[00:26] saluton [00:53] I just installed Xubuntu, but all colors are kind of fucked up. I was thinking maybe I just need to reinstall a vga driver. How do I fix this? [00:54] hello, I have a dvd on my drive but it doesnt show in thunar, how can i see what is inside? [00:54] Wips, just edit you xorg.conf [00:54] !xorg [00:54] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [00:55] excalibas, you can mount it manual [00:55] sudo mount /dev/xxx /something [00:56] forces, how can i find the name? i think is scd0 [00:57] forces: Well, thank you. But how and what do I edit? [00:58] Wips, read the wiki, ubottu say it [01:00] * forces is using lxde in him acer aspire one [01:00] :P [01:05] forces, I feel like i kind of fail at this xconf thing.. the page doesnt give me anything.. It's only about resolutions but I can't see anything about drivers or whatever I need [01:06] hmm [02:19] !mount [02:19] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [02:19] !nvidia [02:19] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:19] !ntfs [02:19] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [02:20] !NTFS-3g [02:20] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [02:20] lol, If i have troubles doing this, I might need your guys's help =X [02:29] I'm having a really hard time trying to install a nvidia-driver on my laptop, why is that so damn hard? What is it I have to do? [02:50] Hallo [02:51] hello andy__ [02:51] I'm burning Xubuntu 8.10 alternate install i386 to CD to install on a 1/2 GHZ PIII w/256 MiB RAM & 20 GB HD..... ^_^ [02:52] 5 seconds..... [02:52] 4 [02:52] 3 [02:52] 2 [02:52] 1 [02:52] COASTER! [02:52] lol j/k [02:52] Xubuntu seems to like Pentium III boxen, though yours could benefit from 100% more RAM [02:53] lol I know! Wasn't quite able to install Linux Mint 6 on it -- it belongs to a friend. [02:54] I should order more RAM for my Pentium III [02:54] ...probably. [02:54] I have a PIII 566mhz 512mb RAM downstairs (this dual-core Opteron @2.5 o.c. w/8gb) [02:54] RAM is way cheap right now, ball; $10/GB for PC100 IIRC [02:56] Nice; idk xubuntu has html manual on cd [02:56] I lost my job though, so computer spending is way down on the list. [02:57] lol I unemployed 2!!!!!11!1!111!!11! shitty economy worst layoffs since great depression [02:57] sigh, how hard can it be to get a nvidia driver for my xubuntu 8.10 :( seems like nothing works [02:57] andy__: where are you? [02:58] Wips: I installed on an nVidia machine yesterday. [02:58] CT, 90 minutes from NYC [02:59] ball: Well... [03:01] anddy__ Looks like US$ 30 for 256M of PC100 ECC [03:02] O,.o! [03:03] well nvm; go look on the side of the road in a lower-income neighborhood for somebody's old computer on the curb for the garbagemen (often during an eviction or permanently quitting irl) [03:03] So US$ 90 would get me 768M [03:03] Yeah, or $390 could get you a brand new system with 4GB. [03:03] * ball nods [03:03] ...and probably a spare core and lower power consumption. [03:04] Ah, the future; it's getting here every day! [03:04] No way I can come up with US$ 390 [03:04] Leik I said, just gut an old throwaway computer on the side of the road or in a dumpster. You live near a city or heavily housed neighborhood? [03:05] andy__: sort of. [03:05] Colleges ftw -- graduating students moving out i nthe spring will practically give their old hardware away (if you help them move) or you can buy it for little. [03:07] * ball nods [03:08] I should wait. Once I find work I can save up for a mainboard + RAM, or perhaps even something with the CPU soldered. [03:09] Find work? Make work! Read about this guy who founded plentyoffish.com? It's a FREE dating site that's passed Alexa and True in membership iirc, and has no employees, yet he gets million dollar checks from google adsense. [03:09] http://plentyoffish.wordpress.com/ [03:10] What are minimal system requirements for Xubuntu Alternate Install? [03:12] andy__: Google Adsense works then [03:12] ? [03:12] andy__: probably the machine that's in front of you. [03:13] lol was browsing. [03:13] #nod [03:14] #howdoemote? [03:14] * ball suggests /me [03:14] * andy__ lol [03:14] Hmm....they're making a live action Cowboy Beebop movie, staring.....Keeanu Reeves. [03:16] hello dsmith_ [03:16] hi [03:21] RAM is like $8 a gig [03:21] are you serious? [03:21] :P [03:21] DaemonXP: who? [03:21] hello The-Kernel [03:22] hello ball [03:57] sorry [03:57] just got out of the shower [03:57] that was for you ball [03:59] DaemonXP: I should probably keep the US$ 90 and put it towards a new mainboard. [04:01] newegg ftw! [04:08] andy__: Not sure whether to buy a board for one of the chips I have now, or buy a new board and a new chip. [04:11] anyone have any exp in the manual config of xorg.conf on the new xubuntu 8.10? [04:12] i need to set the video driver manually, but for some reason the xorg.conf file seems to have nothing in it [04:54] How do I keep the network manager from over writting my resolv.conf ? [04:56] Also, is there a way to run a script when the network is becomes available? [05:27] where is the menu config located for xubuntu? [05:30] anyone? [05:45] I had wine installed, then I removed it but some of the applications I installed are still in the "Other" tab in my menu.... anyone know how I can remove these? [07:55] hello anyone here? [08:02] O__o: hi [08:03] hi [08:03] do u know how to setup vnc server in xubuntu? [08:03] nope [08:06] i want to burn a file onto a dvd. i insert empty dvd. where is it located? [08:06] (not using xfce, but terminal) [08:08] owen1: probably at /dev/dvd or /dev/dvdrw or /dev/dvdrw1 or so [08:08] but that is probably not what you meant [08:09] to burn using the terminal, I think wodim comes shipped with Xubuntu [08:09] O__o: you were here asking about that already yesterday, yes? [08:09] gabkdlly: i see /dev/dvd but it's not a folder [08:09] yes i did [08:09] but i still cant get it to work [08:09] owen1: yes, it is not a regular file, nor a regular folder [08:10] O__o: did you try the wiki, forums, and so on? [08:10] i try many things [08:10] sometimes i goto forum i only understand half the steps [08:11] then when i stuck i sont know what to do [08:11] is there a simple way that always work? [08:11] gabkdlly: cdrecord -v speed=24 dev=/dev/dvd test.avi but i get : wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits.scsidev: '/dev/dvd' [08:12] sometimes the forum gives me the command to run but i dont know i should run it in the server or client? [08:13] and i try everything i could [08:13] gabkdlly: i added sudo, and now i get: wodim: No disk / Wrong disk! [08:13] if there is any user here using ssh+vnc please give me a hint here [08:13] owen1: I am guessing you only have 1 dvd drive, and it is writable [08:14] gabkdlly: DVD Writer 300n [08:14] owen1: doesn't wodim by default expect that you give it an iso file? [08:14] gabkdlly: no idea. [08:15] owen1: check the man page [08:15] gabkdlly: i just want a data dvd [08:15] gabkdlly: no need for iso [08:15] owen1: but if you want just one file, I think it is going to be tricky [08:15] owen1: using Brasero or K3b would be much easier, I think [08:16] gabkdlly: i get error when trying to install brasero [08:16] gabkdlly: i'll try again. [08:17] O__o: someone already pointed you to the VNC help topic on ubuntu.com? [08:17] gabkdlly: i am trying to stay away from gui apps, that's why my first option will be to find text-based apps. [08:17] i follow the steps there and dont work [08:17] maybe i am missing something [08:24] O__o: once you have read all the documentation you can, and have made yourself as smart about the process as you feel you can on your own, try asking the experts at #vnc , and remember that you have to be patient with irc, people are often doing other things [08:25] i am patient i am wating some expert jumps on here [08:25] maybe i didnt setup the vnc? [08:26] i install it but the tutorial didnt really give detail how to run the server [08:27] O__o: I think once you have the server installed, it will auto-start [08:27] O__o: check with: ps -ef | grep vnc [08:27] nothing there [08:28] do u knwo what i should run ? [08:28] O__o: which server did you install? [08:28] do i run this in client or server? ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@machine ? [08:28] i dont know i pretty install everything in diff tutorials [08:29] in the server , i install x11vnc, vncserver, xtightvncviewer, vncviewer, ssh [08:29] openssh-server [08:29] all that stuffs [08:29] O__o: I don't know, I am not the expert you are looking for, I am just trying to give helpful hints :) [08:29] at the end i always get coneection refused [08:30] O__o: did you open the necessary ports? [08:30] in where? [08:30] server or client? [08:30] O__o: on the server [08:30] i am within a network here [08:30] at home [08:30] i think i dont need to open any port [08:31] O__o: is the server behind a firewall? [08:31] no [08:31] i think i dont have vnc server running in process [08:31] i dont know how to run the server [08:31] O__o: what is the server running, operating system wise? [08:31] xubuntu [08:31] which release? [08:31] none are running i guess? [08:31] newest [08:32] i installed ubuntu 8.10 in the server first [08:32] newest xubuntu comes with a firewall [08:32] then installed the xubuntu-desktop [08:32] now running xubuntu [08:32] in ubuntu i can run remote desktop and i can connect to it from other computer [08:33] huh? [08:33] but when the server is in xubuntu session i cant use remote desktop because there is none [08:33] basically i installed ubuntu and xubuntu in the server here [08:34] you have already made a successful connection under ubuntu? then you are probably smarter than me where vnc is concerned :) [08:34] in ubuntu i can run remote desktop, in xubuntu i cant get it to run [08:34] you can log into ubuntu, and check what programs it has running with "ps -ef" [08:37] or "ps -ef | grep vnc" to get just items containing the string "vnc" [08:38] dont have any [08:39] O__o: I have to leave pretty soon [08:39] ic [08:39] i need to run x11vnc in the server? [08:39] O__o: but you are already smarter than me :) [08:40] i thought sudo apt-get install x11vnc will take care of that [08:40] I would think so too [08:40] well no one explain it to me on forum [08:40] i am new to this so i dont know [08:40] now i get vnc to work [08:40] but how to combine it to ssh i am still googleing [08:40] on forums, you also have to have patience, plus keep an eye out to threads that are already adressing your issue [08:41] !vnc [08:41] 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 [08:41] basically the terms they use there are pretty technical for me [08:41] i dont understand any of those sometimes [08:43] bye [08:43] thx bye [09:35] I am not able to play gl-117 it goes not allow me to click on any thing but I can move the cursor it will only allow me to click yes for quit after I type esc here is its output http://pastebin.ca/raw/1322633 [09:36] it seems to be selecting the wrong driver for 3d acceleration [09:36] I have a graphics card that only gets 3d acceleration from open source drivers only [09:37] I would assume this is means the r300 driver ati raedon "r300_render.c" [09:37] which I do not use [09:37] I have a ati raedon express 200m graphics card [09:37] y do u have a driver for a diff grfx card [09:38] rocko: I have a 200m, the regular radeon driver that comes with X should do fine on that [09:39] that is what I said DaemonXP [09:39] that is what I meant by the open source ones [09:39] what I am saying is that it looks like gl-117 is trying to use a driver [09:39] look at my pastebin above [09:40] what I am saying is that it looks like gl-117 is trying to use a *different driver [09:40] I did a recompile on gl-117 and that seem to not solve the problem [09:40] I have gone recompiles on other games and it fixed their problems [09:40] like with zsnes [09:41] after I did a recompile it did not crash any more :d [09:41] on start up [09:42] I did the both recompiles the debian way [09:43] with "sudo apt-get build-dep nameofpackage" then "sudo apt-get -b source nameofpackage" "sudo dpkg -i nameofpackage.deb" [09:44] does gl-117 work for you DaemonXP ? [09:45] 200m did not have 3d accel in the past if you never used it in the past it was because of ubuntu sponsoring a dev to fix the problem with a laptop that had the 200m graphics crad [09:47] DaemonXP what resolution is your monitor ? [09:47] my res is 1280X768 [09:47] maybe that is the problem [09:49] hello [09:50] can anyone give me some links on which i can download some cool stuffs for my xfce look [09:51] so? [09:51] anyone? [09:52] xfce-look.org? [09:52] i've been there, but.... it's not what i'm looking for [09:53] thx [09:57] gnome-look.org then? [09:57] ok. thx [09:57] one more little question.... can i use emerald if i don't have compiz? [09:57] "cool stuffs" isn't that clear on what you're really asking [09:58] what u mean? [09:58] i'm not very good in english....i'm from croatia [09:59] so? can i use emerald if i don't have compiz? [09:59] I don't think it is possible caspix [10:00] :( [10:00] maybe if you use fusion-icon maybe [10:00] it has setting in there to change gtk to emerald [10:00] it does not require compiz I believe [10:00] ok. thx [10:01] I do not use that any more though [10:01] why? [10:01] because compiz and 3d desktops just use to much resources [10:01] i like my machine to be fast [10:01] yea, i know....that's why i don't use compiz [10:01] i know what u mean [10:02] but this ordinary xfce theme is starting to be boring...so i want a little bit changes [10:02] I am using lxde now [10:02] why not just change the theme [10:02] in settings [10:03] the ones who r already installed r not so good [10:03] you can install more [10:03] from xfce-look.org and gnome-look.org [10:03] or any other gtk them place [10:04] i don't use my machine now so much bcoz of school and living in students home, so i'd like it look nice when i have time to use it [10:04] I see [10:04] thats the first thing i do that and mouse [10:04] you should get portableapps [10:04] cursor theme [10:05] since it sounds like you do not have a laptop caspix [10:05] portableapps is nice it works in wine [10:06] so if you come across a linux or windows machine it should work on both platforms [10:06] yes, i'm working only on my laptop here in zagreb, at home i have pc...but it's fucked up...i don't know what i'll do with it... [10:06] providing that wine is install [10:06] i hate blows (windows) [10:06] how is it messed up [10:06] winblows [10:06] yeah windows sucks [10:06] ;) [10:06] do you use command line [10:06] i'll never have it on my machine anymore! [10:07] wich comand line? [10:07] I do not like windows command line it sucks too [10:07] you know terminal linux windows cmd [10:07] i don't use windblows about an year [10:07] I have had linux on my machine for 3 years I think [10:08] had? and now? [10:08] yes now [10:08] oh, ok [10:08] is english your first language caspix ? [10:09] no [10:09] croatian is [10:09] I see [10:09] i'm learning english 6 years in school [10:09] interesting [10:10] that makes me automatically think esperanto [10:10] but i dont' know esperanto.... [10:10] omfg noone makes some army-green themes... [10:11] because they say that you will be at the same level of understanding of 6 years of studying a natural language with g months of studying Esperanto [10:12] -g *6 [10:13] yeah i found one green theme! :) [10:14] do i need to have graphic card driver to use emerald themes? [10:15] why i can't download this theme... [10:16] i wish i can remember where i downloaded my green theme for my pc long time ago... [10:17] i can't believe this...- [10:19] believe what [10:19] caspix [10:19] that everyone makes blue or black themes and almost noone green ones....and when i found some green, i can't download it [10:20] thanks for the help i finally can ssh+vnc into my server, thanks for whoeva helps me here :) [10:20] http://i44.tinypic.com/rh319u.jpg :) [10:21] he isnt here [10:21] YES YES i found one i can download! [10:22] cool [10:22] where i should extract that theme? [10:22] it's not emerald [10:22] caspix from what country are you? [10:22] croatia [10:22] why? [10:22] just wondering [10:22] ;) [10:24] it is near some countries where one of my friends knows people from there caspix [10:24] via Esperanto [10:24] nice [10:24] from where r u? [10:24] USA [10:25] it is really early here right now though [10:25] I got up 2 am [10:25] it is now 4 am [10:25] because I went to bed really early [10:25] I guess [10:25] whou..... here is 11:25 [10:25] you use 24 hour time caspix ? [10:26] I know germany goes [10:26] yes [10:26] hi guys, are you guys expert in xubuntu? [10:26] wow this theme is gr8! [10:26] :D [10:26] i just need to change icons and window-look [10:26] so that it matches [10:26] well, i'm not expert, but i use it a year [10:26] what is the link [10:27] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Deep+Green?content=80841 [10:27] i think i've got this one on my pc long time ago... [10:28] the deep green is too windows [10:28] the icon pack is the same as mine [10:28] osx icon package [10:28] for me it's not too windblows [10:28] winblows uses a blue theme [10:28] it is like win vista + xp [10:29] not a green them [10:29] i mean the buttons and window bolder [10:29] oh fuck...theres no any green theme in window manager.... [10:29] check out mine [10:29] i don't have deep green window border [10:29] http://i44.tinypic.com/rh319u.jpg [10:29] it is green [10:30] caspix: mind your language [10:30] that's too mac os x... [10:30] ? [10:30] what that should mean? if u translate that on my lang. it doesn't have any sence [10:30] caspix: don't swear [10:31] hehe [10:31] a? [10:31] is there vnc server in xubuntu? [10:31] I know what you mean caspix :D [10:31] anyway, where i can download window border? [10:32] download window border? [10:32] yes...these thing in window manager [10:32] i like this one: http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/80841-1.jpg [10:32] every language does not always have a direct translation with its words into another language caspix [10:32] i usually download the whole theme [10:32] like with cxu in Esperanto [10:33] so I see the problem [10:33] rocko: i know but i don't know all translations of your languages words...i know u have 10 meanings for one word... [10:34] O__o how u mean the whole theme? [10:34] well with some words yes [10:34] i download what it has to download [10:34] like with free it can mean to different things [10:34] *two [10:34] as far as I know it means gratis and freedom [10:35] yes [10:35] gratis is another word in the english language that means at no price [10:35] yea [10:35] that is why free software in English is confusing [10:35] because it is unclear of its meaning [10:36] it can mean ether free as in freedom or as in price [10:36] yea [10:36] in other languages like Spanish you do not have that problem [10:36] i know...but here there's no mistakes.... we say slobodan softver [10:36] because the word for free in their language does not also mean freedom [10:37] and it (slobodan) has only one meaning.... [10:37] and priceless is : besplatan [10:37] download the theme [10:37] i did [10:37] http://gnome-look.org [10:37] i downloaded it [10:38] which one? [10:38] r u using ubuntu? or xubuntu? [10:38] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Deep+Green?content=80841 [10:38] xubuntu [10:38] i think some theme apply to ubuntu only maybe? [10:39] like GTK2.x theme [10:39] but it works here, too [10:39] ok [10:39] so what is missing? [10:39] but only thing that i don't have these windows frames green... [10:39] maybe u need gnome [10:39] xubuntu runs xfce [10:40] i know [10:40] but everything but this works just fine....and i really like this theme [10:40] so caspix how are you doing? [10:40] which theme? deep green? [10:41]
