[00:00] <Zorix> soundray, just for browsing and chatting
[00:00] <bobertdos> martin__: I've actually been recommending the RC2 of flash 10 to people.

[00:01] <Fat_Man> Trying to bulk rename files in terminal using the command " rename 's/(.*) - (.*)\.(.*) / $2 - $1.$3/'* " which worked perfectly the night before last.  Today when I try to use it after entering the command terminal responds with " reading filenames from STDIN " and stops for good at that point.  Any ideas as to how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated.
[00:01] <Spherous> soundray, ahhh its worse, everything is bigger and I can't make it smaller! the best res I can use is 640x480 with 54HZ for refresh!
[00:01] <bobertdos> martin__: Well, because it's still in development, it's only available in a direct download from Adobe Labs.
[00:01] <soundray> jakisktos: oh, you're dual-booting, you should have said.
[00:01] <nananuu> can some one help me with dosbox? I dont understadnd realy the guige in internet

[00:02] <unop> Fat_Man, make sure you have a space between the command and the glob.
[00:02] <bobertdos> martin__: using flash 9 with libflashsupport?
[00:02] <cilkay> randy: I have Kubuntu as the base system with packages from Edubuntu and UbuntuStudio installed. The only conflicts I encountered were with themes, which I don't care about anyway. I just removed the Edubuntu and UbuntuStudio themes.
[00:02] <soundray> jakisktos: wubi?
[00:02] <Zorix> soundray, oh.. do you use ubuntu on it?
[00:03] <unop> Fat_Man, rename 's/(.*) - (.*)\.(.*) / $2 - $1.$3/'  *
[00:03] <soundray> Zorix: yes
[00:03] <jakisktos> soundray: right
[00:03] <Zorix> soundray, awesome..sounds good
[00:03] <Arctic> ummm...before I get totally embaressed, would someone give me a command on how to extract that Blender tar to /opt? Ehem!

[00:03] <Fat_Man> unop: Will give it a run right now....
[00:03] <passive> can anyone help me with that GNOME thing ??
[00:03] <pyMonty> Does anyone know why flashplugin-nonfree doesn't have transparency in firefox?
[00:03] <cilkay> Fat_Man: If you have lots of files, you might have to use find because bash will run out of stack space.
[00:03] <Spherous> soundray, any ideas on what to do now?
[00:04] <soundray> Zorix: I don't want to put you off the VIA Epia platform entirely -- they certainly have their uses
[00:04] <lina> Arctic: what tar, is it a package or sources?
[00:04] <techsupport> bobertdos, i understand, i'm talking in #samba now
[00:04] <soundray> Spherous: thinking
[00:04] <randy> is their anyway to get a good working internet explorer
[00:04] <lina> randy: no, not even on Windows
[00:04] <Arctic> Martin: tar.bz2
[00:04] <unop> Fat_Man, you could write this to do the very same thing.   rename 's/(.*) - (.*)\. / $2 - $1./'  *
[00:04] <Zorix> soundray, what do you think epia is useful for?
[00:04] <randy> lol
[00:04] <randy> true
[00:04] <martin__> artic: ar u asking me?
[00:04] <Arctic> Lina: sorry
[00:04] <Spherous> randy, why do you want to use internet explorer?
[00:04] <Ulairion> my video drivers went FUBAR after installing.... I can't go over 800x600... help please
[00:05] <pyMonty> So can anyone fix my flash transparency issue in firefox?
[00:05] <lina> Arctic: tar xjvf <filename>.tar.bz2, is it a binary or sources though?
[00:05] <soundray> Zorix: when you need a PCI card, for example to build a DVB-enabled media box
[00:05] <jewbilee> How do I install flash for firefox?
[00:05] <jakisktos> soundray: and my windows is not hibernatesd
[00:05] <pyMonty> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, jewbilee
[00:05] <Spherous> randy, I mean you have plenty of other choices, if you use Gnome, Firefox, Chomium, Opera, or on KDE you have that one that comes installed on it
[00:05] <soundray> jakisktos: does Ethernet work when you boot from a live CD?
[00:05] <Zorix> soundray, the eeepc doesnt have a lot of hd space though
[00:05] <jewbilee> pyMonty: i did that but its still not working
[00:05] <Fat_Man> unop:  Bingo!  Space as you noted was missing!  Thank you!
[00:05] <randy> just like to have all of them
[00:06] <jakisktos> soundray: no
[00:06] <lina> Spherous: "Chomium", you mean "Chromium"?
[00:06] <soundray> Zorix: that's true
[00:06] <Spherous> lina, yeah yeah, that. haha
[00:06] <trashguy> WHY
[00:06] <trashguy> would u want ie
[00:06] <Spherous> lina, missed the r~ haha
[00:06] <soundray> jakisktos: did you spell Ethernet with a capital E in that command?
[00:06] <lina> Spherous: that's a library AFAIK
[00:06] <Arctic> Lina: It's Blender Tar, that I am trying to install in /opt/blender
[00:06] <aleatorio> $ xbacklight -set 50
[00:06] <aleatorio> No outputs have backlight property
[00:06] <aleatorio> how to solve it?
[00:06] <Spherous> lina, O.o, I used it before, its like the linux version of google chrome~
[00:07] <jakisktos> soundray: any other ideas
[00:07] <lina> Arctic: tar xjvf <filename>.tar.bz2
[00:07] <Fat_Man> cilkay:  only 100 files per directory max.  Did 5 directories the other night and all worked well so will continue with what I have.  Thanks for input!  Cheers!
[00:07] <Spherous> Lina, you have to compile it though
[00:07] <lina> Spherous: oh, I thought it was just the library, like libmozlib
[00:07] <Spherous> lina, nope~
[00:07] <soundray> Spherous: I think you could try to run nvidia-xconfig to create a new xorg.conf
[00:07] <martin__> lina: just extract it to some folder
[00:08] <soundray> jakisktos: did you spell Ethernet with a capital E in that command?
[00:08] <martin__> then compile it,
[00:08] <lina> martin__: Arctic ^
[00:08] <Arctic> nope, it's self sustained
[00:08] <Spherous> soundray, explain how~ when I run sudo nvidia-xconfig in a shell it just spits out some stuff then gives me a new line to type on
[00:08] <perillux> I previously had gcc version 4.3 and I need to use version 4.2 or lower.  So I just installed gcc version 4.2 but I don't know how to use that one.  Anytime I try and compile it is still using 4.3.  Any help?
[00:08] <jakisktos> soundray: yes, new empty line break was appear
[00:09] <soundray> Spherous: put that some-stuff on a pastebin
[00:09] <lina> perillux: gcc-4.2
[00:09] <soundray> !pastebin > Spherous
[00:09] <randy> what kind of program could i use to my my own explorer
[00:09] <soundray> jakisktos: could you run 'lspci' and pastebin the output
[00:09] <soundray> !pastebin > jakisktos
[00:09] <LordFDisk> Spherous, try the Package EnvyNG
[00:10] <jewbilee> How do I install flash player on firefox, I did sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree but firefox still will not play flash

[00:10] <aaron_> are there any jobs with ubuntu for tech support specialist not a developer?
[00:10] <perillux> lina: thanks lina.  However, it is compiling with a makefile.  how do I fix this?  can I just go into the makfile and make some changes?
[00:10] <soundray> LordFDisk: that's what he's done. Can you guide to the next step?
[00:10] <ubuntu_todd> ubuntu_todd;
[00:10] <LordFDisk> really ?
[00:10] <linny> ive got a funny bugi just upgraded to intrepid today and every time i open firefox it goes to full screen mode and f11 wont rectify it any ideas ?
[00:10] <lina> perillux: yeah. there may be an "update-gcc-alternatives", I'm not sure
[00:11] <jakisktos> soundray: i didn`t found nothing about lan or ethernet cards
[00:11] <LordFDisk> hemmm it should have installed everything
[00:11] <soundray> Spherous: looks like you need to restart X server (ctrl-Alt-Backspace)
[00:11] <alphaman1101> What is the command to go into display properties?? sudo gtk something isntit?
[00:11] <lina> perillux: I'm certain that java had a similar update-*-alternatives
[00:11] <Spherous> soundray, alright. brb
[00:11] <godlygeek> how can i get hal/dbus to unload a module before Suspend and reload it after?
[00:11] <linny> alphaman1101: gksudo
[00:11] <bobertdos> jewbilee: Are you running a 64-bit system?
[00:11] <perillux> lina: but how do I change it in the makefile.  I don't see any lines that I could change from gcc to gcc-4.2.  I did a search in it for gcc and it had no results.
[00:11] <jakisktos> soundray: if i type ifnofig appears only lo device
[00:11] <DIFH-iceroot> why is there a blank space on the left side in my prompt? export PS1="\033[31m\]\u@\h:\033[0m\]"
[00:12] <Spherous> soundray, it didn't change anything
[00:12] <jewbilee> bobertdos: sorry, I just actually restarted firefox and its working, thanks though
[00:12] <alphaman1101> linny, no   that gives a run dialog. i need something that edits the display proerties
[00:12] <bobertdos> lina, perillux: it does, sudo update=java-alternatives
[00:12] <soundray> jakisktos: could you run 'lspci' and pastebin the output
[00:12] <LordFDisk> solds to me that they might need to load the Vid Driver from the command line out of X-Windows
[00:12] <AzizLight> how can I make konsole transparent in gnome pleasE?
[00:12] <atmat> hello, anyone running ubuntu on mac-intel?
[00:12] <randy> is slackware a good os
[00:12] <atmat> randy: no
[00:12] <DIFH-iceroot> alphaman1101: vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:12] <zeno__> i start firefox and hit restore previous session, but it just sits forever.  no errors (even on command line)
[00:12] <atmat> randy: running slackware on 2008 is idiotic
[00:12] <soundray> Spherous: can you change resolutions in System-Preferences-Screen Resolution?
[00:12] <perillux> bobertdos: lina: but what exactly does that do?
[00:12] <DIFH-iceroot> AzizLight: profle settings for the terminal
[00:12] <LordFDisk> oops solds = Sounds
[00:12] <thomc> what's the command to mount an external hard drive with read/write permissions?
[00:13] <alphaman1101> DIFH-iceroot:  im not getting into that. there was a gui for it.   sudo display-gtk or something
[00:13] <randy> what about lindowns
[00:13] <Spherous> soundray, yeah, but only to make everything bigger, my smallest res there is 600x480
[00:13] <Quinn_Storm> I'm trying out ibex and getting an annoying issue -- networkmanager recognizes my Sierra 881U just fine but it fails to actually connect with it.  The log has it giving up right after 'associating with network' (the AT+COPS line) going 'Setting APN Failed' (though it never set the apn based on that, and I've tried the built-in apn setting for at&t as well as the one I use when I dial it with wvdial.)  It also doesn't use the righ
[00:13] <godlygeek> atmat: i run hardy and debian sid on my macbook.
[00:13] <AzizLight> DIFH-iceroot: I tried that it doesnt work, I get a solid color instead everytime
[00:13] <perillux> bobertdos, lina: I don't want gcc-4.2 permanently.  I just need to compile 1 thing and then I can get rid of it
[00:13] <mneptok> Aziz! LIGHT!
[00:13] <mneptok> thank you Aziz.
[00:13] <Spherous> LordFDisk, I already ran the driver out of a shell with the x server closed
[00:13] <soundray> Spherous: try configuring your display with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk'
[00:13] <thomc> lol
[00:13] <askand> I am not able to slideshow ppt files with latest RC of openoffice, anyone knows why this can be? Using RC3 and Ubuntu 8.04
[00:13] <lina> perillux: well, use it and uninstall it
[00:14] <soundray> !intrepid > Quinn_Storm
[00:14] <bobertdos> perillux: What are you needing to compile?
[00:14] <perillux> bobertdos, lina: but I don't know how lina, that's why I'm asking.
[00:14] <Spherous> soundray, its the same there
[00:15] <perillux> bobertdos, lina: bobertdos I need to compile something with a makefile
[00:15] <nixcc3> f
[00:15] <randy> how do i change the screen resolution on the log in screen
[00:15] <perillux> bobertdos: but if I just run the makefile as is, then it will use gcc version 4.3
[00:15] <soundray> Spherous: even if you select a generic display with an appropriate resolution?
[00:15] <Spherous> soundray, I selected the driver by make and model now, gonna restart and see if that fixes it
[00:15] <gnychis> i know there's a good disk space utility for linux that gives you an idea which folders are taking up the most space,etc... but i can't think of the name, anyone?
[00:16] <perillux> bobertdos: so I'm wondering how I can run the makefile with gcc-4.2  I thought I could just open up the makefile and change all the lines that say "gcc" to "gcc-4.2" but it doesn't have "gcc" anywhere in it
[00:16] <zeno__> gnychis: du -hs *
[00:16] <soundray> perillux: 'sudo apt-get install gcc-4.2', then go to /usr/bin and find out which links point to 4.3. Change all of them to point to 4.2
[00:16] <zeno__> gnychis: if you want a gui search for disk in your package manager
[00:16] <martin__> gnychis: it's on application > accesorics > disk usage bla bla
[00:17] <perillux> soundray: how am I supposed to "find out which links point to 4.3" ?
[00:17] <xim_> i have an external ntfs drive that is alwayys giving me trouble.  does linux have a utility that might help me diagnose whats wrong with it?
[00:17] <randy> what program would i use to log on to someones computer
[00:17] <ompaul> z
[00:17] <soundray> perillux: 'ls -l /usr/bin | grep ^l | grep 4.3'
[00:17] <ompaul> randy, usually ssh
[00:18] <perillux> soundray: bobertdos: lina: it sounds like you all are giving me permanent ways to convert to 4.2.  I just want to compile a single file with it.
[00:18] <martin__> anyone have ever used playonlinux?
[00:18] <soundray> perillux: this is permanent for as long as you don't change the links back to point to 4.3
[00:18] <Spherous> soundray: Okay, my idea didn't work
[00:18] <Spherous> soundray, what was that line again?
[00:19] <ompaul> xim_, put it into a windows box, run the defrag stuff and so forth and then have a new look at it, btw it is more offtopic than on topic here
[00:19] <perillux> soundray: earlier you told me to install 4.2 (i've now done that) and then you said I just have to edit the makefile.  is that still an option?
[00:19] <martin__> anyone ever have success in running wow on ubuntu?
[00:19] <soundray> Spherous: I'm not going to repeat anything for you. If you value my advice, you make a note.
[00:19] <ompaul> wow
[00:19] <martin__> no one here here ever installed wow?
[00:19] <martin__> ompal: world of warcraft
[00:20] <soundray> perillux: no, you said that the makefile does not call gcc directly. So change the links.
[00:20] <ompaul> martin__, search wiki.ubuntu.com there is a help page there
[00:20] <Spherous> soundray, O.o I was just wondering the line to open that screen up again, the gtk something one~ I didn't write it down and since I rebooted I don't have it in the chat anymore
[00:20] <godlygeek> martin__: i've seen it played through wine with no problems.
[00:20] <martin__> i did,. but i got some problem
[00:20] <kitche> martin__: wine works good just follow their instructions that they have as well if you get confused
[00:20] <martin__> i did everything
[00:20] <martin__> but no sound after i fixed graphic
[00:20] <soundray> Spherous: 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk'
[00:21] <martin__> everything works fine, but no sound on wow and shift key is not working either
[00:21] <Spherous> soundray, yeah that one.  I'm going to try the generic monitor like you said, but it asks for a driver, where do I find the driver for it?
[00:21] <martin__> what about pulseaudio? should i replace it with alsa?
[00:21] <soundray> Spherous: it shouldn't ask for a driver
[00:21] <xim_> ompaul: hmm ok i figured i could trust linux based diagnostic utilities more but ill ask in ##windows
[00:22] <besthair> ciao
[00:22] <besthair> !
[00:22] <perillux> soundray: ok I ran that command and I found which files have 4.3 in it.  Do I have to manually open each one and replace the 4.3 with 4.2?
[00:22] <ompaul> martin__, search wiki.ubuntu.com there is a help page there read it again
[00:22] <Spherous> Soundray, well I clicked LCD Panel 1024x768 and hit add, and it asks for a driver
[00:22] <bobertdos> perillux: Read the manpage for GCC. I know there's a target option for specifying the version in there somewhere.
[00:23] <ompaul> martin__,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[00:23] <Spherous> soundray, nevermind, I should of pressed ok.  wants me to restart again, brb
[00:23] <soundray> perillux: no. Example, when you update cpp, you type 'sudo ln -sf cpp-4.2 cpp'
[00:23] <slammed87d21> what do i type in console to figure out what wireless card im using?
[00:23] <soundray> perillux: (assuming that you did a 'cd /usr/bin' at some point before that
[00:23] <soundray> )
[00:23] <martin__> ompaul: that's what i've been followed but i can't hear anysound, even i followed it's instruction
[00:23] <dergringo> hey I just used the lice cd to boot my system. How do I access the local encryptet partition?
[00:23] <dergringo> live
[00:23] <slammed87d21> what do i type in console to figure out what wireless card im using?
[00:24] <mn> lspci -i | grep wireless slammed87d21
[00:24] <perillux> soundray: I don't follow...  all I did was sudo apt-get install gcc-4.2  and then I ran that command you gave me "ls -l /usr/bin | grep ^l | grep 4.3"
[00:24] <HNSZ> I try stall kubuntu on my laptop bat after i've selected the language the display just showes horizantal bars.
[00:24] <soundray> slammed87d21: it depends on which bus it is connected to
[00:24] <kitche> HNSZ: #kubuntu for help
[00:25] <mn> slammed87d21 did that get it?
[00:25] <soundray> perillux: that command gave you a list of links in /usr/bin that point to components of gcc-4.3. Now you should do a 'cd /usr/bin' to change to that directory
[00:25] <daigorobr> Hello, upon inspection of dmesg, I noticed that boot time is halted for a long time "checking for custom DSDT". Is there any way to stop this check?
[00:25] <soundray> perillux: when you're there, replace those links in the way I explained for cpp
[00:25] <slammed87d21> it said there was an argument with -i
[00:26] <techsupport> how can i restart winbind ?
[00:26] <ompaul> martin__, never did wow but I would suggest that you do no music or you tube just to check it
[00:27] <soundray> perillux: I hope you don't mind me saying it, but if you have such little understanding, you should really stick with released versions... Betas are for testing -- not ideal for newcomers
[00:27] <mn> "lspci -i | grep wireless" slammed87d21 type all of that in the same line without the quotes (btw an argument is not something negative, it's just input)
[00:27] <martin__> ompaul, well, first i got everything working fine. but after i installed pulse audio
[00:27] <martin__> it just gone
[00:27] <slammed87d21> ok, just a sec
[00:27] <HNSZ> I have a core2duo t5670, How do I know if it's 64bit for choosing the right download?
[00:27] <perillux> soundray: ya I know..  But I was asked by the kernel dev team to test out Intrepid because I was having suspend/hibernate problems and intrepid automatically comes with 4.3
[00:28] <soundray> HNSZ: it is 64bit compatible, but you can install the 32bit version just as well
[00:28] <mn> Well, .wine got deleted.  Is there any way I can just get the default .wine folder back?
[00:28] <perillux> soundray: but anyways....   so for example.  I would change the link "cpp" from "cpp-4.3" to "cpp-4.2"  correct?  and if so, sorry but... how?
[00:28] <RickZilla> Creative Soundblaster Live Value installed on my computer, for some reason I'm not getting any sound...anybody want to take a stab at how to go about troubleshooting this?  Thanks in advance for your help
[00:28] <whitehawk> hi
[00:28] <soundray> perillux: I told you. Too bad you missed it
[00:28] <ompaul> martin__, why did you do that?
[00:28] <slammed87d21> it brought up the same thing again
[00:29] <michael> I just loaded ubuntu and I have a littletrouble with the web browser
 perillux: no. Example, when you update cpp, you type 'sudo ln -sf cpp-4.2 cpp'
[00:29] <mn> slammed87d21
[00:29] <mn> let me see
[00:29] <slammed87d21> yes?
[00:29] <illovae> hi
[00:29] <michael> It won't accept tds.net
[00:29] <bobertdos> HNSZ: and truth be told, unless you have 4 gigs of RAM or more, the 64-bit version doesn't do you incredibly much good (as long as you're not a stickler about benchmark speeds)
[00:29] <ajzimmerman> I need some help. I installed Hardy Ubuntu on one Hard drive, (second on the list) (Third is for backup), and before that I had XP. XP is on the first hd. Grub was installed on the second hd, so grub doesn't load during start up. When I make the computer start up from the second hd with UBuntu on it, and I select xp from the list, it doesn't load. I'd like to be able to load grub at startup automatically, and be able to access both os's.
[00:29] <soundray> perillux: make a note of which ones you changed, so you can change them back when you're done compiling
[00:29] <bustaplz> In Fedora there is a way to set default runlevel to stop the GUI from booting, what is the way to do this in Ubuntu?
[00:29] <martin__> ompaul: just want to try out new stuff...
[00:30] <unop> soundray, perillux - don't mine me interrupting - but isn't this a reason why you should be using alternatives
[00:30] <Eisenhower> any french speakers here?
[00:30] <unop> s/mine/mind/
[00:30] <martin__> what exactly is pulseaudio though?
[00:30] <bobertdos> !pulse | martin__
[00:30] <soundray> unop: alternatives doesn't support gcc in hardy... has that changed in intrepid?
[00:30] <michael> So, how do I get all pages to load?
[00:31] <ompaul> martin__. http://www.linux.com/feature/119926  found this on google
[00:31] <mn> slammed87d21 sorry it's "lspci | grep Wireless" without the quotes.  That should do it
[00:31] <martin__> obottu: do we really need it? is that the same kind like alsa?
[00:31] <RickZilla> Creative Soundblaster Live Value installed on my computer, for some reason I'm not getting any sound...anybody want to take a stab at how to go about troubleshooting this? Thanks in advance for your help
[00:31] <whitehawk> how does ubuntu control OSD (for example when I adjust the volume) I mean with what app does it display it?
[00:31] <techsupport> can anyone give me some guidelines in editing /etc/nsswitch.conf
[00:31] <techsupport>
[00:31] <Bigshot_> I just installled DIA-0.94 I am wondeirng how to start it?
[00:32] <unop> soundray, hmm, alternatives should work for anything - basically all it does is create symlinks for you but with multiple intermediaries in /etc/alternatives - so you can switch easily between them using update-alternatives
[00:32] <bobertdos> martin__: It's basically an extension of ALSA, brand new to Hardy, which is why it still has some bugs.
[00:32] <martin__> bobertdos: thanks, can i just uninstall it then?
[00:32] <techsupport> or another words i need help with getting samba to join my domain and share a hard drive with windows
[00:33] <martin__> bobertdos: it seems like i messedup /etc/asound.conf
[00:33] <bobertdos> martin__: I wouldn't recommend it. Pulse and Alsa are somewhat intertwined.
[00:33] <Bigshot_> does anyone know how to start DIA-0.94 after installing it?
[00:33] <Guest12635> aj my info might be out dated but i believe windows :-( insists on starting first
[00:33] <^DeathKiNG^> [KiNGScript] Test
[00:34] <soundray> unop: please go ahead and tell perillux that... For me, update-alternatives gcc has never worked (unlike e.g. for java)
[00:34] <ChryLimeade> Rickzilla: Try clicking System > Preferences > Sound Preferences.  See if your card is at least listed.
[00:34] <Bigshot_> hey ChryLimeade do you know how to start DIA after installing it?
[00:34] <caitlin_> Can someone help me figure out why I'm getting no sound? Someone patient because I'm computer illiterate
[00:34] <bustaplz> Can anyone tell me what run level I would need to set to boot without GUI and possibly how to set that?
[00:35] <RickZilla> ChryLimeade:  Yeah, it's listed on the device list
[00:35] <ChryLimeade> Bigshot, I don't, I haven't had any experience with that.  Sorry man.
[00:35] <kitche> bustaplz: runlevel 3 which ubuntu uses by default you have to use a command like update-init.d or something to disable gdm from starting on boot
[00:35] <ChryLimeade> rickzilla: but just plain no sound?  that's weird.
[00:35] <soundray> bustaplz: you can boot in single user mode by selecting Recovery mode from the grub menu at boot time
[00:35] <RickZilla> nope, no sound at all
[00:36] <martin__> bobertdos: so how do i get around it?
[00:36] <caitlin_> well, it makes a noise when I turn the computer on..but no other time
[00:36] <bustaplz> I'm not sure I want single user mode. This machine will be headless and I just want to disable I guess X or gdm to save resources.
[00:36] <RickZilla> I'm not sure where to go from here
[00:36] <bustaplz> I've done this on Fedora in the past but can't seem to figure it out for Ubuntu.
[00:36] <soundray> bustaplz: in that case you shouldn't mess with runlevels
[00:36] <ChryLimeade> yea, the fact that it's listed but just doesn't work is odd to me.
[00:37] <bustaplz> Okay, so should I be telling gdm or X not to run on boot?
[00:37] <soundray> bustaplz: just 'sudo update-rc.d gdm remove'
[00:37] <bobertdos> martin__: Other than switching gstreamer-properties and the rest of the sound settings to Alsa, there's not a whole lot you can do safely.
[00:37] <zeno__> on hitting play test sound i get audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused
[00:37] <martin__> bobertdos: how do u switch gstreamer-properties?
[00:37] <soundray> bustaplz: Ubuntu uses upstart, which is a modern replacement for the old SysV style runlevels and stuff that Fedora has
[00:37] <ChryLimeade> Rickzilla:  Try going to System > Administration > hardwre drivers.  Does it say there are any problems?
[00:38] <bustaplz> oh okay
[00:38] <martin__> bobertdos: are u talking about one specific program, "gstreamer" or the whole system?
[00:38] <bustaplz> i'll try that command and get back to you, thanks for the help
[00:38] <martin__> linux sound is confusing
[00:38] <ChryLimeade> (yea, it is)
[00:38] <bustaplz> do I need to stop gdm first?
[00:39] <soundray> bustaplz: no
[00:39] <soundray> bustaplz: the command only removes the startup links
[00:39] <RickZilla> ChryLimeade:  none listed there
[00:39] <zeno__> is intrepid ibis out? package manager jsut started dist-upgrade!
[00:39] <martin__> can someone recommend the best setup for linux sound? like which packages
[00:40] <kitche> zeno__: nope it's beta from what I can see
[00:40] <Joshooa> Hey the pages displayed in my firefox never reach the edges of my screen, even when I zoom in, the stuff gets bigger but the formatting makes to big white bars run down the side. How can I make pages load in the entire firefox window so I can actually see them the way they are supposed to be? I have to magnify EVERY page at LEAST three times to even attempt to read it. (My monitor is also not that great) Does anyone know why Firefox won
[00:41] <IamSOG> um/.. how can I set up my xubuntu hardware? it doesn't detect my sound card, or do I need to run menuconfig ?
[00:41] <Spherous> soundray: Hey, when I rebooted it, it put me in low-graphics mode
[00:41] <Spherous> soundray: and my res is now 800x600, still far off from what it should be
[00:42] <Joshooa> If I change page style to no style, it looks like crap but goes to the edges, but basic page style looks better but it all skinny and narrow. ANyone?
[00:42] <ChryLimeade> Rickzilla:  try this.  Go into terminal, and type alsamixer and it'll show a list of different volume levels. are anything like "master" or "pcm" turned all the way down?
[00:42] <soundray> Spherous: is it running displayconfig-gtk for you?
[00:42] <Spherous> soundray: yeah
[00:43] <RickZilla> Just 3D control, and Surround
[00:43] <soundray> Spherous: are all the settings in there sensible?
[00:43] <Tigre_> oh my god, 1322 users :S
[00:43] <Spherous> soundray, what do you mean?
[00:44] <ChryLimeade> hmmm...well, at least try turning those up (press left and right, then up and down to adjust volume), it atleast wouldn't hurt.  See if that makes any difference.
[00:44] <iShock> Hi guys, any guides to installing PHP-GTK on 8.04?
[00:44] <soundray> Spherous: go through all the settings and make sure they are what you expect
[00:44] <diogo> hey everyone I have a dell vostro 1000 and found out that for some reason ubuntu works better on my dell laptop... I wonder would ubuntu uses some specific patches so it happens?
[00:45] <RickZilla> ChryLimeade:  They don't turn up or down
[00:45] <ChryLimeade> Ohhh...hmm.
[00:45] <RickZilla> I did find a driver that might work, though...how do I install those?
[00:45] <Spherous> soundray:  well I don't expect the monitor to be Plug 'n 'play
[00:45] <iShock> Hi guys, any guides to installing PHP-GTK on 8.04?
[00:45] <Spherous> soundray, or the res to be 800x600
[00:45] <soundray> Spherous: so change them appropriately
[00:46] <Spherous> soundray, the res wont go up to what it should be
[00:46] <Spherous> soundray, it sets 800x600 to the maximum
[00:46] <soundray> Spherous: just switch away from the Plug and Play default
[00:46] <ChryLimeade> rickzilla:  I'm going to send you a URL, hang on.
[00:46] <zeno__> alsa cannot load drivers hmmm

[00:57] <Guest80621> il y a na qui parle francais
[00:57] <Nitecon> Use the item already installed under SYSTEM > PREFERENCES > Remote Desktop
[00:57] <DaveKong> I installed ubuntu on a second hard drive and made a /boot partition and told the installer to use that partition to install the boot loader but boot and get the old one still
[00:57] <Nitecon> you can configure the ubuntu side there.
[00:58] <Spherous> Can anyone tell me how to pretty much do a 'system restore' on ubuntu to like 3 hours ago?
[00:58] <martin__> can EVGA e-GeForce 8400GS Graphics Card run compiz smoothly?
[00:58] <_haywire_> can anybody tell me if there's a fix for running mirc scripts in wine when the script complains about spaces in the script directory
[00:58] <Spherous> martin__, yes, easily
[00:58] <DaveKong> do I need move physically move switch the hard disks locations and if I do that will it screw things up because the system will think the locations are the old ones
[00:58] <bravo7> Nitecon What is vncviewer bravo7-desktop:0 use for???????
[00:58] <martin__> Spherous, and do u know if it could handle 3d game like call of duty 4 or wow?
[00:59] <martin__> Spherous, i found it's really cheap and now time to switch
[00:59] <Spherous> martin__, lol yeah it will, I have a 7950 and I can run COD4 on full, your like 5 steps up from me
[00:59] <avis> how do i zero out the mbr of a certain hard drive ?
[01:00] <Nitecon> vncviewer is so you can connect from windows xp or vista to ubuntu
[01:00] <martin__> Spherous, it's only 30 bucks, after rebate anyone want to upgrade: http://www.buy.com/prod/evga-e-geforce-8400gs-graphics-card-nvidia-geforce-8400gs-459mhz-512mb/q/loc/101/206709003.html
[01:00] <Nitecon> http://www.uvnc.com/
[01:00] <Nitecon> thats a site to get it for your xp/vista box
[01:00] <Oxygenfa1> If I have an ubuntu 64bit cd from 7.10 , will I be able to upgrade to hardy within that os ? Or will I have to download the image and reinstall everything all over again? I'm saying this because I am about to install, but want hardy 64. Can't wait for ISO to download : )
[01:00] <reticula> is there a gui app to set up a laptop as a router
[01:00] <reticula> ??
[01:01] <bravo7> uvnc.com
[01:01] <Nitecon> then just make sure your remote desktop is set up on the ubuntu side with SYSTEM > PREFERENCES > Remote Desktop
[01:01] <martin__> Spherous, have u ever installed wow on ubuntu? does it work properly?
[01:01] <Spherous> martin__, crapy fan on it
[01:01] <bravo7> Nitecon i can't get into uvnc.com
[01:01] <Nitecon> yep thats it
[01:01] <favro> !who | Nitecon
[01:01] <Nitecon> use www infront
[01:01] <specialchar> Good morning. I'm having a strange problem. if i run a program (bacula) from the command line, then listens in the background. if i run it from init.d, it doesn't stay running? any ideas?
[01:01] <Spherous> martin__, yeah, its hard as hell to get to work with Wine, but I haven't tried it with Cedega yet
[01:01] <bobertdos> reticula: If by router, you mean firewall, you could use firestarter. It's a frontend for iptables, really.
[01:01] <_haywire_> what's good about it?
[01:02] <martin__> Spherous, so have u ever got it working? i could only played it but no sound
[01:02] <bravo7> Nitecon so when i download it i i punch in the vncviewer bravo7-desktop:0
[01:02] <godlygeek> mounting a drive by double clicking in nautilus gives "Cannot mount volume" "You are not privileged to mount this volume"... why not?  How are permissions being determined?
[01:02] <Spherous> martin__, yes I did get it working
[01:02] <DaveKong> Oxygenfa1: If you save your /home directory you should be able to reload it or you may simply be able to choose load profile from the old install during the new installation
[01:02] <bravo7> Nitecon and the password
[01:02] <martin__> Spherous, can u post ur conf file?
[01:03] <zeno__> sudo dkpg --configure -a Setting up bluez-gnome (0.25-0ubuntu1) ... <forever>
[01:03] <DaveKong> Oxygenfa1:  You may also run a command to upgrade instead of installing from an iso
[01:03] <Spherous> martin__, but like I said, it was hard to do.  Don't expect any help from Blizz either, they would rather you spend 200$ on a Windows key to play their game than to help you with linux, even if it meant canceling your subscription
[01:03] <martin__> Spherous, i just removed everything
[01:03] <specialchar> Why would a service not stay running from init.d? no errors when it runs the script, and runs fine when calling directly
[01:03] <Spherous> martin__, I don't have it anymore
[01:03] <bobertdos> godlygeek: Manual mounting is accomplished via the terminal, using sudo.
[01:03] <Nitecon> bravo7 you will just click to allow other users to view my desktop, and allow it to be controlled
[01:04] <martin__> Spherous, thanks though
[01:04] <AlabamaHit> Is there a way to Dim the screen.....Im on a desktop....
[01:04] <reticula> bobertdos: i have wireless 1900mghz connection here from my work. i want to plug in my router so i can get other copies of ubuntu updated at home on other computers (the old ones).
[01:04] <Spherous> martin__ I would try using Cedega though, even though you have to pay, its a supported game and their tech support will help you with getting it set up
[01:04] <passive> finally It almost working the failsafe Gnome is running in  1024*768 mode but GNOME in the main sessions gives me a blank page!
[01:04] <Nitecon> bravo7 then you can enable a password, and on the windows machine with ultra vnc you just type in the ubuntu machine's ip address.
[01:04] <Oxygenfa1> Thanks DaveKong
[01:04] <bastid_raZor> AlabamaHit; if you're using compiz possibly.. you could ask in #compiz-fusion to verify
[01:04] <passive> is there a problem to use failsafe  instead of the main GNOME session ?
[01:04] <godlygeek> bobertdos: i know that.  i want to figure out why automatic mounting doesn't work.
[01:04] <Spherous> martin__ Cedega is only 25$ for a 6 month subscription, and 45$ for a year
[01:05] <Spherous> !info cedega | martin__
[01:05] <bravo7> Nitecon how would i check the ipaddress of ubuntu
[01:05] <godlygeek> bobertdos: i *can* mount it with "sudo mount", but not with "gnome-mount"
[01:05] <martin__> Spherous, do u think it's a big different between Radeon ATI intergrated and GeForce 8400 512 MB?
[01:05] <JoeBaena> join #ubuntu-co
[01:05] <Nitecon> bravo7 in the terminal type ifconfig
[01:05] <martin__> obttu, it doesn't ?
[01:05] <bobertdos> godlygeek: Have you added an fstab entry for the drive?
[01:05] <Spherous> martin__ unless your going back to Windows, don't use ATI
[01:05] <GReeK_RiDeR> S
[01:05] <sojanhu> can anybody help me I want to see my desktop on my tv how does that work?
[01:06] <Nitecon> bravo7 that will display your ip address, the address you need is associated with eth0
[01:06] <Spherous> martin__ they work horribly with linux, NVIDIA is the best~
[01:06] <martin__> Spherous, that's what i have right now, ATI intergrated on board 128mb
[01:06] <aaron_> anybody have problem with firefox crasshing
[01:06] <godlygeek> bobertdos: no.  i don't want to have to do that; i want it to handle /dev/sda4 like it would handle a flash drive being added.
[01:06] <Spherous> martin__ put the NVIDIA in
[01:06] <martin__> Spherous, no wonder :0p
[01:06] <martin__> i don't have it yet, but soon :-)
[01:07] <Nitecon> bravo7 if you prefer you can right click on the icon in the system tray named Wired network connection and click on connection info
[01:07] <Spherous> martin__ Alright
[01:07] <bobertdos> godlygeek: An external drive, eh?
[01:07] <RyanPrior> My USB subsystem just died. Can somebody help me restore it without having to reboot my computer?
[01:07] <martin__> Spherous, i'll order it right now
[01:07] <Spherous> So, anyone able to tell me how to do a 'system restore' to 3-4 hours ago?
[01:07] <bravo7> Nitecon  I only see Ip address " <IP_ADDRESS> which is the home
[01:07] <godlygeek> bobertdos: no, it's a local drive that i want to mount on click, rather than in a terminal, but not mount at boot.
[01:08] <martin__> Shperous, and one more thing, what kind of config do use for sound? ALSA , OGG or pulse?do u use pulse?
[01:08] <Spherous> martin__ ALSA
[01:08] <godlygeek> bobertdos: actually, i guess i can add a line to /etc/fstab with noauto...
[01:08] <dr_willis> godlygeek,  you can use the 'noauto' option in the fstab file to do that.
[01:08] <Spherous> martin__ Its OSS, not OGG, by the way~ haha
[01:08] <Nitecon> bravo7 are you on the ubuntu machine right now?
[01:08] <dr_willis> godlygeek,  and the 'user' or 'users' option would let a user mount/unmount the drive.. (i forget which one, user, or users)
[01:08] <martin__> Spherous, hehe.... and i don't think u could restore. but for some file like xorg.conf it has their own backups
[01:08] <RyanPrior> Spherous: there is no system restore unless you make regular backups.
[01:09] <martin__> Spherous, what do u want to restore?
[01:09] <Nitecon> bravo7 I will be afk for a few
[01:09] <godlygeek> yeah, i don't know why i didn't think of just using noauto until i was prodded here... thanks dr_willis, bobertdos
[01:10] <bobertdos> godlygeek: that would probably be best.......otherwise, I was going to suggest you could gksudo into Nautilus :p
[01:10] <Spherous> martin__, I messed up my video drivers and I can't get it fixed
[01:10] <bravo7> Nitecon yes i'm using ubuntu rite now
[01:10] <Coppershade-org^> Dell Vostro 1510... at 94% grub fails to install... no MBR options in BIOS... possible?
[01:10] <Spherous> martin__, So I want to just restore it to like yesterdays date or something...
[01:10] <martin__> Spherous, what i did was starting from scratch... and if u know what u changed it'd be a good idea.
[01:10] <Nitecon> bravo7 if you go under accessories and open Terminal
[01:10] <pollopolis> sudo rm -rf /home
[01:10] <Nitecon> bravo7 then type ifconfig
[01:11] <Spherous> martin__, my whole screen res is messed up and I'm stuck in low-graphics mode
[01:11] <Ulairion> Help, i can't get my graphics card to work properly.. I'm stuck at 800x600... would someone please help me? please? pretty please with sugar on top?
[01:11] <Nitecon> bravo7 you might have to scroll up until you see something like eth0      Link encap:Ethernet
[01:11] <godlygeek> bobertdos: yep, with a noauto,user mount in /etc/fstab, it mounts when clicked in nautilus.
[01:11] <martin__> if it related to xorg.conf,.... i found some old files of mind from few days ago in the same dir
[01:11] <Spherous> Ulairion, seems you and I are in the same boat
[01:11] <martin__> Spherous, tha's what happened to mine too
[01:11] <Spherous> Ulairion, no one here seems willing to help either
[01:11] <Nitecon> bravo7 right below that will be inet addr: that is your ip addresss
[01:12] <Ulairion> yes Spherous... so much for the whole "community"
[01:12] <xjohnthomasx>  hi i need help getting my video to work! i did a fresh install of 8.04, and everything works fine.. got the restricted drivers.. got gstreamer.. got everything i thought i needed.. but now all my avi and mpeg files play reallys low and stutter.... ??????
[01:12] <Spherous> martin__ I have no idea how to fix that~ I'm new with linux
[01:12] <xjohnthomasx> *really slow and stuttery
[01:12] <martin__> Spherous, i cant remember what i did exactly(ATI)
[01:12] <Nitecon> bravo7 should be something along the lines of <IP_ADDRESS> etc depending on your network
[01:12] <dr_willis> Ulairion,  demand a refund.. or start giving out some info, like card type. and what you ahve done to try to reinstall the drivers
[01:12] <martin__> Spherous, let me look up very fast
[01:12] <Coppershade-org^> Ulairion, Spherous: usually depends on the time of day, many here are helpful
[01:12] <bobertdos> !x | Ularion, Spherous
[01:13] <ChryLimeade> I'd be totally willing to help, I just don't know exactly what's going on.
[01:13] <bravo7> Nitecon do i have to enable Static NAT?
[01:13] <askvictor>  is there a file that tells me all of the installed packages on my system?
[01:13] <martin__> Spherous, i think you installed new driver for ur VGA, correct?
[01:13] <Coppershade-org^> Me, I tried to install Ubuntu to D:, but it failed to install grub and BIOS has no such options - dual boot not possible?
[01:13] <dr_willis> askvictor,  youc an get a list.. see the following
[01:13] <dr_willis> !clone | askvictor
[01:14] <Spherous> martin__, no idea.  I kept following what other people/guides told me to do
[01:14] <erUSUL> !ops | pollopolis
[01:14] <Ulairion> I have a VIA card, not sure which one nor how I could find out... I just installed this bloody thing (Ubuntu) and when I restarted I was stuck at 800x600 and no clue whatsoever
[01:14] <Coppershade-org^> !grub | Coppershade-org^
[01:14] <Spherous> martin__, no one seems to explain what they are having me do, just tell me to do it~
[01:14] <dr_willis> askvictor,  that 'my-packages' file would have a list.
[01:14] <Nitecon> bravo7 you can if you like or you can reserve your ip address for the ubuntu machine if your router allows it
[01:14] <martin__> Spherous, pm me i could walk u trough it as much as i could
[01:14] <RyanPrior> My USB subsystem just died. Can somebody help me restore it without having to reboot my computer?
[01:14] <askvictor> dr_willis: I need to do this on a non-booting filesystem...
[01:14] <erUSUL> Ulairion: gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[01:14] <dr_willis> askvictor,  chroot into the installed system, from a live cd.
[01:15] <Coppershade-org^> ubott u doesn't know !bios :S
[01:15] <martin__> i fixed it, although it took me 10 hours
[01:15] <dr_willis> askvictor,  other then that.. Not sure of any other way
[01:15] <Nitecon> bravo7 if you want to connect to your ubuntu machine from outside of your local lan you will have to do port forwarding to your ubuntu machine.
[01:15] <bobertdos> Spherous: Generally, what it boils down to is that you manually add resolutions that you know your monitor can support, to the main config file for X.
[01:15] <askvictor> dr_willis: tried that; sh is broken
[01:15] <Spherous> erUSUL, I'm having the same problem as Ulairion, when I go into gksudo displayconfig-gtk and change it to a generic monitor (Mines not in the list) it puts me in low-graphic mode
[01:15] <AIMsux101> hey, im new to linux and i have a hard drive crisis. if anyone could help me, thatd be great
[01:15] <Coppershade-org^> btw hi dr_willis, long time no see :) Trying to add Ubuntu to my laptop
[01:16] <Ulairion> It doesn't say anything about my card.... it shows "generic card" and i can't/don't know how to do anything
[01:16] <Spherous> bobertdos: Thats not the whole problem.  I can't run any high end graphic stuff either, no compiz, no cedega
[01:16] <bobertdos> AIMsux101: Please explain said crisis :)
[01:16] <bunnyto> I DEMAND A REFUND!
[01:16] <Coppershade-org^> bunnyto :D
[01:16] <martin__> "lspci -nn | grep VGA" to see ur VGA
[01:16]  * ChryLimeade gives bunnyto $2.
[01:17]  * Coppershade-org^ gives bunnyto a $0 refund :)
[01:17] <bunnyto> heh
[01:17] <bunnyto> thanks
[01:17] <AIMsux101> i accidentally clicked "mount" on my media hard drive which also has vista, and now i cant boot into windows at all. boot screen doesnt even see hard drive at all
[01:18] <Coppershade-org^> !grub | AIMsux101
[01:18] <Coppershade-org^> maybe?
[01:18] <Coppershade-org^> first link there
[01:18] <bunnyto> may i know , why the VLC is not playing the DIVX movies?
[01:18] <AIMsux101> alright. havent ever used grub
[01:19] <ChryLimeade> Aimsux101: what happens?  does it just boot straight to ubuntu?
[01:19] <Coppershade-org^> it should have been installed when you installed ubuntu normally, allows you to start ubuntu
[01:19] <Coppershade-org^> :)
[01:19] <bobertdos> bunnyto: Do you have the restricted codecs installed?
[01:19] <AIMsux101> no, doesnt boot at. had to boot off of cd
[01:19] <bunnyto> bobertdos: no sir, how do i do that
[01:20] <bunnyto> bobertdos: no sir, how do i do that?
[01:20] <ChryLimeade> ohhh
[01:20] <ChryLimeade> eep.
[01:20] <c64vsn64> Hey guys, doing a resh install. I got ubuntu64 cd in ... but Im not sure if it is REALLY ubuntu 64 cause a while back I think I labeled a CDR the wrong name : ) My question is, how would I find out what version this live session or CD is ?
[01:20] <bobertdos> bunnyto: Easiest way is to: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:21] <bunnyto> bobertdos: ok sir, i love you
[01:21] <ChryLimeade> well aimsux101, you definitely killed your bootloader.
[01:21] <Spherous> Alright, does any of the 1308 people in here know a lot about getting NVIDIA drivers to work?
[01:21] <c64vsn64> lol
[01:21] <bobertdos> bunnyto: disturbing.......
[01:22] <c64vsn64> Spherous , download the program EnvyNG
[01:22] <c64vsn64> It is a graphic utility, does all the hardwork for you ;)
[01:22] <bunnyto> bobertdos: ok sir, may i date with you?
[01:22] <Spherous> c64vsn64, already did, it messed me up, my res is all messed up and I'm stuck in low-graphics mode
[01:22] <ChryLimeade> aimsux101:  this is a stretch, but do you have vista install cd's?
[01:22] <ChryLimeade> or did it just come built on your machine?
[01:22] <AIMsux101> i have the upgrade cd
[01:22] <c64vsn64> oh
[01:22] <shani> Hello friends
[01:22] <bobertdos> bunnyto: Uh, no, and please stay on topic
[01:22] <AIMsux101> and a xp cd
[01:22] <shani> :)
[01:23] <Coppershade-org^> Is the partition resize (guided thingy on livecd) fail safe?
[01:23] <shani> Can any one help me with ipv6 go6 tunnel on ubuntu
[01:23] <AIMsux101> and a xp cd
[01:23] <Coppershade-org^> I'd like to keep my files on the windoze partition :)
[01:23] <Coppershade-org^> I'd like to keep my files that are* on the windoze partition :)
[01:24] <LjL> Coppershade-org^: no, it's not fail safe. it can fail, resizing partitions always can
[01:24] <LjL> therefore, backups are always recommended
[01:24] <RyanPrior> My USB subsystem just died. Can somebody help me restore it without having to reboot my computer?
[01:24] <bobertdos> Coppershade-org^: "failsafe" is a pretty absolute term, but it is certainly safer to let the partitioner do it for you than it is to do it yourself
[01:24] <ChryLimeade> aimsux101:  I would MAYBE recommend booting off the xp cd, I think you can do a boot loader repair with that...I'm just concerned about using that to try to fix a vista boot loader.
[01:24] <Coppershade-org^> LjL, ok. So I have a D: partition, I go manual and point the livecd to it. Right now the only problem is that at 94% of file copying, grub fails to install. BIOS has no MBR options.
[01:25] <Coppershade-org^> what do I do?
[01:25] <Coppershade-org^> this is a Dell Vostro 1510
[01:25] <RHorse> Spherous, reconfigure xserver
[01:25] <LjL> Coppershade-org^: tough luck. you could try the alternate or minimal cds, which, i believe, give you some more options with regards to where grub is installed
[01:25] <AIMsux101> alright,  should i be worried if i cant see the hdd at all in linux right now?
[01:26] <MetalHeadDead> question, do I need install an antivirus in ubuntu?
[01:26] <Spherous> RHorse: How?
[01:26] <LjL> Coppershade-org^: as for the reason why grub doesn't install in the first place - well, the cd could be corrupted (you've checked that of course?), or your partition table might be awkward possibly
[01:26] <bobertdos> MetalHeadDead: NO! In fact, uin my experience, they CAUSE problems.
[01:26] <ChryLimeade> aimsux101:  Maybe, but if I remember correctly, that could possibly be due to just not mounting it.
[01:26] <askvictor> dr_willis: got it - I ran dpkg --get-selections  --admindir <dir> to specify the dpkg lib path on the broken dir
[01:26] <c64vsn64> So, how do I find out if I am using 64 bit ubuntu or 32 bit ubuntu ?
[01:26] <erUSUL> c64vsn64: uname -m
[01:27] <Coppershade-org^> ah, found it!! :)) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=691249
[01:27] <c64vsn64> THanks erUSUL
[01:27] <RHorse> Spherous, try http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-how-to-reconfigure-x-windows-system-xorg-server/ or google it
[01:27] <Coppershade-org^> love-lee
[01:27] <MetalHeadDead> bobertdos: thx i was curious if i needed to or not, I dont think i need a firewall either, i have a hardware firewall in my router
[01:27] <c64vsn64> x86_64
[01:27] <Coppershade-org^> ok I'm off to my laptop... hope to see you on xchat ;)
[01:27] <c64vsn64> DOes that mean 64bit ? Yes right ? But isnt x86 32 bit ?
[01:27] <AIMsux101> well, how can i mount it, i used to be able to see it before the problem started. then i accidentally click mount (maybe it was unmount) and thats when i could boot
[01:27] <RyanPrior> MetalHeadDead: an antivirus doesn't do much because there are no Ubuntu viruses in the wild. However, if you're concerned about passing viruses on to Windows-using friends, you can use ClamScan to check for viruses.
[01:27] <iShock> How do I fix this? W: GPG error: http://deb.orangearchive.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 768FA3D9E3E1A434
[01:28] <MetalHeadDead> RyanPrior:  Thanks
[01:28] <RyanPrior> MetalHeadDead: there's also an online service called VirusTotal which uses a bunch of (free and non-free) virus checkers to analyze a file.
[01:28] <LjL> !gpgerr | ishock
[01:28] <KenBW> is there a way to get Hardy's deskbar-applet in Gutsy?
[01:28] <ChryLimeade> that's really strange.  From what you're describing, that really shouldn't have done that.
[01:28] <MinusSeven> if they're using windows and not linux, they aren't true friends
[01:28] <DrDerek>  hmm, I'm having a weird problem on my other Ubuntu Machine - after some time, the keyboard and mouse just stop responding to any clicks
[01:28] <MetalHeadDead> What about a firewall?  Hardware firewall enough?
[01:28] <ChryLimeade> do you know if you can boot off your vista disc (even if it's an update disc)?
[01:28] <iShock> LjL, what if I don't know the keyword?
[01:28] <MetalHeadDead> I know on windows security was a major issue
[01:28] <DrDerek> I can move the cursor, but it doesn't click
[01:28] <LjL> MetalHeadDead: of course it's enough
[01:28] <LjL> iShock: you google for it
[01:28] <bobertdos> MetalHeadDead: Yep, it is for me.
[01:28] <MinusSeven> Windows is a major issue
[01:29] <MetalHeadDead> Sweet
[01:29] <DrDerek> I've tried both USB and PS/2 Mice as well, but still.
[01:29] <AIMsux101> i believe so, if i can boot, what should i do then?
[01:29] <iShock> LjL, deb http://deb.orangearchive.net/ hardy main GPG keyword?
[01:29] <LjL> iShock: ?
[01:29] <ChryLimeade> try booting with the vista disc, and see if it give you any options for "repair"
[01:29] <iShock> LjL, that's the respository I added
[01:29] <iShock> Trying to set up PHP-GTK .. Unless you have a better way
[01:30] <MinusSeven> ChryLimeade, Microsoft have been trying to repair their operating systems for years
[01:30] <LjL> iShock: right, so as we said you need to find its GPG key
[01:30] <bobertdos> MetalHeadDead: In Unix, the only time you URGENTLY need to be concerned about firewalls is if you're using remote access or deploying a server of some sort, to tell you the truth.
[01:30] <iShock> LjL, google isn't finding anything .. You sure you don't know a better way? :()
[01:30] <LjL> iShock: http://the.orangearchive.net/ mentions a couple of irc channel, if you can't find it on google, give them a try
[01:30] <ChryLimeade> Haha
[01:31] <ChryLimeade> rimshot for MinusSeven
[01:31] <LjL> iShock: i also believe that error is non-fatal, anyway
[01:31] <Martiini> how do I start awn panel .. its installed but doesnt appear
[01:31] <MinusSeven> Most errors are non-fatal, no one I know has ever died from a general protection fault
[01:31] <bobertdos> Martiini: probably either the terminal or the run menu
[01:31] <ChryLimeade> or have been arrested for an illegal operation
[01:32] <bobertdos> Martiini: You can also add it to the startup list if you want.
[01:32] <iShock> LjL, you know a decent way to set up PHP-GTK?
[01:32] <lanoxx-> how can i get colorschemes for vim?
[01:32] <LjL> iShock, have you actually made sure that the error you get is fatal, since i believe it is not?
[01:33] <iShock> LjL, apt-cache search gtk | grep -i php has nothing
[01:33] <Martiini> bobertdos:  okidoki
[01:33] <LjL> iShock: go to http://deb.orangearchive.net/pool/main/ and download manually and install with dpkg
[01:33] <johng1970> I'm doing cross platform developing, and PureBasic requires GTK+ and SDL, I'm assuming I need to use UBuntu (not Kubuntu) for that, and download the SDL libraries, correct?  I Think Hot Basic said it used the KDE, so I downloaded a KDE version of UBuntu, haven't tried HotBasic on it yet, but am just sorta playing around with live-cd's to determine which one I want to install on my desktop....
[01:34] <iShock> Oh, smart one :o

[01:37] <ChryLimeade> So question for the masses: what music player do you prefer? (if this is an inappropriate question, just ignore, sorry)
[01:37] <LjL> !best | ChryLimeade
[01:37] <jramsey> print to it from ubuntu; i recently upgraded to the latest ubuntu and can no longer print to it; any ideas?
[01:38] <iShock> LjL, any reason running `make` slows up my damn computer?
[01:38] <jramsey> ive a laserjet printer on my xp machine and i used to be able to print to it from ubuntu; i recently upgraded to the latest ubuntu and can no longer print to it; any ideas?
[01:38] <bobertdos> ChryLimeade: Ignoring the factoid, most people will tell you Amarok.
[01:38] <LjL> iShock: because compiling is pretty processor intensive?
[01:38] <iShock> LjL: And then it stops
[01:39] <mneptok> !best > ChryLimeade
[01:39] <LjL> mneptok, you're way late
[01:39] <Coppershade-org^> hm, swap partition should be 2x physical ram
[01:39] <Coppershade-org^> ?
[01:39] <Coppershade-org^> ext3 file system?
[01:39] <mneptok> ach so
[01:39] <LjL> Coppershade-org^: not necessarily
[01:39] <ChryLimeade> yea, already got that, thanks.
[01:39] <Coppershade-org^> LjL, I have 2gb
[01:39] <Coppershade-org^> suggest some size (and file system) :)
[01:39] <mneptok> Coppershade-org^: desktop or laptop?
[01:39] <LjL> Coppershade-org^: then i recommend little more than 2 gb
[01:39] <Coppershade-org^> laptop
[01:40] <mneptok> Coppershade-org^: 2.4GB swap
[01:40] <Coppershade-org^> and ext3?
[01:40] <DeeB1> my update manager froze on "preparing to configure update-manager-core"...
[01:40] <LjL> mneptok: why .4?
[01:40] <Coppershade-org^> or ext2 for compatibility?
[01:40] <mneptok> Coppershade-org^: you can't format swap as ext3
[01:40] <Coppershade-org^> it's always... what? :)
[01:40] <LjL> Coppershade-org^: it's always swap
[01:40] <bleh-> hey i booted livecd and keep getting error 21 on livecd.
[01:40] <mneptok> LjL: to allow anything in physical RAM to get dumped to swap when hibernating
[01:40] <Coppershade-org^> oh. :P
[01:40] <LjL> Coppershade-org^: it doesn't have a filesystem
[01:41] <Coppershade-org^> now I remember.

[01:41] <turtle_> I need help with audacity
[01:41] <Coppershade-org^> I did it a year ago, forgot
[01:41] <DeeB1> anyone know why my update manager is freezing?
[01:41] <LjL> mneptok: right, that's why i recommend setting it to as much as you have RAM (or little more just to be sure you aren't mixing decimal with binary multiples), why more?
[01:41] <Coppershade-org^> lovely, Ubuntu on its way to my laptop!
[01:41] <mneptok> Coppershade-org^: apologies are usually more convincing when you don;t stick your tongue out at people.
[01:42] <turtle_> Audacity says my output isnt set up correctly, but it wont let me change it?
[01:42] <aaron_> anybody know why firefox freezes when watching youtubes
[01:42] <outbri> aaron_: I have the same problem, not sure why
[01:42] <mneptok> LjL: because it's far more likely to get the desired results from gparted than is entering "2.048GB"
[01:42] <GreedyB> anyone using Empathy?
[01:43] <LjL> mneptok: right, but i'd just make it 2.1 gb. i was puzzled at the .4
[01:44] <aaron_> outbri_: any luck in solving it
[01:44] <RHorse> aaron_, upgrade adobe flash?
[01:44] <aaron_> ok trying that righ tnow
[01:44] <iShock> LjL: It's not moving at all now, just slowing the hell out of my computer.
[01:44] <aaron_> is there an apt-get command
[01:44] <techsupport> can someone help me configure smb.conf so that i would be able to share a drive with windows /?
[01:45] <DeeB1> anyone know why my update manager is freezing on "preparing to configure update-manager-core".  it's done this twice... first time i had to reinstall because it messsed up my system when i killed the update
[01:45] <AllNewToMe> Does Ubuntu and Linux in general use ram more efficiently than Windblows? Does Linux suffer the same 3.2 gb limit of 32 bit Windoze?
[01:46] <LjL> AllNewToMe: maybe, and yes (unless you enable the PAE extension in the kernel, but it's not enabled in Ubuntu)
[01:46] <RHorse> aaron_, try adobe site and follow instructions
[01:46] <LjL> iShock: give it time
[01:46] <AllNewToMe> So how do I enable it?
[01:46] <LjL> AllNewToMe: you either install the server kernel, or roll your own
[01:46] <LjL> or you live with 3.2 gb
[01:47] <LjL> which to me would seem like the better option *shrug*
[01:47] <GodfatherofEire> Has anyone here ever had a failed file transfer to a Zen or other MP3 with amarok result in a file deletion instead of a crash?

[01:48] <aaron_> thanks doing it right now
[01:49] <FatalError> AllNewToMe, some memory ranges will be mapped to devices, etc., and so you won't be able to use them
[01:49] <Tim1_> any samba xpert
[01:49] <RyanPrior> FatalError: I restarted HAL but didn't get USB back.
[01:49] <LjL> AllNewToMe: currently, not much. maybe with intrepid, not sure.
[01:49] <iShock> It moves LjL! :>
[01:49] <RyanPrior> FatalError: I've got a USB mouse and USB hard drive; I can't use my mouse and I can't mount my hard drive, so I assume that my USB system is borked.
[01:49] <FatalError> hm
[01:49] <r_bender> hey anybody know how to burn an .iso file for damn small linux in ubuntu via brasero?
[01:50] <FatalError> RyanPrior, you can try reloading the usbcore kernel module
[01:50] <AIMsux101> im back
[01:51] <mneptok> AIMsux101: as much as i'm not fond of AOL Instant Messenger, your nick is somewhat inappropriate for this channel.
[01:51] <DeeB1> anyone know why my update manager is freezing on "preparing to configure update-manager-core".  it's done this twice... first time i had to reinstall because it messsed up my system when i killed the update
[01:51] <RyanPrior> FatalError: How do I do that? Use modprobe to remove and then insert it?
[01:51] <AIMsux101> so the vista cd actually crashed while loading. i went to the the BIOS and both of my hard drives werent listed
[01:51] <FatalError> RyanPrior, rmmod, then modprobe -- you may have to unload some other modules first before it will unload
[01:52] <GodfatherofEire> Anyone ever had deletion problems with Amarok before?
[01:52] <RyanPrior> FatalError: I'm not sure where I'd start. Do I risk destabilizing the rest of my system if I remove the wrong thing?
[01:52] <FatalError> RyanPrior, it's always a possibility, though I have never had it happen
[01:53] <georgetowntimoth> Hey guys
[01:53] <RyanPrior> FatalError: why rmmod rather than modprobe -r ?
[01:54] <georgetowntimoth> This world sucksss...
[01:54] <FatalError> RyanPrior, same difference
[01:54] <RyanPrior> !ot | georgetowntimoth
[01:54] <RyanPrior> FatalError: usbcore is in use - how do I find out what is using it?
[01:54] <FatalError> it didn't say?
[01:55] <Tim1_> can ubunto be a client in windows network
[01:55] <quentusrex> How do I determine how much each folder is using?  I'm gonna remove shit until all hell breaks loose then start them all back up again=D
[01:57] <Coppershade-org^> thx LjL and mneptok :)
[01:57] <Coppershade-org^> Ubuntu install underway...
[01:58] <iShock> !ohmy | RyanPrior
[01:58] <Coppershade-org^> wot, geeks have families now?
[01:58]  * Coppershade-org^ ducks
[01:58] <Coppershade-org^> :D
[01:59] <iShock> I'm 15.
[01:59] <AIMsux101> both of my hard drives disappeared, from the BIOS too. just booted off of cd. help
[01:59] <aaron_> what version of flash player is the latest?
[01:59] <cibertito> I'm 18 :)
[02:00] <RyanPrior> FatalError: Alrighty - what do I do if rmmod just sits there when I tell it to remove a module?
[02:00] <FatalError> RyanPrior, like it just blocks indefinitely?
[02:00] <RyanPrior> FatalError: not necessarily indefinitely, but it's shown no signs of life for about a minute now
[02:00] <aaron_> 9,0,124,0 can someone confirm this is the latest flash player?
[02:00] <FatalError> RyanPrior, strange, never had it happen
[02:00] <histo> RyanPrior: you can try hitting ctrl+c or ctrl+x
[02:01] <FatalError> RyanPrior, otoh, I never tried unloading usbcore
[02:01] <histo> RyanPrior: if not you can open another terminal and kill the pid
[02:01] <RyanPrior> histo: Certianly those are options, but I'm not sure it's safe to kill a program which is in the middle of removing a kernel module.
[02:01] <LordFDisk> Flash 9.0.r124
[02:03] <GodfatherofEire> At risk of sounding like a bot or something, I really need some help with my Amarok to transfer music to my Zen. It deleted 5 albums after not transferring them.
[02:03] <GreedyB> Anyone ever used MoBlock? supposedly its like peerguardian
[02:03] <LordFDisk> GreedyB,  I use MoBlock
[02:04] <GreedyB> LordFDisk, awesome the website looked so basic I wasnt sure if it was used much
[02:04] <OrlyX> is there any other reason to use ubuntu other than it's free, fast and doesnt have a lot viruses
[02:04] <OrlyX> ?\
[02:04] <GreedyB> thats alot of reasons
[02:04] <GreedyB> but you can customize everything?
[02:05] <LordFDisk> GreedyB,  I don't know how many people use it .. but I like it
[02:05] <FatalError> OrlyX, chicks dig it
[02:05] <OrlyX> well, i can put GNOME on windows and customize everything :P
[02:05] <GreedyB> not just the GUI
[02:05] <RyanPrior> I am unable to kill the running rmmod processes.
[02:05] <davidguest> hey can somone help me
[02:05] <RyanPrior> killall -9 rmmod doesn't do the job
[02:05] <davidguest> i got ffmpeg and mencoder install on draper
[02:05] <OrlyX> i used ubuntu for 2 years, its nice..etc but, now that i have a fast computer, i dont find any very good reason to not use windows? :P
[02:05] <OrlyX> i mean, i installed ubuntu.. <3 dual-booting
[02:06] <GreedyB> depends on how you use your computer
[02:06] <FatalError> RyanPrior, hm, might be time for that reboot ;P
[02:06] <davidguest> but i but i need to install Libogg + Libvorbis Flv2tool but their not in my repos
[02:06] <OrlyX>  well, im sort of geeky guy and not a gamer
[02:06] <davidguest> i added the mutliverse
[02:06] <OrlyX> everything i need is available on all OSs
[02:06] <SebNaitsabes> what's the difference between apt-get and apptitude?
[02:06] <GreedyB> LordFDisk, did you install from the repos?
[02:06] <RyanPrior> FatalError: Noes! This happens every so often and I really want to know how I can recover gracefully, not least of which so I can file a bug report with some good hints in it.
[02:06] <aaron_> k I am trying to freeze my firefox...so far so good nothing crashes with adobe flash 9,0,124,0 installed
[02:06] <Pici> OrlyX: Do you have a question? This is a support channel (and you should know better)
[02:06] <davidguest> can someone help me with a ffmpeg seutp
[02:07] <zcat[1]> OrlyX: so no real reason to use windows and not linux either?
[02:07] <FatalError> RyanPrior, anything interseting in dmesg?
[02:07] <davidguest> can someone pm me who can help with ffmpeg setup on draper
[02:07] <LordFDisk> GreedyB,  I had to add the lines to get it in there .... but ya
[02:07] <GreedyB> davidguest, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 or medibuntu
[02:08] <aaron_> awesome  Thanks I think the problem has now been fixed...:)
[02:08] <GreedyB> oh draper
[02:08] <davidguest> i tried that but flv2tool not in it
[02:08] <davidguest> aye 6.06 its running on a fashosts server
[02:09] <RyanPrior> FatalError: dmesg shows the meltdown of my USB system (I/O errors on my external HD, usb devices not accepting addresses, ACPI errors, etc)
[02:10] <takamarou> hey my secondary hard drive just dissapeared.. I can't even cd into from terminal.  Any help on how to remount it?
[02:10] <davidguest> anyone no how to install flvtool on draper
[02:10] <FatalError> RyanPrior, ouch.. only time I had I/O errors show up was when my external hdd went bad
[02:10] <LordFDisk> GreedyB,  I try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock
[02:10] <GreedyB> NICE! Thanks LordFDisk
[02:11] <ale_> ubuntu syncs nokia xpress?
[02:11] <LordFDisk> GreedyB,  np anytime =
[02:11] <LordFDisk> =)
[02:11] <AlabamaHit> Do the files(backups) made when i change a file such as a php file....delete theirself? say i have a page called....test.php and i edit it and save it it makes a file called test.php~ do they delete theirself?
[02:11] <RyanPrior> FatalError: If I reboot the computer, the external drive will be perfectly usable again. It's just that after a few hours under load, my USB subsystem peters out and I have to kill it to keep it from corrupting the drive - I have a daemon which monitors dmesg for I/O errors and force-unmounts the drive when it sees them.
[02:11] <davidguest> u see the new touch screen nokia xpress they just put pics up today
[02:12] <davidguest> looks so sweet
[02:12] <ale_> havent
[02:12] <jpastore> I ripped 3 mini dvd's recorded with my friend's camcorder to ISO files locally on my machine. What's the best way to combine that video into 1 file that can be burnt to DVD?
[02:12] <ameenoz> hey giys
[02:12] <FatalError> RyanPrior, sounds like a mess :S
[02:12] <ameenoz> i have a problem
[02:12] <ale_> jpastore: maybe memcoder?
[02:12] <FatalError> RyanPrior, does it still happen if the drive isn't connected?
[02:12] <ameenoz> is there any arabic guy in here ?
[02:13] <RyanPrior> FatalError: usually not - it's only when I try to store or load a lot of data that I see this happen.
[02:13] <adrian_2002ca> help! my intrepid ibex beta(upgrade from hardy) is really slow sometimes!~anyone?
[02:13] <RyanPrior> But when my USB drive goes, my mouse goes too.
[02:13] <jpastore> ale_, I'll check it out thanks...
[02:13] <RyanPrior> !intrepid | adrian_2002ca
[02:13] <ale_> adrian_2002ca: I'm runinng Ibex from hardy upgrade too...
[02:13] <AlabamaHit> adrian_2002ca: it is still beta....but personally a clean install with it, is what im running and its the fastest OS i have ever used...
[02:14] <takamarou> can someone help me on remounting my secondary hard drive?  It seems to have dissapeared
[02:14] <RyanPrior> takamarou: Do you know the device name?
[02:14] <ale_> its faster than hardy for me here...
[02:14] <AlabamaHit> takamarou: have you tried rebooting?
[02:14] <takamarou> yes
[02:14] <RyanPrior> takamarou: mount /dev/your/device/name then
[02:14] <AlabamaHit> ale_:  me to...new 8.10 is fast as lighting....
[02:14] <adrian_2002ca> AlabamaHit: i see...any way to get a fresh install without messing around with burning cd's and whatnot?
[02:15] <RyanPrior> takamarou: omit "then" and replace with your actual device name, naturally
[02:15] <ale_> AlabamaHit: I love what they have done to compiz or whatever is faster more smother
[02:15] <takamarou> AlabamaHit, I've relogged.. not rebooted.
[02:15] <AlabamaHit> adrian_2002ca: not that i know of....I burned cd and did it that way.....if you want to save cds i would just wait a few weeks :)
[02:16] <takamarou> RyanPrior, it should be something like /dev/hbd1 or something.. all I know is that the drive is named data..  /dev/data doesn't work with mount.
[02:16] <AlabamaHit> takamarou: i would try what RyanPrior said...
[02:16] <DrDerek> hmm, my xserver keeps freezing randomly
[02:16] <DrDerek> no input from my keyboard or mouse will be allowed
[02:16] <adrian_2002ca> AlabamaHit: ok, thanks :D
[02:16] <savage-> anyone using compiz fusion in ubuntu 8.04?
[02:16] <RyanPrior> takamarou: you've got to know a special device name
[02:16] <AlabamaHit> ale_: i totally agree.....i am dumbfounded on how fast this OS is...
[02:16] <takamarou> RyanPrior, how do I find that?
[02:17] <AlabamaHit> Ubuntu has completely out did theirsefl this time.
[02:17] <savage-> I'm trying to figure out how to get the desktop cube to rotate up/down -- I can do ctrl-alt-left/right, but not up/down
[02:17] <RyanPrior> takamarou: For example, my root partition is /dev/sda1, my home partition is /dev/sda2, and my external drive is /dev/sdb
[02:17] <AlabamaHit> AWESOME OS
[02:17] <zeno__> im im about to reinstall my os what should i back up besides home dir?
[02:17] <RyanPrior> takamarou: take a look at /etc/fstab

[02:17] <chris_foster> Hi, what is the best programming language to make a mmorpg like bot (common uses are world of warcraft or runescape, not my intention though). I'm looking to make a bot that can click in the right place at the right time and repeat. I would perfer not to use a program, but I will if I have too. Any tutorials would be appriciated as well.

[02:18] <aaron_> using evolution mail.......how do I get so I don't see the notification thin for a mail when it arrives
[02:18] <aaron_> I already configured it properly in the Evolution mail
[02:18] <AlabamaHit> So anyone know abiout the back up files...like when i make a txt file it makes a file~ do they delte theirself
[02:19] <takamarou> RyanPrior, it looks like it's called /dev/sda2... but it also appears to be the same name as my cdrom0
[02:19] <RyanPrior> chris_foster: This is the wrong channel for that sort of help, unfortunately.
[02:19]  * GodfatherofEir1 is having a slight problem with Amarok, any help would be appreciated
[02:19] <takamarou> RyanPrior, actually, would /dev/scd0 make sense?
[02:20] <RyanPrior> takamarou: If you have a SCSI disk, then yes.
[02:20] <chris_foster> RyanPrior: okay, I understand. I forgot I usually just default to the ubuntu channel for questions, any idea were I can look (IRC perferably)
[02:20] <WDC_> Hey hey
[02:20] <WDC_> This is a noob question, but where do Bittorrent downloaads go?
[02:21] <Bizzeh> hey, do the ubuntu server install cd's have ssh on as default?
[02:21] <takamarou> RyanPrior, ok I did sudo mount /dev/scd0, and got mount: No medium found
[02:21] <RyanPrior> takamarou: That must not be it, then.
[02:21] <RHorse> AlabamaHit, no, they stay there until you edit again
[02:21] <jparis> Any one know about how to disable a device?
[02:22] <RyanPrior> takamarou: Do you have lots of UUID=garbledegook-more-garbledegook-28y783bs83-2672474762 entries in your fstab?
[02:22] <Technoviking> Bizzeh: I believe so, but just sudo apt-get install ssh if it isn't
[02:22] <takamarou> RyanPrior, 3 of them.
[02:22] <WDC_> This is a noob question, but where do Bittorrent downloaads go?
[02:22] <m_newton> !wireless-tools
[02:22] <RyanPrior> takamarou: What are their mount points?
[02:22] <m_newton> !search wireless-tools
[02:22] <Bizzeh> Technoviking: im asking because im trying to install to a headless server, no monitor, keyboard or mouse... so i cant just type in apt-get
[02:22] <jasuus> AlabamaHit: i still cant get into #python
[02:22] <takamarou> RyanPrior, sda3 is ext3, sda1 is /media/windows, and sda2 is none
[02:22] <m_newton> !apt wireless-tools > m_newton
[02:23] <GodfatherofEir1> WDC_ Usually Ubuntu asks you to select  a directory to save to
[02:23] <m_newton> ugh
[02:23] <WDC_> GodfatherofEir1: I wasn't asked
[02:23] <WDC_> GodfatherofEir1: Is there a default folder? It's a server install
[02:23] <Technoviking> Bizzeh: I think it is, not a 100% sure though
[02:23] <RyanPrior> takamarou: So which is the mount point you can't cd to right now?
[02:23] <turps0> hello
[02:23] <GodfatherofEir1> Not sure, lemme check
[02:24] <Bizzeh> Technoviking: what would be the default user/pass to log in to be able to run an install via ssh?
[02:24] <Technoviking> Bizzeh: your trying to install via ssh?
[02:24] <takamarou> RyanPrior, it's either sda2 or scd0...  not 100% sure
[02:24] <Bizzeh> Technoviking: yes...
[02:25] <turps0> is there someone that can help me set up a wireless network
[02:25] <Technoviking> Bizzeh: sorry misunderstood
[02:25] <RyanPrior> takamarou: well, try mounting sda2
[02:25] <SebNaitsabes> turps0 > wireless
[02:25] <SebNaitsabes> turpos0 > !wireless
[02:25] <SebNaitsabes> !wireless > turps0
[02:25] <takamarou> RyanPrior, mount: mount point none does not exist
[02:25] <turps0> i just started using ubuntu, and it doesnt boot my wireless antanne

[02:27] <GodfatherofEir1> WDC_  Sorry,  but I cant find anything on that
[02:27] <RyanPrior> takamarou: Wanna pastebin your fstab for me so I can take a look?
[02:27] <Pici> !wifi | turps0
[02:27] <takamarou> RyanPrior, I think I was looking at the wrong thing in this file..  the one I'm trying to mount is /dev/sdb1..  I just tried to mount that and it said Failed to access volume ....  No such file or directory.     Hold on, I'll pastebin my fstab
[02:27] <AlabamaHit> jasuus: did it identify you?
[02:28] <ale_> RyanPrior: Thank you...
[02:28] <WDC_> GodfatherofEir1: thanks!
[02:28] <ale_> Pici: Thank you...
[02:28] <AlabamaHit> RHorse: so i manully have to delete them?
[02:28] <Coppershade-org^> OK, Ubuntu up and running. :)
[02:28] <takamarou> RyanPrior, http://paste.ubuntu.com/53604/
[02:28] <Coppershade-org^> Wasn't the Realtek bug fixed in HH?
[02:28] <jasuus> yep
[02:28] <RHorse> AlabamaHit, no, they will save your a**, believe me. leave them alone
[02:29] <Coppershade-org^> cos I have no internet
[02:29] <DamienGray-Q3> what does crontab -r do
[02:29] <Coppershade-org^> on the laptop, that is.
[02:29] <RyanPrior> takamarou: And it's /media/data that you're unable to access right now?
[02:29] <AlabamaHit> RHorse: only thing is i forget about it and i write codes for people and when i pack them i forget to delte them lol...i guess i just need to start rembering lol
[02:29] <takamarou> RyanPrior, correct
[02:29] <Coppershade-org^> usually Linux devs excel at file systems and networking, so I'm a bit baffled. :)
[02:30] <RyanPrior> takamarou: Is it an external USB drive?
[02:30] <Coppershade-org^> also, Vista boots @$$ slow now. Know issue
[02:30] <Coppershade-org^> Known issue?*
[02:30] <xyz> Certainly XChat is the best IRC Client
[02:30] <takamarou> RyanPrior, no, it's an internal HD
[02:30] <GodfatherofEir1> So, no one then, has had any problems with Amarok and MP3 players?
[02:30] <RyanPrior> takamarou: dmesg say anything tasty?
[02:30] <Mawze_> Hello World
[02:31] <Coppershade-org^> Is XMplayer ported to Ubuntu?
[02:31] <takamarou> RyanPrior, whole lotta crap.. lemme paste it
[02:31] <RyanPrior> World says: Hello, Mawze_!
[02:31] <RHorse> AlabamaHit, you could write a script to move them all to a backup dir when ur done with them
[02:31] <ale_> heo
[02:31] <ale_> hello
[02:32] <Coppershade-org^> oh well, mission 1 completed. I'll go to the forum with my queries
[02:32] <ale_> why does fedora has 6 CDs to install and Ubuntu has just 1
[02:33] <RyanPrior> ale_: Fedora includes a lot more software by default. Ubuntu relegates more of it to the repositories.
[02:33] <AlabamaHit> RHorse: now that sounds like a great idea :)
[02:34] <AlabamaHit> RHorse: only problem is im fairly new to linux and no clue how to do something like that LMAO
[02:35] <mneptok> AlabamaHit: are you really laughing, or does your keyboard just lack the period key?
[02:36] <AlabamaHit> mneptok: really laughing
[02:36] <Guest24697> I need some help with Intrepid
[02:36] <RHorse> AlabamaHit, they are really handy. Try here to start: http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/
[02:36] <wsjunior> Is it true that Intrepid Ibex won't have a brand new theme?
[02:36] <mneptok> Guest24697: #ubuntu+1
[02:36] <wsjunior> This awfull theme actually being used will be the default one?
[02:38] <Guest24697> mneptok, thanks
[02:38] <Spherous> Alright guys, so I got my res back to normal, but when I go into system->administration->Hardware Drivers and check enable and reboot, it puts me in low-graphics mode again, and I have to reset my X server to get it back to the right res, any ideas?
[02:39] <mneptok> Spherous: lspci | grep VGA
[02:39] <mneptok> Spherous: pastebin the result
[02:39] <Spherous> mneptok 06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G71 [GeForce 7950 GT] (rev a1)
[02:41] <mneptok> Spherous: you're using Hardy?
[02:41] <Spherous> mneptok: Yes
[02:42] <alan> I am trying to install Cheese 2.24.0 and i need intltool 0.40.0 or later - Synpatic only has 1.37.0 - Help needed? please
[02:42] <Roey> hello
[02:42] <Roey> is there a way to try out the python3 release candidate on hardy heron?
[02:42] <Spherous> alan, you might have to compile it? or find a .deb you can download online?
[02:43] <SebNaitsabes> Roey: yes if you get it from one of the servers for it,  you can't get it from the Ubuntu reo
[02:43] <alan> looked on getdeb Nothing! kind of a ubuntu newb
[02:43] <SebNaitsabes> repo
[02:43] <Roey> SebNaitsabes:  ok.
[02:43] <alan> trying to work my way through it thou
[02:43] <Roey> SebNaitsabes:  or I guess I can wait about a month?
[02:43] <SebNaitsabes> Roey:  RC is RC it's not a final
[02:44] <SebNaitsabes> Roey: when is the final?
[02:44] <Spherous> alan, google intltool 0.40.0 .deb and see what you get
[02:44] <alan> compling it = downloading and ,configure, make etc.. right?
[02:44] <SebNaitsabes> Roey: and wait a mounth for what?  the final of Python or?
[02:44] <Roey> python 3.0 comes out in a month
[02:44] <Roey> =)
[02:44] <Spherous> alan, yeah, but always look on the web for the .deb before you do the compiling
[02:44] <Spherous> alan, unless you like to compile o.o
[02:44] <SebNaitsabes> Roey: ok, but  hardy heron will probably not have it
[02:44] <SebNaitsabes> Roey:  hell even Intrepid Ibex (the next one) may not just have it
[02:45] <alan> gotcha - good to know i was on the right track
[02:45] <Spherous> mneptok: Any ideas?
[02:45] <SebNaitsabes> Roey:  update just does security updates
[02:45] <AlabamaHit> Whats a good program to convert DVDs to avi format?
[02:45] <mneptok> Spherous: do you know for certain that the Hardy nividia-glx driver supports that (relatively recent) GPU?
[02:45] <alan> <looks for the Thanks button on IRC> <g>
[02:45] <SebNaitsabes> Roey:  actsaul proper new versions of programs is in each Ubuntu release
[02:45] <SebNaitsabes> Roey: ,but you can install stuff that is not in the repo as I said anyway
[02:45] <Roey> SebNaitsabes:  hmm, ok.
[02:46] <alan> found a deb thanks
[02:46] <Spherous> mneptok: Yeah, I had it working before until I tried to update my GPU driver to get Cedega to work
[02:46] <Spherous> alan, your welcome :D
[02:46] <mneptok> Spherous: install the nvidia binary driver, and the nvidia-settings package
[02:47] <Spherous> mneptok: Explain how?
[02:47] <alan> beware i could have more questions!
[02:47] <aaron_> does anyone know how to stop getting email notification on the desktop that come from evolution mail
[02:47] <Spherous> alan, alright, I'll be looking out for you
[02:48] <Snowniak> Does anyone is having unstable graphic interface with nvidia cards lately ?
[02:48] <Snowniak> ** Is anyone having
[02:48] <Snowniak> problems
[02:48] <mneptok> Spherous: "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings"
[02:48] <Spherous> Snowniak: I am~
[02:48] <Snowniak> Spherous: I have a 6150go
[02:49] <Snowniak> Spherous: notebook onboard
[02:49] <Snowniak> Spherous: have you found out what is happening?
[02:49] <Spherous> Snowniak: 7950
[02:49] <Spherous> Snowniak: No idea whats happening
[02:49] <Snowniak> Spherous: sometimes I have to Ctrl+Backspace ...
[02:49] <Spherous> mneptok: Okay, got that, anything else?
[02:49] <Snowniak> Damn...
[02:50] <cooljeff3000> what's the problem
[02:50] <Spherous> Snowniak: Mine is doing worse~ I can't check the enable box to use compiz
[02:50] <Snowniak> Spherous: Yeah, it happens to me sometimes
[02:51] <cooljeff3000> !offtopic
[02:51] <Snowniak> Spherous: I have disabled compiz, otherwise I cant use the computer for more than one hour without having problems
[02:51] <Spherous> Snowniak: You might have fried your card~
[02:51] <cooljeff3000> #ubuntu+1
[02:51] <Snowniak> Spherous: noe
[02:51] <Snowniak> nope
[02:51] <Spherous> mneptok: how do I install the nvidia binary driver?
[02:51] <Snowniak> If I reinstall with another system, or even with a fresh install,
[02:52] <Snowniak> Spherous: all problems go away
[02:52] <mneptok> Spherous: System > Admin > Hardware Drivers
[02:52] <Spherous> Snowniak: no idea then~
[02:52] <Snowniak> Spherous: I think it might be some ubuntu update, or even the latest nvidia driver
[02:52] <mneptok> Snowniak: so boot to an older kernel
[02:52] <Snowniak> Spherous: I can run Battlefield 2 without any problem on cedega
[02:52] <Spherous> mneptok: Once I check that box I'll go into low-graphic mode
[02:52] <bustaplz> My ubuntu machine has been shutting off randomly seemingly when it is idle. I'm running a hardware diagnostic on it for 1h45m so far and have not had an issue. Anyone have ideas as to why ubuntu would do this?
[02:53] <Spherous> and then I'll have to run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:53] <Snowniak> compiz is freaking me out...
[02:53] <mneptok> Spherous: so that's when you use nvidia-settings to try to correct it
[02:53] <Spherous> mneptok: Okay, so I'll check it, and restart, what should I expect when I'
[02:53] <Spherous> mneptok: I'm restarting
[02:53] <cooljeff3000> my internet is slow
[02:54] <cooljeff3000> firefox
[02:54] <mneptok> Spherous: expect to have to open the nvidia-settings applet and tweak things
[02:54] <Spherous> mneptok: alright, idk how to do that, but I guess I'll figure it out
[02:54] <bustaplz> nobody has an theories?
[02:54] <mneptok> Spherous: it should be in the menus
[02:54] <Spherous> mneptok: Alright, I'll be right back
[02:55] <Gnea> bustaplz: are power saving options turned on?
[02:55] <Snowniak> bustaplz : Are you using a laptop ?
[02:55] <RHorse> bustaplz, dust on cpu? clogged fans?
[02:55] <bustaplz> No, I have not checked any power saving options, No I'm not on a laptop.
[02:55] <bustaplz> I JUST put this machine together
[02:55] <Gnea> please check them.
[02:55] <bustaplz> it's sparkly clean
[02:55] <Gnea> check them.
[02:56] <Snowniak> bustaplz : Its ubuntu 8.04 or some 8.10 alpha ?
[02:56] <bustaplz> i've used sensors to check cpu temp and its stable at 40C
[02:56] <bustaplz> 8.04
[02:56] <Gnea> bustaplz: System->Preferences->Power Management
[02:56] <JackEStorm> bustaplz: Intel Mother Board?
[02:56] <bustaplz> I can't check any power saving options at the moment as I'm running PC Check
[02:56] <bustaplz> yes
[02:56] <bustaplz> P4 2.4
[02:56] <Gnea> bustaplz: make sure that the HD or anyting else isn't being turned off
[02:56] <RHorse> psu sufficient?
[02:56] <bsquidwrd> how do i set up a webserver with ubuntu?
[02:56] <bustaplz> it's 250w PSU onboard graphics, 1 hdd
[02:57] <JackEStorm> bustaplz: I had the same problem on two intel motherboards, every 45mins it would restart
[02:57] <bustaplz> that was my first guess but running this PC Check for almost 2 hours and not a problem
[02:57] <Gnea> !lamp | bsquidwrd
[02:57] <Snowniak> bustaplz : What graphic card?
[02:57] <RHorse> bustaplz, isn't 250 pretty small?
[02:57] <Snowniak> yeah, depends on the graphic card
[02:57] <bustaplz> i'm not sure of the graphics chip its integrated
[02:57] <Snowniak> 250 is really small...
[02:57] <bustaplz> it's an older motherboard
[02:57] <RHorse> bustaplz, check the voltage see if it dips.
[02:57] <Gnea> bustaplz: so did you check the power management settings or not? no need to get upset about it.
[02:57] <bsquidwrd> thank you
[02:58] <bustaplz> as I said, I can't check it until PC Check finishes
[02:58] <bustaplz> just trying to gather some information
[02:58] <Gnea> oh, okay.
[02:58] <greatchuck> !codecs
[02:58] <Gnea> sorry, missed that
[02:58] <bustaplz> what bothers me is it seems to be powering off and not shutting down
[02:58] <bustaplz> like there is a hardware problem
[02:58] <bustaplz> but it only happens in ubuntu
[02:58] <JackEStorm> bustaplz: did you say it was an intel MB? how old?
[02:58] <Gnea> bustaplz: it really sounds like it's going into hibernation or suspend mode
[02:59] <Snowniak> bustaplz : Well, I think is this buggy new kernel...
[02:59] <bustaplz> let me look up the MB
[02:59] <JackEStorm> Gnea: I have two systems here that used to do that, and it was hub/suspend related, even thou it was off...ever 45mins the system would reboot
[03:00] <bustaplz> i'll pop the case open
[03:00] <Spherous> mneptok: Alright, restarted, it put me in low-graphics mode again, and my res went back to 800x600
[03:00] <sullyva86> do i need to run emerald to get desktop effects? I get an error when trying to enable desktop effects with the default ubuntu theme on?
[03:00] <bsquidwrd> where can i download ubuntu server? on the website?
[03:00] <mneptok> Spherous: login and look for the nvidia-settings app in your menus
[03:00] <bustaplz> http://www.superwarehouse.com/Asus_P4VP-MX_Motherboard/P4VP-MX/p/388509
[03:00] <bustaplz> Asus P4VP-MX
[03:00] <Spherous> mneptok: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[03:00] <mneptok> sullyva86: no, Emerald is not requisite
[03:01] <mneptok> Spherous: there you go.
[03:01] <mneptok> Spherous: do as it asks
[03:01] <chupacabra> how do I get gnome to release my desktop so I can run webcollage on it?
[03:01] <Spherous> mneptok: I tried, I can't edit nvidia-xconfig
[03:01] <mneptok> Spherous: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[03:01] <Spherous> it just spits out some file destinations
[03:01] <ilec> 'lo all I'm having trouble with burning the live CD from the iso. I keep getting write errors, I downloaded the iso twice. but it happened both times. is this just me?
[03:01] <tigran> Hi. After I change my mac address, I no longer have internet.
[03:02] <bustaplz> the idea that it is going into suspend mode sounds about right, but it's completely powered off, think that could just be a bug with the suspend mode?
[03:02] <JackEStorm> bustaplz: for me it was a BIOS bug, look around and check, at your own risk.
[03:02] <sullyva86> mneptok: when i run compiz --replace in terminal i get a "couldn't find decorator" error any ideas?
[03:02] <bustaplz> as in a BIOS setting or a bad BIOS?
[03:02] <Spherous> mneptok: http://pastebin.com/m63e39c4f
[03:02] <mneptok> sullyva86: that command does not enable Compiz
[03:02] <bustaplz> I did notice an option that was turned off, ACPI 2.0
[03:02] <greatchuck> !dvd
[03:03] <mneptok> Spherous: restart X
[03:03] <Gnea> JackEStorm: i've seen that with a few systems before - if the BIOS settings are set to allow certain devices to powersave and it's new enough, ubuntu will simply grab the information via ACPI and use those values as assumptions
[03:03] <emplo> if I am running ubuntu in only command line, is it possible to reduce the text size so I fit more on the screen?
[03:03] <Spherous> mneptok: ctrl alt backspace?
[03:03] <mneptok> Spherous: sure
[03:03] <JackEStorm> in my case it was both, IntelBIOS had a bug that left APM on, no matter the setting, and .16 on of the kernel would get that bug, before that it didn't.
[03:03] <Spherous> k, brb
[03:03] <fivre> I keep getting EADDRNOTAVAIL from something that's trying to bind to all addresses
[03:04] <sullyva86> mneptok: Well the screen flashes the same then reverts back when i try to enable desktop effects in the appearance tab?
[03:04] <Spherous> mneptok: Still in low-graphics mode
[03:04] <tigran> Hi. After I change my mac address, I no longer have internet.
[03:04] <mneptok> Spherous: try that applet again
[03:04] <Spherous> mneptok: same error
[03:04] <fivre> nothing's listening on the port it's trying to use
[03:04] <mneptok> sullyva86: are you using a 3D accelerated graphics driver?
[03:05] <mneptok> Spherous: boot to a previous kernel and install any and all updates.
[03:05] <bsquidwrd> where can i download ubuntu server?
[03:05] <mneptok> Spherous: sounds like some kernel modules for this current kernel are wonky
[03:05] <bustaplz> i just aborted the PC check and looked in my BIOS it, has some power management features including suspend, I just disabled all of them
[03:05] <bustaplz> i think that was probably the culprit
[03:05] <Spherous> mneptok: O.o how?
[03:05] <JackEStorm> Gnea: yeah, that was the basic issue I had here, first system it took 6months to show up on, 2nd, only 5days
[03:05] <ilec> my downloaded iso keeps producing write errors. even after i downloaded a new one.
[03:05] <mneptok> Spherous: "press <esc> to enter the grub menu" at bppt
[03:05] <mneptok> *boot
[03:06] <Spherous> mneptok: Oh, that, nah, thats not it. It has something to do with this crappy driver thing I did
[03:06] <Spherous> mneptok: I might just do a fresh install of ubuntu... again... o.o
[03:06] <sullyva86> mneptok: I don't think so.. but it used to work before i must of changed something i dunno what happened.  I did install xubuntu-desktop then when i logged back into gnome i had issues. If i could reinstall whatevers needed maybe that will fix it?
[03:06] <TechPepsi> whats a good open source dvd authoring program?
[03:06] <wers> secret
[03:08] <sullyva86> mneptok: Actually i must be for it to have worked before then right? I know its not a restricted driver if thats what you ment.

[03:18] <Gnea> TechPepsi: http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net/
[03:18] <greatchuck> tripitakit, It just says the effects couldn't be activated.
[03:19] <TechPepsi> Gnea, I was talking about ubuntu though for ppc
[03:19] <Gnea> TechPepsi: everything you'll need to know is there. the packages are available in the ubuntu repository.
[03:19] <bobertdos> greatchuck: Which drivers are you using for your GPU?
[03:19] <greatchuck> bobertdos, pardon?
[03:19] <Gnea> TechPepsi: does this look like #ubuntu-ppc?
[03:19] <tripitakit> greatchuck, is your  a 3d accelerated graphic adapter ?
[03:19] <mneptok> TechPepsi: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.04/release/
[03:19] <TechPepsi> Gnea, sorry
[03:19] <ilec> so nobody knows anything about illegal write addresses in the ISO?

[03:20] <bobertdos> greatchuck: In a terminal, type glxinfo | grep direct
[03:20] <tripitakit> which graphic adapter are u using?
[03:21] <greatchuck> bobertdos, "direct rendering: Yes"
[03:21] <bobertdos> interesting
[03:21] <greatchuck> tripitakit, is there a command to find that out?
[03:21] <TechPepsi> mneptok,  sorry
[03:22] <tripitakit> greatchuck, the one bobertdos told you..
[03:22] <justinburger> Hi, I m trying to generate an SSL CSR, but when I upload it to godaddy they're throwing back "The CSR you have created includes a possible compromised key" I verified I have the latest version, by attempting an apt-get update and getting back "openssl is already the newest version."   What should I look for?
[03:23] <bobertdos> greatchuck: Pastebin the output of glxinfo by itself: paste.ubuntu.com
[03:24] <JackEStorm> ok I give up, I have two cx88_alsa devices in my system, as well as my built on snd_hda_intel, now, I pull any of the cx88_alsa and snd_hda_intel gets index 0, but when I put the 2nd cx88_alsa back in snd_hda_intel gets index 3 ...now tweaking /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base I can get it on index 0, but a reboot, (warm or cold) it goes to index 1...what the frack am I missing?
[03:24] <alan> Would there be a reason why System>Preferences>Screen Resolution is showing 1024X768 but actual resolution is 800x600?

[03:29] <thedarkone> so css is on client side
[03:29] <bobertdos> greatchuck: I have yet to run into anyone with a Via Unichrome card who has successfully set up compiz. The drivers just don't support the features needed.
[03:29] <DigitalFiz> yes
[03:29] <histo> thedarkone: yes its the code is on the server but the client renders the page according to the style sheet
[03:29] <very_common> i need palit 2600 HD Driver for Ubuntu
[03:29] <Gnea> JackEStorm: so if the tv card gets loaded before the intel_hd does, it becomes /dev/dsp?
[03:29] <alteregoa> ehh i got a banalistic question
[03:29] <greatchuck> bobertdos, thanks, anyway. Let me think of buying something better...
[03:29] <histo> thedarkone: http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/learning
[03:29] <JackEStorm> Gnea: correct
[03:30] <alteregoa> how can i enable acoustic management?
[03:30] <very_common> :@
[03:30] <histo> very_common: what is a palit 2600 hd?
[03:30] <very_common> its a HDMI card
[03:30] <very_common> PCI E
[03:30] <tripitakit> alteregoa, alsamixer u mean?
[03:30] <bobertdos> greatchuck: What are the specs of your system otherwise? I ask because theoretically, you don't really need a top of the line card.
[03:30] <greatchuck> tripitakit, bobertdos, thank you and good bye.
[03:30] <histo> very_common: Is that a model of an ati card?
[03:30] <very_common> yes
[03:30] <tripitakit> greatchuck, :) bye

[03:30] <histo> !ati > very_common
[03:31] <very_common> histo: display is fine but sound not working
[03:32] <Gnea> JackEStorm: try adding this to /etc/modprobe.d/options : options snd_hda_intel index=0
[03:32] <histo> very_common: well why do you think you need display drivers then?
[03:32] <histo> !sound > very_common
[03:32] <bobertdos> I don't mean to be off-topic,  but what brands ship with those Via Unichrome cards?? I run into them a lot in this channel, and I'm trying to figure out why........
[03:32] <JackEStorm> Gnea: tried that already, when I do that, there is no snd_hda_intel
[03:32] <very_common> histo i m using HDMI cable
[03:32] <Efrem> jordan
[03:32] <very_common> so display is fine
[03:32] <very_common> but sound not working
[03:32] <Gnea> JackEStorm: have you tried adding similar options for the cx?
[03:32] <eirik_> im running winxp on virtualbox in ubuntu. my max resolution is limited to 1024x768 - anyone know how i can set up virtualbox to support higher resolutions?
[03:33] <histo> very_common: well your system isn't going to pump sound through the hdmi cable.
[03:33] <very_common> yesit does
[03:33] <JackEStorm> Gnea: yes, did find out that those should not be - numbers (as I thought looking at it, but positive)
[03:33] <very_common> in windows it does
[03:33] <very_common> HDMI means High definatin multimedia interface
[03:33] <histo> very_common: I know that.
[03:33] <very_common> HDMI can carry both video and audio siglans
[03:33] <very_common> signlas
[03:33] <histo> very_common: what kind of sound card do you have?
[03:34] <JackEStorm> Gnea: index=3 for the cx88_alsa gives the best result, but snd_hda_alsa changes index on each reboot
[03:34] <very_common> histo lemme check
[03:34] <JackEStorm> from 0 to 1 to 0 again
[03:34] <Gnea> JackEStorm: okay - i see why that won't work - check this out: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/MultipleCards
[03:34] <Gnea> JackEStorm: you need to make a container for each index
[03:34] <tigran> I have an atheros wireless card and whenever I change the mac address on it via macchanger I no longer have internet.I changed it on ath0, then on ath0 and wifi0, then just wifi0, and none of them worked.
[03:35] <DigitalFiz> very_common, converting dvi to hdmi will not provide you with any sound at all
[03:35] <very_common> HDA ATI HDMI sound card
[03:35] <histo> very_common: i've never seen a setup like that before. Where somehow mysteriously your video card would be able to pump sound throught he hdmi cable. There has to be some sort of software you are using in windows to do that.
[03:35] <very_common> i m onli using drivers
[03:35] <histo> very_common: unless it is all on one card
[03:35] <histo> very_common: then youneed to follow the link from ubotu about install proper drivers for your ati card.
[03:35] <Gnea> JackEStorm: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/MultipleCards#Loading_the_kernel_modules_for_multiple_cards specifically
[03:35] <very_common> and moreover i have disable default sound card from BIOS
[03:35] <histo> very_common: and perhaps search the forums ubuntuforums.org
[03:36] <very_common> ya i did
[03:36] <very_common> no help :(
[03:36] <histo> very_common: what video drivers are you using?
[03:36] <Gnea> JackEStorm: thanks for asking that, btw - i had the same problem awhile ago and could never figure it out :)
[03:36] <tigran> I have an atheros wireless card and whenever I change the mac address on it via macchanger I no longer have internet.I changed it on ath0, then on ath0 and wifi0, then just wifi0, and none of them worked.

[03:37] <JackEStorm> Gnea: it's been driving me crazy this week, I added in a DVB-S card to my mythbox, and lost audio
[03:37] <very_common> i m using this product and using HDMI cable for both audio and video
[03:37] <histo> tigran: perhaps your router is filtering by mac
[03:37] <histo> very_common: that doens't tell me what video driver you are using in ubuntu.
[03:37] <tigran> histo: nope, its disabled
[03:37] <Gnea> JackEStorm: which one?
[03:37] <very_common> its ATI driver
[03:37] <JackEStorm> WinTV-Nova-Plus-S
[03:38] <very_common> restricted ATI drivers
[03:38] <alphaman1101> Who makes the ps5-vm motherboard?
[03:38] <Frijolie> anyone know of a BitTorrent client that will validate MD5 checksums for your "on-the-fly"?
[03:38] <histo> tigran: well the process would be to take the interface down the macchanger ethx and bring the interface backup
[03:38] <alphaman1101> Also is there anyway to chage the bios boot image?
[03:38] <Frijolie> er for you "on-the-fly"
[03:38] <Infinito-> native support to a usb modem? that's unlikely even to windows I believe
[03:38] <Thedjatclubrock> Will 8.10 use Gnome *.4?
[03:38] <tigran> histo: I do that, ifconfig wifi0 down; macchanger -ea wifi0; ifconfig wifi0 up; /etc/init.d/networking restart
[03:39] <JackEStorm> Gnea: I'm going to order an S2 card this week if I can find someone I trust in NA to order from...the other DVB card is an ATI HD Wonder (ATSC/QAM card...USDVB-T)
[03:39] <histo> !who > very_common
[03:39] <AtticusHim3> I need some help with a secondary HDD
[03:39] <Gnea> JackEStorm: i'd stick with hauupage
[03:39] <histo> tigran: works for me without a hitch.
[03:39] <very_common> histo: its ATI RV630 drivers
[03:39] <tigran> histo: same card?
[03:39] <histo> !ask | AtticusHim3
[03:40] <histo> very_common: are you using the restrcited drivers or whatever the default install used?
[03:40] <very_common> histo restricted
[03:40] <AtticusHim3> Alright. I have just installed a secondary HDD and I can format it and change the label, I just can't see it in computer or actually access it. Any ideas?
[03:40] <histo> very_common: hrm... well those are drivers from ati. I would maybe check preferences by right clicking on the volume control. Also check alsamixer make sure there aren't outputs muted.
[03:41] <histo> AtticusHim3: you have to mount the drive.
[03:41] <Frijolie> in a computer techy way
[03:41] <histo> !fstab > AtticusHim3
[03:41] <histo> lol
[03:42] <RHorse> AtticusHim3, man mount
[03:42] <EvilDaemon> Is there any way to find a list of computers on a network?
[03:42] <EvilDaemon> Via command
[03:42] <AtticusHim3> Let me try it.
[03:42] <histo> God rythmbox sucks always crashes playign radio streams
[03:42] <JackEStorm> Gnea: yeah, I also have a PVR 150 in the system too, but it's hard to get hauupage DVB-S in the US, and I can't find anyone with an S2 in the US, might end up going with one of the other USB devices
[03:43] <Frijolie> what is the Amarok clone native to GTK? I can't remember
[03:43] <aaron_> anybody from Ottawa Canada in here
[03:43] <weyland> Frijolie: exaile
[03:43] <Gnea> JackEStorm: the 150 rocks
[03:43] <Frijolie> weyland: thanks...
[03:43] <histo> !offtopic | aaron_
[03:44] <Gnea> JackEStorm: haven't worked with the -S yet, though...
[03:44] <Frijolie> aaron_: a/s/l wanna chat? hehe j/k
[03:44] <very_common> histo : i think ubuntu cant recognise sound hardware
[03:44] <Gnea> Frijolie: please don't do that.
[03:44] <tigran> histo: do you have an atheros card?
[03:44] <Frijolie> Gnea: as I stated I was j/k
[03:44] <Gnea> Frijolie: then don't do it.
[03:44] <Frijolie> Gnea: poking fun
[03:44] <histo> tigran: in my laptop
[03:45] <JackEStorm> Gnea: yeah, I use that for Analog Cable, the ATI, I use for OTA ATSC and now DVB-S ..so far so good on the -S, but I need an S2, so I can get some of the FTA 8PSK stuff
[03:45] <Thedjatclubrock> win2
[03:45] <Thedjatclubrock> Oops
[03:45] <histo> very_common: check out the troubleshooting steps from ubottu
[03:45] <histo> !sound > very_common
[03:45] <Moodles> is having both 32bit and 64bit kernels possible with 1 ubuntu install (like choosing the 32bit or 64bit kernel from grub).. or do I need 2 seperate ubuntu installs?
[03:45] <EvilDaemon> Frijolie: Key words: DON'T, DO, and IT
[03:45] <histo> Moodles: you need two seperate /'s
[03:45] <tigran> histo: using windows drivers?
[03:45] <histo> Moodles: but you can use the same /home
[03:46] <Gnea> JackEStorm: oh my, i didn't even know FTA existed....
[03:46] <histo> tigran: god no
[03:46] <histo> tigran: your card should work out of the box no need for windows drivers.
[03:46] <JackEStorm> Gnea: still does, on C and Ku
[03:46] <aaron_> anybody from ottawa Canada that is using ubuntu and knows of employment
[03:46] <Frijolie> EvilDaemon: did you say "Keywords" or "Three words"?
[03:46] <Gnea> !offtopic > aaron_
[03:46] <mneptok> !ot | aaron_
[03:47] <histo> Moodles: to answer you more directly yes you need two seperate installs but you can share the same /home
[03:47] <tigran> histo: yea it does, just asking cause changing the mac doesnt work. can you think of anything for me to try?
[03:47] <bustaplz> looks like my problem is fixed, thanks everyone!
[03:47] <Frijolie> EvilDaemon: because "DON'T, DO, AND, IT" could be considered 4 words actually
[03:47] <EvilDaemon> Frijolie: Both. This is a support channel, not a see-saw channel. Go to #defocus for that.
[03:47] <bustaplz> 38 minutes idle and no issues
[03:47] <EvilDaemon> No spam
[03:47] <histo> tigran: just double check your settings when you are tryign to connect back to your network. Perhaps the channel changed or something.
[03:47] <Moodles> hmm, will 8.10 be available as a shipit request cd?
[03:48] <mneptok> Moodles: eventually, yes.
[03:48] <histo> !interpid | Moodles
[03:48] <JackEStorm> Gnea: after I get this sound issue taken care of, inbetween me trying to get this system over to frame buffer only (I hate loading X on a DVR), I'm going to see if I can pickup GEOS and get realtime weather sat images witht eh card.
[03:48] <tigran> histo: it didnt, i cant connect after it changes, no settings in my router change
[03:48] <histo> !intrepid | Moodles
[03:48] <bobertdos> tigran: You know, if I were you, I would temporarily strip the network of all security and see how far you can get from scratch.
[03:48] <Flannel> Frijolie: Bittorrent does check MD5s of what it downloads.
[03:48] <Frijolie> *Frijolie has left
[03:48] <tigran> bobertdos: already is =/
[03:49] <Frijolie> Flannel: but how does it know which MD5 sum to check if all you download is the .torrent file?
[03:49] <Gnea> JackEStorm: i would be very interested to know how well that goes
[03:49] <Frijolie> Flannel: do you have to supply the MD5s?
[03:49] <Gnea> JackEStorm: notibly, the GEOS
[03:49] <tigran> bobertdos: i read that i shouldnt change the mac on ath0, only wiif0, idk..
[03:49] <Frijolie> bobertdos: you're the support guru! You're always in here helping out.
[03:50] <JackEStorm> Gnea: I'll let you know, thats one of the reasons for me getting the -S card, as well at EMWIN
[03:50]  * bobertdos thinks
[03:50] <Gnea> aaron_: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:50] <Flannel> Frijolie: The torrent takes care of it
[03:51] <Frijolie> Flannel: so I don't have to check manually before burning to CD/DVD?
[03:51] <mneptok> Frijolie: if you use a good torrent client, no.
[03:51] <aaron_> I am using xchat and trying to get to another channel...how do I do this?
[03:51] <tigran> bobertdos: oh well
[03:51] <Flannel> Frijolie: correct.  If you download from a torrent, its been verified.
[03:51] <mneptok> aaron_: /join #channelname
[03:51] <Frijolie> mneptok: I'm using Deluge v 1.0
[03:51] <histo> aaron_: you can type in /j #nameofchannel
[03:51] <Gnea> JackEStorm: that would so rule. i'm trying to develop a mobile solution using ubuntu for weather spotting/chasing.
[03:51] <tigran> histo: thanks for the help, ill just mess with it a bit more then give up and go cry in a corner
[03:51] <mneptok> Frijolie: then you need not MD5sum your downloads
[03:52] <aaron_> thanks
[03:52] <Frijolie> mneptok: Ah, ok cool! I learned something. So the MD5 sums are for verifying a HTTP download?
[03:52] <Flannel> Frijolie: and ftp, etc.
[03:52] <mneptok> Frijolie: MD5sums can verify anything
[03:52] <Flannel> Frijolie: they're for verifying any and all images.
[03:53] <Frijolie> mneptok: yeah any file, that's right. The download method doesn't matter.
[03:53] <histo> Yes you can even use md5sums to find certain files.  I use them to find kiddy porn on computers i'm investigating.
[03:53] <JackEStorm> Gnea: thats kinda my end thought on all this as well...as well, as get enough realtime data, I can play around with some weather computer models, and work on some ideas I have of my own.
[03:54] <mneptok> histo: that's WAY out of line for this channel ...
[03:54] <mneptok> histo: not to mention it shows a complete ignorance of what md5 does ;)
[03:54] <Frijolie> histo: * Frijolie has quit ("Ex-Chat")
[03:54] <Frijolie> j/k
[03:54] <histo> mneptok: ? i'm le
[03:54] <PhilipTPixler> Hi everyone. Anyone got time to help a noob out? Lol :\
[03:54] <Flannel> Frijolie: Please take jokes to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks
[03:54] <histo> mneptok: and no its not we can search by hashes or md5sums
[03:54] <Frijolie> Flannel: you guys are hardcore today...
[03:55] <Gnea> JackEStorm: do you idle on freenode often?
[03:55] <bobertdos> PhilipTPixler: We always have time for noobs.
[03:55] <Flannel> Frijolie: theres 1300 people in this channel, we're always strict about being offtopic.
[03:55] <Flannel> !ask | PhilipTPixler
[03:55] <Frijolie> an MD5sum is a file integrity checker, right?
[03:55] <histo> mneptok: excuse my ignorance with the terminology.
[03:55] <PhilipTPixler> :D lol alright so it's pretty much about the Tkcximage error with aMsn
[03:56] <PhilipTPixler> Oh haha sorry
[03:56] <Flannel> Frijolie: It checks to make sure the hash of the file you have is the same as the hash given to you.
[03:56] <PhilipTPixler> ok er let me restrart
[03:56] <JackEStorm> Gnea: yes and no, when I'm on, i'm in #asterisk-* and or #myth*  mostly, undernet #linux, but I do tend to idle everywhere alot
[03:56] <Frijolie> Flannel: right, and is all done by some genius algorithm (to get the hash)
[03:57] <JackEStorm> Gnea: I just sometimes forget to log back in to freenode :)
[03:57] <Gnea> JackEStorm: awesome
[03:57] <DigitalFiz> i have a weird issue with my volume controls
[03:58] <Frijolie> are there any known issues with the sound volume in Flash video?
[03:58] <DigitalFiz> the icon comes up like its adjusting but the sound doesnt adjust and the icon doesnt change
[03:58] <PhilipTPixler> lol alright so it's pretty much about the Tkcximage error with aMsn. I had installed aMSN and it worked fine *after much labor* so after I did that I set to installing alot of other things which I really don't know what all I installed. So today I went to run aMsn and I received the Tkcximage failed error. I've been reading in the forums and other people have had this problem and it may have something to do with havin
[03:58] <bill_> goodmorning
[03:58] <bobertdos> Frijolie: with the VOLUME, I don't think so.......with audio in general, definitely
[03:58] <Gnea> JackEStorm: i'm usually in here and #ubuntu-offtopic, feel free to PM :)
[03:59] <Frijolie> bobertdos: I'm still having issues with my sound volume on this laptop. All suggestions have failed.
[03:59] <Frijolie> bobertdos: it just seems to happen more frequently when watching YouTube videos
[03:59] <comicinker> help: my audio doesn't work after hibernate! what can I doo?
[03:59] <bill_> after installing Ubuntu through the "Vista" stand-alone partition, ON the vista (NTFS) partition and booting on linux, i cant find the "vista" stracture. I can boot vista normally and ubuntu too, but when on ubuntu, where did my old files go?
[04:00] <bobertdos> Frijolie: I find it fairly unlikely I will be able to contribute anything new. Alsamixer is always my first suggestion.
[04:00] <Flannel> bill_: you mean with wubi?
[04:00] <Pramod> I am not being able to load the Ubuntu Desktop... the panels dissapear, the only thing i can do is pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the pc
[04:01] <Frijolie> bobertdos: I've read numerous suggestions on the forums, but without knowing what they really do I'm hesitant to try it
[04:01] <Frijolie> bobertdos: in fear that I may mess things up beyond my capability to fix
[04:01] <ubuntu> how can i re-load the grub loader
[04:01] <PhilipTPixler> So has anyone ever had that problem before (above)
[04:01] <ubuntu> after re-installing windows
[04:01] <JackEStorm> Gnea: I will, hopefully I can try and take a look at GOES12 this weekend, and I'll let you know
[04:01] <gTea> i'm looking at my ~/.profile file, and see some "if" tests, i.e.:  if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then. Could someone explain to me what the -n option means?
[04:01] <bobertdos> Frijolie: So you haven't tried alsamixer?? It internally adjusts volume levels for Alsa components.
[04:02] <Gnea> JackEStorm: with the DVB-S, have you had luck with mythtv?
[04:02] <Pramod> I am not being able to load the Ubuntu Desktop... the panels dissapear, the only thing i can do is pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the pc
[04:02] <Flannel> gTea: http://www.faqs.org/docs/bashman/bashref_68.html
[04:02] <PostersandGuitar> My ubuntu has suddenly decided that maximum is 620 by 640. It worked fine before.
[04:02] <gTea> Flannel, thanks =)
[04:02] <Flannel> !grub | sledge
[04:02] <comicinker> gTea: does man test help?
[04:02] <JackEStorm> Gnea: not yet, had sound issues :) working on that first, and the off to testing the -s all around
[04:02] <Flannel> sledge: check the first link out
[04:03] <Frijolie> bobertdos: I'm looking at alsamixer right now but it appears to have the volume set to 100%. However it says that the card and chipset is "Pulseaudio"
[04:03] <Frijolie> bobertdos: do I want to change that to Intel-hda?
