BHSPitMonkey, gkrellm is the other applet to display resources I was thinking of

gkrellm or something like that and its my good day

BHSPitMonkey, silly qustion here but do you have a /swap on your comp ?

Does anyone know why my virtual terminals (ctrl alt F2 - F6) come up with huge fonts that arent even completely on the screen and how to fix it?

I just set my Ubuntu desktop (feisty) to be a LAMP server. By default /var/www belongs to root which means I can’t work in it via the gui. Is there any reason I should not change the ownership and group to my account (I am only running one main account)

when i hover the mouse over a menu item i get a popup with the same name, how can i get rid of it?

winbond, probably you an turn it off in gconf-editor do a search for tooltip

anyone know of an app that can copy xbox360 games (for linux)

same name or description of it bleep

Pelo, yup

Does anyone know why my virtual terminals (ctrl alt F2 - F6) come up with huge fonts that arent even completely on the screen and how to fix it?

BHSPitMonkey, ok that’s pretty much all I have, you can also try doing a search in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org

xbox360 security is ´nice´ . no hacks for that yet bleep

whats the easiest way to install a broadcom wireless card?

taime1, do a search for the model in the forum

yay, forum tasty

well, ubuntu thinks its a dell 1390, so im not sure what the model is bwell, ubuntu thinks its a dell 1390, so im not sure what the model is/b bbwell, ubuntu thinks its a dell 1390, so im not sure what the model is/b/b

taime1, check the documentation ?

The fonts and/or screen size is way to big and bleeding off the edge of my monitor on my virtual terminals. Anyone know how to fix that?

xserver

arghh2D2, check the forum , for terminal resolution

Pelo, I’ve switched it to the nv driver, and we’ll be doing our damnest to make it freeze. No luck so far, but we have lucky streaks on the thing anyway.

BHSPitMonkey, best of luck BHSPitMonkey, best of luck dewbie, I’m not that skinny

i was about to throw my puter down the cliff and then ubuntu happened. bi was about to throw my puter down the cliff and then ubuntu happened./b

Maybe you’re big-boned. Like, extrusively so.

GNine, the expression is ” out the windows tm”

GNine, you’d make a good testimonial generator for Canonical’s web team.

BHSPitMonkey, that made very litle sense

well.. whatever floats your boat.. i prefer to throw things down the cliff

Pelo, which?

extrusively so

Ah. So your ribs are so large as to extrude from your torso.

where can i get the package xdamage and xcomposite

ic

im trying to compile avant-window-manager and it says those arent found

shifty-, did you check in synaptic ?

Rather than the converse, anorexic approach.

is anyone here willing to help me, i cant play mp3’s and when i do get video to play its glitchy and doesnt have sound…

Can I reinstall ubuntu via terminal?

there is a level of security involved too.. someone might pick up that puter you just threw out the window

revert everything back to default?

i dont think they´:l go after the one down the cliff

Kagar, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

ah, danke, thought it was something like it.

Kagar, that will only reinstall the packages you removed that were part of the default install

you seem helpful, can you help me?

CountX, what is your issue ?

pretty cool my windows partation now runs nativy and under vmware

but not return my settings back to default?

messed up sound, and cant play video

thanks Pelo

video acts funky

say my soundcard and wifi / video settings

Kagar, what do you mean by settings ?

Well, just wondering if there was an easier way than fresh install.

kagar?

Yes?

i will brb

thers always a way whats the issue

Kagar, for the video sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

i like linux cuz there are NO standard solutions to anything i like secure linux web hosting cuz there are NO standard solutions to anything

does ubuntu-desktop just reinstall all the gnome desktop stuff, and not set it back to default settings?

shifty-, just reinstall the default install packages

shifty-, it does install all gnome desktop stuffs

Well, I’ve just played with too many settings to remember what I did. So, just wondering if I could go back to fresh install settings without having to reinstall everything. uWell, I’ve just played with too many settings to remember what I did. So, just wondering if I could go back to fresh install settings without having to reinstall everything./u

shifty-, the settings are stored in the /home folder in hidden folder for each app

ok cause i isntalled kubuntu-desktop and i dont like the kubuntu boot screen haha

kagar well if you rember yout defult settings

Kagar, from next time take a back up before editing

lol

aye.

shifty just change it or rewmove splash from the boot loader

anyone knows how config nxserver??

how?

shifty-, go in synaptic search for splash and remove the kubuntu ones

how do you see how much room is left on your linux partition?

ok

df -h

it will boot old school text then

system monitor , last tab

then go to x

check your synaptic history .. might refresh your memory as to what have you done to your poor system

shifty-, http://technofreakatchennai.wordpress.com/2006/12/22/switching-between-ubuntukubuntuxubuntu-uspalsh/

thanks

is there anyway to shrink an ntfs partition and increase my ext3 partition size in linux?

yuni_gemini

yes mike

hah i did the same as you, tried out kde and liked hnome better

when count x comes back tell him to go in synaptic, search for gstreamer and install all the gstreamer 10 packages he sees I’m out, g’night

shifty-, nope i like kde better

Is there a way to change resolution for virtual terminals without affecting my GUI resolution?

how?

you can use the gpartationd live disk or the ubuntu installer just go to the partation setup and manule

doh’

those changes are set instantly

how config nxserver??

after your done there you whont need to install anything sence your just resizing

shifty-, am not for “gnome vs kde” both have their pros and cons, intelligent people use both

alright and this won’t lose any of my files?

it might

yuni_gemini

shouldent

thats true, something about gnome just catches my eye moreso

but resizing is a pretty fun game of luck shit does happon sometimes

u better backup

would partition magic be a better bet?

Does anybody know if there’s a way to change resolution for virtual terminals without affecting my GUI resolution?

in windows

meh, I’m going to reinstall ubuntu anyways, just wondering if there was a faster way, thanks to those who helped.

shifty-, alt+space katapault is better than alt+f2

it would if it supported ext3 it doesent thow

bah

i guess i come with the tough questions

using gparationd should work

there is nothing tough, there is only less known

k

it woked for me but i was also installing i dont knoe how it will rect to the ext3 partation with data on it

well i am trimming down my ntfs partition to it’s minimum size and that scares me k

best to leave some room on it windows hates that

ntfs and ext3 arent exactly friendly with each other

lies i have to shrink my windows partition so i can install windows he he the irony

ext3 will kill ntfs eventually.. its just a matter of time muahahaha

dont get it shirnk it to install windows

qemu

you can use vmware and run your real windows install

qemu = emulation of an os is it free?

i do

Anyone know why when I record from /dev/dsp I get a loud buzzing sounds, yet if I use “arecord -f dat -d 2800 screencast.wav” it records without it..

vmware server and player are

i’ll check it out

lemmie grab the guide

thanks

its easy you make another hardware profire in windows and use that to install the vmware drivers

!vmware

VMWare Player is in Ubuntu’s !Multiverse repository (package “vmware-player”), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers

http://www.venturecake.com/a-simple-guide-to-using-your-existing-windows-install-apps-in-ubuntu/

thanks dude

easy and it works makes it so you can run windows both nativly and under vmware

do you think it would be fine to use visual studio to compile crap using vmware?

anyone know how to get ubuntu to tell me the battery level on my laptop?

yea

k good thanks

or you can just bot into windows boot only thing if you boot into vmware mode make shure to unmount it in linux

Hello! I need to adjust my screen resolution on VIRTUAL TERMINAL. 99% of all the documentation i’ve been sifting through deals with xorg.conf and i dont want to change that because that is fine but when i hit ctrl alt f() it shows huge fonts that bleed off the edges of the screen…help?

CountX, Right click on panelAdd to panelBattery Charge Monitor.

is there a way to add a picture in the beginning of a video file in avidemux ?

what’s beryl

how configure nxserver??

beryl is now knoen andd compiz-fusion they remerged

!beryl

beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects

it says im running on battery power, im not, and that its at 0%

how hard would be it be to set up a wireless network with ubuntu

Hmm… Not sure then.. Sorry.

wired internet connection with a wireless card brodcasting

poo can linux play h.264?

yes

yeah.

and rather well

how

Can ubuntu play PC games?

i cant find any decoder on the repos

“Games for windows”

so i don’t know if this is an ubuntu thing or router/modem set up but i seem to be limited to a 150kb/s even though when i go to a download speed checker it says 1500kb/s, help any one….

how do i instlal beryl in ubuntu

RyuhoKudo, wireless network as in you want to access wireless ?

threw cedega it can play some

endlessurf, doesn’t trust download speed checkers

CountX, I installed the codecs using automatix.

slap apt-get install beryl

automatrix?

Hello! I need to adjust my screen resolution on VIRTUAL TERMINAL. 99% of all the documentation i’ve been sifting through deals with xorg.conf and i dont want to change that because that is fine but when i hit ctrl alt f() it shows huge fonts that bleed off the edges of the screen…help? Am I asking the impossible? Am I even beeing seen here?

CountX, http://www.getautomatix.com/

teknofreak the modem says about the same thing though…..

its a auto installer app but some call it unsecure

thegreenblob, using feisty?

slapfaceware, try compiz fusion

thegreenblob, you now using Ubuntu 7.04 ?

Yeah.

kishan, why

teKnofreak i want to set up a ad-hoc using ubuntu is that possible

thegreenblob, that was a dangerous waste then. you install codecs in feisty by trying to run the related media file

RyuhoKudo, you mean your Ubuntu machine to be a gateway for the wireless network ?

thegreenblob, it then searches for you and installs them like that

Meh. It worked.

yes Tech3030 or.. teKnofreak

slapfaceware, its much more better than beryl…beryl community now develop under name compiz fusion

thegreenblob, try playing your media file, codecs get downloaded and installed, media plays.. as simple as that

thegreenblob, it’s ruined alot of peoples computers. removed programs they wanted, overwritten configuration and made systems unbootable, so please dont recommend it

synaptic is just a front end to apt like adept , right?

Can I boot ubuntu from a 2GB flash drive?

Thank you overclucker and elkbuntu! ok then

hello

irreducibils yes i think dapper

Irreducibilis, does your bios support booting from USB ?

hello everybody

ill ask again when it calms down a bit

i used to say no but someone showed me otherwise

Indeed it does

windows has an option extend windows on second monitor, how do I do that on ubuntu

Irreducibilis, then you can

i guess i had enough for a night anyhow

hello

!ask | cookie-102

cookie-102: Don’t ask to ask a question. Just ask your question

LOL

I did ask already

dumb bot

he he

Yes, but how do I go about putting it on the USB drive, such as the partitioning and stuff?

cookie-102, i saw 3 hellos from you, proly i should have used !patience

pendrive linux has guides

well, nobody answered me

HELLO!!! HOW R JOO?!

lol

Irreducibilis, google for “booting ubuntu from pendrive”

okay…

My question was, how can i extend my workspace on anothe monitor

!patience | cookie-102

cookie-102: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped. Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines

now i did it

Irreducibilis, http://www.linux-live.org/

cookie thats a good one i knoe it can be done but i forgot the app name

hmm

Thank You, for answering

cookie-102: use your monitor driver settings prog to set up twinview, and drag your compositor window into the second monitor

i knoe edting the xorg config can do multi displays or 1 big display

cookie-102: for example, if using nvidia drivers, the prog is nvidia-settings

there it is

cookie-102: also, google for how to set up twinview

well, I am running ubuntu not windows

Irreducibilis, though i would reccomend using a less feature rich distro for usb boot

cookie nivida still has those settings in linux

ok, thx

is there a way to add a picture in the beginning of a video file in avidemux ?

hi… is there a problem to install /home into the same / partition? Do the transfer account wizard preserves all my information from my current /home installation?

bourne if you just make a / partation .home will be there hats aruldy done

bourne, you mean moving /home to existing / ?

i know but kinda if I have a well working system… and when 7.10 is released… will it preserve everything? or will something break?

well having only a / means if something brakes thats it

nothing *should* break with 7.10 as nothing have since mty breezy days i have a / and /home within it

that means you only have /

bourne, ^^ means i do not have a separate partition for /home

i see

I’m running xp in a vmware server on ubuntu 7.04, works great. Can I install vm software on my other linux web hosting machines on the lan and run that same virtual machine from any of them? Sorry noob question.

but it’s important, isnt’ it?

ubuntu still wont tell me my correct battery charge level

hello, how do you install gnome-ppp when you can’t use your modem but have internet on another machine?]

can anyone point me in the right direction

Is there an ordinary name for the ’sysfs’ identifier?

bourne, you can line without a separate /home provided you are not going to screw up things yourselves and do not want to share /home

oh i see

scrimple, use the other machine as the gateway to internet

hey man, i cant get ubuntu to read my battery level it reads as 0%

What is the smallest linux distro ever? Besides DSL

DSL damn…

how do i do that?

i still have to access a fat32 partition for data, between linux and windows… fat32 is ok for this?

Irreducibilis, Damn Small Linux

or is the ntfs stable enough

build your own

puppy linux

compiz is window manager? or have to use it with kde gnome?

LFS is hard

Irreducibilis, dsl is debian LFS rocks

but its hard

its more a question for #linux tho

not noob friendly

while I’m impressed with Fiest, I still could not get the wireless USB adapter to work

was wondering if you could download the file and then install it on the other

at first it is, yeah

Irreducibilis, as other have started telling names.. if you want usb bootable linux try knoppix on usb

heard slax will do usb also

http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=272959 -act peculiar in Fiesty

Irreducibilis, of slax (slackware based)

I’m not experienced with wireless networking in nix

scrimple, ya, then change your repos to the local machine.. have an apt-server running on the another machine

wlan0 and wmaster0

I already have DSL bootable from a 128MB usb drive

I could see the wireless access point, but I couldn’t use it

But if I bought a 2 gig, I was hoping to use Ubuntu So, Ill try that….

thanks but it sounds a bit complicated for me

debian should run from usb fine enough me thinks

okay…

is NTFS drive writer stable enough or should I just go with fat32 if i want to share a partition with winxp

bourne, ntfs-3g is stable, ive been using it for a while, been writing stuff to my ntfs drive and i have not noticed any problems

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/179 fwiw

so it should be OK then, to share a NTFS partition…

bourne, yeah thats what i do. I just have my windows partition mounted and i can read/write to it fine bourne, but just use it to share, dont actually install linux on it (i dont think you can lol)

well using ntfs read wright all the time isnt good

How does sleep work in Ubuntu? It seems like it’s not running anything in /etc/acpi…

It’s not possible to move unallocated space in front or behind a partition is it?

I’m having problem getting my sound to work… any suggestions?

daprie thats kinda vage

I have a block of unallocated space in front of a partition, and I want it to move in front so I can combine it with another partition. Without having to have 4 partitions

kager it will grab any unused space

ok… I have an Nvidia mobo with an onboard sound card

if your resizing or making

which scheme partition is good, for a long term linux installation, with sharing windows for a while… (in the future I will remove windows..)

ah, so I don’t have to worry about gparted? I should let the step thing take place?

I’ve tried to do all that was recommended on the forum including rebuilding the alsa drivers, but nothing has helped

bourne, how big is your drive?

40 GB

use lvm, ,

bourne, how nice, the same size as mine lol

long term without lvm may hurt a bit

LOL

bourne, so your gonna be sharing with windows on this as well?

i wished i had more, but then i dont use that space

bourne, including a installation of windows?

yes

continuous == unallocated space?

i have to… because of my… fiancee and foobar2000

lol

bourne, thats gonna be tricky… your not going to have much space for personal files lol

cast what does lvm do?

so I couldn’t get the USB wireless adapter to work, any thoughts? I could see working for ubuntu just to find esoteric hardware junk that doesn’t work well with it

make the windows partition as small as you can get away with, then when you’re tired of it make it an lvm pv and incorporate it in one of your volume groups

my HD is set up like Unallocated | windows | unallocated | swap

bourne, once you settle the deal windows is of?

is there a way to add a picture in the beginning of a video file in avidemux ?

will it grab all the unallocated if I choose the use largest continuious? or just the biggest unallocated

bourne, i would recommend for a long term linux/windows installation, 10 gb for each OS

i thought this:

how much ram do you have

linux | swap | storage | winblows

kagar yes it should

anyone?

[ swap 1GB ] - [ ext3 10GB ] - [ ntfs 4GB ] - [ fat32 25 GB ]

Is there a way to sync windows mobile phones with ubuntu?

borne linux 8 gb sap1 gb rest winblows

bourne, swap first!?!

swap first

why 1gb of swap? whats the most swap you ever use? i doubt its more than 384mb..

wont it be as close as possible to the files of linux

bourne, how much ram do you have

yes, my Pagefile in windows is.. now…

512 ddr2 ram = 1 gb swap

you dont need that much swap

shure do

589MB

windows is a hog. It NEEDS a pagefile. Linux almost doesn’t.

at the very least you need equal to the amount of ram you do

For my winXP box, I have 512mb ram and 4096mb pagefile swap

no you dont

Because it NEEDS it to run well

windows isn’t linux….

gogeta, I posted more info about the problem a while ago… do you know anything that I can try?

if you want to suspend to ram you need a swap partition equal to your ram

dapre?

the pagefile in windows here.. is inbetween 300-500 mb

so bourne what im suggesting

yeah?

Does Windows use the page file before it even touches the ram?

if i run openoffice…. will it write to swap?

It uses the ram and then goes to pagefile when it runs out of ram

bourne, 10 gb for each operating system, either 512 mb or 1 gig for swap (you decide) and the left over space /home

i missed the issue

ok, I can’t get my sound card to work

yea a nivida now i rember

bourne, you need swap. if you ever want to suspend your gonna need it,, and if you ever run out of ram for some reason then random processes wont get killed if you have swap

probly the hd card

I’ve tried everything suggested on the forum, still not working

What kind of sound card?

That’s what i came in here for too

Nvidia onboard

i have sound just not 5.1

but i dont need a 1GB swap as the pal is saying ?

i think that cards not working some say using the intel driver works other say it still failes

I’ve tried that as well

I think the erstwhile conventional wisdom was that you need twice the amount of swap as you do RAM. I have large swap myself, but top keeps saying it’s barely ever used.

windows puts its swap file in the firsts sectors of the disc… but that wont happen in linux right i dont need a swap in the beginning

you don’t *need* swap

linux uses its own swap partation

anything else you can think of?

you probably only want swap

I don’t know where linux puts its swap if it doesn’t have a swap partition.

bourne, linux first

i know but i am doing a point here… the disk stroking

cast, you dont need it but if you want to suspend, and if linux ever runs out of ram your screwed without it

simple linux doesent

i dont want it to “full stroke” because of a swap partition in the end of it

no swap partation no swap

its a good idea to have it.

My current WinXP swap says that it is using 450MB out of 4451MB

sauvin, is your RAM =2GB ?

One gig.

ya know when the drive does a full stroke loses performance

sauvin, better have a swap for worst case

nvm folks… apparently my issue is not that important… this is the second time that this chatroom has been useless for me!

not if you have a fast drive

I have swap simply out of habit. Four gigs, iirc.

that is why i thought was in the beginning

bourne, your swap partiton is just a seprate partition

daprie, this is not chat room*

you can run out of ram with swap too

what is it then

cast, but its harder

linux only uses swap if it runs out of ram

daprie, this is a support channel by volunteers for Ubuntu

so…

or to store stuff for faster loading later

isn’t this suppose to be where I go to get help with Ubuntu issues

gogeta, not it doesnt, on mine it sometimes uses swap and i still have free ram left

Unlike Windows, which starts using a pagefile in anticipation of running out of ram, because it knows it will.

(linux)-(swap)-(ntfs)-(ntfs) ??

linux | swap | storage | winblows

daprie, s/got to get/most probably get/

daprie, what’s your ubuntu issue?

bourne, whats the second ntfs partition for?

storing data only

boubbin_, lookin good

i use ’sudo ifconfig ath0 *********’ to set my ip, but when i type ifconfig again, the ip is different. doesnt ifconfig set the ip?

i will access that data from both linux and win

I can’t get my soundcard to work… it’s an Nvidia on board soundcard

my two cents: buy a real sound card. my nvidia integrated sound mobos have a lot of static

boubbin_, srry

bourne, hmm, if you make that your home folder that might be a little interestering

well bourne if your pcs gonna memery threash thers not mutch you can do for performace

bourne, cause ntfs doesnt keep partitions

other then more ram

nvidia doesnt make soundcards

bourne, i mean permissions

it can’t be ext3 because windows wont acess it i need win to acess it

good morning, how do I navigate in Windows-directories which have 2 names, e.g. Program Files? cd Program Files give me an error

There IS an ext2 driver for Windows.

sauvin, but that causes A LOT of problems

try Program\ Files

onboard means that it’s built into a nvidia motherboard… the chipset is nvidia CK804

It does?

“Progran Files”

bourne, and driver for ext3

myriadar, cd “Program Files” or cd Program\ Files

mynadar linxu uses dirrent commands

myriadar, also tab-completion helps

which makes it an nvidia onboard soundcard

sauvin, oh yeah, i used it and fsck got mad at me and had to recheck it cause it always failed

what motherboard u got?

great, thx!

myriadar, or just tab complete

sauvin, cause its only ext2.. not ext3.. so the jorunal gets screwed up

spaces are normal app\ app

and cu have a nice day

vs just a space

Anyone know why a wifi card wont pick an ip address host with DHCP????

bourne, but winblows can’t handle ext properly

can i force it?

bourne, i would suggest making like a 1-2 gb home partition

is ext2 the one that lets you write to ntfs?

Biostar TForce4 SLi

bourne, that way your home folder has the correct permissions and you can just store all your data on that ntfs partition

is that partition necessary

starvinmarvin, whats that for

No idea. I just found it.

im not sure, but ntfs does not support permissions, i dont know if something is going to be screwed up if you have your home on ntfs

wait a minute your getting me wonrg

@lart starvinmarvin

You were the first person I saw after my discovery.

thought so. doesnt work here

that DATA partition must be shared from WIn and Lin it cant be ext3 and it can’t be a /home its just like a big trash can

cari, for writing to ntfs, you need either an ntfs driver or ntfs-3g.

ah

the audio chip is Realtek ALC850

O_O Does ubuntu support 2 x 1TB drives in raid?

Polygon89, 2gb /home is way to small

Ah yes that one.

bourne, fat32/

It’s a Biostar TForce4 SLi mobo

baourne thers a way to get windows to se ext3

so that works then kahrytan, not if he doesnt store anytthing on it

can i create a ext3 partition from ubuntu if the space is already free?

Polygon89, could download games

Sure can!

how do i get the UUID for fstab?

probably

Polygon89, he could install windows apps for wine

repartition with gparted and you could

iliketofrolic, yeah, cfdisk

when i type ‘ifconfig, to view my wifi settings, i have ath0, lo and wifi0-00 listed. whats the last one?????

Husband just upgraded to Gutsy from Feisty after i got the mouse side buttons, some advanced keyboard buttons, and 5.1 sound back.

bourne, so that works, just have like 10 gb Linux (root), 512-1 gig Linux (swap) 10 gb Windows whatever else left ntfs storage kahrytan, he is going to have a ntfs partition for storing everything

iliketofrolic, man cfdisk before using it

but…

alright brb i am on the 6.06 live cd and gparted won’t format but it can delete

poly why

Now I have to remember how i did that in the first place and write it down for future use … gah

Hi everyone… just installed Ubuntu for the first time, after choking on Vista. Having some difficulties connecting with my wireless adapter, and was hoping someone could give me a hand. Looks like the device drivers are good, and the network manager shows the wireless connection under Manual Configuration, but it still won’t connect (checked security settings etc.) Am i missing something?

k

there comes the issue, wouldnt fat32 be more stable

why not use ext3

you cant install winxp on fat32

you can

Polygon89, NTFS in Linux is slow as .. sensor

oh wait hmm no its not i use it

Can nobody help??

hello again ^^” another problem has popped up

bourne, fat32 for storage is a good idea

 

New zealand php5 web host

 

You CAN install Windows on FAT32. You don’t WANT to, but you CAN.

not if you want a stable winxp installation you dont lol

if you make a fat32 partation you can install xp on it

kahrytan thats good information

how do u know the its the soundcard thats not working

ntfs-3g is quite fast IMO

Polygon89, there’s a stable windows?

faileas, It is quite slow to me

but NTFS + FAT should be ok?

why not just ext3 thow you can make windows see it

Polygon89, there’s no such thing as a stable win xp installation!

true

gogeta, that ext driver for windows sucks

to configure wine for using lotus notes on ubuntu7.04, I need to open /.wine/config, but I cant find the file in my home-dir

personally i disagree

gogeta, i used it, completely fed up my journal, had to run fsck every time i booted into linux after writing to it

anyone has stolen my config-file? ^^

bourne, You can use a Windows tool to access ext3 partition. (read only)

i guess ntfs or fat32 for storage is his bet then

so bourne i guess you could just have 10 gb linux 10 gb windows 512mn-1gig swap and whatever else fat32 storage…..

woohoo i did manage to fix my 5.1 …

personally when i multiboot, i go for one shared FAT partition, and a native partition per OS

bourne, fs-driver.org/ for ext3 for windows

looks like it should work fine with alsa driver

this is iliketofrolic, how do i open cfdisk for my second HD?

but sotring stuff above 2 gigs in fat32 is a pain

kahrytan, again that driver sucks kahrytan, thats only a ext2 NOTE THE 2

yeah.. native partitions for OSes

faileas, then maybe it’s me that’s unstable, lol

kahrytan, so if he uses that with ext3 it doesnt record the journal = screwed up

and fat32 for storage

cfdisk /dev/hdX? or /dev/sd …etc..

k thx

with a nick like that? maybe ;p

lol

so fat32 is safe bet

Polygon89, Hence read only part

for storage

bourne, yes

kahrytan, he needs that for storage so that wont work

to configure wine for using lotus notes on ubuntu7.04, I need to open /.wine/config, but I cant find the file in my home-dir — no clue?

as long as its not above 2 gigs

yip. if its sub 4gb files

fat32 supports up to 32gb

Polygon89, I think fat32 is best

not for files

fat32 partition wise

ignore gogeta, he uses fat16 D:

should be fine with 25gb at 16k cluster

myriadar, if am not wrong you can create one and try

LOL

I am trying to set up ssh — when I try to ssh localhost, I get connection denied.

fat32 cannot have files over 4 gb

i dont have 4gb files.. LOL

Hi

then that works

yep

Can anyone help me with my wifi troubles/ I cant get it to fetch an IP via DHCP.

its only a real problem with like games that have massive archives

any way i can update my ipod using ubuntu

what driver do I use though?

this howto speaks of “add this to the config” :/ http://www.nsftools.com/tips/UseNotesWithWine.htm

and isos. and backups. and video.

nicholaspaul, is there a link ?

nicholaspaul, are you connected to a dhcp server?

cast, backup programs are usually smart enough to split backups into 4 gb chunks

hi — I am trying to install ssh into my localhost and I get ‘connection refused’. I have added myself to hosts-allow.

teKnofreak a link? overclucker i’m not connected, but i’m trying to

anyone have any idea of how to fix this

bourne, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems

cast, i also have entire dvds that are less then a GB on my hard drive, so i think he is fine

nicholaspaul, connected/link as in active physical connection.. do “sudo mii-tool”

overclucker static ip settings under ‘network’ dont work,

anybody tried gutsy on a T60p

im trying 2 download cedega how can i dowload it from terminal?? i tried apt-get install cedega_timedemo and it doesnt work uim trying 2 download cedega how can i dowload it from terminal?? i tried apt-get install cedega_timedemo and it doesnt work/u

teKnofreaki cant ping in or out.. i’ll check that command.

lol

u probably have alsa already installed, what are you trying to play , and what errors are u getting if any?

whers the old run comand window

is there an GUI for opening ports ?

gogeta, alt+f2

nicholaspaul, is dhcp started?

teKnofreak ‘No MII interfaces found”

that makes no sense…a dual layer dvd is 8.5GB, a single layer 4.7GB

oh

hey guys, I just installed ´Aptana´ on my machine … I am wondering where to place it . What is best practices? Currently this is just on my user account folder

overclucker the router is up and running, do i have to start it from Ubuntu?

I ran “lspci -v” and it picked up the sound card… I don’t really know what else to try to make sure that it’s the sound card that is the problem

nicholaspaul, is your eth(x) up ?

I have feisty on a r60, leafw

nicholaspaul, the client

I’m just trying to play a CD and I’m getting no errors

overclucker i have to restart the client? How do i do that?

nicholaspaul, if there is a link b/w your machine and the router, mii-tool should show it up

teKnofreak oh its ath0. it shows up in ifconfig

I don’t seem to be able to receive files via DCC using xchat. Is there a FAQ or some published checklist to see if I’m overlooking something?

how can i download cedega from terminal ?

teKnofreak oh i see. I’m ‘trying’ to connect wirelessly

cast, as in a dvd ripped as a video file, less then 1 gb

hey guys, I just installed ´Aptana´ on my machine … I am wondering where to place it . What is best practices? Currently this is just on my user account folder

how do i access the new ext3 partition that i just made?

cast, not a actual dvd iso

It just sounds like it’s been muted although in alsamixer it isn’t

nicholaspaul, sudo ifconfig ath0 dhcp sart

nicholaspaul, ahh.. run dhclient3* nicholaspaul, without the star

cast, DVDs don’t have vob files larger then 2gb

nicholaspaul, sudo dhclient3

alsamixer can have 2 or 3 different sliders which cintrol the same volume, play around with it

mike6546, mount it

Polygon89, don’t need an iso to burn a dvd

usually its first 2 from the left,

I actually did that before I came on here… nothing helped

kahrytan, i was talking about how i had a ripped dvd movie file on my hard drive that was less then 1 gb, nothing about burning

are there any linux progs that can unzip *.hqx files ?

yeah, I tried those

teKnofreak that did the trick, thanks ! So do i have to use that command regularly?

FWIW you didn’t just rip, you ripped and performed lossy compression…

mike6546, sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/disknameherre /media/mountpointhere

anyone know what repo automatix is in? (gutsy)

DCC SEND “RANDOM NUMBERS”

so

Polygon89, and each file is less then 1.1gb

i see here that FAT32 is so limited

overclucker whats the diff between ’sudo ifconfig ath0 dhcp start’ and ’sudo dhclient3′ ?

nicholaspaul, nope.. it should run it when you bootup.. dhclient3 is for wireless

would it be better to store my storage in NTFS?

ping

teKnofreak and what does that do? There’s a nalioth here ?

nicholaspaul, dhclient3 queries the dhcp server thru wireless interface for a dhcp

that seems a wrong sequence of commands

teKnofreak ahhh

you two seem to be talking a subset of dvd, that being dvd-video. ahh, not important!

!mount

Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter

teKnofreak thanks!

nicholaspaul, welcome

nicholaspaul, oh w8 did u saay ath0, thats sudo iwconfig

what software do i need to play a dvd? for some reason i cant get a dvd to play at all

!fstab

The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions

!mtab

b14ck, Use VLC w/ libdvdcss2

Sorry, I don’t know anything about mtab - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

nicholaspaul, would have told it right in the beginning if I knew it was wireless

Is this article FUD?

overclucker yEA. GOTCHA!!

http://cquirke.mvps.org/ntfs.htm

mike6546, dont abuse ubotu plz

overclucker sorry, i meant ‘yea, gotcha’

sorry

I have followed all of the steps in this thread on the forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449&highlight=nvidia+on+board+sound+problems

lol

teKnofreak LOL

b14ck, http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html and homepage for vlc or in repos

thorry!

how do i mount the second partition on hdb?

is this article FUD http://cquirke.mvps.org/ntfs.htm

that’s why i kept using uboto

there is no libdvdcss2 in the repos

mike6546, sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb2 /media/mountpoint

b14ck, http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html

mike6546, ubotu can answer that it knows.. it is not Google

do i have to build it myself?

b14ck, It is there. VLC is in the repos. no

you can try to update the kernel /system ,

how ddo i get it installed then?

mike6546, where mountpoint is the folder you chose to mount it on

does some one know which is the channel for Linux-mint

b14ck, goto the site first

im there

which kernel r u running

in the releases section do i need a .deb?

k

b14ck, yes

mike6546, do man mount from console

which is linux-mint channel

how do i install the .deb?

b14ck, just open it on the desktop

dpkg -i deb

bourne, its not that limited, just cant store bigger then 4 gb files bourne, and it fragments more, but so does ntfs… so i think using it would be better cause linux supports it better

not sure really… is there a command that I can run to get that info?

Can anyone help with DCC file receiving issues on xchat?

i recently download torrent from add/remove program but i cant find them on my application menu where do ubuntu install programs? which folder? the /bin ??

ok got it isntalled. now how do i use vlc to play my dvd?

hey guys… sorry just a newbie question : I downloaded this app for development called ´aptana´ … I´m trying to figure out where to put it . What is the best practice? …

jesson, which one?

uname -r

winbond, thanks

jesson, try /usr,

b14ck, Goto the synaptic and install VLC

depends. is it a source package?

already did

cast, no its just that … like eclipse .

2.6.20-16-generic

then open disc

cast, its sitting in my home dir right now

b14ck, Open Disc (ctrl-d)

bittorrent for linux i downloaded it but i cant find it

a ubuntu installation will take up to how much space?

when i do that, vlc just crashes

b14ck, Doesnt for me.

cast, any ideas? Do I just move it somewhere ?

If I need to clone my /dev directory on to another disk (building a new root), how do I do that?

do this, sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

any idea how to find out if I can install ubuntu server to an onboard raid device?

b14ck, My vlc automatically opens when dvd is inserted too

thats interesting

then reboot and hope for the best, i cant really help u any more, sry

b14ck, open vlc and the put dvd in.

you knwo what vlc doesnt work but now totem works oddly enough so i guess libdvdcss2 worked with totem for me

I set up the drives in the bios, but linux just sees them as individual drives.. I know that linux tends to disregard the bios for a lot of things.. but I’d like to install my os to a raid-1 mirror

thats all i really need thanks

Is there an ordinary name for the ’sysfs’ identifier?

also , which app did u use to play the cd?

the board has an adaptec and intel raid mode.. but I’ve tried both and a ‘normal’ install doesn’t work with either..

sound juicer Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.

hello! Quick question, does anyone know if Upstart has replaced Cron (I know it replaced init)?

!codecs

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats

Hello, sorry if doubleposting, has Upstart replaced Cron?

what package contains dpkg-scanpackages?

np, im not much of help

no, upstart replaced init

often those builtin ‘raid’ features is only fakeraid and people suggest you don’t use it at all, not sure if thats your case or not

I don’t believe upstart is trying to replace cron. But, I suppose it might be.

yep i did know that… but i’ve read somewhere that upstart would eventually also replace cron… sounds wierd, but is it possible?

I greatly doubt it

i am just starting firestarter. i want to know if i should check ip address assigned via DHCP ? i have cable but i had problems with hooking up when i 1st got this cpu so i ran a ethernet cable but does that affect me in anyway now when im setting this all up ? how secure is firestarter who am i safe from now or what ? what exactly are its up sides and down sides ? and will having it now…

sure. You’ll just have an event like “at 10am” which triggers whatever.

…affect my interacting with a new host acct or will it effct ant of the developmental things ? somebody fill me in pls

“For example, Mac OS X cron is handled by “launchd” (and is not used for anything by default). Ubuntu is going to be changing init soon (see Replacing init with Upstart), and Upstart will eventually replace cron entirely”

google

Ah, yes, I just found it on the webpage. Yes, it is slated/already/whatever replacing cron.

Who wants to help me figure out why Totem won’t play dvds despite the fact codecs and libdvdcss2 is installed?

is it only totem that is giving you the problem? did you try xine?

what error messages are you getting?

punsad, xine doesnt work either no input plugin codecs are installed

did you try googling your problem?

does it see the dvd?

that’s a good question from aurous. Are you able to mount data dvds?

http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36658/ ?

hi

hello

totem uses gstreamer right?

what is the corresponding conf file for Preferences–Windows settings ?

punsad, it plays in vlc.

im having problem i can’t access the internet with Ubuntu it deteced my nw card RTL8139

helloo that’s my network card

hmm…. so totem and xine don’t work, but vlc does. strange

particularly directories . I have aptana and ies4linux, and I dont like them sitting in my home dir … where should I Place them

codeshah:/ /usr/localbin

is it a wireless card?

no distro seems to work with my internet its dsl with a 2wire gateway

codeshah:/ /usr/local/bin I mean

RTL8139 isnt wireless its ethernet

punsad, thanks . that is for the executable, right ?

right

punsad, what about the app … I assume I place the app somewhere and then link the executable there .

punsad, Totem uses gstreamer?

kahrytan, totem and either use gstreamer or xine

hey guys who can help me with transferring to ubuntu from M$ winblows

kahrytan, can**

i’d install openssh and use winscp on the windows box

no idea

Qustion Can i remote to my windows harddrives that i have map out on the server ??

cast, u speak to a nooby lamer

i

cast, I didn’t get a word

app? not sure what you mean here. I consider the app the binary

Polygon89, by default gstreamer

faileas, what?

i’d repartition with gparted and dual boot initially

punsad, oh, is that how it is? hmm

kahrytan, yes by default

punsad, for example, something like eclipse …

see what i said initially

well, ok. guess we have to resolve a few things. spell words properly, for a start, and openssh is how most of the non-windows world remotely/securely logs into computers and/or moves files about

get things working, and once everything is ‘ok’ *then* delete the windows system

Polygon89, yet totem doesnt play dvds

kahrytan, that is a bug with gstreamer atm i know what your talking about however

cast, and wht is winscp?

kahrytan, you want me to give you instructions on how to get totem playing dvds?

Polygon89, yeah

faileas, I have very expensive internet traffic right now

kahrytan, have to install the libdvdcss2 package from the mediubuntu repos

faileas, should I wait till I have better?

i was assuming its the same system?

kahrytan, have to install totem-xine and xine-ui

the program you’d use in windows to access the openssh server running….oh. wait. i see. is the ubuntu computer the same was the windows computer?

you wouldn’t need internet

Polygon89, libdvdcss2 is already installed

want ubuntu? get the livecd delivered to you, free

and not using xine

kahrytan, then make sure that libdvdread and libdvdnav are installed

faileas, I requested a CD

!shipit

shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Feisty (7.04) CDs

kahrytan, watching dvds with totem-gstreamer is impossible at the moment. its a bug

it takes a little while

I already did tht thankx

kahrytan, totem-xine is essentially the same thing. you wont notice a difference.

yep I am waiting

I have a 1440 x 900 screen it looks fine when it boots to the desktop but when the nividia logo comes on my whole screen goes haywire

well then you wouldn’t need internet until you decided you wanted to install or update packages

when I go to screen saver or try to play games it reboots X something isnt right

Im determined to get it work

kahrytan, however if you MUST have totem-gstreamer, and cannot bear to install totem-xine, just install VLC and it will play it fine

Im leaving gstreamer in

kahrytan, its a bug within the program. i know what your talking about, it will start to play when you put the dvd in, but then you actually go to playdvd then it says there is no codec kahrytan, it doesnt remove gstreamer, it just removes totem-gstreamer and installs totem-xine and the xine libs

I’m reinstalling feisty, I have about 95,000 MB available for / and /home, how should I allocate that between the two directories?

look, guys. this is my situation: I have slow expensive internet and gonna gave a better one soon. Also one more computer purchase is planned. Should I wait untill all this happens and only then dive the linux world? what do you think? right now i have only one pc

personally, try the live CD, get used to it, iron out annoyances. you can do all that now

now? how?

with a live CD, if you mess up just reboot

when will you switch internet connections?

_SiLENT_, you can just download the feisty live cd and then you can hold off on updates till you get a better connection, and then you can use the live cd to reinstall if you get a new computer

what is a liveCD?

hello i have ubuntu fiesty installed

is the ubuntu CD I requested a liveCD?

_SiLENT_, yes

hmmm ok

pop in the cd, and you get a working linux system after boot

i want to run windows inside ubuntu

_SiLENT_, a live cd is the installation cd, but when you put in your computer, it actually boots up ubuntu from the CD into your ram

Polygon89, I’m not removing gstreamer. period

there’s several articles on how to do that

yes

kahrytan, it does not remove gstreamer. it just removes totem-gstreamer.

hello guys. today’s tribe 6 release?

now tell me plz, will ubuntu be as easy as windows for me?

linus magazine had one in the July 2007 edition

_SiLENT_, depends on what you want to do

_SiLENT_, if you are not a huge gamer you should be fine.

yes

no

Geoffrey2, 6gb / | 1-2gb swap | 1-x gb /home

Polygon89, which I wont remove

you got the link for it

not gamer AT ALL

_SiLENT_, so what do you do in your daily computer-life?

evryhing else

kahrytan, well then enjoy not being able to play dvds with it until gstreamer fixes it, which atm with gutsy tribe 6 is still not fixed.

my windows partition is mounted on /dev/sda2 … now, when I open the music player (Amarok) I want to go to my ¨My Music¨ folder on that partiiaon … and play from there … but it doesn´t show it in Amarok … do I have to move the files over?

kahrytan, try VLC, it doesnt use gstreamer as its backend and can play DVD’s fine (it has the codec built in)

browsing, e-mail, video, audio, etc.

hi, my older computer, at bootup, says “Insert system disk and press enter.” last time i tried it, it booted up to ubuntu fine. what’s wrong?

_SiLENT_, then you should be fine

I unscrewed the case off but everything looks connected

well for windows, for example I installed 100 apps

codeshah, ntfs-3g?

Bios thinks that I don’t have a hard drive. which is funny, because i have 2 hard drives attached

_SiLENT_, be patient…if you’re used to Windows, it may take a little while to get used to an operating system that does things the RIGHT way

Polygon89, I see what you mean with totem

hey punsad would you have the link for the magazine

totem doesnt do menus so fuck it

Geoffrey2

oops sorry

all apps in windows are expensive

i don’t personally find there’s that much of a difference till you get down to compiling, and things like that not true

kahrytan, yeah just use totem-xine, its the exact same program only it uses xine backend instead of gstreamer, and you can still use gstreamer

faileas, I mean the good ones

kahrytan, in other programs..

hey guys i need some help with the pcsX emulator….i need to know were to put the plugins and bios files

in fact, i use most of the same, free apps in windows and linux uin fact, i use most of the same, free apps in windows and linux/u

so how do you run windows inside unbuntu

vmware

Polygon89, but does totem use menus?

yes

kahrytan, the problem with totem-gstreamer and dvds is some bug kahrytan, so it screws up with dvd menus

http://www.advicesource.org/ubuntu/Run_Existing_Windows_Instalation_On_Ubuntu_With_Vmware_player.html

kahrytan, but with totem-xine menus and everything works perfectly

there’s nothing wrong with being a “mostly windows” guy, faileas, the “wrong” would be in trying to convince other people to be that wayl

Polygon89, It’s totem-gstreamer bug?

there is no right or wrong way, only users

well, I dunno, as I have no money I need to use help of pirates (oops, I didn’t say that). But I wanna get legal, that’s why I wanted to move from winblows to ubuntu

kahrytan, either that or just a gstreamer bug, its reported on launchpad

that’s not a link for the magazine.. but it’s similar

lusers

Polygon89, For how long?

thanks punsad i will look now

other than games … most of my apps on either OS are free probably

since root is always right anyway

faileas, that means you don’t use as many as I do

Hello, Why is (x)ubuntu giving root shell to Anyone who is behind machine, if some od UUID`s for disk partitions change before boot??

sounds like a feature

giving root shell to anyone, is serious security risk

kahrytan, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/28596

not really

the basics, VLC for DVDs, Paint.net for drawing (one of two apps i can’t get on linux), gaim/pidgin IM, thunderbird for mail, firefox or opera for web (and rarely k-meleon on older windows systems), gnu utils on windows cause i’m a wget whore

because the Shit(TM) just hit the Fan(TM)

nikolam, well, do you have a BIOS password? if not, any local user can have root

from my experience and hardware, I’m not able to run virtualization at a decent enough speed.

kahrytan, it is not fixed as of gusty tribe 5 (ive tried)

That is just silly

btw, is that the so-called “single user mode”?

`1

which is used for maintanence

all those apps other than PDN run on both

faileas, there! I choose BEST software VLC sux in playing DVDs, for example

Ubuntu is SO unecure

so are most linuxes

unsecure????

you want to know security risk? take a windows machine, boot with live cd. Oh, full access. Boot with a password changer disc. Ooh, i got r00t! Local acces =all bets are off

vlc sux? i thought it works find

nikolam, in almost any linux distro, all someone has to do is take your hd out and put it in another computer = complete access

You say Dabian is unsecure also?

s/find/fine/

you have to crypt the partitions if you don’t want an insecure linux

Wow

wait…what? how?

i thought suse was more popular

VLC has libdvdcss . and there’s not too many dvd players

the #suse room only has 200 people

ok

cast, anyone can chroot of a livecd

true of any other OS.

anyone with physical access to a computer can do whatever the hell they want. thats not in the realm of linux to prevent

faileas, for example I use AnyDVD+Cyberlink PowerDVD

Anyway, I will implement encryption for /home from now on..

true of any os

cast, that was the realm nikolam was talking about

AnyDVD does css stuff

hi I have a big problem

what’s your point?

My computer cpu is amd64,

But it IS to linux to prevent to giving ROOT access to everyone on Every (f) reboot..

i wanna install ubuntu..

AnyDVD isn’t free

but true, if someone gains physical access to the computer, you’ve already lost

do it then

that’s what I AM SAYING

nikolam, no it doesnt…..

How can i install ubuntu on amd64?

punsad, do what?

good software isn’t free usually in windows

Polygon89, Over a year and no one fixed it?

that is not a problem

that was meant for m4st3r

grab the amd64 cd

and what will you use instead on linux?

Polygon89, It’s time to upgrade restrictedformat wiki to use xine

you can use the regular 32-bit version (recommended) or the newer 64-bit version (not recommended)

faileas, i don’t know linux! I hope things are better there, aren’t they ?

define better

faileas, maybe some security-enhanced branch of linux with key-based hard disk encryption?

they are better

punsad, what do u want me to define?

so that it can’t be opened without a chip you always carry with you

freedom is always better thna the converse, even if you can’t get microsoft flight simulator to run.

it’s just a joke

amd64 version is installed on my computer..

kahrytan, dont look at me

how do i change the textcolor in open office? if i click it the text becomes red i can’t choose the color

kahrytan, id like for this to be fixed as much as you ukahrytan, id like for this to be fixed as much as you /u

if you’re having problem with it, i’d recommend you to install the 32bit-version

regular i386 version is print log and down

same would work on windows i;ve seen mil spec encrypted systems running win 98!

how do i change the textcolor in open office? if i click it the text becomes red i can’t choose the color

punsad, sorry for stupid moves, my English sux

Polygon89, I got ODD.

personally freedom is running whatever OS i wanna run

faileas, true most OS’s can be secure if given enough effort

Except Vista

ipx_, log message is “mp-bios bug : 8254 timer not connected to io-apic”

anyone know why imagemagick version hasn’t been updated in over 2 years (same old version has just made it into Gutsy also) ?

that was meant for m4st3r

with windows part of it is user culture, admin by default is a ****ing bad idea

sorry cant help you there

oops

ipx_, yeah thanks punsad, what’s mean?

faileas, it’s been partly corrected in vista

m4st3r

google some if you cant make it

so how do u guys search for good soft in linux/ubuntu. I windows I do it through google…

then again, on my first distro i kept a root shell open all the time

that was a typing mistake

ipx_, yeah

faileas, if you use admin as everyday use, it wants you to confirm about every program start

same with linux.. use google

yeah, but still *education* is what makes a system secure. after a while people get complacent

Polygon89, Whats the difference between xine and gstreamer?

google and apt-get

OK

kahrytan, no idea, but it plays all my videos the same as gstreamer…..

but to search what’s *available* you can do thinks like : apt-cache search mp3 (to see what mp3 available software is available… this doesn’t mean its good)

i might partitally switch to ROS for windows based systems once it gets outa alpha, its really interesting

Polygon89, I tried with xine. Ill stick to vlc

ubuntu ola

so are there more free alternatives in linux soft to non-free stuff in windos?

xD

Polygon89, Mostly because my media apps use gstreamer

kahrytan, it doesnt remove gstreamer

you should know better than to irc as root

kahrytan, i have totem-xine installed, and exaile uses gstreamer and it still works fine

ok i’m gonna have to look for an alternative for openoffice, because the GUI is extremely bad

yeah, OOo for MS office etc

there often are alternatives

for example, OO is better than M$O?

koffice?

Has anyone information about the tribe 6 release today???

if you’ve been an office user for a long time, you might find open office not so good

or the same? punsad, why?

Polygon89, I know that

is there any way to set a theme for a kde app that’s running in gnome ?

the real question is does OOo do what you want

as for Office, I use only basic functions there
