[02:45] <ardchoille> kingcobra: I have used gnome for years and loved it. However, I recently switched to Window MAker and I am liking it more.

[02:46] <FringeJacket> MrDrake isn't 6.10 edgy?
[02:46] <MrDrake> Yeah..
[02:46] <SeveredCross> Oh, those are nice too (the ones in /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrouns). Thanks for telling me about them. :)
[02:46] <ardchoille> !automatix | MrDrake
[02:46] <ubotu> MrDrake: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[02:46] <Harkanoid> irc.intruded.net
[02:46] <MrDrake> I can't use edgy's version can I?
[02:46] <anirudha> todd, My default Network List does not include Ohio as a channel on XChat for Ubuntu. What' s at Ohio?
[02:46] <kingcobra> ardchoille, is window maker a complete replacement for gnome like kde

[02:47] <MrDrake> My question is why haven't they made a release for Dapper 6.10?
[02:47] <todd> <ani Rudha> yes a friend of mine, i went to alabama so i aint able to get ahold of him right now
[02:48] <ardchoille> kingcobra: perhaps we should take this to offtopic? I'll meet you there. Not sure if this is actually ot or not.
[02:48] <Foon> MrDrake: Ubuntu 6.10 is Edgy Eft
[02:48] <Foon> :)
[02:48] <Flannel> MrDrake: don't use automatix.
[02:48] <FringeJacket> foon its been pointed out to him already
[02:48] <CyberCod> Can anyone tell me how to backup the MBR using dd?
[02:48] <Foon> ah
[02:48] <ardchoille> kingcobra: Well, Window Maker is in the repos, so we can talk about it here until someone decides otherwise.
[02:48] <MrDrake> Isn't edgy Kubuntu?
[02:49] <Foon> MrDrake: nope
[02:49] <MrDrake> I see

[02:49] <Flannel> MrDrake: Don't use automatix.  It'll break your system, and we won't support it.
[02:49] <Flannel> RoundyT1: eh?  What did you do to that file?

[02:51] <RoundyT1> Flannel, what do you mean? that's a standard virtual host file
[02:51] <drew> it says they're missing Flannel

[02:53] <ardchoille> Bengie_: ?
[02:54] <Bengie_> ardchoille, nuts its kingcobra here
[02:54] <Toma-> AntiLaVista: turn off that away message before you get kicked
[02:54] <ardchoille> Bengie_: Ah, well Window Maker is in the repos so I don't think it's ot
[02:54] <drew> anyone know how to fix that?
[02:54] <Toma-> drew: get the w32codecs package from somewhere else :)
[02:54] <ardchoille> Bengie_: http://www.windowmaker.info/
[02:55] <kingcobra_> ardchoille, im back again :)
[02:55] <ardchoille> kingcobra_: If you want to try it out: sudo apt-get install wmaker
[02:55] <RoundyT1> Flannel, why would i need all of that extra code?
[02:55] <drew> Toma-: thats what i asked, if anyone had another repository handy
[02:55] <Flannel> RoundyT1: it's not extra.  It does stuff.  But, if you know you only need a stripped version, go with it.
[02:56] <Silent_Chaos> whats the best way to install nvidia drivers?
[02:56] <Clearzen> drew: try sudo tee -a deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main
[02:56] <ant-> Silent_Chaos : probly envy
[02:56] <kingcobra_> ardchoille, is it a replacement for gnome
[02:56] <Silent_Chaos> ant-: ok i will try that
[02:56] <Flannel> Clearzen, drew, don't use debian repositories
[02:56] <ant-> !envy | Silent_Chaos
[02:56] <ubotu> Silent_Chaos: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. This software is NOT supported by ubuntu and you will not receive aid for it here. More at http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html See !nvidia and !nvidia9
[02:57] <Clearzen> flannel: you can do it. I have, but some packages are not compatable. I've never had problems with these however
[02:57] <ardchoille> kingcobra_: gnome is a desktop environment, wmaker is a window manager. It doesn't have a theme manager or sessions management, but you can easily get around those.
[02:57] <drew> Clearzen: nope =[
[02:57] <Silent_Chaos> !nvidia

[02:57] <drew> 'no such file or directory' laaame!

[02:58] <Caplain> whats the umask to allow all users write access to a fat32 partition?

[02:58] <Toma-> drew: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/04/libdvdcss2-and-w32codecs-for-ubuntu/
[02:58] <kingcobra_> ardchoille, is it a replacement for x then which i think is a window manager, im not sure though yes im on edgy

[02:58] <ant-> kingcobra_ : i use gnome as my desktop with fluxbox as my wm, its pretty nice but minimalistic
[02:59] <ardchoille> kingcobra_: Desktops and window managers run on top of x. You can use wmkaer as a replacement for gnome, yes.
[02:59] <Flannel> ardchoille, kingcobra_, replacement for metacity (in gnome)
[02:59] <ardchoille> Flannel: I use wmaker as a wm without gnome, tho
[03:00] <ant-> ardchoille : so you get no gnome apps?
[03:00] <Flannel> ardchoille: right.  No one says you have to have anything more than a window manager.  Well, you don't even need a window manager.
[03:00] <Justi1> ard, that is oldschool
[03:00] <kingcobra_> ardchoille, ah yes
[03:00] <ardchoille> ant-: You can use gnome apps in gnome, kde, window maker, blackbox, etc.
[03:00] <Silent_Chaos> where would i find envy for install?
[03:00] <ardchoille> !envy
[03:00] <ubotu> envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. This software is NOT supported by ubuntu and you will not receive aid for it here. More at http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html See !nvidia and !nvidia9
[03:01] <ant-> ardchoille : yes but to have the gnome apps on your comp it is easy to assume you've installed gnome, do you install each app independently?
[03:01] <ant-> thats gotta suck
[03:01] <billboforealdoe> i lost wireless option when i upgraded from dapper to edgy, does anyone know a fix
[03:01] <ardchoille> ant-: Ah, no, I installed Ubuntu and then installed wmaker for use. I use gnome apps in wmaker.
[03:02] <ardchoille> ant-: so I have all the gnome stuff too
[03:02] <ant-> ardchoille : so you get the hundreds of gnome apps with wm? i'm confused
[03:02] <drew> Clearzen: ty, one of those worked, dont even know which though., Toma- ty.
[03:02] <kingcobra_> Flannel, is metacity a window manager and also what is x
[03:02] <Toma-> drew: np
[03:02] <Justi1> ah, that makes sense.
[03:02] <Flannel> ant-: "gnome apps" are just apps that run on GTK, "KDE" apps are apps that use QT.  Any windows manager can make windows for either/any other graphics toolkit.
[03:03] <ardchoille> ant-: the window manager just manages windows, you can run gnome apps in any window manager, and I think you can run any kde app in any window manager.
[03:03] <Justi1> you don't need GNOME running to use the apps
[03:03] <Clearzen> drew: np
[03:03] <Justi1> genii, I hope those are Cliff bars
[03:03] <ardchoille> Justi1: Exactly
[03:03] <genii> Justi1: Nope, No Frills bars :)
[03:03] <ant-> ardchoille : i know that, but do you install all the gnome apps independently (one by one)
[03:03] <genii> President's Choice or so
[03:04] <spasticteapot> Dumb question, but how do I get Sun-Java enabled for Firefox?
[03:04] <Justi1> I show up as justi1 huh?
[03:04] <Justi1> how do I change that?
[03:04] <eRazor> Hi everyone
[03:04] <ardchoille> ant-: No, I installed Ubuntu, that uses gnome by default, then I installed and use wmaker. So, I had all the gnome stuff already when I installed Ubuntu
[03:04] <Flannel> kingcobra_: metacity is a window manager (it's gnome's window manager).  X is the ... graphical... uh, ether.  that all these GUI programs run on.  Technically, you don't even need a window manager to run a program ontop of X.

[03:04] <spasticteapot> I kinda need to get on a Java-based chatroom for assorted stupid reasons.

[03:05] <genii> Justi1 :)
[03:05] <billboforealdoe>  i lost wireless option when i upgraded from dapper to edgy, does anyone know a fix
[03:05] <ardchoille> Flannel: That would be ot, right?
[03:06] <Justi1> I always thought that windowmaker needed a little graphics overhaul
[03:06] <Justi1> crap
[03:06] <Justi1> <----clueless
[03:06] <ardchoille> Justi1: The current version (it's in the repos) is quite nice.
[03:06] <eRazor> Can anyone tell me how to install Flash plugins on my Edgy Eft So I can Youtube videos on my FireFox itself
[03:06] <Flannel> ardchoille: What?  Installing WM?  I'd consider it ontopic, although rather noisy.  You might take it to -classroom or something.  although, -offtopic would be a fine place for it too
[03:07] <harry> I have festival reading my Gaim messages; is there a way to make it talk more slowly?
[03:07] <spasticteapot> Flannel: Thanks!
[03:07] <ardchoille> Flannel: #ubuntu-classroom is excellent, thanks
[03:07] <spasticteapot> I swear, Fiesty is the best thing I've used in a while.

[03:08] <spasticteapot> billboforealdoe: I could'nt ever make it work.
[03:08] <ant-> ardchoille : i had to step away, are we still talking about wm's?
[03:08] <orian> billboforealdoe: install gnome-networkmanager and then edit your /etc/network/interface file
[03:08] <ardchoille> ant-: Sure
[03:09] <billboforealdoe> i will try gnome real fast
[03:09] <spasticteapot> billboforealdoe: Have fun learning IWConfig - I've tried just about every GUI wifi manager.
[03:09] <billboforealdoe> oh
[03:09] <billboforealdoe> not up for that
[03:09] <ant-> ardchoille : ok my point earlier was that you still have gnome, you just change it at the session manager no?
[03:09] <billboforealdoe> i was told earlier to try rutile
[03:09] <Clearzen> eRazor: an easy way to do it is find a website that will automaticly install the flash plugin for firefox like liveleak.com. Just click and click next.
[03:09] <billboforealdoe> rutil*
[03:09] <ardchoille> ant-: Right
[03:10] <kelsey1203128443> can some1 help me?  I am trying to install ubuntu for the first time ever, even more just time ever trying to work with linux and i seem to be having issues can some pm me and help me out?
[03:10] <ant-> ardchoille : ok
[03:10] <Shaba1> anyone ever use and applet call ksayit
[03:10] <spasticteapot> billboforealdoe: Try feisty. It rocks.
[03:10] <Shaba1> and how do I shut OFF the screen saver

[03:10] <spasticteapot> Whad' ya need help with?
[03:10] <Shaba1> becasue I have to power down and back up on my laptop to get back to the xubuntu desktop when the screen saver kicks in
[03:10] <billboforealdoe> i just got edgy. does wine and cedega work on it?
[03:10] <orian> billboforealdoe: it's not hard you can find the instructions by googling gnome-networkmanager or try the ubuntu forums you'll find the insructions there too
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> billboforealdoe: if you install it
[03:11] <billboforealdoe> i still havent gotten wine to work
[03:11] <billboforealdoe> cant find where to even start it
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> billboforealdoe: http://www.winehq.org
[03:11] <billboforealdoe> im brand new at linux.
[03:12] <dreadknought> i've got a problem with installation
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> billboforealdoe: that link can't be anymore simple in explaining it.
[03:12] <spasticteapot> billboforealdoe: So, what's your problem?
[03:12] <tweak> this noob is stoked! I'm using linux!
[03:12] <dreadknought> can somebody help me?
[03:12] <spasticteapot> dreadknought: Slow down.
[03:12] <ardchoille> tweak: :)
[03:12] <spasticteapot> One at a time, please!
[03:12] <spasticteapot> tweak: Fiesty or Edgy?
[03:12] <tweak> edgy
[03:13] <tweak> is fiesty the beta?
[03:13] <spasticteapot> tweak: Feisty's even better.
[03:13] <spasticteapot> tweak: It's IN beta. Soon, it'll be released, and replace Edgy.
[03:13] <|Jason8|> Hey guys, I have this REALLY old laptop (Pentium 233 MHz and 32 megs of RAM).  Can you guys tell me if I could run 5.10, 6.06, or 6.10 on it with a GUI?
[03:13] <Dasnipa`> |Jason8|, that is probably iffy
[03:13] <tweak> spastic: i think I need more experience before I mess with betas
[03:13] <Flannel> |Jason8|: 32MB?  With GUI?  Doubt it.
[03:14] <genii> |Jason8|: You'll need more RAM
[03:14] <|Jason8|> darn.
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> |Jason8|: you'll probably need more ram
[03:14] <tweak> but I got edgy to wrk with my wi-fi card!
[03:14] <genii> (or a 192 mb swap partition)
[03:14] <tweak> I'm stoked
[03:14] <spasticteapot> |Jason8|: Try IceWM?
[03:14] <eRazor> Can some one here tell me how to change my monitor type?
[03:14] <spasticteapot> I know Damn Small will work.
[03:14] <|Jason8|> IceWM?  Different Distro?
[03:14] <ardchoille> |Jason8|: You might try fluxbox
[03:14] <ant-> |Jason8| : or fluxbox
[03:14] <genii> |Jason8|: You may want to tru Damn Small Linux, as spasticteapot recommends
[03:14] <ardchoille> |Jason8|: They are window managers.
[03:14] <eugman> What's a good way to get a c++ programming envrioment setup?
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> |Jason8|: yeah, i was gonna suggest ice or flux.
[03:14] <spasticteapot> IceWm is a VERY light window manager/gui.
[03:15] <Firefoxman> How can I make it so that NUMLOCK is active at the login window?
[03:15] <spasticteapot> Very simplistic - works well, though.
[03:15] <|Jason8|> Okay.  I'll check it out.
[03:15] <|Jason8|> thanks :)
[03:15] <tweak> do you think eating a moth could kill you?
[03:15] <genii> eugman Install the build-essential, kernel headers, linux-source   then some good IDE
[03:15] <spasticteapot> tweak: No. Though some moths are mildly poisonous.
[03:15] <kelsey1203128443> firefox, that is a bios setting
[03:15] <ardchoille> eugman: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:15] <tweak> i think one landed on my pizza
[03:15] <IndyGunFreak> |Jason8|: http://www.fluxbuntu.com
[03:15] <spasticteapot> tweak: Fiesty should be released in about two to four weeks.
[03:15] <Firefoxman> kelsey1203128443: So, how do I change it?
[03:15] <spasticteapot> tweak: Don't worry about it.
[03:15] <ardchoille> spasticteapot: iirc, 10 days :)
[03:16] <ardchoille> 20 days
[03:16] <kelsey1203128443> I do not remember when exactly it is in the bios
[03:16] <tweak> so It's issues are ironed out for the most part
[03:16] <ant-> feisty should be out april 19
[03:16] <|Jason8|> IndyGunFreak, thanks.
[03:16] <Firefoxman> spasticteapot: Is Fiesty ok to use in a home envirment yet?
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> |Jason8|: no sweat
[03:16] <harry> I have festival reading my Gaim messages; is there a way to make it talk more slowly?
[03:16] <kelsey1203128443> but go threw there and an option will be numlock on at start,  then you toggle yes or no, or on or off what ever it is
[03:16] <genii> ant- What, no April Fool's Day release??? ROFL
[03:16] <eugman> genii, any ideas about that last one?
[03:16] <Firefoxman> thanks, kelsey.
[03:16] <genii> eugman Well, for KDE desktop there is Kdevelop
[03:17] <spasticteapot> Firefoxman: Feisty is workin' great for me.
[03:17] <|Jason8|> aw, fluxbuntu is down.
[03:17] <nullcode> Gaim messenger sux
[03:17] <nullcode> full of bugs
[03:17] <SeveredCross> Gaim owns.
[03:17] <Firefoxman> spasticteapot: Ok. I will look it up
[03:17] <genii> eugman There are some for gnome but I'm not overly familiar with those ones. Perhaps Anja
[03:17] <nullcode> nah
[03:17] <SeveredCross> Just don't get the beta.
[03:17] <IndyGunFreak> |Jason8|: yeah, just saw that
[03:17] <nullcode> i prefer amsn for msn
[03:17] <ardchoille> !anjuta
[03:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about anjuta - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:17] <spasticteapot> Firefoxman: I've just installed Xubuntu Feisty and it works beautifully.
[03:17] <SeveredCross> Actually, I'm using 2.0.0beta3 (didn't even realize it) and it works great.
[03:17] <nullcode> i just like gaim cause of it's multiple messaging enviroments
[03:17] <genii> ardchoille: Thanks :)
[03:17] <tweak> okay, happiness aside I do have one niggle about ubuntu on a laptop, maybe someone could give me a moment of their time?
[03:18] <spasticteapot> nullcode: I use Xchat.
[03:18] <ardchoille> genii: You're welcome :)
[03:18] <dreadknought> can someone answer what's hopefully a simple question?
[03:18] <kingcobra_> tweak, just ask
[03:18] <blackwidow> lol
[03:18] <spasticteapot> dreadknought: Sure.
[03:18] <ant-> fluxbuntu? i didn't know that existed
[03:18] <spasticteapot> Que pasa?
[03:18] <IndyGunFreak> ant-: yeah
[03:19] <tweak> well my laptop uses a touch pad, it registers double taps as a mouse click, and it ticks me off
[03:19] <spasticteapot> ant-: I've tried Fluxbox with Xubuntu and it worked poifect.
[03:19] <IndyGunFreak> ant-: as the name implies, its just ubuntu set up to go with Flux
[03:19] <ant-> whao
[03:19] <spasticteapot> dreadknought: What's the problem?
[03:19] <genii> tweak The better strategy is to state the nature of the issue. Then someone may know immediately rather than some general issue with ubuntu and laptops :)
[03:19] <dreadknought> ok, i got ubuntu 6.06 LTS shipped to me from canonical, but the live CD doesn't have the proper drivers for my ATI Radeon 8500 LE, so the only resolution is 640x480
[03:19] <tweak> it's easy to turn off in windows, but I can't figure out how to turn it off in ubuntu
[03:19] <genii> tweak Sorry, I see you got to that point now :)
[03:19] <blackwidow> i have a question anybody in here have beryl?
[03:19] <tweak> :P
[03:19] <ant-> i prefer having the power of gnome when i need it, but use fluxbox daily
[03:19] <salty> i use fluxbox on ubuntu alternate install and i love it
[03:19] <brandon__> How do I change the user Im on inside the terminal
[03:19] <dreadknought> as such, most of the important parts of the installation dialogs are off screen
[03:20] <brandon__> salty: fluxbuntu?
[03:20] <spasticteapot> dreadknought: It should work okay - just go under the config settings and set the resolution higher.
[03:20] <sa1> how do I mount a drive?
[03:20] <genii> brandon su <newusername>
[03:20] <salty> no ubuntu
[03:20] <dreadknought> what config settings?
[03:20] <brandon__> genii: god i knew it was that simple
[03:20] <brandon__> lol
[03:20] <spasticteapot> spasticteapot: I've used the default install with a Radeon 9000.
[03:20] <brandon__> genii: thanks
[03:21] <nullcode> spasticteapot: i use Xchat too
[03:21] <blackwidow> anyone know how to install beryl?
[03:21] <dreadknought> i can't see most of the dialogs, including the ok/next buttons or whatever is down there
[03:21] <genii> brandon__: There are some options for that command, you may want to do "man su" to see them. This includes simulationg full login or home dir etc etc
[03:21] <sa1> the beryl wiki tells how
[03:21] <FringeJacket> blackwidow what are you running?
[03:21] <blackwidow> lol
[03:21] <spasticteapot> nullcode: Well, regardless...I'm happy I'm not having to use it through the  terminal.
[03:21] <spasticteapot> dreadknought: Hmm..dunno.
[03:21] <spasticteapot> I just press "enter".
[03:21] <IndyGunFreak> |Jason8|:   http://www.thecodingstudio.com/opensource/linux/screenshots/index.php?linux_distribution=Fluxbuntu%20nBuild1%20Rev2
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> that'll give you an idea of what you'd be using
ubuntu desktop 6.10
[03:22] <|Jason8|> Thanks :)
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> its minimal, but very effective
[03:22] <dreadknought> i tried that, but i also don't want it to format my drives
[03:22] <tweak> well my laptop uses a touch pad, it registers double taps as a mouse click, and it ticks me off
[03:22] <kingcobra_> blackwidow, !beryl
[03:22] <dreadknought> which is something the default installation does
[03:22] <tweak> it's easy to turn off in windows, but I can't figure out how to turn it off in ubuntu
[03:22] <FringeJacket> yeah, the wiki should work for you then blackwidow
[03:22] <billboforealdoe> how do you run a program in terminal
[03:22] <kingcobra_> !beryl blackwidow
[03:22] <dreadknought> also, just pressing enter only gets me about 4 or 5 screens into it
ok ill try
[03:22] <ardchoille> IndyGunFreak: Nice. I may have to try fluxbuntu now.
[03:22] <Firefoxman> How can I change my Name in the community wiki?
[03:22] <drew> anyone use Logitech G5 mouse by any chance?
[03:22] <spasticteapot> billboforealdoe: Open the terminal, type the program name.
[03:22] <Firefoxman> I want to change it from Firefoxman
yes?
[03:22] <Firefoxman> to FireFoxMan
[03:22] <spasticteapot> drew: I used my MX510. Worked poifect.
[03:23] <Firefoxman> so it is a WikiWikiWord.
[03:23] <Dasnipa`> drew, logitech 518 here
[03:23] <kingcobra_> !beryl
[03:23] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[03:23] <drew> spasticteapot: maybe you can paste me your xorg.conf?
[03:23] <billboforealdoe> i did that and it tells me 3 options and i dont know how to pick the options
[03:23] <kingcobra_> there blackwidow
[03:23] <kingcobra_> ubotu
[03:23] <spasticteapot> drew: It should work, even if all the buttons won't.
[03:23] <blackwidow> ill brb gonna look at wiki
[03:23] <genii> Offhand - Anyone know yet of any OpenOffice wiki filters?
[03:23] <drew> spasticteapot: it works fine in gnome, quake is a different story =\
[03:23] <FringeJacket> Firefoxman /nick FireFoxMan
[03:23] <spasticteapot> If it's not working as a USB optical mouse, you have a problem.
[03:23] <calc> why is oodraw and oomath hidden from the gnome menu?
[03:24] <billboforealdoe> ew do you recognize this for wine.. wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\program.exe": Module not found
[03:24] <spasticteapot> drew: I'm not capable of running Quake on this thing.
[03:24] <drew> =[
[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> ardchoille: i figured you use fluxbuntu...lol
[03:24] <drew> do you at least have right button mapping spasticteapot ?
[03:24] <ardchoille> IndyGunFreak: Have in the past, it rocks. I use wmaker ATM.
[03:24] <blackwidow> ty king
[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> ardchoille: oh ok.. i haven't tried that one.
[03:24] <spasticteapot> Ironically, I live within 15 miles of Raven (the game studio), and I can't go to the LAN gaming they have.
[03:24] <kingcobra_> !fluxbuntu

[03:25] <drew> Dasnipa`: do your buttons work in firefox? (back, forward, etc)
[03:25] <arentoine> blackwidow : to install Beryl, you might also want to look at : blackwidow
[03:25] <Dasnipa`> drew, no.
[03:25] <arentoine> blackwidow : to install Beryl, you might also want to look at : http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/AiGLX
[03:25] <lethargic8> Hey i was wondering if anyone here has had any success with ati flgxr in edgy
[03:25] <billboforealdoe> ew do you recognize this for wine.. wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\program.exe": Module not found
[03:25] <spasticteapot> lethargic8: On my old laptop, it screwed up my laptop something nasty.
[03:25] <ardchoille> spasticteapot: Can you join ##ardchoille when you get a chance?
[03:25] <lethargic8> yea it hasnt screwed anything up but i cant get it to give me direct rendering
[03:26] <Firefoxman> FringeJacket: I ment on the Comunity Wiki
[03:26] <spasticteapot> ardchoiile?
[03:26] <arentoine> lethargic8 : I'm currently using edgy with flgxr
[03:26] <kingcobra_> is fluxbuntu another distro
[03:26] <spasticteapot> kingcobra_: Seems to be.
[03:26] <spasticteapot> I use Xubuntu.
[03:26] <IndyGunFreak> kingcobra_: as the name implies, its Ubuntu set up with Flux
[03:26] <Clearzen> kingcobra_: no , it is a desktop enviroment
[03:26] <kingcobra_> !flux
[03:26] <lethargic8> you wouldnt  recognize this error "Xlib: extension 'XFree86-DRI' missing on display "0.0
[03:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flux - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:26] <spasticteapot> ?
[03:27] <FringeJacket> Firefoxman hrm... you looked at all the edit pages
[03:27] <genii> As far as I know not offically supported. Basicall just ubuntu with flubox as the window manager however
[03:27] <spasticteapot> Fluxbox is the GUI - fluxbuntu is Ubuntu with Fluxbox.
[03:27] <Firefoxman> FringeJacket: Yep.
[03:27] <drew> Dasnipa`: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Activate_side-mouse-buttons_in_FireFox
[03:27] <drew> just came across this myself =\
[03:27] <wims> whenever i boot up x fails to start and i have to reinstall my nvidia drivers, then kill gdm and start it again for x to start. The nvidia installer does not change my xorg.conf. Anyone have an idea of why this happens ?
[03:27] <kelsey1203128443> firefoxman:  did you find it?
[03:28] <arentoine> lethargic8 : don't have it in my log.  What kind card do you have ?
[03:28] <Firefoxman> kelsey1203128443: Nope.
[03:28] <kelsey1203128443> : / lame sorry
[03:28] <lethargic8> arentoine: its the radeon xpress 1100
[03:28] <spasticteapot> wims: You have a doozy of a problem.
[03:28] <Firefoxman> g2g
[03:28] <arentoine> lethargic8 : mine is an X200 on motherboard
[03:28] <spasticteapot> arentoine: Huh...I had the predecessor to that chipset.
[03:29] <ardchoille> wims: Have you tried: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   and then restart x?
[03:29] <billboforealdoe> ew do you recognize this for wine.. wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\program.exe": Module not found
[03:29] <spasticteapot> arentoine: I'd stick away from FLGRX
[03:29] <lethargic8> arentoine: gotcha, dunno whats going on followed the tutorial from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=305665"
[03:29] <lethargic8> but no go
[03:29] <Mugwump09> I can't install Beryl, I have the .tar.bz2 extracted, but whenever I run the "sudo ./configure" command, it foes for a while and gives me this error, "checking for "xcomposite"... configure: error: xcomposite not found"
[03:30] <void^> Mugwump09: consider using the beryl-project.org repository instead of compiling it yourself?
[03:30] <lethargic8> spasticteapot: what would you recomend then to get 3d and direct rendering on ati
[03:30] <kingcobra_> Clearzen, so it could be used as replacement for gnome
[03:30] <arentoine> lethargic8 : can't remember wich howto I used but it needed recompile of the module...
[03:30] <kingcobra_> Flannel, is that true
[03:31] <Mugwump09> void^: and how exactly do I do that? I'm a total noob to linux
[03:31] <billboforealdoe> i cant freaking run wine!
[03:31] <arentoine> Now it works, if ain't broken ...
[03:31] <lethargic8> yea i did that too
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> billboforealdoe: is it installed?
[03:31] <billboforealdoe> yes
[03:31] <billboforealdoe> i get this error
[03:31] <billboforealdoe> wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\program.exe": Module not found
[03:31] <spasticteapot> lethargic8: Dunno - I just used my laptop for working.
[03:32] <IndyGunFreak> billboforealdoe: why do you have two slashes in your paths?
[03:32] <spasticteapot> I'm pretty boring, I guess.
[03:32] <lethargic8> spasticteapot: yea same here unfortunatly I need to look at some data in google earth
[03:32] <billboforealdoe> i have no clue
[03:32] <lethargic8> wich is not working for me right now using software
[03:32] <arentoine> lethargic8 : I tried the open Radeon driver ... It work except it's slow for screen saver
[03:32] <lethargic8> gotcha
[03:32] <IndyGunFreak> what are you trying to run in Wine?
[03:33] <spasticteapot> lethargic8: Well, I'd just go ahead and get a new video card, unless you've got a laptop.
[03:33] <billboforealdoe> wine itself
[03:33] <lethargic8> yea its a laptop
[03:33] <spasticteapot> spasticteapot: Same here. :)
[03:33] <IndyGunFreak> billboforealdoe: there's not really a "wine" itself, its just an emulator, that allows you to run windows programs
[03:33] <IndyGunFreak> it doesn't have  GUI
[03:33] <lethargic8> I would never buy a graphic card this crappy, just for work
[03:33] <billboforealdoe> so if i got a program i right click or something and have it open in it?
[03:33] <IndyGunFreak> well, wine is pretty hit miss.
[03:34] <spasticteapot> lethargic8: Try #ati?
[03:34] <lethargic8> yea giving that a show now
[03:34] <drew> http://news.windingroad.com/concept-cars/meet-cmmn-the-worlds-first-open-source-car/
[03:34] <drew> lol
[03:34] <ardchoille> kingcobra_: If you're looking for a window manager to use instead of gnome, you can look at the list at http://xwinman.org and then search for the ones you like in synaptic. There are some great window managers in the repos
[03:34] <spasticteapot> lethargic8: Trust me - you're better off getting a second PC for doing anything interesting.
[03:34] <spasticteapot> I've got an IBM X40 - kickass laptop, but it's slooow.
[03:35] <lethargic8> cant do that, this is my main work machine
[03:35] <spasticteapot> Still, 1.25GB of RAM helps.
[03:35] <spasticteapot> lethargic8: How much RAM? How much assigned to the integrated graphics?
[03:35] <lethargic8> 256 out of 2 gigs
[03:35] <spasticteapot> You might be able to fix this by assigning more RAM as VRAM in the BIOS.
[03:35] <spasticteapot> I know too dang much about laptops.
[03:35] <IndyGunFreak> billboforealdoe: are you wanting to more or less have a windows desktop inside Linux?
[03:35] <lethargic8> i dunno though, its an error in XFree86, how would more ram fix that
[03:36] <arentoine> lethargic8 : you might also want to wait for festy, looks promissing
[03:36] <billboforealdoe> yeah kind of
[03:36] <billboforealdoe> just wanted to run like itunes
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> billboforealdoe: is it yes or kind of?
[03:36] <lethargic8> arentoine: yea that is definitely true
[03:36] <Shaba1> shit
[03:36] <billboforealdoe> yes
[03:36] <spasticteapot> I installed the Java5 package - do I need to select it as the preferred version of Java?
[03:36] <penguin5201> anyone mind helping me with some wireless card issues?
[03:36] <spasticteapot> Shaba1: What's wrong?
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> i think there's a couple programs for linux to use ipods...
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> !ipod
[03:36] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[03:36] <spasticteapot> penguin5201: What's the problem?
[03:37] <baktaah> Anyone knows how to use screenlets?
[03:37] <billboforealdoe> well shoot
[03:37] <billboforealdoe> ill use that guide thanks. but does anyone know how to fix the wireless disappearing problem
[03:37] <spasticteapot> Soo...java?
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> !itunes
[03:37] <Drac|BComp> I need a way to make it so that a certain user can't log in at certain hours. How can I accomplish this?
[03:37] <ubotu> itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee
[03:37] <penguin5201> spasticteapot, ubuntu recognizes the wireless card, but even after i config it with the right ESSID, it still doesnt work, so then i tried to insall a driver for it, but now it doesnt show at all.
[03:37] <watchme> hi all...
[03:37] <Mugwump09> hey, I tried to add the beryl repository, but I get this error "sudo echo -e "\n## Beryl repository\ndeb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ edgy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
[03:37] <penguin5201> any way that i an force it to show in networking.
[03:38] <Mugwump09> oh fuck
[03:38] <cherrycotton> I'm trying to use my ACX111 wireless card on Feisty Fawn
[03:38] <kingcobra_> ardchoille, i think gnome is different to a window manager; a desktop environment

[03:38] <Mugwump09> "
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> !language | Mugwump09
[03:38] <cherrycotton> Can anybody help me?
[03:38] <ubotu> Mugwump09: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:38] <watchme> is anyone in here who can help me, and tell me how to fix my gconf-schemas?
[03:38] <spasticteapot> penguin5201: Run iwconfing in terminal.
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> !someone | cherry
[03:38] <ubotu> cherry: 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?
[03:38] <penguin5201> k.
[03:38] <ardchoille> kingcobra_: I just found a nice explanation: http://xwinman.org/intro.php
[03:38] <penguin5201> doing now.
[03:38] <billboforealdoe> when i upgraded to edgy the wireless internet option disappeared
[03:39] <penguin5201> "no wireless extensions" x 3
[03:39] <spasticteapot> billboforealdoe: I had the same problems.
[03:39] <spasticteapot> penguin5201: LSpci?
[03:39] <kingcobra_> ardchoille, great
[03:39] <spasticteapot> or LSUSB?
[03:39] <billboforealdoe> did you manage to fix?
[03:39] <Mugwump09> when I try to add the beryl repository, I get this error  "bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied
[03:39] <Mugwump09> "
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> Mugwump09: use sudo
[03:39] <penguin5201> i dont know exactly what you mean, but it's a pci card.
[03:39] <Mugwump09> I did
[03:39] <kingcobra_> ardchoille, ill hav a read o that now
[03:39] <cherrycotton> I ran iwconfig
[03:40] <IndyGunFreak> Mugwump09: well thats generally the only reason for a permission denied
[03:40] <spasticteapot> penguin5201: LSPCI will tell you the PCI cards.
[03:40] <baktaah> Anyone knows how to use screenlets?

[03:43] <spasticteapot> penguin5201: Well, Linux might not be detecting it.
[03:43] <lethargic8> if anyone else is having issues with flgxr I got it working
[03:43] <spasticteapot> Can't hurt, right?
[03:43] <penguin5201> spasticteapot, remember, i'm halfway through an installation, and it dissapeared after i ran a script.
[03:43] <spasticteapot> penguin5201: Oy vey.
[03:43] <spasticteapot> What sort of script?
[03:43] <zopu_>  Hi. I'm seeing a weird error with desktop effects. Compiz is crashing when I enable desktop effects, but only on one user account. On another account it runs smoothly. I'm on feisty. Can anyone help?
[03:44] <billboforealdoe> spasticteapot, how did you fix the wireless problem
[03:44] <penguin5201> spasticteapot, its a fresh install of ubuntu, im just gonna reformat, ill get back to you in a sec.
[03:44] <billboforealdoe> cause im tired of being plugged in
[03:45] <spasticteapot> billboforealdoe: GUI wifi manager?
[03:45] <spasticteapot> billboforealdoe: I just used IWconfig through the terminal.
[03:45] <spasticteapot> Sad, huh?
[03:45] <billboforealdoe> IWconfig didnt work
[03:45] <spasticteapot> Funny thing is...I'm on Feisty, which should work great with wifi, but I'm probbably going to keep using it.
[03:46] <spasticteapot> billboforealdoe: Then you have problems.
[03:46] <spasticteapot> Don't use caps.
[03:46] <billboforealdoe> god i freakin do
[03:46] <spasticteapot> Try "iwconfig".
[03:46] <spasticteapot> No cpas.
[03:46] <spasticteapot> *caps.
[03:46] <ant-> what do you mean iwconfig dont work
[03:46] <penguin5201> spasticteapot, would iwconfig work on a live cd bootup?
[03:46] <billboforealdoe> tells me i have no wireless extensions
[03:47] <ant-> oh, so it works but doesnt tell you what you want to hear
[03:47] <spasticteapot> penguin5201: Dunno.
[03:47] <spasticteapot> penguin5201: LSPCI should.
[03:47] <billboforealdoe> first time i think i put l

[03:47] <spasticteapot> Anyone know how to make Java work in Firefox?
[03:47] <penguin5201> spasticteapot, what is LSPCI?

[04:00] <Pelo> ardchoille,  yes it is
[04:01] <cafuego_> ardchoille: No. But I seem to have no problems with Etch apache2+php5 backported to Sarge and then installed on Edgy.
[04:01] <zopu_> so, if people can handle that I'd rather stay with compiz right now, is there a quick way to reset compiz settings for a user account?
[04:01] <cables> q_a_z_steve, or /usr/share/example-content
[04:01] <spasticteapot> ardchoille: No.
[04:01] <Pelo> zopu_,  go and ask in #compiz
[04:01] <zopu_> ok
[04:01] <spasticteapot> Most of them will make your install go boom.
[04:01] <ardchoille> mischko: Well, if a debian package breaks something, you'll know :)
[04:01] <mischko> How do i turn off these join/left messages?
[04:01] <cafuego_> ardchoille: So if anything, it depend on the package. Some work ok, some don't.
[04:01] <spasticteapot> Found that out the hard way...
[04:01] <zopu_> Thanks Pelo!
[04:02] <Pelo> zopu_,  don't mention it ...  ever ...

[04:05] <Pelo> ClarKent,  you can try asking in #winehq
[04:05] <str4`> hello
[04:05] <mjr> ClarKent, seems likely that if it actually needs wmp11 and not just pretends so, you'd best get a more co-operative player
[04:05] <cables> marcin, I've always just had to restart x to do that, unfortunately
[04:05] <marcin> i can use aticonfig --enable-monitor=lvds,crt1 however that'll create another backup of xorg.conf
[04:05] <kbidd> ClarKent, I don't think so, but like others said, #windhq would be able to answer better.
[04:05] <marcin> and i've got like 30 backups from doing that

[04:06] <marcin> so, how would i get Fn+F7 to work and not have a backup of my xorg.conf file created each time i switch displays?
[04:06] <str4`> confidential
[04:06] <Pelo> syosoft,  you can try avidemux if you want gui
[04:06] <syosoft> familiar w/ the way to merge avi's? i'm not..but n eed to do it...any advice is much appreciated.

[04:07] <cables> !multimedia | Kevlar_Soul, this one?
[04:07] <ubotu> Kevlar_Soul, this one?: For multimedia codecs see: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html and for applications see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications

[04:07] <mischko> Can I use Sarge packages on Ubuntu 6.10 then?
[04:07] <cables> mischko, I think it's discouraged
[04:08] <Pelo> mischko,  I think sarge packages are unstable,  your call
[04:08] <kbidd> mischko, yes, but you should use packages designed for 6.10 if at all possible
[04:08] <marcin> cables, kbrooks, any ideas?
[04:08] <syosoft> guessing i add a video and then "append" another...
[04:08] <syosoft> trying now...

[04:09] <Kevlar_Soul> What program for LOSSLESS player???

[04:14] <salty> sal i think that's for security...in case others are around
[04:15] <penguin5201> mmk
[04:15] <penguin5201> ty
[04:15] <ardchoille> salty: that is a security feature that protects your password from people looking oiver your shoulder
[04:15] <sa1> what do I do then
[04:15] <magnanimous> penguin5201: my experience has been that I don't need NDIS wrapper... and I've gotten a few of my friends wireless cards just up and running by installing "Network Manager" for them from "add remove progs"
[04:15] <salty> yes
[04:15] <Pelo> sa1 it is typed , it just doesn't show

[04:16] <magnanimous> it runs on my menu bar, next to the clock
[04:17] <magnanimous> and tells me what networks are availalble... before that I thought I needed ndiswrapper but turns out I was just connecting to the wrong networks, or sometimes just not connecting.

[04:22] <tur1> hi guys just what to ask what are the equivalent lib for this libxalan-c, libxerces-c and version 5 of libstdc++ in dapper?
[04:22] <Pelo> hajiko,  what distro are you running right now ?
[04:22] <harry> Is python portable?
[04:22] <tur1> i need this lib so i could install vitualbox
[04:23] <skel> harry: define portable
[04:23] <cinone01> cant find concrete answer in the forum anyone?..
[04:23] <skel> harry: it has a fairly diverse standard library.. so you typically don't need to do more than install python on the machine you want your script to run
[04:23] <Zenerek> question,I'm running an intel p3 800 something with 768(i think) of ram, I notice that opening programs seems to take longer than i might in windows however file transfers are clearly faster,I wonder if some of the slowdown is because i am still running the default 386 kernel, if i switch to 686 kernel will i see some improvment? and will i have to reinstall any apps or settings?
[04:23] <penguin5201> magnanimous: it says it wont run on my processor type (i386)
[04:23] <harry> i.e. can be used on any operating system withoutany significant code modification
[04:23] <cinone01> how to parse php files to run in the browser?.

[04:24] <cables> strager, I get cableroy, and so does everyone else...
[04:24] <Pelo> Zenerek,  don't know about faster but  you shoudlnT, have to reinstall any apps.   you might consider using  xubuntu , it is a bit lighter
[04:24] <strager> cables: Untabbable?  ;P
[04:24] <strager> hmm
[04:24] <cinone01> how to parse php files to run in the browser?.
[04:24] <salty> i need help configuring idjc
[04:25] <strager> cables: This client is weird then, lol
[04:25] <skel> harry: like writing and reading files and sockets and whatnot has worked fine in windows and linux for me without modification
[04:25] <cables> cinone01, can't do it... you need a server
[04:25] <strager> cinone01: CGI?
[04:25] <strager> !lamp | cinone01
[04:25] <ubotu> cinone01: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[04:25] <salty> !idjc
[04:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about idjc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:25] <cinone01> i already installed it the problem is it is opening a popup with option of how to open it..
[04:25] <harry> I learned how to use QBASIC a while ago and am looking to learn a newer language that I can use to make programs for myself & my friends, but they use Windows. what would you reccomend?
[04:26] <cinone01> how can i make it open directly on the browser.?
[04:26] <strager> cinone01: Then you didn't configure it properly, or installed it wrong.
[04:26] <skel> cinone01: sounds like a apache config problem
[04:26] <salty> perl
[04:26] <salty> python
[04:26] <Pelo> harry,   c++
[04:26] <Zenerek> that could be a big download on dialup,by the way last night i changed the swappiness seting and saw a clear improvment
[04:26] <salty> c++
[04:26] <ardchoille> harry: Python
[04:26] <strager> harry: Brainfuck ;P
[04:27] <harry> what?
[04:27] <ardchoille> strager: That's a tiny one
[04:27] <Pelo> Zenerek,   you can get one mailed to you free of charge or you can ask a freind to dl it for you
[04:27] <strager> ardchoille: Portable.
[04:27] <salty> harry try Python
[04:27] <Zenerek> could i just not change gui's?
[04:27] <harry> ok. Thanks
[04:27] <cinone01> strager: any idea why or how can i resolve it?..i look inthe forum but can find concrete answer
[04:28] <strager> cinone01: What guide did you originally follow?
[04:28] <Pelo> Zenerek,  you probably could,   try sudo apt-get install  xubuntu-desktop
[04:28] <kingcobra_> freebsd is not linux is it
[04:28] <strager> cinone01: Perhaps you have a broken link somewhere in a config file for the .so for PHP.
[04:28] <strager> *The PHP module
[04:28] <Pelo> Zenerek,  might be a heavy download for a dial-up
[04:28] <Zenerek> how large?
[04:29] <Pelo> Zenerek,  I don'T know
[04:29] <ardchoille> kingcobra_: No, that's a *BSD, different operating system.
[04:29] <kingcobra_> ardchoille, ok cool i thought something like that
[04:29] <Zenerek> well i'll look into it
[04:30] <Pelo> Zenerek,  http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/metapackages/xubuntu-desktop
[04:30] <cinone01> strager: i just installed it using apt-get
[04:30] <strager> cinone01: Installed what?
[04:30] <cinone01> apache
[04:30] <strager> Just "php" ?
[04:30] <strager> Just apache?

[04:31] <Pelo> type it in the terminal
[04:31] <strager> penguin5201: Is it hidden ?
[04:32] <puff> heya... I must be missing something obvious;  I've just set up an ubuntu box on a static IP address.
[04:32] <strager> penguin5201: For terminal: gksudo network-admin
[04:32] <xircx> when i tryed to pull space off my windows partition it wouldnt let me add it to my ubuntu partition
[04:32] <xircx> whys that
[04:32] <buffboy> kkk

[04:33] <buffboy> girls with msn add me<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:33] <salty> penguin5201 'system', 'administration', 'networking'
[04:33] <strager> cinone01: Did you... follow all that lamp guide?
[04:33] <puff> heya... I must be missing something obvious;  I've just set up an ubuntu box on a static IP address.  At the shell it doesn't appear to have a DNS server.
[04:33] <strager> buffboy: Pathetic.
[04:33] <penguin5201> oh thats it... thats not working for me
[04:33] <penguin5201> i can't connect
[04:33] <g4h> hey all, i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a problem i'm having with one of my machines. earlier today i attempted to upgrade my distro to 6.10 under xfce and at one point it hung, forcing me to reboot. after remooting i got to the login screen, logged in and then it hung on the desktop, no menus or icons, and a working mouse. then i tried installing KDE as a workaround till i could fine the source of the problem a
[04:33] <g4h> nd it does the same thing.
[04:33] <Pelo> xircx,  how did you go about it ?   resize ntfs then what ?
[04:34] <strager> xircx: Any error message?
[04:34] <xircx> no
[04:34] <strager> xircx: Do you already have four primary partitions and are trying to make another?
[04:34] <strager> xircx: What program did you use?  GParted?
[04:34] <xircx> but it wont let me add the unformatted parition space to my other paritition with linux
[04:34] <xircx> the one on the ubuntu cd
[04:35] <cinone01> strager: i'll try to reinstall it
[04:35] <Pelo> g'night folks
[04:35] <strager> xircx: How many partitions do you have now?
[04:35] <xircx> 4
[04:35] <strager> xircx: Did it resize successfully?
[04:35] <strager> xircx: Are any of your partitions extended?
[04:35] <xircx> no
[04:35] <xircx> yes
[04:35] <strager> No to which?
[04:36] <xircx> my linux one is extended
[04:36] <strager> So, you have four partitions
[04:36] <xircx> ya i bleave so
[04:36] <strager> one windows, two unknown, one extended with one linux partition (one ext3 ?) ?
[04:36] <xircx> 1 for windows and 3 for linux
[04:36] <strager> oh..
[04:36] <kingcobra_> 1flux
[04:36] <strager> ANY extended ??
[04:36] <xircx> i have a ex3 and a swap
[04:36] <kingcobra_> !flux
[04:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flux - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:37] <strager> K, here's an easier way
[04:37] <ardchoille> !fluxbox
[04:37] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[04:37] <xircx> the linux are extended
[04:37] <q_a_z_steve> Hey, I need the nelson mandela file, can someone give me a link? I need to download it into an OOo present. I'm not currently in Ubuntu
[04:37] <strager> xircx: type sudo parted
[04:37] <strager> xircx: in a terminal.
[04:37] <kingcobra_> thanx
[04:37] <ardchoille> :)
[04:37] <strager> xircx: Then type print all
[04:37] <ant-> kingcobra_ : you'll like fluxbox if you like light easy to config wm's
[04:37] <strager> xircx: nopaste the output, masking out private stuff if you waant
[04:38] <kingcobra_> ant-, ok thanks
[04:38] <strager> buffboy message fail..
[04:38] <xircx>  2      19.7GB  40.0GB  20.3GB  extended               lba
[04:38] <ardchoille> ant-: Wow, fluxconf is even in the repos, nice
[04:38] <xircx>  7      19.7GB  29.5GB  9862MB  logical   ext2
[04:38] <|Amon|> lol i was trying to get my 5 button mouse working and what i did was the left and right buttons (far right/left) were supposed to make the back buttons in firefox go back so i didnt have to go to the arrows all the time but now when i move my wheel it goes back/forth not up/down
[04:38] <xircx>  6      29.5GB  39.5GB  9994MB  logical   ext3
[04:38] <xircx> i wanna add them together
[04:38] <salty> i love fluxbox
[04:38] <|Amon|> think i messed up xorg.conf or imwheelrc
[04:38] <strager> xircx: It'd help to nopaste
[04:38] <strager> !nopaste | xircx
[04:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nopaste - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:38] <strager> gah
[04:38] <strager> !paste | xircx
[04:38] <ubotu> xircx: 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 (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:38] <kingcobra_> how do you extend the cutoff point for saved lines in xchat
[04:39] <cinone01> strager: still not working
[04:39] <xircx> !paste | xircx
[04:39] <cinone01> hmmm
[04:39] <strager> cinone01: Did you follow the entire guide ?
[04:39] <|Amon|> why cant we have a bot that we can flood that'll paste a link with the person's nick to the url on ubuntu's paste
[04:39] <strager> cinone01: Including configuring Apache for PHP usage?
[04:39] <cinone01> on installing it?.yeah
[04:39] <q_a_z_steve> Hey, I need the nelson mandela file, can someone give me a link? I need to download it into an OOo present. I'm not currently in Ubuntu
[04:39] <xircx> i will paste bin it
[04:39] <Orfeous> i cant get my HDD-led to work when using ubuntu, it was working with windows.
[04:39] <strager> |Amon|: Because the user has to learn to use a nopaste for other chans too.
[04:40] <Dralid> How do you read files on a linux partition from windows XP? I can push the files I need from Linux, but can I pull them off linux from windows?
[04:40] <ardchoille> kingcobra_: Go to the xchat prefs, and in the Text box section look for the "Scrollback lines"
[04:40] <|Amon|> strager, do you understand what i mean though
[04:40] <strager> Dralid: It's somewhere in the ubuntu guide
[04:40] <strager> |Amon|: Yes.
[04:40] <cinone01> libapache2 module i laready installed it but still not working
[04:40] <Halitech> does anyone know how to get an ISA Opti 16 sound card to work?
[04:40] <xircx> heres the link
[04:40] <xircx> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13049/
[04:40] <strager> cinone01: Read section: Edit Apache Configuration
[04:40] <|Amon|> so any idea what i got backwards on my xorg.conf or imwheelrc
[04:41] <|Amon|> the wheel acts how the extra buttons should
[04:41] <puff> Anybody know bind?
[04:41] <strager> xircx: So which are you trying to install to?
[04:41] <|Amon|> puff, yes
[04:41] <Orfeous> any idea?
[04:41] <kingcobra_> ardchoille, thanks very much
[04:41] <xircx> i wanna add ex2 + ex3
[04:41] <ardchoille> kingcobra_: You're welcome :)
[04:41] <strager> xircx: You mean merge them?
[04:41] <xircx> yes
[04:41] <strager> xircx: you have to delete one and resize the other
[04:41] <strager> xircx: Is there any data on them?
[04:41] <puff> I'm trying to figure out some bind basics.
[04:42] <xircx> right now i have ubuntu on 3 and free space on 2
[04:42] <Dralid> Does Ubuntu use ext2 or ext3 or something else for the filesystem?
[04:42] <ardchoille> ext3
[04:42] <strager> Dralid: It can use ext2, ext3, or reiserfs most of the time
[04:42] <puff> |Amon|: i'm trying to figure out some bind basics.  I've set up an ubuntu server box with a static IP address.  what're the right keywords to google on to learn how to configure it's primary and secondary dns?
[04:42] <|Amon|> puff, i use zoneedit
[04:42] <xircx> right now i have ubuntu on ext3 and i wanna merge ex2 with it
[04:42] <genii> Dralid The usual default is ext3
[04:43] <xircx> other wize im go'in to have to format my hard drive and start all over
[04:43] <|Amon|> http://www.zoneedit.com/+
[04:43] <|Amon|> http://www.zoneedit.com/
[04:43] <strager> xircx: I would do this:  Reformat partition 7 (see first column) to ext3, copy 6 to 7, delete 6, resize 7 to fill up the space.
[04:43] <strager> xircx: Get that?
[04:43] <puff> |Amon|: Ah, resolv.conf.
[04:43] <strager> xircx: This would be easily done for you with GParted.
[04:44] <xircx> but it wont let me resize 6 backwords
[04:44] <|Amon|> http://www.zoneedit.com/doc/dns-basics.html
[04:44] <|Amon|> ack
[04:44] <strager> xircx: Simply format your ext2, copy the data from your old ext3 to your new ext3, delete the old ext3, and resize.
[04:44] <strager> xeros: ext3/libparted doesn't support moving ext2/3 FS's.
[04:44] <strager> er
[04:44] <xircx> will GParted let me do that?
[04:44] <strager> xircx: ext3/libparted doesn't support moving ext2/3 FS's.
[04:45] <strager> xircx: I think so, yes.
[04:45] <xircx> ok can i do that right from here or do i have to use the live cd?
[04:45] <strager> xircx: quit out of parted (type quit) and open up gparted.
[04:45] <strager> You can do the copy right now if you have /dev/hda7 unmounted
[04:46] <xircx> its unmouted
[04:46] <xircx> ok so how do i open GParted
[04:46] <xircx> i dont think i have that installed
[04:46] <xircx> or is it a preinstalled program
[04:47] <SirOsisOfTheLive> if i use the following command for my samba share mount -t smbfs -o username=kenw //t01/kendownloads /terra/kendownloads
[04:47] <SirOsisOfTheLive> what is the equivalent fstab entry?
[04:47] <jacob> HOla
[04:47] <strager> xircx: preinstalled
[04:47] <strager> xircx: Simply type in a terminal: gksudo gparted
[04:47] <xircx> wheres it located
[04:47] <jacob> What is a mpeg compatible equivelent to windows movie maker
[04:47] <jacob> or better
[04:48] <xircx> not found
[04:48] <strager> xircx: Got it?
[04:48] <strager> aw...
[04:48] <xircx> dint finded it
[04:48] <strager> Try system->Partition Editor or something
[04:48] <jacob> ?
[04:48] <ardchoille> xircx: sudo apt-get install gparted
[04:48] <strager> For you I think the graphical partition editor would be easier...
[04:48] <strager> Oh right, forgot you can install stuff on LiveCD.  xD
[04:48] <dustpyle_x2> hey does anyone know where I can get some good grep tuts?
[04:49] <strager> dustpyle_x2: man grep
[04:49] <strager> What's a "grep tut" xD
[04:49] <xircx> its installing
[04:49] <genii> dustpyle_x2: You could ask in #bash :)
[04:49] <strager> xircx: k
[04:49] <dustpyle_x2> oh
[04:49] <dustpyle_x2> ya that's probably a better place to ask
[04:49] <strager> xircx: Run that command again once it's installed
[04:49] <mzuverink> anyone affiliated with easylinux.info or know of them through experience?
[04:49] <xircx> ok
[04:49] <strager> dustpyle_x2: man grep...
[04:50] <chipbuddy> i'd like to keep a terminal always open... sort of like yakuake, except just a normal gnome-terminal. is there a way to set some hot keys (maybe commands through beryl) that hides and unhides a specific terminal window that is always open?
[04:50] <xircx> ok i have it open
[04:50] <strager> xircx: k, now are there any lock symbols next to your ext2?
[04:51] <xircx> only ext3
[04:51] <xircx> and some others
[04:51] <strager> k, good
[04:51] <xircx> but ext2 unlocked
[04:51] <strager> yeah
[04:51] <strager> K, click your ext2 and hit "Delete"
[04:51] <ardchoille> chipbuddy: There are some keyboard shortcuts in gnome-terminal itself: Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.."
[04:51] <xircx> k done
[04:51] <strager> xircx: There should be an "Unallocated" in its place.
[04:52] <strager> xircx: Click that, an hit New
[04:52] <xircx> yup
[04:52] <strager> Create as: Logical Partition
[04:52] <strager> Filesystem: ext3
[04:52] <strager> Hit okay.
[04:52] <xircx> k done
[04:52] <jacob> Video editor for linux!
[04:52] <strager> Now...  I dunno if GParted can copy parts
[04:52] <strager> Seems not.
[04:52] <strager> xircx: Hit apply
[04:52] <strager> MAKE SURE nothing is on that partition though
[04:53] <strager> Your old ext2
[04:53] <xircx> ok its running
[04:53] <strager> k
[04:53] <xircx> it waz emty
[04:53] <strager> Once it's done, open up parted again

[04:56] <strager> to would be your newer
[04:56] <strager> That should be, cp 6 7
[04:57] <strager> Don't switch them!!
[04:57] <xircx> so cp 6 to 7
[04:57] <strager> It should report the status of the copy.
[04:57] <strager> Without the to, yes.
[04:57] <xircx> or cp ext3 to ext3

[04:57] <biggrospif> does someone know a way,plugin,dll... to load rar archive with the archive manager
[04:57] <xircx> Error: Partition /dev/hda6 is being used.  You must unmount it before you modify
[04:57] <xircx> it with Parted.
[04:57] <strager> xircx: aw...
[04:58] <strager> xircx: I guess you have to get on livecd for the rest, ah?
[04:58] <xircx> its ok i think i can take it from here lol

[04:58] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free

[04:58] <strager> xircx: heh
[04:58] <mycroftiv> Im working on article "Top files and directories to control your system": apt/sources.list, /etc/rc2.d/*, ~/.bashrc, grub/menu.lst, X11/xorg.conf  -- other suggestions?

[04:58] <|Amon|> this is my xorg.conf
[04:58] <biggrospif> thanks
[04:58] <strager> xircx: Bascially you need to copy the data, delete the old one, and resize so it fills the whole space.

[04:59] <craig_> http://rafb.net/p/Nfz37m15.html is a list of all the commands I used to get my wireless card working.  After a reboot, it stopped.  Anyone know why?

[04:59] <NickGarvey> craig_: need to modprobe again?
[04:59] <|Amon|> actually, my bad. it's a 5 button mouse so which part of         Option          "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" should i edit so that i can get the 2 extra buttons to use as a back/forth button in firefox?
[05:00] <nexous_> How do I go about accessing FTP via terminal?

[05:00] <craig_> NickGarvey, no good
[05:00] <strager> nexous_: man ftp
[05:00] <strager> nacer: sorry
[05:01] <strager> craig_: What commands are needed to make it work again?
[05:01] <kingcobra_> !beryl
[05:01] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[05:01] <strager> craig_: Start by rebooting, typing the last command, and seeing if it works.
[05:01] <RatKiller> nexous_, type  ftp connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[05:01] <strager> craig_: Reboot, try the last two, reboot, next three, etc.
[05:01] <craig_> strager, no idea, I've run a bunchand reboored several times
[05:01] <strager> craig_: until it works

[05:01] <vox754> mycroftiv: that article, where is it going to be?
[05:01] <|Amon|> Anyone?
[05:01] <|Amon|> anyone here configured a 5 button mouse for ubuntu?

[05:02] <vox754> |Amon|: my mouse has plenty of buttons, no configuration needed, it just worked.
[05:02] <mycroftiv> vox754: on my website most likely
[05:02] <|Amon|> Flannel, i already followed the instructions there see my text above
[05:03] <noise> hello
[05:03] <|Amon|> vox754, boo for you
[05:03] <noise> just installed ubuntu it has 180 updates, but it says i have to run a partial upgrade is this normal
[05:03] <ryanakca> why can't I see my cursor when typing in Fx?
[05:03] <mzuverink> How come XChat wont beep when told to through preferences dialogue even when told to?
[05:04] <eck> mycroftiv: why /etc/rc2.d ? all of the rc directories are important
[05:04] <skiloup> How do I share my local printer on my ubuntu box with my windows machines?
[05:04] <strager> mzuverink: Did it just beep?
[05:05] <strager> ryanakca: Have you set your mouse to hide while typing?
[05:05] <mycroftiv> eck: thats true, but for the beginning to intermediate user, most of the services they are probably going to be installing or removing will be in rc2, I think
[05:05] <ryanakca> strager: yes, but I'm talking about the blinking black line that tells me where I'm typing... I fixed it... reloaded the page
[05:05] <eck> mycroftiv: no, most of them are set to start throughout multiple runlevels -- e.g. the service is set to run in runlevels 3,4,5 so if you just turn it off in one it will come up in a later runlevel
[05:06] <strager> ryanakca: You don't want that to show?  Or do?
[05:06] <seeker1> is there a command that will totally remove all of openoffice?
[05:06] <ryanakca> I do. I don't want the pointer to show (arrow). I want the blinking black line to show
[05:06] <vox754> noise: that should be normal. I would suggest upgrading small packages first, and watching out with kernel updates
[05:06] <ryanakca> anywais, it's fixed
[05:06] <strager> seeker1: sudo aptitude remove openoffice ??
[05:06] <mzuverink> strager, does not make any niose even though told to do so
[05:06] <noise> thank you vox754
[05:06] <mycroftiv> eck: yes, I know that, but most people dont change from default runlevel very much
[05:07] <strager> mzuverink: Did you disable the system bell somewhere in the system configuration?
[05:07] <seeker1> strager, no
[05:07] <Askar> ubuntu only workss when im drunk :((:(
[05:07] <strager> seeker1: sudo aptitude purge openoffice.org ?
[05:07] <seeker1> sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org*  <-- will this remove all of openoffice?
[05:07] <noise> how do i download more music to listen too i listen to ubutnu sax too much
[05:07] <seeker1> strager, stop that
[05:07] <strager> xD
[05:08] <seeker1> strager, im noy after guesswork
[05:08] <strager> I dunno... perhaps
[05:08] <mzuverink> Nope, I love audio feedback and enable it whenever possible, I have mac. mac degen
[05:08] <ctothej> seeker: what are you trying to do?

[05:14] <codebx> no wonder you talk like that... :)
[05:14] <codebx> that's a good thing
[05:14] <stepanstas> Hey guys
[05:15] <codebx> hello step
[05:15] <peacho> I need to know what the best way to set up Apache and other parts of the LAMP on the Desktop version of 6.10.
[05:15] <genii> skiloup Please only do that in emergencies :)
[05:15] <ceros> hello
[05:15] <PhilKC> Pelo!
[05:15] <noise> i am sure dikdik will realize one day he can use his powers for good and not evil
[05:15] <Pelo> !gnomebaker > Pelo
[05:15] <_Spire_> peacho: do you just want a plain LAMP server along with the ubuntu desktop?
[05:15] <Kazol> Where do I get the Firefox program files?
[05:15] <Smerity> Kazol, should be home directory .mozilla/firefox/
[05:15] <codebx> spamming irc channels cannot be used for good
[05:15] <ceros> i'm using ubuntu through a standard tv
[05:15] <Justi1> oy, the ubuntu channel is overrun
[05:15] <Smerity> Kazol, sorry, I thought you meant preferences et al,
[05:15] <noise> no codebx but maybe spam bill gates channel
[05:15] <drew> Can anyone help me with this: (Trying to install wine) http://rafb.net/p/umEeCn58.html
[05:15] <noise> he is not my friend
[05:16] <codebx> that's terrible, noise
[05:16] <codebx> perhaps bill gate was hurt, but he's really a good guy deep inside
[05:16] <stepanstas> I am typing in "su" in terminal, and then my pass. It does not go through.  I know its the right pass, because it works for when installing programs.  What could be wrong?
[05:16] <peacho> Uh yeah. So that I have the server, but am able to use the GUI to test it. Plus I just want to play around with the OS (I'm fairly new to it).
[05:16] <ctothej> what is the effect of the ! ops or ! op commands?
[05:16] <NickGarvey> ctothej: /msg ubotu ops
[05:16] <noise> we all have love inside people just try to fight it
[05:16] <Justi1> drew, you can synaptic all of those libs
[05:16] <NickGarvey> ctothej: oh, someone just did it
[05:16] <Kazol> smerity: I'm upgrading to v.2.0 and I need to backup the extensions.
[05:16] <NickGarvey> ctothej: it calls all the ops by saying their name
[05:16] <drew> Justi1: no quicker way of doing it?
[05:16] <Justi1> use aptitude
[05:16] <ryanakca> ctothej: it pings all the ops in the channel in order to get their attention in an /emergency/
[05:16] <ceros> is there a way to scroll through the desktop over the borders
[05:16] <ceros> ?
[05:16] <noise> i love wobbly boxes that is why i am here, my friend
[05:17] <Smerity> Kazol - command line locate firefox
[05:17] <Smerity> Throws up a list of directories
[05:17] <NickGarvey> cool kids do "which firefox"
[05:17] <Justi1> lol
[05:17] <peacho> So, any suggestions?
[05:17] <superlol86> drew:  sudo apt-get install wine &&sudo winecfg :)
[05:17] <Justi1> I thought we agreed it was icefox now
[05:17] <Smerity> NickGarvey, that only gives where the binary is, not the relative folder
[05:17] <NickGarvey> Smerity: ah, what are you looking for then?
[05:17] <Pelo> superlol86,   he needs to install his dependencies
[05:17] <Innatech> THIS firefox, sucka! >points down< (sorry, couldn't resist!)
[05:17] <Kazol> smerity: so /admin/.mozilla/firefox?
[05:17] <_Spire_> peacho: IMO, the easiest option would be XAMPP, which is basically prepackaged LAMP server
[05:17] <ctothej> ryanakca:  by sending them a message?
[05:18] <drew> superlol86: still says "broken packages"
[05:18] <mzuverink> Anyone get Ubuntus Samba to play nice with M$ Samba in Vista
[05:18] <mycroftiv> stepanstas: ubuntu by default sets up your initial admin account to have full priviliges via sudo, but it doesnt setup up a root account. if you sudo passwd root and make a password, then you can su into a # prompt successfully
[05:18] <peacho> Okay, I will take a look.
[05:18] <NickGarvey> Smerity: I'll admit I wasn't paying attention to the question at all and just assumed you were looking for the bin
[05:18] <_Spire_> peacho: if you're just experimenting
[05:18] <NickGarvey> Smerity: sorry about that :)
[05:18] <drew> Justi1: says I have those packages =\
[05:18] <Smerity> NickGarvey, no probs, help always appreciated =]
[05:18] <ryanakca> ctothej: no, it says their name in the channel. that in turn makes the window flash and rings a bell on their speakers
[05:18] <superlol86> drew: sudo apt-get update
[05:18] <Smerity> Kazol, hold on, I'll have a look where extensions are kept
[05:18] <codebx> noise, why do you think people try to fight the love that they have inside?
[05:18] <ctothej> ryanakca: ahh nice. thanks.
[05:18] <hajiko> While switching to breezy from hoary, I waited for the progress bar to nudge for a while until I clicked "terminal" and realized it was waiting for input on weather it was ok to stop and restart services.
[05:18] <Justi1> drew....looks like we have a real puzzle then
[05:18] <Pelo> drew,   sudo apt-get install   then list all the dependencies listed at the bottom of that error msg in dependencies not met
[05:18] <ant-> mycroftiv : you can sudo -i into root without setting up the root passwd
[05:18] <codebx> man! I feel like a woman.
[05:19] <superlol86> Pelo: fackt
[05:19] <drew> i did, i have them all installed
[05:19] <drew> lol
[05:19] <stepanstas> mycroftiv, thanks for replying.  I only have one account on this comp (mine)
[05:19] <noise> codebx i do not know, maybe the stress and demands of the modern world life
[05:19] <Justi1> oh, now that song is in my head
[05:19] <Justi1> bastid
[05:19] <ant-> stepanstas : just use sudo -i to get a root prompt
[05:19] <codebx> oh
[05:19] <drew> Pelo: they're all installed, thats whats funny =\
[05:19] <peacho> Okay, that looks pretty good. I'm in XP right now. Let me boot into Ubuntu and try to get it to work. ;)
[05:19] <noise> i like opera but it doesnt stop me from also enjoying a good ballet ha ha ha!!
[05:19] <codebx> init 0 gets a root prompt on my box
[05:19] <Pelo> drew,  are you on  64bit ?
[05:20] <Justi1> ok, fire up aptitude, see if wine is partially installed, uninstall it, then reinstall
[05:20] <drew> Pelo: no, 32
[05:20] <Pelo> drew,  try this deb file  http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/ubuntu/edgy/wine_0.9.33~winehq0~ubuntu~6.10-2_i386.deb
[05:20] <Justi1> aptitude should grab all the deps
[05:20] <ctothej> anyone know why the edgy repositories arent updated for OO.org 2.2?
[05:20] <Justi1> because the OO.o team went out for pretzels and beer?
[05:20] <stepanstas> ant-, is it the same thing as "su"
[05:21] <ctothej> well it wasnt for 2.1 either
[05:21] <Pelo> ctothej,  because it takes time to make a package and  oo 2.2 is just out
[05:21] <con-man> !glade
[05:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glade - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:21] <drew> i had wine installed, then before removing it i updated the repository to get newer version of wine, then after reloading synaptic i uninstalled the old wine and somewhere in between things got messed up
[05:21] <drew> wine is not installed, all those packages that its askign for are isntalled =\
[05:21] <skiloup> How do I add my printer as a samba share?
[05:21] <ctothej> Pelo: ok, so its planned?
[05:21] <Pelo> drew,  you don't need to  uninstall older versions when updating
[05:21] <noise> i came here earlier in search of answers and i got them and they did perform most magificiantly i must thank you people for all your work
[05:21] <Justi1> I bet there are some hidden files left....
[05:22] <drew> Pelo: well, i had to delete .wine either way, i messed around too much with it
[05:22] <Pelo> ctothej,  eventualy I am sure,  but there is no pressing reason to update to the newest latest versions all the time
[05:22] <codebx> u b whalecum, noise
[05:22] <Justi1> testing virii?
[05:22] <Pelo> drew,  you could have just deleted  /,wine
[05:22] <mzuverink> ctothej, my hotkey-setup went fine
[05:22] <noise> you are funny codebx lol
[05:22] <drew> Pelo: i did lol
[05:23] <Pelo> drew,  is that deb pakcage working ?
[05:23] <drew> Pelo: then uninstalled, i didn't know i could just delte one and not touch the other and just update
[05:23] <drew> no
[05:23] <drew> Pelo: no, uninstalling, reinstalling, and removing and installing is not working, still same message when trying to grab wine
[05:23] <codebx> :)
[05:23] <noise> what is the best screensaver i quite like skyrocket what is your best??
[05:23] <Steil> ctothej: edgy repos aren't updated for OOo 2.2 because edgys already released? it'll probably be in backports once feisty is released...
[05:24] <Justi1> you can always compile oo.o yourself
[05:24] <Justi1> ouch
[05:24] <ctothej> Steil: ok cool. thanks.
[05:24] <Pelo> drew,  try asking for help in  #winehq   they might know better
[05:24] <mycroftiv> stepanstas: "sudo -i" works like su. also, even if you are the only normal user on your machine, the root account still exists, and "sudo passwd root" will let you set a password that can be used for "su"
[05:24] <drew> hmm, ok thx Pelo
[05:24] <mzuverink> ctothej, my oo is 2.2 whats yours?
[05:24] <ctothej> Justi1: right, i am going to do so now
[05:24] <superlol86> drew: grab wine's tarball, it would be good 4 you :)
[05:24] <codebx> noise, honestly, I like 'atunnel'
[05:24] <Flannel> Steil, ctothej, doubt edgy will get OOo 2.2.  Backports only happen for really big stuff.
[05:24] <Pelo> Justi1,  probably,  get the source and use this guide  http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[05:24] <ctothej> mzuverink: 2.0.4
[05:24] <harry> Is it possible to run a web server without a static ip adress? (i.e. an ftp server that you could connect to using whatever ip adress you had at the time?)
[05:24] <Smerity> Kazol, haha sorry. Confused myself. My profile's name is funky. Basically, all you have to do is copy homedirectory/.mozilla/firefox/profilename elsewhere (as it contains the extensions et al)
[05:25] <mzuverink> in dapper?
[05:25] <ctothej> edgy
[05:25] <Smerity> harry, certainly is possible, no problem with that
[05:25] <Flannel> harry: yep.  And there are even services that'll do a dynamic IP redirect thing, check out dyndns and others
[05:25] <noise> that one is brilliant too i can't stop watching when will it end amazing technology!!!
[05:25] <mzuverink> ctothej, thats what I meant
[05:25] <Justi1> I'm an old linux dog Pelo, I can compile with the best of them....just too lazy to do so
[05:25] <ctothej> Flannel: oh, OO.org isnt considered big?
[05:25] <Justi1> :-D
[05:25] <mrkris_> heya, I have a 9gb home movie that i ripped and converted to an ISO. i want to now take this 9gb iso and fit it on a single layer dvd. anyone know of any steps to do this?
[05:25] <codebx> haha
[05:25] <Pelo> Justi1,  sorry it wasnT' intended for you
[05:25] <codebx> noise, you definitely have a cool personality
[05:26] <codebx> i like the skyrocket one a lot
[05:26] <Flannel> ctothej: no.  Flash9 was (because Flash7 had major problems).  Even FF2 won't ever be backported to Dapper.
[05:26] <Pelo> noise, we've all tried beryl we don't need a play by play
[05:26] <codebx> he's talking about the screen savers (Pelo)
[05:26] <phu789> hi
[05:26] <noise> thank you codebx i love fireworks they look really realistic
[05:26] <Pelo> hello phu789
[05:27] <codebx> yeah, they do.  i almost wanted to duck to avoid them
[05:27] <keyver> hi...I need the ubuntu software...plz

[05:27] <CharlieSu> my list of kernels on grub is getting large.. i know how to manually edit my menu.1st file but i was wondering if there was a ubuntu specific way of managing my /boot partition and grub conf to edit out kernels....
[05:27] <mzuverink> ctothej, try this repo, i used the synaptic repo editor to remove what i did not need, but they are all solid packages http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/blog/lista-repository-sourceslist-ottimizzata-per-ubuntu-kubuntu-linux/
[05:27] <noise> i found free music on wikimedia they have good ones if people need music :)
[05:27] <Flannel> CharlieSu: Just remove the old kernels with a package manager
[05:28] <CharlieSu> Flannel: w/ apt-get?
[05:28] <codebx> i prefer oink, actually :)
[05:28] <Pelo> CharlieSu,  you can  remove the kernel packages from synaptic
[05:28] <mzuverink> ctothej, if you look youll find a deb to install all the repos
[05:28] <CharlieSu> codebx: same.. oink is the bomb
[05:28] <Flannel> CharlieSu: or synaptic, or aptitude, or whatever.
[05:28] <Kazol> smerity: thanks very much!
[05:28] <CharlieSu> Flannel: gracias
[05:28] <CharlieSu> codebx: who needed an oink invite?
[05:28] <Smerity> Kazol, np, glad to help =]
[05:28] <Flannel> CharlieSu: it's usually a good idea to leave an old one around (two kernels, the upgraded one, and an old one you know works)

[05:36] <vox754> Hypnotic: I noticed you pasted a line but didn't stated what was wrong
[05:36] <spasticteapot> And I'm too cheap to pay for Cedega.
[05:36] <codebx> oh
[05:36] <codebx> the driftnet that i was talking about is a program that scans packets over a network and pulls pictures from them and shows them on the screen
[05:36] <Smerity> spasticteapot, Tremulous!
[05:37] <codebx> so you can see what other people are looking at
[05:37] <mzuverink> ctothej, the man spends some time working on it, and he knows good packages andgood sources.  I recently switched to fiest and all the important ones on the list have fiest repos too!
[05:37] <Hypnotic> I am unable to get "read/write" access on a fat partition. Here is the entry from fstab: "/dev/sdb6 /media/sdb6 vfat uid=500,gid=500 0 0"
[05:37] <linuxnooblah> Pelo: will that start the gui?
[05:37] <Smerity> spasticteapot, I've played that game straight for like three or four weeks - it has stopped me even looking back at Windows =]
[05:37] <codebx> what kind of game is it?
[05:37] <spasticteapot> Tremulous...I'll download it.
[05:37] <Pelo> linuxnooblah,   not sure but it should restore the desktop settings I think

[05:38] <Smerity> yell0w, which one in relation to what? Game? http://www.tremulous.net/ but it's in Synaptic
[05:38] <bigs2> one command
[05:38] <Pelo> spasticteapot,   actualy,  search the forum for  powernowd
[05:38] <codebx> is it called aptitude, bigs?
[05:38] <linuxnooblah> what is it bigs2
[05:38] <ctothej> spasticteapot: its stable enough? upgrade process easy?
[05:38] <mzuverink> I have had only two issues, one being the webboard application and the other a strange fstab error that causes me to have two cdroms when I only have one, but the correct one workks
[05:38] <Hypnotic> vox754: that's the line I added in fstab for the automount, but I only have read access. Should I add an "rw" at the end?
[05:38] <bigs2> here.....

[05:40] <bigs2> worked for me
[05:40] <lucifiel> oh man, this is so so frustrating... I've just installed Ubuntu and I'm so lost. -__-;;
[05:40] <bigs2> :)
[05:40] <lucifiel> oh well
[05:40] <Hypnotic> vox754: ah ha! thanks, I was thinking it needed an "rw" in there somewhere. :)

[05:41] <mzuverink> ctothej, definately, my machine(a hp dv1000 deries laptop has never worked better!)
[05:41] <spasticteapot> Ummm....anyone know how to improve my power usage?
[05:42] <Pelo> spasticteapot,  search the forum for powernowd
[05:42] <Pelo> spasticteapot,  and  fancontrol
[05:42] <Kazol> When I installed the new Firefox v.2, I could not run the new version and could only open the v.1.5, which is completely messed up. How do I start over and delete everything?
[05:42] <Pelo> spasticteapot,  and xsensors
[05:42] <spasticteapot> I have powernowd on.
[05:42] <mzuverink> Pelo, I think that only works if your cpu does scaling though

[05:42] <spasticteapot> I have a Pentium M.
[05:42] <lucifiel> to Pelo: well it may not be so hard but... i'm desperately trying to figure out how to install the latest version of FUSE. I actually want to install ntfs-3g
[05:43] <Pelo> mzuverink,   I manage to get it working with   a celeron d but it was annoying as hell
[05:43] <mzuverink> Pelo,  your hack, whatever works....;)
[05:43] <lucifiel> my fuse version is 2.4.2. for ntfs-3g to work, it needs to 2.6 and above, i think. :/
[05:43] <penguinisgay> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-9755.html
[05:43] <Pelo> Lucifel,   don't always go for the latest version ,  go for the one compatible with ubuntu ,    you can install fuse from the synaptic pakage manager
[05:44] <lucifiel> ooh so i did that right, pelo, thank you very much.
[05:45] <lucifiel> it's just that on the ntfs-3g page, it says this "Please note, FUSE 2.6.0 or later is required to guarantee full data safety. "
[05:45] <Hypnotic> Time for bed. Thanks for the help.
[05:45] <Pelo> Lucifel,  I do remeber I had a msg when I installed my ntfs supprt about upgrading to a more recent version of fuse but I don't remember which,   anyway try it see what happens if it doesn't work go to the fuse website and get the latest,   this is how you install,   http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[05:45] <Pelo> Lucifel,  save that link you will need it
[05:45] <lucifiel> right right thank you! :)
[05:45] <lucifiel> bookmarking it now.
[05:46] <linuxnooblah> Pelo: it said the most recent version of ubuntu desktop was installed
[05:46] <Pelo> linuxnooblah,  then ask in #beryl if they can save your but

[05:48] <noise> i have email charles are you still there
[05:48] <adam511> Anyone know where I can get install help
[05:48] <lucifiel> oops
[05:48] <Pelo> adam511,  do you already have space on your hdd to install it ?
[05:48] <lucifiel> i exited by mistake. :/
[05:48] <Pelo> adam511,  here
[05:48] <adam511> well, I already installed :-)
[05:48] <Pelo> ok
[05:49] <adam511> Problem is that when I boot, I get no operating system found message
[05:49] <Pelo> adam511,  what is the issue
[05:49] <adam511> I have 2 hard drives
[05:49] <adam511> one being used for backup
[05:49] <adam511> another one had WinXP on it
[05:49] <adam511> I want to add ubuntu to the HD with WinXP installed
[05:49] <adam511> I booted Ubuntu 7.04 (beta -- yes, I know, should not have started with Beta)
[05:49] <Pelo> adam511,  make sure you are booting from the correct hdd in your bios
[05:49] <Kazol> I just installed a new version of Firefox, I changed the profile to my existing one. I got all of the bookmarks, but I could not get any of the extensions. What should I do?
[05:49] <adam511> yes, the hard drive is *or was correct
[05:50] <cafuego_> defrag it, disk check it, then resize it and give Ubuntu at least 8GB (maybe a bit more if you can)
[05:50] <Pelo> adam511,   this sounds like a grub issue  , try asking in #grub
[05:50] <hansin321> join #ubuntu+1
[05:50] <adam511> ok, I am not sure if I configured grub properly
[05:50] <hansin321> sorry, forgot the /
[05:50] <gortba> Hi Can someone help. I can't unmount a hdd. It keeps saying device is busy.
[05:50] <Pelo> adam511, can you boot any os ?
[05:50] <adam511> I booted again off of the live CD and I can see all my hard disks
[05:50] <vox754> !enter > adam511
[05:50] <adam511> Ubuntu properly resized by hd
[05:51] <bph_pedia> .
[05:51] <Kazol> Does anyone have any ideas how to reinstall extensions from the existing Firefox?
[05:51] <Pelo> adam511,   use gparted and make sure your partitions are flagged to boot
[05:51] <zxdsl> is there a correlation between speed and cat5 cable length?
[05:51] <adam511> humm
[05:51] <ctothej> Kazol: there is a firefox extensions backup extension that you can use
[05:51] <cafuego_> i believe that if the cable is too long the speed becomes 8, yes
[05:51] <cafuego_> 0 even
[05:51] <Pelo> Kazol,  they should have been re-instated from your home folder
[05:51] <ctothej> Kazol: i forget the exact name though. do a search for it
[05:52] <Kazol> ctothej: I know what it is called: FEBE, but I could not install it-invalid checksum
[05:52] <adam511> which partition is supposed to boot?
[05:52] <adam511> I do not want to lose my WinXP install
[05:52] <Pelo> adam511,  your windows partition which is ntfs and your ubuntu / partiton
[05:52] <gortba> I can't unmount a hdd. It says device busy. Does anyone know how to alleviate this?
[05:53] <NickGarvey> gortba: stop ANYTHING that might be using the HD
[05:53] <Pelo> adam511,  just adding the boot flag is not gonna mess with your data
[05:53] <ctothej> Kazol: try downloading the .xpi file and then opening it with firefox from your harddrive
[05:53] <adam511> ok
[05:53] <NickGarvey> gortba: if you have a terminal open and are currently in a directory on that HD, get out of it (just type cd by itself)
[05:53] <adam511> which partition should be flagged as boot partition?
[05:53] <kingcobra_> CharlieSu, any chance could i get an invite to oink if you think it is good
[05:53] <Chadarius> gortba: make sure you don't have any windows or consoles open and using the hd
[05:53] <Pelo> adam511,  your windows partition which is ntfs and your ubuntu / partiton
[05:53] <gortba> AHH. Thanks NickGarvey.
[05:53] <NickGarvey> :)
[05:54] <adam511> oh, flag both as boot partitions?
[05:54] <gortba> Thanks Chadarius. I didn't even think of that
[05:54] <Pelo> adam511,  yes
[05:54] <adam511> ok
[05:54] <adam511> and then grub or some boot loader will intervene?
[05:54] <Chadarius> gortba: I do it all the time to myself :)
[05:54] <Pelo> adam511,  it should
[05:54] <adam511> ok, i'll try that
[05:54] <adam511> brb

[06:02] <IndyGunFreak> cables: Mint is more or less Ubuntu, with all Multimedia codecs pre-installed
[06:02] <Pelo> doesn'T mint have it's own channel ?
[06:02] <denhart> yes mint has synaptic cables
[06:02] <Chadarius> Hey is the gwos.org documentation site down? Its doing nothing when I go to it
[06:02] <cables> IndyGunFreak, yep... but kicking mint users out keeps the channel less covered :) sorry denhart
[06:03] <cables> denhart, how are you trying to download software? What file format?
[06:03] <jinkobilbo> hey all is there anything i can use to join avi files?
[06:03] <denhart> what does that mean cables???
[06:03] <SirOsisOfTheLive> what IRC server are we on?
[06:03] <IndyGunFreak> denhart: so giev an example of what you're trying to install.
[06:03] <Pelo> SirOsisOfTheLive,   freenode
[06:03] <mikexstudios> just-testing: thanks, that worked perfectly.
[06:03] <SirOsisOfTheLive> thanks
[06:03] <jinkobilbo> something like nandub or virtualdub
[06:03] <just-testing> mike...: you are welcome
[06:03] <denhart> there are files with wsz, rpm, and tar.gz extensions
[06:04] <seravitae> hey i just installed mythtv, it's asking me to run a program as the mythtv user, how can i change to that user?
[06:04] <syock> When I put the computer on standby/sleep, it will execute /etc/acpi/sleep.sh right?
[06:04] <Pelo> denhart,  http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[06:04] <cables> denhart, none of those are Ubuntu/Mint supported filetypes
[06:04] <IndyGunFreak> denhart: first, rpms are not compatible with Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
[06:04] <cables> denhart, well, sort of
[06:04] <IndyGunFreak> denhart: tgz's, most likely will have to be extractd and compiled.
[06:04] <Pelo> seravitae,  mythtv faq page ?
[06:04] <cables> denhart, you should always check in System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager
[06:04] <cables> denhart, that's the best way of installing software in Ubuntu or Mint
[06:04] <IndyGunFreak> denhart: now again what PROGRAMS ARE YOU TRYING TO INSTALL
[06:04] <seravitae> ill check it
[06:04] <Chadarius> seravitae: you can use su to change users
[06:05] <seravitae> i tried su - mythtv
[06:05] <pchilds> I wanna find an app that is the equivelent of maple or mathimatica for use in ubuntu. I like mathomatic but feel somehow there is better. I am taking algebra and need all the help I can get. Especially with those damn word problems.
[06:05] <seravitae> but i never got told the password
[06:05] <denhart> i have no idea how to do any of that....that is why i was thinking about uninstalling mint but cannot figure out how to do that either...and i was wondering if there is a better linux version for newbies
[06:05] <seravitae> and 'mythtv' doesnt work
