<0> skippy81: duh! it's Adour!
<1> Scorpmoon: the older style buffer was the one that was always used, drag-to-copy, middle-click-to-paste .. but it is lost the instant that window closes. so it is very annoying to work with (pop up an ID3 tag info in XMMS, copy the track title, close the dialog, try to paste it and you can't), so they started using the other method
<2> Scorpmoon: just remember to use control SHIFT and v when pasting into a terminal
<0> er
<0> Ardour
<3> skippy81: you say either will work for upgrade. the site seems to suggest to do upgrade using apt, one needs the alternative, and not the desktop. I've ordered the desktop and live cd, so will prob just d/l the alternative to be safe
<3> skippy81: thnks again for the help
<4> http://thestonepedo.pastebin.ca/62664
<1> Scorpmoon: problem is many older apps, especially terminals, only support the drag-to-copy buffer
<5> grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
<6> does anyone have experience with counter-strike:source on ubuntu?
<7> Geoffrey2: okay i dunno, but for me with WEP i was putting in the key, but NetworkManager wants the p***phrase, not the key, so it wants the phrase that was used to create the key
<8> ctrl+shift+v is a bad key combination, ergonomically
<9> Farhad: buy a new monitor. Your current monitor is too old. It *cannot* do 1024x768
<10> or use your 3rd mouse button
<7> Geoffrey2: and you would have had to turn it off on your router or such also for it to work
<11> anyone tried ripping dvds on dapper?
<1> Scorpmoon: another example is the old "xfontsel" app
<9> L***eL: lalalala
<12> L***eL, yeah.
<7> Geoffrey2: just in case you didnt
<8> i've no clue, first time linux user here
<10> i have a 17inch monitor that will do 1733x13xx but i cant seem to make it happen.
<12> L***eL, dvd::rip
<1> skippy81: for terminals, use Shift+Insert
<2> captine: im pretty sure you can upgrade with the desktop - but if you have doubts then alternative is the way to go
<13> Ok, my monitor does not support 1024x768, well , now i want work in 800x600, what must i do?
<1> skippy81: if you don't want to middle-click
<14> i was wondering if someone could lend me a hand with installing windows after ubuntu
<15> sladen: want to talk in private message..
<10> it will do 16oox1200 sometimes. but in this version or dapper i cant make it happen
<9> stevejesus: what does 'sudo ddcprobe' say that your monitor can do
<10> worked fine in flight 4-7
<16> another quick question. I have in my laptop a
<17> Scorpmoon: shift-insert
<1> nearly every terminal supports Shift+Insert to paste in the drag-to-select buffer
<17> also middle-mouseclick
<9> stevejesus: can you file a bug please: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg/+filebug
<2> Scorpmoon: theres a reason for it, control v are allready taken by the linux shell
<1> scr: http://auk.ca/dd
<8> ok but this is in gnome
<2> Scorpmoon: yeah but it is a terminal
<1> scr: that has information on reloading the bootloader after Windows wipes it out (which it will do)
<14> Samus_Aran: i am past that
<8> that's a bad design design descision IMHO.. useability always comes first :)
<18> Man, Enemy Territory ran terrible
<14> however, it leaves me with a working ubuntu and a not-so-fully-installed windows
<2> Scorpmoon: the rules for terminals are different - your wife wont need to use a terminal much anyway - and when she is copying and pasting will be the last thing on her mind
<10> sladen, it sats 1280x1024, but im running 14XXx1050 right now. and have done 1600x1200 in flight 4-7
<17> shift-insert
<1> Scorpmoon: Ctrl+<any letter> is sent directly to the console. it has to be, or you can't operate console based apps
<13> sladen: why VGA menu doesn't works!
<8> so which one is she gonna use? you told me 10 solutions
<4> !seen cdubya
<19> I found 2 matches to your query (sorted): cdubya cdubya2. ToHellWithGA, cdubya (n=cdubya@24.121.151.40) was last seen quiting on #ubuntu 22minutes 59seconds ago stating ("Leaving").
<20> cdubya <n=cdubya@24.121.151.40> was last seen on IRC in channel #ubuntu, 29m 25s ago, saying: 'it ended up getting a little annoying....so I removed it'.
<1> Scorpmoon: text mode relies heavily on control characters
<21> ho all
<4> thanks liquoredonlife
<22> wtf is liquoredonlife
<23> skippy81:It didn't work I still get the errors
<1> Scorpmoon: just configure one of the clipboard tools for Gnome or KE which will monitor your clipboards and synchronise them
<9> Farhad: because your hardware cannot support the mode you are requesting
<10> sladen, i can always do 1600x1200 with the nv driver, but almost never with nvidia driver. always work in fedora
<1> Scorpmoon: that way you can paste with middle-click or application-method at any time
<2> sheepcentral: im afraid im kinda out of ideas then - have you got any unusual hardware?
<8> and copy is always ctrl+c ?
<2> and sheepcentral are you sure your install media is good?
<24> can anyone explain to me why postfix appears to be leaving mail in /home/user/mbox rather than Maildir when I specifically told it to put it in Maildir in main.cf? I'm STARING at the home_mailbox = Maildir/ directive in main.cf, and I DID restart postfix, so what's going on?
<9> stevejesus: we need more information. Can you please file a bug if you want to get it fixed
<11> Samuli^: but I don't see dvd::rip in synaptic?
<25> can you install server from the desktop cd?
<1> Scorpmoon: no. as I said, either the application chooses the method (anything the app wants) for the application-buffer, or it is the drag-to-select/middle-click-to-paste
<12> !tell L***eL about universe
<15> sladen: are you there?
<10> sladen, i need to use launchpad right? can you give me a quick step by step?
<1> Scorpmoon: those are the two copy/paste buffers
<17> jtd: is posfix using procmail or some other mail delivery agent?
<2> scorpmoon, if your working in a terminal then add shift
<7> jtd: maybe your staring is making it nervous? j/k
<9> mark_: yes, I'm here
<23> skippy81:It is a laptop so that could be it and yes my install media is good afaik, i checked the iso's md5.
<13> my Ubuntu 5 works on 800x600 but now ...
<4> who is good with python and might help me debug something http://thestonepedo.pastebin.ca/62664
<26> jtd: did you restart postfix?
<26> oh, nevermind.
<7> Geoffrey2: getting it to work?
<12> L***eL, oh right. It's called simply dvdrip in the repos
<2> sheepcentral: check the CD just in case, maybe the ISO was good but the CD is bad? i know it sounds silly but it happens to a lot of people
<1> Scorpmoon: get used to the drag-to-select method, it is far faster than Windows copy and paste methods, and works in nearly every app
<9> stevejesus: go to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg/+filebug
<24> wastrel: It is. Why?
<16> another quick question. I have in my laptop an ATI graphics card and I'd like to enable hibernation. I read many times that fglrx drivers aren't exactly hibernation friendly so I'd like to know what other drivers i should use. To this end i'm recompiling the kernel with suspend 2 support.
<9> stevejesus: and follow the questions
<12> L***eL, so, try and apt-get that :)
<17> jtd: procmail may have its own ideas about where your system mailbox is located
<23> skippy81:ok I will go do that now
<2> sheepcentral: other than that i suggest google searching for your model of laptop - if it has issues you will find info
<11> Samuli^: I managed to disable universe somehow :)
<24> or, I should say, I *installed* procmail. Where would I go to configure it?
<10> sladen, thank you
<24> there doesn't seem to be a procmail.conf anywhere.
<2> sheepcentral: sorry i dont have a perfect solution for you mate :(
<1> Scorpmoon: if you need apps to only use Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V, then only use official Gnome or KDE apps, and set up the terminal to use Ctrl+V as a shortcut for paste
<9> bartman_: the 'ati' open source drivers should work with the in-kernel suspend
<12> L***eL, so you found right? It's a great app. Let's you do almost anything, though hence it's a bit complicated at first.
<14> after installing about 1/2 of windows, it will want to reboot. it is here that i get stuck. windows overwrites grub but still wont boot its install procedure.
<9> bartman_: the Suspend2 stuff is so much crack, but if they work for you reliably, use it
<16> I heard they only work well with radeon 9200 or less. I have a mobility Firegl v5000/x700 in my lappir
<17> jtd: i dunno - i haven't messed with procmail for a while- just an idea of what the problem might be...
<1> scr: that wouldn't have anything to do with GRUB or GNU/Linux
<1> scr: it completely overwrites it
<27> sladen: I changed my name
<9> scr: IIRC, windows will only install onto the primary partition
<12> scr, are trying to install it on the first HD?
<27> sladen: I was mark
<2> scr: i think on windows second boot, your still supposed to hav the windows CD in mate
<1> scr: if it isn't booting stage two of the install, the problem lies elsewhere. I recommend confirming the partition is marked as "bootable"
<11> Samuli^: I liked everything about "drip", except the part where it was supposed to actually work :)
<12> L***eL, haha. dvd::rip works nicely on my puter.
<14> no, i am not trying to install to the 1st partition.
<28> hello everyone
<28> can someone help me with hibernation?
<1> scr: and keep in mind that Windows in general likes to live on the first disk marked as bootable in the partition table (normally the primary master)
<12> scr, but it's a primary partition, not a logical one and it's on the first HD right? (do you have multiple HD's physically?)
<2> pvangarde, if you have a nvidia graphics card, hibernation probably wont work
<14> so it cannot be done? grub doesnt have a neat feature to trick windows into thinking its the first partition?
<16> sladen: so you're saying i should dump suspend2. Then just change the driver and hope it works with existing suspend functionality?
<29> can you install server from the ubuntu live/desktop cd?
<14> Samuli^: one hdd, many partitions
<28> skippy81: that answers my question thank you!
<16> I mean hibernate functionality
<2> ryanakca: no i dont think you can, try alternative
<28> skippy81: is there any way to even try to make it work?
<1> scr: which partition is Windows on ?
<9> bartman_: if it doesn't work with the standard open-source driver, out of the box, then that is a bug and needs fixing
<1> scr: and what are in the partitions before it ?
<2> pvangarde: i wouldnt try, wait for nvidias next set of drivers to come out
<12> scr, what's the hdaN number you're trying to install the windows to?
<30> I just installed ubuntu, what is the default root pw?
<14> Samus_Aran: #4, /boot and / are before it
<14> and smt else
<9> bartman_: ideally it should work out-of-the-box with the binary too, if possible. Have you actually tried?
<1> scr: if there are any partitions before Windows that Windows can see (e.g. NTFS, FAT32, etc.) it won't boot
<12> roler, you're supposed to use sudo and your sudoer p*** is the same as your p***.
<28> skippy81: i installed the drivers from the packaging system, should i try installing the drivers from nvidia.com
<9> rody-DruAl: what error message?
<30> oh
<1> scr: you can use GRUB to remap the partitions so XP's becomes the first partition
