| DaveKong | Anyone know how to get sound working in zsnes? | 00:45 |
| Stroganoff | DaveKong try to install the package alsa-oss | 00:57 |
| DaveKong | Stroganoff: ok | 00:58 |
| DaveKong | Stroganoff: not working... there anything else I need to do? | 01:00 |
| Stroganoff | try this: libsdl1.2debian-alsa | 01:02 |
| DaveKong | nope | 01:06 |
| Stroganoff | DaveKong: Do zsnes --help in a terminal, NR1224, and you'll get a list of ZSES' switches, including the various sound formats you can use. Try each one of these, and see which work; then you can set it as default by editing /.zsnes/zsnesl.cfg where it says "libAO driver to use." | 01:09 |
| Stroganoff | the sdl switch might work | 01:10 |
| DaveKong | NR1224? | 01:13 |
| DaveKong | I got a list of drivers | 01:13 |
| DaveKong | it is set to auto detect at the moment | 01:13 |
| Stroganoff | i pasted this from a ubuntuforums, NR1224 is a user | 01:13 |
| DaveKong | oh | 01:13 |
| Stroganoff | try to use the sdl switch instead of autodetect | 01:14 |
| DaveKong | how do I use the switch? | 01:17 |
| Stroganoff | the --help info tells you how to use it | 01:18 |
| Stroganoff | you may upload the output for me to read. use bash redirecting to write it to a file like this: | 01:19 |
| Stroganoff | zsnes --help > zsnes-help.txt | 01:19 |
| DaveKong | ok I put on in a file | 01:22 |
| DaveKong | how do I upload? | 01:22 |
| Stroganoff | !paste | DaveKong | 01:23 |
| ubottu | DaveKong: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 01:23 |
| DaveKong | http://paste.ubuntu.com/16508/ | 01:26 |
| Stroganoff | zsnes -ad sdl | 01:28 |
| DaveKong | Stroganoff: That made the app load and the sound worked | 01:30 |
| DaveKong | although not very good quality | 01:30 |
| Stroganoff | ok in zsnes go to sound options and change the buffer size | 01:31 |
| Stroganoff | and/or lower the khz | 01:31 |
| Stroganoff | you could also try alsa and oss instead of sdl | 01:32 |
| DaveKong | so zsnes -ad oss | 01:33 |
| Stroganoff | yes | 01:34 |
| DaveKong_ | system froze | 01:37 |
| Stroganoff | ok... | 01:38 |
| DaveKong_ | Stroganoff: no idea why it did that but I rebooted loaded oss and the sound is great now. Many thanks! | 01:39 |
| Stroganoff | hehe | 01:40 |
| eater9 | when I launch Pine from a panel launcher, it prompts for my password and then tells me "Trouble reaching remote configuration" | 03:32 |
| eater9 | 9I think it must be a problem with the "Run in terminal" option ... ? | 03:32 |
| zoredache | does it work if you start it in a terminal? | 03:33 |
| eater9 | yes, perfectly | 03:33 |
| zoredache | you could build a launcher that does something like - xfce4-terminal -x sh -c 'pine' | 03:35 |
| eater9 | oh, wait, just enclosing the pine command string in single quotes makes it work | 03:36 |
| eater9 | i guess space characters break it | 03:36 |
| eater9 | now I know! | 03:36 |
| zoredache | ok. | 03:37 |

| kattman_ | Do I need to do anythin first to the cd ? | 03:55 |
| zoredache | you should check the md5/sha some of the .iso But aside from that you shouldn't have to do anything special | 03:56 |

| NullNam1 | HELP! I needed to reinstall SAMBA on ubuntu 8.04, so I deslected SAMBA from "marked packages" in synaptic( the dozen or so services that are easily installed by checking and clicking apply) I then noticed that /etc/samba still existed, so I removed the directory and all sub directories with "rm -r' Now when I try to reinstall SAMBA, I get an error that states it can't find the samba config file. THANks! | 16:43 |
| zoredache | NullNam1: why do you need to reinstall? | 16:59 |
| zoredache | anyway, the /etc/samba directory is part of the the package (samba-common) not samba. You probably need to delete that as well | 17:01 |
| lc2 | HAY GUISE | 17:06 |
| Stroganoff | NullNam1, try dpkg --force-confnew samba-common | 17:09 |
| Stroganoff | dpkg --reinstall --force-confnew samba-common | 17:09 |
| lc2 | so i have a question | 17:10 |
| lc2 | is there anything like a ~/.xinitrc in xubuntu? (in before "yes, ~/.xinitrc", it doesn't work) | 17:11 |
| Stroganoff | xinitrc works only when using startx | 17:11 |
| lc2 | kay | 17:11 |
| lc2 | the moar you know | 17:12 |
| * lc2 has just moved from freebsd ;( | 17:12 | |
| Stroganoff | try XFCE Applications -> Settings -> Autostarted Applications | 17:12 |
| Stroganoff | some day i'll install xfce to find out where the related config file is located.. | 17:13 |
| lc2 | mm | 17:13 |
| * lc2 just wants to xmodmap his windows key to ctrl ;\ | 17:13 | |
| Stroganoff | hehe | 17:15 |
| * lc2 had to do that once when the ctrl key stopped working, stayed in the habit of using it long after he got a new keyboard | 17:16 | |
| Stroganoff | you can use the windows key in the xfce shortcuts, it's "Super_L" | 17:16 |
| Stroganoff | oh | 17:16 |
| Stroganoff | DISREGARD THAT | 17:16 |
| lc2 | indeed, the problem is every other program expecting ctrl to be ctrl ;\ | 17:17 |
| Stroganoff | ok add the xmodmap command to autostarted applications | 17:17 |
| lc2 | i think i will | 17:18 |
| * lc2 just added his old .xinitrc to the autostarted apps | 17:20 | |
| lc2 | okay, another problem i've had | 17:21 |
| lc2 | xorg doesn't seem to think that my display is capable of running 1280x960, and thinks i can only do 1280x800 at like 53hz | 17:22 |
| lc2 | when i used to do that at like, 70 | 17:22 |
| lc2 | my xorg.conf explicitly specifies what resolutions my display is capable of, but it doesn't seem to work | 17:23 |
| lc2 | (i.e. when i try to change my resolution from the settings manager, it only shows some really puny resolutions, as above) | 17:24 |
| lc2 | oh, UseEDID | 17:29 |
| lc2 | lemme try | 17:30 |
| lc2 | sweet. | 17:33 |
| lc2 | UseEDID and using "Default" for the resolution brought great justice | 17:33 |
| Stroganoff | alternative would be adding a custom modeline to section "monitor" | 17:38 |
| Stroganoff | http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ | 17:38 |
| Stroganoff | or google modeline generator | 17:38 |
| lc2 | that's sorta what i did | 17:38 |

| thinkmassive | wow compiz-fusion is awesome | 20:52 |
| thinkmassive | I never realized what I was missing | 20:52 |
| Odd-rationale | thinkmassive: you'll gdt tired of it.... ;) | 20:53 |
| thinkmassive | heh yeah, probably when my legs get burnt from the extra heat | 20:53 |
| thinkmassive | it's definitely going on my home media box at home though | 20:54 |
| Odd-rationale | thinkmassive: i only have it to "show off". otherwise, i leav it off... | 20:54 |
| thinkmassive | gotta impress people to the point of saying "man, I need a new operating system that doesn't suck" | 20:54 |
| lc2 | gnahhh | 20:54 |
| lc2 | compiz = hate | 20:54 |
| thinkmassive | ^^ exact words out of my roommate's mouth | 20:54 |
| lc2 | hate hate | 20:54 |
| thinkmassive | and that's without seeing compiz | 20:54 |
| thinkmassive | lc2: why? | 20:54 |
| lc2 | thinkmassive: i'm a speed freak | 20:55 |
| lc2 | thinkmassive: i turned off compositing because it made switching workspaces a fraction of a second slower | 20:55 |
| thinkmassive | I hear ya, I always had that turned off but this just looks way too cool | 20:55 |
| thinkmassive | at least on a media box ;) | 20:56 |
| lc2 | i'd rather give myself a frontal lobotomy with a rusty screwdriver than have bloat, however cool | 20:57 |
| * lc2 notes, that's the point of installing xubuntu | 20:58 | |
| * lc2 notes, his system is now speedy liek speedycat | 20:59 | |
| Odd-rationale | lc2: xubuntu is getting kind of bloated itself... | 20:59 |
| lc2 | Odd-rationale: runs fine here | 20:59 |
| lc2 | 1.4 athlon :D | 20:59 |
| Odd-rationale | lc2: if i want less bloat, i'd go with *box or a tiling wm like awesome | 21:00 |
| Odd-rationale | or lxde! | 21:00 |
| lc2 | eh | 21:01 |
| Odd-rationale | http://lxde.sf.net | 21:01 |
| lc2 | oooh | 21:02 |
| lc2 | it looks kinda nice | 21:02 |
| Odd-rationale | yeah, i know... it IS nice... | 21:02 |
| Odd-rationale | faster than xfce.... | 21:02 |
| Odd-rationale | also uses pcmanfm which is kind of like thunar with tabs... | 21:03 |
| lc2 | neat | 21:03 |
| Odd-rationale | it uses openbox as the wm | 21:04 |
| thinkmassive | I use xubuntu because I don't like gnome or kde | 21:05 |
| thinkmassive | speed is always a concern but rarely an issue | 21:05 |
| Odd-rationale | i was a strong kde follower... | 21:05 |
| thinkmassive | and then.... | 21:05 |
| Odd-rationale | well, right now i'm flirting with gnome... | 21:06 |
| Odd-rationale | i'll probably land back using awesome... | 21:06 |
| thinkmassive | I started with gnome but it's just so big and clumsy | 21:06 |
| thinkmassive | awesome? | 21:06 |
| Odd-rationale | yeah, awesome! | 21:07 |
| Odd-rationale | i don't find gnome much heavier than kde... | 21:07 |
| Odd-rationale | it is hard to create a minimalist system with kde/qt... | 21:08 |
| thinkmassive | I really like the simplicity of xfce over the speed/mass savings, although I guess mass and simplicity are directly related | 21:08 |
| Odd-rationale | kde works best if you go all kde. then it is really8 good! | 21:08 |
| thinkmassive | same with gnome | 21:08 |
| N1ghtCrawler | Hello, I want to decrease the taping sensitivity on my touchpad. I tried the synaptics manual but it's like greek for me. Anyone who can give me som pointers? | 21:09 |
| thinkmassive | but each will always have the best apps for certain tasks | 21:09 |
| Odd-rationale | N1ghtCrawler: there are 2 things you want to configure in your xorg.conf file: MaxTapTime and MaxTapMove | 21:11 |
| Odd-rationale | MaxTapTime is an integer value that defines the maximum time for detecting a tap (in milliseconds) | 21:12 |
| Odd-rationale | MaxTapMove is an integer value which defines the maximum movement of your finger for detecting a tap | 21:12 |
| Odd-rationale | so in your synaptics section of your xorg.conf file try adding these lines | 21:13 |
| Odd-rationale | Option "MaxTapTime" "180" | 21:13 |
| Odd-rationale | Option "MaxTapMove" "110" | 21:13 |
| Odd-rationale | you can experiment iwht the values... | 21:13 |
| N1ghtCrawler | well, since i want tp deecrese the taping sinsitivity setting a lower maxtime would to the reverse? | 21:13 |
| Odd-rationale | N1ghtCrawler: i would think so | 21:14 |
| Odd-rationale | also, you would have to save the file and restart X for the changes to take effect... | 21:14 |
| N1ghtCrawler | Like it's now i can just toutch it lightly whith my finger passing by when I type | 21:15 |
| N1ghtCrawler | Odd-rationale: Setting a higer maxtime doers not affect the minumumtime witch i think is the problem? | 21:15 |
| Odd-rationale | idk about that... | 21:16 |
| N1ghtCrawler | prefferebly i want it to not react on taps unless they ar rather distinct | 21:17 |
| N1ghtCrawler | I tried to apt-get qsynaptics but i get an errormessage that he could not find it | 21:19 |
| Odd-rationale | N1ghtCrawler: there are ways to disalble touchpad when typing. search the forums for that... | 21:19 |
| N1ghtCrawler | yeah, I read something about it. | 21:20 |
| N1ghtCrawler | Googeling a bit i find that some other have the same problem with a silly sensitive touchpad | 21:21 |
| N1ghtCrawler | it's more sensitive tan ny finger, the touchpad feels my finger before i feel the touchpad | 21:22 |
| N1ghtCrawler | well i laborate a bit with the settings you tiped | 21:23 |
| Odd-rationale | any good? | 21:24 |
| N1ghtCrawler | But how do i restart x? ctrl+alt+backspace stops it and I have to reebot the coputer | 21:24 |
| N1ghtCrawler | *computer | 21:24 |
| Odd-rationale | well reboot works as well... :P | 21:24 |
| N1ghtCrawler | yes, but if i dont want to, just restart X wint work. I get a black screen wothout any shell or anything | 21:26 |
| N1ghtCrawler | now ctrl+alt+backspace worked. | 21:27 |
| N1ghtCrawler | Strange. | 21:27 |
| N1ghtCrawler | actually i thing the settings you provided worked out pretty well! Thanks! | 21:30 |

| DaveKong | Are the updates which you get from update manager included in the live install builds? | 21:43 |
| cody-somerville | DaveKong, hmm? | 21:44 |
| DaveKong | i.e. the new kernel builds? | 21:45 |
| DaveKong | I had some problems with hardy on my laptop and there have been some broadcom fixes to the kernel so I am wondering if it will help but not sure if it is part of the live distro or not | 21:46 |
