| juzzy__ | hi | 06:06 |
| bluesmaker | hello | 08:53 |
| bluesmaker | hello i need some help to setup a tv card, i'm a noob | 08:55 |
| bluesmaker | am i in the right place? | 08:55 |
| xardas008 | bluesmaker, maybe you could also ask at #ubuntu, there are more people so the chances that someone is experienced with tv cards is even bigger than here (i don't have much experience though) | 08:59 |
| bluesmaker | ok, but i dont think it is a complicated thing | 09:00 |
| xardas008 | depends on the type of card | 09:00 |
| bluesmaker | my tv card is listed as card=63 is em28xx | 09:01 |
| xardas008 | dvb-t for example can be used in kaffeine, maybe you can try xawtv? | 09:01 |
| bluesmaker | but i don't know how to make it card=63, it is now card=0 | 09:01 |
| bluesmaker | it says "You may try to use card=<n> insmod option to workaround that." but i don't know how to do that | 09:03 |
| bluesmaker | xardas008: ok thanks | 09:09 |
| xardas008 | bluesmaker, np | 09:09 |

| duanedesign | hello mr_nst | 11:35 |
| duanedesign | mr_nst: which macromedia program? | 11:35 |
| mr_nst | flash | 11:37 |
| xardas008 | there is a flashplugin available, alternativly you can use gnash | 11:38 |
| xardas008 | but it's not as good as the flash plugin provided by adobe | 11:38 |
| mr_nst | what is the weakness? | 11:40 |
| sagaci | not fully functional | 11:40 |
| xardas008 | on my dual core computer on full screen the videos jerk | 11:41 |
| mr_nst | hmm, other alternative? | 11:42 |
| xardas008 | nothing on client side i think | 11:43 |
| duanedesign | mr_nst: the proprietary flash plugin for linux works pretty well | 11:48 |
| mr_nst | dualdesign: macromediaflas? | 11:48 |
| duanedesign | mr_nst: The first package i install on Ubuntu is ubuntu-restricted-extras | 11:49 |
| duanedesign | mr_nst:Adobe bought Macromedia | 11:49 |
| duanedesign | mr_nst: but yes | 11:49 |
| mr_nst | how to install it? | 11:49 |
| duanedesign | therre is an adobe flash plugin for linux | 11:49 |
| duanedesign | mr_nst: You can go to Software Add/Remove and search for ubuntu-restricted-extras. Or from the Terminal issue command : sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 11:50 |
| duanedesign | mr_nst: that package has Flash, Java, packages for MP3 and DVD playback | 11:52 |
| mr_nst | dualdesign: it can't be installed through terminal in my pc | 11:54 |
| duanedesign | mr_nst: it can not? What does it say? | 11:55 |
| mr_nst | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 11:55 |
| mr_nst | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 11:55 |
| duanedesign | mr_nst: ok, you have another package manager open | 11:56 |
| duanedesign | mr_nst: is Software Center open? | 11:56 |
| mr_nst | no | 11:56 |
| duanedesign | Synaptic Package Manager? | 11:56 |

| mr_nst | interminal | 12:02 |
| mr_nst | *in terminal | 12:02 |
| duanedesign | ok | 12:03 |
| duanedesign | That error happens when Software Center or another package update / installation application is already running. | 12:04 |
| mr_nst | ok, amn going to restarting my pc. i will back soon.. | 12:05 |
| duanedesign | mr_nst: you can try and kill | 12:05 |

| s-fox | Hello. | 13:45 |
| Kumm | Hi! I've just installed Ubuntu and am having problems with playing sounds. | 15:14 |
| Kumm | I can play sounds for about half a minute or so and then it mutes. | 15:14 |
| Kumm | As soon as I unmute it, it mutes itself again. | 15:14 |
| Kumm | It doesn't matter whether I use Rhythmbox or VLC. | 15:14 |
| Kumm | It works perfectly on my Windows 7 install. | 15:16 |
| Kumm | However, YouTube appears to be working. | 15:20 |
| Kumm | Nope, there it muted, just took longer than usual. | 15:22 |
| xardas008 | is it possible to run ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 beside on the same hard drive? | 16:18 |
| charlie-tca | yes, as long as you don't want to run them at the exact same time | 16:20 |
| charlie-tca | you can install one, then do a guided re-size to install the other one | 16:20 |
| xardas008 | guided resize? | 16:20 |
| charlie-tca | yup, automatically resizes the partition and creates a new one. | 16:21 |
| charlie-tca | You can also partition manually to create two partitions for the two installs | 16:22 |
| xardas008 | ok wish me luck that everything will work without data loss xD (made a backup before so not so bad if it breaks my system) | 16:31 |
| charlie-tca | Good luck | 16:32 |
| xardas008 | what the hell is jockey-backend? | 16:54 |
| xardas008 | hm ok program exited so update manager can reload sources xD | 16:54 |
| xardas008 | installation worked fine, everything works (ubuntu 10.10 as well as 11.04) | 16:55 |
| charlie-tca | It is the thing that installs the hardware drivers | 16:56 |
| xardas008 | ah ok | 16:56 |
| charlie-tca | Great job! glad it all worked | 16:56 |
| xardas008 | the installer is really nice, he found out that ubuntu 10.10 was already installed and made the proposition to do a side by side installation | 16:58 |
| xardas008 | everything i needed to do was clicking on next | 16:58 |
| xardas008 | and answering some dialogs as usual | 16:58 |
| johnny77 | Will any window Manager run without a DE? | 16:59 |
| xardas008 | de = desktop environment? | 17:00 |
| johnny77 | yes. | 17:01 |
| charlie-tca | huh? | 17:01 |
| charlie-tca | windows manager requires gui, in most cases | 17:01 |
| charlie-tca | DE = GUI | 17:01 |
| johnny77 | charlie-tca: I know Openbox and fluxbox can be ran without desktop environments. If I wanted to look for other similar Window Managers, how would I know if the WM required a Desktop Environment? | 17:06 |
| charlie-tca | try it, I guess. Maybe they will work. Xubuntu uses xfwm4, which should work, but probably requires a lot of effort | 17:08 |
| charlie-tca | gnome uses something, that I don't think does wir | 17:08 |
| charlie-tca | work without the de | 17:08 |
| xardas008 | where can i open a request for a special package? | 17:27 |
| bdfhjk | ? | 17:30 |
| bdfhjk | What special package? :-) | 17:30 |
| xardas008 | eclipse | 17:31 |
| johnny77 | I've just encountered another prime opportunity to learn <- That means I screwed up. :) | 17:31 |
| xardas008 | latest stable is version 3.6.2, version in natty is 3.5.2 | 17:31 |
| bdfhjk | latest from debian? | 17:32 |
| bdfhjk | I think You should ask at #ubuntu-devel | 17:32 |
| johnny77 | I installed a Command Line Interface and install fluxbox. I just now installed Openbox, but when I run startx, what used to get me into Fluxbox now jut gives me a blank screen with a cursor. | 17:32 |
| xardas008 | ok version in debian is also 3.5.2 | 17:34 |
| bdfhjk | hm... | 17:34 |
| bdfhjk | maybe this is a package problem | 17:34 |
| xardas008 | hm i don't know | 17:34 |
| bdfhjk | but I don't know too | 17:34 |
| johnny77 | Ok, silly me. Openbox is the blank screen. But now that I have fluxbox and openbox how do I choose between the two? | 17:36 |
| okuth0r | is there anyone here who can help with a install? | 17:43 |
| okuth0r | i have a machine with SLi setup and am having trouble installing ubuntu | 17:46 |
| johnny77 | okuth0r: Sorry, but I can't help. I'm pretty new myself. I recommend hanging around for a bit. There are a lot of very smart people that hang here. Also you can try #ubuntu. | 17:54 |
| johnny77 | Is there a way to install a session manager without a login manager? | 18:03 |
| bioterror | what | 18:04 |
| bioterror | what's session manager? | 18:05 |
| johnny77 | bioterror: maybe I'm using the wrong words. I've installed a CLI and installed Openbox, Fluxbox, but don't have a way to choose which to load when I run startx. | 18:07 |
| johnny77 | I like the command line login, but want a way to choose which to WM to load. | 18:08 |
| xardas008 | johnny77, you start with startx? | 18:09 |
| johnny77 | xardas008: Yes, maybe that is wrong way. Like I said I install a Command Line Interface from the Alternative CD. After installing that I installed fluxbox. Startx just loaded Fluxbox. But now I have other options. | 18:11 |
| xardas008 | in fluxbox? | 18:12 |
| johnny77 | No, when I boot my computer it loads into a command line. Then from that command line (terminal) I run startx to load fluxbox. | 18:13 |
| xardas008 | and now you want to use an other one? | 18:13 |
| johnny77 | I want to be able to choose which one I want to load. | 18:14 |
| xardas008 | you can do it manually with the ~/.xinitrc | 18:14 |
| xardas008 | and interactiv way maybe only if you write a script | 18:15 |
| johnny77 | xardas008: I know on my other computer, I can choose from the graphical Login manager. I was hoping there was something I could install that would give me the choose without having to install a graphical login manager. | 18:17 |
| bioterror | echo "exec fluxbox" > .xinitrc && startx | 18:23 |
| === xardas008_ is now known as xardas008 | ||
| johnny77 | is there a way to not load the login manager when booting? | 20:45 |
| yofel | sure, disable the init service | 20:49 |
| yofel | sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf.disabled | 20:49 |
| yofel | if you're using gdm | 20:49 |
| yofel | natty will have a saner way to do that... | 20:49 |
| johnny77 | yofel: well, my problem is I was trying to configure my login manager and I guess I messed it up. Now it says Login failed whenever I try. | 20:51 |
| yofel | can't help there I fear... | 20:51 |
| yofel | maybe purging and reinstalling gdm could help | 20:51 |
| johnny77 | but I can't get to a command line to do anythign. | 20:52 |
| yofel | ctrl+alt+f2 doesn't get you a terminal? | 20:52 |
| johnny77 | thank you. didn't know I could do that!! | 20:54 |
| johnny77 | that is exactly what I needed! | 20:54 |
| yofel | ah, there are always 6 TTYs started on F1-F6 in case you need them | 20:55 |
| xardas008 | + f7 for the desktop environment | 21:08 |
| xardas008 | so you have 7 ttys | 21:08 |

| wolfik | couple machines?? | 23:05 |
| holstein | yeah | 23:05 |
| holstein | like 2 installs | 23:05 |
| holstein | maybe 3 | 23:05 |
| holstein | not the large deployment you are going for | 23:05 |
| MrChrisDruif | holstein: what about LandScape? Wasn't that for situations like this? | 23:06 |
| * holstein shrugs | 23:06 | |
| holstein | !landscape | 23:06 |
| ubot2 | Landscape makes the management and monitoring of Ubuntu systems simple and effective by combining world-class support with easy to use online management tools. https://landscape.canonical.com/ | 23:06 |
| holstein | MrChrisDruif: is that a server thing? | 23:06 |
| holstein | anyways, give that a look wolfik ^ | 23:06 |
| wolfik | ok i think oneconf is the best because ubuntu peoples made it but maybe its wrong :) | 23:07 |
| MrChrisDruif | holstein: I don't know if it is operable from server (CLI) but I guess it should be possible :) | 23:07 |
| MrChrisDruif | wolfik: So is landscape if I'm not mistaken :) | 23:07 |
| wolfik | landscape isn't free ?? | 23:14 |
| holstein | in what way? | 23:14 |
| wolfik | i read that is commercial product that right? | 23:16 |
| MrChrisDruif | wolfik: Isn't it a one buy program? No licenses right? | 23:17 |
| holstein | http://serverfault.com/questions/143549/open-source-alternative-for-canonical-landscape | 23:17 |
| MrChrisDruif | You can try it for free I see...and maybe the link from holstein might give free results | 23:18 |
| wolfik | my school is very poor, free program is oneconf but don't work :) | 23:18 |
| MrChrisDruif | Puppet is mentioned in the link from holstein | 23:18 |
| wolfik | but it doesn't work on Ubuntu << :( | 23:19 |
| MrChrisDruif | I've never heard of it thou | 23:19 |
| MrChrisDruif | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_(software) | 23:19 |
| wolfik | https://launchpad.net/oneconf | 23:19 |
| holstein | wolfik: did you try it with lucid? | 23:20 |
| holstein | i usually prefer going with the LTS's in those cases | 23:20 |
| wolfik | no maverick 10.10 | 23:21 |
