| fortunev | Just installed xubuntu, how do I change my screen resolution. I only see default listed | 00:27 |
|---|---|---|
| forces | forces, edit your xorg.conf | 00:28 |
| fortunev | where will I find it? | 00:29 |
| Stroganoff | !resolution | 00:30 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:30 |
| fortunev | thanks | 00:31 |
| SuiDog | Hey there. I tired to join the #ubuntu channel and it said I was banned from that channel. Anyway I'm trying to add a sata card after I install ubuntu. I'm pretty novice at ubuntu. I think I need to add a module but not sure how to do it .. is there a way to autoreconize the hardware? | 01:04 |
| TheSheep | SuiDog: I think you should ask about the ban on #ubuntu-ops | 01:04 |
| SuiDog | ok.. I'll try that | 01:05 |
| SuiDog | how about my other question.. any suggestions? | 01:05 |
| * TheSheep has no idea | 01:06 | |
| Mood | SuiDog: sounds like a driver issue if it's hardware recognition | 01:11 |
| Mood | SuiDog: try lspci to see if you can recognize the sata pci card | 01:11 |
| Mood | SuiDog: then it's off to google to see if others have had problems/solutions for that pci card | 01:11 |
| SuiDog | is there a way to have ubuntu auto reconzie new hardware automatically like during install? | 01:45 |
| investigate_911 | Empathy asks me for my keyring password every time i log on. how do i stop this? | 01:46 |
| genii | Hello. Have been doing some load tests on 8.04 on some older p3 boxes to see whats feasible for hardware. One of the tests involves having 4 apps open from last session during next login (Firefox,Pidgin, Abiword and Thunderbird). Oddly: When ram is 384 or less, Thunderbird won't auto load.When ram is 512 it does. Any ideas why? At 385 still not yet using swap. | 01:56 |
| bad-wire | sorry no idea | 02:14 |
| * bad-wire is a p3 500Mhz with 384MB RAm running ices 0.4 + xchat + darkice when needed | 02:14 | |
| bad-wire | works fine | 02:15 |
| bad-wire | for this, on fluxboix though, xcfe was too heavy for the same usage | 02:15 |
| genii | Yes, it's very odd and perplexing | 02:24 |
| genii | It will still manually load at the other ram sizes OK, just not automatically. I thought htis might be some memory saving feature | 02:25 |
| fortunev | trying to correct my screen resolution with xrandr. What is the default screen output name? | 02:32 |
| genii | 0:0 | 02:33 |
| fortunev | xrandr returned outpt "0:0" not found | 02:34 |
| genii | Try perhaps just :0 | 02:36 |
| fortunev | arrrg ... got the same thing "cannot find output ":0"" | 02:37 |
| fortunev | Im a linux noob. Is there a place where the screen name would be listed? | 02:38 |
| fortunev | genii - sorry for the abrupt drop earlier. lost my screen totally. Figured out the xrandr. Now where do I put the xrandr command so they take affect at logon? | 04:02 |
| fortunev | where should I put xrandr commands so they take affect at startup? | 04:04 |
| fortunev | where should I put xrandr commands so they take affect at startup? | 04:16 |

| GINZ | Hi do we have any geeks awake please? | 09:52 |
| GINZ | I am trying to copy a folder from a USB drive to /var/www | 09:53 |
| GINZ | And cannot see how to do it | 09:53 |
| GINZ | I have Xubuntu 8.10 | 09:53 |
| TheSheep | you need root rights to write to /var/www | 09:55 |
| TheSheep | start thunar with 'gksu thunar' for that | 09:55 |
| GINZ | I use sudo | 09:55 |
| GINZ | but the terminal starts at the user directory at the same level as the removable disk, and I cannot see how to get the terminal to see the removable disk | 09:57 |
| TheSheep | I don't understand | 09:58 |
| GINZ | in Places there are 5 directories, two of them are the user direvctory, and the removable disk | 10:01 |
| GINZ | When I open a terminal it gives a prompt user@(this computer)$ | 10:02 |
| GINZ | and only sees files and folders inside the User directory | 10:03 |
| TheSheep | cd /media/disk | 10:04 |
| GINZ | I am having to reboot as the mouse cursor was not moving | 10:04 |
| GINZ | Last night when I was working on it, and typed "sudo cd /" it told me there was no such command as cd | 10:06 |
| GINZ | but when I did cd without the sudo it was fine | 10:06 |
| SiDi | hi | 10:06 |
| GINZ | TheSheep.. I see the directory I want to copy | 10:12 |
| GINZ | TheSheep. I found a list of terminal commands, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal#File%20&%20Directory%20Commands | 10:47 |
| TheSheep | GINZ: why don't you just use thunar? | 10:48 |
| GINZ | I am new to all this | 10:49 |
| GINZ | do I have thunar? | 10:49 |
| TheSheep | yes, it's the default file manager | 10:51 |
| GINZ | TheSheep You said "start thunar with 'gksu thunar' for that" what would I do after that? | 10:51 |
| GINZ | IS that what I get when I click Places? | 10:52 |
| TheSheep | just navigate to /var/www and dragn-and-drop the files you want? | 10:52 |
| GINZ | In Places I tried drag and drop and the file kept just bouncing back | 10:52 |
| TheSheep | you have to open the otherwindow with 'gksu', so it runs as root | 10:53 |
| blankthemuffin | or give your user ownership of /var/www | 10:54 |
| sinbox | I'm having troubles mounting a sony-ericsson phone, fdisk -l does not show it, but I can see it if I do lsusb, couldn't find anything in the forum about this | 10:54 |
| blankthemuffin | or add your user to the www-data group and change the group permissions of /var/www | 10:54 |
| TheSheep | sinbox: I don't think ericssons are seen as disks | 10:54 |
| TheSheep | sinbox: they use their own protocol for communicating, you will need a special program | 10:55 |
| sinbox | I choose mass storage as thew option when I connected it, it usually auto mounbts when I'm running gnome but right now I am on fluxbox and normally mount usb devices by hand | 10:56 |
| GINZ | Blankthemuffin that sounds a good idea. | 10:56 |
| GINZ | "add your user to the www-data group and change the group permissions of /var/www" can you tell me how please | 10:56 |
| GINZ | Oh I think I remember to add the user etc I need to go into phpmyadmin don;t I | 11:02 |
| sinbox | guess I'll have to log into gnome then :/ | 11:04 |
| LukaszJ | Hello there | 11:58 |
| TheSheep | hello Łukasz | 11:58 |
| LukaszJ | Is installing "kdelibs" packages harmful to not KDE-native distro? | 12:04 |
| knome | LukaszJ, if you use them, your system will be beavier. | 12:09 |
| knome | *heavier | 12:09 |
| LukaszJ | knome: I just do for testing purposes. Remember still my problem with the webcam? | 12:10 |
| LukaszJ | knome: Hello, BTW :) | 12:10 |
| knome | yeah. | 12:10 |
| TheSheep | actually, just installing the libraries will only make it use more disk space, as expected | 12:14 |
| LukaszJ | TheSheep: No other problems then? | 12:15 |
| TheSheep | running continously a program that uses them will use some ram, also as expected | 12:15 |
| TheSheep | I think some of the kde services start when needed and keep running afterwards | 12:16 |
| TheSheep | so that also can affect performance a little, especially if you're low on ram | 12:16 |
| LukaszJ | I just ran kopete to test my webcam out, it's not so bad after all. | 12:17 |

| InvaderZim | all: anybody know about running some sort of xubuntu on an original xbox? all the tutorials and info i find on the internet is so vague | 19:46 |
| InvaderZim | all: I'm really interested in being able to buy a little machine for $50 bucks, spend some time with it and run linux. anybody know anything? | 19:53 |
| vinnl | I suppose you'll want to look for second-hand machines | 19:53 |

| whatev | someone sent me a file called foo.xml.pgp and their public key called foo.asc. i imported their foo.asc into my gpg keyring but when i try to decrypt the file with gpg --decrypt foo.xml.pgp i get an error 'gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key ... decryption failed: secret key not available'. any ideas? | 19:54 |
| rocko | best to contact them about it through their mailing list email address talk@freegeekchicago.org InvaderZim | 19:55 |
| InvaderZim | rocko: cool link! but i kind of wanted to do it myself. i'm new to computers, and to linux especially. it sounded like fun to go to gamestop, plunk down $50 and then take it home and load my own OS and stuff | 19:58 |
| fbc | How do you browse the local network with xubuntu? | 20:00 |
| vinnl | You'd have to install an app for that - I believe a lot of people use pyNeighborhood | 20:01 |
| fbc | vinnl, thanks, I will try to get that installed. I like how quick and lite xfce is on my laptop.. I can probably get about 2-3 years out of it now. | 20:02 |
| vinnl | ^.^ | 20:02 |
| rocko | I see InvaderZim | 20:21 |
| InvaderZim | rocko: yeah, I'm an excited noob. I've been looking around some more and some people say gentoox is better. but it needs to be a modded xbox. don't know if that means hard modded or soft modded | 20:24 |
