[12:52] TaJMoX: in settings->window manager tweaks->compositor [12:53] oh fglrx doesnt do composites...sigh [12:53] TaJMoX: you can't do that with xfce panel [12:53] TaJMoX: the iocns will be transparent too [12:53] TaJMoX: that's a horse of a different color === jtg23_ [n=jtzl@71-35-98-106.tukw.qwest.net] has joined #xubuntu [12:53] I can only use fglrx with my vid card, not ati or radeon driver === vidd [n=vidd@static-72-86-135-236.phlapa.east.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu [12:53] has anyone seen any repos for xfce 4.4.1? [12:53] R[a] ndom: gutsy === neozen ponders which dock can do that...... [12:53] ? [12:53] I know there is one [12:53] that a repo? [12:53] neozen - gdesklets [12:53] R[a] ndom: that's feisty+1 [12:53] lol... yeah... that's it [12:54] oh, I don't want that [12:54] !gutsy | R[a] ndom [12:54] R[a] ndom: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10). See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000276.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule - Roadmap and specifications: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy - Support in #ubuntu+1 [12:54] or can I use gusty repo just for that [12:54] also adesklets and superkaramba have non-composite docks [12:54] R[a] ndom: it will probably pull in some dependencies [12:54] yeah, that's fine [12:54] I just need to fix this memory leak [12:54] TaJMoX: buy a mac ;) [12:54] xfdesktop is taking a gig of ram [12:55] thesheep the hardware is too expencive. I can get a twice as powerful PC for the price of a good mac [12:55] TaJMoX: I've seen the gnome people fake transparency by setting the same image for the panel as for the background [12:55] thesheep - yes but im in xfce...can i use gnome panel? [12:55] TaJMoX: you could in theory do the same for xfce with a gtk theme, but don't ask me how [12:55] I have tried using a gtk theme... [12:55] TaJMoX: ah, yes, you can use the gnome panel too, of course [12:56] TaJMoX: it will be a little slower, but why not [12:56] thesheep - cool that fixed it thanks =] [12:56] yeah its slow =\ [12:57] I'd say you're running with fashion too much ;) [12:57] R[a] ndom, a gig of ram??? you SURE its the desktop sucking up the resourses? [12:57] heh you should see my beryl user... full on shiny customization bling bling [12:57] ok, I exagerated, but yeah, its usage is pretty high [12:58] TaJMoX: and you only log in to it when guests come? [12:58] r[a] ndom how much of that is cache? [12:58] tell me the command you want the output of [12:58] thesheep yeah its the guest user account ... this xfce is my minimal account, but still want the transparent panel [12:58] i think im gonna switch back to xfce4-panel, i dont really need the transparency [12:59] TaJMoX: it's not worth it imho :) [12:59] TaJMoX: you still cannot use that space for anything else, icons would obscure your command line [12:59] it's an auto-hiding panel anyways just for launching apps [01:00] it just looks nicer when icons pop up instead of a whole clunky bar [01:00] or if i could set a background image, that would be really nice [01:00] so which repos do I need to change to gutsy to get all the xfce stuff, anyone know off the top of their head? [01:01] r[a] ndom type free and paste [01:01] Mem: 1035944 1022656 13288 0 1980 154312 [01:01] 154 cache that would be [01:01] R[a] ndom: main [01:01] kkthx [01:01] R[a] ndom: bear in mind it's still experimental === totalwormage [n=worm@flits102-83.flits.rug.nl] has joined #xubuntu [01:02] gutsy is, but xfce 4.4.1 isnt [01:02] and thats all I'll upgrade [01:02] totalwormage you play W:A ? [01:02] I read the changelog, and they fixed this memory leak [01:02] R[a] ndom: xfce 4.4.1 in gutsy is :) [01:02] or, a memory leak that is [01:02] oh I see [01:02] I didnt know the xubuntu guys changed it [01:02] R[a] ndom: distribution is stable/unstable as a whole, you can have an unstable distro with all stable packages [01:03] R[a] ndom: because they interact [01:03] so any chance of me undoing this if it fails? [01:03] Ive never had downgrading work [01:03] R[a] ndom: neither me, I wouldn't even know where to start [01:03] I tried once, and ended up reinstalling [01:04] ah well, if it breaks, then I finally ditch ubuntu ;) [01:04] R[a] ndom: probably not worth it [01:04] R[a] ndom: I once needed a fresh patch fro xfwm4, I just downloaded and compiled it, then replaced the binary on my system [01:05] should I do the whole xubuntu-desktop metapackage? [01:05] as xfce4 didnt pull anything else down with it [01:05] but it was the same version +/- the patch [01:05] R[a] ndom: gaim is replaced with pidgin [01:05] what? [01:05] R[a] ndom: and all programs are replaced with newer versions [01:06] oh I see what youre saying [01:06] so no [01:06] R[a] ndom: so I'd only install xfdesktop [01:06] and it will pull most of xfce with it [01:06] ah. thats the metapackage I wanted [01:06] oh I See [01:06] (and probably also whole gtk and all apps that use gtk) [01:06] r[a] ndom you can get the latest xfce from here http://pkg-xfce.alioth.debian.org/ [01:06] too late :) [01:06] arg [01:06] h === jonaz [n=xpc@BAE9645.bae.pppool.de] has joined #xubuntu [01:15] ola :) [01:16] i try to play a dvd, which is (according to kaffeine) 'encrypted or faulty'. then i tried to install libdecss, but its not available [01:17] so what can i do else?

[09:05] mostly usb ones work I've been told [09:05] well i dont know of any webcams with good picture quality, but most [hilips and logitech ones should work with v4l [09:05] *philips [09:05] but I got this crappy uvcvideo driver one for my lappy and it usually just displays white screen and blinks light then crashes [09:06] yeah v4l ones are really nice I've seen [09:06] what about webcam with some sort of motion sensor that would be sweet :) === zenrox [i=zenrox@pool-71-115-210-186.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu [09:07] well atleast you can do it with software (the motion detection) [09:08] yeah I could easily set that up I guess [09:08] would help incase I left laptop webcam going and left room by mistake [09:08] save power and all === soweto76 [n=jack@d226-43-189.home.cgocable.net] has joined #xubuntu [09:16] ablomen: what your computers stats?

[09:18] setup that for my one friend whom uses dial up, he loves the speed [09:19] hmm nah never did, should though [09:19] what is this Via company? [09:19] via is just another chipset/hardware company [09:19] first time I heard of it [09:19] I live in the US where you from? [09:20] the netherlands [09:20] ah perhaps they don't sell here [09:20] via is taiwanese or something like that [09:20] acer etc uses it [09:20] oh [09:20] yeah acer they make good stuff don't they [09:21] isn't it mostly portable things? [09:21] yup mostly [09:21] arnt my fav company though [09:21] *isnt [09:21] sorry [09:22] you using amd64 or x86 xubuntu?

[09:30] virtual machine [09:30] oh yeah [09:30] you use kqemu for that? [09:30] nah i use virtualbox on laptop, vmware server on other pc's [09:31] I've been looking for a vm that handles well not over network but locally [09:31] keep hearing that virtualbox mentioned [09:32] I've used qemu in past mostly but bit difficult configuring found out they had this qemu launcher app in ubuntu repository [09:32] vbox is pretty nice, but for "professional" use, id use vmware [09:32] really just looking for something free with nice performance and customization [09:33] 1hmm well vbox is based on qemu === hyper_ch [n=hyper@84-75-93-168.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #xubuntu [09:33] but not free as in speech i think [09:33] not sure [09:33] ablomen: vbox is open source now [09:33] and i don't think it is based off qemu [09:34] damn I have to try that now [09:34] ok cool :) [09:34] yeah its based on qemy [09:34] vbox is a VM, where as qemu is an emulator ... completely different concepts [09:34] *qemu [09:34] how so different [09:34] ? [09:34] i will have to look into that, i would interested to see how they pulled that off .... it might be based off kqemu [09:35] maxamillion, http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Developer_FAQ [09:35] "The QEMU virtual CPU core library is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License." [09:35] gerro: virtualization generally just passes instructions between hardware and software in order to virtually mimic that the software is actually running on the hardware, but emulators actually "act" like hardware, but do so in a completely "fake hardware"-software emulation [09:35] so was vbox based on qemu, it woudl have to be at least lgpl too [09:36] oh ... vbox just borrowed some code from qemu for certain things [09:36] meh ... === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #xubuntu [09:37] qemu itself is GPL, so it's even worse [09:37] ah so virtualization is similar to how ndiswrapper works [09:37] (or better) :) [09:37] like a driver wrapper [09:37] except for entire system [09:37] gerro: or how wine works === ablomen [n=ablomen@unaffiliated/ablomen] has joined #xubuntu [09:37] yeah that too [09:39] TheSheep: be careful who you make comments like that about wine around .... there is that whole "wine is not a windows emulator" movement going on ... they prefer to call it a "windows API translation layer" [09:39] ;) [09:40] maxamillion: that's exactly what I mean [09:41] maxamillion: wine doesn't emulate hardware -- it just provides the libraries and system api that windows program expect, but linux doesn't have by default [09:42] think wine goes step further [09:42] I mean does virtual box interface with all the different kernel drivers? [09:42] maxamillion: by the way, qemu *is* an emulatro by default [09:42] or just the kernel [09:42] maxamillion: it's only if you have kqemu installed and loaded that it pipes some commands directly trhough your cpu [09:45] TheSheep: i know, i said that earlier [09:45] TheSheep: how i didn' [09:45] bleh ... stupd enter key being in my way [09:45] ript it off [09:45] TheSheep: how i didn't see how vbox was based off qemu since qemu is an emulator and vbox a virtualization software [09:49] is kqemu an emulator? [09:49] I guess it still is [09:49] but it does make some improvements [09:49] gerro: kqemu is a kernel module that allows qemu to skip emulation of some commands by executing them directly in hardware === merhojt [n=Jimmy@h116n4c1o885.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #xubuntu [09:55] TheSheep: baaa baaa [09:55] hehe === TheSheep gives gerro a blank stare [09:56] TheSheep: meeeh meee [09:56] that european :) === gerro rolls on floor laughing [09:56] !ot > gerro [09:56] I'm sorry couldn't resist [09:57] what does ot mean?

I wonder what the problem is. [11:05] yeah so I've been told [11:05] its only a matter of spewing the right jibbery commands to their specific firmware that is probably never even heard of in most tech forums [11:07] soweto76: if x crashes then use ctrl alt backspace to restart it or switch to ctrl alt f1 and login then kill the app causing it and ctrl alt f7 to go back to x === miramana [n=suser@85.113.145.171] has left #xubuntu [] [11:08] gerro, the program seems to crash X which immediately restarts and takes me to the loging screen.

[11:09] gerro no [11:10] soweto76: I don't know exactly what to say myself I wish there was more documentation on all the xorg things [11:11] like beryl, those keyboard shortcuts I told you, xgl stuff, and all those hidden commands you enter into xorg.conf as well as how to run programs on separate x sessions and switch between them thats so much more kooler since it truly is a "separate desktop" [11:11] gerro, I am suspecting a qt based problem; however, my daughter runs ubuntu with the same program and does not have the problem. [11:11] qt? [11:12] are you using xubuntu? [11:12] gerro: there are lots of documentation on that [11:12] gerro: start with 'man xorg.conf' [11:12] might want to try a gtk version or perhaps enable kde libraries [11:13] TheSheep: you can use man on other things besides commands!? wow that just blew my mind, thx for that tip [11:13] gerro, mythtv is a qt based program. I am using xubuntu. [11:14] soweto76: well it should be working, so I don't know [11:14] soweto76: hmm perhaps some way to run it from console and pipe its debug messages to a file so you can review them after it crashes [11:15] gerro, Thanks for your consideration. I will try something like what you suggest. [11:15] soweto76: dmesg output anything odd?.. doubt it would think that just handles hardware [11:15] soweto76: my guess is it needs some basic kde libraries that you don't have installed [11:15] soweto76: or an older/newer version of qt === ubuntu [n=ubuntu@201.87.24.83.user.ajato.com.br] has joined #xubuntu [11:17] hi, how change ip and net manually?
