<0> from memory, automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'ynYn'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation.
<1> !automatix
<2> not if it wasn't on the restricted formats page
<3> karen_, and you can't change it in System - Preferences - Screen Resolution ?
<4> ;)
<5> oops....

<0> easyubuntu is an easy-to-use program for installing all your favorites. Java, Nvidia/ATI, and more. It is as safe as the team can make it. It doesn't change any settings by default. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ or #easyubuntu
<7> tristanmike, no, I had a hard time doing this before, I'

<7> tristanmike, I'm putting ubuntu on a new computer

<15> does somebody know how to dmz with smartAX MT800
<16> anyone got any tricks to optimise ubuntu as server?
<17> n8 all
<10> erUSUL: are u there ?
<6> lusepuster: the echo stuff makes it automatically say say to things when apt says "This will break your computer! Are you really sure?"
<6> err, say yes
<7> tristanmike, how do I get that again, and how do I get pastebin, it's been so long since I've had problems
<18> how can i get evolution to minimise to the sys tray ?
<3> !tell karen_ about pastebin
<12> lusepuster: you'd be saddened by the numbers of folks who've had their boxen wrecked by it
<19> I downloaded bbips as a .sh. I can open it with "sudo sh "location of file", but the images I create are owned by root. How can I install bbips from the .sh file?\
<20> gopi, you have to set some variables in the file. edit it. also you need to create a directory named /var/cache/freevo. you need to install some dependencies too. i think is to much work for newbie
<5> mikeazorin, , but easyubuntu lets you easily install all the restricted foormats and so, I would guess the codecs would be there
<21> I am reminded how much I hate doing tech work on Windows... bloody windows ME
<22> ompaul: is it you that has been pinging me?
<4> jest polski room?
<5> nalioth, I believe you.
<1> selinium, no
<13> durga right-click and click "hide"
<12> jacek: in #ubuntu-pl
<7> tristanmike, now what did you want pasted there and how do I get that file?
<20> gopi, have you tried to look for a prepackaged version or to use mythtv?
<4> dziki
<10> erUSUL: I tried to create directory... but its not possible to create directory in /var/cache !!
<14> karen_ : sudo geti /etc/X11/xorg.conf
<3> karen_, "gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" paste that

<23> does anyone here used mpg321?
<5> bumping my ol question again; is there an easy way to run an already-existing windows install as a guest system in Ubuntu, sorta like MOL does it on PPC?
<24> Howdy. I just updated to dapper drake, and oowriter is no longer installed and it says there's a dependancy issue. Anyone know what that's about?
<10> erUSUL: yes mythtv I struggled a lot to install :(
<20> gopi, you have to create it as root. with sudo.
<3> !tell orn about dapper
<10> erUSUL: Others like Zapper and TVtime viewer.... i am getting audio but no video :(
<12> orn: join #ubuntu+1
<24> oh, thanks
<25> I changed my desktop theme to "Clearlooks", but when I select text, it still turns brown. How do I change the colour of the "selected text background"?
<26> Lusepuster: Short answer: no. Long answer: yes.
<23> lusepuster: if you can image the drive with windows on it, try qemu or bochs
<27> Celestianpower: try this: host -v archive.ubuntu.com 212.159.13.50
<4> na #ubuntu-pl jestem tylko ja ;/
<20> gopi, mythtv is in repositories you only have to fire up synaptic and install it
<26> If you define easy as "hacking a few text files, making too many symbolic links, and imaging the drive", then yeah, it's easy.
<10> erUSUL: FYI, mine is an Athlon64 system but Iam using Ubuntu for AMD64
<5> Mosi, image it? It's on a separate partition on the same disk
<20> !tell gopi about mythtv
<28> lusepuster, the problem there would be that your windows installation would be looking for the hardware it's set up on, a vm offers virtual hardware
<13> jacek, sry it's #ubuntu.pl
<23> lusepuster: i don't know how to work with that. but try dd'ing the partition to a file, and run that file in the afore-mentioned programs
<7> tristanmike, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10024
<23> lusepuster: i'm sure there are other ways to do it, but that's what i would do
<5> Mosi, sorry for not knowing much... dd'ing?
<29> Hello, I'm new to Linux and Ubuntu. I've installed with the default desktop installation but when xwindows starts the graphics is all wierd. Does anyone know how I can change the xwindows video mode?
<26> Weird? How so?
<22> !logs
<0> Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, selinium
<27> Lani: what video card, vintage of machine, monitor model?
<3> karen_, what if you change the refresh rate, does that give you access to other resolutions ?
<28> Lani, you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf but make a backup first
<25> tristanmike: I changed my desktop theme to "Clearlooks", but when I select text, it still turns brown. How do I change the colour of the "selected text background"?
<27> Celestianpower: still there?
<23> lusepuster: dd is a command-line program to raw-copy binary data from a device, like your hard disk. but you need to know the start and end block of the partition, that's a little tricky to get
<29> cwillu: eh, it's kinda a long shot, but it's Microsoft Virtual PC ;)
<3> Munchkinguy, I don't know, I don't use clearlooks
<7> tristanmike, can't change refresh rate
<27> ah
<30> cwillu: Yes
<30> Sorry
<29> anto9us: ok thanks, i will look there, thank you!
<27> did you get that last command? :)
<30> cwillu: Which?
<27> Celestianpower: try this: host -v archive.ubuntu.com 212.159.13.50
<25> tristanmike: Then, how would I normally chage the selected text background colour?
<28> Lani, "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup" then "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
<23> does anyone know where i can get an mp3 plugin for XMMS, for PowerPC?
<19> how can I install a .sh app?
<3> Munchkinguy, idk
<28> Lani, to quickly restart X without a reboot press ctrl+alt+backspace
<29> anto9us: ok! thank you very much! trying right away!
<23> pablo: .sh usually means just a shell script. It's not really a program, just a single file that runs shell commands. It should run from anywhere.
<4> navarone, thnx
<27> This is linux, and saturday: you're expected to be giving this your full attention dammit :)
<30> cwillu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10025
<20> pablo928, maybe sudo sh *.sh
<5> anto9us, scandinavian?
<3> karen_, when you did the dpkg-reconfigure, did you have an option of selecting "nvidia" as a driver and not "nv" ?
<28> lusepuster, no, I'm English, I live in Wales
<23> pablo928: does it not run where it is at the moment?
<29> anto9us: ok, thanks again!
<27> Celestianpower: hmm :/
<27> that looks right
<20> pablo928, Mosi it can be a shar self-extracting compressed file
<30> cwillu: Be back after a reboot
<27> k
<23> erUSUL: i see ^_^
<5> anto9us, Okay... 9 in the scaninavian languages is pronounced somewhat like 'nee', so it'd fit w your nick :-)
<19> Mosi:rthe shell script which I would like to install as an app is bbips. I emailed the maintainer and he add4ed another function to it which isn't available through the repos yet.
<25> poningru: Perhaps you can help me with a problem?
<5> Mosi, about that guest system... seem like using wine is a lot easier...
<28> lusepuster, my nick is meant to be pronounced as antoninus :)
<31> sigh
<31> dude randomly pinging people is not cool
<23> pablo928: erUSUL has corrected me, there's an archive format also tagged .sh, that's probably what you have. He seems to know more about that than i do ^_^
<31> whats wrong?
<5> anto9us, Hmm.... rest my case then :-) I'll keep saying 'antonius'...
<32> has anyone here gone from mandriva to ubuntu and stayed?
<24> anyone know of a program that is able to open oo documents apart from oo?
<33> hey hey
<34> ho ho!
<31> orko: koffice
<33> where do I get azureus for dapper?
<27> pong
<23> lusepuster: i'm on PowerPC, so i've never used Wine, since there's no PPC version. Like is aid, i'm sure there are other ways that i don't know about, some probably easier. that's just what i would do.
<25> poningru: How do I change the background colour of background text?
<28> swim, I went from mandrake to debian to ubuntu and stayed
<31> dang`r`us: you cant install azureus easily using apt-get because of dependence on java
<31> !tell dang`r`us about azureus
<32> anto9us, can you remember what you like more about ubuntu over mandriva?
<31> Munchkinguy: what do you mean?
<5> Mosi, okay. I'm normally a ppc uder myself, and I love Mac-On-Linux and hoped for a kind of Windoze-on-linux here on my mom's box
