[18:18] <hwilde> [69486.326312] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s! [wpa_supplicant:4379]
[18:18] <airdog> how can i prevent nat of lan ips over wan ?
[18:18] <unavailable> anyone?
[18:18] <nicoleamy> what source do i need to be able to download the tomtom?
[18:19] <Winston_SmithVT> Nucco, I did replace user with my username
[18:19] <Gnea> mudit: that's fine, just say 'yes'
[18:19] <unavailable> getting <unknown program name>(7546)/: Communication problem with  "ktorrent" , it probably crashed.  Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "  when i run ktorrent
[18:19] <gaintsura> !repeat | unavailable
[18:19] <Winston_SmithVT> carandraug, No .local or .trash in my root dir
[18:20] <gaintsura> carandraug: I thought it was under .local too (was going to help him too), but its not there
[18:20] <soundray> hwilde: is there a question in there that I can't see?
[18:20] <dasy2k1> hi all
[18:20] <Gnea> nicoleamy: you may need to recompile wine from source if it doesn't work right - or install crossover
[18:20] <hwilde> soundray, why does my cpu lockup with that error message?
[18:20] <Gnea> nicoleamy: crossover would be easier
[18:20] <smm289> did u delete your trash,  lol is that possible ?
[18:20] <Nucco> Winston_smitvt, or just drag and drop the offending folder in the terminal, note the path, then use nautilus as root and navigate there
[18:20] <dasy2k1> what is the path of the alsa device as opposed to /dev/dsp
[18:21] <soundray> hwilde: it tells you: there is a bug. Consider reporting it on launchpad.
[18:21] <Winston_SmithVT> Nucco, ok will try
[18:21] <gaintsura> smm289: even if you delete .trash the next time something is put there it will show back up
[18:21] <soundray> Gnea: nicoleamy hasn't even tried wine so far
[18:21] <Gnea> soundray: oh ok
[18:21] <airdog> what would cause internal ip addresses being routed through extrenal networks when the routing is established correctly and working 99.9% of the time
[18:21] <nicoleamy> ok, and also when i come to turn off my pc, it doesn't shut down properly
[18:21] <Gnea> soundray: just keeping an eye out for the road ahead :)
[18:21] <erUSUL> dasy2k1: /dev/snd/*
[18:22] <nicoleamy> how do i fixd that?
[18:22] <carandraug> Winston_SmithVT: so, you can see that folder with nautilus but not with the command line? Is that right? What happens when you double in the trash icon?
[18:22] <Gnea> nicoleamy: what do you mean? does it stop all of the programs and then not turn off or..?
[18:22] <airdog> it seems like heavy network loads cause it to break down more frequently
[18:22] <unavailable> getting <unknown program name>(7546)/: Communication problem with  "ktorrent" , it probably crashed.  Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "  when i run ktorrent
[18:23] <carandraug> !repeat > unavailable
[18:23] <nicoleamy> no, i switch all the programs off and then shut down, it shuts down half way through and then it have errors shutting down
[18:23] <soundray> nicoleamy: is your kernel current? What does 'uname -r' give you?
[18:23] <nicoleamy> what?
[18:23] <gnubie> gaintsura, installing gspca-source got logitec webcam going
[18:23] <soundray> nicoleamy: open a terminal and run    uname -r
[18:23] <Winston_SmithVT> Nucco, ok I found it, but no clue how to get to it it's, /root$ trash:///media%252fwd%20Passport%252f.Trash-1000%252fcd%20back%20up%20copies
[18:23] <nicoleamy> ok
[18:24] <airdog> i feel i found a MAJOR bug n ubunut's NAT how do i alert the appropriate people to gettin gthe bug resolved?
[18:24] <soundray> !bug | airdog
[18:24] <carandraug> nicoleamy: but in the end, do you have to cold boot or anything like that? Or it justs shows a bunch of erros and then sutdowns by itself?
[18:24] <mudit> Gnea: how to say yes ?
[18:25] <airdog> thank you very much soundray
[18:25] <Gnea> mudit: whatever the option to continue is
[18:25] <Nucco> Typing on a phone is annoying. I'm out. Cheers.
[18:25] <nicoleamy> it shows a bunch of errors and then it doesn't shut down at all, i have to press and hold down the switch on
[18:25] <airdog> what you guys recommend for a opensource nat platform that supports evdo devices?
[18:25] <unavailable> when I run ktorrent >>    Communication problem with  "ktorrent" , it probably crashed.  Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "
[18:26] <gaintsura> gnubie: what video/cam program?
[18:26] <Gnea> nicoleamy: you may need to force acpi then.
[18:26] <Winston_SmithVT> Nucco, Ok think I found it, I think it's in the root of my usb drive where I deleted the files
[18:26] <Winston_SmithVT> Nucco, yep found it
[18:26] <nicoleamy> Gnea: how do i force?
[18:26] <snitko> Is that correct, that usually on VPS I can upload my own OS image (I want Ubuntu 8 server) and install it? Or usually I can't?
[18:26] <Winston_SmithVT> carandraug, thanks for the help
[18:26] <Winston_SmithVT> Nucco, Thanks for the help
[18:26] <smm289> how stable is it to install kde on top of my ubuntu gnome
[18:26] <Gnea> nicoleamy: this webpage will tell you how: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=848807
[18:26] <smm289> I wanna try out kde a little
[18:27] <mudit> when i continue and quit, and start again, i get the same Message @ Gnea
[18:27] <gaintsura> smm289: they are seperate wm's, mostly they wont effect each other
[18:27] <soundray> smm289: as stable as installing it on its own. Just 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' and select a KDE session when you log in.
[18:27] <airdog> Gnea: Send RFC-3442 classless static routes (note the netmask encoding) is this what you were refering too? i dont understand rfc?
[18:27] <smm289> is it just going to be a button i click to switch back and forth between gnome and kde ?
[18:27] <carandraug> Winston_SmithVT: oh, yeah. If it's in pen or external HD, it always go for .Trash in there, not for your home folder
[18:27] <patrick> hey guys
[18:27] <gaintsura> smm289: yes, at login
[18:28] <hicham> hi
[18:28] <patrick> hi
[18:28] <soundray> smm289: note, KDE3 is current, but will be replaced by KDE4 with the October intrepid release.
[18:28] <Scunizi> smm289: you can "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" to get the full ubuntu kde setup.. then from the log-in screen choose sessions and change to kde to use it.. switch back anytime to gnome.
[18:28] <dasy2k1> erUSUL: im trying to get a voice client working (team speak) and the default of /dev/dsp does not work but it dousent work for my mucrphone in anything, what would i change this to to use the alsa sound sytem?

[18:28] <Guest95349> i was wundering if linux has a tablet anpplicatio
[18:28] <hicham> does any one what a xmpp proxy mean?
[18:28] <smm289> sweet :)
[18:28] <airdog> ok
[18:28] <gnubie> gaintsura, camorama
[18:28] <Guest95349> hey
[18:28] <erUSUL> dasy2k1: never used teamspeak ... dunno what sound system irt uses ..
[18:28] <Scunizi> Guest30496: you mean an external tablet? or a tablet Pc?
[18:28] <Matt_Kaiser-TMS> quit
[18:29] <carandraug> nicoleamy: have you tried to take a look at dmesg logs? I don't know where they are kept (somewhere in /var ). That may be handy to find out the problem
[18:29] <Guest95349> does linux offer tablet feature for tablet pcs?
[18:29] <Gnea> Guest95349: yes.
[18:29] <Guest95349> really?
[18:29] <Gnea> ...
[18:29] <Gnea> YES
[18:29] <Winston_SmithVT> New question how long will it take to delete 20gb of files with rm -r ?
[18:29] <nicoleamy> i don't know how to find out the problem
[18:29] <smm289> ubuntu does it all :D  except my call of duty 2 :(
[18:29] <Guest95349> so if i installed ubuntu 8.04 i t wil work?
[18:29] <Gnea> Winston_SmithVT: until it's done.
[18:30] <nicoleamy> is it the only way to force it to shut down
[18:30] <sipior> Winston_SmithVT: depends on the number of files, among other things.
[18:30] <Gnea> nicoleamy: you've already found the problem. :)
[18:30] <gaintsura> gnubie: Camorama 'could not connect to /dev/video0 please check your connection'
[18:30] <Winston_SmithVT> Gnea, ok good answer lol
[18:30] <unavailable> when I run ktorrent >>    Communication problem with  "ktorrent" , it probably crashed.  Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "
[18:30] <nicoleamy> i have?
[18:30] <smm289> has anyone run call of duty2 under wine, does it preform just like it does under my windows install
[18:30] <carandraug> Winston_SmithVT: I don't know. I think it depends if it's one file or several small files. It didn't took him too long to delete by accident my 50Gb music collection though :'(
[18:30] <Gnea> nicoleamy: yes, it's quite common, actually
[18:30] <Scunizi> Winston_SmithVT: too many variables.. drive speed, computer speed etc.. let us know.,:)
[18:30] <Gnea> nicoleamy: yes, you said the problem is: the pc will not turn off.
[18:30] <Winston_SmithVT> carandraug, ouch
[18:30] <PurpleWolf> hi all
[18:31] <Winston_SmithVT> It's done now
[18:31] <nicoleamy> Gnea: yes
[18:31] <Scunizi> Winston_SmithVT: that was quick
[18:31] <Guest36159> Gnea will i have to config anything after i instil ubuntu on my tablet or does it dectected Manualy
[18:31] <Guest36159> ?
[18:31] <Gnea> nicoleamy: and that, is the problem. the website i gave you has the solution to that problem.
[18:31] <Winston_SmithVT> So I guess I learned that if you delete files from a usb drive the trash is placed on the usb drive
[18:31] <nicoleamy> where is the commands to stop this from happening?
[18:31] <carandraug> Winston_SmithVT: too quick. It doesn't give you enough time to press cancel once you see the name of the files that are being erased
[18:32] <RandomNuB> with what key combo can I switch desktops?
[18:32] <Gnea> Guest36159: most things will be detected automatically, not sure what else you'll need to configure. which tablet is it?
[18:32] <parlin> adhit
[18:32] <Guest36159> it's a fujitsu stylistic
[18:32] <mudit> Gnea: please help !
[18:32] <parlin> cficghk
[18:32] <parlin> hkvyo
[18:32] <I0n> is this a good channel to look for support?
[18:32] <carandraug> Winston_SmithVT: yes. And if you select to not erase the files from trash when you remove it, the folder will still be there with the files. Same thing happen with Mac
[18:33] <Gnea> mudit: ok, just quit vigr
[18:33] <soundray> I0n: Ubuntu support, yes
[18:33] <Gnea> !support | I0n
[18:33] <I0n> I just have a question about loading programs that I've installed from the package manager
[18:33] <dasy2k1> I0n: if you can filter out all the other simultanious questions
[18:33] <Winston_SmithVT> carandraug, ok, ya that was my problem not knowing that the trash would be on the usb drive
[18:33] <Guest36159> i have regular xp installed on it now but thet tablet feaeture does not work
[18:33] <nicoleamy> Gnea:  where are the commands to stop this from happening?
[18:33] <soundray> I0n: just ask
[18:33] <Guest36159> even though installed the driver
[18:33] <Gnea> !ask | I0n
[18:33] <I0n> my bad,
[18:33] <nicoleamy> there are only codes but no commands
[18:33] <mudit> Gnea:  ?
[18:34] <mudit> i quit
[18:34] <mudit> but whenever I sudo vigr
[18:34] <mudit> i get the same message
[18:34] <soundray> nicoleamy: please make at least an effort to understand what's being said on that page.
[18:34] <Gnea> nicoleamy: you need to open a terminal first, then use a text edittor to edit the file that it's talking about.
[18:34] <Gnea> mudit: okay - rm /etc/group.edit
[18:34] <Gnea> mudit: then try again.

[18:42] <mudit> consider urself as super hero, lol
[18:42] <Gnea> mudit: cheers
[18:42] <Guest36159> Gnea
[18:43] <carandraug> cheeky: kind of. It's in the repositories. I don't if it's installed by default. You use it with fileroller o whatever it is you use to compress/uncompress. You install packages that interact with file roller. For rar diles, it's called unrar or rar-free (but the free (open-source) version has no support for the latest version of rar files)
[18:43] <Guest36159> Since when did linux offer tablet features????
[18:43] <eventmaster> yes
[18:43] <cheeky> carandraug: hey dude when i tried to fetch the package it say i have the latest version of unrar
[18:43] <carandraug> cheeky: then you don't have to woory. Just double click on the rar file and it will open with file-roller
[18:44] <nicoleamy> Gnea: still doesn't work
[18:44] <cheeky> carandraug: and do just like how i used unpackage it like windows

[18:46] <soundray> nicoleamy: I'm having dinner now, I may be back later, then I'll check how you got on.
[18:46] <Kevin21> hmm
[18:46] <carandraug> cheeky: actually, it's "extract here". You can also, right click in a folder and select to compress and then choose the compress format
[18:47] <Kevin21> damn nation i don't want to go back to windows!
[18:47] <cheeky> carandraug:  thnk you i got it to work

[18:49] <eightbit> but looks neat
[18:49] <unfo> eightbit: you mean the screen is one face of a cube and you can spin the cube to get to a different virtual desktop?
[18:50] <eightbit> yeah, that looks like what he's doing there in the pic
[18:50] <dooglus> SebNaitsabes: it's offtopic here, but sidux is a live-cd of debian sid
[18:50] <Kevin21> dooglus: how do i find things when they say they are not found? alsaconf is not found when i type in terminal
[18:50] <unfo> eightbit: i've seen that before but I don't know what it's called.
[18:50] <RoRza> Do I need a software drive in order to use a wirless network with Belkin external card ?
[18:50] <unfo> eightbit: maybe it's called compiz?
[18:50] <magnetron> !hardware | RoRza
[18:51] <dooglus> Kevin21: you can search on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ for it, or you can install "apt-file", then "sudo apt-file update", then "apt-file search alsaconf"
[18:51] <shannel> t
[18:51] <dooglus> Kevin21: (or you can ask me - apt-file tells me: alsa-utils: /usr/sbin/alsaconf - ie. it's in the alsa-utils package)
[18:51] <Kevin21> your awesome thanks
[18:51] <eightbit> unfo: hmm... there's actually a tag for it at the site, you might be right
[18:52] <RoRza> I have a external wireless card
[18:52] <Scunizi> RoRza: my belkin usb external works just fine.
[18:53] <unfo> eightbit: try a YouTube search for "compiz".  that may help you to figure it out
[18:53] <unfo> i'm really not sure.
[18:53] <RoRza> Scunizi, : did you install any software ?
[18:53] <eightbit> unfo: thanks
[18:53] <RoRza> Scarey, : mine is PCMCIA
[18:53] <Scunizi> RoRza: nope
[18:53] <nicoleamy> how do i install flash
[18:54] <nicoleamy> i mean flash player?
[18:54] <RoRza> Well mine its not detecting it wen I plug the wirless card . . .
[18:54] <carandraug> !flash | nicoleamy
[18:54] <unfo> eightbit: you're welcome
[18:55] <cheeky> nicoleamy:  apt-get
[18:55] <RoRza> Scunizi,  Well mine its not detecting it wen I plug the wirless card . . .
[18:55] <nicoleamy> apt-get what?
[18:55] <dasy2k1> !ndswrapper | RoRza
[18:55] <Scunizi> This is the one I have.. you may have to make the switch in network manager.. sometimes I have to have it plugged in before booting. http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=179211
[18:56] <carandraug> nicoleamy: flashplugin-nonfree  <-- it's in the link ubottu gave you
[18:56] <RoRza> dasy2k1, ?
[18:56] <cheeky> carandraug:  i remember when did that stuff..i downloaded something with extra stuff or something is that the same thing ?
[18:57] <dasy2k1> RoRza: sorry about that was an attempt at an info script that diddint work
[18:57] <shannel> привет всем
[18:57] <unfo> !ru
[18:57] <carandraug> cheeky: are you still talking about rar files? Or are you talking about flash player? You hvae to enable some extra repositories to get flash
[18:57] <cheeky> nicoleamy: you could try this , 'apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras'
[18:57] <chamunks> I'm going to a lanparty and will be needing to shrink my main drive a bit for an ntfs partition so i can install winedoze xp to it for gaming
[18:57] <unfo> dasy2k1: you spelled it wrong, it's ndiswrapper.  what is the problem RoRza was trying to deal with?
[18:58] <unfo> chamunks: why not install Windows inside VirtualBox or VMware Server?
[18:58] <Scunizi> dasy2k1: depending on which model RoRza has.. he probably doesn't need ndiswrapper.. just info on how to switch from eth0 to the wireless card.
[18:58] <dasy2k1> unfo: external wireless card
[18:58] <cheeky> carandraug: no iam talking to nicleamy about flash player .. and mention about the ubuntu-restricted-extras ..which should have the flash plugin right ?
[18:58] <chamunks> unfo,  framerate = thumbsdown
[18:58] <unfo> chamunks: what minimum FPS do you need?  :)
[18:58] <chamunks> unfo, for some games anyways
[18:59] <chamunks> unfo, the ones that dont really want to play nicely with ubuntu anyways.
[18:59] <RoRza> unfo, I have problem using my external Belkin PCMCI Wirless card
[18:59] <carandraug> nicoleamy: cheeky: I think it's better to just install the stuff you want, instead of going to all the restricted packages. It contains the msttcorefonts which it just breaks firefox aspect for example. Also, it avoids installing closed-source software that you don't need
[18:59] <Scunizi> unfo: chamunks probably also needs the propriatory driver for his video card to make the game work. DirectX and all that... that'
[18:59] <chamunks> unfo, they have a few games that will play well with wine but i really want to play some that dont.
[19:00] <Scunizi> unfo: chamunks that's not available in the VM's.. unfortunatly.
[19:00] <unfo> chamunks: they may work inside Wine or VirtualBox.  but if you don't want to use those, back up your *entire hard drive* then use System > Administration > Partition Editor to resize it.
[19:00] <unfo> chamunks: you must do what I said using a livecd.
[19:00] <unfo> :)
[19:00] <chamunks> Scunizi, unfo  exactly plus theres some starforce drm in some of them
[19:00] <nicoleamy> now your saying it
[19:00] <nicoleamy> how do i abort downloading then
[19:00] <RoRza> unfo, : ?
[19:00] <u_07> What package(s) is needed in order for me to play .mp3 files?  My soundcard is working fine and I can play .wav files. I don't have an internet connection. I have a very minimal install of Debian, but it's about the same as Ubuntu IMO.
[19:01] <unfo> RoRza: I don't know, sorry.  try asking the whole channel
[19:01] <unfo> u_07: why not ask in #debian
[19:01] <Scunizi> chamunks: if you resize to install xp it will overwrite your boot manager so you won't be able to get back into Ubuntu without using the Live CD to restore Grub
[19:01] <chamunks> unfo, I guess i could image my 120GB maindrive to my 720GB secondary but its in reiserFS
[19:01] <u_07> okay..
[19:01] <carandraug> nicoleamy: What I told you was to follow the ubottu istructions. The instructions for 8.04 it's 4 lines long and it explains better than anyone else here
[19:01] <cheeky> carandraug: oh snap .. so should i remove them .. and then doit all over again .. the only reason i did that was coz i dont know wat to get for me to get my multimedia running; .. so any advice on how i would go around this
[19:01] <unfo> chamunks: you can.  there are various tools for imaging.  I use "dd" but there's partimage and more.
[19:01] <chamunks> Scunizi, and i've not been treated well with trying to restore my grub it allways causes me issues.
[19:01] <nicoleamy> oh ok
[19:01] <jerbear> i noticed that there's an option for google calendar in evolution. how do i set this up? entering the calendar name and username doesn't seem to work (although it doesn't complain)
[19:02] <chamunks> unfo, i've had a bit of experience with 'dd' but its a bit complicated for my tastes sometimes.
[19:02] <erUSUL> u_07: quick and dirty ... install "ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[19:02] <RoRza> anyone here use the Belkin external wirless card MCPCIA ?
[19:02] <unfo> jerbear: that's not a very distro-specific question.  you would be better off asking that in an evolution-specific channel; they are the evolution experts.
[19:03] <unfo> :)
[19:03] <carandraug> cheeky: I'm not sure what package contains the restricted media. I thinks it's gstreamer or something like that. You can just remove the package msttcorefonts though if you have problems with t
[19:03] <Scunizi> chamunks: another solution.. make a partition on your 750gig drive for XP.. disconnect the primary drive and install xp to the secondary after changing the bios settings to make it primary.. after install reconnect original primary.. then switch back and forth between the OS's with bios instead of grub or other boot manager..
[19:03] <jlgshk> #ubuntu-es
[19:03] <jerbear> unfo: there's an evolution channel?
[19:03] <askand> Is Nvidia still better then atidrivers?
[19:03] <unfo> jerbear: probably.
[19:03] <chamunks> unfo, Scunizi unfortunately i've become so attatched to the way i have my ubuntu setup now i dont want to have to go through the trouble of redoing everything again.
[19:03] <dasunsrule32> jerbear: irc.gimp.org #evolution
[19:03] <unfo> jerbear: either here or on irc.gnome.org
[19:03] <Scunizi> jerbear: gimp.net #evolution
[19:03] <jerbear> cool
[19:04] <Pirate_Hunter> i am running compiz on xubuntu on an intel card, i have added four workstations but compiz only displays two when rotating cube, how do i activate the other two?
[19:04] <RoRza> anyone here use the Belkin external wirless card MCPCIA ?
[19:04] <cheeky> carandraug: well .. 1) how would i remove this ; i wanan use terminal for mostly everything cause so i can actually undertsand this new system instead of using the GUI .. 2) how wouldi know its causing any problems so far ?
[19:04] <chamunks> Scunizi, well i was thinking ill use an external usb sata2 laptop drive i have here for this. with that idea you just mentioned.
[19:04] <Scunizi> chamunks: my last suggestion won't mess up ubuntu.  after xp is installed you could add a line to grub to allow booting of xp directly from grub
[19:04] <karname> how i can remaster ubuntu?
[19:05] <chamunks> Scunizi, i just dont know if grub will play well with my usb drive.
[19:05] <carandraug> carandraug: but I think you need them to wine. I'm really not sure. To me, that package makes the fonts in some programs (firefox specially) awful
[19:05] <Guest99927> hey guys
[19:05] <carandraug> cheeky: but I think you need them to wine. I'm really not sure. To me, that package makes the fonts in some programs (firefox specially) awful
[19:05] <Guest99927> do i need to create a cd in order to install Ubuntu
[19:05] <unfo> chamunks: "i've become so attatched to the way i have my ubuntu setup now i dont want to have to go through the trouble of redoing everything again."  what do you mean?
[19:05] <Scunizi> ChampS``: that might work with the external.. if you can get xp to install correctly.. you'll still have to make the bios changes to get it to boot from usb
[19:05] <Guest99927> because my tablet does not have a CD drive
[19:05] <chamunks> Scunizi, this idea seems the least scary of all of them.
[19:05] <Scunizi> :)
[19:06] <RoRza> anyone here use the Belkin external wirless card MCPCIA ?
[19:06] <Guest99927> guys
[19:06] <chamunks> unfo, Just that i've got ubuntu exactly as i like it right now i have no issues whatsoever, although as im poking through and learning more i keep finding really cool things i can do lol.
[19:06] <Guest99927> is there any way to install ubuntu without a CD drive???
[19:06] <Scunizi> chamunks: remember the usb install will only work with that computer since winxp has the "verification" nightmare.
[19:06] <unfo> Guest99927: there is a way called "wubi" but I hear it's unoptimal.
[19:06] <DRebellion> !install | Guest99927
[19:07] <cheeky> carandraug: hmm okay ..it seems to work fine here m8 .. umm ill keep a loook out.. but..i do have a problem with my codecs .. like i wanan watch stuff on veoh; it plays and stuff but soo choppy you know .. am i missing .. the codecs for it  ubuntu always is chopping when straming videos?
[19:07] <eventmaster> i hate the fukin soudn
[19:07] <chamunks> Scunizi, i just wish i had amd v or whatever it is kus than i'd run the xen hypervisor... /sigh
[19:07] <blackvd> Need a suggestion for a data dvd ripper, thanks.
[19:07] <openros> iam using hardy, i got some problem. error msg is "Kinit : No resume image , doing normal boot ..." help me out
[19:07] <carandraug> cheeky: you need to know the name of the package and whether you hvae installed or not. I use "aptitude search msttcorefont". It shows that the package name is actually msttcorefonts and it's whether is installed or not (i or p in the beggining of the line). To remove it, sudo apt-get purge msttcorefonts
[19:07] <Guest99927> what do you mean by optimal?
[19:07] <chamunks> Scunizi, i betcha vista is no better for the 'verification nightmare' either.
[19:07] <unfo> Guest99927: one friend of mine tried it and it didn't work very well for him.
[19:07] <Scunizi> chamunks: welcome to the club.  Yep to vista
[19:08] <Guest99927> ohhh i c
[19:08] <Guest99927> well the bot said there are other ways
[19:08] <The-Compiler> Hi there, I want to run a display with 1280x800, but even with modelines and other stuff I only get 800x600. Does anyone know what the problem is? The currently xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/391909/
[19:08] <carandraug> cheeky: do you use mplayer? It works great for me. You can install smplayer which is a great frontend for mplayer "sudo apt-get install smplayer"
[19:08] <unfo> chamunks: did you think I meant Partition Editor cannot resize?  because it *can* resize NTFS.
[19:08] <unfo> :)
[19:08] <BashItOut> openros: Will help via PM
[19:09] <jamiejackson> is there any way to get copy and paste between local and remote in tsclient (over rdp, for instance)?
[19:09] <cheeky> carandraug: well see the thing is mate i watch it on my browser; the only player i have is VLC. ..
[19:09] <macd> I have a usb cable for my cell phone, it has an sd card in it, ubunut shows a usb drive, Im unable to mount it via nautilus, can I show all available disks mounted or not?
[19:09] <chamunks> Scunizi, If ubuntu had a direct-x layer of sorts somewhere i would never concidder windows ever again.  Alas gaming support is still minor in respect to all the games out now.
[19:09] <unfo> BashItOut: openros: it is better if you do not help via PM.  do you know why?
[19:09] <carandraug> Guest99927: yes. You can install ubuntu with an USB pen
[19:09] <The-Compiler> macd, you could use various commands (dmesg, sudo fdisk -l, mount) in a Terminal
[19:09] <BashItOut> unfo: No, tell me :p
[19:09] <kristian_paul> use live usb
[19:09] <chamunks> unfo, i try to use gparted partitioning is something i dont really want to experiment with the cli i have far too much data to lose.
[19:10] <Scunizi> chamunks: you mean gaming mfgr's don't have any respect for systems other than Win
[19:10] <macd> The-Compiler, dmesg, hah! I forgot
[19:10] <macd> it shows the disk node
[19:10] <macd> thx.
[19:10] <chamunks> Scunizi, i
[19:10] <unfo> BashItOut: because then nobody else can see the help you are providing and learn from it; also it then won't get into the web-based irc logs.
[19:10] <carandraug> cheeky: I've heard VLC is also very good. Par to mplayer. Instead of watching in the browser, try saving the file and watch with a software that was made to watch movies
[19:10] <chamunks> Scunizi, im sure they do its just the fact that they cannot enforce proper drm because linux is so easily modified.
[19:10] <BashItOut> Aaaah
[19:11] <earthling> how do i change my screen resolution and model?
[19:11] <unfo> BashItOut: plus, we know most people mean well but it lets us vet what you say to make sure you don't say any wrong advice just in case :)
[19:11] <Scunizi> chamunks: yep..
[19:11] <chamunks> Scunizi, either way the state of things arent 100% opensource yet.  Which in an ideal world the would be.
[19:11] <BashItOut> kk
[19:11] <unfo> openros: that is also why you should usually not accept help by PM.  :)
[19:11] <DRebellion> earthling, System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution
[19:11] <openros> came back to main channel
[19:11] <carandraug> chamunks: they can't enforce proper drm in Windows either
[19:11] <chamunks> Scunizi, i guess proprietary has a place in the economy...
[19:12] <earthling> DRebellion: yeah.. but things arent changing
[19:12] <BashItOut> openros: Right, so you get that error message (better re-paste it here)
[19:12] <lacostej> anyone knows how I can record my screen (e.g. a presentation) together with the stream coming from my webcam (so that I produce 2 synchronized streams) ?
[19:12] <cheeky> carandraug: i could.. but i would prefer to play it in the browser; . ...you think you could help me sort this out ?
[19:12] <RoRza> anyone here use the Belkin external wirless card MCPCIA ?
[19:12] <macd> The-Compiler, check out dmesg http://pastie.org/270659  looks like linux doesnt support the filesystem type (windows however does)  but its listed as fat32 in win.
[19:12] <chamunks> carandraug, HAH that is very true.  Drm is a sad sad goose chase.
[19:12] <openros> Kinit : name_to_dev_t(/dev/disk/by-uuid/64190218-2559-41ac-b167-a09920fbee4) = sda(8,8) kinit : trying to resume from /dev/disk/by-uuid/64-190218-2959-41ac-b167-a099207fbee4 Kinit : No resume image , doing normal boot ...
[19:12] <openros> this is my error msg
[19:12] <Scunizi> chamunks: no arguments there.
[19:12] <unfo> RoRza: you seem to keep asking the same question but not getting any help.  do you know why?
[19:13] <earthling> DRebellion: model shows up as LCD but its isnt .. i have normal monitor and the resolution is all messed up
[19:13] <RoRza> ?
[19:13] <carandraug> cheeky: try downloading the movie to check the origin. To see if it's slugish when viewing with a media player as well. Will help finding the origin of the problem
[19:13] <BashItOut> openros: And this is Ubuntu - installed local to the Hard Drive?
[19:13] <chamunks> carandraug, i mean i love the fact that i can encrypt my own stuff so people cant access it without a sizable ammount of effort but the fact is people dont know why they would be digging in my business, games are just fun to crack.
[19:13] <unfo> RoRza: let me find you a web reference to why
[19:13] <chamunks> carandraug, and everyone benefits.
[19:13]  * dundel Kill - One Tree Hill - Jimmy Eat World (x«amarok)
[19:13] <openros> BashItOut: help me out pls
[19:13] <Pici> dundel: Please disable such scripts if you're going to idle in this channel.
[19:14] <chamunks> Scunizi, you wouldnt happen to have a link or know the ubotu for edititng the grub?
[19:14] <dundel> oeps sorry
[19:14] <The-Compiler> macd, looks like some data became corrupted or something I guess :/
[19:14] <dundel> just installed it
[19:14] <Scunizi> !grub | chamunks
[19:14] <earthling> what is the command to reconfigure screen .. forgot :-(
[19:14] <chamunks> Scunizi, i have a feeling this will be quite the hack but after i get this i can allways just image my portable drive for later use.
[19:15] <macd> The-Compiler, thats what I thought, so I used the phones format utility, same errors. odd. now I have to dedicate a usb port to windows in the vm
[19:15]  * macd growls at linux
[19:15] <Scunizi> earthling: xrandr -a 1280x1024 (or whatever)
[19:15] <unfo> RoRza: i found a reference but am checking it is polite before I point you there
[19:15] <BashItOut> openros: Maybe ask someone else?
[19:15] <BashItOut> openros: Sorry
[19:15] <cheeky> carandraug: errrr m8 ... we have another problem..i was straming music using VLC.. and i tried to check if my the browser played it smoothly ..but .. there no sound .. now..comeing from the broser..so i stopped the vlc .. and then ..i played the video ..again .. but still no sound .. and nowi dont even have sound from my stream!!
[19:15] <BashItOut> openros: I need some more information to be able to help
[19:15] <unfo> RoRza: no, the smart-questions essay is rude.  Instead see http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
[19:15] <chamunks> Scunizi, would i have to tweak things in grub much to get my usb harddrive working with it?
[19:15] <earthling> Scunizi: i was guessing more on the lines of dpkg-reconfigure
[19:16] <Scunizi> cheeky: killall pulseaudio and see if that makes a difference.
[19:16] <BashItOut> openros: Does your GUI work?
[19:16] <RoRza> thx
[19:16] <BashItOut> openros: Or are you dumped into Command Line?
[19:16] <Scunizi> chamunks: not sure about that one... doo-able but I don't know how.
[19:16] <carandraug> cheeky: errr, you better follow their advices in that case. I'm not that good dealing with sound problems
[19:17] <farmakotriftis> i have a sound problem can anyone help plz????
[19:17] <macd> The-Compiler, [604543.124861] FAT: Directory bread(block 3860) failed
[19:17] <macd>   must be some inconsistency in FAT implementation on linux
[19:17] <unfo> RoRza: also: A) you are asking people if they use a Belkin.  probably nobody here uses a Belkin.  But maybe someone here knows how to help you make your belkin work.  B) we need a model number.  C) we need to know what you tried.
[19:17] <Scunizi> earthling: Oh.. that line.. you'll find that in the first part of (gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[19:17] <GoodFella_> hello everyone
[19:17] <unfo> all: was that last message I typed cropped?
[19:17] <unfo> GoodFella_: hi
[19:17] <farmakotriftis> hi
[19:17] <unfo> RoRza: :)
[19:17] <GoodFella_> i need help...my Firefox keeps crashing on different sites...it closes by itself...any help???
[19:17] <GoodFella_> unfo: hi unfo
[19:18] <RoRza> unfo, FYI ....  the model is FCD6020
[19:18] <cheeky> Scunizi:  umm no mate
[19:18] <unfo> farmakotriftis: I cannot, but maybe someone here can.  But not if you do not tell us what the problem is.  Please describe your problem in full on 1 line.  :)
[19:18] <unfo> RoRza: i don't know anything about wireless networking.
[19:18] <unfo> :)
[19:19] <GoodFella_> my Firefox keeps closing by itself on some sites...any way I can fix that???
[19:19] <RoRza> unfo, FYI ....  the model is F5D6020
[19:19] <niuq> hi, apache2 is an equivalent command of httpd?
[19:19] <niuq> i cant find httpd and im sure apache is working, so it has to be there...
[19:19] <Scunizi> cheeky: ok.. you can restart pulse audio with ... pulseaudio.. from the command line.  sorry no other suggestions.
[19:19] <will00> is there a way to set up thunderbird so that i can keep my rss feeds synchronized sort of like imap?
[19:19] <unfo> RoRza: i don't know anything about wireless networking.  So don't tell me, tell the channel.  Describe your entire problem in one long message.  Also, you seem to have typed two different model numbers.  Funny.
[19:20] <RoRza>  ....  the model is F5D6020
[19:20] <earthling> Scunizi: go it thanks
[19:20] <GoodFella_> need help fixing my Firefox problem
[19:20] <nicoleamy> how do i download the flash player
[19:20] <GoodFella_> can anyone help me?
[19:20] <cheeky> Scunizi:  hey  i did "dmesg | grep error" and it spat out two lines .. couldi show you .. like paste the lines inhere
[19:20] <unfo> RoRza: when describing a problem always tell: -your ubuntu version, -what you did, -what happened, -what you expected to happen, and -what you tried already.  Put it all in one long post.
[19:20] <nicoleamy> ?
[19:20] <GoodFella_> cheeky: you can go to paste.ubuntu.com and paste the output there and just paste here the URL
[19:21] <indra> did anybody using irssi
[19:21] <indra> ?
[19:21] <GoodFella_> cheeky: that way you don't flood

[19:31] <Scunizi> Guest99927: my first thought is to google for "Ubuntu net install" which should give you some links on how to put a bootloader and minimal files on a usb stick that will allow you to boot to it and install from the net.. downloading packages as it goes.. much slower but dooable.
[19:31] <garrettm> Can anyone help with connecting to Windows fileservers?
[19:31] <carandraug> Guest99927: it says you can do it from within windows. I've checked it now. Good luck
[19:31] <ricardoromao> nicoleamy, are you use some kind of update manager like synaptic or update manager ?
[19:31] <erUSUL> Kevin21: what's the problem? no package on the ubuntu archive matches your query so nothing is returned... expected behavior

[19:37] <nicoleamy> why does it take a long time
[19:38] <[eduard]> Scunizi : thanks! mine almost looks the same, only InputDevice    "Configured Mouse" is missing from the ServerLayout (but the mouse does work and wacom doesnt work!!)
[19:38] <ricardoromao> garrettm, yes and no, the configs files are in text mode, but the access to shares is GUI
[19:38] <john64> laeg, if so go to the places menu then the 'connect to server', select 'Windows Share' then fill in the form as necessary.  By default samba doesn't have a client gui
[19:38] <garrettm> john64: not sure, just the default Ubuntu Desktop 8.0.4; how do you find out?
[19:38] <bonez46> if I have my router... and then put a hub behind it, on one of the lan ports...can I then plug other PC's into that hub.. and have them all network each other AND also have web/WAN access too?
[19:38] <Scunizi> [eduard]: my mouse isn't a usb but a ps2.. that might be the difference.
[19:38] <john64> you are using gnome then
[19:38] <nicoleamy> why does it take a long time to kill all the processes?
[19:39] <garrettm> @ricardoromao: how do you set up the config files?
[19:39] <[eduard]> Scunizi: i have the   Option        "USB"           "on" lines
[19:39] <Scunizi> bonez46: yes if your router provides DHCP which most all do.
[19:39] <bonez46> ok..
[19:39] <john64> garrettm, try the thing i suggested, it is MUCH easier to use and set up
[19:40] <ricardoromao> garrettm, I chnage the workgroup and the security, its easy, have a lot os examples on the config file
[19:40] <ricardoromao> nicoleamy, what is the output of command ps -efwww | grep apt ?
[19:40] <[eduard]> Scunizi strange thing is, no "Configured Mouse" in my "ServerLayout" , but i do have a working mouse
[19:40] <nicoleamy> ricardoramao: i don't think it is actually killing all the processes
[19:40] <nicoleamy> what?

[19:55] <nicoleamy> my psp firmware verion is3.51 and i ment to download the firmware 3.50 instead and now my psp is completely messed up and i want to play the games i downloaded
[19:56] <Vladimir> i wonder... would having WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] enabled on my router be causing an issue?
[19:56] <nicoleamy> ahow do i downgrade my psp firmware
[19:56] <unfo> nicoleamy: that is off-topic
[19:56] <alkaliv2> I noticed that xmms has been replaced and it was my default for playing streamtuner streams.  Is there an alternative client?
[19:56] <unfo> nicoleamy: could you please find another channel that can help you?  :)  try #psp maybe?
[19:57] <[CK]Davros> john64, my sound card is integrated (part of the nforce motherboard) it has a "joystick" (MIDI) port
[19:57] <agoole> can anyone help me with vlc not shutting down? it keeps playing movies afterwards in ubuntu
[19:57] <unfo> alkaliv2: banshee and amarok are good alternative MP3 players to xmms.  I don't know what streamtuner is.
[19:57] <john64> [CK]Davros, oh right, cool.  sorry i can't help though
[19:57] <openro1> kinit: no resume image..doing normal boot
[19:57] <openro1> is my error msg
[19:57] <carandraug> alkaliv2: there's audacious. It's quite similar
[19:57] <openro1> help me to get the gui back
[19:57] <Gnea> alkaliv2, unfo: streamtuner is a frontend to internet radio streams
[19:58] <alkaliv2> carandraug, do you use streamtuner by chance?
[19:58] <Gnea> openro1: that's not an error, just a message.
[19:58] <carandraug> alkaliv2: but not sure about streamtuner though. Also, there's xmms2 but I never tried it myself
[19:59] <carandraug> alkaliv2: no
[19:59] <gidna> a
[19:59] <alkaliv2> carandraug, I just attempted to tackle xmms2 and it reminds me a lot of mpd with no frontend.  Audacious seemed incompatible with streamtuner.  Thank you for your help though
[19:59] <unfo> gidna: what is "a"?
[19:59] <openro1> but, when i boot in to my hardy, xserver doesnt start
[20:00] <openro1> startx doesnt work too
[20:00] <Slokunshialgo> openro1, does it give you any specific errors?
[20:00] <MarcoBXBRO1> what are the best advance book for ubuntu
[20:00] <Scunizi> alkaliv2: xmms2 isn't in the repo's anymore but a substitute is audacious
[20:00] <alkaliv2> openro1, did you do a standard ubuntu install or a minimal install
[20:00] <Slokunshialgo> openro1, have you edited your /etc/X11/xorg.conf at any point?
[20:01] <alkaliv2> Scunizi, is there a plugin for audacious to play streams or should it just be compatible like xmms was?
[20:01] <xhamahx> hello, i got stuck on low graphic mode, how can i get back to high graphic mode
[20:02] <Scunizi> alkaliv2: not really sure.. I believe that audacious is a fork of xmms so there should be plugins available.
[20:02] <alkaliv2> Scunizi, I'll check synaptic for any plugins.  Thanks

[20:02] <prkos> hi everyone, can anyone tell me where firefox profile is located?
[20:03] <unfo> prkos: why do you want to know?  do you have a firefox problem?  :)
[20:03] <unfo> we can help you with it.
[20:03] <prkos> I found the one under .mozilla/firefox but when I put my userChrome.css there it doesn't catch on
[20:03] <Guest49276> I can't load ubuntu in any resolution higher than 800 x 600
[20:03] <victor_> hey guys, is there an easy way to remove text of fileA from fileB?
[20:04] <noodlesgc> prkos ~/.mozilla
[20:04] <unfo> victor_: i don't understand the question fully, but I bet the answer is "not easily".
[20:04] <`Matir> Is anyone aware of a cross-platform photo organizer/tagger that can be used by multiple users across a network?
[20:04] <xhamahx> hello, i got stuck on low graphic mode, how can i get back to high graphic mode
[20:04] <hateball> victor_: clever usage of !cat and !grep and !sed should do it

[20:06] <xhamahx> carandraug, i did a update, and it got stuck and , i restart the laptop and it got low graphic mode
[20:07] <unfo> prkos: you PMed me can I help you here since it's loud.  The answer is no, sorry.  There are 3 reasons why.
[20:07] <carandraug> xhamahx: try updating again then. It may correct whatever's broken now
[20:07] <prkos> np, can you help here in the room then?
[20:07] <xhamahx> ok thanx carandraug

[20:09] <unfo> I0n: 1. it would be nice if you changed your nick to something easier to type than i, zero, n :)
[20:09] <I0n> Ion was taken
[20:09] <unfo> I0n: 2. summarize it in here.  50 words or less.
[20:09] <unfo> I0n: how about ion-
[20:09] <unfo> or ion`
[20:10] <Gnea> unfo: don't be lame.
[20:10] <unfo> ion-: thanks :)
[20:10] <rastafarix> Hello, how can I download code blocks, I mean is there any apt-get install command for code blocks, thank you very MUCH!
[20:10] <unfo> Gnea: what do you mean?  it is hard for me to type it.
[20:10] <prkos> I have userChrome.css that I've copied from my other comp, and I've put it in ~/.mozilla/firefox/blah.default/chrome but I don't see the changes in Firefox when I open it
[20:10] <Gnea> unfo: so? it's not hard for me to type, or anyone else, for that matter.
[20:10] <alkaliv2> Scunizi, turns out I wasn't patient enough with audacious. Waited a little longer and it started up :)
[20:11] <ion-> I'm on a Dell Dimension 4700 using an Intel Chipset video card. I tried to configure my video driver because ember was running very slow by running nvidia-xconfig, which had problems with my mouse and keyboard, then used ctrl-alt-backspace and I cannot load Ubuntu (v8.04) with any screen resolution higher than 800 x 600.
[20:11] <rastafarix> Do not ignore me please
[20:11] <Scunizi> alkaliv2: :)
[20:11] <rastafarix> Hello, how can I download code blocks, I mean is there any apt-get install command for code blocks, thank you very MUCH!
[20:11] <Gnea> !patience | rastafarix
[20:12] <unfo> Gnea: i rely heavily on tab completion.  that is why i personally prefer that people do not put numbers in the first 3 chars of their nicks.  it is up to them what to do of course, i do not set any rules
[20:12] <alkaliv2> rastafarix, this link should help you http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_nightly_build_on_Ubuntu
[20:12] <unfo> alkaliv2: it's not in apt???
[20:12] <unfo> not even in universe?
[20:12] <alkaliv2> unfo, I did a package google search and thats what came up
[20:13] <sls_> I just called and tried to order a Lenovo with linux pre-installed, and was told that Lenovo no longer supports linux and that I would have to buy atleast Vista basic. Is that true? What a set back! What hae you heard?
[20:13] <Gnea> unfo: so do I, but that doesn't give me the right to tell someone that they need to change their nick because it's inconveniencing my typing style.
[20:13] <Gnea> unfo: so adapt and move on.
[20:13] <alkaliv2> rastafarix, if you have hardy heron I'd go with this link http://www.futuredesktop.org/codeblocks_on_ubuntu_8.04.html
[20:13] <unfo> Gnea: it was meant as merely a polite suggestion.  i guess you saw it as seeming rude how i wrote it?
[20:13] <Gnea> ion-: you can change it back, if you want. in fact, you should register it.
[20:14] <unfo> ion-: gnea is right
[20:14] <Gnea> unfo: the concept, itself, is rude.
[20:14] <ion-> gnea: can you point me in the right direction/
[20:14] <limitedwisdom> about to have a mental breakdown - it doesn't seem like perl is enabled by default in ubuntu 8.04 - the line PerlRequire is unknown in my apache2 config file. Can anyone help this newbie out? (apache won't start)
[20:15] <annoyed> anyone know how to make firefox not make me jump through 5 hoops to see a site with a self signed cert?
[20:15] <unfo> Gnea: ion-: how's this as a summary? "You can make your nick be whatever you want.  if you avoid numbers in the first 3 chars of your nick, it will make it easier for unfo to help you. But feel free to do whatever you want."
[20:15] <Gnea> ion-: /nick I0n, then /msg nickserv help
[20:15] <Vladimir24> I hate wireless networking on this
[20:15] <annoyed> I can't find an about:config setting... am I missing it? or does it not exist?
[20:15] <unfo> annoyed: maybe you can right-click and add it?  I dunno
[20:15] <ion-> unfo: i take no offense, i'm actually glad to learn that having numbers in the first three letters of a name can cause problems
[20:16] <Gnea> ion-: it usually doesn't cause problems :)
[20:16] <unfo> only for me.
[20:16] <annoyed> unfo: nah... it takes 4 or 5 steps regardless.... no amount of right clicking fixes this ;)
[20:16] <unfo> annoyed: no, right-click inside about:config settings list and go "New"
[20:16] <unfo> does that work?
[20:17] <ion-> gnea: so how do i change my video settings back? do you want the steps i took to get here?
[20:17] <annoyed> unfo: ah, I can see all the settings, none of them seem to pertain to my problem though... (no "allow self signed certs" setting or anything)
[20:17] <Gnea> ion-: sure
[20:17] <unfo> annoyed: dunno.  Maybe try server irc.mozilla.org channel #firefox
[20:18] <unfo> maybe what you want is impossible though.
[20:18] <tavl_> anyone knows why i can use X11 fwd (through ssh), when logging as root, but get an "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication" when trying with another user?
[20:18] <prkos> I have userChrome.css that I've copied from my other comp, and I've put it in ~/.mozilla/firefox/blah.default/chrome but I don't see the changes in Firefox when I open it
[20:18] <annoyed> unfo: lame...  I guess I can d/l the source and try "fixing" it myself... lol perhaps a fork is in order
[20:19] <unfo> ion-: as for your Xorg question, i have no idea. :( maybe try asking again in channel?
[20:19] <alkaliv2> tavl_, does the user have the correct permission for the user?
[20:20] <unfo> annoyed: there is an excellent reason why the new default is as it is.
[20:20] <alkaliv2> tavl_, sorry, I mean does the user have the permission to access X11
[20:20] <tavl_> alkaliv2: i dont know... i think this is the problem, but i dont know where to check for it
[20:20] <energY> How to make wubi a real install?
[20:21] <alkaliv2> tavl_, did you build the user when you installed ubuntu or did you add the user afterwards with the program adduser or something?
[20:21] <unfo> energY: did you check the wubi website for the answer first? :)
[20:21] <ion-> gnea: sudo nvidia-xconfig, which came up with an error in /etc/X11/xorg.conf "CorePointer device and CoreKeyboard device not found" then restarted and Ubuntu will not load higher than 800 x 600 res
[20:21] <tavl_> alkaliv2: if the question is if the user can access the X11, as running any graphical application, locally, yes, it can...
[20:21] <Gnea> energY: it's not meant to be - but you can download an ubuntu .iso and install that
[20:21] <alkaliv2> tavl_, then unfortunately you've left my league
[20:21] <alkaliv2> sorry
[20:21] <unfo> Gnea: i hear it is possible using LVPM
[20:21] <tavl_> alkaliv2: i added it later
[20:21] <energY> unfo: I have installed wubi. I need a real install. And the wubi install is what I have to deal with. My cd-rom wont boot
[20:22] <Gnea> ion-: o.O ouch... have you tried reconfiguring X?
[20:22] <Vagilinux> can i share a printer on ubuntu with a windows network?
[20:22] <alkaliv2> tavl_, you may need to add the user to the appropriate groups to access it
[20:22] <unfo> energY: did you check the wubi website and its FAQ for your answer? :)
[20:22] <unfo> Vagilinux: yes.
[20:22] <unfo> I dunno how.
[20:22] <energY> unfo: Link?
[20:22] <Vagilinux> unfo: thx
[20:22] <unfo> energY: i am a volunteer.  Please search google :)
[20:22] <ion-> gnea: ive looked at the config and my video driver is set to nvidia, and I should be using an Intel Chipset
[20:23] <InHisName> I messed with installing nvidia driver and ended with this error. "I could not start your session and so I have started the failsafe xterm session"  I have uninstalled the nvidia, but the error is still there during boot. How do i fix?
[20:23] <Gnea> energY: i stand corrected: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html
[20:23] <alkaliv2> ion-, I'm new to your issue but do you have a nvidia card in your computer?
[20:23] <HCIS_Helpdesk> OH MY GOD HOW DO I DO THAT THING THAT I WANT TO DO ???
[20:23] <ion-> alkaliv2: no I don't that was my mistake
[20:23] <Gnea> !caps | HCIS_Helpdesk
[20:24] <unfo> !gq | HCIS_Helpdesk
[20:24] <alkaliv2> InHisName, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in the drivers section change the driver to say "nv"
[20:24] <unfo> annoyed: basically, when Alice uses encryption to send a message to Bob, that usually makes sure only Bob can read it.  but if Bob uses a self-signed cert, then Alice doesn't know if Bob is the real Bob or an imposter.  But self-signed certs cause newbie users to see a lock.  So they think it's guaranteed they are talking to Bob.  Bad.  Makes sense?
[20:24] <unfo> annoyed: was my message clipped in the middle?
[20:24] <Gnea> ion-: that's odd, what does lspci | grep VGA  return?
[20:24] <ion-> alkaliv2: ok i'll try that
[20:24] <InHisName> Ok, I'll try that, alkaliv2
[20:24] <alkaliv2> ion-, so you need it to load the intel driver is what you're saying from console?
[20:25] <ion-> alkaliv2: yes
[20:25] <alkaliv2> ion-, lol don't put nv in there then.  It's for nvidia cards
[20:25] <prkos> I started Firefox profile manager but I don't see any profiles there, no default, could that be connected to the userChrome.css issue?
[20:25] <unfo> prkos: yes.  You need expert help
[20:25] <annoyed> unfo: I'm not really concerned about any of that honestly.  It's more a matter of "this should be optional"
[20:25] <unfo> prkos:  I am not an expert.  I recommend irc.mozilla.org #firefox
[20:26] <ion-> alkaliv2: is there some easy diagnotic tool that will reconfigure to the correct driver?
[20:26] <annoyed> unfo: I  mean, I get it, don't get me wrong.  I'm a developer, I do encryption software... I don't need a nanny though
[20:26] <alkaliv2> ion-, run lspci from console and I
[20:26] <alkaliv2> ion-, will help you figure out what driver to put in xorg.conf
[20:26] <unfo> annoyed: but then some well-meaning "experts" will set their grandparents' PCs to accept self-signed certs as gold
[20:26] <annoyed> unfo: that's their business
[20:26] <unfo> annoyed: that actually hurts the grandparents.
[20:26] <energY> It says nothing about it in the wubi fa
[20:26] <energY> q
[20:27] <unfo> oops ageism s/grandparents/newbie friends/g
[20:27] <ion-> alkaliv2: ok theres a lot of info
[20:27] <unfo> sorry.
[20:27] <annoyed> unfo: sorry, freedom is far more important than security
[20:27] <annoyed> unfo: always has been
[20:27] <annoyed> unfo: always will be
[20:27] <prkos> unfo thanx, ill ask there, i thought it might be ubuntu specific as FX is special for ubuntu
[20:27] <unfo> annoyed: that is why firefox lets you fork it :)
[20:27] <MarcoBXBRO1> where do you select 4.1.1 in your current session
[20:27] <unfo> prkos: hmmm
[20:27] <annoyed> unfo: yep... or use opera ;)
[20:27] <unfo> prkos: try there first.  If they send you back here, ask here instead.  But they may be able to help you
[20:28] <ion-> alkaliv2: what do you want from the lspci?
[20:28] <prkos> thanx i will
[20:28] <unfo> prkos: to help you faster.
[20:28] <Gnea> annoyed: right, which is why it's better to leave your door wide open at night so that the known armed thief down the street can walk in and rob you :)
[20:28] <neeto> So I want to play me some spore, and unfortunately it doesn't look like directX is gonna wanna install on wine, so I have to get some sort of windows partition. I have an extra harddrive on which I will install the new OS, because I don't wanna screw with any of my pre-existing partitions, but the problem I see with this is that windows will probably overwrite GRUB. How do I get GRUB back?
[20:28] <alkaliv2> ion-, just the intel readout that mentions graphics
[20:28] <terror_> кто то говорит по русски...
[20:28] <unfo> neeto: wine comes with directx built in.  see channel #winehq for more
[20:28] <terror_> ??
[20:28] <unfo> !ru | terror_
[20:28] <alkaliv2> ion-, like 945i or something
[20:28] <Pici> !ru | terror_
[20:28] <unfo> terror: ok?
[20:28] <Pici> !grub > neeto
[20:28] <terror_> ок
[20:28] <noodlesgc> neeto what you could do is just set up a virtual machine
[20:29] <terror_> ))))
[20:29] <unfo> funny how terror_'s "ok" showed up in cyrillic small caps :)
[20:30] <ion-> alkaliv2: lspci gives me host bridge, pci bridge, vga compatable controller, display controller, pci bridge, usb controllers, multimedia audio controllers...
[20:30] <alkaliv2> ion-, I googled the driver.  Try sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in the drivers section put in "intel" save, exit, and restart X
[20:30] <ion-> alkaliv2: ok great i'll try that
[20:31] <alkaliv2> I've had more problems with my nvidia card than I even care to talk about
[20:32] <ph0rensic> alkaliv2: never had any problems with nvidia
[20:33] <solvanora> hi, my ubuntu is behaving like windont today. I installed Enemy Territory (OpenGL game) today, but upon restart ubuntu freezes and keeps frozen. I used the install quide from the ubuntu quide. Anyone experienced similair problems?
[20:33] <alkaliv2> ph0rensic, I think it's just because I picked an rare agp card so I have to get a custom kernel installed and such
[20:33] <unfo> solvanora: the word "freezes" in your question does not tell us enough.
[20:33] <solvanora> ok
[20:33] <ph0rensic> solvanora: I had sound issues with enemy territory but no freezing issues
[20:33] <solvanora> sound didnt work either
[20:33] <solvanora> before i restarted ubuntu
[20:33] <ph0rensic> alkaliv2: are you serious? what card is it?
[20:34] <unfo> solvanora: and "sound didn't work either" doesn't tell us enough either :)
[20:34] <alkaliv2> ph0rensic, 7800 GS.  Any driver later than 100.14.19 loads me to a black screen.  I gave up and compiled a 2.6.22 and installed the drivers
[20:34] <st3ph> i need help
[20:34] <solvanora> it freezes just before the date, network manager and similiar additional programs load
[20:34] <unfo> !gq > st3ph
[20:34] <funkyfly> How can I check what local ip I have in Ubuntu?
[20:35] <solvanora> @unfo, sound is not the least of my problems
[20:35] <solvanora> my ubuntu is now useless, who cares about the game :D
[20:35] <alkaliv2> lol
[20:35] <unfo> solvanora: i am sure the freezing is.  but if you tell the channel "it freezes" we can't help you.
[20:35] <unfo> :)
[20:35] <st3ph> lol
[20:35] <unfo> we need more info.
[20:35] <jareth_> funkyfly: /sbin/ifconfig
[20:35] <XtremeGreat> is that bug, which didn't allow mounting of nikon cameras been resolved?
[20:35] <Siph0n> funkyfly, ifconfig
[20:35] <st3ph> yeah i betr
[20:35] <unfo> st3ph: you better what?
[20:35] <funkyfly> ty! ;)
[20:36] <unfo> :)
[20:36] <st3ph> ok i dowloaded skype but im not able to call anyone
[20:36] <solvanora> dont know how to provide more info, other than elaborate more on when it freezes
[20:36] <DreamLnr> hello
[20:36] <alkaliv2> solvanora, can you ctrl+alt+backspace?
[20:36] <unfo> solvanora: that would help us
[20:36] <XtremeGreat> Oh shit trouble in the building...
[20:36] <solvanora> what is ctrl alt backspace?
[20:36] <unfo> DreamLnr: no need to say hello, just start typing :)
[20:36]  * solvanora complete newbee to linux
[20:36] <AliTabuger7> ctl alt backspace kills X
[20:36] <Gnea> solvanora: pressing the ctrl, alt and backspace keys together
[20:36] <alkaliv2> solvanora, it basically resets the X portion of ubuntu back to the command line
[20:36] <ph0rensic> alkaliv2: I think my last card was a 7800 I dunno if it was gs or not.. but yes on agp and i had no issues
[20:36] <solvanora> similiar to ctrl alt del for windows?
[20:37] <patrick> hey guys
[20:37] <AliTabuger7> no
[20:37] <AliTabuger7> its more like an ultra fast restart
[20:37] <patrick> how do you set up a boot option in window vista
[20:37] <zapalony> Hello
[20:37] <alkaliv2> ph0rensic, I sir, am envious of you.  I'm going to build a new computer soon enough.  7 years it's time to let go I guess
[20:37] <ph0rensic> solvanora: not really ctrl-alt-del in windows brings up the task manager and you can restart from there
[20:37] <st3ph> anyonre knows how i configure my headset on ubuntu or on skype
[20:37] <solvanora> mmmh
[20:37] <unfo> Guest57021: zapalony: no need to say hello, just start typing :)
[20:37] <zapalony> Anyone who knows about kernel modules on Ubuntu? I'd appreciate some info
[20:37] <funkyfly> I run Ubuntu in virtualbox. wichever network I put it on, it gives me local ip <IP_ADDRESS>. Is there a way I can change it?
[20:37] <ph0rensic> solvanora: kiling X only restarts the dekstop session if you will
[20:37] <DreamLnr> i have a problem with my scanner. i start xsane, it starts searching for devices and suddenly throws an error "failed to open device v4l:/dev/video0 :invalid argument"
[20:38] <alkaliv2> zapalony, what module are you wondering about?
[20:38] <DreamLnr> how can i bypass that?
[20:38] <Gnea> solvanora: halfway - ctrl-alt-del is intended to restart/reboot the whole computer. killing X only kills the GUI, allowing it to restart without restarting the whole computer (this is why linux > windows - it doesn't tie the kernel and GUI into 100% reliance on each other)
[20:38] <unfo> zapalony: what are you really trying to do?
[20:38] <unfo> :)
[20:38] <DreamLnr> video0 is a builtin camera on a pc
[20:38] <solvanora> ok
[20:38] <solvanora> i understand
[20:38] <InHisName> alkaliv2: I have restarted with changing the driver "xx" to "nv", but the error still was there during reboot.  My screen is the requested resolution when starting $gnome-session to get a desktop to continue.  I can pastebin the xorg.conf file if it will help.
[20:38] <Guest57021> i got a question about booting from a USB
[20:38] <Guest57021> i just created a live USB ubuntu installer
[20:38] <alkaliv2> InHisName, send me the link to the pastebin
[20:38] <unfo> Guest57021: please ask us your entire question on one long line.
[20:38] <solvanora> but this doesnt fix the problem of freezing, i suspect it to just freeze again and again on the same spot
[20:38] <ph0rensic> alkaliv2: Yah I just got a new one within 2 months so I know the feeling! Use the old one as a file server or something useful
[20:39] <Guest57021> im in the boot option now ( F10) but i dont know how to make it read the USB
[20:39] <Guest57021> can any 1 helo nme
[20:39] <Gnea> Guest57021: helo
[20:39] <ph0rensic> Guest57021: Which boot option grub or in cmos?
[20:39] <energY> Can grub read fat32?
[20:39] <unfo> energY: yes
[20:39] <alkaliv2> InHisName, also if you could post your /var/log/xorg.0.log
[20:39] <Gnea> Guest57021: select a USB option to boot from
[20:40] <energY> unfo: So if I change the wubi boot location to usb it will boot fine?
[20:40] <funkyfly> I run Ubuntu in virtualbox. wichever network I put it on, it gives me local ip <IP_ADDRESS>. Is there a way I can change it? (Im a Ubuntu nub)
[20:40] <zapalony> unfo: Get Acer Crystal Eye webcam to work
[20:40] <tarelerulz2> Do any of you do trascoding   a lot ?  If so what do you use ?
[20:40] <Gnea> funkyfly: that's a virtualbox configuration issue
[20:40] <energY> tarelerulz2: vlc
[20:40] <ph0rensic> Guest57021: Also keep in mind some bios versions do not allow for booting to USB, or you may need to upgrade your bios to enable this feature.. check to make sure that the if you do have that option the usb drive is showing up in your drive list
[20:40] <Gnea> !vbox | funkyfly
[20:40] <zapalony> unfo: Can we priv please, not going to take you much time.
[20:40] <unfo> energY: i dunno, sorry
[20:40] <unfo> !pm | zapalony
[20:41] <unfo> zapalony: no, i don't pm, sorry :)
[20:41] <energY> unfo: You think it is probable?
[20:41] <zapalony> unfo: Ok, you're right
[20:41] <unfo> energY: i've never used wubi so i dunno
[20:41] <Guest57021> im in CSMOS
[20:41] <Krauss> Yeesh, I wondered why it seemed like Ubuntu was running slow
[20:41] <Krauss> My RAM is deathly low.
[20:42] <solvanora> i also sudo apt-get install esound, besides enemy territory
[20:42] <zapalony> unfo: My problem is that the uvcvideo driv conflicts with "ehci_hcd"
[20:42] <Guest57021> damn this sucks
[20:42] <solvanora> esound known to cause troubles?
[20:42] <ph0rensic> Guest57021: Did you see if your bios allows usb booting?
[20:42] <alkaliv2> zapalony, ehci_hcd is your usb port drivers
[20:42] <tarelerulz2> VLC, is ok for transcoding ,but it don't seem to work for converting stuff to .wmv  very well .  Do any transcoding tool support .wmv well
[20:42] <Krauss> Is there anyway to change the RAM in a laptop? I always thought this would be forbidden, somehow.
[20:42] <Guest57021> no it doesnt
[20:42] <unfo> zapalony: i don't use webcams, sorry, ask the whole channel.
[20:42] <Guest57021> actually im using the PSP memeory stick as a USB drive would that matter
[20:42] <ph0rensic> Krauss: Yes you can change RAM in a laptop
[20:43] <unfo> Krauss: yes, you'll need a screwdriver.  See the printed or PDF instruction manual that came with your laptop.
[20:43] <Guest78271> alkaliv2: still not working, i tried to use the configure video at startup and set vga to intel and still nothing
[20:43] <Krauss> Righto.
[20:43] <InHisName> alkaliv2: here is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/mfbe1ef7   "error" default to safe mode.
[20:43] <AliTabuger7> It is easy to add ram in laptop, it is one of the few things you can add.
[20:43] <Krauss> If I stil have that. This is 3 years old
[20:43] <zipper> I just downloaded the kernel source from the repos, but i get a lot of "wierd" errors in scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/ when i run 'make menuconfig' . Any ideas what could be wrong? I have 'build-essential'
[20:43] <DreamLnr> i have a problem with my scanner. i start xsane, it starts searching for devices and suddenly throws an error "failed to open device v4l:/dev/video0 :invalid argument". how can i fix that? video0 is my builtin webcam
[20:44] <unfo> Krauss: or bring the laptop to a store, they will show you where the screw in question lies
[20:44] <unfo> i think
[20:44] <zapalony> alkaliv2: Sorry, if I disable it?
[20:44] <Krauss> unfo: Thanks a million
[20:44] <Guest57021> wait i see
[20:44] <alkaliv2> Guest78271, are you using an X server right now?
[20:44] <Guest57021> it now
[20:44] <jareth_> zipper: you read the wiki about kernel compiling?
[20:44] <unfo> Krauss: welcome.
[20:44] <Guest57021> i found the boot from USB option
[20:44] <zipper> jareth_: didnt realize there was one, seeing how ubuntu is "mainstream". I'll get right on it, thanks
[20:45] <ph0rensic> Guest57021: OR you could always just install ubuntu :-)
[20:45] <zipper> i guess most users wouldnt compile their own kernel
[20:45] <alkaliv2> zapalony, well if you disable ehci_hcd you'll turn off your ability to access your usb ports not only via hotplug but altogether
[20:45] <solexious> [Q] Im looking for a non interactive comandline mail client that doesnt need sendmail
[20:45] <Guest57021> phorensic that link does not work
[20:45] <Guest57021> you mean download it an install it without a CD?
[20:45] <alkaliv2> zapalony, there is a way to remove the module and see if it fixes the problem but it's not a great idea
[20:45] <ion-> alkaliv2: i believe so
[20:45] <a-9> May someone tell something about what happens here that I am not able to download this theme ?
[20:45] <ph0rensic> Guest57021: Oh you cant burn a cd?
[20:45] <a-9> http://ubuntu.hamdi.web.id/themes/complete-green-theme-pack.html
[20:46] <Guest57021> no i have no CD DRIVE
[20:46] <ion-> alkaliv2: gnome
[20:46] <WastePotato> o_0
[20:46] <gamedev> hmm
[20:46] <WastePotato> No CD Drive?
[20:46] <alkaliv2> ion-, yea you're graphical.  what is the resolution right now?
[20:46] <zapalony> alkaliv2: Hmm. There's another driver "ohci" still running. Is "ehci" so necessary?
[20:46] <SpeCon> proftp is installed on my system (how can i remove this from my server)
[20:46] <ion-> alkaliv2: 800 x 600
[20:46] <unfo> Guest57021: the easiest thing to do is to buy a cd drive.  they are not that expensive.  There are other options too, though: type !install and press Enter to see them
[20:46] <unfo> Guest57021: then the IRC bot will answer you.
[20:46] <alkaliv2> zapalony, I'm not the end all be all of this knowledge but I think one is for usb speeds 1.1 and the other is speed 2.0
[20:47] <ion-> alkaliv2: lspci shows my vga and display as Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller
[20:47] <alkaliv2> zapalony, as to which is which, you'd have to google it
[20:47] <Denise> someone knows why I cant make my firewall  start at booting?
[20:47] <alkaliv2> ion-, that's what I was looking for. Give me a second to google
[20:47] <TrailWhisperer> I have 2 partitions at /media/disk-1 and /media/disk-2 from another distros installation that I'd like to be shown on the desktop at login. How would I do this. If I click on them in Nautilus, they appear on the desktop, but not initially.
[20:47] <alkaliv2> InHisName, did you post your xorg.0.log file yet to pastebin?
[20:47] <choco72> ma4way.net
[20:47] <unfo> choco72: are you a bot?
[20:47] <mkquist> anyone know how to change the audio output device for web media, like u-tube and such...  I have two sound cards
[20:48] <ph0rensic> a-9: Im getting a timeout on that
[20:48] <pisecx> Hi, is it possible to fix bug with "Human-Murrine" on beta?
[20:48] <Guest57021> !install
[20:48] <unfo> pisecx: what is your first language?
[20:48] <solvanora> is libgtk1.2 known to cause troubles with freezing ubuntu?
[20:48] <ph0rensic> a-9: have you tried looking at gnome-loog.org ?
[20:48] <Guest57021> well look i see the USB drive
[20:48] <Winston_SmithVT> SpeCon, Did you install using the package manager?
[20:48] <Guest57021> but how do i set it up to boot from it
[20:48] <jarlo> I'm unable to update server: Break in  dependencies caused by "Errors were encountered while processing:
[20:48] <jarlo> mysql-server-5.0_5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.3_i386.deb"
[20:48] <InHisName> alkaliv2: I will soon.
[20:48] <pisecx> unfo: russian
[20:48] <alkaliv2> ok
[20:48] <a-9> ph0rensic: Hmm. Let me take a look.
[20:48] <SpeCon> its on my debian server
[20:48] <zipper> jareth_ (and others), if i just need to re-build some modules with a patch applied, is the headers enough? To be honest, i'm not sure what the headers contain
[20:48] <zapalony> alkaliv2: I will. thanks anyway.
[20:48] <ion-> alkaliv2: here is my xconf, http://pastebin.com/me44d9e8
[20:49] <SpeCon> but im ubuntu user at home so i hope you want to help me
[20:49] <unfo> pisecx: did you know about #ubuntu-ru ? you may want to try them first, if they don't help you, try here
[20:49] <SpeCon> my server runs debian 4.0
[20:49] <pisecx> unfo: does it matter?
[20:49] <ph0rensic> Guest57021: You have to put the usb drive as the first bootpriority (or second as long as it comes before the HDD)
[20:49] <Ab3L> good night
[20:49] <pisecx> unfo: yes I know about ubuntu-ru. they know nothing about this problem, so I decided to ask here
[20:49] <unfo> pisecx: it doesn't matter, but your question was hard to understand.
[20:49] <Winston_SmithVT> SpeCon, I'll try i'm pretty green
[20:49] <unfo> pisecx: can you explain your question better?
[20:50] <pisecx> unfo: sorry, I thought it's a know issue on a 8.10 better
[20:50] <Guest57021> its USB hard drive right
[20:50] <unfo> pisecx: what ubuntu are you using, what did you do, what happened, what did you expect should happen
[20:50] <Guest57021> because thers USB DISKEET
[20:50] <alkaliv2> ion-, did you change the driver back to i810 or did it do that itself?
[20:50] <pisecx> unfo http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-8-10-Alpha-4-Screenshot-Tour-91907.shtml here is the description of new ubuntu 8.10 and they say about a bug with gnome look. I have the same, but has not found how to fix it.
[20:50] <unfo> pisecx: you are on intrepid?
[20:50] <pisecx> unfo yes
[20:50] <unfo> pisecx: see #ubuntu+1
[20:51] <unfo> we don't handle intrepid here :)
[20:51] <ion-> alkaliv2: when i started ubuntu a window poped up that says it can only run in low-video mode so I tried to configure the vga to intel
[20:51] <pisecx> g, thanks a lot, man! =)
[20:51] <zapalony> alkaliv2: You're right, ehci is 2.2 USB speed, while OHCI supports 1.1, but is open.
[20:51] <unfo> pisecx: no problem.  btw some free advice: you should use hardy instead, it works better for now :)
[20:51] <alkaliv2> ion-, got your solution right here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[20:51] <alkaliv2> ion-, your part is under the i810 driver section
[20:52] <pisecx> unfo, yes, I know, I use it. But I wanted to test a beta and install it on vmware machine
[20:52] <agoole> can anyone help me with vlc not shutting down? it keeps playing movies afterwards in ubuntu
[20:52] <alkaliv2> zapalony, I compiled a couple of kernels that needed both for my motherboard so I assumed that was the difference
[20:52] <st3ph> brb
[20:52] <Gnea> agoole: try the ESC key
[20:52] <unfo> pisecx: as you have seen, it still has bugs and is not ready for general public yet :)
[20:53] <agoole> Gnea: I tried it, but after the window closes, another one pops up, on its own, and keeps playing the next video in the playlist,
[20:53] <pisecx> unfo: yeah, you're right.. but october will come soon
[20:53] <agoole> Gnea: and if I close that, I can still hear the sound of the next video but no video
[20:53] <pisecx> unfo: I hope it will be ready
[20:53] <Gnea> agoole: how did u launch vlc? from terminal?
[20:53] <agoole> Gnea: i tried both terminal and just using the menu
[20:54] <zapalony> alkaliv2: I'm not really good at compiling, I'm going to disable "ehci" temporaily to let the webcam works, so I can think how to play around with this
[20:54] <alkaliv2> zapalony, I highly do not recommend this, but if you rmmod ehci_hcd you could see if that clears it up, but you will not have access to your usb modules until you modprobe it again
[20:54] <Gnea> agoole: try this in a terminal: killall -9 vlc
[20:54] <Winston_SmithVT> SpeCon, Sorry not to sure, it all depends on how you it was installed. You may beable to remove it by running sudo rpm -e proftpd that or removing it with the package manage sudo apt-get remove proftpd
[20:54] <unfo> pisecx: it will be ready when it's ready.
[20:54] <alkaliv2> InHisName, what kind of nvidia card do you have?
[20:54] <alkaliv2> InHisName, cause your board name says vesa
[20:54] <agoole> Gnea: ok that worked, but am I going to have to do it every time ? vlc always does this, cna't seem to fix it
[20:54] <pisecx> unfo: well, I'm software developer and can understand it =0
[20:54] <pisecx> =)
[20:55] <unfo> Winston_SmithVT: what do you mean "rpm"?
[20:55] <pisecx> unfo: all i want is the warkarround to fix this issue
[20:55] <coty91> I seem to have a bit of a problem with flash videos in firefox. When im on a site like youtube or msnbc and am watching something after awhile it seems to glitch out all over the screen and freeze my pc for a min or so then continues on. Anyone have some suggestions on how to fix this?
[20:55] <wat> What do I need if I want my linux computer to host a bunch of music and video files, that I can watch or stream? from my windows pc?
[20:55] <Gnea> agoole: well it depends on how you're using it - you said it's going from one video to another - you might want to try opening only one video file at a time instead of a whole bunch
[20:55] <w8tah> eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[20:55] <w8tah> as i am trying to start my snort server -- i am getting the following error during boot up :
[20:55] <mikebot> Does anyone know how I can load a .sub in the VLC player?
[20:56] <agoole> Gnea: but then vlc loops back to the start of the one vid :S , its like its toying with me
[20:56] <zapalony> alkaliv2: Yeah, I know what I hope is to have only 2.2 disabled.
[20:56] <unfo> mikebot: try channel #videolan
[20:56] <w8tah> as i am trying to start my snort server -- i am getting the following error during boot up  eth0: error while getting interface flags, no such device -- how do i remedy this?
[20:56] <alkaliv2> zapalony, you're a braver man than me.  Good luck
[20:56] <Lunar_Lamp> My machine crashed requiring a power-button restart.  Where can I find the logs from last time to see what went wrong?
[20:56] <mikebot> unfo: Thanks
[20:56] <wat> What do I need if I want my linux computer to host a bunch of music and video files, that I can watch or stream? from my windows pc?
[20:56] <strategy> Lunar_Lamp, most logs are in /var/
[20:56] <alkaliv2> Lunar_Lamp, /var/log/
[20:56] <ph0rensic> wat: you want like a shared folder on ubuntu???
[20:56] <strategy> Lunar_Lamp, if you can get a GUI up, system -> administration -> system logs
[20:56] <agoole> Gnea: bah, maybe i'll ban vlc altogether
[20:57] <agoole> Gnea: thanks for the help
[20:57] <DreamLnr> will somebody help me?
[20:57] <Gnea> agoole: that's weird, i've never had that problem
[20:57] <Gnea> gah
[20:57] <strategy> DreamLnr, ?
[20:57] <wat> I guess, im not 100% sure what I want, but I want my linux computer to have a bunch of music and videos and I want to be able to watch them on windows
[20:57] <alkaliv2> vlc is my hero
[20:57] <DreamLnr> i have a problem with my scanner. i start xsane, it starts searching for devices and suddenly throws an error "failed to open device v4l:/dev/video0 :invalid argument". how can i fix that? video0 is my builtin webcam
[20:57] <wat> would a shared folder accomplish that? or should I look into a file server of some sort?
[20:57] <strategy> DreamLnr, no idea sorry
[20:57] <jareth_> wat: i use mediatomb for streaming my mp3's
[20:57] <prkos> unfo: the problem with userChrome was in Ubuntu Firefox Modifications addon, when I disable it my settings are recognized. Where can I get help about that addon?
[20:57] <strategy> wat, you'd want samba or a webserver
[20:57] <zapalony> alkaliv2: Disabled. "Lsusb" still shows up all the devices
[20:57] <DreamLnr> so maybe you know how to disable that damn webcam on hp pavillion?
[20:58] <strategy> wat, or an ftp server
[20:58] <wat> thx
[20:58] <wat> k
[20:58] <alkaliv2> zapalony, lsusb is the utilities for messing with the usb ports
[20:58] <unfo> prkos: what is Ubuntu Firefox Modifications addon?  I have never heard of it.
[20:58] <strategy> wat, you can just type `httpd start' at a terminal and you have a webserver up and running
[20:58] <wat> so if I had an ftp server, would I have to DL the file before I could watch it on my windows pc?
[20:58] <wat> i want all of this done over the network etc
[20:58] <zapalony> alkaliv2: with so?
[20:58] <alkaliv2> zapalony, if you want the module closed you have to sudo rmmod ehci_hcd
[20:58] <unfo> wat: you want file sharing.
[20:58] <strategy> then go to http://your.ip.address/ in any browser
[20:58] <strategy> and bingo!
[20:58] <prkos> unfo: it came by default on ubuntu 8
[20:58] <unfo> wat: but I don't know how to do file sharing
[20:58] <zapalony> alkaliv2: That's what I did.
[20:59] <kbrosnan> unfo: it is something Ubuntu adds to firefox, tools -> addons -> extensions
[20:59] <wat> ya me neither
[20:59] <unfo> kbrosnan: prkos: ah i see.
[20:59] <prkos> its apt support for Fx extensions and plugins
[20:59] <Gnea> wat: samba would probably be best (it allows you to do the whole network neighborhood thing)
[20:59] <Gnea> !samba | wat
[20:59] <st3p1> can anyone help me with my headset, it plays only mono :S
[20:59] <alkaliv2> zapalony, when you type lsmod, does ehci show up in that list?
[20:59] <coty91> Can someone help me out flash videos glitch out all over my screen and cause my pc to freeze
[20:59] <wat> wow thx for all the help!
[21:00] <ABC> hi all
[21:00] <alkaliv2> coty91, what flash plugin are you using?
[21:00] <danielm_mc> whatup
[21:00] <unfo> st3p1: is your computer dual-boot?  if so, does the headset work in your other OS?
[21:00] <zapalony> alkaliv2: no, it's disabled
[21:00] <Gnea> coty91: in fullscreen or standard?
[21:00] <coty91> just standard
[21:00] <alkaliv2> zapalony, is the conflict still there?
[21:00] <ABC> i am "make" ing a program and it says C compiler cannot create executables. what should i do?
[21:00] <coty91> and im using the latest version
[21:00] <st3p1> yes it works perfect in windows but not in ubuntu
[21:00] <zapalony> alkaliv2: No.
[21:00] <Gnea> coty91: any particular site? youtube?
[21:01] <danielm_mc> ABC: sudo ?
[21:01] <unfo> Lunar_Lamp: did you find the Ubuntu Log Viewer in the top menu?
[21:01] <coty91> well the only ones i bother with are msnbc and youtube
[21:01] <alkaliv2> zapalony, does the webcam work?
[21:01] <ABC> danielm_mc: yes i am in root
[21:01] <danielm_mc> hrm
[21:01] <danielm_mc> paste output
[21:01] <zapalony> alkaliv2: now "uvcvideo" works just fine, I know that's weird, but that's how it is.
[21:01] <zapalony> alkaliv2: Yes
[21:01] <Guest88852> alkaliv2: intel video problem solved
[21:01] <st3p1> how i do the name thingy?
[21:02] <Gnea> coty91: try http://www.guzer.com/
[21:02] <alkaliv2> Guest88852, ion?
[21:02] <ABC> checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
[21:02] <ABC> checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
[21:02] <ABC> checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
[21:02] <ABC> checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
[21:02] <ABC> checking whether build environment is sane... yes
[21:02] <ABC> checking for gawk... gawk
[21:02] <FloodBot1> ABC: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:02] <unfo> st3p1: then i don't know how to fix it.  i guess ask the whole channel again
[21:02] <zapalony> alkaliv2: Should I blacklist "ehci", would you?
[21:02] <Gnea> !pastebin | ABC
[21:02] <Saulin> Could anyone help a newbie? I've somehow :( changed my opening session options and now just have the "no serving hosts were found" screen where I would normally have the sign on screen.  I've tried looking for a config file for the sessions, but have had no luck. Please advise...
[21:02] <unfo> that was rude of FloodBot
[21:02] <coty91> Gnea, alright one sec
[21:02] <ion-> alkaliv2: yes, thanks for the help
[21:02] <guntbert> ABC, danielm_mc: you don't need sudo just for make, only for make install
[21:02] <alkaliv2> zapalony, depends.  Are you using kernel 2.6.24?
[21:02] <Gnea> unfo: lol
[21:02] <alkaliv2> ion-, glad I could assist
[21:02] <ABC> ok
[21:02] <alkaliv2> ion-, so that wiki fixed it?
[21:02] <Lunar_Lamp> unfo: yes, but it was pretty useless.
[21:03] <unfo> all: does FloodBot not give a warning and second chance automatically?
[21:03] <Lunar_Lamp> No logs relating to the crash :-/
[21:03] <unfo> Lunar_Lamp: which logs did you look at?
[21:03] <st3p1> unfo im only 2 days on ubuntu and pretty lost
[21:03] <zapalony> alkaliv2: No, that's the problem. I've recently upgraded my distro, with the new kernel, but Ubuntu will non start up on that
[21:03] <Lunar_Lamp> unfo: the lot
[21:03] <ABC> http://paste.ubuntu.com/45908/
[21:03] <unfo> Lunar_Lamp: what hour, minute, and second did the crash happen?
[21:03] <Lunar_Lamp> unfo: about 10mins or so ago.
[21:04] <energY> Syslinux.cfg ubnfiel.txt ubnpathl.txt and vesamenu.c32, witch should I boot?
[21:04] <coty91> gnea, does the same thing and seems that some of the videos wont load and if they do play without glitching they look really choppy
[21:04] <Lunar_Lamp> I just see huge blank sections in the logs before the reboot logs.
[21:04] <danielm_mc> ABC - what does config.log say?
[21:04] <alkaliv2> zapalony, then for now, until there is another upgrade I would blacklist it so your OS is usable.
[21:04] <unfo> Lunar_Lamp: odd.  I don't know what the blank sections mean.
[21:04] <unfo> sorry
[21:04] <danielm_mc> ABC - also which kernel are you running 32 or 64 bit ?
[21:04] <Lunar_Lamp> unfo: when I mean blank, I mean nothing entered.
[21:04] <Lunar_Lamp> e.g. 20min gap with no log entries etc
[21:05] <guntbert> ABC: did you install build-essentials?
[21:05] <kbrosnan> prkos: probably need to report it to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0
[21:05] <ABC> danielm_mc: is says config log not found. running 32 2.6.20-15- generic
[21:05] <unfo> ABC: what program are you compiling?  and why didn't you use Add/Remove or Synaptic? :)
[21:06] <danielm_mc> ABC - you're kernel is way outdated
[21:06] <ABC> guntbert: i dont know
[21:06] <prkos> kbrosnan: i will
[21:06] <unfo> all: I hate how Windows' Add/Remove is not used to add.  Maybe we should rename Add/Remove in Ubuntu to Download / Install / Remove Software?
[21:06] <ABC> unfo: libsndfile
[21:06] <unfo> ABC: why do you need libsndfile?
[21:06] <unfo> what is the real problem
[21:06] <RediXe> How can I set up a "normal" user? I set up a xubuntu pc for someone and ran sudo passwd and set a new password. The user's password still works when running sudo or synaptic. Any way to make there password not a root password?
[21:06] <alkaliv2> unfo, well the cool thing about ubuntu is it actually does add and remove programs :)
[21:06] <alkaliv2> so windows should hand over the name
[21:06] <ABC> unfo: for ttyplay cuz my audio jack broke so i want to play audio from rs232
[21:07] <zapalony> alkaliv2: Ok, I will blacklist that
[21:07] <Gnea> unfo: lol that's what wine is for
[21:07] <zapalony> alkaliv2: What can be the reason the new kernel doesn't fire up my Ubuntu?
[21:07] <RediXe> !users
[21:07] <AliTabuger7> How about get/remove
[21:08] <alkaliv2> zapalony, was it a standard upgrade that you download or did you compile it yourself?
[21:08] <zapalony> zapalony: I guess, if I used it, the driver would be fine as it might have been patched.
[21:08] <guntbert> RediXe: a user doesn't need sudo to change her password
[21:08] <zapalony> alkaliv2: standard
[21:08] <giulio>  /msg NickServ identify <password>.
[21:08] <unfo> AliTabuger7: that'd be even better than the name i proposed I think :)
[21:08] <unfo> giulio: you did it wrong.
[21:08] <unfo> :)
[21:08] <alkaliv2> zapalony, did it boot or did it just say loading kernel?
[21:09] <zapalony> alkaliv2: the bootscreen showed up, and it just stucked
[21:09] <unfo> ABC: ttyplay is a console keystroke player, isn't it?
[21:09] <unfo> ABC: and how is it even possible to play audio over a serial port?
[21:09] <InHisName> alkaliv2: I finally pasted all the pages into here http://pastebin.com/m5aa8031e   boy that was long.   error failsafe layout.
[21:09] <ABC> unfo: yes and i am thinking of linking it to JACK
[21:09] <ABC> unfo: is says so
[21:10] <a-9> ph0rensic: The same problem on gnome-look.org...
[21:10] <clint_> anyone running CS source on ub8?
[21:10] <clint_> through wineHQ?
[21:10] <unfo> clint_: what is CS?
[21:10] <clint_> counter strike
[21:10] <ph0rensic> a--9 you cant download anything or just that file or what?
[21:10] <clint_> =)
[21:10] <unfo> clint_: and what is wineHQ? is that wine?
[21:10] <alkaliv2> zapalony, with the patches ubuntu adds it may have been a conflict between things the standard ubuntu user needs and your setup specifically
[21:10] <clint_> yea
[21:10] <clint_> i guess its the new version
[21:10] <unfo> clint_: then try channel #winehq first
[21:10] <AliTabuger7> i have css working on ubuntu 8.04
[21:11] <clint_> thanks
[21:11] <RediXe> guntbert: Well, I don't want the user to have access to the sudo password. I don't want them to try to run synaptic and be able to use their normal login password to open it. I want to have it work only with the root(admin) password. So I ran the sudo passwd to set the root password different from the user's password or was that the wrong thing?
[21:11] <unfo> clint_:  if they don't help you, come back
[21:11] <alkaliv2> zapalony, and honestly your webcam is the bad guy here because your usb drivers work fine
[21:11] <zapalony> alkaliv2: What do you mean?
[21:11] <unfo> ABC: please tell us one long line summarizing what is broken in your computer and what you want to do to fix it?
[21:11] <clint_> unfo how do you quote my name like that real quick?
[21:11] <alkaliv2> InHisName, give me a minute to look this over
[21:11] <alkaliv2> lol
[21:11] <clint_> i havent been on irc in 10 years
[21:11] <InHisName> alkaliv2: I have a GeForce 8500 GT   I had drivers installed for 64bit linux, but then encountered this failsafe display issue.  I have UNinstalled it until I fix it.
[21:11] <unfo> clint_: type "u" then "n" then "f" then press Tab
[21:11] <zapalony> alkaliv2: That' true. I'd like to start the newest kernel so I can find out if the driver works, without disabling "ehci"
[21:12] <clint_> awesome
[21:12] <clint_> unfo,
[21:12] <clint_> word!
[21:12] <unfo> clint_: :)
[21:12] <InHisName> alkaliv2: vesa was what It probably started with before I d/l the drivers from nvidia.
[21:12] <alkaliv2> zapalony, 2.6.25 is out and there are some great build guides in the ubuntu forums.  I'd say it's worth a shot
[21:12] <clint_> wheres a good guide on using terminal and a list of commands and what they do?
[21:12] <guntbert> RediXe: the sense of sudo is: the user needs just her own password ant not the root-pw, in fact in ubuntu the root-account is disabled by default, I see no reason to change that
[21:12] <ABC> unfo: my audio jack is broken so no sound is coming out of the speakers on my laptop. so i am planning to use ttyplay to play sound over serial port. also planning to use JACK to forward the sound to the ttyplay program
[21:13] <guntbert> *and
[21:13] <alkaliv2> InHisName, yea vesa is what I run when I can't use nv or nvidia but I put vesa in the driver section manually not under the board name
[21:13] <zapalony> alkaliv2: ok
[21:13] <unfo> ABC: ttyplay is not a sound program is it?
[21:13] <unfo> it is a keystroke recorder, part of ttyrec right?
[21:13] <Player2> I need some help with my screen resolution
[21:13] <unfo> !gq | Player2
[21:13] <alkaliv2> zapalony, and if it goes badly, at least this kernel works for you :)
[21:13] <ABC> unfo: it is
[21:13] <unfo> ABC: you cannot use a keystroke recorder to forward sound.  Sorry.
[21:14] <RediXe> I just want to lock the normal user from being able to play with synaptic or any system files. So I want the root account to be the only one able to.
[21:14] <alkaliv2> InHisName, did you use EnvyNG to install your drivers for you or did you use the package from nvidia's site?
[21:14] <RediXe> guntbert, ^
[21:14] <strategy> clint_, a list of commands: type this: `ls /sbin/' and `ls /bin/'
[21:14] <unfo> RediXe: what are the usernames of all the users you have created?
[21:14] <ABC> unfo: keystroke recorder?!
[21:14] <guntbert> !root | RediXe
[21:14] <unfo> ABC: this: http://0xcc.net/ttyrec/index.html.en
[21:14] <artti> Hey everyone. I have little question. How can i use somehow grep and if to check if last line in /var/log/messages contains like -- MARK --.
[21:15] <clint_> and how do i get to the root directory?
[21:15] <unfo> artti: why do you want to do that?
[21:15] <unfo> :)
[21:15] <strategy> clint_, 'cd /'...
[21:15] <clint_> like cd\ did for dos
[21:15] <zapalony> alkaliv2: Hmm
[21:15] <RediXe> unfo, It's a fresh install of xubuntu desktop with a username of data.
[21:15] <guntbert> clint_: yes, but with a space between cd and /
[21:15] <zapalony> alkaliv2: So, where should I start to look to know what's wrong with the newest kernel build?
[21:16] <unfo> RediXe: you should make another user.
[21:16] <unfo> RediXe: did you?
[21:16] <artti> unfo, first i have boring and secondly i have some ideas. It's just little game. Not very important.
[21:16] <unfo> artti: what ideas? :)
[21:16] <tyler_> Im having a bit of trouble with recordmydesktop, i install it but its not on my applications list
[21:16] <chazco> Hi... how can i recursively delete files ending with "~", interactively?
[21:16] <RediXe> unfo, No, just the one from the initial install. Figured I could lock that one down and only use the root account when support was needed.
[21:17] <alkaliv2> zapalony, well the guide shows using a ubuntu config file as the template.  Maybe locate the 2 modules conflicting and instead of using them as modules make them direct use in the kernel
[21:17] <InHisName> alkaliv2: After the Uninstall, vesa appeared in the xorg.conf file by the uninstaller.  I changed the driver one to "nv" and I got a better resolution when I manually enter $gnome-session to get desktop to run pidgin for chat. I got 640x480, now it is at 1280x1024 - what was in the xorg.conf file.
[21:17] <unfo> chazco: did you try kleansweep? or its gnome cousin, fslint
[21:17] <strategy> chazco, rm *~ isnt "interactive", but it'll delete everything ending in ~
[21:17] <strategy> make sure you dont execute rm ~ though, that could really screw stuff up
[21:17] <AliTabuger7> unfo, i created a brainstorm idea based on your idea: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/13068/
[21:17] <unfo> RediXe: why do you want to do that?
[21:17] <tyler_> Im having a bit of trouble with recordmydesktop, i install it but its not on my applications list
[21:17] <alkaliv2> InHisName, Have you tried using EnvyNG before?  Because it has had great success for a lot of people with that card
[21:17] <chazco> strategy - heh, i tried rm -r -i *~ with no luck :(
[21:17] <strategy> tyler_, lots of things wont show up there.
[21:17] <artti> unfo, maybe make some game...
[21:18] <strategy> tyler_, hit Alt+F2 and type the name of the program
[21:18] <naf> Anyone know of an issue where F-Spot comes up when you put in a card reader and hogs a huge amount of CPU - system is almost unresponsive?
[21:18] <InHisName> alkaliv2: Used package from nvidia, all I know so far. The docs are lengthy. But don't cover this issue.
[21:18] <RediXe> ubfo, It's an office and the user that will be using the computer only needs access to a few things and I don't want them getting crazy and screw something up.
[21:18] <RediXe> unfo, ***
[21:18] <unfo> artti: you want to make a game that checks for --MARK--? why? i would never play that game.
[21:18] <unfo> RediXe: what is ***?
[21:18] <tyler_> strategy: Ok thank you for your response, i typed it but nothing happened
[21:18] <RediXe> unfo, typo'd your name :P
[21:19] <strategy> tyler_, hm.
[21:19] <strategy> tyler_, how did you install it?
[21:19] <mac_> hej
[21:19] <strategy> with a .deb file, with apt-get or what?
[21:19] <unfo> RediXe: ah.
[21:19] <guntbert> RediXe: so you just remove that user from the"admin" group
[21:19] <unfo> RediXe: so make a second username for them, and make sure that user is not part of "admin"
[21:19] <strategy> tyler_, apt-get right?
[21:19] <artti> unfo, huh, i got it finaly. Just missing -e from grep.
[21:19] <tyler_> strategy: sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop
[21:19] <Lunar_Lamp> artti> Hey everyone. I have little question. How can i use somehow grep and if to check if last line in /var/log/messages contains like -- MARK --. <== if [ tail -1 /var/log/messages | grep "--MARK--" ] ; then echo "MARK!" else echo "NO MARK!"; fi
[21:20] <unfo> Lunar_Lamp: are you artti?
[21:20] <strategy> tyler_, it's not on your desktop, and not showing up with alt-f2?
[21:20] <Lunar_Lamp> unfo: no
[21:20] <tyler_> strategy: got it! had to instal gtf
[21:20] <strategy> tyler_, :D
[21:20] <tamer> how i can more resources to my synaptic ?
[21:20] <tyler_> strategy: thanks anyways
[21:20] <artti> if tail -n1 /var/log/messages | grep -e '-- MARK --'; then  echo 'hurrey'; else echo 'bad'; fi
[21:20] <Lunar_Lamp> unfo: I saw the question up the screen, and it was a pretty simple one to answer :-)
[21:20] <strategy> tyler_, no prob :p
[21:20] <ABC> unfo: oh...hmmm i thought ttyplay and ttyrec are different. but are there any other way i could play audio from another port?
[21:20] <unfo> Lunar_Lamp: ah i see you were replying.
[21:20] <artti> unfo, no he isn't
[21:20] <RediXe> unfo, can I do what guntbert suggested and just remove that user from admin group?
[21:20] <alkaliv2> InHisName, I personally recommend uninstalling the nvidia package by command NVIDIA-Linux-x86-xxx.xx.xx-pkg1.run --uninstall and then uninstalling all nvidia-glx-new from synaptic.  And then apt-get installing envyng and using it to install the latest
[21:21] <artti> unfo, maybe it's not actually not a game that you could play
[21:21] <unfo> RediXe: you want to remove your only nonroot user from "admin"?
[21:21] <InHisName> alkaliv2: I can try EnvyNG.  Is it in synaptic mgr or apt-get ?  First I want to be restored to booting ubuntu into a desktop WITHOUT two prompts 1. I have updated your files. OK.   2. The long error saying going to failsafe display.
[21:21] <RediXe> unfo, Why not? I have the root account to use.
[21:22] <unfo> naf: i don't know of such an issue.  But also try the official irc channel for f spot if one exists.
[21:22] <strategy> RediXe, really, dont use root..
[21:22] <guntbert> RediXe: no, after seconds of thinking my idea was bad, unfo is right, make a second user!
[21:22] <Saulin> how do you change the log in session to the standard sign in and not the "no serving hosts are found" screen?
[21:22] <alkaliv2> InHisName, the first I've never seen before, the second should be cleared up by envyng.  Make sure you uninstall the nvidia package before doing anything else though
[21:22] <naf> unfo: where would I find it?
[21:23] <RediXe> unfo, lol I'm a linux beginner still so I will make another user for myself and just take their user from the admin group but have mine with it.
[21:23] <unfo> naf: i dunno.
[21:23] <tamer> how i can watch TV channels from my ubuntu ?
[21:23] <linux_> Alguien sabe de algun irc de freebsd
[21:23] <balrog> whats the best foss reference management software tool?
[21:23] <linux_> ??
[21:24] <strategy> !best > balrog
[21:24] <unfo> linux_: es?
[21:24] <unfo> !es | linux_
[21:24] <InHisName> alkaliv2: I am not sure that it has to do with nvidia. I may have boogered up something in messing with a DVI and VGA monitor but not gotten it stable enough.  Then these messages came up. And I can't get rid of them.
[21:24] <unfo> linux_: pt_BR? pt_PT?
[21:25] <danielm_mc> gah anyone know how to create crl.pem in openvpn on ubuntu 8.04.1
[21:25] <danielm_mc> <-- hating easyrsa
[21:25] <guntbert> RediXe: yes, make a second user for yourself, put that one in the admin group (it doesn't do it automatically), then remove the first one
[21:25] <unfo> danielm_mc: i dunno but maybe try #ubuntu-server
[21:25] <alkaliv2> InHisName, you're slowly stepping out of my league.  I ran into a lot of problems with my nvidia setup but I run vga only and I don't really do dual monitors or have that nice of a video card :)
[21:25] <RediXe> guntbert, :)
