|---|
| scrambledegg | vix: so other java stuff like azureus work ? | 00:36 |

| ubotu | Darkmystere: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 00:36 |
|---|
| tehdave | LjL: I meant between the nonfree plugin or the Gnash SWF player, etc. | 00:37 |
|---|
| LjL | !xconfig > wil (wil, see the private message from Ubotu) perhaps this is what you're thinking about | 00:37 |
|---|
| echosystm | can anyone tell me what distros have kde4? | 00:37 |
|---|
| LjL | tehdave: err, yeah indeed, the nonfree plugin is "Flash". others are "Gnash" and "SWF Player". | 00:37 |
|---|
| Darkmystere | LjL, i just messaged you because i thought it was kinda offtopic.. | 00:37 |
|---|
| LjL | tehdave: so, my answer is the nonfree plugin anyway | 00:37 |
|---|
| vix | scrambledegg, yes azureus works. and also netbeans | 00:37 |
|---|
| vix | jrib, okay thank you.. i will try it. | 00:37 |
|---|
| Darkmystere | Ok should i burn Bactrack to a CD or DVD because it says the file is 701MB and my CD;s only hold 700MB.. | 00:38 |
|---|
| LjL | Darkmystere: then ask in -offtopic... i haven't the slightest idea to tell the trust. it might fit. i don't know, i burn a CD a year or so | 00:38 |
|---|
| Darkmystere | i did they havent answerd.. | 00:38 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | vix: do you have this symlink in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins: /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so | 00:38 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | I have a question for everyone. Is there a "killer app" that Ubuntu or linux has that no other OS has? | 00:38 |
|---|
| tehdave | Alright...let's fix the question: Of the available SWF plugins, which is the most stable/best quality? | 00:38 |
|---|
| LjL | tehdave: flash. i.e. flashplugin-nonfree. | 00:39 |
|---|
| tehdave | thanks | 00:39 |
|---|
| echosystm | no pocketdrummer. most good linux apps have been ported to windows | 00:39 |
|---|
| crusie | LjL what will I gain (or loose) by running the noapi command_ | 00:39 |
|---|
| echosystm | eg. open office, gimp, etc. | 00:39 |
|---|
| Green | ljl is there any other program for linux to overwriting with pseudorandom data, Peter Gutmann's, etc. OR works best for NTFS ?? | 00:39 |
|---|
| Lr5_ | pocketdrummer: Even if there was, you could probably use it on cygwin anyway | 00:39 |
|---|
| yellowdog | ciao a tutti | 00:39 |
|---|
| InspectorCluseau | pocketdrummer, it's what Ubuntu and Linux DOESN"T have....trojans...viruses....etc | 00:39 |
|---|
| Green | ljl like those options | 00:39 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | vix: and the name was libjavaplugin.so :) ? | 00:39 |
|---|
| brain2 | I've seen 2 linux viruses | 00:40 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | vix: maybe its lib64 for you | 00:40 |
|---|
| vix | scrambledegg, not now, i had it before but it was buggy. | 00:40 |
|---|
| brain2 | RST.B and OSF | 00:40 |
|---|
| LjL | crusie: you know what, i never really quite understood that, i'll have to admit. especially, i've never quite understood what (if anything) you will lose with the "noapic" option, which is another that you should try | 00:40 |
|---|
| crusie | "another" ? | 00:40 |
|---|
| echosystm | pocketdrummer: the reason you use linux is because you are a tinkering geek, you want awesome security, or you are running a server - windows cant really compete here | 00:40 |
|---|
| vix | scrambledegg, it was libjavaplugin.so for me yes. | 00:40 |
|---|
| LjL | Green, all programs will work equally well or equally badly as far as NTFS goes. it depends on how the filesystem works, and i haven't really a clue | 00:40 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | vix: you're using gcj ? | 00:40 |
|---|
| crusie | LjL wasn't that the one you wanted me to use? | 00:40 |
|---|
| LjL | crusie: no. i suggested "noacpi" and "acpi=off". now i'm suggesting "noapic" | 00:41 |
|---|
| danand__ | I hate my isp x( | 00:41 |
|---|
| vix | scrambledegg, i guess no, i dont know what it is | 00:41 |
|---|
| brain2 | So I rebooted today and now my ctrl keys don't work.. Am I the only one? I probably am.. gah | 00:41 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Well, I guess to answer my own question, maybe Synaptic and the repository system is the killer app for linux? I can't think of another OS that has it. | 00:41 |
|---|
| Lr5_ | LjL: How about "irqpoll"? No idea what you are talking about, though | 00:41 |
|---|
| echosystm | macosx has something similar pocketdrummer | 00:41 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | vix: its a GNU implementation of java, and its very buggy with applets | 00:41 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | really? What's it called in OS X? | 00:41 |
|---|
| echosystm | the only reason linux has synaptic is because it is a pain in the ass to install anything without it | 00:42 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | vix: try issuing: update-alternatives --config java | 00:42 |
|---|
| jscinoz | apt-get equiv in osx is ports | 00:42 |
|---|
| echosystm | in windows, you can just get an exe and install it | 00:42 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | echosystm: That's true. | 00:42 |
|---|
| ethan961 | aptitude! | 00:42 |

| rdoursenaud | I have a strange problem with gnome-panel. I can't move or reorganize my panels. Right click menu only shows "Help" and "About". This probem only appears on my amd64 desktop. Searched the web and found nothing relevant. Can someone help? | 00:42 |
|---|
| echosystm | in linux, there are millions of dependencies and packages | 00:42 |
|---|
| jscinoz | they do sudo port install proggy | 00:42 |
|---|
| aquo | pocketdrummer: same mechanism is available for windows too | 00:42 |
|---|
| echosystm | youd have to be insane to download them all manually | 00:42 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | there's a repository system for windows too? Wow, where have I been? lol | 00:43 |
|---|
| Green | ljl Can i use eraser the http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/download.php | 00:43 |
|---|

|---|
| aquo | pocketdrummer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_management_system#Windows | 00:43 |
|---|
| vix | scrambledegg, okay, now i can choose java version.. which one should i use? | 00:43 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | vix: trye choosing sun java | 00:44 |
|---|
| aquo | pocketdrummer: i never have tested those, but i know windows-admins who use some of them (and also commercial ones) | 00:44 |
|---|
| danand__ | echosystm - I remember hours of trying to resolve dependancy issues using rpm package manager on Redhat 6 .... | 00:44 |
|---|
| soldats | sunjava6 | 00:44 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | vix: you got the package sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin right ? | 00:44 |
|---|
| jrib | scrambledegg: the plugin does not exist on 64bit | 00:44 |
|---|
| Jangari | does anyone know how to install the mp3 libraries for sox? | 00:44 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | jrib: really ? | 00:45 |
|---|
| vix | scrambledegg, yes i have them installed. | 00:45 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | i am trying to set my /home folder back to where it was ... the folder exists (located in /home/tma) but when i type "cd ~/home" in terminal it says "cannot find /home/tma/home" | 00:45 |
|---|
| LjL | Lr5_, crusie: i'd say to put them in order from least crippling to most, "noapic", "noacpi", "acpi=off", "irqpoll". noapic just means that the "advanced programmable interrupt controller" that's on newer computers won't be used, shouldn't be a big deal. "noacpi" and "acpi=off" mean that (part of?) ACPI won't be used, i assume that might impact power saving and such things, and i don't know what the difference is between the two. "irqpoll" means that some | 00:45 |
|---|
| LjL | relatively expensive checks are done on interrupts. i don't really know very precisely at all, i just know they're common options used to troubleshoot boot problems | 00:45 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | jrib: not so sure about that | 00:45 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | vix: ok then just try to update the alternatives and see if that works out | 00:45 |
|---|
| LjL | Green: seems like clearly a windows program to me | 00:45 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | *-s | 00:45 |
|---|
| robdig | MrPiracy: thats probably because ~ = /home/tma | 00:45 |
|---|
| Jangari | try cd ~, MrPiracy | 00:46 |
|---|
| jrib | scrambledegg: umm, ok? | 00:46 |
|---|
| jrib | scrambledegg: check packages.ubuntu.com if you wish | 00:46 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | jrib: he says he has the packages installed | 00:46 |
|---|
| vix | scrambledegg, did u got my PM ? | 00:46 |
|---|
| Green | ljl is there any other programs works best or just as good as shred for ntfs>? | 00:46 |
|---|
| |david| | hello | 00:46 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | Jangari: ops, my bad ok | 00:46 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | vix: dont think so | 00:46 |
|---|
| jrib | scrambledegg: then he is not using 64bit | 00:47 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | anyone could tell me a command line to empty recycle bin? | 00:47 |
|---|
| nickrud | My desktop would be complete with a 64bit java plugin (not) | 00:47 |
|---|
| vix | jrib, what are you talking about ? | 00:47 |
|---|
| spudgunner | In gnome, how many different places are there to set programs to run on login? I've removed my compiz-fusion from System->Prefs->Sessions, but I can't seem to make it go away. | 00:47 |
|---|
| LjL | Green, i already answered best i could | 00:47 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | jrib: sun-java6-bin is for amd64 i386 | 00:48 |
|---|
| jrib | scrambledegg: *plugin* | 00:48 |
|---|
| spudgunner | MrPiracy: I usually delete the contents of the various .Trash-* directories at the root of the mount point | 00:48 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | jrib: ya okay then but firefox usually works with 32bit bindings | 00:48 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | jrib: i mean shared libraries | 00:49 |
|---|
| jrib | scrambledegg: not by magic though :) | 00:49 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | spudgunner: there's an error with my recycle bin, it won't complete emptying | 00:49 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | jrib: no by automaticz0r | 00:49 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | spudgunner: where's the location of the main trash bin? | 00:49 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | jrib: or maybe not :) | 00:49 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | jrib: nspluginwrapper is currently broken i think | 00:49 |
|---|
| vix | still it doesnt work really with java in FF. | 00:50 |
|---|
| jrib | scrambledegg: :) I just wanted to make sure you understood the plugin package is not available on 64 bit so the you have to follow the !flash64 instructions. I had to go through this | 00:50 |
|---|
| vix | when i test an applet its a red cross in the upper corner. | 00:50 |
|---|
| spudgunner | MrPiracy: try "rm -Rf /.Trash-USERNAME/*" | 00:50 |
|---|
| danand__ | what?? - apparently I just signed off! | 00:50 |
|---|
| crusie | LjL I tried doing as you said - still no avail | 00:50 |

| vix | jrib, one question, I need to install 32bit firefox ? | 00:51 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | spudgunner: it says no such file or directory | 00:51 |
|---|
| Scunizi | spudgunner, MrPiracy you may have to add sudo to the beginning of that line. | 00:51 |
|---|
| spudgunner | MrPiracy: sorry, its "rm -Rf /home/USERNAME/.Trash/*" | 00:52 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | vix: 32bit ff worked flawlessly for me | 00:52 |
|---|
| oreomike | MrPiracy: if you use 7.10 like me, your trash should be in ~/.Trash/ | 00:52 |

| dr-raku | jw144000: if you are in windows right now, you can use disk management or fdisk to erase the partitions on the external drive and create other partitions (then format them) | 00:57 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | jw144000: is your external hd partitioned? any fat/ntfs partition in it? | 00:57 |
|---|
| |david| | jw144000: you have to format it to fat32 or ntfs | 00:57 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | jw144000: i wouldnt go for ntfs | 00:58 |
|---|
| nickrud | spudgunner: create the file ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig/disable , that will stop compiz | 00:58 |

| dr-raku | jw144000, then go to disk management | 00:59 |
|---|
| mjw- | jw144000 "Disk Management" in "computer management" should be able to see the drive, and you can reformat it from there | 00:59 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | jw144000: if you don't have partitions windows can read (f.e.: fat, fat32, ntfs), windows will always tell you there's no partitions in that drive | 00:59 |

| cy__ | hello | 01:01 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | so gosh darn it | 01:01 |
|---|
| Phildo | not cool | 01:01 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | anyone know what to do in this situation? | 01:01 |
|---|
| Draicone | su doesn't seem to be working for me -- I know my root password, and I can sudo -i, I just can't su | 01:01 |
|---|
| Draicone | Any ideas? | 01:02 |
|---|
| nickrud | xSnOoPyx: you will need to reinstall, it would take days to repair that | 01:02 |
|---|
| Phildo | Draicone: theyre not the same thing | 01:02 |
|---|
| nickrud | xSnOoPyx: of hunting down the right permissions, etc | 01:02 |
|---|
| Draicone | Phildo: Err... what does su do? | 01:02 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | oh gotcha. | 01:02 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | but uh | 01:02 |
|---|
| Phildo | Draicone: actually changes your user to the real 'root' | 01:02 |
|---|
| mjw- | !sudo | Draicone | 01:02 |
|---|
| ubotu | Draicone: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 01:02 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | what about all my settings and files? | 01:02 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | Draicone: su asks for the root password, which ubuntu doesnt have by default | 01:02 |
|---|
| nickrud | xSnOoPyx: do you have a separate home partition? | 01:02 |
|---|
| |david| | Draicone: it switches your user to another in the terminal | 01:02 |
|---|
| Phildo | Draicone: whereas sudo keeps your user, but gives you root permissions. | 01:02 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | what do you mean? | 01:02 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | yes | 01:02 |
|---|
| Phildo | Draicone: thus 'sudo' root : | 01:03 |
|---|
| Phildo | :> | 01:03 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | "/home" if thats what you mean | 01:03 |
|---|
| |david| | use su like this- su USERNAME | 01:03 |
|---|
| nickrud | xSnOoPyx: then when you reinstall, tell the installer not to format your home partition and all your settings (except for the stuff in etc) will be kept | 01:03 |
|---|
| LadyNikon | anyone run though this yet? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75978&highlight=bluetooth+headset | 01:03 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | gotrcha | 01:03 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | and where does it come to that | 01:03 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | ? | 01:03 |
|---|
| Draicone | scrambledegg: I'm pretty sure I set the root password manually at one point | 01:03 |
|---|
| nickrud | xSnOoPyx: during the partitioning phase | 01:03 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | ah | 01:03 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | okay im on step 7 | 01:03 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | sorry | 01:04 |
|---|
| |david| | that will switch the user to your user as ROOT priviledges, and it'll work | 01:04 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | step 4 | 01:04 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | i choose manual partitioning? | 01:04 |
|---|
| Draicone | Phildo: So what password is sudo -i asking me for? | 01:04 |
|---|
| nickrud | xSnOoPyx: yes | 01:04 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | Draicone: set it again :) sudo passwd root | 01:04 |
|---|
| jw144000 | dr-raku: I'm in Disk Management, but Windows still isn't recognizing the drive; I don't see the drive letter. | 01:04 |
|---|
| Phildo | Draicone: your user password. | 01:04 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | right | 01:04 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | Draicone: but i dont recommend it | 01:04 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | and now, how do i specify | 01:04 |
|---|
| nickrud | xSnOoPyx: I don't do a lot of installs, so I can't really walk you through the exact commands | 01:04 |
|---|
| Phildo | Draicone: as your user has been allowed (in /etc/sudoers) to use sudo root. | 01:04 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | oh | 01:04 |
|---|
| nickrud | xSnOoPyx: plus, I use the alternate install when I do :) | 01:05 |
|---|
| mjw- | jw144000 Windows should still be able to see the disk, even if it's in an unrecognized format. | 01:05 |
|---|
| Phildo | Draicone: all that auth is for, is to make sure you are authorised as that user. (and someone hasnt stolen your term etc) | 01:05 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | partition is ext3 right ? | 01:05 |
|---|
| jarred | you can do sudo su if you want to become root in terminal without having to keep typing sudo | 01:05 |
|---|
| m0u5e | anyone know what the gtk2 dev files are called? | 01:05 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | thats what type it is ? | 01:05 |
|---|
| jarred | prolly like gtk2-devel | 01:05 |
|---|
| jarred | or gtk-dev | 01:05 |
|---|
| jarred | ot somtething | 01:05 |
|---|
| gtt | jarred: i think "su -" will also work instead. | 01:05 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | sudo -s or sudo -i :) | 01:05 |
|---|
| jw144000 | mjw: I see it now. So where do I go from here? | 01:05 |
|---|
| LjL | gtt: uh? no, it won't, as there is no valid root password | 01:06 |
|---|
| Phildo | just use sudo -s | 01:06 |
|---|
| bad_cables | anyone use muddleftp >? | 01:06 |
|---|
| Phildo | :> | 01:06 |
|---|
| mjw- | jw144000 try right clicking it or something, should give you a format option. | 01:06 |
|---|
| LjL | !rootshell | 01:06 |
|---|
| ubotu | Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 01:06 |
|---|
| === ALLCAPS is now known as andril |
| gtt | ah.. | 01:06 |
|---|
| nickrud | sudo -i , be a real root | 01:06 |

|---|
| bad_cables | i set the password tons of times with mudpass | 01:06 |
|---|
| Draicone | Ah, got it. Thanks Phildo, scrambledegg, |david| | 01:06 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | nickrud, is that right ? | 01:06 |
|---|
| nickrud | xSnOoPyx: yes | 01:06 |

| MrKeuner | hi, I am having lockups on my thinkpad r52 1849-4wu laptop. It should not be related to video card(ATI Card) driver since I freeze occurs both when on fglrx and on free software driver. It should not be related to wireless driver because it freezes when it is hard connected, too. After freeze I booted with an Ubuntu live CD and tarred the /var/log folder. But inspecting the logs I could not see anything interesting. Can Anybody help me/assist me tr | 01:07 |

| MrKeuner | acking this problem, please? | 01:07 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | what's the path to the file where system folders are located (Desktop, downloads, music, ...)? | 01:07 |
|---|
| nickrud | xSnOoPyx: that is, if you mean ext3. Do not do anything to the partition that /home is on, except identify it as /home | 01:07 |
|---|
| mjw- | MrPiracy /home/$USERNAME ... aka "~" | 01:07 |
|---|
| LadyNikon | bah | 01:07 |
|---|
| rdoursenaud | ok forget my previous question, it was locked. unlocked it in gconf-editor | 01:08 |
|---|
| jarred | is there any way of converting ntfs to ext3 without loosing dat | 01:08 |
|---|
| nickrud | jarred: no | 01:08 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | mjw-: no, I want the configuration file ubuntu uses to get these paths | 01:08 |
|---|
| scrambledegg | has anyone tried out the new version of truecrypt ? | 01:08 |

|---|
| hentaixp | jarred, I suggest wikipedia | 01:09 |
|---|
| mjw- | MrPiracy beats me, not sure if that's configurable with a simple file or not. | 01:09 |

| jarred | howcome when i delete files on my ntfs drive using nautilus they donot free up space | 01:11 |
|---|
| nickrud | hentaixp: did I type 2? doh. (me claims aged brain thinking old days, sometimes forgetting when 1.2m was max | 01:11 |
|---|
| jarred | and they only actulley delete when i do rm-rf | 01:11 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | It just says "No root file system is defined" | 01:11 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | mjw-: i think it is, i saw it today ... i was having another problem and someone asked me the contents of this file | 01:11 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | mjw-: but i cant remember where it was | 01:11 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | anybody else know how to do this | 01:11 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | hentaixp, you can set up a user ith no password.. and i imagine that will cause all sorts of other issues. You can set up X to auto login a specific user. | 01:11 |
|---|
| nickrud | jarred: look for a .Trash dir on the ntfs partition | 01:11 |
|---|
| jarred | ok | 01:11 |
|---|
| nickrud | xSnOoPyx: then you haven't set up a root partition, the one that goes on / . | 01:12 |
|---|
| hentaixp | jarred, suggest you share a ext3 dir with linux and windows instead | 01:12 |
|---|
| nickrud | xSnOoPyx: and be sure that it's not the same as /home | 01:12 |
|---|
| mjw- | MrPiracy check the link ubotu directed you to...that may be able to help | 01:12 |
|---|
| hentaixp | Dr_willis, I said a user not root account | 01:12 |

|---|
| bad_cables | muddleftp... i need help creating a user because this really sucks | 01:13 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | hentaixp, you can set up/make/disable the password on a user account. | 01:13 |
|---|
| hentaixp | ah ok | 01:13 |
|---|
| bad_cables | i wouldnt be in here begging for help if there were any documentation on this one... | 01:13 |
|---|
| nickrud | jarred: tar bcf home-backup.tar.bz2 /home . Make sure you are doing that in a directory that is not in home and has a lot of space. Or, install sbackup | 01:14 |

| MrPiracy | mjw-: it doesnt mention this file, i want to change the location of default download folder | 01:14 |

| benny269 | hi does anyone know how to get out of an infinite loop in octave? | 01:15 |
|---|
| MrPiracy | nickrud: what does this command do? packs the hole /home folder into a tar file? | 01:15 |
|---|
| xSnOoPyx | hmm, have you seen this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620016&highlight=reset+permissions that might work | 01:15 |

|---|
| nickrud | MrPiracy: tar stands for tape archive , made just for this purpose ;) | 01:16 |

| ag0g0girl | cool thank nickrud | 01:19 |

| hon | benny269: do you use the features provided by koctave? I recommend using a text editor like emacs or vim with octave in terminal (or in emacs). That keeps things a lot leaner and more reliable. That's how most people I know use octave. | 01:29 |

| Pelo | winnerrlz93, did you copy the .iso file to the cd or did you burn an image ? .iso is a special format, it's a cd image , to make perfect copies of a cd, it is not a file you burn to a cd | 02:19 |

| macogw | fez: yeah. the alternate cd is a text-based installer. my system was very slow, but still a bit faster than windows when i did it. xubuntu uses xfce which is like gnome but a bit lighter weight, so you might wanna get the altenrate xubuntu cd and install that | 02:27 |

| WorkingOnWise | is there any way to check if Compisite is on or off for the X server from the command line? | 02:32 |
|---|
| crdlb | WorkingOnWise: yup (looking it up, sec) | 02:33 |
|---|
| Pelo | jasonUSA, they all can , just mount the shared folder on your ubuntu machine | 02:33 |
|---|
| peabody | jasonUSA: are you trying to play movies from network shares or some such? | 02:33 |
|---|
| jasonUSA | ok so i go to the folder its in and right clik on the file and mount? | 02:33 |
|---|
| WorkingOnWise | crdlb: cool...ty, and where did u look...I hate asking these simple questions, but don't know where to look for the answers.... | 02:33 |
|---|
| crdlb | WorkingOnWise: xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | grep -q Composite | 02:34 |
|---|
| crdlb | WorkingOnWise: look at /usr/bin/compiz :) | 02:34 |
|---|
| Pelo | jasonUSA, can you see the folder from your computer ? yes ? ok, open the app you want to read the file in and open the file from there | 02:34 |
|---|
| lulzturtle | Pelo, I've tried some port scanning sites. None of which could find any open ports. Will this keep me from connecting to my game server? | 02:34 |
|---|
| jasonUSA | ok | 02:34 |
|---|
| jasonUSA | i think i tryed that but ill do it agen | 02:34 |
|---|
| Pelo | lulzturtle, it shouldn't | 02:34 |
|---|
| jasonUSA | yes i can see it on my computer | 02:34 |
|---|
| Tyger | does anyone know why i can only get 24mb connection on my broadcom wireless? | 02:34 |
|---|
| jasonUSA | ty guys so much i love ubuntu | 02:34 |
|---|
| SeekerX6 | Sweeeeeeeet. Can watch youtube now. | 02:34 |
|---|
| lulzturtle | Pelo, I'm trying to connect to a dedicated server I made for Team Fortress 2. I wasn't sure if maybe ports were blocked. | 02:35 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | does anybody know why my inte/pro wireless 3945ABG cuts the connection off randomly? | 02:35 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | nobody on windows could figure it out, hp, or intel | 02:35 |
|---|
| dhinesh | hi | 02:35 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | it happens on windows and linux | 02:35 |
|---|
| peabody | Tyger: Broadcom cards are pretty finicky. Are you using the open source driver or the windows driver in ndiswrapper? | 02:35 |
|---|
| Pelo | lulzturtle, when you connect to a game server you are the one making the connection and the ports are opened accordingly , or some such, I 'm not the best person to ask | 02:35 |
|---|
| jasonUSA | i dont see my network link on the vlc open file screen | 02:35 |
|---|
| lulzturtle | Pelo, Okey, thanks :) | 02:35 |
|---|
| Tyger | peabody: im using the bcm43xx-fwcutter...i dont think ive installed ndiswrapper | 02:36 |
|---|
| jasonUSA | buy i see in natuols | 02:36 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | nautilus? | 02:36 |
|---|
| macogw | lulzturtle: ubuntu does not listen on any ports by default, so *inbound* connections are rejected. outbound is wide open | 02:36 |
|---|
| Pelo | lulzturtle, try finding a channel for the game itself, maybe you need to adjust some setting in the game | 02:36 |
|---|
| Drewnl09 | can someone tell me why I can't get a connection to the internet with airport on my macbook when i use ubuntu live cd? | 02:36 |
|---|
| jasonUSA | yes | 02:36 |
|---|
| jasonUSA | sorry] | 02:36 |
|---|
| Pelo | laterfolks | 02:36 |
|---|
| Tyger | peabody: im only 10ft from my router and i can only get 61% connection... | 02:36 |
|---|
| echosystm` | is ftp ok to use on a lan, rather than smb? | 02:36 |
|---|
| echosystm` | i kind of can't be bothered setting up samba lol | 02:37 |
|---|
| macogw | speeddemon8803: the file browser and the thing that shows the bg image in gnome | 02:37 |
|---|
| Tyger | peabody: should i try the ndiswrapper? | 02:37 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | tyger, i cant get ANY connection to my own router from my pc. | 02:37 |
|---|
| lulzturtle | macogw, so does that mean if the server I made on ubuntu has been told to use port 27015 for connections it will use it no problem? | 02:37 |
|---|
| macogw | lulzturtle: yep | 02:37 |
|---|
| peabody | Tyger: I would. I have a broadcom and it behaves much better using the windows drivers with ndiswrapper | 02:37 |
|---|
| lulzturtle | macogw, Is there a way to test that? | 02:37 |
|---|
| macogw | lulzturtle: but if it's behind a router, you need to tell the router to forward that port to the server | 02:37 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | Macogw i am aware of nautiuls, was just asking if i was reading it right. | 02:37 |
|---|
| macogw | speeddemon8803: oh ok sorry | 02:37 |
|---|
| Tyger | peabody: well i have the windows driver (bcmwl5.sys)....just not ndiswrapper... | 02:38 |
|---|
| lulzturtle | macogw, oh okey. I think it's behind my company's PIX router, probably out of luck in that case heh | 02:38 |
|---|
| dabbill | hurm i just installed swiftweasle32 but flash games seem to run in slow motion | 02:38 |
|---|
| macogw | lulzturtle: from outside you network you could try to telnet in on that port and if it connects, the port's open. could also go to one of those websites that portscans you | 02:38 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | As i said before I am very much so deep into ubuntu and linux...I definately know ubuntu like the back of my hand. :) | 02:38 |
|---|
| macogw | speeddemon8803: ive never seen your nick before *shrug* | 02:38 |
|---|
| lulzturtle | macogw, cool. I'd just love to get this Team Fortress 2 dedicated server running. I guess it's just not going to be :( | 02:39 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | macogw...im a beginner forum team member..but thats ok, hardly anybody knows me. :) | 02:39 |
|---|
| peabody | Tyger: apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 02:39 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | I am looked at as being a new user that doesnt know anything about the rules of the room or the forum...which is fine with me honestly. | 02:39 |

|---|
| WorkingOnWise | crdlb: then that brings to another problem. I do not want composite on most of the time. Only if I am gonna show off Compiz-Fusion. I cant find how to turn it off in my xorg.conf. I have tried Composite "False" "Disabled" and "0", based on howto's and a person in the ##xorg channel....any ideas? Composite is stubborn. It wants to live! | 02:44 |

| gtt | can someone explain to me why my /home partition has a size of 449gb, used space of 199mb, and free space of 426gb ? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55429/ | 02:47 |
|---|
| karlo | anyway if the terminal tells something like autoremove | 02:47 |
|---|
| karlo | do you think it's a good idea to remove it? | 02:47 |
|---|
| WorkingOnWise | crdlb: video is Nvidia 6100 in a laptop, works perfect. So much eyecandy my eye cavities have cavities :D But, I run 2 windows apps, both 3d, with wine. if I run them with compiz on, they break in strange ways. Wine is such a moving target still that i never know if the problem is wine or my app. Well, if composite is off totally, I cant accidentally run the apps with compiz enabled, and hopefull reduce my headaches | 02:47 |
|---|
| gtt | i mean, that's a difference of 15gigs which is a rather sizeable chunk? | 02:47 |
|---|
| dhinesh | jason> r u there | 02:48 |
|---|
| janne67 | #ubuntu.fi | 02:48 |
|---|
| WorkingOnWise | crdlb: oh, the latest Nvidia proprietary drivers too..169.09 iirc | 02:48 |
|---|
| macogw | karlo yes it means it was installed because something depended on it, but you removed whatever pulled it in, so now its just taking up space | 02:48 |
|---|
| * Kuwanger wonders why cpu usage spikes when switching windows. | 02:48 |
| ConstyXIV | karlo: autoremove means that another package depended on it, and that package was removed. If you're not using it, you're clear | 02:48 |

| thinman1189 | hey everyone. i'm having some trouble with my internet. i switched from wireless to wired to flash my firmware. i did'nt actually flash it, that's not the issue. anyway i went to go reconnect to my wireless and i can't for some reason. what's the command to reboot my net? i tried rebooting my computer but it won't work. | 03:34 |

| LetsGo67 | Keddy, no problem man. | 03:34 |

|---|
| Starnestommy | Decinoge: asking for ops will not make you an op | 03:35 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | hello all | 03:35 |
|---|
| Decinoge | lol.. seriously? | 03:35 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | been playing with compiz all day | 03:35 |
|---|
| Decinoge | i didn't knew | 03:35 |
|---|
| lhoerste | I'm looking for something that can make the desktop bigger than my screen (cause it's a TV and small) and then I can drag my mouse around the edges to move the viewing window. If someone could just tell me what this is called, that'd help a lot too. | 03:36 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | !hi | _Oz_ | 03:36 |
|---|
| ubotu | _Oz_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 03:36 |
|---|
| lhoerste | soldats: ^^ | 03:36 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | thinman1189: try "sudo /etc/rc0.d/S15wpa-ifupdown restart" in terminal | 03:36 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | hi speeddomon | 03:36 |
|---|
| hieppo | hello anyone experience with ati x1250 video? | 03:36 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | thinman1189: but reboot would do the same | 03:36 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | well, I am finally hitting some practical limits in my quest to ditch XP altogether for ubuntu | 03:36 |
|---|
| hieppo | specifically with enabling dual monitor? | 03:36 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | problem: you can't really run m$ word and excel perfectly, and adobe photoshop cs2 is not production-quality. | 03:37 |
|---|
| macogw | lhoerste: i called it "oops" when it happened to me | 03:37 |
|---|
| sier | hieppo, I searched a little, and got mine to work in 20 min.. (nvidia ) | 03:37 |
|---|
| Tailsfan | !ubotu \speech-to-text | 03:37 |
|---|
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about speech-to-text - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:37 |
|---|
| deathface | speach to text haha | 03:37 |
|---|
| hieppo | I know about nvidia. I had it working with an nvidia card too. it is quite easy compared to ati drivers | 03:37 |
|---|
| macogw | _Oz_: install virtualbox and run windows in a vm then | 03:37 |
|---|
| Tailsfan | Funny, but I like using it | 03:37 |
|---|
| CARRESS | Hi, I have an installation question...should I ask here or is there another channel I should be in? | 03:37 |
|---|
| thinman1189 | loa, it didn't work. cabrioleur, i've tried rebooting my computer, do you mean that rebooting or what loa said? | 03:37 |
|---|
| Tailsfan | this is the right channel | 03:37 |
|---|
| hieppo | my current setup has a monitor on dvi and a projector on hdmi | 03:38 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | macogw: how's the performance penalty? | 03:38 |
|---|
| macogw | _Oz_: virtualbox can do that mode parallels does where the programs that are running in Windows are just floating on your desktop instead of inside a box | 03:38 |
|---|
| macogw | _Oz_: smaller than with vmware | 03:38 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | can I really design in adobe photoshop without a huge hit? | 03:38 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | mm | 03:38 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I like the idea of a parallels-style interface | 03:38 |
|---|
| loa | <thinman1189> look at your settings vim /etc/network/interfaces | 03:38 |
|---|
| macogw | _Oz_: virtualbox is the fastest virtual machine, based on the benchmarks i saw, if you pre-allocate the hard drive space (setting "dynamic" so it resizes as you use space makes it very slow though) | 03:38 |
|---|
| loa | <thinman1189> route -n | 03:38 |
|---|
| shear | seriously...they push a firefox update down that breaks flash. right on | 03:38 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | thinman1189: both, what I said and what he said, is done during reboot as well. | 03:38 |
|---|
| CARRESS | ok..here's the question- keep in mind, I've joined the ubuntu forum, and I've googled and read a few documents. | 03:39 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | _Oz_, You mean where each windows application has it's own window? | 03:39 |
|---|
| CARRESS | It doesn't seem like anyone is addressing a brand new hd w/o an os installed, and I remember reading once that in order to dual boot, windows had to go on first... | 03:39 |
|---|
| pocketwatch | lhoerste, edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. look for a line called "Virtual" and change the resolution (back it up first!) | 03:39 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I need to play a bit with virtualbox | 03:39 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | it doesn't look super user-friendly | 03:39 |
|---|
| loa | <thinman1189> I think you reconfigure something wrong... | 03:39 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | then again, I'm an idiot | 03:39 |
|---|
| ArielMT | _Oz_: yup. you'll need to install windows in a virtualbox vm, but once you have that and the virtualbox driver installed in windows, your windows windows and ubuntu windows can be side-by-side :D | 03:39 |
|---|
| badkitty | CARRESS: It doesnt have to go on first, it just makes it way easier to setup | 03:39 |
|---|
| loa | <_Oz_> i think it is very userfriendly) | 03:39 |
|---|
| thinman1189 | loa, all i did was turn off my wireless and turn on wired. the settings look the same but it won't work | 03:40 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | arielmt: I will do it. | 03:40 |
|---|
| CARRESS | bad, ok.. so I should put on windows first, and partition the hd thru windows? | 03:40 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I wish we could get M$' apps to be truly and 100% compatible in linux | 03:40 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I have no choice but to use them, everyone at my office uses office | 03:40 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | _Oz_, I wish we didn't need to :) | 03:40 |
|---|
| badkitty | CARRESS: Yes, infact if you can partition the drive before you install windows, thats the easiest | 03:40 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | converting them will be impossible :) | 03:40 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | jordan_U: I am with you there. | 03:41 |
|---|
| loa | <thinman1189> show me your ifconfig and route -n, and describe what connection you want create | 03:41 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I hate M$. | 03:41 |
|---|
| macogw | _Oz_: http://blog.gobanquet.com/index.php/virtualbox-15-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/ | 03:41 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | Hate the way they make me jump through hoops.\ | 03:41 |
|---|
| CARRESS | partition it using what? I'm rather green... | 03:41 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | ah, thanks, macogw. | 03:41 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | !factoid speech-to-text | 03:41 |
|---|
| macogw | _Oz_: note that the "the bad" that says there are no packages for the open source edition is now wrong. it's virtualbox-ose in the repos | 03:41 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | _Oz_: OpenOffice filters for excell and word don't work for you? | 03:41 |
|---|
| CARRESS | badkitty partition it using what? I'm rather green... | 03:41 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | cabrioleur: the problem is I work on fairly complex spreadsheets which are then passed off to other people in the office | 03:42 |
|---|
| badkitty | CARRESS: There are a ton of partitioners you can download for free and make a live boot cd from to do this.. Many of the HDD cd's come with partitioners as well | 03:42 |
|---|
| macogw | _Oz_: i dont know what else has changed since the article was written. i dont use that mode. itd be silly when my virtual machine is debian without X :P | 03:42 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | openoffice is fine for simple stuff, but if you dig past skin deep it's not really compatible with office 2003 | 03:42 |
|---|
| ArielMT | can OOo understand office 2k7's format? | 03:42 |
|---|
| lhoerste | pocketwatch: there is no "Virtual" line | 03:42 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | _Oz_: if you use Office 2003 consider CrossOffice. | 03:42 |
|---|
| badkitty | CARRESS: You have a brand new HDD right? | 03:42 |
|---|
| CARRESS | badkitty, yes | 03:42 |
|---|
| cylex | What port do I need open to recieve email? | 03:42 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | cabrioleur: I did. crossoffice doesn't really support it 100%. the only "gold" status they give is to office 2000, which is too old. | 03:43 |
|---|
| badkitty | CARRESS: What brand is it? Did it come with a CD? | 03:43 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | cylex it depends on your isp | 03:43 |
|---|
| cylex | speeddemon8803: my isp allows port 25 to be open, but I thought it was to send th email | 03:43 |
|---|
| badkitty | BRB CARRESS | 03:43 |
|---|
| CARRESS | badkitty it's a toshiba, no cd.. but I do have my toshiba recovery disk (w. xp)that came w/ the laptop initially... | 03:43 |

| jack-desktop | how can i set my firefox font to "Sans" if it doesn't have the font in the font list | 03:43 |
|---|
| shear | hmm, anyone heard anything about flash breaking with the firefox update that got sent down a day or two ago? | 03:43 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | breaking? | 03:44 |

| thinman1189 | loa : what should i give you? | 03:44 |
|---|
| speeddemon8803 | Flash was fixed with the update a few days ago supposedly. | 03:44 |
|---|
| astro76 | jack-desktop: is bitstream vera sans in the list? because that's what sans links to | 03:44 |
|---|
| shear | speeddemon8803: as in, winds up like it's gonna play, then nothing | 03:44 |

|---|
| lhoerste | pocketwatch: genius! | 03:49 |
|---|
| loa | <thinman1189> and if you need gateway... then route add default gw 192.168.0.1 | 03:49 |
|---|
| lhoerste | pocketwatch: it worked | 03:49 |
|---|
| danbhfive | CARRESS: the ubuntu livecd has gparted on it, if you can run that | 03:49 |
|---|
| cylex | thinman1189: i know a tutorial, that'll give u static ip under ubuntu.. if you just give me a min | 03:49 |

|---|
| thiemster | is there anyway to get a canoscan 8600f scanner working in ubuntu? | 03:49 |

|---|
| badkitty | CARRESS: I would just go ahead and install windows ... then ubuntu should do the rest, just pay attention to the settings when it talks about resizing or partitioning | 03:52 |
|---|
| cylex | thinman1189 : also check if other comp didn't take it | 03:52 |

| craigbass1976 | sanesto, And someone correct me if I'm wrong, couldn't you copy menu.lst over to the internal HD and just change a bit of stuff to makeit work from there? | 04:13 |
|---|
| RochJer | What is the best solution to fix the pogo.com with java ? (just wanted an opinion) | 04:13 |

|---|
| fr500 | sanesto: the grub that works...does it show the 3 OSs? | 04:14 |

| sanesto | it shows them all | 04:14 |

| sanesto | i just want a way to boot the 3 os whether i have my external plugged in or not | 04:14 |
|---|
| cylex | Flashq009: I hope this works | 04:14 |
|---|
| sanesto | which contains ubuntu installation | 04:14 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | I say copy menu.lst... the drive references will all be wrong I think, though the kernels will be right | 04:14 |
|---|
| Flashq009 | Cylex>> thank you. | 04:14 |
|---|
| thinman1189 | cylex i'm not sure if it matters but i had to use ndiswrapper to get it to work in the first place | 04:15 |
|---|
| Blue_Sassley | pocketwatch, ok I just tested it and still got the error... am I suppose to run the vncviewer command in the SSH session? | 04:15 |
|---|
| sanesto | i copied menu.lst and still got error 21 | 04:15 |
|---|
| pocketwatch | Blue_Sassley, can you connect from the host machine to itself (as a test) | 04:15 |
|---|
| sanesto | ... | 04:15 |
|---|
| cylex | sanesto: it's not possible unless you run Virtual Machine software | 04:15 |
|---|
| sanesto | hmmm | 04:15 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | sanesto, my last comment makes me sound like a jerk.. not sure how else to put it. anyway.... did you change the drive references? | 04:15 |
|---|
| sanesto | there's no way to have ubuntu on the external and fedora + xp on the internal ? | 04:16 |
|---|
| sanesto | no, i'm not good with drive references | 04:16 |
|---|
| cylex | sanesto: not that I know of | 04:16 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | sanesto: Did you install to the external last? | 04:16 |
|---|
| sanesto | yea | 04:16 |
|---|
| sanesto | i did | 04:16 |
|---|
| Blue_Sassley | pocketwatch, yes I have tested with just vncviewer | 04:16 |
|---|
| sanesto | last thing i did was ubuntu on external | 04:16 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | (hd0,0) those parts | 04:16 |

| goodmami | Can I change the Input Method of a program from the command line? | 04:16 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Hey folks... Rather than fart around wiht a gutsy disc.. can anyone tell me what usually will give a "diskette drive 0 seek failure" ? I've disabled the floppy, checked RAM... | 04:17 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | sanesto: If you installed grub to the onboard mbr and not the bootable usb drive the onboard drive will only look for grub on the external | 04:17 |
|---|
| goodmami | (eg, in some text areas you can right-click, select Input Method, and choose one... Other types of text areas do not allow this) | 04:17 |
|---|
| Blue_Sassley | pocketwatch, and the command I'm running is: vncviewer -via <IP address> <computer-name>:<display number> | 04:17 |

| sanesto | so if i reinstall grub on fedora | 04:17 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | sanesto: Copy the menu list all you want, without the external it will not work | 04:17 |
|---|
| sanesto | i mean | 04:18 |
|---|
| cylex | thinman1189: try backing up everything and reinstalling the distro | 04:18 |
|---|
| goodmami | (the problem is that in some applications the keyboard goes dead, and I have to select an input method (such as SCIM or default)) | 04:18 |
|---|
| pocketwatch | Blue_Sassley, one sec, checking something | 04:18 |
|---|
| sanesto | if i reinstall fedora on internal | 04:18 |
|---|
| Blue_Sassley | pocketwatch, ok thanks | 04:18 |
|---|
| sanesto | i should be able to boot os on internal | 04:18 |
|---|
| sanesto | ? | 04:18 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | sanesto: You would reinstall grub to the mbr of the onboard pointing to fedora. | 04:18 |
|---|
| sanesto | how do i reinstall grub ? | 04:19 |
|---|
| thinman1189 | cylex won't work. i had a lot of trouble and used ndiswrapper to get this to work in the first place. it's not an out of the box card. | 04:19 |

|---|
| cylex | What is compiz? | 04:22 |
|---|
| Blue_Sassley | pocketwatch, well when you are at work what is the command you use to start the VNC session? | 04:22 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | or you mean running virtualbox on a machine that has compiz also setup? | 04:22 |

| acee1234 | Jack_Sparrow: im a bit new where is that file and what do i look for under wiki | 04:23 |
|---|
| cylex | Dr_willis: thx | 04:23 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | _Oz_, it should be able to do that. or use vmware, or you might want to check out crossover-office. | 04:23 |
|---|
| pocketwatch | Blue_Sassley, i used tightvncviewer (standalone) and the ip was localhost::5900 or 5901 i forgot since itried them both | 04:23 |

|---|
| Blue_Sassley | pocketwatch, oh ok | 04:23 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | jacksparrow: it doesn't. but compiz doesn't play well with it. as you close windows, etc. the screen is garbled. | 04:23 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Yeo.. | 04:23 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | at least, that's what I've been told. | 04:24 |
|---|
| Blue_Sassley | pocketwatch, does that still use the SSH or are you just direct connecting? | 04:24 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | what's the current vers. of virtualbox? | 04:24 |

| pocketwatch | Blue_Sassley, it's using ssh, you set up the connection with putty first | 04:24 |
|---|
| Blue_Sassley | pocketwatch, ok I think I got it then | 04:24 |
|---|
| acee1234 | Jack_Sparrow: and the wiki | 04:24 |
|---|
| cylex | thinman1189: if u want to try.. try the default gateway as first dns server, and 127.0.0.1 as second one | 04:24 |
|---|
| pocketwatch | Blue_Sassley, alright, best of luck | 04:24 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | _Oz_, you could check the virtualbox web site and see what the latest debs they got are. | 04:24 |

|---|
| sanesto | yea sorry | 04:26 |
|---|
| Blue_Sassley | pocketwatch, thanks | 04:26 |

| Starnestommy | Zombino: #openoffice.org may be a more appropriate place for it | 04:28 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I see | 04:28 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | thanks for the tip, badkitty... so you think I should just be able to do the standard virtualbox install and I'll be good to go? | 04:28 |

| pocketdrummer | sanesto: What version of Ubuntu are you using and what kind of graphic card do you have? | 04:29 |

| pocketdrummer | I have an nVidia card too, and it freaks out unless I set it to vesa then install the restricted drivers. | 04:29 |
|---|
| sanesto | ... | 04:29 |
|---|
| jijutm | hi.. | 04:30 |
|---|
| jijutm | i would appreciate if some one could shed the light.. | 04:30 |
|---|
| sanesto | ... | 04:30 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | on? | 04:30 |
|---|
| jijutm | i am lost | 04:30 |
|---|
| sanesto | so u think the problem is the vga driver ? | 04:30 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I'm going to give it a shot, badkitty. | 04:30 |
|---|
| cylex | thinman1189: what ip you get when you type ifconfig -a | 04:30 |
|---|
| iKap | what codecs do i need to install for MPLAYER to play mpgs, divx, wmvs, etc.. just all basic formats?! | 04:31 |
|---|
| jijutm | on getting my gdm screen back to norma. | 04:31 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | sanesto: When you boot into Ubuntu, press Ctrl+Alt+F1. From there, type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:31 |
|---|
| sanesto | but the prob is that i can't see anything on the screen to type... | 04:31 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | jijutm, what is your gdm screen doing? | 04:31 |
|---|
| cylex | thinman1189: when I had internet connection problem, every time I set the static ip, I had to reboot, in order for it to work, ubuntu networking is kinda messed up | 04:31 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | Although, it's got me thinking: I realize this is old hat to all of you linuxheads who long ago swore off windows, but as a guy who's recently jumped off the ship, I am going through new thought processes. what I'm wondering is: if I can't get away from the windows apps which chain me to M$, what's the point of ubuntu (other than having fun)? | 04:31 |
|---|
| thinman1189 | cylex that gives me a lot of output which adress? | 04:31 |
|---|
| badkitty | iKap: go to medibuntu.org install the packages it has there (mostly libdvdcss2 and w32codecs and the ffmpeg one | 04:32 |
|---|
| jijutm | it shows me a warning only.. with no xservers are configured.. this may be a config error | 04:32 |
|---|
| jijutm | i should login and fix it | 04:32 |
|---|
| thinman1189 | cylex i've rebooted multiple times and no dice | 04:32 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | sanesto: I can't either until I press ctrl+alt+F1. It takes you to the terminal. You have to make sure it is a capital X or it won't work. The terminal is case-sensitive. | 04:32 |
|---|
| drpcken | ok right now i'm using Pidgin for a multi-protocol IM, only problem is when i have a chat window minimized, it doesn't flash when i receive a new message. i didn't see a setting for this. is there a way? or can you suggest a BETTER multiprotocol IM? | 04:32 |
|---|
| iKap | badkitty, i rememebr there being a command to do this thorugh the terminal that installed all needed codecs.. etc. | 04:32 |
|---|
| badkitty | iKap: You can also do a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:32 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | jijutm, so just a console? No X at all? | 04:32 |
|---|
| jijutm | ys | 04:32 |
|---|
| iKap | badkitty, thats all? | 04:32 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | ah ok. X is borked then. | 04:32 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Which is never fun. | 04:33 |
|---|
| supershort | hi | 04:33 |
|---|
| iKap | my X is broken as well, so im about to go restore. | 04:33 |
|---|
| jijutm | i dont get you | 04:33 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | What kind of graphics card do you get? | 04:33 |
|---|
| supershort | how to i extract and install this realvnc program | 04:33 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Well, I guess he'll be back, he quit before I explained the rest..... | 04:33 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | ack, have | 04:33 |
|---|
| goodmami | yeah ok thanks anyway | 04:33 |
|---|
| jijutm | i did apt-get install xdm | 04:33 |
|---|
| monte | cylex what are u talking about sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree were do i go to install it at? | 04:33 |
|---|
| jijutm | today.. | 04:33 |
|---|
| badkitty | iKap: That with the medibuntu codecs and your multimedia will be basically complete | 04:33 |
|---|
| jijutm | and chose that as the default.. | 04:33 |
|---|
| jijutm | I can login now.. | 04:34 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Don't think xdm would screw up X itself... | 04:34 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | How many people here have an nVidia card and cannot use the default nv drivers that come with Ubuntu? | 04:34 |
|---|
| jijutm | but the familiar themed ubuntu login is no more available | 04:34 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | login on the console? | 04:34 |
|---|
| jijutm | ys | 04:34 |
|---|
| Blue_Sassley | What is a program I can use to download stuff on to a iPod... one that has the Apple OS on it still | 04:34 |
|---|
| jokie51 | um, you can always use the nv driver for 2d things | 04:34 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | ah, so xdm is not even starting? | 04:34 |
|---|
| Blue_Sassley | !ipod > Blue_Sassley | 04:34 |
|---|
| jokie51 | i even had the nv driver running an 8800GTX | 04:34 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | jijutm: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 04:34 |
|---|
| jokie51 | yea it was slow | 04:34 |
|---|
| jokie51 | but until i figured out how to use the restricted devices manager, its all i had | 04:35 |

| _Oz_ | can anyone recommend a recent virtualbox tutorial for me? | 04:35 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | or should I just follow the instructions from virtualbox? | 04:35 |
|---|
| Blue_Sassley | Sorry guys ubutu has the answer | 04:35 |
|---|
| bruenig | "figured out" | 04:35 |
|---|
| acee1234 | jack_sparrow: that killed my gnome display manager | 04:35 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | jijutm, do try what Starnestommy mentioned | 04:35 |
|---|
| jijutm | ok will try that.. | 04:35 |
|---|
| cylex | monte: you want to install the flash player right? | 04:35 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | acee1234: It should not have.. IT is from the ati page... | 04:35 |
|---|
| monte | yes | 04:35 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Do you need one? It's not too complicated.. the hardest part is figuring out what additional package needs to be installed after it gives you an error the first time you try to run it | 04:35 |
|---|
| jijutm | thanks guys.. will check that and be back soon.. | 04:36 |
|---|
| cylex | monte: so that's one way or better way is this link I'll give you | 04:36 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | jijutm, best of luck | 04:36 |

| Jack_Sparrow | acee1234: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide | 04:36 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I'm the kind of guy that generally needs one, yes | 04:36 |
|---|
| acee1234 | Jack_Sparrow: but the video is fixed | 04:36 |

|---|
| supershort | how to i extract shit in console | 04:36 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | One other question: is virtualbox definitively "better" than vmware? | 04:36 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Anybody have a widescreen monitor and get the console NOT running off the screen? | 04:36 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | as in faster, more stable, etc. | 04:36 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | supershort: what are you extracting? | 04:37 |
|---|
| acee1234 | "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. Without the GNOME settings manager running, some....." | 04:37 |
|---|
| supershort | realvnc | 04:37 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: LOL, well ... It's a matter of opinion, but I found virtualbox much easier to get working with linux | 04:37 |
|---|
| cylex | thinman1189: dunno.. keep trying that tutorial.. or something | 04:37 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | acee1234: Glad you got video working... gotta go.. | 04:37 |
|---|
| thinman1189 | cylex where in the forums should i try posting? | 04:37 |

| jokie51 | virtualbox doesnt support AMD-V or Intel VT extensions for virtualization | 04:37 |

| jokie51 | Vmware does. | 04:37 |

| cylex | monte: download the tar.gz Its a binary .. easy install | 04:37 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | Thanks, badkitty. | 04:37 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | cptnapalm: Mine doesn't run off. That's just default too. You may have to change settings (I dont' know which). | 04:38 |
|---|
| supershort | well? | 04:38 |
|---|
| thinman1189 | cylex ugh i just restarted and it did a forced check, 37 times without apparently. | 04:38 |
|---|
| acee1234 | thank you jack | 04:38 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | jokie: I have an AMD 64 chip, does that matter? | 04:38 |
|---|
| supershort | how to i extract | 04:38 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | supershort: tar -xzf filename.tar.gz | 04:38 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | wait, whoops | 04:38 |
|---|
| jokie51 | oxez: X2 or better? | 04:38 |
|---|
| jokie51 | err | 04:38 |
|---|
| monte | then i extract or wat do i do | 04:38 |
|---|
| jokie51 | _Oz_: | 04:38 |
|---|
| cylex | supershort: tar -zxpvf filename.tar.gz | 04:38 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: PM me if you want help with it.. I actually have to finish installing the other package and set it up for first OS.. I'll go over it with you if you want | 04:38 |
|---|
| * Starnestommy needs glasses, I think | 04:38 |
| cylex | monte: then just run the binary | 04:39 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | pocketdrummer: Mine unfortunately does run off.. and the fonts are big and ugly. I've tried some suggested work arounds, but nothing has helped yet... Which sucks as sometimes I really just want an ocean of text | 04:39 |
|---|
| cylex | monte: do it from the terminal please | 04:39 |
|---|
| bruenig | cylex, p is more for creating archives isn't it? | 04:39 |
|---|
| jokie51 | X2 (65nm variants) and Phenoms have AMD Secure Virtual. | 04:39 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | thanks, badkitty | 04:39 |
|---|
| acee1234 | anyone have any ideas why changing th xorg file composite entry from enabled to disable will kill gnome display manager and compiz? | 04:39 |
|---|
| cylex | bruenig: no | 04:39 |
|---|
| Onyx | How can I install some new fonts? I've got the ability to use ttfs, but I've forgotten the process for installing new fonts/refreshing the system's font cache. | 04:39 |
|---|
| monte | how do i do that | 04:39 |
|---|
| cylex | bruenig: to create it.. tar -cvf filename.tar.gz | 04:39 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Compiz would need the composite entry wouldn't it? | 04:39 |
|---|
| monte | i am new at this | 04:39 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | cptnapalm: What's your monitor's native resolution? Mine is 1680x1050. | 04:39 |
|---|
| bruenig | cylex, no but I mean p means to preserve the permission whilst creating an archive I thought | 04:40 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | pocketdrummer: mine's the same :( | 04:40 |
|---|
| cylex | bruenig: I think its without permission but not sure | 04:40 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | cptnapalm: That can't be it then... what about your video card? | 04:40 |
|---|
| cylex | monte: read the documentation on www.ubuntu.com | 04:40 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | pocketdrummer: It's an nVidia 8500 GT. Works wonderfully in X without any problems. | 04:41 |
|---|
| Ashnal | so ive found something that annoys me, which is that if im playing music of some sort, and my computer comes under a heavy processing load, the music will skip, is there a way to prevent this? | 04:41 |
|---|
| bruenig | Ashnal, no | 04:41 |
|---|
| monte | okay so i go to the website and do wat | 04:41 |
|---|
| jokie51 | Ashnal: yes. upgrade your CPU to a dual core/quad core. something capable of multithreading. | 04:42 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Ashnal: only if you up the nice level of the other stuff you are doing, I think. | 04:42 |
|---|
| cylex | monte: read the Documentation | 04:42 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Hmm. I never have those issues. with my Audigy2zs card. | 04:42 |
|---|
| jokie51 | dual core CPU's are dirt cheap. | 04:42 |
|---|
| cylex | monte: cant teach you everything over the irc | 04:42 |
|---|
| jokie51 | Theres no reason not to have at least 2 cores. | 04:42 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | acee1234: Run fglrxinfo and make sure it says ati and NOT mesa.... | 04:42 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Just got a Quad Core PC (Acer) for $550 a few weeks ago. | 04:42 |
|---|
| Ashnal | except an older computer with a motherboard that doesnt support a dual core | 04:42 |
|---|
| monte | o then the internet link | 04:42 |
|---|
| jokie51 | Ashnal: Don't even. :P | 04:42 |
|---|
| supershort | it wont work | 04:43 |
|---|
| jokie51 | AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+: $65, MSI K9N AM2+ Board: $89, 1GB (2x512) DDR2-667: $38 | 04:43 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | cptnapalm: You may want to try the forums. I honestly don't have enough experience with linux to be able to accurately identify the issue. | 04:43 |
|---|
| Ashnal | so theres no way to give sound output priority over other things always? | 04:43 |
|---|
| jokie51 | like I said, cheap. | 04:43 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | acee1234: Run fglrxinfo and make sure it says ati and NOT mesa.... sorry if this is a repeat.. | 04:44 |

| cptnapalm | Ashnal: actually try running the music player from the command line preceeded by nice 0 or so. "man nice" for how to use nice | 04:44 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | cptnapalm: Maybe the problem lies in xorg.conf? Does anyone else have any knowledge of this? | 04:44 |
|---|
| danbhfive | Ashnal: how about nice values? | 04:44 |

| jw144000 | poningru: Can I PM you? | 04:45 |

| monte | i have got it so that should let me watch vids and everything right with just that download correct? | 04:46 |
|---|
| russ | Hello, can someone explain (or make an educated guess) why after installing KDE on my ubuntu (gutsy) system, the "places" menu in gnome doesn't work any more (fails to open a window)? | 04:46 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | pocketdrummer: I think it has to do with how the console is set up from the get go. I remember way back when I compiled my own kernels I always included the framebuffer driver in the kernel. The default kernels now only build them as a module and don't know when that module loads. | 04:46 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | bob_ hi :D | 04:46 |
|---|
| jokie51 | russ: much easier to just start from Kubuntu | 04:46 |
|---|
| bob__ | u need help with nvidia? | 04:46 |
|---|
| jokie51 | installing KDE on vanilla ubuntu tends to break a LOT of things. | 04:46 |
|---|
| bob__ | pocket send me PM if u need help with nvidia | 04:46 |
|---|
| badkitty | Anyone remember what command to use when accessing mysql for the first time? | 04:46 |
|---|
| acee1234 | when i disabled composite in the xorg file to get rid of video flickering it killed my compiz any ideas? | 04:46 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. I install kubuntu-desktop on my Ubuntu machines all the time. No hassles. | 04:47 |
|---|
| russ | jokie51 great, wish I knew that before doing it | 04:47 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | acee1234: compiz needs compisiting | 04:47 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | *compositing | 04:47 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: wouldn't compiz require compositing? | 04:47 |
|---|
| Onyx | How can I install some new fonts? I've got the ability to use ttfs, but I've forgotten the process for installing new fonts/refreshing the system's font cache. | 04:47 |
|---|
| jokie51 | badkitty: mysqladmin -u root password 'new password here' | 04:47 |
|---|
| acee1234 | cptnapalm: then is there a diferent way to get rid of my video/screen flickering? | 04:47 |
|---|
| russ | jokie51 great, any suggestions for how to make it work again? Are the kde and gnome desktops incompatible? | 04:48 |
|---|
| badkitty | jokie51: ahh admin.... | 04:48 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | acee1234: What did fglrxinfo say | 04:48 |
|---|
| acee1234 | someone said something about apic noapic | 04:48 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: Not sure... using nVidia? | 04:48 |
|---|
| bob__ | put them in the /etc/fonts dir | 04:48 |
|---|
| jokie51 | russ: yes. :) remove KDE. | 04:48 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | /etc/fonts is for font config stuff... | 04:48 |
|---|
| acee1234 | Jack_Sparrow: OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 | 04:49 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | acee: that's CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow. | 04:49 |
|---|
| jokie51 | It's a total PITA getting KDE to operate properly with Gnome on the same machine, unless you want to toil and burn for 1500 hours reinstalling applications by the dozen with support for both. | 04:49 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | acee1234: good.. you should read that page I linked..it will get you going | 04:49 |
|---|
| acee1234 | ARGGG... | 04:49 |
|---|
| russ | jokie51 really? | 04:49 |
|---|
| acee1234 | might you resend that link Captain? | 04:49 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: I seem to remember something about vblank having something to do with that... which sounded just like vsync | 04:49 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | onyx: there's also windows fonts in Add/Remove if you wanted those. | 04:49 |
|---|
| jokie51 | russ: yes. generally when one is a KDE user he/she doesn't use Gnome, and vice versa. :P | 04:50 |
|---|
| jokie51 | Kubuntu is much easier to start with | 04:50 |
|---|
| jokie51 | its the same OS, just built around KDE | 04:50 |
|---|
| Onyx | pocketdrummer: Nah, I've got the windows fonts installed; just looking for how to install custom fonts and the like. | 04:50 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | what's the diff essentially, between KDE and gnome? | 04:50 |
|---|
| jokie51 | _Oz_: Well, for one, Gnome is for retarded people. :) | 04:50 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | _Oz_: Different desktops and basic app selection | 04:50 |
|---|
| jokie51 | Or at least that is what Mr. Torvalds says. | 04:51 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | jokie51: Please dont do that | 04:51 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | jokie51: you're hurting my heart man :_( | 04:51 |
|---|
| jokie51 | Gnome is oversimplified. | 04:51 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Odd thing is when Gnome and KDE started out, they looked almost exactly the same... Now they look rather different since Gnome changed the default to a Windows/Mac hybrid interface | 04:51 |
|---|
| jokie51 | It's insulting to Linux users. | 04:51 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | jokie51: so is trolling | 04:51 |
|---|
| bob__ | i went 2 an apple store 2day and asked if i could buy the OS and install it on a pentium box and it took like 4-5 ppl asking eachother if it could b done | 04:51 |
|---|
| bob__ | then the answer came from the back of the store: | 04:52 |
|---|
| ipodtouch | does ubuntu still suck? | 04:52 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | jokie51: Odd seeing as Gnome and all its stuff was developed by Linux users whereas KDE started with a proprietary toolkit | 04:52 |
|---|
| ipodtouch | can i run photoshop on it yet | 04:52 |
|---|
| bob__ | "the official answer is no, but...." | 04:52 |
|---|
| supershort | yes u can | 04:52 |

| acee1234 | Jack sparrow wich link was that the gutsy install guide? | 04:52 |

| ipodtouch | can i run games, photoshop and shit | 04:52 |
|---|
| zelrikriando | ipodtouch: with Vbox you can | 04:52 |
|---|
| ipodtouch | no | 04:52 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | jokie51: It depends what your target audience is. Gnome and KDE are both user friendly. So, naturally, more people will be inclined to switch from windows if it isn't a pain to learn. | 04:52 |
|---|
| ipodtouch | i mean | 04:52 |
|---|
| ipodtouch | does adobe support ubuntu | 04:52 |

| ipodtouch | i dont have time to waste | 04:52 |

|---|
| Dr_willis | ipodtouch, try reading and doing some research ane less trolling. | 04:52 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | ipodtouch: You obviously have time to waste. You are on IRC. | 04:53 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | beat me to it | 04:53 |
|---|
| ipodtouch | garbage | 04:53 |

|---|
| zelrikriando | ipodtouch: he installed ubuntu this morning | 04:53 |

| Seraph | amenado: Yes, It now picks up networks, as opposed to having a blank sheet. | 04:56 |
|---|
| danbhfive | Flashq009: maybe drupal? | 04:56 |
|---|
| russ | jokie51, I guess that's one of the dangers of community-supported software, somebody from the community told me it was going to work fine | 04:56 |
|---|
| bob__ | it boots fine with dapper and edgy | 04:56 |
|---|
| Seraph | It just won't connect to anything distant or encrypted. | 04:56 |

| zelrikriando | I am sure ipodtouch is running Vista :D | 04:56 |
|---|
| russ | jokie51 although he suggested installing kde-core | 04:56 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | uhohzombies: try adding noapic to the boot options in the livecd | 04:56 |
|---|
| jokie51 | russ: well they lied. i tried installing KDE applications and they all pulled in KDE as a dependency and then everything went tits up. | 04:56 |

|---|
| jokie51 | I don't care if anyone pm's me, to be honest. | 04:57 |
|---|
| amenado | Seraph-> just like your AM radio, you may not be able to pickup stations from alaska, assuming you are not in alaska | 04:57 |
|---|
| jokie51 | theres no obligation to answer PM's on the internet so why does everyone get so upset? :P | 04:57 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | bob__: only thing that might help you narrow down the problem that I can think of would be to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst so as not to do the splash and instead display the console output | 04:58 |

| Seraph | amenado: Whereas previously the wireless networks tab was completely blank, it now shows all WiFi areas around. So yes, I'd say it detects it. Not sure about the access point. | 04:58 |

| amenado | jokie its is called net etiguette | 04:58 |

| pocketdrummer | zelrikriando: Nothing worked, it was slow, and coming out of standby was an interesting technicolor adventure. Thank god for Ubuntu. :D | 04:58 |

| napash7 | jokie51: i have grub installed but ubuntu still won't boot from the external usb drive | 04:58 |
|---|
| bob__ | cpt: i dabbled with that and i still had no luck. it had something to do with compiz. I didnt have the same prob with compiz on fedora 7 | 04:58 |
|---|
| amenado | Seraph-> detecting is a first step towards association to an access point | 04:59 |
|---|
| Seraph | amenado: You'll have to elaborate a bit for me, I'm afraid. | 04:59 |
|---|
| monte | okay now i have my other problems fixed what plugins do i need to play a dvd on the computer? | 04:59 |
|---|
| jokie51 | im getting pissed off :P anyone got a pair of those stress reliever balls that you twirl in one hand? | 04:59 |
|---|
| danbhfive | badkitty: have you tried the computer root password? the password of the first user...? | 04:59 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | I know we're in the Ubuntu Channel, but what would everyone say is better or at least a close second to Ubuntu? | 05:00 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Hello | 05:00 |
|---|
| napash7 | jokie51: is there any way to fix this problem b/c i still can't boot from usb even with the BIOS having the USB device set to boot 1st | 05:00 |
|---|
| jokie51 | monte: libdvdcss/libdvdnav/libdvdread | 05:00 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | pocketdrummer: Here's a funny XP story. About 2 years ago I got a laptop with XP on it. Eventually wiped out the windows partition in favor of Ubuntu. One day, decide that I would like a small XP partition for some games. I pop in the disc and install XP... which couldn't find a driver for my wireless card or audio... I laughed. | 05:00 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Just wanted to say, whoever invented the "negative window" is a freakin' genius. | 05:00 |
|---|
| ChamPro | pocketdrummer: plain ol' Debian | 05:00 |
|---|
| Onyx | does wine use its own font server? | 05:00 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | It's so useful for reading ebooks or any text. | 05:00 |
|---|
| monte | in the synaptic | 05:00 |
|---|
| badkitty | danbhfive: I just figured it out.. it needed a -p for some reaosns | 05:00 |
|---|
| amenado | Seraph-> your radio has to detect the signal 1st before it can select to associate to that transmitter | 05:00 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | So easy on the eyes. | 05:00 |
|---|
| jokie51 | Onyx: yes. fontforge | 05:00 |
|---|
| monte | i put it in the search | 05:00 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Try it out if you have compiz | 05:00 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | superkey + n (superkey is the windows key) | 05:01 |
|---|
| Seraph | amenado: And, if it's on roaming, how do I check if it is able to associate with it? | 05:01 |
|---|
| danbhfive | badkitty: ah yes, -p means to enter a password | 05:01 |
|---|
| Seraph | it being the signal. :P | 05:01 |
|---|
| Onyx | jokie51: How can I install fonts using fontforge? | 05:01 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | bob__: Do you know if it hangs on something in particular? | 05:01 |
|---|
| thinman1189 | hey everyone. i'm having some trouble with my internet. i switched from wireless to wired to flash my firmware. i didn't actually flash it, that's not the issue. anyway i went to go reconnect to my wireless and i can't for some reason. what's the command to reboot my net? i tried rebooting my computer but it won't work. i have a Belkin F5D7000 using ndis wrapper. | 05:01 |
|---|
| Scunizi | papuccino1, ok you've got my curiosity.. how to I make a window "negative" | 05:01 |
|---|
| monte | jokie51: do i search that in the add/remove programs | 05:02 |
|---|
| jokie51 | fontforge is the rendering engine for wine | 05:02 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Just press superkey + n Scunizi | 05:02 |
|---|
| jokie51 | thats all | 05:02 |
|---|
| jokie51 | monte: what? | 05:02 |
|---|
| Infinito_ | let me ask, now everytime I try to change the desktop visual effects from 'none' to any other level, the frames of all windows change, the closing and minimizing buttons shift to the top left... how can I preserve the compiz stuff but revert that? a print of my screen ->http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/1438/screenshotik8.png | 05:02 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | You have to activate it in the compiz gnome manager. | 05:02 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | cptnapalm: That's pretty funny. It's amazing how fast you can get Ubuntu working on a new system (as long as you don't hit any weird roadblock along the way.) | 05:02 |
|---|
| badkitty | danbhfive: How come NONE of a tutorials say that?? arg | 05:02 |
|---|
| Jangari | does anyone know how to install the mp3/ogg vorbis libraries for sox? | 05:02 |
|---|
| monte | for the dvd to play? | 05:02 |
|---|
| zelrikriando | pocketdrummer: I showed my video of ubuntu this morning to my friend...this afternoon he had ubuntu installed+ Vbox(+XP) | 05:02 |
|---|
| Scunizi | papuccino1, do you have to have all the bells and whistles turned on? | 05:02 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Scunizi: System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Settings | 05:02 |
|---|
| amenado | Seraph-> associate meant it has established a handshake and connected whereby the ap gives you and ip address and communicate with the ap | 05:02 |
|---|
| badkitty | danbhfive: I suppose it might say that in the manual... but the tutorials SHOULD have that too ... wheres my pacifier? | 05:02 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | pocketdrummer: Its something I like to throw at Windows fanatics when they babble about hardware support. | 05:03 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Scunizi, no, I only have the ones I like for instance, while holding the windows key and mousewheel up I zoom in dynamically. WHICH IS SUPER USEFUL. | 05:03 |
|---|
| amenado | Seraph-> perhaps a tutorial on what is a wireless connection is in order for you.. | 05:03 |
|---|
| danbhfive | badkitty: I only use mysql for drupal, and it was in the directions I followed, maybe you need some ubuntu specific tutorials | 05:03 |
|---|
| jokie51 | ok theres no freakin way in h*ll i cankeep up with all the questions | 05:03 |
|---|
| Scunizi | papuccino1, yes I use that too.. can I make any window negative? It's not working in xchat | 05:03 |
|---|
| jokie51 | if people have something to ask me please pm it to me | 05:03 |
|---|
| jokie51 | so much to answer, so little time :P | 05:03 |
|---|
| jokie51 | im only 1 person. | 05:03 |
|---|
| badkitty | danbhfive: Thats where I found them.. on UBUNTU sites! anyhow, you like drupal better than Joomla? | 05:04 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Maybe you don't have it activated. | 05:04 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | infinito_: enabling compiz Macifies your windows? Did you install compiz separately or is it the one that comes with Ubuntu? | 05:04 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Scunizi, search for it in the Gnome Compiz Manager. | 05:04 |
|---|
| Scunizi | papuccino1, never mind I found it.. in ccsm.. nice! | 05:04 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | pocketdrummer: Its always sad when someone is new and no one can help because the hardware maker is a jackass about support... I mean here is someone trying something new and through no fault of their own, can't get it running | 05:04 |

| papuccino1 | Scunizi, how about it huh? Incredible, so much easier on the eyes. -cries- | 05:04 |
|---|
| Scunizi | papuccino1, reminds me of irssi | 05:04 |
|---|
| j1solutions | hello all | 05:05 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Ok, see ya gotta go | 05:05 |
|---|
| danbhfive | badkitty: yeah, im stuck on drupal too. I made a custom module for it. But, I found drupal simpler in its layout. I remember a contest between a bunch of them, and drupal and joomla tied | 05:05 |
|---|
| ninjabob7 | is anyone knowledgeable about opengl? | 05:05 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | cptnapalm: Actually, I'm in the middle of that exact issue right now. I have a Creative X-Fi that just WON'T work properly. | 05:05 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | ninjabob7: John Carmack of iD software? ;) | 05:05 |
|---|
| Scunizi | ninjabob7, ask a definitive question .. get a devinitive answer :) | 05:05 |
|---|
| ninjabob7 | anyone in here, that is? | 05:05 |
|---|
| badkitty | danbhfive: Oh.. I just found more support for joomla, and easier to get it started .. could be different now? Who knows...Joomla is great though.. The just had a new relase too | 05:06 |
|---|
| ninjabob7 | because I'm not sure if this issue is a bug in the game or something fixable | 05:06 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | pocketdrummer: Which is odd.. as Creative are the same people that came up with OpenAL so as NOT to have to deal with multitudes of different audio architecture | 05:06 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I can't get VM to start | 05:06 |
|---|
| Scunizi | badkitty, do you know of any online tutorials for changing the theme in joomla? or creating your own? | 05:06 |
|---|

|---|
| Thug-life | http://weejewel.net/wubuntu/boot.htm | 05:07 |
|---|
| badkitty | Scunizi: To change the theme, you download new ones and install them into the directory .. To make your own, the best way is to be a CSS and PHP god.. if not, they have some software you can use to give the basic syntax for what is required, then you can fill in the rest using html or some WYSIWYG tool | 05:08 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | you around, badkitty? | 05:08 |

| badkitty | Yah | 05:08 |

| eu4ea | In vlc I don't get any sound when playing avi files, I have install all of the plugins for vlc, but still nothing, can anyone help? | 05:08 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | cptnapalm: Up until earlier this month, they didn't even have a working driver (which sorta works with OSS... sorta). It's a little depressing considering the Audigy 2 ZS I got rid of worked perfectly. | 05:08 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | thinman1189: what does ifconfig -a give you in the console? | 05:08 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | Thug-life: Please do not post a link without a description of the problem | 05:08 |
|---|
| Infinito_ | pocketdrummer, it's the one that comes with ubuntu, yes it does.. and well, I installed emerald too although the themes are not working.. The windows changing thing happened when I clicked on "GL Desktop", immediately some conflict wtih compiz came up, compiz was disabled. I enabled it again, but the windows thing remained :( | 05:08 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | badkitty: getting errors when I try to start a vm | 05:08 |

| _Oz_ | badkitty: I did | 05:08 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | pocketdrummer: Damn that does suck... | 05:08 |

| erich | Hello, I recently installed an SB Audigy 2 ZS soundcard but now the only sound I get is in xmms, which does sound really good and the surround even works, anyone know why it only works in xmms? | 05:09 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Infinito_: You know, last time I tried to go beyond the default Compiz settings provided in Ubuntu, I bricked the OS. Scary stuff for me. | 05:09 |
|---|
| badkitty | BRB folks!! | 05:10 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | wow | 05:10 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | my machine is now massively messed up | 05:10 |
|---|
| bob__ | my last name is upandowninthewater | 05:10 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | something vm did made ubuntu very unhappy | 05:10 |
|---|
| IceGuest_75 | just a quick question 7.10 will not let me connect to the net shows the icon but no light on the router as it is not conecting.also this is my first instalation of ubuntu should i load 7.04 as I read there are very few problems with this version as far as conection issuses | 05:10 |
|---|
| monte | libdvdcss libdvdnav libdvdrea were do i go to get them ? | 05:10 |
|---|
| Scunizi | _Oz_, which vm manager are you using? | 05:10 |
|---|
| Infinito_ | pocketdrummer, yeah now I wish I haven't messed around with that :/ | 05:11 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | erich, try the bmpx [ player. - Its possible xmms is dupliocating the front speakers to the rear giving surround sound. | 05:11 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Ok, turns out I had a bad cable, and somehow the MBR got hosed. I've got that all fixed, and can boot again to my feisty install. However, I can't log in. Getting the "last sesion only lasted 10 seconds" bit. CtrlAtlF1 takes me to a terminal where I CAN log in, but the text is so big it's useless. Tried restarting gdm, to no avail | 05:11 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | virtualbox, scunizi | 05:11 |
|---|
| amenado | IceGuest_75-> what icon are you referring to? | 05:11 |
|---|
| thiemster | monte: have you tried apt-get? | 05:11 |
|---|
| K_dallas | Starnestommy, i dont seem to have that library. I have a few different ones with qt3 and qt4 which are already installed | 05:11 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | pocketdrummer: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ | 05:11 |
|---|
| erich | Maybe, but no sound works in any other programs at all | 05:11 |
|---|
| Scunizi | _Oz_, sorry I don't know that one.. I'm using vmware server.. pretty easy. | 05:11 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Igot an audigy 2Zs Sound works good for me in all my apps. | 05:11 |
|---|
| erich | Surround is not the issue | 05:11 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | yeah | 05:11 |
|---|
| monte | wat is apt-get? | 05:11 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I'm starting to think vmware is looking pretty good | 05:11 |
|---|
| amenado | craigbass1976-> try ctrl +alt+ - and see if it recyles through font sizes | 05:11 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | pocketdrummer: That is for the next time you make a change that causes issues | 05:11 |
|---|
| thiemster | monte:it's the way to install things in debian-based distros (look it up in wikipedia) | 05:11 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | monte, time to really read some of the ubuntu starter guides. :) | 05:11 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | !apt-get | monte | 05:12 |
|---|
| ubotu | monte: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 05:12 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Jack_Sparrow: O.O Does that actually work?! If so, you are my hero. | 05:12 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | YEs it works | 05:12 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | monte: search for them in the repositories. There will be a file which installs with libdvdread (I think) that you run and that will install libdvdcss2 | 05:12 |
|---|
| Scunizi | monte, apt-get is what you use at the command line to install packages. | 05:12 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Jack_Sparrow: You are my hero! | 05:12 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | amenado, no love there | 05:12 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | pocketdrummer: You do lose your icons on the taskbar but everything else is factory fresh | 05:12 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | ugh | 05:12 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | ubuntu no longer boots | 05:12 |
|---|
| Jangari | can someone tell me how to get libmp3lame? | 05:12 |
|---|
| monte | o see i kno wat synaptic is lol.... | 05:12 |
|---|
| Scunizi | _Oz_, with server you can install any os from cd or iso. with player you're limited to preconfigured vm's | 05:13 |
|---|
| thiemster | monte: (example command "sudo apt-get install libdvdcss") | 05:13 |
|---|
| uhohzombies | any idea why gutsy x64 will not install? i386 works fine as long as i choose safe graphics mode, but x64 reboots upon kernal direct mapping tables | 05:13 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | wow, that was a spectacular failure. everyone: recommending you DO NOT install virtualbox | 05:13 |
|---|
| amenado | craigbass1976-> try to remove splash from your grub | 05:13 |
|---|
| Omlette | Jangari: sudo apttitude install libmp3lame | 05:13 |
|---|
| Omlette | I think. | 05:13 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Eh? | 05:13 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | I've also noticed that the date is march 2005 | 05:13 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | monte: Just look for them in synaptic. Should be there | 05:13 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | hey can anyone help me with some server quesions? | 05:13 |
|---|
| amenado | _Oz_-> ahem, not everyone, i like virtual box | 05:13 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | I'm new with command line | 05:13 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | yet the motherboard knows the right date... not sure if this is important | 05:13 |
|---|
| monte | i tryed and there not | 05:13 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | I just need to update my web page file but I don't know how to | 05:13 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | amenado: it just hosed my entire ubuntu install | 05:13 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Holmes89, perhaps. WHat's the issue | 05:14 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | good lord | 05:14 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | Infinito_: Did you see the post to pocketdrummer? | 05:14 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | dunno how, but it did | 05:14 |
|---|
| monte | only one in there close to it is libdv4 | 05:14 |
|---|
| amenado | _Oz_-> what were you doing? | 05:14 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Holmes89, you can vi it | 05:14 |
|---|
| uhohzombies | better yet, is there any worthwhile reason to use x64, despite having a 64 bit processor | 05:14 |
|---|
| Scunizi | Holmes89, web page file? you mean index.htm | 05:14 |
|---|
| Jangari | grr, i must not have the right repos set up for the lame encoder | 05:14 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | vi? | 05:14 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | amenado: just following the install instructions is all. | 05:14 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | Holmes89: actually, vim. it's a text editor | 05:14 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | I don't think libmp3lame is in the repos... | 05:14 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | now ubuntu literally won't boot. insane | 05:14 |
|---|
| Jangari | Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "libmp3lame" | 05:14 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | yeah I want to copy my assets folder and all of my web pages I've made | 05:14 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Infinito_: In case you didn't see what Jack_Sparrow said, check this out, it's golden... http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ | 05:15 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | to the /var/www/ folder | 05:15 |
|---|
| amenado | _Oz_-> you were just installing and has it ever completed or you are still stuck on the install? | 05:15 |
|---|
| Scunizi | Holmes89, vi can be complicated for the first time user.. you could also use gedit.. | 05:15 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Starnestommy: I'm not sure vi is the best bet for someone who can't yet do basic shell stuff... | 05:15 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | it appeared to install ok | 05:15 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Holmes89, heh... command line text editor. Pretty much you type vi filename, hit i once you're in, do the edits, and hit Esc, then :wq to write and quit. If you screw up or get nervous, hit :q! instead to quit without writing | 05:15 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | cptnapalm: maybe emacs or nano | 05:15 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | how will I use gedit to do this though? | 05:15 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | it kept giving me an error msg when starting a vm | 05:15 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | so I rebooted | 05:15 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | and that's when all hell broke loose | 05:15 |
|---|
| Infinito_ | hm I'll look that up thx jack-desktop pocketdrummer | 05:15 |
|---|
| chubs730 | vim is nicer | 05:15 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Holmes89, is the web server in front of you, or remote? | 05:15 |
|---|
| jack-desktop | what Infinito_ ? | 05:15 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | in front | 05:16 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | pocketdrummer: THere is your test case but I have had two people here today alone that had this work for them, plus I tried it on my own system first for a test.. Yes it works | 05:16 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Starnestommy: If he's in X, then I'd recommend just using gedit... for the moment, to him... | 05:16 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | is vmware a little more robust and less prone to this kind of thing? | 05:16 |
|---|
| Scunizi | Holmes89, do you have a copy of index.html seperate from where it is on the server? | 05:16 |
|---|
| Infinito_ | jack-desktop, wrong guy sorry | 05:16 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | even if it's slower, I think I'd want something more stable even at a performance hit. | 05:16 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | I don't have an interface | 05:16 |
|---|
| Infinito_ | thx Jack_Sparrow | 05:16 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | I have it on a thumb drive | 05:16 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 05:16 |

| Jordan_U | when I try to use perl style regular expressions with grep ( grep --perl-regexp ) I get the error : "grep: The -P option is not supported" but it's in the man page as an option, is there something that I need to do to add support for this? | 05:16 |
|---|
| Scunizi | Holmes89, interface? you want to edit it live? | 05:16 |
|---|
| thiemster | can i dual boot windows 2000 (dell edition) with my already installed Ubuntu 7.10? | 05:16 |

| craigbass1976 | Oh, well you can just sudo chown -R holmes:holmes /var/www/ and you'll be able to use gedit and edit the files | 05:16 |
|---|
| chubs730 | thiemster: yes | 05:16 |
|---|
| Scunizi | thiemster, yes | 05:16 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | vboxdrv is apparently screwing up the boot | 05:17 |
|---|
| thiemster | chubs730: how? | 05:17 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | Infinito_: One line in cli and restart x, come right back and let us know when you are done | 05:17 |
|---|
| IceGuest_75 | ok should i install 7.04 to take care of my internet connection or try to fix 7.10? anyone | 05:17 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | I'm sorry I mean I am using just command line, I haven't installed a gui for the server | 05:17 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | linux won't boot except in low graphics mode | 05:17 |
|---|
| thiemster | chubs730: I tried it once and the windows 2000 installation failed | 05:17 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Jack_Sparrow: I've lost count of how many times I've reformatted to fix things. This is probably the best bit of information I've received in a looooong time. | 05:17 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | arrrrgh why'd I do this why why why | 05:17 |
|---|
| Scunizi | Holmes89, then vi or nano.. nano is simpler | 05:17 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Holmes89, then you'd either have to set up a nfs share so you could get at it from another box, or learn vi | 05:17 |
|---|
| chubs730 | thiemster: you'll have to partition beforehand in linux, using gparted | 05:17 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | thiemster, Be careful though, sometimes the OEM restore CD's reformat the entire drive | 05:17 |
|---|
| thiemster | chubs730: you mean with the gparted livecd? | 05:17 |
|---|
| chubs730 | thiemster: you'll most likely have to use the livecd yes | 05:18 |
|---|
| amenado | _Oz_-> not all can afford an high rez capable graphics card..twas designed to work with older machines | 05:18 |
|---|
| thiemster | chubs730: after i partition, do i just install windows 2000 the normal way? | 05:18 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | pocketdrummer: It is not for everything.. mostly things like messing up a theme or other settings in gnome | 05:18 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | I have ubuntu desktop installed as a separate partition on the computer I'm using as a server is there a way I can mount the drive to change the file? | 05:18 |
|---|
| chubs730 | thiemster: shrink your linux partition and format it to ntfs, and windows 2000 should recognize it and install | 05:18 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | amenado: tell that to the guys who built compiz-fusion | 05:18 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | :) | 05:18 |
|---|
| uhohzombies | my gutsy x64 install is rebooting my pc when 'kernel mapping tables', i can't get it to install. any ideas? is x64 even worth using over i386 for home desktop purposes? | 05:18 |
|---|
| jokie51 | hmm | 05:18 |
|---|
| thiemster | chubs730: is there anyway to do it without deleting all my linux stuff? | 05:18 |
|---|
| chubs730 | thiemster: and then you'll have to use the ubuntu livecd to rebuild grub, but that's fairly easy | 05:18 |
|---|
| supershort | how can i cancel all software installations | 05:18 |
|---|
| jokie51 | everyone can afford a "high rez graphics card" | 05:19 |
|---|
| jokie51 | heres an example. | 05:19 |
|---|
| Scunizi | !mount > Holmes | 05:19 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Jack_Sparrow: That's ok, it just gives me another option before throwing in the towel. | 05:19 |
|---|
| amenado | _Oz_-> compiz has a minimum, ubuntu install has much much less requirements | 05:19 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Holmes89, yes, nfs share is like windows sharing for linux. | 05:19 |
|---|
| Scunizi | !mount > Holmes89 | 05:19 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | _Oz_: Chill... look for a backup of your old xorg | 05:19 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | pocketdrummer, You almost never *need* to do a full reinstall to fix a problem | 05:19 |
|---|
| chubs730 | thiemster: yes, gparted will automatically do that for you, it shows you what you've used and you can just drag the space smaller | 05:19 |
|---|
| jokie51 | NVIDIA Geforce FX5900: $59 | 05:19 |
|---|
| jokie51 | lol | 05:19 |
|---|
| chubs730 | thiemster: unless you've used up almost all your disk space | 05:19 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | how, jack spar-- er, CAPTAIN jack sparrow? | 05:19 |
|---|
| jokie51 | capable of driving two 1920x1200 LCD's | 05:19 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | nfs share? how does that work? | 05:19 |
|---|
| thiemster | chubs730: nope, i haven't used up the space. i still have about 50 gigabytes left | 05:19 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | Jordan_U: Hi, did you have a help page for the bcm943xx cards? | 05:19 |

| Munchkinguy | How can I stop mplayerplug.in from opening in its own window? | 05:20 |

|---|
| ubotu | Jack_Sparrow: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 05:20 |
|---|
| thiemster | chubs730: thanks for your advice, i'll try it again one of these days | 05:20 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | Jordan_U: Not the same card | 05:20 |
|---|
| chubs730 | thiemster: yeah that'll be fine then, just boot into gparted, shrink your ext2 or ext3 or whatever you're using for ubuntu, and then format the blank space as ntfs | 05:20 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | Jack_Sparrow, Sorry, misread | 05:20 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | _Oz_: Are you in gui.. low res? | 05:20 |
|---|
| chubs730 | thiemster: no problem | 05:20 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Scunizi, hey, I've never tried nano before. Thanks for the tip | 05:20 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Jordan_U: Well, sometimes something happens where programs stop working. Like deskbar died and wouldn't come back, Ardour would close itself after opening. Things like that. Reinstalling and even completely removing and reinstalling didn't work. Do you guys know how to fix things like that? | 05:20 |
|---|
| Scunizi | Holmes89, why did you create a seperate partion for the server install. you could have included that with the normal Ubuntu install or done it in a virtual machine.. | 05:20 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | Jack_Sparrow, I don't now but let me look a second | 05:20 |
|---|
| Scunizi | craigbass1976, np.. it's saved me several times. | 05:21 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | Jordan_U: dont bother | 05:21 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | Jordan_U: I mistook you for someone else.. | 05:21 |
|---|
| supershort | it says this 'setting up vnccommon' and it does nothing but stop me from installing other shit | 05:21 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | because I'm only testing out the software, getting used to it so when I'm finally able to make a server I'll know what to do | 05:21 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Scunizi, I've just been using vi the whole time. Nano's neat though. | 05:21 |
|---|
| === IceGuest_75 is now known as spud213 |
| amenado | craigbass1976-> if you ever get stuck with editing a text file, ed is always available | 05:21 |

| Jack_Sparrow | _Oz_: Fire up thunar or nautilus and look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dateofbackup | 05:21 |
|---|
| Scunizi | craigbass1976, I tried vi once but I didn't have a referance handy for how to save and exit.. really frustrating. | 05:22 |

| ubotu | supershort: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 05:22 |
|---|
| prohna | so that i can install this xchat-babelfish script? | 05:22 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | then what, jack? | 05:22 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | You know, there is one thing that I still have a problem fixing that you guys might know more about. Whenever I edit xorg.conf hit F7, my video goes into Low-Quality mode or Low-res mode or something like that. Do you know what could be wrong? | 05:22 |
|---|
| supershort | i asked the question | 05:22 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Ok Im back | 05:22 |
|---|
| supershort | it says this 'setting up vnccommon' and it does nothing but stop me from installing other shit | 05:22 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | what do I do with nfs ? | 05:22 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | badkitty: virtualbox VERY BAD | 05:22 |
|---|
| Scunizi | pocketdrummer, restart x with ctrl+alt+backspace.. might fix it. | 05:23 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | _Oz_: Copy it over the existing xorg.conf after saving the current one of course | 05:23 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: How is that? | 05:23 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | it hosed me | 05:23 |

|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: wouldn't boot because of vbox? Thats ridiculous.. what did you do? | 05:23 |
|---|
| supershort | how can i fix the problem tho | 05:23 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Scunizi: I've actually tried rebooting altogether, but it doesn't work. I have to restore xorg.conf from xorg.conf_backup. | 05:23 |
|---|
| chubs730 | supershort: you may have to manually uninstall vnccommon, unless you really need it | 05:23 |
|---|
| supershort | how i do that | 05:23 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Scunizi, yeah, especially if you were in vi and not vim. Vi kind of blows | 05:24 |
|---|
| Scunizi | pocketdrummer, do what are you editing that's making the difference? | 05:24 |
|---|
| erich | Is there a way I can reconfigure the installed codecs? I installed a new soundcard and now I only have sound in xmms | 05:24 |

|---|
| papuccino1 | Hm... there's three choices for the IDLE python enviroment. Which should I choose? | 05:25 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | acee1234: Common problem is wrong v/h refresh rates in the xorg | 05:25 |
|---|
| chubs730 | papuccino1: what do you mean? | 05:25 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | scunizi, the mouse configuration, surprisingly. I have a G7 Mouse and I'm trying to get all the buttons to work. Right now, I'm using btnx (which halfway works). | 05:25 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: What kind of card is it? | 05:25 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | There's : 2.4 and 2.5 (both maintaned the Ubuntu community) and then there's 2.5 maintained by Canonical LTD. | 05:25 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | halp! | 05:25 |
|---|
| supershort | so | 05:25 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Sorry didn't explain well. There's three in the Repositories. | 05:25 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | badkitty: all I did was follow the instructions, then ubuntu wouldn't boot when I rebooted | 05:25 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Applications> Add/Remove | 05:26 |
|---|
| acee1234 | cptnapalm: ati x1400 | 05:26 |
|---|
| chubs730 | papuccino1: ahh, IDLE isn't vital, but 2.5 community or canonical should be fine | 05:26 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | it was that driver package I think | 05:26 |
|---|
| Scunizi | pocketdrummer, can't help with the specifics but now you know that there is an error in what you're trying to do. | 05:26 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I got it booted back up but all of my gfx settings are gone | 05:26 |
|---|
| acee1234 | Jack_Sparrow: solution? | 05:26 |
|---|
| chubs730 | papuccino: unless you have python 2.4 of course | 05:26 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: know the make and model of the monitor? | 05:26 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | chubs: what do you mean isn't vital? Please explain a bit, I know I can still program in Terminal, is that what you mean? | 05:26 |

|---|
| acee1234 | cptnapalm: laptop um..... dell e1505 | 05:26 |
|---|
| Holmes89 | I'm confused about what this can do for me | 05:26 |
|---|
| amenado | _Oz_-> stop trolling | 05:26 |
|---|
| owen1 | Scunizi: thanks | 05:27 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: That is very strange...Seriously Ive never had a problem with it.. I'll even make a screen shot of it if you want | 05:27 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I am not trolling. | 05:27 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | acee1234: Same difference.. | 05:27 |
|---|
| chubs730 | papuccino1: well, IDLE is simply a text editor geared towards python | 05:27 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: hrrm... | 05:27 |
|---|
| erich | I installed a new soundcard and now I only have sound in xmms, any idea what might cause this? | 05:27 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | papuccino1, i downloaded a gtk theme, but its in a bunch of folders, how do i get it in a .emeralrd file? | 05:27 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | hey, how do I edit xorg.conf and save it as root? | 05:27 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | chubs: So IDLE is simply like Gedit? All it does is provide color syntax for Python? | 05:27 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | using text editor in the gui? | 05:27 |
|---|
| chubs730 | papuccino1: it may actually suit you better to use another IDE, because IDLE does a few things for you taht are unconventional | 05:27 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | _Oz_: You are not trolling, but you are on a bit of a rant.. And I am your buddy telling you this | 05:27 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | chubs: Recommendations perhaps? | 05:28 |
|---|
| chubs730 | papuccino1: yes almost, but it also has a terminal to test python code | 05:28 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Anybody remember what that app is that lets you choose your monitor from a bunch of presets? | 05:28 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | _Oz_, I open a terminal, type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:28 |
|---|
| chubs730 | papuccino1: i use geany | 05:28 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | Yeah, it's just that damn virtualbox... I had this install set up perfectly... I was just really annoyed that it messed me up so badly, | 05:28 |
|---|
| Seraph | If you're trying to connect to a WEP manually, how can you select Password/Passphrase, as opposed to Hex or ASCII? | 05:28 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | cptnapalm: somewhere in System > Administration | 05:28 |
|---|
| acee1234 | ok nother issue if i try to restart x only my background shows and the comp freezes | 05:28 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | But I've got it under control. :) | 05:28 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | j_humphry: Open emerald, and choose import. Browse to the location and hopefully you'll see it there to import. | 05:28 |
|---|
| Scunizi | Holmes89, nano is for editing files that you can get to. It won't copy anything. You can mount the other partition and get to it. I just can't explain exactly how to do that. | 05:28 |
|---|
| monte | libdvdcss/libdvdnav/libdvdread were do i find them they are not listed in the synaptic so were else or how do i do it | 05:28 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | j_humphry: If the file is comatible... | 05:28 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | _Oz_: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg or gksudo thunar | 05:28 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | chubs: Is that how you spell it "geany" | 05:28 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | _Oz_: open a command line and sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:28 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure /etc/X11/xorg.conf ??? | 05:29 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Has anyone else run into the "session only lasted 10 seconds" message? I've been reading around and haven't found theright answer yet | 05:29 |
|---|
| chubs730 | papuccino1: and simply running python "codething" in the terminal will get you the interactive thing just like idle | 05:29 |
|---|
| amenado | Seraph-> you have already proven you can associate and connect using plaing text ie without wep/wpa/leal encryption? | 05:29 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Or you just want to edit it? | 05:29 |
|---|
| spud213 | thanks all for all your help very useful | 05:29 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Starnestommy: Ah, found it. Thanks | 05:29 |
|---|
| craigbass1976 | Oh man, it's 12:30. Forget I asked--- I'll look into it tomorrow | 05:29 |
|---|
| Seraph | amenado: Yes. | 05:29 |
|---|
| chubs730 | papuccino1: yeah, just look in the repos (add/remove programs) at IDE's | 05:29 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | how can I rename the backup file to the current file | 05:29 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | using the terminal? | 05:29 |
|---|
| acee1234 | brb | 05:29 |
|---|
| badkitty | sudo cp name of old file name of new file | 05:29 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | What's the difference between sudo and gksudo? | 05:29 |
|---|
| chubs730 | papuccino1: synaptic will have more too | 05:29 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | pocketdrummer: gksudo is graphical | 05:30 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo Very Important | 05:30 |
|---|
| chubs730 | pocketdrummer: sudo is commandline, gksudo is graphical | 05:30 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: Ok, try this (No guarantees though) Open System>Administration>Screen and Graphics | 05:30 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 05:30 |
|---|
| ubotu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 05:30 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:30 |
|---|
| amenado | Seraph-> next is to find out if your wifi driver supports such encryption, read up from the vendors web site about its capabilities | 05:30 |
|---|
| acee1234 | cptnapalm: ok | 05:30 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | chubs: Yeah I know you can run Python in terminal, but having to write "python test.py" everytime I want to test a module is troubling.... | 05:30 |
|---|
| owen1 | i want to connect pc to tv. do i need to do anything other than connecting the cables? | 05:30 |
|---|

|---|
| badkitty | pocketdrummer: AFAIK gk is used for graphical operations sudo is for command line | 05:30 |

|---|
| pocketdrummer | Jack_Sparrow, So, just to be sure, you need the ! before gksudo, correct? | 05:31 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | uhohzombies, To that last question, probably not | 05:32 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: I'm going to go see if I can find out what kind of screen your model has. BRB | 05:32 |

| Jordan_U | papuccino1, If you put "#!/usr/bin/env perl" or simply "#!/usr/bin/perl" at the beginning of a text file and set the permissions to executable with chmod then the shell will pass that file to python if you to to "execute" the file, if you put "#!/usr/bin/env perl" it will try to run it with perl | 05:36 |

|---|
| owen1 | Scunizi: i need svideo cables, right? | 05:38 |

|---|
| _Oz_ | I am going to start this ubuntu install over again from scratch | 05:39 |
|---|
| Scunizi | owen1, depends on your video card and tv input.. my tv has a vga input and hdmi which is basically the same as dvi. adaptor needed. | 05:39 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | something's majorly wrong | 05:39 |
|---|
| LinuxMercedes | ubd: Take apart your laptop, get some canned air, and clean the dust out | 05:39 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | luckily I was just fooling around with that install | 05:39 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | for compiz effects | 05:39 |
|---|
| rainwalker | _Oz_: fresh installs FTW | 05:39 |
|---|
| owen1 | Scunizi: i have nvidia. | 05:39 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | _Oz_, Can you pastebin your sources.lst? | 05:39 |
|---|
| ubd | laptop is brand new | 05:39 |
|---|
| Scunizi | owen1, on the computer.. but what kind of input jacks do you have on the tv? | 05:39 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | FTW? | 05:40 |
|---|
| ubd | heating problem about cpu frequency handlers but i coulnd understand how to solve the problem | 05:40 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | jordan, thanks for the offer to help, but that wasn't my main problem | 05:40 |
|---|
| owen1 | Scunizi: it looks like 2 small rounded holes. | 05:40 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | _Oz_, Specifically, is the first non-commented line "default 0" | 05:40 |
|---|
| neeto | I asked this in #apache to no avail, so I'm gonna try my luck here: on apache, how do you get your server to list hidden files over HTTP? | 05:40 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | ? | 05:40 |
|---|
| owen1 | Scunizi: i think it's svideo? | 05:40 |
|---|
| rainwalker | _Oz_: For The Win | 05:40 |
|---|
| densone | is there a good guide on manually partitioning ? | 05:40 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | ah. :) | 05:41 |
|---|
| ubd | therer utilities like cpudyn etc but synaptic doesnt let me o install them to keep another program | 05:41 |
|---|
| owen1 | Scunizi: maybe it's 3 holes. | 05:41 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: Still there? | 05:41 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Hmm Yeha I am booting Backtrack2 right now from my virtualbox | 05:41 |
|---|
| monte | scunizi: that website u gave me worked but it got half way and broke it say i ahve to broken packages how do i fix it | 05:41 |
|---|
| LinuxMercedes | ubd: ok, well, that's weird. Not sure what's wrong. (although I can personally attest to cleaning the air ducts when your laptop overheats =]) | 05:41 |
|---|
| prohna | cpan apparently needs root | 05:41 |
|---|
| Scunizi | owen1, is it a standard tv or lcd tv? svideo is a round jack with multiple holes in it. probaby 3-5 holes.. do yo have svideo out on the video card.? | 05:41 |
|---|
| prohna | how do i do that from terminal? | 05:41 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | badkitty: I think it must have been compiz not playing nicely with vm | 05:41 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I guess | 05:41 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | prohna: sudo cpan | 05:41 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Does anyone have any Experience with Networking? | 05:41 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | !anyone | pocketdrummer | 05:42 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | because it came back with lots of video problems | 05:42 |
|---|
| ubotu | pocketdrummer: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 05:42 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | pocketdrummer: what sort? | 05:42 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I can't get my nvidia drivers back | 05:42 |
|---|
| Scunizi | monte, i think there is an option in synaptic to check for broken packages and fix them.. | 05:42 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: But I have the same compiz that you do.. what type of card do you have? | 05:42 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | nvidia geforce 7600 | 05:42 |
|---|
| monte | o does anyone no were that is in the synaptic | 05:42 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Mines a 7800 .. basically same card | 05:42 |
|---|
| rainwalker | prohna: to use admin (root) privileges in the terminal, do "sudo" and then the command | 05:42 |
|---|
| Scunizi | pocketdrummer, what's the question? | 05:42 |
|---|
| monte | for broken packages | 05:42 |
|---|
| thiemster | is there any way to start an X display from the command line? | 05:42 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | _Oz_, I assume you are trying to run compiz / use the nvidia drivers in the host OS and not the guest? | 05:42 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | there are lots of setting in compiz though | 05:42 |
|---|
| badkitty | monte: what are you looking for? | 05:42 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I had mine running pretty hot | 05:43 |
|---|
| monte | broken packes | 05:43 |
|---|
| owen1 | Scunizi: it's standard tv. and no, i don't have svideo according to your description. | 05:43 |
|---|
| monte | packages | 05:43 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Well, I'm trying to network a windows XP computer with my Ubuntu computer here. The XP computer has the Printer, and I want to be able to access it over the network. | 05:43 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | running the desktop cube, transparency, all kinds of stuff | 05:43 |
|---|
| badkitty | thiemster: try startx | 05:43 |
|---|
| gandhii | where are the icon files stored? I'd like to change the icon for a link and am not sure where to look for other system icons. | 05:43 |
|---|
| Scunizi | owen1, don't bother. it won't hook to it and actually display anything. | 05:43 |
|---|
| thiemster | badkitty: thx | 05:43 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | pocketdrummer: very easy | 05:43 |
|---|
| chubs730 | pocketdrummer: samba is your savior | 05:43 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | just go to "printing" in system -> administration | 05:43 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | thiemster, Yes, startx, xinit or "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" depending on what exactly you want to start along with X | 05:44 |
|---|
| Scunizi | pocketdrummer, what you're interested in is samba.. I'll see if ubutu can help | 05:44 |
|---|
| owen1 | Scunizi: i didn't understand your last message... | 05:44 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | you don't even need samba to print to an xp machine from ubuntu, though | 05:44 |
|---|
| Scunizi | !samba | pocketdrummer | 05:44 |
|---|
| ubotu | pocketdrummer: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 05:44 |

|---|
| monte | badkitty: were do i go to fix broken packages or does anyone kno | 05:44 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Thanks, I'll give it a look. :D | 05:44 |
|---|
| badkitty | monte: I think you can do it from the command line.. but I dont know off hand Jordan_U? | 05:45 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | monte, Broken in what way? Are you trying to file a bug or fix a problem on your own computer only? | 05:45 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | monte: I think its sudo apt-get -f install | 05:45 |
|---|
| Scunizi | owen1, if your computer has a standard monitor output and your tv doesn't have svideo or hdmi or a vga input you won't be able to hook up to it. It simply won't convert the signals correctly IF you could find a cable. | 05:45 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | monte: but I might be wrong | 05:45 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | badkitty, Do what? | 05:45 |
|---|
| thiemster | Do ti-calculators (especially ti-84+ SE) work with ubuntu? | 05:45 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | monte: but I don't think it would hurt anything at any rate. | 05:46 |
|---|
| badkitty | Jordan_U: Hey what are the differences in stating x that you gave earlier | 05:46 |
|---|
| chubs730 | monte: if your package manager is totally hose go for sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install | 05:46 |
|---|
| === macogw_ is now known as macogw |
| monte | his is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'. | 05:46 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | compiz is the only logical explanation, badkitty. I'm seeing lots of people have been using virtualbox without too much problem but I've seen in several places now (forums, tutorials, etc) everyone says don't use compiz with virtualbox. | 05:46 |
|---|
| machrider | i'm trying to install ircd-hybrid with SSL support. can anyone help me? | 05:46 |
|---|
| monte | thats wat it says in the add remoe thing when i try to get in it | 05:46 |
|---|
| machrider | out of the box, it doesn't appear to support SSL | 05:46 |
|---|
| chubs730 | monte: try my previous advice | 05:47 |
|---|
| chubs730 | monte: sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install | 05:47 |
|---|
| chubs730 | in a terminal | 05:47 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | monte: Try sudo apt-get -f install | 05:47 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Hmm I dont buy it... Maybe I am just extremely lucky but all I had to do was sudp apt-get install virtualbox.. then add myself to the vbox user group and wahlah | 05:47 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | monte: or ignore me and do what chubs730 says :) | 05:47 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | badkitty: what other reason could there be? I mean it totally trashed my install | 05:48 |
|---|
| monte | lol its working | 05:48 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I am reinstalling from scratch right now on the computer that went down | 05:48 |
|---|
| monte | thx | 05:48 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | badkitty, xinit starts just X and xterm, no window manager now desktop environment ( you can't even move / resize the xterm window ), startx starts a gnome ( or whatever default DM ) session ( basically the same as xinit then running "gnome-session" ) "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" starts the GDM login screen that you get when you boot normally | 05:48 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: And I have a ton of other stuff running too like compiz, avant window navigato, screenlets.. | 05:48 |
|---|
| chubs730 | monte: np | 05:48 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | and it has been advised repeatedly that you should not use compiz and virtualbox... | 05:48 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | well, you might have a "lucky" combination of compiz features running while vb is running | 05:48 |
|---|

|---|
| gandhii | where are the icon files stored? I'd like to change the icon for a link and am not sure where to look for other system icons. | 05:49 |
|---|
| badkitty | Jordan_U: Wow thanks.. I guess I should learn that one with gdm start | 05:49 |
|---|
| chubs730 | ctnapalm: hand editing, slackware, the good old days | 05:49 |
|---|
| monte | lol thats funny | 05:49 |
|---|
| badkitty | Jordan_U: Than Again, I am still reliant of the GUI but I do alot of work in terminal windows | 05:49 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | badkitty, np | 05:50 |
|---|
| machrider | my question in general is: do ubuntu packages *have* options? | 05:50 |
|---|
| rainwalker | gandhii: check in your .themes folder in your home directory, in each theme's folder, or look in /usr/share/pixmaps | 05:50 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | chubs730: hand editing, clueless luser.... ;) | 05:50 |
|---|
| machrider | and how do you see what the options are? | 05:50 |
|---|
| BloodyScum | i know this is a stupid question, sence iv been useing ubuntu for years... but i just removed my trash can from my bar and i cant figure out how to put it back.. | 05:50 |

| Scunizi | machrider, sometimes synaptic will recommend optional packages. but to answer you.. generally no.. options for a program are changed after install in the .conf file for that program. | 05:51 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | machrider, Yes, not nearly as extensive as those of Gentoo if that is what you are wondering, and not for all packages, but you can change them with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure <package>" | 05:51 |

| cptnapalm | acee1234: Ah, was wondering where you went. Ok, got that thing open? | 05:52 |
|---|
| acee1234 | cptnapalm: it is using restricted drivers and direct render returns yes | 05:52 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | badkitty: it's ok, I don't mind reinstalling it all too much | 05:52 |
|---|
| acee1234 | cptnapalm: yes | 05:52 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | it's THIS computer that I'm currently on that I've set up for productivity | 05:52 |
|---|
| devnull | hmm, i did a brief google search, but is anyone familiar with a linux irc program that implements a single window multiple pane mdi type interface similar to (dare i say it) mirc? | 05:52 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Ok, maybe you can try qemu or vmware | 05:52 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: so 3d is good to go just resolution silliness? | 05:52 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | that computer has an XP/ubuntu dual boot and I don't really need ubuntu on it | 05:52 |
|---|
| LinuxMercedes | devnull: try xchat | 05:53 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Although i cant believe yours got messed up.. You were running gutsy? | 05:53 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | badkitty: I'll probably try virtualbox again just without the compiz | 05:53 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | yes, gutsy | 05:53 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | machrider, It's not, that is a compile time option ( though you can grab and rebuild the source package with apt-get source , not as convenient as Gentoo but not too hard and better integrated than installing from a source tar file ) | 05:53 |
|---|
| Scunizi | devnull, irssi, xchat, bitchx | 05:53 |
|---|
| chubs730 | cptnapalm: hah yeah i remember when i first started on linux and after failing miserably at things decided it was time to "rtfm" | 05:53 |
|---|
| acee1234 | cptnapalm: yes | 05:53 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Did you reconfigure xorg and everything | 05:53 |
|---|
| devnull | i am using gnome-xchat, is it capable of anything other than the default tabbed interface? | 05:53 |
|---|
| machrider | Jordan_U: ok, i'll do that. thanks. | 05:53 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | devnull, use regular xchat, not gnome-xchat | 05:53 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | machrider, np | 05:53 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | chubs730: Favorite sig of all time: WWJD? JWRTFM! | 05:53 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I just copied the backup xorg over the current xorg | 05:53 |
|---|
| devnull | i am wanting to be able to view all my channels at the same time | 05:53 |
|---|
| devnull | ok i will try that | 05:53 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | and it was still bollocks | 05:53 |
|---|
| chubs730 | cptnapalm: haha, i've never seen that | 05:54 |
|---|
| Scunizi | devnull, would you like to see multiple connections at once.. ? irssi from the command line does it well. | 05:54 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | how do i use emerald to install themes? | 05:54 |
|---|
| devnull | dont really care about multiple connections, just multiple windows | 05:54 |
|---|
| devnull | err channels | 05:54 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: ok, what we're going to try is to select generic from the list on the right | 05:54 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | devnull, right click on the channel tab or w/e and hit "Detach Tab" | 05:54 |
|---|
| Scunizi | devnull, that's actually what I ment.. | 05:54 |
|---|
| chubs730 | devnull: i'm using gnome-xchat with multiple channels right now | 05:54 |
|---|
| acee1234 | cptnapalm: dont see generic option | 05:54 |
|---|
| chubs730 | devnull: unless you mean different channels in different tabs | 05:55 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: Ok, click where it says model | 05:55 |
|---|
| chubs730 | devnull: they're on the left side | 05:55 |
|---|
| acee1234 | cptnapalm: ok | 05:55 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: scroll up to the top on the left pane | 05:55 |
|---|
| Scunizi | devnull, for irssi.. it can be loaded sudo apt-get irssi then check out http://linuxreviews.org/software/irc/irssi/ | 05:55 |
|---|
| devnull | different channels in different windows so to speak. able to see all individual channel conversations at the same time | 05:55 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | devnull, do what i told you, you can detach the tabs from xchat | 05:55 |
|---|
| devnull | and being the lazyass that i am, i am more interested in a graphical solution than a console one :) | 05:56 |
|---|
| chubs730 | devnull: ahh, i see, no idea if it can do that, ignore me | 05:56 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: top selection should be generic in bold | 05:56 |
|---|
| acee1234 | cptnapalm: only generic listed is on the left screen but yes | 05:56 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | devnull, i dont know if gnome-xchat can, from what ive heard its kinda dumbed down, but regular xchat can | 05:56 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Are you sure it copied it over? You didn't try to reconfigure | 05:56 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: ok, click that. | 05:56 |
|---|
| acee1234 | cptnapalm: ok | 05:56 |
|---|
| devnull | it looks like gnome-xchat cant, i will install the regular xchat | 05:56 |
|---|
| Scunizi | MasterShrek, after detaching how do you reattach? | 05:56 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: now in the right window should start off with LCD panels | 05:57 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | Scunizi, no idea, i never do it heh | 05:57 |
|---|
| acee1234 | cptnapalm: yes | 05:57 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | badkitty: yeah, I tried to reconfigure. everything in ubuntu was majorly messed up. I couldn't load any drivers... video refused to get out of low res... nothing worked. | 05:57 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | scroll down until you see LCD Panel 1680x1050 | 05:57 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | it was like an atom bomb going off in there, or something. | 05:57 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | Scunizi, xchat > attach window | 05:57 |
|---|
| acee1234 | ok | 05:57 |
|---|
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky |
| _Oz_ | it's ok, I'm over it. | 05:57 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: wow thats nuts man... when was the last reboot? | 05:57 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | hmm... 15 mins ago maybe | 05:58 |
|---|
| devnull | next irc q, know of anything that can do blowfish encryption? :P | 05:58 |
|---|
| Scunizi | MasterShrek, ah I knew there was an easy answer! | 05:58 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I knew I was playing with fire with compiz, that's why I set it up on a computer that was nonessential | 05:58 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | no big deal | 05:58 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Strange, well anyhow I guess just don't run it while compiz is running.. | 05:58 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1234: scroll down until you see LCD Panel 1680x1050 | 05:58 |
|---|
| Scunizi | devnull, http://www.usinglinux.org/irc/irssi-fish.html | 05:58 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Haha .. I only had problems with it in edgy when I had to install the nvidia drivers manually | 05:59 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | badkitty: really appreciate all of your help, that's one of the things that make ubuntu great, the ubuntu community | 05:59 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: For sure.. I learn so much just from gleaming what people say in this room | 05:59 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Is there a way to force your mouse's sample rate to stay at 500? | 06:00 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I need to start learning some command line basics | 06:00 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I'm really good at copying at pasting into the terminal window | 06:00 |
|---|
| Scunizi | devnull, once you learn about irssi then learn about screen.. can be really powerful stuff. | 06:00 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | but I need to learn what the hell it all means | 06:00 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | !bash | _Oz_ | 06:00 |
|---|
| ubotu | _Oz_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 06:00 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | pocketdrummer: no clue... but I'm curious why that would be something you need to do | 06:00 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Don't worry it will come with time trust me | 06:00 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | :) | 06:00 |
|---|
| devnull | oh i am quite familiar with screen and console apps :) | 06:00 |
|---|
| chubs730 | oz: cd, ls, mkdir, renmov are all you need | 06:00 |
|---|
| chubs730 | kinda | 06:00 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | my biggest discomfort at this point comes from simply not understanding, exactly, the file structure | 06:01 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I don't understand where things go when they're installed | 06:01 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | in windows, it's simple | 06:01 |
|---|
| devnull | i finally broke down and swapped my ati card for an nvidia card, so i am ready to make an attempt at using linux full time on the desktop | 06:01 |
|---|
| chubs730 | /usr/bin | 06:01 |
|---|
| chubs730 | :) | 06:01 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | they go in c:/program files and some dlls get dumped into /windows | 06:01 |
|---|
| devnull | only game i really play is wow | 06:01 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | chubs730: Don't forget the learning by extreme pain example: rm -R / heh | 06:01 |
|---|
| Scunizi | _Oz_, sort of simple in windows.. | 06:01 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | in linux, I have no friggin' idea | 06:01 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | !fsh | 06:01 |
|---|
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fsh - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:01 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | hrm | 06:01 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | and I don't really get the "package" concept either -- is it like a zip? | 06:01 |
|---|
| acee1235 | cptnapalm: froze had to restart but works | 06:01 |
|---|
| crdlb | _Oz_: dpkg -L PACKAGE_NAME :) | 06:01 |
|---|
| chubs730 | cptnapalm: hah yeah, don't fall into that trap oz | 06:01 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Me neither haha ..yah package is similar to zip | 06:02 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | _Oz_: package is more like an installer | 06:02 |
|---|
| skwashd | hi all | 06:02 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | _Oz_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard | 06:02 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | cptnapalm: yeah, I know what rm does :) | 06:02 |
|---|
| chubs730 | oz: /usr/bin is where programs hang out when they're installed, as well as /usr/local/bin | 06:02 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | ah | 06:02 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | thank you, mastershrek | 06:02 |
|---|
| Scunizi | _Oz_, kinda like an .exe.. with variations.. | 06:02 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | cptnapalm: Well, G7 mouse changes it from 500 to 150 all by itself in both windows and linux (somehow). So, the cursor hops all over the screen. I'm negotiating with Logitech about them sending me a _Different_ mouse, but they're making it hard. | 06:02 |
|---|
| acee1235 | cptnapalm: thank you | 06:02 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Yah its an installable archive basically.. a tarball is most similiar to a zip i would think | 06:02 |
|---|
| skwashd | i have a ASUS M3A mother board with 2G RAM, Athlon 4800+, 320G HDD, mythbuntu installed | 06:02 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | _Oz_: no one can every be *nix guru without having wiped out their OS with rm at least once :) | 06:02 |
|---|
| devnull | oh yeah, twinview = roxors :P | 06:02 |
|---|
| skwashd | everytime i reboot it, the MAC address changes | 06:03 |
|---|
| mkbernard | 0 | 06:03 |
|---|
| monte | um someone gave me a website link about unbuntu restricted extras | 06:03 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1235: so alls well in 1680x1050? | 06:03 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | badkitty: like a self-executing zip (.exe) that's compressed into a single file? | 06:03 |
|---|
| badkitty | monte: probably me | 06:03 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | skwashd, sounds like a bios setting maybe, is it totally random which mac address? | 06:03 |
|---|
| crdlb | _Oz_: it's not self-executing | 06:03 |
|---|
| monte | can u give me that link again | 06:03 |
|---|
| acee1235 | cptnapalm: yes | 06:03 |
|---|
| chubs730 | oz, cptnapalm: or installing debian twice because "it didn't work", because you were too lazy to check the website and find out what startx was | 06:03 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | skwashd: That's really odd, I didn't think MAC addresses ever changed. | 06:03 |
|---|
| acee1235 | cptnapalm: everything is tiny on my 15" screen | 06:04 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1235: Awesome :) | 06:04 |
|---|
| acee1235 | indeed | 06:04 |
|---|
| skwashd | MasterShrek: that's what i thought ... checked it ... the only LAN options are "use boot rom" (disabled) and "smart mac" (auto - oither option disabled the nic) | 06:04 |
|---|
| Scunizi | monte, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 06:04 |
|---|
| HeLeN22 | hi | 06:04 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | startx? what's that? | 06:04 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | and how could it have helped me? | 06:04 |
|---|
| skwashd | pocketdrummer: you can hack it .. but normally it shouldn't change | 06:04 |
|---|
| monte | scunizi: thanks | 06:04 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | chubs730: Man I remember starting with Red Hat 4.something and trying to get X working.... had the case open on its side with a flashlight trying to read chipset numbers heh | 06:05 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | skwashd, very weird, never heard of such a thing | 06:05 |
|---|
| chubs730 | oz: i wouldn't worry about it, but if you ever use something like slackware or debian, it boots to a command line by default | 06:05 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Well a package is really what the name implies and you tell the computer what to do with it: sudo (super user do) apt-get (aptitude is the package manager) install (this is what to do with this package) virtualbox | 06:05 |
|---|
| ubuntulover | Guys, what means "start application in terminal"??? How can i emulate this way in script? | 06:05 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1235: on 15" I'm thinking 1440x900 might be a better bet | 06:05 |
|---|
| chubs730 | oz: startx starts the x server, the graphical side | 06:05 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | ctnapalm: yep, that's what scared me away from linux for a long time, but with ubuntu, users like me are being brought into the fold | 06:05 |
|---|
| skwashd | MasterShrek: ubuntu is loading the wrong driver for it too ... from what i have been able to dig up | 06:05 |
|---|
| crdlb | badkitty: don't you mean "apt-get is the package manager"? :) | 06:05 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | ahh | 06:05 |
|---|
| skwashd | it should be using the atl1 driver ... not forcedeth (nvidia) | 06:05 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | so to install, it's always apt-get install filename | 06:06 |
|---|
| rainwalker | ubuntulover: start the application from a terminal, applications > accessories > terminal | 06:06 |
|---|
| badkitty | crdlb: Did i miss the get? | 06:06 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I wondered why "install xyz" never worked | 06:06 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | skwashd, try blacklisting forcedeth maybe? | 06:06 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | !blacklist | skwashd | 06:06 |
|---|
| crdlb | badkitty: you said apt-get, then aptitude in the explanation :) | 06:06 |
|---|
| ubotu | skwashd: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 06:06 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | ibnstall is a different command. :) | 06:06 |
|---|
| acee1235 | cptnapalm: i like things small i still have issues with restart x freezing my computer showing only the background | 06:06 |
|---|
| crdlb | _Oz_: not exactly, apt-get installs from repositories, dpkg is the raw package manager | 06:06 |
|---|
| badkitty | crdlb: aptitude is the package manager.. apt-get is how you reference it i guess.. you can also use aptitude in a terminal | 06:06 |
|---|
| skwashd | MasterShrek: about to try that :) | 06:06 |
|---|
| crdlb | which is capable of installing a .deb files | 06:06 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | ... oh | 06:06 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | how does apt-get know where to find the repository | 06:07 |
|---|
| crdlb | badkitty: they're separate apps, similar, but not identical | 06:07 |
|---|
| blett | hi,all | 06:07 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | ubuntu Elven Magic! | 06:07 |
|---|
| devnull | hmm, whats the best alternative to konfabulator / yahoo widgets nowadays, still gkrellm or is there something better? | 06:07 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | :) | 06:07 |
|---|
| ubuntulover | rainwalker: Now, i mean, i whant to bind start "python" in .xbindkeysrc, but i can't, cuz python should be started in terminal. So, how can i write it in script? | 06:07 |
|---|
| chubs730 | oz: text configuration files on your computer | 06:07 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | _Oz_: Canonical and the Knoppix guys particularly really have made a world of difference in that regard. One thing I do sort of miss is the kind of bonding that went on with the machine from knowing it so well... Hell, I still remember what I called that machine I build over a decade ago.... Tankgirl :) | 06:07 |
|---|
| crdlb | _Oz_: /etc/apt/sources.list plus a cache it makes when you sudo apt-get update | 06:07 |
|---|
| badkitty | crdlb: Oh .. IC | 06:07 |
|---|
| sp219 | Is there any way to kill "gdmgreeter" (and everything involving a GUI/X For that matter, including gdm/X itself) so it doesn't restart again automatically? | 06:07 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1235: Ok, that might be an ATI driver problem | 06:07 |
|---|
| rainwalker | ubuntulover: hmm...I'm not sure, but I'm not the best with scripts | 06:07 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | and how is it retrieving them? ftp? | 06:07 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I see, crdlb. | 06:07 |
|---|
| crdlb | _Oz_: or http, depends on the mirror | 06:07 |
|---|
| ubuntulover | rainwalker: It's even not about scripts. Try to start "python" in "Alt+F2" - same thing. | 06:08 |
|---|
| acee1235 | cptnapalm: so i basically need to rip my gpu out and find a way to put a nvidia gpu in my laptop | 06:08 |
|---|
| badkitty | crdlb: but you can still type sudo aptitude install xxx cant you? So is apt-get a shortcut or a seperate command alltogether? | 06:08 |
|---|
| rainwalker | ubuntulover: you mean, nothing happens? | 06:08 |
|---|
| sp219 | Is there any way to kill "gdmgreeter" (and everything involving a GUI/X For that matter, including gdm/X itself) so it doesn't restart again automatically? | 06:08 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | sp219, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 06:09 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | those text files which are updated when apt-get updates are kinda like nameservers in a way then, eh? | 06:09 |
|---|
| crdlb | badkitty: it's a separate command; aptitude was intended as a more powerful replacement for apt-get, but apt-get has implemented some of those features recently. | 06:09 |
|---|
| ubuntulover | rainwalker: yep. Maybe, something happends! (: But there is no python interpreter on the screen. | 06:09 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1235: If that is even possible :( ATI can be awkward... Some machines they run like absolute champs. Others, like a couple of desktops I tried Ubuntu on, they crash the kernel after trying to switch to console or, god forbid! log out | 06:09 |
|---|
| rainwalker | what does control + alt + F4 do? last time I tried it I think it killed my X completely...so I'm afraid to try again | 06:09 |
|---|
| crdlb | badkitty: compare apt-get --help and aptitude --help | 06:09 |
|---|
| sp219 | MasterShrek: perfect, thanks! | 06:10 |
|---|
| acee1235 | cptnapalm: yep mine does the latter | 06:10 |
|---|
| devnull | i never could get stuff working right with my ati card | 06:10 |
|---|
| rainwalker | ubuntulover: I think you have to run a python script with python, I don't think there's an actual python GUI that's supposed to come up | 06:10 |
|---|
| devnull | so i got an nvidia one lol | 06:10 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | rainwalker, that goes to console #4 - use alt-ctrl-F7 to get back to X | 06:10 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | rainwalker: that should just switch you to virtual terminal 4 | 06:10 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | !console | 06:10 |
|---|
| ubotu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 06:10 |
|---|
| ubuntulover | rainwalker: You should just press Ctrl+Alt+F7! (: | 06:10 |
|---|
| rainwalker | Dr_willis: wow that would have been nice to know at the time... | 06:10 |
|---|
| badkitty | crdlb: Yah I'll look into the differences one of these days | 06:10 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1235: welcome to the misery of being an ATI user :( | 06:10 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | rainwalker, it pays to read up on Linux fundamentals. :) | 06:10 |
|---|
| rainwalker | guess o | 06:10 |
|---|
| crdlb | rainwalker: are you using compiz? | 06:10 |
|---|
| rainwalker | so* | 06:10 |
|---|
| rainwalker | crdlb: yes | 06:10 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | thats been a linux feature for.... ever.. :) i think.. heh | 06:10 |
|---|
| acee1235 | cptnapalm: tis a temporary state i assure you | 06:10 |
|---|
| ubuntulover | So, can someone helps me? | 06:11 |
|---|
| rainwalker | I was messing with key bindings for compiz stuff and set that as one...haha scared the crap out of me | 06:11 |
|---|
| crdlb | rainwalker: some drivers have broken vt-switching while using compiz, so when you switch to a terminal, you can't switch back to X :/ | 06:11 |
|---|
| ubuntulover | Developers, developers, developers!!! | 06:11 |
|---|
| ubuntulover | (: | 06:11 |
|---|
| acee1235 | cptnapalm: im thinking a nice termite experiment is in order | 06:11 |
|---|

| monte | scunizi: i installed the restricted extras and wat do i do after that | 06:11 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1235: as it was with me... I bought my new desktop, and the first thing I did upon arriving home was to burn an Ubuntu disk, rip out the ATI card,slap in an nvidia, wipe out windows and install Linux | 06:11 |
|---|
| skwashd | MasterShrek: i love it when the vendor's website spec doesn't match what is in the box | 06:11 |
|---|
| rainwalker | crdlb: well I didn't know control alt F7 would bring me back, I just thought I'd broken something | 06:12 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: To my knowledge, your sources hold files that reference the packages that are within their control, so when you update your sources, you are in essence downloading a compiled list of the packages that are on each source, therefore when you invoke a command such as apt-get install, it can reference the package name with the source and proceed to download and install, etc | 06:12 |
|---|
| rainwalker | the open ATI driver works fine for me... | 06:12 |
|---|
| crdlb | rainwalker: just something to keep in mind if it doesn't work :) | 06:12 |
|---|
| ubuntulover | " rainwalker: the open ATI driver works fine for me..." With 3D??? | 06:12 |
|---|
| acee1235 | ii wonder if insurance would cover that... | 06:12 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Oh, to everyone who likes using the command line: Buy a Sun Keyboard. The Control key is where the Caps lock key normally is. Makes life much better. | 06:12 |
|---|
| sigma | is the original WINE program the best available, or would anyone recommend something else? | 06:13 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | it's a very clever, robust, and efficient system, badkitty. | 06:13 |
|---|
| rainwalker | ubuntulover: yes, as far as I can tell | 06:13 |
|---|
| mrchicago | hello all | 06:13 |
|---|
| razordead | devnull: the latest Linux widget stuff I've heard about is gDesklets & screenlets | 06:13 |

| badkitty | Oh No! I found one of those Rotten Jelly Bellies in my bag! I've been poisoned! | 06:13 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | sigma, wine is about the best | 06:13 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | sigma: yeah, WINE is still the best. | 06:13 |
|---|
| crdlb | rainwalker: ooh, you should be fine then, the radeon driver has perfect vt-switching afaik :) | 06:13 |
|---|
| fignew_ | cptnapalm: wrong... it makes life hell | 06:13 |

| mrchicago | how is it going | 06:13 |
|---|
| sigma | thanks | 06:13 |
|---|
| chubs730 | cptnapalm: that sounds quite awesome | 06:13 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | fignew_: How?!?!? | 06:13 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Theres guides on swiching the caps lock and ctrl keys. :) | 06:13 |
|---|
| chubs730 | cptnapalm: though you could always just trade keys and remap | 06:13 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Indeed; not to mention convenient as all heck | 06:13 |
|---|
| sigma | one more thing... I have no control over my bluetooth module in linux, only in windows. My bluetooth mouse works, but linux believes there is no adapter present. any ideas? | 06:13 |

| cptnapalm | fignew_: I got one off eBay for like $5 | 06:14 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | it's powerful! it's a better OS. not some cheap little "cute" OS which is what I was expecting. I am just so impressed by the whole experience. | 06:14 |
|---|
| chubs730 | cptnapalm: yeah i can't say i don't want one, i'm guilty of of having bought a flexible keyboard off of ebay | 06:14 |
|---|
| fignew_ | did it have PS2? | 06:14 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: It's not just ubuntu, but the whole open source deal.. other linux distros offer the same type of package management systems | 06:15 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | fignew_: USB | 06:15 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | badkitty: yeah. ubuntu, to me, is the gateway which made the world of linux possible and then attractive to me. | 06:15 |

|---|
| chubs730 | though that may be an rpm vs deb thing really | 06:15 |
|---|
| sigma | theAtom: huh? | 06:16 |
|---|
| rainwalker | theAtom: you mean a live cd? | 06:16 |

| lewix | Dr_willis: how? im on windows right now...what should I check | 06:26 |
|---|
| chubs730 | cvd-pr: there are very few programs not in 64 bit, and if they aren't you can always compile them yourself | 06:26 |
|---|
| mrchicago | i dont have too many issues with my video card | 06:27 |
|---|
| CVD-PR | compile :-( | 06:27 |
|---|
| chubs730 | cvd-pr: the only real annoyance is java (grr!) | 06:27 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | j_humphrey: what video card are you using? lspci | grep -i vga will tell you | 06:27 |
|---|
| rainwalker | j_humphrey: install the package "compizconfig-settings-manager" and enable the desktop cube | 06:27 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | its an ati x1400 | 06:27 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | lewix, check the !nvidia and !fixres bot factoies urls. | 06:27 |
|---|
| chubs730 | cvd-pr: you'll rarely have to compile, 32 bit versions run fine with 32 bit libraries | 06:27 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | CVD-PR: Compiling most stuff is really pretty easy. If the stuff is sane at all just have to use 3 commands and it will be installed | 06:27 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | i have desktop cube, but it doesn't look like that picture | 06:27 |
|---|
| CVD-PR | its so difficult to code from 32 to 64? | 06:27 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | lewix, there is a Mint support irc channel on some other chennel. Check the Mint web site. | 06:27 |
|---|
| acee1235 | ij_humphrey: i feel your pain x1400.... | 06:27 |
|---|
| d3ads0ul | can someone around please help me with burning dvds | 06:27 |
|---|
| rainwalker | j_humphrey: oh, well what do you want it to look like? | 06:28 |
|---|
| CVD-PR | i already compiled some stuff | 06:28 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | http://www.beryl-project.org/images/cube_full.jpg rainwalker | 06:28 |
|---|
| d3ads0ul | or tell me where i can go for help, ive googled and found nothing | 06:28 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | j_humphrey: system->admin->restricted manager , install the ati driver and reboot. run fglrxinfo in the terminal, make sure it says you're using the ati 8.37.6 driver. Install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager , and log out and back in | 06:28 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | d3ads0ul, you mean creating VIDEO dvds or making DATA dvd's ? | 06:28 |
|---|
| rainwalker | j_humphrey: I saw that, but what is it about that picture that you want? | 06:28 |
|---|
| fantum13 | CVD-PR: x86_64 is fully backward compatible. You can run most ia32 binaries on it. | 06:28 |
|---|
| badkitty | If I compile a new kernel other than the generic one, will it make a difference? | 06:28 |
|---|
| d3ads0ul | burning a video .iso | 06:28 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | I've tried to get the cube working too, even with it enabled, it doesn't make a cube. | 06:28 |
|---|
| mouseboyx | Hello?, can someone help with a dhcp server problem? | 06:28 |
|---|
| mooseman447 | hey | 06:28 |
|---|
| GradeFPoultry | d3ads0ul: What's the problem? | 06:28 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | maybe, I'm using the wrong key combination? | 06:28 |
|---|
| rainwalker | pocketdrummer: what do you mean? | 06:28 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | j_humphrey: problem is quite possibly the card.... using the ATI drivers may result in crashing your machine. Just so you know what may happen. | 06:28 |
|---|
| GradeFPoultry | d3ads0ul: Actually, ignore me, I don't even know what I'm doing on Ubuntu yet >_< | 06:29 |
|---|
| d3ads0ul | wont burn, says input-output error | 06:29 |
|---|
| mooseman447 | i have a raid 0 setup and i just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 and now i get /dev/md0 does not exist dropping to a shell | 06:29 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | rainwalker, it just flips. no cube :-/ | 06:29 |
|---|
| GradeFPoultry | d3ads0ul: I'll try to find something on google. | 06:29 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | cptnapalm: not really, been using the ati for a while now and helping quite a few chipset versions | 06:29 |
|---|
| rainwalker | pocketdrummer: what key combo are you useing? | 06:29 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | pocketdrummer, you n eed to have 4 virtual desktops enabled for the full cube effect. | 06:29 |
|---|
| Ashnal | so i installed dosbox from the repository and have no clue where its configuration files are.... | 06:29 |
|---|
| rainwalker | using* | 06:29 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | I want the actual cube, it looks like the picture is a cube in expose, but when i activate the cube, it just flips the screen, rainwalker | 06:29 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | j_humphrey: I have the answer to your problem | 06:29 |
|---|
| d3ads0ul | ive been all over google, see a lot of people with problems, but not the same as mine | 06:29 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, read the dosbox docs/manpages. it can read them from different places. | 06:29 |
|---|
| LinuxMercedes | j_humphrey: how many desktops do you have? | 06:29 |
|---|
| rainwalker | j_humphrey: what key combo are you using? | 06:30 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | because I just solved it myself today :) | 06:30 |
|---|
| acee1235 | j_humphrey: you have x1400 correct and does your video playback flicker? | 06:30 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, i make a seperate config in each dos prograsm directory for my dosbox needs. | 06:30 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | _Oz_ how? | 06:30 |
|---|
| chubs730 | d3ads0ul: if it's just an .iso, burn it with k3b or any other burning program | 06:30 |
|---|
| badkitty | j_humphrey: Its because you only have it set for 2 desktops (2 sides) you need 4 (cube) | 06:30 |
|---|
| GradeFPoultry | d3ads0ul: Check out this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrkit/+bug/15424 | 06:30 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | pocketdrummer, j_humphrey ccsm , the rotate cube option, increase the zoom. Then, hold down the middle mouse button and move the mouse | 06:30 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | acee1235, i just installed the OS today, and installed all the new drivers | 06:30 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | j_humphrey: go into compiz config | 06:30 |
|---|
| d3ads0ul | this is the error i get Executing 'builtin_dd if=/dev/fd/0 of=/dev/scd1 obs=32k seek=0' | 06:30 |

|---|
| cptnapalm | nickrud_: Just bought a new machine. Had an ATI. Crashed the same way another card did. Swapping out to nvidia helped. They are pretty hit or miss and some have had problems with the X1400 | 06:30 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | choose "general options" | 06:30 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | badkitty, i have 4 desktops | 06:30 |
|---|
| d3ads0ul | but it doesnt toast my dvd-rs | 06:31 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | _oz_ im there | 06:31 |
|---|
| rainwalker | !paste | d3ads0ul | 06:31 |
|---|
| ubotu | d3ads0ul: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 06:31 |
|---|
| badkitty | j_humphrey: Your sure? You have to check within ccsm (compiz settings manager) | 06:31 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | look under "desktops" or "video" or something like that where you can set the number of horizontal and vertical desktops | 06:31 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | rainwalker, ctrl+alt+ Left/right key. Is that right? | 06:31 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | cptnapalm: hm, I've helped a couple set that up. The only issue I heard was bad video playback, they had to use the x11 output plugin | 06:31 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | set horiz to 4, vertical to 2 | 06:31 |
|---|
| badkitty | j_humphrey: The default setting within compiz is 2 even though w/o compiz on you have 4 | 06:31 |
|---|
| acee1235 | j_humphrey: if you get it to work and the video not to glitch i would be interested how you did it | 06:31 |
|---|
| rainwalker | pocketdrummer: for the cube, you need control + alt + click | 06:31 |
|---|
| acee1235 | j_humphrey: i cant get mine working | 06:31 |
|---|
| devnull | damn, it seems gdesklets has been abandoned | 06:31 |
|---|
| mooseman447 | does anybody know why i get a /dev/md0 does not exist error after upgrading to 7.10 | 06:31 |
|---|
| ubd | how can i check if ubunutu makes cpu sclaing right_ | 06:32 |
|---|
| rainwalker | devnull: screenlets > gdesklets | 06:32 |
|---|
| CVD-PR | any know why when i try do go in text mode nothing happen? | 06:32 |
|---|
| ubd | scaling | 06:32 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | acee1235, ah, i think it will glicth | 06:32 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | nickrud_: I, and acee1235 here, had hard crashes when doing anything that switched video mode at all: switch to console or... gasp... trying to logout | 06:32 |
|---|
| devnull | yeah? i will look into that | 06:32 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | glitch*, it was doing it earlier | 06:32 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | you can also spin the cube by pressing down on your mousewheel while hovering over anywhere on the background, and flicking it around | 06:32 |
|---|
| Ashnal | how would i get dosbox to read a config file i stash somewhere? | 06:32 |
|---|
| rainwalker | devnull: install them from gnome-look | 06:32 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Is cube enabled in extra visual effects? | 06:32 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, it has command line options. | 06:32 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | j_humphrey: did it work? | 06:32 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | acee1235: you talking about video playback? set the video output to x11 instead of xv | 06:32 |
|---|
| acee1235 | i did | 06:32 |
|---|
| acee1235 | no luck | 06:33 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | acee1235: the x1400? | 06:33 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I'd give you better directions but I'm reinstalling the computer I had compiz running on | 06:33 |
|---|
| acee1235 | had to disable compoziting in the xorg | 06:33 |
|---|
| acee1235 | yes | 06:33 |
|---|
| rainwalker | devnull: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=73346 | 06:33 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1235: Flickering playback? Damn, sound EXACTLY like what I had going on b/f i replaced the ATI card... | 06:33 |
|---|
| devnull | rainwalker: thanks | 06:33 |
|---|
| CVD-PR | When i try to do a suspend it wake automatically, this is a commond problem in ubuntu or is something worng with my configs? | 06:33 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | j_humphrey: I'll bet I can predict your next question if you got that working | 06:33 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | acee1235: you can't use composite extension with the fglrx in ubuntu ... | 06:34 |
|---|
| acee1235 | cptnapalm: im going around the world this summer so my laptop might set...stolen | 06:34 |
|---|
| acee1235 | nickrud_: seems like it | 06:34 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | acee1235: You should go to AMD and find the chip designer and beat them to death with it | 06:34 |
|---|
| skwashd | got it working ... hacked my persistent network rules | 06:35 |
|---|
| chubs730 | !insurancefraud | acee1235 | 06:35 |
|---|
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about insurancefraud - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:35 |
|---|
| acee1235 | lol | 06:35 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | acee1235: did you try using the xserver-xgl ? compiz works fine with that installed on most cards I've seen | 06:35 |
|---|
| badkitty | How would I find out what kernel is best for my processor? Its an amd athlon(64) 3000+ | 06:35 |
|---|
| CVD-PR | ? | 06:35 |
|---|
| acee1235 | nickrud_: were is that | 06:35 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | badkitty: the generic one , unless you decide to custom compile | 06:35 |
|---|
| Ashnal | Dr_willis: ummm where is the default dosbox.conf file? | 06:35 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | nickrud_: I tried using xserver-xgl and all it did was hose everything until I completely uninstalled it... | 06:35 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | acee1235: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl , log out and back in | 06:36 |
|---|
| badkitty | nickrud_: Is there a benefit to compile the kernel? | 06:36 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, i would guess in /etc somewhere. | 06:36 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | cptnapalm: use a minimal xorg.conf. I'd recommend dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg in fact. | 06:36 |
|---|
| acee1235 | nickrud_: i can get compiz to work i just cant get compiz and video seems mutually exclusive dependent on the composite boolean | 06:36 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | nickrud_: I just swapped out the ati for nvidia... heh | 06:36 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | acee1235: do not use the composite boolean. No composite section at all in the xorg.conf | 06:37 |
|---|
| badkitty | cptnapalm: Wow you get a hi five! | 06:37 |
|---|
| acee1235 | ? | 06:37 |
|---|
| Ashnal | Dr_willis: i already looked in there, i cant find it | 06:37 |
|---|
| acee1235 | ah | 06:37 |
|---|
| badkitty | cptnapalm: Down with ATI . NVidia FTW! | 06:37 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | acee1235: try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg && sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl , log out and back in | 06:37 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | yeah, it's gotta be nvidia. | 06:37 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, then make one? | 06:38 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Ashnal: ok do this find /etc -type f -name "dosbox.conf" -print | 06:38 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | their cards always work great and they're always compatible with everything. dunno how anyone would willingly get sucked into an ATI. | 06:38 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | badkitty: built into my laptop, gotta make it work | 06:38 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | could be an example one in the dosbox docs dir. | 06:38 |
|---|
| fantum13 | I'm having DHCP issues with my AR5007EG on ndiswrapper (Gutsy amd64 with a 64 bit windows driver). I know the driver and card are functional, because if I can chain reboot enough for, than it'll work, but otherwise, I'm fscked. Does anyone have experience with this? | 06:38 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Ashnal: I think that should find it if it is in the /etc directory | 06:38 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | badkitty: Swapping video cards cured all manner of headaches... and AMD STILL has not fixed their damn drivers | 06:39 |
|---|
| acee1235 | rebooting | 06:39 |
|---|
| razordead | how come the screenlets.org web site hasn't been updated since 0.0.10 | 06:39 |
|---|
| badkitty | nickrud_: So its better NOT to compile a new kernel unless I had to (especially for support reasons) | 06:39 |
|---|
| Ashnal | cptnapalm: i get zilc | 06:39 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | rainwalker: Is cube enabled in the extra setting? | 06:39 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | dr_willis: one downside of this browser sync by google is that there's really no way to use your bookmarks at a public computer. got a solution for that one? | 06:39 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | badkitty: absolutely. I haven't compiled one in a few years | 06:39 |
|---|
| badkitty | cptnapalm: I've disliked ati since I knew they existed.. it all went downhill from my first experience with an all-in-wonder | 06:40 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | _Oz_, Check the various web sites that can keep your bookmarks i guess. I dont use public coputers | 06:40 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Ashnal: Ok, I'm thinking that there isn't one there then heh | 06:40 |
|---|
| badkitty | all-in-wonderwhythecrapitsnotworking! | 06:40 |
|---|
| razordead | _Oz_: I think del.icio.us would be better for that | 06:40 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Ashnal: did you install from Synaptic or apt or some such? | 06:40 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | ok, so it didnt work | 06:40 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | what happened | 06:40 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | hooray for crappy ati | 06:40 |
|---|
| Ashnal | cptnapalm: i installed using the add/remove feature | 06:40 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | /usr/share/doc/dosbox/dosbox.conf.example.gz | 06:41 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | _Oz_: del.icio.us has a really useful firefox plugin as well | 06:41 |
|---|
| badkitty | I like the seemingly new plugin for firefox the speed-dial (surely a copy of operas speed dial) | 06:41 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | oh, you're using ATI? that does make it a bit more difficult | 06:41 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | badkitty: One thing which puzzles me is how the hell they have some chips that work great, but others that are totally borked | 06:41 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | nickrud: thanks for the tip | 06:41 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | I'll check that out | 06:41 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | _oz_ yeah, it does make it more difficult | 06:41 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Ashnal: ok good... give me a minute and I'll see if i remember how to do something | 06:41 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | updatedb and locate - are handy tools. :) | 06:41 |
|---|
| Jangari | ho would I install an app onto a server on which i don't have superuser permissions? I hear it's possible to put an app in my own ~/bin directory and run it from there | 06:41 |
|---|
| LinuxMercedes | cptnapalm: yeah. I have an ATI here that works fine | 06:41 |
|---|
| Jangari | how* | 06:41 |
|---|
| badkitty | cptnapalm: Yah odd.. Do you know if ATI has the same kind of driver architecture that nvidia does IE. One driver for all cards (except GO?) | 06:42 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | j_humphrey: are you still seeing only a two sided panel when you rotate the 'cube'? | 06:42 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Jangari, you could compile the app as a user. and install it to your home dir. | 06:42 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | linuxmercedes, are you on a mobility radien? | 06:42 |
|---|
| LinuxMercedes | nope | 06:42 |
|---|
| demortes | I have a completely unrelated question to help me with my ubuntu server. I need to register a domain name, but every time I use godaddy, it doesn't release it to be registered again. Anyone got any decent registration services that allows complete control over nameservers? | 06:42 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | LinuxMercedes: Had a laptop with an ATI was great. Have had 2 desktops with ATI which were aweful... :-/ | 06:43 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | as long as i dont have virtual desktops, i think im fine | 06:43 |
|---|
| acee1234 | compiz is up testing video | 06:43 |
|---|
| ubd | how can i check if ubuntus cpu frequency handling | 06:43 |
|---|
| LinuxMercedes | j_humphrey: I have a radeon of some sort in the desktop (I forget which one); Laptop is Trident Video Accelerator =[ | 06:43 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Does anyone know if cube is enabled on Extra mode? I tried ctrl+alt+left click and it does nothing. | 06:43 |
|---|
| Jangari | how do i compile it, lame, as a user, Dr_willis? | 06:43 |
|---|
| Jangari | or sox, even | 06:43 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | download the source.. and assiming the compiler stuff is installed.. unpack it.. and start compiling. | 06:43 |
|---|
| badkitty | demortes: What do you mean released again? You should be able to control nameservers of your domain through godaddy | 06:43 |
|---|
| Jangari | pocketdrummer: you have to get advanced desktop settings | 06:44 |
|---|
| demortes | Right, but I want to have it released back to the domain pool if and when it expires | 06:44 |
|---|
| shroothy | any one know how to open my own channel | 06:44 |
|---|
| demortes | I don't think great domains should be reserved for pointless ads | 06:44 |
|---|
| badkitty | pocketdrummer: If you look under the controls it should tell you what keys are binded to it | 06:44 |
|---|
| Jangari | compiling doesn't require superuser privileges? | 06:44 |
|---|
| devnull | hmm, out of beer... | 06:44 |
|---|
| acee1234 | ok video doesnt flicker but it has reduced fps and is lagged behind the sound | 06:44 |
|---|
| devnull | compiling doesnt, but systemwide installation does | 06:44 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | when i switch between desktops (wheel up/down on desktop) it doesnt "flip" it looks like a cube, but i dont actually see a cube | 06:45 |
|---|
| pocketdrummer | Jangari, Badkitty: Thanks | 06:45 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Ashnal: I *think* that dpkg -S dosbox.conf should work | 06:45 |
|---|
| devnull | in fact it is recommended that programs not be compiled as root by most | 06:45 |
|---|
| nickrud_ | j_humphrey: hold down the middle mouse button and move the mouse around. | 06:45 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | wo | 06:45 |
|---|
| badkitty | j_humphrey: did you check to see how many desktops (horizontal setting in ccsm) you have? | 06:45 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | that works nickrud | 06:45 |
|---|
| Ashnal | cptnapalm: whatll that do? tell me where dosbox.conf is? | 06:45 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | is it a cube now, j-hump? | 06:46 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | do not compile as root if at all possible.... If you do, you will get cooties and girls will not want to talk to you. | 06:46 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | yeah | 06:46 |
|---|
| Jangari | mm, the problem is that its a university owned server running redhat, and they won't allow us to install systemwide software that isn't supported by redhat, and they don't yet support the mp3 libraries for so | 06:46 |
|---|
| Jangari | sox | 06:46 |
|---|
| demortes | You're running ubuntu, unless you make a lot of money, I doubt your in any state to talk to girls anyway | 06:46 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | is there a way to zoom out? | 06:46 |
|---|
| badkitty | j_humphrey: The normal ctrl-alt keys probably are not binded or something | 06:46 |
|---|
| === nickrud_ is now known as nickrud |
| j_humphrey | demortes, im running ubuntu, and im engaged :) | 06:46 |
|---|
| chubs730 | demortes: no way, ubuntu sounds so exotic | 06:46 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Ashnal: I don't have dosbox. That will tell dpkg to search for the packages that have dosbox.conf so should tell you where it installed it | 06:46 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | j-hump: I knew you'd ask that | 06:46 |

| _Oz_ | look under rotating cube in the compiz-config | 06:47 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | one of the options is "scale" | 06:47 |
|---|
| demortes | chubs730 I can see that, but not like to women :P | 06:47 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | zoom it to about 3.0 | 06:47 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | it'll start looking more like a cube | 06:47 |
|---|
| Ashnal | cptnapalm: so will this dpkg tell me where any app is installed? | 06:47 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Ashnal: it will tell you where a particular file is, if you installed it the normal way | 06:47 |
|---|
| chubs730 | demortes: "maynards-girl has quit ()" yeah guess not :/ | 06:48 |
|---|
| demortes | so anyone have a preferred place for domain registration? | 06:48 |
|---|
| nickrud | Ashnal: dpkg -L <packagename> shows where all the files get installed | 06:48 |
|---|
| Jangari | rotating the cube with like 16 desktops is fun | 06:48 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | nickrud: Damnit i forgot about the -L | 06:48 |
|---|
| Jangari | it turns into a massive wheel, like a big block of parmesan | 06:48 |
|---|
| badkitty | demortes: I've just used godaddy. Also if you go to brinkster.com (if you need hosting) they give you a domain name or two for free with the hosting | 06:48 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal /usr/share/doc/dosbox/dosbox.conf.example.gz | 06:49 |
|---|
| chubs730 | demortes: godaddy has been fine for me also | 06:49 |
|---|
| Ashnal | nickrud:thank you that will be soooo helpful as i never seem to be able to find program files since they seem to be scattered everywhere | 06:49 |
|---|
| demortes | I'm not liking Godaddy, because of them, I can't use the same domain name | 06:49 |

| witepa | Hi, I am trying to install madwifi to enable my wireless card, but I am encountering some difficulties. First off, can anyone help me to why my wireless device is coming up as eth1 instead of ath0 or wifi0? | 06:49 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Dr_willis: what were they thinking slapping it into /usr/share/doc.... | 06:49 |
|---|
| badkitty | demortes: WHO | 06:49 |
|---|
| Jangari | i went with 1and1, i didn't know any others and 1and1 were suggested to me, 6 bucks a year wasn't too bad i though | 06:49 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | wow, compiz is so much better than aero | 06:49 |
|---|
| Jangari | thought | 06:49 |
|---|
| Mandos | I am having trouble with suspend/hibernate on Feisty. It used to work, but now it is not. | 06:49 |
|---|
| NineTails | dunno | 06:49 |
|---|
| demortes | badkitty: godaddy. | 06:49 |
|---|
| demortes | I just need domain, not hosting. | 06:50 |
|---|
| badkitty | demortes: I never had problems with them.. | 06:50 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | cptnapalm, its an example config file. :) where else should it be. | 06:50 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | cpTanis, dosbox can generate a conf file I belive from some command also.. | 06:50 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | oops wrong nick :) | 06:50 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | badkitty | 06:50 |
|---|
| j | j_humphrey aer? | 06:50 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Geah | 06:50 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | how do I get twinview working again? | 06:50 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | there's a quick and easy way to get x-server | 06:50 |
|---|
| Mandos | unfortunately, I have not been able to find any reason for why it does not work. | 06:50 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: Let me get the link | 06:50 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | but I forgot it | 06:50 |
|---|
| nickrud | demortes: why not just transfer the domain? | 06:50 |
|---|
| demortes | I no longer own it | 06:51 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Dr_willis: I've always hated example configs... I mean, ship the damn thing with something that at least barely works and put it in the right place... Where the hell is my pitchfork?!?! | 06:51 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | :) | 06:51 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773584 | 06:51 |
|---|
| Mandos | And my ubuntuforums posts have not received any response. | 06:51 |
|---|
| Mandos | Which is not unusual. | 06:51 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Mandos: well frequently when noone knows, they don't answer :-/ | 06:51 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | cptnapalm, i found it. :) of course i also read the docs. :) | 06:52 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | aha | 06:52 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | that's it | 06:52 |
|---|
| Ashnal | cptnapalm: im with you, and i currently have no idea where to put this config file so that dosbox will load it at startup | 06:52 |
|---|
| badkitty | I think twinview is a lame name.. especially because my two monitors barely look alike | 06:52 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | thank you, badkitty. I love that method -- so much easier. | 06:52 |
|---|
| nickrud | Mandos: try looking in /var/log/syslog , around the time you suspend. You might find a clue there | 06:52 |

| witepa | Hey again, I am trying to install madwifi to enable my wireless card, but I am encountering some difficulties. First off, can anyone help me to why my wireless device is coming up as eth1 instead of ath0 or wifi0? | 06:52 |

| j | can someone help me . i'm trying to remove my old ubuntu partitions. I have it in the same hard drive that im running another partation with ubuntu | 06:52 |

| Mandos | I've tried. | 06:52 |

| sp219 | j: gparted? | 06:52 |
|---|
| badkitty | _Oz_: It's one of those things you just need to get it working already you know? | 06:52 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, dosbox man pages says in the current directory | 06:52 |
|---|
| Mandos | Looking in /var/log/syslog. It doesn't say much. I am using uswsusp. It fails on "suspending consoles". | 06:52 |
|---|
| === sp219 is now known as a |
| cptnapalm | Ashnal: See, it is all about finding something, and editing it... it should not be about finding something, figure out where to put it and then figure out how the hell to get it to work at all | 06:53 |
|---|
| Mandos | And then doesn't turn off the computer. | 06:53 |
|---|
| sigma | witepa: that depends on your hardware and how it is connected, mine is eth1 as well | 06:53 |
|---|
| Mandos | That's for s2disk/s2both. | 06:53 |
|---|
| === a is now known as s |
| badkitty | _Oz_: Although I thought there was a graphical way to do that now ... | 06:53 |
|---|
| Ashnal | Dr_willis: the directory that the dosbox executable is in? | 06:53 |
|---|
| j | sp219 so its /dev/sda1 ext3 but then it has linux-swap as /dev/sda2 and then ext /dev/sda3 for the one im running now | 06:53 |
|---|
| === Fyd4_ is now known as Fyda |
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, the directory you RUN the program from | 06:53 |

| nickrud | Mandos: ubuntu-users mail list, it has some smart people there. attach the relevant part of the syslog | 06:53 |

| Dr_willis | Ashnal, this lets you put a config file in each dos games dir. that gets used. | 06:53 |

| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 06:53 |

| ubotu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 06:53 |

| cptnapalm | w00h00! | 06:54 |

| badkitty | netsplit! | 06:54 |

| Jangari | ooh, another netsplit | 06:54 |
|---|
| Mandos | OK, I"ll try that. | 06:54 |
|---|
| Jangari | freaky | 06:54 |
|---|
| sigma | hah, netsplit | 06:54 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | cptnapalm, the fact its mentioned in the man page is hiding it eh. :) | 06:54 |
|---|
| Ashnal | Dr_willis: is it possible to have a global config file that loads when dosbox does? | 06:54 |

| sp219 | Netsplit ftw | 06:54 |

| j | can someone help me . i'm trying to remove my old ubuntu partitions. I have it in the same hard drive that im running another partation with ubuntu | 06:54 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, proberly. Id have to double check the man pages | 06:54 |

| Jangari | meh, that ain't many | 06:54 |
|---|
| j | i want to delete the sda1 first one /dev/sda1 ext3 but then it has linux-swap as /dev/sda2 and then ext /dev/sda3 for the one im running now | 06:54 |

| Mandos | Still, it failed for no reason. Lots of people have problems with nvidia and ATI, but I don't have those. | 06:54 |

| sp219 | 58 | 06:54 |

| cptnapalm | Dr_willis: Everything should go where it is supposed to go... | 06:54 |

| Jangari | could have been 200 more | 06:54 |
|---|
| sp219 | badkitty: one of the servers lost it's connection | 06:55 |
|---|
| badkitty | ahh | 06:55 |
|---|
| Jangari | j: that seems reasonable, what's the problem? | 06:55 |
|---|
| j | would that be a problem for linux swap ..messing up the | 06:55 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | cptnapalm, it dosent need one :) so there for its going in the example dir. | 06:55 |
|---|
| witepa | sigma: when i try to do iwlist eth1 scan, i get eth1 no scan results | 06:55 |
|---|
| Jangari | shouldn't be a problem for the swap, | 06:55 |
|---|
| j | Jangari want to delete the sda1 first one /dev/sda1 ext3 but then it has linux-swap as /dev/sda2 and then ext /dev/sda3 for the one im running now | 06:55 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | ok, i did something and i have little fires on my window, what is that? | 06:55 |
|---|
| Mandos | ubuntu-users is enormous-traffic. | 06:55 |
|---|
| Mandos | Hmm. | 06:55 |
|---|
| Jangari | i heard you the first two times, j | 06:56 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | what does "gksudo" mean anyway? Obviously I know what sudo does. | 06:56 |
|---|
| dragon | are there any good games that i can install on ubuntu? | 06:56 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | why the "gk"? | 06:56 |
|---|
| Jangari | no dragon, none | 06:56 |
|---|
| Jangari | never ever | 06:56 |
|---|
| badkitty | dragon: Umm enemy-territory | 06:56 |

| cptnapalm | Dr_willis: but it has to be in the directory from which you happen to be to run the program? that's sad... Hell even a totally incompetent n00Bz C learner can find out how to load from a default location... | 06:56 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | thats a must get game. | 06:56 |

| Starnestommy | _Oz_: it's a gtk frontend to sudo | 06:56 |

| dorkface | Hi all, I have a .tff file with a font that I really want to use. I tried searching google, but is it possible to convert .tff to .pcf, so konsole can understand it? | 06:56 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | why does it need a gtk front end? | 06:56 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Dr_willis: Ok maybe not one totally incompetent... I mean I don't know how to do it and I'm completely clueless heh | 06:57 |
|---|
| j | jangari so i can delete sda1 ext3 the old ubuntu partation .. but its mount point /media/sda1 would i run into problems if i remove it? | 06:57 |
|---|
| neil_d | _Oz_: it help when runing gui tools like gedit | 06:57 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | _Oz_: note that a lot of graphical administrative programs use it | 06:57 |
|---|
| dragon | so is there a website that has a list of good games? or do i just look up on google " linux games"? | 06:57 |
|---|
| j | jangari nvm what i said. | 06:57 |
|---|
| dragon | also i cant seem to get sound to work | 06:57 |
|---|
| Mandos | OK thanks. | 06:57 |

| chubs730 | enjoy | 06:58 |
|---|
| Mandos | I filed a launchpad bug. | 06:58 |
|---|
| _Oz_ | thanks, starnes and neil. | 06:58 |
|---|
| Ashnal | dragon:theres always emulators which are fun | 06:58 |
|---|
| Mandos | We'll see if it gets any responses. | 06:58 |
|---|
| badkitty | dragon: There was a list somewhere google best linux games... | 06:58 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | cptnapalm, I WANT it to run from the current dir. that way when i cd to 'doom' and do 'dosbox' it auto runs that config file. which i set up to run doom., if i am in the warlords dir - i set it up to auto run warlords | 06:58 |
|---|
| chubs730 | oops sorry wrong channel | 06:58 |
|---|
| Jangari | you should probably solicit advice from someone who knows what they're talking about, j, but i would assume that the numbering of the partition wouldn't change if you format an entire partition | 06:58 |
|---|
| badkitty | dragon: You can also look into sourceforge | 06:58 |
|---|
| j | jangari is it ok if 1st partition is linux-swap and 2nd is ubutnut | 06:58 |
|---|
| badkitty | dragon: But i think sudoku is fun!! | 06:58 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Dr_willis: Oh wait... its not a system config then? Its a per app thing? | 06:58 |
|---|
| dragon | so either google good linux games or use sourceforge? | 06:58 |
|---|
| Jangari | i don't think it matters where they are, I have first partition swap, second data, third xp pro, fourth ext3 | 06:58 |
|---|
| Ashnal | Dr_willis: i launch dosbox itself, and then the game inside it | 06:59 |
|---|
| j | Jangari thank you | 06:59 |
|---|
| badkitty | dragon: Try both! Use those firefox tabs!! | 06:59 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | cptnapalm, it looks for a user made config, and in the current dir.. | 06:59 |
|---|
| evil_tech | J: it doesnt matter where ubuntu is installed as long as grub can point to it | 06:59 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, you can set up a config to autorun the game if you wanted. | 06:59 |
|---|
| Mandos | I'm going to google "bad linux games." | 06:59 |
|---|
| dragon | ok i'll try those thanks :) | 06:59 |
|---|
| badkitty | Mandos: Great idea! | 06:59 |
|---|
| Jangari | also, reformatting one partition, your first, won't renumber those after it, they're fixed spaces on the disk | 06:59 |
|---|
| evil_tech | Mandos: you need Blobwars :) | 06:59 |
|---|
| dragon | as far as emulaters go do you mean wine? cause i cant get it to work and i have tried lots of times | 06:59 |
|---|
| Jangari | when you format it for another use, dataspace, say, it'll become the first partition | 07:00 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | good linux game was xsoldier or something like that fun and hard | 07:00 |
|---|
| Jangari | wine bites | 07:00 |
|---|
| Mandos | It doesn't give me much. Just a bunch of bug reports. | 07:00 |
|---|
| Mandos | Maybe if I google "terrible linux games" it will be more fruitful. | 07:00 |
|---|
| badkitty | dragon: There are many games that run natively on linux.. give those a try... if you like FPS try enemy territory | 07:00 |
|---|
| Jangari | why do you want bad games, Mandos? | 07:00 |
|---|
| nickrud | wine is evil, it perpetuates non-free software | 07:00 |
|---|
| Ashnal | Dr_willis: i might want to explain what im trying to do i guess haha cause its not something typical, im actually trying to compile a dos game so i can play it...cause all i have is the source code....and i need to set something in the autoexec.bat to get it to compile, which i thought i could do through a config file | 07:00 |
|---|
| badkitty | dragon: I think another popular one is called fortress??? | 07:01 |
|---|
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: Perhaps, but if you can run the stuff you need to run without windows --- is that so bad? | 07:01 |
|---|
| Jangari | not so much non-free, nickrud, but closed-access, | 07:01 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, compile a dos game under linux? Good Luck with that.. | 07:01 |
|---|
| sigma | .... just did a search for blob.... found: "Metal Blob Solid" ... wtf... | 07:01 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Dr_willis: it would seem to me a better way to do that would be to have it as essentially a script which you would toss in a personal bin so just call up whatever game you want to run by its name | 07:01 |
|---|
| dragon | what did you mean by emulater? you mean like zsnes? thats a cool emulater wounder if they have a linux ver of it | 07:01 |
|---|
| Ashnal | Dr_willis, no compile a dos game inside of dosbox | 07:01 |
|---|
| achandrashekar | hello I have a question about an ltsp setup which uses nfs mounted home drive. Im confused about setup and also the use of ldap for authentication. Does anyone have experience with this? | 07:01 |
|---|
| nickrud | Jangari: same thing. | 07:01 |
|---|
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: I'd rather have an app running in wine than a VM with Windows XP + app | 07:01 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | cptnapalm, unless you need seperate configs for each game.. | 07:01 |
|---|
| Jangari | okay, so you don't mean monetarily free | 07:01 |
|---|
| Mandos | Jangari: Just because it amuses me. | 07:02 |
|---|
| Mr__ | does this room have some sort of webchat block on it? | 07:02 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, that dosbox config file has autorun commands at the end of it. I guess ya could toss them in there. | 07:02 |
|---|
| nickrud | Cpudan80: it's a political thing, so off topic ;) | 07:02 |
|---|
| badkitty | Cpudan80: if possible yah.. xp in vm is the pits | 07:02 |
|---|
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: heh, alrighty | 07:02 |
|---|
| Jangari | liektoolbox for linguists, free, but only availsble for pc or intel mac via crossover, and linux via wine | 07:02 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, you got a compiler for dos appready eh? | 07:02 |
|---|
| Jangari | Mandos: how about xmame? | 07:02 |
|---|
| Ashnal | Dr_willis: im trying to set the dos compiler up | 07:02 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Dr_willis: nope. See if was essentially a script, then you would change what options needed to be changed then name the script after the game. Calling the script would then call dosbox to run the dos game in the specially needed way. | 07:02 |
|---|
| j_humphrey | where do you get widgets for the widget layer? | 07:03 |
|---|
| Mandos | Installing it. | 07:03 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | cptnapalm, this is linxu do whatever you want. You could alwyas set up whatever alias;s ytou want. :P | 07:03 |
|---|
| Ashnal | Dr_willis:and the environment variables need to be set in auutoexec.bat | 07:03 |
|---|
| Mandos | It looks big. | 07:03 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | Mr__: looks like it | 07:03 |
|---|
| Jangari | you'll need to find the roms as well, Mandos | 07:03 |
|---|
| Mr__ | Starnestommy: y? | 07:03 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, the dosbox config file has a auto run thing at the end that can do that. | 07:03 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | Mr__: abuse | 07:03 |
|---|
| Jangari | they can be a bit of a b|tch | 07:03 |
|---|
| [MGR]Mikkel | Hi ... | 07:03 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Dr_willis: Of course I've now been talking out of my butt for half an hour about a program that I have never used so... Ignore me at your leisure :) | 07:04 |
|---|
| Ashnal | Dr_willis:yea thats what ive been trying to get at, however i dont know where to put the damn thing | 07:04 |
|---|
| [MGR]Mikkel | I has Download the Script to my IRC Server! .. and i can not running it! its say : Fail: Cannot chdir(/home/server/lib): Permission denied, check DPATH <- I know dont no why? Please Help me! | 07:04 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | cptnapalm, im about to. :) i 'cd warlords2' and run run dosbox. and it runs the game for me. I could make a 2 line script that just cd's and runs. if i wanted. | 07:04 |
|---|
| Mr__ | Starnestommy: can any sites get approval? | 07:04 |
|---|
| Ashnal | Dr_willis:so that when i run dosbox by itself it loads the config, allowing me to run the compiler afterwards inside | 07:04 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, put the dosbov config in the dir with the dos game filea.. cd to the dos dir.. and run dosbox. | 07:05 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | Mr__: you could probably ask the ops for an exception | 07:05 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, you are making it WAY too hard. | 07:05 |
|---|
| Mr__ | Starnestommy: who are they? | 07:05 |
|---|
| tich | can someone direct me to a page that lists portable mp3/movie players (like ipods) that work well with ubuntu? | 07:05 |
|---|
| Ashnal | Dr_willis: i cant just 'run' the game >_> | 07:05 |
|---|
| Starnestommy | Mr__: /join #ubuntu-ops ? | 07:05 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Ashnal, you run dosbox. that gives you a shell. | 07:05 |
|---|
| cptnapalm | Dr_willis: I remember writing scripts like that... but no one ever said you had to be in the particular directory to run the stuff so I'd be stupidly looking into dependency problems for a week... | 07:05 |
|---|

| star1 | Hi there, my install of Beryl seems to be broken -- when I try to use it, I don't get any title-bars or borders on my windows. I read somewhere that to fix it, I need to recompile the fglrx kernel module, but it keeps failing saying it can't find a directory that I know exists. Can anyone help me out? |
