dvd::rip, k3b,

I will be right back, after breakfast!

ffmpeg does not do audio encoding by default in feisty ?

I need help getting a sata hard drive to show up

yes, granted i used the guided format, not fdisk. but a full reinstall none the less.

yknott, i 've just installed dvd::rip, but now it's asking for mplayer
do i have to download mplayer?

Do you have some other partition?

i don't want any unnessery programs on my computer

0.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technologies, Inc. JMB361 AHCI/IDE (rev

yes. 2 other hard disks even, 1 partition each

bluebanana, mplayer is the best video player out there!

and the swap partition of course

^that is the type if anyone knows of a kernel mod i need that would be great

I installed thoggen (dvd ripper program) but it's saying that I can't use it if I don't have libdvdcss2 installed.

perhaps mplayer mencoder

purpzey, what else can you do?

But, this harddrive is totally dedicated to linux?

blued's suggestion was to use k3b

but I couldn't find libdvdcss2 in repository
help
k3b is for kubuntu?

yes, the hard drive it is installed on as well as the other two are totally for linux

ah ok,

bluebanana, i just used acidrip a short while ago

You can change the caps on your cube, but personally, I just liked tweaking the animations, for minimize, create, close, menu popups, for everything my desktop does I have an animation.

or yeah acidrip is another

with no problems

libdvdcss2 cannot be hosted on teh repos for legal reaons

frontend that may do what you want

AlphaCluster, where do ubuntu users get libdvdcss2

then you could use automatix2 to get the codecs

yeah
or try wiki.ubuntu.com

uakkeri, do you have the apm packages installed?

yknott, i've been trying to avoid automatix2

and search for it

yknott, don't want to get clutter on my hard drive

so anyone know about SATA?

OSS is working for me, and ALSA isn't. How do I change from OSS to ALSA? Anyone?

purpzey, how do uget that rain stuff on there
and all that

Search for Another Technical Answer?

Its a cause of some frustration, for the past 6 hours or so been going through forums trying to find a method to fix it. decided to try a full reinstall after backing up some data. But that still leaves the system unbootable

does anyone in here understand Wine?

sure what is up

understand to what degree?

rain is under-extras, but personally I find it to be annoying more than anything else .

wine = White with fish. Red with Beef.

Well, Could anyone tell me why it crashes on internet login screens?

purpzey, when does it appear?

for example?

such as Battle.net

If you go to extras, and then to rain, you can set a key-command to activate it.

it turns black and closes

my wine doesnt crash when battle.net runs... what game?

starcraft

How would I be able to copy a directory hierarchy in such a way that it is like cp -u but it also deletes files in the destination that are not in the source directory?

... delete the source directory then cp?

huh?

neither does mine, which version of wine?

latest

i would prefer to avoid that, as this is for a DAP and it would take too long

http://www.mathbin.net/11586
Any ideas?

k thix will probably sound stupid but how do you create a straight line using gimp?

#.#.39

No, that's not the same since -u only overwrites when source is newer than destination.

oh no, i'm not sure, asside from writing a perl script to check and cp based upon the results

hold shift

Ah, sorry Hirvinen.

but, when i just installed the newest version there are no menu buttons

navets, use the pencil tool. click once to define the start position. then hold shift and click the end position

as if it werent there but when i go to synaptic it shows its installed

But I'm afraid that you'll have to do some script-fu for that one.

thanks alot

okay, sounds like fun

But what is it that you are trying to do? There might be tools already for that.

yknott?

So, anyone have any suggestions for my grub problem?

How can fill some space or something in Gimp with transparentsy?

After a recent reboot, grub fails with error 15. The error persists through repeated attempts to reinstall grub with a live cd, as well as completely reinstalling Ubuntu (7.04). Can anyone suggest a cause to the problem or a method of fixing it?

Did you change the emerald theme?

yes

SyckSyn, maybe your partition table is bad!

I try to mount /dev/mapper/via_fgfjbidfe to /media/linwin but it says mount: /dev/mapper/via_fgfjbidfe already mounted or /media/linwin/ busy, any ideas?

Wine isnt wrkin

ALSA ERROR:

What is up with that?

the drive has been reformated though...

You may have changed to one that has weird functionality...Some of them are bizarre...I make sure to pick one I can control easily.

purpzey, ok

does anyone know howto enable mp3 encoding in ffmpeg ?

Does GCC comes with everything needed to make executable C++ programs? (sorry if this is repeated, my connection coughed shortly after I sent it, and don't know if it got through or not or got answered)

SyckSyn, try to check the table with some program, and then resintall Ubuntu

mhmm... k, this would be the third time i've attempted reinstalling Ubuntu though

Wine crashes

I like the slatehorn ones, I think they are easy to use...but if you don't need the "shade" or "stick" function another one might be better, and easier.

yes?

if i go 2 edit themes what happens and chose form the drop down button

any suggestions on programs to check the partition table?

SyckSyn, or remove all partitions, and then start again, like i did!
Partition Magic

start wine in a terminal so you can see any output that it may generate

Acronis True Image

A full format would remove all the partitions, would it not? or does the ubuntu installer do something naughty when you tell it to format the entire drive?

Full format removes all the partitions

No it want do

It shouldn't.

#beryl

There labels

Could someone help me when there done? Please

Zack, have you tried the wine support?

SyckSyn, Just change disk label type in Gnome partitioner to dos, and it will ask you to clear all part. table!

Yes

wine is not 100% reliable with everything.

nothing that i can find helps

THats just how wine is.

can do BlueD

Yes with Counter!

But other people have had success at what im doing
i just dont know what they are doing different

SyckSyn, not now, reboot first]

i havent tried it with starcraft in a long time, but it works with wc3... are you using opengl?

Zack, i would guess that the wine VERSION they are using may be different.

Its a live CD, why reboot it first?
the system is completely unbootable on its own at the moment

O, sorry

does anybody know of directory synchronization software?

purpzey, and beryl doesnt slow down your system?

I thought that and i have a different version then what other people i have seen, they have #.#.37

SyckSyn go to source forge.net

But my computer will not install it for somereason

I've already installed libdvdcss2 but thoggen is saying that I probably still don't have it. help

grub

it will give you a package for grub menu editor

Not as a whole, I mean, the animations are slow sometimes...I'll admit, but, they don't slow my system in total...It will eat some resources, but I don't find it is particularly bad, even on my laptop, which is not a graphical monster.

and installer, plus a sourse code

eduhat, dont think they are in the repos.

allright

because it just moves it to .Trash-username

very good

But it can run standalone?

Passa, use rm ?

Passa, depends on your filemanager.

i use nautilius

PurpZeY, they are all 'stand alone' games now - they use the q3 source code/engine

it doesnt appear in the trash

shift-delete deletes it directly i think

make files

in terminal write, either .config

usually there's a readme. I'd try to find that before you do anything else, just in case the developer did something funky.

Linharex, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_assign_Hostname_to_local_machine_with_dynamic_IP_using_free_DynDNS_service

did u got it ?

!frostwire

frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire

berent, yeah. frostwire..

gh0stid, Yes

Frogzoo, whys that? I think the mobo has 10/100 ethernet built in

berent, gtk-gnutella

100mbs is nothing to a pentium

is it heavyweight . how much ram does it want

Frogzoo, i still should be able to send data pretty quick though right?

10Mbytes/sec isn't that fast

gh0stid, Try (hd1,0)

on what ?

Frogzoo, ok well do they have faster PCI cards on the cheap (and I do mean cheap) as well as cheap scsi raid/jbod pci cards?

gh0stid, root for Windows

would it help you if i gave you the result of fdisk -l?

sudo update-grub

does anyone know why games (enemy territory, which runs perfect on my computer usually) would run terribly (15 fps at some points) on ubuntu?

RabidGoblin, video drivers maybe..

because you set it up wrong

Running beryl?

seriously though, what video card and such?

RabidGoblin, Are they running in wine and / or do you have an ATI card?

Jordan_U, hehe.. ATI is always the problem :-)

What is the proper English name of the graphical Ubuntu 7.04 utility program gui-apt-key 'APT key management'?

Ok.... should I wipe VISTA and install UBUNTU ???

i have an ATI card (radeon x1600pro), just installed the driver off the site

NeoGeo64, if you are asking that question the answer is no

yeah my geforce never gave me problems

you will know when the time is right

don't, install it from synaptic

I did, but I know what I'm doing.

actually
im already on ubuntu
i meant

That's one of those things where you should suddenly notice that you haven't used Vista in several months.

should i wipe UBUNTU and install VISTA

same answer

Just wipe thoroughly.

if you haveto ask the question then clearly no

Whatever you do

RabidGoblin, ATI's linux drivers are horrible, so much so that they are infamously hated for their poor linux support

lol@ PurpZeY

thx for help, but it wont work :/

ahhh alright
purpZeY, whats beryl?

They did ok on my laptop, but I got tired of XGL. So I called dell and threw a fit till they gave me an NVidia card for my laptop

gh0stid, update-grub or (hd1,0) ?

If you don't know what it is, you're not running it.

both of em

I've got Ubuntu 7.04, wine from repo and MS Word 2000. I can print perfectly from native linuxapps but I can't from Word, getting a Dutch printer-not-installed error

Dutch?

purpzey, ok wasn't sure if it would have been a cause of the problem or a solution

yes I'm Dutch and the Ubuntu and Word are also Dutch

so does anybody know if ubuntu would be able to work with JBOD with 3 drives of varying size?

update-grub didnt change nothing except switchingmy ubuntu partiton to hd1.0 but it has to be at 0.0 so .. i dont understand ..

but you don't understand Dutch most likely so I translate it for you. I do see the printers name in Word, but it won't print. What can I do?

anyway to uinstall grub from my two MBR, and then reinstall it ?
grubis messed up

alright, how would i install the ATI driver from synaptic?

gh0stid, Run fixmbr from windows

but then ill have to reinstall ubuntu once again, not really what i look for ;/

Restricted Driver Manager

i am having video driver problem?

gh0stid - in grub console try root (hd0,0) then setup(hd0)

that command is suppose to .... ?

oooh,k well i had that driver installed before, had the same problem, plus i couldn't switch screens with CTRL+ALT+F1

Jordan_U is right, if the driver somehow isn't there look in synaptic for fglrx

set grub for the first hard drive, first partition (if that's whaere your /boot is)

may i explain you my situation in private hosting ? it might be easier ..

Hi, has anyone here built xserver-xgl from source on Feisty?

explain it here

RabidGoblin, Just know that if installed from ati.com it will not update when you get a kernel upgrade, meaning some day you will get an update, restart, and X will fail

hi guys
can we talk about other distros?

anybody some ideas for printing with wine?

!lilo

anyone want to PM me and try and help?

anyone know how to get netbeans5.5 to work with Xgl (without patching xserver-xgl)?

so theres no way to make my game run at a regular speed with this card?

as u wish : FIRST OF ALL : bios setup :: first HD 400gig ( installed ubuntu on it ) second HD 160gig ( windows on it ) and used to be first HD at first try on installing ubuntu it installed GRUB on my 160gig hardrive ( wich is the windows one ) but ive installed ubuntu on my 400gig, once the installation was done it coudlnt boot anymore, saying grub error 22. then i installed it again, and used another dev as grub install path, it would boot
the linux partition but not the windows one ..

Sg_Precog, if you install the same thing in different ways without uninstalling in between it could screw things up

hi everyone

!hi | drowner

Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

gh0stid - does your /boot/grub/menu.lst tell to boot ubuntu as hda1 ?
gh0stid - go into the live cd - terminal - grub - root (hd0,0) - setup (hd0) try that

google is good ... but here for a starter is a cheat sheet http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html

hd(0.1) ( it has to be on hd0.0 instead it doesnt boot )

do you really need to build gcc ?

what's the name of the partitioning utility in Ubuntu?

thank you

i cant do it if im on ubuntu ? i have absolutly to run live cd ?

oh, i thought you cant get to your ubuntu

OK After i Extract a file how do i Run "./configure"? Baby steps

gparted (gui) fdisk (cli)

I have a problem. I just installed ubuntu to an External USB HD, and now windows won't boot normally.

no i can get to my ubuntu, if i switch hd1.0 to hd0.0 but my windows doesnt boot

i find ubuntuguide a handy resource as well but you mileage may vary

Frogzoo Yes. I would like to build GCC native, to get the hang of building the compiler, and then build a cross-compiler for PPC-604 to study optimization source code.

gh0stid - ok then you will have to edit your /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst to tell it the changes

open a terminal, and type ./configure in the directory where the program was extracted to

sorry to ask, but could you please explain me how ?

apt-get source gcc-4.1

just open those in a text editor - it should be self explanatory
and you have to use sudo to edit them

!compile | Zack

Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)

another question. If i want to allocate empty space to a new partition how would i go about finding out what parts are free and which arent?

Frogzoo Thanks, I'll try gcc-4.1

df -h?

Can anyone help me?

hum .. fstab mean nothing to me :/ . im not good enought with the /dev method :/

Ok to all

thejapanesegeek you might have to use system restore on windows

gparted works if you want nice visual kravlin

ill do something easier.. just a sec

Yes. but doesn't it fragment files like windows?

In the terminal it says No such file or directory

i don't want to loose any of the info i have.

fstab tells your mount points... so for / you should change it to /dev/hdb1

every night cron run fsck, essentially it defrags every night, so your cool with that.
run/runs

vim or emacs?

It keeps saying NO SUCH FILE

look at that, maybe it will give you more detail about the situation , its a complete menu.lst fstab and result of fdisk -l

so if i were to run fdisk right now it would defrag my harddrive?

gh0stid look at what

http://www.pastebin.ca/575715

Excuse me, When i typed ./config it showed "No such file or directory"

./Config maybe ?

kravlin, *hint* there is NO defrag on linux *hint*

nope
not ./Config

got it.

Zack were you in the exact same directory

Zack, do ls and see if there is a file called config

is there a way to make dns lookups go faster?

no there isnt a file called config

ok. then how do i create a partition?

gpatred

Hello, I'm new to ubuntu, and am curious if there is a safe way to upgrade to feisty fawn, without having to burn it to an iso image. Also if feisty fawn is stable? anyone help me please

change the timeout in resolv.h and maybe change the nameserver

firefox and ssh is so slow...always waiting for the hostname lookup thru dns

Zack, ok what is there? any directories that look interesting?

kravlin, cfdisk

yes, disable your dns server, and let your isp handle it.

ok ill check that out
how do you disable local dns server?

or gparted
or qtparted

I didn't know it set one up

or about a billion other tools

just did a fresh fiesty install

And the Folder i am trying to install

Zack locate the directory that that file is in, make it yr present working direcory and submit the command again

i get cannot open disk...

buenig sorry leave it to you

Zack, ok do "cd folder you are trying to install"

does anyone know how I can remove the hidden partition on my HDD that is not in fstab from PlacesComputer

I don't care

Teknine, Yes, Feisty fawn is stable, what are you upgrading from?

Bassetts, that is probably not going to happen, it is gnome after all

bruenig, ??

I did the cd and i did ./config while i was in the folder i am trying to install, still no progress

! dns

Sorry, I don't know anything about dns - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

! info dns

Package dns does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas

edgy 6.10

Bassetts, the philosophy of gnome is to not allow such small configurations, they believe it to confuse users I guess

kravlin, all utilities requiring admin priviledges, oh say like creating partitions, need to be run as sudo
!sudo

sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

could you assist me on upgrading?

true.

!install wine

Sorry, I don't know anything about install wine - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

Update Manager

This is not working

sudo apt-get install wine

Zack, do you understand even what cd ls and all of that is doing or are you just copying and pasting

hi, im trying to use rhythmbox music player but whenever i try to import an mp3 file it says error, this file is not an audio stream

I heard it's not efficient doing it that way, it's best host to burn to an image and install? is there really a difference?

I know what its doing, its changing my directory folder
from home, root, ect

Zack, right but when you do ./config you understand that?

Can someone help me out? I want to get applets exactly like these on this desktop.. including the weather: http://gnomelook.org/content/preview.php?preview=3&id=59906&file1=59906-1.jpg&file2=59906-2.jpg&file3=59906-3.jpg&name=Murrina-LiNsta+%28LiNsta+is+Not+Vista+%3B-%29

ok nevermind, it configured my local box and my router as a nameserver before my ISP, so i just put the ISP first and it works quickly now

its to configure the folder for install..

dns, and then you enter your ISPs ip addresses.

illmortal, gdesklets

Teknine, Some people prefer to do a fresh install, I never do though

illmortal, those look like gdesklets

bingo,

yeah! that's what my friend called them... just apt-get install gdesklets?

try...

is that right?

is there any good FTP, and web developing tools for Ubuntu, This is my first time on it :P

I'm trying to resize my / partition. It doesn't like it.

ubuntu

Zack, no, . means current directory so ./config would run a file in the current directory called config

probably because i'm using it.

ok gotcha

Zack, for instance, if you were in home, ./Desktop would be the path to the Desktop

kravlin, you said 'create' partition not 'resize partition'

sorry.

hey sorry to bother you, got a quick question lol .. why each time i reboot i gotta reclick on my "network" utility to reactivate the network card, and THEN finaly got access to internet ? anyway to fix that ?

Zack, so make sure that file is there before you try to do it

kravlin, with that being said, i hope you have your data back

woohoo thanks Quiz!... brb!

i didn't do anything yet holycow'

Teknine, Nautilus ( the default file manager ) supports FTP AFIK, for web development try bluefish

kravlin, right now i'm too drunk to run you through it, i kinda pointed you in a few directions that are correct you will haveto google the rest i'm afraid

from RSCN?

thats cool. maybe possibly someone else has an idea in this channel.

RSCN ?

enjoy the hangover tomorrow.

i don't get hangovers

cheers!

i'm a newbie, and i've just installed mplayer. I have dvd in disc drive. How can I: 1) view DVD (with mouse acting as pointer thingy) 2)rip dvd onto my hard drive for later viewing?

i can drink to infinity basically

runescape cheat net, long time ago

that must be nice.

Ok so now i know that, how would i go about it

nop sorry :/

hehe
its a miracle i can still type

Zack, I don't even know what you are doing

holycow, Doesn't mean you should...

n2diy, *ding* right back at ya

thanks, alot.

I am installing Wine from my Home Folder

Jordan_U, indeed, heh

Zack, why not install it from the repo?

i = - D = DePotedon so .. it mean the ghost of DePotEdon

How can I tell Nautilus _not_ to abbreviate files sizes?

I do i find out my processor speed and how much ram i have?

killall nautilus

lshw

Because they only have the current version and i need the one before it

bluebanana, cat /proc/cpuinfo

does anyone other than Holycow know how to resize a partition? I Need to free space from my / partition.

how do I run .jar files

.jar means java

I have one more question! This link explains how to install the the vista look-a-like panel... but I'm having a hard time with the gconf-editor: http://gnomelook.org/content/show.php/Vista-Panel?content=60077

n2diy, that's a lot of info

Zack, oh, ok so cd into the wine directory and run ./configure

where did you get the .jar file?

Jordan_U, that's great. Thanks!

does anyone other than Holycow know how to resize a partition? I Need to free space from my / partition.

kravlin, its a program called buddi, i downloaded it and it just gave me a .jar

the answer lies with init.d, I believe, check the man page.

Jordan_U, where is my ram info?

you asked for it.

But i did

can't really game on ubuntu without wine?

Then i ./config and it says there is no such thing

how do i find out how much RAM i have?

Teknine, There are some good native games, but I am not a gamer myself

can't really game on ubuntu period...as far as really good games...but we have some nice flight simulators, and a couple good fps's

top

Zack, after you do ./configure, if it doesn't error, you do make and then sudo make install

not as intensive as windows games..but good and addictive

what they lack in graphics tehy make up for in playability

bud it does
but

lot of info there, look at the top lines.

bluebanana, free -m

I only play wow hehe.

speaking of games, time for supertux

teknine, that's not my fault. you have an addiction and you need help

i dont have the window XP CD

have you tried to run the jar file from a console?
does anyone other than Holycow know how to resize a partition? I Need to free space from my / partition.\

i'd like to remove the Grub and replace by the MBR

how can i find out why my wireless disconnects after a good few hours? I has never happened when I am using the system, but when I leave it running over night i come back to it and theres no connection

how do i get gnome to prompt with ssh-askpass after i login?

if you're on gnome then load up gparted

anyone can help me with that ?

kravlin, i just found it "java -jar *.jar"

ccxxpro, if you don't have the windowsxp cd, I don't think you will be able to, certainly not within linux

actually..load it on either..doesn't get any easier

I never said anything to you... and I'm not addicted..

ccxxpro, maybe there is some way to do it within windows but that would be a question for ##windows

yeah... Thats what it is...

teknine, take a joke.

in gpart I am trying to combine 2 ext3 partitions, any help?

bruenig, Actually there is a package in the repos to do it, couldn't figure it out myself when trying to help someone with the same problem

can't I'm tired
lol

boot up using winxp cd into recovery mode and type: fixmbr

`eric-, just said he didn't have the cd

opps, missed that :P

You need to install a java Virtual machine Emulator

the problem is i dont have window XP CD
i just have the Recovery CD
from My Asus Laptop

i have downloaded installjammer, software to make automatic installer like in windows, but in feisty no application available to install it, how do i install it?

kravlin, i have the latest java, it works, i just had no idea how to launch it

ah.

bruenig, If you are better at reading man pages than I the package is ms-sys

ccxxpro, yeah that won't work. I hate when they do that garbage, I actually told them to not do that and to give me a real one then they didn't
luckily I have since formatted the whole thing and am pure linux

haha

Jordan_U, no ubuntu here

ccxxpro, that should be enough to get your system back to factory specs

bios setup :: first HD 400gig ( installed ubuntu on it ) second HD 160gig ( windows on it ) and used to be first HD at first try on installing ubuntu it installed GRUB on my 160gig hardrive ( wich is the windows one ) but ive installed ubuntu on my 400gig, once the installation was done it coudlnt boot anymore, saying grub error 22. then i installed it again, and used another dev (obviously the 400gig ) as grub install path, it would bo
ot the linux partition but not the windows one .. anyone could help ? please.. heres the result of my menu.lst /fstab and fdisk -l http://www.pastebin.ca/575715

how can I combine 2 ext3 partitions with gpart (or any other tool)?

hopefully one day I can go pure Linux, but that day doesn't seem to be here yet

grub error 22
haha

cormarrr, delete the one on the end and resize the other one

i have xp only for dod:s :/

have any chinese?

i need XP for gaming

bruenig, the one on the end is my root partition, sda4. I need to add sda3 to 4

same. :/

ok, can I stop roaming mode and just use one network? There is only an option for WEP in the network settings but in "Connect to another wireless network" it has an option for WPA

ccxxpro, you want to wipe out everything reinstall xp on one partition clean

won't happen, in fact you can't even resize 4, because you can't add space to the beginning of a partition without formatting it

i have install X-chat Gnome, but when i receive DCC file, the file transfers does not move at all

yep

ccxxpro, then install ubuntu and grub afterwards on the remaining partition scheme

cormarrr, you can move the files from 3 to 4 but not the disk space

make sure you have your ports setup correct

if bungie doesn't support linux, i don't support bungie...

grub will automagically be donfigured to find it

bassetts. Im getting a java machine now. ill try and help you figure it out.

that's the mentality you have to have

kravlin, that problem is sorted

oh.

thanks

talon223, i agree 100%

what's the other one you're having?

i need to sort my WPA problem out now

!private | LevinX

Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.

in network manager theres only WEP

bruenig, k, guess I am screwed, thanks anyway!

eric:what do you mean?

ah. so you have internet problems?

kravlin, i want to disable roaming mode so ubuntu automatically uses my wireless

check xchat settings for which port it uses, then make sure your router is forwarding that to your PC's networked static ip hosting address

Did you unmark it in the gui?

i have a big problems

at the minute if it looses connection it does not reconnect kravlin

!question

Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question

kravlin, well in network manager theres only the option for WEP, i use WPA

yes

if Firefox is showing two different plugins for the same media type, could that present a problem?

i want setup 7.04 form the HD,

How can I tell Nautilus _not_ to abbreviate files sizes?

i think the only way is through CD, unless someone else knows any different?

'eric:i can't find what you mean in the menus

i don't have the CDROM device

dual boot problem , pls help

I am not a big help with Wireless networking. My friend was having issues and instead i just installed wicd (An alternative network driver) which worked. I would ask without using my name.... Might get you more responses.

did you look in the gconf-edit options

does anyone other than Holycow know how to resize a partition? I Need to free space from my / partition.

who's having wireless problems?

my thinkpad is T43P,

bassetts

ok
Thanks kravlin

Bassetts, what encryption?

rabidweezle, WPA

your labtop is the new "smart" ones, they wont boot crap-ware

hehe

does anyone other than Holycow know how to resize a partition? I Need to free space from my / partition.

you can't change it to wep bassets?

Hey guys, I just downloaded adesklets through apt-get install, and after installation, I type adesklets again into terminal and it doesn't load up an applet of any sort, can anyone help me?

rabidweezle, i just want roaming mode off so ubuntu will auto connect to my wirless if it looses connection

i do

rabidweezle, not an option

serious man

ooh
at work or something?
ooh

Could you walk me through it?

sure

you can shut off roaming mode Bassetts in the networking

Ports... which should be est to 0.. you may want to change those to something like 2295 (or some random port) and forward that port in your router

are you on desktop or server?

it's a little checkbox there...

rabidweezle, but then it only lets me use WEP

ooh

vista and ubuntu in one HD and diff partition

you at work or something?

any ideal

but odn't set the port if you don't forward that port in your router

what should i do now

Bassetts, lemme look it up on the wiki, there might be a way to do it

desktop or server?

also try cat /proc/meminfo

rabidweezle, i looking there but dont get it

I only know how to do it in terminal

Bassetts, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo?highlight=%28wpa%29
there's a wpa howto

desktop. I want to make my system dual boot windows and ubuntu

i just picked up an old dell optiplex gx50(small form factor) and I am going to run Xubuntu on it as a central network storage/server type thing/machine...any ideas on what open source stuff to run on it?

recovery , 2rd : vista , 3rd : ubuntu

reading that rabidweezle but all I can see is the way i have it setup

Bassetts, did you read that?

how many drives? and how many partitions already on each one?

and grub killed MBR already

which windows?

i wanna my MBR back

and why not use synergy + another computer?

i dont have XP , Vista CD ; just the recovery CD

Bassetts, check your card on http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/

I don't know how.

ok...

but its more because this is my computer...
and i don't own another.
I only have one drive.
its got the swap etc all on it.

Apparently when Network Manager scans for APs, wpa_supplicant will disconnect

ok, you might have a problem then

ouch
that's no good

I need to run windows because gaming is harder on linux. plus its a pain to get multiplayer working.

i would not trust working on a live disk/filesystem im not that good

go download ultimate boot disk for windows ( search on google ) it has a windows recovery consol, once in the recovery console, type fixmbr, and reboot

ok.

wine, have you tryed it?

yeah./

thanx

let me guess, WoW?

its full of bugs.

anytime

nope.

Bassetts, lemme check the forums real quick like

guys i have jdk-6u1-linux-amd64.bin file and i dont know how to install it?

oh, did you try updating the wine to 9.031 or something like that?

counterstrike Source, Total Annihilation

Bassetts, you using fesity?

nope.

feisty*

there is a newer version, i just set it up and it works fine
but im not a gamer

rabidweezle, yes

how um... set up is your machine?

bassetts. Try out this manager instead. its located at http://wicd.sourceforge.net/pages/about.php

like can you reinstall and reconfigur?

its about a week in bobsomebody. I could set up and reconfigure but its a pain in the ass and could take several weeks.

*reconfigure

meh. not a week in. about a month in.
sorry

Bassetts, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318539

ok, reinstall it, and when you get to partition, make one 1/2 the total size, one 256/512 (swap), and a second partition

yeah. i was trying to avoid that.
its a pain in the ass.

it would be the safest way

always.

otherwise you could fork your disk :P

Bassetts, pay close attention to the "stumbling blocks" section

yep. that also would be a pain in the ass.

just seen that rabidweezle

hey, whats a good PHP designer for nix?

vim
:P

lol

true dat holmes

gtfo

old school

lol
right
i could nano away on some php yo

rabidweezle, how do i stop network manager?

vim works fine for me :/

if i were to get another disk could you do it?

yeah
i could walk you through it

umm, sudo ps x, then kill -9 the pid

well for the sake of being efficient..i'd at least use emacs or gedit

how do i use my modem, i use aplay -l command and it was detected, but hardware information shows no modem available

i had 2 displays working with TwinView in Edgy, and now i can't get them to work together in Feisty... the strange part is they don't even work together in the BIOS or while booting, whereas before i always had clones until the login screen... i tried my old xorg.conf with no luck
any ideas?

Bassetts, that's just a guess, I donno

"Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

ok... The only problem? I have a pata disk that i could use but the whole secure linux web hosting system is running on a sata hard drive.

i just went through a mess with mine

I just disabled security...

linux create a thumbnail for each picture in a directory? for example ._pic.jpg it's the thumbnail for pic.jpg?

im usefull tonight

i set up smbmount or whatever to mount a shared folder in my vmware windows

can anyone help me remove grub from a hard drive?

and it mounts fine using root
but i added a few things in my fstab line so i could edit it using my regular user and i get an error

so you can mount it but it wont stay?
hm
what error?

no it stays fine i just have to use root to do everything to it and that's a pain ... here i will show you the part of the fstab line i am talking about

screw this. Why don't i just install the windows on the IDE Drive and find out how to access it from the GRUB Bootloader.

and then partition the sata
and then install nix and win on the sata

you have dual displays?

and mount the rest as storage
yeah, integrated VIA + Radeon PCI

Tom47, you cannot resize the front of a partition from what I know, if this says that, read through it and report back far too long for me, then that is the first in any filesystem that I have heard of it

oh, yeah ati can be a pain

I already have a Ubuntu install on this hard drive. Why would i drop the integrity of that.,,

why on earth would MIT choose such a horrible format for their open course ware :-/

My WoW installer thinks I have insufficient CPU speed even though im running a 2 GHZ CPU - how can I fix this

well if you have windows running from the sata you will have better seek times in games
the IDE will slow you down

it is free?

is it possible that the nVidia driver supplied by Envy for Edgy is better than the one provided by Feisty?

but if you have nix on the IDE, you could repartition the sata right

yea MIT has video lectures of a bunch of their courses available online
check it out, its awesome.. ocw.mit.edu
that is, if you can manage to play real media format :-/

I want to get a usb bluetooth adapter for my laptop, but I'm looking for one that is well supported in Linux. Anyone have any reccomendations and/or a link to somewhere that has a list of one's that are well supported?

I didn't notice it six months ago before i had this Sata drive bobsomebody. I'm sure it's not gonna make that much of a difference.

! info PWND

Package pwnd does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas

lol, only thing thats confusing me is the NVidia extra driver thing.

Hi, newbie to Ubuntu and IRC for that matter

lol thats rite, ubuntu doesnt need to try to pwn

lol

seriously, but i'm not a complete moron

man man

Yup

yeah, I tried the "option" when booting, nothing happened

No, I used info
