[08:59] 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] ok, but i dont think it is a complicated thing [09:00] depends on the type of card [09:01] my tv card is listed as card=63 is em28xx [09:01] dvb-t for example can be used in kaffeine, maybe you can try xawtv? [09:01] but i don't know how to make it card=63, it is now card=0 [09:03] it says "You may try to use card= insmod option to workaround that." but i don't know how to do that [09:09] xardas008: ok thanks [09:09] bluesmaker, np [09:21] ? [09:22] what's up Mao? === Mao is now known as MaoDa [09:31] Yes , I know it ,but I am not that bad boy ever [09:31] I am a new comer [09:36] nothing [11:04] hi all [11:04] is it any program like macromedia in ubuntu? === aztek is now known as mr_nst [11:35] hello mr_nst [11:35] mr_nst: which macromedia program? [11:37] flash [11:38] there is a flashplugin available, alternativly you can use gnash [11:38] but it's not as good as the flash plugin provided by adobe [11:40] what is the weakness? [11:40] not fully functional [11:41] on my dual core computer on full screen the videos jerk [11:42] hmm, other alternative? [11:43] nothing on client side i think [11:48] mr_nst: the proprietary flash plugin for linux works pretty well [11:48] dualdesign: macromediaflas? [11:49] mr_nst: The first package i install on Ubuntu is ubuntu-restricted-extras [11:49] mr_nst:Adobe bought Macromedia [11:49] mr_nst: but yes [11:49] how to install it? [11:49] therre is an adobe flash plugin for linux [11:50] 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] mr_nst: that package has Flash, Java, packages for MP3 and DVD playback [11:54] dualdesign: it can't be installed through terminal in my pc [11:55] mr_nst: it can not? What does it say? [11:55] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [11:55] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [11:56] mr_nst: ok, you have another package manager open [11:56] mr_nst: is Software Center open? [11:56] no [11:56] Synaptic Package Manager? [11:57] another Terminal installing software? [11:57] no [11:57] may be i need restart my pc [11:59] mr_nst: have you installed any software recently? [12:00] yes [12:01] mr_nst: how did you install it? [12:01] the terminal or software center [12:02] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [12:02] interminal [12:02] *in terminal [12:03] ok [12:04] That error happens when Software Center or another package update / installation application is already running. [12:05] ok, amn going to restarting my pc. i will back soon.. [12:05] mr_nst: you can try and kill [12:05] ugh [12:24] wb aztek [12:25] aztek: can you run install the package now? [12:28] yup [12:29] but need long time... [12:53] duanedesign: my internes is very slow... === aztek is now known as mr_nst === yofel_ is now known as yofel [13:45] Hello. [15:14] Hi! I've just installed Ubuntu and am having problems with playing sounds. [15:14] I can play sounds for about half a minute or so and then it mutes. [15:14] As soon as I unmute it, it mutes itself again. [15:14] It doesn't matter whether I use Rhythmbox or VLC. [15:16] It works perfectly on my Windows 7 install. [15:20] However, YouTube appears to be working. [15:22] Nope, there it muted, just took longer than usual. [16:18] is it possible to run ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 beside on the same hard drive? [16:20] yes, as long as you don't want to run them at the exact same time [16:20] you can install one, then do a guided re-size to install the other one [16:20] guided resize? [16:21] yup, automatically resizes the partition and creates a new one. [16:22] You can also partition manually to create two partitions for the two installs [16:31] 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] Good luck [16:54] what the hell is jockey-backend? [16:54] hm ok program exited so update manager can reload sources xD [16:55] installation worked fine, everything works (ubuntu 10.10 as well as 11.04) [16:56] It is the thing that installs the hardware drivers [16:56] ah ok [16:56] Great job! glad it all worked [16:58] 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] everything i needed to do was clicking on next [16:58] and answering some dialogs as usual [16:59] Will any window Manager run without a DE? [17:00] de = desktop environment? [17:01] yes. [17:01] huh? [17:01] windows manager requires gui, in most cases [17:01] DE = GUI [17:06] 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] try it, I guess. Maybe they will work. Xubuntu uses xfwm4, which should work, but probably requires a lot of effort [17:08] gnome uses something, that I don't think does wir [17:08] work without the de [17:27] where can i open a request for a special package? [17:30] ? [17:30] What special package? :-) [17:31] eclipse [17:31] I've just encountered another prime opportunity to learn <- That means I screwed up. :) [17:31] latest stable is version 3.6.2, version in natty is 3.5.2 [17:32] latest from debian? [17:32] I think You should ask at #ubuntu-devel [17:32] 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] ok version in debian is also 3.5.2 [17:34] hm... [17:34] maybe this is a package problem [17:34] hm i don't know [17:34] but I don't know too [17:36] 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] is there anyone here who can help with a install? [17:46] i have a machine with SLi setup and am having trouble installing ubuntu [17:54] 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] Is there a way to install a session manager without a login manager? [18:04] what [18:05] what's session manager? [18:07] 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] I like the command line login, but want a way to choose which to WM to load. [18:09] johnny77, you start with startx? [18:11] 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] in fluxbox? [18:13] 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] and now you want to use an other one? [18:14] I want to be able to choose which one I want to load. [18:14] you can do it manually with the ~/.xinitrc [18:15] and interactiv way maybe only if you write a script [18:17] 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] echo "exec fluxbox" > .xinitrc && startx === xardas008_ is now known as xardas008 [20:45] is there a way to not load the login manager when booting? [20:49] sure, disable the init service [20:49] sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf.disabled [20:49] if you're using gdm [20:49] natty will have a saner way to do that... [20:51] 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] can't help there I fear... [20:51] maybe purging and reinstalling gdm could help [20:52] but I can't get to a command line to do anythign. [20:52] ctrl+alt+f2 doesn't get you a terminal? [20:54] thank you. didn't know I could do that!! [20:54] that is exactly what I needed! [20:55] ah, there are always 6 TTYs started on F1-F6 in case you need them [21:08] + f7 for the desktop environment [21:08] so you have 7 ttys [21:48] hi [21:49] I'd like to have a text file which displays all of my figlet fonts and their name - how do I do that? [21:49] lol, I found it [22:50] hi [22:53] i teach in gymnasium and i have 18 computers i try use oneconf but it don't work in ubuntu 10.10 if this work just in 11.04? [22:55] wolfik: looks like a cool project [22:56] wolfik: what are your goals for using oneconf? [22:56] what do you mean by 'didnt work' ? [22:56] didnt install? [22:56] what failed? [22:58] i want quick synchronize all programs on all computer in lab [22:59] i install one conf and mark share computer and and show inventories but only one computer show synchronize at 7:00 pm [23:00] but no program are installed [23:00] wolfik: thats going to be challenging to sort out [23:00] ive never used it [23:00] and havent heard anyone talking about it here [23:00] hang out and see if someone comes along [23:00] but, does the project itself have an IRC channel? [23:00] or mailinglist? [23:01] i don't check :( [23:02] ubuntuone is i try this [23:02] thx [23:02] did anybody know any programs to synchronize aplication to many computers in this same network? [23:03] ive only ever done it manually in synaptic [23:03] with a couple machines [23:03] *im sure theres a way though [23:05] couple machines?? [23:05] yeah [23:05] like 2 installs [23:05] maybe 3 [23:05] not the large deployment you are going for [23:06] holstein: what about LandScape? Wasn't that for situations like this? [23:06] * holstein shrugs [23:06] !landscape [23:06] 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] MrChrisDruif: is that a server thing? [23:06] anyways, give that a look wolfik ^ [23:07] ok i think oneconf is the best because ubuntu peoples made it but maybe its wrong :) [23:07] holstein: I don't know if it is operable from server (CLI) but I guess it should be possible :) [23:07] wolfik: So is landscape if I'm not mistaken :) [23:14] landscape isn't free ?? [23:14] in what way? [23:16] i read that is commercial product that right? [23:17] wolfik: Isn't it a one buy program? No licenses right? [23:17] http://serverfault.com/questions/143549/open-source-alternative-for-canonical-landscape [23:18] You can try it for free I see...and maybe the link from holstein might give free results [23:18] my school is very poor, free program is oneconf but don't work :) [23:18] Puppet is mentioned in the link from holstein [23:19] but it doesn't work on Ubuntu << :( [23:19] I've never heard of it thou [23:19] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_(software) [23:19] https://launchpad.net/oneconf [23:20] wolfik: did you try it with lucid? [23:20] i usually prefer going with the LTS's in those cases [23:21] no maverick 10.10 [23:26] hello all, I'm getting an error saying that the disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present. therefore i can not login to my desktop [23:27] i have an lvm setup with encrypted /home partition [23:27] checked the /etc/fstab everythings look normal [23:27] any idea why this is happening?
