Change the value of my DPI setting? [06:23] Bausch: yes [06:24] like lets say 1280x1024 or higher [06:24] Ben_Cs: It's set to 96 at the moment and I have a 1280x1024 17" display [06:25] hmmm. why do you want the icons in thunar to be microscopic then? [06:26] I just want to be able to see more files in Thunar when viewing in list view [06:26] Setting my font size to 6 was just an exageration of what's going on, heh [06:27] sounds like you need a way to hide the icons [06:27] But yeah, ideally I want the sizes of icons to be the same height as text at 9pt font [06:28] Ghostvirus: Is that easy to toggle? [06:29] Bausch: No. It's not in Thunar's options. I imagine you'd have to patch it or something. [06:30] Ah well maybe I'll just try to live with it for now. [06:32] Bausch: is there a particular reason you want to view so many files all at once? [06:32] Yeah, mostly to browse my mp3 directories because there is no real "good" media player with a media library function [06:33] what apps have you tried? [06:33] I have tried Amarok but it didn't feel "right" in gtk/xfce. So I also installed Meta Tracker hoping it can index all my files so I can search for mp3s easily [06:33] But I can't figure out how to use wildcards, and there's no documentation about wildcards anywhere on the web [06:34] if you haven't already, you should try quod libet [06:34] i used to use it and it was really nice [06:35] Does it allow itself to be controlled from the command line? [06:35] I'm used to winamp's global hotkeys and to do the same thing in audacious i can bind a key to "audtool seekrelative +20" etc [06:36] hm, i don't know. i never tried. [06:37] hm, well perhaps you can help me with one other question I have [06:38] i use audacious now, mostly because i don't have enough music to warrant using a library-based player [06:38] When browsing in detailed list view, is it possible to use the keyboard to change what order to sort things by? [06:38] I can edit the menu accelerator in icon view to bind key combos, but those keycombos only work in icon view, not detailed list [06:39] If I can make thunar save the view setting for each directory, that would work as well [06:40] i'm not sure thunar can save different view settings for different directories [06:41] I think i read the same thing somewhere on the xfce mailing list, that's why I was hoping the other thign I was trying to do was possible [06:41] lol [06:42] yeah, thunar's pretty minimal, but then again it's meant to be [06:42] Yeah but things like integrated search would be really useful [06:43] I hate having to start up nautilus --no-desktop every time I want to do something a little more complicated [06:43] well, the whole philosophy behind it is "it's a file manager, and only a file manager" === hyper__ch [n=hyper@220.230.62.81.cust.bluewin.ch] has joined #xubuntu [06:44] if you want a gui for searching, catfish is pretty handy [06:45] Yeah it works pretty well. My only complaint is it still doesn't allow me to use wildcards on metatracker or beagle [06:45] (and strangely beagle does allow wildcards now, but catfish refuses and it says that wildcards are not supported for that backend) [06:45] Maybe I should see if there's a newer version now === CoRnJuLiOx [n=jrtuvera@cable-202-8-239-207.d-one.net] has joined #xubuntu === steve___ [n=steve@kit-dhcp1.porchlight.ca] has joined #xubuntu [06:46] Ghostvirus: Do you have any experience customizing the tasks list panel?

[06:56] ive read that it can be done by clicking on the icon and sure it says unmount but it still never does return the player to unmounted [06:56] actually sorry not a real ipod mines a Chipod :) === CoRnJuLiOx [n=jrtuvera@cable-202-8-239-207.d-one.net] has joined #xubuntu [06:57] but no double no [06:58] as a matter of fact my player is on the fritz right now [06:58] I should really update my rockbox too, the software i'm using is almost a year old [06:58] its reading format error and i lost half my files [06:58] Maybe that's the problem lol [06:58] regarding me [06:58] and i cand find how to reformat under ubuntu? [06:58] Bausch: yeah, upgrade your firmware! [06:59] i do have a couple of commands to get me started from someone [06:59] but thats it [07:00] i went and checked them out in manpages and it said one of them wasnt for mountable discs so i dont know why i was given it [07:00] it made me think twice about the advice all together [07:00] aztec13: you mean reformat your ipod? [07:00] chipod yes reformat my chipod? [07:00] is it fat32? [07:01] Don't most chipods just behave like an ordinary usb drive? [07:01] that would be widows [07:01] most usb devices are formatted for fat32 [07:02] and actually i took it down the mountain to the internet cafe and did it with xp and it said it worked but just as qik a box popped upen saying it was done [07:02] I think that's normal for doing "quick format" [07:02] i have done it before so i know what it looks like when it really is done and this wasnt it [07:02] Maybe you should try the thorough (?) mode [07:03] so i really want to try under linux somehow since xp didnt do anything === CoRnJuLiOx [n=jrtuvera@cable-202-8-239-207.d-one.net] has joined #xubuntu [07:04] i think possibly it coulld be due to the fact i forget to unplug my player when i turn my system off and start it up.i know thats not good for it [07:04] whats the thorough mode?

The one that was in Xubuntu when I installed it, I'm sorry to admit, I liked because it worked pretty much like the Windows search utility, which is the kind of ease of use I was looking for. === shirish [n=shirish@59.95.9.50] has left #xubuntu [] [04:47] I wasn't under the impression that it was doing this indexing business...I gave it a directory and a string to match and said "go." But I suppose it might have been. [04:48] Far as I can tell, it disappeared when I did a sudo aptitude -f install due to having misunderstood part of a guide for accomplishing something or other. [05:00] I had kind of hoped that at least finding out what it IS would be fairly simple if anyone had a fresh enough install of Xubuntu that the utility was still there. [05:03] Kilroo: metatracker? [05:04] Kilroo: or the catfish? === siofwolves [n=s@unaffiliated/siofwolves] has left #xubuntu ["] [05:07] I suppose my best guess so far is that it was Catfish, I think. The screenshots seem the closest. I just really hadn't thought it was using an indexing thing (don't know WHY I assumed that, really) and I haven't come across any way to make Catfish do a full-text search without some sort of indexing thing. If Catfish would use fgr that'd be just about perfect for my purposes. === wlfwhiterabbit [n=wlfwhite@host-84-222-48-133.cust-adsl.tiscali.it] has joined #xubuntu [05:10] hi! how can i see how much ram is being used? [05:12] wlfwhiterabbit: linux always uses all the ram available [05:13] if i write "free" in a shell and then press "enter" i have the answer i'm searching for [05:13] There's the system load monitor for the xfce toolbars... [05:13] Kilroo: I think that catfish can use metatracker under the hood, which in yurn uses index [05:13] TheSheep: eventually yes [05:13] Ben_Cs: no, it always uses all the ram [05:14] But for some reason it can only show these little graphical representations. I kinda miss xLabel and xStatsClass. [05:14] s/yurn/turn [05:14] TheSheep: it doesn't cache all the MEM at once. When you use apps, then it casches. no? [05:14] Ben_Cs: "cache"? [05:15] Ben_Cs: linux doesn't cache the memory, it caches *into* the memory [05:15] TheSheep: that's what i ment [05:15] Ben_Cs: it uses all the memory for buffers and cache [05:16] Ben_Cs: always [05:16] Ben_Cs: when you run a new application that needs additional memory, the buffers and cache are made smaller [05:17] TheSheep: but sometimes i look at the memory usage and i see that some of it used by apps, some by cache and some buffered, but some is free aswell [05:18] Ben_Cs: the free part is very small [05:19] Ben_Cs: it's left there to have some margin, so that the system doesn't have to change the cache size all the time [05:19] TheSheep: that's what i said: at the beginning it's very big. "eventually" it's small :) === nikolam [n=nikola@adsl-211-220.eunet.yu] has joined #xubuntu [05:22] BBL === Smygis [n=smygis@e611.cust.vannas.net] has joined #xubuntu === papageorgio [n=papageor@66-191-213-066.dhcp.spbg.sc.charter.com] has joined #xubuntu === papageorgio [n=papageor@66-191-213-066.dhcp.spbg.sc.charter.com] has left #xubuntu ["Konversation] === skarevoluti [n=manuel@cable201-232-172-86.epm.net.co] has joined #xubuntu [06:05] hi [06:06] I've a problem mounting a usb drive [06:06] can someone help me?

[11:15] i dont but it would be easy [11:17] nikolam: I do [11:17] What method do you use? [11:18] crtypsetup with luks, and pammount [11:19] basically I have a 8gb file which gets mounted through a loopback filesystem whenever I login [11:22] As I see there is no way on linux to make encryption work throught file system, like ntfs on win [11:22] If we dont have Raiser4 unstable on mind [11:22] so you want total encryption? [11:22] Whole partition or file and then mount [11:23] I would like ntfs behavior. only for some files [11:23] you can get total encryption, it is a pain though [11:23] zoredache: Do you have ability to make that file which is encrypted dinamically sized? [11:23] the ntfs way isn't partiuclarly secure... There are many ways that it leaves unecrypted fragments of files around where it can be seen [11:24] no, but resizing it wouldn't be that painful... [11:24] Could resizing be done? [11:24] Dinamically [11:25] I don't know about dynamically... [11:25] it would take a little work [11:25] I suspect it probably can be done, I just don't know how [11:26] I suppose that it could be: make new file with encryption, copy data, delete old one. [11:26] yeah, that is what I was thinking... [11:26] Does anyone use LVM, I setup software raid without lvm [11:26] it should be possible to just make the file bigger, then do a ext3 resize [11:27] but if you do the commands wrong you loose everything [11:27] I use lvm on a couple servers [11:27] "ext3 resize"? hmmm [11:27] it is really nice to be able to make filesystem snapshots [11:27] Hmm snapshots nice [11:28] nikolam: resize2fs [11:28] but lvm+raid+encryption [11:28] But could win run on same disks where is lvm? [11:29] sure, but windows, couldn't be on the lvm partition [11:29] I thought to run win in kvm akyway but just a thougth [11:29] so you need your windows partition, your boot partition, and then lvm [11:30] oh, and if you do use lvm, that will let you resize things pretty easy [11:30] I currently have raid without lvm [11:32] someone was saying that if lvm broke i could lose all [11:32] so i stayed away [11:33] yes, it is possible that if lvm broke you could loose everything [11:33] but then if software raid broke you could loose everything, if ext3 broke you could loose everything === uptownben [n=uptownbe@line102-144.adsl.actcom.co.il] has joined #xubuntu [11:34] the answer to it all iis to simply make backups of important data because things can break [11:34] If you don't have a good backup system in place, then playing around with partiitioning and encryption isn't wise [11:38] Ok, let me say I thought to use UDF formated DVD+RW disks for backups, like on Win with nero Incd [11:39] But I think that Linux now supports only 2.0 version of UDF and many my disks are formated on 2.6 or 2.5 [11:40] I don't know much about that... I make my backups to hard drives these days. [11:40] Usb drives are so much easier to deal with [11:40] Yes.
