<1> ivoks, WTF?
<2> ohzie: apple runs x11 in rootless mode, meaning it doesn't handle the video/input directly, aqua does that
<3> The people here have been more helpful than any other distro's help channel ever. Everyone here is really really nice, and AWESOME.
<0> TechSalvager: yes?
<1> oh wait nm #ubuntu no wonder
<4> Ohzie, well if you feel you need to make a point, there's #ubuntu-offtopic for that
<1> ivoks, <0> Ohzie: like "ubuntu ****s; doesn't come with firewall" or "i need to backup my partition since i have to format it every month"
<1> yeah
<0> TechSalvager: bad habbits of old windows users :)
<3> r0xoR: Duly noted.
<3> And the reason I have to format is because it's not my computer. =P The owner wants to put osx86 on it. =(
<3> Ohwell. Thanks anyways! :D
<0> Ohzie: that would be a mistake
<0> Ohzie: OSX is slowest OS for x86
<1> ivoks in that case forgiven
<0> and ugliest
<5> Put KDE on it and give it a nice OSX theme. They'll never know.
<4> heh.. osx is pretty slow from my experience
<6> has anyone here gor a windows machine running at the mo?
<1> me
<3> ivoks: That's why I use linux instead of osx86
<7> Not I
<3> GazzaK: Over there I do *points* what do you need?
<1> GazzaK, what do you need help with?
<4> GazzaK, running as in turned on?
<8> i havent run windows in 3+ years
<6> I need to get a firmware update for my router, but it comes as a compressed exe file from BT
<6> damn BT
<9> anyone have a xorg.conf for FX 5500 ?
<5> i have wine
<3> keNzi: FX-5650 go
<6> they have the latest firmware here http://www.voyager.bt.com/2100/firmware_update.htm
<0> keNzi: install nvidia-glx
<9> k
<1> GazzaK, try renmaing it .zip
<6> but it is downloadable as a .exe file only
<0> GazzaK: well, beagle is Beagle.exe too :)
<5> sometimes those archives are just zip with a selfextractor and unzip can still handle them directly..
<6> TechSalvager, wooo, that worked
<6> thanks folks
<6> :)
<1> GazzaK, yeah anything windows you need help with just ask
<6> never knew that about renaming the exe to a zip
<7> no need to rename them
<7> just unzip whatever.exe
<1> yep
<6> I'm good at windows, i'm a IT support bloke, but just new to ubuntu :)
<5> you got lucky.. if it's been a self-extracting RAR that wouldn't work :)
<6> and never knew that exe>zip trick, as i've never needed to
<7> unrar
<7> ;p
<5> ketsugi: not on the stock install though
<10> What package installs growisofs
<10> OK found it
<11> whats the ISO burner within ubuntu, and how do I toast an ISO to CD ?
<12> can someone please go to this site and tell me which one i need to work on ubuntu? http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Valknut-Download-2346.html
<5> McNutella: right-click on the file and pick 'burn to CD'
<11> zcat[1]: cheers for that, simple is always best :)
<11> and there it goes
<13> Hello .... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1011340#post1011340
<14> How do I recieve scans?
<5> scans?
<14> Yes, when I scan a document who do I save it?
<14> *how do I
<5> xsane perhaps..
<14> zcat[1], So open xsane, then scan?
<14> scan = hit the button on my printer
<14> Oh
<14> There seems to be a button on xsane its self
<14> Yes, I get a 'device busy' error
<15> if a port is "filtred" its not open for anyone ?
<15> * everyone
<16> is there a way I can get firestarter firewall started in gnome without me being asked for the sudo p***word each time?
<15> valehru: it starts as a daemon ?
<17> anyone know what 'usplash_fifo' is?
<18> it already starts, only need to run the gui if you want to change something
<16> well I want the gui to be in the taskbar each time i boot up
<16> ahh ok...
<16> gotcha
<18> I seem to remember there was a step by step guide to doing that somewhere
<16> nah its cool
<16> didnt realise it started on boot as a daemon
<16> thx
<18> valehru, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-26483.html
<18> probably not all that secure though
<19> valehru: your not actually starting the firewall when you start firestarter, its just a front end. also you dont actually need it to be running once you have done the setup because firestarter runs a small program during startup the defines your firewall rules, you only need the GUI if you want to change anything
<16> yeah I got that
<16> thx linux_galore
<19> valehru: once you have setup iptables with firestarter you really dont need to run it again
<16> yup
<20> can anyone help with wireless usb device drivers? i need to know if a driver is available for mine before i can install ubuntu
<19> valehru: if you watch your startup you will see the init process start a script called firestarter that initiates your firewall rules
<19> valehru: so basivally ignore it
<20> i could only find http://prism54.org/newdrivers.html, but its ambiguous whether they're driver is ready or still in developement
<16> have done...tis ignored
<21> is there a way in gnome to save the positions of my windows? zAngband opens up 8 terms and every time I start the app it reset them to their default messy positions
<19> AlmtyBob: right click on the top of the window
<22> what's an easy way to convert avi to mpeg on Ubuntu?
<21> only min/max/on top/move/resize/cose/always visbile/move to workspace
<23> see ya all, going back to BSD
<23> 8-)
<24> blasph, you can use mencoder, but it probably doesn't qualify as easy.
<19> AlmtyBob: looks like they removed the config option
<22> hastesaver: how not-easy is it?
<25> blashph: did you try avidemux or transcode?
<26> ubuntu is getting better and better with each version, unfortunetly it is not good enough for me, i'm going to bsd or back to gentoo
<19> AlmtyBob: welcome to the down side of dumbing down a desktop
<19> WillieDaPimp: try RR4 Linux its Gentoo made easy http://www.lxnaydesign.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=27
<27> why would my uptime say there are 2 users when i just rebooted?
<19> JonBoon: root processes
<27> is that normal?
<19> yes
<28> JonBoon, xserver = one user, terminal = one user
<27> ok cool
<23> hee
<27> i do use apache
<27> i thought maybe that changed something
<22> crazy_penguin: didn't try either, didn't try anything. are those tools easy to get and to use?
<25> to get yes
<25> to use i don't know exactly
<24> blasph, are you comfortable with using the command line?
<25> i did use them very much
<22> hastesaver: I have nothing against it.
<25> but both of them have gui for easier usage
<24> crazy_penguin, just tell him the command to do the conversion if you remember it; how easy it is will be self-evident :)
<24> crazy_penguin, (actually, I'd like to know too, and I'm too lazy to read the docs right now...)
<29> i got a problem with Mozilla Firefox Browser.... Can anyone help with the sudo comand to install it.....
<25> i don't nknow it because i used the gui.:)
<25> sorry
<24> blasph, Read the mencoder section of this page: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/video-playback.html
<30> so what new great features are coming in with dapper drake?
<0> cyne: countless :)
<19> Mwafrica: just download the binary tarball unpack it in your /home/username/Documents directory then just creat a link from your taskbar or desktop to /home/username/Documents/firefox/firefox
<31> well, the most visable one is ORANGE
<29> Anyone to recommend me another browser?
<31> bright, blinding orange
<24> blasph, (or the transcode section for that matter)
<31> screaming at your eyes
<19> Mwafrica: you dont have to install firefox to use it
<24> crazy_penguin, GUIs would also be great, what are the respective GUIs called?
<29> .......its kind og corrupted...
<22> hastesaver: which do you recommend?
<25> for transcode if i remmeber right is gtranscode
<25> and avidemux has it by default in the package
<25> one sec i will look
<31> Hobbsee: slept yet?
<29> Linux_galore: Im new tto ubuntu.,..... i was triying to install P2P program and now.... it doesnt display text?
