My laptop has a geforce FX go 5200, which I think is earlier than that one, and it works fine with Ibex. [00:00] Wildburn: well, maybe it's due some configuration, or torrents, i really can't locate the problem === SE_Julio is now known as SE_xjc [00:00] n8tuserf: i tried configuring grub myself and I didn't have any luck. i got to some initramfs command prompt thing and typed in reboot to get back here [00:00] ellanceo, on some laptops you hit the whatever function-fkeys to enable the video out.. not all work that way. but many do. [00:00] Wildburn: ok so something Ubuntu based maybe? === Sniper is now known as Guest86742 [00:00] Tried that, no workie. [00:00] did doesn't even save!! [00:01] I get a root prompt, but just don't know where to start [00:01] Does anyone know how to configure grub if I copy the files from inside the ubuntu install iso to an ext 2 partition and want to boot that partition? [00:01] seb: yeah, tbh last time I ran anything non Ubuntu was probably redhat 7, or Suse 2, or slackware 4, and that was years and years ago [00:01] Wildburn: I am using the [00:01] drewby: hummmmmmmm [00:01] !grub [00:01] NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver version 96 [00:01] how can i setup centralized logins for my network, so that home folders and usernames/passwords are kept on a server? [00:01] arbitrary: on geforce2 go? [00:02] sebsebseb: ? [00:02] * cremmora slaps Dr_willis around a bit with a large trout [00:02] drewby: look above I did a Grub one a while ago [00:02] ,but not that long ago [00:02] Wildburn: on a geforce go 5200, which is an earler model I think. [00:02] * cremmora slaps arbitrary around a bit with a large trout [00:02] sebsebseb: i must not have been in here [00:02] arbitrary: technically thats the upgrade to the geforce2 go, which is the geforce 4 chipset, but close enough [00:02] * cremmora slaps sebsebseb around a bit with a large trout [00:02] any ideas why my router restarts every half an hour in linux, and in windows it works okay (up to 8 hours, didn't test more)? [00:03] arbitrary: what versions/kernel? [00:03] sebsebseb: it's not in my scrollback [00:03] cremmora, troutslapping can move to -offtopic, please [00:03] * cremmora slaps drewby around a bit with a large trout [00:03] So is there any way at all to display my fsck errors on an external? At all? I've already made 3 posts about this on the forums, but everyone there ignores me every time I make a post, so I've given up on that [00:03] arbitrary:the restricted drivers? or the whole glx/kernel/driver package from synaptic? [00:03] * drewby frowns. [00:03] sorry [00:03] Wildburn: yeah Fedora Core 2 and 4, then Ubuntu since second relse for me. I just installed FC2, no Live CD testing first or virtualization, that came later for other distros. anyway not used it myself, but Crunchbang is meant to be a very good Ubuntu based distro [00:03] lol [00:03] this is harrrrrrd. [00:03] How long can I extend a usb cable? [00:03] 15 feet [00:03] I want to mount a webcam upstairs but my computer is downstairs. [00:03] max [00:03] !grub [00:03] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:03] seb: the only concern is is any other ubuntu based distro going to be able to load video drivers [00:03] ok now the bot does it [00:03] acording to the specs [00:04] alright guys i fond a link http://bayanijuan.blogspot.com/2007/07/howto-boot-ubuntu-fiesty-fawn-livecd.html [00:04] Wildburn: yeah it's ashame that Nivida don't have opensource Linux drivers [00:04] Wildburn: Ibex, kernel: 2.6.27-11-generic [00:04] found* There's so much documentation on this, but so much of it is crap or applies to slightly different situations that its hard to figure out. [00:04] arbitrary: restricted drivers? [00:05] Wildburn: Yes, restricted, version 96 [00:05] alright guys i'm going to reboot [00:05] you dont have to use grub if you dont wanto you can allwayd use win xp boot ini and add thye line witch it will get you into grub after the win boot screen [00:05] yeah or you could even use lilo [00:05] !lilo [00:05] lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. [00:05] seb: you sound like you know quite alot about linux? probably more about cli then I do at least, perhaps you could tell me where I would need to go to find possible errors on boot besides Xorg.0.log? [00:05] you can use anithing you whant === bigjb_ is now known as bigjb [00:06] really Arbitrary? well I am redling 8.10 cuz I dont care for 8.04 anymore since Ive got 8.10 on desktop, so after I reinstall ill give the restricted drivers a whack again [00:06] Wildburn: no, but you could get an offical driver from Nivida for your card, and try that [00:06] get you r self a spare machine load linux and screwwaround with it [00:06] seb:yeah think the problem there was everytime it needed to build kernel module it failed [00:07] dont be afraid of the software [00:07] Wildburn: yes the ones in the repo can be rubbishey [00:07] Wildburn: well next Ubuntu end of April, and maybe you get more luck there :) [00:07] Does anyone know how to display the output before GDM is started to an external? My monitor on my laptop is broken, and I can't read fsck errors to get it to boot. [00:07] Seb: what I was getting at is do you know how to manually build the kernel module from the restricted drivers? [00:07] seb wahts your real name? [00:07] Wildburn: I will upgrade when the beta is out [00:07] sebastian ? [00:08] for anyone else reading this, never upgrade Ubuntu early, unless it's beta, or your a developer [00:08] lerant my lesson with Gutsy Gibbon [00:08] hi, i'm trying: aptitude reinstall libgtk2.0-0 [00:08] and i get: I wasn't able to locate file for the libgtk2.0-0 package [00:08] Wildburn: Good luck with 8.10, it worked for me :) [00:08] Ellanceo: change the monitor in xorg.conf and see if that gets it across [00:08] why is that? [00:08] damm to geekey for me bye [00:08] My laptop monitor is broken [00:08] !exit [00:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about exit [00:08] ,because I ended up with problems, untill Gutsy was on the beta [00:08] thanks Arbitrary: ill be here during since irc is on the desktop, makes rebooting a million times easier when getting assistance lol [00:08] I can't see anything I am editing to the Xorg file [00:09] All I have is a root prompt, I'm looking for more of a commant I can just enter to switch it. [00:09] ellanceo: in terminal sudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf make sure the x is capitalized in X11 [00:09] er and put an editor in there [00:09] ellanceo, you can seee the grub menu and the console? [00:09] cremmora: what does it matter what my real name is? [00:09] why do you want to know? [00:09] how can i archive a directory and it's contents with tar ? [00:09] ellanceo: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:09] !tar [00:09] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [00:10] Like I said, my LAPTOP MONITOR IS BROKEN, I can barely see anything on the screen at all. Yes I see the very top left corner but that is it. [00:10] techsupport, "tar cvf file.tar path/" [00:10] I can see GRUB start, and then I get some fsck errors. Exactly what I don't know. [00:10] ellanceo:does it have an external monitor port? [00:10] ellanceo: ah right yes that issue [00:10] Yes. [00:10] But the external doesn't kick on until GDM starts. [00:10] so how can i reinstall libgtk? [00:10] Which won't because of the fsck errors. [00:10] ellanceo: ok graphics card drivers gone bad? [00:10] So I'm in quite the pickle here. [00:10] ellanceo:plug in a monitor to external port, then run recovery boot instead of graphical boot [00:11] Doubt it, it's never kicked on before GDM [00:11] ellanceo:recovery boot should output to both screens [00:11] i couldent stay out [00:11] Ah! [00:11] * cremmora slaps ellanceo around a bit with a large trout [00:11] Will try right now, will be afk so please hold your responses. THANKS FOR THE HELP! [00:11] * cremmora slaps Wildburn around a bit with a large trout [00:11] np [00:11] lol [00:11] uncategorized: uh, you upgraded part of your system to jaunty? [00:11] yeah [00:11] hey crdlb [00:11] that's bad [00:12] lol [00:12] uncategorized: beta is uhmmmmm soonish [00:12] i'd like to avoid that [00:12] uncategorized: alpha 6 probably be ok, but bound to be bugs here and there hummmmm [00:12] is there no way to reinstall libgtk [00:12] uncategorized: upgrading to the beta should be alright [00:12] uncategorized, cant you just reinstall it with synaptic? change your sources list to the intrepid ones first [00:12] Haha, Ok so I can't see which entry in GRUB is recovery...how many down is it? [00:12] how save changes on a usb after using unetbootin to install ubuntu? [00:12] one [00:12] Wildburn: there are no more jaunty servers in sources.list [00:13] but typing aptitude reinstall libgtk2.0-0 gives an error [00:13] that it can't find the libgtk2.0-0 package [00:13] and that it might need to be manually fixed [00:13] Ellanceo: grub on 8.10 only has 3 options normal boot, recovery boot memtest [00:13] uncategorized: ok I get what you done :d you thought you could get a later program by using the janty version? [00:13] mezy_, unetbootin dosent support 'persistant' save's last i looked with ubuntu. ONCE you install ubuntu via the unetbootin-thumbdrive. you boot the system normally... [00:13] yup [00:13] darn!! [00:13] sebsebseb: i wrongly hoped only a few non-system important packages would be upgraded [00:13] why can't i save anything as an SVG?? [00:13] uncategorized: you probably don't have the intrepid repos in your sources.list either now ... [00:13] uncategorized: it's not as simple as that, things have to be ported to the previous Ubuntu release. for example take Banshee, Hardy Heron has a rubbish version, but using ppa can run the Intrepid Ibex version there [00:13] uncategorized: try recovery console and fix broken packages [00:14] uncategorized: it doesn't work like that [00:14] uncategorized: find out about the ppa's [00:14] !ppa [00:14] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [00:14] For some reason I have what looks like 9 entries in Grub, I selected the second one and now i just get a bunch text I can't read, and nothing on the external [00:14] crdlb: i manually edit my sources.list, so intrepid is definitely in there and jaunty definitely not [00:14] ellanceo: ok yeah loads of kernels? [00:14] ellanceo:what version are you on? [00:15] ellanceo, if the laptop has a svideo out - try hooking that up also? [00:15] i can't find the package needed to allow gimp to create a SVG file [00:15] I'm on intrepid [00:15] Wildburn: can i initiate a fix broken packages without a recovery console? just from the tty1 [00:15] Looks like it's just doing another fsck [00:15] uncategorized: did you sudo apt-get update? [00:15] I dident think gimp could save svg.. since gimp is a BITMAP editor type program.. not a vector type editor program [00:15] uncategorized: believe so, but one of the more experienced CLIers will have to tell you the command [00:15] but i may be wrong === vita_ is now known as vbabiy [00:15] Yeah, it's just fsck'ing again [00:15] uncategorized: you need to figure out a way to find all packages upgraded to the jaunty version and downgrade them [00:15] more like fsck'ing up to me [00:15] ellanceo:sounds like you need to reinstall from scratch [00:16] crdlb: yes, apt-get update and also reinstalled the packages....i have reinstall all the explicit dependencies except libgtk2.0-0 [00:16] uncategorized: but note that doing that is completely unsupported, and may very well break your system [00:16] Mother-- [00:16] n8tuser, sebsebseb, i managed to finally boot it, thanks [00:16] and i can't seem to get libgtk to reinstall [00:16] You guys don't know how many things i tried or how long i googled. [00:16] Go team irc. [00:16] in particular, an upgrade to glibc is a big deal ... [00:16] I've had this fsck problem before, but I just can't remember what I did to take care of it. [00:16] E: I wasn't able to locate file for the libgtk2.0-0 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. [00:16] uncategorized:why cant you reboot to recovery? [00:16] drewbert: yeah IRC is good [00:16] for this kind of stuff [00:17] And reinstalling from scratch isn't exactly a good idea right now [00:17] Hey, it beeped [00:17] i can't find the package needed to allow gimp to create a SVG file [00:17] Wildburn: don't have a CD and would rather not create one...seems unneccessary...i should be able to do it from any command line [00:17] ellanceo: why not? [00:17] alright well I'm taking off! thanks! [00:17] !cd [00:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about cd [00:17] !iso [00:17] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [00:17] !install [00:17] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate [00:17] uncategorized: you dont need a cd for recovery, reboot hit esc when grub is up [00:17] I have school stuff that I NEED tomorrow, or else I basically fail my class completely [00:18] Yup, back to root prompt [00:18] i have installed XP in virtualbox....why is it that i can't move my mouse outside the window? can anyone tell me how i can get over this problem [00:18] ellanceo, so you can see the terminal/login prompt? [00:18] Well yeah [00:18] Wildburn: what is going to the recover console going to accomplish? [00:18] Gartral1: why do you need to make an SVG in gimp? Can you use inkscape instead? [00:18] recovery* [00:18] ellanceo:install and use the partitioner to shrink your existing install, then just mount that drive in the new install [00:18] DarkKnight: it's right ctrl by default [00:18] Not login propt [00:18] just root [00:18] DarkKnight, right CTRL key will release mouse grab in VirtualBox [00:18] i don't have inkscape [00:18] root@TheThingGreyBox# [00:18] ellanceo, you can transfer files to somthing else with that. [00:19] so maybe one of you can *almost* do what i did [00:19] is there a way to install ubunfu onto a usb and have it save changes [00:19] thank you [00:19] Well crap. [00:19] Gartral1: Yeah, but its freely available in package manager, etc. [00:19] Should I use threads or process for this: I will have a process that will need to go out on the network pull some data and send an email. This will not take more then 10seconds, It will need to process about 10,000 results every minute. I also need the works to be disturbed across machines [00:19] if you are on intrepid, can you add the jaunty sources and then do apt-get update [00:19] and then simulate an install of libgpod4 [00:19] crdlb:thought perhaps fix broken packages might reinstall glib from cd [00:19] and tell me what packages it is trying to update? [00:19] DarkKnight: I beat him to it, but I didn't really explain hummm [00:19] Could I load a live CD and try and do some work on it there? [00:19] yes [00:19] I'd really want to avoid a full reinstall. [00:19] ellanceo:sure just mount the drive afterwords [00:19] you can access your installed Ubuntu partition from Live CD [00:19] hi everyone. i have a question. I have 8gb of ram, but for now I only want to use 3gb (due to a wine bug on 64-bit systems). I read that passing the "mem=3G" arg through the kernel boot line in grub would solve this, but my system is still using the full 8gb. what could be wrong? I'm using kernel /boot/kernel/bzImage root=/dev/sda2 mem=3G video=uvesafb:1680x1050-32,mtrr:3,ywrap splash=silent,fadein,theme:livecd-2007.0 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 [00:19] uncategorized: what does 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgtk2.0-0' say? [00:20] I've done it at LEAST 10 times since Dapper, and it's getting really unnerving. [00:20] sorry wrong room [00:20] mezy_, pendrivelinux.com may have the info/tweaks.. or that ubuntu usb-drive tool can do that. [00:20] crdlb: Reinstallation of libgtk2.0-0 is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. [00:20] uncategorized: do you have your install media? [00:20] uncategorized: how about without the --reinstall? [00:20] hello i had a question... my computer has been doing this almost daily the screen randomly turns black and the only way to get it back is to restart the computer anyone got any idea how i can fix that [00:21] art_: yes I think so [00:21] crdlb: claims it is already the newest version...but i don't know if that means it is a "version newer than what interpid expects" [00:21] art:disable screensaver and fade to black [00:21] art_: have you got screensavers on? [00:21] Wildburn: no i am going from feisty [00:21] if so what wild burn said [00:21] Gartral1: You can save as a postscript in Gimp, this is pretty close to an SVG. But as mentioned earlier, since gimp is a raster editor, the resulting image will not really be a true vector image. [00:21] or put random screensaver [00:21] Wildburn: errr...i originally installed from edgy [00:21] uncategorized: sudo apt-get intall libgtk2.0-0=2.14.4-0ubuntu1 [00:21] i dont think so i can check tho.. where do i check [00:21] and have done upgrades since thatn [00:21] uncategorized: does your sources list contain the backports link? === bizkit_ is now known as bizkit === andyh2 is now known as andyh2|away [00:22] crdlb: that seems to work [00:22] Gartral1: Inkscape can take a raster image and convert it to a true vector image by tracing... [00:22] Alright, I guess a live cd repair is in order, I've had to do it before, I just figured i wouildn't have to go there. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP IRC TEAM! You guys helped me more than the forums EVER would! Mucho props! [00:22] crdlb: 1 is going to be downgraded! [00:22] uncategorized: yeah for slightly later stuff have backports enabled [00:22] good luck ellanceo [00:22] My friend's Windows install got corrupted somehow (constant bluescreen on bootup). He has two hard drives in a RAID configuration; any chance he'd be able to read the drives from the Ubuntu LiveCD? [00:22] ellanceo: wait [00:22] anyone know if i can have more than one ip address associated with one EC2 instance [00:22] Yeah? [00:22] I [00:22] ellanceo: it kind of makes sense to do a reinstall when it's next version, because then you can have Ext4 instead of Ext3 [00:23] I've waited for responses for weeks on the forums, it's pathetic the false idea of community on there [00:23] Next version? [00:23] Ext4? [00:23] yes [00:23] Ext4 as an option Ext3 by default [00:23] Well yeah, but I didn't even know there was Ext4 [00:23] Faster I would assume? [00:23] yeah it's a lot faster than Ext3 [00:23] I just installed Ubuntu on my other computer and now the sound doesn't work on it, how can I fix it? [00:24] I haven't tried yet not sure if I am clean instalilng this computer for it or not [00:24] anytime soon [00:24] Sweet, ext3 was really irritating me with how slow it is. [00:24] crdlb: neat...downgrading libgtk2.0-0 from 2.15.4-0ubuntu4 to 2.14.4-0ubuntu1. [00:24] ok i turned the the screen saver off... what should i do if it happends again tho [00:24] ellanceo: ,but I can try on someone elses' computer anyway so :D ,but only try through remote connect [00:24] ok...about to restart and give this a try [00:24] I got tired of waiting 4 hours to transfer 50GB to my reiserfs external [00:24] uncategorized: you don't need to restart [00:24] crdlb: just restart gdm? [00:25] ? [00:25] ellanceo: using a Live CD untill next release maybe a bit sucky, but once the stuff is in RAM things will be ok [00:25] uncategorized: sure [00:25] So is ext4 going to be an included option with 9.04/9.10? [00:25] ellanceo: or put Ibex on temporily a clean install. and then do another clean install of next one or something [00:25] Or is it some really long drawn out process that sucks terribly, like most things with linux that are better [00:26] ellanceo: yes it's an option with next Ubuntu [00:26] later Gparted that has suppourt for it === Tonio___ is now known as Tonio_ === Niamor7 is now known as Niamor [00:26] ellanceo: there was a speed comparision test and that, that I saw [00:26] ellanceo: Ext4 really did kick Ext3's arse [00:26] Good! [00:27] also this happends sometime... the volume in firefox doesnt work on occasion... well actually it doesnt work for some websites and it works for others... i didnt really see a patern [00:27] #xubuntu [00:27] I formatted my external to reiserfs because it was faster than ext3 but windows has absolutely NO support for it. [00:27] Really a pain [00:27] ellanceo: http://gmrpgsql.tumblr.com/post/73798984/initial-ext3-vs-ext4-results [00:27] I woudn't use reisterfs since that guy murdered his wife [00:27] murderfs [00:27] lol [00:27] WHAAA?! [00:27] let's not go there [00:28] lol, murderfs - that's funny [00:28] however the file system itself according to someone I have contact with from IRC, apparantly that file system is better [00:28] Zykotic: yeah, but not my joke, I got it off some linuxtoday.com comment or something for some article about it [00:28] I haven't had problems with it other than with Windows [00:28] also this happends sometime... the volume in firefox doesnt work on occasion... well actually it doesnt work for some websites and it works for others... i didnt really see a patern [00:29] crdlb: that worked perfectly! [00:29] They tested EXT4 on a 128GB RAM system? What the hell is that super-power nonsense? [00:29] then something about if reisterfs source code is on a reiserfs partition, that things can really bugger up [00:29] Is that theoritical RAM or what [00:29] yeah, cuz we all have one of those [00:29] art: try updating your sound card drivers? [00:29] and most distros use Ext3 by default, and there must be a valid reason for that === anon is now known as anon__ [00:30] how do i do that [00:30] art_, if volume works for some sites and not others in Firefox it has to be site specific and not too much can be done if you don't know what sites are affected [00:30] crdlb: now it wants to upgrade to 2.14.4-0ubuntu2 Ubuntu:8.10/intrepid-proposed....that should be okay i presume [00:30] uncategorized: that's fine [00:30] uncategorized: intrepid-proposed contains updates meant for an intrepid system [00:30] Ooooohhh. it's a raid, my bad [00:30] oh damn [00:30] Thought this was a desktop benchmark [00:30] crdlb: for information purposes, why was it that i couldn't use do: aptitude reinstall libgtk2.0-0? [00:31] uncategorized: because it was trying to reinstall the package that was installed (2.15.4 from jaunty) [00:31] it was being very literal [00:31] Is there any form of Ubuntu that will work on an old toshiba laptop with a pentium processor? [00:31] crdlb: i see...yeah i interpreted that command to mean: reinstall from the current sources.list [00:31] unliteral linux, that would be a nightmare [00:31] uncategorized: if it had been something less important than gtk, you could have just uninstalled it and installed it again [00:31] Anyways, thanks again for all the help, I'm gonna poke around and try and get this damn fscking problem to stop :) Take care all! [00:31] Thirtysix:how old [00:31] Thirtysixway: ok how much RAM does it have for a start? [00:32] Hey [00:32] anyone using moblock? [00:32] hi [00:32] I'm not sure, I'm guessing not a lot. It could barely start up windows 98 [00:32] ANyone noticed how in the gnome file manager to remove that 'these files are on a Picture cd - Open with Whatever" type comment/notification at the top of the file listing? its WRONG for one thing.. and its just useless info for another. [00:32] how can i move my files from my ubuntu desktop to my XP in vbox [00:32] sebsebseb: I'm not sure, I'm guessing not a lot. It could barely start up windows 98 [00:32] Thirtysixway: ok this is important === hey` is now known as oscuro [00:32] is there a program that anyone can reccomend to scan the ID3 tags of MP3s for duplicates? [00:32] Thirtysixway: I know a trick to get later versions of Ubuntu to work with 128MB RAM [00:33] DarkKnight, the 2 machines could use samba/shares to transfer files.. same as with 2 real machines.. or virtualbox guest addations allow the mounting of a 'shared location directory' from the host OS/ [00:33] Thirtysixway: and without that trick, the Live CD won't even boot up on that [00:33] Anyone know if the LiveCD can read NTFS drives in a RAID configuration? [00:33] Seb:he might be better off with tinyme or something along those lines [00:33] hey guys is there anything like "orbit downloader" for ubuntu?.. specifically the grab++ stuff (puts a download link under ANY flv video), or a similar way to do this (without using a network analyzer/packet sniffer) [00:33] Wildburn: tinyme? [00:33] sebsebseb: yeah I tried livecd of 6.06 and it wouldn't load [00:33] http://tinyme.mypclinuxos.com/ [00:33] I'm using Xephyr to login to a remote machine, after I login I can no longer use the keyboard because none of the keys generate the correct output, for example when I press 'g' I get '4'/// [00:33] apparently itll run on a toaster [00:33] Thirtysixway: which one is that? dapper? fesity? [00:33] Ok i think ive waited long enough, 3 hours// Here it is again [00:33] <_VIM_> jeeves: maybe Winamp + Wine [00:34] I guess im going to have to type a long report to get any feed back. I have reltek sound card on my pc, built into the mb. I have all the volume controls up but my speakers are only producing a faint sound when they are all up. This has never happened before, and has only happened since after i put in an obsolinte USB sound device, which has hence been rem.oved. I can plug head phones into the front ports and get audio just fine but when tr [00:34] sebsebseb: dapper I believe [00:34] Thirtysixway: ok if you put a 512MB or so swap partition on the hard disk with the Gparted Live CD. and then try a later version of Ubuntu, and assuming the computer has 128MB RAM. the Live CD should boot up properly. I am not sure if this trick works with computers that have less than 128MB RAM [00:34] _VIM_, I have Winamp running, but I need a way of sorting through 16,000+ MP3s, and deleting the duplicates [00:34] <_VIM_> winamp can do that [00:34] Can anyone tell me wtf is going on? [00:34] _VIM_, how? [00:34] Thirtysix are you in windows on that system right now?> [00:35] DVA59121, Checked all the audio volumems by double click volume icon??? [00:35] Thirtysixway: if your in Windows, it can tell us how much RAM you got easilley [00:35] is there anyway to fix troubles arising from Gfx card: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS aside from replacing it? [00:35] buzzomatic, the government is watching you. speak in hushed tones and face away from me when talking [00:35] seb: yeah thats where I was going with it [00:35] sebsebseb: okay I can try it. I may need to go with Xubuntu or something. But first I'll have to get RAM specs. The laptops are donated and at a shelter, they're not tech savvy enough to tell me how much ram is on it [00:35] <_VIM_> jeeves: I'd have to check, give me a few mins [00:35] hoho [00:35] Thirtysixway: no if you got 128MB RAM, Ubuntu will work [00:35] sebsebseb: I don't have one with me right now so I can't check [00:35] kenny__: depends on the problem :) that is an onboard card... [00:35] Thirtysixway: later versions, with the trick I just told you about [00:36] I mean with my keyboard input getting garbled [00:36] _VIM_, thanks. all I know is that there are a few in there, and I don't feel like hacking through them one by one [00:36] seb:yeah but xubuntu would run faster with that low of ram [00:36] Does the ubuntu php package come with PHP compiled with GD2 support [00:36] Wildburn: maybe depends on computer I guess [00:36] seb: my concern is if its win 98 your probably lucky if it has 32 megs of ram [00:36] arbitrary: taht's what i figured, basically i'm playing wow, or trying, and i got it up and running, just an extremely low framerate. worked fine with Vista or XP [00:36] DVA59121, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2008-November/166057.html [00:36] buzzomatic, well, that depends. are you using the right keyboard set? === _darkweasel is now known as darkweasel [00:36] sebsebseb: yeah it's a very old machine, pentium processor [00:36] Wildburn: well Puppy Linux and such for old hardware [00:36] as well as new hardware [00:37] sebsebseb: I could try puppy linux on it, but I have no experience with it [00:37] hey guys is there anything that puts download links under flv videos? or allows me to download using just the url? (ANY site).. or a SIMPLE/fast network analyzer (not wireshark).. [00:37] Thirtysixway: DSL Damn Small Linux as well, that will run on like anything [00:37] jeeves: where do I change that? I'm just using a generic US layout keyboard [00:37] hi all. I installed an Ubuntu derivative called easypeasy, which is built upon Intrepid, on a netbook (Acer Aspire One 110) and while in the live environment the wlan card worked, but after install it just didn't. I don't know if this is an issue with Ubuntu 8.10, can somebody confirm if it is? [00:38] buzzomatic, sorry man, I've never had it. if you have the GUI installed, check "system --> Pref --> keyboard" [00:38] filthpig: ok your using easypeasy right now? [00:38] jeeves: yep, that is correct [00:38] filthpig: your probably going to need to install the firmware and go ndiswrapper with the windows drivers [00:38] sebsebseb: as long as it doesn't say Damn on it I could use it. It's a shelter place for abused women so it's probably not going to like seeing the word "damn" on anything [00:39] filthpig, wirless on my AAO worked great with Ubuntu. [00:39] buzzomatic, then check to see if you have the right keyboard in there [00:39] nellmathew, does the VideoDownloader firefox plugin not do? https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2390 [00:39] but know that damn small linux is teh uglie D: [00:39] Thirtysixway: lol [00:39] nellmathew, FYI flash videos are samed in /tmp/FlashXXXXX you could copy them from there, or check for a Browser plugin, they exist [00:39] unop, haven't tried it - i'll give it a go [00:39] Thirtysixway: they will be using it as well? [00:39] I've tried DSL but for some reason I found it difficult to use. maybe I'm used to gnome [00:39] jeeves: that's what I meant, it is correct :) It's odd because when I'm at the login prompt everything is fine, but as soon as gnome starts...
