Comments:

<0> gdb: you may want to increase the volumes for 'B***' and 'Treble'. They're set to 0.
<1> would "rmdir /path/to/dir" be pl to put in a cron and run every hour?
<2> ok i think its working properly
<0> boha_: "think"? :) You either can or can't hear it. :)
<2> but why i dont have sound in enemy territory?
<2> :p
<3> can one upgrade hoary to dapper without losing the grub config info?
<4> i have a grub question
<2> yes i hear it:D
<5> B***etts: rmdir won't remove files - only empty directories
<6> crimsun_: oh dear
<7> I tried to reformat an ntfs partition to ext3, but now disks manager still shows it as ntfs, and refuses to enable it..
<6> crimsun_: If that's the issue, I'm terribly embar***ed. lol
<8> NoWhereToTurn, you will need to upgrade to breezy from hoary before going to dapper. And it will preserve grub for you
<0> boha_: did you uncheck System> Preferences> Sound> Enable software sound mixing ?
<6> crimsun_: The volume slider is all the way up, I'll dig around and see about increasing the volume for those channels.



<9> how can i change what language openoffice uses to spellcheck ?
<3> breezy is still downloadable via iso?
<0> NoWhereToTurn: yes, from the download page
<8> NoWhereToTurn, you'd be better off just doing a fresh install of dapper
<4> i have windows installed on my primary drive /dev/hde1 which currently boots, ubuntu is installed on my second disk, in dev/hdg3, i cant seem to get grub to load properly
<10> how must i install qtCurve i have ubuntu 6 and gnome, i don't understand the instalation help : http://pastebin.com/703286 to what location do i have to instrall it and how?
<7> will I have to edit /etc/fstab manually?
<2> crimsun_, it is checked
<11> How can I trim the fat and clean up stuff that's just taking up space? I've already done apt-get clean.
<2> crimsun_, do i have to uncheck it?
<0> boha_: try unchecking it
<3> nickrud I must be able to use the existing grub configuration information as there are multiple o/s on this box
<12> Ayabara, it can't hurt to check it
<13> ? installed ubuntu 6..then installed kde..but kdm is saying cant access kdm theme
<3> as well the forum indicates that the desktop version of dapper is flaky and the alternate download should be used
<5> loanwolf: install "kubuntu-desktop"
<1> dooglus: how do i remove a directory and files?
<8> NoWhereToTurn, copy the /boot/grub/menu.lst to a floppy or something for later reference. But, dapper is pretty good at picking up other os's.
<5> B***etts: /bin/rf -fr /path/to/file-or-dir
<5> B***etts: that's /bin/rm
<5> B***etts: not /bin/rf
<1> will that work on an apache server???
<7> eyequeue: I see that fstab still says it is ntfs, but I don't know if I can just update it to ext3, or if the formatting didn't work
<8> NoWhereToTurn, I've heard that also. My live install went ok, though.
<12> Ayabara, what does fsck say about the partition?
<1> dooglus, will it work in cpanel on an apache server?
<5> B***etts: it'll work on any linux box
<3> downloading the alternate install ISO via torrent.. going to take another hour to get it
<1> ok
<5> B***etts: I don't know cpanel
<1> cpanel just runs ontop of apache
<14> does anyone know if suse 9.1 or hight support wifi
<13> dooglus, already downloaded this distro and installed it..and installed kde...if i install another distro..its going back to mandriva
<5> B***etts: it's a shell command. if you can run shell commands as root then it's OK.
<1> you can setup crons in cpanel
<2> crimsun_, still no sound in et :S
<5> loanwolf: kubuntu-desktop is a package.
<15> for some reason I can't get my Orinoco cards to talk to the router since I upgraded to Dapper
<0> boha_: please pastebin the console output
<12> Ayabara, did you umount it before mkfs.ext3'ing it?
<15> any idea what could be going on?
<7> eyequeue: fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found
<13> dooglus, ohh ok srry for that
<16> Gosh !
<8> NoWhereToTurn, a good thing to spend this hour is backing up data. Also, you might want to read the dpkg man page, the part about get-selections & set-selections for setting up your new os.
<5> loanwolf: it's a package which depends on a metric shedload of other packages though (all the KDE apps and stuff)
<6> crimsun_: Ok, by manipulating the options for the volume control applet, I've increased b*** and treble to max, using the master volume for volume control. When I try to run the "Experience ubuntu.ogg" video, totem complains that it can't establish a connection to the sound server. When I run "esd -d /dev/dsp" I get an error: ALSA lib pcm.c:2102:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM /dev/dsp
<16> help.. i just added skim panel applet and i dont see my kicker now ?
<3> I have nothing on ubuntu to backup since I rarely used it
<12> Ayabara, umount /your/mount/point
<6> crimsun_: And esd exits (does not remain running to try totem again).
<1> dooglus: is it possible to tell it to remove everything in /files but not the folder /files itself?
<8> then you probably don't need the dpkg stuff either then :)
<15> hmm.. a bunch of Orinoco bugs in launchpad
<12> Ayabara, then mkfs.ext3 with the options you want (man mkfs.ext3)
<5> B***etts: "/bin/rm -fr /files/*" will remove most of the stuff in /files/ without removing /files/ itself. but it won't touch anything beginning with a '.' character.
<0> gdb: what is the default audio sink configured as in ``gstreamer-properties''?
<7> eyequeue: the partition is not mounted
<10> what is nicer gnome or kubuntu?
<13> dooglus, ok..i will do that...what package do i need for xine tp play mpeg video's..
<1> cheers dooglus



<12> Ayabara, then change /etc/fstab and then mount /your/mount/point
<2> crimsun_, paste what?
<7> eyequeue: ahh. now I get it
<8> dooglus, do you have a simple command line that includes the dot files, they always give me problems
<7> thanks
<12> Ayabara, no problem
<5> loanwolf: I prefer mplayer to xine. did you try w32codecs maybe? or see the RestrictedFormats page on the wiki?
<0> boha_: the tty output from ET starting up
<17> amortvigil: It's a personal matter. KDE (Kubuntu) is prettier but I think Gnome is more functional
<6> crimsun_: Output is set to Autoselect. The other options are ALSA, ESD, OSS, and Custom.
<13> ok
<7> eyequeue: one more question. I have no idea what options I want.. is there a common choice here?
<0> gdb: can you set it to alsa instead of auto?
<12> Ayabara, i think the basic principle is that it needs to be unmounted, just a "data" file when you manipulate it
<6> crimsun_: Yes, when I set that and click the Test button, I get a dialog that says: ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture: Resource busy or unavailable.
<6> er or not available
<0> gdb: ``lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*''
<12> Ayabara, i suspect you'll do fine with the defaults, just leave the optional parameters off
<18> Anyone know why sound lags when playing flash videos? I see solutions in the forums for other versions of Ubuntu but those don't apply to Dapper Drake
<3> Is upgrading Ubuntu to a new release always this complicated?
<0> NoWhereToTurn: hopefully not.
<7> eyequeue: just mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3?
<19> ah i have a question while installing ubuntu i accidently did not select the video mode i wanted to use. how would i go about enabling that after? 'I already edited my Xorg.conf" and did the proper Nvidia drivers Install
<15> anyone using an Orinoco wireless card with Dapper?
<6> crimsun_: aplay, gaim, mixer_app, and gnome-volume-control all have either /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p or /dev/snd/controlC0 open.
<3> It seems that one has to go through a whole bunch of steps even going from the prior breezy version to dapper
<6> crimsun_: Should I log out and back in to free them and allow ALSA to take over?
<12> Ayabara, yeah, give that a shot
<2> crimsun_, i paste on privat
<0> gdb: well, ``aplay /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav'' should work...
<20> I have a Thinkpad T40. I had a USB keyboard for a while... and ever since using the USB keyboard on the laptop, the keys on my regular keyboard are not mapped correctly in X. How can I fix this?
<0> boha_: no, please use pastebin.
<2> can you give me link of pastebin?
<21> Hi!
<0> !paste
<21> CAn you help me
<22> Please do not flood the channel http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ for pasting long texts it does not disrupt the channel. [webboard for Ubuntu: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269 : not an offical package].
<0> ^^ boha_
<8> NoWhereToTurn, breezy to dapper is actually pretty simple. apt simply does not support skipping releases
<3> Does Ubuntu dapper work with serial mice???
<0> NoWhereToTurn: yes
<21> I cant listen my music collection in mp4/acc
<0> gerardomt: using what player?
<2> crimsun_, tnx
<5> nickrud: if you do "shopt -s dotglob" then "*" will include dot files; do "shopt -u dotglob" to get things back to normal
<21> I already downloaded the gstreamer faad and the gstreamer faac
<15> hmm.. Orinoco anyone?
<6> crimsun_: Running strace on that command shows aplay seeming to hang at this syscall: open("/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p", O_RDWR
<21> But i dont know hot to compile them and install them
<3> nickrud well according to the website there are a bunch of steps that are recommeneded to be followed
<0> gerardomt: apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
<12> Ayabara, is it scsi?
<6> crimsun_: There isn't any sound coming from the speakers, either.
<5> B***etts: "shopt -s dotglob" then "/bin/rm -fr /files/*" will remove all the stuff in /files/ without removing /files/ itself.
<0> gerardomt: (you'll need universe and multiverse enabled)
<8> dooglus, I'll note that, thanks. I kept mc around for various things, that was the last important one left
<6> crimsun_: I think I'll try logging out and in again to free those devices while GNOME is configured to use ALSA. It's a long shot, but worth a try.
<5> nickrud: "shopt -s" is pretty ugly I think, and only works in bash - don't know if there's a more general way to do it
<7> eyequeue: no, it's ide I think ( noob :-) ). It's an inspiron laptop
<0> gdb: ok.
<2> crimsun_, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15568
<8> dooglus, I'm perfectly happy with that bash thing, thanks again
<12> Ayabara, my ide are /dev/hda, not /dev/sda
<23> so I was just trying to install windows so I could play games, but aborted because it only showed one partition when there were supposed to be 4...
<8> not like i delete a lot of dotfiles all the time anyway, so ugly is relative
<23> now it appears there really are only 4... anyone know of anything I can use to recover the data?
<12> Ayabara, any chance that's a factor?
<20> I have a Thinkpad T40. I had a USB keyboard for a while... and ever since using the USB keyboard on the laptop, the keys on my regular keyboard are not mapped correctly in X. How can I fix this? My xorg.conf doesn't look any different!
<7> eyequeue: hmm. maybe it is scsi then. looks like I managed to create the fs. should I just use 'defaults' in fstab?
<24> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15569 someone can help? i want to upgrade brezzy to dapper
<8> NoWhereToTurn, which website? the advice here has been sudo "update-manager -d" for a while now
<12> Ayabara, yeah, use defaults at first at least, tweak things later if needed
<5> nickrud: this works too: /bin/rm -fr /path/to/directory/{*,.*}
