[03:45] no, it was just a link that if you go to it it would start a download [03:46] http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Hardware/Sound_on_the_Thinkpad_600E ? [03:50] close but this link would just go directly to a download the guy said he wrote the script [03:55] neru1, what do u want to have? [03:57] wanted to fix my sound [03:57] it was a script I think [03:58] You might try those directions to see if they work [03:59] o.k. [04:03] neru1, i installed xubuntu 7.10 recently on my 600e. [04:03] neru1, u may check a few links to fix your sound problem [04:03] neru1, here is one: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.04_Feisty_Fawn_on_a_ThinkPad_600E [04:05] how's it running for you? did you upgrade any ram . . . [04:06] neru1, no, i didnt. mine has only 228.8M [04:07] neru1, here is another one. http://www.mueller.ch.vu/misc/tp600e_en.html [04:08] stock mine had 160 I added 128 but it's so sloww . . . [04:09] neru1, everything's slow? [04:10] like when I scroll the browser page up and down it studders [04:11] neur1, take a look at the "video" session on the webpages i told u. it resolved the problem easily. [04:13] neur1, change color 16-bit. [04:13] neru1, to 16 bit. [04:17] o.k. I'll try that [04:17] right now I'm useing a puppy live CD [04:19] anyone got compiz working good in Xubuntu? [04:20] thanks for the halp I gotta go try some things [04:25] hi, anyone using vnc viewer applications on xubuntu? [04:55] hi guys. I'm setting up a digital photoframe based on xubuntu, and I have a couple of questions [04:56] firstly, I want to be able to start feh (my chosen slideshow program) from cron [04:56] the problem is that when I try to do that, it can't find the correct display and dies [04:57] I'm unsure whether this is a standard cron thing or specifically feh, but does any one have an idea? [05:10] E: var/apt/archives/foo2zjs_20070625-0ubuntu1.1_i386.deb: files list file for package `foo2zjs' is missing final newline [05:16] hey whats everyones favorite feed reader [05:16] firefox [05:18] Does xubuntu have problems with compiz fusion? [06:57] Someone recommend me a newsreader [06:59] try pan :) [06:59] Hello [06:59] !hi [06:59] Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! [06:59] What pakage I have ti install to play mpeg's on Xubuntu 7.10 with totem? [06:59] package* [07:00] libxine-mpg? or... somthing similar... [07:01] you have to enable all the repositories [07:03] I've enable [07:03] open sybaptic - click on settings - then repositories and check all the boxes in the first tab except source cod - close that - then click an mp3 file and totem will ask to download the right codec. :) [07:03] oh, I'll try [07:04] what happens when you click a mp3 file then? [07:28] can someone tell me why I don't find Stellarium with synaptic? [07:37] PeckaH: have you enabled all the repositories? - stellarium will be in universe I think [07:40] yes, it says it's in the universe [07:41] best of luck then :) [07:41] I must have done something wrong with the sources :/ [07:42] oops - PeckaH - just to check - xubuntu has different repositories and one is called universe - did you know that...? [07:42] stellarium ... universe just making sure :) [07:42] oh? [07:43] ah, yeah, I knew that :F [07:43] k [07:44] or I didn't understand your sentence [07:44] so "ubuntu universe" ~ "xubuntu universe" [07:45] I have installed xubuntu but once the after loading of the xubuntu progress bar the screen would go blank leaving a little red box with 'out of range 60hz/64khz' ...would that mean I should start from save mode and reconfigure the xserver or is it something else...i have never encountered this situation before with previous versions of xubuntu [07:45] yep - apart from the window manager they are about the same - core wise [07:46] video card driver I would think === nixternal is now known as _nixternal [09:59] I've tried numerous install of Xubuntu, and everytime I end up with this bug, where [09:59] I've tried numerous install of Xubuntu, and everytime I end up with this bug, where when [10:00] I've tried numerous install of Xubuntu, and everytime I end up with this bug, where when I try to open a Terminal, it logs out into the boot scripts and them back to login....but I can't open and use a Terminal normally. Is this a bug? Is there a fix for this? [11:09] Hello everyone [11:10] i tried installing fiesty on my sis's pc a pentium 3 150 somthing ram...but the installation gets stuck on some lib file [11:10] i checked the integrity on my computer and it was fine :/ [11:21] Hi people, anyone knows how I can change the DPI settings in xubuntu? [12:54] I have installed xubuntu 7.10 on a pentium 2 (btw, great!).With generic kernel it doesn't shut down, with 386 one it shuts down, and i don't undertand why... [14:07] hi [14:08] where can i find installation direction for xubuntu 7.10 and beryl? i'm getting all edgy wiki's :) [14:14] ? [14:29] hi [14:30] who know chinese? [14:48] !cn [14:48] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [15:51] anyone know how to get xterm running with vncserver? my ~/.vnc/xstartup script does not seem to kick in? [16:59] Pumpernickel: are you around [17:00] hi, for some reason since i upgrade from feisty to gutsy my xfwm4-window-titles just show strange rectangles instead of characters, any idea why that could be? [17:01] actually regardless of what theme i use [17:01] probably missing the graphic file it calls for [17:02] or the font [17:02] a graphic file for the window title? (i mean it should say something like "Mozilla Firefox") [17:02] hmm, the font... could be [17:03] ochosi: not sure what the window tiles were bro, but yea, alter the font that it calls for [17:03] magic_ninja: ok, actually you were right, thanks man! [17:04] np [17:06] magic_ninja: hm? [17:07] magic_ninja: if you're still there, i have another major problem [17:08] magic_ninja: each time i log out of xfce it forgets everything (this problem is new, only since yesterday). regardless whether i change window-manager config or configure any program [17:08] magic_ninja: something must be wrong with my session but i can't figure out what [17:11] or anyone else on this problem? [17:13] It was saving your session properly before yesterday? [17:14] Pumpernickel: yep, it's really not just about the session. e.g. gmusicbrowser forgets the library settings and deluge forgets my torrents. both progs are empty on x-session restart [17:15] Sounds like a permissions problem on their config dir. [17:16] Pumpernickel: could be. but also stuff like changing the window-titles font-size is not being remembered [17:17] Pumpernickel: it rather seems like a huge permission mess... and i dont even have any clue why that is [17:17] Again, sounds like a permissions problem. If they can't write out the changes to their config files, they can't keep the settings. [17:17] Were you doing anything with 'sudo' yesterday? [17:18] You may have accidentally overwritten something. [17:18] Pumpernickel: hm, well to be honest i didn't do anything specific yesterday. business as usual. didn't install anything and didn't do any major changes. [17:19] Pumpernickel: so it must be one small thing i did [17:19] Pumpernickel: i also had a look into the users and groups interface but couldn't find anything suspicious there [17:19] Pumpernickel: is there a way to easily reset my user privileges? [17:22] Easily? Nope. [17:23] funny. now if i try to run users and groups it says "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file." [17:23] Is there a way to install only kdebase and not all the junk that goes with it like kate? I was thinking of just doing a dpkg --remove --force on each of the other package, but worried it could break stuff [17:24] really only need access to kcontrol :-/ === joetheodd_ is now known as joetheodd [17:24] D--: is qt3-qtconfig not enough [17:24] TheSheep: sadly, nope, it's not :-/ [17:25] hey I have a quick question, I am trying to install Xbuntu on the Eee PC and I was wondering where I need to go to make it where I can drag the windows up past the edge of the screen so I can see the buttons [17:25] there's a couple things qt3-config didn't really handle, specifically icons and some of the extra features of the qt theme [17:25] sorry if I interrupted anything [17:26] taishi21004: buttons? [17:26] like on the install screen, to go forward and backwards [17:26] * TheSheep blinks [17:27] taishi21004: ah, screen too small to fit the windows? [17:27] because the screen is so small I can't see them, and in Ubuntu there was a simple way of moving windows up past the edge of my screen and leaving there there, I did it by disabling graphical effects [17:27] yeah [17:28] taishi21004: I'm afraid you can't move windows over the top edge [17:29] taishi21004: try setting smaller default font in the user interface settings [17:29] okay [17:31] one more question, people on the Eee user forums are saying that you should use ext2 instead of ext3 when installing to minimize disk writes due to a flash hard dirve [17:31] however there seems to be a lot of debate [17:32] any advice there? [17:32] taishi21004: not sure, there are some options to tweak commit time and such [17:32] taishi21004: you'll want to mount tmp as tmpfs though [17:33] alright [17:33] taishi21004: I have one box with flash drive (a thin terminal) and I use home directory mounted in ram and unpacked at boot there [17:34] ah okay [17:34] that makes sense [17:34] taishi21004: works fine as long as you don't want to tweak settings or save anything :) [17:35] it would be probably possible to make something better using unionfs [17:36] alright well thanks for all of your help, I'm sure I will be back on in an hour or so with another question [17:38] hah [17:39] as per my earlier kdebase question [17:39] easy solution [17:39] copy kcontrol to /usr/local/bin [17:39] then remove kdebase :) [17:39] it works fine even without it installed [17:43] How do I disable the system beep? It's getting annoying. [17:45] Also, Abiword is installed yet the add/remove thingy says it's not. I don't need it since I installed OOo (OpenOffice.org), so how do I uninstall it? [17:47] anyone home? === _nixternal is now known as nixternal [18:32] Hello [18:33] is xubuntu under the GPL? [18:33] jaybird7, partly [18:34] jaybird7, some of it's applications are, others use other open source licenses, and some parts (drivers and stuff) aren't open source [18:34] hi [18:34] Hi centzon|-_- [18:35] vinze : okay, the drivers and stuff that aren't open source, do i need to read those licenses too? is it legal to use those in this manner? [18:35] in the US === centzon|-_- is now known as centzon [18:35] jaybird7, yes, it's legal to use everything in Xubuntu [18:36] vinze : okay thanks [18:36] alright, thank you :) have a nice time [18:36] bye now [18:36] Bye :) [18:37] :) [18:37] is it ok if i just ask a question right here? [18:38] !ask | centzon [18:38] centzon: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [18:38] well, i was that in and of itself is a question..........but you know, a xubuntu one [18:38] So yes :) [18:38] anyways [18:38] whats teh best way to install ubuntu in an old system [18:38] centzon, you mean Xubuntu I suppose? [18:38] centzon, how much RAM does that system have? [18:39] i have an old windows me computer with 128mb ram [18:39] really annoying residual graphics above my system tray... have anyone else experienced this? running xfce w/o compositor [18:39] and a 1.5 ghz p4 [18:40] centzon, hmm, you could use the Alternate Install CD or add the boot parameter "only-ubiquity" when starting from the Desktop CD [18:40] does the alternate cd use less resources? [18:41] centzon, yes (compared to the desktop cd without only-ubiquity) [18:41] what was that all about? [18:41] centzon, but it is a text bsaed interface [18:41] thast fine, if theres a guide somewehre i dont mind reading [18:41] or would i be all on my own? [18:42] centzon, I suppose a quick search will turn up plenty of results, Xubuntu's installation works the same as Ubuntu's, so... :) [18:42] got it [18:42] thanks [18:42] np :) [18:43] damn, that's racist... [18:44] acalbaza, ? [18:44] vinze : bad joke... [18:44] :P [20:24] Could anyone tips me of a player with winamps medialibrary-abilities? Meaning that i can play mp3 "remotely" and dont have to download them to the xubuntu machine [20:24] RandyboY, I believe XMMS is very WinAmp-like [20:24] RandyboY, Almost any of the players can listen to a stream [20:24] RandyboY, if "remotely" means DAAP then I know Rhythmbox does that too [20:26] Ok, different answers here :-) Maybe i didnt express myself good enough :-) What i meant was i want to play mp3 files located on another machine on my network. Not a stream [20:26] RandyboY, how are they shared on the network? [20:27] Oh, sorry, on a windows xp machine [20:27] You could use samba [20:27] and than just play them like they were local [20:28] so youre saying there isnt players able to play windows shared mp3's? [20:29] RandyboY, depends on how you share them on Windows, mostly it is possible [20:30] RandyboY, for example, Limewire and iTunes share using DAAP, and I can play those songs on my brother's Windows XP pc with Rhythmbox [20:30] vinze, all the mp3's are in a shared folder on the win xp machine [20:30] ok, ill try rythmbox then :) [20:30] RandyboY, I don't know Windows terminology, is "shared folder" using SMB or something? somerville32 mentioned Samba [20:31] If you share the folder, you can access it on linux with Samba [20:31] !shares [20:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about shares - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:31] !share [20:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about share - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:31] :/ [20:31] !samba [20:31] 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 [20:31] :D [20:31] ok, ill try that too if rythmbox doesnt solve the issue :) [20:31] RandyboY, most likely Rhythmbox won't if you haven't set your music up to be shared with DAAP [20:32] RandyboY, so I'd try somerville32's advice first [22:15] hey guys [22:15] Heya [22:29] hey. [22:29] sometimes (30-50% chance to happen...) when I stop playback in a media player or some sound finished playing I get rather loud white noise on the sound channel. this noise can only be stopped by a) playing another sound and hoping it goes into the other 50% or b) by playing a sound in a media player and instead of stopping the track, just pausing it. any suggestions on how to fix that? currently using HD onboard sound on a nforce630a board (giga [22:30] Ask crimsun :] [23:01] sup all [23:25] who know chinese?
