Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion

hello

markw_: then you should know how to fix this

anyone experienced with TFTP?

!hi | atmat

atmat: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

11:01PM nohup: install linux-backports-modules-intrepid, and reboot.

11:01PM nohup: install linux-backports-modules-intrepid, and reboot.

oops

anyway, i did that with 0 result

nohup: hehe

my 'darkroom' theme is looking strange, serveral widgets remain white

(gotto get used to this tiny keyboard.... getting loads of accidental pasts :) )

atmat: just ask the question

stimpie: Offtopic maybe?

hspaans: it's telling me it's up to date, but obviously it's not.

hspaans: I'll get it.

when i go to upgrade to 8.10, i get this: "This computer is currently using the NVIDIA 'nvidia' graphics driver. No version of this driver is available that works with your video card in Ubuntu 8.10.". Will I be left without a driver, or will I get an alternative installed?

Flare183, I dont think its displayed correct (based on internet screen shots)

I'm trying to install Ubuntu via TFTP

atmat: *boggles* Why?

d0wn: you will use the one from X.org when it has one

hello?

phil99: are you the dreambox guy? I'm trying with TFTP because the CDRom is broken

hi

it's a laptop

i am trying to download 8.10

anyone had any luck getting java to work in 8.10 64 bit?

downloading it was the easy part!

stimpie: imagebin it and give me the link

took 12 mins

but all the servers download very slowly

hspaans: but will i be left without a video driver at all after this upgrade?

!xgl

!xgl

Sorry, I don't know anything about xgl

give me one fast server plz

pvinis:use a torrent

i used the uk canonical one

torrents FTW

atmat: the dreambox guy? Gonna assume no because I don't know what you mean! Can't you get any OS on there to start from? Floppy/USB boot?

can you give me a torrent? :D

some guy on slashdot got it in 2 mins using a torrent, allegedly

pvinis:google mininova, get one there..

now i fucked up so much pressing wrong keys that i filled my scrollbackbuffer too far :) what was that payed supprt channel again ? :)

maybe someone plays Colonization on Linux?

d0wn: worst case you will use the VESA driver

hold on pvinis i'll get you one

phil99: USB boot, I don't know how to do that, TFTP.

Anyone have any experience with Sansa e250 v2's and Ubuntu ? I can't seem to get it to detect the player. I've tried both MTP and MSC, even installed mtptools, didn't help...

I've been having some trouble with my Atheros WiFi card. Network Manager seems to disable it when I suspend my computer, and doesn't "forget" the AP's. Therefor, if I move it tries to connect to an AP that isn't there.

compiz 3d windows doesn't work on my 8.10 - does a control alt backspace thingy

hspaans: okay, thanks

as soon as i rotate the cube

ok i will try torrentz

pvinis, here you go http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent

anyone played levelhead?

thx i found one

assuming you need 32bit

wih is the best option for an intel core quad ubuntu 32 or 64?

i am dling the 64bit one

openarena 0.8.0 seems to work but sometimes the front end corrupts visually and you have to reload

stimpie: I know exactly what you need hold on let me find it

wich

64bit seems fine but no java in firefox 3.0.3

Poldie, do you have compiz enabled ?

you must be kidding

wgrant: i installed it from scratch.. wasn't an update from the beta... i guess that's why all the 'workarounds' aren't working for me...

Poldie, there is a java plugin for firefox on amd64

anyone else having a hard time with the us ubuntu mirrors? apt-get upgrade is taking me forever for apps, < 1k sec

anyone got nvidia problem solved ? i can't enable or activate my nvidia

in ibex

kris_, release day overload

so joao irmao wich is the best optioni?

joa: yes, compiz is fine (rotate cube, wobbly windows) but not 3d windows. as soon as i rotate the sessoins reboots

joaopinto: new release today? woah didn't know

bingungaja: for 8.10?

kris_: thousands of people are upgradig, it's normal

hspaans : yes

ok, no worries then

travis_, I am using amd64, your choise :)

choice

btw.. i love ubuntu:p

How do we know if our machine is recognizing both cores? System-monitor is only showing one.

much faster to download alternate cd through torrent and upgrade from that

joa: can't get java working in the browser though. tried ice tea but it's only partially working

java and flash working fine?

what partition type do I use for /boot ?

Have they fix the bug that made it impossible to start ubuntu with an usb connected?

porter1: systemp monitor shows all 4 cores on my pc in 64bit

rubbs-> i think it is common, so you have to re-associate to the nearest workin AP instead of relying on whats in the cache

usb-disk *

I need help getting sound/video working on my g45 motherboard.

Wavesonics: why not ext3?

Mulder: nope, that didn't work either, i even tried your xorg.conf but it just told me (after i rebooted) that the device didn't exist

Poldie, for some reason, it isn't on mine. Is there a certain package that has to be included to utilize both cores?

im about to install 8.10 but i dont know wich version to get for an intel core quad 32 or 64 bit

rubbs: I gave up on network manager and switched to wicd which does the job perfectly for me

porter1, cat /proc/cpuinfo

Ok, i'm using cfdisk, for type what do I put? 83 - Linux ?

travis_, both work fine

travis_: 32bit, its easier
