[00:37] I have an odd problem that I have not been able to find an answer for. My school no longer has an on-site exchange server and instead uses OWA hosted by microsoft. This can be accessed via Outlook Connector in Office 2007 which allows me to mange my email as well as my calendar. Is there a way to do this from Ubuntu? [00:40] hi is +jenugogue about ? [00:42] benny1, you mean jgoguen ? [00:42] is there a command to update all codecs to the latest versions? [00:42] benny1, that depends, how did you install said codecs/ [00:42] ? [00:42] Yes pedro! my mistake [00:42] benny1, tip: use the tab complete featur [00:42] I have a fresh ubuntu install and i have downloaded vlc. thats all [00:43] Tab complete? [00:43] benny1, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [00:43] benny1, try typing pedr then press TAB [00:43] what command would I use to copy a file from one directory to another [00:43] oh a bit like how the iphone finishes things? [00:43] robot682: I don't think so, but you might want to check out Evolution's documentation to see if it has a plugin these days [00:43] ghostofmybrain, "cp file /path/to/new/file" [00:43] thanks [00:44] robot682: I know it has an exchange plugin, but OWA is different :\ [00:44] benny1, well, actually the iphone must've copied the TAB complete but yeah :P [00:44] benny1, and the point is if you type mine or jgoguen's nick exactly as it is, we get a warning [00:44] easier to spot if someone's looking for you [00:45] pleia2: That's what I was thinking as well. I haven't seen anything I was just hoping I had missed it. Thanks. [00:45] * jgoguen looks up [00:45] see? [00:45] okay, Can U let Jgoguen know I appreciated his help to let me get access to my system again. i had no accounts with admin rights [00:45] lol [00:45] benny1, you can tell him yourself... he's here [00:45] ahh the man himself, *I assume* a man anyway [00:46] That's a dangerous thing to assume around here ;) [00:46] But yes, I'm male [00:46] well I got root access but I think it was to do with encrypting my HDD linux partition. i just reinstalled and Im up and running. [00:47] Awesome [00:49] I'm about to go to bed now cause gotta work tomorrow but can you copy everything off an ipod to another drive, but preserving the names of the files? or maybe I mean not preserving the way itunes has changed it to something else entirely. if I could get maybe everything organised by artist would be awesome? [00:50] anyways thanks for the help, I imagine I might be here quite often now... lol [00:50] benny1: If you have 9.10 installed, you could use gtkpod [00:51] I have 9.04 Rhythmbox has picked it up autoatically so far. I can use sybaptic to change to 9.10, right? [00:52] *synaptic even [00:52] benny1, you wish to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? [00:52] If Rhythmbox picked it up you may be able to just use Rhythmbox to copy the files off [00:53] I read some where that 9.04 is at the moment the best support for PS3. so I'm not in a rush, but that might also be the same place that told me to endlessly edit repo's in YDL 6.2 until i broke everything! [00:54] Does rhythmbox allow this? [00:56] benny1, I think so [00:57] pedro3005: i am currently running the update manager, to make everything the latest version for 9.04 I think.... there was also "upgrade" which I'm going to research a little before I attempt. I'd like to find out if others have it running before I attempt it just incase there are any conflicts wiht PS3 [00:58] benny1, upgrade will get you 9.10 I think [00:58] benny1, so just update the programs [00:59] pedro3005: jgoguen: thanks, time for bed now I'm gonna leave this running to update... Bye! [00:59] Bye :) [01:08] I installed Ubuntu today. First time to try something uother than MSW. Ubuntu is working OK except I cant get my wireless to connect. I use a USB stick on my desktop (linksys) and XP would just recognize it and connect. So far Ubuntu has been a bit difficult in this. Any tips on how I can get Ubuntu to recognize my Wireless USB stick?? [01:13] JinkhinJ1, what is the exact model? [01:29] WUSB 100 (v2) [01:30] Model of Linksys USB [01:31] JinkhinJ1, can you please open a terminal and try putting this in: [01:31] sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [01:34] sec let me move to the desktop [01:40] pedro, "E: Couldn't find package b43 - fwcutter [01:40] JinkhinJ1, are you sure you typed it right? [01:41] let me try again [01:41] JinkhinJ1, there are no spaces between b43 and fwcutter [01:41] sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [01:41] exactly like that [01:42] pedro, same reply "Couldn't find..." [01:42] i only spaced where indicated by your text [01:43] not the b43... [01:44] JinkhinJ1, hm, are you sure? it exists here [01:45] sure as I can be. unfortunately I can't copy/paste but did do it a 3rd time and still "can't find" [01:45] my text was typed as: [01:46] JinkhinJ1, try: [01:46] apt-cache search b43 [01:46] sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [01:47] nothing [01:48] just returns my entry line [01:48] JinkhinJ1, oh wait lol [01:48] jcampbell@jcampbell-desktop:... [01:48] JinkhinJ1, it's obvious why it isn't working [01:48] you've got no internet [01:48] no [01:48] * pedro3005 is stupid. [01:49] the usb is not being recognized [01:49] my desktop is away from a cable connection so i have to use a wireless stick [01:50] JinkhinJ1, ok, do you have the ubuntu CD with you? [01:50] yes [01:50] have it [01:50] JinkhinJ1, is it in the drive? [01:51] no do i need to insert it to cd drive?? [01:51] JinkhinJ1, yes [01:51] done [01:52] JinkhinJ1, hm, put this on a terminal: [01:52] ls /media [01:55] no luck on that "no such file or directory" [01:55] JinkhinJ1, ls / [01:57] ok it gives some different response now. i had to put the ls "space" /media [01:57] JinkhinJ1, yes lol [01:57] what does it say? [01:58] ls /media says "cdrom cdrom0 cdrom1 floppy floppy1 [01:58] JinkhinJ1, type: [01:58] ls /media/cdrom [02:00] pedro, "autorun.inf dists isolinux pics preseed ubuntu casper install md5sum.txt pool readme.diskdefines wubi.exe [02:00] JinkhinJ1, good, good [02:01] ls /media/cdrom/pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/ [02:01] type that [02:02] pedro, "b43-fwcutter 012-1 i386.deb" [02:02] JinkhinJ1, oh sorry. type: [02:02] cd /media/cdrom/pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/ [02:06] pedro, returns "/media/cdrom/pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter$" [02:06] JinkhinJ1, great :D now run: [02:06] sudo dpkg -i b43-fwcutter* [02:09] doing something [02:09] configure b43-fwcutter [02:09] good, good [02:09] fetch and extract firmware?? Y/n [02:10] i have the drivers for the wireless stick but i'm not connected to the internet [02:10] JinkhinJ1, press Y [02:10] done [02:11] brings me back to terminal [02:11] same line as before [02:11] /media/cdrom/pool..... [02:11] JinkhinJ1, did it say a lot of stuff? [02:12] "errors werre encountered while processing" [02:12] yea paragraph [02:12] JinkhinJ1, what sort of errors? [02:13] "resolving downloads.openwrt.org.... failed: name or service not known. [02:13] unable to resolve hostt address [02:13] "downloads.openwrt.org" [02:14] error procdessing b43-fwcutrter [02:14] JinkhinJ1, is there no way you can get internet? [02:15] just to this notebook but when i installed Ubuntu I erased ther XP [02:15] on the desktop [02:15] If I connnected direct with my Surfboard Modem would that possibly help?? [02:16] JinkhinJ1, if that means internet access, it most certainly would [02:16] Not sure if Ubuntu will recognize the Motorolla MOdem [02:17] This will take me some time thbough [02:17] JinkhinJ1, it could [02:17] Got to do some mving around of things [02:17] JinkhinJ1, what is your ubuntu version? [02:18] 9.10 [02:19] I may have to try and catch this tomorrow. My wife has a look of "throwing things" [02:19] Or whenver I can reconnect with you or some other good person [02:19] If I start movinng computers and modems it might get ugly in here [02:21] Got you on the buddy list and will print/save this chat [02:22] JinkhinJ1, :) [02:22] catch you on another round [02:23] thnx [03:39] sorry for my ignorance, but what's the difference between Debian Unstable and Testing? [03:41] what's the path? [03:41] unstable -- testing -- stable ? [03:42] As unstable never becomes testing, this codename is permanent, contrary to the codenames of stable and testing, which have volatile codenames (for instance, stable is currently[update] known as lenny, but was etch before Debian 5.0 was released). [03:42] Phrea, found that in wikipedia [03:42] I know about wiki etc [03:42] I just want a direct answer [03:42] Phrea, yeah the thing is I don't know [03:43] Phrea: when a package is updated, it goes into sid (unstable) [03:43] that doesnt say a lot [03:43] but I gather Lenny is stable? [03:43] pleia2: ^ [03:43] ...or am I wrong again? [03:44] yes, lenny is stable [03:44] ok [03:45] and sid is the successor? [03:45] pleia2: Phrea was looking for difference between unstable and testing [03:45] after a package has been uploaded to sid, if there are no major problems with it (bugs, brokenness) it gets migrated to testing after 10 days [03:45] and packages in testing are bound by rules of debian security policy (just like stable), those in unstable are not [03:46] so it's stable - testing - unstable [03:46] Ok? [03:46] basically [03:46] I'm learning [03:46] :) [03:47] I'm tempted to give Debian a try, but I dont like the unclearness of it all... [03:47] debian stable is a lot like ubuntu LTS releases [03:47] in fact, hardy and lenny are pretty similar package version wise [03:47] yes, that's what I'm to believe :) [03:48] but the thing is, there seems to be a lot of unstableness in Debianland [03:48] unstableness? [03:49] gheh, yes, no clear path [03:49] a lot of bickering [03:49] etc [03:49] unstable and debian? do they even go together [03:49] oh, that's just on debian-devel [03:49] individual teams do fine [03:49] so the releases are also fine? [03:49] as a project it's pretty solid [03:50] I keep hearing about all that bickering and stuff... [03:50] :\ [03:50] yeah, it happens [03:50] it's a big project and people get passionate about it [03:50] I've tried Deb before, a lifetime ago [03:50] ok [03:50] as long as they have their eyes focussed... [03:51] I can understand the passion :) [03:51] especially as release time comes near you see a lot of discussion and arguments, but things calm down [03:51] ok :) [03:51] and most of the people doing the Real Work aren't deeply involved in the bickering [03:52] I SO want to give Debian a try... [03:52] ...but it kinda scares me [03:52] on a desktop? [03:52] due to that bickering etc [03:52] the OS is solid, we use it on production servers for major institutions [03:52] pleia2: for instance yes :) [03:52] why not [03:52] ok [03:53] what kind of institutions? [03:53] if I may ask [03:53] but ubuntu has a *much* more polished desktop and desktop user experience [03:53] pleia2: that's why I'm here [03:53] a couple museums, a shipyard, some smaller businesses [03:53] and why I use ubu [03:53] aha, cool :) [03:54] I just use debian on servers, ubuntu is on my desktop and laptops [03:54] you manage those sites? [03:54] ah [03:54] :) [03:54] yep, I'm a debian sysadmin [03:54] good to hear [03:54] cool :) [03:54] and a debian maintainer ;) [03:54] sorry that I seem a bit paranoid [03:54] paranoia is reasonable, some distros have died over bickering [03:54] indeed [03:55] that's why I'm kinda worried [03:55] but debian won't be one of them, it's been like this for their entire life (15 years now?) [03:55] since Ubu is based on Deb [03:55] yeah, that too [03:55] true, Deb is old [03:55] huh, debian will be 17 this year [03:55] whoei :D [03:55] I started out with Slack [03:56] [dont get me started, I couldnt even log in :D ] [03:56] lol [03:56] * pleia2 redhat > debian > gentoo > debian > ubuntu&debian [03:56] I tried redhat too [03:56] :) [03:56] temporary insanity in the middle there :) [03:56] I did a bit of distro hopping back in the day [03:57] I never stuck with one tho [03:57] always went back to windows [03:57] back then, linux wasnt usable as a desktop [03:58] brb [04:00] back [04:01] well I hope your experience is different this time :) [04:02] hey, it was cool back then [04:02] just not easy :D [04:03] yeah, it still astounds me how easy things are now [04:03] I managed to get it all working, but it wasnt like a normal desktop [04:03] pleia2: indeed :o [04:03] I still cant believe it [04:03] I was so pleased when I plugged in a usb printer the other day and I got a dialog saying "HP blah-blah 3243 was plugged in, would you like to print a test page?" [04:03] it all just works :o [04:03] wow! and it worked! [04:03] indeed :D [04:03] gheh [04:03] hp always works on linux thankfully [04:03] yeah [04:04] what about the QNX demo disks... :0 [04:04] even more amazing :o [04:04] 1 OS on 1 disk [04:05] and it worked [04:05] there are other microkernel 'distro's now, like kolibrie etc [04:06] all micro kernel based [04:08] I only know to ask: 'HOW?!' [04:15] Hello [04:19] ;lo [04:19] *'lo [04:19] hey steelsteve [04:19] hey [04:25] so... [04:27] 'lo [06:34] hi guys... looking for some bluetooth help, if anyone has some time to spare.

[06:48] hi yax51 [06:48] I am trying to run supreme commander via wine, I can get it run, but there is no audio, I think I found a solution, however, I have no idea where to find them. Any suggestions? [06:48] http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12182 [06:49] In order to get sound in this game, sample rate must be set to 48000 and a few [06:49] DLLs are needed. These are: [06:49] x3daudio1_0.dll [06:49] x3daudio1_1.dll [06:50] http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?x3daudio1_0 [06:50] did you check google [06:50] http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?x3daudio1_1 [06:53] cool....now these are .zip files...is there any special way to unzip them? or just open them via wine? [06:53] however you wanna extract them [06:53] unzip works [06:54] cool [06:54] if you have unzip installed [06:56] thanks....also, I just put these in the /wine/windows/system32 folder right? [06:58] yeah [06:58] idk where [06:58] it usually says in a text file with the dlls [06:58] or in the instructions you got to dl them [06:58] system32 / windows are pretty common though [07:00] cool thanks...lets see what happens....hold on.... [07:02] ok no dice.....perhaps a reboot? hold on [07:06] hmmmm not working..... [07:09] can I run two servers through ubuntu server at once? [07:09] ? [07:09] what? [07:10] i'm attempting to run a couple of game servers off this linux machine I put together running the server edition of ubuntu [07:10] Do you know how to go about running both of them at once [07:10] depends on the game. [07:11] but usually just put them on a different listening port and they should run fine [07:11] How do I do that [07:11] and install to 2 diff directories [07:11] depends on the game... [07:11] ah ok [07:12] I will ask the people in that case. Thanks though [07:12] the *game* people [07:25] what s wrong with my command tar -xzvf? [07:25] mt@fmv:~/desktop$ tar -xzvf /home/mt/downloads/pywings-1.1.tar.gz /home/mt/desktop/ [07:25] tar: /home/mt/desktop: Not found in archive [07:25] tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors [07:26] why can't I extract it in ~/desktop [08:07] anyone have any issues with empathy? not being able to /msg anyone or do any of the commands? [08:24] Anyone have any issues with Empathy? [08:24] yax51: what sort of issues [08:24] not being able to enter any commands such as /msg or anything [08:25] yax51: yeah I think empathy doesn't support irc commands [08:26] aaaah I see....ok then.....how about pidgin? is that a good client?I've heard about it in passing, but nothing much else [08:27] yax51: for IRC? [08:27] that and other IM clients such as MSN and AOL.... [08:27] yax51: pidgin is okay [08:28] but for IRC you could use xchat or some other irc client [08:28] ok cool [08:30] I'm actually waiting for digsby.... [08:32] yax51: that sounds kinda cool [08:33] I like it....I use it in windows. the biggest thing I like is the facebook chat client.... [08:33] well, empathy lets you chat on facebook too [08:33] so does pidgin [08:34] really I only see the myspace.... [08:34] facebook is just a jabber server these days [08:34] ooooh I might have to check it out..... [08:35] their jabber server is chat.facebook.com [08:35] select a jabber server and enter your username as @chat.facebook.com [08:38] what about my login and password? do I need to create a new one? or can I use my facebook login and password? [08:38] use your login as username@chat.facebook.com and facebook password [08:40] hmmm it gives me a network error.... [08:40] yax51: you selected jabber? [08:40] your facebook login name is the name that shows up in the facebook url for your profile [08:41] oh well, did you replace username with your facebook login? [08:41] yes [08:42] oh well....its not that big of a deal..thanks though!!

I'm not that great with gaming [08:51] talsemgeest: ^ thoughts? [08:51] yax51: If you dont find much help, you can ask on the forums youself [08:51] One sec, lemme read up [08:52] Eek sorry, Im no good with sound problems [08:53] hehe [08:54] eh, oh well thanks though!! [09:45] does anyone know what other program to run windows software I can use other then wine? [09:46] yax51: Running windows software is a very complicated task, and wine is the only free project that allows you to do so. There are other for-pay programs such as crossover that are written with the same codebase as wine however [09:46] yax51 crossover [09:46] crossover games [09:47] lol talsemgeest [09:47] and goodmorning [09:47] Hehe, hey leoquant :) [09:47] thanks [11:47] i have just installed the banshee media player. the first time i used the program it worked fine. now when i try to start it up, it crashed before it opens. i have tried unitstalling and re-installing with no better results [11:47] what can i do in the terminal to check what errors it has? [11:48] run it from the terminal with banshee [11:49] sorry. um. what process would i run? [11:50] banshee [11:50] just that :) [11:53] i have done that but the terminal is just idle now [11:53] doing nothing [11:56] try sudo killall banshee &&banshee [11:57] no process found [11:57] its weird. it was working now its not. [11:58] im awesome at windows, how to i do a complete uninstall for it, and start again? because i know that some traces are normally left behind with an uninstall [11:58] of banshee? [11:58] or windows - I use format for that lol :) [11:59] Brodz987: if it is banshee, then it's fairly simple - in fact I have just done the same thing 30 minutes ago [11:59] banshee [11:59] windows is gone [11:59] forever..... thank god [12:00] open nautius - assuming you are using ubuntu - then ctrl+h to see the hidden file [12:00] hobgoblin: yes please help. ive got no clue whats wrong [12:00] you will find banshee in .cache .config and in .gconf/apps - delete only the banshee folders [12:01] sorry im very new. yes ubuntu. where is nautius?
