[01:48] <sreekar> hello
[01:51] <sreekar> anyoine has a solution as how to install the broadcom drivers in ubuntu 11.04/
[01:56] <charlie-tca> !broadcom
[03:47] <Guest70950> hello
[03:47] <Guest70950> looking for help please
[03:52] <ball> Guest70950: Don't ask to ask, just ask.
[06:23] <Guest89512> how do i get higher resolutions?
[06:32] <madnick> Guest89512: do you have the proper drivers?
[06:32] <Guest89512> I doudt it, how do I check...tried installing from nvidia but not sure how to make it work what to do
[06:33] <madnick> Is it a new installation?
[06:33] <madnick> You could check restricted drivers
[06:33] <madnick> Go to the menu -> system -> additional drivers
[06:34] <Guest89512> where is menu? lol
[06:34] <madnick> Is it a command line install?
[06:34] <Guest89512> got it
[06:34] <madnick> oh
[06:35] <Guest89512> no its not command line
[06:35] <Guest89512> im just prety new
[06:35] <madnick> :)
[06:36] <Guest89512> once i get to aditional drivers then what?
[06:36] <madnick> Check if there are any from nvidia there
[06:36] <madnick> I guess they want you to enter your root passw
[06:37] <Guest89512> it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system?
[06:38] <madnick> Hm, okay
[06:38] <madnick> Well, you said you had downloaded the drivers?
[06:38] <Guest89512> I may have
[06:38] <madnick> Okay, i guess its a sh script?
[06:38] <Guest89512> I went to nvidia and download what i thought were the drivers
[06:39] <madnick> okay
[06:39] <Guest89512> saved em to cmp but dont know how to use them
[06:39] <madnick> open a terminal
[06:39] <madnick> and cd to the location where the drivers was downloaded
[06:39] <madnick> probably cd ~/Downloads
[06:39] <Guest89512> I used to code a littel in HS but Im totaly new to this terinal thing
[06:40] <madnick> :)
[06:40] <Guest89512> I'm glad you're happy, becuase seems like not too many ppl want to help
[06:41] <Guest89512> what does cd meen?
[06:41] <madnick> change directory
[06:42] <madnick> when you are in downloads (if the drivers are located there)
[06:42] <madnick> type: chmod +x NV then press TAB to get the fullname
[06:42] <madnick> press enter
[06:43] <Guest89512> ok is this in terminal or gui
[06:43] <madnick> terminal
[06:44] <madnick> you could go it with gui
[06:44] <Guest89512> terminal says there is no such file or directory that is downloads or download
[06:44] <madnick> but its just faster to do it in the terminal
[06:44] <Guest89512> Im in gui file downloads
[06:44] <madnick> Guest89512: did you type ~/Downloads?
[06:44] <Guest89512> and i have this file
[06:44] <Guest89512> NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run
[06:44] <madnick> ok
[06:44] <madnick> right click it
[06:44] <madnick> Properties
[06:45] <Guest89512> ok
[06:45] <madnick> set it to executable in permissions i guess
[06:45] <madnick> wait
[06:45] <madnick> Guest89512: do this
[06:46] <madnick> right click in the folder
[06:46] <madnick> "open terminal"
[06:46] <madnick> that'll open a terminal in that folder
[06:46] <madnick> then type chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run
[06:46] <Guest89512> my syntax was off before by the way...had it open in original terminal
[06:46] <madnick> oh
[06:47] <madnick> after you did that
[06:47] <madnick> you can install the drivers by typing
[06:47] <madnick> ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run
[06:48] <Guest89512> hmmm maybe I messed something up
[06:48] <madnick> what happened?
[06:49] <Guest89512> chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run
[06:49] <madnick> thats correct
[06:49] <Guest89512> To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
[06:49] <Guest89512> See "man sudo_root" for details.
[06:49] <Guest89512> jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ chmod +x
[06:49] <Guest89512> chmod: missing operand after `+x'
[06:49] <Guest89512> Try `chmod --help' for more information.
[06:49] <Guest89512> jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run
[06:49] <Guest89512> jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.19.run
[06:49] <Guest89512> bash: ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.19.run: No such file or directory
[06:49] <Guest89512> jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ ^C
[06:49] <madnick> ok
[06:49] <Guest89512> jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$
[06:49] <madnick> you typed the wrong name
[06:49] <madnick> chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run
[06:50] <madnick> wait
[06:50] <madnick> Guest89512: to get the right name
[06:50] <madnick> You can type NV then press tab
[06:50] <madnick> and the fullname will pop up
[06:50] <madnick> also type
[06:51] <madnick> sudo ./NV and tab
[06:51] <madnick> after that
[06:51] <Guest89512> I feel dumb
[06:51] <madnick> no its alot to take in
[06:51] <madnick> This is just a one time thing
[06:51] <madnick> :)
[06:51] <Guest89512> so under downloads in terminal
[06:51] <Guest89512> type what?
[06:52] <madnick> ok
[06:52] <madnick> type chmod +x NV then press tab and then enter
[06:52] <Guest89512> ok
[06:52] <madnick> ok
[06:52] <madnick> now type
[06:52] <madnick> sudo ./NV then tab
[06:52] <madnick> and enter
[06:53] <Guest89512> ok
[06:53] <madnick> is it installing?
[06:53] <Wizard> hi!
[06:53] <madnick> hi
[06:53] <Guest89512> To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
[06:53] <Guest89512> See "man sudo_root" for details.

[06:53] <madnick> ok
[06:53] <Guest89512> shit
[06:53] <Guest89512> it says I some warning
[06:54] <madnick> The problem is
[06:54] <madnick> you are typing chmod +x then enter
[06:54] <madnick> its supposed to be on the same line
[06:54] <madnick> and you forgot sudo
[06:54] <Wizard> what's going on?
[06:54] <madnick> let me paste for you
[06:54] <madnick> exactly what to type
[06:54] <Guest89512> FNG here
[06:55] <madnick> I am a bit concerned that it says that the nvidia file does not exist
[06:55] <madnick> Guest89512: if you type ls
[06:56] <madnick> http://paste.ubuntu.com
[06:56] <madnick> type ls and copy the output to that website
[06:57] <Guest89512> ok
[06:57] <madnick> http://paste.ubuntu.com/648016/
[06:57] <madnick> That is all you should have to do btw
[06:58] <madnick> Perhaps there may be a problem with X running, but I dont think it will, but long ago since i did this
[06:58] <Guest89512> it says i dont have an nvidia gpu supported by 275
[06:58] <Guest89512> somehting somtehing
[06:59] <madnick> Sure you downloaded the correct drivers?
[06:59] <Guest89512> no
[06:59] <madnick> okay
[06:59] <madnick> Do you know what your card is called?
[06:59] <madnick> dpkg --list | grep -i nvidia
[07:00] <Guest89512> nvidia 240M
[07:00] <madnick> okay
[07:00] <madnick> is your computer 64 or 32bit?
[07:01] <Guest89512> 64
[07:01] <madnick> http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/275.19/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run&lang=us&type=GeForce

[07:02] <madnick> Yes, i noticed
[07:03] <madnick> but since you got virtualbox
[07:03] <madnick> Just click on "Devices" in the menu, and "install guest additions"
[07:03] <madnick> and you will be fine
[07:03] <madnick> No need to get "real drivers"
[07:03] <madnick> since its not using your graphics card in that way
[07:04] <Guest89512> ok im in install guest additions now what lols...I'd spend time looking but i gotta go to work tommorow

[07:04] <madnick> to any resolution
[07:04] <madnick> and fullscreen
[07:05] <Guest89512> I opened up guest additions and there are like 10 files
[07:06] <Guest89512> and they are all locked
[07:06] <madnick> Well, there is a file called something "Linux" and 64 bits right?

[07:15] <k_sze> Does anybody know how to configure samba in Natty so it can be accessed from a Mac?
[07:15] <k_sze> I've tried to configure samba using gadmin-samba
[07:16] <madnick> http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/how-do-i-connect-a-mac-os-x-machine-to-a-samba-share/173
[07:17] <k_sze> But Mac OS X just tells me 'Connection failed' and 'There was an error connecting to the server "192.168.0.11". Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.'
[07:22] <k_sze> madnick: same result
[07:24] <Wizard> is there any avachi gui tool?
[07:43] <Wizard> seems no :D
[07:44] <Wizard> k_sze, have you tried setting up proper configurations by hand?
[07:47] <MJBrune> how can I tell the mixer to use the speakers not the headphones?
[08:29] <well_laid_lawn> !info pavucontrol
[08:47] <MJBrune> well_laid_lawn: doesn't do much
[08:47] <MJBrune> well_laid_lawn: it still doesn't let me pick the output
[10:13] <k_sze> The File Manager in Xubuntu doesn't have a search function. o.O
[10:15] <madnick> catfish
[10:17] <k_sze> hmm

[14:09] <Wizard> ok, i'm in CEST - fyi
[14:58] <artvir> hello
[14:58] <artvir> one question: does the xubuntu 11.04 cd iso contain openoffice?
[14:59] <charlie-tca> no
[14:59] <charlie-tca> Xubuntu used gnumeric and abiword instead of the openoffice/libreoffice suite
[15:00] <artvir> anything powerpoint-like?
[15:00] <charlie-tca> not by default, no
[15:01] <charlie-tca> you can install openoffice if you want it,
[15:01] <charlie-tca> it is in the repositories
[15:09] <artvir> ok... thank you
[15:30] <GridCube> artvir: there is also a powerpoint viewer on the repositories, no need to install the whole open office for it
[18:05] <cpx> hi there
[18:59] <Josesordo> hello
[19:02] <TheSheep> !hi | Josesordo
[19:32] <Baltazaar> when I resize some application windows, like the xfce-terminal, my screen gets big black square in the top left corner, like this: http://www.mentalhub.com/snaps/after.png
[19:38] <Baltazaar> Just found out it is a known bug with the Nvidia drivers
[19:40] <charlie-tca> so, it would really be better not to ask in multiple channels at one time
[20:23] <xubuntu043> is there a keyboard shortcut to change screen resolution ?
[20:30] <installingXUbunt> what does it mean when linux cant enumerate USB port
[20:32] <installingXUbunt> unable to enumerate USB device Port 5
[20:49] <charlie-tca> Hello, GridCube
[20:49] <GridCube> hello charlie-tca :)
[21:04] <GridCube> i think i will upgrade my system to 11.04
[21:04] <GridCube> but i really don't want to reconfigure things again :/
[21:05] <GridCube> and i don't want to use firefox 4/5/6
[21:06] <Sysi> why? :o
[21:06] <Sysi> FF 3.6 is slooowww
[21:06] <GridCube> i disagree
[21:07] <Sysi> have you compared it to anything besides IE 8?
[21:07] <GridCube> lol
[21:07] <GridCube> I havent used IE since like 00
[21:08] <Sysi> (IE 9 is actually pretty good)
[21:10] <charlie-tca> ff 4 seemed fine to me. This 6.0 in Oneiric is not quite right, but I can't put a finger on why
[21:17] <GridCube> (motion to move this to offtopic)
