| shane_ | any idea as to y when i click on my places icon it goes to processing it and then after a while just stops and doesnt open nothing | 04:06 |
| favro | have you done anything like reinstall/move your home folder or such? | 04:09 |
| shane_ | not as far as i now | 04:09 |
| shane_ | same as when i download things it apears on my desktop and now they dont show,but if i go to change my desktop picture when i browse desktop it lists them | 04:11 |
| favro | we are talking about places in the top panel? | 04:11 |
| shane_ | yes | 04:11 |
| shane_ | when i open it it lists files when i click on any it gives the clock icon that its processing and then just stops and doesnt open | 04:11 |
| favro | figured so - just waiting for virtualbox to boot my xubuntu guest... | 04:11 |
| favro | any mounts from samba or nfs? | 04:12 |
| shane_ | im a relative newbie | 04:13 |
| favro | hehe - that's fine :) everyone starts out that way | 04:13 |
| shane_ | i have picked up a bit but not to much | 04:14 |
| favro | if you right click your home folder in places what does it say? | 04:16 |
| favro | your home folder = your login name | 04:16 |
| shane_ | it doesnt say anything it makes the lil icon that its working and then just stops | 04:16 |
| favro | ok - can you open a terminal? - type thunar / and hit enter | 04:20 |
| shane_ | thunar/ gives a no such file | 04:21 |
| favro | thunar / - there's a space before the / | 04:21 |
| shane_ | ok it has given a fresh line no words | 04:22 |
| favro | are you using xubuntu? | 04:23 |
| shane_ | yes xubuntu hardy | 04:23 |
| favro | ok then... - in terminal type sudo apt-get install thunar | 04:24 |
| shane_ | thunar is already the newest version | 04:25 |
| favro | again in terminal which thunar | 04:25 |
| shane_ | it just gives usr / bin / thunar | 04:27 |
| favro | so it should :) | 04:27 |
| shane_ | perfect ;) | 04:28 |
| favro | I don't know why the file manager thunar won't start from command line - does thunar in terminal do anything? | 04:28 |
| shane_ | thunar in terminal just brings a blank line | 04:29 |
| favro | my next suggestion would be to remove reinstall the file manager | 04:30 |
| favro | sudo apt-get --purge remove thunar | 04:30 |
| Odd-rationale | wait | 04:30 |
| Odd-rationale | before you do that... | 04:31 |
| shane_ | im still here | 04:31 |
| Odd-rationale | can i try something? | 04:31 |
| favro | watch to see if anything else will be removed | 04:31 |
| favro | sure | 04:31 |
| Odd-rationale | ok. hold on... | 04:31 |
| favro | Odd-rationale: :) | 04:31 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: try this command in a terminal: rm -rf ~/.config/Thunar | 04:32 |
| shane_ | the only time i use thunar is gksu thunar to unlock locked files | 04:32 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: tell me when you ahve run the above command... | 04:33 |
| shane_ | it doesnt seem to do a thing fresh shane @ line | 04:33 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: ok good. now do: thunar | 04:34 |
| shane_ | it just goes blank line now | 04:34 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: does thunar open anywhere? | 04:34 |
| shane_ | no and if i use thunar file manager nothing opens either | 04:35 |
| favro | does mousepad open from terminal? | 04:35 |
| shane_ | yes i get a untitled | 04:35 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: when did this start happening? | 04:36 |
| shane_ | yesterday was slow to open today is dead | 04:36 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: does `gksudo thunar` work ? | 04:36 |
| shane_ | sure does | 04:37 |
| shane_ | oh also yesterday my trash locked up on me also | 04:38 |
| shane_ | gave me a could not conect mesage | 04:39 |
| favro | dbus maybe? | 04:40 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: try: rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash | 04:40 |
| Odd-rationale | we can try restarting dbus... | 04:40 |
| shane_ | blashane @ line | 04:40 |
| shane_ | sorry blank | 04:40 |
| Odd-rationale | sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart | 04:40 |
| shane_ | wow that did something | 04:41 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: what did it say? any errors? | 04:41 |
| shane_ | lol i have no places icon now and my trash aplet is a red circle with a line through it | 04:42 |
| shane_ | everything is ok | 04:42 |
| Odd-rationale | :? | 04:42 |
| shane_ | in terminal all actions were marked as ok | 04:42 |
| shane_ | i still have no icon | 04:42 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: maybe we should restart fam as well: sudo /etc/init.d/fam restart | 04:43 |
| shane_ | that could not be found | 04:43 |
| Odd-rationale | ok nvm... | 04:44 |
| shane_ | sorry that was comand not found | 04:44 |

| favro | was this an install from the live cd? | 04:45 |
| shane_ | yes it was | 04:45 |
| shane_ | i have been running it for nearly 3 months | 04:46 |
| shane_ | my daughters machine had a prob 2 days ago also it lost the wireless card and i had to restart to get it to boot the card | 04:46 |
| shane_ | i am leaning on a update that was placed 2 days ago thats when all this began | 04:47 |
| favro | that makes me wonder about any updates you may have done | 04:47 |
| favro | :) | 04:47 |
| shane_ | lol yes but unfortianitly i dont keep track of them i just enter password and it does them all | 04:48 |
| favro | try in terminal sudo apt-get -f install | 04:48 |
| shane_ | 0 updates upgrades nothin removed | 04:49 |
| favro | k | 04:49 |
| shane_ | and if i enter the cpu speedo it lists just the programs i am using so there doesnt apear to be any faults | 04:50 |
| shane_ | in xterm that is | 04:50 |
| favro | does sudo killall -v thunar return anything? | 04:51 |
| shane_ | a bunch of killed thunar | 04:52 |
| shane_ | all signal 15 | 04:52 |
| favro | tha she blows | 04:52 |
| shane_ | wich is my prob | 04:52 |
| favro | run that command again - try the up arrow | 04:52 |
| favro | it "should " return no process killed | 04:54 |
| shane_ | no process killed | 04:54 |
| favro | now try thunar | 04:54 |
| shane_ | same just a blank line | 04:55 |
| favro | sudo killall -v thunar again | 04:55 |
| favro | any killed? | 04:55 |
| shane_ | nopers | 04:55 |
| favro | I'm still thinking --purge remove thunar install thunar but Odd-rationale might have a trick up his/her sleeve :) | 04:56 |
| shane_ | yah im not sure mabey we shall just wait for him to finish his shower and see | 04:57 |

| favro | the dbus restart shows you don't have a working file manager imo | 05:10 |
| shane_ | im guessing i am in need of a file manager then | 05:11 |
| Odd-rationale | i'm thinking you need to reboot... before we go much further... | 05:12 |
| shane_ | k ill be right back | 05:13 |
| Odd-rationale | hmm konversation on xfce... :? | 05:14 |

| shane_ | ok i alt f2 and did the xfce-4 and its back | 05:21 |
| shane_ | still no icon for places and trash is still locked up | 05:22 |
| shane_ | Odd-rationale: | 05:23 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: ok. let's try something more radical: rm -rf ~/.config ~/.local | 05:23 |
| shane_ | new shane @ line | 05:24 |
| Odd-rationale | then restart X: ctrl+alt+bksp | 05:24 |
| Odd-rationale | then log back in | 05:24 |
| shane_ | ok did restart again | 05:25 |
| shane_ | i had to alt f2 again | 05:25 |
| shane_ | and also it changed my sizing on monitor | 05:25 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: does thunar open now? | 05:26 |
| shane_ | no icon and trash locked and no thunar | 05:27 |
| Odd-rationale | hmm... | 05:27 |
| shane_ | gksu thunar works | 05:28 |

| favro | is the older kernel still available from the grub prompt? | 05:36 |
| favro | try booting into it if yes | 05:36 |
| shane_ | probing devices | 05:37 |

| s73v3r | Hi. Can someone help me with some install issues I'm having? | 08:01 |
| s73v3r | specifically, the installer segfaulting and crashing? | 08:02 |
| Odd-rationale | s73v3r: you can ask your question, and if any one knows the answer, they will help :D | 08:02 |
| s73v3r | That's pretty much it. The installer keeps crashing or giving segfaults whenever I try to install. Sometimes I get a '/sbin/modprobe abnormal exit' error, sometimes I get 'Recursive fault fixed, but reboot is required' and sometimes it just hangs | 08:04 |
| s73v3r | I've burned several different cds, both the desktop, the alternate, and the netboot iso | 08:04 |
| Odd-rationale | s73v3r: did you check the md5sum of the iso? | 08:05 |
| s73v3r | they all checked out | 08:05 |
| Odd-rationale | s73v3r: how about the check disk integrity from the boot menu? | 08:05 |
| s73v3r | most of the time that checks out too, but sometimes the installer crashes while trying to run the check | 08:06 |
| s73v3r | I just finished burning another CD, and am running the check on it now | 08:11 |
| Odd-rationale | i gtg to bed. bye all! | 08:30 |
| favro | bye Odd-rationale :) | 08:34 |
| s73v3r | what should I do for an /sbin/modprobe abnormal exit error? | 09:29 |
| TheSheep | s73v3r: what did you do to cause it? | 09:30 |
| s73v3r | put the install cd in the drive and tell it to install | 09:30 |
| TheSheep | ah, then the usual, make sure that the cd and your download are not corrupted, check the computer's memory, check for faulty hardware | 09:33 |
| blackj0k3r | salve.... sto cercando di installare xubuntu su un vecchio pc ma mi simpalla al 15% dell'installazzione....cosa può essere??? | 09:34 |
| TheSheep | you can also searhc the forums and Internet to see if there are any trouble with Linux on your specific hardware | 09:34 |

| jarnos | How do you play DVD by totem? | 13:08 |
| favro | !dvd | 13:09 |
| ubottu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 13:09 |
| jarnos | favro: I miss xine as default totem backend (and it can be used by e.g. gxine as well). | 13:15 |
| favro | and there's xine-ui now too | 13:16 |
| jarnos | favro: It is launched by command "xine". I find it more difficult to use. How do you play DVD by it, for instance? | 13:20 |
| favro | jarnos: I never use dvds - apart from !dvd I know you need to install libdvdcss2 | 13:22 |
| favro | jarnos: that is for drm dvds afaik | 13:23 |
| jarnos | favro: Yes, since I can play some DVDs without it. | 13:24 |
| favro | jarnos: then you need to enable the medibuntu repository and d/load libdvdcss2 | 13:25 |
| favro | !medibuntu | 13:25 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 13:25 |
| jarnos | favro: but I don't see any menu item for dvd in totem or xine. But gxine has. (I don't use autoplay/automount in totem preferences) | 13:35 |
| favro | jarnos: I'll boot into xubuntu for a look | 13:36 |
| jarnos | favro: oh there is sometimes an item in totem for the drive. | 13:37 |
| favro | I thought I saw something about dvd menu in totem - but it has been a while | 13:38 |
| favro | in totems' top menu - go - has dvd menu | 13:41 |
| favro | jarnos: ^^ | 13:41 |
| filipegatti | hello there! i'm using xubuntu on my laptop and i need to set up a external display, how can I do that? | 13:43 |
| favro | !xinerama | 13:45 |
| ubottu | xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead | 13:45 |
| filipegatti | thank you for the infor! | 13:46 |
| favro | filipegatti: does the lappy have a nvidia card for graphics? 'cause there's | 13:47 |
| favro | !twinview | 13:48 |
| ubottu | twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings | 13:48 |
| filipegatti | it's intel integrated | 13:48 |
| filipegatti | :( | 13:48 |
| filipegatti | i'll try rebooting to see if work... thank you :) | 13:54 |
| filipegatti | hello | 14:07 |
| filipegatti | i rebooted my laptop | 14:08 |
| filipegatti | now my 19` monitor is | 14:08 |
| filipegatti | showing the desktop ?D | 14:08 |
| filipegatti | in a very ugly way | 14:08 |
| filipegatti | i have configured it at first instance, but now its showing something like 640z400 | 14:08 |
| favro | there is a virtual line you need in the screen section - the howto should mention it | 14:10 |
| filipegatti | phew | 14:14 |
| filipegatti | now it`s working ok, showing 1440x900 resolution | 14:14 |
| favro | well done :) | 14:14 |
| Myrtti | what was the command to regenerate the menus again? | 14:14 |
| filipegatti | but my laptop is showing the desktop too, and if i try to close it, the display turns off, and also my external. | 14:15 |
| favro | Myrtti: sudo update-menus? | 14:15 |
| Myrtti | bwah. Still in Finnish | 14:16 |
| Myrtti | oh well. | 14:16 |
| filipegatti | favro? any idea | 14:16 |
| filipegatti | damn keyboard | 14:17 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: I recommend xrandr over xinerama, if your graphics driver supports it. | 14:17 |
| filipegatti | how can i know if it supports? :P | 14:17 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: run xrandr | 14:18 |
| filipegatti | jarnos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/46866/ | 14:19 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: I think it is supported. | 14:20 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: actually, I have intel integrated, too. | 14:21 |
| favro | filipegatti: you need your xorg.conf to default to the external then - comment the lines for he onboard display | 14:21 |
| filipegatti | hmm | 14:21 |
| filipegatti | actually, now all my computer is very strange, the audio stopped working and the video is showing light it brightness is at 99% | 14:22 |
| filipegatti | god, let me solve the display first :( | 14:22 |
| filipegatti | ok, I'll try going to xorg.conf first | 14:22 |
| livingdaylight1 | i'm installing xubuntu ppc.... with mini iso. is system clock set to UTC? | 14:24 |
| favro | I set mine to local but utc is fine | 14:24 |
| livingdaylight1 | thx | 14:25 |
| favro | np | 14:25 |
| filipegatti | ok, now I guess I need to reboot again. | 14:25 |
| favro | filipegatti: logout will do | 14:25 |
| filipegatti | it will? i tried last time and nothing happened, i'll logout again | 14:26 |
| filipegatti | well, it didnt work | 14:34 |
| filipegatti | i found a way to make it, but it's too lame | 14:34 |
| filipegatti | when it's booting, if i close my note, the external still displays and then it's ok | 14:35 |
| filipegatti | but I really want things working when they have to be | 14:35 |
| filipegatti | the way* | 14:35 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" and log out and back. | 14:38 |
| favro | I haven't tryed using two monitors - maybe someone else can chime in with some support... | 14:38 |
| filipegatti | favro, thanks anyway, you helped a lot :) | 14:39 |
| filipegatti | jarnos, lets try! | 14:39 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: what is yours Xubuntu version? | 14:39 |
| filipegatti | its a very fresh install of 8.04 | 14:40 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: good. | 14:40 |
| filipegatti | logging out ;) | 14:40 |
| jarnos | What's wrong with ubuntuforums.org? | 14:41 |
| favro | it's been down for a while | 14:41 |
| filipegatti | jarnos, did it, but nothing changed after all | 14:42 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: can you tell again what is wrong? no sound.. | 14:42 |
| filipegatti | sound is nothing, i can fix it later | 14:43 |
| filipegatti | my problem is with external display | 14:43 |
| filipegatti | i'm using xubuntu 8.04 on my laptop, and i want to configure my 19" display on it. | 14:44 |
| filipegatti | after some help, my external display is already showing the desktop and on the right resolution | 14:44 |
| filipegatti | but my laptop is showing the desktop too (i wanted it to be turned off and only be turned on when i open it) | 14:45 |
| filipegatti | and if i try to close it, all the displays turn off | 14:45 |
| filipegatti | that's my problem | 14:46 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: try grandr | 14:47 |
| filipegatti | installing... | 14:48 |
| filipegatti | perfect. | 14:49 |
| filipegatti | thank you jarnos | 14:49 |
| filipegatti | ah | 14:49 |
| filipegatti | not so perfect, i can't close the notebook yet, even if its display is off | 14:50 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: I don't know about that, but one thing you may have to set is virtual line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/146859 | 14:53 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 146859 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "No dri for virtual screen greater than 2048x2048" [High,In progress] | 14:53 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: my laptoi is configured to suspend, if I close the lid. | 14:54 |
| filipegatti | xubuntu lacks of laptop gui configuration | 14:55 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: what do you mean? | 14:56 |
| filipegatti | when i tried linux mint, it offered a lot of options for my notebook in a easy and graphically way, by default | 14:56 |
| filipegatti | it was only a point, not a problem at all | 14:57 |
| filipegatti | i know that what i want to do is possible with this graphic card and display because i did it before, i only need to search more on how to do it with xubuntu :) | 14:58 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: look for settigns manager > screensaver > power management. There you can configure what happens when you close the lid. | 15:02 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: I agree that xrandr is not properly presented in 8.04. | 15:05 |
| filipegatti | haha, i searched a lot for this power management option, i would never guess it was on screensaver{?} section | 15:07 |
| filipegatti | no the lid problem is fixed | 15:07 |
| filipegatti | well, i guess now i can use it properly at least | 15:07 |
| filipegatti | thanks jarnos :) | 15:08 |
| filipegatti | now i'll fix the other stuff | 15:08 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: I am not sure, if your xrandr configuration survives a logout. | 15:09 |
| filipegatti | hmm, i think i'll never logout in my life then | 15:11 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: or you setup a startup script that will do the configuration each time. | 15:11 |
| filipegatti | thats an option | 15:12 |
| jarnos | filipegatti: but for it you have to use xrandr from command line. | 15:13 |
| filipegatti | i'm finishin a download and then I'll try one logout | 15:15 |
| filipegatti | and then one reboot to be sure | 15:15 |
| livingdaylight1 | guys, i'm on a xubuntu net install; but it appears stuck | 15:22 |
| livingdaylight1 | i got as far as being asked if i wanted stuff installed and all i selected was xubuntu desktop and its been hanging at 6% ever since | 15:23 |
| livingdaylight1 | is it normal? | 15:23 |
| jarnos | livingdaylight1: Xubuntu install is slow. | 15:26 |
| jarnos | livingdaylight1: too slow. | 15:26 |
| livingdaylight1 | jarnos: yikes | 15:27 |
| jarnos | livingdaylight1: how fast computer and how long it has been in 6% | 15:28 |
| livingdaylight1 | jarnos: iBook 640 ram 500MHz and its been hanging at 6% for about 1/2 hr | 15:29 |
| livingdaylight1 | jarnos: its jjust started moving again :p | 15:29 |
| jarnos | livingdaylight1: It was just teasing you. | 15:30 |
| livingdaylight1 | jarnos: hehe | 15:30 |
| livingdaylight1 | jarnos: that really tested my faith | 15:31 |
| livingdaylight1 | by the way... is there not a 8.04 ppc release? i've got 7.10 here and was told that if i wanted a recent release i should go for debianppc (etch/lenny) | 15:32 |
| jarnos | livingdaylight1: I hope the iBook is not running by battery power. | 15:32 |
| livingdaylight1 | jarnos: of course not ; | 15:33 |
| livingdaylight1 | ;) | 15:33 |
| jarnos | Can you use gnome-randr-applet in Xubuntu? | 15:42 |
| TheSheep | if your card supports randr extensions | 15:43 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: extensions? | 15:43 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: I can use xrandr. | 15:44 |
| TheSheep | not all card drivers support randr | 15:44 |
| TheSheep | ah, ok | 15:44 |
| TheSheep | then it should work | 15:44 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: How do you add it to your xfce panel? | 15:45 |
| TheSheep | you need to have xfapplet installed | 15:45 |
| TheSheep | then you add xfapplet to your panel, and select any gnome applet you need | 15:46 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: thanks, the applet is not usable for dual-screen yet. | 16:06 |
| livingdaylight1 | crap.... did a net install of xubuntu ppc 2hrs later, after its 'done' it asks to reboot but seems to hang on bootup | 16:23 |
| TheSheep | is ppc version even still supported? | 16:26 |
| livingdaylight1 | i end up with a black screen | 16:26 |
| livingdaylight1 | (initramfs) and a flashing cursor | 16:26 |
| livingdaylight1 | TheSheep: i dunno. its the link i was given | 16:26 |
| livingdaylight1 | it was a mini.iso of xubuntu 7.10 | 16:27 |
| TheSheep | livingdaylight1: does the ppc version use grub or something? | 16:27 |
| livingdaylight1 | something else i dunno what. | 16:27 |
| TheSheep | livingdaylight1: if so, try pressing esc on boot, pressing 'e' at the first entry and trying some of the boot options | 16:27 |
| TheSheep | !boot | 16:28 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 16:28 |
| livingdaylight1 | TheSheep: ? | 16:28 |
| livingdaylight1 | i installed the xubuntu and xubuntu splash screen comes up on reboot but then hangs | 16:29 |
| TheSheep | livingdaylight1: to get to boot options, you have to press esc before the splash screen appears | 16:30 |
| TheSheep | livingdaylight1: there is a lso a recovery mode there, which might work -- it's always some more information | 16:30 |
| TheSheep | livingdaylight1: "it hangs" is not really enough to tell anything | 16:31 |
| njsg | Is this expected or is it a misconfiguration?: http://shipit.xubuntu.com | 17:27 |
| cageman | yo can anyone recommend me a good alternative to the default 'movie player'? i need a small and simple player as media player classic is for windows | 17:31 |
| dtolj | how to enable xfwm transparency? | 17:35 |
| David-A | cageman: "movie player" is actually called "totem". of the ones I know (vlc, xine, mplayer,totem) I think totem is "simple", thou not the most "small". | 17:38 |
| jarnos | cageman: gxine | 18:30 |
| jarnos | cageman: gxine is best for DVD playback. VLC has nice hierarchical playlist and can play some formats by different speeds. | 18:33 |
| GourdCaptain | I have a HP Deskjet 5150 being shared from a Windows Vista machine on my network. How do I connect to it? (It's password protected.) | 18:34 |
| cageman | jarnos, hmm, i don't know why, but my totem is running ok video-files that use matroska, now gxine, mplayer, smplayer, they all are running in a poor way | 19:12 |
| cageman | matroska is files with .mkv extension | 19:12 |
| favro | !cups > GourdCaptain | 19:19 |
| ubottu | GourdCaptain, please see my private message | 19:19 |
| livingdaylight1 | guys; in xubuntu do you do sudo gedit to write and edit config files? | 20:11 |
| Myrtti | gksudo mousepad | 20:11 |
| livingdaylight1 | gksudo mousepad <path.of.config.file> ? | 20:14 |
| Myrtti | yup | 20:16 |
| livingdaylight1 | when i double click on a music file shouldn't Totem just come up? | 20:33 |
| livingdaylight1 | it spins a little as if something is happening and then just stops | 20:33 |
| livingdaylight1 | that means i have to right-click and then 'open with' in order to get app up to play the file | 20:34 |
| Ben_cs | hello | 20:53 |
| Ben_cs | In windows movies not in best quality are shown lright, while in xubuntu they're very pixelated. Seems windows is able to smudge the pixels into a watchable (even good quality) videos. I have an intel 950 card. Any way to make xubuntu do the same trick? | 20:55 |
| bytor4232 | Is there a version of VNC I can install and I can bring up my desktop remotely? | 21:12 |
| bytor4232 | never mind | 21:12 |
| GourdCaptain | Err, does anyone know how to network print TO a vista machine. Printer is hooked up to the vista machine, and requires a username and password. Someone /msg'd me how to print to a linux box FROM windows. | 21:36 |
| * GourdCaptain is pretty glad UMDGen runs on Wine. | 21:39 | |
