| gerro | hey didn't someone release an ubuntu distribution for multimedia development? | 00:38 |
| crimsun | Ubuntu Studio (cf. #ubuntustudio) | 00:39 |
| gerro | ahh thanks | 00:39 |
| gerro | I was wondering where I could purchase a cd of that for a friend, they don't use compiz or other flashy desktop graphics from the start do they? | 00:40 |
| crimsun | 7.10 doesn't, no. | 00:40 |
| crimsun | well, it uses the default Ubuntu base. | 00:40 |
| gerro | just wondering if they installed that by default though | 00:41 |
| crimsun | crimsun@Box:~$ apt-cache show ubuntustudio-desktop |grep compiz;echo $? | 00:41 |
| crimsun | 1 | 00:41 |
| crimsun | so, no. | 00:41 |
| gerro | um it echoed 1 wouldn't that mean yes? | 00:42 |
| crimsun | no. | 00:42 |
| gerro | hmm usually does that's odd | 00:42 |
| crimsun | a "success" return value is 0. | 00:43 |

| gnat_x | is synaptic a front end for apt-get or aptitude? | 01:47 |
| thruxton | gnat_x: yes | 01:48 |
| gnat_x | both? | 01:48 |
| gnat_x | how do i specify my preference? | 01:48 |
| gnat_x | since i'm setting up my folks machine, and i want them to be able to do updates themselves, i'm using it for the first time. but the gui is driving me nuts. but i don't want to use aptitude (which is what i generally use) if its a front for apt-get. | 01:49 |
| emarkd | can anyone tell me how to stop totem from autoplaying dvds when they're inserted? | 01:52 |
| gnat_x | yes. | 01:52 |
| gnat_x | i just learned. :) | 01:52 |
| emarkd | great! | 01:52 |
| emarkd | :) | 01:52 |
| thruxton | gnat_x: I'm not sure, I use apt-get from the command line, but wouldn't the `there are updates available' taskbar thing suffice for them? | 01:53 |
| gnat_x | Settings --> Settings Manager | File Manager, Advanced tab - click configure. multimedia tab. | 01:53 |
| gnat_x | emarkd: ^^ | 01:53 |
| emarkd | gnat_x: thanks! trying it now | 01:54 |
| gnat_x | thruxton: yeah. i just want to use something from the cli. but apt-get and aptitude track packages slightly differently, and i don't want to step on synaptic's toes. | 01:54 |
| thruxton | gnat_x: yeah, stick to one method | 01:55 |
| thruxton | but I'm not sure which in your case :) as i have never used synaptic or aptitude | 01:56 |
| gnat_x | thruxton: yeah, i'm gritting my teeth and going with synaptic only. | 01:59 |
| Pumpernickel | Apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, update-manager, etc. are intercompatible. | 02:19 |
| Pumpernickel | Upgrading between releases is best done through the update-manager, but otherwise, feel free to use what you're comfortable with. | 02:21 |
| gnat_x | oh. cool. | 02:21 |
| gnat_x | that's good to know. but i thought that aptitude uninstalled unused packages at purge, instead of needing to use deborphan. | 02:22 |
| Ahmuck | k, where r the testing proceedures | 02:25 |
| Ahmuck | nm, found them | 02:28 |
| Pumpernickel | gnat_x: It does, but it separates that functionality from the others. It has to have been used to install the packages in the first place. | 02:31 |

| daurnimator | ^^ anyone able to help? | 11:56 |
| nanonyme | nikolam, you probably mean ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml, right? | 11:58 |
| nikolam | i dont know | 12:00 |
| nikolam | I dont know how to make menu editor edit menues | 12:01 |
| nanonyme | i think most of the menus are imported somewher | 12:01 |
| nanonyme | somewhere even | 12:01 |
| nanonyme | just a handful are actually xfce menus | 12:01 |
| nikolam | I would like to add application to menues. | 12:01 |
| nanonyme | yeah, that can be done | 12:02 |
| nanonyme | i think | 12:02 |
| nikolam | I just need to find what file to edit | 12:02 |
| nanonyme | it's that file i said | 12:02 |
| nikolam | file:///usr/share/xfce4/doc/C/xfdesktop.html | 12:02 |
| nanonyme | one doesn't originally exist, you can take /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml for sample | 12:03 |
| FlashWolf | 'morning guys | 12:03 |
| nanonyme | then just put it where i said and modify it | 12:03 |
| nanonyme | adding should be simple, removing stuff not that much :/ | 12:03 |
| FlashWolf | who here is using compiz-fusion and it's working properly? | 12:03 |
| FlashWolf | in xubuntu | 12:04 |
| nanonyme | i'd personally use the compositioning that comes with xfce4 myself | 12:04 |
| nikolam | i dont use compiz now. I get glitches in 2d with drawing windows. Ati 8.40 driver | 12:05 |
| nanonyme | the compositioning that's inbuilt in xfce4 seemed to work nice. it's probably more stable than compiz-fusion | 12:05 |
| nanonyme | i turned it off though since i don't really need it | 12:06 |
| nikolam | hey nanonyme when I open ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml i get the same thing as right click > edit menu on xfce menu | 12:07 |
| nanonyme | yeah | 12:07 |
| daurnimator | FlashWolf: me | 12:07 |

| FlashWolf | how did u got it? | 12:08 |
| FlashWolf | xD | 12:08 |
| nanonyme | as i said, i think they're imported somewhere outside xfce config system | 12:09 |
| daurnimator | Install it with guide in ubuntu forums | 12:09 |
| nanonyme | i haven't found out where | 12:09 |
| daurnimator | then disable xgl | 12:09 |

| ubuntu123 | HI | 17:35 |
| ubuntu123 | Hi is there a decent manpage reader about (other then typing man <program>, I'm looking for something that would show my man pages in an html pretty format | 17:36 |
| sleepwal1 | ubuntu, you could open it in the vim gui and then convert the text to html with a button. | 17:37 |
| sleepwal1 | I don't know of a man reader like you speak o f. | 17:38 |
| sleepwal1 | gvim is the vim gui | 17:39 |
| ubuntu123 | sleepwal1, yeah thats what I was hoping for :). someone told me about konqueror being able to do it, but I was hoping for something similar | 17:39 |
| sleepwal1 | okay well you need to get vim | 17:39 |
| ubuntu123 | sleepwal1, yeah I use vim often for programming, but I was hoping for something with at least some formatting, a bit easier on the eyes :) | 17:39 |
| sleepwal1 | sudo apt-get install vim | 17:39 |
| sleepwal1 | ubuntu123, vim has a feature that converts text to html | 17:40 |
| bmod | hi | 17:40 |
| sleepwal1 | then you could open in konqueror | 17:40 |
| sleepwal1 | don't man pages have hyperlinks already though? | 17:40 |
| bmod | how can i have my video driver settings stick? | 17:40 |
| ubuntu123 | sleepwal1, yes in konqueror, but I don't use that :) | 17:40 |
| sleepwal1 | oh | 17:41 |
| ubuntu123 | bmod, change your xorg.conf? | 17:41 |
| bmod | yes | 17:41 |
| ubuntu123 | did you save them as root? | 17:41 |
| bmod | i have a working xorg.conf in place | 17:41 |
| ubuntu123 | alright, what exactly is not saving? | 17:41 |
| ubuntu123 | sleepwal1, thanks for the idea, I'm looking for either a specific man page reader or something I could use in firefox. | 17:42 |
| bmod | when i reboot, xorg.conf does not seem to be change, but when it's starting x, it shows a login prompt and then automatically tells me something isn't configured right | 17:42 |
| bmod | (tries to start screen & graphics) | 17:43 |
| ubuntu123 | alright, whats the "something" | 17:43 |
| bmod | i seriously don't know, it looks like a program that probes my video devices or so | 17:43 |
| ubuntu123 | when you boot in, try doing [ALT] [F1] and see what the startup scripts are doing... | 17:44 |
| bmod | alt + f1 ? | 17:44 |
| ubuntu123 | (this would be during the splash screen) and yes | 17:44 |
| bmod | oh that shows the console output? | 17:44 |
| ubuntu123 | bmod, correct | 17:44 |
| bmod | ok, thanks, gonna try that now | 17:45 |
| bmod | hmm | 17:52 |
| bmod | ubuntu123, last thing it shows is something setting up a keymap or so | 17:52 |
| ubuntu123 | bmod, any interesting input? | 17:52 |
| bmod | i have this problem since the update to 7.10 | 17:52 |
| ubuntu123 | alright can you tell me exactly whats going wrong and what it is that you are expecting. I'm not exactly sure what your issue is just by what I know so far | 17:53 |
| bmod | now it runs fine again, but only after a reinstallation of the nvidia drivers, they seem to disappear when i reboot | 17:53 |
| ubuntu123 | alright, are the nvidia drivers restricted? | 17:53 |
| bmod | somebody here told me to use dkpg-configure, but that didn't help me | 17:54 |
| bmod | i use the drivers from the nvidia site | 17:54 |
| bmod | which worked fine until 7.10 | 17:54 |
| ubuntu123 | alright, does the restricted drivers manager give you anything? Unfortunatly linux and proprietary drivers don't always go togather :S | 17:54 |
| * ubuntu123 mutters something about broadcom wireless | 17:55 | |
| bmod | hehe | 17:55 |
| bmod | i tried that for a few hours, but i really hate it when i set a resolution to eg. 1024x786 and it jumps happily back to 640x480 | 17:56 |
| bmod | i will not start to complain about the dual monitor setup i have :) | 17:56 |
| ubuntu123 | bmod, hah alright | 17:56 |
| bmod | strange thing is, it runs great now | 17:56 |
| ubuntu123 | \o/ | 17:56 |
| bmod | but it's all gone when i reboot | 17:56 |
| ubuntu123 | mmm so every time you have to re-install the drivers? | 17:57 |
| bmod | yep | 17:57 |
| ubuntu123 | when you reboot, are the drivers still there? | 17:57 |
| bmod | i have a spare xorg.conf backup just in case some tool overwrites my xorg.conf | 17:57 |
| bmod | well i'm not sure where the driver files reside | 17:57 |
| bmod | any idea? | 17:58 |
| ubuntu123 | wherever nvidia puts them ;) | 17:58 |
| bmod | somewhere in usr? | 17:58 |
| ubuntu123 | bmod, yeah probably :S, try doing find / | grep nvidia | 17:59 |
| ubuntu123 | or something like that | 17:59 |
| ubuntu123 | sounds like your linux system is going to defaults when you boot | 17:59 |
| ubuntu123 | so its probably changing something or other that nvidia changed | 17:59 |
| bmod | for that part yes, the rest seems to run fine | 18:00 |
| ubuntu123 | just I don't have a clue what would be changing on boot | 18:00 |
| ubuntu123 | but it would be in your init scripts | 18:00 |
| bmod | well the 'screens and graphics' tool is new to me | 18:01 |
| ubuntu123 | bmod, yeah, what I think is going on is this | 18:01 |
| ubuntu123 | when you boot your system, it runs through a set of "init" scripts (initilization), I think one of those is changing something that nvidia changed to make the drivers work | 18:02 |
| ubuntu123 | ie, telling your system to use default drivers, not the nvidia stuff | 18:03 |
| bmod | ok yeah, that's what i figured out so far as well | 18:03 |
| ubuntu123 | thing is beyond that I'm clueless as to what to do to fix | 18:03 |
| bmod | aw | 18:03 |
| ubuntu123 | it would be useful to figure out what nvidia is changing | 18:03 |
| bmod | more than xorg.conf as far as i know | 18:04 |
| ubuntu123 | knowing that you could poke around the init scripts looking for something that changes it back ;) | 18:04 |
| bmod | brr :| | 18:04 |
| ubuntu123 | thats my hunch | 18:04 |
| bmod | argl, i'd be glad to 'downgrade' to my previous version | 18:04 |
| ubuntu123 | I'd ask around nvidia forums... | 18:04 |
| bmod | yes that's what i'm gonna do now | 18:05 |
| bmod | thanks for thinking with me | 18:05 |
| ubuntu123 | bmod, alright, to do that, I would just save the stuff in your home dir | 18:05 |
| bmod | hehe i will | 18:05 |
| ubuntu123 | (if you want to step back) | 18:05 |
| ubuntu123 | but if you are up to it, figure out the problem :) | 18:05 |
| ubuntu123 | and write an faq somewhere, for other lost souls :) | 18:05 |
| ubuntu123 | also see if xubuntu has a bug somewhere on your problem | 18:06 |
| bmod | i'd be happy to share when i find out | 18:06 |
| bmod | a good point | 18:06 |
| bmod | do you know where /etc/init.d/nvidia-kernel comes from? | 18:10 |
| ubuntu123 | bmod, probably from the install of your drivers, or from canonical. See if that is running when you start up | 18:11 |
| ubuntu123 | might simply be that not running ;) | 18:12 |
| bmod | hehe i hope so! | 18:12 |
| bmod | people need to comment their scripts more! | 18:13 |
| ubuntu123 | bmod, hah :) thing is I don't think that script is by open source devs | 18:15 |
| ubuntu123 | I could be wrong | 18:15 |
| bmod | well there is comment there like: # How many cards? | 18:15 |
| sleepwal1 | hey ubuntu123 how do I turn on colors in vim again? | 18:15 |
| sleepwal1 | I have the full version | 18:16 |
| sleepwal1 | Its :set something | 18:16 |
| sleepwal1 | I thought it was :set color | 18:16 |
| bmod | does /etc/rc5.d correspond with tty 5 ? | 18:16 |
| sleepwal1 | nevermind | 18:17 |
| sleepwal1 | "syn on" works | 18:17 |
| ubuntu123 | hah alright :) sorry not paying attention :) | 18:17 |
| ubuntu123 | writing a C++ wrapper over popen at the moment | 18:18 |
| brick_ | what distro (ubuntu/debian) based would you recommend if i want a really minimal install? i only need xchat, gimp, OO.org, mail and webbrowser, and compiz:P | 18:22 |
| jjmiv | ubuntu server edition | 18:23 |
| brick_ | xfce or some other light DM that can work with compiz.. (cant stand gnome og kde.. to much crap there i dont need that just takes up space) | 18:23 |
| ubuntu123 | compiz is not exaclty minimal :) | 18:23 |
| jjmiv | that way you can install x windows the way you want to as well | 18:23 |
| brick_ | ubuntu123, iknow.. but when im working in gimp with many files, compiz is just great with it app swticher stuff:P | 18:23 |
| brick_ | i was thinking e17 maybe, but tryed it a few times, was so unstable.. .. and i like xfce so much:P | 18:24 |
| brick_ | ubuntu server ed.. comes without x.org right? | 18:24 |
| ubuntu123 | brick_, if not, you can always install it :) | 18:25 |
| jjmiv | brick_: yup | 18:25 |
| brick_ | iknow. i was thinking of arch linux, but couldnt get the hang off it. struggeled long time to get the x working, its a bit to much "config" for me. dont have time to play around. just want a clean, minimal "up and working" system:P hhe | 18:26 |
| brick_ | xubuntu is great, using it right now. but it comes with so much preinstalled. | 18:27 |
| brick_ | what about suse? is there a suse distro that comes with xfce? or must i install opensuse with kde and then remove it? | 18:27 |
| jjmiv | well... | 18:33 |
| jjmiv | i like xubuntu because it gives you a lot of frills..and its debian-based | 18:34 |
| radioaktivstorm | does anyone know how to make the volume control buttons functional in xfce? | 18:42 |
| sleepwal1 | Im having issues as well radioatkivstorm | 18:46 |
| sleepwal1 | :( | 18:46 |
| sleepwal1 | I think it's a bug, because I have two PC's with xubuntu and both won't display the volume control | 18:46 |
| sleepwal1 | once in a blue moon it will actually work | 18:47 |
| sleepwal1 | but it goes away after a reboot | 18:47 |
| radioaktivstorm | sleepwal1, hmm thats strange, it used to work in feisty. :( | 18:48 |
| radioaktivstorm | i checked in the keyboard shortcuts and i discovered that aumix, the program that is supposed to control the volume wasnt installed on my computer | 18:49 |
| radioaktivstorm | still i cannot get the volume to work | 18:50 |
| archangelpetro | if you have an url with a space in it, will it attempt to resolvE? | 19:04 |
| maddog39 | hallo any1 here | 19:15 |
| radioaktivstorm | hi | 19:15 |

| Eagle-101 | hey bmod any luck? (this is ubuntu123) | 20:31 |
| alyx | hey room | 20:43 |
| Eagle-101 | hello, need help? | 20:43 |
| alyx | just trying to figure out the best way to install e17 | 20:47 |
| gerro | alyx: what information you using for that e17 install? I've never tried it before might try using it myself though | 21:00 |
| gerro | alyx: wow enlightenment looks weird there like some beginner guide or ubuntu howto for it that might help? I was all like fighting my menu getting slapped around by my application icons. Although I brought up firefox and it seemed very snappy in performance | 21:09 |
| gerro | I mean moving the window around and all | 21:09 |
| big_area | hey everybody, i have a process running as root: /bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg | 22:42 |
| big_area | looked similar to a malicious code warning i saw on a forum. does this look dangerous to anyone? | 22:43 |
| FlashWolf | somebody knows a fisheye dock for linux? | 22:44 |
| FlashWolf | like rocketdock for windows | 22:44 |
| gerro | FlashWolf: haha they finally got something to compete with avant and kiba | 22:45 |
| FlashWolf | gerro: oO | 22:46 |
| FlashWolf | what? | 22:46 |
| FlashWolf | oh | 22:46 |
| FlashWolf | are avant and kiba fisheye docks for linux-based os? | 22:46 |
| gerro | Flashwolf: yeah | 22:46 |
| gerro | don't know what you mean by fisheye | 22:46 |
| big_area | zoom | 22:47 |
| big_area | eyecandyish | 22:47 |
| gerro | Flashwolf: http://code.google.com/p/avant-window-navigator/ and http://www.kiba-dock.org/ | 22:47 |
| gerro | should be in the repository though | 22:47 |
| FlashWolf | fisheye is a name that specifies a list of items with zoom effects | 22:48 |
| FlashWolf | or more | 22:48 |
| FlashWolf | does kiba work in xubuntu? | 22:48 |
| crimsun | sure, mas o menos | 22:48 |
| gerro | anything linux based works in xubuntu | 22:48 |
| FlashWolf | i'd installed it yesterday here and got a empty white rect | 22:49 |
| FlashWolf | crimsun: sure or "mas o menos"? | 22:49 |
| gerro | you probably have to configure its settings, try ls -a then look for a hidden config file in your home directory | 22:49 |
| gerro | or install its editor program | 22:49 |
| crimsun | FlashWolf: both. There's no ambiguity. A program either does or doesn't. | 22:51 |
| FlashWolf | crimsun: "mas o menos" means "maybe", "more or less" | 22:52 |
| crimsun | I know. | 22:52 |
| FlashWolf | so... | 22:53 |
| crimsun | note how it's not "yes" or "no" | 22:53 |
| FlashWolf | "sure" != "maybe", right? | 22:53 |
| crimsun | how about interpreting it as "yes, it works, but the configuration takes some finagling"? | 22:53 |
| FlashWolf | ok. lets quit talking about spanish/english issues | 22:54 |
| FlashWolf | :) | 22:54 |
| gerro | my dock's in english... | 22:55 |
| gerro | oh and I just ran this ubuntu 7.10 server install and can't get ethernet up | 22:55 |
| FlashWolf | gerro: arent u american/english? | 22:56 |
| gerro | it wasn't plugged in when I installed so no clue how to do it myself now | 22:56 |
| gerro | FlashWolf: yeah I live in the western hemisphere, its night here | 22:56 |
| big_area | can anyone tell me what this command is doing? | 22:56 |
| big_area | /bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg | 22:57 |
| FlashWolf | gerro: me too. brazil. night here too. | 22:57 |
| gerro | its writing 1 to bs file if it gets a kmsg output relating to /proc? I don't know just guessing | 22:58 |
| FlashWolf | so... waiting 2 hours to finish some packs installations to get kiba-dock | 22:58 |
| gerro | FlashWolf: yo. you talk like. that dude. ya know from star. something. | 22:58 |
| FlashWolf | gerro: oO | 22:59 |
| FlashWolf | eh? | 22:59 |
| gerro | FlashWolf: wow isn't there a local mirror near you? | 22:59 |
| big_area | gerro: where ya from? | 22:59 |
| FlashWolf | gerro: nopz. just one from sourceforge | 22:59 |
| FlashWolf | but my sources.list havent this | 23:00 |
| gerro | pick different mirror hate how their new system gives you incorrect one all the time | 23:00 |
| FlashWolf | fo me they give the correct | 23:00 |

| gerro | my ethernet wasn't configured during install how do I auto detect it? | 23:17 |
| FlashWolf | gerro: manually configuring network? | 23:18 |
| FlashWolf | Application > System > Network | 23:18 |
| gerro | FlashWolf: did a server install of ubuntu and don't have xubuntu-desktop installed yet because ethernet is down | 23:22 |
| FlashWolf | pleasedontspamme: now you can enjoy our new offers! take a look at www.ournewoffers.fake to see! | 23:24 |
| gerro | FlashWolf: your link is broken | 23:25 |
| FlashWolf | gerro: it was a joke... ¬¬ | 23:25 |
| FlashWolf | " pleasedontspamme " | 23:26 |
| FlashWolf | i was just spamming him | 23:26 |
| pleasedontspamme | can someone help me, I have xubuntu running, and I'm trying to use it with my home network. what i'm trying to do is get it to connect to the shared documents folder on my xp computer | 23:26 |
| FlashWolf | xD | 23:26 |
| pleasedontspamme | I have samba on my xubuntu pc | 23:26 |
| pleasedontspamme | but I haven't used it before, so I'm not sure if it is what i need | 23:27 |
| pleasedontspamme | I also have pyNeighborhood installed, and it shows me the folder that i want, but it gives me an error when it tryies to mount the folder | 23:28 |
| gerro | pleasedontspamme: first ask yourself is it easier/better to use samba/windows sharing or nfs on windows and xubuntu | 23:29 |
| pleasedontspamme | what is nfs? | 23:29 |
| pleasedontspamme | I'm new to linux if you can't tell | 23:30 |
| gerro | pleasedontspamme: nfs is what linux distributions use for file sharing | 23:31 |
| gerro | pleasedontspamme: http://opensource.franz.com/nfs/ and http://www.csparks.com/CygwinNFS/index.xhtml | 23:32 |
| thruxton | can windows do nfs though? he's trying to connect to a windows box isnt he? | 23:32 |
| gerro | yeah it can but requires third party server stuff | 23:32 |
| pleasedontspamme | k, my problem is that i already have quite the network of xp computers, for a small business, and I'm trying to learn how to intergrate ubuntu/xubuntu into said network without having to mess up the xp pcs | 23:32 |
| gerro | pleasedontspamme: that's why I was asking | 23:33 |
| gerro | pleasedontspamme: samba is what you use then should see it under applications > system > shared folders | 23:33 |
| pleasedontspamme | so what I was hoping for is a way to get xubuntu to talk to the xp shared doc folder from the xubuntu pc | 23:33 |
| pleasedontspamme | all I see is the shared folder I'm sharing from the xubuntu pc | 23:36 |
| pleasedontspamme | I was able to connect to the xubuntus shared from an xp machine by doing the start> Run> // ipaddress of xubuntumachine trick, but I want to open the XP machines shared doc folder from the xubuntu machine | 23:40 |
| gerro | smbclient try that | 23:47 |
| gerro | think there is a graphical way to do it though | 23:47 |
| gerro | pleasedontspamme: basically set it up with smbclient command then add it into fstab to be auto mounted at boot. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 23:48 |
| pleasedontspamme | thanks, I'll reed that and get back to you if I need any more help | 23:48 |
