<Locksmith> where is that...i'm looking at gnome.org

<Locksmith> too bad i didnt know russian .... someone else with same prob at http://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=65&active=&topic=0817&start=20

<marmer> hy all

<Locksmith> found it

<Locksmith> hi

<marmer> can you help me please

<marmer> after login my edgy is too slow like 3 minutes

<Locksmith> may gave a bad hard drive?!

<johanbr> Locksmith: To find the file, type

<johanbr> find .gconf -type f |xargs grep -i "screen//"

<johanbr> Sorry, should be ~/.gconf rather than .gconf

<Locksmith> so it would be sudo find ~/.gconf -type f |xargs grep -i "screen//"

<johanbr> You don't need sudo, but otherwise, yes.

<Locksmith> dave@:~$ sudo find ~/.gconf -type f |xargs grep -i "screen//"

<Locksmith> /home/dave/.gconf/apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel/%gconf.xml: <stringvalue>sudo gconftool-2 -u /desktop/gnome/screen//0/resolution</stringvalue>

<Locksmith> thats what i got

<johanbr> Weird. That's the command you typed before. I don't know what that's doing there.

<Locksmith> <?xml version="1.0"?>

<Locksmith> <gconf>

<Locksmith> <entry name="history-gnome-run" mtime="1171236716" type="list" ltype="string">

<Locksmith> </li>

<Locksmith> </entry>

<Locksmith> </gconf>

<Locksmith> its a history file.... still doesnt help much

<johanbr> So that "//screen" is not in the gconf database, the problem is coming from somewhere else.

<lophyte> Burgundavia: ?

<marmer> la

<Locksmith> hmmm

<Locksmith> I wish i new what files are called when i run the gnome SCREEN RESOLUTION app

<Locksmith> is there a script i can write to search files for instances of that word?

<Locksmith> the screen//0 ?

<johanbr> Well, it could still be in the system gconf tree (as opposed to the user tree), but that seems unlikely. You could give it a try, though: just do what you did before but replace "~/.gconf" with "/etc/gconf".

<Locksmith> ahh ok i'll try

<Burgundavia> lophyte: I have no idea

<Locksmith> running a root find... probably will take a while....this is fun... i am learning linux fast at this rate! I now know about text editors... how to navigat the directories and ls for hidden files with the -a

<Locksmith> and now learning how to use the find command

<Locksmith> allright I love it when things don't work quite right

<johanbr> You're grepping through every single file on the system?? That will take hours.

<johanbr> There are other things you could do, like logging in as a different user to see if the problem is still there.

<Locksmith> good idea... i should create another user

<Locksmith> error on the second user as well and the touchpad didn't work either

<johanbr> Ok, so it's definitely a system-wide problem.

<Locksmith> yep

<Locksmith> brb

<Locksmith> ive forgotton the fin command already... find /home grep f ....or some thing

<Locksmith> i want to grep the home directory for "screen//0" in files

<johanbr> find ~ -type f |xargs grep "screen//"

<johanbr> You may actually want to do find ~ -type f -size -500k |xargs grep "screen//" . That will only grep files smaller than 500 kilobytes.

<Locksmith> ok i cant seem to find instances of this error in a config file....hmmm

<Madpilot> greetings, strange people

<J-_> bonjour =)

<lophyte> hey Madpilot

<Madpilot> hi lophyte

<lophyte> what'd you get out of the meeting log?

<Madpilot> seems the meeting was mostly concerning the website-to-be

<lophyte> yup

<lophyte> for the most part, it was

<Madpilot> including the usual ideas that need to be veto'd: our own wiki, our own forums, etc etc - all the stuff we do not need ;)

<lophyte> hehe, yeah

<lophyte> it'd be really nice if we could integrate forums with mailing list

<Madpilot> I think the "let's hack phpbb into a CMS, which it isnt' designed to be" idea was via the ML rather than the meeting, but it needs to be squished too... why would we want to use the most-hacked webapp out there?

<lophyte> yeah

<lophyte> I think if we're going to use a CMS, we use a CMS.. not hack something *into* a CMS

<lophyte> we want the method which requires the least hacking I'd say

<Madpilot> yup. Similarly, we should be using an existing, documented system if at all possible, not a homegrown hacked system

<Madpilot> the line in the Ubuntu CoC about successorship, and all

<lophyte> what CMS did you have in mind?

<Madpilot> not sure, Burgundavia was supposed to be looking into them today

<Madpilot> <cough> consider that a ping, btw... ;)

<Burgundavia> I got sucked into the book

<Burgundavia> pretty much it comes down to drupal or joomla

<lophyte> never played with joomla

<Madpilot> the Ubuntu websites use a lot of Drupal, don't they?

<Burgundavia> no

<Burgundavia> u.c is moin, soon to be joomla

<lophyte> isn't the whole site wiki-based?

<Burgundavia> yes, moin

<lophyte> like jamonation.. I'm a Drupal fanboi when it comes to pre-built CMS systems

<Madpilot> http://www.opensourcecms.com/ has live demo servers of lots of CMSes, including Drupal & Joomla - except the demo servers are offline right now, it seems

<lophyte> jamonation: you around?

<lophyte> ugh.. its things like this that remind me why I like Ubuntu so much

* lophyte is spoiled

<Madpilot> which OS are you currently suffering with?

<lophyte> FC6

<lophyte> no madwifi drivers by default, and very little documentation to work with

<lophyte> and what I did find on the forums, suggests that I download and compile the source

<Madpilot> old-skool Linux forever!

<Madpilot> or something

<lophyte> oi.. *shakes head*

<lophyte> no wireless for me on FC6

<lophyte> compiling from source is silly

* Madpilot has never compiled anything, in over a year of using Ubuntu, and cherishes his ignorance of the whole field...

<lophyte> haha

<koi-mobile> ha

<lophyte> I used Slackware for quite a while before Ubuntu

<lophyte> so I know all about compiling

<lophyte> compiling from source is a make-work method of doing things imo

<lophyte> things should just work

<lophyte> I'm almost tempted to try opensuse

<lophyte> but... Novell.... *shudder*

<Madpilot> "Things Should Just Work." - isn't that one of Ubuntu's slogans? ;)

<lophyte> haha, indeed it is

<lophyte> I'm just trying to broaden my horizons

<lophyte> anyway I'm going back to Ubuntu.. using wired networking sucks

<lophyte> ahhh.. now I feel at home

<matjan> lophyte, :)

<matjan> WELCOME BACK

<matjan> oops

<lophyte> lol

<lophyte> thanks ;)

<lophyte> hey all

<J-_> gggf/quit

*** moomoo is now known as holycow

*** malcolm_ is now known as malcolmb

<ryanakca> any idea when lophyte will be back?

* ryanakca needs to talk to him by... oh... 8PM tonight

<lophyte> hey all

<ryanakca> lophyte: hey

* ryanakca 's dad is staying at the Delta

<ryanakca> Delta Chelsea

<ryanakca> hmm...

<ryanakca> shouldn't be very far away... and he leaves at noon tommorow...

<ryanakca> you going to be at the caffe tonight? or tommorow morning?

<johanbr> Last week, a guy at work got a new laptop with Vista and I asked if he'd put linux on it and he replied "Probably not, I haven't used linux since 1997." Today he said he was fed up with Vista and asked which distro he should install. :)

<Burgwork> heh

<ryanakca> lol
