[12:29] <TheSheep> rijo: maybe you need to configure your router and add the mac of your laptop to it, to allow connecting, or increase the limit on the number of computers that can connect at a time?
[12:29] <DaBeowulf> Wow I'm puzzled. I downloaded the Linux www.adom.de version unpacked it and when I want to execute the program it says:
[12:30] <DaBeowulf> Huh did that paste thing work?
[12:30] <DaBeowulf> Anyway here: Failed to execute child process "/home/ubuntu/Desktop/adom/adom" (No such file or directory).
[12:31] <DaBeowulf> But what did I try to execute then?
[12:31] <TheSheep> DaBeowulf: I think that adom is in the repositories
[12:32] <TheSheep> !info adom
[12:32] <ubotu> Package adom does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[12:32] <TheSheep> :/
[12:32] <TheSheep> or not
[12:32] <DaBeowulf> What would that mean 'in the repositories'?
[12:32] <DaBeowulf> Anyway why does it tell me it's not there when I try to execute it? O_o
[12:34] <TheSheep> DaBeowulf: how did you run it?
[12:34] <TheSheep> (try to run)
[12:34] <DaBeowulf> double click or right click -> execute
[12:35] <DaBeowulf> Is it because I only booted the OS from the CD?
[12:35] <TheSheep> DaBeowulf: no, open a terminal and try to run it from there
[12:35] <TheSheep> DaBeowulf: you see, adom i s text-mode game, it needs a terminal to run
[12:36] <TheSheep> (although the error message is weird)
[12:36] <DaBeowulf> what is the command? when I type adom it says command not found although dir shows it
[12:36] <DaBeowulf> among the readmes and stuff
[12:37] <TheSheep> cd Desktop/adom
[12:37] <TheSheep> and then
[12:37] <TheSheep> ./adom
[12:38] <DaBeowulf> "No such file or directory
[12:40] <StOoOo> TheSheep: cheers. i found gnash can play (very) simple flash stuff and they're working on youtube support - sudo aptitude install mozilla-plugin-gnash :)
[12:43] <TheSheep> DaBeowulf: fun
[12:43] <TheSheep> DaBeowulf: does 'ls' show it?
[12:44] <DaBeowulf> it does in green
[12:44] <DaBeowulf> as does dir (just not in green) like I said.
[12:45] <DaBeowulf> I don't think that's fun, though. :|
[12:45] <DaBeowulf> Weird maybe.
[12:46] <DaBeowulf> Hmm, I've thrown the mount point to my Win HDD onto the desktop as well. Maybe it doesn't like that.
[12:49] <snyft> yo
[12:49] <snyft> anyone that can tell what bootable flag does?
[12:51] <DaBeowulf> I'll try a fresh boot and not making my HDD accessable..
[12:53] <TheSheep> snyft: on old computers allows to boot from that partition
[12:57] <snyft> ok
[12:57] <snyft> i chose yes seemed like a safe bet :d
[12:58] <xubuntu-live-use> hello, i'm curious, is there a way to get icons to preview the file like gnome does in ubuntu?
[12:58] <xubuntu-live-use> for instance, if the file is a video or a picture, it will be a slightly large icon with a snapshot/preview of the file.
[12:58] <TheSheep> xubuntu-live-use: yes, you just need the thumbnailer for that particular kind of files installed
[12:59] <TheSheep> xubuntu-live-use: there is a thumbnailer for images installed by default
[12:59] <TheSheep> xubuntu-live-use: the thumbnailer for movies is included in the totem package
[01:00] <xubuntu-live-use> so, i need  to specify that these thumbnailer apps run at startup?
[01:00] <Catoptromancy> mine work by default
[01:00] <Catoptromancy> should be something in preferences or view
[01:00] <TheSheep> xubuntu-live-use: no, you just need to have them installed
[01:01] <TheSheep> xubuntu-live-use: you don't have thumbnails for images?
[01:02] <xubuntu-live-use> TheSheep: nope, i've put some movies and pics on the desktop to test this.
[01:02] <xubuntu-live-use> perhaps i'm using an outdated xubuntu live cd?
[01:02] <TheSheep> I think that pictures worked always
[01:03] <TheSheep> maybe not on the desktop
[01:03] <hydan> TheSheep: doesn't work in the File Manager either.
[01:03] <hydan> what app should i install?
[01:04] <hydan> xzgv?
[01:04] <TheSheep> hydan: the picture thumbnailer should be installed together with thunar
[01:06] <hydan> i'm using the latest xubuntu, v. 7.04
[01:07] <hydan> i'm sorry if i'm annoying.
[01:07] <hydan> i'm trying not to be.
[01:11] <hydan> what settings menu would allow me to specify if i want thumbnails?
[01:13] <TheSheep> hydan: open the file manager, go to edit->preferences
[01:13] <TheSheep> hydan: there should be a checkbox next to 'show thumbnails'
[01:13] <hydan> it's checked to show them
[01:14] <TheSheep> hydan: what kind of images are these?
[01:14] <hydan> .jpg and an ogg theora video
[01:15] <TheSheep> :/
[01:15] <TheSheep> should work
[01:15] <hydan> hmm, oh well.
[01:15] <hydan> thanks. i won't ask again, unless i install ;)
[01:17] <hydan> h/e, if i've already got a copy of ubuntu, i suppose i could simply install xubunt-desktop.
[01:19] <snyft> how do you configurate grub?
[01:20] <snyft> because when i start my computer i get "error cant find operating system" but when i boot from xubuntu and choose boot from first hard drive i can get to grub
[01:23] <xubuntu-live-use> to whomever: why is xfce considered faster than gnome?
[01:23] <spaceraver>  hmm, i have hosed my system (again)
[01:23] <crimsun> xubuntu-live-use: it has a smaller in-memory and cpu-time footprint by default.
[01:24] <spaceraver> think it's the NTFS-3G drivers.. but how do i get to the cli and remove it??
[01:27] <xubuntu-live-use> well, thanks for the help today. bbl :)
[01:27] <xubuntu-live-use> /exit
[01:53] <Jester45>  !seen vidd_laptop
[02:06] <snyft> nobody that can help with my problem?
[02:10] <Jester45> whats your problem
[02:13] <snyft> ok so i got this error after installing xubuntu. i disabled the harddrive to boot from so i could boot up the xubuntu install cd. then when it finished i added it again. and now i get "error cant find operating system" but if i boot with the cd and choose boot from first hd i get to grub and can choose what to boot.
[02:13] <Jester45> looks like somthing got erased on the harddrive
[02:14] <snyft> it cant be the bootorder in grub?
[02:14] <snyft> or something like that.
[02:14] <snyft> i even tried reformating and reinstall xubuntu
[02:14] <snyft> dident help
[02:14] <Jester45> hummm...
[02:15] <snyft> can it be because i enabled bootflag? :s
[02:15] <snyft> it was set to no by default but i changed it to yes.
[02:15] <Jester45> maybe try in #ubuntu this doesnt seem to be xubuntu spefic
[02:15] <snyft> ok
[02:15] <Jester45> well you would need to be bootable to boot
[02:18] <snyft> bah.

[03:22] <tuppa> i.e. is there a network-manager subtitute for xubuntu?
[03:41] <Pumpernickel> tuppa: wifi-radar, although it's not installed by default.

[03:43] <Pumpernickel> !anyone
[03:43] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:44] <snt> well i want to see all hds or something like that in grub
[03:44] <kalikiana_> snt, It has tab completion, you could try typing '/dev/' and pressing tab.
[03:45] <snt> oh ok
[03:46] <snt> it dident work
[03:46] <snt> it just repeats /dev/
[03:47] <kalikiana_> Hm.. and if you type just '/dev'?
[03:47] <snt> dident work either
[03:48] <kalikiana_> I'm sorry, I don't know any better then.
[03:49] <snt> :(
[03:50] <Jester45> try /dev/h<tab>
[03:55] <R[a] ndom> or just ls /dev/sd*
[04:36] <mboso_> I set my default XTerm font size to large in my Xdefaults file. when I use Alt+2 to launch an xterm it works, but when I use a keyboard shortcut I created (alt+f1) it still uses the old size. How can I make the change apply to the keyboard short cut as well?

[06:10] <siimo> hi anyone using gutsy gibbon.. notice the xfce panel launchers icons are weirdly getting zoomed in gutsy
[06:12] <Pumpernickel> Gutsy support is in #ubuntu+1.  This sounds more like a bug, though, which should be filed in launchpad.
[06:12] <Jester45> gusty isnt alpha yet dont expect to many things to work perfectly
[06:12] <siimo> yeah not complaining...
[06:12] <Jester45> Pumpernickel: is it aplha yet?
[06:13] <siimo> Pumpernickel: what is interesting that the icons looks fine if your panel width is fat but if i make it really small like 25 then instad of icons reducing size they dont fit inside and their edges disappear
[06:21] <Pumpernickel> No, it's not alpha yet.  There should be a test cd image spun out by the end of this week, but that'd be the first.

[08:40] <hyper__ch> hiho
[08:46] <Nikilos> Hi everyone
[08:46] <j1mc> hi Nikilos
[08:47] <Nikilos> I have been trying to install a theme on Xubuntu, but it doesn't seem to be working
[08:47] <Nikilos> Can anyone help me?
[08:47] <j1mc> hmmm... ok.
[08:47] <j1mc> i'll try
[08:47] <j1mc> where are you trying to install the theme?  what folder?
[08:48] <Nikilos> Well, I've tried /usr/shared/themes and /home/%user%/.themes
[08:48] <Nikilos> Both don't work
[08:49] <j1mc> ok.  how did you "unpack" the theme files, did you use ... i think it's called xarchiver?
[08:49] <j1mc> ... you're trying to add the files to the right folders, though.
[08:49] <Nikilos> Yes, I used Xarchiver
[08:49] <j1mc> actually, i think it's /usr/share/themes... (not /usr/share...)
[08:49] <j1mc> i mean, not /usr/shareD
[08:49] <j1mc> but anyway... :)
[08:50] <j1mc> one thing to check is that you mark the check box that says to use the full path (when you unpack the file)
[08:50] <hyper__ch> j1mc: where can you download the ubuntu packages from?
[08:50] <j1mc> hyper__ch: which ubuntu packages?
[08:50] <hyper__ch> j1mc: the ones you can install through apt
[08:51] <j1mc> hyper__ch: you mean, where does ubuntu store the .deb files that you download through apt?
[08:52] <hyper__ch> j1mc: no, where I can download the .deb files from the ubuntu repos
[08:52] <j1mc> hyper__ch: do you want to download all of them, or just a specific one or two?
[08:52] <j1mc> Nikilos: did my comment help?
[08:52] <hyper__ch> j1mc: I just want to know where they can be downloaded from :)
[08:53] <j1mc> i know how you can DL individual packages... (hold on a sec... i'll give an example)
[08:54] <j1mc> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+search
[08:54] <j1mc> you can search for packages there
[08:54] <hyper__ch> j1mc: all I know is a web adress for a browser to point to that can be used to download the .deb packages
[08:55] <j1mc> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/amd64/xfce4-panel/4.4.1-1ubuntu1
[08:56] <j1mc> that's where you could get the .deb for xfce4-panel
[08:56] <Nikilos> I'd like to install this theme here: http://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.php/etude-4?content=54509 but failed to do so
[08:58] <hyper__ch> j1mc: found now this:  http://packages.ubuntu.com/  that's simpler to use
[08:58] <j1mc> hyper__ch: that should let you see the packages, but i don't think it will let you install them.
[08:59] <j1mc> or download them... not from there, anyway.
[08:59] <hyper__ch> j1mc: it does.... it finally lists the mirrors and from there you can then download the .debs
[08:59] <j1mc> Nikilos: when you open up xarchiver, do you see two check boxes along the lower right-hand side?
[08:59] <j1mc> hyper__ch: oh, cool.  :)
[09:00] <Nikilos> Let me check...
[09:00] <hyper__ch> it looks exactely the same as the package thingy for debian :)
[09:00] <Nikilos> No, I don't see two check boxes
[09:00] <j1mc> Nikilos: give me a moment...
[09:02] <hyper__ch> since I enabled uPnP in KTorrent it runs really neatly :)
[09:02] <j1mc> Nikilos: ok... when you select the tar.bz2 file in xarchiver... and then go to extract it, you should see the check boxes
[09:03] <j1mc> does one of the check boxes say, "recreate folders" or "use full path" or something similar?
[09:03] <Nikilos> "Extract Here" or "Extract To"?
[09:03] <j1mc> try Extract To
[09:04] <Nikilos> It says "Files to Extract" and the options are "All" and "Only Selected"
[09:04] <j1mc> ok, select all...
[09:04] <j1mc> then what happens
[09:05] <Nikilos> Well, it extracts all the files to a specified location
[09:06] <j1mc> when you open up that extracted folder, what's inside of it
[09:06] <Nikilos> Another folder called etude-4.6
[09:07] <j1mc> and what's inside of that folder?
[09:07] <Nikilos> Another folder called xfwm4
[09:07] <j1mc> ok... cool.
[09:08] <j1mc> so what is the name of the folder that you pasted into your /usr/share/themes folder?
[09:08] <Nikilos> I actually deleted that folder a bit ago
[09:08] <Nikilos> So I don't remember
[09:09] <j1mc> ok, well... try pasting the e-tude... folder into the appropriate location.
[09:09] <Nikilos> Which is /usr/share/themes, correct?
[09:09] <j1mc> yes
[09:10] <Nikilos> And do I run User Interface Settings now?
[09:10] <j1mc> or you should be able to just go to your home directory and type "mkdir .themes"
[09:10] <j1mc> and install the folder there.
[09:10] <Nikilos> Do I type that in Terminal?
[09:10] <j1mc> yes
[09:13] <Nikilos> Ok, I have the folder in .themes now
[09:13] <j1mc> ok.  is it in your user interface chooser option list?
[09:13] <Nikilos> Should the folder order be like this?  /.themes/etude-4.6/xfwm4?
[09:14] <j1mc> yeah, i think so
[09:14] <Nikilos> Because it's not showing up in the list
[09:15] <j1mc> hmmmm....
[09:18] <Nikilos> Is there any reason for it not to show up?
[09:20] <j1mc> Nikilos: can you check the XFCE Window Manager settings (not User Interface Settings).
[09:20] <Nikilos> Sure
[09:20] <Nikilos> Ok, it's up
[09:20] <j1mc> w00t!
[09:20] <j1mc> it was in the window manager settings?
[09:21] <Nikilos> Er, it's in the Manager Settings, yes
[09:21] <Nikilos> OH
[09:21] <Nikilos> There we go
[09:21] <j1mc> :D
[09:21] <Nikilos> Thank you so much!
[09:21] <j1mc> yw!
[09:21] <j1mc> btw, i found the answer here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=449229
[09:21] <Nikilos> Thanks again!
[09:22] <j1mc> it is difficult for me to help with xubuntu when i'm running gnome on top of debian on my dsktop, so i think i need to put xubuntu on it.  :)
[09:22] <Nikilos> Indeed
[09:22] <j1mc> take care.
[09:22] <j1mc> i'm going to sleep
[09:22] <hyper__ch> j1mc: you run gnome????????? ;)
[09:22] <hyper__ch> veto
[09:22] <j1mc> hyper__ch: only because i wanted better samba support
[09:22] <j1mc> and i'm going to wipe it in the next few days
[09:23] <hyper__ch> ok :)
[09:23] <hyper__ch> how is deb 4.0?
[09:23] <j1mc> it's been good.
[09:23] <j1mc> i'm actually running "lenny" which is the new name for debian testing.
[09:24] <j1mc> it's pretty much the same as etch right now, though.
[09:24] <hyper__ch> is it usable as desktop-os?
[09:24] <j1mc> nothing too drastially different.
[09:24] <j1mc> i would say yes.  definitely.
[09:24] <hyper__ch> ok... I still tend to think debian is great for servers and ubuntu great for desktops :)
[09:25] <j1mc> yeah, ubuntu has a slight edge on the desktop, but the latest debians still have a lot going for them on the desktop.
[09:25] <hyper__ch> goodnight then :)
[09:26] <j1mc> good night!

[02:18] <hyper_ch> not good to have spaces in a the URL
[02:18] <thirdy_> not good for browsers?
[02:18] <hyper_ch> nope
[02:19] <TheSheep> hyper_ch: why not?
[02:20] <hyper_ch> TheSheep: many reasons :)
[02:20] <TheSheep> hyper_ch: name one
[02:20] <hyper_ch> it looks ugly :)
[02:21] <TheSheep> hyper_ch: you can type normal space there too
[02:21] <TheSheep> hyper_ch: and it will work
[02:21] <hyper_ch> but then a lot of programs don't recognize it as url
[02:21] <TheSheep> hyper_ch: that's not the browser's problem
[02:22] <thirdy_> bros, wat do think bout wat I wrote?
[02:22] <hyper_ch> TheSheep: it is... when you click on it the browser doesn't have the right url
[02:32] <hyper_ch> thirdy_: why making another site for that? most of that has already been covered on countless sites and I tend to think ahving it all in one place would be much better
[02:34] <thirdy_> hyper_ch: can you tell some of those sites?
[02:34] <hyper_ch> www.ubuntuguide.org
[02:35] <hyper_ch> www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php
[02:35] <hyper_ch> and many other smalls...
[02:37] <hyper_ch> thirdy_: I don't want to stop you from creating one... I just want to point out that there are already huge ressources available :)
[02:37] <thirdy_> thats one of my probs
[02:37] <thirdy_> there are tooo many
[02:37] <thirdy_> and too huge
[02:38] <hyper_ch> I think ubunguguide and psychocat give a fair overview for starters
[02:38] <tripppy> is there a hardware chart/guide for ubuntu installs? like a flowchart or something?
[02:38] <thirdy_> yeah, maybe I just don't read a lot
[02:39] <thirdy_> don't like reading that much
[02:39] <thirdy_> I have a new 128mb geforce4
[02:39] <thirdy_> and ice pointer in penguin racer is still sloowwww
[02:40] <hyper_ch> tripppy: what do you mean?
[02:40] <hyper_ch> thirdy_: do you have the proprietary nvidia drivers installed?
[02:41] <tripppy> hyper_ch, well i have ALOT of hardware and i would like a guide or somehing so i can plug in some hardware specs and get a recommended ubuntu install
[02:41] <thirdy_> haven't installed anything bout drivers here in linux
[02:41] <tripppy> ie a P3600 with 128 ram and 256mb hardrive
[02:41] <hyper_ch> tripppy: I don't know what you mean... either your hardware will be recognized or it won't
[02:42] <tripppy> no more about the type of install. xubuntu , ubuntun, kubuntun, server etc...
[02:42] <hyper_ch> tripppy: and for some hardware like webcams and wifi card you try to get those running with alternate stuff... but mostly it's go or no-go
[02:42] <thirdy_> hyper_ch: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/FPS_Games
[02:42] <hyper_ch> tripppy: you can't install it on that computer... 256mb disk is too slow
[02:42] <hyper_ch> too low I mean
[02:43] <thirdy_> what should I get?
[02:43] <hyper_ch> thirdy_: how should I know?
[02:44] <tripppy> hyper_ch, same hardware but a bigger HDD? could i run xubuntu?
[02:44] <hyper_ch> with a hd of 256mb you should consider using DamnSmallLInux or featherlinux
[02:44] <thirdy_> dats my prob
[02:44] <tripppy> yeah i know...
[02:44] <hyper_ch> tripppy: yes, xubuntu would be the only one... but even 128 mb ram are quite low
[02:44] <tripppy> kk
[02:44] <thirdy_> I'll have to try it, install it
[02:45] <hyper_ch> you'd be better of using dsl or feather....
[02:45] <tripppy> yeah i know. i use DSL alot.
[02:45] <thirdy_> only to find out that my system doesn't like it
[02:45] <tripppy> well i used to
[02:45] <tripppy> i have it installed on my 128flash card.
[02:46] <tripppy> so would 512mb ram. 10gig HDD and a PIII 600mhz. run xubuntu well?
[02:46] <hyper_ch> yes, that should be fine
[02:49] <tripppy> im reading here -> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal
[02:49] <tripppy> mini cd... cool
[02:50] <tripppy> soooo what do these installs after downloading those suggested packages?
[02:50] <tripppy> take up in size?
[02:50] <tripppy> sorry stoned.
[02:51] <hyper_ch> tripppy: dunno
[02:51] <thirdy_> is there testmyhardware.com for linux?
[02:51] <tripppy> dam...
[02:52] <tripppy> yeha?
[02:54] <thirdy_> aside from beryl what else is "wow"?
[02:54] <tripppy> compiz
[02:55] <thirdy_> is it lighter?
[02:56] <thirdy_> I have 128vram
[02:56] <thirdy_> 1.1duron
[02:56] <thirdy_> 256ram
[02:58] <tripppy> no. its using way to much. plus im in ubuntu
[03:08] <thirdy_> so ubuntu is a plus for fat?
[03:08] <thirdy_> I min heavier for your comp
[03:11] <Ramla> xfwm's compositing is nice.
[03:11] <Ramla> settings -> window manager tweaks -> compositor tab
[03:12] <TheSheep> linux doesn't actaully have lots of "wow", it just works
[03:12] <TheSheep> beryl/compiz is an exception -- in both of these statements ;)
[03:26] <thirdy_> Only beryl and compiz is the wow?
[03:26] <thirdy_> wat else?
[03:30] <TheSheep> quoth the sheep: nothing more
[03:30] <thirdy_> Metacity
[03:30] <thirdy_> Only for GNOME?
[03:30] <thirdy_> wats for KDE?
[03:31] <TheSheep> not sure, but you can use metacity with xfce too
[03:31] <TheSheep> it's just the window manager
[03:31] <TheSheep> instead of xfwm4
[03:31] <thirdy_> OK I'm new to all these term
[03:32] <thirdy_> *terms
[03:32] <TheSheep> thirdy_: window manager is the part that is responsible for drawing and positioning the windows
[03:32] <thirdy_> TheSheep: can you give me a quick big picture of linux?
[03:32] <thirdy_> ok lets start with wat composes xubuntu?
[03:33] <thirdy_> haha, did vista imitated?
[03:34] <thirdy_> Desktop Window Manager
[03:34] <TheSheep> thirdy_: all the systems take from each other, you can't tell anymore what was invented where
[03:34] <TheSheep> thirdy_: there are lots of parts, best read the dekstop guide or some other introductory book
[03:36] <thirdy_> I wish there a distro dat gives all the linux newbie all he needs to become a linux pro
[03:36] <TheSheep> thirdy_: you won't become a linux pro by hanging to a single distro
[03:37] <TheSheep> thirdy_: one of the main points of linux is diversity
[03:38] <thirdy_> ok, so wats my window manager?
[03:39] <thirdy_> ALT+F2
[03:39] <thirdy_> then wat?
[03:39] <aabrahao> hi, How Can a fix broken packages? Via synaptic in edit fix bronken packages is not resolving
[03:39] <TheSheep> xfwm4
[03:39] <thirdy_> I'm using xubuntu, then installed kununtu-desktop
[03:39] <TheSheep> thirdy_: but if you see windows, then it's already running
[03:40] <TheSheep> aabrahao: "broken"?
[03:40] <thirdy_> so that the command to use wen I'm in the console modE?
[03:41] <TheSheep> thirdy_: no, that's a command that is used automatically when you're logging in and starting the whole graphical desktop
 yes, broken
[03:43] <TheSheep> aabrahao: broken how?
[03:43] <thirdy_> I can't run KWin
 in synaptic when I mark a package to remove, for exemple, the error is Could Not Aplly changes, fix broken packages first. Then I go to edit fix broken packages and hen appears a unable to correct dendencies
[03:50] <TheSheep> aabrahao: close synaptic, open terminal and type 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
 sill the same eror
[03:54] <thirdy_> TheSheep: window manager == edit UI?
[03:55] <thirdy_> I wanna every program to appear in my desktop
[03:56] <thirdy_> how can I do that?
[03:58] <GrueTamer> thirdy_: what do you mean? just like, desktop icons, or what
[03:59] <thirdy_> yeah, Is there an editor or something like that?
[04:00] <thirdy_> GrueTamer, with some effects
[04:00] <thirdy_> =)
[04:00] <GrueTamer> and that means...
[04:00] <GrueTamer> i remember that making icons wasnt difficult, hold on, ill launch X once i have breakfast in front of me
[04:07] <GrueTamer> thirdy__: sorry, ive been trying to figure out how to add icons in xfce (i assume youre in xfce), and i dont remember how
[04:08] <TheSheep> GrueTamer: to menu or to desktop?
[04:08] <TheSheep> or to panel...
[04:18] <thirdy__> GrueTamer, I'm using KDE
[04:18] <thirdy__> I installed kubuntu-desktop
[04:18] <GrueTamer> oh
[04:19] <thirdy__> someone got my nick
[04:19] <thirdy__> how do I get it back?
[04:19] <thirdy__> I've registered my nick
[04:20] <GrueTamer> you can log in with /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password>
[04:21] <TheSheep> thirdy__: you never logged out, you're here with two nicks now
[04:21] <thirdy__> oh
[04:21] <thirdy__> ok
[04:22] <thirdy__> Ok so how bout autoplaying an mp3 wen you start KDE?
[04:22] <GrueTamer> theres an option for that somewhere...
[04:24] <GrueTamer> since ive installed kde for the fun of it, ill launch that now, gimme a minute
[04:26] <GrueTamer> thirdy__: in the control center, go to multimedia and sound, then system notifications
[04:26] <GrueTamer> but it might not work with mp3 files
[04:28] <thirdy__> ok, any good sound file converter?
[04:29] <thirdy__> mp3 to .ogg
[04:42] <lunixman> hello
[04:43] <lunixman> what should i type in the command prompt for ubuntu to detect my other partitions? i have other partitions in a single harddrive
[04:48] <TheSheep> !partitions
[04:48] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[04:48] <TheSheep> !fstab
[04:48] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[04:59] <grazie> lunixman: "sudo fdisk -l" is the usual way to list partitions
[05:00] <lunixman> grazie: i already tried that, but it only listed my partitions, it didnt make them accessible through my /media folder
[05:01] <grazie> lunixman: then you have to mount manually or add entries to /etc/fstab as above ^^
[05:01] <lunixman> how do i mount manually?
[05:02] <lunixman> through the command prompt
[05:02] <lunixman> last time i remember some guy gave me a command
[05:02] <lunixman> and it automatically installed my extra drive
[05:04] <Cinnander> man mount
[05:04] <grazie> lunixman: "sudo mount /dev/hdx /media/mount-dir" where hdx=partition device and mount-dir is the mount dir which you probably want to create. This will be lost on reboot
[05:06] <grazie> lunixman: note, nothing is installed. If the drive is new, is will need to be partitioned and the partition will need to be formatted before i can be mounted.
[05:06] <grazie> it can* ^^
[05:09] <grazie> lunixman: you should always unmount manually mounted devices after using them. "sudo umount /media/mount-dir"
[05:09] <lunixman> ok
[05:13] <Jester45> how can i remove the first 6 letters on a much of files
[05:13] <Jester45> bunch*
[05:25] <TheSheep> Jester45: use the bulk rename in thunar
[05:26] <TheSheep> Jester45: you mean file names, right?
[05:26] <Jester45> yea
[05:26] <TheSheep> Jester45: or the content?
[05:26] <Jester45> does that open when you select more than one file and try to rename it? becuase it just trys to rename tham all to untitled.mp3
[05:27] <TheSheep> Jester45: change the method
[05:27] <Jester45> o i think i see it
[05:27] <lunixman> hello grazie
[05:27] <lunixman> i finally mounted hda5
[05:28] <lunixman> unfortunately it has an X marked on top
[05:28] <lunixman> even as root user
[05:28] <lunixman> i cant change the options under Permissions
[05:29] <Jester45> thanks TheSheep that works perfectly
[05:37] <W8TAH> hi folks -- i installed the ubuntustudio packages, and have now found that i dont need all of whats in them -- how can i un-install the packages as a group, like they were installed?
[05:38] <vidd_laptop> sudo apt-get remove [main package name]  && sudo apt-get autoremove
[05:38] <thirdy_> is that equivalent visual studio?
[05:38] <thirdy_> in windows?
[05:40] <W8TAH> vidd_laptop, thanks
[05:46] <thirdy_> is there a function in some irc client, wer you get to set auto join channels?
[05:47] <thirdy_> I'm using xchat
[05:47] <vidd_laptop> thirdy_, yes there is....
[05:48] <vidd_laptop> go to the network list....
[05:48] <vidd_laptop> edit your default network....
[05:49] <vidd_laptop> and put in the channels to join in the following format:
[05:49] <vidd_laptop> [no space] #[chan1] ,#[chan2] ,#[chan3] 
[05:50] <vidd_laptop> there are no spaces anywhere in this box
[05:51] <vidd_laptop> thirdy_, did any of that make sense?
[05:52] <W8TAH> vidd_laptop, thank you -- that solved my problem -- :)
[05:54] <thirdy_> thanx
[05:54] <thirdy_> done
[05:55] <thirdy_> vidd_laptop, is there any guide on how to start from scratch to kubuntu?
[05:56] <Jester45> thirdy_: apt-get inatll kubuntu-desktop
[05:57] <Jester45> install*
[05:57] <vidd_laptop> no...but if you want to do a complete changeover.....then sudo apt-get remove x11-common && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install [ubuntu flavor of choice] -desktop
[05:58] <Jester45> my way just adds on to xubuntu
[05:58] <thirdy_> yeah that wat I did
[05:58] <thirdy_> but I got an error
[05:58] <thirdy_> the some1 told me this
[05:58] <vidd_laptop> this will take out x11 and every scrap of gui-stuff with it, and install your flavor of choice without anything you dont need
 thirdy: do first this:   sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
 thirdy: then do reboo and then sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[06:00] <thirdy_> now sometimes I just get a blank scree on boot up
[06:00] <thirdy_> *screen
[06:01] <Jester45> did you dist-upgrade into a new version or was it just a normal upgrade
[06:05] <thirdy_> dunno
[06:05] <thirdy_> sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[06:06] <thirdy_> thats the exact command I did
[06:06] <Jester45> did you edit sources.list before that
[06:06] <thirdy_> nope, never
[06:06] <Jester45> ok
[06:06] <Jester45> upgradeing to diffrent version can cause trobles
[06:07] <thirdy_> Now I'm planning to just download kubuntu iso
[06:07] <thirdy_> kubuntu-desktop doesn't give every apt in kubuntu
[06:08] <thirdy_> I didn't have Kdevelop
[06:08] <thirdy_> after install kubuntu-desktop
[06:14] <TheSheep> thirdy_: why don't you just install the programs you need with synaptic?
[06:15] <thirdy_> TheSheep, yeah but the boot up problem is still ther
[06:15] <TheSheep> "the boot up problem"?
[06:16] <vidd_laptop> what "boot up problem" you having thirdy_ ?
[06:19] <Jester45> TheSheep: could you help me with setting up my mpd?
[06:20] <Jester45> Starting Music Player Daemon: Error reading db, fgets
[06:20] <Jester45> failed.
[06:21] <TheSheep> Jester45: what did you change?
[06:21] <Jester45> where all the files are at
[06:21] <Jester45> i will restart from scratch
[06:22] <TheSheep> you have to remember that mpd runs as a different user, it needs the rights to read the music files
[06:22] <Jester45> yea the music folder is read/write to all
[06:22] <Jester45> just to make sure
[06:23] <TheSheep> >_<
[06:24] <Jester45> ok i got a fresh .conf
[06:24] <Jester45> is the only thing i need to do is change the muisic directory and restart mpd then mpd --create-db ?
[06:25] <TheSheep> yes
[06:26] <TheSheep> actually, it should do --create-db by itself
[06:26] <Jester45> ok.. it cant open my music directory but it should be able to
[06:27] <Jester45> couldnt i just let it run as me?
[06:30] <TheSheep> Jester45: just add mpd to your group
[06:30] <TheSheep> Jester45: in /etc/group
[06:30] <TheSheep> Jester45: and make the directory group-readable
[06:31] <Jester45> in thunar i set each option to read/write
[06:32] <b52GM> hello
[06:32] <b52GM> does any one have a intel wireless card 2200BG
[06:32] <b52GM> i can not have my led wireles on
[06:36] <Jester45> TheSheep: mpd is not in /group
[06:39] <Jester45> or /etc/group
[06:43] <Jester45> ok... mpd cant open the tag_cache even though i have it running as root
[07:01] <lunixman> how do i delete a directory using mkdir?
[07:01] <lunixman> or is it another command?
[07:13] <Amon-san> what lightweight office application would i use with xubutu?
[07:14] <TheSheep> Amon-san: Abiword for word processing, gnumerica for spreadsheet
[07:14] <TheSheep> Amon-san: oarge for calendar
[07:14] <TheSheep> orage
[07:15] <Amon-san> ok, thanks
[07:23] <Jester45> lunixman: use rm -rf /path/to/directory
[07:23] <Jester45> TheSheep: if i try to run mpd as root i cant access the db
[07:24] <TheSheep> Jester45: maybe mpd drops the permissions?
[07:24] <TheSheep> Jester45: many daemons will change its user when you run them as root
[07:25] <Jester45> well the conf says if you dont give it a user it will keep root
[07:25] <Jester45> If started as root, MPD will drop root privileges and run as this user instead.  Otherwise, MPD will run as the user it was started by.  If left unspecified, MPD will not drop root privileges at all (not recommended).
[07:26] <Jester45> so i figured it would try it just to i know it works and figure out the problem after that but it says the db permission denied
[07:27] <Jester45> and i checked with top and it is running as root
[07:27] <TheSheep> Jester45: what is the path to the db in the config?
[07:28] <Jester45> /var/lib/mpd/tag_cache
[07:28] <TheSheep> Jester45: ls -ald /var/lib/mpd/tag_cache
[07:29] <Jester45> -rw-r--r-- 1 root audio 86 2007-06-03 11:23 /var/lib/mpd/tag_cache
[07:30] <TheSheep> chmod g+rw /var/lib/mpd/tag_cache
[07:31] <Jester45> ok
[07:31] <Jester45> its adding now
[07:32] <TheSheep> :)
[07:33] <Jester45> ok.... but mpc will not play anything
[07:33] <Jester45> i tried mpc next and mpc play
[07:33] <TheSheep> Jester45: checked your sound levels?
[07:33] <TheSheep> volume
[07:34] <Jester45> its not saying it playing
[07:34] <Jester45> only says
[07:34] <Jester45> ryan@ubuntu:/var/lib/mpd$ mpc play
[07:34] <Jester45> volume:  0%   repeat: off   random: off
[07:34] <TheSheep> haha, volume 0%
[07:34] <TheSheep> mpc volume +50
[07:36] <Jester45> but its not playing anything
[07:36] <Jester45> it should be saying the song name and time
[07:36] <Jester45> plus the voume doesnt do anything on my system
[07:37] <Jester45> but thats not a problem for me
[07:40] <Jester45> got to go eat
[07:58] <thirdy> how do I reduce eye candy in kubuntu, the one with slide meter
[07:58] <thirdy> KDE
[07:59] <brinsta1> hi, quick question, does xubuntu come with a webserver, if so , which one?
[08:03] <kalikiana> brinsta1, There is none preinstalled. But you can easily install e.g. apache2.
[08:04] <brinsta1> thanks kalikiana
[08:18] <Tron04> where does xubuntu store the last used resolution?
[08:21] <Deviad> Hello, I have some problems with my audio card of my macbook pro
[08:21] <Deviad> the audio is not so good
[08:21] <Deviad> it croaks
[08:27] <thirdy> any good site where I can learn how to make custom distro?
[08:33] <kalikiana> thirdy, I have 'linuxfromscratch' in my head, not sure if that is what you want...
[08:34] <thirdy> how bout rBuilder
[08:35] <GrueTamer> linuxfromscratch is what i think of\
[09:13] <Jester45>  TheSheep: ok, mpd --create-db scans all my files but sonata doesnt show any thing in the library and i think thats the problem with mpc
[09:18] <Jester45> ok i got a db now,  i dont know how
[09:37] <hyper__ch> TheSheep: what are the differences betweens ext3 and reiserfs?
[09:38] <Jester45> reiserfs v4 seems much faster
[09:43] <kalikiana> Jester45, ReiserFS *is* fast, but possibly unstable.
[09:43] <kalikiana> Many people say it's way faster than ext3.
[09:44] <Jester45> i would say 20-30 % faster
[09:44] <kalikiana> So you got ya answer.
[09:44] <Jester45> v3 isnt much faster
[09:45] <Jester45> xfs is ok on low spec machines
[09:45] <Jester45> and i dont really care for jfs
[09:47] <Ramla> http://zork.net/~nick/mail/why-reiserfs-is-teh-sukc
[09:48] <kalikiana> Arg, that site has an unreadable font.
[09:51] <Ramla> What do you mean? Size, colors?
[09:52] <Jester45> sytle and size make it kinda hard for me
[09:53] <Ramla> Could be a point or two bigger, but I like the colors
[09:53] <kalikiana> ^^ Yep, it's too small and the font type isn't that good for long text.
[09:54] <Jester45> its white and black... just like my whole desktop
[09:54] <Ramla> I looked at the source and stylesheet, didn't see a specific font face set
[09:57] <B1zz> hi, i got a wireless network,  i can connect to my wireless router grab an ip, i can also ping my router, but i cant get web pages to load.  Maybe I am missing a step? Any ideas
[09:58] <Jester45> yea i read that whole little thing and i dont really mind relying on ups
[09:59] <hyper__ch> hmmm, xjs seems to be the best one... quicker than ext3 or reiserfs
[10:00] <Jester45> what reiser
[10:02] <vidd_laptop> B1zz, did you set your DNS up?
[10:03] <B1zz> Oh. No...how would i go about doing that?
[10:03] <vidd_laptop> well...lets test that it is the problem first.....
[10:03] <B1zz> OK
[10:06] <vidd_laptop> put 4.79.226.105  in your web browser...does it load?
[10:06] <B1zz> checking now.....
[10:08] <vidd_laptop> or 4.79.226.105
[10:08] <vidd_laptop> or 4.79.226.104
[10:08] <vidd_laptop> anything?
[10:09] <B1zz> nope
[10:09] <vidd_laptop> ok....what is your routers ip?
[10:09] <B1zz> It just sits there looking for the page
[10:09] <B1zz> internal?
[10:09] <B1zz> or external?
[10:09] <vidd_laptop> it would be your gateway ip address
[10:10] <B1zz> internal i have it set to 192.168.2.1
[10:10] <vidd_laptop> you have two computers....right?
[10:10] <vidd_laptop> one that connects and one that does not....right?
[10:11] <B1zz> well, like i said, i can grab an ip on the 2nd one, can ping the router, but not net access
[10:12] <vidd_laptop> so then....yes...you have 2 computers connected to this router....are they both wireless or is the working one wired?
[10:12] <B1zz> both are wireless
[10:13] <vidd_laptop> on the one that WORKS....what is the gateway ip?
[10:13] <vidd_laptop> is it a windows box or a linux box?
[10:14] <B1zz> I cant seem to see it with ifconfig, but i do bealive its the routers ip
[10:15] <vidd_laptop> ok...then what does ifconfig say its inet address is?
[10:15] <vidd_laptop> and is it set for dhcp or static?
[10:16] <B1zz> 192.168.2.3 the ip im using on this pc and my router is set to dhcp
[10:16] <B1zz> as well as the pc
[10:28] <vidd_laptop> sorry B1zz ...iu had a call (im at work)
[10:30] <vidd_laptop> ok....so what you want to do is try to connect to 192.168.2.1
[10:30] <vidd_laptop> does this bring up your router's setup page?
[10:36] <vidd_laptop> B1zz, you still there?
[10:36] <B1zz> yeah, im sorry, I have a kvm switch and i was on the other pc
[10:36] <vidd_laptop> ah...ic
[10:36] <Jester45> so what do you do at your work vidd, you never seem busy
[10:37] <Jester45> well tell me in out channel
[10:37] <vidd_laptop> are you able to access the router set-up pages on the problem machine?
[10:38] <B1zz> well yes and no.  I have 2 wireless routers set up.  It hooked up to the 2nd one, and i was able to get the page.  But that's not the one that has the internet. so i unpluged it
[10:38] <B1zz> now im trying to get access to the other on, and cant seem to get the page to load
[10:40] <vidd_laptop> B1zz, you are going to need to ifdown then ifup your wireless card to get that to happen.....
[10:40] <B1zz> yeah thats what i am doing.
[10:46] <B1zz> weird, the connection is unstable now, it says connecting to the router it connects, but when i do dhclien, it looses the ap and the it does not grab an ip and it just loops that
[10:46] <vidd_laptop> why are you doing dhclient?
[10:47] <B1zz> to grab an ip?
[10:47] <vidd_laptop> what happens when you type iwconfig?
[10:47] <vidd_laptop> and what kind of wireless card you got?
[10:48] <B1zz> gives me my info.  AP mac and my wireless network name
[10:48] <vidd_laptop> ok....does the router have MAC filtering turned on?
[10:48] <B1zz> nope
[10:49] <vidd_laptop> what kind of wireless security do you have in place?
[10:49] <B1zz> wpa
[10:50] <Jester45> couldnt you just use MAC filtering?
[10:51] <B1zz> yeah, i could, but i prefer wpa :D
[10:51] <vidd_laptop> do you have wpa-suplicant [or whatever they use for it these days]  installed?
[10:51] <vidd_laptop> and coded correctly?
[10:52] <B1zz> im sure i do, but i will verify.  I will go back to google, and do a search for my problem.  Maybe it will fix the problem i was asking you about too :D
[10:53] <B1zz> thank you very much for your time vidd_laptop

[12:01] <Ramla> rijo: which driver are you using?
[12:02] <rijo> Ramla: ati

[12:02] <rijo> autodetected
[12:05] <Ramla> Okay.. can't help much then.. I just had a similar problem with nvidia driver
[12:05] <W8TAH> anyone know if the debs for xchat from their site are any good?
[12:08] <Ramla> rijo: it seems the metamodes -option should work for ati driver too. it's a line to be added to xorg.conf
[12:08] <Ramla> for example: Option"MetaModes""1024x768_60 800x600_60"
