javatexan | #ubuntu is too busy talking about video games...LOL. Can someone help...Wine die on me, so i completely uninstalled it and erased the shorcuts out of main menu (so it wouldn't duplicate), but when I install wine now, I get no shortcuts in gnome main menu.... | 02:26 |
---|---|---|
javatexan | is there a way to regenerate the shortcuts in main menu? | 02:27 |
paultag | humm, interesting | 02:27 |
paultag | javatexan, shucks, I'm not sure. I usually use it on the command line :/ | 02:27 |
javatexan | I heard from Wine-headquarters that ubuntu generates them | 02:27 |
paultag | javatexan, aye | 02:27 |
paultag | javatexan, let me see if I can find anything on it | 02:27 |
javatexan | thanks paultag....unfortunately my friend google has come up blanks for me. | 02:28 |
javatexan | LOL | 02:28 |
aveilleux | javatexan: When you delete Main Menu items, they're placed under a "deleted" category in the configuration files, ie. they won't be created again | 02:28 |
javatexan | oh | 02:28 |
paultag | <3 aveilleux | 02:28 |
javatexan | can I delete them out of ther aveilleux? | 02:29 |
javatexan | so they will be recreate | 02:29 |
aveilleux | javatexan: You can try and dig them out... but the easier way to do it would be to just recreate the WINE shortcuts yourself through the menu editor. | 02:29 |
aveilleux | javatexan: I can walk you through that if you would like | 02:30 |
javatexan | k...will check it out or try to recreate by hand | 02:30 |
aveilleux | javatexan: For reference... the WINE configuration tool is called "winecfg", the "Browse C: Drive" shortcut command is "nautilus ~/.wine/drive_c/", and the uninstallation app is crap so don't bother with it | 02:31 |
javatexan | lol, I found out the last one the hard way, that is why I had to reinstall :( | 02:32 |

jimboz | hello | 05:15 |
Mohan_chml | Hello jimboz | 05:15 |
jimboz | anyone know how to adjust the color saturation in ubuntu? | 05:15 |
Mohan_chml | you are talking about windows and fonts etc.? | 05:17 |
Mohan_chml | jimboz: ^ | 05:17 |
jimboz | Mohan_chml, yeah, total display saturation... like you'd find in display properties in windows | 05:18 |
Mohan_chml | jimboz: look system-> preferences-> Appearance and then click customize and goto font tab | 05:19 |
Mohan_chml | I think that will help you (: | 05:19 |
jimboz | hrm, i don't see saturation there | 05:20 |
AndrewMC | jimboz: System> preferences> monitors | 05:21 |
AndrewMC | Try there I'm not in front of my ubuntu box right now to make sure that's what you want so I'm running on memory lol | 05:22 |
jimboz | AndrewMC, don't see anything like that | 05:22 |
jimboz | http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/img/mediacolorenhancements1.jpg | 05:22 |
jimboz | i'm looking for a graphical EQ for my whole display, so OS wide saturation and gamma | 05:22 |
AndrewMC | jimboz: http://superuser.com/questions/173123/how-to-change-the-color-depth-in-ubuntu-10-04 | 05:25 |
jimboz | depth is bit depth, not saturation :) | 05:25 |
Mohan_chml | Google is not helping with that ): | 05:26 |
Mohan_chml | brb | 05:26 |
AndrewMC | jimboz: You might want to try #ubuntu | 05:26 |

bpatel | i need help installing these drivers http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads | 05:43 |
bpatel | i think its asking me to edit the kernal | 05:43 |
Mohan_chml | bpatel: I have a question for you. Is your hardware not detected in system-> Administration-> Hardware drivers ? | 05:45 |
bpatel | nope | 05:45 |
bpatel | it only see one my video card | 05:45 |
Mohan_chml | Its not detected? Ubuntu actually checks for drivers and Installs them automatically | 05:46 |
Mohan_chml | I Can see install instructions in the link you gave | 05:47 |
Mohan_chml | bpatel: ^ | 05:47 |
bpatel | ya i though thats what it did becaue i can get to the internet from the wired connecton | 05:47 |
bpatel | and going from System\Admin\aditional Drivers, it was able to get my video drivers but nothing eles | 05:48 |
bpatel | one bit of good news i got bluetooth is working my laptop :-) | 05:48 |
Mohan_chml | your wireless driver should be automatically installed | 05:48 |
bpatel | am i just missing how to enable the device? | 05:49 |
Mohan_chml | click system-> preferences -> network connections and add a wireless device and check for it | 05:49 |
Mohan_chml | It surely is installed | 05:49 |
Mohan_chml | brb | 05:50 |
bpatel | i ran the following command <sudo lshw -C network> and got *-network UNCLAIMED | 06:05 |
seidos | bpatel, you might have to load the module manually with modprobe. run lspci | grep Wireless to find out what kind of card it is | 06:09 |
seidos | then maybe we can find what module you need to use it. | 06:10 |
seidos | bpatel, if there is no module available for your device, you'll have to use ndiswrapper | 06:11 |
seidos | bpatel, but if there is a module, you can just type sudo modprobe modulename and see if it works. like if you have a realtek 8180 you can type sudo modprobe rtl8180 | 06:12 |
bpatel | device is Intel Corporation centrino Advanced-N + WiMax 6250 | 06:13 |
bpatel | i checked ndiswrapper and it looks like my device is not supported http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Category:Intel | 06:14 |
seidos | bpatel, this might help you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1529993 | 06:15 |
bpatel | oh thank god | 06:15 |
seidos | well, in summary, try sudo modprobe iwlang | 06:18 |
seidos | and if that doesn't work, try turning off the wireless via on/off switch, then turning it back on. | 06:18 |
=== Z3R0B0T is now known as zbot64 | ||
bpatel | according to the form i need to install the microcode, and i got the following instruction http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1529993 do just need to move the file to /lib/firmware via command <% cp iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode /lib/firmware> | 06:27 |
bpatel | i am getting (FATAL: mODULE IWLANG NOT FOUND | 06:30 |
seidos | bpatel, did you go here yet? http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads | 06:31 |
bpatel | yup that is were i went to get the file | 06:33 |
bpatel | i am not sure if i installed it correctly | 06:34 |
seidos | there is a readme that comes with the .ucode file | 06:34 |
seidos | hmmm, i'm not sure | 06:36 |
seidos | still reading | 06:36 |
seidos | did you install the lucid backports as well? | 06:36 |
seidos | bpatel, ^^ | 06:36 |
seidos | you might need the lucid wireless backports in order to get iwlang. | 06:37 |
seidos | i'm not sure what good the microcode is without the module | 06:37 |
bpatel | is this the command ? | 06:38 |
bpatel | sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic | 06:38 |
seidos | bpatel, should work, if that is the name of the package. looks right to me. i'm running karmic. | 06:39 |
bpatel | brb, might be diconnected for a bit, dont have a switch or a so i need to move the internet cable | 06:39 |
seidos | bpatel, i'm thinking that once you cp the .ucode file like you have, then run the modprobe command, it should work | 06:40 |
seidos | all right | 06:40 |
seidos | bpatel, you can just see if you can ping the gateway | 06:40 |
bpatel_ | ok im back | 06:43 |

bobobob | i was installing ubuntu server and saw the VM option and it made me think of that say for a laptop | 15:55 |

serfus | kristen, talk to us :) | 20:12 |
kristen | i cant get my cd rom to run, it makes a start up noise but then nothing | 20:12 |
kristen | so like an idiot i just kept clicking on things thinking that it would help. like if i reinstalled every program | 20:13 |
serfus | so what's now? | 20:14 |
kristen | so now i tried to download my driver for my new printer off the website and it just gives me...well a page of garble | 20:14 |
kristen | i just want to resore my system back to june when i got it | 20:15 |
kristen | can you help? | 20:15 |
serfus | but your printer used to work? | 20:15 |
kristen | the printer that presently installed works fine | 20:16 |
kristen | its the new one that i cant get hooked up | 20:16 |
serfus | oh, you want to restore... hum i'm not sure if it's possible | 20:16 |
kristen | ok so what are my options? | 20:16 |
kristen | thanks for helping me by the way:) | 20:17 |
serfus | i'm confused, what is that you are trying to achieve now? | 20:17 |
kristen | im getting rid of my old printer | 20:17 |
kristen | and i just bought a new one today | 20:17 |
serfus | to install your new printer or to restore your computer? | 20:17 |
kristen | the cd rom drive isn't working | 20:17 |
kristen | so i cant install the driver for the new printer | 20:18 |
kristen | and for some reason i cant download the driver off the webiste either | 20:18 |
serfus | what happens when you try to download the driver? | 20:18 |
kristen | i just want the cd rom to work and my new printer to work | 20:18 |
kristen | ould not open the file /home/kristendecamilla/Desktop/hplip-3.10.6.run using the Unicode (UTF-8) character encoding. | 20:19 |

serfus | and run it | 20:28 |
kristen | should they be read files or read and write files? | 20:28 |
serfus | it should have the x permission | 20:29 |
serfus | so you can execute it | 20:30 |
kristen | wow | 20:30 |

Galeo | Hi. I'm currently using wine to install a wireless adpater with the windows drivers, everything goes fine until it says to plug-in my adapter to continue installation. I plug the adapter in, and it says it is not found despite the fact that the adapter is recognized when I type lsusb in cmd. | 20:34 |
serfus | Mohan_chml, hehe ya... i suppose you have masses | 20:34 |
Mohan_chml | Galeo: Suggestion 1: Never use Wine | 20:34 |
Mohan_chml | serfus: :P | 20:35 |
Mohan_chml | Galeo: why you like to use Windows Drivers?? | 20:36 |
Galeo | Mohan_chml : until now, I didn't want to, but I can't get it installed another way, and even friends of mine skilled in Ubuntu can't get it through... | 20:36 |
Mohan_chml | Hmmm..! But It is not good to work with Wine as it will corrupt Us. And Can you explain what happened to your wisreless driver in Ubuntu? | 20:38 |
Galeo | it is the D-Link DWA-125 wireless n 150 usb adapter, I found a lot of explanations on forums, but it never worked. | 20:38 |
Mohan_chml | Galeo: you read about wvdail or something like that? | 20:38 |
Galeo | I'll read about it. Thx. | 20:40 |
Mohan_chml | Wait | 20:40 |
Mohan_chml | Galeo: tell me what you read coz I am tired of googling :D | 20:40 |

Mohan_chml | Hmmm..! I was talking all alone >:| | 20:46 |
Galeo | msg\ Mohan_chml : sorry, it seems I'm having issues with irc. May I private msg you ? | 20:51 |
Mohan_chml | Galeo: Sure | 20:51 |
serfus | Mohan_chml, ya, seems like this is a known problem but i can't find any solution :( | 20:54 |
Mohan_chml | serfus: try looking for it =] | 20:55 |
serfus | i am! and google is not helping me | 20:55 |
Mohan_chml | serfus: sometimes google may fail. But you can find a solution soon ;) | 20:56 |
serfus | looks like an awesome tool for ripping, but idk why dosn't like ubuntu or rather ubuntu dosn't like it | 20:56 |
Mohan_chml | serfus: try looking for alternate softwares | 20:57 |
serfus | there is a bunch of good ripping tools but they don't have some of the features rubyripper has | 21:00 |
Mohan_chml | argh! | 21:00 |
Mohan_chml | serfus: then design one Ripper by your own ;) | 21:01 |

suprengr | dvd ripper | 21:04 |
suprengr | ... can deal with drm if really wanted as well | 21:04 |
serfus | i want to use rubyripper to rip audio not dvd | 21:05 |
suprengr | soz... has assumed u had audio on dvd in need of it | 21:06 |
serfus | no. i have audio cd and want to rip it to flac, but it's ok... i used plenty of tools, just having problems with this particular one | 21:07 |
