| <X3N> i seem to be able to turn my alarm clock off without waking up | |
| <X3N> gonna have to move it across the other side of the room | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> I want a frikin shark with a frikin laser beam on its head | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> love that film :]] | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Are there any good DVDs out at the moment? | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> I'm in a dvd watching mood | |
| <mrben> serenity, if you've not seen it ;) | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Nope! | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> good film then? | |
| <mrben> it's been out for a while, but it's dead good | |
| <mrben> but then - I'm a die-hard firefly fan | |
| <mrben> what type of film are you looking for? | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Comedy, action, don't mind :] | |
| <mrben> :) | |
| <mrben> if you've not seen it, go to the cinema and see Casino Royal - it rocks | |
| <mrben> if you're thinking Serenity, then it's an action, sci-fi, space western ;) | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Ive seen it | |
| <mrben> the series is better than the film, but the film is _really_ good | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Anybody been watching Torchwood? Thats a good series. | |
| <mrben> yeah; I've been enjoying it too | |
| <mrben> although sometimes I think they've tried too hard to find content to fit their post-watershed timeline | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> yes | |
| <mrben> but overall it's been very entertaining | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> See the episode with the fairies? | |
| <mrben> one review I saw said it was less adult, more adolescent ;) | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Thats the best one ive seen so far | |
| <mrben> yeah - the fairy episode was scary | |
| <mrben> really nicely done | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Extremely | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> I couldn't watch when the old person was in the house on her own | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> freaky stuff | |
| <mrben> yeah | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Whens it next on? | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> I gotta watch it now :) | |
| <mrben> torchwood? tomorrow night | |
| <mrben> BBC3 | |
| <mrben> although they sometimes run repeats on Saturday evening on BBC3 | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> yeah | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> sweet | |
| * mrben checks freeguide | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> How do you do that? | |
| <mrben> erm - install freeguide ;) | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> * <name> bleh | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Im a noob on ir | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> c | |
| <mrben> ahhhh | |
| <mrben> you type /me <action> | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Ahh :] Thanks | |
| <mrben> so - /me waves looks like this | |
| * mrben waves | |
| * JJRR123Jamesrose waves back | |
| <mrben> oh, and freeguide is at http://freeguide-tv.sourceforge.net/ FYI ;) | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Woop | |
| <mrben> \o/ | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> or apt-get install xmltv | |
| <mrben> sadly no torchwood on bbc3 tonight | |
| <mrben> they're showing crimson tide | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Oh well, something to look forward to | |
| <mrben> heh - it's a weird film | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Never seen it | |
| <mrben> it's not particularly interesting, but when you get to the end it feels like only 15 minutes has gone by | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> wow it has loads of dependencies | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> like 15 | |
| <mrben> ouch | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> to be exact - 18 ! | |
| * mrben has it on Windows here | |
| <mrben> I really must get my mythtv box back up and running | |
| * JJRR123Jamesrose is waiting until after christmas to get his windows laptop :] | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> or a mac mini | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> havn't decided yet | |
| <mrben> I have an old desktop I used as a backend | |
| <mrben> and then run the frontend on my desktop/laptop | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> I just got a ubuntu desktop and ubuntu laptop :] | |
| <mrben> nice | |
| <mrben> I have those too :) | |
| <mrben> my work laptop dualboots | |
| <mrben> my home desktop is all Egy | |
| <mrben> Edgy* | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> same | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Never had any problems with edgy, apart from the boot splash screen stayed the same as the old one | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> which was probably the only reason I upgrade ;) | |
| * JJRR123Jamesrose *cough* | |
| <mrben> :) | |
| * mrben likewise | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> And this really annoying error | |
| <mrben> apart from an issue with my wifi card on edgy | |
| <mrben> it's a known problem, I believe | |
| <mrben> a bit annoying though | |
| <mrben> I originally installed the Warty Warthog pre-release on my lappy | |
| <mrben> :) | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> A Error occured, Please run the package manager from the right click menu or apt-get on a terminal to see what is wrong.

| <JJRR123Jamesrose> nope | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> I can update, do all the things correctly | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> install stuff | |
| <X3N> you'd get a lock error if that was the case | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> yeah | |
| <mrben> you normally get that either with a permissions problem, or if apt-get is running in 2 places at once | |
| <X3N> those permisions look correct | |
| <mrben> X3N: ah; so you're right | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> ;[ | |
| * JJRR123Jamesrose crys | |
| <X3N> close synaptics and do a apt-get autoclean then apt-get update | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> "A package manager is working" - should give it a minute to decide what it wants to do | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> (thats when i hover over the icon) | |
| <X3N> anyone had vmware hanging problems ? | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Im having vmware problems. | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Like - when i try to install it, it keeps looping | |
| <X3N> the program works fine, but the first time you start it up it just sits there for a couple of minutes | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> runing the config | |
| <X3N> oh yeah | |
| <X3N> that's a pain in the arse | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> and it does it when i try to install anything so i just purged it or summit | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> and that got rid of ti | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> it | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Has anybody fixed that yet? | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Ps. That error has gone :D | |
| <X3N> there is a work around | |
| <X3N> good good | |
| <X3N> the loop is caused by the fact that vmware has a kernel module which is built to your current kernel | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> oh | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> DO you know the work around? | |
| <X3N> i don't think the packagers have got all the kernels in there | |
| <X3N> or the dependencies right. I install it now by downloading it from vmware | |
| <X3N> means you get the latest version too | |
| <X3N> there are lots of posts on the ubuntu forums about it | |
| <binary2k2> that the vmware workstation or player? | |
| <X3N> player | |
| <binary2k2> hmm, it installed fine for me, on edgy | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Didn't work for me | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> I read about 12 posts on the forums | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> *topics | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> There must be something wrong | |
| * JJRR123Jamesrose *crys*...again | |
| <binary2k2> maybe i'm just lucky :p | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Probably | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Was it a fresh install? | |
| <binary2k2> no, upgrade from dapper | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> meh | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Your lucky | |
| <binary2k2> I had to switch to the player when the kernel module wouldn't compile for worstation, don't know if that's bin fixed yet | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Watching serenity now | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> :p | |
| <mrben> \o/ | |
| <popey> still not seen that | |
| <mrben> :o | |
| <mrben> the series makes the film a much better experience, IMHO, although the film is brilliant | |
| <mrben> you get a better feel for the characters when you've watched the series | |
| <mrben> it's not that it makes more sense, but more that you have deeper feelings towards the characters | |
| <mrben> but it's definitely worth seeing | |
| <popey> i have watched the series, just never got round to the film | |
| <mrben> :o | |
| <mrben> wow | |
| <mrben> you're in for a treat then, if you liked the series | |

| <chaddy> segmentation faults, in particular? | |
| <joshd> yea, hold on: | |
| <joshd> segmentation faults? | |
| <chaddy> just having a google, could be that there's an irq conflict with your eth0 | |
| <chaddy> wikipedia has a better explanation on segfaults (and much besides) than I can give | |
| <joshd> want me to paste the output? | |
| <chaddy> /msg me it and I'll paste the relevant bits as needed | |

| <jamesbrose> Im off adios | |
| <anti-net_> joshd, use mine http://liqnet.pastebin.com | |
| <joshd> that modprobe doesnt pull up anything | |
| <chaddy> lsmod|grep link | |
| <joshd> nothing | |
| <chaddy> or replace link with something you know to be in the module name | |

| <chaddy> that looks promising | |
| <chaddy> a while since I used ndiswrapper... next steps ifconfig, ifup, perhaps? | |
| <joshd> ifconfig has eth0 and lo, but no wireless adaptor | |
| <joshd> what options does ifup want? | |
| <joshd> (anti_net, your pastebin doesnt work) | |
| <joshd> if i use ndiswrapper without ndisgtk, it SAYS that the driver is installed fine, yet wlan0 is never in the ifcongig | |
| <joshd> any ideas? | |
| <chaddy> could be ath0, also seen rausb0 for a dongle | |

| <popey> !automatix | |
| <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe | |
| <chaddy> anti-net_: pass him this, please https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | |
| <anti-net_> !WorksForMe | |
| <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. | |
| <popey> !WorksForMe | |
| <LoudMouthMan> hahah I read !automatix as an expression of popeys desire to NOT use it .. I guess i been coding a bit to much this week ! | |
| * popey needed that information from ubotu to support he suggestion to someone NOT to use it | |
| <chaddy> I've used automatix on this install, it's not perfect | |
| <anti-net_> does automatix handle stuff like closed software? | |
| <popey> define "handle" | |
| <chaddy> aye, it gave me flash, and acrobat | |
| <popey> it will install non-free stuff, yes | |
| <anti-net_> install, uninstall, kill | |
| <popey> yes anti-net_ | |
| <anti-net_> so why do people use it over Synaptic? | |
| <binary2k2> because they are dumb? | |
| <popey> s/dumb/lazy | |
| <binary2k2> or both | |
| <popey> they want an easy way to install stuff, it provides that | |
| <popey> they dont know or care for the consequences | |
| <anti-net_> hmm i know alot of people like that | |
| <popey> exactly | |
| <anti-net_> They then come running when its broken :( | |
| <popey> when automatix first came out they were very anti it in #ubuntu | |
| <popey> the bot message was a bit stronger iirc | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <popey> LoudMouthMan: you pinged me earlier? | |
