[12:59] <maxamillion> anyone know of a gui network config front end that is known to function with ndiswrapper?
[01:00] <somerville32> Nope
[01:00] <somerville32> lol
[01:00] <maxamillion> erm...
[01:00] <maxamillion> i finally got it to see that the wifi card exists ...
[01:01] <maxamillion> wifi-radar doesn't pick anything up though ... but i had heard it doesn't work with ndiswrapper ... which appears to be true
[01:03] <somerville32> Hrmph
[01:04] <maxamillion> looks like my only option is network-manager-gnome
[01:06] <maxamillion> nvm, once that is installed i can find the command to execute it and i don't know where it is ... whereis turned up nothing
[01:09] <TheSheep> maxamillion: just see the list of files in package
[01:09] <maxamillion> ah, rgr
[01:11] <maxamillion> TheSheep: yeah ... still no help
[01:16] <Jester45> i got my new ram
[01:17] <maxamillion> awesome
[01:17] <Jester45> yeps
[01:32] <Jester45> ok i got a question on power supplies
[01:33] <Jester45> on the red switch on theback what setting is higher the one showing the higher number or the space wherethe higher number would be
[01:36] <Jester45> Windows XP - The 64-bit wannabe with a 32-bit graphics interface for 16-bit extensions to a 8-bit patch on a 4-bit operating system designed to run on a 2-bit processor by a company that can't stand 1-bit of competition
[01:36] <Jester45> so true
[02:18] <grumpymole>  /quit
[02:24] <Eroick> does Deskbar work on xubuntu and can I install xubuntu with a alternative install disk?
[02:27] <somerville32> yes and yes
[02:28] <Eroick> somerville32: should I install a command line system then apt-get install xubuntu-desktop?
[02:28] <somerville32> Just use the alternative install disk
[02:28] <someonww> hi
[02:28] <somerville32> Eroick: And install the desktop
[02:28] <somerville32> someonww, hi
[02:28] <someonww> how do I mount a FAT partition?
[02:28] <Eroick> somerville32: but it asks" Install in text mode" or :Install a command-line system" which one?
[02:28] <someonww> is there a buttong to do that?
[02:28] <somerville32> Eroick: Install in text mode
[02:28] <somerville32> someonww: There is an applet
[02:28] <Eroick> ok, thanks!
[02:29] <somerville32> np :)
[02:29] <somerville32> And good luck
[02:29] <someonww> how do i mount a FAT partitoin?
[02:30] <somerville32> someonww, After adding the applet, just select the partition and it'll mount it
[02:30] <somerville32> someonww, It might be mounted already
[02:30] <somerville32> If so, it would be in /media/
[02:30] <someonww> mm... didn't see it
[02:32] <somerville32> Use the "Mount Devices" applet
[02:32] <somerville32> It is super easy
[02:36] <someonww> ohh
[02:36] <someonww> kewl
[02:36] <someonww> thanks
[02:36] <somerville32> np
[02:36] <somerville32> :)
[02:36] <someonww> well I just installed Xubuntu on a crappy 400Mhz VAIO lapdance
[02:36] <someonww> *laptop
[02:37] <someonww> actually I have no idea what "lapdance" stands for
[02:37] <somerville32> *256mb
[02:37] <someonww> this guy has 64M runs slow as hell, he will upgrade to 256RAM though
[02:37] <someonww> ram for that crapp is mad cheap
[02:38] <somerville32> :] 
[02:40] <someonww> somerville32, we have too similar nick... do you mind changing yours? ;-)
[02:40] <somerville32> Yes, I would
[02:40] <somerville32> lol
[02:40] <somerville32> I've used this nick for 9 years
[02:41] <MagicFab> i want a VAIO lapdance too
[02:42] <MagicFab> 192MB here
[02:42] <somerville32> :D
[03:26] <j1mc> hi all
[03:27] <somerville32> Hello! :)
[03:27] <j1mc> hi somerville32 :)
[03:28] <j1mc> just kinda came on here to give mad props to the new xubuntu-user mailing list.  kinda get the word out or something.
[03:29] <j1mc> hopefully get some regular users to use it.
[03:29] <somerville32> :)
[03:29] <somerville32> Indeed
[03:29] <j1mc> thanks for your response to my post there, by the way.
[03:29] <j1mc> i'm downloading the alternate install cd now.
[03:30] <j1mc> i didn't know that there were nightlies available for test, and had only tested herd 1, and it did nothing.
[03:30] <j1mc> i mean, it wouldn't even install.
[03:31] <somerville32> lol
[03:41] <j1mc> somerville32, if i do a test like the one in the link you provided in your message to the xubuntu-users mailing list, where can i post/share the test results?
[03:41] <somerville32> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/testing/Xubuntu
[03:42] <somerville32> !testing
[03:42] <ubotu> For information on how to help test the next release of Xubuntu and for the results matrix, please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/testing/Xubuntu
[03:42] <somerville32> :)
[03:43] <j1mc> so, basically, the checkbox things are just to help you record your own progress, and then if something doesn't work . . .
[03:44] <j1mc> then you check and see if there's a bug report on it already . . .
[03:44] <j1mc> and go from there.
[03:44] <j1mc> got it.  :)
[03:44] <somerville32> Well, make sure to mark if it is successful too
[03:44] <j1mc> do you actually submit the successful / unsuccessful report somewhere, though?  i don't see where you'd do that.
[03:45] <j1mc> ah, it's a wiki . . . so i can edit it??
[03:45] <j1mc> edit that page you put up?
[03:46] <j1mc> (sorry, i'm being a little slow)
[03:50] <jack_> hi... is there a way to easily change from xubuntu to ubuntu.. or just run the ubuntu install disk and have it format the drive?
[03:53] <j1mc> i think that you can just run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, but others on here can confirm.
[03:54] <jack_> well
[03:55] <jack_> if i d/l just normal ubuntu and install it normally having it format the drive.. there won't be problems right?
[03:55] <somerville32> IT'll remove Xubuntu and all your data on the disk
[03:56] <somerville32> j1mc: You would file a bug report and then add it to the reported bugs at the end
[03:56] <jack_> ok
[03:56] <jack_> thats fine.
[03:56] <jack_> thanks
[03:57] <jack_> by the way
[03:57] <jack_> will it run ok? laptop running p3 256 ram
[03:57] <somerville32> <-- P2 333mhz w/ 256mb of ram
[03:58] <jack_> hehe
[03:58] <jack_> yeah
[03:58] <jack_> that sucks bro
[03:59] <jack_> my windows box is amazing
[03:59] <jack_> but i use this at work
[03:59] <jack_> my windows box lol
[03:59] <somerville32> :]

[03:59] <jack_> O
[03:59] <jack_> im not kidding
[03:59] <jack_> <3
[04:00] <j1mc> jack_, i have a p3 800 w/ 256.  you'll find that xubuntu will run faster on something like yours than ubuntu, but ubuntu iwll work.
[04:00] <somerville32> Xubuntu works too :P
[04:00] <jack_> ok.
[04:01] <jack_> i want something that looks ourty
[04:01] <jack_> purty*
[04:01] <somerville32> I think Xubuntu looks purty
[04:01] <somerville32> :] 
[04:01] <jack_> lol
[04:02] <jack_> my roomate is a perl dev on unix for sun

[04:08] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> anyone alive?
[04:09] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> anyoneee??
[04:10] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> hi
[04:10] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> hi jester
[04:10] <Jester45> hi
[04:10] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> can i ask u some questions regarding xubuntu?
[04:10] <Jester45> anyone hear about the 11 month baby behind put in an oven?
[04:10] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> how do i draw out the devicfe manager for linux systems?
[04:10] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> device*
[04:10] <Jester45> sure
[04:11] <Jester45> like to look at network cards video cards ? or disc drives
[04:11] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> yes.
[04:12] <Jester45> try lspci
[04:12] <Jester45> or lspci -v for more details and -vv for even more
[04:13] <cellofellow> hi
[04:13] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> yes it works. thank you jester! and yes i have heard abt the baby int the oven thing lol. what about it?
[04:13] <Jester45> depending on what you have installed you can go to the fce menu then to system then disc and that shows hardrives and cd drives
[04:14] <Jester45> its so sad what people do
[04:14] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> yeap indeed.
[04:14] <Jester45> should of fought the dad or somthing not the baby
[04:15] <somerville32> jester45: -offtopic :)
[04:15] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> lol. just a different approach for revenging.
[04:15] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> oops :S
[04:15] <somerville32> :)
[04:15] <Jester45> o come on somerville32 i helped him
[04:16] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> yeah he did somerville32. :P
[04:16] <somerville32> and now you can help him find #xubuntu-offtopic :)
[04:16] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> oh if u dont mind, i have another question
[04:16] <somerville32> Sure
[04:16] <somerville32> Ask away :)
[04:16] <Jester45> ok
[04:16] <Jester45> :)] 
[04:17] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> what sort of programs for security like firewall etc is good for linux? are there any products specially made for linux?
[04:17] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> norton? etc..?
[04:17] <Jester45> linux has builtin firewall
[04:17] <Jester45> !firewall
[04:17] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[04:18] <cellofellow> ClamAV if you insist on antivirus.
[04:18] <Jester45> most antivirus for linux scans for windows virus so you dont spread them
[04:19] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> i see. is this clamAV for retail or open source?
[04:19] <cellofellow> OSS.
[04:19] <cellofellow> I use Gmail so email scanners don't work.
[04:19] <cellofellow> Above you mentioned norton. I think it
[04:20] <cellofellow> 's so funny when people expect that big-time software vendors care about little Linux.(desktops anyway.)
[04:20] <cellofellow> (I've seen Grisoft AVG for RedHat.)
[04:21] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> ha ha yeah i suppose.
[04:21] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> anyway guys thanks a lot for your help.
[04:21] <aslkmsadlkmdsa> gotta run now... till then. take care and god bl;ess
[04:21] <cellofellow> you're more likely to be hacked or rooted Jester.
[04:22] <cellofellow> I still keep a NAT between me and the internet.
[04:22] <cellofellow> if I had a mobile laptop, I'd enable a firewall, at least when I'm in a public hotspot.
[04:23] <Jester45> yes i by-passed the NAT
[04:23] <cellofellow> you're crazy. I'm gonna brute-force your box and show you.
[04:23] <somerville32> tsk tsk
[04:23] <somerville32> :P
[04:24] <somerville32> I just rewrote the help page on the Xubuntu website
[04:24] <somerville32> Go check it out: http://xubuntu.org/help
[04:24] <cellofellow> I see the website still has little margins and Dapper-style colors and logos.
[04:25] <cellofellow> Didn't we decide on something fresher in the last real meeting?
[04:25] <Jester45> silly cellofellow i will just reinstall
[04:25] <Jester45> when the next version coming out
[04:25] <cellofellow> better encrypt your most important stuff.
[04:26] <somerville32> Stop guys
[04:26] <cellofellow> 7.04 == April 07
[04:26] <cellofellow> ok cody
[04:26] <Jester45> its somerville32 not cody
[04:27] <somerville32> cellofellow: That stuff won't happen until I get shell access (which has been approved by Canonical, just waiting for the details)
[04:27] <cellofellow> password huh?
[04:27] <Jester45> with shell access can you run anything from terminal
[04:28] <cellofellow> well, I see canonical eats there own dog food. The website is running on Ubuntu Server.
[04:28] <Jester45> why not
[04:28] <cellofellow> Oh, I thought maybe it was hosted somewhere.
[04:28] <cellofellow> I guess I was wrong.
[04:28] <cellofellow> somerville32: nice IRC section
[04:29] <somerville32> Thanks :] 
[04:29] <subzero800> anyone: Im using an old thinkpad, and when i try to boot, after a while it just goes blank with blinking cursor\
[04:29] <Jester45> whats it say; Dont under any reason listen to Jester45 and/or do offtopic chat in ontopic channel
[04:30] <Jester45> subzero800: can you type stuff?
[04:30] <cellofellow> subzero800: booting from a CD?
[04:30] <subzero800> anyone:no, actually now its giving me device errors on device hdc
[04:30] <subzero800> Buffer I/O errors
[04:30] <cellofellow> sounds like trouble with hdc, your cd drive.
[04:31] <somerville32> hdc isn't always your cd drive
[04:31] <somerville32> hdc is my /
[04:31] <Jester45> ok my usb drives arent showing ondesktop and not on the Thunar list
[04:31] <cellofellow> hda1 is my /, hdd1 is my /home
[04:31] <Jester45> any reason why?
[04:31] <cellofellow> hdc is DVD
[04:31] <subzero800> hdc on a pentium 2 :-) lol
[04:32] <subzero800> I dont think its going to boot
[04:32] <cellofellow> Jester45: I figured out if I had a /dev file usually associated with USB drives in fstab, they won't show in the desktop.
[04:32] <somerville32> subzero800, Check the cd-rom's integrity
[04:32] <somerville32> !integrity | subzero800
[04:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about integrity - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:32] <somerville32> Hmm
[04:32] <cellofellow> !anything
[04:32] <somerville32> !search iso
[04:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about anything - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:32] <ubotu> Found: torrents,mini.iso,dvdiso,.iso,loopback,burners,midi,miniiso,iso,burniso
[04:32] <somerville32> !iso
[04:32] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning. Burning .iso files: see !burn
[04:33] <subzero800> I think the disk is fine, i think its this computer
[04:33] <somerville32> subzero800, Best to check the disk
[04:33] <subzero800> k
[04:33] <somerville32> There is a "check disk" option at boot
[04:33] <cellofellow> subzero800: have another CD drive hanging around?
[04:33] <cellofellow> if it's not the disk
[04:33] <subzero800> nope
[04:34] <cellofellow> oh, darnit. I do and I'd send it to you if I could.
[04:34] <subzero800> its a laptop anyways
[04:34] <Jester45> cellofellow: i dont undersand you
[04:34] <cellofellow> oh,yeah.
[04:34] <cellofellow> who does, jester?
[04:34] <somerville32> Jester45, Are you on Feisty, Edgy, or Dapper?
[04:35] <Jester45> edgy
[04:38] <cellofellow> anybody know of a tax-form program for linux similar to TurboTax?
[04:39] <Jester45> wine = turbotax
[04:39] <Jester45> +
[04:39] <cellofellow> that doesn't cost $40.
[04:39] <cellofellow> 'sides, I hate wine
[04:40] <cellofellow> so, there aren't ANY tax programs?
[04:42] <Jester45> none that i know
[04:42] <cellofellow> well, that doesn't meen there aren't any. I'll try seaching.
[04:49] <jack_> hi do you guys know  how to install ubuntu from xubuntu isnt there a command??? or do you acually have to d/l ubuntu.
[04:49] <cellofellow> install ubuntu-desktop will give you gnombe
[04:49] <cellofellow> gnome*
[04:49] <cellofellow> kubuntu-desktop for kde
[04:50] <jack_> so how do i do that?
[04:50] <quad3d> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:50] <cellofellow> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:50] <jack_> ok
[04:50] <jack_> thanks
[04:52] <Jester45> and if you dont want xubuntu you can use "sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove"
[04:52] <somerville32> !software | jack_
[04:52] <ubotu> jack_: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents and !Offline
[04:52] <Jester45> shoulw remove most
[04:54] <jack_> thanks for the help i was d/l ubuntu from the site was just gonna format the disk but the d/l froze at 96%.. lol
[04:56] <Jester45> np
[04:56] <Jester45> cellofellow: so what where you talking about /dev anbd usb drives
[04:58] <cellofellow> if you put, say, something to do with /dev/sda1 which is for USB drives on my system in fstab, it'll break the little udev/hald thing that makes those icons appear. From experience. :)
[04:59] <Jester45> so how do i fix this
[05:00] <cellofellow> no idea.
[05:01] <cellofellow> are they creating /dev files when you plug in?
[05:01] <Jester45> not sure
[05:01] <Jester45> how do i know
[05:02] <cellofellow> ls -l /dev/sd*
[05:02] <cellofellow> if you don't have sata/scsi drives, should only return something if the usb drives are being detected.
[05:02] <Jester45> ok but how do i know what one
[05:02] <Jester45> ok
[05:02] <cellofellow> lsusb
[05:02] <cellofellow> I dunno
[05:03] <Jester45> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 062a:0102 Creative Labs
[05:03] <Jester45> Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[05:03] <Jester45> for lsusb
[05:03] <cellofellow> any files in /dev ?
[05:03] <Jester45> im using a usb hub one one
[05:04] <Jester45> nothing with /dev/sd
[05:04] <cellofellow> maybe that's the problem, though I don't think it should be.
[05:04] <Jester45> it worked b4
[05:04] <cellofellow> * included?
[05:05] <Jester45> the only things with s is
[05:05] <cellofellow> is udev even running?
[05:06] <Jester45> shm snapshot snd sndstat stderr stdin stdout
[05:06] <Jester45> yes it is
[05:07] <cellofellow> what about hald?
[05:07] <Jester45> a few of them
[05:07] <cellofellow> :/
[05:07] <cellofellow> I have no idea what to do.
[05:08] <cellofellow> Do CD's show on the desktop?
[05:08] <cellofellow> BRB
[05:08] <Jester45> yes they do
[05:09] <Jester45> my ipod works on the same port
[05:11] <cellofellow> well, you got me.
[05:11] <Jester45> is there a way to get to the drives without the icons?
[05:12] <cellofellow> if there's a /dev file, then you just mount it.
[05:12] <Jester45> what one
[05:12] <Jester45> i dont know these things
[05:12] <cellofellow> sd**
[05:12] <cellofellow> like my USB Zip drive is sda for the drive, and sda4 for the disk.
[05:14] <Jester45> ok
[05:20] <Jester45> well
[05:21] <Jester45> thats stupid i guess i will wait from someone else
[05:21] <Jester45> thanks for help
[05:23] <MagicFab> what is the difference between ubuntu 6.06 and 6.06.1 ?
[05:24] <somerville32> MagicFab: 6.06 is the original release while 6.06.1 has updated packages
[05:24] <MagicFab> I know, but which ones :)
[05:24] <cellofellow> seeing as Dapper will stick with us for a while yet, we may see a 6.06.2 and onward.
[05:24] <somerville32> We will see 6.06.2
[05:25] <somerville32> And relatively soon
[05:25] <somerville32> MagicFab: all kinds of stuff really
[05:28] <MagicFab> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/releasenotes/606 doesn't mention it
[05:33] <spierepf> Greetings.
[05:33] <cellofellow> :)
[05:34] <spierepf> I'm looking for some help with gdm on xubuntu.
[05:34] <cellofellow> well, what is it?
[05:35] <spierepf> I'm trying to run vnc so that it presents a gdmgreeter.
[05:35] <cellofellow> oh. I've heard VNC can do that, but I use XDMCP instead.
[05:35] <spierepf> The problem is that the greeter closes itself before getting presented. I'm not sure why.
[05:38] <spierepf> I've only used XDMCP on local networks.
[05:38] <cellofellow> oh, if you want Internet, then yeah, VNC or X over SSH
[05:39] <cellofellow> dunno about getting a GDM Greeter when connecting with VNC though. Never tried that.
[05:39] <grumpymole> spierepf: are you on the latest fiesty?
[05:40] <spierepf> no, I'm on edgy.
[05:41] <grumpymole> ok, there is a bug on fiesty (not sure if it affects others) where xvnc4server shuts down immediately on connecting
[05:42] <grumpymole> bug #78282
[05:42] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 78282 in vnc4 "vnc4server does not start Desktop environment after security update" [High,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/78282
[05:42] <MagicFab> ok found the announce. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2006-August/000088.html
[05:44] <grumpymole> spierepf: not sure if the security update also went to edgy
[05:45] <grumpymole> spierepf: just checked the bug - it also affects edgy.
[05:45] <grumpymole> if you are up-to-date on edgy then you would have also received the vnc4server update a few days ago
[05:46] <spierepf> Hmmm. That could be it.

[05:48] <somerville32> :D
[05:48] <somerville32> grumpymole: Are you a Ubuntu member yet?
[05:48] <grumpymole> no
[05:49] <somerville32> You should become one just so that you can add your blog to Ubuntu Planet
[05:49] <somerville32> lol
[05:54] <cellofellow> no cody got netsplit'ed
[05:55] <somerville32> !netsplit
[05:55] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[05:55] <somerville32> :)
[05:55] <cellofellow> oh, I didn't notice it only lasted a second.
[06:04] <spierepf> vnc and gdm, like sweet sweet candy!
[06:06] <cellofellow> oooh. My State offers a free Java course online. Should I take it? (I have 0 highschool credit, period. May as well get something.)
[06:16] <somerville32> As in -offtopic
[06:16] <cellofellow> oh, whatever. No one cares and hasn't answered.
[06:16] <somerville32> I wanna answer ;] 
[06:16] <cellofellow> oh
[06:35] <Ro_Vai> whats the command to launch the home folder from a terminal/
[06:35] <Ro_Vai> ?
[06:44] <cellofellow> thunar /home/yourname
[06:45] <Ro_Vai> thanks
[07:08] <somerville32> Ro_Vai: If you play to use it in a script, you can use the HOME variable
[07:08] <somerville32> ie. Thunar $HOME

[07:30] <somerville32> Morning
[07:31] <Ro_Vai> I love this time of the morning

[08:48] <Ro_Vai> how do i view other computers on my network while in xubuntu/
[08:48] <Ro_Vai> ?
[08:49] <somerville32> !samba | Ro_Vai
[08:49] <ubotu> Ro_Vai: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:49] <maxamillion> Ro_Vai: define "other computers" .. how would you like to view them? files, printers, devices, etc. and what protocol are you using to do so? samba, nfs, ftp, etc?
[08:49] <maxamillion> ... well that works too
[08:50] <somerville32> :)
[08:53] <somerville32> !alternative-support-#xubuntu is <reply> For alternative Xubuntu support options, please see http://xubuntu.org/help
[08:53] <somerville32> hmmm
[08:53] <somerville32> ubotu is broken
[08:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is broken - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:53] <Ro_Vai> meh i just had to reconfigure it in nautilus
[08:54] <maxamillion> Ro_Vai: you run gnome?

[08:56] <Ro_Vai> yep i'm loving xfce and beryl
[08:58] <somerville32> :)
[08:58] <somerville32> Ro_Vai, send us a screenie
[08:59] <Ro_Vai> any effect inparticular/
[08:59] <Ro_Vai> ?
[08:59] <somerville32> I dunno
[08:59] <somerville32> I can't run beryl
[08:59] <Ro_Vai> how about the rotating cube with a transparent movie with the rain going?
[09:01] <maxamillion> Ro_Vai: i run beryl at work because i am the only linux user in the office and its fun to be like "look what else windows can't do" .... also did that with project looking glass the day after it went stable
[09:01] <Ro_Vai> lol
[09:02] <maxamillion> looking glass is cool, but if i didn't have the beast workstation i have at the office i would never be able to run it ...
[09:02] <Ro_Vai> I run it to oppose my mac user god complex friends
[09:02] <somerville32> ro_vai: I don't think it is working
[10:14] <somerville32> Ro_Vai, got it
[10:17] <Ro_Vai> cool
[10:17] <Ro_Vai> so what do you think?
[10:18] <somerville32> Pretty crazy stuff, lol
[10:19] <Ro_Vai> yep yep

[11:11] <ubotu> I'll remember that, somerville32
[11:13] <somerville32> Hi :)
[11:13] <somerville32> Maximilian1st, Ready to test out Herd 2? :)
[11:17] <Maximilian1st> somerville32, Hi, you are confusing me with maxamillion
[11:17] <somerville32> No. maxamillion just went to bed.
[11:17] <somerville32> Maximilian1st, Are you interested in helping test Herd 2?
[11:17] <Maximilian1st> What is herd2???
[11:17] <somerville32> It is an alpha release of Feisty Fawn, Xubuntu 7.04
[11:17] <gnomefreak> Maximilian1st: alpha 2 feisty
[11:17] <somerville32> !testing | Maximilian1st
[11:17] <ubotu> Maximilian1st: 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
[11:18] <Maximilian1st> I tried updating the kernel to feisty but it hanged and I had to re-install. I use a laptop.
[11:20] <Maximilian1st> Maybe I did not go the official way of upgrading my system. I changed the sources file and it updated plenty of files...
[11:20] <somerville32> There is an ISO you can burn and test
[11:20] <somerville32> See that link for more info on the different tests you can do
[11:21] <Maximilian1st> I am just looking at it...
[11:23] <Maximilian1st> there is a typo after "Getting the test CD
[11:23] <Maximilian1st> If the task you have select involves"
[11:23] <Maximilian1st> should be selected.
[11:24] <somerville32> Feel free to fix it :)
[11:26] <Maximilian1st> But I have no login. You are Codysomerville?
[11:28] <somerville32> Yup
[11:28] <somerville32> Maximilian1st, You can get a login by registering a launchpad account.
[11:30] <somerville32> typo fixed
[11:31] <Maximilian1st> This is no live CD.
[11:31] <Maximilian1st> It involves installing a brand new system
[11:31] <somerville32> You don't need to do all the steps if you don't want to
[11:32] <somerville32> You can just test to see if the live cd boots and goes to a desktop
[11:46] <Maximilian1st> OK, I start the downloading and go for a walk.
[11:47] <somerville32> :)
[12:37] <toxik`> Can I remove the silly right click on the desktop? I want the XFCE menu to pop up
[12:37] <somerville32> Yes
[12:37] <toxik`> How?
[12:38] <somerville32> Applications > Settings > Desktop Settings
[12:38] <somerville32> or right click the desktop and click desktop settings
[12:38] <somerville32> lol
[12:38] <toxik`> Yeah I looked there, couldn't find it
[12:38] <toxik`> Oh nevermind
[12:38] <toxik`> Silly me
[12:38] <toxik`> Thank you
[12:39] <somerville32> np

[12:43] <toxik`> :)
[12:43] <toxik`> Is Quake3 in apt?
[12:43] <somerville32> The engine might be
[12:44] <toxik`> Oh :-/
[12:44] <toxik`> Portage has ioQuake3
[12:44] <somerville32> Not the entire thing
[12:44] <somerville32> It would be illegal
[12:45] <toxik`> No, it misses pak0
[12:45] <toxik`> Of course
[12:45] <toxik`> ioQuake3 doesn't come with pak0 so :-)
[12:46] <somerville32> I know there is a how-to on the wiki
[12:46] <toxik`> I see, I was just pondering if it was as easy as with portage, but I'll go for a manual install for now, thanks again!
[12:47] <somerville32> !quake
[12:47] <ubotu> Quake runs natively under linux see http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/quake4/ for details
[12:47] <somerville32> !quake3
[12:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about quake3 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:47] <somerville32> hmm
[12:47] <MagicFab> hey
[12:57] <toxik`> Hm, I think I screwed my user's .bashrc up, where is the default one?

[03:19] <Ro_Vai> hey this is going to sound really stupid but to get to your cd rom drive from a terminal its cd /media/cdrom right?
[03:20] <gabkdll1> Ro_Vai: that is correct
[03:21] <Ro_Vai> ok then i'm having problems accessing my drive
[03:21] <Ro_Vai> ls just kicks me back to the command line
[03:23] <gabkdll1> I don't really follow you. When you are working with the program "Terminal", everything you do is on the command line. What do you mean?
[03:24] <gabkdll1> When you do: "cd /media/cdrom" , does the prompt tell you that you have in fact moved to the directory /media/cdrom/ ?
[03:24] <Ro_Vai> ls is sopposed to list whats inside of your current directory but mine returns nothing
[03:24] <Ro_Vai> and yes
[03:24] <gabkdll1> Ah, you are trying to do "ls /media/cdrom" ?
[03:25] <Ro_Vai> no
[03:25] <Ro_Vai> cd /media/cdrom
[03:25] <Ro_Vai> then ls
[03:25] <gabkdll1> Is there something in the drive ? :)
[03:25] <Ro_Vai> yes
[03:25] <somerville32> Is the cd-rom mounted?
[03:25] <Ro_Vai> i can access it and view the files from the pretty little icon thats on my desktop
[03:26] <Ro_Vai> so i'm guessing yes
[03:26] <somerville32> type: sudo mount /media/cdrom0
[03:26] <Ro_Vai> mount: special device /dev/hdc does not exist
[03:26] <Ro_Vai> is what i got
[03:30] <gabkdll1> Ro_Vai: do you have more than one optical drive?
[03:32] <gabkdll1> you can do "df" to see what is mounted where
[03:33] <Ro_Vai> no i do not
[03:33] <Ro_Vai> and thanks for the df command
[05:55] <jonty_rocks3> help
[05:56] <jonty_rocks3> is there an xubuntu driver for Speedtouch 330 USB?
[06:01] <jonty_rocks3> anyone?
[06:03] <gabkdll1> jonty_rocks3: hi
[06:04] <jonty_rocks3> hello!
[06:04] <jonty_rocks3> is there an xubuntu driver for Speedtouch 330?
[06:04] <gabkdll1> the manufacturer says that there is linux support through an open source driver
[06:04] <gabkdll1> http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/supuser.htm
[06:05] <jonty_rocks3> i downloaded one but when it extracted it just said extracting for 4 hours =S
[06:06] <jonty_rocks3> is it thhe firmware?
[06:06] <gabkdll1> are you running xubuntu now, or just thinking about it
[06:06] <gabkdll1> ?
[06:07] <jonty_rocks3> am running on my laptop
[06:08] <jonty_rocks3> this my pc
[06:09] <gabkdll1> I suspect that if the open source driver is at all stable, it probably was included with the default *ubuntu kernel
[06:09] <jonty_rocks3> well i plugged it in and nothing happened
[06:10] <gabkdll1> did you check dmesg ?
[06:10] <jonty_rocks3> what>
[06:10] <jonty_rocks3> ?
[06:10] <jonty_rocks3> i'm a noob =(
[06:10] <gabkdll1> run "dmesg" in a Terminal
[06:11] <jonty_rocks3> one sec
[06:11] <gabkdll1> it will generate a lot of output
[06:11] <jonty_rocks3> i cant cause i only got 1 modem
[06:11] <jonty_rocks3> which i am using
[06:11] <jonty_rocks3> will try later thnx
[06:11] <jonty_rocks3> btw which is better? Debian or Slackware?
[06:11] <gabkdll1> also, maybe you need to reboot
[06:12] <jonty_rocks3> also i get a load of lines at the bottom of thhe screen
[06:12] <gabkdll1> from what I hear, Slackware is more involved, but you learn a lot along the way
[06:13] <gabkdll1> "dmesg | tail" would probably have sufficed
[06:13] <gabkdll1> dmesg is for viewing kernel messages
[06:13] <jonty_rocks3> what about the lines on the screen it is so annoying
[06:15] <gabkdll1> you get those lines all the time ?
[06:15] <jonty_rocks3> yup
[06:15] <jonty_rocks3> when on external display it is fine
[06:15] <jonty_rocks3> just on laptop
[06:15] <gabkdll1> and just since you installed linux?
[06:15] <MDCore> hey all; I'm trying out xubuntu on parallel with kubuntu. it doesn't do this in kde but in xfce it seems to be messing with shift-punctuation e.g. shift-' and shift-"
[06:15] <jonty_rocks3> yep
[06:15] <MDCore> how do I turn it off ?
[06:15] <jonty_rocks3> windows was fine
[06:16] <jonty_rocks3> gabkdll1 shall i take a photo and send u it?
[06:16] <jonty_rocks3> screen*
[06:16] <gabkdll1> sure
[06:16] <jonty_rocks3> how i do that?
[06:16] <jonty_rocks3> lol i'm nooooob
[06:18] <jonty_rocks3> found it
[06:18] <MDCore> any ideas ?
[06:19] <jonty_rocks3> MDCore i'm a noob soz
[06:19] <MDCore> np
[06:25] <jonty_rocks3> gabkdll1 just copying to pc now
[06:25] <gabkdll1> jonty_rocks3: I am anxious to see if those lines even show up in the screenshot
[06:25] <jonty_rocks3> they do
[06:25] <jonty_rocks3> i checked
[06:25] <jonty_rocks3> grrr
[06:25] <jonty_rocks3> will have to send via email
[06:25] <jonty_rocks3> my dcc crap
[06:25] <gabkdll1> you can't post it publically? I am actually not a xubuntu developer or anything like that
[06:25] <jonty_rocks3> yes one sec
[06:26] <gabkdll1> MDCore: you mean, when you press Shift-' or Shift-" , nothing happens?
[06:27] <MDCore> gabkdll1: Yes.. until I press another key. If I press ' then ' again I get 
[06:27] <jonty_rocks3> ok here is the screenshot: http://freespace.virgin.net/jonty.oglesby/Screenshot.png
[06:27] <MDCore> but if I get press ' then <space> I get the correct character.
[06:27] <MDCore> It as if my keyboard has decided to become international all of a sudden.
[06:28] <jonty_rocks3> gabkdll1 u see the lines on screen?
[06:28] <gabkdll1> MDCore: sounds like deadkeys behavior.
[06:28] <gabkdll1> jonty_rocks3: yes, those lines are scary
[06:28] <jonty_rocks3> yup its anooying
[06:28] <jonty_rocks3> can i get rid of em?
[06:28] <MDCore> gabkdll1: ok ?? how do I turn it off?
[06:29] <jonty_rocks3> go into keyboard settings and change key mapping?
[06:29] <jonty_rocks3> key map code thing
[06:29] <gabkdll1> jonty_rocks3: I am not an expert, but my guess would be that the X11 device driver is not playing nice with your hardware
[06:29] <jonty_rocks3> can i get round that?
[06:30] <gabkdll1> jonty_rocks3: can you check which driver you are using in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:31] <jonty_rocks3> one sec plz
[06:31] <gabkdll1> !xconfig | MDCore
[06:31] <ubotu> MDCore: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". To configure only the driver and resolution, type: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh".
[06:32] <jonty_rocks3> erf when i scroll down the lines scroll up page too =(
[06:32] <MDCore> I dunno if it is an X thing. When I in KDE I don have this problem...
[06:32] <MDCore> don't
[06:32] <gabkdll1> that might be useful to you too, jonty_rocks3
[06:32] <jonty_rocks3> going to second output brb
[06:32] <jonty_rocks3> cant see what u say for 2 mins
[06:32] <gabkdll1> MDCore: that is a good point
[06:34] <TheSheep> looks like a problem with the graphics driver :/
[06:35] <jonty_rocks3> back
[06:35] <jonty_rocks3> right let me type what it says:
[06:35] <jonty_rocks3> Section "Screen"
[06:35] <jonty_rocks3> Identifier "Defualt Screen"
[06:36] <jonty_rocks3> Device "Trident Microsystems Cyber 9525"
[06:36] <jonty_rocks3> Monitor "Generic Monitor"
[06:36] <jonty_rocks3> etc etc
[06:36] <jonty_rocks3> now if i got in a low res (displays in middle of screen) lines disappear
[06:36] <jonty_rocks3> "800x600" is high res wit lines
[06:37] <gabkdll1> jonty_rocks3: which driver is listed under Section "Device" ?
[06:38] <jonty_rocks3> Trident Microsystems Cyber 9525

[06:39] <jonty_rocks3> BusID "PCI:0:4:0"
[06:39] <jonty_rocks3> its got 2.5mb graphics mem too
[06:39] <jonty_rocks3> is it somet to do with refresh?

[07:12] <jonty_rocks3> can i change refresh rate from 56 to 60?
[07:13] <jonty_rocks3> i think that will solve it
[07:14] <jonty_rocks3> can i????
[07:14] <grazie> you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but v.careful
[07:14] <jonty_rocks3> hi Maximilian1st
[07:14] <jonty_rocks3> grazie wht i change?
[07:15] <grazie> can you paste the file?
[07:15] <jonty_rocks3> of...
[07:15] <jonty_rocks3> omg that would take hours
[07:15] <jonty_rocks3> its on my laptop lol
[07:16] <jonty_rocks3> i'll copy it onto memory stick
[07:16] <grazie> /etc/X11/xorg.conf. How big is it?
[07:16] <Maximilian1st> grazie, about xorg, can I output the log on a different screen like F9? Where is the file that initiates the log file for xorg?
[07:16] <jonty_rocks3> grazie just chhecking now...
[07:16] <Maximilian1st> jonty_rocks3, that file can not be that big...
[07:17] <grazie> Maximilian1st: probably but I don't know how
[07:17] <jonty_rocks3> i mean to type out
[07:17] <jonty_rocks3> !pastebin
[07:17] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:18] <jonty_rocks3> gonna do a pastebin
[07:18] <jonty_rocks3> of it
[07:18] <Maximilian1st> I already found out, by googling of course, how to redirect the /var/log/messages to F8, now I would like to do the same for the xorg.log file...
[07:18] <Maximilian1st> No someone here told me where to check...
[07:19] <Maximilian1st> /etc/syslog.conf
[07:19] <grazie> Maximilian1st: good. I thought I remembered a similar discussion
[07:21] <Maximilian1st> This is quite a good option... Having the xorg.log would also be nice...
[07:22] <jonty_rocks3> grrr i cant copy it
[07:22] <jonty_rocks3> it is just blank file!!!
[07:22] <jonty_rocks3> will take hours to type it all out lol
[07:23] <Maximilian1st> this seems quite impossible to me. Sorry I came later in the discussion. Are you trying to copy your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and you mean it is not possible?
[07:23] <jonty_rocks3> yes i trying to copy it to my pc
[07:23] <jonty_rocks3> so i can paste here
[07:23] <jonty_rocks3> my laptop (xubuntu) cannot access internet
[07:23] <jonty_rocks3> but my pc (windows) can
[07:23] <Maximilian1st> Don't you have a usb stick?
[07:23] <jonty_rocks3> yes
[07:24] <Maximilian1st> So?
[07:24] <jonty_rocks3> i just transfered but came out on pc as nothing
[07:24] <jonty_rocks3> and empty file
[07:24] <Maximilian1st> Are you using Xfce?
[07:24] <jonty_rocks3> yeees
[07:24] <Maximilian1st> Obviously.
[07:25] <jonty_rocks3> soooo....
[07:25] <Maximilian1st> plug the stick in and copy to it, when copied, verify the file in thunar. If all is ok, right click on the USB stick icon and choose unmount.
[07:25] <jonty_rocks3> oh
[07:25] <jonty_rocks3> i didnt unmount
[07:25] <jonty_rocks3> i pulled it out
[07:25] <Maximilian1st> It should work, if I'm not mixing svn Xfce...
[07:26] <jonty_rocks3> ah brill
[07:26] <Maximilian1st> Well you should, unmount. Linux is not windows. Linux, sometimes, waits before copying files to a volume, when you issue the unmount command, it suddenly urges the copy action.
[07:27] <somerville32> It occurs in Windows too ;]

[07:27] <Maximilian1st> Hi somerville32
[07:27] <somerville32> Hi :)
[07:27] <jonty_rocks3> hey somerville32
[07:27] <somerville32> Hiya jonty_rocks3
[07:28] <Maximilian1st> somerville32, Would you happen to know where the nifty, xubuntu modified, shutdown menu resides?
[07:28] <jonty_rocks3> u helped me mounting things =D
[07:28] <somerville32> hehe :D
[07:28] <Maximilian1st> And I helped him unmounting :-p
[07:28] <somerville32> Maximilian1st, Are you referring to the Xubuntu shutdown dialogue?
[07:29] <jonty_rocks3> ok here is the xorg.conf in pastebin form: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1193/
[07:29] <Maximilian1st> somerville32, Yep
[07:29] <somerville32> Maximilian1st, Are you looking for the source code?
[07:30] <jonty_rocks3> grazie
[07:30] <Maximilian1st> Not really, I installed svn Xfce and it replaced it with the standard Xfce shutdown menu and now I have lost the suspend and standby options
[07:30] <jonty_rocks3> grazie?!?!!
[07:32] <grazie> jonty_rocks3: back
[07:32] <j0nty> grrr
[07:33] <j0nty> stupid internet
[07:33] <j0nty> grazie http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1193/
[07:33] <j0nty> look there
[07:34] <grazie> j0nty: where did you get 56Hz from?
[07:34] <j0nty> idk it was auto set
[07:35] <grazie> config is 43-60
[07:36] <j0nty> can i change it to 60hz?
[07:36] <Maximilian1st> as grazie wrote, 43-60 will do
[07:36] <j0nty> but my refresh it wrong!
[07:36] <j0nty> i'm sure of it...
[07:37] <grazie> why do you think this?
[07:37] <Maximilian1st> Mine has
[07:37] <Maximilian1st> Option		"DPMS"
[07:38] <j0nty> grazie the screen was wierd on 98 and ME
[07:38] <j0nty> i increased refresh and it was fine
[07:38] <Maximilian1st> Is it a CRT monitor?
[07:38] <j0nty> laptop monitor
[07:38] <Maximilian1st> Option		"DPMS"
[07:38] <Maximilian1st> That'll do.
[07:38] <j0nty> where?
[07:39] <j0nty> and what are those 		?
[07:39] <Maximilian1st> in the monitor section
[07:39] <grazie> lines 108-113
[07:39] <Maximilian1st> It chooses the best refresh for your monitor if you want.
[07:39] <Maximilian1st> Or is DPMS the standard one?
[07:39] <j0nty> ok tell me what to change and where
[07:39] <Maximilian1st> I'm not sure but it's safe
[07:40] <Maximilian1st> Option		"DPMS"
[07:40] <Maximilian1st> in the monitor section
[07:40] <Maximilian1st> Section "Monitor"
[07:40] <j0nty> [6:40pm]  <Maximilian1st> Option		"DPMS"
[07:40] <j0nty> is that right? 2 boxes?
[07:40] <j0nty> what are the 2 boxes?
[07:40] <Maximilian1st> j0nty, Option		"DPMS"
[07:40] <Maximilian1st> Oh, no two boxes, two tabs.
[07:40] <j0nty> i see 2 boxes between Option and "DPMS"
[07:41] <toxik`> j0nty: Those are tabs
[07:41] <j0nty> grrr
[07:41] <j0nty> oh
[07:41] <Maximilian1st> Well check your xorg.conf and figure it out...
[07:41] <j0nty> ok
[07:41] <j0nty> where i put it?
[07:41] <Maximilian1st> j0nty, Are you joking?
[07:41] <j0nty> where abouts in xorg.conf?
[07:41] <Maximilian1st> Section "Monitor"
[07:41] <j0nty> anywhere in there?
[07:42] <toxik`>  19:40:04 | .  Maximilian1st> in the monitor section
[07:42] <toxik`>  19:40:17 | .  Maximilian1st> Section "Monitor"
[07:42] <Maximilian1st> even grazie showed you the lines
[07:42] <j0nty> ok ok ok
[07:42] <Maximilian1st> Well sorry but...
[07:42] <Maximilian1st> Do we have to invent virtual hands to take yours in it?... joking :-p
[07:42] <j0nty> i'm a noob ffs
[07:43] <Maximilian1st> It's ok.
[07:43] <Maximilian1st> ffs?
[07:43] <toxik`> for fucks sake
[07:43] <j0nty> Option DPMS is already there
[07:43] <toxik`> j0nty: Being a newbie does not imply inability to read
[07:44] <j0nty> Section "Monitor"
[07:44] <j0nty> Identifier "Generic Monitor"
[07:44] <Maximilian1st> Then the screen already uses a good refresh rate for your monitor.
[07:44] <j0nty> Option "DPMS"
[07:44] <j0nty> well it displays CRAP
[07:44] <Maximilian1st> What do you mean by crap?
[07:44] <j0nty> lines
[07:45] <j0nty> bars not smoothed
[07:45] <j0nty> etc
[07:45] <Maximilian1st> This is not due to the refresh rate?!!!
[07:45] <j0nty> was on Win 98 and Win ME
[07:45] <Maximilian1st> this is probably due to the wrong driver used!
[07:45] <j0nty> gimme drivers
[07:45] <Maximilian1st> What card so you have?
[07:45] <Maximilian1st> gimme peace
[07:45] <Maximilian1st> What card so you have?
[07:45] <Maximilian1st> do you have?
[07:46] <gabkdll1> http://freespace.virgin.net/jonty.oglesby/Screenshot.png
[07:46] <j0nty> monitor is Trident Microsystems Cyber 9525 i dunno card =S
[07:46] <Maximilian1st> this card is CRAP!!!!
[07:46] <j0nty> its under "device
[07:46] <j0nty> innit
[07:46] <Maximilian1st> gabkdll1, are these lines moving?
[07:46] <j0nty> yes
[07:46] <j0nty> its my lines
[07:47] <j0nty> they are moving
[07:47] <Maximilian1st> what driver do you use?
[07:47] <j0nty> dunno
[07:47] <Maximilian1st> moving up and down the whole screen?
[07:47] <j0nty> no just where it is
[07:47] <j0nty> but moving accross
[07:47] <gabkdll1> j0nty: yes you do, you said you use the trident driver :P
[07:47] <Maximilian1st> trident
[07:47] <j0nty> oh yes
[07:48] <j0nty> that picture shows the screen rendered
[07:48] <j0nty> or whateva
[07:48] <j0nty> the actually screen in pixely
[07:48] <j0nty> type
[07:48] <toxik`> It's odd how you can actually screenshot it, that should be on a different level.
[07:48] <j0nty> ?
[07:49] <j0nty> i used the screenshot addon
[07:49] <Maximilian1st> j0nty, check this http://linux-on-laptops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=135
[07:49] <toxik`> Yes, but the actual rendering to your monitor isn't what you screenshot, you screenshot offscreen memory, AFAIK
[07:51] <jonty_rocks3> do i copy Modeline "1024x768" 65 1024 1032 1176 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync
[07:51] <jonty_rocks3> into Monitor section?
[07:52] <Maximilian1st> no
[07:52] <jonty_rocks3> ah wait
[07:52] <jonty_rocks3> this solution
[07:52] <jonty_rocks3> in terminal
[07:52] <jonty_rocks3> $ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:52] <jonty_rocks3> in the Section "Monitor" change the HorizSync and VertRefresh to:
[07:52] <jonty_rocks3> HorizSync 31.5-90.0
[07:52] <jonty_rocks3> VertRefresh 59.0-85.0
[07:53] <Maximilian1st> Is it the same laptop you have?
[07:53] <jonty_rocks3> nope but same graphics card
[07:54] <Maximilian1st> Before trying this out, have you tried hanging a standard monitor to it?
[07:54] <jonty_rocks3> yes it is fine on that
[07:54] <jonty_rocks3> fine on external monitor
[07:55] <Maximilian1st> maybe change the vertical sync to 75 in place of 85
[07:56] <jonty_rocks3> ok
[07:56] <Maximilian1st> This is quite dangerous and could harm your monitor...
[07:57] <mafu> Hello everybody. I installed xubuntu edgy and noticed that my resolution is 1680x1050 just fine, but it doesn't show up under settings->display settings. Should I report that somewhere?
[07:58] <Maximilian1st> mafu, It does report as default?!
[07:58] <mafu> Yes, exactly. Just default. But it doesn't show it. But maybe that's it?
[07:58] <Maximilian1st> Yes, that's it.
[07:59] <Maximilian1st> You probably don't have other resolution registered in your xorg.conf
[07:59] <Maximilian1st> jonty_rocks3, did your monitor fry?
[07:59] <jonty_rocks3> i cant change xorg.conf
[07:59] <Maximilian1st> you need to be root for this
[07:59] <jonty_rocks3> it says cannot open file to write
[07:59] <jonty_rocks3> omg
[07:59] <jonty_rocks3> how i get into root?
[07:59] <Maximilian1st> What has God to do with this?
[08:00] <mafu> Hehe
[08:00] <Maximilian1st> By reading the manual! When you want to drive a car you have to pass an exam for the driving license.
[08:00] <jonty_rocks3> comon u aint helping
[08:00] <jonty_rocks3> that sudo gedit doesnt work
[08:00] <Maximilian1st> jonty_rocks3, ?????????????????????????
[08:00] <jonty_rocks3> says sudo: gedit not a recognized command
[08:00] <somerville32> jonty_rocks3: Whats the problem?
[08:01] <Maximilian1st> sudo nano
[08:01] <jonty_rocks3> oh
[08:01] <somerville32> jonty_rocks3, That is because gedit is not installed
[08:01] <Maximilian1st> sudo mousepad
[08:01] <mafu> jonty_rocks3: you should really read man sudo, you'll have to use it a lot. :)
[08:01] <Maximilian1st> somerville32, I'm sorry, once more I jump out of my calm, but hey!?! This is clearly explained in the manual.
[08:02] <somerville32> Maximilian1st, What exactly is explained in the manual?
[08:02] <Maximilian1st> The sudo command!
[08:03] <Maximilian1st> Hi maxamillion
[08:03] <maxamillion> hello Maximilian1st
[08:03] <somerville32> Maximilian1st, We don't tell people to rtfm here ;]

[08:09] <Maximilian1st> jonty_rocks3, open the window, check that there is nobody outside and wipe that thing away!
[08:09] <Maximilian1st> jonty_rocks3, joking
[08:09] <Maximilian1st> jonty_rocks3, don't do that
[08:09] <jonty_rocks3> hum
[08:09] <Maximilian1st> jonty_rocks3, I know
[08:09] <jonty_rocks3> new refresh rate still shows lines.....
[08:10] <jonty_rocks3> brb
[08:10] <maxamillion> jarnos: did you see what i told you about the "autostarted applications" and to add it there? ... i ran into this problem before when i was running beryl at work, i assumed it had something to do with "breaking" the built in auto start of xscreensaver because beryl messes with alot of stuff
[08:11] <jarnos> maxamillion, it is not in the "autostarted applications" list, but it wasn't there before either, only update notifier has been.I might try to add it anyway.
[08:11] <jonty_rocks3> hum
[08:11] <Maximilian1st> jonty_rocks3, what laptop brand is it you are trying to install xubuntu on?
[08:11] <jonty_rocks3> Toshiba
[08:12] <Maximilian1st> model?
[08:12] <jonty_rocks3> Toshiba Satellite 4090CDS
[08:13] <maxamillion> jarnos: its not supposed to be in the autostarted applications list, you have to add it ... i was offering that as a work around until the bug is fixed
[08:15] <jarnos> maxamillion, ok, Do I have to restart to test it or is re-login enough?
[08:16] <mafu> Small problem here: in synaptic, I am trying to install the sun java jdk binaries. Now it prompts me to accept the license by hitting enter. Only problem: I can't.
[08:16] <mafu> Never mind
[08:16] <mafu> :)
[08:16] <mafu> I love my tab key
[08:16] <Maximilian1st> maxamillion, I'm a bit out of ideas about the jonty_rocks3 problem. He seems to have lines on his screen. http://freespace.virgin.net/jonty.oglesby/Screenshot.png
[08:17] <maxamillion> jarnos: re-login will suffice
[08:17] <somerville32> jonty_rocks3, Please disable your away notifier :)
[08:17] <jonty_rocks3> plus i am going for a shower
[08:17] <jarnos> maxamillion, OK, I'll try soon.
[08:17] <jonty_rocks3> could you be so kind and send me info to jonty.oglesby@virgin.net
[08:17] <somerville32> As for the lines of the screen, it looks like you need to upgrade your drivers
[08:17] <jonty_rocks3> if u find out a solution
[08:18] <somerville32> or switch to vesa
[08:18] <Maximilian1st> jonty_rocks3, It's not you but the problem with the laptop that stinks...
[08:18] <jonty_rocks3> somerville32 where can i get updated drivers?
[08:18] <jonty_rocks3> vesa?
[08:18] <somerville32> jonty_rocks3, What video card do you have?
[08:18] <Maximilian1st> jonty_rocks3, already try the vesa driver...
[08:18] <jonty_rocks3> Trident
[08:18] <Maximilian1st> trident
[08:19] <somerville32> jonty_rocks3, There are some stuff we can try but it might just be better to buy a new video card. Trident is old, isn't it?
[08:19] <Maximilian1st> He has Trident Microsystems Cyber 9525
[08:19] <jonty_rocks3> one sec i gonna reboot
[08:19] <Maximilian1st> It is old and CRAP!
[08:19] <somerville32> :D
[08:20] <jonty_rocks3> somerville32 its on loan from my next doorneighbor
[08:20] <Maximilian1st> He uses a laptop. I know because I also had trident chipset CG and it really is the lowest quality you can get
[08:20] <jonty_rocks3> 2.5mb =D
[08:20] <Maximilian1st> somerville32, is right, you should try the vesa driver.
[08:21] <jonty_rocks3> vesa driver?
[08:22] <Maximilian1st> You have to change that in the current kernel... But this surely sounds like chinese to you and I understand.
[08:22] <jonty_rocks3> step by step plz
[08:23] <Maximilian1st> http://purge.bash.sh/%7Ebredroll/satsite/
[08:23] <jonty_rocks3> could u send step by step to jonty.oglesby@virgin.net cause i really gotta go
[08:23] <jarnos> maxamillion, I'm back after logout and xscreensaver autostarted, thanks.
[08:23] <Maximilian1st> Wait one more minute.
[08:24] <somerville32> jonty_rocks3, you need to modify xorg.conf and select the vesa driver
[08:24] <somerville32> jonty_rocks3, or just do: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[08:25] <maxamillion> jarnos: no problem :)
[08:25] <jonty_rocks3> somerville32 last time i did dkpg thing loads of warnings and errors popped up
[08:26] <Maximilian1st> try what somerville32 suggested, to change the trident driver as vesa.
[08:26] <Maximilian1st> somerville32, are you a calm type?
[08:26] <somerville32> Yup :)
[08:27] <Maximilian1st> :-)

[09:14] <somerville32> C ya
[09:14] <somerville32> Hey ephemeros :)
[09:15] <ephemeros> ;)
[09:37] <Vilhelm1> what's the application I can change the appearance of KDE applications in XFCE? I don't have Kubuntu installed but I use amarok and konqueror though because they rule ok
[09:42] <somerville32> By installing Armorak and Konqueror, you've most likely pulled in lots of KDE dependencies
[09:43] <Vilhelm1> yes I've done
[09:44] <Vilhelm1> that's why I think I can change they look in XFCE with an application
[09:44] <Vilhelm1> but I don't know what it is
[09:45] <maxamillion> Vilhelm1: KDE applications are written in Qt, Xfce is written in GTK ... you won't be able to have the theme match exactly
[09:45] <Commander-Crowe> Hrm, I jsut figured out my problem
[09:46] <Commander-Crowe> my installation of linux on this computer will always fail if I format the HDD to EXT3
[09:46] <Commander-Crowe> whats the next best one?
[09:47] <somerville32> ext3 is good
[09:47] <somerville32> You want ext3
[09:48] <Commander-Crowe> somerville32 I can't
[09:48] <Vilhelm1> I know that but isn't it possible to change theme of Qt-based applications though? I don't mean it is possible to do with the same application I change the appearance of GTK-based ones after all
[09:49] <somerville32> Vilhelm1, I'm sure there is a file you can edit.
[09:49] <somerville32> You might ask in #kubuntu
[09:49] <maxamillion> i gott run ... work stuffs
[09:58] <lah> moko
[10:02] <somerville32> :)
[10:02] <somerville32> Hi lah
[11:11] <LOKadin> How can I get Dvorak left on my keyboard?
[11:11] <LOKadin> on Xubuntu
[11:11] <Jester45> dvorak?
[11:11] <LOKadin> I have pain in my right elbow so it hurts for me to type with that arm.
[11:12] <LOKadin> It's a keyboard layout.
[11:12] <Jester45> o
[11:12] <LOKadin> allows you to just type with your left hand
[11:13] <Jester45> thats weird but i guess if it hurts to use right then its a good idea
[11:13] <LOKadin> Would you know how I could go about installing it?
[11:13] <Jester45> no
[11:13] <Jester45> !dvorak
[11:13] <ubotu> dvorak is a keyboard layout that aims to be more comfortable and efficient alternative to the standard "QWERTY" pattern. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard
[11:14] <Jester45> thats no help
[11:14] <LOKadin> kk
[11:14] <Jester45> !info dvorak
[11:14] <ubotu> Package dvorak does not exist in any distro I know
[11:14] <Jester45> LOKadin: try apt-cache search dvorak
[11:15] <Jester45> anyone know if or when the ati drivers will be upgraded in the repos?
[11:25] <arentoine> LOKadin : did you try to edit xorg.conf :         Option "XkbLayout"  "dvorak"
[11:27] <somerville32> LOKadin: It is probably already installed. You can change your keyboard layout with the keyboard layout switcher applet.
[11:28] <somerville32> hmm...
[11:28] <somerville32> You might have to reconfigure your xorg.conf file too include it too
[12:13] <HungryHippo> Good morning!
