| Dr_Willis | Narya: depends on what it Really is.. |
|---|
| coz_ | Narya, first right click the file go to properties |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | .bin means nothing. :) what is it supposed to be? |
|---|
| theadmin | Dr_Willis: .jpg means nothing for Linux too ;) But we're used that it reffers to image/jpeg |
|---|
| coz_ | Narya, then the Permissions tab and tick the "Execute" box |
|---|
| onetinsoldier | Narya: try the following command to see what kind of file it really is.... file <file.bin> |
|---|
| coz_ | Narya, then open a terminal...cd to that location and run ./nameof.bin |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: .bin is so vague that it means nothing these days. at least .runme would make sence. |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | Narya: what is it supposed to be? |
|---|
| theadmin | Dr_Willis: .bin = binary = runnable straight away |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: unless its a cue. or a ROM image for a game.. or a ...... |

| theadmin | Dr_Willis: ...oh... :/ |
|---|
| coz_ | :) |
|---|
| Narya | Dr_Willis, mozilla firefox adobe reader plugin |
|---|
| mezen | ryan__, can you tell me what is the computer you have ? |
|---|
| BluesKaj | ryan__, applications / sound |
|---|
| Narya | !pastebin |
|---|
| coz_ | Narya, ooo you should be able to just drag that onto firefox window I believe |
|---|
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. |
|---|
| beware | i think the kernel update i did on ubuntu 10.04 recently made it incompatible with the nvidia driver |
|---|
| johann | I would like to mount permanently a SSH connexion but I am not sure how to proceed. Can someone help me? |
|---|
| coz_ | beware, did you try a hard reboot = restart? |
|---|
| beware | after the update: yes |
|---|
| Narya | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ |
|---|
| beware | again: no |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | johann: thats doable via sshfs. if you mean mount a remote box to a local directory |
|---|
| Narya | coz_, that's what happened |
|---|
| manibuntu | hello |
|---|
| coz_ | beware, ok and is the nvidia driver one you installed via Hardware drivers |
|---|
| Narya | coz_, dragging it into firefox just caused to to redownload somehow... |
|---|
| coz_ | Narya, that pastebin is empty |
|---|
| beware | i think so. maybe through enabling hardware acceleration in the config, but nothing manual |
|---|
| e01 | onetinsoldier, Dr_Willis , perfect, it working now :) |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | johann: read up on sshfs and examples of usng it from fstab |
|---|
| beware | rebooted. still doesnt work |
|---|
| onetinsoldier | e01: cool :-) you're welcome |
|---|
| luckyone | hello all - anyone in here running xbmc on 10.04? |
|---|
| e01 | next time when want kde i will install just kubuntu :D |
|---|
| coz_ | Narya, did you open firefox go to "Tools" then "Addons" and search for that plugin on their site? |
|---|
| Narya | coz_ http://pastebin.com/EafXaSMb |
|---|
| ryan__ | mezen, I have a HP Pavillion TX2530ea Tablet PC. |
|---|
| theadmin | Narya: If Firefox tries to download the .xpi file instead of installing - it's a broken addon |
|---|
| niko-mojo | Anyone know how to get around this "Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services" ? I'm a little confused with IRC |
|---|
| onetinsoldier | e01: roger. i have kbuntu installed in separate partition here just in case i want to run it ;) |
|---|
| onetinsoldier | kubuntu* |
|---|
| Narya | theadmin, coz_ It looks like it installed even though it didnt look like it would |
|---|
| luckyone | I am having some issues getting xbmc to use my libvdpau1 package from the nvidia ppa |
|---|
| SmarttViking | Hi all, i am running a computer with 4gb ddr3 ram, and a dual core 2.33ghz prosessor, 64bit or 32bit OS? |
|---|
| coz_ | Narya, ok in that pastebin I see you used "run" no need just type ./AdbeRd and hit the tab button to complete the name |
|---|
|
|
| drizzt_ | what exactly is in my /usr/src folder? can I remove it? |
|---|
| ryan__ | BluesKaj: I removed pulseaudio from synaptic and i'm still getting it. |
|---|
| DJones | niko-mojo: It means that you need to have registered your nick with freenode and be logged in with that account |
|---|
| beware | when i startx (i don't use gdm/kdm) i get "failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module", etc |
|---|
| DJones | !register | niko-mojo |
|---|
| ubottu | niko-mojo: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode |
|---|
| onetinsoldier | drizzt_: don't remove /usr/src |
|---|
| drizzt_ | onetinsoldier, why? |
|---|
| beware | doing it this way has always worked before, including earlier on in 10.04, until now |
|---|
| onetinsoldier | drizzt_: maybe you could, but i wouldn't recommend it. |
|---|
| drizzt_ | so you don;t know and still give advices? wonderful |
|---|
| manibuntu | anyone here use mdadm with raid 1 plz ? |
|---|
| niko-mojo | ubotto - but I logged onto pidgin using niko-mojo@irc.ubuntu.com |
|---|
| onetinsoldier | drizzt_: nope.. don't think you'd want to remove that dir. stuff does get installed there by default! |
|---|
| coz_ | Narya, so I assume this .bin is on the desktop so open terminal type cd Desktop then type ./Ad hit tab to complete name and then hit enter |
|---|
| Narya | coz_ somehow it was already installed even though firefox said it wasnt |
|---|
| SmarttViking | Hi all, i am running a computer with 4gb ddr3 ram, and a dual core 2.33ghz prosessor, should i use 64bit or 32 but Ubuntu? I don't use 16bit software to my knowledge. |
|---|
| onetinsoldier | drizzt_: by default... i have in /usr/src --> fglrx-8.723.1 linux-headers-2.6.32-22 linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic linux-source-2.6.32.tar.bz2 |
|---|
| Narya | coz_, started up firefox again and there it was |
|---|
| coz_ | Narya, mm that's interesting |
|---|
| Narya | coz_, I agree |
|---|
| onetinsoldier | ok, perhaps the linux-source-2.6.32.tar.bz2 isn't 'default'.. but the rest is! |
|---|
| coz_ | Narya, ok I would guess the best way to install firefox plugins is through the Tools/addons menu |
|---|
| beware | is there an official easy way to update nvidia drivers from the console so as to make them match the kernel again? |
|---|
| Narya | coz_, I guess so |
|---|
| coz_ | Narya, go to their site and search for the plugins you want and they install from there |
|---|
| coz_ | :) |
|---|
| theadmin | SmarttViking: What OS are you currently on? |
|---|
| niko-mojo | ubottu - oops - it says name is in use |
|---|
| Narya | coz_, ok Ill do that from now :) thanks |
|---|
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) |
|---|
| Narya | niko-mojo, ubottu is a bot lul |
|---|
| coz_ | Narya, no problem... |
|---|
| SmarttViking | theadmin, I use ubuntu 10.04 |
|---|
| SmarttViking | theadmin, 32 bit |
|---|
| DJones | niko-mojo: ubottu is a bot, if you need help registering, you should join #freenode and they'll be able to help you with registering and logging into the account so you can join the channel you were trying to get into |
|---|
| ManDay | I press ^ and a and I get ^a - does Ubtuntu not support UTF-8 =! |
|---|
| onetinsoldier | drizzt_: you want to brutally rip out your kernel headers installation(if you have them installed) from /usr/src, go right ahead then |
|---|
| theadmin | SmarttViking: Uh. Well if it works... However for >3 GB ram it's better to run 64-bit systems. |
|---|
| mezen | ryan__, in System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Hardware tab, set Profile to Analog Stereo Duplex |
|---|
| theadmin | ManDay: Ubuntu uses UTF-8 by default :/ |
|---|
| ManDay | can i not expect from a contemporary OS to take into account composing chars as COMPOSING?! |
|---|
| greezmunkey | SmarttViking: run this to find your *exact* cpu: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -e "cpu" -e "model" |
|---|
| ManDay | theadmin, well then why does it not compose? |
|---|
| niko-mojo | Naraya - Djones - thx, think my name is in use by someone else. |
|---|
| theadmin | ManDay: Compose... I dunno what that even is, sorry |
|---|
| SmarttViking | theadmin, ok think you i will install 64 bit, i have never tried that before. :) |
|---|
| drizzt_ | ManDay, you need keyboard layout with dead keys or set up composing key |
|---|
| ManDay | drizzt_, WITH dead keys?! |
|---|
| bsmith093 | what is composding key, like music composing |
|---|
| ManDay | i want NEITHER dead keys NOR not working composing chars |
|---|
| SmarttViking | greezmunkey, I'm sorry i am not at that PC now. :) |
|---|
| ManDay | i want it to work ... just like on windows |
|---|
| ManDay | yes... i just said that |
|---|
| ManDay | and NO, im not going to install windows "then" |
|---|
| drizzt_ | ManDay, only Word use composing this way |
|---|
| theadmin | ManDay: Uhm. I type "^a" and I get "^a" on Windows. |
|---|
| greezmunkey | SmarttViking: make it king of hard to run then, huh. |
|---|
| mezen | ryan__, if it does'nt work, type "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" then add this line at the end of the file: "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" without "" and reboot |
|---|
| wildc4rd | afternoon all! |
|---|
| ManDay | theadmin, thats because you are a freak |
|---|
| ManDay | j/k :P |
|---|
| drizzt_ | ManDay, still, you need keyboard layout with dead keys |
|---|
| creat0r | anybody knows how the bandwidth monitoring tools work???? |
|---|
| mickster04 | creat0r: magic |

|---|
| bsmith093 | pm |
|---|
| greezmunkey | ne7work: what are you trying to do? |
|---|
| ManDay | drizzt_, well if by "dead" you mean that i can only type a ^ through ^<space> then that is ok |
|---|
| drizzt_ | ManDay, if you can do yhis on Windows, you're using dead key layout, 'like US International' |
|---|
| drizzt_ | ManDay, that's what dead key mean |
|---|
| ManDay | drizzt_, i thought dead keys means i can aswell pick them off my keyboard |
|---|
