[00:04] <jpgnizak> anyone having problems with skype on 11.04? installs, but it wont start?
[00:05] <Error404NotFound> skype is bad
[00:06] <philipballew> jpgnizak type the comand that starts skype into the terminal. its most likely just skype
[00:06] <jpgnizak> i know, need it for a few contacts
[00:06] <jpgnizak> hm,
[00:07] <Error404NotFound> pidgin should have skype in it
[00:08] <Error404NotFound> i dont use skype cuz they are identity theifs
[00:08] <jpgnizak> let me check
[00:08] <Error404NotFound> no it doesnt
[00:08] <Error404NotFound> im saying it should..
[00:11] <jpgnizak> terminal works.
[00:11] <philipballew> when you say terminal works you mean it loads up skpye?
[00:13] <jpgnizak> yep
[00:13] <jpgnizak> but hitting the icon from unity does not
[00:14] <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?
[00:15] <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
[00:17] <philipballew_> type main menu into the search bar
[00:18] <geirha> philipballew: Hm. According to that bug (the last one), that bug has been fixed in the latest updates.
[00:18] <jpgnizak> yeah, i see it
[00:19] <philipballew_> geirha ill update then
[00:20] <philipballew_> jpgnizak click on that. go to internet skype. click properties and tell me what the text in the box called command says
[00:22] <jpgnizak> skype-wrapper
[00:23] <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] <jpgnizak> That works
[00:24] <philipballew_> Sweet. i hope you can skype away now!
[00:24] <jpgnizak> now i can call mom;)
[00:24] <jpgnizak> Thank you very much
[00:25] <philipballew_> haha. mothers day is comming up. you are quite welcome. i had the simmular problem before. if there is anything else be sure to keep comming back to irc
[00:28] <Error404NotFound> how do i end a program thats not responding?
[00:31] <Error404NotFound> anyone?
[00:33] <geirha> "not responding" is a bit vague. Could you elaborate?
[00:34] <Error404NotFound> i tried to load magicjack with wine
[00:34] <Error404NotFound> its frozen
[00:40] <geirha> Alt+F2 -> xkill
[00:41] <geirha> The cursor will change to an X
[00:41] <geirha> Click on the window that's frozen to kill it
[00:42] <Error404NotFound> alt f2 brings up run application
[02:15] <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?
[02:18] <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
[02:19] <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
[02:20] <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
[02:21] <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
[02:22] <bodhizazen> HTH UndiFineD =)
[02:22] <bodhizazen> what did you break philipballew ?
[02:23] <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
[02:24] <Error404NotFound> i think the best thing about ubuntu is its not windows
[02:32] <bodhizazen> Error404NotFound, I like windows, one of my favorite OS
[02:32] <Error404NotFound> lol
[02:32] <bodhizazen> Windows is the #1 referrer to Ubuntu
[02:33] <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 =)
[02:35] <Error404NotFound> you know windows is better...
[02:35] <Error404NotFound> admit it
[02:37] <UndiFineD> I like windows in my house
[02:38] <UndiFineD> but I am fine with my computer being a dull box
[02:40] <Error404NotFound> if linux was at all special computer companies would ship computers with it
[02:41] <Error404NotFound> its just something fun to mess with
[02:42] <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?
[02:44] <Error404NotFound> are you a website?
[02:45] <philipballew> Error404NotFound well i have one. but its down due to lack of money.
[04:30] <holstein> Error404NotFound: pong
[04:31] <Error404NotFound> ping
[04:31] <Error404NotFound> now i want to play ping pong
[04:31] <holstein> ;)
[04:33] <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
[04:34] <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
[04:35] <holstein> should be in /media somewhere right?
[04:35]  * Error404NotFound is a linux retart remember?
[04:35] <Error404NotFound> retard even
[04:36] <holstein> check out http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-games-33/starcraft-in-wine-disc-not-found-440490/
[04:36] <holstein> #5
[04:37] <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
[04:38] <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
[04:42] <Error404NotFound> none of that crap makes sense lol
[04:43] <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
[04:44] <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
[04:45] <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?
[04:46] <Error404NotFound> did that awhile ago
[04:46] <Error404NotFound> did nothing
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <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?
[04:49] <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
[04:50] <holstein> update first*
[04:53] <Error404NotFound> ...
[04:57] <Error404NotFound> holstein:  would the path to cdrom be /media/cdrom0
[04:57] <holstein> sounds plausible
[04:58] <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..
[04:59] <Error404NotFound> c&c 3
[04:59] <Error404NotFound> which is on the compatibility list on appdb
[05:02] <holstein> Error404NotFound: what did the entry say?a
[05:02] <holstein> about the CD?
[05:02] <Error404NotFound> ?
[05:02] <holstein> the entry?
[05:03] <holstein> at wineHQ?
[05:03] <holstein> what did it say?
[05:03] <holstein> about the disc?
[05:09] <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
[05:10] <Error404NotFound> would be nearly 13 gigs per game
[05:15] <Error404NotFound> screw it im goin back to windows
[05:15] <holstein> well,
[05:16] <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'
[05:17] <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
[05:18] <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
[05:19] <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
[05:20] <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
[05:21] <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...
[05:22] <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
[05:26] <Error404NotFound> yep im lost
[05:27] <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
[05:28] <Error404NotFound> yeah
[05:28] <DarkwingDuck> Hey team
[05:29] <holstein> Error404NotFound: anyways, im quite sure that #5 at that post is relevant
[05:29] <holstein> and i bet you'll figure it out :)
[05:29] <holstein> GN all
[05:29] <Error404NotFound> not to me
[05:29] <holstein> Error404NotFound: yes to you
[05:29] <Error404NotFound> on a diff note im having problems with windows in ubuntu
[05:29] <Error404NotFound> i cant click on a window to bring it to the front anymore
[05:29] <holstein> '
[05:30] <holstein> "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] <holstein> ^ thats from that post
[05:30] <Error404NotFound> not relevent to me
[05:30] <holstein> Error404NotFound: OK
[05:30] <Error404NotFound> since wine dont see an optical drive
[05:30] <holstein> for me
[05:30] <holstein> just now
[05:30] <holstein> i used that
[05:30] <holstein> and saw the CD
[05:30] <Error404NotFound> it sees a drive
[05:30] <holstein> wine could see and use it
[05:30] <Error404NotFound> fake windows c drive
[05:31] <holstein> SO, im pretty sure that could be helpful to you
[05:31] <holstein> at some point

[05:36] <Error404NotFound> it wasnt doing this an hour ago and i didnt sdo anything

[10:59] <mang0> Heya guys :)
[11:00] <mang0> how can I install grub2 on a drive with windows on, without losing my windows stuff?
[12:35] <MrsHillBilly> My cd/dvd drive won't recognise or play discs that I have burned myself. Can anyone tell me why and how to cure it please
[12:36] <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
[12:38] <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?!
[12:43] <camilleqco> is anyone out there to help?
[12:43] <camilleqco> maybe i better go over to ubuntu...
[12:44] <Sidewinder1> I'll try
[12:44] <camilleqco> Sidewinder1: hi . thanks!
[12:45] <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.?
[12:46] <Sidewinder1> Advanced warninig, I'm not familiar with netbook ver of ubuntu; I'm using desktop, Lucid
[12:48] <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
[12:49] <Sidewinder1> Hold on...
[12:55] <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. :-(
[12:56] <camilleqco> Sidewinder1: no problem. thanks for trying!
[12:59] <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.

[16:22] <TurkuSama> hi all
[16:22] <OldManAtThe> Thanks, I'll go and look
[20:37] <XenithOrb> Hi I have my computer set to not go to sleep at all or do anything when I close the lid - basically to keep it on and running normally all the time. 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] <Ambrose83> what is the command to open a document "test.pdf" with the document viewer
[21:01] <MrChrisDruif> Ambrose83: In terminal?
[21:01] <Ambrose83> yes
[21:02] <MrChrisDruif> I thought it was touch test.pdf, not sure thou
[21:04] <Ambrose83> that didn't open the document
[21:04] <Ambrose83> "man touch" said that this command was to change the time stamps
[21:11] <MrChrisDruif> Ambrose83: man pdftohtml
[21:13] <MrChrisDruif> Ambrose83: Might be evince /path/to/file.pdf
[21:14] <MrChrisDruif> As in "evince test.pdf"
[21:15] <Ambrose83> MrChrisDruif: Yeah that worked.  Thanks
[21:16] <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] <MrChrisDruif> Or at least most programs :)
[21:23] <geirha> xdg-open test.pdf   will open the pdf file with the same app as a double click on the file would.
[21:25] <MrChrisDruif> geirha: Does that work for all kind of files? :D
[21:25] <geirha> Yes
[21:25] <MrChrisDruif> I'll try to remember that :)
[21:25] <MrChrisDruif> Thanks :)
