I get the same error messages they mentioned so I suspect it's related
[09:59] <stefg> spanglesontoast: sometimes CDs 7drives break
[09:59] <roryy> piratenin: i recommend synaptic (system -> admin -> synaptic); it will let you browse software available for download
[09:59] <Jowi> piratenin, "apt-cache search general info" or "apt-cache search -n name"
[09:59] <LjL> finch, you could of course try kernel 2.6.20-15, but i suppose it won't make a difference. what's the bug report anyway?
[09:59] <finch> LjL, I'll have to find it again
[09:59] <klav> piratenin: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[09:59] <LjL> !packages > piratenin    (piratenin, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:59] <rolnxyz_> piratenin: to find new stuff without knowing what you are looking for I would use the GUI synaptics. If you know what you are looking for sudo apt-cache search termtosearch
[09:59] <LjL> rolnxyz_: sudo...?
[09:59] <Eric_Jardas> anyone here know how to write regex ?
[09:59] <stefg> spanglesontoast: it's a CD or bios issue... this all happens before grub kicks in, so it's not 'grub getting in the way'
[10:00] <finch> LjL, I believe it's related to the ATA changes made in the kernel just prior to feisty release
[10:00] <piratenin> What is the difference between multiverse, universe, and restricted?
[10:00] <roryy> Eric_Jardas: simple ones, sure.  what d'you want?
[10:00] <dawn_chorus> piratenin, you can search the cache.  sudo apt-cache search mp3 for example.
[10:00] <LjL> piratenin: "main" is free software maintained by the core developers of Ubuntu; "universe" is free software maintained by the community; "restricted" is non-free software by the core devs; "multiverse" is non-free by the community
[10:01] <LjL> dawn_chorus, rolnxyz_: what's this "sudo apt-cache search" thing? apt-cache search does *not* want or need sudo
[10:01] <null_kuhl> guys i have just installed linuxant driver loader for wlan driver on linux,, everything isfine and after loading my wlan windows drivers i have this msgs  Kernel module ipw3945 overridden by netw39x5. where ipw is the linux driver and netw39x5 is the windows one , how to fix this ? plz helpppp
[10:01] <Eric_Jardas> roryy, It Should match a word after def (with space in between)
[10:01] <rolnxyz_> LjL: im sorry no sudo
[10:01] <dawn_chorus> LjL, really?  i've *always* had to type in sudo.  ??
[10:02] <LjL> dawn_chorus: you you don't. "apt-get install" wants sudo, since you're going to make changes to system stuff. "apt-cache search" just shows you the list of packages, and any user can call it.
[10:02] <roryy> Eric_Jardas: 'def .+' is slightly overbroad possibility. maybe 'def [a-zA-Z] +' ?
[10:02] <sly> is there a folder equal to the program files of windows on ubuntu ? If yes is it possible to move this folder on another hard disk ? thanks
[10:02] <roryy> Eric_Jardas: perhaps we could discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic instead?
[10:02] <stefg> !easyubuntu
[10:02] <LjL> sly: no
[10:02] <ubotu> easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[10:02] <piratenin> Ok so say I found something on the apt-cache that I want, how do I know whato type in?
[10:02] <caminomaster> hello
[10:02] <gordboy> is there a light fast caching nameserver for a desktop scenario ?
[10:03] <sly> argh... thank you
[10:03] <dawn_chorus> LjL, huh.  imagine that.  :)
[10:03] <LjL> sly: in the UNIX filesystem model, files are mostly placed in directories by "type", so to say. so, documentation lives in /usr/share/doc, while executables live in /usr/bin, etc etc
[10:03] <LjL> sly: a single program normally has files scattered all around the filesystem
[10:03] <caminomaster> i've installed amsn097 but it claims for tls, and amsn can't get it from sourceforge
[10:03] <p1ls> hey guys, what programs you suggest to editing your window/fonts settings, similar to mwm,
[10:03] <LjL> sly: however, quite a few people have /usr as a separate partition. that might be an option for you, perhaps.
[10:03] <p1ls> hey guys, what programs you suggest to editing your window/fonts settings, similar to mwm, fvmw
[10:03] <omegacenti> What is better than Ventrilo, and if it exists, what is it called in Ubuntu?
[10:04] <stefg> bah.... no easyubuntu for feisty
[10:04] <Tom_UK> hey all, im trying to install a creative webcam on ubuntu feistey fawn but my /dev/video0 isnt created, what the hell have i missed
[10:04] <stefg> !easysource
[10:04] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[10:04] <viktor> hi
[10:04] <p1ls> hey guys, what programs you suggest to editing your window/fonts settings, similar to mwm, fvmw
[10:04] <Jowi> piratenin, example: try this "apt-cache searn -n xorg dev". first thing you will see is the packagename followed by - description. you use "sudo apt-get install packagename" to install or "sudo apt-get remove packagename" to remove
[10:05] <Jowi> typo there. "apt-cache search -n xorg dev"
[10:05] <stefg> !w32codecs
[10:05] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[10:05] <caminomaster> hi, has anyone installed amsn.97 from 3v1n0?
[10:06] <sly> great thank you for your anwers i have to gain freespace on my system drive, and i'm havin another hard disk with plenty freespace. I'm trying to understand what i can do, so I'm gonna search right now what is the usr folder
[10:06] <Jowi> piratenin, another example for a general search: "apt-cache search gnome card game"
[10:07] <LjL> sly, "/usr" is the most massive directory in your system. basically, it contains all software that isn't needed at the early stages of the boot process.
[10:07] <Tom_UK> hey all, im trying to install a creative webcam on ubuntu feistey fawn but my /dev/video0 isnt created, what the hell have i missed
[10:07] <LjL> sly: another thing people often do is have /home as a separate partition
[10:07] <omegacenti> piratenin: Um with the Xorg thing, I know am jumping into the conversation, but if you would tell me what you find I would greatly appreciate it.
[10:07] <Jowi> piratenin, that will give you two packages. gnome-games and gnome-hearts. "sudo apt-get install gnome-hearts" will install it for you
[10:07] <Pelo> stefg, learn to use apt-get you'll never need easyubuntu again
[10:07] <soneil> is anyone familiar enough with folder actions in osx, to know what it'd take to add something similar to Nautilus ?
[10:07] <LjL> !fhs > sly    (sly, see the private message from Ubotu)
[10:08] <stefg> Pelo: i know how to use it... it's a matter of time and concentration when you set three different boxes at once
[10:08] <misfit> I have XP and Ubuntu on my computer.  My burner works ok in XP but I can't burn anything in Ubuntu.  Any suggestions?
[10:08] <Pelo> soneil,  descrive what folder actions do in osx
[10:08] <fletch_> misfit: what program are you usign to burn with?
[10:08] <jebuskrist> afternoon all
[10:08] <Jowi> piratenin, let me know if I wasn't clear.
[10:09] <sly> yeah great thank you ! i already made the home on the other hard disk i look further for the usr thank you very much again :)
[10:09] <soneil> Pelo, you add a script to a folder, in such a manner than the script will be called if the appropriate events occur in that folder.  such as "when (new file appears) do { this }"
[10:09] <misfit> Fletch, I've tried k3b, amarok and the built-in cd creator program
[10:09] <Pelo> soneil,  look into  devilspie  ( devil's pie)
[10:09] <soneil> Pelo, it strikes me that python & gamin could do the job I'm thinking of, but if I could piggy-back off nautilus, I wouldn't need the script running constantly
[10:09] <gloin> Is there a channel specific to ltsp on ubuntu?
[10:10] <jrib> Pelo: that's not really the same
[10:10] <MetaMorfoziS> how can i make a simple user, who only can shutdown and reboot the system, and no anything else that needs root
[10:10] <MetaMorfoziS> ?
[10:10] <Pelo> jrib,  I know but it might do the trick depending on what he wants to do
[10:10] <omegacenti> I am trying to get certain resolutions to work with ubuntu. The resolutions work in windows. I have messed with 915resolution, Xorg.conf, and have barely tapped the bootup scripts to install 915resolution during startip. However, I still cannot get these resolutions. I have a Gateway CX2618 with a 14inch TFT WXGA tabletmonitor and am running ubuntu 7.04  I would GREATLY appreciate advice/walkthrough support from
[10:10] <omegacenti> someone who has dealt with such issues before.
[10:10] <misfit> It just freezes the system on all programs when it says it's preparing the cdrom
[10:10] <soneil> my impression is that devilspie customises the behaviour of the window manager?
[10:10] <fletch_> misfit: is ubuntu atleast recognizing the drive?
[10:10] <opapo> nmblookup fails when I search for my hostname
[10:10] <Kobalts> Where are core dump files saved to?
[10:10] <jessy_> which version do I have to download to have an ubuntu live cd?
[10:11] <jrib> jessy_: desktop
[10:11] <jessy_> desktop ?
[10:11] <georgy28> jessy_, desktop version
[10:11] <Pelo> jessy_,   the desktop one
[10:11] <jessy_> ok thanks ;)
[10:11] <gloin> gads
[10:11] <misfit> fletch, yes it sees it.  I can read cd's and it recognizes the blank cd's.  Again, it freezes the system when it's prepping the disc, but it works just fine in XP.
[10:11] <Kobalts> I got a Segmentation fault (core dumped) ... anyone know where the core file is saved to?
[10:11] <misfit> So I know the hardware is good.
[10:12] <fletch_> misfit: right
[10:12] <Jowi> omegacenti, wxga has got several types of supported resolutions. which one is the native for your monitor?
[10:12] <OsX> is there a stand alone flash player out ?
[10:12] <omegacenti> Jowi: 1280x768, currently unselectable with my configuration and ubuntu
[10:12] <soneil> Kobalts: what does "ulimit -c" return?  I believe most distros disable cores by default
[10:12] <Jowi> omegacenti, run "sudo 915resolution -l". is that resolution listed?
[10:13] <misfit> Any recommendation on what else I can try?
[10:13] <omegacenti> Jowi: One second please.
[10:13] <Lekrem> OSX: Gnash
[10:13] <Kobalts> soneil: says 0
[10:13] <fletch_> misfit: i personally dont burn many things onto discs
[10:13] <OsX> is that the packages name Lekrem ?
[10:13] <omegacenti> Jowi: No.
[10:13] <Lekrem> OSX yup
[10:13] <fletch_> misfit: but a friend of mine does, im trying to remember what program he uses
[10:13] <d2dchat> i just installed workrave.. my keyboard is going to lock in 8 minutes!! AHHH!
[10:13] <Kobalts> d'oh!  I guess I need to enable it then
[10:14] <d2dchat> I dunno if i can even take breaks...
[10:14] <d2dchat> It's just not normal ..
[10:14] <fletch_> misfit: it wasn't one of the ones you mentioned using
[10:14] <misfit> fletch, same here but at times it's necessary.
[10:14] <Jowi> omegacenti, ok. the first thing that need to be done is to set 915resolution to the resolution you want.
[10:14] <d2dchat> does anyone else use workrave to save their fingers and hands?
[10:14] <OsX> thanks Lekrem
[10:15] <omegacenti> Jowi: Supposedly it can run 1280 768 at 32 bits. However, I also need 640 480m 800 600, and 1024x768(currently the only one avaiable)
[10:15] <soneil> Kobalts: Usually 0 would stop the creation of cores (by limiting them to zero bytes), but I'm not sure if that applies to the kernel.   http://kerneltrap.org/node/5758   has information on accessing a kernel dump, and suggests some tools you may want to look into
[10:15] <misfit> there's another I tried called x-cd-roast
[10:15] <carolyn_> i need to change the permissions of my external hd from R-only to R/W...
[10:15] <misfit> Didn't work either.
[10:15] <fletch_> misfit: what kind of files are you trying to burn?
[10:16] <Jowi> omegacenti, no probs. as you can see on the output of 915resolution -l there are resolutions available that you don't use such as 1280x1024
[10:16] <jebuskrist> anyone know why when i log out instead of returning to the login screen it dumps me to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left i can then alt+f1 to a prompt and have to manually reboot to get the GUI back
[10:16] <fletch_> misfit: since some programs are better then others with specific file types
[10:16] <Kobalts> soneil: Thanks for the information
[10:16] <Jowi> omegacenti, before the resolution you see Mode and a number. chose a resolution (32 bit for example) that you don't use.
[10:16] <omegacenti> Jowi: Yes, I also thought the first 5 modes could be conviently erased and swapped with the modes I want. However, I have forgotten since my last attempt on how to do this.
[10:16] <leperkhan1> Hey, is there any way to have an actual machine display real time as a VM in Ubuntu?
[10:17] <fletch_> misfit: i get the feeling its got something to do with the buffer, but im not entirely sure
[10:17] <leperkhan1> For instance to play windows games in a windows window in ubuntu?
[10:17] <SlimG> My wireless nic isn't recognized in gutsy, where do I start when trying to figure out what/where the problem is?
[10:17] <Jowi> omegacenti, only the 32 bit modes are interesting for us
[10:17] <misfit> The first time, it was a few documents I had saved in my computer.  The second time, (this time) I'm trying to burn a music cd.
[10:17] <leperkhan1> Right now I'm using VNC, but the performance is too slow for gaming.
[10:17] <jebuskrist> leperkhan1, some run under WINE but the more advanced ones require a subscription to Cedega
[10:17] <Jowi> omegacenti, what is the mode number for 1280x1024 32 bit in your list?
[10:17] <ironfroggy> My wife's ubuntu machine started acting weird, as if the shift was held, yet keys were typing lower case. after restarting we're getting a kernel panic "Cannot open root device '301' or unknown-block(3,1)", yet a rescue CD and a fsck shows no problems with mounting root.
[10:18] <mc44> SlimG: #ubuntu+1 for gutsy
[10:18] <carolyn_> i lost the c-drive again...
[10:18] <ironfroggy> does anyone have any idea how i could diagnose that further?
[10:18] <misfit> What's the buffer, if you don't mind me asking?
[10:18] <ironfroggy> i want to avoid a backup-and-reinstall.
[10:18] <leperkhan1> jebuskrist: Yeah, tried that, but Wine just isn't good enough imho.
[10:18] <SlimG> mc44: thanks
[10:18] <carolyn_> what's the default location for the c drive in wine?
[10:18] <omegacenti> Jowi: So I should only mess with modes that are 32 bit? I thought all modes cold be rewrittent to be 32 bit. Also, 915resolution does not take affect unless X is restarted and even then you have to set a configuration file for 915resolution soewhere... Right?
[10:18] <Lekrem> carolyn_: D:
[10:18] <omegacenti> Jowi: its mode 5a
[10:18] <omegacenti> Jowi: er mode 58
[10:18] <mc44> carolyn_: ~/.wine/drive_c/
[10:19] <leperkhan1> Maybe I can bring my video out of the Windows box, and have it go to the video IN of my linux box and use a KVM?
[10:19] <ironfroggy> is there any logical reason for root to be mountable under the rescue disk but suddenly not for the machine itself?
[10:19] <jebuskrist> leperkhan1, you might try Innotek's Virtual Box i think is the name but im pretty sure that doesnt handle DirectX too well if its a DOS program/game then DOSbox may do the trick otherwise your only option is compiling cedega/winex from source or buying a subscription to Cedega
[10:19] <jebuskrist> leperkhan1, that may work too :D
[10:19] <Kobalts> soneil: ulimit -c unlimited fixes it.  Thanks again
[10:19] <misfit> fletch, is there a command I can run to determine if the buffer is acting up?
[10:19] <Jowi> omegacenti, you need to reboot for the changes to take effect actually. ok, let's continue. "sudo nano /etc/default/915resolution". set MODE=58, XRESO=1280, YRESO=768
[10:20] <leperkhan1> yeah, well, I really just want to have my VM be an ACTUAL machine.  Since I have extra machines lying around.
[10:20] <leperkhan1> or a higher speed VNC that does graphics real time.
[10:20] <lukillas> hi everybody
[10:20] <jebuskrist> leperkhan1, is your video IN supported under linux?
[10:20] <fletch_> misfit: not that i know of, but the buffer is what usually freezes computers (atleast for me) when a burning process is being attempted
[10:20] <leperkhan1> yeah.
[10:20] <sam_home> is there a ubuntu_christian or similar?
[10:20] <sam_home> a #irc ?
[10:20] <leperkhan1> but kinda low res.   It's just a TV tuner card.
[10:20] <Pirate_Hunter> how can I open files that are .package - I'm trying to update amsn
[10:20] <ironfroggy> sam_home: can i ask, whats the point?
[10:21] <jebuskrist> that may be the simplest option leperkhan1
[10:21] <misfit> Hm.  Fletch, I just downloaded gnome baker.  Let me give that a try.
[10:21] <leperkhan1> Hmmm...
[10:21] <sam_home> i have been playing with their stupid content filtering
[10:21] <leperkhan1> Interesting Idea.
[10:21] <fletch_> the buffer is what temp stores and deals with the info being burned onto the disc
[10:21] <omegacenti> Jowi: Done.
[10:21] <sam_home> and broken my machine
[10:21] <fletch_> misfit: ok
[10:21] <misfit> Oh, ok
[10:21] <jebuskrist> i find wine doesnt quite do it for me either so i just dual boot
[10:21] <leperkhan1> Guess I could send Audio too!
[10:21] <jebuskrist> sam_home, see what religion gets ya? jk
[10:21] <vaurdan> Hello
[10:21] <PreZGN> Is there an estimate to when a 2.6.21 kernel will be avail for feisty?
[10:21] <GigaClon> uh, azureus dies on me when i start it
[10:21] <sam_home> :)
[10:22] <leperkhan1> (though that would limit my 5.1 audio).
[10:22] <Jowi> omegacenti, save with ctrl-x (if you use nano). now we need to setup xorg.conf. "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[10:22] <PreZGN> And is the next release going to be called 'Galloping Gargoyles'? :P
[10:22] <omegacenti> Jowi: Command completed.
[10:22] <PreZGN> heh ;)
[10:22] <mc44> !gutsy | PreZGN
[10:22] <ubotu> PreZGN: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10). See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000276.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule - Roadmap and specifications: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy - Support in #ubuntu+1
[10:22] <omegacenti> Jowi: Would you like a pastebin of my xorg.conf?
[10:22] <Pirate_Hunter> how can I open files that are .package - I'm trying to update amsn
[10:22] <sam_home> so do they have a channel? or does anyone her know how their script locks the firefox proxy settings?
[10:23] <Jowi> omegacenti, can't hurt :)
[10:23] <PreZGN> ubotu: hehe ;)
[10:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hehe ;) - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:23] <omegacenti> !pastebin
[10:23] <PreZGN> anyway - about 2.6.21?
[10:23] <mc44> sam_home: what is the filtering system?
[10:23] <omegacenti> ... did it work?
[10:23] <omegacenti> !pastebin
[10:23] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:23] <mc44> PreZGN: it won't be
[10:23] <sam_home> dans guardian
[10:23] <leperkhan1> Hmm... VNC + TV out to TV in....  That might be exactly the ticket!
[10:23] <sam_home> but they wrote a script, which is fine, but now i want to unlock my firefox proxy
[10:24] <PreZGN> ugh. Great.  I need a driver introduced in 2.6.21 and I'd prefer not to have to hack up my own kernel :(
[10:24] <sam_home> not really a filtering issue at all
[10:24] <godzirra> Heya guys.  I'm running feisty adn I've enabled universe and multiverse in my sources.list, but I still can't find the wine package after updating...
[10:24] <piratenin> I am following a tutorial telling me to run winetools in terminal, how do you run things in terminal?
[10:24] <mc44> PreZGN: then wait for gutsy :)
[10:24] <xand_> hi, how can i access my system tray via keyboard?
[10:24] <PreZGN> or more correctly, i'd prefer not to have to go through the pain with regards to the restricted drivers
[10:24] <albertmk> !pastebin
[10:24] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:24] <omegacenti> Jowi: Now even though this isnt right, its what works enough to get me to see 1024x768, but thats it nothing more. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24630/
[10:24] <Jowi> omegacenti, I understand. wait
[10:24] <leperkhan1> godzirra: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html
[10:24] <GigaClon> does anyone know about azureus core dumping on feisty?
[10:24] <PreZGN> mc44: I'm not waiting 4 months to be able to use my broadband access card under linux - especially when the patch is almost trivial.
[10:25] <PreZGN> I DID compile my own 2.6.20 with the patch, but the restricted drivers made upgrading nigh on impossible
[10:25] <PreZGN> they just don't compile like the instructions I found online said.
[10:25] <jebuskrist> leperkhan1, if possible i'd just dual boot :D
[10:25] <PreZGN> unless I wanted to go hacking the system and fooling ubuntu into thinking my kernel was an official release
[10:25] <mc44> PreZGN: well, feisty isn't going to get a new kernel. So there aren't that many options
[10:25] <leperkhan1> Meh.    And I really hate rebooting into Windows.
[10:26] <jebuskrist> heh i know the feeling
[10:26] <leperkhan1> I'd rather have instant on via my VNC tv in idea.
[10:26] <aricz> what was the command to check how much diskspace is left? console
[10:26] <jebuskrist> hmm..
[10:26] <Pirate_Hunter> how can I open files that are .package - I'm trying to update amsn
[10:26] <leperkhan1> just leave both boxes on all the time.
[10:26] <PreZGN> arcade: df -k
[10:26] <PreZGN> arciz even
[10:26] <jebuskrist> do you have anything against two monitors one keyboard?
[10:26] <sam_home> so should i assume there is no #ubuntu_christian ???
[10:26] <Slart> is there some way to make the normal gnome terminal window not do word-wrap?
[10:26] <aricz> PreZGN : thanks
[10:26] <Jowi> omegacenti, ok, first impression looks good. try a reboot. if you don't get the correct resolution be prepared to pastebin me the output of "sudo 915resolution -l" and any xorg errors you might get.
[10:26] <jebuskrist> sam_home, maybe
[10:26] <leperkhan1> just lack of an exra monitor.. :(
[10:26] <jebuskrist> that might do it..
[10:26] <mc44> sam_home: doesn't appear to be
[10:26] <boxrock>  anyone: when i boot my 7.04, where can i see a log of errors in my /etc/rc2.d invocation? it isn't dmesg or /var/log thx!
[10:26] <leperkhan1> plus, if I had an extra monitor, I'd twin view... :D
[10:27] <sam_home> bugger
[10:27] <jebuskrist> lol good point
[10:27] <PreZGN> arciz: I guess df -h is more friendly, but I always preferred -k
[10:27] <omegacenti> Jowi: so ctrl backspace?
[10:27] <jebuskrist> what about buying a cheap KVM at walmart :D
[10:27] <Jowi> omegacenti, no. reboot
[10:27] <jebuskrist> its something like $25
[10:27] <omegacenti> Jowi: Full reboot coming up.
[10:27] <Jowi> omegacenti, cool
[10:27] <Urodi> Good evening. What would you recommend for a full disk encryption (500gb), dm-crypt or truecrypt?
[10:27] <leperkhan1> does video, too?
[10:27] <leperkhan1> that might be my best bet.
[10:27] <albertmk> *Does anyone one a good software for C++ project development ?
[10:27] <jebuskrist> KVM= Keyboard Video Mouse :)
[10:27] <leperkhan1> and upgrade the vid card in the windows box.
[10:28] <jebuskrist> and i believe it does audio too
[10:28] <leperkhan1> yeah... that might be the ticket.
[10:28] <albertmk> *Does anyone know a good software for c++ project development?
[10:28] <Slart> albertmk: well.. eclipse, anjuta.. might be more around
[10:28] <albertmk> thanks Slart.
[10:28] <PreZGN> Slart: kevelop for KDE users
[10:28] <johnaaronrose> mono is recommended
[10:28] <PreZGN> kdevelop even
[10:28] <PreZGN> or my favourite - vim :)
[10:28] <Slart> hehe
[10:28] <GigaClon> anyone know why azureus core dumps on start?
[10:29] <Pirate_Hunter> Can someone please help me... how can I open files that are .package - I'm trying to update amsn
[10:29] <rolnxyz_> albertmk: vim+ddd
[10:29] <GigaClon> Pirate_Hunter, you need autopackage
[10:29] <Slart> yea.. one of these days I'm going to have to learn it... it's like riding a monocycle.. there are easier, faster ways to get there.. but none as cool =)
[10:29] <leperkhan1> though I kinda like leaving the windows box in the living room hooked up to the projector: http://www.leperkhanz.com/forum/gallery2/d/3121-2/giantscreen.jpg
[10:29] <nitro4ce> which is the best mame emulator? xmame, glmame, sdlmame, advancemame, gxmame?
[10:29] <Fr00glez0r> Is it just me or has breezy fallen off the map?
[10:29] <GigaClon> yeah
[10:29] <jrib> Fr00glez0r: well it's no longer supported
[10:30] <craigbass1976> I see a note on installing Hoary on a Dell Inspiron 1100 that says to type in (at livecd boot) linux pci=noacpi noapic and I found it here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsDell.  I type it in at the end of the line you get when you choose F6 at the boot screen, but it won't work.  Am I typing it wrong, or is that only for a text install, or what.
[10:30] <leperkhan1> You know, for Mario Kart and such.
[10:30] <Fr00glez0r> So how do I upgrade?
[10:30] <mc44> Fr00glez0r: from breezy?
[10:30] <Pirate_Hunter> tank you giga but I can't find a link to actually download it
[10:30] <atknot> hi everyone; I'm trying to get my integrated Intel ICH5 audio to output 6 channel sound..when I play mp3s through totem i'm only getting 2 channels though, even though it's set to 5.1
[10:30] <Fr00glez0r> ya
[10:30] <jrib> !upgrade > Fr00glez0r (see the private message from ubotu)
[10:30] <aricz> mario kart \o/
[10:30] <craigbass1976> Video is seriously borked on this lappy, and I can't figure out why.
[10:30] <Slart> Fr00glez0r: I think the update from breezy was kind of.. well.. not as stable as one would have wished
[10:30] <mc44> Fr00glez0r: via dapper, and edgy :) Save yourself the hassle and do a fresh install
[10:30] <omegacenti> Jowi: still 1024x768.
[10:30] <omegacenti> Jowi: Where is the Xorg log?
[10:31] <null_kuhl> guys i have just installed linuxant driver loader for wlan driver on linux,, everything isfine and after loading my wlan windows drivers i have this msgs  Kernel module ipw3945 overridden by netw39x5. where ipw is the linux driver and netw39x5 is the windows one , how to fix this ? plz helpppp
[10:31] <Jowi> omegacenti, does the resolution show in 915resolution?
[10:31] <omegacenti> Jowi: one second
[10:31] <null_kuhl> any ideA ?
[10:31] <Jowi> /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:31] <omegacenti> Jowi: Mode 58 : 1280x768, 24 bits/pixel
[10:32] <realcr> is it possible to make the ubuntu taskbar wider [so it can have two lines of windows instead of one?]
[10:32] <hydan> brb, in gutsy gribbon :)
[10:32] <Jowi> omegacenti, not 32bit?
[10:32] <craigbass1976> I'm at almost 24 hours on this 9minus 5 for sleep) and will have to put windows back on for the people if I can't get Ubuntu going
[10:32] <omegacenti> Jowi: no. lemme check 915resolution
[10:32] <aricz> null_kuhl : tried to google it?
[10:32] <jrib> realcr: right click -> properties, change the size
[10:32] <null_kuhl> yes and no result
[10:33] <aricz> ohhh.. :\
[10:33] <realcr> it doesn't give another line
[10:33] <null_kuhl> arcz plz help
[10:33] <realcr> it just makes the letters bigger
[10:33] <nanotaboada> could anybody help me troubleshooting audio playback in feisty?
[10:33] <Taime1> i watched a movie last night on my laptop, then when i booted it up, i had no sound.... i have tried EVERYTHING to get sound back.... is there anyone who can help??
[10:33] <jrib> realcr: make it bigger
[10:33] <null_kuhl> any way to unload this module ipw3945
[10:33] <null_kuhl> ?
[10:33] <omegacenti> Jowi: in the 915resolution config file there is a part syaing: bit= 24. Change to 32?
[10:33] <mc44> craigbass1976: you're trying to install hoary...?
[10:33] <jrib> realcr: hint: try >50
[10:33] <aricz> sorry, I can't help you, I'm a newb.. :)
[10:33] <realcr> bigger letters means less space on the taskbar. in windows you can actually make it wider
[10:33] <realcr> thanks , I'll try
[10:33] <realcr> brb
[10:34] <Jowi> omegacenti, let it say "BIT="
[10:34] <omegacenti> Jowi: Yes.
[10:34] <atknot> i'm trying to get 6 channel audio in ubuntu 7.04..
[10:34] <omegacenti> Jowi: so leave the value afterwards blank. will do.
[10:34] <Jowi> omegacenti, or 32. don't think it matters much
[10:34] <craigbass1976> mc44, no, feisty or edgy, can't remember which disc I threw in, but problem is consistent across Dapper, edgy, and feisty
[10:34] <eg_linux> can i change seting in bootloader?
[10:34] <Jowi> omegacenti, leave it blank for now
[10:34] <omegacenti> Jowi: Done.
[10:34] <misfit> didn't work, same deal.
[10:34] <jrib> craigbass1976: the alternate cd had issues as well I take it?
[10:34] <strabes_> test
[10:34] <misfit> fletch, it still froze on me.
[10:34] <Jowi> omegacenti, unfourtunatley another reboot
[10:34] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i remove all the unused options on the bootup screen?
[10:34] <misfit> hey fletch, it still froze on me.
[10:35] <pike_> craigbass1976: id recommend heading over to distrowatch and picking another distro man
[10:35] <omegacenti> Jowi: rebooting
[10:35] <craigbass1976> jrib, I sho' did
