[02:50] <rexus> yes.. that's it, does 7.10 got compiz-fusion?
[02:50] <fimmtiu> kelsin: Bizarre! I guess there's nothing for it but to dive into libc and look for the bug there -- but I can't imagine that I'm the first or only person to notice this!

[02:51] <jmaddude>  hey I have a noob question-- which version of ubuntu can I download so that it will work on an old mac powerpc G4 laptop?
[02:51] <IanLiu> I installed FlashPlayer on FireFox, but it is not working
[02:51] <IanLiu> any tips?

[02:52] <zenrium> hi
[02:52] <scguy318> IanLiu: did you watch the terminal messages?
[02:52] <dafyre> IanLiu: I wound up having to download the install file from Adobe's website.
[02:52] <kelsin> fimmtiu: you said it was happening on a bigger test case, I assume then it's not just the compiler aggressivly freeing memory when it knows you're about to exit?
[02:52] <juano__> rexus: yes, you will need to install from synaptic compiz-config-settings-manager to configure desktop cube and some other advanced effects
[02:52] <scguy318> IanLiu, dafyre: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890
[02:53] <fimmtiu> kelsin: The bigger test cases are wxWidgets applications.
[02:53] <Mudbug1950> Hello Room
[02:53] <fimmtiu> Which work fine on other machines, but not on Ubuntu.
[02:53] <alex__> can anyone help me with changing the font color of my gnome panel?
[02:53] <alex__> i tried adding the .gtkrc-2.0 file and that didn't work
[02:53] <rexus> ok guys, here's the issue, my internet connection is limited to 1 Gig, so sometimes I need to collect the packages so that when I needed to re-install the whole ubuntu, I can just run that packages
[02:54] <kelsin> fimmtiu: very very odd, good luck with it :-(
[02:54] <jmaddude> which version of ubuntu can I download so that it will work on an old mac powerpc G4 laptop?
[02:54] <rexus> does the repository have that .deb file?
[02:54] <fimmtiu> Thanks. :-(
[02:54] <dafyre> scguy:  Thanks. :)
[02:54] <chaosrl> jmaddude: gutsy should work fine i think, someone can correct me who knows more
[02:54] <kelsin> rexus: ubuntu comes on one cd, that's way under a gig
[02:54] <juano__> rexus: you mean you want to donwload the deb files
[02:54] <naes> what kind of hardware specs jmaddude?
[02:55] <kelsin> rexus: or if you have a working ubuntu install you can tell apt-get to only download the packages and not install them
[02:55] <jmaddude> thanks, it just gives the option of intel or pentium
[02:55] <badkitty> how do I copy all the contents of a folder to the parent folder (similar to DOS: copy *.* c:\folder) without copying the folder
[02:55] <scguy318> !aptoncd | rexus
[02:55] <ubotu> rexus: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers
[02:55] <Avt> sensors dont work man and I installed xsensors and if I maximize it its all grey lol
[02:55] <iuri> join
[02:55] <rexus> yes that's right juano
[02:55] <kelsin> rexus: but install right from that site is a pain cause you'd have to get all the dependencies too
[02:55] <scguy318> Avt: try running sudo sensors-detect
[02:55] <chaosrl> jmaddude: ah. hmm i'm not too sure
[02:55] <chaosrl> here
[02:55] <Avt> k
[02:55] <chaosrl> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427714
[02:55] <alex__> badkitty: cp works the the same way as copy
[02:55] <juano__> rexus: and have a seperate copy of them so when you install everything from scratch you got them without having to download them again ?
[02:55] <scguy318> Avt: then modprobing the modules it found
[02:55] <rexus> ok, then where's the apt-get stored the packages?
[02:55] <badkitty> alex: yes but when I try to do that it copies the folder name as well
[02:55] <jmaddude> thanks a lot
[02:55] <chaosrl> jmaddude: looks like you'll need to get Feisty fawn: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427714
[02:55] <chaosrl> yeah
[02:55] <chaosrl> np
[02:56] <scguy318> rexus: /var/cache/someting
[02:56] <alex__> oh sorry, didn't read the whole thing
[02:56] <jmaddude> yeah i can live with ff
[02:56] <kelsin> badkitty: if I understnad you right then: cp -r * ../
[02:56] <kelsin> badkitty: the -r means recursive, and ../ means the parent (just like in dos)
[02:56] <marx2k>  Is there an option in Samba to turn on/off requests for username/password to browse the samba network?
[02:56] <rexus> that's correct juano...
[02:56] <Avt> scguy318 its saying We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
[02:56] <Avt> Load `i2c-i801' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no):
[02:56] <chaosrl> ff worked better than gg for me actually, though i'm still running gg
[02:56] <kelsin> badkitty: if you are in a folder and want to copy files into it, it's just "cp -r * new-folder/" it won't copy the folder into itself automatically
[02:56] <zenrium> I have this issue where if I use ctl+alt+arrow to switch my desktop it skips desktops.. any ideas?
[02:57] <Sammy_> had that too
[02:57] <Avt> scguy318 should I pick yes or no?
[02:57] <Sammy_> now my cube wont rotate for some odd reason
[02:57] <juano__> rexus: you can download them through the web, let me link you
[02:57] <DrivenMad> We have had problems with people runing CAIN and doing ARP posioning. Any sugestions on a counter for this?? i came up with static arp tables...

[02:58] <scguy318> Avt: yes
[02:58] <scguy318> Avt: to all
[02:58] <kelsin> marx2k: there are options, not through the simple ubuntu samba gui though. You can look up samba turorials and edit the samba config yourself though. You can turn off security, or set other types of security etc
[02:58] <zenrium> sammy_ : are you sure its even in cube mode?  if the x windows driver has changed (for me from nvidia to nv) I dont get a cube anymore.
[02:58] <juano__> rexus: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[02:58] <juano__> rexus: try that site
[02:58] <marx2k> kelsin: Im using gsambad for samba configuration.. its pretty detailed
[02:58] <Sammy_> ya all that is configure correct ly she just stopped workin for me
[02:58] <rexus> done juano.. thanks
[02:58] <kelsin> marx2k: I don't have experience with that program, sorry
[02:59] <juano__> rexus: np, anytime
[02:59] <naes> sammy wut ur prob?
[02:59] <zenrium> sammy_ : under the system - preferences - advanced desktop effects - general options check to make sure that the number of desktops is set correctly too ?
[02:59] <Avt> scguy318 I have a P4 prescott cpu

[02:59] <Sammy_> ive a nvidia driver??
[03:00] <Avt> I did all yes same thing
[03:00] <scguy318> Avt: what modules did it detect?
[03:00] <scguy318> Avt: do sudo modprobe nameofamodule for each
[03:00] <Avt> it kept saying no no no no
[03:00] <rexus> if ubuntu has a new version in 6 months, how long does each version be supported ?
[03:01] <Sammy_>  zenrium - wud my driver config have got changed some how but all my other effects work
[03:01] <zenrium> sammy_: I find that the number of desktops reverts to 1 sometimes :\  you can check the nvidia driver by going to system -  administration - restricted drivers manager ...
[03:01] <zenrium> sammy_: you cal also run from a terminal -  sudo nvidia-settings  to check more about the nvidia side
[03:01] <scguy318> Avt: so what modules did it detect? anything?
[03:01] <Avt> nothin
[03:01] <Sammy_>  zenrium - ya its on
[03:01] <scguy318> Avt: if none might be a bit out of luck

[03:08] <Kuropon> is it possible for somehow Ubuntu interfering with my Firefox plugins?
[03:08] <zenrium> sammy: another you thing you could try is the  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server process
[03:08] <roadfish> one thing that I don't like about pidgin is that it doesn't use the old animated smileys supplied by Yahoo ... but the old gaim does use those smileys
[03:08] <sky_> PriceChild: oh it's a known bug? that's good. thanks! Where can I check the status of the bug?
[03:08] <scguy318> Avt: then do

[03:08] <naes> sky_ there are bugs to the flash plugin search the forums, i have a link that might work for you one sec

[03:09] <zenrium> which goes for you too tony_math try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server  to get the keyboard settings for xorg to be the same as what gnome thinks..

[03:11] <bjbum> so no one knows? about upnp media clients for linux? :( The daap itunes uses won't let non-itunes 7 clients access the music now. but i've got my imac set up as an upnp media server that my ps3 plays music off of. trying to find out if there's a client for linux that'll allow me to stream music from my imac
[03:12] <scguy318> CarlFK: try passing in all_generic_ide kernel boot
[03:12] <mlissner> I'm in the wrong place, but I'm trying to figure out IRC...can somebody point me towards a Java IRC channel?
[03:12] <zenrium> carlfk : is this qemu on a PPC?
[03:12] <Avt> its in c I want f
[03:12] <mlissner> I should add that I'm a complete IRC idiot.
[03:12] <naes> this is an IRC isn't it?
[03:12] <kelsin> bjbum: rhythmbox and banshee both allow you to listen to <7 itunes shares if that's what you're asking
[03:13] <zenrium> bjbum: happy to admit my ignorance on that one.
[03:13] <scguy318> naes: this is an IRC channel, IRC is a protocol
[03:13] <scguy318> bjbum: probably something in MythTV might have the functionality, and theres something called djmount that I found via Google
[03:13] <naes> good form

[03:14] <mlissner> scguy318: OK...admitting further ignorance: can you tell me how to join it?
[03:15] <CarlFK> zenrium: nope - x86 (or whatever 'normal' is)
[03:15] <TigranG> Avt: C to F
[03:15] <zenrium> sammy_  the driver specified in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file - if it is set to nvidia it should be the restricted driver one which makes the desktop effects work.  if its nv then its the older nvidia driver and when I use that one I don't get desktop effects.
[03:15] <scguy318> CarlFK: at the isolinux boot menu, press F6, then space, all_generic_ide, enter

[03:23] <CTho_> /dev/audio is in use.  how do i figure out what's locking it?
[03:23] <scguy318> mlissner: /j ##java?

[03:24] <CTho_> scguy318: no results, unfortunately
[03:24] <zenrium> r3n0c:  I think... sudo ln -s /dev/video /dev/video0 will do it
[03:24] <memoryLenin> is there anybody who could help me with a networking issue?
[03:24] <scguy318> r3n0c: or start with camorama --device=/dev/vide0 or something
[03:24] <scguy318> r3n0c: i dont have the man page in front of me
[03:25] <r3n0c> zenrium, video already has apointer to video0
[03:25] <scguy318> r3n0c: camorama -D /dev/video0

[03:25] <scguy318> mlissner: weird, um
[03:25] <WildnQIk> what package would bunutu use for pop3
[03:25] <zenrium> r3n0c : k then what scguy says may work but if it doesnt then that prob means something is locking the device and you need to work out what to free it up
[03:25] <Avt> here see my temaps screenshot http://img528.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmn5.jpg
[03:25] <Avt> what you guys think?

[03:26] <Avt> ty
[03:26] <zenrium> avt:  they look fine to me... if your not experiencing lock ups or erractic graphics your fine also
[03:26] <r3n0c> scguy318, gspca?
[03:27] <scguy318> r3n0c: kernel module for certain webcam chipsets
[03:27] <scguy318> r3n0c: wish I knew more
[03:27] <r3n0c> scguy318,  o lol, argh
[03:27] <Avt> scguy318 I tore a napkin in half and using it over fan as filter
[03:27] <zenrium> r3n0c : you did say you had tried to run xawtv before the camero thing right? is there a rogue xawtv process still running you need to kill?
[03:27] <Avt> its half a ply
[03:27] <memoryLenin> anybody who could help me with a networking issue real quick?
[03:27] <zenrium> depends on the issue memory :P
[03:27] <r3n0c> zenrium,  no, when i try to run xawtv it goes to a black screen, the webcam light blinks 1x and i can't get out of it, so i have to restart
[03:28] <scguy318> Avt: filter for what?
[03:28] <r3n0c> zenrium, i removed xawtv after that
[03:28] <zenrium> r3n0c : ok :(

[03:28] <ubotu> memoryLenin: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:28] <Avt> dust theres alot in NY
[03:28] <memoryLenin> zenrium: when i go to connect to a network, it will take forever and not install, and sometimes it will install, but will shortly lose the connection and i won't be able to connect again.
[03:28] <Sande1> Mudbug, do you get my private messages?
[03:28] <scguy318> Avt: a napkin isn't that great a filter :P
[03:28] <B_166-ER-X> !sound
[03:28] <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 that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[03:28] <zenrium> avt : lol man thats prob not the best idea ;)
[03:28] <Voyage__> using firestarter. but it auto vanishes from sys tray. why.. its not runing i guess if its not in the tray.     and how to auto start it on every sys boot. (keep it runing all the time. auto)
[03:28] <Mudbug1950> Sandel: no I didn't
[03:29] <Sande1> erm, ok, Im using pidgin for chatting :(
[03:29] <whatevr> hey peoples
[03:29] <zenrium> Also if you are having problems with Microphones under Gutsy with say teamspeak its probably a aumix bug thats been reported
[03:29] <roadfish> how do I tell linux to update the values in "/dev/disk/by-uuid"?
[03:29] <Sande1> Following problem, just installed Ubuntu 7.10 form a live cd on a free slave harddisk of 80 gigs, primary hd has Vista on it
[03:30] <Sande1> Now I get with starting up Grub error 17
[03:30] <zenrium> memorylenin : this is a wireless network I presume?  what does your  ifconfig show?  and theres prob some info in sudo tail /var/log/messages as well
[03:30] <Sande1> Third harddisk is a SATA harddisk of 160 gig, not used...
[03:30] <whatevr> I just installed ubuntu 7.10 no a machine, and when ever the gui starts, it mucks up and all I see is a navy blue screen with horizonal lines across the screen
[03:30] <lovedeatm> im using gaim..is the anyway to have it sense a message that has been sent and have it react to that message. so for instance if someone said hey that woudl tell gaim to shutdown?
[03:30] <Sande1> master and slave are PATA
[03:30] <whatevr> I am suspecting it is a driver issue... how can I fix this?

[03:31] <tony_math> zenrium: The solution you gave me worked. I typed sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and went through the prompts to reconfigure X to be consistent with GNOME. The error message that I was getting about X keyboard settings being different from GNOME has gone. Thanks! :)
[03:31] <LiMaO> lovedeatm: there's a way to do that, just browse thru the menus and you'll find it
[03:31]  * Sande1 is following link of zenrium - Thanks!
[03:31] <zenrium> woot :) I helped someone today :D
[03:31] <wy> Is there a convenient way to install fonts?
[03:31] <KyleS> lol
[03:31] <KyleS> yah, automatix2
[03:32] <LiMaO> wy: open up a browser window and load folder fonts:///
[03:32] <lovedeatm> limao, the only thing i see closest to that is prepend to string
[03:32] <LiMaO> wy: then just copy the fonts you want to install to that folder
[03:32] <bjbum> anyone here ever install djmount?
[03:33] <wy> LiMaO: You mean the file browser?
[03:33] <LiMaO> wy: yeah, file browser window, sorry
[03:33] <Sande1> Zenrium, I'll be right back to try the bios sollution, not sure if it will help as I can't detect the SATA harddisk in BIOS as it has its own bios
[03:33] <Sande1> brb
[03:33] <zenrium> whatevr:  I think for the third time today I might have a possible solution with  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org
[03:34] <zenrium> sandel: you should still be able to specify the LBA modes tho I think for sata?
[03:34] <wy> No. I don't have an address bar...
[03:34] <memoryLenin> i'm using a wireless network, but when i turn on my computer, sometimes it'll connect and die shortly after, and sometimes when it doesn't i'll try to connect and it will take a long time and eventually quit trying to connect. I set my wireless network to roaming, and it shows it when i left click on network manager as 61% strength.
[03:35] <memoryLenin> any advice anybody
[03:35] <memoryLenin> ?
[03:35] <wy> LiMaO: What kind of file manager are you using? I'm using the default gnome one.
[03:35] <zenrium> memorylenin - sorry but no use to you I dont think.. not done much in the way of wireless with ubuntu yet myself :(
[03:35] <LiMaO> wy: there's an icon, to the left of the folder names.. click it and you'll be able to write the folder name
[03:35] <Voyage__> using firestarter. but it auto vanishes from sys tray. why.. its not runing i guess if its not in the tray.
[03:36] <memoryLenin> k thanks anyway zenrium, just tyring to get this figured out so i can abandon win vista
[03:36] <tarelerulz>  Wireless with ubuntu is still hard. I got the card to work ,but have yet to try wep or any  other encrytion
[03:36] <naes> lenin search for your lspci output for you w/less card in the forum, sometimes with certain wireless cards drivers have to be blacklisted or something
[03:36] <TigranG> Is 40 C hot for a hard drive?
[03:36] <zenrium> Voyage__: one way to try to find out why is to right click the icon on the sys tray - select properties - copy and paste the command it runs to start the program into a terminal window so the output when it bombs is displayed in the terminal window to giv eyou some insight
[03:36] <gvsa123> Voyage__: sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter status to see of it's running
[03:36] <KyleS> <---on wireless right now
[03:36] <KyleS> using WPA
[03:37] <wy> LiMaO: Ah! Nice!
[03:37] <KyleS> it "just worked" for me :\
[03:37] <LiMaO> =)
[03:37] <TigranG> Same here with the WPA
[03:37] <NotSoGutsy> is there a way I can see what processes are driving up my average load ?
[03:37] <naes> i had to blacklist drivers in modprobe.d
[03:37] <wy> LiMaO: Is the ae_* fonts any use? They seem to be ugly
[03:37] <zenrium> notsogutsy  - add the applet System monitor to your panel
[03:37] <memoryLenin> naes
[03:37] <tarelerulz> Kyles is wpa new? My router that I am trying to connect says  wep . How do you know what you have
[03:37] <memoryLenin> when i installed my driver
[03:38] <gvsa123> Voyage__: did you comment out this line in the sudoers:  #Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn
[03:38] <memoryLenin> i had to blacklist the one it loaded by default
[03:38] <zenrium> wpa is not new
[03:38] <memoryLenin> but my wifi light is on, so i'm sure the card is working.
[03:38] <LiMaO> i don't care about removing any fonts.. i just add a few from time to time, when i like them
[03:38] <wols> teKnofreak: router manual. wpa is newer yes
[03:38] <tony_math> memoryLenin: What do you get when you run "sudo iwlist scan"
[03:38] <wols> teKnofreak: and unlike wep not that easily broken
[03:38] <interceptor> #ubuntu-ru
[03:38] <Voyage__> gvsa123 no
[03:38] <naes> whats the card?
[03:38] <NotSoGutsy> zenrium :: as I see, system monitor doesn't show *what processes* are making it higher, just that it is higher
[03:38] <memoryLenin> tony, i'm on windows right now, but i'll have to look
[03:38] <wy> Is there a way to split the file browser?
[03:39] <memoryLenin> what should i be seeing, the list of networks available?
[03:39] <TigranG> NotSoGutsy: just click that applet
[03:39] <zenrium> notsogutsy I must be misunderstanding you... the system monitor shows all processes running and you can sort them by CPU load
[03:39] <TigranG> NotSoGutsy: It will open the System Monitor
[03:39] <gvsa123> Voyage__: i think it'\s essential for the gui to run well... had problems with gui but the firewall was running... check this out.. worked for me... : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187899
[03:39] <zenrium> yes just click it to open it up further as tigrang says notsogutsy
[03:39] <StupidK> hello everyone , i want to ask a question about howto make a mirror! i use the rsync utility and  every thing is ok but i can't exclude the packages od the pattern *powerpc.udeb ,so how can i do
[03:39] <tony_math> memoryLenin: You should see if your wireless card can actually see the access point or if it's accidentally trying someone elses :(
[03:40] <Voyage__> gvsa123 did you ever used virtual box?
[03:40] <Sande1> Zendium?
[03:40] <Sande1> That solution didnt work...
[03:40] <zenrium> sandel ?
[03:40] <Sande1> CRAP!

[03:40] <Javid> what's a good PDF editor?
[03:41] <Sande1> Acrobat :(
[03:41] <NotSoGutsy> zenrium :: perhaps I'm missing something, then, as I have a total of 3 processes above 1% CPU usage [one being the system monitor], and my load average is 8.84
[03:41] <Javid> nothing in the repos?
[03:41] <wy> LiMaO: It seems I can't do the drag-drop
[03:41] <TigranG> NotSoGutsy: What's your problem?
[03:41] <Sande1> argh, lost my tip
[03:41] <NotSoGutsy> TigranG :: I just wanted to see why my load is so high
[03:42] <kuzmaster> I just installed ubuntu 7.10 no a machine, and when ever the gui starts, it mucks up and all I see is a navy blue screen with horizonal lines across the screen. I am suspecting it is a driver issue... how can I fix this? I think I need to re-configure X, but im not quite sure of the command...
[03:42] <zenrium> notsogutsy : no doubt its rounding off all the other ones that are doing little bits but giving you a grand total on them all
[03:42] <TigranG> NotSoGutsy: What kind of apps are you running?
[03:43] <NotSoGutsy> eh, xchat, pidgin, opera, audacious, and a terminal
[03:43] <Annie> anyone have any experience with bsdgames? more specifically, the cribbage one

[03:51] <tjagoda> Can anybody off a little help to me on it?
[03:51] <zenrium> vladtzu : found that by going into System - Preferences - Session  which is where all your programs that start up when windows loads are found.
[03:51] <tjagoda> My hard disk clicks, but none of the load cycle counts seem to be chaning
[03:51] <nova> i have a quick question, i got a new monitor and it supports 1920x1200 but when i set that res when i reboot the rest will be back to 1280x1024 any help?

[03:52] <insta> hey guys, i just finished a mythbuntu backend installation to a SCSI disk.  grub fails on startup with "Error 22".  i'm wondering if there's any merit in using my spare CF -> IDE adapter and making a 64MB /boot partition ... and letting the rest of / be on the SCSI.  any ideas?
[03:52] <vladtzu> zenrium:  Thanks man.  Is that a GNOME thing?  The programs that start up when x loads, or is it a general x thing?
[03:52] <CaptainMorgan> !java

[03:52] <zenrium> nova: theres several areas to muck around with that... 1: is the nvidia driver which can write back to the xorg.conf  (found using nvidia-settings)  2: try with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, 3: using system preferences screen resolution
[03:52] <tjagoda> Anybody able to help me with my hard disk issue?
[03:52] <zenrium> vladtzu: I think the sessions is a gnome thing yes.
[03:53] <insta> tjagoda: what was it?
[03:53] <zenrium> nova: presuming of course your using nvidia :P
[03:54] <jughead> nova, you can edit the xorg.conf file by hand and remove the lines for other resolutions
[03:54] <kitofhawaii> tjagoda: what is the issue you're having?
[03:54] <tjagoda> insta: My hard disk is clicking fairly regularly (it's done it since I've bought the laptop, really, and I just sort of ignored it.), and it only happens in Ubuntu.  So I found that load cycle bug, and I ran through the steps, but nothing seems to stop the clicking.
[03:54] <insta> how often does it click?
[03:54] <tjagoda> sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda |grep -i load produces a count of 20,509 and thats over the course of a year
[03:55] <tjagoda> sometimes as low as 3-5 seconds
[03:55] <nova> zenrium: yeah i am using nvidia and have tried the nvidia-settings and tired editing the xorg.conf file as well
[03:55] <tjagoda> smartmon tests all passed a-ok
[03:55] <tjagoda> forcing power management to 255 and 254 did nothing to change it as well
[03:55] <abaars> kitofhawaii: no....I think i need to find a guide on this.  I thought I would like the extra security of the 'server', not so sure now :)
[03:56] <insta> is it doing it right now?
[03:56] <tjagoda> Yes.
[03:56] <zenrium> nova: try the third one I mentioned then... there is a possibility that in system - preferences - settings you have the command nvidia-settings --config-only which would cause this too I think
[03:56] <thebigkahuna> hello :)
[03:56] <abaars> i miss my beautiful ui
[03:56] <kuzmaster> how do i run the x config wizard from command line?
[03:56] <zenrium> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:57] <jughead> Is there a way to get the power cycle count if SMART isn't supported?
[03:57] <insta> tjagoda: did you do anything with hdparam?
[03:57] <pythondasnake> Ok I think I really messed up here and I need some serious help
[03:57] <zenrium> thats the third time I've told you kuzmaster :P
[03:57] <kuzmaster> :S oops
[03:57] <Voyage__> can any one please recomend an irc client most similer to mirc (thats used in windows) ?
[03:57] <tjagoda> only after I read the bug, never before
[03:57] <jughead> Voyage__, I use xchat; it's similar
[03:57] <pythondasnake> I used partition magic to create a swam + partition for Ubuntu.. When I rebooted it said problems loading operating system...
[03:57] <warriorforgod> Voyage__: Xchat
[03:57] <thadood> xchat rocks , how goes it ubuntu crowd
[03:57] <scguy318> Voyage___: or mIRC on Wine :P
[03:57] <Voyage__> jughead - have you used mirc ?       xchat is not similer
[03:57] <pythondasnake> Now I must install Ubuntu or I don't think I can recover Xp
[03:57] <chaosrl> how does one go about installing and using a .emerald theme?
[03:58] <Voyage__> warriorforgod - xchat is not similer in functions
[03:58] <scguy318> pythondasnake: try burning a Super GRUB CD
[03:58] <jughead> Voyage__, yeah I run mIRC on Windows
[03:58] <TigranG> pythondasnake: there is one thing you can try
[03:58] <insta> tjagoda: what all did you run with hdparm?
[03:58] <scguy318> pythondasnake: then fixing the MBR, perhaps Part Magic (which is utter rubbish) trashed the MBR
[03:58] <pythondasnake> I'm more worried about losing my operating system at the moment
[03:58] <Voyage__> scguy318 yes. but wine is full of bugs
[03:58] <scguy318> Voyage___: I'm using it right now, perfect no issues
[03:58] <pythondasnake> How do I define a root system ?
[03:58] <TigranG> pythondasnake:If you have an XP cd boot from it into recovery mode and do mixmbr and fixboot
[03:58] <jughead> Voyage__, use WINE if native irc clients don't live up to your expectations
[03:58] <Voyage__> scguy318 - it gets shutdown...
[03:59] <TigranG> python: /
[03:59] <blwegrzyn> i am trying to connect to my wifi and I got this error fro wpa_supplicant: Trying to associate with 00:13:10:9c:1f:8e (SSID='lnxnet' freq=2462 MHz)

[03:59] <blwegrzyn> Trying to associate with 00:13:10:9c:1f:8e (SSID='lnxnet' freq=2462 MHz)
[03:59] <pythondasnake> for mount point ?
[03:59] <blwegrzyn>  any ideas how to troubleshoot further, my laptop is d630 with broadcoam card, i was able to connect using fedora 8 with ndiswrapper driver, now I am running bc43 driver
[03:59] <pythondasnake> .. /
[03:59] <scguy318> blwegrzyn: use ndiswrapper :P
[03:59] <tjagoda> insta: just the -B 255/ -B 254
[03:59] <Voyage__> scguy318 some times fast clicks. and its gone
[03:59] <lucian> would u say its reasonably safe to allow a user to use sudo for wpa_supplicant and dhclient w/o the requirement of a password?
[03:59] <scguy318> Voyage___: if you run from Terminal what error messages do you get? might be something with your video driver
[03:59] <TigranG> pythondasnake: root as in installation directory or root user?
[04:00] <Voyage__> scguy318  it made shortcut on desktop. i just use that. no terminal.
[04:00] <tjagoda> insta: the weird thing is that, as I hear the clicks and I try to re-run sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda |grep -i load, the load count doesnt go up.
[04:00] <scguy318> Voyage___: well run it from Terminal and see
[04:00] <blwegrzyn> what those timeout errors mean?
[04:00] <Voyage__> scguy318  how to increase font size of mirc run by wine?
[04:00] <Disconnected> blwergrzym ¬¬
[04:00] <zenrium> pythondasnake: you may need to redo the master boot record for windows to boot in the current situation you have
[04:00] <nikolam> Does anyone use Xfce?
[04:00] <insta> tjagoda: lets try  "sudo hdparm -S 254 /dev/sda"
[04:00] <scguy318> Voyage___: View -> Fonts
[04:00] <scguy318> Voyage__: you do have msttcorefonts installed?
[04:00] <pythondasnake> Man I wish I haden't done this
[04:01] <tritium> pythondasnake: done what?
[04:01] <pythondasnake> I can't go back..
[04:01] <zenrium> abaars: smb.conf controls samba config yes
[04:01] <Voyage__> scguy318 i never manualy installed thm
[04:01] <pythondasnake> I have to install Ubuntu or I'm F'ed
[04:01] <tjagoda> insta: still clicking
[04:01] <dsnyders> HI all!  I'm having difficulties making sub-subfolders on my IMAP server.  Anyone familiar with IMAP config?
[04:01] <insta> hmm
[04:01] <pythondasnake> I chose a swap partition But I just don't know what it would be called
[04:01] <scguy318> Voyage___: installing it might get you some better fonts than what Wine's got
[04:01] <tjagoda> insta: I have to 80 gig drives, sda & sdb.  XP is on A and Ubuntu is on B.
[04:01] <pythondasnake> I see three devices here on prepare partition
[04:01] <Voyage__> scguy318 i just got it.
[04:01] <insta> tjagoda: anything of interest at the end of dmesg?
[04:02] <scguy318> Voyage___: alright, ok, if you do wine "C:\Program Files\mIRC\mIRC.exe"
[04:02] <blwegrzyn> anyone knows how troubleshoot network manager and wireless connection problems
[04:02] <scguy318> Voyage__: when you reproduce the error pastebin the messages in Terminal
[04:02] <scguy318> blwegrzyn: for Broadcom ndiswrapper is a great idea
[04:02] <wy> Is "Visual Effects" in the "Appearance Preferences" compiz?
[04:02] <scguy318> wy: yes
[04:02] <TigranG> wy: yea
[04:03] <zenrium> pythondasnake : you currently have repartitioned your drive without yet installing ubutun and your main partition you just resized has xp on it that doesnt boot anymore.. there could be larger issues than just the MBR however your first port of call should be booting off your windows XP CD and running the ERD Emergency recovery console.. and using the command fixmbr from there.
[04:03] <pythondasnake> will someone guide me through this ?
[04:03] <tjagoda> insta: nope
[04:03] <wy> I can't somehow start it. Strange. I have a ATI mobility radeon with its proprietary driver installed
[04:03] <abaars> okay...I have two folders to share via samba....../galaxy1 and /galaxy2... all I see in this guide is /media/samba.....can I add more than one?
[04:03] <marek|nano_> what do I do if apt-get doesnt find a package. like, I installed ruby but how do I install ruby-gtk2?
[04:03] <TigranG> zenrium: already said that...no one listens to me lol
[04:03] <pythondasnake> zenrium it said it would do this in the instructions
[04:03] <lucian> i need someone to check out http://pastebin.com/d16cdbc4a and tell me if that part of my sudoers file is secure. if not, why?
[04:03] <WildnQIk> what package would ubuntu have to run a mail server ?
[04:03] <zenrium> tig : its probably because this channel scrolls so fast lol :D
[04:03] <scguy318> marek|nano_: there's no ruby-gtk2 packag
[04:04] <scguy318> !mail | WildnQlk
[04:04] <TigranG> zenrium: lol
[04:04] <ubotu> WildnQlk: mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailinglists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com
[04:04] <zenrium> pythondasnake: well it hasnt so try it manually yourself :P

[04:04] <Ashfire908> abaars: ? did you try looking at "network"?
[04:04] <wy> Do I need more setup? It used to be easy
[04:04] <nova> zenrium: ok methods 1,2, and 3 did not work
[04:04] <scguy318> marek|nano_: are you looking for the Ruby bindings?
[04:04] <marek|nano_> scguy318: well I dont know if it's a package or what, but I'm told that I need ruby-gtk2
[04:04] <zenrium> nova: ouch :( thinking.
[04:04] <abaars> Yeah...I found the samba server....but I cant connect with my username and password on the ubuntu box  :(
[04:04] <nova> thanks for the help btw
[04:05] <lnxdb> hi
[04:05] <scguy318> marek|nano_: thats called libgtk2-ruby
[04:05] <zenrium> abaars:  have you added the samba users?  smbpasswd
[04:05] <tjagoda> insta: I'm sort of at a loss, because judging from the numbers and tests my drives are okay, but juding from the clicking that occurs every short intermitent interval I'm lead to believe otherwise
[04:05] <scguy318> tjagoda: might be just normal drive head seeking
[04:05] <tjagoda> insta: it's a Fujitsu MHV series
[04:05] <tjagoda> but it only seems to happen in Ubuntu
[04:05] <tjagoda> never in XP when I'm running
[04:06] <TigranG> tjagoda: Just backup your important file just in case and see what happens if tests are okay.
[04:06] <scguy318> tjagoda: probably you should do some tweaking in hdparm
[04:06] <abaars> sorry add them where, I have a single user/pass on the box and just finished installing from server CD
[04:06] <lnxdb> is there a way to remove a drive of cd-rom without shutting down the linux like in windows xp?
[04:06] <marek|nano_> scguy318: ah, that's a lot!
[04:06] <marek|nano_> scguy318: *Thanks!
[04:06] <scguy318> marek|nano_: np
[04:06] <zenrium> abaars :  use the command  smbpasswd to do it  man smbpasswd for more info
[04:06] <lucian> lnxdb: physically remove the drive or just unmount it?
[04:06] <lnxdb> lucian: physically
[04:07] <abaars> thanks for your help....brb...gotta try this
[04:07] <quitte> lnxdb how is it connected?
[04:07] <dsnyders> lnxdb: sudo eject /dev/cdrom
[04:07] <zenrium> nova: I'm at a loss... I guess manually checking the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to ensure the correct res's are listed there is helpful but not going to do much... I guess theres a possibility its also tied into the refresh rate ?  but I'm running low on ideas now. :(
[04:07] <tjagoda> Does 17,590 load cycles over a year sound normal to you guys?
[04:07] <lnxdb> lucian: i made this some times before and my linux freezed...
[04:07] <zhaonanyny007> hi
[04:07] <lucian> lnxdb: im not sure. .. i know i wouldn't dare open my pc while power is being run through it. i've been thrown by wall electricity before and it was NOT cool.
[04:08] <lnxdb> quitte: this is connected with ide flat cables
[04:08] <TigranG> lnxdb: shut down first
[04:08] <nova> zenrium: you think getting rid of the rest of the res's will do any good?
[04:08] <quitte> lnxdb: pata is not hot plug. don't do it in windows, either
[04:08] <zenrium> nova: possibly but could also mean a black screen when it loads xwindows too
[04:08] <lucian> i need someone to check out http://pastebin.com/d16cdbc4a and tell me if that part of my sudoers file is secure. if not, why?
[04:09] <zenrium> nova: is there any logs anywhere I ponder that might give insight.. does /var/log/messages have anything?
[04:09] <nova> zenrium: let me check
[04:09] <reportingsj1> How do I adjust compiz settings? I can't find anywhere that I can change it's settings.

[04:09] <zenrium> nova: does pressing CTL+ALT+F1 to get the primary console show any output dumped to it (it shouldnt).. press CTL+ALT+F7 to get back to Xwin
[04:09] <TigranG> System->Pref->Appearance
[04:09] <insta> whoa holy crap
[04:09] <insta> forgot to scroll window
[04:09] <insta> tjagoda: that was for you, that's my laptop's load cycle count
[04:09] <reportingsj1> thanks scguy318!
[04:10] <TigranG> Oh, advanced settings hah :)
[04:10] <lnxdb> lucian: but in windows xp i got to remove physically a cd-rom drive or hd without shutting down the computer... i only disable the drivers.... its always works perfectly
[04:10] <nova> zenrium: nope doesnt show anything
[04:10] <zenrium> lnxdb : woot you must have brass monkeys :)
[04:10] <lnxdb> lucian: in some systems that can never be restarted (like in servers), this task is very important
[04:10] <quitte> lnxdb: you can unload modules in linux,too. but really don't do it. get sata drives
[04:11] <lnxdb> i think in linux there is a way, but i don't find anythink in google
[04:11] <scguy318> lnxdb: well isn't that the job of those special server mount boxes?
[04:11] <scguy318> lnxdb: or w/e they're called?
[04:11] <scguy318> lnxdb: and those don't use PATA, since it's not hotpluggable at all
[04:11] <zenrium> lol wtf.. everytime I press a key when typing in xchat the damn things clicking in my pc speaker now.. lol
[04:11] <lucian> lnxdb: well, you could umount the cd-rom and then try it but i cant guarentee something wont mess up. i've never personally done it before
[04:11] <zenrium> goddamn gutsy
[04:11] <abaars> Yeah...that workd...I can connect now, but nothing is shared:  guess I will have to change the smb.conf file now?
[04:11] <abaars> ;)
[04:12] <lnxdb> scguy318: in windows xp i got do it with ide devices
[04:12] <dsnyders> lnxdb: If you want a removable CDROM drive, get a usb drive enclosure.
[04:12] <zenrium> abaars: yeppers
[04:12] <scguy318> lnxdb: XP lets you do stuff that's not ok
[04:12] <quitte> lnxdb: yes. still it's stupid. pata is not hot pluggable. period.
[04:12] <lnxdb> lucian: i already made it and fails, my linux freezeed the screen...
[04:13] <lucian> scguy318: tru tru
[04:13] <abaars> in the MYFILES section, can you add multiple sharepoints....like /galaxy1 and /galaxy2
[04:13] <tjagoda> anybody know why my Fujitsu MHV drive clicks in 3-5 second intervals for no apparent reason because my load count isnt rising?
[04:13] <abaars> is it just a comma or something?
[04:13] <zenrium> abaars: is what just a comma?
[04:13] <zenrium> abaars:: I just had to reset xchat
[04:13] <rusty> http://tinyurl.com/249rjg nice little game... some nice ubuntu users there also ;)
[04:14] <TigranG> abaars: I think you have to make a share for each folder seperatly
[04:14] <lnxdb> scguy318: i think, if in xp i can do it, in linux is that a way... in linux all is possible
[04:14] <scguy318> lnxdb: I can't divide by zero in Linux, try again :P
[04:14] <abaars> to share two paths, is it like this:  path = /galaxy1, /galaxy2
[04:14] <quitte> lnxdb: yes. unload the module of your pata controller. only possible if your rootfs isnt connected thre
[04:14] <zaki1> hey all ....i had problems with my sound card (intel hda iha7) in ubuntu it didafter a restart mysterously sound came back now iam feared that if i reboot again it wll be gon please help
[04:14] <quitte> lnxdb: or even better: don't do it!
[04:15] <scguy318> lnxdb: I say again: don't do it! Windows lets you do that because it's very lax with checking the mount status of devices, something like that
[04:15] <wy> Where is the fonts in file:/// located?
[04:15] <Ryuho> what do you guys think about adobe air?
[04:15] <zenrium> abaars: never done that before myself so I dont think it'll work like.. I would either create two shares presuming the two directories are in different locks.. or create a link to the galaxy2 within the galaxy1 directory
[04:15] <rene> server irc.freenode.net
[04:15] <quitte> lnxdb: you might destroy your cdrom any other devices connected to the ide bus. the mainbbord and the psu.
[04:15] <TigranG> Why do you want to remove your cd-driver anyways?
[04:15] <TigranG> drive*
[04:15] <lnxdb> quitte: hummm
[04:16] <quitte> lnxdb: also a fuse might break shutting down other machines. and those are rather likely to happen
[04:16] <zenrium> zakil : I get that currently with gutsy.. my audio is all over the show on reboots and during use.. :\
[04:16] <lnxdb> quitte: this is not a good choice?
[04:16] <wy> I want to know where is the fonts in file:/// located. I can't find the fonts I dragged into it
[04:16] <quitte> lnxdb: pata is not hotpluggable
[04:16] <quitte> lnxdb: never was.
[04:16] <abaars> they are just on different drives in the box
[04:16] <lnxdb> quitte: and sata?
[04:16] <quitte> lnxdb: sata is hot pluggable
[04:16] <zaki1> yeah  quitte is there any resolve to this coz i cant live without sound in ubuntu :P
[04:16] <zenrium> wy:  use sudo find / -name [fontname] perhaps?
[04:17] <ehc> is there a way to compare .odf or .pdf files with kdiff3 or kompare or another program?
[04:18] <rusty> hope you guys enjoy the link, i gotta take off
[04:18] <zenrium> zakil: well I had to fix aumix for a start but I havent seen much of an improvement but it did let me use my mic in teamspeak..  the fix for aumix is found here http://graynoise.konfuzo.net/poots.php
[04:18] <WildnQIk> whats a good ftp server for ubuntu or a package that will have it already
[04:18] <wy> zenrium: That'll take too long
[04:18] <lnxdb> quitte: ok, but if i unload the modules in linux maybe this works right?
[04:19] <zaki1> hey wy is there a aother way around
[04:19] <zaki1> ?
[04:19] <bosco> i have an atheros wireless card can anyone help me get it installed
[04:19] <dsnyders> lnxdb, It's not the modules.  The electronic hardware is not capable of it.
[04:19] <wy> There should be some configuration for the fonts:/// folder
[04:19] <RandomUsr> hello
[04:19] <imyousuf> Hi all! I need your feedback on http://imyousuf-tech.blogspot.com/2007/12/killing-process-in-linux.html
[04:19] <wy> The fonts can't be everywhere
[04:19] <RandomUsr> anyone here run Apache on their Ubuntu box?
[04:20] <lnxdb> dsnyders: yes i know, but in the assistence i always did this in windows xp and never have problems
[04:20] <zenrium> randomusr have done before.. whats wrong
[04:20] <quitte> lnxdb: as it worked in xp it might survive. stil a really, really bad idea to do.
[04:20] <reportingsj1> How do I create more desktops? I tried right clicking on the icon and selecting preferences but it didn't let me use the extra two shown...
[04:20] <dsnyders> lnxdb: Then you have been lucky.
[04:20] <lnxdb> dsnyders: this fails in xp when i dont remove the drivers...
[04:20] <wy> My Ubuntu is a 64bit version. What's the difference with 32 bit one?
[04:20] <elinsurrecto2> hello everyone
[04:20] <TigranG> wy: 32 bits :P
[04:20] <lnxdb> dsnyders: i made this in lot a motherboards and never fails
[04:20] <RandomUsr> zenrium, I´m wondering if I need an XML mod to process it
[04:21] <marek|nano_> FUUUUUCK.
[04:21] <reportingsj1> wy: 64bit is for 64bit processors, 32bit for 32bit processors :p (64bit is better)
[04:21] <tritium> !language | marek|nano_
[04:21] <zenrium> randomuser: process it??????
[04:21] <wy> TigranG: I mean is there anything inconvenient for 64 bit?
[04:21] <ubotu> marek|nano_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[04:21] <sfyuidf8dfhs> fuck
[04:21] <reportingsj1> wy: It isn't supported by a lot of things, yet.
[04:21] <loke> reportingsj1: 32bit runs on 64 bit processors as well, and isn't always "better"
[04:21] <elinsurrecto2>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[04:21] <sfyuidf8dfhs> niggerdicks
[04:21] <TigranG> wy: I don't know, it was just a joke
[04:21] <wy> for example. Is the programs I compiled runnable on someone else's machine with 32bit linux?
[04:22] <quitte> wy no
[04:22] <lnxdb> quitte: hummm... i don't think this, because in the servers versions of windows this is a normal step... i read this in some forums...
[04:22] <reportingsj1> loke: Well yeah, but it is better a lot of the time
[04:22] <elinsurrecto2> anyone can help me with the flash player?
[04:22] <lnxdb> quitte: i will find some here, wait...
[04:22] <RabidWeezle> hrm, gutsy won't install from live cd on this laptop, might have to use the alternative cd...
[04:22] <loke> reportingsj1: Almost immeasureable, and could cause issues when installing flash and whatnot.
[04:22] <wy> quitte: That sounds not so good
[04:22] <RabidWeezle> I installed the last time using edgy
[04:22] <wy> But is 64 bit version really better? I don't have too much memory
[04:22] <RabidWeezle> but now it's a messload of problems
[04:22] <scguy318> elinsurrecto2: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890
[04:22] <zenrium> wy:  /etc/fonts /etc/X11/fonts /usr/local/share/fonts  /usr/share/fonts
[04:22] <reportingsj1> loke: I haven't had many issues with it, flash works fine for me. The only problem I have with it, is if I start up java then flash, flash has no sound.
[04:23] <scguy318> wy: sure, why not use what your CPU is capable of?
[04:23] <loke> wy: 64bit is only useful if you compile a lot, or crunch
[04:23] <eattehstuffs> Uhh... hi?
[04:23] <reportingsj1> loke: Do you know how to make more workspaces?
[04:23] <scguy318> elinsurrecto2: this is about the MD5 error, correct?
[04:23] <RandomUsr> zenrium, I want to use XML in my pages
[04:23] <eattehstuffs> I need help!
[04:23] <loke> reportingsj1: Only by right clicking on the workspace applet and going from there.
[04:23] <scguy318> !ask | eattehstuffs
[04:23] <ubotu> eattehstuffs: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:23] <peepsalot> i just did a fresh install and the fonts on the web look strange, is there an extra font pack I can install?
[04:23] <lovedeatm> any of you know any apps that are GUI and help ypu build and learn how to build oyu own plugins....and or wanna teach me how to..specificly for gaim
[04:23] <elinsurrecto2> nope bro is having some bugs while playing the videos in youtube
[04:23] <chronosx> my sound card (chipset) doesn't work so all sound goes to pc speaker.  irc keeps beeping, how can i disable the pc speaker?
[04:24] <wy> scguy318: Mine is just a T7200 on T60
[04:24] <zenrium> RandomUser: installing and using apache doesnt mean you cant have XML in your webpages ?
[04:24] <loke> pc speaker?  Unplug it!
[04:24] <eattehstuffs> Okay. When I use the rt kernel, it causes anything that plays through the TiMidity++ daemon to freeze.
[04:24] <eattehstuffs> But the generic kernel works fine.
[04:24] <zenrium> randomuser: the pages are served to the client that then has the job of working out the XML content inside your .html ?
[04:24] <eattehstuffs> I'm using 64-bit Gutsy.
[04:24] <reportingsj1> loke: I tried right clicking, increased the num. of rows, and it won't let me use the newly added ones!
[04:24] <peepsalot> chronosx: there is a way to remove the pc speaker kernel module
[04:24] <reportingsj1> So for compiz I'm stuck with a plane, not a cube! :(
[04:24] <peepsalot> chronosx: i don't recall the details off the top of my head though
[04:25] <lnxdb> quitte: there is a technology named of hot swap that permitts the removal of a drive when a os is running, in real time... (but only a hd that dont have an os installed)
[04:25] <wy> gosh. The fonts are in my ~/.fonts
[04:25] <marek|nano_> hot swap sounds like a sexual act
[04:25] <loke> reportingsj1: Compiz has its own workspace configuration.
[04:25] <quitte_> lnxdb: right. and pata never supports that
[04:25] <loke> reportingsj1: Should be horizontal size in the general options.
[04:25] <scguy318> lovedeatm: Pidgin/Gaim plugins are usually written in C, you'll have to know how to link and read API docs
[04:25] <reportingsj1> loke: ok, I'll check for it
[04:25] <peepsalot> is there some package that contains lots of fonts?
[04:26] <eattehstuffs> Does anyone know how to fix it?
[04:26] <dsnyders> lnxdb: SATA, Certain SCSI variations, USB, Firewire can be hot swapped, but not IDE... At least not directly.
[04:26] <quitte_> lnxdb: you needspecial plugs that connect the power ground and data lines in the correct order or you risk breaking your hardware. and thats just the electric partof it
[04:26] <lovedeatm> thats why asked for a noob dumbed down version cuz i don't know anything about c
[04:26] <elinsurrecto2> any1 knows how to install flash player correctly?
[04:26] <tritium> marek|nano_: stop, please

[04:27] <crush_groove> !flash | elinsurrecto2
[04:27] <ubotu> elinsurrecto2: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[04:28] <scguy318> crush_groove: the current flashplugin-nonfree is broken and is described by the bug report I linked elinsurrecto2 to
[04:28] <zenrium> lnxdb: hotswapping on server with backends that cater for hot swapping is possible with linux.. hell I believe google do it all the time.
[04:28] <crush_groove> ty scguy318
[04:28] <eattehstuffs> Help!
[04:28] <elinsurrecto2> so i use the one you sent me in the package?
[04:28] <zenrium> lnxdb : but to do it on a desktop pc I would shudder to try
[04:28] <lnxdb> zenrium: thanks, but its very hard to find anything about
[04:28] <scguy318> elinsurrecto2: install that package I linked you to yes
[04:29] <dsnyders> lnxdb, What are you trying to accomplish anyways>
[04:29] <elinsurrecto2> thank you a lot
[04:29] <scguy318> elinsurrecto2: you said you were on 64-bit Ubuntu, so that should be it
[04:29] <loke> lnxdb: What's the problem?  Just do it!
[04:29] <elinsurrecto2> no no im in 32bit
[04:29] <scguy318> elinsurrecto2: if you've installed 32-bit Ubuntu then there's a diff package, moment
[04:29] <elinsurrecto2> yea
[04:29] <reportingsj1> loke: Strange, I bumped it up to 4 desktops and still a plane! *scratches head*
[04:29] <Bruno_> can someone help me install ccpublisher?
[04:29] <zenrium> if its  a raid controller you shouldnt even have to worry about unmounting because its the controller and the RAID environment that caters for the continuating of the filesystem mounted.

[04:37] <crush_groove> ack is available for distro with the CPAN mod

[04:37] <crush_groove> let apt_get install
[04:37] <lain> hi...
[04:37] <wroklife> LotharTBL: but if that would be the case then it shouldnt run on wndows either........... and also itreid shortening the netmask to <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> but no output either

[04:41] <loke> reZo: Is it LCD or CRT?

[04:41] <lain> and im overclocking by BIOS setup
[04:41] <coldboot|home> What is the file in Ubuntu to specify "xhost +localhost:some_username" permanently so others can run programs on your display?

[04:42] <reZo> 80-90, that skipped passed my eye hehe
[04:42] <crush_groove> fen typing in just lpq might help to
[04:42] <rubydiamond> fen, ??
[04:42] <fen> rubydiamond ack is a perl module , you use CPAN to install perl modules from CPAN
[04:42] <sploodge> @Bruno_: I have no idea, it says something about overflow, but I don't know any Python.
[04:42] <loke> lain: 210*5 is only 11050, which processor do you have?
[04:43] <loke> 1050*
[04:43] <rubydiamond> Please enter your CPAN site: []
[04:43] <rubydiamond> CPAN.pm needs at least one URL where it can fetch CPAN files from.
[04:43] <lain> amd athlon 64 3000+

[04:43] <lain> O_O
[04:43] <wroklife> thnx man LotharTBL
[04:43] <reZo> loke: when it says 40-60 etc, that means in the list for the screen resolution chagne, it will list whatever your monitor supports between those two numbers?
[04:43] <loke> lain: Set your multiplier as high as possible.
[04:43] <peepsalot> wy: you have the same problem I just had.  you need package msttcorefonts

[04:45] <reZo> Vertrefresh, am i meant to do it to something else?
[04:45] <lnxdb> quitte_: this only show a help screen of usage commands
[04:45] <bassgoon> crush_groove, its in fullscreen, it takes a keyboard shortcut to get out
[04:45] <loke> ReZo, it depends on your monitor.
[04:45] <peepsalot> wy: I don't know.  But i do know that installing that package solved my problem
[04:45] <rubydiamond> fen, is installed ack is available at shell
[04:45] <lnxdb> what is a url of past bin ?

[04:45] <dsnyders> lnxdb: You're doing this with root privileges, right>
[04:45] <reZo> i'll have a play with it then hehe
[04:45] <quitte_> lnxdb: yes there is. -U expects a value btween 0 and 63 as an argument. probably hda=0 hdb=1 hdc=2...
[04:45] <lain> mmm oh yepa and the dynamic overclock...i have it in 5%...can i increase this value?
[04:45] <lnxdb> dsnyders: yes...
[04:45] <crush_groove> ubuntu will release full screen with a double left click on screen
[04:46] <bassgoon> crush_groove, not with grdesktop
[04:46] <loke> lain: I'm not familiar with that option.  It's definitely not common.

[05:15] <rushi> does anybody know how to get the 1280x1024 resolution working on intel chipsets
[05:15] <rushi> ?
[05:15] <reZo> loke: still there? I found out my H/V Hz / KHz frequency's, how would I adjust my xorg to suit the following?
[05:15] <fen> lnxdb you should also look at ltsp
[05:15] <reZo> H: 91.3Khz, V: 85.2Hz
[05:15] <rushi> I know my monitor supports its
[05:15] <kappakappucino> guys
[05:15] <kappakappucino> it's my money
[05:15] <kappakappucino> and I need it now
[05:15] <lnxdb> fen: whats that? ltsp?
[05:16] <fen> lnxdb if you want to keep her buy her a nice used laptop
[05:16] <rushi> I have been dabbling with the 'gtf' command
[05:16] <rushi> and tryingf out different modlines
[05:16] <rushi> it doesnt seem to work
[05:17] <Dr_willis_> rushi,  you are manually editing the xorg.conf file?
[05:17] <Ttech-Z> k
[05:17] <rushi> yes
[05:17] <rushi> Dr willis
[05:17] <crush_groove> with a backup I hope
[05:17] <rushi> Ioh yeah
[05:17] <fen> lnxdb what kind of networking will this box have?
[05:17] <Dr_willis_> rushi,  you are totally restarting X after changing that file? (and i hope ya got a backup) :)
[05:17] <ridge-meister> tonight i walked away from the computer (a miracle in itself) for about 2 hours, when I came back the screen looked like it 3 or 4 overlapping versions of itself.  For example, I could see where movieplayer was running, but there were so many horizontal lines through the graphics that i couldn't find the close button for movieplayer.  what could be causing this?
[05:17] <StEaLtHtHiEf> hey fellow ubuntuers.  hope everyone is having a great holiday!
[05:17] <Phuzion> with nice, high number = low priority, right?
[05:18] <sploodge> Oh crap.
[05:18] <rushi> yes i am backing it up
[05:18] <crush_groove>  doesnt trust a StEaLtHtHiEf
[05:18] <Dr_willis_> alt-ctrl-backspace should kill X and restart it. thus rereading the config . Just Logging out may or may not do it.
[05:18] <crush_groove>  laffs
[05:18] <loke> Phuzion: Yes.
[05:18] <hajiki> hey is it normal that the usplash doesn't appear when i shut down the computer? If it isn't how do i make it appear again?
[05:18] <fen> ridge-meister could be a horizontal sync problem
[05:18] <Phuzion> ok, how high can nice be set to?  19?
[05:18] <fen> ridge-meister CRT or LCD?
[05:18] <loke> There's a slider in process manager
[05:18] <ridge-meister> fen, how come it doesn't happen all the time?
[05:18] <StEaLtHtHiEf> crush_groove?  why not?  =(
[05:18] <rushi> my problem is I cant seem to get the right hsync frewuenccies for the 1280 resolution
[05:19] <lnxdb> fen: this will use a shared dsl connection
[05:19] <Phuzion> loke: terminal only server
[05:19] <loke> Phuzion: I'm not sure what the max is.
[05:19] <loke> Phuzion: Oh, sorry, can't hel ya.
[05:19] <lnxdb> fen: through ethernet
[05:19] <ridge-meister> fen, i think CRT.  it's an old Future Power monitor
[05:19] <fen> lnxdb does the box have an eithernet card?
[05:19] <rushi> when i go into the Xorg.log it says mode clock too high for the modline I have been using
[05:19] <lnxdb> fen: yes
[05:19] <latarsk1> hi all
[05:19] <latarsk1> when log out after setting a time (at ) 2 minutes job. the job doesn't run. am I doing something wrong ?
[05:19] <lnxdb> fen: its a pci ethernet card
[05:20] <j1solutions> hello all
[05:20] <loke> Phuzion: It's between -20 and 19.
[05:20] <loke> renice process 19
[05:20] <fen> ridge-meister could be the pots are going south
[05:20] <lnxdb> fen: its will need a dhcp client to receive a ip address (or i can configure manually)
[05:20] <rushi> my monitor is a view sonic A70
[05:21] <lnxdb> fen: my preocupation is with a performance
[05:21] <rushi> and it supports 1280x1024 at 66 hz
[05:21] <ridge-meister> fen, is there something i can do to verify this?  i've really been looking for an excuse to get a new monitor :)
[05:21] <lnxdb> fen: this computer is very slow
[05:21] <rushi> cant seem to get it to work
[05:21] <lnxdb> fen: need a very simple distro
[05:21] <fen> lnxdb another way to go is VNC client on dos - VNC is faster than X
[05:21] <StEaLtHtHiEf> fluxbuntu is really simple, light and easy i'v read
[05:21] <j1solutions> rushi, does it work in windows? I had an A70 that 'lost' its higher resolutions
[05:22] <StEaLtHtHiEf> @lnxdb
[05:22] <sploodge> Ugh.  If it isn't how do i make it appear again?
[05:22] <IdleOne> can I install compiz-fusion using the livecd to test it out?
[05:23] <loke> IdleOne: I believe the 7.10 liveCD has compiz by default
[05:23] <StEaLtHtHiEf> idleone, you probably cant
[05:23] <loke> wait
[05:23] <Jeriath|Away> anyone use xchat
[05:23] <loke> no
[05:23] <rtan> hello guys
[05:23] <IdleOne> loke: I cant seem to find it
[05:23] <StEaLtHtHiEf> its my understanding that you needed the restricted drivers enabled?
[05:23] <loke> IdleOne: No compositing with the drivers shipped on LiveCD's
[05:23] <crush_groove> Jeriath|Away,  yea
[05:23] <rushi> j1 i am pretty sure it was workin with XP
[05:24] <StEaLtHtHiEf> and to enable the restricted drivers you need a reboot
[05:24] <rtan> i have  xp on my harddrive and i want to install vista and ubuntu... and boot manager
[05:24] <rushi> this was a friends computer and he had XP on it
[05:24] <Jeriath|Away> what do i use to seperate channels in the list of channels to join on startup of a channel
[05:24] <Jeriath|Away> err
[05:24] <Jeriath|Away> startup of a server
[05:24] <IdleOne> loke:  StEaLtHtHiEf thanks for the quick answers
[05:24] <rtan> which i should install next after xp? vista or ubuntu?
[05:24] <rushi> and i am sure the 1280 x 1024 was working on XP
[05:24] <Jeriath|Away> vista, then ubuntu
[05:24] <vegananarchist> Hello, anyone here familiar with encryption i need some help

[05:24] <crush_groove> looks at his
[05:24] <crush_groove>  1 sec

[05:25] <j1solutions> rtan dont dual boot, thats my advice
[05:25] <fen> ridge-meister try taking the hood off and looking for hidden knobs
[05:25] <j1solutions> machines and hard drives are too cheap
[05:25] <arooni-mobile> what is the acceptable temp range (in celcius) for an intel core 2 duo cpu?
[05:25] <j1solutions> and once you use ubuntu for a while, you wont' want windows anyway
[05:25] <rtan> j1solutions: i have only one hardrrive in my laptop
[05:25] <loke> arooni-mobile: Which one?
[05:25] <vegananarchist> i need some help with email encryption
[05:25] <j1solutions> rtan: make it ubuntu only
[05:25] <crush_groove> Jeriath|Away,  Channels to join = #ubuntu,#linux,#sigterm,#computing
[05:25] <fen> q: anyone know how to query a printer for status over parallel
[05:25] <arooni-mobile> loke, does it differ between core 2 duos?
[05:25] <loke> Yes.
[05:26] <Jeriath|Away> hmm
[05:26] <arooni-mobile> loke, i know it has more cache than the entry level one... i think 4mb
[05:26] <rtan> j1solutions: why ubuntu only? i have software which runs on xp
[05:26] <Jeriath|Away> i think it might be because i but a space in between too
[05:26] <Mudbug1950> what is a good webcam to use with Ubuntu?
[05:26] <Jeriath|Away> thanks
[05:26] <loke> arooni-mobile: Do you know the speed?
[05:26] <loke> arooni-mobile: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[05:26] <j1solutions> rtan: like what, there are almost always alternatives in linux
[05:26] <arooni-mobile> loke, hang on
[05:26] <ridge-meister> fen, what is the "hood" on this monitor?  it's one of those old fashioned monitors, the front part of the monitor looks like it has a frame that snaps off, or something like that
[05:27] <Jeriath|Away> yep...works now...thanks :D
[05:27] <loke> arooni-mobile: Actually try this: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model\ name
[05:27] <arooni-mobile> loke, model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU          6420  @ 2.13GHz
[05:27] <fen> lnxdb to answer you other question LTSP, the Linux Terminal Server Project
[05:27] <loke> 60.1*C is the limit
[05:27] <lnxdb> fen: thanks a lot
[05:28] <mikefoo> looking to install buntu on a laptop, would unbuntu be the best choice of all the *buntu's ?
[05:28] <fen> ridge-meister look for the screws and take the plastic off to see the guts
[05:28] <loke> arooni-mobile: If your load temps are under 60 (preferably around 50) you're ok.
[05:28] <xLE> xubuntu
[05:28] <lnxdb> fen: these distros will be a helpfull...
[05:28] <mindy> The "shutdown" option seems to have disappeared from my Quit menu. How can I get it back?
[05:28] <mikefoo> xLE: me?
[05:28] <fen> lnxdb it may not work without a fat server somewhere on the LAN
[05:28] <arooni-mobile> loke, my cpu is currently at 68 or 69* C ... what does that mean?  should i get a better fan
[05:28] <xLE> it's what i would use yes.
[05:28] <j1solutions> mikefoo: yes
[05:29] <j1solutions> i ran 4 distros on this thinkpad and came back to ubuntu
[05:29] <j1solutions> just lose the network manager and install Wicd and it will run fine
[05:29] <loke> arooni-mobile: Did you build this yourself?  Are you sure those temps are correct?
[05:29] <fen> question - anyone know how to query a printer hardware for status ?
[05:29] <arooni-mobile> loke, my comp does random restarts sometimes.......... yes i built it myself. ... i got the temp from the bios (asus mobo)
[05:30] <loke> arooni-mobile: Re-apply the thermal paste.
[05:30] <IdleOne> loke: just enable universe and multiverse did a dist-upgrade and now it is installing compiz and 60 other packages :) see what happens
[05:30] <loke> IdleOne: I think you're targeting the wrong guy.
[05:30] <mikefoo> oh,but my laptop is failry new, still go with xbuntu?
[05:30] <Dr_willis_> mikefoo,  You can always install ubuntu-desktop later if you want.
[05:30] <IdleOne> loke: might be
[05:30] <IdleOne> sorry
[05:30] <arooni-mobile> loke, u dont think i need a new fan?  its a intel cpu fan that came with processor..............   however the fan is getting kinda hard to put back onto the cpu securelty
[05:30] <loke> np =]
[05:30] <j1solutions> mikefoo: ubuntu, that is my advice. boot the live disk to see that your hardware all works
[05:30] <arooni-mobile> securely
[05:31] <loke> arooni-mobile: That's a possibility.  You need perfect contact between the CPU and heatsink.
[05:31] <j1solutions> mikefoo, have you ver installed XP?
[05:31] <j1solutions> ver=ever
[05:31] <mikefoo> yeah
[05:31] <mikefoo> ofcourse.
[05:31] <fen> lnxdb http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT6185716632.html
[05:31] <j1solutions> its easier than XP
[05:32] <arooni-mobile> loke, hmmmmmmmmm so u think a new fan is the way to go?  also, am i in any danger of running at 68 or 69*C?  wont it auto shut off if its too hot
[05:32] <mikefoo> I love XP, I dont have a problem with installing, im just not a X person, I always work in shells.
[05:32] <loke> arooni-mobile: If it's auto rebooting, then you have a problem.
[05:32] <loke> 60.1 is the limit, anything more is DANGEROUS!
[05:32] <j1solutions> well, ubuntu is still my recommendation
[05:32] <mikefoo> =)
[05:33] <arooni-mobile> loke, is there anyway of knowing temp from within ubuntu
[05:33] <loke> sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
[05:33] <vegananarchist> how can you uninstall programs you installed using the terminal
[05:33] <loke> rather..sudo apt-get install sensord
[05:33] <j1solutions> wow skype works great in gutsy
[05:33] <jrgotti> arooni-mobile: sudo apt-get install hddtemp
[05:34] <loke> jrgotti: he's not after hdd temps

[05:39] <Jeriath> anyone know why xchat isnt even using the nickserv password
[05:39] <ramza3> what is the point of using sudo, eg, it seems that a sudo user has the same rights as root?
[05:39] <Jeriath> it does
[05:39] <qwerkus>  j1solutions: same here :(
[05:40] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: nope, just the button on the upper right corner of the screen
[05:40] <ramza3> Jeriath, are you going into freenode?  I think sometimes it takes a little time?
[05:40] <jrgotti> ramza3: thats teh point of sudo...so you can have admin rights...
[05:40] <qwerkus> ramza3: ofc, but only ONE time (when u use the command)
[05:40] <preaction> ramza3, because it's not good to be careless with root, using sudo provides more controls over when and how the root access is used
[05:40] <ramza3> jrgotti, I know, but does it buy you any extra protections over root
[05:40] <qwerkus> ramza3: it doesn t left an "open" superuser account ...
[05:40] <ramza3> ok
[05:40] <robotic> Hi all: Does anyone have any experience with using Festival on Ubuntu?
[05:41] <bullgard4> hajiki: What is the text of your /boot/grub/menu.list > current kernel text line starting with 'kernel'?
[05:41] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: are you getting nothing at all (blank screen) or text?
[05:41] <robotic> When I try and run a text-to-speech program, I get an error accessing /dev/dsp
[05:41] <Jeriath> ramza3, it doesnt do it in any of my networks
[05:42] <robotic> But I'm not sure why /dev/dsp can't be used if I can play sound normally with mplayer
[05:42] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: black screen
[05:42] <jrgotti> ramza3: when you use sudo...you only have root for the command you put sudo in front of....so if i were to type sudo cp file1 file2...it would copy with root. if i immediately were to type 'rm *' 9bad idea) i wouldnt have root because i didnt put "sudo" in front.
[05:42] <hajiki> bullgard4: kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=8f1f3322-9ce3-49ac-8086-09e4b4a5f66b ro quiet splash
[05:42] <jrgotti> wheres if your logged in as root
[05:42] <jrgotti> ANYTHING you do has root priv.
[05:42] <pooria> how can I use "debug" in ubuntu to work with Assembly and CPU's registers
[05:42] <loke> robotic: Make sure nothing else is using /dev/dsp
[05:42] <Hirvinen> 2
[05:43] <Dr_willis_> pooria,  i rember ages ago a "assembly howto" for linux on tldp.org but thats been years ago.
[05:43] <robotic> loke: thanks!  is there any command to check that automatically?
[05:43] <ramza3> jrgotti, I thought it was if you don't close that terminal session.  eg, once you sudo, you could do sudo once and then do "rm *"
[05:43] <qwerkus>  pooria: gdb
[05:43] <loke> lsof /dev/dsp
[05:43] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: do you have an onboard video card in addition to an add-on video card? also...i'd be curious to see if you are getting anything if you issue a terminal shutdown
[05:43] <jrgotti> ramza3: nope. =]
[05:43] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: i.e. "sudo init 0" for shutdown, or "sudo init 6" for reboot
[05:43] <qwerkus> pooria: when you compile, you put some gdb tags in your bin you can trace later one
[05:44] <robotic> loke: comes up blank; does that guarantee nothing's using it?
[05:44] <bullgard4> hajiki: You have 'splash' in it. So this text line is okay. -- But I do not know why your computer does not show usplash on shutdown. Sorry, I cannot help you.
[05:44] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: no i dont have another video card
[05:44] <loke> robotic: It does, which is..odd. =p
[05:44] <peterretief> i cant get sound working on boson
[05:44] <pooria> I'm not going to compile anything - I wanna see what values are in CPU's registers right know
[05:44] <ramza3> jrgotti, ok, but I dont have to enter my password
[05:44] <peterretief> gutsy
[05:44] <hajiki> bullgard4: thanks anyway
[05:44] <ramza3> jrgotti, reenter on the second sudo cmd
[05:44] <robotic> loke: OK, let me try quitting everything to see if that frees it up somehow.
[05:45] <Jeriath> k...kinda works now
[05:45] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: i can try shutting by terminal
[05:45] <Poisonkiller> how can i watch videos in youtube with opera?
[05:45] <Jeriath> just doesnt like to save the information when i change it is all
[05:45] <jrgotti> ramza3: correct. it leaves you with a 15 minute window (by default). again, however, you still have to conciously enter "sudo" to run a command as root, virtually eliminating stupid errors.
[05:45] <peterretief> ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1268:(snd_pcm_direct_set_timer_params) unable to set timer parameters
[05:46] <qwerkus> peterretief: Wuhhh, a nice compilation error. Have you tried launchpad ?
[05:46] <ufarooq> hey everyone
[05:47] <ufarooq> i just installed ubuntu, and i'm loving it
[05:47] <ufarooq> however i seem to be having one problem
[05:47] <qwerkus> ufarooq: good start
[05:47] <peterretief> qwerkus: what would i do with launchpad?
[05:47] <jrgotti> ufarooq: welcome, and of course you are. it wouldnt be linux otherwise :P
[05:47] <qwerkus> peterretief: check if someone else noticed your probe - and perhaps find an answer ...
[05:48] <peterretief> qwerkus: sorry for the dumb question?
[05:48] <peterretief> ah ok
[05:48] <Jeriath> working now :D
[05:48] <Jeriath> w00t
[05:48] <Poisonkiller> jrgotti: i didn't have any problems when first trying out linux :P
[05:48] <jrgotti> Poisonkiller: i envy you. then again, the first distro i tried was gentoo. talk about dreaming in technicolor.
[05:49] <ufarooq> sorry for the intro, felt it was important, anyways, the problem im having is with my usb soundcard, ive got a soundblaster i think its 16bits. i can get sound ot of it, however when i change the volume in the mixer, it is really weird, the two channells dont stay linked, and by pressing the volume up button it doesnt always go up, sometime it goes down, sometimes it goes up, its weird, i dunno if anyone can help
[05:49] <peterretief> qwerkus: i think its since ubuntu updated its ui from mesa - boson is just a game i guess
[05:50] <qwerkus> ufarooq: your best option is to check out the homepage / forum of the team developping the driver you use
[05:50] <ufarooq> i see, and how do i find out what driver im using, it just seemed to work out of the box so far
[05:50] <xLE> what's a good IRC program for ubuntu
[05:50] <xLE> ?
[05:50] <loke> irssi
[05:50] <loke> or xchat
[05:51] <Poisonkiller> xLE: im using opera's built in IRC client
[05:51] <irreducibilis> Poisonkiller: Same here
[05:51] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: did you get anything?
[05:51] <xLE> do you have to compile xchat
[05:51] <Dr_willis_> i never even noticed opera had one
[05:51] <Dr_willis_> !info xchat
[05:51] <qwerkus> loke: depends on your love: gui or cmdline
[05:51] <irreducibilis> I found it on accident
[05:51] <ubotu> xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.4-0ubuntu5 (gutsy), package size 300 kB, installed size 808 kB
[05:51] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: nope
[05:51] <loke> I prefer cli so I chose irssi =]
[05:51] <jrgotti> xLE: pidgin!
[05:52] <loke> xLE: sudo apt-get install xchat

[05:52] <Le^stat> morning
[05:52] <xLE> ye
[05:52] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: hajiki: do a "cat /etc/usplash.conf" is your monitor capable of displaying that resolution?
[05:52] <loke> g'morning?
[05:52] <mikubuntu> anybody else having a problem installing cnr plugin from linspire?  i installed on another machine no problem, but getting this error when i try to put it on my laptop:
[05:52] <mikubuntu> Dependency is not satisfiable: libapt-pkg-libc6.4-6-3.53
[05:52] <crush_groove>  never tried ircII ,., is it a good client?
[05:52] <jrgotti> Le^stat: i was bout to say goodnight.
[05:52] <Jeriath> wow...xchat is so much nicer than mirc
[05:52] <Jeriath> :P
[05:52] <Le^stat> :)
[05:52] <Le^stat> south africa its morning bru
[05:52] <Le^stat> but sleep tight
[05:52]  * Dr_willis_ scoffs at mIRC - *scoff* *Scoff!*
[05:52] <Le^stat> :)
[05:52] <loke> =p
[05:53] <Poisonkiller> ok bye, i'm going to watch Bleach :D
[05:53] <irreducibilis> Bleach!
[05:53] <Dr_willis_> !find libapt
[05:53] <ubotu> Found: apt, apt-utils, libapt-front-dev, libapt-pkg-dev, libapt-pkg-doc (and 3 others)
[05:53] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: no, my monitor doesnt have that resolution
[05:53] <qwerkus> peterretief: can't really help you out; last time i compiled alsa, it was under FreeBSD ...
[05:53] <Dr_willis_> !find libapt-pkg
[05:53] <ubotu> Found: apt, libapt-pkg-dev, libapt-pkg-doc, libapt-pkg-perl
[05:53] <andrew[andrboot]> dumy questoin.. im assuming the amd 64 cd works with quad core duo's correctly?
[05:53] <loke> quad core..duos?
[05:54] <loke> either way the answer is yes
[05:54] <Dr_willis_> It should andrew
[05:54] <andrew[andrboot]> awesome lol
[05:54] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: "sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf" and change it to something your monitor can handle, like xres=1024 and yres=768
[05:54] <andrew[andrboot]> must have been the bad ram causing my problems before
[05:54] <qwerkus> peterretief: you can always try to out the ready-to-use package from ubuntu, by reinstalling it
[05:54] <glick_> excuse me what do i have to install to get django orking with apache?
[05:54] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: ok, Done
[05:55] <peterretief> qwerkus: i guess -
[05:55] <elinsurrecto> hey everyone
[05:55] <loke> hi
[05:55] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: i'd hate to say it but try a reboot
[05:55] <elinsurrecto> anyone experienced with installing compiz fusion?
[05:55] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: hehe, ok
[05:55] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: actually...hold on..
[05:56] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: ok
[05:56] <andrew[andrboot]> elinsurrecto which version of ubuntu
[05:56] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: try this...from terminal, type "sudo usplash"...to get back here, ctrl-alt-f7
[05:56] <elinsurrecto> i have 7.10 32bit
[05:56] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: see if usplash comes up
[05:56] <loke> elinsurrecto: 7.10 has fusion installed by default.
[05:56] <andrew[andrboot]> elinsurrecto it comes build it.. just enabled the 3d stuff  in apperances :)
[05:57] <Law506> i just did the sudo usplash and got the normal black screen
[05:57] <elinsurrecto> i got to visual effects right?
[05:57] <andrew[andrboot]> woo @ kitofhawaii thanks for that uspalsh thingo :P been pissing me off for a while.. stupid i810
[05:57] <kitofhawaii> AndrewB: lol
[05:57] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: nothing just a black screen
[05:57] <elinsurrecto> when i choose extra and click preferences it wont do anything
[05:58] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: ok try putting a lower resolution, heck go all the way down to xres=800, yres=600
[05:59] <qwerkus> just wondering: how many of you use the "automatic update" feature of ubuntu ?
[05:59] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: OMG it worked with 800x600!!!
[05:59] <Le^stat> there is an automatic update feature?
[05:59] <crush_groove>  I do .. but I  always review
[05:59] <qwerkus> I simply can t stand auto-stuff - and always do it the old way ...
[05:59] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: lol well try rebooting now
[06:00] <loke> apt-get update && apt-get upgrade is roughly automatic?
[06:00] <hajiki> ok
[06:00] <elinsurrecto> i just get normal effects
[06:00] <kitofhawaii> qwerkus: i do it all the time...helps me keep up on when something breaks in case a client calls about it :)
[06:01] <qwerkus> well; i was just tired about the "gosh, where is that nice feature of app xy i used to love ???"
[06:02] <qwerkus> i think, for a proper end-user update, one should first read most of the release notes
[06:02] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[06:03] <hajiki> kitofhawaii: Thank you SO much!
[06:03] <eifzon> How can I search and add wireless networks on Ubuntu (gnome). I also want to add some network as 'favorites' if it possible. Thankful for help!
[06:03] <kitofhawaii> hajiki: hurrah hurrah :)
[06:03] <robotic> loke: thanks for your help.  I quit Firefox and suddenly dev/dsp is free
[06:03] <qwerkus> eifzon: use a tool called wlanconfig
[06:03] <qwerkus> makes life easy in Wifi
[06:03] <eifzon> qwerkus: ok, is it just to apt-get ?
[06:03] <robotic> loke: apparently Firefox doesn't report its usage of /dev/dsp, or possibly flash player is to blame
[06:04] <loke> Ah, odd.
[06:04] <qwerkus> yup
[06:04] <tubetop> howdy
[06:04] <loke> Oh, flash very likely.
[06:04] <loke> Flash is...annoying relating to sound.
[06:04] <qwerkus> eifzon: apt-get install wlanconfig
[06:04] <eifzon> not found
[06:04] <robotic> thanks for the assistance
[06:04] <loke> Np.  Glad you got it worked out.
[06:05] <tubetop> I can make ubuntu desktop server nfs and samba and printers,....right?  I don't need to use servers for this
[06:05] <tubetop> serve*
[06:05] <loke> tubetop: Server edition is just a bare install, the desktop edition is the same with additional packages and a GUI.
[06:05] <elinsurrecto> any way to enable the 3D effects i cant get it to work
[06:05] <elinsurrecto> >.<
[06:05] <tubetop> i like guis
[06:05] <Dr_willis_> depends on your card and system :)
[06:05] <tubetop> ;)
[06:06] <qwerkus> eifzon: STOP
[06:06] <kitofhawaii> tubetop: yes you can use ubuntu desktop to serve out nfs and samba
[06:06] <qwerkus> eifzon: it is wifi-radar
[06:06] <pingu_> does anyone know the program to have your windows sit on your desktop and we you move your curser over one it comes forward
[06:06] <qwerkus> eifzon: wlanconfig is the atheros driver tool; sry !
[06:06] <loke> pingu, that's likely a compiz plugin
[06:07] <eifzon> qwerkus: ok, do you know anything other?
[06:07] <xzased> hiya peeps. I need some help setting up vnc to control a pc at work
[06:07] <qwerkus> eifzon: well; i do it via scripting
[06:07] <qwerkus> using iwconfig
[06:07] <boontoo> how do i check if a movie .avi file is actually an .avi file not just data named as an avi file before i finnish downloading it?
[06:07] <eifzon> ok, but how can I do this the easy way?
[06:08] <xzased> I set the pc at work as a host
[06:08] <tubetop> kitofhawaii: this was abaars, but it was taken...LOL.  I got the two shares up, I can see them, but when I copy into them from windows I get an error about permissions.  For the samba users I add I want the shares to act just like an attached USB HD
[06:08] <xzased> and can use vnc with local computers (on the same network)
[06:08] <kitofhawaii> pingu_: system -> preferences -> windows, check the button "select windows when the mouse moves over them"
[06:08] <qwerkus> eifzon: easy way: wifi-radar
[06:08] <xzased> but not at home
[06:08] <boontoo> gtkwifi is better than wifi-radar
[06:09] <mikefoo> Anyone run xen here?
[06:09] <eifzon> qwerkus: ty, will try it
[06:09] <qwerkus> eifzon: less easy way, adding a #!/bin/bash script in your /etc/inid.d directory
[06:09] <Dr_willis_> boontoo,  could do 'file whatever.avi'
[06:09]  * loke is sleeping now.  No more questions!!
[06:10] <tubetop> so if I go to ubuntu desktop and I want to do DVD burning of movies...would KDE or Gnome based ubuntu be better...any preferences in the crowd?
[06:10] <eifzon> thanks qwerkus
[06:10] <loke> tubetop: No difference.  You can install packages from either.
[06:10] <irreducibilis> I like Slax.
[06:10]  * loke is sleeping for real this time.
[06:10] <jrgotti> eff this game! you win grandma! its 4 in the morning and im stuck on baltic with crack!
[06:10] <pingu_> kitofhawaii: thats kinda it but instead of just having them anywhere they line up and shrink
[06:10] <jrgotti> (going to sleep)
[06:10] <boontoo> Dr_willis it shows as : Data, that means that its a fake avi? or do you need to wait for it to finnish downloading as maybe all files are data until they are complete?
[06:10] <Dr_willis_> tubetop,  proberly wont matter. :)  Of course finding the proper tools to do the video burning may be a bit harder.
[06:10] <pingu_> you kinda have to see it

[06:12] <robotic> Hi Mozart; afraid not, but perhaps you could tell us a little about your problem?
[06:12] <logankoester> I've run into the "No space left on device" problem using the livecd
[06:12] <logankoester> how can I overcome this?
[06:12] <kitofhawaii> pingu_: does your friend use AWN?
[06:12] <robotic> tanka_001:I can help with this
[06:12] <mozart> yes please i have been trying sincce yesterday
[06:12] <loke> kitofhawaii: Compiz fusion!!!
[06:12] <tanka_001> ok cool
[06:13] <mozart> i cant rip to my home music from shoutcast, streamtuner
[06:13] <loke> He's looking for the scale pugin for compiz fusion
[06:13] <robotic> tanka_001: which codecs do you need?
[06:13] <robotic> tanka_001: if you look in the synaptic package manager, you can download additional codecs
[06:13] <pingu_> yes
[06:13] <logankoester> I can't use apt-get to remove software, because it says I need to run "dpkg --configure -a" first, but that fails saying no space left on device - what can I do?
[06:13] <mozart> Please i need some help with StreamTuner, thread here, thanks http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3937867#post3937867
[06:14] <eifzon> How do I add a new theme to Ubuntu, a gtk2 one.
[06:14] <tanka_001> all I know is that I have downloaded vlc and other dvd players they say I need a codex and I cant find them in the add/remove programs
[06:14] <tubetop> so if i have server already on the machine, can I apt-get some uber package to get to the ubuntu desktop or kbuntu?
[06:14] <kitofhawaii> loke: ah...
[06:14] <mozart> i installed gutsy new and now have problems, before my streamtuner worked fine, but i changed to SUSE inbetween
[06:14] <greente1> tanka_001, go to http://erusan.googlepages.com
[06:14] <zell> hi
[06:14] <greente1> it has all the codecs and how to install them
[06:15] <zell> I have a question
[06:15] <tubetop> or should I install from desktop cd install
[06:15] <kitofhawaii> pingu_: loke's right. i have my compiz fusion set up to scale when i move the mouse to the upper right hand side of the screen. it shrinks all the windows and hovers them until i pick one
[06:15] <robotic> tanka_001: sure, try greentel's suggestion
[06:15] <greente1> tubetop, try installing ubuntu-desktop
[06:15] <kitofhawaii> pingu_: i guess i didn't recognize it by the description (kinda used to having it there :) )
[06:15] <robotic> tanka_001: the program easyubuntu does automatic codec downloading, I believe, as well
[06:15] <loke> Ubuntu desktop is a meta-package.  try gnome-desktop
[06:16] <robotic> logankoester: I take it you tried sudo, which is the obvious thing to do
[06:16] <logankoester> robotic: Yeah
[06:16] <robotic> logankoester: can you paste your exact message?
[06:16] <tubetop> k...thanks  so ubuntu desktop has gnome-desktop in it right?
[06:16] <tanka_001> easyubuntu where do I find that??
[06:16] <logankoester> robotic: I can't even get firefox to start, it segfaults now
[06:16] <logankoester> robotic: $ sudo dpkg --configure -a dpkg: failed to write status record about `dash' to `/var/lib/dpkg/status': No space left on device
[06:16] <xLE> lol
[06:16] <greente1> ubuntu-desktop is what you get with a normal desktop install, so yeah, it includes the complete gnome package
[06:16] <xLE> i'm in XCHAT, how do I get rid of the red line?
[06:17] <robotic> tanka_001:did you try to search for "codec" in synaptic?
[06:17] <logankoester> robotic: $ sudo apt-get remove openoffice E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[06:17] <robotic> tanka_001: that should give you the gstreamer codecs
[06:17] <Dr_willis_> The red line is good. :) err. what red line?
[06:17] <tanka_001> where is the synaptic
[06:17] <robotic> logankoester: is your disk full?
[06:17] <xLE> it separates text, in the chat.
[06:17] <logankoester> robotic: my hdd no, but I'm running from the livecd
[06:17] <tanka_001> nm I found it
[06:17] <greenT> the problem is that he has to add medibuntu if he wants codecs, so simply searching repos won't show anything
[06:18] <Dr_willis_> xLE,  yes.. thats a feature. :)  to let ya know when ya left/lost focus/stopped watching a channel.. its in the settings.
[06:18] <robotic> greenT: can he download the medibuntu package?
[06:18] <Zikiti> how can I make the window borders smaller
[06:18] <Zikiti> ?
[06:18] <greenT> it's an entire repository where codecs are kept, since ubuntu can't host the codecs it has to be added manually
[06:18] <robotic> logankoester: OK, then it's trying to write things locally to the hard drive, but can't because the 'hard drive' is the boot drive, the CD
[06:18] <Ubuntu2> u can't download and save a big pack on the live cd will not work
[06:18] <greenT> there are instructions for installing all the codecs at http://erusan.googlepages.com
[06:18] <robotic> tanka_001: did you catch that?  you'll need to add a repository to get the codecs
[06:19] <xLE> oh is it
[06:19] <xLE> cool, i'll try and get used to it now.
[06:19] <robotic> tanka_001: see the page greenT just posted
[06:19] <robotic> tanka_001: it will explain it
