<0> Is there anyway to fix my DVI (digital video) problem where the ubuntu loadingscreen, and safemode terminal is distorted? It's fine when I get into ubuntu, the login screen is fine too.
<1> _jason because im allowed to set individual folder icons manually
<2> Anyone know why scanning is painfully slow?
<3> _jason - no it comes up with a list of options - but obviosuly i dont have to JUST use in the terminal ?
<4> Cryptid, its like stand-by
<5> kwiat: I suppose you could do that, just run a script and set the corresponding icon
<5> Exussum: do 'mplayer /path/to/moviefile'
<1> _jason do you possibly know what kind of file to create or edit who changes this attribute?
<6> is there a program like dvd shrink for linux
<5> kwiat: not offhand
<7> pianoboy333, sorry I was afk. The problem is most likely with your monitor, not your setup
<1> _jason do you have an idea howi could find that out?
<8> i want to have azureus started at startup, so i added this command to admin>sessions>startup programms, "~/programms/azureus/azureus" but it didnt work..
<5> kwiat: google :)
<6> !dvdshrink
<9> I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, instabin



<0> colm: I can't adjust my image settings from the monitor menu tho.
<10> ablomen, hmm i never used stanby in windows so i dont know what it is actually used for,,, can u explain its uses does it reduce the power comsumtion or something???

<8> i was thinking, maybe it needs to be run on a terminal? if so, how could i do to open a terminal automaticly at startup and run azureus?
<5> itsmike: don't do that here!
<4> Cryptid, yeah something like that, it switches off your harddisk etc, isnt realy great or something but keeps the energy bill a litle lower
<12> i'm spamming you, please don't spam me!
<13> ignore itsmike
<14> How can i see if a program (file in init.d) is actualyl going to be run on boot?
<10> ablomen, oh good thats just what i wanted,,, ne ways does it boot OS faster when u hibernate??
<5> Exussum: I don't know what lilo is... what does 'mplayer -ao null /path/to/moviefile' do?
<1> _jason lilo is a boot manager
<4> Cryptid, sort off, i wouldnt recomend it, just switch your pc of if you arnt using it ;)
<1> _jason it was commonly used by SuSE
<5> kwiat: right but he is getting a lilo error starting up mplayer
<15> how can i repair grub?
<5> ubotu: tell Bardiel about grub
<15> its somehow broken, i need to just re-install it, so how?
<5> Bardiel: ubotu sent you some info
<3> Lol im usuing GRUB - so its not going to be that
<1> _jason that sounds crazy
<15> i don't want ubotu, i want a human being
<3> actually nvm - Totem works - How can i make it play Real media ?
<10> ablomen, hehe i will try it out first and then check which is better :-)
<5> Bardiel: read what he sent you. Do you want me to just copy and pasate it for you?
<5> paste even
<4> Cryptid, sure its there to use it ;
<4> ;)
<5> Exussum: w32codecs and totem-xine
<13> slide: try update-rc.d -n <package> defaults
<14> ty

<13> slide: your program will run on boot
<14> k
<17> i share my homedir with samba. it works, but i have two questions: is there something that notify connection attempts? and how can i hide/don't share the hidden file with samba?
<12> \
<5> kwiat: if you can't find the file just give a folder some custom icon with a strange name and then grep ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 for the name, and if it's not there grep all the hidden directories in ~ :)
<4> bozzu, you can hide files by changing the permissions so only you can see them
<15> _jason: those directions don't work
<18> Has anyone been hable to install ubuntu in a laptop with an ATI Mobility X700 ?
<15> can i have human support now?
<19> Hello. I want to create a vmware image for ruby on rails development, to use on college PCs which have vmware player installed. Would a stripped ubuntu fit on a 512 MB usb stick, or failing that an 1 GB one? with the necessary goodies like mysql, radrails etc thrown in? I'm guessing no, but you never know :)
<1> _jason nice idea! thank you very much
<5> !doesn't work
<16> _jason, it says I have the latest version
<9> [doesn't work] something you should never say. Be more specific.
<15> okay, i'll be more specific
<15> those directions do nothing
<15> at all
<20> umm...can someone please help me gettin httpd started? i'd managed to get it to work on gentoo...cause the .conf file was kinda detailed...
<16> _jason, I've just noticed I have a configure error. I'll address that first
<16> Thanks _jason
<17> ablomen, i know that, but i don't want to see the dot.files in my homedir when accessing that dir with a windows computer. i use user security so changing standard permission does not work i think
<20> no such luck with ubuntu...any help?? or directions where i can find some? please? :)
<21> !xgl
<9> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #xgl-ubuntu for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/



<4> bozzu, yeah thats right, maybe you should try the #samba room or something
<12> Bardiel: what error are you getting
<15> im not getting an error
<15> im getting nothing
<12> so your computer wont' boot?
<20> umm...can any one help please? i did mention the problem a moment ago...
<15> it boots into the cd rescue mode
<15> is there a command i can enter to just restore the windows MBR?
<22> Any idea why root would su to the primary user periodically? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8786
<5> Bardiel: did you read the link about recovering grub after installing windows?
<20> !httpd
<9> Syntax error in line 1. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Gimpd
<15> _jason: that is the one that did not work
<20> !apache
<9> I heard apache is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP or, for Ubuntu server information, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/installation-custom
<22> I keep seeing log entries I can't account for, where root su's to my user twice, about 30 seconds apart. I haven't been able to find any cron jobs which do this.
<5> Bardiel: you can restore windows mbr with the windows install disk and entering 'fixmbr' in recovery console, but then you won't be able to use linux
<10> How do i increase the refresh RATE OF MY MONITOR FROM DEFAULT OG 60 HZ to 85 Hz ????
<15> _jason: i need my system to boot, regardless of which os i can use
<15> and grub won't install
<23> Bardiel: you should install windows first and then let grub work its magic
<15> i did
<15> grub broke itself
<15> i already had both windows and linux working fine
<23> hmm
<4> Bardiel, you can try lilo
<24> hi guys, would someone help me to install the java plugin for firefox?
<20> _jason, where can i find help for apache other than on help.ubuntu.com? the page there doesnt help much with the problem?
<15> lilo won't install either
<15> and that super grub repair disk didn't work
<23> !tell anna about java
<5> Bardiel: you tried using a livecd?
<25> Hi, I have installed (for test) Dapper flight 3 on my laptop. I have some issues with X.org not probing the correct HorizSync and VertRefresh of the lcd display and a netgear usb wireless network adapter that works with ndiswrapper under breezy, but not under dapper... Is there any place I sould provide this information as a bug report for the developers?
<5> Gimpd: try ubuntuforums.org and wiki.ubuntu.com
<5> Gimpd: there is also a mailing list lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/
<26> hey, my update manager says i have 7 updates available, but i cant update because it said it cant get an exclusive lock, so i tried rebooting and it still says the same thing
<5> maria: do you happen to have synaptic open?
<27> Bardiel: grub 'broke itself'???
<26> i checked my processes to see if apt-get is running, and it isnt
<26> _jason: no i dont
<4> maria, have you tried apt-get upgrade?
<26> ablomen : no i havent
<28> maria: are you running updates?
<24> hatake_kakashi: arigatou ;)
<26> no im not
<26> maria@ubuntu:~$ apt-get upgrade
<26> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
<26> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
<26> maria@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
<26> P***word:
<26> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
<4> maria, you should try that in your terminal (sudo apt-get upgrade) i had some problems with the updater problem 2
<26> thats the error i got
<23> anna: iie
<24> hatake_kakashi are you fan of naruto?
<24> ^^
<12> sudo
<23> anna: fan of the anime yes, but not a fan of that main character in that anime
<27> maria: do sudo dpkg --configure -a (as it told you)
<5> maria: in the future please use a pastebin
<23> !tell maria about pastebin
<20> !7z
<28> maria: run sudo apt-get update and than try sudo apt-get upgrade
<9> Gimpd: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<26> _jason : whats a pastebin
<5> ubotu: tell maria about pastebin
<29> !pastebin
<9> from memory, pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar :)
<23> maria: check the pm from ubotu
<30> maria: try sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
<10> I am having Sound Problem with Ubuntu 5.10 on my Intel 915GAV motherboard please Help me!!
<27> maria: run the command apt-get gave you _before_ doing apt-get update/upgrade
<31> !tell Cryptid about ask
<24> hatake_kakashi that makes sense.. in that case youd probaply call yourself naruto instead of hatake ^^
