[06:06] <juzzy__> hi
[08:53] <bluesmaker> hello
[08:55] <bluesmaker> hello i need some help to setup a tv card, i'm a noob
[08:55] <bluesmaker> am i in the right place?
[08:59] <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)
[09:00] <bluesmaker> ok, but i dont think it is a complicated thing
[09:00] <xardas008> depends on the type of card
[09:01] <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
[09:03] <bluesmaker> it says "You may try to use card=<n> insmod option to workaround that." but i don't know how to do that
[09:09] <bluesmaker> xardas008: ok thanks
[09:09] <xardas008> bluesmaker, np
[09:21] <Mao> ？
[09:22] <xardas008> what's up Mao?
[09:31] <MaoDa> Yes , I know it ,but I am not that bad boy ever
[09:31] <MaoDa> I am a new comer
[09:36] <MaoDa> nothing
[11:04] <aztek> hi all
[11:04] <aztek> is it any program like macromedia in ubuntu?
[11:35] <duanedesign> hello mr_nst
[11:35] <duanedesign> mr_nst: which macromedia program?
[11:37] <mr_nst> flash
[11:38] <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
[11:40] <mr_nst> what is the weakness?
[11:40] <sagaci> not fully functional
[11:41] <xardas008> on my dual core computer on full screen the videos jerk
[11:42] <mr_nst> hmm, other alternative?
[11:43] <xardas008> nothing on client side i think
[11:48] <duanedesign> mr_nst: the proprietary flash plugin for linux works pretty well
[11:48] <mr_nst> dualdesign: macromediaflas?
[11:49] <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
[11:50] <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
[11:52] <duanedesign> mr_nst: that package has Flash, Java, packages for MP3 and DVD playback
[11:54] <mr_nst> dualdesign: it can't be installed through terminal in my pc
[11:55] <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?
[11:56] <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?
[11:57] <duanedesign> another Terminal installing software?
[11:57] <mr_nst> no
[11:57] <mr_nst> may be i need restart my pc
[11:59] <duanedesign> mr_nst: have you installed any software recently?
[12:00] <mr_nst> yes
[12:01] <duanedesign> mr_nst: how did you install it?
[12:01] <duanedesign> the terminal or software center
[12:02] <mr_nst> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:02] <mr_nst> interminal
[12:02] <mr_nst> *in terminal
[12:03] <duanedesign> ok
[12:04] <duanedesign> That error happens when Software Center or another package update / installation application is already running.
[12:05] <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] <duanedesign> ugh
[12:24] <duanedesign> wb aztek
[12:25] <duanedesign> aztek: can you run install the package now?
[12:28] <aztek> yup
[12:29] <aztek> but need long time...
[12:53] <aztek>  duanedesign: my internes is very slow...
[13:45] <s-fox> Hello.
[15:14] <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.
[15:16] <Kumm> It works perfectly on my Windows 7 install.
[15:20] <Kumm> However, YouTube appears to be working.
[15:22] <Kumm> Nope, there it muted, just took longer than usual.
[16:18] <xardas008> is it possible to run ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 beside on the same hard drive?
[16:20] <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?
[16:21] <charlie-tca> yup, automatically resizes the partition and creates a new one.
[16:22] <charlie-tca> You can also partition manually to create two partitions for the two installs
[16:31] <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)
[16:32] <charlie-tca> Good luck
[16:54] <xardas008> what the hell is jockey-backend?
[16:54] <xardas008> hm ok program exited so update manager can reload sources xD
[16:55] <xardas008> installation worked fine, everything works (ubuntu 10.10 as well as 11.04)
[16:56] <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
[16:58] <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
[16:59] <johnny77> Will any window Manager run without a DE?
[17:00] <xardas008> de = desktop environment?
[17:01] <johnny77> yes.
[17:01] <charlie-tca> huh?
[17:01] <charlie-tca> windows manager requires gui, in most cases
[17:01] <charlie-tca> DE = GUI
[17:06] <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?
[17:08] <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
[17:27] <xardas008> where can i open a request for a special package?
[17:30] <bdfhjk> ?
[17:30] <bdfhjk> What special package? :-)
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <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.
[17:34] <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
[17:36] <johnny77> Ok, silly me. Openbox is the blank screen. But now that I have fluxbox and openbox how do I choose between the two?
[17:43] <okuth0r> is there anyone here who can help with a install?
[17:46] <okuth0r> i have a machine with SLi setup and am having trouble installing ubuntu
[17:54] <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.
[18:03] <johnny77> Is there a way to install a session manager without a login manager?
[18:04] <bioterror> what
[18:05] <bioterror> what's session manager?
[18:07] <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.
[18:08] <johnny77> I like the command line login, but want a way to choose which to WM to load.
[18:09] <xardas008> johnny77, you start with startx?
[18:11] <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.
[18:12] <xardas008> in fluxbox?
[18:13] <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?
[18:14] <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
[18:15] <xardas008> and interactiv way maybe only if you write a script
[18:17] <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.
[18:23] <bioterror> echo "exec fluxbox" > .xinitrc && startx
[20:45] <johnny77> is there a way to not load the login manager when booting?
[20:49] <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...
[20:51] <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
[20:52] <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?
[20:54] <johnny77> thank you. didn't know I could do that!!
[20:54] <johnny77> that is exactly what I needed!
[20:55] <yofel> ah, there are always 6 TTYs started on F1-F6 in case you need them
[21:08] <xardas008> + f7 for the desktop environment
[21:08] <xardas008> so you have 7 ttys
[21:48] <kristian-aalborg> hi

[23:03] <holstein> ive only ever done it manually in synaptic
[23:03] <holstein> with a couple machines
[23:03] <holstein> *im sure theres a way though
[23:05] <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
[23:06] <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 ^
[23:07] <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 :)
[23:14] <wolfik> landscape isn't free ??
[23:14] <holstein> in what way?
[23:16] <wolfik> i read that is commercial product that right?
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <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
[23:19] <wolfik> but it doesn't work on Ubuntu << :(
[23:19] <MrChrisDruif> I've never heard of it thou

[23:19] <wolfik> https://launchpad.net/oneconf
[23:20] <holstein> wolfik: did you try it with lucid?
[23:20] <holstein> i usually prefer going with the LTS's in those cases
[23:21] <wolfik> no maverick 10.10
