|{urse lemme know when it's done, you have some kind of flood control on that
rww: besides that is how firefox plays embedded content, as far as I am aware
ActionParsnip, thanks
"Ex-Chat"
malcom2073: im seeing lots of black screen issues from the X1950
malcom2073: your not getting that right?
Mythril: If that doesn't help, I'm not sure how to help you. I just remember that preference tab helped me when stuff was opening in the wrong application.
B3z3rk3r: Right. I'm getting 3d being borked (polygons flying all over the place, really weird), and 2d is overlaying over the entire desktop flashing at its regular framerate, but being overwritten by a window. Very epileptic seizure like.
hello guys how can i free up the alt key in kde to use inside of blender?
its like it has been reserved by the system or something
how do install virtual box
malcom2073, there u go
Nick_Meister, ask in #kubuntu they might know more
i pasted the important bits
when you have you xorg.conf run gstreamer-properties and set the noxv option uder the video tab
its the only way i can get my x1950 working
!keyboard | Nick_Meister
malcom2073: actually, it looks like i have an onboard intel chip, never mind
Nick_Meister: To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts
Anyone ever had the issue with "Printer port busy" that's the error I get whenever I try to print anything, but my queue is empty (until I print that page, then it just sits in queue)
|{urse: alright I'll give that a try, thanks
malcom2073: wow.. thats pretty crazy sounding. Havent come across anything like that on th forums yet
aboucher: install package "virtualbox-ose" from Synaptic or from the terminal: "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose"
i went and did a ps aux when my problem was occuring
root 5724 15.9 3.7 90252 77144 tty7 SLs+ Dec08 237:38 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
malcom2073: but i've definitely had ATI chips that worked fine before
^^ good luck that card is a mess
is SATA 300 something different than standard SATA support? wondering what to look for to figure out if my computer can support it
the problem occurs when that process goes to 100
B3z3rk3r: I've seen the polygon problem before in older games when you have a REALLY outdated video card, but never in anything modern.
evilgnome: What executable are you looking for?
/usr/bin/emerald
|{urse pasted me some xorg.conf file stuff, it could be mine is just plain set wrong
ima try taht
jo joo

evilgnome: I wont be able to help you in here if you don't use my nick
sorry gyus...i have followed the guide to sync my smartphone on ubuntu....all warks fine and i successfully made a syncronization with evolution with evo2sync but in evolution i dont have no contacts....why????
soreau: sorry. /usr/bin/emerald. but also /usr/bin/emerald-theme-manager is gone, too
afk... someone at the door
malcom2073: no, unfortunately :(
That is plain unfortunate, and come to think of it odd.
I know if you boot without x, you can start/stop it without logging out
!usb

I guess X is pre-login?
evilgnome: sudo ap-get --reinstall install emerald
gaaah
rww even if he ran it in screen?
ACTION pulls out his hair
malcom2073: X11 is usually started in Ubuntu from GDM, which is pre-login, yes.
malcom2073: the least-invasive method is Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
Demios: ?
malcom2073: and that still closes all running GUI programs
ActionParsnip: thanks, I've tried reinstalling
eseven73: what?
evilgnome: and since you're getting help in another channel, I can't help you
does anyone know how i can help by testing jaunty?

does anyone know how i can help by testing jaunty?
evilgnome: still not there?
aboucher: Jaunty discussion belongs in #ubuntu+1, not here, thanks
Gnea: my dvd rw drive is kicking my ass
it wont let me burn anything
Oh, I guess that makes sense
evilgnome: whats the output of: which emerald
ok
Most gui programs probably arent programmed to run without an x server :P
rww: if malcom2073 were to run his programs in the screen app, and restart x, would they still be running?
keeps telling me the available space is 0 bytes in brasero and any other app i use
Demios: what about k3b?
Demios: have you tried a few different burning apps? have you tried setting burning speed lower
ActionParsnip: still not, but aptitude has uninstalled libemeraldengine0. which emerald gives no output
ActionParsnip: some apps wont even let me burn because "there is no room"
eseven73: "screen app" as in the "screen" command in Terminal? Yes if they're command-line, no if they're GUI apps (which is what he's talking about).
my DVD player worked, but now it doesn't. What can I do? thanks.
Demios: that makes no sense - no room where?
eseven73: I think that's the case, anyway. I don't feel like restarting X11 to find out.
lepke: hello
on the blank cdrs
Demios: can you give the exact error please
i know you guys are busy , but can i ask a question
ActionParsnip: any ideas pls?
!ask | Don
Don: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
eternaljoy: using vlc ?
rww yeah i havent tested that theory either and i too dont feel like restart x to find out :)
Well im about to have to restart X
so how do I test this? :P
DasEi: Ubuntu doesnt recognise the DVD at all
Or can you not do it on already running programs?
Ctrl+Alt+backspace malcom2073
ActionParsnip: although the USB guides didn't specifically address my issue, they helped me figure out what to do to fix my problem. I am now creating a new USB installation. Thanks very much for your help
k, if I get booted, we all know why :P
"WeeChat 0.2.6"
brb
is there a recovery disc that will check if you are missing any basic packages in your ubuntu 8.10 setup
malcom2073: you could do 'screen htop' or something and restart x,
eternaljoy: after mounting cd rom and cd there, no files by ls-cmd ?
"Following the white wabbit."
eseven73: htop is command line, so it should get saved.
DasEi: how I mount it?
scotlfs: glad you reached the right path. np man :D
k I got another app running
here goes
i know
eternaljoy: open a terminal
who me
kinda offtopic but someone earlier asked about networking monitoring, i found a cool app for that called iptraf, its in the repos too :)
!info iptraf
this is the right place to ask for help on how to do things in Ubuntu??
iptraf (source: iptraf): Interactive Colorful IP LAN Monitor. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.0-6 (intrepid), package size 161 kB, installed size 744 kB
King_Of_Worms: yes
how do i get rid of alt+left drag feature?
King_Of_Worms: yep
cool
Nope, it closed the screen app I opened
Nick_Meister: i think its an x thing. not sure, its dead handy
malcom2073: type 'screen -ls'
malcom2073: issue "screen -r" in a terminal
I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to bind a folder to another location on boot
"Leaving"
ActionParsnip, i need to either get rid of it or change it to something else
is there a repair disk for ubuntu 8.10?
i tried the suggestion i found on the forums, but it didn't work :(

Pokój trzeci

i tried the suggestion i found on the forums, but it didn't work :(
Don: have you tried making a usb startup disk?
eternaljoy: sudo mkdir /mnt/cd
malcom2073: do what rww said, he's got easier ways of doing things, i do things the hard way
King_Of_Worms: you can use a symlink, it appears as a folder but will magically transport you to the other folder you link to if you click it
only access i have is thru the terminal
eternaljoy: only one cd drive ?
King_Of_Worms: is taht what you mean?
rww: oh very cool
malcom2073: is it running?
i guess i must have removed files that let me get the usb interface and keybd working under the windows like interface
"c ya ppl..."
eseven73: negative, I havent restarted X yet again lol
Nick_Meister: not sure dude
ActionParsnip, i think so, how do I create a symlink?
ah
only had the linux for 2 weeks, new at it
And this whole mess didn't fix my problem :(. For instance: The visualization in rhythm-box it flickers all the time, especially when it's behind another window it flickers in front, and when I drag the window with extra effects on, the visualization stays in place and keeps flickering
Don: do you have any important data residing on your ubuntu install?
"Ex-Chat"
mount --bind is the command I use to do it manually, but i want it to happen automatically at boot time
King_Of_Worms: ln -s /path/to/folder/to/be/linked /location/of/link/linkname
screen -r says "no screen to resume"
eternaljoy: ?
King_Of_Worms: obviosly change the names of the folders etc
hello evryone, i got a problem with my synaptic, it wont let access it. here is the info http://paste.ubuntu.com/83184/ thanks for help
Oh this screen command looks very cool. Looks like I should ssh -x into this box remotely and bring desktop windows over?
DasEi: yes only 1 DVD
DasEi: I type sudo mkdir /mnt/cd ?
"Ex-Chat"
screen rocks
I'm really tired at this. I can't get my wireless card to work. Should I have to reconfigure my modem and router? The network is detected but I can't authenticate, I'm positive I'm giving the correct authentification-password.
eternaljoy: yes, then : umount /dev/scd0
ok brtb
think_linux: open a terminal and issue "sudo apt-get update". If you get errors from that, put them in pastebin and link it here. If not, try Synaptic again.
eternaljoy: yes, then : sudo umount /dev/scd0 ,sorry
rafting: yu could try ndiswrapper + xp32 or xp64 driver
rww: ok 1 sec
DasEi: umount: /dev/scd0 is not mounted (according to mtab)
hi, how does the package manager deals with different compilation flags? I mean, for example, if I want to run 'directfb' compile with '--enable-sdl', or even if I want to have '--enable-debug', how can I procede?
sav1o: it doesn't. The package manager doesn't compile, it downloads binary packages.
DasEi: when I type sudo umount /dev/scd0 it says: umount: /dev/scd0: not mounted
eternaljoy: k, sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cd
hey guys
hi
sav1o: get the source package, edit debian/rules, rebuild the package
ActionParsnip, will I have to run that command after everytime I reboot, or is it permanent?
my ubuntu I do not longer see the desktop and restart when I am starting as the dos mode of windows that do?
sav1o: if the packaged app doesnt use the flags you want you must recompile yourself
DasEi: mount: No medium found
King_Of_Worms: its permanent
does someone have troble running bin files in 8.04?
cool
Thanks :)
eternaljoy: drive empty ??
ultra_violet: can you be more vague?
King_Of_Worms: if you are making a link outside your home folder you must use sudo
DasEi: yes shall I put something in it? :P
ultra_violet: is the .bin file an installer you downloaded from somewhere?
rww: here is it http://paste.ubuntu.com/83186/
ultra_violet: try chmod a+x
jrib: you weren't so sarcastic once upon a time :)
eternaljoy: eerm, your cd/dvd maybe
ok, :) thanks again
ultra_violet: then run it with ./
