<0> Yeah, sounds like a challenge to me CuriousCat.
<1> ?
<2> How can I set the permissions of an entire drectory's contents? I right clicked on the directory through the gui and changed the permissions, but it only changes permissions of the directory instead of all of the files in the dir
<3> some one tested to upgrade from breezy to dapper dist?? is there a big difference between ???
<4> chmod -r I think
<5> Im still installing
<6> lufis, ketsugi: chmod -R
<7> CuriousCat: most laptops use software based devices to save money, down side is there OS specific
<4> well
<2> _Jason, thank you muchly!
<4> chmod --help usually tells me what I need to know ;p
<0> I appreciate that too _jason :)
<6> lufis: be careful with that command, make sure you really want to give everything the same permissions
<2> _jason: ok
<3> some one already upgrade from breezy to dapper??
<1> megaman123, configuring repositories is almost the first thing to do after install
<1> manux, many have
<5> ok
<3> i m running breezy .... is there a real difference between both dists
<3> ?
<8> someone uses a wireless network? How can I see tha available networks, and how to connect them?
<4> manux: yup
<4> there's a huge difference
<4> but since it's already mid may, you might as well wait for the final release in June
<1> a lot newer packages in dapper
<3> wich is better do you think
<3> ?
<7> manux: between breezy and ??
<3> yes
<1> dapper is better for sure
<3> i m not shure if i upgrade to it
<9> i need to write a program in lisp... can you please suggest me an editor for gnome that does auto indenting/syntax hilight for lisp? No, I don't like (x)emacs.... :-)
<0> I'm looking forward to Dapper.
<1> manux, if not sure, wait
<3> i found a tutorial http://www.macewan.org/2006/02/23/upgrading-breezy-to-dapper/
<10> My upgrade from breezy to dapper didn't went too well.
<11> I'm presuming playing back embedded quicktime 7 is a "forget about it" under Ubuntu
<7> manux: dapper flight 6 works fine for me
<12> circular dependency exiting on booting the kernel
<12> anyone wanna decipher that?
<3> but i m not shure if it works whithout complication to upgrade to it
<1> the upgrades to beta often don't go so well
<0> I got an error like that before, nny..
<3> i don t wan t to newly install my inux
<0> Were you trying to do anything with apt-get?
<1> but a fresh install from a beta cd has beed reliable for me
<12> siccness on dapper after package upgrade
<10> manux, best bet is not to upgrade then.
<0> Hmm, not sure then.
<12> siccness did apt-get upgrade, and apparently a apckage is not happy
<13> ubotu, tell Hfuy about restricted formats
<3> you think i should newly install every thing if ...
<7> samuli: happens, sometimes better to do a fresh install, thats why I always make a /home partition so i can flush an install and do a fresh update but lose none of my users stuff
<0> nny, yeah thats where I got my error, it was because I had synaptic open at the same time.
<13> ah frick.. need to get that syntax down
<13> nvmd
<11> Hnn. Now on trying to access the 2K box, it just circularly asks me for a p***word over and over again
<1> manux, I think you could upgrade when dapper is ready
<3> isn't it not totaly ready yet ?
<1> manux, it's still beta
<3> ok
<7> manux: technically no, but it works
<3> maybe i wait
<14> linux_galore, yeah. but then at least it isn't ac97. It's Conexant, which is why i'm wondering if this would work this time around
<3> thanks for help
<1> I think the human icon theme in dapper used to have yellow/orange arrows for navigating in nautilus and epiphany... now they are gone :(
<7> CuriousCat: connextant stuff is always a problem because they use software to hide the fact the chips are pretty crappy and cheap
<1> tangerine theme still has yellow arrows... I wonder if they will return to human, too...
<11> So you're telling me that in these days when you can get an mp3 player in a box of cornflakes, there isn't one in Ubuntu
<1> Hfuy, there is
<0> Hfuy: Licensing issues, i believe.
<11> There's one in Windows
<1> Hfuy, it is just not installed as default
<11> there's one in [long list of OSs]
<7> Hfuy: not by default but if you run the easyubuntu script it will setup the stuff needed to play mp3's among other things
<12> aiight... someone got enough skill in here to help with a kernel panic?
<11> Mrrrnngh.
<1> Hfuy, just install the codecs
<1> it's not that hard
<7> Hfuy: the mp3 media format is actually a licensed standard owned by Thomson
<11> I know.
<6> ubotu: tell Hfuy about mp3
<11> So?
<11> Licence it
<1> Hfuy, it's expensive
<1> will you pay it for me?
<11> Not that expensive.
<6> Hfuy: ubuntu is a free distribution, thus why it isn't included by default
<7> Hfuy: you have to pay for it
<11> I would gladly pay for Ubuntu if it worked better.
<11> So there you go
<0> Pfft...
<1> it works great, just needs a bit work
<6> Hfuy: free not in the money sense
<7> Hfuy: there is a Ubuntu thing for codecs were you can buy them
<15> question, what repo is the linux-restricted-modules in? I need it for my atheros wireless chipset (madwifi)
<1> the best thing in ubuntu is freedom
<6> Hfuy: install gstreamer0.8-mad as the page ubotu sent you to explains and you play mp3's
<11> I'm ***uming quicktime is a no-no
<13> ~sigh~... it works fantastic.. you just need to know more about how things work before attempting them
<0> muep: I think the community and support that you receive from Ubuntu enthusiasts is probably the best thing about it.
<7> Hfuy: depends , I use openquicktime
<12> so kernel panic, anyone?
<1> siccness, they are important, too
<0> There's like 10 forums just for Ubuntu alone, it's great :)
<6> Hfuy: you can play quicktime... I like to use mplayer with w32codecs
<16> that's part of the problem with the free over all. I use mp3 because I can get cheap portable devices (i.e. under $100) to play music on. I prefer ogg but that is partially supported on a limited number of expensive devices
<13> win32codecs... mplayer.. and mozilla-mplayer
<12> ok which one is for kernel panics?
<6> ubotu: tell Hfuy about mplayer
<17> Youssef***ad: isn't better to add universe and multiverse so you don't need to find which one?
<6> ubotu: tell Hfuy about w32codecs
<11> mplayer we got
<11> but it doesn't play embedded QT7
<18> nny, be specific to get help, or get out of here
<12> uboto: show nny where the advanced ubuntu forums are
<13> tats because you need w32codecs
<7> Hfuy: complain to apple
<7> Hfuy: apple hasnt released anything for Linux
<13> and the appropriate plugin
<15> munzir: Hm, I think I do have (uni|multi)verse added, but I can't find the linux-restricted-modules packages in there...
<11> How come they can't put it in the distribution, but I can download it for free?
<6> Hfuy: !free
<6> !free
<19> hmm... free is Free as in free software = free as in freedom. For more info visit:http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
<1> Hfuy, they have licenced it that way
<7> Youssef***ad: get the easyubuntu script it does all that for you
<12> dli ok "kernel panic: circular dependancy" after apt-get upgrade with dapperf light 3
<11> Odd thing: if I set a filetype (mp3) to play with VLC, it plays with VLC.
<13> haha ubotu rocks
<15> linux_galore: will look into that. Thanks!
<11> But if I try to play it over a samba share, it pops up in Totem.
<7> Youssef***ad: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
<15> linux_galore: Thanks a mill :)
<11> Why would it handle a filetype differently depending on its source?
<20> yay, I made it! .. anybody home?
<21> hello again

<22> hey
<22> I was trying to install it and it came up with an error
<22> something with uncompressing
<22> ERR 1
<23> hello, i wan to mae complete backup of my system, by sending all the durectories through scp to other machines, what directories should i exclude ??
<0> How odd, nautilus won't open :|
<24> hi fellow ubunters, i was wondering if its possible to record video streams to video files? i'm wanting to record streams of the apprentice (from the BBC UK web site) to mpg
<20> Sounds like you might have a bad DVD, Falluccer - did you check it?
<11> "Element doesn't implement handling of this stream"
<11> "Please file a bug"
