<0> it needs that tool wlanconfig
<1> !mplayer
<2> mplayer is, like, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto For compiling, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31061
<3> arcskon: Where is this avidemux available, and what's it do?
<4> APT-Get error at http://pastebin.com/534478
<5> tonyyarusso: never used it....it's a video editor
<6> duckdown: have you tried iwconfig instead?
<3> arcskon: Ah. Doesn't seem to be in the repos.
<5> sudo apt-get install avidemux-2.1.0
<5> use search ??
<3> arcskon: Yeah.
<7> My screen has gone 640x480 and there is no option to change it back to 1025x758. Can anyone help?
<8> re
<7> I am using kde btw
<9> hello
<10> m0wax, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg



<4> Apt=get result after PINGing repo http://pastebin.com/534484
<9> does anyone know how to setup ubuntu for windows games?
<3> arcskon: Do you have apt-get policy information for it?
<5> tonyyarusso: what..?
<3> PhysicsGeek: Look into cedega, probably.
<9> cededa?
<9> *cedega?
<3> arcskon: Sorry, that should be 'apt-cache policy'.
<10> !cedega
<2> somebody said cedega was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Cedega and for a list of working games see http://www.transgaming.org/gamesdb or #cedega or http://www.frankscorner.org/
<5> tonyyarusso: what is that
<9> another distro?
<11> time to have a new *buntu
<12> !desktoprecord
<2> Things to try are Istanbul, vnc2swf, wink (http://www.debugmode.com/wink/), Byzanz, and another that eludes me at the moment.
<11> one at day
<3> arcskon: apt-cache policy packagename will tell you what repo and section it's available in. So if it's available with any of the one you have, you could tell me where. If not, then it's a case for Google.
<3> PhysicsGeek: No, a program.
<9> thanks
<5> tonyyarusso: doesn't say...
<13> im running dapper and I'm not seeing a way to "Safely Remove" my USB flash drive...is that unnessary?
<5> chris12349: does it say somewhere to unmount it ?
<13> arcskon: Nope I don't see it...kinda wierd
<4> claes (and anyone else): see http://pastebin.com/534484 and http://pastebin.com/534478 for apt-get errors
<13> arcskon: I'm a little nervous about just removing it
<5> chris12349: then just do it by cmd line: umount /media/usbdisk or whatever it is
<3> arcskon: Useful when people come in here with things like "I can't seem to install such and such". So you throw in a quick search, and come back and tell them they need to enable universe.
<13> arcskon: yep I know that one, I was wondering if they fixed it so you don't need to "safely" dismount
<3> chris12349: I think unmount is in the right-click context menu, isn't it?
<5> tonyyarusso: i understand that, but when I ran the cmd it did not say the repository
<13> tonyyarusso: it was two days ago :) its now gone, it might just be that they are working on that piece and it will magically show up again tomorrow :)
<3> arcskon: You should get a line like "500 http://ei.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe Packages"
<14> chris12349, I am pretty sure you should umoount to ensure all writes have been made (or just wait a wee while)
<3> chris12349: Ah, could be.
<15> Hi, i'm on a separate computer right now...I am dual booting XP and ubuntu, and was told to change my hard drive from a slave (my old one is broken) to a master. I did that and now i don't know how to get back to linux.
<3> chris12349: Definitely don't just pull it out though.
<13> tonyyarusso, I'm going to just command line it
<13> thanks guys
<16> chris12349: umount is absolutely necessary regardless
<5> tonyyarusso: I don't.
<15> I am at a shell right now,
<3> chris12349: I was told the other day that it won't even write to the drive until the unmounting command.
<3> arcskon: What's yours?
<14> frodrigu, you need to change grub as itr will be /dev/hdb or something and not /dev/hda
<13> tonyyarusso: Interesting.... how does windows get around that
<5> tonyyarusso: 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
<3> chris12349: Beats me. I thought it sounded a little odd.
<13> hmmm my drive isn't mounted
<17> frodrigu: you just need to tell the bootloader where it can find something to boot
<18> !codecs
<2> Binary only codecs (such as w32codecs) can be downloaded from plf or cipherfunk, see !easysource for details on these repositories
<13> tonyyarusso: I wonder if just by closing nautilus it dismounts
<15> dirvine yes, but how do i do that from this saftey shell
<18> !easysource
<2> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
<15> topyli how do i do that from this weird shell
<3> arcskon: Maybe you need to update the repository cache or something? That is odd.
<19> does anyone know how to list all installed packages that no package depend on?
<14> frodrigu, you will need to use ubuntu cd and boot from that or usb linux or similar
<5> tonyyarusso: if you want the program, just download Automatix...it does it for you



<3> !automatix
<2> Automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does other harmful things like "echo -e 'ynY\n'" that are considered security risks. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications but the best thing is to read documentation.
<17> frodrigu: in single user mode (where you seem to be right now), fix /boot/grub/menu.lst so grub will find your linux kernel, then reistall grub
<17> frodrigu: how did you boot right now?
<3> christopher_: It might, I'm not sure.
<5> tonyyarusso: it's a bunch of BS....there's nothing wrong with automatix
<3> arcskon: I think I'll take Seveas' word on that one.
<15> topyli /boot is not avaliable. i picked ubuntu from the list of operating systems, and was brought to a shell where i did not login
<17> Sonderblade: look at debfoster
<20> am sorry for myself guys but ill be useful in the barrios now than in makati if this is the case...ill be seing an innocent Mark...other than Mark Shuttleworth..gtg...SAYANG
<20> <20> ill be prolifirating EDUBUNTU in the barrios rather than going in Makati wondering why were not invited as ubuntu team-ph member.
<21> Sonderblade, I remember packages like debfoster and deborphan from my Debian days, that help with finding no longer needed libraries. Maybe that's what you look for?
<19> !deporphan
<2> Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Sonderblade
<22> arcskon: you're free to break your system in any way you see fit, just don't ask for help here if you've been warned prior.
<23> arcskon, please take discussions about automatic to #ubuntu-offtopic . In here we provide sane advise and thus we don't advise automatix
<19> Sanne: thanks
<17> frodrigu: you are in single user linux. now, what do you mean there's no /boot?
<5> ..i never asked for help...someone asked me how to install avidemux because he couldn't do it
<3> arcskon: I didn't say I couldn't do it; I was just curious, and figured that would be an easy way for you to check, and was then surprised by your odd apt output. Anyway, doesn't much matter, moving on with life...
<21> Sonderblade, it seems those packages are both in universe (in case you haven't found them yet)
<24> Anybody know of a good place to go online for free clipart that would look good blown up large on a digital projector?
<15> topyli, i'm in a built in shell (busy-box 1.0) and cd /; ls gives NO boot
<25> Hey all
<15> however, when i restart i can press "e" for editing boot menu topyli
<17> frodrigu: you need to mount the disc where your root partition lives, then chroot to it, then fix and reinstall grub
<26> #ubuntu.it
<27> Knowerrors, openclipart.org has free graphics in svg format and under creative commons license
<25> XCHAT looks like crap in KDE
<17> frodrigu: not as bad as it sounds
<25> Does anyone know if XCHAT supports skinning?
<15> topyli, can i do this from the grub command line, before i boot? or "change the commands before editing"
<24> anto9us: tx, will check it out
<23> paganini, it does not
<28> would a 'cat /dev/null > file' work fine in cron?
<17> frodrigu: as long as you can boot the box into some kind of linux, you can do it :)
<29> paganini: no it doesnt ;) set gtk to follow your kde style in kcontrol.
<30> hmm anyone here succeded in compiling the gaim 2xx beta?
<28> would a 'cat /dev/null > file' work fine in cron? or is there another way of doing.
<17> frodrigu: you could perhaps make grub boot your original system, if you can edit its boot options to find your real root filesystem, and thus your kernel
<16> mikefoo: touch file has the same effect
<28> if I touch an already exisiting file?
<31> Fanskapet: yeah
<31> Fanskapet: I'm using it right now.
<17> frodrigu: if your system used to boot from, say hdb1, you could change it to hda1 on the grub command line
<30> PuMpErNiCkLe: what extra packages do you need?
<26> 7join #ubuntu-it
<30> PuMpErNiCkLe: is you required to use oRTP 0.7.1 or should the one in apt-get do the trick?
<17> frodrigu: only, grub talks a different languages and would speak of hd1,0 and hd0,0
<31> Fanskapet: I forget exactly... it was awhile ago, and it didn't take me too long. What error messages are you getting?
<30> seems like configure doesn't find the library automaticly
<15> topyli, alright, well i'm at the grub command line right now
<30> checking for ORTP... configure: error: Could not find a suitable version of oRTP. Please install oRTP >= 0.7.1
<30> im compiling it with --enable-vv
<25> Hey ccc_ I already have that option set, for GTK to follow the KDE style.
<17> frodrigu: you got the right kernel selected there?
<25> Maybe XCHAT is ignoring it for some reason?
<15> topyli, how do i change where its boot from? i need it to change from hdb3 to hda3
<31> Fanskapet: Oh, then you're doing something I didn't - mine was all defaults.
<16> frodrigu: you need to change /boot/grub/menu.lst & update /etc/fstab
<32> Frogzoo, mikefoo, touch won't truncate an existing file. The 'cat /dev/null > file' will ensure the file is empty.
<30> PuMpErNiCkLe: mkay maybe you didn't compile with webcam/audio support then?
<17> frodrigu: the command line will say something about (hd1,2). you will change it to be (hd0.2)
<17> frodrigu: or hd(0,2)
<29> paganini: i think it's a lil' bug, try disabling and re-enable it and see if that helps. and you have to restart xchat.
<33> anyone using squidguard?
<29> paganini: or use konversation :)
<31> Fanskapet: nope
<3> Fanskapet: Does the non-beta have webcam support? I tried to see my friend's webcam, and we got an error saying I needed the latest version of MSN Messenger.
<30> yes they have
<25> OK
