Comments:
<0> GTroy, that's completely unnecessary on just about all modern distros
<1> I have KDE and had Gnome. I deleted Gnome and now I can't use Eclipse. What packages do I need to run eclipse?
<2> eobanb: why would i put an app there than ?
<3> eobanb_heh yeah
<0> skwid_, because LSB says /opt is for extra applications?
<2> LSB ?
<0> linux standard base
<2> oh, ok
<2> url ?
<0> url for what?
<4> if i login with ssh to my linux box from a windows machine, can i use the X forwarding??
<5> is there a way to choose the monitor you have?
<6> I just did a make install of wine source, and then tried to run winecfg, and got an error: Application tries to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
<6> Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
<7> mzinz, how did you delete gnome? (I know how to do kde, and now and then see requests for removing gnome)
<2> eobanb: LSB
<4> daryl, is that for my quest?
<6> jmoncayo: no... that was my question.
<1> nickrud: i forget the command but there were like 3 different people who all had the same answer.
<6> Anyone know why my i'm getting a DISPLAY not set correctly?
<0> skwid_, uhm, well there's some info here
<0> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_standard_base
<8> I have a general computing question (actually about power consumption).... If you have two identical computers, one has a 300W power supply, the other has a 500W supply, they both draw the same watts?
<0> skwid_, and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard

<0> rixth, they are capable of drawing whatever they are rated for
<0> rixth, no more hardware questions please, that's out of the scope of this channel
<7> If I wanted to be thorough, it'd be libglib2.0-0 ; but some of the ubuntu tools depend on that. I was curious about a reasonable reomoval
<10> Alright, I went to the Terminal to run pppconfig, but it says "must be root to blah blah"
<0> Chad, so sudo pppconfig
<0> !tell Chat about sudo
<10> does my user have to be root, or do I have to be in the root folder
<0> Chad, read what ubotu sent you please..
<8> eobanb, well, actually- I have a software related question too. Do any/most motherboards have sensors that show total power drawn? (that can be pi9cked up by lmsensors, say)
<11> Chad: your user has to be in the admin group, and you have to use sudo
<10> @info sudo
<0> rixth, modern boards have sensors like that, i'm sure
<7> rixth, those are 'rated' values; actual usage depends on how many drives, what kind of video card, what extra cards, usb, and
<10> !info sudo
<9> sudo: (Provide limited super user privileges to specific users), section admin, is important. Version: 1.6.8p9-2ubuntu2.3 (breezy), Packaged size: 155 kB, Installed size: 376 kB
<10> I added my only user to the admins group
<12> !tell Chad about sudo
<12> (eobanb_ had "Chat")
<0> Chad, the first user you create on an ubuntu system is already in the sudoers file
<0> bimberi, ah, so i did :)
<10> k
<8> nickrud, Yeah, but both are identical. What I want to know is: the PSU may be RATED to draw 300 or 500w, but if the computer only needs 170w on average, both PSUs will only draw that amount from the wall, even thoguh they are rated higher?
<10> Alright
<12> eobanb_: :)
<7> etc. Identical machines, probably similar actual wattage
<13> hello, i've been using evolution email client for some time now (ubuntu breezy) and configured all the addresses, accounts and contacts on it, but just today when I tried to launch evolution, it's starting again on "Setup ***istant" like it's just the first time it's being run. how do i recover my settings and email account?
<0> rixth, did i not already say that this channel is not for hardware questions?
<7> rixth, exactly
<8> nickrud, thanks.
<10> and the reason I'm using pppconfig is cuz i can't user my modem
<10> I activate it, and it doesn't do anything. How do I dial with it?
<8> Chad, is it a winmodem?
<7> Chad, install minicom. It will allow you access to the actual at commands for your modem (***uming linux can see it)
<12> jmoncayo: only if you have X running on windows - http://x.cygwin.com/ - using VNC or FreeNX might be easier
<10> I actually dont know
<7> Chad, is it an onboard modem, or a pci modem?
<10> It's a Conexant SoftV90 Data Fax Modem
<0> jmoncayo and bimberi, you may want to check out http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/
<7> !conexant
<9> NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, nickrud
<7> Chad, you gotta pay money for connexant. Google connexant
<13> evolution on breezy help. anyone?
<4> eobanb_, is that possible?
<10> PCI I think
<0> jmoncayo, hm?
<7> Chad, that is, pay for full access to the modem, you can run it at 14.4 with
<7> a free driver
<0> nickrud, i'm not sure if that's true..
<1> I deleted Gnome and now Eclipse won't work on KDE. Which packages do I need??
<12> eobanb_: looks good - thanks :)
<10> No, i've had this thing for years
<14> kernel panic :)
<10> It's run at 30-45kbps
<7> Chad, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto?action=show&redirect=DialupHowto#head-0164869cfd1c39a2bdff939835094630ba26bdef
<14> while i remember let's address a bigger problem- anyone experience EXTREMELY long "mounting root filesystem" times?
<14> on the order of 3-4 minutes
<13> anyone here know how to recover lost email settings and account on evolution that comes with breezy badger?
<12> Trashcan: only when the fsck is forced (every 30 mounts iirc)
<7> eobanb, I may be out of date, true
<2> anyone here with an HP laptop ???
<14> its every time
<14> but yeah the fsck was forced kuz i kernel panicked :)
<0> intuos_pen, what happened between when it was working and when you lost the settings?
<10> Well I have a different modem too
<13> eobanb_: it won't open on my settings and would start just on "setup ***istant" as if i'm using it for the first time.
<3> I like this! http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu
<6> Anyone have a moment to help me with a NVIDIA DISPLAY problem?
<0> intuos_pen, so one day it was working, and then it just randomly stopped working?
<13> eobanb_: yes.
<6> !nvidia
<9> Help about installing the nVidia drivers on Ubuntu can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
<13> eobanb_: you know how to recover settings in evolution?
<2> GTroy: look at the cities
<2> that's interesting :)
<13> ubotu: help with evolution please.
<7> intuos_pen, what settings?
<0> intuos_pen, well i'm afraid you'll probably have to restore from a backup or re-create the settings yourself.
<10> K, I have an Agere Systems PCI Soft Modem
<3> skwid_: yeah it's different
<13> nickrud: evolution is starting on setup ***istant again.
<0> Chad, you said you had a conexant
<13> eobanb: that would be a last resort.
<3> skwid_: it looks like stock prices
<7> intuos_pen, the account info (what the setup ***istant sets) is kept in ~/.gconf ; did you delete that by any chance?
<2> :)
<2> GTroy: similar ..
<13> nickrud: nope.
<3> skwid_ stock for open source
<0> intuos_pen, well unless you can think of something that might have triggered your situation, i dont know how the settings were lost and thus i dont know from where or how they could be recovered. see what i'm saying?
<6> NVIDIA display problem, can anyone help?
<0> !anyone
<9> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? </hint>
<3> daryl: I can try
<14> lol
<3> eobanb_++
<13> nickrud: .gconf is still on my home directory.
<3> !karma eobanb_
<9> eobanb_ has neutral karma
<15> For anyone who's good with 'vi': Is it possible to tell vi to insert a character '#' at the beginning of the next 50 lines instead of manually inserting it 50 times?
<3> !karma GTroy
<9> gtroy has neutral karma
<3> !karma gnomefreak
<9> gnomefreak has neutral karma
<16> anyone know where the gnome startup scripts are? right now i can only boot into gnome-failsafe
<10> ALright
<3> anyway, what's the issue daryl
<10> I found a driver that should fit my other modem
<13> eobanb_: i believe that there is a file that evolution regularly checks to look at the settings and it fails to see it this time that's why it's starts on "Setup ***istant" again. I just don't know what particular file it is.
<7> intuos_pen you can examine the raw evolution account settings by running gconf-editor, then navigating to apps/evolution/mail
<10> Once I download it, how do I go about installing it?
<13> nickrud: that would be promising. i'll check it out
<10> I **** with the commands
<0> Chad, are you referring to the agere modem driver?
<10> yep
<13> damn, gnome is emulating microsoft registry structure? yay.
<0> Chad, are you sure this driver is not already in the kernel
<10> If it is it doesn't see it
<7> intuos_pen, not quite. It's just reminiscent.
<12> http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu%2C+fedora%2C+debian%2C+gentoo :)
<10> Eobanb, I dont have the line hooked up to the other modem, the Agere one.
<12> (thanks GTroy for pointing that out btw)
<17> bimberi: yeh, looks like it's goign up, just a wee bit ;-)
<3> bimberi: the google trends?
<12> GTroy: yep :)
<0> Chad, okay. can you pastebin the output of scanmodem?
