[00:31] anyone? [00:33] "not responding" is a bit vague. Could you elaborate? [00:34] i tried to load magicjack with wine [00:34] its frozen [00:40] Alt+F2 -> xkill [00:41] The cursor will change to an X [00:41] Click on the window that's frozen to kill it [00:42] alt f2 brings up run application [02:15] i keep getting this error when updating my computer The following packages have been kept back: [02:15] xulrunner-dev [02:15] any ideas? [02:18] philipballew, it says it did not install it [02:18] hajour, poke [02:18] bodhizazen, relaying ;) [02:18] I found a solution 4 u [02:18] In firefox 4 [02:18] UndiFineD i know that [02:19] philipballew, and that is because of dependecies [02:19] Preferences -> Advanced (by Fonts & Colors) [02:19] "Minimum font size" [02:19] well i ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to try to fox it but it still didnt work [02:20] If I set the font size to 24, it applies to all web page inc. forums [02:20] I am runninf ff 4.01 which I downloaded from Mozilla, and not a ppa [02:20] that is nice bodhizazen [02:21] Yes, there is some overlap of the fonts at the very top, but the page is very readable [02:21] UndiFineD well i ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to try to fix it but it still didnt work [02:22] HTH UndiFineD =) [02:22] what did you break philipballew ? [02:23] bodhizazen everything :) [02:23] Well, best thing about Ubuntu [02:23] If you break it you get to keep both pieces [02:23] pastebin an error message and I will look [02:24] i think the best thing about ubuntu is its not windows [02:32] Error404NotFound, I like windows, one of my favorite OS [02:32] lol [02:32] Windows is the #1 referrer to Ubuntu [02:33] i was a winders man up untill 3 days ago... [02:33] windows 7 ftw! [02:33] I take good care of windows I keep it in a box that came with my pc [02:33] I quit windows b4 Ubuntu was born =) [02:35] you know windows is better... [02:35] admit it [02:37] I like windows in my house [02:38] but I am fine with my computer being a dull box [02:40] if linux was at all special computer companies would ship computers with it [02:41] its just something fun to mess with [02:42] well I hope you enjoy messing with it just as I enjoy working with it [02:42] Error404NotFound than answer why most all websites run linux? [02:44] are you a website? [02:45] Error404NotFound well i have one. but its down due to lack of money. [04:30] Error404NotFound: pong [04:31] ping [04:31] now i want to play ping pong [04:31] ;) [04:33] wine is broken holstein [04:33] lol [04:33] Error404NotFound: download something easy [04:33] like the windows version of firefox [04:34] it works kind of [04:34] it doesnt think i have cd rom drives [04:34] Error404NotFound: you have to navigate to the mounted disc [04:34] how [04:35] should be in /media somewhere right? [04:35] * Error404NotFound is a linux retart remember? [04:35] retard even [04:36] check out http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-games-33/starcraft-in-wine-disc-not-found-440490/ [04:36] #5 [04:37] i just drag what i want off the discs [04:37] but, i dont have alot of discs [04:37] both games installed [04:37] and when i try to run them it says no cd/dvd rives found [04:38] Error404NotFound: read that post [04:38] sometimes theres protection [04:38] on those discs [04:38] so you can copy them [04:38] OR [04:38] drag the contents off [04:38] and pass the disc along to a friend [04:42] none of that crap makes sense lol [04:43] what does any of that have to do with my game [04:43] it doesnt say its not a valid copy [04:43] it dont see the cd rom [04:44] right [04:44] it cant 'find' the disc [04:44] so it kicks up an error [04:44] it cant find a drive.. [04:44] RIGHT [04:45] IF it could [04:45] it would load the game [04:45] wine itself does not think i have a cd rom drive at all [04:45] *in theory [04:45] Error404NotFound: did you read that link? [04:45] yes [04:45] run in a terminal [04:45] winecfg [04:45] has nothing to do with my problem [04:45] OK [04:45] Error404NotFound: not even the part about enabling cdrom access in winecfg? [04:46] did that awhile ago [04:46] did nothing [04:47] it doesnt display a cd rom to do that to [04:47] you had the disc in? [04:47] dont need a disk in for wine to see a cd rom drive [04:48] it sees a floppy and i dont even have one [04:48] OK [04:48] you probably should just give up then... [04:48] :/ [04:48] Error404NotFound: did you force any other versions of wine? [04:48] and test? [04:48] negative [04:48] could be a bug? [04:49] there is supposed to be a new version but i didnt see it [04:49] sudo apt-get update [04:49] im using 1.3.15 [04:49] sudo apt-get upgrade [04:49] if its in the repo [04:49] it'll come in [04:49] sudo apt-get upgrade [04:49] oops [04:50] update first* [04:53] ... [04:57] holstein: would the path to cdrom be /media/cdrom0 [04:57] sounds plausible [04:58] i tried 0 and 1 after [04:58] dont work [04:58] what disc is it? [04:58] i dont see how wine dont see any optical drives.. [04:59] c&c 3 [04:59] which is on the compatibility list on appdb [05:02] Error404NotFound: what did the entry say?a [05:02] about the CD? [05:02] ? [05:02] the entry? [05:03] at wineHQ? [05:03] what did it say? [05:03] about the disc? [05:09] unless i can get wine to see optical drives im done [05:09] im not gonna rip the games to hdd to play without the disk [05:10] would be nearly 13 gigs per game [05:15] screw it im goin back to windows [05:15] well, [05:16] i fired up a CD [05:16] typed in the terminal [05:16] wine [05:16] and the path to an .exe [05:16] and it worked fine [05:16] ti install or play? [05:16] it installed fine [05:16] sure [05:16] also [05:16] in winecfg [05:16] i go to 'drives' [05:17] and do what it says in #5 [05:17] at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-games-33/starcraft-in-wine-disc-not-found-440490/ [05:17] and all is good there too [05:18] it does not list a drive period [05:18] OK [05:18] cant change something thats not there [05:18] thats going to be just for you though [05:18] it works fine here for me [05:18] and im not sure why* [05:18] cuz wine is a garbage program... [05:18] could be that you just need to spend more time wiht wine [05:19] with* [05:19] Error404NotFound: yeah, you're right [05:19] nothing to do with you just finding it ;) [05:19] nothing to be found [05:19] i did auto detect [05:19] it detects nothing [05:19] i didnt even do that [05:19] i put the disc in [05:19] started winecfg [05:19] with the disc already mounted [05:20] i went in the 'drives' tab [05:20] and its there [05:20] wtf is mounted [05:20] you mean the stupid disk is in... [05:20] not in [05:20] in and mounted* [05:20] again whats mounted [05:21] this is an example of the nomenclature [05:21] that i feel you should try and be familiar with [05:21] before assuming wine is broken [05:21] mounting makes it readable bascially* [05:21] how does one mount a disk [05:21] sounds painful... [05:22] when i go to computer the disk shows up [05:22] !mount [05:22] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [05:22] mine just auto-mounted [05:26] yep im lost [05:27] how can i mount something when i dont know what it is lol [05:27] ? [05:27] its the disc [05:27] that you bought [05:27] right? [05:27] whatever c&c is [05:27] thats what you want to have mounted [05:28] yeah [05:28] Hey team [05:29] Error404NotFound: anyways, im quite sure that #5 at that post is relevant [05:29] and i bet you'll figure it out :) [05:29] GN all [05:29] not to me [05:29] Error404NotFound: yes to you [05:29] on a diff note im having problems with windows in ubuntu [05:29] i cant click on a window to bring it to the front anymore [05:29] ' [05:30] "got it to work in winecfg in the drives spot by auto-detecting my drives and then changing drive G: (my cd drive) to CD-Rom instead of Local Hard Drive." [05:30] ^ thats from that post [05:30] not relevent to me [05:30] Error404NotFound: OK [05:30] since wine dont see an optical drive [05:30] for me [05:30] just now [05:30] i used that [05:30] and saw the CD [05:30] it sees a drive [05:30] wine could see and use it [05:30] fake windows c drive [05:31] SO, im pretty sure that could be helpful to you [05:31] at some point [05:31] h which is home [05:31] and z [05:31] anyways..

Can anyone tell me why and how to cure it please [12:36] i am having a problem with my wireless connection [12:36] it is not working [12:36] it was working [12:36] but it is not working now [12:36] hoping someone can give me some guidance [12:38] 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?! [12:43] is anyone out there to help? [12:43] maybe i better go over to ubuntu... [12:44] I'll try [12:44] Sidewinder1: hi . thanks! [12:45] Is wifi the same as wireless? [12:45] Sidewinder1: have a netbook with ubuntu netbook remix installed [12:45] Sidewinder1: yes i mean wireless [12:45] Do you get an error msg.? [12:46] Advanced warninig, I'm not familiar with netbook ver of ubuntu; I'm using desktop, Lucid [12:48] 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] Sidewinder1: anyway, it was working but i am duel-booting and when i came back from windows, it didn't work anymore [12:49] Hold on... [12:55] 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. :-( [12:56] Sidewinder1: no problem. thanks for trying! [12:59] 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. [14:46] hello ?

I have downloaded ppdMP620-630en-1.5 but don't know where to put the thing to install it ! Any guidance very welcome.

Problem is, after a certain period of the time the wireless card disconnects from the wireless network regardless of the power settings. How do I go about changing this behavior? [20:59] what is the command to open a document "test.pdf" with the document viewer [21:01] Ambrose83: In terminal? [21:01] yes [21:02] I thought it was touch test.pdf, not sure thou [21:04] that didn't open the document [21:04] "man touch" said that this command was to change the time stamps [21:11] Ambrose83: man pdftohtml [21:13] Ambrose83: Might be evince /path/to/file.pdf [21:14] As in "evince test.pdf" [21:15] MrChrisDruif: Yeah that worked. Thanks [21:16] Ambrose83: It works with all programs (just remembered) the same. E.g. "nautilus /path/to/dir/" will open nautilus in that directory :) [21:16] Or at least most programs :) [21:23] xdg-open test.pdf will open the pdf file with the same app as a double click on the file would. [21:25] geirha: Does that work for all kind of files? :D [21:25] Yes [21:25] I'll try to remember that :) [21:25] Thanks :) [21:40] http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/ubuntu-membership-is-available-to-those-who-are-active-on-the-ubuntu-forums/ [21:40] xdg-open FTW =) [21:44] bodhizazen: Indeed :) [21:46] bodhizazen: And I don't want to become a member by being active on the forum <_<" (It's not my style)
