<0> dooglus, cool, I want that. I'll add it
<1> nickrud: yes I do
<2> phoghawk: type "id" in a terminal to find out what your userid is
<3> Where do I set HD space for users?
<0> dooglus, okay
<2> phoghawk: it's 1000 for the first user created, 1001 for the 2nd, etc.
<4> RancidLM: I installed with the wide aspect monitor connected. It did not autodetect.
<0> dooglus, mine is 1000 too
<0> dooglus, okay
<5> mystamax: "You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x"
<2> mine is 501, 'cos I migrated from mandrake linux and didn't want to change all my files to be uid 1000
<0> dooglus, okay, what are the charset and codepage things?
<2> phoghawk: it's to do with "funny foreign letters"
<6> KickStand, gotta step out for less than 5 minutes. brb
<7> bjones: wierd i have a laptop and ubuntu 5.10 and 6.06 both auto detected a wide screen.. have u looked int your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for your resolution settings?
<0> dooglus, is it a big deal if I don't use those frequently?



<8> RancidLM: long time no see :D
<2> phoghawk: no
<1> nickrud: okay
<7> HedgeMage: OMG! HedgeMage !!!!
<3> Where do I go to set HD space for users?
<2> phoghawk: it's only to do with 'funny foreign letters' in filenames, anyway. file content will be fine either way.
<9> hey, what should i use to burn an iso
<2> phoghawk: you might just see filenames not showing up quite right if they've got french accents or whatever.
<0> dooglus, neat, what about the codepage? also, is there any negatives to adding that charset. I suppose I could do it just for safety
<10> how can i find out what my video card's bus identifier is?????
<2> phoghawk: I don't know anything about it really, but I think they're both the same kind of thing.
<2> phoghawk: codepages were an early, primitive attempt to solve the problem that charsets solve properly. or something.
<11> Anyone know about Ati and Opengl problems, as in crashes...?
<0> dooglus, I'll just add the codepage and charset options, just in case
<12> Can someone link me to that sources.list builder for dapper?
<13> ehm, anyone seen this before?
<3> Where do I go to set HD space for users?
<2> rendo: do you mean like giving each user a disk space quota?
<3> Yes.
<13> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jun 24 23:49:26 2006
<3> I have quota installed, I need to know how to GIVE them a quota :P
<4> RancidLM: It detected as a "Generic Monitor". All I get is 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480
<9> Does anyone know of a simple program to burn isos with in dapper?
<14> cdrecord
<10> enable framebuffer device interface???
<7> bjones: and thats probly gonna have to change.. id try chaning the resolution to something that the monitor is capable of
<15> ati install didn't work
<15> can someone help?
<16> mystamax, use Synaptic then :)
<2> rendo: I saw a web page about it once. "quotatool" is a tool for editing quotas though.
<9> klees, something gui?
<11> How do i create an partition from "free space not available" that can be used by ubuntu and windows?
<17> URGENT QUESTION: i want to download the dapper iso, but which do you recommend (i've heard bad things about the desktop cd) the Desktop, or Alternate ?
<6> KickStand, ok, That's what this guy is running, and he has a trivial complaint :) Cut and paste his Section "Modes" into your xorg.conf, and see where under Section "Screen" he has a Modes "1680x1050" line? Duplicate that in your xorg.conf also.
<17> ...im on 128mb ram
<18> okay- what the hell, I'm trying to install ubuntu to /dev/hdb, and all I keep getting are I/O errors
<19> Hi... I am having trouble getting my desktop to display at anything besides 800x600... I didn't have this problem until I installed the nvidia-glx driver... any suggestions?
<20> 128?
<17> yep 128
<1> nickrud: yeah, will i have to restart x afterward?
<21> eh
<21> how do i run a binary file?
<20> I have that in my nfs box and it doesn't even have x installed
<2> rendo: there's this: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Quota.html
<21> i downloaded that google earth for linux thing but i dont get it :/
<6> KickStand, yes, log out of the desktop and then hit clt-alt-backspace
<2> nekostar: 1. "chmod +x file.bin"; 2. "./file.bin"
<1> it kills all programs correct?
<6> KickStand, if you log out correctly, no.
<21> oo thanx dooglus
<21> forgot the +x then :)
<19> also... it seems I can only set my refesh rate to 60hz
<6> the_Kane, alternate
<22> hi, anyone else having problems with amaroK under dapper? whenever I try to play an MP3 file from a Samba share, the whole thing freezes.
<17> nickrud: thanks
<22> I used to use amaroK to do this with Fedora Core without a problem... but I believe I also used the GStreamer engine, which doesn't seem like it's available for Ubuntu Dapper.
<23> i thought gstreamer 0.10 was in dapper
<22> So, because amaroK is freezing, I go to use Rhythmbox, and that freezes at the first welcome screen... :(
<23> 0.8 was in breezy



<24> anyone help? I'm trying to get compiz working... when I enable the composite extension in my xorg.conf, the next time I try to load an x session, it 'freaks out' and drops back to the login manager screen. It works fine if I take out the composite extension (but I can't load compiz). Im running nvidia 8762 drivers...
<16> cparker, gstreamer *is* available under Dapper (but it's not good, IMHO)
<23> i'm no sound guru, don't know if that makes a difference
<1> nickrud: Okay not only must I have logged out wrong but it didn't fix my resolution either
<6> XGL is evil, pre beta software
<24> i know, im just messing around with it
<22> hastesaver: I'm not seeing an amarok-gstreamer package...
<24> just wondering if anyone had run into that issues
<24> -s
<15> ati help anyone?
<16> cparker, have you enabled mp3, BTW? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats ?
<6> KickStand, it's really hard to fix hardware over the net, especially with hardware that does not report itself properly
<1> nickrud: Yeah I understand. What a pain in the ***.
<25> who's the artist of that club song named check around? i can'T find it out...
<26> im having a problem where samba doesnt fully install, how do I fix this with apt-get, i forgot the command
<6> KickStand, You need to find a ModeLine that works.
<1> nickrud: I'll try. Isn't it odd that that guys didn't work though?
<1> nickrud: He had the same monitor I do
<23> sudo apt-get --reinstall install samba ?
<6> KickStand, I had high hopes for that one, especially since it was on a mail list from freedesktop
<19> anyone have a working nvidia-glx?
<6> KickStand, and no one called him on his config there
<22> hastesaver: thanks for that link... do you know why there isn't an amarok-gstreamer package in dapper?
<18> blah- why won't it perform I/O to the drive?
<18> -to+on
<27> what run level does ubuntu run on?
<24> eob, i am.. just a little bit.. I just found this: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8762/README/appendix-s.html
<24> "The NVIDIA driver does not yet support the GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension. This extension is used by OpenGL-based composite managers, such as Novell's Compiz, to use X pixmaps as OpenGL textures. Support for the GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension will be provided in a future NVIDIA driver release"
<16> cparker, I don't know, really. But once you've got mp3 (and all the others) enabled, I think amarok might work fine.
<6> KickStand, you could try commenting and uncommenting his other modelines (it's what I'd do) but I offer no promises
<22> hastesaver, thanks again. :)
<16> cparker, the package amarok-engines installs all of them (according to the apt-cache show page)
<23> nano, 2 3 4 5 are the same, 2 is default
<1> nick rud, that is what I plan on, how can i restart x without rebooting ubuntu again?
<24> im pretty sure thats saying that current nvidia drivers dont support composite
<27> eyequeue: i want to disable mysql and apache to startup...so which rc*.x folder should i look into?
<6> KickStand, you must restart X every time.
<6> KickStand, just don't open anything that matters while you're troubleshooting
<28> There is no more amarok-gstreamer
<23> nano, man update-rc.d, for the Ubuntu Way
<22> hastesaver: perhaps that package--amarok-engines--is in a non-standard repository?
<1> nickrud, got ya thanks for your help
<27> eyequeue: k, thanks
<28> to get xine working, you must install libxine-extracodecs.
<28> (Hope I actually understood what was going on with the previous amarok question)
<6> KickStand, luck to you. So, I'm 3 of 5 on lcds so far ;(
<22> hastesaver: right now, I just have the default repositories that came with dapper.
<16> cparker, perhaps. But amarok-xine and (if you're using KDE already) amarok-arts should be better, right?
<29> Hello!
<22> hastesaver: I'm using Gnome. I'll see how amarok-xine works once I have the mp3 "issue" sorted out... it's just that on other distros, I've had the best luck with amaroK's GStreamer engine.. i'll see how it goes, though. thank you.
<28> cparker, amarok gstreamer is no longer supported by the amarok team (hence there won't be one) as far as what I understand from my own reading.
<6> as best I read it, it's either amarok-xine or armarok-arts
<28> I had a lot of trouble when I installed amarok, cause I couldn't find the gstreamer plugin myself. It took reading restricted formats again to figure out why xine wasn't playing MP3s. (you need to install amarok-xine and then libxine-extracodecs
<30> hey guys, what player would you put forward as a good allround player for dvd, avi and so on. vlc? xine?
<28> I like xine better then arts myself :)
<19> Meek: Thanx... I tried disabling that... I need to do a reboot now to reload the driver... I'll let you know if it works
<16> acke_, mplayer or xine
<30> movie player kindof ****s, i cant add subtitles to movies when i use it
<31> i used to be able to access the network drive, now all i get is the authentication request over and over?
<24> eob84: i couldnt even use gnome when I had composite enabled
<16> acke_, sure you can. mplayer <filename> -subfile <subfile> (or was it -sub? )
<24> oh he left..
<30> ooh thanks
<30> gotta try sometime
<32> hey
<16> acke_, but use xine if you're comfortable with it already. It's better in some ways, and worse in others.
<33> I have a high resolution video I'm watching, but it occasionally stutters. is there a way i can devote more system resources to my video app to prevent this?
<15> anyone in here care to take a stab at my ati issue?
<32> How can I change to use GNU jre instead of sun's?
<28> Is there a preferred app for obtaining expose like functionality? (is skippy or expocity better then the other or is it just personal preference?)
<16> I wish someone would write something to make xine have mplayer keybindings. As I understand it, xine's keybindings are fully customisable, so it should be possible...
<6> fairy, it's all personal prefs, since it's alpha software
<2> Rede: you could renice it
