<2> Youssef***ad: now that i'm afraid i cannot do :)
<2> hehe
<3> DarkLegacy: logical volume manager
<4> How do I re-install firefox?
<5> i only borrow off of ppl i see face to face :)
<1> Remy, apt-get upgrade does the actual upgrading.
<1> Good, watson540.
<2> i dont even have a car ! but i'm free to use one of 2 as much as i want
<6> watson540: Once a guy in germay sent me in Egypt ten CDs of debian. He didn't know me obviously. Stranger things have happened.
<4> I need to reinstall
<6> avis: :p
<1> carl, sudo apt-get install firefox
<4> So, how do I remove firefox?
<7> How come totem can't play avi's? I tryed to install mplayer but it says my computer doesn't have a build



<8> halibut: brb
<9> no need to remove it
<5> anyway, why buy a new tv tuner when i have a dormant one sitting here just waiting for drivers?! granted a hardware tuner would be nice but im old fashioned and would rather use what i i8 have
<10> Ok, partitioning complete
<10> Time to check if my burn was good
<11> Youssef***ad: Some guy sent me 20 CD's of Breezy at the start of the year!! amazing!!
<2> watson510 no problem. i only would do so because i believe if someone had extended that courtesy to me i'd be a happy person
<1> detectiveinspekt, it depends what file format the AVI actually is.
<5> i even managed to download a binary package of all the gatos drivers and only 1 out of like 10 actually loaded
<9> Get VLC - best media player
<5> i dunno maybe a i loaded them wrong
<12> is there a gui tool around for bridging two nics together? or should i resort to cli on thr brctl ?
<4> How do I uninstall firefox?
<9> plays almost anything
<3> clement: thanks, i think i put it under the wrong section
<6> zcat[1]: it is, isn't it. That gesture was what got me fired up way back whe I first started with free software
<7> I wouldn't know, I don't have mplayer
<13> weoh: no problem. use CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to restart X and it should be ok.
<7> I need something quicl
<14> carl: From System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager
<15> hullo there.. is there a lovely C64 emulator I can use on ubuntu?
<2> anyway i just had some coffee and wanted to get geeky. hehe. anyone know of a good wireless-g pci card that i can use out of the box with dapper ?
<14> carl: It might warn that it's breaking "ubuntu-desktop". Ignore the warning.
<11> Youssef***ad: It's what gets everyone fired up. It's just so cool to be able to burn off a CD of software and give it away and not be doing anything wrong!!
<12> i use a linksys 54 something something, works peachy here
<2> hehe i cannot operate on something something :)
<2> thank you though
<7> running gksudo anyroot app does nothing, why?
<4> Nevermind, the sudo apt-get worked
<4> It didn't work last time I tried though
<2> trust me dont feel bad my dad doesn't know the name of his wireless card
<16> !dapper
<17> DAPPER IS OUT! PARTY TIME! https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2006-June/000083.html
<10> How do I initiate a private message with someone in IRC?
<6> zcat[1]: Not in malaysia you can't. They were arresting kids for doing that. I submitted it ti slashdot. but the arses there rejected it. I guess they'd rather have google fanboy articles and Roland Piquepaille stories
<12> :) well i think they only have 1 type and then the abcdefg series thingy on it
<16> dapper
<0> can anyone help me write a shell script that will run sudo apt-get upgrade and say "yes" at the end to automate it ?
<13> DarkLegacy: /query name
<6> erm...
<13> DarkLegacy: or /msg name
<6> yes | sudo apt-get upgrade
<10> Thanks, clement_lefebvre
<0> Youssef***ad <- that requires me to then type in "y" manually
<0> I want to automate that ;)
<4> Is there any way to change the screen res?
<11> Youssef***ad: I tried to sell some OSS CD's on a local auction site and they got removed for 'piracy' .. NZOSS is still trying to explain the concept to them!!!
<13> DarkLegacy: no problem.
<6> Remy: no, look carefully: yes | sudo apt-get upgrade
<14> Remy: I think you need apt-get's --force-yes option. The man page strongly advises not to use it.
<12> actually mine is called : linksys wireless g pci adapter
<0> ahk
<12> avis,
<13> carl: CTRL ++, CTRL --.. or System->Preferences->Screen Resolution

<14> Remy: No problem. Just be careful with it...
<6> zcat[1]: fluffy? Oh the shame! :p
<0> :)
<20> 23 is the ubuntu number...
<11> I name my machines after characters in Harry Potter. Fluffy is a big three-headed dog.
<20> Has nothing to do with vanilla kernel numberings
<6> zcat[1]: oh, yes, I recall that
<13> Ramunas: by the way, you can check your kernel version with "uname -r"
<19> clement_lefebvre: i know ;)
<13> Ramunas: ok, no pb.
<9> anyone got a link to a good huge general linux guide that relates to ubuntu that they would like to share?
<13> zcat[1]: I name mine after planets. I'm on pluto right now (10.6" screen :)).
<12> there are some wikis
<12> and such
<21> I just don't get it
<21> kwifimanager says "not connected"
<19> can i rename my machine?
<19> mine`s named ubuntu, its boring :D
<14> TigerWolf: Have you checked the wiki? System->Help->System Documentation ?
<13> :)
<22> Anyone can tell me how to tell ubuntu not to lock my display every time I close the lid?
<1> Ramunas, change it in System->Admin->Networking.
<6> heh... I seem to have picked a good batch of stocks on the BBC world cup trading game
<23> TigerWolf, there are lot of manuals of lot of programs..
<23> but i can't imagine what a general linux guide would be
<23> :)
<12> jmspeex, prolly go to sleep mode and lock it
<14> TigerWolf: I don't think it's what you want, but I've heard that a few books on Ubuntu have come out (I don't like Introduction-to-Linux-type of books )
<1> jmspeex, System->Preferences->Power Management
<14> Youssef***ad: Depends on how lucky you are ;)
<24> anyone knows something about fixing a bug for radeon 9000 in fglrx 8.25.x drivers???
<1> Change `Blank screen' to `Do nothing'.
<9> ok thanks - ill have a looke around
<19> anybody can suggest a cool name for by box ? :D
<6> neutrinom***: I rather think it's just a question of catching the fallers at the lowest point
<9> i got a good start anyway
<19> *my
<12> Ramunas, fluffy
<1> Ramunas, I always have that problem :(
<6> Ramunas: toilet
<25> What program should i use to burn iso cd's in Ubuntu?
<22> Fujitsu: there's no option about locking the display
<1> Hi, lem.
<1> Loving it?
<9> hey lem
<12> or fooboontoo
<26> Hi all.
<1> `When laptop lid is closed'
<27> Ramunas: cedar
<1> Change that to `Do nothing', jmspeex.
<19> hmm..
<13> TigerWolf: if you have any question about something, you're welcome to ask here. Otherwise, I suggest you browse the Internet for interesting readings. Maybe general Linux overviews, the Debian documentation and Ubuntu related websites.
<9> Im just amazed at how good ubuntu is - everything just works!
