[09:31] <Spellsword> I tried to copy a file into a folder
[09:31] <jtraub> Hivoltage, try Debian :-)
[09:31] <Spellsword> but It says I didn't have the permission
[09:31] <Spellsword> How do I fix that?
[09:32] <Spellsword> The folder was at "/usr/share/icons"
[09:32] <jtraub> Spellsword, copy file to folder with root
[09:32] <Hivoltage> jtraub I have
[09:32] <Hivoltage> I do not like it quite as much.
[09:32] <Spellsword> root?
[09:32] <jtraub> Spellsword, yes
[09:32] <Hivoltage> Sepllsword you have to have root access.
[09:32] <nospi> Spellsword, new to computer? or have just moved from windows?

[09:33] <jtraub> Spellsword, sudo cp <your location> /usr/share/icons
[09:33] <Hivoltage> man xwindows takes time to install from net... even on cable. o.O
[09:34] <jtraub> Spellsword, it will ask for your password..
[09:34] <Spellsword> it's a folder
[09:34] <Spellsword> So do I go /folder/folder/folder-to-be-copied?

[09:46] <kazaly> bony, gimp doesn't natively do CMYK .. there is a plugin, but I doubt that will allow you to convert
[09:46] <kazaly> bony, google the gimp CMYK plugin

[09:47] <kazaly> bony, no worries
[09:47] <ifree> erm, anyone can help me getting my wireless interface back
[09:47] <billy> is "shred" recommended over "rm"?
[09:48] <joejoe> when I boot the cd it runs and after few steps it ends by showing me the background and yellow box on the upper left corner do you know what can I do to solve this problem?
[09:48] <kazaly> billy, no
[09:48] <kazaly> billy, read the shred manpage for one
[09:48] <jtraub> billy, i don't think so..
[09:48] <billy> kazaly: ok, will do.
[09:48] <billy> rm is sufficient then?
[09:49] <kazaly> billy, yeah
[09:49] <billy> OK.  cool.
[09:49] <kazaly> billy, if you have anything you need permantly deleted, send it to me and i'll take care of it ;)
[09:49] <jtraub> billy, shred overwrites file contents and removes it. So deleted file is harder to restore
[09:50] <billy> kazaly: :)
[09:50] <kazaly> not only that, it doesn't work properly on many filesystems; JFS, ReiserFS, XFS, Ext3
[09:50] <billy> jtraub: there'll never be a need to restore.
[09:50] <Symmetria> how many people here plan to run the new ubuntu beta on release
[09:50] <billy> Symmetria: not me.
[09:50] <kazaly> not good for RAID either
[09:50] <jtraub> billy, use shred only to delete critical data

[10:00] <arieanie> thanx
[10:00] <DeL3e7> cause it depends on windows binaries :P
[10:00] <Chapayev> so what d/l 6.10 with bluetooth?!
[10:00] <DeL3e7> need more linux native drivers!
[10:00] <Chapayev> i called netgear - they flat out said their products dont work with unix.
[10:00] <DeL3e7> sucks dont it
[10:01] <genii> csd Yes, it takes a pdf file and allows you to (somewhat) mess with it. But it's extremely limited. If all you want is to create pdf files, export from OpenOffice to pdf
[10:01] <Chapayev> it'll be fine - i just neeed to get it\!
[10:01] <DeL3e7> they wont ever try with the excuse of just use ndiswrapper
[10:01] <DeL3e7> :P
[10:01] <DeL3e7> boo ndiswrapper

[10:11] <Spellsword> Hi guys
[10:11] <csd> am unable to see icons for any of my other partitions in gnome ...
[10:11] <csd> what has changed in feisty to trigger this ?
[10:11] <thetron> Anyone know if it's common for a partition with ubuntu to suddernly drop or become corrupted
[10:11] <Spellsword> My DNS setting keep changing to <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:12] <Spellsword> How do I stop that?
[10:12] <stingman> spellsword - check the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf
[10:12] <genii> Specify different DNS numbers in the dhcp server part of your router
[10:13] <monsoon_king> is there any IM software for ubuntu which has voice chat and webcam features(for yahoo and gtalk)
[10:13] <genii> If you are using auto-configure for that adapter any changes you make to resolv.conf will be wiped out every reboot
[10:13] <Spellsword> stingman: yeah, it's got my current DNS
[10:14] <Spellsword> oh
[10:14] <Spellsword> So how do I make my DNS permanet
[10:14] <Spellsword> and who O turn on the computer and it's not connected to the internet
[10:14] <genii> Spellsword: See my first sudggestion
[10:14] <Spellsword> then I connect it when it's turned on
[10:14] <Spellsword> it can't go on
[10:14] <Spellsword> hmm
[10:14] <Spellsword> yep
[10:14] <Spellsword> I checked the contents
[10:14] <Spellsword> it just says "nameserver <my DNS>"
[10:15] <stingman> spellsword: watch the comment of genii if you are using a dhcp
[10:15] <Spellsword> yep
[10:15] <Spellsword> hmm
[10:15] <Spellsword> So I change the auto configure
[10:15] <genii> Spellsword: In your router, you can specify a DNS number to pass to dhcp clients.
[10:15] <rod_> ah  chmod 777 /media/disk/ -R did the trick
[10:15] <Spellsword> oh
[10:15] <Spellsword> I'll check it
[10:16] <rod_> ttfn
[10:16] <genii> Spellsword: If your router does not have this feature, you will need to do another more convoluted thing like assign a static IP or so on.
[10:16] <Spellsword> cool thanks guys
[10:16] <Spellsword> I think I fixed it
[10:16] <Spellsword> Thanks!
[10:17] <genii> Spellsword: :)

[10:21] <agus> anyone can help me
[10:21] <ddodo> i go into g parted now, but its reading the wrong partition size
[10:21] <thetron> What would cause a partition to dismount or drop out?
[10:21] <thetron> anyone know
[10:21] <agus> i use ubuntu 6.06
[10:22] <genii> ddodo You may want to do Start..Run...type in cmd   then chkdsk c:\           it may adjust it's reasoning
[10:22] <ddodo> yeah.. it ran chkdsk when windows restarted
[10:22] <ddodo> i was hoping that too
[10:22] <soundray> !fixres > agus, please read the private message from ubotu
[10:22] <agus> okay
[10:23] <ddodo> is there any chkdsk type thing in ubunutu that will re-check the size of the main ntfs on c?
[10:23] <soundray> thetron: does this happen to you?
[10:23] <mkquist> ddodo - yea there is i just forget what its called at the mo
[10:24] <genii> I'm not sure if there is a fsck.ntfs
[10:24] <Archon> i've got a daemon in /etc/init.d/ that wont start properly, and it doesn't give me an error message
[10:24] <Archon> is there a log file for those programs?
[10:24] <genii> Archon All logs are in /var/log
[10:25] <soundray> Archon: /var/log/syslog or /var/log/daemon.log
[10:25] <thetron> soundray: yeah. I get drive bunch of error saying it can't read partition/drive
[10:25] <Spellsword> lol
[10:25] <Spellsword> Hi guys!
[10:25] <Spellsword> I'm back
[10:26] <Spellsword> Umm, I accidentally removed the gaim icon from a panel
[10:26] <Spellsword> How do I get it back?
[10:26] <thetron> I lost my ubuntu install at tafe :(
[10:26] <Archon> soundray: no errors in either of them :(
[10:26] <Archon> i'm trying to start vsftpd
[10:26] <Archon> very secure FTP daemon
[10:26] <mkquist> ddodo - sry missed the ntfs part, nope
[10:26] <Spellsword> !repeat
[10:26] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[10:26] <soundray> thetron: it could be a hardware problem, like a bad cable, wrong jumpers etc.
[10:26] <ddodo> apart from fixing up this c drive ntfs, what are other options to get ubuntu installed? i have a 250G partition on a slave d drive. can i go into gparted, resize that down and put ubuntu on there? then maybe just change the boot order when i want to use ubuntu?
[10:26] <soundray> thetron: or a broken disk drive of course.
[10:27] <genii> Archon It may be that it's conf file tells it to start from inetd/xinetd so you don't see it as some process
[10:27] <Spellsword> !patience
[10:27] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[10:27] <mkquist> ddodo - dont wanna use grub?
[10:27] <soundray> ddodo: yes you can, and you don't need to change the boot order
[10:27] <Archon> genii: well, i can't access ftp://localhost
[10:27] <Archon> :(
[10:27] <ddodo> only then is it bad running an OS off a slave drive/ i dont know.
[10:27] <Spellsword> try http://localhost
[10:27] <thetron> soundray: funny thing was nobody had touched the system or opened her up
[10:27] <Spellsword> if that works then your server is ok...
[10:27] <genii> Archon Try the exact IP instead
[10:27] <Archon> Spellsword: that's apache (which works)
[10:27] <mkquist> ddodo - u can use grub to boot to whatever o/s u want
[10:28] <ddodo> will grub run everytime if i put ubuntu onto this second drive?
[10:28] <Spellsword> oh
[10:28] <Spellsword> hmm
[10:28] <Spellsword> Dunno them
[10:28] <Gary> Hey everyone
[10:28] <ddodo> or does grub run when the iso is in the dvd drive?
[10:28] <Archon> genii: tried :(
[10:28] <mkquist> ddodo - if u install grub, yes
[10:28] <Archon> genii: i also tried removing and reinstalling vsftpd to get the default config file but that didn't happen
[10:28] <soundray> Archon: does vsftpd show up in the process list?
[10:28] <Archon> soundray: nope
[10:28] <mkquist> ddodo - itll give u a list, windows should be on it
[10:28] <ddodo> as in, install grub on to C or onto D? sorry i am noob with linux
[10:29] <Gary> I just installed ubuntu on my computer, and I am having issues getting my screen resolution to 1024x768. could anyone help me with that?
[10:29] <soundray> Archon: when you want to revert to the original config, you have to use --purge on the uninstall step
[10:29] <agus> hi gary
[10:29] <Gary> Hi agus
[10:29] <agus> i have problem same with you
[10:29] <ddodo> yeah, i get that grub is that screen and it says  'run or install ubuntu' , safe mode, mem test, boot from hd
[10:29] <soundray> !fixres > Gary, please read the private message from ubotu
[10:29] <Archon> wahoo
[10:29] <elektronisch> what type of package management system does ubuntu use?  can you manage it through a console program?
[10:29] <Archon> soundray: now it works
[10:30] <soundray> agus: no help from the page ubotu pointed you to?
[10:30] <Archon> thank you soundray
[10:30] <genii> Archon Check it's conf file. should be somewhare like /etc/vsftp.conf  or similar. Some conf files need to be activated by removing or comments or specifying valid values. Also in /etc/default   there may be a file with the name of the daemon. If so open it and make sure a line like vsftp enable =yes   is there

[10:30] <Archon> genii: well, when i was 'configuring', it started to not work
[10:30] <mkquist> ddodo - or there is a way to use windows boot loader to boot to ubuntu
[10:30] <Archon> and then i couldn't quite get the settings back to what it was before
[10:31] <soundray> elektronisch: yes, there are command-line programs and text-based GUIs
[10:31] <genii> Archon Glad it's working now
[10:31] <Archon> genii: me too
[10:31] <soundray> agus: no pasting please
[10:31] <agus> im sorry
[10:31] <elektronisch> soundray, thanks :]
[10:32] <Archon> what i woundn't mind getting working is this FTP server to require a login to upload and download
[10:32] <agus> before i install ubuntu its work with simply mepis 6.
[10:32] <Archon> and each login is chrooted (isolated)
[10:33] <soundray> Archon: have you looked for docs in /usr/share/doc/vsftp/ ?
[10:33] <Spellsword> Hi guys
[10:33] <Archon> soundray: well, i kind of assumed that no docs were downloaded since 'man' doesn't exist
[10:33] <Spellsword> Is there a widget platform on ubuntu?
[10:34] <Archon> Spellsword: GTK?
[10:34] <Spellsword> cool
[10:34] <Spellsword> thanks!
[10:34] <soundray> Archon: plenty of docs there, and, sry, it's /usr/share/doc/vsftpd/
[10:35] <Spellsword> wait
[10:35] <Spellsword> are you sure?
[10:35] <Enselic``> Is there an easy way to write swedish characters on an english keyboard layout?
[10:35] <Archon> soundray: i didn't realise the typo because i always TAB after 3 or so characters
[10:35] <Spellsword> GTK doens't seem to be a widget platform
[10:35] <soundray> agus: have you tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'?
[10:36] <detox> Thank you whoever it was that sent me to the help.ubuntu.com on the refresh rates. My install is now (so far) working wonderfully!
[10:37] <mkquist> *
[10:38] <soundray> Enselic``: I think the easiest way is to switch layouts with the Keyboard Indicator applet
[10:39] <Enselic``> soundray: the problem is that I prefer the english layout, so it will be annoying to switch layouts just to write a single char :(
[10:39] <soundray> Enselic``: in that case, I would suggest the Character Palette applet
[10:40] <glyn> is there a better file sharer for Linux than NIcotine?
[10:40] <glyn> Everything seems to go slow and there's not much of a selection
[10:41] <Enselic``> soundray: cool, Ill check it out
[10:41] <need411> ubuntu is now on the edgy wiki

[10:46] <pfchen> hi
[10:46] <Slart> need411: I'm more of a graphically challenged.. but I manage to do simple figures that makes my collegues go "wow, how did you do that? in Word?" =)
[10:47] <Spellsword_> Hi
[10:47] <pfchen> welcome
[10:47] <gabz> Can anyone tell me how to get gnome to output a display to both my vga port and lcd screen at the same time ?
[10:47] <need411> i try real hard..
[10:47] <Spellsword_> What happens when your machine isn't supported by a program
[10:47] <Spellsword_> apparently gdesklet won't work on i86* machines
[10:47] <need411> sticking to my guns on the practice making perfect.. lol
[10:47] <Slart> Spellsword_: it doesn't work?
[10:47] <Spellsword_> I try to download it
[10:47] <Spellsword_> but "gDesklets cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type."
[10:48] <pfchen> have a little difficulty
[10:48] <glyn> I Forget how to use bittorent
[10:48] <thetron> Could bad power be enough to cause a partition to become corrupted?
[10:48] <glyn> can anyone help me please?
[10:48] <need411> sure
[10:48] <Slart> Spellsword_: mm.. you're running it on some weirdo ancient hardware?
[10:48] <need411> may be new to linux but not torrent
[10:49] <pfchen> I can't ,heh
[10:49] <Spellsword_> lol
[10:49] <Spellsword_> Nahh
[10:49] <Spellsword_> A toshiba Tecra M2
[10:49] <Spellsword_> Not that old
[10:49] <need411> <trying to quit though>
[10:49] <Slart> Spellsword_: weird enough =).. what kind of processor is in it?
[10:49] <skule> My kernel is 2.6.17-11, but when I do apt-get install vmware-player, apt insists on installing vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.6.17-10, even thoug I manually installed vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.6.17-11 with apt-get. How do I change that behaviour ?
[10:49] <pfchen> oh
[10:49] <Spellsword_> Centrino 1.6
[10:50] <glyn> I have bittorent but I'm not sure how to use it or run it
[10:50] <gabz> Spellsword_ did you download the program or apt-get it ?
[10:50] <need411> are you behind a router?
[10:50] <Spellsword_> yeah
[10:50] <Spellsword_> I download the program
[10:50] <Slart> glyn: first you get a torrent file.. a quite small file that has info on where to get the actual file, among other things
[10:50] <mtar> any java developers here
[10:50] <pfchen> maybe it doesn't surpport that
[10:50] <Spellsword_> When the Synaptic Sofware Pakager won't work
[10:51] <Spellsword_> Not how do I install it?
[10:51] <BeepAU> hey, i've got a sigmatel 9200 sound card which I can't get working under linux. could anyone help me? please don't ! sound me.
[10:51] <peter-PAN>  #bsdforen.de OWNS YA         #bsdforen.de OWNS YA         #bsdforen.de OWNS YA         #bsdforen.de OWNS YA         #bsdforen.de OWNS YA         #bsdforen.de OWNS YA         #bsdforen.de OWNS YA         #bsdforen.de OWNS YA         #bsdforen.de OWNS YA         #bsdforen.de OWNS YA         #bsdforen.de OWNS YA         #bsdforen.de OWNS YA
[10:51] <need411> so I'm assuming you need to set a static ip address and assign DNS, and then port forward
[10:51] <ZoOlMaN> Guys when i try to do (apt-get update) I get this error (E: Malformed line 34 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse))

[10:52] <Shaffox> i have some problems with apache2
[10:52] <Spellsword_> gDesklets cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)
[10:52] <Spellsword_> Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type.
[10:52] <Spellsword_> That's what it says when I tried the packager
[10:52] <pfchen> spellsword is right
[10:53] <genii> Shaffox A more descriptive explanation of the problem may yield some help
[10:53] <need411> I haven't tried it yet.. so I wasn't sure.. just saw it on the wiki
[10:53] <pfchen> trying to reinstall is a good way
[10:53] <need411> 5 minutes ago.. didn't remember seeing it there
[10:54] <AJIEXA_> what a program i must to use for the manage partitions ??? (like Acronis Partition Expert and PQ magic)
[10:55] <pfchen> just look the wiki ,maybe you can get some help
[10:55] <Slart> AJIEXA_: try gnome partition editor.. or gparted as it's also called
[10:55] <Slart> !gparted
[10:55] <ubotu> gparted is gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "sudo apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[10:55] <AJIEXA_> is it best for this ???
[10:55] <pfchen> maybe
[10:55] <Slart> AJIEXA_: well.. it does the job
[10:55] <Slart> !best
[10:55] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[10:56] <genii> ubotu lies
[10:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lies - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[10:56] <AJIEXA_> ok thx
[10:57] <Spellsword_> I'm x86 like standard
[10:57] <Spellsword_> I don't under stand why it doens't work
[10:58] <genii> Shaffox: What is the first problem apache2 is giving you?
[10:58] <Shaffox> the outside can't acces my ip
[10:58] <Enselic``> soundray: hey that applet was awesome
[10:58] <Enselic``> !
[10:59] <AJIEXA_> oh .. there is one more quastion .. - may be sombody use LiveCD Distrib for this operations ? - I can't manage my Home partitont before unmount it ...
[10:59] <genii> Shaffox: Do you get a fixed IP from your ISP?
[10:59] <Shaffox> no
[10:59] <soundray> Enselic``: your problem reminded me of another issue. In dapper, you used to be able to enter any character by holding Ctrl and Shift and typing the Unicode hex code.
[10:59] <mkquist> woot - finally got a working install again!
[11:00] <Slart> AJIEXA_: mm.. you can't mess with partitions while you're using it.... you'll have to unmount it first (if you compare to windows, the program unmount the drive autoamtically but you still can't use it while you're moving it etc)
[11:00] <ub12> What is the floppy device in /dev/?

[11:07] <gavin> Hi, I just bought a new big external HDD, and it's formatted NTFS. I have the howto that allows me to read/write NTFS, but I'm wondering if I should just save the trouble and reformat it FAT32. I will probably be using it with Linux, XP, and Vista eventually, so I just want it to be compatible, fast, and stable.
[11:07] <soundray> Enselic``:  (with ')
[11:08] <soundray> Enselic``: " is on Shift-2, so it doesn't seem to be combinable with AltGr
[11:08] <genii> gavin For sharing between XP/Vista and linux best is an ext3 partition with a windows ext3 driver
[11:08] <pfchen> HDD?
[11:08] <Enselic``> soundray: oh, hmm, then maybe the layout is not for me after all
[11:08] <Enselic``> soundray: where is {?
[11:08] <Enselic``> soundray: Shift [?
[11:08] <soundray> Enselic``: Shift-[
[11:08] <Enselic``> good
[11:08] <genii> gavin http://fs-driver.org/
[11:09] <Enselic``> soundray: ` and ~ to upper left?
[11:09] <soundray> Enselic``: no, ` and
[11:09] <Enselic``> soundray: argh :(
[11:09] <gavin> genii: I'm not going to be installing any OS on it though, so I don't need ext3 right?
[11:09] <Shaffox> how do you close ports
[11:10] <pfchen> super new
[11:10] <ekul`> how can i get special characters? like the n with a ~ ontop?
[11:10] <kazaly> Shaffox, you close the programs that are opening those (listening) ports
[11:10] <genii> gavin the point of ext3 partition is to share data across from XP/Vista to linux. There doesn't have to be any OS on it
[11:10] <kazaly> Shaffox, in other words, you stop services that are running
[11:10] <soundray> ekul`: use the Character Palette applet
[11:11] <eilker> lets say i have a lan consist of 6-7 machine, and no internet domain owner, is there any use of dns & bind in this situation ?
[11:11] <waxyfresh> how do i back up my computer onto a usb drive?
[11:11] <ekul`> Ahh thanks Sondray :D
[11:11] <genii> gavin If you use a fat partition you will be limited to 4Gb files and other limits. Using ext3 eliminates these issues
[11:11] <soundray> waxyfresh: use sbackup
[11:11] <soundray> !sbackup > waxyfresh
[11:11] <gavin> genii: Ah... even Fat32??
[11:12] <genii> gavin Yes
[11:12] <Pie-rate> i need wine 0.9.30. where can i find the deb file?
[11:12] <need411> I've read that for a while.. but if that were true how does one encode a dvd on fat?
[11:12] <kazaly> gavin, for what it's worth, ntfs-3g is working for me to read/write to NTFS partitions
[11:12] <mavericken> hi ppl
[11:12] <Nicke> ntfs-3g is even considered as stable now
[11:12] <kazaly> gavin, installed by "apt-get install ntfs-config" then started "gksudo ntfs-config"
[11:12] <pfchen> who can give a talk about the shell programms of linux
[11:13] <mavericken> im new here
[11:13] <unimatrix9> hello all
[11:13] <genii> Please note ntfs-3g is experimental and needed to reverse-engineer ntfs. Not yet proven to work with Vista ntfs version yet
[11:13] <waxyfresh> apt-get install sbackup?
[11:13] <kazaly> I've had no problems reading/writing isos of dvds and playing them back from NTFS partitons with ubuntu
[11:13] <pfchen> welcome
[11:13] <mavericken> would like to know how to install the server version of ubuntu
[11:13] <soundray> Pie-rate: wait for feisty (or help test it). It's got 0.9.32 at the moment.
[11:13] <gavin> kazaly: Yeah, that's what I was about to try... but I'm just trying to decide now before I put any files on it which will give me most compatibility in the long run with the least effort :  /.
[11:13] <mavericken> having some problem installing
[11:13] <unimatrix9> thsi may sound stupid, but normally installing more ram memory should case no problems right?
[11:14] <nospi> can anybody help me with this error? I get it when i go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin - the error is: Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration.
[11:14] <Slart> Pie-rate: or you can download the deb from wines site
[11:14] <unimatrix9> this*
[11:14] <Pie-rate> soundray: no. i can already get 0.9.33 from the winehq repo. i need 9.30
[11:14] <hmu> folks... I'm facing some issues upgrading to feisty. I keep getting this message "INFO: using old version '/usr/bin/python2.3'"
[11:14] <Pie-rate> slart: i need an old version
[11:14] <need411> I've had no trouble doing it on FAT32, that is why that baffles me
[11:14] <waxyfresh> mavericken: should be an optuion on the cd to just install the base system also i think you can download justa server eddition
[11:14] <kazaly> gavin, yeah, well don't use FAT if you want to use large files (4g+) as mentioned earlier
[11:14] <Slart> Pie-rate: aren't the old versions available there too?
[11:14] <soundray> unimatrix9: unless you installed faulty RAM
[11:14] <Pie-rate> slart: WoW doesn't work properly past 0.9.30
[11:14] <unimatrix9> normally not right?
[11:15] <hmu> how can I tell apt-get/dpkg to use the new version of python?
[11:15] <frenzy-br> does anyone know how to make a short cut to wine?? does it even have a graphical interface to run programs???
[11:15] <soundray> Pie-rate: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wine/
[11:15] <hmu> coz I'm getting loads of xml parsing problems... I'm suspecting it has to do with the old python being used
[11:15] <gavin> kazaly: OK thanks. I'll go ahead and install ntfs-3g, and if I get annoyed with it I'll go ahead and make it ext3 like genii says :  ). thanks guys
[11:15] <need411> I was wrong..  I split the hard drive on that pc.. it is both.. sorry
[11:16] <massctrl> hi I have no video anymore in gxine, ... It used to work, but for some unknown reason, I can't play any vids anymore, I can only hear the sound,... vlc works but want to have gxine, ... anyone can help me troubleshooting ?
[11:16] <unimatrix9> i think it simply create new launcher and type wine /path to program/
[11:16] <nospi> anybody know?
[11:16] <unimatrix9> so for sol.exe its wine /home/sol.exe
[11:17] <soundray> unimatrix9: other things can go wrong: asymmetry, modules unsupported by your BIOS, etc.
[11:17] <frenzy-br> unimatrix9: thx
[11:17] <soundray> unimatrix9: it's also possible in some boards to install more than your BIOS can handle.
[11:18] <unimatrix9> soundray, yes i know, but i wanted to be sure its not a linux fault
[11:18] <mneptok> gavin: i strongly recommend ext3+fs-driver over ntfs+ntfs3g
[11:18] <unimatrix9> i think its a motherboard issue ....
[11:18] <frenzy-br> unimatrix9: i got utorrent running on it fine cuz its a stand-alone but how do i install programs on wine
[11:18] <unimatrix9> thanx for the feedback
[11:18] <rpc> how do i find out the right txqueuelen for an interface?
[11:18] <gavin> mneptok: Why??
[11:19] <soundray> Pie-rate: have you got it?
[11:19] <unimatrix9> frenzy-br what would you like to install?
[11:19] <need411> what dvd write programs you all prefer? I can grab any.. just always like to hear your opinions first, it often save me a headache.  Was about to get Gnomebaker..
[11:19] <mneptok> gavin: making an open source driver for an open source FS is far more a reliable thing than reverse engineering the unseen
[11:19] <Slart> Pie-rate: here are some packages for debian.. get your flavour and try it http://packages.debian.org/unstable/otherosfs/wine
[11:19] <soundray> need411: I prefer k3b over gnomebaker
[11:19] <frenzy-br> unimatrix9: well actually i dont have anything in mind right now.. i was just wanting to know for future references;...
[11:20] <Pie-rate> Slart: thanks, got it
[11:20] <unimatrix9> frenzy-br  : this an nice site with lots of inof about wine http://frankscorner.org/
[11:20] <frenzy-br> unimatrix9: thx alot mate
[11:20] <mneptok> frenzy-br: why not a Linux torrent client? why WINE just for torrents?
[11:20] <need411> thanks soundray..
[11:20] <mavericken> any1 can help me with the instalation for server edition pls
[11:20] <arcturu> JOIN #python
[11:20] <soundray> mavericken: you need to say what the problem is.
[11:20] <gavin> mneptok: Hmmm... true... gwar. Is there any hope that M$ will support ext3 natively in future?
[11:21] <mneptok> gavin: not bloody likely
[11:21] <gavin> :  (
[11:21] <frenzy-br> mneptok: i jusat have to have utorrent... nothing runs like it..
[11:21] <mneptok> gavin: http://fs-driver.org
[11:21] <need411> did anyone ever get utorrent off the edgy wiki running?
[11:21] <unimatrix9> frenzy-br  : you can also take an look at winecfg on terminal there you can configure some options
[11:21] <gavin> Yeah, got the link thanks.
[11:21] <unimatrix9> http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wineusr-guide/config-wine-main#USING-WINECFG
[11:21] <frenzy-br> unimatrix9: thx alot
[11:21] <unimatrix9> read there..
[11:21] <unimatrix9> :)
[11:21] <mneptok> frenzy-br: have you actually *tried* anything else?
[11:22] <frenzy-br> mneptok: yeah azureus, torenado, x and alot of others...
[11:22] <mneptok> frenzy-br: just because uTorrent is a good client for Windows doesn't mean it's the best choice on another platform.
[11:22] <nospi> can someone please help me install MySQL to work with PHP5 and phpMyAdmin?
[11:22] <need411> and I agree..
[11:22] <need411> just like the forced encryption feature is all
[11:23] <need411> but more than utorrent have that
[11:23] <frenzy-br> unimatrix9: do u know any video players that play mkv, ogg, and wmv?
[11:23] <mneptok> forced encryption?
[11:23] <gavin> need411: I stick it out with Nicotine, though I wish I didn't have to.
[11:23] <soundray> nospi: have you found the wiki page?
[11:23] <soundray> !lamp > nospi
[11:23] <mneptok> how do you do forced encryption when the other party isn't?
[11:23] <frenzy-br> mneptok: im still looking for some good ones for linux.. but untill i find something i like ill stick to utorrent
[11:23] <unimatrix9> frenzy-br : you need the codecs ....
[11:24] <unimatrix9> and maybe mplayer...
[11:24] <mneptok> frenzy-br: sudo apt-get install bittornado-gui
[11:24] <need411> wondered that myself actually
[11:24] <frenzy-br> unimatrix9: i still havent figured out how to install codecs...
[11:24] <mavericken> any1 can help me with some instalation
[11:24] <mavericken> help would be much appreciated
[11:24] <frenzy-br> mneptok: thx ill give it a try
[11:24] <nospi> soundray, i'll try that, thanks. i think genii actually found the fix i needed. i have them all installed, but phpMyAdmin can't locate the MySql extrensions for PHP or something
[11:24] <mneptok> frenzy-br: Totem plays Vorbis and Theora natively
[11:24] <pfchen> bittornado-gui?
[11:24] <pfchen> what?
[11:24] <mneptok> pfchen: aye
[11:24] <bcochofel> Hi, I'm trying to install wine and IE (web development)
[11:25] <Pie-rate> i'm trying to transfer a very large file between 2 computers with 1gige cards/crossover cable. what's the fastest way to do this? i don't want encryption because its unnecessary and will slow it down
[11:25] <mneptok> frenzy-br: BitTornado also runs on Windows.
[11:25] <bcochofel> I know about winetools but whenever I start IE appears a window with nothing on, nor images nor text?
[11:25] <soundray> Pie-rate: I'd make a suggestion but you've ignored me so far.
[11:25] <gordonjcp> bcochofel: ies4linux is the way forward
[11:25] <bcochofel> How can I install IE under wine on ubuntu?
[11:25] <frenzy-br> mneptok: i didnt like it... on win at least...
[11:26] <need411> why IE?
[11:26] <soundray> mavericken: you need to say what the PROBLEM is
[11:26] <mneptok> frenzy-br: the BitTornado folks invented super-seeding. they know their protocol. ;)
[11:26] <bcochofel> gordonjcp: is it a package?
[11:26] <gordonjcp> bcochofel: no, but it's pretty easy to install
[11:26] <mavericken> after the whole instalation from the server edition
[11:26] <pfchen> welcome
[11:26] <gordonjcp> bcochofel: just google it, read the instructions, and you're good to go
[11:27] <mavericken> i cant seem to go to the GUI
[11:27] <unimatrix9> frenzy-br , what ubuntu do you run?
[11:27] <bcochofel> gordonjcp: ok, I will
[11:27] <unimatrix9> wich version?
[11:27] <soundray> mavericken: the point of the server version is that it has no GUI
[11:27] <mavericken>  6.06 lts
[11:27] <gordonjcp> bcochofel: I use it, and it works pretty well.  It's not *perfect* because Linux does fonts better than Windows ;-)
[11:27] <mavericken> oh
[11:27] <gordonjcp> bcochofel: but for generally checking for IE breakage, it's fine
[11:27] <mavericken> so how does it work then?
[11:27] <soundray> mavericken: to get the GUI from where you are, run 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'
[11:28] <mavericken> an i use the pc one instead
[11:28] <mneptok> mavericken: servers do not have GUIs.
[11:28] <soundray> mavericken: normally if you want a server, you administer it through the text console.
[11:28] <gordonjcp> heh, was just about to say that
[11:28] <pfchen> i want to use the live video ,how should do i?
[11:28] <genii> mavericken: Normally you have a commandline server and then use some machine with a gui to ssh in and tinker
[11:29] <mavericken> okay
[11:29] <mavericken> do u think i should use the pc version instead
[11:29] <mavericken> it can still be a server platform right
[11:29] <mneptok> mavericken: what is the goal?
[11:29] <soundray> mavericken: no, like I said, you can install the desktop on top
[11:30] <mavericken> i'm setting up a server to wun my website and applications
[11:30] <nospi> soundray, got it goin :)
[11:30] <mneptok> mavericken: then you should not have a GUI>
[11:30] <Dimensions> hi ... i have installed SAMBA on one of my LAN system ... to make it file server ...with ubuntu on it ... but how do i access that system from other systems ???
[11:30] <pfchen> when i start a live video ,the os told me to use IE ,oh ,faint
[11:30] <soundray> nospi: well dun
[11:30] <mneptok> mavericken: learn to administer a Unix server the way it is meant to be administered. ;)
[11:30] <mavericken> okay i'm very new to linux
[11:31] <nospi> soundray, the best way to learn new stuff is to make mistakes and have to fix them :p
[11:31] <mneptok> mavericken: still no reason to develop bad habits
[11:31] <mots> hi, could anyone help me getting the radeon drivers to work?
[11:31] <mavericken> can some1 help me from bottom up
[11:31] <mots> i don't seem to get 3d-accel
[11:31] <mots> http://pastebin.ca/404901
[11:31] <mneptok> mavericken: GUIs on servers are a bad idea, unless they are doing remote X display.
[11:31] <mots> here's my xorg.conf, card's a x700
[11:31] <ephemeral> hi, i have a serious problem with ubuntu (my wireless card, my sound device, etc don't work anymore ) after i try to install ieee80211 subsystem and  ipw3945
[11:32] <soundray> mavericken: the best way to learn is to teach yourself, not to have it spoonfed
[11:32] <mavericken> yeah i know
[11:32] <mavericken> but its really urgent
[11:32] <mavericken> i wish i really had the time
[11:32] <mneptok> mavericken: is this for work?
[11:32] <mavericken> yeah
[11:32] <mavericken> they wanna try out ubuntu
[11:32] <mneptok> mavericken: purchase a cowwercial support contract from Canonical :)
[11:32] <mneptok> *commercial
[11:33] <mavericken> but they wanna try out the freeware first
[11:33] <nosse> mavericken: you could start by learnig how to use commandline
[11:33] <mavericken> where do i get those command lines?
[11:34] <hoa_> hi, i have a serious problem with ubuntu (my wireless card, my sound device, etc don't work anymore ) after i try to install ieee80211 subsystem and  ipw3945
[11:34] <mneptok> mavericken: if you don't have the expertise, how do they expect to make a fair judgement?
[11:34] <nosse> mavericken: ok, you're really lost atm
[11:34] <mavericken> yup i'm
[11:34] <nosse> what do you have installed now?
[11:35] <goddie> Goddie
[11:35] <goddie> hi
[11:35] <soundray> hoa_: just restore your backups from before the modifications.
[11:35] <mavericken> the server version
[11:36] <hoa_> soundray: how should i do it? i m quite inexperience with ubuntu
[11:36] <genii> soundray Try answering the home phone at 4AM with a tech support call from someone whose "cupholder" retracted unexpectedly into the computer
[11:36] <mneptok> mavericken: you need more help than IRC can provide.
[11:36] <mavericken> okay
[11:36] <mavericken> thanks
[11:36] <goddie> I would like to have a 3d desktop how do i do that
[11:36] <tdn> Hi. I have a Asus P5N32 mainboard. On board is a wireless access point. I would like to enable this access point. But I do not know how to do this in Linux or if it is even supported. Can I please get some advice on this or maybe just some pointers to information about enabling on board access points in Linux in general?
[11:36] <soundray> hoa_: you have backups, don't you?
[11:36] <soundray> genii: can you recommend a website where I can download RAM for free?
[11:37] <soundray> ;)
  i doubt so, unless it automatic backup (which is unlikely)
[11:37] <mneptok> mavericken: we can send you information on commercial support options. but we really don't cover --teach-me-unix issues
[11:37] <goddie> Soundray
  i ran this cd ieee80211-1.1.12 sudo sh remove-old sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/ieee80211 sudo rm -rf /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/net/ieee80211* sudo rm -rf /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/config/ieee8021
[11:37] <mavericken> okay if it helps
[11:38] <hoa_> soundray: then everything messedup, my wireless interface, my sound ... all gone
[11:38] <goddie> mavericken I need some help
[11:38] <soundray> hoa_: that's just silly.  I'll take your word for it
[11:39] <hoa_> soundray: thanks... i am in hell
[11:39] <goddie> Albert can u help me
[11:39] <hoa_> soundray: i tried to install back the driver, ipw3945 but system refuse
[11:39] <soundray> hoa_: there is a small chance that you can rescue your system by reinstalling the kernel package.
[11:39] <hoa_> soundray: but funny is that my sound also gone =/
[11:39] <mneptok> goddie: do you know where xorg.conf is stored?
[11:39] <albert_> well, i hope so
[11:40] <albert_> but i think you think i'm a different person ;)
[11:40] <goddie> NO I DONT KNOW
[11:40] <spox> does anyone have a set of packaged kernel / iptables / iproute with QoS support for Ubuntu 6.10 ??
[11:40] <genii> soundray LOL http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/showthread.php?t=83854
[11:40] <mneptok> goddie: then a 3D desktop is probably not something you have the experience to set up, sadly.
[11:40] <albert_> -> /etc/X11/xorg.conf   <- write the x large
[11:40] <Dimensions> !samba
[11:40] <goddie> well albert i want to have a 3d effect on my desktop
[11:40] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[11:40] <hoa_> soundray: erm, may you guide me along?
[11:41] <albert_> goddie: ye, that's a good attitude :D
[11:41] <soundray> hoa_: see what kernel packages are still in your cache: 'ls /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image*'
[11:41] <albert_> goddie: which graphics card are you using?
[11:41] <mavericken> nosse u htere mate
[11:41] <nosse> mavericken: yes
[11:42] <soundray> hoa_: then install the one with the highest version number: 'sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-...deb' (fill in the version)
[11:42] <goddie> i have got it its called beryl
[11:42] <need411> <--- loves beryl
[11:42] <hoa_> soundray: thank you very much. I am deeply appreciated.
[11:42] <slacker_nl> anyone overhere that runs dovecot with ssl? - I'm unable to fine mkcert.sh
[11:43] <mneptok> goddie: a 3D desktop is probably not something you have the experience to set up. i recommend you not risk breaking your entire X installation for eye condy.
[11:43] <slacker_nl> the ubuntu package does not supplpy it
[11:43] <mneptok> *candy
[11:43] <hoa_> soundray: probably need reboot rite? if anything goes wrong, i will just get back here
[11:43] <albert_> goddie: you have to follow the various guides concerning the topic of properly installing your graphics card and the hardware acceleration
[11:43] <slacker_nl> !dovecot > slacker_nl
[11:43] <hoa_> soundray: but is there any reliable guide to install ipw3945?
[11:43] <lnx^> hey
[11:43] <mavericken> noose can go on private chat?
[11:43] <albert_> goddie: after you did that, you can easily play around with beryl (if you have anything else then an ati card)
[11:43] <nosse> mavericken: I allready tryed that with you, I cant see you chatting me privately
[11:43] <lnx^> is there some tool for converting .avis to DVD format and burning them?
[11:43] <soundray> hoa_: I don't know, but at the moment you have more serious trouble than your wireless not working, so go fix that first.
[11:43] <mneptok> hoa_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules
[11:44] <nosse> mavericken: wait a sec, I might have some filter on
[11:44] <lnx^> i'd need to burn quite a few .avi/.mpeg/.mp4 files to DVDs so that they can be watched with normal dvd players
[11:44] <albert_> goddie: try /msg ubotu !beryl
[11:44] <hoa_> mneptok: i have alread done that
[11:44] <mneptok> hoa_: then your 3945 will work
[11:45] <hoa_> mneptok: WPA is not working
[11:45] <mavericken> okay
[11:45] <nosse>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[11:45] <nosse> damn
[11:45] <mneptok> hoa_: WPA is a protocol. it is unrelated to the hardware functioning.
[11:45] <hoa_> soundray: the sound problem will also be fixed that way, am i right?
[11:46] <hoa_> mneptok: erm, that's why i tried to install ipw3945.sf.net, but when follow the instruction my systme screwed
[11:46] <need411>  open source
[11:46] <need411> oops
[11:46] <soundray> hoa_: I don't know
[11:46] <need411> sorry.. wrong box
[11:46] <spox> does anyone have a set of packaged kernel / iptables / iproute with QoS support for Ubuntu 6.10 ??
[11:46] <mneptok> hoa_: WPA is a protocol. a different driver for the hardware is not the answer.
[11:47] <soundray> hoa_: tackle the problems one at a time. First you want to restore the modules that you deleted.
[11:47] <hoa_> okay..
[11:47] <need411> he can't set his key w/o the network manager, right?
[11:47] <mneptok> hoa_: WPA is working just fine. the problem is that you don't know how to configure it. ;)
[11:47] <soundray> genii: that person does seem to be serious about "downloading RAM". I thought it was just a joke... :(
[11:47] <mneptok> hoa_: get the modules fixed first
[11:47] <need411> no way
[11:48] <hoa_> soundray: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.17-11-generic_<IP_ADDRESS>-11.35_i386.deb
[11:48] <hoa_> /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-generic_<IP_ADDRESS>_i386.deb
[11:48] <hoa_> which one should i go for?
[11:48] <mneptok> need411: you can easily use WPA(PSK/2) without n-m-g
[11:48] <need411> then I would like to download a quad core processor
[11:48] <josep> Quin s el servei de manteniment?
[11:48] <mneptok> !fr > josep
[11:48] <soundray> hoa_: the one that you're running already (check with uname -a)
[11:48] <need411> well I just ran the cable for now.. but I'm definitely getting to that in a few
[11:48] <mneptok> josep: en #ubuntu-fr stp
[11:49] <josep> Grcies.

[11:53] <nalpha> guys.. if i want to put autorun manually instead using "GUI Start Up Program" where is the config file?
[11:55] <soundray> nalpha: could you rephrase that? It's not quite clear what you want to do.
[11:56] <hoa_> soundray: the wireless interface is still missing, but the sound is back
[11:56] <nalpha> soundray:  if i want to put script that auto running when the gnome started,  by manually edit the config file instead using "GUI Start Up Program" where is the config file?
[11:56] <Enselic``> Hmm, isnt Programmer Dvorak availible?
[11:56] <hoa_> soundray: in device manager, the wireless card is detected, but under networking, there is none
[11:56] <soundray> nalpha: I see, let me check

[12:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about desktop-effects - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:01] <soundray> hoa_: so it's there. Is it loaded? 'lsmod | grep ipw3945' (no pasting please)
[12:01] <nospi> !ubuntu-effects | finalbeta
[12:01] <ubotu> finalbeta: For help with 3d desktop effects applications or drivers please join #ubuntu-effects, someone there will be glad to help you. You can read http://forum.beryl-project.org/ for most common problems or questions.
[12:01] <IdleOne> zues_62, #beryl or #ubuntu-effects
[12:01] <hoa_> soundray: what do you mean by no pasting?
[12:02] <zues_62> idleone do i have to change the server name?
[12:02] <soundray> hoa_: it means don't paste output or errors into the channel.
[12:02] <finalbeta> ubuntu-effects makes little sense no? The package is not named that way.
[12:02] <IdleOne> zues_62, type /join #beryl
[12:02] <dreadlord> #clamav
[12:02] <dreadlord> ???
[12:02] <nospi> finalbeta, that's the chat room

[12:02] <hoa_> soundray: i will take not of the not pasting.. so sorry
[12:03] <soundray> hoa_: okay. Try 'sudo modprobe ipw3945' and check your network interfaces again.
[12:03] <IdleOne> zues_62, or /j #ubuntu-effects
[12:03] <finalbeta> I don't need it. Still seems weird, if you already know the channel, there would be no need to ask ubotu
[12:03] <nalpha> soundray: thanx alot
[12:03] <soundray> hoa_: don't worry, you weren't flooding. It's just something you should be aware of for future reference

[12:04] <francisca303csm> 303fll
[12:04] <nospi> finalbeta, i was telling you the channel
[12:04] <hoa_> soundray: it said error inserting ipw3945, unknown sumbol in module or unknown parameter. Could not find intel pro wireless 3945bg network connection
[12:04] <nospi> !ubuntu-effects > finalbeta
[12:04] <finalbeta> nospi: and I wanted to have ubotu say the channel for someone else in this channel.
[12:04] <nospi> finalbeta, oh sorry, i thought you wanted it for yourself
[12:05] <nalpha> soundray: can't ? ow... i not read the rule...
[12:05] <finalbeta> i'm not touching beryl/compiz with a 10 foot pole :p.
[12:05] <dreadlord> hi any place to get help about clamav??? #clamav is empty
[12:05] <soundray> hoa_: okay, I can't help you from this point onwards. Have a look at the wiki, then ask the channel again.
[12:06] <soundray> !wireless | hoa_
[12:06] <ubotu> hoa_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:06] <hoa_> soundray: i think because i remove the ieee80211 subsystem.
[12:06] <mkquist_> what kinda sys requirements does beryl require?
[12:06] <need411> never used one before but I have to ask, on a VM can you make the real machine's burners available?
[12:07] <hoa_> soundray: now there is 2 version of ieee80211 in my ubuntu
[12:07] <need411> it's running perfect on 512 w/ nvidia fx5500
[12:07] <need411> but that card has 256 as well
[12:08] <mkquist_> 512 ram? or proc?
[12:08] <need411> ram.. 2.0 sempron processor
[12:08] <mkquist_> =\
[12:09] <mkquist_> wonder how low u can go? =p
[12:09] <need411> was wondering that too
[12:09] <mkquist_> its beryl and whats the other one?
[12:09] <mkquist_> which ones for nvidia?
[12:10] <need411> beryl will work nvidia
[12:10] <soundray> hoa_: please read ubotu's message ^^
[12:10] <MrFeetio> do xbox controlers work "out of the box" or do i need a patch/driver to get it to work in linux
[12:10] <need411> on*
[12:10] <meandrain>  /leave #ubuntu
[12:10] <hoa_> soundray: many thanks though. I have read it prior to IRC
[12:11] <need411> in a virtual machine can one access the burners on the primary machine?
[12:12] <Frogzoo> need411: I'd expect so
[12:12] <Frogzoo> need411: also, there's wine
[12:13] <need411> wasn't sure about that..  never used one myself
[12:13] <need411> AnyDVD in WINE?

[12:16] <need411> I don't use it much but still
[12:17] <Flaminguican> What program do you use to configure the network?
[12:17] <soundray> Flaminguican: network-admin
[12:17] <Dimensions> how can i access a ubuntu file server from another ubuntu system without using console ???
[12:17] <Flaminguican> soundray: is that specific to ubuntu?
[12:18] <soundray> Flaminguican: no, but it's specific to gnome
[12:18] <Dimensions> Flaminguican:  Networking
[12:18] <nitalaut> hello guys
[12:18] <Flaminguican> soundray: hm, I've got gnome installed, but it didn't install the network administration tool :/
[12:19] <nitalaut> sorry for this little offtopic - tell me please how do you call system administrator correctly ? I mean the official name of this profession...
[12:19] <need411> frogzoo..   had that one a long time ago.. how is it still holding up?
[12:19] <kippi> hey
[12:19] <Dimensions> Flaminguican:  go to System Administration Menu ....
[12:19] <daz> hi all
[12:19] <kippi> where can I find the script that tells things to bootup on bootup
[12:19] <soundray> Flaminguican: if you install ubuntu-desktop, it should all be in place
[12:20] <Flaminguican> Dimensions: yeah, it's not there.
[12:20] <daz> welcome for me in my first time to entering such caht
[12:20] <daz> chat *

[12:21] <soundray> daz: behave yourself
[12:21] <d4rkhowl> hello
[12:21] <Flaminguican> Dimensions: i'm not on ubuntu.  It's not in the administration menu.
[12:21] <daz> i was hearing that ubuntu online help is ;)
[12:21] <soundray> daz: being new here doesn't mean you should make yourself unpopular straight away.
[12:21] <soundray> daz: if you want help, you need to say what the problem is.
[12:21] <daz> but it seems to be :(
[12:21] <dustin> lol
[12:22] <daz> mm
[12:22] <daz> okey
[12:22] <Flaminguican> soundray: i've installed arch.  I've installed gnome && gnome-extra.  It just didn't come with the network tool.  That's the story ;)
[12:22] <daz> hibernate no longer works, why ??
[12:22] <dustin> daz how much of a nood are you
[12:23] <daz> what ?? what you mean ?? what nood ??
[12:23] <dustin> I mean noob
[12:23] <dustin> sorry
[12:23] <Pici> !noob
[12:23] <ubotu> Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[12:23] <d4rkhowl> hi i'm an winxp user.... i need help about installing ubuntu
[12:23] <d4rkhowl> hi i'm an winxp user.... i need help about installing ubuntu
[12:23] <dustin> I apologize again
[12:24] <daz> i have 6.06 ubuntu, 512 memory , 1.5G Virtual memory (swap space)
[12:24] <dustin> How new are you to linux naz
[12:24] <gavin> are there any other file systems supported in linux that can be supported in windows using a utility, other than ext2/3 ?
[12:24] <daz> 1 year ago
[12:24] <dustin> ok
[12:24] <daz> i was using rh9
[12:24] <dustin> where do you do your research online
[12:24] <CookedGryphon> d4rkhowl: anything in particular you need help with?
[12:24] <daz> but i am new to ubuntu
[12:24] <gordonjcp> gavin: vfat is supported natively, ntfs is supported for read-only quite well, read-write is dodgy
[12:24] <daz> mmm
[12:25] <daz> google
[12:25] <soundray> Flaminguican: you haven't come to the best of places for Arch Linux support. I suggest you install ubuntu, or join an Arch support channel.
[12:25] <d4rkhowl> can ubuntu be installed over a winxp OS? how?
[12:25] <dustin> ubuntu is much different than redhat but if you know your command line you run into less confusion
[12:25] <Pici> d4rkhowl: Depends on what you mean by 'over'
[12:25] <soundray> Flaminguican: there are probably few people here who can help you install network-admin on Arch Linux.
[12:25] <daz> mm, i undersant
[12:25] <daz> understand*
[12:25] <daz> i am fairly good
[12:26] <daz> @ linux
[12:26] <Pici> d4rkhowl: Both OS's can coexist on different partitions, if thats what you're asking
[12:26] <dustin> ubuntu is a debian based system
[12:26] <daz> ya, ya
[12:26] <Flaminguican> soundray: yes, I understand that.  I just knew ubuntu had the manager and figured I ask what it was called so I could look it up.
[12:26] <daz> thnx on your great knowledge
[12:26] <daz> your are so kind
[12:26] <CookedGryphon> how well does partition resizing in the installer work nowadays? i haven't done a fresh install since hoary
[12:26] <gavin> gordonjcp: Hmmm.. so I guess JFS and XFS are out of the question huh :  /
[12:26] <dustin> rea your documentation to make your questions more clear
[12:26] <daz> lsn;
[12:28] <dustin> would you like me to provide you with some good online resources
[12:28] <soundray> CookedGryphon: it works reliably
[12:28] <CookedGryphon> even with ntfs?
[12:28] <Dimensions> d4rkhowl:  yes ....
[12:28] <soundray> CookedGryphon: even on NTFS.
[12:28] <d4rkhowl> Pici ---> i mean i want to install ubuntu yet not altering my current Winxp setup....
[12:28] <daz> i installed ubuntu from 3 or 4 months age, and i depend heavily on hibernate to end my sessions, these times i was not have an internet connection, but from two or three days ago i installed my dial-up modem and scince then i couldn't do hibernate
[12:29] <CookedGryphon> awesome, that's an extra 3 ppl who i wasn't confident about converting who i can now (people who actually saw my setup and asked me to change them over)
[12:29] <d4rkhowl> i mean i want to install ubuntu yet not altering my current Winxp setup....
[12:29] <daz> so what do you expect to be the prob ?
[12:29] <soundray> CookedGryphon: backing up is still recommended
[12:29] <dustin> try uninstalling your dialup modem and see if it works again then you have singled out the cause of the problem
[12:29] <d4rkhowl> does ubuntu automatically makes a dual boot start up after installing it?
[12:30] <CookedGryphon> soundray: naturally
[12:30] <Pici> d4rkhowl: The install CD can resize your windows parition.  I suggest defragging before you do it though.
[12:30] <soundray> d4rkhowl: yes
[12:30] <gavin>  /quit
[12:30] <dustin> is it a winlucent modem
[12:30] <daz> it is conexent softmodem
[12:30] <daz> that named win/lin modem
[12:31] <daz> it took me long time to install it
[12:31] <d4rkhowl> you mean the install cd does not alter my current windows setup?
[12:31] <daz> i can not reinstall it, it will be a hard work
[12:31] <soundray> daz: open /etc/default/acpi-support and add the name of the conexant driver module to the MODULES= line
[12:31] <d4rkhowl> i have two harddisk actually...
[12:32] <daz> soundray, okey
[12:32] <holycow> does anyone know where in gnome the 'default' system/admin launchers are handled? i need to add a new icon to the admin sectio and modify the default command of another launcher.
[12:32] <daz> working....
[12:32] <dustin> external modems are better for linux systems
[12:32] <d4rkhowl> sorry for the question but i am a total newbie here when it comes to Linux
[12:32] <daz> mm
[12:32] <Pici> d4rkhowl: Thats what we're here for :)
[12:32] <soundray> Pici: resizing automatically defragments to the extent necessary for the desired resizing amount.
[12:33] <Pici> soundray: Does it now..? hm.
[12:33] <daz> soundray: what do you mean with dirver module name ??
[12:33] <daz> do you know the .deb file name ??
[12:33] <daz> or what ??
[12:33] <d4rkhowl> thank you pici
[12:34] <soundray> daz: the one that appears in 'lsmod' output and corresponds to your softmodem.
[12:34] <d4rkhowl> so installing ubuntu is totally okay and user friendly?
[12:34] <daz> mm
[12:34] <soundray> d4rkhowl: it's been designed with the nontechnical user in mind
[12:34] <need411> very
[12:35] <[WaZ] > my ubuntu install broke my windows install actually :S
[12:35] <[WaZ] > but I though that was a feature ;-)
[12:35] <dustin> 4rkhowl going from windows to linux is not always so user friendly the applications in linux are foreign compared to the applications in windows
[12:36] <daz> oops, i searched in "lsmod" by "hsf" but many result appears
[12:36] <d4rkhowl> what do you mean justin?
[12:36] <soundray> dustin: that applies to users who are already used to Windows programs. Per se, ubuntu software isn't more difficult to operate.
[12:36] <[WaZ] > id say ubuntu is easier then Vista
[12:36] <n00bieee> help how do i reinstall manual my wifi driver

[12:45] <para_site> soundray: that seems to be a directory

[12:45] <soundray> para_site: then your setup is non-standard
[12:45] <blue_> dam i didnt wanna hear that :P
[12:45] <soundray> blue_: the easiest way is to set it up in a 32bit chroot environment

[12:47] <osphy> quick question where is can I download the debs for libqt3 for ubuntu
[12:48] <soundray> !libqt3
[12:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libqt3 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:48] <Pici> osphy: Try searching for it on http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[12:48] <gavin> I'm trying to install ntfs-3g using aptitude, and I got a weird error and I don't know why it won't install D  :. It said first that it didn't know how to make device "fuse" (one of the dependant installations) and then nothing else would install because they're all dependant. Any help?
[12:49] <soundray> !libqt3-mt | osphy, this is probably what you want
[12:49] <ubotu> osphy, this is probably what you want: libqt3-mt: Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime version), Version 3. In component main, is optional. Version 3:3.3.6-3ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 3064 kB, installed size 8712 kB
[12:50] <haxality> hello all
[12:50] <haxality> I'm having an odd problem with opera, all the menus and buttons and whatnot are dark grey as opposed to the normal whitish color
[12:50] <haxality> it works if I do 'sudo opera' meaning the root user's opera still works fine
[12:51] <soundray> gavin: please run 'sudo apt-get -f install' and paste the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:51] <n00bieee_> how do i manually install my wireless lan driver if it was removed?
[12:51] <haxality> but not my copy
[12:51] <compwiz18> why do processes you such a large amount of virtual memory?
[12:51] <soundray> haxality: do a 'rm -rf $HOME/.opera*' and start with a fresh configuration
[12:51] <gavin> soundray: Does it matter that I used aptitude? Or should I just type "apt-get" anyways?
[12:52] <n00bieee_> help
[12:52] <battlesquid> i use gnome terminal a lot every day. periodically i have to do some work on a weird remote box that requires me to use the ISO-8859-1 charset (i know how to change to that) as opposed to the utf-8 which i normally use. i want the terminal to remember this for the server. there are profiles but it seems encoding doesn't follow profiles. should i add a bugreport at launchpad to request this?

[01:01] <ubotu> n00bieee: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[01:01] <oyvind> synaptic??
[01:01] <soundray> c0kr0: have you got openssh-server installed?
[01:01] <c0kr0> he said iam behind gateway
[01:01] <gavin> oyvind: Are you using gnome? Do you know?
[01:01] <c0kr0> yes
[01:01] <oyvind> ubuntu
[01:01] <c0kr0> i have
[01:02] <c0kr0> if i am behind gateway can he ssh me?
[01:02] <soundray> c0kr0: you need to configure your router to forward port 22 to your machine.
[01:02] <gavin> oyvind: First day?
[01:02] <oyvind> jepp
[01:02] <gavin> oyvind: Firefox should be installed already. Are you sure it's not under "applications"?
[01:02] <c0kr0> configure the gateway?
[01:03] <soundray> n00bieee: it also helps to rephrase your question and give some detail if you're not getting a reply.
[01:03] <n00bieee> hermn
[01:03] <n00bieee> okay
[01:03] <soundray> c0kr0: the router that acts as the gateway
[01:03] <c0kr0> okey
[01:03] <c0kr0> thanks for your information
[01:03] <oyvind> i have firefox but i cant use it because it closes when i open a new page in it
[01:03] <n00bieee> recently itried to install intel 3945abg driver from intellinuxwireless.org
[01:03] <c0kr0> nduz
[01:04] <gavin> oyvind: So it crashes?
[01:04] <n00bieee> but i came with error
[01:04] <c0kr0> apa ga dari komputernya yogi dirubah2 gitu?
[01:04] <c0kr0> sori
[01:04] <c0kr0> sorry
[01:04] <oyvind> jepp
[01:04] <n00bieee> afterwards, i restarted my laptop, the wifi isnt there
[01:04] <oyvind> do you know what i can do to make it work?
[01:04] <gavin> oyvind: Did it work before? Or it never worked?
[01:04] <n00bieee> i used to be eth1
[01:04] <Appleide> I think I've just finished installing Ubuntu, its started but the mouse doesn't move. Does it need "mouse driver"?
[01:05] <oyvind> it worked yesterday
[01:05] <oyvind> but not today
[01:05] <oyvind> and thats the only thing i have installed
[01:05] <n00bieee> it used to be eth1
[01:06] <nosse> Appleide: might, what mouse do you use?
[01:06] <soundray> n00bieee: were you here as hoa_ earlier?
[01:06] <gavin> oyvind: Did you upgrade it or something? You usually don't have to "install" firefox.
[01:06] <Appleide> apple macbook track pad.
[01:07] <nosse> Appleide: I can't help you with that, but once you said what mouse you use, someone might can
[01:07] <oyvind> i know but i did not have when i installed linux so i needed to download it, i used a program in linux .... terminal i think
[01:07] <n00bieee> no..
[01:07] <soundray> oyvind: try with a new configuration: rename the directory $HOME/.mozilla to something else.
[01:07] <albert_> does anybody know a good palm-client-software for xfce?
[01:07] <Appleide> hmm, there is "examples" and "install" on the desktop, I guess the process isn't finished?
[01:07] <nosse> Appleide: you can use ubuntu without mouse quite easily
[01:07] <Appleide> what keys?
[01:07] <nosse> examples should be there, if I remember correctly
[01:08] <oyvind> ok i will try... but i realy dont know wath you are talking about
[01:08] <soundray> Appleide: it sounds like you've just booted the desktop CD. Are you sure you've installed?
[01:08] <Appleide> i guess not
[01:08] <gavin> soundray: That seems to have worked, thanks. It recommends I install a new fuse module, should I worry about that?
[01:09] <Appleide> but how do I get the thing to keep going??
[01:09] <nosse> Appleide: alt + F1 opens the main menus, alt tab changes active program, and alt space lets you move a window around
[01:09] <soundray> oyvind: firefox stores its configuration in your home directory, inside a directory called .mozilla. If you rename it and restart firefox, a new one will be created.
[01:09] <soundray> gavin: sorry, I don't know
[01:09] <gavin> soundray: OK, I'll just try and see.
[01:09] <Appleide> thanks.
[01:10] <soundray> oyvind: this is a way of checking whether the problem is in your user configuration, rather than your installation.
[01:11] <gavin> oyvind: Also, .mozilla is probably a hidden folder, so you have to make sure you can see hidden folders. Can you figure out how to do that?
[01:11] <nosse> Appleide: you should click that install thing, you can do that by ctrl+alt+arrow keys, try to get your desktop active, then arrow keys so that install gets active, then hit enter
[01:11] <oyvind> jepp
[01:12] <Appleide> what, all the arrows?
[01:12] <nosse> Appleide: sorry ctrl+alt+tab to get your desktop active
[01:13] <oyvind> i cant rename anything in the etc folder
[01:13] <soundray> oyvind: you aren't supposed to
[01:13] <[miles] > afternoon guys
[01:13] <oyvind> ok but how can i rename it then??
[01:13] <maxagaz> does someone know a nice free mailing list system which allows to add files when sending emails, and to send email only to some groups of the list ?
[01:13] <soundray> oyvind: rename /home/oyvind/.mozilla
[01:13] <syock> when you`re connected to a network, how do you check your pc`s local address?
[01:13] <[miles] > anyone know where I could get a .deb of the latest offical stable kernel (2.6.20-3)
[01:14] <Pici> syock: ifconfig
[01:14] <nosse> oyvind: propably as a superuser, but that's stupid thing to do
[01:14] <soundray> oyvind: don't rename anything in /etc
[01:14] <Pici> [miles] : For Ubuntu? or just in general?
[01:14] <oyvind> k
[01:14] <[miles] > ubuntu
[01:15] <soundray> [miles] : there is no 2.6.20 kernel that has been released yet
[01:15] <Pici> [miles] : Well the only version that has 2.6.20 is Feisty, and that isnt not yet released.  You can find the deb on packages.ubuntu.com
[01:15] <kanpachi> hello, i can't install the nvidia driver on edgy, i have a nvidia geforce 4 mx, i tried installing nvidia-glx-legacy, it won't load, the envy script isn't working either. what can i do?
[01:15] <syock> ifconfig displays my external ip address. How do I look for my internal one?
[01:16] <[miles] > Pici: I'll compile it from the source tarball at kernel.org
[01:16] <[miles] > Pici: thanks anyway
[01:16] <Pici> [miles] : Good luck :)
[01:16] <[miles] > cheers
[01:16] <soundray> syock: in the ifconfig output, look at the stanza that relates to your internal interface
[01:16] <oyvind> f... i hate this thing.... i only need a web browser that works to check my bank an other things
[01:17] <oyvind> i linux is not working for me
[01:17] <kanpachi> i just installed edgy today, i used dapper before, and while running "dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg", dapper used to recognize my card and monitor, and it doesn't do that anymore. it just detects it as generic
[01:17] <soundray> oyvind: can you open a terminal window?
[01:17] <nosse> you could try w3c, but thats bit harder
[01:17] <kanpachi> anyone? please?
[01:17] <oyvind> i want to but were do i open it from?
[01:17] <billy> Good morning.
[01:18] <soundray> oyvind: Applications-Accessories

[01:18] <soundray> oyvind: use my nick please if you're replying to me
[01:18] <Pici> nosse: I dont think that w3c is going to be of any help to do online banking
[01:18] <gwilma> Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with one directory: I can't re-install bzr, and if I change to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/bzrlib/, and type 'ls', I get the error message: 'ls: reading directory .: Input/output error'. Any ideas?
[01:18] <nosse> Pici: maybe
[01:18] <soundray> What is w3c anyway? Do you mean w3m?
[01:19] <nosse> yeah
[01:19] <nosse> it's been while since I tryed that
[01:19] <syock> soundray: there`s inet addr, which would be my external ip addr, and a Bcast addr which I do not know, but other than the loopback interface, there`s nothing else
[01:19] <oyvind> dont know how do use your nick when im replying
[01:19] <soundray> syock: then you haven't got an "internal" IP
[01:19] <nosse> in online banking you should not need much javascript support or flash, so it might be enough
[01:20] <Pici> oyvind: just type 'soudray
[01:20] <soundray> oyvind: just like I'm using yours when I talk to you
[01:20] <billy> my online banking doesn't need javascript.

[01:48] <_fotoflo_> Canonical names?
[01:48] <MarkCh> _fotoflo_: canonical is the company which supports ubuntu, mark shuttleworth is the founder of both canonical and ubuntu.
[01:48] <MarkCh> !canonical
[01:48] <ubotu> Canonical Ltd. is committed to the development, distribution and promotion of open source software products, and to providing tools and support to the open source community. It is the driving force behind the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu Operating Systems. Canonical's website is at http://www.canonical.com/
[01:48] <Chapayev> ok - that was over my head but the error is short
[01:48] <hylje> progek: look out for the beta releases
[01:48] <progek> hylje thanks
[01:48] <hylje> progek: feisty can break though, so dont do anything too critical with it
[01:48] <soundray> progek: yes. /join #ubuntu+1 and read the topic
[01:48] <simon___> i have pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11328/
[01:48] <_fotoflo_> "Besides the canonical domains, Postfix can be configured to be final destination for any number of additional domains."
[01:49] <guard>  So I did an install with xubuntu with the lastest ISO with the alternate install as the system is a Toshiba Portege 7100. Install went fine, and the hardware seems all detected. Problem: Seems no one makes debs for i386 (or rarely). Is it possible to use the deb managers (Adept, etc) to fetch source and build for you?
[01:49] <shadowhywind> tar'ing something and untarring it in windows wills screw up the files correct?
[01:50] <Chapayev> ok - that was over my head but the error is short
[01:50] <slacker_nl> shadowhywind: no, why should it screw thing up?
[01:50] <MarkCh> shadowhywind: i dont think so. why would the files get screwed?
[01:50] <Chapayev>  modprobe ndiswrapper
[01:50] <Chapayev> FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Operation not permitted
[01:50] <mjr> shadowhywind, no, it should work okay. Permissions will not be preserved as is, of course
[01:50] <trochej> guard: apt-src ought to get you a package ready to be installed
[01:50] <Chapayev> sorry :)
[01:50] <slacker_nl> Chapayev: sudo .....
[01:50] <sipior> _fotoflo_: in this sense, it generally means domains that are the natural endpoint for a machine. so if your domain is fotoflo.com, the canonical domains for postfix to receive mail will be fotoflo.com and $hostname.fotoflo.com
[01:50] <gavin> soundray: Sorry to bother you again, but I think the problem I'm having now might have to do with this line: "users from fuse group can use the ntfs-3g command unprivileged". I need privileges, so maybe the fuse command "mknod /dev/fuse c 10 229" should be different? I know know D  :
[01:50] <shadowhywind> i don't know, hehe I had a tar once that i untar'ed and it screwed things up
[01:50] <Chapayev> i was sudo -s
[01:50] <trochej> shadowhywind: The only thing that I can tink of going wrong is difference in codepage and in text files the end of line
[01:50] <shadowhywind> In that case, i wont worry about tar'ing something and storeing it on ntfs then
[01:50] <trochej> shadowhywind: Screwed how?
[01:51] <Peter77> does anyone know where the gdk themes are stored
[01:51] <progek> ok cool, when it comes out I can update my feisty version for whatever bugs right? Or would I need a reinstall? I have kubuntu and was going to reinstall ubuntu, just thought if I can get by with feisty I would try it since I'm reinstalling anyway.
[01:51] <MarkCh> shadowhywind: if there were links in the tar and you untarred in windows the links wont work though.
[01:51] <Peter77> I want to edit a login background
[01:51] <MarkCh> i mean ln links not hyperlinks.
[01:51] <Chapayev> ok ur right - it was ..
[01:51] <soundray> gavin: 'sudo chown root.fuse /dev/fuse' and add your fuse users to the group fuse (sudo adduser username fuse)
[01:51] <shadowhywind> like #!/bin/bsh (or what ever it is supposed to be came out) %&/gin/*something*
[01:51] <simon___> soundray: i have pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11328/
[01:51] <Chapayev> Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid argument
[01:52] <trochej> Is there a way to get to text installer on ubuntu, or has it gone away and is not going back
[01:52] <trochej> ?
[01:52] <slacker_nl> trochej: the alternate CD has a text installer
[01:52] <simon___> i think it could hel to maybe put reset all network settings. Is this possible?
[01:52] <trochej> ok
[01:52] <trochej> tbx
[01:52] <slacker_nl> trochej: or try the server installation CD
[01:52] <shadowhywind> So there would be no issues tar'ing something storeing it on a ntfs, and untar it back on a ext3?
[01:52] <Chapayev> btw, i m going back and forth bet bluetooth gprs - and trying to get wifi - do those settings mess w/ wifi?
[01:52] <soundray> simon___: yes, I see it. Can you also post the output from 'sudo env' pls
[01:52] <Chapayev> rfcomm0 ..
[01:53] <MarkCh> shadowhywind: those errors might be on the text files, since most linux editors support many text file formats while windows mostly rely on ASCII and that other format WordPad supports.
[01:53] <MarkCh> ive got a text file written in ubuntu which does not show well in windows too, so maybe thats just the problem with your script.
[01:54] <shadowhywind> MarkCh pk
[01:54] <hylje> MarkCh: windows and linux use different linefeed characters
[01:54] <shadowhywind> ok*
[01:54] <simon___> soundray: done http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11329/
[01:54] <sebdah_> Does anyone know when the next LTS should be released?
[01:54] <Peter77> does anyone know how to edit a login background picture?
[01:54] <shriphani> guys i got an extra monitor here..... is there any way i can export a virtual console to it ?
[01:55] <soundray> simon___: the problem is that you've set a proxy that doesn't respond: http_proxy=http://<IP_ADDRESS>:6588/
[01:55] <shriphani> Peter77, System ?
[01:55] <Peter77> ?
[01:55] <shriphani> in the top panel
[01:55] <kristin> i need a geek
[01:55] <simon___> ok
[01:55] <soundray> simon___: undo the proxy setting, and it should work again.
[01:55] <kristin> a big one
[01:55] <kristin> any takers ?
[01:55] <Peter77> I'm trying to find where the gdk themes are stored so I can edit one of the background pics
[01:55] <MarkCh> kristin: how big?
[01:55] <trochej> kristin: What for and how high?
[01:55] <MarkCh> i'm 5'11...
[01:55] <JuJuBee> I need advise.  I am not a linux expert by any means.  I wish to have centralized user accounts.  I was reading and it seems that there are 2 routes I can take (NIS or LDAP).  Which is 1) better & 2) easier to use for a beginner?
[01:56] <need411> change the "splash" right?
[01:56] <kristin> i need a geek who can figure out wtf i did wrong when i set up samba
[01:56] <Chapayev> <- nyc geek
[01:56] <shriphani> Peter77, System -----> Preferences ------> Login
[01:56] <Peter77> I know
[01:56] <kristin> so i can make my osx connect to it
[01:56] <sebdah_> JuJuBee: 1) LDAP 2) NIS
[01:56] <shriphani> if i got that right applaud me
[01:56] <kristin> and share files from my ubuntu box to my macbook
[01:56] <Peter77> I've installed a theme but I want to edit the background in grub to remove a word or two from it
[01:56] <kristin> :P
[01:56] <Peter77> grub = gimp
[01:57] <Mistic_Warrior> yop yop
[01:57] <JuJuBee> sebdah_ : so LDAP is better, but NIS easier?  Which would you use in small network <20 users/workstations (just my classroom)/
[01:57] <kristin> when i try to connect i get some error -43
[01:57] <shriphani> Peter77, most themes are in ~/.themes
[01:57] <Chapayev> sray - any ideas for me on the ndiswrapper thng?
[01:57] <Peter77> they arn't gdk themes
[01:57] <Peter77> they are metacity themes
[01:58] <sebdah_> JuJuBee: I would start off with NIS, it's not the most secure thing in the world, but it works. For such a small environment it's a quite good solution
[01:58] <sebdah_> JuJuBee: When you get better and, maybe the system larger, then LDAP might be what you need
[01:58] <bartist> hi all
[01:58] <bartist> i can not login in kde
[01:58] <Mistic_Warrior> I have a little problem with beryl on my kubuntu... it works, but it is not run as default when kde boots. I need to say "use beryl interface" or something like that... does anyone know how to set Beryl as default ?
[01:58] <JuJuBee> sebdah_ : can you give me some direction as to good how-to on NIS?

[02:01] <bartist> it can not created it?
[02:01] <Peter77> the gdk folder is /usr/share/gdm/themes

[02:01] <Mistic_Warrior> I have a little problem with beryl on my kubuntu... it works, but it is not run as default when kde boots. I need to say "use beryl interface" or something like that... does anyone know how to set Beryl as default ?
