<0> gnomefreak, bugger! So I'm between a rock and a hard place - run the latest beta version but not get any help or run the current release version but not be able to play with XGL?. Damn :-(
<1> vicks, tks
<2> Can I ask what should be a simple OOo question here (my brain is fried after hours of wrestling with OOo, and I have a deadline looming) ?
<3> andyj2: dapper isnt beta yet
<3> andyj2: truthfully xgl isnt wortha crap
<4> argv512: that comand deletes every file on your system without asking for conformation.
<5> Xenguy: you know this channel, but shoot
<6> argv[1] would be force and recursive and argv[2] would be telling rm to start from root
<7> -rf there
<2> nickrud: thank you, here goes...
<4> <never seen that one before....
<8> hey everyone
<9> DUDE!!!! how do i install FLASH!!!????
<0> gnomefreak, I had a quick go with Kororaa (sp?) earlier and thought it looked absolutely great :-) To be honest though, I've been considering going to Ubuntu for a while anyway - it's just the easier installation of XGL made me decide to do it now.
<10> I have a problem with devilspie: Could not load theme: Failed to open file '/home/smiley/.devilspie.xml': No such file or directory
<3> haha: did you read your pm?



<7> with capslock
<9> yeah
<9> it makes no sense...
<3> than install it using those ways
<8> i'm trying to build swfdec so i can run flash, but the config script is erroring with 'no glib found'. i can't find glib with apt-get, anyone know where i can get it?
<11> jeekl: I'm no expert, so you might want to ask your question again. In the mean time, see if there is a log file for sshd (or if one can be enabled with an appropriate line in sshd_config).
<12> hi
<13> I'm intalling uBuntu, i'm making a new partition... what filesystem do you recomend?
<3> haha: what arch and version are you using?
<10> I have a problem with devilspie: Could not load theme: Failed to open file '/home/smiley/.devilspie.xml': No such file or directory
<14> gopi> why dont you use mythtv?
<15> Mosi, apt-cache search glib
<16> gnomefreak, IdleOne: I followed install instructions by doing, ./configure --prefix=/usr and at the end of the big list the following was said, configure: error: *** Unable to find a suitable Athena Widget library (Xaw)
<3> haha: tell me what uname -r spits back at you when typed in terminal
<16> IdleOne: I tried a lot to install it but in vain :(
<2> OOo question (simple?): I have 3 levels of heading (16pt, 14pt, and 12pt), and I want to simply configure the heading numbers to be the same font size as the headings themselves. How can I do what should be this simple thing?
<7> then install that lib
<3> gopi: read the readme or install files you need to install libs
<8> fluxt: i got about a page and a half of inscrutable output from that... now what?
<13> I'm intalling uBuntu, i'm making a new partition... what filesystem do you recomend?
<5> Mosi: sudo ap-get build-dep libswfdec0.3 (if the one in the repository is too old for you )
<17> ltR^: use the defaults if you are not sure what to use.
<13> i didn't load the ubuntu cd yet
<13> im making the partition manually
<2> (OOo = OpenOffice.org)
<13> raiserFS?
<3> haha: you want help now would be a good time to answer my questions <hint>
<15> Mosi, heard of apt-get? synaptic?
<17> leave the file system type unformatted. THe install CD can format it for you into the default file system type.
<5> Xenguy: I've used it since 5.2, but no promices
<9> dude.. how do i use the terminal?
<8> fluxt: yeah. I've heard swfdec is unstable on PowerPC, and it's better to build it from source
<18> im trying to boot the installer from grub but it gets so far and comes up with an error saying... vfs:cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(8,3) anyone help?
<17> haha: open it.
<17> !cli
<19> CLI means Command Line Interface, aka the terminal or console. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands or http://www.linuxcommand.org/ or http://www.tuxfiles.org
<20> sweet nevermind it worked this time, it musta been the semi hosed artition on disk one that ws holding up grub he first few times I tried to install :) thank you people
<3> haha: go to applications>accessories>terminal
<21> hey how do i reconfigure x so i can use higher resolutions?
<22> !help
<17> vars: you can always fixres...
<23> How can I get rid of faulty output in bash scripting ? Ie rm non_existinf_file => Error: file wasn't found .. Adding rm file 2> /dev/null won't work
<17> !fixres
<19> Please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
<15> Mosi, apt-get insall libglib1.2
<13> Do i have to burn the ISO to a CD?
<15> install*
<13> can i mount it in windows
<3> argv512: if you dont tell us you issue we cant help you
<17> ltR^: yes, as a disk image.
<8> fluxt: that might be the problem, swfdec requires 2.0 or higher
<9> it gives me
<13> i can mount it?
<3> ltR^: its the easiest
<2> nickrud: OK, you have any ideas (I cannot believe I am stumped on this BTW)
<9> 2.6.12-9-386
<17> no burn it as a disk image.
<15> Mosi, download, compile it, etc
<3> ty



<13> k
<24> why doesn't the dapper installer have an option for installing from another hard drive?
<3> haha: brb
<3> leave terminal open
<9> k
<15> Mosi, or apt-get install libglib2.0-0
<3> argv512: dont pm me without asking
<2> ?
<15> Mosi, 'apt-cache search' is your friend
<11> toxic_: Try rm -f
<22> gnomefreak, Why can't I PM you without asking?
<25> where can i find more for multiscreen configuration ?
<26> What version of gcc is the breezy kernel-image compiled with?
<8> fluxt: :\ says libglib2.0-0 is already the newest version
<23> EnsignRedshirt, This is an example .. var=`rm -i *pattern` | 2> /dev/null
<3> ok haha in termnial type sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list adn keep it open for a min
<5> ah, I had to scroll back for the question
<3> ubotu tell argv512 about coc
<26> argv512: Most people consider that rude.
<15> fluxt, then you already have glib installed.. so what's the problem again?
<8> fluxt: i sorta figured i probably already had glib, it's a pretty basic library to have... any idea why the configure script for swfdec won't find it?
<3> haha: let me know when its open please
<16> gnomefreak: In the installation file its specified that "X11 + XPM + Xaw + Xterm" libraries are in all distros but why when I tried to install it said configure: error: *** Unable to find a suitable Athena Widget library (Xaw) ? ...... plz see installation file at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10091
<15> Mosi, perhaps you need libglib2.0-dev ?
<2> nickrud: Sorry I didn't prepend your nick, but sent to channel instead
<8> fluxt: i'll try that
<15> Mosi, is it a compile problem?
<9> its says p***word..
<26> What version of gcc is the breezy kernel-image compiled with? Does anyone know?
<5> Xenguy: you picked at styles, which I never learned about. Sorry about that
<8> fluxt: no, i haven't made it to make yet
<16> gnomefreak: so which library I need to install ? Xaw ??
<8> fluxt: it errors while running the compile script, and exits prematurely
<9> it says p***owrd..
<3> haha: your user p***word
<15> Mosi, well try that :)
<3> gopi: read the files (i havent compiled that i dont know)
<11> toxic_: Add -f to the rm command, maybe?
<8> fluxt: running config again :)
<16> gnomefreak: plz see that link I have pasted.. Thanks
<27> http://digg.com/linux_unix/Administrator_root_p***word_readable_in_cleartext_on_Ubuntu_Breezy
<9> it wont let me type it
<3> haha: it wont show up
<23> EnsignRedshirt, the point was to avoid using -f since it's somewhat dangerous :P
<22> gnomefreak, I suppose you're so important that I cannot PM you?
<3> haha: just type it and hit enter
<23> Having no matching file gives this bash-script error output .. This is what I've tried but it doesn't work. Any ideas ? [CODE] var=`rm -i *pattern` | 2> /dev/null [/CODE]
<9> k
<5> Xenguy: I learned about styles on a typewriter, and have never learned better
<3> argv512: dont pm anyone without asking there is no debate on this
<3> haha: is it open?
<2> nickrud: sec, signs of life on the OOo channel
<28> Hi, I'm a Mandriva user, a little bored of it, and may like to switch to ubuntu...
<22> Sure there is: Be collaborative.
<15> argv512, problems are best sorted in chan, everyone can learn/help that way
<3> tritium: ?
<16> gnomefreak: ok atleast tell me how to get Xaw library ?
<29> hi gnomefreak
<28> anyone to explain me pros/cons of ubuntu?
<15> zebarbu, con: ugly as hell ! :p
<26> zebarbu: www.ubuntu.com
<3> tritium: what would you do if argv512 pmed you and fought with you about why u dont want him to?
<28> hum..
<5> zebarbu: I haven't used mandrake since 7.3, so I may be biased unreasonably, but ubuntu's tools are better
<30> EnsignRedshirt: Okey, with a little tips from the wiki, I have gotten my friend to connect to me using just a username and p***word. No encryption thgh. Do you know how to make it a secure connection? Using keys? My friend is on windows.
<15> /ignore
<3> coc ring a bell?
<8> fluxt: seems like that solved the problem, but now it wants liboil0.3 (synaptic says this is installed, and i can't find a liboil0.3-dev anywhere in the library repos....)
<16> gnomefreak: In README its not mentioned how to get Xaw library :(
<9> dude.. it wont work
<3> haha: who installed ubuntu on that pc?
<30> EnsignRedshirt: And another thing, how do I see if someone is connected to me?
<29> gnomefreak: I'm +q him
<28> where may I find the lastest ubuntu iso? (I mean not a stable, but a dev snapshop)
