| * nickrud was wondering what humorous thing to write about umbuntu, but soundray_ cut to the chase :) | 00:00 |
| onats | its not that hard to spell, given you're using a keyboard | 00:00 |
| TigranG | or a brain | 00:00 |
| inzeo | littlebear72: skills? no, lucky encounters? perhaps haha | 00:00 |
| taff | umbuntu | 00:00 |
| onats | lol | 00:00 |
| soldats | hmm some people are getting mean these days | 00:00 |
| littlebear72 | lol | 00:00 |
| taff | answer all your questions | 00:01 |
| onats | i don't think thats mean | 00:01 |
| TigranG | no such thing as mean | 00:01 |
| soldats | hah i was kidding | 00:01 |
| TigranG | just absence of kindness :P | 00:01 |
| jobu1543 | I have a broken software RAID1 that drops to BusyBox upon boot. Does anyone have any suggestions/urls that might help? | 00:01 |
| soldats | TigranG, yes | 00:01 |
| littlebear72 | i have tried it 3 times now and each time something went wrong in my life and i did not have time to learn ubu / nix and needed the comfort of a simplistic program like windoze lol | 00:01 |
| bamsamba | can someone reccommend me a good download manager other than Kget? something as good as free-download-manager on Windows in case anyone's heard of it | 00:01 |
| soundray_ | soldats: arithmetic, harmonic or geometric mean? | 00:01 |
| aleka | soundray_: HOw can I change the sample rate in audacity then... I should probably restart to clear whatever is using the soundcard and start from there | 00:01 |
| littlebear72 | i knew windoze well so i use it when my life runs amok | 00:01 |
| onats | finally fixed my apt-cacher! whew! | 00:02 |
| IamReck | bamsamba, Downthemall | 00:02 |
| taff | read those books and you will be aswering all the questions | 00:02 |
| inzeo | littlebear72: my main desktop runs windows, my laptop ubuntu - desktop does....games...thats it haha | 00:02 |
| * TigranG tried to compile a kernel yesterday and learned he's dumber than he thought | 00:02 |
| delfos | when i get to login screen the font size is really big, cant read ok, after login ubuntu prompts a window saying that the X-conf and the GNOME-conf files have different keyboard values.. Do you know ehat goes wrong? | 00:02 |
| soldats | soundray_, hah you got me | 00:02 |
| inzeo | littlebear72: use my laptop for everything else, including work stuff (in a windows environment) | 00:02 |
| * nickrud thinks compiling a kernel is not a measure of intelligence, but of perseverance | 00:02 |
| bamsamba | littlebear72, i run it on virtual box :P | 00:02 |
| soundray_ | aleka: sounds like a good plan. Sorry, I'm not the best guy to advise on audio issues, contrary to what my nick might be seen to suggest | 00:02 |
| TigranG | nickrud: well I got it lol, wasn't hard actually, just took forever | 00:03 |
| aleka | Heh.. that is what led me to believe you would be the 'perfect' person to bother :) | 00:03 |
| TigranG | and then I was too lazy to build ndiswrapper for my wifi so I just went back to 2.6.22 | 00:03 |
| nickrud | the one real sound expert doesn't come around much anymore ;( | 00:03 |
| soundray_ | crimsun: would you mind having a look at aleka's issue? | 00:03 |
| bamsamba | IamReck, well isnt downthemall a firefox ext? i can't find that using apt-get | 00:04 |
| IamReck | bamsamba, yes it is, it runs with in firefox and its amazing. | 00:04 |
| soldats | aleka, what was your initial problem | 00:04 |
| Iggz | Hi, installede the kde desk-top but didn't like it - anyway, this caused umbutu to upgrade itself to kumbutu - login screen, duel desktop log, etc. How to i return it to the single boot, one desktop state? I am assuming a long command line. Anyone help? :-) | 00:05 |
| bamsamba | heh, ok, lemme try | 00:05 |
| * bascule knows compiling kernels is easy, configuring them takes practice and knowledge | 00:05 |
| aleka | soldats: What is a good application to record stereo output from my soundcard other than Audacity? For some reason audcacity is not working for me and am wondering what other options there are... | 00:05 |

| fabio_ | hi i just compiled the hardy 2.6.24 kernel with some patches on my gutsy amd64 system. all went fine. but problem is, it only built a linux-headers-2.6.24-1 package and not also a linux-headers-2.6.24 which is needed to install the first one | 00:08 |
| Jordan_U | littlebear72, You should upgrade | 00:08 |
| fabio_ | any help? | 00:08 |
| fabio_ | i followed the steps on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile to compile | 00:09 |
| justinh | hiya folks. got an interesting little tickler for you. I've got a gutsy install I've been trying to convert to netbooted - so far it's gone pretty well.. the pxelinux.0 is doing its thing and the kernel with initrd image is loading. But during boot the kernel panics. just before that I see http://www.pastebin.ca/808879 - so I think maybe it's trying to initialise eth0 when it doesn't have to and is consequently losing /. | 00:09 |
| soundray_ | fabio_: you don't really need headers if you have the complete source | 00:09 |
| fabio_ | hmm but nvidia-installer is complaining | 00:10 |
| onats | has anyone used azureus html web gui here? doesn't seem to be working on my installation | 00:10 |
| fabio_ | that it can't find the include/linux/version.h file | 00:10 |
| fabio_ | i used --kernel-source-path pointing to my source | 00:10 |
| waseem | my usb pads show up in device manager but dont respond in gxmame can somebody help please | 00:10 |
| soldats | aleka, have you tried jokosher | 00:11 |
| soldats | its more advanced but im not sure why audacity isnt working | 00:11 |
| sharpie | why does rsync start as a service on startup? | 00:11 |
| aleka | soldats: Will do...didn't think it was stable enough last time I looked at it... Thanks~ | 00:11 |
| kitche | sharpie: because it's a service] | 00:11 |
| sharpie | kitche: but it's run manually | 00:11 |
| soldats | aleka, hmm i heard it was stable but id look into it if you really want to edit music | 00:11 |
| kitche | sharpie: umm the client does | 00:12 |
| kitche | sharpie: but it's also a daemon | 00:12 |
| sharpie | kitche: that does..what? | 00:12 |
| kitche | sharpie: so rsync the client can be used to rsync files | 00:12 |
| aleka | soldats: My basic need right now is being able to record playing music (kinda like replay radio in windows)... have stuff on my rhapsody playlist I want to record | 00:13 |
| dyerotic | question...i have just installed ubuntu...and im stuck in 800x600 and i wanna chuk my monitor out the window | 00:13 |
| TigranG | aleka: You can try Sound Recorder | 00:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dyerotic: Hold off on that option for a few | 00:13 |
| TigranG | aleka: it comes with ubuntu | 00:13 |
| dyerotic | what do you mean Jack_Sparrow?? i cant stand 800x600 and i tried that guide on the website and it didnt help | 00:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dyerotic: from cli.. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:13 |
| sharpie | kitche: so..if i disable it, i won't be able to rsync? | 00:13 |
| dyerotic | ive done that i believe, and it still messes me up | 00:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dyerotic: Vesa driver will get you 1024x768 if you get locked out | 00:14 |
| dyerotic | im gonna do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:14 |
| dyerotic | and see how it goes | 00:14 |
| soundray_ | sharpie: you can use rsync without rsyncd, but with reduced capabilities | 00:14 |
| aleka | soldats , TigranG >> Thanks | 00:14 |
| sharpie | soundray_: what do you mean by "reduced capabilities"? | 00:15 |
| dyerotic | ok so i should choice vesa Jack_Sparrow? | 00:15 |
| sharpie | soundray_: what won't i be able to do? | 00:15 |
| kitche | sharpie: no you will be able to but you just can't rsync files from that computer to another | 00:15 |
| TigranG | aleka: What I did to get recording working is in Volume Control increase the 'In Gain' | 00:15 |
| soldats | aleka, ahh i get what you need. im not too sure but i think jokosher should suffice for now if it works. i do recording for bands but i use more professionla recording eqiptment for tha | 00:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dyerotic: try to setup your video card and monitor to their specs, but if you cant get it go to veas to get back here | 00:15 |
| sharpie | kitche: oh, meaning that if i only rsync locally between drives, i can cancel the daemon? | 00:15 |
| xcst | compiz fusion is working in my gutsy, how can i customize it | 00:15 |
| enigmata | <ubotu> None of those links did anything, I've already ran through the troubleshooting before. | 00:15 |
| Kohvihoor | why does my screen go black for a second, everytime i start a video? | 00:15 |
| Kohvihoor | ati video card+fglrx drivers | 00:15 |
| dyerotic | ok ill try | 00:15 |
| soundray_ | sharpie: rsync with rsyncd can sync files by transferring only the differing parts, for example. | 00:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | enigmata: you are talking to a bot.. | 00:16 |
| enigmata | oh | 00:16 |
| enigmata | well, that was embaracinbg | 00:16 |
| soundray_ | Jack_Sparrow: don't give it away so quickly ;) | 00:16 |
| * TigranG never gets old (seeing ppl talk to bots) | 00:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 00:16 |
| onats | is there a codec for m4a? | 00:16 |
| soldats | hahahah | 00:16 |
| sharpie | soundray_: so if i only rsync locally, can i safely disable rsyncd? | 00:17 |
| littlebear72 | lol | 00:17 |
| TigranG | onats: I think there is | 00:17 |
| soundray_ | sharpie: it's safe to disable it in any case | 00:17 |
| TigranG | onats: with VLC player | 00:17 |
| hairs2long | justinh: why dont you need the network? | 00:17 |

| hairs2long | hmm, probably not then | 00:34 |
| whyameye | I've spent some time reading the automatix link. It's a tough problem. As long as the ubuntu community asks people to do things "by hand" we aren't really offering any real alternative to commerical OSes...so maybe there'll be a better solution soon.... | 00:34 |
| littlebear72 | inzeo: your solution worked perfect | 00:34 |

| timotimotimo | whyameye: I agree | 00:35 |
| gunspoja | sorry just "3", not 3G | 00:35 |

| Xdange1 | can kmobiletools be used to transfer files between phone & PC | 00:38 |
| soldats | waseem, does it work, if you get a message sent to you it show up a different color, so if you send a message it should say <name>; "message to send" | 00:38 |
| justinh | hairs2long: heh that's what I get for following random howto guides | 00:38 |
| littlebear72 | is that not what you wanted | 00:38 |
| hairs2long | justinh: if you dont have an initrd and are using NFS from the kernel, then use nfsroot parameters | 00:38 |
| waseem | soldats: why does it show your name in the message too | 00:38 |
| Zog | um, I need some help setting up a dual boot... | 00:38 |

| littlebear72 | do you want to send a private message or a public message thats directed at the user waseem | 00:39 |
| hairs2long | justinh: with direct NFS from the kernel, you dont need the initrd, but the kenrel will need to rebuilt with NIC driver and NFS support built in (not modules) | 00:39 |
| waseem | has anyone used xmame here? | 00:39 |
| soccer_hawk10 | hey all. can someone tell me why the super+C command doesn't work in amaroK in 7.10? | 00:40 |
| hairs2long | justinh: if using initrd, you need to have NIC and NFS modules in initrd, and the init script should connect and pivot root | 00:40 |
| justinh | hairs2long: aye that's the way I used to do it many moons ago on gentoo. haven't yet successfully built & installed my own kernel on ubuntu yet though | 00:40 |
| soccer_hawk10 | it's supposed to be a play/pause command, but it is ineffective | 00:40 |
| gunspoja | ok ubuntu DOES detect that the modem was put in, but it doesn't show up any wireless connections in the network settings app | 00:40 |
| littlebear72 | where do i look to get the list of wether apt-get or aptitude has the file virtual box in it | 00:40 |

| soccer_hawk10 | ah, that'll work too i suppose | 00:41 |
| littlebear72 | lol thanks | 00:41 |
| hairs2long | some people prefer the initrd because they can make it break out for troubleshooting purposes with a minimal os | 00:41 |
| soccer_hawk10 | hey all. can someone tell me why the super+C command doesn't work in amaroK in 7.10? | 00:41 |
| Zog | um, reading that link doesn't answer my question- it's probably something really basic, but... I'd rather not make a mistake here. | 00:42 |
| hairs2long | I prefer the simpler method, and refuse any hardware I cant recomplie the drivers for | 00:42 |
| justinh | hairs2long: I'll have another play with initrd & see how I get on. if not, then I'll go with building my own kernel for a trip down memory lane. and if that doesn't work I could always buy a big usb stick ;) | 00:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | Zog: well, we aren't mind readers. | 00:42 |

Now i'm trying to install ubuntu 6.9 (not 100 percent on the version), and i'm at the partitoin screen.

| gunspoja | littlebear72, you got a link to those forums? | 00:46 |
| kelsin | Zog: just need to do the partitioning using the "manual" method (at least that's what it is in current installers), and then set up your partitions how you want | 00:46 |
| littlebear72 | you been to whirlpool forums ? | 00:46 |
| kitche | xcst: sure emerald is in gutsy might have ot install it though | 00:46 |

| weith | i have a problem to install the amd64 version of ubuntu gutsy (7.10). when i want to start with the live cd i havent any screen after the language selection. what can i do? with the 32 bit version it works fine. | 00:47 |
| kelsin | MLeBlanc: perfect, you run in opengl, if you have a good graphics card and working drivers then it runs fine | 00:47 |
| soldats | soccer_hawk10, i thought the spacebar does that. try looking at the preferences menu i believe there is a key config menu for it. if there isnt im not sure. i haven t used it in a while | 00:47 |
| MLeBlanc | kelnsin: Might a 6600GT qualify as a good graphics card? I know it's a bit old. | 00:47 |
| soldats | MLeBlanc, depends on your system | 00:47 |
| Xero | ciao | 00:47 |
| Zog | okay, after manual, I'm guessing I set the bootable flag as on- and... then what do i need to set? ext2, or ext3? | 00:47 |
| jimjam | How do I use S-Video out with Ubuntu? | 00:47 |
| Xero | :list | 00:48 |
| gunspoja | soundray_, in dmesg, there are a bunch of messages saying that it detected a GSM modem | 00:48 |
| kelsin | MLeBlanc: if it runs wow in windows good enough for you, then it will do the same with linux | 00:48 |
| teknoprep | w0ot fixed my hibernate | 00:48 |
| erUSUL | xcst: i didnt understand the question... you can us the normal compiz gtk decorator | 00:48 |
| teknoprep | just changed how it put the computer into hibernate | 00:48 |
| MLeBlanc | soldats: What would you say about Xubuntu on an AMD Athlon 2600+, 1GB ram, nVidia GeForce 6600GT | 00:48 |
| soccer_hawk10 | soldats: nah, this is universal. it controls amarok from any screen. using the Super+B command, for example, skips the song even if i'm using firefox or any other program. i tried to change the shortcut key, but none work | 00:48 |
| Rafabe | hello...I am installing linux for the first time, Ubuntu 7.10 on a P3 1GHz with 256mb of RAM. On the install screen , I looked at the help and it said I needed 384 mb of RAM to install it. I googled for more info, and supposedly I can use other memory managers than Gnome, but how do I install the OS in the first place so I can replace Gnome? | 00:49 |
| hairulfr | Just reinstalled - wasn't there an art manager once? | 00:49 |
| teknoprep | amarok owns | 00:49 |
| MLeBlanc | kelsin: I am considering this for an install on an old PC, I have never tried running WoW on it. | 00:49 |
| DIL | weith, most software is 32bit anyway | 00:49 |
| soundray_ | gunspoja: I see -- in that case you shouldn't be looking for a wireless interface. Configure ppp instead. | 00:49 |
| soldats | MLeBlanc, hah that should run pretty good as far as i now but i think WOW prefers to run with 2gigs of ram | 00:49 |
| gunspoja | soundray_, how do i do that? I've never used wireless before :( | 00:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | Zog: i dont' usually use the Live CD, but is there an option to like, "Use free space" or something like that | 00:49 |
| MLeBlanc | soldats: Alrighty, I'll give it a shot. Thanks a lot! | 00:49 |
| teknoprep | Rafabe, the reason you need 384 is becuase the cd is a live install... i would suggest installed xubuntu on that machine | 00:49 |
| timotimotimo | rafabe: you might want to consider a different distro or an older version of ubuntu | 00:49 |
| kelsin | Rafabe: download the alternate cd and use that to install a command line system, or just to complete the normal installation. At either point you can then install any other packages you want (including other light wight windows managers) | 00:49 |
| soundray_ | gunspoja: System-Administration-Network-Modem connection | 00:49 |
| Rafabe | tek: will it give me the option to use Xubuntu on the installation if I proceed? | 00:49 |
| soldats | soccer_hawk10, hmm sorry i havent used it in a while if the commands or config dont work id try the amarok main site | 00:50 |
| gunspoja | errr...huh | 00:50 |
| soccer_hawk10 | soldats: alright, thanks | 00:50 |
| xcst | erUSUL, how about the themes? how can i install it? the theme files are all .emerald | 00:50 |
| gunspoja | is that a program or something i need to run in a terminal? | 00:50 |
| void^ | DIL: that's only true for closed source software | 00:50 |
| soundray_ | gunspoja: does dmesg give you any indication of the device name? | 00:50 |
| waseem | whats the command if i want to uninstall an application? | 00:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | timotimotimo that is borderline ridiculous advice to Rafabe | 00:50 |
| Rafabe | kelsin: so no way to get this standard Desktop CD to install? I have to download a different version? | 00:50 |
| teknoprep | Rafabe, dunno never installed it.. but its basically the same thing as ubuntu just using xfce4 for its windows manager | 00:50 |
| noname6243 | is it safe to say that If my computer has atleast 3 errors in memtest86, it have a problem with my memory ? | 00:50 |
| soldats | MLeBlanc, WOW is pretty big and always wants a lot of memory so im only saying it might not run so smooth | 00:50 |
| kelsin | waseem: "sudo apt-get remove <app>" or "sudo apt-get purge <app>" to remove config files as well | 00:50 |
| soundray_ | gunspoja: are you using Ubuntu? | 00:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | Rafabe: no no no... you'll need to do one of two things... add ram, or download the alternate install CD. | 00:50 |
| waseem | k thanks | 00:51 |
| DIL | k | 00:51 |
| erUSUL | xcst: the themes for emerald can only be used with emerald of course the default compiz uses metacity themes afaik | 00:51 |
| MLeBlanc | soldats: Understood. | 00:51 |
| kelsin | Rafabe: *Alternate* desktop cd, it's a checkbox at the bottom of the ubuntu download page | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Rafabe: you can also look into Xubuntu | 00:51 |
| Rafabe | Allright, so I'll download the other version then. Thanks. | 00:51 |
| databits | hey whats up everyone | 00:51 |
| waseem | kelsin: would you say purge is better when planning to re-install a different version of the app? | 00:51 |
| noname6243 | is it safe to say that If my computer has atleast 3 errors in memtest86, I have a problem with my memory ? | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Rafabe: same version(gutsy 7.10) | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Rafabe: you just want a different installer, you want the Alternate Install CD | 00:51 |
| soundray_ | gunspoja: see the menus in the upper left corner? | 00:51 |
| kelsin | Rafabe: yeah it doesn't use the livecd system, just gives you the standard (just as easy) text mode installer, will install fine, then you can install whatever you want (plenty of light choices out there) | 00:51 |
| Rafabe | that's what I meant...the "alternative" 7.10 version | 00:52 |
| Zog | is ext3 preferable to ext2? | 00:52 |
| kelsin | Zog: yes | 00:52 |
| noname6243 | ye | 00:52 |
| Rafabe | I understand what you mean | 00:52 |

| gunspoja | the laptop is the one with the wireless adpater | 00:52 |

| gunspoja | *adapter | 00:52 |
| soundray_ | gunspoja: good. Do you see the three menus on the left side of the top panel? | 00:53 |

| danc3 | abadtooth: OK, so what version is in the package manager? | 02:20 |
| Pelo | Kalamansi, .exe files are generaly for windows applications, they don't work natively on linux, consider using wine to use them | 02:20 |
| Pelo | !wine | Kalamansi | 02:20 |
| ubotu | Kalamansi: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 02:20 |
| Babble | Pelo, there is an option for use CD_ROM drives.. don't see anything for writing.. I'm assuming that use is read and write | 02:20 |

| Pelo | Babble, if it was a long time ago the drive might have gotten dirty on the write head | 02:22 |
| danc3 | abadtooth: I don't know then... you'll probably have to compile from source | 02:22 |

| abadtooth | danc3: I've never been able to figure that out | 02:23 |
| Kalamansi | !AppDB | 02:23 |
| ubotu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 02:23 |

| Kalamansi | Pelo : is there any command to type in terminal directly for wine installed? | 02:24 |
| danc3 | abadtooth: to compile it? I would think so, but not certain. | 02:24 |
| danc3 | abadtooth: depends on your hardware, largely. | 02:25 |
| SpookyET | hi | 02:25 |
| huh | enigmata, there's a readme inside the source telling you how to compile | 02:25 |
| abadtooth | danc3: top end here... | 02:25 |

| m1r0 | benzs_s: think no | 02:28 |

| kelsin | RootyRootRootWoo: just google linux windows managers, xfce and kde are also full desktops but there are a million other windows managers that can be run | 02:34 |
| Flannel | RootyRootRootWoo: If your card can handle gnome, it can handle KDE. You might try that. There are a lot more choices as well, obviously. Perusing synaptic might be good | 02:34 |

| soldats | swee yah | 02:51 |
| soldats | see yah** | 02:51 |
| huh | Martin___, if not look into wireless-tools | 02:51 |
| jk__ | mogra: it's just time thing? you sure? | 02:52 |
| jk__ | mogra: you confirmed that by just letting it sit, doing absolutely nothing, and *poof* no sound ? | 02:52 |
| qt-x | dose sombody use ircII ? | 02:52 |
| Martin___ | huh: ok, lemme try wireless-tools... lemme grab it and install it first from repo | 02:53 |
| [digit] | ha | 02:53 |
| Flannel | qt-x: Most use irssi | 02:53 |

| adamonline45 | Is there a package for dvd2avi | 02:53 |
| adamonline45 | ? | 02:53 |
| jk__ | meoblast: i'm not 100% sure it'll do video for ogg actually, but it's a good bet | 02:53 |
| meoblast001 | why does Kino cause memory leaks while importing files? | 02:53 |
| [digit] | the speed in network manager says 54 Mb/s, yet i still cant get over 200 KB/s | 02:54 |
| d3MMoNuL` | mneptok seems that in lspci it`s a PCI ethernet card :) | 02:54 |
| [digit] | its so strange | 02:54 |
| adamonline45 | meoblast001: The developer probably assigns memory dynamically and forgot to free it after he was done with it... | 02:54 |
| meoblast001 | well it acts simmaller to my memory leaks | 02:55 |
| meoblast001 | the system slows | 02:55 |
| meoblast001 | then it stops functioning | 02:55 |
| Kalamansi | soldats : inkscape ? | 02:55 |
| meoblast001 | to the point where only moving the mouse works | 02:55 |
| adamonline45 | meoblast001: Ahh, can't help ya with the high-level stuff 8) | 02:55 |
| soldats | Kalamansi, well it really depends on what you want to do, what do you need photoshop for | 02:56 |
| meoblast001 | it hasnt slowed this time yet | 02:56 |
| qt-x | how do i connect to an irc server on port 5050 or 8080 or 80 ? | 02:56 |
| meoblast001 | but its taking forever | 02:56 |
| Condoulo | I have a question about KDE4. Will it be worth using when it comes out? | 02:56 |
| d3MMoNuL` | IndyGunFreak what`s whit the eth0:avah ...? | 02:56 |
| Condoulo | qt-x- what IRC client do you use? | 02:56 |
| Flannel | qt-x: using which program? | 02:56 |
| Kalamansi | soldats : install in ubuntu 7.10 desktop if possible | 02:57 |
| Flannel | Condoulo: Most would say yes I believe. You'll get a better answer in #kubuntu. | 02:57 |
| qt-x | right now chatzilla | 02:57 |
| Condoulo | Flannel- Ah. Ok. :) | 02:57 |
| Martin___ | huh: I got madwifi-tools installed | 02:57 |
| soldats | Kalamansi, yes i understand but for what purpose do you NEED photoshop for, if you want to edit raster graphics or edit or create vector graphics | 02:57 |
| Baumer | I get this error when I try to test my recording under the sound settings before it freezes: Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' | 02:57 |

| reportingsjr | How do I restart the screen thing? My resolution is restricted to 800x600 (once again) and I don't have an option for any larger ones. | 02:58 |
| hairulfr | reportingsjr: ctrl + alt + backspace | 02:58 |
| hairulfr | reportingsjr: You may have to manually enter the resolutions in xorg | 02:59 |
| Kalamansi | soldats: creat logo | 02:59 |
| soldats | reportingsjr, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" is a way to do it in the terminal but if you do it this way you need to read the pagers carefully and use default on most things | 02:59 |
| Condoulo | qt-x- I am not 100% sure, but on the preferences for an IRC server you connected to (FIle preferences on Chatzilla I think), there is an option to enter a port number. I am not 100% sure because I don't have Chatzilla extensions installed. | 02:59 |
| ekim|linux | Does anyone use adesklets ? | 02:59 |
| reportingsjr | That did.. nothing, except log me off. | 02:59 |
| huh | luks is cool | 02:59 |
| hairulfr | Anyone know what the the icon for "homefolder" and "desktop" are called? | 03:00 |
| huh | I can hide stuff | 03:00 |
| ekim|linux | anyhow | 03:00 |
| ekim|linux | I can't get adesklets to work | 03:00 |
| ekim|linux | I installed the gutsy package | 03:00 |
| ekim|linux | and ran adesklets_installer -t and I get an error | 03:00 |
| ekim|linux | then with -n and -r | 03:00 |
| d3MMoNuL` | when i restart the network settings at some point finds some DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 but at the end i get no DCHPOFFERS (No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.) | 03:00 |
| qt-x | this irc client was a fast solution for now but o other computer i have access only on those ports | 03:00 |
| ekim|linux | -t is for Tk -r for Raw terminal and -n for ncurses | 03:00 |
| onats | !vnc | 03:00 |
| ubotu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 03:00 |
| ekim|linux | but I keep getting some python tracebacks | 03:00 |
| adamonline45 | What's a good codec to use in k9copy for ripping a dvd? And a good bitrate? I'm a DVD noob 8) | 03:01 |
| Xaero_Vincent | can freenx be used to access windows apps from linux | 03:01 |
| Xaero_Vincent | ? | 03:01 |
| d3MMoNuL` | mneptok eny ideas? :| | 03:01 |
| Xaero_Vincent | or just the opposite? | 03:01 |
| soldats | Kalamansi, ok well when doing logos its best to do it in a format that lets you resize it to whatever size you want without pixelating the image. so for you i woudl suggest inkscape because it is a vector program specifically for logos and vectors. you may use "the GIMP" as well for logos since it is a very advanced program for photo editing and is simialr to photoshop. the only difference between GIMP and photo shop is photoshop can handle | 03:02 |
| soldats | vectors and GIMP cant. but if you use the gimp and inkscape together you should never need another photo program | 03:02 |
| elcasey | I'm having trouble with gparted. It scans for devices and never stops, and then I get an error about /dev/fd0 being mounted read-only, but I don't even have a floppy. Any ideas? I just installed a new 750GB HDD and tried to do it manually but...that didn't work out like I thought it would. | 03:02 |
| Pulshion | hi, does anyone know hot to make mplayer work if you have compiz running? | 03:02 |
| ekim|linux | compiz shouldn't break mplayer | 03:02 |
| elcasey | nope, mplayer runs fine for me | 03:02 |
| qt-x | so ther is a method that i do not know without connecting to an ssh server on this port ? | 03:03 |
| elcasey | Pulshion: try removing and reinstalling it | 03:03 |
| Pulshion | it doesnt break it, no video, but sound works | 03:03 |
| onats | is there anyway i can login/startup an ubuntu pc, remotely? | 03:03 |
| onats | will it be via vnc? | 03:03 |
| Pulshion | when i disable the compiz then everything works fine | 03:03 |
| vladc | Hi, what is the tool used to remaster Ubuntu? | 03:04 |
| Kalamansi | soldats : where to get inkscape? thanks | 03:05 |
| Martin___ | when I try /etc/init.d/networking restart I get No DHCPOFFERS received for the atheros wifi | 03:05 |
| d3MMoNuL` | so i cant use ubuntu on a DHCP automatic connection right? | 03:05 |
| soldats | Kalamansi, sudo apt-get install inkscape | 03:05 |
| elcasey | d3MMoNuL`: yes you can | 03:05 |
| d3MMoNuL` | Martin___ i get the exact same thing on my cable connection | 03:05 |
| mneptok | d3MMoNuL`: did you pastebin the file? | 03:05 |
| xcst | !gdesklets | 03:06 |

| Baumer | Ok so i got the recorder to stop getting stuck... but now it doesn't record any sound... | 03:07 |
| d3MMoNuL` | cant understand why in windows everything works fine and when i`m on the ubuntu live cd doesnt work | 03:07 |
| === David|V is now known as kraeutermann |
| Pulshion | hi, does anyone know how to make mplayer work if you have compiz running? If i switch video output to x11 it works, but on default xv it doesnt work...is x11 good or bad? | 03:08 |
| elcasey | d3MMoNuL`: it sounds like you don't have the correct drivers installed for your wifi. this can be a problem with livecd versus local install. | 03:08 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: If you want to do vector stuff, you should check out inkscape. GIMP is a raster based program. | 03:08 |
| soldats | adamonline45, yes it very much supports layers but as i recall it does not support vectors inkscape is a far superior program for them. i tend to use gimp in accordace with inkscape for my needs in logos and other designs | 03:08 |

| Pulshion | soldats, whats is the difference then? | 03:11 |
| soldats | Pulshion, compiz seems to have many problems with that sort of stuff | 03:11 |
| huh | d3MMoNuL`, stuff usually on a livecd is permanent... it is read only | 03:12 |
| huh | d3MMoNuL`, You need to edit it on a hard drive and remaster the image.. | 03:12 |
| Kalamansi | soldats : downloading it now.first time tho..what about alternative for dreamweavercs3? | 03:12 |
| soldats | Pulshion, for some reason i see many people having confusion with compiz for video desktop effects and audio codecs, it seems that you may need to do a thurough search for codecs for your needs | 03:12 |

| TheSohnly | http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_enable_WPA_with_Ndiswrapper_driver | 03:29 |
| huh | TheSohnly, when I had your problem I got a dlink and installed madwifi | 03:30 |
| Ashfire908 | Pici: because unless you need to get a version that is not tested or want to test something... | 03:30 |
| TheSohnly | ive been reading that for the past hour | 03:30 |
| killerbeesateme | Hello, would anyone be able to help me fix the Network Manager program that fails to upgrade and causes the PC to hang? | 03:30 |

| Pici | Ashfire908: backports are tested. 'proposed-* | 03:30 |
| Pici | Ashfire908: are 'not so much' | 03:30 |
| meoblast | chowmeined: it "converted" but for some reason... it wasnt readable by anything... just like an OGG.... hmmm | 03:30 |
| reya276 | how can I make my swap file bigger? | 03:30 |
| Ashfire908 | pici: oh fine | 03:30 |
| soldats | adamonline45, i have never used it but ive talked to many people and they say it is really good for c++ graphics dev | 03:30 |
| chowmeined | meoblast, well ogg should be readable on any linux box.. or by anyone who has VLC .. or ffdshow | 03:31 |
| huh | TheSohnly, I am just telling you I gave up... Found luck with cards that use madwifi | 03:31 |
| fabio | Ashfire908: i think i need to install windows again | 03:31 |
| chowmeined | meoblast, you tried the second command i gave you? | 03:31 |
| Ashfire908 | pici: generaly the normal repos are fine. | 03:31 |
| meoblast | idk | 03:31 |
| meoblast | im getting a new screen recorder | 03:31 |
| chowmeined | meoblast, ffmpeg -i somefile.ogg -acodec mp3 -vcodec mpeg4 somefile.avi | 03:31 |

| TheSohnly | huh: i am on a laptop | 03:31 |
| chowmeined | meoblast, why? ... the ogg libraries work well.. just convert it | 03:31 |
| adamonline45 | soldats: Very well, sounds good to me! Do you know a good place to meet some of those people? | 03:31 |
| fabio | ashfire908: but drives preconfigurateds yes | 03:31 |
| huh | TheSohnly, ouch | 03:31 |
| TheSohnly | no upgrading/fixing from that | 03:32 |
| Brantis | I just installed ubuntu on a Slave HD with the Primary Removed, once it is restarted I get a message that says that there is no operating system detected | 03:32 |
| alokin_ | so in 30 minutes when the download is done, what will i have to do with the alternate CD to install ubuntu which didnt work with the regular cd? | 03:32 |
| chowmeined | meoblast, it will work.. it just takes a little tweaking | 03:32 |
| TheSohnly | huh: so am i SOL? | 03:32 |
| huh | TheSohnly, I may get chastized for this, but uh I go to www.gentoo.org and click on the forum link and search there | 03:32 |
| TheSohnly | there has to be a way | 03:32 |
| meoblast | tweaking? | 03:33 |
| huh | TheSohnly, I run gentoo on another machine | 03:33 |
| alokin_ | ... | 03:33 |
| TheSohnly | forget another version of linux | 03:33 |
| huh | TheSohnly, You need to know what you can apply to ubuntu though | 03:33 |

| chowmeined | meoblast, ok fine | 03:34 |

| huh | TheSohnly, just be careful each distro is different | 03:34 |
| dsnyders | HI all. I want to access my email from several machines. Is IMAP the right tool? | 03:34 |

| adamonline45 | soldats: I ALWAYS need something else! hehheh... I'll let you know ;) | 03:36 |
| dsnyders | r00723r0: So it can be set up to retrieve mail from several servers to a central machine, which I'll be able to access with different clients? | 03:36 |
| hairulfr | Bug here (Well possibly): Icons for Home folder and Desktop have two names which the system uses: user-desktop.png, fs-gnome-desktop.png, gnome-fs-home.png and user-home.png - this seems weird and like a mistake. The FS stuff is, as far as i recall something from older versions. this makes it hard for icons-themers... Oh well... | 03:36 |
| Ashfire908 | fabio: uh... you don't know how to access the bios setup screen? | 03:36 |
| fabio | yes i know | 03:36 |
| bazhang | PrS1: sorry! :} | 03:37 |
| user01 | how do i test to see if tcp and udp is working on certain ports? | 03:37 |

| bulmer | user01-> lsof | 03:37 |
| onats | is there a particular mapping that i need to establish to avoid these problems? | 03:37 |
| fabio | ashfire908: what i do there | 03:37 |
| Ashfire908 | fabio: yes. the blue screen. the f1 or whatever at boot | 03:37 |
| huh | onats, delete the ~/.ssh/knownhosts | 03:37 |
| Flannel | dsnyders: IMAP server running on that box, with fetchmail or getmail to grab mail from your various places (through POP, IMAP, whatever) to the servers mailbox | 03:37 |

| * Brantis grabs a # and sits down on the couch | 03:38 |

| Ashfire908 | fabio: if all the hardware is the same, then the bios settings must me different | 03:38 |

| shredder_ | Is there a place for ubuntu to download music files? | 03:38 |
| Flannel | dsnyders: One or the other, they both do the same thing more or less. | 03:38 |

| shredder_ | I dont know any sites to get files | 03:39 |
| Brantis | as a matter of fact it says something to the tune of No OS detected | 03:39 |
| bazhang | Brantis: any error messages? | 03:40 |
| soldats | Brantis, it is a slave so it weill not boot first in the sequence | 03:40 |
| Brantis | no install goes smooth | 03:40 |
| Brantis | evne with no other hd installed? | 03:40 |
| bazhang | Brantis: grub error? | 03:40 |
| onats | when connecting via VNC, do i expect to see exactly the same as if i'm on the remote machine? | 03:40 |
| hairulfr | shredder_: Well, you are supposed to pay for music files, free software doesn't come with a free music license, if that's what yu mean? | 03:40 |
| hanksims | I have a hideous APT problem. It seems to be broken. Can anyone help? | 03:40 |
| soldats | Brantis, you should be able top set it to a master hdd | 03:40 |
| onats | it just shows me a terminal window, which i accidentally closed, and now no longer appears | 03:40 |
| alokin_ | no | 03:40 |
| alokin_ | sometimes the color is toned down | 03:40 |
| alokin_ | otherwise, yes | 03:40 |
| Flannel | dsnyders: And personally I suggest Maildir for your local mailbox format, but that's just me. There are lots of resources out there for both getmail and procmail. You should have no problem finding a tutorial sorta thing. But be sure it ask if you are. | 03:40 |
| Brantis | So, It should be installed as the Master drive, and my XP drive should be set to Slave? | 03:41 |
| soldats | Brantis, if you want to boot linux first yes | 03:41 |
| Flannel | Brantis: Doesn't matter, as long as GRUB is on the drive that you boot to. | 03:41 |
| * Brantis is new | 03:41 |
| Brantis | I just want to be able to choose which OS i want to boot to | 03:41 |
| Brantis | Live CD is not cutting it because of the lack of ram | 03:42 |
| soldats | Brantis, ahh you need to dual boot | 03:42 |
| Flannel | Brantis: Your BIOS picks a harddrive's MBR to boot to. GRUB needs to be installed so the BIOS boots to it. From the sound of it, if you have no other drive in when you installed, your BIOS isn't booting to the slave. | 03:42 |

| Ashfire908 | fabio, what's that mean? | 03:43 |
| killerbeesateme | Does anyone have a second to point me in the right direction of fixing a botched package upgrade? Network Manager refuses to completely upgrade. apt can't restart the Network Manager service, which completely hangs the system, with the reset button being the only option to make the system functional again | 03:43 |
| void^ | onats: depends, if you use vino (that's what the builtin desktop sharing in ubuntu uses) or x11vnc you get the very same desktop. more commonly you run an independent vnc server, though - higher performance and it persists when you logout. | 03:43 |
| daedalus | brantis, you might want to download the alternative image and use the text installer | 03:43 |

| void^ | onats: depends on what you need - if it's for support/technical assistance, use vino. if you just need to access your desktop from the next room for a moment, use vino. if you want to run azureus in vnc, for example, it's better to use a standalone vnc server. and if you access it over the internet or any unreliable network, use ssh tunneling. | 03:47 |

| killerbeesateme | Does anyone have a second to point me in the right direction of fixing a botched package upgrade? Network Manager refuses to completely upgrade. apt can't restart the Network Manager service, which completely hangs the system, with the reset button being the only option to make the system functional again. I can't upgrade or install anything without having to reset the pc | 03:49 |
| bazhang | xcst: then you want win32codecs and libdvdcss2; the instructions are on the site how to install those packages (not the repos) via command line | 03:49 |
| Supaplex | I've used debian sid for years, but only dabbled lightly with ubuntu. Is ubuntu+1 considered your flavor of unstable? or it that testing? This is all for use in a non-production isolated virtual server (easy to throw away). Thanks. | 03:50 |
| bazhang | xcst: you also want ubuntu-restricted-extras from ubuntu repos | 03:50 |
| meoblast001 | apparently there are no screen recorders that record to common formats so how do you convert a .ogg video to a .avi video? | 03:50 |
| onats | void, initially, i'm going to use it to access a server that is right beside me. for future use, i might want to be able to access it outside my network... | 03:50 |
| onats | void, i'm trying to eliminate my KVM switch here | 03:50 |
| daedric | Hey guys!! Hardware question. Have here a Asus P4C Deluxe motherboard. Aparently its working fine. It's now with a 2.0 Celeron, and a 300Wmax PSU. This setup works perfectly. Now.. if i put it with a P4 3.0, the motherboard behaves erraticaly. Some times it doesn't boot at all, some times, it boots and starts with "BIOS Checksums" problems. | 03:51 |
| bazhang | Supaplex: that is the next release | 03:51 |
| genii | Supaplex: unstable | 03:51 |
| daedric | Question is... can it be the PSU? | 03:51 |
| adamonline45 | Aww, crap, my tooltips in GIMP are white on white... They're also that way in the compiz effects-settings menu... If they're okay in the rest of my applications, what should I look into for fixing it in these situations? | 03:51 |
| daedric | Can it be too unpowerfull? | 03:51 |
| daedric | or do i have a 3.0 defective? | 03:51 |
| hairulfr | killerbeesateme you could probably start ubuntu with a an option to disable networking and network manager, then purge network manager and try again? | 03:51 |
| bazhang | daedric: unpowerful? | 03:51 |
| daedric | bazhang, i know :D | 03:52 |
| daedric | the word doesn't exists. | 03:52 |
| daedric | Not powerfull enough. | 03:52 |
| onats | underpowered maybe | 03:52 |
| bulmer | killerbeesateme-> you can not get to the internet? what kind of connectivity do you have? | 03:52 |
| killerbeesateme | hairulfr: i ran "sudo update-rc.d NetworkManager remove" but it still hangs on doing the update | 03:52 |
| genii | deadlock: It's offtopic for here, but: bent pins? no heat transfer gunk? | 03:53 |
| daedric | onats, english is my second languange. Some times its impossible to use a word existing in my natural language and "translating" it intop English. | 03:53 |
| xcst | bazhang, i installed libdvdcss2, w32codecs | 03:53 |
| soldats | adamonline45, sounds like you need to use the defaults for compiz and find out a good color scheme to use that works with all applications | 03:53 |
| killerbeesateme | hairulfr: I'm actually on the system now. Everything runs fine, unless i do anything upgrade/install wise with apt, then the system hangs | 03:53 |
| bazhang | xcst: how about the ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 03:53 |
| daedric | !! offtopic | 03:53 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 03:53 |
| daedric | :D | 03:53 |
| daedric | GOing to another chan | 03:53 |
| daedric | brb :D | 03:53 |
| void^ | onats: on your local network you can also do neat things like xdmcp logins that require almost no extra configuration (just have to tick a checkbox on the server side) and work directly from your local login prompt (gdm) or in a nested x server (Xephyr, Xnest) | 03:54 |
| xcst | bazhang, not yet | 03:54 |
| bulmer | killerbeesateme-> that only removes entries from the init.d so remove entries there | 03:54 |
| killerbeesateme | hairulf: the system will recognize keystrokes but thats it. I have to hit the reset button to get the system functioning again | 03:54 |
| killerbeesateme | bulmer: I'm actually on the system now. Everything runs fine, unless i do anything upgrade/install wise with apt, then the system hangs | 03:54 |
| bazhang | xcst: that should set you up in that regard--easiest way is through synaptic--need to add more repos there | 03:54 |
| bulmer | killerbeesateme-> if everything is fine, what is the issue? | 03:55 |
| hairulfr | killerbeesateme: try sudo apt-get remove [NetworkM] then sudo aptitude remove [NetworkM] and sudo apt-get remove --purge [Netwoek] sudo aptitude pnetwork - if you can? | 03:55 |
| killerbeesateme | bulmer: I can't install or upgrade any packages. I normally wouldn't mind, but doing a reset via the button to install packages is not the greatest way to go | 03:55 |
| dmb062082 | flash for 64 bit yet? | 03:56 |
| dmb062082 | natively | 03:56 |
| hairulfr | killerbeesateme: The horrible things at the end of each command is the package name | 03:56 |
| IdleOne | !flash64 | dmb062082 | 03:56 |
| ubotu | dmb062082: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 03:56 |
| killerbeesateme | hairulfr: I'll give it a shot. hopefully I won't have to do a reset. be back in a second if I lock up. | 03:57 |
| xcst | bazhang, whats ubuntu-restricted-extras for? | 03:58 |
| === kennny is now known as wapo20cam |
| killerbeesateme | hairulfr: trying to remove NetworkManager, this spits out at me "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. " | 03:58 |
| meoblast001 | ok im stuck in a predicament | 03:58 |
| meoblast001 | i need a video editor that doesnt crash | 03:58 |
| hairulfr | killerbeesateme: But didn't crash? | 03:59 |
| dmb062082 | it says it is installed but still says i mist grab the additional plugin (flash) | 03:59 |
| bazhang | xcst: mp3 flash, etc | 03:59 |
| xcst | ok thanks | 03:59 |
| soldats | meoblast001, what editor are you using | 03:59 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | I'm having trouble playing DVD's. I've installed everything I can think of, but no go. (I'm on 64bit) | 03:59 |
| Dante123 | hey, how do you get the task manager or ubuntu equivalent to kill a process up? | 03:59 |
| xcst | do those include dvds? | 03:59 |
| killerbeesateme | hairulfr: it didn't crash, but if I run that command I'm 99% sure I'm going to hang. It's asking me to configure that package which isn't fully installed...i think at least | 03:59 |
| meoblast001 | soldats: Kino | 03:59 |
| xcst | bazhang, do those include dvd? | 03:59 |
| meoblast001 | soldats: it crashes my computer | 03:59 |
| soldats | Dante123, huh be more specific | 03:59 |
| lazarus_lupine | killall <processname> | 04:00 |
| burepe | What is a .cdr file and how do I burn it? | 04:00 |
| bazhang | xcst: that would be the libdvdcss2 you installed | 04:00 |
| meoblast001 | soldats: after 5 minutes through the process of importing large files | 04:00 |
| xcst | ok thanks | 04:00 |
| soldats | meoblast001, pitivi video editor | 04:00 |
| soldats | meoblast001, goole it | 04:00 |
| lazarus_lupine | Dante123, open a terminal and use killall <processname> | 04:00 |
| soldats | google | 04:00 |
| killerbeesateme | hairulfr: I ran into this problem a day ago on a debian box, where a config file was missing an option. I was able to fix that by adding the option, but in this case, I'm not sure what I can do | 04:00 |
| meoblast001 | soldats: how do you cut, zoom, and add music in pitivi? | 04:00 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 |
| Dante123 | is there something akin to ctrl-alt-delete that brings up some kind of task manager gui? | 04:00 |
| lazarus_lupine | you can look at top if you need to know the name | 04:00 |
| soldats | meoblast001, not sure i heard it was recommended for ubuntu | 04:01 |
| killerbeesateme | hairulfr: there's a thread posted on the forum as well that details what i'm getting while running apt. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3906679#post3906679 | 04:01 |
| hairulfr | killerbeesateme: Hmm, well, you could try? I'm sorta at my wits end at this, the only option is might be manually removing every bit of it, but, uhm how to go about removing every bit im not sure. | 04:01 |
| mattycoze | hey fellas, does anyone know how to execute .jar files? | 04:01 |
| xcst | bazhang, installing the 3 lib, w32, and ubuntu restricted should almost all media would play? | 04:01 |
| Flannel | Dante123: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588347 | 04:01 |
| meoblast001 | any Pitivi users? | 04:02 |
| soldats | Dante123, if you want to get process ids do "pgrep <app name" in a terminal if you want a system monito do "top" in a terminal | 04:02 |
| killerbeesateme | hairulfr: I'll give it a shot. again, if i hang, i'll be back in a minute | 04:02 |

| adamonline45 | soldats: Dang, I reset my compiz theme, my KDE colors, and KDE style, and still can't see my gimp tooltips... Any thoughts? | 04:04 |
| xcst | bazhang, mostly i only play, avi, mpg, mp3 etc | 04:04 |
| bazhang | xcst: also ape (monkey audio) are a problem some times | 04:04 |
| bazhang | xcst: then you'll be good to go | 04:04 |
| xcst | thanks a lot bazhang | 04:05 |
| soldats | adamonline45, thats strange. usually its black text on white bg, what kind of tips do you need | 04:05 |

| FlyingSquirrel32 | when I press a button on my laptop, it opens rhythmbox for me. How do I make it open totem instead? | 04:06 |
| soldats | adamonline45, have you tried to highlight the tool tips | 04:06 |
| huh | mattycoze, java the jar | 04:06 |
| mtx1 | at startup i get init: rcS process 2030 killed by signal 11 and rc-default process 2032 killed by signal 11 anyone know how to fix this? i have searched google for hrs with no fix? is there anyway to just recopy the /etc/init.d folder or will that mess everything up? | 04:06 |
| xcst | ow | 04:07 |
| mattycoze | yeah i've tried that - not having much luck, i think thought there was somethign more to it that that | 04:07 |
| adamonline45 | soldats: Just the tool-icon info. I got it! :O Had to restart GIMP 8) hehheh... Now to see what breaks 'em again... | 04:07 |
| xcst | bazhang, i have finished installing but still some wont play | 04:07 |
| soldats | FlyingSquirrel32, there should be a hot key in the rhythm box config in the gui app you should remove the hotkey and use it for the totem config | 04:07 |
| mattycoze | huh i'll show you the error message i get... | 04:07 |
| xcst | im using mplayer, but in totem they are working | 04:07 |
| huh | mattycoze, what ya trying to run? | 04:07 |
| soldats | adamonline45, so it works! awesome | 04:07 |
| mattycoze | Blooover2.jar | 04:07 |
| mattycoze | it's a bluetooth app huh | 04:08 |

| bazhang | xcst: which ones? avi? | 04:08 |
| xcst | bazhang, yes | 04:08 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | soldats: No, it's set in System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts | 04:08 |
| mattycoze | huh i got it from this source, but it didn't have much of a how-to section :p http://trifinite.org/trifinite_stuff_bloooverii.html | 04:08 |
| bazhang | xcst: you might want to try a different player then--vlc seems to be the app of choice for hard to play stuff | 04:09 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | soldats: but i don't see a way to run totem | 04:09 |
| adamonline45 | soldats: Yup! Thanks again :) | 04:09 |
| xcst | bazhang, im just wondering coz b4 i installed gutsy they are just working fine | 04:09 |
| huh | mattycoze, Don't know what to tell ya.. I dont have blue tooth | 04:09 |
| xcst | bazhang, i think they myt still work | 04:09 |
| bazhang | xcst: they will, fear not | 04:10 |
| meoblast001 | ok im back | 04:10 |
| Ashfire908 | is there a easy way to get the diffs for all the packages that can be updated? | 04:10 |
| bazhang | xcst: you just need to get the player that plays the majority of stuff best for you--mplayer might be for most stuff--and vlc for the rest, have to experiment there :} | 04:10 |
| alokin | huh, im using the alternate cd now for ubuntu PPC for my mac g5, and it did not change anything, the smae problem still occurs. | 04:10 |
| meoblast001 | dang it | 04:11 |
| xcst | bazhang, in the mplayer maybe it has something to do with the preferences? | 04:11 |
| killerbeesatem1 | hairulfr: well here's what happened. the command that apt asked me to run went fine. so, i proceeded with your instructions to apt-get remove network-manager. it wasn't able to stop the network manager (which shouldn't be running, since i disabled it). so it failed. I was still able to run commands under my normal user, however, any sudo commands freeze | 04:11 |
| soldats | FlyingSquirrel32, when you go to keyboard shortcuts does it ask you to enter a command, if so try to enter "totem" and if that works enter the key controls you want for it | 04:11 |
| meoblast001 | i need a screen recorder that writes to AVI... not OGG.... A..... V...... I..... | 04:11 |
| mattycoze | anyone know of a good java chatroom? | 04:11 |
| soldats | !screencast | 04:11 |
| ubotu | Some programs to capture your screen are Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 04:12 |
| killerbeesatem1 | hairulfr: this makes absolutely no sense to me. | 04:12 |
| meoblast001 | soldats: already checked that link... all swf and ogg | 04:12 |
| soldats | !screencast | meoblast001 | 04:12 |
| ubotu | meoblast001: please see above | 04:12 |
| hairulfr | killerbeesatem: What, sudo is the problem? Like "sudo nautilus" freezes the system? | 04:12 |
| hairulfr | killerbeesatem: No, that sounds very very strange | 04:12 |
| soldats | oh soory i dont usually screen cast but im almost positive if you screencast in ogg you can make it into whatever extension you want | 04:13 |

| soldats | SpeakerMania, do you want an application or a file from the web | 04:14 |
| meoblast001 | anyone know of any AVI screen recorders? | 04:14 |
| SpeakerMania | soldats, genii, thanks. I got it covered. :) | 04:14 |
| soldats | SpeakerMania, apt-get for apps and wget for files | 04:14 |

| bazhang | xcst: good news | 04:14 |
| soldats | SpeakerMania, ok cool | 04:14 |
| killerbeesatem1 | hairulfr: So, when i tried your instructions to remove it, it freezes on trying to stop the Network Manager. which is the same thing that happens when i upgrade the system | 04:14 |
| lgc | Hi. Is there any trick to activate the dictionary on Gutsy or it's just broken? | 04:14 |
| SpeakerMania | genii, also it is gksudo nautilus is the proper way. :) | 04:14 |
| alokin | hey can anybody help me fix my ubunto 7.10 ppc on my mac g5 | 04:14 |
| genii | super-7alazoune: If this is not the first username that was made when ubuntu was installed make that name a user with admin/sudo rights from a username that DOES have sudo rights | 04:15 |
