| DaBeowulf | I'm going nuts. I did a new install of Xubuntu Feisty and now I can't run unshield after I installed it the same way I did it twice before this new install. | 01:40 |
| DaBeowulf | And I tried it more than once on this install now, redownloading the packages from other mirrors... | 01:41 |
| DaBeowulf | When I try to run it after installing it I get "bash: /usr/bin/unshield: No such file or directory" although it sits right there O_o | 01:42 |

| Jester45 | try #xubuntu-devel | 03:25 |
| Odd_Bloke | Jester45: Cheers. | 03:26 |
| jtg23 | ubuntu is debian right? | 03:27 |
| Odd_Bloke | jtg23: Ubuntu has a Debian base. | 03:27 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: yes, more or less | 03:28 |
| jtg23 | i can run gpgp on xubuntu then? | 03:28 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: ubuntu started as a snapshot of the debian sid branch, but they now maintain alot of their own code/packages apart from debian versions | 03:28 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: of course | 03:28 |
| jtg23 | and that's compatible with gpg on my mac? | 03:28 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: depends on the version you have on your mac, but yes ... it should be | 03:29 |

| jtg23 | max1M thx, i'm new to the whole using linux on my desktop thing | 03:30 |
| jtg23 | yea, the open source movie | 03:30 |
| maxamillion | never seen it | 03:31 |
| jtg23 | it's uber geeky | 03:31 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: i've been running linux as my only operating system for almost 8 years now | 03:31 |
| jtg23 | but incidnetally not licensed under the gpl | 03:31 |
| jtg23 | then you should definitely watch it, this movie kinda goes back wit hte people from va linux and red hat and back to rms | 03:32 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: back then there weren't movies promoting our open source wonders | 03:32 |
| jtg23 | yeah, i first put red hat on my notebook back in 00 and it was whack | 03:32 |
| jtg23 | so i put win2k back on it and lost my cd drive leaving win2k on that computer until its death but then i went mac | 03:33 |
| jtg23 | and i've been administering linux servers (or gnu/linux servers if i want to be politically correct, apparently) for 6 or so years | 03:33 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: yeah, late 1999 is when i started ... and i actually started with redhat, but then found my way to debian and haven't looked back | 03:33 |
| jtg23 | i'm most familiar with fedora core | 03:33 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: to stay politically correct, fedora core is now just "fedora" ;) | 03:34 |
| jtg23 | but i want to help expand access and interest to young people | 03:34 |
| jtg23 | yeah, but i'm most familiar with fedora core :) | 03:34 |
| jtg23 | so i'm learning ubuntu/xubuntu/debian | 03:34 |
| maxamillion | cool cool | 03:34 |
| jtg23 | plus i just got a job as a debian admin so i need ot get up to speed | 03:34 |

| jtg23 | i'm compiling my kernel right now so as to hopefully get wifi on my airlink card | 03:35 |

| jtg23 | zeroonlinux ethernet? | 03:36 |
| maxamillion | zeroonlinux: lemme get you a link | 03:36 |
| zeroonlinux | it has a network card | 03:36 |
| zeroonlinux | but i can't boot from it | 03:36 |
| zeroonlinux | :( | 03:36 |
| maxamillion | zeroonlinux: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-ubuntukubuntuedubuntuxubuntu-without-cdrom-drive.html | 03:36 |
| maxamillion | zeroonlinux: that tutorial has many options on how to install without a cd-rom | 03:37 |
| maxamillion | zeroonlinux: hope it helps | 03:37 |
| jtg23 | maxamillion i got 6.06 but taht's not a good sign because i had 7.04 on last night and couldn't get the airlink or the linksys (broadcom, tried fwcutter) to work | 03:37 |
| zeroonlinux | maxamillion i heared that xubuntu is also ok for a slow pc? | 03:38 |
| jtg23 | zerronlinux i have it on a 450mhz gateway with 288mb ram and it's pretty good | 03:39 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: hmmm... that's not good at all, especially since ubuntu-base is compiled with almost all hardware support by default | 03:39 |
| jtg23 | if i could get the @#$% wifi working | 03:39 |
| maxamillion | zeroonlinux: yeah | 03:39 |
| jtg23 | i've been on this for days, might it just not be possible to do? | 03:39 |
| jtg23 | with my hardware specs? i don't see why it wouldn't be since it's owrked for others | 03:39 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: might not ... have you checked the wifi docs? | 03:39 |
| maxamillion | !wifi | jtg23 | 03:40 |
| ubotu | jtg23: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 03:40 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: lots of good info there, even tutorials about specific chipsets ... maybe they have stuff on the one you have | 03:40 |
| jtg23 | yeah, thing is, they do, but eventually the tutorials i've found and the official docs i've found deviate from my experience | 03:41 |
| zeroonlinux | oops i forgot no floppy drive also | 03:41 |
| zeroonlinux | :( | 03:41 |
| zeroonlinux | :( | 03:41 |
| jtg23 | could there be an outside hardware issue interfering? i mean can it be related to my bios, for instance? | 03:41 |
| jtg23 | zero can you use that hard drive as a slave and install from the one you're currently on? | 03:42 |
| jtg23 | that's what i'd do | 03:42 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: well, it could have to do with your bios or your motherboard ... but as long as the bios has the card enabled and the system sees it, then you should be fine | 03:43 |
| jtg23 | wtf then....under dapper it doesnt' even see it but it suppsoedly works under feisty | 03:43 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: have you tried grep-ing lspci for the chipset to make sure its detected? | 03:43 |
| jtg23 | i'm updating my kernel now so i can only hoep that it was another soemthing in 7.04 interfering or otherwise it's hardware related | 03:44 |
| jtg23 | yeah, it detects it | 03:44 |
| jtg23 | i just can't grab an ip | 03:44 |
| jtg23 | and oddly i don't even get a 169.... ip, i just get no line item for inet addr | 03:44 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: when you do "ifconfig -a" does it list it as an interface? | 03:44 |
| jtg23 | not in 6.06 but did in 7.04 (with the caveat taht there was no inet addr) | 03:46 |
| jtg23 | and the airlink supposedly only worked with "Network Manager" which i couldn't install cuz it had 2 deps that depended on each other, oddly | 03:47 |
| jtg23 | but then i realized i could get internet to this puter by hooking ethernet to the usb | 03:47 |
| jtg23 | and that has made more options available; yesterday i was doing all this by modifying the apt-get source.list and copying from a thumb drive | 03:47 |
| jtg23 | over and over and over again | 03:47 |
| jtg23 | think it'd crash trying to make a screencast of the kernel compilation? | 03:48 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: naw | 03:49 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: you know what, you might need to install a wifi manager ... like wifi-radar or network-manager-gnome | 03:49 |
| jtg23 | right, network-manager-gnome is what i was referring to | 03:50 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: try "iwlist <interface> scan" (where <interface> is the net card interface) and see if you get anything listed (assuming you are in range of a wifi network) | 03:51 |
| jtg23 | while my kernel's going? | 03:51 |
| jtg23 | is that safe? | 03:51 |
| jtg23 | it's doing something mission critical i think | 03:51 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: yeah, your just compiling a kernel ... compiling a kernel is just like compiling software ... to the compiler, its just software and currently your machine is still on the kernel that booted your machine | 03:51 |
| jtg23 | oh good, i was confused about that | 03:52 |
| jtg23 | i'm building it and then i'm going to remap it for reboot? | 03:52 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: exactly | 03:52 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: you will map the newly compiled kernel once its done compiling | 03:52 |
| jtg23 | interface doesn't support scanning? | 03:52 |
| jtg23 | well i think it doesn't detect the card at all | 03:53 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: uhmmm... that's not good | 03:53 |
| jtg23 | right this is 6.06 now | 03:53 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: very sorry, but my dog needs to go out ... brb | 03:53 |
| jtg23 | it was detected in 7.04 but wouldn't work | 03:53 |
| jtg23 | oh yeah, i hear ya np | 03:53 |
| maxamillion | annnd back | 03:59 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: honestly, as much of a pain in the hind parts as it might be ... you are probably going to need to install feisty in order to get this working | 04:00 |
| jtg23 | 6.1 | 04:00 |
| jtg23 | ? | 04:00 |
| jtg23 | 6.1 over 7.04? | 04:00 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: 7.10 | 04:00 |
| jtg23 | 7.10?! | 04:00 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: 7.04 is edgy | 04:00 |
| jtg23 | 7.10 tribe? | 04:01 |
| maxamillion | uhmm... wait | 04:01 |
| maxamillion | ha! | 04:01 |
| jtg23 | you're confusing me more than i was confused | 04:01 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: sorry, my mistake | 04:01 |
| jtg23 | i have tried 6.06 and 7.04 | 04:01 |
| jtg23 | but not 7.1 or 6.1 | 04:01 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: 6.06 is dapper, 6.10 is edgy, and 7.04 is feisty | 04:02 |
| jtg23 | ohkay and you're advocating 7.04 | 04:02 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: 7.04 is what we need to look into | 04:02 |
| jtg23 | snap well i feel like vidd and i exhausted options on that stack | 04:02 |
| jtg23 | well, ya know...i can boot from cd now right? and try the drivers out of the box with the cards? | 04:03 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: sure can, if the support is supposed to be built in we can try it with the live-cd | 04:03 |
| jtg23 | ok well....how long does a kernel compile take? | 04:03 |
| jtg23 | i love this error message for screensaver not found btw ;) | 04:04 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: depending on your hardware it can take up to many hours | 04:04 |

| jtg23 | or do you actually use xubuntu? | 04:08 |

| jtg23 | what sort of laptop/wificard do you have? | 04:09 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: its a dell latitude d820 with an intel pro wifi card (actually a work laptop, i just get to take it home because i'm a sys admin) | 04:10 |
| jtg23 | ok, "no network interfaces detected" though i have the usb plugged into the dsl and i have airlink wifi card | 04:10 |
| maxamillion | jtg23: i'm a college student with a part time on-campus job doing sys admin stuffs for the university library | 04:10 |

| maxamillion | hello bytor4233 | 04:16 |
| bytor4233 | I had an old laptop (500mhz athlon, 200 megs of ram) that just wouldn't install my beloved Ubuntu, and I needed the laptop for a job trip. | 04:16 |
| maxamillion | bytor4233: and xubuntu saved the day? | 04:17 |
| bytor4233 | It sure did | 04:17 |
| bytor4233 | Xubuntu is my hero. | 04:17 |
| s|k | is there a way to turn the sound up or down from a command line | 04:17 |
| maxamillion | fantastic! ... we are glad to help :) | 04:17 |
| s|k | ? | 04:17 |
| maxamillion | s|k: uhmm... not to my knowledge | 04:17 |
| s|k | or better yet, how do I know what sound daemon I have? | 04:17 |
| maxamillion | s|k: i would imagine you have alsa | 04:18 |
| bytor4233 | alsamixer would do the trick | 04:18 |
| s|k | is that what xubuntu comes with? | 04:18 |
| bytor4233 | or amixer | 04:18 |

| s|k | yes | 04:19 |
| s|k | that rocks | 04:19 |

| s|k | I have xubuntu, but I run ratpoison from the fail safe terminal | 04:19 |
| s|k | :D | 04:19 |
| bytor4233 | amixer is a little harder to use than alsamixer. Use amixer for scripting. | 04:19 |

| s|k | I just don't like windows | 04:20 |
| s|k | :) | 04:20 |
| maxamillion | s|k: then run debian ... more stable than any other distro, bar none | 04:20 |
| maxamillion | ;) | 04:20 |
| s|k | maybe eventually | 04:21 |
| s|k | I like how things just work in xubuntu | 04:21 |
| maxamillion | now granted they test their packages more intensly and for longer than anyone else, but still ... more stable :) | 04:21 |
| maxamillion | s|k: then stick with it :D ... use what works, nothing wrong with that | 04:21 |
| s|k | yup yup | 04:21 |
| s|k | :) | 04:21 |
| bytor4233 | The only thing I am missing is Evolution. Thunderbird and Lightning are okay, but I like Evolution more. | 04:22 |
| maxamillion | bytor4233: you can install it ... we just don't have it by default because its a heavy application in comparison | 04:23 |

| bytor4233 | I used to use WindowMaker and Debian Testing. | 04:26 |
| bytor4233 | I totally understand light. | 04:26 |
| jtg23_ | light? | 04:27 |
| jtg23_ | oh light | 04:27 |
| jtg23_ | i'm installing ubuntu and its bloatcode on here because supposedly this usb driver works natively with it :P | 04:27 |
| bytor4233 | hehe | 04:27 |
| maxamillion | bytor4233: oh yeah, windowmaker is something i used for a while but flux seemed more my style | 04:27 |
| jtg23_ | if this doesn't work maybe i'll do deb | 04:27 |
| jtg23_ | i feel like i'm trying to get bsd working with all this dissatisfaction | 04:28 |
| bytor4233 | maxamillion: I eventually started getting used to Gnome and its bloatware, and eventually just switched to Ubuntu on a whim. Been in love with it ever since. | 04:28 |
| maxamillion | jtg23_: i can't promise it would work in debian... debian is a little less automated then the ubuntu crowd | 04:28 |
| bytor4233 | And now I'm feelin for Xubuntu now! | 04:28 |
| jtg23_ | maxamillion my plan is to get it working on one and then split the hd and put it on the other with the network support i get from the one | 04:29 |
| bytor4233 | Once you get down to the nuts and bolts of productivity thou, Xubuntu definately has the "ubuntu" feel. | 04:29 |
| jtg23_ | and hten repartion the disk to erase that installation once i get xub working | 04:29 |
| maxamillion | bytor4233: yeah, i have been a xfce+debian user for quite some time and when i found xubuntu i found it to be a wonderful thing... i greatly support it, but there are certain things i stick by debian about | 04:29 |

| === zeroonlinux [n=zeroonli@210.5.78.51] has left #xubuntu [] | ||
| bytor4233 | I looove Debian too. I deploy it all the time, whenever I can at work. | 04:29 |
| jtg23_ | (so ideally ubuntu will do the job, it's just too much overhead) | 04:29 |
| bytor4233 | Its a little bit of overhead, but I have the resources to spare, and then some. | 04:30 |
| maxamillion | jtg23_: right | 04:30 |
| maxamillion | jtg23_: you might need network-manager-gnome (which isn't installed by default) | 04:30 |
| jtg23_ | i just don't think i can get this wifi working with dsl realistically | 04:30 |
| jtg23_ | maxamillion i think you're right but that was the thing that gave me problems because i didn't have these 2 packages that depended on each otehr | 04:31 |
| maxamillion | bytor4233: i have the resources, but gnome just isn't my cup of tea ... i don't like metacity, and the fact that the menu icons lag the first time you open the menu literally makes me cringe | 04:31 |
| jtg23_ | maxamillion, you use a gui? i thought you were leet | 04:31 |
| bytor4233 | hehe | 04:32 |
| bytor4233 | maxamillion: I hear that. | 04:32 |
| maxamillion | jtg23_: ohhh, right ... yeah, i forget about how you are unable to install from the repositories like the rest of us who have internet connections | 04:32 |
| jtg23_ | maxamillion but i can get online in dapper which was why i was just trying to recompile the kernel | 04:32 |
| jtg23_ | because if i could just do that i could get the drivers from teh updated kernel | 04:32 |
| maxamillion | jtg23_: use gui? ... of course, i use xfce or fluxbox depending, but i irc with irssi to keep to my roots ;) | 04:32 |
| maxamillion | jtg23_: ahhh, ok | 04:33 |
| jtg23_ | ohhhh but i should've just installed the gnome thingy, i messed up | 04:33 |
| jtg23_ | well, wathever, i can finish that kernel if this ubuntu 6.06 doesn't support my wifi | 04:33 |
| maxamillion | jtg23_: "leet" is an over-rated thing ... i enjoy youtube, elinks just doesn't deliver | 04:33 |
| maxamillion | jtg23_: okies, well good luck to you | 04:34 |

| maxamillion | j1mc: install linux on anything and everything you can get your hands on ... you learn more by working out random little issues | 04:45 |
| j1mc | yeah... | 04:45 |
| j1mc | that's one good thing about volunteering at freegeek chicago... you see some weird hardware. | 04:46 |
| j1mc | you see it all. | 04:46 |
| j1mc | i want to give gentoo a shot, but i don't have a spare box for installing it now. | 04:46 |
| === maxamillion needs to move somewhere that there is such a place | ||
| maxamillion | j1mc: gentoo ... here's what you do for gentoo: clear an _entire_ weekend off your schedule, then print off the novel that is gentoo docs ... read them once without the computer infront of you, and then read them as you install (and don't use any automated kernel building tools, because it is known that they don't work) and then be ready to sleep very little as you config for hours and then compile for even more hours ... and now you have a command lin | 04:48 |
| maxamillion | j1mc: theeeeeen you get to start emerging software, and now get some sleep because all that will take over night to compile | 04:49 |
| j1mc | right... | 04:49 |
| j1mc | i hear that you learn a lot about linux by going through all of that. | 04:49 |
| BFTD | maxamillion | 04:49 |
| j1mc | even though it takes forever. | 04:49 |
| BFTD | don't exagerate | 04:49 |
| BFTD | I did all this in 18 hours | 04:49 |
| maxamillion | j1mc: yes, you learn ALOT | 04:49 |
| j1mc | i've tried before, but i think i selected some wrong make flags or build flags or whatever... | 04:50 |
| maxamillion | BFTD: i'm not exagerating ... i did it on a pentiumII 333mhz w/ 192mb of ram ... it did take me that long | 04:50 |
| j1mc | it sucks when you take that long, and the system doesn't work. | 04:50 |
| maxamillion | j1mc: use flags it what they are called ... and yes, that could mess up your world | 04:50 |
| BFTD | maxamillion well no duh | 04:50 |
| BFTD | on a system with that specs it'll take anything that long to compile | 04:51 |
| maxamillion | j1mc: another thing you could try is LFS ... its a good way to learn ALOT (one journey i have yet to embrace) | 04:51 |
| maxamillion | i will do it eventually ... i just need to find the time to dedicate | 04:52 |
| j1mc | yeah... lfs. :) maybe someday. :) | 04:54 |

| Ghostvirus | ruks, depends on the question! | 06:17 |
| ruks | ok i use azureus to dl torrents,im new to linux im running feisty,so i dl the torrents and converted the .bin files to .iso,but i cant watch them at all | 06:18 |
| ruks | i cant figure out why | 06:18 |
| ruks | or find anything to help me | 06:18 |
| Ghostvirus | what are the ISOs of? DVDs? | 06:19 |
| Jester45 | ruks, have you mount/burned the iso? | 06:19 |
| ruks | well i cant mount it,i dont know how | 06:20 |
| ruks | i downloaded some stuff from demonoid.com or whatever | 06:20 |
| Ghostvirus | haha, didn't we have the ISO mounting conversation last night? | 06:20 |
| ruks | converted them,but i dont know how to mount them | 06:20 |
| Ghostvirus | some other dude was asking the same thing | 06:20 |
| Jester45 | wonder if the bot knows | 06:20 |
| Jester45 | !iso | 06:20 |
| ubotu | To mount an ISO disc image, type sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 06:20 |
| Jester45 | o my, it knows | 06:21 |
| ruks | ahhhh | 06:21 |
| ruks | ok i will try that and check that link | 06:21 |
| Ghostvirus | what was the software i found last night? | 06:22 |
| Ghostvirus | cdemu or something? | 06:22 |
| Ghostvirus | it's not in the repos though | 06:22 |
| ruks | ill try what the bot suggested and let u know how it goes | 06:23 |
| Ghostvirus | http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Mount | 06:24 |
| Ghostvirus | i'm kind of surprised no one's made a daemon tools equivalent for linux | 06:25 |
| Ghostvirus | someone posted a script for nautilus to mount and unmount ISOs. can that sort of thing be done with thunar? | 06:28 |
| Jester45 | its not the hard | 06:29 |
| Jester45 | sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /a/path/to/the/cd/ | 06:29 |
| Ghostvirus | true, but right-clicking an ISO and selecting "mount" would be nifty | 06:30 |
| Jester45 | the reason nobody has made a proram is because its simple | 06:31 |
| Jester45 | you can... | 06:31 |
| Jester45 | make a script it would take 10 mins | 06:31 |
| Ghostvirus | i'll have to look into it. i've never made a script. i'm pretty much a linux noob anyway | 06:32 |
| ruks | hey i tried the command the bot suggested but it said my .iso file is no such file or directory,but im lookin right at it | 06:33 |
| Jester45 | did you try drag and droping it? | 06:34 |
| ruks | drag and dropping it where | 06:34 |
| Jester45 | into the terminal | 06:36 |
| ruks | ok i did that,can i paste what it said here? | 06:37 |
| ruks | how do i paste a big thing again? | 06:37 |
| Jester45 | as long as its not to much | 06:37 |

| ruks | so whats that mean jester? | 06:53 |
| Jester45 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing_window_manager | 06:55 |

| Jester45 | did it work | 06:56 |
| ruks | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or other error | 06:56 |
| ruks | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | 06:56 |
| ruks | dmesg | tail or so | 06:56 |
| feliciano | Ghostvirus... ok I read that... but... in this case... x windows manager is xfwm... and the compositing manager program??? | 06:56 |
| Jester45 | the composting manager is xfwm4 | 06:56 |
| Ghostvirus | xfwm is the window manager and compositor | 06:56 |
| Ghostvirus | it does both | 06:56 |
| Jester45 | ruks, run file /path/to/iso | 06:57 |
| ruks | just type that in? | 06:57 |
| Jester45 | no... type file then the path to the iso | 06:57 |
| ruks | ahh got ya | 06:58 |
| Jester45 | so "file "/home/david/.azureus/torrents/PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN AT WORLDS END TS-MVS A KARMADROME RELEASE BY BDK/pirates02.iso"" | 06:58 |
| Ghostvirus | what kind of scene release groups releases a telesync as an iso anyway?! | 06:58 |
| ruks | it says the file then :data | 06:59 |
| Jester45 | o and ruks you could of used vlc to play the bin file :) | 07:00 |
| ruks | it was a .bin ghost | 07:00 |
| ruks | i still have the .bin | 07:00 |
| ruks | i have a bunch of these movies,i just cant watch em lol | 07:00 |
| Jester45 | does the torrent include a few text files saying that its a kvcd ? | 07:02 |
| ruks | ahh let me look | 07:02 |
| Jester45 | you can do cat file file file| grep kvcd | 07:03 |
| ruks | text file labeled "how to burn a kvcd from tmts.org.text | 07:03 |

| ruks | ok but in vlc how do i find the hidden directories like .azures/torrents | 07:05 |
| ruks | like that | 07:05 |
| ruks | cuz thats where they are | 07:05 |
| ruks | and in vlc i cant see em right now | 07:05 |
| Jester45 | you could copy else where | 07:05 |
| Jester45 | or... open thunar and show hidden files then look for them *might work* | 07:06 |
| ruks | ok lemme try | 07:06 |
| ruks | got it selected to show hiddens but it dont work lol,im copying it right now to another folder,so let me see if that works in vlc | 07:08 |
| ruks | so what if i wanna burn this to a disc to play in my dvd player? | 07:08 |
| ruks | and azureus crashes as soon as i open it now,if anyone might know why? | 07:08 |
| Jester45 | did you remove the file while copying? | 07:09 |
| ruks | no i just clicked it selected copy and pasted it in another folder,it just finished | 07:10 |
| Jester45 | well... you need to make sure the dvd player can play them | 07:10 |
| Ghostvirus | ruks, i'd recommend changing your torrent download folder to something else, as opposed to using the hidden folder | 07:10 |
| Ghostvirus | can azureus do that? | 07:10 |
| ruks | ahhh its playing the .bin | 07:11 |
| ruks | woot | 07:11 |
| ruks | ahhh sweet | 07:11 |
| ruks | well i cant get azureus to even stay open or i would change it,does anyone know why it crashes all of a sudden | 07:12 |
| Ghostvirus | i don't know. i don't use azureus. never liked it... | 07:13 |
| Ghostvirus | you might want to look into deluge: http://deluge-torrent.org/ | 07:13 |
| ruks | u just use bittorrent ubuntus default | 07:13 |
| ruks | ? | 07:13 |
| ruks | oh ok | 07:13 |
| ruks | is deluge java based | 07:13 |
| Jester45 | no | 07:14 |
| Ghostvirus | no | 07:14 |
| ruks | i think thats why im havin problems with azureus | 07:14 |
| Jester45 | its python i think | 07:14 |
| Ghostvirus | that's what i like about deluge... no java | 07:14 |
| ruks | sweet | 07:14 |
| ruks | well thanks guys,i can play the bin files now hehe | 07:14 |
| Ghostvirus | actually i don't torrent much on xubuntu. i use utorrent on xp. but deluge is a lot like utorrent | 07:14 |
| ruks | but what do i do if i wanna burn it to a disc? | 07:14 |
| Ghostvirus | get graveman | 07:15 |
| Ghostvirus | it's a disc burner | 07:15 |
| ruks | ok | 07:16 |
| Ghostvirus | does bin/cue files | 07:16 |
| ruks | and i burn the iso right,as disc image | 07:16 |
| ruks | oh sweet | 07:16 |
| Ghostvirus | it does pretty much everything | 07:16 |
| Ghostvirus | http://graveman.tuxfamily.org/ | 07:16 |
| Ghostvirus | it's in the repositories | 07:16 |
| Ghostvirus | xfburn is less than reliable, sadly | 07:17 |
| Jester45 | gnomebaker or k3b | 07:18 |
| Ghostvirus | yeah, install one of those if you don't mind gnome or kde libs loading | 07:19 |
| ruks | i got gnomebaker installed | 07:19 |
| ruks | but will it burn .bin? | 07:19 |
| Ghostvirus | i'm kind of worried if graveman is a dead project. no updates in a year :/ | 07:19 |
| Ghostvirus | yeah gnomebaker burns bins | 07:20 |
| ruks | hey on that deluge page it says | 07:20 |
| ruks | under built packages | 07:20 |
| ruks | not to install the one in the repos | 07:20 |
| ruks | should i dl the .tar.gz? | 07:20 |
| Ghostvirus | oh? maybe it's old. there's a deb here: http://www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=1068 | 07:21 |
| Ghostvirus | the getdeb site is pretty useful for getting packages not in the repos, or if the repos have old versions | 07:23 |
| ruks | ok sweet | 07:23 |
| ruks | thanks | 07:23 |
| Ghostvirus | no problem | 07:24 |

| Ghostvirus | anyone know why xubuntu 7.04 doesn't have ntfs-3g by default/ | 07:32 |
| crimsun | because it can't. | 07:32 |
| Jester45 | its not-free | 07:32 |
| Jester45 | im guessing | 07:32 |
| Jester45 | hi crimsun | 07:33 |

| Ghostvirus | strange, when i had ubuntu 7.04 running, i recall it had ntfs-3g by default? my memory might be playing tricks on me though. | 07:34 |
| BFTD | ? | 07:34 |
| crimsun | it doesn't. | 07:34 |
| crimsun | I know for a fact. | 07:34 |

| Jester45 | ruks, then you need the 64bit one | 07:49 |
| ruks | ahh ok,anyone got a link where i can get it? | 07:50 |
| Ghostvirus | hm, you might need to compile it yourself... | 07:50 |
| ruks | ahh i def dont know how to do that lol | 07:51 |
| Ghostvirus | ah, it's not that hard actually | 07:51 |
| ruks | ill prolly screw it up lol | 07:52 |
| Ghostvirus | http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/#source | 07:52 |
| ruks | so if there isnt a 64 deb,any other program u would suggest tat isnt java based | 07:52 |

| test3r | just launch it how they told u. | 08:38 |
| test3r | o.O | 08:38 |

| test3r | there is instructions | 08:39 |
| ruks | yea | 08:39 |
| test3r | they probably say something like "use - ROOT# perl /path/2/ur/script.pl | 08:39 |

| test3r | It is. | 08:40 |
| Ghostvirus | can't seem to find any other results regarding that error on their forum | 08:41 |

| test3r | as an example | 08:42 |
| test3r | ;) | 08:42 |

| test3r | hoipefully that helps? ah poo. well take a picture of what i just told u so u have it later. it will make sense One day. | 08:43 |
| gerro | ruks: apt-get install bittornado-gui | 08:44 |
| ruks | already got it | 08:44 |
| test3r | yeah its in your menu under Netowkring | 08:44 |
| ruks | but it sucks imo,i liked azureus but it crashed cuz of java | 08:45 |
| ruks | i installed bit tornado | 08:45 |
| test3r | the Big secret - ruks - is there is no best best client. Use what works BEST with your stuff you have in place | 08:45 |
| ruks | ok | 08:46 |
| test3r | so if you can use a BT client that uses GCC code from start-end its going to be pretty stable. | 08:46 |
| Pumpernickel | That won't work with Deluge - it has a C++ portion which has to be compiled. | 08:46 |
| Pumpernickel | It's not just a python script. | 08:46 |
| ruks | azureus worked great til it started crashin when i opened it | 08:46 |
| ruks | dammit | 08:46 |
| test3r | azureus has C++ hidden in the middle of its code? wait i though the entire make file would be in C++? | 08:46 |
| Pumpernickel | Deluge does. | 08:47 |
| ruks | somone told me since its java based it crashes,didnt have any problems with it at first it dl great | 08:47 |
| test3r | oic now. never heard of that clint, yet. | 08:47 |
| Pumpernickel | I'm commenting on what you said about a dozen lines up. | 08:47 |
| test3r | client | 08:47 |
| ruks | now when i open it bam it closes | 08:47 |
| test3r | ruks : it might work better on windows im guessing | 08:48 |
| test3r | because of they way they do some thing | 08:48 |
| === gerro thinks azureus is too bloated | ||
| ruks | if u can figure out why azureus crashes that would be awesome | 08:48 |

| test3r | is switweasel a branch with switfox ? | 08:50 |
| Ghostvirus | i dunno why i didn't just google for the damn package from the start :-[ | 08:50 |
| Ghostvirus | let me know how the installation goes | 08:50 |
| gerro | nope its a branch of iceweasel that mimics swiftfox performance but also throws in some configurations and plugins tweak it further | 08:50 |
| ruks | says dependancy is not satisfiable libboost-datetime1.34.0,does that mean i need to install newer version of it? | 08:50 |
| test3r | should i try swiftfox? how much more stable is that for us? | 08:51 |
| Ghostvirus | ruks: yeah, you'll have to install some packages first | 08:51 |
| gerro | test3r: not at all stable but I've had good results with swiftweasel | 08:51 |
| test3r | huh! no doubt ill makke a note of it | 08:51 |

| test3r | if you want K++, try slack | 08:58 |

| azi | hm.. i've just installed ubuntu and the installation hasn't asked me to set up the root passord and no i'm unable to set the proper keboard setting. anone knos hat the passord is? | 09:00 |
| Ghostvirus | it should have every dependency you'll need | 09:00 |
| Ghostvirus | root password should be the password you entered when installing | 09:01 |
| azi | Ghostvirus: i onl entered the user passd | 09:01 |
| test3r | it never asked him | 09:01 |
| test3r | there is a page on the web about your situation , azi | 09:01 |
| test3r | i think you login with "ubuntu" and no pass | 09:02 |
| test3r | if that is not it im sure you can find the article | 09:02 |
| ruks | ghost it says not satisfied libc but its installed i looked in synaptics | 09:02 |
| Ghostvirus | what version of libc is it asking for? | 09:03 |
| ruks | 6 | 09:04 |
| ruks | thats whats installed in synaptics | 09:04 |
| ruks | http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/boost/libboost-date-time1.34.0_1.34.0-1_amd64.deb | 09:04 |

| Pumpernickel | !sudo | azi | 09:05 |
| ubotu | azi: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 09:05 |

| test3r | lol yipes. installing unstables ? | 09:06 |
| test3r | good luck with getting all that to work like a clock | 09:06 |
| Ghostvirus | :/ | 09:06 |
| gerro | wow and how long you had your system not kernel panic? | 09:06 |
| test3r | mmmmm? last time it did i had made my own kernel for Edgy | 09:07 |
| test3r | then i sorted out why | 09:07 |
| test3r | ... why do u ask? | 09:07 |
| gerro | just curious | 09:07 |
| gerro | any idea what is with the k7 kernel in ubuntu repository? | 09:08 |
| ruks | so should i install that or what | 09:08 |
| Pumpernickel | No. | 09:08 |
| test3r | or maybe you count the time i compiled gentoo for three days in a row . the computer thought for three days. only to find out it would not use my PCI-based 3COM ethernet card | 09:08 |
| gerro | it says it is older than the generic one and screws up my graphics card if I use it | 09:08 |
| test3r | even installing slack | 09:08 |
| test3r | from floppy | 09:08 |
| ruks | ok so i should just give up on deluge? | 09:08 |
| test3r | to a box with 16MB RAM was quicker | 09:08 |
| test3r | than the non-working install of GENTOO | 09:09 |
| test3r | that was the most pathetic thing ive ever seen. | 09:09 |
| gerro | yeah I never really liked gentoo... | 09:09 |
| ruks | so no deluge guys? | 09:09 |
| test3r | i dunno have ur box think for ages if you want - whatever. | 09:09 |
| gerro | too hardcore whatever and all :/ | 09:09 |
| test3r | i like to use it though | 09:09 |

| maxamillion | hdoria: not that i know of, but xfce panel has full gnome plugin support so you could technically install and add the one for gnome if you wanted | 06:57 |
| Orionisti | And I never had to provide one before | 06:57 |
| Orionisti | so are there still some hope for me to get the gprs connection working | 06:57 |
| hdoria | maxamillion, humm . its not what im looking for, but thanks anyway | 06:57 |
| maxamillion | np | 06:58 |
| maxamillion | Orionisti: its impossible to create a PPP connection without a dial up number, its possible that your old software had it included from your ISP so that you didn't have to enter it for yourself, but it is required and i'm sure you could find out an access number to enter into the PPP configurator | 06:59 |
| Orionisti | I looked all over the phone settings and there was no mention ofa dial number... | 07:00 |
| Orionisti | maybe the operator website is next | 07:00 |
| maxamillion | Orionisti: not a half bad idea | 07:02 |

| Orionisti | nopes, it only explains what the acronym GPRS means | 07:06 |
| Orionisti | re-ordered the settings to my phone, but so far I've got nothing useful | 07:07 |
| Orionisti | aaaand half of the operator's website is down due to updates | 07:08 |
| maxamillion | Orionisti: sounds like the story of my life | 07:10 |
| Orionisti | but google gave me a guide on how to get another nokia cellphone work via bluetooth on gentoo | 07:13 |
| Orionisti | and there I got the phone number | 07:15 |
| Orionisti | ..I think | 07:15 |
| Orionisti | but why can't I open the PPP program now >_< | 07:16 |

| Orionisti | yeah | 07:32 |
| Orionisti | but it worked like a charm in knoppix | 07:32 |

| m0u5e | ive installed beryl on xubuntu, how do i get it to default on boot up? (should i ask #beryl instead?) | 09:18 |
| Jester45 | no | 09:18 |
| Jester45 | you could as in #ubuntu-effects but... they use gnome | 09:18 |
| Jester45 | so here would be fine | 09:18 |
| Jester45 | you can set it buy settings autostarted -> applications | 09:19 |
| Jester45 | oops | 09:19 |
| Jester45 | settings -> autostarted applications :) | 09:20 |
| Jester45 | the command could be beryl & emerald --replace (i think that should work) | 09:21 |
| Jester45 | or you can have beryl-manager start up | 09:21 |
| Jester45 | or you could make a xfce session to have it start when you want | 09:21 |
| Jester45 | so at login you could select with beryl or without | 09:22 |
| Jester45 | idk if beryl needs the --replace flag | 09:22 |
| Jester45 | i think it does | 09:22 |
| m0u5e | okay thx | 09:23 |
| === Smygis [n=smygis@e611.cust.vannas.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| m0u5e | so just go into auto started applications and type in beryl --replace ? | 09:23 |
| Jester45 | no... you need emerald also | 09:23 |
| m0u5e | okay | 09:24 |
| Jester45 | so the command would be "beryl --replace & emerald --replace" | 09:24 |
| Jester45 | the & makes both run at the same time | 09:24 |
| m0u5e | okay | 09:24 |
| m0u5e | all as 1 autostart application | 09:25 |
| Jester45 | and just so you know if you do command && command when ever the first command is done the 2 will run | 09:25 |
| Jester45 | yep | 09:25 |
| m0u5e | okay thx :) | 09:25 |
| TheSheep | Jester45: & just makes the first command run in background... | 09:26 |
| m0u5e | is restarting my session enough to get it working? :) | 09:26 |
| Jester45 | TheSheep, ok but they still both will run | 09:26 |

| TheSheep | indeed, all software tend to be pretty stupid -- it doesn't have brains, you know | 09:45 |
| m0u5e | hmm beryl doesnt want to start up | 09:49 |
| m0u5e | the beryl --replace & emerald --replace isnt working... | 09:49 |
| TheSheep | add ; after the & | 09:53 |
| TheSheep | nah, sorry | 09:54 |
| TheSheep | wrong | 09:54 |
| TheSheep | m0u5e: what happens when you run 'beryl --replace' yourself? | 09:54 |

| blue|palm | hi there, I am running an xgl server succesfully compositing with xfwm4, but I have installed compiz-fusion. When i try and run compiz --replace I get the following error: compiz (core) - Error: Could not acquire compositing manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0" | 10:15 |
| blue|palm | <blue|palm> compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0 | 10:15 |
| Jester45 | beryl isnt a "window manager" on how you thinging | 10:15 |
| Jester45 | emerald is whats missing | 10:15 |
| Jester45 | its the window decorator, it puts the boarders on the windows | 10:16 |
| Jester45 | blue|palm, compiz doesnt work to well on xubuntu, at least for me | 10:16 |
| blue|palm | Jester45, hmm, this is compiz-fusion im talking about... | 10:17 |
| blue|palm | and it really shoudn't matter what de we are running! since we are effectively replacing it.. .this is a compiz-fusion error im making... i was hoping someone knows what Ive done wrong | 10:18 |
| Jester45 | you can try #ubuntu-effects | 10:19 |
| blue|palm | Jester45, they are all dead quiet :P | 10:20 |
| Jester45 | so does compiz-fusion need parts of gnome? like regualr compiz | 10:21 |
| blue|palm | no | 10:26 |
| blue|palm | its actually decided by whoever compiles the package | 10:26 |
| blue|palm | so lets hope we get xubuntu-specific packages | 10:27 |
| maxamillion | Jester45: beryl is a window manager | 10:27 |
| Jester45 | i know it is | 10:27 |
| === maxamillion is now confused | ||
| maxamillion | or i should read farther back in the convo | 10:28 |
| === maxamillion is lurking while at work | ||
| Jester45 | but the guy said he had the effects but no window manager and i said what it was calling the window manager would be emerald the window decorator | 10:28 |
| Jester45 | i more said what your calling the "window manager" is emerald | 10:29 |
| maxamillion | ahhhhh ok | 10:29 |
| maxamillion | :) | 10:29 |
| Jester45 | i was triying not to confuse him... but someone gets confused anyway | 10:29 |
| maxamillion | lol, the irony of life | 10:30 |
| Jester45 | blue|palm, where did you get compiz-fusion from | 10:34 |
| blue|palm | Jester45, there are debs... I can't remember where exactly :P | 10:34 |
