[12:01] <holoton1> I am an experimental DJ at an FM radio station, and was looking for some good software that I could use to lay out the tracks for my show, do transitions between them, and play with a few effects here and there; Any suggestions?
[12:01] <paul0> here is the Second Life stdout: http://rafb.net/paste/results/94YHsx66.html
[12:01] <mwe> paul0: what driver is that?
[12:01] <paul0> mwe: i810
[12:02] <mwe> paul0: I know it's not perfect
[12:02] <TmWrk_Quil> holoton1: i've done what you are talking about and have some at home
[12:02] <mwe> paul0: pretty slow as well
[12:02] <paul0> mwe: Scorched 3D, and others run fine
[12:02] <holoton1> TmWrk_Quil: what would you reccomend for software?
[12:02] <pau> some one knows how to set up a 82801G (ICH7 family) high definition audio in ubuntu? capture funtion dosn't work
[12:02] <TmWrk_Quil> holoton1: it will allow you to manage all your tracks in databases
[12:02] <paul0> mwe: just SL doesn't start
[12:03] <TmWrk_Quil> holoton1: email me, i'll drop you a line when i get back to the house with the name of it, it's been about a year and a half
[12:03] <Warbo> please? I am, like, ON the computer which I should be installing Ubuntu on, I've tried 3 times now and my mate is beginning to think Linux isn't as good as I said it is
[12:03] <holoton1> TmWrk_Quil: Not so concerned about managing the tracks, what I'm looking for is software that will help me with transitions (fade in/out mixing, etc..) between tracks
[12:03] <mwe> paul0: it seems to me it's trying to use a feature that the driver does not support
[12:03] <pau> some one knows how to set up a 82801G (ICH7 family) high definition audio in ubuntu? capture funtion dosn't work
[12:03] <TmWrk_Quil> holoton1: yeah this does it
[12:03] <TmWrk_Quil> holoton1: and more
[12:03] <holoton1> TmWrk_Quil: What's the name?
[12:03] <Warbo> holoton1: Amarok can mix between tracks, but it usually screws up when I try to do it :(
[12:04] <TmWrk_Quil> holoton1: it works with icecast and shoutcast

[12:04] <paul0> mwe: i think this is the problem... but i can't figure out how to fix

[12:04] <pike__> Warbo: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php try this i think its a newer version than in ubuntu
[12:04] <mwe> paul0: you probably have to fix the driver. But that's a very hard task

[12:05] <Milenco> I can't seem to get GLX support for my Ati (9250) card while i did install the latest drivers (using apt-get). Same problem with both ati and radeon driver.
[12:05] <Milenco> Anyone any ideas?
[12:05] <pau> some one knows how to set up a 82801G (ICH7 family) high definition audio in ubuntu? capture funtion dosn't work
[12:05] <paul0> mwe: i think the problem is with SDL, because other programs run without problems
[12:05] <mwe> paul0: hmm
[12:06] <Milenco> pau: that works out-of-the-box here?
[12:06] <Milenco> At least the output. :P
[12:06] <Leo5> Can somebody recommend me a console application to manage/edit my partitions?
[12:06] <pau> it works with windows
[12:06] <gnomefreak> muaddib: if its not related to ubuntu support please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:06] <pike__> Leo5: cfdisk ?
[12:06] <Leo5> Thanks, I'll try that
[12:07] <mwe> paul0: SDL says it can't find a matching GLX visual. That would lead me to think it's a driver issue. I'm not 100% positive though
[12:07] <smax_> How to change soundcard mode from 2.0 to 5.1
[12:07] <pike__> Leo5: natually it doesnt resize only create and delete

[12:07] <pike__> naturally*
[12:07] <Leo5> good enough
[12:07] <paul0> mwe: but the driver is working fine with other applications
[12:07] <SkyMountaineer> can i get some help with my sound card pls
[12:07] <mwe> paul0: maybe they don't use that particular feature

If you are still having problems with sound, then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems

[12:28] <mwe> variant: is the card supposed to be supported by the driver?

[12:30] <variant> mwe: as far as i am aware the mx 400 is still supported

[12:33] <donie> lspci does not show the card either

[12:35] <mwe> Stormx2: what's strange again?
[12:36] <Jaak> Why is my xsane talking about scanning grey frame??

[12:37] <donie> apple ibook
[12:37] <donie> not detectign airport card
[12:37] <bionoid> donie: lspci
[12:37] <donie> not there
[12:37] <mwe> Stormx2: hmm. some of it is probably reserved so 88% full might trigger that warning
[12:38] <donie> i mean it doesnt see the airport
[12:38] <bionoid> donie: But the airport works fine if you boot macos?
[12:38] <donie> dont know
[12:38] <donie> dont have macos on it
[12:38] <WoolyGrrl> any way to force verbose during "loading hardware drivers" to find out specifically what is failing during initial load/boot?
[12:38] <atroWork> Max_-, you can specify a version to install with apt-get, it will revert if necessary. I don't remember the syntax off hand though, check the man page on it or aptitude
[12:38] <Stormx2> mwe: Well I deleted a lot of .wav's, it was on 95% I think
[12:38] <mwe> ok

[12:40] <Stormx2> mwe: it may be the recycle bin actually, XD
[12:40] <bionoid> donie: Hm well I don't know the first thing about macs, so can't help you, sorry :\
[12:40] <donie> which software actually powers up the cardbus?
[12:40] <mwe> Stormx2: du -h --max-depth=1|less might help you figure what dir is taking up most space at least
[12:40] <Max_-> atroWork, okay, thanks I'll look at this
[12:40] <stefg> !info yenta-socket
[12:40] <ubotu> Package yenta-socket does not exist in any distro I know
[12:40] <bionoid> donie: But if it doesn't even show up in lspci, then I'd take that as a sign that something is wrong on hardware level - be it the card, the motherboard or simply a bios setting
[12:41] <donie> bios settings on ibook?
[12:41] <mwe> Stormx2: maybe but I thought it was only allowed to use a certain percentage of the space
[12:41] <bionoid> the latter, of course, not being a hardware problem ;p
[12:41] <donie> i reset open firmware but that was no help
[12:41] <donie> not sure if you can disable the cardbus slot via openfirmware though
[12:41] <bionoid> donie: Again I don't know the first thing about macs, but I suppose it has a bios of some sort - whether or not it is configurable, I don't know..
[12:42] <XenThraL> how do I select which soundcard the system should use ? (KDE)
[12:42] <donie> k, thanks
[12:42] <Stormx2> mwe: Cleared the recycle bin: /dev/hdb6             5.4G  1.9G  3.3G  37% /home

[12:50] <keith> _dellfan_: nice, guess i need to create some thing which creates a .forward file for the users then.
[12:50] <sidny4> I'm sorry, were you talking wollygrrl?
[12:50] <WoolyGrrl> patient i am, but i was hoping for at least a "don't know" :P
[12:50] <_dellfan_> keith: i use it on few linux boxes and it works for me
[12:50] <variant> WoolyGrrl: or 3) your impatient and annoying
[12:50] <sidny4> yay for variant's answer
[12:50] <variant> WoolyGrrl: I dont even know your question..
[12:51] <sidny4> no noe does
[12:51] <sidny4> one*
[12:51] <nullus> !kernel
[12:51] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[12:51] <sidny4> so, WoolyGrrl, what seems to be your problem
[12:51] <keith> _dellfan_: _dellfan_ would it litterly just be a file in the users homedir, with the email address in ? i.e .forward<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:52] <iku_> hey guys. has anybody installed the ubuntu server version lately? i get an error message when installing the basic system and i cant continue to install it. any ideas what might be wrong? maybe a failure in the download?
[12:52] <nullus> !arch
[12:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about arch - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:52] <WoolyGrrl> possibly, but i first asked my question at 1714, i've rephrased it twice since then and more than half an hour later...
[12:52] <WoolyGrrl> so yeah, i'm impatient
[12:52] <nullus> !amd
[12:52] <nullus> !k7
[12:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about amd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:52] <_dellfan_> keith: yes, it is a file with only an e-mail to wich to forward
[12:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about k7 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:52] <keith> Nice.

[12:52] <crippy-boy> WoolyGrrl, There are alot of people in here alot needing help, just ask again.
[12:52] <sidny4> WoolyGrrl, that's good an all but please stop complaining and try your question again
[12:52] <donie> i need help with ibook
[12:53] <donie> anyone got one?
[12:53] <stefg> donie: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-21235.html
[12:53] <rasputnik> anyone got iscsi working with Breezy?
[12:53] <JDStone> how do I make my USB external HDD mount when I plug it in?
[12:53] <WoolyGrrl> nah, i wouldn't want to bother anybody
[12:53] <JDStone> on Ubuntu server
[12:53] <_dellfan_> keith: if you are looking for something that will help people create this file try usermin http://www.usermin.com
[12:53] <rasputnik> donie: I have one, but not running linux
[12:53] <_dellfan_> keith: but it is quite big project
[12:53] <donie> stefg:  thanks, but mine is just an airport, not extreme
[12:53] <XenThraL> eh, I need help if anyone is willing
[12:53] <Abst> !ask
[12:53] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:53] <sidny4> WoolyGrrl, if you would like hlep, simply ask your questions and they will get answered sooner or later
[12:54] <XenThraL> "Hi, I'm having troubles configuring which sound device to use in KDE -- its quite frustrating, tried just about everything"
[12:54] <crippy-boy> sidny4, She left
[12:54] <XenThraL> not only the sound device orders keep changing
[12:54] <XenThraL> but the 'default' one also changes
[12:54] <sidny4> some people's children
[12:54] <XenThraL> tried to do a fix for it I found on the forums, but it didn't 'take' apparently
[12:54] <sidny4> hmm
[12:54] <keith> _dellfan_: im not installing that :p i dont want to get rooted!
[12:54] <donie> are your file permissions ok in your account?
[12:55] <donie> maybe it cant write changes? XenThraL
[12:55] <XenThraL> Uh?
[12:55] <XenThraL> no I went as root
[12:55] <XenThraL> if root can't change it then, well, I'm pretty sure I'm screwed
[12:55] <donie> k, you're screwed :)
[12:56] <XenThraL> lol
[12:56] <_dellfan_> keith: ok, It just has a lot of features, my users like it very muach
[12:56] <XenThraL> I think the fix didn't work rather then me writing it
[12:56] <jshamash66> I am currently accessing my Ubuntu computers from other computers by typing its IP address in the address bar. Is there a way to do this using its computer name?
[12:56] <keith> _dellfan_: such as ?
[12:56] <keith> _dellfan_: are there any skin to make it look nice :D
[12:56] <rasputnik> jshamash66: if it has a dns entry, yes
[12:56] <variant> XenThraL: you can setup a udev rule that will tell it exactly where to be :)
[12:56] <donie> jshamash66: put an entry in your hsots file with teh ip first followed by the name
[12:56] <XenThraL> tell it what?
[12:57] <variant> XenThraL: you are having the soundcard issue right?
[12:57] <XenThraL> yes
[12:57] <rasputnik> donie: but he'll have to do that for every client
[12:57] <_dellfan_> keith: the user can change his/her password, read mail, configure fetchmail, crontab, set web protected directories ...
[12:57] <donie> use dns so
[12:57] <variant> XenThraL: you have more than one soundcard?
[12:57] <XenThraL> I have 2 sound cards and their order keeps changing
[12:57] <_dellfan_> keith: it has skins
[12:57] <jshamash66> rasputnik: where is the hosts file located?
[12:57] <donie> what platform? jshamash66
[12:57] <XenThraL> when that happens, it makes the other one the default output one
[12:57] <keith> _dellfan_: I might check it out
[12:57] <XenThraL> and that sucks for several reasons
[12:57] <XenThraL> mainly - I don't get any sound
[12:58] <jshamash66> donie: WinXP
[12:58] <rasputnik> jshamash66: /etc/hosts on linux, but I wouldn' recoomend doing it that way
[12:58] <donie> c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc i think
[12:59] <kromel> XenThraL, I believe there is a way you can control the order.  let me see if I can find the link to the proper info.
[12:59] <jshamash66> rasputnik: how do I give it a DNS entry? is that like setting up a static IP?
[01:00] <donie> <IP_ADDRESS> myothercoumputer
[01:00] <XenThraL> kromel, would appreciate that thanks ;)
[01:00] <donie> jshamash66: ^^^
[01:00] <donie> jshamash66: u need a DNS server on one of your machines
[01:00] <donie> if  you want all the machines to use it
[01:00] <donie> be easiest
[01:01] <anon32> this should go to #wine, but how does saving and opening files work in WINE? does WINE redirect Windows-based file names to unix ones?
[01:01] <rasputnik> jshamash66: if you want everyone to be able to get to your box, it needs a name everyone knows - that's what dns is for. Is this a machine on DSL or something?
[01:01] <whyso> what causes firefox to leak so much
[01:01] <sidny4> anybody here ever hear of navini?
[01:01] <kromel> XenThral, here is the link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=114551    please read the entire thread carefully.
[01:01] <XenThraL> thanks kromel
[01:02] <rasputnik> whyso: wait til you try 2.0 - it's awful
[01:02] <kromel> XenThral, your looking for a post made from FarEast
[01:02] <XenThraL> spotted it
[01:02] <XenThraL> "please try my solution" one right?
[01:03] <jshamash66> rasputnik: we have an internal network that's all windows-based, we only use DNS for internet, which we rely on our IP provider to give us. (i think)
[01:03] <kromel> XenThraL, going to find a better one, I was quick to jump.  Give me a few moments.
[01:04] <viator> wine uses somthing similar to explorer for its file manager if i recallif you have a server most time the server provides the dns
[01:04] <XenThraL> ok
[01:04] <Knifa> While trying to install the latest updates it stops at "0% [Waiting for headers] "
[01:04] <Knifa> is the server just busy?
[01:04] <viator> whoops
[01:04] <viator> mixed two posts
[01:04] <rasputnik> jshamash66: so do you want the name to work everywhere, or just your network?
[01:05] <jshamash66> rasputnik: just the network
[01:05] <variant> XenThraL: sorry aboutthat.. ssh dissconeccted me
[01:05] <rasputnik> jshamash66: right, then don't bother with dns. do the hostfile thing donie suggested
[01:05] <variant> XenThraL: you can setup a udev rule that will always assign the same deivce to the same name
[01:05] <XenThraL> hum
[01:05] <viator> funny how network manager and network monitor show two different levels of connectivity
[01:05] <rasputnik> Knifa: yes (uk at least is very slow atm)
[01:05] <XenThraL> how do I go about doing that?
[01:06] <wickedly_cool> hey how would i go about recompiling an installation of ubuntu kernal to include a nvidia driver
[01:06] <wickedly_cool> ?
[01:06] <viator> 15  and 58% respectively
[01:06] <wickedly_cool> hey how would i go about recompiling an installation of ubuntu kernal to include a nvidia driver
[01:06] <viator> anyone ever notice that
[01:06] <jshamash66> rasputnik: but won't I lose the connection once the dynamic IP is changed?
[01:06] <Warbo> anyone know the package that lets file roller open .debs?
[01:06] <variant> XenThraL: take a look at /etc/udev/rules.d/20-names.rules
[01:06] <wickedly_cool> hey how would i go about recompiling an installation of ubuntu kernal to include a nvidia driver
[01:06] <viator> nvidia driver?
[01:06] <viator> for a graphics card?
[01:06] <wickedly_cool> fx 5200 128 m ram
[01:06] <Warbo> wickedly_cool: Just use it as a module
[01:07] <wickedly_cool> yeah
[01:07] <wickedly_cool> ues what as a module?
[01:07] <viator> yea use a kernel module
[01:07] <Warbo> wickedly_cool: is this for yourself, or some kind of live CD?
[01:07] <variant> wickedly_cool: apt-get install nvidia-driver-common nvidia-glx
[01:07] <pitt0071> is ubuntu more stable than fedora guys?!
[01:07] <rasputnik> jshamash66: the ips on your network don't change. the ip the rest of the world uses to speak to your router probably does, but that's on a different network
[01:07] <kromel> XenThral, may I send you a private message?
[01:07] <rasputnik> Warbo: just untar them
[01:07] <variant> pitt0071: yes, in my experiance anyway. besides.. fedora sucks on many different levels :)
[01:07] <XenThraL> sure
[01:08] <variant> XenThraL: you see the different rules there?
[01:08] <XenThraL> I just opened it
[01:08] <XenThraL> looking for sound
[01:08] <wickedly_cool> i am about to make an install to get off windows... but i need my video card to work and it didnt last time i tried ubuntu actually i managed to get a kernel panic out of it
[01:08] <Warbo> rasputnik: They are just tarballs? file roller says it can't handle them (it can on my ubuntu system, but this is a live CD). Please don't tell me that file roller goes by extensions?
[01:08] <variant> XenThraL: its not far in
[01:08] <pitt0071> variant,  good,  two freezes on fedora when setting up..

[01:09] <rasputnik> viator: install nvidia-glx
[01:09] <Knifa> rasputnik: do you think it'll work eventually? D:
[01:09] <rasputnik> viator: then run nvidia-xconfig
[01:09] <Warbo> tar doesn't work :(
[01:09] <Warbo> (on .deb I mean)
[01:09] <XenThraL> variant, kromel found a forum link detailing exactly what I'm looking to do
[01:09] <wickedly_cool> i think windows and linux are about the same on stability but linux is much mor organized... and windows sucks with all the bugs/glitches/ and pet peeves....
[01:09] <rasputnik> Knifa: I just kill it and try again usually
[01:09] <XenThraL> thanks though I really appreciate the help
[01:09] <XenThraL> from both :)
[01:10] <variant> XenThraL: cool, best do that way then :)
[01:10] <jshamash66> rasputnik: ok, thanks for your help. So I should just add an entry to /etc/hosts with my IP, followed by the computer name?
[01:10] <Knifa> rasputnik: tried that a few times but it's still doing it
[01:10] <Knifa> :(
[01:10] <Knifa> oh hurray
[01:10] <Knifa> it's going
[01:10] <rasputnik> Warbo: I must be thinking of something else :)
[01:10] <boricua> any reocmendations on a micro atx MB for ubuntu
[01:10] <rasputnik> !iscsi
[01:10] <wickedly_cool> windows will add network adapters even though it's the same card but in a diffrent pci slot.... buggy
[01:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about iscsi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:11] <wickedly_cool> my network says network adapter #5 but its the same one as 4,3,2, and 1
[01:11] <wickedly_cool> just doesnt show up
[01:11] <rasputnik> jshamash66: no :) you need to do that on each windows machine
[01:11] <Warbo> I made a package which depends on realplay, but now I want to get rid of the dependency so I need to open it up and change control.tar.gz
[01:11] <cdavis> how do I tell if ubuntu is detecting/utilizing my dual core laptop?
[01:12] <cipher> Hey
[01:12] <cipher> anyone use XFCE???
[01:12] <rasputnik> Warbo: isn't that what 'apt-get build' does?
[01:12] <rasputnik> cdavis: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[01:12] <Warbo> rasputnik: I was using dpkg -b, but probably
[01:13] <rasputnik> Warbo: I don't know apt that well (it case it wasn't bloody obvious)
[01:13] <cdavis> rasputnik, thanks, its workign with two :)
[01:13] <wickedly_cool> should i go with dapper or the other one for nvidia drivers?

[01:14] <cdavis> Knifa, is there a place I can put it in so it uses that for root and normal users?
[01:14] <rasputnik> donie_: doesn't work on ubuntu either by the look of it :)
[01:14] <Knifa> cdavis: ah you mean like

[01:15] <shodanjr_gr> guys, i was wondeirng, if i do an image of a drive using DD, does the size of the image equal the TOTAL size of the drive? Or just the used space?
[01:15] <Warbo> shodanjr_gr: total
[01:15] <dougsko> shodanjr_gr: the space used
[01:15] <juanca> can somebody help me to share printer in a home network.  I don't seem to be able to get it to work.  My laptop works on Windows and my PC is on Ubuntu 6.10.  Printer is connected to PC.
[01:15] <shodanjr_gr> hm...
[01:15] <Warbo> shodanjr_gr: but you can use "sparse files" to make the free space neglibible
[01:15] <czer323> Is there a way to tell the updater that you don't want to upgrade a particular package?  And to ignore it on subsequent updates?
[01:15] <shodanjr_gr> can you explain a bit more Warbo?
[01:16] <dougsko> czer323: yeah, i forget exactly how you do it, but you can lock certain packages
[01:17] <Warbo> shodanjr_gr: every bit of the drive will be copied, every 0 and every 1. For the unallocated parts/unused parts then if they are, say, all 0 then instead of storing thousands of zeroes, Linux filesystems can remember that there should be thousands of zeroes, but not actually put them there because it would be a waste of space. That is called a "sparse" file
[01:17] <czer323> dougsko, I just tried that.  it didn't work.  I'm trying to uncheck the automatically installed option.  I'll tell you the result.
[01:17] <wrabbit^> Anybody know how to play mp4 videos in ubuntu?
[01:17] <dougsko> czer323: ok cool
[01:17] <shodanjr_gr> aha
[01:17] <shodanjr_gr> is there a parameter i should use for the command? i wana do an image of my c: drive where windows is installed
[01:18] <rasputnik> ok, forget the iscsi bit - anyone do custom kernels much?
[01:18] <dougsko> wrabbit^: i dont know what youre trying to play them with, but try vlc, that program literally plays _everything_
[01:18] <wrabbit^> I'll install that now dougsko, thanks
[01:19] <dougsko> wrabbit^: yup :)

[01:29] <Spaceraverlinux> line in amicrawle
[01:30] <amicrawle> is that the blue or black  port
[01:30] <XenThraL> variant, eh, the link I tried didn't really help, could you help me set up the udev rule ?
[01:30] <amicrawle> becuse the green is my sound out for my speakers
[01:31] <cafuego> line is is normally blue
[01:31] <tkooda> anyone here use the 'socklog' package?  -I think something is deleting my "/var/run/socklog-*" service dirs on reboot??
[01:31] <cafuego> green is out, mic is red
[01:31] <Spaceraverlinux> should read line in or have a small symbol that looks something like this ((()))
[01:31] <amicrawle> I need my hand held to get my wintvcard to work with my sound blaster 512 card  and one will help me ?
[01:32] <Dreamglider> how do i get dvd and divx to play in ubuntu
[01:32] <LjL> !dvd
[01:32] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html  Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages

[01:33] <amicrawle> i have a blue and a black port open
[01:33] <newpZ> doesnt anyone know if the GE EasyCam web camera is supported?
[01:33] <amicrawle> they both have the same (((0)))
[01:34] <sidny4> what are you talking about amicrawle?
[01:34] <Spaceraverlinux> amicrawle, the blue should do it... the black one should be surround
[01:34] <amicrawle> ok i hear no sound
[01:34] <Spaceraverlinux> depends what you set the soundcard to do in the controls...
[01:34] <amicrawle> i have line in and our on my wintv card
[01:35] <amicrawle> it is a brooktree
[01:35] <Spaceraverlinux> amicrawle, use line out from the tv card to the line in on the soundblaster card
[01:35] <avagant> Alright guys, serious question.
[01:36] <amicrawle> i did
[01:36] <avagant> I finally think I have my alsa/sound problem fixed.
[01:36] <amicrawle> all i have is capture  in my stetting  in kmix
[01:36] <sidny4> sweet, I'm tired of those sarcastic questions
[01:36] <Spaceraverlinux> hm...
[01:36] <Spaceraverlinux> lol sidny4
[01:37] <amicrawle> do i need a diffrent mixer
[01:37] <avagant> However, my issue is...a. in order to further optimize my sound should I do the .asoundrc thing?
[01:37] <avagant> B. Do I have to load each and every module so I can "mix" sounds between oss and esd and alsa?
[01:38] <avagant> C. Is there a way that when I log in or start up Ubuntu I can just make Alsa the default player?
[01:38] <digeratess> Can anyone tell me what are best practices for maintaining accessibility of files that need to be shared for multiple users? I'm (trying to be) a Windows convert, but I'm having difficulty understanding how to approximate the way you can assign ownership of a windows folder to a group and everyone in that group always has access to all the files. Thanks.
[01:38] <JosefK> digeratess: create a group for the users, and make sure to chmod the path +s (sticky) before people start saving files to it
[01:39] <avagant> !aoss
[01:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aoss - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:39] <avagant> ok then.
[01:39] <Samuli^> !alsa-oss
[01:39] <ubotu> alsa-oss: ALSA wrapper for OSS applications. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.10-1 (dapper), package size 48 kB, installed size 216 kB (Only available for i386 ia64 alpha amd64 arm armeb hppa m32r m68k mips mipsel powerpc ppc64 s390 s390x sh3 sh3eb sh4 sh4eb sparc)
[01:39] <Samuli^> is that what you wanted?
[01:39] <avagant> So I do have to load that as a module or does it just happen?
[01:39] <avagant> I'm confused.
[01:39] <digeratess> thanks, JosefK!
[01:40] <carlfk_lap> ati mobility radon x700 on a laptop - how do I activate? the external vga port?  (fn-f8 ain't doing it)
[01:40] <avagant> I've got sound working, more than one thing at once, kill all esd yada yada.
[01:40] <avagant> I'm just a little unclear if I have to add some lines to something somewhere (which I tried the other day and it actually made my sound worse)
[01:40] <avagant> Or should I just leave it, and be happy I have sound again.
[01:41] <patconnexion> hello some one knows how to make video capture with vlc ?
[01:41] <carlfk_lap> patconnexion: is that the vnc client that makes a... .mov?
[01:41] <Epidemik> what would be the advantage of installing KDE as well as gnome?
[01:41] <Samuli^> avangat, I'd be just happy it works, but as far as I know, you just need to install alsa-oss with apt-get and it
[01:41] <Samuli^> 'just works'
[01:42] <Spaceraverlinux> Epidemik, more choices and maybe more confusion
[01:42] <avagant> That's what I did.
[01:42] <avagant> So it just works?
[01:42] <dougsko> Epidemik: none
[01:42] <Samuli^> avagant, yeah :)
[01:42] <avagant> See I've read all about this ".asoundrc" thing and don't know if I should do that or not.
[01:42] <Epidemik> so if i dont need it i shouldnt mess around with it?
[01:42] <avagant> Because right now my sound works flawlessly.
[01:42] <Samuli^> don't do anything then.
[01:42] <patconnexion> vlc
[01:42] <patconnexion> sorry
[01:42] <sidny4> precicesly Epidemik
[01:42] <Samuli^> if it's not broken don't fix it :)
[01:43] <avagant> But it's so tempting!
[01:43] <avagant> Heh
[01:43] <Spaceraverlinux> if it aint broken dont fix it avagant !!
[01:43] <Samuli^> lol
[01:43] <Epidemik> okay thanks for the help
[01:43] <Epidemik> no point fixing something thats working
[01:43] <Epidemik> ull just break it for real
[01:43] <patconnexion> vlc not vnc
[01:43] <amicrawle> i got alsa now what
[01:43] <avagant> I just don't know if I should do anything or not. I've had terribly awful luck with sound.
[01:43] <Spaceraverlinux> Samuli^, you beat me to it
[01:43] <sidny4> ain't it the truth
[01:43] <Epidemik> do any of you guys have dmix installed?
[01:43] <Epidemik> !dmix
[01:43] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure alsa is selected by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (Alsa Mixer). If you are still having problems with sound, then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[01:43] <avagant> I'm working on so many reinstalls now my head is spinning.
[01:44] <avagant> Is that something you download, or is it something that's just suppose to be there, that dmix?
[01:44] <avagant> Because apt-get install dmix turns up with nothing.
[01:44] <Epidemik> umm, i think it lets you have 2 audio sources play at once
[01:44] <Epidemik> i think... like teamspeak and a game (which i need for tournaments n such)
[01:44] <avagant> Yah so I gathered.
[01:45] <sidny4> anybody know why in cedega the alsa sound test fails?
[01:45] <avagant> it says it could not find dmix.
[01:45] <sidny4> sound works fine and everything
[01:45] <avagant> OR dmixer.
[01:46] <avagant> neither of those give me any answers on apt-get
[01:46] <[bash] > hi all, I need some help with the following:
[01:46] <shuan> who uses ubuntu lts?
[01:47] <Samuli^> avagant, try apt-cache search dmix and see if anything comes up
[01:47] <[bash] > I have a machine running ubuntu and another windows xp and the windows xp has internet and is connected to ubunto through 2 network cards, how can I make internet work on ubuntu
[01:47] <avagant> nope.
[01:47] <avagant> that's what i just did, samuli.
[01:47] <Samuli^> k.
[01:47] <avagant> !dsnoop
[01:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dsnoop - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:47] <sykes^> How come XMMS can play MP3 but not amaroK?
[01:48] <shuan> sykes get w32 codecs
[01:48] <LjL> !mp3
[01:48] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:48] <Spaceraverlinux> sykes^, did you install all codecs??
[01:48] <LjL> shuan: no need for w32codecs for mp3.
[01:48] <sykes^> Only ones I found is to convert mp3 to ogg, but I dont want that
[01:48] <shuan> true
[01:48] <dougsko> avagant: if youre trying to get more than one source playing at once, try a different driver, like OSS
[01:48] <shuan> need summin else
[01:48] <LjL> sykes^, read the first link above. there's an "mp3" section. do that.
[01:48] <avagant> no alsa works fine.
[01:48] <dougsko> avagant: oh ok
[01:48] <avagant> Right now I'm watching Bleach, listening to music and gaim sounds are playing.
[01:48] <patconnexion> some one knows how to configure vlc to make video captures?
[01:48] <crimsun> avagant: what are you confused about?
[01:49] <shuan> my ubuntu is asking if i want to upgrade to lts, should i do that?
[01:49] <Spaceraverlinux> shuan, you run dapper??
[01:49] <avagant> I'm just confused about the whole alsa thing, it works now just fine but I mean is there something else I have to do?
[01:49] <sykes^> LjL: I did, but it only say about converting, and I dont want to do that
[01:49] <crimsun> avagant: what's the output from ``cat /proc/asound/modules''
[01:49] <Spaceraverlinux> avagant, no need to do it if it works
[01:50] <shuan> spaceraverlinux: i dont even know what dapper is, im still exploring linux ubuntu
[01:50] <crimsun> avagant: if stuff is already working, then don't touch it.
[01:50] <LjL> sykes^: not true. just read it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-1340337f2ca1d0c54900935468515ba7630fcc59 - it specifically talks about Kubuntu and Amarok
[01:50] <avagant> it says 0 snd_via82xx
[01:50] <tkooda> does anyone here use the 'socklog' package??
[01:50] <crimsun> avagant: it's dmixed and dsnooped by default.
[01:50] <ruzgar> !harddisk
[01:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about harddisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:50] <ruzgar> how can I list my disks
[01:50] <ruzgar> in console
[01:50] <ruzgar> ?
[01:50] <crimsun> avagant: those are both pcm plugins that are distributed as part of libasound2. You'd never notice.
[01:50] <avagant> So I don't have to load up those pcm_blah blah blah modules?
[01:51] <crimsun> no, it happens transparently.
[01:51] <johnficca> dose anyone here have ibm t40 with wireless problems

[01:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hard disc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:52] <avagant> Ok, and is there a way to make Alsa the default player instead of when I start up it loading esd?
[01:52] <avagant> So I don't have to keep hitting "killall esd"
[01:52] <[bash] > anyone knows how I can resolve my problem?
[01:52] <avagant> Like right now it's up.
[01:53] <ruzgar> how can I list my discs ?
[01:53] <sykes^> LjL: I cant understand crap of that
[01:53] <LjL> sykes^: ok, just type "sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs". but you really should learn to read and understand basic documentation, you won't get very far otherwise, i believe :(
[01:53] <johnficca> ok I guess not I'll check back latter
[01:54] <digeratess> bash, try this: http://linuxweblog.com/xp-internet-connection-sharingd
[01:54] <dn4> i'm a few fries short of a happy meal
[01:54] <avagant> I definitley had to search very cafefully to find that myself.
[01:54] <sykes^> LjL: I know, but I looked through, and the only thing I saw was how to install it in some player called K3B and juK
[01:54] <LjL> sykes^: well, the first thing it says *is* to install libxine-extracodecs though
[01:54] <Parisi> Hello
[01:54] <avagant> Actually it's funny too, the sync works perfect in flash.
[01:55] <lumgwada> Is is possible to alter the gnome ftp folder settings to stop file replace confirmation? also can anyone suggest other settings to make the remote folder be less hangy on a slowish connection?
[01:55] <sykes^> LjL: Installed it but doesnt work, hmm
[01:55] <LjL> sykes^: the installation succeded, though? are you actually on Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[01:55] <avagant> But is it possible to stop esd from showing up at all?
[01:56] <sykes^> LjL: Ubuntu
[01:56] <LjL> sykes^: and did the installation succeed? i say this because you need to have the Multiverse repository enabled to obtain that package
[01:56] <avagant> Sync with flash is awesome.
[01:57] <sykes^> LjL: Got this message (In Swedish): Paketet libxine-extracodecs har ingen installationskandidat   - means like "Package libxine-extracodes does not have a isntallationcandidate"
[01:57] <avagant> You've got to uncomment somethings first.
[01:57] <LjL> sykes^: ok, you need to enable multiverse
[01:57] <sykes^> LjL: How do I do that?
[01:57] <LjL> !tell sykes^ about multiverse
[01:57] <avagant> Go to System > Adminstration > Software properities
[01:57] <avagant> Your list of repositories will come up.
[01:57] <LjL> sykes^: this should tell you. ask if you don't understand, but please try making it by yourself first
[01:58] <sykes^> LjL: Will do
[01:58] <avagant> On every one that says "Source" click edit, and add on the ones that aren't checked.
[01:58] <avagant> It too me a while to figure that out myself.
[01:58] <avagant> "took"
[01:58] <avagant> Time to find me some more video game ost.
[01:59] <sykes^> LjL: It say multiverse aint free
[02:00] <dougsko> sykes^: its free as in beer, jus not free as in freedom
[02:00] <Woosta> What package has /usr/src/linux/include in it? I thought it would have been linux-headers ..
[02:00] <sykes^> dougsko: Um, ok
[02:01] <dougsko> sykes^: www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
[02:01] <dougsko> sykes^: or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License
[02:01] <sykes^> dougsko: Well, I can't find any download link
[02:02] <dougsko> sykes^: im not sure what that means
[02:02] <LjL> sykes^: multiverse contains some non-free packages, but that doesn't mean you have to pay for them
[02:02] <sykes^> LjL: Either way I can't find it, nor on google
[02:02] <LjL> sykes^: it either means that they're freeware but *not* under an open source license, or that they use dangerously patent encumbered stuff (like mp3)
[02:02] <LjL> sykes^: can't find what?
[02:03] <sykes^> LjL: Multiverse
[02:03] <LjL> sykes^: ok, nevermind. type "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" in order to open your repository list for editing
[02:04] <myk3> hello
[02:04] <LjL> sykes^: then find all the lines that begin with "deb", and after the various "main" and "restricted", add "universe multiverse"

[02:05] <sykes^> LjL: Nvm, typed wrong ;)
[02:05] <avagant> I don't like using xchat, I prefer Konversation.

[02:05] <LjL> ah
[02:05] <dougsko> myk3: what chipset is your wifi card?
[02:05] <pitt0071> avagant, tried irssi? :)

[02:05] <myk3> it is a airlink 101
[02:05] <allawi> crippy-boy, finally .. some help
[02:05] <dougsko> myk3: well only certains ones work with it
[02:05] <avagant> pitt0071: Is that the command line one?
[02:05] <sykes^> LjL: LIke "deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main universe multiverse" ?
[02:05] <LjL> sykes^: make sure you add universe and multiverse to *all* lines that don't have it
[02:05] <dougsko> myk3: whats your wireless interface called?
[02:05] <Spaceraverlinux> allawi, i get a file download... some phtml stuff
[02:05] <Geoffrey2> is there anyone in here who can tell me how to get clamav up and running?
[02:06] <myk3> wlan0
[02:06] <pitt0071> avagant, yes
[02:06] <allawi> crippy-boy, my quistion is how to set it up
[02:06] <avagant> Hmm.
[02:06] <LjL> sykes^: yeah (though i find strange that there isn't a "restricted" on that line too...?)
[02:06] <Woosta> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]  /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-26
[02:06] <Woosta> The path "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-26" is an existing directory, but it does not contain a "linux" subdirectory as expected.
[02:06] <Woosta> ^^ Anyone help me?
[02:06] <sykes^> LjL: There are, I just thought that I should remove it?
[02:06] <allawi> Spaceraverlinux, thanx alot .. i know that but i wanna know how to set the php cfg file
[02:06] <LjL> sykes^: did i tell you to? :P
[02:06] <avagant> Well I tried bitchx and nirc (whatever it's called) and it didn't appease my irc'ing ways.
[02:06] <crippy-boy> allawi, There are alot of tutorials/articles online, Best bet is looking at articles about setting up a LAMP server.
[02:06] <sykes^> LjL: Yeah? ^^
[02:06] <dougsko> myk3: are you using ndiswrapper
[02:07] <LjL> sykes^: uh no... i said      after the various "main" and "restricted", add "universe multiverse"
[02:07] <avagant> I wonder if there's anything else I should get....should I get those alsaplayer plugins for esd and ect?
[02:07] <myk3> no
[02:07] <myk3> i cna run
[02:07] <crippy-boy> allawi, I cant really help much because i dont have all that much experience with apache/php.
[02:07] <allawi> crippy-boy, I did it by using the help on wiki.ubuntu.com ... but i cant find how to set it up
[02:07] <myk3> iwlist wlan0 scan
[02:07] <myk3> and see my network
[02:07] <Knifa> rawr!
[02:08] <sykes^> LjL: I know, I was joking :P
[02:08] <sykes^> LjL: Added that now
[02:08] <allawi> crippy-boy, thanx alot for your help anyway .... aftera all, you tried
[02:08] <Woosta> NM .. found it
[02:08] <LjL> sykes^: ok :P when you're finished, save and exit using Ctrl+X
[02:08] <avagant> But anyways SHOULD I set up that .asoundrc file?
[02:08] <avagant> I've got alsa working just fine, but I want to make sure..
[02:08] <crippy-boy> allawi, Im not too sure then, Just check the mods you made to httpd.conf
[02:08] <sykes^> Aight
[02:08] <myk3> the chipset is Zydas
[02:08] <shodanjr_gr> Warbo are you there mate?
[02:08] <shodanjr_gr> apparently not :P
[02:09] <LjL> sykes^: then type "sudo apt-get update", and then try again installing libxine-extracodecs
[02:09] <allawi> crippy-boy, in which dir. ??
[02:09] <crippy-boy> allawi, It looks as though the php pages arent getting fed to the interpreter, so the server is just chucking the php sources at ya.
[02:09] <amicrawle> what is a good dvr app for ubnutu
[02:09] <dougsko> myk3: please preface your replies with my nick so i can see them :)
[02:09] <amicrawle> i know that beos has a very good one
[02:09] <shodanjr_gr> Can someone give me the full syntaxt of the DD command in order to make a "compressed" image of my c: partition onto my d: partition while in Ubuntu?
[02:09] <crippy-boy> allawi, Did you have to edit a config file?
[02:09] <myk3> dougsko: sorry the chipset id Zydas
[02:09] <Ademan> I GOT MY SVIDEO OUT WORKING
[02:09] <myk3> dougsko: is Zydas
[02:10] <allawi> crippy-boy, i did change some ips .. thats all
[02:10] <avagant> I got my audio working period!
[02:10] <avagant> Hurray for us!
[02:10] <avagant> Guys I'm not too thrilled with gaim unfortunetly.
[02:10] <LjL> amicrawle: well,  i can see an app in the repos that's actually called "dvr"
[02:10] <efrancolaporte> hey i was wondering if somebody could tell me if theres an application i could easilly install to resize my NTFS partition and enlarge my Ext3 one
[02:10] <stylus> which development tools do I need to get from apt-get to help me compile stuff?
[02:10] <LjL> efrancolaporte: GPartEd should do that, i think. and you have it already installed.
[02:10] <Ademan> efrancolaporte: GParted
[02:10] <sykes^> LjL: Weird, still doesnt work
[02:10] <allawi> crippy-boy, /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[02:11] <amicrawle> with gui ?
[02:11] <Ademan> efrancolaporte: use the GParted LiveCD though
[02:11] <LjL> sykes^: what does it say? (if the error is long, paste to the pastebin -- and don't bother translating, i can read the swedish)
[02:11] <efrancolaporte> yeah its not in the terminal command line eh
[02:11] <stylus> anyone have a clue? I just need stuff like gcc etc.
[02:11] <efrancolaporte> i have to reboot using Ubuntu's CD eh...
[02:11] <sykes^> LjL: Oh ok
[02:11] <LjL> !b-e > stylus
[02:11] <dougsko> myk3: oh, you might need to install the wpa Supplicant
[02:11] <crippy-boy> allawi, yep
[02:12] <sykes^> !pastebin
[02:12] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[02:12] <efrancolaporte> as long as it doesnt mess my current Ubuntu OS it's all good i still have my live CD
[02:12] <dougsko> myk3: but still only some drivers support it
[02:12] <efrancolaporte> thanks
[02:12] <myk3> dougsko: i allready did install that
[02:12] <sykes^> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26220/
[02:12] <allawi> does reinstall php will solve anything ??
[02:13] <shodanjr_gr> Can someone give me the full syntaxt of the DD command in order to make a "compressed" image of my c: partition onto my d: partition while in Ubuntu? (so that the image does not included empty space)
[02:13] <LjL> sykes^: well, first, open your /etc/apt/sources.list again. you've typed "univere" instead of "universe" somewhere
[02:13] <sykes^> LjL: Bah
[02:13] <allawi> crippy-boy, will reinstalling pho solve anything ???
[02:13] <allawi> crippy-boy,  php
[02:13] <dougsko> myk3: is this a pci card?
[02:13] <LjL> sykes^: but, besides that, it seems that the package was actually installed, i think
[02:13] <myk3> dougsko: no usb card
[02:13] <myk3> dougsko: well usb dongle
[02:14] <tortoise_> wow rhythmbox is very cpu intensive, worse than amarok!
[02:14] <crippy-boy> allawi, Possibly but i doubt it, im pretty sure its something to do with the apache config, You might be best reading up a little, I really dont have much experience with apache beyond serving static pages and such
[02:14] <crippy-boy> AmaroK rocks :P
[02:15] <allawi> crippy-boy,  thanx alot ... I'm out of here

[02:16] <fluvvell> avagant, what do you not like about gaim?
[02:16] <letarte> How do I use Synaptic Package Manager :S
[02:16] <LjL> sykes^: have you closed and reopened amarok after installing the new package? (note that you must close it from the system tray -- closing the window alone isn't enough)
[02:16] <Ademan> i heard banshee is pretty good but i dunno
[02:16] <jrib> ubotu: tell letarte about synaptic
[02:16] <MrTilly> letarte: what is confusing you about synaptic?
[02:16] <crippy-boy> Whats wrong with amarok?
[02:16] <LjL> sykes^: also, i'm using Kubuntu, so perhaps there might be something i'm missing about Amarok in Ubuntu...
[02:16] <sykes^> LjL: Wow I'm stupid
[02:16] <letarte> How do I use Synaptic Package Manager :S
[02:16] <Ademan> fluvvell: i use it, but it has very iffy direct connection support... as far as i know its the best AIM client out there right now (for linux) though
[02:17] <sykes^> LjL: Works now (forgot it in the tray) thanks :)
[02:17] <LjL> !synaptic > letarte
[02:17] <letarte> lol ok
[02:17] <letarte> Well im tryin to get Wine to work but I dont know how?
[02:17] <Ademan> LjL: do you remember who it was that was having trouble with SVIDEO besides me? i got mine working
[02:17] <LjL> sykes^: cool ;)  now, by the way, have a look in your Synaptic... you'll see you'll have "a few" more package available than before
[02:17] <MrTilly> !synaptic > mrtilly
[02:17] <Ademan> letarte: what program are you wanting to use it with?
[02:17] <jrib> Ademan: dougsko
[02:17] <LjL> ademan: dougsko
[02:17] <fluvvell> Ademan, yeah I use it quite a lot.  File sends and receives seem ok, but maybe voice and video additions to complement msn would help?
[02:17] <sykes^> LjL: Aight
[02:17] <letarte> Starcraft
[02:17] <letarte> Maybe Steam with its Games
[02:18] <letarte> like DoD and CS
[02:18] <crippy-boy> Mercury messenger for voice and vid support.
[02:18] <Ademan> fluvvell: from what i've heard theres a new version of gaim thats very good, but i'm not willing to install from source
[02:18] <dougsko> myk3: http://sourceforge.net/search/?forum_id=326770&type_of_search=forums&group_id=94356&words=wpa
[02:18] <LjL> sorry jrib, was typing with window scrolled up :)
[02:18] <dougsko> Ademan: nice job
[02:18] <sykes^> Oh yeah, how come the sound sucks in amarok and not XMMS?
[02:18] <Ademan> dougsko: if you're interested i could paste my xorg.conf
[02:18] <dougsko> Ademan: could i see a paste of your xorg?
[02:18] <Ademan> hehe
[02:18] <Ademan> sure thing
[02:18] <fluvvell> Ademan, yeah thems the breaks when you want something to fit in with your distro overall eh? ;-)
[02:18] <myk3> dougsko: i have a 1211 driver
[02:19] <letarte> Ademan: can you help me?
[02:19] <TigerWolf> Is there a way to reset all settings for alsa and oss as ive screwed them up and have no sound atm
[02:19] <Ademan> letarted: so you've installed wine?
[02:19] <fluvvell> Ademan, I've used it previously with mandrake a few years ago, and still wished I could use the more up-to date copies.  But at least there is a settling down time and debugging that happens this way.
[02:19] <LjL> sykes^: hmm... i think i've seen that happen. i don't really know, but perhaps you should go into Amarok's xine configuration (Settings / Configure Amarok / Xine), and select "esd" (or failing that, "alsa") as the output device
[02:19] <jordan> Can somebody help me with remapping F12 to be a right click?
[02:19] <sykes^> Or no, the sounds sucks in both XMMS and amarok :D
[02:20] <LjL> sykes^: ah then perhaps you simply have the gain set too high in the mixer
[02:20] <myk3> dougsko: how do i associate with a mac?
[02:20] <dougsko> myk3: im not sure about that driver, that forum i linked to will be more help than i could be
[02:20] <dougsko> myk3: no idea
[02:21] <sykes^> LjL: The what?
[02:21] <Geoffrey2> can anyone help me get clamav up and running?
[02:21] <LjL> stylus: the gain... some soundcards have another setting, besides the master volume, which controls the loudness -- and may get sound out distorted if it's set to high
[02:21] <letarte> Ademan: check your pm
[02:22] <Ademan> ok
[02:22] <sykes^> LjL: The music sounds like its played on a speak someone have cut with a knife
[02:22] <shodanjr_gr> guys im wondering
[02:22] <sykes^> LjL: Like all rosty and stuff
[02:22] <Ademan> letarted: i don't see a PM
[02:22] <shodanjr_gr> im installing ubuntu
[02:22] <LjL> stylus: doesn't necessarily has to be called "gain" though in the mixer
[02:22] <TigerWolf> Is there a way to reset all settings for alsa and oss as ive screwed them up and have no sound atm
[02:22] <letarte> hmmm
[02:22] <LjL> stylus: does XMMS still do that even if you close down amarok?
[02:22] <Ademan> dougsko: sorry my normal paste site is down, gonna use the ubuntu one
[02:22] <dougsko> Ademan: ok cool
[02:22] <shodanjr_gr> and i am at the partitioner screen. I want to have the partitioner use the 11 gigs of unpartitioned space on my drive. I assume i have to do the partitions manual. How should i set them up?
[02:22] <LjL> sykes^, the two messages i addressed to stylus were for you. sorry stylus
[02:22] <letarte> Ademan: I just told you my whole problem in a PM
[02:23] <LjL> stylus: the three messages, actually
[02:23] <LjL> argh
[02:23] <LjL> sykes^: you
[02:23] <sykes^> LjL: Think I fixed it, lowered the PCM some
[02:23] <Ademan> letarte: didn't get to me then, sorry, join #ademan
[02:23] <letarte> k
[02:24] <LjL> sykes^: well, then it probably was something akin to what i was thinking. perhaps see if you can find a third slider (besides master and PCM) which somehow controls volume
[02:24] <Ademan> dougsko: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26221/    i can show you the important lines if you'd like
[02:24] <sykes^> LjL: Nah it's ok, the sound is "perfect" now :) Thanks for everything
[02:24] <LjL> you're welcome
[02:25] <dougsko> Ademan: i think i can figure it out, but if i have a Q, ill ask. thanks :)
[02:25] <jordan> How can I map a key to be eqivilent to pressing the right mouse button ( I am on a mac and need a way to right click )?
[02:26] <viator> get a mouse with more buttons
[02:26] <Ademan> dougsko: sure :-)  just fyi the Devices MUST have Screen X  specified (and it must be a number NOT a string) 0 and 1 reffer to the order they occur in the xorg.conf   0 first 1 second and so on  (NOTE: this only applies to single card -> multiple output scenarios)
[02:26] <shodanjr_gr> Can anyone help with my partitioning woes?
[02:26] <sykes^> Is there any free cd/dvd-burning program for linux btw?
[02:27] <dougsko> Ademan: sweet. so when you want to watch tv, you just plug in the svideo and restart X?
[02:27] <jordan> viator, It's a laptop and that isn't very convienient.
[02:27] <viator> i see
[02:27] <Ademan> dougsko: OH, hahaha i thought you wanted to output your computer screen to your tv...
[02:27] <sykes^> !burning
[02:27] <ubotu> CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[02:28] <dougsko> Ademan: i do
[02:28] <viator> maybe system>prefrences>keyboard
[02:28] <Ademan> oh alright, when you said "watch tv" i thought you meant like, watch cable or something
[02:28] <dougsko> Ademan: nah, just like watch a movie off your box on the tv
[02:28] <Ademan> but yeah, i actualyl don't know, i may not evne have to restart X as long as that stuff is in the xorg.conf
[02:28] <Ademan> oh, yep

[02:34] <lostinc> Hi I installed Ubuntu from the LTS 6.06 CD onto a laptop. This laptop uses a D-Link PCMCIA card for etho conn. When I was in Live mode it had no issues going to the net. When it rebooted into the harddrive version I lost the etho conn
[02:34] <FearBSD> i carry it right now on my neck
[02:34] <lostinc> Any ideas?
[02:35] <FearBSD> jordan: but i don't know wether this mainboard here supports usb boot or not!
[02:35] <jordan> FearBSD, You can install from that, I don't know off hand how but I'll search for a tutorial.
[02:35] <FearBSD> jordan: thanks
[02:36] <jordan> FearBSD, You could also install it onto a hard drive from a computer with an opticle drive then swap the drive.
[02:37] <FearBSD> jordan: this is not possible atm. i think the board supports it. Ground Zero:
[02:37] <FearBSD> I have a kt6 delta main board (3 years old) and it suports booting from usb. I know that most bo
[02:37] <FearBSD> jordan: found this on google
[02:37] <FearBSD> you found the guide?
[02:38] <host`> what do you guys think is the best all around window manager? in terms of stability, speed and options
[02:38] <letarte> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26222/    what did i do wrong here
[02:38] <jordan> FearBSD, Not yet, The basics I believe are to copy the contents of the liveCD to the thumb drive, then use syslinux to make it bootable.
[02:38] <TigerWolf> What do i do if my /proc/asound directory is missing and how do i get it back?
[02:39] <letarte> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26222/    what did i do wrong here
[02:39] <host`> excuse me, best all around "desktop environment"
[02:40] <FearBSD> jordan: is this possible from within a windows system?
[02:40] <host`> letarte, something else has that dir locked
[02:40] <jordan> FearBSD, Yes.
[02:40] <letarte> host`: how do i find out?
[02:40] <host`> close anything else that could be using that dir
[02:40] <letarte> Ok
[02:40] <letarte> would XChat use it>?
[02:41] <TigerWolf> What do i do if my /proc/asound directory is missing and how do i get it back?
[02:41] <fr33mind> When I'm full screen with terminal client, how to switch to my ubuntu desktop instead of the terminal client?

[02:41] <host`> close synaptic or any other package manager
[02:41] <O2> Hello, everyone
[02:42] <letarte> host`: OMG THANKS YOU
[02:42] <host`> no prob
[02:43] <host`> letarte, if you slow down and look at the error messages, a lot of time you'll figure out what you have to do to fix the problem even if your a linux noob like me
[02:43] <host`> I saw that one a few days ago myself
[02:43] <host`> something similar at least
[02:43] <letarte> host`: its just im tryin to install wine
[02:44] <letarte> and im not getting it to work
[02:44] <DarkrhaveN> good evening
[02:44] <DarkrhaveN> anyone awake ?
[02:45] <host`> DarkrhaveN, hello
[02:45] <O2> I wonder... in the system-monitor, the user-ram means in use or free ram?
[02:45] <letarte> host`: can u help me ???
[02:45] <letarte> come to #hostya
[02:45] <host`> with what?
[02:45] <O2> anyone can help?
[02:45] <DarkrhaveN> good evening host
[02:46] <FearBSD> anybody can tell me how i can make the livecd bootable from usb flashdrives?

[02:47] <MaKaTiGuY^> how can i mount my other partition drive?
[02:47] <BlueEagle> o2: user ram would probably be the ram availible to the user (ie. not tied up by kernel and/or system processes)
[02:47] <BlueEagle> o2: ...and that's just a guess.
[02:47] <w30> I have an ipp protocol print server on <IP_ADDRESS> but the printer doesn't tell my spool when it is done printing. Is there an entry in cupsd.conf I am missing? or need?
[02:47] <BlueEagle> o2: user ram would probably include cache too.
[02:48] <BlueEagle> ...or not.
[02:48] <FearBSD> thx man
[02:48] <DarkrhaveN> heh
[02:48] <DarkrhaveN> is ubunto taxing on hardware, like windows is ?
[02:48] <DarkrhaveN> wow
[02:48] <DarkrhaveN> I should be shot for that spelling error
[02:48] <DarkrhaveN> ubuntu
[02:48] <BlueEagle> !enter
[02:48] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[02:48] <zenwhen> w30: have you tried this configuration? http://occy.net/printing
[02:48] <shadowhywind> Hi all, I am having issues with my wireless, dhcpcd wont grab an IP anymore, any ideas?
[02:49] <BlueEagle> darkrhaven: You should be shot for !enter. :p
[02:49] <DarkrhaveN> blueeagle: probably, old irc habit
[02:49] <w30> zenwhen, nope, but I will, thanks.
[02:49] <Vornotron> Ubuntu - and Linux in general - is not very resource intensive unless you run a lot of resource-intensive stuff.
[02:49] <Samuli^> DarkrhaveN, it really depends on what you're running on it.
[02:50] <LjL> DarkrhaveN: i personally find both Ubuntu and Kubuntu a bit more hardware-voracious than Windows XP. that's just me though, never made any measurements of any sorts
[02:50] <host`> Shadowhywind, do an iwlist wlan0 scan
[02:50] <zenwhen> w30: that has been the magic bullet for me
[02:50] <robertj_> should I be able to use my bluetooth headset as a microphone?
[02:50] <Vornotron> Windows is mainly so heavy because it's doing a lot of stuff in the default setup.
[02:50] <sethk> LjL, depends on what you run, of course
[02:50] <BlueEagle> darkrhaven: And as for your question "taxing" is a question of definition. X and gnome would roughly equal win98 or so I guess. Still the applications you choose to run can be as taxing as anything.
[02:50] <LjL> sethk: well, yeah, i'm thinking about the standard stuff mostly. the desktop, office apps, a browser...
[02:50] <shadowhywind> hpst', yah did that, nodda
[02:51] <gif> problem: I get a black screen when I'm trying to boot the live cd. I guess the display driver is the problem. my video card is a nvidia 5900 and the version of ubuntu is 6.06
[02:51] <Samuli^> I pretty sure gnome is runs slower than win98 on older computers.
[02:51] <shodanjr_gr> How do i configure the order of boot items in Grub?
[02:51] <FearBSD> !edgy
[02:51] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[02:51] <ruffles> hello there. what's the difference between apt-get clean and apt-get autoclean ?
[02:51] <BlueEagle> shodanjr_gr: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:51] <host`> is your instead of wlan0 use what you would usually use to dhcp though
[02:51] <Samuli^> it doesn't take up too much ram, but just.. feels sluggish.
[02:51] <sethk> LjL, oh, all that low overhead stuff.
[02:51] <shodanjr_gr> thx BlueEagle
[02:51] <shadowhywind> host`, i know the scan completed
[02:51] <BlueEagle> shodanjr_gr: That's the file you'll need to edit so ALT+F2 and type in: gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:51] <BlueEagle> bahh
[02:52] <host`> nothing?
[02:52] <BlueEagle> shodanjr_gr: make that gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:52] <jordan> Samuli^, Have you tried XFCE?
[02:52] <LjL> sethk: well, that's what most people mostly use i think
[02:52] <shadowhywind> it returned some restults, but no ip
[02:52] <Mik3> !schedule
[02:52] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[02:52] <DarkrhaveN> BlueEagle: and Ubuntu is good for users who've never touched a linux o/s in thier entire lives ?
[02:52] <Samuli^> jordan, yes. It's nice.
[02:52] <bernie> my top bar rearranged itself, how can i move3 the icons
[02:52] <host`> shadowhywind, try doing dmesg
[02:52] <sethk> LjL, many, definitely, fortunately not me.
[02:52] <shadowhywind> if i manually add a ip, i can see the setuppage for the router, but i can not get to any webpages
[02:52] <host`> shadowhywind, make sure you set the essid
[02:53] <Samuli^> I felt that KDE run better on my older comp than gnome did. It was the sweetspot with functionality and speed.
[02:53] <BlueEagle> darkrhaven: It's not the worst place in the world to start, however since the focus is on open source software entirely you'll find that you've got trouble playing much media out of the box. (Ie. you'll need to add codecs for mp3 et al.
[02:53] <shadowhywind> i am using wpa_supplicant, and i have been able to connect for the last 2 weeks, just today its acting werid
[02:53] <host`> shadowhywind, 'iwconfig wlan0 essid essidnamehere'
[02:53] <shadowhywind> also the only semi-werid thing in dmesg is [17179892.988000]  wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
[02:54] <david__> the sound on flash videos under firefox is lagging behind the video
[02:54] <host`> you should se something else relating to it other than the IPv6 thing
[02:55] <gif> problem: I get a black screen when I'm trying to boot the live cd. I guess the display driver is the problem. my video card is a nvidia 5900 and the version of ubuntu is 6.06
[02:55] <sethk> david__, turn down the lights, maybe the video will go slower
[02:55] <host`> shadowhywind, there should be another entry for wlan0 before that on telling you that the hardware is present or something
[02:55] <viator> if you just install gnome network manager you get wpa
[02:55] <gif> (I don't want to flood here, I just did not get an answer)
[02:55] <viator> and wpa 2
[02:55] <DarkrhaveN> BlueEagle, are there many books on Ubuntu ?
[02:55] <shadowhywind> well yah, all the other entries are normal
[02:56] <sethk> gif, use the text mode install on the alternate cd
[02:56] <BlueEagle> darkrhaven: Imo ubuntu is the best free (as in beer) starter distro. However linspire was looking quite well in beta bar some stability issues and the fact that linspire uses KDE. :)
[02:56] <david__> sethk.... huh??
[02:56] <sethk> gif, if your purpose of using the live cd is to install
[02:56] <gif> there is only one cd
[02:56] <sethk> david__, huh which?
[02:56] <sethk> gif, no, there are three
[02:56] <david__> sethk.... turn down the lights?
[02:56] <Samuli^> BlueEagle, nothing wrong with KDE, really :)
[02:56] <TigerWolf> can someone send me their /etc/modules file so i can find out whats wrong with mine?
[02:56] <host`> mine says the IPv6 thing to, but I also have another entry saying that it's present basically(but I need to update my driver)
[02:56] <sethk> david__, oh, that was an attempt at humor
[02:56] <gif> yup, that's what I am trying to do
[02:56] <david__> sethk ah
[02:56] <Geoffrey2> can I just double-click on a .deb to install it?
[02:56] <david__> k
[02:56] <DarkrhaveN> I dunno i'm gunna order up some cd's and build a box
[02:57] <DarkrhaveN> and see
[02:57] <sethk> BlueEagle, I use kde on all of my ubuntu boxes, except servers (which don't use desktops at all)
[02:57] <DarkrhaveN> I gotta get rid of windows before vista hits
[02:57] <BlueEagle> darkrhaven: There's been written an official ubunty book, however much of what you find in other books is really linux and/or package spesific and not distro spesific. Ie. you've got access to all packages (well almost) in ubuntu as you do in redhat, mandriva et al.
[02:57] <david__> so, the fix is to wait for an update to flash from adobe then....
[02:57] <DarkrhaveN> thats all I know.
[02:57] <TigerWolf> Geoffrey2: you should be able to
[02:57] <LjL> Geoffrey2: thanks to gdebi, you should be able to. note that third-party .debs might break things.
[02:57] <host`> make sure to set your essid, and you might have to ifdown everything else like the eth0 for the wlan0 to work
[02:57] <viator> if you want kde i recommend mepis
[02:57] <jordan> How can I map a key to be eqivilent to pressing the right mouse button ( I am on a mac and need a way to right click )?
[02:57] <BlueEagle> darkrhaven: What are you using your computer for?
[02:57] <gif> sethk: I only received 1 cd
[02:57] <DarkrhaveN> alot of different things
[02:58] <Samuli^> mepis is not bad, but it's not ubuntu either ;)
[02:58] <shadowhywind> thats something i haven't tried yet, setting eth0 down and dhcpcd wlan0
[02:58] <DarkrhaveN> as of lately, its been downloading music, myspace, aim and irc
[02:58] <BlueEagle> darkrhaven: let me rephrase: Do you play lots of games or view lots of flash stuff?
[02:58] <sethk> gif, download the alternate cd image and burn it onto a cd
[02:58] <ruffles> Samuli^: mepis is based on ubuntu as far as i'm concerned
[02:58] <DarkrhaveN> I hardly play any games, unless they're emulated console games
[02:58] <shadowhywind> this might be the problem [17180693.348000]  ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[02:58] <sethk> gif, there are things you can try, but the probability of them succeeding is low.
[02:59] <Samuli^> ruffles, it is. funnily enough ubuntu is based on debian and now mepis is based on ubuntu. Uses the same repos etc.
[02:59] <sethk> gif, the other think I'd recommend is installing the preceding version of ubuntu, and then upgrading.
[02:59] <Samuli^> ruffles, but still, I find ubuntu better than mepis for the difference there is.
[02:59] <BlueEagle> darkrhaven: those four are well catered for in linux.
[02:59] <gif> ok, any references where I can find the information for these other things?
[02:59] <ruffles> Samuli^: well.. that's something personal i guess
[02:59] <avagant> I want the newer Konversation but it's not in the repositories and I'm on Ubuntu, is there anyway I can get it from the repositories?
[02:59] <jordan> david__, You can install wine and windows firefox and use the windows version of flash.
[02:59] <ruffles> Samuli^: i prefer ubuntu as well
[02:59] <david__> ah
[02:59] <david__> k
[02:59] <bud> where do i put python scrips to make them work
[03:00] <sethk> bud, they don't have to be in any particular place
[03:00] <baconbacon> bud, theu can work anywhere if you make them executable
[03:00] <host`> wow, I jsut realized that my L2 chache is set at 256K
[03:00] <host`> I have 512K L2 cache
[03:00] <bud> ok thanks
[03:00] <BlueEagle> darkrhaven: For aim I recomend gaim or kopete. For downloading I recomend you actually BUY stuff for irc I recomend irssi or xchat and for myspace I recomend Opera or firefox.
[03:00] <Geoffrey2> what's a good PSX emulator for Ubuntu?
[03:01] <O2> BlueEagle: I have 1GB ram, and running only firefox, and xchat, then I only have no more than 300MB ram left free?
[03:01] <host`> would upgrading to the 686 kernel fix that or would I need to compile a kernel for it to recognize that?
[03:01] <sethk> O2, that can be misleading
[03:01] <baconbacon> host`: wouldn't cache settings be at the bios level
[03:01] <ruffles> Samuli^: did you know that mepis uses like 70% of packages straight from ubuntu repos?
[03:01] <LjL> Geoffrey2: the only one i can see in the repos is pcsx
[03:01] <wrabbit^> anybody able to help me out with the simplest of c code?
[03:02] <BlueEagle> o2: Why do you want ram to just sit there? It's a good thing to cache stuff you know so you can read from memory instead of from the disks.
[03:02] <ruffles> and even more...
[03:02] <BlueEagle> o2: ie. free memory is in most cases wasted memory.
[03:02] <avagant> How do I get the newer conversation without untaring it?
[03:02] <avagant> I'm on Ubuntu.
[03:02] <sethk> O2, linux does not recover memory released by an app until the kernel needs to give that memory to some other process.  So the amount of memory in use for a given process if often much higher than the real value.
[03:02] <BlueEagle> o2: You can add what is cached to the amount of free memory and get the amount of memory availible to applications.
[03:02] <host`> baconbacon, I would think so.. but the kernel is just recognizing the 256
[03:02] <LjL> !anybody > wrabbit^
[03:02] <sethk> O2, so what it means is that most of your memory has been used, not that most of your memory is unavailable.
[03:02] <baconbacon> !konversation
[03:02] <sedrake> if I have 1 ubuntu partition and 1 xp partition, with grub.. is it eaasy to just install a new windows partition and get it in bootloader?
[03:02] <ubotu> konversation: user friendly Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 0.19-0ubuntu4 (dapper), package size 4835 kB, installed size 11136 kB
[03:03] <O2> BlueEagle: After I close firefox, and the user-ram became 240.  it's 280 before
[03:03] <sethk> sedrake, easy for me.  Some people claim they have trouble doing it.
[03:03] <k0rd> any idea why my install is freezing up?
[03:03] <k0rd> Im using a ubuntu disc straight from Ubuntu
[03:03] <k0rd> so thats not it
[03:03] <wrabbit^> LjL: harsh
[03:03] <sethk> sedrake, windows has to be on the first partition of primary master, and you'll have to reinstall the boot loader if windows clobbers it.
[03:03] <Tru7h_> Can I install a printer for Ubuntu that's attached to another computer on my LAN, a Windows XP?
[03:03] <LjL> k0rd: that's no reason to exclude it... printed CDs may still come out wrong
[03:03] <sethk> k0rd, use the text mode install from the alternate cd
[03:04] <k0rd> Well they sent me 6 discs
[03:04] <jordan> 02, But you probably never touch swap.
[03:04] <viator> you want to rightclick?
[03:04] <k0rd> So i'll try another one
[03:04] <O2> sethk: I think you are right! user-ram must be how much ram we used
[03:04] <BlueEagle> o2: as sethk also pointed out. Linux doesn't clean up the memory unless it's about to run out. The memory that is not used at the moment does not equal the memory availible to applications.
[03:04] <viator> on your mac
[03:04] <sethk> Tru7h_, you can, and you use samba to make it look like a windows printer to the windows boxes.
[03:04] <jordan> viator, Yes.
[03:04] <viator> You could use the 'mouseemu' package (in the Universe repository). You can set it up to use e.g. Ctrl-click as right click etc
[03:04] <ruffles> is there any shortcut for pc locking already set on gnome?
[03:04] <BlueEagle> o2: As a general rule: You've got enough memory unless you notice the paging to swal.
[03:04] <BlueEagle> swap*
[03:04] <sethk> BlueEagle, right, that was what I think I said, although perhaps I wasn't clear.
[03:04] <Tru7h_> sethk: Alright. How do I do that?
[03:05] <jordan> viator, When I install mouseemu it breaks the mouse completely ( I can no longer move the cursor )
[03:05] <dougsko> ruffles: theres always xlock...i dont know if that fulfills what youre trying to do though
[03:05] <sethk> Tru7h_, CUPS can do most of it for you.
[03:05] <viator> heh sometimes
[03:05] <ruffles> dougsko: i've found it already.. it's control+alt+l :)
[03:05] <sethk> Tru7h_, there is a printing howto that is supposed to be quite good.  It might be...
[03:05] <sethk> !printing
[03:05] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[03:05] <ruffles> thanks anyway
[03:05] <wrabbit^> Would this be correct if I were to work out somebodies age in days, hours, minutes and seconds? (365*age)*24 / (60 * 60), days, hour, min, sec)
[03:05] <Tru7h_> sethk: Thanks!
[03:05] <dougsko> ruffles: np
[03:05] <sethk> Tru7h_, check that out.
[03:06] <Tru7h_> I'll do that.
[03:06] <turtletime> Is there any major difference betwwen ubuntu and kubuntu, besides window managers?
[03:06] <BlueEagle> o2: Here's a trick for you: Open a console and type: free -m
[03:06] <pls> ubuntu 6.06.1 i3  <--- is this still desktop version ?
[03:06] <ruffles> turtletime: nope
[03:06] <turtletime> coo
[03:06] <sethk> Tru7h_, come back if you still have questions, but you'll find most of what you need, hopefully all.
[03:06] <pls> I have it on disk and wanna know if its desktop or server
[03:06] <O2> the user-ram is 240MB.  After I run a emule, it became 246
[03:06] <BlueEagle> o2: look at how much swap you've been using. If it's more than say 32 then you might want to have a look-see at what's going on. :)
[03:06] <NewRhyme> !vm
[03:06] <ubotu> vm: A mail user agent for Emacs.. In component universe, is optional. Version 7.19-8 (dapper), package size 563 kB, installed size 2652 kB
[03:06] <pls> ubuntu 6.06.1 i3  <--- is this still desktop version ?
[03:06] <pls> I have it on disk and wanna know if its desktop or server
[03:07] <NewRhyme> !VMware
[03:07] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[03:07] <O2> swap, 0 byte, total 1GB
[03:07] <bruenig> pls, that is not enough information, to tell. There is ubuntu 6.06.1 i386 server and ubuntu 6.06.1 desktop
[03:07] <ruffles> pls: it can be both depending on you
[03:07] <pls> bruenig, any way of finding out ?
[03:07] <bruenig> put it in and see what options it gives you
[03:07] <pls> I'm running on windows ATM, its in the CD-Drive
[03:07] <pls> where do i go to see what it is ?
[03:07] <viator> jordan try f12
[03:07] <bruenig> turn the computer off and then reboot with it in the drive
[03:07] <turtletime> Whats the best software to use to play windows games in ubuntu?
[03:07] <O2> OK, I should take user-ram as the ram are in used!
[03:08] <Tru7h_> sethk: It mensions installing a printer using the printer wizard as the first step, but it doesn't elaborate. That's what I'm having troubles with ATM.
[03:08] <pls> bruenig, a solution without having to boot ?
[03:08] <turtletime> Is wine the best?
[03:08] <ruffles> pls: you can get a server or desktop workin' from within apt-gets
[03:08] <NewRhyme> !okle
[03:08] <dougsko> turtletime: wine/cedega
[03:08] <ubotu> okle: DVD player for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4+cvs20040728-5ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 127 kB, installed size 612 kB
[03:08] <ruffles> turtletime: crossover office is really good
[03:08] <BlueEagle> o2: Why is it important?
[03:08] <bruenig> pls that is the easiest way. You could probably extract the iso and see what kind of files are in it
[03:08] <O2> Oh, then, ubuntu really cost less ram than windowsxp
[03:08] <ruffles> turtletime: oh i'm sorry.. it's not for games thouhg
[03:08] <pls> bruenig, its extracted, what can i go to on the disk, to find out
[03:08] <ruffles> though*
[03:08] <pls> I'm looking at the files right now
[03:08] <jordan> viator, Doesn't work, it did when macs had their own specific version ( PPC Ubuntu ) but now they use the same version as PCs, so F12 doesn't work by default as right click.
[03:09] <BlueEagle> o2: Well that's given.
[03:09] <BlueEagle> :)
[03:09] <O2> BlueEagle: why not? I want to know, : )
[03:09] <bruenig> pls, well I have never looked at the server iso or the desktop iso for that matter, but look around for some graphical apps. If there are graphical apps, that means desktop
[03:09] <gif> how do I get to the console when booting with 6.06?
[03:09] <bruenig> things such as gnome would probably be a big tip off that it is desktop
[03:09] <gif> booting from the cd...
[03:09] <pls> yes the splash screen pops up and gives me an option to try out ubuntu witout install, it has Firefox, Grub..etc
[03:10] <O2> who can tell me why my realplayer plays rm file very slowly...
[03:10] <fildo> just to confirm . Ext3 / is user  partition ?
[03:10] <jordan> turtletime, Wine is the best FREE program, Cediga costs money but is better with games.
[03:10] <bruenig> pls, desktop it is then
[03:10] <pls> bruenig, thanks
[03:10] <turtletime> jordan: thanks
[03:10] <BlueEagle> gif: Applications -> accessories -> terminal
[03:10] <BlueEagle> gif: or CTRL+ALT+F1
[03:10] <dougsko> pls: yeah you can install any of the apps from the repos, no matter if its a "server" install or not
[03:10] <pls> ok
[03:10] <gif> during the boot process?
[03:10] <BlueEagle> gif: No.
[03:10] <BlueEagle> gif: When you've booted into X
[03:11] <pls> Now i have another problem.. it loads in this machine, but in my other machine, it doesnt boot and when i try to load it in windows, it hits me with crappy errors like "canot load CD, it might be in an unreadable format..etc"
[03:11] <jordan> turtletime, Most games won't work without some tweaking though unfortunately.
[03:11] <pls> But it boots from CD in this machine, and yes the boot order is fine in the other machine.
[03:11] <BlueEagle> pls: How old is the cd-rom in that other machine?
[03:11] <avagant> Is it possible to make debs out of rpms?
[03:11] <avagant> !rpm
[03:11] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[03:11] <bruenig> !info alien
[03:11] <fildo> is it a dvd rom u have?
[03:11] <ubotu> alien: install non-native packages with dpkg. In component main, is optional. Version 8.64 (dapper), package size 101 kB, installed size 276 kB
[03:11] <dougsko> avagant: yes, use an app called alien
[03:11] <avagant> Ah I see.
[03:11] <BlueEagle> pls: Old CD-roms had a weaker lazer and are less willing to read burned CDs.
[03:11] <bruenig> "but it's quite dangerous"
[03:12] <pls> BlueEagle, its a 52x CD-ROM
[03:12] <avagant> Yah that's what I read.
[03:12] <avagant> Dangerous as in how?
[03:12] <pls> BlueEagle, its a 52x CD-ROM Drive.
[03:12] <avagant> Someone is going to come out and slap your hand?
[03:12] <dougsko> avagant: it just doesnt always comvert the way it should
[03:12] <fildo> haha
[03:12] <avagant> Oh.
[03:12] <bruenig> don't know. Everything is dangerous if it isn't they way you are "supposed" to do things.
[03:12] <bruenig> automatix, etc.
[03:12] <dougsko> avagant: but in my experience its always worked pretty well
[03:12] <BlueEagle> pls: You might also want to use a lense cleaner of sorts. You could always try moving the cd-rom drive that you know to work over.
[03:12] <avagant> But I want the newest version of Konversation.
[03:12] <turtletime> How's linux/ubuntu support for dual core chips(amd x2)? Will I have any problems?
[03:13] <pls> BlueEagle, its crossed my mind :)
[03:13] <bruenig> avagant, compile the source...
[03:13] <avagant> I'm on like 9.0 something and it's up to like 1.01 super duper trooper.
[03:13] <FearBSD> how can i format a usb stick in ext2 under windows (important: i need a lowercase parition name)
[03:13] <maswan> turtletime: works perfectly fine for me
[03:13] <avagant> I've had nothing but bad luck compiling anything.
[03:13] <ruffles> !automatix
[03:13] <FearBSD> anybody?
[03:13] <ubotu> automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://www.getautomatix.com/ ; For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[03:13] <turtletime> maswan: sweet
[03:13] <CVirus> what type of processor shall I choose while compiling a kernel for an Intel Core Duo processor ?
[03:13] <ruffles> CVirus: smp
[03:13] <pls> BlueEagle, taking CD-ROM Drive into other machine
[03:13] <pls> brb
[03:13] <avagant> Usually either I don't have the right dependencies, or it doesn't end up working anyways so I have to delete it.
[03:13] <ruffles> i686
[03:13] <BlueEagle> pls: Either that or you can get those blank cd-r disks as they tend to reflect more light than the green ones.
[03:14] <jordan> FearBSD, If you are still trying to make that bootable thumb drive, I don't think it has to be ext3, fat should be fine.
[03:14] <bruenig> I have not compiled anything on this installed but have before and never had any real problems.
[03:14] <avagant> Take for example last.fm and last-exit.
[03:14] <BlueEagle> cvirus: i686 and SMP iirc
[03:14] <bruenig> installation*
[03:14] <avagant> I haven't compiled anything..........
[03:14] <avagant> ....et
[03:14] <avagant> yet
[03:14] <bruenig> avagant, just watch as it goes down the checklist of dependencies and where it fails, go find that
[03:14] <CVirus> BlueEagle: ruffles: I said when compiling a custom vanilla kernel
[03:14] <CVirus> those choices in menuconfig
[03:14] <bruenig> usually an apt-cache search of whatever it says you don't have will put up whatever it is you need
[03:15] <ruffles> CVirus: i have the impression that core due processors are 64bits
[03:15] <fildo> bruenig: somestimes easier said then done
[03:15] <CVirus> ruffles: no they arent
[03:15] <BlueEagle> cvirus: Can't you choose 686 there?
[03:15] <avagant> The new Konversation includes a script for xmms, and I'm a nerd enough that I want people to see what I'm listening to :D
[03:15] <CVirus> BlueEagle: nope
[03:15] <fildo> avagant: yeh but gives dep issues .
[03:15] <avagant> O rly?
[03:15] <bruenig> I say it and do it equally as easy. In fact explaining how I apt-cache search takes more keystrokes than doing an apt-cache search.
[03:15] <fildo> when i try n install
[03:15] <avagant> I wish I knew how to write a script myself or I would.
[03:16] <BlueEagle> avagant: No, you don't want that. You might think you do, but you really really do not want that.
[03:16] <fildo> not too hard to do
[03:16] <CVirus> avagant: learn bash scripting
[03:16] <avagant> bash scriptttingggg.
[03:16] <fildo> sh !
[03:16] <avagant> I'm sure it's not too terribly hard.
[03:16] <ruffles> avagant: open your text editor and start the scrip with #/bin/bash
[03:16] <ruffles> avagant: that's a good start
[03:16] <avagant> Hahaha
[03:16] <fildo> shell scriptoring
[03:16] <avagant> !bash
[03:16] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[03:16] <bruenig> avagant, believe me, people in IRC love to see what you are playing at the moment. Nothing better than a /me informing of that priceless information.
[03:16] <jrcjr> I'm kinda confused about which version of Ubuntu or Kubuntu to use. I have a Pentium D system that is supposedly 64 bit compliant through EMT64. Do I still use the i386 versions, or something else?
[03:17] <jordan> FearBSD, Are you still trying to make that bootable thumb drive?
[03:17] <avagant> Hahaha bruenig I sense some sarcasm.
[03:17] <avagant> I COULD be wrong.
[03:17] <bruenig> MAYBE
[03:17] <BlueEagle> avagant: No, you couldn't
[03:17] <lansing> hey ppl can some one help me i need to know of a program i coould use for downloadin music
[03:17] <avagant> hahaha
[03:17] <avagant> Cracks me up.
[03:17] <BlueEagle> lansing: http://cdon.com
[03:17] <BlueEagle> lansing: ;)
[03:17] <turtletime> I have a RAID 5, do I need to download the Alternate Install cd ?
[03:18] <avagant> You know what else does? Reinstalling SIX times.
[03:18] <host`> lansing, shareaza
[03:18] <lansing> for ubuntu
[03:18] <bruenig> I thought about trying to write a script to do that because I became enamored at how many people were doing it but then figured it was stupid. Avagant, you can probably find a ready made script online
[03:18] <avagant> Probably.
[03:18] <bruenig> lansing, firefox downloads a lot of stuff via http and other familiar protocols
[03:18] <avagant> That's actually what I'm trying to find.
[03:19] <lansing> ok
[03:19] <lansing> thanx
[03:19] <jordan> FearBSD, Are you still trying to make that bootable thumb drive?
[03:19] <prestosd> Hey all!!
[03:19] <fildo> thumb drive?
[03:19] <bruenig> !hi
[03:19] <ubotu> Hi!  Just sayin'.
[03:21] <BlueEagle> avagant: Turn the brightness to max and then let the picture stay on the monitor for about a month and then turn your monitor off.
[03:21] <avagant> Hahahaha.
[03:21] <BlueEagle> avagant: ;D
[03:21] <avagant> Why aren't you guys comedians?
[03:22] <BlueEagle> avagant: Because you're the one being comical here.
[03:22] <avagant> This monitor is bad enough.
[03:22] <BlueEagle> ;D
[03:22] <jrcjr> Hello
[03:22] <avagant> xD
[03:22] <bruenig> !hi
[03:22] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:22] <fildo> !hi
[03:22] <avagant> !bye
[03:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bye - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:22] <bruenig> beat you loser
[03:22] <fildo> !hi > bruenig
[03:22] <bruenig> stop stealing my factoid triggers
[03:22] <avagant> I don't even know what my computer has on it to tell you the truth.
[03:22] <lansing> onece i download the program it comes up wit an error
[03:23] <jrcjr> I'm kinda confused about which version of Ubuntu or Kubuntu to use. I have a Pentium D system that is supposedly 64 bit compliant through EMT64. Do I still use the i386 versions, or something else?
[03:23] <avagant> So even if I wanted the most 1337 video whatever it probably wouldn't work.
[03:23] <fildo> haha
[03:23] <fildo> xorg.conf
[03:23] <avagant> That's what I get for buying off Craigslist.
[03:23] <fildo> n find out
[03:23] <bruenig> I am not big on hardware either. I have some prefab computer and I really only looked at RAM and processor and HD space. Other than that, I didn't really take care to notice
[03:23] <fildo> or modprobe .
[03:23] <BlueEagle> avagant: "most 1337 video"?
[03:23] <avagant> Elite?
[03:23] <avagant> HAX0R
[03:24] <fildo> lol
[03:24] <avagant> Whoops off topic.
[03:24] <fildo> u must be 12
[03:24] <avagant> 12 going on 25.
[03:24] <BlueEagle> avagant: That would be divX run trough aalib in a 200x180 terminal
[03:24] <avagant> Or the other way around.
[03:24] <bruenig> nothing better than that vesa driver to tip me off to what kind of video card I have
[03:24] <bruenig> good idea fildo
[03:24] <avagant> I want a massive sound system so I can get blown away like in those commercials with the guy sitting in the chair watching tv.
[03:24] <avagant> I think that'd be pretty neat.
[03:25] <avagant> But for now I'll stick to my 5 dollar headphones.
[03:25] <fildo> #offtopic dude
[03:25] <avagant> true that homes.
[03:25] <fildo> alsaa rocks
[03:25] <bruenig> !offtopic
[03:25] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:25] <avagant> alsa is pretty nice, when you get it working.
[03:25] <fildo> out of box for me
[03:25] <FearBSD> jordan: yes
[03:25] <fildo> never had any issues
[03:25] <avagant> When you realize going through all those extra steps and spending 3 days doing it was worthless.
[03:25] <fildo> only probably ive had is with wifi
[03:25] <jordan> I just wanted to save you the trouble of trying to format it as ext3 in windows because it is actually supposed to be fat32.
[03:25] <FearBSD> jordan: i need a linux here rarely
[03:25] <fildo> but thatts cause my n/b has a crappy ipw2100
[03:26] <freemind> !seen holycow

[03:26] <Michael-DK> Hi anyone know how to install ATER-theme for gaim
[03:26] <jordan> FearBSD, I just wanted to save you the trouble of trying to format it as ext3 in windows because it is actually supposed to be fat32.
[03:26] <freemind> holycow, hello mate
[03:26] <cr-tablet> my mplayer keeps freazing up, long before it goes to actually play the file with : Using MMX (with tiny bit MMX2) Optimized OnScreenDisplay
[03:26] <avagant> !seen jordan
[03:26] <ubotu> jordan is on IRC right now!
[03:26] <Michael-DK> using ubuntu 6.06.1
[03:26] <chrometiger> how do u login as root, and/or  do a terminal command as root or say "create a folder on my desktop linked to /home/user/c  my windows partition"   cuz it wont let me unless im root
[03:26] <avagant> sudo
[03:26] <jordan> !sudo
[03:26] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:26] <fildo> or su
[03:26] <avagant> wait, so what was I looking for online again?
[03:26] <BlueEagle> !theme
[03:26] <ubotu> Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://kdelook.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[03:26] <freemind> try "whatis" binary
[03:26] <chrometiger> k
[03:26] <avagant> Oh yah.
[03:27] <FearBSD> yes they say i need both, a fat32 and a ext2. is the ext2 not important?
[03:27] <FearBSD> jordan: @
[03:27] <chrometiger> i couldn't find that on ubuntu.com  thanx
[03:27] <fildo> brb smokee
[03:27] <lansing> ive installed shareza wat do ido now
[03:27] <viator> what do old mac laptops use for rightclick?
[03:28] <jordan> FearBSD, Sorry, Didn't see that, I thought they gave a program for doing that in windows in that tutorial.
[03:28] <avagant> Are you kidding, the first place I'd NEVER look would be ubuntu.com.
[03:28] <Tru7h_> Hold Control down while clicking. (@viator)
[03:28] <avagant> Or ubuntuforums.org
[03:28] <avagant> !ubuntuforums
[03:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntuforums - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:28] <lansing> iam new to ubuntu
[03:28] <viator> so you could use hotkeys or somthing
[03:29] <avagant> Script for xmms, right.
[03:29] <reader> hi
[03:29] <jordan> FearBSD, I see now, you only need the ext2 partition for the persistance feature, which you don't need.
[03:29] <turtletime> ok, I'm reading some bad things about installing ubuntu onto a raid array, what's the verdict?  Is it a pain?
[03:30] <jordan> FearBSD, But as that guide is made for persistence, I don't know what will happen without it.
[03:30] <Michael-DK> hi anyone of you, using GTK2 ATER-theme for xmms and also using it for gaim?????
[03:30] <cr-tablet> turtletime: i have a friend with the some problems and Rad0
[03:31] <jordan> FearBSD, It is MUCH easier to do if you don't have to deal with persistence, let me see if I can find a better tutorial.
[03:31] <turtletime> cr-tablet: did he end up getting it installed?
[03:31] <cr-tablet> turtletime: i'm going to go help him sometime, but no, he did not
[03:32] <Michael-DK> avagant hey u know how to install GTK gaim themes??
[03:33] <avagant> Negative.
[03:34] <jeff_> is this the place to ask an edgy question?
[03:34] <LjL> !edgy
[03:34] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[03:34] <avagant> !schedule
[03:34] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[03:34] <avagant> See, I was always curious, what's the difference in edgy?
[03:34] <LjL> what difference?
[03:34] <lansing> is there a nuber that i can call for a ubuntu rep
[03:35] <host`> what's wrong lansing?
[03:35] <avagant> Edgy or Dapper.
[03:35] <avagant> Is there a difference?
[03:35] <lansing> i need some help on installing a music downloader for ubuntu
[03:36] <jordan> jeff_, #Ubuntu+1
[03:36] <host`> I thought you installed shareaza?
[03:36] <LjL> avagant: Dapper is the current version. Edgy is the version that's being developed right now, i.e. the next version, which is currently experimental.
[03:36] <LjL> avagant: sometime this month, Edgy will become the new latest stable version
[03:36] <lansing> ive tryed but it comes up wit an error
[03:36] <avagant> Well I mean, like has anyone seen a difference between the 2?
[03:37] <avagant> Or is it just ubuntu plus one?
[03:37] <jeff_> jordan: thanks
[03:37] <host`> can I download edgy now?
[03:37] <jordan> host`, Yes.
[03:37] <TigerWolf> host`: yes
[03:38] <TigerWolf> host`: but its beta
[03:38] <Michael-DK> http://www.taimila.com/index.php found a nice site here:-P
[03:39] <FearBSD> jordan: sorry my windows broke. did you get my last question with ext2?
[03:39] <FearBSD> do i need it or not?
[03:39] <FearBSD> or only fat32
[03:39] <Michael-DK> dosnt anyone here use ATER-them for xmms/Mplayer/gaim?????
[03:40] <jordan> FearBSD, You only need fat, but those instructions might not work without ext2.
[03:40] <host`> can apt-get it?
[03:40] <host`> or would I need to download a cd?
[03:41] <dan2> what's going on with the http servers?
[03:41] <jordan> FearBSD, Those instructions do more than just make a bootable USB drive, it has a feature called persistence, but you don't need that, so you don't need ext2.
[03:41] <dan2> how come I can't connect to most of them
[03:41] <btdown> download edgy at cdimage.ubuntu.com
[03:41] <FearBSD> jordan: could you quickly review it so you can tell me if i really need it for this guide or not?
[03:41] <dan2> btdown: I don't want edgy yet
[03:41] <jordan> FearBSD, Sure.
[03:41] <FearBSD> jordan: persistence? what's that
[03:41] <lansing> so is there a tollfree number that i can call
[03:42] <btdown> dan2 that was to host`
[03:42] <FearBSD> jordan: i only want to boot and install from it
[03:42] <Michael-DK> why a change i like 6.0.6:)
[03:42] <Michael-DK> 6.06
[03:43] <jordan> FearBSD, It lets you save settings / install applications on the usb drive, which you don't need if all you want to use it for is to install Ubuntu on your hard drive.
[03:43] <FearBSD> jordan: do i need this strange hp foramt with those files on it or only simple fat32 in my case?
[03:43] <FearBSD> i made a strange file sys with this hp tool
[03:43] <FearBSD> not sure wether i need it or not without persistence thing
[03:43] <dan2> what happened to dapper on all the servers?
[03:44] <Flannel> dan2: nothing?
[03:44] <dan2> Flannel: what happens when you run apt-get update
[03:44] <dan2> all the dapper ones are failing
[03:44] <dan2> 404s
[03:44] <Flannel> dan2: I'm on breezy, so I don't know.  Why?  dapper ones?  are you running dpaper?  are you using the us mirror?
[03:44] <dan2> Flannel: was using the us mirror
[03:44] <FearBSD> jordan: now that would be nice
[03:44] <dan2> it was slower than dirt
[03:44] <dan2> so I changed through a few mirrors
[03:44] <FearBSD> but for now i take the non persistance way
[03:44] <dan2> issues with all of them
[03:45] <Flannel> dan2: pastebin your sources.list
[03:45] <FearBSD> so if i got this right now: i only need to have a clean fa32 filesys and copy all files from the live iso to it?
[03:46] <dan2> Flannel: http://rafb.net/paste/results/94tYQT62.html
[03:47] <jordan> FearBSD, I am pretty sure you only need fat32, these instructions should still work.
[03:47] <dan2> Flannel: I'm retarded I guess
[03:47] <dan2> Flannel: I think I copied in a CD mirror and not a package mirror
[03:49] <jordan> FearBSD, Following the isnsructions minus step 2 ( partitioning ) will work.
[03:50] <Flannel> dan2: right, that looks like a mirror and not a repository, try !source-o-matic
[03:52] <BlueSwirl> does anyone have any experience with dual booting mac os and ubuntu?
[03:52] <avagant> Uptime: 4 hours and 38 minutes
[03:52] <FearBSD> jordan: you know a program which can be used to make ext2 from windows?
[03:52] <Flannel> !tell BlueSwirl about dualboot
[03:52] <BlueSwirl> ooh, cheers :D
[03:52] <FearBSD> jordan: i decided to have persistance
[03:53] <skeith> Has there been a decision about firefox in Ubuntu?
[03:54] <Ruffles> skeith: it's been updated today and it still keeps the name and logo without the fox...
[03:54] <tritium> skeith: what do you mean?
[03:54] <jordan> FearBSD, I have no clue, you might want to just create withought persistence, install Ubuntu, and then add the ext2 partition ( it will 'just work' once you add the partition even though you didn't have it when you set it up )
[03:54] <BlueSwirl> oops, Flannel, can you send me those links again?
[03:55] <arnducky> Have they fixed the (*^#%5ing fatal (crash/freeze) bugs in Firefox yet!?
[03:55] <freemind> BlueSwirl: of course I can, please wait a moment
[03:55] <Flannel> skeith: !tell BlueSwirl about dualboot
[03:55] <knix> us.archive.ubuntu.com down?
[03:55] <Flannel> knix: it's not uncommon
[03:55] <jordan> FearBSD, It will take all of 10 minutes to install Ubuntu, then you can add the partition from there easily with gparted.

[03:56] <BlueSwirl> um, they didn't pop up that time...
[03:56] <Shaezsche> anyone know how to get the intel 3945 wireless working in dapper? it works fine in many new distros like mandriva
[03:57] <tritium> Shaezsche: the module should auto-load.  Is it not loaded?
[03:57] <FearBSD> jordan: ok good idea to have the ext2 later on
[03:57] <Shaezsche> tritium well if it is autoloading its still not working
[03:57] <FearBSD> jordan: will be an easy job with gparted, thx for your help
[03:57] <mngrif> how do I get amarok to play flac?
[03:57] <Shaezsche> it "might" have something to do with wpa
[03:57] <jordan> FearBSD, Keep me updated, I might want to do this myself if it works :)
[03:57] <Shaezsche> is there a better front end for configuring wireless? and wpa
[03:58] <tritium> Shaezsche: indeed it might.  If you can, get it working without wep or wpa before you enable them.
[03:58] <Shaezsche> is wpa easy to configure
[03:58] <fuffalo> i've got a new ubuntu box that i'm trying to get working with wireless - it seems like my wireless card is detected fine and it detects networks in my area, but when i try to connect it just says "configuring ath0" for a long time, and then doesn't give me errors - but it doens't work
[03:58] <Shaezsche> many new distros have a front end for it
[03:58] <fuffalo> any ideas?
[03:58] <tritium> Shaezsche: network-manager-gnome is pretty decent, and will require wpasupplicant.  Yes, wpa is easy to configure.
[03:58] <tritium> !wireless
[03:58] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:58] <Shaezsche> how? wpasupp is installed
[03:58] <Shaezsche> i dont want to edit text files i athe that
[03:58] <tritium> see above
[03:59] <BlueSwirl> never mind, got it back. thanks, Flannel
[03:59] <tritium> Shaezsche: then use network-manager
[04:00] <s_spiff> can someone tell me how to fix broken packages?
[04:00] <freemind> s_spiff: apt-get -f install
[04:00] <fuffalo> i've got a new ubuntu box that i'm trying to get working with wireless - it seems like my wireless card is detected fine and it detects networks in my area, but when i try to connect it just says "configuring ath0" for a long time, and then doesn't give me errors - but it doens't work
[04:01] <Shaezsche> network manager doesnt have a wpa box, only wep
[04:01] <freemind> fuffalo: check "dmesg"
[04:01] <fuffalo> freemind, ok one sec
[04:02] <Flannel> !tell Shaezsche about wpa
[04:02] <freemind> Shaezsche: you need wpasupplicant
[04:03] <Lil_Shank> i just used cfdisk to get rid of my windows partition, and i would like to know if theres a way to combine my free partition with my linux partition?
[04:03] <fuffalo> !tell fuffalo about wpa
[04:04] <mzuverink> According to the PLF site, they are no longer going to maintain the mirrors, does that mean no more plf stuff?
[04:04] <grok> Lil_Shank: the linux partitions (ext3 partitions) can
[04:04] <Flannel> mzuverink: you'd have to ask them that
[04:04] <s_spiff> freemind
[04:04] <grok> Lil_shank: sorry, they can't be resized. to make it bigger you'd have to reisntall linux
[04:04] <Lil_Shank> ok
[04:04] <freemind> s_spiff
[04:05] <s_spiff> freemind, i did that. But when I try to uninstall sunjava 5 i get the same error
[04:05] <BlueSwirl> just quick question about dual booting os x and ubuntu... does it matter where my linux partition is on the hard drive? most tutorials say at the start, but mine is at the start
[04:05] <BlueSwirl> *end
[04:05] <s_spiff> to install broken packages.
[04:05] <Lil_Shank> is there a way i can change the Free Space into a new ext3 partition to combine them?
[04:05] <SkyMountaineer> who would like to help me with a sound card issue :)
[04:05] <lansing> is there a number that i can  call for assistance
[04:05] <freemind> s_spiff: try --purge remove
[04:05] <Flannel> Lil_Shank: of course
[04:05] <s_spiff> ok
[04:05] <Flannel> Lil_Shank: any partitioner will turn it into an ext3 partition
[04:06] <host`> umm
[04:06] <Flannel> lansing: you're probably in the best place for help currently
[04:06] <grok> Blueswirl: no it doesn't matter, i have my windows at the start and my linux at around 17 gigs (near the end)
[04:06] <lansing> k
[04:06] <host`> I'm in fluxbox and I just selected to go to "metacity" and I want to go back but can't figure out how to
