| <skippy> aloha! | |
| <Vorian> hey skippy :) | |
| <cpradio> okay, how do you import mozilla thunderbird into evolution? it seems thunderbird no longer uses the mbox storage method.... | |
| <cpradio> nm, needed to find the MBOXIMPORT extension | |
| <skippy> I don't think Evolution can import from Thunderbird. | |
| <skippy> happy St. Practice night. | |
| <Vorian> St. Practice eh? | |
| <Brady_M_at_work> Export the file as a text with commas file. should port over. and mail. I know .cvs is supported isn't it? | |
| <cpradio> the mbox-import extension in firefox allow me to import into evolution. so I am okay now. | |
| <Soccer5555> hey anybody know when you change your clock ahead | |
| <Soccer5555> one hour | |
| <Soccer5555> tonight at midnight or tomorrow at midnight | |
| <cpradio> does anyone know if evolution has a plugin to do archiving, like in Outlook? | |
| <skippy> Soccer5555, tomorrow night | |
| <skippy> cpradio, I don't know. | |
| <Soccer5555> k | |
| <derspankster> I have no friends | |
| <Vorian> Thats what we were just talking about :P | |
| <Vorian> how did you know? | |
| <derspankster> psychic | |
| <PWill> stalker* | |
| <derspankster> just back from the bermuda triangle | |
| <PWill> just back from Vorian's house* | |
| <derspankster> say no more | |
| <PWill> he | |
| <PWill> h | |
| <derspankster> just back from cocktail hour | |
| <PWill> huh | |
| <derspankster> with a ? | |
| * PWill is clueless | |
| <derspankster> sorry, I'm being unfoar | |
| <derspankster> unfair | |
| <derspankster> just living in my own little world here | |
| <PWill> skippy: did you go to freegeek on thursday? | |
| <skippy> PWill, I did not. | |
| <cpradio> anyone ever try to give a wireless card a static ip address? | |
| <Vorian> cpradio, yep | |
| <cpradio> ever have problems with doing that? | |
| <skippy> never had problems. | |
| <Vorian> nope :) | |
| <Vorian> Brady_M, really, you should use irssi or xchat | |
| <cpradio> okay, I setup the interface to be static with the netmask, gateway, and address. Then I ran /etc/init.d/networking restart | |
| <skippy> mayhem is about to ensue: the grandparents are here playing Wii bowling | |
| <skippy> cpradio, "setup the interface" how? | |
| <Vorian> wii bowling heh | |
| <cpradio> editing /etc/network/interfaces | |
| <cpradio> its just much easier modifying it by hand. | |
| <skippy> cpradio, radio; all you need to do is type `sudo ifdown ethX; sudo ifup ethX` where X is the interface number. | |
| <cpradio> tried that, but it doesn't get the static ip address | |
| <skippy> no need to restart networking entirely via /etc/init.d/networking | |
| <cpradio> it still refuses to use the static ip.... | |
| <skippy> that's odd. | |
| <skippy> did you do `ifdown ethX` ? | |
| <cpradio> its making me mad. I have done this successfully on all of my desktops, but for the life of me, this laptop won't do it. Yep. Mine is actually ifdown wlan0 | |
| <skippy> maybe kill any dhclient daemons that are still running? | |
| <cpradio> i have even tried rebooting | |
| <skippy> you sure your /etc/network/interfaces file is set correctly? can you pastebin it? | |
| <skippy> cpradio, I've not seen a system fail to take a static IP declaration in /etc/network/interfaces before. Something somewhere must be interfering. | |
| <cpradio> the other problem I am having and it might be related, is that the wireless won't connect immediately after a reboot. | |
| <cpradio> it acts like it isnt setup anymore | |
| <skippy> I've sometimes had that at home... I sometimes need to manually set the ESSID. | |
| <cpradio> well, I have to do that. I don't broadcase the ESSID | |

| <skippy> HI! I AM USING AOL 9.0 TOO! THE INTERNET IS FASTER THAN EVER!!!11oneonejuan | |
| <Brady_M> lol | |
| <cpradio> okay, I have nm-applet working again, but its still not using the IP I assigned. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9573/ | |
| <Vorian> Brady_M, THATS AWESOME! I ADDED YOU AS ADMIN TOO! | |
| <Vorian> YOU CAN ADD PEOPLE AT WILL :P | |
| <Brady_M> Sweet. HEY VORAIN> CAN YOU HEAr ME? I SEEM TO HAVE LOST MY CAPS LOCK KEY? I HOPE IT ISN'T ANY PROBLEMS IN HERE! (LOL) | |
| <Vorian> !caps > Brady_M | |
| <Vorian> :) | |
| <Brady_M> lol | |
| <Brady_M> I got 3 more people on Ubuntu now.. I'm doing doing good here. | |
| * Vorian highfives Brady_M | |
| <skippy> cpradio, your config looks correct. Hrm. | |
| <Soccer5555> but linux needs windows people | |
| <Soccer5555> who else will take the brunt of the viruse | |
| <skippy> I drop Ubuntu CDs around my building at work, on the off-chance someone picks it up and uses it. | |
| <cpradio> i know it does... do you think its because nm-applet is doing the actual connection to the wireless network? | |
| <cpradio> and if so, where does it store its' config file | |
| <skippy> I should really create an insert card explaining Ubuntu Ohio as a support mechanism | |
| <skippy> nm-applet is a front-end to the NetworkManager daemon. I've no idea where those configs are stored. | |
| <skippy> cpradio, does dmesg show anything? | |
| <skippy> anything in /var/log/message, /var/log/syslog, or /var/log/daemon.log ? | |
| <skippy> does the wireless card work when it's assigned a DHCP address? | |
| <cpradio> yes, it is working right now | |
| <cpradio> just wont use the static ip | |
| <skippy> I give up. Boot Windows and move on. | |
| <skippy> Ubuntu hates you. | |
| <Brady_M> >:o | |
| <Soccer5555> is this a wireless problem | |
| <skippy> it is | |
| <Soccer5555> i had a problem like that i didnt solve it but maybe i can dirrect you to a person that did solve it for me | |
| <cpradio> yep. wireless wont use the static ip address | |
| <Soccer5555> oh | |
| <cpradio> anyone know how NetworkManager works? how does it start and stop the wireless connection? | |
| <skippy> it communicates via dbus | |
| <Soccer5555> i have no idea | |
| <skippy> /etc/NetworkManager/ has some stuff. | |
| <cpradio> i've never used gnome before, so I am trying my best to find my way around. I know KDE very well, but my wife as usual has to make things a tad difficult. :-P | |
| <skippy> http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/ | |
| <cpradio> all I have is dispatcher.d in the /etc/NetworkManager | |
| <cpradio> and that is just a script | |
| <cpradio> it receives parameters, but from unknown locations | |
| <cpradio> anyone else think that site means it uses dhcp and is overriding my static ip interface? | |
| <cpradio> that at least is what I am reading into it | |
| <skippy> it might. | |
| <skippy> try stopping NetworkManager | |
| <skippy> you can add wireless commands to /etc/network/interfaces, too -- maybe set your ESSID there? | |
| <cpradio> if I do that, then I need to write a script to setup the network and run it. and I did that years ago, but I don't remember how to do that anymore | |
| *** skippy is now known as notskippy | |
| <cpradio> nm, solved it | |
| <cpradio> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9579/ | |
| <cpradio> thanks skippy for your help | |
| <cpradio> it seems NetworkManager does override the interfaces setup in /etc/network. That kinda sucks, but ohwell. | |
| <PWill> :( where's Vorian? | |
| <PWill> or meatballhat | |
| <Brady_M> He was here just 30 min ago picking on me. I don't know now. | |
| <PWill> lol | |
| <PWill> I got my friend to join the team | |
| <PWill> And he has to be approved | |
| <DM|> goodnithg all | |
| <cpradio> new interesting question for everyone, anyone dare try to install .NET 2.0 in Wine? I think I got IE 6 installed (was a prereq for .NET 2) and am in the middle of trying to install .NET 2, but all I see is weird symbols | |
| <PWill> anybody awake? i'm bored | |
| *** notskippy is now known as skippy | |
| <Seekker> morning | |
| <skippy> aloha | |
| <Seekker> ;) | |
| <Seekker> bbiab | |
| <derspankster> yes, a gnome | |
| <cpradio> what is the Deskbar applet for gnome panels? | |
| <cpradio> also, anyone use evolution? Where can I find a System Tray indicator? | |
| <PWill> cpradio: sudo apt-get install mail-notification-evolution | |
| <cpradio> is that the system tray plugin? As there is a sound notification plugin already installed it seems | |
| *** Black5un is now known as ^SuRe|wife | |
| <cpradio> nm, figured it otu. Thanks PWill | |
| <cpradio> what are good applications in gnome to use a scanner with? | |
| <PWill> xsane | |
| <chad> hello all | |
| <PWill> hey | |
| <chad> how's it going PWill? | |
| <PWill> good | |
| <PWill> you? | |
| <chad> not too bad, thanks | |
| <chad> do you know where the wallpapers are stored? | |
| <chad> what folder? | |
| <PWill> chad: sorry, i was away | |
| <PWill> go to /usr/share/wallpapers | |
| <PWill> i think | |
| <PWill> nope | |
| <PWill> try /usr/share/backgrounds | |
| <PWill> that should be it | |
| <cpradio> in the Open Dialog in Gnome, there is a 'Documents' button, how do I change where that links to? | |
| <PWill> what | |
| <cpradio> let me take a screenshot and post it | |
| <cpradio> http://cpradio.org/images/Dialog.png -- I want to customize the 'Documents' button to point to a specific folder | |
| <cpradio> bbiab, need to go run a few errands. | |
| <PWill> oh, i dunno | |
| <cpradio> :( | |
| <cpradio> this experience with gnome has made me wish that gnome were more straight forward like KDE. in KDE it is easy to modify those buttons, just right-click and tell it the new path | |
| <cpradio> lol, I figured it out. Documents points to /home/<username>/Documents | |
| <cpradio> guess I will just rename the folder I want it to go to, to Documents |
