[00:00] szal: ok that makes sense.. how would i go about disabling that? i'm using google chrome with flashplayer square. [00:00] fredhami: how about DVI? [00:00] how do i fix my flashplayer 64bit that crashes? [00:01] what is DVI? [00:01] male to female [00:01] fredhami: digital video input? it's "not VGA"... :) [00:01] so i need a dvi cable [00:01] post to post [00:01] instead of vga [00:02] fredhami: yes, assuming your video adapter has a DVI port [00:02] adam61: no friggin' idea about Chrome [00:02] fredhami: and also assuming your display has a dvi port. [00:02] what does * . after /dir/ mean ? [00:03] szal: haha ok.. i guess i'll test it out with other browsers. thanks [00:03] yea no the computer oem does not have a installed video card [00:03] I relogged in to a closer freenode..dam disc [00:03] hiexpo: in what context? [00:04] szal, as in rsync -r /home/dion/Linux/os/pentgesting/* . [00:05] pentageisting [00:05] ? [00:05] I'm trying to burn an iso using "dd if=/tmp.iso of=/dev/sr0" but it says that /dev/sr0 is read only. My cd drive is write capable. [00:05] KM0201: just to clarify the computer has vga that i have been using for my monitor but then there a serial plug in the back of the computer. is this hte dvi [00:05] szal, is that copy the iso [00:05] hiexpo: "*" is a wildcard for multiple characters, i.e., here it means all files in "pentgesting", and "." is the directory you're currently in [00:05] typo on the dir [00:06] szal, ok [00:06] hiexpo: "rsync -r $SOURCEDIR $DESTINATIONDIR [00:06] fredhami: a DVI port, is usually right beside the vga port and looks like this...

[00:07] !meta | brianb_ [00:07] brianb_: If you would like to help in #*ubuntu* but it just goes too fast to spot interesting questions, try joining #ubuntu-meta and watching for questions there (note that it is NOT a support channel, however, and questions should still be answered in #*ubuntu*) [00:07] How do i keep the full screen window on the main monitor..when i clik full screen it always opens in the second monitor..help please [00:07] hi ubuntu, i have a question - what is the syntax to add a mac address only to allow ssh from one host only on my local net and via wan route? [00:07] on ufw [00:07] can someone tell me if you look at the grub.cfg file should the root entry and intrd point to the same hard drive? if you are multibooting from the ubuntu grub2 bootloader into another distro installed on another partition? [00:08] ah no negative I dont have dvi output thanks I seen this cable for the dvi before though. thx [00:08] the root and initrd can be on different drives [00:08] fredhami: yeah, if you don't have DVI output on your display, its gonna be pretty hard to hook up to a dvi port [00:08] does ANYONE know how to disable vsync? [00:08] serial to dvi is fast [00:08] hi, there is unity for an alternative for gnome "drawer" [00:09] crogeek_on_ubunt: what do you mean by that? [00:09] or how to turn it off [00:09] can you explain === tweak4fun-Away is now known as tweak4fun [00:09] well I play QUakeLive and there's everything set ok, when I change resolution my FPS is locked on 60 [00:10] on every resolution [00:10] where's the problem w/ that? [00:10] that's bad [00:10] I need 125 fps [00:10] Km0201: then ubuntu works with a dvi output instead of vga output [00:10] on 9.10 I had 125 [00:10] do you have a monitor that does that? [00:10] crogeek_on_ubunt, man you must have super eyes [00:10] aaaaalex: I am not funny [00:10] I need solution for disabling vsync [00:11] The human eye can only distinguish about 25 frames per second. Anything over that is just overkill. [00:11] other than that, from what I gather (as a non-gamer), fps in a game has got nothing to do w/ the sync rate of the screen [00:11] fredhami: it should work w/ either one i would think [00:11] VoxGibson: fine but QuakeLive is a game [00:11] stability in rotation [00:11] I'm trying to burn an iso using "dd if=/tmp.iso of=/dev/sr0" but it says that /dev/sr0 is read only. My cd drive is write capable. [00:11] VoxGibson, why can i see a difference from 30fps in games compared to 60fps? [00:11] at 25 frames per seconf you will notice flicker [00:11] anything above 60fps i don't notice. [00:12] Belial`: install QuakeLive you'll see difference [00:12] 60 vs 125, big one [00:12] gizmo_: would be new to me that you could burn an ISO w/ dd [00:12] szal: growisofs my friend, but dd? [00:12] you can burn anything with dd just ruins the disk [00:12] carnage1: lol [00:12] gizmo_: you can also use wodim [00:12] gizmo_: if that were possible, would we need burning software any longer? ;) [00:12] Registry Hacks are only 4 windows right ? [00:12] i should say 25 pictures per second and if you use a interlace scanning system the picture rate will be 50 pic sec [00:13] There isn't a registry per-se in ubuntu. [00:13] tru dat [00:13] crogeek_on_ubunt: again, my perception is that fps in a game has nothing to do w/ sync rate of a displaying device [00:14] VoxGibson, no there is not - thanks for that [00:14] for some reason certain flash games won't play in ubuntu 11.04 with the new firefox 4, the game i was trying to play was nes punch-out [00:14] ghostnik11: 64-bit system? [00:14] zaelyx: 32-bit system, actually thinkpad t60 [00:15] KM0201: then if I get a video adapter it should have dvi output when ubuntu visual enhancements are enable to get the eye candy that ubuntu offers?

[00:16] ghostnik11: try it on chrome? [00:16] who would like to help me troubleshoot skype? [00:16] zaelyx: okay thanks will do right away [00:16] fredhami: apparently i'm not being clear, or i'm not understanding you... Here's the deal.. if your display (monitor) is capable of DVI , then i would think, yes.. you can use the DVI port on your machine.. .if your display does not have a DVI port, then you will have to use the VGA... it all depends on your display... if you have a vga only display, then no, you can't hook i tup to a DVI adapter, and expect it to work [00:17] hola, am in need de assistance to connect server to OpenSim [00:17] yigal: sorry not really a fan of chrome like firefox better [00:17] can anybody help por favor?

Anyone know if 11.04 tries to turn on trim/discard on an SSD during the install, and if so how to disable that? my SSD supports trim but my chipset doesn't, so trying to use it locks the system up. I'm guessing this is what's happening, as it's crashing when it tries to make the filesystems during the install. [00:47] ShaunDreclin, need sudo [00:47] What's a kernel?
