[04:02] o/ [04:04] im recording a video for friends to show them how cool Ubuntu is:) [04:42] I am spending a LOT of time trying to find out in google where autostart.sh file is. I need to edit it, but google is being my frenemy and all I get is about editing it, not where to find it TO edit it! [04:46] find -name autostart.sh just drops to the command line. I KNOW it'sthere, because I had to edit it to fix conky covering over all the windows. [04:47] sudo find / |grep autostart.sh [05:10] how do i convert .ogv to something that i could put on facebook? [05:11] you *could* put those on facebook [05:11] a better question would be posed to facebook [05:11] 'why cant i upload my .ogv' [05:11] BUT [05:11] eiriksvin: what formats do they accept? [05:11] .avi ?

[05:21] ? [05:21] if its legal [05:21] do it [05:21] and tell them where to go [05:21] if its not legal [05:21] im not helping you with it [05:22] heh, yeah i know, gotta pay to play:( [05:23] well, im a musician [05:23] so, i am closely connected to the issue [05:46] hi i have just upgraded - all running ok except i am getting the following request for a user name and password - any idea to what this relates?!

[15:04] sometimes, using a proprietary graphics driver can help [15:05] pl dont talk about graphics card [15:05] newubuntu: pl? [15:05] coz the same problem is NOT there in windows XP [15:05] newubuntu: right [15:05] holstein: didnt get u? [15:05] pl = please? [15:05] holstein: indeed [15:06] holstein: yeah so? [15:06] you are asking that i please *not* talk about graphics cards? [15:06] OK [15:06] im talking about the graphics card *driver* [15:06] which i assure you *is* different from the one you use in XP [15:06] holstein: urghhh! i meant to say that only! [15:07] newubuntu: i have had that issue [15:07] on several devices [15:07] hmm [15:07] and i think i can help shed some light on this issue [15:07] but, i will need to talk about your graphics card [15:08] patience of a saint holstein, bravo [15:08] UndiFineD: :) [15:09] newubuntu, we need to know your graphics card manufacturer, so know if a binary driver would help here [15:09] lemme clarify 1 thing: the driver for my graphics card aint avaliable for ubuntu, ive checkd already [15:10] allow me to further clarify [15:10] go on [15:10] the manufacturer of your graphics hardware doesnt supply a driver for linux* [15:11] but, if you would like to link the manufacturer, and type [15:11] we could look around a bit [15:11] people...ill be right back [15:24] Sometimes, helping can be a very "trying" experience.

Nice to see you! [15:49] hey guys, how can i open my tab delimited file (.txt) with open office spread sheet? [15:49] when i try to, it associates it with writer, and opens it there [15:51] Hello [15:52] I have been having a problem with setting up my wireless router [15:53] not router wireless card [15:54] stevd: Please elaborate. [15:55] ok I am using ASUS USB N13 N [15:56] Is that a router? If so, I'm unfamiliar with it. [15:56] I have tried trouble shooting with documentation, my computer says thats its not enabled [15:56] um wirless card not router my mistake [15:58] Oh, OK, sorry I can't really help too much (beyond basics) with wireless cards... [15:58] the terminal says it sees the card and drivers but it says its enabled [15:59] Enabled? Are you sure it doesn't say "disabled"? [16:01] Im mean disabled... early morning [16:01] I cant find a turm to try to just make it enabled [16:02] Get a cup of coffee... :-) [16:03] yeah [16:03] need one [16:04] If it's not "enabled", it may be a driver issue. Are you certain you're using the most current one for the distro (10.04, 10.10, or 11.04)? [16:04] And for that card? [16:04] i dont know if I am [16:05] That may be a place to start. [16:05] the computer told me someware else that it was a firmware issue [16:06] I only update firmware as a last resort, but, that's just me. [16:06] But after all else fails you may need to do that if it's an old card. [16:08] its only 3 month old card [16:10] Then it probably isn't a firmware issue. What is the output of, in a terminal, lsusb? Re: the ASUS? [16:11] let be check [16:12] I got it up were do you want to know the output [16:12] Bus 009 Device 003: ID 0b05:1784 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. 802.11n Network Adapter [16:16] what do you think [16:16] Well this is getting a little beyond my abilities...;-( The next thing I would try is typing in terminal dmesg and see if anything jumps out regarding that card / port, etc... [16:18] not really [16:19] AT this point you have two choices: Ask your question in #ubuntu (mentioning your card, ubuntu version, etc) or better yet going to ubuntuforums.org and asking there; although it'll take longer for someone to answer. [16:19] oh ok [16:20] Sorry I wasn't a better helper. :-( Side slinks away with his tail between his legs... :-) [16:20] its ok I have a tough one to figure out [16:21] Actually it's not that tough for someone that is more familiar with wireless cards. [16:22] ndiswrapper is anothe LAST-RESORT. [16:22] another, sorry [16:22] ok I tried that before it sucks and buggy [16:24] Maybe 'it' screwed something up? [16:24] yeah but I redownloaded linux so its not that [16:25] Did you "totally remove" ndiswrapper? [16:25] Oh, OK, you answered while I was typing. [16:25] I typed this sudo lshw -C network and got into the network card info [16:25] the computer was wiped [16:27] Then I would suggest ubuntuforums.org, they're very knowlegable and more than willing to help; just be very specific with your problem. The more info. the better. [16:27] ok [16:28] Good luck! [16:32] Try addressing your question on the main chanel (#ubuntu) Dr_Willis is there now and he's an expert... [16:34] Phrase your question, all on one line, listing your distro (10.10, 11.04, etc.) your card, any error messaged, etc,... === nlsthzn is now known as nlsthzn-work [18:15] Heya! [18:17] I'm just wondering if I can use a virtual cd drive to run the ISO file for the ubuntu install....for instance, daemon tools lite. [18:17] I don't have any re-writable cds, and I already have a liveCD of 10.10 [18:17] holstein [18:17] -----------^ and hello :) [18:40] mang0: o/ [18:40] i would use unetbootin [18:40] \o/ [18:41] with a USB stick [18:41] if you dont have that [18:41] and you're trying to do something from an already running install [18:41] in theory, you should be albe to do that [18:41] but, its over my head [18:41] I have heard (in #ubuntu) that 11.04 has a newer kernal and so maybe it would detect my drives... [18:42] it might be a bios problem though, but I really don't know much about bios, i'm sorta a noob to bios tbh. [18:42] mang0: you can probably try the mainline kernel [18:42] in whatever you are running [18:43] and get the functionality of the newer kernel [18:43] without too much hassle [18:43] when i did it, i just DL'd a .deb for the mainline kernel [18:43] and installed/uninstalled like anything else [18:43] *thats plausible i suppose [18:43] aw god, I cba with all this hassle, just gonna dl 11.04, burn a CD and hope for the best. [18:44] yeah, i would [18:44] you can try it live [18:44] yearp [18:44] * mang0 dls [18:44] !download [18:44] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Karmic, and help keeping the servers' load low! [18:44] those CD's are handy for diagnostics or whatever [18:44] i usually just carry one around [18:45] and if i end up using it on someones machine [18:45] i give it to them [18:45] heh, yeah [19:45] holstein it might be a bios problem, how do I check if my Bios is set up okay? [20:05] mang0: its really case by case [20:05] you cant get it to boot the CD ? [20:05] As I can well imagine! Yes I can boot from the CD, but I can not install [20:05] I need 2.7GB space, and it is telling me I don't have it... [20:06] Even though I have two 120GB hard drives [20:07] holstein ^ [20:07] mang0: whats on the drives? [20:08] you said they were SATA? [20:08] On one of them (C) I have all my stuff - Windows, software etc [20:08] the other one is empty [20:08] they are both NTFS [20:08] i would unplug the one with all your stuff [20:08] then, i would probably go in and blank it [20:08] see if gparted sees it [20:09] and get it nice and blank [20:09] then, try the installer [20:09] how do i blank it? [20:09] and let me know [20:09] mang0: using gparted [20:09] thats an easy GUI way [20:09] *confused* [20:09] Gparted doesn't see it [20:09] OK [20:09] thats not good [20:09] mang0: have you tried a parted magic disc? [20:10] what kind of hard drives are these? [20:10] one sec [20:10] gonna screenshot [20:11] hm [20:11] they are NTFS [20:11] SATA [20:11] what about the sata controller? [20:12] http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/4/11712260312-orig.jpg [20:12] you can see the stuff there [20:12] you got hardware RAID or something else odd? [20:13] its not going to be the hard drives then [20:13] or the format [20:14] its going to be the SATA controller i think [20:14] so what should I do? [20:15] well [20:15] tell me if you have hardware raid set up or not [20:15] and then tell me what the sata controller is ;) [20:15] get that live CD running on there [20:15] and i'll give you a few commands [20:15] it really doesnt matter what XP sees [20:15] we cant use any of its drivers [20:17] problem no. 1: I can't use the internet on the livecd [20:17] my broadcom card doesn't work [20:17] f**k [20:17] Hmm [20:17] I could go downstairs on my mum's comp [20:18] and open up IRC [20:18] then boot up LiveCD here [20:18] :/ [20:18] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2557 [20:19] :| [20:19] UUUUUU [20:19] mang0: how about this [20:19] you mind DLing another live CD? [20:19] and trying it? [20:19] Right, lets do this one at a time. Lets get my internet working........with the liveCD [20:19] and no i dont [20:19] i have 11.04 on my desktop [20:19] if you like I can burn it [20:19] ... [20:20] http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [20:20] ^ i would try that [20:20] 8.04?! [20:20] see if gparted can see your drives [20:20] then, note the kernel version [20:20] okay........if it can, should I just install it from that liveCD? and then I can update [20:20] nah [20:21] *well, not yet [20:21] we're just collecting information [20:21] Thing is, I only have a limited amount of CDs here....and my download speed is crappy....like, srsly crappy [20:22] you dont have to* [20:22] its just an idea [20:22] its nice to have diagnostic discs around though [20:22] i routinely use ubuntu 8.04, 10.04, puppy linux, gparted discs, maybe knoppix [20:23] for me, sometimes its easier to just try a kernel out [20:23] a really different one [20:23] and then look up what the differences are [20:23] i mean, if i were you [20:23] i would probably just put a PATA drive in somewhere [20:23] and install ubuntu on it [20:23] Hmm [20:23] tell you what [20:23] I'm gonna burn the 11.04 CD [20:23] and try it [20:24] sure [20:24] im just thinking that acutally the opposite has happened [20:24] thanks for your help with this btw, i really appreciate it! [20:24] that support for your controller has been removed* [20:24] mang0: sure, anytime :) [20:24] :) [20:24] it is very possible that it has been removed [20:24] as it is fairly old... [20:25] thats good though, in a way [20:25] ? [20:25] that means, you coud roll up your own [20:25] with a kernel that will support it [20:25] *in theory [20:25] * mang0 is so nooby he is asking in a nooby way what a kernel is [20:25] or, step back to a kernel that supports it [20:25] nah, ask away :) [20:26] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel [20:26] thanks [20:26] every OS has a kernel [20:26] linux is actually the kernel* [20:26] the operating system is ubuntu [20:26] shit [20:26] that utilizes the linux kernel [20:26] I accidentally dled 10.04 instead of 11.04 [20:27] * mang0 facepalm [20:27] IF you want to be totally accurate [20:27] actually [20:27] mang0: lets download an alternate CD [20:27] shall i try 10.04?
