[12:26] Hello everyone [12:27] hi tanlaan === equinoxe [n=irina@p6.pub.ro] has joined #xubuntu [12:28] hy there... [12:29] hi equinoxe [12:29] I've seen something strange [12:29] Apparently I have distro 6.06, think I should do a distro upgrade to the newest 7.04 *I think* [12:29] if I'm adding sudo [12:29] in front of a launcher command [12:29] I don't get any passwort promt [12:30] have you already put it in once before? [12:30] I can start a root terminal [12:30] *in the session* [12:30] equinoxe: sudo is a command line command, use gksu instead [12:30] no [12:30] you sure? [12:30] as in you have used sudo before [12:30] I'll reboot [12:30] to test it [12:30] again [12:30] okk [12:30] brb === BFTD [n=thomas@dialup-4.246.222.236.Dial1.SanJose1.Level3.net] has joined #xubuntu [12:39] is there any reason why my flashplayer doesnt support fullscreen mode although it should according to the version number? [12:40] http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/full_screen_mode.html === equinoxe [n=irina@p6.pub.ro] has joined #xubuntu [12:41] blizz: maybe it's about the windows version? [12:41] I'm back.... sudo in launcher stuff [12:41] after reboot, everything seems ok [12:42] I just can't remember what I did [12:42] equinoxe: better use gksu instead of sudo [12:42] http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flash_Player:9:Update:Full-Screen_Mode:Demos (it says linux updated shipped, but doesnt state if fullscreen mode was included) [12:42] hmm [12:42] It's not about me [12:42] :) [12:42] I can use gksu [12:42] but I do not want anyone else [12:42] to use sudo [12:43] and break things :) [12:43] I suppose I entered the root [12:43] password at least once [12:43] equinoxe: well, sudo will ask you for your password only the first time [12:43] until it happend [12:43] equinoxe: then after some time [12:43] haha [12:43] :) [12:43] thats what I thought [12:43] oh well [12:43] equinoxe: I think 2 minutes or minute, or something like that [12:44] Flash Player 9.0.31.0 for Linux includes all of the features from Flash Player 9.0.28.0 except for windowless mode and full-screen mode. [12:44] it seems odd to me [12:44] hooray. [12:44] I had ubuntu installed [12:44] until today [12:44] when I swtched to xubuntu [12:44] and... it just promted me [12:44] for everything [12:44] equinoxe: it's the same in ubuntu [12:44] hope so. [12:52] http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/1554/xfmediascreenshotny3.png [12:52] All other formats work, divx, wmv [12:52] none of my mp3s works [12:53] Catoptromancy: other than what? the screenshot is not very infomrative... [12:53] I click mp3 files [12:53] get that message [12:53] I didnt move directory around [12:54] they just stopped working [12:54] I know error is not very informative [12:54] but that screenshot is pretty much all it says [12:54] everything else seems to work [12:54] mp3 seems to laod fine [12:55] but doesnt autoplay, and clicking to play from playlist gives error [12:57] Catoptromancy: you have libxine-extracodecs installed? [12:58] ya [12:59] Catoptromancy: you're running feisty or gutsy? [12:59] fesity [01:00] how do I upgrade my distro?

[05:38] I'm trying to install VMware-tools on a guest installation in vmachine on windows... it's debian... not ubuntu [05:40] anyway, i run the installation file, and it gets to the part where it's looking for the directory of C header files [05:40] it offers /usr/src/linux/include [05:41] uname -r pushes out 2.6.18-4-k7... [05:41] and in /usr/src, there's a dir: linux-headers-2.6.18-d-k7... so i point to that directory [05:43] meaning linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7? [05:43] or, rather, i point the installation to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-3-k7/include ... and it says that the directory [05:43] no [05:43] yeah, typo [05:43] 2.6.18-3-k7 != 2.6.18-4-k7 [05:44] according to http://packages.debian.org/stable/source/linux-2.6, you must use linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7 [05:44] right... that's what i have [05:44] in other words, you need to use linux-headers-$(uname -r) [05:44] you have linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7 installed? [05:45] you should use /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build , then [05:45] ok [05:45] one second... i'll try it [05:45] lol [05:45] it should be a symlink to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7 anyhow [05:46] what does that mean exactly? do i need to set up a symlink? [05:48] no [05:48] installing said package does it for you. [05:49] when i type manually in: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7/include ---it says the directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (2.6.18-4-k7). even if the module [05:49] were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel [05:50] how to use rtorrent? [05:50] why are you using /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7/include? [05:50] why don't you use /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build ? [05:51] maybe i'm just retarded... but do you mean type that in exactly? or replace build with something else?

[07:40] You want a shortcut in the applications menu? [07:41] the add/remove applications program like the synaptic one, but not named that [07:42] when i use add remove apps to add programs, they dont always make a shortcut, do they all go to the same folder /usr/share/app-install? and yes how can i get them to appear under applications as a shortcut [07:43] as they dont make a shortcut, im not sure were they are, unless they are going to that same folder [07:43] most things go in /usr/bin [07:43] you can find an application by the cmd 'type app_name' [07:44] ie: rob@silver:~$ type bchunk [07:44] bchunk is /usr/bin/bchunk [07:44] assumes i can remeber the name :) [07:44] if you right-click on the applications menu button you can 'edit menu' [07:45] well you're going to need to know the name to make a shortcut :) [07:45] I'm not to clear on how to edit the application menu though, I find it much easier to make launchers [07:46] thats why i was hoping they went to same folder so i coudl find them lol [07:47] look in /usr/bin [07:47] lots of stuff there though [07:47] abunch end up in app-install, ill look in usr/bin [07:48] actual its /usr/share/app-install/desktop most seem to be going too [07:48] ive download a bunch of samba tools and cant remember all their names ugg [07:51] ruks - i just spent some time getting my wirless working, does the wireless adaptor show in the network control under system? [07:52] Chikubu: try apropos samba [07:52] or man samba [07:52] which lists a lot of associated programs, which you can then man :) [07:53] k [07:53] they go to /usr/share/applications or ~./local/share/applications === Will^Draven [n=willdrav@cpe-066-026-043-000.nc.res.rr.com] has joined #xubuntu [07:54] the apropos helped what is that coommand?

[07:57] updating fontconfig-cahce errors [07:57] tonilpizza: but what do they say exactly? [07:57] tonilpizza: maybe you're out of you disk space in your root partition? [07:57] it tries to update each one and each one fails [07:58] imposible, i've 15Gb [07:59] faild to write cache [07:59] I've just reinstalled Windows XP (and hence, GRUB, too), but now after reconfiguring GRUB as I had the last time I reinstalled XP (i.e, the day before yesterday), loading Windows loads GRUB stage 2 and sends me back to the GRUB OS selection menu. I can load Xubuntu just fine. What could've changed? [07:59] ttf-opensymbol was the cause..i installed openoffice.. [07:59] it tries to regenerate font cache [08:00] Grey_Loki: what is your menu.lst entry for windows? [08:00] but keep failing.. [08:00] tonilpizza: try 'sudo fc-cache -frv' [08:00] TheSheep, shall I pastebin my entire menu.lst for you to peruse? [08:01] Grey_Loki: yes, please [08:01] TheSheep, many failed to write cache [08:01] but some does go [08:01] TheSheep, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25424/ [08:02] tonilpizza: can you pastebin part of the output? [08:02] TheSheep, how can i copy and paste [08:02] /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1: failed to write cache [08:02] example [08:02] TheSheep, that configuration (as far as I can tell, anyway) worked fine a few days ago, and I haven't made any major system changes since. 'df -l' shows sda1 as (hd0,0), and sda2 (windows) as what should be (hd0,1). [08:03] fc-cache: failed [08:03] last message [08:03] Grey_Loki: you have your windows installed on hda2 ? [08:03] Grey_Loki: ah, ok [08:03] :) [08:03] Would you like the output of df -l to confirm? [08:04] Grey_Loki: is that sda2 a primary partition? [08:04] ok, it is, soryr [08:04] I don't think today === IndyGunFreak [n=IndyGunF@user-0cdv00n.cable.mindspring.com] has joined #xubuntu [08:04] TheSheep, I don't know - how can I check? === IndyGunFreak [n=IndyGunF@user-0cdv00n.cable.mindspring.com] has left #xubuntu ["Leaving"] [08:05] Grey_Loki: partitions 1-4 are primary :) [08:05] ne1 know about Xvnc? === Zambezi [i=Hideit@bnc.from.tx-shells.com] has joined #xubuntu [08:05] Chikubu: what about it? [08:05] Haha, ok then [08:06] cant connect, says connection refused, not sure where the log jam is [08:06] TheSheep, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25425/ [08:07] tonilpizza: you skipped the most interesting part :) [08:08] tonilpizza: do these directories mentioned in 'failed to write cache' exist? [08:08] i don't know [08:08] but i know that dpkg fails so that i cant configure openoffice [08:08] tonilpizza: can you check if these directories exist? [08:09] let me give a look [08:09] in config files is the format usualy something=something or something = something as in protocol=tcp or protocol = tcp? [08:09] or does it ignore spaces [08:10] Chikubu: not sure how xvnx does it, but traditionally spaces are ignored [08:10] ty [08:11] TheSheep, any thoughts on what I could be missing? [08:12] TheSheep, do u know why with the new kernel xubuntu panel doesnt open? [08:12] TheSheep, the dir exists [08:12] ugg i wonder if its the firewall [08:12] i dunno why can't write then === nalioth__ [i=nalioth@freenode/staff/ubuntu.member.nalioth] has joined #xubuntu [08:13] I see in several guides that usually to resolve this sort of problem with grub, you run 'sudo grub' then 'root (hd0,0)' followed by 'setup (hd0). This worked last time, but now grub seems to launch itself again when selecting WinXP. [08:13] Installazione di un pacchetto fallita. Tentativo di ripristino: [08:13] Configuro ttf-opensymbol (2.2.0-1ubuntu3) ... [08:13] Updating fontconfig cache... [08:13] /usr/share/fonts: failed to write cache [08:13] and so on [08:14] all those dir are there and available [08:16] tonilpizza, are you doing this as root, or a normal user? [08:16] as sudo [08:16] anyone had any problems with lockups? Had one last night - complete keyboard/mouse/network shutout. [08:17] Grey_Loki: it looks correct, maybe the problem is with windows? [08:17] had to hard reboot (power off button) [08:17] tonilpizza: what does 'df' say? [08:17] darrend: they sometimes happen due to hardware failures or bugs in hardware drivers [08:17] but the apps appeared to keep running ok.. clocks and timers were updating normally, screensaver kicked in after 5 mins. [08:18] that i am using 23% of the total space [08:18] darrend: especially if you use the binary drivers, like nvidia [08:18] TheSheep: mm.. I suspected the network module, but wondered why it would lock mouse/keyboard too [08:18] I do use nvidia [08:18] TheSheep, im using 23% of / [08:18] in which case, why the network too [08:18] seemed odd.. [08:18] TheSheep, I booted into windows fine after the initial setup, but since then i haven't been able to reach it to test. Would you say a(nother) reinstall would be worth a try? [08:19] darrend: can you try to do 'touch /tmp/somefile' ? [08:19] what now? after I rebooted? [08:19] darrend: sorry, it was for tonilpizza [08:19] i have an old ati tv turner card in here, heard of any tuner apps for such a thing? [08:19] tonilpizza: can you try to do 'touch /tmp/somefile' ?

[08:23] tonilpizza: save the output of fc-cache to a file by adding '> /tmp/direcotries.txt' at the end [08:23] tonilpizza: then edit that list [08:24] tonilpizza: so that it only contains the paths [08:24] tonilpizza: pipe the errors into a file and then edit the list adding touch at the beginning of the path [08:24] then run the script [08:24] TheSheep is on top of things :) [08:24] tonilpizza: then do 'sudo touch $(cat /tmp/directories.txt) ' [08:25] TheSheep, im trying to [08:25] tonilpizza: the problem is that for some reason these directories have their last modification date in the future [08:25] <3 linux scripting of boring tasks [08:26] TheSheep, the big problem, is that i have to edit each line by hand [08:26] and this is gonna take forever [08:26] tonilpizza: ok, let me see [08:27] tonilpizza: I don't know what your directories.txt looks like but you might be able to do a big find/replace [08:27] tonilpizza: genereate that file, and then do 'sudo sed -i -e 's/:.*$//g' [08:27] tonilpizza: that should do it [08:28] <3 sed [08:28] man sed [08:28] Erm...wrong window === Grey_Loki headdesks [08:28] !man sed [08:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about man sed - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi [08:28] although I can't come up with the commands that fast :) [08:28] bleh :) [08:28] ok thank TheSheep [08:29] tonilpizza: ah, sorry [08:29] tonilpizza: you need to addtthe /tmp/directories.txt at the ed of that sed command :) [08:29] i did and i got only this: > [08:30] sudo sed -i -e 's/:.*$//g' /tmp/directories.txt [08:30] tonilpizza: I'm sorry, I didn't close the quote [08:31] TheSheep, thanks but the commnd does nothing [08:31] tonilpizza: look into the file now [08:31] i did, is like before..
