| <DaveMorri1> ok, even if something dosen't work in linux, when I do lspci it should at least appear there? | |
| <jayteeuk> It should do, yes. | |
| * jayteeuk has to be up early tomorrow... | |
| <jayteeuk> Night all. | |
| <daviey> night | |
| <DaveMorri1> then this is the 2nd fucking Nova T-500 tuner card I've got that dosen't work | |
| <daviey> DaveMorri1, hmm, sure it aint u? | |
| <daviey> have you tried other cards in that pci slot? | |
| <DaveMorri1> yep | |
| <DaveMorri1> well the 1st one they've 'tested' and said was broke and sent me this one | |
| <DaveMorri1> just found on the mythtv site I need kernel 2.6.19 or higher for the driver built in, but it should still regeister with lspci | |
| <daviey> i dunno, i'm having problems with a onboard bluetooth adapter that isn't showing on lspci or lsusb, but the kernel loads the modules | |
| <daviey> what kernel do you have? | |
| <DaveMorri1> I'll try it in my bros Windows machine | |
| <daviey> DaveMorri1, let us know | |
| <Norf-ubu> Evening | |
| <daviey> Night | |
| <chaddy> evening all | |
| <DaveMorri1> daviey: It works under windows | |
| <daviey> grr | |
| <DaveMorri1> guess I need to open up my feisty box then :) | |
| <daviey> yes | |
| <DaveMorri1> are you able to buy C7 atx boards? Or other very lower wattage atx boards (mini-itx don't have enough pci slots) | |
| <daviey> dunno, is this for a mythbox? | |
| <DaveMorri1> mythserver | |
| <DaveMorri1> need pci slots for the tuner cards | |
| <daviey> DaveMorri1, i suggest #mythtv-users | |
| <DaveMorri1> yeah I was in there the other day, took me a while to find it due to them having it secret | |
| <chaddy> which UK computer retailer was it one could send an SAE to to get "Powered By Ubuntu Linux" stickers from? | |
| <chaddy> with a bit of luck I might be needing quite a few | |

| <mumperer> Hi - I'm running Dapper Drake on an HP box and on running the knoppix 5.1 cd from Linux Format mag it related during set-up that my system/graphics did not have a RTGLX extension so it could not run the 3D effects. Is that extension a software I can download and use, or some esoteric wotsit I have to buy and plug in? Anybody any idea? | |
| <mumperer> And yes, i googled for it, but found the apparently relevant website less than clear ... | |
| <DaveMorri1> he didn't stay long | |
| * X3N_ wonders about upgrading his laptop to fiesty | |
| <constrictor> !RTGLX | |
| <constrictor> X3N_ think it's a good idea to upgrade because i'm thinking about it now actually | |
| <constrictor> ? | |
| <X3N_> well | |
| <X3N_> I'm just trying it out on my VM first, i'll let you know how that goes | |
| <constrictor> from dapper i always used beta first, and then grew to stable as it was released | |
| <constrictor> but i put fiesty on my PC at home and the results were not very encouraging | |
| <constrictor> it was alright but that was HERD 2 | |
| <constrictor> i'll stick around for you review X3N_ | |
| <X3N_> the feature freeze is pretty soon for feisty | |
| <X3N_> mmmmm 842 kB/s | |
| * sheepeatingtaz is running feisty on both desktop & laptop now | |
| <X3N_> ooo 1.1 MB/s | |
| * popey is also running feisty on lappy/desktop | |
| <popey> just upgrading wifeys machine to edgy | |
| <popey> 9.5 mins to download all packages for upgrading from dapper to edgy.. nice | |

| <jamesbrose> Hello everyone :) | |
| <ziadoz> is there a way i can customise ubuntu and make it look more like opensuse (icons/theme)? | |
| <alecjw> ziadoz, opensuse uses KDE. you praobly want to try and coystomise Kubuntu | |
| <ziadoz> im talking about opensuse using gnome | |
| <alecjw> oh.... | |
| <ziadoz> its the icons and theme im looking for mainly | |
| <ziadoz> i dont know where to look though | |
| <alecjw> ziadoz, if you need help actualyl applyign the themes and stuff, popey's made a screecast on it: http://doc.ubuntu.com/screencasts/Customising_Ubuntu_Desktop | |
| <ziadoz> ive watched that screencast :) | |
| <alecjw> oh right | |
| <ziadoz> ive seen pictures of feisty with the open suse icons, cant seem to figure out where to get them though | |
| <chaddy> !seen sdousley | |
| <chaddy> meh | |
| <Norf-ubu> Good evening | |
| <popey> hello | |
| * willskills is away: shops, brb | |
| <Seeker`> lo | |
| <chaddy> http://polishlinux.org/linux/the-future-of-packaging-software-in-linux/ | |
| <chaddy> ^interesting summary, I thought | |
| <jayteeuk> chaddy: You still after those stickers? | |
| <chaddy> hi jayteeuk | |
| <chaddy> aye | |
| <jayteeuk> Linux Emporium. | |
| <chaddy> thanks very much | |
| <jayteeuk> Bear with me one tick and I'll get you the URL. | |
| <chaddy> ;-) | |
| <jayteeuk> http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/products/ubuntu_stickers/ | |
| <chaddy> supah, looking forward to applying 10s if not hundreds of them | |
| <chaddy> hmm, getting them four at a time might not be much use | |
| <chaddy> it'll do for a start, though | |
| <jayteeuk> Well they actually sent me six. :-P | |
| <jayteeuk> Perhaps you could get a bigger strip if you offered to pay though. | |
| <chaddy> aye, I'd rather pay them for a decent amount rather than waste time and money with lots of SAEs ;-) | |
| <chaddy> heh, just googled ubuntu stickers and your link was top | |
| <chaddy> must have been having brain-fart before | |
| <jayteeuk> Not my link. :) Dunno who I got it from actually. | |
| <jayteeuk> Might have been on Planet. | |
| <jayteeuk> Which I notice is magically working in Thunderbird again. | |
| <jayteeuk> I thought four stickers would be enough, but then I applied two to my laptop (one on the reverse side so people sat opposite me can see it) and one on my wife's machine. | |
| <jayteeuk> Then I remembered I wanted one for the PC I intend to build into the spare case I have sitting here. | |
| <jayteeuk> So I'm actually one short. | |
| <jayteeuk> Anyway... I'm crossing my fingers and hoping my kernel trouble is about to be fixed... I'll be back shortly after a reboot or two. | |
| <jayteeuk> Well, that didn't work. :( |
