| ROnewbie | green_: crank handle ? |
| elifed | ROnewbie, he was joking |
| predaeus | Fathefner, what does it do? |
| green_ | yeah as in a wind up? |
| elifed | I think... |
| ROnewbie | oooooooooooo |
| Fathefner | when i get on wondows then i try to get on ubuntu it doesnt open windows |
| ROnewbie | funny. quietly funny. :-) |
| abuyazan | how can i fix this problem about ttf-opensymbol i sent the error in pastebin |
| elifed | ROnewbie, okay, ironically intel designed the AC'97 spec |
| abuyazan | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15199/ |
| green_ | with as many wifis there are around u wouldnt even need a home if laptops had a wind up handle |
| Fathefner | then i have to reinstall ubuntu so i can get the grub working again |
| predaeus | Fathefner, sorry I don't understand what you mean. you mean after booting windows and then rebooting into ubuntu you can't reboot into windows? |
| Loevborg | How do I show, on the command line, all installed packages matching a pattern (name with wildcards such as *wlan*)? |
| jrib | Loevborg: dpkg -l '*wlan*' | grep '^ii' |
| ROnewbie | elifed: I ran a couple of weeks ago, last time I had the patience to go through this (I really want to quit windows), into a forum post where a guy with a similar problem solved it by playing with the alsamixer - he just turned some switches on and off again; I turned all of mine on in alsamixer, just in case. Nada. Zip. |
| zeroflag | could someone take a look at this script, whether it makes sense or could be useful? http://pastebin.ca/436093 (installs newest NVIDIA drivers) |
| elifed | green_, OLPC |
| Loevborg | jrib: yea, but that's awkward and needs nasty "COLUMNS=999" hacks |
| Visti | Can't you just do a 'sudo aptitude rem wlan' - As long as there's not a package actually called wlan |
| jrib | Loevborg: or aptitude search '~i~n*mplayer*' |
| theTrav | dangit, the instructions don't appear correct for ubuntu 6.10 |
| Fathefner | ya i cant rebott into any OS |
| predaeus | or something like dpkg --get-selections | grep *wlan* |
| jrib | Loevborg: oops, taht doesn't work. It's: aptitude search '~i~n.*mplayer.*' |
| ROnewbie | elifed: following a wifi and a widescreen 3-day-long troubleshooting session, this is really annoying. |
| elifed | ROnewbie, as in muted? |
| ROnewbie | elifed: yes |
| gesus | hey there wondering if someone can help me --> i'm trying to create a heap of directories from a text file (i.e. each line needs to be a directory). i'm using the command " mkdir `cat file.txt` ". Each line is in inverted commas, but even still that command creates directories wherever there is a space. i.e. "this is one line" creates four dirs, "this", "is", "one", "line". can anyone help me?? |
| Gothfunc | hi. in vlc, i have a subtle yet obtrusive diagonal line from top left to bottom right across any movie or dvd. i'm using ubuntu edgy, can anyone help? |
| theTrav | it instructs to click add to enable repositories, but that's no longer available |
| elifed | ah, yeah I have drama like that with this laptop in Slackware |
| Gothfunc | the line is formed seemingly by the two diagonal halves being misaligned slightly |
| jrib | Loevborg: there are probably some switches to pass to aptitude to get it to return only packages, but I forget |
| Fathefner | <predaeus> or something like dpkg --get-selections | grep *wlan* is that what i do |
| elifed | well, off to work |
