| maxamillion | ? | 01:19 |
| Kasplatt | BFTD, http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ <--- beryl something is in there | 01:19 |
| maxamillion | apparently i came in at the wrong part of that one | 01:19 |
| Kasplatt | nonstandard | 01:19 |
| BFTD | Kasplatt no duh, thats why I told you to do that. | 01:20 |
| Kasplatt | BFTD, do what ? | 01:20 |
| BFTD | Kasplatt I pointed you to source-o-matic so that you could use beryl | 01:20 |
| Kasplatt | I should not make a new sources.list file ? | 01:21 |
| Kasplatt | oh, okay... thanks | 01:21 |
| Kasplatt | guess I misunderstood you | 01:21 |
| maxamillion | what you shouldn't do is run beryl | 01:21 |
| Kasplatt | maxamillion, why not ? | 01:21 |
| Kasplatt | I like it | 01:21 |
| BFTD | maxamillion yeah | 01:22 |
| BFTD | I'm cli all the way | 01:22 |
| Kasplatt | why not ? | 01:22 |
| j1mc | i read that beryl has some non-free software bits in it. | 01:22 |
| maxamillion | Kasplatt: its a waste of resources, waste of open source programmers concentration when they could be doing better things like adding hardware support, enhancing configuration tools, etc. | 01:23 |
| maxamillion | everything about it annoys me | 01:23 |
| Kasplatt | BFTD, so I just add the things I want and make a new sources.list file ? and it won't **** up my AIGLX ? | 01:23 |
| j1mc | i don't have the link right now, but it came up in an ubuntu developer irc chat. | 01:23 |
| Kasplatt | maxamillion, okay. | 01:23 |
| maxamillion | j1mc: well ... yeah, it has bindings to be able to use nvidia's AIGLX stuff | 01:23 |
| Kasplatt | j1mc, I'm not gonna pay for it. | 01:23 |
| Kasplatt | I don't use the nvidia part. | 01:23 |
| j1mc | Kasplatt: the actual beryl software itself has non-free portions. | 01:24 |
| maxamillion | Kasplatt: don't get me wrong ... its fun, but it gets old and i do think that open source and linux in general has more important things to worry about then wobbly windows | 01:24 |
| Kasplatt | what are backports projects ? | 01:24 |
| BFTD | Kasplatt no, chances are it willm ess up you Xserver seeing that you're doing 2 at a time | 01:24 |
| j1mc | Kasplatt backports are for when new software is "back ported" to an existing release. | 01:25 |
| Kasplatt | I don't want that .. | 01:25 |
| Kasplatt | j1mc, okay | 01:25 |
| j1mc | for example, if they wnated to put firefox 2.0 in ubuntu dapper drake, they would have to do it via backports. | 01:25 |
| Kasplatt | ah, okay. | 01:25 |
| Kasplatt | But I want : rar, AIGLX, beryl, Wine (getting cedega tho). | 01:26 |
| Kasplatt | BFTD, if it fu**s up my Xserver, what do I do then ? | 01:26 |
| maxamillion | Kasplatt: get to know the cli | 01:27 |
| maxamillion | ;) | 01:27 |
| Kasplatt | what is it like ? | 01:27 |
| maxamillion | open a terminal window ... image that covers your whole monitor ... that's cli | 01:28 |
| j1mc | :-) Kasplatt the cli is very furry and friendly and likes to be petted. | 01:28 |
| Kasplatt | I like to play like... maybe Counter-Strike and then I get a message on MSN or something, then I just hold ALT+CTRL and flip over to MSN | 01:28 |
| BFTD | haha | 01:28 |
| maxamillion | Kasplatt: you want to run windows | 01:28 |
| Kasplatt | maxamillion, sounds awful ? | 01:28 |
| Kasplatt | no I do not | 01:28 |
| maxamillion | uhmmm... counterstrike and MSN .... i am missing something here | 01:29 |
| Kasplatt | not really... | 01:30 |
| Kasplatt | well... that's not all I do on my computer ffs | 01:30 |
| Kasplatt | BFTD, what happens if my Xserver messes up ? | 01:31 |
| maxamillion | Kasplatt: the issue with steam is that it won't run in a windowed mode under linux, so giving and removing focus to it is an interesting "hit or miss" situation, so the alt+tab thing might not work for you while in the middle of a CS game | 01:31 |
| BFTD | Kasplatt its die's | 01:31 |
| maxamillion | Kasplatt: if you xserver gets messed up you have to fix it from the cli | 01:32 |
| Kasplatt | maxamillion, I don't minimize it ? | 01:32 |
| Kasplatt | omg... cli = terminal... I've been there once... | 01:32 |
| Kasplatt | I hate it | 01:32 |
| maxamillion | Kasplatt: you ever seen a minimize button on a counterstrike window? | 01:32 |
| Kasplatt | no, but alt+tab miinimizes it normally | 01:32 |
| maxamillion | Kasplatt: on windows | 01:33 |
| Kasplatt | yes | 01:33 |
| maxamillion | windows != linux | 01:33 |
| maxamillion | linux != windows | 01:33 |
| Kasplatt | ... ? | 01:33 |
| maxamillion | windows does not equal linux and linux does not equal windows | 01:33 |
| Kasplatt | Windows is unstable, slow, runs like shit and crashes all the time. | 01:33 |
| Kasplatt | maxamillion, I know, and I'm trying to learn how to use Linux so I can get away from Windows | 01:34 |
| BFTD | !language | 01:34 |
| ubotu | Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly. | 01:35 |
| Kasplatt | tell me a good word instead of "poop" then ? | 01:35 |
| Kasplatt | runs like .... ? | 01:35 |
| Kasplatt | runs badly then. | 01:35 |
| maxamillion | Kasplatt: but i don't think you are understanding what i am trying to say ..... steam and cs are self contained, which is why on a windows machine you don't see the windows "close, minimize, maximize" buttons on them and because of that it is using a graphical library that (apparently) is windows specific and thus even when you are running it through virtualization (such as wine, crossover, or cedega) the window manager for the desktop environment yo | 01:37 |
| maxamillion | virtualization software* | 01:37 |

| maxamillion | uhmm... yeah, that's a good way to put it .... | 01:40 |
| maxamillion | Kasplatt: basically windows handles steam and counterstrike a certain way, and even though cedega might try to "copy cat" the way that happens ... it isn't perfect | 01:41 |
| Kasplatt | maxamillion, yes ? | 01:41 |
| BFTD | where's jester? | 01:42 |
| maxamillion | BFTD: no clue | 01:42 |
| BFTD | pity | 01:42 |
| maxamillion | why so? | 01:42 |
| BFTD | I wonder what type of bot ubotu is | 01:43 |
| maxamillion | i think its an eggdrop ... could be wrong though | 01:43 |
| tonyyarusso | It's a supybot currently - possibly to change to a custom-written | 01:44 |
| Kasplatt | maxamillion, so lets say I use beryl as a window manager, and I run Counter-Strike. and then say, someone writes me a message in MSN (which I have running on another 'side' of the cube) and turn the cube around to go to the MSN and write back to the person who wrote to me, and then go back to playing. What is the problem with that ? Sorry for being thick, but I don't really get it. | 01:44 |
| Kasplatt | Could that cause my Xserver to crash/mess up ? | 01:45 |
| maxamillion | Kasplatt: in theory that should work, but i don't know if beryl could handle alt+tab to minize counterstrike if you had msn on the same workspace | 01:45 |
| maxamillion | Kasplatt: could it? ... sure ... alot of things can, but something like that would just be a program crash and you can just restart the X server and everything would be fine | 01:46 |
| Kasplatt | Okay. | 01:46 |
| maxamillion | or atleast it should be fine ... i've never seen a program that crashes out X cause it to not be able to restart | 01:47 |
| Kasplatt | But we actually started talking about AIGLX being on my sources.list. And that I "have" to make a new one through source-o-matic to get rar or unrar. And since AIGLX is not on the universe "package" I asked if it would run without problems. | 01:48 |

| tute666 | maxamillion: :D gnome is much simple, it just uses the x11 thingy | 02:22 |
| tute666 | Kasplatt: unrar e filename | 02:22 |
| Eagle_101 | grazie, ok thanks, I would rather not be trying to fix sound if I possibly can >.> | 02:22 |
| comradec | maxamillion: yea but it has to use something to select those and launch that file | 02:22 |
| Kasplatt | tute666, thanks | 02:22 |
| tute666 | or unrar x filename (with directories) | 02:22 |
| maxamillion | tute666: xfce does too | 02:22 |
| Kasplatt | _3oo3, me neither | 02:22 |
| Kasplatt | tute666, guess that is better | 02:22 |
| _3oo3 | well, so what is it | 02:22 |
| comradec | I dont want to depend on gdm to choose what windows manager I want to launch | 02:22 |
| tute666 | _3oo3: ubuntu with xfce as a desktop | 02:23 |
| grazie | Eagle_101: media players like xmms and audacious have a visual graphic output too (v.good indication) | 02:23 |
| Eagle_101 | mmm ok, I will try that :D | 02:23 |
| tute666 | maxamillion: mh, not sure. i cant get composite chars to work. it just ignores me holding shift down | 02:23 |
| tute666 | lets see is ubuntu-es knows someting about it | 02:24 |
| Kasplatt | you could also take a big bass and put your hands to it to feel the sound... lol, | 02:24 |
| Eagle_101 | grazie, looks like the commands like amixer ect are working ok | 02:24 |
| _3oo3 | tute666: yeah someone said that earlier, but I don't know what that means | 02:24 |
| tute666 | _3oo3: the graphical thingy changes slightly. apart from that, nothing | 02:25 |
| Eagle_101 | Kasplatt, that would work :D just I don't want to wake the place up right now :P | 02:25 |
| Kasplatt | Oh... hehe :P | 02:25 |
| Eagle_101 | I heard loud sounds tend to wake folks up | 02:26 |
| Kasplatt | It's a fact. | 02:26 |
| Kasplatt | :P | 02:26 |
| Kasplatt | where do cedega files go ? | 02:27 |
| Kasplatt | Eagle_101, You don't hear anything at all ? | 02:27 |
| Eagle_101 | Kasplatt, very little (has to be loud) | 02:27 |
| Kasplatt | Eagle_101, Ah, yes :) | 02:27 |
| Eagle_101 | and well I don't think "testing linux" is a good reason for waking folks up :P | 02:28 |
| grazie | Eagle_101: I usually use alsamizer (in terminal) to check the channels. MM at the bottom of a channel indicates muting. Use 'sudo alsactl store' to save settings. | 02:28 |
| Kasplatt | lol | 02:28 |
| Eagle_101 | grazie, thanks | 02:28 |
| grazie | alsamixer* | 02:29 |
| Kasplatt | Eagle_101, that would let you find out at least. ppl come and tell you to turn it down = it works :P | 02:29 |
| Eagle_101 | Kasplatt, yeah, but then they ask wtf am I playing loud music for :P | 02:29 |
| Kasplatt | lol | 02:30 |
| Kasplatt | :D | 02:30 |
| Eagle_101 | lol, I don't play much music... so it would be rather odd :P | 02:30 |
| Eagle_101 | ah yeah grazie one of them is mute | 02:30 |
| Eagle_101 | :S | 02:30 |
| grazie | master and pcm are usually the ones to look for, but sometimes there's others that can cause no sound to be output | 02:32 |
| Eagle_101 | yeah master was mute :S | 02:32 |
| grazie | so why you bothered anyway? | 02:32 |
| _3oo3 | tute666: can you be more clear? | 02:33 |
| Eagle_101 | grazie, so that others can use this computer | 02:33 |

| tonyyarusso | ComputerHermit: erm, why would you want to? | 02:44 |
| _3oo3 | ok, for instance, let's use slackware as one comparison, and freeBSD as another, for a non-linux comparison | 02:44 |
| Eagle_101 | _3oo3, that I honestly don't know, I'm new myself | 02:45 |
| tute666 | tonyyarusso: speed. | 02:45 |
| === _3oo3 slaps his head | ||
| R[a] ndom | _3oo3, this isn't really a dev channel, its mostly a help-the-noobs channel | 02:45 |

| _3oo3 | i mean, is there anyone in the world of ubuntu, from end user to developer, that can explain what it even is?! | 02:46 |
| ComputerHermit | sometime like that | 02:46 |
| j1mc | xubuntu is a mutant . . . it emerged from the swamps as a small, cute mouse . . . but it grew . . . | 02:46 |
| R[a] ndom | _3oo3, I feel for you man.. can't you google for that kind of stuff? | 02:46 |
| j1mc | _3oo3: it's an operating system. | 02:47 |

| ComputerHermit | R[a] ndom you dont like music and chicks and guitars | 02:47 |
| R[a] ndom | _3oo3, and please at least acknowledge that what youre asking is not terribly important to most users. | 02:47 |
| tonyyarusso | ComputerHermit: Well, I don't really know about doing the whole system from scratch, but: You could install a minimal system from the alternate CD, install build tools (build-essential, pbuilder, whatever else you like) and do the rest from there. | 02:47 |
| _3oo3 | j1mc: wow dude, dont waste my time | 02:48 |
| ComputerHermit | yea I used linux for a few years now I like deb | 02:48 |
| ComputerHermit | this is my first time useing deb | 02:48 |
| ComputerHermit | though | 02:48 |
| tonyyarusso | ComputerHermit: Would take a while of course, but you must be used to that. pbuilder gives you the .deb, so you still have the package management goodness, but it's a deb compiled on your own system. | 02:48 |
| ComputerHermit | :-\ | 02:48 |

| _3oo3 | Sanctusorium: at this point I'll take what I can get...I'm not real impressed by the community for ubuntu so far | 02:55 |
| tute666 | _3oo3: ubuntu is a debian system, with added user-friendlyness in the avatar of pretty much: GUI's for most common customization and setup/installation tasks | 02:55 |
| _3oo3 | ok, so it's debian with a polished installer, is what I'm hearing | 02:55 |
| Eagle_101 | _3oo3, hate to tell you I don't know this OS inside and out | 02:55 |
| _3oo3 | Eagle_101: that's fine | 02:55 |
| Eagle_101 | if you want people who know that, I would try somewhere like gentoo :S | 02:56 |

| tute666 | _3oo3: GUI's for most common installation/setup tasks. | 02:57 |
| Sanctusorium | Ubuntu relies LESS on the shell | 02:57 |
| Sanctusorium | And more on the GUI... | 02:57 |
| Sanctusorium | However... | 02:57 |
| Eagle_101 | _3oo3, I guess I can say that installing xubuntu is about as easy as installing XP (minus the product key ;) ) | 02:57 |

| meborc | yeah... me too... as it takes a while to boot, it would be nice to read something :) | 01:07 |
| meborc | maybe a rss feed of some newspaper :) | 01:07 |
| TheSheep | the changelog of the most recent update ;) | 01:10 |
| meborc | yeah... because, the options are really endless... even simple fortune cookie stuff or some nice quotes from books would be great | 01:11 |
| TheSheep | actually, I'd like to have some feedback of what is happening | 01:12 |
| TheSheep | I'm aware that "normal user" doesn't care | 01:12 |
| TheSheep | and that I can enable the full-blown text kernel log | 01:13 |
| TheSheep | but I liked the 6.06 way | 01:13 |
| meborc | i agree that it was both informative and sleek by the looks... is there documentation why was it cropped? | 01:13 |
| TheSheep | I don't know, but I can guess | 01:14 |
| R[a] ndom | this is supposed to be really 'noob' friendly, and noobs might be scared by text flashing and stuff I guess | 01:17 |
| R[a] ndom | vista shows a black screen with a bar when it boots :P | 01:17 |
| meborc | haha... haven't tested vista yet... waitind for SP1 before even trying... way too buggy yet | 01:19 |
| R[a] ndom | I dont care if its buggy or not, its useless anyway | 01:19 |
| R[a] ndom | I just installed it so I can learn what theyve changed | 01:20 |
| TheSheep | meborc: backup your linux partitions before your do | 01:20 |
| R[a] ndom | as I'm going to have to support people who use it | 01:20 |
| R[a] ndom | TheSheep, has it been trashing partitions? I havent heard of that happening since the betas.. and that was just the MBR | 01:20 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: trashing mbr and changing the partition order, at least | 01:21 |
| meborc | hmm... i'll take that in mind... i probably will do a clean vista install and a clean ubuntu dual boot after... just to be safe :) ... and to have a superclean system | 01:21 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: which is enough to brak any linux installation | 01:22 |
| R[a] ndom | changing partition order? | 01:24 |
| R[a] ndom | I assume you mean just the partition tables, not actually moving around data | 01:24 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: yes, the order of partitions in the partition table | 01:25 |
| R[a] ndom | I'd be surprised if this still happens in the release version.. | 01:25 |
| R[a] ndom | linkage? | 01:25 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: so you should be good with a backup of just few first sectors of your disk ;) | 01:25 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: no linkage, just personal experiences | 01:25 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: Windows XP did the same, btw | 01:25 |
| TheSheep | and 2k | 01:26 |
| R[a] ndom | don't rule out a hardware issue then. | 01:26 |
| R[a] ndom | cause thats not normal behaviour | 01:26 |
| TheSheep | that's normal behavior of windows installers to rearrange the order of partitions if your partition table doesn't list them in the order they appear on the disk | 01:27 |
| R[a] ndom | oh I see | 01:27 |
| R[a] ndom | so why would that matter? | 01:27 |
| TheSheep | I cannot imagine a hardware issue that would cause the same behaviour :) | 01:27 |
| R[a] ndom | as long as the right one is bootable.. | 01:27 |
| TheSheep | well, suppose you have "/dev/hda5" mounted as your /usr partition... | 01:28 |
| R[a] ndom | ..yeah | 01:28 |
| R[a] ndom | you'd have to change like 2 lines in your fstab | 01:28 |
| TheSheep | or "/dev/hda7" as /boot and then separate "/dev/hda8" as / | 01:28 |
| R[a] ndom | assuming your fstab is the old style | 01:28 |
| R[a] ndom | that doesn't recognise actual disks | 01:28 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: yes, and you have to change them without a working linux | 01:28 |
| R[a] ndom | UUID=2b5cb9e2-e8f4-42f5-bf92-8aa0f92b786f /home xfs defaults 0 2 | 01:29 |
| R[a] ndom | mine uses UUIDs | 01:29 |
| R[a] ndom | so it doesnt matter | 01:29 |
| R[a] ndom | all edgy fstabs are like this | 01:29 |
| TheSheep | plus, most users don't even know they have an fstab | 01:29 |
| TheSheep | sure, that's a *workaround* for buggy windows installers | 01:29 |
| R[a] ndom | .. | 01:29 |
| TheSheep | plus, lotsa operating systems that don't have it | 01:30 |
| TheSheep | bsd, solaris | 01:30 |
| R[a] ndom | so the lesson is, keep your partition tables in order if you want to dual boot | 01:31 |
| R[a] ndom | or learn how to use the fstab | 01:31 |
| R[a] ndom | or use edgy, and your set anyway :P | 01:31 |
| TheSheep | listen to your Microsoft Mistress XD | 01:31 |
| R[a] ndom | oh I see | 01:32 |
| R[a] ndom | at least you didn't spell it with a $ | 01:32 |
| TheSheep | the lesson is, never trust a windows installer to not fuck up anything without even displaying a single warning | 01:32 |
| R[a] ndom | never trust any installer | 01:32 |
| TheSheep | true | 01:32 |
| R[a] ndom | it isnt the windows installer that got my 300gb drive formatted | 01:33 |
| R[a] ndom | it was ubuntu | 01:33 |
| TheSheep | bugs happen | 01:33 |
| R[a] ndom | as a combination of poor design and user error :P | 01:33 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: at least not without any warning | 01:33 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: the reordering happens in the "preparing for installation" phase, where you didn't even select the partition to install to | 01:33 |
| TheSheep | and no information about it, of course | 01:34 |
| R[a] ndom | yeah yeah, I'm not saying that they /should/ do it that way | 01:34 |
| TheSheep | of course, there are distros with much worse "automated" installers | 01:34 |
| R[a] ndom | I'm saying that they do, and it isnt that big of a deal to work around it | 01:34 |
| TheSheep | the thing that aggravates me is that while in most installers it's a bug, I'm pretty sure it's "by design" in this case | 01:35 |
| R[a] ndom | yeah, windows is probably designed assuming that the partitions are in order | 01:35 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: not Vista | 01:36 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: it will put the partition on which you installed it first :) | 01:36 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: at least it did when we tried it yesterday | 01:36 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: the partition was second in disk order | 01:37 |
| meborc | then it is good i always have win partition as the 1. one :D | 01:37 |
| R[a] ndom | yeah, thats what Ive always done | 01:38 |
| R[a] ndom | simply because thats what windows needs to not shit itself. heh | 01:38 |
| R[a] ndom | I didnt even think it would work otherwise | 01:38 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: well, it could just say "no, I won't isntall there, it's not the first partition" ;) | 01:39 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: btw, windows is the only modern OS where users need to know hwat disks and what partitions there are in their box | 01:39 |
| R[a] ndom | every os needs you to know if you're dual booting, otherwise it would trash everything | 01:40 |
| R[a] ndom | and windows doesnt need you to know if the disk is empty.. | 01:40 |
| R[a] ndom | btw you have no idea how funny it is me playing defense for windows. heh | 01:41 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: but I'm not attacking... | 01:41 |
| TheSheep | it would be so marvelous if there was a standard for multiboot :) | 01:42 |
| R[a] ndom | "vista is the only modern os [that still] ..." "never trust a windows installer to not fuck up..." "[the UUID in the fstab is] a *workaround* for buggy windows installers" | 01:43 |
| TheSheep | some kind of "boot table" on the disk | 01:43 |
| R[a] ndom | yeah, I agree.. I really expected vista to play nice | 01:43 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: I don't say that is bad to make the user know his partition | 01:43 |
| TheSheep | R[a] ndom: I just say it's uncommon | 01:44 |
| TheSheep | there are workarounds for unix-related bugs in windows too | 01:44 |
| TheSheep | mostly when it comes to networking, though | 01:45 |
| R[a] ndom | anyway, I need to get ready or else I'm not going to school :) | 01:47 |

| meborc | you are missing "install" | 03:05 |
| Kasplatt | yes. | 03:05 |
| Kasplatt | is that the same as x-window-system-dev ? | 03:06 |
| meborc | a good Q... i'm not sure :) | 03:07 |
| meborc | it should be... in feisty | 03:07 |

| Kasplatt | cedega | 03:10 |
| Kasplatt | CVS build | 03:10 |
| Kasplatt | meborc, what to do thne ? | 03:11 |
| Kasplatt | * then | 03:11 |
| meborc | ahh... never tried that... | 03:11 |
| meborc | have you tried to install it from apt? | 03:11 |
| Kasplatt | I am already running AIGLX... but I don't know if that has anything to do with x-window-system-dev | 03:11 |
| meborc | or what is the error message when you compile? | 03:12 |
| Kasplatt | meborc, E: package x-window-system-dev was not found | 03:12 |
| meborc | then do "sudo apt-get install x-window-system-dev" | 03:12 |
| Kasplatt | meborc, or you can just help me get rar working :P | 03:13 |
| meborc | it's a dev package... it should not interfere with your setup | 03:13 |
| Kasplatt | meborc, I did. it didn't work | 03:13 |
| meborc | should is a good word though | 03:13 |
| meborc | hmm... | 03:13 |
| Kasplatt | that is what gives me the E: package not found | 03:13 |
| meborc | for rar try "sudo apt-get install rar unrar" | 03:13 |
| meborc | oh... you have multiverse universe repos enabled? | 03:14 |
| Kasplatt | nope | 03:14 |
| Kasplatt | what do I put in sources.list to get it ? | 03:14 |
| meborc | ok... do this: | 03:14 |
| meborc | sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:15 |
| meborc | and delete the "#" mark from the lines with web addresses on them | 03:15 |
| meborc | there should be 2-6 of them in total | 03:15 |
| Kasplatt | all of them ? | 03:15 |
| meborc | no | 03:15 |
| meborc | only from the ones starting with deb | 03:15 |
| meborc | or scr | 03:15 |
| Kasplatt | then to apt-get install rar unrar ? | 03:16 |
| meborc | then to sudo apt-get update | 03:16 |
| Kasplatt | yes | 03:16 |
| Kasplatt | I did | 03:16 |
| meborc | and THEN sudo apt-get install rar unrar | 03:16 |
| meborc | :) | 03:16 |
| Kasplatt | think its working :) | 03:16 |
| meborc | so you should have rar working | 03:17 |
| Kasplatt | how long is the trial ? | 03:17 |
| meborc | this is only rar... | 03:17 |
| meborc | cadega is a different matter :) | 03:17 |
| meborc | you tried to compile cvs and it gave you error about the x-window... | 03:18 |
| meborc | try to install that package next | 03:18 |
| meborc | and you should also install build-essential if you want to compile programs yourself... | 03:19 |
| meborc | as it has some progz you need :) | 03:19 |
| Kasplatt | meborc, thaaanks dude ! | 03:19 |
| meborc | no prob | 03:20 |
| Kasplatt | meborc, how do I open .rpm files or something ? | 03:20 |
| meborc | well.. rpm files are ment for red hat package manager | 03:21 |
| meborc | you should use deb | 03:21 |
| meborc | you can convert rpm into deb | 03:21 |
| Kasplatt | okay. | 03:21 |
| Kasplatt | thx | 03:21 |
| meborc | by using a command alien | 03:21 |

| maxamillion | ffxr: define "dock" | 05:23 |
| rmd_ | ffxr, you can add launchers to an xfce4 panel | 05:24 |
| rmd_ | if you're looking for "eye candy" you'll need a- or gdesklets | 05:24 |
| rmd_ | not nett | 05:24 |
| rmd_ | err | 05:24 |
| rmd_ | not need, per se | 05:24 |
| rmd_ | but they've got the "eye candy" | 05:25 |
| ffxr | as in osx like dock.. something pretty.. for either for app switching or app launching.. | 05:25 |
| rmd_ | adesklets = lower dependencies, almost none | 05:25 |
| maxamillion | rmd_: i was thinking that ffxr was thinking something like the OS X .... there we go | 05:25 |
| ffxr | yeah eye candy.. | 05:25 |
| rmd_ | gdesklets = gnome dependencies | 05:25 |
| ffxr | yeah.. dont fancy that gdesklets.. | 05:25 |
| maxamillion | ffxr: probably best bet for a OS X like dock will be the one from e17 | 05:25 |
| rmd_ | ffxr, why? | 05:25 |
| rmd_ | maxamillion, enlightenment? | 05:25 |
| ffxr | all the depencies... rmd_ Or is there that many> | 05:25 |
| ffxr | maxamillion, whatr it that? | 05:26 |
| maxamillion | ffxr: you might want to think about trying out DreamLinux (not to discourage you from Xubuntu, but DreamLinux has Xfce and a "dock") | 05:26 |
| rmd_ | ffxr, *shrug* i use gdesklets for the launcher app and for the desktop clock. i noticed zero performance drop and the download, dependencies included, was not that great. | 05:26 |
| maxamillion | ffxr: http://www.dreamlinux.com.br/english/index.html | 05:26 |
| ffxr | oh.. maxamillion, i just set spent, the last couple of weeks setting up AMD64 xubuntu.. so m not reaslly ready to change just yet.. | 05:26 |
| maxamillion | rmd_: yeah ... enlightenment17 | 05:26 |
| maxamillion | ffxr: oh ok ... well lemme get you a tutorial on how to get it on Xubuntu then | 05:27 |
| ffxr | thanks for the link tho.. ll have a look over it... | 05:27 |
| rmd_ | i notice that dreamlinux screenshots make use of the xfce4 compositor | 05:28 |
| ffxr | k rmd_ what other features does that gdesklets have ? i do like the look of it.. but that g at the front always put me off... | 05:28 |
| maxamillion | ffxr: here is a screenshot of dreamlinux http://dreamlinux.incubadora.fapesp.br/portal/arquivos/desktop.jpg | 05:28 |
| maxamillion | rmd_: yeah its running xfce4.4 and has "real" compositing | 05:29 |
| rmd_ | ffxr, the best thing to do is just download the package and try it out. you can always autoremove the app and the dependencies later. i like that it has an extremely functional "shell" that you can use to browse desklets and manipulate them. gdesklets are more configurable and more interactive than adesklets. | 05:29 |
| maxamillion | there isn't an e17 package | 05:29 |
| === maxamillion double checks that claim | ||
| ffxr | maxamillion, yeah i like that dock.. so dreamlinux is built upon xfce.. so it should be relatively simple to get it on xubuntu.. | 05:30 |

| ffxr | i dont mind building from source | 05:30 |
| rmd_ | maxamillion, yeah. i used it for a little bit to make things purdy, but then the performance decrease got to me, as well as the fact that vlc would stop displaying correctly if i brought another window to the front.. and a gazillion other annoyances. | 05:30 |
| maxamillion | rmd_: i think the enlightenment package in the repos is e16 though | 05:30 |
| maxamillion | ffxr: ok | 05:30 |
| maxamillion | ffxr: http://technofreakatchennai.wordpress.com/2006/11/19/e17-on-ubuntu-a-brief-enlightenment/ | 05:30 |
| ffxr | yeah ok thanks rmd_ ll might well come back to gdesklets.. i could never get them adesklets to work... | 05:31 |
| rmd_ | ffxr, what you do mean you couldn't get them to work? | 05:31 |
| ffxr | right max, ll have a look at that now.. thanks.. so that dock is called enlightenment | 05:31 |
| maxamillion | ffxr: well, the dock is called engage ... its part of the enlightenment17 environment | 05:32 |
| ffxr | i dunno rmd_ .. it was that long ago.. just remember them being a pain to config.. | 05:32 |
| maxamillion | ffxr: but i don't know of any other way of getting engage without e17 | 05:32 |
| rmd_ | ffxr, i'm not sure what you're talking about. i just ran the .pl, tested it, and registered it. | 05:32 |
| ffxr | ok.. maxamillion.. thanks.. ll have a wonder round the enlightment site and that see what my options are... | 05:33 |

| maxamillion | ffxr: yeah | 05:35 |
| rmd_ | ffxr, for what it's worth i can't get the damn launcher to work right now in gdesklets. | 05:35 |

| oops | one question, do I need to be hooked via ethernet for this command? | 05:37 |
| oops | sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 05:37 |
| rmd_ | oops, you need to be connected to the internet, i believe | 05:38 |
| oops | or when installing Rutil, it says: sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev | 05:38 |
| oops | to solve dependencies | 05:38 |
| oops | again, I must be connected? | 05:38 |
| maxamillion | oops: yes | 05:38 |
| rmd_ | you need to be connected to solve dependencies, yes | 05:38 |
| rmd_ | any time you use apt-get install, you need to be connected | 05:38 |
| kalikiana | or you use the install cd ;) | 05:39 |
| ffxr | its on the cd them packages | 05:39 |
| kalikiana | synaptic has a way to add the cd to the sources | 05:39 |
| oops | so in those to cases, essential linux-headers and libgtk2.0 I just need the live CD/install cd? | 05:41 |
| rmd_ | okayokay | 05:42 |
| rmd_ | yeah | 05:42 |
| rmd_ | you can do it that way | 05:42 |
| === sacater [n=sacater@host86-144-191-96.range86-144.btcentralplus.com] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| oops | what do I have to type to get them then? apt-get? | 05:42 |
| rmd_ | oops, only if the package is present on the cd | 05:42 |
| oops | hum, how do I know that? ^^' | 05:42 |
| rmd_ | oops, if you're trying to upgrade something, or install something not present on the cd, then you need to be connected | 05:42 |
| maxamillion | ok ... i gotta run to class ... bbl | 05:42 |
| oops | I'm trying to install Rutil, and it has those dependencies | 05:43 |
| rmd_ | oops, you add the cd to your possible sources (using synaptic) and then you try to install it. if you're not connected and the cd is in, it's not on the cd. alternatively, there may be a list somewhere of all the packages on the cd. | 05:43 |
| ffxr | im not sure libgtk2.0 is on the cd.. build-essential is definately on the alternate cd... | 05:43 |
| oops | "if you're not connected and the cd is in, it's not on the cd" if im not connected to what? O.o the cd as possible source in synaptic? or internet? | 05:44 |
| rmd_ | if you add the cd to your list of possible sources | 05:45 |
| rmd_ | and try to install with the cd in place | 05:45 |
| rmd_ | BUT you are not connected to the internet | 05:45 |
| rmd_ | you will not be able to install anything that is NOT on the cd. i think i'm just making an ass of myself, overcomplicating the obvious | 05:45 |
| oops | not, I kinda got this time xD | 05:46 |
| oops | got it* | 05:46 |
| oops | do you know if libgtk2.0 is in the cd? | 05:46 |
| kalikiana | it is | 05:47 |
| oops | ok thanks | 05:47 |
| kalikiana | as xubuntu is 'based' on gtk ;) | 05:47 |
| oops | so instead of using those two command lines, I just go to synaptic, use the CD as on of the sources, install those two dependencies | 05:47 |
| oops | and go on with the Rutil installation | 05:47 |
| oops | did I missed anything? | 05:48 |
| kalikiana | no, that's it. | 05:48 |
| kalikiana | of course you can still use either apt-get or synaptic. :) | 05:48 |
| kalikiana | only I don't remember how to add the cd as a source via apt. | 05:49 |
| oops | great! | 05:50 |
| rmd_ | hmm | 05:50 |
| ffxr | software sources -> third party -> add cdrom | 05:52 |

| grazie | Lord_Maynoth: I don't think it's sensible to install both gnome and kde myself | 11:37 |
| Lord_Maynoth | why? | 11:37 |
| tute666 | Lord_Maynoth: basically, the login screen runs the dektop you choose | 11:37 |
| tute666 | grazie: ive got: xfce, fluxbox, ubuntu, enlightenment | 11:37 |
| tute666 | plus gnome with enlightenment, gnome with xfwm | 11:38 |
| Lord_Maynoth | I would like to install kde, xfce and gnome | 11:38 |
| Lord_Maynoth | hehe | 11:38 |
| tute666 | Lord_Maynoth: go batshit if you have the disk space | 11:38 |
| tute666 | eventually you'll only use one or two | 11:38 |
| Lord_Maynoth | hhahaha | 11:39 |
| tute666 | plus, a few apps from some desktop specific packages are great | 11:39 |

| Lord_Maynoth | I like nerolinux | 11:39 |
| Lord_Maynoth | myself | 11:39 |
| Lord_Maynoth | even though its closed source | 11:39 |
| tute666 | never tried | 11:39 |
| Lord_Maynoth | I will prolly go with k3b when it gets more stable | 11:39 |
| Lord_Maynoth | it only makes coasters | 11:39 |
| Lord_Maynoth | on my rig :C | 11:39 |
| grazie | Lord_Maynoth: k3b ain't going to get any more stable than it already is...you have another problem | 11:41 |
| tute666 | yup. the backend is failing, not k3b | 11:43 |
| Lord_Maynoth | never had an issue on nero for windows | 11:43 |
| Lord_Maynoth | or nerolinux | 11:43 |

| Kasplatt | does VMware use a *lot* of the CPU ? | 11:46 |
| Kasplatt | and what is the other one called ? | 11:46 |
| Lord_Maynoth | I do something neat | 11:55 |
| Lord_Maynoth | instead of VMware | 11:55 |

| Kasplatt | Lord_Maynoth, another PC ? | 11:56 |

| Lord_Maynoth | its a lot faster than vmware ever would be | 11:57 |
| Lord_Maynoth | hehe | 11:57 |
| Kasplatt | Lord_Maynoth, There is another one. What is it called ? not VMware but the other one | 11:58 |
| Lord_Maynoth | do I need to install anything else besides xubuntu-desktop | 11:58 |
| Lord_Maynoth | I can't remember | 11:58 |
| Lord_Maynoth | I don't mess with it | 11:58 |
| Lord_Maynoth | there is one built into the kernel | 11:58 |

| rmd_ | just so everyone knows | 12:00 |
| rmd_ | if you use the "minimized applications" option for the xfce desktop | 12:00 |
| rmd_ | AND you use conky | 12:00 |
| rmd_ | you need to set it as a derivative or whatever | 12:00 |
| rmd_ | override | 12:00 |
| rmd_ | or, it will piss you off to no end for quite some time | 12:00 |
| Lord_Maynoth | anyone here running xfce 4.4.0 | 12:01 |
| Lord_Maynoth | how do you think it compares in functionality to the current version of gnome in edgy | 12:01 |
| Jester45 | its called qemu | 12:01 |
| Jester45 | and they both use more ram and cpu than the real thing | 12:02 |
| rmd_ | Lord_Maynoth, besides being about a gazillion times fast? | 12:02 |
| rmd_ | faster* | 12:02 |
| Jester45 | Lord_Maynoth: you mixing DE there | 12:02 |
| Lord_Maynoth | ? | 12:03 |
| rmd_ | i need a timer app... | 12:03 |
| rmd_ | sigh | 12:04 |
| rmd_ | why are the only teatimer apps listed for kde or gnome? i know the devs have at least *heard* of gtk | 12:04 |
| Jester45 | gnome uses gtk lots | 12:05 |
