jimdandy | hello there | 03:06 |
Jester45 | hi | 03:06 |
jimdandy | could someone please help me with an ipod mounting issue? | 03:07 |
Jester45 | i could try | 03:07 |
jimdandy | well i have a fat32 ipod 80G, the system used to mount it at /media/IPOD but now it mounts at /media/IPOD_ | 03:08 |
Jester45 | somthing is most likly mounted at /media/IPOD | 03:09 |
Jester45 | or the system thinks so | 03:09 |
Jester45 | try running "umount /media/IPOD" | 03:09 |
=== jtg23 [n=jtzl@65-101-135-186.tukw.qwest.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
Jester45 | you need to be root or run with sudo | 03:09 |
jimdandy | umount: /media/IPOD: not mounted | 03:10 |
jimdandy | i don't know if it is a permissions issue, I can read from the /media/IPOD_ directory (eg. `$ ls /media/IPOD_`) but not /media/IPOD | 03:11 |
=== Laibsc1 [n=Laibsch@212.17.244.245] has joined #xubuntu | ||
Jester45 | by default you can read anything on your drive | 03:13 |
Jester45 | jimdandy, try being root when you use ls | 03:13 |
jimdandy | the folder is empty, but I wonder if changing the permissions means my ipod can't automount there anymore? | 03:15 |
TheSheep | man pmount | 03:16 |
jimdandy | i don't have a man entry for pmount | 03:17 |
TheSheep | :/ | 03:17 |
TheSheep | jimdandy: funny, it seems that ubuntu doesn't use pmount anymore | 03:18 |
TheSheep | jimdandy: kindly disregard my hint then | 03:18 |
jtg23 | hey has anyone gotten the linksys 54 wifi card working without using the windows driver wrapper? | 03:19 |
jimdandy | thanks, thesheep. btw, the permissions are shown as the same by `ls -l` : drwx------ 2 root root 48 2007-06-14 09:16 IPOD | 03:19 |
jtg23 | i thought i had found a tutorial on the google but it was not that | 03:19 |
jimdandy | jtg23, have you used 'lspci' to detect your exact wireless chipset? if it is shown (eg. Linksys WMP54G) then google the model number and "linux" and you'll find something. | 03:27 |
jtg23 | am i better off just getting a diff card? | 03:28 |
jtg23 | i mean if i can pick upa cheap wifi card that'd be just as well | 03:28 |
jimdandy | maybe not, what card do you have? | 03:28 |
jtg23 | something turnkey | 03:28 |
jtg23 | i have a wpm54g | 03:28 |
jtg23 | and this old gateway 450 | 03:28 |
jtg23 | but i'm borring the card from another pc so i could use a new wifi card if there's one that works particularly well with xubuntu | 03:29 |
j1mc | TheSheep: do you have a moment? can we chat in xubuntu-devel? | 03:29 |
jtg23 | borring = borrowing; apparently i type southern | 03:31 |
jimdandy | unfortunately i can't recommend a wireless card. i don't know what linuxant is, but here is a link someone got your card working: http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/28.html | 03:31 |
j1mc | jtg23: i had a good experience with a netgear card. | 03:31 |
j1mc | jtg23: i've been told to look for cards with an atheros chipset. | 03:32 |
j1mc | if that helps you any... | 03:32 |
jtg23 | j1mc: thanks | 03:32 |
j1mc | jtg23: also, which version of xubuntu are you using? | 03:32 |
jtg23 | are ubuntu and xubuntu the same drivers-wise? | 03:32 |
jtg23 | 6.06 lts | 03:32 |
jtg23 | i had one that worked out of the box with ubuntu but i gave it to a hot chick, like a foold | 03:32 |
jtg23 | -d | 03:32 |
j1mc | jtg23: ok. i know that feisty fawn features better wifi driver support. you may want to consider upgrading. | 03:33 |
jtg23 | let this be a lesson! | 03:33 |
j1mc | heh... :) | 03:33 |
jtg23 | ok i'll d/l the new version and reinstall before i change out cards and i'll also check out atheros-based cards | 03:33 |
jtg23 | i *really* don't want to use that win-wrapper; that's totally bogus | 03:33 |
j1mc | jtg23: do you have a separate /home partition? | 03:34 |
jtg23 | i'm not sure | 03:35 |
jtg23 | should i? | 03:35 |
j1mc | ummm... hold on... | 03:35 |
jimdandy | jtg23, are you running feisty fawn? | 03:38 |
j1mc | jtg23: please type "mount | grep home" | 03:38 |
j1mc | and let me know what comes up | 03:38 |
jtg23 | k let me boot | 03:38 |
jtg23 | i'm on a mac ;) | 03:38 |
j1mc | you have to reboot? :) | 03:38 |
j1mc | ah, ok. | 03:38 |
jimdandy | someone seemed to get their networking fixed easily with feisty fawn and this card. the solution was posted here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=548384 | 03:40 |
j1mc | thanks for checking that out, jimdandy | 03:40 |
jimdandy | goodnight all, no problem j1mc. | 03:41 |
j1mc | good night! | 03:41 |

j1mc | jtg23: did you try that command yet? | 03:47 |
jtg23 | yeah, no result | 03:48 |
jtg23 | so i guess not | 03:48 |
j1mc | ok... that just means that your /home folder isn't on a separate partition. | 03:48 |
j1mc | in the future, i'd recommend putting your /home folder on a separate partition so that you can... | 03:49 |
Chikubu | hey im working on getting an old sound card working, isa sb16 pnp, i get conflicting info, not sure were to apply my efforts | 03:49 |
j1mc | reinstall the OS without having to restore all of your data and settings | 03:49 |
Chikubu | dmesg says one thing, modprobe another | 03:49 |
jtg23 | ok i see, well, i will do that now when i put on 7.04 | 03:50 |
jtg23 | hey how do i see which version of linux i'm running? | 03:50 |
jtg23 | what's the comman | 03:50 |
jtg23 | d | 03:50 |
j1mc | jtg23: well, you can tell what kernel version you're running, as well as some other information about your system, by typing... | 03:51 |
j1mc | uname -a | 03:51 |
jtg23 | hm i can't see lik e "ubuntu 6.06" or whatever? | 03:52 |
j1mc | there's got to be a way to do that, but i don't recall right now. :( hehe | 03:52 |
Jester45 | tell us what uname -r says | 03:53 |
jtg23 | 2.6.16-26-386 | 03:54 |
Jester45 | i belive that is drapper but let me cvheck | 03:54 |
Pumpernickel | /etc/release has the distribution release information. | 03:54 |
Jester45 | check* | 03:54 |
j1mc | cat /etc/release | 03:55 |
=== j1mc thought he was typing that into a command line. . . | ||
j1mc | not irc... | 03:55 |
jtg23 | cat /proc/version | 03:55 |
Jester45 | its edgy | 03:56 |
jtg23 | cat / etc/issue | 03:57 |
j1mc | yeah... cat /etc/issue does it for me. it doesn't give me the name, but gives me the version. | 03:58 |
Jester45 | eerrr maybe not i thinks its an upgraded drapper kernel | 03:58 |
j1mc | ... we could just check the /etc/apt/sources.list file. :) | 03:58 |
Jester45 | but thats not fun | 03:59 |
j1mc | jtg23: what does - cat /etc/issue give you? | 03:59 |
jtg23 | just release info | 03:59 |
j1mc | Jester45: i agree. :) | 03:59 |
j1mc | jtg23: what does it _say_ when you enter it. :) | 03:59 |
jtg23 | cat /proc/version has the kernel info and with cat/etc/issue that's all i kneed to know | 03:59 |
Jester45 | whats the current state of gusty? | 03:59 |
jtg23 | it says "stop typing on me and put on 7.04" | 03:59 |
j1mc | Jester45: current state? | 04:00 |
j1mc | s/gusty/gutsy :) | 04:00 |
jtg23 | do i want desktop or alternate for a laptop | 04:00 |
Jester45 | umm, what is it at alpha or herd | 04:00 |
j1mc | jtg23: how familiar are you with linux? | 04:00 |
jtg23 | um, well, pretty well for my needs | 04:01 |
j1mc | Jester45: we're between Tribe 1 and Tribe 2 for Gutsy right now . . . | 04:01 |
jtg23 | but i use it only remotely;i run macs at home | 04:01 |
Jester45 | k | 04:01 |
j1mc | Tribe == alpha | 04:01 |
jtg23 | but i want to know more, so much more | 04:01 |
jtg23 | the coolest thing i know is strace -ewrite -ppid for watching my crons | 04:01 |
j1mc | jtg23: you should be ok with the alternate install version then. | 04:01 |
j1mc | i typically recommend the alternate installer unless you know that you need the live session for some reason. | 04:02 |
Jester45 | the coolest thing i know is running 4 xservers :) | 04:02 |
j1mc | the alternate moves a little faster . . . | 04:02 |
j1mc | Jester45: how do you do that? | 04:02 |
jtg23 | oh i gotcha, thanks for the tip..i can survive a command line install | 04:03 |
Jester45 | i think it moves faster only only becuase its not running a full desktop along with it but your not distracted by anything | 04:03 |
Jester45 | its not really a cli install that much | 04:03 |
Jester45 | its has menus and color | 04:03 |
Jester45 | not what a lot of people would think would you say cli | 04:03 |
j1mc | jtg23: yeah, it's not command line . . . just a basic xcurses interface - pretty spartan, but still graphical. | 04:03 |
j1mc | s/xcurses/ncurses | 04:04 |
Jester45 | j1mc, you can start extra xservers and put them on extra F# buttons | 04:04 |
j1mc | Jester45: do you do that for any special reason? | 04:04 |
jtg23 | to brag on irc | 04:04 |
jtg23 | i'd do it too | 04:04 |
jtg23 | that's pretty sweet, wait till you get spaces | 04:04 |
j1mc | ok... sorry, guys . . . i've got to run. have a good day, evening, morning . . . depending on where you are. :) | 04:05 |
j1mc | take care. | 04:05 |
jtg23 | k, thx for teh tips | 04:05 |
Jester45 | and... when you need to get really fancy you have special configs for each so each can run 2 on card 1 and 2 on card #2 | 04:05 |
j1mc | ttyl | 04:05 |
Jester45 | i have 2 video card and i use both of them but one isnt beryl matterial so i have a moniter with beryl and a non beryl moniter | 04:06 |
Jester45 | and whats really cool is that each new xserver you start you can have a diffrent xfce stuff like if i have my dfault xfce settings the new xserver can have a diffrent one so i can have really small panels but they dont have the same cpu meter on them | 04:07 |
jtg23 | are we not talking about macs? | 04:12 |
jtg23 | xservs? | 04:12 |
jtg23 | heh | 04:12 |
Jester45 | an xserver is what runs your gui on linux | 04:14 |
jtg23 | right | 04:16 |
jtg23 | you mean having 4 desktops? | 04:16 |

Jester45 | you have to use the aglrx driver to get 3d support | 05:07 |
zephid | logmein: It should work out-of-box, but if you want dri, you most install the restricted drivers from ati | 05:11 |
logmein | zephid: yeah ati drivers haven't worked so far from my experience... | 05:12 |
logmein | perhaps just older cards I've tried | 05:12 |
logmein | Jester45: aglrx yeah will check into that thx | 05:12 |
Jester45 | logmein, thats if you want it acellerated, once he installs and boots he can run the restricted drivers manager to install it | 05:13 |

zephid | a* | 05:13 |
logmein | zephid: kool, I got radeon 9600 in one comp about to install xubuntu to | 05:14 |
Jester45 | can live cds be made to work like a harddrive? re writeable cd acourse | 05:15 |
logmein | I highly doubt it | 05:15 |
zephid | Jester45: Nope | 05:15 |
logmein | try using a usb stick for that instead | 05:15 |
somerville32 | Hiya Jester45 | 05:15 |
Jester45 | how about a dvd, can they be partitioned? | 05:15 |
zephid | It's techical impossible, use USB sticks as logmein suggested | 05:15 |
logmein | yeah if you use ext3 writeback file system on usb and export most your configurations to floppy its not too bad for mobile setup | 05:16 |
logmein | its like a flash drive orgy up on my computer so many blinky lights.... | 05:17 |
=== logmein stares at the pretty lights | ||
logmein | oh and yes a dvd can be partitioned | 05:18 |
logmein | like if you want to hide an encrypted sector for some of your private goodies | 05:19 |
Jester45 | but you can write to it from the same disc | 05:19 |
logmein | huh? | 05:19 |
Jester45 | no im more wanting to beable to run a livecd and save stuff to it also | 05:20 |
logmein | Jester45: sorry my brain little fried, mom doing photo archives on windows most the day.. I so miss umount command :( | 05:20 |
Jester45 | so that is not just whats in the iso but what i install/download/upgrade while using it | 05:20 |
logmein | Jester45: umm if you have enough ram then do toram option and burn on a separate disc | 05:21 |
logmein | unless you do have multiple drives | 05:21 |
Jester45 | i do | 05:21 |
somerville32 | Jester45: You can't do what you're asking | 05:21 |
Jester45 | ok | 05:21 |
logmein | then what is the problem? | 05:21 |
somerville32 | You can use a usb driver for that but not a CD | 05:21 |
Jester45 | i just thought of how cool it would be to have my customised copy | 05:21 |
somerville32 | You can do that | 05:22 |
logmein | if its rewritable then yes you could do what your saying perhaps but you would have to not be using the live cd | 05:22 |
somerville32 | It is called remastering | 05:22 |
logmein | and would most likely screw up the image | 05:22 |
Jester45 | i know that but i still have only the stuff on the iso | 05:22 |
somerville32 | Jester45: Get a usb thumb drive | 05:22 |
Jester45 | i got one | 05:22 |
somerville32 | Then use that :P | 05:22 |
Jester45 | but im wanting to use it at other computers | 05:23 |
logmein | Jester45: and thumb it all night long babe wheeee :P | 05:23 |
Jester45 | and only a few of them boot usb | 05:23 |
logmein | but they do have usb though | 05:23 |
logmein | get a floppy to load the needed usb drivers | 05:23 |
logmein | or cd | 05:23 |
Jester45 | no floppy drives | 05:24 |
logmein | cd? | 05:24 |
Jester45 | nor cd drives | 05:24 |
logmein | ethernet? | 05:24 |

ruks | i installed frostwire on ubuntu feisty fawn,but when i go to launch it it says this | 05:27 |
ruks | OOPS, your java version is too old [java = 1.4.2-02] | 05:27 |
ruks | You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer from http://www.java.com | 05:27 |

ruks | so how do i update to what i need | 05:28 |

Jester45 | ruks, did you uninstall version 4? | 05:28 |
logmein | yeah that might be a problem too | 05:28 |
ruks | no, i thought when i installed the new one it was kinda like an upgrade | 05:28 |
ruks | let me try the uninstall | 05:29 |
Jester45 | i dont think so, try uninstalling java1.4 | 05:29 |
somerville32 | ruks: What happens is that all those versions want to use the same "name" for this commands. | 05:29 |
somerville32 | What happens is that a program manages possible alternatives for the name. | 05:29 |
somerville32 | update-alternatives --config java | 05:30 |

bun-bun | hi, i'm using xubuntu 7.04, and i managed to lose the bars at the top and bottom of my screen. as such, i can't access the configuration menu anymore-- can someone tell me the name of the app? | 11:30 |
bun-bun | the app to change themes etc i mean | 11:30 |
Amon-san | xfce4-panel if i remember correctly | 11:31 |
Amon-san | (for the bars) | 11:32 |
bun-bun | thanks Amon-san , that worked. | 11:33 |
Amon-san | you're welcome | 11:33 |
bun-bun | i have one issue that i can't figure out | 11:33 |
Amon-san | i had the same problem | 11:33 |
bun-bun | i'm using xubuntu on my old laptop, and using the touchpad sometimes produces some weird results | 11:33 |
Amon-san | like what? | 11:34 |
bun-bun | like it would change workspaces | 11:34 |
bun-bun | or scroll the current window up and down | 11:34 |
Amon-san | oh i have that on my laptop too. i'm puzzled what the caus eis tho | 11:34 |
bun-bun | it's why i started messing with the themes and such | 11:34 |
bun-bun | how do you work around it? | 11:34 |
Amon-san | use an external usb mouse | 11:34 |
bun-bun | for now i've killed all but one workspace to get around the workspace problem | 11:34 |
Amon-san | window scrolling when you just want wo move the cursor? | 11:34 |
bun-bun | yes | 11:35 |
Amon-san | same happens here | 11:35 |
Amon-san | must be the touchpad support that is buggy | 11:35 |
bun-bun | i'm thinking it's probably a "feature" rather than a bug | 11:35 |
Amon-san | hmm | 11:35 |
bun-bun | in which case we should be able to disable it somehow... i'm gonna pore over the x config | 11:36 |
Amon-san | maybe it's like that generic middleclick that lets you scroll in windows | 11:36 |
Amon-san | (MS OS) | 11:36 |
Amon-san | i'm not so much into digging deep in the config files | 11:36 |
bun-bun | in Settings - Window Manager Tweaks - Workspaces i see a checkbox for "Switch workspaces using the mouse wheel over the desktop" option | 11:37 |
bun-bun | gonna disable that | 11:38 |
Amon-san | is there a scroll by mouse movement thingie? | 11:38 |
bun-bun | i'm still poking around | 11:38 |
darrend | bun-bun: it's a feature called "mouse gestures" | 11:48 |
darrend | usually dedicated to the margins of your touchpad. | 11:48 |
bun-bun | that's the term i was looking for-- how can i disable it? | 11:48 |
=== PriceChild [n=pricechi@ubuntu/member/pricechild] has joined #xubuntu | ||

bun-bun | i couldn't tell you offhand | 11:49 |
bun-bun | let me look.. it's an old hp omnibook xe2 | 11:49 |
darrend | bun-bun: what's in your xorg.conf as the driver in the "InputDevice" sections? | 11:51 |
darrend | that will tell you | 11:51 |
darrend | there are some options here to control the touchpad that may or may not work: | 11:52 |
darrend | http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Synaptics_Touchpad#Edit_xorg.conf | 11:52 |
bun-bun | looks like it's using ImPS/2 | 11:56 |
bun-bun | i take that back, it must be detecting as synaptics | 11:57 |

topcat1027 | actually i'm using konsole, but that shouldn't make a difference, right? | 03:39 |

servaas-xubuntu- | hoi | 08:51 |
gerro | feliciano: actually the .trash-1000 I think is created by a windows computer | 08:52 |
feliciano | gerro... I dont think that... I got this when I try to delete files | 08:52 |
gerro | feliciano: well usually I delete the files then remove them from trash and unmount the drive | 08:53 |
gerro | when you remount it won't have those files | 08:53 |
feliciano | Let me see | 08:53 |
servaas-xubuntu- | de number 1000 is the user id ? | 08:55 |
feliciano | gerro in properties I see 118 Mb free space... and the USB pendrive is 1 Gb... | 08:55 |
servaas-xubuntu- | also deleted files on a pendrive and xfce ? placed a .trash-1000 on my stick with all the files in it some protection i think | 08:57 |
feliciano | servaas-xubuntu- same problem here | 08:58 |
gerro | yeah usually systems don't delete files permanently just mark them to be overwrited | 08:58 |
gerro | but that shouldn't be factored into your free space | 08:58 |
servaas-xubuntu- | it is a protection thing in xfce | 08:58 |
servaas-xubuntu- | if i remember it right i did a sudo rm or something or emptied the trash | 08:59 |
zials | mhmm, well, I just cut/paste the .trash1000 folder into my trash | 09:00 |
servaas-xubuntu- | and then it was gone | 09:00 |
gerro | emptying your recycle bin thing probably would delete the .trash file on your usb I suppose | 09:00 |
servaas-xubuntu- | and if you remove de .trash you get a new .trash in a .trash and so on | 09:01 |
feliciano | zials... cut and paste work?? get you all free space?? | 09:01 |
zials | yup... | 09:01 |
zials | or, I think it did... | 09:02 |
zials | give it a shot, its only trash ;) | 09:02 |

rijo | Ive just installed xubuntu on my workstation, but the fps for my screen are so sucky, and i cannot choose higher fps in settings for the screen res.. how can i change the fps and is there any tool/driver i need to get better peformance? | 09:23 |
predaeus_ | rijo, what gfx card? | 09:26 |
rijo | predaeus_: geforce4 ti | 09:27 |
rijo | ive installed the restricted drivers for nvidia | 09:27 |
maxamillion | rijo: did you configure X after you installed them or just install them? | 09:28 |
rijo | maxamillion: i jsut installed em, whats the command to reconfigure x? | 09:28 |
predaeus_ | also I think you need the legacy restricted drivers | 09:28 |
maxamillion | rijo: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and tell it to use the driver called "nvidia" instead of "nv" or "vesa" (which is what i assume is being used now) | 09:29 |
maxamillion | rijo: then when you restart X, there should be a nvidia logo that shows right before you see the login window | 09:29 |
rijo | maxamillion: according to xorg.conf the driver atm is "nvidia" | 09:30 |
maxamillion | rijo: interesting | 09:30 |
maxamillion | rijo: when you boot your computer, do you see a nvidia logo before the login screen? | 09:30 |
Lectus | predaeus_, I installed easycam2 from that instructions, but when I type lauchcam2 it says: ImportError: No module named gnome.ui | 09:31 |
rijo | maxamillion: nop, but i see in xorg.conf that NoLogo option is "Trur" so that aint strange :P | 09:31 |
Lectus | and doesn't start the .py file | 09:31 |
rijo | true* | 09:31 |
maxamillion | rijo: ah, ok | 09:31 |
maxamillion | rijo: i like seeing the logo so i know nothing get messed up (sometimes updates/upgrades mess with your config files) | 09:31 |
predaeus_ | Lectus, oh no, looks like they based that on gnome things. Looks like you need to install some gnome python libs for that to work | 09:32 |
Lectus | what libs? | 09:32 |
rijo | maxamillion: under section monitor it just say "standard screen" and no identifyer | 09:32 |
predaeus_ | Lectus, I don't know, the one that holds gnome.ui.py or whatever (not sure how python is made up) | 09:33 |
predaeus_ | Lectus, use apt-file to search what package is providing this | 09:33 |
predaeus_ | Lectus, or http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 09:33 |
maxamillion | rijo: that's fine ... it generally just gives that some random name | 09:33 |

hyper_ch | kilonux: well, I don't know it | 10:49 |
servaas-xubuntu1 | how do i set router to dhcp ? is that a hardware button/switch or is it a software setting and where is it ? | 10:50 |
hyper_ch | servaas-xubuntu1: normally a software setting | 10:50 |
kilonux | servaas I should not try to answer .... but I think hyper is correct | 10:51 |

servaas-xubuntu1 | ok and where is it ? is it in the menu-system-network program ? | 10:52 |
hyper_ch | kilonux: when write names, use the "tab" button to complete the names... that way the people will be highlighted and they know they are directly spoken to | 10:52 |
hyper_ch | servaas-xubuntu1: for the router it's in the router config.... for the computer it's either in a file config - if you want to edit config files - or in the network settings | 10:52 |
kilonux | hyper_ch: thanks | 10:53 |
servaas-xubuntu1 | where can i find router config | 10:53 |
servaas-xubuntu1 | in /etc/router.conf ? | 10:54 |
hyper_ch | servaas-xubuntu1: depends on the router | 10:54 |
hyper_ch | normally you enter the router IP in a browser | 10:54 |
hyper_ch | servaas-xubuntu1: maybe you need to use a special port | 10:54 |

servaas-xubuntu1 | kilonux readed that ? enter the ip of the router in the browser and set router to dhcp | 10:55 |
kilonux | read that | 10:56 |
hyper_ch | kilonux: well, read the user manual that you got with your router... it should say in there | 10:56 |
hyper_ch | kilonux: but by default dhcp is enabled on a router I tend to think | 10:57 |
servaas-xubuntu1 | now we are rolling | 10:57 |
