<0> i just installed dapper and my sound pci card no longer works it was working great with breezy how can i fix it
<1> yarr: sudo apt-get install ssh
<2> think isntalling an rpm package on windows
<3> yarr: that's the "normal" way to install things on ubuntu
<3> odyssey: #ubuntu+1
<4> lol yeah
<5> sorry guys but the second version of limeiwre I have no clue of how to install
<1> forget limeire, apt-get install amule
<2> byron, sh file.sh
<2> !limewire
<6> first you need !java, then download the http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and unpack it. Then just run the runLime.sh file. Voila. Consider !frostwire as an alternative.
<2> ^^^ it tells you there
<7> Hey everybody, anybody here had trouble with Kaffeine not finding audio CDs? I get "No AudioCD in drive or wrong path to drive." It provides a drop-down, but there are no options in it. Any ideas how to fix it? I'm running Dapper.
<5> any help?
<5> tips
<5> I cant even find a readme
<5> wiat
<5> envermind
<2> byron, did you unpack the tar?
<3> VideoToaster: #ubuntu+1
<5> it unpacked into a fodler
<2> byron, now you should beable to just run sh limewire.sh
<4> cool got it
<2> but before installing make sure you have latest java
<7> Hyphenated: Whoops, sorry! Thanks for the new IRC channel!
<8> hi guys, i wanted to buy a graphic card for my new pc. I would like to know if a brand or another of videocard matters... a part of the chipset, obviously. For example, i've seen at a good price a WS Geforce 6800GT 256mb... what about it?
<5> ah ****
<9> Nihil_85: im drawing all my pixels by myself :(
<5> I got the limeiwre installer to work
<10> Nihil_85: people here tend to have more trouble with ATI than with NVidia.
<5> but now it says i need to upgrade my java
<5> anyway to do that wihtout reinstalling a non ubuntu version
<11> nvidia support on linux has traditionally been pretty good.
<12> Just use gtk-gnutella.
<8> iNiku, in fact the gforce is from Nvidia
<2> ubotu tell byron about javadebs
<8> soundray: it isn't an ATI one
<10> Nihil_85: it would be so nice if there was a third way... No graphics chipset manufacturer supports free driver development decently.
<2> byron, please read the pm ubotu sent you
<5> is htere any way to get to a java version of higher then v 1.4.2 on linux wihtout using a non ubuntu thing
<10> Nihil_85: I know. Take it as encouragement.
<5> just upgrading present version
<10> Nihil_85: what are you planning to do with your computer?
<2> byron, java is non-free so you have to install java
<8> soundray, iNiku: i wanted to know if the brand, the producer of the card is important, or if i only have to see the chipset
<12> byron: Just use any other Gnutella / G2 client, Limewire is just a big slow one with ads.
<8> soundray: work with linux, play with windows
<12> There are many much nicer ones out there. :P
<2> byron, if you have java 1.4 than thats fine just run sudo update-alternatives --config java and pick the 1.4 java
<10> Nihil_85: I'd just look at the chipset, and go by price otherwise.
<11> Nihil_85: yep
<13> byron: Try out gtk-gnutella, it works great once you (finally) get the hang of it
<8> iNiku: yep means that i only have to see the chipset?
<14> Where is a howto for building a source file?
<10> Nihil_85, I like p***ively cooled cards, but that's just a personal preference.
<15> !compiling
<6> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware
<11> Nihil_85: okay, as far as I know you can always use nvidia's reference drivers on any geforce card
<14> thanks hymtolife
<11> Nihil_85: so that means the brand name shouldn't matter
<16> STUPID cave spiders 8(
<16> angband makes me sad 8(
<8> iNiku: and the card is always good, right?
<13> daryl_: (in console) untar it, cd into it's folder, run ./configure, run make, run sudo make install, enjoy
<11> Nihil_85: you mean one brand is as good as another?
<8> yes
<11> Nihil_85: not necessarily... even if the geforce core is the same, the surrounding design may be of lesser quality so you get a softer picture or something
<8> this card's from "SW"....
<11> Nihil_85: but from the linux compatibility point of view, AFAIK any geforce card will do fine, no matter what brand
<8> iNiku: the technical specifics are the same of a Sparkle or Asustek
<11> soundray: just consider the MHz (or even better, MIPS or some similar benchmark) on your computer with a 25MB HD, compared to today's CPUs
<12> It's less often a matter of "softer picture" than how well it benchmarks or whether it comes pre-ovarclocked or such.
<12> And the speed/quality of the RAM they're using, which mostly just effects overclocking.
<11> Floid: true, but there are also differences in the quality of the picture different cards can push out, especially when you approach the limits
<11> 1900xsomething at a high refresh rate over analog
<12> I'm sick, though, I'd still rather deal with ATI's half***edness than nVidia's binary blobs.
<11> probably less of an issue over DVI
<17> does anybody installed ubuntu in a compar r4000
<17> ?
<11> Floid: the nice thing about nvidia's binary blobs in my experience has been that they mostly work
<12> Heh, true.
<15> ufa > mine is a R3000, pretty close I guess
<18> hi! is there anybody here who can help me edit my xorg.conf for tv-out? i've tried some guides but i cant get it to work..
<11> and you get access to all the features
<10> Floid: are ATI drivers anything other than binary blobs though?
<12> I still hate their business practices with that, though.
<12> There are half***ed open source ATI drivers that work well enough if you just need a desktop.
<12> 2D desktop, rather.
<11> Floid: agreed
<17> HymnToLife > what version?
<12> And then there are the half***ed binary ones, but at least you don't "need" them for the NIC and the rest of the chipset. :)
<19> does ubuntu log its startup into a file?
<11> but at least nvidia actually supports linux
<5> now this is starting to piss me off...
<11> which can't be said for a lot of other companies
<5> I upgraded my java
<18> or maybe help me find a good guide..
<5> and it still says that my version is low
<15> ufa> hmmm, I read, compq sorry, my mistake :D
<15> compaq*
<12> For some reason fglrx has this weird sort of overlay bug when using GL on the bottom quarter of a 1280x1024 screen on an Xpress 200, speaking of.
<2> byron, did you run the command i gave you?
<5> I wrote java -version to check version
<20> hi
<5> it said it was in right version
<21> hello!
<5> quel command
<2> byron, sudo update-alternatives --config java
<17> it is compaq my mistake]
<15> hmm
<2> byron, pick the newest version you have by typing the number
<15> then it is an R3113.EA if I remember well
<12> So, uh, anyhow... there's no chance the sd SCSI-layer block device interface created for a USB floppy could p*** for a fd-style block device, is there?
<17> it is hard to make it work
<17> i made with vesa
<21> question: I have ubuntu (Breezy badger) and don't know how to get ndiswrapper up... I got some thing called "ndiswrapper-utils" from symantptic (SP?) and i can't figure out what to go no
<21> now*
<15> ufa> everything worked ootb for me
<17> but i would like that ATI driver working
<2> ufa, what are you trying to make work?
<15> except the crappy winmodem
<17> ati mostly
<10> jacob_: have you tried ndisgtk?
<15> I just sticked with the defaults
<10> !info ndisgtk
<6> ndisgtk: (graphical frontend for ndiswrapper (installation of Windows WiFi drivers)), section universe/net, is optional. Version: 0.5-1ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 10 kB, Installed size: 104 kB
<17> HymnToLife>>what version of ubuntu r u using?
<2> oh ati drivers thats HymnToLife's area lol
<15> it works well enough for Frozen Bubble :D
<21> soundray: is that on the symantic?
<5> thanks
<12> Oh, yeah, one thing that ****s about the open-source ATI drivers is that they don't appear to do DDC properly on most chipsets. :P
<10> jacob_: synaptic, yeah
<18> does anybody have a working dual-view with nvidia? maybe i can watch your xorg.conf file?
<21> ty
<22> I need help, I've read the How to on modems, but I still dont understand. I dont know which driver I need. I have two modems, a Conexant(pay I think) and an Agere one...
<22> Neither Will work.
<23> can someone help me with adding permission to write to a dir to a usr
<17> is there a new opensource ati driver?
<17> since the breezy launch
<12> ufa: Is that a Radeon?
<15> Chad> did you read the HOTO on linmodems.org ?
<24> what program can convert wmv to 3gp?
<17> ya
<22> Yes
<17> radeon xpress 200
<22> I dont know which modem I need, which driver.
<12> fglrx is the closed-source driver, but you can install it, follow the instructions, and at least it will do DDC for you... which may get you a viewable display, if you're having trouble with the open-source drivers.
<15> Chad> they have tool to identify the chipset on there
<12> AFAIK the open-source ones haven't changed in that regard lately.
