Comments:

<0> how can I share an .avi file from an ubuntu laptop to a windows xp desktop?
<1> daneturner, it sees my ieee controler but not the ipod
<2> can anyone help me-my sound juicer application isnt working
<3> Urr, is there a reason why Alt-Fx or Control-Alt-Fx isn't changing virtual consoles for me?
<2> it wont let me extract files
<4> kditty: try using synaptic also
<5> kditty: if you do want to install from the tarball, you've almost certainly got the right filename. Might want to run it with sudo, e.g. "sudo /path/mo\zilla-installer-bin"
<6> ok, im just so used to windows
<4> kditty: you don't want to install TB from source...
<7> AngryElf: can you rule out hardware problems?
<6> well i checked under internet, where xchat and firefox and gaim are listed, but no thunderbird
<4> kditty: use a 'package' (.deb file) instead
<1> daneturner, it's chargine now through the ieee port, so i'm guessing that rules out hardware probs
<1> *charging
<8> NegativeSpace, after you do your reinstall, ask around here for some help with your /etc/apt/sources.list
<4> kditty: run synaptic and install from there - it's easy



<6> ok, so then should i just delete this un tar'd file and the tar file also?
<7> kditty: dpkg -l '*thunderbird*' on command line
<9> nickrud Okay dude, will do.
<8> NegativeSpace, see you around
<10> 'What command do I use in the shell to bring up the GUI?
<5> jerrod: happen to have them networked?
<9> nickrud Dude, thanks for your help -- much appreciated.
<4> kditty: I would ditch the tarball, yes
<6> ok thanks
<11> kditty, yeah, just delete those files. You can either get it from synaptic or you can just sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird
<8> NegativeSpace, hey I didn't chase you back to windows: I count that as a win ;)
<0> Managu: yea, i think i need to use samba. right?
<4> kditty: even easier than synaptic, just do: sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird
<9> nickrud Well, I'm dual booting at the moment... just don't tell anyone.
<11> kditty, this is ubuntu.. you don't have to go and download things off of websites to install software
<7> AngryElf: does iPod connect over usb? oops. then use lsusb instead of lspci. what does that output show?
<6> i wonder if it will be under add applications
<11> kditty, probably
<4> kditty: you could try that too
<6> ok, i know how to use that
<8> NegativeSpace, I've always been dual boot capable. I do play games now and then.
<12> i'm completely new to ubuntu and i'm trying to install some packages with synaptic but i am constantly getting a notice that dependancies aren't installable...what gives? gdm-themes, digikam, the list goes on
<9> nickrud Heh, totally. Okay I'm out -- once again, thanks.
<4> !tell dgriffin about repos
<5> jerrod: likely (groans). I'd definitely see if you can get everything working from within nautilus (sp?) first, though:
<4> e/a
<13> dgriffin: enable extra repos
<4> gah
<6> i just installed ubuntu 5.10 today, and only just now got my wireless card working. ubuntu is the only distro that auto detects my card but it had the channel wrong. that took me about 2 hours to figure out
<5> jerrod: e.g. share a folder on the xp machine with write permissions, and then try to find it with places->network servers->windows network
<11> dgriffin, first I'd recommend just running sudo apt-get update.. If that doesn't fix the problem then you can try enabling the multiverse and universe repos
<5> kditty: it gets easier with practice.
<14> linux is much different than windows
<12> universe isn't enabled by default?
<11> dgriffin, no
<3> Is there something I have to do to enable virtual terminal switching with the F keys?
<12> ah, ok...thanks
<14> different is the sense that trying to get things to run is a pain in the ***
<13> Zenethian: ctrl alt F will do it fine
<3> it doesn't.
<15> hi all
<5> Zenethian: shouldn't be. It all works fine for me. Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that maybe some X client you're running, or have run, grabbed the keyboard and didn't release it properly.
<13> hi Madpilot
<3> weird.
<3> that would make me mad
<16> alguem do brazil ai?
<17> just dist-upgraded (on dapper) and now I have a disk error upon startup aka can't get to grub
<7> Ramnath: yes, pain in the ***. but you're driving a tank now, not a sedan. if you learn the extra complexities you'll be able to take advantage of the power
<3> I think my control key is messed up
<3> hrm
<6> ok under add applications i found it but it says its unavailable and most likely not available for my platform
<5> Zenethian: hardware failure could definitely cause problems :-D
<18> How do I set what the default video player is?
<19> hello all---it looks like my xen kernel doesnt recognized boot=/dev/sda1 as a valid partition or somthing because on boot it says to check the boot= line of my menu.lst.. my default kernel recognizes it fine ...does this indicate that somehow ide isnt supported in the kernel or the ext3 file system
<6> The application can not be found in your archive. This usually means that it is not available for your hardware plattform.
<6> thats what it tells me
<20> nas
<6> maybe it just didnt come on the distro cd?
<3> Managu: actually it seems to work OK. But hitting Control-Alt-F1 when konsole is up gives me some goofy VT100 characters. Wacky.
<20> ahhhhh



<20> vale
<19> or am i missing somthing simple?
<19> my relavant boot line is module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-rc5 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0
<5> Zenthian: odd. Personally, I'd kill the running xserver (and everything else...) with ctrl-alt-backspace, and see if that fixes the problem
<5> hikenboot: whoa, /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1?
<16> to com uns probleminhas aqui
<7> hikenboot: you mean your root= line? or your root (hd0,0) line?
<20> vaya kernel mas capullo
<21> Anyone know of a flash creator for Linux
<10> CryoTox: Gimp has a good animation suite.
<10> Dont know if it's flash, per se, but it's good.
<22> hey guys it's not possible to install three distros on one hd is it (using the same swap, suse fedora and ubuntu)
<23> hey guys i'm running dapper and checkinstall is segfaulting, is there another way to create .deb's?
<14> warcraft3 still doesn't work even though i got wine
<21> MadPirateBippy: For flash?
<24> Hi, I'd need some help on the synaptic pakage manager
<14> i pop the cd in and nothing
<10> Blanky: Yes, it is.
<23> Ramnath: cedega or just wine?
<19> ah ok...so stupid thanks i put it on the wrong line ...sorry to bug you all with such a simple stupidity
<14> wine
<22> MadPirateBippy, really?! :D
<10> Cryo: Probably. Check out www.gimp.org
<7> Ramnath: whine
<22> I just thought there was a problem with something about max partitions or something
<23> Ramnath: that's prolly you're problem. get cedega
<14> great
<24> Does someone now why my files from /var/lib/apt/lists disapear?
<10> Blanky: I know someone who has RedHat, Suse, and Debian on his laptop
<24> And thus my Synaptic doesn't work...
<23> MadPirateBippy: what's the point
<22> MadPirateBippy, really? Okay then I'm going to do it too :D
<10> Cryo: Gimp saves in an amazing number of formats.
<24> Can someone help me?
<5> cedriczg: sounds really odd, not really much to go on there
<10> Johnny: the point is, he could do it. It was just a fun thing.
<21> bleh. brb
<23> MadPirateBippy: haha ok
<7> looking for suggestions on adding a CA Cert to Firefox system-wide.
<24> Managu, I thought that my problem was the sources.list file, but I think it's other thing
<17> just dist-upgraded (on dapper) and now I have a disk error upon startup aka can't get to grub
<5> cedriczg: first thought is, is /var or some subdirectory mounted in a wierd way?
<24> Managu, What other thing may cause the Synaptic not to start ok?
<18> How do I set what the default video player is?
<14> this is as fun as an aneurysm
<24> Managu, I don't think so?
<24> Managu, What do you mean?
<24> Managu, It's in my linux partition...
<5> cedriczg: why you run Synaptic, i.e. from system->administration->synaptic..., a busy-wait cursor comes up. What happens next?
<24> Managu, I have a strange file called "lock" in the /var/lib/apt/list that has 0bytes !?
<5> cedriczg: oh, that's important. Running any versions of synaptic right now?
<24> Managu, W: No se puede leer la lista de paquetes fuente http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No existe el fichero o el directorio) .....
<25> what is the command to view a pdf?
<26> hey, i have got problems with mounting a ntfs partition
<27> Does anyone know of a ubuntu live CD that comes with AirSnort?
<28> hi all. whats the channel name for ubuntu off topic .
<26> it's just accessable by root
<7> CarlFK: xpdf or evince
<24> Managu, You mean what version am I running?
<5> cedriczg: ugh, never learned that language.
<26> when i want to chmod the mountdir it says permission denied read only fs
<24> Managu, (my linux is in spanish :P)
<26> how would i mount it in a way my normal user could access it?
<25> daneturner: thnaks. thought it was xpdf, but that isn't installed. is that normal?
<29> Emmerac, if you are looking for a good CD for cracking and whatnot, chek out http://remote-exploit.org/
<8> cedriczg, you can safely delete that if you don't have synaptic, aptitude or an apt-get session running
<5> cedriczg: as nickrud suggests, delete the "lock" file, and try running synaptic again
<24> Managu, it means that the pakages from the source .... can't be read. And that /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_main_binary-i386_Packages doesn't exist
<7> CarlFK: not normal for a full Hoary desktop install. Not sure about Breezy. Do you have evince?
<24> Managu, i'll try that
<25> daneturner: yes. it is a dapper install. ill report it
<24> Managu, thank you
<5> cedriczg: np, hope it works
<5> wonder: How are you attempting to mount the ntfs filesystem?
