| ubuntu__ | James147: it didn't even see the hfs+ partition | 00:03 |
| areichman | PythonSnake: I saw that link, unfortunately that's for the dvd itself, which works great for me. It's the transcoded file that's out of sync :-( | 00:03 |
| areichman | oh wlel, I'll try a few more things | 00:03 |
| areichman | thanks for your help | 00:03 |
| iDanielSan | fine. just tried to do a bootable usb stick with the startup disk crator. can't make the iso image my source | 00:03 |

| PythonSnake | hi m4v | 00:20 |
| ubuntu__ | I think this file system is barfing on the big file | 00:22 |
| ubuntu__ | 44GB file too big for ext2 maybe? | 00:23 |
| James147 | ubuntu__: think it depends on the block size | 00:25 |
| ubuntu__ | perhaps | 00:25 |
| James147 | ^^ at least accoring to wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext2#File_system_limits :) | 00:25 |
| ubuntu__ | i wonder if fsck tells me that | 00:26 |
| James147 | /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/hda2 | grep 'Block size' | 00:26 |
| ubuntu__ | whatever that's doing its taking too long :) | 00:28 |
| James147 | didnt for me :S | 00:28 |
| ubuntu__ | maybe its because I am copying from same drive | 00:28 |

| ubuntu__ | well its still copying right now | 00:32 |
| ubuntu__ | 44g is kinda insane | 00:32 |

| evoain | shortcuts | 08:20 |
| inference | for quassel or something? | 08:21 |
| evoain | basic ones. Like joining, registering and others... | 08:21 |
| inference | oh, say "/join #channel" | 08:22 |
| inference | where channel is the name | 08:22 |
| inference | like.. /join #reddit | 08:22 |
| inference | start typing someone's nick and then hit 'tab' to complete it | 08:23 |
| inference | say /msg nickname to message ppl | 08:23 |
| inference | to register.. try saying /msg NickServ help commands | 08:23 |
| inference | has lots of good stuff | 08:24 |
| evoain | inference: How do I register a new user name? | 08:25 |
| inference | say: /msg NickServ REGISTER <password> <e-mail-address> | 08:27 |
| evoain | inference: Thank you buddy | 08:28 |
| evoain | hold on | 08:29 |
| evoain | where do i type user name? | 08:29 |
| inference | it registers the username you are using | 08:30 |
| evoain | and for another user name...? | 08:30 |
| inference | hmm.. i remember something about associating nicks | 08:30 |
| inference | lemme look | 08:30 |
| Unit193 | inference: You can group them | 08:31 |
| Unit193 | You have to change to that nick | 08:31 |
| evoain | Unit193: How? | 08:31 |
| Unit193 | /nick Username | 08:31 |
| inference | oh, say /nick <new name> | 08:31 |
| evoain | inference: Unit193: Thanks a lot guys | 08:32 |
| Unit193 | inference: You did all the work and I still get some thanks ;) | 08:32 |
| inference | cool beans | 08:33 |
| inference | im bored.. like.. starving for interaction while pressing enter relentlessly on this retarded apt-get -f install process | 08:33 |
| inference | now it's doing nothing | 08:34 |
| Unit193 | apt-get -f install -y ? | 08:34 |
| inference | just repeating Media change: please insert the disc labeled Kubuntu.. in the drive /cdrom/ and press enter. | 08:34 |
| Unit193 | Hmmm... Sounds like you have the CD still in the sources.list | 08:35 |

| inference | whenever i try to run apt-get install anything... it tells me that about 200 language packs i don't need are missing dependencies | 08:36 |

| computer_ | i dont think xapian is exactly what i was looking for | 09:27 |
| valorie | searching the web is an entirely different proposition | 09:45 |
| valorie | web search means running huge servers, spidering, enormous databases, etc. | 09:45 |
| valorie | Google runs on linux | 09:46 |
| valorie | but you'll never find an open source resource like that, IMO | 09:46 |

| giowck | nice, it works now also on my pc. Yesterday the flash package didn't work. Seems to be fixed :D | 13:36 |

| BluesKaj | so a mere reinstall with package manager won't make much difference | 13:52 |
| Badenser | Hi there. I am using Kubuntu 11.04. (and so KMail 1.13.6). Since one of the last updates, I have problems with my identities: When creating a new mail or reply, the identity was taken that was assigned to the current folder or to the original mail before. Now kmail takes the last identity used. | 13:55 |
| Badenser | Also the used "sent" mail folder is sometimes wrong. it uses a folder not assigned to the used identity but of another ... | 13:55 |
| Badenser | Did I do something wrong? | 13:55 |
| BluesKaj | Badenser, maybe the user acct and identity settings aren't correct | 14:04 |
| Badenser | "not correct"? | 14:04 |
| Badenser | I rechecked everything ... I'd say they are correct - but what could I miss? | 14:05 |
| BluesKaj | Badenser, I haven't used kmail in a while , but recall the settings can be confusing between user acct and identities\ | 14:05 |
| Badenser | I think I am aware of the concept. And: it worked fine in former KMail releases | 14:05 |
| Badenser | as mentioned: the problems came up in one of the past updates | 14:06 |
| BluesKaj | right ...after kde4 I found kmail clunky to set up and use , too many options for impatient ppl like me | 14:07 |
| Badenser | it also worked on KDE4 once | 14:08 |
| BluesKaj | I know that last comment doesn't help , but that's the reason I switched to gmail | 14:08 |
| Badenser | this wouldnt help. | 14:10 |
| Badenser | and btw, the identities stuff is great as I have some accounts with several different identites ... | 14:10 |
| Badenser | even evolution doesnt do it better | 14:10 |
| === vlt is now known as vlt_phone | ||
| BluesKaj | yes Badenser , agreed ...I liked the dentities and used that feature as well | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | identities | 14:12 |
| * genii-around sticks with his Pine | 14:13 | |
| * szal had no problem porting KMail settings from KDE3 to KDE4 | 14:13 | |
| * Badenser neither | 14:13 | |
| szal | but then again, that was 2 years ago, so don't ask me for details ;) | 14:13 |
| * Badenser had problems with one of the last Kubuntu updates (unfortunately cannot remember which) | 14:13 | |
| BluesKaj | it might be coincidence , but just around that time my mailserver switched to hotmail so the pop3 mail settings no longer worked , had to switch to pophm and smtphm | 14:15 |
| szal | but I switched distros quite a few times w/ these settings and never experienced any oddities | 14:15 |
| Badenser | other question: where could I continue debugging? | 14:15 |

| claydoh | I doubt it in this case | 15:42 |
| lcb | claydoh: it's ok :) | 15:43 |
| PythonSnake | do we need antivirus ? lcb | 15:43 |
| claydoh | some scanners are a pain, tho these days a lot of then Just Work, the rest are annoyingly difficult :/ | 15:44 |
| lcb | PythonSnake: very subjective matter. if there is an antivirus for linux, probably there are virus for linux. | 15:44 |
| lcb | i never digged on that | 15:44 |
| claydoh | PythonSnake: antivirus fo linux, generally not needed | 15:44 |
| PythonSnake | lcb: ok i'll get than one thanks | 15:45 |
| PythonSnake | for the best security :) | 15:45 |
| claydoh | the antivirus stuff is mostly for thing like mail servers, where the virus can be transferred to others | 15:45 |
| BluesKaj | !virus | PythonSnake | 15:45 |
| ubottu | PythonSnake: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 15:45 |
| lcb | PythonSnake: all antivirus are system ressources consuming, so better avoid... unless any good reason to believe the system is compromized by it | 15:45 |
| PythonSnake | except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba) means that I download something and copy it to windows ? | 15:47 |
| lcb | claydoh: about the scanners being a pain.. indeed. i got this one long time ago and never tested it under linux. now i need it and... not working ;) | 15:47 |
| lcb | PythonSnake: windows would not "contaminate" linux | 15:47 |
| lcb | PythonSnake: better use a good one on the win side | 15:47 |
| claydoh | lcb: from a quick googling it might be possible, tho I haven't looked too deeply | 15:47 |
| lcb | claydoh: i'll try later or another day. thanks a lot :) | 15:48 |
| PythonSnake | ok so no antivirus :) | 15:48 |
| PythonSnake | thanks for the info | 15:48 |

| AlexZion | hi guys ,there is a way to get a "Language Selector" on the Login screen ? | 16:10 |
| lcb | AlexZion: i believe the default login screen comes with a lang selector option, not sure. did you change the default GUI style? | 16:17 |
| AlexZion | lcb , actually I changed the theme but I think there wasn't on the default screen as well , anyway , I'll check it better ... | 16:20 |

| nikitis | Hey i have a scripting issue. | 17:22 |
| nikitis | I'm trying to get kubuntu installing via debootstrapping on an "undisclosed" device that I cannot reveal. | 17:22 |
| nikitis | Problem is. Once I chroot the base system. the script which was on the pre-chrooted environment gets cut off due to chrooting | 17:23 |
| nikitis | Is there a way to make the script survive the chrooting process? | 17:23 |
| === bandi is now known as Guest75824 | ||
| BATi | nikitis: hmm, you are running a script, which does chroot? then split the work between out-of-chroot and in-chroot scripts | 17:30 |
| === disse is now known as disse|off | ||
| nikitis | BATi: how would that work? | 17:40 |
| nikitis | BATi: would the first script be able to send the command to run the other script? | 17:40 |
| Monika | I have accidentally removed a USB stick that was not unmounted. Now it is not recognized anymore, it's not mountable and not even the partition manager can see it, so I can't even format it. Any ideas how to repair it? | 17:41 |
| BATi | nikitis: chroot /newroot /path/to/script | 17:41 |
| BATi | Monika: hmmm, does at least system see it, when you plug it in? you can check it by inserting it and running "dmesg" from konsole | 17:45 |
| nikitis | BATi: so like # LANG=C chroot /mnt/kubuntu /kubuntu-installer.sh ? | 17:45 |
| BATi | nikitis: well, I'm just offering general solution for running something in chroot, never used debootstrap myself, but something along those lines... | 17:47 |
| BATi | nikitis: ...should work.. | 17:48 |
| Monika | I'll try that | 17:52 |
| nikitis | BATi: before my line that kills the script is LANG=C chroot /mnt/kubuntu /bin/bash | 17:55 |
| nikitis | is that because i'm telling it to just go back to bash? | 17:55 |
| nikitis | BATi: or could I just leave out the last part entirely | 17:56 |
| BATi | noaXess: no, you are telling it to change root a run interactive bash in it... | 17:56 |
| BATi | nikitis: ^^ | 17:56 |
| BATi | nikitis: the script which calls chroot will continue after you logout from chrooted bash (ctrl+d, exit...) | 17:58 |
| shane2peru | ok, I click on a text file and it opens in kate, I click another text file and it opens in the same kate and the other one disappears?? can't I see both at the same time? | 18:03 |
| nikitis | BATi: so should i wait to chroot until the end of my script? | 18:03 |
| BATi | shane2peru: you have both files open, the first just hides... enable tab plugin in kate to see them nicely... | 18:05 |
| shane2peru | BATi: thanks | 18:05 |
| BATi | nikitis: depends on what you are trying to achieve... if just chrooting and running some script inside chroot to do some changes in chrooted environment, then it does not matter... if you want to end up in interactive shell inside chroot, it would be wiser | 18:07 |
| === PythonSnake_ is now known as PythonSnake | ||
| BATi | nikitis: eg. lets have a script called setup.sh, in that we copy needed files into chroot, and add script which will run inside called modify_env.sh so I can call "chroot /newroot /modify_env.sh && echo "Chroot modified" | 18:09 |

| hays | i am using the 64 bit 11.01 livecd downloaded yesterday | 18:46 |

| BluesKaj | how do you know? | 18:52 |

| BluesKaj | ok, now try holding the shift key down , when the bios page comes up , and then you should get a grub menu | 18:55 |
| BluesKaj | without the live cd of course | 18:56 |
| hays | nope | 18:56 |
| hays | just sits there cursor blinking | 18:57 |
| BluesKaj | hold the shiftkey for probly about 15-20secs | 18:58 |
| hays | yep i did | 18:58 |
| hays | nothing happened | 18:58 |
| hays | twice | 18:58 |
| BluesKaj | you need to reboot then hold the key | 18:58 |
| hays | I did. Twice. | 18:59 |
| evmo | hello | 18:59 |
| BluesKaj | hays does the live cd boot ok ? | 19:00 |
| hays | yes | 19:00 |
| hays | headed to a terminal right now | 19:01 |
| BluesKaj | ok sudo update-grub | 19:02 |
| hays | facepalm | 19:03 |
| hays | wow | 19:04 |
| hays | both of my hard drives appear to have linux partitions on them | 19:04 |
| hays | that's wonderful | 19:04 |
| BluesKaj | no ntfs ? | 19:05 |
| hays | no | 19:05 |
| hays | also, cfdisk isn't working i have to use fdisk | 19:05 |
| hays | wow | 19:06 |
| hays | i think my data is gone | 19:06 |
| BluesKaj | :( | 19:07 |
| hays | have to say ubuntu aint lookin too good right now heh | 19:08 |
| BluesKaj | hays, how did you partition the space for kubuntu ... auto, guided or manual ? | 19:12 |
| hays | auto only showed my windows partition, so I went to guided and selected the other drive, which was empty | 19:13 |
| hays | I am very thankful I moved all my data to a FreeBSD machine | 19:14 |
| hays | So reinstalling windows won't be too much an ordeal | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | so which hdd is set as default boot in th bios boot sequence? | 19:14 |
| hays | It went CD-ROM then the Windows Drive | 19:15 |
| hays | yep data definitely gone | 19:15 |
| k3njiy | Heya, my gfx-card got attacked by dust puppies and burnt out. now i need a new one. can anybody suggest a good cheap one? | 19:16 |
| hays | nvidia 460's are pretty cheap these days | 19:16 |
| BluesKaj | personally I would burn a gparted live cd and make absolutelu sure that your windows drive is reformatted | 19:16 |
| hays | the SEs are a particularly good bargain if you don't need a lot of performance | 19:16 |
| BluesKaj | is or isn't | 19:16 |

| k3njiy | hays: well since i do play games sometimes i would like one thats not too crappy. had a 8800gtx before. | 19:17 |
| k3njiy | hays: it has to have dual dvi since i have a dual monitor setup | 19:18 |
| hays | I have a GTX 460 (not SE) and its pretty good. There is supposed to be a good 5 series out there too | 19:18 |
| hays | Palit makes a GTX 460 2GB which looks interesting | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | I picked up a 8400gs for 40 bucks US at tigerdirect but beware of their discount plan ..it's a 3rd party scam IMO | 19:19 |
| k3njiy | thx i will check them out. | 19:21 |
| hays | k3njiy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814261077 | 19:22 |
| k3njiy | but you all recomend nvidia instead of ati? | 19:22 |
| hays | that's the 2 GB that looks interesting. I have the 1 GB | 19:22 |
| hays | k3njiy: im out of date with respect to linux and nvidia vs. ati | 19:22 |
| hays | I've heard the ATI drivers have come along way though | 19:23 |
| hays | The Palit one I linked is also nice because its not so freaking LONG I have an MSI also and its like almost twice the length. makes it a pain to fit in the case | 19:24 |
| k3njiy | hays: thx, but since I'm in europe it's suboptimal for me to order from the us... | 19:24 |
| hays | oh well im not saying use newegg just talking about one thing I like about the palit cards | 19:25 |
| k3njiy | honestly never heard of them but they look nice! thx! you're happy with the palit card you have? might go for a less expensiv one, under 100€ since i need food every 2-3 days.... | 19:26 |
| k3njiy | think i will go for the PALIT GTS450 1024MB, looks nice. thanks hays | 19:29 |
| hays | Yeah I've been happy with them. not sure the conversion rate see if you can get the GTX they are better I think | 19:29 |
| BluesKaj | aati drivers till suffer somewhat from develpment in linux ...IMO nvidia is till more up to date | 19:30 |
| BluesKaj | ati | 19:30 |
| hays | oh under $100 yeah thats probably good | 19:30 |
| BluesKaj | dual dvi outs ? | 19:31 |
| hays | im left wondering if I should even try to install linux again after that experience wow | 19:31 |
| k3njiy | dual link dvi, whatever that might be... | 19:31 |
| hays | FreeBSD's boot loader wigged me out though | 19:31 |
| hays | I think you can drive two monitors from one dvi port but ive never done it | 19:32 |
| hays | may need a special cable | 19:32 |
| k3njiy | probably an adaptar of some sorts | 19:32 |

| sinnock | shane: LOL | 21:24 |
| shane2peru | sinnock: it is hidden | 21:24 |
| shane2peru | sinnock: so you won't see it as you type, but it is there. | 21:24 |
| BluesKaj | shane2peru, check in system monitor to see what's eating your cpu | 21:24 |
| sinnock | ... i really am a smart feller | 21:24 |
| sinnock | :l | 21:24 |
| sinnock | YAY! it worked | 21:25 |
| BluesKaj | that's to keep peering eyes from seeing your pw , sinnock | 21:25 |
| shane2peru | BluesKaj: nothing. It doesn't feel like it is lagging because it is busy with 'heavy' work, it acts like it 'wakes up' to open Dolphin, are disks spinning down?? | 21:25 |
| sinnock | aha | 21:25 |
| sinnock | :) | 21:26 |
| shane2peru | BluesKaj: ohh, wait, top shows Xorg as using about 30% cpu | 21:26 |
| shane2peru | whereas the GUI with Alt+F2 shows nothing | 21:26 |
| BluesKaj | shane2peru, ok, hve you installed the recommended drivers in additional drivers ? | 21:26 |
| sinnock | ok flash plugin installed | 21:26 |
| shane2peru | BluesKaj: yep | 21:27 |
| shane2peru | checking now to make sure they are still 'enabled' | 21:27 |
| shane2peru | yep, it is active | 21:27 |
| BluesKaj | sometimes a bug appears with nvidia drivers saying the driver is installed but not being used | 21:28 |
| sinnock | ok i'm testing a game now | 21:29 |
| shane2peru | BluesKaj: let me digress a minute, using another distro, if I had 100 things going on, the desktop was still very responsive click on a window and it popped on the screen very quickly, so that is probably the root of my question | 21:29 |
| mranima | this might silly to ask, but is there a Oxygen theme for Chromium? | 21:29 |
| sinnock | that would be cool | 21:30 |
| mranima | so theres not? | 21:30 |
| BluesKaj | mranima, barely , chromium doesn't integrate much with kde | 21:30 |
| billytwowilly | anybody else getting a ton of random vlc crashes? | 21:30 |
| mranima | ah i see. | 21:30 |
| mranima | thanks for letting me know. | 21:30 |
| shane2peru | BluesKaj: appears to have been Google Desktop indexing my files, stopped the indexing, and now everything is more snappy, and xorg is between 8% and 20% | 21:31 |
| mranima | also i haven't experience any crashes with VLC, whats happening with yours? | 21:31 |
| shane2peru | with amarok bouncing in now and then at 50%?? I'm not evening playing music | 21:31 |
| BluesKaj | mranima, yeah it's sad ...i complained at #chromium and they said they pass along the request ,..it's espcially bad if you run a largescrn monitor | 21:32 |
| mranima | yeah. | 21:33 |
| mranima | but all we can do is wait. | 21:33 |
| BluesKaj | the fonts on the bookmarks toolbar can't be enlarged | 21:33 |
| shane2peru | BluesKaj: ok, I think I got it, seems as though amarok was hung up or something | 21:34 |
| shane2peru | brb | 21:34 |
| sinnock | ok so the game still won't load... :P | 21:34 |
| sinnock | any othe suggestions | 21:34 |
| sinnock | ? | 21:34 |
| BluesKaj | amarok is buggy,unresponsive and I hate the layout | 21:35 |
| gomiboy | sinnock: give us the url of the game | 21:35 |
| BluesKaj | sinnock, what game ? | 21:35 |
| sinnock | kongregate.com everybody edits | 21:36 |
| sinnock | it works on our other kubuntu computer and we changed them both to kubuntu at the same time | 21:37 |
| Soothsayer | What's the difference between GDM and KDM ? | 21:38 |
| mranima | KDM is for KDE and GDM is for gnome :-D | 21:38 |
| gomiboy | sinnock: did you restarted your browser after the reinstall of flash? | 21:38 |
| sinnock | yes but i'll try it again | 21:39 |
| BluesKaj | sinnock,refresh any browsers that were open | 21:39 |
| shane2peru | Soothsayer: GDM is the Gnome boot thing, and KDM is the KDE Boot thing, they can boot anything, used to be GDM wouldn't let you shutdown kde and visa versa | 21:39 |
| sinnock | ok | 21:40 |
| shane2peru | Soothsayer: that is just a basic difference, I'm sure there are more indepth differences between the two. | 21:40 |
| mranima | yeah there is. | 21:40 |
| mranima | but it depends which one you like. | 21:40 |
| === vlt is now known as vlty_x | ||
| mranima | can this post on Posterous http://www.kde.org/applications/internet/blogilo/ | 21:53 |
| Ddpbf | shane2peru: actually KDM is KDE Display Manager not just KDE boot thing :) | 21:56 |
| shane2peru | Ddpbf: ahh, ok, right, I guess it is what runs X, because reseting X is usually done by restarting the K/G DM <-- OOOh, Display Manager. :) | 21:57 |
| Ddpbf | :) | 21:57 |
| shane2peru | that makes sense, I couldn't think of the appropriate terms hence, boot thing. :) | 21:58 |
| Ddpbf | yes DM in GDM/KDM/LXDM is for display manager | 21:59 |
| Ddpbf | I think only Xfce does not have native display manager | 22:00 |
| sinnock | oi... so it didn't work (restarting my browser) i'll work on it more tomarrow :P | 22:00 |
| sinnock | thanks for all the help guys! | 22:00 |
| mranima | http://www.kde.org/applications/internet/kget/ can Kget integrate with Chromium? | 22:01 |
| BluesKaj | sinnock, check your graphics drivers in kmenu>apps>system>additional drivers | 22:02 |
| Ddpbf | mranima: I dont think so | 22:02 |
| Ddpbf | kget can bee integrated with firefox | 22:02 |
| Ddpbf | (and of course with rekonq/konqueror) | 22:03 |
| Ddpbf | but you can see on kde-apps | 22:03 |
| Ddpbf | is there some cool app for chromium integration | 22:04 |
| Ddpbf | I know ther is kwallet support for chromium | 22:04 |
| sinnock | ok sorry i took so long | 22:09 |
| sinnock | so i have no proprietary drivers in use but i have: experamental 3D support for NVIDIA cards | 22:10 |
| sinnock | should i activate that? | 22:10 |
| Ddpbf | what? | 22:11 |
| Ddpbf | if there is no proprietary drivers you allredy use | 22:12 |
| Ddpbf | open source drivers | 22:12 |
| sinnock | ok cool thanks | 22:12 |
| BluesKaj | sinnock, no the recommended driver is what you want | 22:12 |
| sinnock | what do you mean? | 22:13 |
| Ddpbf | sinnock: | 22:13 |
| BluesKaj | is there one listed , sinnock? | 22:13 |
| Ddpbf | sudo lspci -knn | grep -i VGA | 22:13 |
| sinnock | no threres just the experamental 3D thingy | 22:14 |
| Ddpbf | paste output on http://paste.kde.org | 22:14 |
| sinnock | paste what? | 22:15 |
| BluesKaj | ok , sinnock , lspci |grep VGA , in trhe terminal | 22:15 |
| BluesKaj | that will tell you which graphics card you have so we can figure out which driver you need | 22:16 |
| sinnock | ok cool | 22:16 |
| sinnock | ok so i'm typing: ispci lgrep VGA | 22:17 |
| BluesKaj | if it's just one or two lines, paste them here | 22:18 |
| Graf_Westerholt | sinnock, just copy and paste it. | 22:18 |
| Graf_Westerholt | sinnock, it is not l, it is | | 22:18 |
| scott__ | just a quick question, is it possible to set windows programs to always be executable for Wine? | 22:18 |
| sinnock | how do you do that? | 22:18 |
| Graf_Westerholt | Yes, scott__ :) | 22:19 |
| BluesKaj | sinnock, shift , then the \ key | 22:19 |
| scott__ | I know you can go into Properties>Permissions in Kubuntu, but I'd like to be able to download and install Windows programs without that step :D | 22:19 |
| scott__ | I'm careful enough about what I download | 22:19 |
| BluesKaj | scott__, the exe are the only windows apps that will run in wine afaik | 22:21 |
| Graf_Westerholt | scott__, just click the exe, type in wine and check the box to allways start it with wine. | 22:21 |
| scott__ | okay | 22:21 |
| scott__ | thanks Graf_Westerholt | 22:21 |
| Graf_Westerholt | np | 22:21 |
| BluesKaj | or windows even :) | 22:22 |
| scott__ | So Graf_Westerholt, when I download EXEs in the future, will I need to change the permission to make them executable? | 22:24 |
| Graf_Westerholt | You do not need to change the permision. | 22:24 |
| Graf_Westerholt | I have never set executable permission to any exe file. | 22:25 |
| BluesKaj | sco if you did what Graf_Westerholt suggested then when you click on the app it should auto-openin wine | 22:25 |
| BluesKaj | scott__,^ | 22:25 |
| scott__ | I did | 22:25 |
| sinnock | ok Blueskaj i figured it out. it said: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nvidia corperation NVCrushll [GeForce2 MX Integrated Graphics] (rev bl) | 22:26 |
| Ddpbf | it is pretty old gpu | 22:27 |
| Ddpbf | i guess ther is no proprietary drivers for it | 22:27 |
| Ddpbf | actually | 22:29 |
| Ddpbf | you could try with 96.xx legacy | 22:29 |
| sinnock | how do i do that? | 22:29 |
| Ddpbf | nvidia-96 | 22:29 |
| sinnock | ok? | 22:31 |
| Ddpbf | sudo apt-get install nvidia-96 | 22:31 |
| Ddpbf | http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/nvidia-96 | 22:31 |
| sinnock | ok i entered in: sudo apt-get install nvidia-96. and it gave me thisSome packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: nvidia-96 : Depends: | 22:35 |

| sinnock | thats what it gave me | 22:35 |
| Ddpbf | errr | 22:36 |
| Ddpbf | you have xorg-edgers installed? | 22:37 |
| Ddpbf | *enabled | 22:37 |

| sinnock | in kpackagekit? | 22:37 |
| Ddpbf | yes | 22:37 |
| sinnock | ok | 22:37 |
| sinnock | i entered xorg-edgers in the search box and it didn't come up with anything | 22:39 |
| Ddpbf | ok go in konsole | 22:39 |
| Ddpbf | and | 22:39 |
| Ddpbf | cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 22:39 |

| Ddpbf | paste output of this commands on | 22:40 |
| Ddpbf | thise site http://paste.kde.org | 22:40 |

| Ddpbf | let me chack few things | 22:41 |
| sinnock | ok | 22:41 |
| Tm_T | ppa isn't necessarily in sources.list.d/ | 22:41 |
| * BluesKaj wonders if that GeForce2 MX card uses the nouveau driver as default | 22:42 | |
| Ddpbf | lol | 22:43 |
| Ddpbf | they put nvidia-96 from maverick in natty | 22:43 |
| Ddpbf | repos | 22:43 |
| Ddpbf | :) | 22:43 |
| sinnock | ok so what do i do with that? | 22:44 |
| Ddpbf | you could try to get 3d with floss drivers | 22:45 |
| Ddpbf | or | 22:45 |
| Ddpbf | you could download binary drivers | 22:45 |
| Ddpbf | from nvidia site | 22:45 |
| Ddpbf | and install it | 22:45 |
| sinnock | ok do you know what the url is? | 22:46 |
| sinnock | url address | 22:46 |
| * Ddpbf does not have nivdia | 22:46 | |
| sinnock | or is that not the right term? | 22:46 |
| sinnock | ok | 22:46 |
| Ddpbf | http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html | 22:47 |
| Ddpbf | i guess this is it | 22:47 |
| shane2peru | nvidia?? | 22:47 |
| shane2peru | sinnock: you have nvidia? | 22:47 |
| sinnock | ya why? | 22:47 |
| shane2peru | what is the problem? I have nvidia, but I use the drivers in the repos | 22:48 |
| shane2peru | haven't had any issues | 22:48 |
| shane2peru | I'm no expert, but do have experience with those things | 22:48 |
| sinnock | i've been trying to get my computer to run internet games | 22:48 |

| sinnock | no | 22:49 |
| sinnock | i turned them off | 22:49 |
| shane2peru | oh, but not a nvidia problem necessarily then | 22:49 |
| Ddpbf | sinnock: do you have falsh installed? | 22:49 |

| Ddpbf | maybe you dont have enough CPU or RAM for flash games | 22:52 |
| sinnock | thats entirely possible | 22:52 |
| sinnock | this computer was around when there were dinosaurs | 22:52 |
| BluesKaj | sinnock, that's your choice I just wanted to se if the composting was doinfg direct rendering and 3D on the graphics driver | 22:52 |
