| servaas-xubuntu- | sudo iwconfig eth1 essid ..... | 12:32 |
| jtg23 | nope | 12:33 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | you can find essid with iwlist eth1 scan | 12:33 |
| jtg23 | i've done this before too btw | 12:33 |
| jtg23 | i mean this specific task of setting my essid | 12:33 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | accespoint invalid | 12:34 |
| jtg23 | yeah, waht's that about | 12:34 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | man iwconfig ... and read about acces point | 12:34 |
| Ramon | damn i guess I'm the only one having this issue :o | 12:35 |
| Ramon | ok people brb later gonna get some other info :) take care | 12:35 |
| === Ramon [n=asdf@201.247.58.178] has left #xubuntu [] | ||
| servaas-xubuntu- | because you didnt set essid you dont have acces point i think | 12:36 |
| jtg23 | ok getting weirder....i did ap auto and it has a mac address now for access point | 12:36 |
| jtg23 | and i have a line item for inet6 addr but still not for inet addr | 12:36 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | ok now set an essid | 12:36 |
| jtg23 | again? | 12:36 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | yes | 12:37 |

| jtg23 | no i'm very excited | 12:39 |
| jtg23 | i was worried and dejected | 12:39 |
| jtg23 | now to do something with the tool instead of tooling with it :) | 12:40 |
| jtg23 | so why did i have to do the essid again? | 12:40 |
| jtg23 | oh cuz there was no valid ap | 12:40 |
| jtg23 | i get it, i get it | 12:40 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | yes | 12:40 |
| jtg23 | i got the ip automatically once the essid was right and the ap was too | 12:40 |
| jtg23 | ok i was not familiar with lsmod before; that will help me a lot | 12:40 |
| Jester45 | jtg23, do you know about tab completion, try typing serv then press tab. (i noticed that you spelled servaas-xubuntu- name but without the -) | 12:41 |
| nikolam | Nice :) Ist so nice :) | 12:41 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | then dhclient was up already and runnig and doing its job well | 12:41 |
| jtg23 | if i had ethernet instead of usb would i do lseth or something to probe the jack? | 12:41 |
| jtg23 | irc has tab completion? | 12:41 |
| jtg23 | servaas-xubuntu-: woah | 12:41 |
| jtg23 | haha i type so much extra | 12:41 |

| jtg23 | later! | 12:42 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | later | 12:42 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | i love this ! | 12:42 |
| Jester45 | love what | 12:42 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | keeping people in! the community with some little help | 12:43 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | iam newbe aswell | 12:43 |
| Jester45 | o | 12:44 |
| cellofellow | I was like that about a year ago. | 12:44 |
| cellofellow | Now I am no longer newbie. | 12:45 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | 1 thing i learned is read everything you can and ask everything you dont read and dont give up | 12:45 |
| Jester45 | when did you get xubuntu cellofellow edgy or dapper | 12:45 |
| cellofellow | I started with Kubuntu just when Dapper was released. Switched to Xubuntu at Edgy. | 12:46 |
| Jester45 | servaas-xubuntu-, a 2nd hint is use man | 12:46 |
| nikolam | "Dont give up" That is crucial thought. | 12:46 |
| nikolam | I spent a month in strugle to make my usb adsl modem to work and.. after that everything was nicer .. :) | 12:47 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | i man always first than info it then google it then forum it than irc it etc | 12:47 |
| Jester45 | and another thing thats usefull is to browser wikipedia to know what things are (gentoo wiki if you want to get how tos ) | 12:47 |
| === Jester45 irc then googles then mans | ||
| cellofellow | The gentoo wiki rocks for general Linux knowledge. Ubuntu/Debian specific stuff it doesn't have. | 12:48 |
| === kafran [n=kafran@201.79.187.7] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Jester45 | but once you know some simple things you can convert a lot of the how tos | 12:48 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | the reason is that i know what to ask ? | 12:48 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | ! | 12:49 |
| cellofellow | just keep at it man, and you'll love it even more. | 12:49 |
| Jester45 | servaas-xubuntu-, have you heard about beryl or compiz? | 12:50 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | but on irc i feel there are maany geeks reading but not speedy with answering ... just a feeling | 12:51 |
| Jester45 | its called lurking | 12:51 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | i already had both installed and working | 12:51 |
| Jester45 | your looking at irc but not doing anything on it | 12:51 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | but not using it now | 12:51 |
| Jester45 | TheSheep, is a great lurker | 12:52 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | ok learned something lurking hahaha | 12:52 |
| cellofellow | TheSheep almost never logs off. | 12:53 |
| TheSheep | cellofellow: why should I log off? | 12:53 |
| Jester45 | its because he is a group of scientist | 12:53 |
| Jester45 | HIS BACK | 12:54 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | i always log off and shutdown power saving you know | 12:54 |
| TheSheep | Jester45: my back? | 12:54 |
| === TheSheep looks as his back | ||

| === Jester45 runs away | ||
| servaas-xubuntu- | for a sheeep ? | 12:55 |

| servaas-xubuntu- | Jester45: what about the merge between compiz beryl ? do you there will be soon new packages for xubuntu | 12:57 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | paste think ... | 12:58 |
| cellofellow | Not till Gutsy I think. | 12:58 |
| Jester45 | there is packages and im running it | 12:58 |
| cellofellow | Jester45: I gotta say getdeb.net is sweet. Wish they ran a repo instead of having to download with the browser. | 12:58 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | already written the howto for it or just syptic it ? | 12:59 |
| cellofellow | aptitude > synaptic | 12:59 |
| Jester45 | hehe | 12:59 |
| Jester45 | cellofellow, is right | 12:59 |
| Jester45 | dpgk > synaptic | 12:59 |
| cellofellow | except that synaptic is built on dpkg | 01:00 |
| cellofellow | I actually really like gdebi. Using it instead of dpkg -i makes installing stuff that have unmet dependancies really easy. | 01:00 |
| cellofellow | gdebi-gtk is allrightish. | 01:00 |
| servaas-xubuntu- | ever thought about the many ways installing packages ? i showed my wife a week or so ago apt aptitude add/remove synaptic more ? | 01:01 |
| cellofellow | plain apt-get | 01:01 |
| cellofellow | make install | 01:01 |
| cellofellow | checkinstall | 01:01 |
| Jester45 | apt-get dpkg aptitude add/remove synatic gdebi | 01:01 |

| curiogeo | TheSheep: that works | 04:56 |
| curiogeo | now I have to try and see if the rights I wan them to have are still there | 04:56 |
| curiogeo | do I need to remove them from the other group that has less right if I want them to have the rights of the new group | 04:57 |
| TheSheep | ceil420: that's a script that lets you choose which of the laternative programs are to be used by default | 04:57 |
| TheSheep | ceil420: you need to select the splash in it and then reconfigure the kernel | 04:57 |
| TheSheep | curiogeo: no | 04:58 |
| TheSheep | curiogeo: there is always only one group taken into consideration -- the one in which given file is | 04:58 |

| TheSheep | ceil420: that's the one for grub :) | 05:06 |
| ceil420 | eh grub i don't care about; it just does it's little two second countdown and moves on | 05:06 |
| ceil420 | it's the loading screen that comes up after that that annoys me, because Xubuntu > Edubuntu :x | 05:07 |
| TheSheep | ceil420: grub can display a graphical splash too -- where it displays the table with all the kernels | 05:07 |
| TheSheep | ceil420: and that message is about that splash missing | 05:07 |
| ceil420 | so grub will just keep doin' it's little two second count down and move on? | 05:07 |
| TheSheep | ceil420: yes | 05:07 |
| ceil420 | and it won't move on into an edubuntu loading screen anymore? :x | 05:08 |
| TheSheep | ceil420: it shouldn't -- you uninstalled it | 05:08 |
| ceil420 | well i uninstalled it weeks ago ;x just due to recent power surges i've been seeing it a lot more often and it's getting more and more annoying :x | 05:09 |

| Foxsly | I have an ATI Radeon 7500 graphics card in my computer | 05:26 |
| Netham46 | I have a question: can I have it? :D | 05:26 |
| Foxsly | haha | 05:26 |
| Foxsly | linux won't work with it | 05:27 |
| Netham46 | I have an S3 Trio32/64 | 05:27 |
| Foxsly | i keep getting "no screens found" | 05:27 |
| Netham46 | are you using the radeon driver? | 05:27 |
| TheSheep | !ati | 05:27 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:27 |
| Netham46 | erm, ATI driver | 05:27 |
| saint-takeshi | foxsly, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg choose "ati" at the first prompt | 05:27 |
| saint-takeshi | then set up everything else according to the prompts | 05:28 |
| Netham46 | or you could go edit your xorg.conf file, but his way is easier. | 05:28 |
| Netham46 | :D | 05:28 |
| Foxsly | ok | 05:28 |
| Foxsly | I'll give that a try | 05:28 |
| Foxsly | thanks | 05:28 |
| maxamillion | Foxsly: there is actually also an open source driver called "radeon" you might want to try that one, from my understanding its a little better with 3d accerlation and such | 05:29 |
| maxamillion | Foxsly: its also found in the menu given by that command they mentioned | 05:29 |
| saint-takeshi | then sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf from inside <whatever window manager> and replace the word "ati" with "radeon" in Section "Device" | 05:29 |
| Foxsly | gotcha | 05:30 |
| maxamillion | gksudo* | 05:30 |
| saint-takeshi | maxamillion: i don't get the radeon choice in the dpk-reconfigure menu, i have to manually edit it | 05:30 |
| maxamillion | use gksudo for gui applications and sudo for command line | 05:30 |
| maxamillion | saint-takeshi: really? ... strange | 05:30 |
| maxamillion | saint-takeshi: but the driver was there, you didn't have to install it separately? | 05:31 |
| saint-takeshi | not seen Radeon in that menu since Debian Woody | 05:31 |
| saint-takeshi | don't know why, but it's never REALLY bothered me | 05:32 |

| Ghostvirus | i need some advice on an audio player | 05:36 |
| illu45 | all right... | 05:37 |
| Ghostvirus | i currently use quod libet, but it depends on a bunch of gstreamer stuff | 05:37 |
| Ghostvirus | should i use an app that uses xine if i want a lighter desktop? | 05:38 |
| maxamillion | Ghostvirus: you might want something like xmms, xmms2, beep media player, or audacious | 05:40 |
| Ghostvirus | maxamillion: i actually do have audacious. the only real problem i have with it is a lack of system tray icon that i can minimize it to | 05:41 |
| maxamillion | Ghostvirus: i recommend staying away from beep media player though ... for some reason the MOTU's can't seem to get a stable package of beep media player in the repositories .... its been 3 releases and i'm still waiting on my bug reports to get fixed | 05:41 |
| maxamillion | Ghostvirus: ohhhhh, yeah ... none of the ones i mentioned have that | 05:41 |
| maxamillion | Ghostvirus: you want exaile | 05:41 |
| maxamillion | !info exaile | 05:42 |
| ubotu | exaile: flexible audio player, similar to Amarok, but written in GTK+. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.8+debian-1ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 294 kB, installed size 1408 kB | 05:42 |
| maxamillion | yeah ... that one | 05:42 |
| Ghostvirus | maxamillion: haven't tried exaile in a while | 05:42 |
| maxamillion | Ghostvirus: it minimizes to the tray ... its not really light weight, but its really good and the main performance hit is just the initial load time because its written in python | 05:42 |
| maxamillion | errr... i'm pretty sure its written in python | 05:42 |
| Ghostvirus | actually quod libet is python too iirc | 05:43 |
| maxamillion | ah, ok | 05:43 |
| Netham46 | is python a hard language to learn? | 05:43 |
| maxamillion | well there you go | 05:43 |
| maxamillion | Netham46: negative, python is a wonderful language that is more fun to learn then it is difficult | 05:43 |
| Netham46 | Ok | 05:43 |
| Ghostvirus | maxamillion: actually the real reason i like quod libet is you can customize the interface nicely | 05:44 |
| maxamillion | Netham46: its my favorite language to code in, i find it fun .. but its not perfect for all situations | 05:44 |
| Netham46 | I know lets see... VB, Basic, Z80 ASM, Ti-Basic, I think there is another..... | 05:44 |
| Netham46 | mIRC scripts. :D | 05:44 |
| Ghostvirus | maxamillion: you can set up the panes differently. i have mine set up so that it goes Genres > Artists > Albums | 05:44 |
| maxamillion | Netham46: i think mIRC scripts are perl ... but i could be wrong | 05:44 |
| maxamillion | Ghostvirus: interesting | 05:44 |
| maxamillion | Ghostvirus: i don't do much media on the computer ... just listen to net radio streams with xmms | 05:45 |
| Ghostvirus | i suppose i'll have to look into Exaile again though | 05:45 |
| Netham46 | maxamillion, mIRC scripts are mIRC scripts. It's its own language, iirc. | 05:45 |
| maxamillion | Netham46: ah, ok ... that's not entirely uncommon | 05:45 |
| Ghostvirus | i'm wary of amarok clones | 05:45 |
| curiogeo | Has anyone installed SWAT on thier XUB server and what were the steps? | 05:46 |
| maxamillion | !swat | 05:46 |
| ubotu | samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT | 05:46 |
| maxamillion | curiogeo: that second link should have documentation ... but i have not personally ever installed it | 05:47 |
| curiogeo | maximillion: !swat at the command line | 05:47 |
| Ghostvirus | hrm, exaile seems to have a lot of gstreamer dependencies too... | 05:48 |
| maxamillion | Ghostvirus: oh ... huh | 05:48 |

| Ghostvirus | hrm, i'm a little confused on how to get sonata working | 06:30 |
| Ghostvirus | can i use sonata to access music on my xp partition? | 06:35 |
| kalikiana | Ghostvirus, I don't know sonata. But opening a file from an ntfs partition is easy in any program. | 06:37 |
| Ghostvirus | kalikiana: yeah, i've got my ntfs partition mounted and writable, i was just wondering if sonata would have a problem with it | 06:39 |
| Chikubu | its a music player for mpd | 06:40 |
| Ghostvirus | it says it's "connected" but the song list doesn't populate | 06:40 |
| kalikiana | Ghostvirus, Actually sonata shouldn't even notice that is's ntfs. ;) | 06:40 |
| Chikubu | does sonata use a library? if so youll have to add files to the library, or open a file directly | 06:40 |
| kalikiana | Ghostvirus, Problems with ntfs in general may be related to wrong permissions. | 06:40 |
| Ghostvirus | Chikubu: there doesn't seem to be a way to manually add files | 06:42 |
| Ghostvirus | i can't figure this thing out at all :-/ | 06:45 |
| Chikubu | try a diffrent player, right click on file and see if it has open with option | 06:46 |
| Ghostvirus | quod libet and audacious work fine... i think i must be missing some important step with mpd or something... | 06:47 |
| Chikubu | ah the distro upgrade finaly finished dling :) | 06:48 |
| Chikubu | just took 4 days hehe | 06:48 |
| Ghostvirus | Chikubu: what kind of connection are you on??? | 06:48 |
| Chikubu | uninstall it and reinstall | 06:48 |
| Chikubu | dial up | 06:48 |
| Ghostvirus | Chikubu: same here :/ | 06:49 |
| Chikubu | was like 118 mb, | 06:49 |
| TheSheep | Ghostvirus: you need to update the library | 06:49 |
| Chikubu | i cant stay connect all the time had to get peice wise | 06:49 |
| TheSheep | Ghostvirus: you need to setup the music directory in /etc/mpd.conf too | 06:49 |
| kikr | how would I reinstall software? | 06:50 |
| kikr | "sudo apt-get install software" would instlal it, but how would I reinstall? | 06:50 |
| Ghostvirus | TheSheep: is there a howto about this somewhere? i didn't see anything on sonata's site | 06:51 |
| TheSheep | kikr: sudo apt-get --reinstall install software | 06:51 |
| Chikubu | apt-get remove removes | 06:51 |
| kikr | ty | 06:51 |
| TheSheep | Ghostvirus: that's not specific to sonata | 06:51 |

| J-_ | does gnome PPP work in xubuntu? if so, try that out topcat1027> | 01:13 |
| topcat1027 | when i plug it into the computer the computer's lights go on, so i know it's not the internet | 01:14 |
| test3r | topcat > your DSL - is it in a router box? or are you plugging the modem directly into the computer? | 01:14 |
| topcat1027 | plus i tried the internet at another location where i knew for sure the internet worked, and still i got nothing | 01:14 |
| topcat1027 | no it's in a router box | 01:14 |
| topcat1027 | then i plug from the router into the laptop | 01:14 |
| test3r | (aka - how many external boxes r there) OH ok thru a router. and All is auto-dcp, etc? | 01:14 |
| topcat1027 | auto-dcp? | 01:14 |
| test3r | dhcp, sorry | 01:15 |
| topcat1027 | what's auto-dhcp? | 01:15 |
| topcat1027 | i just reinstalled xubuntu (thinking it might recognize it in the setup) so everything's like it is when you first install xubuntu | 01:15 |
| test3r | you should try to set the router to very easy settings at first to get it up and running. if you dont know what that setting is - then there is a good chance it is still on Auto for you | 01:15 |
| test3r | no te page im talking about is the 192.168.0.1 | 01:16 |
| J-_ | !pppoe | 01:16 |
| ubotu | Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE | 01:16 |
| topcat1027 | so how do i change it to get off of auto | 01:16 |
| test3r | you want to leave Auto turned "On" | 01:16 |
| test3r | because it is easier for you this way at least at first | 01:17 |
| topcat1027 | ok | 01:17 |
| topcat1027 | wait just to clarify, is the router like a network thing | 01:17 |
| J-_ | !router | 01:17 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about router - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 01:17 |
| J-_ | hmm | 01:17 |
| test3r | then once you're into your network - you can change fancy things and router yourself everywheres | 01:17 |
| test3r | yes | 01:17 |
| test3r | a router = a hardware firewall = network "thing" | 01:17 |
| test3r | =) | 01:18 |
| topcat1027 | hmmm, i don't think it's a router then, maybe i'm just going directly to the modem | 01:18 |
| kafran | someone here that use aDesklets? | 01:18 |
| test3r | there is only One external box? | 01:18 |
| topcat1027 | ok, so there's a wire leading outside somewhere, which is plugged into a box, which is plugged into my laptop | 01:18 |
| topcat1027 | right | 01:18 |
| J-_ | probably a modem then. | 01:18 |
| topcat1027 | ok | 01:18 |
| test3r | ok then yes that is direct to the modem. J-_ was correct in checking the ppp settings however | 01:18 |
| test3r | if your modem is DSL i dont know if those settings still matter | 01:19 |
| test3r | I have not ran a setup as you describe yet | 01:19 |
| topcat1027 | hmmm | 01:19 |
| test3r | =( | 01:19 |
| test3r | try pingint the modem! | 01:19 |
| J-_ | pppoe > topcat1027 | 01:19 |
| J-_ | check it out. | 01:19 |
| topcat1027 | pingint? | 01:20 |
| test3r | pinging | 01:20 |
| topcat1027 | how do i do that? | 01:20 |
| test3r | type "ping 192.168.0.1" or it might be on 192.168.100.1 | 01:20 |
| test3r | or some other crazy place | 01:20 |
| J-_ | what kind of modem is it? | 01:20 |
| test3r | and how to tell im not positive yet. try typing | 01:20 |
| test3r | "ifconfig" | 01:20 |
| test3r | tell me what that says | 01:20 |
| test3r | plz =) | 01:20 |
| J-_ | !pastebin | 01:20 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 01:21 |
| topcat1027 | i can't, unfortunately | 01:21 |
| topcat1027 | i'm at an internet cafe | 01:21 |
| topcat1027 | the laptop's someplace else | 01:21 |
| J-_ | ... | 01:21 |
| test3r | Oh, OK. well then write down to check with "ifconfig" it should list all net devices in your system | 01:21 |
| topcat1027 | k | 01:22 |
| kafran | ubotu: !source install | 01:22 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about source install - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 01:22 |
| kafran | ubotu: installing from sources | 01:22 |
| topcat1027 | am i typing all these things into a terminal? | 01:22 |
| kafran | ubotu: !installing from sources | 01:22 |
| J-_ | kafran: what do you need? | 01:23 |
| test3r | yes type them into terminal any will do | 01:23 |
| topcat1027 | k | 01:23 |
| kafran | J-_: learn how to install from source :D | 01:23 |
| topcat1027 | after pinging and ifconfiging, what will this do for me | 01:23 |
| J-_ | !source | 01:23 |
| ubotu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 01:23 |
| J-_ | hmm | 01:23 |
| test3r | the one from the menu with mouse, or goto Alt+F* , log in, and do from there. but using the menu is easier to launch a terminal i suppose | 01:24 |
| test3r | topcat > after you use ifconfig command it will tell you if your device is setup & you can tell if a driver is in for it. make sure you turn the modem on, then the computer, OK? | 01:25 |
| test3r | modem 1st, let it get steady lights, then turn on computer | 01:25 |
| kafran | J-_: the source is not in repository ;x | 01:25 |
| topcat1027 | modem first, then computer, ok | 01:25 |
| J-_ | kafran: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ that's a good link, although, because careful something may break your system. Not sure what the trigger is or if there is one that'll show you how to install from source. | 01:25 |
| J-_ | !install | 01:26 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate | 01:26 |
| test3r | if linux can talk to the modem you will be able to query names of your drivers and things & see that if it needs more setup or such | 01:26 |
| topcat1027 | ok... so if it does need drivers, how do i go about getting them? | 01:26 |
| kafran | J-_: do u use aDesklets? | 01:27 |
| test3r | That - is hardware specific, and we dont know the name of the thing yet | 01:27 |
| test3r | another command - write this down - lspci | 01:27 |
| J-_ | kafran: no, is that what you want to install from source? | 01:27 |
| J-_ | !find adesklet | 01:27 |
| ubotu | Found: adesklets | 01:27 |
| test3r | that will tell you name brand and hardware #s of all things connected | 01:27 |
| test3r | write that info down for us | 01:27 |
| test3r | the crucial parts not all of it of course | 01:27 |
| J-_ | kafran: sudo apt-get install adesklets | 01:28 |
| kafran | J-_: no, I want to install pidgin from sources, the aDesklets was an other question :D | 01:28 |
| topcat1027 | ok, so do all that and come back on her later? | 01:28 |
| J-_ | oh lol | 01:28 |
| test3r | yeah with that information anyone can help you out alot more | 01:28 |
| topcat1027 | all right | 01:29 |
| test3r | topcat > good luck in it! | 01:29 |
| topcat1027 | thanks a bunch | 01:29 |
| test3r | np | 01:29 |
| topcat1027 | however, if worst comes to worse, does anyone know how to reinstall windows? | 01:29 |
| J-_ | kafran: well, again you can get a .deb from getdeg which again, may break your system and it may not be the newest. it's 2.0.1 | 01:29 |
| J-_ | getdeb even | 01:29 |
| topcat1027 | if i have windows people over here can help me out | 01:29 |
| test3r | lol, get "dereks boot-n-nuke" , wipe the hard drive, and use a WIndowsXP CD | 01:29 |
| topcat1027 | dereks boot-n-nuke? | 01:30 |
| test3r | yep | 01:30 |
| topcat1027 | how do i get that | 01:30 |
| J-_ | kafran: http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=pidgin they have 2.0.2 now. | 01:30 |
| test3r | or - if you have access - get ahold of the one Gateway uses for WesternDigital hard drives | 01:30 |
| topcat1027 | plus i used the windows xp disc before and booted up with it, it made me delete linux, which i did, but then it said some kind of error | 01:30 |
| test3r | THATS not as ez to come by tho | 01:30 |
| kafran | J-_: in the pidgin site, have a Fedore pkg, can use it on Ubuntu? | 01:30 |
| J-_ | nopers | 01:31 |
| test3r | no you must clear the disk first if you are not following steps for a "dual-boot install" | 01:31 |
| J-_ | stuff will break. | 01:31 |
| test3r | writeit to 0s | 01:31 |
| test3r | zer0s | 01:31 |
| kafran | J-_: 2.0.2 is the latest | 01:31 |

| test3r | do youhave friend with CD burner you can use? | 01:34 |
| topcat1027 | drag... i might be able to burn a cd somewhere | 01:34 |

| topcat1027 | i may | 01:34 |
| test3r | =) | 01:34 |
| J-_ | kafran: getdeb isn't canonical, it's just a website that hosts ubuntu files. | 01:34 |

| test3r | ah - i can see 'adesklets' inside synaptic. but then do i have to find the script to report my system infos? | 03:22 |
| kafran | test3r: do u want to install aDesklets? | 03:23 |
| test3r | kafran > id like to have the ability to script an overlay applet to my desktop, yes. | 03:23 |
| kafran | test3r: I sleepy 3:00 am yestarday trying to figure out it :D | 03:24 |
| kafran | test3r: cause a bug on Python, but I solve it ^^ | 03:24 |
| kafran | and a Compositor incompatibility that I dont knew ;x | 03:24 |
| test3r | =O | 03:25 |
| kafran | but its woking perfectly now :D | 03:25 |
| test3r | sounds like alot of tweeking. im not sure i have time to waste on thing - but i DO want to learn python this will help | 03:26 |
| kafran | test3r: when I find the perfect Icons for yab, I send u my desktop screen ;) | 03:26 |
| test3r | where do i get simple script to query system infos and then "printf" to screen which is prob what makes that show up over the desktop? | 03:26 |
| kafran | test3r: dont understood what u want | 03:27 |
| kafran | test3r: http://adesklets.sourceforge.net/ | 03:28 |
| test3r | on the right side of the screencap you showd us, there is an applet running displays system infos over the top of the desktop | 03:28 |
| test3r | ah Ha - Desklets. OK kewl | 03:28 |
| test3r | that meas i dont have to re-invent the wheel - nobody wants that. | 03:28 |
| kafran | test3r: that is not my screen, but in that screenshot the system monitor I think is Conky or Torsmo ;) | 03:29 |
| kafran | test3r: Wait, i will take a screenshot of mine ;) | 03:29 |
| test3r | nice - i think ill go with Conky as it appears they have tested it on *buntu | 03:37 |
| test3r | neither conky nor trsmo seem to use the adesklets pack though- how will they know where the other things are appearing so that they dont overlap? Can i move them about within the script? | 03:38 |

| R[a] ndom | lol @ tu_ | 04:22 |
| R[a] ndom | I need help guyz! <quit> | 04:22 |
| Lectus | Hello | 04:22 |
| R[a] ndom | sup? | 04:22 |
| Lectus | Is it possible to install beryl on Xubuntu? Currently I think this machine does not support it, but my new machine will come this week and I'd like to install it on that one. | 04:23 |
| R[a] ndom | yeah, I havent messed with it in a while, but its very possible | 04:24 |
| R[a] ndom | do an apt-cache search beryl | 04:24 |
| R[a] ndom | I'm not sure if its in the standard repos, but its in the ones I use | 04:24 |
| zials | according to google its possible | 04:24 |
| R[a] ndom | yeah I used to run it | 04:24 |
| R[a] ndom | but it was too slow | 04:25 |
| zials | I don't see much of a point in using it on xubuntu, the whole point is to be lightweight... | 04:25 |
| R[a] ndom | enh, I use ubuntu but don't go for only lightweight | 04:25 |
| R[a] ndom | I use amarok and azureus | 04:26 |
| R[a] ndom | I'll use big programs if they give me something more | 04:26 |
| R[a] ndom | beryl has a couple great features, sadly its too slow on my system to make it an overall gain | 04:26 |
| R[a] ndom | I really like the exposish feature, and the new alt-tab | 04:26 |
| Lectus | It's because I'm very used to XFCE. I use XFCE on this machine because it's light. But I'll use XFCE on my new powerfull machine because I like it, but I'd like also to have Beryl. | 04:26 |
| R[a] ndom | yeah, I could easily run gnome/kde, but I really like xfce | 04:27 |
| R[a] ndom | Lectus, it shouldn't be any problem to install | 04:27 |
| Lectus | Is there a working tutorial? The tutorials I tried always hanged my machine, even when it was Ubuntu or Kubuntu. Don't know if it's because this machine is very poor in RAM and GFX card. | 04:28 |
| R[a] ndom | I think its in the repos. like I said, go to a terminal and type apt-cache search beryl | 04:28 |
| R[a] ndom | I think it'll come up | 04:29 |
| Lectus | yep... it shows lots of packages | 04:30 |
| R[a] ndom | there you go | 04:30 |
| Lectus | I'm very confused on which one to install | 04:30 |
| R[a] ndom | the trick is to look for what seems to be the base package | 04:30 |
| R[a] ndom | lemme look at the output | 04:30 |
| R[a] ndom | yeah theres one called beryl | 04:30 |
| R[a] ndom | so thatll be it | 04:30 |
| R[a] ndom | sudo apt-get beryl install and youre done | 04:30 |
| R[a] ndom | with any luck :) | 04:31 |
| Lectus | so installing beryl would install everythin else required? | 04:31 |
| R[a] ndom | thats the idea | 04:31 |
| R[a] ndom | if it doesnt work, there might be a couple things to tweak in xorg.conf, dunno | 04:31 |
| R[a] ndom | like I said, it didnt work for me. I had 100% cpu usage at idle | 04:32 |
| Lectus | I'll try when my new machine arrives. I've already hanged this one yesterday by installing it, so today I'm configuring the system again, because I have to install it. :( | 04:32 |
| R[a] ndom | but thats probably cause I had a crappy 6600 128mb drawing 3200x1200 @ 85hz | 04:32 |
| Lectus | yes | 04:32 |
| Lectus | my machine doesn't seem to handle it well | 04:32 |
| Lectus | on Ubuntu it's so much easier | 04:33 |
| R[a] ndom | easier than xubuntu? | 04:33 |
| Lectus | it just requires to click on desktop effects or something | 04:33 |
| Lectus | and it activates it | 04:33 |
| R[a] ndom | id say its pretty easy here, go to package manager, install beryl, then run it | 04:34 |
| Lectus | I wish on Xubuntu it was like that | 04:34 |
| Lectus | yeah... maybe I'll this on my new machine that will arrive | 04:34 |
| Lectus | on that one I'm pretty sure that beryl works | 04:34 |
| Lectus | So, i'll try first with Xubuntu | 04:35 |
| Lectus | if it doesnt work, i install ubuntu and then beryl | 04:35 |
| Lectus | it's very hard even to install Ubuntu here. Have anyone experienced slowness on Ubuntu installation too? | 04:36 |
| Lectus | on the other side Xubuntu was one of the fastest installations I've seen | 04:37 |
| zials | heh, that was part of the reason I swtiched to Xubuntu | 04:37 |
| R[a] ndom | only reason I'm here, is cause its one of the few distros that supports xfce well | 04:38 |
| Lectus | yes... Xubuntu rocks. It's the first light distro that also looks beautifull and responsive. | 04:39 |
| R[a] ndom | tbh, I don't really like ubuntu | 04:39 |
| R[a] ndom | and I've found in unresponsive | 04:39 |
| zials | actually, I've seen lighter distros, but the often sacrifice graphical utilities | 04:39 |
| Lectus | I like Ubuntu for it's repositories and community. But Xubuntu also has it. | 04:39 |
| R[a] ndom | every time I say ubuntu, exchange it for kubuntu and xubuntu as you will | 04:40 |
| R[a] ndom | as they're the same distro | 04:40 |
| R[a] ndom | just the DE changes | 04:40 |
| test3r | this distro is beautiful | 04:41 |
| test3r | ive used it for 3 yrs now, grew up on this. | 04:41 |
| test3r | ive tried probably 5 other distros but none compare. | 04:42 |
| test3r | i made a shortcut to launch Conky on my top bar in three seconds - and it Works! I have desktop overlay of system stats now | 04:43 |
| Lectus | the only reason I would install Ubuntu was that if Beryl doesn't work on Xubuntu. But I think Ubuntu is more well done and have a few details that make it better than other *buntu. But for the advanced user Xubuntu works great. Although it doesn't have some frills available in Ubuntu. | 04:43 |
| test3r | and when i want it off i can always 'top' ad kill its ID | 04:43 |

| R[a] ndom | test3r, yeah I use conky too -> http://www.pithed.org/newscreen.png | 04:44 |
| test3r | they are still available you just choose if you want them | 04:44 |
| test3r | you knwow - gnome comes with xubuntu | 04:44 |
| R[a] ndom | as does kde | 04:44 |
| test3r | u can turn it off from launching at start if you have no apps that need it | 04:44 |
| test3r | yes it does Random | 04:44 |
| R[a] ndom | all *ubuntus are the same distro with the same repos | 04:44 |
| test3r | well - yes and no. they are the same Core (kernel etc) , and all have access to the same Repo, yes | 04:45 |
| test3r | so that means you can get thing to work on one - there is good chance it will work on other version | 04:45 |
| Lectus | yes, but Ubuntu have a few scripts and menus | 04:45 |
| Lectus | that make it easier | 04:46 |
| Lectus | for newbies | 04:46 |
| R[a] ndom | but you can just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 04:46 |
| test3r | hmmmm, such as? | 04:46 |
| R[a] ndom | and you have all of that | 04:46 |
| test3r | Random bring a good command to the table - you could do that if you Wanted | 04:46 |

| Lectus | yes... but that's what I'm saying. Ubuntu has all of it out-of-the-box. But of the not-so-dumb user or advanced user Xubuntu works just perfect. | 04:47 |
| test3r | if he wanted he could instyall a GNOME based menu ontop if he wanted | 04:47 |
| test3r | the whole point of XUbuntu tho is that it is lightweight. the minute you start using GNOME for everything it becomes not as light weight | 04:47 |
| test3r | GCC and xface can launch a WHOLE lot | 04:47 |
| R[a] ndom | test3r, the minute you use gnome, it becomes Ubuntu | 04:47 |
| test3r | Random > exactly | 04:47 |
| Lectus | test3r: I agree. Last time I used Xubuntu with Gnome and KDE apps it became as heavy as Gnome or KDE. | 04:48 |
| Lectus | But with a clean install and installing only GTK apps it's very light. | 04:48 |
| R[a] ndom | and useless ;) | 04:48 |
| R[a] ndom | I need my kde apps | 04:48 |
| R[a] ndom | as my screenshot shows | 04:49 |
| test3r | what do u need on KDE that i dont have a substitue for? | 04:49 |
| R[a] ndom | http://www.pithed.org/newscreen.png <- in that screen, filelight, kopete, and Amarok | 04:49 |
| Lectus | but I think by the time you aren't using KDE apps Xubuntu runs faster than Ubuntu/Gnome. | 04:49 |
| R[a] ndom | also K3B | 04:49 |
| test3r | Amarokplayer??? bleh, =9 i dont know wht the others do | 04:49 |
| Lectus | so it's still better | 04:49 |
| R[a] ndom | test3r, ? | 04:50 |
| Lectus | my player requeriments are "play mp3 files", so I don't need Amarok | 04:50 |
| test3r | amarok didnt do ne thing for me- it was big like WMP and had things i didnt want on screen | 04:50 |
| Lectus | XMMS looks cool | 04:51 |
| R[a] ndom | my requirements are play mp3 files and allow me to easily navigate my 100gb database of files, transfer data to ipd, etc | 04:51 |

| test3r | speaking of Cups - | 05:02 |
| test3r | I was trying to get an HP All-In-One printer to print thru Shared WInXP Shared Printer stuff | 05:02 |
| test3r | the thing prints when i hook it up to the port in the back of the laptop - directly | 05:02 |
| test3r | but id like to print from my deck | 05:02 |
| test3r | =D | 05:03 |
| test3r | anyone ever do cups stuff w/samba? | 05:03 |
| Lectus | I never got my printer to work with Xubuntu. I think Linux doesn't support it. | 05:03 |
| Lectus | one reason to still keep XP, besided games | 05:03 |
| test3r | luckily there is an HP official driver that Xubuntu has - but HP ofered me NO support for it besides telling me my prnter does not support POSTSCRIPT sent to it which doesnt matter kus linux can use Ghostscript (I think thats what causes it) and it can fake/translate it for the printer | 05:05 |
| test3r | you should check if there is a Ghostscript driver for your printer broad-range-model-number | 05:05 |
| Lectus | hmm... where can I find this info? | 05:06 |
| test3r | Why would HP make a driver - then not tell thir techs about it? | 05:06 |
| Lectus | It's a Cannon i320 | 05:06 |
| test3r | makes no sense. oh just google for your printer type followed by 'ghostscript' | 05:06 |
| Lectus | I think HP is more Linux-friendly | 05:06 |
| test3r | or CUPS | 05:06 |
| test3r | try it with the key words | 05:06 |
| test3r | se what people say | 05:06 |

| totalwormage | hehe, no it will run just fine for high end | 09:22 |
| totalwormage | then speed is what you get with xubuntu :] | 09:22 |
| ferronica | so i can use it in high end PC right | 09:23 |
| ferronica | without any problem | 09:23 |
| cellofellow | of course | 09:24 |
| Pumpernickel | It won't burn out because your system is too fast. | 09:24 |

| ferronica | but i read about xubuntu is for old PC | 09:26 |
| cellofellow | Not true, it just works better on old PCs. | 09:26 |
| cellofellow | Than Ubuntu. | 09:26 |
| ferronica | okay | 09:27 |
| ferronica | so we can use it in any PC, | 09:27 |
| cellofellow | uhuh. | 09:27 |
| cellofellow | It uses exactly the same core system as Ubuntu, just a different graphical desktop. | 09:27 |
| cellofellow | and different default apps. | 09:27 |
| ferronica | okay | 09:28 |

| matt___ | what are the requirements for xubuntu? | 10:32 |
| matt___ | i have 64MB, enough hard disk space, and i think a pentium II | 10:32 |
| Jester45 | you need 2gb storage | 10:33 |
| Jester45 | and the cpu is fine | 10:33 |
| matt___ | Jester45: i have enough storage, ram... | 10:33 |
| Jester45 | you will have to install with the alternative cd | 10:33 |
| matt___ | and the cpu is like 200-300mhz | 10:33 |
| matt___ | ok, that is no problem | 10:33 |
| Jester45 | and it should be fine then | 10:33 |
| matt___ | Jester45: link to alternative cd? | 10:33 |
| Jester45 | you might want to look into replaceing xfce's wm with fluxbox or icewm | 10:33 |
| Jester45 | http://vidd.us/downloads/xubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso | 10:34 |
| matt___ | Jester45: i wouldn't mind that, im used to gnome, so no biggie swithing for that...use gnome on my desktop...i'll try this... | 10:34 |
| matt___ | Jester45: so the 64mb ram shouldn't hurt? | 10:35 |
| === kafran [n=kafran@201.79.207.64] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Jester45 | i just say that because xfce's wm is to me one of the heavest part | 10:35 |
| Jester45 | it shouldnt be a problem | 10:36 |
| matt___ | Jester45: i hope so, using feisty ubuntu on my desktop, wanted to make this laptop usefull, windows 98 just doesn't appeal to me | 10:37 |
| Jester45 | and you can look into "swapiness" on google, it is how much linux will use your ram before useing swap | 10:37 |
| matt___ | Jester45: ahh, to keep it resposive, right? | 10:38 |
| Jester45 | well | 10:38 |
| Jester45 | if you are going to use a lot of ram you might want it to use more swap so that later it will not have only swap while starting a app | 10:39 |
| Jester45 | but if your only going to use a little at a time you can use more ram so that it seems speeder | 10:39 |
| Jester45 | at least until the ram is used up | 10:39 |
| === Jester45 has never worked on machines with that low of ram | ||
| matt___ | Jester45: oh, ok. i'll worry about that if it works. :) so do you use it? | 10:40 |
| Jester45 | TheSheep, might have a few pointers i think he has a low ram one | 10:40 |
| Jester45 | matt___, yea, i set it to use all my ram first then swap, but i have 4gb on one machine and 2gb on the other | 10:40 |
| kafran | I'm so happy, finally my desktop is +- beatyful :D http://www.1sete1.com/mng/28-06-2007-1280x1024-kafran-xfce4-adesklets.png | 10:41 |
| TheSheep | decreasing color depth allows yuo to save several megs... | 10:41 |
| Jester45 | TheSheep, when do you sleep :) | 10:41 |
| matt___ | TheSheep: how much ram you got? | 10:41 |
| TheSheep | matt___: that low-ram box I used to have had 96MB | 10:42 |
| TheSheep | I gave it away :/ | 10:42 |
| matt___ | TheSheep: hmmm...i only have 64MB, about a 200mhz pentium to, 5GB hard drive, think it will work? | 10:42 |
| TheSheep | matt___: yes, but don't exect to use more than one application at a time | 10:43 |
| TheSheep | matt___: and better use some other browser than firefox | 10:43 |
| Jester45 | matt___, if you want you couold try dsl, its pretty light it just takes a bit to get used to. but it wiil work fine for mail/web browsing | 10:43 |
| Jester45 | like dillo | 10:44 |

| matt___ | " | 10:46 |
| TheSheep | matt___: bad idea :) | 10:47 |
| matt___ | TheSheep: ??? | 10:47 |
| TheSheep | matt___: selling it as a great box | 10:48 |
| matt___ | TheSheep: lol, probably just give it away... | 10:48 |
| matt___ | TheSheep: whatever, i have this one... | 10:48 |
| Jester45 | matt___, what speeds are you getting from the iso download | 10:49 |
| TheSheep | matt___: try changing defaultdeth in xorg.conf to 16 | 10:49 |

| matt___ | Jester45: y? | 10:50 |
| matt___ | Jester45: what is yours? | 10:50 |
| Jester45 | matt___, just wondering if my server is being slow, it seems like it but i cant figure it out | 10:50 |
| matt___ | Jester45: oh, that is off your server :) | 10:51 |
| Jester45 | yea i did have every iso of xubuntu ubuntu kubuntu and edubuntu but it took to much space | 10:52 |
| matt___ | Jester45: lol, i may host them if i ever get hosting from bluehost... | 10:53 |
| matt___ | 3000GB BANDWIDTH, 1000GB STORAGE, think that'd be enough??? | 10:53 |
| matt___ | thats a lot of bandwidth, but hosting downloads a 700MB each would fill it somewhat quickly... | 10:54 |
| Jester45 | i got 80gb storage (or more if i get a new drive) and unlimited bandwidth | 10:54 |
