[01:07] .. to python. What is the right path? [01:08] usually /usr/bin/python [01:08] also, /usr/env/python is incorrect, that should be /usr/bin/env python [01:11] thanks :) [01:26] hi [01:27] i just install xubuntu on my laptop but my wireless is not working [01:27] imagine that [01:27] i have atheros wireless card [01:28] can any one help me [01:28] thanks [01:28] vrkhans: you need madwifi drivers maybe? [01:28] vrkhans: try the restricted drivers manager? [01:29] what is restricted drivers manager? [01:49] i have had some trouble with ntfs-3g somehow the computer? switched names for my 2 drives and has denied me permission on one of them can anybody give me an idea where i might begin to solve this problem? [01:49] i have had some trouble with ntfs-3g somehow the computer? switched names for my 2 drives and has denied me permission on one of them can anybody give me an idea where i might begin to solve this problem? [02:16] * cody-somerville wonders how one configures a tablet PC. [02:17] Do you good applications or methods to use for testing one's computer speed? [02:18] I am trying to tweak my computer some but need reliable ways to know the effect of my changes. [02:25] schweet :] [02:25] I got my tablet pc working in Xubuntu [02:27] :) [03:20] cody-somerville: i have a nice script i wrote that helps with rotation. would you like to take a look? [03:23] Odd-rationale, sure :] [03:23] cody-somerville: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tablet_PC#Script_for_Screen_Rotation [03:24] It should work on any tablet with wacom installed [03:24] everytime it runs, the display rotates 90 degrees clockwise [03:25] So i have a button or keyboard shorcut linked to the script. [03:25] * cody-somerville nods. [03:27] cody-somerville: i;m kind of new to bash scripting, so if you see any to improve, let me know. [03:28] cody-somerville: also, do you use cellwriter? [03:29] cellwriter? [03:29] cody-somerville: http://risujin.org/cellwriter/ [03:31] i *think* it is in the repos. otherwise, i remember there was a .deb on getdeb.net [03:32] * cody-somerville nods. [03:33] what do you do with gksudo? [03:33] forced to use keyboard? [03:34] um, never tried actually.. ;) [03:35] well, you could disable grabing. but there are some risks there... [03:36] run "gksu-properties" or something... [03:47] cody-somerville: also, xournal is a nice app as well [03:47] * cody-somerville nods. [03:47] * cody-somerville goes to bed. [04:06] what's xournal? [04:12] * burner sees [04:24] i've got a problem with the ntfs-config program it tells me i don't have permission to open a hard drive that it originally let me open and it has switched names of the hard drive on me [04:25] how can i uninstall it all and start again or fix the problem? [04:42] chown the device, i guess [04:45] Does anyone know how I can record the audio output of my soundcard? [04:50] lc2 was that for me and my problem? [04:51] yes [04:51] holyguyver: wire your speaker jack into your line in [04:51] if your soundcard doesn't support recording what's currently being played [04:52] My card does support it though, I just want to know what cammand to use in the terminal or what program to use to record my soundcards output. [04:52] lc2 [04:52] holyguyver: sudo apt-get install audacity [04:53] good recording software [04:53] and i should have been more specific, if the *driver* for your soundcard supports doing that [04:53] ty but i am curious how it switched file[disk] names on me [04:53] dunno [04:54] lc2 I already have audacity, been using it for years. [04:54] holyguyver: okay [04:54] So how do I do it? [04:54] i go to file/system/media and find the hard drive my music is on and when i open it it shoes me the files that are on my other hard drive [04:54] holyguyver: if you don't have the option to switch recording devices in that way in audacity, then, you can't do it [04:55] lc2 I never said I weather I have that option or not, How do I find that option? [04:56] holyguyver: whereever it is you select your recording device in audacity [04:57] I don't know where that is [04:57] lc2 [04:58] it's in the main window somewhere, i haven't used it in months so i really don't know [04:58] a drop-down box [04:59] lc2 Also I have not been able to get audacity to even play sound with hardy, it has trouble with pulseaudio I guess. [04:59] oh, that's odd [04:59] maybe you should report a bug [05:00] lc2 so besides audacity, preferably a terminal cammand for a sound demean, do you know of any? [05:05] nothing? [05:06] jesus give me a chance will you [05:06] Thank you [05:08] shit, lunix doesn't have a "mixer" command? [05:11] lc2 i just rebooted into windows to see if the music hard drive was still good and it is still working i rebooted back in xubuntu and it also [ntfs-3g] is working now [05:12] hokay [05:13] way beyond my limited knowledge as to why and yes hooray my husband has 50,000 files and it wud be a death sentence for me [05:13] lol [05:14] anyway is there a forum or something that i can go to to get info on ntfs-3g etc that u know of? [05:17] you might want to talk to the fuse people [05:17] lc2 can't I just pipe the output from the soundcard to wherever I want to save it? [05:18] holyguyver: you'd still have to set your recording device to do *anything* and that's only if your driver supports it [05:18] why you would want to do such a thing baffles me [05:18] So that I can record audio from my computer [05:19] well i figured that. [05:19] but you know, why would you want to do that? [05:19] A good example would be if someone wanted to record the sound from a videogame they are playing like DOOM. [05:20] mmkay [05:21] my reason is that I am trying to record an aidostream that streamripper cannot rip, so I need to rip it directly from my output. [05:22] oh. [05:22] well use alsamixer to set your recording device [05:22] (if your driver supports doing that) [05:25] & how ould I use alsa mixer? [05:25] k ty lc2 [05:25] would [05:25] holyguyver: in the terminal [05:26] run alsamixer [05:26] hit tab to select capture [05:26] move left/right keys to select your recording device, hit space [05:27] (again, this will fail if your driver does not support that as a recording device) [05:27] hit space [05:27] hit escape [05:27] profit [05:27] I am in the gui [05:27] so all you instructions are lost on me :p [05:27] hokay [05:27] well i dunno then [05:27] alsamixer here is a terminal program [05:28] alright I am in the terminal one now [05:28] then see above ^^ [05:28] then use whatever recording software you prefer to record it [05:28] profit!" [05:29] since i've not ever recorded anything on xubuntu that's all i can do for you [05:29] my options are mic b os capture capture2 digital input so input so2 [05:29] the device is probably capture [05:30] they are both turned up on full [05:30] (again, space to select it) [05:30] but as said I can't get audaicty to produce sound on hardy, so any other recording software suggestions? [05:30] ecasound if you liek command line [05:33] then, ecasound -i alsa -o somefile.wav [05:53] hey guys i got an issue [05:54] o noes [05:54] lol [05:55] i've tried installing 8.04 multiple times, i've checked both the live cd and alt cd isos md5s, run them through their self check...etc. neither cd will complete the install, they both freeze at random points during the install [05:55] weren't you here before? [05:56] indeed i was [05:56] shit. ;\ [05:56] what are they doing when they freeze? [05:56] i didn't recall getting an answer, so i came back to ask again [05:56] i think the live cd freezes during the partioning part, and the alt cd freezes when it goes to install the system [05:57] hmm :\ [05:57] but both my isos are flawless...etc. cds burned properly...i don't get it [05:57] i don't get it either [05:58] apparently this is a one in a million error...i've looked over ubuntuforums.org and the problem hasn't been mentioned [05:58] the only thing i can think it could be, is a bad burn both times [05:59] but if you're the same person who was here before, you tried burning it more than once [05:59] indeed [05:59] both isos [06:00] in which case, i haven't the foggiest idea what it could be ;( [06:00] yeah me too [06:00] i'm tempted to order a disc from the ubuntu site and see if it is something to do with my setup... [06:02] but it freezes at random points in the install [06:03] indeed [06:03] and whats weird is the damn live cd works beautifully... [06:03] but i can't install for crap. [06:04] hm :( [06:05] the only thing i can think of is boot up the live disc again and try it again...i wish i had some way of getting a screenshot of it frozen like that [06:05] the entire machine freezes [06:05] no problems with your hard drive? [06:05] hello [06:05] nope...not at all [06:05] hi svil [06:05] right now i've got win vista replacing ubuntu till i get this sorted. [06:05] XwarlokX82: :( i don't know what to suggest [06:06] who speak in russia? a bad speak in english, but i think that you can ubderstand me :) [06:06] *understand [06:08] thanks for trying to help lc2 [06:08] i appreciate it, gonna fool with the cd some more... [06:09] @svil: I can understand you. Go on please. [06:10] what packages must i install for using xfce windows effects such as transparent and other (without compiz)? [06:12] as I know far, Fluxbox supports transparency. But there may be other more practical ways;I never tried. [06:12] svil: if your driver supports it, then you don't have to install anything else [06:13] applications -> settings manager, window manager tweaks, compositor tab [06:13] if you don't have a tab there called compositor, then your driver doesn't support compositing (transparency and other fun) [06:16] for trying xubuntu i installed it in wmware under "ms windows". and i saw this tab. After that i installed xubuntu-desktop in ubuntu and don't saw this tab. is there wmware video driver support composite? [06:16] *vmware [06:17] svil: that may well be so [06:17] svil: what video card do you have? [06:17] I'm in a process of re-mastering the xubuntu live cd. I have a problem figuring out how the desktop icons are created during a boot time. [06:17] I'd like to remove Floppy Drive icon and maybe some others too and add My own ones. Anyone can help me with that ? [06:18] i have old video card ATI RAGE 128PRO [06:19] svil: i don't even know if a rage will support compositing [06:19] ralphz: no clue === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [06:47] gah [06:48] well...the installer firmly freezes at 6% when installing packages from the alternate cd [06:53] well, shit [06:55] indeed [06:55] just posted on ubuntuforums [06:55] hopefully someone there will have an answer [06:55] i'd have seen what package it was, but by the time i could switch terminals it had already frozen...so i have no clue what package is at fault [06:58] :( [07:00] yea, sucks [07:00] though i do now have my partitions setup, so it wasn't an entire failure [07:00] okay [07:00] so it just freezes randomly, which makes no sense [07:00] like, totally randomly [07:01] well i had my info backwards earlier [07:01] the live cd freezes at the partition manager, and the alt cd is ok up until package installation [07:02] hmm :\ [07:03] iirc i had a few issues with 7.10 install too...but nothing like this [07:04] i even tried turning off the acpi and apm stuff, to see if that was freezing it [07:04] * lc2 doesn't have a clue, not even any possibilities, but hopes you fix it :\ [07:05] i'll fixer, if i cant get xubuntu to work i'll just pick another, maybe vanilla ubuntu or kubuntu [07:06] good luck with that [07:06] ty [07:23] Hallo? [07:31] hi Twingle [07:37] how do i customize logout dialog ? [08:14] ralphz: ins sessions and startup settings [08:15] ralphz: isn't it obvious? ;) [08:16] you just have to think of th last place you would look for them, and sure enough they are there [08:16] TheSheep: but what configuration file does it change? I'm customizing the live iso :) [08:17] ralphz: /etc/xdg/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc or ~/.config/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc [08:18] the former is global, the latter is per user [08:18] TheSheep: thanks :) [08:21] TheSheep: is there somewhere a howto explaining all the xfce4-session.rc options? [08:25] ralphz: just set it for yourself using gui and then copy the file from ~/.config to /etc/xdg [08:25] ralphz: but it's dsecribed in the xfce documentation [08:30] Anyone have issues with keyboard lagging.. repeating.. not working wit h 8.04? [08:32] No? really, well, I'am :) hehhh... [08:35] Is there something for xfce tat i can use to display rss feeds on the right side of the desktop with ability to click on links? [10:11] I know this might fit better in #mplayer, but they couldn't fix the problem. Does anyone know why mplayer does not sync up right while totem is fine under xfce4? [10:25] Twingle: because mplayer sucks [10:25] it has random issues like that on freebsd as well, for the record === |hfsdo| is now known as hfsdo [10:56] anyone awake? [11:02] nope. [11:04] ... [11:11] is there a way to disable right click menus on panels and desktop ? [11:15] ralphz: google for xfce kiosk [11:15] TheSheep: i have enabled tat but still have right click menu menu [11:16] TheSheep: quit and restart. can i get rid of it ? === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [15:27] Que esta en la casa? [17:17] hello [17:18] I notice change in bootup process after latest kernel updates from latest ubuntu updates [17:18] and I dunno if it's some bug/issue or it should be so [17:19] the bootsplash is showing like for 4 seconds then the text about daemons that loaded [ok[ etc. is showing up (this wasn't before) [17:20] and then it bootup normally to gdm [17:20] is this some change ? in latest updates or something broke, I checked my bootsplash settings and they are like they were before I think [17:22] before it was bootsplash for all the time of booting [17:26] odd [17:26] i've not had that [17:34] :)) [17:34] yeah odd for me kinda too [17:35] if it would be no splash at all it would be easy to fix but short splash? [17:35] lol :P [17:42] indeed [17:42] * lc2 wonders [17:43] it's not showing any errors in the console when it drops to it? [17:48] nope [17:48] no errors [17:48] no debug info [17:48] just four seconds of bootsplash and then in textmode [17:48] noticied that after latest kernel updates [17:49] sub version 18/19 [18:14] mm :\ [19:28] does the (X)ubuntu torrent trackers allow uploads? every time I've used them I let it sit for a long time but no one ever uploads from me. even right after hardy came out. [19:28] s/uploads/outside seeders [19:31] it does, maybe you're behind a firewall/nat? [19:32] other torrents I have upload just fine. this computer is in the dmz of my router as well. [19:35] gaurdro: maybe there are not so many downloads anymore, once the release date is so long ago [19:37] I don't really expect anyone to be downloading it from me today, but I started but i began seeding a few days after it was released, and no downloaded from me. [19:43] I had several gigs downloaded from me === yandexx is now known as y4ndexx === y4ndexx is now known as yandexx === yandexx is now known as y4ndexx === y4ndexx is now known as yandexx === yandexx is now known as y4ndexx [20:46] hello [20:47] my screen resolution is a little crazy [20:47] running xubuntu on dell inspirion 8200 [20:47] it was ok [20:47] now it's hard to read menus [20:47] almost impossible [20:47] i switched to a low res to make things bigger for now [20:48] does anyone know how to fix this? [20:48] thanks! [20:48] you mean the fonts are small? [20:48] yes [20:48] fonts are small [20:48] menus are tiny [20:48] firefox looks ok [20:48] but XChat is impossible to read [20:48] unless i go low res [20:48] it's weird [20:49] sudo mousepad /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common [20:49] add this line: [20:49] Xft.dpi: 72 [20:50] wow [20:50] cool [20:50] umm [20:50] where do i add dpi 72 in this text file?

[21:00] yeah [21:01] it's nice to actually see [21:01] you should use the native resolution [21:01] how do i change it now? [21:01] the gui display manager doesnt let me [21:01] after i added the stuff to that file [21:02] i gather that would be 1600*1200 [21:02] sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:03] k [21:03] find the line: Section "Monitors" [21:03] it's open [21:03] How many partitions, what size and filesystem do I need to install Xubuntu?

[21:06] before that [21:06] inside the section [21:06] ok [21:06] a modeline for the monitor [21:06] ;) [21:06] there is a line that says that already [21:06] ok [21:06] there is?

[21:07] yeah well it's not that bad to set up a fixed dpi and resolution/refresh rate for a laptop [21:08] i wonder what happended to his DPI in the first place.. [21:08] Generally not set, and xorg defaults to 96 is my understanding. [21:08] ? [21:08] umm [21:08] so what should i do here?

Either that, or you've been a naughty spoo and played around heavily with your Hardy install. [21:20] ummm [21:20] i dunno [21:20]
