| philipballew | jpgnizak type the comand that starts skype into the terminal. its most likely just skype | 00:06 |

| jpgnizak | hm, | 00:06 |
| Error404NotFound | pidgin should have skype in it | 00:07 |

| Error404NotFound | im saying it should.. | 00:08 |
| jpgnizak | terminal works. | 00:11 |
| philipballew | when you say terminal works you mean it loads up skpye? | 00:11 |
| jpgnizak | yep | 00:13 |
| jpgnizak | but hitting the icon from unity does not | 00:13 |
| philipballew | ok. heres your problem and i can help you fix it | 00:14 |
| jpgnizak | great | 00:14 |
| philipballew | can you go into your main menu prefferences? | 00:14 |
| philipballew | i know how to do it in classic but have never in ubuntu unity? | 00:14 |
| jpgnizak | hm it doesnt really use the main menu anymore, | 00:15 |
| jpgnizak | i can get to it though | 00:15 |
| jpgnizak | what do you think the fix is | 00:15 |
| philipballew | hold on. ill look it up on my computer. if i go offline. dont fear because ill be back on | 00:15 |

| philipballew_ | jpgnizak click on that. go to internet skype. click properties and tell me what the text in the box called command says | 00:20 |
| jpgnizak | skype-wrapper | 00:22 |
| philipballew_ | just as i thought. change that to skype and click close. then try to open skype again | 00:23 |
| philipballew_ | no -wrapper | 00:23 |
| jpgnizak | ah, makes sense | 00:23 |
| jpgnizak | and there it is. | 00:23 |

| Error404NotFound | how do i end a program thats not responding? | 00:28 |
| Error404NotFound | anyone? | 00:31 |
| geirha | "not responding" is a bit vague. Could you elaborate? | 00:33 |
| Error404NotFound | i tried to load magicjack with wine | 00:34 |
| Error404NotFound | its frozen | 00:34 |
| geirha | Alt+F2 -> xkill | 00:40 |
| geirha | The cursor will change to an X | 00:41 |

| philipballew | i keep getting this error when updating my computer The following packages have been kept back: | 02:15 |
| philipballew | xulrunner-dev | 02:15 |
| philipballew | any ideas? | 02:15 |
| UndiFineD | philipballew, it says it did not install it | 02:18 |
| bodhizazen | hajour, poke | 02:18 |
| UndiFineD | bodhizazen, relaying ;) | 02:18 |
| bodhizazen | I found a solution 4 u | 02:18 |
| bodhizazen | In firefox 4 | 02:18 |
| philipballew | UndiFineD i know that | 02:18 |
| UndiFineD | philipballew, and that is because of dependecies | 02:19 |
| bodhizazen | Preferences -> Advanced (by Fonts & Colors) | 02:19 |
| bodhizazen | "Minimum font size" | 02:19 |
| philipballew | well i ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to try to fox it but it still didnt work | 02:19 |
| bodhizazen | If I set the font size to 24, it applies to all web page inc. forums | 02:20 |
| bodhizazen | I am runninf ff 4.01 which I downloaded from Mozilla, and not a ppa | 02:20 |
| UndiFineD | that is nice bodhizazen | 02:20 |
| bodhizazen | Yes, there is some overlap of the fonts at the very top, but the page is very readable | 02:21 |
| philipballew | UndiFineD well i ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to try to fix it but it still didnt work | 02:21 |
| bodhizazen | HTH UndiFineD =) | 02:22 |
| bodhizazen | what did you break philipballew ? | 02:22 |
| philipballew | bodhizazen everything :) | 02:23 |
| bodhizazen | Well, best thing about Ubuntu | 02:23 |
| bodhizazen | If you break it you get to keep both pieces | 02:23 |
| bodhizazen | pastebin an error message and I will look | 02:23 |
| Error404NotFound | i think the best thing about ubuntu is its not windows | 02:24 |
| bodhizazen | Error404NotFound, I like windows, one of my favorite OS | 02:32 |
| Error404NotFound | lol | 02:32 |
| bodhizazen | Windows is the #1 referrer to Ubuntu | 02:32 |
| Error404NotFound | i was a winders man up untill 3 days ago... | 02:33 |
| Error404NotFound | windows 7 ftw! | 02:33 |
| UndiFineD | I take good care of windows I keep it in a box that came with my pc | 02:33 |
| bodhizazen | I quit windows b4 Ubuntu was born =) | 02:33 |
| Error404NotFound | you know windows is better... | 02:35 |
| Error404NotFound | admit it | 02:35 |
| UndiFineD | I like windows in my house | 02:37 |
| UndiFineD | but I am fine with my computer being a dull box | 02:38 |
| Error404NotFound | if linux was at all special computer companies would ship computers with it | 02:40 |
| Error404NotFound | its just something fun to mess with | 02:41 |
| UndiFineD | well I hope you enjoy messing with it just as I enjoy working with it | 02:42 |
| philipballew | Error404NotFound than answer why most all websites run linux? | 02:42 |
| Error404NotFound | are you a website? | 02:44 |
| philipballew | Error404NotFound well i have one. but its down due to lack of money. | 02:45 |
| holstein | Error404NotFound: pong | 04:30 |
| Error404NotFound | ping | 04:31 |
| Error404NotFound | now i want to play ping pong | 04:31 |
| holstein | ;) | 04:31 |
| Error404NotFound | wine is broken holstein | 04:33 |
| holstein | lol | 04:33 |
| holstein | Error404NotFound: download something easy | 04:33 |
| holstein | like the windows version of firefox | 04:33 |
| Error404NotFound | it works kind of | 04:34 |
| Error404NotFound | it doesnt think i have cd rom drives | 04:34 |
| holstein | Error404NotFound: you have to navigate to the mounted disc | 04:34 |
| Error404NotFound | how | 04:34 |
| holstein | should be in /media somewhere right? | 04:35 |
| * Error404NotFound is a linux retart remember? | 04:35 | |
| Error404NotFound | retard even | 04:35 |
| holstein | check out http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-games-33/starcraft-in-wine-disc-not-found-440490/ | 04:36 |
| holstein | #5 | 04:36 |
| holstein | i just drag what i want off the discs | 04:37 |
| holstein | but, i dont have alot of discs | 04:37 |
| Error404NotFound | both games installed | 04:37 |
| Error404NotFound | and when i try to run them it says no cd/dvd rives found | 04:37 |
| holstein | Error404NotFound: read that post | 04:38 |
| holstein | sometimes theres protection | 04:38 |
| holstein | on those discs | 04:38 |
| holstein | so you can copy them | 04:38 |
| holstein | OR | 04:38 |
| holstein | drag the contents off | 04:38 |
| holstein | and pass the disc along to a friend | 04:38 |
| Error404NotFound | none of that crap makes sense lol | 04:42 |
| Error404NotFound | what does any of that have to do with my game | 04:43 |
| Error404NotFound | it doesnt say its not a valid copy | 04:43 |
| Error404NotFound | it dont see the cd rom | 04:43 |
| holstein | right | 04:44 |
| holstein | it cant 'find' the disc | 04:44 |
| holstein | so it kicks up an error | 04:44 |
| Error404NotFound | it cant find a drive.. | 04:44 |
| holstein | RIGHT | 04:44 |
| holstein | IF it could | 04:45 |
| holstein | it would load the game | 04:45 |
| Error404NotFound | wine itself does not think i have a cd rom drive at all | 04:45 |
| holstein | *in theory | 04:45 |
| holstein | Error404NotFound: did you read that link? | 04:45 |
| Error404NotFound | yes | 04:45 |
| holstein | run in a terminal | 04:45 |
| holstein | winecfg | 04:45 |
| Error404NotFound | has nothing to do with my problem | 04:45 |
| holstein | OK | 04:45 |
| holstein | Error404NotFound: not even the part about enabling cdrom access in winecfg? | 04:45 |
| Error404NotFound | did that awhile ago | 04:46 |
| Error404NotFound | did nothing | 04:46 |
| Error404NotFound | it doesnt display a cd rom to do that to | 04:47 |
| holstein | you had the disc in? | 04:47 |
| Error404NotFound | dont need a disk in for wine to see a cd rom drive | 04:47 |
| Error404NotFound | it sees a floppy and i dont even have one | 04:48 |
| holstein | OK | 04:48 |
| holstein | you probably should just give up then... | 04:48 |
| holstein | :/ | 04:48 |
| holstein | Error404NotFound: did you force any other versions of wine? | 04:48 |
| holstein | and test? | 04:48 |
| Error404NotFound | negative | 04:48 |
| holstein | could be a bug? | 04:48 |
| Error404NotFound | there is supposed to be a new version but i didnt see it | 04:49 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get update | 04:49 |
| Error404NotFound | im using 1.3.15 | 04:49 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:49 |
| holstein | if its in the repo | 04:49 |
| holstein | it'll come in | 04:49 |
| Error404NotFound | sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:49 |
| Error404NotFound | oops | 04:49 |
| holstein | update first* | 04:50 |
| Error404NotFound | ... | 04:53 |
| Error404NotFound | holstein: would the path to cdrom be /media/cdrom0 | 04:57 |
| holstein | sounds plausible | 04:57 |
| Error404NotFound | i tried 0 and 1 after | 04:58 |
| Error404NotFound | dont work | 04:58 |
| holstein | what disc is it? | 04:58 |
| Error404NotFound | i dont see how wine dont see any optical drives.. | 04:58 |
| Error404NotFound | c&c 3 | 04:59 |
| Error404NotFound | which is on the compatibility list on appdb | 04:59 |
| holstein | Error404NotFound: what did the entry say?a | 05:02 |
| holstein | about the CD? | 05:02 |
| Error404NotFound | ? | 05:02 |
| holstein | the entry? | 05:02 |
| holstein | at wineHQ? | 05:03 |
| holstein | what did it say? | 05:03 |
| holstein | about the disc? | 05:03 |
| Error404NotFound | unless i can get wine to see optical drives im done | 05:09 |
| Error404NotFound | im not gonna rip the games to hdd to play without the disk | 05:09 |
| Error404NotFound | would be nearly 13 gigs per game | 05:10 |
| Error404NotFound | screw it im goin back to windows | 05:15 |
| holstein | well, | 05:15 |
| holstein | i fired up a CD | 05:16 |
| holstein | typed in the terminal | 05:16 |
| holstein | wine | 05:16 |
| holstein | and the path to an .exe | 05:16 |
| holstein | and it worked fine | 05:16 |
| Error404NotFound | ti install or play? | 05:16 |
| Error404NotFound | it installed fine | 05:16 |
| holstein | sure | 05:16 |
| holstein | also | 05:16 |
| holstein | in winecfg | 05:16 |
| holstein | i go to 'drives' | 05:16 |
| holstein | and do what it says in #5 | 05:17 |
| holstein | at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-games-33/starcraft-in-wine-disc-not-found-440490/ | 05:17 |
| holstein | and all is good there too | 05:17 |
| Error404NotFound | it does not list a drive period | 05:18 |
| holstein | OK | 05:18 |
| Error404NotFound | cant change something thats not there | 05:18 |
| holstein | thats going to be just for you though | 05:18 |
| holstein | it works fine here for me | 05:18 |
| holstein | and im not sure why* | 05:18 |
| Error404NotFound | cuz wine is a garbage program... | 05:18 |
| holstein | could be that you just need to spend more time wiht wine | 05:18 |
| holstein | with* | 05:19 |
| holstein | Error404NotFound: yeah, you're right | 05:19 |
| holstein | nothing to do with you just finding it ;) | 05:19 |
| Error404NotFound | nothing to be found | 05:19 |
| Error404NotFound | i did auto detect | 05:19 |
| Error404NotFound | it detects nothing | 05:19 |
| holstein | i didnt even do that | 05:19 |
| holstein | i put the disc in | 05:19 |
| holstein | started winecfg | 05:19 |
| holstein | with the disc already mounted | 05:19 |
| holstein | i went in the 'drives' tab | 05:20 |
| holstein | and its there | 05:20 |
| Error404NotFound | wtf is mounted | 05:20 |
| Error404NotFound | you mean the stupid disk is in... | 05:20 |
| holstein | not in | 05:20 |
| holstein | in and mounted* | 05:20 |
| Error404NotFound | again whats mounted | 05:20 |
| holstein | this is an example of the nomenclature | 05:21 |
| holstein | that i feel you should try and be familiar with | 05:21 |
| holstein | before assuming wine is broken | 05:21 |
| holstein | mounting makes it readable bascially* | 05:21 |
| Error404NotFound | how does one mount a disk | 05:21 |
| Error404NotFound | sounds painful... | 05:21 |
| Error404NotFound | when i go to computer the disk shows up | 05:22 |
| bioterror | !mount | 05:22 |
| ubot2 | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 05:22 |
| holstein | mine just auto-mounted | 05:22 |
| Error404NotFound | yep im lost | 05:26 |
| Error404NotFound | how can i mount something when i dont know what it is lol | 05:27 |
| holstein | ? | 05:27 |
| holstein | its the disc | 05:27 |
| holstein | that you bought | 05:27 |
| holstein | right? | 05:27 |
| holstein | whatever c&c is | 05:27 |
| holstein | thats what you want to have mounted | 05:27 |
| Error404NotFound | yeah | 05:28 |

| camilleqco | i am having a problem with my wireless connection | 12:36 |
| camilleqco | it is not working | 12:36 |
| camilleqco | it was working | 12:36 |
| camilleqco | but it is not working now | 12:36 |
| camilleqco | hoping someone can give me some guidance | 12:36 |
| mang0 | guys, I was installing wine through terminal, when my moniter froze. I had to force shutdown, and now it's aborted the installation, and I have a load of files all over the place. What do I do?! | 12:38 |
| camilleqco | is anyone out there to help? | 12:43 |
| camilleqco | maybe i better go over to ubuntu... | 12:43 |
| Sidewinder1 | I'll try | 12:44 |
| camilleqco | Sidewinder1: hi . thanks! | 12:44 |
| Sidewinder1 | Is wifi the same as wireless? | 12:45 |
| camilleqco | Sidewinder1: have a netbook with ubuntu netbook remix installed | 12:45 |
| camilleqco | Sidewinder1: yes i mean wireless | 12:45 |
| Sidewinder1 | Do you get an error msg.? | 12:45 |
| Sidewinder1 | Advanced warninig, I'm not familiar with netbook ver of ubuntu; I'm using desktop, Lucid | 12:46 |
| camilleqco | Sidewinder1: i used these instructions to install the driver - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/132667 (scroll down to #3) | 12:48 |
| camilleqco | Sidewinder1: anyway, it was working but i am duel-booting and when i came back from windows, it didn't work anymore | 12:48 |
| Sidewinder1 | Hold on... | 12:49 |
| Sidewinder1 | camilleqco, According to the destructions above, #3, you have complied your own driver from Realtek; that is way beyond my abilities to fix; in conjunction with the netbook version of ubuntu. You'll get a much faster response in #ubuntu. Sorry I can't help. :-( | 12:55 |
| camilleqco | Sidewinder1: no problem. thanks for trying! | 12:56 |
| Sidewinder1 | camilleqco: You might also try to search the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/ If the search turns up nothing of value; pose your question in the appropriate sub-forum. | 12:59 |

| Ambrose83 | MrChrisDruif: Yeah that worked. Thanks | 21:15 |
| MrChrisDruif | Ambrose83: It works with all programs (just remembered) the same. E.g. "nautilus /path/to/dir/" will open nautilus in that directory :) | 21:16 |

| geirha | xdg-open test.pdf will open the pdf file with the same app as a double click on the file would. | 21:23 |
