<0> dooglus: I know.
<1> help?
<2> KickStand, sure, you probably need to fix your resolution in xorg.conf, see !fixres below for the web page
<2> !fixres
<3> Help to fix the display resolution is available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
<4> hey thanks peeps I just resized my /
<5> what do you mean?
<6> Aeo: I think the livecd can also be used as a boot disk, I know the text-mode CD can... otherwise you can always tell grub to install itself on a removable disk. What version of windows is it? some have a "repair" utility that will take over the MBR without having to re-install the whole OS
<7> KickStand: he means read what ubotu said
<5> ah now I see thankn you
<4> Amarok is not playing MP3. What else is needed ?
<5> thank you that is
<6> Aeo: (BTW, I'm a maGe, not a maZe, so I don't get highlighted when you type "hedgemaze")
<2> KickStand, hm. Ubuntu tries to read your monitor and get the best config for it, the web page makes up for it's lack
<8> HedgeMage: It's XP, and I've already used the "fixmbr" command as I've encountered a GRUB error 21 earlier tonight.
<8> HedgeMage: And my apologies.
<8> cge: That definitely sounds like it'll work, but could you elaborate more on adding the menu.lst?
<9> can everyone help me with totem ... i cant see .avi files
<6> Aeo: I haven't done it on XP, sorry, fixmbr should do it though, I think
<2> planetcall, are you using 5.10 or 6.06 ?
<10> kiroh: kiohttp://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/codecs.html
<11> kiroh: Have you installed the codecs?
<4> 6.06
<12> does anyone have experience using thunderbird for gmail? I get a timeout whenever trying to connect to pop.gmail.com
<0> Aeo: I think the disk should be mountable. If it is, you can just add the menu.lst from /boot/grub/ on the hard drive onto the floppy.
<2> planetcall, install libxine-extracodecs
<8> cge: Do I also install GRUB on the floppy? In what directory should I put menu.lst?
<13> !flash
<3> Installation & troubleshooting for Flash is covered in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
<10> kiroh: that link helps you?
<2> planetcall, you will need to enable the multiverse repo, if you haven't type !multiverse in this channel for instructions
<0> Aeo: if you search for the GRUB website, there are floppy disk images there. I think you should be able to mount the floppy disk after writing the image, and make a grub directory, and put menu.lst in it. But I'm not completely sure.
<4> nickrud, thanks bro. it helped :)
<2> planetcall, all is good then :)
<14> hello everybody
<4> nickrud, unfortunately I also have some wma/wmv files. any extra codec/lib for that ?
<14> !help How to download torrent file using wget command ?
<10> nickrud: you using kde?
<15> planetcall, win32 codec
<16> Well, I finally got dapper to boot from /dev/hdd1 and yet, the device.map file has drives pointing to seemingly correct drives but it doesn't seem to effect grub, hd1 is pointed to hd3 but I had to change the default root in menu.lst to hd3,1. Its as if it's ignored. Any ideas?
<2> planetcall, also install w32codecs. See !restricted for that
<17> ardy, you mean the file.torrent ? or the Data torrent it is to download?
<2> !restricted
<3> restricted is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats. This page's intent is to enable you to play most non-free media formats that are not DRM encoded. Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats.
<4> i dont see it in synaptic
<18> hello
<4> k
<2> planetcall, it isn't, because ubuntu cannot distribute it
<18> is there any1 who coild help me get a duplex sound :(
<10> nickrud, planetcall I found it in apt
<4> k
<14> Dr_Willis, Data torrent to download
<19> k got it working :)
<4> DShepherd, whats it exact name ?
<8> cge and HedgeMage: Thank you for your time. I'll try it in the morning.
<0> Aeo: Good luck.
<10> planetcall: w32codecs
<2> DShepherd, well , you have non official sources :) I'm thinking about just putting plf into restricted formats, it seems pretty stable
<19> how on earth does one enable a second grfx card and second monitor?
<11> planetcall You can look into easyubuntu or automatix to automatically install them for you.
<17> ardy, you use a torrent client. not wget
<6> Aeo: np :)
<16> !twinview
<17> Paladine, nvidia?
<3> Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, garryfre
<8> cge and HedgeMage: If you'd like me to report with what I did (in case this interests you, perhaps), you can drop me an email address
<19> Dr, aye
<10> nickrud: hmmm.. I think your right
<19> I have dual 6600GTs in this box
<4> DShepherd, I dont know why I dont see it in syn. I have almost all the repos activated :(
<10> planetcall: check out restricted.. nickrud i think I downloaded the deb.. my bad
<14> Dr_Willis, yes I want to download it without using GUI
<10> planetcall: my bad.. i followed the wiki at restricted and downloaded the deb.. you can get it thru synpatic
<10> planetcall: srry
<16> It has to do with setting up twinview. Not sure the best way to do that, but I would google for twinview and the version of ubuntu you are using.
<17> ardy, there are console based torrent clients. 3 of them that i can think of off hand.
<0> ardy: What do you mean without a GUI. In a terminal, or without any GUI?
<10> planetcall: that's a cant*
<20> nickrud: I'm back :-) I got gdm to work again
<17> ardy, the original bittorrent has a no gui feature
<4> k
<18> anybody?
<21> mainline has a console client
<2> KanRiNiN, good on you :)
<11> planetcall: EasyUbuntu and Automatix can install all the restricted codecs.
<20> question: when I use bum to deactivate a service, why does it immediately reactivate?
<20> like bluetooth and nvidia kernel stuff?
<20> I don't need that loading
<4> rendo I tried EasyUbuntu and didnt find it good enough. I will try to do it myself :)
<16> I don't know about duplex sound. Sorry.
<21> anyone else having googleearth crash all the time under dapper?
<2> nice tools, as long as you use them very early in your install from what I"ve seen.
<0> ardy: There is btdownloadcurses if you want a curses based interface, or btdownloadheadless if you really don't want any ui.
<18> :(
<14> cge, Yes I want to download it using terminal
<11> planetcall: It worked for me. :)
<4> :)
<0> ardy: You probably want to use btdownloadcurses then.
<17> i perfer rtorrent for the console
<4> DShepherd, please go to http://www.ddindia.gov.in/ and see if you can see the streaming video in the left side. I can hear only sound but no video
<2> planetcall, but, there's a two line procedure on restricted formats that works every time, all the time
<4> its a microsoft format stream.
<14> cge, ok I make a try on it, but how to use command to download data torrent??
<4> nickrud, any link ?
<0> ardy: If you want to use btdownloadcurses, just do btdownloadcurses PATH_OR_URL_TO_TORRENT.
<22> question, how do normal people deal with sudo, in UI form?
<11> I yell at it.
<11> :P
<22> I can use bash for lots of stuff
<2> planetcall, https://wiki.ubuntu.com//RestrictedFormats#head-16ea04e7e1ecd06555912ba3f470b56563cbd85d
<23> Bot_Builde1, sudo su
<24> where is the sudo log kept?
<22> but I've really NEEDED it before for normal tasks
<0> pppoe_dude: !? Why?
<4> nickrud you too have a view on the link above i provided to DShepherd
<16> I note that googleearth has a version for unix, but it doesn't say linux. Perhaps there isnt' one for linux, but for some sort of unix system
<14> cge, where i can download btdownloadcurses?
<23> cge, 'cause
<24> garryfre, it works (somewhat) on my Dapper
<0> ardy: It should be installed by default.
<11> ardy sourceforge probably
<0> pppoe_dude: There should never be a need to use sudu su. Use sudo -s or sudo -i.
<13> !flash
<16> hastesaver Yep.
<3> Installation & troubleshooting for Flash is covered in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
<10> planetcall: it doesnt seem to be playing thru firefox.. but if I click it a new window opens and the mozilla mplayer tries to do something.. doesnt seem to be successful though
<2> planetcall, I get absolutely nothing from that site myself
<11> Me either
<23> cge, isnt sudo -s == sudo su
<14> cge, is gnome-btdownload is same as btdownloadcurses?
<0> ardy: No.
<2> I'm using the totem plugin
<16> there is gksudo
<25> i finally got ymessenger installed and how disapointing
<20> Question: what is the enterprise volume manager, and do I need it at boot?
<0> pppoe_dude: I don't believe so. sudo su runs two programs, whereas sudo -s only runs one.
<23> i c
<7> pppoe_dude: "sudo su" runs 'su' as root, whereas "sudo -s" runs a shell as root
<8> cge: During installation, I'm presented with an option to install GRUB onto a floppy, but this results in an error. Do you think this is resolvable or would it be best to try the method we discussed earlier?
<26> can i install xgl/compiz on the live cd?
<27> ***alamualaiku wr wb
<4> DShepherd, nickrud you should be able to hear the audio as I do. I cant see the video (using VLC) . Though, I can see audio,video on Windows
<24> And sudo -i is even better
<12> does anyone have experience with thunderbird and gmail? I always get a timeout when trying to connect to pop.gmail.com
<0> Aeo: I didn't know that was offered, but if it doesn't work, you probably should do what we discussed.
<10> planetcall: nope.. nothing at all
<0> KanRiNiN: You most likely don't need it.
<11> mcpowley Does it always time out?
<8> cge: Alright, thank you.
<14> cge rendo , ok thanks
<24> mcpowley, have you set the proper port number and everything? (I mean, did you follow Google's instructions exactly?)
