[12:38] Jester45: i tried that plenty. not very helpfull unless you already know how to fix it basically [12:39] 15 is just a file not found error. Did you change anything significant before rebooting? [12:40] PuMpErNiCkLe: i just installed actually [12:41] PuMpErNiCkLe: i installed several times, even updated the bios. i checked menu.lst and the path to vmlinuz is fine === skirk [n=skirk@ip-103-163.sn2.eutelia.it] has joined #xubuntu [12:41] Ditto for initrd? [12:43] let me check === ron_o [n=me@12-210-176-246.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu [12:53] 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)? [12:54] You mean xfce? [12:54] no, Xen... [12:54] Xen shouldn't depend on the desktop environment you're using. [12:54] Ok, nevermind then. :P [12:55] Xen is a paravirtualization OS. === j1mc [n=j1m@adsl-75-21-84-63.dsl.chcgil.sbcglobal.net] has joined #xubuntu [12:56] In fact, the configuration tools don't seem to depend on anything DE-specific either. === skirk [n=skirk@ip-103-163.sn2.eutelia.it] has joined #xubuntu [12:57] i finally got xubuntu feisty herd3 up and running. [12:57] the regular alternate installer was having problems with corrupt packages [12:57] 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] so i installed a command-line system, and then installed xubuntu-desktop from there. [12:58] I really am interested in it === cellofellow [n=josh@209.193.108.100] has joined #xubuntu [01:00] I haven't tried it, but I'm sure someone has. [01:01] tried what, may I ask. === skirk [n=skirk@ip-103-163.sn2.eutelia.it] has joined #xubuntu [01:01] Xen and xubuntu. [01:01] Xen the paravirualized OS. [01:01] paravirtualized* [01:02] Sounds fun. Gonna look into it. [01:03] the thing is that Xen let's your OSs have access to the hardware layer, thereby making your system much quicker. Like 90% efficient [01:04] compared to VMware which might only be 10% efficient, or even less. [01:04] So... is it like VMware? [01:04] Oh, ok. [01:04] VMware has given me almost full speed for the ram I give it. [01:04] it is in a sense. But you have to modify your OSs if you don't have virtualization technology in your processor. [01:05] how can that be? [01:05] it's as fast as using software on a native computer? [01:05] I heard it really slows things down. [01:05] I dunno. The guest OSes run just as fast as they would by themselves on my computer with that much ram... [01:05] kqemu is cool, and if you've a virtualization-enabled CPU there's the new KVM in Linux 2.6.20 [01:06] then stick with it. [01:06] both don't need you to modify the OS, but are still uber-fast [01:06] What about an AMD Sempron? :P [01:06] for an emulator. [01:06] you'd need kqemu instead of kvm. both are kernel-level qemu accelorators. I think Xen uses qemu too. [01:06] xen may not work. Ask them on ##xen [01:06] I have no idea if it's "virtualisation-enabled"... [01:07] 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] usually a vm-CPU is a dual core [01:07] and a non-cheap one like a sempron. [01:07] Ahhh. Mine certainly is not that. :) [01:07] Only 1.8Ghz, at that... [01:08] try KQemu or use KVM in Feisty. [01:08] Sharn I have that one right here on my desk [01:08] I changed it in for a AMD 3200+ === zOap [n=zOap@84.53.35.121] has joined #xubuntu [01:09] Hi, is there something like gdesklets for xfce? or is it possible to use gdesklets for xfce? [01:09] speaking of which, my kqemu installation, which is an older closed-source version, stopped working after the kernel update this week. [01:09] adesklets [01:09] cellofellow, thanks:) [01:09] Dang, nice. [01:10] see screeny: http://mellowcellofellow.googlepages.com/screenshots [01:10] Daaaaang. [01:10] is there a start up folder like windows if you want a program to start on start up? === comradeC [i=comradeC@c-71-58-80-55.hsd1.pa.comcast.net] has joined #xubuntu [01:10] That's awesome, CellowFellow. [01:10] zOap: install adesklets from the repos, but then the best way to install desklets is from the sourceforge site. [01:11] LordGamer: I'm positive there is a way. Someone here will know how [01:11] LordGamer: Applications -> Settings -> Autostarted Applications [01:11] cellofellow, ok, I'll do that. thanks for the advice:) [01:11] Ah. [01:11] See. [01:11] thanks cellofellow [01:11] Sharn is your CPU 754 or 939? [01:11] no problemo [01:11] whats a alternative system info and proc/ram monitor for xubuntu since I no longer have the gnome utils [01:11] 939, I think [01:12] like I want to see what vid drivers and stuff like that are running [01:12] Sharn ah ok [01:12] htop is nice. It's console but curses and really works well. [01:12] I'm not positive. Is there a way to tell without opening it up? [01:13] cellofellow how did you get your pager/desktop switch like that? [01:13] 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] Commander-Crowe: seperate panel [01:14] there's 4 total [01:14] I love that skin. [01:14] cellofellow actually yes, but it depends on your motherboard too [01:14] I know that a Katmai is either a Slot 1 or Socket 3something. How do I tell? [01:14] Yeah... If it's a newer motherboard, you'll have no problems upgrading to one with the same socket type. [01:15] I was thinking old use upgrade to newer used. [01:15] You'll probably have to pull the processor out and look at it. [01:15] That number refers to the number of pins on the bottom. [01:15] ok [01:16] I think I'll switch to Xfce [01:16] Brb... Maybe. === Sharn [n=dino@dsl-216-128-233-200.teton.id.tetontel.com] has left #xubuntu [] [01:16] 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. === Shar1 [n=dino@dsl-216-128-233-200.teton.id.tetontel.com] has joined #xubuntu [01:18] Back. ^_^ [01:19] btw, those screenshots are a little dated. the basic layout is the same but I switched to a blue murrina theme and blue wallpaper. [01:19] got tired of charcoal and green. I'll get tired of blue too. [01:19] I know what you mean. :P [01:20] What all do you have going there? Some Beryl prettiness or something? [01:21] I needa better monitor so I can get higher resalutions [01:22] 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] Beryl didn't like my TNT2 video card. [01:22] I was never able to get the themes from xfce-look.org to work [01:22] put them in ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes [01:22] Mmk. Can you send that link one more time? And... how do you add a theme in Xfce? [01:22] simple [01:22] Oh, ok. [01:23] Same as Gnome, then? [01:23] http://mellowcellofellow.googlepages.com/screenshots [01:23] if that's how Gnome does it, yes. [01:24] (downloading kernel headers.) [01:25] Shar1 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103535 [01:25] that's a GREAT upgrade for ya [01:26] 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. [01:29] Yeah ti is. [01:29] ram is max at 512 [01:29] my, the linux headers are compressed. download 8MB and extract to 85MB. [01:29] cellofellow: What is your cpu right now? [01:29] mine's 319. [01:29] Katmai 450 [01:29] Uhhh... I have no idea what that is. xD [01:29] double? that doesn't sound right [01:30] Pentium 3 Katmai, 450Mhz. [01:30] Shar1 what is? [01:30] My mom has a a Celeron Coppermine 800Mhz. [01:30] but it's a lappy [01:30] an all but dead lappy [01:30] hrm [01:30] Wow, ooooold processors. [01:31] welcome to #xubuntu [01:31] I was talking about that Athlon you linked to, btw. [01:31] And rofl. === spine55 [n=spine@24-181-25-108.dhcp.smyr.ga.charter.com] has joined #xubuntu [01:32] P3... I'm not sure what socket type that is. [01:32] I googled, but forgot. There where two possiblities. Slot 1 and a Socket 3(something)(something) [01:33] And btw, is there any way to get Xubuntu to use Firefox instead of Mozilla? [01:33] PIII has a bunch...thats why Idon't think it'll work [01:33] well, I'll just have to look and see. [01:33] Oh, does it? [01:33] Shar1 yeha i installed konqueror for networking browsing and its now stuck on that [01:34] Try the Preferred Applications settings panel. [01:34] It's Sharn, btw. xD [01:35] Still in mozilla... [01:35] why's Mozilla installed anyways? [01:36] That's a good question. [01:36] Ooooh. It came with Democracy Player. [01:37] 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. [01:39] I think my Jabber2MSN transport I was using shut down. [01:39] Democracy Player uses HTML files, I think... [01:40] Removing ti did the trick, though. === priidu [n=Priit@58.246.245.56] has joined #xubuntu [01:40] well, Firefox reads those better than Mozilla (it's got newer code in the layout engine.) [01:41] Yeah. It installed Mozilla when it was installing. I didn't like it anyway, though... [01:41] it's a radio player, right? never tried it, only heard of it. [01:42] now building the new GPL version of KQemu. [01:42] Uhhhh. More like... movie player. [01:42] Internet movie player [01:42] oh, ok [01:43] How do I make a launcher for a folder? Xfce is odd to me. :P [01:43] I like MPlayer and VLC for video. VLC gets the DVD work, and MPlayer is the only one that plays quicktime. Whatever I feel like for anything else. [01:43] make a launcher run thunar /the/folder [01:43] in panel or on the desktop [01:44] Alright. === Commander-Crowe [n=thomas@unaffiliated/Commander-Crowe] has joined #xubuntu [01:44] whenever I run beryl [01:45] I get a "XGL absent" [01:45] error [01:45] I got that when I tried it, and then quit cause it was being slow. I know XGL was running. [01:46] XGl just plain never ran for me. :P [01:47] XGL worked, and I've heard how it's more efficient on CPU to use it even without Beryl because it makes the whole desktop rendered by the GPU. My GPU sucks though. [01:47] my GPU is a 6600GT [01:47] mine's TNT2 [01:47] it can handle it no problem [01:48] YIKES === merhojt [n=Jimmy@h75n2c1o885.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #xubuntu [01:48] Oooook. In thunar, is there a way to make the address bar text, instead of icons? [01:49] yeah [01:49] View -> Location something -> Toolbar Style [01:50] I added a bunch of the themes to both ~/.themes and /usr/share/themes and only 1 showed up [01:50] the sidebar also does an explorer-style tree view that I found slowed things down too much. [01:50] Ah, perfect. Thanks a lot [01:50] Commander-Crowe: really? [01:50] Can't go to hidden folders without it. :) [01:50] Is there a theme manager? [01:50] cellofellow yeah [01:50] -looks himself- [01:51] what sorts of themes? GTK will show in User Interface Preferences [01:51] Shar1: yeah you can. Type ctrl+h [01:51] user interference Settings [01:51] XFWM in WIndow Manager [01:51] ctrl+h does nothing [01:51] is there a nice gui file searcher/indexer for ubuntu/xubuntu? [01:51] works here commander [01:52] Tracker and Catfish [01:52] tracker index, catfish gui search [01:52] kalikiana: isn't that right? [01:52] (kalikiana wrote catfish.) [01:52] cellofellow which themes do you use? [01:52] cellofellow, cant find catfish in the repo [01:52] Usually Murrine/Murrina themes. [01:53] zOap: it's a little shall we say new? [01:53] cellofellow, aah, I'll look for it:) [01:53] kalikiana: what's the website? [01:54] zOap: it's in python so really easy to compile and install. Don't forget tracker too, which I think I also compiled and manually installed. [01:54] cellofellow, ok, I'm looking for it.. [01:54] :) [01:54] Themes look about 20x better in Xcfe than Gnome. [01:54] Xfce* [01:55] how so? [01:55] I dunno [01:55] They just lok nicer. [01:55] Look* [01:55] cause your computer is running faster. [01:55] everything looks better then. :) [01:56] Rofl.. Gnome made everything look chunky [01:56] zOap: if you can't find catfish it used to be called search4files === chillinhh [n=chillinh@r75-110-13-123.gvllcmtc01.gnvlnc.ab.dh.suddenlink.net] has joined #xubuntu [01:57] hello? [01:57] Hello [01:57] hi [01:57] sup people [01:58] can you guys help me with an error with my live cd [01:58] sure, we can try [01:58] Can try.. ^ [01:58] Woops. - 1 [01:58] . [01:59] !ask [01:59] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [01:59] cellofellow, you asked for the link? [01:59] I did. zOap is looking for it. [02:00] May I ask to not ask a question? [02:00] it's http://software.twotoasts.de?page=catfish [02:00] zOap: ^^^^^^^^^^ [02:00] I'm eventually on tracker's website :) [02:00] :) [02:00] cool [02:00] I found catfish under search4files. in the menu there was catfish... btw, ubuntu repos has the catfish0.1 package.. [02:00] chillinhh: go ahead. [02:00] Just waiting. :) [02:01] everytime i try to boot from the cd its telling me "buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 0 [02:01] hdc: drive not ready for command" [02:01] does the CD work on other computers? [02:01] no other computers to try [02:01] z0ap: you can already take the last 0.2, it's gonna be the stable [02:02] I think I still have search4files 0.2 [02:02] chillinhh: does it boot anyway? Mine always used to give me an error like that. [02:03] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=254468 [02:03] Several of them, in fact... [02:03] that might help. [02:03] you might have a bad CD or a corrupt iso image. === Commander-Crowe [n=thomas@unaffiliated/Commander-Crowe] has joined #xubuntu [02:03] shar1: no the error keeps repeating [02:04] which is why I asked if it worked on other machines. :) [02:04] buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 1 [02:04] buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 2 [02:04] and so on [02:04] i gave up when it got to 3 [02:05] I swear mine did that too. Maybe that was after it was installed on the old pc.. It went through a bunch of buffer errors o something then botted up ok. It's probably something entirely different, though. [02:05] Booted* Sheesh. Can't type tonight. [02:08] Stupid theme won't show up... [02:08] what theme? === Jester45 [n=Jester45@69-29-175-127.dyn.centurytel.net] has joined #xubuntu [02:09] That oen you had. [02:10] MarrinaNeo Greenmod [02:10] do you have the Murrine engine installed? It won't look like anything without that. [02:10] and mine's in ~/.themes, though it doesn't seem to make a difference for me. [02:11] Yeah, I was using Murrina themes in Ubuntu. I'm guessing I might now have "Murrine", though.. [02:12] Err. Gnoem [02:12] Gnome* [02:12] umm [02:12] I've got it, yeah. === morphir [n=morphir@217.168.81.4] has joined #xubuntu [02:12] even if you don't have the engine installed it should show in the theme selector [02:13] well, it is installed. It should just be there [02:13] Don't have to refresh anything or anything? [02:14] Don't think so. Maybe though. [02:14] Ahhh. The folder is set up wrong for some reason. [02:15] oh? [02:15] Yeah. That was the problem. [02:15] got it now? [02:17] Yep === Commander|away [n=thomas@unaffiliated/Commander-Crowe] has joined #xubuntu [02:18] 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] it'll take a while [02:19] Ugh. Now my desktop icons dissapeared. [02:19] aah, ok. [02:19] and tracker-search doesn't work without trackerd running. And also I put trackerd in my autostarted applications [02:19] Shar1: alt+f2 then killall xfdesktop && xfdesktop [02:21] 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] Nothing. I turn Allow xfce to manage desktop on in the desktop prefs, but it says it can't allocate memory... [02:21] z0ap: you can double-click files :) [02:22] odd === linxeh [n=linx@88-96-202-38.dsl.zen.co.uk] has joined #xubuntu [02:22] -checks top in terminal agian- [02:22] zOap: for audio, I like Exaile (exaile.org, yet again no repo. but there is a deb file) [02:22] hi - I'm trying to add a new printer in xubuntu on my laptop (I installed ubuntu then grabbed xubuntu-desktop) [02:22] kalikiana, ok [02:22] the wizard just hangs tho when I enter the name and description and click next :( [02:22] cellofellow, I'll look into that:) [02:23] any ideas how else to add a printer? [02:23] usually that wizard works great for me. It did take a moment to calculate things, sort of slow, but it worked. [02:23] worse comes to worse, you can manually edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf [02:23] lots of ways [02:24] ok, I guess I can use the gnome utils then [02:24] dont really see why it would hang though [02:24] its fired up the hp backend === bspindler [n=bspindle@c-75-75-87-35.hsd1.va.comcast.net] has joined #xubuntu [02:26] trying to find the md5sum for xubuntu 6.10, anybody have a link? [02:27] bspindler: one sec... [02:27] Live disc/minimal? === BrendanM [n=mccollam@hor-gold95.hor.ucl.ac.uk] has joined #xubuntu [02:28] So what's up with this new kernel upgrade? Is it worth getting? [02:28] Actually, here: [02:28] http://ubuntu-cdimage.datahop.it/xubuntu/releases/6.06.1/release.1/MD5SUMS [02:28] hmmm... downloaded from here: http://www.xubuntu.org/get [02:28] if you're careful === b_52GM [n=skimo@adsl196-235-53-217-196.adsl196-10.iam.net.ma] has joined #xubuntu [02:28] You'll jsut have to find your image in that fiel [02:28] BrendanM: aptitude went nuts with it, but I managed to upgrade by uninstalling and then reinstalling the kernel. [02:28] Ugh [02:28] I can't seem to type right. >.< [02:29] Shar1: that link was for 6.06.1 [02:29] do you have a similar one for the 6.10 release? [02:29] Yeah, jsut noticed, so sorry. [02:29] http://ubuntu-cdimage.datahop.it/xubuntu/releases/6.10/release/MD5SUMS [02:29] great that did it, thx! [02:29] So it's glitchy? Is there any real reason I should get it? [02:30] What about the rest of the updates in Synaptic? Will they work without the new kernel headers? === Commander|away is now known as Commander-Crowe [02:30] it's not glitchy running. Very smoot, it's a glitchy install [02:30] is there a North America/USA mirror for Xubuntu? I don't see it anywhere on the download page [02:30] You're welcoem [02:30] us.archive.ubuntu.com [02:30] No, there's not... [02:30] for apt [02:30] Or there... [02:31] I prefer torrent anyway. Do you have a bittorent program? [02:31] sure ... [02:31] 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] It'll work anywhere. I'm hoping you mean for liek the images? [02:32] yeah the iso images desktop-i386 [02:32] BrendanM: I've had no problem with it so far... [02:32] 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] Yeah, if you have a torrent client, that's a great way to get it. You don't "leech" bandwidth that way, either. :) [02:33] ok, I'll go with that... I've had no luck getting the darn thing downloaded through the listed mirrors [02:33] ok. thanks. Is there any compelling reason to get the kernel update? Any major bug fixes I should know about? is there a changelog somewhere? === varun [n=varun@cpe-76-166-46-96.socal.res.rr.com] has joined #xubuntu [02:34] Probably not. xD I just updated to see what ahppens. ^_^ [02:34] hey guys is it possible to set a background color for the panel ? [02:34] careful. If your linux image gets currupted it won't boot. [02:34] none I know of. [02:34] that's KDE stuff. [02:34] Torrent is really good at preventing that, actually.... [02:34] just the GTK theme [02:35] Shar1: not the ISO, the kernel boot image [02:35] hmm.. i was wondering like the gnome panel allows a color, nothin like that for the xfce panel [02:35] ? [02:35] Ooooh. Mmk [02:35] been a gnome user for long, just switched to xfce and loving it [02:36] I don't think it's designed to be like that [02:36] Can themes change it? [02:36] supposed that's considered bloat. [02:36] oh, yeah. [02:36] Yeah, a theme can change it... [02:36] Shar1: your panel looks different after installing GreenMod, right? [02:36] hmm .. yeah i guess [02:37] thanks anyway [02:37] Yeah [02:37] Browner [02:37] Different looking on mouseover and stuff [02:37] yeah [02:39] qemu is so cool I once used it to install Feisty on a spare hard drive without burning the ISO. [02:40] Rofl [02:40] I've done that lots of times with VMware [02:40] Like... for 2-3 whole months before actually installing Ubuntu. xD [02:41] should use kvm [02:41] but then I could run it for real. Just the installation was in qemu, and running in real stuff. [02:42] much faster than qemu [02:42] kvm only works on new chips, and uses qemu anyways, and I used kqemu, which is like kvm. [02:42] kernel-level accelerator [02:42] Ooooh. I see. [02:44] yup, it's good if u got the newer chips [02:44] cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx [02:44] 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] kvm is in Linux 2.6.20, I have 2.6.17 [02:45] I use kqemu [02:45] ah kk.. am on feisty [02:45] nice === cellofellow wiped his feisty install cause it got out of date and he didn't want to bother upgrading it. [02:46] what is feisty? [02:46] it's pretty neat [02:46] lol [02:46] cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx Didn't give anything back. :O [02:46] wasn't an avid tester. I wanted to use the USBVision driver which I couldn't get to compile on Edgy. [02:46] Shar1: well then your cpu doesn't support hardware emulation :( [02:46] Shar1: that means use Kqemu instead of KVM :) === HeathenDan [n=blarg@125.212.82.164] has joined #xubuntu [02:46] xD [02:46] !feisty | bspindler [02:46] bspindler: The 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+1 [02:47] sweet... thx. [02:47] I was thinking about trying it. It IS no slower, right? I know I asked already, but.... [02:47] will include Linux 2.6.20 (with KVM), nvidia-glx and fglrx, and CNR. [02:47] nope [02:47] how did you guys recompile your kernels? [02:47] K. [02:47] gah dont talk about fglrx.. i hate it ! [02:48] Same. ^ [02:48] fglrx is lame. [02:48] Shar1: benchmarks show Kqemu faster than KVM even on the same chip. [02:48] Rofl [02:48] I use nvidia-glx-egacy xD. [02:48] yeh it is.. though kvm is very new [02:48] it's gonna improve [02:48] veeeerrry new. And it's great for so new. [02:48] i can't wait till i get my nvidia laptop [02:49] is there a GUI yet for kvm ? [02:49] just curious [02:49] So will kqemu. It was closed source till about when KVM got announced. [02:49] Talking about good laptops is annoying too. xD [02:49] it's so easy it doesn't need one. There's a KDE frontend to Qemu though that will do kvm though. [02:49] oh ok [02:51] -heads to try KQemu [02:52] you need the kernel headers [02:53] 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. [02:54] I agree [02:54] i know ! [02:54] i wish ! [02:54] That would be awesome. [02:54] :( [02:54] qemu's built-in soft-GPU sucks really bad. [02:54] how hard can that be ? [02:54] I'm pretty sure I've installed kernel headers. Maybe jsut for the old kernel... [02:54] probably pretty hard [02:54] lol yeah i guess [02:54] Did the kernel update include headers? [02:55] i think the bottleneck might be the drivers/hardware than the emulation software [02:55] the point is to NOT emulate the GPU so that the guest OS can use native drivers. [02:55] Halo + Linux = only thing I need. ^_^ [02:56] I think you can get WINE to play Halo. [02:56] Nope... not yet. === Toran [n=youllnev@unaffiliated/toran] has joined #xubuntu [02:56] It's supposedly pretty close, though. [02:56] OK, any QT apps (amarok, k3b, anything kde) I install core dump. I'm in XFCE. what's going on? [02:57] Shar1: http://cellofellow.homelinux.net/Screenshot-qemu.png [02:57] Ahhh, DSL [02:57] no idea. QT words here. (Scribus, Opera.) [02:58] I have a detailed explanation of the problem here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+ticket/3345 [02:58] My heck, DSL is butt-ugly. xD [02:58] It'd be great if someone helped. I'm sick of not having KDE [02:58] Shar1: that's not the Embedded version that comes bundles with Qemu, that's a manual installation. [02:58] But it works like a charm [02:58] Sweet. Is it tough? [02:59] I can take it wherever I go. A USB thumbdrive with some extra apps and configs helps. [02:59] aha.. nice screenie.. looking at it one more newbie question : [02:59] "WARNING: "gcc" looks like gcc 4.x [02:59] Looking for gcc 3.x [02:59] ./configure: 372: Syntax error: Bad fd number [02:59] " [02:59] how do you reduce the spacing between the icons ?

Google? [03:09] Ohhhh. m4a bought from iTunes? [03:09] I bet ffmpeg does it [03:09] worth a try [03:10] If they're bought from iTunes, they're DRMed and can't be decoded by linux. =\ [03:10] Soundconverter does m4a to mp3, but it uses the gstreamer framework.

I would like to use my windows laptop to download the package to a thumbdrive and then install it on my xubuntu i386 box.

[03:19] I agree. Flac is lossless, big files...

No worries. [04:02] that is what I thought [04:02] those dependencies can be a pain [04:03] And it would be considered compiling, instead of installing, just so you know. :) [04:03] I'm planning a dual boot on my 1.583ghz system using Xubuntu and WindowsXP [04:03] the instructions say after the make is done, to run the command make install [04:03] Then you get in the fun. :) I've got Ubnutu and XP on this pc. [04:03] it would probably run faster on the fast PC [04:03] me too :) [04:03] Yep - it'll stop and drop you back on the terminal. Just do exactly what it says. [04:03] ok [04:03] It'll run tons faster... [04:04] My 1.8Ghz makes even Gnome fly...

[04:34] Not sure, Jester45 [04:34] o [04:35] And it actually is going to change depending on what you're compressing. =P [04:35] and can you make xfce use a slideshow as background?

[04:42] source right? [04:44] Yes... source zips [04:45] !source [04:45] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [04:52] My heck, dependencies are a pain. [04:52] yes [04:52] thats why packages and the package mangers are so wonderfull [04:53] I agree. Finally got through ./configure. [04:53] Now on to make...

[04:57] yea [04:57] but they arew great [04:58] And Prisoner_: Not everything you have to compile is that hard... I'm not sure why that program is. [04:58] I had problems compiling tor as well [04:58] hehe [04:58] dillo is easy to compile [04:58] I think mostly you need dev packages. That's been my problem. [04:59] Dillo...

[05:01] ok [05:01] Ok. Just remembered that's what DSL uses. [05:01] I think there is a deb for tor [05:01] apt-cache search tor [05:01] yea DSL has ff also [05:02] Probably. TOR is the anonymous browsing program, right? [05:02] yeah [05:02] yes [05:02] its in the repositories, but there's a more current version available than what is there [05:02] tor and privoxy are good for anonymous browsing [05:02] I use them both sometimes === bur[n] er uses the neighbors' wireless ;) [05:04] Rofl...

[05:05] tar xvfz blah.tar.gz; cd blah; less README; ./configure; make; checkinstall [05:05] The basic layout is ./compile, then make, then make install [05:05] Er [05:05] ./configure* [05:05] yep [05:05] ok [05:06] (checkinstall makes a deb for you so you can easily uninstall what you do) [05:06] We'll be happy to help with any though. Gonna work on your program right now. [05:06] the only thing you have to make sure you have is the dependicies then your done [05:06] Dependencies can be a pain... :P [05:07] Most the time, search for the package it says is missing, then nistalls the -dev for it.

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

[07:59] grazie: yeah... i've asked. but they just say google:P [07:59] whats the problem [07:59] we say google it when we are busy or laZY [08:00] when I change the background I use fbsetbg. but the background doesn't change. how do I change my background?:S [08:01] I have an old pc (celeron 300 mhz. Ram 96 mb HD 20 Giga). I'd like install on it a linux distro but very lite.. [08:01] the desktop background? [08:01] Lucus: use xubuntu it will work on that [08:01] noname: >>> http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/faq/questions/other-fluxbox.html#background [08:02] I've search a little bit and I've made an installation CD of Xubuntu.. [08:02] you can goto the menu then settings then desktop settings [08:03] The problem is I cant' install it. The cd of Xubuntu ask almost 128 mb RAM [08:04] Lucus: You need the alternate install. :) [08:04] It only needs 64Mb === ron_o [n=me@12-210-176-246.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu [08:05] and Ive only 96 mb RAM. The live distro starts.. very slowly but it starts.. And when I double-click on the "install xubuntu" icon on the desktop the cd runs but nothin happens.. [08:05] I'waited for 1,5 hour.. [08:05] ? [08:06] the alternate install? [08:06] Lucus: Yes - it's a text-only installer [08:06] Is it a lighter version of xubuntu? [08:06] Lucus: Once installed, it's the exact same thing, it's just not a livecd [08:07] yes [08:07] Wow I'm sure it will works! But the installation on a text-mod (non-graphical) is simple? [08:07] he live cd loads the OS with the text based you dont have to load much at all [08:07] Need more explanation? I didn't get it at first, either. [08:07] yes ist even simplier than a gui install [08:07] Yeah, it's not bad. [08:08] If you understand partitioning, which you probably won't need to for just installing Xubuntu, you'll be fine. [08:08] It actually reads almost exactly like the graphical installer. [08:08] 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] I've istalled yed ubuntu on my laptop.. [08:08] yays!! compiled audacious from source :D === Wizaado [n=wizaado@c-68-35-207-145.hsd1.fl.comcast.net] has joined #xubuntu [08:09] But It haved a Grafical interface..

[08:10] It's not hard at all, Lucus [08:10] Lucus: It is really not hard [08:11] good for you [08:11] can i say to all, source compiling IS NOT HARD [08:11] Thank you very much to all for your disponibility [08:11] get all the packages from the website [08:11] just a tip read all the page before you continue [08:11] I should compile Audacious too, just for fun. Compiling stuff can be entertaining. :D [08:11] then compile libarays and things [08:11] Sharn: good boy :D [08:11] sacater: as long as you have all the deps its not hard [08:11] Sharn: ill paste my compile out put on web [08:12] Yeah, Lucus, as long as you read it well, you will have no problem. I way rpefer it anyway. [08:12] I only use alternate isntall anymore. :P [08:13] Sharn: me 2 its much more effient [08:13] ;-) [08:13] thanks [08:13] No problem [08:13] Sharn: even the boot up process [08:13] the end of my audacious compile can be found here http://rafb.net/p/IJN6fL47.html [08:13] enjoy [08:13] Rofl.. [08:13] -doesn't know what Audacious is yet- [08:13] Ooooh. Looks smexy. [08:14] compile it then ask what it is [08:14] great idea [08:14] Rofl! Looks like winamp. [08:14] And Winamp owns. ^_6 [08:14] Do compiled programs work faster? [08:15] somertimes [08:15] Mmk [08:15] depends on the options you give it and your hardware [08:15] and the progarm [08:16] That makes sense [08:16] Exaile vs Audacious... [08:16] sacater: Do you have to compile Audacious and then it's plugins seperately? [08:16] 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 [08:17] i like amorak [08:17] That's made for KDE, though... [08:17] so... [08:17] its pretty and runs nice [08:17] Does it integrate with other WMs though? [08:18] yes [08:18] I think the iPod management of amaroK is great! [08:18] i use gtkpod for ipod stuff [08:18] Well I think amaroK does the "Various Artists" stuff better [08:18] And the library of gtkpod seems pretty slow to me [08:18] Sharn: you can use gnome and kde stuff with xubuntu [08:19] Well, yeah, I know [08:19] anyone here useing the herd3 image? [08:19] I jsut don't find apps made for other wms to integrate well without tweaking. [08:20] herd3 is Debian, no? [08:20] little bit is changing but its works fine [08:21] Sharn: herd3 of feisty [08:22] at the fridge 69% of people use edgy 18% drapper 12% feisty 1% badger and <1% of hoary and warty [08:22] 2 people still use hoary :) [08:22] hardcore ubuntuians [08:23] Oh, that makes sense too. [08:24] 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] they release a new version every 6 months [08:25] and starting with drapper 6.06 they have a LongTermSupport version with support for 5 years [08:25] Well yeah, I knew trhat. I've installed like 50 devs just today and yesterday. xD [08:25] i think thats mostly for server and business becuase its more stable [08:26] Yeah, I'd think so too.

[09:05] i dont believe so [09:06] ok [09:06] i think they said it would be to hard to backport it becuase it could break other core system things [09:08] Hmmm.

If it is I'll zip it up and sent it to you. [12:01] Sham: Any idea which package it's in (I've found that the xubuntu theme is in xubuntu-default-settings, but I couldn't find any parallel ubuntu-default-settings) [12:02] Blais1: you need a net connection to download the firmware for either bcm43xx or ndiswrapper to interface with the card [12:02] Not there... [12:02] Sham: The system-wide gdm themes are in /usr/share/gdm/themes; see if it's there [12:02] Oh, right. Will do [12:03] Sham: Thanks :) [12:03] You want the original gnome theme? Human? [12:03] why isn't ndiswrapper included in Edgy :S [12:03] Sham: Yup, gdm theme, not gnome theme, but yeah [12:04] Well, yeah, but it comes with Gnome. :P [12:04] Sham: Good point ;) === Owdgit [n=ron@88-110-127-232.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has left #xubuntu ["Ex-Chat"] [12:04] Do I need drivers if my card can be detected already? === Qew [n=qew@82-69-126-225.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #xubuntu [12:04] Sham: I'm wondering if part of my problem is that I'm on Feisty; I maybe should have asked in #ubuntu+1, but you're definately being helpful here :D [12:05] Blais1: no you dont [12:05] ok [12:05] Ahhh. That could be part. :) [12:05] Need a quick upload place... === grazie_ [n=grazie@86.148.201.83] has joined #xubuntu [12:05] because under networking (in the gui) my wireless card is there === grazie_ is now known as grazie [12:05] and ticked [12:05] and enabled [12:06] with the right settings [12:06] ftp://jesteris.boldlygoingnowhere.org:21 [12:06] but iwonfig comes up blank [12:06] might work [12:06] *iwconfig [12:06] Lol. [12:07] Borgus: http://files-upload.com/files/100039/Human.tar.gz.html [12:07] Audacious is so pretty. ^_^ [12:08] Sham: Thanks :) [12:08] You're welcome. Hope it works alright. [12:08] Borgus: nice nick... imposter :p [12:09] Bogus8: lol, never knew there was somebody else with a similar nick [12:09] I'm trying to do an install to a SD disk... but it says min 2gig / root system and 256mb swap... any way to get around that? [12:09] Rofl... [12:09] it's a 512mb card and I have 1gig of ram so I don't need/want a swap [12:09] You'll definately need that, I'm afraid. [12:09] Borgus: I just happned to pull up the channel and saw yours ;) [12:09] Oh, maybe. [12:10] Sharn: why? I don't use them on my debian installs.. I have them but they are never touched [12:10] I know back when I set up my FC3 box there was an option for no swap [12:10] Bogus8: there is a way around it with the alternate cd, just manual partition and brute force it ... but i don't know if a full install will fit in 512mb of ram, you might be better off with DSL or something [12:10] I'm not sure it will fit on 512Mb.. [12:10] maxamillion: nothing sees the SD card but ubuntu :( [12:10] SLAX > DSL [12:11] Sharn: you're kidding right? [12:11] No. :O [12:11] Bogus8: interesting [12:11] Slax is awesome. And easy. === bwananna [n=bwana@68-117-79-98.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com] has joined #xubuntu [12:11] personally I like slax better also === bwananna [n=bwana@68-117-79-98.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com] has left #xubuntu ["Leaving"] [12:11] And DSL is a pain. And ugly. xD [12:11] Sharn: Slax is prettier than DSL, but i don't think it's > === jdrake [n=jdrake@d57-164-139.home.cgocable.net] has joined #xubuntu [12:11] I like pretty. =D [12:11] lol [12:12] Is there a way to reinstall everything related (dependant) on xubuntu-desktop? [12:13] jdrake: sudo aptitude reinstall xubuntu-desktop [12:13] 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] Bogus8: Are you using the alternate CD? [12:13] maxamillion, I tried a similar thing with synaptic but it only marked xubuntu-desktop itself. [12:13] Sharn: which one is that? [12:14] jdrake: aptitude != xubuntu-desktop ;) [12:14] jdrake: just give it a shot, it should work ... aptitude is intelligent like that [12:14] Bogus8: It's the text-only installer. It has way more options for partitioning. [12:15] Is a self-compiled Firefox going to be faster than the deb from the archives? [12:15] maxamillion, didn't do anything beyond what synaptic would do [12:15] Sharn: possibly, but probably only slightly .... might not even be worth the compile time [12:15] jdrake: really? [12:15] jdrake: just a moment [12:16] jdrake: did you completely remove xubuntu-desktop previously and just want it back? [12:16] No, I foolishly tried to install xfce 4.4 ontop of it [12:16] maxamillion: It would be fun anyway. :D [12:16] Ooooh. Ouch. :O [12:16] jdrake: ahhh hrmm.... interesting [12:18] Sharn: might also depend on how old the hardware is [12:18] w/ todays hardware compiling anything from source isn't that much more beneficial [12:18] If I do remove it, will it try to remove all now unneeded dependancies? [12:19] It appears that is in general true [12:19] 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] It wants now to remove 70 packages when saying 'remove xubuntu-desktop' [12:20] purge says the same [12:20] So I will just do it, then reinstall [12:20] 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 ;) [12:22] Bogus8: Just download the alt install to start. It's about 15x better anyhow, IMHO. [12:23] Sharn: well, too late but I'll give one more iso a go [12:24] How many have you tried? :P [12:24] Is there a command to enable a network device, like eth1? === Borgus [n=borgus@71-32-91-227.tukw.qwest.net] has joined #xubuntu [12:25] <_Dez> im back :d [12:25] Sham: The theme worked :) [12:26] Good. :) [12:26] Glad [12:26] And welcome back _Dez [12:26] Sham: Thanks again :D [12:26] You're welcome. ^_^
