| Inside | hello | 00:19 |
|---|---|---|
| Inside | any way to hide the titlebars of windows? | 00:19 |
| zoredache | I believe you can use something like devilspie to undecorate a window | 00:20 |
| Inside | hmm | 00:20 |
| Inside | just trying to install eeexubuntu onto my eeepc and the resolution is so small that I can't fit the entire xubuntu install window. | 00:20 |
| Inside | funny huh | 00:20 |
| zoredache | I would probably use the alternate installer for an eee instead of the livecd... | 00:21 |
| Inside | like? | 00:21 |
| Inside | i'm using a usb stick | 00:22 |
| zoredache | what do you mean like? The iso is named 'alternate'... How did yo build your usb? Did you copy the contents of the livecd onto it? | 00:23 |
| zoredache | !mini | 00:23 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 00:23 |
| zoredache | !alternate | 00:23 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic 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/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 00:23 |
| Inside | zoredache: well there's some sort of a special xubuntu install made just for the eee with the drivers,etcetc already on there | 00:24 |
| Inside | if the alternate/mini cds have anything different, I'm afraid I don't know how I'd install the proper drivers. | 00:24 |
| Inside | oh hur hur | 00:27 |
| Inside | I can just the alt key >_> | 00:27 |
| Inside | although that does eliminate all of the excitement of trying to find the right key combos to get through the installer | 00:28 |
| DCPom | has anyone been unable to use pidgin-libnotify? | 00:49 |
| DCPom | and do they have a solution to the problem? | 00:49 |
| zoredache | I symlinked .gaim to .purple | 00:50 |
| Inside | With a 2GB HD and 512MB of ram, is it okay to have no swap partition? | 00:50 |
| zoredache | Inside: sure | 00:51 |
| DCPom | zoredache, i don't know how to symlink | 00:51 |
| zoredache | fire up a terminal, and do an ls -al in your home directory and see if .gaim exists... | 00:52 |
| DCPom | it doesn't | 00:52 |
| zoredache | if it doesn't then simply run the command ln -s .purple/ .gaim | 00:52 |
| DCPom | that didn't work, i still can't enable libnotify | 00:54 |
| zoredache | do an ls -al on ~/.purple/ make sure you account owns everything | 00:55 |
| DCPom | i do | 00:55 |
| DCPom | i found online that running pidgin with /usr/bin/dbus-launch /usr/bin/pidgin works, but it's inconvenient | 00:57 |
| atticstorm_ | Hello, does anyone have an experience getting sound working on a ThinkPad x21? | 01:05 |
| DCPom | does anyone have a solution to get pidgin-libnotify working? | 01:41 |

| zapper23m | Hi | 07:16 |
| zapper23m | I need a list of networking commands I can use on terminal. I was unable to find it on google. Can anyone provide a link informing about commonly used network commands? | 07:19 |
| zoredache | what do you mean? | 07:20 |
| zapper23m | i want to connect to another laptop on my home network | 07:22 |
| zapper23m | from my laptop, i want to know its ip address by scanning the network | 07:22 |
| zapper23m | then i want to know the operating system it uses | 07:22 |
| zapper23m | and the open ports on that network | 07:22 |
| zapper23m | then i want to connect with some of the open ports and share some files | 07:22 |
| zapper23m | i just want to know the commands with which i can do all these things on terminal | 07:22 |
| zoredache | read up about ssh, nmap, ping, tcpdump, fusesmb, smbclient, wget, rsync, telnet | 07:28 |
| zapper23m | thank you :) | 07:30 |
| zapper23m | i was reading about ftp | 07:30 |
| zoredache | that is useful in some cases too, but ftp is becoming less and less popular because it is difficult to get through firewalls and routers running NAT | 07:31 |
| zapper23m | i tried ftp then open 192.168.11.x 23 it said connection: connection refused, the lappy is on winXP perhaps firewall is blocking it | 07:33 |
| zoredache | windows xp doesn't have an ftp server running by default | 07:38 |
| zapper23m | okay...i am trying to install nmap now | 07:39 |
| zoredache | sudo apt-get install nmap | 07:41 |
| zapper23m | happening...ty | 07:42 |
| zapper23m | i found 6 open ports msrpc, netbios-ssn, microsoft-ds, NFS-or-IIS, ms-term-serv and admdog | 07:51 |
| zapper23m | can any of these ports be used for transferring files? | 07:51 |
| floating | anyone using rhytmbox ? | 10:15 |

| coldhak | i've installed alsa, my sound works, but I can't use two sound applications at once(ie, skype-amarok, amarok-mplayer | 11:11 |
| coldhak | how can I fix that? | 11:12 |
| coldhak | ....it's still damn early in europe isn't it? | 11:18 |
| krylyx | well | 11:19 |
| krylyx | its early here in brazil anyway :P | 11:19 |
| krylyx | coldhak: check if both of them are using alsa as output plugin | 11:20 |
| coldhak | amarok doesn't appear to have a setting for that. i do'nt know what it uses | 11:20 |
| coldhak | skype uses alsa | 11:21 |
| coldhak | atleast i thought it did, i don't see options for that either | 11:21 |
| krylyx | well, I never used amarok before, as it's a kde software, i would recommend you using audacious. i had the same problem you have now, it was just a question of fixing which output plugin each software uses. audacious by default wasn't using alsa, then i set it up and everything started working | 11:22 |
| coldhak | I quit using audacious 'cause it crashes all the time. | 11:24 |
| krylyx | well, there are something strange then. it never crashed to me... | 11:26 |
| krylyx | well, i really gotta go, job is waiting | 11:26 |
| krylyx | good luck :-) | 11:26 |
| coldhak | well, in particular it goes "OMG TOO MUCH" when i load my library :) | 11:26 |
| coldhak | apparently three weeks solid is a lot of data. | 11:27 |
| coldhak | with some incompatible file types, which it just stops on | 11:27 |
| coldhak | stops playing that is | 11:27 |
| coldhak | i'm going to try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=101125 | 11:28 |
| venome | coldhak: yea, I had simmilar problems, it wasn't able to play some of my MP3 - it played only a second and than 5 seconds of silence .... | 11:28 |
| venome | now I use a media manager instead | 11:29 |
| coldhak | I used xmms2 after audacious, but i like amarok. management and smartplaylists and stuff is nice | 11:29 |
| venome | and I'm running pulseaudio as the backend, no problems so far | 11:33 |
| venome | yep, I use amarok too | 11:33 |
| venome | its faster than banshee and has more features than rhythmbox | 11:33 |
| floating | i want to scrobble internet radio stations with last.fm | 11:36 |
| floating | anyone know any players ? | 11:36 |
| venome | yep, amarok | 11:37 |
| venome | or banshee, rhythmbox | 11:37 |
| floating | they do it by default ? | 11:37 |
| venome | I think also audiacious and XMMS have plugins | 11:37 |
| floating | if you play like some station from shoutcast.com | 11:37 |
| venome | by default... ussually you have to enable the feature / download plugin | 11:38 |
| venome | and then enter your last.fm account information | 11:38 |
| floating | mkay.. i see. which of those players i might want | 11:38 |
| venome | as i've said, I think amarok is the best one | 11:39 |
| floating | do you yourself scrobble internet radios ? | 11:40 |
| venome | nope, I scrobble only last.fm streams and my own MP3's | 11:40 |
| venome | (cause i don't know any good radio that plays the music I like) | 11:41 |
| floating | lets see if i can find the plugin for amarok | 11:42 |
| venome | I think its there if you install it from repository | 11:42 |
| venome | you'll just have to go thru the menus to enable it | 11:43 |
| floating | uff... database | 11:47 |
| floating | theres an option to submit tracks i play | 11:54 |
| floating | and to retrieve similar artists | 11:54 |
| venome | retrieve similar artist = you'll get reccomendations that are shown in amarok | 11:55 |
| venome | submit tracks = normal scrobbling | 11:55 |
| floating | so i might need a plugin ? | 11:56 |
| venome | well if scrobbling is enough, then you dont need it | 11:57 |
| venome | just tick the submit tracks | 11:57 |
| floating | i try play some radio and see.. | 11:57 |
| venome | also, you have to enter the last.fm details somewhere | 11:57 |
| venome | (dont have it installed on this pc | 11:57 |
| floating | yeah, i already scrobbled a local file so it works | 11:57 |
| floating | ok.. doesn't scrobble these radio streams | 12:03 |
| coldhak | :D i fixed my sound problem | 12:04 |
| floating | after a song ends, some message popped up, but couldnt make anything of it cuz im on dual screen and it chose the poor tv screen for to show it :o | 12:04 |
| coldhak | drag it to the good screen? | 12:04 |
| floating | its not a window | 12:05 |
| floating | some balloon that is visible for few seconds | 12:05 |
| floating | i wonder if venome was 100% sure that you can scrobble internet radio | 12:07 |
| floating | and didnt mix it with last.fm streams... | 12:08 |
| floating | although he seemed to be :/ | 12:08 |
| coldhak | define "scrobble", google's only word of it relates to last.fm | 12:10 |
| floating | scrobbling means to submit track information to last.fm profile | 12:13 |
| floating | 14:13:15 <@nhnFreespirit> floating: I am not sure that has ever worked in amarok 1 | 12:14 |
| floating | 14:13:39 <@nhnFreespirit> in Amarok 2 it _might_ become possible very soon, as last.fm is getting a major overhaul | 12:14 |
| floating | I suggest people to consider giving advices when they know what they are talking about :( | 12:14 |

| oklinux_ | is xubuntu is a rolling realease ? | 14:29 |
| cody-somerville | No | 14:37 |
| cody-somerville | It is time based release cycles | 14:38 |
| oklinux_ | so is not like archlinux where is a rolling realease ? what is the advantage of rolling realease ? | 14:38 |
| ablomen | oklinux_, more up to date, but theoraticly less stable | 14:40 |
| ablomen | since you have a lot of updates, including new versions of libs and software, there is a bigger chance of incompatibility problems between libs and programs | 14:41 |
| oklinux_ | so is not always good ? | 14:42 |
| ablomen | well, depends on what you want | 14:42 |
| ablomen | from your linux distrobution | 14:42 |
| oklinux_ | stable easy fast less headage | 14:43 |
| ablomen | well then a release cycle based distro might be the thing for you | 14:43 |
| oklinux_ | like xubuntu | 14:43 |
| ablomen | yep | 14:43 |
| oklinux_ | Im testing archlinux on another machine is more work then you can shake a stick at it | 14:44 |

| excalibas | ups, I mean thanks cody-somerville and JinKazama hehe Im a bit dyslexic | 18:31 |
| Maximilian1st | Great. I did not upgrade to the new version yet, hope this will go smoothly, although I am not using xfce packages anymore, svn here. Do you have a roadmap for 4.6 integration in Xubuntu? | 18:33 |

| wattz | anyone here ever setup an elo touchscreen on xubuntu? | 19:52 |
| knome | nope | 19:52 |
| venome1 | not elo, but egalax ... | 19:55 |
| venome1 | wattz: in case you need an advice | 19:55 |
| wattz | i have it working sorta | 19:55 |
| wattz | it seems to be doing the exact opposite of my guester | 19:56 |
| wattz | gesture | 19:56 |
| venome1 | such as? | 19:56 |
| wattz | if i move left, it moves right | 19:56 |
| wattz | up is down | 19:56 |
| wattz | dogs and cats living together | 19:56 |
| wattz | (sorry for the ghostbuster's quote) | 19:57 |
| venome1 | :) there is a parameter for that ... let me see | 19:57 |
| wattz | let me post you my xorg.conf | 19:57 |
| wattz | might give insite | 19:57 |
| wattz | insight | 19:57 |
| wattz | Im a bit of a newb on this | 19:57 |
| wattz | venome1: http://www.pastie.org/292379 | 19:59 |
| venome1 | add Option SwapX "1" to the configuration of your touchscreen | 19:59 |
| venome1 | and probably also SwapY | 19:59 |
| wattz | it's Option "SwapX" "1" | 20:00 |
| wattz | correct? | 20:00 |
| venome1 | yea, sry, that's right | 20:00 |
| floating | venome fyi: scrobbling internet radio is not yet implemented, but actually it will be supported in amarok 2 very soon | 20:00 |
| venome1 | to the "InputDevice" section (touchscreen) | 20:00 |
| venome1 | floating: ok, thanks for info, looking forward to the version 2 :) | 20:01 |
| venome1 | wattz: and in your post, there is the # character before the EndSection of the InputDevice -- guess it shouldn't be there | 20:04 |
| venome1 | wattz: i mean the '#' char | 20:04 |
| wattz | ahh | 20:04 |
| wattz | let me fix | 20:04 |
| wattz | heh | 20:08 |
| wattz | venome1: now my regular mouse nor my touch screen is working :( | 20:10 |
| venome1 | whoops ... | 20:11 |
| venome1 | well, I can send you my copy of xorg.conf ... | 20:12 |
| wattz | sure | 20:12 |
| venome1 | btw. are you sure about the /dev/input/event1 ? | 20:12 |
| wattz | got that from my /proc/input/devices | 20:13 |
| venome1 | all right, that's ok | 20:13 |
| wattz | double checking | 20:13 |
| venome1 | http://www.pastie.org/292399 | 20:15 |
| venome1 | wattz: http://www.pastie.org/292399 | 20:15 |
| wattz | now i forgot where my devices proc is | 20:15 |
| wattz | argh | 20:15 |
| venome1 | but i do use the touchscreen only | 20:16 |
| wattz | i will too, oncei get it working | 20:16 |
| venome1 | it's under /proc/bus/input/devices | 20:16 |
| wattz | bus | 20:16 |
| wattz | that's what i forgot | 20:16 |
| wattz | thanx | 20:16 |
| venome1 | np | 20:17 |
| wattz | H: Handlers=mouse1 event1 js0 | 20:17 |
| venome1 | ok, so its event1, that one is ok | 20:17 |
| venome1 | can you paste me the /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 20:18 |
| venome1 | ? | 20:18 |
| wattz | sure | 20:18 |
| venome1 | there should be some info on why the mouse / touch is not working | 20:18 |
| venome1 | or you can try running Xorg -probeonly -verbose 5 to see whats going on (but you'd have to run it from console without xserver up) | 20:19 |
| wattz | on that command can i grep something to narrow it down? | 20:21 |
| wattz | like elo? | 20:21 |
| venome1 | well, i'm not sure how the error line might look like | 20:21 |
| venome1 | just paste it all, it shouldn't be that long | 20:22 |
| wattz | http://www.pastie.org/292408 | 20:22 |
| venome1 | it looks like the evtouch driver is not the proper one for your device | 20:24 |
| venome1 | according to: (EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (2) | 20:24 |
| venome1 | (EE) Failed to load module "evtouch" (module requirement mismatch, 0) | 20:24 |
| wattz | argh | 20:26 |
| wattz | i downloaded... | 20:26 |
| wattz | I will just compile one | 20:26 |
| venome1 | this one is the one from xubuntu? | 20:26 |
| wattz | there is one specifically for xubuntu? | 20:27 |
| wattz | there is an apt-get for it | 20:27 |
| wattz | lol | 20:27 |
| venome1 | yea | 20:27 |
| venome1 | xserver-xorg-input-evtouch | 20:27 |
| wattz | i have so many things installed for this, i should prolly just start over :P | 20:28 |
| venome1 | might be the best way ... my xorg.conf is functional, so you may use the server layout and touchscreen sections ... | 20:30 |
| venome1 | also you may try other drivers than evtouch | 20:30 |
| venome1 | good luck, and bye for now | 20:31 |
