| ceil420 | my desktop image is gone, replaced by plain blue | 02:10 |
| ceil420 | and when i loaded xchat, i got an alert: "Unable to set transparent background! You may be using a non-compliant window manager that is not currently supported" | 02:10 |
| ceil420 | and right clicking on the desktop still crashes xfdesktop -_- | 02:11 |
| ceil420 | could this be a Feisty issue or did i just somehow break something? :x | 02:11 |
| kalikiana_ | ceil420, Check the workspace/background image setting perhaps? | 02:12 |
| vidd_laptop | ceil420, i think it is residual fallout from an incomplete removal of beryl | 02:13 |
| vidd_laptop | you may need to reconfigure xfdesktop4 so it knows to load XFCE and not beryl | 02:13 |
| ceil420 | kalikiana_, i "Allow Xfce to manage the desktop", and it brought my image back. i right clicked and nothing happened, so i opened the "Desktop Preferences" again and the box is no longer checked | 02:13 |
| ceil420 | i did "sudo apt-get autoremove beryl" :o | 02:14 |

| BFTD | yo all | 02:15 |
| kalikiana_ | So xfdesktop is not actually providing the desktop? Since the option is unchecked.. | 02:15 |
| kalikiana_ | hi BFTD :) | 02:15 |
| BFTD | !apitute | 02:15 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apitute - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 02:15 |
| kalikiana_ | !aptitude | 02:16 |
| ubotu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 02:16 |
| vidd_laptop | ceil420, that only removed the program...it did not reset other apps that installing beryl changed | 02:16 |
| ceil420 | kalikiana_, when i checked the option, the image came up, then i closed Desktop Preferences. i right clicked on my desktop and reloaded Preferences, and it was unchecked again | 02:16 |
| ceil420 | it says "Segmentation fault" when i do it in terminal | 02:16 |
| === vidd_laptop BELIEVES this is your issue | ||

| ceil420 | vidd_laptop, so how do i reset the other apps or whatever? | 02:17 |

| vidd_laptop | but if you reinstall beryl, you may find that your issue fixes itself.... | 02:17 |
| vidd_laptop | then we will have confirmation that it IS removing beryl that is causing your issue | 02:18 |
| ceil420 | is there no way to just tell xfdesktop4 to fix itself? | 02:18 |
| ceil420 | oi, i don't want beryl, but i do want a working desktop | 02:18 |
| vidd_laptop | while i am sure there is....i would have no clue where to even begin with that task | 02:18 |
| === ceil420 goes to that bookmarked page for installing beryl on an nvidia | ||
| kalikiana_ | Maybe the session is broken? | 02:19 |
| ceil420 | i've already rebooted | 02:19 |
| vidd_laptop | kalikiana_, he rebooted...issue remained | 02:19 |
| ceil420 | well, i didn't check the session now that i think about it; it may have "loaded last session" or whatever | 02:19 |
| vidd_laptop | ceil420, you should only need to sudo apt-get install beryl | 02:19 |
| vidd_laptop | all the other stuff is already in place [i believe] | 02:20 |
| ceil420 | vidd_laptop, there were problems when i did that :x there's special instructions on their website for installing to ubuntu with an nvidia card | 02:20 |
| ceil420 | i'll reboot again and start a new session, not load the last one | 02:20 |
| vidd_laptop | did you try restalling since this issue began? | 02:20 |
| ceil420 | i remember that fixed a problem once before | 02:21 |
| kalikiana_ | Starting with a new session may be well worth a try imho. | 02:21 |
| ceil420 | this issue's not big enough for me to want to bother reinstalling :x to my knowledge it just means i can't right/middle click on the desktop | 02:21 |
| ceil420 | i can just ctrl-alt-backspace for that, right? | 02:21 |

| ceil420 | xchat's the only thing i have open, and i think the logs are saved :p | 02:22 |

| ceil420 | only on right click tho | 02:29 |
| ceil420 | middle click works | 02:29 |
| ceil420 | (and right click functions normally in xchat, so it ain't something involving the mouse itself) | 02:30 |
| vidd_laptop | did you reinstall beryl to see if the issue resolves? | 02:32 |
| kalikiana_ | ceil420, So you cannot open the menu. Can you get to the xfce menu via a button i nthe panel? | 02:33 |
| kalikiana_ | Maybe it's a menu issue. | 02:33 |
| kalikiana_ | vidd: I'm not sure if reinstalling Beryl should be related to fixing xfdesktop. | 02:33 |
| ceil420 | i don't have enough of a need to right click on my desktop to bother with beryl anymore | 02:33 |
| === kalikiana_ considers Beryl pretty unstable anyway :P | ||
| ceil420 | i can go in Desktop Preferences and change the background image from there after letting "Xfce manage the desktop" | 02:34 |

| === vidd_laptop thinks he needs to re-install beryl, tell it to use XFCE to manage his desktop...THEN uninstall beryl | ||

| ceil420 | lmao | 02:35 |
| ceil420 | i think i need to not be retarded and look at other tabs in Desktop Preferences | 02:35 |
| ceil420 | "Show Desktop menu on right click" wasn't checked | 02:35 |
| ceil420 | but still, i don't think that should cause a segmentation fault, whatever that is :x | 02:35 |

| kalikiana_ | cellofellow, It's usually constructed from /usr/share/applications and ~/.local/applications | 04:09 |
| cellofellow | I know, but it caches a local "copy" somewhere. | 04:09 |
| kalikiana_ | That should not normally matter, if by "copy" you mean the cache. | 04:10 |
| kalikiana_ | Since it's updated on file activities. | 04:10 |
| cellofellow | well, whatever it is it gets updated when I run update-menus | 04:10 |
| kalikiana_ | cellofellow, It might be ~/.cache/libfrapmenu | 04:11 |
| cellofellow | there we go, my ~/.local/share/applications was full of crap from a previous installation. | 04:12 |

| === kalikiana_ is mamazed about that. | ||
| cellofellow | awesome!!!!! | 04:14 |
| keb | whatis catfish | 04:14 |

| cellofellow | we all made it up in a big brainstorm session. I used to be search4files. :) | 04:15 |
| cellofellow | it* | 04:15 |
| kalikiana_ | What does an "edit bookmarks" icon normally look like? | 04:16 |
| keb | catfish is a little more colourful ;) | 04:16 |
| godless | kalikiana_: You might remember I was having a problem with Rhythmbox starting very slowly. I didn't explain how I fixed it then; maybe 12 hours later is just as good. | 04:16 |
| kalikiana_ | godless, Yeah, you were away I think. Now what was the problem? | 04:17 |
| === sigmamu188 [n=jwheeler@cpe-70-116-80-78.houston.res.rr.com] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| cellofellow | easiest fix: scratch rythmbox and use exaile. | 04:17 |
| godless | I had a samba share mounted through pyneighbourhood ... it had gone flaky. | 04:17 |
| cellofellow | you actually got pyneighborhood to mount? | 04:18 |
| godless | cellofellow: I tried that, exaile's daap support is alpha stage at this point and not nearly as good as rhythmbox. | 04:18 |
| godless | When it is polished up I will switch | 04:18 |
| cellofellow | oh, yeah, you use daap. | 04:18 |
| kalikiana_ | godless, Ah, samba ~ windows, naturally :P | 04:18 |
| godless | Well, not really, but that was the impetus for this experiment :) | 04:18 |
| cellofellow | exaile is doing pretty good for an 0.2.9 release. | 04:18 |
| godless | kalikiana_: precisely. | 04:18 |
| sigmamu188 | anyone do any motorola seem editing with xubuntu? | 04:18 |
| kalikiana_ | sigmamu188, Is there a linux porgram for that? I did that under windows only | 04:19 |
| sigmamu188 | kalikiana_: thats what im trying to find out | 04:19 |
| godless | Rhythmbox was scanning for network shares, I guess, as I suppose it does. I didn't look into the specifics of why it was doing what it was doing to be honest. (I had been up all night.) I just tried to unmount the share. This didn't work right away but that's another story. Anyway after nuking the shares rhythmbox loads up quite quickly. | 04:19 |
| kalikiana_ | sigmamu188, I wouldn't even have expected anyone to ask that here. Since it's not a topic for usual users. :P | 04:20 |
| sigmamu188 | kalikiana_: i want to flash my razr v3m to v3c and so some seem edits | 04:20 |
| godless | cellofellow: Exaile is great. The daap plugin specifically is not ready for primetime, though. | 04:20 |
| cellofellow | tracker always messed with my LinNeighborhood shares. I now use fusesmb. | 04:20 |
| cellofellow | :) | 04:20 |
| kalikiana_ | sigmamu188, I was pretty inactive about moto hacking recently. But I never found a program which would run on linux. | 04:21 |
| godless | cellofellow: I will look into fuse. It seemed a little more intensive an install and at the time I just wanted to move some files, but after the mess I had to clean up last night I am not particularly fond of PyNeighbourhood at the moment :) | 04:21 |
| godless | I mean ultimately it was almost certainly windows' fault, but.. | 04:22 |
| cellofellow | it's not hard to set up at all. | 04:22 |
| cellofellow | I find connecting to samba quite easy. Setting up shares on the other hand.... | 04:22 |
| === kalikiana_ likes fusesmb for comfort and pyNeighborhood for emergencies. | ||

| keb | oops, is there a catfish support channel | 04:35 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, Ask me, I'm the catfish support ;) | 04:40 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, What were you doing to get this error? | 04:40 |
| keb | catfish --fulltext keyword | 04:40 |
| keb | it popped up the dialogue window and started searching | 04:41 |
| jlist | exit | 04:41 |
| kalikiana_ | When I type exactly this I get one result. Would the file not exist (e.g. 'keyword1') it'd simply say 'Nothing found.' | 04:42 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, What version are you using? | 04:42 |
| keb | catfish-0.3a | 04:44 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, That's what I was using to verify. So... did you run it from a Terminal? Maybe it outputs a more exact error? | 04:46 |

| keb | thats it | 04:46 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, Ah, so it did not find anything and *that* resulted in the error. I admit it's a but ugly/ confusing. | 04:46 |
| keb | ah | 04:46 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, It's a find issue I could not fully fix. | 04:47 |
| keb | thanks | 04:47 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, I hope it's otherwise working? For example good to see someone using --arguments. In fact not everybody likes that apsect. | 04:48 |
| kalikiana_ | *aspect | 04:48 |
| keb | "catfish notes" does the same :/ | 04:49 |
| keb | maybe i am missing a backend? | 04:50 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, I do not know your system, did you try to select a backend manually? | 04:50 |
| keb | no | 04:50 |
| keb | it seems to default to "find" | 04:51 |
| kalikiana_ | Yes. You need to select others manually. Either by --method or in the GUI. | 04:51 |
| kalikiana_ | E.g. 'catfish --locate --thumbnails %s' is what I'm using as a shortcut. | 04:52 |
| keb | hm ok | 04:56 |
| kalikiana_ | *'catfish --method=locate --thumbnails %s' | 04:56 |
| keb | with locate it is ok but does not find files i know are there | 04:57 |

| icicled | anyone have problems with the network-admin program crashing constantly? | 05:12 |
| icicled | i can't seem to start it | 05:12 |
| icicled | it goes straight to a bug report dialog | 05:12 |
| kalikiana_ | icicled, I'm on Edgy. It's working perfectly here. Any actual error message, possibly in a Terminal? | 05:13 |
| icicled | nope, nothing | 05:13 |
| icicled | just a warning about not finding an icon | 05:13 |
| icicled | last time i checked gtk warnings didn't mean anything | 05:14 |
| icicled | =\ | 05:14 |
| kalikiana_ | icicled, Does it say what icon is missing? Maybe you can just add it? | 05:15 |
| kalikiana_ | There *are* e.g. pyGtk programs that break if icons are missing. | 05:15 |
| icicled | poo | 05:16 |
| kalikiana_ | (I'm not sure spontaneously what that network-admin is done in) | 05:16 |
| icicled | uh...it works now | 05:16 |
| icicled | >_< | 05:16 |
| icicled | it wasn't working all afternoon | 05:16 |
| icicled | wtf! | 05:16 |
| kalikiana_ | So what did you do? Look it straight in the face? | 05:16 |
| icicled | this is becoming like a windows app! | 05:16 |
| icicled | i don't know | 05:17 |
| icicled | maybe it has to do with my wireless settings | 05:17 |
| icicled | i'm at home now, so the wireless is setup automatically on boot | 05:17 |
| icicled | but at school in the afternoon i have to manually setup the wireless through console with wpa_supplicant | 05:18 |
| kalikiana_ | As soon as wireless or samba play a role, those "windows" things can happen :/ | 05:18 |
| kalikiana_ | Connecting to a windows lan is always a horror. Like "Does it work today". | 05:18 |
| icicled | it shouldn't freak out and crash though | 05:19 |
| rici | "where does it want to go today?" | 05:19 |
| kalikiana_ | *lol @ rici | 05:19 |
| icicled | i seems the network-admin tool crashes if it isn't connected via wireless | 05:19 |

| icicled | what's catfish? | 05:26 |
| kalikiana_ | icicled, it's a desktop file search frontend, e.g. for find, locate or tracker | 05:26 |
| icicled | ah ok | 05:26 |
| keb | mine only lists find, locate, slocate as backends | 05:27 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, It will only display what it finds on your system. | 05:27 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, You can of couse still install strigi, pinot, tracker or doodle. | 05:28 |
| keb | are those better at some things? | 05:28 |
| keb | i will check into it | 05:28 |
| keb | would love if it works with gnuift | 05:29 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, What is gnuift may I ask? | 05:31 |
| keb | a content based image finding tool | 05:31 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, I wolud have to see if it fits as a file searching backends. Then adding it should be easy. | 05:32 |
| === mdib [n=grcrosby@d216-232-173-250.bchsia.telus.net] has left #xubuntu [] | ||
| keb | well it depends, it doesnt look like catfish actually searches inside files for stuff | 05:32 |
| keb | only looks at filenames | 05:33 |
| keb | so maybe there isnt a hook for content-based searching | 05:33 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, If the backend supports it, catfish can search "fulltext", which means looking into files | 05:33 |
| kalikiana_ | keb, but that depends a bit on the acutal backend | 05:34 |
| kalikiana_ | *actual | 05:34 |
| keb | hmm so it might be possible, if sample images were tagged with descriptions and the backend had the right hooks | 05:35 |
| === boris55 [n=richards@216.charlotte-05rh15-16rt.nc.dial-access.att.net] has left #xubuntu ["Konversation] | ||

| biouser | how's it going? | 06:57 |
| kalikiana_ | biouser, Well, well so far. Coding happily, hating firefox fervently, you now how it is... :P | 06:59 |
| biouser | why hating firefox? | 06:59 |
| kalikiana_ | Let me think... It's disintegrated. It's slow. | 07:01 |
| biouser | What is better? | 07:01 |
| kalikiana_ | Hah, maybe Camino? Sadly it is Mac only. [..] | 07:02 |
| kalikiana_ | Or hopefully my own project based on webkit? | 07:03 |
| biouser | hmmm... I used something kde before that was pretty good... quicker.. let me think | 07:03 |
| kalikiana_ | Currently, there is no browser I would call "really" better. | 07:03 |
| biouser | is that what you are working on? | 07:03 |
| kalikiana_ | Yes, I'm building a browser which will render with webkit, known from Safari for example. | 07:04 |
| kalikiana_ | And so far webkit is extremely much faster for me. | 07:05 |
| kalikiana_ | And it consumes far less memory. | 07:05 |
| biouser | interesting | 07:05 |
| biouser | I like slim things | 07:05 |
| biouser | konqueror is pretty cool, that's what it was | 07:06 |
| kalikiana_ | Firefox hit a critical point for me, speaking of being arkward, slow and whatever. | 07:06 |
| kalikiana_ | Actually konqueror uses khtml which is similar to webkit == sharing most code with it. | 07:07 |
| biouser | I don't know what webkit is... | 07:07 |
| kalikiana_ | If konqueror were less of a everything-in-one and not qt I might like it. :P | 07:08 |
| kalikiana_ | Webkit is Safari's engine. It was originally based on khtml == konqueror's engine. | 07:08 |
| biouser | what language do you write in mostly? | 07:09 |
| kalikiana_ | Imagine Webkit as pretty standards compliant, like gecko, but much light in general. | 07:09 |
| kalikiana_ | I chose C for maximum speed. Although I might need to hack a bit of C++ for the api of webkit. | 07:11 |
| biouser | are you working with a team? | 07:12 |
| kalikiana_ | So far it's only me. But I talked to two guys so far who are willing to contribute. | 07:12 |
| kalikiana_ | I hope that I can focus on the interface and avoid to work on the actual renderer. | 07:13 |
| biouser | I'm not much of a coder yet | 07:13 |
| biouser | I know some python, matlab, very little C.. | 07:14 |
| kalikiana_ | You could write docs or translate if you're not too comfy with C. | 07:16 |
| kalikiana_ | I like python very much, but I don't think it's suitable for this project. | 07:16 |
| biouser | are you going to be able to get plugins into browser? ie flash, java | 07:17 |
| biouser | do you have a testing release? | 07:19 |
| kalikiana_ | I would not really care about it until everything else works. But if someone makes it work it will of course be supported. | 07:19 |

| kalikiana_ | TheSheep, You mean the "Bundestrojaner"? It's being rigidly developed. And they seem to mean it seriously. | 07:38 |
| TheSheep | amazing | 07:38 |
| kalikiana_ | TheSheep, Since much will come from the isp's site, it's not "undoable". | 07:38 |
| TheSheep | kalikiana_: do you know how much data it is? | 07:39 |
| kalikiana_ | By the way that's not only a German problem ;) | 07:39 |
| kalikiana_ | s/;)/:'/ | 07:39 |
| TheSheep | kalikiana_: sure, you can filter in real time and look for specific things, but you can't really store more than several days of logs | 07:39 |
| kalikiana_ | TheSheep, ip addresses, time of connect/ disconnect, mail server activity, mail subjects... | 07:40 |
| TheSheep | kalikiana_: that's logged anyways (except the mail subjects maybe, just message ids) | 07:41 |
| kalikiana_ | TheSheep, They say 80 days. And they don't care since providers will have to do it. | 07:41 |
| Pumpernickel | Okay, I wasn't remembering it correctly... http://gtk-webcore.sourceforge.net/ | 07:41 |
| kalikiana_ | TheSheep, But those information is normally not saved long-term, not accessible to 3rd parties and not including actual text/ contents. | 07:41 |
| TheSheep | kalikiana_: well, the basic logs that you mention are definitely doable,and I wouldn't trust any isp that doesn't keep them at least for month | 07:41 |
| kalikiana_ | Pumpernickel, That is not exactly gtkhtml. It's a dying port of webkit. Nevertheless I'm using it currently. As soon as someone writes a C api and fixes some bugs for gdk webkit I'm going to use that. | 07:43 |
| Pumpernickel | kalikiana_: I realise. Bad memory, skimmed article, and so forth. | 07:43 |
| biouser | well, all, I'm going to watch a conspiracy video about the federal reserve and go to sleep, see y'all around | 07:44 |
| TheSheep | any non-gecko html widget for gtk is welcome | 07:44 |
| kalikiana_ | TheSheep, So you would insit in saving that much about you? What for? Imho it's a big privacy whole, nothing else. | 07:44 |
| TheSheep | kalikiana_: it's not about me, it's about the inner workings of the network | 07:44 |

| TheSheep | kalikiana_: of course it shouldn't be public | 07:45 |
| TheSheep | Pumpernickel: thanks for the link | 07:45 |
| Pumpernickel | TheSheep: np o.O | 07:46 |
| kalikiana_ | TheSheep, 1) it must not be public and 2) it's not needed to keep that for such a long time and 3) saving mail subjects is *some-oppressed-curse* | 07:46 |
| TheSheep | kalikiana_: mail subjects are irrelevant, it's the message ids that have to be saved | 07:47 |
| TheSheep | kalikiana_: then you can track spam, for example, and fine the spammers | 07:47 |
| kalikiana_ | TheSheep, If you have any spare time, feel free to work on the gdk port of webkit ;) | 07:47 |
| kalikiana_ | TheSheep, mail subjects are relevant. I expect mail to be encrypted. Not published. | 07:48 |
| maxamillion | so ... GTK+ WebCore is dead or just still in early development? | 07:48 |
| kalikiana_ | maxamillion, It's dying and being revived. As soon as someone works on gdk webkit it'll be banished completely. | 07:49 |

| kalikiana_ | maxamillion, For now gtk-webcore is my testing subject, though. | 07:49 |
| kalikiana_ | hi grazie :) | 07:49 |
| grazie | morning | 07:50 |
| maxamillion | kalikiana_: ok, so gtk webkit is going to replace gtk webcore? | 07:50 |
| kalikiana_ | maxamillion, Yes. As much code as possible is supposed to be shared. So gdk webkit is the way to go. In fact gtk-webcore is a too seperated and unmaintained fork. | 07:51 |
| maxamillion | ah, ok | 07:52 |
| TheSheep | kalikiana_: how good is webcore now, what do you think? | 07:52 |
| TheSheep | kalikiana_: in terms of completeness and stability | 07:53 |
| maxamillion | kalikiana_: wait ... so webkit is done by apple? | 07:53 |
| kalikiana_ | TheSheep, gtk-webcore is "working" but incomplete. You could not create a full browser around it but possibly a feed reader. | 07:53 |
| kalikiana_ | maxamillion, webkit is mainly apple's child nowasays. But they don't work on the gdk port. | 07:54 |
| maxamillion | ah, ok | 07:54 |

| LoneShadow | hi, how do I access the xubuntu-artwork after installing the package ? | 07:55 |
| kalikiana_ | maxamillion, So eventually webkit will use a common renderer code (==mostly apple) and have some gtk features around it (not apple). | 07:55 |
| maxamillion | kalikiana_: ahhh ok | 07:56 |
| maxamillion | LoneShadow: should be in /usr/share/xubuntu-artwork/ if i remember correctly | 07:56 |
| TheSheep | LoneShadow: you should have new options in the various settings, like desktop backgrounds, icons, window decorations, etc. | 07:56 |
| maxamillion | LoneShadow: that too :) | 07:56 |
| malnilion | Jeez, have you guys heard of Jamendo? | 07:57 |

| kalikiana_ | ceil420, Actually xfce can do compositing if it's available | 10:53 |
| kalikiana_ | ceil420, But it is not really fast at this time | 10:53 |
| ceil420 | kalikiana_, if you're on about the opacity, that's what i just tried, but it lagged me hardcore :x | 10:53 |
| Arkh | what are your specs, ceil420 ? | 10:54 |

| TheSheep | ceil420: enable compositing in your xorg | 10:54 |
| kalikiana_ | ceil420, Yeah, I mean the last page of the "window manager tweaks". It's somewhat lame. | 10:54 |
| TheSheep | ceil420: and use the nvidia drivers | 10:54 |
| TheSheep | kalikiana_: it's lightning fast on nvidia cards | 10:55 |
| kalikiana_ | Someone suggested with a more recent Xorg performance will improve. | 10:55 |
| ceil420 | TheSheep, i don't really want translucency, i was just playin' with it | 10:55 |
| ceil420 | as long as Xfce can handle my regular themes, i'm alright :p | 10:55 |
| kalikiana_ | TheSheep, That I cannot verify for I am using the free radeon driver. :) | 10:56 |
| Arkh | ceil420, it is impossible that your hardware lags | 10:56 |
| TheSheep | ceil420: compositing will also push some work on your gpu, so you should expect an overal improvement | 10:56 |
| ceil420 | then there's a messed up setting somewhere or something, cos i set "moving window" or whatever to about 80% opacity and moved a window and it was very slow | 10:56 |
| kalikiana_ | Does anybody by chance know if coming Xorg versions will improve compositing? | 10:56 |
| TheSheep | ceil420: you need the proprietary drivers for the acceleration to work | 10:57 |
| ceil420 | how do i get those? | 10:57 |
| TheSheep | !nvidia | 10:57 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 10:57 |

| ceil420 | no | 11:10 |
| ceil420 | only thing i can think of is it mysteriously came with Beryl or something when i tried that out | 11:10 |
| ceil420 | but i don't remember specifically upgrading nvidia drivers | 11:10 |
| TheSheep | ceil420: you tried beryl and it worked? | 11:10 |

| ceil420 | i just changed that from "nvidia" to "nv" yesterday :p | 11:13 |
| TheSheep | why? | 11:13 |
| ceil420 | i forget why, but i think it was related to the Beryl problem i was having | 11:13 |
| ceil420 | what's the difference between 'nv' and 'nvidia'? | 11:14 |
| TheSheep | well, you need "nvidia" to run beryl too | 11:14 |
| TheSheep | nv is the open source driver written by the linux devs | 11:14 |
| TheSheep | nvidia is a proprietary, closed-source, binary driver offered by nvidia itself | 11:14 |
| === ceil420 isn't all that interested in Beryl anymore :o | ||
| TheSheep | it's less stable, takes more memory, but supports hardware acceleration | 11:15 |
| ceil420 | and that means Opacity won't slow me down? | 11:15 |
| ceil420 | (as much) | 11:15 |
| ceil420 | or "Compositing", whatever it's called | 11:15 |
| TheSheep | the whole desktop will be faster than now (even with opacity enabled) | 11:16 |
| ceil420 | neat | 11:16 |
| TheSheep | and all the 3d games like quake wll be working | 11:16 |
| ceil420 | i've been thinking of installing quake lately :p if Wine can take it :x | 11:20 |

| WaterSevenUb | Hi. I decided to give a try to Xubuntu but... display looks terrible :-/ I've used restricted drivers to install ATI drivers for Radeon 9600... but I can't set the resolution higher than 800x600, when it should be 1400x1050. Then, I had to blacklist bcm43xx since it was giving error loading in the boot. I've also had to change /etc/fstab not to check the hard drives since it was taking forever the startup. Then I uninstalled ATI Radeon drivers | 06:07 |
| WaterSevenUb | Now, my display is looking terrible... very small fonts. | 06:08 |
| WaterSevenUb | And kind of blurry. | 06:08 |
| Merchelo | !ati | 06:08 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 06:08 |
| WaterSevenUb | Merchelo, so what's the point of the new tool in the menu? :) | 06:09 |
| Merchelo | did you install the ATI specific driver | 06:10 |
| Merchelo | hold on, i'll get the name now | 06:10 |
| WaterSevenUb | Merchelo, I have used the Restricted Drivers Manager .... | 06:10 |
| WaterSevenUb | Anyway, even without 3D I should be able to set screen resolution to higher than 800x600... | 06:11 |

| hyper_ch | Prodoc: I guess that is just a glitch | 07:32 |
| grazie | Prodoc: ubuntu, xubuntu (and maybe kubuntu) share the update manager package and the same package repos | 07:34 |
| grazie | hyper_ch: Am I supposed to guess? | 07:34 |
| hyper_ch | grazie: nah, I just think it's funny because I run Etch in a "terminal" but use another terminal to ssh into :) | 07:35 |

| === grazie has bombay belly so doesn't mind too much....this time | ||
| _aussieman | why doesnt gxine work when i am not connected to a network? | 07:54 |
| Prodoc | hyper_ch: nope, just a default structure when installing xubuntu | 07:55 |
| Prodoc | why? | 07:55 |
| hyper_ch | Prodoc: it's good to have it on its own partition :) | 07:55 |
| grazie | _aussieman: very odd...start gxine in a terminal and see if you get a helpful error message | 07:55 |
| Prodoc | how come? | 07:55 |
| hyper_ch | because your settings and config files for programs are stored there | 07:56 |
| _aussieman | yes i did it was something about network config | 07:56 |
| _aussieman | im ovbviously connected now and it works | 07:56 |
| Will^Draven | well, the update manager hs borked up, guess i'm downloading an iso and doing my upgrade the hard way | 07:56 |
| _aussieman | next time i go offline ill do it and save the emssage and let you know | 07:56 |
| hyper_ch | so if you ever want to resetup the system you don't touch the /home partition and just do a reinstall of the software and your computer is new but the same as the old oner :) | 07:56 |
| Prodoc | aha, I guess there's no easy way to changed that now? | 07:57 |
| hyper_ch | Will^Draven: I'm sceptical about upgrades... I have my own /home partition and then I install a clean system :) | 07:57 |
| hyper_ch | Prodoc: have you used the command line? | 07:57 |
| Cinnander | does the update manager "upgrade to 7.04" just do a apt-get dist-upgrade? | 07:57 |
| Prodoc | hyper_ch: to some degree yes | 07:57 |
| hyper_ch | then it's not that difficult | 07:58 |
| hyper_ch | Cinnander: not quite... it first sets the sources.list to feisty and then it will do the same as dist-upgrade | 07:59 |
| grazie | Cinnander: update manager has its own interface to apt (not apt-get), so it's done in a slightly different way | 07:59 |
| === grazie snap | ||
| hyper_ch | Prodoc: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 08:00 |

| === grazie what a surprise ! | ||
| Prodoc | :-) | 08:01 |
| hyper_ch | Prodoc: yeppa... you'd be quicker resizing your partition, setup /home as seperate partition, fetch the iso through torrent and reinstall the system with feisty *smile* | 08:01 |
| Prodoc | I guess it's a very good sign | 08:01 |

| kma | can't get the .torrent file :\ | 08:17 |
| kma | there | 08:18 |
| Merchelo | easiest way to dist-upgrade? | 08:18 |
| hyper_ch | kma: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/feisty/release/ | 08:18 |
| kma | hyper_ch: got it now | 08:18 |
| kma | hyper_ch: my download for the .torrent file somehow.. stalled :\ | 08:18 |
| kma | at 0% :\ | 08:18 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: I tend to think: alter the sources.list to feisty and then sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 08:19 |
| hyper_ch | kma: oh | 08:19 |
| kma | but the torrent is quick.. 400kb/s and climbing | 08:19 |
| Merchelo | yeah, i think i'll wait for a few weeks, so the repos aren't so busy. | 08:19 |
| somerville32 | Don't dist-upgrade | 08:19 |
| somerville32 | Use the upgrade manager | 08:19 |
| Merchelo | hmm, no need to chage the sources.list? | 08:20 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: listen to somerville32 ^^ | 08:20 |
| somerville32 | No need to change sources.list | 08:20 |
| Merchelo | cools | 08:20 |
| somerville32 | Just run "update-manager -c" | 08:20 |
| hyper_ch | somerville32: why not dist-upgrade? | 08:21 |
| somerville32 | hyper_ch, the update-manager corrects known issues and lovely stuff | 08:21 |
| somerville32 | dist-upgrade doesn't do that kind of magic | 08:21 |
| somerville32 | Essentially it will do a dist-upgrade | 08:22 |

| TheSheep | nuovo: does dmesg say anything interesting when you do that? | 09:45 |
| godless | I'm sure we will hear lots in the next few days :) | 09:45 |
| kalikiana | kma, Is that from 'Thunar --version'? Mine is 0.8. | 09:45 |
| TheSheep | kalikiana: 0.8 is in xfce 4.4.0 | 09:46 |
| kalikiana | godless, Normally gui is recommended. But for dapper/edgy there was some strange issue which could break everything. | 09:46 |
| kma | kalikiana: Thunar 0.4.1svn-r23151 (Xfce 4.3.99.1) | 09:46 |
| kalikiana | TheSheep, Yeah, so why would Thunar suggest it's 0.4? | 09:46 |
| kma | kalikiana: remember.. this is not fisty | 09:47 |
| godless | Yeah I'm getting Thunar 0.4.1svn-r23151 (Xfce 4.3.99.1) too. In thought I had upgraded xfce :/ | 09:47 |
| kalikiana | kma, Updating to a stable might be good. (I'm also on Edgy, manually updated xfce) | 09:47 |
| godless | Oh. On the other box. | 09:47 |
| godless | Too many boxen! | 09:47 |
| kma | kalikiana: well, I'm just cleaning up so I can take a backup before I wipe this installation and install feisty | 09:47 |
