<1> billgates: synaptic has stuff sorted by category, & search function is extremely useful
<2> ddman?
<3> froogzoo: but ti thought synaptic was jsut to organize the stuff thats already on your system ... is there an add remove function ins ynaptic that i missed?
<3> one that llows you to search for new stuff?
<4> is there a site that explains how to enable your usb web camera unter ubuntu ?
<5> mindspit: you may try wiki.ubuntu.com and search for "webcam"...
<6> billgates: Synaptic is all about adding and removing. It automatically updates its database with what is available with Ubuntu then you press in the checkbox next to the packages name
<7> is mindspit a girl?
<2> anyone?
<6> billgates: if the checkbox is green, it means it's already installed. If it's white, it's not.
<1> billgates: synaptic shows all the s/w in the repos - stuff that's installed is highlighted in the checkbox, to install addtnl s/w - click on the unmarket checkbox
<2> does anyone have ORINOCO wireless card?
<1> mindspit: google
<1> !tell mindspit about webcam
<3> oh ok thanks froogzoo
<6> EmxBA: I do.
<2> dsas: which exactly
<8> i have a problem installing hp color laserjet 2550l series
<9> EmxBA, did you have a question?
<8> are there any helpful hearts outthere
<10> Frogzoo, I don't want to run anything -from- the cd, I want to run the cd (as a bootable device with some VM softwre)
<10> s/softwre/software/
<11> How to auto mount my secondary HD every time i reboot
<6> EmxBA: Compaq W200 (usb)
<2> eyequeue: yes, i have problems with "normal" kernel drivers for ORINOCO PCMCIA wireless card, with those drivers i can't scan
<5> linav: add it to your file called /etc/fstab
<2> dsas: that's not orinoco card!
<9> linav, /etc/fstab
<6> EmxBA: It uses the orinoco chipset
<11> ok thanks., let me try that
<2> and can you scan around?
<12> Funny, I was checking why I had no sound and I ran lspci -v and noticed it said device only available to root. All my priveleges were turned off. I got sound now. It's a wonder I had the privelege to even touch the keyboard.
<6> EmxBA: Sure
<2> i suppose it uses ornioco drivers
<11> do u mean to say i need to mount my HD to /etc/fstab
<9> linav, man 5 fstab for syntax
<6> EmxBA: I had to install the drivers from cvs to even get it to work though
<5> linav: no, fstab is a file that tells the system what to mount to where and how...
<2> which cvs?
<8> are there any greatful and helpful hearts outthere?thanx in advans
<11> Thanks guyz, will look into it
<2> dsas, please help me. I think i need kismet drivers for orinoco
<8> its hp color laserjet 255l series
<6> EmxBA: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Device/CompaqW200 is the tutorial that I used
<6> EmxBA: Don't know anything about kismet though
<12> What happens when you try to setup the printer?
<12> !printers
<13> methinks printers is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters or http://www.linuxprinting.org
<2> dsas: i suppos it can be used for setting up real orinoco card with orinoco chipset inside
<6> EmxBA: Oh, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/OrinocoKismet may be more right
<14> anyone know how i can make my wireless save a wep key to key index #2?
<15> how can grub boot off a software raid partition before the modules for the raid are even loaded?
<8> its recognizes the printer but still doesnt prints
<2> dsas: tnx, i appreciate your help
<6> EmxBA: No problem
<12> You mean it actually is booting off a raid partition?
<6> bcc_: I didn't think it could.
<1> webmind: I think I understand - you want to have a VM running, eg qemu, drop in say a live cd, & have the live cd boot? I think that should work
<15> i can't see how it's possible but i found a few docs explain that it's been done
<1> webmind: all you should need is the 'boot -d' option - to boot off the cd
<15> where /boot is actually a raid partition
<9> maybe the same way it used to resolve and utilize an ntp server before it even loaded the wireless drivers?
<16> !faq
<13> faq is, like, at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonQuestions
<17> bcc_: it can depend on what kind of raid it is - if you're just doing simple mirroring with software raid then each of the disks contains a full, valid partition that grub can just read.
<12> Hmm, maybe grub has some rudimentary raid abilities. I remember having this warning of needing to avoid that when I was compiling slackware kernels.
<15> Ng: are you sure it's not doing the striping with md?
<1> webmind: boot -c /dev/cdrom
<15> Ng: that would actually make sense
<10> Frogzoo, yes.. I can do it from the commandline.. no problem.. but I wonder if I can set it as a menu option, when I right click the CD
<12> Or maybe the bios has some of that ability.
<17> bcc_: I would think coping with striping would be a lot harder, but I'm not especially sure
<15> Ng: i know that some hardware raids do striping with raid1
<1> webmind: sure, create a menu entry to that effect, or just put a link on the desktop
<15> Ng: but the software raid might be just writing to two locations
<15> Ng: in any case, the docs say to use fd file system type instead of 83, even for boot.
<10> Frogzoo, link on the desktop would no apear in the 'right click cd menu' and I don't know how to add items to that menu
<15> Ng: i don't see how it can make any difference if you create and ext2 system on top of it
<18> excuse me what do i have to install to be able to play .mov files and .wmv files?
<15> and -> an
<12> dependson the striping. If its the type were the type where the data isn't spread accross the drives but each drive is a copy of the other, it might be able to boot by just using one of the drives.
<12> !restricted formats
<13> somebody said restricted formats was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats or '!codecs'
<17> garryfre: that's not striping, that's mirroring, which does work, as I said earlier :)
<16> hmm. is there anything that comes with either 5.10 or 6.06 I can use to edit mp3 files? I need to trim some leadtime off and maybe join some of them together. What's the handiest tool/application to use?
<9> !tell glick about RestrictedFormats
<12> oh yes, mirroring. hehe
<1> webmind: well it's doable - maybe google
<18> !restricted
<13> hmm... restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats. This page's intent is to enable you to play most non-free media formats that are not DRM encoded. Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats.
<17> kenguest: gnusound, or "apt-cache search sound editor"
<17> kenguest: there appear to be a few :)
<16> Ng: thanks :-)
<10> Frogzoo, any sugestion for search terms? because I've got no idea where to look
<4> yes i am a girl!
<19> hi
<4> you fraks! you are fantastic! i never enjoyed so much eith an OS!
<19> how works ubuntu on a acbook?
<20> can mpg's be played on linux
<16> n30n: yes. totem etc
<21> conmiweb, like ubuntu
<19> xD
<21> hehe
<19> but, is all the hardware recognized?
<4> i cant install easycam2 with "sudo apt-get install --fix-broken easycam2 "
<4> it says iot depends on gcc-3.4
<21> conmiweb, I would try searching google and see if anyone in any of the fourms are having problems with their macbooks
<21> just a suggestion
<19> mindspit sudo aptitude insall gcc-3.4
<19> ok thanks bhundven
<18> i installed tha marillat package but i still can see .wmv files
<18> i can only hear the sound
<17> mindspit: where are you trying to install it from? I don't see easycam in the ubuntu repositories
<19> gclick, you have to install the multimedia w32 restricted codecs
<19> download a .deb, from debian repositories, search for it in google
<22> hello has anyone setup postfix and hylafax on Ubuntu - the setup seems to miss out bits like creating the fax user (which I have done) but i now get X-Postfix; Command died with status 255: "/usr/bin/faxmail".
<22> Command output: P***word:faxmail: Login failed: 500 'P*** ': Syntax error,
<22> when I try and send a fax through the gateway
<18> conmiweb, i downloaded an installed th w32codecs
<19> :O
<19> so?:S
<9> mindspit, an alleged camera program that requires a compiler be installed? and not an official package? to me that is highly suspect, exercise due caution
<4> i added deb http://blognux.free.fr/debian unstable main
<4> on /etc/apt/sources.list
<18> what else do i need?
<9> mindspit, do you have any reason to trust those people?
<4> yes :) they are french!
<12> hehe
<1> webmind: you should have no problem doing this through Apps -> Accessories -> Alacarte Menu Editor -> File -> New Entry
<4> i just my cam to work!
<9> mindspit, you appear to be installing something very suspicious, security-wise, and it is from an untrusted source
<23> hi, i can connect to internet with a usb modem?
<18> ?
<15> "You will need to enable RAID support, and then set RAID-1 support to be compiled into the kernel (it cannot be a module if you want to boot from it)"
<17> eyequeue: by the looks of it, it uses gcc to build webcam drivers, but I would have thought they'd all be in the kernel anyway
<1> _ClouD_: possibly
<15> how can this make sense?
<1> !tell _ClouD_ about hardware
<15> grub would need to read the kernel image from the raid before the kernel is even loaded
<23> Frogzoo what i need to do it?
<18> anyone know how i can play my .wmv files?
<4> anyway i want to do it
<1> _ClouD_: it all depends if there's linux drivers for it
<9> Ng, why would any app require a compiler ar RUNtime, nor compile time, if it doesn't carry a malicious payload?
<9> s/nor/not/
<5> glick: have you already tried the wiki.ubuntu.com searching for restrictedformats?
<5> !tell glick about restricted
<17> eyequeue: because it includes a bunch of webcam drivers, detects which one you have and compiles the driver for that camera. I'm not at all saying it's safe, but it does seem to be referred to a fair bit
<7> UBuntu UUUUB NUUUB uuub nuub noobtuntu ^^^wouldn't that be a good name for branch?
