[09:49] <ajayc> LOL
[09:49] <ajayc> oh sorry
[09:50] <ajayc> Everyone is welcome to #ubuntu-cafe
[05:26] <Zububwa> can someone walk me through setting up a static ip address through my linksys wusb54g wireless router
[05:29] <jrib> try #ubuntu, more eyes there
[11:35] <jo3> hi
[11:35] <tonyyarusso> Hi jo3 .  Pretty quiet in here atm.
[11:36] <jo3> :)
[11:36] <jo3> too bad, iam learning linux, iam free, now i must learn
[11:37] <jo3> how can i decompress .rar
[11:37] <tonyyarusso> !rar
[11:37] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[11:37] <tonyyarusso> If you're new to our IRC world,
[11:37] <tonyyarusso> !bot
[11:37] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[11:37] <jo3> ;)
[11:37] <tonyyarusso> ^^ one of the greatest things ever
[11:37] <jo3> yes
[11:37] <jo3> !ati
[11:37] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:38] <tonyyarusso> To be used with care though, as we don't have factoids for _everything_ (close)
[11:38] <tonyyarusso> !fishing
[11:38] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops... ;-)
[11:39] <jo3> hehe
[11:39] <tonyyarusso> In other words, we often use the bot in channels to answer someone's question, but once you know about the bot and think it will answer yours, /msg is plenty
[11:40] <nalioth> you'll probably find a lot more help in #ubuntu or at help.ubuntu.com
[11:40] <nalioth> the bot can be hit or miss
[11:40] <jo3> i've installed os, what you advice me to do next?
[11:40] <jo3> use computer? hehe
[11:41] <tonyyarusso> Basically
[11:41] <tonyyarusso> There's a good "getting started / common questions" page at the site just mentioned that's worth a read.
[11:48] <jo3> ntfs read and write in ubuntu dapper? it works ok?
[11:49] <tonyyarusso> I have no idea.
[11:49] <tonyyarusso> People have been saying it works better and better all the time, but I a) Don't trust it, and b) Don't have any need for it.
[11:49] <jrib> ditto
[11:49] <jo3> :)
[11:49] <tonyyarusso> We usually tell people it can be done, but be very very careful
[11:50] <jrib> don't worry jo3, in a few weeks time you will be making more space for ubuntu by getting rid of windows
[11:50] <nalioth> jo3: i suggest you use Windows(tm) to read and write to your ntfs stuff
[11:50] <jo3> ya
[11:50] <jo3> yes
[11:50] <nalioth> jo3: if you can, reinstall win2k/xp on a fat32 partition and you won't have any trouble
[11:50] <jo3> i must backup everything and format in fat32 yes
[11:50] <nalioth> i suggest not having windows at all, but that is my personal opinion
[11:51] <jo3> fat32 is linux system right?
[11:51] <tonyyarusso> No
[11:51] <jo3> i want windows no more
[11:51] <tonyyarusso> Was Windows pre-what, NT?  But both Linux and Windows can use fat fine
[11:51] <tonyyarusso> No file permissions on it though
[11:51] <jo3> you know any linux for artists comunity, anything?
[11:52] <tonyyarusso> I kept Windows for about a year myself, but hardly ever used it after about three months, then wiped it.
[11:52] <tonyyarusso> Well, there's the Ubuntu Artwork team if you want to help develop art.
[11:52] <tonyyarusso> Not sure about just users.  Probably somewhere.
[11:52] <jo3> ill just pass to linux everything i do in windows, then it will diparear also
[11:53] <jo3> i window got stuck, how can i force to close it?
[11:54] <tonyyarusso> Come again?
[11:54] <jo3> my add remove windows wont close
[11:55] <tonyyarusso> oh.  Not sure what the process name is, but sometimes clicking again will give you a "Force Quit" option, and there's always the 'kill' command.  gnome-system-monitor as well can help.
[11:57] <jrib> and xkill
[11:57] <jo3> done
[11:57] <jo3> root@ubuntu:~# glxinfo |grep direct
[11:57] <jo3> Error: unable to open display (null)
[11:58] <jrib> what card do you have?
[11:58] <jo3> must fix this right? i want to do some 3d in blender, must get this to work
[11:58] <jo3> radeon 9200
[11:58] <jrib> !ati
[11:58] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:58] <jo3> cant get drivers?
[11:58] <jo3> aim checking it
[11:59] <jo3> Note that if you own an ATi card from the R400 series or below, you already have working 2D and may have accelerated 3D with the default drivers. These cards include:
[11:59] <jo3>     *
[11:59] <jo3>       R400 series Xnnn (X800, X750, etc) (2D only)
[11:59] <jo3>     *
[11:59] <jo3>       R300 series (9300+) (3D works nowadays)
[11:59] <jo3>     *
[11:59] <jo3>       R200 and R100 series (9200 and below)
