<0> 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
<1> erUSUL bbips was originally written as a bash script, I downloaded the newest version from the site as a .sh
<2> lusepuster: give here wine
<3> swim, mainly the package management system and the repositories
<4> poningru, thanks (I have java, but now I also have a link to the .deb!)
<2> !tell lusepuster about wine
<0> poningru, don't get ya?
<0> poningru, I know about wine, thanks
<2> oh ok
<5> lusepuster: there are a slew of programs that will do that, but i don't know much about most of them. I would recommend looking into VMware
<6> I've got an oven pan that I warped by accident; how can I unwarp it?
<5> lusepuster: er, VM
<7> can sombody help me with html
<8> is there a keycombo for exiting xwindows? not only restarting it
<3> swim, also, ubuntu is a great community driven distro
<5> cwillu: /join #kitchenware
<0> Mosi, thanks
<6> :p
<5> jmoncayo: what do you need?
<9> poningru: I changed my desktop theme, but when I select text, it still turns brown. How do I change the colour of the "selected text background"?
<10> pablo928, it is a simple shell script just make it executable and owned by root and place it somewhere in your path (/usr/local/bin is a good place)
<11> anto9us, because I used to use small distros like CRUX, and then Archlinux, but then I wanted something bigger that would "just work" so I could get more work done... unfortunatley although in a lot of ways I like ubuntu, i find a few things dont "just work" so Im considering trying one of the other big ones like Mandriva, or OpenSUSE
<2> oh
<2> Munchkinguy: uh that should have changed with the theme
<7> Mosi: can you see if the apache server is up in my ip
<3> swim, what are you struggling to get working?
<4> arch lost me because of too much stuff breaking
<4> now I'm running dapper and so far no meltdown ... good thing
<2> Munchkinguy: try another theme
<11> anto9us, at the moment mostly burning... audio, as well as data
<5> Lani: Xwindows is set up to respawn whenever it's killed in /etc/inittab. you probably don't want change that, but if you press ctrl-alt-F1 you can switch to a text terminal
<9> ok
<5> jmoncayo: URL?
<3> swim, have you enabled dma on your drive?
<8> Mosi: ok, thank you! :)
<11> anto9us, I dont remember can I check from cli?
<5> Lani: sure :)
<7> Mosi: http://200.107.52.212
<5> Lani: ctrl-alt-F through ctrl-alt-F6 are also terminals, giving you six to work with ^_^
<5> Lani: F2
<3> swim, hdparm /dev/hdc
<12> Lani ND CTRL ALT F7 WILL BRING YOU BACK TO GUI
<12> oopps sry for caps
<11> anto9us, hmm using_dma = 0 (off)
<5> jmoncayo: it's taking a while to connect
<3> ubotu, tell swim about dma
<2> swim: !dma
<13> hello
<2> or what he said
<8> ah ok, thank you all for your helpful input :)
<7> Mosi: so it doesnt work?
<5> Lani: no problem, glad i could help
<13> I am in need of ***istance. Would there be anyone here willing to help me?
<5> jmoncayo: it's going to time out, it's been like a minute already
<4> Silent_shadow900, just ask your question
<5> Silent_shadow900 what's wrong?
<7> Mosi: is that for some firewall blocking port 80??
<14> how can i trouble shoot my MIC?
<13> well, I've been trying to boot with the Live CD, but nothing happens when I restart the computer with the CD in the drive
<13> Is there an option to boot the computer from a CD?
<15> Silent_shadow900, you have to enter your bios and change it to boot from cd
<0> okay, if anyone can help, my dist-upgrade has stalled on some dependency problem...
<12> Silent have you changed boot order in bios so that puter tries to boot from cd first?
<5> jmoncayo: i'd be willing to bet if you have a firewall, it's dropping all packets to port 80
<13> How would I go about doing that
<13> ?
<16> hi
<5> jmoncayo: or it may not be letting server responses back to me
<15> Silent_shadow900, in most cases it's "Del" when the computer first boots up during the ram check
<6> Silent_shadow900: it's different on every computer :/
<13> oh
<15> Silent_shadow900, "del" as in the "delete" key
<13> because there's a split second before it boots windows when I start it up
<16> can i see the .* files?
<17> could someone tell me why when i use 'apt-get install some_app' apt-get asks me to run 'apt-get update' and downloads a huge file (about 2 mb). I downloaded it 10 times already!
<2> Silent_shadow900: when you start up your computer look at the msgs at the bottom of the screen in that split second
<15> Silent_shadow900, it should say somewhere when you boot "Press BLAH to enter setup utility" or similar
<11> anto9us, ok Ill set it up but, why isnt that under some regular ubuntu setup guide, that tells you everything one should setup theyre system like before everything works well
<12> Silent when the computer is first booting wait for message about setup and press appropriate key...usually "del" then you should be in bios setup and you can arrange the boot option so that it tries cd drive first instead of floppy or hard drive
<6> Celestianpower: hey there
<18> my touchpad is really slow and not responding to xset changes. anyone got a clue how to make it more sensitive?
<13> alright, thanks guys
<19> cwillu: Hi
<2> Sunbug: what do you mean?
<19> cwillu: Mic just blew up
<2> err Sunky
<6> neat
<2> Sunky: what was your question dude?
<3> swim, it's a very young distribution, it's all coming together though, the wiki contains lots of useful stuff
<2> malta_: hmm you have to do that everytime?
<2> malta_: or periodicly?
<20> why are the icons the same sizein ubuntu even when my resolution is cranked all the way up...ive seen this with other distros, both gnome and kde
<20> is there a cmd to change this?
<5> malta_: when you run 'sudo apt-get update' it does something liek going to all the listed repositories you have in /etc/apt/sources.list and re-downloads the complete list of packages available from that repo. probably what's happening is the file you want just isn't available from your repos, so it htinks you need to updatee your list.
<20> like "Appearences" in windows background
<17> poningru: time to time. looks like every time where i turn on the PC
<11> anto9us, yes I like the wiki, but I wouldnt have been aware of that without asking in here and having people know what I should do
<21> Man, xubuntu rules
<21> i love it
<12> Sunky if you mean files that begin with "." then you need to enable viewing hidden files from the "view" menu option in Nautilus
<2> leogibson: icons are always the same pixels
<3> swim, as I say, it's a great community driven distribution :)
<2> size
<20> i dont really like that
<6> Celestianpower: next up; do a host archive.ubuntu.com <dns ip>, running it once for each dns ip address you had; tell me if any of them show that warning message
<20> is there a way to change this? using the terminal?
<20> it reminds me too much of those kids MACs wed use in primary school
<2> leogibson: what icons do you mean? like the ones in the windows?
<2> like on the desktop
<8> When I try "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" I get this error message "(gedit:6131): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open displa:"
<20> the icons on the desktop and the toolbars on all windows
<2> or the ones in the menu
<2> well the ones on the desktop are variable
<2> right click on it
<22> leogibson, you mean gnome?
<23> I upgraded from breezy to dapper and now gnomad2 doesn't work. I think it is because udev makes USB devices readable by root only. What's the fix?
<3> swim, I think dma being enabled by default my cause more compatibility issues than it solves
<17> Mosi: I got it. But I downloaded a simple soft like gppp, gftp, mysql-server, apache.
<20> gnome yes
<22> leogibson, just the gnome theme (ugly human?)
<24> !dapper
<25> The next release of Ubuntu is Dapper Drake - /join #ubuntu+1 for discussion
<23> needless to say it works if I use sudo. But I don't want that obviously
<6> !tell jaldhara about dapper
<20> but is trhere a universal setting
<24> jaldhar, ^^^^^^^
<2> leogibson: right click on it and click stretch
<20> yes gnome breezy and dapper
<23> aah. Right ho then
<5> Lani: that's because gnome is running on a different server, there is no graphics to run gedit in from that terminal
<20> is there a way to apply a certain size to all toolbars menus and icons all at once?
<26> Lani: well, it means you can not open the disply for windows.
<20> windows does this very easily
<22> does it?
<19> cwillu: No errors
<26> lani: Where are you typing this in?
<27> anyone here use gizmo?
<22> leogibson, i got fed up with ugly huge gnome icons and installed fluxbox, but that was a mission in itself with font sizes etc
<5> Lani: you can either run that command with the --display=0:0 option to run it in gnome, (which it sounds like is not working), or you can use a connad-line editor instead
<22> now i use xfe
<20> xfe ok
<6> Celestianpower: okay, next, when you were repeating resolv.conf to me over and over again, were you reopening it each time, or did you just have the editor still open from before?
<20> thanks
<12> flux___, me too
<8> dabaR: I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 in XWindows and got to a prompt
<12> xfce
<22> navarone, you must be a minimalist too ;)
<8> Mosi: Yes I need a command-line editor :) got a name? ;)
<19> cwillu: Still open
<5> Lani: command-line, that is. i like vi
<8> Mosi: ok!
