age6racerI'm gonna take my chances I think.12:25
somerville32Plus you have to worry about possible exploits in Wine12:26
Jester45yes first you have to get them to run then you have give them sudo ablities then somthing might happen12:26
age6racerBut can we try to work out how to run something as sudo/gksudo from a launcher without having a terminal open pls?12:26
maxamillionJester45: its not emulation? ... so you are saying wine is a functional installation of windows?12:26
somerville32maxamillion, Neither.12:26
Jester45maxamillion: its a layer12:26
somerville32maxamillion, Wine is the windows api implemented in Linux12:27
maxamillionJester45: layer is translation, translation is emulation12:27
age6racerThe Wine developers don't like it being referred to as emulation.12:27
somerville32maxamillion, Wine is not an emulator, Adam.12:27
Jester45maxamillion: the wine server pretty much changes the commands from windows to linux12:27
age6racerBut it's easier for people ot get their heads around if you do.12:27
maxamillionfine ... i12:27
maxamillionnvm12:27
=== somerville32 pats maxamillion on the head.
somerville32Good boy.12:27
=== maxamillion growls lightly
somerville32age6racer, Please just do as they suggest and modify the permission on the file.12:29
maxamillioneither way, "translation" or "emulation" ... if a windows exploit is executed under wine with the correct permissions then it can exploit your linux system12:30
age6racerok then12:30
Jester45yep but you also have to have it working to get it to break somthing12:30
somerville32maxamillion, It isn't a translation either12:30
Jester45somerville32: API layer right?12:31
maxamillionsomerville32: i really don't care ... i don't run windows or its software so the project could bork for all i care12:31
somerville32Jester45: Yes.12:31
somerville32Anyhow, I need to do real life stuff.12:31

age6racerHow do I make a launcher for terminal? what it the terminal command for the terminal itself?12:32
maxamillionJester45: which is?12:32
vidd_laptopJester45, what game is that?12:32
Jester45lol12:32
maxamillionage6racer: Terminal ... case sensitive12:32

=== maxamillion appologizes
maxamillioni will admit that wine is a good project and will help alot of people make the migration to linux12:41
Jester45maxamillion: it is it just needs to work better people that love windows and cant let go of parts of it dont want to search if the program works or not12:42
vidd_laptopwhat we NEED to do is get vender buy-in12:43
__mikemDoes anyone know how to change the background for xfce-panel12:43
vidd_laptopconvince the game makers to be compatable with wine as well as M$12:44
maxamillionJester45: yeah ... the project is OLD too, they have come a long way, i remember 5 years ago when i spent an hour hacking at things to get starcraft to run on wine because my friends wanted to have a SC lan12:44
maxamillionvidd_laptop: never gonna happen12:44
maxamillion__mikem: do you want to actually change the colors of the panel?12:44
__mikemno I want to add a background picture to the panel12:44
vidd_laptop__mikem, /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops/12:45
Jester45maxamillion: or dual boot12:45
vidd_laptopthat is the folder you need to add your pic too....12:45

chris_if I try it says it wants to remove xubuntu desktop too01:04
vidd_laptop  chris_ yes01:05
vidd_laptopremoving xubuntu-desktop is harmless01:05
somerville32Not exactly01:05
vidd_laptopit is a meta package that does not do anything, but required the default setup01:05
chris_well all I'm saying is I don't need 2 media players01:06
chris_so if it is going to be a real hassle to get rid of the one I don't use I'll leave it01:06
vidd_laptopsomerville32, what harm is there of removing xubuntu-desktop?01:06
chris_otherwise if there is a proper way of doing things tell me how please01:06
cellofellowdepends on how xubuntu-desktop was installed whether it's harmless or not.01:07

chris_apt-get I believe01:08
cellofellowthen you're allright.01:09
cellofellowage6racer: right click it, and then Edit Menu. You can move the seperators around to make things look more together.01:09
chris_ok to get rid of it?01:09

vidd_laptopchris_, yes01:10

chris_never made one of these links before01:37

noalternativeshould I use update-manager?02:04
=== vidd_laptop didnt know there WAS a xubuntu breezy
vidd_laptopi would02:04
noalternativeyes, but it didn't come in a specific distro.02:04
maxamillionvidd_laptop: don't think there is, but there was the xubuntu meta package at the time ... just not a released sub distro (iirc)02:04
vidd_laptopic02:05
noalternativeYou had to use the ubuntu breezy disks to do a network install then install xubuntu_desktop with apt.02:05
maxamillionnoalternative: i will warn that if you use update-manager to get from a previous release to edgy, it will probably fail ... there is a known critical bug that i don't think is fixed yet02:05
vidd_laptopyou would be better advised to svae your data and do a clean install to edgy02:06
noalternativeI got them a year ago, but was using feather linux at the time.02:06
noalternativecan you use update manager to just update within dapper?02:07
maxamillionnoalternative: not sure, never used it ... to update within dapper i just do "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade"02:07

spasticteapotI have a laptop that won't accept my PCMCIA CD-ROM drive as a boot device.04:55

spasticteapotThere's...23.5GB of free space.04:55
Jester45o boot from then drive04:55
spasticteapotHow?04:55
Jester45i thought you ment install to04:55
spasticteapotNo, I need to use the hard drive in place of a CD-ROM drive.04:55
cellofellowI just used QEMU to install Feisty from an ISO image. Took 16 hours of CPU time, about 18 real time.04:56
cellofellowthat won't work.04:56
spasticteapotQEMU?04:56
spasticteapotFeisty?04:56
spasticteapotThere's a new Ubuntu already?04:56
cellofellowit's an emulator04:56
cellofellow!feisty04:56
ubotuThe next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+104:56

cellofellowWifi Radar please!04:57
spasticteapotYes!04:57
spasticteapotI'll take just about anything, though.04:57
cellofellowWhat would it take to get Radar in main?04:58
spasticteapotThe problem is that often you don't have access to a wired connection, so you can't download it from a repository unless you can connect to wifi.04:58
Toristcan someone PM me on how to setup an email server on xubuntu?04:58
Toriststep by step04:58
spasticteapotOf course, configuring wifi from the command line is a huge, huge, huge headache.04:58

cellofellowyou could put thec ISO on there are use QEMU, but that would take all day. And you would have to use the alt CD, not Live.05:01
spasticteapot..pass.05:02
Jester45pop harddrive out and install on a diffrent computer?05:02
cellofellowwhat are some of the non-cd ways of insatlling Ubuntu? What about Debian net-install. can that be hacked into downloading ubuntu?05:02

dosnlinuxI heard rumors that xubuntu was going to have beryl installed by default07:32
dosnlinuxare they true?07:32
PuMpErNiCkLeLat I checked, they were considering that for Ubuntu for the next release.  I'm not sure if they've decided anything yet.07:33
PuMpErNiCkLe(They were still debating whether it should be done as default, as an option, not at all, and whether to use Compiz or Beryl if they did.)07:34
PuMpErNiCkLes/Lat/Last/07:34
dosnlinuxI hope not, at least not by default07:35
dosnlinuxseems kinda counter productive for Ubuntu's objective, or at least my understanding of it07:36
dosnlinuxat least having it installed by default07:37
PuMpErNiCkLeNot entirely - compositing managers offer some useful features.  It would be counter intuitive if they included it in Xubuntu, which is targetted at low-spec machines.07:37
dosnlinuxboy, I'm using "at least" a lot today :P07:37
dosnlinuxI agree07:38
dosnlinuxplus it's just one more thing to fit on a CD07:38
dosnlinuxmaybe they should have something like bubuntu that has it installed by default?07:39
dosnlinuxthen you could install it with a simple apt-get bubuntu desktop07:39
dosnlinuxIs xubuntu "official" or is it a community led thing?07:41

PuMpErNiCkLeThe menu disappearing can be fixed by replacing ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml with /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml.08:05
PuMpErNiCkLeIt's a backup default menu.08:05
PuMpErNiCkLeWhat happened with the background image?08:05
leobloomwell I'm a noob, how can I replace that?08:06
leobloomIt doesn't charge it, it's a gif 2.3 mb thoguh and the laptop is an old PII 400 mhz 128 RAM, when I switch it off though I can see it for a ocuple of seconds, then it disappears08:07
PuMpErNiCkLeIn a terminal, run 'cp /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml'.08:07
Jester45leobloom: turn it off as in the laptop or just turning off the background08:08
leobloomwhat do you mean jester, sorry I haven't got. and btw, is that menu bug fixed on xubuntu 6.10? Will I have to manually fix it everytime it happens or is there some kind of patch?08:09
leobloomdo you mean to turn the background off, that is, not to use any background?08:10
Jester45no what did you mean by "It doesn't charge it, it's a gif 2.3 mb thoguh and the laptop is an old PII 400 mhz 128 RAM, when I switch it off though I can see it for a ocuple of seconds, then it disappears" are you switching off the laptop or just the backgrond08:11

leobloomisn't damn small linux completely via commands?08:43
Jester45no08:44
leobloomubuntu edge amd athlon 64 3400+ (2400 Mhz) ram 512 are his specs08:44
Jester45it has an xserver08:44
Jester45he need more ram08:44
leobloomuhm and what's an xserver in veery easy words?=o)08:44
Jester45the thing that gives you windows and color and a gui08:45
Jester45its non command line08:46
leobloomlike gnome and xfce?08:46
Jester45sorta08:46
Jester45gnome and xfce are window mangers they control settings and resize the windows and things like that the xserver is what displayes things08:47
leobloomI evne thought about waiting for a stable verison of ubuntu lite or try the fluxbuntu but I've read it's still very buggy and from next month on I'll never have access to internet so I need quite a stable release08:47
Jester45xubuntu is the light verson of ubuntu and its stable08:47
leobloomso gnome needs xserver too  doesn't it?08:47
Jester45yes08:47
Jester45anything with a gui needs a xserver08:48
Jester45!xserver08:48
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about xserver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi08:48
Jester45!xorg08:48
ubotuThe X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto08:48
Jester45thats doenst explain anything08:48
Jester45maybe PuMpErNiCkLe could explain a little better08:49
PuMpErNiCkLehm?08:50
Jester45explain what a xserver is08:50
leobloomis there a way to make xfce even lighter? All in all the only softwares I need on my laptop are those of openoffice (it's a pain to load it though) and something to listen to music/watching a video like vlc08:51
PuMpErNiCkLeAn Xserver is a graphical input/output control.  It creates windows, controls where they appear relative to each other, controls which gets focus, input from devices, etc.  It controls the display elements common to all graphical programs.08:52
Jester45mpayer is good for video08:52
Jester45mplayer08:52
leobloomand what's the difference with gnome and xfce or fluxbox then?08:53
PuMpErNiCkLeThe desktop environment.08:53
leobloombut vlc is lighter and more versatile =o) I stil havetroubles to understand how to install something on linux from a source or a .deb package :D08:53
Jester45gnome is slow fluxbox ugly and xfce is just right08:54
leobloomso to make things simple gnome comes after xserver?08:54
Jester45from a deb you just double click08:54
Jester45yes08:55
leobloomI've read I have to use the terminal and tell the pc I want to charge stuff from differante locaitons (either from a cdrom or from files I  put on my desktop via usb stick)08:55
Jester45no08:55
Jester45like coping files?08:56
leobloomI simply  look for the file I need from the repository and manually download everything hoping not to forget some dependencies, I'm collectiong them in a folder, as soon as I have enough of them I'l create a cdrom that my laptop can read and charge them from the cd...08:58
Jester45u can use the file manger i dont know what the one for ubuntu is08:58
Jester45xubuntu hasthunar08:58
Jester45it just lke windows you can drag and drop08:58

leobloombtw, a stupid question, if I download a software, let's say abiword and it has some dependencies, let's say some libs I donwload them all right? and what if these same libs have other dependencies? I have to download those too right? Thus I'd have to download thousands of things!=o/08:59
leobloombrb08:59
PuMpErNiCkLeYou don't normally have to download that many.  In any case, that's what apt is for - it handles the dependencies automatically.09:01
leobloombut my laptop doesn't have ibnternet09:02
leobloomI can't use apt09:02
leobloomI've found some dvd 's iso images of the whole ubuntu reopository on bittorrent, I might download them  and buy a dvd drive for my laptop09:03

=== stork [n=sh2-136@storkey.plus.com] has joined #xubuntu
PuMpErNiCkLeIt doesn't have to be.09:07
leobloomuhm so what is it? I'm a complete noob, I'm learning everything bout my pc just by trying this and that on linux :D09:09
decaeloNetwork Interface Card doesn't necessarily need to be an Ethernet, although it does fall in the category. Any networking card can pretty well be considered an NIC as far as I know, wether it is ethernet, wifi, etc..09:10
leobloomI don't even know if and how I can isntall an ehternet on my old laptop :D it old has a rj11and a usb plus some serial and parallel ports...09:10
leoblooma wifi for a laptop like that?=o)09:11
decaeloLike what? Are you asking if a wireless card for a laptop is considered an NIC?09:13
leobloomno, if a wiki card can actually be installed on such an old machine09:13
leobloomit's a PII 400 mhz =o)09:14
=== MagicFab [n=magicfab@ubuntu/member/magicfab] has joined #xubuntu
leobloomI know it has some infrared stuff but I've never understood how to make it works and what for and linux dowsn't even recognize it09:14
decaeloYeah, it probably doesn't work out-of-the-box, more than likely you'll need tweaking. Even though it's an old computer, I think it should work as long as you can physically connect it inside the computer, I don't think there is a difference in architecture.09:15
decaeloI know Bluetooth didn't work with my computer when I first installed Ubuntu.09:16
leobloomuhm I'd like to have it done by a technicvian :D but the only two I know don't even know what ubuntu is so I fear their "deeds" :D09:16
decaeloLoL.. well, although the word Ubuntu isn't really IT jargon, I'd be more worried if you told him you were running Linux and he was like 'Whats Linux?'09:17
decaeloIn fact, I'd put his MCSE cert somewhere he wouldn't like.09:18
decaeloLike the recycling bin.09:18
leobloom=o)09:18
leobloomyesterday noght (or should I say this morning lol) I browsed here and there  on the web to find a way to connect my pc to my laptop and create a tiny lan, I've read there is a way with a laplink cable via serial or parllel port, even though it's slow it' wouldn't be much slower than a normal ethernet lan (which I oculdn't have now since I have no ethernet on my laptop and only one already used on the pc)09:19

decaeloWhy don't you just get a router?09:20
decaeloIt'll make your life much easier. Much less headaches, too.09:20
dosnlinuxDoes the Xubuntu install require internet access?09:20
decaeloNope. None of the Ubuntu installs do unless you specifically choose 'Network Installation'. If you downloaded the CD-Image from the site / mirrors, you should just be able to burn the disc and boot it up.09:21
leobloomactually  the adsl modem I have "should" also be  a router, I just dunno how to configure it and I'd need to install stuf on my laptop anyway plus I'm moving to a different nation in a few weks so I dunno yet if I need it then09:21
leobloombut you need one to have the updates, no?09:21
=== totalwormage [n=worm@225-131.surfsnel.dsl.internl.net] has joined #xubuntu
dosnlinuxThe edgy installer seemed to get hung up trying to install openoffice from the web09:22
decaeloLeo: Yes, you need a connection to get the updates.09:22
leobloomor a cdrom =o) as I'm trying to do =o)09:23
decaeloHeh, yeah, if you find someone nice/patient enough to burn stuff for ya09:23
decaelodos: did the installer physically freeze? or just the progress bar for your openoffice install?09:24
leobloomwell, real problem is, if i FIND  a way to make it works lol :D do you think a dvd drive can be put on a laptop like that? I've found some but I dunno if there is any difference between a laptop or a pc for them09:24
decaeloYeah PC DVD-Roms are about twice the size of laptop drives...09:25
dosnlinuxprogress bar, the install continued once I plugged the net-cable in, but seemed to be stuck before that09:25
decaeloI'm pretty sure you could find a USB DVD-ROM09:25
decaeloDos: That's really weird. If you have no life like myself, try duplicating the error. Might just be a coincidence.09:27
leobloomahah it's a 1.0 usb and it's the only one I have, a friend of mine told me to use that usb with an adapter for ethernet to connect the laptop to the adsl modem but after seeing it  he just laughed and said it's useless =o/09:27
dosnlinuxI'll try again next time I install09:28
decaeloDoes OpenOffice run fine right now?09:28
dosnlinuxshould I report it if I am able to duplicate the problem?09:28
decaeloYep. There are certain standards for reporting bugs.. you have to be able to dupe the bug being one of the standards. There are a few more, but they're listed on the page.09:29
dosnlinuxOO.o seems to work fine09:29
decaeloCool. Was it near the end of the install when it 'hung'?09:29
dosnlinuxthe first package (right before core) was skipped though09:30
dosnlinuxyeah, It was about 85% installing packages09:30
leobloombrb09:31
decaelocuz really the only thing I can think of, is that OO.o was near the end of install when it froze, finished the install, looked for a NIC, and hung like that as it searched (sometimes it can take a while), and perhaps the next step in the install was to configure network access09:31
dosnlinuxconfiguring network was towards the begining09:31
decaeloWell, perhaps not necessarily something that configures the network, but tries to use it.09:32
dosnlinuxit's the edgy alternate install cd if that helps09:32
dosnlinuxany install logs I can check?09:33
decaeloThat's what I am trying to figure out also... forgive me, I am not a guru yet :)09:34
dosnlinuxnp, first ever install of *buntu09:37

dosnlinuxfor scheduling09:53
leobloomautoclean cache doesn't work?09:53
dosnlinuxleobloom, those apps may need QT to run, Ubuntu/Xubuntu use GTK09:54
dotBL0twell i didn't tried because i don't know if it will clean all packages and not only the uninstalled ones09:54
leobloomso it's a question oif libraries?09:54
dosnlinuxyeah09:55
leobloomI'm not 100% sure but I think that autoclean should only clean that09:55
