[12:56] <jrib> RoyB72: you can get it from freedesktop svn iirc
[12:57] <jrib> oops wrong again, it's cvs
[12:57] <jrib> RoyB72: .insight.res.rr.com]  has joined #ubuntu-classroom
[12:57] <jrib> RoyB72: sorry, I mean: http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xapps/xwinwrap/
[12:57] <RoyB72> thx...
[12:59] <RoyB72> hmm... don't get it
[12:59] <jrib> RoyB72: what don't you get?
[01:00] <RoyB72> 2 files... got some log when I clicked on xwinwrap
[01:00] <jrib> RoyB72: yeah, needs to be compiled
[01:01] <RoyB72> so I need to download the 2 and compile?
[01:01] <jrib> RoyB72: there may be compiled debs somewhere, let me search
[01:02] <jrib> RoyB72: what version of ubuntu?
[01:02] <RoyB72> damn u're good to me.. been searching for it for 3 hours, but I suck in that :(
[01:02] <RoyB72> kubuntu edgy.. 11
[01:03] <jrib> RoyB72: http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/dists/edgy/beryl-svn/  I don't know anything about that repo, so I suggest just using it for xwinwrap
[01:05] <jrib> RoyB72: you can download the deb and double click so that you don't need to add the repo to sources.list
[01:05] <RoyB72> :) thx.. A LOT!!
[01:05] <jrib> np
[01:06] <nalioth> RoyB72: be careful doing so
[01:06] <nalioth> RoyB72: some packages want "debian" depends for functionality
[01:06] <nalioth> if you add the "debian" packages into your Ubuntu, you hose your box.
[01:07] <RoyB72> dpkg: error processing ///home/royb/Desktop/xwinwrap_0.1+cvs20060209_i386.deb (--install):
[01:07] <RoyB72>  package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
[01:07] <RoyB72> :(
[01:08] <jrib> RoyB72: just compile then
[01:08] <jrib> it's the added fun of using amd64!
[01:09] <nalioth> don't forget powerpc
[01:14] <RoyB72> hmm... how do I compile the 2 files then?
[01:14] <jrib> RoyB72: you have them downloaded in the current directory?
[01:14] <RoyB72> yea
[01:14] <RoyB72> makefile and xwinwrap.c
[01:14] <jrib> RoyB72: sudo aptitude install build-essential libx11-dev && make
[01:15] <RoyB72> Makefile:5: *** missing separator.  Stop.
[01:15] <jrib> you broke it
[01:15] <jrib> RoyB72: what does your Makefile look like inside?
[01:17] <RoyB72> weird... to say the least...
[01:17] <jrib> RoyB72: what is on line 5?
[01:18] <RoyB72> losts of emty space in the middle
[01:18] <RoyB72> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
[01:18] <jrib> RoyB72: you pressed the "download" link right?  You didn't right-click > save as?
[01:18] <jrib> yeah, it's a webpage, I did that too, don't worry :)
[01:18] <RoyB72> "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
[01:18] <RoyB72> yea.. save as
[01:19] <jrib> RoyB72: yeah you need to left click on the file, it will show you a revision history
[01:19] <jrib> ie http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xapps/xwinwrap/Makefile?view=log
[01:20] <RoyB72> yea.. I saw that.. went back and saved the makefile
[01:20] <RoyB72> ohh you mean go in there and click on download the 1.1.1.1 revision?
[01:21] <jrib> RoyB72: yes
[01:23] <RoyB72> that one's short
[01:23] <jrib> good, do the same for xwinwrap.c and try make again
[01:25] <RoyB72> yay.. no errors this time
[01:25] <jrib> RoyB72: then just run xwinwrap with:  ./xwinwrap
[01:27] <RoyB72> ok.. looks fine to me.. where do I put it so the desktop setup can find it?
[01:29] <RoyB72> nalioth what was the command to enter nvidia setup?
[01:29] <jrib> RoyB72: /usr/local/bin is a fine place
[01:30] <jrib> you can also just leave it there and run it with a full path, like  /home/roy/xwinwrap
[01:30] <RoyB72> yeah.. well.. don't like to write much.. hehe
[01:32] <nalioth> !nvidia
[01:32] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:34] <RoyB72> I done that.. just don't remember how I started the config
[01:39] <nalioth> !xcfg
[01:39] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:39] <nalioth> i DO wish they'd leave the bloody factoids alone
[01:39] <nalioth> i'm tired of having to type this out every time
[01:39] <nalioth> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:39] <nalioth> i made the bloody thing a factoid for a reason
[01:40] <nalioth> but they keep changing it
[01:44] <RoyB72> nahh... not in there... when I installed nvidia drivers, I could enter the nvdidia with a simple command from konsole...
[01:44] <jrib> !xconfig
[01:44] <RoyB72> just don't remember what it was
[01:44] <ubotu> To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[01:45] <jrib> heh, someone is splitting them up
[01:45] <RoyB72> was something with nvidia
[01:45] <jrib> RoyB72: nvidia-settings  ?
[01:46] <RoyB72> damn I'm stupid.. tried all nvidia commands with CONFIG.. lol
[01:46] <RoyB72> thx
[01:46] <RoyB72> gonna write that one down too..
[01:47] <jrib> RoyB72: after I forget something I knew I write it in ~/notes and then I just grep it when I need something
[01:47] <RoyB72> why did I think it was something with config?
[01:48] <RoyB72> anyone knows why I get a flicker on black color when I change window?
[01:50] <RoyB72> hmm.. can't change resolution in nvidia settings?
[01:50] <jrib> I just use system > preferences > screen resolution
[01:51] <RoyB72> I can't go there after I installed nvidia
[01:52] <jrib> RoyB72: what happens when you try?
[01:53] <RoyB72> just says the module Monitor & Display could not be loaded
[01:53] <jrib> hmm
[01:53] <RoyB72> that happened on my previous installation too
[01:54] <jrib> RoyB72: ok, what happens when you use nvidia's tool?
[01:54] <RoyB72> but I remember I could change the resolutions on nvidia settings after I installed them
[01:55] <RoyB72> just shows me all the facts, can change color and shit, bot no resolution
[01:56] <jrib> RoyB72: YOu don't have "X Server Display Configuration" on the left?
[01:56] <RoyB72> no.. just xserver: color correction and xvideo settings
[01:57] <RoyB72> opengl settings.. opengl/glx info
[01:57] <RoyB72> antialiasing settings, thermal monitor, display device...
[01:59] <jrib> RoyB72: weird, try #ubuntu.  I have not seen that before
[02:00] <RoyB72> yeah... thx
[02:05] <RoyB72> under advanced background settings, setting up a background program like this should work, right?
[02:06] <RoyB72> under command: xwinwrap -ni -argb -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix -window-id WID -delay 10000
[02:06] <RoyB72> and executable: xwinwrap + xscreensaver
[02:09] <RoyB72> that's pasted commands, just don't know if they are in the right places
[02:42] <RoyB72> get: glmatrix: window 0x2400002's visual 0x134 does not support the GLX extension.
[02:42] <RoyB72> anyway to fix that?
[02:43] <RoyB72> tried to run the above command in konsole
[10:52] <RoyB72> uhmm... guys.. need help.. I uninstalled my nvidia packages, and now I can't get back in
[10:53] <RoyB72> wanted to see if I could get back sound.. :(
[10:53] <RoyB72> I end up in tty1
[11:12] <l90bpm> wow..  we got a pretty long wait till Saturday,,,
[11:13] <l90bpm> I need to be schooled on how to make a wvx file type play in ubuntu..  anyone figures that out...  I will be very greatful..
[11:50] <jrib> patience++
