[07:02] <edie_> how can I creat shortcuts on my desktop ?
[07:02] <edie_> create*
[09:56] <Gemini> hm,why when i start that update thing in ubuntu,my laptop freez?
[11:56] <clarkthehardy910> can someone help me install my graphics card driver (or change my output frequency) using the LiveCD?  I can't get safemode or even grub with my fresh install.
[11:57] <clarkthehardy910> but I can boot the LiveCD
[12:04] <nlsthzn> clarkthehardy910: press f8 at boot time to be able to select some parameters... one of them will let you boot using general vesa driver or something similar...
[12:04] <clarkthehardy910> do I press f8 before holding down shift?
[12:04] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: ?
[12:05] <nlsthzn> clarkthehardy910: no shift required... just f8 at the beginning of boot
[12:05] <clarkthehardy910> ok
[12:05] <clarkthehardy910> can you hang on and let me try?
[12:06] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: just tried f8 it doesnt work
[12:06] <clarkthehardy910> still getting "Attention Out of range"
[12:06] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: is there a way to change the settings with the LiveCD booted
[12:07] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: I dont even see a boot menu, if I hold shift, I see it say Loading Grub, but only for a split second
[12:08] <clarkthehardy910> I mean "GRUB Loading" to be exact
[12:23] <nlsthzn> clarkthehardy910: pressing f8 will give you the menu you need
[12:24] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: I've tried it four times
[12:24] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: it doesn't work
[12:24] <nlsthzn> clarkthehardy910: that is very strange :/
[12:24] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: I have an old CRT monitor  for this machine
[12:24] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: it will boot the LiveCD
[12:25] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: but as soon as I hold down shift or f8 without the cd inserted, I get a screen that I believe is a refresh rate problem...I've looked at these topics, but they dont get me very far

[12:26] <nlsthzn> clarkthehardy910: I don't have the knowledge to assist you from there (if is is possible)... maybe someone else will be along soon... as for the link to launchpad... things have changed a lot since 6.06...
[12:27] <clarkthehardy910> ok... thanks for trying
[12:27] <clarkthehardy910> =)
[12:27] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: I wish there was a way to edit my graphics settings from the livecd terminal prompt
[12:28] <clarkthehardy910> but i know know how to mount and get permission to my installation
[12:29] <nlsthzn> clarkthehardy910: way back when there was a file that x11 used that you could have edited... now it isn't used anymore... I do know that if the file is available it will be used but I have no idea now what the best solution is (or what that file is called now... been to long ago I struggled with something like this)
[12:30] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: ok, thanks for the explanation
[12:30] <nlsthzn> clarkthehardy910: take all I said as 10% reliable :p (I do)
[12:30] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: ok, thanks....
[12:31] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: supposing that f8 works
[12:31] <clarkthehardy910> and it actually gets to the login options, but I can't see them because my screen issues
[12:31] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: is it possible to do it blind? I mean, if its only a few choices to get safe graphics mode
[12:32] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: couldn't i theoretically choose it without seeing it and then eventually get Unity booted in it or at least to command prompt?
[12:32] <clarkthehardy910> from there I can change the refresh rate
[12:33] <nlsthzn> clarkthehardy910: I guess it is if someone knows it off by heart (I am at work now and I don't even run Ubuntu currently)... but I find it strange that you don't have any refresh rate issues with the live CD ... and also, the boot prompt shouldn't give you issues with your refresh either :/
[12:35] <clarkthehardy910> I've got ubuntu installed in its own partition, can I mount it and then change settings?
[12:35] <clarkthehardy910> working on the Live CD
[12:38] <clarkthehardy910> nlsthzn: the CD's Monitors GUI gives two frequency options: 85 and 75 Hz, but Unity is apparently trying to boot with a 90 hz rate, because that's what the error message says: 90 Hor and 60 Ver
[13:30] <martijn1985>  Does anyone know why my NFS server works fine on Natty, but on Lucid the client can't find the shared directory's? /etc/exports is exactly the same file and the firewall is turned on with natty, but off on lucid
[14:05] <clarkthehardy910> when trying to boot a fresh install of Unity 11.04 (I've only had one successful boot, at which time, I updated the driver for my geforce nvidia graphics card), now upon reboot, its saying that there's no such disk and no such device: (lots of 0s behind it), must first load the kernal.  What do I do to get my ubuntu back up and running?
[14:25] <phoenix_> I have an issue with finding applications in 11.04. Just installed Crossover Games and I can't seem to find the shortcut. Anyone know?
[14:53] <coalwater> what's the process name of the vnc server ubuntu has
[16:48] <froq> Hello!  Does anyone know where I can get a nice written guide of all the customization options available to me when using 10.04 LTS?!  I wanted to customize my desktop.
[16:53] <stlsaint> froq: i have not seen such a document as you have the options of not only using the default settings but also other apps such as compiz, emerald theme manager,etc so no one document covers them all
[16:54] <froq> stlsaint, thank you!  no no, that is the direction I wanted. :)  Appreciate it.  I am not a fan of compiz b/c it freaks with vnc viewer.
[16:54] <stlsaint> froq: emerald theme manager is nice
[16:54] <stlsaint> then again it uses compiz, forgot about that
[16:57] <froq> stlsaint, o bummer...  anything you know of that doesn't use compiz ?!?!  Just don'
[16:57] <froq> just don't like it because it makes VNC super slow.
[17:00] <stlsaint> froq: well what type of customizations are you looking for?
[17:01] <froq> ... idk jsut want to play around.  not a fan of the simplinest of gnome 2 from default.
[17:07] <froq> stlsaint, I am just a man who is bored with the current look who refuses to change to a newer version until it is LTS again or they fix the VNC problem.  if that is possible?!  idk
[17:08] <stlsaint> froq: well check out the default options in the appearance menu
[17:08] <froq> yep yep ok
[18:18] <UBUNTUN00B> hey all how is Sunday goingÉ
[18:56] <Edgar970> Hi, please anyone knows the method to install XBMC media center on natty with gnome 3, thanks a lot
[19:16] <bioterror> Edgar970, sudo apt-get install xbmc? :D
[22:48] <geirha> Yay, I just passed 2K points on askubuntu :)
[22:51] <UBUNTUN00B> hey all
[23:26] <froq> is it possible to install amarok on gnome?!  or do I have to use KDE?
[23:27] <froq> nvm...  i just sudo apt-get install amarok... didn't realize you could install KDE apps too... it just brings lots of dependencies.
[23:28] <scottyfubar> four questions
[23:28] <scottyfubar> 1. how do i tell empathy not to show who is entering or leaving an irc room?
[23:30] <scottyfubar> ah well, i see nobody's here either...
[23:30] <froq> scottyfubar, I am here... but idk.
[23:30] <scottyfubar> oh.
[23:30] <froq> never used empathy.
[23:30] <scottyfubar> what are you using?
[23:31] <scottyfubar> (i.e. which irc client software?)
[23:32] <froq> xchat.
[23:32] <froq> sudo apt-get install xchat
[23:32] <scottyfubar> wonderful. do you know the command within xchat for my question?
[23:34] <froq> by default, xchat does not show that information.
[23:34] <scottyfubar> even better. thanks! see ya :)
[23:34] <charlie-tca> There is an option for each channel by right-clicking the channel, to turn those off or on
[23:35] <charlie-tca> (in Xchat, I don' t know Xchat-gnome)
[23:35] <scottyfubar> nothing similar here.
[23:35] <scottyfubar> oh, i might as well ask my other questions, to see if you know the answers :)
[23:36] <froq> xchat vs. xchat-gnome?! what is the difference?
[23:36] <scottyfubar> 2. i can't get the sound card to turn off the internal speaker when i plug in a headphone set. any ideas?
[23:36] <charlie-tca> Xchat was first, xchat-gnome is a fork with fewer options
[23:37] <froq> charlie-tca, ... o got ya... I think I just have xchat, not xchat gnome. :)
[23:37] <charlie-tca> Probably
[23:41] <scottyfubar> okay, no answer for question 2, how about 3.
[23:42] <scottyfubar> dvd's don't play
