(07:00:15 PM) thiebaude: yup
(07:00:16 PM) Guest_5057: im in
(07:00:26 PM) _Jot_: unix is not related to ubuntu, ubuntu is linux based, which is similar to unix, but not based on unix
(07:00:27 PM) warcow105: lol
(07:00:28 PM) agamotto: Apple is ok, I suppose. I am just tired of the whole 'lock' in

(07:08:23 PM) mmdmurphy: CARRIE - BIGGEST TIP = have something to say. I have not looked at yours, so it is not a criticism.
(07:08:27 PM) agamotto: Jalapenos.... let me know when you graduate to rellenos....
(07:08:29 PM) ***Dosbomber is sweating... in February

(07:09:08 PM) DaveySpeedstar: I reinstalled Ubuntu over the weekend & when I hit the lauch button for the vidwo all I get is a black screen - have I forgotten to install something?
(07:09:12 PM) agamotto: Chai?
(07:09:18 PM) Ashleyl left the room (quit: Client Quit).
(07:09:21 PM) RexDameon: Robbie do you know a good open source (i.e. works in Ubuntu) Video Editor comparable to Sony Vegas? or anyone?
(07:09:31 PM) agamotto: DaveySpeedstar: Codecs of some kind?
(07:09:55 PM) DaveySpeedstar: possibly - but I have no idea whih ones
(07:10:09 PM) popey: everyone I know says "sa-ta" not "Serial A T A "
(07:10:10 PM) popey: :)
(07:10:15 PM) GoodGuy [n=GoodGuy@c-68-43-171-219.hsd1.mi.comcast.net] entered the room.
(07:10:16 PM) agamotto: Use perfectbuntu on category5.tv to fetch the missing ones
(07:10:31 PM) DaveySpeedstar: ah-ha - good point!
(07:10:36 PM) gsiegel: Robbie - I tried to set up a 3-way boot machine (xp,Ubuntu, Fedora10) when Fedora was installed, it overwrote my grub menu and I lost my ubuntu option. Any ideas ?
(07:11:06 PM) bcsurfer: too dark to see the pins
(07:11:07 PM) popey: also IDE doesn't support hot-swap, which SATA does :)
(07:11:24 PM) CarrieW: sa-ta sounds better
(07:11:32 PM) popey: yeah :)
(07:11:34 PM) ajamison5579: Make sure you get a enclosure with a fan
(07:11:34 PM) GoodGuy: Just copy the Fedora entry and change the drive assignments gsiegel
(07:11:36 PM) popey: less geeky :)
(07:11:41 PM) _Jot_: I use an external device that has USB to SATA/IDE/laptop IDE at once, so whatever disk I need to connect, I only need to plug that device in
(07:11:44 PM) ajamison5579: i got one without and burned out my drive
(07:12:00 PM) GoodGuy: hda2 --> hda5 or whatever the correct value is
(07:12:05 PM) agamotto: gsiegel: You can edit menu.list for grub, or you can re-install, adding Ubuntu as the last OS. It should pick up on the Win and Fedora, adding both to the list automagically
(07:12:22 PM) GoodGuy: That's an even better idea agamotto :-)
(07:12:23 PM) gsiegel left the room (quit: "CGI:IRC (EOF)").
(07:12:26 PM) gsiegel [n=44a742c8@popey.com] entered the room.
(07:12:46 PM) bcsurfer: eagle tech makes a nice SATA enclosure...
(07:12:47 PM) GoodGuy: although no need to reinstall unless he overlaid it
(07:12:49 PM) gsiegel: Goodguy.. sorry lost chat connect
(07:12:54 PM) GoodGuy: Just copy the Fedora entry and change the drive assignments gsiegel
(07:12:56 PM) agamotto: Generally, when doing multi-boots, add Ubuntu last as it is the most forgiving of other OSs
(07:12:57 PM) GoodGuy: hda2 --> hda5 or whatever the correct value is
(07:13:20 PM) daytribe: aka Mike Day. I see what you mean about the pins. Perhaps the enclosure is the way to go. Or look out for a spare SATA drive or 2! Thanks for pointing out the option.
(07:13:20 PM) GoodGuy: If you installed so they coexist, just change the values
(07:13:20 PM) ajamison5579: Robbie what about a fan does that enclsure have a fan
(07:13:20 PM) Ashleyl [n=51658719@popey.com] entered the room.
(07:13:20 PM) agamotto: GoodGuy: good point

(07:13:59 PM) GoodGuy: so you would need to ask Robbie the terminal command to find that out
(07:14:00 PM) Ashleyl: robbie my internet is so anoyying i going to have to watch some other time
(07:14:03 PM) Ashleyl: pace out

(07:14:35 PM) thiebaude: Robbie:is Lilo available in ubuntu?
(07:14:45 PM) GoodGuy: I did the command months ago, so I recall it was a terminal command
(07:15:16 PM) warcow105: i believe lilo is in the repos
(07:15:16 PM) gsiegel left the room (quit: Client Quit).
(07:15:16 PM) GoodGuy: Google and you should find it
(07:15:23 PM) bcsurfer: Thiebaude... Grub is the default but I thnk you can do lilo if you really want to...
(07:15:34 PM) agamotto: Lilo is in Synaptic

(07:16:18 PM) warcow105: i used lilo back in slackware, ubuntu was my first experience with grub, I like grub better lol
(07:16:27 PM) popey: gtk-recordmydesktop is pretty good
(07:16:29 PM) GoodGuy: I just installed ubuntu on my sister-in-law's PC when Vista went south
(07:16:35 PM) agamotto: GRUB is a bit more forgiving
(07:16:43 PM) thiebaude: i tried lilo in linuxpcos 2007 yesterday
(07:16:46 PM) Dosbomber: Sounds like TweakUI for Windows
(07:16:49 PM) GoodGuy: she picked it up today, so I'll hear from her later

(07:26:59 PM) _Jot_: laptops can overheat, batteries can explode...
(07:27:00 PM) GoodGuy: I did a grub-install to the wrong place
(07:27:05 PM) popey: CarrieW: that's why you have backups :)
(07:27:15 PM) GoodGuy: That did a pretty good job of messing things up

(07:29:13 PM) GoodGuy: I grub-installed and added a -root directory
(07:29:14 PM) _Jot_: Carrie, be careful, it may be the extra % that got you excited
(07:29:28 PM) GoodGuy: It went the wrong place and nothing came up
(07:30:11 PM) daytribe: Robbie, Is the wobbly windows setting in Ubuntu tweak, independant of whether you have compiz installed or do you need compiz too?
(07:30:16 PM) agamotto: Shortcuts for rodent-haters!
(07:30:31 PM) agamotto: It is probably the one from Cimpiz
(07:30:36 PM) agamotto: Compiz, even
(07:30:48 PM) ajamison5579: Chimpiz
(07:30:54 PM) bcsurfer: wobbly windows is a compiz effect
(07:30:54 PM) ajamison5579: the monkey version
(07:31:16 PM) agamotto: For those with IQs below 85....
(07:31:24 PM) gsiegel: so with ubutu tweak, do you still need compiz ?
(07:31:30 PM) ajamison5579: yes
(07:31:36 PM) agamotto: To tweak the fancy gfx, yes
(07:31:38 PM) ajamison5579: it is just a way of configuring it
(07:31:41 PM) GoodGuy: Compiz is video eye candy

(07:43:09 PM) _Jot_: dosbomber: the 16f877 has two ADC, I think
(07:43:14 PM) GoodGuy: Its getting good ratings now Guest50840
(07:43:26 PM) Dosbomber: lol.. thanks Jot.. was kind of a joke. :)
(07:43:30 PM) agamotto: Norton needs alot of room to do its work.... otherwise fine
(07:43:30 PM) GoodGuy: But Avast is decent
(07:43:37 PM) bcsurfer: Try avg from grisoft.com

(07:44:18 PM) thiebaude: I prefer Ubuntu:)
(07:44:21 PM) GoodGuy: Thats what I guessed
(07:44:25 PM) _Jot_: you will probably also want anti-spyware software, such as adaware from www.lavasoft.com, spybot from www.spybot.info and so on
(07:44:25 PM) warcow105: Dosbomber, 8 channel 10bit adc
(07:44:26 PM) agamotto: AVG has a little problem with wanting to connect to the internet while Explorer is loading

(07:46:51 PM) GoodGuy: I believe so bcsurfer
(07:46:55 PM) warcow105: maybe he didnt install the deb? not enough privs
(07:47:01 PM) Mr_Scary911: Hmm. Handbreak works great for me in Ubuntu but it doesn't work so good under windows. Go figure.
(07:47:26 PM) bcsurfer: personally I use DVD::RIP and I love it...
(07:47:30 PM) agamotto: It may be having troubles with the 32bit libraries if he doesn't have the 32bit patches/libs
(07:47:30 PM) GoodGuy: I saw a show on Handbrake... I think it was Tekzilla or Systm (Patrick Norton)
(07:47:32 PM) popey: handbrake is also a video converter
(07:47:44 PM) GoodGuy: They said stay away from Handbrake on Windows iirc
(07:47:50 PM) agamotto: bcsurfer: My fave
(07:47:50 PM) GoodGuy: said it was great on Mac
(07:47:53 PM) agamotto: Ahh, ok
(07:48:05 PM) popey: handbrake is built on free software that originated on linux
(07:48:45 PM) Mr_Scary911: I think the problems I see on Windows are DRM related.
(07:49:02 PM) agamotto: GoodGuy: It was the Systm episode about moving stuff around your network and ripping your DVDs
