[12:40] does exaile work? === j1mc [n=jcampbel@157.199.22.99] has left #xubuntu [] [12:41] max: It was buggy on my system, I'm running all of my songs off of an external HD, and it would recognize them, but it would slow the system WAY down. [12:43] Chil1: ahhh ... yeah, running songs off an external hard drive through exaile might slow a thing or two down ... not sure what all python has to go through for external storage access === maxamillion just installed exaile! and it dominates === BFTD [n=thomas@dialup-4.246.220.29.Dial1.SanJose1.Level3.net] has joined #xubuntu [12:50] Hmm, I can't figure out what codecs I need to install.

[12:56] right back again, does anyone know how to place filesystem and home directory icons on the XFCE desktop in 6.10? Young'n is a little linux illiterate [12:58] No? [12:58] No idea stimz, I'm new to xubuntu as well. [12:58] what do you think of it Chil1? [12:59] I like it, this is the second day I've really used it, or any ubuntu for that matter, and its pretty smooth. [12:59] nice, how long have you used Linux? [12:59] Equally as long. [12:59] Hey! WELCOME! [01:00] Good job. [01:00] heh [01:00] Haha, thanks. [01:00] stimz: Applications->Settings->Settings Manager->User Interface::Icon Theme Tab === Laibsc1 [n=Laibsch@p3160-ipbf1007marunouchi.tokyo.ocn.ne.jp] has joined #xubuntu [01:01] Seriously Chil1 a very hearty welcome, the world of linux is an amazing adventure! congrats on taking the leap! [01:01] (thanks maxa) [01:01] stimz open terminal > ln -s / ~/Desktop [01:01] Well, I haven't made a full leap yet, I'm dual booting O.o [01:01] ln -s ~ ~/Desktop [01:01] hehe [01:02] BFTD: thanks === crdlb [n=crdlb@pool-71-241-14-174.norf.east.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu [01:02] stimz no problem [01:02] Chil1: that's one step away .... you can hold onto your safety blanket for a while, but you will find yourself eventually thinking "wow, i used to use that?" [01:03] Haha, yeah, xubuntu seems so much more efficient, it looks as pretty as vista but its not near as resource intensive. [01:03] switch to Beryl for lots more transparency and 3D fun [01:04] Heh, I don't know if I have the system. [01:04] keb: beryl is merging back with Compiz ;) [01:04] oic [01:04] that sounds like a Good Thing [01:04] heheh, I came across XFCE about three years ago, (no I have not been using linux that long) when I got back to England I found Ubuntu, fell in love and naturally drifted back to XFCE (my laptop is naff) [01:04] keb: yeah ... i don't really care either way to be honest, i don't use either but i do think it would be good to get both communities working together towards the same goal intead of bickering over how things should be done [01:05] 2 gig ram, Gforce 5200 FX 256, 2.9GHZ P4, the video card and the processor are sort of holding me back. [01:05] Chil1: LOL!@#$%#^$! .... that will fly with beryl or Compiz [01:05] I'm currently running PII 800 128mb RAM 5mb Graphics and 11 GB HDD!!! W00T [01:05] Okay....I stand corrected. [01:05] i have 512MB ram, 1.7GHz processor and same graphics, Beryl worked ok for me [01:05] Chil1: beryl+aiglx will perform really well on a machine like that ;) [01:06] I might try it out sometime. [01:07] Chil1: i know someone who rungs beryl on that graphics card with a 350MHz AMD K6-2 and 192MB of ram ... aiglx and the latest nvidia drivers puts all the rendering off on the graphics card and you only lose like 30mb of ram from the system [01:07] BFTD is it possible to symbollic-link to filesystem? [01:07] So basically, windows = bloated and unefficient. [01:07] Chil1: now you're getting it ;) [01:07] heh [01:07] thats the understatement of the century. [01:07] lol [01:07] stimz yes [01:08] Chil1: errr yes, the answer to your question would be "yes" [01:08] :D [01:09] ln -s / ~/Desktop should put a sybollic link to / on desktop right? Well it says the file already exists, but nothing on Desktop [01:10] oh and another thing, I just got RealPlayer 10 on Xubuntu and it ROCKS. [01:10] i prefer mplayer === maxamillion does too [01:11] no ... actually vlc then mplayer [01:11] can it stream realplayer? [01:11] but i don't do much with media so i don't care [01:11] stimz: no ... i don't think anything but realplayer can stream realplayer ... [01:11] thought so... [01:12] lol [01:12] BFTD: ln -s / ~/Desktop came up with "file exists" no change on desktop [01:12] again ... i don't do much with media, just xmms for netradio while i'm at work (which is where i am right now) [01:12] whats the stream url, i bet mplayer can [01:13] Google for one! (man I'm lazy...) [01:14] :D [01:14] keb: i think there is a cool one on sun's site about looking glass from back in '02 or '04... lemme find it [01:14] (I can't even be bothered to open a browser for a fellow linux friend. man...) Hang on keb, I'll get one. [01:14] (oh well) [01:15] lol not urgent [01:15] keb: yeah ... here you go http://www.sun.com/software/looking_glass/demo.xml [01:15] Hmm, anyone play any good free games? [01:15] wesnoth [01:15] v [01:16] its a cool presentation ... just kinda blows my mind to see what Sun had already done for the 3d desktop (in java of all things) before anyone else [01:16] http://vodreal.stanford.edu/Jasper/island.ram [01:16] Chil1: The best open software game I have played is TASpring [01:16] Its a complete rework of total annihilation, its just awesome [01:17] Wesnoth is good too. But I prefer 3D RTS [01:17] Chil1: nexuiz, netpanzer, solarwolf, pydance ... http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Native_Games [01:17] Linux tome is an awesome resource [01:17] stimz that plays for me if i open it and drop the rtsp: url into mplayer [01:17] http://spring.clan-sy.com/ [01:18] did it work for the sun site urls? [01:18] Chil1: that site i posted to you is geared towards ubuntu users ... its a good source [01:18] Chil1: look at http://www.happypenguin.org/ [01:18] Is there a good website downloader available for Xubuntu? As in, something that can grab the entire content of a domain [01:19] Grey_Loki: i think there is a plugin for firefox that does that [01:19] maxamillion, i'll take a look - thanks :) [01:20] Grey_Loki: np [01:20] stimz it worked after i wget the original url and get the rtsp: url again ;) [01:21] keb: Awesome, is MPlayer a dedicated video application, or does it play all media and audio? if so what are its other features like? (skins, visualizations, library search, internet radio ect) [01:21] ? [01:21] it plays audio as well [01:21] there are some skins [01:21] it doesnt do anything but play media [01:21] http://mplayerhq.hu/ [01:22] cheers :D [01:22] stimz: also check out vlc .... http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ [01:22] Will do Maxamilion [01:22] yeah vlc is cool, it is more cross platform [01:22] stimz: there are versions for almost any OS and its in the repositories (universe branch if my memory serves me correctly) === Laibsch [n=Laibsch@p3160-ipbf1007marunouchi.tokyo.ocn.ne.jp] has joined #xubuntu [01:23] oh yeah, I saw Songbird on a friends computer, it is open source right [01:23] you can use it to convince people to switch away from windows [01:23] keb: yeah, i actually tried it first in v.0.1.4 or something back when i still had win98se [01:24] keb: yeah, hand them open office, firefox, pidgin, and vlc ... that's pretty much what 70% of the desktop using world needs right there [01:24] maxamillion: I've never heard of pidgin. whats that? [01:24] me neither [01:25] it's gaim [01:25] oh hehe i have that [01:25] gaim got sued by AOL, they changed their name to pidgin like 4 days ago [01:25] oh right [01:25] :) [01:25] lol [01:25] sued for what? [01:27] stimz: well, gaim started as "GTK+ Aol Instant Messenger" and AOL didn't like that so they changed it to "gaim" and said it didn't stand for anything but AOL still didn't like that and after a few years of debate, gaim's legal advisors thought it would be a good idea to alter the name just for the sake of peice [01:27] Oh, thats another thing, does either Mplayer or vlc handle burning and ripping cds, because thats one thing I have really found hard with linux. [01:27] AOL living up to its name ;) [01:27] there are other apps for cds and dvds [01:27] stimz: burning can be done easily with graveman or gnomebaker and ripping .... i think exaile will rip [01:27] right, will look those up [01:28] exaile is k3b ? [01:28] however I will save that for another day, it has turned Tuesday over here, and I need to get some beauty sleep! haha [01:28] keb: no [01:28] gnite [01:28] Good night all! [01:29] keb: http://www.exaile.org/trac [01:29] stimz: night night === stimz [n=totustuu@89.243.26.50] has left #xubuntu [] [01:29] maxamillion, the only one I can find seems to be Windows-only :S [01:29] keb: exaile is basically a gtk version of amarok === Grey_Loki continues with ze research! [01:29] ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3184 ) [01:29] Grey_Loki: really? ... you can write windows only plugins for firefox? ... didn't know that [01:30] well, I don't really use firefox - i prefer Opera. I look in the 'versions' link on that page, and it says 'plugin for windows' or words to that effect. [01:30] keb: but i think they are doing a really good job of competing especially since the project is so new ... its _really_ nice (its in the feisty repositories) [01:30] Grey_Loki: interesting ... [01:30] looks good [01:32] yeah ... i actually mainly use xmms because all i do is listen to net radio and it uses minimal system resources, in the event i did have a music library ... exaile would be where its at === x2180[laptop] [n=mike@adsl-76-195-116-48.dsl.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net] has joined #xubuntu === s|k [n=bjorn@ip70-171-201-121.tc.ph.cox.net] has joined #xubuntu [01:36] How would I go about installing that spring game? [01:36] Chil1, TA-Spring? [01:36] Yes. [01:36] LOL: http://fanboys-online.com/comic.php?cid=138 [01:37] Chil1, I believe there are installation instructions on their website, if they have a linux binary [01:42] One of the lines I have to add is [01:42] deb http://www.osrts.info/~tvo/deb edgy spring # Ubuntu Edgy Eft... [01:42] Would I change Edgy Eft to something else since I'm running Feisty? [01:42] Its the line to add it to the repository [01:44] I can't say, i'm afraid. [01:44] I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work - I should think that Feisty is backwards-compatible with Edgy stuff. [01:45] Chil1: if they don't have a feisty branch on their server yet, it would just error out when you do a "sudo aptitude update" so i say just try it [01:45] Grey_Loki: yeah, true .... it "should" be [01:46] Okay. [01:53] Okay, there's a step that says Create directories for data files: mkdir -p ~/.spring/{maps,mods,base} [01:54] So, that just means make a new folder right? lol [01:54] i have to run ... getting off work [01:54] Chil1: yeah, that's how i would read it [01:54] laters === sc0tt_ [n=sc0tt@cpc1-stok5-0-0-cust513.bagu.cable.ntl.com] has joined #xubuntu [01:58] !paste [01:58] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[02:03] depends on the streamversion of the "WMP content" [02:03] if it's current, you'll likely need w32codecs [02:04] crimsun: I swear I have those installed [02:04] Yeah, I have those installed. [02:05] which player are you embedding? [02:06] mplayer plays some but in general w32codecs will play it [02:07] I'm trying to watch some TV on freetube.us.tc, but it tells me I need a plugin.

When booting, i get no splash, X loads and a graphical login appears, after login the wallpaper changes and some icons appear. Thats it. No XFCE to be seen anywhere... Did i miss something? [02:57] when you right click on the blank area, do you get a menu? [02:57] a small one iirc desktop related [02:58] You sure you're in xfce? [02:58] you should see one that has Settings, Accessories,..., About Xfce, Quit [02:58] You chose it manually from the sessions menu before you logged in? === Krunsj [n=a@ti231210a080-7397.bb.online.no] has joined #xubuntu [02:58] maybe not? i simply installed xubuntu-desktop meta...

[02:58] Try logging out and logging in making sure you're in xfce session [02:59] ubuntu-server default install, then xubuntu-desktop package [02:59] i did [02:59] Okay [02:59] well i cant log out [02:59] the option doesnt appear [02:59] so ctrl-alt-backspace.. [02:59] ctrl-alt-backspace :S [02:59] WaxyFresh did you "sudo apt-get update" before the dist-upgrade? [03:00] yup [03:00] so nobody tried this route? [03:00] Artemis3: tried alt+f2 then type "xfce4-panel" into the dialogue box? [03:01] nm a restart fixed the upgrade issue [03:01] cool [03:01] no i havent tried but that seems a good idea [03:01] how do i see how much free space i have? [03:01] df [03:01] df is a good command :) [03:01] if that works, then you can right-click the panel to customise it. [03:02] how do you normally invoke xfce? whats the script or binary that loads it? [03:02] Artemis3, that's a good question [03:02] I used to know the answer [03:03] oh well ill try tomorrow, the machine is not here at home anyway ^^ [03:03] just wondered if anyone tried the same [03:03] Artemis3: startxfce, but you should have had gdm installed [03:04] i get the graphical login with the xubuntu logo, i suppose thats gdm... [03:04] xfce supports psudo-transparancy right? [03:04] WaxyFresh, yeah [03:05] there is a transparency command called transset [03:05] so how much free space do i have?Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% 3426896 2743680 509136 85% / [03:05] That would be in bytes, I think [03:05] So, like 2.5 gigs?

[10:09] OGDA without getting feisty? [10:10] yeah [10:10] in 6.06.1 if possible [10:11] Probably, but is there a specific reason? [10:11] so I can upgrade it easily [10:11] :p [10:11] Oh...I thought the upgrade manager was in edgy as well... [10:12] nope [10:12] That's weird... [10:12] anyways this is dapper not edgy [10:12] Is it possible to upgrade from dapper to feisty? [10:13] I'm pretty sure it is [10:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades [10:14] It says that you can only go from edgy to feisty :/ [10:15] malnilion: then go dapper --> edgy --> feist [10:15] y [10:15] Exactly [10:15] but then I would install feisty directly [10:15] BFTD, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades [10:15] BFTD, you should have the update manager there in dapper [10:17] Honestly, I find it kind of a pain to have to upgrade to an intermediate version of Ubuntu; a lot of packages would need to be redownloaded. [10:18] malnilion: then don't upgrade and isntall feisty directly [10:18] hyper_ch, I've got Feisty, I'm trying to help BFTD here :P [10:18] ah ok :) [10:19] If I were you, BFTD, and I could reinstall linux, I would [10:19] does Feisty make it easier to install drivers for USB wireless adapters that have no drivers ? [10:19] if there are no drivers what do you want to install then? [10:19] but generally Feisty has a better hardware support so you may try if feisty supports it [10:20] Ive found a few possible drivers [10:20] I've yet to have something not work [10:20] USB works pretty damn well these days [10:21] Although, I need to try my Saitek USB controller again. [10:21] Haven't tried it since the upgrade to Feisty, but it registered in Edgy as a joystick, so it should work. [10:21] this song sucks [10:21] Which song? [10:22] Catoptromancy: you can try feisty... either it works or not... you have nothing to loose in that case [10:22] google has concluded that installing 2wire amoung other USB wireless adapters to be a pain [10:22] Oh, wireless via USB could be interesting [10:23] next weekend I'll have to have a look at truecrypt in feisty :) === T` [i=total@pdpc/supporter/student/T] has joined #xubuntu === _aussieman [n=bobo@55.Red-83-32-190.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #xubuntu === archangelpetro [n=petroleu@82.152.208.226] has joined #xubuntu === camer0n [n=crew@ppp7-70.lns10.adl2.internode.on.net] has joined #xubuntu [10:37] hello [10:38] hrm [10:38] just have a question relating to vi [10:38] in gnome i just hit "i" or "insert" to type text. how do i do it in xfce?
