Comments:
<0> amphi: sudo su <- that helped very much ;)
<1> Laibsch, why ? doesnt it work for you ?
<2> When booting, I get an error like "FATAL: radeon, something about symbols..." however, when booted and ready, I can do "modprobe radeon" with success. Does this imply that my modules are loaded in the wrong order?
<3> can someone help me to install gtkpod?
<4> Chimera321: What is the default location for the desktop?
<3> apt-get won't work
<5> does anyone in here know a program in linux that will convert movies (mpeg, avi, divx, etc.) to a 3gp/mp4 format?
<6> Your version of automake is too old! Please upgrade to
<6> version 1.8 or higher.
<7> does anyone use naim?
<8> Mosi: I think Seveas was referring to skipping the init step, and just doing 'sudo p***wd' instead.
<9> Florian-T: ;)
<10> ok cool thank you. And for the screen resolution .... how do i change the log in one?
<9> whiter: vo=xv
<6> Your version of automake is too old! Please upgrade to
<6> version 1.8 or higher.
<1> brad, sudo update-alternatives --config automake
<11> SomeFoo: /home/yourusername/Desktop
<12> oh
<4> ok :)
<3> !repos
<13> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
<14> ogra: I have the 386 kernel installed. It runs very slow. I am in the process of installing the -686 but I think I remember that the -686 from Debian did not run. So I recompiled on Debian.
<7> tonyyarusso: you know, some how i just didn't think of that. I guess when i tried it, i tried 'sudo p***wd root', and that doesn't work
<12> works perfectly
<15> anyone know anything about mplayer here? When i play a movie id like the subs to be below the movie not on the movie...
<16> piggah: i would remove my gnome config dirs but then again i have nothing to lose...
<5> anybody?
<6> thanks
<9> whiter: naturally ;)
<15> anyone any ideas?
<12> i think ive knocked up a functioning OS now
<12> :)
<1> Laibsch, right, -686 wont work ... the via chip isnt compatible to 686
<12> got bittorrent working
<12> java
<12> mplayer
<12> xmms
<12> hrm
<17> pulver: how would i go about doing that?
<12> latest firefox
<14> ogra: I guess I'll recompile then
<6> thanks
<4> chimera321: Heard of cedega?
<18> have any of you tryed to install easyubuntu? it seems i`m getting some problems. when i try to graphically execute it retrieves me: kdeinit could not launch gksu
<1> Laibsch, i have such systems myself but didnt tyr yet with 586 ... you might want to try that first
<11> SomeFoo: yes
<12> easybuntu?
<4> chimera321: If you heard of steam (Valve), I want to use it with cedega. Do I download the exe?
<18> yes
<18> easyubuntu
<19> 586 should work. iirc it's the cmov instruction that's missing.
<20> hello? sorry I'm totally new to using ubuntu and I'm totally lost can someone help me out or show me where I can get help? I just transferred from windows XP
<21> ogra, cd image is reported as valid
<7> c13: the only way i know is 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', but you have to reconfigure everything in X that way. it's not hard, it jsut takes some time and some common sense.
<14> ogra: I did not yet see that type in aptitude on ubuntu
<11> SomeFoo: I don't know, there should be a tutorial somewhere, I'm not really a gamer
<22> jie: this is the ubuntu help channel - you're in the right place
<0> jie: ask a question
<11> Somefoo: try google or look it up in the wiki
<21> ogra, i can just retry, but i am willing to bet it hangs again
<1> Laibsch, ah, right ...
<8> jie: Start by checking out the wiki, forums, and this channel, and you should be all set. Any specific questions to start you off with?
<14> ogra: How is your speed? md5sum works slower than on my underclocked P1@100 MHz!
<10> Mosi, anf for screen resolution i got 1600x1200... default, so to set a log in resolution... how ? system>preference>screen resolution and if i set.. my default one will the log in be it to you think?
<4> chimera: Got a link? Website is down (some parts)
<20> ok right now, all I'm trying to do is update my firefox
<20> its 1.0.7 and I want to upgrade to 1.5
<11> SomeFoo: wait a second
<8> !tell jie about firefox1.5
<20> is that possible? or is 1.5 an XP only release
<20> oh
<20> excelle
<4> !tell Somefoo about video cards
<3> jie: you can install 1.5.0.1
<14> Something must be wrong with the setup. I'l investigate later.
<9> jie: what does 1.0.7 lack?
<1> Laibsch, i didnt really do performance tests, i only use the C3's for thin clients where network performance counts moire than cpu
<8> jie: Definitely possible. (I did it.)
<4> !tell Somefoo about nvidia
<20> the ability to install some extensions that I'm used to having
<23> !tell |TBird| about firefox1.5
<9> jie: ah
<7> c13: oh, i didn't quite get it the first time. That i don't really know much about. As far as i know, it just uses the highest resolution configured by default, but that's the way i like it so i never tried to change it.
<18> had anyone installed easyubuntu cause mine says: kdeinit could not launch gksu
<14> ogra: I also do not expect a power horse. I wanted it as a energy efficient LAN and web server.
<14> I'll fool around
<20> ubuntu's wiki is down right now :(
<4> Yep
<16> piggah: well there's dirs in your home directory starting on .gnome and .gconf but removing them would probably do more harm then good
<4> ****s :(.
<4> Oh well.
<1> jie, maintenance work
<0> !tell Florian-T about firefox1.5
<20> yeah, I figured
<11> SomeFoo: http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Steam
<18> had anyone installed easyubuntu cause mine says: kdeinit could not launch gksu ?
<14> !xserver-xorg
<13> Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Laibsch
<11> SomeFoo: first thing that came up on google
<21> so whats the deal here.. should i just not* use dapper, or is there a bug report/ workaround for failing on usplash install???
<20> does the text turn red whenever my name is in it? or are you guys doing something special
<21> i really don't want usplash anyways
<8> |TBird|, Florian-T: If you're telling yourself, you can also do /msg ubotu firefox1.5 instead.
<24> Is XServer "something" that is required for Gnome, KDE or some other GUI ? Do Gnome, KDE, etc. "sit" on top of XServer ?
<22> jie: your IRC app does that
<9> jie: probably yr client highlighting yr nick
<19> peter__: yes, and yes
<23> tonyyarusso: cool, it wasnt sure what bot was doing the telling :)
<20> ohhhh. ok ok
<0> :) k, i will remember that
<25> hey guys, is it possible to run windows in Ubuntu using vmware?
<7> does anyone know how to either, 1, get wine to work on a PPC, or, b, a good alternative to wine on a PPC?
<26> !w32codecs
<13> well, 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
<7> aside from Cedega, no money for it
<9> chris86wm: probably - you can with qemu
<20> ok, now onto another thing. I'm ***uming you guys used Windows XP at some point so you know what I'm talking about. When I want to modify an installed program, usually I go to a folder called "Program Files" and extract files or modify files in there
<20> where do I do this in ubuntu?
<25> amphi: so use qemu instead of vmware?
<18> had anyone installed easyubuntu cause mine says: kdeinit could not launch gksu ?
<27> how come when i do apt-get install vlc, it looks like ***?
<27> as in m***ive fonts, horibbly beveled
<9> chris86wm: depends - qemu is Free - qemu.org
<27> ubuntu 5.10, gnome
<25> amphi: thanks man, i will check it out
<7> suspended: maybe you need to do some simple appearance config?
<28> suspended: yeah it's ugly, try qt3config or like so
<21> sigh... anyone? I see people asking such simple questions, but mine seems beyond anyone
<23> jie: use apt-get or Synaptic to install packages, then forllow the package docs
<29> does ubuntu keep track of what services are started on boot? I'm just preventing some services from launching on boot and wonder if ubuntu would get mad if I simply mv S25bluez-utils K25bluez-utils
<30> Hello, when I run Warcraft III through Wine everything works fine, EXCEPT if I start multitasking, then the Gnome menubar will appear and steal the top pixels of the screen. Can I somehow make the menu go away temporarily (i.e. without removing all its settings)?
<8> jie: Do you have a specific instance? It could be in a number of places, depending.
<9> calyth: that is not the way
<29> amphi: ok then what's the correct way?
<22> jie: Linux sorts files differently, aand keeps track of them better than XP
<2> calyth: perhaps you should use something like "sysv-rc-conf"
<0> jie: generally it is no good idea to modify a program that way, unless you know what you are doing. use a package manager like Adept for installing software
<2> calyth: it's a program that lets you set runlevels of different services... remove all for services you don't like
<29> ok.
<24> Can any graphical application run under both KDE and Gnome or the graphical applications are created for either Gnome or KDE but not typically for both ?
<22> jie: when the Ubuntu servers come back up, have a look at this, it's the easiest way to install stuff in Ubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
<2> calyth: or even look into 'InitNG', a different init/services system
<20> k thanks you guys you've been a huge help
<1> peter__, yes#
<21> looks like a just found a new translation for ubuntu... windows for people who like linux
<8> peter__: Either is fine, although some are somewhat optimized for one or the other, and you'll need extra libraries.
<29> Engla: I wouldn't need that. This machine is just a bit short on RAM, and not hooked up to printers or bluetooth or what not...
<0> jie: youre welcome :)
<31> Good night
