00:00 <****> redhatrik, this was the the core 2 duo, but it probably is alot better now
00:00 <****> juan, thanks. i will try that then. Thats what i thought.
00:00 <****> just wondering ...........I've booted the live distro of Gutsy and am wanting to get Beryl/Compiz working
00:00 <****> /q thx
00:00 <****> bah
00:00 <****> was much frustration under Feisty
00:01 <****> twoshadetod: Did you get it working when you were playing with it?
00:01 <****> bobby_, if you are looking at the system reported free memory, keep in mind in a normal running linux system will have much of it's memory used for disk cache, which can be freed as necessary
00:01 <****> zach_: i can help with an overview
00:01 <****> zach_: what have you tried
00:01 <****> bobby_, and you want anacron
00:01 <****> redhatrik, it "works" now on the single version (smp ? i think) but has some problems
00:01 <****> zach_: what you need to know about webcams is this:
00:01 <****> can you please tell me the name of the standard C math library? i want to install it in ubuntu from the repositories
00:02 <****> understood twoshadetod
00:02 <****> tks
00:02 <****> 1. there are no known webcam manufacturers that actually ahve opened their drivers or provided documentation
00:02 <****> redhatrik, but i installed it along time ago and never tinkered with it, like boxes dont have minimizers and stuff..It's also beryl which at the time i was told was the "good" one but now I here that compiz is better but thats just passing comments in here
00:02 <****> Searching the ubuntu forums. It seems to work in the gstreamer-properties when i chose v4l2
00:02 <****> 2. this generally means there is no webcam support
00:02 <****> 3. with one exception
00:02 <****> ah, kewl. Tks twoshadetod
00:02 <****> any tips on gettng WEP working with network manager on a dell 1505 with the broadcom card?
00:02 <****> redhatrik, but im not a good authority the regs in here know alot more , dont give up on my answer
00:02 <****> but thats all it works in that test mode in gstreamer-properties
00:02 <****> 3 a) there is rudimentary webcam support via built in drivers but thats model specific
00:03 <****> Pici, laptop mode is set as disabled in /etc/default/acpi-support, but I noticed from sysv-rc-conf that laptop mode is still in the run levels of boot?
00:03 <****> nanda: what drivers you using, i find bc drivers have better performance but ndiswrapper is more stable
00:03 <****> Well can you help me identify my webcam. and then make v4l2 the default
00:03 <****> 3 b) there is a very very nice french fellow who is a doctor as a full time job that writes webcam drivers in his spare time. he has support for dozens if not hundreds of models out there
00:03 <****> twoshadetod: Not to worry. I've been running Linux since it came out as a "full" distro back in 92-93
00:03 <****> bonne nuit/good night
00:03 <****> anyone know how to make upgrade-manager use my own mirror instead of its own?
00:03 <****> redhatrik, looks like I'll be bothering *you* for help soon hahhaa
00:03 <****> its taking forever to download the packages it wants to upload
00:04 <****> we haev a local mirror for this
00:04 <****> zach_: your basic bet is kinda like this: a) google your laptop webcam model and check out the support b) search out the french dude that writes drivers and see if he has something you can use and find out how to install/compile them properly for your ubuntu version
00:04 <****> I was just wondering since the graphics drivers for my ATI200M on a 64Bit laptop are a _pain_
00:04 <****> zach_: i hope that answers a few of your questions
00:04 <****> Thanks so much! I'm just waiting for the files to load, but it's grabbing more of the music than before! Tahnks!
00:04 <****> anytime twoshadetod, anytime
00:04 <****> Ok, gparted screwed up my home partition, basically it shrank the partition, but never updated the superblock to tell it that the partition is 9GB smaller. How can I fix this discrepency?
00:04 <****> redhatrik, I use a notebook also
00:04 <****> software sources
00:04 <****> redhatrik, funny thing is , i hated them before, i always said i wouldn't use one, but this one changed me, and i love it (hp dv6000) what kind do you have
00:04 <****> Did you read what i said. It doesnt work in any programs except in gstreamer-properties and only then when you go to test mode for v4l2
00:04 <****> ive just found a couple of really stupid problems in the repos where do i file a name&dependency change
00:05 <****> !bugs | juan

00:05 <****> astro76, if i edit /etc/apt/sources.list it seems to overwrite it
00:05 <****> twoshadetod: it wouldn't be the gateway mx6440 would it?
00:05 <****> Hi, just came to ask, what do I say to someone who say "Python is rubbish, no-one uses it."?
00:06 <****> Noodels: just ask 'em what they're trying to do
00:06 <****> can anyone help me with ldap? http://pastebin.org/6544
00:06 <****> Noodels: it's been my experience that some folks don't explore other languages because they haven't had a need to use 'em
00:06 <****> hi, I'm using Gutsy. I got the error message "error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so"
00:06 <****> astro76, hmm.. my local mirror shows up as "third-party software" here.. and i can't seem to add a custom mirror in Ubuntu Software section
00:06 <****> can you please tell me the name of the standard C math library? i want to install it in ubuntu from the repositories
00:06 <****> Nothing, just someone complaining about linux because "It's ****".
00:06 <****> Hey, is there a way to load IRSSI via menu?
00:06 <****> Noodels: Tell em google uses it quite a bit.
00:06 <****> or do I have to run it via virtual console?
00:07 <****> EvilAIM, you could probably make a launcher for it
00:07 <****> EvilAIM, I'm sure you can do the same by adding it ot the menu manually
00:07 <****> It's python he's specifically annoyed at.
00:07 <****> Noodels: If you really want to impress them, tell 'em that MetaSploit uses it rather heavily :-D
00:07 <****> is there a package that allows the mouse to work in a text terminal for something like lynx
00:07 <****> got it.
00:08 <****> ast time I checked metasploit uses ruby redhatrik at least now
00:08 <****> I had to change "TYPE" from application to application in terminal
00:08 <****> /secretly googles "metasploit" grinning to himself
00:08 <****> T` you should just be replacing the URL in the lines for the standard repos, not adding new lines
00:08 <****> eegore: I'm on a fresh install of gutsy and the mouse works in links2
00:08 <****> yes, one of the last changes to it (from 1.0 to 2.0 I believe) was to implement more ruby-related constructs
00:08 <****> Does world of warcraft use any python?
00:08 <****> astro76, but do i have to change the feisty to gutsy as well?
00:08 <****> sorry; from 2.0 to 3.0
00:09 * redhatrik was suprised at how much more quickly the latest ver loaded than the prev.........
00:09 <****> T`, sorry I thought you said, update, you said upgrade
00:09 <****> yea
00:09 <****> astro76, any idea on how i can do that from upgrade?
00:10 <****> hmm
00:10 <****> EnigmaCurry: I have to use Feisty on this lappy
00:10 <****> T` yeah the upgrade manager changes the sources.list first thing... if I had to guess I'd say a manual apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
00:10 <****> power control for Gutsy is problematic
00:10 <****> eegore: Sorry that I don't know what package makes it work.. it's just stock. It's pretty neat though.. even works over SSH
00:10 <****> astro76, i was wondering if that would be ok to do or not
00:10 <****> T`, not sure if there's a way to use the upgrade manager to do that, maybe someone else does ;)
00:10 <****> need some help, I cannot log completely into gnome cause my initial boot sound (drums) keeps repeating. How do I kill this process
00:10 <****> eegore: maybe you should just try installing links2?
00:11 <****> T`, I've read in here that the upgrade manager is the way the upgrade should be done now, I don't know what the difference is
00:11 <****> astro76, oh ok.. np
00:11 <****> i'm reading their sources
00:11 <****> Hello all! Does anyone know how to recover the notification-daemon popups? Or which package provides them?
00:12 <****> hi
00:12 <****> how do i kill the audio process?
00:12 <****> My avant-window-navigator once stole them, but thereafter, it never worked the other way.
00:12 <****> \i need help with apache 2 setting virtual server up on without a domain,
00:12 <****> epiphany keeps crashing on me when i recover the session, but i don't want to lose it. can anyone help?
