[09:29] <bunson> ;) fair enough techsupport
[09:30] <Csana> where can i find the network manager?i think i found it but it doesnt have the things help says it has.
[09:33] <kulawend> techsupport: I know, and they all want to talk to me.
[09:35] <whuffor> techsupport: Are you doing a server installation? I've never  heard of that question in a desktop installation
[09:36] <whuffor> Oh, you said it was a server install :)
[09:36] <Csana> XD
[09:37] <whuffor> I'm using VirtualBox with my desktop installation. I can recommend it if that is what is being installed
[09:41] <Csana> anybody here experienced with ndiswrapper?
[09:42] <rubydiamond> Csana: what is that
[09:42] <thenetduck> #ubuntu-mythtv
[09:42] <thenetduck> oops
[09:42] <Csana> ?
[09:43] <kulawend> Csana: Yes.

[09:45] <nks_> would anyone know if there's a way to successfully install skype on ubuntu 8.10 64bit ?
[09:45] <Prom_cat> Wanna have some Newyears fun? - join #freenode-newyears-wolf
[09:46] <Csana> wine
[09:46] <Csana> i think
[09:46] <Csana> *WINE
[09:46] <nks_> wine - has 64bit support now?
[09:47] <Csana> i dont kow
[09:47] <Csana> *know
[09:47] <nks_> i know wine has 32bit - but i don't think they have 64bit support as of yet...
[09:47] <Csana> it was the first thing that came to mind
[09:47] <nks_> hahahaha
[09:47] <Csana> you didnt say you were 64 bit did you?
[09:47] <nks_> skype worked perfectly on ubuntu 8.04
[09:47] <kulawend> nks_: I'm pretty sure the 32bit version of WINE works on 64bit ubuntu.
[09:48] <Csana> im a newb so...
[09:48] <nks_> i've tried and it's really doesn't work at all..
[09:48] <kulawend> nks_: I think it just can't run 64bit windows programs.
[09:48] <jan__> hello i have a promlem what i must do to mount diskiette

[09:52] <thenetduck> anyone here know anything about mythubuntu????
[09:52] <thenetduck> or how to set one up?
[09:52] <bazhang> thenetduck, the front end or the back end
[09:52] <Csana> haha
[09:52] <bazhang> http://www.mythbuntu.org thenetduck
[09:52] <bazhang> #ubuntu-mythtv thenetduck
[09:52] <thenetduck> er... I think the back end.... i really don't know what the difference is. I just need my cable to connect to my tv tuner coard
[09:53] <Csana> the front or the bach end of the (net) duck
[09:53] <thenetduck> card*
[09:53] <bazhang> thenetduck, you should do some reading up on it then, not something to explain over irc without good clear questions
[09:53] <thenetduck> ok
[09:54] <ball> What does it mean to be a member of a LoCo team?
[09:54] <bazhang> !loco > ball
[09:55] <bazhang> http://www.linux.org/groups/ also ball
[09:57] <thenetduck> bazhang, ok I think I need help with my front end...... I think... which is getting my card to connect to my cable box
[09:57] <phrostbite> Is there a way to convert all of the .jpg files in a folder to png without having to open each one individually?
[09:57] <thenetduck> I do connect my tvtuner card to my cable box right? not just straight into the wall?
[09:57] <ball> Neither of those really answers the question I had.  Am I free to come and go in teams within LaunchPad, or are there strings attached?
[09:57] <ball> thenetduck: depends
[09:57] <bazhang> thenetduck, mythtv has very extensive documentation; you should look up your card and read some of the faq's and setup guides and then ask questions if you run into a hitch
[09:58] <ball> thenetduck: where do you live?
[09:58] <thenetduck>  ball utah
[09:58] <thenetduck> ball usa
[09:58] <ball> Do you have digital or analogue cable?
[09:58] <thenetduck> hum... I don't know. How can I find this out?
[09:59] <Flannel> ball: you're more or less free to come and go.  Some teams have some prerequisites to joining, but you're welcome to leave whenever.
[09:59] <miranda_psi> phrostbite: try looking at imagemagick
[09:59] <ball> Do you have an on-screen prgram guide?
[09:59] <ball> Flannel: thanks, I'll have a poke around then.
[09:59] <thenetduck> ball ya...
[09:59] <phrostbite> I think I have that. But I forget how to use it. I had the same question a month ago but i forget how i did it :(
[09:59] <thenetduck> ball it's on screen with "on demand" etc
[09:59] <Flannel> ball: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList will let you know where to find stuff
[10:00] <thenetduck>  ball and on our box it says "interactive digital communications" so digital?
[10:00] <ball> thenetduck: yeah, you'll want to plug your video capture card into your set-top box then
[10:00] <ball> Use S-Video or Composite though, not RF
[10:00] <phrostbite> It had something to do with the terminal and some sudo code or something
[10:01] <thenetduck> ball is RF the cable cord?
[10:01] <ball> "cable cord" is ambiguous.
[10:01] <ball> ...do you mean coax?
[10:01] <bingungaja> anyone can help me how to backup my nokia phonebook to ubuntu ? been googling for hours and can't find the answers
[10:01] <evowill_> phrostbite: with imagemagick installed 'convert input.jpg output.png'
[10:01] <thenetduck> er... ball the kind of cord theat comes out of the wall in a standard house
[10:02] <ball> thenetduck: yeah, don't use that.
[10:02] <ball> that's bad.
[10:02] <phrostbite> where would i go to put that in? because imagemagick does not have a thing that i can like open.
[10:02] <thenetduck> ok... composite good .... S-vido better
[10:02] <ball> yes.
[10:03] <ball> In ascending order of goodness: composite -> S-Video -> RGB -> HDMI
[10:04] <thenetduck> ball is it possible with the cable cord "RF" i believe
[10:04] <miranda_psi> phrostbite: it is a commandline tool - if you want to do a lot of files at once you can just make a simple script to do that for you (basic command is convert input.jpg output.png)
[10:04] <evowill_> Applications>Accessories>Terminal
[10:04] <lain_wired> hullo
[10:04] <ball> I guess RGB is some other component thing in the U.S.
[10:04] <ball> thenetduck: don't use the RF cable, that's just stupid.
[10:06] <thenetduck> ball ... ok. so my tvtuner card has 1 component cable (not sure why only one but oh well), 1 s-video, and 2 RF cables. I don't think I can use component because there are enough spaces
[10:06] <ball> thenetduck: you probably have component from your cable box to your tv
[10:07] <thenetduck> ball yes I can do that
[10:07] <thenetduck> oh... ok
[10:07] <ball> thenetduck: so use your s-video (and an audio cable) from your cable box to your video capture card
[10:07] <phrostbite> I found the command I need to put into the terminal but I do not know hot to use the terminal to get to the folder where the pictures are.
[10:07] <ball> *UNLESS*
[10:07] <evowill_> phrostbite: cd dir_with_pictures/
[10:07] <PolitikerNEU> Hello everyone, does anybody know if there is a program for ubuntu/kubuntu to manually add subtitles (by writing text and giving a specific begin/end-time) to an .avi/.mpeg or so file?
[10:07] <thenetduck> ball and then component from my box to my tv?
[10:07] <ball> thenetduck: does your TV have an HDMI input?
[10:07] <phrostbite> ok thanks.
[10:07] <evowill_> then mogrify -format png *.jpg
[10:07] <thenetduck> no... I wish
[10:07] <evowill_> that will take care of all of them
[10:07] <PolitikerNEU> Could be a seperate file too as long as e. g. vlc can read it
[10:08] <ball> Okay, so do component (five leads) from the cable box to your TV and S-Video (three) from your cable box to your video capture card.
[10:08] <speedy> #cc2
[10:09] <thenetduck> ball ok that sounds perfect ... great Thanks for all the really good help
[10:09] <ball> thenetduck: no problem.  It's a pain in the U.S. because all the wires are separate
[10:09] <ball> Europe has a single connector for video, audio, everything
[10:10] <thenetduck> man thats the life!
[10:10]  * ball nods
[10:10] <kulawend> ball: what's the connector called?
[10:10] <ball> The U.S. won't use it because nih.

[10:11] <ball> Bert_2: dd again, the other way
[10:12] <Bert_2> ball: okey ball, thx, and you're sure dd is safe to use for backups of 250GB partitions ?
[10:12] <ball> I don't know Linux, so I'm the wrong person to ask.
[10:12] <Bert_2> speedy: you can put it off in the System menu in the optuions of the login screen
[10:12] <ball> ...but the dd I'm used to is safe for partitions of basically unlimited size

[10:31] <MikeW> I'm trying to install mono on ubuntu server intrepid. apt-get install mono tells me "package mono is not available" - any tips guys?
[10:32] <jussi01> MikeW: try apt-cache search mono ;)
[10:33] <yubuntu> !info mono
[10:33] <yubuntu> what is mono?
[10:33] <jussi01> MikeW: Im guessing its libmono or such
[10:33] <outlaw1> http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2b10e7b7
[10:33] <outlaw1> miranda_psi:  http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2b10e7b7
[10:34] <evowill_> yubuntu: a google search will do you well
[10:34] <outlaw1> miranda_psi:  now when i run script from terminal it works fine and only starts once . but from "crontab" it starts twice so i'm thinking it might be something with crontab.
[10:35] <phrostbite> Alright I downloaded image magick and i get to my pictures folder and when i put in mogrify -format png *.jpg like the help site says i get an error saying mogrify: unable to open image '*.jpg': no such file or directory

[10:37] <jussi01> MikeW: no, usually the stable stuff.
[10:37] <evowill_> milos_: though I have only used it for MP3s, it fingerprints the audio and then compares it to their database
[10:38] <milos_> evowill_, thnx i'll try it
[10:38] <miranda_psi> outlaw1: the script looks fine - do you have the script listed twice in crontab?

[10:40] <bazhang> yubuntu, fai-quickstart
[10:40] <outlaw1> miranda_psi: maybe I didnt delete properly or something. did everything from terminal
[10:40] <yubuntu> bazhang: thanks

[10:42] <speey_afk> I am looking for a backup software to backup my pc to usb-drive regularly and automatically is bacula a good choice to do this
[10:42] <speey_afk> ?
[10:42] <phrostbite> Can anybody explain why the mogrify command is not working. I am in the terminal in a folder with jpg pictures and i try mogrify -format png *.jpg and it worked on a different folder but won't work on this one.
[10:42] <outlaw1> miranda_psi: no, I only have 1 in there now and that's for a backup script which seems to work fine. but at first i was trying to run both. but only backup in there now
[10:43] <outlaw1> miranda_psi: could there be another instance of it somewhere in another file that I'm not aware of ?
[10:44] <miranda_psi> outlaw1: try deleting it from the crontab and see if it still gets run...
[10:45] <timri> speey_afk: Personally, I use rdiff-backup and I like it. Bacula seems a bit too much for one PC.
[10:45] <papaya> Hello, how can i check of $var1 != $var2 in bash scripting?
[10:46] <outlaw1> miranda_psi: if i delete from crontab though it wouldnt be able to start would it ? I mean without me running script from terminal and I know that will start fine. I'm confused . sorry
[10:46] <dfa-paris> hello all
[10:47] <dfa-paris> anyone using emacs?
[10:47] <speey_afk> thank you timri for your answer. that was my impression too but I  browsed the packages and bacula was the first program i saw. Now I will look at rdiff-bckup
[10:47] <miranda_psi> outlaw1: i'm just trying to see if it will still run after you delete the instance you know of (thus meaning it is listed to run somewhere else)
[10:48] <outlaw1> miranda_psi: so should i delete crontab and see if it runs from terminal ? what confuses me is that if i delete then it wont be scheduled to start so therefore it wont ?
[10:48] <T3hWiz0rd> is it possible for a bad file to cause this error? User Rating:

[10:49] <miranda_psi> outlaw1: since its running twice it might be that its listed twice - i'm just trying to see if thats the case or if its some other problem...

 That could be a bad cable
 If you are using the ports on the front of the computer, try using the ones directly on the motherboard(if available)
[10:52] <Mageiriki-me-bas> AXXXXXXXXXX
[10:52] <Mageiriki-me-bas> OPS, WRONG CHAN
[10:53] <miranda_psi> RaverWild: what happens when you try sudo rm -rf ?
[10:53] <john> hallo
[10:53] <john> @ all
[10:53] <T3hWiz0rd> is it possible for bad files to cause something like the following error? usb 3-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
[10:53] <T3hWiz0rd> I only get it when running one particular file
[10:53] <RaverWild> miranda_psi, nothing at all. no err msg no anything. then ls -la shows it still there. this still happens after machine reboot
[10:54] <outlaw1> miranda_psi: tried that and does nothing. I can still run from terminal naturally. I have even deleted backup ".sh~" file and searched filesystem and cant find any other files.
[10:54] <outlaw1> miranda_psi: my crontab is simple 30 04 * * * /bin/radio.sh > /home/user/vlc.log 2>&1
[10:55] <RaverWild> miranda_psi, take a look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/97526/
 Try another file of about the same size on the device
[10:55] <T3hWiz0rd> evowill_: i have, works fine. funny part is running HD video formats don't cause it, just a rip of a movie.
 Also if you are using the front USB ports, try the ones directly on the motherboard
[10:55] <T3hWiz0rd> evowill_: its going direct
[10:56] <T3hWiz0rd> evowill_: i have another video running on the device right now
[10:56] <pikario> hi, videos i play in totem or vlc or mplayer are really bleached for me.. why do you think tis is..?
[10:56] <miranda_psi> RaverWild: try sudo rm -rfiv (might give more information and should prompt for deletions...)
 then I assume that it is possible, though strange, but if it only happens on that file, and none others, even of the same, greater size.  It is probably just that file
[10:57] <T3hWiz0rd> evowill_: yeah, it seems specific to that file. especially if you fast forward, it appears almost as if the file may be broken and causing the HDD to over-seek on it
[10:57] <T3hWiz0rd> evowill_: i have another file of equal size running right now and its yet to mishap, while the file in question causes the reset near imediately
[10:58] <RaverWild> miranda_psi, tried - says "cannot remove blah...  I'm moving script to /usr/local/bin/ and deleted script from location it was in. not sure if it will change anything but worth a try i guess
[11:01] <miranda_psi> outlaw1: if that doesn't work I don't know what to try next, but good luck :)
[11:01] <outlaw1> miranda_psi:  I do appreciate your time. thank you

 its an alternative protocol for msn in pidgin
[11:16] <kelvin911> ?
 its in 8.10 repos
[11:17] <kelvin911> the problem of amsn is that the picture problem
[11:17] <kelvin911> if u log out and sign in with diff account, the 2nd account will use the picture u have in the previous login account
 or in case you dont like pidgin, use emesene
[11:17] <kelvin911> which sucks
[11:17] <GodfatherofEire> Could I get a little help with xbindkeys? trying to set it to that a mouse button executes alt tab, and another execs alt shift tab?
[11:17] <kelvin911> so i dont like amsn much
[11:18] <kelvin911> plug the gui of amsn is so much like msn that i hate
[11:18] <kelvin911> whats emesene?
 a very neat and nice to use msn messenger
[11:19] <[Spooky]> xd4: Hoe do i activate msn-pecan?
 gtk based ofcourse
 what ubuntu are you using?
[11:20] <[Spooky]> xd4: 8.10
[11:20] <[Spooky]> With Gnome...
[11:20] <xd4> sudo apt-get install msn-pecan
[11:20] <kelvin911> can emesene use the cute icon?
[11:20] <xd4> then go to pidgin, accounts, close the msn account, choose new account under WLM and fill in your msn details
[11:21] <[Spooky]> xd4: Thanks for the help.
 no prob
[11:21] <kelvin911> whats msn-pecan?
[11:21] <kelvin911> is it better than the default in pidgin?
 : i dont know what you mean by that, but i gaurntee you its the best msn for gnome
[11:22] <cyphase> is there a way i can copy/move files to a hard drive at a set speed?
 you can read about msn pecan in ubuntuforums, the developer is an ex deve from pidgin
[11:22] <kelvin911> can u open more than 1 account with it?
[11:23] <kelvin911> like pidgin i can open 5 accounts
[11:23] <kelvin911> at the same time
 you wont feel any difference in the interface, but it has some new properties
[11:23] <omkar> hello guys canany one tell me if Ubuntu 8.10 runs on Slave hdd or no?
[11:23] <kelvin911> msn-pecan is the same as pidgin?
[11:23] <kelvin911> can u connect gmail messenger too?
[11:24] <kelvin911> or yahoo messenger account?
 msn-pecan is a plugin for pidgin, you can still use yahoo and gmail
[11:24] <kelvin911> ok
[11:24] <kelvin911> apt-get install msn-pecan?
 it just replaces the msn buggy plugin that already exists in pidgin with an improved one
 if you're on 8.10 ibex, just sudo apt-get install msn-pecan
[11:25] <kelvin911> can u send custom icon with it?
[11:25] <kelvin911> i am not on 8.10
[11:25] <kelvin911> i am on 8.04
[11:25] <[Spooky]> xd4: Same problem :/
[11:25] <omkar> ?
[11:26] <kelvin911> [Spooky]: did u try restart pidgin?
[11:26] <omkar> can ubuntu 8.10 be installed on slave hdd?
[11:26] <[Spooky]> kelvin911: Yes...
[11:26] <xd4> go here, and read all what it can do http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/
[11:26] <[Spooky]> Im gonna try Amsn...
[11:27] <xd4>  <[Spooky]>  <kelvin911> : you can download it from here, http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/
[11:27] <GodfatherofEire> so yeah, could I get a little help with xbindkeys so that it does use an actual alt tab instead of a text-based tab? For the moment, Instead of window switching I get just an ordinary tab, so I could use a bit of a nudge to just help me finish up with my mouse here.
[11:28] <xd4>  <[Spooky]>  <kelvin911> : i encourage you both to try emesene first, amsn is kinda messy
[11:28] <[Spooky]> xd4: I have it allready... But i cant send urls...
[11:28] <napster> Hi
[11:28] <[Spooky]> xd4: Ok..
[11:28] <kelvin911> i know amsn is messy
[11:29] <xd4> http://www.emesene.org/
[11:29] <napster> is there any kind of application for open an ISO dvd file without righting on DVD ROM?
[11:30] <GodfatherofEire> napster, what exactly do you mean?
[11:30] <napster> Opppsss writing
[11:30] <cyphase> Does anyone know if there's a way I can copy or move files to a hard drive at a set speed?
[11:30] <kelvin911> sudo apt-get install msn-pecan stuck
[11:30] <kelvin911> 0% [Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[11:30] <kelvin911> what to do?
[11:31] <napster> I've downloaded an ISO DVD file via torrent, now just want to check it
[11:31] <kelvin911> wait
[11:31] <kelvin911> it is moving
[11:31] <ayeayre> Hi, I was just wondering, I wanted to use Ubuntu with my windows XP pc by using a virtualization program, my version of windows xp is 32bit, my AMD Opteron 170 supports 64bit os's, will the 64bit version of Ubuntu work with this setup? Thanks
[11:31] <kelvin911> done
[11:31] <kelvin911> so now what?
[11:31] <napster> how i can mount it?
[11:31] <FloodBot2> kelvin911: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
 maybe the ubuntu server is busy, wait and if it fails just try that later
[11:31] <GodfatherofEire> napster hold on one sec
[11:31] <GodfatherofEire> !iso
[11:31] <GodfatherofEire> napster See above
[11:31] <birkoff> !eeepc
[11:32] <napster> Thanks Dude
[11:32] <GodfatherofEire> Welcomr
[11:32] <GodfatherofEire> *welcome
[11:32] <kelvin911> xd4: choose WLM?
[11:32] <white-sheep> !hardware | ayeayre
[11:32] <white-sheep> ayeayre, Try that.
[11:32] <ayeayre> cheers
 yes
 but make sure you stop the MSN account first
[11:34] <kelvin911> what do u mean?
 dont create a new account in WLM while you are already logged in with your MSN account
[11:35] <[Dim__]> kelvin911, hu are you?
[11:35] <csc_> hello
[11:35] <white-sheep> Apparently Pepsi changed its logo on new years eve -- to keep it fresh.  www.pepsi.com
[11:36] <csc_> is there anyone with an (almost) fresh installation of ubuntu? if yes, could you please tell me whether /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd.img (they should be symbolic links) exist in your /boot directory?
[11:37] <lsolesen> Trying to access a Canon 5D camera from Ubuntu. I can see that some of the memory card has been used (there are pictures on the memory card), but it cannot see the actual pictures when accessing the card from the filemanager.
[11:37] <kelvin911> xd4: whats the diff?
[11:37] <kelvin911> xd4: diff between WLM or MSN ?
[11:37] <kelvin911> [Dim__]: hi
[11:37] <white-sheep> csc_, There should be symbolic links to the latest... (said linkage).
[11:37] <kelvin911> [Dim__]: do i know u?
[11:37] <[Dim__]> ËÔÏ-ÎÉÂÕÄØ ÐÏ ÒÕÓÓËÉ ÇÏ×ÏÒÉÔ?
 WLM is the msn-pecan protocol, it gives more features, such the ability to read/write custom messages, it also worked for me when the MSN protocol kept on discconecting
[11:39] <csc_> white-sheep, i do not have anymore after some "workarounds"  (i do not have any probs in booting). but i do need to know whether they were there by default. do you have them?
[11:39] <kelvin911> more feature like?
 you can view the date they were created, in thunar or nautilus, if same day as the installation , they they are there by default
 list of features here http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/
[11:40] <kelvin911> the WLM has less icons
[11:40] <csc_> xd4, what do you mean "i can see the date they were created" if do not have them anymore?
[11:40] <kelvin911> :(
[11:40] <[Spooky]> Is emesene buggy? It only shows up one online at my list...
[11:40] <white-sheep> csc_, Well -- It's not latest Ubuntu installation if that's what you're looking for, but in my personal experiences, I always have been known for them to link to its latest vmlinuz + initrd.img and I'm looking at the list.  Yes.  There are symbolic links.   To keep things easier, linux just link to the latest files.
[11:40] <KoolD> can anyone help me out?????i just installed the nvidia drivers and i get a "cannot load nvidia kernel module".......please someone help me!!!!
 misunderstood you then , thought that ther are still there
[11:41] <kelvin911> xd4: all those features are already in the original pidgin
 works fine here, no problems at all
[11:41] <csc_> white-sheep, ok.. i must be sure though.. i do not like the idea of creating symbolic links when they were not there by default
 compared to pidgin MSN,     * Faster log-in
[11:42] <xd4>     * Fewer connection issues
[11:42] <xd4>     * Fewer crashes
[11:42] <xd4>     * Experimental direct connection support (fast file transfers)
[11:42] <xd4>     * Server-side storage for display names (private alias)
[11:42] <FloodBot2> xd4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:42] <xd4>     * Support for handwritten messages (read-only)
[11:42] <kelvin911> faster login?
 thats what it says
[11:43] <kelvin911> it was already lightning fast
[11:43] <damo22> what is the current kernel revision in 8.10?
[11:43] <kelvin911> ??
[11:43] <coreyu> undefined video mode number : 315
 then i really cant help you there if you're satisfied, maybe trying emesene is a goo dchoice
[11:44] <kelvin911> its alright
[11:44] <kelvin911> i dont use msn that often
[11:44] <kelvin911> skype is more superior
[11:44] <KoolD> can anyone help me out?????i just installed the nvidia drivers and i get a "cannot load nvidia kernel module".......please someone help me!!!!
[11:44] <coreyu> what's wrong with my ubuntu "undefined video mode number : 315"
[11:44] <kelvin911> xd4: thx for help
 no prob, anytime
[11:45] <buituan2801> hi
[11:45] <kelvin911> xd4: jsut read emesene, it has LaTeX support ??
[11:45] <kelvin911> really?
[11:45] <damo22> is the current kernel 2.6.27 in ubuntu 8.10?
[11:46] <rww> damo22: yes
 i dont use LaTeX really
[11:46] <rww> coreyu: Do you get that right at the beginning of startup?
[11:46] <damo22> rww: when will 2.6.28 be out
[11:46] <GodfatherofEire1> so yeah, could I get a little help with xbindkeys so that it does use an actual alt tab instead of a text-based tab? For the moment, Instead of window switching I get just an ordinary tab, so I could use a bit of a nudge to just help me finish up with my mouse here.
[11:46] <kelvin911> it will be nice to have latex support
[11:46] <kelvin911> xd4: do u have emesene now?
 yes
[11:47] <damo22> rww: im thinking of buying a G45 mobo and i need support for the new intel gpu
[11:47] <kelvin911> wanna test the latex feature with me?
[11:47] <damo22> rww: ive been told it needs 2.6.28
[11:47] <Kinetic> GodfatherofEire1: Werent you working on this 5+ hours ago?  Like I said, I could very easily be wrong on that.
[11:48] <rww> !msg > coreyu
[11:48] <kelvin911> it doesnt have it by default?
[11:48] <damo22> rww: right ok, i guess i'll just roll my own kernel
 no, i think its a plugin had to be enabled
[11:49] <[Spooky]> xd4: Hm some Windows msn users see me as offline... Maybe a msn-net bug?
[11:49] <rww> coreyu: Okay. Did you modify your GRUB configuration at some point and add vga=315?
[11:49] <white-sheep> !eeepc
 i am really not usre, but i am chatting right now on emesene
[11:50] <xd4> !emesene
[11:51] <rww> coreyu: Because that message means that the kernel was passed the "vga=315" option, and that it doesn't recognize 315 as a valid graphics mode. Probably the easiest way to fix it is to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, find all the places in there where vga=315 appears, and edit them to use a correct video mode or delete them.
[11:51] <white-sheep> I'm considering to obtain the item in question ( http://moourl.com/58m47 ) Is there a guideline / link for installing Ubuntu on it?  Or should I be using MID edition?  Please advise with all your love in it.  Thanks. :o
[11:51] <yubuntu> Guys, how to know my hardware devices on ubuntu (GUI)?
[11:51] <rww> ... *sigh* and apparently coreyu left and I didn't notice. I really need to turn join/part notifications back on *facepalm*
[11:52] <mayank> how i play windows games in ubunut
[11:52] <mayank> how i play windows games in ubuntu
[11:52] <rww> yubuntu: !wine > mayank
[11:52] <rww> yubuntu: sorry, ignore that...
[11:52] <rww> !wine > mayank
[11:53] <mayank> i know wine...but when i play age of empires..it runs very slow
[11:53] <Kinetic> !wine
[11:53] <white-sheep> mayank, You can install Windows using VirtualBox.  Play it from there. I suppose.  Or Dual-boot.
[11:53] <rww> mayank: From the !wine factoid: "Join #winehq for application help."
[11:53] <SlimeyPete> erm, games rarely work in VirtualBox
[11:54] <mayank> i have installed ubuntu...now how can i install windows xp(dual boot)?
[11:54] <SlimeyPete> most games don't like emulated graphics cards :D
[11:54] <white-sheep> mayank, See SlimeyPete.  Use Dual-Boot -- http://moourl.com/58m47
[11:54] <white-sheep> err... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
 its going to be a mess, its always better to install xp then ubuntu
[11:55] <rww> yubuntu: I'm trying to find a package I used for that a while ago. Gimmie a sec.
[11:55] <mayank> you mean install inside(wubi)?
[11:55] <yubuntu> rww: Thanks
[11:56] <[Spooky]> xd4: Same problem in emesene cant send urls...
[11:56] <white-sheep> mayank -- You installed Ubuntu just to play around with?  If so, consider sticking with Wubi.
 there's a tinyurl plugin in the plugins menu, why dont you try it?
[11:57] <rww> yubuntu: lshw-gtk has a comprehensive list of system info. There's another one that's a little less quirky and more user-friendly, but I can't for the life of me find it right now.
[11:57] <kelvin911> [Spooky]: wanna test it out with me?
[11:57] <rww> !info lshw-gtk | yubuntu
[11:57] <kelvin911> [Spooky]: sometimes u can send link to certain people
 enable it then type /tiny <url>
[11:57] <kelvin911> [Spooky]: but some people u cant send link to
[11:58] <mayank> white-sheep, ubuntu is very good for playing movies, mp3..but also wanna play some games like age of empires 2
[11:58] <mayank> but why it runs very slow?
[11:58] <SlimeyPete> because WINE is not perfect
[11:58] <KoolD> how do i change my screen resolutions to more than 800*600....its not available in system->pref->screen resolution
[11:59] <SlimeyPete> it doesn't run all games well
[11:59] <SlimeyPete> because it doesn't completely implement every Windows API
[11:59] <kelvin911> xd4: The command tiny doesn't exist
[12:00] <yubuntu> rww: Thanks... Installing...
 did you enable the tinyurl plugin?
[12:00] <[Spooky]> xd4: /tiny works, thanks...
[12:00] <KoolD> how do i change my screen resolutions to more than 800*600....its not available in system->pref->screen resolution
[12:01] <kelvin911> redirection?
[12:01] <kelvin911> xd4: thats suck
[12:01] <kelvin911> xd4: because the other side will think i am sending him a porn link
[12:01] <[Spooky]> mayank: What hardware do you have?
[12:01] <KoolD> how do i change my screen resolutions to more than 800*600....its not available in system->pref->screen resolution
 well its between you and the other side
[12:01] <PolitikerNEU> I think you need to install your graphics driver
[12:02] <ayeayre> is WINE like Win4Lin? if so, which one is better?
[12:02] <mayank> pentium-4, 2.4mhz, 770mb of ram, nvidia fx5500 256mb
[12:02] <ionutz> how can i use curlftpfs to use socks5? ...can someone give me an example ?
[12:02] <kelvin911> fx5500 is too weak
[12:02] <SlimeyPete> ayeayre: Win4Lin is a sort of virtualisation product. In theory, WINE is better.
[12:02] <PolitikerNEU> win4lin seems to be virtualisation while wine is a win32 subsystem - so no, one is not like the other
[12:02] <dcider> mayank: any problems with your drivers?
[12:02] <kelvin911> for decent graphic intensive games
[12:03] <mayank> not at all.just problem with aoe2(too slow)
[12:03] <kelvin911> is it slow in windows too with same hardware?
[12:04] <[Spooky]> mayank: How do you start it?
[12:04] <kelvin911> i can play doom3 really fast in ubuntu here, same speed in windows
[12:05] <chilli0> hello all
[12:05] <mayank> from places-home folder-games-aoe2-empire2.exe..
[12:05] <sriyono> hallo too
[12:06] <chilli0> does anyone here run there ubuntu on a ideapad y530
[12:07] <SlimeyPete> mayank: did you check the entry in the WINE HQ Appdb? There may be instructions on how to make it run faster.
[12:07] <SlimeyPete> !appdb
[12:07] <ionutz> how can i use curlftpfs to use socks5? ...can someone give me an example ?
[12:08] <empiric> guys any one works on alfresco DMS

[12:18] <elkbuntu> HUMM2, that is not constructive.
[12:18] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: the easiest solution is to buy a wireless-N or wireless-G network card
[12:18] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, i just spen 70$ on this thing...

[12:21] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10025643&catid=21115&logon=&langid=EN
[12:21] <kelvin911> about $45
[12:21] <jimi_hendrix> ...
[12:22] <jimi_hendrix> i dont want to buy something new
[12:22] <mayank> in windows xp it was just very good, but in ubuntu its sucks...why?
[12:22] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: usb one are crap anyway
[12:22] <mayank> any reason?
[12:22] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: why do u want the usb one?
[12:22] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: they dont have strong signal and easy to break
[12:22] <_aer_are> when will kernel 2.6.28 be avaiable through synaptics?
[12:22] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, cause i already bought it and now i dont want to have wasted 70 bucks
[12:23] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: refund it
[12:23] <mayank> [spooky] one of my friend has pentium-3 and games rocks
[12:23] <white-sheep> mayank -- Linux is *NOT* a gaming platform.
[12:23] <mayank> yeah...
[12:23] <kelvin911> white-sheep: i think the problem is the game isnt for linux
[12:24] <mayank> but is there any good games in ubuntu(linux)
[12:24] <mayank> ?
[12:24] <kelvin911> white-sheep: linux can be a good gaming platform
[12:24] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, this one also gets me 4 bars in my basement...and my parents are going to be like "were not driving you all the way out to best buy just so linux has internet"...
[12:24] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: parent?
[12:24] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: how old r u? 13?
[12:24] <white-sheep> kelvin911 -- Depends on the outcome of the situation -- If the games were made for Linux, then it's for Linux.  Otherwise, most of the games were targeted at Windows platform. :o
[12:25] <user___> _aer_are: which ubuntu version are you using?
[12:25] <_aer_are> 8.10
[12:25] <mayank> Is there any good games in ubuntu (linux)?
[12:25] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, no comment but i setup linux on my own without breaking anything...so back to the problem at hand
[12:25] <jimi_hendrix> mayank, nexuiz
[12:25] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: no one will buy the usb one so  i think no one care about the usb for linux
[12:25] <SlimeyPete> mayank: anything by id software will have a linux client available, as does NeverWinter Nights
[12:25] <mayank> where to download this game, jimi_hendrix
[12:26] <VR6> GTA San Andreas
[12:26] <VR6> glest
[12:26] <jimi_hendrix> mayank, sudo apt-get install nexuiz
[12:26] <mrwes> jimi_hendrix: what kind of card is it?
[12:26] <_aer_are> user___, 8.19
[12:26] <shredder12> clear
[12:26] <nicklas_> hello, if i wanna remove gnome and change to enlightenment instead, how do i do that? and what happens when i do that, do the programs change and so on? what happens exactly? im using eeebuntu, it should work as regular ubuntu in that way right?
[12:26] <VR6> settlers IV
[12:26] <user___> _aer_are: educated guess: at the time when jaunty will be available so you could upgrade then
[12:26] <kelvin911> nexuiz sucks

[12:27] <mayank> all in apt-get ....
[12:27] <[Spooky]> mayank: Ok, well i just play WoW... Does your friend have a better graphic card?
[12:27] <eth01> _aer_are: good?
[12:27] <jimi_hendrix> mrwes, dynex N USB Adapter
[12:27] <mayank> no
[12:27] <user___> _aer_are: they are mostly sec related updates within the same kernel line, so not 2.6.28 yet
[12:27] <[Spooky]> mayank: Then i dunno what i can be...
[12:28] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: did u try dynex site ?
[12:28] <mayank> ok

[12:28] <shredder12> hey people, last time i updated to intrepid my wired connection interface vanished... but this time when i ran intrepid through the live cd i found now it was able to detect the wired connection.. so does that mean if i install intrepid from the cd my  ethernet interface won't disappear

[12:28] <_aer_are> user___, updating to 9.04 now, perhaps i can get the benefits of the 2.6.28 from there
[12:29] <mrwes> jimi_hendrix: and  you've been here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[12:29] <user___> _aer_are: oh, you might think twice before..
[12:29] <_aer_are> user___, they say my intel 82855 graphic card will work very good with this kernel due to a gem technology
[12:29] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, im trying the site now
[12:29] <eth01> mrwes: ndiswrapper is not commendable
[12:29] <mrwes> what?
[12:29] <jimi_hendrix> mrwes, ill try that site someone pointed me to a different similar one
[12:30] <eth01> nrwes: it's crap, basically
[12:30] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: what is the model number?
[12:30] <mrwes> eth01: and if one does't have any additional options?
[12:30] <mrwes> or money to buy a new card
[12:30] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: http://www.dynexproducts.com/pc-736-4-dynex-wireless-n-usb-20-adapter.aspx is this the one?
[12:30] <eth01> mrwes: ndiswrapper is not the only way forward
[12:30] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, ya
[12:30] <mrwes> eth01: well chime in then :)
[12:30] <jimi_hendrix> exactly
[12:31] <sunface> hi..! i have a problem in ubuntu 8.10 .. can anyone help me please...?
[12:31] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, have you been able to read minds since birth or did you develop that power over time
[12:31] <SlimeyPete> !ask
[12:31] <eth01> look at the link ;-P
[12:31] <cyphase> Does anyone know if there's a way I can copy or move files to a hard drive at a set speed?
[12:31] <eth01> cyphase: sata or ide?
[12:31] <SlimeyPete> sunface: just state your problem. If anyone can help you then they will reply :)
[12:32] <cyphase> eth01: ide
[12:32] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: how hard to search it in google?
[12:32] <cafuego> cyphase: From a different hdd or via a network?
[12:32] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: never heard of this brand dynex b4
[12:32] <cyphase> cafuego: different hdd
[12:32] <sunface> k.. i am not able to connect gprs via bluetooth from mobile.. pairing cant be done.. how to solve this ?
[12:32] <mrwes> eth01: and that thread from 2006 is still relevant ?
[12:32] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: i always get linksys for wireless networking
[12:32] <eth01> mrwes: it holds some relevance, yes
[12:32] <eth01> cyphase: why the set speed? whats the point.
[12:33] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: and usb wireless network is a nono
[12:33] <mrwes> eth01: that's the problem with some of the online docs -- many, many are out dated
[12:33] <mrwes> I'd be concerned following a doc +2 years old
[12:33] <eth01> mrwes: as i'm aware
[12:33] <veloc1ty> moin
[12:33] <cafuego> cyphase: You can make writes slower by turning off DMA mode on the target disk, I guess. There's not really any tools for trasferring ata  set speed; afaik.
[12:33] <mrwes> k
[12:33] <cyphase> eth01: the destination drive has been having a problem where if i read from or write to it to fast, the whole computer starts to freeze up
[12:34] <cyphase> eth01: i'm pretty sure restarting would fix it, but i don't want to restart right now
[12:34] <cafuego> cyphase: That sounds like broken hardware. Not software.
[12:34] <eth01> cyphase: that sounds like dodgey ram
[12:34] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: did u try ndiswrapper ?
[12:34] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin yes
[12:34] <cyphase> cafuego: still, watching a video from the hdd or downloading to it from the net works fine
[12:35] <cyphase> cafuego: indicating slower speeds work fine
[12:35] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6472150#post6472150 <<< tried all that
[12:35] <eth01> cyphase: can you run top?
[12:35] <cyphase> eth01: running
[12:35] <cafuego> cyphase: Yes. Sounds like dodgy hardware. Could be as simple as the pata cable.
[12:35] <eth01> cyphase: whats the proc usage?
[12:36] <eth01> cafuego: it would be a big thick ide cable
[12:36] <cyphase> eth01: around 30%
[12:36] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: if i am u i will just go refund it and get the pci card one
[12:36] <sunface> how to connect net via bluetooth in ubuntu 8.10 thgriugh mobile ?
[12:36] <cyphase> eth01: i'm not copying right now though
[12:36] <cafuego> cyphase: There'll probbaly be messages in the kernel log about lost interrupts.
[12:36] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: the pci one are better anyway
[12:36] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: and easiest to install
[12:36] <eth01> cyphase: so when you copy/transfer stuff - it increases almost instantly to something ridiclous?
[12:36] <eth01> ridiclous, even
[12:36] <cafuego> cyphase: Step one is to check the SMART log on that drive. 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/hdX'
[12:37] <cyphase> eth01: it's so bad i can barely move the mouse
[12:37] <jimi_hendrix> pci = the one i plug open up my machine and throw it in?
[12:37] <mungustas> hello, could someone advise how I could use SOCKS5 (ssh) proxy in shell ? I want to connect to ftp site through socks5 using 'lftp' client
[12:37] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: what do u mean?
[12:37] <eth01> cyphase: it sounds like it's RAM related. the reason you can probably do the most basic of things is because there's a reserve/unflushed amount - which is keeping it going
[12:37] <cafuego> cyphase: If the systemd etects a problem it can lower the speed the drives is accessed at. It does that by swithcing from DMA to PIO mode. PIO mode eats a LOT of cpu.
[12:38] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, im asking you...pci is the card that i would put in the machine...correct?
[12:38] <mrwes> jimi_hendrix: you on a laptop or desktop?
[12:38] <eth01> i wouldn't be surprised if when you rebooted it - it either 1) works perfectly or 2) doesn't work at all.
[12:38] <liber> anyone know where the xkblayout-files are?
[12:38] <jimi_hendrix> mrwes, typing this laptop problem on desktop
[12:38] <cyphase> eth01: yea, i'm pretty sure it'll work fine
[12:39] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: yes pci card
[12:39] <cyphase> cafuego, eth01: so do you know how to copy/move at a set speed?
[12:39] <eth01> cyphase: you could do a memtest, i think you need to *reboot* it really.
[12:39] <cyphase> eth01: i know
[12:39] <mrwes> jimi_hendrix: then installing a PCI wifi card is pretty straight forward and easy
[12:39] <eth01> cyphase: not really, there is a way
[12:39] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: laptop or desktop?
[12:39] <cafuego> cyphase: You need to check if the machine has done that for you already, which might be *exactly* the problem. blktool should tell you.
[12:39] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, what do you mean
[12:39] <sunface> how to connect net via bluetooth modem in ubuntu 8.10 through mobile ?
[12:39] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: the wireless u trying to setup
[12:40] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, desktop
[12:40] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: i assume it is desktop because laptop nowadays have wireless
[12:40] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: then buy wireless netword card
[12:40] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: refund the usb crap
[12:41] <_aer_are> how to update the kernel in ubuntu?
[12:41] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, well while i wait for tomarrow to come so i can refund the usb can we try and get this to work?
[12:41] <cafuego> _aer_are: It'll automatically update via the package manager if there are security fixes.
[12:42] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: why do u want wireless for desktop?
[12:42] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: is the router too far away?
[12:42] <_aer_are> so they don't recommend to update to the latest kernel at www.kernel.org?
[12:42] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin ya pretty much
[12:42] <sunface> please reply me how to connect net via bluetooth modem in ubuntu 8.10 through mobile ?
[12:42] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, desktop = basement router = far away
[12:43] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: ?
[12:43] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, i the desktop is in the basement...the router is upstairs
[12:43] <cafuego> _aer_are: Certainly not if you don't know how to, yiou'll likely end up breaking the system.
[12:44] <Eldron> I'm having problem installing Compiz Fusion...
[12:44] <cafuego> _aer_are: You might want to check fo a kernel HOWTO and see hoiw to configure and build one, just to learn.... but there's no *need* to.
[12:45] <Eldron> I mean I got it installed, but the effects are still not applied and saved. I rebooted too
[12:45] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: is the router very far away?
[12:45] <d0gmaz> hello everyone, i formatted a new HD in gparted as EXT2 but now the drive is not writable because the owner is root how can i change that?
[12:45] <cafuego> Eldron: It comes with Ubuntu, there's no separate install. Just click Preferences > Appearance > Effects
[12:45] <jimi_hendrix> id have to drill through a celling and wall to get it downhere...
[12:45] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911,  ^^^
[12:45] <bastid_raZor> Eldron; what does lsb_release -a tell you?
[12:46] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: so it isnt far
[12:46] <Eldron> Cafuego: Yes, I tried that but it says can't be enabled
[12:46] <cafuego> d0gmaz: chown, change the owner on the mounted directory
[12:46] <Eldron> Wait
[12:46] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: if it is far away get linksys
[12:46] <cafuego> Eldron: ... because ..?
[12:46] <NeoAesScrobis> sudo chown
[12:46] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: they are stronger
[12:47] <Eldron> Hi... It says NO LSB Modules Are Available
[12:47] <ganroe> accidently click "move to trash" on some usb files and can't get them back. tried dragging them from trash to desktop and i just got empty directories. usb key is still showing the same amount of gigs used so are they just hidden somewhere? how do iget them back?
[12:47] <Eldron> Cafuego: I don't know
[12:47]  * cafuego didn't think the LSB had anything to do with the X composite manager
[12:47] <Eldron> Oh
[12:48] <cafuego> ganroe: There's a hidden folder on the USB stick.
[12:48] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, any possible way i can use this linksys card thingie that you slide into your laptop that i have looks like http://www.dynexproducts.com/pc-734-4-dynex-wireless-n-laptop-card.aspx but is lynksis
[12:48] <cafuego> ganroe: .Trash-username
[12:48] <Eldron> What folder?

[12:49] <Eldron> Hm... I'll ask in the forum with more details.
[12:49] <Eldron> Thanks all

[12:52] <Enselic> kelvin911: what in particular?
[12:52] <jimi_hendrix> mrwes, nothing
[12:52] <cafuego> kelvin911: If the manufacturers would sactually publish specs, people could write drivers. Not Linux fault. Manufacturers fault.
[12:53] <kelvin911> cafuego: i think u r right

[12:53] <cafuego> kelvin911: The fact that they change chipsets without changing model numebrs isn't very helpful eithet, though
[12:53] <d0gmaz> NeoAesScrobis: something like this: sudo chown username /media/disk/
[12:54] <kelvin911> cafuego: manufacturers need to start to support linux other than windows

[13:00] <jacobw-uk> user___: ok, thanks
[13:00] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, ok well...hmm tell me what files i would need in /etc/ndiswrapper...

[13:02] <slonik> hello
[13:03] <slonik> I've got a problem with sound in movies
[13:03] <chilli0> does anyone know why ekiga does show my webcam , but easy cam doesnt?
[13:03] <slonik> I have it in Amarok, and sound prefs looks good
[13:03] <Atchoum> what is the commande for delete all Thumbs.db ? locate Thumbs.db >> rm ?
[13:03] <slonik> but I have no sound in any movie player
[13:03] <slonik> any hints?
[13:04] <white-sheep> Anybody having issues with Firefox Web Developer?
[13:04] <lasivian> ok, I have 3 Ubuntu boxes, one 8.04, one 8.10, and one I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, the upgraded one I cannot connect to with a windows VNC program, but I can use that program to connect to the other 2 machines
[13:04] <Atchoum> locate Thumbs.db >> rm ? what is the commande for delete all files with the name Thumbs.db ?
[13:04] <cuulu> If I got an external harddrive with usb connection and ntfs as file system. Can I use it in linux and see movies and listen to mp3s? is it easy? because I need to keep my win xp system aswell because of several programs such as visual studio and a few more.
[13:04] <DIFH-iceroot> !anyone | white-sheep
[13:04] <user___> ja660k: it might well be that the software who is behind the touch buttons is implented in windows only. this would mean you could use it as storage only in ubuntu. the buttons basically would have no function
[13:04] <user___> ja660k: sorry
[13:05] <Atchoum> how delete all Thumbs.db with a commande ?
[13:05] <white-sheep> DIFH-iceroot, What?  You're throwing that at me, not chilli0 ?  Tsk tsk.
[13:05] <Atchoum> locate Thumbs.db >> rm ?
[13:05] <chilli0> white-sheep:  ?
[13:05] <lasivian> I can VNC to the upgraded box from another Ubuntu box, but in windows it says it cannot find a workable encrytion type to use
[13:05] <DIFH-iceroot> white-sheep: correct

[13:05] <hristo> feliz 2009
[13:05] <white-sheep> DIFH-iceroot, You're useless.  That was your first message... in long time.
[13:06] <Atchoum> how delete all Thumbs.db ?
[13:06] <GodfatherofEire> so yeah, could I get a little help with xbindkeys so that it does use an actual alt tab instead of a text-based tab? For the moment, Instead of window switching I get just an ordinary tab, so I could use a bit of a nudge to just help me finish up with my mouse here.
[13:06] <chilli0> does anyone know why ekiga does show my webcam , but easy cam doesnt?
[13:06] <DIFH-iceroot> white-sheep: you have a ubuntu-related question?
[13:06] <lasivian> chilli0: what kind of camera?
[13:06] <Atchoum> what is the commande for delete all Thumbs.db please !
[13:06] <savvas> Atchoum: find /directory/to/search -name "Thumbs.db" -delete
[13:06] <chilli0> its a lenovo easy cam
[13:06] <hristo> hay algun español
[13:06] <savvas> Atchoum: ask your question ONCE
[13:06] <lasivian> chilli0: have you tried Cheese?
[13:06] <savvas> !es | hristo
[13:07] <chilli0> lasivian:  i have cheese and it doesnt work
[13:07] <level1> is there a way to remove all packages except a select few?
[13:07] <lasivian> chilli0: hrrm, I ask because i've had the exact same problem with the camera on my Aspire One
[13:07] <white-sheep> DIFH-iceroot, pretty much.  I tried to install Web developer using two possible solutions -- The one I downloaded from Firefox addons and the one I installed using the package.  Both didn't work out for me too well.  Could be firefox issue, then again, why is there packages for Ubuntu-Firefox.
[13:07] <savvas> level1: have you tried with synaptic?
[13:07] <Atchoum> how delete all Thumbs.db ?
[13:07] <Atchoum> what the commande for ?
[13:07] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, should i have used the vista drivers or the xp drivers?
[13:07] <savvas> Atchoum: I've already told you: find /directory/to/search -name "Thumbs.db" -delete
[13:08] <Atchoum> ok thank you
[13:08] <lasivian> chilli0: is yours a "crystalcam" unit?
[13:08] <chilli0> lasivian:  i just found something odd , i looked at cheese and it says that its using the lenovo easy cam how ever it doesnt show any video
[13:08] <chilli0> lasivian:  not sure
[13:08] <DIFH-iceroot> white-sheep: the addon is for the newest firefox?
[13:09] <level1> savvas: there isn't a select all button
[13:09] <GodfatherofEire> so yeah, could I get a little help with xbindkeys so that it does use an actual alt tab instead of a text-based tab? For the moment, Instead of window switching I get just an ordinary tab, so I could use a bit of a nudge to just help me finish up with my mouse here. I've been tryin to figure it out for the last 2 hours and I've gotten nowhere
[13:09] <kelvin911> jimi_hendrix: i think xp driver
[13:09] <white-sheep> DIFH-iceroot, Ya.  3.0.5 version.
[13:09] <lasivian> chilli0: dmesg should list the details
[13:09] <chilli0> it shows lots of crap
[13:09] <DIFH-iceroot> white-sheep: and "does not work for me" means? error-message?
[13:09] <Atchoum> savvas :  find / -name "Thumbs.db" -delete no fonctionnality
[13:09] <Atchoum> problem
[13:10] <Atchoum> he want delete all
[13:10] <Atchoum> i want delete all the Thumbs.db on my computer
[13:10] <user___> Atchoum: find -name *filename* -type f -print | xargs /bin/rm -f
[13:10] <Atchoum> thank
[13:10] <white-sheep> DIFH-iceroot, No error message.  It didn't show up at all.  Possible some kind of interfering in firefox's gui.
[13:11] <chilli0> lasivian:  i found some stuff on it
[13:11] <chilli0> input: Lenovo EasyCamera as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb8/8-5/8-5:1.0/input/input8
[13:11] <savvas> Atchoum: then use sudo: sudo find / -name "Thumbs.db" -delete
[13:11] <Atchoum> ok thank you very much
[13:12] <lasivian> chilli0: hrrm, beyond me i'm afraid, sorry
[13:13] <chilli0> k
[13:13] <GodfatherofEire1> Seriously, does anybody know how to that, cause I got a splitting headache and I've been looking for 2 hours now.   It will not let me use my keyboard or mouse :(
[13:19] <lasivian> how can I find the version of the vnc server on my machine, and reinstall it?
[13:19] <savvas> chilli0: if you reboot your pc, then that should "restart" the use of the webcam
[13:19] <lasivian> it's not a seperate package i believe
[13:20] <lasivian> chilli0: oh, shutdown, remove the battery and reboot, sometimes my old notebook would not redetect things until it was totally powered down
[13:20] <chilli0> k
[13:20] <chilli0> savvas:  its working fine on ekiga
[13:20] <bastid_raZor> Travis; #vmware may be a better channel
[13:20] <chilli0> but not in cheese
[13:20] <savvas> perhaps it's not supported in cheese
[13:20] <lasivian> chilli0: my camera does the same thing, I think we're stuck unless you want to try cheese 2.24 which is not a package
[13:20] <chilli0> savvas:   dont think so
[13:21] <chilli0> savvas:  it says its using the webcam
[13:21] <fosco_> lasivian:  dpkg -l | grep vnc
[13:21] <CyBurnett> I installed vmware player on ubuntu hardy but when I try to open the virtual image i get cannot open..... insufficient privelages
[13:21] <chilli0> lasivian:  ?
[13:21] <white-sheep> lasivian -- Try sudo aptitude search <xyzpackage> and then you found the specific package, do the sudo aptitude show <xyzpackage>
[13:21] <lasivian> savvas: mind worked in cheese with a netbook prebuild version of 8.04, but failed in my own build of 8.10, yet like chilli0 it works not in Ekiga
[13:21] <Kinetic> Im trying to get my Ubuntu machine to be able to print from the printer attached to my Vista machine. The network sharing seems to work--i can seethe files on each machine, but I cant get Ubuntu to find the printer
[13:22] <white-sheep> lasivian -- Then you can read all abc's on your package.
[13:22] <lasivian> white-sheep: well, the VNC server was preloaded, not a package I added
[13:22] <chilli0> lasivian:  what is the cheese website
[13:23] <lasivian> chilli0: http://www.gnome.org/projects/cheese
[13:23] <chilli0> k thanks
[13:23] <mrwes> Kinetic: you try adding a printer from http://localhost:631 and use ipp
[13:24] <troythetechguy> Has anyone here used SpinRite?
[13:24] <savvas> troythetechguy: what for?
[13:25] <lasivian> white-sheep: figured it out, thanks :)
[13:25] <CyBurnett> Any help with this would be great. -Cannot open the disk '/home/****/.vmware/Haiku/vmhaiku-25-08-08/haiku.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: Insufficient permission to access file.
[13:25] <kelvin911> chilli0: what program u need webcam?
[13:26] <kelvin911> usually skype
[13:26] <chilli0> Amsn
[13:26] <chilli0> and i want cheese also
[13:26] <kelvin911> why cheese?
[13:26] <kelvin911> cheese is useless
[13:26] <chilli0> take pics
[13:26] <troythetechguy> savvas: Hard drive issues.
[13:26] <savvas> troythetechguy: try install software packages such as: dvdisaster gddrescue testdisk
[13:26] <lasivian> chilli0: does your camera turn around so it faces forward not just towards you?
[13:26] <Kinetic> mrwes: Well currently Im following this guide http://www.europe.eclipse.co.uk/Ubuntu/Printing-810.htm but when i get to adding a printer in Ubuntu I can only see my Vista machine shared folders...no printer
[13:26] <white-sheep> lasivian, Just got your message.  No problem.  How did you do it?
[13:26] <troythetechguy> savvas: Thanks for the tip.
[13:27] <lasivian> white-sheep: it was in fact a listed package, silly me :)
[13:27] <chilli0> lasivian:  it cant turn around
[13:27] <white-sheep> lasivian -- :)
[13:27] <lasivian> chilli0: then don't waste time on cheese :P
[13:27] <chilli0> wha?
[13:27] <bonhoffer> is there a means in gnome to tile all windows?
[13:27] <lasivian> unl3ess you're highly vain :)
[13:27] <chilli0> it has pretty effects and what not
[13:27] <GodfatherofEire1> Wasnt there some utility for creating customized install disks for Ubuntu?
[13:27] <kelvin911> chilli0: u can do effect with gimp
[13:27] <GodfatherofEire1> Like, with certain packages pre-loaded?
[13:28] <chilli0> yeh but
[13:28] <chilli0> still
[13:28] <kelvin911> chilli0: just take the picture with camera
[13:28] <bonhoffer> i am trying to move files between two nautilus windows -- it is naturally possible to manually line them up, but in windows, i often find it helpful to automatically tile the windows
[13:28] <chilli0> kelvin911:  ok then , how can i take a pic?
[13:28] <kelvin911> chilli0: press the button in your digital camera
[13:28] <chilli0> i dont have a camera
[13:28] <kelvin911> chilli0: a cell phone?
[13:28] <chilli0> ...
[13:28] <chilli0> i want to use my webcam
[13:29] <kelvin911> chilli0: r u a hot girl?

[13:30] <white-sheep> \slash:  Google gnome-look -- You're looking for gnome-looks.org or something similar.  I may been right on the target for the said link.
[13:30] <Enselic> radc: you must be in the righ directory
[13:30] <fosco_> radc: make sure file name is correct
[13:30] <JRandomDude> \slash: there's a lot of themes as well as login screen themes for you there.

[13:31] <radc> in which directory shoild be file? enselic
[13:31] <bonhoffer> do i need to install the tile package
[13:31] <radc> it is correct. fosco

[13:31] <bonhoffer> better way to tile windows?

[13:32] <kelvin911> chilli0: if u aint a chick why do u need to take a picture?
[13:32] <Enselic> radc: btw in your IRC client, try typing Ens<Tab>
[13:32] <chilli0> why not
[13:32] <radc> so I need to put ta.gaz to directory, right? enselic
[13:32] <Enselic> radc: in what directory do you have the archive now?

[13:33] <clitoral> I'm at a complete loss
[13:33] <clitoral> My wireless simply won't connect
[13:33] <bonhoffer> it seems that a default tiling app should exist?
[13:33] <bonhoffer> something in 8.10?
[13:33] <chilli0> kelvin911:  i need the newer cheese
[13:34] <Enselic> clitoral: have you turned the hardware switch for wireless 'On'?
[13:34] <amikrop> How can I play QuickTime VR in that page? http://www.stoa.org/metis/cgi-bin/qtvr?site=cave
[13:34] <amikrop> !quicktime
[13:34] <clitoral> Enselic: I'll check
[13:35] <bonhoffer> or is there a way to simply split nautilus windows?
[13:35] <clitoral> I don't think there is a physical switch
[13:35] <amikrop> How can I play QuickTime VR in that page? http://www.stoa.org/metis/cgi-bin/qtvr?site=cave
[13:35] <white-sheep> bonhoffer -- What do you mean by splitting nautilus windows?  You're talking about tabs?
[13:35] <fosco_> bonhoffer: you can use nautilus tabs
[13:36] <bonhoffer> not really -- i want to drag files between two windows
[13:36] <vampirefrog> hi. any idea how I can make my two windows partitions (one ntfs, the other fat32) show up in 'computer' or on the desktop?
[13:36] <bonhoffer> i know i can open the windows and drag them next to each other
[13:36] <white-sheep> bonhoffer... Open a new window?
[13:36] <vampirefrog> they're mounted fine but i can only access them via their mount point
[13:36] <bonhoffer> in windows, i can tile vertically
[13:36] <bonhoffer> without so much mouse movement
[13:36] <bonhoffer> and window positioning
[13:36] <clitoral> Enselic: Do you know any reasons why or why not my wireless isn't workinig?
[13:36] <amikrop> How can I play QuickTime VR in that page? http://www.stoa.org/metis/cgi-bin/qtvr?site=cave
[13:37] <bonhoffer> not saying it is hard, just want it easier -- i am always dragging around and resizing windows
[13:37] <white-sheep> bonhoffer -- If you want to move files without mouse movement... Use terminal.   mv ~/sheep/* ~/wolf/
[13:37] <white-sheep> Something like that.
[13:37] <clitoral> The wifi light isn't on but the bluetooth light is on
[13:37] <bonhoffer> other folks seem to want this too: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/428/
[13:38] <bonhoffer> but the question is how to manage your open windows
[13:38] <Travis> My non recognition of the kb and mouse in Ubuntu 8.10 is NOT a vmware issue.  It's an ubuntu issue.  YOu sent me over there for nothing.
[13:38] <clitoral> I wish you cared about a simple man with no wireless
[13:38] <bohdan> how I was using ion3 for a while in dapper :) , and now I'm trying to get my old configs work in interpid, but (a) they don't work and (b) mouse resize is crappy
[13:38] <bohdan> is ion3 still supported?
[13:38] <clitoral> Do you hate me?
[13:38] <white-sheep> Lol @ "This can be done by compiling the tile plugin into compiz, its quite helpful when xfering from one 500GB Porn folder to the other 386GB porn folder...:)"
[13:38] <chilli0> clitoral:  what computer are u using?
[13:38] <bohdan> what was all this about removing it from hardy?
[13:38] <bonhoffer> what would be really nice is a gnome option to de-overlap windows
[13:38] <Enselic> clitoral: have you installed the driver?
[13:38] <clitoral> Dell Inspiron 6400
[13:38] <mrwes> Kinetic: you get it working?
[13:39] <savvas> bonhoffer: you can use midnight commander
[13:39] <clitoral> Enselic: I have done everything in this faq: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092&highlight=dell+1390+ndiswrapper
[13:39] <bonhoffer> just push everything in the right place
[13:39] <white-sheep> bonhoffer:  Read the comments -- One of them mentioned a compiz tile plugin.
[13:39] <chilli0> clitoral:  i see , im using a diffrent computer sorry
[13:39] <brainbrainbrain> is there a channel about true crypt somewhere???
[13:39] <clitoral> Standard ndiswrapper crap
[13:39] <bonhoffer> savvas, i am on light hardware -- does it use a lot of ram
[13:39] <Enselic> clitoral: why have you bought a computer with a wireless card that is manufactured by someone not caring about Linux support?
[13:40] <bonhoffer> white-sheep, yea -- i was curious if it is recommended?
[13:40] <savvas> bonhoffer: no, i think it's lighter than nautilus. It uses a split view of two folders, it's similar to "Total commander" in windows, if you ever heard of it :)
[13:40] <bonhoffer> savvas, might be perfect
[13:40] <white-sheep> bonhoffer:  You can
[13:40] <bonhoffer> white-sheep, seems processor intensive
[13:40] <clitoral> Enselic: It's not mine, I stole it from a black person who isn't very well off.
[13:40] <clitoral> Just kidding
[13:40] <clitoral> No

[13:41] <bonhoffer> savvas, and white-sheep, thanks --

[13:42] <white-sheep> perlsyntax_:  Why don't you install a package?  <sudo aptitude search python> will give you a list of packages.
[13:43] <savvas> bonhoffer: actually midnight commander (package: mc) is used in console, if you want the graphical "version" install: gnome-commander
[13:43] <Enselic> white-sheep, perlsyntax_: no need to sudo just when searching for packages

[13:46] <brainbrainbrain> why do people say debian is more professional than ubuntu
[13:47] <birkoff> Hey guys, I am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 on a eeepc. I created the bootable usb stick and booted the system already ... thing is I can't get another tty to set up the cdrom and I also can't use the install option (I press enter and nothing happens) ... any ideas on how I should proceed ?
[13:48] <Dr_willis_> birkoff,  how did You make the bootable usb stick?
[13:48] <birkoff> Dr_willis_, I followed the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Manual%20Approach
[13:48] <savvas> birkoff: have you tried the ubuntu netbook remix? http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/nbr
[13:49] <Dr_willis_> birkoff,  you may want to try the 'unetbootin' program to make a bootable thumbdrive - its worked for me.
[13:49] <birkoff> savvas, I am trying this for now !eeepc > savvas
[13:49] <birkoff> Dr_willis_, Yeah I tryed that ... didn't quite work ... so I went manual on it
[13:50] <Dr_willis_> birkoff,  ive also had unetbootin sucessfully make a install thumbdrive from the alternative isntaller iso files
[13:50] <Dr_willis_> Sounds like it may be mor eof an EEE issue.
[13:50] <Jeruvy> savvas: why is that netbook remix recommended for ppl's with coding skills?
[13:50] <birkoff> dr_willis_, I am not using the alternative iso file ... I just downloaded the regular 8.10 release ... is this ok ?
[13:51] <Dr_willis_> you could edit the  boot configs on the thumbdrive where it select the isntall option automatically.  Ive succesuffly installed from the 8.10 and ALtInstaller with Unetbootin.
[13:51] <Dr_willis_> birkoff,  whty do you need to 'setup the cdrom' at all?
[13:51] <savvas> Jeruvy: is it? I thought it has a better/easier interface for netbooks/notebooks
[13:51] <clitoral> I should be disconnected now
[13:51] <birkoff> Dr_willis_, cos eeepc doesn't come with a cd driver ... and I need to link it to the pen drive
[13:51] <Jeruvy> savvas: struck me odd as well.  But it clearly states that beside the download link ;)
[13:51] <Dr_willis_> Jeruvy,  its a 'work in progress'
[13:52] <birkoff> Dr_willis_, also ... unebootin just ended up messing my usb stick
[13:52] <damian> привет
[13:52] <Dr_willis_> birkoff,  i never needed to do so on  My machines that had no cd.. the install files all came from the thumbdrive
[13:52] <savvas> Jeruvy: ah, probably not officially stable yet :)
[13:52] <birkoff> Dr_willis_, that's what I hoped for but the tutorial the bot (on this channel) gave to me said I needed to link it
[13:52] <Dr_willis_> birkoff,  You also may try the 8.10 'make a usb-drive' option.. if you have access to a machine with 8.10 allready on it.. it may work better then unetbootin
[13:53] <birkoff> !eeepc > Dr_willis_
[13:53] <savvas> Jeruvy: if you know your way around with the terminal, killing and restarting stuff, then I suppose you should be ok :)
[13:53] <Dr_willis_> I got an Acer Aspire One. :)
[13:53] <birkoff> Dr_willis_, I will give it a try
[13:53] <sancho21> Ubuntu said that I have 15 " monitor but actually I have 17 " monitor. How to fix this?

[13:55] <Dr_willis_> veltsu,  i normally install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' and it grabs flash and other bits.
[13:55] <savvas> veltsu: are you using 32-bit or 64-bit ubuntu? Execute this in Applications > Accessories > Terminal: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

[13:56] <mrwes> 160gb?
[13:56] <jor> After an 8.04->8.10 upgrade, shutdown/halt doesnt work properly. It can't remount the root (busy). Thus causing a fsck on every startup. Anybody an idea why this might happen?
[13:56] <savvas> veltsu: or use what Dr_willis_ suggested, search for "ubuntu restricted extras" in Applications > Add/Remove... (Select Show ALL available applications)
[13:56] <Dr_willis_> mrwes,  i think its a 120gb.  WalMart Special

[13:56] <mrwes> Doc: how much?
[13:56] <Travis> Ubuntu may not like the Intel 810 chipset video card on my old computer.
[13:57] <Travis> I have to use an nVidia GeForce 4000 MX card for it to work

[13:57] <mrwes> Doc: you have Ubuntu running on it already? heh
[13:57] <savvas> tizbac: why would you want to do that? I think it'd hardcoded to use keyboard
[13:57] <Dr_willis_> mrwes,  the 'linux' version was like $300 but for the extra $50 its worth getting the HD and more ram.
[13:57] <Dr_willis_> mrwes,  from thumbdrive :)
[13:57] <mrwes> heh
[13:57] <tizbac> savvas: video driver crashed, i need to switch to console from ssh since keyboard is freezed
[13:58] <cstar> having trouble getting a Broadcomm BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] wireless adapter working on a presario laptop, please help...
[13:58] <savvas> tizbac: then.. close and make a new ssh connection?
[13:58] <tizbac> savvas: i want to unfreeze it
[13:58] <Travis> bastid_razor, #vmware said to come back here.  It's an ubuntu issue with my keyboard and mouse.
[13:59] <tizbac> savvas: but i'd like to fix the driver problem anyway
[13:59] <[chr0n0s]> hey, can anyone help me install webcam on my sony vaio laptop ... here is some information to start with --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/97620/
[13:59] <savvas> tizbac: weird, why would the keyboard freeze if it's a video driver problem? you mean the kernel module crashed? i think you have to manually reset it if that's the case :\
[13:59] <Dr_willis_> !webcam
[13:59] <cstar> having trouble getting a Broadcomm BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] wireless adapter working on a presario laptop, please help!!!
[14:00] <Dr_willis_> !wireless
[14:00] <savvas> tizbac: are you using ssh console or ssh and xorg?
[14:00] <LynysysNorfolkUK> cstar, specifically there is a howto at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=285809
[14:00] <tizbac> savvas: it's VERY WEIRD problem with geforce 8800 + 64 bit + SATA + QUad core
[14:00] <Dr_willis_> cstar,  i was thinking my old laptop had a similer chipset - i just ran the restricted-drivers 'jockey' tool and it downloaded the needed files..  and away it went. :)
[14:00] <tizbac> i send a lot of emails also to nvidia
[14:00] <tizbac> *sent
[14:01] <[chr0n0s]> !webcam
[14:01] <LynysysNorfolkUK> cstar, Dr_willis_ suggestion is probably better because they have improved restricted driver support in the latest releaseI think
[14:01] <LynysysNorfolkUK> oh, bye then..
[14:01] <savvas> tizbac: is it a server you're paying to use? ask your support to do their job :) You should be able to use other software, like use it through webmin (http) to reboot it and such
[14:01] <Dr_willis_> yea - i never had the thing working - untill 8.10  - clean 8.10 install and  away it went.
[14:02] <GodfatherofEire> OK, /NOW/ I need some help
[14:02] <tizbac> savvas: it's my desktop computer , anyway this is the edn of syslog http://pastebin.com/mf9c52f
[14:03] <GodfatherofEire> Somehow I borked the xorg in that its not loading, and I cant use sudo nano to fix it because I get the "read only file system" feedback. Help please
[14:03] <eth01> nvidia don't generally reply to emails regarding linux stuff
[14:03] <eth01> linux = free
[14:04] <mrwes> Doc : I thought there were a lot of bugs with Jockey in 8.10
[14:04] <savvas> tizbac: can you ask someone to reboot it physically then?
[14:04] <tizbac> then nvidia must hope that ATI doesn't release opensource drivers, because my nvidia gfx will be thrown out of he window
[14:04] <Dr_willis_> GodfatherofEire,  if  the filesystem is some how currupted. it will get mounted read only. You proberly need to 'fsck' it first and fix any errors with the filesystem first.
[14:04] <eth01> why?
[14:04] <tizbac> savvas: is my desktop computer, i have reset button
[14:04] <Dr_willis_> mrwes,  ive not noticed any with my 5 machines
[14:04] <Jeruvy> quote "To use the Ubuntu Netbook Remix you need to install packages on top of an existing Ubuntu installation and you may have some compatibility issues depending on your hardware profile. For now we recommend it only for experienced Linux users or commercial OEMs and ODMs engage with Canonical for support and service offerings."
[14:04] <tizbac> savvas: i want just see what happened excatly
[14:04] <savvas> tizbac: and if you reset it, the problem comes back?
[14:04] <savvas> ah
[14:04] <ferfactor> yesterday i was using gparted to move the wieght of the partition of my HD extern, but magically at the middle of the process the HD mount automatically and the  resize of the partition failed..... now i ubuntu read the HD and i can see that the info that i hace size 100 gb but i can't see that, any way to repair that paritition?
[14:05] <tizbac> savvas: the problem is a long story
[14:05] <perlsyntax> i install build-essential still have prob
[14:05] <francesco_> hello in my synaptic package manager i do not have lynx and geany can some1 tell me what is the repository for this??
[14:05] <Dr_willis_> !info geany
[14:05] <GodfatherofEire> Dr_willis_ it was working fine not 10 minutes ago, and I know its the xorg, cause it tells me that X11 cant start up, but when I go to mod xorg.conf, it doesnt save, stating that its a read only fs
[14:05] <tizbac> savvas: it happend when some parts of date ends with "9" and i'm using VBO and FBO
[14:05] <prova> hello in my synaptic package manager i do not have lynx and geany can some1 tell me what is the repository for this??
[14:06] <savvas> tizbac: are you sure you're using the proper drivers? can you post the output of: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[14:06] <perlsyntax> is this odd
[14:06] <tizbac> savvas: i tried, the ones from ubuntu repos, the stable from nvidia site and the beta
[14:06] <perlsyntax> ?
[14:06] <Dr_willis_> GodfatherofEire,  if a filesystem some how triggers an error - the system will 'remount' it as read only to pervent data curruption.. this can happen '10 min ago' or at any time..chedk dmesg logs.. and i would strongly suggest booting a live cd and manyually fscking the filesystem. xorg.conf changes will not affect the filesystem. :)
[14:07] <savvas> tizbac: wait, you tried them after the problem appeared, or did you install beta/nvidia-site ones before the problem appeared?
[14:07] <fmoo> How do I change the mirror that apt-get is pulling from?
[14:07] <GodfatherofEire> Dr_willis, alright, I'll be back in a bit
[14:07] <Dr_willis_> GodfatherofEire,  assuming this is a normal install and not some live-cd you are running from now.. at least. :)
[14:07] <prova> hello in my synaptic package manager i do not have lynx and geany can some1 tell me what is the repository for this??
[14:07] <tizbac> savvas: after the problem appeared
[14:07] <veltsu> Dr_Willis, about the flash: I've tried installing flash from adobe's site, like firefox suggested. Then I did some searching and noticed there seemed to be something more to it than just that (as always). Just now I installed the flashplugin savvas suggested (running 32-bit) and at least youtube is working. Oddly enough, one other site still doesn't work so I'm downloading the restricted extras you recommended. We'll see... Thanks for your help, both Dr_Wil
[14:07] <GodfatherofEire> Dr_willis, running on a dual boot atm
[14:07] <perlsyntax> i get bash no ./configure still
[14:07] <Dr_willis_> prova,  --> !info geany  showed geany in uninverse
[14:07] <tizbac> savvas: the problem appeared from when i bought the computer
[14:07] <GodfatherofEire> *Dr_willis_ ^^
[14:07] <savvas> veltsu: you have to close and restart your internet browser (mozilla firefox?) in order to work ok
[14:08] <perlsyntax> anyone know
[14:08] <prova> what is the name of repository
[14:08] <veltsu> savvas, yes, I did and got Youtube working. The other site just didn't function
[14:08] <prova> ???
[14:08] <Dr_willis_> veltsu,  i think you NEVER NEVER NEVER want to install flash from 'adobes' site.. use the package manager system's version.
[14:08] <GodfatherofEire> Well, Dr_willis_ I'll brb
[14:08] <savvas> tizbac: perhaps faulty graphics card? or is it working well with other operating systems (windows?)?
[14:08] <perlsyntax> hello
[14:08] <tizbac> savvas: with windoze i can play crysis at very high for hours
[14:09] <savvas> veltsu: are you using ubuntu 8.04 hardy or 8.10 intrepid?
[14:09] <veltsu> svvas 8.10
[14:09] <Dr_willis_> veltsu,  on a new install.. i  install the ubuntu-restricted-extras , and other bits after i boot the first time..ane i never have flash issues. :)
[14:09] <veltsu> savvas
[14:09] <savvas> veltsu: which site?
[14:09] <tizbac> savvas: also some other people has that problem, but it is very very rare
[14:09] <perlsyntax> why will unbuntu 8.10 won't install my tar file
[14:09] <Dr_willis_> !repo | prova
[14:10] <tizbac> savvas: maybe 50-60 people or less
[14:10] <savvas> tizbac: unfortunately, all you can do is complain to nvidia a loooot of times, providing them with logs etc.. nothing I can suggest beyond that - thank god my 7300gt is working ok :)
[14:10] <jimi_hendrix> kelvin911, is it ok if i ocationally ping the channel with my question to see if anyone might have an answer besides you?
[14:10] <veltsu> Dr_Willis, that's a good piece of information for me to know in the future. Sooner or later I think I'll do a "cleaning" install to get a fresh start. Now I just want to try I can get all needed stuff to work
[14:10] <savvas> tizbac: is your graphics card sharing/using a piece ram memory? maybe you need to change your ram, get something branded like kingston
[14:11] <tizbac> savvas: sent about 50-60 emails and posted on some forums
[14:11] <prova> hello in my synaptic package manager i do not have lynx and geany can some1 tell me what is the link to the repository for this??
[14:11] <tizbac> savvas: i think it is using only it's memory
[14:11] <savvas> perlsyntax: what tar file? which application are you trying to install? link and name?
[14:11] <perlsyntax> i try tto install python 2.5.4
[14:12] <veltsu> savvas, I think it was the typical "getflash" page that you're directed to when no flash is detected on your computer and you click "install plugin"
[14:12] <tizbac> savvas: anyway i think i'll buy ATI next time, i have 3 nvidia cards - 3 nvidia drivers bugs
[14:13] <gynterk> hello, is it possible to install ubuntu via installer which is on hdd?
[14:13] <savvas> veltsu: you mean: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ ?
[14:13] <gynterk> i have laptop cdrom broken, but I can copy installer to some hdd part externally
[14:13] <perlsyntax> http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/
[14:14] <veltsu> savvas, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[14:14] <perlsyntax> ?
[14:15] <Jeruvy> perlsyntax: 'sudo apt-get python' then 'python setup.py install'
[14:15] <axyjo> come one, come all to the all freenode wolf game. #freenode-newyears-wolf
[14:15] <savvas> veltsu: if you can see the flash movie at http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ then you're ok. The "problem" shown there is because it can't find the adobe shockwave player
[14:15] <perlsyntax> ii try to install python 2.5.4
[14:16] <savvas> veltsu: I mean there is no shockwave player for linux :)
[14:16] <gynterk> flash != shockwave
[14:16] <bazhang> axyjo, dont paste spam here
[14:17] <axyjo> bazhang: sry.
[14:17] <veltsu> savvas, so I guess I'm good then. Works nicely. Very odd though that I'm having problems with another site. Oh well, I'll keep testing. Thanks a bunch for your help
[14:20] <savvas> veltsu: sure, anytime, try installing ubuntu restricted extras and see what happens :)
[14:20] <GodfatherofEire> Dr_willlis_ thanks, ran fsck, and its workin fine, a little slow on bootup, but still kickin.
[14:21] <shubuntu> hi guys does anyone know if ubuntu has any web control panels?
[14:21] <Dr_willis_> ebox - is broken on intrepid  hear shubuntu  - perahs compiling it from source?
[14:21] <Dr_willis_> !info ebox
[14:22] <shubuntu> will that have the capabilities of webmin / ispconfig
[14:23] <Dr_willis_> shubuntu,  no idea. I gave up on webmin and those type tools.. once i learned how to use ssh to admin things. :)
[14:24] <shubuntu> yeah it's not for me
[14:24] <shubuntu> it's for my subdomains
[14:24] <meho_> Greetings I am looking for some help
[14:24] <mrwes> ssh is the way to go
[14:25] <mrwes> Doc: great for a headless server
[14:25] <savvas> meho_: ask away, someone will reply
[14:25] <yugao> hej im Yugao and im new one on this
[14:25] <meho_> I have ubuntu installed version 7.04 now i downloaded the latest i believe 8.10 now i want to  boot from CD and install this latest version
[14:26] <Dr_willis_> mrwes,  i have isues with 'headless' :) always get a filesystem going bad.. and i dont know whats going on.. because ssh will be down since the boot process halted waiting for me to ctrl-d or 'enter password to get to a shell' so even my Headless fileservers. have a head.. :) not allways  on..
[14:27] <shubuntu> you could do aptitude dist-upgrade
[14:27] <meho_> how
[14:27] <bazhang> meho_, you want to do a fresh install or upgrade to 7.10 first
[14:28] <meho_> fresh install
[14:28] <mrwes> doc: yah but for everyday maintenance you can beat it. But like you said, it's nice to have a monitor when you need it
[14:28] <bazhang> meho_, then back up data and fresh install
[14:28] <meho_> i am a noob btw
[14:28] <shubuntu> if you wanna delete everything off your machine, then delete and install from cd
[14:28] <bazhang> meho_, did you burn iso to cd yet
[14:28] <shubuntu> otherwise, just open a terminal
[14:28] <meho_> i did
[14:28] <mrwes> doc: I always said.."it's nice to have a little head, then none"
[14:28] <mrwes> :)
[14:29] <shubuntu> type in: sudo aptitude update
[14:29] <mrwes> in regards to servers that is
[14:29] <mrwes> heh
[14:29] <shubuntu> then: sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[14:29] <bazhang> shubuntu, actually with feisty that will not do it
[14:29] <shubuntu> i've been upgrading since 2004
[14:29] <shubuntu> it's worked alwasy
[14:29] <shubuntu> always*
[14:29] <bazhang> feisty is eol
[14:30] <bazhang> so that will not work in this case.
[14:31] <bazhang> meho_, just back up data and install then, if you have any issues in the process please ask here
[14:31] <meho_> i got a whole bunch of errors and i dont think it worked
[14:31] <bazhang> meho_, which errors
[14:31] <bazhang> paste.ubuntu.com with the errors meho_
[14:32] <meho_> archive 404 not found
[14:32] <bazhang> meho_, did you md5 the iso
[14:32] <meho_> for some of the packages
[14:32] <bazhang> oh that one. meho_ you got the alternate cd?
[14:33] <meho_> md5??
[14:33] <bazhang> meho_, you cannot do a net upgrade with the cd as it is a much higher version
[14:33] <meho_> i did try but i always get 404 errors on the archive
[14:33] <bazhang> meho_, assuming you are using the alternate cd here
[14:34] <bazhang> meho_, you need to switch your sources.list to old-releases.ubuntu.com in that case and go to 7.10 first
[14:35] <bazhang> !upgrade | meho_ check the link entitled gutsyupgrades
[14:35] <bazhang> meho_, there is not a cd involved in the net upgrade in this case
[14:35] <meho_> where
[14:36] <bazhang> meho_, where what? at the link I provided you
[14:36] <meho_> what do i do with this link
[14:37] <bazhang> meho_, click it then read the sub link entitled gutsyupgrades
[14:37] <meho_> i dont see that
[14:37] <ardchoille> links2 web browser needs frame buffer in order to display images in tty1. How do I set up frame buffer? I have vga=318 in the kernel line in menu.lst but that doesn't seem to be enough.

[14:42] <prova> i have this repository but there are many package that i do not have

[15:01] <Shadeslayer> well that was a last resort
[15:01] <Sertse> I mean shutdown now -H vs shutdown now -P
[15:01] <meho_> so everywhere it says archive to replaice with old-releases
[15:01] <jzq> is there anybody using gspace?
[15:01] <Shadeslayer> im off to make forum about it now
[15:01] <meho_> is that right
[15:01] <Guest41817> gynterk: you are right, I read wrong the all time (I read "reinicie" instead of the command "renice"), my mistake.. thank you :-)
[15:02] <gynterk> Guest41817, glad to help you
[15:02] <savvas> not even a thank you for doing the search instead of him.. next time I'm pointing to packages.ubuntu.com :p

[15:03] <banshee_> savvas -rwxr-xr-x 1 banshee banshee 3513408 2009-01-01 09:59 hldsupdatetool.bin
[15:03] <savvas> banshee_: and this: file hldsupdatetool.bin
[15:04] <Travis> Shadeslayer, I just re-installed and kept the VMware image locked into the image during install.  I didn't switch back and forth between the PC and the iamge.

[15:05] <tj83> anyone have this older hardware working in ubuntu? this is from an old Compaq "01:05.0  ESS Technology ES1988 Allegro-1 (rev 12)"
[15:06] <Dr_willis_> banshee_,  looks like t he file may have a bad #! entry at the first line. or some other typos
[15:06] <savvas> KenBW22: http://richard.jones.name/google-hacks/gmail-filesystem/gmail-filesystem-using.html
[15:06] <banshee_> Could it be that im running Ubuntu 64 and this is a 32 bit program?
[15:06] <Dr_willis_> banshee_,  32bit apps wont work on 64bit setups normally so that may be an issue..
[15:06] <banshee_> damnit
[15:06] <banshee_> lol
[15:07] <savvas> banshee_: try: linux32 ./hldsupdatetool.bin
[15:07] <banshee_> so such file
[15:07] <savvas> weird
[15:08] <savvas> hold a sec
[15:08] <Joh_> is ubuntu netbook remix also an "instantly booting OS" or does it work like ubuntu for smaller screens?
[15:08] <banshee_> Does ubuntu server have a desktop?
[15:08] <banshee_> or is it a big console
[15:08] <savvas> banshee_: how about this: linux32 sh ./hldsupdatetool.bin
[15:09] <meho_> one last question the graphics sux at the moment sometimes i am not even able to see the text will that improove with the version 8.10 or what eva the latest version is
[15:09] <banshee_> savvas sh: Can't open ./hldsupdatetool.bin
[15:09] <savvas> banshee_: not by default, but no-one stops you from installing webmin for http control or xfce (xubuntu) for desktop view :)
[15:09] <banshee_> Cause im basically setting up a counter-strike server
[15:10] <ge2x> hey how do i extract a splitted zip file?
[15:10] <rocknloll> There are some scripts hanging around in the 64bit ...nspluginwrapper lets you use 32bit plugins in a 64bit browser. The codecs can be installed quite easily...again just look around. As for VMWare, you could try Virtualbox, which runs natively on 64bit.
[15:11] <tj83> anyone have this older hardware working in ubuntu? this is from an old Compaq "01:05.0  ESS Technology ES1988 Allegro-1 (rev 12)" ............   Here is problem description, sound encoding.decoding seems to work ok no problem if one holds speaker to the ear can hear sound, its not being amplified on the card for some strange reason, anyone know how to fix this?
[15:12] <savvas> banshee_: as I said, a lot of window and desktop managers, some fast and light in functions, some huge and big in features :)
[15:12] <Joh_> and does ubuntu netbook remix come with same hardware support as a standard ubuntu
[15:12] <rocknloll> u using alsa tj83?
[15:12] <savvas> banshee_: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
[15:12] <ssn> hi
[15:13] <ssn> is there any software for ubuntu that helps you learn to play the drums?
[15:13] <tj83> rocknloll, yes, has alsa checked all options in gnome-alsamixer as well as cli alsamixer all switches, mutes devices, everything.
[15:13] <rocknloll> umm no ida sry
[15:14] <savvas> banshee_: then try again: sudo linux32 ./hldsupdatetool.bin or linux32 sudo ./hldsupdatetool.bin
[15:14] <banshee_> savvas: rgr. trying now
[15:14] <banshee_> wicked sick, it worked thanks alot good work
[15:15] <banshee_> Do I have to run linux32 infront of everything?
[15:15] <savvas> banshee_: thank this guy: http://tragicallynull.com/2008/04/27/bash-hldsupdatetoolbin-no-such-file-or-directory-when-trying-to-install-srcds-source-dedicated-server/ :)
[15:15] <banshee_> lol

[15:18] <Flimm> In this sh statement, what exactly is if testing: if PWSTAT=`echo something` 2>/dev/null; then
[15:18] <savvas> banshee_: probably, doesn't hurt to try with/without it :)
[15:18] <banshee_> alright ty ^^
[15:19] <Dr_willis_> Flimm,  looks like its some how getting a return code in some odd way.
[15:20] <Flimm> OK, thanks Dr_willis_
[15:21] <daerwain> kennt sich jemand mit dem xchat-gnome aus ?
[15:21] <Flimm> I've figured it out now, if it returns 0, the statements execute, if it returns something other then 0, the statements don't execute
[15:21] <daerwain> und weiß wie man da nen server einstellt der nen anderen port als 6667 nutzt ?
[15:21] <Flimm> That's counter intuitive, usually 0 stands for false and all the other numbers stand for true.
[15:22] <savvas> !de | daerwain
[15:22] <Dr_willis_> Flimm,  for bash.. 0 = command executed. I think.. and any # = error code
[15:23] <Dr_willis_> Flimm,  and specific error codes#'s mean specifc errors.. I would check that Advanced Bash Scripting Guide
[15:24] <TrentonH> Hi, need assistance installing Wine I can't find any documentation online/

[15:25] <icqnumber> !info hugs
[15:25] <banshee_> savvas: If I want a program to extract to banshee/hlds, is that what I type, or is it like home/hlds
[15:25] <Dr_willis_> Flimm,   Advanced Bash Scripting Guide  - is a must read..  :) i belive || is for  'or' some how.. but not sure what it meas at the end of a line..
[15:25] <maria> Hi, whats the best graphical (easy to use) Ubuntu backup software. I want to backup my home

[15:26] <savvas> banshee_: use $HOME/hlds - $HOME (capitals, case sensitive) stands for /home/youruser
[15:26] <Flimm1> Well, actually, at the end of a line there's || { followed by other lines, indented
[15:26] <TrentonH> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)

[15:27] <Schuenemann> TrentonH, you probably have adept or synaptic running
[15:27] <murdochi> would someone please be able to advise why there's nothing showing up on the "Prepare partitions" stage of the desktop install?
[15:27] <DIFH-iceroot> TrentonH:  is another process using it?
[15:27] <TrentonH> I had the program open for the GUIU via Installing Wine.
[15:27] <DIFH-iceroot> TrentonH: as the error says
[15:27] <TrentonH> I did Schuennemmena or w/e
[15:27] <TrentonH> I got it installing.
[15:27] <Flimm1> Thanks for the advice, Dr_willis_, the guide looks good
[15:28] <tj83> Hey all, just say the backup info rolling past, made me think of a question using the "dd" command is it possible to make your image the actual size of the data rather then the size of the physical disk?
