<snook353> what is the java deb in synaptic called?
<snook353> the runtime environment - firefox says i don't have it
<cellofellow> sun-java5-jre
<cellofellow> something like that
<cellofellow> !java
<ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
<cellofellow> !find sun
<ubotu> Found: libapache-mod-tsunami, libdatetime-event-sunrise-perl, libsundials-serial-dev, libsundials-serial-doc, libsundials-serial0 (and 12 others)
<cellofellow> blegh
<maxamillion> !info sun-java5
<ubotu> Package sun-java5 does not exist in any distro I know
<PuMpErNiCkLe> You had it right the first time.
<maxamillion> !info sun-java5-jre
<ubotu> sun-java5-jre: Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.5.0-08-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 7279 kB, installed size 16132 kB
<maxamillion> :)
<snook353> i've got the binary , but not the source - i need the source repos too?
<cellofellow> no source, it's a binary proprietary version of Java.
*** nalioth_ is now known as nalioth
<somerville32> cellofellow, Java is released under the GPL my friend :P
<maxamillion> somerville32: 1.5 wasn't
<cellofellow> Not the one in edgy though, right?
<maxamillion> right
<cellofellow> Feisty, on the other hand...
<maxamillion> ;)
<somerville32> Oh right right... people still use Edgy and Dapper, lol
<cellofellow> that's the life of a dev, I guess.
<cellofellow> using Alpha software is a way of life.
<maxamillion> alpha software i can tollerate, what scares me is alpha compilers ;)
<snook353> can i just wget this http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java5/ ?
<cellofellow> haha
<snook353> ok
<snook353> ?
<cellofellow> yeah, but what's wrong with apt-get?
<snook353> idk why it don't show up - i enabled the repos
<cellofellow> apt-get update
<snook353> k
<maxamillion> aptitude ;)
<cellofellow> you have to download the package lists
<cellofellow> oh, yes
<cellofellow> but apt-get is ok for update IMHO
<maxamillion> don't intertwine the use of package managers ... bad things can happen ;)
<maxamillion> atleast... they have to me in the past
<cellofellow> the apt-cache is the same, and apt-get update and aptitude update work just fine.
<cellofellow> I mean they work the same.
<psykidellic> hi....i am trying to install xubuntu for the first time...i got this machine from my proff in school which was successfuly running debian before so I am sure that this machine works, but when I booth up and select to install (both VGA and non-VGA mode), the installation just stops after some time saying: 1 Analog Input Cannot display this video mode
<cellofellow> so, why bother?
<psykidellic> i have a 19 inch dell monitor.....what can be the problem?
<maxamillion> cellofellow: apt-cache != apt-get
<psykidellic> what can be the problem?
<cellofellow> I know, but apt-get update updates the apt-cache, and so does aptitude
<maxamillion> psykidellic: sounds like X is trying to display out of range ... could be because your graphics card supports some crazy hi resolution
<cellofellow> yeah, don't do super high refresh rates or resolutions
<psykidellic> max it supports 1280 X
<maxamillion> cellofellow: yeah, but aptitude does more checking and i'm not sure if you update apt-get if aptitude gets all the info its supposed to
<cellofellow> never run into any problems here, adam.
<psykidellic> maxamillion and cellofellow: how do i change it?
<maxamillion> psykidellic: right, but if you graphics card can push 1600x1200, then X probably runs at that ...
<psykidellic> it was by deafult
<PuMpErNiCkLe> The update is the same. It's just a list.
<maxamillion> cellofellow: fair enough
<PuMpErNiCkLe> It's during the install procedure that it does it's special dependency tracking.
<maxamillion> psykidellic: ctrl+alt+f1 ... does that give you a command line login?
<PuMpErNiCkLe> *its
<maxamillion> PuMpErNiCkLe: rgr
<psykidellic> hold on
<psykidellic> i will restart and check...the installation machine is right besie me
<cellofellow> psykidellic: sorry, we've like 3 conversations running.
<psykidellic> no problem
<psykidellic> i can figure it out
<psykidellic> there is an option
<psykidellic> during installation
<psykidellic> f4 that gives me VGA input
<psykidellic> which resolution should i select?
<cellofellow> like 1024x768 for now.
<snook353> is this what i add to the apt list?
<snook353> ttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java5/
<cellofellow> snook353: no
<cellofellow> one sec...
<somerville32> psykidellic, What version of Xubuntu are you running?
<snook353> k
<psykidellic> teh latest
<psykidellic> downloaded yesterday
<somerville32> There are two "latest"
<psykidellic> 6.10
<somerville32> 6.06 and 6.10
<somerville32> Ah, ok.
<psykidellic> edgy eft
<cellofellow> snook353: have line like this: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
<psykidellic> okie, the VGA input shows: 1024 X 768 X 16, 24, 32
<cellofellow> without the updates bit
<psykidellic> what is the third number?
<cellofellow> wrong line, same idea
<psykidellic> and which one should i choose?
<cellofellow> psykidellic: the bit depth, how many bits per pixel for colors.
<cellofellow> psykidellic: 24 should be fine
<psykidellic> hmm..but ctrl+alt_f1 dosnt take me to command line installation
<snook353> hmm, i already hav ethat one, cello
<cellofellow> with the multiverse in there?
<snook353> yeah
<maxamillion> psykidellic: not installation .. login, but either way that's a bad thing
<cellofellow> psykidellic: perhaps try the alt CD.
<snook353> Oh, n/m not that cello

<maxamillion> psykidellic: depends on your system
<psykidellic> hahahahaahhahahahahahahaha
<cellofellow> mines a DVD drive, yours could be a Zip drive. who knows.

<psykidellic> but the professor was using this machine without any problem...okie..i have kubuntu....i will try that but i dont think it will help....
<maxamillion> nope

<psykidellic> aaah
<psykidellic> got it
<psykidellic> downloading....
<maxamillion> :)
<psykidellic> actually i didnt start download
<psykidellic> i went to the page
<psykidellic> http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html - strange....there is no link to the iso image file!
<maxamillion> close enough
<maxamillion> psykidellic: yeah, they generally host them in compressed formats, you have to decompress to get the .iso
<psykidellic> hmmm
<psykidellic> why is that? its just more pain in the A!
<maxamillion> psykidellic: costs them less in bandwidth ;)
<maxamillion> psykidellic: bandwidth is expensive ... :/
<psykidellic> hmmmm
<lebowski> psykidellic, why is a compressed format a pain in the A .. they are quick to download ... save you your valuable time
<lebowski> I would prefer a compressed iso .. :)
<cellofellow> all you have to do is gunzip said file
<psykidellic> yeah, i guess you are right!
<psykidellic> okie...ultimatecd installed
<cellofellow> and max went to sleep
<psykidellic> yeah saw that but i cant find drive fitness test anywhere.....
<cellofellow> I don't know, sorry, I never used Ultimate Boot CD.
<aktee> hello everyone!
<aktee> just a quick question -- how can I remove Xubuntu's default application, without removing the package "Xubuntu-desktop"
<aktee> it seems like when I try to remove GXINE -- it always try to remove xubuntu-desktop with it
<psykidellic> how are you trying to remove it?
<aktee> and I know that if I remove xubuntu desktop, well, it aint gonna work no more, (i tried yesterday when I tried the same thing, but with ubuntu. It removed ubuntu-desktop and LOL!!)
<aktee> I tried by apt-get -remove, and I tried with synaptic
<aktee> maybe there's some kind of special command so that it removes just the gxine, not the whole deal?
<aktee> if this is not possible.. hmm..
<aktee> how about, really defining the default application of a file extension -- not with Thunar, but universally defining the default application (i'm having some problem with Opera that's why)
<aktee> ? :(..
<Commander-Crowe> hi
*** darren1 is now known as darrend
<grumpymole> aktee: with regards to your question about removing xubuntu-desktop:
<grumpymole> xubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package that tells what standard apps to install
<aktee> so.. it's safe to remove?
<grumpymole> removing it won't actually remove any of those apps. it sounds worse than it is.
<aktee> PHEW :|
<aktee> WOW last time I did it for ubuntu-desktop, It didn't boot anymore
<aktee> LOL
<grumpymole> it won't remove your actual desktop
<aktee> must have done something wrong
<aktee> cool thing !
<aktee> yesss.
<aktee> I have another question.. hmm..
<grumpymole> ask
<aktee> i know, using linux means that I should RTFM, but.. I'm not sure where to search this, in ubuntu, in xubuntu, in linux in general, in xfce, etc..
<aktee> hmm, I must have misconfigured my keyboard at the installation
<aktee> because I ALT-CAR + 2 doesnt give me the "e-mail A" anymore
<aktee> but when i configure it for 104 standard keyboard, it works
<aktee> the thing is, I don't know how to put it default
<grumpymole> don't know offhand, but someone else here might
<grumpymole> so, you want to make 104 standard keyboard your default?
<aktee> yeah, wait, i think i found it
<aktee> it's probably concerning Xorg
<aktee> (sorry kinda new to this.)
<grumpymole> http://ubuntu.sabza.org/2006/10/13/xubuntu-easily-switch-keyboard-layout/
<grumpymole> might be interesting
<aktee> yes, but that's for switching keyboard layout, while I only want 1.
<aktee> oh look
<aktee> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=322374
<aktee> :D
<grumpymole> ah, ok
<grumpymole> never had to change my keyboard layout before
<aktee> hmm..
<aktee> hmm ... /etc/X11/xorg.conf that's supposed to show me something when I open it with Mousepad, right?
<grumpymole> sure
<aktee> oop, got it. I went too fast and typed Xorg.config hahahah my bad :)
<grumpymole> aktee: you can blame your keyboard ;)
<aktee> hmm.. doesn't work
<aktee> it's already 104.. and layout is already CA
<aktee> aw..
<aktee> o well, thanks for the help :D
<grumpymole> aktee: what is the CAR in ALT_CAR + 2
<aktee> the Commercial A
<aktee> hmm
<aktee> you know, before gmail.com
<grumpymole> ok
<aktee> like, aktee"a"gmail.com
<aktee> seems like my AltCar just doesnt work
<grumpymole> with you now
<aktee> can't do the wavy thing too. (dunno it's named)
<grumpymole> tilde
<aktee> exactly
<aktee> =)
<grumpymole> so you are pressing shift + 2 to get @?
<grumpymole> or ALT key?
<aktee> no, I can't do it at all lol
<aktee> it's supposed to be ctrl+alt+2
<aktee> or Alt-CAR + 2
<aktee> but now it's neither of them
<aktee> maybe it's because of Xgl
<aktee> trouble came after xgl and beryl
<aktee> those are two messy programs :)
<grumpymole> i thought it might be related to the fact that xubuntu automatically installs with the right-hand alt key disabled
<aktee> ?
<aktee> wow
<aktee> where?
<aktee> :| maybe it's that
<grumpymole> try the other alt key
<aktee> hmm it's assigned to a hotkey for XGL
<aktee> now that I think about it.. with the other ALT, it doesnt execute the hotkey
<aktee> ... hmm..
<grumpymole> it can be fixed. just getting a link
<grumpymole> http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/11/i-guess-i-should-have-little-more-faith.html
<grumpymole> i thought the key on my old laptop was dying. turned out it was this.
<aktee> oh you got a blog!
<aktee> and a thinkpad! nice!
<aktee> thinkpad, tough machine eh?
<grumpymole> hence no beryl or other glitzy stuff
<grumpymole> thinkpad is still rock solid
<aktee> yeah. I had the same model - 600e. that thing has a long life
<aktee> hey thanks for the links, damn, i gotta restart X but i can't right now, burning a dvd..
<aktee> so i'll chat a little hahaha
<grumpymole> no probs. time to get some dinner.
<grumpymole> ciao
<aktee> ciao !
<KorN[CM]> is someone able to help me with samba, it's driving me crazy!
<kalikiana> what is the problem?
<KorN[CM]> um I cant get it to work ):
<KorN[CM]> im a linux noob (using webmin)
<KorN[CM]> I understand the basics
<KorN[CM]> however, Im not sure on this:
<KorN[CM]> my login account for ubuntu is :
<KorN[CM]> schilds
<KorN[CM]> do I need a different account for samba
<KorN[CM]> or can use that one?
<kalikiana> You mean the login you'd use to access your files form another machine? That has to be set seperately.
<KorN[CM]> ok is that a samba user?
<rexbinary> KorN[CM]: Have you been to Applications->System->Shared Folders ?
<kalikiana> yes. it doesn't seem to be in /etc/smb.conf...
<rexbinary> you can set it up pretty easy there
<KorN[CM]> ok first off Im running server install of ubuntu
<KorN[CM]> so therei s no application-system, etc etc.
<KorN[CM]> im using webmin
<KorN[CM]> however
<rexbinary> ah ok, thought it was xubuntu desktop
<KorN[CM]> ok
<KorN[CM]> so, I need a seperate user setup as a samba user, right?
<rexbinary> you don't have too, you just need a samba password for you username, do a smbpasswd -a username and then it will prompt for a password
<rexbinary> s/you/your
<kalikiana> that's the one i failed to remember :P
<KorN[CM]> ooh let's seen now :)
<KorN[CM]> ahah we're getting somewhere :)
<Iphigenia> Hmmm.....
<Iphigenia> bugger
<grazie> What groups and privs are required to pick up atp-get updates?
<TheSheep> grazie: you need to be root
<grazie> yes of course. that not my problem
<grazie> one user can get updates, another cannot. Both have admin privs
<TheSheep> grazie: what's the message?
<grazie> no message, just doesn't see any new updates
<TheSheep> you mean that apt-get update has no effect?
<grazie> yes
<TheSheep> sudo apt-get update?
<grazie> yes
<TheSheep> well, apparently there were no updates ready
<TheSheep> because the moment you use sudo, the both commands are run from the same user -- root
<grazie> yes there are updates. one user see them, the other does not!
<TheSheep> grazie: when one user gets the updates, the other one cannot get them second time -- they are there already
<grazie> TheSheep, no I have downloaded the updates yet. They are still there waiiting to be downloaded.
<grazie> s/have/haven't/
<TheSheep> 'apt-get update' updates the package database
<grazie> user1 requests updates - nothing. user2 requests updates - 26 updates. Boith have admin privs!
<TheSheep> grazie: explain "requests updates"
<grazie> sudo apt-get updates
<TheSheep> the index could have been updated in the mean time
<TheSheep> grazie: when yuo use sudo, it's not "user one requests updates, user2 requests updates". It's "root requests updates, root requests updates".
<grazie> I understand that. Which is why I don't understand why the updates are not seen by both users.
<grazie> user2 has been trying to get updates for a while - nothing
<grazie> user1 logs in - updates are there!
<TheSheep> I'm as helpless as you are :)
<TheSheep> or more
<grazie> good - it's not just me then!
<grazie> thanks for thinking about it
<grazie> TheSheep, I think there must be a bug in the Update Manager. Just logged in as user2 and updates are now available!
<grazie> TheSheep, I was actually using the Update Manager and not sudo apt-get updates
<kalikiana> How do I reference a variable in a Makefile, assuming I used name=`value`?
<TheSheep> $(name)
<TheSheep> grazie: that's what I suspected, update manager probably works differently
<TheSheep> grazie: are you sure it was running at all in both cases?
<grazie> TheSheep, Definitely yes
<kalikiana> TheSheep: that won't work inside a block it seems
<TheSheep> kalikiana: what block?
<kalikiana> block begins with: locale: i18n/*.po
<TheSheep> kalikiana: btw, there is no `foo` in makefile
<kalikiana> first line is: lang=`basename $< *.po`
<TheSheep> use $(shell ...)
<kalikiana> ?
<TheSheep> ??
<kalikiana> what do you mean with $shell?
<TheSheep> I mean you should use it
<grazie> $(sh ...)
<TheSheep> it's $(shell command) not $shell
<TheSheep> kalikiana: eg. VER = $(shell date +"%d.%m.%y-%H.%M")
<TheSheep> and it's "basename $< .po", not *.po
<kalikiana> ok, variable seems to be okay. but "mkdir -p locale/$(lang)/LC_MESSAGES" still won't do
<kalikiana> i know about basename, just a typo :P
<kalikiana> (although it works even with *)
<TheSheep> kalikiana: I'd use $(strip ...) instead of `basename`, much faster
<TheSheep> kalikiana: there is also $(basename ...)
<kalikiana> oh, didn't know that
<TheSheep> info make
<TheSheep> kalikiana: say, why don't you use dbus for invoking trackerd and thunar in catfish?
<TheSheep> kalikiana: and can I steal the thumbnail code?
<kalikiana> I wanted to have the choice between different backends, dbus is on ToDo for when I fixed some more important things
<kalikiana> steal the code, sure :)
<kalikiana> since I looked at your icon code anyway :P
<kalikiana> damn, how do i get that variable in my Makefile?
<TheSheep> kalikiana: ?
<kalikiana> mkdir -p locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES
<kalikiana> it won't insert the variable lang there
<TheSheep> kalikiana: it's $(lang), and do you have that variable defined in the makefile?
<kalikiana> lang comes from lang=$(shell ...)
<kalikiana> but $(lang) doesn't work either
<TheSheep> kalikiana: works for me
<TheSheep> kalikiana: does 'echo $(lang)' work?
<kalikiana> no, echo prints a blank line
<TheSheep> kalikiana: maybe you don't set the variable correctly?
<kalikiana> you know how i set it, what may be incorrect about that?
<TheSheep> kalikiana: what's exactly the '...' in $(shell ...) ?
<kalikiana> lang=$(shell basename $<)
<TheSheep> what are you trying to do?
<TheSheep> this is nonsense
<kalikiana> pseudocode: for any file i18n/*.po do mkdir -p locale/$file-without-ext/LC_MESSAGES

<jenda> Hello
<jenda> folks around? :)
<jenda> I need feedback from the relevant part of the community... ;)
<jenda> http://diy.devubuntu.com/xubuntu.png
<jenda> and what about the color of the mouse?
<jenda> Someone's suggesting I make it lighter.
<grazie> jenda, looks good to me. Where will it be used?
<jenda> grazie: at expos, available to anyone who wants them, too.
<jenda> $0.3 apiece ;)
<grazie> so the scale is as it would be used?
<jenda> nope :)
<jenda> case badges: 2*3 cm
<jenda> sorry about the scale - it's what the printer wants.
<jenda> (and I don't do proprietary vectors)
<grazie> the whiskers may be lost at that scale
<jenda> probable.
<jenda> Nothnig I can do about that, though :)
<grazie> nice though

<Commander-Crowe> hey all
<surgy> hello
<surgy> ubotwo nvidia
<ubotwo> surgy: Error: "nvidia" is not a valid command.
<LjL> !nvidia
<ubotwo> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
<surgy> thank you
<surgy> how do i tell what linux image i have? im running xubuntu 32bit
<surgy> whould that fall under 2.6 K7 ?
<esc_on_lucidrine> dunno maybe cat /proc/version ?
<surgy> ok i got it
<surgy> whould a Nvidia Ti4200 be in the nvidia legacy category?
<esc_on_lucidrine> no idea
<surgy> "Cannont mark nvidia-glx could not resolve dependecys"
<surgy> im missing a repo arnt i?
<surgy> what repo is nvidia-glx in?
<LjL> surgy: restricted i suppose
<surgy> seams like i have my restricted repos on and it still tells me the same message
<surgy> i turned on my restricted modules as it says in the tutorial, and when i searched for nvidia, in synaptic package manager, it brings up "nvidia-glx" when i check it for installation, it says it has a dependency that cannot be resolved.
<esc_on_lucidrine> whats the dependancy? can you resolv it manually?
<surgy> if i can resolve it manually i have no idea where to start, dependencys: nvidia-glx:
<surgy> Depends: nvidia-kernel-1.0.9629
<surgy> Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>=1.12.1) but 1.11.4-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
<surgy> Depends: libc6 (>=2.4-1) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20 is to be installed
<surgy> Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>=2.12.0) but 2.10.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
<surgy> Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>=2.10.3) but 2.8.20-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
<surgy> Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>=1.14.5) but 1.12.3-0ubuntu3 is to be installed
<esc_on_lucidrine> dependancy issues are nasty
<esc_on_lucidrine> so you have older versions of those libraries listed
<surgy> umm?
<surgy> was that a question?
<esc_on_lucidrine> guess it was an observation
<surgy> ok
<surgy> becuase i dont know what i have to be honest
<esc_on_lucidrine> like libgtk2.0.0 version 2.12.0 is expected but 2.10.3 is to be installed
<surgy> yeah, but how do i give it what it expects?
<esc_on_lucidrine> not sure
<esc_on_lucidrine> you will have to give it a repo that contains the packegs it wants perhaps
<esc_on_lucidrine> maybe get synaptic to o an update
<surgy> well i added the nvidia repo to /etc/apt/sources.list and i enabled the restricted repos in synaptic
<esc_on_lucidrine> and what version of Xubuntu are you running? breezy, dapper, edgy?
<surgy> i whould guess edgy
<surgy> i downloaded it august 06
<esc_on_lucidrine> ok, now make sure you are getting stuff from the edgy repos, by inspecting sources.list
<Commander-Crowe> no
<Commander-Crowe> dapper
<Commander-Crowe> he would have dapper
<esc_on_lucidrine> my guess would be to be able to use that package you may have to upgrade to edgy possibly, but check what the how-to lists as requirement
<surgy> is there any place where i can copy/paste a new sources.list that will contain all the repos i will need for awhile?
<esc_on_lucidrine> thats a bad idea
<surgy> esc: whats the benifit of upgrading to edgy?
<esc_on_lucidrine> you'll get your system out of sync
<Commander-Crowe> hehe
<Commander-Crowe> edgy isn't so buggie
<surgy> yeah ill look at a changelog :)
<esc_on_lucidrine> well, i guess the benefit may be to be able to use that package you want
<esc_on_lucidrine> you'll have more recent versions of software
<surgy> also a few questions: does edgy auto mount ntfs partitions by defualt? and will it do the same for external media such as my ipod?
<esc_on_lucidrine> dunno, i usually mount stuff manually
<Commander-Crowe> surgy, yes it will
<surgy> becuase i backed up all my emus and my movies to my secondary windows hdd and now i will need to access those
<surgy> kewl
<Commander-Crowe> you would need to find a special driver to write to it though
<surgy> ok time to find edgy
<esc_on_lucidrine> but then again this machine here is still on breezy :-)
<Commander-Crowe> you can read and exicute it though
*** gripir is now known as gripiR
<surgy> commander-crowe: i plane on copy/paste the whole hdd to this one and then converting it to linux partition
<Commander-Crowe> then you cool
<Commander-Crowe> your
<Commander-Crowe> you may need to install some packages from synaptic but thats really easy
<surgy> so edgy is the latest huh?
<esc_on_lucidrine> just make sure your copy has been successful, before you go deleting stuff
<Commander-Crowe> latest stable
<Commander-Crowe> right now I'm in 7.04
<surgy> i think im going kde this time though
<surgy> looks like fiesty heard is the latest there
<surgy> feisty fawn*
<esc_on_lucidrine> kde -> yuck
<esc_on_lucidrine> INMHO
<surgy> lol
<esc_on_lucidrine> but thats just personal preference :-)
<surgy> its all deb though right?
<surgy> so commands will be the same
<esc_on_lucidrine> and i don't need a shiny gui, but a low-footprint
<esc_on_lucidrine> well
<surgy> i like the shiny gui :)
<esc_on_lucidrine> hmmm, yes i used to myself, until i decided that since i'm doing everything from the command line anyway, all i really need is an xTerm, and a desktop pager
<esc_on_lucidrine> first KDE, then Gnome, then XFCE, now fluxbox
<surgy> i plan on getting everything set up through the term and then forgetting about xterm until something breaks :)
<esc_on_lucidrine> as i said personal preference
<esc_on_lucidrine> just the thing is, i work on several different machines at home and at work, and so i like having a similar way of doing stuff wherever i go
<surgy> yea that whould be nice
<esc_on_lucidrine> and the commands don't really vary across distros
<esc_on_lucidrine> well, apart from package management
<esc_on_lucidrine> stuff like gnu-utils is the same wherever you go,
<surgy> first time i have ever gotten over 300 kbps (im on a bottom end dsl conenction) but right now im getting 398 kbps
<esc_on_lucidrine> what are you donwloading?
<esc_on_lucidrine> edgy?
<slow-motion> hallo
<surgy> yeah edgy kde
<esc_on_lucidrine> you can just upgrade...
<surgy> gut morgan
<surgy> nah
<surgy> fresh install
<esc_on_lucidrine> !upgrade
<ubotwo> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
<kalikiana> Is there a panel plugin or something which checks for package updates available?
<esc_on_lucidrine> if you have nothing to lose reinstall is a good option, in my experiance i've often foobared stuff with a dist-upgrade
<esc_on_lucidrine> though if you've spent hours configuring your system dist-upgrade may be the way
<esc_on_lucidrine> but thats just based on personal experiance
<esc_on_lucidrine> at the moment my home network is a mess anyway, cause i'm too busy spending time at work
<esc_on_lucidrine> surgy, let me know if edgy fixes your problems
<surgy> yeah ill be right here untill it downloads
<surgy> but its prolly inapropriate to stay here after the install because its kde and not xfce
<surgy> esc: i have nothing to loose except what ive messed up :)
<esc_on_lucidrine> well, i guess its doubtful to get KDE related advice in this chan :-)
<surgy> off topic here but any of you guys wolfenstein fans?
<surgy> just wandering how my vid card will hold up to opengl on enemy teritory, it is a ti4200 world known for horrible ogl2.0
<esc_on_lucidrine> no idea, never game :-( just own shoddy g-cards
<surgy> lol
<surgy> well pcsx runs good on gforce 2 :) just a hint
<surgy> renders the entire psx in software fast and looks decent
<esc_on_lucidrine> i don't really have the time to game, fortunately :-)
*** gripiR is now known as gripir
<surgy> lol
<surgy> yeah i could prolly do with less games, loos a few pounds and kick a few habbits, but it seams like y entire state is gripped in this blizzard, roads are 5 inches deep in ice almost everywhere, public schools have been closed for over a week
<surgy> my*
<esc_on_lucidrine> heavy
<esc_on_lucidrine> whereabouts are you from?
<surgy> oklahoma
<surgy> you?
<esc_on_lucidrine> germany
<surgy> nice
<esc_on_lucidrine> we had the warmest winter since they started recording weather
<surgy> dont guess your catching any of the aftermath of el nino there are you :)
<esc_on_lucidrine> yeah schools were shut early yesterday
<surgy> becuase its warm?
<esc_on_lucidrine> heavy storm, tore down trees
<esc_on_lucidrine> and other stuff
<surgy> oh
<surgy> that sucks
<esc_on_lucidrine> i was gonna take my kite out, but i bust it during the last one :-)
<surgy> i like kites too, havnt had a chance to fly one since i was a kid
<esc_on_lucidrine> found the word, we had a hurricane
<surgy> oh lol
<surgy> we dont get those here
<esc_on_lucidrine> but blizzards instead
<esc_on_lucidrine> :-)
<surgy> only three natural disasters here are blizzards, droughts and tornadoes
<esc_on_lucidrine> yeah i own a revolution - shockwave... and i crashed it a bit to heavy last weekend, so the leading edge just snapped
<surgy> im sure our snow storms are nothing compared to germanys
<surgy> sucks
<esc_on_lucidrine> prolly not, we don't usually have many natural disasters here
<surgy> i figures since your so much further north it whould be like 20-30 degrees cooler year round
<esc_on_lucidrine> maybe a few floods in the rivers and the occasional hurricane, but flooded rivers are probably the worst
<surgy> this is the worst winter sense 92 in oklahoma
<esc_on_lucidrine> actually temperatures have become surprisingly mild over the last few years
<surgy> and its 27 degrees F outside
<esc_on_lucidrine> what that in celsius?
<esc_on_lucidrine> i don't know farenheit
<surgy> umm let me look it up :)
<surgy> 27 f is -2.77777777777777777777777777777777777777 C
<esc_on_lucidrine> google es
<esc_on_lucidrine> thats not cold at all
<surgy> lol thats what i thought :)
<surgy> your winters are alot worse
<esc_on_lucidrine> well, nothing is ever covered in snow for too long
<esc_on_lucidrine> and the schools very rarely shut, maybe once every 3 years for a cpl of days
<esc_on_lucidrine> amazing, a blizzard in oklahoma
<surgy> lol
<surgy> yeah like i said first one sense 92
<esc_on_lucidrine> btw. you do realise you can sell your snow on ebay
<surgy> so you can imagine that our cities werent ready for it, we had to contract snow plows and dip into our emergency funds
<surgy> really?
<esc_on_lucidrine> i saw a TV show bout it the other day
<esc_on_lucidrine> its for real
<esc_on_lucidrine> sell it to places that haven't got any
<surgy> lol
<surgy> so by warmest winter on record how warm is that?
<surgy> like 33 C ?
<esc_on_lucidrine> bout 10 deg C
<esc_on_lucidrine> on average
<esc_on_lucidrine> average temp usually is 1.5 deg C
<esc_on_lucidrine> close to freezing
<surgy> 10 C is 50 F and our winters are usually around that
<surgy> our summers are usually 100 F thats 37.77 C
<esc_on_lucidrine> so pretty mild and temperate here
<esc_on_lucidrine> thats HOT
<surgy> nah
<esc_on_lucidrine> well for me it would be anyway
<surgy> every other summer it gets around 104 F 40 C
<surgy> good swimming, lake weather
<esc_on_lucidrine> yeah, bigtime
<surgy> whats the hottest temp there? do you know? and what part of germany (thats a big place)
<esc_on_lucidrine> mars attacks, i'm off to watch telly, nice to meet you surgy
<surgy> you too
<surgy> seeya

<fxr> hi, does default xubuntu install have a built in ftp client or do i have to install one seperately?
<somerville32> AmaranthineNight, I'm great, thanks :)
<somerville32> fxr: You might have to install a graphical one
<somerville32> There is a text-based one installed already
<kalikiana> fxr: if so, then look in the menu 'network' ;)
<kalikiana> if not, gFTP might be good
<fxr> ahh right, yeah, i prefer a gui, thanks for the nudge ppl
