[12:27] BBQ_Fetus: you can find out what the username is by looking in /home but if you want ot change it then a reinstall is probably the easiest way. [12:27] esc: not sure, sorry. [12:27] PuMpErNiCkLe, whats the difference between .bashrc and .bash_profile [12:27] is .bash_profile just login shells? [12:27] do i have to be in root to look at /home? [12:27] not to look at it no [12:28] to modify it, yes :-) [12:28] how can i look at it? [12:28] well you'll need to login first :-) [12:28] thats the problem [12:28] i cant log in [12:28] you can use a live CD, like grml, for example to examine the file system [12:28] or knoppix for that matter [12:29] it wont accept my username and pw i thought i created last night [12:29] BBQ_Fetus: teh recovery mode doesn't require a login - you go straight to a priviledged shell [12:30] from there you can look in /home to see what the username is and then reset the password for the user with the passwd command [12:30] bash_profile is read a login, bashrc is for non-login terminals. [12:30] s/a login/at login/ [12:31] PuMpErNiCkLe, so if i go and modify the PATH in .bashrc, it'll go adding stuff to PATH with every shell i open eh lol :-) [12:31] esc: only in that shell, not systemwide [12:31] so when i get to root type /home [12:31] ? [12:31] try ls //home [12:31] minus one / [12:32] BBQ_Fetus: 'ls /home/' will list one directory for each user [12:33] it showed the txt [12:33] "oem" in blue [12:33] is that my username? [12:33] no, in that case you've done an OEM install and haven't configured it for your user yet. [12:34] hang on a sec I'll look up the instructions [12:34] by default directories are colored blue :-) [12:34] !oem [12:34] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[12:46] And we got the one that claimed compatability. [12:46] ok [12:46] okay, im in guys [12:46] Sadly, after tests and tests, it didn't work, and the computer complained with an error message : "unable to power slot" [12:47] superkirbyartist: what does "lspcmcia" say? [12:47] So we left the big computer store and went to a smaller store [12:47] now that im at the desktop, how can i troubleshoot my display problems, i can somewhat make out the display [12:47] We gave up and aimed for Ethernet products. [12:47] There is a 45$ card that works perfectly. [12:48] But I bought the 15$ USB-to-Ethernet cable to ty [12:48] try to make it work, since it was cheaper. [12:48] cool [12:48] Now, the question is, how can I get the cable to work? [12:50] Sorry, just went to go get laptop. [12:52] So how can I get my cable to work? [12:52] how can i manually set the resolution in the GUI? it only lets me select a max of 1024 x 768 [12:52] and the right half of the screen is flickering badly [12:52] but this is the best i have gotten it to display thus far [12:52] so i have hope [12:53] Anyone? [12:54] superkirbyartist: what do you mean by "getting my cable to work"? [12:55] BBQ_Fetus: in Applications->Settings->Display Settings [12:55] I plug it into usb port on laptop, the other end is ethernet (plugged to modem). [12:57] yes i know, thats where i was at [12:57] but 1024 x 768 is the max setting it gives me [12:57] and i still have display problems [12:57] http://tinyurl.com/yljgtu is the product [12:57] the right side of the screen flickers badly [12:57] but the whole left side displays fine [12:58] where can i manually edit the resolution?

[01:17] Really all your opinion would be really be important. I think, that is an important thread, I've also contacted the claws mail developers to keepm in touch with the thread [01:17] superkirbyartist: what? [01:17] How can I get the Nexxtech USB to Ethernet cable to work? [01:17] i think that we all can benefit from a more efficient email client that Thunderbird [01:18] superkirbyartist: i have never heard of that device, why would i know how to make it functional? [01:18] Anyone? [01:20] superkirbyartist: something like that isn't specific to xubuntu ... you might want to try asking in #ubuntu ... there are generally more users in there and someone might be able to help [01:21] hey cool one of the claws mail developers offered his support on ubuntu forums, for enhancing claws mail experience in xubuntu. That would be very benefit :D [01:22] he's offering help to xubuntu developer team [01:22] Flashall: If they improved html mail support Claws Mail might be a pretty nice default client. === kalikiana7 is now known as kalikiana [01:24] kalikiana, yes i agree, but i think that we should take advantage of thei're help. and kalikiana7 you can add that topic to the poll [01:25] Thunderbird as firefix, it's to "memory leaked" :P and in low end PC's often blocks === Falladir [n=zackglen@pu106285.student.Princeton.EDU] has joined #xubuntu [01:27] okay guys can u walk me thru this, how to configure my monitor settings to display correctly [01:27] this is my monitor [01:27] specs [01:27] http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/p1110/En/specs.htm === opie_ [n=opie@cpe-065-190-197-056.nc.res.rr.com] has joined #xubuntu [01:34] Flashall: I posted and voted, now it's up to the developers and the Xubuntu team. :) [01:35] to replace moz-tbird with gtk2 syl-claws? === vidd_laptop [n=vidd@static-72-86-135-233.phlapa.east.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu [01:36] kalikiana, thanks for your support, please spread this poll for all the xubuntu users you know, i've been promissed by the claws mail developers that they would keep that thread under the eye [01:36] crimsun: yes, that seems to be what the majority would like to see happen for feisty and there is even a claws devel who would like to help make it happen [01:37] what i miss? [01:37] this thread can also help to gice claws mail developers a better feadback of their application, and can help them improve much features [01:37] vidd_laptop: lemme get you a link [01:37] vid: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332781 [01:37] yeah ... that's the one === vidd_laptop goes to read [01:38] people must learn to migrate feature requests to -devel and launchpad [01:38] sorry about my bad english in the thread [01:38] most of us don't read the forum [01:39] lol...check this quote: [01:39] Windows (n): A 32 bit shell for a 16 bit operating system, [01:39] originally written for an 8 bit processor on a 4 bit bus by a 2 bit company [01:39] that can't stand 1 bit of competition! - Anon [01:39] crimsun: i do ... i can be the bridge ;) [01:39] you've got your work cut out for you :p [01:40] vidd_laptop: nice, where'd you find that? [01:40] crimsun: yeah, i've noticed ... only been on the forums for like a week and a half, have to check them 2 or 3 times a day to partially keep up [01:40] on that link [01:40] well crimsun you could help spread the forum poll in the feature requests to -devel and launchpad. i'm not registered on those :( [01:40] vidd_laptop: oh ... hrh [01:40] heh* [01:41] Flashall: I could, but I don't care enough about either moz-tbird or gtk2 syl-claws to do so [01:41] i.e., the current default does not annoy me enough to do so [01:41] crimsun, which email u use? mutt? [01:41] Flashall: it has been spoken about in -devel and i don't really see a big conversation community on launchpad [01:41] however, since this is a community-driven derivative, if the community puts forth the effort, then the community can make it happen [01:42] Flashall: all those [01:42] crimsun: i told the devel who wants to help to post on the mailing list, if he does i figure we can then see who is interested and go from there [01:43] claws devel* [01:44] there is a default e-mail client? [01:44] maxamillion, i have sponken with some xubuntu users, and they don't understand why thunderbird is the default choice fot GUI email client, since its much of a resource eater === vidd_laptop never noticed =] === phaedra [n=phaedra@69-165-228-12.atlsfl.adelphia.net] has joined #xubuntu [01:44] Flashall: the same argument happens all the time over firefox [01:44] i think there are many users as i , that want a change :) [01:45] maxamillion, you are correct, however claws mail has al the major features that thunderbird has [01:45] even supports themes and plugins [01:45] is claws in the repo's? [01:45] yes, it's in the repo. === vidd_laptop will have to check it out [01:46] vidd_laptop, u can download the latest version from the repos of the site :) they have repos for dapper and edgy [01:46] cool...but i dont like adding repo's to my sources list [01:47] Flashall: claws does not atopt the users gtk theme and does not have html support ... [01:47] maxamillion, yes but if the developers colaborate they can change that [01:47] !sylpheed-claws-gtk2 [01:47] sylpheed-claws-gtk2: Fast, lightweight and user-friendly GTK2 based email client.

[01:48] Flashall: well, lets take one step at a time and work on that ... i just don't want to put all this effort into "selling" the idea to the dev team and the user community to have the features we need not implemented in time for feisty's release [01:48] Html and Theming are just the two points I critisized in the thread and which I'd say have to be fixed when Claws Mail becomes the default client. [01:48] vidd_laptop: ooooh, ok [01:49] kalikiana: yeah, i took those as examples from your post ;) [01:49] Oh, ok *g [01:49] do I need to upload 2.6.1? [01:49] no one seems to complain that it's not present in 7.04 [01:50] i've spoke earlier with Colin Leroy, one of the project leaders , and he was interested in given all the support needed for helping xubuntu experience, and improve user experience [01:50] crimsun, can you add it to the repo's? [01:50] so we can expect good things, although i agree with you maxamillion [01:51] vidd_laptop: I'm not going to unless there's a rabid group of people who can't live without it === vidd_laptop does not like to add things to his apt source list [01:51] (and I'm speaking of 7.04, not 6.06 or 6.10) [01:51] crimsun: i personally think you shouldn't bother with the effort until there is enough organization and support behind these conversations [01:51] .... === quad3datwork2 [n=quad3dat@12.110.209.75] has joined #xubuntu [01:53] kalikiana, you can download a tango theme to claws mail [01:54] TangoClaws [01:54] Author: Frederik Elwert [01:54] View all icons Download (32 kB) [01:54] Downloads: 1479 [01:54] i think that one of your complaints its easy to overcome ;) [01:55] Flashall: what if the user wants to alter their theme ... claws will still hold the theme we set it to [01:56] sigh, a name change to boot [01:56] I -love- that crack. [01:56] Flashall: and you know that would be one of the common questions we answer around here too [01:58] sorry maxamillion i didn't understood what is your point [01:59] Flashall, everyone and thier brother will be asking how to change themes [01:59] i think [01:59] Flashall: well if the installation package has the gtk theme to match the desktop, if the user wanted to change their theme then claws wouldn't change with it, it itself would have to be re-themed and alot of users would complain [02:00] is there a way to link the two? [02:00] probably [02:00] maxamillion, know i undestand your point [02:00] question...does thundebird have a theme thing? [02:01] vidd_laptop, yes [02:01] does thunderbird's theme correspond with the desktop theme? [02:02] no, i think it is the default mozilla thunderbird theme [02:02] or do you have to manually reconfigure it too? [02:02] yeah ... mozilla just kinda does its own thing [02:03] then i think the "theme mismatch" is a mute point [02:03] yap, thats also true [02:03] if the alternative dont do it, then having this "claws" do it (or able to do it) is just a bonus [02:04] vidd_laptop: yeah ... guess that's true [02:04] how do i get back to the gui from an alt cntrl f2 [02:04] [02:04] however even if thunderbird is included in the next release, i think that claws mail, is a healthy competition :) and we all can benefit [02:04] awwww that you [02:05] Flashall: true [02:05] BBQ_Fetus, ??? [02:06] vidd_laptop: i think he ment "thank you" === vidd_laptop is just not with it today [02:08] not enough coffee [02:08] vidd_laptop: yeah, story of my life... there will never be enough coffee === kalikiana [n=kalikian@xdsl-87-78-22-87.netcologne.de] has joined #xubuntu [02:09] maxamillion, IS there such a thing? [02:09] vidd_laptop: apparently not .... [02:09] vidd_laptop: drink coffee all day and still fall asleep that night ... doesn't make sense === vidd_laptop could drown in coffee and complain there was not enough.... [02:11] maxamillion, if I DONT get coffee b4 bed, i CANT sleep [02:13] vidd_laptop: well that's just addiction [02:13] at its best i might add ;) === maxamillion embraces his caffeine addiction [02:14] coffee's like water here; I just drink it whenever [02:15] water? what's that?....oh the stuff you make coffee with!!! [02:15] Mead ftw; cheers. [02:16] mead? [02:16] is that like beer? [02:17] No, it's fermented honey. [02:17] that would kill me [02:17] being type II and all. [02:17] on occasion i dont drink coffee b4 bed....i dring soda [02:18] crimsun, dont you have a shot or something to cure that? [02:18] PuMpErNiCkLe, sounds like an aquired taste === vidd_laptop is not sure he could drink(?) that [02:19] It is, a bit. [02:19] somerville32 must be away...he hasnt chased us to offtopic yet [02:19] =] [02:20] vidd_laptop: pricking myself every drink would suck. [02:20] so take a shot drink three and then prick [02:20] it's the same deal [02:20] (if you can still shot straight) [02:21] the path of laziness dictates that I stick w/ water === vidd_laptop had some pity for you around here somewhere, but he thinks his old lady threw it out cuzz it was getting rancid [02:22] =] [02:22] so ... i found out this machine wouldn't boot a 2.6 kernel, i install debian sarge because it offers a 2.4 kernel by default _and_ recognizes this random ethernet card so i get everything installed and working but i want to run lighttpd on it which is only offered in etch and sid ... what do i do? think to myself "why not just upgrade to etch?" ... well i did, now i have to start over because the 2.6 kernel of etch [02:22] [02:23] lol === vidd_laptop points to offtopic === maxamillion has performed his noob move of the week [02:23] Build it yourself. ^^ [02:23] PuMpErNiCkLe: i plan to do so this time around [02:24] PuMpErNiCkLe: well, no ... i think i am just going to use Boa because i only wanna host a wiki, files, and a web page on this thing [02:25] !lighttpd [02:25] lighttpd: A fast webserver with minimal memory footprint.

[02:27] crimsun, that is an incorrect statement === crimsun chuckles [02:27] is it now? [02:28] I invite to you investigate our 4.10 release, which shipped with 2.6.8.1 === vidd_laptop is almost possitve that the first version at least was before 2.6 was released [02:28] and you'd be almost positively incorrect. [02:28] crimsun: i insalled 2.4.27 on 5.04 on this machine last night [02:29] seriously, go download a 4.10 iso and see [02:29] crimsun: from the installation cd i got through shipit [02:29] yes, you -can- install a 2.4 kernel [02:29] crimsun: i'm not doubting you, but the 2.4 was able to be used for install back then and isn't now [02:29] we have never and won't ship a 2.4 in the default install. [02:29] yes, that i know and you shouldn't [02:31] it would be beneficial to make the card work under 2.6 [02:31] what is the lspcmcia for the card? [02:32] hack it till it hurts -- i mean WORKS -- [02:32] crimsun: its not so much the card, the whole system won't boot on 2.6 ... its a sony picturebook with all external peripherals and the 2.6 kernel won't see the cd-rom drive after the kernel loads so i can't install anything .... knoppix won't even boot on this thing with 2.6 [02:32] well guys got to go sleep [02:33] good knight or good day ;) [02:33] knight=night eheheh tricky english [02:34] lol [02:34] night === cellofellow [n=josh@209.193.108.32] has joined #xubuntu [02:45] hello [02:45] *wave* cellofellow [02:45] :) === kalikiana waves at cellofellow [02:49] hi kalikiana === kalikiana is eating tapioka noodles with coco sauce *g [02:51] huh [02:53] tapioka noodles?

[03:15] not sure what's wrong with it then, a script (or alias) to do the cd and then run boinc might be worth a try though. === remyzero [n=remyzero@219-90-164-80.ip.adam.com.au] has joined #xubuntu [03:16] hello === snook353 [n=snook353@24-197-132-105.dhcp.spbg.sc.charter.com] has joined #xubuntu [03:17] forgive me for being ignorant, but I'm very new to linux (today's my first day) and I haven't a clue how to do that. any chance you could walk me through creating a script or alias?

[03:17] i saw it somewhere, but i don't remember how [03:18] snook353: add the screenshot plugin to the panel, then click it.

I just found out that it comes with a script, and I should have been using it in the first place (run_manager instead of boincmgr) thanks anyway! [03:20] mdfrostt: and I'd almost finished typing an explanation of how to make a script :) [03:20] if the manufacturer of a mobo doesnt supply drivers for linux, is there a site that has them? [03:21] drivers should just be in the kernel. [03:21] for the intel 945 chipset === snook353 [n=snook353@24-197-132-105.dhcp.spbg.sc.charter.com] has left #xubuntu [] [03:23] oh, i am looking at maxamillion post in the forum ;) [03:23] Those are definitely included by default. [03:25] and the rest of the drivers for the mobo? [03:25] onboard video and network? [03:25] maybe it's the video and the sound and such. [03:26] Most likely included. The video may require a proprietary driver for full 3d acceleration, but that would be in the repository if there was one. [03:26] ah thank you [03:27] the default video driver works [03:27] not wel [03:27] *well === mdfrostt [n=chris@c-69-251-41-81.hsd1.md.comcast.net] has left #xubuntu [] [03:28] I've never had an Intel video card on linux, so I don't know which driver works best. I've an nvidia. [03:28] and when i update xubuntu the desktop exits to cli after logging on [03:28] odd. [03:28] The intel drivers are included by default, one version only, since Intel releases their driver source code.

[07:04] nixternal, pong-a-dee-pong :) [07:04] hehe [07:04] hey, so Xubuntu is a registered trademark as well correct? [07:05] I guess so :] [07:05] I have received mix messages from "Canonical" employees on it, and I noticed you sparked up a convo in doc === somerville32 nods. [07:05] well, Canonical pissed me off for sending a Holiday card that had the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu logo and no Xubuntu logo. [07:06] it was for the Fridge, but I replied and said I wouldn't add it since it didn't have Xubuntu on there, and never heard back [07:06] lol [07:06] nixternal, Do you use Xubuntu? [07:06] on my old laptop i do [07:06] :] [07:06] Dapper or Edgy? [07:06] Edgy [07:06] Feisty is going to be awesome. :] [07:06] will put feisty on it shortly for some testing [07:07] Infact, Feisty is already really cool :] [07:07] sweet [07:07] It has a gui config tool for the compositor (no need to edit an xml file now) [07:07] ya, I dual boot that machine with Xubuntu and gNewSense actually [07:07] And things are much more glossy [07:07] :] [07:07] Like, the windows decorations are absolutely beautiful [07:07] i shall dl and install it tomorrow [07:08] nixternal: I'd wait a few days [07:08] i can do that [07:08] i know one of the lead guys in my LUG is in love with Xubuntu [07:08] even on his new 64bit machines he runs it. [07:08] LD [07:09] *:D [07:09] hehe [07:09] I know a lot of people who have nice powerful machines that use Xubuntu too [07:09] I know, it's sooo much better than that crazy komodo dragony thing with the purple wallpaper. [07:09] heh [07:10] i think i catch the drift of that one crimsun, especially the purple wallpaper portion [07:10] hence, i don't use that anyways :) [07:10] better close this konsole tab [07:10] err I mean [07:10] hahahahaha [07:10] busted!

[08:39] it's more a missing feature [08:40] the menu uses the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications [08:40] and there's no way to change this in Xfce [08:41] (currently) [08:41] gpocentek: i did manage to read that one someone's blog. i'm assuming the "Categories:" section in that file is what manages the shortcuts location? [08:42] yes [08:42] brb [08:43] out of curiousity, has the Xfce-menueditor ever been able to do it, like in previous versions? [08:44] How can I easily get "ps -lA" to sort by cpu usage?

[01:04] Cool. There is lots of info for doing this from windows but not linux. I'm guessing it's roughly the same with a few grub tweaks? [01:05] Yeah, probably. [01:08] you know, i hate being beaten. I got a laptop off my brother. They had win2k on it but "ripping cds was slow". Some "expert" upgraded win2k for them and killed the system. I've been trying to get xubuntu on it but it fails with lots of IO errors reading CDs. DSL works ok, but i guess it might being so small. If I can get xubuntu on it I've won, regardless of if they get rid of it later :D [01:09] :) [01:10] I *never* lose >:) [01:11] 'Course not, it's Linux. [01:11] you know quite a bit about it? [01:11] Not so sure about that. [01:11] I know enough for me. [01:12] DSL is pretty cool, but i like the *buntu infrastructure [01:12] updates/synaptic etc [01:12] I'm pretty sure DSL is meant to stay as a LiveCD. [01:13]
