| vidd_laptop | xubuntu uses the xfce desktop environment, and ubuntu uses gnome | 03:14 |
| ToastMaster | Well I sent to Ubuntu.com and downloaded a ISO, burned it, and tried booting | 03:15 |
| ToastMaster | okay.. well I just want something unix based | 03:15 |
| vidd_laptop | live or alt cd? | 03:15 |
| ToastMaster | CD | 03:15 |
| ToastMaster | Something I downloaded | 03:15 |
| ToastMaster | I get this error | 03:15 |
| vidd_laptop | live cd or alt cd? | 03:15 |
| ToastMaster | sh: can't access tty: job control turned off | 03:15 |
| ToastMaster | I found this post talking about this error | 03:15 |
| ToastMaster | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=94250&highlight=job+control+turned | 03:15 |
| ToastMaster | I can't even begin to understand what they are talking about | 03:16 |
| ToastMaster | I'm installing this as a dual boot | 03:16 |
| ToastMaster | any ideas what questions I should be asking right now | 03:17 |
| ToastMaster | I have a standard Intel HP machine running XP | 03:17 |
| ToastMaster | I'm extremely new, | 03:17 |
| ToastMaster | any ideas? | 03:19 |
| vidd_laptop | actually....yes.... | 03:19 |
| ToastMaster | yes? what? | 03:19 |
| ToastMaster | :) | 03:19 |
| vidd_laptop | basicly you need to set it up so that your grub is on the master boot record | 03:22 |
| === cellofellow [n=josh@69-71-170-88.mammothnetworks.com] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| ToastMaster | what does that mean? | 03:23 |
| ToastMaster | Grub? | 03:23 |
| ToastMaster | something that I download? | 03:23 |
| vidd_laptop | grub is the bootloader | 03:23 |
| vidd_laptop | it is installed by default | 03:24 |
| ToastMaster | Is it on my CD? | 03:24 |
| vidd_laptop | yes | 03:24 |
| ToastMaster | Cool... | 03:24 |
| ToastMaster | So I do something in the BIOS? | 03:24 |
| vidd_laptop | well.... | 03:27 |
| ToastMaster | Or do I get the GRUB from windows | 03:27 |
| ToastMaster | and install it first | 03:27 |
| vidd_laptop | check your bios to make sure there is no option "protecting" the MBR (master boot record) | 03:28 |
| vidd_laptop | grub gets installed from your linux install | 03:28 |
| ToastMaster | lol... do I need to install something else before i install ubuntu? | 03:29 |
| vidd_laptop | no.... | 03:29 |
| ToastMaster | partition my drive.... | 03:29 |
| ToastMaster | ? | 03:29 |
| ToastMaster | might not be a bad idea? | 03:29 |
| vidd_laptop | just make sure that the bios is not "protecting" the MBR | 03:30 |
| ToastMaster | MBR? | 03:30 |
| vidd_laptop | Master Boot Record | 03:30 |
| ToastMaster | master boot record | 03:30 |
| ToastMaster | ya | 03:30 |
| ToastMaster | that's in the Bios on starup right? | 03:30 |
| vidd_laptop | no...Master Boot Record is the first section of your primary hard drive | 03:31 |
| ToastMaster | where do I find that? | 03:31 |
| ToastMaster | F2 on startup on In Windows? | 03:31 |
| vidd_laptop | there are bios settings on some motherboards that "protect" it by not letting anything change it | 03:32 |
| ToastMaster | ??? | 03:34 |
| ToastMaster | so do I open my computer? | 03:34 |
| ToastMaster | get another computer? | 03:35 |
| vidd_laptop | go in your bios | 03:35 |
| ToastMaster | In it right now | 03:35 |
| ToastMaster | main, advanced, security, boot, power, exit | 03:36 |
| vidd_laptop | is there a setting that says something like virus protection? | 03:36 |
| ToastMaster | 1 sec | 03:36 |
| ToastMaster | nada | 03:37 |
| ToastMaster | thanks for your time btw | 03:41 |
| ToastMaster | I'm about outt'a here. I found a Wiki for common installation problems | 03:42 |
| vidd_laptop | ToastMaster, try getting the alt cd and installing the base only | 03:42 |
| vidd_laptop | ok | 03:42 |
| ToastMaster | great | 03:42 |
| ToastMaster | thanks! | 03:42 |

| Jester45 | orbisvicis_, its a bug, i dont remeber the number but you can use an alternative terminal such as xterm or Alt+Ctrl+F1 (Alt+F7 to get back to desktop) or installing a diffrent one ie gnome's terminal or KDE's | 06:19 |

| orbisvicis | alternate/lvm | 06:34 |
| Jester45 | orbisvicis, why not try a lighter wm | 06:34 |
| j1mc | does just the terminal lag, or all windows? | 06:34 |
| orbisvicis | just windows | 06:34 |
| Jester45 | orbisvicis, have you tried fluxbox | 06:34 |
| Jester45 | !wm | 06:35 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 06:35 |
| j1mc | no, i mean, does just the terminal's window lag, or do all windows for all apps lag? | 06:35 |
| j1mc | sorry | 06:35 |
| Jester45 | !windowmanager | 06:35 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about windowmanager - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 06:35 |

| hyper_ch | is seamonkey based on FF? | 06:52 |
| gnomefreak | seamonkey is 1.1.2 latest version | 06:52 |
| gnomefreak | its built on the 1.8.0 gecko which is lower than what ff is built on | 06:52 |
| maxamillion | hyper_ch: well, i believe technically no but they are both based off mozilla | 06:53 |
| hyper_ch | http://browser.netscape.com/downloads/ | 06:53 |
| gnomefreak | mozilla is based off netscape | 06:53 |
| hyper_ch | in the Heise article they say netscape 9 beta 2 is based on FF 2.0.0.4 | 06:53 |
| gnomefreak | they may backward base it now but netscape was released long before ff 1 was | 06:54 |
| artabrahao | <maxamillion> it is too bif | 06:54 |
| artabrahao | <maxamillion> it is too big | 06:54 |
| hyper_ch | netscape goes back to a time before MSIE ^^ | 06:55 |
| artabrahao | suggestion? | 06:55 |
| hyper_ch | artabrahao: what is the problem? | 06:55 |
| artabrahao | the syslog is too big, I removed it but was not recreated | 06:57 |
| hyper_ch | artabrahao: then recreate it yourself :) | 06:58 |
| maxamillion | artabrahao: don't delete it, just clear it | 06:58 |
| maxamillion | echo " " > /path/to/syslog | 06:58 |
| maxamillion | well ... sudo | 06:58 |
| maxamillion | but yeah | 06:58 |
| artabrahao | nice, works | 07:01 |
| artabrahao | Can you help me change the date time via tty? | 07:01 |
| hyper_ch | wohoo, now I did something for Xubuntu :) | 07:03 |
| hyper_ch | the alternate-cd is now seeded more by me than I had to download ;) | 07:04 |
| hyper_ch | 686MB Download and 732MB Upload so far :) | 07:05 |
| maxamillion | lol | 07:07 |

| wbadger | hey guys what bittorrent clients do you use on xubuntu? | 07:56 |
| cellofellow | deluge-torrent | 07:56 |
| cellofellow | not in repos (used to be though) get it from getdeb.net | 07:56 |
| cellofellow | PyGTK, simple interface (like uTorrent). | 07:56 |
| wbadger | why don't they want it in the repositories? | 07:57 |
| cellofellow | no idea | 07:57 |
| sx66 | cellofellow: yes so do mine, but it only defaults to the main source, not headphones when I plug in headphones...KDE notices that and switches the input volume. I have kmix but it does not work in xfce. | 07:57 |
| keb | rtorrent is great | 07:57 |
| cellofellow | I have only one audio output. | 07:58 |
| wbadger | keb, is rtorrent ncurses based? | 07:58 |
| keb | yep | 07:58 |
| cellofellow | But if the headphone and speakers are on different ALSA devices, then you can set up something so that you control the volume of one with a a different set of keys. | 07:58 |
| cellofellow | rtorrent sounds nice for an ssh-based download session, or for seeding something continuously. | 07:59 |
| keb | i find rtorrent lean and efficient | 08:00 |
| wbadger | cellofellow, do you think the getdeb version of deluge-torrent is different than the one in their site? | 08:00 |
| cellofellow | it may be a little backdated. | 08:00 |
| cellofellow | But last I checked I couldn't find their package on their sight. | 08:01 |
| wbadger | cellofellow, ok, thanks I'll try it (they have a package here.. http://deluge-torrent.org/downloads) and thanks keb too. | 08:01 |

| keb | cool | 09:16 |
| hyper_ch | put in an email? | 09:16 |

| keb | but its not normally that way | 09:17 |
| hyper_ch | hehehe | 09:17 |
| hyper_ch | I know | 09:17 |
| hyper_ch | btw, if you don't have set a specific email address, where does cron save the output data to? | 09:18 |
| wbadger | hyper_ch, doesn't it send it to your mail in /var/mail/ ? | 09:19 |
| keb | /var/spool/mail/user? | 09:19 |
| hyper_ch | that's empty :) | 09:19 |
| keb | i have a .forward in my account in remote servers to send it to my home machine | 09:19 |
| wbadger | then it won't be after you get mail.. | 09:19 |
| hyper_ch | I thought it does always save the output when no mail-to address is given in the cron | 09:21 |
| keb | if you are root, it might save output in /var/log/cron | 09:21 |
| hyper_ch | no cron in /var/log | 09:23 |

| hyper_ch | pi3: it's a wiki... you can register yourself and correct it :) | 09:29 |

| pi3 | does xubuntu come with xfce? | 09:29 |
| pi3 | oh, well I'll see | 09:29 |
| pi3 | I mean from factory | 09:30 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: yes, Xubuntu comes with Xfce... Ubuntu with Gnome and Kubuntu with KDE | 09:30 |

| === BFTD [n=thomas@67-150-247-224.oak.mdsg-pacwest.com] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| hyper_ch | pi3: well, did you download already a cd-image? | 09:31 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: and text installer is not the same as command line install | 09:31 |
| pi3 | It's not for me, I use ubuntu. But a friend of mine wants to install xubuntu and he's not a command line friend | 09:31 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: it's all the same | 09:31 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: if you use the desktop cd it will first boot the whole system | 09:32 |
| pi3 | he's just coming to this world | 09:32 |
| pi3 | ok, better | 09:32 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: if you use the alternate install cd... you will have a text-based installer... but it's not a command line installer | 09:32 |
| pi3 | he is downloading the full system, not the alternate.. so that won't be a probem | 09:32 |
| hyper_ch | well, the desktop cd can sometimes cause problems | 09:32 |
| wbadger | pi3, it doesn't mean you don't have a graphical interface.. only that they want you to perform a command in a terminal emulator (like gnome's Terminal) | 09:33 |
| pi3 | and excelente has been corrected :) | 09:33 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: for installation the alternate cd is generally recommended | 09:33 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: thx for the correction :) | 09:33 |
| pi3 | hyper_ch: yes, I know, but this will be his first time, I don't think that starting with a text install would be the best way | 09:34 |
| keb | excelente! | 09:34 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: the text-based installer looks something like this: http://knolinux.com/images/35596-33125/Elive6.PNG | 09:34 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: you don't have fancy graphics and stuff... just text | 09:34 |
| pi3 | hyper_ch: like debian | 09:34 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: yes | 09:35 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: as said, the desktop cd may cause problems upon booting or installation... because of that the alternate cd is recommende for doing an install :) | 09:35 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: but it might be that the desktop cd works like a charm for your friend | 09:35 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: and after you have downloaded the cd-image, don't forget to check it's md5 sum and when burning it to cd, do not burn it quicker than 4x | 09:36 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: with that, you should be fine :) | 09:36 |
| hyper_ch | (except if your friend has incompatible hardware) | 09:36 |
| pi3 | hyper_ch: I hope so, if he has a problem, we'll try with the alternate... for now I think graphical is better | 09:36 |
| hyper_ch | :) | 09:36 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: you're not also tempted at using xubuntu instead of ubuntu? | 09:36 |
| pi3 | hyper_ch: heh, not really.. I like GNOME, do you use xubuntu? | 09:37 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: yes I use it | 09:37 |
| pi3 | are you a developer or something? | 09:38 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: nah, just an ordinary user... | 09:38 |
| pi3 | the important ones, the ones that collaborate with the community? | 09:38 |
| pi3 | however, I'm trying to persuade my school to adopt linux | 09:39 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: just an oridnary user... I help people here on irc and in the forums if I can... | 09:39 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: well, linux has no licence fees ;) that should be reason enough | 09:40 |
| pi3 | they are like microsoft slaves | 09:40 |
| pi3 | we use visual basic, access, win xp.. | 09:40 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: they are... but times are changing | 09:40 |
| pi3 | yep, for the final project we are using MySQL and probably c++ | 09:41 |
| pi3 | so that is better | 09:41 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: what project? | 09:41 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: I don't know any c++... just sql/html/php | 09:41 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: and a bit of java and Lotus Script | 09:41 |
| pi3 | a hardware device to identify yourself at a computer and open doors, activate a car... | 09:42 |
| pi3 | may sound stupid, but we are just in the middle of the high school | 09:42 |

| wbadger | pi3, you're lucky... at my school we learn Prolog, have you ever even heard of it? | 09:42 |
| pi3 | nope | 09:42 |
| hyper_ch | pi3: hmm, we didn't program at all :) | 09:42 |
| wbadger | pi3, see... there's a reason... it sucks | 09:42 |

| hyper_ch | still so young and already geeks? ^^ | 09:43 |
| pi3 | and | 09:44 |
| pi3 | you hyper? | 09:44 |
| wbadger | geeks is such an ugly word | 09:44 |
| hyper_ch | you prefer nerd? | 09:44 |
| pi3 | geek was a fancy alternative for nerd | 09:44 |
| wbadger | hyper_ch, nope.. it's another ugly word. | 09:44 |
| pi3 | but it is now basically the same | 09:45 |
| hyper_ch | I tend to think that nerd more of a negativ connotation than geek | 09:45 |
| pi3 | geek sounds more like a computer guy, and nerd math/freak | 09:45 |
| pi3 | don't you think so' | 09:46 |
| wbadger | hyper_ch, I tend to think both have very negative connotations .. | 09:46 |
| pi3 | where are you from wbadger? | 09:46 |
| hyper_ch | I don't think geek is that negative... but then I'm not a native english speaker | 09:46 |

| wbadger | pi3, in Israel, many kids are sent to poland during their 11th school year... | 09:56 |
| pi3 | wbadger: there's a trip to poland and then to israel, the "marcha por la vida" in en would be "march for the life" | 09:58 |
| pi3 | do you know it? | 09:58 |
| wbadger | pi3, yeah that's kinda what I meant, only we don't all travel in time for the march, since there are a lot of students sent from Israel so they are spread over the year. | 09:59 |
| pi3 | is herzliya north or south? | 10:02 |
| wbadger | it is near the sea, just a bit norther than Tel Aviv (kinda middle :P ) | 10:03 |

| hyper_ch | you mean that 20k table? | 10:06 |
| pi3 | i think so | 10:06 |
| hyper_ch | I mean that ugly desk for $ 20k or something like that | 10:06 |
| hyper_ch | but then... somehow I don't think I can get used to touch a screen... | 10:07 |
| pi3 | wbadger: prolog is weird | 10:08 |
| wbadger | pi3, try programming prolog in Hebrew.. so many bugs in software, so useless.. | 10:08 |
| pi3 | do you use the same keyboard for the 2 languages? | 10:08 |

| TheSheep | hyper_ch: nah, you even had to use a separate program, not a shell command, to copy a directory | 10:15 |
| hyper_ch | TheSheep: lol | 10:15 |
| hyper_ch | keb: embrace ^^ reminds me of a movie ;) | 10:16 |

| hyper_ch | not Pr0n but Alyssa is... 2open-minded" there | 10:17 |
| keb | good to hear | 10:17 |
| hyper_ch | shitty story but hey, it's Alyssa | 10:18 |
| keb | my desktop resolution is 800x600, but before i reinstalled it was 1024x768 | 10:20 |
| keb | is there another display setting somewhere? | 10:20 |
| hyper_ch | keb: had a look at your Xorg.conf? | 10:20 |
| keb | not recently | 10:21 |
| hyper_ch | is 1024x786 enabled in there? | 10:21 |
| TheSheep | I'd rather check the monitor sync settings | 10:21 |
| hyper_ch | keb: do what the-all-knowing-sheep says :) | 10:22 |
| TheSheep | or the graphics aperture in bios if it's intel | 10:22 |
| keb | yeah (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (hsync out of range) | 10:22 |
| keb | weird, it was working yesterday before i reinstalled | 10:23 |
| TheSheep | differnet versions of graphics drivers autodetect monitors differently | 10:24 |

| TaJMoX | Where exactly are all the menu files located? I want to remove some entries but can't find them in /etc/xdg/menus/* or in ~/.config/menus there's another spot i should look? | 10:46 |
| TaJMoX | Specifically its the Others menu - where installed wine apps go | 10:47 |
| TaJMoX | in my applications.menu the Others part is empty | 10:47 |
| anywhere | i asked more or less the same question three minutes ago | 10:47 |
| Pumpernickel | Parts of the menu are autogenerated from *.desktop files. | 10:47 |
| TaJMoX | Ah | 10:47 |
| TaJMoX | so i'll just find |grep .desktop | 10:48 |
| anywhere | is there a tool to generate .desktop files? | 10:48 |
| TaJMoX | anywhere - make a launcher | 10:48 |
| anywhere | oh yes, you're right... and is there a directory where one is assumed to store desktop files? (espacially for applications in /opt and my own programs) | 10:50 |
| TaJMoX | found a bunch in ~/.local/share | 10:51 |
| anywhere | still it is strange... alacarte for example shows KDevelop (i know its gnome), but xfce doesnt... | 10:54 |
| TaJMoX | if you want to add if you can just open up a menu file in /etc/xdg/menus | 10:58 |
| TaJMoX | and add a line like this: <app name="Tilda" cmd="tilda" icon="apport.png"/> | 10:59 |
| TaJMoX | anywhere - that would be better than using a .desktop file | 11:00 |

| cellofellow | I'd like to do two things I thought only inittab did: change my number of tty's, and change my default runlevel. | 12:02 |
| Jester45 | well | 12:03 |
| Jester45 | if you want to lower the tty you can just remove the script | 12:04 |
| Jester45 | each one has its own script | 12:04 |
| cellofellow | which script? | 12:04 |
| cellofellow | I'd be happy with only two or three. six is overkill. | 12:04 |
| Jester45 | and i guess that if you wanted to add one you could just copy one and make a new one modifiying it a bit | 12:04 |
| cellofellow | the scripts in /etc/event.d/? | 12:06 |

| Jester45 | i use firefox | 12:11 |
| Jester45 | vidd_laptop, thats a 2nd xserver | 12:11 |
| cellofellow | vidd_laptop: yes, that's gdmflexiserver, if you're using GDM. | 12:11 |
| cellofellow | just try it in the run dialog. | 12:11 |
| Jester45 | START A 2ND XSERVER | 12:11 |
| cellofellow | This does it all easy for you. | 12:11 |
| Jester45 | so much easier | 12:12 |
| cellofellow | If you push New Login when XscreenSaver asks for your password, it runs gdmflexiserver. | 12:12 |
| cellofellow | (nice trick: if you have xnest installed, gdmflexiserver --xnest runs a nested X session.) | 12:12 |
| cellofellow | An X server in an X window. | 12:13 |
| Jester45 | i got it auto login and i just start a new server wait a few seconds and switch over | 12:13 |
| Jester45 | can you full screen it? | 12:13 |
| cellofellow | gdmflexiserver will autologin if you have that setup. It's GDM. | 12:13 |
| cellofellow | Jester45: I don't know. I thjnk that's beyond it's mission. | 12:13 |
| cellofellow | Jester45: It's like being able to use a full-login embedded su. | 12:14 |
| vidd_laptop | cellofellow, it either didnt work or it crashed | 12:14 |
| cellofellow | try in a terminal, it may tell you why. | 12:14 |
| Jester45 | but wouldnt it be cool if you could fullscreen it | 12:14 |
| Jester45 | that way you get a full desktop | 12:15 |
| Jester45 | ... what about dual moniters | 12:15 |
| Jester45 | you might beable to get 4 differnt destops | 12:15 |
