| <bigfuzzyjesus> helo | |
| <bigfuzzyjesus> hello | |
| <bigfuzzyjesus> what do you think the easiest way to remote connect to a computer on my network would be, it would also need to be windows capable for accessing | |
| <Jester45> ssh | |
| <Jester45> !ssh | |
| <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | |
| <Jester45> its only cli i think | |
| <bigfuzzyjesus> ok | |
| <bigfuzzyjesus> is that command line interface | |
| <bigfuzzyjesus> i want it to be graphical :( | |
| <Jester45> !VCN | |
| <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about VCN - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | |
| <Jester45> !VNC | |
| <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | |
| <Jester45> the error is /etc/gdmPreSession/Default: Registering your session wih wtmp utmp | |

| <badbrainz> I cant paste a Fluxbox style I downloaded to /usr/shar/fluxbox/styles I can copy & paste to home folder only. I'm running Xubuntu Edgy 64-bit. Do I need to login as root or something? | |
| <Jester45> what are you pasting | |
| <Jester45> you need to be root but you dont have to login as root | |
| <Jester45> try gksu Thunar | |
| <badbrainz> I'm pasting a fluxbox style, as root but it didnt work. | |
| <badbrainz> I was using Thunar | |
| <Jester45> i dont know | |
| <badbrainz> what is gksu? | |
| <ormiret> !sudo | badbrainz | |
| <ubotu> badbrainz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | |
| <Jester45> i need help with xgl | |
| <Jester45> the session crashes with 3 font errors and 1 exec: 5: xfcesession: not found | |
| <ormiret> Jester45: it should be looking for xfce4-session I think (never used xgl) | |
| <Jester45> ooops | |
| <Jester45> typo | |
| <Jester45> it is xfce-session | |
| <Jester45> o | |
| <Jester45> with a 4 | |
| <Jester45> ok its working now | |
| <Jester45> would you happen to know hwo to use it | |
| <cellofellow> use what? | |
| <Jester45> beryl | |
| <cellofellow> nope | |
| <cellofellow> ok, abiword sucks. It doesn't even do headers. | |
| <Jester45> mousepad it | |
| <cellofellow> It's a document I made in OpenOffice on Edgy. | |
| <cellofellow> Right now I'm in Feisty, and I haven't installed OOo yet, and don't intend to | |
| <cellofellow> there, I do Insert Header, and it crashes | |
| <cellofellow> well, I'm gonna reboot into edgy. BRB | |
| <Jester45> when i open any window with xgl my system locks up anyone know why? | |
| <magic_ninja> anyone play diablo ii | |
| <Jester45> i used to | |
| <Jester45> untill a rcent patch made it hard to get stone of jordans | |
| <Jester45> why? | |
| <magic_ninja> trying to find a working mh, i used to have one | |
| <Jester45> google mousepad | |
| <magic_ninja> not wise | |
| <magic_ninja> could loose your cd key doing that | |
| <Jester45> not the newversion | |
| * Jester45 has 3 | |
| <somerville32> Can you guys take this to offtopic? Thanks. | |
| <Jester45> never | |
| <Jester45> somerville32: do you use beryl | |
| <somerville32> Nope/ | |
| <somerville32> *Nope. | |
| <Jester45> darn | |
| <Jester45> brb gonna try it again | |
| <Jester45> i got xgl to wkor but somthing it messed up | |
| * Jester45 has beryl AND xgl working | |
| * Jester45 still dosent know what to do now | |
| <somerville32> :] | |
| <semi-fly> :) | |
| <semi-fly> I avoid Beryal / xgl / compiz... | |
| <somerville32> The built-in compositor for Xfce4 is good enough for me :) | |
| <semi-fly> Nice looking effects, however. | |
| <Jester45> yep | |
| <Jester45> but... i dont know how to use them | |
| <semi-fly> I second that, sommerville32 :) | |
| <Jester45> semi-fly: you use beryl b4? | |
| <semi-fly> Yep...and compiz, as well. | |
| <Jester45> could you help me with it | |
| <semi-fly> Mostly to see how efficient the rendering was. | |
| <Jester45> how do it get it to do stuff | |
| <somerville32> #ubuntu-xgl is a good place to check, Jester45, if you can't find help here | |
| <Jester45> nobody there | |
| <semi-fly> Well, do you have a specific problem, or does the application simply not work? | |
| <Jester45> im not sure if it working or not | |
| <Jester45> its no doing anything | |
| <Jester45> how do i try to get things ot change? like bending things | |
| <somerville32> !xgl | jester45 | |
| <ubotu> jester45: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-xgl - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems | |
| <semi-fly> Yep - you'd notice a difference right off the bat... | |
| <Jester45> yes | |
| <semi-fly> It can be tricky to get working properly, and I've personally corrupted gtk configuration settings by enabling it, so i'd use it with caution :) | |
| <Jester45> semi-fly: im not trying to do anything fancy just to use any effect | |
| <semi-fly> Did the Beryl menu load onto the bar? | |
| <Jester45> whats modifer keys | |
| <Jester45> yes | |
| <bigfuzzyjesus> has anyone seen the ivue case for the ipod | |
| <Jester45> nope | |
| <semi-fly> Oh, you probably have Xfce4...I've only installed Beryl under Gnome...lol :) | |
| <Jester45> yes i do | |
| <Jester45> on the modifer keys there is a "super" whats that? | |
| <bigfuzzyjesus> !botnet | |
| <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about botnet - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | |
| <semi-fly> Try locating the Beryl binary - if I remember correctly, you can run the Beryl menu tool from the command prompt. | |
| <semi-fly> try 'beryl' then tab completion - see what the prompt displays :) | |
| <Jester45> you mean the beryl menu thing | |
| <Jester45> red dimond? | |
| <Jester45> i have that | |
| <semi-fly> Should be loaded then... | |
| <semi-fly> Just select some options and enable them...I've only used Beryl once, so it's hard to remember all the options lol | |
| <Jester45> ok when i change the wm from xfce to beryl my system locks up | |
| <Jester45> nothing happens all i can do is move the mouse | |
| <semi-fly> Well, you'r still using Xfce4 - Beryl simply runs on top of the WM, so to speak ( I think ). | |
| <Jester45> well on the settings manger there is a list of wm and when things work its fce but then when i switch it stop evrything | |
| <Jester45> and when fce is the wm no effects happen | |
| <semi-fly> You might want to re-emerge, er I mean reinstall Beryl then check out: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu | |
| <semi-fly> Read up on this: http://m0n5t3r.info/blog/aiglx-beryl-xfce-gentoo.html has some tips for getting Xfce4 working with Beryl. | |
| <Jester45> ok | |
| <Jester45> aaa | |
| <Jester45> i cant wait till spring | |
| <Jester45> i get new computer :) nvidia sli core duo and 2 gb ram to start then gonna upgraDE TO 4GB | |
| <somerville32> :) | |
| <bigfuzzyjesus> Jester45, is 4gb of ram really neccisary | |
| <Jester45> yeps | |
| <Jester45> im going to keep windows on it | |
| <Jester45> better gaming | |
| <Jester45> its gonna have linux also | |
| <Jester45> dont know about sli and linux but im going to get it to work | |
| <bigfuzzyjesus> i thought like 2 gigs was a large amount | |
| * Jester45 has allmost 2 | |
| <Jester45> its 1967 | |
| * bigfuzzyjesus has 256 on this one, 512 on his normal linux box and 1 gig on his winblows machine | |
| * Jester45 is using 1800ish | |
| <bigfuzzyjesus> what all do you have open | |
| <bigfuzzyjesus> i can surf the web listen to music chat and something else on my 512 machine | |
| <Jester45> azureus firefox gtk gnutella a few thunars | |
| <Jester45> movie dvd conversion gaim | |
| <Jester45> and i think action cubve is on somewhere :) | |
| <Jester45> i dont keep my desktop very clean | |
| <Jester45> azureus is using most of it | |
| <cellofellow> I can try and try to fill my RAM, run OpenOffice and Eclipse and mutliple Firefox windows and I still can't max out my 319MB RAM. Swap is alway less than 100MB, and I have 1GB swap. | |
| <Jester45> i have 300 | |
| <Jester45> o | |
| <Jester45> i have dsl in qemu open also | |
| <Jester45> thats a bit of it also | |
| <cellofellow> ooh. I love doing that. | |
| <Jester45> my workspace is cluttered | |
| <cellofellow> when I installed Feisty with qemu, it only used 128MB RAM, cause that's how much it uses. | |
| <cellofellow> CPU it used like crazy. RAM was negligable. | |
| <cellofellow> 128 max, it used less actually. | |
| <wallacew> How do I disable the password prompt on returning from a screensaver? | |
| <somerville32> Applications > Settings > Settings Manager > Screensaver | |
| <somerville32> Uncheck "Lock screen" or similiar | |
| <wallacew> somerville32, Thanks! | |
| <Jester46> cellofellow: what was the last thing i said to u | |

| <cellofellow> you wanted to send me something, but that was as Jester45. | |
| <Jester45> ok well i did say | |
| <Jester45> that qemu can use more ram if you tell it to | |
| <cellofellow> I know | |
| <cellofellow> I've read the man page, several times. | |
| <Jester45> and the thing i wanna send you is a movie of beryl with flame effect | |

| <cellofellow> shoot then! | |
| <Jester45> waiting | |
| <Jester45> do you know how ot recive? | |
| <cellofellow> yes, do you know how to send it? I think you need to forward a port. | |
| <cellofellow> 14s7 | |
| <cellofellow> 1437 | |
| <Jester45> all my ports are forwarded | |
| <cellofellow> hmmm | |
| <cellofellow> try again | |
| <Jester45> i all ways have this problem | |
| <cellofellow> oh, here's the problem. I've trying to get from 192.168.0.100 instead of your outside address. | |
| <cellofellow> <DCC can't connect to 192.168.1.4 port 2389> | |
| <cellofellow> I can't get to you if you are pretending to be on my internal network. | |
| <Jester45> hehe | |
| <cellofellow> why is it acting that way? | |
| <Jester45> im sneaky :) | |
| <Jester45> im on your LAN cellofellow better check your house b4 you go to bed | |
| <cellofellow> haha very funny. | |
| <Jester45> Boo | |
| <kalikiana> Does anybody know if I can keep my nick on a reconnect in XChat? | |
| <Jester45> should | |
| <mynameisdeleted> hi | |
| <Jester45> hi | |
| <mynameisdeleted> hi hi | |
| <mynameisdeleted> anyone want to test my xubuntu mirror? | |
| <Jester45> sure | |
| <mynameisdeleted> http://okser.net/xubuntu | |
| <mynameisdeleted> download an iso and see how much bandwidth you can use | |
| <Jester45> what im i testing | |
| <mynameisdeleted> its technically got a gigabit connection, so if its not loaded down there shouldn't be any way you can notice speed | |
| <Jester45> 53KB/s | |
| <Jester45> 10 now | |
| <Jester45> i think im uploading somthing | |
| <mynameisdeleted> you must be on dialup | |
| <kalikiana> i get 220kb :) | |
| <kalikiana> (but i won't do a complete load now) | |
| <mynameisdeleted> doesn't anyone have at least 100mbps to test with? | |
| <Jester45> lol | |
| <kalikiana> :P | |
| <Jester45> im uploading somthing so im stuck low | |
| <Jester45> the max is get is 150kb/s | |
| <kalikiana> I'm on 240kb/s | |

| <mynameisdeleted> that's on my schools connection | |
| <mynameisdeleted> was over 11MB/s for a while | |
| <Jester45> cookage | |
| <mynameisdeleted> if it writes to anythign other than /dev/null the hd slows the download speed | |
| <mynameisdeleted> and a good test would be at least gigabit internet | |
| <mynameisdeleted> which is almost impossible to find | |
| <kalikiana> i get 250,50 kb/s for dev/null :D | |
| <mynameisdeleted> on my schooll I can download a full linux iso that is 579MB in 50 seconds flat | |
| <cellofellow> whoa | |
| <mynameisdeleted> I don't think any of the ubuntu mirrors support that now | |
| <mynameisdeleted> but mine might change if it gets loaded | |
| <mynameisdeleted> this makes most of your bandwidth not show up on my meter | |
| <mynameisdeleted> tilll it scrolls off the charge | |
| <mynameisdeleted> chart | |
| <Jester45> i did have a 1gb/s free file host | |
| <Jester45> lost the name | |
| <Jester45> they supported torrents also | |
| <mynameisdeleted> I work for a hosting company | |
| <mynameisdeleted> in a datacenter | |
| <mynameisdeleted> and am using a computer from a former customer who didn't pay his internet bills | |
| <mynameisdeleted> for several months and wend bankrupt | |
| <Jester45> do you have ftp? | |
| <Jester45> i could test that | |
| <mynameisdeleted> if I installed that | |
| <mynameisdeleted> I haven't yet | |
| <mynameisdeleted> it runs regular ubuntu but without X | |
| <mynameisdeleted> therefor not xubuntu | |
| <Jester45> im sorry | |
| <mynameisdeleted> ftp bandwidth won't be any different than http sincce they both use tcp/ip | |
| <mynameisdeleted> you have a recommended ftp server? | |
| <Jester45> nope | |
| <Jester45> but i have a way to test your speed with ftp | |
| <Jester45> you should see torrents dl at 30mbs | |
| <Jester45> very bad for ratio :( | |
| <mynameisdeleted> if you leave them up overnight you make the upload back normally | |
| <Jester45> but its hard to get that many people to dl that much | |
| <Jester45> i use that on torrents with like 11k seeds | |
| <Jester45> the few | |
| <mynameisdeleted> ftp://okser.net | |
| <Jester45> ok | |
| <cellofellow> Jester45: what'd you use to get that burning windows video? | |
| <mynameisdeleted> beryl has a plugin for that | |
| <Jester45> i used the amazing google | |
| <Jester45> thats what it is | |
| <cellofellow> what program? or does google have a screencapture program? | |
| <Jester45> http://69.179.135.241/apache2-default/XGLBerylburneffect.avi | |
| <Jester45> it wasnt me | |
| <Jester45> silly cellofellow | |
| <cellofellow> Oh. I tought you were showing me that cause you were happy you got Beryl working. | |
| <cellofellow> You've been trying all week. | |
| <Jester45> nope | |
| <mynameisdeleted> I have beryl working | |
| <Jester45> still breaks my computer | |
| <Jester45> brb | |
| <mynameisdeleted> it will work much bbetter with my new computer | |
| <mynameisdeleted> with a 256MB graphics card instead of one with only 8MB video memroy | |
| <cellofellow> beryl wouldn't start here. That's when I quit. I have PIII Katmai and a TNT2 with 32MB Vid Memory. Didn't work too well. | |
| <mynameisdeleted> video memory is only a n issue if I have more than 10 windws open or du full window burns | |
| <mynameisdeleted> menu burns are fine | |
| <cellofellow> I often have like 3 windows per workspace open, at least, and 4 workspaces. | |
| <mynameisdeleted> any "vista ready" computer should be able to run beryl nicely if set up right | |
| <mynameisdeleted> I think | |
| <mynameisdeleted> with proper 3d drivers | |
| <cellofellow> nvidia cards then all the way. | |
| <Jester45> i have 4 workspaces | |
| <Jester45> but only use 1 | |
| <cellofellow> haha | |
| <Jester45> its an old windows habit | |
| <mynameisdeleted> ftp://okser.net/feisty/herd-2/feisty-desktop-i386.iso | |
| <mynameisdeleted> that's an ftp url to test | |
| <cellofellow> Mine are named Appspace, Netspace, Codespace, and Outerspace. I organized them | |
| <mynameisdeleted> if you have a speed tester for ftp | |
| <Jester45> mine are named 1 2 3 4 | |
| <cellofellow> that's the default. :) | |
| <mynameisdeleted> I like jester45's names better | |
| <Jester45> cellofellow: are you still dl from me? | |
| <cellofellow> yeah | |
| * Jester45 likes the better also | |
| <Jester45> cellofellow: how far? ETA? | |
| <cellofellow> it's at 64% | |
| <cellofellow> no, more than that | |
| <cellofellow> I think | |
| <Jester45> you killing my torrents | |
| <cellofellow> you gave me the link | |
| <Jester45> sill | |
| <Jester45> couldnt you have dail up for somthing | |
| <cellofellow> :/ | |
| <cellofellow> what do you meen? | |
| <Jester45> you dl is to fast | |
| <Jester45> taking all my upload | |
| <cellofellow> it's at 16-18KBps. | |
| <cellofellow> I can do 30KBps when I connect to a faster server. | |
| <Jester45> sorry | |
| <Jester45> im sharing you with gtk-gnutella and azureus | |
| <cellofellow> heh, home servers are always sort of slow. That's why distributed P2P stuff is faster. | |
| <cellofellow> like torrent | |
| <mynameisdeleted> my server is prob faster than p2p | |
| <cellofellow> prolly faster than my DL speed. | |
| <mynameisdeleted> I have cable to my home | |
| <mynameisdeleted> and another server on fios | |
| <cellofellow> I have cheap DSL. | |
| <Jester45> mynameisdeleted: the top speed i got was 39mb/s but that didnt last long | |
| <Jester45> sorry about the delay | |
| <Jester45> still good | |
| <mynameisdeleted> supposedly its way better than that | |
| <Jester45> try a speed test website | |
| <mynameisdeleted> I think its faster than most of those too | |
| <Jester45> well the line i was testing from gets a max of 60mb/s but thats when its the only transfer | |
| <mynameisdeleted> if you know a good one let me know | |
| <Jester45> many ppl are using it so it could be slowed down | |
| <Jester45> google knows | |
| <Jester45> try a google search for "speed test 1gb" | |
| <Jester45> mynameisdeleted: could i get a ftp account with you? | |
| <Jester45> or how about running a repo? | |
| <mynameisdeleted> what type? | |
| <Jester45> ubuntu | |
| <mynameisdeleted> cvs? | |
| <mynameisdeleted> or svn? | |
| <Jester45> i was just kidding about hte repo | |
| <Jester45> deb | |
| <mynameisdeleted> ok | |
| <Jester45> but how about hte ftp | |
| <Jester45> aa | |
| <Jester45> The is the wost word for me to type | |
| <mynameisdeleted> a full ubuntu debian packages mirror takes 190gb | |
| <mynameisdeleted> which is more space than I have on that server | |
| <mynameisdeleted> unless I upgrade | |
| <Jester45> o | |
| <Jester45> well could i have ftp ? it would be nice | |
| <mynameisdeleted> but I have a server with 12 drive slots which if I fill up will be able to do that | |
| <mynameisdeleted> I run an xubuntu mirror on it | |
| <mynameisdeleted> so you can download isos fast | |
| <Jester45> i dont need iso | |
| <mynameisdeleted> true | |
| <mynameisdeleted> biggest download need is faster apt-get | |
| <Jester45> yep | |
| <Jester45> ubuntu should use a free file host | |
| <Jester45> they are fast and the repos would be used often so it wouldnt get deleted | |
| <Jester45> humm | |
| <Jester45> well i have to go | |
| <grumpymole> hello | |

| <hyper__ch> TheSheep: and do you know why I can't access certain admin stuff like networking anymore? | |
| <TheSheep> um, ~/.gnupg | |
| <TheSheep> hyper__ch: it's broken in feisty, they forgot to add gksudo to launchers | |
| <hyper__ch> TheSheep: it's edgy | |
| <TheSheep> :/ | |
| <hyper__ch> TheSheep: I did a reinstall yesterday... but left the /home partition as it was | |
| <hyper__ch> TheSheep: but I still can't access it | |
| <hyper__ch> TheSheep: The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration | |
| <TheSheep> hyper__ch: I've got the same | |
| <TheSheep> hyper__ch: just run them with sudo | |
| <hyper__ch> TheSheep: ok | |
| <TheSheep> ubuntu+1 should be called greedy gnome :3 | |
| <hyper__ch> I guess I'm going to test herd 2 (again) | |
| <hyper__ch> shall I leave the /home partition as it is? Will it alter something? | |
| <TheSheep> should be ok | |
| <hyper__ch> ok :) | |
| <hyper__ch> TheSheep: one more question: I have 3 diskdrives attached to the IDE channels (plus one dvd-rewriter) and one diskdrive is using sata... will that be a problem due to the naming? | |
| <hyper__ch> I think you told me that hda will be renamed to sda | |
| <hyper__ch> so I will have like two sda? | |
| <TheSheep> you will have sda, sdb, sdc, sdd and sde | |
| <TheSheep> probably | |
| <TheSheep> not sure :) | |
| <hyper__ch> lol :) | |
| <hyper__ch> I'll try... they are all of different sizes | |
| <hyper__ch> 60GB, 120 GB, 160 GB, 300 GB | |
| <hyper__ch> bye | |

| <ubotu> Para Español por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrán mas ayuda. | |
| <trectior2> ok sorry | |
| <TheSheep> hyper_ch: change root=hdaX to root=sdaX in grub's config | |
| <hyper_ch> TheSheep: well, grub did then something like: root(hda1,5) | |
| <hyper_ch> that's what I got when I edited the start entry | |
| <TheSheep> (hd1, 5) | |
| <hyper_ch> sorry, it was: root(hd1,5) | |
| <TheSheep> that's ok | |
| <hyper_ch> but what does that mean? what do I have to change it to? | |
| <TheSheep> no | |
| <hyper_ch> where do I then alter something? | |
| <TheSheep> /boot/grub/menu.lst | |
| <hyper_ch> how to access that from a freshly installed fiesty? | |
| <hyper_ch> feisty :) | |
| <hyper_ch> TheSheep: and the isntallation took very long... I got quite a few blue screens where for some time nothing happened | |
| <Ro_Vai> blue screen?? | |
| <hyper_ch> Ro_Vai: during install of Feisty Herd 2... there were long time intervals where nothing was on the screen... just the blue background | |
| <Ro_Vai> did you just upgrade from edgy or use a cd | |
| <Ro_Vai> and what kind of cd | |
| <hyper_ch> Ro_Vai: no upgrade... fresh isntall with alternate xubuntu | |
| <hyper_ch> Text Mode | |
| <hyper_ch> Ro_Vai: why so interested? | |
| <hyper_ch> Ro_Vai: I tested kubuntu feisty herd 1 several weeks ago.... nothing like that happened there (except for the grub problem) | |
| <Ro_Vai> the blue screen coulda just been because things were configuring your video | |
| <hyper_ch> Ro_Vai: they appeared when I tested for cd defects, they appears before probing for hardware, before the partiton menu, ...... all the time | |
| <Ro_Vai> no clue then i just upgraded from edgy no cd ^.^ | |
| <hyper_ch> Ro_Vai: ^^ | |

| <Maximilian1st> hi all | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> hi you | |
| <Maximilian1st> Hi, | |
| <Maximilian1st> I was wondering if one already tried installing the new feisty beta... | |
| <Maximilian1st> I have it hanging here on the sk98lin driver | |
| <Maximilian1st> I know there is a website for logging the problems one could encounter with the beta CD but I can't rememeber where it is... Do you? | |
| <Maximilian1st> oopsy... | |
| <Maximilian1st> Hey somerville32. | |
| <Maximilian1st> You asked me to test the feisty CD. | |
| * somerville32 nods. | |
| <Maximilian1st> I am right now testing it on a laptop and the install hangs at the | |
| <Maximilian1st> sk98lin driver loading or so... | |
| <Maximilian1st> But the overall looks ok. | |
| <Maximilian1st> Should I report this driver hang or is it not something they, or you are looking for. | |
| <somerville32> Are you using the desktop-cd or live-cd? | |
| <Maximilian1st> I can't tell | |
| <somerville32> k, one second | |
| <Maximilian1st> I downloaded the first iso from the page I can't find anymore... | |
| <Maximilian1st> somerville32: I tried installing for the second time now. I'll be away for 15-20 minutes... kid wants a story. | |
| <somerville32> Alrighty :) | |
| <somerville32> Chat with you then | |
| <cellofellow> morning | |
| <Maximilian1st> evening | |
| <cellofellow> different time zones, eh? | |
| <somerville32> afternoon :) \o/ | |
| <Maximilian1st> somerville32: I'm back. Do you know how to see if the installation hangs or what? | |
| <Maximilian1st> Stupid question from me cause it just seems to hang for the second time on the same place as before... | |
| <somerville32> Maximilian1st, 1. Are you using the desktop cd or alternative cd? The desktop cd is the one with the live cd desktop and the alternative is the text-based installer. | |
| <Maximilian1st> ok, desktop. | |
| <cellofellow> alt should work if all else fails. | |
| <somerville32> Maximilian1st, I would report the bug on malone | |
| <somerville32> !bugs | |
| <ubotu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/ - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots | |
| <Maximilian1st> Should I give it special name so you know it is for the "feisty beta live CD"? | |
| <somerville32> Maximilian1st, put [feisty] in the title | |
| <somerville32> Assign it to ubiquity | |
| <somerville32> and give as much info as you can in the description field | |
| <somerville32> Also, if you can, attach logs | |
| <Maximilian1st> I see it is already there. | |
| <cellofellow> I have 3 OS's on my computer. Edgy, Feisty, and DSL in a QEMU image. | |
| <Maximilian1st> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/79340 | |
| <Ubugtu> Malone bug 79340 in ubiquity "Marvell Yukon Ethernet Controller (sk98lin) Hangs Ubiquity" [Undecided,Unconfirmed] | |
| <Maximilian1st> That's it. | |
| <somerville32> Confirm it | |
| <somerville32> Change the status from "Unconfirmed" to "Confirmed" | |
| <Maximilian1st> This is when using the desktop live cd, what about the alternative CD. Is there a way to circumvent the driver loading? | |
| <somerville32> Maximilian1st, I'm sure there is for the alternative cd. | |
| <cellofellow> ooops. I'm back now | |
| <Maximilian1st> Well, now I am stuck with this laptop not working and Xfce releases this week-end and I have plenty to upload! :-/ | |
| <somerville32> Maximilian1st, Did you try the alternative install? | |
| <Maximilian1st> I give the alternative CD a shot. | |
| <somerville32> Maximilian1st, Are you a debian maintainer? | |
| <Maximilian1st> Was just answering that. | |
| <Maximilian1st> Nope a translation committer for Xfce and translator for the french Xfce. | |
| <somerville32> Ah, kk | |
| <somerville32> Do you use launchpad? | |
| <Maximilian1st> For the translations? | |
| <Maximilian1st> If that is your question, I translate directly in SVN. | |
| <somerville32> Ok | |
| <somerville32> You should consider using launchpad, hehe | |
| <Maximilian1st> This is work done two times. The main translations have to be in the new releases, but I already had a thought about helping bring the translations in launchpad up to date... | |
| <Maximilian1st> But for now I have to bring back my desktop to life on this laptop. Please be so kind to remind me of the place I downloaded this beta of feisty, so I can pick the sescond link, alternative... | |
| <Maximilian1st> !herd2 | |
| <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about herd2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | |
| <somerville32> !testing | |
| <ubotu> For information on how to help test the next release of Xubuntu and for the results matrix, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Xubuntu/Current | |
| <somerville32> Maximilian1st, You just import the po* files and then you can export them once you're done translating them | |
| <Maximilian1st> testing that was the key word. Thx. I searched the bot for herd... somerville32 You mean for the launchpad thing? | |
| * somerville32 nods. | |
| <Maximilian1st> As soon as Xfce 4.4 will be out, I'll give a serious check at the launchpad French translations. | |
| * somerville32 nods. | |

| *** ben_ is now known as Terzian | |
| <Terzian> can anyone help with a Xubuntu install? | |
| <somerville32> Sure ; ) | |
| <Terzian> OK, booting from install CD, spash screen comes up for a while then screen blanks with blinking cursor at upper left | |
| <somerville32> Are you using the live cd or alternative cd? | |
| <Terzian> 6.10 desktop cd | |
| <Terzian> is this a live cd as well? | |
| <somerville32> Yup | |
| <somerville32> I'd try using the alternative cd | |
| <Terzian> is there a way to show the console messages instead of the splash screen? | |
| <somerville32> crtl+alt+f6, I think | |
| <somerville32> or one of the function keys | |
| <dosnlinux> not sure if this matters any, but the home page for 6.10 says 6.06 | |
| <Terzian> ok, thanks | |
| <somerville32> dosnlinux, Known issue. Fixed in 7.04 :) | |
| <dosnlinux> ah, ok | |
| <dosnlinux> I had to double check the iso to make sure I downloaded the right version :P | |
| <dosnlinux> although .04 difference probably won't make much of a difference | |
| * dosnlinux fixes the home page | |
| <dosnlinux> much better now ;) | |
| <kalikiana> Does anybody know a tool to optimize an svg image? | |
| <dosnlinux> inkscape | |
| <kalikiana> I said optimize, not created - which I did. :) | |
| <dosnlinux> the gimp to, but to a lesser degree | |
| <kalikiana> I'd for example want to round numbers, but not by hand. :/ | |
| <dosnlinux> oh, how is that done? | |
| <kalikiana> All the coordinates and such are like 66.456344 which is a waste of space. | |
| <dosnlinux> maybe using sed in a bash script? | |
| <dosnlinux> awk might be better | |
| <kalikiana> I'll probably use python then, I'm better at that. :/ | |
| <kalikiana> But I find it strange that there is no tool for that. | |
| <dosnlinux> I'd think your svg tool would have something like that | |
| <dosnlinux> but I usually work with png's ;) | |
| <TheSheep> kalikiana: there is such a tool | |
| <TheSheep> kalikiana: you just need to configure it a little bit | |
| <TheSheep> kalikiana: the tool is called "perl" ;) | |
| <kalikiana> TheSheep: I will neither do perl nor bash. :-o | |
| <TheSheep> kalikiana: why cripple yourself? | |
| <dosnlinux> python should work just fine | |
| <TheSheep> any turing-complee language will -- even Whitespace. It's juts a question of work involved. | |
| <TheSheep> s/ee/ete | |
| <kalikiana> I could even use Shakespeare Programming Language *g | |
| <dosnlinux> lol, first time I heard of that one | |
| <dosnlinux> someone put a lot of work coming up with all those names :P | |
| <kalikiana> it's like asm wrapped in a nice theatre play | |
| <dosnlinux> code is art ;) | |
| <dosnlinux> where's a good place to check out how xubuntu has acpi configured? | |
| <somerville32> !acpi | dosnlinux | |
| <ubotu> acpi: displays information on ACPI devices. In component main, is optional. Version 0.09-1 (edgy), package size 10 kB, installed size 72 kB (Only available for i386 ia64 amd64) | |
| <somerville32> Hrmpg | |
| <somerville32> Thats not what I want | |
| <kalikiana> :P | |
| <crimsun> !acpi-support | |
| <ubotu> acpi-support: a collection of useful events for acpi. In component main, is optional. Version 0.90 (edgy), package size 30 kB, installed size 724 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 ia64) | |
| <dosnlinux> thanks | |
| <Eaglewolf> I'm having some trouble getting the 6.10 installer to boot on my laptop. It's a sony vaio pcg-r505ts. I get to the boot menu, but when I select the start/install option, or the start in safe mode option, it doesn't work there. I think it may be a video driver issue | |
| <somerville32> Eaglewolf, You might try the alternative cd | |
| <Eaglewolf> Yea, I'm downloading it right now | |
| *** DannyBhoy is now known as HeathenDan | |
| <dosnlinux> what's the difference between the desktop cd and alternate? | |
| <TheSheep> dosnlinux: alternate cd has an installer working in text mode, desktop cd is a livecd with a graphical installer | |
| <dosnlinux> ah | |
| <dosnlinux> I saw "choose this if your unsure" and downloaded alternate | |
| <dosnlinux> that was before I realized desktop x86 said the same thing | |
| <Jester45> hello world | |
| <somerville32> Hello Jester45 | |
| <Jester45> how you doing? | |
| <cellofellow> Where's the World that Jester45 is hello-ing? | |
| <Jester45> yep | |
| <cellofellow> where is it? | |
| <Jester45> the Sun | |
| <Jester45> its hot over here | |
| <cellofellow> I have an Edgy DVD that I think I can use for installing LAMP from. Is that a good idea? I'm going to try Drupal. | |
| <Jester45> anyone know of a ftp file host? | |
| <cellofellow> cool. when some of the packages were old on the DVD, it downloaded from the repos. The current ones, from the DVD. | |
| <Eaglewolf> That's nice | |
| <arentoine> Hello all, if I have mounted share drives in /media/ directory, will they show up on my desktop ? | |
| <arentoine> The drives are smbfs mount point from my file server | |
| <Jester45> i dont t hink they will | |
| <Jester45> think* | |
| <arentoine> cause, dvd drive, for example, do | |
| <cellofellow> that's HAL that does that, and since SMBFS isn't hardware, it won't show on the desktop. | |
| <TheSheep> arentoine: you can make a link or launcher though | |
| <cellofellow> I mount my smbfs in ~/mnt, and it doesn't show on desktop. | |
| <cellofellow> yeah | |
| <arentoine> ok, that's why I have to create manual links | |
| <TheSheep> cellofellow: I think the non-xubuntu xfce shows mounts on the desktop :/ | |
| <cellofellow> hmm | |
| <arentoine> I'm not sure, but I think I read something about this on other Ubuntu distro | |
| <cellofellow> Dreamlinux maybe? | |
| * cellofellow has been hearing a lot about bl lately. | |
| <TheSheep> arentoine: normal ubuntu might also show them -- it uses Nautilus | |
| <TheSheep> arentoine: if it doesn't by default, you can enable it in configuration | |
| <kalikiana> there is the new thunar volume manager :) | |
| <TheSheep> kalikiana: is it in repos yet? :3 | |
| <cellofellow> I know KDE can be made to do that. | |
| <kalikiana> http://foo-projects.org/~benny/projects/thunar-volman/index.html | |
| <kalikiana> it's very new | |
| <arentoine> TheSheep : How can enable it in configuration ? | |
| <TheSheep> now that I have this floppy icon on my desktop anyways, I wantthe rest of them too :/ | |
| <TheSheep> arentoine: you can't in xubuntu, in ubuntu you use gconf-editor | |
| <TheSheep> kalikiana: so, now it only lacks a xarchiver-like ftp and smb client :) | |
| <cellofellow> In Feisty I could see an icon labelled fd0, but I didn't use it I don't use floppies much. Floppy's never show on my desktop. | |
| <TheSheep> cellofellow: it shows in feisty now | |
| <cellofellow> I know, I have it installed on hdb. | |
| <cellofellow> But right now I'm using Edgy | |
| <TheSheep> I want an option to enable/disable desktop icons like trash and drives | |
| <arentoine> TheSheep : oh well ... tks | |
| <cellofellow> I'd like it if one could drag icons to the the Trash to unmount and eject like on Mac. | |
| <cellofellow> That's been around on mac's since the beginning of time. | |
| <TheSheep> cellofellow: that's braindamaged :/ | |
| * cellofellow knows. His first computers were macs. | |
| <TheSheep> cellofellow: what if you want to delete all files on the drive? | |
| <Jester45> linacdows the best OS ever | |
| <cellofellow> How so? You would always be able to turn that feature off, it's linux. | |
| <Jester45> linux + mac + windows | |
| <TheSheep> cellofellow: yeah, by compiling my own xfce, like with the desktop icons | |
| <cellofellow> Linacdows? Linux kernel, Windows UI, and Apple apps? | |
| <TheSheep> :E | |
| <cellofellow> XFCE has lots of options. | |
| <cellofellow> who needs to build from source 'cept devs? | |
| <Jester45> linux stability windows for gaming and mac;s options | |
| <cellofellow> oh, Bootcamp on x86 Apple computer. I see. | |
| <Jester45> cellofellow: what DSL iso do you use from qemu? | |
| <Jester45> i built dillo from source | |
| <cellofellow> It's an old 2.3. I haven't downloaded it in a while. | |
| <cellofellow> dillo schmillo | |
| <Jester45> yes but what kind of iso | |
| <Jester45> embedded syslinux vmx normal | |
| <cellofellow> The Plain DSL image, isolinux bootloader. Isolinux == normal | |
| <cellofellow> syslinux is for old computers. | |
| <cellofellow> the ones that balk at boot on nomal. | |
| <Jester45> ftp://ftp.oss.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/current/dsl-3.1.iso if you want new one | |
| <Jester45> your a bit behind on version | |
| <cellofellow> I'm fine with 2.3. :) | |
| <cellofellow> well, on the other hand, I'd love something that doesn't use the accursed Woody repo. | |
| <cellofellow> here it comes | |
| <Jester45> TheSheep: whats your website again? | |
| <Jester45> here what comes | |
| <cellofellow> the DSL 3.1 image | |
| <Jester45> %? | |
| <cellofellow> I'm dl-ing it | |
| <Jester45> im at 67% | |
| <Jester45> qemued DSL cluster fun fun | |
| <Jester45> thats some power | |
| <TheSheep> Jester45: http://sheep.art.pl | |
| <Jester45> ty | |
| <Jester45> TheSheep: do you speak a non-english ? | |
| <cellofellow> he's polish | |
| <Jester45> www.art.pl isnt english :) | |
| <TheSheep> Jester45: yeah, it's .pl -- Perl |
