[00:19] <Inside> hello
[00:19] <Inside> any way to hide the titlebars of windows?
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <zoredache> I would probably use the alternate installer for an eee instead of the livecd...
[00:21] <Inside> like?
[00:22] <Inside> i'm using a usb stick
[00:23] <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] <zoredache> !alternate
[00:24] <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.
[00:27] <Inside> oh hur hur
[00:27] <Inside> I can just the alt key >_>
[00:28] <Inside> although that does eliminate all of the excitement of trying to find the right key combos to get through the installer
[00:49] <DCPom> has anyone been unable to use pidgin-libnotify?
[00:49] <DCPom> and do they have a solution to the problem?
[00:50] <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?
[00:51] <zoredache> Inside: sure
[00:51] <DCPom> zoredache, i don't know how to symlink
[00:52] <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
[00:54] <DCPom> that didn't work, i still can't enable libnotify
[00:55] <zoredache> do an ls -al on ~/.purple/ make sure you account owns everything
[00:55] <DCPom> i do
[00:57] <DCPom> i found online that running pidgin with /usr/bin/dbus-launch /usr/bin/pidgin works, but it's inconvenient
[01:05] <atticstorm_> Hello, does anyone have an experience getting sound working on a ThinkPad x21?
[01:41] <DCPom> does anyone have a solution to get pidgin-libnotify working?
[04:15] <krylyx> hello there, can anyone recommend me a good virtual machine? i need to test some others distros :(
[04:19] <favro> I use virtualbox without complaints
[05:14]  * wormsxulla wonders whether biabia has a dial-up modem and uses pppd :p
[05:15] <wormsxulla> biabia, what is happening to your connection?
[06:18] <LuYu> well, it looks as if i should have looked for this chanlle earlier
[06:18] <LuYu> :)
[06:18] <LuYu> s/chanlle/channel
[06:19] <LuYu> is anybody present now?
[06:24] <wormsxulla> i am, but i am a n00b. non-n00bs might be lurking and waiting for a good question or topic :)
[07:16] <zapper23m> Hi
[07:19] <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?
[07:20] <zoredache> what do you mean?
[07:22] <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
[07:28] <zoredache> read up about ssh, nmap, ping, tcpdump, fusesmb, smbclient, wget, rsync, telnet
[07:30] <zapper23m> thank you :)
[07:30] <zapper23m> i was reading about ftp
[07:31] <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
[07:33] <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
[07:38] <zoredache> windows xp doesn't have an ftp server running by default
[07:39] <zapper23m> okay...i am trying to install nmap now
[07:41] <zoredache> sudo apt-get install nmap
[07:42] <zapper23m> happening...ty
[07:51] <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?
[10:15] <floating> anyone using rhytmbox ?
[10:15] <floating> i want to be able to scrobble internet radio stations with last.fm, and found out its possible with rhytmbox, but i dont know how to materialize this info http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/f459a0eac3ef9873
[11:11] <coldhak> i've installed alsa, my sound works, but I can't use two sound applications at once(ie, skype-amarok, amarok-mplayer
[11:12] <coldhak> how can I fix that?
[11:18] <coldhak> ....it's still damn early in europe isn't it?
[11:19] <krylyx> well
[11:19] <krylyx> its early here in brazil anyway :P
[11:20] <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
[11:21] <coldhak> skype uses alsa
[11:21] <coldhak> atleast i thought it did, i don't see options for that either
[11:22] <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
[11:24] <coldhak> I quit using audacious 'cause it crashes all the time.
[11:26] <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 :)
[11:27] <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
[11:28] <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 ....
[11:29] <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
[11:33] <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
[11:36] <floating> i want to scrobble internet radio stations with last.fm
[11:36] <floating> anyone know any players ?
[11:37] <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
[11:38] <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
[11:39] <venome> as i've said, I think amarok is the best one
[11:40] <floating> do you yourself scrobble internet radios ?
[11:40] <venome> nope, I scrobble only last.fm streams and my own MP3's
[11:41] <venome> (cause i don't know any good radio that plays the music I like)
[11:42] <floating> lets see if i can find the plugin for amarok
[11:42] <venome> I think its there if you install it from repository
[11:43] <venome> you'll just have to go thru the menus to enable it
[11:47] <floating> uff... database
[11:54] <floating> theres an option to submit tracks i play
[11:54] <floating> and to retrieve similar artists
[11:55] <venome> retrieve similar artist = you'll get reccomendations that are shown in amarok
[11:55] <venome> submit tracks = normal scrobbling
[11:56] <floating> so i might need a plugin ?
[11:57] <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
[12:03] <floating> ok.. doesn't scrobble these radio streams
[12:04] <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?
[12:05] <floating> its not a window
[12:05] <floating> some balloon that is visible for few seconds
[12:07] <floating> i wonder if venome was 100% sure that you can scrobble internet radio
[12:08] <floating> and didnt mix it with last.fm streams...
[12:08] <floating> although he seemed to be :/
[12:10] <coldhak> define "scrobble", google's only word of it relates to last.fm
[12:13] <floating> scrobbling means to submit track information to last.fm profile
[12:14] <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 :(
[14:29] <oklinux_> is xubuntu is a rolling realease ?
[14:37] <cody-somerville> No
[14:38] <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 ?
[14:40] <ablomen> oklinux_, more up to date, but theoraticly less stable
[14:41] <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
[14:42] <oklinux_> so is not always good ?
[14:42] <ablomen> well, depends on what you want
[14:42] <ablomen> from your linux distrobution
[14:43] <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
[14:44] <oklinux_> Im testing archlinux on another machine is more work then you can shake a stick at it
[14:45] <oklinux_> my main machine is xubuntu
[17:41] <jo4> how can i get the name that's possibly set to a username?
[17:43] <Myrtti> huh?
[17:43] <jo4> like if i do useradd, i can register a name with that account
[17:44] <Myrtti> yes?
[17:47] <zoredache_> and you want to know what it is?
[17:48] <zoredache_> it is usually in the 5th column in the /etc/passwd
[17:48] <Myrtti> or can be seen with finger
[17:51] <jo4> ah, yes, finger works fine.. ty ;
[17:51] <jo4> D
[18:23] <JinKazama> hi all. I there another terminal than xfce4-terminal ?
[18:24] <zoredache> sure, lots.  You can install whatever your favorite is with synatic/apt-get
[18:24] <JinKazama> I mean - already installed ...
[18:24] <zoredache> xterm
[18:25] <JinKazama> exelent :) thanks zoredache :)
[18:26] <excalibas> hello, can someone tell me where are the language settings on xubuntu hardy? I cant seem to find them
[18:27] <cody-somerville> excalibas, Applications > System > Language Support
[18:27] <JinKazama> System > Language Support
[18:27] <Maximilian1st> same here, both are faster.
[18:27] <excalibas> wooo, Its there, thanks a lot Maximilian1st
[18:28] <Maximilian1st> the speed answer winners are cody-somerville and JinKazama, aplause ;-)
[18:28] <JinKazama> :)
[18:28] <cody-somerville> ;]
[18:29] <Maximilian1st> How is your release looking cody-somerville ? I read that the translation freeze is on the 16th
[18:30] <cody-somerville> The release is coming along nicely :) me thinks
[18:31] <excalibas> ups, I mean thanks cody-somerville and JinKazama hehe Im a bit dyslexic
[18:33] <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?
[18:47] <cody-somerville> Maximilian1st, we're working very closely with upstream
[19:07] <oklinux> what is a good dvd burner apps for xfce
[19:12] <bytor4232> oklinux: I use Brasero
[19:12] <bytor4232> oklinux: if your looking for dvd authoring software, devede works pretty good to take an avi and turn it into a dvd.
[19:49] <wattz> hello
[19:50] <knome> hello wattz
[19:52] <wattz> hi
[19:52] <wattz> anyone here ever setup an elo touchscreen on xubuntu?
[19:52] <knome> nope
[19:55] <venome1> not elo, but egalax ...
[19:55] <venome1> wattz: in case you need an advice
[19:55] <wattz> i have it working sorta
[19:56] <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
[19:57] <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
[19:59] <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
[20:00] <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)
[20:01] <venome1> floating: ok, thanks for info, looking forward to the version 2 :)
[20:04] <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
[20:08] <wattz> heh
[20:10] <wattz> venome1: now my regular mouse nor my touch screen is working :(
[20:11] <venome1> whoops ...
[20:12] <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 ?
[20:13] <wattz> got that from my /proc/input/devices
[20:13] <venome1> all right, that's ok
[20:13] <wattz> double checking
[20:15] <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
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <venome1> np
[20:17] <wattz> H: Handlers=mouse1 event1 js0
[20:17] <venome1> ok, so its event1, that one is ok
[20:18] <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
[20:19] <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)
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <venome1> just paste it all, it shouldn't be that long
[20:22] <wattz> http://www.pastie.org/292408
[20:24] <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)
[20:26] <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?
[20:27] <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
[20:28] <wattz> i have so many things installed for this, i should prolly just start over :P
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <venome1> good luck, and bye for now
