Shaba1nope maxamillion  that is NOTICE12:22
Shaba1ok hitting it twice hold on12:22
Shaba1Ok there that did it12:22
maxamillionShaba1: awesome .... as far as how to get rid of ChatZilla, i'm really not sure ... i've never done that12:23
Shaba1hmmm12:23
riciShaba1: settings | preferred applications   is probably what you want12:23
ormiretis chatzilla a firefox extension?12:24
maxamillionormiret: yes12:24
ormiretTools->Addons then and you can uninstall from there12:24
Shaba1nope nothing under Tools-Addons in firefox12:25
Shaba1I *think* what happened is that I chose chatzilla from Add/Remove Applications window( which I suppose is just a front end for Symaptic) and it install mozilla along with it.12:27
Shaba1No big problem12:27
Shaba1but I would like to get rid of them both12:27
Shaba1I will just have to get use to xchat12:27

Shaba1Guys thanks12:32
Shaba1I am not a total newbie12:32
Shaba1infact I am a windows systems administrator for a small nonprofit12:32
riciyou could have installed chatzilla inside firefox, and probably still can :)12:32

ricibut if you prefer xchat, that's cool.12:33
Shaba1I built thier 28 workstation and 1 server network12:33
riciif you want to make firefox your default browser, you can do it in settings, i believe.12:33
Shaba1Wired the whole thing with cat 5 cable myself12:33
Shaba1but linux is a whole new world to me12:33
Shaba1rici thanks12:33
Shaba1I got rid of chatzilla,mozilla and composer12:34
sigmamu188shaba1: you ever get xubuntu running on the laptop?12:34
Shaba1using the Add/Rimove program apple12:34
Shaba1yep sigmamu188  I am talking to you from it right now12:34
Shaba1:)12:34
sigmamu188tight12:34
sigmamu188were you able to use gparted to resize the ntfs partition12:34
maxamillionsigmamu188: wheeler?12:34
Shaba1It only took me from 8am Sunday to 4 am monday to do it too :)12:34
sigmamu188whats up miller?12:35
Shaba1yep12:35
maxamillionsigmamu188: nodda bro, just workin'12:35
Shaba1I had to download and burn a live cd of gparted12:35
sigmamu188maxamillion: so just sitting at a computer watching webcams12:35
Shaba1now the thing is when and if I need the space back will it resize that ntfs partiton and FILESYSTEM without me losing windwos12:36
riciShaba1: to put a link on the desktop, by the way, you just drag it.12:36
Shaba1windows12:36
Shaba1really12:36
Shaba1hold on rici12:36
Shaba1let me try that12:36
maxamillionsigmamu188: well, yes and no ... i'm supposed to be writing some software and working on some other server project but the boss left 30 minutes ago so i am just manning the phones and the irc channels :)12:36
Shaba1wait rici  you mean a appication shortcut12:36
sigmamu188so do you still have windows running on the comp too?12:36
Shaba1or a web link shourcut12:36
sigmamu188lol12:36
Shaba1Yepper12:37
sigmamu188cool12:37
riciShaba1: no, i meant a url shortcut12:37
sigmamu188so just a live cd of gpartedm where did you get it?12:37
sigmamu188maxamillion: are you going to the formal?12:37
ricidrag the link from a firefox page, drop it on the desktop, and a dialog should pop up asking you to give it a name12:37
maxamillionsigmamu188: yeah, i dual boot because sometimes i have to map to windows shares, printers, or servers and some of that is just more easily done on windows ... but nothing I own runs windows ;)12:37
Shaba1I need to reorder the grub menu though but there are instructions on how to do that on the ubuntu site12:37
maxamillionsigmamu188: of course! i'll be there all suited up12:37
Shaba1sigmamu188,  I think the site is www.gparted.org12:38
sigmamu188maxamillion: me too, im taking jen ram12:38
Shaba1I think12:38
Shaba1I have it short cuted ??(if that is a word) on my windows machine at home12:38
Shaba1I am on the laptop right now12:38
maxamillionShaba1: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/12:39
maxamillion!gparted12:39
ubotuGParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php12:39
sigmamu188shabal: cool i check it out i need to put a fat 32 swap so i can download and access from window12:39
maxamillion:)12:39
maxamillionsigmamu188: fat32 swap? ... you mean just a shared partition?12:39
sigmamu188yea12:39
sigmamu188that what i mean12:39
maxamillionoh ok12:39
maxamillioni was a tad confused12:39
sigmamu188i cant write to the ntfs on my 250g hd12:40
sigmamu188with linux12:40
sigmamu188i can access all my movies and music12:40
maxamillionsigmamu188: yeah, you can ... but from what i have heard the drivers are a pain12:40
sigmamu188but i need to be able to run torrent and access files from windows12:40
maxamillionsigmamu188: and they aren't stable ... so i recommend a fat32 shared .... i do that at work, keep most of my files on a 120gb shared fat32 partition12:40
sigmamu188i think im gonna make a 100G fat32 partition12:41
sigmamu188but i dont want to lose the data on my drive12:41
sigmamu188can i do that with gparted?12:41
maxamillionsigmamu188: yeah, it can resize and it will graphically show you how much already has data on it12:42
sigmamu188maxamillion: i need you widsom to handle this problem12:42
sigmamu188maxamillion: im running a nvidia geforce 680012:42
sigmamu188dual head12:42
Shaba1I so not thing so sigmamu18812:42
sigmamu188and im dual screened on xubuntu12:42
Shaba1rici,  you still here12:42
Shaba1you drage what??12:42
maxamillionsigmamu188: yeah, i have dual 21" HiDef monitors here at work running dual DVI out of a nvidia 7900GTX12:43
sigmamu188and i cant figure out how to make the dvi output the default moniter12:43
sigmamu188it always makes the vga the default moniter12:43
maxamillionsigmamu188: yeah ... i dunno12:43
maxamillionsigmamu188: well, wait ....12:44
sigmamu188i dont want to use my flat panel the xtra12:44
sigmamu188ive tried to code twinview12:44
sigmamu188over and over and over again12:44
sigmamu188is there a way to map the bus address of the dvi head to be moniter 012:44
=== hyper_ch [n=hyper@84-75-60-32.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #xubuntu
sigmamu188apposed to the vga as moniter 012:45
maxamillionsigmamu188: you can either go out and get the newest nvidia drivers yourself or wait 3 weeks for them to be part of feisty, but the new drivers include an updated nvidia-settings application that let you do all that from a gui tool (that is actually nicer than the one the windows huggers use)12:45
sigmamu188at the nvidia website?12:46
maxamillionsigmamu188: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/screens/gparted_1_big.jpg <--- check that screenshot, each box is a partition and the yellow is the used space while white it the free space12:46
maxamillionsigmamu188: no, lemme get you a link .... there is a third party repo you can just use apt-get or aptitude to install it12:46
sigmamu188ive used gparted before12:47
maxamillionsigmamu188: oh ....12:47
maxamillionsigmamu188: i mis-understood the convo then12:47
Shaba1brb folks12:47
sigmamu188i just didn't know that it could resize or write ntfs12:47
sigmamu188it wouldnt let me do that months ago when i trued to install xubuntu on the old XPS12:48
maxamillionsigmamu188: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Beta_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29 <--- i know it says "beta" but they have been stable since this was written12:48
sigmamu188hey i just realized you could alt+tab on xubuntu12:49
riciShaba1: you drag the link.12:49
maxamillionsigmamu188: with those drivers you can run "sudo nvidia-settings" and it will give you the coolest nvidia gui you've ever seen12:49
Shaba1what does that do sigmamu18812:49
Shaba1what link12:49
Shaba1rici12:49
sigmamu188try it12:49
riciany link12:49
Shaba1what link12:49
ricithe one you want a desktop shortcut for12:49
sigmamu188shaba1:just like windows alt+tab12:50
maxamillionsigmamu188: you don't have to use those drivers if you don't want to, you could just wait until feisty comes out12:50
Shaba1But that is it rici. I wanted to find out how to create a shortcut on the desktop of a web page12:50
Shaba1I think you are mising what I said originally12:50
sigmamu188maxamillion: why can i use gedit12:50
riciyes, that's what i'm saying12:50
sigmamu188cant*12:50
Shaba1rici ok right now I am looking at the yahoo page in firefox12:51
riciyou put the mouse over top of the link to the webpage. push down on the mouse, don't release it. move the mouse until it is over the desktop. release it.12:51
Shaba1ther is no link to it12:51
maxamillionsigmamu188: oh yeah .... do "gksudo mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list" ... gedit it a gnome app that is part of ubuntu, not xubuntu12:51
Shaba1I am at the very page12:51
sigmamu188shaba1: right click and select add like12:51
sigmamu188link*12:51
ricithen drag it from the url location bar12:51
maxamillionsigmamu188: the site is for ubuntu, but all of the stuff applies to xubuntu since xubuntu is based off ubuntu12:51
sigmamu188maxamillion: thanks your my alphalphanator12:51
maxamillionlol12:52
Shaba1there is not that choice either sigmamu18812:52
Shaba1there is a send link choice12:53
riciShaba1: like i said, drag it from the url location bar at the top of the ff window12:53
Shaba1but looking at the help file that opens up your default email app and lets you email a link to that page to somone12:53
sigmamu188shaba1: are you trying to add to desktop?12:53
ricithe icon beside the url, actually.12:54
Shaba1url or address rice12:54
Shaba1rici but I got it now12:54
riciif you hold your mouse over the icon, a tooltip will pop up telling you that, too.12:55
maxamillionuhmmmm..... wow: http://www.linutop.com/12:55
riciyou can drag any link. bookmarks, tabs, fave bar, links in a webpage. try it. :)12:55
Shaba1ok thanks12:55
Shaba1brb12:56
sigmamu188cool the alt+tab follows the mouse screen to screen12:56
maxamillionsigmamu188: ctrl+alt+arrow_left (or arrow_right)  .... try that one out :)12:57
sigmamu188sweet12:57

joe4444i know exactly where the file i need is, so could i use the smbclient command to copy the file?01:00
maxamillionjoe4444: can't currently be done on xubuntu without a little bit of trickery01:00
maxamillionjoe4444: oh, yeah you can do that01:00
joe4444can you give me an example?01:01
maxamillionjoe4444: not off the top of my head, i don't really mess with smb shares to be honest01:01
joe4444k01:02
ricijoe4444: try:  smbget smb://host/share/path/to/file01:05
sigmamu188now if only i could play fear on xubuntu01:05
sigmamu188i would have no need for windows01:05
maxamillionsigmamu188: yeah ... i don't play games on computers so i don't really have that problem :)01:06
sigmamu188maxamillion: i dont either but i make an exception for F.E.A.R.01:07
maxamillionsigmamu188: fair enough01:07
joe4444rici, that seems to be working, but i'm not getting the right path...01:07
sigmamu188maxamillion: i had to add a gig of ram just to get it to run01:07
sigmamu188maximillion: it was killing frankendell01:08
ricijoe4444: you mean it's giving you some other file?01:08
sigmamu188frankendell = computer built with old processor and peripherals for the old xps because dell would not just mail me a new motherboard01:08
riciyou have to use / not \01:08
maxamillionsigmamu188: lol01:09
riciand you'll need to put quotes around it if it has spaces in it01:09
joe4444doesn't windows always create "master" shared folders like $D for the D:\ drive?01:09
joe4444this is what i'm trying...01:09
ricijoe4444: i don't know if all versions do that01:09
joe4444smbget -w=HODOR smb//joelaptop/$D/edgy.iso01:09
joe4444smb://01:09
ricii thought it was D$01:09
riciboy has it been a long time since i've played with windows01:10
joe4444yeah i'm trying to rid myself of it for good :)01:10
ricibut i don't know if that would be enabled for network access by default. i kinda doubt it01:10
riciyou probably need to explicitly share it on the windows machine01:10
joe4444it just keeps saying Downloaded 0b in 0 seconds, so i'm assuming that means i've got the wrong path01:10

joe4444well i also have an explicit share on the D drive but it's called (D) Data so the space is an issue... i'll try to rename it01:10

joe4444thanks!01:12
joe4444dumb question: xfburn can burn an iso, right?01:13
sigmamu188maximillion: do in need to add it as deb or deb-scr?01:15
sigmamu188maximillion: to the sources fiel01:15
sigmamu188src01:15
joe4444hmm... xfburn just shows "no info" when i try to burn this edgy iso =(01:16
maxamillionsigmamu188: that's a md5sum mismatch ... did you follow the link i gave you step by step or just throw the repositories in your sources.list and go with it?01:16
maxamillionjoe4444: xfburn is worthless ... try graveman or gnomebaker01:16
sigmamu188maximillion: threw into sorces and went with it01:17
sigmamu188lol01:17
sigmamu188let me try again01:17
maxamillionsigmamu188: there is something to be said for tutorials .... if people would read them :)01:17
ricisadly, they always read the most erroneous ones :)01:18
joe4444maxamillion, i can't find either in synaptic01:18
maxamillionjoe4444: do you have all the repos added?01:19
joe4444prob not, fresh install of xubuntu01:19
sigmamu188maximillion: actually it was because i didnt add the 64 bit repository01:19
maxamillionsigmamu188: ahhhhh, what proc you got in that rig?01:20
joe4444my laptop cd-rw kept failing to burn the edgy iso (698mb) so i just burned xubuntu (540mb) instead... my new desktop has a brand new burner so i'm trying to use xubuntu to burn the ubuntu-edgy iso01:20
maxamillionjoe4444: ah ok, well in synaptic go to Settings->Repositories and select the top 401:20
maxamillionjoe4444: and then you will probably need to click "reload" so it will go out and download the new info from the extra repos01:21
joe4444adding universe was enough to get graveman01:22

maxamillionjoe4444: yeah, give or take a day or two01:28
maxamillionsigmamu188: no, but i thought you said your problem with the repo was because you had a 64-bit processor but got the 32-bit repo01:28
joe4444heh, then i won't have edgy on this new box for very long :)01:28
sigmamu188it was01:28
sigmamu188when i added the 64-bit repo it no longer gave me the error01:29

joe4444i don't know much, but i've also heard it's a bad idea to mix 32-bit and 64-bit pkgs01:37
joe4444so if your kernel is 32-bit you shouldn't install anything 64-bit01:37

sigmamu188i didn't i jsut had to add the 64 bit repo along with the 32 bit repo to get the nvidia drivers to install01:38
joe4444that may mean it installed a 64-bit driver01:38
joe4444i'm not sure how to check01:39
joe4444try #ubuntu or #ubuntu-effects01:39

tonyyarussoIs XFCE significantly faster on low resources with one workspace comaparted to four?05:26
crdlbtonyyarusso, I don't see why it would be05:26
crdlbunless you set separate wallpapers or something05:27
tonyyarussocrdlb: some article claimed as much - seemed slightly hokey to me05:27
j1mccrdlb: how do you know?05:27
tonyyarussoYou can do that?05:27
crdlbnot that I know of05:27
maxamilliontonyyarusso: i could see some gain in memory consumption, but because of the way xfce handles it i don't entirely see how it would be a drastic increase in speed05:29

g4hhey folks. is anyone here familiar with fusesmb? i'm trying to install it but I've been having some difficulties08:28
maxamilliong4h: having issues installing it or using it?08:28
g4hinstalling08:28
maxamilliong4h: because i don't know much about using it, but installation should be just like any other app ... what seems to be the trouble?08:28
g4hwell first off it didnt come up under synaptic, so I suspect i have some missing items in my repositories, so i went and manually downloaded it. then during the config it couldnt fing the fuse header files, which also don't seem to be coming up in synaptic >.<08:30

g4hi've been waiting to gtfo of the states for a while now.08:33
maxamilliong4h: open synaptic and click on Settings->Repositories and then be sure to click the top 4, save and close that little pop up window, then click "reload" and search for it ... should be fine08:33
cellofellowgah, this M$ box is so screwy. I tried to run Ubuntu CD but got caught.08:35
g4hi'll assume you mean top 5 since cdrom is on the list, and theyre already checked, as wit heverything below them =x08:35
g4hpart of what has me stumped. it seems like it should have come right up. I did find a post that mentioned it had to be backported, but thats selected too.08:36
maxamilliong4h: what version of xubuntu you running?08:37
g4hheh, incoming noob question: how do i check that?08:38
maxamilliong4h: few ways but we will use this one: open a terminal window and type "cat /proc/version"08:39
somerville32Isn't that the kernel version?08:39
somerville32I thought that /etc/somethingoranother/issue was the distro version08:39

g4hlooks like it shows both08:41
maxamilliong4h: yeah, you are running Dapper-LTS08:41
maxamilliong4h: i am running Edgy which makes me a bad reference for how to do things on dapper08:42

=== maxamillion just noticed that edgy only had a 4 month release cycle
cellofellow4 months difference aint that much.08:44
maxamillionnot really08:45
maxamillionbut there are alot of applications updates08:45
cellofellowHoary2Dapper was 8 months, so they needed a catchup.08:45
maxamillionahhhh08:45
maxamillionwell dapper is LTS, they needed to test extensively08:45
maxamillionimo08:45
cellofellowany idea how to make winscp hide dotfiles?08:45
maxamillioncellofellow: negative08:46
cellofellowthat was the point. Apparently Shuttleworth had to pull teeth to get that extension.08:46
g4hso would i be able to update to edgy or would that require a new install?08:47
cellofellowit's very possible08:47
cellofellowchange all dapper to edgy in sources.list, and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade08:48
g4hrighto. *tends to that*08:49
maxamilliong4h: you would just need to edit a file and enter a couple commands in the command line .... like cellofellow said :)08:50

Ansertgf660011:23
gnomefreakthe nvidia 97xx drivers stopped support for geforce4 cards. in feisty you will need to install nvidia-glx-legacy drivers11:23
gnomefreakAnsert: im not sure if that is geforce4 or not11:24
Ansertas repair it ? know you ?11:25
gnomefreakAnsert: we dont support installin gthem from nvidia.com as it builds its own kernel modules11:25
maxamilliongnomefreak: naw ... a gf6600 should be on the new drivers, i am running the new ones on a gf6200 at home without a problem11:25
gnomefreakmaxamillion: ty so its plain geforce than :)11:26
maxamilliongnomefreak: yeah, that's what he claims to be running :)11:27
gnomefreakyep its plain geforce :)11:27
gnomefreakif he had them and upgraded kernel he need to rerun the script for the kernel hes booted to11:27
gnomefreakbut since the nvidia-glx package == same drivers with patches :) its better to use ours as they update themselves11:28
