Comments:
<0> zcat[1], i've been through it too ;)
<0> feeling like a worthless pile of dung
<1> any feature requests for EasyUbuntu?
<0> and then it just starts working again
<2> I hate teh intarweb some days!
<0> but i don't see the reason why dhcp updates your IP every 20 mins
<1> any feature requests for EasyUbuntu?
<0> kbrooks, huh?
<3> salmiak_, basically because the server wants to free the IP unless you tell it that you're using it once in a while
<1> !tell salmiak_ about easyubuntu
<2> South Korea probably doesn't have the msot clueful techies..
<4> zcat[1]: quite the contrary
<4> zcat[1]: I lived in South Korea for two years
<4> a) they have the fastest internet in the world
<5> I think 95% of the country has internet in there home
<4> b) they have some of the best hackers in the world
<2> I lived there for four years.. but that was about 30 years ago.. :)
<5> My connection is silly fast
<4> I lived there last year :)
<6> Ask yourself whether you are still ontopic please
<0> interesting, kbrooks
<4> heh, I just saw the attack on South Korea, and it's one of my favorite places in the world, had to defend it
<0> kbrooks, i'll try it out and see if there's anything i want to request
<1> salmiak_: ok
<7> how do I play vmw files in ubuntu?
<2> what's a vmw ?
<7> wmv
<5> speedie were you using ubuntu in Corea
<2> ahhh...
<8> serp: w32codecs
<2> !w32codecs
<6> kbrooks: in terms of nonfree software available at no charge, you've got it covered as far as I am concerned.
<8> !+w32codecs
<9> I heard w32codecs is a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install. To use w32codecs on a 64-bit system, see http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54399
<6> kbrooks: a flash solution for amd64 would be nice.
<2> thanks.. is that how you do it :)
<1> soundray: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=170204 < by the way
<8> soundray: i think someone downloaded and installed it from site and it worked on 64 bit
<1> soundray: the solution is apparently a chroot
<7> that url doesn't work
<1> gnomefreak: wow
<10> hyperstream, turn that off, and leave it off - in a channel with over 600 in it its madness
<6> gnomefreak: yes, I know, it's on the wiki even, but it's technically unsatisfying.
<1> gnomefreak: i'm gonna ask some users
<8> zcat[1]: its longer than the limit so for those you need to use !+
<2> I got shockwave working.. wine + winetools + windows firefox + windows shockwave plugin..
<2> still no luck getting MSIE to run in wine
<6> zcat[1]: on amd64?
<2> no, on 32bit
<11> when dapper comes out, will the update manager take care of it? I mean, will I get offered a slew of package upgrades and just need to accept them to be dapperized?
<2> I think amd64 still hs the same problem running wine too..
<10> vanden, that is how an upgrade works
<1> vanden: u
<1> !upgrade
<9> [upgrade] Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade. Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades . Note command line: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the bleeding edge.
<1> read this please
<11> ompaul: thanks, wasn't sure if major ones were different.
<12> omg
<8> i think that is all changing when released
<12> ompaul, thanks for pointing that out i didnt relise :/
<2> vanden: in theory.. but a lot of people had trouble upgrading to breezy that way, and I just tried it.. it went badly
<1> zcat[1]: well, dapper is pretty stable
<8> eh
<6> zcat[1]: no, you said you used dist-upgrade, didn't you?
<11> zcat[1]: that's too bad. Badly how?
<8> not really for xubuntu
<1> zcat[1]: for flight7 status
<2> badly everything broke
<8> seeing its borked all kinds of ways
<6> zcat[1]: vanden, upgrades with update manager are more reliable than with apt-get, I hear.
<2> otoh I have done all kinds of ugly hacks that most people probably wouldn't have to deal with. I was overdue for a clean install anyway :)
<10> vanden, before one upgrades one should always do a backup of ones home directory, it is always a good Idea from this perspective to have two things when you go do upgrade, a live CD and an install CD
<10> vanden, for this reason a seperate /home is always useful
<11> ompaul: good advice. The cd's aren't going to happen. I'm on the road with a very thin pipe :-(
<2> My stuff's on /dev/hdd so reinstalling isn't a major h***le..
<1> vanden: thin pipe?
<10> vanden, wait until you are near a big pipe and ask someone to get you the disks
<11> ompaul: The seperate /home -- do you mean a dedicate /home partition? I was a bit surprised than breezy didn't install that way by default.
<10> kbrooks, pipe = bandwidith
<0> vanden, yeah, i was too
<13> nid help
<1> ah, ompaul
<13> can someone help me???
<14> I'm trying to install mplayer-586 on my computer. It is a 686 system and I get a dependency error: libdirectfc-0.9-20. Any ideas how this could be rectified
<0> tell us your problem, haboy :)
<10> vanden, how to choose that for a user, sanely
<6> vanden, salmiak_: it's more fault-tolerant for a fully automated install.
<13> whats the superuser acces???
<10> !root
<9> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
<10> haboy, ^^
<13> whats the superuser acces???
<0> haboy, like administrator in windows...
<1> soundray: fault tolerant?
<13> who here knows about turbo gears???
<11> ompaul: "how to choose that for a user, sanely" Sorry? I don't understand.
<1> haboy: what about it?
<13> do you know it kbrooks
<13> do you know it kbrooks??
<1> haboy: just ask
<10> vanden, how to partition the disk - some people want lots of apps and little data and others want different layouts
<13> i'm having a hard time installing it
<13> maybe u know it???
<6> kbrooks: setting up a single data partition during an automated install leaves fewer points of failure than subdividing into root and home. It also makes it easier to set up extra partitions to your liking after the fact.
<13> kbrooks: u wouldn't ask if ur not on it
<11> ompaul: I see. Yes, no general solution. My expectation was formed form a previous effort with mandrake. (I love ubuntu as it is the first that 'just worked' with my laptop.)
<10> vanden, :-)
<15> anyone awake?
<13> kbrooks:???
<8> haboy: what type if file is it?
<10> soundray, that was to me and vanden
<1> haboy: ...
<2> zZzZ
<15> whoa there are lots of people in here
<1> haboy: dude.
<16> yes, many
<13> what kbrooks??
<6> vanden: setting up a single data partition during an automated install leaves fewer points of failure than subdividing into root and home. It also makes it easier to set up extra partitions to your liking after the fact.
<0> fid_: yupp
<15> i'm setting up an irc server and I need someone to test it from outside my router...
<8> not even 700 yet :(
<15> can anyone help me out?
<1> haboy: #turbogears
<6> ompaul, it was also to kbrooks
<13> kbrooks: can u help me with it?
<16> fid_: you shouln't ask that in here...
<16> fid_: unless you're pretty sure of the volume of your link
<13> kbrooks. its not a game. if ur aware of it??
<1> haboy: i'm not a teacher
<15> i'm not terribly worried about it
<2> !ask
<9> Just ask. Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise and on-topic. Information like hardware make, model and output of commands that you used pasted onto http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org is important.
<8> haboy: give me a site for it please
<1> haboy: GO TO #turvogears
<11> thanks all. later.
<15> just asking someone to try it out really quick
<13> gnomefreak: it's for web development
<15> see if it works
<17> does ubuntu have native support for .wmv files?
<2> try what?
<13> gnomefreak: it's for web development
<15> connecting to my irc server
<2> captine: no
<1> captine: not iirc
<6> captine: no, it can't be supported by a fully free system
<15> i'm on the same side of the router as the server so I can't tell if its working right yet
<2> captine: but you can load w32codecs
Return to
