| <Commander-Crowe> so that it'll tell me what linux/kernel it has | |
| <sensei> uname -r | |
| <Commander-Crowe> uname -r? | |
| <sensei> That'll tell you the kernel version | |
| <Commander-Crowe> ok | |
| <Commander-Crowe> whats the -r option for? | |
| <sensei> uname -a gives you all sorts of info | |

| <HeathenDan> mornin' | |
| <HeathenDan> and good evening to you jammin | |
| <Jamminpotato> thanks | |
| <Jamminpotato> anyone here have the o'reilly linux pocket guide? | |
| <HeathenDan> i've never actually seen an oreilly linux book here, just the perl and xml ones... | |
| <Jamminpotato> i have ubuntu hacks | |
| <Jamminpotato> and im aobut to buy some more | |
| <Jamminpotato> they are expensive but pretty awesome | |
| <Jamminpotato> i need/want to learn python and perl | |
| <Jamminpotato> i knew a bunc hof python a while ago and promptly forgot it | |
| <Jamminpotato> i suck at typing | |
| <Jamminpotato> i ahvent tweaked anyhing in a while | |
| <HeathenDan> i think i have a couple of perl books lying around | |
| <HeathenDan> but they're mostly for perl-cgi scripting | |
| <Jamminpotato> i think im going to compile my own kernel | |
| <HeathenDan> alas, by the time i learned enough cgi, the web went php =\ | |
| <Jamminpotato> lol | |
| <Jamminpotato> yea i forgot about cgi | |

| <HaroldJohnson> nalioth: See, I'm trible-booting, now that I've got a decent-sized HD | |
| <HaroldJohnson> nalioth: So some days I'm in Xubuntu, other days in OS X, other days even OS 9 | |
| <nalioth> HaroldJohnson: well, you're just a man-about-town, aren't you? | |
| <Jamminpotato> why os9 | |
| <Jamminpotato> ,.? | |
| <Taxman> hmm, where can I set what modules are loaded on boot? | |
| <Taxman> I get a cs: warning no high memory space available then cs: unable to map card memory | |
| <Taxman> I'm assuming if I pulled some other modules there would be enough to load the module for my wireless card, am I on the right track? | |
| <Taxman> interestingly booting from the regular ubuntu livecd doesn't have that problem though | |
| <Commander-Crowe> hallo | |
| <Taxman> hello | |
| <Commander-Crowe> Dragotsrea Dei Tei | |
| <josesito> crimsun, hello! are you there? | |
| <Jamminpotato> apparently not | |
| <Taxman2> anyone have any ideas on the no high memory space issue? | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> Taxman2: http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/doc/PCMCIA-HOWTO-2.html | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> The end of section 2.5 has an explanation. | |
| <Taxman2> PuMpErNiCkLe: thanks, I'll read there | |
| <Taxman2> PuMpErNiCkLe: I don't really understand what that's saying | |
| <Taxman2> nor why that would come up in Xubuntu but not in Ubuntu. Both 6.06 | |
| *** Taxman2 is now known as Taxman | |
| <Taxman> baah, anybody awake, my pccard not loading is that hard to help with is it? | |
| <unikon> can anyone help me i cannot access my applications on the lower left | |
| <JKnife> explain? | |
| <unikon> what is the fix for this | |
| <unikon> im not able to pull up the menu whatsoever | |
| <JKnife> i see | |
| <Taxman> you mean you want the applications menu that is on the upper left to be moved to the lower left? | |
| <JKnife> i dont see | |
| <JKnife> i see pink cows with purple dots | |
| <unikon> no | |
| <unikon> i cannot access the applications menu whatsoever | |
| <JKnife> or no menu pops up after you tried editing it? | |
| <JKnife> i think he tried editing it with out patching the bug first | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> To fix the menu, just replace ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml with /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml. | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> Unless it's broken in some new, unusual way you haven't described yet. | |
| <JKnife> hehe wrong button | |
| <JKnife> do alt+f2 and then "rm ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml" | |
| <unikon> ill look into that pumpernickle | |
| <unikon> btw is there a website that explains this issue | |
| <JKnife> what issue? no menu? | |
| <JKnife> how many people are upgrading right now? | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> Upgrading what? | |
| <JKnife> oh i don't know.. maybe anything from the official repo? | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> Not me. Why do you ask? | |
| <JKnife> 20-40k | |
| <JKnife> sec | |
| <JKnife> i NORMALLY get 200k+ | |
| <JKnife> ok back upto 180 | |

| <esc> hay anyone gotten dvd::rip to work in (xubuntu) | |
| <bdgraue> can anyone write/rewrite dvd's without k3b and cdrecord_in_terminal in xubuntu? | |
| <esc> i think | |
| <esc> you may want to look at graveman | |
| <esc> i think that does writing stuff | |
| <esc> bdgraue, are you looking for an alternative to k3b? | |
| <bdgraue> esc, xfburn cant write dvd's, thats my problem | |
| <esc> xfburn is xfce's cd burner app? | |
| <esc> yeah | |
| <esc> try graveman | |
| <bdgraue> esc, im on the way to try | |
| <esc> synaptic says it can do that, and let me know how it goes. | |
| <bdgraue> esc, installed and in testmode now, blank my dvd-rw | |
| <esc> bdgraue, are you into ripping dvds? | |
| <bdgraue> esc, no | |
| <esc> ok | |
| <gbrent> i reconfigured x from the command line and rebooted. now I can hear the login screen prompt for the password but my monitor is stuck in power saving mode. I can log in fine but I cant see. Any ideas on how to get my monitor off power saving mode w/o being able to see anything? | |
| <bdgraue> esc, i have no experience in ripping dvds | |
| <esc> neither do i | |
| <esc> i'm trying to figure it out today | |
| <bdgraue> ec, which program can i use for ripping? | |
| <esc> lol | |
| <ormiret> gbrent: tried going to a different virtual terminal (ctr-alt-f key)? | |
| <gbrent> ahh good idea | |
| <esc> thats a bit of a mission for xubuntu | |
| <esc> have you ever compiled stuff from source? | |
| <gbrent> ormiret... great idea, it worked | |
| <gbrent> :) lol | |
| <esc> there is a tool called dvd::rip | |
| <esc> but its a bit of a hazard to install | |
| <esc> try checking synaptic for alternatives | |
| <esc> think i saw something there | |
| <ormiret> gbrent: excellent. | |
| <esc> bdgraue, its called drip | |
| <esc> but its probably kinda basic | |
| <esc> depends what kind of format you want to transcode to | |
| <esc> though i still know very little about these things | |
| <ormiret> esc: have you tried vlc's save to file stuff? | |
| <esc> no | |
| <esc> is that any good? | |
| <esc> apparently dvd::rip is supposed to be the thing to use | |
| <ormiret> I've never used dvd::rip. vlc's outputs are nice and easy to use (was actually streaming that I've been playing with) | |
| <esc> where is the damned setting for number of virtual desktops again | |
| <esc> drip, which i installed with aptitude , is telling me to recompile libdvdread, wtf | |
| <bdgraue> esc, ->settings ->workspaces settings | |
| <bdgraue> esc: graveman can blank a dvd-rw, but can't burn dvd-iso^^ | |
| <esc> bummer | |
| <esc> tha sux | |
| <bdgraue> esc: for burning the dvd-iso i use gnomebaker now | |
| <esc> ok | |
| <bdgraue> esc: but gnomebaker can't blank a dvd-rw i think | |
| <bdgraue> ... | |
| <esc> well | |
| <esc> two tools for two tasks | |
| <esc> gotta be pragmatic ;) | |
| <esc> must the be the linux philosophy, of one tool per task.. *g* | |
| <ormiret> esc: I was just about to say that ;) | |
| <esc> i've been trying to compile a required app for dvd::rip for the last hour or so | |
| <ormiret> ouch. | |
| <ormiret> what is it? | |
| <esc> transcode | |
| <esc> thats the one that does most of the work | |
| <ormiret> why do you need to compile it? | |
| <esc> i couldn't find it in the repo | |
| <ormiret> it's in multiverse | |
| <esc> really | |
| <ormiret> (or at least my machine thinks it is) | |
| <ormiret> http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/x11/transcode | |
| <esc> yeah | |
| <esc> i just noticed | |
| <esc> the multiverse isn't in my sources.list | |
| <esc> wtf | |
| <esc> its compiled fine now though | |
| <esc> argh | |
| <ormiret> well at least the hour will remind why apt is good :) | |
| <esc> whats your entry for the multiverse in sources.list | |
| <esc> maybe dvdrip is in there too | |
| <ormiret> deb http://sg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse | |
| <ormiret> but you could do without the sg. | |
| <ormiret> dvdrip is there | |
| <esc> yeah dling it now | |
| <esc> and cleaning up | |
| <esc> ;-) | |
| <esc> hmmm, but thx | |
| <esc> i woulda still had to compile that too | |
| <esc> i guess its half the way saved | |
| <esc> oh well | |
| <morphix> how do we install a printer in xfce? | |
| <ormiret> the cups web interface (localhost:631) or install gnome-cups-manager are the easiest way | |
| <ormiret> (I think) | |
| <morphix> is the cups web interface installed default? | |
| <ormiret> installed but disabled (assuming you have cupsys installed) | |
| <ormiret> You should get up a page pointing to /usr/share/doc/cupsys/README.Debian.gz for instructions on enabling it | |
| <esc> i better nice | |
| <esc> dvdrip next time, my x is almost frozen | |
| <ormiret> renice? | |
| <esc> oups | |
| <esc> seems to be ok again | |
| <esc> but would nice, also nice the progs it starts? | |
| <ormiret> yeah, nice starts programs with the specified nice value, renice changes the nice value for existing processes | |
| <esc> ok | |
| <esc> thats nice ;-) | |
| <esc> a command a day.... | |
| <ormiret> :) | |
| <esc> i can get dvd::rip to nice the programs it runs for ripping, so that should be ok, just might take longer | |
| <TEN> How do I set a simple font for X consoles (e.g. as from fvwm2 defaults in http://vdr-portal.de/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=1164, or even a bitmap one) on Xubuntu, rather than the default vector fonts needing antialiasing and wasting a lot of "screen real estate" on lower-resolution LCDs? | |
| <esc> ormiret, do you know of a command line move that shows the progress, like wget does? | |
| <ormiret> no, that's something that I've had at the back of my mind as wanting for a while (cp too) | |
| <esc> UM | |
| <esc> can u code? | |
| <ormiret> yes... | |
| <esc> well, then lets do it | |
| <esc> but first it would be good to figure out if anyone has written it already | |
| <esc> cause i bet loads of people have wanted that | |
| <esc> and most people who use the command line can code too | |
| <esc> so i figure its gotta ba around | |
| <ormiret> yeah, I've always assumed there is a way to do it but have never had the time to go looking when I remember about it | |
| <romana> what are we looking for?:) | |
| <ormiret> cp and mv with a progress bar | |
| <esc> like wget | |
| <romana> hmmmm | |
| <romana> ive never thought about it | |
| <romana> must be around | |
| <romana> you are right | |
| <esc> http://www.aichler.net/fileutils/ | |
| <esc> hmmm | |
| <ormiret> I'll put playing with that on my todo list. | |
| <esc> am compiling it now | |
| <esc> wahay... so i do get to compile something today | |
| <ormiret> deos it aply to the source of coreutils or did you get the source from GNU direct? | |
| <esc> ok, it works | |
| <esc> but not quite too perfect, seems to be a bit of a hack | |
| <esc> the bar shows up even if the move failes | |
| <esc> :-(( | |
| <Tinned_Tuna> heya, can I alter the brightness/contrast in xfmedia? | |
| <Tinned_Tuna> DL.TV looks dark and gray :( | |
| <esc> ormiret, i just got the src from a gnu mirror | |
| <morphix> hi. i was trying to make it so when i right click on the desktop it showed the applications/settings menu's instead of showing create new folder, etc. Except now the system cant even be used | |
| <morphix> how can i 'reset' xfce back to defaults? | |
| <esc> hmmm, thinking | |
| <esc> i doubt doing a reinstall would solve your problem | |
| <ormiret> rm -r ~/.config/xfce4 | |
| <morphix> i removed the whole .config folder | |
| <morphix> does no good | |
| <esc> restart X | |
| <esc> ? | |
| <morphix> hmm. | |
| <esc> ctrl-alt-backspace | |
| <romana> did you try removing .xfce folder tho? | |
| <morphix> there is no .xfce folder | |
| <morphix> the only folder in home folder which contained stuff for xfce was .config | |
| <romana> ok | |
| <romana> id restart x myself | |
| <esc> have you tried restarting X? morphix | |
| <morphix> apart from this.. do u guys know how to make it so when i right click on the desktop, it shows the apps menu, etc rather than create folder, etc ?? | |
| <morphix> i have done it before.. but forgot | |
| <esc> it does that by default here | |
| <morphix> esc: well its not exactly on my pc.. on a friends | |
| <TEN> Xubuntu LTS 6.06.1 seems to try&autodetect the screen (probably TFT) - however this fails when a TFT is behind a KVM switch, making the display a useless 640*480 (or something similar) on reboot. Settings/Display Settings only showing Default in this case, how to I either get a full list of modes there, or prevent this auto-detection? | |
| <TEN> DDC that is, of course | |
| <morphix> i told my friend what to do.. and he seemed to have messed it up | |
| <ormiret> morphix: "show desktop menu on right click" in the Behaviour tab of the Desktop Preferences | |
| <morphix> its set to that.. but he reckons it still just shows the create folder , etc | |
| * morphix shrugs | |
| <ormiret> has he run nautilus? | |
| <esc> bit of remote remote debugging going on here | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> TEN: Reconfigure xorg manually so that it includes the right resolutions / refresh rates. | |
| <morphix> he is switching between gnome and xfce atm becauce xfce is playing up | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> morphix: That could be the issue. Xfce has to be managing the desktop for that feature to work, not Gnome. | |
| <morphix> seems to have fixed up now. | |
| <morphix> for now | |
| <morphix> until he breaks it again | |
| <ormiret> :) | |
| <TEN> PuMpErNiCkLe Thanx. Any pointers where to enforce this as a global setting (never mind whether GUI or console) | |
| <esc> yuck, i hate segmentation faults | |
| <TEN> Another thing that made me wonder in the rather minimal GUI menu: How do I set a simple font for X consoles (e.g. as from fvwm2 defaults in http://vdr-portal.de/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=11646, or even a bitmap one) on Xubuntu, rather than the default vector fonts needing antialiasing and wasting a lot of "screen real estate" on lower-resolution LCDs? | |
| <ormiret> xterm fonts can be specified as an argument when you start the xterm or in .Xresources | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> TEN: For the console, the easiest thing to do is use the vmode parameter on boot. That won't carry over to X, though, so you'll need equivalent settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. | |
| <TEN> Thanks, I'll have a look at these files. | |

| <TEN> I find commenting out all modes below 1024*768 from /etc/X11/xorg.conf won't stop Xubuntu from starting in a lower resolution anyway when it can't (DDC) detect the monitor behind a KVM switch. How do I prevent this, i.e. make sure a fixed resolution of 1024*768*24/32 is used? And how do I enforce the same right from kernel boot (couldn't figure out a vmode yet, though the live CD has one for 1024*768*32) ? | |

| <Sakireth> Hey, guys. After a lot of wondering about which desktop environment to choose (Currently on GNOME now. but i miss something. I miss the extreme configurability and speed of Openbox and Fluxbox.). Now I was thinking, of XFCE, because that provides the graphicalness I need and is speedy at the same time. So, i guess i'm going to switch to Xubuntu. I just want it to go flawlessly. I don't want the install to ruin anything. How? | |
| <pleia2> Sakireth: just apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, it'll add xfce4 to your login screen, shouldn't mess up anything | |
| <Sakireth> is aptitude okay, too? | |
| <pleia2> yep | |
| <pleia2> and probably the proper way :) | |
| <Sakireth> how is it? | |
| <Sakireth> how is aptitude so good? xP | |
| <josesito> how do i delete a symbolic link pointing to a folder (not a file) which i accidentaly created... | |
| <josesito> pls? | |
| <Sakireth> I think i'm going to like xubuntu | |
| <Sakireth> better support, too xP | |
| <Sakireth> should I reboot now? | |
| <pleia2> Sakireth: you shouldn't have to, just log out of gnome and xfce will be in the login screen | |
| <Sakireth> alright | |
| <Sakireth> hi | |
| <Sakireth> again* | |
| <sonora84> hi | |
| <josesito> how do i delete a symbolic link pointing to a folder (not a file) which i accidentaly created...does someone know?? | |
| <josesito> i get this error: There was an error deleting "Documentos": | |
| <josesito> Too many levels of symbolic links | |
| <HeathenDan> what's a 'symbolic' link? | |
| <Sakireth> how did Ubuntu manage to widen the panel? | |
| <HeathenDan> what do you mean widen the panel? you mean stretch it out in full? | |
| <sonora84> right click on the panel then panel personalising | |
| <Sakireth> Ah. | |
| <Sakireth> then "Grow"? | |
| <josesito> HeathenDan, a symbolic link is like a shortcut to a file, it's like a command that points to the actual place of the file | |
| <josesito> the problem is that i made a SL to a whole folder...and now it doesn't let me delete it | |
| <sonora84> i don' know what is the command, because i've got xubuntu and in italian | |
| <josesito> xD | |
| <HeathenDan> i don't really know how to create symbolic links so i dunno how to delete them | |
| <HeathenDan> never encountered the beast | |
| <sonora84> bye-bye | |
| <josesito> HeathenDan, ok thanks anyway | |
| <pleia2> josesito: just rm symlinkname (no trailing /) | |
| <josesito> heh pleia2 that worked | |
| <josesito> thanks | |
| <pleia2> np | |
| <soon> If I want to switch from kubuntu to xubuntu .... what is the best / easiest way to do this? | |
| <josesito> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | |
| <josesito> i believe | |
| <soon> as easy as that eh? | |
| <HeathenDan> reformat > install xubuntu | |
| <josesito> soon, yes | |
| <HeathenDan> a clean install is best | |
| <josesito> that won't destroy your actual settings | |
| <josesito> but HeathenDan is right | |
| <josesito> clean installs are always better | |
| <HeathenDan> too many cluttered libs and shortcuts | |

| <Linuturk> should | |
| <jester45> i looked in the package manger but there are many diffrent ones and i cant choose | |
| <Linuturk> I know the wine info is there | |
| <Linuturk> search the forums for java info | |

| <Linuturk> well, just like windows, you've got to learn to use it | |

| <qoqosz> Hi, when I log in into my xubuntu I can't see icons and wallpaper, to change it I have to type: $ xfdesktop &, but it shouldn't work like that. How to change it? | |
| <JKnife> open up the run dlg | |
| <JKnife> and run xfdesktop | |
| <JKnife> log out and do save session | |
| <qoqosz> JKnife: run dlg? what's that? | |
| <JKnife> alt+f2 | |
| <qoqosz> Ok, I'll try | |
| <qoqosz> I had to add /usr/bin/xfdesktop & to autostarted applications :/ | |
| <JKnife> :? saving session SHOULD have done it | |
| <qoqosz> JKnife: No, I haven't do ne it | |
| <qoqosz> s/I/it | |
| <qoqosz> JKnife: I tried with auto saving session on logout and manually checking wheater to save session or not and it has no result. | |
| * JKnife shrugs | |
| * ephemeros you! \m/ | |

| <JKnife> must not have been that important | |
| <Lobster> i din't like the K in his nick anyway | |
| <Lobster> :D | |

| <jester45> lol if they knew people are not sitting waiting for someone to help them | |
| <jester45> sitting to help someone* | |
| <rmd> xarchiver doesn't handle .rar? | |
| <JKnife> WinRAR handles .rar | |
| <JKnife> and .r00 | |
| <JKnife> well | |
| <JKnife> .r## | |
| <rmd> hmm | |
| <rmd> well i don't use windows | |
| * JKnife hands rmd something called 'wine' | |
| <rmd> and xarchiver is supposed to handle rar, according to the profile in synaptic | |
| <JKnife> do you have unrar installed? | |
| <rmd> doesn't wine require an installation of windows? | |
| <JKnife> nope | |
| <rmd> yes i have unrar installed | |
| <rmd> well | |
| <rmd> unrar-free | |
| <JKnife> same thing | |
| <rmd> xarchiver just isn't halding the rar | |
| <rmd> says it cant launch the child process | |
| <rmd> handling* | |
| * rmd hrms | |
| <JKnife> that means you need to reinstall Xubuntu and start over | |
| <Lobster> rmd there is a prog called xarchive wich should be able to handle rars | |
| <Lobster> but for a unknown reason it doesn't work for me yet :( | |
| <rmd> Lobster: really? i've never heard of it. how fantastic. | |
| <Lobster> apt-get install xarchive rar | |
| <rmd> hmm | |
| <rmd> well unraring from console doesn't work either. it fails but doesnt say why | |
| <Lobster> its a gui for those commandline-rar and ace and whatever packers... | |
| <Lobster> may the archive is passwordprotectet... | |
| <Lobster> isn't there a verbose mode | |
| <rmd> im going to download the file from a different server and see what happens | |
| * rmd ponders wine | |
| <rmd> i can't think of any reason to use it | |
| <rmd> except to run streets and trips under linux | |
| <slow-motion> n8 | |
| <JKnife> and internet explorer | |
| <JKnife> =P | |
| <rmd> i'd rather use maxthon | |
| <rmd> i actually prefer maxthon to firefox | |
| * JKnife prefers opera.. | |
| <JKnife> only if it was opensource | |
| <rmd> i havent used opera in ages | |
| <rmd> i got tired of the banners | |
| <JKnife> =) they removed them | |
| <rmd> perhaps i'll check it out again | |
| <rmd> as soon as i get this damn rar to open up | |
| <rmd> xarchive doesn't work either. no rar-wrap.sh | |
| <Lobster> that was my problem too... | |
| <rmd> which is odd | |
| <rmd> concidering the file is installed | |
| <Lobster> and using rar in the commandline doesn't work? | |
| <JKnife> try `sudo updatedb && slocate rar-wrap.sh` | |
| <rmd> well | |
| <rmd> actually the problem isnt the sh | |
| <rmd> its that the sh doesn have the program it needs | |
| <JKnife> what program does it need? | |
| <rmd> unrar | |
| <rmd> just edit the .sh file | |
| <rmd> to use unrar-free | |
| <JKnife> yeah | |
| <JKnife> or make a symlink from unrar-free to unrar | |
| <rmd> year | |
| <rmd> just wont be able to rar anything | |
| <rmd> hah | |
| <rmd> after all that | |
| <rmd> the damn thing still doesn't work | |
| <rmd> no files listed | |
| <JKnife> =? | |
| <rmd> i dont know what's wrong | |
| <JKnife> did you check the files intergity? | |
| <Lobster> is file-roller able to unpack rars? | |
| <Lobster> wgy don't you use unrar anyway? | |
| <Lobster> whats unrar-free? | |
| <rmd> i'll give you three guesses as to the difference | |
| <rmd> no one maintaining an opera .deb? | |
| * rmd sees about installing internet explorer for wine | |
| * rmd changes his mind and starts reading mono docs | |
| <Tinned_Tuna> Hi, in XUbuntu, I could mount a SSH directory on my desktop, can I do the same in XUbuntu? | |
| <Tinned_Tuna> sorry, it's in Ubuntu that I can mount a SSH Dir on my desktop | |
| <Lobster> n8 | |
| <wheels3572> Can anyone help me with a blank screen when I load into Xubuntu? | |
| <scuzzo> hello | |
| <Tinned_Tuna> hi. | |
| <scuzzo> Im having a big problem with my linksys wpc11 version 3 card and its really ticking me off because it even says its supported out of the box on the wiki page | |
| <scuzzo> the card isnt even showing up on ls pci | |
| <scuzzo> lspci | |
| <scuzzo> anyone here?... | |
| <rmd> yuh | |
| <rmd> have you tried #Ubuntu? | |
| <scuzzo> not yet, I am using xubuntu so I came here | |
| <rmd> #Ubuntu has more people in it. Even if you're using XUbuntu, there's a pretty good chance someone with more hardware experience will be there | |
| <scuzzo> rmd: that channel is a joke | |
| <scuzzo> its full of kids asking stupid questions | |
| <scuzzo> back to freebsd...... | |
| <p0w4h> yer... #ubuntu is filled with windows users who are to laizy to rtfm | |
| <unikon> at leasts its not anal like #debian | |
| <Caraibes> Hi friends ! | |
| <Caraibes> I was wondering about the LinNeighborhood usage in Xubuntu | |
| <Caraibes> I installed it | |
| <Caraibes> to browse windows PC's in the same network | |
| <unikon> quote from the #debian channel (16:46:51) stoned: at least its still better than the Ubuntards | |
| <Caraibes> but it said smbmnt was not there.... | |
| <Caraibes> in a few words, I would like to find a way to browse PC's in the network, either WIndows or Linuxes boxes... | |
| <p0w4h> Caraibes: maybe try samba, worked fine for me | |
| <Caraibes> I am not an expert, would you know where can I learn more on the web ? | |
| <Andrew67> anyone any idea how to print remotely? xubuntu guest/kubuntu host | |
| <Andrew67> driving me crazy | |
| <sensei> cups | |
| * somerville32 is back. | |
| <Jamminpotato> how can i choose wheter linux uses my onboard sound or my soundcard? | |
| <somerville32> You just set it to that card in the control panel | |
| <bb|Gishnob> hey | |
| <bb|Gishnob> has any one tried installing gentoo? | |
| <Jamminpotato> what control panel? | |
| <Jamminpotato> bb|Gishnob, why are you asking that in the xubuntu channel | |
| <somerville32> You can most likely disable your onboard card if you want to via your BIOS | |
| <bb|Gishnob> im curious | |
| <bb|Gishnob> :o | |
| <somerville32> Gishnob: I haven't | |
| <bb|Gishnob> gentoo has the worst installer ever | |
| <Jamminpotato> somerville32, which control panel do you talk about | |
| <bb|Gishnob> holy crap | |
| <somerville32> lol | |
| <somerville32> Look in your menu :P | |
| <somerville32> Under settings | |
| <Jamminpotato> i dont see it man | |
| <somerville32> Settings manager | |
| <Jamminpotato> yea | |
| <Jamminpotato> and sound | |
| <Jamminpotato> and i just choose it there | |
| <somerville32> Or just click mixer settigns | |
| <somerville32> I believe so. | |
| <Jamminpotato> i dont think it works like that | |
| <somerville32> It should | |
| <jah_raztah> is xfce 4.4 rc1 being built for xubuntu now? and how soon will be added to the repositories? | |
| <Jamminpotato> idk | |
| <Jamminpotato> good question | |
| <Jamminpotato> i wonder what version xubuntu 6.10 wil use | |
| <jah_raztah> by that time i hope xfce rc 2 or the final release is out | |
| <jah_raztah> by rc 2 i think xfce will be quite stable and usuable with all the new features added |
