<0> force them to learn
<1> yo everybody
<2> I'm trying to set up XGL and Compiz on my Dell Inspiron 9300 with a Nvidia 6800 Go, and i'm getting m***ive graphical artifacts when I log into gnome. I followed this guide http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=916 but it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.
<3> lightstar: on the preferences???
<1> has anybody in the house attempted or successfully managed to install windows vista beta two on a machine that has ubuntu as the primary os?
<4> cherwin: I know, it's just they're not attached to Microsoft, just Windows is the only OS they know, and if I try to teach them anything else, they could expload from confusion:D
<5> harisund, nope..in buddies
<4> cherwin: I still hate Microsoft for making IE
<5> harry, nope in buddies
<6> Says: get in the new world, buy a bigger hd
<7> Sayz: slavik: I would just leave everything as it is, because forcing people to learn stuff never is good. And they'll only get annoyed if they encouter an iexplorer page only etc.
<6> 10 gb is old
<5> harry, its the main option, right next to tools
<0> Sayz: they don't need to learn anything ... besides "here is to write stuff, here is e-mail, here is the intraweb"
<6> slavik, thats so true
<8> Microsoft Vista looks like Mac OS 10
<0> cherwin: I migrated my friend to ubuntu, his wifi (just as mine) doesn't work as well
<0> windows worked better in our instanse
<4> I wish it was that simple...
<6> how ugly is Vista
<0> he does NOT want to go back
<4> Oh, by the way
<0> now, we have to mod our BIOS to accept ralink based cards
<3> lightstar: ok thanx
<7> slavik: what kind of nic do you guys have?
<9> i believe i can fly...i believe i can touch this guy
<0> his reaction "we have to do it" not "let's install windows again"
<0> broadcom
<5> harry, no prob:)
<10> slavik, ouch
<4> I dunno if you guys have ever heard of this before, but there's this nice Firefox extension that forces websites to think you're using IE
<6> slavik, yucky
<4> Anyone want a link?
<6> Sayz, oh really?
<0> and the ****ing bastards at hp/compaq lied to me and said that I can install other cards
<11> ablyss if grub, open a terminal and type sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst change the "default" line to read the name of the prefered os. if lilo do sudo nano /etc/lilo.conf && sudo lilo change the default line to the desired os save and exit.
<12> slavik: Well, broadcom support isn't 100% yet (blame broadcom)
<0> but the BIOS is really locked
<4> Oh yeah
<0> cafuego: yes
<7> slavik: thats a wonderfull motivation! just search and learn until you can do it :D
<8> Vista looks ok but doesnt work that well
<4> It's called User Agent Switcher
<0> cafuego, the point is that we refuse to give up
<6> loxety, who is suprised
<4> Search for it on the extension site, works like a charm
<0> cherwin: but we both are comp sci majors ... so yea
<7> slavik: anyway broadcom isn't really good with linux drivers
<1> thats why you never ever buy hp/compaq stuff EVER
<8> takes to many steps to configure things
<0> he has fooled around with linux a lot less than me, but he is learning
<6> cherwin: the 4318 isn't bad
<2> I'm trying to set up XGL and Compiz on my Dell Inspiron 9300 with a Nvidia 6800 Go, and i'm getting m***ive graphical artifacts when I log into gnome. I followed this guide http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=916 but it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.
<1> or gateway **** for that matter
<13> how can I update firefox, can I overwrite the oder one inswtallin' 1.5 version?
<14> Why is Microsoft STILL using a FS that needs to fragmented....
<0> shadeofgrey: I never will
<15> lightstar: ...and where do i find the html-folder? (the folder where i have to put my files)
<6> Neoph34r, why aren't you just using the nvidia stuff that ubuntu supplies rather than XGL or Compiz?
<0> Krhis: because windows xp is the techlonogy of 2002 ...
<6> !nvidia
<16> well, nvidia is Help about installing the nVidia drivers on Ubuntu can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
<4> Hey, can WINE work without a Windows install?
<6> !tell Neoph34r about nvidia
<1> sla: ifd i were you id threaten litigation to get themn to take the unit you got back
<0> linux is the technology of last night ;)
<14> slavik, Vista.
<5> malegria, it should be in /var/www
<7> slavik: anyway what doesn't work, does the module load? can you see the networks, please provide more info
<14> ^^
<0> shadeofgrey: I thought of that
<14> Vista is using DRM as a selling point too.... I find this ironic.
<1> slavik, unless of course its been more than 30 days. then your certifiably butt ****ed
<0> Krhis: read what I said :P, it applies to vista, too
<6> slavik: are you using ndiswrapper for the broadcom stuff
<5> malegria, to find out exactly, edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and look for the DocumentRoot directory
<0> Sivik: no
<17> says, yes
<0> ndiswrapper doesn't have monitor mode
<5> malegria, /var/www/htm..if i recall exactly
<18> how can i get glibc2.4 installed in dapper is it possible to exist alongside 2.3?
<17> sayz, yes
<15> lightstar: ok, found it. thanks
<0> even the open drivers don't have packet injection
<19> how can i make rhythmbox rescan my library now i have installed mp3 support?
<4> Excellent
<6> restart the app maybe?
<0> rich bastards in my pool don't leave me an open network to use when I am bored ...
<1> slavik, lemme guess -- a problem with the integrated wifi and you found out the hard way that they qont allow dfor installation of other networking hardware??
<19> also, should i be using gnomevfs or mounting my samba share?
<20> can somone tell me how to link a file to a directory in the command prompt?
<0> shadeofgrey: because they lied to me
<1> sladen, because they put cheap *** bios into the mobile computer your using?
<0> shadeofgrey: no
<1> 'what did they say
<21> winbond: ln -s file dir/ IIRC
<0> the BIOS has a whitelist of vendor IDs ...
<22> winbond: ln -s <directory> <file>
<21> see? I don't remember correctly :)
<0> since every pci/agp/pcie card/chip has a vendor and subsystem ID
<0> and they whitelisted only things they sell
<5> malegria, try typing your server ip in your browser and see if anything pops up..
<20> theine: ty
<21> bye *
<22> winbond: yw
<21> have a nice... rest of the day/whatever
<1> slavik, theres a way to get around that but its riskjy and using it voids the warranty on the machine
<15> lightstar: i think its working
<20> wildman: ty
<23> hey guys, what's the dif btw the ubuntu dvd and the ubuntu iso?
<1> slavik, are you mad eniough that your willing to tryt it?
<5> malegria, cool..now you gotta try a php script..
<1> mortal5, the ISO is a compressed image of whats on the DVD
<22> shadeofgrey: is it??
<5> malegria, you should add "AddType x/application-httpd-php .php" to your httpd.conf..
<1> mortal5, usually iso's are used so that the image files for ubuntu installation can be burned to NON dvd media
<23> shadeofgrey: the cd iso is 700 mb, the dvd iso is like 4 gig
<15> lightstar: i need root rights to copy stuff to /var/www right?
<1> yeah
<23> shadeofgrey: I know about the cd compression
<11> malegria yes sudo
<23> but i'm saying, does the dvd include extras?
<1> thats because the DVD has more crap on it -- its got like threedifferent install types and one form of the livecd for testing the systrm on your hardware to verify compatability
<5> malegria, i think "www-data" owns tat folder
<14> mortal5, both are iso's. But with the DVD you use the repo's less.
<15> lightstar: so thats sudo nautilus?
<22> shadeofgrey: it also has a lot more packages I believe
<23> Krhis: yeah i'd like to find a list of the software on the dvd
<24> Whats the proper way to share files between 2 ubuntu systems?
<5> malegria, add yourself to that group and you'd be able to copy things..if you can't try doing "chmod -R 775 /var/www/html"
<11> malegria no
<7> billybennett: ssh
<8> billybennett, proper?
<11> malegria no! not sudo nautilus gksudo nautilus
<14> Can't help you there.... not to sure what else is on there.
<8> billybennett, scp works well
<5> malegria, i use CLI to cp stuff..:)
<23> kk
<25> Anyone here have any idea why the Synaptic Package Manager won't upgrade?
<0> Krhis: never show that link to anyone, I might actually kill someone next time
<15> lightstar: whats the difference between sudo and gksudo?
<25> Err.. won't list updates, only shows current versions.
<24> okie thanks cherwin and loxety
<14> slavik, LOL, why do you think I /notice'd?
<26> Has anyone successfully added the Ubuntu-Desktop package after installing the LAMP Server setup?
<0> that article really pissed me off
<5> malegria, console and gui...gksudo is used to run GUI stuff..because it fixes permissions needed
<11> malegria sorry to be butting in like this. but sudo nautilus will break permissions in your home and make gui login impossable until fixed. for root nautilus always use gksudo
<14> Same here, look at the comments.... nothing but bashing.
<27> mortal5: If you mean the difference between the live cd and the alternate install cd iso's, the alternate install allows customized setup and installation of the grub boot loader in a text version of the installer.
<28> billybennett, if the computers are on the same lan, you can use nfs or samba, which will be a bit easier than scp/sftp
