[00:24] cody-somerville: that wad the point when i click add it doesnt work [00:45] Anyone know how to get sound working in zsnes? [00:57] DaveKong try to install the package alsa-oss [00:58] Stroganoff: ok [01:00] Stroganoff: not working... there anything else I need to do? [01:02] try this: libsdl1.2debian-alsa [01:06] nope [01:09] 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." [01:10] the sdl switch might work [01:13] NR1224? [01:13] I got a list of drivers [01:13] it is set to auto detect at the moment [01:13] i pasted this from a ubuntuforums, NR1224 is a user [01:13] oh [01:14] try to use the sdl switch instead of autodetect [01:17] how do I use the switch? [01:18] the --help info tells you how to use it [01:19] you may upload the output for me to read. use bash redirecting to write it to a file like this: [01:19] zsnes --help > zsnes-help.txt [01:22] ok I put on in a file [01:22] how do I upload?

[01:39] Stroganoff: no idea why it did that but I rebooted loaded oss and the sound is great now. Many thanks! [01:40] hehe [03:32] when I launch Pine from a panel launcher, it prompts for my password and then tells me "Trouble reaching remote configuration" [03:32] 9 I think it must be a problem with the "Run in terminal" option ... ? [03:33] does it work if you start it in a terminal? [03:33] yes, perfectly [03:35] you could build a launcher that does something like - xfce4-terminal -x sh -c 'pine' [03:36] oh, wait, just enclosing the pine command string in single quotes makes it work [03:36] i guess space characters break it [03:36] now I know! [03:37] ok. [03:53] Making a Install cd help [03:53] and what are you having difficulty with? [03:54] I trying to make a cd of x ubuntu from ubuntu bet it keeps crashing [03:54] it a rw cd [03:55] Do I need to do anythin first to the cd ? [03:56] you should check the md5/sha some of the .iso But aside from that you shouldn't have to do anything special [03:57] What program are you trying to use to make the cd?

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! [16:59] NullNam1: why do you need to reinstall? [17:01] anyway, the /etc/samba directory is part of the the package (samba-common) not samba. You probably need to delete that as well [17:06] HAY GUISE [17:09] NullNam1, try dpkg --force-confnew samba-common [17:09] dpkg --reinstall --force-confnew samba-common [17:10] so i have a question [17:11] is there anything like a ~/.xinitrc in xubuntu? (in before "yes, ~/.xinitrc", it doesn't work) [17:11] xinitrc works only when using startx [17:11] kay [17:12] the moar you know [17:12] * lc2 has just moved from freebsd ;( [17:12] try XFCE Applications -> Settings -> Autostarted Applications [17:13] some day i'll install xfce to find out where the related config file is located.. [17:13] mm [17:13] * lc2 just wants to xmodmap his windows key to ctrl ;\ [17:15] hehe [17:16] * 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] you can use the windows key in the xfce shortcuts, it's "Super_L" [17:16] oh [17:16] DISREGARD THAT [17:17] indeed, the problem is every other program expecting ctrl to be ctrl ;\ [17:17] ok add the xmodmap command to autostarted applications [17:18] i think i will [17:20] * lc2 just added his old .xinitrc to the autostarted apps [17:21] okay, another problem i've had [17:22] 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] when i used to do that at like, 70 [17:23] my xorg.conf explicitly specifies what resolutions my display is capable of, but it doesn't seem to work [17:24] (i.e. when i try to change my resolution from the settings manager, it only shows some really puny resolutions, as above) [17:29] oh, UseEDID [17:30] lemme try [17:33] sweet. [17:33] UseEDID and using "Default" for the resolution brought great justice [17:38] alternative would be adding a custom modeline to section "monitor" [17:38] http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ [17:38] or google modeline generator [17:38] that's sorta what i did === s|k_ is now known as btipling_ === michaelramm is now known as michaelramm_lunc === michaelramm_lunc is now known as michael_at_lunch === |hfsdo| is now known as hfsdo === michael_at_lunch is now known as michaelramm === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak === |hfsdo| is now known as hfsdo [20:52] wow compiz-fusion is awesome [20:52] I never realized what I was missing [20:53] thinkmassive: you'll gdt tired of it.... ;) [20:53] heh yeah, probably when my legs get burnt from the extra heat [20:54] it's definitely going on my home media box at home though [20:54] thinkmassive: i only have it to "show off". otherwise, i leav it off... [20:54] gotta impress people to the point of saying "man, I need a new operating system that doesn't suck" [20:54] gnahhh [20:54] compiz = hate [20:54] ^^ exact words out of my roommate's mouth [20:54] hate hate [20:54] and that's without seeing compiz [20:54] lc2: why? [20:55] thinkmassive: i'm a speed freak [20:55] thinkmassive: i turned off compositing because it made switching workspaces a fraction of a second slower [20:55] I hear ya, I always had that turned off but this just looks way too cool [20:56] at least on a media box ;) [20:57] i'd rather give myself a frontal lobotomy with a rusty screwdriver than have bloat, however cool [20:58] * lc2 notes, that's the point of installing xubuntu [20:59] * lc2 notes, his system is now speedy liek speedycat [20:59] lc2: xubuntu is getting kind of bloated itself... [20:59] Odd-rationale: runs fine here [20:59] 1.4 athlon :D [21:00] lc2: if i want less bloat, i'd go with *box or a tiling wm like awesome [21:00] or lxde! [21:01] eh [21:01] http://lxde.sf.net [21:02] oooh [21:02] it looks kinda nice [21:02] yeah, i know... it IS nice... [21:02] faster than xfce.... [21:03] also uses pcmanfm which is kind of like thunar with tabs... [21:03] neat [21:04] it uses openbox as the wm [21:05] I use xubuntu because I don't like gnome or kde [21:05] speed is always a concern but rarely an issue [21:05] i was a strong kde follower... [21:05] and then.... [21:06] well, right now i'm flirting with gnome... [21:06] i'll probably land back using awesome... [21:06] I started with gnome but it's just so big and clumsy [21:06] awesome? [21:07] yeah, awesome! [21:07] i don't find gnome much heavier than kde... [21:08] it is hard to create a minimalist system with kde/qt... [21:08] I really like the simplicity of xfce over the speed/mass savings, although I guess mass and simplicity are directly related [21:08] kde works best if you go all kde. then it is really8 good! [21:08] same with gnome [21:09] 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] but each will always have the best apps for certain tasks [21:11] N1ghtCrawler: there are 2 things you want to configure in your xorg.conf file: MaxTapTime and MaxTapMove [21:12] MaxTapTime is an integer value that defines the maximum time for detecting a tap (in milliseconds) [21:12] MaxTapMove is an integer value which defines the maximum movement of your finger for detecting a tap [21:13] so in your synaptics section of your xorg.conf file try adding these lines [21:13] Option "MaxTapTime" "180" [21:13] Option "MaxTapMove" "110" [21:13] you can experiment iwht the values... [21:13] well, since i want tp deecrese the taping sinsitivity setting a lower maxtime would to the reverse? [21:14] N1ghtCrawler: i would think so [21:14] also, you would have to save the file and restart X for the changes to take effect... [21:15] Like it's now i can just toutch it lightly whith my finger passing by when I type [21:15] Odd-rationale: Setting a higer maxtime doers not affect the minumumtime witch i think is the problem? [21:16] idk about that... [21:17] prefferebly i want it to not react on taps unless they ar rather distinct [21:19] I tried to apt-get qsynaptics but i get an errormessage that he could not find it [21:19] N1ghtCrawler: there are ways to disalble touchpad when typing. search the forums for that... [21:20] yeah, I read something about it. [21:21] Googeling a bit i find that some other have the same problem with a silly sensitive touchpad [21:22] it's more sensitive tan ny finger, the touchpad feels my finger before i feel the touchpad [21:23] well i laborate a bit with the settings you tiped [21:24] any good? [21:24] But how do i restart x? ctrl+alt+backspace stops it and I have to reebot the coputer [21:24] *computer [21:24] well reboot works as well... :P [21:26] yes, but if i dont want to, just restart X wint work. I get a black screen wothout any shell or anything [21:27] now ctrl+alt+backspace worked. [21:27] Strange. [21:30] actually i thing the settings you provided worked out pretty well! Thanks! === ubuntu-l1ptop is now known as ubuntu-laptop === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [21:43] Are the updates which you get from update manager included in the live install builds? [21:44] DaveKong, hmm? [21:45] i.e. the new kernel builds? [21:46] 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 [21:47] so you are asking if the livecd has been updated since it was release? [21:47] yea [21:47] I don't think so... But the file dates on the download page should tell you [21:48] DaveKong, no [21:48] DaveKong, But 8.04.1 will be released soon [21:48] ok thanks cody-somerville and zoredache === ubuntu-laptop is now known as gnomefreak [22:18] cody-somerville: 8.04.1 ?
