<0> r0xoR, my eyes hurt.
<1> Charbel, sudo ifconfig eth0 up && sudo dhclient eth0
<2> and in configuring it, I could even see my ISP in the list
<3> do I modify /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh or any other ways also possible
<2> I chose it
<4> ubuntu12, then read the link ubotu just gave you
<5> ubuntu12, you needed to read that link that was on the screen a moment ago: it has been said that resolution is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
<6> hey
<0> r0xoR, Also, i am on the live CD now.
<3> Kane666: hey
<4> oh... lol... live CD, heheh... good luck with that
<4> ubuntu12, just curious... why do you need to change the refresh rate (of all things) on the live cd (of all systems)
<0> ompaul, ok, I am looking.
<6> has annyone here had this error with Audacity? Error Initializing Audio I/O Layer, You will not be able to play or record audio
<7> it erased the truetype fonts that i had installed :(
<3> anything for me
<8> Kane666: yes. set esd to release the device faster, or just kill it.
<0> r0xoR, well, if ubuntu will support a higher resolution, I will install it, if not, then I have to try to configure it somehow ;)
<4> wahjava, your guess is as good as mine
<6> zcat[1] : what does that mea?
<6> *mean?
<3> r0bby: means
<1> ubuntu12, it does support a higher resolution, I run at 1600x1200 at 85Hz
<3> sorry for r0xor
<5> ubuntu12, you have been given how to do it
<9> Kane666, type "killall esd" before starting audacity.
<4> ubuntu12, naw, it's not ubuntu that supports the resolution, it's your kernel driver and your x driver plus your xorg.conf which "supports" your particular resolution
<10> hey what email clients do you guys (and gals) like to use?
<3> r0xoR: what do u mean ??
<4> wahjava, uhhh meaning... what exactly did you do that caused your power button to stop working?
<0> DBO, Um... I a a beginner in liunx and it shows :)
<1> glick, evolution is a mighty fine client for GNOME users
<8> Kane666: alt-F2 and type 'killall esd' in the box, then run audacity
<4> !newbie
<11> Syntax error in line 1. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, r0xoR
<4> heheh
<3> r0xoR: I've installed PowerManager
<4> wahjava, is that something i can get via synaptic?
<10> there was something about evolution that bugged me, i cant remimber what it was not
<10> now
<10> how is thunderbird?
<1> ubuntu12, thats ok, in general though, fixing things on the LiveCD is a rather pointless thing to do... if you want to fix your refresh rate you should do a full install
<4> wahjava, ACPI isn't the most stable of systems... there are quirks with different mobo's and the kernel code is experimental in places
<12> thunderbird is simpler
<1> glick, thunderbird isnt bad, but evolution provides a lot more PIM style stuff
<4> ubuntu12, yes, that's what i was saying... there's no point in "learning" how to configure the live CD... learn how to configure a "default" install
<9> glick, it's fine. As good as any. It doesn't have the extra frills (calendar, ...) by default, IIRC
<4> thunderbird == good for me
<0> DBO, I will sure do, but I want to be certain my hardware is supported.
<3> r0xoR: Previously I used to shutdown my comp from Power button
<4> wahjava, so you would do what exactly?
<3> r0xoR: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13892 is /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh
<1> ubuntu12, what video card do you have?
<4> wahjava, press the button once? press the button and hold?
<10> i wish mozilla would make the uptimate pim
<3> r0xoR: I don't want to do forcefully shutdown
<13> if i have the nvidia-common-kernel installed do i also need the nvidia-glx installed?
<8> one of the live cd's (I think it was puppy) lets you write a multisession cD. The first session is the live CD and you can save settings and user files back to subsequent sessions. But generally live CD's are not designed for stuff like that..
<10> werent they working on firebird or something?
<4> i wish someone would make a decent calandar app that doesn't try to masquerade as a presentation program and email client all in one
<7> sorry for being so annoying, but i want t oask something else......: will i be able to have 3d acceleration with an ATI X1300 (that's why i upgraded)
<14> Does the root account have a p***word in the live CD?
<4> X3n0n, errr, if the drivers support your card then yes
<3> r0xoR: Holding button means OS is not participating in Shutdown
<5> !tell X3n0n about ati
<4> !frglx
<11> What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, r0xoR
<3> r0xoR: so what I think is PowerManager is not properly configured.
<4> wahjava, oh so you want the OS to register the powerbutton press and then do a regular "halt" type shutdown
<3> r0xoR: yup
<3> r0xoR: that's I've also pasted my powerbtn.sh script at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13892
<4> wahjava, well i'd say you're probably right... and then i'd say "why haven't you read the documentation about configuring yet?"
<15> EUREKA.. I got WPA working!
<6> hastesaver: it worked! thanks. But could you please explain to me why i have to do this? (for future reference)
<13> so does anyone know, or should i just install it and see if my system breaks
<4> whutz wpa?
<16> i want to change whatever setting controls the audio for firefox so embedded stuff will play... cause right now, they wont play if i have anything else up that has sound
<4> WillieDaPimp, afaik you need glx too
<16> does anyone know how to change that setting... i guess the audio driver or whatever
<3> r0xoR: there is no doc in /usr/share/doc and also no manpage for PowerManager
<4> WillieDaPimp, but personally i just build the modules from the installer on the nvidia site
<13> r0xoR, i thought so, but i couldn't remember thanks
<9> Kane666, because esd (the so-called Enlightened Sound Daemon) has captured your audio, and audacity cannot use it until it is freed up
<15> r0xoR: It's an encryption scheme for wireless networks that isn't easily supported in Ubuntu and is something of a pain to set up
<4> hmm, k
<5> **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install, or other conversation, dapper will be in this channel from 1st June :-) BUT not until then
<6> hastesaver: thanks for the info ;) but audacity isn't recording anything :S there is no 'spikes'
<13> r0xoR, is there any difference between the two different approaches??
<3> r0xoR: sorry has manpage for power-manager, just listed package contents
<15> r0xoR: I've been trying to get it up all night and finaly got it working
<4> WillieDaPimp, much difference
<16> i want to change whatever setting controls the audio for firefox so embedded stuff will play... cause right now, they wont play if i have anything else up that has sound
<4> WillieDaPimp, my approach requires recompiling a kernel
<15> Ok now if someone would be so kind as to help me set up firestarter I'm good to go
<9> Kane666, you can also find the settings for esd and ask it to release the device sooner (it's probably set to some ridiculously high amount like 60 seconds)
<4> WillieDaPimp, but my approach also leaves you free to compile any other outside kernel modules... like the manufacturer supplied network/ide/gfx/chipset drivers instead of the ones built into the linux kernel
<9> Kane666, oh, not recording anything? Are you sure the input volume is not set to 0? :)
<13> r0xoR, i just gave up using gentoo, after usign it for years, to try a version of linux that has less configuration, speed is good but to time consuming
<4> WillieDaPimp, no i fully understand... i've been installing linux for years
<3> r0xoR: after starting gnome-power-manager manually I'm now getting some shutdown option in "Power Preferences" dialog box
<4> WillieDaPimp, just had to do a dual boot... tried gentoo... after 8 hours of solid crying i tried ubuntu
<6> hastesaver: ive increased the mic volume in volume control.. i dont know if thats all i have to change or not ?
<15> Ok is there an easy way to set up IPTABLES with FIRESTARTER so that everything besides all my services are blocked out? I tried using the whitelist option but I ended up just killing my net connection
<4> WillieDaPimp, i don't think i'll ever use gentoo again lol
<9> Kane666, I once spent a day trying to figure out why my audacity wasn't working, and it turned out input volume was set to 0
<9> Kane666, look in Audacity
<0> Does Ubuntu have KDE installed ?
<5> spazzz, firestarter is just a front end for iptables
<4> spazzz, maybe you should look into manually configuring iptables... basic firewalling like you're talking about is not hard
<13> r0xoR, i've been using linux since 94 or 95 and i've never had as much trouble with any other distro than with gentoo, but it is speedy
<5> ubuntu12, you can install it with sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or get the kubuntu CD
<4> spazzz, allow from all; deny from ..., ...
<17> ubuntu12: no, but kubuntu
<18> how to use the ICQ with proxy?
<19> Okay, lemme rephrase my question...
<6> ta3uk: are you using gaim?
<18> yes
<4> zcat[1], meh, i just think that misguided or not some of them have one ok point which is that (however misguided the notion is) a custom compiled system will be faster... is 12 days worth the trade off? not for me no :P but for some crazy freaks i guess it is
<6> in accounts, there should be something like 'more options' just add your settings
<8> !info partimage
<11> partimage: (backup partitions into a compressed image file), section universe/admin, is optional. Version: 0.6.4-11ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 247 kB, Installed size: 876 kB
<19> Is there an easily automated way to compress my hard drive into an image that I can put back onto it really easilly, in the same fashion as Norton: Ghost?
<19> partimage, eh?
<8> Ohzie: what ubotu said..
<4> zcat[1], i also don't know a lot about the arguments (on either side) presented for USE and "binary inconsistencies" and other random stuff
<20> Ohzie: dd if=/dev/hda of=/tmp/my_image looks easy enough to me :)
<4> i know what USE flags are... i too have attempted a Gentoo install before
<8> ivoks: yeah, if you don't mind backing up all the freespace too, and having a backup you can only restore to an identical drive..
<21> ohzie: partimage rocks, although it doesn't support as many filesystems as norton ghost
<20> zcat[1]: right :)
<19> ivoks: But can I boot into a CD that will do everything for me automatically? :-P Cause I'm big on that.
<8> personally I'd reccomend tar to backup the filesystem and grub-install to make it bootable after you recover it. That way you can restore to different drives, different partitioning, or whatever
<8> automated restore tools I don't know.. nothing I really know of. I kinda count on not having to restore very often.
<19> It totally bothers me that broken drivers in xorg are debilitating. It's totally a usability thing, that if the driver doesn't work...try defaul VGA drivers. MacOS uses X11, and if the drivers don't work...it drops into default VGA drivers. Apple has been using X11 for a not-too-long-time in its current incarnation. The linux community has been using it for YEARS and nobody's ever done it.
<19> Little usability things like that are the ONLY thing stopping linux from being UBER DESKTOP AWESOME
<21> ohzie: there is a live cd which does exactly that i'm pretty sure, although really it just uses partimage
<19> I mean, it's already UBER DESKTOP AWESOME for people that have any idea what they're doing.
<20> wel...
<20> Ohzie: i would say bad habbits of windows users
<4> heheh
<19> Like, I'm not an expert, but I can get around pretty easily. I know what I'm doing. As for bad habit of windows users? Tell that to the people that don't use linux on the desktop because windows is easier. :)
<21> ohzie: well you can run norton ghost for linux partitions
<8> Little things like reconfiguring X automatically when the user drops a new graphics card in might be a good idea..
<4> Ohzie, ar u gonna just complain about *nix marketshare?
<20> Ohzie: like "ubuntu ****s; doesn't come with firewall" or "i need to backup my partition since i have to format it every month"
<19> r0xoR: No. :( I'm just trying to make a point.
<19> Ohgod please don't flame me, I actually like this channel and the people here, and Ubuntu, a WHOLE LOT. I'm just trying to make a poiint.
