[01:24] but not on every system...can't seem to be able to determine when it'll come up...i'm installing from the mini.iso usually [01:24] initial user cant burn either eh? or all users? or just some users? === Guest48175 is now known as zero === zero is now known as Guest39509 [01:25] initial user can't burn, right from the get-go...that initial user always has sudo priviledges and is usually the only user [01:26] why are you even using the mini.iso? [01:26] and as I said, this and similar probs with optical drives occur on many systems, but not all...maybe 50% of systems after clean install [01:28] i like the mini.iso because it's faster than alternate or livecd install cds...always keep putting off getting my pxe install server configured [01:28] i alweays thougjht ubuntu set up a /dev/dvd or /dev/cdrom /dev/dvdrw links to point to the real device.. could be the permissions on those are wrong. [01:28] I put the alternative cd on a bootable thumb drive.. makes it very snappy :) [01:28] of course all the updates take as long as the initial install. [01:28] exactly...hence the mini.iso...don't have to do updates [01:29] You just have to install everything to begin with.. over and over and over. :) [01:29] id say test out a normal install/dekstop and see if you can spot any differances [01:29] because initial install is done with newest versions available [01:30] or maybe get off my a*** and tackle the pxe install server again :( [01:31] i just set up a apt-cach server and let all the rest of the pcs in the lan use that one [01:32] yeah, but you're better at this kind of stuff than I :-) i'm doing so much other stuff (like marketing, ) i end up putting more advanced learning off [01:33] !find apt-proxy [01:33] Found: apt-proxy [01:34] well, bot?

[11:54] ktorrent [11:55] mefisto__: ok, next question. where's a launcher? to lauch ktorrent?

[11:58] is there some package that provides better firefox integration? I only see ubufox in adept, is it for kubuntu too?

[12:00] Dillizar: how do you mean by "doesnt have desktop" [12:00] I tried to install ubuntu desktop and it didnt end up so good, also I got 2 network manager applets and none worked [12:01] ActionParsnip well desktop in kde4.1 its just a widget [12:01] Dillizar: you are talking about the folder /home/username/Desktop ? [12:02] yes [12:03] Dillizar: if you want the Desktop folder to appear on the desktop as it did in kde 3, you can upgrade to kde 4.2 and switch the desktop to "folder view" mode [12:08] mefisto__ i point was that 4.1 doesnt have desktop but yet you can choose from two [12:08] :D [12:10] Dillizar: choose from two? two what? two desktops? [12:10] mefisto__: one more question.. how do I bring up the menu you mentioned before, not with alt-f2, but the other one [12:11] I installed ubuntu desktop, but it halted before it finished updating grub.. [12:11] bonez46: the default menu shortcut is alt-F1 I believe. or just click the menu button [12:12] yes [12:13] ok, I see the K menu button.. but there was another I accessed accidentally.. and it listed ktorrent and others.. but now I can't find it again, and not at alt-f1 either.. [12:13] bonez46: did you do the install in commandline? [12:15] bonez46: you have another menu? is it lancelot? or the old style Kmenu? [12:15] hmmm not sure. [12:16] Dillizar: I don't know what you mean. what 2 desktops can you choose? [12:16] as for the install of ubuntu-desktop. I booted with an 8.10 ubuntu disk. ran install.. it got to a screen near the end.. and just froze with blank screen and cursor. and that was it.. [12:17] bonez46: wait, I thought you already had kubuntu installed [12:17] in 30" .. I have downloaded 20 mb of a 1.6 gb .iso file.. [12:17] I have kbuntu installed. [12:18] but I think I am more a gnome type. just seems an easier interface for me.. so I wnat to installll it instead of kbuntu.. [12:18] bonez46: you can just run: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and you can switch over [12:18] ok.. [12:18] bonez46: you dont have to reinstall the whole OS just for a different DE [12:19] bonez46: yes, what ActionParsnip said. and if you want to remove kde completely, look here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [12:19] thats windows thinking.. :) [12:19] lol [12:19] ok..

[13:25] how about adept package manager? [13:26] doh [13:26] scared her off [13:26] i'll be installing it when i get home :) [13:26] jimmy51_: alt-F2 [13:26] :) [13:27] too late :) ALT F2 is good to know though [13:27] does it work well with sudo? [13:27] jimmy51_: but if you're thinking about doing an apt-get install that way, I don't think it will work [13:27] kdesudo [13:27] for graphical apps [13:28] sweet [13:32] hola === easy_ is now known as easy === easy is now known as Raver [13:40] 'Morning [13:41] hi [13:42] I'm having a slight problem. I have ubuntu installed on a usbdisk. when I boot from it I get a stage.15 read error. it works perfectly in qemu though. [13:42] in the grub console "find /vmlinuz" works but kernel /vmlinuz is not found. [13:43] I don't know much about downloading scripts at all but I see on this page http://arun.wordpress.com/2007/01/29/download-youtube-videos-the-linux-way/ that option three is the safest way to do this, so I was hoping someone would be able to help me do this [13:45] CostaRicanQuaker, dl youtube videos?

[13:50] flv [13:51] bazhang, can i switch flv to avi or mpeg? [13:51] CostaRicanQuaker, not much point as it will degrade it to the point of being unwatchable [13:51] will flv play on a windows computer? that's all they have at the peace center [13:52] yes [13:52] what about ffmpeg -i old-file.flv new-file.mpg ?¿ [13:52] Hi everyone. If someone is not too busy, I was hoping to get help with Skype capturing my microphone. I've installed a SB Audigy soundcard, since I fried my onboard sound card a couple of months ago. I can capture audio in Audacity but getting no luck with Skype. I've done some searching but just feel like I'm running into dead ends. [13:52] bazhang: I convert flv to avi all the time and they are quite watchable. [13:53] mefisto__, then you are less picky than I :) [13:53] mefisto__, what about ffmpeg -i old-file.flv new-file.mpg ? is it better to convert to avi or to mpeg? [13:54] CostaRicanQuaker: I think it depends on the original flv and how that is encoded [13:55] CostaRicanQuaker: look at youtube-dl man page. there is a "format" option (but I don't know how it works or how well it works) [13:55] thanks [13:55] np [13:55] anyone know a good subtitling app [13:55] i am getting gnome subtitles [13:57] !de [13:57] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.
