| alnokta | why when i do sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop it doesn't install xubuntu? it just installs a package called xubuntu-desktop and exits | 01:33 |
|---|---|---|
| alnokta | any idea? | 01:35 |
| Lynet | alnokta: Perhaps you already have all the packages. xubuntu-desktop is an 'empty' package with a list of other packages to install. | 01:36 |

| ub511 | hi, how i can autoligin to the consol at startup ? | 02:03 |
| ub511 | is ~/.bash_profile the same as ~/.bashrc ? | 02:07 |
| lc2 | nope | 02:07 |
| lc2 | .bash_profile is executed when you log in, .bashrc is executed whenever the shell is executed | 02:08 |
| ub511 | lc2 : i need to autologin to a consol at startup i can do this by editing /etc/event.d/tty1 ? | 02:09 |
| lc2 | ub511: i haven't a clue | 02:09 |
| * lc2 has just come from bsd, doesn't really know how linux/ubuntu does that sort of thing | 02:09 | |

| Maxwell6643 | Hello | 03:57 |
| Maxwell6643 | Can anyone help me? I MUST be able to switch between keyboard layouts using a two key command (e.g. alt-shift) for xubuntu to work for me (which I would like to do, as it is awesome. | 03:58 |
| Maxwell6643 | ? | 04:01 |
| lc2 | IDK LOL | 04:01 |
| lc2 | let's see | 04:01 |
| lc2 | http://ubuntu.sabza.org/2006/10/13/xubuntu-easily-switch-keyboard-layout/ | 04:04 |
| lc2 | THAR U GO | 04:04 |
| lc2 | slightly convoluted but whatever | 04:06 |
| lc2 | also i don't see why you need to have a shell script to do that (i.e. /usr/bin/fixkeyboard ) | 04:06 |
| lc2 | what languages do you want to switch between? | 04:07 |
| lc2 | layouts* | 04:07 |
| lc2 | well, shit | 04:12 |
| Maxwell6643 | H€llo | 04:29 |
| Maxwell6643 | Grrr | 04:29 |
| Maxwell6643 | Is anyon€ in h€r€ | 04:29 |
| Maxwell6643 | My k€yboard is fucking up | 04:30 |
| Maxwell6643 | BRB˙ | 04:30 |
| Maxwell6643 | Hello again. | 04:36 |
| lc2 | hia gain! | 04:39 |
| lc2 | hi again! | 04:39 |
| Maxwell6643 | Any id€as | 04:39 |
| lc2 | haha | 04:39 |
| lc2 | how on earth | 04:40 |
| Maxwell6643 | ? | 04:40 |
| Maxwell6643 | ?? | 04:40 |
| lc2 | Maxwell6643: whatever you did to make it do that? stop doing that | 04:40 |
| lc2 | anyway, you had a question earlier, you did get an answer but you got disconnected | 04:41 |
| Maxwell6643 | I didn't do anything. | 04:41 |
| Maxwell6643 | Oh. | 04:41 |
| Maxwell6643 | Well what was the answer? | 04:41 |
| Maxwell6643 | Could someone please paste it in here for me? | 04:41 |
| lc2 | i had a counter-question, which layouts do you want to switch between? | 04:41 |
| Maxwell6643 | Russian Winkeys and USA (former USA Intl') | 04:42 |
| lc2 | okay hold on | 04:42 |
| Maxwell6643 | And I do not consider counter questions to be answers ;) | 04:42 |
| lc2 | Maxwell6643: you did get an answer as well, but the counter-question would have made it even better | 04:42 |
| lc2 | which two keys do you want to use to switch? | 04:42 |
| Maxwell6643 | I want to be able to hit alt-shift and thus switch between the two layouts. | 04:43 |
| Maxwell6643 | Those are the only two I want to use. | 04:43 |
| lc2 | okay | 04:43 |
| lc2 | go to your settings manager, autostarted apps | 04:43 |
| lc2 | and put something like | 04:43 |
| lc2 | (click "add", obviously) | 04:44 |
| Maxwell6643 | How do I get to my settings manager? | 04:44 |
| Maxwell6643 | I just switched to Xubuntu today from Ubuntu. | 04:44 |
| lc2 | applications -> settings -> settings manager | 04:44 |
| lc2 | (that's okay, i don't find this too easy, i just came from freebsd) | 04:44 |
| lc2 | anyway, go to the autostarted apps therein, click "add" | 04:45 |
| lc2 | setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle us,ru | 04:45 |
| Maxwell6643 | What do I put as the name and description? | 04:46 |
| lc2 | enter that into a terminal first to make sure it works, because i really have nfi if it will | 04:46 |
| lc2 | put whatever you like | 04:46 |
| lc2 | string of profanities if you so choose | 04:46 |
| lc2 | oh and | 04:46 |
| Maxwell6643 | I don't think it did anything. | 04:47 |
| Maxwell6643 | asdlfkd | 04:47 |
| Maxwell6643 | дофыва | 04:47 |
| lc2 | . | 04:47 |
| Maxwell6643 | Oh, shit. | 04:47 |
| Maxwell6643 | I LOVE YOU! | 04:47 |
| Maxwell6643 | *HUGZ* | 04:47 |
| lc2 | i love me too | 04:47 |
| lc2 | Maxwell6643: one more thing. | 04:47 |
| Maxwell6643 | lol, yes? | 04:47 |
| Maxwell6643 | Haha, I always reply that. | 04:47 |
| lc2 | in the settings manager, keyboard, layouts tab | 04:47 |
| Maxwell6643 | Yes? | 04:47 |
| lc2 | you must check "use X configuration" | 04:47 |
| Maxwell6643 | Why? | 04:48 |
| lc2 | because otherwise you trigger "send email to the linux kernel mailing list telling them you're planning to fork the kernel" mode | 04:48 |
| lc2 | that, or switching might not work | 04:48 |
| Maxwell6643 | Ohhhh. | 04:49 |
| Maxwell6643 | Mmmmmk. | 04:49 |
| Maxwell6643 | Thank you ^-^ | 04:49 |
| lc2 | most welcome | 04:49 |
| Maxwell6643 | I shall now restart and try this out. | 04:49 |
| lc2 | go for it | 04:49 |
| lc2 | let us know how it went | 04:49 |
| Maxwell6643 | If I am back in five minutes, it didn't work ^-^. | 04:49 |
| Maxwell6643 | Okay, I guess I shall come back one and tell you how it went. | 04:50 |
| Maxwell6643 | BRB! | 04:50 |
| lc2 | hb! | 04:50 |
| lc2 | wb | 04:51 |
| Maxwell6644 | Thank you! | 04:53 |
| Maxwell6644 | Спасибо большое! | 04:53 |
| lc2 | haha, awesome | 04:53 |
| lc2 | you're welcome | 04:53 |
| Maxwell6644 | I shall now go study the most lovely language in the world ^-^ (except maybe Latin? But Russian girls>Roman ones) | 04:54 |
| Maxwell6644 | Ciao! | 04:54 |
| ath_gr | i have already installed xubuntu 6.06 in an older notebook celeron@600+64mb ram. the system is going well, but as i want my little son to play with it i need some games on it. unfortunately 6.06 has no games by default. any idea or hepl hou can i install the games i saw in newer versions? | 10:17 |
| ablomen | ath_gr, fire up synaptic and select the games and amusement catagory | 10:21 |
| ablomen | 100s of games in there | 10:22 |
| TheSheep | ath_gr: you can also check the getdeb.net for more games | 10:22 |
| TheSheep | the quality varies greatly though | 10:23 |
| ath_gr | i searched already in that catalogue and i just found a package needed for gnome games. actually i n this category there only 3 packages and the 2 of them they 're already installed | 10:23 |
| TheSheep | !repositories | 10:25 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 10:25 |
| TheSheep | ath_gr: enable additional repositories | 10:26 |
| ath_gr | where can i enable that? the pc is not connected to the net. where from can i downloaded additional repositories? | 10:31 |
| TheSheep | ath_gr: all packages form ubuntu repositories are available at http://packages.ubuntu.com | 10:36 |
| ath_gr | thanks. in that link : http://www.getdeb.net/category.php?id=3 i found many games. can i run them under xfce? | 10:39 |
| mnemoc | hi, i | 10:57 |
| mnemoc | err | 10:57 |
| mnemoc | hi, i'm running 8.04 quite happily but today suddenly the "places" menu diapeared, and also the icons at the desktop (at the same time) ... I revered the icons by alt-f2 -> xfdesktop.... but how can i get the "Places" menu back? | 10:58 |
| TheSheep | alt+f2 and then 'xfce4-panel' | 10:59 |
| mnemoc | thanks :) | 11:02 |

| Ben_Cs | hello | 13:40 |
| skream | my install keeps freezing after i click 'yes' to partition the drives | 14:04 |
| Stroganoff | !alternate | skream | 14:05 |
| ubottu | skream: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 14:05 |
| skream | Stroganoff: thatts he version im trying to install | 14:06 |
| Stroganoff | oh | 14:07 |
| Stroganoff | are you able to switch to ctrl+alt+f2? | 14:07 |
| skream | what does that do? | 14:07 |
| Stroganoff | switches to tty2, containing verbose output | 14:08 |
| skream | i'll try ttha | 14:08 |
| skream | if i hit ctrl+c it closes whatever is running i guess and goes t the nexxt screen | 14:08 |
| Stroganoff | or is it completely frozen.. i.e. numlock doesnt respond | 14:08 |
| Stroganoff | ok | 14:08 |
| skream | says "prepring partitioner..." | 14:08 |
| skream | and gets to 47% and stops everytime | 14:09 |
| Stroganoff | have a look at /var/log/partman | 14:09 |
| skream | how do i go bout doing that? | 14:10 |
| Stroganoff | go to ctrl+alt+f3 | 14:10 |
| skream | particularly in the middle of the installation | 14:10 |
| Stroganoff | run this: | 14:10 |
| Stroganoff | less /var/log/partman | 14:10 |
| skream | ok, sec | 14:10 |
| skream | ctrl+alt+f3 just goes to a shell i guess? | 14:11 |
| Stroganoff | yep | 14:11 |
| skream | cool, did notknow that | 14:11 |
| skream | less not found | 14:13 |
| skream | vi not found | 14:13 |
| Stroganoff | cat | 14:13 |
| Stroganoff | or nano | 14:13 |
| skream | cat spit out lot of stuff | 14:14 |
| Stroganoff | anything suspicious at the bottom? | 14:14 |
| skream | error handler: exception with type | 14:15 |
| skream | error handler: reading message | 14:15 |
| skream | error handler: reading options | 14:15 |
| skream | and then it goes on to some other stuff... | 14:15 |

| skream | lib/partman/automatically_partition/50biggest_free/choices:******************************** | 14:16 |
| skream | thats it | 14:17 |
| skream | nothing eh | 14:23 |
| skream | by the way | 14:25 |
| skream | dunno if this is hepful but my cd drive wont open when i get to this point | 14:26 |
| Stroganoff | i think that is normal | 14:35 |
| Stroganoff | anyway you should manage to upload your partman log to pastebin and present it to the guys in #ubuntu | 14:36 |
| Stroganoff | either use ftp to upload it or manually mount a usb stick and copy it | 14:37 |
| Stroganoff | or completely different approach: low level format your hard disk with vendor tools and try again :D | 14:38 |
| skream | wow tths pretty involved | 14:40 |

| deniz_ogut | Hello. Xubuntu 8.04 here. I experience that ubuntuforums.org takes about lets say 10 minutes to load with Firefox3.0b5. Ok, Firefoxis a litle bit slowon my machine but not that much for sure. Do you have any idea if its something related with some settings or not? | 19:19 |
| lc2 | loads almost instantly here | 19:20 |
| lc2 | three questions: 1) have you changed anything? 2) is anything else slow? 3) how fast is your machine? | 19:21 |
| deniz_ogut | I didn't intendly change anything.I mean: I have installed Fluxbox lately. Nothing else is slow. 256 RAM. | 19:22 |
| deniz_ogut | Firefox operates slowon my machine but not that much. This is something else. | 19:22 |
| lc2 | so no other sites load slow like that? | 19:23 |
| deniz_ogut | 10 minutes I say,maybe more. Other pages load in some seconds. | 19:23 |
| deniz_ogut | no , not that slow. | 19:23 |
| lc2 | okay | 19:23 |
| lc2 | have you tried doing it like, right now? | 19:23 |
| deniz_ogut | yes,it is loaded now. but if I attempt to reload it,i am sure... | 19:24 |
| deniz_ogut | i will give a tryif you like. | 19:24 |
| lc2 | give it a shot, make sure it wasn't a temporary problem | 19:24 |
| deniz_ogut | no its the same. I click an internal link from the main page and it began to "try" again. | 19:25 |
| lc2 | okay, what does it say in the status bar while it's loading? | 19:25 |
| lc2 | "Looking up.." or "Connecting to.."? | 19:25 |
| deniz_ogut | transferinng data from ubuntuforums.org | 19:25 |
| lc2 | okay, i have no idea what that could be, other than either something wrong in their site or some routing issues with your ISP | 19:26 |
| deniz_ogut | I can connenct with Dillo uin seconds. | 19:26 |
| lc2 | you might want to try another browser, just to be certain | 19:26 |
| lc2 | try epiphany | 19:27 |
| deniz_ogut | can it be something remlated with some kind of flash thing? | 19:27 |
| deniz_ogut | epiphany is similar to firefox. | 19:27 |
| lc2 | it is, that's why i suggested trying it | 19:27 |
| deniz_ogut | it is... in which way? | 19:27 |
| lc2 | it uses the same rendering engine, the reason you should try using it is because then you can see if it's an issue with some firefox setting or other | 19:28 |
| deniz_ogut | but not such a problem for other flash sites. | 19:28 |
| deniz_ogut | epiphany is the same. | 19:28 |
| deniz_ogut | their site should be OK because you can connect easily. | 19:29 |
| lc2 | except if you use epiphany, you can find out if it's a bug with a plugin/extension/setting/whatever | 19:29 |
| lc2 | just do it, plox | 19:29 |
| deniz_ogut | anyway. thanks a lot. I took your time. | 19:29 |

| spasticteapot | Any Xubuntu devs here? | 20:18 |
| spasticteapot | I just tried Xubuntu 8.04 - it looks terrific! | 20:19 |
| lc2 | it is awesome. | 20:19 |
| spasticteapot | I am having a few hiccups, though. | 20:19 |
| * lc2 isn't a dev. | 20:19 | |
| lc2 | but i might be able to help | 20:19 |
| spasticteapot | I just wanted to let the devs know they did a good job. | 20:20 |
| spasticteapot | lc2: I'm connnected to a wifi network with decent signal strength, but the speed is astronomically slow. | 20:20 |
| lc2 | ohnoes. | 20:20 |
| spasticteapot | ...and now it works. | 20:21 |
| lc2 | define "astronomically slow | 20:21 |
| lc2 | +" | 20:21 |
| spasticteapot | That's odd. | 20:21 |
| lc2 | wait what | 20:21 |
| spasticteapot | lc2: Google took nearly a minute to load. | 20:21 |
| spasticteapot | Google! | 20:21 |
| lc2 | well, wtf | 20:21 |
| spasticteapot | Huh. | 20:21 |
| spasticteapot | That said, the system instantly recognized TWO wifi cards the old one would not - and they required no configuration. | 20:21 |
| spasticteapot | Just plug & play! | 20:21 |
| spasticteapot | And the wifi manager actually works. | 20:21 |
| lc2 | ! | 20:22 |
| lc2 | ftw | 20:22 |
| spasticteapot | And it seems to be faster than the old version - it's quite usable on a P3-550. | 20:22 |
| lc2 | except firefox ;( | 20:22 |
| lc2 | but even firefox is faster | 20:22 |
| spasticteapot | IMO, Xubuntu has always been a bit rough around the edges...until now. | 20:22 |
| spasticteapot | lc2: Firefox runs A-OK. | 20:22 |
| spasticteapot | ...of course, I'm only using one tab. | 20:22 |
| spasticteapot | Any recommendations on a replacement driver? | 20:22 |
| lc2 | i haven't a clue | 20:23 |
| spasticteapot | I'm also going to try the miscellaneous speed tweaks - most of which, IIRC, involve disabling GNOME bits that run in the background. | 20:23 |
| spasticteapot | Ack...brain fart. | 20:23 |
| * lc2 knows nothing about wireless, and has just come from freebsd so knows only marginally more than nothing about the linux kernel | 20:23 | |
| spasticteapot | Replacement browser. | 20:23 |
| lc2 | oh! | 20:23 |
| lc2 | sorry | 20:23 |
| lc2 | umm, try epiphany | 20:23 |
| zoredache | you might also look at midori. it is a webkit based browser | 20:24 |
| spasticteapot | Ah..wait. | 20:24 |
| spasticteapot | Kahehakaze. | 20:24 |
| spasticteapot | I like that one. | 20:24 |
| spasticteapot | The spelling...not so much. | 20:24 |
| lc2 | kazahekase? | 20:25 |
| spasticteapot | Kazehakase? | 20:25 |
| lc2 | some shit like that | 20:25 |
| spasticteapot | Yah. | 20:25 |
| spasticteapot | Japanese names are not so easy to spell without the kanji. | 20:25 |
| spasticteapot | That said, I'm astounded that there aren't any Japanese-specific linux distros. | 20:25 |
| lc2 | there may well be | 20:26 |
| spasticteapot | Japan has 1/2 the population of the U.S...and a far larger number of technophiles. | 20:26 |
| spasticteapot | lc2: I'm a linux n00b, but I did not see any on Distrowatch. | 20:26 |
| lc2 | spasticteapot: i can't imagine that there is not one | 20:27 |
| spasticteapot | lc2: I'm guessing that the japanese translation of Ubuntu is spot-on. | 20:27 |
| lc2 | quite possibly | 20:28 |
| spasticteapot | Wow...9 kB/second. | 20:28 |
| lc2 | ! | 20:28 |
| spasticteapot | Somethings fishy with my wifi connection | 20:28 |
| lc2 | haha | 20:28 |
| lc2 | yeah there is | 20:28 |
| spasticteapot | 964 bytes/second. | 20:29 |
| spasticteapot | WTF? | 20:29 |
| spasticteapot | At least now it's back up to 25 kilobytes/second. | 20:29 |
| spasticteapot | I never thought I'd be happy about that. | 20:29 |
| spasticteapot | ...aaand it stopped. | 20:30 |
| lc2 | spasticteapot: ! :\ | 20:30 |
| spasticteapot | Hmm. | 20:31 |
| spasticteapot | Gimme a sec...need to go fiddle with something. | 20:31 |
| lc2 | hokay | 20:32 |
| lc2 | hb | 20:32 |
| spastic_teapot | lc2: Hola! | 20:39 |
| spastic_teapot | Well, the good news is that I no longer have a problem with connection speed. | 20:40 |
| lc2 | spastic_teapot: ahoy | 20:40 |
| lc2 | spastic_teapot: good! | 20:40 |
| lc2 | what did you do? | 20:40 |
| spastic_teapot | The bad news is that this is because I no longer have a @#$@#$ connection. | 20:40 |
| spastic_teapot | :P | 20:40 |
| lc2 | oh shi- | 20:40 |
| spastic_teapot | Ha. Ha. | 20:40 |
| spastic_teapot | It's just the Xubuntu box. | 20:41 |
| lc2 | what did you do to break it? | 20:41 |
| spastic_teapot | Tried to connect to a different wifi network. | 20:41 |
| lc2 | oh. | 20:41 |
| spastic_teapot | I managed to download half of package lists....and now it's stopped again. | 20:41 |
| lc2 | .. :( | 20:42 |
| spastic_teapot | That's odd..... | 20:42 |
| spastic_teapot | Firefox still works. | 20:42 |
| zoredache | are you sure it isn't being slow on the server-side? | 20:43 |
| spastic_teapot | Nope. | 20:43 |
| spastic_teapot | Every time I try to download, the internet craps out. | 20:43 |
| spastic_teapot | @#$@$##@$! | 20:43 |
| lc2 | :( | 20:43 |
| spastic_teapot | It's like demonic clockwork. | 20:44 |
| spastic_teapot | Or, for BSD, daemonic clockwork. | 20:44 |
| spastic_teapot | :P | 20:44 |
| lc2 | don't mention that name in my presence again | 20:44 |
| spastic_teapot | ?? | 20:44 |
| * lc2 seriously hates BSD, and the horse it rode in on. | 20:44 | |
| spastic_teapot | Really? | 20:45 |
| spastic_teapot | Explain. | 20:45 |
| lc2 | i got tired of how horribly buggy it was | 20:46 |
| * lc2 was using freebsd before xubuntu | 20:46 | |
| spastic_teapot | That's why I asked. | 20:46 |
| spastic_teapot | I do note that Linux has greater compatibility, and many more versions. | 20:46 |
| lc2 | my favourite bug: try to unmount a USB mass storage device in freebsd after you have unplugged it | 20:47 |
| spastic_teapot | There's Linux for cheap old rubbish PCs, Linux for multichannel audio recording, Linux for firewalls, Linux for christian fundies.... | 20:47 |
| spastic_teapot | lc2: Oh dear. | 20:47 |
| lc2 | spastic_teapot: sometimes it refused to, sometimes it meant instant death and a kernel panic | 20:47 |
| spastic_teapot | Of course, any PROFICIENT BSD user would have his own shell script to do that. For each of his flash drives. | 20:47 |
| spastic_teapot | Oh my. | 20:47 |
| zoredache | lc2: just don't disconnect drives before they are unmounted... | 20:48 |
| lc2 | zoredache: that means that there is *no way* to make things "just work" when you plug/unplug them | 20:48 |
| lc2 | you have to manually unmount drives | 20:48 |
| lc2 | hello, welcome to the late 20th century, we have this cool thing called "USB" | 20:48 |
| zoredache | lc2: that isn't true... you can setup autofs to automatically mount your usb devices and unmount after a few minutes | 20:49 |
| lc2 | zoredache: what if you plugged it in for a few minutes then unplugged it before autofs unmounted it? | 20:49 |
| lc2 | the point is you shouldn't have to do shit like that | 20:49 |
| spastic_teapot | lc2: Can't you do all that USB nonsense with some serial ports and a hot-swap SCSI setup? | 20:50 |
| spastic_teapot | :P | 20:50 |
| zoredache | how can you be sure the filesystem is in a clean state? | 20:50 |
| lc2 | zoredache: somehow, microsoft have managed to do it | 20:50 |
| lc2 | correction, microsoft managed to do it ten years ago* | 20:50 |
| zoredache | on microsoft you need to click the 'safely remove hardware' icon | 20:51 |
| spastic_teapot | lc2: He's right. | 20:51 |
| spastic_teapot | It's more or less the same on both. | 20:51 |
| zoredache | or else you can trash your filesystem | 20:51 |
| lc2 | zoredache: the point is, it doesn't crash the operating system | 20:52 |
| === |hfsdo| is now known as hfsdo | ||
| lc2 | "you shouldn't do that" is not the same thing as "you deserve to have your operating system crash on you" | 20:52 |
| zoredache | yeah, I will agree a kernel crash on a missing device is bad thing | 20:52 |
| zoredache | but you can get the same behavior on Linuux with mounted samba share and pulling the network cable in some conditions | 20:53 |
| lc2 | mkay | 20:53 |
| zoredache | anywho... | 20:54 |
| spastic_teapot | Xubuntu - it is made of WIN! | 20:55 |
| lc2 | it is. | 20:55 |
| Qkall | hi i thought i fixed this problem yesterday... however i didn't | 21:01 |
| Qkall | Odd-rationale: helped me, alas same problem | 21:01 |
| Qkall | xfce4-session isn't starting by default... | 21:01 |
| floating | is it possible to autologin to xubuntu without inserting name/pass | 22:28 |
| TheSheep | floating: yes, set it in settings->login window | 22:29 |
| greg_ | where is rest of xorg.conf? | 22:38 |
| TheSheep | greg_: falls back to defaults | 22:38 |
| TheSheep | greg_: use 'sudo displayconfig-gtk' to edit it | 22:39 |
| greg_ | so i gotta manually add modules section? | 22:39 |
| TheSheep | if you need any non-standard modules, yes | 22:39 |
| floating | thxhx | 22:40 |
| greg_ | wat driver can i use for 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) ? | 22:41 |
| TheSheep | greg_: Intel | 22:42 |
| greg_ | there are couple intel | 22:42 |
| TheSheep | no, there are i810, i-something else, etc., but there is only one 'intel' | 22:42 |
| greg_ | intel expiramental? | 22:43 |
| TheSheep | greg_: yup | 22:44 |
| greg_ | TheSheep, nows theres lines on screen | 22:47 |
| TheSheep | :( | 22:48 |
| greg_ | any other drivers i can try? | 22:49 |
| TheSheep | greg_: I have a similar card and it works for me | 22:49 |
| TheSheep | greg_: I never tried any others | 22:49 |
| greg_ | want screen shot? | 22:49 |
| TheSheep | greg_: but I guess it won't hurt? | 22:49 |
| greg_ | TheSheep, they all fail | 23:00 |
| lc2 | does anyone use rhythmbox here? | 23:09 |
| Odd-rationale | lc2: i do sort of... | 23:09 |
| lc2 | Odd-rationale: where the hell is the stop button? :\ | 23:10 |
| Odd-rationale | lc2: the same as play... | 23:10 |
| lc2 | Odd-rationale: stop = pause? | 23:10 |
| lc2 | :\ | 23:10 |
| Odd-rationale | yeah, pretty much... | 23:10 |
| lc2 | okay, that fails | 23:10 |
| greg_ | TheSheep, its all messed up now | 23:11 |
| Odd-rationale | i find it is ok... | 23:11 |
| greg_ | how do i fix? | 23:11 |
| Odd-rationale | to play or not to play. simple as that... ;) | 23:11 |
| lc2 | rhythmbox officiall fails | 23:36 |
| lc2 | and now i'm going! | 23:36 |
| lc2 | :D | 23:36 |
| WaxyFresh | Hi how do i search for things in xubuntu | 23:46 |
| zoredache | what type of things? | 23:46 |
| WaxyFresh | a single file | 23:46 |
| TheSheep | you click on the loup icon next to the clock | 23:47 |
| zoredache | I use the 'locate' command in a terminal... | 23:47 |
| WaxyFresh | whats it called ill have to add it back i think i removed it | 23:47 |
| TheSheep | tracker | 23:47 |
| WaxyFresh | locate filename? | 23:47 |
| TheSheep | it's in autostarted applications | 23:48 |
| TheSheep | ah, you can also use locate or find from the command line | 23:48 |
| TheSheep | see 'man locate' and 'man find' for details | 23:48 |
| zoredache | TheSheep: is tracker something you installed? I am not seeing anything by that name on my system and I have a fairly clean install | 23:50 |
| TheSheep | I'm not sure, I know it was installed by default at some stage, but it might have been alpha or beta version then | 23:51 |
| TheSheep | it's installed by default in ubuntu | 23:51 |
| WaxyFresh | i think i disabled it on mine. | 23:53 |
| WaxyFresh | im not finding it,and teh man pages boggle my mind. how do i use locate/find to search entire path and all its subdirectoys? | 23:54 |
| zoredache | WaxyFresh: it has to build the index first... (run sudo updatedb) | 23:55 |
| zoredache | another slow way to find things would be to use the find command e.g find / -type f -name '*.mp3' | 23:56 |
| WaxyFresh | zoredache: thanks the file in my case is asms so i would type find / -type f -asma ? | 23:57 |
| zoredache | asms? is that the exact filename? if yes then find / -type f -name 'asms'. if you are looking for files with the .asm extention it would be find / -type f -name '*.asm' | 23:59 |
