<0> Rede: you could renice it
<0> Rede: or use mplayer - it seems to play better
<1> Rede, you could also run it with -framedrop in mplayer, or the equivalent in whatever other app you're using
<2> i can't install the nvidia 3d driver (i did sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx ; sudo nvidia-glx-config enable) or something like that, but it didn't change anything...
<3> man, this is some of the crashiest piece of crap ever
<4> nickrud, alrighties :) I'll just try one then :)
<2> i went to console and tryed modprobing nvidia and it showed some error, that could not modprobe it
<5> renice?
<2> wtf
<3> I just added some pics to a OO presentation
<3> and it crashes, kindly offering to recover the document
<2> no such file or directory
<0> Rede: "man renice"
<6> fairy, I'm on a kick to kick xgl questions, maybe it'll take :)
<3> but then it crashes again
<3> and again
<7> hastesaver: Give it a shot then!
<3> on the document
<4> nickrud, well, I never did figure out how to get multiple dynamic xgl servers
<4> so I switched back to xorg.
<3> I know its not ubuntu's fault, but godamnit
<1> troy_s, aww.. .where are the people with the enthu to do these kind of things? :)
<8> crap
<8> I have I/O buffer errors
<0> Bot_Builde1: I know it's not PC to say it, but a lot of open source software is pretty crappy, isn't it? :)
<3> yeah it is
<7> hastesaver: Perhaps you aren't aware as to how community driven software / open source evolves ;)
<6> Bot_Builde1, ouch. I trust openoffice a lot,
<3> I used to
<3> It seems stable on windows
<3> but ubuntu....
<1> troy_s, I'll do it someday, I guess. I just wish someone else would do it for me :)
<7> hastesaver: It's from exactly people like you who go out and try a little bit, then others build on it.
<9> can someone explain this to me a little clearer? -> If you get an error about missing Composite extension when starting compiz, you probably tried to start it on the base Xorg server (which shouldn't be used for any program any more except for starting Xgl itself) and not on the Xgl server. Set your DISPLAY variable accordingly.
<2> google earth for linux is a static binary?
<6> Bot_Builde1, been using it for years, and never had something like that happen. Open office is my office
<3> yeah
<9> as in... where do I set my DISPLAY variable
<3> its my office on windows
<1> Bot_Builde1, KDE's office apps are very good, IMHO. You should try them if OO.o is crashing too much.
<10> Does anyone know how to change my system to use the GNU java instead of the Sun one?
<1> firefly_, update-alternatives
<3> I'm gonna have to text edit the file <>
<8> bah
<8> this drive ****s
<0> hastesaver: or try gnumeric/abiword
<6> Bot_Builde1, try #openoffice, or the open office mail lists. They wanna hear about this.
<0> same question to number 1
<0> nickrud: they want to hear about un-official packages crashing?
<0> nickrud: Bot_Builde1's having problems with ubuntu builds, not OO.org builds
<1> !tell firefly_ about java
<6> gnumeric is nice, so is abiword. But, I can't use them with my clueless windows compatriots. I got them using openoffice, gotta channel a real bug
<10> hastesaver: thanks, i'll look into that
<3> dooglus - I suppose. It could just be this is a newer, buggier version of OO
<0> nickrud: gnumeric and abiword both speak open document format
<6> dooglus, erm point
<11> Meek: Disabling renderaccel didn't seem to make any differance
<12> hey all, so im following a guide, how can i do this ? -add "/usr/bin/startcompiz"
<0> Fash: add it to what?
<6> it's not like this is debian, with all it's checks & balances. Or, is this the same build?
<3> Ah I know what the problem is
<1> nickrud, gnumeric and abiword actually look *more* like Excel and Word than OO.o.
<13> anyone care to help me with ati yet?
<12> dooglus, sorry i didnt paste the full message, here it is -add "/usr/bin/startcompiz" to gnome session startup programs
<3> Its not liking me draggin pictures right onto the presentation
<0> Fash: oh, I never got the hang of gnome sessions. the gnome session dialog just plain seems weird to me.
<0> Fash: but you'll find 'Sessions' somewhere in the system menu - that's the right place to be looking for 'startup'
<6> hastesaver, if you could tell me how to put a picture in abiword headers, I'd consider a change. (haven't looked in the last couple of months, true. Things change)
<11> Meek-: Disabling renderaccel didn't seem to make any differance
<1> nickrud, sorry, I don't know. I rarely use Abiword-like apps, anyway. I'm confused by them; I use LaTeX :)
<14> !tell tripppy unrar
<14> !tell unrar
<0> !unrar
<15> Syntax error in line 1. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, dooglus
<6> hastesaver, did you see the part about clueless windows users?
<9> eob84: whats happening for you?
<0> tripppy: "unrar" is a package in dapper. i breezy it's probably "unrar-nonfree" you want
<6> hastesaver, erm, supposed to be funny there, failed
<14> k
<0> !rar
<15> rumour has it, rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
<0> tripppy: your 3rd 'p' is trippping me out, man
<11> Meek-: Before I installed the nvidia driver I was able to use 1152x864... after installing it I can only use 800x600@60hz for my desktop
<6> Bot_Builde1, try using the insert picture option, it may work better
<16> what is the vnc SERVEr product for XFCE??
<6> mystamax, very good question, I don't think there is one
<0> mystamax: try #xubuntu or #xfce I guess
<3> nickrud - thats what i was thinking
<3> but first i need to fix my xml file
<9> eob84, hmm we're having dif problems then :o
<3> and gedit hangs on loading it
<3> so I'm using the bloody hex editor
<0> mystamax: I use x11vnc to share the current desktop
<14> dooglus: hehe, thanks for help. ubuntu roks. im putting one ontop of fridge.
<3> whos string search ***umes a null ender
<11> Meek-: What is the issue you are having?
<16> dooglus: is that something diffrent from a vnc SERVER?
<8> whee
<16> dooglus: could I do resumable sessions with x11vnc?
<0> mystamax: "vnc-server" shares a *new* desktop, not the one you're working on
<0> mystamax: resumable? how you mean?
<16> My goal is to be able to login to XFCE w/o having to have autologin or leaving a user logged in
<6> Bot_Builde1, without sounding to condesending (hopefully) I wish you real luck
<3> hehe
<3> thanks
<9> eob84, trying to just get xgl/compiz working... compiz says I need the composite extension, but that freaks my x session out
<3> ah, eclipse might work better for xml editing
<0> mystamax: that's default behaviour isn't it? no-autologin?
<11> Meek-: I see... Haven't played with that yet... one step at a time :-(
<0> Bot_Builde1: emacs21 won't hang on reading it.
<17> Hello everyone.
<0> hi Dirge
<17> I'm using Gnome, but everything I want to do (especially file tranfsers and file edits) require root access. How do I give root access to the current user?
<18> g'day mate
<16> dooglus: I don't think I could just restart a server, and log into the GUI remotely via VNC
<6> dooglus, could you recommend a major mode for emacs21 & Bot_Builde1 problem? I know it's the swiss army knife :)
<0> nickrud: he's currently using a hex editor... so "fundamental-mode" would be a huge step up
<6> dooglus, point again
<3> :P
<0> nickrud: also, xml-mode is an alias for ml-mode': Major mode for editing SGML documents.
<3> ah, i need to install emacs - working on it
<0> ooh, it didn't like pasting that. `sgml-mode', that was supposed to say.
<0> who told me it was a good idea to use ` as the 'escape' key in screen? I just found out why it isn't :)
<6> I'm gonna learn docbook in emacs if it kills me, and it probably will. I cry over source these days
<17> Am I supposed to go into terminal and use su in order to save a file I was editing in a GUI?
<0> Dirge: I use emacs21 to edit files as root
<6> Dirge, no, your gui should save somewhere
<0> Dirge: if you tell it to edit: /root@localhost:/etc/apt/sources.list then it sudo's to root, and edits the file as root in that buffer
<17> It will never allow me to save or edit files. The OS keeps altering the files into root access only.
<6> Dirge, if it's a file you need to write as root, save it to the Desktop and then copy or move it to the proper place with sudo
<17> And external HDD is root only as well.
<2> can anyone tell me why nvidia drivers dosn't work in the live cd?
<17> So I can't transfer to or edit anything there.
<0> Dirge: what filesystem type is the external HDD?
<17> NTFS
<3> ok, i open content.xml with emacs, nothing is on the screen
<19> which is the best videoplayer for linux?
<3> least, i think i have, i can't really tell because of the crap UI :P
<17> VLC
<19> that is compatible with all the codecs
<2> AJ004: vlc
<0> Dirge: that'll be why then. Linux has a hard time writing to NTFS, due to Microsoft's refusal to publish NTFS specs.
<6> Bot_Builde1, I was hoping to get you better help, so I'm bowing out now
<19> how do i install vlc?
<17> It'll write, but I need to go into terminal and su then copy.
<17> Why can't the GUI have root access?
<19> asdx: Is vlc in synaptic?
<0> Dirge: you can "sudo gedit" if you want to gedit as root
<17> That's a temp fix.
<3> Dirge - because linux people are like that
<0> Dirge: is it?
