[00:09] ouass: hi [01:05] how do I undo this command: wget http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ubuntu/80DF6D58.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [01:09] anom01y: well, one easy way would be to open Applications --> System --> Sofware Sources and go to the software keys tab... ( I think it is the third tab) and delete the key... [01:23] can you embed a terminal session into the background? [01:26] yes you can see http://wayofthegeek.org/2008/06/sooo-pretty/ [02:10] hello [02:10] agian.... [02:10] backupPCor Bacula? any imput on what is better? [02:12] any input* [02:25] so anyone in here have an apple slim keyboard on a pc running xubuntu hardy/ [02:25] ? [02:25] there are a few bug reports about it, but can't get it worked out under xfce [04:25] Is there an "OpenGL" wrapper for Xu? [04:25] :/ [04:26] .i. [04:27] * cody-somerville is off to bed. [04:28] \o) \o/ (o/ [04:28] allright then. [04:29] maybe I should have asked "is there a way to route opengl calls through CPU" [04:29] (in apps that are specifically opengl) [05:07] hello === ozkugh_ is now known as ozkugh === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [08:53] what is the name of the login screen for xubuntu/xfce? [08:53] and where to get themes === nillerz is now known as Nillerz [09:08] Hey, are there any MD5 checksums for the iso for xubuntu? [09:08] hello? Anyone? [09:08] i believe there is [09:09] but i just installed xubuntu an hr ago [09:09] can you link me? They aren't in the download repositories, unless I am stupid [09:11] also, how is xubuntu? [09:11] is it like, working? [09:11] http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/10/08/getting-the-right-image/ [09:12] yea it works [09:12] i removed kubuntu for xubuntu [09:12] kubuntu gave me some probs [09:12] I'm coming from Fluxbuntu [09:12] There's minamalism for you, I loved it [09:13] which desktop environment does it run on? [09:14] Fluxbox [09:14] Its the fastest linux I've tried but sure does have issues with not doing what I tell it to [09:15] lol [09:15] I want it to run at 2048x1536 and it never would... but that's X windows for you [09:16] there were also issues of it not putting applications on the list of applications after an install [09:16] did u update drivers? [09:16] nah, it never updates either [09:16] it was running 7.10 [09:17] Also, found the MD5 checksums [09:17] I was going to install gentoo thinking it would be a fun all-day project then it said "This could take several days or weeks to install" and I was like "heh..." [09:18] lol [09:18] yea me too [09:18] but im not very familiar w/ nix [09:18] Kubuntu sounds fun though [09:18] but i dont think it will take that long [09:18] Me neither, just a few distro tests here and there, [09:18] which is why I wanted to install Gentoo, I wanted to get the guts and figure it all out bah mahself but jesus... [09:19] lol [09:19] yep [09:19] There is no graphical installer (worht mentioning) so you gotta manually place files via terminal [09:20] now, I'll be right back, I need to partition something over >>> there [09:20] how do i add other partitions and drives to file manager? [09:21] dunno. I'mjust making room for the OS [09:21] I'm using Cute Partition Manager [09:21] lol not u [09:21] some1 else in here [09:22] the installer will do that for u [09:22] fdisk [09:22] really? Okay, cool. [09:22] yep [09:22] im on dual boot [09:22] But I already burnt the partition manager. :\ [09:22] lol [09:23] I'm really getting this because I miss being an elitist Linux head [09:23] why didnt u use a virtual drive [09:23] "Oh, I use **LINUX**, so I don't have to worry about hackers on steroids." [09:23] nah, full install plz [09:24] yea a virtual drive will let u mount the disk w/out burning then u can run from there [09:24] as long as its an image file [09:27] wait, you can install linux with a drive emulator? [09:27] waaaa? [09:28] but that requires an OS to run don't it? [09:28] links plz [09:30] ohh i thought u were talkin bout the app for partitioning [09:30] you can run a partition manager through windows? [09:30] you're blowing my mind here, continue [09:30] partition magic is for windows i believe [09:31] I'm going to see this, if it's true then GOSH DARN [09:31] hello [09:31] u can partition in windows yes [09:31] it costs monies. [09:31] lmao [09:31] not if u torrent [09:31] like, 70 bucks [09:31] or find one in irc [09:32] can it resize partitions? That'd be cool [09:32] packetnews [09:32] .com [09:32] yes i think so [09:32] but again the ubuntu installer will do that for u! [09:32] just run the installer and ull se [09:32] see* [09:32] It will resize a partition? [09:32] YES [09:32] wat? [09:33] run the installer [09:33] I'll do that [09:33] That's some fucked up shit, pardon my french [09:33] no fucking problem [09:33] !language [09:33] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [09:34] I saw that coming [09:34] so sorry [09:34] :-< [09:34] okay so I'm gonna make sure I don't break shit then I'll burn this shit [09:34] SORRY! My bad, that was an accident [09:34] ???? [09:34] but anyway, I gotta check some things then I'm gonna run the live CD [09:34] what u gonna burn? [09:34] the iso [09:35] ok [09:35] ... [09:35] yea try it out [09:35] but first, checksums [09:35] myrtti? [09:35] I'm going to pretend I didn't see that this time, but this time only [09:35] is there a way to ad my other drives and partitions to thunar file manager? [09:35] thank you. I love you forever [09:36] add* [09:38] hashes match, yey [09:39] so yeah, xubuntu, it's like, easier topronounce than Fluxbuntu [09:39] lol [09:39] but not easier than kubuntu [09:40] Is it ZOO BOON TOO or is it ZOO BUN TOO [09:40] ubuntu with a zoo i think [09:40] been wondering myself [09:40] I'm concerned about the _bun_ part [09:40] long u or short u [09:40] i say boon [09:41] I've always said bun [09:43] is it possible to backwards construct a file out of an MD5 hash? [09:43] i dunno [09:44] That'd be interesting... probably take several days at the least though [09:44] only used md5 about 3x [09:45] are you in this chat from xubujntu? If so what browser are you using, or IRC client? [09:46] right now im on pidgin but it sux [09:46] im dling wine so i can run mirc [09:46] and utorrent [09:46] im gonna remove pidgin asap [09:46] Ever use Opera? [09:47] Has built-in bittorrent client and chat client for IRC [09:47] about 2 yrs ago but that was on winblows [09:47] The bittorrent client leaves something to be desired but the irc client is swell [09:47] also, its gotten insanely good since 2 years ago [09:47] i think mozilla has built in irc client [09:47] or at least addon [09:47] chatzilla yeah but it sucks [09:47] ok i dunno [09:47] i only like mirc [09:47] Firefox is horrible because it's making open source applications look bad [09:48] how are you running uTorrent without wine? [09:48] im not w/out wine [09:48] oh okay [09:48] thats y im dling wine [09:48] ??? [09:48] downloading [09:48] * [09:49] my connection is slow atm so its gonna take some time to dl [09:49] 30min more :( [09:49] wans't there a linux version of mirc? [09:49] I'm using Roadrunner cable it is awesome [09:49] I don't think there is... [09:50] i used to have rr [09:50] i liked it [09:50] but where im at now i cant get [09:50] I remember because it's hard enough to find a decent windows IRC client, linux is usually much harder [09:50] Ah, that's horrible, I know how it is [09:50] We have it now since they built windmills around us and needed internet up there [09:50] We were on dialup for YEARS [09:50] im stuck with either verizon (no FIOS) or charter [09:50] Nillerz: irssi is very decent [09:50] ima go w/ charter 10m down [09:51] ive written some scripts for mirc so i dont want to lose them [09:51] xchat is quite good if you want a gui [09:52] gui's are for pussies. [09:52] as long as you remember not to mix it up with xchat-gnome which is bad [09:53] Fluxbox could run Gnome and KDE apps. It was neato [09:53] Nillerz: OH, really? Well then I have to change from irssi back to xchat, NEH? [09:54] NEH? [09:54] HEH? [09:54] Nillerz: you can run gnome and kde apps in any window manager [09:57] is it justme or does this window manager look EXACTLY like gnome? [09:59] it uses the same window toolkit and themes, so you might get this impression [09:59] :( [09:59] but you say it is faster, right? [09:59] is there a way to get file manager to see my other drives and partitions? [09:59] also, Gnome is just u g l y [10:00] Nillerz: question of taste, if you don't like it then use fluxbox [10:00] R1cochet: it should see them without doing anything special [10:01] well for some reason thunar doesnt show them [10:01] R1cochet: what kind of partitions are those? [10:01] ntfs [10:01] so the partition manager can re-size pa0rtitions right? [10:01] Nillerz: yes, with some luck [10:01] Nillerz: make a backup [10:02] !ntfs | R1cochet [10:02] R1cochet: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [10:02] I don't have a hard drive to back up to... [10:03] oh well.; [10:03] i had no problems with resize nillerz [10:03] but when i restarted winblows it checked hardware for changes cuz of resize but all was fine [10:05] okay, I'll only give it about 5 gigs or so.

Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [10:05] :) [10:06] then again, it has gotten stablier in the recent versions [10:08] ho-hum [12:28] Do you have to use Alternate install CD to be able to install grub to boot sector of a partition? [12:51] hallo fols [12:51] hallo folks [12:51] I need to install a vnc server on my laptop running xubuntu [12:52] can anyone suggest one? [12:52] where I can find docs et similar? [12:52] I use vnc4server [12:52] !vnc [12:52] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [12:53] running on composite desktop [12:53] is 's run on composite desktop? [12:54] it'll run if you have compositing [12:55] I use vino server, but seems not work when I try to connect by a win pc [12:56] I use vino server, but seems not work when I try to connect from a win pc, pardon [12:56] returnCode, are you trying to log in from windows with a vnc client or remote desktop? [12:57] My xubuntu laptop running vino-server [12:58] I try to connect using thight-vnc client on win pc [12:59] @ablomen: some hints [13:08] nah sorry no idea why it wont work [13:12] thanks anyway [13:13] thanks anyway [14:57] come si cambia la risoluzione della schermata di login in xubuntu hardy????

[22:28] bytor4232: I don't use wireless myself but isn't there a profile you can set for diff connections? [22:29] No, the network manager finds the access point, then asks you for the key. [23:21] <^paradox^> hello everyone [23:22] hi, ^paradox^ [23:22] <^paradox^> ive been using ubuntu linux for about six months now. im still very new to linux [23:23] welcome [23:23] <^paradox^> i have ubuntu with installed on my machine. i recently installed xubuntu-desktop and have been running into problems with it [23:23] <^paradox^> thanks [23:25] <^paradox^> the problems seem to be totem related [23:25] k like what? [23:26] <^paradox^> when i play a song of any format i get no sound. when i play a video i get only video, no sound. when i insert a cd totem comes up to open it and i get error location not found [23:26] <^paradox^> these things dont happen in ubuntu with gnome [23:27] <^paradox^> whenever i just left click in the file browser or a folder totem is what opens up the media by default [23:28] <^paradox^> i have vlc media player and mplayer which i access with a right click and they play videos and songs just fine [23:28] <^paradox^> under xubuntu [23:29] that sounds like a strange problem... :| [23:30] <^paradox^> ive been told that xubuntu can run any app that gnome can, but that doesnt seem true at this point [23:30] well it should... that's the point... [23:31] <^paradox^> but like i said im a nix noob so im afraid i dont really understand exactly whats going on [23:31] ^paradox^: is it 8.04? [23:32] <^paradox^> i have 8.04 of ubuntu. i installed xubuntu thru synaptic and reloaded synaptic first. i assume i got the latest version of xubuntu desktop [23:32] <^paradox^> xubuntu-desktop [23:33] yes you would have [23:33] my guess is that it is pulseaudio/gstreamer related... [23:34] <^paradox^> ive been told that [23:34] hold on. i'll be right back and see what i can do... [23:34] <^paradox^> okie dokie [23:37] ^paradox^: ok. well let's try to replace totem-gstreamer with totem-xine. Same interface, but just different backends. open synaptics and search for totem. mark totem-gstreamer for removal and mark totem-xine for install. then select apply. [23:38] <^paradox^> ok [23:38] xine handles dvd better than gstreamer anyways... esp. encrypted ones with the libdvdcss2 package from medibuntu repo [23:39] anyone got a minute to help me troubleshoot this sound problem (no sound) on a new hardy install? heres a paste of terminal output: http://pastebin.com/m7a44351a [23:41] <^paradox^> Odd-rationale: did that [23:42] ^paradox^: have sound in totem now? [23:42] <^paradox^> let me test [23:43] <^paradox^> with a video yes. let me test a song too [23:44] <^paradox^> alright have sound with songs too [23:44] cool. i guess it is gstreamer related... [23:44] how about rhythmbox. do you have sound in that? [23:44] ^paradox^: ? [23:45] <^paradox^> ill check [23:47] <^paradox^> with rythmbox it keeps flashing back and forth between the two songs i have in that folder [23:48] <^paradox^> when right click to play with vlc vlc works [23:49] ^paradox^: must be a problem with gstreamer and maybe with it's pulseaudio integration... [23:50] <^paradox^> if were to reinstall gstreamer would it remove xine? [23:51] ^paradox^: well, i don't think you can have totem-gstreamer and totem-xine installed at the same time... [23:51] but you can have the gstreamer engine... [23:51] <^paradox^> how does that work? [23:53] <^paradox^> and what name would i be looking for in synaptic? [23:54] ^paradox^: for what? [23:54] <^paradox^> this gstreamer engine [23:54] you have it installed... [23:54] <^paradox^> oh lol ok [23:55] <^paradox^> any idea whats up with the CDs, why i get this error location not found? [23:57] ^paradox^: is it when you select cd from the totem menu? [23:58] <^paradox^> its when i insert a cd. after its in the drive totem comes up and then i get error loaction not found [23:58] <^paradox^> location [23:59] ^paradox^: hmm. try using sound juicer to autoplay cd instead...
