<12> Lordmundi: Sometimes, haven't tried Ubuntu with the two yet though.
<9> anyone having any problems with the ISOs off of the distro site? ive burned two and im getting errors when i try to boot off of it. ive burned many ubuntu iso's before
<12> smacky_wolf!
<13> hi
<14> When I create new users on my system their home dirs are world readable. How do I set the home dirs of each existing AND new users to be readable only by the user who owns it?
<11> Noob?
<11> o.O
<12> And I'd like to know where that screensaver went too ^_^
<12> Yes. It's me.
<15> Why are Tor users in here banned? For abuse? There are better ways to avoid that!
<3> alth: well, maybe X will detect better if I disconnect my flat panel and only hook up the CRT?
<16> wefgsdgdagsdiodfjidhnijuugheauighaweituw09eguodfnb283909r520398hgnjdfnbq9384tghidjnvpqwt0hed

<11> alth, I wondered if it was you. What's your issue?
<15> FunnyLookinHat, yes...
<9> bobbyd: true
<12> Lordmundi: Perhaps. I don't think getting it to try to config several displays at once is a good idea if there are issues ;)
<19> hi - what are the main differences between the server and desktop ISO image?
<9> Lordmundi: take it one at a time :)
<17> Lordmundi, yes, and maybe use the onboard GFX if you have it available
<12> smacky_wolf: No issue at the moment, lurking, picking up advice and trying to help ^_^
<7> so how do I get my screensavers back/fixed?
<20> I've just: dd if=/dev/had of=/dev/hdb, and rebooted, gparted shows hdb looking identical to had (excuse my irc client trying to correct hd.a) but hdb is 120gb and had is 40gb, I tried using gparted to resize the partition, but it fails after a few minutes. any ideas what I can try>

<21> znh, yes it is for abuse
<7> I've reinstalled rss-glx but it still can't find the installer
<11> alth, good boy =3
<22> linxeh: server is minimal install with no xserver when you boot up...ie no gui
<15> ompaul, why dont you de-voice them in here :) So they have to request it at the operators
<3> ok... i'll try again... thanks for the help
<13> i ve installed the alsa-oss and i have to change none to alsa-oss in /etc/firefox/firefoxrc how can i go there to change it?
<21> znh, I'll raise it with other ops
<19> navarone: ok - doesnt the desktop CD have a "server" option on install though ?
<12> Smacks: I haven't booted Windows in...*checks time* 4 days now ^_^
<10> What are Tor users???
<23> hello
<15> ompaul, better do.. it's a scratch in the open source world to do ban them
<22> linxeh: I beleive you can invoke "server" at prompt to do server install
<9> i spend more time in windows than linux, but i blame my WOW addiction
<15> FunnyLookinHat, http://tor.eff.org
<23> ive installed ubuntu (full disk). NOw I need windows with 3d support, and I want to install windows xp. For this is need to take away 10gb of /dev/hda1 and create /dev/hda2 how can I do this ?
<24> synth: WoW runs sweet as under wine
<17> synth, WoW works fine under cedega
<23> is this possible ?
<19> navarone: yeah, I'm trying to work out what the difference in the isos is though
<25> !dvd
<26> DVD playing is possible in ubuntu. You may need libdvdcss2, which is available via http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages (section extras)
<7> so how do I get the screensavers back?
<24> !tell synth about wow
<9> Frogzoo: as good as it would under Windows? isn't it DirectX ?
<17> synth, I've been playing under linux for months
<27> what group must a user be in to run X
<24> synth: you run using opengl
<22> grapefru1t: video
<27> navarone: thank you
<9> Frogzoo: it doesnt look any worse?
<17> synth, wine is a layer that lets you run windows and DX apps on linux
<17> synth, it looks fine



<24> synth: admittedly sounds a bit crap atm
<28> any ideas on adding a /boot partition...grub wont load
<9> bobbyd: eyah i know all about WINE, i played Doom3 on Linux before Dave could port it, he was pissed that i didnt wait for him heh
<17> Frogzoo, synth it's fine under Cedega (a commercial version of wine)
<9> oh, no, that was Timo
<23> any helps ?
<12> Ledil, I'd try Gparted if I were you.
<29> Hey

<29> Tried to boot it on another comp, it works
<9> bobbyd: doom3 played well but that was opengl.. i thought WOW was just D3D/DX
<33> !mp3
<26> [mp3] a patented format; to enable mp3 capability see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
<11> !chroot
<26> it has been said that chroot is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575
<29> maxkelley, would you know what it could be?
<34> synth: cedega wraps DirectX around opengl
<35> Bladedge: bios or cd drive.
<32> I've been to both those threads and this error is not fully sovled.
<13> how can we go /etc/firefox/firefoxrc ???
<9> dwango: yeah, but that's gonna be slower than true OGL
<36> Bladedge: i think synth has problems with his cd too.... i _think_
<29> maxkelley, gonna try to network boot it
<35> say, I try and print a test page in the cups web interface, but I get "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed"
<22> hi gnome
<29> maxkelley, brb
<35> Bladedge: have fun :)
<29> maxkelley, thanks I sure will

<9> it eventually boots to the desk but then the installer crashes
<36> maxkelley: want me to stay around?
<9> I play WOW on Windows @ 1280x1024 with every setting cranked
<9> hope i can do that under wine/cedega :)
<21> !wine
<26> Wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on linux. see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wine for more info.
<21> !wow
<26> To run WoW properly, Wine needs to be built from source https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorldofWarcraft and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingWineFromSource
