[05:01] <port7> Xquestoin: how do i stop xorg displaying a desktop bigger than my screen when i lower resolution?
[05:01] <beruic> jmullen: Is your name Mullen BTW or is it from somewhere?
[05:01] <lestat_> ok but i tried that it freezes
[05:01] <Der_Richter> Personally i recommend NOT using AMD64-dist for desktops, even if you DO have a 64-bit CPU. Programs written specifically for 64-bit will work fine. The rest... Well, let's just say it's not worth the trouble.
[05:01] <saskia> starzinger: lol, you're right
[05:01] <KenSentMe> lestat_, when does it freeze?
[05:01] <lestat_> i have a free partition of 80gbs
[05:01] <BSDinux> what freezes?
[05:01] <frozen4lyfe> how do u set proxy on linux?
[05:01] <starzinger> :)
[05:02] <SanderD> is it safe to use xgl by the way? when I tried it some weeks ago in gentoo (on another pc), it often crashed, but has it been improved lately?
[05:02] <jmullen> beruic: that's my name, chatzilla defaults to my username at work
[05:02] <saskia> frozen4lyfe: most of the time:  export http_proxy=http://somewhere:8080, something like that
[05:02] <starzinger> SanderD: I use xgl with compiz and all the fancy stuff on my laptop, using dapper
[05:02] <jer_> is there any linux app where i can make flash presentations?
[05:02] <lestat_> not sure i think when its half way
[05:02] <saskia> frozen: depends on your app
[05:02] <KenSentMe> lestat_, when you are installing or starting up?
[05:02] <lestat_> i dont get to any options
[05:03] <frozen4lyfe> its ubuntu
[05:03] <Xaero_Vincent> Does XGL and Compiz work on Kubuntu Dapper?
[05:03] <beruic> SanderD: As far as I know XGL should be inn rep on dapper...
[05:03] <lestat_> when i start my computer
[05:03] <SanderD> starzinger: okay, then I'll try it again :-)
[05:03] <BSDinux> jer_, native flash creation apps are still very very basic
[05:03] <SanderD> beruic, yes, I read it is, so I'll just try and see
[05:03] <BSDinux> jer_ you are better off installing wine+flash
[05:03] <errpast-wc> From commandline, how do I find the version of Ubuntu I am running
[05:03] <KenSentMe> lestat_, but the installation has finished?
[05:04] <saskia> uname -a ?
[05:04] <lestat_> i tried the live cd too and it doesnt work
[05:04] <beruic> SanderD: It better get June fast :D
[05:04] <lestat_> no im on a diff computer
[05:04] <toretore> does anyone here have compiled their own version of xmame? the one in the repos is just to old. just have a few question
[05:04] <jer_> what's wine?
[05:04] <saskia> beruic: will dapper delay again ??
[05:04] <Rod> hi!
[05:04] <BSDinux> wine is a framework to run win32 apps on linux.. check out winehq.org
[05:04] <beruic> saskia: Hope not, I really look forward to Firefox 1.5
[05:05] <lestat_> i install ubuntu on a diff computer
[05:05] <SanderD> does anyone know whether 3D acceleration for the ATI Radeon IGP 320M is supported by the open source drivers?
[05:05] <lestat_> but i want it on my computer and it freezes
[05:05] <SanderD> (otherwise I'll google it)
[05:05] <KenSentMe> lestat_, so your system hangs when you try to install ubuntu?
[05:05] <Der_Richter> lestat_: Try the live-cd on another computer. If it works for u there... Look at what differs between the computers. Impossible for us to say the problem, without having physical access to your machine. I guess.
[05:05] <starzinger> Xaero_Vincent: I've read that it works for the most part, but sometimes there are more problems than with ususal ubuntu dapper
[05:05] <beruic> Who was having trouble with Nvidia drivers?
[05:06] <errpast-wc> what commandline command will tell me what ubuntu version I'm running
[05:06] <lestat_> i did that
[05:06] <errpast-wc> uname -a tells me kernel.  I was hoping for "Breezy 5.1"
[05:06] <purple^haze> libsexy2 what is this about
[05:06] <starzinger> bbl
[05:06] <lestat_> it work on a diff. computer
[05:06] <lestat_> could it be in bios
[05:06] <beruic> saskia: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper
[05:06] <saskia> errpast-wc: grep "reezy" /etc/*
[05:06] <lestat_> by chance
[05:06] <wd3> installed shadow image for gdesklet and the sensor bin isn't being recognzd after install help.
[05:06] <Der_Richter> lestat_: Ok. So... what is the difference between the machines? Hardware?
[05:06] <BSDinux> lestat_, does the cd boot?
[05:06] <beruic> lestat_: nvidia?
[05:07] <lestat_> nvidia yes
[05:07] <MrKubuntuUser> How would I go about setting up a printer so that output goes directly to the printer instead of being spooled?  Is that possible?
[05:07] <beruic> lestat_: Trouble with driver?
[05:07] <lestat_> the cd boots
[05:07] <lestat_> its updated
[05:07] <Der_Richter> lestat_: Do u see the ubuntu splash, the initial loading screen?
[05:07] <Xaero_Vincent> starzinger, maybe things will work better when official Kubuntu is released
[05:07] <lestat_> no
[05:08] <purple^haze> anybody know .wmv converting tools?
[05:08] <Xaero_Vincent> I wont use gnome because I need the extra features and eyecandy of KDE.
[05:08] <lestat_> this computer is a pent. and mine is a adm.
[05:08] <beruic> purple^haze: I'm looking at transcode in a moment...
[05:08] <Der_Richter> lestat_: Taking a wild guess.... Could be something with your cd-drive? Something messing with the autoboot? BIOS-setting?
[05:08] <lestat_> could that be the diff.
[05:08] <livingdaylight> hi guys, is libdvdcss2 still a required plugin for dvd playback?
[05:09] <GeorgeAScott> i'm looking for some sort of scripting channel
[05:09] <Jimmey__> Xaero_Vincent, Gnome can look just as nice / nicer than KDE
[05:09] <lestat_> i have 2 drives i tryed both
[05:09] <GeorgeAScott> gnome rocks
[05:09] <Jimmey__> GeorgeAScott
[05:09] <Jimmey__> Amen to that!
[05:09] <lestat_> its set to boot from disk drive first
[05:09] <Der_Richter> lestat_: What version of ubuntu is it? Latest i386?
[05:09] <lestat_> 5.10
[05:10] <Der_Richter> lestat_: i386?
[05:10] <Xaero_Vincent> KDE has animation effects... plus 1000x more functional... with Gnome I cannot even configure my screensavers or restore files from the trash bin... etc.
[05:10] <beruic> lestat_: try booting from cd?
[05:10] <lestat_> how do i check that
[05:10] <deyan> 5.10 is the latest release version
[05:10] <Rod> i cant get my dwl 122 wireless to work... Althought ndgtk says the driver is well installed and recognised, it wont show up in the networking window...  Any ideas where to find help, or where the problem is? (yeah, somewhere between the chair and monitor lol)
[05:10] <deyan> the development version is dapper 6.06
[05:10] <lestat_> on the cd it say 5.10
[05:11] <Der_Richter> lestat: Is it for 64-bit?
[05:11] <lestat_> yes i tried booting from d
[05:11] <lestat_> cd
[05:11] <lestat_> no it says for your pc
[05:12] <Der_Richter> lestat_: You haven't downloaded it and burnt it yourself?
[05:12] <errpast-wc> saskia: Perfect.  Thanks
[05:12] <jenda> lol... that was quick...
[05:12] <KenSentMe> guys, when i install ubuntu on a system with a ati card an soundcard, will ubuntu work when i use it in a system that has amd instead of pentium and no ati or soundcard?
[05:12] <saskia> errpast-wc: what was the file? :D
[05:12] <beruic> How do I get rid of unused packages?
[05:12] <wd3> gnome rocks here's my screenshot.....http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12171
[05:12] <KenSentMe> i want to install a new server without having to stop my running server
[05:13] <lestat_> no i ordered the disk
[05:13] <pashminet> can someone please help me?
[05:13] <livingdaylight> guys, can i ask again, is anyone acquainted with libdvdcss2 being relevant still or not. I don't see it in repositories is all, thx!
[05:13] <maxtor> hola alguien puede ayudarme ?
[05:13] <boon> hello
[05:13] <toretore> a good grafhical reader for pdf? xfce4?
[05:13] <beruic> pashminet: What's the deal?
[05:13] <toretore> !pdf
[05:13] <ubotu> well, pdf is Pretty Dumb Format, or the Portable Document Format created by Adobe to replace PS for use with Acrobat or viewable with xpdf/kpdf/gpdf, adobe reader (free download, but closed source) or gv/gnome-gv. use ps.gz instead!
[05:13] <saskia> maxtor: inglesh, comprende?
[05:13] <beruic> pashminet: ask instead of asking for help...
[05:13] <Xaero_Vincent> gnome... braff oooowwwgaaghaha... :P
[05:14] <maxtor> ok
[05:14] <Xaero_Vincent> barf*
[05:14] <wd3> Xaero_Vincent,  check out my screenshot... :o)
[05:14] <pashminet> well, when i try to run the livecd, it says that it fails to load 'x' or something
[05:14] <MrKubuntuUser> Anybody?  How would I go about setting up a printer so that output goes directly to the printer instead of being spooled?  Is that possible?
[05:14] <maxtor> i have a install  ubuntu
[05:14] <maxtor> 5.04
[05:14] <livingdaylight> oh, common
[05:14] <Xaero_Vincent> when I can do everything that I can with KDE then we'll talk. :).. but hey its still Ubuntu anyway :D
[05:15] <maxtor> and how to configure ddclient for start
[05:15] <mlehrer> MrKubuntuUser: you could do it by hand - print to a file and then cat /tmp/whatever.ps > /dev/lp0
[05:15] <boon> ah did u guys read that bunk on windows vs linix
[05:15] <Jimmey__> Xaero_Vincent
[05:15] <Jimmey__> What can you do in KDE, but not Gnome?
[05:15] <beruic> pashminet: What live-cd do u have and what computer are u using?
[05:15] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: it should be printed right away even though it's spooled
[05:15] <beruic> How do I get rid of unused packages?
[05:15] <wd3> Jimmey__, good ?
[05:15] <Xaero_Vincent> lots..
[05:16] <beruic> Xaero_Vincent: That's not an answer...
[05:16] <Lorvija> Hey, where can i change which programs are used for specified files? for example i'd like to use xmms for music..
[05:16] <pashminet> beruic: pc (intel x86) and i'm using a pc
[05:16] <Jimmey__> w3d, very.
[05:16] <saskia> beruic: you should've "purge"d it when removing it
[05:16] <wd3> Jimmey__,  (smile)
[05:16] <maxtor> i have ubuntu 5.04 and , install apache  is my home webserver
[05:16] <NL5> livingdaylight: you need libdvdcss2 to watch DVD's
[05:16] <beruic> saskia: ?
[05:16] <Xaero_Vincent> goto the control pane; and u'll see what I mean
[05:16] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  Hmm... I'm getting a big delay on a raw printer I have set up.  It's an Epson receipt printer getting plain text from a Java program called Innovative Millennium.  On Windows, I got a constant stream and preceipts printed very fast.  On Ubuntu (using CUPS), it frequently stops and it takes many times longer to print.
[05:17] <beruic> pashminet: What hardware?
[05:17] <KenSentMe> beruic, sudo apt-get --purge remove package
[05:17] <saskia> beruic: dpkg --purge remove thispackage
[05:17] <maxtor> but how to configure ddclient for running from start ubuntu
[05:17] <pashminet> beruic: intel celeron?
[05:17] <Der_Richter> maxtor: /var/www/
[05:17] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: I don't know what's wrong. It should work like that though
[05:17] <beruic> pashminet: graphics?
[05:17] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: um should not that is
[05:17] <beruic> saskia: I'd like to find the packages which are not in use...
[05:18] <livingdaylight> NL5: right, i thought so, it always had been the case. So, why is it not in repositories?
[05:18] <beruic> KenSentMe: I'd like to find the packages which are not in use...
[05:18] <pashminet> beruic: ati radeon i think
[05:18] <saskia> beruic: you're the only one who knows
[05:18] <_Marek_> is there a way to compile packages from source and register them in the apt-get package database?
[05:18] <apokryphos> _Marek_: yes, checkinstall.
[05:18] <Rod> Installed ndis drivers:
[05:18] <Rod>   {name of driver}  driver present, hardware present  but it doesnt show up in Networking ... What do I wrong?
[05:18] <beruic> pashminet: You have another (preferably older) vard u can try?
[05:18] <saskia> beruic: you don't use it now, but what about later?
[05:18] <apokryphos> _Marek_: configure, then make, then sudo checkinstall
[05:18] <wd3> Xaero_Vincent,  gnome is nice. i know this, i've been to kde - xfce - three times now i'm back at gnome, it just fits........  (smile)
[05:18] <quarky> mrkubuntuuser : thats because linux printing with cups is ropey as hell with anything other than an HP imo.
[05:18] <_Marek_> apokryphos, many thanks :)
[05:19] <apokryphos> _Marek_: it'll create debs, and then you can install those and they get put into the dpkg database.
[05:19] <Xaero_Vincent> Knoqueror is an example of something Gnome doesnt have.. Konqueror sucks as a browser but it rules with it's address bar
[05:19] <NL5> livingdaylight: this may help, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/04/libdvdcss2-and-w32codecs-for-ubuntu/
[05:19] <wd3> Jimmey__, right?
[05:19] <pashminet> beruic: nope, and it's a laptop so i don't know how to remove it either...
[05:19] <saskia> konquerer dies in my machine
[05:19] <toretore> i personally thinks xfce works best for me, i like it lightweigth and simple, but yet powerfull enough for me
[05:19] <mwe> _Marek_: not all drivers work even if ndiswrapper shows that. can you sudo iwlist <interfac> scan to see your ap?
[05:19] <saskia> xubuntu is light, yep
[05:19] <Jimmey__> wd3, I've done the same, although I might give XFCE a second chance some time, Gnome just does it's job silently, and politely.
[05:19] <pashminet> anyone knows anything about installing OS X on a PC?
[05:19] <Xaero_Vincent> Linus like KDE too...
[05:19] <apokryphos> saskia: dies? Crashes?
[05:19] <MrKubuntuUser> quarky:  is there any other option, then?  Is there somehow I can just directly stream my text output to the printer from within my app?
[05:19] <apokryphos> Xaero_Vincent: yeah, KDE is the way to go 8)
[05:19] <beruic> pashminet: :(
[05:19] <saskia> yes, crashed
[05:20] <apokryphos> saskia: reproducable?
[05:20] <beruic> saskia: Ok, here's the thing. I have in stalled and uninstalled a lot lately, and now I'd like to get rid of the libs that will never be used in my current setup...
[05:20] <GeorgeAScott> ok. if there isn't a scripting channel, could somebody give me a shove in the right direction for making a script that opens the terminal or command promp(linux or xp) and runs a command based on the selected text?
[05:20] <pashminet> beruic: is there a way to inactivate the card somehow?
[05:20] <wd3> uh ohh he had to bring the "man" into this.... (smile)
[05:20] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: you should probably check the log files and try to spot the cause
[05:20] <beruic> pashminet: What would that be good for?
[05:20] <quarky> goto linuxprinting.com and see. I think linux printing sucks the big one : but am always accused of trolling. It took me forever to get my HP deskjet configured - I hate to think of it ever stopping working again.
[05:21] <maxtor> how to make start ddclient from inicio of de machine?
[05:21] <saskia> beruic: you should've remembered all those dependencies if you know in the future you may not use the package
[05:21] <pashminet> beruic: i don't know really, i'm just confused
[05:21] <livingdaylight> NL5: thx, although Mercy! it looks hard
[05:21] <maxtor> how to make start ddclient from inicio of the machine?
[05:21] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  Where would I find these logs?  Also, I'm not sure what would be there since it IS printing... it just takes too long.  :D
[05:21] <beruic> quarky: I have a Deskjet 540c and it took no time to configure...
[05:21] <beruic> saskia: :S
[05:21] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: I'm not sure either, but maybe. /var/log/syslog probably
[05:22] <NL5> livingdaylight: you're welcome.... I've done it and it's not bad.
[05:22] <wd3> Jimmey__,  yeah, xfce was alot faster for me but i had config problems with certain software, so back at gnome, it's a little slower but man it just works.... (smile)
[05:22] <beruic> pashminet: The problem probably is that there's no drivers for your card on the live-cd...
[05:22] <saskia> beruic: there is one thing though, some kind of log to those
[05:22] <beruic> saskia: Where?
[05:23] <saskia> beruic: good question
[05:23] <quarky> beruic : same for the first time.Then something screwed up and the reinstallation was a nightmare : too many ways of doing things which overrode each other. I never want to go through that again.
[05:23] <saskia> beruic: i'll tell you when it rings the bell
[05:23] <beruic> quarky: I see...
[05:23] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: it is for sure somewhat broken, working like that though. My printer is printing as faste as in windows
[05:23] <maxtor> where configure ? for ddclient start from start of the machine
[05:23] <beruic> saskia: I love ya then...
[05:23] <wd3> has anybody had issues with the "shadow image" in gdesklet? it keeps saying the "sensor bin" not installed even after i install it.
[05:24] <saskia> beruic: say what
[05:24] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  What version of Ubuntu are you running?  Could it be because I'm running Dapper?  (Kubuntu Flight 6 with all updates as of Monday this week)
[05:24] <beruic> saskia: I love you when the bell rings
[05:24] <beruic> saskia: :D
[05:24] <saskia> beruic: then it will never ring :P
[05:24] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: dapper here as well. It has worked for years though
[05:25] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: with different printers
[05:25] <maxtor> please
[05:25] <beruic> saskia: You have a cruel sence of humour :'(
[05:25] <saskia> beruic: touchy
[05:25] <boon> come on be nice
[05:25] <beruic> saskia: Why not? :P
[05:26] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  hmm... I really don't understand.  It's not an issue with three network HP printers, but the little tiny delay is really brought out by that receipt printer and it's irritating the hell out of people... I had to switch in a Windows computer until I could figure this out.
[05:26] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  I'm also kind of surprised that there's no way to set up a printer without spooling the print job.
[05:26] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: yeah. I don't know why either. sorry
[05:27] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: windows does the same thing
[05:27] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: it's supposed to be processed right away if there is no queue
[05:27] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: not spooling means the job could get lost. that's why
[05:27] <boon> cause i think its nicer to be nice to everyone lol
[05:27] <beruic> saskia: I love myself now...
[05:28] <beruic> saskia: I found it...
[05:28] <saskia> beruic: how?
[05:28] <Juerd> In Windows it's possible to send a document directly to the printer, without spooling it.
[05:28] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, what is the name of this little printer?
[05:28] <beruic> saskia: In Synaptic: [Files > History]
[05:28] <saskia> oh synaptic
[05:28] <Juerd> That can make printing one or two seconds faster, but bites you whenever the computer crashes :)
[05:28] <Juerd> Or the printer crashes.
[05:29] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  I can't remember the model number, but it's an Epson thermal receipt printer... 40 characters wide.  Only takes plain text output, which is why I have the driver set to RAW
[05:29] <saskia> yeah synaptic does too, but that's not what suppose to ring the bell, something else. well then.. synaptic will do
[05:29] <boon> oh u 2 there is a way u can do a private chat
[05:29] <Juerd> MrKubuntuUser: Why would you not want to spool?
[05:29] <boon> just right click on the person then
[05:29] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: suppose two processes are trying to access the device directly approximate at the same time. the last one would just get lost becasue the first process is using the printer
[05:29] <boon> click on direct then go to allow chat
[05:29] <boon> oops offer chat
[05:29] <blindx> is there a command line ftp client?
[05:30] <saskia> ftp
[05:30] <boon> lol
[05:30] <blindx> lol.
[05:30] <blindx> thats easy
[05:30] <ompaul> !enter
[05:30] <saskia> rotfl
[05:30] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[05:30] <mwe> blindx: you might find lftp more friendly though
[05:30] <boon> lol
[05:30] <boon> !enter
[05:30] <blindx> why, what's lftp?
[05:30] <saskia> ncftp my fav
[05:30] <MrKubuntuUser> Juerd:  The receipt printer stops printing after printing a few lines, waits, prints a few more lines, etc.  I think CUPS is slowing it down spooling.
[05:30] <mwe> blindx: a nicer ftp client
[05:30] <beruic> saskia: rotfl? I'm not so much into the newer shorts...
[05:30] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  That's not
[05:30] <blindx> mwe: is it gui?
[05:31] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  That's not really an issue because Millennium is the only process that ever uses that printer
[05:31] <mwe> blindx: no
[05:31] <blindx> why is it better than ftp?
[05:31] <saskia> u said command line, now you're talking gui
[05:31] <Juerd> MrKubuntuUser: It's spooled so that it can be sent to the printer as fast as the printer and its cable can handle.
[05:31] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: well that's the reason programs don't allow not spooling
[05:32] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, more than likely it has no ram - so what is the over the counter product that is being sold?
[05:32] <JwYoung> I'm having trouble with permissions in Ubuntu.  can anyone provide assistance?
[05:32] <Juerd> MrKubuntuUser: Is it a parallel cable?
[05:32] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: as I said if it wasn't broken it should get printed right away anyway, if no one is waiting
[05:32] <saskia> JwYoung: of course you have permissions to use Ubuntu, it's free :D lol
[05:33] <KnifeMan[SUI] > JwYoung: just ask...
[05:33] <JwYoung> Ubuntu won't allow me to run 'users and Groups' and about 50% of the applications in System/Administration.
[05:33] <_Marek_> mwe, was the "driver"msg intended for me?
[05:33] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  I don't think it's lack of RAM, as the rest of KDE flies.  It's for my local library... Millennium Circulation
[05:33] <NRG88> how do in install x display manager?
[05:33] <purple^haze> JwYoung,  try sudo appname
[05:33] <blindx> mwe: how do you change the type to binary in lftp? :x is there an lftp command list? :x
[05:33] <mwe> _Marek_: what?
[05:33] <MrKubuntuUser> Juerd:  Yes it is
[05:33] <NRG88> in the repos, i think xdm is something else
[05:33] <_Marek_> apokryphos, one more question, is there a way to force -march=i686 -O3 ?
[05:33] <saskia> blindx: bin
[05:33] <blindx> it doesn't work
[05:33] <_Marek_> mwe, mwe _Marek_: not all drivers work even if ndiswrapper shows that. can you sudo iwlist <interfac> scan to see your ap?
[05:34] <saskia> binary ?
[05:34] <Juerd> MrKubuntuUser: Perhaps playing with the settings in the machine's bios helps.
[05:34] <blindx> Unknown command `bin'.
[05:34] <mwe> _Marek_: that was for you, yes
[05:34] <blindx> same thing with binary
[05:34] <livingdaylight> NL5: nice One! i just cut and pasted the line into custom on synaptics repository
[05:34] <apokryphos> _Marek_: force install of a .deb regardless of architecture?
[05:34] <JwYoung> I can do everything from the command prompt but only from there after ive su to root.
[05:34] <Juerd> MrKubuntuUser: Mode settings, like ECP/EPP, etcetera. Some combinations of hardware and software "just" don't work well.
[05:34] <NRG88> xdm is a small tool that was part of xbase-clients
[05:34] <_Marek_> apokryphos, i mean when compiling under ubuntu
[05:34] <NRG88> or it is not possible to install xdm on ubuntu?
[05:34] <_Marek_> mwe, which drivers you mean?
[05:34] <saskia> blindx: isn't it bin always?
[05:34] <saskia> or auto
[05:34] <blindx> I thought so.
[05:34] <blindx> oh
[05:34] <mwe> _Marek_: the windows driver for ndiswrapper
[05:34] <apokryphos> _Marek_: compile for another arch?
[05:34] <MrKubuntuUser> Juerd:  I don't think it's anything in the BIOS, as this same machine printed wonderfully on LPT1 with that same printer under Windows 2000
[05:34] <blindx> with 'ftp' it's ascii by default.
[05:35] <blindx> at least on windows, it is.
[05:35] <saskia> just try
[05:35] <blindx> k
[05:35] <_Marek_> apokryphos, yeah, i need a more optimized version of nautilus, since my computer is slow, but i686 nautilus runs a lot faster
[05:35] <_Marek_> apokryphos, according to my own experience
[05:35] <KnifeMan[SUI] > JwYoung: so your user is in the admin group...?
[05:35] <i3dmaster> what app can read MS project file type?
[05:35] <maxtor> how to load ddclient from ubuntu start? please
[05:35] <saskia> get something without defining bin/ascii
[05:35] <_Marek_> mwe, i don't compile drivers :)
[05:35] <tritium> i3dmaster: none other
[05:35] <saskia> maxtor: u mean dhclient ?
[05:35] <maxtor> how to load ddclient from ubuntu start? please
[05:35] <i3dmaster> tritium, really.. ok
[05:35] <JwYoung> I've put the user in root.  will that work?
[05:35] <mwe> _Marek_: weren't you trying to use ndiswrapper?
[05:35] <stjepan> can I apt-get vdrift?
[05:36] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, are your other computers network computers?
[05:36] <apokryphos> _Marek_: I'm not quite sure tbh
[05:36] <tritium> i3dmaster: yeah, unfortunately.  There is "planner", but it doesn't read MS project files.
[05:36] <_Marek_> mwe, nope, only installing nautilus
[05:36] <blindx> Hm, Making the data connection....
[05:36] <blindx> doesn't wanna go through
[05:36] <Juerd> MrKubuntuUser: Yes, but neither Windows nor Linux are entirely bug free, so there may be something that influences things.
[05:36] <mwe> _Marek_: sorry then ;) nick confusion
[05:36] <stjepan> Why there isn't vdrift deb in ubuntu repos?
[05:36] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, sorry s/computers/printers
[05:36] <_Marek_> mwe, np
[05:36] <KnifeMan[SUI] > JwYoung: adm and admin will do it
[05:36] <i3dmaster> tritium, ok bummer.. thanks man
[05:36] <maxtor> no is for mi server in ubunutu for dyndns
[05:36] <tritium> i3dmaster: I agree...
[05:36] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  yes, they are.  This machine is the only Kubuntu machine on the network.  The rest of the Millennium computers are Windows 2000
[05:37] <mbm1980> What is the best cure for Windows? Holy water or Ubuntu?
[05:37] <lestat_> both
[05:37] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  The receipt printer is on lp0
[05:37] <mbm1980> lestat_, Thanks mate
[05:37] <saskia> cure for what kind of disease?
[05:37] <lestat_> anytime
[05:37] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, and lastly what machines send info to that printer?
[05:37] <Xenguy> mbm1980: don't forget the live chicken too =)
[05:37] <mbm1980> My computer is suffering from windows
[05:38] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, via the kubuntu box
[05:38] <boon> well i have to go guys cya later
[05:38] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  Each computer has its own receipt printer on LPT1.  The receipt printer isn't shared (sorry if I misunderstood you)
[05:38] <saskia> mbm1980: then install ubuntu
[05:38] <Juerd> MrKubuntuUser: What driver does the printer use?
[05:38] <Juerd> (In Linux)
[05:38] <JwYoung> That doesn't work as well.  Ive added the user to admin and when I click on Disk or some other System/admin app nothing happens.
[05:39] <saskia> mbm1980: use the holy water for the CPU's radiator tank
[05:39] <MrKubuntuUser> Juerd:  RAW.  Millennium outputs plain text to the RAW driver.
[05:39] <tritium> JwYoung: adding the user to the admin group gives that user sudo priveleges.
[05:39] <mbm1980> Okay, I'll pur the holy water on the CPU now. *crosses fingers* Hope it works
[05:39] <KnifeMan[SUI] > JwYoung: strange...
[05:39] <Juerd> MrKubuntuUser: Have you tried outputting plain text to the printer yourself?
[05:39] <ubun2> Is there a way to disable DMA of an installation via a livecd?
[05:40] <Juerd> MrKubuntuUser: i.e. cat /etc/passwd > /dev/lp0
[05:40] <Juerd> s/i.e./e.g./
[05:40] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, no, but I seem to have the wrong end of the stick, :-)   okay each computer prints its own receipts and each printer is attached to a comptuer
[05:40] <mwe> ubun2: you can't install from the live cd
[05:40] <beruic> I'm running Gnome with Metacity as windows mannager. i can safely remove everything that has to do with Motif, right?
[05:40] <MrKubuntuUser> Juerd:  No, I have not
[05:40] <saskia> as root cat /etc/shadow > /dev/lp0 then send it to me ;)
[05:40] <Juerd> MrKubuntuUser: Please try and see if that's also slow
[05:40] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, I am tryin to get a fix on the network requirements :)
[05:40] <ubun2> Mwe but can I alter the dma settings of an installation?
[05:40] <JwYoung> KnifeMan[SUI] :  yes and when I execute user manager from the command prompt it states "GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[05:40] <JwYoung> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed."
[05:40] <mwe> ubun2: sure
[05:41] <nicklas> Hello. Trying to install ubuntu, but i get this message(translated): There were a mistake under the try to install the package initrd-tools on the target system. Anybody can help?
[05:41] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul: Yes, each computer has it's own local printer and each computer generates its own receipts
[05:41] <JwYoung> KnifeMan[SUI] : any Ideas?
[05:41] <gimmulf> Im having serios DNS problms and cant access website, im behind a router and uses dhcp, wat should i do?
[05:41] <simonpca> a+ tous!!
[05:41] <mwe> ubun2: edit /etc/hdparm.conf on the drive
[05:41] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, so here are things I would consider
[05:41] <purple^haze> gimmulf,  whats the problem ?
[05:41] <mephis1987_> http://04tlt.bizhat.com/maoi.htm
[05:41] <purple^haze> can u send pings
[05:41] <ubun2> k
[05:41] <Jimmey__> gimmulf, set the DNS address as the default gateway
[05:41] <KnifeMan[SUI] > JwYoung: hmm nope. i'm not an expert with PAM and that auth stuff.... soory
[05:41] <mwe> ubun2: or disable it complete with the boot option dma=off IIRC
[05:42] <saskia> gimmulf: your dhcp server should give DNS settings as well
[05:42] <Atlas95> hello
[05:42] <saskia> gimmulf: take a look at your /etc/resolv.conf
[05:42] <Atlas95> someone have a mx1000 mouse here?
[05:42] <ubun2> can I do that bia editing in grub?
[05:42] <mwe> ubun2: is it because you can't boot with dma?
[05:42] <livingdaylight> can someone tell me how to install realplayer?
[05:42] <ubun2> s/bia/via/
[05:42] <livingdaylight> what is a .bin file??
[05:42] <gimmulf> saskia:  it says: nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:42] <ubun2> mwe read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=144889. That's basically me problem.
[05:42] <saskia> livingdaylight: like *.exe in winblows
[05:42] <mwe> ubun2: you could edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add dma=off
[05:43] <mwe> ubun2: let me check that
[05:43] <JwYoung> KnifeMan[SUI] : well thanks for the suggestions.
[05:43] <gimmulf> saskia:  but my router ip is <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:43] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, so when it goes to print a reciept the receipt is generated by which tool?
[05:43] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  were you saying something?
[05:43] <saskia> gimmulf: say.. type:  host -tA www.yahoo.com
[05:43] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, no mostly I think :)
[05:43] <saskia> what's the output
[05:43] <gimmulf> saskia:  nothing happens
[05:43] <nicklas> Hello. Trying to install ubuntu, but i get this message(translated): "There were a mistake under the try to install the package initrd-tools on the target system. See /target/var/log/bootstrap.log" ... ?
[05:43] <livingdaylight> saskia: executable, ok, so where do i save it to this realplayer and how do i execcute it??
[05:43] <gimmulf> saskia:  ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[05:43] <KnifeMan[SUI] > JwYoung: I would try to reinstall libpam. maybe that helps.. and check if all dependencies for Gnome are met...
[05:43] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  sorry, missed your last message.  :D  The receipt is generated by Millennium Circulation, a Java program
[05:43] <saskia> can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[05:44] <gimmulf> saskia:  if i typ sudo dhclient it works after some seconds but i dont want to do that every 15 minutes
[05:44] <ompaul> okay so it generates and wants to talk to the printer?
[05:44] <ompaul> suggestion
[05:44] <mwe> ubun2: I don't know if disabling dma would help, but to do it edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add dma=off to the kernel line
[05:44] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  I get the same dealy when I try to print a CUPS test page (it prints out PostScript commands and I get the same delay)
[05:44] <livingdaylight> saskia: can i save it to the desktop? aguess it doesn't matter as long as i know where it is, right?
[05:44] <saskia> livingdaylight: i don't get it, what are you executing?
[05:44] <mwe> ubun2: it will decrease performance considerably though
[05:44] <livingdaylight> saskia: but...heheh...then what?
[05:45] <livingdaylight> saskia: realplayer 10
[05:45] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  It generates and passes it off to the printer object that I set up, Receipt, which is a RAW printer on lp0
[05:45] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, just put the output from the program to a file and try lp foo
[05:45] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  goes through CUPS
[05:45] <ubun2> Mwe, should I just recover aand replace the hardrive? It's dying?
[05:45] <saskia> livingdaylight: usually it asks where to put, or take a look at the dir where you're executing it
[05:45] <ompaul> that will too but it should be faster
[05:46] <livingdaylight> saskia: well i can put it where i like, but how do i install / execute the thing
[05:46] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  Eh... I can't really do anything that requires extra steps.  It'll confuse library staff and make book checkout take longer.
[05:46] <saskia> livingdaylight: take a look inside that dir..
[05:46] <saskia> there should be a file with an "x" permission
[05:46] <mwe> ubun2: I don't know. it sure looks bad
[05:46] <saskia> usually inside a 'bin' directory
[05:46] <Turski> hi
[05:47] <Turski> i have problem with ut2004
[05:47] <initard> is there anything that can be done about hotplugs system hanging freezing at boot time?
[05:47] <Juerd> MrKubuntuUser: Any luck trying printing manually?
[05:47] <mwe> Turski: just practice. you'll get better
[05:47] <Turski> WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
[05:47] <Turski> Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
[05:47] <TokenBad> is the new version of ubuntu released?
[05:47] <Turski> mwe, not about it ;)
[05:47] <rio> is someone from sweden here, no?
[05:47] <tritium> TokenBad: not until June
[05:47] <rio> i have big swedish question
[05:48] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, I have a dot matrix :-) want that :)
[05:48] <livingdaylight> saskia: ?? RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
[05:48] <livingdaylight>  is not a directory? :s  you got an idea how to execture this mf-er    : )
[05:48] <rio> dot matrix?
[05:48] <Turski> can someone help with that?
[05:48] <TokenBad> oh ok..june..thought I might be to early
[05:48] <TokenBad> heheh
[05:48] <rio> is someone from sweden here, no?
[05:48] <MrKubuntuUser> Juerd:  I'm not going to be able to try that right now, as the printer is being used by a Windows machine right now...
[05:48] <appsmaster> ubuntu is defying itself
[05:48] <saskia> TokenBad: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper
[05:48] <Juerd> MrKubuntuUser: I see.
[05:48] <MrKubuntuUser> Juerd:  I'll have to try it later
[05:48] <MrKubuntuUser> Juerd:  The library got pissed off at Kubuntu and swapped it out until I could fix it.
[05:48] <Turski> when i try to laundh ut2004, i get this: WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
[05:48] <appsmaster> It is supposed to release the dapper in april, 6 month cycle

[05:48] <Juerd> Bye
[05:49] <_jason> !se
[05:49] <ubotu> Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se
[05:49] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, does it work on the HP printers?
[05:49] <MrKubuntuUser> Juerd:  Thanks!
[05:49] <appsmaster> ompaul HPprinters, do u want to set one up??
[05:49] <gimmulf> How do i see my mac adress?
[05:49] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  It works, but I think it takes longer for it to actually start printing than it does from Windows
[05:49] <tritium> gimmulf: ifconfig
[05:49] <KnifeMan[SUI] > gimmulf: ifconfig
[05:49] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul: only slightly, though
[05:49] <tritium> gimmulf: it's the HWaddr field
[05:49] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  not as bad as with the receipt printer
[05:50] <appsmaster> ompaul, u can set it up easily
[05:50] <ubun2> mwe, Can I do that edit from grub or must I use a livecd?
[05:50] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, are these printers able to live on the network
[05:50] <nicklas> Hello. Trying to install ubuntu, but i get this message(translated): "There were a mistake under the try to install the package initrd-tools on the target system. See /target/var/log/bootstrap.log" And it can't continue with the installation. Damn, any help?
[05:50] <ompaul> appsmaster, ohh I know :)
[05:50] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, as on ethernet?
[05:50] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  Yes, the HP printers live on the network.  The Epson cannot.
[05:50] <ESPOiG> havin 2ms is better than 8ms on a LCD screen right?
[05:50] <appsmaster> niklas: the cd integrity should be done before installing
[05:50] <mwe> ubun2: you can edit from the menu. highlight the entry and press e
[05:51] <ubun2> k
[05:51] <tritium> ms=milliseconds.  Is that what you mean, ESPOiG?
[05:51] <mwe> ubun2: the highlight the kernel line and press e again
[05:51] <mwe> ubun2: then b to boot it
[05:51] <ESPOiG> yeh
[05:51] <ESPOiG> i think so
[05:51] <appsmaster> nicklas, r u listening??
[05:51] <tritium> ESPOiG: what is that a measurement of, then?
[05:51] <mwe> ubun2: it's only temporarely changed though
[05:51] <Turski> someone help me: Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
[05:51] <Turski> what to do
[05:52] <gimmulf> SHould my nameserver be the ip of my router?
[05:52] <JwYoung> #kubuntu
[05:52] <mwe> Turski: i direct rendering even working?
[05:52] <ESPOiG> it just says like 19" 2ms and 19" 8ms i wanna buy one see and they both have diff ms ratings and i dunno wat ms ratings are good
[05:52] <ubun2> yes, well if I can get things running a permanent change is possible.
[05:52] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  Also with Flight 6 (on a different machine, using Ubuntu), it took about 45 seconds for CUPS to output to an Epson Stylus COLOR 600 that lived on the network using LPR
[05:52] <Turski> i have driveres installed and they worked yesterday
[05:52] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  could it be a Dapper issue?
[05:52] <KnifeMan[SUI] > gimmulf: yes
[05:52] <AndyJ> gimmulf: maybe.  Try and see if it works.
[05:52] <Turski> i don't know what i did
[05:52] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, okay so the only thing I would say is this, if the file will print fast when you do >>lp plain_text.foo<<  if the application can be convinced to print from a file have a daemon do "lp" when the file is generated
[05:52] <appsmaster> ompaul,  dont tell me u did a dist-upgrade so soon
[05:53] <nicklas> apsmaster: im listening, sry for the delay... So u think the problem is the cd?
[05:53] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, it might be - try a breezy live CD for a test page
[05:53] <Turski> Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual, i have drivers installed and it worked perfectly yesterday
[05:54] <appsmaster> nicklas, yes you must do a cd integrity check first
[05:54] <Luke> it seems that my update manager has stopped auto updating. anyone know how to turn it back on?
[05:54] <MrKubuntuUser> OK, I think I'll try the LiveCD and using the command you suggested under Dapper
[05:54] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, there has been a lot of work on cups in the last 24 hours
[05:54] <MrKubuntuUser> how does lp know where to output to?
[05:54] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, do live with 5.10
[05:54] <martyn_> what is the easets way that i can have read acsess to NTFS partions
[05:54] <nicklas> appsmaster: allright, i try that and comes back if it's not the problem.. Thanks a lot!
[05:55] <ESPOiG> tritium: it just says like 19" 2ms and 19" 8ms i wanna buy one see and they both have diff ms ratings and i dunno wat ms ratings are good
[05:55] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, it works with cups but a plain text file is an easy job
[05:55] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  This is with CUPS from Monday.  Could it possibly be fixed with apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:55] <nicklas> appsmaster: Hmm, and how do I do a cd integrity check?
[05:55] <kevinz> hi there, i just made Xgl working (i mean, it seems work as i see transparency and elastic window). But cube does not show up when i try "ctrl+alt+arrow key". I called compiz by "compiz --replace gconf decoration wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place switcher"
[05:56] <nicklas> appsmaster: never mind, found it
[05:56] <appsmaster> nicklas, i am sure the disk is bad
[05:56] <martyn_> is there an easy way to mount NTFS partions
[05:56] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  Also, with "lp plain-text.foo", how does it know which CUPS printer to use?
[05:56] <ompaul> wait until tomorrow (I saw something I did not like earlier) but running a development o/s in a production environment is asking for big trouble
[05:56] <initard> whats the x-window-system  package called?
[05:56] <nirmal> now a days you can read and write to a  ntfs partition with kanotix
[05:56] <nicklas> appsmaster: k, i hope so... Would be an easy thing to fix :)
[05:57] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, the default one you can do lpstat to work it out
[05:57] <martyn_> ubuntu! ntfs
[05:57] <nirmal> martyn
[05:57] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, the default one you can do lpq
[05:57] <Luke> it seems that my update manager has stopped auto updating. anyone know how to turn it back on?
[05:57] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  Yes, I suppose it was an incredibly stupid thing to do... I just wanted the improvements in Dapper too much... :-P
[05:57] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, sorry my phone is ringing gtg
[05:57] <martyn_> nirmal: whats  kanotix
[05:57] <MrKubuntuUser> ompaul:  Thanks for your help!
[05:57] <ompaul> MrKubuntuUser, we try
[05:57] <Luke> MrKubuntuUser: with lp, it uses the printer that is default in your /etc/printers.conf
[05:57] <nirmal> it is new linux distro
[05:58] <martyn_> nirmal: lol u mean knoblinux
[05:58] <nirmal> even 64bit version is also available
[05:58] <nirmal> no no its kanotix based on debian
[05:58] <ESPOiG> how do i manually edit my dns servers without using menus etc, like if i couldnt get gnome to run, is there a config file for editin them somewhere
[05:58] <appsmaster> martyn_  i think it is mount -t ntfs /dev/hd*** /mnt
[05:58] <nirmal> very fast
[05:58] <ompaul> martyn_ see #kanotix, it is interesting
[05:58] <nirmal> i am on that machine only
[05:58] <initard> ping ubuntu.com
[05:59] <nirmal> yea
[05:59] <initard> they're server down?
[05:59] <mwe> ESPOiG: /etc/network/interfaces, dns-servers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy under your interface
[05:59] <mwe> ESPOiG: dns-nameservers even

[06:06] <initard> so no apt-gets until they come back up or what?
[06:06] <Luke> initard: what do you want me to check about my repos?

[06:09] <initard> apokryphos, ok, thanks
[06:09] <GranMaestro> Hi there, could anybody here tell me if it is necessary to manually enter a smbpasswd to enable samba sharing or it can be done with the GUI?
[06:09] <FliesLikeALap> !tell gabourya1  about nvidia
[06:09] <martyn_> can any 1 help me at all i am trying to mount 2 NTFS drives. but it saysthat there are mounted i can see them on my desktop but when i try to acsess them it say "i dont jave the correct permissions"
[06:10] <mwe> gabourya1: you should just follow the !nvidia wiki
[06:10] <mwe> !tell gabourya1 about nvidia
[06:10] <Seveas> !tell martyn_ about ntfs
[06:10] <FliesLikeALap> martyn_  by default NTFS mounted partitions are only visible to root, you must mount it with the user option
[06:10] <nirmal> martyn did you find the link?
[06:10] <nirmal> http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/
[06:10] <nirmal> more info for ntfs read write
[06:11] <mwe> Fitzsimmons: doesn't he need to set umask?
[06:11] <mwe> !captive
[06:11] <ubotu> [captive]  a project to use windows NTFS drivers under linux. It does not work properly with Ubuntu.
[06:11] <nirmal> oh ok
[06:11] <initard> can anyone makes sense of this for me?  -->  E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[06:11] <martyn_> Seveans: thx mate thats exactly what i have been looing for all day cheers
[06:11] <apokryphos> initard: synaptic/apt/dpkg is in use
[06:12] <initard> ahh, ok, thanks
[06:12] <LostFrog> Yay.. Ubuntu has all sorts of suprises for me this morning.
[06:12] <beruic> Does Motif equate Metacity or GTK or both???
[06:12] <LostFrog> kernel-source-2.6.12 isn't in the pool.
[06:12] <mwe> beruic: no
[06:12] <apokryphos> Seveas: back up
[06:13] <Seveas> seen it
[06:13] <conii> HOlaaaa xD
[06:13] <tomasz> Hi, strange thing: Yesterday I created a fig. with Xfig, today it cannot find any of the used fonts => I have reinstalled all of the X fonts ->still the same. Any hints ?
[06:13] <beruic> mwe: Then why do I have motif-clients installed? the only thing I can find that depends on some of the motif-stuff is Opear...
[06:14] <theinternet> Have the forums gone down?
[06:14] <apokryphos> theinternet: #ubuntuforums
[06:14] <apokryphos> appears so
[06:15] <initard> E: Package x-window-system has no installation candidate  <--is that the correct package name?
[06:15] <Seveas> initard, no
[06:15] <apokryphos> initard: what are you trying to do?
[06:15] <mwe> beruic: just remove it if you don't need it
[06:15] <initard> install x on another partition
[06:15] <mwe> beruic: it is not gtk though
[06:15] <_jeff_> hey guys
[06:16] <_jeff_> does xmms have shortcut keys?
[06:16] <Emperor> hi
[06:16] <twopeak> is there a way to edit GRUB? I installed windows on an extra harddisk, and I want to have the double boot possibilities
[06:16] <initard> what would the right package name be?
[06:16] <SilverMoonDragon> hi
[06:16] <livingdaylight> guys, how does one delete from /usr/bin for example?
[06:16] <beruic> mwe: I don't know if I need it. Isn't there an app that can determine which things I don's need?
[06:16] <Emperor> twopeak, grub-update would do it autmaticly
[06:16] <apokryphos> initard: what/why?
[06:16] <livingdaylight> what is the command for remove or delete?
[06:16] <LostFrog> apt-get remove
[06:16] <mwe> beruic: deborphan
[06:16] <_jason> ubotu: tell livingdaylight about cli
[06:16] <TheFuzzball> does anyone know why Kubuntu.org is down?
[06:16] <Emperor> Ubuntuforums down thou ? i was looking for the kernel howto
[06:17] <mwe> beruic: if you're trying to remove it and something needs it it wont let you though
[06:17] <beruic> mwe: command or gui?
[06:17] <argent> livingdaylight: `rm <filename>' or `rm -r <dirname>'
[06:17] <ompaul> !kernel
[06:17] <initard> apokryphos cuz all i have on the other partition is the server installation
[06:17] <mwe> beruic: cli
[06:17] <beruic> mwe: cli?
[06:17] <_jeff_> livingdaylight: you gotta do it in root, if you want to delete it using nautilus, type 'sudo nautilus /usr/bin/' in terminal
[06:17] <livingdaylight> LostFrog: there is a folder in /usr/bin i need to delete/remove so not apt-get
[06:17] <mwe> beruic: yeah command line interface
[06:17] <twopeak> Emperor grub-update: "command not found" I can enter grub though...
[06:17] <mwe> beruic: just intall it and type deborphan in a terminal
[06:17] <beruic> mwe: ah...
[06:17] <argent> how do i create a deb package for ubuntu? are there any good docs on doing so?
[06:17] <beruic> mwe: I'll give it a try then...
[06:18] <ompaul> Emperor, you can get such a beast on wiki.ubuntu.com  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware might be a good starting place
[06:18] <apokryphos> argent: there is plenty of documentation on it :)
[06:18] <initard> apokryphos, why, why?  i'm concerned about your concern.
[06:18] <apokryphos> initard: why would you have X on another partition? And why wouldn't you just symlink things...
[06:18] <apokryphos> argent: I'll get you a page with good links, one sec
[06:18] <Luke> it seems that my update manager has stopped auto updating. anyone know how to turn it back on?
[06:18] <argent> apokryphos: thanks
[06:19] <ompaul> Luke, try >>sudo apt-get update&& sudo apt-get upgrade << and see how it goes
[06:19] <livingdaylight> argent: i wanted to remove  realplayer from /usr/bin i think 'rm' worked thx
[06:19] <apokryphos> ubotu: packaging is at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/MOTU/Packages/Packaging/Kubuntu
[06:19] <ubotu> ...but packaging is already something else...
[06:19] <apokryphos> !packaging
[06:19] <Emperor> ompaul, thanks, forgot about the wiki
[06:19] <ubotu> [packaging]  at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPackagingGuide/Resources
[06:19] <apokryphos> argent: there
[06:19] <argent> livingdaylight: you should have used apt-get removed
[06:19] <argent> livingdaylight: you should have used apt-get remove
[06:19] <initard> apokryphos, cuz i decided to upgrade to dapper on the other part and if it fixes my soundcard/hotplug issues then eventually i'll scrap the breezy partition...why??????
[06:19] <Emperor> ompaul, time to compile some new kernel, and alsu update my nvidia drivers
[06:20] <argent> apokryphos: thanks
[06:20] <Zarephath> I forgot on my Mac and booted to the OS X install disk..now it has wiped my yaboot out and I can't boot back into Ubuntu PPC...what is the easiest way to just reinstall the bootloader after booting from cd?
[06:20] <apokryphos> initard: you have totally lost me. Why are you moving packages between them?
[06:20] <sfar> is it possible to get a better resolution on the "usplash" than 640x480 ?
[06:20] <argent> Zarephath: which bootloader?
[06:20] <mwe> sfar: I don't think so
[06:20] <argent> Zarephath: lilo or grub
[06:21] <Pordos> what's a gui ftp client that should be on my system by default?
[06:21] <Zarephath> argent: This is macintosh...
[06:21] <mwe> sfar: with fbsplash you can though. but it requires a custom kernel and a patch and some work
[06:21] <Pordos> i need to upload something to a friend's server.
[06:21] <argent> Zarephath: oh, sorry
[06:21] <argent> Pordos: i think gftp should be there
[06:21] <theinternet> Is the multiverse repository down too?
[06:22] <Cal> Hey. My breezy has problems starting, it worked fine some days ago and now it justs stops at "loading hotplug subsystem" :-/ What can be wrong?
[06:22] <mwe> theinternet: not one minute ago *.ubuntu.com was up as well
[06:22] <theinternet> Wierd. I can't seem to connect to it.
[06:23] <mwe> Cal: can you boot the old kernel, if a kernel update caused it?
[06:23] <mds\> is there a way to chmod a symlink to a dir?  I'm being told that the operation is not permitted
[06:23] <Cal> Nope, havent done any update
[06:23] <Pordos> argent it's not, but i apt-getted it.  thanks.
[06:23] <initard> apokryphos, what the hell? are you just toying with me?  I'm putting X on a partition that doesnt have x, THEN i'm going to update that partition to DAPPER DUCK and if that fixes my soundcard/hotplug issues i will use that as my primary desktop and scrap this partition... is there an issue with installing X?  or are you just chronicaly curious about my doings?
[06:23] <Cal> I could try recovery mode
[06:23] <mwe> mds\: perms of symlinks have no effect
[06:23] <_jason> mds\: no, you can't chmod symlinks
[06:23] <mwe> mds\: only the perms of the actual file
[06:23] <sfar> mwe, i heard about something like "splashy"
[06:24] <apokryphos> initard: dapper drake. Why aren't you *in* that other partition, is what I'm saying.
[06:24] <Pordos> wow, i'm not able to connect to most apt-get servers. (
[06:24] <Pordos> :(
[06:24] <Pordos>   Could not connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (<IP_ADDRESS>). - connect (111 Connection refused)
[06:24] <apokryphos> initard: I'm curious because it sounds to me like you're doing it in a pretty messy way.
[06:24] <mwe> sfar: I heard about it too. I haven't tried it. isn't that what usplash uses?
[06:24] <mds\> does that mean a regular user could remove a symlink?
[06:24] <PDani_> hi
[06:24] <mwe> mds\: no
[06:24] <Luke> Pordos: me too
[06:24] <PDani_> how can i set in xine-ui, that which alsa-device should be used?
[06:24] <Seveas> Pordos, the servers had a hiccup, someone is burping them
[06:24] <LostFrog> mds\: If he had permissions to.
[06:24] <sfar> mwe: i dont know :)
[06:24] <mwe> mds\: ownership matters
[06:24] <Dandre> hello all,
[06:25] <Cainus> hey... I installed gcc, but I still don't have some files that are supposedly common files (limits.h, syslimits.h)... anyone know what else I need to install?
[06:25] <mds\> ahhhhh
[06:25] <_jason> Cainus: build-essential
[06:25] <apokryphos> Cainus: what are you trying to compile?
[06:25] <Seveas> mds\, removing a file is not a matter of permissions on that file, but of permissions on the dir the file is in
[06:25] <Pordos> Seveas weird coincidence.  right now my friend's ftp server is being weird too.
[06:25] <mds\> Thanks..   the ownership is where I was confused..
[06:25] <Seveas> mds\, ownership schmownership
[06:25] <Cainus> _jason: say what? :)
[06:25] <Pordos> thanks for the info Seveas.  I thought it was just me...like karma or something.
[06:26] <Pordos> Seveas japanese?
[06:26] <Seveas> !tell Cainus about compiling
[06:26] <_jason> Cainus: the build-essential package should give you all of those things
[06:26] <LostFrog> Pordos: I wish.
[06:26] <Dandre> a very simple question maybe in faqs but I haven't seen. Does ubuntu  uses the full power of intel core duo?
[06:26] <Pordos> LostFrog thanks.
[06:26] <Cainus> apokryphos: some python stuff that uses a few C modules
[06:26] <apokryphos> Cainus: you won't want to compile something that's already in the repositories, and if there's just an older version you'll want to use build-dep
[06:26] <Seveas> Dandre, if you install the appropriate kernel package: yes
[06:26] <quarky> you need to install the man pages though
[06:26] <Cainus> apokryphos: no this is pretty unique stuff... it's not in repositories
[06:26] <apokryphos> Cainus: ok. Install the build-essential package from synaptic
[06:27] <Luke>  <- what is this?
[06:27] <twopeak> using update-grub doesn't find my windows (though the drive is mounted) Any ideas how to make GRUB recognize my second harddrive with Windows?
[06:27] <Seveas> apokryphos, build-dep doesn't drag in build-essential
[06:27] <Dandre> quarky: is it in the install cd?
[06:27] <Luke> Seveas: is that some asian character that you use as a smily?
[06:27] <mwe> Luke: funny symbol looking like a smiley
[06:27] <quarky> dont know. its accessible via synaptic though.
[06:27] <apokryphos> Seveas: by definition it should install all the things required for building the package
[06:27] <Seveas> apokryphos, no
[06:27] <apokryphos> then again, I've never tested the command without having b-e installed
[06:27] <ltibor65> Hi Guys! Help me! Where can I find the newest developement iso file of Dapper Drake ?
[06:27] <Dandre> ok
[06:27] <quarky> you dont need man pages to install : but they are a help to compile & write sdw :-;
[06:28] <apokryphos> ltibor65: you'll want to get the latest flight (beta) which is available from the website
[06:28] <tonyyarusso> ltibor65: The "daily build" section of cdimage.ubuntu.com
[06:28] <Seveas> apokryphos, package maintainers can count on build-essential being installed when writing their build-dependencies
[06:28] <apokryphos> problem is with that that it's not always guaranteed to even boot and/or run
[06:28] <tonyyarusso> ltibor65: For absolute newest, that is.  Flight 6 might be the wiser choice.
[06:28] <rabbit1> When is Hoary coming out??
[06:28] <apokryphos> hoary came out ages ago
[06:28] <apokryphos> breezy is the latest stable
[06:28] <rabbit1> official?

[06:31] <rabbit1> thanks
[06:31] <lou_> Yeah, I just noticed they're back up.  I just finally managed to get here (to see what was going on) when the server came back online.
[06:32] <Cal> It stalls at the "starting hotplug subsystem" even if I try to boot a older kernel. :(
[06:32] <bliss1__> hi

[06:33] <bliss1__> nickrud: accounting still/ heres my question just been through a process of instaling Xen and the final comand before reboot is update-rc.d xend defults 20 21  and update-rc.d xendomains defaults  21 20  but in each case  file does not exist does mean I must create these files in ietc/init.d ?

[06:44] <ratschnowski> but i do not have this lpr-cups command
[06:44] <ratschnowski> gimp-print is installed, if using the normal command as default in gimp, no image is printed, just random letters
[06:46] <radar1976> hmmm
[06:46] <nickrud> ratschnowski, the command is lpr (no -cups) , it's in the cupsys-bsd package (which should be installed)
[06:46] <radar1976> how do you get imap functions in php
[06:47] <ratschnowski> nickrud: this package is installed, but lpr-cups does not exist as command
[06:47] <boldii> hi
[06:47] <nickrud> ratschnowski, it's lpr
[06:48] <Emperor> radar1976, http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ref.imap.php
[06:48] <ratschnowski> i thought that, but if i use lpr -cups -P there is no difference
[06:48] <boldii> I have the following problem: I want to encrypt my wifi using wpa and I read everywhere something about /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant but I can't find this file anywhere. Where can I get it from?
[06:48] <|lostbyte|> why does'nt ubuntu have a resolve.conf file ?
[06:48] <nickrud> ratschnowski, lpr -P<destination>
[06:48] <mjau> hi, i'm having troubles getting my broadcom 43xx card working, has anyone succeeded in installing it and connecting using WPA-PSK?
[06:48] <LostFrog> |lostbyte|: It should.
[06:48] <bliss1__> nickrud: did you see my post
[06:49] <MenZa> your wha'?
[06:49] <boldii> |lostbyte|: it is called /etc/resolv.conf
[06:49] <LostFrog> lol.. no 'e'.
[06:49] <pad> Does anyone want to answer Java questions,ppc? I have it but can't install. Have chat scheduled in 12 minutes, need Java for chat applet.
[06:49] <nickrud> bliss1__, I do now, and yes, you need to create those files in init.d for the update-rc.d to work
[06:49] <|lostbyte|> lolz.. LostFrog boldii: i dont, i'll create it.
[06:50] <dennis_> could someone give me an address for a downloadable firewall or virusscan?
[06:50] <ratschnowski> nickrud: no change
[06:50] <LostFrog> dennis: apt-get install shorewall ?
[06:50] <nickrud> ratschnowski, it's been a while since I printed directly from gimp, a sec.
[06:51] <dennis_> LostFrog: yes please
[06:51] <bliss1__> nickrud: just touch and the name of the files ie xend and xenddomains in etc/init.d thats it
[06:51] <ubuntu> a
[06:52] <nickrud> bliss1__, no those files will need content, at least start & stop sections. I have no idea what the content should be exactly
[06:52] <bliss1__> nickrud: thanks
[06:52] <ubuntu> << runing first time live dvd ubuntu
[06:56] <nickrud> ratschnowski, I just used lp -s -d<destination> and got good printing. the <destination> is a printer name I defined using system-admin-printing
[06:57] <ratschnowski> i know, it works fine when printing testpages, but when using gimp its a mess
[06:57] <Stormx2> wow
[06:57] <Stormx2> has the #ubuntu channel ever been this quiet?
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> Stormx2: I doubt it...
[06:58] <me2win> Stormx2: a few times before
[06:58] <me2win> VERY few times
[06:59] <tonyyarusso> ubotu: Do a trick or something to entertain us, please?  ;)
[06:59] <ubotu> tonyyarusso: Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:59] <thor> Anyone know how I can fix this error: "could not find module snd_hda_intel" ?
[06:59] <tonyyarusso> Aw, you're not fun today ubotu.
[06:59] <Stormx2> !fun
[06:59] <ubotu> Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Stormx2
[06:59] <Stormx2> we should make ubotu tell jokes
[06:59] <Stormx2> thor: Nope sorry. When are you getting the error?
[06:59] <shredder_> heard of the new divorce barbi?
[06:59] <nickrud> ratschnowski, you used that line in the setup printer dialog accessible from the print dialog?
[06:59] <tonyyarusso> Stormx2: They'd only enable it in offtopic anyway, and it would be more appropriate for Ubugtu.
[07:00] <shredder_> She comes with all kens stuf
[07:00] <tonyyarusso> shredder_: Nice.
[07:00] <Stormx2> what IS ubugtu? whats his point?
[07:00] <radar1976> Emperor:  I read that, but my question is, I have PPC and I'm not sure how to check / find the imap module for my platform
[07:00] <tonyyarusso> Stormx2: Well, the point is as a bugtracker, but it does random stuff too.
[07:00] <radar1976> I can't find it in apt-get repositories
[07:00] <Stormx2> lol sweet
[07:00] <Emperor> radar1976, should work on all platforms i guess
[07:00] <thor> Stormx2: after the Realtek drivers screwed up my soundsystem. I'm trying to load the snd modules, but they seem to be wiped from my system by the Realtek install scrips. I'm running Dapper with kernel 2.6.15-20
[07:00] <tonyyarusso> Stormx2: Try this: '/msg Ubugtu Tell me about bug 1'
[07:00] <shredder_> There having a real problem solving murders in west virginia
[07:01] <Stormx2> Oh the "microsoft own the world" bug?
[07:01] <tonyyarusso> shredder_: All the DNA is the same?
[07:01] <shredder_>  Theres no dental records, And all the DNA is the same
[07:01] <tonyyarusso> Stormx2: Yeah.
[07:01] <radar1976> I don't really want to recompile my php engine, just looking for the module itself
[07:01] <shredder_> Ye3ah
[07:01] <joodaas> I'm rather behind thetimes as far as X delveopment goes. Is EXA now a part of xorg and what kind of effects does it accelerate? Is it just transparency type stuff and alpha blending?
[07:01] <Stormx2> shredder_: hahaha
[07:01] <TABASCO> can anyone help me with WLAN at Ubuntu?
[07:01] <tonyyarusso> See, all it takes is a little offtopic talk and people start asking real questions again.
[07:02] <thor> TABASCO: Have you tried the forums? Every other post there is about WLAN.
[07:02] <r0bby_> ;window 9
[07:02] <tonyyarusso> TABASCO: You'll probably get a better chance at help if you give more detail.
[07:03] <TABASCO> yes, I#ve tried
[07:03] <TABASCO> but with the Intel Celeron it doesnt work
[07:04] <harrison> what is the easiest way to remote desktop between to linux machines?
[07:04] <radar1976> harrison: VNC
[07:05] <harrison> i have a rheles4 machine and a ubuntu machine
[07:05] <harrison> that is what i thought
[07:05] <harrison> i have enabled remote desktop sharing on both machines, but when i use tsclient, i can't connect
[07:05] <radar1976> you can get VNC to wrap over the console of the target machine
[07:05] <harrison> how do i do that with tsclient?
[07:06] <radar1976> did you put the port number after the host, do a nmap on the server to find out what port is being used
[07:06] <radar1976> or check the config
[07:06] <LostFrog> How can you enable remote desktop sharing on linux?
[07:06] <radar1976> default installs of VNC on linux start at 5901
[07:06] <harrison> i did it through the system preferences tab
[07:07] <radar1976> ubuntu uses 5900
[07:07] <harrison> ok
[07:07] <radar1976> LostFrog: installed VNC
[07:07] <LostFrog> harrison: that is VNC.
[07:07] <mephis1987_> hello , can NFS used with windows , or only samba can ?
[07:07] <radar1976> there is a third party NFS utility for windows...
[07:07] <LostFrog> mephis1987_: If you can find/buy a NFS client for it.
[07:07] <Patrick_> hi, is there a ubuntu livecd available with reiser4 capabilities ?
[07:08] <radar1976> how every LostFrog is correct, no free utils
[07:08] <radar1976> use Samba
[07:08] <shredder_> Your problem is kind of simple, The isoflouric wave transponder must be stabilized using a 0.86 parameter ionic template, No more than that should allow the himneostatic base to adjust the bi polar flux to the desired frequency. If that does not work, Smash your PC.
[07:09] <harrison> where are the configs for vnc on the machine i am trying to connect to?
[07:09] <radar1976> so anyone got the php-imap module for apache on ppc
[07:09] <radar1976> me can't find i
[07:09] <harrison> i need to double check the port

[07:10] <kangpeh> Hi, I have a minor problem.  When I restarted my system after an update, the X.org display became "less than" the size of my LCD on my laptop.  I.e., there is blank space on the side.
[07:11] <kangpeh> The system is running fine, it's just the display is not using the "area" to the right.
[07:11] <radar1976> kangpeh rerun the xconfig
[07:11] <kangpeh> radar1976: :|
[07:11] <radar1976> or check the X86Config file
[07:11] <kangpeh> Nothing was changed on those lines...
[07:12] <radar1976> it may have changed the monitor type

[07:14] <tonyyarusso> How much of my system resources would I be sacrificing on my laptop if I wanted to run an Apache web server with low traffic just for kicks?
[07:14] <void^> rule #1 applies to anyone who is not an equal or higher level geek
[07:14] <shredder_> Yeah thats it
[07:14] <ryness> can anyone plz recommend a dreamweaver-like webdev prog in apt?

[07:15] <tonyyarusso> ryness: Nvu.
[07:15] <arrick> tonyyarusso, how are you todya
[07:15] <arrick> today even
[07:15] <tonyyarusso> arrick: Not bad.  Just had my first exam.  Went okay.
[07:16] <arrick> I just had my first on last night, got a 98% on it
[07:16] <tonyyarusso> Nice.
[07:16] <ryness> tonyyarusso, thank you... i'll checkout nvu... are there any other possible programs?
[07:16] <arrick> my last one is tonight
[07:17] <tonyyarusso> ryness: Yeah, offhand I'm thinking screem and something, but I'm not sure what.  If you don't need the GUI goodness and just want a powerful editor, even Dapper's gedit is getting up there.
[07:17] <ryness> i don't *need* the gui-goodness i just want to compare w/ dreamweaver
[07:17] <arrick> tonyyarusso, if i want to move multiple files to one directory, what would be the command in terminal to do so?
[07:18] <ryness> since a number of my webdevs use it
[07:18] <radar1976> arrick: mv -rf <files>
[07:18] <tonyyarusso> arrick: mv file1 file2 file3 /dest/dir/
[07:18] <arrick> ok thanks

[07:23] <phaidros_> hi.
[07:23] <shredder_> anyone here overclock with ubuntu?
[07:23] <twopeak> tonyyarusso I tried the "update-grub" and then using install disk with rescue mode as I found in the wiki, but nothing helped.
[07:24] <phaidros_> since a kernel update my bootsplash is gone and all terminals are black. I completely removed an older kernel. what could be missing?
[07:24] <tonyyarusso> twopeak: Dang.  Is it a weird setup somehow?  (slave drives or the like?)
[07:24] <phaidros_> shredder_, no overclocking but undervolting ;)

[07:26] <initard> whats the smartest way to install xwindow?
[07:26] <tonyyarusso> twopeak: That might do it, not sure.  Well, you can always try; if you understand what you're doing at all the worst you'll do is make a grub entry for Windows that doesn't boot, which is where you're at now anyway.
[07:27] <phaidros_> bootsplash gone and all temrinals remain black :( what to do?

[07:35] <shinu> tonyyarusso: what is it possible with then?
[07:36] <shredder_> So you have installed linux on this board before?
[07:36] <tonyyarusso> martyn: I take it you're a Synaptic person then.  It means there are 9 packages in the repos that match that description, so if you search in there you'll find a few to choose from.
[07:36] <phaidros__> back
[07:36] <tonyyarusso> shinu: KDE can do it.

[07:36] <tonyyarusso> martyn: Not a problem (that's just how I'm used to doing it)  :)
[07:37] <shredder_> I have a elite group board that would install warty but not breezy
[07:37] <phaidros__> what to do if the console terminal remains black (but I see grub (without splash :() and afterwards X comes up
[07:37] <shredder_> Same board has never worked with the live cd
[07:37] <tonyyarusso> Seveas: 'bout time there pal  ;)
[07:37] <martyn> tonyarusso: its cool got it to work in treminal getting the hang slowly
[07:37] <vernanator> k this is starting to get to me I've followed like 10 guides on how to unrar .rar files on linux and it still wont doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
[07:37] <djiceman> i tried 2 versions of ubuntu,even their live cds along with mandrake and asterisks in the last few hours, nothing works
[07:37] <vernanator> it
[07:37] <shinu> tonyyarusso: ok thx
[07:38] <apokryphos> vernanator: please don't do that
[07:38] <shredder_> The same linux you used previously is now nonfunctional
[07:38] <vernanator> h and my keyboard does that sometimes
[07:38] <vernanator> not on purpose
[07:38] <vernanator> sry
[07:38] <djiceman> exactly, now nothing works...didt try windows tho
[07:38] <shredder_> Very strange
[07:38] <djiceman> the board was lying in room, not used for last few months
[07:38] <twopeak> I didn't manage to edit my Grub to make Windows work :-(
[07:38] <Bambino> Does anyone know why i cant burn the 6.06 ubuntu on my CD? :( i checked the md5checksum and it is correct. But i get a GRUB error :(
[07:38] <gimmulf> LostFrog:  http://pastebin.com/658073   <-- looks good?
[07:38] <shredder_> Have you ever installed win xp on this system before?
[07:38] <Jhair> #debian
[07:38] <TheFuzzball> help please, I need to know where to download the kdeutils source?!?
[07:39] <Seveas> TheFuzzball, apt-get source kdeutils
[07:39] <djiceman> yes, it was my normal use pc...then upgrade and left this board, cpu and ram away
[07:39] <holycow> !openoffice.org2
[07:39] <ubotu> Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, holycow
[07:39] <Concretesledge> .RPM not supported archive typer
[07:39] <Concretesledge> whyy
[07:39] <holycow> !openoffice
[07:39] <ubotu> Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, holycow
[07:39] <vernanator> apokryphos:sry my keyboard is skrewy....can you help me?
[07:39] <holycow> *hmmm* just quickly ... what is the fastest way to install 2.0 binaries of open office to replace the 1.9x ones?
[07:39] <kkathman> Concretesledge:  because ubuntu is a debian based solution and uses debs, not rpms
[07:40] <martyn> how do i install Nvidia grx drivers
[07:40] <_jason> !ooo2
[07:40] <ubotu> To upgrade to OOo 2.0.x, see http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-October/012520.html (add one of the 'deb' lines to sources.list and update+upgrade)
[07:40] <tonyyarusso> holycow: See your pm from ubotu
[07:40] <holycow> thanks!
[07:40] <tonyyarusso> Or that works too.
[07:41] <TheFuzzball> (beta) source package.  Unzip this package into the kmilo directory.
[07:41] <TheFuzzball> Add 'thinkpad' to SUBDIRS in kmilo/Makefile.am.  Then compile as
[07:41] <TheFuzzball> usual starting from the kdeutils directory:
[07:41] <_jason> ubotu: tell martyn about nvidia
[07:41] <djiceman> shredder: any hope for me?
[07:41] <Concretesledge> so i cant install limewire
[07:41] <shredder_> I am no expert at this stuf. I will say this. I used to run knoppix live cd. after a few windows updates the same computer would never run knoppix again. Could it be possible that windows update can screw with the bios settings
[07:41] <_jason> Concretesledge: you can but I would recommend !frostwire instead
[07:41] <bigtoe> Concretesledge: frostwire
[07:41] <livingdaylight> i don't know how, but yesterday i just installed Realplayer easily. Today i just can't figure it out. Can someone help me with installing realplayer, please?
[07:41] <phaidros__> update-grub tells me that it uses splash, but on boot there is no splash
[07:41] <djiceman> i also reset the bios aswell in my attempt to get it working
[07:41] <kkathman> Concretesledge:  you'll need to either find a deb, or get the source and compile it or use frostwire instead
[07:41] <yggdrasil_> is there a netstumbler for linux ?
[07:42] <_jason> ubotu: tell livingdaylight about realplayer
[07:42] <yggdrasil_> i mean probobly a realy dumb quesiton i just cant find it
[07:42] <blindx> ubotu is so wonderful.
[07:42] <ubotu> Syntax error in line 1. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, blindx
[07:42] <shredder_> Have you tried a diferent hard disk drive?
[07:42] <blindx> er. sorry
[07:42] <phaidros__> _jason, does ubotu also know about splash and grub and stuff ;) ?
[07:42] <TheFuzzball> who knows how to install kmilo on Kubuntu with KDE 3.5.2?
[07:42] <Concretesledge> kkathman,  what a pain in the butt
[07:42] <twopeak> tonyyaruso; it didn't work. I added the information at the bottom of the file (like this: http://pastebin.com/658081) but it just made my computer reboot into linux
[07:42] <tonyyarusso> yggdrasil_: What's that?
[07:42] <kkathman> he (ubotu) is fun at parties when he's had drinks too
[07:42] <yggdrasil_> uh
[07:42] <phaidros__> kkathman, hehe
[07:42] <yggdrasil_> im trying to get some sort of netstubmler running
[07:43] <phaidros__> what does he drink? cocktails?
[07:43] <djiceman> i put the same hard drive in the p4 system and successfully installed ubuntu, put that drive into the amd pc and i get the run out of input data system halted or kernel panic system halted
[07:43] <yggdrasil_> i jsut see the stuff on netstumbler for winodw
[07:43] <twopeak> !tell phaidros__ about grub
[07:43] <_jason> phaidros__: /msg ubotu listvals grub, will tell you what he knows about grub
[07:43] <captainredbeard> anyone any idea how to get easycam2 working? namely the sqcam driver?
[07:43] <twopeak> phaidros__ I found information about boot-splash. (but i didn't really read it)
[07:43] <captainredbeard> !sqcam
[07:43] <ubotu> captainredbeard: Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[07:43] <PwcrLinux> netstumbler = wardriver
[07:43] <yggdrasil_> yes
[07:43] <LostFrog> kismet = wardriver
[07:44] <tonyyarusso> twopeak: You probably have a default set.  a) do you even see a menu at boot time at all?
[07:44] <|lostbyte|> Hi, how to i get connected to pc1 ( <IP_ADDRESS> ) my gw which is set properly to do nat, i have done "ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> up;route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>" on pc2 ( ubuntu : <IP_ADDRESS> )  but after that i cant ping google.com or its ip from pc2, why ? ! is there something extra i got to do ? pls help
[07:44] <tonyyarusso> twopeak: (It would be helpful if the pastebin had the entire file)
[07:44] <shredder_> Sounds like you have a project going on. Amazing that we have been in here discusing this problem and no one has a word of advice as to your problem
[07:44] <twopeak> tonyyarusso if I press esc on time, i see it, I can choose different options, but chosing my "Windows XP" just made the computer reboot.
[07:45] <shredder_> Perhaps your ram is the cause
[07:45] <djiceman> its bad, i really need to sort this out
[07:45] <tonyyarusso> twopeak: What do you have installed on the MBR of hdb?
[07:45] <phaidros__> thanx  twopeak & _jason
[07:46] <phaidros__> but the info doesn't help
[07:46] <shredder_> Try looking at the ram and make sure that they are in tight. Try diferent ram as well
[07:46] <djiceman> i did notice that wen i remove one stick, it going abit further
[07:46] <twopeak> tonyarusso: hdb primary /media/hdb1 is the windows. Entire file is in pastebin now http://pastebin.com/658088
[07:46] <PwcrLinux> who's talk about ram problem?
[07:46] <arrick> ok, who is good with setting permissions and views in proftpd
[07:46] <phaidros__> my bootsplash is gone, but update-grub says it sets splash. so its booting without splash and the temrinals remain black, while booting. X starts, terms still black .. ?
[07:46] <djiceman> by further i mean: uncompressing linux             invalid data tree       system halted
[07:47] <nalioth> !msg
[07:47] <ubotu> please don't /msg people or start a personal message/ dcc chat without asking first in channel. People might be busy, and you have a better chance of an answer in the channel. Don't assume a particular user will be able to help you.
[07:47] <djiceman> the ram is pc133....
[07:47] <somene> can i freely remove 4 extra boot options from /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[07:47] <shredder_> Do you have more than one stick
[07:47] <Agent_bob> RAM problem = too much ram and swap     hehhe.
[07:47] <PwcrLinux> djiceman: did the system halted after ram checked in?
[07:47] <djiceman> i have one 256mb stick and one 128mb stick
[07:47] <Agent_bob> somene yes you can
[07:48] <somene> Agent_bob: thanks
[07:48] <shredder_> Try just one of them and see
[07:48] <tonyyarusso> twopeak: Okay, so it's trying to chainload to the other drive, but what's in the other drive's bootloader?
[07:48] <djiceman> i tried both, different slots, same problem
[07:48] <shredder_> Thats about all I can guess is the hang up
[07:48] <tonyyarusso> somene: Better to comment them out than remove, in case you want them later.
[07:48] <arrick> djiceman, bad ram
[07:48] <somene> tonyyarusso: okay... i'll try that
[07:48] <Agent_bob> somene best way to remove them is to comment them out.   then if you want to put them back just uncomment them
[07:48] <djiceman> even tried turning of dma to cdrom, thats wen it went to kernel panic system halted
[07:48] <twopeak> tonyyarusso: the other drive contains ubuntu. (IDE master (hda)   #1 primary /media/hda1)
[07:49] <mephis1987_> !fsck
[07:49] <shredder_> Try windows for kicks. That will give you a better clue
[07:49] <livingdaylight> _jason: you star!
[07:49] <tonyyarusso> twopeak: I don't think we're communicating very well.  Isn't Ubuntu on the drive you're messing with the grub on?
[07:49] <shredder_> Or not?
[07:49] <livingdaylight> _jason: that was soooooo easy
[07:50] <djiceman> ya, winxp will take an hour to install, might just install win98 just now if i dnt get this right
[07:50] <arrick> djiceman, before you touched the ram, did you ground yourself by touching the powersupply to amke sure you released your bosy's statlc electricity?
[07:50] <_jason> livingdaylight: wiki.ubuntu.com usually has the easiest way to do things
[07:50] <arrick> bodys
[07:50] <Concretesledge> Could not open "autozen_2.1-1_i386.deb"
[07:50] <Concretesledge> Archive type not supported.
[07:50] <shredder_> Is it possible that a jumper is missing? or in the wrong space
[07:50] <twopeak> tonyarusso: Yes, I'm now in Ubuntu on hda and Grub seems to be on this drive (the menu.lst file is)
[07:50] <Cin> Is there a program to burn AVI videos to DVD?
[07:50] <|lostbyte|> Hi, how to i get connected to pc1 ( <IP_ADDRESS> ) my gw which is set properly to do nat, i have done "ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> up;route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>" on pc2 ( ubuntu : <IP_ADDRESS> )  but after that i cant ping google.com or its ip from pc2, why ? ! is there something extra i got to do ? pls help
[07:50] <djiceman> arrick: i had the psu in my hand
[07:50] <arrick> ok
[07:51] <binil> how to work with 3ddesktop
[07:51] <PwcrLinux> djiceman: put the live CD and run a memtest86 to check see any errors, just leaving on 24 hours till you find any errors, if the memtest86 freeze, shut down and reseating a ram and run memtest86 again
[07:51] <shredder_> Just see if it wii begin to install. You really dont have to fully install to find out if there is a memory prob
[07:51] <tonyyarusso> twopeak: Okay, and what's on the master boot record of the second drive?
[07:51] <livingdaylight> _jason: wiki.ubuntu.com wiki.ubuntu.com wiki.ubuntu.com is my friend - ok, i think thats burned into memory. Didn't realise, thx. The other way to download it and then chmodetcetc was hellish
[07:51] <djiceman> pwcrlinux: livecd wont boot either i get : uncompressing linux       run out of input data          system halted
[07:51] <tonyyarusso> binil: 3ddesk <whatever you want it to do>, see 3ddesk --help and man 3ddesk
[07:51] <janwillem> djiceman: some motherboards only works fine with dubble sticks of the same size. did you try?
[07:51] <Noside> hi everybody
[07:51] <twopeak> tonyyarusso: the second drive is hdb and hdb1 contains a fresh Windows XP profesional
[07:52] <Noside> i have a problem
[07:52] <binil> tonyyarusso:thanks
[07:52] <Noside> someone can help
[07:52] <djiceman> janwillem: this board worked fined a few months back wen i installed linux for a day
[07:52] <PwcrLinux> djiceman: Hmm, is that ECC should be turned off..
[07:52] <_jason> !helpme
[07:52] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[07:52] <tonyyarusso> twopeak: Fresh?  Okay, then it should have the Windows bootloader okay too...  Does it give you any sort of output about what's going on when it goes into the reboot on selection?
[07:52] <Ashly> anyone get ubuntu to install in colinux via an ISO image?
[07:52] <djiceman> pwcrlinux: no ecc settings
[07:52] <janwillem> djiceman: ok, i'am thinking
[07:52] <LostFrog> twopeak: is it using chain +1?
[07:53] <Noside> i'm new using ubuntu and i'm trying to install java
[07:53] <PwcrLinux> djiceman: try reseating the ram again
[07:53] <djiceman> tried that
[07:53] <_jason> ubotu: tell Noside about javadebs
[07:53] <arrick> tonyyarusso, i bet it destroyed grub, thats why they recommend dualboot, installing windows first
[07:53] <djiceman> guess i got to install windows first
[07:53] <shredder_> Check jumper on hard drive as well
[07:53] <somene> dual-boot is quite simple with ubuntu. :)
[07:53] <twopeak> tonyyarusso: I have no clue what is chain +1 (I just copied it from the example in the same menu.lst) And when I choose the option "Windows XP" the screen blacks and the computer reboots
[07:53] <djiceman> hard drive is master, no jumper, single cable and got another cable for cdrom
[07:53] <tonyyarusso> arrick: They're separate drives, and grub's there fine.
[07:53] <arrick> yeah there is a very simple wiki on it too
[07:53] <arrick> ok
[07:53] <Noside> but once i have done everything i can't do this dpkg -i sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update06_i386.deb
[07:54] <Noside> because i'm not a superuser
[07:54] <LostFrog> If it is anything like debian, you have to build your own deb for java.
[07:54] <arrick> djiceman, your sure the hd is hooked to ide1?
[07:54] <shredder_> Try cable select settin on your hard drive
[07:54] <djiceman> arrick: yes, it registers as master in cmos
[07:55] <Agent_bob> Noside sudo
[07:55] <PwcrLinux> djiceman: I guess the data spews out.. try get other install CD, that could be bad CD. you might've a wrong burn speed settings, that should burn speed at 4x onto disc..
[07:55] <djiceman> but how would the setting of hard drive cause my problem? i just used the hard drive as is in the p4 pc and installed fine
[07:55] <Noside> i have to write sudo?
[07:55] <Agent_bob> !tell noside about root
[07:55] <tonyyarusso> twopeak: This might be a "Windows is dumb" situation.  I wonder what would happen if the drive with Windows was rigged up as the master rather than the slave.
[07:55] <_jason> Noside: sudo dpkg -i ....
[07:55] <Noside> thanks
[07:55] <Noside> let me try
[07:56] <shredder_> You mentioned that the motherboard sat around a while.
[07:56] <twopeak> tonyyarusso do I have to change the jumpers on the disk? (phisically?)
[07:56] <djiceman> pwcrlinux: i tried 2 different ubuntu discs, asterisk and mandrake, nothing works
[07:56] <arrick> tony, then the grub would install on the mbr, and it would boot fine
[07:56] <arrick> tonyyarusso, ^^
[07:56] <tonyyarusso> twopeak: To test that theory, yes.
[07:56] <djiceman> shredder: yes, didt use it for a few months
[07:56] <vernanator> What is .chm
[07:56] <Noside> thanks averybody u people rock
[07:56] <tonyyarusso> arrick: Talk to twopeak, not me :)
[07:56] <arrick> ok
[07:56] <shredder_> Check that nothing is missing or scratched
[07:56] <Noside> well jason thanks
[07:56] <Noside> it work
[07:57] <twopeak> tonyyarusso, okay, i'm trying that now! thanks for the help :-)
[07:57] <shredder_> Do you have a different computer?
[07:57] <djiceman> yes
[07:57] <tonyyarusso> arrick: I think the thing is the Windows bootloader (that's being chainloaded) can't handle being slave, so refers back to the master, creating a useless looping.  (Maybe?)
[07:57] <Cin> Is there a program capable of burning AVI videos to DVD?
[07:57] <arrick> yep
[07:57] <arrick> thts what it is from what I see there
[07:57] <shredder_> Try your hard drive in question in that other computer and see if it installs ubuntu
[07:58] <LostFrog> switch the drives and revise fstab
[07:58] <arrick> I just couldnt remember the terminology for it tonyyarusso
[07:58] <blindx> Are there any ghosting utilities for linux?
[07:58] <djiceman> shredder: thats wot i did, and ubuntu installed fine, just on the amd pc im having problems installing or running the installed version
[07:58] <shredder_> If same error than you know your drive is damaged
[07:58] <Noside> otherthing i downloaded real player but can't read .mp3 files
[07:59] <LostFrog> blindx: yes. there is a ghost clone and partimage.. google for them.
[07:59] <venin> im connected through wireless to a linksys wrk54g router that dials pppoe and using a modem set to bridge mode. however, i lose internet connection quite often when using the wireless and ubuntu, its not like that when using windows xp. any ideas?
[07:59] <blindx> "ghost clone" "partimage" LostFrog ?
[07:59] <[cro] smiley> Is it possible to change color for code in Anjuta (for example to change red commet color to somthing else)?
[07:59] <PwcrLinux> djiceman: Hmm, could be on hard drive death? did you hear or feel vibration on the hard drive or hd led stays on forever?
[07:59] <Noside> i have a real player file in my desktop with a lock why is that?
[08:00] <arrick> venin, yeah bad wireless support in ubuntu
[08:00] <shredder_> So with the hard drive that you used the other comp to install to disfunctions when installed on the amd. Your motherboard might be damaged.
[08:00] <livingdaylight> guys, what is the 'quicktime' equivalent in Linux? or can clips requiring 'quicktime' simply not be viewed on Linux? (that'd be a shame)
[08:00] <djiceman> hard drive works fine i just installed ubuntu on it using a p4 system, but wen i put the hard drive in the amd pc, it loads, but ubuntu does not load
[08:00] <venin> arrick, any fixes?
[08:00] <blindx> venin
[08:00] <blindx> try..
[08:00] <blindx> nm-applet
[08:00] <blindx> It works wonders for me
[08:01] <arrick> yep
[08:01] <arrick> that or ndiswrapper
[08:01] <mc|amb> hi, my java apps stoped working when i installed aiglx+compiz... anyone know why?? thanks
[08:01] <vernanator> OK I hate .rar files
[08:01] <djiceman> guess ill run a windows server if i dnt get linux working
[08:01] <venin> doesnt ndiswrapper just turn windows drivers to linux?
[08:01] <PwcrLinux> djiceman: try reseating a hd cables?
[08:02] <djiceman> i even put in new cables
[08:02] <venin> arrick, it works fine on other wireless networks afaik
[08:02] <Agent_bob> djiceman not puting it on the same ide cable ?
[08:02] <Noside> someone knows why i can not paly .mp3 files??
[08:02] <blindx> venin: try installing nm-applet. It's great.
[08:02] <arrick> !restricted
[08:02] <ubotu> I heard restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[08:02] <venin> blindx, what is that?
[08:02] <Noside> do i have to install anything
[08:02] <djiceman> agent bob: each device has its own cable
[08:02] <blindx> It's a network manager
[08:02] <Noside> ?
[08:02] <arrick> Agent_bob, ^^ see ubotus post
[08:02] <UFOz2> unbuntu sux O-o... thx for the free coaster though... makes a perfect cup holder and freezebie
[08:03] <Noside> i download real player but still can't play files
[08:03] <Agent_bob> arrick ?
[08:03] <[cro] smiley> Is it possible to change color for code in Anjuta (for example to change red comment color to something else)?
[08:03] <_jason> Noside: what files?
[08:03] <arrick> Noside, sorry that was fro you from ubotu^^
[08:03] <arrick> sorry Agent_bob wrong person

[08:03] <livingdaylight> _jason: do you know?
[08:04] <Noside> sorry, where?
[08:04] <_jason> livingdaylight: mplayer with w32codecs will play quicktime
[08:04] <venin> blindx, i never use hardwired network on this computer thou..
[08:04] <livingdaylight> ubotu tell livingdaylight about quicktime
[08:04] <Agent_bob> djiceman what i'm saying is "if the drive is on ide0 in one box and you put it on ide1 in the other box, you will have to change the grub and fstab accordingly; else it will fail"
[08:04] <arrick> look at the last post that ubotu made Noside ^^
[08:04] <_jason> Noside: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[08:04] <blindx> venin: that's okay, it does wireless too.
[08:04] <livingdaylight> _jason: you star! thax again
[08:04] <blindx> "If you live in a country where it is legal, you can enable MP3 playback"
[08:04] <blindx> so basically "We're saving our asses, you can do it yourself" :P
[08:04] <djiceman> agent bob: grub loads, then it goes to uncompressing linux           run out of input data            system halted
[08:05] <martyn> what are the ubutut defaulf theme types
[08:05] <venin> nm-applet something else than "network manager" ?
[08:05] <livingdaylight> _jason: sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer or just mplayer or...am i after a certain version?
[08:06] <_jason> livingdaylight: you need mplayer for mozilla-mplayer to work.  Install mplayer first
[08:06] <_jason> ubotu: tell livingdaylight about mplayer
[08:06] <Agent_bob> djiceman also if the drive is set to cable select, and it is master in one box on ide0, then you put it in the other box on ide0 but it defaults to slave, it will fail unless you edit grub and fstab
[08:07] <djiceman> agent bob: grub loaded started perfectly, its after that, while uncompressing linux, i got errors
[08:07] <blindx> venin: nm-applet = network manager
[08:07] <Agent_bob> djiceman yep.  that's what i said
[08:07] <shredder_> I don't have any other ideas for your problem. cept just you have more patience than me. My advice, Just run the P4 and toss the amd. But thats only my primitive thought process. It's broke toss it.Good luck, gotta go to work. C-yall
[08:07] <venin> blindx, ill give it a go.. thnx
[08:07] <LostFrog> Insert AMD int box and address to LostFrog
[08:08] <djiceman> thanks for trying to help shredder, later
[08:08] <djiceman> well, the p4 system is windows, its for work
[08:08] <Xardas> morgen
[08:08] <Xardas> hi ;)
[08:08] <Agent_bob> djiceman you have moved / (the root fs)  to a different address.    i.e.  root=/dev/hda1   to  root=/dev/hdc1
[08:09] <simonpca> plop
[08:09] <Xardas> i use xfce under dapper, but i have a problem there... i can't see any panels...
[08:09] <djiceman> agent bob: im fairly new to linux and dont know how to do that
[08:09] <tonyyarusso> Shouldn't all of my bash logins log command entries to ~/.bash_history?  What am I missing here?
[08:10] <djiceman> brb 20min, need a snack
[08:10] <Agent_bob> djiceman i'm fairly newbee burned out, so i'm not going into that.   but that's why your system doesn't boot when you move the drive.
[08:10] <trappist> tonyyarusso: your logins should be logged to /var/log/auth.log.  commands you run should go to .bash_history, but it only gets written when you exit the shell.
[08:11] <arrick> Is DBO here somewherE?
[08:11] <brent> Hey: I am tryingt to install an application, and I get this error: Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
[08:11] <arrick> mwe?
[08:11] <tonyyarusso> trappist: Ah, that'll be it.  Not written until exit.  Got it.
[08:11] <lopz> whats that command i gotta run to restart my right-click menu in xfce?
[08:12] <trappist> brent: libgtk2.0-dev
[08:12] <arrick> who is good with proftpd permissions here?
[08:12] <brent> trappist: ok hold up
[08:12] <Xardas> no idea?
[08:13] <trappist> Xardas: I think there's a #xubuntu
[08:13] <arrick> yep'
[08:13] <tonyyarusso> How much of my system resources would I be sacrificing on my laptop if I wanted to run an Apache web server with low traffic just for kicks?
[08:13] <arrick> IdleOne you miving yet?
[08:13] <trappist> tonyyarusso: you won't notice a thing
[08:13] <arrick> tonyyarusso, not any at all
[08:13] <LostFrog> A couple of megs of virtual memory.
[08:13] <dpm> if I want to recompile a package with different compilation switches, I cannot use 'apt-get -b source <package>', can I? Is there a way I can do this (I mean compiling with different options and generating a new package automatically)?
[08:13] <trappist> arrick: that's not quite true
[08:13] <arrick> well not much
[08:14] <tonyyarusso> trappist, arrick: Sweet.  /me has another tinkering project for the summer then.
[08:14] <trappist> tonyyarusso: even less if you use lighttpd instead of apache
[08:14] <TABASCO> hi, can anyone help me to install ndiswrapper?
[08:14] <LostFrog> or thttpd or abyss.
[08:14] <TABASCO> I am new at Linux and dont know how to install
[08:14] <arrick> if my 233mhz would run the ubuntu desktop as well as apache, proftps, and sshserver,a nd mysql, your laptop will be fine tonyyarusso
[08:15] <tonyyarusso> trappist, LostFrog, arrick: What's the difference, and how would I decide what I need?
[08:15] <livingdaylight> _jason: when configuring the mozila file, that is cutting and pasting as per wiki instructions i am told i cannot save?? bizarre...just error window just pops up: "Could not save the file/home/conrad/.mplayer/config
[08:15] <eobanb> http://www.firefoxflicks.com/flick/index.php?id=19542&c=false
[08:15] <cedric77> ho shit my nuggets was on fire
[08:15] <c6h12o6> aptitude install ndiswrapper-utils
[08:15] <livingdaylight> _jason: i'm stumped!
[08:15] <arrick> tonyyarusso, at the minimum you would want apache2, and maybe sshserver, so you could remote into it if you wanted
[08:15] <trappist> tonyyarusso: different lists of features.  if I were you I'd just go with apache, since there's no shortage of docs for it.
[08:15] <Agent_bob> arrick 233 :)     this is a 100mhz box
[08:16] <arrick> haha
[08:16] <c6h12o6> if you do aptitude search ndis you'll see all the ndis stuff
[08:16] <tonyyarusso> arrick, trappist: Sounds good to me.
[08:16] <arrick> Agent_bob, your kinda small, i just left the 233 for a 700 yesterday
[08:16] <_jason> livingdaylight: run mplayer once then try again
[08:16] <TABASCO> I have an manual here, and they write: sudo mv ndiswrapper-1.13.tar.gz. /usr/src
[08:16] <duelboot_> TABASCO, (32 or 64 bit)? and what wireless driver?
[08:16] <c6h12o6> tabasco, its available with apt
[08:17] <c6h12o6> and the ndisgtk has a nice gui to install the driver
[08:17] <TABASCO> for a AMILO Pro, Fujitsu Siemens
[08:17] <arrick> tonyyarusso, check out !apache to figure out what you want, it is really up to you, but i dont think you need lampp
[08:17] <TABASCO> he says, "No such File or Directory"
[08:17] <tonyyarusso> arrick: Not the whole thing, seeing as I know nothing about MySql or PHP yet at this point.  Thanks.
[08:17] <LostFrog> Is the last p for python, arrick?
[08:18] <Noside> i can play mp3 files but can't listen anything
[08:18] <duelboot_> TABASCO, look here and doe EXACTLY what it says (make sure the driver is supported and all): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper?action=show&redirect=SetupNdiswrapperHowto
[08:18] <arrick> LostFrog, huh?
[08:18] <Agent_bob> tonyyarusso !lamp  might have some good reading on that.
[08:18] <duelboot_> TABASCO, you may hae to run through the troubleshooting before it works (to have a clean slate for Ndiswrapper install)
[08:18] <tonyyarusso> Agent_bob: Yeah.
[08:19] <LostFrog> arrick: I know what LAMP is.. is LAMPP LAMP with pthon?
[08:19] <livingdaylight> _jason: you're wicked
[08:19] <arrick> LostFrog, not sure on that, But possibly
[08:19] <ardchoille> Anyone who is running gnome 2.14, click on the desktop, then press the "/" key on your keyboard and watch what happens :)
[08:20] <_jason> livingdaylight: it didn't want to save because the ~/.mplayer directory didn't exist yet
[08:20] <LostFrog> Perl
[08:20] <TABASCO> thanks, I will try
[08:20] <Noside> do i have to unpack anything to get some audio_
[08:20] <venin> uhm, mplayer lags when playing music-files and get desynced (but not lagged) when playing movie-files.. any ideas?
[08:20] <Noside> ?
[08:20] <livingdaylight> _jason: and starting it, although it didn't work, allowed me to save the configuration file and now it does work..magic
[08:21] <TABASCO> well, I dont know how to send files to another place, when I've downloaded them
[08:21] <Noside> yeah me too
[08:21] <Noside> have the same problem
[08:21] <Noside> lol
[08:21] <FlannelKing>  TABASCO locally?
[08:22] <livingdaylight> _jason: sorry to bug you like this, last time tonite : ) do you know how to not let firefox make totem pop up as default when clicking on vid clips? and making mplayer default or even better jut letting me choose
[08:22] <TABASCO> locally?
[08:23] <FlannelKing> TABASCO: you mean like moving files on your machine? or what
[08:23] <_jason> livingdaylight: do you mean the embedded clips?  or the ones it asks you to download?
[08:23] <Noside> yes
[08:23] <TABASCO> ehm
[08:23] <Noside> moving files inmy pc
[08:23] <TABASCO> I need to send them to a directory
[08:23] <FlannelKing> Noside: mv or cp (move or copy).  (or drag/drop from a GUI, obviously)
[08:23] <brent> trappist: that didnt work
[08:23] <NickGarvey> in proftpd, I can't seem to get the chroot jail to work.. I have the line "DefaultRoot ~ users", I restarted and reloaded proftpd, but I am still not jailed on the user which I have confirmed is in the group users
[08:23] <TABASCO> sudo mv ndiswrapper-1.1.tar.gz /usr/src
[08:24] <TABASCO> thats what they write in the manual
[08:24] <mike_> i just installed my ATI video card drivers...and i am having a few issues with it now. when the computer starts the left monitor(the primary one) says out of range error.
[08:24] <Noside> but i have one file with a lock in the border, if i move it stops working or what??
[08:24] <Agent_bob> TABASCO why not install ndiswarper via    sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
[08:25] <TABASCO> whats that??
[08:25] <void^> why not get a current version from ndiswrapper.sf.net
[08:25] <c6h12o6> tabasco.. this will be easier as this,  sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-utils ndisgtk
[08:25] <Noside> sorry for my english my native is spanish
[08:25] <mike_> what does out of range erro mean for a monotor?
[08:25] <c6h12o6> from the terminal
[08:25] <FlannelKing> Noside: no, it's that you don't have the right permissions
[08:25] <livingdaylight> _jason: errr...embedded clips i think. You know when in a browser and you wanna watch something there and then without downloading and saving it for viewing later, just click there and then
[08:25] <Noside> lol
[08:25] <_jason> ubotu: tell livingdaylight about replacetotem
[08:25] <TABASCO> okay
[08:26] <martyn> is there any way to proprly config ALSA drivers as it sounds really bad on my sound card
[08:26] <TABASCO> the file is on the desktop, now
[08:26] <c6h12o6> or inside gnome, click System then Administration then Synaptic Package Manager
[08:26] <Noside> permissions to move it or to use it??
[08:26] <Noside> because is a real pleyer file
[08:26] <TABASCO> what is "sudo" for?
[08:26] <c6h12o6> TABASCO, did you see what i told you
[08:27] <TABASCO> yes, the command
[08:27] <c6h12o6> tabasco, runs things with root privelege
[08:27] <Agent_bob> !sudo
[08:27] <ubotu> hmm... sudo is a command that will let users run commands as root. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[08:27] <TABASCO> the second command?
[08:27] <bartekWeyd> hi! I have problem with my touchpad - it's slower than mouse. I've installed QSynaptics and id demanding synaptics driver which is already installed... could anyone help me?
[08:27] <TABASCO> or the first, you've send
[08:27] <c6h12o6> aptitude is like apt, it downloads files for you
[08:27] <cedric77> can anyone tell my about the differences between gtk and metacity themes please
[08:27] <c6h12o6> so if you run that command, it will download the ndiswrapper things you need and install them
[08:28] <Agent_bob> and set them up
[08:28] <c6h12o6> that too
[08:28] <bartekWeyd> sorry, could anyone help me with touchpad?
[08:28] <c6h12o6> the ndisgtk is a graphical app to install the drivers for your wifi card
[08:28] <TABASCO> yes
[08:29] <c6h12o6> it makes it all very easy
[08:29] <TABASCO> I try the command you gave me
[08:29] <livingdaylight> _jason: no such file or directory- i did have synaptics remove totem already. What i was concerned about was that when clicking on a clip firefox would nevertheless try and use totem, regardless of whether it was installed or not, you know what i mean?
[08:29] <TABASCO> is there a hotkey to choose between the desktops?
[08:29] <martyn> what email client is more like outlook
[08:30] <_jason> livingdaylight: so embedded videos play with mplayer then?
[08:30] <Agent_bob>
[08:30] <roryy> TABASCO: Ctrl-Alt-1 (and -2, -3 and -4). Also Ctrl-Alt-Left and -Right.
[08:30] <_jason> livingdaylight: when firefox opens up external videos like that it can be changed somewhere in preferences I believe.  I'm not using 1.07 so I don't know the exact location
[08:30] <livingdaylight> i haven't had the guts to try yet. Yesterday, my system serioiusly crashed when i did. firefox looking for totem and freezing, have done a fresh install and tryhing to get it right
[08:30] <TABASCO> thanks
[08:31] <venin> swop
[08:31] <patrick52222> !nvidia

[08:31] <jodanlime> I've been trying to log onto gmail, and it works in konquerer but not in firefox, it just keeps telling me that my session has been interupted, what should I do?
[08:31] <livingdaylight> _jason: nah...i looked and there is nothing that configures video player from preferences
[08:32] <livingdaylight> _jason: yet its programmed somewhere for sure otherwise how does it know to pick 'whatever' totem yesterday in my case
[08:32] <TABASCO> he says: "E: cannot find package ndiswrapper"
[08:32] <venin> blindx, if i use network manager.. should i remove "auto eth0" from network/interfaces ?
[08:32] <_jason> livingdaylight: in 1.5 it's preferences > downloads > view and edit actions
[08:32] <c6h12o6> tabasco , ndiswrapper-utils
[08:33] <c6h12o6> tabasco, did you see what i sent you?
[08:34] <rhalff> hi, I'm trying to use usb devices with vmware on ubuntu, but usbfs seems to be in the way, how do I stop this on ubuntu, or what services should I stop ?
[08:34] <njan> rhalff, you'll need to stop hotplug and rmmod usb-storage
[08:34] <njan> rhalff, then connect the device when the VM is running and has focus
[08:34] <luciano> Ola
[08:34] <rhalff> njan, before I always dit /etc/init.d/hotplug stop, but there is no hotplug init.d script :)
[08:34] <luciano> Ola
[08:35] <livingdaylight> _jason: shame, not in 1.0.7
[08:35] <livingdaylight> does breezy not upgrade to 1.5?
[08:35] <Noside> is there a way to set windows xp by default in the dual boot instead of ubuntu?
[08:35] <_jason> livingdaylight: try creating a new profile.  I'm pretty sure it asks the first time it opens
[08:35] <patrick52222> has anyone got the drivers of nvidia site to install
[08:35] <Agent_bob> Noside edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:35] <njan> rhalff, I have an /etc/init.d/hotplug.. which version of ubuntu are you using?
[08:35] <livingdaylight> _jason: i don't follow
[08:36] <Noside> thanks agent bob
[08:36] <rhalff> njan, dapper, ok I'll ask in ubuntu+ then :)
[08:36] <venin> Go to System -> Preferences -> Sessions In the Startup Programs tab, click Add type "nm-applet", click OK. log out of your gnome session, and log back in again.
[08:36] <njan> rhalff, :)
[08:36] <venin> where is that?
[08:36] <venin> i cant find it, hehe.. and im using gnome
[08:36] <Agent_bob> you could just remove hotplug from that system
[08:36] <bluemermaid> I seem to have accidentally overwritten the original Human theme in my Breezy installation. Is there anywhere I can download the original to replace it?
[08:37] <_jason> livingdaylight: close all instances of firefox, run 'firefox -ProfileManager', create a new one, and see if it lets you choose what to open it with when you try to open it
[08:37] <student> hi

[08:40] <KenSentMe> papapep, #ubuntu+1 is for dapper
[08:40] <BlueSwirl> it's a linux irc channel, of course there are hot girls here :p
[08:40] <tx> fine shut up student ur a perv
[08:40] <njan> Agent_bob, well, it would probably work, but you'd lose a vast amount of functionality..
[08:40] <papapep> ups, sorry
[08:40] <NickGarvey> Seveas: (14:39:01) student: so is there any good lookin girls in here (14:39:49) student: njan shut the hell up
[08:40] <njan> student, sorry, did I do something in particular to offend you?
[08:41] <NickGarvey> thank you :)
[08:41] <TABASCO> okay, seems like he has downloaded ndis
[08:41] <njan> ty, Seveas :)
[08:41] <_jason> that works too
[08:41] <mephis1987_> do any 1 know any electrics simulator in ubuntu ? any spice software ?
[08:41] <Agent_bob> njan removing the module "hotplug" affects the system in the same way.   no ?
[08:41] <c6h12o6> tabasco, did you download ndisgtk too?
[08:41] <TABASCO> how do I this?
[08:41] <venin> where to set firefox to be default browser? the function in preferences in firefox doesnt work.. prolly 1.5 issue
[08:41] <vernanator> what do I need in order to play mp3s?
[08:41] <mephis1987_> do any 1 know any electrics simulator in ubuntu ? any spice software ?
[08:41] <c6h12o6> sudo aptitude install ndisgtk
[08:42] <njan> Agent_bob, stopping hotplug would remove the functionality until you either restarted the service or rebooted.

[08:42] <njan> Agent_bob, hotplug is a program which loads modules, not a module itself.
[08:42] <comrade> where is the gdm file located with the sessions
[08:43] <Noside> it says> Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/*"
