| TheSheep | neur1: maybe kill it? | 00:46 |

| evil_tech | they are programs that pull serial numbers, manufacturer and general specs off the hardware in your machine | 00:52 |
| evil_tech | i really dont want to tear this Vaio apart just to get serial numbers off the board and hard disks | 00:52 |

| rizenine | Question, I have Xubuntu installed, and it looks good, but when I install the nvidia drivers everything gets big. | 02:13 |
| rizenine | What is causing this? | 02:13 |
| rizenine | I have it set to the correct resolution. | 02:13 |
| rizenine | I see the default depth is 16 for nv driver and 24 for the nvidia. Not sure that matters. | 02:17 |
| rizenine | The glx mod is loaded, but that looks like the only difference. | 02:18 |

| gerro | how do you update a bios??? | 09:11 |
| gerro | !bios | 09:12 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bios - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:12 |
| gerro | been stuck on this issue for some time :( | 09:12 |
| gerro | most just don't get it a floppy or its image or any hint of a floppy is too small and obsolete to do anything with new bios? | 09:13 |
| gerro | anyway some new feature got thrown into 7.10 recently and I need the newer bios update "prevents random power offs" just like all the windows users do now too | 09:14 |
| gerro | nvm I'm using this flash drive perhaps I can get something working like that | 09:19 |
| Zombie | I honestly don't know./ | 09:29 |
| gerro | Zombie: no prob I found my usb stick so I'll do it that way | 09:44 |

| nvm57 | Hi, this might be pretty stupid question, but anyway, xubuntu is free for persons, but is it also free for companies? Or does it need license? | 15:00 |
| vinze | nvm57, yes, free of charge for everyone | 15:00 |
| nvm57 | so there isn't any smallprind anywhere? : ) | 15:01 |
| nvm57 | *smallprint | 15:01 |
| vinze | Nope :) | 15:01 |
| nvm57 | thank you : ) | 15:01 |
| vinze | Well, technically, if you were going to make your own versions there are things to keep in mind, but not for using it ;-) | 15:01 |
| thegeeker | There is small print if you modify it and redistribute it commercially I believe | 15:02 |
| thegeeker | Usual GPL stuff | 15:02 |
| nvm57 | oki | 15:02 |
| vinze | thegeeker, yeah, and then you have to keep *all* the different licenses in mind, blabla... | 15:02 |

| bart1105 | not yet. its beem more than a week with no net connection for me.. i'll check it. thanks | 16:17 |
| vinze | bart1105, it says "you can play a VCD in VLC by selecting Open Disc from the File menu, and selecting the VCD option. " | 16:17 |
| bart1105 | i did that and it won't play | 16:18 |
| vinze | bart1105, and from a terminal window: "vlc vcd:///dev/dvd" | 16:18 |

| evil_tech | whats a good torrent program for Xubuntu | 18:29 |
| zoredache | if you can live with the command line, then bittornado is nice | 18:30 |
| evil_tech | i like command line. is the man page on it pretty informative? | 18:31 |
| zoredache | the manpage is pretty informative... | 18:32 |
| seisen | deluge isn't bad either | 18:32 |
| zoredache | usually I make a directory /var/torrents, and then run 'btlaunchmanycurses.bittornado --max_upload_rate 100 /var/torrents' inside screen | 18:33 |
| zoredache | all I have to do is save the .torrent files in /var/torrents, and remove them from that folder when things are done | 18:33 |
| evil_tech | nice | 18:33 |
| evil_tech | downloading bittornado and deluge now. think ill play with them both and see which one i like better | 18:34 |
| scotta316 | I've tried them both and ended up going back to using utorrent under wine. | 18:38 |
| zoredache | downloading? bittornado is avialable in apt... | 18:38 |
| scotta316 | evil_tech: I've tried them both and went back to using utorrent under wine. | 18:43 |
| evil_tech | i like azureus but its a mem hog | 18:48 |
| evil_tech | deluge seems to be working fine for so far | 18:49 |
| Piratero | hello | 19:19 |
| evil_tech | hi | 19:19 |
| Piratero | i compiled the kernel and now the cpu usage is at 100% no matter what | 19:49 |
| Piratero | ha | 19:49 |
| Piratero | it boots up faster, but seems to run slower | 19:49 |
| zoredache | well you broke something... now you have to figure out what | 19:50 |
| Piratero | yep | 19:50 |
| zoredache | did you compile it the debian way? | 19:50 |
| Piratero | well, i'll just make some subtle changes here and there | 19:50 |
| zoredache | make-kpkg | 19:50 |
| Piratero | yeah | 19:50 |
| Piratero | i ran dpkg, etc | 19:51 |
| zoredache | did you stick with the source from the repository, or go from something new off kernel.org? | 19:51 |
| Piratero | i got 2.6.23 from kernel.org | 19:52 |
| Piratero | and copied the .config file from /boot | 19:52 |
| zoredache | I suspect if it was me, I would have used the same configuration file and made a kernel and tested before I made changes | 19:52 |
| zoredache | right now you don't know if your problem is the changes you made, or the new kernel | 19:52 |
| Piratero | yeah | 19:53 |
| Piratero | well, i'm recompiling the kernel now | 19:53 |
| zoredache | the latest kernel doesn't tend to be particuarly stable in my experience... | 19:53 |
| Piratero | yeah | 19:54 |
| Piratero | i should then just downgrade | 19:54 |
| Piratero | last time i've used linux (freebsd user for two years now) | 19:54 |
| Piratero | the kernel tar ball was only 18mb | 19:54 |
| Piratero | its crazy how it's 43 now | 19:55 |
| zoredache | I guess. It doesn't suprise me though, it contains the drivers for almost everything under the sun | 19:55 |
| Piratero | yep | 19:56 |
| Ben_Cs | hello | 20:01 |
| evil_tech | hi | 20:03 |
| Ben_Cs | is it only me, or in xubuntu 7.10 after i insert the password into the feed, when the updater requests so, it takes lots of time for the comp to get back to the updater window? and when i open certain programs, i see for a split of a second snow on the window of the app? didn't have all this on prevous version of xubuntu | 20:04 |
| Ben_Cs | (lots of time = several seconds. way too much) | 20:04 |
| somerville32 | :S | 20:05 |
| Ben_Cs | no one had such problems? | 20:08 |
| evil_tech | used to but it seems to have gone away | 20:08 |
| Ben_Cs | another wierd thing is that eclipse didn't work properly. it seemed as if it was installed without access permisions to needed locations. after i reinstalled xubuntu, this problem went away. seems xubuntu 7.10 is still buggy | 20:10 |
| Ben_Cs | with all that said, it's pitty because i like xfce the most of all desktops. kde comes close in my liking, but still xfce is no. 1 for me. | 20:16 |
| evil_tech | what is a good cd ripper for xubuntu? | 20:19 |
| zoredache | you want an iso or are you trying to extra audio files? | 20:20 |
| zoredache | if you are just looking to get an iso, then use dd | 20:20 |
| zoredache | dd if=/dev/scd0 of=new.iso | 20:21 |
| evil_tech | no just wanna copy my music to the hdd as .flac | 20:21 |
| zoredache | I don't rip my music on my linux box, so I can't help you... :| | 20:23 |
| evil_tech | think i'll just install a bunch from the repos and try em out | 20:24 |
| thegeeker | Ben_Cs: download the latest eclipse from eclipse.org and run it in your home dir. the version in the repos is broken | 20:25 |
| Ben_Cs | thegeeker: yeh i saw it's broken, did just that. but later on for some reason after re-installing xubuntu, it seems to work alright. still, make i can't figure out why built in make dont work. | 20:29 |
| thegeeker | they probably didn;t worry about it since the repo version is old and the one from eclipse.org works so well | 20:30 |
| Ben_Cs | ok | 20:33 |
| Ben_Cs | will check the one from their site again | 20:33 |
| Ben_Cs | BTW, how do i make my panel real cool? like glossy/with background picture, etc? | 20:34 |
| thegeeker | Ben_Cs, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3517612&postcount=396 | 20:36 |

| thegeeker | hm | 20:37 |
| Ben_Cs | but nothing like i seen in kde? | 20:38 |
| Ben_Cs | been thinking that best pannel designs came from xfce | 20:39 |
| thegeeker | I think you can do almost anything in GTK, but there are not a lot of built-in customizations. Tyhe point of xubuntu is to stay light and fast, not to run a bunch of eye-candy | 20:39 |
| thegeeker | !customize-panel | 20:40 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about customize-panel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:40 |
| * thegeeker grumbles | 20:40 | |
| Ben_Cs | i see. but still eye candy should be easy to do, right? | 20:40 |
| thegeeker | I don't about easy, but it is possible | 20:41 |
| thegeeker | You can see some examples in that link that will give you an idea about how easy it is to customize | 20:41 |
| march | n8 | 20:43 |
| Ben_Cs | what i like about xfce is the organization. kde handles things nicely in gui, but if u want to go editing files, it's harder to find your arms and legs there than in xfce. don't you agree? and xfce has a very nice gui aswell | 20:45 |
| thegeeker | !xubuntu-custom-panel is You can find a few tips about customizing your Xubuntu panels at the following link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3517612&postcount=396 | 20:45 |

| * vinze sees | 20:46 | |

| vinze | Ben_Cs, what I like about Xfce is its speed :) | 20:46 |
| vinze | thegeeker, well perhaps you can but we just don't know how to? :) | 20:46 |
| thegeeker | Ben_Cs, I like XFCE's lack of meaningless eye candy and fluff | 20:47 |
| vinze | thegeeker, and the ability to add it yourself if you *do* like that ;-) | 20:47 |
| thegeeker | vinze, I was following the instructions at the ubotu wiki page | 20:47 |
| Ben_Cs | thegeeker: yeh, kde has too much anymation indeed. | 20:48 |

| cGc | hey i'm installing xubuntu through VMware... do i select ubuntu under the OS menu, or Other Linux 2.6.x kernel? | 23:28 |
| cGc | i was under the impression that xubuntu is ubuntu, just toned down | 23:29 |
| cGc | also, what kernel version does the latest xubuntu use? i'm downloading it right now, so it will be the most recent | 23:31 |
| zoredache | cGc: it doesn't matter | 23:31 |
| zoredache | other linux or ubuntu both result in a identical vmware config | 23:31 |
| cGc | okay | 23:32 |
| cGc | you know if core2 duo and 2gb of ram will run that pretty well with vista hosting the xubuntu VM | 23:32 |
| zoredache | and the kernel on an up-to-date xubuntu 7.10 is 2.6.22-14-generic | 23:32 |
| zoredache | I didn't know that Vista could run anything well... But that might good... | 23:33 |
| cGc | yeah you are right about that, i dual boot with ubuntu and vista and want to be able to have a quick access to linux when i'm running vista so i figured xubuntu would be a good candidate | 23:34 |
| cGc | (for the VM) | 23:34 |
