[00:00] <crazeej> how can i disable compiz from autostarting in gutsy?
[00:00] <soundray> dtardella: have you downloaded the installer?

[00:00] <sysme> wanger, sure :p
[00:00] <Dr_willis> sysme,  you make a styles dir and the files go in that dir.

[00:01] <Dr_willis> sysme,  you may want to install 'mc' and learn to use it.
[00:01] <soundray> dtardella: open a terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), enter 'cd Desktop' and hit return
[00:01] <Mcavity> r370: what does running fglrxinfo  in terminal say?
[00:01] <dtardella> ok , did it
[00:01] <soundray> dtardella: then you can 'chmod +x file.bin' (replacing file.bin with the real name of the file)
[00:01] <sysme> dr_willis, whats mc ? i'm new @ linux :D but until now i can only say this community is very nice :p
[00:01] <r370> Mcavity, "Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing"
[00:01] <dtardella> ok cool, i'll try it
[00:01] <soundray> dtardella: from then on, you should follow the instructions again.

[00:02] <soundray> dtardella: probably enter ./file.bin to run it
[00:02] <sysme> wanger, whats the terminal command for that ?
[00:03] <pwnt-> can somboey help me with a movie, I have the .avi file & the .srt file for the subtitle, but It's showing a weird fonts right now.

[00:04] <r370> Mcavity, but I can't run Compiz
[00:04] <Mcavity> r370: may be best to 1. remove the ati restricted driver. 2. downlaod the one from ati's web site and reinstall
[00:04] <sysme> dr_willis, how do i copy files via terminal ? then i can try to copy the desktop/styles/*.* to ./fluxbox/styles
[00:04] <soundray> dtardella: usually, ubuntu complains when something doesn't work, but shuts up when it does.
[00:04] <wanger> sysme, go into the directory containing your download, cp styles/* ~/.fluxbox/styles/ && cp wallpapers/* ~/.fluxbox/wallpapers/
[00:04] <crazeej> can someone help me figure out why i can't play sound thru firefox... not sure if it's just flash or what, but alsa is configured properly
[00:04] <Ademan> can anyone reccomend a cheap (sub 30 USD) wireless b&g PCI card?
[00:04] <Dr_willis> sysme,  notice wher ei just said to learn to use mc.. :) thats the easy way.
[00:04] <sysme> wanger, ok i'll try that :p

[00:05] <r370> Mcavity, I already do this...
[00:05] <pwnt-> can somebody help me with subtitle?
[00:05] <sysme> dr_wallis, mc looks nice, remembers me @ winxp total commander
[00:05] <Dr_willis> sysme,  or go read a few bash tutorials and  learn to use  the 'cp' command. OR use the gnome file manager and open up .fluxbox (just type in the address)
[00:05] <Mcavity> r370 give me a moment im looking for a good guide
[00:05] <domor21> Hello having problems installed restricted vdieo driver cann't boot into ubuntu i get a blank screen
[00:05] <wanger> sysme, really, i think it's perhaps best to get yourself familiar with the terminal before trying to use fluxbox, else you won't get much done =P
[00:05] <dtardella> ok, that's good. how do i get a program to run in ubuntu? do i open a terminal and type the name of the program?
[00:05] <Dr_willis> sysme,  mc is like the #1 thing i always install on a disrto :)
[00:06] <x_zeuss> someone pls help with this error:  (initramfs) [ 53.053436]  ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen

[00:06] <dmi3on> how do i run compiz theme?
[00:06] <r370> Mcavity, I read that the ATI driver is compatible only with xorg-server 1.3, but with this version I can't run Compiz too...
[00:06] <soundray> dtardella: in this case, you type ./gvsig-1_1-linux-i586-withjre.bin
[00:06] <Mcavity> r370 are you running 2 displays?
[00:06] <dtardella> hmmm..not there

[00:11] <central> hello i need to get a new laptop witch is the better intel or ADM ?
[00:11] <Dr_willis> sysme,   check the styles menu now. You may need to restart fluxbox
[00:11] <soundray> dtardella: the chmod command made the installer executable. Now you actually have to run it (as above)
[00:11] <shawn_selig29> even if irhgt click and slect run with wine...it doesnt do anyhting
[00:11] <central> to use bubntu
[00:11] <CCB0x45> hey
[00:12] <CCB0x45> for some reason my gamepad under ubuntu works in jscalibrator
[00:12] <Ademan> shawn_selig29: quit trying to use limewire, frostwire is better, and it will get you connected to the exact same network, also #winehq is for wine help, i reccomend running programs from the terminal #: wine whatever.exe  should work fine
[00:12] <dtardella> I think it's working now
[00:12] <CCB0x45> but when I try to use the axis's in zsnes
[00:12] <sam_> Central: amd and intel are about the same it just depends on what you want and who you talk to
[00:12] <sysme> i'll relogin with fluxbox
[00:12] <CCB0x45> or any other emulator
[00:12] <CCB0x45> it doesnt read the axises
[00:12] <CCB0x45> does anyone know why that would be?
[00:12] <Dr_willis> CCB0x45,  some of those emulatotrs default to the wrong joystick device
[00:12] <CCB0x45> its just a dpad, not even a joystick
[00:12] <soundray> !enter | CCB0x45
[00:12] <ubotu> CCB0x45: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[00:12] <sam_> PLEASE HELP MEEEEE!!!!!
[00:12] <CCB0x45> sorry my bad
[00:12] <CCB0x45> Dr_willis... hmm let me see if I can swtch it
[00:12] <Dr_willis> some try to use /dev/input/js0 or /dev/js0 by mistake. (i forget which one it really is now a days)
[00:12] <soundray> !please | sam_
[00:12] <ubotu> sam_: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience
[00:13] <pwnt-> is there a vobsub or directvobsub for linux???
[00:13] <central> specially to run music midi stuff
[00:13] <webclectic> does anyone knows any way of making open office load faster?
[00:13] <central> adm or intel ?
[00:13] <Ademan> sam_: that's not needed, but i suggest trying to talk in devhook's channels, what EXACTLY is the problem?
[00:13] <sam_> stop freaking sending me those if someone would help before i had to ask 1000000 times i wouldnt do it
[00:13] <Ademan> webclectic: use abiword :-p
[00:13] <CCB0x45> Dr_willis, but the buttons on the gamepad work fine...
[00:13] <webclectic> :P
[00:13] <CCB0x45> Dr_willis, just the d-pad doesnt work
[00:13] <Ademan> webclectic: but seriously i hear that turning of java extensions (or something like that) will speed things up
[00:13] <shawn_selig29> it ownt let me install frostwire its saying only one install cna go at a time....."please close th eother application eg..update managr...etc....
[00:13] <Dr_willis> CCB0x45,  odd.  could be something weird withthat type of gamepad.
[00:14] <pwnt-> is there a vobsub or directvobsub for linux???
[00:14] <domor21>  Hello having problems installed restricted vdieo driver cann't boot into ubuntu i get a blank screen
[00:14] <CCB0x45> Dr_willis, its both my gamepads, which are different kinds
[00:14] <sam_> I said, i had devhook working and 99% of my games need higher firmwars than 2.71 so i tried upgrading devhook to v. .52 and it stopped working
[00:14] <Ademan> shawn_selig29: do you have synaptic package manager open? that's probably why
[00:14] <soundray> sam_: getting help here is a privilege, not an entitlement
[00:14] <xen_caapn> shawn, you might have synaptic or add/remove still open
[00:14] <CCB0x45> Dr_willis, and the dpad works in JSCalibrator
[00:14] <shawn_selig29> i dont no windows at bottom..how cna i check?
[00:14] <webclectic> Ademan: And how do turn off java extensions? Any idea?
[00:14] <xen_caapn> does anyone have experience with game pads and linux? are they all compatible, or do i have to look for certain ones? any suggestions are good too! :)
[00:15] <Dr_willis> CCB0x45,  i would check the /dev/whatever stuff to be sure its right.   i dont een have a gamepad here to test. :)
[00:15] <domor21>  Hello having problems installed restricted vdieo driver cann't boot into ubuntu i get a blank screen
[00:15] <sam_> Soundray: I know that much but it would be much appreciated if someone would acknowledge that they saw that  but everyone just ignored me
[00:15] <Ademan> webclectic: unfortunately no, but i figure there's GOTTA be some stuff on google somwhere
[00:15] <xen_caapn> what do you need help with sam_
[00:15] <domor21>  Hello having problems installed restricted vdieo driver cann't boot into ubuntu i get a blank screen
[00:15] <dtardella> thanks soundray! I'm gonna try the program now
[00:15] <pwnt-> is there a vobsub or directvobsub for linux???
[00:16] <webclectic> domor21: what restricted driver have you installed?
[00:16] <sam_> Xen_caapn: i am trying to upgrade the devhook on my psp the version i had would work and i tried upgrading to .52 and now it doesnt
[00:16] <soundray> sam_: sorry, but I can't "acknowledge" every question about some exotic software by saying "I don't know". And I guess other participants here feel the same way.   On gutsy, I used the command 'xrandr --output DVI-0 --left-of VGA-0' which worked fine until after reboot.  Now xrandr returns no errors but instead enables a desktop where the 'main' half of the desktop is cloned and the other half (that should be showing on monitor#2) is not visible, however windows will move and/or be created on it.  Please pm me as I will bbs.
[00:17] <sam_> Soundray: its easier for everyone if someone would tell me i need to find another chat room than having me repeat myself over and over
[00:18] <soundray> sam_: you still don't understand how this channel works.
[00:18] <pwnt-> I'm having the avi file and srt file in the same folder, the srt file is the subtitle of that avi file. then i run the avi. and mplayer shows the subtitle but its a weird fonts. Do i need to install some codec or something, pls help
[00:18] <sam_> soundray: yes, i do.
[00:18] <installing-mytht> Hi I've just installed 7.10 and I'm having trouble with the brightness on the screen (LCD) everything is really bright.  I can't read most text easily
[00:18] <jimmygoon> :(     /usr/local/include/boost-1_34_1/boost/bind.hpp: Permission denied
[00:18] <soundray> sam_: your behaviour proves that you don't
[00:18] <sam_> soundray: what behavior?
[00:18] <xen_caapn> does anyone have experience with gamepads (like from logitech)? if anyone can recommend one that works well under linux with zsnes and stuff, that'd be great
[00:19] <soundray> sam_: <sam_> PLEASE HELP MEEEEE!!!!!
[00:19] <sam_> soundray: yes, all caps gets peoples attention
 "stop freaking sending me those" -- that kind of behaviour
[00:20] <soundray> sam_: they can get you kicked as well
[00:21] <jack-desktop> Is there any reason why tracker doesn't work on gutsy?
[00:21] <installing-mytht> gamma problem with the monitor,, I understand it is a common problem in Gutsy,, I've noticed other bugs as well,, has anyone had this problem
[00:21] <sam_> soundray: if someone were to say ¨ Sam no one knows about that here try to find another channel¨ i would be fine but instead i send 100000 of those help messages being ignores and i sit here wondering if anyone sees what im saying or if im being ignored
[00:21] <superpenguin> !caps|heh

[00:21] <choudesh> installing-mytht: what is your issue?
[00:21] <soundray> sam_: how would anyone know what everyone else on the channel does or doesn't know though?
[00:21] <Mcavity> can anyone tell me why it seems nautilus is mounting windows shares with smb rather than CIFS? I'm getting really slow file transfers over the network.
[00:22] <murkyMurk> it's a lot like walking into a restaurant and just screaming 'FEED ME' and expecting them to give you food
[00:22] <xen_caapn> installing-mytht , my screen is very bright as well, and the buttons on my laptop don't work to make it less bright, which is weird because its bios controlled and worked on every other distro i've tried, very weird
[00:22] <choudesh> yea - new version of nautilus is as slow as vista on copying from a network share using cifs... :-(
[00:22] <jack-desktop> !tracker
[00:22] <ubotu> Services to index files for fast searching include: Beagle (front-ends: beagle, catfish, gnome-main-menu, mozilla-beagle for !GNOME; kerry, kio-beagle for !KDE; beaglefs for !CLI) - Tracker (tracker-search-tool, libdeskbar-tracker for GNOME; tracker-utils for CLI) - Strigi (strigi-applet, strigi-client for KDE, strigi-utils for CLI) - Kat (for KDE) - Pinot (and pinot-applet for GNOME) - Doodle (for CLI)

[00:22] <installing-mytht> choudesh: thanks,, the monitor is too bright ('it physically set to the lowest setting but still everything appears white)
[00:22] <choudesh> installing-mytht: what kernel/video card do you have?
[00:23] <sam_> soundray: ok im sorry i got an attitude im just frustrated after searching google for 3 days and im sick of people ignoring me
[00:23]  * murkyMurk eats
[00:23] <SAM_theman> I need help setting up my jre for 64 bit
[00:23] <jack-desktop> sam did you say something?
[00:23] <installing-mytht> choudesh:  I just installed Gutsey over Dapper,,  I'm using 7.10. The monitor is a generic LCD
[00:23] <sanrou> installing pine via .deb file, but dependence failed on libssl.so.0.9.7, is there a workaround? thanks
[00:24] <choudesh> installing-mytht: do you know which video card you have? if not that is fine - we can use the generic method
[00:24] <Mcavity> choudesh : i don't think its using cifs I thinks its using SMB.
[00:24]  * Dr_willis never did notice the original question.
[00:24] <soundray> sam_: okay. Perhaps what you need to do is contact the developers -- they'll be interested since this is a regression (failure after upgrade).
[00:24] <choudesh> Mcavity: I just sym link samba, so it thinks it is samba but I changed the cifs mod to handle stuff from nautilus
[00:24] <Mcavity> choudesh : if I manually mount the share using pyNeighborhood and tell it to use CIFS it runs much faster.
[00:25] <ganjistus> nevermind
[00:25] <jack-desktop> Is there any reason why tracker doesn't work on gutsy?
[00:25] <installing-mytht> choudesh: I'm afraid not..
[00:25] <Varka> how to format an usb-stick with udf?
[00:25] <choudesh> Mcavity: hmm.. I may be the one that made the mistake.
[00:25] <ganjistus> i think this is nirvana
[00:25] <choudesh> installing-mytht: ok - open terminal and type 'sudo xgamma -gamma 0.5'
[00:25] <murkyMurk> SAM_ why not register at evilpsp and ask them? They would be the experts on devhook
[00:25] <shawn_selig29> whats the direction for desktop when i'm in temrnial trying to locate a file
[00:25] <ganjistus> something in uttero configuration
[00:25] <soundray> jack-desktop: I don't understand your question. Tracker works on gutsy
[00:25] <choudesh> installing-mytht: think should bring the gamma a bit - if you see no change then it isn't a gamma problem
[00:25] <shawn_selig29> i tried cd /home/shawn/desktop..and it idnt work
[00:26] <jack-desktop> soundray: Not for me, I type something simple in my home folder like "backgrounds.jpg" and it can't find that.
[00:26] <Mcavity> choudesh : humm that sounds like something interesting if i understand you right.. you manually told it how to mount? how did you do this?
[00:26] <choudesh> shawn_selig29: cd /home/shawn/Desktop (capitol D)
[00:26] <bardyr> (jHey
[00:26] <murkyMurk> shawn_selig29:  capital D in desktop probably
[00:26] <installing-mytht> choudesh:  That helped,, the font is darker,, and I think the number of colors were reduced
[00:26] <shawn_selig29> thxs..lol
[00:26] <choudesh> Mcavity: recompiled the cifs to understand smbmount parameters
[00:27] <choudesh> installing-mytht: hmmm...
[00:27] <bardyr> i have a problem with my wifi+ndiswrapper, my wifi/ndisrapper will first scan when i manually stop and start the wifi on the laptop buttom, is there a way to turn on and off the wifi on boot?
[00:27] <choudesh> installing-mytht: sudo cat /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD/brightness
[00:27] <installing-mytht> choudesh: taking it to 0.2 make's it look almost normal
[00:27] <choudesh> installing-mytht: tell me what it returns
[00:28] <soundray> jack-desktop: is it enabled? System-Preferences-Indexing preferences
[00:28] <Mcavity> choudesh: huhI may be out of my depth.. but it sounds like the right track.. I'm on a gigabit network but my data transfer rates are 1/3 what they should be
[00:28] <choudesh> installing-mytht: nevermind - that last thing won't work.
[00:28] <jack-desktop> soundray: yes, I have indexing and watching enabled.
[00:28] <choudesh> Mcavity: Yea I know. But if you sftp them - they are 3 times faster
[00:28] <Mcavity> choudesh: is there a document on how to do that?
[00:28] <installing-mytht> choudesh:  after the video directory I have no more files
[00:28] <choudesh> Mcavity: if you sftp a file that is. neither samba or cifs have that much overhead.
[00:29] <soundray> jack-desktop: have you given it time to create an index?
[00:29] <thenetduck> soundray: well you were right, the memory shows up with a bunch of red...
[00:29] <choudesh> Mcavity: If you want - you can send me an email and I can give you some directions.
[00:29] <jack-desktop> soundray: is a month or two enough?
[00:29] <thenetduck> soundray: didn't even take hours of testing !
[00:29] <Mcavity> choudesh: cool I'll do that
[00:29] <choudesh> installing-mytht: yea - I kinda figured. play around with xgamma till you find a good setting.
[00:29] <SAM_theman> forget it I am taking off studip
[00:29] <SAM_theman> *studio
[00:29] <choudesh> Mcavity: PM me for my email.
[00:29] <SAM_theman> there seems to be no help for x64
[00:29] <SAM_theman> just install 32
[00:29] <soundray> thenetduck: oh well, time to swap out modules.
[00:30] <michom> i have a problem which i encountered with all distros. the sound in my laptop, i have 2 speakers and 1 woofer, the problem in linux that i have master for speakers and master mono for woofer, is there anyway to combine both instead of controlling each one on its own?
[00:30] <installing-mytht> chouhesg: thanks,, I'll mess around with it, and I'll try to find out more about the drivers,,
[00:30] <soundray> jack-desktop: running all the time?
[00:30] <choudesh> Mcavity: but it still doesn't explain why traffering from nautilus using cifs/smb is so damn slow and sftp is about 3 times faster
[00:30] <jack-desktop> soundray: yes, it has been enabled since day 1, and I usually keep my computer on for days until a reboot
[00:31] <murkyMurk> michom: not that i've ever found - you would hope that 'master' does it all but it doesn't
[00:31] <choudesh> Mcavity: I even set the priority and affinity for ssh down and to only use 333mhz and it still if faster. So I am stumped. ;-)
[00:31] <Mcavity> choudesh: pm sent. I think. [new to xirc]
[00:31] <ganjistus> i think about territorial missing
[00:31] <choudesh> Mcavity: I didn't get it.
[00:31] <ganjistus> maybe you should come as you are
[00:31] <michom> murkyMurk: yes, that's the problem, i have to change both slides to get the sound like "normal"
[00:31] <executionist> i just installed ubuntu, i need some help installing my modem drivers and connecting to the internet (dialup)
[00:31] <choudesh> Mcavity<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[00:31] <Mcavity> choudesh: can you pm me?
[00:32] <Mcavity> got it
[00:32] <choudesh> Mcavity: Really don't care if anyone has my email. Make it look like I am helping more people. ;-)
[00:32] <Mcavity> lol
[00:32] <murkyMurk> michom: I think it's a 'feature' of ALSA sound. I certainly never had the problem with OSS. We just have to live with it I guess
[00:32] <choudesh> Mcavity: or as Todd just said in PM - or it makes me look like I actually has friends.
[00:32] <michom> murkyMurk: so your telling me that there's nothing i can do about it?
[00:33] <Mcavity> LOL
[00:33] <choudesh> michom: what seems to be the issue?
[00:33] <amir_> I uploaded my music to Rythymbox, however all my songs are duplicated.. is there a way to filter doubles?
[00:33] <murkyMurk> michom:  no, I'm telling you that I've never found a solution. You could always ask ALSA direct, they may have an answer
[00:33] <choudesh> Mcavity: I am copying over 1TB, so it gives me time tonight to help out a few people.
[00:33] <michom> choudesh: my speakers and woofer in my laptop have different volume control, master and master mono, i want them combined
[00:34] <Mcavity> that might do it
[00:34] <stonekeeper> hi. I'm on the gutsy live CD and got a promise fakeraid windows partition. I've installed dmraid and activated the raid set and it shows up in /dev/mapper. When i run the installer, it sees it as 2 seperate drives. How will i get it to set up grub properly if the installer isn't seeing the raid set? thanks.
[00:34] <choudesh> michom: lspci -vv and tell me what soundcard / soundcard controller you have
[00:34] <dmi3on> can any one help me to install byrel
[00:34] <soundray> jack-desktop: have you set up the applet properties?

[00:35] <haoasakura> when I see my ip with a command in terminal ?
[00:35] <soundray> jack-desktop: right-click the magnifying glass/lightning symbol and select Preferences
[00:36] <choudesh> michom: what rows do you have under 'sudo alsamixer'
[00:36] <choudesh> dmi3on: themes for what?
[00:36] <murkyMurk> haoasakura: ifconfig
[00:36] <jack-desktop> soundray: and what should i enable in here?
[00:36] <haoasakura> murkyMurk,  thank you man :)
[00:36] <executionist> i am connected through my windows xp, i want to setup internet on ubuntu :(
[00:36] <dmi3on> choudesh: theme for wht the are ?

[00:36] <choudesh> dmi3on: huh?

[00:37] <ganjistus> yeah judo sadomaso

[00:37] <ganjistus> then you can get the drag-queen
[00:37] <amir_> Can someone help me? I uploaded my music to Rythymbox, however all my songs are duplicated.. is there a way to filter doubles? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[00:37] <choudesh> michom: then there is no way to join them. they are two different multiplexers on the controller
[00:37] <jack-desktop> It says "Could not load beagle, libbeagle has been compiled without python bindings" could that be the problem?
[00:37] <choudesh> michom: you can "join" them so they are always at the same level though
[00:37] <soundray> jack-desktop: could be
[00:38] <midvalley> Has anyone gotten songbird to work yet?
[00:38] <dmi3on> choudesh: i try to install beryl manager can you help
[00:38] <jack-desktop> soundray: but other than that - everything enabled that should be
[00:38] <michom> choudesh: yes, all i want is that they keep the same level when one is changed
[00:38] <davejansen> Hey Everybody~! I'm trying to install Wubi on one of my computers, but I keep getting an error during installation (after reboot). It apparently hangs at the kernel installation part for no apparent reason. The ISO the installer downloaded seems to be working just fine. If you need more specific info, please tell me so I can provide it to you. Thanks in advance!
[00:38] <Mcavity> choudesh: ok email sent. I sent what I have done to see that CIFS does not seem to be the default.

[00:39] <Attauk> hey, with a fresh install of ubuntu, I am missing the section 2 man pages, especially those on socket programming and setsockopt, any idea on how I might get them?
[00:39] <stonekeeper> nobody knows about dmraid?

[00:40] <michom> choudesh: thank you i will check that
[00:40] <larson9999> linux rocks!
[00:41] <domor21> would rock if i could boot
[00:41] <choudesh> michom: no problem. If the channel quites down a bit - I will give you a good config for that.
[00:41] <Attauk> larson999, we heard you the first time
[00:41] <domor21> I installe ubuntu, then installed the restricted driver for my gefore 8500gt, then i reboot and ubuntu start loading then the screen just cuts out can somone help me
[00:41] <amir_> Can someone help me? I uploaded my music to Rythymbox, however all my songs are duplicated.. is there a way to filter doubles? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[00:41] <fisknoll> maybeway36: I'm in KDE right now, none of those things had any effect
[00:41] <michom> choudesh: ok let me check and come back to you
[00:41] <BADKITTY> domor: dunno did you try to reconfigure x?????
[00:41] <maybeway36> hmm...
[00:41] <stonekeeper> choudesh: it's ok. The installer has now picked up my dmraid stuff
[00:41] <domor21> BADKITTY: yes
[00:41] <maybeway36> maybe a compiz problem
[00:42] <Mcavity> domor21: did you try booting to terminal?
[00:42] <maybeway36> try typing: metacity --replace
[00:42] <choudesh> stonekeeper: :-D Glad I could help (sorry - giving myself props.:-D )
[00:42] <domor21> Mcavity: whats that
[00:42] <soundray> jack-desktop: I don't know how the index updates are scheduled. The best I can advise is to reboot and let it sit overnight. Feel free to ask the channel again, though.
[00:42] <Attauk> any idea why movie viewing crashes on a compiz enabled system?
[00:42] <ltgg> can anyone suggest a channel devoted to linux multimedia?
[00:42] <jack-desktop> soundray: i used the "Search for files" program and it found it
[00:42] <fisknoll> maybeway36: ahh, that worked, thank you
[00:42] <executionist> how do i connect to the internet with ubuntu ?
[00:42] <Mcavity> domor21: on boot up you will see 2 boot options.. the default and the other one...
[00:42] <gloin> Hey, as a recent immigrant from SuSE to Ubuntu, one of the things I really miss a lot is the ability to select a particular kernel/OS/whatever from the reboot confirmation prompt.  Is there a pre-built package somewhere that I'm not seeing in adept, or do I get to fight with "rebootin" script?
[00:42] <soundray> jack-desktop: so you're sorted?
[00:43] <jack-desktop> soundray: no because tracker still doesn't work ;p
[00:43] <domor21> Mcavity: yes i can boot into that (reconvery mode)
[00:43] <amir_> Can someone help me? I uploaded my music to Rythymbox, however all my songs are duplicated.. is there a way to filter doubles? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[00:43] <jack-desktop> soundray: but i'll see if this beagle thing will work, thanks.
[00:43] <Mcavity> domor21: ok then your on the way to fixing it.
[00:43] <gloin> amir_: probably best to ask the rythymbox folks about that
[00:43] <fisknoll> maybeway36: that last thing worked
[00:43] <maybeway36> good
[00:43] <maybeway36> so it is probably a problem with compiz
[00:43] <choudesh> amir_: quickest way is to remove all files and readd everthing
[00:43] <soundray> jack-desktop: as far as I understand it, they work hand-in-hand
[00:43] <domor21> Mcavity: how im a total newbie i had been using linux for 5 mins befoe this happened
[00:43] <ganjistus> my friend works at burgerworld, and he try to install ubuntu on his coffe machine
[00:43] <maybeway36> you could try getting rid of packages with "compiz" in the name
[00:43] <fisknoll> ok, maybeway36, thank you
[00:43] <domor21> then i rebooted and now
[00:43] <stonekeeper> choudesh: :) I'd installed dmraid from the CD but the partitioner doesn't detect it unless it's mounted. (Why isn't dmraid on the CD by default? o.O)
[00:43] <Mcavity> domor21: you need to go to etc>x11>xorg.conf and edit that file
[00:43] <Attauk> amir_ if im not mistaking rhytmbox uses a database to store the files, flush everything and add the files again
[00:43] <ganjistus> how can i help him?, it works now with billdos
[00:44] <domor21> ok how do i edit aht file
[00:44] <murkyMurk> amir_: it's to do with the mp3 tags...if they aren't perfect then Rythmn box can get messy
[00:44] <pwnt-> everything is full in volume, and using totem player. but the volume isnt that high... I barely hear >_<
[00:44] <jack-desktop> soundray: how do i open  up the "search for files" program?
[00:44] <yoyoned> #gentoo
[00:44] <choudesh> stonekeeper: I don't get into the realm of default-cd. ;-) But you can add it to the hardy wishlist.
[00:44] <soundray> jack-desktop: right-click on the applet
[00:44] <amir_> Thanks.. ill try removing all files and readding them
[00:44] <domor21> mcavity: how do i edit that file
[00:44] <Mcavity> domor21: you need to go to etc>x11>xorg.conf and edit that file or copy the previous version of that file over top of the bad one.
[00:44] <shockwaver> I'm not sure what the decorum is for asking questions. Can I post a link to an ubuntuforums.org thread I have that never got a response?
[00:44] <davejansen> More clarification on the error, virtual terminal #4 tells me this: Errors were encountered while processing: /cdrom//pool/main/linux-source-2.6.20/linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic_2.6.20-15.27_i386.deb

[00:44] <davejansen> Sub-process: /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[00:44] <davejansen> Which makes me believe that somehow the iso is corrupted. Any help?
[00:44] <soundray> jack-desktop: sorry, I mean left-click
[00:44] <jack-desktop> soundray: I already enabled it that way - is there another way to get to it though?
[00:44] <domor21> Macivty: how do i endt it
[00:44] <stonekeeper> choudesh: ok. Well, it was on the gutsy wishlist... :)
[00:45] <soundray> jack-desktop: left clck
[00:45] <domor21> macity: do i just open it
[00:45] <ganjistus> with billDos 3.1 or something
[00:45] <choudesh> stonekeeper: was it? ;-)
[00:45] <murkyMurk> shockwaver: !ask
[00:45] <Mcavity> domor21: personally I use midnight commander. it makes my life easier]
[00:45] <shockwaver> !ask
[00:45] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[00:45] <jack-desktop> soundray: I mean, another way to get to it without using the desktop applet
[00:45] <murkyMurk> :-)
[00:45] <domor21> Mcavity: whats mindnight commander
[00:45] <killown|away> there is any software to Linux GPU benchmarks?
[00:45] <ganjistus> domor: its a norton commander clone
[00:45] <jack-desktop> soundray: nevermind - it's in the "places" menu
[00:46] <Mcavity> domor21: at the teminal type mc
[00:46] <dmi3on> does any one know how to instal beryl

[00:46] <maybeway36> no
[00:46] <gloin> cripes, what a mess ;)

[00:51] <stonekeeper> choudesh:  :)
[00:51] <ganjistus> mcavity: yes easy just use a few pins and make a hole into the speaker, the sound gets a bit smoother
[00:51] <choudesh> stonekeeper: there are many of us that help out. Thank the channel - not myself.
[00:52] <eltux> murkyMurk: It only shows one option being headphone for it, how can I change it so it says 5.1 Surround sound or w/e?

[00:53] <talphin> how do I keep from doing sudo modprobe ndiswrapper?
[00:53] <talphin> my wireless card wont come on at boot
[00:54] <domor> mcavity: error coucldn; install
[00:54] <choudesh> talphin: add the module to /etc/modules
[00:54] <Mcavity> domor: try sudo apt-get install mc
[00:54] <domor> mcavity: ok
[00:54] <murkyMurk> eltux: cool, i think my surrounds were known as wave SUR
[00:54] <talphin> choudesh, I dont see a module folder
[00:54] <tony_> I accidentally killed the volume control applet in the systray and forgot to take note of what it was called. How do I rerun it?
[00:54] <pocketprotector> my friend was using this window manager and he was switching in between windows in a 3d cube.
[00:54] <talphin> modutils?
[00:54] <tony_> (and restarting doesn't seem to rerun it)
[00:55] <eltux> murkymurk: it only shows headphone, it doesn't show surrounds or SUR
[00:55] <stonekeeper> choudesh: lol. I'm still no wiser ;)
[00:55] <choudesh> talphin: it is a file
[00:55] <domor> mcavity: think it ight have worked
[00:55] <Mcavity> pocketprotector: compiz -fusion
[00:55] <choudesh> talphin: open terminal, gksu gedit /etc/modules and add ndiswrapper to it
[00:55] <murkyMurk> tony_: rigth click the bar, add to panel and add the volume thingy
[00:55] <pocketprotector> sweet thank you. is that for KDE or GNome?
[00:55] <Mcavity> domor: type "sudo mc" now
[00:55] <choudesh> stonekeeper: yea. I should apply to become a member....one of these days. ;-)
[00:55] <domor> didn't wok
[00:55] <Mcavity> pocketprotector: both
[00:56] <ubuntu> anyone know if the VT8378 S3 UniChrome integrated video is compatible with 7.10 Gutsy?
[00:56] <murkyMurk> eltux: that sounds like your hardware is not fully supported which is unusual - what soundcard is it?
[00:56] <domor> V it can;t find the packages on the thins where they donlowad form (resprotory maybe
[00:56] <domor> mcavity: mc hasn;t installed can't find packages on the net
[00:56] <domor> mcavity: now what?
[00:56] <Mcavity> domor: type "apt-get update"
[00:57] <tony_> murkyMurk: Thanks. Now back to the original problem that had me futzing around with it. I want to bring it over to another window manager. So how do I run it from a commandline? :P
[00:57] <domor> mcavity: files failed to download
[00:57] <eltux> murkyMurk: Realtek ALC880 is what it says, I'm not totally sure myself. I've always used xp and had surround sound :| Do you suppose there are drivers out there somewhere for it?
[00:57] <choudesh> Mcavity: what package is he looking for?
[00:57] <murkyMurk> tony_: i just use alsamixer
[00:57] <slvmchn> eltux what's your chipset
[00:57] <Mcavity> choudesh: trying to install midnight commander
[00:58] <eltux> slvmchn: Realtek ALC880 (Its on my mobo)
[00:58] <choudesh> Mcavity: apt-get install mc
[00:58] <domor> mcavity: i think it not installing can;t find them onmy package server thing whihc im using a new zealand one
[00:58] <choudesh> Mcavity: I believe it is in the multi or universe.
[00:58] <tony_> Good point. All I *really* *really* *really* needed was the nm-applet, and that was cake to get to work.
[00:58] <choudesh> Mcavity: universe. if he can't find it - tell him to add universe
[00:58] <choudesh> Mcavity: ~rather enable it.
[00:59] <thenetduck> what advantages does compiling a program from source vs install the .deb file have?
[00:59] <murkyMurk> eltux: linux sound (on Ubuntu) is handled by ALSA. ALSA have drivers for practically all soundcards but usually it's all automatic - i'll just check on ALC880
[00:59] <domor> choudesh: how do i do that
[00:59] <Mcavity> choudesh: hes stuck in terminal mode
[00:59] <choudesh> Mcavity: I didn't mean to butt in. Don't take it that way - just adding my 2 cents.
[00:59] <Mcavity> choudesh: hes stuck i wanted to get mc so that editing his xorg.conf would be easyer.
[00:59] <Mcavity> choudesh: please.. butt in.. grin
[01:00] <choudesh> domor: what seems to be the issue?
[01:00] <domor> choudesh: im stuck in recovery mode (terminal)
[01:00] <KI4IKL> I just installed ubuntu fesity on my laptop, I get some errors after enabling the universe and multiverse repositories and I can't find ndiswrapper-common or the utils package in the synaptic or with apt-cache search

[01:04] <Mcavity> choudesh: heh well.. it was never really for single user systems.

[01:07] <gnomelook44> How do i reinstall awn

[01:09] <jmon366> Whenever I try to run a .run file it gives a error "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding"
[01:09] <choudesh> domor: if xserver config doesn't work - we will reinstall the drivers.
[01:09] <superpenguin> I'm having trouble with xrandr.  On gutsy, I used the command 'xrandr --output DVI-0 --left-of VGA-0' which worked fine until after reboot.  Now xrandr returns no errors but instead enables a desktop where the 'main' half of the desktop is cloned and the other half (that should be showing on monitor#2) is not visible, however windows will move and/or be created on it.  Please pm me or use my nick.
[01:09] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , can u post it
[01:09] <eltux> shockweaver: kay, thanks
[01:09] <ganjistus> yeah gozilla works, but you should try king-kong if it won't

[01:14] <harry_> have tried several times several days//
[01:14] <harry_> still no luck\

[01:14] <julio3patas> choudesh: seems like u are busy :)
[01:14] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , did u change to root

[01:14] <vasilisa> How do you configure an ATI card to work well? I followed the site's instructions and set up the proprietary driver, only to find that all 2d including KDE were slow and choppy. Furthermore, when i ran openarena, all of the textures were messed up (but it ran)
[01:15] <gnomelook44> ahmad: root?
[01:15] <gnomelook44> ahmad: im new sorry
[01:15] <murkyMurk> harry_: using the command line sudo apt-get update will even tell you which repository is failing

[01:15] <Mcavity> choudesh is the man =)
[01:15] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , write this cmd

[01:15] <ganjistus> run files?, maybe from a courier
[01:16] <domor> choudesh: im restarting hopefully it works
[01:16] <Mcavity> vasilisa : depends on the card. and which driver you installed
[01:16] <jmon366> murkymark: ati, and a game website, and java, and much more...
[01:16] <gnomelook44> ahmad: ok im in root
[01:16] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , rewrite the install cmd
[01:16] <harry_> How do you get into ???   Root ???   I type su then my password fails
[01:16] <domor> choudesh: screen turned off again! :(
[01:17] <murkyMurk> jmon366: some/most .run files come as non-executable. You must make it runnable by using the chmod +x command. This WILL be in the readme for that file
[01:17] <mikebeecham> can anyone help me at all?
[01:17] <ahmad> harry , write sudo -i

[01:17] <ubotu> harry_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[01:18] <domor> choudesh: im in different computer to oneim trying to fix
[01:18] <Rajaef> what do you mean...??
[01:18] <gnomelook44> ahmad: it said package not found

[01:19] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , ok

[01:21] <Pelo> domor,  if you have xp running on this comp use xp to get to the nvidia site and save the driver to a usb flash or a cd , then you can install it from the comman d line in the recovery mode,  I 'm not an expert on this, this is as much as I can tell you

[01:23] <ganjistus> only god can help
[01:23] <Pelo> domor,  for the vesa thing,  when you get the question and answer part of dpkg-reconfigure  you get a question about selecting your chipset or dirver or card not sure which is it ,  been a while,  nvidia might be mentionned intell probably is in the list,  vesa should be in as well,   don't select a very high res when asked or a heavy color depth
[01:23] <ganjistus> but ubuntu is atheistic
[01:23] <storrgie> hello
[01:23] <Pelo> mosibfu,  I'm not an expert in nvidia as I mentioned but donor seems to be in deep doodoo
[01:23] <murkyMurk> harry_: givre.cabspace.com never heard of it. Probably best to run synaptic and cleanse your repository list
[01:23] <Pelo> danbhfive, any file extension in particular ?
[01:24] <domor> pelo: select like a 16 bit inseated of 25 and real low res

[01:24] <choudesh> domor: search http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us for the linux driver
[01:24] <danbhfive> well, it was a .rar, in feisty, file extentions were ignored, and files were run on programs based on the format
[01:24] <Pelo> domor, 800x640 and 256 colors,  just to get you going so you can do the work and get the proper driver,  restricted if you can , binary if restricted don'T work

[01:25] <danbhfive> now, it just tells me that it wont run, and tells me the extention that I need to change it to

[01:44] <gunspoja> I'm going to install gutsy on a brand-spankin' new pc, and I'm planning to dual-boot with windows xp.  how should I set up the partitioning, and in which order should I install ubuntu and windows?
[01:44] <demon_spork> guspoja, windows first
[01:44] <z07jcc> I seem to be having a problem with startup. I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 and I keep getting a boot error during startup
[01:44] <gunspoja> i know that if you install windows after, it overwrites grub, but then I've had numerous instances where I get grub error 21 when installing ubuntu at a partition towards the end of a drive
[01:44] <Pelo> gunspoja, windows first , pre-partition using gparged on the live cd, it will save you re partitioning when you install ubuntu
[01:44] <demon_spork> guspoja, other than that, it doesn't really matter, as long as you have 3 partitions, one for windows, one for ubuntu, and one for linux swap
[01:45] <foldart> gunspoja: windows first, allocating whatever you need for it and leaving the rest free.  The ubuntu installer will install into the free space
[01:45] <vizion|metA> Could anyone help me with Ubuntu 7.10 and my x800 pro, I'm trying to get the fglrx drivers working but I bootup with a black screen. I posted a thread on the ubuntu forums with what i've tried and my xorg.conf if anyones willing
[01:45] <gunspoja> I get the impression that grub wants to be at the start of the disk for some reason
[01:45] <z07jcc> I am only able to get in by putting in the install disc and going to the boot from hard drive 1 option
[01:45] <gunspoja> a friend of mine got completely turned off of ubuntu due to this problem actually
[01:45] <gunspoja> stupid error 21
[01:45] <mosibfu> gunspoja: grub will install on mbr, master boot record, it is not on disk itself, but more like, on the disk's bios
[01:45] <gunspoja> yeah i know
[01:45] <gunspoja> I'm taking about the ubuntu partition, not grub
[01:45] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , hmmm  , sorry i do not know how to solve this , i would post the issue again , ask them hier , anybody have an expierience with such think may help u
[01:45] <mosibfu> gunspoja: rest shuld not matter at all ;)
[01:46] <Jimmi_jones> can anyone here help me out getting a broadcom 4311 working on a fresh 7.10 install?
[01:46] <gunspoja> well, it obviously does
[01:46] <Pelo> gunspoja, error 21 just means you need to edit menu.lst to point to the correct partiton for ubuntu
[01:46] <gunspoja> because I've had NUMEROUS times where grub error 21 occurs when the ubuntu partition isnt right at the start of the disk
[01:46] <rbil> gunspoja: grub is normally installed in /boot/grub on your / partition. the MBR is another thing and is usually installed on hda or hd0 as grub refers to it
[01:46] <gnomelook44> Does anybody know how to fix a line in my awn manager
 gunspoja, error 21 just means you need to edit menu.lst to point to the correct partiton for ubuntu
[01:47] <gunspoja> mosibfu, and why wouldnt it point at the correct partition in the first place?  its just been installed
[01:47] <gunspoja> one would think that the installer would tell grub where the correct partition is
[01:47] <mosibfu> gunspoja: that i dont know, but i have had ubuntu on the last 20 gb of a 250 gb disk..
[01:47] <gunspoja> instead of leaving it up to the user to manually fix their broken boot loader
[01:48] <gunspoja> mosibfu, yeah it doesnt always happen.  sometimes it works, which is even more infuriating because its so inconsistent
[01:48] <Pelo> gunspoja, usualy someone messed up with the number of partitons on the hdd or the boot order of the hdd with leaves grub a bit confused
[01:48] <dav7> ///win 6
[01:48] <dav7> oops
[01:48] <eltux> murkymurk: well my microphone works now but it still only allows for microphone instead of all the channels
[01:48] <gunspoja> Pelo, no, it was a clean install of ubuntu in a partition after one where windows xp sits
[01:48] <Kanuha> is there a free program simular to vmware workstation that I can run on my Athlon 64 pc?
[01:48] <eltux> !wine | kanuha
[01:48] <ubotu> kanuha: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[01:49] <gnomelook44> ahmad: fixed it lol!
[01:49] <rbil> eltux: wine is not even close to being like vmware
[01:49] <Pelo> gunspoja, grub phase ones installs in the boot sector of the boot hdd, that is a must  phase two is where ever the linux file system is
[01:49] <domor> wiht is vmware?
[01:49] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , lol , how
[01:49] <eltux> rbil: I know but its a start
[01:49] <massmurder> hello
[01:49] <gunspoja> also, how can you edit the menu.lst when you cant boot the OS
[01:49] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> rbil, depends wat u need
[01:49] <c_plus_plus> hello, quick question: what option do i need to put in fstab in order to keep nautilus from putting an icon in the Computer folder?
[01:49] <gunspoja> theres nothing to edit it WITH
[01:49] <massmurder> hey guys
[01:49] <mosibfu> kanuha: after 1 google search: Virtualbox
[01:49] <eltux> rbil: it still lets you emulate what you need
[01:49] <massmurder> im a complete
[01:49] <rbil> eltux: what kinda start? a start to where? to what?
[01:49] <massmurder> noob
[01:49] <massmurder> can some1 help me with wine?
[01:50] <rbil> eltux: neither is an emulator
[01:50] <gnomelook44> ahmad: in the awn appearance setting, there was an availible plugin show desktop i disabled it and bingo
[01:50] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> rbil, if you hate wine then just stop talking about it
[01:50] <eltux> rbil: fine. my bad.
[01:50] <massmurder> can some 1 help me with it?
[01:50] <rbil> [Gutsy]TuTUXG: who said I hated wine? just that when someone asks for something like vmware, wine certainly ain't it
[01:50] <gunspoja> massmurder, #winehq
[01:50] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> rbil, vmware IS an emulator
[01:51] <mosibfu> gunspoja, boot from live cd, and use a text editor (started by sudo) then you can, without any problem, edit the menu.lst
[01:51] <domor> is vmware better than wine?
[01:51] <rbil> [Gutsy]TuTUXG: certainly is not
[01:51] <gunspoja> domor, they are different things
[01:51] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> domor, depends
[01:51] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , aha , good  info.
[01:51] <gunspoja> neither is unambiguously better than the other
[01:51] <mosibfu> domor, vmware is something totally different, you cannot compare the 2
[01:51] <santh> how to set password for zip files
[01:51] <Kanuha> mosibfu, yeah, I saw that one. I was hoping someone had some experience to share on which one to use.
[01:51] <c_plus_plus> What option do i need to put in fstab in order to keep nautilus from putting an icon in the Computer folder?
[01:52] <talphin> what other distro can someone recommend to me that is worth trying out?
[01:52] <danbhfive> c++: you mean you want it to not be auto mounted?
[01:52] <c_plus_plus> danbhfive: i want it automounted, but I don't want an icon in the computer folder.
[01:53] <c_plus_plus> i want it mounted at boot
[01:53] <barbender> i am getting seg fault when running mplayer in gutsy, any ideas ?

[01:57] <Lapinux> Pelo: system wont boot :)
[01:57] <gnomelook44> ahmad: thats the file's name
[01:57] <Pelo> Lapinux,  with the super grub cd right ?
[01:57] <gnomelook44> ahmad: ohh 1 sec
[01:57] <rbil> CCB0x45: see man zip .... for examples
[01:57] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , hhh :)  http://www.heise.de/software/download/compiz/48901

[01:57] <rbil> CCB0x45: sorry ... man unzip
[01:58] <barbender> Pelo, are you talking about gnome desktop ? i am using xfce
[01:58] <atlfalcons866> time to watch family guy XD
[01:58] <RaGzKiE> guys i need to increase the size of my 2nd partition. it looks like this right now: http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/9938/screenshotzs6.png
[01:58] <Pelo> barbender,  yes i was talking about gnome,  I have no idea where you would start it in xcfe , try asking in #xubuntu if anyone is around
[01:59] <domor> When you have wine does it inable you to instll windwos apps in linux or does it just let you run window apps from windows hdd
[01:59] <Pelo> Lapinux, how old is this install of ubuntu on your comp ?
[01:59] <gunspoja> how large should I set a swap partition to, with 2gb of ram?
[01:59] <Lapinux> Pelo: brand new on the one im having issues with
[01:59] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> domor, i can install warhammer with wine
[01:59] <Pelo> domor,  it won't run windows apps from your windows install , you have to install the aps in wine
[01:59] <gnomelook44> ahmad: using google to translate page =P
[01:59] <gunspoja> Pelo, thats not necessarily true
[01:59] <domor> o ok
[01:59] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> Pelo, u can, with some apps
[01:59] <Lapinux> Pelo: i have a ide drive as storage, it says its hdc, then i have 2 sata drives
[01:59] <Pelo> Lapinux,  just clean install it , it will be easier,  the grub issue will take care of itself
[01:59] <gunspoja> I can run several windows apps that I have installed, from their root directories, quite easily
[02:00] <talphin> what other distro can someone recommend to me that is worth trying out?
[02:00] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , u do not have to translate , just klick download
[02:00] <barbender> Pelo, ok i will try, but do you know the background of this issue, i assume thousands of people using mplayer on ubuntu ...
[02:00] <gnomelook44> ahmad: umm what should i download the 0.4 or the 0.6?
[02:00] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> Pelo, just copy the installed folder to wine's drive_c dir
[02:00] <Lapinux> Pelo: i dont think it will, it was a fresh install, and it didnt work
[02:00] <comicinke1> RaGzKiE: start from a live-cd, make a image of your ext2 partition, delete it, resize ntfs, play back your image
[02:00] <Pelo> Lapinux,  my recommendation is that you change the boot hdd in the bios to the hdd you will install ubuntu on before you install ubuntu
[02:00] <gunspoja> [Gutsy]TuTUXG, thats unnecessary
[02:00] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , i was trying .4
[02:01] <domor> what does the swap partion do?
[02:01] <Pelo> [Gutsy]TuTUXG, do not confuse the issue  please
[02:01] <Lapinux> Pelo: it was set to sata, which is where i installed ubuntu
[02:01] <gunspoja> why do all you guys keep on saying that you can't run apps from their windows installs.  yes you CNA
[02:01] <gunspoja> *CAN (lol)
[02:01] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> gunspoja, right, if u can rw ur ntfs partition
[02:01] <Pelo> Lapinux, unplug the storage hdd before proceeding you can add it to grub after ward
[02:01] <Pelo> I mean add it to fstab
[02:01] <Lapinux> Pelo: i was going to reinstall without the ide drive hooked up, then hook it up later, am stil afaid it will mess up when i do hook it up
[02:01] <Pelo> domor,  memory extension
[02:01] <gunspoja> well, yea, why would you not rw the ntfs partition
[02:02] <domor> o ok
[02:02] <gunspoja> domor: swap space stores data that would normally go into ram when the OS decides that it shouldn't
[02:02] <domor> pelo: when you do dual boot where does grib go
[02:02] <gunspoja> like when the RAM is getting full
[02:02] <Pelo> Lapinux, it shouldn'T not as long as it is not set as the boot hdd
[02:02] <Lapinux> Pelo: ? if its a storage drive, i wouldnt add it to grub ?
[02:02] <gunspoja> if you have no swap space, your RAM gets full, and a process wants to add data to ram, it can't and bad things happen
[02:02] <Pelo> domor, grub is in two parts,   phase one goes on the boot sector of the boot hdd,  phase two goes in the ubuntu filesystem
[02:02] <domor> no im saying where does GRUb get installed
[02:03] <gnomelook44> ahmad: how do i install the tar.gz file?
[02:03] <Lapinux> Pelo: well my thought was the bios treats the ide's as the first drives and the sata after that, even though i tell it to boot sata first
[02:03] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> in /boot
[02:03] <Pelo> Lapinux, grub should only list  OS not drives
[02:03] <gunspoja> how large should I set a swap partition to, with 2gb of ram?
[02:04] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> 4 gb
[02:04] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , from your terminal write tar -xzvf compiz....the full name
[02:04] <Pelo> Lapinux,that might be a problem , if I understand what you mean correctly but at this point we are getting a bit over my head
[02:04] <gunspoja> :/
[02:04] <domor> gunspoja: 38.9 gig
[02:04] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> theoretically
[02:04] <danbhfive> gunspoja: I have 2 gig ram, and I never use the swap partition
[02:04] <gunspoja> why 4gb? that seems like a fair bit
[02:04] <rbil> gunspoja: more than 2gb ... 3 would be fine
[02:04] <gunspoja> I've heard many times that the "2x your ram" rule is not very good
[02:04] <danbhfive> gunspoja: at 2g, you only need swap for hibernation
[02:04] <domor> wouldn;t the bigger the swap the better
[02:04] <gunspoja> yeah unless you actually use the 2gb :P
[02:04] <gmw_> How do I update individual programs, i.e. get the newest version of Gimp?
[02:04] <gunspoja> domor, no
[02:04] <Pelo> Lapinux,  leave the storage hdd in then, put it as boot hdd, in the bios and let phase one of grub install to it , that will solve the problem but you won't be able to boot fi you remove the storage hdd afterward
[02:05] <meta4ical> Could anyone help me with Ubuntu 7.10 and my x800 pro, I'm trying to get the fglrx drivers working but I bootup with a black screen. I posted a thread on the ubuntu forums with what i've tried and my xorg.conf if anyones willing? :(
[02:05] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> gunspoja, right, but "theoretically" it should double the ram
[02:05] <gunspoja> domor, swap doesn't improve performance at all
[02:05] <gunspoja> [Gutsy]TuTUXG, why is that?
[02:05] <robjo> lost beryl, anyone know how to get it back on 7.04? Was working this afternooon, then shut down the machine, now after the reboot it will no longer load?????
[02:05] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , then enter the new uncompressed compiz folder from the terminal , and write  ./configure
[02:05] <rbil> gunspoja: with 2gb of RAM probably only use swap for hibernation, if u use that
[02:05] <Pelo> gmw_,  you would need to intall it from  source or a deb files , you get those from the aps website,
[02:05] <domor> meta4ical\: ive had the same problem twice im reinstalling ubuntu now
[02:05] <gunspoja> nah nobody ever uses hibernation :P
[02:05] <gnomelook44> ahmad: didnt work
[02:05] <Pelo> gmw_,  gutsy already has the latest gimp
[02:05] <Pelo> brian27015, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[02:05] <brian27015> sorry
[02:05] <Lapinux> Pelo: yeah, i understand that
[02:05] <rbil> robjo: are you starting Beryl Manager?
[02:05] <domor> meta4ical: apparantly you can insall a binary driver or osmething pelo was aying
[02:05] <gmw_> I'm on Feisty and can't upgrade (HP laptop issues)
[02:06] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> gunspoja, one reason is make hibernate works properly
[02:06] <ahmad> gnomelook44 , wt did u write
[02:06] <gmw_> So I need to do a full install?
[02:06] <danbhfive> gunspoja: I remember that doubling standard from windows
[02:06] <Riyonuk> I need some ideas on a website. What would you guys like to see?
[02:06] <gnomelook44> ahmad, go to the chat i opened
[02:06] <robjo> rbil: yes I am get the little diamond displayed, but it's not working.
[02:06] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> gunspoja, that's y i said "theoretically"
[02:06] <robjo> rbil: checked the setting still look OK.

[02:08] <domor> pelo: im jus6 en to try it once i get ubuntu up and running
[02:08] <ahmad> gnomelook44 ,  first go where u saved your compiz    then write the cmd with the complete name , this means tell the .tar.gz
[02:08] <demon_spork> whenever I try to boot Windows from grub, it just says "Starting Up..."  and then has a blinking "_" underneath that.  then it just sits there forever, never booting windows!! please help.  after it doesn't boot windows, Grub won't load again until I set the "boot" flag to the boot partition, it gets deflagged each time
[02:08] <domor> Pelo: first i need to install that binary driver or what ever it's called
[02:08] <rbil> robjo: but if there's a prob with beryl it falls back to using metacity. just right click on diamond and choose to use beryl
[02:08] <gnomelook44> ahmad: so whats the command its saved to desktop
[02:08] <rbil> robjo: from Select Window Manager
