[01:13] Hello world! [01:14] Anyone there who has expericence installing texlive under gutsy? [01:14] !texlive [01:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about texlive - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:14] !auctex [01:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about auctex - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:14] !anything [01:14] So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. [01:14] !botsnack [01:14] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [01:15] ? [01:15] zoredache: hi [01:15] he needed to be fed, after that interogation. [01:15] huh? [01:15] omg [01:16] * texnicer slaps himself and grabs a bunch of botsnacks from the fridge [01:16] * texnicer feeding the trolls erm... bots [01:17] I don't know anything about texlive sorry. What is it? [01:17] I mean this is english-speaking. U.S time is approx 5-8 in the evening... almost noone online? [01:17] texlive is the rather new distribution of LaTeX under linux [01:17] While LaTeX is a markup for TeX [01:18] the #xubuntu channel is almost always empty. If you want a busy channel see #ubuntu [01:18] "it has to do with typesetting" [01:18] i wanna see ppl using my xfce =) [01:18] like i install on my 2 P2-300/128MB [01:19] mobile [01:19] zoredache: so you are U.S.? [01:19] I am German. *wavehand* === texnicer is now known as TeXnicer [01:20] texnicer: yes, I am in the U.S. Washington state specifically. [01:21] I see [01:21] just a thought, but did you try doing an 'sudo apt-get install textlive-full' ? [01:22] i did [01:22] that is why i have time [01:22] to be honest i left out the "full" and added some suggested packaged [01:22] -d+s [01:23] now I need to find out what is really imporant while not SPAMing my HD (1GB left only) [01:23] *important [01:24] You heard about TeX/LaTeX? [01:24] nope [01:24] it's very simple [01:24] a markup like HTML [01:24] but it produces (traditionally: .dvi) and .ps and .pdf [01:25] perfect for managing big works like master thesis [01:25] sectioning and footnotes, extraordinary for math formulars, excellent graphics-environment for precise sketching and plotting [01:26] interested in examples? [01:26] not really [01:27] i see. sorry. It is my passion, but that is easlily to be guessed hm?! [01:27] What you are up to? [01:27] What purpose is your use of Linux? [01:28] I am resonsible for about 40 debian-based servers that perform varios roles like (firewall,cache,web server,mail server) [01:28] ouch [01:28] like: money. [01:28] like 24/7 [01:29] I see [01:29] do you know SVG? Scaleable Vector Graphics? [01:29] nope [01:29] it's a graphical markup for websites [01:29] small [01:30] and precise [01:30] like i did in a small piece of work 'arbelos' (from archimedes): the circles area is the same of the yellow marked area (if you hit the text below) [01:31] FLächenmarkierung = area highlighting [01:31] http://141.76.121.6/~lego/arbe2.svg [01:32] * TeXnicer senses that he never gonna use the croatian language support texlive installs right noe [01:34] oO [01:39] Hi _slvmchn_ [01:59] how to invite ppl into a seperate channel? [01:59] ... /msg chanserv #channel nick does not work [01:59] first of all, you have to be authed to the server [02:00] i am [02:00] does the channel have to be registered? [02:00] which client do you use? i dont know the command, i usually use rightclick at the nick [02:01] oh wait, no [02:01] this is another one [02:01] i thought you mean query [02:02] "/invite #channel doesnt do? [02:03] leche? [02:03] pigding on 7.10 Gutsy gibbon [02:04] wait a mom [02:05] /invite [Nick] #Channel [02:05] @ TeXnicer [02:05] invite me to test [02:06] did it work? [02:07] none =/ [02:07] well ill check that out another day [02:08] there should be some description in the net, hum? [02:08] gtb soon [02:08] 3 ion the morning oO [02:08] i found this one http://www.irc-mania.de/ircbefehle.php [02:09] i guess youre german, so you should be able to read it [02:09] =) good guess [02:09] Is my articulation as bad or from whois? [02:09] FLächenmarkierung = area highlighting [02:10] xD [02:10] aregh those damit umlauts got me [02:10] * TeXnicer was owned by "ä" [02:10] nö, ich kenn das wort einfach :-P [02:10] where the heck did you know that is german? [02:10] omg [02:11] wie bekommt man seine IP aus dem whois? [02:11] hast du es dir wenigstens angeguckt? [02:11] ja [02:11] klar [02:12] wieso nimmst du dir keine cloak? [02:12] wird es wohl einen unterschied machen, wenn ich auf einem P2-300 mit 7.10 von 64MB auf 192/256/384MB aufrüste? [02:12] wie "cloak"? [02:12] !cloak [02:12] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [02:13] okay [02:13] das gucke ich mir dann mal an [02:13] TeXnicer, durchaus sinnvoll dem system etwas ram zu gönnen [02:13] naja [02:14] bei einem P2-300 mobile [02:14] das 333 notebook von compaq verträgt nur max 192 [02:14] was hast du denn laufen? xubuntu? [02:14] hier werde ich mal testen wieviel die zwei slots nehmen [02:14] ja [02:14] auf beiden [02:14] ugs. 6.06 weil ich dachte das sei schlanker [02:14] ich bekomm denmächst einen sony vayo ähnlichen ausmaßes [02:14] ne... [02:14] gratulation [02:15] darf ich fragen wo du herkommst? [02:15] wollte entweder xubuntu oder dsl draufmachen [02:15] göttingen, warum? [02:15] dsl habe ich probiert [02:15] dresden [02:15] nur so [02:15] ich mache den tex-stammtisch hier [02:15] falls du student bist, wäre das vielleicht interessant für dich gewesen [02:16] klar [02:16] was machst du so? [02:16] ich hab zwar noch gar nichts mit gemacht, wollte mir es demnächst aber mal anschauen [02:16] hihi [02:16] na dann [02:16] www.dante.de [02:16] wollen wir in deinen stammtisch gehen? [02:16] www.carstenvogel.de [02:16] ? [02:16] ist kein channel [02:16] ich dachte du hast nen channel hier [02:16] achso... [02:16] das ist RL [02:16] und mit dem einladen... [02:16] xD [02:17] kann ich dich als buddy adden? [02:17] ich versuche das mal [02:17] hast du jabber? [02:18] versuche mal #borsi34 zu joinen [04:39] hello all. Ive installed xfce on ubuntu using apt-get install xubuntu-desktop from a base install. The fonts on the desktop are so small they are unreadable. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I'm googling and every solution I have found thus far has failed [05:08] Gumby, You might try the xubuntu-users mailing list [05:08] Gumby, This channel is pretty dead at this time of day [05:09] ok, thx somerville32 [05:10] I might just install ubuntu-desktop meta package instead :) [05:12] lol [05:13] I'm really only using the box to run mythtv. I would have preferred a light desktop but if I cant get the font situation figured out its a moot point :) [05:17] Why not run Mythbuntu? [05:27] somerville32: because I am using a DVB-S card for satellite that needs special patches to mythtv [05:27] mythtv needs to be compiled with these patches in so running a distro that includes mythtv is somewhat pointless [05:28] Mythbuntu doesn't ship with those patches? [05:28] nope [05:28] its for decrypting encrypted satellite [05:48] getting "the disc is not writable" errors on writable discs using brasero. [05:57] hi all, i'm running xubuntu on an old p2 laptop with no network connection and have lost the menu panel, any ideas? [05:57] hi could someone help me out? i deleted my .config/xfce and cannot start the xfce desktop now [05:58] reeeh2000, can you open a terminal [05:58] soldats: 1 sec, let me see [05:59] soldats: yes [06:00] i think the command in terminal is "xfce4-panel" and it will either open the panel config menu or place the default panel in the desktop. sorry i cant check it right now since im not on my xubuntu hard drive [06:00] soldats: lets me give it a try [06:01] soldats: hurray, it worked! I love the terminal [06:01] :P me too [06:02] what happened wen you lost the panel [06:02] soldats: blast it, it dissapeared when i closed the terminal [06:02] xfce4-panel & [06:02] ^^ do that with th ampersand [06:02] it just didn't turn on at start up [06:02] err "xfce4-panel &" [06:03] then you should be able to close terminal [06:03] ok 1 sec [06:03] nope, it dissapears when i close it still [06:05] strange, ok well do it again minimize the terminal and go to the settings for sessions and click save session then restart and see if it helped [06:05] ok let me try [06:06] restarting now [06:07] ha okay my problem solved itself [06:07] * shekhar loves xubuntu on the asus eee [06:07] ok, its going now [06:07] thanks for the help [06:08] reeeh2000, awesome :P im glad [06:08] shekhar, what was the problem [06:08] soldats: disappearing panels [06:08] had something to do with removing compiz and borking the desktop settings [06:08] ahh, so it fixed itself?? [06:08] ahh [06:08] apparently yes :-) [06:09] cool :) [06:09] i just deleted .config/~xfce4 [06:09] it rebuilt itself after two or three tries [06:09] wow i didnt think it would do that [06:09] it just reset all the settings [06:09] took some time and prodding tho [06:10] thanks guys, loving the speed im getting out of this old p2 with xubuntu [06:10] gnight [06:11] bye bye [06:22] How do I turn off the system bell? [06:25] theres an option to turn off system bell but i forgot where. look around. i cant check for yousorry since im not on my xubuntu hdd [06:31] anyone know about installing xubuntu on pentium mmx I am getting some errors..less when I put acpi=off nolapic etc [06:33] ouch [06:33] is that i486? [06:34] don't think so...is pentium mmx 486? [06:35] heh, i586 apparently [06:35] ok [06:36] reason for the question is that i suspected it's missing some instructions which causes the errors [06:37] ok [06:37] Ah, xset -b [06:37] also iirc modern versions of glibc require i686 so your computer might have unexpected behaviour after boot [06:38] * Kuwanger wonders why glibc would require i686. [06:38] ok so what should I do [06:38] Kuwanger, i don't know, i ran into that while using gentoo [06:39] i am redownloading and burning a new xubuntu alt cd install since I thought maybe it froze during scanning cd phase [06:39] Kuwanger, it refuses to compile if you tell it that the cpu is lower than i686 [06:39] if i remember correctly [06:39] Odd. I recall Ubuntu's docs saying you could install on a 486. [06:40] sure you can [06:40] you just have to use glibc 2.2 [06:41] xubuntu is built for i686 so youll have to use the alt cd i think [06:42] alt cd is used [06:43] righ [06:43] right even [06:43] Kuwanger, iirc glibc 2.4 added the limitation to Linux [06:43] * Kuwanger goes back to wondering why DRI and GLX don't work appropriately. [06:44] but using a Linux with a non-recent glibc sucks anyway :p [06:44] at least if it's a desktop [06:45] since recent programs tend to require a recent glibc so you have your whole dependency chains downgraded to years ago... [06:52] Is there a simple way to find out what package a file belongs to, to list all installed packages, and to list the contents of an installed package? Can they be done while Synaptic is running in the background? [07:12] Kuwanger: yes all those things are possible [07:13] How? [07:14] to list all the installed packages 'dpkg --get-selections', to find the package a file belongs to dpkg -S "pattern" ' [07:14] those tasks can even be done as a non-root user [08:45] Hello there xubuntu [08:45] Any differences between xubuntu and ubuntu general usage wise? [09:01] quiet night eh? [09:02] Yeah, [09:02] *. [09:03] lol [09:03] *. *? [09:03] I should use that on my girl friend sometimes [09:04] No, I typed "," by accident [09:04] ._. [09:04] In other news, purged my system of mac [09:04] House, rather. [09:05] lol [09:05] ok [09:05] Which is awesome. [09:06] Been wanting to do that for a while. [09:07] I do it to all my new systems "before" I bring them into the house [09:07] Meh [09:07] I didn't get the mac. [09:07] It was my dads [09:08] oh [09:08] I suppose I could have had use for it if it was faster. [09:08] Not with OSX, of course, but meh. [09:08] Either way. [09:08] I'm on a Pentium Pro right now [09:08] 150 MHz ftw! [09:08] My laptop is faster than it [09:08] And cheaper, to boot. [09:08] lol [09:08] It cost me like $3 [09:08] Hell, my desktop is cheaper than the macl. [09:09] I wonder how much processing power my printer has [09:09] Or my X360 wireless controller [09:09] I think the controller has 30mhz. [09:09] LOL [09:10] The laser jet at work has like a 200 MHz CPU in it [09:10] Any chance you'd know how much power a Lexmark X5470 has? [09:11] yeah, about 25 MHz [09:12] Ooh. [09:12] How about my shiny new router? [09:12] D-Link DI-504 [09:13] -100 Mhz [09:13] ._. [09:13] Aw. [09:14] Uhm, A typical remote control? [09:15] like 5MHz [09:19] so....Tyroazard, what are you up to at this time of....morning?

[16:00] oh nm, i fixed it. I had a small error in my .bashrc [16:01] Good evening.Is it possible to use a Wlan card on a PII 450 Mhz with Xubuntu? [16:02] michaelnebe: what chipset is the wlan card? [16:03] i have to buy a new one.I havnt a card yet [16:05] oh i see. the kernel deals with that sort of thing so I'd imagine if it's compatible with ubuntu it'll work in xubuntu. Or are wlan cards very cpu intensive? [16:07] i think that wlan cards a very cpu intensive,so before i buy one i want to ask it it possible that a card work fine in my computer [18:20] maybeh sum1 can help me.. dont ban.. umm im on ubuntu trying to get ot fedora..

[18:22] do i click that.. cause the burn cd image fails [18:22] if it's over 3GB, it's definitely a DVD [18:22] yea but the problem is [18:22] when i burn it to dvd it says completed [18:22] i turn it on [18:22] boot it up [18:22] and i go back to ubuntu [18:22] it doesnt load the fedora? [18:23] you need to enable booting from cd in your bios [18:23] ive installed over like 9os in teh past 3 days [18:23] like sabayon..... Kubuntu.. and back to ubuntu [18:23] and they all worked except this one? [18:23] maybe the download is corrupted? [18:23] have you verified its md5? [18:24] md5?
