Either it is not in an edgy repository, or my Synaptic is not configured fully.

[01:58] osubucks: boot from the hard disk and follow the procedure above.

My recommendation: buy from a shop that'll give you an exchange if it doesn't work. Try until you find one that works out of the box. [02:00] maybe i should just use windows, im not very good at following directions to do something, i usually just figure things out by trial and error.. === al3xanr0 [n=al3xanr0@cpe-72-184-241-37.tampabay.res.rr.com] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [02:00] what patches are needed for the vanilla 2.6.18 kernel to work in ubuntu? [02:00] felixjet: the howto for mythtv on dapper was pretty good. I think to test, you did something like mplayer /dev/video0 I'll look for the url [02:00] jerp: So your problem is that you are unable to access data from a DVD via your CD/DVD combo drive.

[05:43] Hooked-on-GL: Hmm odd, do you want to try to communicate through msn or maybe aim?

I have my own python script already written to handle the sequential backups (I'm keeping the 3 most recent) ... I just don't know where the setting specifically controlling the usb automounting are. [05:45] worldjam, you can do just about anything, however even setting up wine is 64 bit is a lesson in frustration, using it is next to impossible [05:45] talk about DRM and proprietary software being restrictive: I'm switching back to windows cause ubuntu doesn't have much support for my MTP music device. I should have been smarter and got a UMS player, and I regret that decision now. I will however watch Gnomad 2 and Amarok's changelogs and switch back the instant they've implemented Windows Media Player-like syncronization features to my MTP device (or when I get a new UMS player). [05:45] Sorry guys it's been great and I've learned a lot more about computers than if I had continued my life on Windows, but Music is a big deal to me and I need easy tranfer and managment. === kitche [n=dragon@pool-70-18-117-29.buff.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu [05:45] seamus7, run azureus in a command line and google the errors, or download the azureus from azureus.sf.net and replace the current azureus.jar you have with theirs === xenos76 [n=tom@c-67-160-63-20.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] has left #ubuntu [] === necrodrako [n=necrodra@ppp-69-218-215-213.dsl.wotnoh.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu [05:45] nothlit: ok i'll try that thx === xenos76 [n=tom@c-67-160-63-20.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [05:46] whats a good iso creator and burner for ubuntu? === j_ack_ [n=rudi@p508D98B7.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu [05:46] necrodrako, k3b [05:46] When I try to play avi files in gmplayer. === wolv3rin3 [n=chatzill@59.184.35.17] has left #ubuntu ["User] [05:46] It says.
