Comments:
<0> gharz, Warbo, you might try that link
<1> gharz: Cool. I'll have to look into it (I downloaded it before, but it made far too many configs and network devices than I was comfortable with. If it is in Ubuntu then I can relax since Synaptic won't destroy my system)
<2> ok one last question... how can I change the volume for line in?
<3> Is there any pplive equiavlent video streaming client for linux ?
<4> I wouldn't suppose there's a way to make ALSA use OSS? that would be sooooo useful :)
<5> Flannel :: is there any posssibility to run RPM on Ubuntu ?
<6> jshriver, alsamixer
<1> babo: Have you looked at GnomePeerCast and PenguinTV? (I'm not sure what pplive is, so just suggestions)
<7> Flannel, Warbo : this is the best vmware howto i found in the forum... others experienced the same problem but they didn't mentioned how they were able to fix it.
<7> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183209
<8> jshriver: the asoundconf utility takes parameters from /proc/asound/; don't randomly insert strings for names you think may work. Use what ``asoundconf list'' tells you.
<0> MarsRouter: there is, but usually you can find deb files, and those would be better.
<2> hrm..
<0> gharz: check out that link to the wiki though
<8> jshriver: and note that you have to adjust the volume after you set a new default card
<2> well I have my bttv card's plugged into my line-in, but no sound
<7> Flannel, that wiki says he bought the software. i'm installing a free version. :(
<8> jshriver: then unmute and increase line's volume
<1> MarsRouter: If you have an RPM of something trivial (like a game) then it is usually OK to convert it to Deb with Alien
<8> piratepenguin: heh, alsa can emulate oss. It doesn't use oss.
<0> !tell MarsRouter about alien
<2> that's it :) was muted
<2> sweet! can watch TV now hehe
<9> hmm..javascript still not working
<10> in which browser?
<9> Firefox and Swiftfox
<4> crimsun_: ah so what I want isn't possible then..
<7> Flannel, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183209 this is the good link. but maybe bec my eyes are tired of searching for an answer, i don't see any msgs that states the solution.
<2> well I'm heading to bed .. thank everyone :)
<2> have a good night
<1> Anyone know how to install Flash in Konqueror? (I think it can be done, but don't see any packages and general mozilla one doesn't do Konqueror)
<0> Warbo: you might try asking in #kubuntu
<1> Flannel: but I use GNOME :)
<0> Warbo: but, Konqueror is a KDE program
<10> Warbo: update the plugin list using KDE control panel
<9> Warbo: I was on Suse for awhile, and according to the forums it's still being integrated by devs
<1> Flannel: Not really needed, I was just wondering (since I screwed up FireFox a week ago [and hence Galeon and Epiphany] so I was stuck in Konqueror)
<9> Yea, I'll have to do something about javascript here..
<0> Warbo: rght, but I'm sure they know howto do it
<1> By the way, does musepack go pretty slow for everyone (mainly in Amarok)?
<10> define slow?
<1> Healot: Amarok takes a while to respond when changing tracks to a musepack file (around 2 seconds to display OSD etc.)
<8> piratepenguin: considering alsa was designed to replace oss...
<10> oh, gap
<10> maybe you set the playing list to include 2 second gap?
<4> crimsun_: yea I see.. if only the nvidia drivers were build for alsa damnit!
<1> Healot: Nope. Everything else is Mp3 and OGG with no problems
<8> piratepenguin: well, snd_intel8x0 will work but won't allow pcm multiplexing
<10> Warbo: maybe it's the plugin itself
<1> Healot: I think it may either be from a) not very well supported format or b) musepack is such a complex/compressed format it is inevitable
<10> musepack is for lossless compression right?
<1> I was just after anyone else's experience
<8> no, mpc is lossy.
<1> Healot: Lossy
<10> maybe bad algorithm?
<4> crimsun_: is that because only nvidia has the info to program the hardware or..?
<1> Healot: I think it is "open", but based on MP3 so it can't be technically
<10> if lossless, it cold involve disk speed etc... because the file could be huge
<1> Healot: If it was lossless then I would simply convert to FLAC, but it is a bad idea to transcode lossy to lossy
<10> Warbo: I would guess it's the algorithm
<1> Healot: Well I can speculate, but I was just curious about peaople's real-world experience with it. I may test it in XMMS, since that is more lightweight
<8> piratepenguin: essentially.
<11> hello
<12> hey
<11> which package has got alsaconf?
<1> piratepenguin: nv driver essentially just uses graphics card as a monitor port. All of the work is done in your CPU
<10> take your time, btw it doesn't affect play quality, Warbo?
<12> Stiffler, no clue sowwie
<4> Warbo: we're talking about sound drivers ;)
<1> Healot: It doesn't affect quality thankfully
<13> I just upgraded to 6.06, and now the GUI won't start. X server says something like the virtual screen dimensions are too big. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, or how to fix it?
<1> piratepenguin: Oh, soryy (Nvidia!=Sound to me :))
<4> crimsun_: I see.. well, thanks for all your help :D
<14> !firefox
<1> Kachingo: From a console you can change your X settings with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" maybe fiddling with those settings can help?
<4> did anyone else just get a million PMs?
<1> nope
<13> Perhaps, I'll go try. Cheers
<15> I have grub and a distro image on hard drive. How do I install new distro out of that image?
<16> Hey guys! Was just wondering. What will happen to GRUB, when I install Windows XP after having installed Ubuntun 6.06? Will Windows XP be the prefered Os, and be set as default?
<0> Alfred_: no, WindowsXP will eat grub.
<17> Alfred_: XP will kill grub
<18> yeah
<10> !dualboot
<19> for wintel https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo :for the Mac https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
<16> Flannel, Toma- : I really would not want that. What can I do to prevent that? I really need XP, but I want Ubuntu to my primary OS
<0> Windows goes around thinking it's the only operating system, and does stupid things without checking
<0> Alfred_: you can still have ubuntu be your primary OS if you install it second
<20> i agree flannel
<21> How can I read and write on Windows NTFS?
<22> or reinstall grub
<1> Healot: Hmmm... XMMS seems to have no gap when changing tracks. In fact, it seems to change tracks 4 seconds before the song is over :(
<0> myworld122: you can read, not write.
<0> !tell myworld122 about ntfs
<23> myworld122 experimental
<23> myworld122 it might work
<18> myworld122, captivate, but its real slow and might screw up
<16> Flannel, *sigh* I just got it all set up and configured, and now I have to start over again? (Having some major issues getting my Canon i850 to work, which I really don't want to go through again)
<24> Alfred_, have you left any space on a drive?
<21> Thanks guys
<24> i.e. a partition for windows xp to sit on
<1> Alfred_: You can reinstall GRUB from a LiveCD after Windoze is installed
<5> Flannel : in FC in write on NTFS too just mounting by complex command
<6> Alfred_, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_restore_GRUB_menu_after_Windows_installation
<0> MarsRouter: right, they use captive I imagine, it's not stable though, can hose an entire partition
<16> LeaChim, Flannel Warbo: Hey Warbo, good morning! Sorry, I forgot to mention that, must be the lack of sleep. ;) Yea, I got 20 GB of unallocated disc space left on HDA1
<1> Alfred_: You have Ubuntu installed, now install XP (I ***ume you left space) then run a livecd and do "sudo grub-install /dev/hda" where /dev/hda is your harddrive
<25> bennyboy, ubuntuguide is not up to date - please don't recommend it. Use wiki.ubuntu.com or help.ubuntu.com's resources instead...
<9> OK, I looked at the javascript console, and I have tons of errors, even after a reinstall
<24> Alfred_, ok, what you can do is install it on that
<9> any ideas?
<6> ubuntuguide is up to date
<1> someone mentioned ubuntuguide being updated (I still prefer Wiki though)
<24> Alfred_, and then yes, livecd, and run grub-install /dev/hda1 - then you can boot into linux, and add the windows entry to the grub conf file
<0> bennyboy: ubuntuguide is not sanctioned, use the wiki instead.
<25> bennyboy, that's new then...
<6> yes only a few days old
<26> ah... 3 am and the chat room is buzzing
<1> Alfred_: Use /dev/hda (or your drive) not hda1, otherwise it will not get installed to MBR
<26> nerds never get any sleep..even after working a 60 hr work week ..."working" in the office. . .
<25> I wish people would help with the real Ubuntu docs instead of starting their own projects all the time...
<1> Hypoglybetic: Yes, 8am and it is buzzing
<5> Flannel:yes specially the difference Windows cant imaginge difference between Capa & sammal is the real issue
<25> Hypoglybetic, this is a very international channel - it's only 3am where you are :)
<5> Flannel : for new bies it sholud Read only
<26> ah, you hail from UK?
<1> Hypoglybetic: Yes (and it's far too hot)
<26> ..
<16> LeaChim, Flannel Warbo, bennyboy : Thanks, so this is what I'll do: I'll install Windows XP on the unpartioned space I have left, once that's done, I'll install GRUB by using the Ubuntu 6.06 Install CD. And I'll make sure to use /dev/hda not hda1
<24> Warbo, Alfred_, yes :P i meant /dev/hda :P *whistles*
<0> MarsRouter: no, no. Writing to NTFS is NOT stable, at all, for anyone.
<26> try florida
<1> Alfred_: Yep
<18> question: I have a directory /home/ben/scripts, of which i would like to just type the name of the script into a terminal to run it,,, what symbolic link do i need to create?
<26> hot one day, then friggen gods wraith the next .. hurricanes..
<0> Madpilot: I agree completely about the help texts
<10> NTFS was meant for Windows NT operating systems, should stay that way
<24> Alfred_, yes. then you boot into linux, and you can add the bit in the grub conf to allow it to boot xp
<25> xice, use /home/ben/bin, and tweak your $PATH to include ~/bin
<10> I wonder why Microsoft haven't sue people who created "captive"
<18> its legal
<26> I have a general question. Where is the Gigantic Red flashing Arrow saying "linux newbs download this distrobu here!"
<0> Healot: fair use, I imagine
<1> Hypoglybetic: The British generally don't have BAD weather, we just complain ("It's always bloody raining" and when it isn't "It's too bloody hot, why doesn't it rain?") :)
<26> Warbo: i'm so glad you type my name, this xchat highlights it all in red... though, if i wore my contacts, it wouldnt' be so hard to read.
<10> If I am William, I'll sue anyone writing program to access NTFS (whose have no affliate with MS) :)
<16> LeaChim, Warbo: Edit the GRUB conf file? How do I do that? Is it just plain comment/uncomment configuring, or do I have to type in something?
<25> Hypoglybetic, are you asking for a link to the download page, or asking why Ubuntu is popular w/ newcomers to Linux, or ??? (sorry, it's late here...)
<1> Hypoglybetic: GAIM forever :)
<24> Alfred_, you will have to type something. we can walk you through it once xp is installed
