[05:53] <habeeb> How can I do this command: mpg123 -w myfile.wav myfile.mp3. For each file in a directory? I want the mp3 and wav to have the same names. Thanks.
[05:53] <cypherdelic> j2daosh, i got grub error 21 once, and it was because the order of my partitions changed due to gparted action and that solved my problem
[05:53] <rowanjl> cypher1: I have the logs, and supposedly it can't detect my screen. Is it possible to force it somehow?
[05:54] <minimec> MojoWork: I don't remember if I did a upgrade with the gui
[05:54] <agliv5> ok there's no such thing as apt-remove so how do you remove a package that won't go away?
[05:54] <cypherdelic> j2daosh,  you fixed it with windows overwriting the mbr
[05:54] <cypherdelic> ?
[05:54] <cypherdelic> ?
[05:54] <LjL> agliv5: "sudo apt-get remove package"?
[05:54] <cypher1> rowanjl, did you paste it @ pastebin
[05:54] <j2daosh> cypherdelic: mine didn't change due to gparted, mine changes because intel chipset doesn't like my linux

[06:03] <agliv5> I had to update glib to >= 2.5 and, in doing so, removed the standard glib ubuntu package.  Ubuntu didn't like that and now I'm trying to fix it.  Anyone feel up to helping me?
[06:03] <bigcx2> the symbol {} references the current filename
[06:03] <habeeb> I see.
[06:03] <habeeb> so mpg123 -w {}.wav {}.mp3, would do the trick?
[06:04] <LjL> usr13: "sudo apt-get update" after enabling universe, then install proftpd
[06:04] <bigcx2> possibly...you might have to use sed or something to strip off the extension in your command

[06:04] <LjL> usr13: make sure you enable universe in edgy-updates and edgy-security also (or the Dapper equivalents if you're using that)

[06:05] <rowanjl> cypher1: I can't focus on this anymore (3:30am), the alternate cd is downloading. thanks for the help

[06:11] <HymnToLife> or mount the device yourself

[06:16] <LjL> bigcx2, with -name "*.mp3" it will work, but i don't see how it can work with -name .mp3

[06:20] <apokryphos> Shaffox: http://ubuntu.com
[06:20] <Vigo_> !iptables
[06:20] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[06:20] <cypherdelic> minimec, tom47: after mkdir the /var/run/havp and then reinstalling. it worked, thanks guys
[06:20] <nothlit> Shaffox: great big community, tons of users, and debian base
[06:20] <bigcx2> Shaffox: if you look, there is 992 people in this chatroom
[06:20] <rpog> bigcx2: if i instaled the window manager after ubuntu i would accept the answer, i suppose packages are missing
[06:20] <tom47> rpog maybe you could try #xubuntu???
[06:20] <rdz> Shaffox, because it is the easiest and best working linux i know
[06:20] <LjL> !offtopic
[06:20] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[06:21] <LjL> rpog, channel names start with # almost universally. if some clients add a # automatically if you forget it, well, that might be, but it's definitely not the norm
[06:21] <bigcx2> Shaffox: why not just run the live mode
[06:21] <nothlit> agliv5: the livecd has gparted on it, and psychocats.net has a great tutorial about how to move your data to a home partition
[06:22] <rpog> LjL: i understand that, but i assumed it was the norm, everyone single one i tried did that

[06:22] <bigcx2> Shaffox: yes burn it onto a cd, and then at your bios menu select cdrom as the primary boot device
[06:23] <variant> LjL: is it a gui or command line? (would be nice to double check it's output
[06:23] <agliv5> nothlit so reboot live and run gparted?
[06:23] <Shaffox> my primary cd-reader is broken :s
[06:23] <variant> jesper: for example, wine, flash, win32codecs
[06:23] <LjL> variant: command line i'm afraid. but most probably better than simple generic "find duplicates" programs, even though there's GUIs for those, since it deals with different resolution images, etc
[06:23] <bigcx2> ah
[06:23] <LjL> variant: and different formats of course
[06:23] <Shaffox> but, when i put ubuntu in stead of windows, how would i do that
[06:23] <Shaffox> would al my files be lost ?
[06:24] <variant> LjL: cool, I will give it a shot. There is a patch in the works for f-spot to add that feature
[06:24] <CyberCod> pbureau there's tons of alsa stuff in there.. any specific package in mind?
[06:24] <bigcx2> Shaffox: what do you mean
[06:24] <bigcx2> in vmware?
[06:24] <Shaffox> no, in real
[06:24] <variant> Shaffox: you can dual boot, windows and ubuntu will be on differnet partitions
[06:24] <nothlit> agliv5: your main aim is to do a NEW installation while preserving your /home data?
[06:24] <pbureau> CyberCod, look for.. hang on
[06:24] <variant> Shaffox: you can share files between the two in a number of different ways
[06:24] <cstextiles> f i can find a way by which after mentioning metapackages I need to download only the Packages that may not be installed depending on the metapackages ment9ioned then it will mean lower files to be downlaoded? I actually had a site http://ljl.byethost14.com/apt but now it doesn't works
[06:24] <variant> Shaffox: and you choose which to load when you turn on the computer from a menu
[06:24] <LjL> !gnuift | variant, you could also have a look at this, though i never could quite get it to work (not that i've tried very hard). this has a KDE interface called kmrml, it's very likely there's some GNOME interface as well, maybe f-spot itself - but it's more geared towards finding images in general, than finding *duplicates*
[06:24] <ubotu> gnuift: GNU Image Finding Tool - index and search images by content. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.14-6.2 (edgy), package size 105 kB, installed size 264 kB
[06:24] <bigcx2> you could dual boot check out the windows installer for ubuntu
[06:25] <pbureau> CyberCod, let me start mine up
[06:25] <Shaffox> and how do i put ubuntu on the other disk partition ?
[06:25] <variant> LjL: thanks mate
[06:25] <maankar> hi guys
[06:25] <bigcx2> the installer will walk you through it
[06:25] <variant> Shaffox: just install windows first then install ubuntu, it has options in the installer that will let you choose where to install it
[06:25] <bigcx2> you need the windows installer
[06:25] <LjL> cstextiles: that's my site, and yes, it's unfortunately down... i could use it locally for you perhaps, what do you need?
[06:25] <bigcx2> right
[06:25] <D3LUX> Hello guys.. i need link to installition guide that let me install the os and stay also the win xp

[06:26] <BrendanM> Hey everyone, I'm trying to get a USB hard drive working, when I plug it in, I see under "dmesg | tail"   "usb 1-1.3: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 17"  where would I go about finding the drive in /dev/ to mount it?
[06:26] <D3LUX> grimboy, Thank you. :P
[06:26] <bigcx2> BrendanM: it should already be mounted
[06:27] <bigcx2> try /media/usbdisk
[06:27] <bigcx2> or your desktop
[06:27] <BrendanM> it didn't automount
[06:27] <agliv5> nothlit seeing as how I really messed up 6.06, I would like to get a clean install of 6.10 and perserve my /home data yes :)
[06:27] <bigcx2> oh
[06:27] <bigcx2> probably /dev/sda1
[06:27] <BrendanM> the file system is likely corrupted on the drive
[06:27] <BrendanM> it's not a flash drive
[06:27] <nox-Hand> Hey
[06:27] <drkm> how come I upload a file from console (e.g. using ftp) to my website but see the progress of it as FTP doesn't seem to show it ?
[06:27] <bigcx2> hm
[06:27] <BrendanM> it's actually a Dell Digital Jukebox. My friend dropped it and asked me to try to recover files off it
[06:27] <anAngel> Hello Beagle inst indexing any of the crawl files any help?
[06:27] <nothlit> agliv5: yes, then boot the livecd and gparted and follow the tutorial (remember pyschocats.net)
[06:27] <pbureau> CyberCod,  install : alsa-base , alsa-utils , gstreamer0-10-alsa , libasound2 , linux-sound-base
[06:28] <CyberCod> ok
[06:28] <LjL> cstextiles: oh, wait, it's not *as* down as it used to be these days, perhaps i can put it back online now, let me see
[06:28] <nox-Hand> Anyone know how to install ONLY XFCE, not all the applications?
[06:28] <Vigo> I am gonna try the partition swap drive, maybe it will work. ;-)
[06:28] <bigcx2> i'm not sure how to map address to devfs
[06:28] <Vigo> Thank you
[06:28] <bigcx2> addresses*
[06:28] <BrendanM> what does the " uhci_hcd and address 17" mean?
[06:28] <cstextiles> LjL,thanks
[06:28] <cstextiles> LjL, Are you putting it online now
[06:28] <cstextiles> ?
[06:29] <CyberCod> pbureau all of those are already installed
[06:29] <bigcx2> just the kernel's way of knowing where to access it
[06:29] <drkm> how come I upload a file from console (e.g. using ftp) to my website but see the progress of it as FTP doesn't seem to show it ?
[06:29] <anAngel> Hello Beagle inst indexing any of the crawl files any help?
[06:29] <agliv5> nothlit I've found pyschocats.net but I haven't found the tutorial you're talking about...
[06:29] <pbureau> CyberCod, really... humm.
[06:29] <CyberCod> are you sure of the spelling of alsaconf?
[06:29] <_Freedom0_> !seen eisen
[06:29] <LjL> cstextiles: i don't know, i have to see if i *can*. the web provider was down, and it's still not quite entirely worked... i don't seem to be able to upload yet
[06:29] <ubotu> I last saw eisen<EMAIL_ADDRESS>3h 14m 21s ago, quiting: Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)
[06:29] <BrendanM> Ok, so if the kernel knows how to access it, how do I figure out how to get at it?

[06:30] <cstextiles> LjL, can you make that site permanent ?
[06:31] <LjL> cstextiles, can you hear me? the web provider IS DOWN! it would *be* permanent if it weren't :P
[06:31] <Humza> hi. my problem should be common. when trying to install ubuntu 6.10 from a desktop cd, the screen freezes after about 1min (and alt+f1 or alt+f4 doesn't work). what's wrong? thanks!

[06:34] <BrendanM> what about it ir2? It's a GUI to manage your wireless
[06:34] <ir2> brendam do you know how i can change my power for wireless card ?
[06:35] <BrendanM> what do you mean power?

[06:36] <Llais> ok, if noone knows why the installer isn't working can you at least direct me to someone who does?  I've triple checked the cd, the system is above minimun spec and yet I double click install, or try to run it from the system->administration menu and get nothing
[06:36] <tdn> Data_, recompile?
[06:36] <Humza> hi. my problem should be easy. when trying to install ubuntu 6.10 from a desktop cd, the screen freezes after about 1min (and alt+f1 or alt+f4 doesn't work). what's wrong? thanks!
[06:36] <nox-Hand> Anyone know how to install ONLY XFCE, not all the applications?
[06:36] <tdn> Data_, should I compile ALSA myself?
[06:37] <Data_> yes from sources
[06:37] <CyberCod> pbureau it has ppp configuration but when I set the device it says device not found
[06:37] <guaifi> hola
[06:37] <tdn> Data_, well... Why do I have to compile it myself? I have never needed to do that before.
[06:38] <newbie> help im trying to compile and it isnt working
[06:38] <Data_> it's just a suggestion tdn I had to do it for mine
[06:39] <CyberCod> it cannot autodetect it, and when I select one of the available choices, and try to activate it gives an error message
[06:39] <Llais> wow, so essentially what I'm getting out of all of this is that Ubuntu may not be the distro I'm looking for
[06:40] <cypherdelic> Llais, why not?
[06:41] <Llais> Well, if the folks at ubuntu can't get an installer to work right, or even start for that matter, why would I trust them to get the rest of the OS working properly?
[06:42] <erUSUL> Llais: have you tried the alternate cd?
[06:42] <Llais> the ONLY solution I've seen either here or the forums (now that they're back up anyway) for install doing nothing is Oh, go get the alternate CD
[06:42] <pbureau> CyberCod, look at the msg I sent you
[06:42] <pbureau> CyberCod, in private message
[06:42] <Llais> the bloody installer isn't even throwing an error
[06:43] <Llais> the laptop exceeds all the minimum specs required, and yet nothing
[06:43] <amonkey_> nick amonkey
[06:43] <robdeman> hi folks... what is a good PHP editor for Linux?
[06:44] <Llais> geez, I can't even get a frickin terminal to run off the PoS live cd
[06:44] <Azul> robdeman: vi
[06:44] <amonkey> anyone know how to get otr working with gaimbeta6?i was hoping for a deb cuz im havin trouble compiling it. a deb for beta5 would also prolly work.
[06:44] <segfault> Llais, why not take the advice u have gotten and get the alt install cd
[06:44] <Instabin> !grub
[06:44] <n2diy_> I'm new to IM, I just registered a Jabber account, is my IM address no<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:44] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[06:44] <Azul> yeah, it sucks that you can't run without x in the installer
[06:44] <variant> anyone set up raided usb disks?
[06:44] <robdeman> Azul: that vi joke is getting old now
[06:45] <cstextile1> LjL: thanks for the script
[06:45] <cstextile1> LjL: do you have the database?
[06:45] <Azul> robdeman: slackware is old too, but it works
[06:45] <bigz> Azul?
[06:45] <bigz> where do i know your nick from?
[06:45] <Llais> segfault: because if they advertise a minimum system spec, the frickin install should work on anything that meets or exceeds that spec.  It's not like I'm trying to run it on a sparc or a 286
[06:46] <segfault> Llais, im not going to argue with u about it, u have been given a solution and sounds like u havent even tried it
[06:46] <robdeman> Azul: yup. not to say that it's the best solution in 2007
[06:47] <ladykeiden> Llais: a laptop is a strange bird with lotsa fancy hardware. mfgr's are always doing their own thing and breaking what works for most stuff. My guess is that your lappy has a gpu config that the installer doesnt understand. the worst part is that i bet u are not able to access anything in the bios that may help you past this... another lappy mfgr trick.
[06:47] <ir2> crapppp
[06:47] <ir2> this laptop kinnda old
[06:47] <ir2> man
[06:47] <LjL> cstextile1: no, only on the server which i can't access... the database can be generated from the "Packages" lists in repositories by the script itself, though - except you still need the schema (but it should be guessable from the queries that the script does)
[06:47] <sp|urr> whats the best way to restrict the bandwidth on an interface on edgy?
[06:47] <Azul> bigz: i don't know
[06:47] <LjL> cstextile1: you can probably get those Packages list from my site, but then they're the same as the ones you find on archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[06:47] <Azul> bigz: i took it from a video game called final fantasy 7
[06:47] <sp|urr> that is. to limit the bandwidth to, for example 2Mbps while it can go up to 10Mbps
[06:48] <Llais> I'm currently downloading the alt-install, I was just kinda hoping there was some kind of trick or workaround so I don't have to wait another 3 hours for the image to come down
[06:48] <dauoalagio> hello, i get this error whenever i try to start ubuntu 6.10 http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=2nq5bw6
[06:48] <BigMonkey_> Trying to delete a CalDAV calendar in the Calendar view in Evolution, having no luck.  Am I in the right place to ask about this?
[06:49] <ladykeiden> Llais: it does bite. what kinda lappy is it?
[06:49] <Azul> yeah, it sucks to have a separate text install cd
[06:49] <erUSUL> Llais: have you come here to do something about your problem or only to complain? if it is the former try launching the instaler from a terminal and see if it spits some error
[06:49] <Azul> i don't think it's that hard to have both on one
[06:49] <fatbrain> Hello, anyone that has gotten LVM to work with 6.10? (2.6.17-10 krnel)
[06:49] <ladykeiden> have u done any research on potential problems and solution with linux on that lappy?
[06:50] <bigz> Azul: maybe another server..
[06:50] <newbie> llais it took me 39 hours
[06:50] <Azul> bigz: it could be anywhere.. it's packed in here
[06:51] <priboy_> haha
[06:51] <iMag> Anyone might know why line in wouldn't be working? volume setting is up. works fine within windows
[06:51] <Llais> ladykeiden: It's a toshiba Satellite A40.  erUSUL: I can't get a terminal to work.  And I just said I'm downloading the alt-install.  I've been at this for a day and a half already, and I was going to attempt to use ubuntu to pitch linux to the company I'm the net admin for.  I had attempted to hook them with gentoo (the distro I'm familiar with) but they said it was too complex.  So Ubuntu is supposed to be the easiest to set up and use
[06:52] <Llais> I've got a set of the LTS disks coming in the mail, so hopefully I can use them to demonstrate the ease of install, but for now I'll use the alt-install disks to get a demo up and running

[07:06] <Shaffox> what's the best program to burn the iso file ? you recommend something?
[07:06] <Azul> burning iso files isn't a big issue
[07:06] <Humza> hello. trying to install ubuntu 6.10 with the desktop cd. about 1min after pressing "start or install ubuntu" the screen freezes and nothing works. what's wrong? thanks.
[07:07] <Azul> it's burning audio cds that i find difficult
[07:07] <Azul> i use gnome baker
[07:07] <Azul> Humza: just get the alternate install cd
[07:07] <derxob> I use K3b for iso, dvd, audio - works fine for me
[07:07] <Azul> the desktop install is so not good
[07:07] <kb3> pity mepis has such a small comunity it's really the best distro ever 1 whit ubuntu
[07:07] <Humza> Azul: to install with the command line?
[07:07] <Llais> Humza: there appears to be some sort of issue with the graphical installer on some systems, use the alternate CD, some of us are going to attempt to track down the issue
[07:08] <Azul> you can use k3b if you're not allergic to k stuff
[07:08] <Azul> Humza: yes
[07:08] <Humza> ok
[07:08] <Humza> thanks
[07:08] <jcz`> kb3, wats so good about mepis anyway?

[07:24] <Enselic`> Yancho: look for Clock under Accesories
[07:24] <Yancho> it was in my taskbar but mistakenly i removed it
[07:24] <Yancho> ok lemme check

[07:30] <teitunge> _tarzan_: no, its called speedstep-technology :P your cpu is running in different levels, which depends on cpu load - in that way you save power :)
[07:30] <Instabi1> grub sees  hdba1 as hd1,1 correct?
[07:30] <yellowdart> sivik, cool.. he said ndiswrapper didnt work so i sent a link for how to do it using bcm43xx-fwcutter
[07:30] <Pici> Azul: Thats not really constructive advice
[07:30] <Azul> hdba1?
[07:30] <Instabi1> hdb1
[07:31] <Instabi1> ubuntu root is on hdb1
[07:31] <Instabi1> windows is on hda1
[07:31] <Instabi1> swap is hdb5
[07:31] <sivik> yellowdar: thats what i'm walking him through
[07:31] <Llais> Instabi1 you are correct, hdb1 is hd1,1
[07:32] <Azul> there is a command from within grub that'll tell you that, i can't remember what it was
[07:32] <Instabi1> could i see the contents of some ones /boot/grub/menu.lst so i can correct my file
[07:32] <NaPsTeR> does anyone here use bluelink?
[07:32] <dauoalagio> bcm43xx-cutter never worked for me, sivik.  what wireless card do you have
[07:32] <agliv5> is it posible to start samba from a livecd to share files on my harddrive?
[07:32] <sivik> 4318
[07:32] <Enselic`> agliv5: should be
[07:32] <dauoalagio> sivik, i have a 4311 and it was a ***** to get going
[07:32] <yellowdart> sivik, ok.. if you're having trouble modprobing just make sure to take bcm43xx off the blacklist.. (since the ndiswrapper needed it on the blacklist)
[07:32] <dauoalagio> but ndiswrapper is how it worked
[07:32] <Enselic`> agliv5: never tried, but I see no reason why it should not work
[07:33] <sivik> yellowdart: ndiswrapper has never worked for me either, but the firmware works for me
[07:33] <agliv5> I think it should...

[07:51] <paitart> how do i easily upgrade from dapper to edgy? is it ok to do that?
[07:52] <Pici> !upgrade | paitart
[07:52] <apokryphos> paitart: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic

[07:52] <ryanakca> where can I get a .img (or some other form of image) for a boot floppy to boot the server install cd?
[07:52] <baegle__> If I complile my own 2.6.18 kernel, then would I also need to compile my own e1000 and ati modules?
[07:54] <Pici> ryanakca: I believe, not 100% sure because I havent looked, that the a boot floppy image might be on the cd itself
[07:54] <MojoWork> hmph. aptitude really is better than plain apt
[07:54] <ryanakca> Pici: kk, thanks :)
[07:54] <MojoWork> at least at solving depenency problems and such
[07:54] <Crescendo> MojoWork, I often run aptitude when necessary.  Maybe occasionally on maintenance
[07:54] <Pici> ryanakca: at least thats what other distros do, I havent had to look on the ubuntu cd
[07:54] <MojoWork> apt-get dist-upgrade was leaving 32 packages held back. aptitude -R was able to figure out what to do
[07:55] <Lionheart> Does anyone know where win applications are installed to on WINE?
[07:55] <MojoWork> Lionheart: depends on your config, but usually into .c_drive or some such
[07:55] <MojoWork> Lionheart: in your home dir
[07:55] <tdn> I get this error when trying to install flashplugin-nonfree: http://thomasdamgaard.dk/p/?paste=359

[07:56] <Lionheart> where would that be located? in the root dir?
[07:56] <Lionheart> yeah sorry :P
[07:56] <MojoWork> in your home dir
[07:56] <njero> hi all what is the syntax for a symlink?
[07:56] <MojoWork> Lionheart: check your wine config file
[07:57] <MojoWork> ~/.wine/config

[07:59] <stephans> is there a tool like sax in ubuntu?
[08:00] <stephans> to configure dual head xorg?
[08:00] <stephans>  I want to configure X-Windows...
[08:00] <anonymeeee> any advice on burning dvd's?
[08:00] <stephans> dpkg-reconfigure is too basic
[08:00] <darkempress> how do i find out what driver i need to get the kernel to load for a cdrw? i just replaced the ide cable on a cdrw and it's still not even saying it's even there...
[08:00] <stephans> There is no way to configure Xwindows is there... ? only to hack the config file?
[08:00] <MojoWork> odd...i don't see a -686 package for 2.6.17-10
[08:00] <stephans> How can I say extend my desktop on to screen?
[08:01] <darkempress> anonymeeee, doing it in a microwave is pretty to watch, but you'll probably ruin the microwave >.>
[08:01] <stephans> You just cant do that in Ubuntu can you?
[08:01] <Pici> stephans: have you looked at xinerama
[08:01] <dyrne>  !generic
[08:01] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[08:01] <Asc> stephans: I've not heard of any tool like that for Ubuntu.  There's plenty of guides for editing the config file though.
[08:01] <IcemanV9> MojoWork: -generic does have it; it automatically use -386 or -686 depends on your CPU
[08:01] <stephans> Pici that library is installed...
[08:01] <MojoWork> IcemanV9: ah
[08:01] <MojoWork> welp, wish me luck
[08:01] <Asc> stephans: Heh, except maybe xinerama, which I didn't try because it doesn't do what I wanted it to. :p
[08:02] <MojoWork> with fingers crossed
[08:02] <stephans> Asc, Pici hmmm....
[08:02] <Pici> !xinerama | stephans have you looked at this guide:
[08:02] <ubotu> stephans have you looked at this guide:: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead

[08:04] <some-beast-from-> hey everybody
[08:04] <Asc> g'day
[08:05] <Pici> !hi
[08:05] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:05] <some-beast-from-> so....talking about support
[08:05] <aleksanteri> please? how to make the panels respond again?
[08:05] <PPP111> hi
[08:05] <Lionheart> Hmmm. I can go to WINE via the Terminal but I can't see it in the File Browser. What's that all about?
[08:05] <Lionheart> I'm in the correct dir too
[08:05] <some-beast-from-> what panels is aleksanteri talking about?
[08:05] <PPP111> i've just burned ubuntu iso file
[08:05] <aleksanteri> the taskbar
[08:05] <PPP111> and booted from it
[08:05] <exwhyzed> My integrated wireless card was not installed when I initially installed, so I downloaded and installed linux-restricted-modeules and madwifi-tools from synaptic package manger, but the card is still not recognized. Any ideas?
[08:06] <some-beast-from-> hummm...you can restart the whole graphics by pressing strg-alt and backspace together
[08:06] <aleksanteri> i have tried restarting X
[08:06] <some-beast-from-> aleksanteri: but your data will be lost
[08:06] <jaycie> im trying to find out if ubuntu has ftp client GUI in it if someone can help me.. thanks
[08:06] <some-beast-from-> aleksanteri: oh...allright.
[08:06] <PPP111> then i clicked start or install ubuntu, then i get the ubuntu logo, and now just a black screen with a underscore in my left top corner, and it won't change :s is this normal ?
[08:07] <shatrat> jaycie, well, most web browsers can connect to FTP servers.
[08:07] <darkempress> ok, just hooked in new cdrw, how do i get ubuntu to recognise it?
[08:07] <IcemanV9> aleksanteri: in terminal, type killall gnome-panel
[08:07] <aleksanteri> tried
[08:07] <some-beast-from-> PPP111: this can happen, if you run into problems, yes
[08:07] <PPP111> so i just have to wait very long ?
[08:08] <IcemanV9> aleksanteri: so it is still not responding?
[08:08] <some-beast-from-> PPP111: how long did you wait?
[08:08] <aleksanteri> IcemanV9: nope
[08:08] <PPP111> 15 minutes or so
[08:08] <Asc> PPP111: it sounds like X died.
[08:08] <some-beast-from-> PPP111: thats far enough.
[08:08] <PPP111> wwhat do do now ?
[08:08] <some-beast-from-> PPP111: Like Asc said: it seems to have to do with your graphical user interface
[08:09] <jaycie> shackok im trying to move my files from my existing host to my ubuntu computer and someone said that mite be how
[08:09] <some-beast-from-> PPP1: have you tried selecting the save mode?
[08:09] <Asc> PPP111: It won't help much, but there's terminals under control-alt-F1-F6.  You could do 'sudo gdm' in one of those to restart the display....
[08:09] <IcemanV9> aleksanteri: looks like ctrl+alt+backspace is the option; be sure to save data 1st
[08:09] <aleksanteri> IcemanV9: tried :P
[08:10] <Asc> Y'know, I don't think PPP111 is the only one that's been having such trouble with the livecd installer
[08:10] <PPP111> oh! i can type !
[08:10] <PPP111> but what to type :s
[08:10] <IcemanV9> aleksanteri: :(
[08:10] <aleksanteri> great :|
[08:10] <some-beast-from-> Asc: you're damn right
[08:10] <aleksanteri> i'll try rebooting X once more
[08:11] <Asc> PPP111:
[08:11] <Asc> 'sudo gdm' is a good option
[08:11] <savagefluff> i shared a folder in ubuntu..and i want to be able to open it in my windows .. i see the ubuntu laptop but i am not able to open it cause it asks for a user and password. I type my ubuntu login name and password and it doesnt let me in.. can someone tell me what i am doing wrong
[08:11] <PPP111> wtf, my keyboard changed to qwerty
[08:12] <Asc> PPP111: Yeah, probably.  Should be configurable under system->preferences
[08:12] <some-beast-from-> PPP111: thats normal until you choose somethin else
[08:12] <PPP111> i don't get it :s
[08:12] <Asc> Um, with the livecd, are the contents of the squashfs file identical to the contents of a default install?
[08:12] <dyrne>  savagefluff smbpasswd
[08:12] <PPP111> i don't know
[08:13] <cstextile1> Is there any web utility by which i can get all the dependency files list which i can download if i want to download any package?
[08:13] <Asc> If they are, we could work out a way to install from a livecd when this happens
[08:13] <savagefluff> smbpasswd.. ok. i have not set that cause i have not seen it.. where would i look for that
[08:13] <PPP111> i just downloaded the .iso file from the site, burned it to cd, booted from cd, pressed 'start or install ubuntu', i got a loadingscreen with ubuntulogo, and now a whole black screen
[08:13] <shatrat> PPP111, try starting with safe graphics settings
[08:14] <PPP111> ok, i'll reboot
[08:14] <evian> Everytime I want to save a doc in Ubuntu, I get the save panel but I have to click "browse for other folders" before I can start navigating to the folder I want. Is there a way to have the full panel just show up in the first place?
[08:14] <aalhamad> hi all .. when i open a image on gimp and i wan to do a color gradient it doesn;t allow me.. how can i fix it ? plz help
[08:14] <cypherdelic> can somebody help me setting up my ipw3945 intel WLAN adapter?
[08:14] <Asc> PPP111: I usually recommend using the 'alternate' install CD because this sort of thing doesn't go wrong.
[08:15] <Lattyware> I have a problem with panels. A panel with a draw on doesn't work when switched from one monitor to the other, the draw opens on the far right side of the origonal monitor, instead of above.
[08:15] <MojoWork> ahhhh
[08:15] <Ralith> hey, I have Flash 9 installed, and when I try to view some flash stuff in firefox I get "movie not loaded" in the right click menu, and an emtpy white box instead of the flash app
[08:15] <Lattyware> Anyone have a solution?
[08:15] <MojoWork> unfortunately chbg appears to be hosed
[08:15] <some-beast-from-> evian: this is the default behaviour and I don't know a solution on this yet
[08:15] <dyrne> savagefluff: i dont know samba really but there is a smbpasswd command im assuming its similar to setting a password for say vnc. youd run it from terminal to set a password
[08:15] <cypherdelic> can somebody help me setting up my ipw3945 intel WLAN adapter? please i cant get my wlanadapter working.
[08:16] <some-beast-from-> Ralith: how did you install flash9?
[08:17] <evian> some-beast-from-: ok thanks for responding anyways
[08:17] <some-beast-from-> evian: I'm just googling around.
[08:17] <IcemanV9> sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[08:17] <preaction> dyrne: it's more similar to setting a normal system password, read `man smbpasswd`
[08:17] <some-beast-from-> evian: there could be a way....
[08:18] <Pici> cypherdelic: What seems to be the issue?
[08:18] <cypherdelic> Pici, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3858/
[08:18] <Ralith> some-beast-from-, with apt-get.
[08:18] <evian> some-beast-from-: there should be a way :) it gets a little annoying after 1000 times...
[08:18] <chalewa4bambu> is there an extra package that i have to install to get the fglrx driver to work on edgy?
[08:18] <grndslm> why would cat /proc/cpuinfo say that my cpu is 1250MHz when I know it should be more than that????
[08:19] <Pici> cypherdelic: Are you running edgy or dapper?
[08:19] <aleksanteri> Got new info ::)
[08:19] <aleksanteri> First of all... it is a crash that happens when starting up GNOME
[08:19] <some-beast-from-> ralith: did you restart firefox?
[08:19] <PMantis> Anyone know how to get `stat filename` to give me how long ago (in seconds or minutes) a file was modified, not the timestanp?
[08:20] <some-beast-from-> evian: you can always use KDE - it behaves more like windows
[08:20] <cypherdelic> Pici, edgy amd64. wlan worked, on this system, but i tried to compile newest ieee
[08:20] <aleksanteri> then I believe it's got something to do with that broken beryl i just uninstalled. When I uninstalled beryl, the panels don't show up at all...
[08:20] <cypherdelic> Pici, now no wlan working anmore
[08:20] <teckfatt> hello, anyone know how or what is the command to check the alsa driver version ? thankyou
[08:21] <yellowdart> does anybody know how to make my wireless card show up as wlan0 rather than eth1
[08:21] <grndslm> why would cat /proc/cpuinfo say that my cpu is 1250MHz when I know it should be more than that????
[08:21] <aleksanteri> Also any programs can't be shown after i uninstalled beryl... :|
[08:21] <Ralith> some-beast-from-, several hundred times.
[08:21] <Ralith> some-beast-from-, it's been installed for months :P
[08:21] <aleksanteri> So now I'm on KDE and gonna reinstall gnome
[08:21] <Pici> cypherdelic: Are you running the 64bit kernel or generic?
[08:21] <some-beast-from-> ralith: hmpf
[08:22] <cypherdelic> Pici, how to find out??
[08:22] <PPP111> oke, i've just clicked the safe graphics settings
[08:22] <PPP111> well, i have 5 minutes ago
[08:22] <evian> some web page says I'd have to patch Gtk to get the save folder expanded by default, haha that's dumb
[08:22] <evian> maybe time to try Kubuntu ?
[08:23] <Pici> cypherdelic: uname -a
[08:23] <dyrne> yellowdart: sudo gedit /etc/iftab

[08:23] <ubuntu_> hello
[08:23] <some-beast-from-> evian: if you want to try something completly different - Kubuntu is fine
[08:23] <cypherdelic> Pici, is that 64bit or generic?

[08:23] <evian> ok I will try Kubuntu for Kicks :)

So if I could get some help, I need to figure out how to get it uninstalled and everything so i can stick the correct version o

[08:31] <Richardson183> hey anybody out there that can come up with a solution to Dynre's problem?
[08:31] <NaPsTeR> does any1 use bluelink?
[08:32] <Pici> cypherdelic: I dont have those instructions anymore, but you could try doing sudo / | grep iee80211 and move (or copy) the files that match your error into the directory that the error specifies, thats what I had to do back when ubuntu didnt offer ipw2200 drivers
[08:32] <Ralith> dignomad, but if you want to get the 64bit one, just back up all your data, burn a 64 bit disk, and reinstall with it. Let it wipe the whole hdd and you'll be good
[08:32] <MojoWork> dignomad: got anything on there you need to save?
[08:32] <dignomad> Ok, so just wiping the drive would be fine?  Does that do anything nasty to the GRUB bootloader or whatever?
[08:32] <ladykeiden>  what tool do i use to setup my video card when it isn't configured properly?
[08:32] <dignomad> No, nothing really I need to save.
[08:32] <Richardson183> hey anybody out there that can come up with a solution to Dynre's problem?
[08:32] <MojoWork> dignomad: if not just boot from the right install cd and repartition
[08:33] <Ralith> dignomad, a new install will set up a new grub too, so it doesn't really matter
[08:33] <IcemanV9> Richardson183: dyrne does not have a problem .. you said that you're bored, so therefore dyrne just gave you a "job" to port utorrent for linux :)
[08:33] <dignomad> Ok, thanks!  That's all I needed to know.  :)
[08:33] <cypherdelic> Pici:  sudo / | grep iee80211
[08:33] <aleksanteri> btw what's the name of the gnome package to "get it all?"
[08:33] <Richardson183> icemanv9:> sorry just being at school can bore me to death
[08:34] <cypherdelic> Pici: bash: /: is a directory
[08:34] <Ralith> dignomad, keep in mind that a 64 bit system won't have /quite/ as many compatible apps
[08:34] <Richardson183> icemanv9:> uhhhh.....
[08:34] <eXistenZ> How can I reload the /etc/fstab file?
[08:34] <Ralith> eXistenZ, reload?
[08:34] <aleksanteri> gnome-desktop-enviroment doesn't seem to work :|
[08:34] <eXistenZ> Ralith, I changed something in the file.
[08:34] <Richardson183> icemanv9:> can't code, can't really do anything until i get home
[08:34] <Ralith> eXistenZ, what did you change?
[08:34] <Random_Transit> hey, does anyone know of any way to get avant to work without needing XGL?
[08:34] <IcemanV9> aleksanteri: ubuntu-desktop
[08:34] <Richardson183> icemanv9:> boring!
[08:34] <Pici> cypherdelic: sorry, I meant sudo find / | grep ieee80211
[08:34] <grndslm> would you recommend recompiling the 2.6.17 source or downloading the source from kernel.org?  and it wouldn't be a good idea to use 2.6.19, right??
[08:34] <aleksanteri> ok
[08:34] <eXistenZ> Ralith, I added an entry
[08:34] <eXistenZ> a mountpoint
[08:35] <Random_Transit> !avant
[08:35] <Ralith> eXistenZ, mount it manually, or reboot, depending on how lazy you are.
[08:35] <aleksanteri> it can't find "gnome-desktop"
[08:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about avant - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:35] <IcemanV9> aleksanteri: ubuntu not gnome :)
[08:35] <Ralith> grndslm, I'd recommend sticking with the packaged kernels distributed by ubuntu :P
[08:35] <aleksanteri> oh :P
[08:36] <Richardson183> i got a question, do anybody out there use "alltray" for Ubuntu/Kubunut Linux?
[08:36] <Richardson183> can't spell sorry
[08:36] <Richardson183> anyone?
[08:37] <tzbishop> Hey guys. I don't like  to cause mess or flames....but speaking about perfomance which WM is faster? GNOME or KDE?
[08:37] <Richardson183> i got a question, do anybody out there use "alltray" for Ubuntu/Kubunut Linux?

[08:39] <ismail> hi all quick question
[08:39] <IcemanV9> tzbishop: don't like it? cuz it is too fast? ;)
[08:39] <Ralith> tzbishop, I haven't used KDE recently enough, but my instinct is that gnome is faster
[08:39] <eXistenZ> How can I replace the letter under the cursor in the terminal
[08:39] <aleksanteri> >_< when i try to install ubuntu-desktop, it needs "xorg". when i try to install "xorg", it needs "libgl1-mesa-glx". when i install "libgl1-mesa-glx", xorg needs "libgl1-mesa-dir"
[08:39] <Ralith> either way it'll be a marginal difference
[08:39] <ismail> for an intel core 2 duo quad.. do u download the 64bit version of ubuntu?
[08:39] <tzbishop> IcemanV9:  :P. no, i don't like ir, I have the choice on open world, haven't I?  In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.0.1-4build1 (edgy), package size 93 kB, installed size 284 kB

[08:41] <tzbishop> ahahahha. I know what is twm...something horrible packaged with x.org and xfree86. hahaha
[08:42] <tzbishop> Ralith: do u use twm?
[08:42] <Ralith> tzbishop, do I look insane? :P
[08:42] <NaPsTeR> come on some one must be using bluelink
[08:42] <mnoir> Question for a DHCP guru - after obtaining it's address , one of my systems is available by name in the local network.  But my other two are not - only by leased IP address.  Where is this behavior controlled?

[08:42] <cypherdelic> Pici: I cant find any of those files, ieee80211 source is installed
[08:43] <LogicalDash> I launch them manually, but not when I put them in as startup applications. Help?
[08:43] <Hacim07> I can rm it another way?

[08:43] <Pici> cypherdelic: did you ever compile the ieee80211 source?
[08:43] <Iceman> I need help getting this line of code working: sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/NVIDIA-Settings.desktop
[08:43] <cypherdelic> Pici: yes i tried, didnt work
[08:43] <aleksanteri> what to do? :|
[08:43] <neftune> Iceman, use gksudo
[08:44] <wolfwalker> Oh well
[08:44] <Ralith> wolfwalker, should be able to. If it ooesn't autoconfigure, it should be easy enough to set up manually
[08:44] <wolfwalker> !HP
[08:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about HP - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:44] <Iceman> instead of sudo, use gksudo?
[08:44] <neftune> yes
[08:44] <Iceman> kk, ill try
[08:44] <mnoir> Iceman: how is it not working?
[08:44] <wolfwalker> What do you do to set it up manually?
[08:44] <tzbishop> Ralith: I am using slack11 + kde. but i'm tired enough of this simple and ilogic thing (kernel 2.4 default? c'mon, 02 feb 2007, my dear!).  I have already used Kubuntu some few times. Maybe it's time to try somethin' new, like GNOME or even KDE but with a decent system
[08:45] <cypherdelic> Pici: any clue
[08:45] <Iceman> it says "cannot open display: run 'geedit --help" blah blah blah
[08:45] <Iceman> and gksudo isnt working either
[08:45] <Ralith> tzbishop, it's really a matter of personal prefrence, whether you use kde or gnome
[08:45] <CheshireViking> is there an ftp appliciation similar to Cute FTP?
[08:45] <Zaggynl> gftp
[08:45] <Cyrus25801> hey anyone played duke 3D on ubuntu. if so where do i get it and how do i install it.
[08:45] <Zaggynl> Cyrus25801, YES!
[08:45] <wolfwalker> |Ralith:| is one busy dude!
[08:46] <Zaggynl> Cyrus25801, lemme find you the tutorial I used
[08:46] <mnoir> Iceman: you should always use a graphic sudo for graphic programs but i do not thing that is your problem
[08:46] <zylche> Zaggynl: "Gruesome" ftp? :P
[08:46] <tzbishop> Ralith: Yes. I am just afraid some programs I use don't work on GNOME, like Amarok and k3b
[08:46] <Zaggynl> zylche, no, an actually pretty nice ftp client
[08:46] <mnoir> Iceman: what happens igf you just gedit aaaa
[08:46] <mnoir> igf=if
[08:46] <wolfwalker> |tzbishop:| k3b works fine on GNOME
[08:46] <Iceman> gedit what?
[08:46] <wolfwalker> I know because that's the first thing I got
[08:46] <wolfwalker> Love it!
[08:46] <Heroin> How do i unpack a .zip with the tar command/
[08:46] <CheshireViking> thanks
[08:47] <mnoir> Iceman: an arbitrary filename
[08:47] <Pici> cypherdelic: Sorry, I'm not sure what to do in this case
[08:47] <tzbishop> wolfwalker: I like k3b too, in fact I love KDE. But, for me, everytime is time to try something new
[08:47] <Zaggynl> Cyrus25801, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1088752&postcount=11
[08:47] <Iceman> im slightly new to this, give me a filename and ill try it and tell u the results

[08:47] <Cyrus25801> Zaggynl" thanx. what other cool 3d games can one play on linux
[08:47] <aalhamad> plz.. what is windowz developing server for application?
[08:47] <mnoir> Iceman: fimename = aaaa
[08:48] <wolfwalker> |tzbishop:| KDE sucks eggs. It feels just like what it is, a hasty graphic overlay that wasn't done right.
[08:48] <Zaggynl> Cyrus25801, Quake (all versions), Cube
[08:48] <spartako> 5
[08:48] <ladykeiden> what do i use to reconfigure the xserver when i replace my vid card? i know it'll break. whats the least painful way to fix it?
[08:48] <wolfwalker> |tzbishop:| Just get GNOME and load the programs you want after that
[08:48] <Heroin> How do i unpack a .zip with the tar command/
[08:48] <Zaggynl> Cyrus25801, half life 1 and 2 work pretty well with wine as well
[08:48] <ladykeiden> the new vid is intel 950 integrated gpu
[08:48] <Cyrus25801> Zaggynl: where do i get quake 3
[08:48] <Iceman> if i type in "aaaa", it says the same thing, "cannot open display: Run 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options"
[08:48] <wolfwalker> ........... Mind you, this is only one man's opinion.........
[08:48] <aalhamad> plz   anybody know .. what is windowz developing server for applications?
[08:49] <beoba> why would we know?
[08:49] <Zaggynl> Cyrus25801, not sot sure, I haven't tried it, but do a google for open arena, it's completely free
[08:49] <tzbishop> wolfwalker: It'll be hard to get used to some new programs, because on KDE I use kopete, konversation, amarok, k3b, konqueror, konsole, gwenview....But maybe I like gnome.
[08:49] <aalhamad> beoba, are talking to me?
[08:49] <kitche> ladykeiden: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:49] <evian> I would like to play some H.264 encoded videos from Apple's example page: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/   ... is there a way to do this in Ubuntu?
[08:49] <mnoir> Iceman: ok - so your problem is more fundamental - are you running it from normal terminal window?
[08:49] <Cyrus25801> Zaggynl: thanx
[08:50] <Zaggynl> Cyrus25801, You're welcome!
[08:50] <Iceman> running it from kernel 2.6.17-10-386 recovery

[08:50] <mnoir> oh - I see
[08:50] <fatbrain> When running lvcreate I get this error,"lvcreate: relocation error: lvcreate: symbol _dm_tree_add_new_dev_mode, version Base not defined in file libdevmapper.so.1.02 with link time reference" any dieas on how to resovel this matter?
[08:50] <mnoir> Iceman: i dunno if X is available in recovery mode
[08:50] <Iceman> i cant get into ubuntu cause im using GeForce GO 6150 graphics, hence the reason im trying to get em to work in terminal
[08:50] <wolfwalker> You'll find a replacement for all those. You can find those, actually, and install them in GNOME, but there are better programs to do most of the things you want to do.
[08:51] <mnoir> Iceman: pls join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[08:51] <GNUtoo> hello how do i connect to a wifi in command line
[08:51] <kale> GNUtoo: use iwconfig
[08:51] <axa-axa> Hi. Can I benefit in sense of speed, if I use Beryl window manager with Gnome?
[08:51] <ladykeiden> kitche: that is it?! that one cmd?
[08:52] <GNUtoo> is there something to do after iwconfig ra0 essid "wrt54gs" ?
[08:52] <kitche> ladykeiden: yes it will help you reconfigure your Xorg install
[08:52] <kale> axa-axa: not really
[08:52] <wolfwalker> So how do you set up a printer manually if Ubuntu doesn't autoconfig?
[08:52] <kale> GNUtoo: depends on your current settings
[08:52] <GNUtoo> no wep key
[08:52] <axa-axa> kale: but doesnt it use hardware acceleration
[08:52] <ferret_0568> I am using Gaim as my IRC Client and I put in nick "ferret_0567" and when I connect to FreeNode with it freenode-connect says: freenode-connect: Received CTCP 'VERSION' (to ferret_0568) from freenode-connect

[08:53] <aalhamad> How can i add aplication in the keyboard shortcut (eg . Nautilus)
[08:53] <axa-axa> kale: So in what way it is "revolutionary" (like Avalon in Vista), except for makeup?
[08:53] <kale> NaPsTeR: kinda hard to help when you don't state a question?
[08:54] <ladykeiden> kitche: thats too easy.... in windows I gotte spin on my head 4.3 times and then reboot into OS2...
[08:54] <GNUtoo> kale:the problem is that after iwconifg ra0 essid "wrt54gs" it doesn'

[08:54] <GNUtoo> kale:the problem is that after iwconifg ra0 essid "wrt54gs" it doesn't autenticate
[08:54] <NaPsTeR> i did
[08:54] <pbureau> GNUtoo, does iwconfig show your nic?
[08:54] <GNUtoo> pbureau:yes
[08:54] <killaz> how's the wireless pro doing? ;-)
[08:54] <NaPsTeR> i need to set the permissions for a removable drive
[08:55] <ferret_0568> Does anybody know how to get MadWifi for Ubuntu 6.10?
[08:55] <kale> axa-axa: bad example, never head of vista or Avalon, but one of the ups is a new user interface and way of working with the desktop
[08:55] <kale> GNUtoo: authenticate what?
[08:55] <barleyman> I am setting up server 6.06 LTS with software raid 5 on 3 drives.  It is configured o.k. but the intitial sync seems like it will take days to complete.  Is this normal?  3 SATA 320GB drives
[08:55] <ladykeiden> so, anyone farmilur with the intel 950 gpu used on lappy's?
[08:55] <killaz> :-D
[08:55] <pbureau> GNUtoo, mind taking this private easier
[08:55] <ladykeiden> which drivers give the best performance?
[08:55] <Ralith> hey, cool. Everyone: http://www.retailmenot.com/view/shop.fon.com
[08:56] <axa-axa> kale: ok, but if there wont be any significant benefits in speed, will it be slower than Metacity?
[08:56] <kale> barleyman: then sync will take as long as writing all disks full
[08:56] <NaPsTeR> plz
[08:56] <Kud|> I just reinstalled Ubuntu and it is not recognizing my internet connection. I tried running "sudo pppoeconf" and it isn't recognzing it. Also tried running "pon dsl-provider" to no avail. Anyone have anymore suggestions?
[08:56] <ferret_0568> I have a D-Link DWL-G650 CardBus Wireless G card coming in the mail
[08:56] <kale> axa-axa: are we comparing a window manager with and X server now?
[08:56] <barleyman> kale, i,m sorry what does mean "write disks full"?
[08:56] <ferret_0568> If anybody can post directions, do that in private chat. Thanks
[08:56] <sanotehu> um... I am LogicalDash, but I can't seem to get to that nick because it hasn't recognized that that connection is over. Could someone kick LogicalDash so that I can log back in with that name, please?
[08:57] <axa-axa> kale: Sorry, but isnt the Beryl window manager like Metacity?
[08:57] <freezey> what does Omitting directory mean?
[08:57] <kale> barleyman: when it syncs it make the data on the 3 disks consistent
[08:57] <GNUtoo> kale: i don't have something like that in iwconfig: Access Point: 00:14:BF:E1:DA:DF
[08:57] <kitche> sanotehu: if it's registered just ghost it
[08:57] <kale> GNUtoo: iwlist <NIC> scan
[08:57] <kale> GNUtoo: is your AP there?
[08:57] <NaPsTeR> so u gonna help me out
[08:57] <barleyman> kale: so can that take days to complete?
[08:57] <sanotehu> kitche, what you mean "ghost it"?
[08:57] <NaPsTeR> i really need to do this
[08:57] <ferret_0568> I hope someone has enough time to help me with my Gaim IRC nick problem.
[08:58] <kale> barleyman: if the disk is large enough yes, but i'd say a couple of hours
[08:58] <kitche> sanotehu: ghost means /msg nickserv ghost <nick> <password> it kills it so you cna use it
[08:58] <kale> barleyman: "cat /proc/mdstat" will tell you
[08:58] <barleyman> kale: the disks are 320GB x three
[08:58] <ferret_0568> Xchat-GNOME made me mad because it would open the "Channels" list and then freeze sometimes.
[08:58] <kale> barleyman: mine 300 x 4 take about 5 hours to sync, but thats IDE
[08:58] <LogicalDash> kitche, thanks
[08:58] <krang> If I want to sync my clocks to an NTP server, I should just install the package ntp-simple, yes?
[08:58] <Kud|> I just reinstalled Ubuntu and it is not recognizing my internet connection. I tried running "sudo pppoeconf" and it isn't recognzing it. Also tried running "pon dsl-provider" to no avail. My connection is an ADLSPPPoE type if you couldn't guess already. Anyone have anymore suggestions? :(
[08:59] <axa-axa> kale: is Beryl windows manager like Metacity or something else?
[08:59] <ferret_0568> Infact, actually I would be lucky if it didn't freeze on me...
[08:59] <NaPsTeR> plz help me
[08:59] <Ralith> axa-axa, think vista, but cooler and doesn't need tons of resources
[08:59] <ferret_0568> True
[08:59] <LogicalDash> Can anyone help me guess why icons don't appear in the notification area for apps that launch on startup?
[08:59] <barleyman> kale: my brand new SATA drives have taken more than 24 hours, something must be wrong
[08:59] <kale> axa-axa: your are asking something like "which is best, a Ford or a car?"
[08:59] <ferret_0568> I like Linux
[08:59] <kale> barleyman: is DMA enabled for those disks?
[09:00] <pbureau> GNUtoo,  you there ?
[09:00] <ferret_0568> Beryl is awesome
[09:00] <barleyman> uh, that is probably my problem, ... what is DMA?
[09:00] <IcemanV9> krang: ntpdate is already installed; use ntpdate <time server>
[09:00] <GNUtoo> pbureau:year my pc was slow...i rebooted
[09:00] <ferret_0568> I have tried it. BTW, what is my nick now?
[09:00] <kale> afk
[09:00] <Kud|> anyone??
[09:00] <NaPsTeR> help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[09:00] <NaPsTeR> im dying
[09:00] <krang> Iceman: I want it to sync constantly, and I gather I need something more running for that
[09:00] <axa-axa> kale: kale if Beryl is window manager and Metacity is window manager also, I'm asking which one will be _faster_ with Gnome?
[09:00] <ferret_0568> All Gaim shows is "Travis" for every one of my messages
[09:00] <krang> IcemanV9: I want it to sync constantly, and I gather I need something more running for that
[09:01] <IcemanV9> krang: crontab can do that
[09:01] <axa-axa> Ralith: I'm really only interested in that will it be faster than Metacity with Gnome?
[09:01] <Ralith> axa-axa, uh, no, adding high end fancy 3D effects typically doesn't make things faster.
[09:01] <krang> IcemanV9: man ntpdate will tell you that is non-optimal
[09:01] <Kud|> :/
[09:02] <ferret_0568> It will be the same, depending on graphics card and effects enabled. Alternatively, it could be slower/much slower,
[09:02] <LogicalDash> What should I do to find out precisely what's happening when my startup programs launch?
[09:02] <Ralith> well, on any non-ancient system it should run perfectly smoothly
[09:02] <Ralith> my intel onboard graphics handle it fine
[09:02] <LogicalDash> Maybe they're giving some helpful error messages that I'm not seeing, I don't know.
[09:02] <Ralith> so long as I keep certaine ffects off
[09:03] <ferret_0568> Yeah, but I have a NVIDIA GeForce 4 440 Go with AGP 4x and 64 MB of RAM
[09:03] <IcemanV9> krang: crontab will be scheduled to run ntpdate command every 15 min or every hour or every 5 hours
[09:03] <ferret_0568> It does not run too good
[09:03] <axa-axa> Ralith: That is what I wanted to hear. Thanks. In that case I'll stick to Metacity, the reason I was asking that is because I misundersood the point of use of "hardware acceleration" in Beryl.
[09:03] <IcemanV9> !crontab
[09:03] <[ginge] > Hi all to create another "waste basket" launcher icon, what would the command be?
[09:03] <Ralith> ferret_0568, must be misconfigured; my intel has worse stats.
[09:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about crontab - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:04] <Ralith> axa-axa, heh. It uses it because it NEEDS to. Everything uses 2D acceleration, anyway.
[09:04] <ferret_0568> My nick should be ferret_0567...
[09:04] <krang> IcemanV9: from man ntpdate: "it is important to note that ntpdate with contrived cron scripts is no substitute for the NTP daemon"
[09:04] <LogicalDash> [ginge] , try ln -s trash:///
[09:04] <Kud|> I just reinstalled Ubuntu and it is not recognizing my internet connection. I tried running "sudo pppoeconf" and it isn't recognzing it. Also tried running "pon dsl-provider" to no avail. My connection is an ADLSPPPoE type if you couldn't guess already. It worked fine before I reinstalled so I'm not sure what the problem is. Anyone have anymore suggestions? :(
[09:04] <ferret_0568> I had the NVIDIA beta module in Fedora Core 6. "Beta" is slower code...
[09:04] <_Archangel> what is the package for nvidia video card drivers please ?
[09:04] <Hoosteen> ok peeps..got a question...i need to uninstall all ndiswrapper stuff...how do i go about doing that?
[09:05] <pbureau> !nvidia
[09:05] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:05] <dmchugh> Anyone had luck getting AT 9250 card runnin under 6.1 with 3d rendering?
[09:05] <kitche> _Archangel: nvidia-glx
[09:05] <dmchugh> ati*
[09:05] <Ralith> ferret_0568, hahaha, fedora
[09:05] <ferret_0568> Somebody at my LUG said NVIDIA had stable drivers with AIGLX in them
[09:05] <ferret_0568> Yeah, I didn't like Fedora
[09:05] <axa-axa> Ralith: That's what I said, my bad. In case I want to see for myself what is the fus about, and install it, do I need just to do 'sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager' and select Beryl to use it with Gnome?
[09:06] <eXistenZ> I wonder why companies don't port their softwares to linux.
[09:06] <kitche> ferret_0568: the nvidia drivers support what compiz and beryl needs to run correctly
[09:06] <exwhyzed> can anyone help me set up madwifi?
[09:06] <yellowdart> Hoosteen, sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils ndiswrapper-utils-1.1 ndiswrapper-utils-1.8
[09:06] <Egypteone> hello
[09:06] <dmchugh> Ferret_0568, I'm beggining to think the same...
[09:06] <IcemanV9> krang: uh (just read man ntpdate)
[09:06] <kale> barleyman: cat /proc/mdstat will tell you how far the sync is and how fast the progress is
[09:07] <krang> IcemanV9: yeah, I know. Nothing can be simple :-)
[09:07] <kale> exwhyzed: want to use native driver?
[09:07] <ferret_0568> Ubuntu would seem newbie-ish but it only comes on one CD
[09:07] <Hoosteen> yellowdart: thanks!
[09:07] <ferret_0568> Just install devel tools and there you go. I like Ubuntu
[09:08] <exwhyzed> kale: my card was not recognized when I installed so I'm downloaded/installed linux-restricted-modules and madwifi-tools but it still is not recognized
[09:08] <kale> exwhyzed: does it show up in lspci?
[09:08] <Ralith> axa-axa, no, you just need to add beryl-manager to your gnome session autostart programs.
[09:08] <IcemanV9> krang: well, it is doable; try this --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/keeping-your-system-clock-current-automatically-via-network-time-protocol-ntp.html
[09:08] <dmchugh> TRying Ati's drivers, but stuck on: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[09:08] <luis> ula
[09:09] <krang> IcemanV9: Oh yeah, doable'
[09:09] <Ralith> axa-axa, you, of course, need it installed
[09:09] <exwhyzed> kale:  it shows up as "Atheros Communications, Inc. Unknown device 001c"
[09:09] <krang> IcemanV9: But I want only the best for my boxes :-)
[09:09] <axa-axa> Ralith: That's all? And what about Metacity, will it be running while Beryl does?
[09:09] <kale> exwhyzed: same as mine
[09:09] <minerale> who manages Launchpad? there's a launchpad account~username I'd like to use but it's unavailable, it was used in the prior version: "This page was created on 2005-10-14 when the ulogd package was imported into Breezy."
[09:09] <IcemanV9> krang: well .. ^_^
[09:10] <exwhyzed> kale:  and your's worked with the native drivers?
[09:10] <Ralith> axa-axa, no, it won't.
[09:10] <Ralith> axa-axa, and yes, that's all
[09:10] <kale> exwhyzed: but i am sorry i cannot help on hardware specific issues as i do not run ubuntu...
[09:10] <Ralith> axa-axa, don't try it if you don't have accelerated 3D working
[09:10] <nozey> can someone take a look at this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=351860
[09:10] <ferret_0568> This got lost in the flood: (02:55:05 PM) Travis: Does anybody know how to get MadWifi for Ubuntu 6.10?
[09:10] <axa-axa> Ralith: Last question: Should I kill Metacity after I start Beryl?
[09:11] <Pici> axa-axa: beryl will take care of that for you
[09:11] <Pici> axa-axa: you can also fall back to metacity if beryl has issues
[09:11] <ferret_0568> It'll exit by itself. The window managers hand off windows to each other
[09:11] <mnoir> Question for a DHCP guru - after obtaining it's address , one of my systems is available by name in the local network.  But my other two are not - only by leased IP address.  Where is this behavior controlled?
[09:11] <Ralith> axa-axa, no, it takes care of that itself
[09:12] <kale> mnoir: probablyt the dhcp server reports the hostname to a dns server
[09:12] <axa-axa> Ok, then if it takes care of that and I need only to put it in autostart, I'll go to download it :)
[09:12] <axa-axa> Thanks for answers.
[09:12] <fox__> hello
[09:13] <ferret_0568> beryl-manager is the command you put in auto-start I believe
[09:13] <Ralith> axa-axa, beryl-manager, remember
[09:13] <Hoosteen> ok..anybody have any idea how to unmodprobe something?
[09:13] <Ralith> that way you get a neat tray icon with configuration settings
[09:13] <kitche> Hoosteen: sudo rmmod
[09:13] <axa-axa> Ralith: ? You mean I should download that?
[09:13] <mnoir> kale: agreed but the dns and dhcp svrs are mine on my firewall and this is working differently for different of my systems :(
[09:13] <dmchugh> wasnt there also a -r option on modprobe?
[09:13] <jcole> how can i make ubuntu use the ntfs-3g driver by default, when i plug in an ntfs drive?
[09:14] <Ralith> axa-axa, sudo apt-get install beryl-manager
[09:14] <Hoosteen> kitche: thanks :D
[09:14] <Ralith> axa-axa, and emerald-themes too
[09:14] <Ralith> sudo apt-get install beryl-manager emerald-themes
[09:14] <axa-axa> Ralith: Ok, thanks a lot Ralith
[09:14] <Ralith> then run beryl-manger on start
[09:14] <Ralith> np
[09:15] <godhell> ok i have kinda of a problem; Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
[09:15] <godhell> Im dual booting windows and ubuntu with 2 different harddrivers
[09:15] <jojoman02> anyone know of a way to write a text file from command line (without entering an editor gui/term)
[09:15] <Kud|> How do you get linux to recognize a ethernet card if pppoeconf isn't working?
[09:15] <SlicerDicer-> jojoman02: nano?
[09:15] <kitche> jojoman02: cat >> <file>
[09:15] <IcemanV9> jojoman02: nano
[09:15] <dmchugh> So no one got Xlib running properly with Ati drivers on 6.1 (got past the dash bash thin and have driver installed just the Xfree86-DRI missing)
[09:16] <shwag> how can I see who is logged into my machine via SFTP ? I can't see them with 'w' or 'who'
[09:16] <mnoir> jojoman02: echo 'yadda yadda' > file
[09:16] <pbureau> Kud|, type -> lspci  | grep ethernet does it find your card ?
[09:16] <godhell> Any1 know how to fix it?
[09:16] <jojoman02> kitche: thanks, mnoir, thanks :)
[09:17] <kitche> jojoman02: you also do cat > <file> << "EOF" then when you want to exit just type EOF and it should save it and close it
[09:17] <mnoir> jojoman02: cat is better for multi line, end with ctl-d
[09:17] <f4en> can someone help me sort out how to stop dhcp from changing my dns servers all the time?
[09:17] <jojoman02> mnoir, how bout from a script?
[09:17] <Kud|> pbureau: It didn't return anything besides a new command line
[09:17] <f4en> I think it is dhcp

[09:18] <cein> i have the right imengines installed, and i've got the scim trayicon loaded
[09:18] <randomtime> Hey guys, does anyone know hot to get USB support working for ubuntu. I've been using windows and only a few weeks ago installed ubuntu, but since then I havn't been able to use any of my USB devices on it.
[09:18] <mnoir> jojoman02: what kitche said
[09:18] <jojoman02> mnoir, it's not an assignment lol, i'm trying to create this script
[09:18] <variant> ahh, I ran out of diskspace on / so i did mv /usr/bin/ /home/bin and ln -s /home/bin /usr/bin. it seemes to have worked but most of the binaries did not move.. like firefox no longer exits! anyone know what might have gone wrong?
[09:18] <cein> but when i click on it i don't see any language choices
[09:18] <mnoir> jojoman02:
[09:18] <jojoman02> kitche, thanks:)
[09:18] <Kud|> pbureau: No, but it did return my onboard ethernet card strangely enough. Let me try that real quick.
[09:19] <mnoir> jojoman02: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[09:19] <shut-> what ubuntu use kde
[09:19] <shut-> or what?

[09:19] <kitche> shut-: gnome kubuntu is kde xubuntu is xfce
[09:19] <flammenwurfer> IS anybody running Ubuntu Ultimate 1.1?
[09:19] <shut-> ah

[09:20] <jcole> http://www.linuxgenuineadvantage.org/
[09:20] <cod1> now that i've installed beryl, my taskbar shows through any fullscreen apps i run, like games or mythtv

[09:21] <kitche> flammenwurfer: go here http://ubuntusoftware.info/ultimate/index.html and talk with them since it's not a ubuntu product
[09:21] <Kud|> pbureau: Any ideas?
[09:22] <godhell> when i try to boot into ubuntu I get error 17: Cannot mount selected partition.
[09:22] <pbureau> Kud|, well now you know it seees the ethernet card, but is there a driver loaded for it ? type lshw and look under *-network
[09:22] <xixor> howdy everybody

[09:23] <godhell> ubuntu is set as boot hdd
[09:24] <godhell> windows is secondary

[09:24] <godhell> =p
[09:24] <Kud|> wow this seems like it's just going to be fast reinstalling since no one seems to have any suggestions for my problem :/
[09:24] <zer0bit> i have too many newbie questions .. so please someone who is free pm me .. wouldnt want to disturb main channel with n00b questions
[09:25] <cod1> now that i've installed beryl, my taskbar shows through any fullscreen apps i run, like games or mythtv, anyone know hot to fix that?
[09:25] <kitche> godhell: no it just seems like your menu.lst is set incorrectly
[09:25] <fatbrain> godhell: just edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:25] <godhell> how do i do it from being in the grub menu?
[09:25] <IcemanV9> xixor: you'll love it :) (dapper on TP z60m owner)
[09:25] <Randomtime_> sorry my wireless lost connection, i was looking for a usb fix
[09:25] <kitche> godhell: press e at grub should take you to edit mode if not then you need to press esc then e
[09:25] <xixor> Iceman: I am hoping so, I have been a Debian user since about 1997, but have been hearing so many good things about ubuntu
[09:26] <riotkittie> Kud|: whats your prob?
[09:26] <godhell> kitche; now i've pressed e
[09:26] <jcole> variant: is there a repo for picasa? or is it already included?
[09:26] <Kud|> riotkittie: Ubuntu isn't recognizing my ethernet card no matter what I do; pppoeconf, pon ads-provider, etc
[09:26] <kitche> godhell ok go to the kernel line and see what root= says
[09:26] <riotkittie> zer0bit: your "n00b" questions are quite welcome, ask :P
[09:27] <variant> jcole: there is a .deb on googles picasa site. you can just download/run with default app to install it
[09:27] <harry__> what's the ubuntu version of a task manager? or a process list. i need to kill a firefox process, but there aren't any windows open
[09:27] <zer0bit> riotkittie .. ok.. thanks .. firstly as a windows user is it good idea to learn linux ?
[09:27] <riotkittie> Kud|: ah. :\
[09:27] <jcole> Kud|: lspci | grep Ethernet
[09:27] <Randomtime> i can't remember who I was talking too but someone was helping me with my usb???
[09:27] <jcole> variant: how do you know when there is an update?
[09:27] <godhell> kitche; says kernel /boot/vmlinuz.... and after abit of text it says root=/dev/sdb ro quiet splas (smoething)
[09:27] <Randomtime> !ubotu usb
[09:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:27] <Kud|> jcole: Tried that, grep is just bringing me up a new command line rather than returning anything
[09:27] <variant> jcole: no idea
[09:27] <cstextile1> Is python already included in the ubuntu-desktop?
[09:28] <Randomtime> !python
[09:28] <ubotu> python: An interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version). In component main, is important. Version 2.4.3-11ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 37 kB, installed size 208 kB
[09:28] <kitche> godhell: yes your root= is setup wrong should be /dev/sdb1 or 2 depending which partition is your / but I m guesisng it's probably 1
[09:28] <riotkittie> zer0bit: if you're curious and/or interested about learning linux, then yes, it is a good idea. if youre not, its not :P
[09:28] <jcole> Randomtime: what's up with your usb?
[09:28] <jcole> Randomtime: usb or a usb device?
[09:28] <godhell> kitche; doh forgott it says /dev/sdb1 ro quiet

[09:28] <zer0bit> riotkittie .. i had given a serious try to learn linux a few months back by installing mandrake linux .. ended up losing all my data and formatting my HD..
[09:29] <jcole> Randomtime: what exactly is the problem?
[09:29] <Randomtime> just dosn't work with ubuntu, worked with windows before i wiped
[09:29] <zer0bit> riotkittie so someone told me there is something called LIVE CD .. linux that runs from cd and doesnt touch hard drive s
[09:29] <riotkittie> and senile. apparently i am unable to remember sentences typed 3 minutes back
[09:29] <Kud|> riotkittie: hehe np bud, just annoying since it was working fine yesterday.
[09:29] <jcole> Randomtime: did you check dmesg?
[09:29] <zer0bit> riotkittie .. someone also said that ubuntu has that type of cd .. but it says nothing on your site about live cd
[09:29] <dmchugh> Godhell: But unix is secondary drive isnt it then sd2
[09:29] <Randomtime> jcole: I havn't a clue what that is

[09:30] <kitche> godhell: ok how about what does root( ) say
[09:30] <jcole> Randomtime: oh ok, so you don't know if it is a usb problem
[09:30] <Randomtime> I do
[09:30] <jcole> Randomtime: try this -> dmesg | grep usb
[09:30] <jojoman02> mnoir, thanks for everything especially the fhs02.3
[09:30] <riotkittie> zer0bit: wow, that is rough re: mandrake and data loss. yes, there are live CDs and yes , you can find them on the website. theyre  the default download.
[09:30] <dmchugh> godhell: sd1 then.. (sata drive)
[09:30] <godhell> kitche; root=/dev/sdb1 ro quiet splas........... *somthing*
[09:30] <Randomtime> sorry n00b
[09:31] <kitche> godhell: root () is what I want not root=
[09:31] <Randomtime> I don't know anything yet
[09:31] <haraldhv> what does it mean that the linux-image-amd64-k8 has been obsoleted by linux-image-generic? Does ubuntu simply not have special amd64-k8 kernels?
[09:31] <godhell> ah
[09:31] <ala> what would you guys recommend for feisty: compiz or beryl?
[09:31] <godhell> kitche; root (hd4,0)
[09:31] <zer0bit> riotkittie  .. i red the whole website .. it offers one download .. some .iso cd .. and says its installable .. it doesnt say its live cd .. if it wants to install anything on my HD i dont want it .. if its something that wont touch my HD i want it .. how to figure that out ?

[09:32] <kitche> godhell ok that looks wrong should be hd1,0 or sd1,0 depending how your bios sees the sata drives
[09:32] <Randomtime> I don't know how to do that, sorry
[09:32] <kitche> godhell: unless you have four drives in your computer of course
