| ron_o | I'd rather install xubuntu than ubuntu, however what about xubuntu and xen? All the help files I've seen are on installing xen with ubuntu and not xubuntu. Is it just as easy (or hard for that matter)? | 12:53 |
| Sharn | You mean xfce? | 12:54 |
| ron_o | no, Xen... | 12:54 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | Xen shouldn't depend on the desktop environment you're using. | 12:54 |
| Sharn | Ok, nevermind then. :P | 12:54 |

| j1mc | the regular alternate installer was having problems with corrupt packages | 12:57 |
| ron_o | PuMpErNiCkLe: that's what I thought. So the backend's should almost be the same. I was just wondering if anyone has tried using Xen and Xubuntu. | 12:57 |
| j1mc | so i installed a command-line system, and then installed xubuntu-desktop from there. | 12:57 |
| ron_o | I really am interested in it | 12:58 |
| === cellofellow [n=josh@209.193.108.100] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| PuMpErNiCkLe | I haven't tried it, but I'm sure someone has. | 01:00 |

| ron_o | Xen and xubuntu. | 01:01 |
| ron_o | Xen the paravirualized OS. | 01:01 |
| ron_o | paravirtualized* | 01:01 |
| Sharn | Sounds fun. Gonna look into it. | 01:02 |
| ron_o | the thing is that Xen let's your OSs have access to the hardware layer, thereby making your system much quicker. Like 90% efficient | 01:03 |
| ron_o | compared to VMware which might only be 10% efficient, or even less. | 01:04 |
| Sharn | So... is it like VMware? | 01:04 |
| Sharn | Oh, ok. | 01:04 |
| Sharn | VMware has given me almost full speed for the ram I give it. | 01:04 |
| ron_o | it is in a sense. But you have to modify your OSs if you don't have virtualization technology in your processor. | 01:04 |
| ron_o | how can that be? | 01:05 |
| ron_o | it's as fast as using software on a native computer? | 01:05 |
| ron_o | I heard it really slows things down. | 01:05 |
| Sharn | I dunno. The guest OSes run just as fast as they would by themselves on my computer with that much ram... | 01:05 |
| cellofellow | kqemu is cool, and if you've a virtualization-enabled CPU there's the new KVM in Linux 2.6.20 | 01:05 |
| ron_o | then stick with it. | 01:06 |
| cellofellow | both don't need you to modify the OS, but are still uber-fast | 01:06 |
| Sharn | What about an AMD Sempron? :P | 01:06 |
| cellofellow | for an emulator. | 01:06 |
| cellofellow | you'd need kqemu instead of kvm. both are kernel-level qemu accelorators. I think Xen uses qemu too. | 01:06 |
| ron_o | xen may not work. Ask them on ##xen | 01:06 |
| Sharn | I have no idea if it's "virtualisation-enabled"... | 01:06 |
| cellofellow | I say use KQemu. It was closed-source till recently, but not anymore. I use it and it's fast. like 85-90% | 01:07 |
| cellofellow | usually a vm-CPU is a dual core | 01:07 |
| cellofellow | and a non-cheap one like a sempron. | 01:07 |
| Sharn | Ahhh. Mine certainly is not that. :) | 01:07 |
| Sharn | Only 1.8Ghz, at that... | 01:07 |
| cellofellow | try KQemu or use KVM in Feisty. | 01:08 |

| cellofellow | zOap: install adesklets from the repos, but then the best way to install desklets is from the sourceforge site. | 01:10 |
| Sharn | LordGamer: I'm positive there is a way. Someone here will know how | 01:11 |

| Commander-Crowe | Sharn is your CPU 754 or 939? | 01:11 |
| cellofellow | no problemo | 01:11 |
| comradeC | whats a alternative system info and proc/ram monitor for xubuntu since I no longer have the gnome utils | 01:11 |
| Sharn | 939, I think | 01:11 |
| comradeC | like I want to see what vid drivers and stuff like that are running | 01:12 |
| Commander-Crowe | Sharn ah ok | 01:12 |
| cellofellow | htop is nice. It's console but curses and really works well. | 01:12 |
| Sharn | I'm not positive. Is there a way to tell without opening it up? | 01:12 |
| Commander-Crowe | cellofellow how did you get your pager/desktop switch like that? | 01:13 |
| cellofellow | Commander-Crowe: speaking of that sort of thing, would it be possible to upgrade my PIII Katmai to a Coppermine if I could find the socket type? | 01:13 |
| cellofellow | Commander-Crowe: seperate panel | 01:13 |
| cellofellow | there's 4 total | 01:14 |
| Sharn | I love that skin. | 01:14 |
| Commander-Crowe | cellofellow actually yes, but it depends on your motherboard too | 01:14 |
| cellofellow | I know that a Katmai is either a Slot 1 or Socket 3something. How do I tell? | 01:14 |
| Sharn | Yeah... If it's a newer motherboard, you'll have no problems upgrading to one with the same socket type. | 01:14 |
| cellofellow | I was thinking old use upgrade to newer used. | 01:15 |
| Sharn | You'll probably have to pull the processor out and look at it. | 01:15 |
| Sharn | That number refers to the number of pins on the bottom. | 01:15 |
| cellofellow | ok | 01:15 |
| Sharn | I think I'll switch to Xfce | 01:16 |

| === Sharn [n=dino@dsl-216-128-233-200.teton.id.tetontel.com] has left #xubuntu [] | ||
| cellofellow | it's most likely the Socket 3something instead of the Slot 1 because it's flat against the board instead of perpendicular to it, which is what I'd expect a Slot to be. | 01:16 |

| cellofellow | got tired of charcoal and green. I'll get tired of blue too. | 01:19 |
| Shar1 | I know what you mean. :P | 01:19 |
| Shar1 | What all do you have going there? Some Beryl prettiness or something? | 01:20 |
| Commander-Crowe | I needa better monitor so I can get higher resalutions | 01:21 |
| cellofellow | just xfwm4 with the Murrine border theme and the Murrine GTK Engine with the MurrinaNeo Greenmod theme (in the screenshot. now it's MurrinaBlue2) | 01:22 |
| cellofellow | Beryl didn't like my TNT2 video card. | 01:22 |
| Commander-Crowe | I was never able to get the themes from xfce-look.org to work | 01:22 |
| cellofellow | put them in ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes | 01:22 |
| Shar1 | Mmk. Can you send that link one more time? And... how do you add a theme in Xfce? | 01:22 |
| cellofellow | simple | 01:22 |
| Shar1 | Oh, ok. | 01:22 |
| Shar1 | Same as Gnome, then? | 01:23 |
| cellofellow | http://mellowcellofellow.googlepages.com/screenshots | 01:23 |

| Commander-Crowe | that's a GREAT upgrade for ya | 01:25 |
| cellofellow | I may be able to get a Coppermine off of a friend, that's why I asked. A Coppermine would about double my computer speed. RAM is as good as it's gonna get I think. More CPU, that's all I think I can take on this box. | 01:26 |
| Shar1 | Yeah ti is. | 01:29 |
| Commander-Crowe | ram is max at 512 | 01:29 |
| cellofellow | my, the linux headers are compressed. download 8MB and extract to 85MB. | 01:29 |

| Shar1 | That's a good question. | 01:36 |
| Shar1 | Ooooh. It came with Democracy Player. | 01:36 |
| cellofellow | Why would Democracy Player need Mozilla? Besides, most of the time packages will depend on Mozilla and apt will work it out so that Firefox is used anyways. | 01:37 |
| cellofellow | I think my Jabber2MSN transport I was using shut down. | 01:39 |

| zOap | cellofellow, I just need to call "trackerd" right? how long should I wait before I can search with catfish then? and it just searches within /home/right? | 02:18 |
| cellofellow | it'll take a while | 02:18 |
| Shar1 | Ugh. Now my desktop icons dissapeared. | 02:19 |
| zOap | aah, ok. | 02:19 |
| cellofellow | and tracker-search doesn't work without trackerd running. And also I put trackerd in my autostarted applications | 02:19 |
| cellofellow | Shar1: alt+f2 then killall xfdesktop && xfdesktop | 02:19 |
| zOap | cellofellow, yeah I figured that one.. Seems nice though. I'd wish that catfish would play audiofiles. I have 500Gb of audio samples which is categorized and named as presise as they should be. would be nice if that worked... | 02:21 |
| Shar1 | Nothing. I turn Allow xfce to manage desktop on in the desktop prefs, but it says it can't allocate memory... | 02:21 |

| linxeh | the wizard just hangs tho when I enter the name and description and click next :( | 02:22 |
| zOap | cellofellow, I'll look into that:) | 02:22 |
| linxeh | any ideas how else to add a printer? | 02:23 |
| cellofellow | usually that wizard works great for me. It did take a moment to calculate things, sort of slow, but it worked. | 02:23 |
| cellofellow | worse comes to worse, you can manually edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf | 02:23 |
| cellofellow | lots of ways | 02:23 |
| linxeh | ok, I guess I can use the gnome utils then | 02:24 |

| BrendanM | alright, well I'm not going to mess with this kernel for now then. What about the rest of the updates? Will they work without the new kernel? | 02:31 |
| Shar1 | It'll work anywhere. I'm hoping you mean for liek the images? | 02:31 |
| bspindler | yeah the iso images desktop-i386 | 02:32 |
| Shar1 | BrendanM: I've had no problem with it so far... | 02:32 |
| cellofellow | BrendanM: if it's not kernel modules or headers, it should work. all the linux-***** stuff should match numbers. everything else is fine. | 02:32 |
| Shar1 | Yeah, if you have a torrent client, that's a great way to get it. You don't "leech" bandwidth that way, either. :) | 02:32 |
| bspindler | ok, I'll go with that... I've had no luck getting the darn thing downloaded through the listed mirrors | 02:33 |

| varun | hey guys is it possible to set a background color for the panel ? | 02:34 |
| cellofellow | careful. If your linux image gets currupted it won't boot. | 02:34 |
| cellofellow | none I know of. | 02:34 |
| cellofellow | that's KDE stuff. | 02:34 |
| Shar1 | Torrent is really good at preventing that, actually.... | 02:34 |
| cellofellow | just the GTK theme | 02:34 |
| cellofellow | Shar1: not the ISO, the kernel boot image | 02:35 |
| varun | hmm.. i was wondering like the gnome panel allows a color, nothin like that for the xfce panel | 02:35 |
| varun | ? | 02:35 |
| Shar1 | Ooooh. Mmk | 02:35 |
| varun | been a gnome user for long, just switched to xfce and loving it | 02:35 |
| cellofellow | I don't think it's designed to be like that | 02:36 |
| Shar1 | Can themes change it? | 02:36 |
| cellofellow | supposed that's considered bloat. | 02:36 |
| cellofellow | oh, yeah. | 02:36 |
| Shar1 | Yeah, a theme can change it... | 02:36 |
| cellofellow | Shar1: your panel looks different after installing GreenMod, right? | 02:36 |

| cellofellow | qemu is so cool I once used it to install Feisty on a spare hard drive without burning the ISO. | 02:39 |
| Shar1 | Rofl | 02:40 |
| Shar1 | I've done that lots of times with VMware | 02:40 |
| Shar1 | Like... for 2-3 whole months before actually installing Ubuntu. xD | 02:40 |
| varun | should use kvm | 02:41 |
| cellofellow | but then I could run it for real. Just the installation was in qemu, and running in real stuff. | 02:41 |
| varun | much faster than qemu | 02:42 |
| cellofellow | kvm only works on new chips, and uses qemu anyways, and I used kqemu, which is like kvm. | 02:42 |
| cellofellow | kernel-level accelerator | 02:42 |
| Shar1 | Ooooh. I see. | 02:42 |
| varun | yup, it's good if u got the newer chips | 02:44 |
| varun | cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx | 02:44 |
| cellofellow | kqemu and kvm act sort of like Xen, making the guest system run directly on the CPU instead of on a soft-CPU. It only works for x86 on x86 though. Soft-CPU's can emulate PPC or SPARC or whatever on x86 or whatever. | 02:44 |
| cellofellow | kvm is in Linux 2.6.20, I have 2.6.17 | 02:44 |
| cellofellow | I use kqemu | 02:45 |
| varun | ah kk.. am on feisty | 02:45 |
| cellofellow | nice | 02:45 |
| === cellofellow wiped his feisty install cause it got out of date and he didn't want to bother upgrading it. | ||

| varun | lol | 02:46 |

| varun | Shar1: well then your cpu doesn't support hardware emulation :( | 02:46 |

| bspindler | sweet... thx. | 02:47 |
| Shar1 | I was thinking about trying it. It IS no slower, right? I know I asked already, but.... | 02:47 |
| cellofellow | will include Linux 2.6.20 (with KVM), nvidia-glx and fglrx, and CNR. | 02:47 |
| varun | nope | 02:47 |
| Commander-Crowe | how did you guys recompile your kernels? | 02:47 |
| Shar1 | K. | 02:47 |
| varun | gah dont talk about fglrx.. i hate it ! | 02:47 |
| Shar1 | Same. ^ | 02:48 |
| Shar1 | fglrx is lame. | 02:48 |
| cellofellow | Shar1: benchmarks show Kqemu faster than KVM even on the same chip. | 02:48 |
| Shar1 | Rofl | 02:48 |
| cellofellow | I use nvidia-glx-egacy xD. | 02:48 |
| varun | yeh it is.. though kvm is very new | 02:48 |
| varun | it's gonna improve | 02:48 |
| cellofellow | veeeerrry new. And it's great for so new. | 02:48 |
| varun | i can't wait till i get my nvidia laptop | 02:48 |
| bspindler | is there a GUI yet for kvm ? | 02:49 |
| bspindler | just curious | 02:49 |
| cellofellow | So will kqemu. It was closed source till about when KVM got announced. | 02:49 |
| Shar1 | Talking about good laptops is annoying too. xD | 02:49 |
| cellofellow | it's so easy it doesn't need one. There's a KDE frontend to Qemu though that will do kvm though. | 02:49 |
| bspindler | oh ok | 02:49 |
| Shar1 | -heads to try KQemu | 02:51 |
| cellofellow | you need the kernel headers | 02:52 |
| cellofellow | now what we need is a VM module that will give the guest direct access to GPU as well as the CPU, so one can play 3D windows games in Qemu. | 02:53 |
| Shar1 | I agree | 02:54 |
| varun | i know ! | 02:54 |
| varun | i wish ! | 02:54 |
| Shar1 | That would be awesome. | 02:54 |
| varun | :( | 02:54 |
| cellofellow | qemu's built-in soft-GPU sucks really bad. | 02:54 |
| varun | how hard can that be ? | 02:54 |
| Shar1 | I'm pretty sure I've installed kernel headers. Maybe jsut for the old kernel... | 02:54 |
| cellofellow | probably pretty hard | 02:54 |
| varun | lol yeah i guess | 02:54 |
| Shar1 | Did the kernel update include headers? | 02:54 |
| varun | i think the bottleneck might be the drivers/hardware than the emulation software | 02:55 |
| cellofellow | the point is to NOT emulate the GPU so that the guest OS can use native drivers. | 02:55 |
| Shar1 | Halo + Linux = only thing I need. ^_^ | 02:55 |
| cellofellow | I think you can get WINE to play Halo. | 02:56 |

| PuMpErNiCkLe | chillinhh: There are a bunch of free md5sum checkers for windows. Check google. | 03:49 |
| Prisoner_ | trying to install a program called QLandkarte | 03:49 |
| kapu_ | what is the easiest way to download all dependencies for a package when trying to download everything to a thumb drive to install to a box with no internet connection? | 03:50 |
| === jik is now known as jikuty | ||
| Shar1 | Prisoner_: what exactly is the problem? | 03:50 |
| Prisoner_ | got a whole bunch of error messages | 03:50 |
| kapu_ | shar1 are you talking 2 me? | 03:50 |
| Shar1 | Uhm, no, kapu_... | 03:51 |
| kapu_ | haha k | 03:51 |
| Prisoner_ | think I had to install libusb, which I have | 03:51 |
| Shar1 | Prisoner_: So are you just unzipping it? Or what... | 03:51 |
| Prisoner_ | right now running a make | 03:52 |
| Shar1 | Ahhhh. | 03:52 |
| Prisoner_ | I need to find some good advice on installing from tar.gz files | 03:52 |
| Shar1 | Does the program your running make for have a channel, by any chance? | 03:52 |
| Prisoner_ | don't know | 03:52 |
| Shar1 | If they do, that'll be the place... If they don't, I don't really know enough about make to help. | 03:53 |
| Shar1 | Is it just a dependency problem? | 03:53 |
| Prisoner_ | it may be | 03:53 |
| Prisoner_ | here is the program: | 03:53 |
| Prisoner_ | http://qlandkarte.sourceforge.net/ | 03:53 |
| Shar1 | K | 03:54 |
| Shar1 | I'll look real quick | 03:54 |
| Shar1 | Ok | 03:54 |
| Prisoner_ | Linux is a new world for me | 03:54 |
| Shar1 | You are in Xubuntu, right? | 03:54 |
| Prisoner_ | in the install instructions, it said to run a make command on it | 03:54 |
| Prisoner_ | yes | 03:54 |
| Shar1 | Hit Applications | 03:54 |
| Shar1 | System | 03:55 |
| LordGamer | it is to me too Prisoner_ I just installed it last Friday for the first time | 03:55 |
| Shar1 | Synaptic package manager | 03:55 |
| Shar1 | Ok? | 03:55 |
| Prisoner_ | I know about Synaptic Package Manager | 03:55 |
| Shar1 | Mmk. | 03:55 |
| Prisoner_ | I'm already there | 03:55 |
| Shar1 | Rofl, ok. So you've got libusb? | 03:55 |
| Prisoner_ | what do I need to look for | 03:55 |
| Shar1 | Search libusb if you haven't already | 03:56 |
| Prisoner_ | I found a bunch of stuff marked libusb and installed some of it last night | 03:56 |
| Shar1 | Ok. | 03:56 |
| Prisoner_ | still had the problem, installed more if tonight | 03:56 |
| Shar1 | Did for proj4 too? | 03:56 |
| Prisoner_ | there's a .deb file of that and I have it | 03:56 |
| Prisoner_ | alot of the error messages I got had USB in them | 03:56 |

| Shar1 | You've run that? | 03:56 |
| Prisoner_ | I installed it | 03:56 |
| Shar1 | Ok.. as for Qt... | 03:56 |
| Prisoner_ | it's going slow right now, maybe this time it'll work | 03:57 |
| Shar1 | You MAY need to install kubuntu-desktop... I'm not positive. Is it getting farther than last time? | 03:57 |
| Prisoner_ | I think it is | 03:57 |
| Prisoner_ | it is going slow though | 03:58 |
| === priit_ [n=Priit@58.246.245.56] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Shar1 | Ok, if it gives an error, paste it if it's short enough | 03:58 |
| Shar1 | And, just so you know, Make is a very slow process... | 03:58 |
| Shar1 | So don't worry about that. | 03:58 |
| Prisoner_ | thanks, I did a make because that is what it said to do | 03:58 |
| Prisoner_ | the last couple of times the errors came up pretty quck | 03:58 |
| Prisoner_ | quick | 03:59 |
| Prisoner_ | I like this particular Linux because it actually runs decently on a 400mhz machine | 03:59 |
| Shar1 | Ahhh, on a 400Mhz, it will take a few minutes. | 03:59 |

| Prisoner_ | how does that look? | 04:00 |
| Shar1 | It stopped there? | 04:00 |
| Prisoner_ | no it is still going | 04:00 |
| Shar1 | Oh, ok. That's fine - yes | 04:00 |
| Prisoner_ | thank you so much | 04:00 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | That's not an error, it's a status message. :) | 04:00 |
| Shar1 | Mmhmm. | 04:00 |
| Shar1 | Yes, what he said. ^ | 04:00 |
| === aidanr [n=aidanr@83.147.134.5] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Shar1 | It'll give you a lot more of those. :P | 04:01 |
| Prisoner_ | the first itme I tried it, the messages clearly had the word "error" in them | 04:01 |
| Prisoner_ | I really want to learn how to install from tar.gz files | 04:01 |
| Prisoner_ | it's giving me those messages with a different filename at the end of each one | 04:01 |
| Shar1 | That just means it's compiling those. No worries. | 04:02 |
| Prisoner_ | that is what I thought | 04:02 |
| Prisoner_ | those dependencies can be a pain | 04:02 |
| Shar1 | And it would be considered compiling, instead of installing, just so you know. :) | 04:03 |
| Prisoner_ | I'm planning a dual boot on my 1.583ghz system using Xubuntu and WindowsXP | 04:03 |
| Prisoner_ | the instructions say after the make is done, to run the command make install | 04:03 |
| Shar1 | Then you get in the fun. :) I've got Ubnutu and XP on this pc. | 04:03 |
| Prisoner_ | it would probably run faster on the fast PC | 04:03 |
| LordGamer | me too :) | 04:03 |
| Shar1 | Yep - it'll stop and drop you back on the terminal. Just do exactly what it says. | 04:03 |
| Prisoner_ | ok | 04:03 |
| Shar1 | It'll run tons faster... | 04:03 |
| Shar1 | My 1.8Ghz makes even Gnome fly... | 04:04 |
| Prisoner_ | I know I have at least one pice of hardware that won't work well with it though, but that is OK | 04:04 |
| Shar1 | What's that? | 04:04 |
| Prisoner_ | a Primascan Colorado 2400U USB scanner | 04:04 |
| Shar1 | Ahhhh. You never know, unless you've tried it? | 04:05 |
| Prisoner_ | there is a driver for it, but support is minimal | 04:05 |
| Shar1 | Oh, ok. | 04:05 |
| Shar1 | I prefer my hacked QueCat. xD | 04:05 |
| LordGamer | wow Prisoner_ I have that exact one in my closet | 04:05 |
| Prisoner_ | what I've been reading online says that, it's basically a scanner that wasn't sold for very long | 04:05 |
| Shar1 | Rfol... | 04:05 |
| Shar1 | Rofl* | 04:05 |
| Prisoner_ | did you buy it on rebate at Circuit City? | 04:05 |
| Shar1 | Lmfao | 04:05 |
| Shar1 | Just for fun? xD | 04:06 |
| LordGamer | noy CC but there was a rebate | 04:06 |
| LordGamer | not | 04:06 |
| Prisoner_ | I think I paid $49 for it | 04:06 |
| Prisoner_ | about half of what I paid for the Umax SCSI scanner that a year and a few months later, when the warranty lapsed | 04:06 |
| Prisoner_ | had this one for several years and it's still going | 04:07 |
| LordGamer | yup me too | 04:07 |
| Prisoner_ | my wife has all all in one Epson | 04:07 |
| Prisoner_ | I'd like something like that to replace the scanner and my ancent HP Deskjet 712C printer | 04:08 |

| Prisoner_ | ok | 04:10 |
| Shar1 | Did you get it too? | 04:10 |
| Prisoner_ | I thought I did | 04:11 |
| maxamillion | Prisoner_: do you have Qt installed? | 04:11 |
| Prisoner_ | as far as I know I do | 04:11 |
| maxamillion | interesting | 04:11 |
| maxamillion | Prisoner_: what are you trying to compile? | 04:11 |
| Prisoner_ | QLandekarte | 04:12 |
| maxamillion | never heard of it :( ... | 04:12 |
| Prisoner_ | it's a GPS Program | 04:12 |
| Shar1 | Hey.. | 04:12 |
| Shar1 | Open a terminal | 04:12 |
| Prisoner_ | how can I determine if I have QT | 04:12 |
| Shar1 | sudo apt-get qt3-dev-tools | 04:13 |
| Shar1 | Copy paste that and enter it | 04:13 |
| Shar1 | Er, no | 04:13 |
| maxamillion | don't know ... i haven't touched Qt in atleast 5 years outside of using a Knoppix cd | 04:13 |
| Shar1 | sudo apt-get install qt3-dev-tools | 04:13 |
| Shar1 | There. ^ | 04:13 |
| Prisoner_ | it specifically says need QT 4.2 | 04:13 |
| Shar1 | Yeah, I know. I keep forgetting these things. | 04:14 |
| Shar1 | Replace 3 with 4 | 04:14 |
| Shar1 | sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools | 04:14 |
| Shar1 | I've never really used Qt either. That's a KDE thing, and I'm not a fan of KDE... | 04:16 |
| Prisoner_ | that gave me an error too | 04:16 |
| Shar1 | What error? | 04:16 |
| Prisoner_ | Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have | 04:16 |
| Prisoner_ | requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable | 04:17 |
| Prisoner_ | distribution that some required packages have not yet been created | 04:17 |
| Prisoner_ | or been moved out of Incoming. | 04:17 |
| Prisoner_ | Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that | 04:17 |
| Prisoner_ | the package is simply not installable and a bug report against | 04:17 |
| Shar1 | Ok... that's odd. Hang on | 04:17 |
| Prisoner_ | that package should be filed. | 04:17 |
| Prisoner_ | The following information may help to resolve the situation: | 04:17 |
| Prisoner_ | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 04:17 |
| Prisoner_ | qt4-dev-tools: Depends: libqt4-core (>= 4.2.0) but it is not going to be installed | 04:17 |
| Prisoner_ | Depends: libqt4-gui (>= 4.2.0) but it is not going to be installed | 04:17 |
| Prisoner_ | E: Broken packages | 04:17 |
| Shar1 | Ok... | 04:17 |

| Shar1 | sudo apt-get install libqt4-gui libqt4-core qt4-dev-tools | 04:18 |
| Prisoner_ | running libqt in synaptic | 04:18 |
| Prisoner_ | seeing if it's there | 04:19 |
| Shar1 | Ok | 04:19 |
| Shar1 | I think you should probably just search for qt4-dev-tools in synaptic. That will get all it's dependencies, too... | 04:19 |
| Shar1 | Yeah, do that... | 04:20 |
| Prisoner_ | trying what you suggested | 04:20 |
| Shar1 | K | 04:21 |
| maxamillion | sudo aptitude install qt4-dev-tools | 04:21 |
| Prisoner_ | all that synaptic had were kde versions of it and it wouldn't install | 04:21 |
| maxamillion | that would resolve dependancy issues too | 04:21 |
| Shar1 | Mmk. maxamillion's way will work too. | 04:22 |
| Prisoner_ | wonder if I should install a KDE version of linux on my box instead | 04:22 |
| maxamillion | Prisoner_: so synaptic ... it's GUI .... people like GUIs | 04:22 |
| Prisoner_ | I'm still learning | 04:22 |
| maxamillion | so = use* | 04:22 |
| Shar1 | KDE is SO slow, if you ask me. | 04:23 |
| Shar1 | It probably won't run on 400Mhz... | 04:23 |
| Prisoner_ | I tried it already, it was slow | 04:23 |
| Shar1 | Yeah. The exception would be Slax. :) | 04:24 |
| Shar1 | Maybe | 04:24 |
| Prisoner_ | going to eventually install it on a 1.583ghz machine anyway | 04:24 |
| Shar1 | Yeah. Get Kubuntu if you're going KDE. :) | 04:24 |
| maxamillion | KDE is slow because its bloated and cluttered .... and because Qt is slow in general | 04:26 |
| Prisoner_ | I think I'm going to forget this | 04:28 |

| Shar1 | Skip the gmake part... | 04:30 |

| Shar1 | Sorry I couldn't be more help. =\ | 04:31 |

| Prisoner_ | I tried to install another tar.gz and that didn't work either, it was a newer version of TOR that isn't in the repositories | 04:33 |
| Jester45 | whats the adverage compression of gz? | 04:34 |
| Shar1 | Not sure, Jester45 | 04:34 |
| Jester45 | o | 04:34 |
| Shar1 | And it actually is going to change depending on what you're compressing. =P | 04:35 |
| Jester45 | and can you make xfce use a slideshow as background? | 04:35 |
| Shar1 | -shrugs- | 04:35 |
| Jester45 | thats why i said adverage | 04:35 |

| Prisoner_ | I had problems compiling tor as well | 04:58 |
| Jester45 | hehe | 04:58 |
| Jester45 | dillo is easy to compile | 04:58 |

| LordGamer | Autpmatiz is the greatest installer | 05:18 |
| nsg1sfubar | thanks i will try it | 05:18 |
| Shar1 | I personally love Automatix. You don't get the experience, but there's plenty of time to do that AFTER flash runs. xD | 05:19 |
| Jester45 | umm.. | 05:19 |
| Jester45 | i got flash running with apt-get | 05:19 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | bspindler: Haven't heard of anything, and a quick search doesn't turn up any bug reports. | 05:19 |
| Shar1 | I'm not sure it worked for me.. | 05:19 |

| Jester45 | bur[n] er: make the key run somthing that points and clicks on that section of screen | 05:37 |

| Shar1 | Hello | 06:21 |
| rmjb | I have a question about upgrading dapper to edgy | 06:21 |
| Commander-Crowe | ok | 06:21 |
| rmjb | can I use the alternate CD? | 06:22 |
| Commander-Crowe | yeah | 06:22 |
| Commander-Crowe | I'd HIGHLY suggest erasing your HDD and starting over witha clean install | 06:22 |
| rmjb | what's the wiki link for that? | 06:22 |
| Commander-Crowe | of course installing Edgy | 06:22 |
| rmjb | nah I have too many services installed and configured | 06:22 |
| Shar1 | They may end up messed up anyhow... =\ | 06:22 |
| Shar1 | I've found upgrades to be a little dirty, myself... | 06:23 |
| Commander-Crowe | rmjb yeah if your going from dapper to edgy its gonna tare your system apart | 06:23 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | Not necessarily. | 06:23 |
| rmjb | squid, slimserver, samba, ntp, md w/ evms, atftp, torrentflux, mythtv, mysql | 06:23 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | If you're reasonably comfortable with apt, it shouldn't be to bad. | 06:23 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | Don't use the graphical updater, though, since it will fail. | 06:24 |
| rmjb | it's too many things to reconfigure if I try to do a fresh install | 06:24 |
| rmjb | oh and I just put back dnsmasq today | 06:24 |
| rmjb | PuMpErNiCkLe: using the alternate cd would be ok? | 06:25 |
| rmjb | and i forgot nfs | 06:25 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | The cd holds only packages in main. Anything from elsewhere, e.g: universe, wouldn't be included. | 06:26 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | Main and restricted, actually. | 06:26 |

| Shar1 | No clue. :P | 07:14 |
| gossar | I mean, it should be the easiest way to dl it if you've already got a ubuntu CD | 07:15 |
| Shar1 | I've enver used it. Not even sure how it works. :P | 07:16 |
| gossar | instead of re-downloading 85% of the ISO(for example) you only dl those parts that have changed | 07:17 |
| Shar1 | Oooh. Nice | 07:17 |
| gossar | it is, but somewhere along the line they stopped making jigdos for the liveCD | 07:20 |
| Shar1 | I prefer alternate anyhow, personally. | 07:21 |
| Shar1 | It always works better for me. Plus I'll be installing on an old laptop that wouldn't run and install the livecd. | 07:22 |
| gossar | I'm dealing with quirky old hdwr, I'd like to see it work before I wipe the drive | 07:23 |
| Shar1 | Yeah, that's a good point to. :P | 07:23 |
| gossar | what's different about alternate? | 07:25 |
| Shar1 | It's text-based | 07:26 |
| gossar | the installer? | 07:27 |
| Shar1 | Well yeah... It doesn't boot into Gnome at all. It's made solely for installing. | 07:27 |
| gossar | well I meant it's the installer that's text, right? once it's installed you can run xfce can't you? | 07:29 |
| Shar1 | Yeah | 07:29 |
| Shar1 | It installs the whole system. | 07:30 |
| gossar | that's no biggie. I guess I'll try that | 07:30 |

| jarnos | Well, I had the problem that some items, like applications menu and trash bin was missing, but I could add them separately to the panels. | 02:25 |

| TheSheep | Guardian: which menu? | 03:35 |
| Guardian | top left | 03:35 |
| Guardian | like the K menu, or start menu in windows | 03:35 |
| TheSheep | Guardian: it lists your installed applications | 03:35 |
| TheSheep | Guardian: if you have more applications intalled, it will list more | 03:36 |

| TheSheep | Guardian: just remove the ones you don't want | 03:36 |

| Lucus | <Sharn>? | 08:05 |
| Lucus | <Sharn>the alternate install? | 08:06 |
| Sharn | Lucus: Yes - it's a text-only installer | 08:06 |
| Lucus | <Sharn>Is it a lighter version of xubuntu? | 08:06 |
| Sharn | Lucus: Once installed, it's the exact same thing, it's just not a livecd | 08:06 |
| Jester45 | yes | 08:07 |
| Lucus | Wow I'm sure it will works! But the installation on a text-mod (non-graphical) is simple? | 08:07 |
| Jester45 | he live cd loads the OS with the text based you dont have to load much at all | 08:07 |
| Sharn | Need more explanation? I didn't get it at first, either. | 08:07 |
| Jester45 | yes ist even simplier than a gui install | 08:07 |
| Sharn | Yeah, it's not bad. | 08:07 |
| Sharn | If you understand partitioning, which you probably won't need to for just installing Xubuntu, you'll be fine. | 08:08 |
| Sharn | It actually reads almost exactly like the graphical installer. | 08:08 |
| Jester45 | the only thing about it that scares many people is that its text only but its very simple and i would say more user fiendly than a gui | 08:08 |

| sacater | can i say to all, source compiling IS NOT HARD | 08:11 |
| Lucus | Thank you very much to all for your disponibility | 08:11 |
| sacater | get all the packages from the website | 08:11 |
| Jester45 | just a tip read all the page before you continue | 08:11 |
| Sharn | I should compile Audacious too, just for fun. Compiling stuff can be entertaining. :D | 08:11 |
| sacater | then compile libarays and things | 08:11 |
| sacater | Sharn: good boy :D | 08:11 |
| Jester45 | sacater: as long as you have all the deps its not hard | 08:11 |
| sacater | Sharn: ill paste my compile out put on web | 08:11 |
| Sharn | Yeah, Lucus, as long as you read it well, you will have no problem. I way rpefer it anyway. | 08:12 |

| Jester45 | Sharn: me 2 its much more effient | 08:13 |
| Lucus | ;-) | 08:13 |
| Lucus | thanks | 08:13 |
| Sharn | No problem | 08:13 |
| Jester45 | Sharn: even the boot up process | 08:13 |

| sacater | enjoy | 08:13 |
| Sharn | Rofl.. | 08:13 |
| Sharn | -doesn't know what Audacious is yet- | 08:13 |
| Sharn | Ooooh. Looks smexy. | 08:13 |
| Jester45 | compile it then ask what it is | 08:14 |
| Jester45 | great idea | 08:14 |
| Sharn | Rofl! Looks like winamp. | 08:14 |
| Sharn | And Winamp owns. ^_6 | 08:14 |
| Sharn | Do compiled programs work faster? | 08:14 |
| Jester45 | somertimes | 08:15 |
| Sharn | Mmk | 08:15 |
| Jester45 | depends on the options you give it and your hardware | 08:15 |
| Jester45 | and the progarm | 08:15 |
| Sharn | That makes sense | 08:16 |
| Sharn | Exaile vs Audacious... | 08:16 |
| Sharn | sacater: Do you have to compile Audacious and then it's plugins seperately? | 08:16 |
| Jester45 | say somthing azureus that has many options and things that happen in the bacground that you cant change with normal settings that shoul be one program that can be optimized | 08:16 |
| Jester45 | i like amorak | 08:17 |
| Sharn | That's made for KDE, though... | 08:17 |
| Jester45 | so... | 08:17 |
| Jester45 | its pretty and runs nice | 08:17 |
| Sharn | Does it integrate with other WMs though? | 08:17 |
| Jester45 | yes | 08:18 |
| apoca | I think the iPod management of amaroK is great! | 08:18 |
| Jester45 | i use gtkpod for ipod stuff | 08:18 |
| apoca | Well I think amaroK does the "Various Artists" stuff better | 08:18 |
| apoca | And the library of gtkpod seems pretty slow to me | 08:18 |
| Jester45 | Sharn: you can use gnome and kde stuff with xubuntu | 08:18 |
| Sharn | Well, yeah, I know | 08:19 |
| Jester45 | anyone here useing the herd3 image? | 08:19 |
| Sharn | I jsut don't find apps made for other wms to integrate well without tweaking. | 08:19 |
| Sharn | herd3 is Debian, no? | 08:20 |
| Jester45 | little bit is changing but its works fine | 08:20 |
| Jester45 | Sharn: herd3 of feisty | 08:21 |
| Jester45 | at the fridge 69% of people use edgy 18% drapper 12% feisty 1% badger and <1% of hoary and warty | 08:22 |
| Jester45 | 2 people still use hoary :) | 08:22 |
| Jester45 | hardcore ubuntuians | 08:22 |
| Sharn | Oh, that makes sense too. | 08:23 |
| Sharn | I haven't been actually using Ubuntu but for two months, so I don't know that much about the release shedule and terms and st00f. | 08:24 |
| Jester45 | they release a new version every 6 months | 08:24 |
| Jester45 | and starting with drapper 6.06 they have a LongTermSupport version with support for 5 years | 08:25 |
| Sharn | Well yeah, I knew trhat. I've installed like 50 devs just today and yesterday. xD | 08:25 |
| Jester45 | i think thats mostly for server and business becuase its more stable | 08:25 |
| Sharn | Yeah, I'd think so too. My old computer is running it because the livecd of edgy didn't urn right on it. | 08:26 |

| Mlittle | 1.08 being the latest version of this game | 08:49 |
| Mlittle | just to round out my explanation | 08:49 |
| Jester45 | what game | 08:49 |
| Mlittle | empires mod | 08:50 |
| Mlittle | for HL2 | 08:50 |

| Sharn | Nooo, it works fine in Exaile. | 08:52 |
| Jester45 | yuck | 08:53 |

| Jester45 | exsile is ugly | 08:54 |

| Sharn | Absolutely no problem for me, but I have 700Mb RAM and 1.8Ghz... I'll check top in a sec. | 08:59 |
| Sharn | Takes barely anything. | 08:59 |

| Sharn | xfce and xfdesktop are above it too. And I think that Xorg would be like, X.org. The graphics output... thing. | 09:01 |
| Jester45 | xorg is the xserver | 09:01 |

| Sharn | 1% cpu and not even 3% memory... | 09:02 |
| Sharn | Would Xubuntu Edgy be unders Xfce 4.2 or 4.4? | 09:02 |

| Jester45 | i dont believe so | 09:05 |
| apoca | ok | 09:06 |
| Jester45 | i think they said it would be to hard to backport it becuase it could break other core system things | 09:06 |

| Bogus8 | personally I like slax better also | 12:11 |

| Sharn | And DSL is a pain. And ugly. xD | 12:11 |
| maxamillion | Sharn: Slax is prettier than DSL, but i don't think it's > | 12:11 |

| Sharn | I like pretty. =D | 12:11 |
| maxamillion | lol | 12:11 |
| jdrake | Is there a way to reinstall everything related (dependant) on xubuntu-desktop? | 12:12 |
| maxamillion | jdrake: sudo aptitude reinstall xubuntu-desktop | 12:13 |
| Bogus8 | man, i'd really like to get this SD card working... it's completely useless to me and now I scored this laptop w/ the SD reader built in (flush) so it would be pretty slick/stealth | 12:13 |
| Sharn | Bogus8: Are you using the alternate CD? | 12:13 |
| jdrake | maxamillion, I tried a similar thing with synaptic but it only marked xubuntu-desktop itself. | 12:13 |
| Bogus8 | Sharn: which one is that? | 12:13 |
| maxamillion | jdrake: aptitude != xubuntu-desktop ;) | 12:14 |
| maxamillion | jdrake: just give it a shot, it should work ... aptitude is intelligent like that | 12:14 |
| Sharn | Bogus8: It's the text-only installer. It has way more options for partitioning. | 12:14 |
| Sharn | Is a self-compiled Firefox going to be faster than the deb from the archives? | 12:15 |
| jdrake | maxamillion, didn't do anything beyond what synaptic would do | 12:15 |
| maxamillion | Sharn: possibly, but probably only slightly .... might not even be worth the compile time | 12:15 |
| maxamillion | jdrake: really? | 12:15 |
| maxamillion | jdrake: just a moment | 12:15 |
| maxamillion | jdrake: did you completely remove xubuntu-desktop previously and just want it back? | 12:16 |
| jdrake | No, I foolishly tried to install xfce 4.4 ontop of it | 12:16 |
| Sharn | maxamillion: It would be fun anyway. :D | 12:16 |
| Sharn | Ooooh. Ouch. :O | 12:16 |
| maxamillion | jdrake: ahhh hrmm.... interesting | 12:16 |
| Bogus8 | Sharn: might also depend on how old the hardware is | 12:18 |
| Bogus8 | w/ todays hardware compiling anything from source isn't that much more beneficial | 12:18 |
| jdrake | If I do remove it, will it try to remove all now unneeded dependancies? | 12:18 |
| jdrake | It appears that is in general true | 12:19 |
| maxamillion | jdrake: well ... you could try "sudo aptitude purge xubuntu-desktop" but i'm pretty sure that will only remove the meta package (same as other package managers would) | 12:19 |
| jdrake | It wants now to remove 70 packages when saying 'remove xubuntu-desktop' | 12:19 |
| jdrake | purge says the same | 12:20 |
| jdrake | So I will just do it, then reinstall | 12:20 |
| Bogus8 | shame they don't have the options in the regular install for alt install... I am really tired of d/l iso's and getting now where ;) | 12:20 |
| Sharn | Bogus8: Just download the alt install to start. It's about 15x better anyhow, IMHO. | 12:22 |
| Bogus8 | Sharn: well, too late but I'll give one more iso a go | 12:23 |
| Sharn | How many have you tried? :P | 12:24 |
| Blais1 | Is there a command to enable a network device, like eth1? | 12:24 |
