[01:13] <docjay> can anyone here help me compile a driver for a highpoint rocketraid 2200 (there are opensource drivers for it, but no linux drivers, they have to be compiled) & mount my array so that it'll mount and boot off of the array evertime?
[01:22] <docjay> pretty much just how to add a driver...
[01:25] <docjay> hello?
[01:39] <neur1> anyone know a line i could add to conky for monitoring battery useage
[01:45] <soldats> doesnt conky have an option for that in the basic install
[01:46] <neur1> yes but i modified it to a file i can manipulate
[01:46] <neur1> cant find the default one too
[01:47] <neur1> was it you, helping me with compiz yesterday?
[01:47] <soldats> yea
[01:48] <soldats> if i had better knowledge of laptops id know better
[01:49] <soldats> i used to know it cause i looked it for some people a while back but i cant remember for the life of me
[01:50] <neur1> i had to redo
[01:51] <docjay> can anyone help me compile a raid driver from highpoint, install it and mount my raid array on xubuntu?
[01:53] <soldats> docjay, is there a README.txt file for it
[02:02] <theunixgeek> How do I access my Linux partition on a Mac?
[02:11] <NewXubuntuUser00> Hey- I set this up on a box that's cdrom is almost broke
[02:11] <NewXubuntuUser00> the from button just lights the CD drive but doesnt open
[02:11] <NewXubuntuUser00> unless i use paperclip and force pull the drive open
[02:11] <NewXubuntuUser00> However
[02:11] <NewXubuntuUser00> if i put in a disk and ubuntu can see the disk - theres no problem with it reading -
[02:12] <NewXubuntuUser00> i can menu the disk on the desktop, and goto Eject. What command is that using to eject at that point?
[02:12] <NewXubuntuUser00> inside of the right click menu? because I need a shorrtcut to that command on the desk obviously
[02:12] <NewXubuntuUser00> ?????  =)
[02:12] <soldats> eject
[02:12] <NewXubuntuUser00> eject /cdrom just makes the light come on and it sits
[02:13] <soldats> no just type eject
[02:13] <NewXubuntuUser00> but when i rightclick the mounted disk on the desktop and CHoose eject on that menu
[02:13] <NewXubuntuUser00> it Works!
[02:13] <NewXubuntuUser00> ?
[02:13] <NewXubuntuUser00> ive tried the switches
[02:13] <NewXubuntuUser00> read the man page to Eject too
[02:13] <soldats> "eject" in terminal
[02:14] <NewXubuntuUser00> nope . even 'sudo eject /cdrom' doesnt work in a terminal
[02:14] <NewXubuntuUser00> should i try from like tty3?
[02:15] <neur1> what you tryin' to do?
[02:16] <NewXubuntuUser00> just *Maybe* its a bug with the hardware that is not allowing it to eject when the drive is empty???!!!!!
[02:16] <NewXubuntuUser00> Eject my cd drive .   =D
[02:16] <soldats> NewXubuntuUser00, you should only have to type "eject" by itself in a terminal
[02:16] <NewXubuntuUser00> without a paperclip and forcing the gears the reverse literally
[02:16] <NewXubuntuUser00> nope that just makes the light come on
[02:17] <NewXubuntuUser00> but it will eject Post Mount
[02:17] <NewXubuntuUser00> =(
[02:17] <NewXubuntuUser00> via right click menu
[02:17] <soldats> than im not sure because when you right click it is the same command just in a click fashion
[02:17] <NewXubuntuUser00> you are absolutely positive? than just simply 'eject' should do the same thing though.
[02:18] <soldats> yes
[02:18] <soldats> there may be a large string for the clickable though but its to tell the gui to do the command for you
[02:18] <soldats> if you need a paperclip to open then its time for a new drive
[02:19] <NewXubuntuUser00> you'd think, right? but i got no other cd drive for this old box
[02:19] <NewXubuntuUser00> they're All Used  =9
[02:19] <NewXubuntuUser00> but id rly like to get it to do what it does just by telling it to
[02:20] <NewXubuntuUser00> =/
[02:20] <neur1> yikes mine just ejects with eject in prompt
[02:21] <soldats> thats how it should work
[02:21] <neur1> maybe it's not installed
[02:21] <NewXubuntuUser00> do i hav to run unmount first, maybe? than Next the eject command? maybe Thats the bit that is making my drive eject with the software
[02:22] <soldats> NewXubuntuUser00, did you do sudo eject
[02:22] <NewXubuntuUser00> but it will not open with no disk in the drive
[02:22] <neur1> check synaptic
[02:22] <soldats> neur1, thats not it
[02:22] <NewXubuntuUser00> from just the button on the fron of the drive itself . Yes, 'eject' is installed. ive 'man' d, too
[02:22] <soldats> sudo umount /cdrom | eject
[02:22] <NewXubuntuUser00> ok yes ty i try that
[02:23] <NewXubuntuUser00> cd not mounted.  =(
[02:23] <NewXubuntuUser00> drive lite comes on SOS
[02:24] <NewXubuntuUser00> ???   =\   =/   =(  i wonder what special thing xubuntu is doing from the right clic. menu that is making That work
[02:25] <soldats> no clue it may be a bug with your hardware
[02:25] <soldats> something might be conflicting
[02:25] <NewXubuntuUser00> wouldnt it open from the buton on the front?   =D   screw this thing ima bust it to hell hahahahahahha
[02:25] <NewXubuntuUser00> go buy cd drive for $5
[02:26] <NewXubuntuUser00> still
[02:26] <NewXubuntuUser00> =(    I WANA KNOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW
[02:26] <NewXubuntuUser00> =(
[02:26] <soldats> eject /dev/cdrom
[02:26] <soldats> ?
[02:26] <NewXubuntuUser00> tried that one didnt work. tried /media/cdrom and /media/cdrom0, too
[02:26] <NewXubuntuUser00> 0 didnt do anything i think
[02:27] <NewXubuntuUser00> nope zero just makes the light work and i hear something to like it might even by Starting to open up
[02:28] <NewXubuntuUser00> damn Free hardware hahahahahahahah =/
[02:28] <soldats> yea best bet is to get a new one
[02:28] <soldats> srsly when you need to use a paperclip to open you need a new one
[02:29] <NewXubuntuUser00> yeah.   ^ ^   but it DOES it i tell u ! jut only with a disk in the drive so that i can force the command in here
[02:29] <NewXubuntuUser00> *_*
[02:31] <Catoptromancy> sudo eject
[02:31] <soldats> he tried it no worky
[02:32] <NewXubuntuUser00> sudo appears to not make a difference
[02:32] <NewXubuntuUser00> with the switches i can get it to Not do anything
[02:32] <Catoptromancy> close your file manager
[02:32] <NewXubuntuUser00> (say - telling it to use the SCSI type style close command to send it)
[02:32] <NewXubuntuUser00> my File Manager?  =O well i didnt think i had that open whenn i started but - Yes - I'll dso that
[02:33] <Catoptromancy> $ps -a  and kill any process that seems to be viewing/using the cdrom
[02:33] <NewXubuntuUser00> WHAT? it says bash and ps
[02:34] <NewXubuntuUser00> what is a ps -a
[02:34] <soldats> having your file manager open shouldnt matter at all
[02:35] <Catoptromancy> I cant eject wih FM open at cd directory
[02:35] <soldats> i wonder why cause it shouldnt matter
[02:35] <somerville32> It does matter
[02:35] <Catoptromancy> cdrom is mounted when viewing it
[02:36] <soldats> oh you mean viewing your cd in the manager?
[02:36] <Catoptromancy> when you click a differnt directory, then eject works since it auto unmounts the directory not in use
[02:36] <NewXubuntuUser00> yeah i think in thunar
[02:36] <NewXubuntuUser00> its not making any difference though so far
[02:37] <Catoptromancy> pastebin $ps -a
[02:37] <NewXubuntuUser00> i didnt even open thunar until the end of troubleshooting
[02:37] <Catoptromancy> orr
[02:37] <Catoptromancy> ps -e
[02:37] <NewXubuntuUser00> 4063 tty3     00:00:00 bash
[02:37] <NewXubuntuUser00>  4099 pts/0    00:00:00 ps
[02:37] <Catoptromancy> ya ps -e
[02:37] <Catoptromancy> use pastebinm
[02:37] <Catoptromancy> !pastebin
[02:37] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:38] <NewXubuntuUser00> it says thunar is on that list
[02:39] <NewXubuntuUser00> so do i kill thunar ?
[02:39] <Catoptromancy> might not be thunar
[02:41] <NewXubuntuUser00> im Yeah when i run top
[02:41] <NewXubuntuUser00> its only up for a sec than thunar doesn show anymoar
[02:41] <Catoptromancy> $ps -e
[02:41] <Catoptromancy> and use pastebin
[02:41] <NewXubuntuUser00> There i got is ! it was launched by mes
[02:41] <NewXubuntuUser00> ima kill it
[02:42] <Catoptromancy> heh
[02:42] <Catoptromancy> theres usually some odd app trying to use cdrom
[02:42] <NewXubuntuUser00> ok
[02:42] <Catoptromancy> when it wont eject
[02:42] <Catoptromancy> $ps -e   lists all apps
[02:45] <NewXubuntuUser00> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48288/
[02:46] <Rafabe> what are the reasons why GRUB would fail installing?
[02:47] <Rafabe> I had Xubuntu previously, wanted to format and try Kubuntu. The installer failed, so I tried to go back to Xubuntu. The only difference since I installed it is that before, I had a 200mb ext3 /boot partition and a 70gb / (root) ext3 partition. Now I have the 200mb boot, a 5gb / , and 65gb /home
[02:48] <Rafabe> also swap, obviously
[02:48] <Rafabe> it's set to format the drives before installing, so the previous GRUB shouldn't be causing problems
[02:50] <Catoptromancy> NewXubuntuUser00, still having eject problem?
[02:53] <NewXubuntuUser00> yeah i did a eject -r in term and i said last thing was INput/Output error. so something in the drive is horrid broke . time for a New Drive
[02:54] <soldats> Catoptromancy, do you suppose he should do eject -v and see which styles of eject fail
[02:54] <soldats> scsi or whatnot
[02:54] <Catoptromancy> i guess
[02:54] <NewXubuntuUser00> holy what
[02:54] <NewXubuntuUser00> watch THIS i pastebin
[02:54] <Catoptromancy> $info eject
[02:55] <NewXubuntuUser00> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48290/
[02:56] <soldats> seems normanl
[02:56] <soldats> try eject -v
[02:56] <soldats> see which fails scsi or ide
[02:56] <Catoptromancy> sudo mount -t auto /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
[02:57] <NewXubuntuUser00> normal IDE says it fails and it claims SCSI works
[02:57] <NewXubuntuUser00> but ive tried the -s switch i try it with -v
[02:57] <Catoptromancy> $mount    see if its mountd
[02:58] <NewXubuntuUser00> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48291/
[02:58] <NewXubuntuUser00> that last one is weird kus obviously the light came only Only no physiucal eject
[02:59] <NewXubuntuUser00> nope its not mounted checking with mount
[02:59] <soldats> its probly due to having to use a paperclip sometimes
[02:59] <NewXubuntuUser00> its Never opened since i received it
[02:59] <Catoptromancy> eject: `/dev/hdc' is a multipartition device
[02:59] <Catoptromancy> what
[02:59] <NewXubuntuUser00> ROFL ! yeah !
[02:59] <Catoptromancy> multipartitions on a cd?
[02:59] <NewXubuntuUser00> =D
[02:59] <NewXubuntuUser00> no theres nothing in the drive.
[03:00] <NewXubuntuUser00> but if i put cd in
[03:00] <soldats> Catoptromancy, try it i think most say that
[03:00] <NewXubuntuUser00> and right click Eject in the menui
[03:00] <NewXubuntuUser00> it ejects
[03:00] <Catoptromancy> $file /dev/hda
[03:00] <soldats> block special
[03:01] <Catoptromancy> 3/0
[03:01] <soldats> hah yea
[03:01] <NewXubuntuUser00> yeah special 3/0
[03:01] <Catoptromancy> hm
[03:03] <NewXubuntuUser00> and if i enable auto eject
[03:03] <NewXubuntuUser00> with the 1 after the -a switch
[03:03] <soldats> Catoptromancy, i believe basically what he wanted to know was, whatever command the gui (r-click) does, he wants to know what it is to try it in a terminal
[03:03] <NewXubuntuUser00> it will just loop until i ctrl+c in console to kill the last thing i set in place
[03:05] <NewXubuntuUser00> thats a BAD thing, yes?
[03:06] <NewXubuntuUser00> that means that if im turning on that auto eject option which shouldnt b looping like that with No Disk in the drive anyway
[03:06] <NewXubuntuUser00> and it just loops
[03:06] <NewXubuntuUser00> thats a Bad thing, yes?
[03:07] <bigal> how do i determine my x version
[03:07] <NewXubuntuUser00> ima try Capial T
[03:07] <NewXubuntuUser00> eject -T
[03:07] <NewXubuntuUser00> ioctl: Input/output error
[03:08] <soldats> try cdrecord -eject
[03:08] <soldats> "cdrecord -eject"
[03:08] <soldats> or no whoops wrong channel
[03:18] <NewXubuntuUser00> shen i run cdrecord -scanbus
[03:18] <NewXubuntuUser00> cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
[03:19] <NewXubuntuUser00> but its trying 'cdrw'
[03:19] <soldats> dont do it, i typed that here by mistake
[03:19] <soldats> cdrecord is a program not your cdrom drive
[03:19] <NewXubuntuUser00> its not a burner ne way
[03:20] <NewXubuntuUser00> well hey i gota go. ill try come bak tomarrow afternoon ill sleep on it
[03:20] <soldats> did you try reboot
[03:20] <NewXubuntuUser00> perhaps i should just get a new cd drive for $5
[03:21] <NewXubuntuUser00> yes the drive Never opens on its own
[03:21] <soldats> yea
[03:21] <NewXubuntuUser00> except linux can eject it when a disk is in it
[03:21] <NewXubuntuUser00> alrights well we gave it the Good Fight.   ty - bb.
[03:28] <yfk> is there a way to install envy solely with apt?
[03:30] <soldats> have you tried it
[03:30] <yfk> tried what?
[03:31] <soldats> to install it with apt-get
[03:31] <soldats> command line right?
[03:31] <yfk> It's not at any of my repositories
[03:32] <yfk> if you know of one that has it then I'd love to know what it is
[03:32] <yfk> (32 bit)
[03:32] <soldats> what is envy
[03:33] <yfk> it installs nvidia and ati graphic card drivers automaticly
[03:34] <soldats> ahh you should ask your question again in #ubuntu they might know more
[03:34] <yfk> http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[03:35] <soldats> seems that you have to compile it yourself
[03:35] <soldats> it may not be in any repos
[03:35] <yfk> I think it is
[03:51] <Travis> Hi I just put a hard drive in my server from my older server, the data on it is in a format called LVM2 MEMBER, because my old server was LVM, I just need to get the data off it for my new server? how do I go about this?

[04:26] <renegade420> hello
[04:27] <tim_123> Hi how Do i isntall two different version of open arena at the same time?
[04:27] <renegade420> i have currently lost my dock bar on both sides how do i get them bck?
[04:28] <soldats> renegade420, dock bar as in task bar
[04:29] <renegade420> soldats, yesum
[04:29] <renegade420> is it easy to bring baack?
[04:29] <renegade420> i think i may have messed with the display settings poking around etc.
[04:30] <soldats> well if you have neither, it may be hard
[04:30] <soldats> im looking into it
[04:34] <Farquad> if i'm able to detect, (but not connect) does that mean my wireless drivers are working correctly, and the wirless configuration is just messed up?
[04:37] <soldats> Farquad, id assume so but im not sure
[04:38] <mosno> i want to drag-out an item from my xfce menu onto the xfce panel -- how?
[04:38] <mosno> eg. Terminal
[04:39] <soldats> mosno, ive never been able to do it, you can try to rclick the taskbar and go to add new item
[04:40] <mosno> soldats: drats.
[04:40] <mosno> soldats: i know how to do it via the Add New Item, i just wanted to be 'canonical' and use the exact launcher already configured in my Menu
[04:41] <soldats> ahh
[04:41] <mosno> soldats: eg. imagine there were custom args being passed in the Menu item, which you didn't know how to replicate by yourself -- you'd have to hunt through your system menu in the shell
[04:42] <soldats> mosno, yes i know exactly ive been doing it for about an hour
[04:42] <soldats> i just recently figured out how to open thunar to any folder via menu
[04:43] <soldats> 30 mins ago
[04:43] <tim_123> How do i make side buttons work in Xubuntu ?
[04:43] <tim_123> How do i manage the porcceses that start at start up un Xubuntu ?
[04:44] <tim_123> How do i make mouse  side on logitech mx518 buttons work in Xubuntu ?
[04:44] <somerville32> tim_123, what do you want it to do?
[04:47] <tim_123> I want to use side buttons to go back and forth IN thunar and Firefox
[04:47] <soldats> mosno, you there
[04:51] <mosno> soldats: yea
[04:51] <mosno> soldats: about to leave for the supermarket
[04:51] <soldats> wait one sec
[04:51] <mosno> ok........
[04:52] <soldats> say the command for like settings manager is "xfce-settings-show" do you know how i could do it in a terminal, i know some commands for opening folders to thunar from the menu but this is stumping me
[04:53] <mosno> do what in a term?
[04:53] <somerville32> You just type the command in the terminal
[04:53] <soldats> say like open the gui for the panel manager
[04:53] <mosno> ok. what somerville32 said.
[04:54] <soldats> xfce-settings-show does nothing in a term though
[04:54] <mosno> is that all? i really must dash! :)
[04:54] <mosno> soldats: wrong command
[04:54] <soldats> ok yea its was just a quick question
[04:54] <mosno> xfce-setting-show
[04:54] <mosno> you made a typo
[04:54] <soldats> ahh
[04:54] <soldats> dang i cant read today
[04:54] <mosno> thank you come again!
[04:54]  * mosno dashes out door :)
[04:54] <soldats> lol
[04:55] <somerville32> xfce-setting-show doesn't work for me either
[04:55] <somerville32> oh, nvm
[04:55] <somerville32> it does work
[04:55] <soldats> yea i just realized it works
[04:55] <soldats> i was doing settins
[04:55] <soldats> settings**
[04:56] <soldats> i really didnt think running an xfce command would work in a terminal
[04:56] <soldats> but sweet now i know

[05:16] <big_area> hey everybody, i just upgraded to gutsy and im not gettin any sound from usb speakers or either of my sound cards
[05:16] <somerville32> big_area, Did you try rebooting?
[05:16] <big_area> ya
[05:17] <big_area> by just upgraded i mean yesterday
[05:18] <big_area> does the sound system come configured or do i need to install a driver if i have a dedicated card?
[05:18] <mohkohn> I have a Gutsy Alternative-Installer Ubuntu CD and a Feisty Xubuntu cd. I want to have Gutsy Xubuntu.
[05:19] <somerville32> mohkohn, go on
[05:19] <mohkohn> Which would be better. Install command line Gutsy and apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[05:19] <mohkohn> or to install the xubuntu feisty and dist-upgrade?
[05:19] <big_area> i've had trouble with the alt cd's in the past
[05:19] <somerville32> big_area, Unplug your speakers and then plug them back in and give me the output in pastebin of dmesg | tail
[05:19] <mosno> mohkohn: the former
[05:20] <big_area> i suggest a dist-up from fiesty
[05:20] <mohkohn> I was leaning that way too mosno thanks.
[05:20] <somerville32> alt-cds work fine usually
[05:20] <mosno> mohkohn: as big_area said, do a dist-upgrade
[05:21] <somerville32> but do as they say :P
[05:22] <mohkohn> ok. I will have some lunch offline while installing xubuntu. Then I will do the dist-upgrade online according to the destructions :)
[05:22] <big_area> http://pastebin.com/d6b909631
[05:22] <mosno> alt cds are ubuntu's saving grace
[05:22] <mosno> screw non-LVM system!
[05:22] <big_area> lol
[05:22] <mosno> ok, time to clean up this hellhole of a pad
[05:22]  * mosno groans
[05:23] <mohkohn> I used the alt cd to install gutsy. I am going to make a windows friend of mine a xubuntu GIS system to run in virtualbox.
[05:23] <mohkohn> I needed the LVM DM-Crypt
[05:23] <mohkohn> for a laptop.
[05:23] <mohkohn> see you later.
[05:24] <big_area> somerville32, get that?
[05:26] <somerville32> one sec
[05:26] <big_area> sorry
[05:26] <big_area> this one might bemore helpful

[10:39] <ands> hi.. is this the place I can ask for help with xubuntu? It seems really quiet in here...
[10:42] <TheSheep> ands: yes
[10:44] <ands> great! I recently installed xubuntu.. and today I booted up.. logged in as usual.. the background image came up.. and then nothing.. no menus.. just the mouse was visible.. I've done a bit of a search for help on the forums for the Xclient script.. but kinda stuck. Any suggestions on where I start?
[10:47] <TheSheep> ands: when you press alt+f2, anything comes up?
[10:49] <ands> yes.. a dialog box comes up asking if I want to run a program
[10:49] <TheSheep> ands: try typeing 'xfce4-panel in there
[10:49] <TheSheep> xfce4-panel
[10:50] <ands> :) yip.. that worked!

[14:05] <gergo_ny> hi, I have a beginner problem, I hope you can me help
[14:05] <aboyousif> gergo_ny, shoot
[14:05] <gergo_ny> I have Xubuntu 6.06.1
[14:06] <gergo_ny> if I try to start normal mode the system freez out
[14:06] <gergo_ny> before the login page
[14:06] <gergo_ny> there isN't any log file after that
[14:07] <gergo_ny> I don't know what is the problem, how can I see it
[14:08] <ere4si> has it ever run?
[14:08] <gergo_ny> when I try to use fedore the problem was the same
[14:08] <gergo_ny> never
[14:08] <gergo_ny> just in in recovery mode
[14:08] <ere4si> might be the video card driver
[14:09] <gergo_ny> how can I see that or fix it?
[14:10] <ere4si> in recovery mode type -   sudo dpkg-reonfigure xserver-xorg    - and accept the defaults except for the video card driver - choose vesa - and you should get it to boot
[14:12] <gergo_ny> thanks a lot, I try it, bye
[14:52] <squirrelpimp> i have two xubuntu-boxes and want to watch a movie on one of them while the sound shall be played on the other
[14:53] <squirrelpimp> is there a way or a tool to generally move programms between two computers in a drag-and-drop fashion?
[14:53] <squirrelpimp> X is to slow
[14:53] <squirrelpimp> currently one of them is wireless-connected
[15:15] <drc822> squirrelpimp: u want the sound to come from the other box?
[15:16] <squirrelpimp> drc822: yes
[15:16] <drc822> u could just sync the sound by playing it with mplayer to null video+
[15:16] <squirrelpimp> the desktop-pc is connected to the speakers
[15:16] <squirrelpimp> yes, but that's ugly, isn't it:)?
[15:17] <drc822> it is
[15:18] <drc822> somehow via ssh?
[15:18] <drc822> do u have the flic on both boxes?

[19:25] <age6racer> hey guys, i just installed a fresh copy of Gutsy on an old laptop. The live CD worked fine and so does booting in recovery mode and then running startx, but when I log in normally the screen slowly goes blue then white until nothing is on the screen. If I plug into a monitor it works on that too. What is happening and how do i fix it?
[19:27] <somerville32> age6racer, sounds like you need to reconfigure X
[19:27] <somerville32> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:29] <age6racer> somerville32; Thanks I'll give it a go
[19:30] <age6racer> while I'm waiting for the thing to boot i'll add a couple of extra symptoms... no boot loader screen or verbose text output, and i didn't mention that this problem happend at the GDM login screen, not the desktop.
[19:35] <age6racer> somerville: same thing still happens
[19:35] <age6racer> it's screwed
[19:35] <age6racer> I've never seen this happen before
[19:36] <somerville32> I haven't either :(
[19:36] <age6racer> I've run about 4 distros on this laptop including 4 versions of Ubuntu
[19:36] <somerville32> Try asking in #ubuntu - someone there might know
[19:36] <age6racer> have done, no luck
[19:40] <somerville32> reinstall?
[19:41] <age6racer> I'm getting the alternate install cd now
[20:15] <mike__> anybody care to give me a bit of help with my desktop
