[02:47] <stefg> hopper: hmmm, don't know... sshfs is natively supported by nautilus.
[02:47] <zcutlip|laptop> anybody have suggestions for troubleshooting automounting of usb drives?
[02:48] <zcutlip|laptop> odysseus: fell free to just ask
[02:48] <mh_le> okay
[02:48] <Odysseus> I'm running the dreaded ATI (unfortunatly), I have about 20 desktops that I want Ubuntu installed onto, all with ATI X800 cards in them
[02:48] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: okay cool
[02:48] <afeldman> where can i put my ubuntu files?
[02:48] <albert> kernel (hd0,6)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7   this is my grub entry for ubuntu. i don't know what to add for normal / failsafe boot. can anybody help me? google didn't help me very much
[02:48] <D4N`> you tell me
[02:48] <afeldman> i made the files myself.
[02:48] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: g/l
[02:48] <bob_> hei
[02:48] <shroomsky> hello
[02:49] <Odysseus> What is the best solution that people have found to use Ubuntu on Desktops with ATI cards
[02:49] <shroomsky> how do i detect the type of motherboard i have through linux?
[02:49] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: g/l?
[02:49] <spikeb> to not use an ATI card
[02:49] <spikeb> heh
[02:49] <shroomsky> w/o disassembling my pc
[02:49] <stefg> hopper: either use the 'connection to server' applet or add a link like ssh://<machine>/<directory>/<subdir> to you desktop e.g.
[02:49] <Odysseus> ha, I know that
[02:49] <varka> shroomsky: lshw, hwinfo
[02:49] <spikeb> hehe
[02:49] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: "g/l" == "good luck"
[02:49] <Odysseus> ah
[02:49] <shroomsky> thanks
[02:50] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: thanks... I have one more question, does ubuntu server come with X?
[02:50] <spikeb> Odysseus: i find that if the open source driver supports the card, using that is the least headache.
[02:50] <bob_> how are you
[02:50] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: doesn't install X out of box, but you can apt-get install anything
[02:50] <mjr> Odysseus, to just stick with the free driver
[02:50] <Odysseus> spikeb: do you mean the one avalible from ATI it self?
[02:50] <varka> shroomsky: at least the modelstring has to be present in your BIOS as that is what those programs will read, if not ... disassemble :)
[02:50] <ghalib> how come ubuntu 7.10 releases
[02:50] <stefg> !gutsy
[02:50] <spikeb> Odysseus: no, the default driver included with X.
[02:50] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10). See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000276.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule Support in #ubuntu+1
[02:50] <varka> ghalib: its prealpha
[02:50] <mjr> Odysseus, and if your card isn't supported by a free driver, hit your head in the wall
[02:51] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: so apt-get install x.org and all is installed?
[02:51] <EnolaGay> hi, has anyone experiences with apport-gtk? Does it work for him? I have several crashes but never got a gui message.
[02:51] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: not sure.... you'll probably need a bit more than that
[02:51] <stefg> EnolaGay: known issue
[02:51] <robdeman> can anybody give me a sources.lst that will allow me to install the ubuntu-multimedia-gnome package??
[02:51] <Odysseus> spikeb: I've got problems with the driver, I need to get at least a 1280 x 1024 resolution for the desktop
[02:51] <dlreynolds> Anyone know how I can tell which wireless driver I am using?
[02:51] <CarinArr> !medibuntu
[02:51] <stefg> !easysource | robdeman
[02:51] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/
[02:51] <ubotu> robdeman: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[02:52] <spikeb> Odysseus: then use the restricted drivers manager to install/manage ATI's driver.
[02:52] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: someone mentioned earlier a guide for running the server install with a gui.  not sure which package/packages you need to get a minimal gui
[02:52] <CarinArr> !medibuntu | robdeman
[02:52] <ubotu> robdeman: please see above
[02:52] <EnolaGay> stefg: So it is a bug? Is there already a bug report? If yes, could you post the link? Is it only a Feisty problem or in edgy too?
[02:52] <stefg> EnolaGay: Launchpad is full of them
[02:52] <Odysseus> spikeb:ok so the restricted driver is the one that comes from ATI?
[02:52] <ghalib> i want to run mp3 other audio formats that support in windows in ubuntu
[02:52] <ghalib> help
[02:52] <CheshireViking> robdeman, http://seveas.imbrandon.com/dists/feisty-seveas/all/
[02:52] <sIMAUm> hey
[02:52] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: ah okay
[02:52] <doddo> hey! Does someone know if its dangerous or wrong to swap on an image file???????
[02:52] <spikeb> Odysseus: yes. but ubuntu has an application that will manage that, no need to mess with ATI's website or anything.
[02:53] <Odysseus> spikeb: oh great, what application is it?
[02:53] <EnolaGay> stefg: if you search for apport-gtk you got nearly every bug posted through apport
[02:53] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: maybe ask google "ubuntu server gui"?  also check the wiki, and possibly howtoforge
[02:53] <spikeb> Odysseus: in system->administration, it's called Restricted Drivers Manager
[02:53] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: will du
[02:53] <mh_le> do even
[02:53] <CheshireViking> robdeman, but see the comment about reading the frontpage and getting the gpg key to authenticate them
[02:53] <EnolaGay> stefg: with gtk in name or text of course :)
[02:53] <Odysseus> What I'm looking at doing with the installs is wrapping it into a LiveCD with the correct driver so that I can install them directly all at the same time
[02:53] <CarinArr> i might go to focus and buy fence posts
[02:53] <varka> ghalib: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/musicvideophotos/C/codecs.html
[02:53] <CarinArr> er lol.. wrong window
[02:54] <spikeb> hrm
[02:54] <Toma-> Can someone point me to a good guide for running apps from a chroot environment without disrupting the chroot users/passwd and such?
[02:54] <ghalib> can we run dvd on ubuntu?
[02:54] <Odysseus> So my next question is: Is it possible to modify the LiveCD so that it includes the restricted driver?

[02:54] <l3on> hi world!
[02:55] <spikeb> hmm
[02:55] <stefg> l3on: syntax error in line #1
[02:55] <spikeb> Odysseus: out of my league, although i know the alternative installer has some OEM options.
[02:55] <zcutlip|laptop> hi, all.. i'm really scratching my head trying to figure out why usb drives won't mount automatically.  anybody have troubleshooting advice?
[02:55] <CarinArr> stefg?
[02:55] <l3on> stefg: what kind of program do you try to run ?
[02:56] <Odysseus> I was going to go with SlaX but I need packages that come with Ubuntu already installed
[02:56] <CactusWiZaRd> how  can i remove spellcheck from tomboy?
[02:56] <stefg> CarinArr, l3on that's *hello world* :-)
[02:56] <Odysseus> that and Ubuntu is just a whole heap darn cooler
[02:56] <l3on> stefg: AHAHAHAHHA
[02:56] <Odysseus> I also want to do a bit of XGL or Beryl on it too
[02:57] <Neil-> Hey, is tehre way to make ubuntu use a clipboard like windows? ATM if I copy some text, then close the source, the paste is empty
[02:57] <Neil-> On windows, it goes into a seperate clipboard, so you can copy the item even if you close where its coming from
[02:57] <EnolaGay> stefg: Is there a workaround?
[02:57] <spikeb> Odysseus: see if anything here will help you figure something out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[02:57] <Odysseus> Spikeb: Thanks for the info, at least I should be able to get the thing running properly now
[02:57] <unimatrix9> hello there
[02:57] <stefg> EnolaGay: none that i know of, except enetring the bug you want to report manually
[02:57] <herbal> Neil-, i think there is a kde app that does that
[02:58] <EnolaGay> stefg: thx
[02:58] <Odysseus> DAMN YOU ATI!
[02:58] <unimatrix9> how can i get nm-applet to load without asking for my keyring password all the time?
[02:58] <herbal> Odysseus, get a nvidia card...they show us love
[02:58] <Neil-> herbal: Seems weird its not done by default?
[02:58] <EnolaGay> cu all
[02:58] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: there's a pam module
[02:58] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: hang on a sec...
[02:58] <unimatrix9> ok
[02:59] <Odysseus> herbal: Yeah, if I had a spare 2,400 bucks to upgrade 20 Pc's I'd do it
[02:59] <herbal> ouch
[02:59] <Odysseus> Yep
[02:59] <Odysseus> anyhow, thats for the help you guys
[02:59] <Odysseus> cheers
[02:59] <Creto> Is there an easy way to locate drivers I am using in the terminal?
[03:00] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: package is libpam-keyring
[03:00] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: are you familiar with pam?
[03:00] <luciano> any good video converters for ubuntu, specifically to convert flv files for use in the psp?
[03:00] <unimatrix9> no, not really, should i have choosen something else at install , to avoid this in the future?
[03:00] <Creto> luciano: mencoder or vlc work well
[03:01] <fissUradO> aaa
[03:01] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: no, it's not installed by default.
[03:01] <Neil-> also guys, i cant play the .asx files on http://news.bbc.co.uk/ , but can in windows
[03:01] <luciano> but you need to come up with all the code and the psp is quite annoying to get right
[03:01] <Neil-> it crashes vlc and gxine - whats wrong?
[03:01] <dromer> stefg: hmm, cp-ing ~200gb takes quite a while :#
[03:02] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: i believe you just need to install libpam-keyring, and it will cause your login password to also unlock your keyring
[03:02] <unimatrix9> the network applet alway will ask, or is there an other option to setup the network?
[03:02] <luciano> vlc to convert?
[03:02] <stefg> dromer: i know... over usb it might taker like 2 haours or so
[03:02] <Neil-> .asx files and other media are the onyl reason I go back into windows now, anyone able to help me get them working in ubuntu?
[03:02] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: assuming your keyring is the same password as your login, i believe
[03:02] <unimatrix9> if i delete the keyring  can i set it up again?
[03:02] <Creto> luciano: Yea, as far as I know
[03:02] <`AnthraX> hello
[03:02] <`AnthraX> im getting an error
[03:02] <`AnthraX> :/
[03:03] <`AnthraX> E: The package secondlife-install needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:03] <unimatrix9> key ring was a different , from root password
[03:03] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: i would think so, though I haven't done it myself.
[03:03] <`AnthraX> what is that?
[03:03] <unimatrix9> ok, i will give it a try
[03:03] <`AnthraX> unimatrix9
[03:03] <unimatrix9> yes?
[03:03] <Creto> Is there an easy way to locate drivers I am using in the terminal?
[03:03] <zcutlip|laptop> unmatrix9: keyring is a per-user thing
[03:03] <`AnthraX> can you explain me that :?
[03:03] <`AnthraX> unimatrix9 E: The package secondlife-install needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:03] <NoNick> anyone seen microsoft's Live Search site recently? is it my imagination or is there a striking resemblance to something else?
[03:03] <unimatrix9> well, the keyring ( of the nm-applet ) keeps asking for the password at bootup
[03:03] <luciano> gonna have a look thanks.
[03:04] <`AnthraX> and i can't download nothing
[03:04] <herbal> NoNick, lmao yea

[03:04] <unimatrix9> yes
[03:04] <bhavik> Hello
[03:04] <unimatrix9> ok, i will go delete the keyring and see what happens
[03:04] <unimatrix9> see you in a minute or so...
[03:05] <unimatrix9> later!
[03:05] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: right.. so if you had mutliple users, they each would get their own keyring.  anyway, i think you need to sync your keyring password and your user password.  and install libpam-keyring
[03:05] <Badzo> Hello
[03:05] <unimatrix9> ok
[03:05] <bhavik> I added some sudo code from the unofficial wiki thinking it would make my mouse scroll clicking work instead when I scroll my mouse it goes forward and backwards when scrolling
[03:05] <tashe> how can i ask Ubotu questions about ubuntu?
[03:05] <dromer> stefg: yeah I probably should've just powered down and put it in the ide .. ah well ..
[03:06] <shroomsky> my motherboard is a apollo pro133, and it can support pc133/100 SDRAM
[03:06] <tashe> how can i ask Ubotu questions about ubuntu?
[03:06] <sascham83> tashe: you type a "!" and the word after it
[03:06] <shroomsky> i bought a new pc133/100 sdram but my board cant read it, i had it memory tested prior to installation
[03:06] <tashe> !dc++
[03:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dc++ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:06] <CheshireViking> tashe, use this website, you can put in applications etc & if ubuto knows anything about them, it'll give you a link to use http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:06] <shroomsky> is there any way at all for my board to detect the extra RAM?
[03:07] <shroomsky> system monitor reads RAM = 123.2 MB
[03:07] <stefg> dromer: so depending on how you want to archive your current system partition you could educate yourself by reading !backup
[03:07] <bhavik> I added some sudo code from the unofficial wiki thinking it would make my mouse scroll clicking work instead when I scroll my mouse it goes forward and backwards when scrolling, How do I undo this?
[03:07] <dromer> hmm
[03:07] <tashe> CheshireViking: HE odesnt know anything about DC++
[03:07] <dromer> !backup

[03:07] <tashe> do you know how to install it
[03:07] <SlimeyPete> shroomsky: check the manual. Some older boards require the RAM to be installed in a specific order (eg up to 2x128MB in first tow slots, 64MB in third, that sort of thing)
[03:08] <`AnthraX> so

[03:09] <zcutlip|laptop> anybody have suggestions for troubleshooting automounting of usb drives?
[03:09] <unimatrix9> hello i am back
[03:10] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: any luck?
[03:10] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop : whats wrong?
[03:10] <zoneMAVERICK> hi guys :)
[03:10] <unimatrix9> nm-applet when it asks for store , just choose ignore, and yes i could delete it and setup agian
[03:10] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: thumbdrives not mounting autmoatically like they should
[03:11] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop : is it turned on in System>>Preferences>>Removable media?
[03:11] <stefg> shroomsky: if the ram is recognized by the BIOS, but not by the kernel you can add a 'mem=xxx' parameter to force recognition of the full ram-capacity
[03:11] <zcutlip|laptop> indeed.
[03:11] <zoneMAVERICK> wen any of you guys have time, id like to ask some questions please
[03:11] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_ ^
[03:11] <unimatrix9> i will reboot again and see if all is well now.. reboot, sounds like windows eh?
[03:11] <unimatrix9> :P
[03:11] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: standby while i think
[03:11] <unimatrix9> logout will do i guess
[03:11] <unimatrix9> :)
[03:11] <gnomefreak> zoneMAVERICK: just ask if anyone knows they will answer
[03:11] <zcutlip|laptop> unimiatrix9: okay.  i know in order to unlock the keyring automatically, at login you need libpam-keyring
[03:12] <CheshireViking_> tashe, i've no idea then, only thing i can see is for installing it on Edgy
[03:12] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: troubleshooting i have tried:
[03:12] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_:  run gnome-volume-manager with daemon=no to see output
[03:12] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop : have you tried package usbmount?
[03:12] <zoneMAVERICK> basically, i just installed ubuntu, its running on my monitor at 640 x 800 resolution
[03:12] <zoneMAVERICK> and it wont let me change it
[03:12] <tashe> ok
[03:13] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: usbmount?  hmmm... is this installed by default?
[03:13] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop : no
[03:13] <johns^> zoneMAVERICK: what kind of graphics card
[03:13] <Creto> How can I find the location of a driver file using the terminal?

[03:14] <shane_> Anyone know to get my WINE fullscreen?
[03:14] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: i know gnome-volume-manager is supposed to handle this....and i'm  just now sure how to get at any error messages which (i assuem) are being genrated
[03:14] <gnomefreak> zoneMAVERICK: i would look up monitor specs to find out what the refresh rates are and change them in xorg.config and add the monitor resolutions to that same file
[03:14] <gnomefreak> oh well
[03:15] <SiebaZ> hi
[03:15] <dyrne> hate it when they do that :)
[03:15] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_:  i've tried creating a new user to see if something in the profile is borked
[03:15] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: no luck there either
[03:15] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: hmm....
[03:15] <SiebaZ> i have a prob with my direct rendering on my my radeon 9200se -.-
[03:15] <SiebaZ> can some1 help me
[03:15] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: no i haven't looked at usbmount, but i can't imagine a non-default package is required.
[03:16] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: the drive shows up in nautilus.. when i double-click it, it mounts, but not until i double click it
[03:16] <bhavik> I added some sudo code from the unofficial wiki thinking it would make my mouse scroll clicking work instead when I scroll my mouse it goes forward and backwards when scrolling, How do I undo this?
[03:17] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: Check the preferences again please
[03:17] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: Seems like its not automount
[03:17] <kdeFREAK> bhavik uninstall ?
[03:17] <larsemil> is there no .deb for amsn 0.97? cant find it. would be good with debs for tls tlc and tk aswell..
[03:18] <zcutlip|laptop> oaky... unfortunately, i'm not at the machine now.. it's at home. i can check again then.  but i have checked several times.  i've also checked in gconf-editor.  also, i've tried using a fresh user
[03:18] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: ^
[03:18] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: roger
[03:19] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: and when i run gnome-volume-manager from the command line with daemon=no, i see output when i plug in the device, but nothing interesting/useful
[03:19] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: maybe there's a way to crank up verbosity?
[03:19] <bhavik> how would I uninstall this: sudo apt-get install imwheel
[03:19] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: --verbose
[03:19] <zoneMAVERICK> wen i go to change the screen resolution, only one option appears (640x800). I am very very new to ubuntu, so could suomeone please explain how i would change the resolution

[03:20] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: ah ..that's useful to know.  not in the --help
[03:20] <unimatrix9> still having the same problem , keyring keeps asking for password ( nm-aplet)
[03:20] <johns^> zoneMAVERICK: answer all the questions and restart gdm (or reboot)
[03:21] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: did you install libpam-keyring?
[03:21] <unimatrix9> not yet, i will do that now
[03:21] <stefg> blackjackel: this would be better asked in #vmware, and probably your .vmx file is wrong
[03:21] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: okay
[03:21] <unimatrix9> apt-get install libpam-keyring?
[03:22] <zoneMAVERICK> okay johns ive typed that, and a blue box has appeared, what now?
[03:22] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: jsut to be clear you need 3 things:  1. install libpam-keyring (yes)
[03:22] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: 2. (i think) your login password and keyring password should be the same
[03:22] <matterteck> test
[03:22] <matterteck> trying out irssi on screen
[03:22] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: and 3. your wireless key must be in the keyring (if you deleted the keyring, you'll need to re-add that)
[03:23] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: it was a while ago that i installed libpam-keyring, but i believe i didn't have to do any additional configuration after installing it.
[03:24] <unimatrix9> will it just ask for the keyword agian and be ok?
[03:24] <fong_> !kiba-dock
[03:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba-dock - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:24] <unimatrix9> installed the libpam just now..
[03:24] <zoneMAVERICK> i am at the 3rd part of the xserver configuration
[03:25] <stefg> !gnome-dock
[03:25] <ubotu> gnome-dock is a MacOS X -like dock for the gnome desktop, see www.gnome-dock.org
[03:25] <zoneMAVERICK> it tells me to specify somehting, but gives me no place to type anything
[03:25] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: it appears it was wrong-- there is a bit of additional config you have to do.

[03:26] <zoneMAVERICK> im still having trouble with the screen resolution issue
[03:26] <Dimensions> hi ... i am installing mysql php5 etc on ubuntu got this error ... after installed and did sudo mysql ... ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[03:27] <Dimensions> can some one tell me what is this error about
[03:27] <CactusWiZaRd> what desktop manager (or whatever) is installed to ubuntu as default?
[03:27] <CactusWiZaRd> metacity?
[03:27] <matterteck> gnome right?
[03:27] <stefg> !gnome
[03:27] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[03:27] <adam_> Desktop manager?
[03:27] <adam_> What do you mean?
[03:27] <bernier> Hi, I know i have 1168,8mb of unused space on my disk. Is there a way I can create  a swap file with it?
[03:27] <LadyNikon> anyone try mythubuntu yet?
[03:28] <VSpike> Sounds like a conflation of two ideas: desktop environment and window manager, which are Gnome and Metacity respectively
[03:28] <stefg> bernier: you could, but why should you want that?
[03:28] <CactusWiZaRd> adam_: well with what name you call metacity?
[03:28] <juice`> is there any way to force some specific resolution? i have all resolutions in xorg.conf from 16001200 to lowest, and still i can only choose from 720x480 and 640x480. This is TV and it's the only output connected to this computer. using fglrx drivers it was ok (but the movies were pixelized), when i switched back to ati, it's like this
[03:28] <adam_> window manager, exactly
[03:28] <LadyNikon> CactusWiZaRd: gnome is.
[03:28] <VSpike> CactusWiZaRd: window manager
[03:28] <CactusWiZaRd> oh
[03:28] <bernier> stefg I don't have enough
[03:28] <smacky> gm what is the command to change the password
[03:29] <dyrne> juice`: whats the native res of the tv?
[03:29] <LadyNikon> passwd for root smacky
[03:29] <CactusWiZaRd> but if i want to install new theme to gnome, so what category should i choose from gnome-look.org?
[03:29] <smacky> thank you
[03:29] <LadyNikon> if its for a another user i believe its passwd <user?
[03:29] <juice`> dyrne: i would say 720x480 probably, but it was working in much higher resolutions in windows
[03:29] <LadyNikon> if its for a another user i believe its passwd <user>
[03:29] <juice`> dyrne: and in ubuntu with fglrx drivers
[03:30] <stefg> bernier: if you need it for hibernation... that won't work. generally think about resizing your swap-space if you run into that issue. swapfiles are quite inefficient compared to swap-partitions
[03:30] <aa_> hi is there anything official for creating a custom livecd/boot image?
[03:30] <aa_> even better a custom installer
[03:30] <juice`> dyrne: any idea how to force higher resolution? now it says i use 'ati' drivers
[03:31] <Toma-> aa_: no :<
[03:31] <aa_> yikes
[03:31] <dromer> !automate
[03:31] <juice`> dyrne: no idea whats the diffrence between ati and fglrx though

[03:31] <zoneMAVERICK> My Monitor resolution is 1290x768 @ 6-hz, but ubuntu will only let my select 640x800 @ 50hz
[03:31] <aa_> Toma-: I found this thing UCK
[03:31] <Toma-> aa_: at this very moment tho, im following this guide and its working great. http://www.atworkonline.it/~bibe/ubuntu/custom-livecd.htm
[03:31] <robdeman> whaah I spent 3 mor ehours.. installe dall restricted codec packages and what not.. Totem refuses to play dvds still...
[03:32] <bernier> stefg i Have 2gb Ram and only 800mb swap ...
[03:32] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: thx for the help
[03:32] <aa_> Toma-: thanks
[03:32] <zoneMAVERICK> My Monitor resolution is 1290x768 @ 6-hz, but ubuntu will only let my select 640x800 @ 50hz. Could anyone please help me with this problem, but be quite specific with things, because i am very new to the Ubuntu OS
[03:32] <Toma-> aa_: no worries
[03:32] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: peace man
[03:32] <juice`> is there any way fo FORCE some screen resolution ?
[03:32] <juice`> fo=to
[03:32] <matterteck> people with monitor trouble: have you guys set up the HorizSync and VertRefresh settings in your xorg.conf
[03:33] <matterteck> that's what i had to do
[03:33] <Toma-> juice`: not really
[03:33] <stefg> bernier: as i said... for hibernation you need to have a swap-partition. and with 2GB there's no need to have more swap for normal operation (generally 256 MB is said to be enough)
[03:33] <aa_> Toma-: also, can you use that livcd to isntall from?
[03:33] <juice`> Toma-: what options do i have if i want to change it then
[03:33] <Toma-> juice`: try running xrandr to see if you can change the res with that
[03:33] <Toma-> aa_: yep
[03:33] <bernier> stefg what do you mean by "hibernation"
[03:34] <zoneMAVERICK> My Monitor resolution is 1280x768 @ 6-hz, but ubuntu will only let my select 640x800 @ 50hz. Could anyone please help me with this problem, but be quite specific with things, because i am very new to the Ubuntu OS
[03:34] <stefg> bernier: putting a laptop to deep sleep
[03:34] <Toma-> aa_: as long as you update the package manifest (in the guide)
[03:34] <bernier> stefg im not on a laptop
[03:34] <bernier> and I donN't need hibernation
[03:34] <stefg> bernier: then just don't worry, you'll be fine
[03:34] <aa_> Toma-: cool, great guide thanks
[03:34] <juice`> Toma-: no, i have only listing of very low resolutions with randr
[03:35] <Toma-> aa_: no worries! i didnt write it :D
[03:35] <aa_> I would never have thought of chrooting in
[03:35] <bernier> stefg but i'd prefer aving exrta swao than unused space ...
[03:35] <Toma-> juice`: right. what monitor do you have?
[03:35] <juice`> Toma-: maybe i could copy the Monitor section from xorg.conf that lets me change more resolutions?
[03:35] <juice`> only hdtv connected to this computer
[03:35] <Toma-> juice`: sounds good. just make sure you make a backup
[03:36] <juice`> the problem is that this xorg.conf was also using another driver
[03:36] <juice`> so i have no idea will it work, but ok
[03:36] <stefg> bernier: in these dimensions the swap-file will be unused space anyway... so better have free space for the filesystem to work with than a big useless swapfile
[03:36] <zoneMAVERICK> My Monitor resolution is 1280x768 @ 60-hz, but ubuntu will only let my select 640x800 @ 50hz. Could anyone please help me with this problem, but be quite specific with things, because i am very new to the Ubuntu OS

[03:36] <ubotu> zoneMAVERICK: please see above
[03:37] <zoneMAVERICK> ubotu i did that before
[03:37] <yobrien> haha
[03:37] <zoneMAVERICK> a black screen appeared that looked like it was doing something
[03:37] <zoneMAVERICK> then it froze
[03:37] <yobrien> ubotu is a bot....
[03:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot.... - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:37] <zoneMAVERICK> i see
[03:38] <yobrien> zoneMAVERICK:  so you done what it said at that link?
[03:38] <juice`> what could that mean "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: xserver-xorg is not installed"
[03:38] <juice`> and xserver-xorg is already the newest version.
[03:39] <Neil-> im having big problems with media on ubuntu, i cant play .asx files from news.bbc.co.uk, any ideas?
[03:39] <juice`> that's dpkg talking
[03:39] <Neil-> oits the only thing i swap back to windows for, bar games
[03:39] <zoneMAVERICK> yes i have
[03:39] <adam_> the graphic card and the monitor info, need context for solution....
[03:39] <bernier> stefg thanks
[03:39] <osfameron> Neil-: I often find media works better on linux than windows...
[03:39] <osfameron> though not always
[03:39] <stefg> juice`: that could mean your apt-database is broken (ugly)... does dpkg-configure -a give errors?
[03:40] <juice`> stefg: i just notice, it's /var/lib/dpkg/available, i see one big @@@@@@ line instead of contents
[03:40] <Neil-> osfameron: any idea how to make .asx files play?
[03:40] <stefg> juice`: uhoh.....
[03:40] <Neil-> they point to a couple of wmvs, which are rtsp:// addresses
[03:40] <juice`> that happens when something is writing to disk and loose power at the same time
[03:40] <Neil-> dont nknow what that means though
[03:40] <osfameron> Neil-: mplayer?
[03:40] <haptiK> how do i obtain more than two desktops in ubuntu???
[03:41] <juice`> any way to remake 'available' file ?
[03:41] <yobrien> zoneMAVERICK:  grep VertRefresh /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... type that in a terminal .... does it come back with any output?
[03:41] <Neil-> osfameron: Its more than that I think, vlc, gxine and movie player all crash
[03:41] <osfameron> Neil-: or maybe vlc - dunno what you're using right now
[03:41] <matterteck> Neil-: try avifile
[03:41] <Neil-> will another player help?
[03:41] <Neil-> it seems like a codec issue
[03:41] <matterteck><EMAIL_ADDRESS>has joined #ubuntu
[03:41] <matterteck> 08:41 < Neil-> osfameron: Its more than that I think, vlc, gxine and movie player all crash
[03:41] <Neil-> ive tried 4 players as it is
[03:41] <osfameron> Neil-: yeah, that's the downside of linux multimedia, all the applications are buggy, crashy, piles of unprintable rubbish ;-)
[03:41] <matterteck> sorry
[03:41] <Neil-> lol
[03:42] <yobrien> osfameron: mplayer?
[03:42] <nomad111> does anyone know the command for showing the desktop
[03:42] <nomad111> i want to make a launcher out of it
[03:42] <osfameron> Neil-: a quick google for "linux asx" suggests ffmpeg might be able to do it.  I've never really done much with streaming - if it works, great, otherwise I usually just give up and cry.
[03:43] <osfameron> yobrien: er?
[03:43] <yobrien> osfameron: i dont think you could call mplayer rubbish ... best video player ever
[03:43] <Neil-> osfameron: ta
[03:44] <perpetual> do re mi fa so la ti do
[03:44] <osfameron> yobrien: well, I have to admit I've not used it since I first installed ubuntu with Hoary.  But back then it would crash consistently, though to be fair, it would only lock my machine up one in three times.
[03:44] <yobrien> haha
[03:44] <nomad111> anyone??
[03:44] <adam_> here!!
[03:44] <perpetual> nomad111, hi
[03:44] <nomad111> hey
[03:45] <nomad111> perpetual: do u know the show desktop command by any chance
[03:45] <perpetual> nomad111, what do you mean?
[03:45] <adam_> ?show desktop command?
[03:45] <nuu> juice`: sudo dpkg --clear-avail
[03:45] <nomad111> there has to be a command that will minimise all windows
[03:45] <nuu> then a sudo apt-get update should help
[03:45] <nomad111> i used to know now i cant
[03:46] <dyrne> well in xfce i use alt-ctrl-d not sure if thats standard
[03:46] <nomad111> do u know where keyboard shortcuts are kept
[03:46] <nomad111> in which file...
[03:46] <nomad111> coz its in there
[03:46] <nomad111> associated with ctrl-alt-del
[03:46] <nomad111> sorry ctrl-alt-D
[03:46] <perpetual> nomad111, there is a button in gnome you can add to the panel with that name
[03:46] <nomad111> ye i know that one
[03:46] <nomad111> but im using avant window navigator
[03:47] <nomad111> i dont have the bottom panel
[03:47] <nomad111> i want to add a launcher to the awn bar that will trigger the show desktop command
[03:47] <nomad111> so ye
[03:47] <nomad111> i just dont know the file where the shortcuts are kept
[03:47] <perpetual> nomad111, don't know, but surely this show desktop button uses some command internally
[03:47] <yobrien> nomad111: do you want to bind a keyboard key to a command?
[03:48] <nomad111> nope
[03:48] <nomad111> i want to create an icon that is associated with the show desktop command
[03:48] <nomad111> similar to the one in the panel
[03:48] <nomad111> that u can add
[03:48] <nomad111> however i need to know where all the bindings are kept
[03:48] <yobrien> add to what
[03:48] <nomad111> which file
[03:49] <perpetual> nomad111, if you use awn it stands to reason you use beryl, or compiz, right?
[03:49] <nomad111> yep
[03:49] <afd__> hi guys! I'm using kubuntu and all the gtk open file dialogs are 1.) very small windows (although can be resized) 2.) it hides everything except the media and home folder in the root.
[03:49] <yobrien> you can do keybinding commands with metacity dont know about beryl
[03:49] <perpetual> nomad111, you can set a mouse gesture to do what you want, moving it to the lower right corner for instance
[03:49] <afd__> Any solutions (especially for 2.)
[03:49] <Neil-> osfameron: ffmpeg is an encoder/decoder? :/
[03:50] <osfameron> Neil-: yes.  But it also does streaming
[03:50] <Neil-> back in a sec
[03:50] <perpetual> nomad111, this you can set in beryl-settings
[03:50] <nomad111> true
[03:50] <osfameron> Neil-: as I say, I haven't used it for strea... oh, you're actually *gone* rather than just afk. bah

[03:52] <gatorworks> does anyone know a way to change the end of line style on an entire directory of files?
[03:52] <unimatrix9> i have the pam module installed, still not work , maybe the wrong one?
[03:52] <perpetual> Dexter, what did you already try?
[03:52] <unimatrix9> Stonekeper, you have an new tip?
[03:52] <yobrien> gatorworks: what do you mean
[03:53] <gatorworks> change from windows style to unix etc
[03:53] <Dexter> perpetual: I've tried using wvdial instead of gnome-ppp, turning carrier-detection off and playing with gnome-pp options
[03:53] <perpetual> Dexter, have you looked deeper already?
[03:53] <Dexter> perpetual: it actually connects but randomly stops working (no activity, but still connected)
[03:53] <yobrien> gatorworks: fromdos * ?
[03:54] <perpetual> Dexter, are you sure the serial port is working?
[03:54] <backfisch> hello ?
[03:54] <FreedomFighter> Rumor has it hello is there a security forum of ubuntu, backfisch
[03:54] <Dexter> perpetual: Well yes, it is perfectly working on Windows XP (I'm on XP now) and worked great on Edgy
[03:54] <backfisch> bloody noob here
[03:55] <whatspy> hi. I'm trying to CRON a little python maintenance script, and I can tell for sure the file was executed, but it doesn't seem like it was executed completely! which *does* work when I execute it manually! how do we debug that ?
[03:55] <gatorworks> so that diff will see changes instead of just reporting the whole file as changed
[03:55] <Dexter> perpetual: it disconnects often just on Feisty
[03:55] <perpetual> Dexter, I meant in linux. Module loaded, does it show up in dmesg, etc.
[03:55] <Dexter> perpetual: yes, but wait i'll double check
[03:55] <backfisch> has somebody a bit time for a special secret question ?
[03:55] <makki> i install wine but cant find it
[03:56] <yobrien> gatorworks: you can tell diff to ignore whitespace
[03:56] <gatorworks> ok
[03:56] <yobrien> gatorworks:  fromdos file will convert file from CRLF to LF
[03:56] <gatorworks> let me try that....
[03:56] <kliklik> I have several files in a directory with strange permissions and large, numeric user:group combo, and I cannot do anything to them. any suggestions? this is the directory listing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22295/
[03:56] <gatorworks> ok cool
[03:56] <kunhantan> good day. im having a hard time trying to input japanese in openoffice. i have scim and skim working in all others applications, open office is capable of handling japanes fonts and even japanese text (up to down, nonseparable kana etc). I can input text by clicking insert >special character, but thats one by one. I use Kubuntu. anyone can help?
[03:57] <backfisch>
[03:57] <nuu> kunhantan: perhaps you may want to ask in a japanese channel like #ubuntu-jp about that
[03:57] <makki> i install wine but cant find it please help

[03:59] <perpetual> Dexter, that looks good
[03:59] <perpetual> Dexter,  is it an external serial modem?
[03:59] <kristjan_> any tips on how I'm supposed to integrate kde apps into gnome? e.g. konversation seems to use plastic colors and huge fonts (probably pt10)
[04:00] <Dexter> Perpetual: yes it is. Us Robotics Sportster Flash
[04:00] <nuu> Bogaurd: an extended partition generally holds more partitions beneath it. if you see a partition below it the same size as the extended partition, then don't worry about it
[04:00] <perpetual> Dexter, ok, have you tried using it with minicom?
[04:00] <Bogaurd> nuu: thanks :)
[04:02] <Bogaurd> is there an ubuntu package for jffs2?
[04:02] <Dexter> Perpetual: no (I dont' know if I already told you, but modem works, just stops sending/receiving packets VERY often)
[04:02] <perpetual> Dexter, as a way to debug, of course
[04:02] <Dexter> Perpetual: and doesn't disconnect
[04:02] <stefg> Bogaurd: an extended partion is a container which holds 'logical' partitons. so it's never mounted anywhere, just the logical partitions inside
[04:02] <Dexter> Perpetual: ah, is there any Guide or wiki ? ... googling for it
[04:02] <perpetual> Dexter, well, you need to find out at what level things go wrong
[04:03] <CactusWiZaRd> how can i use ntfs-3g to get pics etc. stuff to my remote hard drive?
[04:03] <bullgard4> Ubuntu 7.04 provides several documents in directories which are called DocBook. What tool provides Ubuntu to read such DocBooks?
[04:03] <perpetual> Dexter, might be at OSI level 1

[04:06] <MrMiste1> i hope it's a success
[04:06] <solowlr> any idea how I can install libcrypto on 7.04 (openssl cryptographic library)?
[04:06] <digital_k> i think so!
[04:06] <murrayc> bullgard4: The help browser should already know about all the documents (so you can search for them in yelp). But you can also drag-and-drop documents in to the yelp window.
[04:06] <solowlr> i tried apt-get install libcrypto but no package found
[04:07] <dr_willis> !find  libcrypto
[04:07] <ubotu> Found: libcrypto++-dev, libcrypto++-doc, libcrypto++-utils, libcrypto++5.2c2a, libcryptokit-ocaml (and 1 others)
[04:07] <dr_willis> solowlr,  use the correct package name.
[04:07] <POVaddct> !info openssl
[04:07] <ubotu> openssl: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary and related cryptographic tools. In component main, is optional. Version 0.9.8c-4build1 (feisty), package size 977 kB, installed size 2304 kB
[04:07] <blackjackel> I need help with uninstalling a package, I get "subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[04:07] <blackjackel> "
[04:08] <POVaddct> solowlr: the package is called openssl. if you are compiling something which needs openssl, you also need to install openssl-dev
[04:08] <solowlr> dr_willis: thanks!
[04:08] <kadakas> does ubuntu support TabletPC functionality out-of-the-box ?
[04:09] <solowlr> it's an HP print driver so I'm guessing I need the devel package
[04:09] <dr_willis> solowlr,  your logic is faulty. :) dev packages are for developing/programing stuff..
[04:09] <POVaddct> solowlr: why would a printer driver need openssl?
[04:10] <dr_willis> solowlr,  i agree with POVaddct  ...
[04:10] <solowlr> for the network I/O portion?
[04:10] <yobrien> !info povray
[04:10] <ubotu> povray: Persistence of vision raytracer (3D renderer). In component multiverse, is extra. Version 1:3.6.1-6 (feisty), package size 707 kB, installed size 1768 kB
[04:10] <POVaddct> solowlr: network i/o has to be done by the printer daemon, not by the driver itself
[04:11] <drowner> Hey guys
[04:11] <`AnthraX> i need some help please
[04:11] <`AnthraX> is one thing only
[04:11] <`AnthraX> please help me...
[04:11] <obsethryl> hey is Trevinho around please?
[04:11] <drowner> i appear to have some sort of *serious* problem, and its not to do with beryl, or nvidia drivers, or anything stupid.
[04:11] <drowner> its actually what appears to be virus-like activity.
[04:12] <makki_> where can i found wine after install?
[04:12] <Frogzoo> makki_: 'which wine' will say
[04:12] <yobrien> drowner: what like going on irc #ubuntu
[04:12] <orville> drowner: describe said problem
[04:12] <drowner> well man
[04:12] <drowner> its freaking weird
[04:12] <sparrw> where might i get the efivars kernel module?
[04:12] <drowner> i have an external USB hard drive
[04:13] <nemmy[] > Does anyone know if there's a freenode help channel?
[04:13] <makki_> i install it but i dont know where is it
[04:13] <rjohnson> Has anyone had any experience installing Visio with Wine?
[04:13] <orville> #freenode
[04:13] <perpetual> sparrw, what is that anyway?
[04:13] <nemmy[] > lol, tky
[04:13] <drowner> and, it seems to randomly make itself read-only. And, i only discovered this drama because I tried to do a 'find / file.etc'
[04:13] <sparrw> perpetual: adds /sys access to the EFI stuffs
[04:14] <perpetual> nemmy[] , well there seems to be #freenode

[04:14] <`AnthraX> who will help me with that?
[04:14] <orville> how would a virus make a drive read only?
[04:14] <`AnthraX> pf :(
[04:14] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  redownload the .deb and reinstall it.
[04:14] <drowner> and the terminal hung, repeating the same directory on this USB drive. So i went into that drive, and i can't delete anything. As soon as i try to delete the offending files, it makes the drive read-only
[04:14] <perpetual> sparrw, EFI is the BIOS in intel macs, right?
[04:14] <`AnthraX> how i do that dr_willis
[04:14] <`AnthraX> :/
[04:14] <sparrw> perpetual: yes
[04:14] <drowner> the number of files in that folder (which i have managed to get into the ./trash) is randomly changing
[04:14] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  how did you install secondlife the first time?
[04:14] <dr_willis> !info secondlife
[04:14] <ubotu> Package secondlife does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:14] <rjohnson> drowner: Have you been properly stopping the drive when removing it?
[04:14] <puh> has anyone an answer to the "can't access tty; job control turned off" problem on the LiveCD of Version 7.04??

[04:15] <drowner> describes the problem.
[04:15] <`AnthraX>  i want to uninstall it
[04:15] <`AnthraX> i dont need that..
[04:15] <drowner> rjohnson: yes. when i can.
[04:15] <orville> drowner: maybe you can't delete the files because they are already read-only
[04:15] <bur[n] er> ThePioneer: /usr/bin probably... just hit alt+f2 and type yakuake
[04:15] <ThePioneer> Thanks
[04:15] <rjohnson> I had some strange problems with a USB drive because I wasn't stopping it properly
[04:15] <`AnthraX> dr_willis:  can i uninstall it somehow?
[04:15] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  so you installed it from .deb and now want to uninstall it?
[04:15] <`AnthraX> yes
[04:15] <drowner> orville: i thought so too. But then  i remounted it, and it wasn't read-only.
[04:15] <wardyx> anyone using libnss-pgsql for their user authentication?
[04:15] <chariot_> When I log out of my session on my freshly installed Ubuntu desktop, the screen goes blank and I cannot see anything.  However, the system is working in the background as I can hear sounds.  What is the problem?
[04:16] <sharperguy> hmm, I didn't even know there was a deb for secondlife :/
[04:16] <dr_willis> should be able to use the force or other options to apt-get remove to make it do so.
[04:16] <dr_willis> sharperguy,  me either.
[04:16] <drowner> and then i did a sudo rm -rf..... and it didn't work! it BECAME read-only!
[04:16] <dyrne> chariot_: can you alt-ctrl-f2 and get to getty login?
[04:16] <`AnthraX> cause it doesn't lets me sudo
[04:16] <orville> drowner: sounds like a problem with the drive, not a virus.
[04:16] <`AnthraX> cause it doesn't lets me sudo
[04:16] <dr_willis> sharperguy,  i always install it as a user.
[04:16] <chariot_> dyrne, yes
[04:16] <`AnthraX> i can't sudo
[04:16] <sharperguy> just unzip the tarball they give you
[04:16] <`AnthraX> i searched on my sources.list dr_willis
[04:16] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  thats a different issue then. :)
[04:16] <Killox> Hi room!  I have a quesiton.  Every once in a while the sound will stop working on my Ubuntu (7.04) and in order to get it back, I normally have to restart the computer.  Is there a way to stop/start just the sound part of linux so it will save me from restarting?  It normally happens after I come out of suspend.
[04:16] <bur[n] er> `AnthraX: that's a rpoblem... boot into the "recovery mode" and restore your sudo access
[04:16] <chariot_> Linux neelkanth 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[04:17] <chariot_> That's what I'm running.
[04:17] <perpetual> chariot_, are you sure it is plugged in right?
[04:17] <chariot_> Ubuntu 7.04
[04:17] <yobrien> Killox: thats a common problem
[04:17] <`AnthraX> hm, if i say i don't know how?
[04:17] <chariot_> perpetual, yes.
[04:17] <orville> drowner: so you think because rm -rf didn't work that the file became readonly ?
[04:17] <sharperguy> don't you have to have the root password to use recovery mode?
[04:17] <chariot_> This happens only when I log out, not when I restart my computer.
[04:17] <perpetual> chariot_, just checking
[04:17] <sniper89> hey there :)
[04:17] <`AnthraX> cause this is my first time running linux [3 days now]
[04:17] <bur[n] er> chariot_: probably a problem with the video card driver... is it an intel?  my usplash doesn't work on my box with an i810 driver
[04:17] <sniper89> maybe somebody knows how to solve my problem
[04:17] <sniper89> I've described it on the forums
[04:17] <drowner> orville: the drive WASNT read onlt
[04:17] <chariot_> Yes.  It's an Intel.
[04:17] <sniper89> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=452808 over here
[04:18] <chariot_> Are there any fixes for this issue?
[04:18] <Killox> Yobrien: So I just have to restart?
[04:18] <drowner> when i did the rm -rf on the offending drive, it told me one of the files didnt exist, and then the drive became read only
[04:18] <`AnthraX> thats me :/
[04:18] <perpetual> chariot_, can you switch to a text terminal (ctrl-alt-f1)
[04:18] <`AnthraX> mess up
[04:18] <chariot_> How do I find out information about my video card?
[04:18] <sharperguy> `AnthraX, try running synaptic
[04:18] <chariot_> perpetual, yeah.
[04:18] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  only the initial first created Linux user has sudo access.
[04:18] <bur[n] er> `AnthraX: reboot... open recovery mode... run "nano /etc/sudoers" and add your user name with teh proper syntax... save the file, and reboot to the normal kernel
[04:18] <`AnthraX> i edited my sources list 5 times till now
[04:18] <Maverick> how do i navigate in terminal?
[04:18] <`AnthraX> ok
[04:18] <sudobash> ?
[04:18] <`AnthraX> :X
[04:18] <perpetual> chariot_, and if you switch back, still nothing?
[04:18] <yobrien> Killox: ive got the same issue....  you can try and kill all music apps before suspend ... it helps a little but sill it doesn't fix the probem... well if your sound is also not working randomly then it maybe something else
[04:18] <dr_willis> !shell

[04:19] <MrC_> Hi there I was doing some update via terminal and it appeared this message :I was doing the update via terminal and it appear this line The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[04:19] <POVaddct> dr_willis: i think it is mostly because newbies install software in a wrong way. they don't use the repos and d'load something with its own "installer" and install that.

[04:20] <perpetual> ubotu, is there a channel for help on cups on ubuntu?
[04:20] <POVaddct> Ghandi: it's /join #ubuntu-de

[04:21] <nuu> perpetual: ubotu is a bot. don't hold your breath waiting for an answer
[04:21] <Killox> yobrien: Its not all the time, last time I have to reboot was about 2 days ago, and it was working fine last night.  Then this morning it just stopped.  Sigh, I just didn't want to restart.  Thanks for letting me know that I'm not the only one with the issue.  Its not a major one, just a pain!
[04:21] <sharperguy> `AnthraX, system->administration->synaptic package manager, and find the package you want to remove

[04:21] <perpetual> nuu, well, I tried
[04:21] <`AnthraX> aham
[04:22] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  im curious as to how you even broke sudo access.
[04:22] <sincero> in fstab
[04:22] <chariot_> Ok.  I'm back.  It didn't work perpetual
[04:22] <wardyx> anyone using libnss-pgsql for their user authentication?
[04:22] <perpetual> do ti la so fa mi re do
[04:22] <perpetual> chariot_, the screen problem, right?
[04:22] <chariot_> perpetual, I had to reinstall Ubuntu because after changing the login window theme, I was unable to see anything even after a restart.
[04:22] <chariot_> perpetual, yes.
[04:22] <orville> drowner: run this command. 'touch /media/EXTERNAL200/file && ls /media/EXTERNAL200'
[04:22] <chariot_> Now, I have noticed that this happens with the default settings too after I log out.
[04:23] <orville> drowner: and type the output here
[04:23] <sincero> i mounted two windows partitions one is all right but the second not
[04:23] <perpetual> chariot_, after changing the theme it went south?
[04:23] <`AnthraX> sharperguy wow i think this is a big problem
[04:23] <chariot_> perpetual, yeah.
[04:23] <sharperguy> `AnthraX, why?
[04:23] <`AnthraX> i am really messed up
[04:23] <sincero> both FAT32
[04:23] <`AnthraX> it says to me
[04:23] <POVaddct> dr_willis: breaking sudo access is rather easy. add a new user and don't put this user in the "admin" group. then delete the primary user.
[04:23] <chariot_> I'm just afraid of logging out or changing the theme now.
[04:23] <luther> x|ruys
[04:23] <wardyx> some guys have all the luck :)
[04:23] <mbutUbuntu01> hello folks
[04:23] <dr_willis> POVaddct,  but did he do that it what i was wondering. :)
[04:23] <perpetual> have you checked what /var/log/Xorg.0.log says?
[04:23] <MrC_> ...and ubotu is crazy bot.He needs a menthal health institution Nuu
[04:23] <drowner> orville: touch: cannot touch `/media/EXTERNAL200/file': Read-only file system
[04:23] <chariot_> Let me check.
[04:24] <`AnthraX> sharperguy it says to me: Internal error opening cache PLEASE REPORT
[04:24] <POVaddct> dr_willis: maybe he is too newbie to tell us :)
[04:24] <drowner> orville: it wasn't before... now it is again

[04:24] <sharperguy> `AnthraX, I've never seen that mesage before :/
[04:24] <`AnthraX> :/

[04:24] <mbutUbuntu01> I've have some strange problems.... I use ubuntustudio(that is based on ubuntu feisty), but I tried both the ubuntustudio kernel and the ubuntu standard kernel... when I use openoffice the system crashes
[04:25] <dr_willis> ziggy23,  you can pick what desktop to use at the kdm/gdm login screen.
[04:25] <mbutUbuntu01> I don't think it could be the X server
[04:25] <sincero> i did this
[04:25] <chariot_> perpetual, there were no errors in the log the last time this happened and I checked.
[04:25] <chariot_> should I paste the log file somewhere?
[04:25] <drowner> orville: I'll unmount, remount, and try the  touch again
[04:25] <`AnthraX> dr_willis what shall i do? :)
[04:25] <orville> drowner: type 'mount' and paste the line corresponding to w/ the external drive
[04:26] <ziggy23> dr willis:  how do I do that?  Absolute beginner here.
[04:26] <`AnthraX> dr_willis the problem is caused by second-life
[04:26] <perpetual> chariot_, can you check with pstree -alcpu if you get a "normal" process tree
[04:26] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  i think reading a few fundamentals of ubuntu books/guides would be in order.. while you backup/reinstall the system
[04:26] <drowner> orville: i did the touch, it told me all the directories on the drive.
[04:26] <`AnthraX> hmm
[04:26] <`AnthraX> :/
[04:26] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  i seriously doubt that installing second life broke sudo
[04:26] <reverseblade> ziggy23, you should have specific problems and questions, then try  to solve each of them
[04:26] <drowner> orville: should i fsck it?
[04:26] <orville> drowner: type 'mount' and paste the line corresponding to w/ the external drive
[04:26] <MrC_> Does anyone knows if can i use pure KDE?
[04:26] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  install stuff like that on a per user basis. not system wide also is a good idea.
[04:26] <`AnthraX> man i broked sudo again!!!!
[04:26] <MrC_> instead of Kubuntu
[04:26] <drowner> its already mounted?
[04:27] <`AnthraX> i could't use wget or sudo
[04:27] <perpetual> chariot_, you should see gdm in there, with a child gdm process, then an Xorg process hanging from the child process, and so on
[04:27] <orville> MrC_: you can do whatever you want
[04:27] <iutepal> help
[04:27] <`AnthraX> and i fixed it from the sources list dr_willis
[04:27] <drowner> orville: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/EXTERNAL200
[04:27] <drowner> mount failed
[04:27] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,    wget being broken is a sign of a bigger issue.
[04:27] <nuu> `AnthraX: you broke sudo ? first time i've heard anything like that
[04:27] <`AnthraX> but now i searched on the sources list dr_willis and there is no such like that
[04:27] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  souurces.list is not going to affect sudo.
[04:27] <perpetual> iutepal, you need to be slightly more specific
[04:27] <Tom47> puh its not good news but you can read the experience of others here ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=415009
[04:27] <`AnthraX> well and yes it affected it dr_willis

[04:28] <makki_> where can i found wine after install? please help
[04:28] <`AnthraX> i couldn't sudo dr_willis and when i removed one line it fixed..

[04:28] <`AnthraX> ok

[04:28] <orville> MrC_: you will need to build kde packages yourself however.

[04:29] <sharperguy> !ask | mbutUbuntu01
[04:29] <ubotu> mbutUbuntu01: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:29] <chariot_> perpetual, so you want me to log out and grab the output of that command?
[04:29] <sincero> nuu: i opened privat session
[04:29] <CheshireViking_> makki_, normally you type "wine somefile.exe"
[04:29] <perpetual> chariot_, ok, so you actually have a running X window system
[04:29] <chariot_> from another terminal?
[04:29] <chariot_> yes
[04:29] <mosi|work> quick question.. does gparted destroy data on a partition if resizing it ?
[04:29] <perpetual> chariot_, I checked your link
[04:29] <makki_> i try
[04:29] <grndslm_> hello all...how do i get my brightness keys on my laptop keyboard to work?
[04:29] <kadakas> does ubuntu support TabletPC functionality out-of-the-box ?
[04:29] <nuu> sincero: you must be a recognized user for that, so keep it to the channel
[04:29] <seraphim> mosi|work: can happen, but shouldn't
[04:30] <drowner> Orville: i got 2 directories. only one of them is the problem, so i ls-ed that
[04:30] <mosi|work> alright, thanks
[04:30] <CheshireViking_> makki_, or if you've got a file saved on your desktop as an example, you should be able to right click on it and tell it to run the file using wine
[04:30] <mosi|work> ill give it a go, see waht happens, backed everything up anyway
[04:30] <drowner> orville: and i got a whole heap of files and directories i didn't know existed
[04:30] <mordredP> hi, how do i have my partitions show up on the desktop like removable drives?
[04:30] <ziggy23> OK ok...Is there any way **short of reformatting my hard drive** that I can switch back from KDE to Gnome?  I apologize for my ignorance here, but I don't see an #ubuntu-newuser channel.
[04:30] <makki_> wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\file.exe": Module not found
[04:30] <sincero> nuu: all right. i mounted them manualy and i ran fdisk -l
[04:30] <chariot_> perpetual, so what is wrong?
[04:30] <sniper89> anybody? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=452808
[04:31] <perpetual> chariot_, now you should check if the resolution is ok, monitor not switched off because it gets a resolution it cannot display, that type of error
[04:31] <orville> drowner: go to #flood and paste the whole output there
[04:31] <nuu> sincer: no need to mount it for fdisk -l, but go ahead
[04:31] <sincero> nuu: i can acces them
[04:31] <chariot_> oh i see.
[04:31] <chariot_> how do i do that
[04:31] <CheshireViking_> makki_, sounds like the application isn't installed under wine, you'll probably be better joining #winehq for help
[04:31] <perpetual> chariot_, the process table you showed is the current situation and the screen is black?
[04:31] <chariot_> no.
[04:31] <grndslm_> ziggy23:  your display manager will allow you to choose whether you login to gnome or kde
[04:31] <orbin> mordredP: mount them in /media
[04:31] <chariot_> the screen currently is ok.  i have xchat running
[04:32] <chariot_> do you want me to grab the output of that command when the screen is blank?
[04:32] <makki_> ok
[04:32] <perpetual> chariot_, oh. I would like to now what the process table looks like when the error is occurring.
[04:32] <grndslm_> ziggy23:  in the login manager, go to "sessions" or somethin like that...will give you option
[04:32] <synchronous> how to show man page about bind(), connect(), listen() etc ? im learning socket programming
[04:32] <chariot_> perpetual, ok.
[04:32] <chariot_> give me a sec.  i'll be right back.
[04:32] <Dexterp37> perpetual: I'm at my linux workstation, messing with Minicom
[04:32] <nuu> sincero: so you can access them when mounting manually, just not when mounting from fstab ?
[04:33] <yobrien> synchronous:  alt-f2 man:bind etc...
[04:33] <`AnthraX> hmm i regenerated my sources.list but nothing
[04:33] <`AnthraX> ...........
[04:33] <mordredP> orbin i am on a different distro.. how does ubuntu do that?
[04:33] <ThePioneer> Can anyone tell me the best p2p there is to use for Feisty?
[04:33] <perpetual> Dexterp37, the different software and network layers to check are:
[04:33] <grndslm_> bittorrent
[04:33] <ThePioneer> How about Amule?
[04:33] <nuu> sincero: is the mountpoint you're using in fstab a valid directory on your system ? paste your fstab on pastebin, and let's give it a look
[04:33] <stefg> !p2p | ThePioneer
[04:33] <ubotu> ThePioneer: Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network).  -  BitTorrent: see !torrent  -  Direct connect: try valknut.  -  Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information.
[04:33] <nuu> !pastebin | sincero
[04:33] <ubotu> sincero: 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)
[04:34] <ThePioneer> Or Duluge?
[04:34] <ziggy23> the login manager is the first thing I see when I type my username and password?  Maybe I am confused by the vocabulary a bit.
[04:34] <stefg> !deluge
[04:34] <ubotu> deluge is a new Bittorrent client, created using Python and GTK+, intended to bring a native, full-featured client to !GTK environments such as GNOME and Xfce - See http://deluge-torrent.org/ for more information

[04:34] <ash_> Anyone know how to burn a UIF file? It's a magic ISO CD Image... k3b doesnt wana load it :(
[04:34] <ash_> !uif
[04:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about uif - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:34] <synchronous> yobrien: is the man page installed by default. i allready try that but got nothing.
[04:34] <sudobash> yes
[04:34] <perpetual> Dexterp37, serial connection, kernel modules and that stuff. Then use minicom to see if it will make a call. The next layer is ppp, which needs PAP or CHAP.
[04:34] <nuu> uif you say ?
[04:34] <nuu> udf maybe ?
[04:34] <sudobash> i know how to burn uif
[04:34] <orbin> synchronous: try manpages-dev
[04:34] <sudobash> and udf
[04:35] <ash_> It's uif :(
[04:35] <sudobash> uif and udf
[04:35] <chariot_> perpetual: ok.  I'm now using irssi.
[04:35] <ash_> sudobash: help?
[04:35] <ash_> :D
[04:35] <sudobash> sudo wine magiciso
[04:35] <sudobash> yeah
[04:35] <ash_> :P
[04:35] <sudobash> run magic iso
[04:35] <sudobash> and convert it to iso
[04:35] <chariot_> perpetual: I saw the tree and it's not listing much under the gdm node.
[04:35] <Dexterp37> Perpetual: Minicom actually made the call
[04:35] <sudobash> no it works
[04:35] <chariot_> hold on.  i'll be back.
[04:35] <orville> drowner: the files with the non english characters; are they supposed to be there?
[04:35] <dr_willis> what is with all these funky iso variant file formats.. :)
[04:35] <sudobash> you cant burn it with mariciso
[04:35] <sudobash> but you can convert to iso
[04:35] <nuu> ash_: yeah, seems sudobash got that right: http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-decompressuif.htm
[04:35] <sudobash> ive done it
[04:36] <perpetual> When you have ppp up, you should have ip numbers on both ends of the ppp connection and at that point you should set your nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf and so on. If that works you have a full connection with IPv4
[04:36] <synchronous> orbin: thank you :)
[04:36] <nuu> and remember ash_
[04:36] <nuu> google is your friend, too
[04:36] <drowner> orville: done
[04:36] <ash_> I know but that's gonna take hella days to setup :(P
[04:36] <drowner> orville: isn't it bizarre?
[04:36] <yobrien> !find bind.2.gz
[04:36] <drowner> orville: oh god no. I dont know WHERE they came from
[04:36] <sudobash> trial version should work
[04:36] <Maverick> the unpacked flahs player file is sittin on my desktop,  how do i navigate to it through terminal?
[04:36] <orbin> synchronous: worked?
[04:36] <ubotu> File bind.2.gz found in manpages-de-dev, manpages-dev, manpages-es, manpages-fr-dev, manpages-ja-dev (and 5 others)
[04:36] <ash_> I didnt wana have to setup wine
[04:36] <sudobash> it took me 30-1 hour to figure out
[04:36] <yobrien> !find bind.2.gz  | synchronous
[04:36] <perpetual> Dexterp37, so those are the things to check.
[04:36] <sudobash> it will keep crashing
[04:36] <sudobash> but you can get it to work
[04:36] <ubotu> synchronous: please see above
[04:37] <sudobash> make sure your not reading it from a usb
[04:37] <ash_> Alright... thanks guys :D
[04:37] <sudobash> it will cause wine to crash sometimes
[04:37] <orville> drowner: do you have any files on that drive you want to keep?
[04:37] <perpetual> Dexterp37, normally, of course, some nice gui program does all this for you.
[04:37] <gui_> hi

[04:41] <orville> drowner: either you mounted the drive as a different encoding, which screwed the drive up when yoy changed to utf-8 encoding. or the drive is dying and screwed itself. or there's a virus (there was an ipod virus about but they released an update for that)

[04:49] <varka> tappaja: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst find the line # altoptions=(recovery mode) single 3 and change 3 to 5
[04:49] <tritium> zeroflag: with an apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:49] <mordredP> orbin i mean outside the boundaries of my monitor?
[04:49] <perpetual> chariot_, if you have image at some point, how can that be a problem?
[04:49] <orville> drowner: but it shows you the available options right under it :-)
[04:49] <chariot_> perpetual, because the display rendering doesn't feel as smooth as it should.

[04:49] <please_help> Well now i've already tried #ubuntu-effects but noone there i responding. So here I go again.... I have feisty 64 bit installed and xgl, compiz running on my system. Now my question is how can I run several programs at startup on different workspaces? Is is possible to write a small script in a easy way like that: $ <name_of_program> <option_telling_the_prog_to_start_on_workspaceX> ....
[04:49] <chariot_> and this motherboard is an intel 845g series motherboard
[04:49] <Consty> How can I reduce the area in which activates vertical scrolling for my trackpad on my laptop?  It seems 25% of the right side will activate it, and I'de like to keep it as close to the edge as possible.  Any ideas?
[04:49] <overdark> hello all
[04:50] <nuu> grndslm_: keys are handled through acpi events. those events trigger scripts which are installed by the acpi-support package. take a look under the /etc/acpi tree, it'll all become clearer
[04:50] <tappaja> dyrne, I installed gdm. need to reboot X
[04:50] <chariot_> how do i get more informatio about my hardware, perpetual?
[04:50] <drowner> orville: i got this: dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 191.
[04:50] <perpetual> chariot_, it maybe is not entirely correct, but that does not explain the screen going completely black. That is the problem you want to solve right now, right? Not slow rendering?
[04:50] <kronus_> Hi, I'm having trouble getting a cd-rom drive recognized by ubuntu
[04:50] <chariot_> perpetual, yes
[04:50] <chariot_> I thought may be both are related.
[04:50] <orville> drowner: what command did you run?
[04:50] <grndslm_> nuu:  i get it, but i don't know what to put after event=hkey...how do i find the value of a specific button??
[04:50] <perpetual> chariot_, lspci is your friend
[04:50] <chariot_> ok
[04:50] <orbin> mordredP: well you can't afaik move icons so far that they are effectively hidden, and unless you are seeing other things getting cut off, i don't think that'd be it.
[04:51] <chariot_> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] /GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)
[04:51] <drowner> orville: fsck.vfat /dev/sdc
[04:51] <overdark> I installed Kubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) yesterday, ran it, went fine. Today i booted it, restarted, booted Windows XP, reboored again, then error. Error 17 at booting sequence 1.5. I read about it, it says something about typing "fdisk -l" in the terminal. Nothing showed up. Any help please?
[04:51] <grndslm_> nuu:  i've tried acpi_listen, but it doesn't show anything for the brightness key, and certainly nothing that looks like it belongs in those files under /etc
[04:51] <orbin> mordredP: there's probably something simple i missed. try asking in #gnome
[04:51] <nuu> grndslm_: did you check to see if there are events under /etc/acpi/events that match your laptop brightness keys ?
[04:51] <kronus_> basically, the install disc doesn't run, and the old OS (older version of ubuntu) doesn't see the cd drive
[04:51] <perpetual> chariot_, possible, but I need to know if your monitor is not just switching itself off. That would explain the blackness
[04:51] <orbin> mordredP: or your distro's channel
[04:51] <kronus_> i've tried dmesg, lspci, and none list the cd drive as being there
[04:51] <chariot_> perpetual, ok.  the led is on when the screen goes blank.
[04:52] <kronus_> it's a 2-3 year old Mad Dog CDRW drive
[04:52] <grndslm_> nuu:  yes, for brightness, but i'm assuming that the key is mis-mapped or something
[04:52] <perpetual> chariot_, so I need those frequencies you can find in the monitor menus
[04:52] <nuu> grndslm_: what laptop ?
[04:52] <chariot_> ok
[04:52] <grndslm_> asus z35f
[04:52] <orville> drowner: looks like fsck isn't going to work then
[04:53] <chariot_> monitor menus?
[04:53] <orbin> overdark: that command requires a sudo in front i think.
[04:53] <orville> drowner: try fsck.vfat -V /dev/DRIVE to see what happens
[04:53] <perpetual> chariot_, example, my monitor has a menu button, if you push it, a menu comes up
[04:53] <overdark> orbin: thanks, I'll try it now
[04:53] <please_help> anyone here who know howto write a start-up script?
[04:53] <chariot_> oh ok
[04:53] <perpetual> chariot_, to center the image, etc.
[04:53] <LjL> please_help: you mean an /etc/init.d script?
[04:53] <drowner> orville: exactly the same. 191 not supported
[04:53] <please_help> no
[04:54] <please_help> i want to start a graphical prog
[04:54] <please_help> on my x server
[04:54] <please_help> on display 2
[04:54] <overdark> worked; now what do I do? :)
[04:54] <dr_willis> please_help,   you have 2 X servers running?
[04:54] <perpetual> chariot_, if that works, and you see some sane resolution there, you excluded yet another possible cause
[04:54] <LjL> please_help: uh... export DISPLAY=:2    programname?
[04:54] <grndslm_> nuu:  ahh, i guess there isn't a script for asus lappies
[04:54] <orville> drowner: now you have the answer to your question  :-)
[04:54] <please_help> no just xgl
[04:55] <please_help> xmms=prog
[04:55] <nuu> grndslm_: yeah that's what i was noticing too, no asus-brightness sort of script :\
[04:55] <chariot_> yeah.  i see 1280x1024 / 61 Hz there too
[04:55] <Maverick> okay gujys, i wanna wipe my hard drive completely, reinstall ubuntu, and start all ova. How would i do this?
[04:55] <chariot_> the same setting as that set in ubuntu
[04:55] <orbin> overdark: well it just lists the partitions on the drive.  what did the error fix say to do besides that?
[04:55] <drowner> orville: I'm not sure i do have the answer: i tried it with sdc1 (rather than sdc) and its doing something
[04:55] <overdark> note: i read that i have to type grub-install /dev/hda. i typed that with sudo and front and got: Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[04:55] <dr_willis> please_help,  you mean start a program onthe second virtual desktop?
[04:55] <perpetual> chariot_, do you have a tft monitor? The resolution and refresh rate suggests that
[04:55] <please_help> sorry i don'T want it to run on an other display... i want to runi t on an other workspace
[04:56] <Maverick> how do i wipe my entire hardrive?
[04:56] <chariot_> no this is a crt
[04:56] <stefg> overdark: try sda instead of hda
[04:56] <overdark> okay i'll try
[04:56] <SudoBash> Maverick
[04:56] <Maverick> yes
[04:56] <SudoBash> use Gutman format
[04:56] <SudoBash> hehe
[04:56] <overdark> Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[04:56] <SudoBash> gutmann
[04:56] <nuu> hm grndslm_: you may try monitoring /var/log/acpid to see if anything pops up when you hit your brightness keys
[04:56] <chariot_> this one is an lg flatron E700SH monitor
[04:56] <overdark> all partitions are hda's :)
[04:56] <SudoBash> Low Level Format
[04:56] <SudoBash> then you need to partition it
[04:57] <PseudoP1acebo> If I have a server edition of Ubuntu installed, how would I go about installing GNOME so I could use it as a desktop- I apt-get install'd GNOME and it worked fine, but I'm not sure how to start it or any of that.
[04:57] <perpetual> chariot_, then 61 Hz is quite low. You should try to get it higher.
[04:57] <nuu> grndslm_: you could then write your own script matching those key codes, starting from the volume keys scripts, and modifying them
[04:57] <drowner> orville: it said 'truncating file to xxx bytes and now its stopped.
[04:57] <chariot_> it doesn't support any more than that in the screen resolutio ndialog
[04:57] <drowner> orville: i think i have to reformat the badboy.
[04:57] <Maverick> all i want, is for every single thing to be tyaken off my hardrive, so i have as much space as possible, then i will reinstall ubuntu
[04:57] <chariot_> probably because the display driver has not been detected?
[04:57] <grndslm_> nuu:  thanks, will try!
[04:57] <leagris> PseudoP1acebo, install ubuntu-desktop
[04:57] <PseudoP1acebo> leagris: That's it?
[04:57] <orville> drowner: have at it.
[04:57] <mbutUbuntu01> ragazzi per ora non sta dando problemi ubuntustudio
[04:57] <mbutUbuntu01> stranissimo
[04:57] <drowner> orville: at least my music is on my ipod, so all is not entirely lost.
[04:57] <perpetual> chariot_, the way to do this is to put HorizSync and VertRefresh lines in the Monitor section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:57] <LjL> !it | mbutUbuntu01
[04:57] <ubotu> mbutUbuntu01: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[04:57] <mbutUbuntu01> dite che sono stati gli upgrade??
[04:57] <SudoBash> Gutmann is the best format in the world
[04:57] <nuu> np grndslm_, good luck
[04:57] <SudoBash> thats free
[04:58] <stefg> overdark: ?? so the drive is partitioned and ubuntu is installed?
[04:58] <chariot_> perpetual, hmm...
[04:58] <Maverick> isnt there a terminal commend?
[04:58] <overdark> stefg: yes
[04:58] <mbutUbuntu01> sorry I thought that it was the it channel.... :-D
[04:58] <leagris> PseudoP1acebo, yes, a meta-package that depend on all required/usefull desktop applications, gnome, xorg...
[04:58] <mbutUbuntu01> I have many channels opened
[04:58] <mbutUbuntu01> :-D
[04:58] <overdark> stefg:  both ubuntu and windows xp
[04:58] <chariot_> ah it doesn't contain those lines.
[04:58] <perpetual> chariot_, what kind of monitor is it?
[04:58] <chariot_> how do i find out the refresh rates?
[04:58] <sincero> nuu: it's working now
[04:58] <stefg> overdark: what does sudo fdisk -l tell you? (use pastebin)
[04:58] <chariot_> Section "Monitor"        Identifier      "T710BH"        Option          "DPMS" EndSection
[04:58] <Jack3_> how do i check if i have a sata drive???
[04:58] <drowner> orville: whats your final diagnosis? drive corrupted? I blame windows
[04:59] <nuu> sincero: what was wrong ?
[04:59] <perpetual> chariot_, is it a Dell?
[04:59] <sincero> nuu: problem was i didn't restart system

[04:59] <nuu> !paste | overdark
[04:59] <perpetual> chariot_, what is the size?
[04:59] <chariot_> 17 inches
[04:59] <overdark> I hope that was not some spam.
[04:59] <leagris> Maverick, sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/yourharddrivedevice
[04:59] <ubotu> overdark: 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)
[04:59] <orville> drowner: my final diagnosis is that drive is screwed.
[04:59] <LjL> overdark: it quite was
[04:59] <Maverick> can anyone tell me how i can wipe my HD please
[04:59] <overdark> oh well
[05:00] <overdark> I'll take that into account for the next time
[05:00] <perpetual> chariot_, then 1280x1024 is too high, I think.
[05:00] <drowner> orville: heh. fsck is doing something. I told it to correct everything. Lets see what happens. I still blame windows.
[05:00] <sincero> nuu: thanks for help anyway
[05:00] <nuu> sincero: you dont need to restart a system in order to get an fstab entry to work
[05:00] <ZeZu> Maverick, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/whatever [option for drive size here]
[05:00] <chariot_> perpetual, yeah.
[05:00] <nuu> sincero: you just need to mount the partition
[05:00] <chariot_> that's the default.
[05:00] <chariot_> i switched back to 1025x768
[05:00] <SudoBash> Maverick get a low level formatt boot loader..... a cd that will do it for you
[05:00] <Maverick> okay
[05:00] <SudoBash> boot to the cd like you would ubuntu live cd
[05:00] <Tom47> Maverick use gparted in a livecd
[05:00] <SudoBash> and it will do it
[05:00] <please_help> I want to start an application on desktop2 @ startup. Anyone know howto do this? what I'd need to type into the shell? that'd be enough already? I am running feisty 64bit with gnome as window manager... I've XGL with compiz installed...
[05:00] <Jack3_> how do i tell if I have a sata drive?
[05:01] <djsgorby> hi
[05:01] <ZeZu> Maverick, there are much more advancted techniques, if you want it really "wiped"
[05:01] <nuu> sincero: the point behind fstab is of course that 1) it'll be mounted automatically on restart, and 2) you don't need to remember details about something if you want to umount/remount it, you just pass mount the mountpoint, and it fetches the relevant info off the fstab file
[05:01] <SudoBash> yeah i use Geek Squad MRI Darik Boot And Nuke
[05:01] <chariot_> i found this on the net:  http://rafb.net/p/x4eIFH47.html
[05:01] <chariot_> err
[05:01] <perpetual> chariot_, try changing the lines somewhere at the bottom of xorg.conf in the Screen section
[05:01] <chariot_> I have a LG Flatron E700SH with standard frequency ranges (30-71 kHz horizontal and 50-160 kHz vertical).
[05:01] <SudoBash> its lame but it has Gutmann Format on it
[05:01] <Maverick> i just want all the old windows stuff off of here
[05:01] <dr_willis> please_help,  thats often a feature of the windowmanager/desktop to handle stuff like that.. some have a 'rember desktop' feauture.
[05:01] <chariot_> how do i add those to xorg.conf?
[05:01] <leagris> Maverick, boot the LiveUbnutu CD, open a command line then sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/harddrivedevice
[05:01] <overdark> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22310/plain/ - there you go.
[05:01] <SudoBash> yeah that works better
[05:01] <Maverick> okay ty guys
[05:01] <nuu> sincero: so i guess you had it right from the beginning, just didnt realize you did ;)
[05:01] <chariot_> perpetual, Modes           "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
[05:01] <SudoBash> ubuntu rocks
[05:01] <please_help> it always carashes if i remember the settings
[05:01] <Tom47> Maverick if its a separate disk then gparted is yr friemd
[05:01] <FutureMarine> When I try to install xubuntu I get an error, the first error was from the floppy saying it couldnt read it then I hooked it up and now its the hd, I have ubuntu version 5.04 on it and I dont know if I have to compeltly erase the hd then install?
[05:01] <stefg> overdark: hmmm... does  'sudo update-grub' give any results?
[05:02] <perpetual> chariot_, there is a Subsection "Display", and probably a list of resolutions
[05:02] <sincero> i did, but this protecular partiton was mounted even before, but wrong way. i mounted once more right, but it didn't work till i restarted
[05:02] <dbrewer_rjr> i am configuring an ibm server for lamp with feisty. the raid 5 array is 1 terabyte. can the install program partition that size into one partition? that is what the owner has asked for.
[05:02] <chariot_> perpetual, yeah.
[05:02] <overdark> Could not find /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Would you like /boot/grub/menu.lst generated for you? (y/N)
[05:02] <chariot_> I just pasted those
[05:02] <perpetual> chariot_, good, you found it. Remove the "1280x1024" entries, but leave the rest of the line intact
[05:02] <sincero> nuu: does it make any sence to you
[05:02] <bobrik> Hi, where does feisty store core dumps (I did enable limit -c unlimited, I did search Google, I looked in /var and /tmp and $HOME and pwd)
[05:02] <chariot_> perpetual, ok.
[05:03] <kitche> bobrik: usually in ~/ it might be hiddent
[05:03] <stefg> overdark: so if you is there a /boot/grub menu.lst in your install?
[05:03] <zsh> i just added a new nic to my box, how do i activate it
[05:03] <please_help> dr_willis... do you know where gnome saves the settings if i let it remember the settings?
[05:03] <nuu> sincero: to be honest, nope. if a partition is mounted correctly, then you can access it. you dont need a reboot to make it work
[05:03] <stefg> overdark: so  is there a /boot/grub menu.lst in your install?
[05:03] <overdark> Could not find it.
[05:03] <overdark> It asks me if I want it to be generated.
[05:03] <stefg> overdark: then your install is seriously broken...
[05:03] <perpetual> chariot_, that way you get slightly lower res, but higher refresh. And who knows, that might have caused the blackness
[05:04] <dr_willis> please_help,  nope.  I rarelyu use gnome.. and if you are using that glx stuff. it may not even have that feature
[05:04] <overdark> stefg: what to do then?
[05:04] <chariot_> ok i'll try rebooting now.
[05:04] <chariot_> or just restart xorg
[05:04] <ruSh[A] > hiho
[05:04] <FutureMarine> I am trying to install xubuntu onto my laptop, is there a laptop version? I get errors and the first one was the floppy because I didnt have it connected, then now its the hd and I have ubuntu version 5.04 on it. Do I need to completly erase the hd
[05:04] <dbrewer_rjr> i am configuring an ibm server for lamp with feisty. the raid 5 array is 1 terabyte. can the install program partition that size into one partition? that is what the owner has asked for.
[05:04] <sincero> nuu: the partition was mounted to mnt not media, and i could acces it but not write
[05:04] <stefg> overdark: what did you do last?... if it's a fresh install, i'd suggest to do new install, this might be only the top of an iceberg
[05:05] <perpetual> overdark, try dpkg-reconfigure grub
[05:05] <Jeax> hey
[05:05] <nuu> the mountpoint is ininfluent, as far as it's not under a directory your user can't reach (/mnt not being the case). it's the mount options that matter
[05:05] <mh_le> how does one set a service to start at specific runlevels?
[05:05] <drowner> orville: thanks for the help. i appreciate it
[05:05] <overdark> stefg: I installed ubuntu yesterday, on a new partition (I mean, two new partitions, one for Linux itself and one for swap)
[05:05] <nuu> mh_le: man update-rc.d
[05:05] <overdark> perpetual: with sudo in front, right? :)
[05:06] <stefg> overdark: something went wrong... reinstall
[05:06] <Jeax> is there any way to brighten your screen on ubuntu? I have an old monitor that's far too dark. On windows i used to use an application called PowerStrip but of course it won't run.
[05:06] <overdark> stefg: reinstall ubuntu or windows?
[05:06] <stefg> overdark: ubunbtu
[05:07] <perpetual> overdark, well I always do sudo su - to get root

[05:07] <Serge_K> hi everyone
[05:07] <FutureMarine> What xubuntu would you guys suggest for my laptop
[05:07] <FutureMarine> ?
[05:07] <stefg> overdark: reinstall will take 30 min. troubleshooting 2 hrs.... a question of time economy
[05:07] <overdark> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root
[05:07] <LjL> perpetual: why not sudo -i?
[05:07] <overdark> That's what it tells me.
[05:07] <orville> drowner: you're welcome :-0
[05:08] <orville> s/0/)
[05:08] <LjL> overdark: it most certainly has to be run as root
[05:08] <perpetual> LjL, because, eh I don't know what that does
[05:08] <ChiefT> i'm trying to print from ubuntu to a canon mfp shared from a w2k AD domain controller. the job briefly appears in the windows server's spool window as status 'spooling' then disappears without printing. any ideas?
[05:08] <mh_le> how to change the default runlevel?
[05:08] <LjL> perpetual: basically the same as sudo su -, except without the pointless redundancy
[05:08] <leagris> gnome-panel crash with xpengouin applet in Feisty, has anyone tryed this ?

[05:09] <LjL> overdark, putting sudo in front is the same as being root. it doesn't say anything because it's not supposed to. what was the problem?
[05:10] <dbrewer_rjr> Can feisty put 1 terabyte into a partition?
[05:10] <overdark> Like I said, i installed ubuntu on a new partition. I had winXP installed previously. After booting winXP, and then restarting, i got error 17 @ bootlevel 1.5.
[05:10] <slim> I was wondering how to compress a folder to .zip and not tar.gz
[05:10] <stefg> LjL: no menu.list ... and if that's not there think there's more missing :-\
[05:10] <perpetual> LjL, true, but sudo su - is a logical concatenation of two simple to remember commands, while remembering -i implies remembering a lot of the other options of sudo as well. -i is already in my mind when using grep, and lot's off other commands.
[05:10] <chariot_> perpetual, yes, it was the resolution.
[05:10] <Tom47> overdark try a reboot now .. if that fails then a reinstall is prob a good idea as LjL said
[05:10] <perpetual> chariot_, so the blackness is gone?
[05:11] <zsh> hi. how do i install another nic card in ubuntu?
[05:11] <overdark> okay I will... I'll tell you if it works (or not)
[05:11] <chariot_> yeah the blackness is gone
[05:11] <chariot_> :)
[05:11] <JennyDeafx74> !cardreader
[05:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cardreader - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:11] <zsh> its plugged in and the light is on but i cant find it in the networking dialog
[05:11] <slim> ! zip
[05:11] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[05:11] <chariot_> Thanks a lot perpetual
[05:11] <chariot_> :)
[05:11] <LjL> perpetual: it's like doing  cat filename | cat  (except cat doesn't have security concerns)
[05:12] <chariot_> perpetual, how do I get it to install the proper driver.  I was hoping I could get desktop effects to work.
[05:12] <nuu> dbrewer_rjr: why don't you try it ? you can't harm the underlying hw raid array anyway
[05:12] <chariot_> I have seen it working on other Intel 845gl systems
[05:12] <LjL> stefg: has he done update-grub in the end or not?
[05:12] <LjL> Tom47, i never said a reinstall was a good idea...
[05:12] <zsh> perpetual: do you have an idea on how i can do this
[05:12] <sincero> nuu: so what i think that happend: i booted partition in mnt without write acces after i rewrite fstab to boot this partition from media with write acces. but it didn't start to work corectly till i reboot system..... does it make any sence now?.
[05:12] <LjL> i don't think it is, at all
[05:12] <stefg> LjL: yeah... no /boot-dir, no menu.lst -> fubar
[05:12] <nuu> dbrewer_rjr: worst case scenario, you'll split that terabyte into smaller chunks, and lvm it all up
[05:12] <LjL> stefg: any idea why?
[05:13] <perpetual> chariot_, for the other thing, the rendering, you should check out the device section, the screen section and the server-layout section
[05:13] <stefg> LjL: if he got error 17 before.... not precisely, but that's crying for a reinstall
[05:13] <Tom47> LjL sorry .... wrong finger ... it was stefg
[05:13] <nuu> sincero: yeah, it now makes sense. you could've gotten it to work with one simple command though, instead of a reboot. that is, mount -o remount /dev/whatever
[05:14] <chariot_> perpetual, should I paste the xorg.conf file?
[05:14] <perpetual> chariot_, I need to go, but you figure out what card you have, look up at the xorg site which driver to put in the device section
[05:14] <chariot_> sure :)
[05:14] <brk3> hi, does anyone know how to make it so ubuntu can play 2 sounds at once? i hate having to stop amarok or something to just play a youtube video..
[05:14] <chariot_> thanks a lot perpetual :)  *hugs*
[05:14] <dbrewer_rjr> nuu: looks like it worked, but it took about 45 mins
[05:15] <brk3> theres a guide on ubuntuforums but its over 3 years old and doesnt seem the best solution
[05:15] <dbrewer_rjr> nuu: thx
[05:15] <sincero> nuu: 'all right i write it down. thanks.
[05:15] <nuu> dbrewer_rjr: np
[05:15] <nuu> sincero: np
[05:15] <perpetual> chariot_, thanks
[05:15] <riaal_> I have a serious problem, when I perss ALT+CTRL+F1 to enter a terminal (any terminal) my monitor shuts down and the keyboard stop working. The ubuntu loading screen (when booting up) looks relly strange to.. It has not always ben like this :S any guesses?
[05:15] <patryk_> join wawa
[05:16] <Phantomse> Hi
[05:16] <overdark> hello again
[05:16] <overdark> it did not work, I'll try a reinstall
[05:16] <nuu> riaal_: newly installed video drivers ?
[05:16] <riaal_> nuu, nope, nothing like that
[05:16] <chariot_> can i install the xserver-xorg-driver-i810 driver for my intel 845g/gl graphics card?
[05:17] <Serge_K> riaal_: F1 is the terminal which started X.. use F2, F3 so on
[05:17] <overdark> should I install on the same partitions as before?
[05:17] <belfegor> !p2p
[05:17] <ubotu> Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network).  -  BitTorrent: see !torrent  -  Direct connect: try valknut.  -  Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information.
[05:17] <chariot_> oh it's already installed, but it doesn't reflect in the xorg.conf file.
[05:18] <getit> hi,does anyone know how to get 3d on a p4m900 graphic?
[05:18] <riaal_> Serge_K, same problem
[05:18] <Tom47> overdark thats what i would do
[05:18] <overdark> ah damn thing, I can't put my old linux partition on "/"
[05:19] <overdark> it's on "ext3" and it's unchangeable
[05:19] <Serge_K> riaal_: I mean F1 is busy already... use F2...F6 instead to get a console
[05:19] <bobrik> kitche: thanks for your tip, I did not find my core dump; is there anything else than doing "ulimit -c unlimited" as a regular user to generate core dumps?
[05:19] <overdark> probably delete partition would work
[05:19] <getit> please help
[05:19] <kitche> bobrik: not a clue I jsut let core dumps happen
[05:20] <blackjackel> I need a copy of the windows 2000 master boot record that ubuntu wrote over with grub, is there any way to get that?
[05:20] <getit> i need acceleration 3d ..i got a p4m900 graphic
[05:20] <Serge_K> riaal_: but sorry I use debian, not Ubuntu
[05:20] <shawn34> Im thinking of buying a new computer, anyone know if certain brands are more compatible than others? like compaq, hp, gateway?
[05:20] <riaal_> Serge_K, thats not the probem anyway, it has woked before
[05:20] <Tom47> getit maybe you could try the "ubuntu-effects channel if you get no useful input here
[05:20] <riaal_> worked*
[05:21] <overdark> ahh i was wrong, ext3 has nothing to do with mount points :D my bad
[05:21] <nuu> shawn34: check ubuntu.com, and see what brand tshirt one of the guys in the picture is wearing
[05:21] <nuu> ;)
[05:21] <Phantomse> Hi. My problem is with my integrated soundcard VIA VT 1708. Do i have to install a specific driver?
[05:21] <Phantomse> Can somebody help me.
[05:22] <belfegor> how can i upgrade to feisty?
[05:22] <shawn34> null, i figured that but i was thinking of buying one from a local store today lol. pretty much i have a choice between acer, hp, compaq and gateway
[05:22] <belfegor> what is the command for this?
[05:22] <bobrik> belfegor: what are you using right now?
[05:22] <nuu> !upgrade
[05:22] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:23] <riaal_> I have a serious problem, when I perss ALT+CTRL+F1 to enter a terminal (any terminal) my monitor shuts down and the keyboard stop working. The ubuntu loading screen (when booting up) looks relly strange to.. It has not always ben like this :S any guesses?
[05:23] <belfegor> edgy
[05:23] <wardyx> anyone using libnss-pgsql for their user authentication?
[05:23] <astinus-work> Right, this is going to sound odd, but are there any binaries kicking about for debootstrap which I could use to install Ubuntu Dapper from within a Gentoo LiveCD environment?
[05:23] <Jeax> How can i brighten my screen? It's too dark (Crappy old monitor)
[05:23] <nuu> !upgrade | belfegor
[05:23] <ubotu> belfegor: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:23] <kitche> !bootstrap | astinus-work
[05:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bootstrap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:23] <bobrik> belfegor: use the following link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:23] <ralex> what is centos?
[05:23] <belfegor> ok thanks
[05:24] <nuu> a distro
[05:24] <kitche> !debootstrap | astinus-work
[05:24] <ubotu> astinus-work: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into.
[05:24] <ralex> oh
[05:24] <Tom47> ralex check it out in distrowatch.com
[05:24] <overdark> what should the boot loader installation device be?
[05:24] <overdark> the default is hd0
[05:24] <ralex> thanks Tom47, checking :D
[05:24] <shawn34> null, what about between acer, hp, compaq and gateway. have any ideas? I have a compaq laptop and everything works well
[05:24] <jonah> hey guys, i've got a folder of files that need setting to my user group that currently have padlocks on them, is there a command i can use to batch change them all to my user?? i copied them from a cd and permissions are very strange
[05:24] <astinus-work> kitche: Yes, please read what I wrote. I know all about debootstrap, I wanted to know if it's going to be easy to get that fired up on a Gentoo LiveCD.
[05:25] <t3hwiz0rd> crimsun: can i borrow your attention?
[05:25] <kitche> astinus-work: read what it says extract the packages to do it
[05:25] <Serge_K> riaal_: sorry I dont use graphical boot, neither KDM/GDM etc... I boot into text console on terminal #1 (F1) and do startx...:)
[05:25] <astinus-work> kitche: Ah, yes, but I need the debootstrap binary since a LiveCD won't ship with it...
[05:25] <DShepherd> I want to put a bunch of avi files into one movie... what app can I use to do this?
[05:26] <techjim> Quick q:  when I remove a package, sometimes a list comes up listing packages that were installed and no longer needed.  How does ubuntu tell? Dependencies?  Is it wise to autoremove?
[05:26] <nuu> shawn34: don't get me wrong, i dont want to sound like those i-know-it-all guys, but personally i assemble my own boxes from parts i pick, so i don't know jack about pre-configured PCs and what brand X mounts in model Y
[05:26] <overdark> DShepherd: I would have said windows movie maker if we weren't on an ubuntu help channel :)
[05:26] <stefg> DShepherd: avidemux
[05:26] <riaal_> Serge_K, can't access the terminal att all =/
[05:26] <dr_willis> using  avidemux  right now.. can it merge movies? never noticed that feature.
[05:26] <stefg> !info avidemux | DShepherd
[05:26] <DShepherd> overdark, hehe... hhe
[05:26] <ubotu> dshepherd: avidemux: a small editing software for avi (especially DivX). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:2.3.0-0.0ubuntu3 (feisty), package size 3270 kB, installed size 8256 kB
[05:27] <DShepherd> stefg, so you have used it before/?
[05:27] <stefg> dr_willis: it can append
[05:27] <sahil> hey, does anyone know how to get a proper mac like dock in ubuntu
[05:27] <DShepherd> sahil, define proper..
[05:27] <sahil> where the icons enlarge when the mouse hovers over them
[05:27] <sahil> lol
[05:27] <stefg> !gnome-dock | sahil
[05:27] <ubotu> sahil: gnome-dock is a MacOS X -like dock for the gnome desktop, see www.gnome-dock.org
[05:28] <sahil> im on that site now
[05:28] <sahil> but how do i download it
[05:28] <sahil> there is no button
[05:28] <nuu> shawn34: looks like Dell is making steps forward towards the ubuntu deal (that's why i told you to look at the picture on ubuntu.com), so i'd keep an eye out for that
[05:28] <dr_willis> stefg,  just been using it to convert video to my portable player. :)

[05:28] <Phantomse> Can somebody help me.
[05:28] <jonah> hello anyone around that can help me out please?
[05:28] <Bogaurd> how can I find the UUID of a drive so I can add it to my fstab in feisty?
[05:28] <stefg> sahil: you don't want it then :-)
[05:28] <zero> hi
[05:28] <zero> can i get some help?
[05:28] <nuu> Bogaurd: sudo vol_id /dev/device
[05:28] <t3hwiz0rd> does ayone know how to get sound working on an asus a8jm with snd-intel-hda and ubuntu 7.04?
[05:28] <sahil> i do :D

[05:29] <zero> i'm starting to use beryl and my computer get stuck a lot
[05:29] <nuu> np
[05:29] <dr_willis> techjim,  i tend to let it autoremove
[05:29] <defrysk> techjim, probably dependency tagged packages
[05:29] <overdark> do you recommend using wubi to install linux?
[05:29] <zero> helllo?
[05:30] <stefg> !effects | zero
[05:30] <ubotu> zero: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects.
[05:30] <jonah> hello can anyone please help me out?
[05:30] <sahil> zero that problem happens with me too
[05:30] <jonah> hey guys, i've got a folder of files that need setting to my user group that currently have padlocks on them, is there a command i can use to batch change them all to my user?? i copied them from a cd and permissions are very strange...
[05:30] <techjim> defrysk; dr_willis: it seems like a good idea but their are like 20 progs that came with screenlets.  I guess it's safe.
[05:30] <dr_willis> overdark,  wubi? never heard of it.
[05:30] <zero> sahil: really, and what did you do?
[05:30] <t3hwiz0rd> ive seen that guide to sound before, and it didn't work
[05:30] <t3hwiz0rd> crimsun: I Wish u were around lol
[05:30] <Phantomse> Help me !!! My problem is with my integrated soundcard VIA VT 1708. Do i have to install a specific driver?It appears in hardware info but doesn't function. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/213/470349760_b4bd6c10bd_o.png
[05:30] <Phantomse> Can somebody help me.
[05:30] <nuu> jonah: sudo chown -R youruser:yourgroup /path/to/dir
[05:30] <sahil> zero, nothing, lol, there is nothing you can do. It is very graphics and processor intensive
[05:30] <LjL> techjim, defrysk it's packages that were no installed *explicitly* by the user, but were installed automatically because they were dependencies of something else; and now there is nothing installed anymore that depends on them
[05:30] <overdark> dr_willis: it's a kind of an app that lets you install a linux distro letting your windows untouched "like a virgin"
[05:31] <eriklover> i am green to ubuntu
[05:31] <sahil> zero, i just removed the minimize/unminimize and close window effects

[05:31] <stefg> intelhda | Phantomse
[05:31] <zero> ubotu: i've been looking at my system monitor and it uses to many memory, like 74%, and it doesn't use the swap memory at all, maybe that's the problem
[05:31] <sahil> zero, i just use beryl for the cube effect, and it works fine
[05:31] <stefg> !intelhda | Phantomse
[05:31] <ubotu> Phantomse: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[05:31] <Phantomse> ?
[05:32] <techjim> LjL: Thanks for clarification.  I had that assumption, I just wasn't sure how wise it was to uninstall.  Thanks
[05:32] <defrysk> LjL, only flaw is that when you apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop for example , the whole gnome desktop packageset is slated for autoremove
[05:32] <dr_willis> overdark,  sounds like somthing thats not real usefull to me. :)   most all the disrto installers these days do that job bery well
[05:32] <overdark> dr_willis: well this one didn't do it for me
[05:32] <defrysk> LjL, and that is overkill imho
[05:32] <zero> sahil: i have 1gb ram, 64 mb video ati, and 2.13 centrino with l2 cache memory 2mb
[05:32] <LjL> defrysk: yeppers
[05:32] <deloun> hi, if i import a user account from another distro with the feisty installer, will i still be able to use that same account from the distro from which is imported?
[05:32] <overdark> otherwise i wouldn't have asked for help in here
[05:32] <zero> sahil: it should work well i think
[05:32] <overdark> deloun: of course :D
[05:32] <sahil> zero, i have 1 gig ram, 1.73 centrino, with 256 MB of dedicated graphics
[05:32] <digital_k> zero:with one gig of ram , you dont really need swap.
[05:33] <techjim> LjL; defrysk: thanks for help, i'm freeing up 42mb
[05:33] <overdark> i have 1gb of ram too
[05:33] <LjL> defrysk: well, on the other hand it allows you to try out big metapackages (such as ubuntu-desktop if you're on kubuntu, or kubuntu-desktop if you're on ubuntu) knowing that you can later remove them with a single command
[05:33] <zero> sahil: and it doesnt works well?
[05:33] <CarinArr> depends what you do
[05:33] <digital_k> my laptop has only 768 mbs memory and i have swap turned off.
[05:33] <digital_k> runs fine
[05:33] <sahil> zero,it works well, not great
[05:33] <Neil-> my video on here is awful.. how can I start again? .asx files wont play, and I cant do real either
[05:33] <Neil-> bit annoying
[05:33] <zero> digital_k: but im consuming the 74% of the memory...
[05:33] <CarinArr> i have 2gb of ram and 2gb of swap.. don't use the swap often but it's nice it being there if you have plenty of space hd wise anyway
[05:33] <digital_k> zero: what are you running?
[05:33] <digital_k> lol
[05:33] <zero> digital_k: beryl
[05:33] <CarinArr> i run some quite memory heavy stuff so when i do it's handy
[05:34] <defrysk> LjL, true but an option like "would you like to slate gnome-desktop for autoremove?"might come in handy
[05:34] <zero> sahil: so what do you need to run beryl great?
[05:34] <digital_k> is beryl officially supported by ubuntu?
[05:34] <sahil> zero, its very graphics and processor intensive and even more with effect and if you run a lot of programs.
[05:34] <zero> sahil: the ppl on #ubuntu-effects told me i just needed 34 mb graphics, and 512 ram
[05:35] <SlimeyPete> digital_k: no... only Compiz is. However, beryl and compiz are merging, so presumably in the future their offspring will be supported.
[05:35] <sahil> zero, that's just what you need for it to work
[05:35] <kitche> SlimeyPete: their offspring is called compiz :)
[05:35] <deloun> overdark: well this feature is new and i'm a bit scared that it will cause the user account to not be accesible from the distro from which is imported, did you use it yourself with succes?or anyone else experiences with it?
[05:35] <SlimeyPete> kitche: well, indeed
[05:35] <sahil> zero, for windows vista you need only 512MB of ram but Dell recommends 2 gigs
[05:35] <CarinArr> sahil, i have 512 mb graphics and 2gb ram and the minimise/unminimise things in beryl still look a bit crap i think.. apart from that everything else is very nice though
[05:35] <digital_k> SlimeyPete: thanks for the reply :)
[05:36] <CarinArr> vista uses 600MB after a clean boot for me
[05:36] <ian13> the file browser seems to dislike my FAT32 partition in that when a folder or file name contains ALLCAPS, it shows the name without any caps. Any way to stop this behaviour?
[05:36] <digital_k> you can try to run vista on 512, all you get is vista classic tho
[05:36] <digital_k> no eyecandy
