Comments:
<0> tonyyarusso: hmmm.... dunno than
<1> it takes 1 min with apt
<2> I'd like my user (Myself) to automatically have root access.
<3> Dirge, its supposed to be that freaking way. You (a simple user) are not root (the master of the universe, in the case, your os)
<4> kholerabbi: I was thinking along the lines of somehow just saying to send the modem device stuff through to the audio out, but I have no idea how that would work.
<2> Any way to do that?
<5> Dirge: can you give more information about your xorg.test example? how do you transfer it? what does an "ls -l" show on the source and destination of the transfer?
<1> anyone seen a common thread or wiki page for video problems on dapper?
<6> Dirge, why? that's uselessly risky and best avoided...
<7> Dirge: running as root is the stupidest thing you can do
<8> After installing the nvidia-glx driver I can ony seem to get my desktop to display at 800x600@60hz... any help?
<3> Dirge, no.
<7> !tell eob84 about fixres
<1> !video
<9> Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, concept10
<2> well, entering terminal every 30 seconds and manually typing a directory that's hella long is getting very annoying.
<10> Dirge, use tab completion for the directory
<5> Dirge: you could alias 'cp' to 'sudo cp', and so on...
<0> tonyyarusso: it may be possible to do it thruogh software - I really dunno .. I just got broadband - no dialup :) yay!
<7> Dirge: or, run one instance of a gksudod nautilus
<7> Dirge: and then don't accidentally hit 'delete'
<11> nano seems to hate the single lineness as well
<3> Dirge, once you wrap your head around who get's permissions to write where, you will very glad that you have to use sudo to write to /etc/X11
<11> but it sorta works
<6> Dirge, what're you doing that requires so much root access?
<4> kholerabbi: Hehe, all right. (I tried asking this before without luck, so low hopes here.)
<2> How to I alias every single folder so that I don't have to type /etc/X11/etc etc
<12> dooglus, are you still here? I need more of your lovely help
<5> phoghawk: I am. It would be good to help you again.
<6> Dirge, the Tab key is your friend. /et<tab>X1<tab> will get you /etc/X11 in half the keystrokes...
<5> phoghawk: the advice I've been giving recently has been travelling through 2 ears and 0 brains I fear
<2> I'm changing my system settings to allow for dual monitors, and it requires a LOT of testing. lots of startx etc.. And typing it all out over and over is very cubersome.
<12> dooglus, awesome, I decided to change one of the filesystems from vfat to ntfs, but now I'm having the same problems. I can't read or write to that partition
<5> Dirge: you can use CDPATH to quickly cd around the place if that helps
<12> dooglus, what do you usually put for your ntfs partitions, if you have any
<5> phoghawk: and umask=0 didn't help? (NTFS is readonly in Linux, anyway, by default)
<5> phoghawk: I have: /dev/hda1 /mnt/c ntfs noauto,umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,uid=501,gid=501,nls=iso8859-15 0 0
<13> How do I make it so my usb hd is writeable by non-root user when it's mounted? It's using ext3
<13> .
<12> dooglus, oh, so is there no way I can write to it?
<5> phoghawk: there is. everyone here will tell you it's not safe though.
<0> Could someone send me the wiki for installing java .. I had it but it seems to have gone to the moon
<12> dooglus, why isn't it safe?
<7> dooglus: that's because it's not safe. It's not an opinion, it's fact.
<14> phoghawk: writing to ntfs is a good way to lose your data.
<15> NO safe way to write to it.
<3> Dirge, I see your point about that; try cd /etc/X11 , it will give you easy access or xorg.conf, you won't have to prepend /etc/X11 to xorg.conf every time.
<10> Dirge, you can remember directories with pushd. man bash and read about pushd
<16> Hi, when i use serpentine to try to make an audio cd, i tell it to add an mp3 file (which xmms plays just fine) and it says "unsupported file type, make sure you have the gstreamer plugins". I'm pretty sure I have all the gstreamer stuff. Any ideas what could be wrong or how to debug?
<12> even if you just copy it to the ntfs partition
<6> kholerabbi, wiki.ubuntu.com/Java
<14> phoghawk: the problem is that microsoft won't release the specs.
<12> krazykit, silly M$
<5> phoghawk: see http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsmount
<17> Hey
<12> dooglus, okay, thanks
<15> Migrainesoft did not release all the specks for ntfs, and things keep changing. It can do strange things to nice try file system.
<5> Flannel: is http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsmount lying then?
<14> phoghawk: yes, you could possibly mess up other bits of the fs. read-only support is ok, but writing... is not recommended
<18> yeah, just dont do it
<11> what's sad is that m$ might have done something right when they wrote wordpad
<5> phoghawk: Microsoft keep the inner workings of NTFS secret, so Linux can't write to it with guesswork...
<11> its way better than any of this stuff
<0> hehe thanks
<13> Can anyone at least point me in the correct direction?
<12> dooglus, I suppose that's okay. Do you think I'll be able to install windows on the NTFS partition I created in gParted?
<2> hmmm, I have a java application "*.jar" and the Archive Manager keeps opening it. How do I run it with Java?
<11> sorry, but at least it can edit text
<5> phoghawk: I've no idea, sorry
<19> some of the distros use the ntfs driver ms uses.. apparently it's very slow and still doesn't guarantee anything
<12> dooglus, no problem
<6> Dirge, got the Sun Java j2re installed?
<20> new super mario bros is so damn fun
<2> I think so. I did that a few days ago.
<3> phoghawk, you probably want to use the windows partitioner, to at least touch an ntfs partition you want to write in windows. Just bad experience talking here.
<5> Flannel: see, in particular, http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfs-en#how_safe_is_the_ntfs_driver
<21> can someone tell me how i can go about getting ubuntu to detect my mp3 player?
<6> Dirge, when you installed Sun Java, did you do the java-reconfigure thing?
<21> it doesn't come up as a hard drive like it should
<5> Flannel: if you have any evidence at all that it's not safe, could you point me at it please?
<15> So, what is the proper wya to gain readonly permissions so I can browse disks. It was easy to puzzle it out in Breezy, not so easy with Dapper, the user=??? in fstab does not work. It keeps saying I have no permissions to browse and I'd rather not have to swap a memstick 400 times.
<12> nickrud, ya, I tried that, but it was being really weird. I created a partition and it still said it wasn't a valid one
<22> tylerofl: USB I suppose? Try doing an 'lsusb' from a command line and pastebin the output .. (http://www.pastebin.com )
<23> how can i setup my sound card to work i have a the chipset via82xx
<2> No, what's that? I'm still checking to make sure it installed correctly.
<11> Damnit, nano has no undo
<3> phoghawk, yeah. I'm talking about years old experience, which gets hazy. I enjoy not needing windows :)
<6> Dirge, long URL, but here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java#head-fef9352fb26820bb774df978180c9dd3a60e777b
<11> I've spent this whole time laboriously deleting xml:image elements
<8> Flannel: Thanx but it was nothing that easy...
<12> nickrud, I haven't used it in a year or so, but I figure it's always good to have, now that I have more HDD space
<3> Bot_Builde1, did it work?
<11> nah, I just deleted a bit too much of one i wanted to keep
<11> and nano has no undo
<24> how to play mp3 songs on ubuntu?
<21> neutrinom***: strange, it doesn't come up at all
<21> it's as if it's not even plugged in, but it says USB connected on the player itself
<3> phoghawk, true, there are a few games worth playing, or so I hear. Can't even concieve of a reason to use windows otherwise :)
<22> tylerofl: Check the cabling then ...
<22> tylerofl: Are you sure the mp3 player works? Can you try it on another PC ?
<24> how to play mp3 songs on ubuntu?
<21> the same cable works just fine on my digital camera
<22> tylerofl: AFAIK *every* device has to show up in lsusb ..
<22> !ubotu tell amit about mp3
<7> !tell amit about mp3
<3> !mp3
<9> mp3 is, like, a patented format; to enable mp3 capability see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
<21> i will try it on the computer upstairs
<3> late again
<23> how can i setup my sound card to work i have a the chipset via82xx
<24> i have installed amarok but i am not able to play songs
<5> Bot_Builde1: emacs21 has multi-level undo, and interactive regular-expression search-and-replace
<12> amit, you need the w32codecs package
<11> but no giant *** line support :P
<25> amit: install libxine-extracodecs.. or something like that
<12> amit, maybe it's win32codecs
<22> amit: Please read the link ubotu gave you :)
<3> amit, install libxine-extracodecs, you will need to enable the multiverse repo, see below
<5> Bot_Builde1: it supports long lines too
<3> !multiverse
<9> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource.
<11> really well it was a blank screen for me
<2> ok, those all were set up to use Suns Java.. Not sure why it won't run.
<5> Bot_Builde1: that was vim
<11> the opening system was probably too complex for the likes of me
<11> no i tried emacs too
<11> ok figured out what the xml i deleted probably was
<25> does it seem like people are using the help system that comes with ubuntu?
<11> now the moment of truth
<5> Bot_Builde1: when I open a .odt in Emacs, it shows me a list of the contents of the archive.
<6> DShepherd, probably not :)
<11> dooglus - you have to unzip it
<23> how can i test my speakers?
<11> and open content.xml
<5> Bot_Builde1: it unzips it for me. see screenshot: http://s89213869.onlinehome.us/2006-06-13--08-10-51.png
<3> DShepherd, no
<11> it unzips for me too
<11> but if its a big content.xml file some editors might screw up
<5> Bot_Builde1: the arrow characters in the last column indicate 'long-*** line'
<25> Madpilot: i think so too. there's alot of answers there. I guess that's why I think the 'ubuntu welcome center' is a great idea. I think people just doesnt know it exists
<11> oh, yeah
<3> DShepherd, but what i've read is good, we need to link ubotu to the proper places
<5> Bot_Builde1: sure. that's why I'm recommending a proper editor
<11> I would be very surprised if this works...
<5> Bot_Builde1: is the document available on-line? or is it private?
<3> Madpilot, I hear there's a wiki to docbook converter in the pipeline ...
<11> I could stick it up
<25> nickrud: ok
<21> back
<5> Bot_Builde1: go on then. or email me @gmail.com
