| AprilHare | LiMaO, don't put me in trouble :) | 00:00 |
|---|
| adamonline45 | bruenig: I guess so :) I thought those were the same thing... Whatever <ctrl><alt><backspace> does :) | 00:00 |
|---|
| Pirate_Hunter | Pelo never thought of that | 00:00 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | Ashfire908: are you using PPP as in dialup, or PPP as in broadband? | 00:00 |
|---|
| Sepheebear | lwizardl: check your logs, maybe the hfs partition isnt clean. thats why it comes RO | 00:00 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | kitofhawaii, it's a dialup connection via a cell phone in "high-speed" data packet mode | 00:00 |
|---|
| david_J | radio_gaga42: Ubuntu uses there own patches... So if you are using a vanilla kernel be wary that other stuff may not work.. Best bet is to get the source tree Ubuntu used and try to patch... | 00:00 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | kitofhawaii, dialup | 00:00 |
|---|
| Pelo | Pirate_Hunter, that's why they pay me the big bucks | 00:00 |
|---|
| bruenig | adamonline45, killall X should do it | 00:00 |
|---|
| david_J | radio_gaga42: if the patch works the just recompile it... | 00:00 |
|---|
| LiMaO | AprilHare: i'm just curious. never thought there was this much different from aussie to american/british english :) | 00:00 |
|---|
| lwizardl | Sepheebear, what log? | 00:00 |
|---|
| adamonline45 | bruenig: ty :) | 00:01 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | kitofhawaii, gtg eat | 00:01 |
|---|
| Sepheebear | lwizardl: /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log IIRC | 00:01 |
|---|
| AprilHare | LiMaO, closer to british english | 00:01 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | Ashfire908: 17.8KB/sec's pretty fast for cell phone. that's 144kbps. i think most cell phone dialups top out at ~168kbps | 00:01 |
|---|
| Pirate_Hunter | Pelo: send me some plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz | 00:01 |
|---|
| radio_gaga42 | david_j: tried ubunto does not boot on my notebook, so i filed a bug on kernel.org, the guy from ibm hen sent a patch for me to try | 00:01 |
|---|
| RainCT | hi | 00:01 |
|---|
| LiMaO | AprilHare: i speak british english. even though i don't keep the accent =P | 00:02 |
|---|
| david_J | radio_gaga42: Ugh joint #ugh and I'll try to explain... | 00:02 |
|---|
| AprilHare | LiMaO,that is, from american english | 00:02 |
|---|
| Sepheebear | lwizardl: i think even dmesg might have something in it too | 00:02 |
|---|
| Pelo | Pirate_Hunter, you cna do that now if you want, you just make a sperarte partition formated in ext3 , move your /home folder to it and add an extra line in fstab to mount it | 00:02 |
|---|
| radio_gaga42 | david_j: thanks, will try | 00:02 |
|---|
| neil__ | Hey guys | 00:02 |
|---|
| === neil__ is now known as coldboot|home |
| Ashfire908 | kitofhawaii, i said ~17 KB/s. it's usally in the 16 KB/s range. if it gets to 17, it's like 17.0 or 17.1. | 00:02 |
|---|
| AprilHare | LiMaO, ic - not in britain? | 00:02 |
|---|
| LiMaO | AprilHare: btw, 'aussie' isn't considered to be a polite word, right? | 00:02 |
|---|
| T70K5 | dude | 00:02 |
|---|
| LiMaO | AprilHare: actually i'm brazilian, thus in brazil ;) | 00:02 |
|---|
| Pirate_Hunter | Pelo: no i meant the bucks but thanx for the info | 00:03 |
|---|
| AprilHare | LiMaO, aussie fine by me | 00:03 |
|---|
| lwizardl | Sepheebear, nothing I guess I could log into windows and see if macdrive reports it as damaged | 00:03 |
|---|
| T70K5 | I'm on a live cd, I can't burn a disk | 00:03 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | kitofhawaii, ok gtg. | 00:03 |
|---|
| T70K5 | supergrub | 00:03 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | Ashfire908: that's pretty typical. i think you're maxing out, if you want faster you have to go to EDGE or another high speed cell connection (ttyl have fun) | 00:03 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sgd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:03 |
|---|
| RainCT | if the Desktop was moved into the trash (don't ask me how my mother achieved this XDD), how can it be brought back to ~/? fo | 00:03 |
|---|
| AprilHare | LiMaO, who told you aussie is bad? | 00:03 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | RainCT: move it back out of the trash? | 00:03 |
|---|
| theremper | I think kaffene will do the trick | 00:03 |
|---|
| Yaz | T70K5: you can burn a CD under live cd...i did exactly this this morning | 00:03 |
|---|
| theremper | thanks | 00:03 |
|---|
| RainCT | gordonjcp: it goes back there :S | 00:03 |
|---|
| T70K5 | I have a usb jump drive | 00:03 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, if you want youcan put supergrub on a usb drive, assuming you can boot from usb, super grub cd is less then 50 megs | 00:03 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | RainCT: it's important to remember that both Desktop and .Trash are just directoris | 00:03 |
|---|
| perlsyntax | is ubuntu base on windows? | 00:04 |
|---|
| RainCT | yes I know | 00:04 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | RainCT: you might need to do it from the command line | 00:04 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | perlsyntax: no | 00:04 |
|---|
| T70K5 | its like 3mb | 00:04 |
|---|
| * bastid_raZor laughs | 00:04 |
| lwizardl | perlsyntax, no based on unix | 00:04 |
|---|
| Yaz | yeah, supergrub is 3MB | 00:04 |
|---|
| Pelo | perlsyntax, no it is not , ubuntu is a linux distro | 00:04 |
|---|
| perlsyntax | ok | 00:04 |
|---|
| LiMaO | AprilHare: i don't remember who it was, but someone once told me it was a bad way to refer to australian people | 00:04 |
|---|
| Sepheebear | lwizardl: yeah the only way i could fix an hfs partition was with the OS X version of fsck | 00:04 |
|---|
| perlsyntax | i plan to get this for my mother for the hoildays. | 00:04 |
|---|
| theremper | and linux is a unix clone | 00:04 |
|---|
| RainCT | gordonjcp: I also tried with mv... but if I try to place a symlink there it goes back to the trash | 00:04 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | theremper: no, it's a Unix work-a-like | 00:04 |
|---|
| RainCT | strange.. | 00:04 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | perlsyntax: lol, its free you know | 00:04 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | RainCT: weird | 00:05 |
|---|
| perlsyntax | i know that | 00:05 |
|---|
| AprilHare | LiMaO, the natives don't mind it :) it might depend on how it's pronounced though - the way an american says it gives me the (whoops nearly 'swore' again) :D | 00:05 |
|---|
| Yaz | Does anyone know how I can get the size, shape and X,Y coordinates of a window? | 00:05 |
|---|
| perlsyntax | does dell support good with ubuntu? | 00:05 |
|---|
| Pelo | perlsyntax, ubuntu is based on linux the same way windows is based on dos , it's a different operating system with it's own set of applications , and unlike windows it is FREE | 00:05 |
|---|
| theremper | ok ok. gordon your right | 00:05 |
|---|
| T70K5 | can someone guide me through this installation? | 00:05 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | perlsyntax: dell supports linspire | 00:05 |
|---|
| lwizardl | Sepheebear, the only reason i need an hfs+ drive is for my 360 to playback wmv hd videos | 00:05 |
|---|
| Yaz | T70K5: sure | 00:05 |
|---|
| T70K5 | putting this on a jump drive | 00:05 |
|---|
| penguin42 | Yaz: xwininfo | 00:05 |
|---|
| genii | gordonjcp: Exactly... bsd is a unix clone, linux is a unix-like operating system | 00:05 |
|---|
| Yaz | penguin42: thank you very much | 00:05 |
|---|
| theremper | dell sells ubuntu laptops | 00:05 |
|---|
| lwizardl | Sepheebear, stupid ms doesn't support ntfs on the 360 (their own product) | 00:05 |
|---|
| loke | Perlsyntax, I don't advise pushing Linux onto an older family member. It's difficult to adapt to a compeltely new environment to begin with, let alone when you'vce been used to Windows for decades. | 00:05 |
|---|
| perlsyntax | i lookon the web site they support ubuntu and freedos. | 00:05 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, just unpack the ,iso , and copy it to the usb drive | 00:05 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: why not? | 00:06 |
|---|
| T70K5 | oh ok | 00:06 |
|---|
| genii | lwizardl: What filesystem is it using then? | 00:06 |
|---|
| T70K5 | lol | 00:06 |
|---|
| T70K5 | hold on | 00:06 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | perlsyntax: actually..scratch that...dell supported it and then linspire told them not to use it anymore :) | 00:06 |
|---|
| Sepheebear | lwizardl: a MS product uses hfs???? wow! | 00:06 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: there is no practical difference for most users | 00:06 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, you may need to use gparted to make your usb drive a boot flag | 00:06 |
|---|
| perlsyntax | my dad is upset becuase of the new windows that out. | 00:06 |
|---|
| perlsyntax | hard to find xp. | 00:06 |
|---|
| AprilHare | LiMaO, does everyone learn british english in brazil? | 00:06 |
|---|
| genii | hmm | 00:06 |
|---|
| lwizardl | genii, for playing back files from USB devices the drive must be either fat32 or hfs+ | 00:06 |
|---|
| bastid_raZor | loke perlsyntax Kubuntu may be an easier transition from windows to *buntu | 00:06 |
|---|
| Yaz | vista is horrendous... | 00:06 |
|---|
| Yaz | imo | 00:06 |
|---|
| theremper | the new windows is why I switched | 00:06 |
|---|
| Pelo | perlsyntax, what do you mean hard to find xp ? just dl the ubuntu live cd and show it to him | 00:07 |
|---|
| genii | lwizardl: Weirdness | 00:07 |
|---|
| Yaz | same | 00:07 |
|---|
| loke | gordon, it's hard to get used to. Having to search for functional alternatives (like MSN, where no decent webcam support is offered). Something as simple as fonts could confuse and bother some. | 00:07 |
|---|
| perlsyntax | i use ubuntu and look and feel like windows. | 00:07 |
|---|
| Pelo | perlsyntax, www.ubuntu.com | 00:07 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | my Mum has absolutely no trouble using Ubuntu at all | 00:07 |
|---|
| lwizardl | Yaz, Vista is the New Millenium Edition | 00:07 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: no, it's not | 00:07 |
|---|
| LiMaO | AprilHare: nah. not a common thing. i myself studied it for 9 years in a british school | 00:07 |
|---|
| Yaz | lwizardl: exactly | 00:07 |
|---|
| T70K5 | it says I don't have permission to write to my usb drive | 00:07 |
|---|
| Yaz | lwizardl: i didn't think anything could top ME, but I was wrong | 00:07 |
|---|
| T70K5 | sorry I'm a linux newbie | 00:07 |
|---|
| AprilHare | Yaz, microsoft windows vista is the operating system of choice for self flagellationists | 00:07 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: it's no harder to get used to than switching to a different make of car with the light switch on the other side | 00:07 |
|---|
| loke | gordon, I disagree completely. It would be more like switching from an automatic to a standard. | 00:08 |
|---|
| Yaz | T70K5: you really should be able to burn a CD | 00:08 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | hello | 00:08 |
|---|
| lwizardl | Yaz, give it another 2-3 years and they will make something even worse | 00:08 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: rubbish | 00:08 |
|---|
| Pelo | perlsyntax, the gui environnement of most computers today are pretty similar and familiar from one OS to another, differences are more under the hood then upfront | 00:08 |
|---|
| T70K5 | I would do that, but I can't eject the cd while I'm running an OS off of it | 00:08 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | I have a question, I have ubuntu on my pc, connected through a crossover cable to this laptop which runs windows, I've enabled internet connection sharing on the windows machine | 00:08 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: rubbish isn't a defense, you're avoiding what I said. What don't you agree with? | 00:08 |
|---|
| Yaz | T70K5: burn the CD, reboot, eject CD while it's booting, insert supergrub cd | 00:08 |
|---|
| daxroc | Evening all | 00:08 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | i was under the impression from one of our last partner meetings microsoft's offering fulfillments for new vista owners to downgrade to xp now | 00:08 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | how do I configure the linux machine to access websites | 00:08 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, don't burn, unpack , right click , extract here | 00:08 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: my Mum's using Ubuntu with no problems at all, and she's so incredibly non-technical that I need to drive over to her house to reset breaker switches if they trip | 00:08 |
|---|
| T70K5 | I did that already | 00:09 |
|---|
| Pelo | Qjimbo, what do you mean browsing website ? | 00:09 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | as in, access the web | 00:09 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | with dns and all that jazz | 00:09 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: it's not any harder to use for almost everything the average "older user" would do | 00:09 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: everyone's different, some people will have an easier time of it. Some, also, do more in-depth work requiring them to search for alternatives. | 00:09 |
|---|
| adamonline45 | gordonjcp: haha! Good stuff 8) | 00:09 |
|---|
| daxroc | got ubuntu installed on my new mac mini | 00:09 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, jsut copy the files from the unpacked folder to the usb drive | 00:09 |
|---|
| * daxroc jumps with joy | 00:09 |
| bastid_raZor | gordonjcp:: atleast if ubuntu has issues you won't have to drive over.. just ssh in | 00:09 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | right now I can't even ping this laptop | 00:09 |
|---|
| T70K5 | I can't do that Pelo, it says I don't have permission | 00:09 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | adamonline45: I kid you not, I've driven a 500-mile round trip to reset a breaker about half a dozen times now | 00:10 |
|---|
| T70K5 | how can I do it via terminal su? | 00:10 |
|---|
| Yaz | gordonjcp: omfg | 00:10 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | Yaz: my Mum is *very* non-technical | 00:10 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, open the terminal , sudo tar /Desktop/filename ( remember linux is case sensitive) | 00:10 |
|---|
| Yaz | gordonjcp: I guess so! :) | 00:10 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, which part don't you have permission for ? | 00:10 |
|---|
| T70K5 | r/w the usb drive | 00:11 |
|---|
| genii | Faceoff :) | 00:11 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: admittedly she wasn't particularly used to Windows to begin with | 00:11 |
|---|
| lwizardl | yes on linux desktop & Desktop are two completely different folders | 00:11 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: my parents aren't very computer savvy either, and they couldn't get used to it. Like I said, it's different for everyone. | 00:11 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: what's so hard to get used to? | 00:11 |
|---|
| === gsr is now known as Layne4 |
| loke | gordon: my parents have been using Windows at home and at work as long as they've been using computers, so it's a big shock. | 00:11 |
|---|
| T70K5 | how can I copy the folder and paste it onto the usb drive as root in terminal? | 00:11 |
|---|
| STcom | what would be an alternative video player to totem? | 00:11 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, sudo cp /Desktop/foldername/* /mountpoint/usbdrive ( probabaly /media/"labelonthedesktp" | 00:11 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: hm | 00:11 |
|---|
| lwizardl | ok i'm going to reboot into xp and test this hfs+ drive | 00:11 |
|---|
| lwizardl | thanks for the help guys/gals | 00:11 |
|---|
| T70K5 | ok, h/o | 00:11 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, what format is the usb drive ? | 00:11 |
|---|
| T70K5 | not sure | 00:12 |
|---|
| T70K5 | ntfs I think | 00:12 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: codecs not installed by default, lack of a messenger with webcam, cameras not automatically downloading images, etc. | 00:12 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | loke: a big shock is buying a laptop with 1GB ram, booting up vista for the first time and seeing it's using 75% of physical memory :) | 00:12 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: it's mostly the little things. | 00:12 |

| UserUbuntu | hi, i need help!! im begginer in Linux. I looking for a APT to install GCC, may any one help me? | 00:12 |
|---|
| richo | need frontend for rar dvd movies. "package manager" cant see *.rar | 00:12 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: then you're using broken or obsolete things | 00:12 |
|---|
| Espen_7 | anyone have an idea why i can connect to internet trough my wireless router, but not see my router or LAN? | 00:12 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: if you plug a camera in, it just plain works | 00:12 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, ok ntfs will be a problem ( a solvable one) try the command first , if it is not enough we'll tell you how to remount the ntfs driver for wriite access | 00:13 |

| GIMP22 | Does anyone know how would you have Linux execute a script on bootup? | 00:13 |
|---|
| soothsayer | UserUbuntu: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 00:13 |
|---|
| Sepheebear | richo: you need to install the unrar package so fileroller can unrar them | 00:13 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: Up until recently, my camera wouldn't funciton in Ubuntu. | 00:13 |
|---|
| UserUbuntu | ok, i will try. | 00:13 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: I have to mess with some modules and configs, not sure what actually got it to work | 00:13 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: if you try to do that with Windows, you've got to go and find a driver, update all the other drivers, install it, reboot a few times, run a virus scan, maybe find a few more updates for the driver, and then eventually it might let you get your pictures | 00:13 |
|---|
| GIMP22 | or does anyone know if there is a way to change consoles in init 1? | 00:13 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | GIMP22: depends on the script. what're you trying to execute? | 00:13 |
|---|
| richo | Sepheebear: hmm ok so search for rar and fileroller in synaptic then? | 00:13 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: Windows is just too hard for normal users | 00:13 |
|---|
| Pelo | GIMP22, put a launcher for it in ~/.config/autostart | 00:13 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: As a beginner, yes, but not for someone who's used to it. | 00:14 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: my parents know how to run a virus scanner, all of that, out of habbit. | 00:14 |
|---|
| Pelo | gordonjcp, windows is just to hard "on" normal users | 00:14 |

| Joachim_Joe | Can someone help me? I have just installed Unbunto, new to linux, trying to install nvidia drivers, and I get an error message I must be logged on as root. How do I do this? | 00:14 |
|---|
| Sepheebear | richo: search "unrar" or in terminal "sudo aptitude install unrar" | 00:14 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | using the sh command | 00:14 |
|---|
| soldats | Joachim_Joe, install with sudo if you in command line | 00:14 |
|---|
| Pelo | Joachim_Joe, run the command with sudo , ei type sudo command in the terminal | 00:14 |
|---|
| loke | sudo sh *.run | 00:14 |
|---|
| Espen_7 | joachim: sudo su | 00:14 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: my Mum doesn't know how to run a virus scanner, and shouldn't have to know | 00:14 |
|---|
| richo | Sepheebear: yeah but how to make fileroller use it ? | 00:15 |
|---|
| UserUbuntu | <soothsayer> i'm downloading, thank you! | 00:15 |

| enigmata | Schalk? | 00:15 |
|---|
| GIMP22 | kitohawaii, I want to run some benchmarks in init 1 for a Xen VMM (so I don't want to have extra stuff running in init 3 +) so I want the VM to boot up execute the benchmark. But under init1 I can't ssh into the VM | 00:15 |
|---|
| GIMP22 | Pelo, thanks | 00:15 |
|---|
| AprilHare | is there a virus checker for ubuntu? | 00:15 |
|---|
| AprilHare | cause there should be at this rate. | 00:15 |
|---|
| T70K5 | Pelo | 00:15 |
|---|
| Sepheebear | richo: once installed file-roller "automagically" uses it | 00:15 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: with Ubuntu it's simple, I told her "If you see a little orange and white flower thing in the top right, click it and put your password in, then go make a cup of tea" | 00:15 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | soldats, pelo, thanks.. I am in the terminal. I just type sudo | 00:15 |
|---|
| Sepheebear | just reopen fileroller | 00:15 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | AprilHare: why? | 00:15 |
|---|
| Pelo | AprilHare, several, clamav is a native one but you can also get a linux version of avast from their seite | 00:15 |
|---|
| richo | Sepheebear: wow impressive | 00:15 |
|---|
| soldats | Joachim_Joe, yes, i hope you figure it out | 00:15 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: I understand what you're saying. I'm not syaing Windows is easier for everyone, I'm saying it's easier to CONTINUE with it once you've been learning it for years. | 00:16 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | AprilHare: it's useful if you're scanning mail for Windows clients | 00:16 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, hmm yessss ? | 00:16 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: it depends | 00:16 |
|---|
| AprilHare | true | 00:16 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: I don't think it depends at all. | 00:16 |
|---|
| GIMP22 | Pelo, I'm also trying to do this under root. Would I just create an autostart directory in /root/.config and place my script in there? | 00:16 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: as soon as you switch Windows versions, the game changes completely | 00:16 |
|---|
| T70K5 | I need that command again... Desktop/super_grub_disk_0.9763.iso_FILES is the folder and /media/disk-3 is the jump drive | 00:16 |
|---|
| AprilHare | however its only a matter of time i suppose before linux gets viruses | 00:16 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: the basics are there. | 00:16 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | AprilHare: nope | 00:16 |
|---|
| stunatra | Windows is nothing but a pain in the ass. | 00:16 |

| loke | gordon: the foundation is consistent in its inconsistencies. ;) | 00:16 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | soldats, ok it is telling me the different ways of using sudo | 00:16 |
|---|
| adac2 | can I somehow free ram memory manually? | 00:16 |
|---|
| Yaz | windows is great for gaming | 00:16 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | shared network connections certainly are | 00:16 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | GIMP22: xen...i dunno i'm sorry, i haven't used it yet, so i'll have to defer to someone else (sticks to vmware in general) | 00:16 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: the basics are just the same as the basics of any GUI desktop though | 00:16 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | I have the nvida file in the home directory | 00:16 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: Windows is easy when used out of habit, but to expect them to re-learn everything they know is asking a lot. | 00:16 |
|---|
| Pelo | GIMP22, I don,t know if there is such a folder, but you can probabaly add the script or a link to it in the init.d stuff , but I'm not leet enough to talk you throught that | 00:17 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: but if they change to a different version of Windows, they'll have to re-learn everything from scratch anyway | 00:17 |
|---|
| Yaz | windows is the best gaming platform out there...all the consoles dont even come close | 00:17 |
|---|
| adac2 | Yaz: yea because they bought all companies to produce their games in directx | 00:17 |
|---|
| T70K5 | man.. | 00:17 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, you called earlier ? | 00:17 |
|---|
| soldats | Joachim_Joe, this may hepl you it says dapper but all the commands should work | 00:17 |
|---|
| T70K5 | yes | 00:17 |
|---|
| Yaz | adac2: yeah | 00:17 |
|---|
| soldats | Joachim_Joe, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29 | 00:17 |
|---|
| GIMP22 | kitofhawaii, thanks I'm not using VMWare because oprofile can't do much in terms of VMWare (I have to switch between Dom0 and DomU but can't do this in init1 since it doesn't support multiple consoles) | 00:17 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, well ? what is up ? | 00:17 |
|---|
| GIMP22 | thanks Pelo | 00:17 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: it's not an immediate shock, it's a progressing thing that comes with time. You're still using the same apps, just newer versions. | 00:17 |
|---|
| T70K5 | (12:16:22 AM) T70K5: I need that command again... Desktop/super_grub_disk_0.9763.iso_FILES is the folder and /media/disk-3 is the jump drive | 00:17 |
|---|
| T70K5 | (12:16:22 AM) T70K5: I need that command again... Desktop/super_grub_disk_0.9763.iso_FILES is the folder and /media/disk-3 is the jump drive | 00:17 |
|---|
| Yaz | adac2: and i love gaming, and i think consoles stink | 00:17 |
|---|
| stunatra | Yaz, that is because the games are MADE for Windows. | 00:17 |
|---|
| T70K5 | sorry | 00:17 |
|---|
| GIMP22 | Pelo, any chance you know the location of init.d? | 00:17 |
|---|
| Yaz | i know...which is why it's great for gaming | 00:18 |
|---|
| Yaz | :D | 00:18 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, hold on | 00:18 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | AprilHare: there aren't any viruses for Linux, and it's unlikely that there will ever be a practical virus with the same impact as *any* Windows virus | 00:18 |
|---|
| T70K5 | ok, thanks | 00:18 |
|---|
| qzio | hey! is there anyone more then me who has a broken firebug? | 00:18 |
|---|
| soldats | GIMP22, init.d is in /etc | 00:18 |

|---|
| Joachim_Joe | soldats, when you message me I keep seeing a yellow border around my name, do you send your message just to me or what does that mean? Thanks, looking into it | 00:18 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, sudo cp /Desktop/super_grub_disk_0.9763.iso_FILES/* /media/disk-3 | 00:18 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, that should be it , assuming you can write to the drive | 00:19 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | Joachim_Joe: gratuitous highlight | 00:19 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: there are viruses for linux, just not any that can spread on their own. You'd have to physically initiate it with super user priveleges. But, in essence, it is a virus. | 00:19 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | GIMP22: well i'm with you on that. we're looking at xen since citrix purchased it (we're a citrix partner so we have to ultimately know it inside and out) | 00:19 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: not really | 00:19 |
|---|
| soldats | Joachim_Joe, it means your name or the text will be highlighted everyone else can see it as well bu it makes it easier for you to spot | 00:19 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | gratuitous highlight | 00:19 |
|---|
| Sepheebear | richo: unrar is in the Universe repository. if youre in synaptic, you'll have to go into preferences and enable universe | 00:19 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: it doesn't exhibit viral behaviour | 00:19 |
|---|
| AlReece45 | I installed Ubuntu 7.10, it has yet to become usable. After startup (the ubuntu logo with the progress bar) where there should be a login screen, there is a blank screen. | 00:19 |

| loke | gordon: and by that you mean...? | 00:19 |
|---|
| === orangePnut[] is now known as orangePnut |
| gordonjcp | Joachim_Joe: if I start a sentence with your name, it will highlight in your IRC window | 00:19 |
|---|
| kbrooks | ping | 00:19 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | oh so when you type my name it will highlight it | 00:19 |
|---|
| Pelo | AlReece45, waht is your video card ? | 00:20 |
|---|
| soldats | yes | 00:20 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: well, it can't spread by itself, or alter other files to help itself spread | 00:20 |
|---|
| richo | Sepheebear: worked through terminal. thx | 00:20 |
|---|
| GIMP22 | kitohawaii, good luck I'm using an older version and haven't done much more than the benchmarking stuff. Seems neat but doesn't have half the bells and whistles VMWare does. | 00:20 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | :) how nice, I did not see this IRC before and used it alot before | 00:20 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: you could potentially do some sort of scripting worm | 00:20 |
|---|
| kbrooks | if you were working for yourself and asked in here, would you use 'we' or 'I'? | 00:20 |
|---|
| adac2 | so again: is there a program that can free ram memory? | 00:20 |
|---|
| soldats | Joachim_Joe, type a few characteers of a name and press "tab" key and it should auto complete | 00:20 |
|---|
| AprilHare | gordonjcp, never say never wrt virii | 00:20 |
|---|
| AlReece45 | Pelo: nvidia geforce go 6100 afaik | 00:20 |
|---|
| silent | viri aren't as verile on linux cause verbose verification validates various administrative commands | 00:20 |
|---|
| richo | Sepheebear: worked through terminal. thx. Dont know why synaptic version of it didnt do the trick. i know about multiverse etc. | 00:20 |
|---|
| T70K5 | cp: cannot stat `super_grub_disk_0.9673.iso/*': Not a directory | 00:20 |
|---|
| Pelo | kbrooks, we if you are royalty | 00:20 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | soldats: IS THIS A NEW irc feature or just of this server? | 00:20 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | soldats: nice :) | 00:20 |
|---|
| kbrooks | Pelo, are what? | 00:20 |
|---|
| Yaz | Joachim_Joe: always been there | 00:21 |
|---|
| soldats | Joachim_Joe, its donr this for a long time | 00:21 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: with super user permissions, you cold easily write a script that functions such as a virus. | 00:21 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | GIMP22: true that...:) $1000 for an enterprise xen license vs $5750 for an ESX enterprise license does make xen look very appealing :-D | 00:21 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | AprilHare: it's basically too difficult - the reason Windows has so many viruses are purely because of design decisions in Windows | 00:21 |
|---|
| loke | could*, rather. | 00:21 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: that's what I just said ;-) | 00:21 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: you *could* | 00:21 |
|---|
| GIMP22 | kitohawaii, hopefully VMWare will still win out. I have VMWare shares :-D | 00:21 |
|---|
| richo | Sepheebear: xarchiver installed also now. works there also. | 00:21 |
|---|
| Sepheebear | richo: havent used synaptic in a while but IIRC you could just search unrar by package name | 00:21 |
|---|
| T70K5 | cp: cannot create regular file `/media/disk-3/super_grub_disk_0.9673.iso': Read-only file system | 00:21 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | loke: one vector would be a malicious Makefile | 00:21 |
|---|
| Pelo | AlReece45, reboot your comp, from the boot menu select the recovery mode then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg when asked select the vesa driver , for everthing else, if y ou donT, know for sure use the provided defaults or donT' put anything in | 00:21 |

| richo | Sepheebear: yeah and i found but that one didnt do the trick strangley. | 00:21 |
|---|
| loke | gordon: so, as I said, in essence, there are viruses for linux, they just don't work as intended. | 00:21 |

|---|
| kitofhawaii | GIMP22: lol vmware's not going anywhere...definitely not. next shareholder meeting tell them to fix their darn flexnet licensing so it works right :-D | 00:22 |
|---|
| richo | Sepheebear: but through terminal it worked?! also xarchiver looks ok so now i have 2 options to do it ;) thx alot | 00:22 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | soldats: :) I see. BTW, followed the manual, getting the message: nvidia-glx is not available or is missing from the package. | 00:22 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5,do you have some free space on this comp ? | 00:22 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | soldats: should it be included with Ubunto? | 00:22 |
|---|
| GIMP22 | kitohawaii, I'll be sure to do that :-) | 00:22 |
|---|
| T70K5 | yes, quite a bit | 00:22 |
|---|
| AprilHare | gordonjcp, imho it may be due to the ubiquity of windows that so many virii exist for it | 00:22 |
|---|
| soldats | Joachim_Joe, i think it should try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx | 00:22 |
|---|
| Fezzler | What multimedia pc-tv cards work with Ubuntu? | 00:23 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | soldats: one more question: I have an intel64 pc, but am using the 32-bit version, would it be better to install the 64bit version? | 00:23 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | AprilHare: nope | 00:23 |
|---|
| Sepheebear | richo: that is strange but i use aptitude to manage and for some reason installs are much simpler | 00:23 |
|---|
| sake | #Ubuntu-pl | 00:23 |
|---|
| Fezzler | I want to watch tv and edit video on my Ubuntu PC | 00:23 |
|---|
| soldats | Joachim_Joe, you "should" be fine but the 64 bit may be better choice | 00:23 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | come on | 00:23 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | AprilHare: that helps, but the fact that Windows is designed to basically be wide open to anyone who wants to exploit it is the major thing | 00:23 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | someone must've used a crossover cable with ubuntu | 00:23 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | heeeelp =( | 00:23 |
|---|
| richo | Sepheebear: ok ill try to remember that. thx again. saved ALOT of time ;) | 00:23 |
|---|
| Pelo | T70K5, ok resize your / partiton, make a new ext3 partiton from the freespace, copy your /home folder to it , the reinstall ubuntu , when you get to the partiton selection section , use manual and tell the installer where to find your /home folder | 00:23 |

| ivx | hello all, i'm having a problem. I install dnsmasq and modified the config so what when i go to "intranet" it will take to a local web server, when i do dig intranet it comes up right, but then when i try to do it in firefox it does a google search for it, how can i turn that off so it sends the dns request and does it like a website | 00:23 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | AprilHare: no version of Windows can be adequately secured | 00:23 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | Qjimbo: what about a crossover cable? | 00:23 |
|---|
| akincer | Having trouble playing DVDs. Totem is giving "The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?" GXine gives " Error reading NAV packet." Anyone else seen these errors? | 00:23 |

|---|
| gordonjcp | Qjimbo: plug the crossover cable into each PC | 00:24 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | I have done | 00:24 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | soldats: that means reinstalling everything right? | 00:24 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | Qjimbo: you set an ip on both sides? | 00:24 |
|---|
| gordonjcp | that should be you, then | 00:24 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | soldats: package nvidia has no installation candiate. | 00:24 |
|---|
| nubuntu | hola! | 00:24 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | what settins do I do on the linux box? | 00:24 |

| Qjimbo | yeah | 00:26 |

| AlReece45 | Okay: After fresh (or near fresh) install, when gdm is supposed to start, the computer sortof blanks out. The screen is black, I have already tried changing the driver from nv to vesa, but that did not solve the problem. In recovery mode, I am able to start gdm manually `/etc/init.d/gdm start` and it comes up correctly for both drivers, it only seems to not work when starting up normally. | 00:51 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | Joachim_Joe, one sec. i need to restart compiz i think. | 00:51 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | Ashfire908, I can't rembember.. something about software updates. I think it's because my notebook was not connected to the Internet. | 00:51 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | Ashfire908, ok | 00:51 |
|---|
| AprilHare | bbl | 00:52 |

| kitofhawaii | sam_: atheros is a chipset...they only make the chip. manufacturers put them in the cards | 00:52 |
|---|
| RootyRootRootWoo | Hi, I installed kde through synaptic. Where is the button I press to switch from gnome to kde pls? | 00:52 |
|---|
| loke | sam_: You'll want to look at any wireless cards and verify that they have the atheros chipset. | 00:52 |
|---|
| cafuego | Logout, choose 'KDE' on the login window, then login. | 00:52 |
|---|
| kelsin | RootyRootRootWoo: at the login screen you change your "session" to kde | 00:52 |
|---|
| RootyRootRootWoo | thanks both / logging out | 00:52 |
|---|
| sam_ | loke .. u r right | 00:53 |
|---|
| loke | sam_: kitofhawa is the one who is right, I'm just re-inforcing his/her point. =] | 00:53 |
|---|
| sam_ | when i bought this dell inspiron 6400 in the beginning of this year i didnt look much as it was necessary for my education i had to buy urgently but now i am just taking time before i can fix | 00:53 |
|---|
| loke | sam_: Patiently researching compatible hardware is a good idea. | 00:54 |
|---|
| reallyjoel | Shoudln't new HDD's be listed in /media automatically? | 00:54 |
|---|
| sam_ | yes | 00:54 |
|---|
| sam_ | especially if it has to work with linux | 00:54 |
|---|
| sam_ | research is important | 00:54 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | Joachim_Joe, then that means whatever that was installing didn't because it couldn't download the package. there should be no issue, as it was in the downloading phase and shouldn't of done anything wrong. | 00:54 |
|---|
| sam_ | that is how i came across sabayon also | 00:54 |
|---|
| soldats | reallyjoel, they need to be mounted in order to see them in /media | 00:54 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | sam_: http://www.atheros.com/news/Retail.html check out the cards there but confirm the one you get has an atheros chipset (check revision etc) before you get it | 00:55 |
|---|
| sam_ | yes let me check it | 00:55 |
|---|
| reallyjoel | soldats, how do i mount? | 00:56 |
|---|
| sam_ | which one are u using kito? | 00:56 |
|---|
| soldats | reallyjoel, right click on drive and choose mount | 00:56 |
|---|
| pgdx | Need help: I'm trying to make my own install cd based on the Ubuntu 7.10 server. I followed a manual on the net, but there is no such file as ./casper/squashfs.filesystem. Doesn't the server CD have squash? | 00:56 |
|---|
| reallyjoel | drive..? it's the drive I dont have.. | 00:56 |
|---|
| Randomist | I want to clean install Ubuntu but I don't want to kill my home directory (I forgot to put it on another partition). | 00:57 |
|---|
| soldats | reallyjoel, if you want them to auto mount everytime you need to add them to /etc/fstab | 00:57 |
|---|
| Yaz | Anyway, is anyone from the Boston area? | 00:57 |
|---|
| Randomist | How can I clean install without killing mah home directory | 00:57 |
|---|
| Randomist | --my | 00:57 |
|---|
| circaen | ok,I have a Gateway 832GM, xp completely crashed and it didnt come with a disk, so im trying Ubuntu..but im getting hardware erros..i cant read them because they go too fast..i read up and everything i have read seemed like my computer would work fine.. | 00:57 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | Ashfire908: hope so, I could not really check the error messages at that time. | 00:57 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | sam_: me? cisco :) but that's because i use it for work. (it's a bit pricy) | 00:57 |
|---|
| loke | Randomist: You'll have to create a backup, as installing ubuntu requires you to format the main partition, which includes the /home directory. | 00:57 |
|---|
| pgdx | circaen: shift-page-up ? | 00:57 |
|---|
| sam_ | lol kito.... | 00:58 |
|---|
| sam_ | i am using dell laptop | 00:58 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | Ashfire908: also thank you for your help :) One final question. Is it possible to install use KDE with Ubunto and what are some good sites to start learning about Linux in general? | 00:58 |
|---|
| circaen | pgdx, someone else told me to use caps lock, but ill go try Shift | 00:58 |
|---|
| sam_ | and i am planning to buy dell inspiron 1521 | 00:58 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | sam_: have you checked to see if dell offers minipci cards for your laptop? | 00:58 |
|---|
| sam_ | yes | 00:58 |
|---|
| sam_ | it offers minipci cards | 00:58 |
|---|
| pgdx | Joachim_Joe: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 00:58 |
|---|
| Yaz | Joachim_Joe: check out kubuntu | 00:58 |
|---|
| sam_ | the one i have now is dell 1390 mini | 00:58 |
|---|
| sam_ | it is not compatible with ubuntu | 00:59 |
|---|
| sam_ | so i get disconnected frequently | 00:59 |
|---|
| UserUbuntu | help, i need install gcc in ubunto, i tried "sudo apt-get install build-essential", but continues "gcc: no input files" | 00:59 |
|---|
| onats | does anyone have any experience installing ubuntu on the new lenovo thinkpad x61/x61s? | 00:59 |
|---|
| sam_ | and it doesnt connect to all access points that easily | 00:59 |
|---|
| sam_ | unless the signal strength is 80 or more it doesnt connect | 00:59 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | sam_: minipci is relatively "universal" so you should be able to find an atheros minipci card that dell supports | 00:59 |
|---|
| sam_ | yes | 00:59 |
|---|
| sam_ | i will ask them ...if they have one .. | 01:00 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | onats, are you having an specific problems | 01:00 |
|---|
| loke | UserUbuntu: sudo apt-get install gcc-4.2 | 01:00 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | sam_: and you won't have some pc card with a flimsy antenna hanging out the side of your laptop :) | 01:00 |
|---|
| UserUbuntu | thanks i will try it; | 01:00 |
|---|
| onats | infinitycircuit, no, but am planning to buy these, if i dont get any information re. problems.. lenovo's on sale | 01:00 |
|---|
| sam_ | i know | 01:00 |
|---|
| sam_ | but still | 01:00 |
|---|
| pgdx | I'll repeat my question in case someone missed it: I'm trying to make my own install cd based on the Ubuntu 7.10 server. I followed a manual on the net, but there is no such file as ./casper/squashfs.filesystem. Doesn't the server CD have squash? | 01:00 |
|---|
| onats | one of these that is.. | 01:00 |
|---|
| zanthus | hi everybody. Does anyone know if there is a way to limit the download speed when downloading updates in update manager on gutsy? | 01:00 |
|---|
| sam_ | it is so hard for me to connect to any access point | 01:00 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | onats, thinkpads have excellent support for linux. you should have no problems | 01:00 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | sam_: if you do get a pc card...i recommend spending the extra $5 for card insurance, so when you bust the antenna, wherever you get it will replace it for free | 01:01 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | onats, but you should think about which network card you install | 01:01 |
|---|
| UserUbuntu | <loke> impossible find gcc-4.2 | 01:01 |
|---|
| circaen | pgdx, it works until it gets to the end of the list of errors..is there a way i can pause it from going so fast? | 01:01 |
|---|
| sam_ | great...kito..i will remember that... | 01:01 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | Yaz, is Kubuntu a proper release? | 01:01 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | onats, atheros works well but the support for the newer intel chipsets improves all the time | 01:01 |
|---|
| K_Dallas | Q: Would it be possible at all to make my Epson-pinter (scanner-fax) CX5800F work under Gutsy? Right now, x-sane doesn't recognize it neither cupsys. Thank | 01:01 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | I just would like KDE | 01:01 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | sam_: compusa offers it :) | 01:01 |
|---|
| sam_ | hahahhaa | 01:01 |
|---|
| pgdx | circaen: try this: less /var/log/messages | 01:01 |
|---|
| loke | UserUbuntu: You might have an older version. Try sudo apt-cache search gcc|grep gcc | 01:01 |
|---|
| pgdx | circaen: or: dmesg | tail | 01:01 |
|---|
| pgdx | ehm, no: dmesg | less | 01:01 |
|---|
| circaen | where do i put that? | 01:01 |
|---|
| onats | infinitycircuit, but the support for the intel chips come from? the community? | 01:02 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | Ashfire908, what was that command againß | 01:02 |
|---|
| pgdx | write it after you log in | 01:02 |
|---|
| loke | UserUbuntu: Look for the last one, it should be something like...gcc-4.2, or gcc-3.4, or similar. | 01:02 |
|---|
| sam_ | what other linux distributions do u use apart from ubuntu? | 01:02 |
|---|
| sam_ | kito.. | 01:02 |

| UserUbuntu | <loke> ok | 01:02 |

|---|
| CppIsWeird | how do i upgrade my feisty to gutsy? | 01:02 |

| Joachim_Joe | Ashfire908: Could not open file, open 13 permission denied. | 01:02 |
|---|
| eunia | ls | 01:02 |
|---|
| pgdx | CppIsWeird: apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:02 |

|---|
| pgdx | But preferably with the gui package manager | 01:03 |
|---|
| loke | sam_: Open susie? :D | 01:03 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | Joachim_Joe, KDE on ubuntu is kubuntu. | 01:03 |
|---|
| sam_ | yeah? | 01:03 |
|---|
| loke | sam_: I'm pretty sure you'd have to pay for that | 01:03 |
|---|

|---|
| Ashfire908 | !kde > Joachim_Joe | 01:03 |
|---|
| pgdx | circaen: after you log in, in a terminal | 01:03 |

| sam_ | which ever is available on their website | 01:03 |
|---|
| loke | sam_: Sorry, bad joke. It's "Open Suse" | 01:03 |
|---|
| eunia | anyone have any ideas of what I should do | 01:03 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | !kde | 01:03 |
|---|
| ubotu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 01:03 |
|---|
| sam_ | hahaha | 01:03 |
|---|
| sam_ | :D | 01:03 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | sam_: it's a pain...opensuse doesn't have as good package handling so anything outside of yast is hit or miss | 01:03 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | Joachim_Joe, i really don't know any good linux sites :( | 01:03 |
|---|
| sam_ | ok thank god... i used it as virtual machine | 01:04 |
|---|
| circaen | I cant log in, it gets to the loading screen and stops on three bars, i have tried Ubuntu and freespire | 01:04 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | linux.org :) tldp.org are good.. | 01:04 |
|---|
| sam_ | i am happy with ubuntu 7.10 | 01:04 |
|---|
| loke | sam_: I personally can't stand yum or yast...or whatever the others use. I stick to debian based distributions. | 01:04 |
|---|
| pgdx | circaen: try pressing alt-f2 | 01:04 |
|---|
| sam_ | no major issues | 01:04 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | Ashfire908, thanks :) could not find package kubunto desktop.. download it first? Okay about the Linux sites | 01:04 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | Joachim_Joe, you have synaptic, apt-get, or aptitude running somewhere. turn it off before you do try whatever you did again. | 01:04 |
|---|
| sam_ | :d yum or yast yes...u r right they are very painful compared to what i saw in ubuntu | 01:04 |
|---|
| sam_ | it is so easy here | 01:04 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | Joachim_Joe, i really don't know any good linux sites :( | 01:04 |
|---|
| loke | Joach: It's ubuntu, not ubuntu. sudo apt-cache search kubuntu-desktop | 01:04 |
|---|
| sam_ | no wonder it is famous | 01:04 |
|---|
| sam_ | and widely used | 01:04 |
|---|
| pgdx | Joachim_Joe: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. It's written with u's, no o's | 01:04 |
|---|
| Yaz | loke: I agree. Until trying Debian I never realized what it was that I didn't like about other distros/linux | 01:04 |

|---|
| sam_ | god ...yum was horrible when i used fedora 8 .. | 01:05 |
|---|
| loke | sam_: Alien is another "package" to handle rpm's (native for fedora, whereas we have .deb). | 01:06 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | loke: lol...alien. alien kicked my puppy a few times :) aka if it works great, when it doesn't *ouch* | 01:06 |

| tyronepolleri | loke, the color tab changes the background not the text | 01:07 |
|---|
| Yaz | tyronepolleri: then select the color tab | 01:07 |
|---|
| wisa | hi | 01:07 |
|---|
| Yaz | tyronepolleri: above the background color selector is the text color selector | 01:07 |

| tyronepolleri | Yaz, is that for the text or only for the background | 01:07 |
|---|
| wisa | i have a question | 01:07 |

| loke | tyronepolleri: There's a "Text Color" option. It's oner of the first. | 01:07 |

|---|
| pgdx | bmt2: but elsewhere? | 01:08 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | Joachim_Joe, that error is because either apt-get, aptitude, or synaptic is running and you then tryed to run one of those programs. | 01:08 |
|---|
| bmt2 | how do i "show" possible wireless connections | 01:08 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | Joachim_Joe, only one can be running at a time | 01:08 |
|---|
| pgdx | bmt2: well, by clicking the network icon up to the right | 01:09 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | haha my screens wobble when I maximize minimize | 01:09 |
|---|
| bmt2 | i do that, it does not show me a listing of possible wireless connections | 01:09 |

| Joachim_Joe | Ok, I am in that package manager, Ashfire908, do I enable it? | 01:09 |

| mnemonica | ashfire908: Because I need to change a memory setting from 64 to 32. | 01:12 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | mnemonica, and why are you then trying to overwrite the compiz program? | 01:12 |
|---|
| pgdx | bmt2: ifconfig -a gives you three or more listings? lo, eth0 and ... ? | 01:12 |
|---|
| steven_ | i'm up to date (just checked) and running gutsy amd64 | 01:12 |
|---|
| steven_ | any ideas? | 01:12 |
|---|
| UbuntMe | Hey, does anyone know of a program where I can convert my songs to different formats? | 01:12 |
|---|
| mnemonica | Ashfire908: Because I get "cannot enable desktop effects" when I try to enable them. Any of them. | 01:12 |
|---|
| UbuntMe | Also, movies to different formats | 01:12 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | gladier: open nautilus, navigate to your home folder. open trash, drag your desktop into nautilus | 01:12 |
|---|
| pgdx | gladier: try a terminal and ls .Trash | 01:13 |
|---|
| Yaz | graphical disk map is neat-o | 01:13 |
|---|
| pgdx | gladier: perhaps cp -R .Trash/Desktop . | 01:13 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | mnemonica, ... | 01:13 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | ok this is weird, I have my computer plugged directly into the router, however I can't ping the router or anything, and the lights are lit up on the socket so it's definitely connected | 01:13 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | mnemonica, are you trying to change the compiz settings? | 01:13 |
|---|
| bmt2 | pgdx: no pgdx...that is not what i am talking about.....for instance in windows you can right-click on the wireless interace, and it will say : "Show Available Wireless Networks"....or something of that saying.... | 01:13 |
|---|
| steven_ | ubuntme: mencoder or transcode | 01:13 |
|---|
| bmt2 | that is what i am talking about | 01:13 |
|---|
| pgdx | Qjimbo: do you have an IP? | 01:13 |
|---|
| gladier | kitofhawaii thansk that worked ... i tried cutting it before but that was greyed out | 01:13 |
|---|
| pgdx | bmt2: do you know if the drivers work ...= | 01:14 |
|---|
| pgdx | ? | 01:14 |
|---|
| mnemonica | ashfire908: Sure. I suppose. but I know that what I need is in this file. I need to save it, if it doesn't work I'll just go back in and change it back to a 64. | 01:14 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | gladier: np :) | 01:14 |
|---|
| mnemonica | ashfire908: So would you be so kind as to inform me on how to save it? | 01:14 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | mnemonica, it's not. | 01:14 |
|---|
| pgdx | mnemonica: sudo nano /usr.....file | 01:14 |
|---|
| circaen | pgdx,i got error_code+ox72/0x80 task_rq_lock+0x4a/0x80 | 01:14 |
|---|
| bmt2 | pgdx: i am not 100% on that...because i have had problems where my wireless network at home will work, and then it will not work | 01:14 |
|---|
| circaen | and some more | 01:14 |
|---|
| pgdx | Last try ... I'm trying to make my own install cd based on the Ubuntu 7.10 server. I followed a manual on the net, but there is no such file as ./casper/squashfs.filesystem. Doesn't the server CD have squash? | 01:15 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | Ashfire908, I typed sudo apt-get install kubuntu-destkop, am I rite or wrong? | 01:15 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | mnemonica, /usr/bin/compiz is a program, not a settings file | 01:15 |
|---|
| mnemonica | ashfire908: Then could you inform me as to where it -is-? Because that's the file that came up when I issued the prompt command | 01:15 |
|---|
| steven_ | anybody have any suggestions as to what to do when openssh-server crashes on attempted login? | 01:15 |
|---|
| pgdx | Joachim_Joe: right | 01:15 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | Joachim_Joe, that is right. | 01:15 |
|---|
| mnemonica | pgdx: and, thank you. | 01:15 |
|---|
| pgdx | steven_: restart the server | 01:15 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | mnemonica, what prompt command? | 01:15 |
|---|
| sebasianffx | somebody that help me please!!! | 01:15 |
|---|
| sebasianffx | when you have a kernel panic, is not possible to recover the O.S? | 01:16 |
|---|
| pgdx | steven_: as in /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 01:16 |
|---|
| Biohazard | Does anyone has a link where it is explained, why you shouldn't use sudo instead of gksudo with GUI applications? | 01:16 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | pgdx: according to the network settings I have DHCP enabled | 01:16 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | Ashfire908, cool.. now I logged off and on again to get rid of any open process but now it says, can't find package | 01:16 |
|---|
| steven_ | pgdx: i've tried that | 01:16 |
|---|
| steven_ | i even ran it with debug mode on | 01:16 |
|---|
| pgdx | steven_: still crashes -> fix /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 01:16 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | and ifconfig shows that stuff ahs been transmitted | 01:16 |
|---|
| steven_ | it doesn't give any enlightening error messages | 01:16 |
|---|
| steven_ | it's a fresh install | 01:16 |
|---|
| steven_ | just 10 seconds ago | 01:16 |
|---|
| steven_ | haven't customized sshd_config | 01:16 |
|---|
| devinus | when will firefox3 be released? | 01:16 |
|---|
| pgdx | Qjimbo: tried ifconfig in terminal? | 01:16 |
|---|
| sam_ | do i have to do kernel update in ubuntu? | 01:16 |
|---|
| sam_ | is it required? | 01:16 |
|---|
| === Tribes_ is now known as Tribes |
| STcom | okay now, anyone know why ubuntu would have just completely crashed on me? | 01:17 |
|---|
| sam_ | if yes then how? | 01:17 |
|---|
| pgdx | steven_: but you have installed openssh-server | 01:17 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | pgdx: yeah thats what I did to see | 01:17 |
|---|
| STcom | was just browsing and messaging | 01:17 |
|---|
| steven_ | yes | 01:17 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | and it shows that packets have been sent and recieved | 01:17 |

| steven_ | i haven't changed the sshd config from the defaults | 01:17 |
|---|
| xapon | Someone knows some program to Burn a Imagem on CD, by extension .NRG? | 01:17 |
|---|
| steven_ | i just apt-get installed it | 01:17 |
|---|
| steven_ | tried to log in | 01:17 |
|---|
| pgdx | steven_: sounds like a bug which needs to be reported to launchpad | 01:17 |
|---|
| steven_ | and it crashes | 01:17 |
|---|
| loke | Biohazard: Using sudo for GUI applications could cause minor problems like Firefox not keeping extentions, or serious problems such as not being able to log in anymore. | 01:17 |
|---|
| steven_ | sigh | 01:17 |
|---|
| mnemonica | *sigh* Didn't work either way. lol | 01:17 |
|---|
| steven_ | i was afraid of that :/ | 01:17 |
|---|
| captmorgan | STcom, not sure, any other pertinent info? | 01:17 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | mnemonica, DO - NOT - EDIT - /usr/bin/compiz | 01:18 |

| STcom | captmorgan: sadly, not | 01:18 |
|---|
| Yaz | Where can I find 'screenlet manager'? | 01:18 |
|---|
| pgdx | Qjimbo: What about an IÅ address? | 01:18 |
|---|
| pgdx | IP | 01:18 |
|---|
| loke | Biohazard: It could possibly change the permissions in the .ICEauthority file. | 01:18 |

| STcom | captmorgan, it just shut off | 01:18 |

|---|
| Ashfire908 | mnemonica, *sigh* editing it is like trying to edit a .exe file in windows. | 01:18 |
|---|
| mnemonica | ashfire908: I already did... It didn't do anything. I'm going to change it back now... Why was it SO important that I don't edit that file? | 01:18 |
|---|
| Biohazard | loke: thanks a lot | 01:19 |
|---|
| captmorgan | STcom: is this just a one time thing how long have you had ubuntu? | 01:19 |
|---|
| loke | Biohazard: Not a problem. | 01:19 |
|---|
| mnemonica | ashfire908: Right. And what I wanted to do was restrict it from using anything over 32mb of memory. | 01:19 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | :( just hibernated the first time with Ubuntu | 01:19 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | nice ugly screen | 01:19 |
|---|
| STcom | captmorgan, i've had it for a couple of weeks, and it's shut down occasionally, but nothing that didn't allow me to log back in | 01:19 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | pgdx: it appears I have an ipv6 address | 01:19 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | colourful lines | 01:19 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | mnemonica, IT"S NOT A SETTINGS FILE! IT"S A PROGRAM EXECUTABLE! | 01:19 |
|---|
| loke | mnemonica: I don't think you understand how it works. You can't directly limit the memory usage. | 01:20 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | looks like clouds | 01:20 |
|---|
| bmt2 | is there a command that i can do in a terminal that will show me avaiable wireless networks | 01:20 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | on top of colors | 01:20 |
|---|
| tonyyarusso | Ashfire908: Although, there are legitimate Windows tweaks that involve a .exe and a hex editor. The analogy doesn't transfer though. | 01:20 |
|---|
| pgdx | Qjimbo: try sudo dhclient eth0 | 01:20 |
|---|
| loke | mnemonica: and /usr/bin/compiz is kind of like...msn.exe. You can't "edit it" like that. | 01:20 |
|---|
| pgdx | bmt2: i told you ... iwlist scan eth1/wlan0 | 01:20 |
|---|
| Yaz | I edited usr/bin/compiz when emerald was giving me problems | 01:20 |
|---|
| aolaus | is there a configuration file for compiz that is editable? | 01:20 |
|---|
| Yaz | it was just a text file | 01:20 |
|---|
| mnemonica | ashfire908: I did that, but it didn't resolve the issue that I'm having with my video card. So thank you for attempting to help, but I have multiple sources that said contrary to you. Maybe I don't understand it, but I'm sure that the several individuals that posted guides did... It didn't affect anything anyway, so I don't really care now. Once again, thanks for the effort. | 01:20 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | tonyyarusso, it's the smae basic thing. don't edit it's not a settings file | 01:21 |
|---|
| pgdx | bmt2: but if your wireless card doesn't show in ifconfig -a you've got a driver issue | 01:21 |
|---|
| loke | Yaz: I think that's how compiz used to be. Not sure how it is now. | 01:21 |
|---|
| Joachim_Joe | Ashfire908: Thanks a bunch! Gonna try this KDE thing tomorrw, I think you answered enough of my questiosn :P | 01:21 |
|---|
| onats | is there a program for linux that i can use to create multi-page pdfs from scanned documents? | 01:21 |

| Joachim_Joe | Bye everyone! Happy 2. Advent | 01:21 |

| Ashfire908 | mnemonica, fine. go *** up your system. | 01:21 |

| pgdx | onats: open office? | 01:21 |
|---|
| onats | pgdx, which prog in open office? the word processor? | 01:21 |
|---|
| pgdx | Ashfire908: let mnemonica try | 01:22 |
|---|
| pgdx | onats: writer | 01:22 |
|---|
| tonyyarusso | Ashfire908: Under all normal conditions, right. (For example though, changing the text of the "Start" button I believe involves editing explorer.exe) Not for the faint of heart though, flat-out stupid when you have the source anyway, and completely useless when it's not even the right file :P | 01:22 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | eech, some process called "IRQ-16" is using all my CPU | 01:22 |
|---|
| zeroc00l | hi Guyz | 01:22 |
|---|
| Rafabe | hi. I need help setting up my wireless connection, but I use Xubuntu. Would the procedure be the same for both flavors, ie can I ask here? | 01:22 |
|---|
| loke | mnemonica: That's not a file you edit unless you're SURE of what you're doing. Since you're asking how...I'll assume you're not sure. | 01:22 |
|---|
| mnemonica | ashfire908: Don't be a jerk. I ALREADY EDITED THE FILE. IT DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. I CHANGED IT BACK. NO HARM DONE. Go eat a sock. | 01:22 |
|---|
| loke | mnemonica: A simple typo could cause compiz to no longer work. | 01:22 |
|---|
| squidink | what's the easiest way to install vmware-player in gutsy? | 01:22 |
|---|
| pgdx | Rafabe: know your way around a terminal? | 01:22 |
|---|
| Rafabe | pgdx: nope, first time using linux | 01:23 |
|---|
| Rafabe | although, I know OF it | 01:23 |
|---|
| Rafabe | if it's just a command that launches a wizard, I can take it from there | 01:23 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | pgdx, is there a ubuntu server channel? | 01:23 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | pgdx, are you aware what mnemonica is doing? | 01:23 |
|---|
| pgdx | Rafabe: well ... wireless is wireless, but Gnome has some tools XFCE doesn't. But if you have install xubuntu, there's no problem installing Gnome programs | 01:23 |
|---|
| Yaz | god, i keep DCing | 01:23 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | *is/trying to do? | 01:24 |
|---|
| Yaz | anyway...i edited /usr/bin/compiz | 01:24 |
|---|
| pgdx | lovedeatm: eh, why do you ask? Don't know, my first time here | 01:24 |
|---|
| Yaz | it was just a text file | 01:24 |
|---|
| sebasianffx | when you have a kernel panic, is not possible to recover the O.S? | 01:24 |
|---|
| mnemonica | loke: I understand that. It already doesn't work, I'm trying to figure out what is wrong. There is a line in that "file" or "executable" or whatever the hell it is, that has something to do with NVIDIA's memory. The value is normally 64, but some cards can only handle compiz if the value is 32. I don't know why, but it doesn't mater. | 01:24 |
|---|
| mnemonica | Yaz: Thank you... jeez | 01:24 |
|---|
| pgdx | sebasianffx: you can get your data if that's what you want | 01:24 |
|---|
| Ashfire908 | huh | 01:24 |
|---|
| mnemonica | lol | 01:24 |
|---|
| pgdx | sebasianffx: and, so, yes | 01:24 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | pgdx, i have server issues and question | 01:24 |
|---|
| Rafabe | I know of one command: ifconfig, and running it shows that it detects my wireless card, and the "RX" packets keep increasing. Therefore it seems to work, I just need to enter a connection. Everything is disabled (greyed out) in Apps > System > Network, so I need to figure out how to enter my WPA key and SIID | 01:24 |
|---|
| Rafabe | SSID | 01:24 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | sebasianffx: I think if you boot off the unbuntu cd there's a "rescue broken install" or something | 01:24 |

| lulu | hi, xserver-xorg fails on ATI Radeon X700 (gutsy), any ideas on how to solve the problem? | 01:24 |

| Qjimbo | *ubuntu | 01:24 |

| xiven | I have Ubuntu Fiesty installed...and..I can get an IP, and nameservers...but I cannot ping anything (not even my router), nor connect at all... | 01:26 |
|---|
| mnemonica | loke: that was the line of code that I changed. all I did was change the 64 to 32, it didn't do ANYTHING noticable. I changed it back. | 01:26 |
|---|
| AlReece45 | gdm fails to start when booting ubuntu normally. What would prevent it from starting or how can I get it to work as expected? | 01:26 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | pgdx, i need to know what kinda of setup to use (ie lamp) for such purposes (RTASS means audio streaming) | 01:26 |
|---|
| pgdx | lovedeatm: Well ... icecast? | 01:26 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | xiven: I have the EXACT same problem! | 01:26 |
|---|
| lulu | AlReece45, bad xorg.conf configuration, did you have desktop running at least once? | 01:27 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | and I can't figure out what the bloody hell is going on | 01:27 |
|---|
| xiven | My internet, is wireless broadband, although, up until the Modem itself, its wired. | 01:27 |
|---|
| pgdx | lovedeatm: Are you asking which distro to install, or what packages under Ubuntu? | 01:27 |
|---|
| loke | mnemonica: If you're trying to make it 32mb, then the number would be 32768 | 01:27 |
|---|
| AlReece45 | lulu:afer booting to recovery mode, I can start gdm manually. | 01:27 |
|---|
| Yaz | I just installed screenlets, but how do I run it? | 01:27 |
|---|
| mnemonica | loke: The guide said to simply change the value "64MB" to "32MB" | 01:27 |
|---|
| Qjimbo | interesting xiven, my network is also wireless, though at the moment I've got the computer plugged directly into the router with ethernet | 01:27 |
|---|
| mEck0 | what differs ubuntu desktop and server edition? | 01:28 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | pgdx, weh you pop in the installation CD i get 2 choice of installation | 01:28 |
|---|
| mnemonica | loke: Ah. I see now... The 64 is noted. | 01:28 |
|---|
| jackaesop | xiven: perhaps a driver problem? | 01:28 |
|---|
| pgdx | mEck0: a lot, no GUI in server | 01:28 |
|---|
| loke | mnemonica: The "64MB" part is commented, so it's not directly part of the config. The 64xxx is what needs to change | 01:28 |
|---|
| pgdx | lovedeatm: ah, well ... What are those? | 01:28 |
|---|
| pgdx | LAMP and? | 01:28 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | pgdx, you get lamp and something else...i don't know which will suit my needs and there is another issue in volve brb let me get you a link to my full question | 01:29 |
|---|
| mnemonica | loke: Awesome, thanks. I'll change that and see if it helps. | 01:29 |
|---|
| lulu | AlReece45, uhm, so it looks like its not xorg.conf fault, I'm clueless, sorry | 01:29 |

| mEck0 | pgdx, ok, because I want to install ubuntu again after I've tested archlinux for a couple of days. I think it is faster than ubuntu, but maybe to much to configure... which wm should I install ubuntu with do you think? | 01:31 |
|---|
| xiven | Well my internet is wireless...but i have it wired all the way up to the Modem itself. | 01:31 |
|---|
| PirateHead | Pelo: From the Epiphany website: "Epiphany runs all the same popular plugins that run in Mozilla." | 01:31 |
|---|
| pgdx | lovedeatm: if you don't want Apache/Mysql/PHP, don't choose the LAMP. It depends what you want from your server. If you just wish to stream aufio from it, just apt-get install icecast and ices | 01:31 |
|---|
| lulu | AlReece45, probably xorgs, and I don't know if gdm dumps logs too, you can find them in /var/log | 01:31 |
|---|
| mnemonica | loke: Meh... Didn't affect anything. I still can't enable desktop effects | 01:31 |

| Pelo | PirateHead, then the website should tell you how todo it | 01:31 |

|---|
| synthase | is there a way to revert back to a previous configuration point in ubuntu? | 01:32 |

| PirateHead | Pelo: It says that the extensions package should be available through your distro, at which point I came here and posed my question. | 01:32 |
|---|
| meanjean | does ubuntu come with ndisgtk? | 01:32 |

| pgdx | mEck0: whatever you like. Gnome is to Ubuntu as KDE is to Kubuntu. If you don't like Gnome after a while, just apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, you can test KDE | 01:32 |

| david_J | Cpudan80: You prolly need the codec ffmepg try mplayer | 01:33 |

|---|
| Dr_willis | adamonline45, you did enable some samba shares? | 01:35 |
|---|
| pgdx | lovedeatm: No, unfortunately. But enough. SSH and all other needed GNU-utils. No GUI, though. So you need to know your way around the terminal | 01:35 |

| pgdx | lovedeatm: and, btw, VLC can also stream, but I think, if you wanna set up a radio station, that icecast is more suited | 01:37 |
|---|
| zeroc00l | adamonline45: it's a thing that I have noticed, Ubuntu fresh install, see the XPs network neighborhood, when you want to share a folder it wants install Samba and then it'll be more time to see the others XP computers | 01:37 |

|---|
| super61 | uncommon: what do you mean? | 01:41 |
|---|
| Pelo | meanjean, to use ndiswrapper you need to get the .inf file for the windows driver, put it somewhere convinient on your ubuntu partiton then start ndiswrapper from the command line and point it to the .inf file | 01:41 |
|---|
| Cpudan80 | david_J: Are you playing it back in VLC? | 01:42 |
|---|
| uncommon | <super61> : ePSXe is not statically link to any shared library yet you have to unpack it you have to download something i forgot the name | 01:42 |

| super61 | uncommon: ldd? im still a little new with ubuntu\ | 01:46 |

| adamonline45 | Where should I put applications that I compile myself? | 01:59 |

|---|
| tarzeau | adamonline45: somewhere that a ubuntu package won't ever put it. /opt or /usr/local | 02:00 |
|---|
| super61 | uncommon: ok | 02:00 |

| tarzeau | adamonline45: or make your own deb package. or use gnu stow | 02:00 |

| adamonline45 | tarzeau: That's what I figured... /usr/local/bin ok? | 02:00 |
|---|
| Laney | Pelo: I did, nothing seemed to stand out. | 02:00 |
|---|
| tarzeau | adamonline45: depends on the software, but yes sounds good | 02:00 |
|---|
| Laney | Pelo: Would some log somewhere have noted when it suspended? | 02:00 |
|---|
| adamonline45 | (I'm not sure where the package manager puts things) :) ty! | 02:00 |
|---|
| tarzeau | adamonline45: some want sbin or games | 02:00 |

| Cpudan80 | VLC plays the audio - but no picture | 02:02 |
|---|
| david_J | eunia: You need a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | 02:02 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | Laney, have you checked the monitors own settings as well to make sure it isn't hardwired to turn off | 02:02 |

| eunia | I didn't see anything for Intel ipw3945 card | 02:02 |
|---|
| super61 | uncommon: no | 02:02 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | Laney, the config file is in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf, but now that i think about it, dpms screen blanking is disabled by default, so that shouldn't be the problem | 02:02 |
|---|
| Laney | infinitycircuit: It's definitely a software suspend - the monitor's LED flashes when it happens. | 02:03 |
|---|
| david_J | eunia: maybe go to the wpa_supplicant website... Well that is if you have the driver installed correctly... | 02:03 |
|---|
| super61 | uncommon: nothing says missing | 02:03 |

| david_J | eunia: Can you see the device? | 02:03 |

| eunia | yeah | 02:03 |
|---|
| eyemean | pelo, ok thanx m8 | 02:03 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | Laney, if you never want to blank the screen, you should be able to comment out the line that says "Option "DPMS"" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:03 |

| Pelo | shadowblade, doesn'T cupsys install by default ? | 02:06 |
|---|
| super61 | uncommon: it says undefined symbol for plugins | 02:06 |
|---|
| uncommon | super61 : if you have problems with plugins there are plenty just google it or you can install the one on the synaptic you can install it by finding the word "psx" in synaptic | 02:06 |
|---|
| Laney | infinitycircuit: Well I was just going to try getting rid and seeing if the problem went away. I see some option called LM_AC_TERMINAL_BLANK_MINUTES=10 which looks like it could have something to do with it. CONTROL_DPMS_STANDBY is 0 though. | 02:06 |
|---|
| super61 | uncommon: ok | 02:06 |
|---|
| shadowblade | Pelo: yes, but it was giving me errors when i tried to install other stuff, so I had to remove it temporarily | 02:06 |

|---|
| infinitycircuit | ctothej, did you try the manual install of the nvidia drivers the debian way? | 02:07 |

|---|
| shadowblade | Pelo: everything works fine when i remove cupsys, but as soon as i try to install it again, i cant install anything else | 02:07 |
|---|
| ctothej | infinitycircuit: i downloaded the .run file from nvidia's site and installed from that with the new kernwl | 02:08 |
|---|
| uncommon | <tech0007> : i really dunno but it was design to load the PS1 bios only... | 02:08 |
|---|
| ctothej | infinitycircuit: it had to recompile for that kernel, and it seemed to do so just fine | 02:08 |
|---|
| thebagofsand | DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0 | 02:08 |

| Pelo | shadowblade, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu or xubuntu, which ever you are using , see if it fixes the probelm , should reinstall everything that is part fo tth default install | 02:08 |

|---|
| Varka | Kalamansi, its ok but not recommended as you have a lot of stuff running you dont need on a server, first of all the xserver | 02:34 |
|---|
| fantum13 | MarcoRamius: Yeah alright jackass, can I use nautilus or K3B or Braesero to burn a mac image file? | 02:34 |
|---|
| soothsayer | AprilHare: did you download the 64bit version on accident? | 02:34 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | manad, you can always use the gksu line from the run prompt reached by alt+f2 | 02:35 |
|---|
| AprilHare | soothsayer, no - this was reported by the Add/Remove menu | 02:35 |
|---|
| whoDunIt | fantum13: you could change the extension to .iso | 02:35 |
|---|
| AprilHare | it is strange behaviour | 02:35 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | manad, it is dangerous to indiscriminately give yourself root privileges and is highly discouraged | 02:35 |
|---|
| mrdinkles | anyone know of a good music sharing program-- ie sharazaa for linux? | 02:35 |
|---|
| Spzatt | where should i put it Kalamansi? | 02:36 |
|---|
| uncommon | guys do we need to file a love letter and court every Major and indie game developer around the world just to convince them how great the linux is for gaming.. No i don't think so.. What I think they all know how great linux is for gamin I just don't seem to get why none of them or very few them is interested. | 02:36 |
|---|
| manad | infinity: got it...I meant easy GUI access to granting myself privileges | 02:36 |
|---|
| super61 | uncommon: if people used linux more then windows then devs would make more games for linux | 02:36 |
|---|
| MarcoRamius | there's nothing wrong with booting to windows to game | 02:36 |
|---|
| MarcoRamius | it's no different than turning on an xbox | 02:36 |
|---|
| Kalamansi | Varka : im not good in "type" thing in terminal..so is it okay to use ubuntu 7.10 desktop as server with x window?take note that this server is just a server only.no surfing/downloading/etc/ once i finish install firewall and other packet filtering and limiting bandwidth with a certain user who always use "youtube" | 02:36 |
|---|
| Spzatt | Kalamansi, where to add blacklist pcspkr ? | 02:36 |
|---|
| super61 | yea but windows is so open its not even funny | 02:37 |
|---|
| Kalamansi | Spzatt: put a what? | 02:37 |
|---|
| fantum13 | manad: The second you do that will be the second you irreversibly break something. The reason why linux is more secure than windows is that in windows, you're _always_ root | 02:37 |
|---|
| uncommon | super61 : i'm not talkin' about monopoly i'm talkin about availability and portability... if the issues here is about license linux is very flexible... | 02:37 |

| Kalamansi | Spzatt : i think im not a right guy to answer you...im a first timer...i was asking help also | 02:37 |
|---|
| MarcoRamius | fantum13: good for you | 02:37 |
|---|
| Spzatt | k | 02:37 |
|---|
| manad | fantum: fair enough...but I'd still have to enter my password if I had easy GUI access to higher privileges, so it's not a security risk | 02:37 |
|---|
| fantum13 | Spzatt: you add "blacklist <thing you want to blacklist>" to the end of the file. | 02:38 |
|---|
| Spzatt | Well folks you guys wanted my paste to help me with locating my old C: drive , here is it : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47487/ | 02:38 |
|---|
| fantum13 | manad: any privilege escalation is a security risk. | 02:38 |

| AprilHare | i searched for the package with apt and it finds vmware-server but not vmware player | 02:38 |

| fds | test | 02:38 |

|---|
| super61 | uncommon: GPL | 02:38 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | Spzatt, you need to add the line "blacklist pcspkr" to etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 02:38 |
|---|
| Spzatt | infinity, didnt work. | 02:38 |
|---|
| fantum13 | Spzatt: Your drive doesn't seem to be mounted. | 02:39 |
|---|
| Spzatt | How do i mount it ? >.< | 02:39 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | Spzatt, it will work on reboot, you can get it to work now by just typing "sudo modprobe -r pcspkr" | 02:39 |
|---|
| mrdinkles | Anyone know of a good music file sharing program for linux IE. shareaza | 02:39 |
|---|
| manad | by the way, having just finished installing Ubuntu, I checked for updates, and there's 79 updates in the Update Manager. I'm not sure what I should update or not...are they all important updates? | 02:39 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | Spzatt, please pastebin the result of "sudo fdisk -l" | 02:39 |
|---|
| fantum13 | mrdinkles: try aMule, an open-source emule client | 02:39 |
|---|
| AprilHare | isn't there limewire for linux? | 02:39 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | manad, you should let everything udpate | 02:39 |
|---|
| uncommon | manad : windows is monolithic ... if Maria is for Juan and Elena is for Pedro in the worl of windows it isn't like that it's like Maria and Elena is for Juan and even Juan is for Pedro even the gender doens't matter as long as it can be stick anywhere though anywhere as long as there is a hole... lolz | 02:39 |
|---|
| Varka | Kalamansi, just as i said, its you have all functions and abilities in the desktop package as in the serverpackage, but also a lot stuff in addition you wont need. so if that is ok for you, its also ok for you to use the desktop version as a server | 02:39 |
|---|
| === omninek is now known as supanek0 |
| emma | Yes there is limewire for linux | 02:39 |
|---|
| dli | Spzatt, "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/windows; sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows" | 02:39 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | technically linux is monolithic as well | 02:40 |
|---|
| ctothej | infinitycircuit: "nvidia.ko failed to build" is the message i get when trying to compile it the debian way | 02:40 |

|---|
| techno-wi1 | Anyone know how to edit the places menu? I want to add a mountpoint to it. | 02:40 |
|---|
| emma | you can probably just sudo apt-get install limewire | 02:40 |
|---|
| mrdinkles | k | 02:40 |
|---|
| shadowblade | What does it mean if a package is not verified? | 02:40 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | ctothej, that's weird well sorry i can't help you at this point since i have intel graphics cards | 02:40 |

| infinitycircuit | Spzatt, he is referring to /etc/fstab | 02:40 |

| fantum13 | AprilHare: For a way better protocol, try using bittorrent with the Deluge client | 02:40 |
|---|
| Spzatt | ount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action: | 02:40 |
|---|
| AprilHare | emma, not there | 02:41 |
|---|
| AprilHare | fantum13, deluge? | 02:41 |
|---|
| emma | I have limewire on my comp but I don't remember how I got it. Maybe I installed it myself. | 02:41 |
|---|
| AprilHare | torrents are normally for large files | 02:41 |
|---|
| timnik | techno-wi1, If you only want to add something to it, browse to what you want to add, then press ctrl+d too bookmark it and it will appear there. | 02:41 |
|---|
| emma | Yes deluge is a nice bittorent ap. | 02:41 |
|---|
| super61 | well linux is still getting devoloped. it well be as good as windows soon | 02:41 |
|---|
| emma | It's the one I use. | 02:41 |
|---|
| fantum13 | Spzatt: NTFS is a proprietary file system and all linux drivers for its use have been reverse-engineered. You should only use NTFS on linux with caution | 02:41 |
|---|
| manad | what's the torrent client of choice on linux? I used uTorrent on Windows. | 02:41 |
|---|
| emma | You can probably sudo apt-get install deluge | 02:41 |
|---|
| fantum13 | AprilHare: yes, and discographies are large files ;) | 02:41 |
|---|
| emma | But then you have to use google to search for your torrents. | 02:41 |
|---|
| dli | Spzatt, pastebin the error message | 02:41 |
|---|
| fantum13 | manad: try Deluge or Azureus | 02:42 |
|---|
| techno-wi1 | Thanks! | 02:42 |

|---|
| fantum13 | AprilHare: more than I could ever possibly store | 02:42 |
|---|
| uncommon | super61 : linux is even better than windows it's the vendor support that's lacking and other third parties... | 02:42 |

|---|
| Spzatt | Failed to mount '/dev/hdb1': Operation not supported | 02:42 |

| Spzatt | clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows | 02:42 |

| Spzatt | taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly. | 02:42 |

|---|
| Spzatt | mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows -o force | 02:42 |

| NullName | I need to buy a wireless router and adapter, preferably cheap that will work with xubuntu 7.10? | 02:44 |
|---|
| NullName | ANyone have any ideas? | 02:44 |
|---|
| fantum13 | NullName: any router should work decently, try getting an adaptor with an Aethros chipset, those are typically good | 02:44 |
|---|
| super61 | Varka: yea thats true. but games like us that like linux have to dual boot with windows. its a little frustating and sucks | 02:44 |
|---|
| dli | NullName, router have http admin interface, should be os independent | 02:45 |
|---|
| fantum13 | super61: I game and I haven't used windows in years | 02:45 |
|---|
| manad | if you're desperate for games on linux try emulation (SNES/N64/PS1/etc) | 02:45 |
|---|
| Varka | NullName, the router doesnt depend on what os you are using, you can concentrate on the adapter. i can give you a detailed hardwarelist, but its german if you dont mind | 02:45 |
|---|
| fantum13 | manad: there are plenty of FOSS games or just linux games | 02:45 |
|---|
| manad | some of the best games ever made were for old consoles...beats playing the latest WW2 shooter | 02:45 |
|---|
| uncommon | Varka but right now : I can say windows has better support in gaming bill really knows how tickle young people and those young at heart is it brainwashing? I know because I was... even most of the school was... | 02:45 |
|---|
| manad | fantum: how many are any good though? Tux Racer isn't really a game. I can only think of Battle of Wesnoth as a decent free OSS game | 02:46 |
|---|
| NullName | Varka: THanks, but I don't need the german list. Okak So I will focus on the adapter...I need to use usb...does that matter? | 02:46 |
|---|
| manad | and of course the Star Control 2 remake | 02:46 |
|---|
| fantum13 | manad: try vendetta online, a cross-platform MMORPG | 02:46 |
|---|
| Varka | super61, uncommon, its not windows that supports the games, its the games that support windows | 02:47 |
|---|
| fantum13 | manad: most games from ID software are on linux, as well as Neverwinter Nights and EVE online | 02:47 |

| cellofellow | And can Emerald use Metacity themes? | 02:51 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | spolvid, are you having a particular problem or do you not know where to start | 02:51 |

| Spzatt | well, people, explain once again how to locate my old C: drive | 02:52 |

| spolvid | I don't know where to start. | 02:52 |

| manad | when a programmer makes a GUI program for linux, does he have to make a separate version for each Window Manager (Gnome, KDE, XCFE)? Or do they all interpret the same libraries/code? | 02:52 |

| ianmcorvidae | manad: primarily, the same code | 02:52 |
|---|
| onats | uncommon, what do you mean don't hate for that? | 02:53 |
|---|
| dli | Spzatt, most likely, your ntfs partition need a fsck (scandisk) | 02:53 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | Spzatt, did you get my request? | 02:53 |
|---|
| ianmcorvidae | there are libraries, but they work in all of them; it means you can have a lighter system if you keep with programs specifically 'for' your wm, but you can use anything with the right libraries | 02:53 |
|---|
| AprilHare | well the Phillipines isn't the only country like that | 02:53 |
|---|
| cellofellow | manad: well, first pick your language. C/C++, Python, Mono. Then the GUI toolkit (GTK, wx, Qt, Tk). And then optionally desktop specific libs. But they still all run together its not like they are different systems. It'll be mostly cosmetic (GTK looks odd in KDE and vice versa.) | 02:53 |
|---|
| Spzatt | I didnt, im afraid | 02:54 |
|---|
| uncommon | onats : sorry it's ( don't hate me for that ) it's just nothing more than saying in my thoughts | 02:54 |
|---|
| Spzatt | please join #spzatt | 02:54 |
|---|
| manad | Oh, are people actually using Mono for Linux projects? | 02:54 |
|---|
| cellofellow | manad: Tomboy and Beagle come to mind. | 02:54 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | Spzatt, could pastebin the result of "sudo fdisk -l" | 02:54 |
|---|
| AprilHare | actually the worst place for lack of desktop diversity would be North Korea | 02:54 |
|---|
| Kalamansi | thanks Varka.i will read this | 02:55 |
|---|
| AprilHare | they're all Microsoft bound | 02:55 |

| jake_ | Hey, my sound decided to up and stop working today - I think after some updates. It still works fine in XP, though. No settings appear to have changed and I don't see anything that seems our of the ordinary. I'm using the onboard sound on an nforce 4 chipset. Any ideas? | 02:55 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | cellofellow: "can't afford" and "actually paying for it" are two different things :) | 02:55 |
|---|
| cellofellow | makes sense, but I thought Castro liked linux. | 02:56 |
|---|
| aolaus | has anyone ever had a nightmare where they deleted / ? | 02:56 |
|---|
| AprilHare | cellofellow, this is true - but NKorea is so insular that they haven't got on board out of fear for what might be in the source code | 02:56 |
|---|
| uncommon | super61 : if you found it in Add/Remove it means it's ok install now and then play.... but as for the roms.. you're on your own... | 02:56 |
|---|
| ctothej | cellofellow: that also goes for sound and any other drivers? | 02:56 |
|---|
| onats | uncommon, now why would someone hate you for coming from the philippines? | 02:56 |
|---|
| Niriven | Anyone have any favorite linux games? | 02:56 |
|---|
| super61 | uncommon: i didnt find one in Add/remove or the package i got it off the internet | 02:56 |
|---|
| cellofellow | ctothej: unless they are "userspace" drivers, they're in the kernel. | 02:56 |
|---|
| cellofellow | ctothej: a handful of Xorg drivers are in that category. | 02:56 |
|---|
| astro76 | super61, sdlmame? | 02:57 |
|---|
| AprilHare | uncommon, if you were in Iran for instance, we might look at you twice, but not the Phillipines. Phillipinos live in australia | 02:57 |

|---|
| ctothej | cellofellow: ahh ok. thanks | 02:57 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | AprilHare: apparently you'll be happy to know north korea, south korea, and china are joining together to create their own linux distro "hana linux" :) | 02:57 |
|---|
| astro76 | super61, this is the one you should be using http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?page_id=163 | 02:57 |
|---|
| uncommon | super61 : my recommendation is... look in Add/Remove if didn't find what you're lookin for second would be "Synaptic" .. internet would be just your "Last Resort"... | 02:57 |
|---|
| aolaus | I thought it was real, and I freaked | 02:57 |
|---|
| * cellofellow just uses aptitude | 02:57 |
| AprilHare | kitofhawaii, oooo evil linux (TM) :D | 02:57 |
|---|
| worthawholebean | My resolution is doing weird things... Every time I log in, I have to use aticonfig -f --initial --resolution=0,1440x900 to reconfigure xorg.conf and then kill x-session-manager. It will then go to 1152x768 and I have to change it in displayconfig-gtk to get it to 1440x900, my desired res. It then works fine, but I have to repeat that every time I reboot. I'm using a 20" Intel iMac with an ATI Radeon x1600. | 02:58 |
|---|
| aolaus | then somehow the dream transitioned to zombie apocalypse | 02:58 |
|---|
| super61 | uncommon: true... | 02:58 |

| astro76 | chronic1, so not at all | 02:58 |
|---|
| AprilHare | uncommon, hey feel grateful i can type at all :D | 02:58 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | spolvid, no i did not | 02:58 |
|---|
| spolvid | Ah. | 02:58 |
|---|
| cellofellow | worthawholebean: is this a new thing, or always? | 02:58 |
|---|
| uncommon | AprilHare : hehehehe greate community "linux"... | 02:58 |
|---|
| spolvid | I don't know where to start, I said. | 02:58 |
|---|
| worthawholebean | cellofellow, always | 02:58 |
|---|
| super61 | astro76: umm.. where can i download? | 02:59 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | spolvid, do you have a ppc or intel architecture mac | 02:59 |
|---|
| spolvid | intel. | 02:59 |
|---|
| ctothej | cellofellow: will I be able to compile userspace modules after compiling the kernel and then install them as modules without recompiling the kernel? | 02:59 |
|---|
| astro76 | super61, I linked it twice ^^ ;) | 02:59 |
|---|
| cellofellow | worthawholebean: ok, I was gonna suggest using the backup xorg.conf files (they worked for me.) | 02:59 |
|---|
| Sinpahltimus | Hi All | 02:59 |
|---|
| super61 | lol | 02:59 |
|---|
| spolvid | Running 10.4 | 02:59 |
|---|
| super61 | i know | 02:59 |
|---|
| cellofellow | ctothej: never heard of a userspace module. | 02:59 |
|---|
| AprilHare | the move to 10.5 has moved me to ubuntu | 02:59 |
|---|
| ctothej | cellofellow: so ill have to recompile the kernel... | 03:00 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | spolvid, in that case it's relatively simple | 03:00 |
|---|
| Sinpahltimus | Ubuntu 710 noob here with a srious problem that I can replicate on three completely diffferent computers of completely different hardware. Wondering is will to help? | 03:00 |
|---|
| cellofellow | ctothej: you don't necessarily have to compile the kernel to match a module, but you do have to compile modules to match the kernel (that's what the header packages are for.) | 03:00 |
|---|
| super61 | astro76: is the psx2 eumator geting there for linux? | 03:00 |
|---|
| AprilHare | Sinpahltimus, tell us your tale of woe | 03:00 |
|---|
| ctothej | cellofellow: right... ok | 03:00 |
|---|
| spolvid | Yes? | 03:01 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | spolvid, have you gone through http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=493393 | 03:01 |
|---|
| cellofellow | ctothej: did that answer your question? | 03:01 |
|---|
| infinitycircuit | Sinpahltimus, what is the problem? | 03:01 |
|---|
| spolvid | Ah, no I have not. Thanks. | 03:01 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | Sinpahltimus: yah what's breaking? | 03:01 |
|---|
| Sinpahltimus | web videos freeze my computers. youtube, myspace etc... web based vids all freeze my systems running U7.10 | 03:01 |
|---|
| ctothej | cellofellow: yes thanks | 03:01 |
|---|
| hudyx | hello | 03:02 |
|---|
| AprilHare | what version of flash are you running Sinpahltimus | 03:02 |
|---|
| astro76 | super61, dunno | 03:02 |
|---|
| cellofellow | Sinpahltimus: just Flash, or all videos in the browser (like Quicktime stuff)? | 03:02 |
|---|
| uncommon | <super61> : there is pcx2 for linux.. but never tried it though... | 03:02 |
|---|
| super61 | astro76: ok | 03:02 |
|---|
| some_idiot | sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree complains about a not-matching md5sum ... anyone else have this problem? | 03:02 |
|---|
| ctothej | cellofellow: i just wanted to know if I could basically download the fuse-source, compile just that package into .deb and then install | 03:02 |
|---|
| super61 | uncommon: i guess thats where i come in :) if i get it working il let you know | 03:02 |
|---|
| Sinpahltimus | Well, I have tried two different things. i don't know the version. I installed it once from the synoptics PM and twice via the pop up in mozilla. | 03:02 |
|---|
| lookup | hey all | 03:02 |
|---|
| cellofellow | ctothej: sure, as long as you've got the right headers for the kernel you'll be using. | 03:03 |
|---|
| lookup | im having trouble getting my ipod classic to work with amarok | 03:03 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | some_idiot: there's an active confirmed bug report out right now. the repo's are having a problem (adobe just released a new flash player) | 03:03 |
|---|
| Sinpahltimus | It seems the adobe flash player is not enough. After installing it, FF says I still need a plug in, so I have to install gnash also. | 03:03 |
|---|
| AprilHare | some_idiot, i discussed my issue in here earlier | 03:03 |
|---|
| ctothej | cellofellow: that I do, as I am compiling it as we speak | 03:03 |
|---|
| cellofellow | Sinpahltimus: that ain't right. | 03:03 |
|---|
| uncommon | <super61> : great.... let me know then so i could try it my box... | 03:03 |
|---|
| some_idiot | AprilHare: is it loged anywhere? | 03:03 |
|---|
| AprilHare | some_idiot, so everyone :) | 03:03 |
|---|
| Flannel | Sinpahltimus: don't install through firefox | 03:03 |
|---|
| AprilHare | erm | 03:03 |
|---|
| AprilHare | errrm | 03:03 |
|---|
| uncommon | hahahahahahahaha | 03:03 |
|---|
| AprilHare | not here | 03:03 |
|---|
| Sinpahltimus | The I restart FF again and I don't get the plug needed notification but after several seconds FF Freezes then the entire computer freezes | 03:03 |
|---|
| super61 | uncommon: box as in xbox? | 03:04 |
|---|
| cellofellow | Sinpahltimus: the Adobe player is proprietary, buggy (but up to date). Gnash is FOSS, quality, but still Flash 7 compatible. | 03:04 |
|---|
| uncommon | super61 : nope : box as in my linux box | 03:04 |
|---|
| cellofellow | Sinpahltimus: and you can only use one Flash plugin at a time. | 03:04 |
|---|
| neko | hey someone use vlc mozilla plugins for playing stage6 video ? | 03:04 |
|---|
| super61 | uncommon: oh | 03:05 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | Sinpahltimus: where's the symbolic link "flashplugin-alternative.so" linked to? under /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 03:05 |
|---|
| === narg_ is now known as narg |
| some_idiot | okay, so what is the current best fix for this? | 03:05 |
|---|
| some_idiot | (flash nonfree not wokring that is) | 03:05 |
|---|
| Sinpahltimus | on two machines I tried via FF the thrd machine I installed the flash non-free via ubuntu package manager, mozilla still reported a missing plug in. Gnash seemed to clear that but the freeezes start. | 03:05 |
|---|
| Sinpahltimus | I'm at a disadvantage because I do not have access to those computers right now. | 03:06 |
|---|
| uncommon | <neko> : it's ok to use vlc plugin though i would recommend you to use MPlayer and the mplayer plugins for mozilla as it is much better in terms of streaming... because it's not streamed in buffers it also copies the file physically in your desk | 03:06 |
|---|
| cellofellow | Sinpahltimus: remove the adobe player (flashplugin-nonfree) and just use Gnash, and see if that helps. | 03:06 |
|---|
| neko | ah well | 03:06 |
|---|
| shadowblade | Ok, I was here a couple of days ago and earlier today (the person who was helping me today left)...I had to remove cupsys because it gave me an error when I tried to install anything else....now I need to get cupsys installed and working again - I need to get my printer set up | 03:06 |
|---|
| neko | i will switch back to mplayer | 03:06 |
|---|
| Sinpahltimus | cellofellow - I will try that. | 03:06 |
|---|
| neko | but i have problem with mplayer not having codecs | 03:06 |
|---|
| neko | that is strange | 03:06 |
|---|
| cellofellow | neko: I like mplayer better as a browser plugin, and it will use any codec you throw at it. | 03:07 |
|---|
| neko | not on mine because of some strange problem | 03:07 |
|---|
| cellofellow | I normally have VLC and MPlayer both. | 03:07 |
|---|
| neko | but i have found a fix | 03:07 |
|---|
| cellofellow | But only mozilla mplayer plugin. | 03:07 |
|---|
| uncommon | neko : you can't have both plugins for vlc/totem/mplayer installed because only one of them will work and the others will just confilicts the others like if you have vlc and totem plugins installed only totem play be used so if you want to use MPlayer's plugins remove the other except mplayer | 03:07 |
|---|
| AprilHare | this is probably a "are we there yet?" sort of question however: when will firefox 3 be released? | 03:08 |
|---|
| neko | yep i know this | 03:08 |
|---|
| gibham | Can some one help me get a logitech rumble pad to work on the SNES emulators? When I use SNES9express and try to configure map buttons it says no such file or directory. | 03:08 |
|---|
| neko | i was using mplayer plugins before | 03:08 |
|---|
| * NineTeen67Comet I'm still looking for the codec I can throw at mplayer/movie player/xine or vlc that will play some of my new DVD movies I got (Hairspray to name one)... I did ubuntu-restricted-extras with no avail .. | 03:08 |
| cellofellow | AprilHare: probably in time for Hardy. | 03:08 |
|---|
| AprilHare | sweet | 03:08 |
|---|
| AprilHare | cellofellow, when's that? :) | 03:08 |
|---|
| neko | my problem with mplayer is way more strange | 03:08 |
|---|
| AprilHare | heh | 03:08 |
|---|
| Sinpahltimus | brb - on phone with soeone who has access to one of the computers, gonna have him uninstall the flash and try again. | 03:08 |
|---|
| cellofellow | AprilHare: next release of Ubuntu. | 03:08 |
|---|
| neko | as it don't found codecs folder or something like this | 03:08 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | AprilHare:aprilhare: "estimated early 2008" | 03:09 |
|---|
| uncommon | <AprilHare> : i second that ... but i'm also excited for webkit based webbrowser for linux it's good to have a lot freedom of choice... | 03:09 |
|---|
| NineTeen67Comet | grin .. I'm installing Alpha 1 right now (server edition) .. | 03:09 |
|---|
| neko | when i try playing some common divx files | 03:09 |
|---|
| cellofellow | neko: you try Medibuntu? You can get w32codecs and libdvdcss there. | 03:09 |
|---|
| shadowblade | Anyone? | 03:09 |
|---|
| cellofellow | !medibuntu | neko | 03:09 |
|---|
| ubotu | neko: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 03:09 |
|---|
| Sinpahltimus | brb gotta run for a but | 03:09 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | AprilHare: aka...wikipedia is your friend for future releases :) let someone else keep an eye on when things are coming out :) | 03:09 |
|---|
| uncommon | <neko> : when i mean removed the other i mean the plugins only not the player VLC/Totem/MPlayer are good players so keep them in your box... | 03:10 |
|---|
| AprilHare | kitofhawaii, i thought that encyclopaedia had more uses than just for looking up star trek info :) | 03:10 |
|---|
| cellofellow | shadowblade: what's your issue. Sorry I missed it. | 03:10 |
|---|
| neko | oh wait | 03:10 |
|---|
| kitofhawaii | AprilHare: with as much contention there is for "being first with the latest news" i find it's fairly reliable :) | 03:10 |
|---|
| frost0 | if i am given a generic package for linux...how would i compile and install it? | 03:10 |
|---|
| neko | is the w32codecs was remove recently from the main repository ? | 03:11 |
|---|
| uncommon | frost0 : you have to have all the development libs and tools installed.... | 03:11 |
|---|
| astro76 | neko, was never there, it's available in medibuntu | 03:11 |
|---|
| cellofellow | neko: if you mean recently by at the dapper release, yes. | 03:11 |
|---|
| astro76 | neko, ah | 03:11 |
|---|
