[04:09] <reverseblade> amir, no need to install windows for this game. This game runs on linux as well
[04:09] <reverseblade> amir, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3703&iTestingId=4636
[04:09] <amir> reverseblade: It says so but I cant get it to work
[04:10] <reverseblade> amir, at what stage you are stuck ?
[04:10] <caucas> Victor, how did you install all the distros you said you have into your h.h.
[04:10] <amir> reverseblade: I know i have followed the guide but I get stuck at one stage and I cant do anything about it
[04:10] <caucas> ??
[04:10] <reverseblade> amir, does the game run ?
[04:10] <amir> reverseblade: ill descibe it, wait
[04:12] <reverseblade> shack, I dont think it is an easy task, you have to run a cron job that eachtime it sets those files, unwriteable
[04:12] <SteveT> hello all, can anyone help me with helix?
[04:12] <bXi> fun little experiment
[04:12] <bXi> upgrade warty to edgy
[04:12] <reverseblade> helix is a geometrical shape I suppose
[04:12] <bXi> without going trough hoary or dapper
[04:13] <shack> reverseblade any quides I could follow on that?
[04:13] <reverseblade> bXi, what happened ?
[04:13] <jrib> bXi: success?
[04:13] <shack> reverseblade that is something I also tought, but I have no clue how to do that
[04:13] <bXi> reverseblade: nothing
[04:13] <reverseblade> shack, no, but may I ask why do you have such a requirement ?
[04:13] <bXi> just installed warty
[04:13] <adaptr> shack: depends on your server, but it should be easy to make an "anonymous drop" as it is called
[04:14] <SteveT> I keep getting an "Bad Transport" error when trying to view video on the BBC news.
[04:14] <adaptr> reverseblade: very common requirement
[04:14] <shack> reverseblade just if I have server up and someone wants to mess up with my upload dir he can del all files from there
[04:14] <mdke> can anyone suggest programs for designing nice greetings cards?
[04:14] <faeryNatsuki> now i have a problem, i could tell firefox to use aoss, but i want to say the same to opera, any idea?
[04:14] <shack> reverseblade tought only trusted users are let in, but some one could do it accidently
[04:15] <reverseblade> shack, AFAIKi you can assign each user, a different directory on the file system
[04:15] <jrib> shack: you can set the sticky bit on a directory, I don't know if ftp affects that at all
[04:15] <reverseblade> jrib, unix permissions must affect any service
[04:16] <jrib> shack: actually I guess that wouldn't work, that would only prevent them from deleting others' files anyway
[04:16] <shack> is there anyway that those files would change to other user when uploaded?
[04:16] <amir> reverseblade:  Here its to long to write it here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/749/
[04:16] <shack> as said I'm using vsftpd
[04:16] <reverseblade> shack, is this a file server within your LAN or you need a real FTP serve available within the internet
[04:17] <shack> it is available within the internet
[04:17] <reverseblade> shack, yes but is it a requirement ?
[04:17] <shack> yes it is
[04:17] <reverseblade> okay
[04:17] <shack> so i can move files from my workplace
[04:18] <shack> tought i can live without of solution to this problem, but it would be nice to get this done properly
[04:18] <reverseblade> then prolly , assigning a directory for each user should do the trick
[04:18] <helpmeplz> help me please, I keep getting Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed
[04:18] <helpmeplz> the nvidia driver for your running kernel.
[04:18] <Beforewisdom> Is there a tv card app for ubuntu, that records, besides xawtv, zapping, and mythtv?
[04:18] <reverseblade> shack, you can use local users on that system
[04:18] <adaptr> helpmeplz: so.. do you have it installed ?
[04:18] <helpmeplz> I have nvidia-glx installed
[04:18] <jrib> shack: http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html suggests you can set the umask to whatever you want, that should work.  Just don't give anyone write permissions ont he files
[04:19] <adaptr> helpthat is *not* what it complains about - you need to install the restricted-modules for you kernel, then reboot
[04:19] <faeryNatsuki> jrib, any idea in how to say opera to use aoss sound wraper?
[04:19] <adaptr> oh, okay - bye
[04:19] <jrib> faeryNatsuki: no, I don't know how
[04:19] <shack> what does umask do?
[04:19] <faeryNatsuki> ok, thanks :)
[04:20] <reverseblade> shack, checked this ? http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3703&iTestingId=4636?
[04:20] <adaptr> shack: it limits the permissions users may assign to new files
[04:20] <GuerrillaWon> I'm trying to register my nick with nickserv per the channels requirements, but it's freezing my computer, I assume just the window interface, which raises the question, is there a way to force my way out of a system freeze?
[04:20] <adaptr> GuerrillaWon: ctrl-alt-backspace will restart X
[04:20] <reverseblade> GuerrillaWon, which client do you use for IRC ?
[04:20] <vergil> Guerill: ctrl-alt-backspace
[04:21] <GuerrillaWon> I'd like to try to register again but I'm hammering my system with these restarts.
[04:21] <adaptr> GuerrillaWon: but it is a last resort
[04:21] <vergil> if you're in X
[04:21] <GuerrillaWon> Ok thanks.
[04:21] <vergil> if you're on console, chances are you hit ctrl-s... hit ctrl-q
[04:21] <GuerrillaWon> I'm using the all power chatzilla
[04:21] <GuerrillaWon> powerfull*
[04:21] <GuerrillaWon> And to register is just /register?
[04:21] <reverseblade> GuerrillaWon, use xchat then :) but real men use irssi :)
[04:22] <GuerrillaWon> ok I'll look into them.
[04:22] <Beforewisdom> Is there a tv card app for ubuntu, that records, besides xawtv, zapping, and mythtv?
[04:22] <bXi> freevo maybe?
[04:22] <GuerrillaWon> oops /ns register
[04:22] <Beforewisdom> thanks
[04:22] <caucas> victor, are you there?
[04:22] <Beforewisdom> exit
[04:22] <Beforewisdom> quit
[04:23] <amir> reverseblade: do you know what im doing wrong?
[04:25] <reverseblade> amir, no. but have you checked the link I have given ?
[04:25] <amir> reverseblade:  the wine link?
[04:25] <reverseblade> amir, also you can install windows via vmware within linux
[04:25] <reverseblade> yes
[04:26] <amir>  thank you
[04:26] <Victor```> I hope this partition resizes correctly
[04:28] <frojnd> what packages do I ndeed to install that I can see movies on youtube.com with firefox?

[04:33] <vleon> ok ihave two questions
[04:33] <vleon> 1) i have to machines in my home, one of the is pentium 3
[04:34] <vleon> would gnome be able to run well on it or am i doomed to use xfce?
[04:34] <bulmer> why dont you try?
[04:34] <tonsofpcs> What config methods does edgy eft use for app executions on startup?
[04:34] <mooey> vleon, gnome should be fine on such a machine. the more cpu and ram the better, but it will work for sure
[04:34] <NkZ> Hey guys. Know where I can get a Wifi Strenght indicator?
[04:34] <jrib> tonsofpcs: config methods?  What do you mean?
[04:35] <tonsofpcs> jrib: how do I change what starts on startup
[04:35] <vleon> 100% sure? i only want to be able to run movies on tv out, surf on the net and maybe play some old games
[04:35] <mooey> NkZ, right click a panel, click add applet and add the network monitor applet. right click -> properties, set it to your wireless card and it will display the signal strength
[04:35] <vleon> but i dont want my system to freeze
[04:35] <Kkeksas> hi all :)
[04:35] <jrib> tonsofpcs: startup when you login as your user or during boot?
[04:35] <mooey> tonsofpcs, do you mean when the system boots or when you log in?
[04:35] <mooey> howdy, Kkeksas
[04:35] <vleon> or run vey slowly
[04:36] <mooey> vleon, xfce is fast. how much ram is in the pc?
[04:36] <NkZ> Thanx mooey :-)
[04:36] <rvalles> hi
[04:36] <vleon> well i didnt check
[04:36] <mooey> aloha, rvalles
[04:36] <rvalles> are there packages of the patched qemu for kvm for edgy?
[04:36] <vleon> but not much
[04:36] <tonsofpcs> jrib: system boots... I'm running "andLinuxPreBeta" and it includes edgy eft and it defaults to running gui apps as root, I want to change those to run as a user
[04:36] <vleon> anyway i can upgrade the ram if thats the only problem...
[04:37] <vleon> maybe this fact will give you a clue
[04:37] <mooey> vleon, try gnome, see if it is ok for you. it likes ram so that will help. its much a case of suck it and see unfortunatly, not so easy to predict what speed you are happy with :~)
[04:37] <vleon> i couldnt install xubuntu on it in regular install only alternate
[04:38] <vleon> im happy with any spped that will smothly run my movies and let me surf on the net
[04:38] <riz-o> Hi i can't boot into ubuntu
[04:38] <riz-o> i get a kernel panic error
[04:38] <jrib> tonsofpcs: see 'man update-rc.d' and !upstart I guess.  I'm not familiar with what "andLinuxPreBeta" is at all, but what you describe isn't default behavior for edgy
[04:38] <jrib> !upstart | tonsofpcs
[04:38] <ubotu> tonsofpcs: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[04:38] <mooey> vleon, install regular ubuntu and try it. if its not fast enough, all you need todo is 'sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop' and it will seitch
[04:38] <riz-o> how i can  recover ubuntu
[04:38] <mooey> *seitch -> switch
[04:38] <NkZ> mooey that worked perfectly. :-) Many thanks! :-)
[04:39] <mooey> no problem, NkZ
[04:39] <wheels3572> How do I check permissions in GAIM?
[04:39] <jrib> wheels3572: permissions of what?
[04:39] <mooey> wheels3572, permissions of what?
[04:39] <mooey> aheh
[04:39] <mooey> :D
 wow its easier than i thought :)
[04:39] <vleon> ok ill do that
[04:39] <wheels3572> jrib, mooey i honestly dont know.  I was asked if I have checked permissions in gaim
[04:40] <vleon> i have a second question
[04:40] <mooey> wheels3572, what led you to need to check them? can you expand on the problem?
[04:40] <jrib> wheels3572: ask the person that asked you :)  But I'm guessing he means ~/.gaim
[04:40] <tonsofpcs> yea, i think its using that... how do I list the scripts taht are set up?
[04:40] <wheels3572> jrib, only noe problem.  I did and have no reply they are gone idle grrrrrrrrrrrr
[04:40] <vleon> can you direct me to a good up to date guide, script or proggram that inables me to run tv-out with an nvidia card (i know how to install the binary drivers)
[04:41] <jrib> wheels3572: well what was the original issue?
[04:41] <wheels3572> mooey, to better help you understand.  I have no logging in gaim anymore after lastnight but if I run gksu gaim it logs just fine.  So I was asked to check permissions in gaim
[04:41] <wheels3572> jrib,  to better help you understand.  I have no logging in gaim anymore after lastnight but if I run gksu gaim it logs just fine.  So I was asked to check permissions in gaim
[04:42] <jrib> tonsofpcs: edgy uses upstart which is described on the above web page, but in edgy it is still just loading the old scripts in /etc/init.d/, so the manpage for update-rc.d will describe that
[04:42] <jrib> wheels3572: where does it log to?
[04:43] <vleon> can you direct me to a good up to date guide, script or programm that enables me to run tv-out with an nvidia card (i know how to install the binary drivers)?
[04:43] <wheels3572> jrib, that I dont understand whta you mean.  All I know is I have im logging and chat enabled in all of gaim itself.  It stopped working after tlastnight.
[04:43] <jakob> how do I make "make install" install to a certain directory?
[04:43] <wheels3572> jrib, are you asking for the path
[04:43] <jrib> wheels3572: yes
[04:43] <wheels3572> if so it's $HOME/.gaim/yahoo/wheels351972
[04:43] <jrib> jakob: ./configure --prefix=WHATEVER   usually
[04:44] <jrib> wheels3572: find ~/.gaim ! -user $USER
[04:44] <wheels3572> jrib, if so it's $HOME/.gaim/yahoo/wheels351972
[04:44] <wheels3572> ok
[04:44] <wheels3572> jrib, under filemanager or CLI?
[04:44] <jrib> wheels3572: cli
[04:45] <jakob> jrib, I get no such file or directory when I type ./configure
[04:45] <jrib> jakob: then consult the documentation for your application
[04:46] <jakob> jrib, I would but it's a plugin and I haven't been able to find anything on it
[04:46] <wheels3572> jrib, that command find ~/.gaim  ! -user $USER goes right back to cli command prompt
[04:46] <jrib> jakob: what plugin?
[04:46] <mooey> wheels3572, is logging deffinatly turned on in the gaim settings?
[04:46] <jakob> libtile. When I run make install it returns "install   : /root/.beryl/plugins/libtile.so.so-e"
[04:47] <faeryNatsuki> my flash player trouble is related to the plugin itself and not with firefox, i testes it in seamonkey and opera and it gives me no sound, maybe it is confusing the soundcard :(
[04:47] <ctqucl> I want to know which group the default user adds on?
[04:47] <wheels3572> mooey, oh yeah no doubt.  Under preferences and logging all 3 areas are checked
[04:47] <wheels3572> and in individual windows all boxes are checkmarked
[04:47] <jakob> jrib, but I want it to unstall to /usr/lib/beryl
[04:47] <vleon> can someone direct me to a good up to date guide, script or programm that enables me to run tv-out with an nvidia card (i know how to install the binary drivers)?
[04:47] <ctqucl> my problem is not to create a id
[04:47] <riotkittie> faeryNatsuki, and your problem is with the flash 9 beta?
[04:48] <jrib> jakob: is there anything more to installing the plugin than running 'make install' ?
[04:48] <bulmer> ctqucl: cat /etc/group
[04:48] <mooey> wheels3572, enter into a console: sudo chown -R YOUR_USERNAME ~/.gaim/logs
[04:48] <faeryNatsuki> yes riotkittie, is with the flash 9 beta
[04:48] <jakob> jrib, not as far as I know. All I need is for it install to the right directory
[04:48] <jrib> jakob: read the Makefile then
[04:48] <mnoir> ctqucl: what do you mean default user and what do you mean adds on
[04:48] <adam_12> how can i tell if both the cores in my prosesor r being used? coz i think only one is being used
[04:49] <lukillas> people, i've got a question, i downloaded java runtime from sun and installed it, make the simbolic link but when i enter a page containing java, firefox restarts, i tried to install jre from synaptic with same results, what can i do?
[04:49] <jakob> jrib, thanks. I think I found it :D
[04:49] <mnoir> !java | lukillas
[04:49] <ctqucl> the groups same as the user when we install system add.
[04:49] <ubotu> lukillas: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[04:49] <jrib> lukillas: you need sun-java5-plugin
[04:49] <faeryNatsuki> riotkittie: do you know something about it?
[04:49] <lukillas> ubotu, jrib: thanks i'll try
[04:49] <ikonia> adam_12: use top and see if it shows both processors
[04:49] <amadeus> hello ....
[04:50] <riotkittie> faeryNatsuki, no, sorry
[04:50] <adam_12> ikonia: wat is top?
[04:50] <asph> hiya again
[04:50] <ikonia> adam_12: top is a command
[04:50] <mnoir> ctqucl: i still do not understand your question.  to see the groups of the use that you are looged on as, type id in a terminal
[04:50] <ikonia> or do "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
[04:50] <wheels3572> mooey, I keep getting invalid user
[04:50] <ikonia> and see if you see both cpu's
[04:50] <riotkittie> faeryNatsuki, did this version of flash ever provide sound for you?
[04:50] <ikonia> riotkittie: only flash 9 provides sound on most sites
[04:51] <ikonia> flash 7 won't play any later flash built sites
[04:51] <mnoir> ctqucl: IF you add a user, only a new group same as userid is created and assigned
[04:51] <ikonia> with sound
[04:51] <ctqucl> mnoir: I want to copy a user that the purview same as the user we install the system,I have lost it
[04:51] <bulmer> ctqucl: cat /etc/group  and see which group a user is added to
[04:51] <mnoir> ctqucl: to see all the members of groups, cat the /etc/groups file
[04:51] <riotkittie> ikonia, i know but faeryNatsuki is using 9 beta and not getting sound
[04:52] <ikonia> riotkittie: I'll bet he messed up the install - thats the most common
[04:52] <vleon> can someone direct me to a good up to date guide, script or programm that enables me to run tv-out with an nvidia card (i know how to install the binary drivers)?
[04:52] <vleon> !tv-out
[04:52] <ubotu> For help with enabling the TV-Out on certain NVidia cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition
[04:52] <ikonia> as there is no install routine for it
[04:52] <ctqucl> so I want to choose the right group to add. mnoir
[04:52] <mnoir> ctqucl: you want to put back a user you removed or add a user that was on another system?
[04:53] <riotkittie> ikonia,  yeah i was going to suggest a removal and reinstall if they hadnt already done so
[04:53] <mnoir> ctqucl: how shall you determine the correct group to give the user?
[04:53] <vleon> ubotu you are so cool (too bad that you are only a programm
[04:53] <ubuntux> someone know how to sync a symbian phone with evolution?
[04:53] <vleon> mooey thanks for your help
[04:53] <faeryNatsuki> riotkittie: i'm not sure, i have sound befire, but not now :(
[04:53] <adam_12> ikonia: Cpu(s):  3.0%us,  1.7%sy,  0.0%ni, 94.7%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.7%si,  0.0%st.
[04:53] <adam_12> is this wat im ment to b looking at and if it is then how do i tell if both of the prosesors r in use
[04:54] <hjmills> should it really take 4 minutes to login to the freenode server?
[04:54] <mnoir> ctqucl: i know i can help as soon as i can understand :)
[04:54] <ikonia> adam_12: just do cat /proc/cpuinfo and see if they are both there as you obviously arn't advanced enough to read commands like top
[04:54] <ctqucl> have same purview or power
[04:54] <mooey> vleon, no problem. wheels3572, i've got to go away for a bit, sorry, good luck solving the problem.
[04:54] <adam_12> ikonia: haha k im only 14
[04:54] <ikonia> so /
[04:55] <ikonia> ?
[04:55] <hjmills> lol
[04:55] <riotkittie> heh
[04:55] <riotkittie> i feel old now
[04:55] <hjmills> im sure i could have understood "top" when i was 14
[04:55] <ikonia> riotkittie: me too
[04:55] <mnoir> ctqucl: so right now the group you want to add is in the groups file?
[04:55] <ctqucl> I create a new user ,but it can
[04:55] <ikonia> hjmills: yup - hence why I said "so"
[04:55] <linuxnewuserr> hey I jusst installed Ubuntu 6.10 (install was easy and fast)  I don't know how to compile or install apps

[04:58] <ikonia> SimonLoftus: right click
[04:58] <mena> i had a problem with firefox browser...i cant open any site and i dont use any proxy service...any one know why
[04:58] <linuxnewuserr> k
[04:58] <SimonLoftus> I can only find out how for files and apps
[04:58] <mnoir> ctqucl: you should fix user management too
[04:58] <linuxnewuserr> thanks
[04:58] <AlexC_> Hey,
[04:58] <riotkittie> desktop shortcut, SimonLoftus ?
[04:58] <SimonLoftus> yah
[04:58] <AlexC_> Has anyone used Gajim?
[04:58] <ikonia> SimonLoftus: strike that - there is no option on right click
[04:58] <ikonia> my mistake
[04:58] <SimonLoftus> :)
[04:58] <hjmills> should it really take 4 minutes to login to the freenode server?
[04:58] <SimonLoftus> hello again riot
[04:59] <mnoir> AlexC_: gajim??
[04:59] <SimonLoftus> no hjmills
[04:59] <I-kido> sudo apt-get install chatzilla flashplugin-nonfree
[04:59] <SimonLoftus> like 2 seconds for me
[04:59] <AlexC_> mnoir: yeah it's a fork of Gaim but works with Jabber, looks intresting.
[04:59] <jrib> SimonLoftus: just use "file" and provide the path to the directory
[04:59] <ctqucl> not group named users-admin,it's a gnome-system-tools
[04:59] <ikonia> hjmills: it can be slow if you have no reverse dns
[04:59] <AlexC_> mnoir: I was just wondering if I could connect to the MSN protocol thingy with Jabber?
[04:59] <SimonLoftus> it wouldnt lemme select the folder
[04:59] <SimonLoftus> let me try :)
[04:59] <hjmills> ikonia: how can i get reverse dns?
[04:59] <riotkittie> SimonLoftus, - try right clickind on the desktop > create launcher  and select DIRECTORY as the type?
[04:59] <eyalw> hi guys
[05:00] <SimonLoftus> i have no directory as type
[05:00] <ikonia> hjmills: speak to your isp - you may already have it and thats no the problem
[05:00] <mnoir> AlexC_: hmm - i use PSI already for jabber and icq
[05:00] <jrib> SimonLoftus: you're right, it won't let you select, but it works if you type it out
[05:00] <hjmills> ikonia: i am on tiscali - do they have it or dont you know?
[05:00] <AlexC_> mnoir: PSI, is that just another jabber client?
[05:00] <ctqucl> we can use users-admin create a kind of user named 'desktop-user', not I want to create a user that the power like the 'desktop-user'.
[05:00] <eyalw> I have installed ssh, but there's no .ssh dir, why?
[05:00] <riotkittie> hm.
[05:00] <jrib> SimonLoftus: you could also just have it run the command "nautilus /foo/bar"
[05:00] <ikonia> AlexC_: why have you come to an ubuntu support channel to talk about and ask for help on an app thats not in any of the ubuntu repo's
[05:00] <SimonLoftus> i got it :D
[05:00] <ikonia> hjmills: they should certainly have it
[05:00] <jakob> is there a way to "zoom out", without increasing resolution?
[05:01] <brice> hi there
[05:01] <SimonLoftus> i just selected the file inside the folder
[05:01] <mnoir> AlexC_: it does all im type things plus some other communications and services
[05:01] <brice> is there someone for tzll me what's wrong in my worg
[05:01] <SimonLoftus> then in properties on the shortcut went to the far right tab and changed it :)
[05:01] <adam_12> im realy new to ubuntu so i suk. i have run the command cat /proc/cpuinfo but i still cant tell if both my prosesors cores are being used (coz i dont know wat im looking at lol)
[05:01] <SimonLoftus> thanks jrib
[05:01] <brice> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/737/
[05:01] <lale> hey all
[05:01] <hjmills> ikonia: do i need to forward any ports on my router or would dyndns muck it up>
[05:01] <lale> I just installed feisty
[05:01] <lale> herd 1
[05:01] <lale> it rocks
[05:01] <ikonia> hjmills: ahhh that could be the problem
[05:01] <hjmills> ikonia: the dyndns?
[05:01] <ikonia> changing your forward dns name, will effect the zone it looks up on reverse
[05:02] <AlexC_> mnoir: do I have to have a jabber account to talk on MSN via jabber?
[05:02] <ctqucl> I want to konw which groups that 'desktop-user' add.
[05:02] <ikonia> hjmills: it "can" not "does" cause problems
[05:02] <jakob> brice, what happens when you boot?
[05:02] <riotkittie> adam_12, >> did it list one processor or two?
[05:02] <ikonia> AlexC_: ask the application support team for that app
[05:02] <hjmills> ikonia: so if i forwarded the ports for irc to my pc would that fix it?
[05:02] <eyalw> I have installed ssh, but there's no .ssh dir, why?>??
[05:02] <ikonia> hjmills: probably not
[05:02] <mnoir> ctqucl: sorry i am still having problems understanding - you do not want to create a duplicate of desktop user or you DO want to create a duplicate?
[05:02] <lale> Just a question: the update utility tells me I should do a dist-upgrade.  Why? Should I say OK?
[05:03] <adam_12> riotkittie: only one
[05:03] <brice> jakob, boot information on the second screen
[05:03] <ctqucl> yes mnoir ,have same power.
[05:03] <brice> jakob, after i only have the first screen. impossible to have the second
[05:03] <narvik86> eyalw: how do you check for .ssh folder?
[05:03] <riotkittie> adam_12, then i will venture a guess that only one processor is being used
[05:03] <hjmills> ikonia: bummerz
[05:03] <SimonLoftus> brice, is there an ok button but u cant use it with enter?
[05:03] <mena> i had a problem with firefox browser...i cant open any site and i dont use any proxy service...any one know why....And Iam The Root user
[05:04] <ctqucl> because my users-admin is broken ,so I can
[05:04] <I-kido> lale it should be ok to upgrade, I see no harm in renewing ur system :)
[05:04] <cornell> Hi...  Trying to install keepassx, from source.  The install instructions on their site say to unpack it, run qmake, then make, and then make install.  I don't seem to have qmake.  What does it do, and is there a ubuntu "native" utility that does the same?
[05:04] <hjmills> ikonia: could that also muck up gaim logging into google talk?
[05:04] <eyalw> narvik86: I looked for it in my home directory, after revealing the hidden folders
[05:04] <ctqucl> so I can't create the user by it
[05:04] <jakob> brice did you make the xorg.conf with "nvidia settings"?
[05:04] <adam_12> riotkittie: lol i kinda guessed that. so hw do i get them both working?
[05:04] <brice> SimonLoftus, ???
[05:04] <brice> jakob, i think
[05:04] <lale> I-kido: uhm OK.  But don't I have the feisty repos already? What repositories is he going to activate?
[05:04] <SimonLoftus> brice, <brice> jakob, after i only have the first screen. impossible to have the second
[05:04] <mnoir> ctqucl: ok you will need to do 3 things - use the useradd command to add new user, second - make alterations in one line in /etc/passwd, third, add user to correct groups in /etc/groups
[05:04] <brice> SimonLoftus, jakob i have 2 Pci Cards
[05:05] <narvik86> eyalw: i have there only one file know_hosts, so probably directory will be crated after few connections
[05:05] <I-kido> lale feisty is beta, i wouldn't upgrade yet
[05:05] <I-kido> lale unless u r a developper :0
[05:05] <riotkittie> adam_12, i wouldnt know. try searching the forums . there is a wealth of knowledge there.
[05:05] <lale> I-kido: I'm currently running feisty
[05:05] <Prt9> hi, is bluetooth dongle supported by ubuntu?
[05:06] <mnoir> ctqucl: also a different native language support group may be easier for you :)
[05:06] <lale> I-kido: I just installed it from scratch (herd 1)
[05:06] <jakob> brice, which of them doesn't work?
[05:06] <ikonia> adam_12: have you worked out if its one cpu or 2
[05:06] <mnoir> ctqucl: and me :)
[05:06] <eyalw> narvik86: i see... hmm, i'm reading a tutorial about ssh, and they explain how to create encripted keys and place them inside .ssh
[05:06] <droide> bonjour
[05:06] <lukillas> well, i instaled sun-java5-plugin but it did not show in firefox when i entered about:plugins
[05:06] <lale> I-kido: no problems in it being unstable
[05:06] <SimonLoftus> bonjour
[05:06] <ctqucl> I just want to know which groups  I need,because I lost the one I have.
[05:06] <eyalw> narvik86: what are u suggesting
[05:06] <SimonLoftus> more like bonsoir though, its all dark here
[05:06] <jrib> lukillas: did you restart firefox?
[05:06] <I-kido> lale feisty will be released in april
[05:06] <brice> jakob, the second (but it works when i boot. or when i do ctrl + Alt + F1)
[05:06] <lukillas> jrib: yes i did
[05:06] <Prt9> can ubuntu support bluetootch dongle?
[05:07] <jrib> lukillas: what does 'apt-cache policy sun-java5-plugin | grep -i installed' say?
[05:07] <narvik86> eyalw: i you use ssh to connect to remote machine, first connection will take smth like fingerprint, and store it in .ssh/knows_hosts
[05:07] <brice> droide, BOnsoir comment vas tu?
[05:07] <mnoir> ctqucl: to find them you need to look inside /etc/groups
[05:07] <jakob> brice, do you get a clone if you do ctrl + alt + F1?
[05:07] <I-kido> lale: edgy runs fine, u could give it a try :)
[05:07] <SimonLoftus> Prt9, try checking on the forums
[05:07] <ikonia> why are people with NO uderstanding of ubuntu or linux in general so keen to upgrade to things that are a.) unstable b.) they have no idea what they are upgrading to
[05:07] <narvik86> eyalw: so it will be created after at least one connection
[05:07] <droide> un franais, cool ! bonsoir brice
[05:07] <mnoir> ctqucl: it will tell you what groups a user belongs to
[05:07] <lukillas> jrib: says nothing

[05:08] <mnoir> ctqucl: does this help?
[05:08] <jakob> brice, and vice versa before you do ctrl alt f1?
[05:08] <ikonia> AlexC_: ubuntu doesn't support that app
[05:08] <ikonia> AlexC_: email or join the support discussion group for that application
[05:08] <brice> jakob, yes
[05:08] <lale> I-kido: it was just a question about strange behaviour of the system update app
[05:08] <riotkittie> lale,  /please/ tell me that you are not using feisty as your primary/only OS :P
[05:08] <I-kido> lale: feisty want to upgrade to what ?

[05:13] <riotkittie> what program, Slart
[05:13] <jakob> brice, if the second monitor works when you do ctrl alt f1, I don't think the xorg.conf is the problem

[05:13] <hjmills> mwe - brilliant thanks
[05:13] <mena> ikonia, ubuntu christian edition

[05:14] <IRCMonkey> hi
[05:14] <jrib> rkgl: hi, what is the problem exactly?
[05:14] <alink1000> ahem... is ark or file-roller in add/remove applications?
[05:14] <sedra> what's the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu Christian??
[05:14] <ikonia> AlexC_: ubuntu doesn't support it
[05:14] <jakob> brice, have you tried writing a new xorg.conf from a template=
[05:14] <hjmills> mwe - meh - i can live with that if it works
[05:14] <ikonia> mena: its not its CE
[05:14] <pjpeter>  sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hdc1
[05:14] <mena> ikonia, okay sorry
[05:14] <alink1000> nvm, I found it. :)
[05:14] <mwe> hjmills: it does. and it works fast as well
[05:14] <mnoir> ctqucl: if you can logon as a user that is good, and then execute the command 'id', you can see all it's groups
[05:15] <skmidry__> how do I connect to a wireless AP on my HP laptop via WEP as it has a ipw3945 chipset
[05:15] <rkgl> jrib: when I run sudo I get the message "is not in the sudoers file"
[05:15] <IRCMonkey> !aircrack
[05:15] <ubotu> aircrack: wireless WEP/WPA cracker. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.3-3 (edgy), package size 136 kB, installed size 372 kB
[05:15] <AlexC_> ikonia: .... Canonical/Ubuntu don't support it as in they help develope, no, but thats the same with thousands of apps in the repos.
[05:15] <jrib> rkgl: is this the first user that you created during install?
[05:15] <mena> ikonia, now what is the problem bec i was openeing the browser and i was open sites normaly
[05:15] <skmidry__> I'm using dapper <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:15] <ikonia> AlexC_: http://trac.gajim.org/newticket
[05:15] <mwe> hjmills: and at least invalid lookups get you to a google search page with the opendns front end
[05:15] <mena> ikonia, what happened
[05:15] <reverseblade> !wep | skmidry__
[05:15] <rkgl> jrib: yes
[05:15] <ubotu> skmidry__: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:15] <ikonia> AlexC_: no- this channel support ubuntu and ubuntu related packages - not random 3rd party ones that you've built yourself
[05:15] <jrib> rkgl: please tell us the output you get from the 'groups' command
[05:15] <rkgl> jrib: it worked even the last time I logged in
[05:16] <ikonia> mena: stop talking to me please
[05:16] <ctqucl> however,I want to remove the groups that I add but it's not nessary
[05:16] <AlexC_> ikonia: I have not built it my self at all. It's in the repos!
[05:16] <mena> ikonia, ok as you like thanks
[05:16] <ikonia> AlexC_: is it ? - which ones
[05:16] <jakob> brice, have you tried configuring xorg.conf for each monitor, one at the time?
[05:16] <rkgl> jrib: the output is rkgl, audio
[05:16] <wheels3572> mnoir, does that include updates that I installed through the update icon up by the clock that's in synaptic that your talking about?
[05:16] <jrib> pjpeter: if it's ext3, jus use chown and chmod to give whatever permissions you want to it

[05:17] <ubotu> adam_12: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:17] <ikonia> adam_12: perhaps asking that before ignoring what I said would have been better

[05:17] <ubotu> adam_12: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:17] <ikonia> and I can see the problem already
[05:17] <GuerrillaWon> Mind if I paste a small bit of error text to see if anyone can't point me in the right direction?Package nspluginwrapper is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:17] <GuerrillaWon> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[05:17] <GuerrillaWon> is only available from another source
[05:17] <GuerrillaWon> Oh man I'm sorry
[05:17] <riotkittie> pasting it here is 1 - annoying  2 - fairly pointless  because nobodys going to be able to follow it , the way the chan moves

[05:17] <GuerrillaWon> I tried to pastebin that.

[05:18] <brice> jakob, yes and it works
[05:18] <ubuntux> someone know how to sync a symbian phone with evolution with usb?

[05:19] <GuerrillaWon> My apologies

[05:19] <ikonia> AlexC_: yeah, I see it, my mistake - sorry
[05:19] <alink1000> when I tried ark that is
[05:19] <ikonia> alink1000: please watch your language
[05:19] <ikonia> I don't need to see that
[05:19] <brice> jakob, yes i have it
[05:19] <alink1000> I didn't even say it...
[05:19] <alink1000> =|
[05:19] <ikonia> "wtf"
[05:19] <alink1000> nothing wrong with that, but okay.
[05:20] <AlexC_> ikonia: can I ask for help now it's in the repos? :P
[05:20] <alink1000> anyways, can someone please give me a solution to this thing?
[05:20] <jakob> brice, does it recognise the second screen?
[05:20] <ikonia> AlexC_: well I doubt any ones going to be in a position to help - but sure. My mistake
[05:20] <GuerrillaWon> Can someone take a look at this and maybe point me in the right direction? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/753/plain/

[05:21] <mnoir> ctqucl: bos group is not needed for you
[05:21] <jrib> though I don't think any #ubuntu channel I know of can help you with that
[05:21] <riotkittie> uh. did he just say he was looking for sex chat?  <shakes head>
[05:21] <ctqucl> waiting ,let me have a look  mnoir
[05:21] <mnoir> ctqucl: :)
[05:21] <alink1000> "The  utility 7za is not in your PATH.
[05:22] <alink1000> Please install it or contact your system administrator."
[05:22] <alink1000> that's what the error is when I tried 7zip on ark.
[05:22] <adam_12> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/752/
[05:22] <ikonia> alink1000: jesus - the error is pretty clear
[05:22] <mnoir> alink1000: then install it
[05:22] <ikonia> the command 7za is not in your path
[05:22] <alink1000> how do I install it?
[05:22] <ikonia> alink1000: at what point will you ever stop asking basic questions and start reading the wiki and the howtos
[05:22] <ikonia> your really becoming a pain "how do i......" constantly
[05:22] <mnoir> !software | alink1000
[05:22] <ubotu> alink1000: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents and !Offline
[05:23] <riotkittie> wait. you chastize someone for saying 'wtf' but are free to say 'jesus'
[05:23] <jakob> brice, judging from your corg.conf, I don't see any problems, but then again I'm fairly new to linux. The only thing I recommend right now is looking for some tutorials if you haven't already, or find somebody with a similar setup and steal their xorg.conf and then adjust it to your system. If that doesn't work, I think it's almost sure to say it's not your xorg.conf.
[05:23] <ikonia> riotkittie: touch'e apologies
[05:23] <riotkittie>  which some find offensive? :P
[05:23] <alink1000> A real pain? wow this support is horrible, and you're an asshole. =|
[05:23] <mnoir> ikonia: when we stop telling him how to do elementary stuff :)
[05:23] <riotkittie> not that i care. i just like to play devil's advocate ;)
[05:23] <ikonia> mnoir: yet - we keep telling him
[05:23] <user01> jrib: thanks it works now
[05:23] <ikonia> riotkittie: its a fair point he's just becoming annoying
[05:23] <brice> jakob, thanks
[05:23] <jrib> user01: great
[05:23] <riotkittie> hehehehehee
[05:24] <mnoir> mostly :)
[05:24] <islan> anyone ever have problems with a infinite loop using make?
[05:24] <user01> jrib: wow it even works with some wmv
[05:24] <mnoir> !anyone | islan
[05:24] <ubotu> islan: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:24] <ikonia> islan: normally caused by out of sync clock
[05:24] <islan> ikonia, that's why I figured, but I thought I fixed it.  I'll check once again.  (how accurate does it need to be?)
[05:25] <ctqucl> thank you , mnoir ,that's I need :)
[05:25] <mnoir> ikonia: see? like that!
[05:25] <mnoir> ctqucl: good - now help answer the next question :)
[05:25] <ikonia> mnoir: yeah - but the other guy asks like 100 things a day because its easier to be spoon fed than read anything on the basics
[05:25] <ikonia> his first quesiton was how to login
[05:25] <ikonia> come on......
[05:25] <mnoir> ikonia: :(
[05:25] <Anakin> hello I am new tu kubuntu and I want a few tips if u can help me...first of all where is the /etc/inittab file the one we use to choose the runlevel that we want to boot in...and second...how do I activate or deactivate services...for example I installed the telnetd server and I cant start it....

[05:29] <rkgl> jrib: I am having problems with my sound as well
[05:29] <islan> system time of 11:32 EST on 1/7/2007
[05:30] <riotkittie> breaking the norm how?
[05:30] <rkgl> jrib: are there any good resources on the web to look into
[05:30] <jrib> rkgl: sound in everything?
[05:30] <rkgl> yes
[05:30] <ikonia> riotkittie: changing form traditional init system in a mainstream distro, implimenting the blockid ata branch before its really set as accepted within the kernel branch
[05:30] <jrib> !sound | rkgl
[05:30] <ubotu> rkgl: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[05:31] <ikonia> riotkittie: just a pain for old school chaps
[05:31] <riotkittie> ikonia, ah
[05:31] <ikonia> in dev or small distros - its cool and interesting but mainstream distros are a bit of a pain
[05:31] <ctqucl> I don't have the group 'accounting' and 'admin',and I choose the others ,thank you very much, mnoir
[05:32] <rkgl> jrib: yes, I found Alsa is selected, i will look into the resources
[05:32] <mnoir> ctqucl: yes - those are special groups for me :)
[05:32] <mnoir> ctqucl: is working?
[05:32] <sorush20> hi now do I write a .img files it's a dvd image file
[05:32] <mnoir> ctqucl: why you do not have admin??
[05:33] <mnoir> ctqucl: should need for sudo!
[05:33] <riotkittie> ubuntu kinda scares me. i worry that theyre gonna dumb it down to increase the appeal
[05:33] <mnoir> riotkittie: that would be hard to do
[05:33] <ctqucl> I can
[05:33] <svish> riotkittie: dumb it down?
[05:33] <Music_Shuffle> Its possible to dumb it down -more-?
[05:33] <ikonia> riotkittie: yup
[05:33] <riotkittie> yes, svish
[05:33] <ikonia> or make it so different that old school business/users won't touch it
[05:33] <svish> how?
[05:34] <flodinee> can someone help me change my port for mail in evolution?
[05:34] <riotkittie> mnoir, why do you think it would be hard to do?
[05:34] <riotkittie> brb. gotta go do the mommy thing
[05:34] <ctqucl> I can't use some gnome-system-tools,maybe because of this. mnoir
[05:34] <PurpleMunkz> hmm.. can somebody tell me of an easy way to setup keyboard shortcuts in gnome?
[05:34] <svish> wouldnt say making a system easier to use is the same as dumbing it down..
[05:34] <faeryNatsuki> i need to make a bash script, and launch from it a program, but i need to pass the arguments the script received to the launched app? how can i do that?
[05:35] <Music_Shuffle> PurpleMunkz, simple? System -> Prefs -> Keyboard Shortcuts
[05:35] <mnoir> riotkittie: all the dumbdown would have to occur at the ui level and would not have to touch the underlying system.  if they stray from the debial standard layout, support will be very expensive and hard to cannonical
[05:35] <islan> picky picky
[05:35] <PurpleMunkz> ok, so I have looked at that app before..  what's with all the hex codes as shortcut commands?
[05:35] <sorush20> !ccd2iso
[05:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ccd2iso - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:35] <SOMEONE> hi. i wonder if someone could help me a little?
[05:36] <mnoir> riotkittie: therefore, they can dumbdown all they want and it cannot affect the appeal to those who want to work at the less dumb levels
[05:36] <islan> what's the prob, SOMEONE ?
[05:36] <SOMEONE> about ati 9250 tvout casing white screen on primary display?
[05:36] <riotkittie> mnoir ah good point ;p
[05:37] <SOMEONE> without tvout the monitor screen is ok
[05:37] <ikonia> islan: whats up
[05:37] <faeryNatsuki> could you help me?
[05:37] <mnoir> riotkittie: if you really want an extreme view, linux .9 has been progressively dumbed down to get to today's distributions
[05:37] <riotkittie> mnoir, heh.
[05:37] <ikonia> mnoir: linux .9 ?
[05:37] <mnoir> riotkittie: X is a dumbing down...

[05:38] <jrib> faeryNatsuki: google for the "advanced bash scripting howto"

[05:42] <socorrista_ach> he starts with server editition and i want generic edition
[05:42] <adub> maybe linux-source ??
[05:42] <JH-> When installing ubuntu, it gets to 46% and freezes reading the CD
[05:42] <JH-> I did a "check CD" and it installs this way
[05:42] <JH-> never gets any farther
[05:42] <JH-> bad burn?
[05:42] <ikonia> socorrista_ach: they are the same ting
[05:42] <ikonia> thing
[05:42] <compengi> JH-, yeah probably
[05:42] <islan> JH, perhaps, check the md5-thingy
[05:42] <ctqucl> /sleep
[05:42] <socorrista_ach> no they're
[05:43] <socorrista_ach> not
[05:43] <socorrista_ach> because i have a nvidia
[05:43] <ikonia> just different packages
[05:43] <socorrista_ach> e hangs up in server mode
[05:43] <compengi> JH-, try to burn it on 4x
[05:43] <socorrista_ach> and runs perfectly in generic
[05:43] <JH-> I ran out of blank cds
[05:43] <ikonia> "server mode" - do you mean you have installed the "server" build
[05:43] <socorrista_ach> yes
[05:43] <socorrista_ach> it installed by itself
[05:44] <JH-> can I install an ISO onto a DVD?
[05:44] <socorrista_ach> i just need to change prioritys
[05:44] <riotkittie> sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub.menu.lst.old && sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:44] <ikonia> are you sure  - it can#t install by its self
[05:44] <ikonia> what priorities ?
[05:44] <riotkittie> yea, how does something install by itself?
[05:44] <socorrista_ach> lol
[05:44] <socorrista_ach> when i installed it
[05:44] <TheGateKeeper> adub, if you run firefox, it has a package search engine built in
[05:45] <ikonia> socorrista_ach: I don't understand what your talking about at all
[05:45] <ctqucl> Good night ,some one :)
[05:45] <riotkittie> i believe he's talking about boot order
[05:45] <socorrista_ach> when i install ubuntu it installed two versions
[05:45] <ikonia> no it didn't
[05:45] <socorrista_ach> server end generic
[05:45] <ikonia> no it didn't
[05:45] <chris> i have a quick question if anyone is willing to help out
[05:45] <riotkittie> you did something.
[05:45] <ikonia> you can only do one install at a time
[05:45] <riotkittie> hehehehe
[05:46] <socorrista_ach> i can choose if i press escape when is starting up
[05:46] <socorrista_ach> problably
[05:46] <faeryNatsuki> jrib: s/howto/guide was a link? it seems to be incomplete
[05:46] <ikonia> what ??/
[05:46] <TheGateKeeper> !ask | chris
[05:46] <ubotu> chris: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:46] <socorrista_ach> how can i undoit
[05:46] <ikonia> what are you talking about
[05:46] <chris> lol okay :)
[05:46] <user01> how can i verify if the driver automatically installed for my graphics card is the most appropriate/recent?
[05:46] <riotkittie> are you sure one is server and the other is desktop?
[05:46] <socorrista_ach> yes
[05:46] <riotkittie> and theyre not both desktop with different kernels?
[05:46] <socorrista_ach> right now im on generic
[05:46] <ikonia> riotkittie: how can he have 2 installs at once
[05:46] <ikonia> impossible
[05:47] <socorrista_ach> server doesnt start up with nvidia drivers
[05:47] <socorrista_ach> i dont know
[05:47] <ikonia> socorrista_ach: it won't
[05:47] <ikonia> because server doesn't install X
[05:47] <chris> I downloaded quake 3 today, it came in 5 .rar's and i extracted that, and now its a .exe file, which im assuming is a .exe archive with the game files inside. How can I open this exe archive?
[05:47] <socorrista_ach> oh yes it does and thats my problem
[05:47] <ikonia> chris sounds like a warez
[05:47] <riotkittie> ikonia >> two installs at the same time as in simultaneously putting both on?
[05:47] <socorrista_ach> it shouldnt
[05:47] <ikonia> socorrista_ach: then you don't know what your saying - the server doesn't install X
[05:48] <chris> yea i got it from a warez site
[05:48] <ikonia> riotkittie: similtanious
[05:48] <lostboyz> i get this error when compiling and all requirements are met
[05:48] <ikonia> chii: then don't use warez
[05:48] <lostboyz> i am trying to install something via tarball but the configuration script says i need dependencies, but they are all there.  what do i do? it also says Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
[05:48] <riotkittie> no. server doenst come with X, dude.
[05:48] <chris> is there a way to open exe archives?
[05:48] <ikonia> lostboyz: adjust the variable
[05:48] <ikonia> chris don't discuss warez
[05:48] <lostboyz> how do i do that?
[05:48] <ikonia> lostboyz: you should know if your building software
[05:48] <riotkittie> socorrista_ach, >> had you been drinking during or prior to your ubuntu install?
[05:48] <chris> okay, well how do i open .exe archives in general
[05:48] <socorrista_ach> im going to try to edit the boot file
[05:49] <ikonia> chris don't discuss warez
[05:49] <socorrista_ach> thank u all
[05:49] <chris> k
[05:49] <riotkittie> :P
[05:49] <mooey> whats the best way to install an autopackage package (!)?
[05:49] <mooey> !autopackage
[05:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about autopackage - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:50] <mnoir> !elaborate | mooey
[05:50] <ubotu> mooey: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[05:50] <chris> go to its properties and make it executable, then just double click
[05:50] <ikonia> chris don't discuss warez
[05:50] <lostboyz> yes i know i should know, but i am a new user at this and the program i want is not prepackaged
[05:50] <riotkittie> i love it when people who have no clue what theyre talking about are adamant that they do know what theyre talking about
[05:50] <ikonia> lostboyz: get support from the program developers / support
[05:50] <riotkittie> and then act like youre delusional when you point out simple truths ;p
[05:50] <ikonia> riotkittie: it made no sense
[05:50] <riotkittie> hahahahahahaha
[05:50] <chris> ikonia: i was answering someones question
[05:51] <mooey> chris, mine?
[05:51] <chris> ikonia: they asked how to open an autopackage
[05:51] <ikonia> I stand corrected
[05:51] <chris> yes mooey
[05:51] <mooey> thank you, chris :-)
[05:51] <drivera90> !equivalents
[05:51] <ubotu> A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant
[05:51] <chris> mooey: go to its properties and make it executable, then just double click
[05:51] <riotkittie> or when they use the "it installed itself!" excuse.
[05:52] <chris> mooey: np
[05:52] <riotkittie> that's always a good one ;p
[05:52] <ikonia> riotkittie: never heard that before
[05:52] <larrysage> my ubuntu 6.06 has been reloaded many times.. it quits when I get to the desktop, I think it may be because of my mainboard. I have an all in one via vt82c686 which works great with windows. but want to change...any ideas
[05:52] <ikonia> larrysage: check on the ubuntu hcl if its supported
[05:52] <ikonia> !hcl | larrysage
[05:52] <ubotu> larrysage: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:52] <chris> larrysage: im using a via board, linux works fine
[05:52] <larrysage> hcl is what?
[05:52] <GuerrillaWon> Geeze who would have thought reading through all the community documentation on Ubuntu would be so... helpfull.
[05:52] <ikonia> chris depends on the chipset
[05:52] <lightman> larrysage: seems strange that ubuntu is not working beacuse of a mobo
[05:53] <ikonia> lightman: not if the chips not supported it doesn't
[05:53] <chris> same chipset that was just mentioned
[05:53] <chris> c686
[05:53] <larrysage> is a thing with the via chipset as i understand it
[05:53] <ikonia> chris then you are spot on
[05:53] <lightman> okonia: ubuntu supports majority of recent mobo
[05:53] <ikonia> lightman: but not all
[05:53] <lightman> ikonia:true
[05:53] <ikonia> hence why i said check the hcl - make sure its listed then we can move o n
[05:53] <ikonia> rather than just assuming it supported it
[05:54] <mnoir> or you assuming it doesn't :)
[05:54] <larrysage> im wondering why when i load it it loads and runs beautifully ...why then can i not keep the drivers that it is using to setup?
[05:54] <ikonia> mnoir: yup - you remove the doubt/question
[05:54] <ikonia> larrysage: what makes you think its via
[05:54] <mnoir> larrysage: in a perfect world...
[05:55] <Tox> hi, what is the last debian distr ?
[05:55] <ikonia> tox /join #debian
[05:55] <Tox> ok tnx
[05:55] <mnoir> bet it is right in their title...
[05:55] <ikonia> yup
[05:56] <riotkittie> hehe
[05:56] <ikonia> or on the main webpage
[05:56] <ikonia> I hate that sort of thing - its super lazy
[05:56] <mnoir> ikonia: that would require understanding teh intarnets
[05:56] <ikonia> he he
[05:57] <jonah1980> hi can anyone please help me out just to get something through my video card, i don't know what to do: http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_310i   that's my card but when i run tvtuner or whatever nothing is there
[05:57] <larrysage> i have another machine and it has never had a glitch.. i have checked out the via info and it shows that there are drivers to be added but I am so new to this that I do not knw how to add them
[05:57] <mnoir> ikonia: seriously, ubuntu's extreme politeness policing does encourage the annoying behaviors we have been discussing
[05:57] <riotkittie> i should compile the intarnets
[05:57] <s1`_> hi, where does the file go after i finish editing crontab with crontab -e?
[05:57] <ikonia> mnoir: I'm all for helping but this turns into the general no nothing channel at times
[05:57] <scifi> hi guys finally got my fresh install of Edgy after upgrading from Dapper went awry. I remember on Dapper i had to edit a file to change my monitors refresh rate to 75 from 60. can someone remind which file it is ?
[05:58] <ikonia> scifi: xorg.conf
[05:58] <scifi> ty
[05:58] <mnoir> scifi: be vewy vewy careful - /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:58] <riotkittie> i have to admit. one of ubuntu's biggest selling points for me would be the community and the fact that everyone is really cool
[05:58] <chris> agreed
[05:58] <riotkittie> but man. sometimes i just want to shake some of these people
[05:58] <chris> its as though everyone is one big happy family lol
[05:59] <riotkittie> then bludgeon them with a stack of HOW-TOs
[05:59] <faeryNatsuki> thanks jrib, that's what i needed :) see you bye
[06:00] <scifi> i remember now, i just need to put my monitors manufacturers refresh rate ranges in
[06:00] <riotkittie> hehe
[06:00] <serishema> i'm having problems with apt-get and synaptic and the like
[06:00] <jrib> scifi: man crontab  claims /var/spool/cron/crontabs
[06:00] <scoobtube> i don't even know how to use apt-get
[06:00] <riotkittie> serishema, what kind of problems?
[06:00] <jrib> s1`_: man crontab  claims /var/spool/cron/crontabs
[06:00] <serishema> for some reason after a crash, apt-get just goes back to the prompt without displaying anything when i try to install anything
[06:00] <scoobtube> this is my first linux installation
[06:00] <serishema> no error message or hint of any kind
[06:00] <serishema> aptitude also fails
[06:00] <ikonia> scoobtube: then thats surly a warning to read up in it
[06:01] <mnoir> serishema: nothing? no message at all?
[06:01] <serishema> no message at all
[06:01] <castoff> serishema: tried apt-get update?
[06:01] <scoobtube> ikonia, yeah, that's what i'm doing.  judging by the reactions here, i'm kinda scared to ask a question
[06:01] <s1`_> jrib, many thanks!
[06:01] <maney> quux: shouldn't generic names such as us.archive.ubuntu.com be setup to round-robin to all the region's repositories?  at least this morning that seems not to be working (I noticed this because the repo us.archive points at is horribly slow this morning - might be maintenance window there?)
[06:01] <serishema> same result
[06:01] <riotkittie> scoobtube sudo apt-get <package name>   to install, sudo apt-cache search <term> to search by keyword. man apt for more info
[06:01] <jonah1980> hello anyone who can help me out please? i just wanna watch a bit of tv on my computer with http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_310i   this card
[06:01] <castoff> serishema: apt-cace search work?
[06:02] <castoff> apt-cache even
[06:02] <mnoir> riotkittie: see for that i would have piped !software
[06:02] <chrissturm> is there a decent wiki software in ubuntu main?
[06:02] <maney> er, that was s'posed to be Q:, forgot it would expand on me
[06:02] <serishema> yes
[06:02] <maney> chrissturm: yeah, several
[06:02] <riotkittie> mnoir,  ahh
[06:02] <chrissturm> mediawiki seems to be in universe
[06:02] <chrissturm> maney: can you name some?
[06:02] <maney> though of course "decent" is so much a matter of taste
[06:03] <castoff> serishema: sorry stumped me
[06:03] <maney> the wiki component of Trak is pretty good, though not my first choice as a wiki
[06:03] <chrissturm> trac is not in main
[06:03] <wolfgang_> ubotu: thanks for the Windows equivalent links, very helpful
[06:03] <chrissturm> is it?
[06:03] <maney> and I was going to say that moin was included, but now i think about it I'm not certain I've set that up on an Ubuntu box, so maybe it's in unverse too
[06:03] <mnoir> wolfgang_: you are thanking a bot :)
[06:04] <maney> isn't?  hmmm
[06:04] <serishema> there seems to be an undeletable file at /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[06:04] <maney> maybe I've only set those up on Sarge machines, then
[06:04] <serishema> i'm going to try running the riser fs check utility i suspect a corrupted filesystem
[06:04] <mnoir> serishema: delete with sudo
[06:04] <chrissturm> i think the ubuntu wiki uses mediawiki
[06:04] <maney> if neither is in main I'm really going to have to reconsider using Ubuntu for the new server after all
[06:05] <serishema> mnior: the delete appears to succeed but the file is still there
[06:05] <maney> yeah, I don't really like mediawiki
[06:05] <chrissturm> ubuntu main doenst even contain the packages that ubuntu.org uses :)
[06:05] <mnoir> serishema: you may be right about bad fs - reiser is not 10000% proof
[06:05] <wolfgang_> mnoir: chat newbie here, second day ever on a chat forum and I have just embarassed myself quite well
[06:06] <maney> nah, says moin is in main
[06:06] <mnoir> wolfgang_: naa - everybody does it :)
[06:06] <aimtrainer__> hi can anyone tell me please how to create a link in the shell (I mean a link to a folder)
[06:06] <jrib> chrissturm: ubuntu wiki is moinmoin
[06:06] <maney> but yeah, trac is universe.  bummer
[06:06] <chrissturm> jrib: ah, cool
[06:06] <chrissturm> moinmoin is in main, i will use that
[06:06] <riotkittie> ok, enough X for me. brb
[06:06] <mnoir> wolfgang_: try /msg ubotu    -  you can get a lot of good info
[06:06] <serishema> found the problem
[06:07] <serishema> sudo is broken
[06:07] <serishema> if i su to root it works
[06:07] <magical_trevsky> is there a way to limit the cpu usage a program is allowed when it's already running?
[06:07] <mnoir> serishema: how is it broken?
[06:07] <maney> yeah, I like moin a lot.  only partly because I can hack little extensions in a decent labguage :-)
[06:07] <castoff> magical_trevsky: renice
[06:07] <mnoir> serishema: do you need a good sudoers file?
[06:08] <magical_trevsky> castoff, awesome, thanks
[06:08] <larrysage> Im back again my prosavage video is not listed in the hcl... what do I do to give it a generic driver?
[06:09] <serishema> is there a way to back out of installing a package when it crashed half way through
[06:09] <serishema> doing dpkg --configure -a caused the system to crash
[06:10] <maney> dpkg --remove ?
[06:11] <castoff> larrysage: is there a xserver-xorg-video-savage package you can use?
[06:12] <serishema> i don't want to delete what's already there though, i just want the package manager to forget about it.
[06:12] <serishema> i have a bit of an obsecure case
[06:12] <serishema> i'm running ubuntu under colinux and installing x11-common is known to cause a blue screen
[06:12] <serishema> but i needed xsetroot from it
[06:12] <killown> Hey where I found list server for mldonkey?
[06:12] <wolfgang_> question to all:  What I need is a linux download manager that has the equivalent functionality, sophistication, and easy to use gui functionality of the program "Free Download Manager" in Windows.  If anyone has personal experience with linux download manager that really works and is not quirky, I am all eyes.
[06:13] <serishema> have you tried kget?
[06:13] <mnoir> serishema: -r or --purge one specific package and then reinstall if you want
[06:13] <mena> i cant acsses any site throw fire fox any one know why ....
[06:13] <serishema> mnoir: but reinstalling it will cause a blue screen again and exactly the same will happen again?
[06:13] <castoff> larrysage: did you get that?
[06:14] <mnoir> serishema: maybe, i dunno - what package is giving you such problems?
[06:14] <serishema> x11-common
[06:14] <serishema> it's a known problem with colinux
[06:14] <maney> serishema: sounds like you need to do a non-managed install of the part you want
[06:14] <mnoir> oic
[06:14] <wolfgang_> serishema:  I have not tried any linux ones yet, I trying to zero in on one.
[06:14] <mwe> serishema: you can download .debs and extract them
[06:14] <serishema> that might be a way out of this.
[06:14] <mwe> serishema: dpkg -x blah.deb
[06:15] <mnoir> serishema: or install from console instead of terminal
[06:15] <hjmills> mwe: cant file-roller also read debs?
[06:15] <mwe> hjmills: maybe so
[06:15] <angelo> hi all
[06:15] <confrey> hi everybody
[06:15] <angelo> hi
[06:15] <islan> hi angelo , confrey
[06:15] <mnoir> 1hi
[06:15] <hjmills> mwe: i seem to remember it was always the default action for firefox when you downloaded debs
[06:15] <mnoir> !hi
[06:15] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:15] <cyclebrock> Hello
[06:16] <mnoir> a thousand more ppl need to say hi....
[06:16] <timmae> hi
[06:16] <darkroast> ok, so when I hover over the date & time in ubuntu, it says "Click here to view your appointments and tasks" -- when I click, all I get is the little calendar.  How do I add appointments and tasks?
[06:16] <hjmills> can anybody recommend a gtk instant messenger client like gaim but not gaim?
[06:16] <larrysage> sorry castoff I missed it
[06:16] <ikonia> gtk based - touch
[06:16] <jrib> darkroast: in evolution
[06:16] <ikonia> depends what protocols you want
[06:16] <castoff> larrysage: is there a xserver-xorg-video-savage
[06:16] <darkroast> ah, thanks
[06:16] <darkroast> too bad I'm not using evolution :-)
[06:16] <ikonia> touch ?? tough I meant
[06:16] <confrey> anybody from germany, or france?
[06:17] <maney> serishema: would running inside vmware work for what you need to do?  there's a free version of that now (I think it's available for Windows-hosted too)
[06:17] <larrysage> yes I have found one but I dont know how to install it.. i have it on a disk
[06:17] <mwe> hjmills: I guess you don't like gaim?
[06:17] <hjmills> ikonia: well i use msn and google talk (jabber)
[06:17] <mnoir> !anyone | confrey
[06:17] <timmae> hjmills, i use AMSN and Kopete
[06:17] <ubotu> confrey: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:17] <serishema> maney: the idea was to avoid the overhead of emulating actual hardware
[06:17] <cyclebrock> Vmware, there is a free version of the server. very slick
[06:17] <angelo> kopete is nice
[06:17] <hjmills> mwe: its giving me more errors than i can even start to try and fix
[06:17] <mwe> timmae: I don't think they're gtk
[06:17] <serishema> maney: i was using virtual server, but it reduced my laptop battery life too much
[06:17] <castoff> larrysage: apt-get install
[06:17] <mwe> hjmills: oh
[06:17] <mwe> hjmills: odd
[06:18] <confrey> because I need to chat with somebody from Germany, or France.... I'm a ubuntu user, but I need to chat about other problems...
[06:18] <maney> serishema: back to manual install, then, I guess :-/
[06:18] <hjmills> mwe: i may try purging it and reinstalling it
[06:18] <larrysage> ok that is from the manual screen in the startup?
[06:18] <mwe> confrey: try #ubuntu-de and #ubuntu-fr
[06:18] <castoff> larrysage: from a terminal? yes
[06:18] <cyclebrock> Just curious if anybody has luck with edgy and laptop suspending
[06:18] <mnoir> confrey: in english?  i am not in europe but you might have better luck in the de or fr channels
[06:19] <larrysage> ok then I will be able to do it..but it is on my cd rom..what if it is not mounted?
[06:19] <ikonia> cyclebrock: yes
[06:19] <mwe> hjmills: I doubt that will help. maybe reset it's configuring in your home dir which will stay if even if you purge it
[06:19] <confrey> ubotu, I have a ubuntu question too : in xine dialog window, I see fonts in a bad format, bad dimension, ideas?
[06:19] <ppj> Anyone have some experience with Ubuntu on ESX?
[06:19] <mnoir> confrey: type /msg ubotu
[06:19] <castoff> larrysage: you have internet access on that system?
[06:19] <ppj> I've got the networking bridged, and man downloads are slow
[06:19] <hjmills> mwe: ah ok - i didnt realise that stayed - explains some things
[06:19] <Riyonuk> I keep trying to install kuake from the syanptic, but it installed Konsole
[06:19] <confrey> mnoir, right! thanks
[06:20] <larrysage> yes it worked when i loaded but i dont know if it is running when the system stalls
[06:20] <mwe> hjmills: only global configuration is reset when purging
[06:20] <mnoir> wolfgang_: see? caught confrey :)
[06:20] <cyclebrock> ikonia, what type of laptop?
[06:20] <ikonia> msi S262
[06:20] <LameBMX> !vmware
[06:20] <ubotu> vmware is VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"). Instructions for VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware
[06:20] <hjmills> mwe: oh ok - useful to know - thanks
[06:20] <castoff> larrysage: ah if you do then apt-get will get it from the net
[06:20] <hjmills> mwe: i have removed most stuff in ~/.gaim leaving the logs as they are useful - ill see how it goes
[06:21] <wolfgang_> mnoir: yea, now I don't feel so bad
[06:21] <mwe> hjmills: yeah
[06:21] <mnoir> wolfgang_: :)
[06:21] <mnoir> wolfgang_: you are no longer a beginner here!
[06:21] <serishema> got it
[06:21] <castoff> larrysage: otherwise use dpkg -i file_name
[06:21] <serishema> deleting and recrating the /var/lib/dpkg by doing some hacking got what i want to happen
[06:21] <mnoir> serishema: things working?
[06:21] <dudes> who can giveme a link for install the drivers of "QuickCam for notebooks" (logitech)
[06:22] <Riyonuk> And I cant seem to find swiftfox in syanptic
[06:22] <mnoir> serishema: the hack was?
[06:22] <larrysage> ok how will it know where to get it from?
[06:22] <eyalw> hi
[06:22] <serishema> oh dear, nope i just broke the package system compluete
[06:22] <serishema> completely
[06:23] <eyalw> simple tutorial for getting sshd running and configured
[06:23] <mnoir> 1010 ppl say hi to eyalw
[06:23] <castoff> larrysage: the source.lst will tell it...i assume you have a fully installed system?
[06:23] <serishema> fortunately, i backed up the orriginal files
[06:23] <dudes> who can giveme a link for install the drivers of "QuickCam for notebooks" (logitech)
[06:23] <larrysage> yes
[06:23] <chrissturm> wie installier ich moinmoin am besten? fastcgi oder besser twisted?
[06:23] <mnoir> !sshd | eyalw
[06:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sshd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:23] <linuxnewuserr> how do I work a synaptic installer to install stuff
[06:23] <linuxnewuserr> confused as hell with linux
[06:23] <mnoir> !ssh | eyalw
[06:23] <linuxnewuserr> first day on it
[06:23] <ubotu> eyalw: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[06:23] <jrib> !synaptic | linuxnewuserr

[06:24] <castoff> larrysage: so if using apt-get it will know, if using dpkg mount the cd and point it at it
[06:24] <jrib> Riyonuk: swiftfox isn't in the ubunut repositories
[06:24] <hjmills> mwe: same problem with jabber with a reinstalled gaim :( really does suck
[06:24] <Riyonuk> jrib, why?
[06:24] <chrissturm> mnoir: sorry, i have too many irc channels open it seems :)
[06:24] <eitan> hey guys...been looking for 2 hours for the terminal command to initiate the screensaver, anyone know?
[06:24] <mwe> hjmills: hmm
[06:24] <ublender> doesw anyone here have a psp they use with ubuntu?
[06:25] <frederific> hi everyone
[06:25] <mnoir> chrissturm: no need for sorry - mostly i am trying to help ppl get to somebody who can help :)
[06:25] <Riyonuk> It seems alot of the programs I got from automatix arent availble in synaptic >_<
[06:26] <mnoir> eitan: that may be an interesting challenge - i would try asking in #gnome as well
[06:26] <mena> jrib, i cant acces any site throw firefox and it telling me cant establish conection wiwith nay site .....do you know why
[06:26] <mena> jrib, any*
[06:27] <hjmills> mena: try disabling ipv6 - that gave me a headache a while back
[06:27] <larrysage> thanks.. I will probably be back to bug you but if I can get this machine running it will be by by windows.. I am currently testing the ubuntu on my 300mhz dell and it works so beautifully but the other machine is tons faster.
[06:27] <mena> hjmills, okay
[06:27] <lostboyz> does it matter if you are root or user when configuring packages?
[06:27] <doofy> how do i remove unneeded entries from the applications menu?
[06:28] <mnoir> lostboyz: usually does
[06:28] <jrib> doofy: right click on the ubuntu icon, and select "edit menus"
[06:28] <mena> hjmills, how
[06:28] <castoff> eitan: you look for the X screensaver?
[06:28] <islan> doofy, Applications, Accessories, A La Cart Menu Editor
[06:28] <scifi> hi guys, theres a tool somewhere for easily mounting your other disk drives, whats it called ?
[06:28] <hjmills> !ipv6 | mena
[06:28] <ubotu> mena: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[06:28] <mnoir> lostboyz: but that is for global config, not user config
[06:28] <islan> or, yeah, what jrib saud
[06:28] <islan> said*
[06:28] <eitan> castoff: the one in gnome, or are they the same?
[06:28] <mena> hjmills, problem is i cant accses any site even that
[06:28] <doofy> jrib, islan thank you.
[06:28] <jrib> Riyonuk: I don't know, you can request that it be considered for inclusion on one of the MOTU wiki pages though
[06:28] <hjmills> oh
[06:28] <hjmills> good point
[06:29] <hjmills> using fx?
[06:29] <castoff> eitan: look at xscreensaver
[06:29] <mena> hjmills, yes
[06:29] <mena> hjmills,, wait its opened
[06:29] <mena> why
[06:29] <mena> ^_^
[06:29] <hjmills> mena: cos its an ipv6 compatible site i think - thats just what i found
[06:29] <moti> as anybady can recomand how to config mail server on ubuntu
[06:30] <mena> hjmills, okay its opened i will see it thanks
[06:30] <hjmills> moti: i think there is a guide at help.ubuntu.com in the server guide
[06:30] <jakob> How come "sudo apt-get install xwinwrap" returns nothing?
[06:30] <Riyonuk> jrib, well lots of programs I want arent in the respositores, am I going to have to install them manually? Will they not get updated?
[06:30] <moti> tanks i will look
[06:30] <scifi> hi guys, theres a tool somewhere for easily mounting your other disk drives, whats it called ?
[06:31] <jrib> Riyonuk: what other applications are not in the repos?
[06:31] <serishema> system will probably crash again
[06:31] <serishema> fingers crossed
[06:31] <Riyonuk> jrib, well swiftfox, frostwire, energyxt2, audacious to name a few I need :p
[06:32] <eitan> castoff, xscreensaver isnt helping me eithe
[06:32] <serishema> nope, yay i think i got it. I tracked down the actual package which was xserver-xorg that i don't need anyway. So i force removed it and now everything is good
[06:32] <hjmills> Riyonuk: there is a script for swiftfox and probably on for frostwire - audacious is in the repos and i dont kniow about energyxt2
[06:33] <Jowi> !postfix | moti
[06:33] <ubotu> moti: postfix is the default Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for Ubuntu. Read more about setting it up here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix or here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto
[06:33] <chrissturm> whats the recommended way to configure moinmoin on ubuntu behind an apache server?
[06:33] <Riyonuk> hjmills, wtf, I cant find audacious >_>
[06:33] <jrib> Riyonuk: audacious is in feisty.  You can request the others.  frostwire provides ubuntu debs on their site
[06:33] <hjmills> Riyonuk: have you enabled multiverse and universe
[06:33] <Nermal> anyone else having problems with bluetooth and edgy ?
[06:33] <hjmills> !fuck | riyonuk
[06:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fuck - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:33] <PurpleMunkz> what is the run time level that I should start ubuntu in if I don't want the X server to start at bootup?   should it be runtime lvl 3?
[06:33] <Riyonuk> >_>
[06:33] <hjmills> !language | Riyonuk
[06:33] <ubotu> Riyonuk: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:33] <faeryNatsuki> we need to program in php and mysql, and we have to develop something for any common web server, which mysql is better? mysql 5 or mysql 4.1?
[06:33] <serishema> level 3?
[06:33] <hjmills> better
[06:33] <FurryNemesis> PurpleMunkz, 2, I think
[06:34] <serishema> 2 is without networking isn't it?
[06:34] <Riyonuk> hjmills, Ive enabled them...I think
[06:34] <Nermal> specifically I get a "switching device to off" bubble appear when I scan for it on my phone
[06:34] <Riyonuk> jrib, what do you mean in fiesty?
[06:34] <eitan> castoff, I found that i need to change the key of /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled to true to start the screensaver, this is done through GUI by gconf, how can i do it through issuing commands?
[06:34] <eyalw> i looked at the ubuntu docs on ssh, and it explains NOTHING about configuring an sshd, only about remotly logging into one. help, sshd?
[06:34] <Vilandil> join #ubuntu-fr
[06:34] <FurryNemesis> serishema, I think that dumps you into the cmd line
[06:34] <hjmills> Riyonuk: double check and make sure u apt-get update after
[06:34] <jrib> Riyonuk: feisty is the next version of ubuntu
[06:34] <FurryNemesis> !runlevel
[06:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:34] <FurryNemesis> !runlevels
[06:34] <faeryNatsuki> !mysql
[06:34] <PurpleMunkz> hmm I don't thin it's 2, because when I typed telinit 3 to change to r/l 3, then times runlevel to see what my current runlevel was, it displayed r/l 2 as the previous run level before I switched to 3..
[06:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevels - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:34] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[06:34] <Riyonuk> jrib, so its only available if I install fiesty?
[06:34] <Nermal> hmm
[06:34] <castoff> eitan: does typing xscreensaver do it?
[06:35] <faeryNatsuki> !mysql
[06:35] <FurryNemesis> ah, ok
[06:35] <islan> hm ... how do I make sure the fan is on again?
[06:35] <Nermal> looks like this channel has gone further downhill :|
[06:35] <scifi> hi guys, theres a tool somewhere for easily mounting your other disk drives, whats it called ?
[06:35] <ublender> does anyone here have a psp they use with ubuntu?
[06:35] <Riyonuk> hjmills, in Software Sources, every box is checked
[06:35] <eitan> castoff, no, i don't have the program xscreensaver but i have xscreensaver-(5 diff programs here)
[06:36] <jrib> Riyonuk: in the official repositories, yes.  The repositories are frozen before an ubuntu version is released, so it won't be in edgy since it was released last october.  I wouldn't recommend you install feisty until it is released
[06:36] <eyalw> i looked at the ubuntu docs on ssh, and it explains NOTHING about configuring an sshd, only about remotly logging into one. help, sshd?
[06:36] <mwe> eitan: that's normal
[06:36] <castoff> eitan: hum...i'm trying to download xscreensaver now to look but it is very slow
[06:36] <serishema> apt-get install ssh did it for me
[06:36] <eitan> mwe: yeah but none of them work
[06:36] <Riyonuk> jrib, :( and theses deb.'s, I know there like .exe's but do they update?
[06:36] <serishema> installed the server actually, rather than the client
[06:36] <eitan> i mean
[06:36] <eitan> work to start the ss
[06:37] <mwe> eitan: I see. xscreensaver-demo works here
[06:37] <jrib> Riyonuk: they get security updates and major bug fixes
[06:37] <eitan> castoff: i think i can change gnome keys on the fly using gconftool -s (key) (type)
[06:37] <eitan> ill try something
[06:37] <Riyonuk> jrib, wait...what? I really dont want to download anything other than from snyaptic
[06:37] <scifi> what tool do i use to mount my other local disk drives ?
[06:37] <castoff> eitan: but xscreensaver is a seperate package than the configs b/c the configs are used by other screensaver progs
[06:37] <scoobtube> it's my understanding from reading that you have to install the ati video drivers at init level 3.  Is this correct?
[06:38] <mnoir> eyalw: i just found http://geodsoft.com/howto/ssh/servers.htm (google is your friend)  it might help.  have you tried and it is not workingg or not tried yet?
[06:38] <jrib> Riyonuk: what wasn't clear?
[06:39] <Riyonuk> jrib, well...nevermind, all clear. Thanks
[06:39] <serishema> how can i accept xdmcp connections without actually running an X server on the local machine?
[06:39] <agent> !init > FurryNemesis
[06:39] <jrib> Riyonuk: you could always join MOTU and help in the cause :)
[06:39] <castoff> serishema: you need the Xlibraries
[06:39] <Riyonuk> jrib, whats that?
[06:39] <eyalw> mnoir: well i never found this exact page, let me read a little and get back to u on this : )
[06:39] <jrib> !motu | Riyonuk
[06:39] <ubotu> Riyonuk: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[06:39] <serishema> castoff: i have those
[06:40] <serishema> castoff: i just don't want kdm trying to start X org since that will make it crash
[06:40] <castoff> serishema: don't ask me what package that is in Ubuntu never looked
[06:40] <mnoir> eyalw: snot that hard - 1 config file  :)
[06:40] <Riyonuk> jrib, cant, dont always have an internet connecting :p
[06:40] <Riyonuk> Is it good to download pacakges not from the respositores?
[06:40] <jerp> scifi, there is autofs available in the synaptic manager
[06:41] <scifi> jerp: thx
[06:41] <scoobtube> do i need to be init level 3 to install the ati drivers for ubuntu?  I finally have a game that requires openGL and I've downloaded the ati drivers
[06:41] <castoff> serishema: use sysv-rc-conf to turn off kdm so it won't start
[06:42] <serishema> castoff: i want kdm to run though to manage remote x terminals
[06:42] <castoff> serishema: if you don't have that install it, i like it alot
[06:42] <MeRLiN-> Hi!
[06:42] <jrib> Riyonuk: I use frostwire myself, it is fine.  It is generally ok if a package is not in the repos and provides an Ubuntu deb
[06:42] <blblblblblblblbl> hi
[06:43] <jrib> Riyonuk: of course, you are trusting the developers that created the package
[06:43] <castoff> serishema: does it need to? i've never done that always pulled the GUI's back through ssh
[06:43] <Riyonuk> jrib, alright, just wish every program was available :D
[06:43] <mwe> Riyonuk: what are you looking for?
[06:43] <serishema> castoff: it would be easier if my linux ignorant brother just saw a login window on the right box
[06:43] <scoobtube> ok, so I opened up terminal and went from $ to # then went to desktop where the ati driver is and typed sh ./ati-driverblah blah blah and hit enter
[06:43] <Riyonuk> mwe, well first I want audacious
[06:43] <castoff> serishema: hehe ok
[06:43] <PacketScan> edgy comes with firefox 2..  how to revert back to 1.5 as 2.0 is Crach happy ?
[06:44] <mwe> Riyonuk: I see
[06:44] <jakob> where do deleted files go in linux?
[06:44] <mwe> PacketScan: it is? it never crashed here thouh
[06:44] <Riyonuk> jakob, trash
[06:44] <jrib> jakob: depends how you deleted them
[06:44] <jakob> please pretend I never asked that :-s
[06:45] <mena> i still cant open any site
[06:45] <C_J_Pro> Wow, been a while since I've last been here.
[06:45] <PacketScan> free'mwe, ff2 is crashing on linux and windows for me.. revert back to 1.5 seems to be the fix for now.
[06:45] <mwe> PacketScan: well if you insist, download 1.5 from mozilla.com and install it to /opt
[06:45] <scifi> jerp: in dapper there was a gui tool in administration menu for doing this, is there not such a gui tool in edgy ?
[06:45] <Riyonuk> Someone told me Automatix was bad news...is it really?
[06:45] <mwe> PacketScan: then sudo dpkg-divert /usr/bin/firefox && sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/
[06:45] <scoobtube> when the ati driver extracts and starts i get this error:  X Server: Unknown X Window
[06:46] <mwe> PacketScan: err
[06:46] <scoobtube> cp: cannot stat `x710/usr/X11R6/bin/*': No such file or directory
[06:46] <mwe> PacketScan: sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/bin/firefox && sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/
[06:46] <scoobtube> find: install/usr/bin/fireglcontrolpanel: No such file or directory
[06:46] <ghd> hi, im installing ubuntu 5.10, i need help with partitions.  basicly theres 1 partition on c drive which contains xp, i'd prefer to make a new partition on that drive to install ubuntu.  Also theres 4 partitions on d drive, one of which has knoppix installed, but i dont know which.  #1  is 12.6gb has a lightning/downward arrow, a black smiley face  says  and says ntfs.   #2  has all my music, video etc from xp.  #3 is 12.6gb has
[06:46] <ghd>  a black smiley face and says reiserfs.   #4 is 329mb swap. can anyone give advice on making a new partition on c drive or tell me which partition on d drive to delete so i can install ubuntu on it.  also, does anyone know what could be oln the 12.6gb partiton that doesnt have knoppix installed?
[06:46] <C_J_Pro> Are there any alternatives to Kontakt for Ubuntu?
[06:46] <jerp> scifi, look in your synaptic manager
[06:47] <scoobtube> how do i get to init3 in ubuntu?
[06:47] <mnoir> ghd: why 5.10
[06:47] <scifi> jerp: i dont know what it was called. autofs is just a script, i want a gui front-end tool
[06:47] <MetaBookfoziS> hi all
[06:47] <jakob> What does "missing separator. Stop" mean?
[06:47] <MetaBookfoziS> how can i workout to an app don'T use my internet connection?
[06:47] <mwe> jakob: from what?
[06:47] <hjmills> is it possible to run kde apps without kdelibs as im about to reinstall ubuntu and want to use all the programs i can (so i have more choice) and make them look the same without the overhead of loading half of kde
[06:47] <MetaBookfoziS> so i'm dont want to an app goes to internet?
[06:47] <mwe> hjmills: it's not
[06:47] <jakob> mwe a make or make install.
[06:48] <hjmills> jakob: probably that something is missing a seperator so it has had to stop
[06:48] <ghd> because thats the disc that ive got, and my pc is pretty crap.  is newer versions can run just as well on a 655mhz amd duron with 128mb ram, then i might install those
[06:48] <mwe> jakob: it means the source code is broken
[06:48] <mwe> jakob: what are you trying to install?
[06:48] <jakob> mwe, would it be safer to find a new source, rather than fix it?
[06:48] <mnoir> hjmills: no kde apps are gonna use the libs :(
[06:49] <jakob> mwe. xwinwrap, it's no longer on synaptics
[06:49] <mwe> jakob: also consider using checkinstall instead of make install
[06:49] <schlonzo> hello, i've got a problem. My hdb2 is, after transformating to FAT32 no longer available in ubuntu. How was the command to mute those hdd's ?
[06:49] <mena> hjmills, i still cant open any site and i done as it told me
[06:49] <jakob> mwe, checkinstall --> command not found
[06:49] <mwe> jakob: install it
[06:49] <hjmills> mwe: didnt think it was possible - overly hopeful
[06:49] <mnoir> ghd - you are gonna have a very interesting time getting support here :) i should think 6.06 would run fine unless there is a specific hardware issue
[06:49] <mwe> jakob: sudo aptitude install checkinstall
[06:49] <hjmills> mnoir: thats why i dont like kde i guess
[06:50] <jakob> mwe, thanks, I'll try that.
[06:50] <mwe> hjmills: it wont work if make install doesn't work though
[06:50] <MeRLiN-> bye
[06:50] <schlonzo> hello, i've got a problem. My hdb2 is, after transformating to FAT32 no longer available in ubuntu. How was the command to mute those hdd's?
[06:50] <mnoir> hjmills: it is just disk space...
[06:50] <N1kki> Hi, just a quick question, is there any way to install from the command line, got a really slow PC and in 15mins it hasnt even loaded the desktop manager from the live CD
[06:50] <hjmills> mnoir: and cpu and memory as it runs in the background doesnt it?
[06:50] <ghd> mnoir ok, i guess i'll dl the latest version then
[06:50] <mnoir> hjmills: when yer running those apps...
[06:51] <hjmills> mnoir: so when the apps close does kdelibs close:?
[06:51] <mwe> hjmills: it doesn't take cpu power to load some libs
[06:51] <Slart> N1kki: there's the alternate install cd
[06:51] <mnoir> hjmills: afaik
[06:51] <mwe> hjmills: it takes some memory though
[06:51] <Slart> !alternate | N1kki
[06:51] <ubotu> N1kki: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[06:52] <Riyonuk> Are there more repisotires then multivers, universe, etc?
[06:52] <mnoir> hjmills: if  ya like the apps ya gotta pay the price
[06:52] <hjmills> mwe - is it a significant amount - i have a decently powered pc but i just dont like choking it with stuff
[06:52] <linuxnewuserr> someone walk me through installation of easyubuntu and a .run in pvt plz these tutorial sites confuse me as a noob with this techinical crap that doesn't teach you easily
[06:52] <mwe> hjmills: they do "close" if they're not used.
[06:52] <N1kki> yep I saw that, but was hoping I wouldnt have to download and burn another copy
[06:52] <Prestwick_> Hi can anyone help?
[06:52] <jrib> linuxnewuserr: what are you trying to install?
[06:52] <mwe> hjmills: it's not that bad. some megabytes depending on the program
[06:52] <jrib> !helpme | Prestwick_
[06:52] <ubotu> Prestwick_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:52] <mnoir> !anyone |pres
[06:52] <ubotu> pres: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:52] <linuxnewuserr> easyubuntu
[06:52] <Prestwick_> Basically loaded up Ubuntu and a square about 70x70 pixels big is distorted in the top left hand corner ^^;
[06:52] <Slart> N1kki: I don't think there is a text mode install on the normal CD.. I might be wrong though..
[06:53] <N1kki> ah ok, Thanks :)
[06:53] <Gosha> .. how do i enable scripts in nautilus?
[06:53] <linuxnewuserr> ubuntu doesn't support my videocard yet x1950 ati
[06:53] <PacketScan> man what the heck happened in edgy.. FF2 is crash happy, Evolution lost SSL/TLS support..  Do they not test anymore before releaseing..YIKES.
[06:53] <mnoir> !elaborate | Gosha
[06:53] <ubotu> Gosha: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[06:53] <linuxnewuserr> but i downloaded the x1900 driver .run file
[06:53] <hjmills> mwe and mnoir: ok - thanks for all the advice - looks like im sticking with gnome
[06:53] <N1kki> Actually one more thing
[06:53] <mwe> Linuturk: doesn't fglrx support that?
[06:53] <N1kki> I havent really got a problem but really need some ideas, I'm a student and for my main project I decided to do something relating to IPTables (networking is a big interest of mine + also this should be useful in real life), thing is the only current idea is performance testing with iptables in place and a test without, I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas for a good project, I've been thinking for couple of weeks now and t
[06:53] <mnoir> hjmills: good move
[06:53] <hjmills> could i replace nautilus with something else in gnome?
[06:53] <Prestwick_> Any ideas?
[06:53] <jrib> linuxnewuserr: /join #easyubuntu
[06:53] <Riyonuk> linuxnewuserr, automatix is easier, just double click and its installed
[06:54] <mwe> hjmills: yeah as long as you keep it installed
[06:54] <mnoir> !automatix
[06:54] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:54] <hjmills> mwe: so nautilus is still needed?
[06:54] <Gosha> allright, so i put a script in ./gnome/nautilus-scripts and made it executable, now .. how do i make it appear on the right-click menu?
[06:54] <scifi> i cant seem to pysdm using sudo apt-get install pysdm, it says Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock and unable to lock administration directory
[06:54] <jrib> linuxnewuserr: what is the x1900 driver file for?
[06:54] <mooey> !worksforme
[06:54] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[06:54] <scifi> install*
[06:54] <linuxnewuserr> how do i find automatix?
[06:54] <lupine_85> !automatix

[06:54] <phr34ck> is there an alternative for Visio ?
[06:54] <mwe> hjmills: yeah some programs don't like it not being around
[06:54] <N1kki> did anyone get my long message?
[06:54] <lupine_85> snap :p

[07:09] <PA|CodyLoco> magic_ninja doing what?
[07:09] <Pitbull_R> Anyone have a clue as to why my pc keeps rebooting right after installing 6.10 server?

[07:09] <PA|CodyLoco> juano I don't use Intel procs so I don't really know lol
[07:09] <juano> PA|CodyLoco: cause if you are you need the x86_64 isos not the i586
[07:09] <Xzyx987X> the drive even works in vmware with windows xp running as a guest under ubuntu
[07:09] <PA|CodyLoco> i386 is what I have
[07:10] <fab_> NoWhereMan, when you rightclick on a usb device, then there should be the eject-option (also in edgy)
[07:10] <Xzyx987X> can anyone help me figure out the problem?
[07:10] <PA|CodyLoco> juano can I PM you this is giving me a head ache
