[00:20] <tuga3d> hi all!
[00:20] <tuga3d> does anybody uses blender?
[00:20] <evil_tech> whats blender
[00:21] <tuga3d> www.blender.org
[00:21] <evil_tech> nifty
[00:24] <tuga3d> ? what's nifty?
[00:24] <tuga3d> i don't know the word, sorry.
[00:24] <evil_tech> nifty= cool
[00:25] <tuga3d> :)
[00:26] <tuga3d> i've just compile the latest svn source of blender and i'm having a little problem, and if someone here uses it i could compare
[00:47] <neur1> hello again
[00:54] <neur1> anyone else trying to use xubuntu with a thinkpad?
[00:54] <crimsun> I've used an X41 pretty consistently with several Xubuntu releases
[00:55] <neur1> I have an old one and have sound issues (600E)
[00:55] <evil_tech> thinking about putting it on my T40
[00:55] <crimsun> neur1: namely, "it doesn't work" or "no sound card detected"?
[00:55] <evil_tech> thats a common issue with the 600e
[00:55] <neur1> lol yes
[00:55] <evil_tech> xubuntu mis identifies the soundcard
[00:56] <crimsun> neur1: right, fairly easily resolved.  Use http://trilug.org/~crimsun/tp-init-snd-cs4236.sh
[00:56] <neur1> ebay special
[00:56] <crimsun> neur1: also, make sure fast/quick/easy boot is /disabled/ in bios.
[00:56] <neur1> did the bio's thing
[00:57] <crimsun> evil_tech: err, no, it doesn't misidentify it.  It's a resource clash with non-compliant hardware.
[00:57] <crimsun> pretty common back then, and sadly, even today.
[00:57] <evil_tech> oh
[00:59] <evil_tech> the place i got the fix from has the problem labeled wrong
[01:00] <neur1> whoa is that a link to a file to download?
[01:00] <crimsun> neur1: yes.
[01:01] <crimsun> neur1: it's a community-written script that I modified for *buntu quite some time ago.
[01:01] <neur1> do i save or open with less (default)?
[01:01] <tuga3d> how do i share an internet connection in xubuntu?
[01:02] <crimsun> neur1: save it.
[01:02] <neur1> o.k.
[01:03] <crimsun> (you'll need to execute it with sudo)
[01:03] <neur1> open a terminal?
[01:03] <alain> Unable to contact the Xfce Trash service. anyone know something about this ?
[01:05] <neur1> crimsun, how do I execute?
[01:06] <crimsun> neur1: sudo bash tp-init-snd-cs4236.sh
[01:07] <neur1> what if I get no file or directory
[01:07] <neur1> how do I point it to the file
[01:08] <crimsun> neur1: did you download it to your desktop?
[01:08] <neur1> it's on the desktop yes
[01:08] <crimsun> neur1: then it probably needs to be `sudo bash ~/Desktop/tp-init-snd-cs4236.sh`
[01:09] <crimsun> I don't recall offhand if the Desktop entry has the same dirname
[01:10] <neur1> still no file found
[01:10] <crimsun> find ~ -name 'tp-init-snd-cs4236.sh'
[01:11] <crimsun> (what does that command return?)
[01:12] <neur1> - /home/neuro: is a directory
[01:13] <crimsun> you need to copy and paste verbatim what I typed above
[01:13] <neur1> including find?
[01:13] <crimsun> yes.
[01:13] <crimsun> the entire command /exactly/ as I typed it.
[01:14] <neur1> nothing it goes to a new line
[01:14] <crimsun> ok, now replace the '~' with '/'
[01:15] <neur1> permision denied
[01:27] <crimsun> neur1: for which command?
[01:29] <neur1> when i changed ~ to /
[01:31] <neur1> find / -name 'tp-init-snd-cs4236.sh'
[01:40] <neur1> should I move it to a home file?
[01:40] <crimsun> just download it again and save it to your unprivileged user's home directory
[01:48] <neur1> so just leave it on the desktop for now?
[01:48] <crimsun> right, and then run the original command I gave you (using ~/Desktop)
[01:49] <neur1> instead of find
[01:49] <crimsun> yes
[01:54] <neur1> this? ~/desktop ~ -name 'tp-init-snd-cs4236.sh'
[01:54] <crimsun> no
[01:54] <crimsun> sudo bash ~/Desktop/tp-init-snd-cs4236.sh
[01:55] <crimsun> the coffee shop is closing here, so I need to go
[01:55] <neur1> o.k. thank you
[02:02] <merovingian58> if anyone has some experience with my problem, i'd appreciate some help.  my roommate is trying to install ubuntu, and I am trying to install xubuntu.  i've tried the installer and the alternate installer for version 7.10.  We both get the installers to start, and then about 3/4 of the way through the install, our laptops go to a black screen and the install stops dead.  any advice???
[02:28] <s2welee> I am noticing that the battery monitor seems to use quite a bit of processor power.  Has anyone else noticed this?

[02:36] <s2welee> merovingian58:  I had a similar issue and I could not ever get around it.  I ended up installing 7.04 with no issues.  I am not sure why, but it might be worth a shot.
[02:37] <merovingian58> thanks for that.  i'm going to try it!
[02:39] <s2welee> I cannot assure you that it will work, but all of my 7.04 installs have gone much better than 7.10.  Good luck!
[03:45] <mortal1> let me rephrase that, can anyone tell me how to reconfigure x like it did when i installed xubuntu (alternate install)
[04:13] <homebrewcider> can someone tell me how to check if my video card is properly identified and using the appropriate drivers please?
[04:19] <homebrewcider> sorry DC, can someone tell me how to check if my video card is properly identified and using the appropriate drivers please
[04:26] <mortal1> could someone please tell me how to install the whole OO.org suite, and make it so that OO sees the sun jdk I've installed from repositories and doesn't ask for gcj
[04:27] <homebrewcider> install OO from system>add/remove
[04:27] <homebrewcider> worked for me
[04:28] <mortal1> homebrewcider, that installs gcj, I have sun's jdk already installed
[04:28] <homebrewcider> ah okay
[04:28] <mortal1> i do not want gcj on my machine, as it is the spawn of satan...
[04:30] <homebrewcider> can someone tell me how to check if my video card is properly identified and using the appropriate drivers please
