kaushal | hi | 08:34 |
kaushal | Please guide me about http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/548164/ on Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 | 08:35 |
kaushal | Wireless doesnot work | 08:35 |
MartijnVdS | 9.10? why not 10.04 or 10.10? | 08:38 |
MartijnVdS | those havebetter broadcom drivers | 08:38 |
MartijnVdS | also, 10.04 is LTS so it's supported for longer (support for 9.10 will end in april, I think?) | 08:38 |
kaushal | ok | 08:48 |
kaushal | MartijnVdS: Thanks. I do know it | 08:48 |
kaushal | but at the moment any workaround ? | 08:48 |
MartijnVdS | I don't know.. broadcom is a weird beast, driver-wise | 08:49 |
kaushal | :( | 08:52 |

nperry | Hmm, just seen an email in my spam from Doug Boner. No imagination about these names :/ | 09:26 |
MartijnVdS | Phineas: In Starcraft, when you create a Dragoon, the first thing it says when it's done is "I have returned" | 09:26 |
MartijnVdS | Phineas: "Za Khaladas" is one of the things it says when you click it (to give it orders :) | 09:26 |
Phineas | nperry, do i know you from somewhere? | 09:27 |
Phineas | MartijnVdS, oh i see, kinda | 09:27 |

Phineas | nperry, nopr | 09:28 |
Phineas | npe | 09:28 |
Phineas | nope | 09:29 |
nperry | I wouldn't of been happy if you were filling my spam box | 09:29 |
Phineas | MartijnVdS, that voice is just plain funny | 09:30 |
nperry | Not to sure I like Linkin Park's new album :( | 09:31 |
MartijnVdS | Phineas: all of Starcraft is :) | 09:31 |
Phineas | MartijnVdS, is that one of those "it's not for linux" games | 09:31 |
Phineas | ? | 09:34 |
Phineas | nperry, never herd of him | 09:34 |

Phineas | MartijnVdS, oh ok i am trying a free demo (i think its a demo) | 09:42 |
Phineas | MartijnVdS, looks allot like Warhammer | 09:46 |
MartijnVdS | it's a lot like warcraft in space (but don't call it that ;)) | 09:47 |
Phineas | MartijnVdS, i will play some more later as its fullscreen | 09:48 |

MartijnVdS | cnee? | 10:47 |
MartijnVdS | what's a cnee? | 10:47 |
misabur | a macro utility | 10:47 |
misabur | see synaptic :-) | 10:47 |
misabur | FYI, I had done an xorg record entry | 10:49 |
misabur | But this did not help | 10:49 |
MartijnVdS | sounds like the Xorg record extension is broken | 10:50 |

dutchie | any suggestions for what to do with a laptop that had a minor beer accident last night? | 12:57 |
UbuntuBhoy | let it dry before attaching power | 12:57 |
dutchie | it spent last night in several pieces in the airing cupboard | 12:57 |
UbuntuBhoy | 48 hours dry | 12:57 |
popey | yes, but all hinge on you doing the corrective action last night, not now | 12:57 |
Pendulum | dutchie: pray. I had a minor milk incident with a laptop last october and it took until this October to start showing problems | 12:58 |
dutchie | hmm | 12:58 |
Pendulum | (and I did all the "correct" actions at the time) | 12:58 |
dutchie | last night i pulled the power and battery and got it apart as quick as i could | 12:58 |
UbuntuBhoy | thats right, now you can only give it time | 12:58 |
sprite | dutchie, take battery out, put in airing cupboard, wash keyboard and leave both for few days t dry | 12:58 |
dutchie | wash keyboard? | 12:59 |
dutchie | cloth, or full immersion, or what? | 12:59 |
sprite | unless u wnt sticky keys ;) | 12:59 |
UbuntuBhoy | it should just pop out if its newish | 12:59 |
UbuntuBhoy | google for your model | 12:59 |
sprite | immersion | 12:59 |
sprite | use chemicals tht displace water after to avoid rust | 13:00 |
dutchie | sigh | 13:00 |
sprite | sh!t happens | 13:00 |
dutchie | looks like i will have to head to maplins for such chemicals and better screwdrivers when it's open again | 13:00 |
dutchie | i'm not too worried, i spilt it on the opposite side to the HD so the data should be ok | 13:01 |
dutchie | so back in the airing cupboard in the meantime? | 13:01 |
sprite | just to be safe | 13:02 |
sprite | and oil, wd40 displace water | 13:02 |
dutchie | dunno if we have any wd40 left | 13:03 |
dutchie | but thanks | 13:03 |

pauliunx | hi,can anyone help me, I keep getting a "An error has occured while mounting /etc/fstab' option and I tried everything to get rid of it but it just won't go away, thanls | 13:22 |
marsilainen | pauliunx: when is that error occurring? on boot? | 13:23 |
pauliunx | yes | 13:23 |
marsilainen | pauliunx: perhaps you could pastebin the contents of your /etc/fstab? | 13:24 |
marsilainen | !pastebin | 13:24 |
lubotu3 | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 13:24 |
pauliunx | marsilainen sure | 13:24 |
pauliunx | marsilainen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/548224/ | 13:26 |
marsilainen | pauliunx: line 14 seems to start with 'd#' | 13:27 |
marsilainen | shouldn't that just be '#' | 13:27 |
marsilainen | I assume that the 'd' there is just a mistake | 13:27 |
pauliunx | here's the fdisk -l : http://paste.ubuntu.com/548225/ | 13:27 |
pauliunx | oh | 13:28 |
pauliunx | should I reboot to see if that did it? | 13:28 |
marsilainen | I guess that whole line just got pasted in there by accident | 13:28 |
marsilainen | sure | 13:28 |
pauliunx | [ i honestly completly missed that] | 13:28 |
pauliunx | thanks, will do so now | 13:28 |

AlanBell | pauliunx: line 14 of fstab, what is that first character? | 13:47 |

dutchie | term proper then starts on the 26th | 14:01 |
dutchie | 16th* | 14:01 |
danfish | :( I've never understood why uni's do that - it's like here, have a nice long hols, but we'll hold some exams just to really irritate you | 14:01 |
penguin42 | yeh don't relax, cram your brains | 14:01 |
dutchie | too late | 14:02 |
jpds | danfish: To prepare them for life. | 14:02 |
dutchie | i have already relaxed and my brain has turned into mush | 14:02 |
danfish | jpds: too true. January is the worst month of the year. Very little to look forwards to | 14:03 |

MartijnVdS | *writes patent application* | 16:54 |
brobostigon | lol | 16:54 |
danfish | MartijnVdS: hehe - but as we are relatively north, the long hours of daylight are rather good | 16:55 |
* danfish wonders how much electricity the Dutch could generate if all bicycles has dynamos and batteries :P | 16:56 | |
YaManicKill | danfish: haha that sounds awesome | 16:56 |
MartijnVdS | danfish: well, generators on bicycles don't generate much power | 16:57 |
MartijnVdS | danfish: I calculated it once, when I wanted to charge my laptop and phone off my hub dynamo :) | 16:58 |
MartijnVdS | (turns out it's hard to impossible) | 16:58 |
MartijnVdS | Now gyms.. those could be self-powered ;) | 16:58 |
danfish | MartijnVdS: I've often thought that :) All that wasted gym energy | 16:59 |
MartijnVdS | "Want to watch TV? Bike faster!" | 16:59 |
* danfish senses a definite patent application :D | 16:59 | |
danfish | during the recent snow, the local gym closed it's car park - it begged the obvious question - why waste energy running on a 'hamster wheel' when you'd get a much better workout with a snow shovel! | 17:01 |
MartijnVdS | danfish: a local gym here gives a discount if you don't need a parking space :) | 17:03 |
MartijnVdS | because they only have 10 or so | 17:04 |
skybinary | hi, i installed ubuntu 10.10 from usb, went well, i added the totem plugin for dvb-t, went well it found loads of channels from my local transmitter, but totem will not play :( | 17:05 |

MartijnVdS | danfish: yeah, they sell it as if they want to help you being/becoming healthier :) | 17:09 |
danfish | MartijnVdS: I've vowed (yet again!) to cycle into work next year | 17:15 |
skybinary | ok kewl, kaffeine works, as long as i kill gnome-dvb-daemon from processes | 17:18 |
MartijnVdS | skybinary: because g-d-d grabs the device (to do recordings etc.) | 17:19 |
skybinary | MartijnVdS, aww shame , i would prefer to use totem but | 17:19 |
MartijnVdS | well, totem talks to g-d-d as well | 17:19 |
MartijnVdS | so it should work | 17:20 |
skybinary | i think it needs more development for it to work | 17:20 |
MartijnVdS | yeah, I'm waiting for DiSEqC support | 17:20 |
MartijnVdS | (so it can address multiple satellites/LNBs properly) | 17:21 |
MartijnVdS | also, DVB-S2 would be nice | 17:21 |
skybinary | i am hoping now i can copy over the sqlite.db from my old kaffeine install of ubuntu to this, | 17:23 |
mbana | i don't like how the the taskbar groups up pidgin | 17:29 |
mbana | how do i stop this? | 17:29 |
MartijnVdS | mbana: on the left there's a "handle" (just next to the desktop button) | 17:30 |
MartijnVdS | brobostigon: right click on the handle, "Preferences" | 17:30 |
MartijnVdS | uhr | 17:30 |
MartijnVdS | mbana: right click on the handle, select "Preferences" | 17:30 |
brobostigon | MartijnVdS: wrong perosn i think. | 17:30 |

mbana | i can't find it | 17:31 |
mbana | nor can i right click on pisgin | 17:32 |
mbana | pidgin | 17:32 |
MartijnVdS | mbana: you need to right click on the small bit between the leftmost program in the task list and the "desktop" icon | 17:32 |
MartijnVdS | it has a few (hard to see) tiny lines in it | 17:32 |
popey | evening | 17:33 |

MartijnVdS | mbana: it has been the same for a few versions now :) | 17:33 |
skybinary | serious improvements with 10.10, the nvidia setup now overcomes the failed config file fphew! | 17:35 |
mbana | not seeing preferences in the right click menu option | 17:36 |
MartijnVdS | mbana: what do you see? | 17:36 |
mbana | about, remove, move and lock to panel | 17:37 |
MartijnVdS | mbana: try "about", I want to know what you're right-clicking on :) | 17:37 |
mbana | Indicator Applet 0.3.7 | 17:37 |
MartijnVdS | mbana: ah.. but that's top right, not bottom left :) | 17:39 |
MartijnVdS | mbana: I assumed you meant window grouping in the bottom task bar :) | 17:39 |

MartijnVdS | kvarley: you need to install the development bits of the libraries it needs | 18:18 |
MartijnVdS | libsdl-dev in this case, I guess | 18:18 |

kvarley | Does that mean I need vorbis dev or something> | 18:30 |
kvarley | *? | 18:30 |
MartijnVdS | kvarley: install "apt-file", then use "apt-file search vorbis/vorbisfile.h" | 18:30 |
MartijnVdS | !info apt-file | 18:31 |
lubotu3 | apt-file (source: apt-file): search for files within Debian packages (command-line interface). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4.0 (maverick), package size 30 kB, installed size 188 kB | 18:31 |
MattJ | or http://packages.ubuntu.com/ - scroll down to "Search the contents of packages" and type in the missing filename | 18:31 |
MartijnVdS | MattJ: but that's slower | 18:31 |
MattJ | Depends :) | 18:31 |
kvarley | MattJ: Thanks that worked, although it's still not compiling. However, I think I do have all the dependencies. | 18:38 |
MattJ | Error? | 18:38 |
kvarley | "undefined reference to `IMG_Load'" | 18:38 |
MattJ | How did you fix the missing sdl-config? | 18:39 |
kvarley | Using that app-file | 18:40 |
MartijnVdS | libsdl1.2-dev is only the base | 18:40 |
MartijnVdS | you might need more bits (libsdl1.2-image-dev or something) | 18:40 |
kvarley | I have libsdl1.2-image-dev | 18:40 |
kvarley | And libsdl1.2-dev | 18:41 |
MartijnVdS | you might have to run configure again? | 18:47 |
kvarley | The audio on quake wars is delayed by about 30seconds. How can I fix this? I tried doing this: http://napalmpiri.wordpress.com/2010/12/17/enemy-territory-quake-wars-sound-works-again-on-ubuntu-maverick-10-10/ but it says permission denied | 19:00 |
suprengr | Boo! | 19:24 |

MartijnVdS | DJones: *YAWN* | 19:33 |

MartijnVdS | "?spinner" ? | 19:41 |
MartijnVdS | missing unicode char? | 19:42 |
DJones | MartijnVdS: That showed as a "£" for me, not "?" | 19:43 |
MartijnVdS | DJones: you must be converting latin1 automagically :) | 19:43 |
* MartijnVdS utf8s -> £ | 19:43 | |
MartijnVdS | DJones: yours shows up fine | 19:43 |
suprengr | [thanks DJones] | 19:43 |
* suprengr thinks... type word pounds & help the poor souls? | 19:44 | |
MartijnVdS | nah, just upgrade to the 21st century by using UTF8 :) | 19:45 |
suprengr | ;) | 19:45 |
suprengr | wot... upgrade... is swearing allowed on this channel? | 19:45 |
MartijnVdS | suprengr: we're not cybermen. We don't mean that kind of upgrading. | 19:46 |

suprengr | MartijnVdS: are you suggesting Debian UTF-8 migration wizard (utf8-migration-tool)? In all honesty I wasn't aware of stuff being mis-translated & so would like to cure it if poss. | 19:53 |
MartijnVdS | suprengr: I'm using Ubuntu everywhere, which has been UTF-8 for 6 years now ;) | 19:53 |
MartijnVdS | suprengr: which IRC client are you using? | 19:53 |
suprengr | I am currently on channel in U10.04 - using x-chat. | 19:54 |
MartijnVdS | You can set the channel encoding to UTF-8 in xchat | 19:54 |
MartijnVdS | I don't know where exactly, but you can set it :) | 19:54 |
MartijnVdS | (I've done it, but I'm now using irssi) | 19:54 |
suprengr | will have a look around options/meus/settings/etc & try to find out what's going on... thanks | 19:55 |

suprengr | MartijnVdS: restarting x-chat to enable UYF8 [hopefully]... it was not so hard to find after all | 20:21 |
DJones | czajkowski: Sorted now, thanks for asking though | 20:23 |
czajkowski | DJones: grand job. making the most of my holidays and not online much | 20:23 |

DJones | Too much food, there's never too much food at this time of year | 20:31 |
DJones | Hope you have an easier journey back over | 20:31 |
kvarley | I have a 30 second audio delay on enemy territory quake wars. I'm on 10.10, how can I fix this? | 20:44 |
MartijnVdS | kvarley: by analysing what's causing it | 20:46 |
kvarley | Lack of oss support I think | 20:48 |
MartijnVdS | so tell the game to use alsa | 20:48 |
kvarley | When I do "pasuspender /usr/local/games/etqw +set s_alsa_pcm plughw:0" it says "execvp(): Permission denied | 20:49 |
kvarley | Running as sudo doesnt work either | 20:50 |
MartijnVdS | anything in the logs? /var/log/* | 20:50 |
kvarley | Nope | 20:51 |
MartijnVdS | can you "ls -l /usr/local/games/etqw" for me? | 20:51 |
kvarley | http://paste.ubuntu.com/548351/ | 20:52 |
MartijnVdS | so the binary is really /usr/local/games/etqw/etqw ? | 20:53 |
kvarley | binary is /usr/local/games/etqw/etqw.x86 | 20:54 |
MartijnVdS | kvarley: pasuspender is complaining that it can't execute a directory -- which is correct | 20:54 |
kvarley | Ohhh | 20:54 |
MartijnVdS | missing piece of the puzzle? :) | 20:55 |
suprengr | MartijnVdS: if you not bored of it yet... £ [pound]: is that showing correct to you now? | 20:57 |
MartijnVdS | suprengr: it is! £ | 20:57 |
suprengr | MartijnVdS: wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee | 20:57 |
suprengr | [& thanks] | 20:57 |
kvarley | MartijnVdS: That command works now but audio doesnt work at all :/ Weird | 20:58 |
MartijnVdS | kvarley: pulseaudio is suspended, maybe you're using the wrong alsa device? | 20:59 |
kvarley | I don't even have alsa installed? | 20:59 |
kvarley | I have 10.10 | 20:59 |
MartijnVdS | kvarley: alsa is the kernel layer, it's used by pulseaudio (among others) | 20:59 |
MartijnVdS | kvarley: the "+set s_alsa_pcm plughw:0" bit sets the alsa device used by the game to "plughw:0" | 21:00 |
kvarley | MartijnVdS: Ah ok, I am unsure how to tweak that though. | 21:00 |
kvarley | MartijnVdS: Could I tell the game to use OSS? | 21:02 |
MartijnVdS | I have no idea, don't know it | 21:02 |
MartijnVdS | also, OSS emulation is arguably worse | 21:02 |
kvarley | MartijnVdS: Ok, thanks for the help anyway | 21:02 |
Darael | Got a multi-partitioned (all of them NTFS) external hard drive here, want to remove two of them and expand the other to fill the disk. Gparted claims I need to install ntfsprogs, but ntfsprogs is already installed! | 21:08 |
MartijnVdS | Darael: what happens when you use the "Disk Utility" (system -> administration menu) | 21:10 |
MartijnVdS | Darael: you can edit partitions in that | 21:11 |
Darael | MartijnVdS: I'll have a look. | 21:12 |
Darael | MartijnVdS: palimpsest seems to do the job, cheers. Wonder what's up with gparted... Oh, well. | 21:13 |
