[01:11] <CraZy675> quick question, does ktorrent work on xubuntu?
[01:12] <somerville32> CraZy675, You might have to pull in KDE dependencies
[01:13] <CraZy675> hmm maybe I'll try the gnome one
[01:13] <CraZy675> or is it same deal there
[01:14] <somerville32> That Azereus one is good
[01:14] <CraZy675> no azureus requires java which sucks up memory
[01:16] <CraZy675> i only have 192mb of ram
[01:16] <CraZy675> 128 i mean
[01:16] <mttr> how do you find xubuntu with that much memory (for speed )
[01:17] <mttr> looking for distro for old system
[01:18] <CraZy675> seems perfect to me
[01:18] <CraZy675> I was using DSL before but ubuntu is just easier
[01:18] <CraZy675> Damn Small Linux
[01:18] <mttr> well its not for me so ease of use is primary
[01:19] <CraZy675> yea xubuntu is cool so far
[01:19] <mttr> i notice that use xfs instead of ext3 seems to work better
[01:19] <CraZy675> just installed it 10 minutes ago
[01:20] <CraZy675> I don't notice
[01:20] <mttr> less drive trashing
[01:20] <CraZy675> this is just a old pc I have that Im leaving at my friends house to download torrents
[01:21] <CraZy675> so I need a torrent client and remote desktop
[01:21] <mttr> well that should do the trick
[01:21] <CraZy675> and i have a portable ext3 harddrive
[01:21] <CraZy675> usb 2.0
[01:21] <CraZy675> have not tried it yet
[01:23] <mttr> i have an old laptop that i want to install it on, but the cdrom is broken and doesn't support usb boot, so i'm in  bit of pickle
[01:24] <CraZy675> can't you boot from a floppy then use usb?
[01:27] <mttr> floppy is avail but getting to the usb after is the problem
[01:27] <CraZy675> ah I threw out all my floppies
[01:27] <CraZy675> kept one in my collectors items
[01:28] <mttr> i need some smart booter that will recognize the usb after
[01:29] <CraZy675> sounds like its not worth the trouble
[01:30] <CraZy675> PCs are only $400 from dell
[01:30] <CraZy675> laptops 700ish
[01:31] <CraZy675> oh I got ktorrent working
[01:31] <CraZy675> I just changed from the default server to a canadian one
[01:33] <mttr> yep.. i just hate throught out a laptop, althought the battery is also shot,, so only good as a terminal
[01:35] <aroo> Is there anyway to disable whatever extra desktop effects / desktop manager addons Xubuntu launches from a default install?
[01:35] <aroo> It seems like after going from 7.04 to 7.10, my boot time and desktop loading is a lot slower.
[01:36] <aroo> Noticeably so to the point of annoying.
[01:38] <mttr> well there should a services menu somewere
[01:39] <mttr> thinks like bluetooth etc could be turned off
[03:05] <erick_rauda> hi
[03:05] <erick_rauda> someone
[06:16] <mikubuntu> hola, guys.  i forgot how to find program location with the terminal... the program is sumi draw.  i tried whereis sumi draw and every variation i could think of but no output, can someone give me a hand?
[06:17] <mikubuntu> i want to put it into the menu
[06:19] <stone[no]> which sumi* or locate sumi* or find / -iname sumi* |grep bin/
[06:19] <fiyawerx> hey guys, is anyone here also in xfce? Don't think I've ever even been in there but it's telling me I'm banned when I try to join
[06:51] <mikubuntu> hola, guys.  i forgot how to find program location with the terminal... the program is sumi draw.  i tried whereis sumi draw and every variation i could think of but no output, can someone give me a hand?
[06:51] <mikubuntu> i want to put it into the menu
[06:53] <zoredache_> what was the name of the package?
[06:54] <zoredache> sometimes if a packages is particularly annoying you can just list the contents of the files that got installed
[06:55] <zoredache> for example a 'dpkg -L lynx' shows me everything that came with lynx
[06:58] <mikubuntu> ok, i did locate sumi and got this: mikubuntu@ubuntu:~$ locate sumi
[06:58] <mikubuntu> /usr/share/app-install/desktop/kasumi.desktop
[06:58] <mikubuntu> /usr/share/app-install/icons/kasumi.png
[06:58] <mikubuntu> what part do i want to enter as command for menu?
[07:00] <fiyawerx> wow, I have to say, now that I've been on an xfce kick, xubuntu might bring me back the *buntu fold, im impressed
[10:09] <kallepersson> Hi! I have a laptop running Xubuntu, anyone knows how to set its energy saving settings?
[10:10] <kallepersson> It goes down into hibernation after a while running on battery and I don't want that.
[10:10] <kallepersson> (Because after waking it up the mouse/kbd totally freeze, but that's not my main problem)
[11:31] <kallepersson> Isn
[11:32] <kallepersson> Isn't laptop users using Xubuntu?
[11:33] <scizzo-> some are
[11:34] <kallepersson> scizzo-: Are you? If so, have you experienced my problem as well?
[11:36] <scizzo-> no I am using a normal workstation.....
[11:36] <flox> kallepersson: which problem? i use xubuntu daily on my laptop
[11:37] <kallepersson> flox: <kallepersson> Hi! I have a laptop running Xubuntu, anyone knows how to set its energy saving settings?
 It goes down into hibernation after a while running on battery and I don't want that.
 (Because after waking it up the mouse/kbd totally freeze, but that's not my main problem)
[11:37] <flox> i disabled hibernation, bec it does not work on my laptop
[11:38] <flox> i do not remembre, i have to look
[11:38] <kallepersson> I'd like to disable hibernation as well
[11:42] <flox> kallepersson: maybe try to edit file /etc/default/acpi-support
[11:42] <flox> there you find some options
[11:43] <kallepersson> flox: will try, thanks
[11:43] <kallepersson> XFCE is really nice.
[11:43] <flox> yes, I use it since the beginning on my laptop (1 year ago)
[11:44] <kallepersson> The Tango icons on the desktop is also a very nice addition.
[11:44] <kallepersson> I use it on an old laptop from '96
[11:44] <flox> I use Rodent icons
[11:44] <kallepersson> Oh
[11:44] <flox> but Tango are good, too
[11:45] <kallepersson> IIRC it was you Buntu guys who put them in XFCE in the first place
[11:46] <kallepersson> The compositioning stuff is also neat
[12:18] <kallepersson> flox: seems to work now... thanks! :-)
[12:19] <flox> kallepersson: great. have a nice day
[12:19] <kallepersson> You too!
[12:24] <kallepersson> flox: damn! didn't work >_<
[12:25] <kallepersson> It "shuts down" (suspended i guess) after a while and when I restart it screen is frozen
[12:26] <flox> you disabled both ACPI_HIBERNATE and ACPI_SLEEP ?
[12:26] <flox> in the config file
[12:27] <kallepersson> yes
[12:27] <kallepersson> both
[12:27] <kallepersson> and some extra options
[12:27] <flox> ...
[12:27] <kallepersson> Do I need to do something else?
[12:28] <kallepersson> The extra options weren't anything that could interfere.
[12:29] <flox> $ cat /var/log/acpid |grep acpi|tail
[12:29] <flox> to see last ACPI events
[12:29] <flox> and watch if some "suspend" or "hibernate" has been triggered
[12:29] <kallepersson> thx
[12:30] <flox> (i guess you have rebooted your PC after changing the options in /etc)
[12:30] <kallepersson> yes
[12:31] <flox> if you do not want to see all "power.sh" events:
[12:32] <flox> cat /var/log/acpid |grep acpi|grep -v power
[12:33] <kallepersson> um
[12:34] <kallepersson> seems like i haven't got any /var/log/acpid
[12:35] <flox> mmm ok
[12:36] <kallepersson> locate acpid doesn't tell me anything useful either
[12:37] <kallepersson> oh well
[12:37] <kallepersson> thanks for the help, I'll do a search on google about it
[12:37] <flox> kallepersson: some packages are not installed ?
[12:38] <flox> or acpi is not running
[12:38] <kallepersson> Just a standard xubuntu install
[12:38] <flox> kallepersson: mine is an upgraded xubuntu (from edgy)
[12:38] <flox> with some tuning
[12:38] <kallepersson> Ooh... I tried to run acpi -> No ACPI support in kernel, or incorrect path ("/proc/acpi")
[12:44] <flox> kallepersson: this is an old laptop ?
[12:44] <kallepersson> Yes
[12:44] <kallepersson> from '96 or something
[12:45] <flox> you have to force acpi if you need it
[12:46] <flox> found info on this page:
[12:46] <flox> http://entropicblur.com/dectop/guide.html

[12:48] <march> Hi :) I've got two questions concerning Xubuntu 7.10.
[12:48] <march> 1. While booting my system the display of my notebook turns on/off a few times. I think that this isn't very good for my display. What can I do to eliminate this?
[12:48] <march> 2. Sometimes I've got systemfreezes. Mostly after working with Xubuntu for a few hours. My hardware is all right. So where is the mistake?
[12:48] <march> I've searched the web - mostly german pages - but haven't found a solution right now. Perhaps I've used the wrong keywords 'cause english isn't my mother-tongue.
[12:50] <TheSheep> march: do you have a splash screen displayed when you're booting?
[12:50] <TheSheep> march: with a progress bar and stuff
[12:50] <march> Yes - the splash is displayed. ALso the progress bar
[12:51] <TheSheep> march: when is the screen disabled?
[12:51] <march> When the progress bar is displayed - twice. While loading the gdm also twice.
[12:53] <TheSheep> march: what graphics card do you have?
[12:54] <flox> march: for point 2, look if swap is enabled
[12:54] <flox> $ cat /proc/swaps
[12:54] <march> swap is enebled
[12:55] <march> "/dev/sda5                               partition       3004112 0       -1"
[12:55] <march> Graphic card: Intel® GMA 900   							
[12:55] <flox> march: does the freeze happen when you let your laptop alone ?
[12:56] <TheSheep> march: also, check 'dmesg' for any suspicious error messages
[12:56] <flox> i experienced some freeze when it try to suspend or hibernate
[12:56] <march> No - it happens mostly after a few hours while surfing the web. It dosn't matter which application is running
[12:58] <march> my dmesg: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/28797/
[13:00] <TheSheep> march: I will give you a web address to open in your firefox. it only contains a single very long line. See if it crashes your system. There was a bug in firefox that did that on some graphics cards.
[13:00] <march> Found: PCI Interrupt Link / iomem range 0x0-0x9ffff could not be reserved
[13:00] <TheSheep> march: save your all work before opening it
[13:00] <march> Thank you :)
[13:00] <TheSheep> march: http://atos.wmid.amu.edu.pl/~sheep/test.html
[13:01] <march> System still running
[13:02] <TheSheep> march: that's good :)
[13:02] <TheSheep> march: your dmesg looks good too
[13:03] <march> Then where might be the mistake?
[13:04] <march> There are no signs before my system freezes.
[13:04] <flox> no memory load? or CPU loa?
[13:04] <flox> load
[13:05] <march> Hardware seems to be OK. Nothing out of the ordinary.
[13:08] <flox> march: you choose the "intel" driver, not the "i810" one ?
[13:09] <march> intel is chosen
[13:11] <flox> it is a new notebook? how long it takes before to freeze ?
[13:12] <march> Normally it takes about 6 or 7 hours. Sometimes (very rarely) several minutes
[13:12] <march> It's this one: http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?service=DE&PRODUCT_ID=133118&toshibaShop=false
[13:13] <march> A few things I've already solved as you can read in our wiki: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Toshiba_Satellite_L40
[13:13] <flox> I have a Toshiba, too :p
[13:13] <TheSheep> march: have you run the memtest?
[13:13] <TheSheep> ran
[13:13] <march> Yes - everything OK
[13:14] <TheSheep> if there were any problems with disk, they would show in the dmesg
[13:15] <TheSheep> march: maybe you can try and use the i810 driver
[13:15] <TheSheep> march: run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to change it
[13:15] <march> OK - I'll try this. :)
[13:16] <march> What means " ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found." in Line 101 of my dmesg?
[13:18] <TheSheep> "DSDT stands for Differentiated System Description Table. It is a part of the ACPI specification and it supplies configuration information about a base system."
[13:19] <TheSheep> from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSDT#DSDT_.28Differentiated_System_Description_Table.29
[13:20] <TheSheep> march: maybe rebuilding the initrd would get rid of it
[13:21] <TheSheep> march: you can do it with 'sudo  dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r)'
[13:23] <march> TheSheep: Thank you very much - I'll try this. I also found an article in our wiki concerning how to fix ACPI - maybe this helps too
[13:46] <march> reboot ;)
[13:59] <march> I've made all changes. I'll report if it works. Thanks :D
[17:26] <schlumpf-> hi with what programm can i open .rar files?
[17:27] <schlumpf-> *open and unpach ofcourse :)
[17:27] <TheSheep> schlumpf-: with file roller, you just need to install the 'unrar' or 'rar' packages before that
[17:27] <TheSheep> !info rar
[17:27] <ubotu> rar: Archiver for .rar files. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.7b1-2 (gutsy), package size 494 kB, installed size 1012 kB (Only available for i386 amd64)
[17:29] <schlumpf-> thank you TheSheep
[17:29] <TheSheep> schlumpf-: you need to enable the multiverse repository in software sources
[17:30] <schlumpf-> i just dl that unrar package
[17:30] <schlumpf-> works fine

[18:21] <TheSheep> xine
[18:22] <TheSheep> sancas: so you only need to install the codecs for xine, and maybe the w32codecs
[18:22] <sancas> Ok let me try to have it pass

[21:12] <march> (Sorry for my bad english. It is quite difficult for me to describe technical things in english.)
[21:13] <Artemis_> no prob, my english is bad too:p
[21:13] <Artemis_> are you greek? in any case xD
[21:15] <march> german :)
[21:15] <Artemis_> here in greece there is an isp provider giving these telindus routers and by doing some search on google i ve found some guys with the same problem (using telindus router). they said that they finally sold it but they didn;t say how
[21:16] <Artemis_> solved*
[21:16] <Artemis_> oh i can speak german too
[21:16] <Artemis_> lass uns auf deutsch srpechen
[21:16] <Artemis_> sprechen*
[21:17] <march> I think this would be impolite in an english channel.
[21:17] <Artemis_> oh ok, then english xD
[21:18] <march> I'll try my very best ;)
[21:19] <march> Perhaps there is a new firmware on the providers homepage?
[21:19] <retour> Hi all! I have xubuntu with nvidia restricted driver. How to change referesh rate or execute nvidia-configurator etc??? 60Hz kills my eyes
[21:20] <Artemis_> no there isnt
[21:20] <Artemis_> :/
[21:21] <soldats> you can change it in the xorg.conf
[21:21] <soldats> just the basics though
[21:23] <march> Is your router available from another vendor?
[21:23] <march> My greek isn't the very best and most pages I found via google are greek :)
[21:23] <Artemis_> yes it is
[21:25] <march> http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Telindus/1131/Echolink.htm
[21:28] <march> Are you using usb with it Artemis_?
[21:28] <Artemis_> how can port forwarding help me? :/
[21:28] <Artemis_> ethernet
[21:29] <retour> soldats: thank you. I have xorg.conf opened. There is a line with all modes like "1024x768" but where and what to add to force it to be 85Hz refresh rate at this mode???
[21:30] <gtlarue> I'm on an eexubuntu, and I am having problems installing flash, I am following a postes solution, and up to the line where it installs nspluginwrapper, it works, but it seems that nspluginwrapper is not available to install
[21:31] <march> Did it work before? Have you changed any options?
[21:31] <gtlarue> flash never worked, there are several forum threds with these little guides on how to make it work
[21:31] <gtlarue> but they all rely on this nspluginwrapper
[21:32] <gtlarue> and apt is saying there is none
[21:32] <soldats> retour,  there should be a mode section with the refresh rate. theres also a section for the refresh rate span like 50 - 100 but in the mode section set it to 85, if you cant find it try googling set refresh rate ubuntu.
[21:32] <gtlarue> err, whoops, I ned that question was aimed at somebody else
[21:32] <soldats> gtlarue, go to the adobe page and download the tar.gz and install freom there, have you tried that
[21:33] <gtlarue> yeah, tried that
[21:33] <soldats> strange
[21:33] <Artemis_> i haben't changed anything, and it never worked =/ but with xp i can connect normaly to the internet
[21:33] <march> I meant Artemis_ :)
[21:33] <Artemis_> haven*
[21:34] <retour> soldats: OK! thanks I will try "1024x768, 85" hope it will work
[21:35] <soldats> consult google as well though for configuring Xorg
[21:35] <march> That's odd
[21:36] <Artemis_> i agree
[21:38] <Artemis_> as i said, i can visit my router's page with 0% loss, but i can't visit any other pages
[21:38] <soldats> thats the wierdest problem, normally when you cant connect to any pages you cant to connect to the router
[21:39] <soldats> try  a router reset to default it then restart the modem and plug in the router again.
[21:40] <Artemis_> i ve done it, but nothing changed
[21:40] <march> Are you using DHCP?
[21:41] <soldats> are you being assigned an ip address
[21:41] <gtlarue> what is the installation path of the mozilla, Netscape, or Opera browser?
[21:41] <soldats> ~/.mozilla
[21:41] <gtlarue> the flash installer asks me and I dont know what to answer
[21:42] <Artemis_> yes
[21:42] <Artemis_> i am using dhcp
[21:43] <Artemis_> maybe my problem doesn't have a solution xD
[21:43] <march> On my System I'd problems while using dhcp. Try to give your PC a static adress - hope this will help.
[21:44] <sancas> I would like to know how to install themes in my xubuntu ?¿¿¿??? Graphic mode if it can be but ... But pure terminal
[21:44] <Artemis_> how can i give a static adress to my pc? i suck at pc-things;p
[21:46] <Artemis_> anyway, thanks guys for the help. hope i will solve the problem. if not, i'll be back again xD
[21:46] <march> Artemis_: I only found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=336073
[21:48] <Artemis_> yes i ve seen it, and went to the link he gaved at the end, but the thread has somehow dissapeard:/
[21:48] <march> Two threads linked to this page. Said that there problem with tel* are solved
[21:48] <march> Ohh - frag
[21:49] <Artemis_> and th 2nd link is not the same problem
[21:49] <march> On german pages I haven't found any solutions concerning your problem. Sorry for that :(
[21:50] <Artemis_> and if i try to give the command  sudo gedit /etc/solv.conf(or something else, dont remember it right now) it will not recognise the "gedit" :/
[21:51] <march> gedit is an editor
[21:51] <march> use mousepad instead of gedit
[21:51] <Artemis_> the same command with mousepad instead of gedit?
[21:52] <march> yep
[21:53]  * march is back in a few minutes
[22:28] <march> goodnight :)
[22:46] <soulroot> hi(gh)
[22:49] <soulroot> anyone know if i can transfer my files (37GB) onto an old windows desktop and then when i switch my laptop over to Xubuntu will be able to transfer them back? was thinking ethernet cable..
[22:50] <soulroot> i don't want to switch and not have my music, etc
[22:51] <soulroot> 70 ppl, no ideas?
[22:51] <soulroot> day 2 xubuntu here, would like to get off this damned xp by tomorrow
[22:54] <soulroot> hello?
[22:56] <soulroot> ok, i am trying to preserve my files for the change over to xubuntu, does anyone know if i can make an ethernet connection and get my 37gb back off of an old desktop with xp running once i reformat this laptop i'm typing on with xubuntu?
[22:57] <zoredache> sure, why do you think you wouldn't be able to do that?
[22:57] <penos> zoredache: stop being childish
[22:57] <soulroot> compatability
[22:57] <soulroot> i imagine a can
[22:58] <soulroot> will i need a new program or something for the link to the windows box?
[22:58] <zoredache> well if you want to do yoru transfer from the linux host then you are probably going to need to get an smbclient running
[22:58] <zoredache> or smbfs
[22:59] <zoredache> if you want to transfer from the windows box, then all you should have to do is install the openssh-server on the linux box, then use filezilla/winscp to move stuff back and forth
[23:00] <zoredache> ssh is probably a lot easier, but it will be slower
[23:00] <soulroot> yeah, didn't think of wireless cause the old windows box has only wired ethernet
[23:01] <soulroot> though if i hook it up to the modem's port, could i then get to it wirelessly? with winscp equivalent
[23:02] <zoredache> sorry?  you lost me.  Whats this about wireless, and modems?
[23:02] <soulroot> heh, sry
[23:03] <imcsk8> hello, i want to install xubuntu on a ibook. is there any iso image around for 7.10??
[23:04] <soulroot> i have a laptop which will be using xubuntu tomorrow, can i connect to my internet via my wireless dsl and access the files on my other computer (an old windows box running xp that has no wireless card, but DOES have an ethernet port)
[23:05] <soulroot> ..from the xubuntu laptop
[23:06] <zoredache> soulroot: if that wireless dsl router has the wireless interface on the same layer 2 network as the windows box, then yes
[23:07] <zoredache> the windows box is connected to a ethernet port on the 'inside' of the wireless router?
[23:08] <soulroot> um..the dsl router has a few ethernet ports on the back
[23:08] <soulroot> and the windows box has an ethernet card for highspeed but not wireless
[23:08] <zoredache> what is the windows box connected to?
[23:09] <soulroot> it will connect to my modem (you called it a wireless router)
[23:10] <soulroot> right now it's connected to the dust in my junk closet, hah
[23:10] <zoredache> it sounds like it should work.  If you are transfering a lot of stuff (sounds like you are), you really should get the laptop a wired connection though
[23:11] <soulroot> oh, it has one
[23:11] <soulroot> u said wireless would be best. but yeah so i could just throw a ethernet cable between the two boxes then
[23:11] <soulroot> cool
[23:12] <zoredache> I don't believe I said wireless would be best...
[23:12] <soulroot> is there anything built into Xu7.10 that could manage the transfer? u mentioned smb..
[23:12] <soulroot> sorry, didn't mean to misinterpret/quote
[23:13] <soulroot> ..mis-paraphrase-ify
[23:13] <zoredache> if you want to transfer files from the linux box to the windows box then you would need want to install smbfs, and connect to a shared folder on the windows box
[23:14] <soulroot> ok, thanks pal i appreciate the help
[23:14] <zoredache> if you where on the windows box, and you wanted to pull the files from the linux box, then you could install an ssh server onto the linux box, then use filezilla/winscp
[23:14] <soulroot> oh, i thought ssh was for wireless?
[23:15] <soulroot> i use it with my unlocked iphone
[23:15] <zoredache> no.  ssh is a remote shell protocol
[23:15] <zoredache> it can be used for lots of neat things.  It can be a file server (SSH-FTP), it can be used for creating vpns, it can be used to get a remote terminal on a host
[23:16] <soulroot> right on
[23:16] <soulroot> i am familiar with winscp, it reminds me of the old unix stuff i messed with to ftp files back in the 90's
[23:17] <soulroot> wheni made stupid html webpages
[23:17] <zoredache> so, anyway I was saying, on your ubuntu box, you would do a (sudo apt-get install openssh-server).,. on your windows client you would use winscp, and simply connect to the ip address of your laptop
[23:17] <soulroot> ok
[23:17] <soulroot> thank you
[23:18] <SportGuy> soulroot: thank you
[23:18] <soulroot> ?
[23:21] <soulroot> see you all on the other side =) zoredache, peace and take care
[23:39] <squirrelpimp> hi
[23:40] <squirrelpimp> i'm looking for an universal editor for xubuntu/gtk, possibly as versatile as the eclipse-ide but faster for editing single files, but not as complicated to handle as vim
[23:40] <zoredache> squirrelpimp: I really like scite
[23:41] <squirrelpimp> i used to use vim, but programming in eclipse got me used to its shortcuts and made me uncomfortable using vim
[23:41] <squirrelpimp> i stopped typing :w in eclipse and started pressing strg+s in vim
[23:41] <squirrelpimp> :)
[23:41] <squirrelpimp> zoredache: thanks, i'll have a look at it
[23:41] <squirrelpimp> i found gedit, but it looks very basic and simple
[23:41] <zoredache> an sudo apt-get install scite sould get it for you
[23:42] <squirrelpimp> zoredache: yeah, i hoped to do that next
[23:42] <squirrelpimp> :)
[23:43] <squirrelpimp> hehe... ctrl+d deletes a line in eclipse but doubles it in scite
[23:43] <squirrelpimp> :)
[23:44] <zoredache> there is a lot of things you can change in the configuration.  That may include remapping what keys do what
[23:44] <squirrelpimp> i'll have a look at that
[23:44] <squirrelpimp> usually i prefer to not change keymappings however, as i have well-known tools on every pc then
[23:45] <zoredache> ah, scite is nice because it multiplatform.  If you need to edit from windows you can use the same editor that you use on your linux host
[23:45] <squirrelpimp> nice
[23:47] <squirrelpimp> oh, it uses config-files... i like that
