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
javatexanis there a way to regenerate the shortcuts in main menu?02:27
paultaghumm, interesting02:27
paultagjavatexan, shucks, I'm not sure. I usually use it on the command line :/02:27
javatexanI heard from Wine-headquarters that ubuntu generates them02:27
paultagjavatexan, aye02:27
paultagjavatexan, let me see if I can find anything on it02:27
javatexanthanks paultag....unfortunately my friend google has come up blanks for me.02:28
javatexanLOL02:28
aveilleuxjavatexan: When you delete Main Menu items, they're placed under a "deleted" category in the configuration files, ie. they won't be created again02:28
javatexanoh02:28
paultag<3 aveilleux02:28
javatexancan I delete them out of ther aveilleux?02:29
javatexanso they will be recreate02:29
aveilleuxjavatexan: 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
aveilleuxjavatexan: I can walk you through that if you would like02:30
javatexank...will check it out or try to recreate by hand02:30
aveilleuxjavatexan: 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 it02:31
javatexanlol, I found out the last one the hard way, that is why I had to reinstall :(02:32

jimbozhello05:15
Mohan_chmlHello jimboz05:15
jimbozanyone know how to adjust the color saturation in ubuntu?05:15
Mohan_chmlyou are talking about windows and fonts etc.?05:17
Mohan_chmljimboz: ^05:17
jimbozMohan_chml, yeah, total display saturation... like you'd find in display properties in windows05:18
Mohan_chmljimboz: look system-> preferences-> Appearance and then click customize and goto font tab05:19
Mohan_chmlI think that will help you (:05:19
jimbozhrm, i don't see saturation there05:20
AndrewMCjimboz: System> preferences> monitors05:21
AndrewMCTry 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 lol05:22
jimbozAndrewMC, don't see anything like that05:22
jimbozhttp://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/img/mediacolorenhancements1.jpg05:22
jimbozi'm looking for a graphical EQ for my whole display, so OS wide saturation and gamma05:22
AndrewMCjimboz: http://superuser.com/questions/173123/how-to-change-the-color-depth-in-ubuntu-10-0405:25
jimbozdepth is bit depth, not saturation :)05:25
Mohan_chmlGoogle is not helping with that ):05:26
Mohan_chmlbrb05:26
AndrewMCjimboz: You might want to try #ubuntu05:26

bpateli need help installing these drivers http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads05:43
bpateli think its asking me to edit the kernal05:43
Mohan_chmlbpatel: I have a question for you. Is your hardware not detected in system-> Administration-> Hardware drivers ?05:45
bpatelnope05:45
bpatelit only see one my video card05:45
Mohan_chmlIts not detected? Ubuntu actually checks for drivers and Installs them automatically05:46
Mohan_chmlI Can see install instructions in the link you gave05:47
Mohan_chmlbpatel: ^05:47
bpatelya i though thats what it did becaue i can get to the internet from the wired connecton05:47
bpateland going from System\Admin\aditional Drivers, it was able to get my video drivers but nothing eles05:48
bpatelone bit of good news i got bluetooth is working my laptop :-)05:48
Mohan_chmlyour wireless driver should be automatically installed05:48
bpatelam i just missing how to enable the device?05:49
Mohan_chmlclick system-> preferences -> network connections and add a wireless device and check for it05:49
Mohan_chmlIt surely is installed05:49
Mohan_chmlbrb05:50
bpateli ran the following command <sudo lshw -C network> and got *-network UNCLAIMED06:05
seidosbpatel, you might have to load the module manually with modprobe.  run lspci | grep Wireless to find out what kind of card it is06:09
seidosthen maybe we can find what module you need to use it.06:10
seidosbpatel, if there is no module available for your device, you'll have to use ndiswrapper06:11
seidosbpatel, 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 rtl818006:12
bpateldevice is Intel Corporation centrino Advanced-N + WiMax 625006:13
bpateli checked ndiswrapper and it looks like my device is not supported http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Category:Intel06:14
seidosbpatel, this might help you:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=152999306:15
bpateloh thank god06:15
seidoswell, in summary, try sudo modprobe iwlang06:18
seidosand 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
bpatelaccording 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
bpateli am getting (FATAL: mODULE IWLANG NOT FOUND06:30
seidosbpatel, did you go here yet?  http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads06:31
bpatelyup that is were i went to get the file06:33
bpateli am not sure if i installed it correctly06:34
seidosthere is a readme that comes with the .ucode file06:34
seidoshmmm, i'm not sure06:36
seidosstill reading06:36
seidosdid you install the lucid backports as well?06:36
seidosbpatel, ^^06:36
seidosyou might need the lucid wireless backports in order to get iwlang.06:37
seidosi'm not sure what good the microcode is without the module06:37
bpatelis this the command ?06:38
bpatelsudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic06:38
seidosbpatel, should work, if that is the name of the package.  looks right to me.  i'm running karmic.06:39
bpatelbrb, might be diconnected for a bit, dont have a switch or a so i need to move the internet cable06:39
seidosbpatel, i'm thinking that once you cp the .ucode file like you have, then run the modprobe command, it should work06:40
seidosall right06:40
seidosbpatel, you can just see if you can ping the gateway06:40
bpatel_ok im back06:43

GaleoHi. 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
serfusMohan_chml, hehe ya... i suppose you have masses20:34
Mohan_chmlGaleo: Suggestion 1: Never use Wine20:34
Mohan_chmlserfus: :P20:35
Mohan_chmlGaleo: why you like to use Windows Drivers??20:36
GaleoMohan_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_chmlHmmm..! 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
Galeoit 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_chmlGaleo: you read about wvdail or something like that?20:38
