[00:01] funny enough, that same webpage suggests replacing pulseaudio w/ esound: sudo aptitude purge pulseaudio && sudo aptitude install esound === _rwc_afk is now known as _rwc === _rwc is now known as _rwc_osa [00:28] will be back tomorrow, thks [00:38] hi [00:38] O/ [00:38] * GoddessNemesis is aka switchgirl [00:38] Can see :) [00:39] Did you fix your usb ? [00:39] almost [00:39] \o/ [00:41] thanks [00:41] i thin it's the desktop to be honest [00:50] What makes you think that? [00:54] darn missd him i was brushing my teeth === bgs100 is now known as bgs000 === bgs000 is now known as bgs100 === bgs100 is now known as bgs000 === bgs000 is now known as bgs100 [02:05] Hi, I need to install cuda sdk for using md5 crack gpu... i didn't found it it on repos, so i started looking for information, and i found a way which is downloading from nvidia.com a .run file for ubuntu 10.4, getting ggc-4.3 and making a couple of symlinks [02:05] the thing is, i'd like to be able to remove the package [02:07] just not just compile it blindy using the script included in the .run file [02:08] you should be able to purge anything you install on your system [02:08] ...... [02:09] "cuda sdk for using md5 crack gpu"? [02:09] yea that is a mouthful tbh [02:09] The um [02:09] the md5sum isn't anything you need to crack [02:09] It's not a code [02:09] sinnet: do you know what you are doing? [02:10] sinnet: you know cuda is only for nvidia, right? [02:10] yeah, i want to experiment cracking MD5 hashes using GPU [02:10] download from nvidia???? [02:10] i know cuda is from nvidia... [02:10] stlsaint: yeah [02:10] stlsaint: cuda is nvidia only [02:10] aye [02:10] i have the nvidia driver installed of course... [02:11] the propietary one, and i have an nvidia card [02:11] sinnet: you're going to have a hell of a time. I worked with cuda for a while under gnu/linux, and it was rough around the edges [02:11] sinnet: you can try and write it in python in five minutes [02:11] sinnet: just don't save it to the disk, if you try and do all 8 length combos you will be well over a TB [02:11] paultag: LOL...that was the first task you gave me and i still have yet to write that!! :D [02:12] sinnet: so start with md5 from 1-4 and learn from then up. Don't forget non keyboaord utf symbols [02:12] stlsaint: :D [02:12] stlsaint: sure was :) [02:12] lol... paultag [02:12] rainbow tables would be easier [02:12] sinnet: as you can tell, I've done all this before ;) [02:12] sinnet: but they take up terabytes to be useful [02:12] i know... [02:12] sinnet: and that's only for unsalted for under 8 chars [02:12] yep [02:12] sinnet: write it in python [02:13] look, i just want to use cuda enabled software === starcraft is now known as starcraftman [02:13] sinnet: it takes a few minutes [02:13] sinnet: it will take a long time to get CUDA running, and I spend my life on GNU/Linux [02:13] sinnet: it took me a long while, and I'm not a n00b [02:13] jsut saying [02:13] it's not easy [02:14] I understand... and i am not that of a noob too.. [02:14] sinnet: if you want to play with md5 hashes, write it. CUDA will only be more effective at large cracks [02:14] stlsaint: and since you are "just playing with it" I would strongly advise you don't do it that way [02:14] erm sinnet * [02:15] i wanna see if it is feasible to crack certain passwords... even cain & abel in windows is going slow [02:15] sinnet: then that becomes the grey area where we can't help [02:15] i could run md5 crack gpu in windows, but that wont mean learning [02:15] i am not cracking everyone mate... [02:15] sinnet: we can only help with 100% not-even-close-to-anything-that-can-be-illigal stuff [02:16] i generated my own hashes [02:16] and i wanna crack them you see [02:16] sinnet: read what I just wrote [02:16] sinnet: that can be applied to illicit stuff, even though no one uses unsalted MD5s, we can't go there [02:16] cant help with cuda?? [02:17] No sinnet, you are using it for that grey area. We can't help here [02:17] sinnet: go find some programming guides for cuda [02:17] sinnet: those will help get it installed [02:17] sinnet: good luck, don't fuck up :) [02:17] so basically [02:17] theres not easy way in lucid?? [02:17] sinnet: there is, but we can not help here [02:18] good.. ok [02:19] i have another question [02:19] totally unrelated [02:19] sinnet: what's up. [02:19] I figured out a way to use ffado and jack with my external audio interface card [02:20] sinnet: kk, ye [02:21] but i want to be able to connect what goes to pulseaudio to jack.. and i found a ppa that is supposed to have pulseaudio configured for jacksupport, you just have to edit the modules [02:21] so well, darn, it didnt work, rhymbox or firefox would crash [02:21] sinnet: that ruins the reason you have JACK [02:22] but it replaced the original libpulse0 [02:22] sinnet: it's for low latency audio, pulse would bog down JACK [02:22] i know, but i just wanna listen to stuff with my external firewire card [02:22] ffado is not supported in pulseaudio [02:22] sinnet: use JACK apps for doing what those pulse apps do [02:22] sinnet: mplayer supports JACK [02:22] rhymbox doesnt support jack [02:22] i use vlc for now [02:22] sinnet: rb sucks [02:22] umm.... [02:23] sinnet: there is a winamp clone for it as well [02:23] sinnet: and mpd works too, I think [02:23] audacius, but jack plugin is wrong [02:23] i dont know why.... it outputs low volume [02:23] I've never had an issue with it [02:23] sinnet: turn it up :D [02:23] it is really down [02:23] sinnet: run it through JACK Rack worst case [02:23] sinnet: and throw the gain up [02:23] ummm [02:23] sinnet: install patchage if you don't have it already [02:24] you'll be needing that [02:24] * zkriesse waves to paultag [02:24] hey zkriesse [02:24] i have jack control [02:24] sinnet: that's for controlling the jack daemon [02:24] i configure the patches there [02:24] sinnet: trust me, patchage [02:25] sinnet: I use jack in my recording studio, patchage is the way to go [02:25] k will try mate [02:25] sinnet: good luck :) [02:26] have you been using firefox in flash sites [02:26] with jackd daemon on?? [02:26] because it normally causes crashes here [02:26] sinnet: no, it's a recording studio. I take MIDI and audio in and record it [02:26] sinnet: I have a desktop for my normal work [02:26] you are lucky [02:26] hey paultag [02:26] and a netbook [02:26] i wish i could just use ffado throught pulseaudio [02:26] heyya Vantrax [02:26] i have a challange for you [02:26] Vantrax: sup brother [02:26] Vantrax: I'm here [02:26] sinnet: aye [02:27] sinnet: talk with the programmers who designed it [02:27] ive been trying to find a way to chance the face browser logo without using ubuntu tweak [02:27] Vantrax: what face logo? the icon? [02:27] the Ubuntu logo [02:27] well, they are not very active paultag, besides, you know, when i turn on the firewire interface, i have to boot to windows first [02:27] so it can output sound [02:27] Vantrax: /usr/share/icons [02:27] sinnet: wtf [02:28] Vantrax: just replace the dist-icon ( or something like that ) [02:28] Vantrax: it's all in there [02:28] that simple.... [02:28] Vantrax: just make gnome-vantrax and mod the gnome/ theme [02:28] Vantrax: don't forget the scalable svgs as well :) [02:28] its a bebob device, its just luck i can get it to work, because the developers dont have this exact model [02:29] sinnet: keep bugging them [02:29] so it seems that when i start to windows it sends the mixer configuration [02:29] sinnet: developers love that [02:29] i might try that [02:29] sinnet: lets them know someone uses it [02:29] paultag just want to change that one image, that is supposed to be a 64x64 png file [02:30] Vantrax: wait... I think we are talking about two different things [02:30] Vantrax: the GDM login, or once you are in GNOME ? [02:30] gdm [02:30] paultag, how much time do you have using ubuntu? [02:30] the face browser [02:30] Vantrax: even easier!!! [02:30] the applet you see [02:30] Vantrax: /usr/share/icons, there is a folder for the GDM icon set [02:31] which one is that? [02:31] sinnet: since 2007, before that it was Debian from 05 ish, and before that Mandrake from 2001 [02:31] Vantrax: sec, let me look it up. 10.04, yeah? [02:31] yeah [02:31] been trying to work this out for a few days [02:31] Vantrax: LoginIcons [02:32] Vantrax: Vantrax /usr/share/icons/LoginIcons/apps/64 [02:32] Vantrax: eog computer.png [02:32] Vantrax: that one ? [02:32] that looks like it, ill back it up and swap it and see [02:32] Vantrax: kk :) [02:32] Vantrax: you can add a divert and add a .deb for your mod, and use that for your hack :D [02:35] Vantrax: let me know :) === zkriesse is now known as ZachK_ [02:36] ewww ZachK_ [02:36] paultag: well i'm gonna connect on my ipod [02:36] paultag: so i change the nick and boom...there i go [02:36] paultag: suck it up pretty boy [02:37] noted [02:38] zkriesse: you should fix up yer cloak [02:38] zkriesse: it's still zackk [02:38] #freenode [02:38] paultag: I know...I've asked [02:39] zkriesse: what did they say? [02:39] that did it paultag thanks [02:39] Vantrax: sure thing, bud. Have a screenshot for me? I'd love to see the mod :) [02:40] can you do a printscreen on the login? [02:40] paultag: Dont remeber [02:40] Vantrax: not sure [02:40] paultag: when you use a software that is not available or updated in repos, do you checkinstall or create a package?? [02:40] sinnet: me personally? [02:41] Yes, what the seasoned users prefer [02:41] what's your approach [02:41] sinnet: I wrote my own package manager I usually use, but before that I usually rolled a crude .deb. Checkinstall has issues, but is nice for the new user [02:41] do we know what the screenshot app is called, i can run the desktop file on startup [02:41] Vantrax: sec [02:41] gnome-screenshot something [02:41] sec [02:41] Oh that's it [02:41] Vantrax: gnome-screenshot [02:41] paultag: what kind of issues? (send me a link if you want) [02:42] sinnet: with non-libtool make files I think it threw a shitfit. I can't recall exactly, but I remember it giving me shit, and one day I decided to ditch it [02:42] it's debs sucked as well ( the output debs ) [02:42] you would never give them to anyone [02:43] oh, yes, i read about that [02:43] so maybe the best approach would be to make crude debs?? [02:44] second best is never the best [02:45] uum [02:46] did you release the packet manager or is just a little private project?? [02:46] sinnet: it's not done yet [02:46] sinnet: I never release unstable code as production [02:47] but the source is public? [02:47] sinnet: yes, but undocumented, buggy and apt to drive one insane [02:47] lol.. [02:47] good luck with it mate [02:48] have a good day, night, whateaver it is for you [02:48] sinnet: thanks, I enjoy working on it [02:48] gotta go now bye [02:48] sinnet: later [02:48] Gawd. [04:58] hey guys first time Ubuntu user, loving it so far but i have one question: does anyone know how to get a Creative Labs SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio 24-BIT PCI Sound Card working on the newest ubuntu distro? [04:59] that's very specific :) [04:59] well I've tried to google it and i can't find anything before 2008 and none of those have worked out for me [05:00] hm, i'm wondering where to look to see if the kernel supports the card.. [05:00] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [05:01] im trying to follow this to see if it even sees my card but i dont know [05:02] lspci | grep Audio [05:03] hmmm? [05:05] that command might show the card [05:05] this is what i got: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [05:05] 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc HD48x0 audio [05:05] hm, a couple years ago they started adding X-Fi support to ALSA.. [05:06] what is ALSA? [05:07] i think its a script [05:07] like java [05:07] it used to manage sound on ubuntu, now pulse is used on top of it [05:07] lol [05:08] any idea what i can do to get this working then? its very boring being in this house with it totally silent :P [05:08] go to system topp bar [05:08] admin [05:09] hardwear drivers [05:09] it sounds like it should work out of box. it could be a few different things [05:09] the driver went opensource two years ago [05:09] huh [05:10] okay when i pressed hardware drivers i got ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver and thats it [05:10] yep [05:10] and the area on the creative site that hosts the opensource drivers won't load for me atm :/ [05:11] its what i did though i run 2 monitors well also [05:11] oh yeah if we're on the subject of that how do i enable both my monitors? hah im full of problems [05:11] goodtime: wanna help with that? ^ :) [05:11] took me 1 hour to figure that out [05:12] JackJelinek: the best i can find for the sound issue at the moment is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems [05:13] definitely not ideal, it _should_ work automatically from the sound of things.. [05:13] i just go to the nivdia drive settings there and set it [05:13] this one will have togo to it anyhow [05:13] oh yah, nvidia has the separate xorg settings thing [05:14] i know xrandr was used to handle multiple monitors, but i can't remember if that's the current or the old way of doing it.. [05:15] yeah thats true [05:15] i recently reinstalled this and i did it somehow last time by getting the catalyst control thing... but i cant figure out how to download it again. Linux is confusing... [05:15] does System > Preferences > Monitors give the option to add multiple monitors? [05:15] yes [05:16] JackJelinek: any new OS is confusing at first :) [05:16] oh yeah [05:16] nope it says it only detects the one... except its on both at the same time [05:16] chose [05:17] what? [05:17] ill be right back [05:18] okay got both my monitors working :) [05:19] sweet [05:20] that's progress :) [05:20] if i install the alsa driver for this will that maybe enable sound? [05:20] update your system [05:21] anyone know about how much of the uk cant get online [05:21] ? [05:21] nope [05:22] update my system how exactly? I hate being such a noob in this. [05:23] GoddessNemesis: nope [05:23] JackJelinek: alsa is installed by default. you can update by using the terminal or running the update manager [05:24] hmmm... okay. [05:25] aww] [05:29] okay i just downloaded 201mb of updates so hopefully it will be somewhere in there [05:30] wow.. [05:30] JackJelinek: Ubuntu 10.04? [05:30] whichever is the most recent. [05:30] that sounds right... [05:30] yup :) [05:30] sounds like you may have never updated since installing [05:31] yeah i havent... so lets hope this works! [05:31] * ddecator crosses fingers [05:31] trying to boot ubuntu 10.04 with old dv1000 hp laptop - hangs at broadcom bcm43# driver loading - i've turned off the wifi transceiver, no luck. Any ideas? thanks, [05:32] instructions on updating firmware are very complicated - not something I know much about [05:33] Megamoose: did you install the proprietary broadcom driver? [05:34] no, have not tried that as I don't get past the booting process - i'm working off a usb stick - gets hung up and doesnt let me get into ubunut [05:35] is there a [05:35] ah, ok. did you see a log that told you it was freezing when trying to load the driver? [05:35] a "safe" mode to boot up in? [05:35] there's a recovery mode you can choose from the GRUB boot menu [05:36] yea, gave me a web page for firmware updates [05:37] a web page? [05:37] thats differnt [05:38] trying to re-create to read the message [05:43] the message reads (in part) [36.951154 ] ERROR: firmware file "b43-open/ucode5.fw" not found, go to http:/wireless.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/b43#device and download the correct firmware for this driver version [05:43] also missing are "b43-open/ucode5.fw [05:44] oops [05:44] well that's strange.. [05:44] my laptop model is not listed - when i go to that page [05:44] hrh [05:46] unfortunately i've never run into a firmware issue like that before, so i'm not sure what needs to be done.. [05:47] Megamoose: can you boot into the recovery console? [05:47] kermiac: hey mate :) [05:48] howdy ddecator :) [05:48] sorry - dont know how to boot into recover console. [05:48] i can get to the boot prompt - what do i do then? [05:49] tasksel i thing Megamoose [05:49] think* [05:50] ok, when you're booting hold the left shift... ok, then select the 2nd line (should have recovery mode in brackets at the end of the line) [05:50] sorry - i'm a REAL newby! is "tasksel" a command? [05:51] Megamoose: what kermiac said [05:52] Megamoose: from the boot menu - select the 2nd line (should have recovery mode in brackets at the end of the line) [05:52] i'm booting from usb stick - it tells me "loading /casper/vmlinuz [05:53] Megamoose: then press enter... after it continues to boot you should have another menu. ensure your ethernet cable is connected & select netroot [05:53] Megamoose: hang on [05:53] Megamoose: are you using a live usb? [05:54] pluging in ethernet [05:54] the usb stick is one i just made a few days ago - ubuntu 10.04 [05:55] cool [05:56] Megamoose: ok, at the bootmenu do you have something similar to http://apcmag.com/system/files/images/ubuntu30.jpg [05:57] no, i dont get that far - i'm at the installer menu [05:57] run ubuntu from this usb, install ubuntu on hard disk, etc. [05:58] i have to stop the running to get to the boot prompt [05:58] so ypur live [05:58] your* [05:59] if i type "live vga=771 noacpi nolacpi" at the boot prompt, then i get to the point where it hangs with that message abt the b43 firmware missing [06:00] so the copy is bad [06:01] ive tried the same with a cd rom, downloaded twice the iso file... [06:01] idk about that much im a noob in many ways [06:02] heh [06:02] gootime: you prob have this stuff more in your head then others since it's still fresh! I appreciate the help!! [06:02] Megamoose: did you check the md5sum of the iso to ensure it is not corrupted? [06:03] yea, i should do that - but the stick works on a newer fujitsu laptop [06:03] the fujitsu loads just fine [06:03] sweet [06:03] Megamoose: if it works on another pc fine then we can rule that out [06:04] Megamoose: have you tried booting with the wireless disabled? [06:04] yes, disabled and still same [06:04] strange [06:04] i can upload the error message as i took a pic [06:05] Megamoose: that would be good [06:05] Megamoose: also, what model laptop are you using? [06:05] hp dv1000 [06:10] OK, here's the error message i get: http://www.flickr.com/photos/17789024@N03/4708440572/sizes/l/ [06:13] Megamoose: can you try booting by adding "nomodeset" to your boot paremeter? so that would make it ""live vga=771 nomodeset" [06:13] ok, will try [06:15] giving me the littledots below ubuntu [06:15] nope, no luck - same error message [06:15] about the b43 firmware file [06:16] even if i found the right firmware file, where would i put it? in the usb stick i would guess, but anywhere? [06:20] Megamoose: do you know what video card the laptop has? nvidia, intel or ati? [06:20] intel [06:21] kermiac; gotta reboot in windows to get the model [06:23] Megamoose: can you please try adding "i915.modeset=0" (w/o quotes) to your boot options [06:24] ok, [06:28] kermiac: ha!! i tried a brief other experiment: loading ubuntu 8.04 - it splashed the same error message but i'm in now - on 8.04 running off cd-rom!! [06:29] Megamoose: yeah, I am thinking that is more of a warning message & that the intel graphics & KMS is more likely to be the issue [06:29] i'm trying your suggestion now [06:29] Megamoose: I can't find the ubuntu wiki page right now, but the kubuntu wiki page should be the same - https://wiki.kubuntu.org/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes [06:31] kermiac: running your suggestion now [06:31] Megamoose: found the ubuntu wiki doc - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes === bgs100 is now known as bgs000 [06:33] kermiac: sorry, same error message - only in bright red font color, go figure! [06:34] Megamoose: please look at the wiki page i linked above. I messed up the command option [06:34] Megamoose: please see the "From the Live CD Section" - Add "i915.modeset=1" after "quiet splash". [06:36] kermiac: the "quiet splash" being the ubuntu logo with four dots below? [06:37] Megamoose: no, that should be part of the boot options on the livecd [06:37] Megamoose: 1) At the purple screen with a keyboard and stickfigure, press Enter to get to the menu. [06:37] 2) Hit Enter to select your language, and then press F6 and then Esc. [06:37] 3) Add "i915.modeset=1" after "quiet splash". [06:37] 4) Press Enter to boot the LiveCD. [06:37] !pastebin | kermiac [06:37] kermiac, please see my private message [06:43] kermiac: you can message ubot if you want info for yourself :p [06:43] kermiac: i'm in!! [06:43] w00t! [06:44] i did the complete line "live vga=771 noapic nolapic i915.modeset=1 [06:44] it worked! [06:44] very good :) [06:46] kermiac: thank you very much!! it's just about 11 pm in CA - i'm going to call it a night!! thank you very much again!! [06:46] no problems Megamoose, I'm glad it got sorted out for you :) [06:47] i think kermiac has earned some extra BT karma :) [06:48] thanks Dray :) [06:48] ok, I'm outta here - finally finished work, time to head home.

[18:28] !audio [18:28] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

Did you do anything toy our install? [19:13] not that i know of. [19:13] JackJelinek: did you install or remove anything that might be noteworthy [19:14] nope. I gave up about a month ago and never booted into ubuntu since yesterday when i wanted to get this all running so i dont really remember if i did or not [19:14] is there anyway i can fix it? [19:15] JackJelinek: it's very complex, there is a lot that makes up the sound system. The easiest way is to reinstall. This problem should _never_ happen, but for some reason you got lucky and got no sound daemons [19:15] ive had to reinstall ubuntu so many times. sometimes when i installed it the GRUB or something was gone i guess [19:16] other times my video card wouldnt work [19:16] JackJelinek: man you are not lucking out :( [19:16] ubuntu does not like me... [19:16] JackJelinek: you can try #pulseaudio [19:16] JackJelinek: they should know better then me, just explain your whole soundsystem is missing and you don't have /dev/mixer [19:17] JackJelinek: be sure to tell them you are new and to go easy on the terminal stuff ;) [19:18] thanks a lot for all your help [19:18] JackJelinek: sorry I could not help more [19:19] lets hope these people here can :) [19:20] JackJelinek: aye aye! [19:20] Hi [19:26] the email body to a particular team. I do have multiple hosts with multiple plugins. is there a easy and efficient way to do it ? [19:27] I am using collectd on ubuntu server 8.04. I have a special requirement is that i need to send png graphs which has to be embed on [19:27] the email body to a particular team. I do have multiple hosts with multiple plugins. is there a easy and efficient way to do it ? === kaushal is now known as krssup === krssup is now known as kaushal [21:11] gello [21:11] hello [21:11] I am trying to get my vpn (ultravpn) working again, but i always get this error: The VPN connection "UltraVPN" failed because there were no valid VPN secrets. What does it mean? [21:13] Anyone here who could help me out with a VPN Connection problem? [21:47] how difficult is it to find a copy of windows and than use that to install onto a separate partition? [21:48] it's easy. just buy it [21:48] :) [21:49] that goes against almost all my beleifs [21:49] i really just need it to backup my blackberry [21:50] well we can't advocate piracy here [21:52] ahh [21:52] gottcha [21:56] =] [21:59] what up punks [22:07] Ok, I updated and now my window manager will not work upon startup, I go into system and preferences, Visual effects and set it to Normal and it works. [22:07] Anyone have an Idea of why its doing this, did not happen till after I updated [22:07] Ironreaper: how did you install [22:07] The updates? [22:07] Ironreaper: did you upgrade or do a full fresh install [22:08] No, Ubuntu [22:08] I assume that's what you're using [22:08] Full fresh install, about 2 months ago. [22:08] Ok [22:08] What distro [22:08] I mean what version [22:08] No problems till after recent updates [22:08] 10.04 64 bit [22:08] Hm [22:09] The updates have ruined everything [22:09] Might be because of the 64 bit [22:09] I used to play games, using Wine emulator [22:09] Ok [22:09] And? [22:09] and the recent Nvidia update that I installed yesterday has rendered my computer useless to games [22:09] says I do not have a 3D accelerator [22:10] I do believe I will reinstall completely and never update. [22:10] Well it's good to update as it fixes bug patches and such [22:11] have you tried searching for any length of time or are you just frustrated and don't care [22:11] because being frustrated about this will NOT solve anything [22:11] I have been searching for 3 days now [22:11] finally figured out it was my window manager [22:12] hey guys.. does anyone feel like a quick lesson in C#? [22:12] sure [22:12] pedro3005: You giving the lesson [22:12] zkriesse, no [22:13] oh [22:13] xD [22:13] It's gonna happen in the channel ##learners [22:13] pedro3005: who is [22:13] to whoever may interest it [22:14] sorry, more interested in figuring out my problems first. [22:14] I'm do think I may buy Windows 7, I am an avid gamer and do miss playing Crysis [22:16] Ironreaper: ok well that has nothing to do with your issue [22:16] and windows seven sucks [22:16] case in point [22:23] he was a little bit of an ass [22:30] does anyone know how to install regnum online for linux I downloaded the linux version but it will not install [22:32] what format is it in [22:33] never mind I got it [22:33] thanks [22:35] ok now it says that my video card is unsupported [22:38] I do not know what drivers to download [22:44] what is the command to look at my hardware [22:48] ZeRoDeAtH50435: try lspci [22:49] lspci | grep video [22:51] did nothing [22:51] ZeRoDeAtH50435: do it in the terminal [22:51] I did [22:52] ZeRoDeAtH50435: try this: lspci | grep VGA [22:52] phillw: I hope that helps [22:52] ok that worked [22:56] my system is up to date but I still get "video card unsupported" [22:57] downloaded the linux version but it was a exe file [22:57] ZeRoDeAtH50435: that's wubi [22:57] ? [22:57] * Flare183 doesn't think that's the real linux [22:57] ZeRoDeAtH50435: that's really windows adapted linux [22:58] >.< [22:58] o [22:58] great [22:58] ZeRoDeAtH50435: The real linux, is only seen by you burning the ISO to a CD, and booting off the CD [22:59] but it was not a ISO [23:00] then you got the wrong thing [23:00] ZeRoDeAtH50435: 32bit or 64bit? [23:00] http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/index.php?l=1&sec=31&login=1 [23:00] 64bit [23:00] * Flare183 tried regnum [23:00] a while back [23:01] I never could get it to work [23:01] So I went with Eternal Lands [23:04] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3926 [23:05] says it works well with wine? [23:05] yeah the MMOs I played on win will not work on linux [23:07] winehq.org has a list of various ones, along with how well they work. [23:07] regnum is rated platinum, which is the best rating. [23:09] I do not know what drivers I need to install to get it to work [23:11] * phillw is not a gamer, but it is often asked questions. There are two places you can look for things on wine, http://forum.winehq.org/ and the ubuntu area at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=313 either should be able to help you. [23:12] do you know anything about openGL [23:17] fraid not, the people at the gaming section may be of help http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=93 [23:17] the ubuntu forum is not just about fixing broken installations :-) [23:24] is their a way to make a recovery disk on ubuntu [23:26] !recovery | ZeRoDeAtH50435 [23:26] ZeRoDeAtH50435: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [23:27] that will not here me if I put win7 back on my laptop [23:27] it depends one what you define as a rescue disk, you can 'photo-copy' your installation to use in case you really break something. having a seperate /home area is always a good idea if you like tinkering with things, as that stores all your own data [23:28] ZeRoDeAtH50435: you can make an area under the ubuntu installation that win will 'see' and install on, if you're using a win rescue disk, then you need to take a partition backup of your system to ensure you have everything [23:29] Hey all, I have a question about file systems. I'm looking to layer two filesystems, read from the primary one, and if it's not there, read from the secondary from the same mount point [23:29] yeah [23:29] e.g. mount partition 1, with a pristine tree, and then mount partition 2 over partition one to catch all writes [23:29] as a win rescue disk, as opposed to a 'real' win disk will re-format your hard drive. [23:30] I plan on removing win when I find the exact graphics card that this laptop uses [23:30] then unmount partition one, and have all changes on partition 2 [23:31] then this will not work because all I have is a win7 recovery disk [23:31] ZeRoDeAtH50435: well, it depends on what you have to use a backup media as to how & what to backup [23:31] I will to back up my hole system the way it is right now [23:32] I have a few OS in vbox also [23:32] want [23:33] ZeRoDeAtH50435: you could at using pybackpack http://www.ubuntugeek.com/pybackpack-a-user-friendly-file-backup-tool-for-ubuntu-linux-desktop.html or clonezilla http://clonezilla.org/ they are both fairly straight forward to use [23:34] ok I'll check them out thanks [23:36] paultag: AFAIK you cannot mount two partitions on one mount point, but i think you can divert writes. [23:38] phillw, do you know how, perchance? Even a write redirect would be a godsend [23:42] paultag: 'fraid not. [23:42] kk ty phillw [23:42] /away bbl [23:43] awayfail, paultag :P [23:55] hello iceflatline [23:57] * zkriesse is a bot
