[00:38] if you have 4gb of RAM and proper apps for 64... yup [00:41] what about windows 7 running 64 bit with 4gb RAM vs ubuntu running 32 bit with 2gb RAM?

I have a bcm4312 LP-PHY and in additional drivers I have installed the Broadcom B43 wireless driver. I can see my wireless network but it won't authenticate(yes it is the right password, I rechecked a few times now) [02:49] interesting [02:50] can u wire it? [02:50] yes, I am connected via wire currently [02:52] Also sometimes(not all the time), when I restart it tells me the driver is not active again and I have to re-install it. [02:55] i would say its not the right driver then [02:55] you update ubuntu? [02:55] might find diff drivers [02:55] well, the wierd thing is the driver worked earlier today, actually it worked about a half hour ago. [02:56] laptop? [02:56] Also the driver is correct for the BCM4312-LP-PHY, but there is another one for BCM4312-, I've tried that and it won't install correctly. [02:56] yes [02:57] did you google it? [02:57] prolly be better help that i am [02:58] yes, though I can't seem to find anything promising yet. I will continue looking. [02:59] who makes the nic? [02:59] broadcom? [03:00] is it 802.11g?

[05:40] ray__: lol [05:40] mame which used to be called sdlmame can't install on 10.10 [05:40] oh, i thought you had a lame joke there ;) [05:41] ray__: is it not installing? [05:41] or is it your graphics card? [05:41] No [05:41] * holstein looks at pastebin [05:41] It doesn't install and my graphics card works great [05:42] I can run mupen64plus [05:42] this wont do? [05:42] https://launchpad.net/~c.falco/+archive/umame [05:43] any of these really [05:43] https://launchpad.net/~c.falco/+ppa-packages [05:43] I don't understand [05:43] gotta have sdl ? [05:43] ray__: did you try any of those PPAs? [05:43] xmame is outdated for sure [05:43] so, those PPA's wont work for you? [05:44] You mean the PPAs you linked to me? [05:44] If so then no [05:44] So 0.142 mame is unstable [05:44] ?? [05:44] http://sdlmame.wallyweek.org/repository/ [05:45] how about that one? [05:45] That was the one I was installing from [05:45] In the guide I first linked, he said to install mame common first, then mame and mame tools [05:45] From the link you last posted [05:46] i would probably just install mame [05:46] But that is the only one that will not install [05:46] You mean from the link sdlmame.wally? [05:47] ray__: did you try building it? [05:47] No, I have a guide I posted somewhere that does not work because of this [05:47] building? [05:47] Like I said it worked on Ubuntu Lucid Lynxs [05:47] you cant build because of this? [05:48] I didn't say that [05:48] OK [05:48] you could try contacting the PPA maintainer [05:48] I am not sure. I read a link somewhere about the name changing, but I bookmarked it on another hard drive [05:48] or maybe find another PPA [05:48] I think you are right [05:48] or just build it from the site [05:49] i mean, theres nothing really in 10.10 thats particularly breaking it [05:49] for any good reason* [05:49] ray__: try removing mame-common [05:49] and the other [05:50] and just install mame [05:50] OK, I will [05:50] I was thinking that when you said something but I didn't say so or that I hadn't tried it [05:53] Hold on, I need to take a screenshot here of what synaptic has listed [05:53] I did un-install though [05:53] right [05:53] remove whatever you installed [05:53] and run [05:53] sudo apt-get update [05:53] sudo apt-get install mame [05:53] and see what the output is [05:54] http://imagebin.org/151972 [05:54] ray__: right [05:55] OK, I update manager popped up right after I did sudo apt-get update [05:55] you can close it [05:56] Did you see the imagebin? [05:57] If I do sudo apt-get install mame then it might install 0.139 of mame and I have 0.142 which will not work [05:57] The question here is how to be able to remove sdlmame for 0.139 and install 0.142 in it's place [05:59] ray__: you need a PPA [05:59] that has that newer version [05:59] OR [05:59] you have to build it [05:59] Like you said, I should contact them [05:59] you can install it [05:59] and see [05:59] you can always uninstall it [06:00] Like I said I have a guide for Ubuntu users which I am not allowed to mention where but what the hay why not. It's at Pleasuredome [06:00] They like to stay up to date [06:00] ray__: you did sudo add-apt-repository ppa:c.falco/mame ? [06:01] ray__: i dont know what you are talking about [06:01] if you have a guide [06:01] follow it [06:01] if its broken [06:01] dont use it [06:01] No, I am unsure I want to but I am on my experiemental hard drive so why not [06:01] or ask for it to be fixed [06:01] if you want to install the packages [06:01] from that PPA [06:01] then, tell me if you ran sudo add-apt-repository ppa:c.falco/mame [06:02] and if not [06:02] run that [06:02] hey, run it anyways [06:02] OK, I will try it [06:02] open a terminal [06:02] run [06:02] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:c.falco/mame [06:02] then [06:02] if no errors [06:02] run [06:02] sudo apt-get update [06:02] then [06:02] if no erros [06:02] if no errors [06:02] run [06:02] sudo apt-get install mame [06:02] and dont run synaptic [06:02] in the middle [06:03] or the update manager [06:03] just keep going [06:03] til you open mame [06:03] and check the version [06:04] OK, doing exactly as you have said [06:04] 85% [06:04] cool [06:04] whatever version installs [06:04] *of mame [06:04] is the latest available [06:04] It said 0.142 in the terminal [06:05] ray__: there you go :) [06:05] thats the one you want right? [06:05] OK, since it is the emulator and not the front end I need to install a frontend like gmameui to test [06:06] well, i have no idea about that [06:06] but you should be able to run [06:06] mame -v [06:06] OK, I will try that as well [06:07] maybe not* [06:07] I need to set the path to the folder where the roms are somewhere [06:08] maybe mame -version [06:08] No, you are right [06:08] O, I see [06:08] I will try, if not them man mame [06:08] mame -help should say* [06:08] I will try both [06:08] anyways, now you can write your own guide :) [06:10] I should have said more, and your right. I made a guide to help Ubuntu users update their mame roms using PD and linked the guide that that one guy posted [06:10] I will have to add what worked as well as the link [06:10] I will likely contact the sdlmame.wally team [06:11] Why wally?

[14:57] I've been using Ubuntu Classic mode, but I decided the best way to know Unity was to actually *use* it, so... :D [14:58] heres a couple relevant bugs you might want to browse and/or join [14:58] https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/620427 [14:58] Launchpad bug 620427 in unity "tomboy applet prevents the indicator to be shown" [High,Fix released] [14:58] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/27536/ [15:00] https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/666678 [15:00] Launchpad bug 666678 in unity "Support a container for gnome panel applets" [Undecided,Won't fix] [15:02] BonesOfTheNight: yeah, i think i misunderstood what i heard [15:02] http://askubuntu.com/questions/10597/can-i-use-gnome-applets-in-unity [15:02] ^ says you cant [15:02] and i dont see anything saying you can use gnome applets in unity [15:02] *the old gnome aplets [15:02] applets [15:02] anyways, like the post says, you cant use them in gnome3 either [15:03] so, you gotta work something out [15:03] as unity matures [15:03] all of that will be worked out [15:03] Apparently, running the command to start Tomboy, makes the indicator appear. [15:03] I don't know if it will show up next time I start the system up, but at least that's better than not having it at all. [15:03] Thanks. :) [15:05] Never saw Gnome3. I'm starting to feel cornered. Gnome2.30 was the pinnacle of quality. Gnome3 seems to depart from the style used in 2.30. [15:07] its just a different UI direction [15:08] the move to something must happen [15:08] its not so much that ubuntu said 'lets change everything' [15:08] gnome is changing [15:09] and gnome2 so far, is not forked [15:09] and unity is the answer for ubuntu [15:09] change is hard :/ [15:10] i've been using it for a week it sucks [15:10] Sure, everything is progress. I just don't want good features to go away because the move prioritises new features. [15:10] its a pretty high priority though [15:11] and 'good' and 'sucks' [15:11] those are opinions [15:11] I'm kind of annoyed by the lack of a virtual desktop switcher (yeah, there's one, but it works in 2 steps instead of 1), but I'm also finding useful the side panel for that. [15:11] i mean, im not using unity [15:11] BUT, im not using 11.04 [15:12] i have test installations [15:12] but, i will use 10.04 til the next LTS on most everything [15:12] i think ubuntu is trying to get the unity launch out of the way [15:13] so they can prepare for the wayland switch [15:13] but I like the terminal look [15:13] So, we're not in Wayland right now? [15:13] that move is not going to be trivial either [15:13] BonesOfTheNight: not yet [15:14] Oh, I thought THAT was the reason my Wacom tablet stopped working on updating... I guess the xorg files are just messed up. [15:15] This 'Wayland' thing worries me. How well researched is it? They are changing the X server, right? Isn't that like doing a heart transplant or something? Y'know, changing something major. [15:15] well, again [15:15] its changing [15:15] i think its actually a good move for buntu to try and get it in before the next LTS [15:16] and to go ahead as soon as they can [15:16] i mean, ubuntu could fork both gnome2 and x [15:17] but, evetually, others will move to wayland [15:17] cannonical didnt meet and decide to ditch gnome2 and xorg [15:18] these decisions are in repsonse to big external changes [15:18] I know they didn't like Gnome3; but what happened they decided to get rid of Xorg? [15:18] its going away too [15:18] and, its arguably a needed changes [15:19] and, its arguably a needed change* [15:19] since x is so old [15:19] i mean, lets imagine that 11.04 had gnome3 [15:20] we would still be talking about how to customize it further [15:20] and how the applets dont work [15:20] and why ubuntu changed [15:20] again, im not defending unity [15:20] im just saying, change is eminent [15:21] unless you want to fork and maintain gnome2 and xorg in house [15:21] those technologies are going to either stagnate, or fade away [15:23] Well, I'm having a hard time picturing some distros making the switch. I mean, has Debian decided to go this way? o_O [15:24] debian will go wayland [15:24] at some point [15:24] and they will have gnome2 as long as its maintained [15:24] debian doesnt really have a UI like that though [15:25] like ubuntu-desktop [15:25] What do you mean? [15:25] when you download the ubuntu live CD [15:25] and have gnome, or unity [15:25] as the ubuntu-desktop metapackage* [15:26] debian doest really do that [15:26] you just get debian [15:26] and choose what DE you want [15:32] I see. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [19:26] Looking for some help installing Ubuntu10.10 getting stuck at "setting sensors limits" [19:26] 11.04 ftw [19:30] Error404NotFoun1: Is it? :) [19:31] ubuntu_: Setting sensors limits?

[20:16] hey, guys. I'm being randomly logged out when I close Google Chrome. I found a post on google help with people having a similar issue and they claim it's a problem with gnome. I can't find any other threads that talk about this issue. [20:16] got from the ubuntu website [20:17] Omsniffiscent: try not using chrome lol [20:17] Chromium also does the same thing. [20:17] yes md5 and disk check both OK [20:17] i tried chrome and it was garbage [20:18] am using the live cd now for this chat on different machine [20:18] As I said, this post claims it's nothing to do with chrome/chromium/firefox/also. They claim it's Gnome. [20:18] lol [20:18] /alsa* [20:18] anything to put the blame off google [20:18] But this isn't just happening with chrome/chromium. [20:19] Some people are saying they get logged out when they mess with sound settings. [20:20] Is anyone else having this issue? [20:21] try #ubuntu [20:22] Already been there. [20:22] i cant help ya sorry [20:22] im still ubuntu noob [20:22] I kinda guessed that from the first words you put down. ;) [20:23] And we're all newbs. [20:23] well i just dont see any reason not to use firefox [20:23] thats why i said dont use chrome [20:23] It's called preference. Welcome to Linux. [20:23] Freedom to do what you want.

[21:51] when i start pidgin it joins the room with no one in it [21:51] i have to manualy join again and get this room [21:54] Hm. Must be a bug with pidgin or one of its plugins. Perhaps whatever plugin that does the autojoin. [21:57] well that worked [21:57] wth [21:58] i added #ubuntu to auto join with this channel and now it works [21:59] but if i take off #ubuntu it goes to room with no one in it [21:59] w/e its fixed [21:59] now i need help with wine [22:01] bioterror: [22:01] winecfg [22:01] erm [22:15] What's the issue with wine? If wine works in general, but you're having trouble with a specific windows application, #winehq may be a better place to ask. [22:58] geirha: hello! [22:58] havent bumped into you in awhile. [22:59] geirha: hope you are well and glad you dropped in [23:33] t up dual display on ubuntu?

Both work and school's been eating up my spare time. [23:42] philipballew: Depends on what hardware it is. [23:43] my microphone stopped picking up sound [23:44] In all applications? [23:45] it doesnt in my google phone and also it doesnt pick up on the input bar on the sound preferences [23:46] so therefor it wouldnot work with any applactions i belive [23:48] Could you test it with the Sound Recorder? Applications -> Sound & Video -> Sound Recorder [23:49] yes. hold on [23:49] (I had an issue with the microphone not working in skype or in the sound preferences, but it did work in the sound recorder) [23:50] it did not. i am sorry, [23:53] philipballew: i thinki have the same bug [23:54] there is already a launchpad bug filed i see [23:56] holstein: [23:58] Error404NotFound: Have you tried System -> Preferences -> Monitors? [23:58] i found how [23:58] but it doesnt mirror [23:58] philipballew: Mind sharing the url to that bug? [23:59] Mirror? [23:59] as in both monitors show the same thing
