<0> how to install Eciadsl ?
<1> Calgar: just search for gtypist
<0> I'm very new to linux ..
<2> Guest_105: sudo apt-get install eciadsl
<3> how do i change abiword as default .doc writer instead of openofficewriter?
<4> frfx: system -> prefrances -> preferred aplications
<2> Calgar: that has no option for word processor here..?
<4> oh
<5> well, im in knoppix now and im copying the data across to my new sata drive as we speak
<3> popey: you are right
<1> how do i make sure that when i create a file/folder in a windows share in samba it's created under a certain user groep?
<5> thanks to you all!
<3> popey: maybe you know how?
<6> frfx, right click the document, properties, open with
<2> frfx, I don't I'm afraid, sorry
<5> BlueEagle, you're idea is working a treat!
<5> s/you're/your
<4> frfx: sorry, i have only been using linux for less than a day, it was just a guess
<3> Calgar: no sorry, thanks for your help
<3> anto9us: no other solution? i want that every document opens with abiword
<6> frfx, that will set for all documents of that type
<2> frfx: i think you can make it the default in there too
<7> im trying to switch from windows to ubuntu, but im having a hard time finding all the drivers i need. is there any 'central' place where i could look that up? googling every device i have takes foreever
<6> frfx, you selected properties?
<8> Akuma_: what drivers do you need ?
<8> linux does not require you to install any drivers in normal cases
<7> right now im mostly concerned about my graphics card, SiS M760GX, and my wireless usb, Netgear WG111
<3> anto9us: yep it works, thanks a lot
<6> frfx, I know, you're welcome :)
<7> i read about ndiswrapper for my wireless device, but cant find any real answer for the graphics card
<4> hmm, help please, i just installed the "junior-typing" meta package, but nothing has shown up in my applications menu?
<9> ok there it is
<9> ive tried everything
<7> oelewapperke: why's that? wrappers?
<3> Akuma_: do you have the windows drivers for your wireless card?
<7> i do
<2> delmar: what scanner?
<2> Akuma_: what video card?
<9> popey, microtek scanmaker 3800 series
<3> Akuma_: install ndiswrapper and follow the steps of the tutorial
<7> .. but i heard ndiswrapper was not very stable. ... does that mean it disconnects once a month, or crashes the computer every hour?
<7> popey: video card: SiS M760GX
<10> callie: Well, there you go. :)
<11> Moin
<3> Akuma_: no..i work with ndiswrapper and it works great
<4> hmm, help please, i just installed the "junior-typing" meta package, but nothing has shown up in my applications menu?
<12> My experience ndiswrappers makes the computer crash almost immediately _and_ doesn't work.. ymmv :)
<13> sup yall...has anyone encountered an error with prism2_config() failed on bootup ....i see that in dmesg ...i have a XI-325 prism2.5 wireless b pcmcia card....and i don't know how to fix this error...
<7> frfx: i'll try it then. thanks
<7> zcat[1]: ok .. i'll reconsider then ;)
<9> im going to bed. night all
<3> Akuma_: here it works..just try..
<13> nite del
<12> I ended up giving that card to a windows user and getting one that was supported by open source drivers.. but ndis must work OK for some people or nobody would use it..
<3> Akuma_: if you don't try it won't work ;)
<7> but, is there a usual way to look up drivers? or does everyone just google everything?
<14> I had mixed ndis experiences. Sometimes, modprobing it would freeze the box, but a year or so back it ran fine. Thank god for madwifi :)
<3> Akuma_: you said you have the windows drivers?
<7> frfx: true. but i also need a long time to format, install two operating systems, etc etc. so if i know something wont work at all, i'd rather wait till i get a new computer
<12> google 'ubuntu breezy <hardware>' and usually you'll find something
<7> frfx: i do
<3> Akuma_: so you don't have ubuntu now?
<12> yes; most of use google everything and only ask here when we get really stuck..
<7> .... is there an ndiswrapper equivalent for graphics cards maybe?
<2> Akuma_: no, there's not
<15> I used to use a console based web browser, Lynx, I can't see it in synaptic, anyone knows how to install it for ubuntu?
<3> Abountu: sudo apt-get install lynx
<7> i do .. i downloaded them ... the live CD works ok .. but no wireless internet and the resulution doesnt go as high as i'd like it to
<5> frfx, it appears its not in his repo
<16> what is the name the gtk 2.2.0 packages and the development files?
<16> i'm not found it in packages
<12> Akuma_: If you're likely to get a new computer soon, hold off and make sure you buy hardware that you know in advance will be well supported..
<17> Greetings to all, anyone about with experience running quake 4 on linux ?
<18> Running fine on my system, Richardpat
<12> then linux will go much better. Trying to get badly supported hardware working is not a fun experience
<7> zcat[1]: i definatly will. im not sure i'll get it 'soon' though. so i'd rather switch now if possible. vista scares the **** out of me
<3> Akuma_: here the live cd also works but also no internet because the live cd doesnt include ndiswrapper
<5> Akuma_, i spent well over a week researching my new computer and it was time well spent in the end, i LOVE my new system
<17> basti`DND: The problem on mine is it appears to startup, but the screen is blank and the sound appears to be corrupt
<2> callie: good point, check before you buy is a great idea
<18> R u running ATi or nVidia, Richardpat?
<17> Ati
<17> 9800 pro
<17> Direct rendering appears to be working
<18> Don't have experience with ATI. ;> Sorry
<7> are mainstream computers, say Dell, usually better supported?
<2> Akuma_: I have had very few problems with recent dells on linux
<5> popey, only learnt by having had far too many problems caused by hardware that either wasnt supported or had very poor support
<2> this dell xps gen 2 is lovely :)
<12> I have ati mobility here.. no 3d for me :( .. nvidia on the desktop machine.. I should get off here and play with compiz some more. quinn gave me some good info before..
<5> Akuma_, self build is the best way to get what you want and make sure you have a completely supported system
<3> Akuma_: older systems are better supported, but you want a new computer.. but you can google on "linux YourNewComputer"
<1> Richardpat: I've used https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI and then installed Q4. Works fine here
<17> KenSentMe: I followed the same howto
<2> frfx: not always, all the hardware in this laptop is supported and it's under a year old (well, all execpt the silly LEDs)
<3> popey: than you are lucky :)
<2> i researched it :)
<3> Akuma_: are you going to buy a laptop?
<19> Hello
<20> howdy
<19> /message l'm looking for ubuntu french user...
<3> !fr
<21> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
<7> frfx: im trying to. but its pretty complicated
<20> "french user" ??? one that uses the french ?
<7> frfx: i wanna get it from US. much cheaper
<19> Tanx I'm jump to #kubuntu-fr
<3> Akuma_: where do you live? if you want to buy a laptop: check http://www.linux-laptop.net/
<18> Ubuntu: If i add the debian unstable and / or testing packages to my apt-sources, i get only errors at synaptic. Anybody here, who got this error too?
<20> basti`DND ubuntu is NOT debian. it is based on debian, there is a differance
<12> adding debian repos will likely break ubuntu is strange and unpredictable ways.. don't do it. If you do do it, don't expect us to fix it.
<18> Yeah, for sure i know, but i don't ever get problems with using debian-packages at ubuntu
<4> can anyone help? i installed the "junior-typing" meta package, but none of it has shown up in the menus
<4> please
<12> basti`DND: you haven't had any problems "yet" ...
<18> Okay. i go for ubuntu-mirros. Thx guys ;>
<20> hmmm let me see here? "<18> Ubuntu: If i add the debian unstable ... i get only errors at synaptic." & "<18> Yeah, for sure i know, but i don't ever get problems with using debian-packages at ubuntu" sounds like a contradiction to me.
<3> Calgar: i have sometimes the same problem.try this command: sudo junior-typing
<22> does dapper have drivers for the intel pro/wireless 3945, or do i have to compile them by hand?
<23> Agent_bob, hehe
<22> and why does dapper detect only one cpu on my core duo?
<24> I have problems with lineakd and got a mail from the developer saying "you must be running XWindows (Gnome or KDE or some other window manager is fine)". This is running in Ubuntu as default, isn't it?
<4> frfx: command not found.......
<12> tbf: add an SMP kernel
<25> tbf, you need to install an SMP kernel
<23> tbf, install an SMP kernel (use synaptic)
<25> tbf, and try in the #ubuntu+1 channel
<25> I beat you all too it!
<25> :P
<25> Ayabara, Gnome's Ubuntu's default :P
<20> Ayabara ubuntu by default runs gnome yes
<26> hi guys
<25> Hello
<5> hey
<24> that's what I thought.. anyone here using lineakd? I have problems getting it to work
<25> Ayabara, what problems?
<2> Ayabara: i ran it for a while, but don't need to now
<18> Agent_bob, this was _THE_ first time, i get errors. :)
<3> Calgar: you are sure it is correctly installed?
<20> basti`DND oh ok :)
<24> Jimmey__, popey: I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with media keys. I try to fix it so that the volume buttons control Headphone rather than Master volume.
<4> frfx: yes, i can launch gtypist and other components from terminal
<25> Ayabara, oh.
<2> Ayabara: yeah, i have a dell too
<2> Ayabara: i used lineakd until dapper, now the media keys just work
<2> Ayabara: can you wait 2 weeks until dapper is out ;)
<24> popey: they work for me too ( I run dapper ), but the volume buttons only control Master volume even if headphones are plugged in
<2> Ayabara: I don't think dapper uses lineakd by default, but I guess you could
<20> anyone know how tee pipes or redirects it's output ?
<20> eeek i coded mod for at least 100x? it's output is horid at 80x?
