<0> I'm trying to get a dual head, extended desktop arrangement for the VGA port on my ThinkPad T43, but I'm having problems finding good advice around the Web on setting it up.
<1> nickrud, did you get my answer?
<2> pingveno: well hey :) I am on a Thinkpad T43. How can I help?
<3> i'm trying to obtain permission and i'm gettigna a little lost ........in th inittab file i'm trying to change the permission from "id:2:initdefault:" to level 3......... I keep getting no such file or diectory
<4> HIGH-FREQ: To my knowledge, yes
<2> jafonux: make sure you are using sudo
<5> cafuego: ok i hope it goes fast then...hehe....
<0> fyrestrtr: have you done anything with the external monitor?
<2> pingveno: yes, it works great.
<2> pingveno: even when docked :)
<0> extended desktop and all?
<6> jafonux, well, what is the exact command you are entering to edit the inittab?
<0> Or just duplication?
<7> Hey, anyone know of a commandline-based CPU temperature program?
<8> fyrestrtr: that is what i am doing.
<9> blaze, no I hadn't. Could you put your /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ ? (in that terminal, gedit /etc/apt/sources.list & cut & paste)
<6> jafonux, also, in ubuntu, runlevel 2 and 3 are exactly the same, so there is no reason to change the inittab
<10> is it possible to get two video streams playing at once?
<2> pingveno: no, not extended. I use it as mirror in my setup. But extended is possible.
<0> Ah
<0> I've got it working as a mirror, the problem is the extension part :(
<6> dell500, i don't see why not... just open up a coupla instances of vlc (or mplayer, or whatever), and have them go at it...
<9> dell500, sure, I've done that. just run more than one media player
<11> I'm making a media server. What directory should I store all the files I want to server?
<1> there you go, nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13772
<10> nickrud, well kaffeine won't run multiple instances for some reason
<11> like what's the standard to place to put media files? just /movies/ or something?
<9> AlmtyBob, /srv is a useful root dir for that stuff
<11> cd srv
<11> err wrong window 8)
<4> AlmtyBob: Whevever you want
<11> is that what it's there for?
<12> hmm question.. what if I have a tar file with the sh and an rpm inside for crossover office..
<12> I forgot how to untar..
<11> I just want to make sure I'm following some kinda convention, why I don't know
<11> tar -xvf tarball
<6> AlmtyBob, well, you can use just about any dir you want, really. just conf whatever software you use to serve them to use that dir as root, and you are good to go.
<13> any vim (specifically netrw) users? i'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the `press enter to continue` on a :w when editing over scp
<4> AlmtyBob: There isn't really one
<11> and can you mount two drives to the same folder without LVM?
<14> made, tar -xvf file
<12> thx
<14> should work
<1> nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13772
<11> and can you ahve some disks with LVM and some without?
<2> pingveno: are you using binary drivers?
<9> blaze, ok. close gedit. Then, in that terminal, type gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list . Enter your p***word. Then look for lines ending with universe and add multiverse to the end (there are four)
<5> cafuego_: why o why does it have to be me ;( lmao
<0> I'm not exactly sure, I just installed Ubuntu a couple of days ago. The only time I've gotten dual monitors working was when I was using Gentoo.
<15> so I just set my package selections back with dpkg --set-selections. how do I remove all other packages and make sure only those are installed?
<6> AlmtyBob, interesting questions... unfortunately i don't know anything about lvm.
<0> And, of course, I deleted all of the configuration files
<1> nickrud, can't i just type sudo gedit sources.list ?
<1> because it tells me "no write permission for file"
<5> cafuego_: ndiswrapper -i lsbcmnds.inf from the wpc54gv2 windoz drivers....then i ran ndiswrapper -l and says driver present..but doesn't say hardware present ;(
<15> HIGH-FREQ: you may not have the right driver, then.
<9> blaze, sudo gedit can be dangerous (if you change your preferences) gksudo is better
<12> OMG>> HEHEHEH I got it I got it
<5> hmm
<16> :)
<16> lol cool made
<17> hey I have a TVTuner Card. How do I install the drivers for it.
<5> d/l the wpc54g version 2 drivers ;(
<5> thats what i did
<5> hehe
<12> I have the PROFESSIONAL version now.. hehe
<16> wenko: do you have them yet?
<11> wenko: look up ivtv
<17> no
<17> ivtv?
<12> wink wink.. hehe
<16> made: legally? ;P
<11> www.ivtvdriver.org I think
<1> nickrud now what?
<12> wink wink
<0> fyrestrtr: how would I find out if I have the binary drivers or not?
<1> nickrud, i found the lines
<17> AlmtyBob would you prefer a PM
<12> w/e torrentz.com has to offer.. hehe
<14> why the hell does firefox not open my torrent files sometimes and other times it sends them straight to azureus like I told it to.... so inconsistent ^_^
<9> blaze, hm. to be safe, save that file to your desktop, and paste the new one on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ so i can see it
<2> pingveno: fglrxinfo
<5> oh ok....stupid me
<2> pingveno: you need to manually install them, if you didn't then you don't have them :)
<5> hehe...its a wpc54g"s" version 2 lmao
<16> made: hehe :)
<2> pingveno: the binary drivers from ATI have support for dual monitors in their control panel application.
<0> fyrestrtr: ah, I see
<1> nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13773
<15> HIGH-FREQ: so uh... how did you figure out what drivers you needed?
<1> i've backed it up :)
<2> lampshade: it probably has something to do with the site you are downloading from, and what mime type its giving the files. That's how firefox knows where to send it.
<15> HIGH-FREQ: it's best to do `lspci |grep 802' and google the chipset.
<0> Are they manual install (aka, .tar) or available from universal?
<5> lspci didnt' even detect it or somethin
<5> its pcmcia
<15> HIGH-FREQ: ah.
<5> and i've never worked with pcmcia
<15> HIGH-FREQ: don't have much experience dealing with those.
<2> pingveno: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI (read the Using drivers from ati.com section).
<5> me neither....hehe
<1> nickrud, are you with me :D ?
<9> blaze, it should look like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13774 . Once it does, save it as /etc/apt/sources.list
<14> fyrestrtr, well the weird thing is it pops up right, with "This file is of type TORRENT" and the box is still already checked from last time that I want to auto open it with azureus... that's what is weird. I mean it remembers the box choice for that type of file so why not roll with it even if the mime type is slightly messed up :-/ '
<1> ok, sec.
<2> pingveno: the default drivers (the non ati.com ones) have a famous bug with suspend/resume support. In that it will corrupt your display when you resume.
<2> lampshade: because TORRENT != torrent
<9> famous among ati users, maybe ;)
<0> fyrestrtr: interesting... I haven't had any problems with either
<2> lampshade: and 'slightly messed up' can lead to 'large f*ckup' if you are not careful :)
<14> but then it should only happen once because I then rechecked the box for TORRENT as well
<1> nickrud, now what?
<2> pingveno: are you sure you are using binary drivers?
<9> blaze after you've saved it, close gedit again, and in that terminal type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplayer-mozilla
<1> sec.
<2> nickrud: yeah, this is my first (and only) ATI chipset PC. I freakin' hate ATI.
<18> hi, how can i figure out exact version of my Linux from command shell ? thansk
<2> noname1024: uname -a
<1> E: Couldn't find package flashplayer-mozilla
<1> again..
<1> but the update went through :)
<9> fyrestrtr, my fear is that I'm gonna have to learn ati because I need a decent laptop ...
<2> nickrud: no, you can find nvidia-based laptops.
<18> thanks, fyrestrtr
<14> pingveno, there is an excellent guide in the forums that really helped me do the whole ATI thing. Seems to be good to go now. I can play Doom III (not well but I can)
<19> is doom III for linmux free?
<14> neg
<19> how hard is it to install?
<14> not free
<1> nickrud, E: Couldn't find package flashplayer-mozilla
<1> ?
<14> you actually copy files from the windows disks from the store and then just download and innstall the linux launcher basically
<17> hey I have a TVTuner Card. How do I install the drivers for it.
<9> blaze, you probably didn't get a good sources.list ;( Don't worry too much, you're not alone. Open a fresh gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and paste again :)
<10> how do you force quit something?
<14> the neat thing is, windows it made me put in the cd, but with linux it doesn't require me to use thecd which I liek
<1> and then what?
<4> dell500: start the system monitor, right click it, kill it
<9> dell500, alt-F2 xkill, and click the window to kill
<15> HIGH-FREQ: surely there's something on the wiki about it.
<2> pingveno: I had mixed success with WoW. Because my card only has 32 MB RAM, I couldn't play it on full screen resolution -- had to use Windowed mode. Also had to use the directx, not opengl -- opengl caused all sorts of artifacts that I had to install patches for. It was a big PITA. nVidia's binary drivers don't have such issues.
<10> sys mon isn't working
<1> nickrud, i've pasted it again
<14> dell500, if you know the name of the program you can do killall name in a console I added a little icon on my tray for XKILL when I need it.
<0> fyrestrtr: with WoW? impressive
<9> blaze, I don't see it
<1> oh, in the page, w8
