<0> BaniCity, here you can not talk in spanish sorry (aqu no puedes hablar en espaol se siente :()
<1> !nvidia
<2> somebody said nvidia was at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
<3> what's te command to remove a directory? rm keeps telling me it can't remove my directories...
<4> ok
<5> can someone tell me how to change my hostname in ubuntu?
<6> ScreaminIke, rm -r directory
<1> is it possible to enable tv out on a !nvidia graphic card
<7> how can I check if my nvidia driver is installed correctly?

<8> roryy, thanks
<5> shedi, when i tried that i got thsi error:
<9> Can anyone tell me if the best way to install a custom kernel is to use a vanilla kernel or an ubuntu source one?
<5> shedi, sudo: unable to lookup regulairty via gethostbyname()
<10> ScreaminIke: or rmdir
<11> skpl: oops. You need to update /etc/hosts too. I suspect you'll need to boot into recovery mode now (sudo won't work anymore)



<10> !python
<2> stjepan: What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<6> skpl, echo "blablablab" > /etc/hostname
<6> skpl, use sudo
<0> immolo, the ubuntun one has many external drivers included if you need one of those use the ubuntu one if not you can safely use the vanilla (i'm using it myself)
<9> erUSUL, well I like vanilla as it's more upto date but does usplash still work or does it need patching
<5> roryy, really? so boot into recovery mode and do sudo nano /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname?
<1> any readme's on how to gettvout workin on ubuntu
<11> skpl: only if sudo isn't working
<11> skpl: which it probably isn't if you edited hostname but not hosts
<5> actually all i did so far was use the hostname command
<12> whats default livecd root p***word?
<5> roryy, sudo: unable to lookup regulairty via gethostbyname()
<5> does that mean sudo is not working?
<11> skpl: yip
<5> great
<5> is this gonna screw up my system?
<7> wc
<11> been there, done that ;)
<13> how do you setup a microphone?
<14> hello
<14> I'm having problems with the fglrx drivers
<11> skpl: in fact, you can just boot into normal mode; your hostname will be restored
<0> immolo, you need patching iirci
<15> anybody know how I can patch my madwifi so I can use aireplay?
<10> !microphone
<2> I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, stjepan
<14> I've got them installed and I can run fgl_glxgears just fine
<16> noobie: What problem?
<14> however when I try to run glxgears
<5> roryy, restored to what? what it was before i changed it using hostname command?
<14> the system hard freezes
<11> skpl: yip
<1> any readme's on how to get tvout workin on ubuntu
<11> skpl: the file /etc/hostname is used at boot to set the machine's hostname
<14> and if I try any openGL games it says nosigal on my monitor or the monitor just goes black
<17> How do I get to 1280*1024 screen resolution?
<5> roryy, and then change bot /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts?
<1> !tvout
<2> Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, patrick52222
<0> !tell blindx about fixres
<11> skpl: yes. I suggest either a persistent sudo shell ( 'sudo -i' ) or having two names in /etc/hosts (i.e., have both old and new name resolve to 127.0.0.1)
<18> s there any p***word manager compatible with keep*** p***word safe?
<19> how do I change the percentage value of a cenity --progress dialog?
<1> how do i enable tv out on a nvidia graphic card on linux ubuntu
<5> roryy, i have no idea what you just said
<13> how come I can't capture audio from my microphone?
<14> any ideas how it could be fixed?
<11> skpl: basically, be careful ;). It is easy to lock yourself out of sudo doing this
<20> I have a question again:)
<5> roryy, doing what? im simply going to wait for my dist-upgrade to finish then retsrat my computer and hope it works like you said it would
<1> how do i enable tv out on a nvidia graphic card on linux ubuntu, anyone as i want to test my projector out
<12> does any1 know of a program for ubuntu in which i can recover partitions?
<14> patrick52222: install nvidia-settings
<20> haow can I make my pc to change the MAC adress of my eht0
<11> skpl: i thought you wanted to change your hostname; if not, never mind
<21> hello people, I have just installed ubuntu 5.10, there is a surprising thing: he never asked me to choose the root p***word. Is this normal??
<1> noobie: i have
<14> patrick52222: then in there there should be a TV out section
<20> and this must be at the boot time
<5> roryy, i do want to change it, by editing both /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts



<11> !tell Yan^ about rootsudo
<5> roryy, that should not be too risky, right?
<14> also my fglrx-control returns command not found :(
<0> !tell Yan^ about root
<22> any suggestions for cd burning software that can burn directly from an mp3 to cd
<5> gnomebaker
<10> can I change language for ALL apps?
<5> or not
<11> skpl: it's not really risky (after all, you can always boot into recovery mode to fix it), but it's easy to get wrong
<5> i dont care
<5> roryy, is it possible to irc in recovery mode?
<22> nope gnomebaker doesn't burn straight from mp3
<5> roryy, that is all i want to know, so i can come here for help if i do screw it up
<16> rick52222: install nvidia-settings
<16> 19:41 <20> haow can I make my pc to change the MAC adress of my eht0
<16> 19:41 <11> skpl: i thought you wanted to change your hostname; if not, never mind
<11> skpl: i don't know. i don't think it's recommended to irc as root ;)
<20> minimec, yes this is the question
<5> no, i do not suppose so
<5> i can always boot into xp if something goes terribly wrong though
<20> minimec, a script which mak the changes
<21> roryy, erUSUL: many thanks for the info. This is very surprising!! never seen a Linux distro like that. why is it so??
<16> stamen81: sorry. This was completly accidental ;)
<20> I want to make it to change the phisical address of my ethernet card
<20> without me
<0> Yan^, better security i guess
<23> hi channel
<20> minimec, so dou know something for this
<20> minimec, ideas
<20> minimec, ?:)
<10> can I apply a language for all apps?
<16> stamen81: it's like you highlight some accidently and press the paste button.
<20> minimec, :)
<20> minimec, ok
<11> skpl: basically, use 'sudo -i' so you can lose root, in at least one shell; then, no matter what happens, you can fix it without rebooting
<11> skpl: i mean, *can't* lose root
<16> anyway, why do you want to change the MAC Adress of eth0?
<21> erUSUL: well i tried just to type "apt-get install [smth]" and he said you are not a root. Do u mean these things can be handled through sudo?
<16> stamen81: anyway, why do you want to change the MAC Adress of eth0?
<5> roryy, so using sudo -i i can change my hostname by editing .etc.hosts and /etc/hostname without rebooting?
<0> Yan^, yes type sudo apt-get .... and you are done
<21> erUSUL thanx ;)
<20> because I want and I need to do this
<24> hi all
<23> ppl i have a very strange problem
<23> my dns # changed to 192.168.1.1 every 10 min.
<23> and i have to change it back
<5> call your service provider and ask them
<10> for what apps I can't change lang in Ubuntu?
<5> probably get more help from techsupport
<23> u think so ?
<5> definately.
<14> is there anything I need to install to get fglrx-control to work?
<5> s'what i do deweduh
<23> cant i protect the resolv.confg against changing ?
<0> noobie, if it is apt should have installed it for you
<23> i tryed to make it read only , i did but it changed again
<0> curuptura, no
<23> i see
<14> erUSUL: I installed it but when i type fglrx-control in a terminal to open it I get fglrx-control: command not found
<5> roryy, so using sudo -i i can change my hostname by editing .etc.hosts and /etc/hostname without rebooting?
<0> curuptura, it says it clearly in the begining of the file
<16> stamen81: ok. Try this... ifconfig eth0 ether hw xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
<10> how do you pronounce "FAQ"? :))))))
<20> I know this
<25> "Ef Aye Cue"
<26> Hi...how do I check the checksum of dapperdrakes iso? thanks
<11> skpl: 'sudo -i' gives you a persistent root shell; as opposed to, say, 'sudo nano /etc/hosts', where, once nano finishes, you lose root privileges
<0> curuptura, man resolv.conf (yes there are man pages for conf files ;))
<11> hrm
<11> nm
<20> minimec, but after reboot I must write this again
