| neverblue2 | i guess the truth is disturbing, and everyone is just trying to help |
| kenthomson | DJNOVA2006: answer all my questions |
| LjL | kenthomson: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/92599 |
| Letharion | Zedfloyd: It's sort of a standard that certain (mostly *nix) OS's try to comply with. |
| variant | !offtopic | neverblue2 |
| PCGenie | DJNOVA2006, do you have any win98 on other hard drive partitions anywhere near you? |
| LjL | kenthomson: this also mentions Option "IgnoreEDID" "true" and Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP", had you tried those? |
| ubotu | neverblue2: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! |
| kenthomson | LjL: let me see, a bug is surely depressing unless it is solved |
| neverblue2 | tritium: and its not rude to send ppl to the "offtopic" channel |
| zedfloyd | what are the best linx to look for free linux programs |
| DJNOVA2006 | PCGENIE no ony on cd |
| tritium | neverblue2: it is to say "buzz off" |
| Civic | Does anybody know, how to restore the icons on the panel, that it show text too, not only icon? |
| cosmodad | is there anything special I need to make amarok play FLAC files? |
| stefg | !codecs | bobbob1016 |
| neverblue2 | tritium: answer the question |
| ubotu | bobbob1016: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: 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 |
| pbx | jrib: Yeah, everything seems to work. |
| variant | Zedfloyd: google with the term linux and the program you want to find |
| kenthomson | LjL: DFP wouldn't be applicable as although i have a LCD, it connects through A VGA AND NOT A DVI, so for nvidia it is a CRT |
| neverblue2 | twice I might add |
| PCGenie | DJNOVA2006, well, it is really easy then, just wipe your hard drive and boot with win98 cd |
| tritium | neverblue2: no, it's not rude to be asked to go to -offtopic |
| ikonia | kenthomson its not crt - its still DFP |
| cosmodad | playing FLAC files in amarok doesn't work for me, though I have gstreamer flac stuff installed |
| DJNOVA2006 | how do i do that??? |
| ikonia | ughhh didn't mean to respond |
| variant | PCGenie: as 3 people have already told him |
| Letharion | Zedfloyd: Go to wikipedia if you really want the details :P |
| PCGenie | variant, yikes |
| zedfloyd | i just want to browse a site to know what is popular and program options... i am new to linux |
| DJNOVA2006 | variant, i dont know how |
|
|
| void^ | neverblue2: why doesn't your question contain pastebin links to your Xorg.*.log and xorg.conf? |
| variant | DJNOVA2006: insert your win98 cd and power off/on the pc |
| jrib | pbx: I'm looking at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/59946 . Do you get the same error if you run the 'network-admin' in a terminal (no sudo) and what is the output of the 'groups' command? |
| Civic | how to enable text under the icons on the panel? |
| ikonia | DJNOVA2006 put the windows cd into your cd driver and reboot |
| PCGenie | DJNOVA2006, you need help from someone in person then |
| DJNOVA2006 | variant, its not a livecd |
