[06:06] <ricardo> so far i have followed this>
[06:06] <Atharva> Have you enabled it ?
[06:06] <ricardo> yeap it is enabled
[06:07] <ricardo> but that one iw working fine, what i am trying to get is the intel graphics one
[06:07] <ricardo> not the wireless
[06:07] <ricardo> http://intellinuxgraphics.org/build.html
[06:07] <ricardo> that is what i have tried to follow
[06:08] <ricardo> when i try to do my ./autogen.sh for my card it says: dri2proto required.
[06:08] <Atharva> Tell me one thing what do you want on graphics....
[06:08] <ricardo> i need to get my HDMI port working fine, i cannot get the audio tru hdmi or the appropiate screen resolution once connected to my TV
[06:10] <ricardo> the driver description says i required the driver installed for hdmi audio/video working properly, but apparently i need tocompile since i cannot fine an specific package for ubuntu :(
[06:12] <ricardo> and also i want to know if installing the driver i can get HD playback to work properlysince i get laggy playback only :(
[06:13] <ricardo> (in win7 it works fine. but in ubuntu not working fine :(
[06:13] <Atharva> Actually I have never tried this before...
[06:13] <Atharva> sry cant help ....
[06:14] <ricardo> dont worry man
[07:13] <txadm> May I ask for some help setting up ubuntu as an http/ftp server?
[07:15] <urlin2u> txadm, you can ask that at #ubuntu more people on there. :D
[07:15] <txadm> Ah, as I asked on here someone replied on #ubuntu, thank you so much! :)
[10:50] <henry_> Can anybody help me?  i have just installed the latest Ubuntu and want to use my adaptec aha 2940 scsi card.  How do I do this?
[10:57] <haqking> henry_: hi, is that an old 50 pin scsi ?
[10:59] <henry_> Yes .  Not sure of the date but adaptec do provide Vista drivers.  I am trying to use my Epson gt30000 scanner which is vital to me and I would prefer not to have to use windows in a virtual machine.
[11:01] <haqking> yes i see, i think there is a few issues with it but a modprobe shoulod yield some results, wait one sec just having a quick look around
[11:02] <henry_> Oh by the way .... thanks for being here!
[11:03] <haqking> no problem ;-)
[11:04] <haqking> i am pretty sure you will need to custom build your kernel with that module see here http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man4/ahc.4.html
[11:04] <haqking> it is for old version of ubunut but i think the aicxxx is being replaced
[11:05] <haqking> sorry but dont think i can be of much more help than that, someone with direct experience of that card i thinkn would need to chime in, have you posted on the forum ?
[11:09] <Sidewinder1> henry_, Someone here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=332   may be able to give specific instructions for that card. It'll take longer, but you'll get more exposure, over time.
[11:11] <henry_> Thanks for the link.  Had a look and that is all way beyond my abilities!
[11:11] <haqking> best bet it is to post in the forum with link above ^ and see if anyone else has experience with that card
[11:11] <haqking> best of luck
[11:12] <Sidewinder1> henry_, You could do a search for that card; in lieu of that, just start a new thread.
[11:13] <henry_> Thanks both I will wander over to the forum and see what can be done.  All a shame as I am desperate to become Microsoft free and it is things like this that stop me!
[11:14] <Sidewinder1> henry_, It can be frustrating at times, but if you patiently persevere, you'll be rewarded, I'm sure. :-)
[11:17] <haqking> even if you used MS in a virtual machine, it still needs to be seen in your Host to be virtualised in the guest
[11:21] <henry_> Oh blow! another good Idea squashed
[11:24] <haqking> may a i suggest a scsi to USB adapter instead http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/U2SCX.html
[11:24] <haqking> any need to use your SCSI card per se, its only for the scanner right ?
[11:31] <henry_> Yes just for the scanner.  Been thinking about an adapter they seem expensive at about £60 second hand on ebay especially when I have a card sitting in the machine.  Do these adapters all work OK with Ubuntu?
[11:40] <haqking> just looking around for a cheaper model
[11:40] <haqking> seems cheap in the USA, discontinued alot over here in the UK
[11:42] <haqking> yeah if you cant help in the forum then a adapter might be your only option im afraid
[11:42] <haqking> *get help
[12:01] <henry_> I think I will watch this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1812231&highlight=adaptec+2940)....seems I am not the only one.  The other thing about the adapters is they appear to be slow at 480 Mbi v 1280 Mbit for the scsi
[12:07] <haqking> best of luck ;-)
[12:07] <haqking> sorry couldnt be of more help on that one
[13:01] <Kent> Hey, anyone know of a way that I can automatically bring a particular nautilus window to the front?
[13:01] <Kent> Sometimes I have so many windows open that I suddenly want to get back to my nautilus window that's set up how I like it
[13:02] <Kent> Can't find a keyboard shortcut for it
[13:07] <Kent> hm
[13:07] <Kent> hever mind
[13:07] <Kent> I found something
[13:11] <M0hi> particular window?
[14:15] <vohe> hello, can i get information about "usable" programs here?
[14:17] <vohe> i look for a calendar program, that can use google-calendar (online, not downloaded ics) AND that is able to print in different ways. (e.g. filofax pages)
[14:18] <holstein> vohe: i have often wished google would just do that :/
[14:20] <vohe> holstein: I wish that too. Google could do that, but only in english locals i need that in german! and...
[14:21] <vohe> under windows i found "sunbird" that can do some "extra" print formats. There i have to use the add on fgprinters.
[14:21] <holstein> i cant imagine sunbird *not* supporting Gcal
[14:21] <holstein> http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/
[14:21] <vohe> but sunbird is out of development and fgprinters only work with old versions...
[14:21] <holstein> oh... hehe :)
[14:21] <vohe> so... what?
[14:22] <holstein> you already tried it...
[14:22] <vohe> is there any program under ubuntu that can print more than a "month" preview of the calendar files?
[14:23] <holstein> is lightning dead? http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ ?
[14:23] <vohe> i tried, evolution, thunderbird...
[14:23] <holstein> vohe: i mean, its linux, and its all open, so all of them do whatever you want to make them do... in theory
[14:23] <vohe> holstein: yes, in case of print lists - it is dead!
[14:23] <holstein> as for in practice, we would just have to try them, and see
[14:57] <J4r3d> Hello
[14:58] <J4r3d> Is anyone here?
[14:58] <holstein> sure
[14:58] <holstein> we're all here :)
[14:58] <holstein> J4r3d: if you would, take a moment and review the /topic
[14:59] <holstein> just type /topic in whenever you join an official support channel
[14:59] <holstein> some of them are more strict than others
[14:59] <J4r3d> Ah ok. Thank you I was just about to ask how to do that. :)
[14:59] <holstein> depending on the chat client you are using, you can sometimes see it easier than other times
[15:00] <holstein> i forget what that freenode webchat looks like...
[15:01] <J4r3d> I am getting an error. Insufficient arguments for command. I apologize this is my first venture into any sort of chat.
[15:02] <holstein> J4r3d: no worries
[15:02] <holstein> how did you get here?
[15:02] <holstein> is there a webpage?
[15:02] <holstein> or just searching through freenode?
[15:03] <J4r3d> Yes. I was looking for support on Ubuntu and was directed to this channel. I tried the ubuntu-beginners-team channel but no one was answering.
[15:03] <holstein> J4r3d: but, are you in the web browser?
[15:03] <holstein> at http://webchat.freenode.net/ ??
[15:04] <J4r3d> Yes. I clicked the link for the channel and thus I ended up here
[15:05] <holstein> J4r3d: thats actually good to know
[15:05] <holstein> you dont get the topic that way in the webchat...
[15:05]  * holstein_test is testing
[15:06] <J4r3d> Ah. I was also looking at downloading xchat to use as my client however I was having trouble figuring out how to download and install it with Ubuntu.
[15:06] <holstein> xchat is nice
[15:06] <holstein> J4r3d: you can do that in many ways
[15:06] <holstein> i would suggest trying the software center if you have that
[15:07] <J4r3d> Oh! I forgot about that. Brb. And thank you. :)
[15:07] <holstein> sure
[15:08] <haqking> yes xchat is in software centre or with sudo apt-get install xchat from terminal
[15:09] <J4r3d> Downloading now. Pardon the silly question but what is sudo?
[15:09] <haqking> see here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[15:10] <holstein> !sudo | J4r3d
[15:10] <ubot2`> J4r3d: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[15:10] <haqking> it is for temporary elevating to admin privelege and is preferred method in ubuntu as the root account is disabled by default
[15:12] <J4r3d> Ok. Im not sure I understand but I just finished the download of xchat so Im going to boot that up and be back in just a sec.
[15:13] <haqking> basically when you want to do something of an admin anture to your system you tell it you have the privelege to do to by prefixing the command with sudo
[15:13] <haqking> it will then ask for your password to confirm you really do and checks your account has sudo privelege
[15:13] <haqking> then carries it out
[15:13] <holstein> J4r3d will be back from xchat soon :)
[15:13] <haqking> *admin nature
[15:15] <haqking> welcome back j43rd
[15:16] <haqking> j4r3d even ;-)
[15:16] <j4r3d> Thank you :)
[15:17] <j4r3d> Now I understand how the /topic command works. What did you mean by the root account being disabled by default? Perhaps I should do a bit more reading to understand the technical details beforehand?
[15:18] <holstein> j4r3d: its not working in the webchat though
[15:18] <holstein>  /topic
[15:18] <holstein> which is good to know... i usually suggest that, and i didnt know it didnt work the same there
[15:20] <j4r3d> Ah ok. I put in the command and read up on it. Thank you :).
[15:21] <haqking> root is the superuser in linux, in Ubuntu it is disabled and it is preferred to carry out superuser tasks using sudo
[15:22] <haqking> which is like being root for a short period without logging in as root and without putting your system in too much danger of messing it up as root
[15:22] <j4r3d> Ah ok. That makes sense. Thanks
[15:22] <haqking> read the link posted earlier at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[15:25] <Sidewinder1> j4r3d, Two of my favorite links for learning about ubuntu are: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php And: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 Enjoy! :-)
[15:26] <holstein> so, apparently, /topic just doenst work from the webchat... the topic is at the top of the page all the time though
[15:26] <j4r3d> I peered at it. Its open on my browser for me to look at later. :) I did have a question though. I decided I wanted to try out Ubuntu before completely getting rid of Windows. So I downloaded and installed it with the Wubi installer. Now that Ive play with it a little bit, Id like to use it to completely replace Windows but Im not sure how to go about that. Do I uninstall Ubuntu first and then reinstall with the task of eradicating Windows while i r
[15:26] <j4r3d> einstall? Or is there a way to get rid of Windows and simply boot from Ubuntu?
[15:27] <j4r3d> Thanks Sidewinder1 :) Ill be sure to take a look at those.
[15:27] <Sidewinder1> j4r3d, Please see my links above, especially the psychocats one.
[15:28] <holstein> you can to whatever really... no reason to keep that wubi install in place though
[15:28] <holstein> j4r3d: are you going to wipe windows?
[15:28] <j4r3d> I plan on it yes.
[15:28] <holstein> if you want to dual boot, i would unistall wubi, then install ubuntu
[15:28] <holstein> if you are going to wipe the drive, do whatever you want
[15:29] <holstein> nothing about that wubi will prevent that install from happening
[15:30] <j4r3d> Hmmm. Ok.
[15:30] <Sidewinder1> j4r3d, You might want to install and dual boot for a while until you're completely comfortable with ubuntu. You can always remove Win at a later date.
[15:30] <holstein> yeah, and the only reason i say remove the wubi first is just to clear up the hard drive space, and simplify the process a bit
[15:30] <holstein> you dont *have* to do that first
[15:31] <holstein> if i were you, i would use the wubi for a few more weeks, then install 11.10 :)
[15:31] <Sidewinder1> j4r3d, One important thing if you need to shrink an NTFS/fat32 partition; make sure to defragment it at least twice prior to shrinking.
[15:35] <j4r3d> I think thats actually good advise. I just started using Ubuntu and I think I may have gotten ahead of myself. I will work on becomimg familiar with it before I kill Windows.
[15:36] <holstein> j4r3d: also, break that wubi :)
[15:36] <holstein> before installing, do some things in there
[15:36] <holstein> since you are going to wipe the drive anyways... its better to learn on it
[15:37]  * Sidewinder1 Is not a big fan of WUBI; but I guess it serves it's purpose of allowing win. folks to try ubuntu, within the win os.
[15:37] <holstein> yeah... it helped me transition
[15:39] <Sidewinder1> I never used it (wubi), went straight to dual-boot. But I've seen many questions in #u where wubi is the problem. I think the mistake is that folks try to use it on a long term basis.
[15:40] <holstein> yup.. it was breaking my LAN on that machine somehow... i forget now
[15:45] <j4r3d> I think Ill use Wubi for a couple weeks and then setup a dual boot for windows.
[15:47] <Sidewinder1> Sounds like a plan. :D
[17:35] <spartan-11510> Hi
[17:36] <Sidewinder1> Good Afternoon.
[17:37] <spartan-11510> I need some help for packaging, i'm sorry if my question hav not place here
[17:38] <spartan-11510> I search the minimal option in makefile
[17:39] <Sidewinder1> Are you familiar with this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware?highlight=%28%28CompilingEasyHowTo%29%29
[17:40] <spartan-11510> No i read that and if i've any question i ask you. Thank you very much
[17:41] <Sidewinder1> spartan-11510, I ask only because I'm not real familiar with compiling software. Also if compiling is your goal, you might be better off asking in #ubuntu, rather than a beginners channel.
[17:42] <Sidewinder1> Hope it helped. :-)
[17:42] <spartan-11510> Ok thank you very much ;)
[17:42] <Sidewinder1> You're welcome.
[18:29] <tdn> How do I change system language (menus and the like) to Danish?
[18:32] <urlin2u> tdn, your on which release, in Natty look at language support I believe.
[18:36] <tdn> urlin2u, lucid
[18:36] <tdn> urlin2u, LTS
[18:36] <tdn> urlin2u, I would really like to do it from command line if possible. And for all users.
[18:38] <urlin2u> I haven't used lucid in a long time, and am not really sure to be honest, the #ubuntu channel is a bit busier you might try there as well
[18:39] <tdn> Ok
