| holme93 | How can I see how much battery there is left on my laptop in Xubuntu | 13:02 |
| holme93 | ?? | 13:02 |
| TheSheep | holme93: there is a battery plugin | 13:06 |
| TheSheep | holme93: for the panel | 13:06 |
| holme93 | TheSheep: yeah I found a GNU program right now :) | 13:08 |
| holme93 | TheSheep: what kind of plugin where u thinking of? | 13:10 |
| TheSheep | holme93: right-click on your panel, select 'add item' and look for a 'battery plugin' | 13:11 |
| holme93 | TheSheep: ooh, nice :) | 13:13 |
| neeto | Is there any way that I can constrain mouse/keyboard input to a specific process? | 16:32 |
| neeto | So all input would be sent to that process, and ignored by every other running process? | 16:32 |
| TheSheep | neeto: applications can 'grab' the mouse/keyboard... | 16:32 |
| neeto | TheSheep: is there a way to implement that via the CLI? | 16:33 |
| neeto | TheSheep: My situation is that I am trying to run an opengl-based game on wine, which only supports dxgrab for directx games, therefore when I try to look around, I can only look in a certain direction, because my mouse is moving behind the game window and it runs into the side of my screen :/ | 16:34 |
| TheSheep | neeto: I think wine has options for that | 16:35 |
| neeto | TheSheep: only for directx... | 16:36 |
| TheSheep | anyways, I think you'd get much more accurate informations on how to implement it on some Xorg development channels | 16:37 |
| neeto | TheSheep: as in? | 16:39 |
| TheSheep | no idea, but there must be some | 16:44 |
| TheSheep | also other developer resources | 16:44 |
| TheSheep | mwybe #wine would be a good start? | 16:45 |
| Stroganoff | how can i enable write support for volumes mounted with thunar-volman? | 16:51 |
| zoredache | I would have to guess that it is probobably mounting your devices under a specific group. You probably just have to add yourself to that group... It would probably depend somewhat on the filesystem that was being mounted though | 16:53 |
| ant0n | Hi guys! | 16:54 |
| zoredache | if it was an ext3 filesystem then you would have to adjust the filesystem permissions so you have rights there | 16:54 |
| === gaurdro_ is now known as gaurdro | ||
| Stroganoff | thanks zoredache, you are right. it was an EXT2 volume | 16:55 |
| ant0n | Someone want to help med to get the "effects" starting? I've installd the packages needed and I find compis under: Applications > Advanced desktop..... | 16:55 |
| Stroganoff | the fat32 volume is write enabled, i just panicked :D | 16:55 |
| Stroganoff | any clue how to adjust the ext2 volume to be writeable by anyone? | 16:56 |
| zoredache | well I don't necessarily reccomend allowing anyone to write to your drive... but a command like 'sudo chmod -R 777 /media/mountpoint/' would do it | 16:57 |
| ant0n | I would be very happy if someone could take time and help a new linux user :) | 16:58 |
| zoredache | of course it might be better to create a group and put the users you want to have write access in that group | 16:58 |
| zoredache | !compvis | 16:58 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about compvis - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 16:58 |
| zoredache | !compviz | 16:58 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about compviz - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 16:58 |
| Stroganoff | thanks zoredache, i'll make it from here | 16:58 |
| Stroganoff | much obligded | 16:59 |
| zoredache | !compiz | ant0n | 16:59 |
| ubotu | ant0n: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 16:59 |
| zoredache | that is all I know about it ant0n | 16:59 |
| ant0n | Oh, thanks for compiz irc, I'll try some there :) | 16:59 |
| Stroganoff | ant0n, have you run "compiz --replace"? | 16:59 |
| Stroganoff | is your video card supported? | 17:00 |
| ant0n | Yes, Alt + F2 | 17:00 |
| ant0n | Yes, I think so! Im using a VIA unichrome card, and all drivers is working. | 17:00 |
| Stroganoff | cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep AIGLX | 17:00 |
| Stroganoff | i dont think VIA is supported | 17:01 |
| Stroganoff | 3d acceleration does not mean that compiz will run | 17:01 |
| Stroganoff | try "compiz --replace" in xterm and see the error msg.. | 17:01 |
| ant0n | Ok, but what is xterm? | 17:02 |
| zoredache | !terminal | 17:03 |
| ubotu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 17:03 |
| Stroganoff | Alt+F2 -> xterm | 17:04 |
| Stroganoff | sry to shatter your dream | 17:08 |
| ant0n | :) | 17:11 |
| ant0n | It seems as it does'nt work. Any other tips how to pimp the desktop? =P | 17:21 |
| Stroganoff | buy a geforce 2 mx ^^ | 17:25 |
| Stroganoff | connection problems, ant0n_? | 17:41 |
| ant0n_ | Yeah, internet cable (TPT?) is a litle fuck'd up =P | 17:42 |
| ant0n_ | Sweden? | 17:42 |
| ant0n_ | When i checkd my driver I see Im using VESA, but I installed VIA Unichrome driver with this command:apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-unichrome So it would say Im using VIA instead of VESA now ? | 17:43 |
| ant0n_ | It's i bit strange actually, is'nt it? | 17:44 |
| Stroganoff | try xserver-xorg-video-openchrome | 17:45 |
| ant0n_ | Just type that command ("xserver-xorg-video-openchrome") in to terminal? | 17:48 |
| Stroganoff | sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome | 17:48 |
| Stroganoff | copy/paste that | 17:48 |
| ant0n_ | Ok | 17:48 |
| ant0n_ | Is it better with openchrome? | 17:49 |
| Stroganoff | better than vesa | 17:50 |
| ant0n_ | ctrl + alt + backstage now after finish? | 17:50 |
| Stroganoff | first check your xorg.conf | 17:50 |
| ant0n_ | Ok | 17:50 |
| Stroganoff | replace "vesa" with "via" | 17:51 |
| ant0n_ | Yes! | 17:51 |
| ant0n_ | :9 | 17:51 |
| ant0n_ | :) | 17:51 |
| Stroganoff | ;) | 17:51 |
| ant0n_ | http://pastebin.se/193853 | 17:53 |
| ant0n_ | That's my xorg-conf | 17:53 |
| ant0n_ | Im not sure what to change, just replace VESA with VIA, or do I Have to type in VIA Openchrome or something? | 17:54 |
| Stroganoff | there are two device sections | 17:54 |
| Stroganoff | one too much | 17:54 |
| Stroganoff | i'd recommend: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 17:55 |
| ant0n_ | Ok, would you like to change xorg-conf so it will work fine 4 me? Would be greate if you could :) | 17:55 |
| ant0n_ | sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg - I'll try that one | 17:55 |
| ant0n_ | It just let me change ress | 17:57 |
| Stroganoff | it should rewrite your xorg.conf | 18:00 |
| ant0n_ | Yes, now it says VIA, thank you very very much ! :) | 18:00 |
| Stroganoff | now try glxgears | 18:00 |
| ant0n_ | In terminal? | 18:00 |
| Stroganoff | yes | 18:01 |
| ant0n_ | Ok | 18:01 |

| ant0n_ | Does it says anything to you? | 18:06 |
| Stroganoff | No whitelisted driver found | 18:06 |
| Stroganoff | compiz wont run on via | 18:06 |
| ant0n_ | Ok, to bad, to bad =P | 18:07 |
| ant0n_ | Strange, openchrome is open chellcode? So why not fix it so it would run with compiz? | 18:07 |
| Stroganoff | not easy to fix if via doesn't release specs | 18:08 |
| Stroganoff | compiz needs some fairly advanced functions | 18:08 |
| ant0n_ | Ok, but openchrome is open 4 everyone? | 18:09 |
| Stroganoff | yes | 18:09 |
| Stroganoff | you could try your best | 18:09 |
| Stroganoff | you might see that some games also won't work with this driver | 18:10 |
| ant0n_ | But I'd just install openchrome ? But it doesn't work, but in the future it might work :) | 18:10 |
| Stroganoff | theoretically ^^ | 18:10 |
| ant0n_ | =P | 18:10 |
| ant0n_ | Thank you for helping me, I really (fuck, whats the word for happy or thanksfull in english...) that you help't me :) | 18:11 |
| Stroganoff | appreciate | 18:12 |
| ant0n_ | Yeah, I really appreciate you'r help :) | 18:12 |
| ant0n_ | My English is not to good you see =P | 18:13 |
| Stroganoff | thats ok ^^ | 18:16 |
| Stroganoff | now you can play teewars | 18:16 |
| Stroganoff | www.teewars.com | 18:16 |
| ant0n_ | =) | 18:16 |
| Stroganoff | it also comes from sweden | 18:17 |
| ant0n_ | Ok, I'll see if I can install it, Im a linux newb ;) | 18:18 |
| ant0n_ | I would like to install it in the terminal, how to do that? | 18:18 |
| Stroganoff | pretty easy | 18:18 |
| Stroganoff | just untar and run | 18:19 |
| Stroganoff | wget http://www.teewars.com/files/teewars-0.3.4-linux_x86.tar.gz | 18:19 |
| Stroganoff | tar -xf teewars-0.3.4-linux_x86.tar.gz | 18:19 |
| Stroganoff | cd tee[tab] | 18:19 |
| Stroganoff | ./tee[tab] | 18:19 |
| Stroganoff | the last command runs the executable file | 18:20 |
| ant0n_ | Okej, but when i type in "tar -xf teewars-0.3.4-linux_x86.tar.gz" nothing happends. | 18:23 |
| Stroganoff | it should extract the tar | 18:27 |
| ant0n_ | ok, I'll try some more | 18:31 |
| Stroganoff | you could use your graphical archiver | 18:31 |
| Stroganoff | xarchiver or the thunar plugin | 18:31 |
| Stroganoff | are you sure that i didn't create a teewars-0.3.4-linux_x86 folder? | 18:32 |
| ant0n_ | i have no idea, as i said, im a newb =P | 18:35 |
| ant0n_ | Thanks 4 helping me :) I'll have to leave now =) | 18:39 |

| ron_o | as long as you install a .deb you can uninstall it right? with synaptic? | 21:30 |
| zoredache | you will be able to install it yes.. a .deb could do things to your system that aren't easily uninstall able though | 21:36 |
| ron_o | man, I hate that.. | 21:36 |
| ron_o | I'd like to get mplayer rc2 and I can only do so with a .deb file.. | 21:36 |
| ron_o | I wonder if there's a repository with it in there somewhere. | 21:37 |
| zoredache | eh? a .deb is good | 21:37 |
| ron_o | but it could do something nasty to my system.. | 21:38 |
| ron_o | ya know? | 21:38 |
| ron_o | I don't know if I want to even take a chance with it. | 21:38 |
| zoredache | well any time you install software it can do something nasty to your system | 21:38 |
| zoredache | a .deb is a fairly safe format because there are fairly strict packaging guidelines that most people follow | 21:38 |
| ron_o | ahh, and I'm also getting it from mplayer site so I should be OK then? | 21:39 |
| ron_o | the thing is I can update normally and all, right? | 21:39 |
| zoredache | if you are really woried, you could download the .deb extract the files, and check out the (pre|post)(int|rm) scripts | 21:39 |
| zoredache | most likely | 21:39 |
| ron_o | (I just got back on a XUbuntu system after many years of absence) | 21:40 |
| ron_o | thanks.. | 21:40 |
| ron_o | I'll try it out and intall it. | 21:40 |
| zoredache | it is the install/removal scripts that tend to be where the danger lies | 21:40 |
| zoredache | sometimes the install script will copy stuff into odd places and the removal script won't clean it up... or even worse... the removal script will delete stuff it shouldn't | 21:41 |
| ron_o | ahhh, thanks. I'll look at it and see how it goes. | 21:41 |
| ron_o | that's true because a .deb file can be used for other things other than Ubuntu.. so it could put things in odd places. | 21:42 |
| Dougal | Total newb to xubuntu, and linux in general. I have an mp3 file just downloaded from bbc.co.uk, can't play it in movie player because i'm missing the right plugin. How do i fix this? Or else what's a minimal, simple mp3 player I can install with the synaptic package manager? | 21:45 |
