| gnx_ | anyone awake able to possibly help me figure out this screensaver problem? | 01:28 |
|---|---|---|
| cody-somerville | sure | 01:31 |
| gnx_ | i just installed xubuntu, first time using this distro, im on an old 600mhz celeron with 256mb ram | 01:31 |
| gnx_ | pretty satisfied thus far, but i wanted to disable the screensaver, and in the process i clicked on one to preview it but it locks up or makes my display unusable | 01:32 |
| gnx_ | and everytime i try to go back to disable it, it has that screensaver, selected...and so i cant even go to the screensaver settings dialog without a problem now | 01:33 |
| gnx_ | is there a file somewhere i can edit? | 01:33 |

| samsabra | hello | 05:30 |
| samsabra | can I run Xubuntu on an old Fujistu laptop P2 366Mhz with 94MB of RAM? | 05:30 |
| forces | samsabra, yes | 05:32 |
| forces | but not live cd | 05:32 |
| forces | you must install with alternative cd | 05:32 |
| samsabra | the website says: Once installed, Xubuntu can run with starting from 192 (or even just 128) MB RAM, but it is strongly recommended to have at least 256 MB RAM. | 05:33 |
| samsabra | can I actually use it with 64MB of ram after install? | 05:33 |
| samsabra | lol | 05:33 |
| forces | samsabra, yes | 05:35 |
| forces | samsabra, use xubuntu 8.04 LTS | 05:36 |
| samsabra | cool, thanks | 05:36 |
| forces | its more stable | 05:36 |
| samsabra | thanks and have a great day | 05:38 |
| XNMNK | hello | 07:00 |
| XNMNK | I'm trying to install xubuntu 8.10 from a usb-stick | 07:01 |
| XNMNK | and have a problem | 07:01 |
| XNMNK | my notebook has no cd-rom, but installer wants to find it | 07:02 |
| XNMNK | i've tried to mount a fake cd-rom from a console but installer says it can't read files from it | 07:03 |
| zoredache | what method did you use to prepare your usb stick? | 07:06 |
| XNMNK | unetbootin 3.19 | 07:12 |
| zoredache | hrm... I have never used that. I usually just write the hd net-boot image to a usb disk. | 07:16 |
| zoredache | The drawback is, that you must have a wired network card that is supported by the kernel, and you have to wipe the contents of the usb key. | 07:17 |
| XNMNK | tried another way of creating usb-stick: made it bootable with syslinux and put vmlinuz, initrd.gz, syslinux.cfg and *.iso | 07:40 |
| XNMNK | same problem - "failed to copy a file" | 07:41 |
| knome | XNMNK, have you tried the usb-creator? | 07:41 |
| XNMNK | nope. I'm under windows now. I've tried to put live-cd on the stick. it boots and works well but can't install itself on hard drive | 07:44 |
| knome | XNMNK, please use the usb creator, if you explicitly need to install from usb | 07:47 |
| vargo | hi | 07:48 |
| vargo | how can i install xfce 4.6 on xubuntu? | 07:48 |
| XNMNK | knome: will try | 07:49 |
| knome | vargo, xfce 4.6 will be by default on jaunty. there is some ppa's for intrepid but i'm not sure if any of them has 4.6 final | 07:50 |
| vargo | i added launchpad repisotory | 07:51 |
| vargo | i got 4.591 beta | 07:51 |
| vargo | got little bit frustrated :( | 07:51 |
| knome | jaunty will be out in a month | 07:51 |
| vargo | do u think amarok 2.0 is bundled too? | 07:52 |
| knome | it is in the junaty repos, yes. | 07:52 |
| knome | *jaunty | 07:52 |
| vargo | alright, thanks | 07:53 |
| MoonTiger | hi :) | 09:58 |
| Shooree | is the Settings Manager>Autostarted apps the only way to execute autostart stuff? I can't seem to make this work for manual entries, not even to startup conky with an initial sleep period. Where can I go wrong with it? | 10:47 |
| MoonTiger | you can add a link in the startup folders to a script / app | 11:05 |
| vojacekj_ | hi, i have problems with genius g-pen 450 under xubuntu 8.10 can someone help me? | 11:50 |
| Slonkie | How do i connect to one of my windows shares? | 12:24 |
| Slonkie | Should i use samba? | 12:24 |
| vinnl | !pyneighborhood | 12:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pyneighborhood | 12:24 |
| vinnl | Hmm... I don't really either, except that that supposedly allows you to do that ;-) | 12:25 |
| vinnl | And I also just installed thunar-shares-plugin, but it looks like that only allows you to share your own folders | 12:25 |
| Slonkie | so it finds my PC, but fails to mount my folder | 12:27 |
| Slonkie | pyneighborhood that is :P | 12:27 |
| vinnl | Slonkie, hmm, you might need to read this post first: http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2007/02/easy-samba-browsing-with-xubuntu-feisty.html | 12:29 |
| Slonkie | That dident help :( | 12:32 |
| vinnl | Then I don't know what to do either... If I ever get myself a laptop I might set this up for myself, but until then, I've got zero experience with home networking... | 12:33 |
| Slonkie | all right | 12:33 |
| Slonkie | Thanks anyway :p | 12:33 |
| vinnl | No problem :P | 12:34 |
| Dillizar | if i install compiz and other effects how heavier will the xubuntu be | 12:51 |
| vinnl | In what units? ;-) | 12:52 |
| Dillizar | vinnl, that question was for me ?? | 12:53 |
| vinnl | Dillizar, yes | 12:53 |
| Dillizar | dunno | 12:53 |
| Dillizar | will it ask more ram ? | 12:53 |
| Dillizar | or more cpu | 12:53 |
| vinnl | Yes, both | 12:54 |
| Dillizar | DAMN | 12:54 |
| Dillizar | a lot more?? :) | 12:54 |
| vinnl | Well, you can expect that, it's just another piece of software you're running, and obviously heavier than the low-on-effects-window managers | 12:54 |
| vinnl | Not *that* much | 12:54 |
| vinnl | I don't know how much you can miss :P | 12:54 |
| Dillizar | hmmm | 12:56 |
| Dillizar | damn | 12:56 |
| Dillizar | vinnl, tell me is xfce based on gnome ? | 12:56 |
| vinnl | Dillizar, no... But it has some parts in common and Xubuntu also ships GNOME parts to complement Xfce | 12:57 |
| Dillizar | so its not striped GNOME | 12:57 |
| vinnl | No, definitely not | 12:58 |
| Dillizar | k | 12:58 |
| Dillizar | cuz i was choosing between xfce and lxde and xfce looks like gnome and lxde looks like KDE | 12:59 |
| vinnl | Well... You shouldn't really judge them like that. I'd recommend you to just try both, as they're both free of charge ;-) | 13:00 |
| Dillizar | lol not to me | 13:00 |
| Dillizar | :) | 13:00 |
| vinnl | Why's that? | 13:00 |
| Dillizar | i have limit of 25gb per month | 13:00 |
| Dillizar | to download :) | 13:01 |
| vinnl | Ah | 13:01 |
| vinnl | Hmm yeah, that's a bummer | 13:01 |
| Dillizar | :P | 13:01 |
| Dillizar | i have another alternative | 13:01 |
| Dillizar | but i need to wait 3months | 13:01 |
| Dillizar | any who i have 9.04 | 13:01 |
| Dillizar | ubuntu and the install xfce | 13:02 |
| Dillizar | :P | 13:02 |
| Besogon | Does anybody know about writing a formula in ABIWORD? (If you undestand me) | 13:10 |
| vinnl | I believe you could use LaTeX for that | 13:10 |
| vinnl | Ah, and also MathML | 13:11 |
| vinnl | See Insert->Equation | 13:11 |
| Besogon | Shoud I install it before? | 13:12 |
| vinnl | I believe if you have Abiword you don't need to install anything to be able to use LaTeX | 13:13 |
| Besogon | vinnl, where can I past a image? | 13:18 |
| vinnl | !imagebin | 13:18 |
| ubottu | Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add and link it from the channel. | 13:19 |
| vinnl | :) | 13:19 |
| Besogon | vinnl, http://imagebin.org/42279 look at that. So I havnt help for LateX. (and I cant work with it) | 13:22 |
| vinnl | Yeah you need to know how to use LaTeX, it doesn't have a graphical way of clicking them together... I managed to do it a while ago by Googling the specific signs I needed to know. There might be another utilllity that allows you to click together LaTeX formulas though | 13:24 |
| vinnl | !latex | 13:24 |
| ubottu | tex is a language for describing a document, commonly used especially for scientific publishing. Information and instructions for installing TeX and other related packages can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX | 13:24 |
| Besogon | O my got. Why is it so difficalt in linux way... but , thanks whether or no | 13:29 |
| vinnl | Well, that's Abiword | 13:30 |
| vinnl | You can't really blame Linux in general for that... Perhaps OpenOffice.org has a better interface | 13:31 |
| Besogon | vinnl, I know that. But I have just interest about abiword. (Really I need use only MS word in my university) | 13:34 |
| vinnl | Besogon, if you have a license for MS Word, you can use that on Xubuntu. Not that easy, but not really difficult either | 13:34 |
| vinnl | If it's *really* necessary, that's always an option ;-) | 13:35 |
| Besogon | I havnt a license MS Word, but I'm still using it. :)) (MS office XP). | 13:37 |
| vinnl | Obviously, I'm going to say here you shouldn't :) | 13:39 |
| Besogon | and MS equation 3.0 is terrible. That is not my fault. | 13:40 |
| Besogon | vinnl, And I tell you, that almost all Russia not use a license software. :) | 13:45 |
| vinnl | That doesn't justify it ;-) | 13:45 |
| vinnl | Besogon, anyway, I just found the KFormula application which appears to allow you to click together a formula and export it to LaTeX, which you could then use in Abiword :) | 13:46 |
| Besogon | great | 13:46 |
| Besogon | thanks again. I will remember that. I going to vacuum my room. | 13:48 |
| vinnl | Have fun :P | 13:48 |
| vojacekj | hi everyone | 13:49 |

| vojacekj | can someone help me? | 13:51 |
| vinnl | What kind of a device is it? | 13:52 |
| vojacekj | it tablet | 13:52 |
| vinnl | !tablet | 13:52 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tablet | 13:52 |
| vojacekj | ok thanks | 13:53 |
| vojacekj | and don't you know someone who know something about it? | 13:53 |
| vinnl | ubottu is just a bot, I was querying its fact database to see if there was anything on tables on it ;-) | 13:54 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:54 |
| vinnl | See? ;-) | 13:54 |
| vinnl | Anyway, I don't know anything about tablets, but this page might be of help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetup | 13:54 |
| vojacekj | thanks i will see it | 13:55 |
| noob_M | helo | 14:16 |
| vinnl | Hey | 14:16 |
| noob_M | i want to learn xubuntu | 14:16 |
| noob_M | where do i start? | 14:16 |
| noob_M | i have no knowledge on linux | 14:17 |
| noob_M | :( | 14:17 |
| vinnl | noob_M, there's excellent documentation included in Xubuntu | 14:17 |
| vinnl | Have you already installed it? | 14:17 |
| noob_M | im downloading | 14:17 |
| noob_M | 3$ | 14:17 |
| noob_M | 3% | 14:17 |
| noob_M | hehehe | 14:17 |
| noob_M | what is the basic command for linux? | 14:17 |
| vinnl | What do you mean with "basic command"? | 14:17 |
| noob_M | you type on the terminal | 14:18 |
| vinnl | Why would you do that? | 14:18 |
| noob_M | no need? | 14:18 |
| vinnl | Nope | 14:18 |
| noob_M | i thought terminal is for installation? | 14:18 |
| noob_M | instal plugin? configure? | 14:18 |
| gorgut | xubuntu install is graphical | 14:19 |
| noob_M | ic | 14:19 |
| noob_M | like windows? | 14:19 |
| vinnl | No, when you use the Desktop CD, you run a kind of test version of Xubuntu from that CD, and you can then double-click the "Install" icon on the desktop to start the installation | 14:19 |
| vinnl | So that's a bit different from (easier than :) Windows | 14:19 |
| noob_M | ic | 14:19 |
| noob_M | i can install xubuntun on windows? | 14:20 |
| noob_M | or clean installation? | 14:20 |
| vinnl | I'd go for a clean installation | 14:20 |
| noob_M | boot from cd? | 14:20 |
| noob_M | sample i got windows on the hard drive | 14:20 |
| vinnl | Yes, you insert the CD-ROM in your CD-ROM-drive, then restart your computer | 14:20 |
| noob_M | i want to put xubuntu | 14:20 |
| vinnl | Do you want to keep Windows? | 14:20 |
| noob_M | nope | 14:20 |
| noob_M | delete windows | 14:20 |
| vinnl | Great, that's easiest :) | 14:20 |
| noob_M | install fresh copy of xubuntu? | 14:21 |
| vinnl | Yes | 14:21 |
| vinnl | What file exactly are you downloading? | 14:21 |
| noob_M | xubuntux-8.10desktop-386.iso | 14:21 |
| noob_M | my processor is single core | 14:21 |
| noob_M | sempron 1.6 | 14:21 |
| noob_M | i dont need 64bit xubuntu? | 14:22 |
| vinnl | OK, do you know how to burn that to a CD? | 14:22 |
| noob_M | yes | 14:22 |
| vinnl | I don't think so | 14:22 |
| noob_M | ok | 14:22 |
| vinnl | Great, if you do that, you'll just need to insert that in the drive and reboot the computer, then it'll mostly speak for itself | 14:22 |
| noob_M | ic | 14:22 |
| noob_M | what is the diference between ubuntu and xbuntu? | 14:23 |
| sancas | noob_M, the diference is that xfce use ar xfce and ubuntu use gnome | 14:23 |
| sancas | xfce is more for pc low | 14:24 |
| vinnl | Well, they mostly come with a whole different standard selection of software and themes, but you'll be able to install everything you install in one in the other as well | 14:24 |
| sancas | gnome thats ritgh for new pcs | 14:24 |
| sancas | *slow | 14:24 |
| noob_M | a ok | 14:24 |
| noob_M | the interface is still the same? | 14:24 |
| vinnl | No | 14:25 |
| noob_M | feature no same too? | 14:25 |
| noob_M | i heard counterstrike can play on linux | 14:25 |
| vinnl | Nope, but if you miss a feature in Xubuntu that is in Ubuntu you *can* install that afterwards :) | 14:25 |
| noob_M | cs can play on xubuntu? | 14:25 |
| noob_M | oic | 14:25 |
| vinnl | Probably, let me check (not that easy though) | 14:25 |
| noob_M | it comes on the basic? | 14:25 |
| noob_M | i can add features from ubuntu? | 14:26 |
| vinnl | Ah, yes, you can play CS | 14:26 |
| vinnl | And yes, sort of ;-) | 14:26 |
| noob_M | i want to learn how to manage files on linux | 14:26 |
| noob_M | i notice no file extension on linux? | 14:26 |
| noob_M | sample exe, com, jpg? | 14:27 |
| noob_M | dll | 14:27 |
| noob_M | dll files | 14:27 |
| vinnl | Often files do have a file extension but in theory it's not necessary | 14:27 |
| noob_M | how can i distinguish each files? | 14:27 |
| noob_M | i only heard linux | 14:27 |
| noob_M | but never tried to use it | 14:27 |
| noob_M | hehe | 14:27 |
| vinnl | dll files are only sometimes needed if you're trying to run Windows stuff, but that's quite advanced | 14:27 |
| vinnl | Heh, you distinguish between them just as in Windows: looking at the icons ;-) | 14:28 |
| noob_M | what is the icon of system files in linux? | 14:28 |
| vinnl | What do you mean by system files? | 14:28 |
| noob_M | like windows | 14:28 |
| noob_M | in windows is in on the folder c:windows | 14:29 |
| vinnl | What do you do with system files in Windows? | 14:29 |
| noob_M | how about in linux? | 14:29 |
| vinnl | Ah, well... | 14:29 |
| Pho75 | Hi all. I'm playing with xfce 4.4. Does anyone know why thunar doesn't obey the gtk theme as far as the scrollbar goes. I personally can't stand any gtk theme that prevents me from using the right edge of my screen to control the scrollbar, but no matter what theme i choose, thunar keeps that stupid thick-ass border. is there some hidden config option somewhere I can use to make the... | 14:29 |
| Pho75 | ...thickness 0 or are u stuck with it? i'd love to replace nautilus but that border is always a deal-breaker for me with any app/theme. | 14:29 |
| vinnl | In Linux, there's no different "C:" and "D:" and whatnot drives | 14:29 |
| noob_M | ha? | 14:30 |
| vinnl | It's just all under "/", so you got for example "/tmp" for temporary files, "/home/vincent" for my user account | 14:30 |
| vinnl | You'll mostly be concerned with the files in your user account | 14:30 |
| noob_M | ic | 14:30 |
| === gorgut is now known as gorgut_ | ||
| noob_M | u type in on the terminal window? | 14:30 |
| === gorgut_ is now known as gorgut | ||
| vinnl | No | 14:31 |
| noob_M | where/ | 14:31 |
| vinnl | You really don't need the terminal as much as you think | 14:31 |
| noob_M | oic | 14:31 |
| vinnl | They're on your desktop, for example :) | 14:31 |
| noob_M | i want to play on the terminal window | 14:31 |
| noob_M | browse files on linux | 14:31 |
| noob_M | hehe | 14:32 |
| vinnl | noob_M, look, this is how you browse files in Xubuntu: http://thunar.xfce.org/images/filewindow-1.png | 14:32 |
| noob_M | what is m4 file extension? | 14:33 |
| vinnl | No idea | 14:33 |
| noob_M | ok | 14:33 |
| vinnl | You won't run into those anyway ;-) | 14:34 |
| noob_M | can i ask about ubuntu here? | 14:34 |
| vinnl | Preferably in #ubuntu, I don't know if we can answer it here :) | 14:34 |
| noob_M | i alreay had ubuntu last year i uninstall it | 14:34 |
| noob_M | ic | 14:34 |
| noob_M | same server? | 14:34 |
| vinnl | Yep | 14:34 |
| noob_M | ok thanks | 14:34 |
| noob_M | vinnl for u which is eaiser xubuntu or ubuntu? | 14:35 |
| vinnl | Ehm, well... I think Ubuntu is a little bit easier for new users | 14:36 |
| vinnl | But of course I'm a Xubuntu fan ;-) | 14:36 |
| noob_M | ic | 14:36 |
| noob_M | my frend recomend xubuntu too | 14:36 |
| noob_M | before i try ubuntu i unstall it | 14:36 |
| noob_M | i dont know how to configure | 14:36 |
| noob_M | hehehe | 14:37 |
| noob_M | but now i want to learn | 14:37 |
| noob_M | hmmmm | 14:37 |
| noob_M | x or u? | 14:37 |
| noob_M | hehehe | 14:37 |
| noob_M | u choose for me | 14:37 |
| vinnl | You can easily do both :) | 14:37 |
| vinnl | I'd say: if you friend recommended Xubuntu, go with that, he'll know best what suits you | 14:37 |
| noob_M | but u said x is for slow pc? | 14:37 |
| Slonkie | Anyone capable of helping me with windows shares, and how to connect the them from xubuntu? | 14:37 |
| vinnl | Well, that wasn't me, but... Xubuntu will run a bit better. Do you have a slow PC? | 14:38 |
| noob_M | athlon 1800xp | 14:38 |
| noob_M | 256 ram | 14:38 |
| noob_M | 10 gig hd | 14:39 |
| noob_M | is my old pc | 14:39 |
| noob_M | hehehe | 14:39 |
| noob_M | ata-66 hardisk slow | 14:39 |
| vinnl | Ah well then you don't want to do Ubuntu :P | 14:39 |
| noob_M | y? | 14:39 |
| noob_M | can't run 256 ram? | 14:39 |
| vinnl | Yeah but not pleasantly | 14:39 |
| vinnl | Oh wait, I don't even think it can, no | 14:40 |
| noob_M | only to learn the basic | 14:40 |
| noob_M | only to learn the basics | 14:40 |
| noob_M | how about 512 | 14:40 |
| vinnl | You could, but I'd really go with Xubuntu, it's a bit faster | 14:40 |
| noob_M | i tried 512mb it run the ubuntu | 14:40 |
| vinnl | Still, though you could give Ubuntu a try then | 14:40 |
| noob_M | u always online? | 14:40 |
| vinnl | Not always, no :P | 14:41 |
| noob_M | oh no | 14:41 |

| lolTodd | I've been having a problem getting my restricted video drivers to cooperate. I can enable and disable then fine from the panel, but they take no effect. It was working fine prior to a power outage, but now it's about a 10% success rate when I boot up. Suggestions? | 17:05 |
| xapiens | format and reinstall | 17:09 |
| lolTodd | Bite me. | 17:09 |
| TheSheep | lolTodd: dmesg says something? how about /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 17:10 |
| lolTodd | Checking | 17:15 |
| shippo | I was following this site http://layer8problem.blogspot.com/2008/10/howto-remote-desktop-to-xubuntu-710.html but when I got to vino-session it states command not found? | 17:15 |
| lolTodd | TheSheep: In Xorg.0.log it says "Backing store disabled. Does that help? | 17:18 |
| TheSheep | no | 17:20 |
| lolTodd | Validated modes: "nvidia-auto-slect" Virtual screen size determined to be 640x480. Unable to get display device CRT-0's EDID; cannot compute DPI from CRT-0's EDID. DPI set to (7, 75); computed from build-in default. | 17:23 |
| lolTodd | How about that, TheSheep? | 17:33 |
| TheSheep | lolTodd: looks like the driver works... | 17:34 |
| TheSheep | lolTodd: maybe try logs from when it's not working | 17:35 |
| lolTodd | TheSheep: Working or not, I'm stuck at 640x480. | 17:36 |
| TheSheep | lolTodd: that's because the driver couldn't read you monitor's resolution | 17:37 |
| TheSheep | lolTodd: try specyfying vertical and horizontal refresh rates in xorg.conf | 17:37 |
| chewit | does anyone know if the new notification system which is in Ubuntu 9.04 will be in Xubuntu 9.04? | 18:02 |
| dbdii407 | I need help: When i click on a window, it wont come into focus | 18:03 |
| charlie-tca | chewit: I don't know now. It was called notify-osd. | 18:08 |
| GreedyB2 | If I add a XFCE 4.6 PPA and update things is it pretty much impossible to go back if I don't like it or something doesnt work correctly? | 18:42 |
| jarnos | GreedyB2: It is not impossible. I have done it. | 18:43 |
| jarnos | GreedyB2: You can use synaptic to get list of the files installed from the PPA. Remove them in console, remove the PPA in /etc/sources.list and run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 18:46 |
| GreedyB2 | I see | 18:47 |
| GreedyB2 | Did everything work for you? | 18:47 |
| jarnos | GreedyB2: You mean in Xfce 4.6? | 18:47 |
| GreedyB2 | jarnos, yeah | 18:47 |
| jarnos | GreedyB2: No. I had to refresh some configuration to keep the panel from freezing the computer, for instance. However, I am using it again. | 18:48 |
| shippo | what is the correct way to use the -unixpw option for x11vnc? or is there a website I can be pointed to? | 19:11 |
| Shooree | where's the setting for the number of virtual desktops? I can't seem to find it following ubuntu how-to's | 19:17 |
| TheSheep | Shooree: it's in settings->setting manager->workspaces and margins | 19:20 |
| Shooree | that's what I thought, TheSheep, but whenever I set i to 4, my Compiz cube doesn't give me more than 2 | 19:20 |
| TheSheep | Shooree: that's because compiz is not xubuntu | 19:21 |
| TheSheep | Shooree: it does its own workspaces | 19:21 |
| Shooree | right | 19:21 |
| TheSheep | and has its own settings for it | 19:21 |
| TheSheep | !compiz | Shooree | 19:21 |
| ubottu | Shooree: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz-fusion | 19:21 |
| Shooree | could you tell me how to enable the cube, please? All I've got now is a two-faced square | 19:21 |
| Shooree | oh | 19:22 |
| Shooree | ok | 19:22 |
| TheSheep | I have no idea | 19:22 |
| TheSheep | sorry | 19:22 |
| Shooree | np | 19:22 |
| Shooree | I'll do my homework | 19:22 |
| Shooree | for the record, I was just blind. it was there the whole time, the desktop size tab. I just didn't see it. | 19:35 |
| artistxe | any blender users here that have discovered keyboard shortcut problems ? | 19:42 |
| artistxe | simple fix in the xfwm4 default file. the easy click option should be set to false. this seems to go for quite a few keyboard shortcuts | 19:43 |
| artistxe | in other programs as well | 19:43 |
| TheSheep | artistxe: what does it do? | 19:55 |
| artistxe | what does it (what ? ) do ? | 19:59 |
| artistxe | changing the default ? | 20:00 |
| TheSheep | artistxe: I'm just wondering hwat is the problem and how that option solves it | 20:00 |
| TheSheep | what* | 20:00 |
| artistxe | oh. in blender it the default prevents you from using certain key combos in edit mode. such as Alt-rmb in editmode to select an edgeloop | 20:01 |
| TheSheep | rmb? | 20:01 |
| artistxe | originally I had thought that it was a keboard config problem in the settings. | 20:02 |
| artistxe | rmb = right mouse button | 20:02 |
| artistxe | you do not use Blender I am guessing.... | 20:02 |
| Slonkie | ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) - Anyone know how to fix this? | 20:05 |
| TheSheep | Slonkie: start mysql daemon | 20:07 |
| Slonkie | how do i do that? | 20:07 |
| TheSheep | artistxe: not often, but I had similar problem in Second Life, I just switched that to Super | 20:08 |
| TheSheep | Slonkie: wait, what are you actually trying to do? | 20:08 |
| Slonkie | start mysql | 20:08 |
| TheSheep | what for? | 20:09 |
| Slonkie | I need it for amarok | 20:09 |
| TheSheep | amarok uses mysql? | 20:09 |
| Slonkie | yep | 20:09 |
| Slonkie | well, for the collection somehow | 20:10 |
| TheSheep | good thing I keep away from it :) | 20:10 |
| TheSheep | Slonkie: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start should start it | 20:10 |
| Slonkie | what would you say is better for audio playing? | 20:10 |
| TheSheep | I have no opinion, but there are lots of options, depending on what you need | 20:11 |
| Slonkie | lol | 20:12 |
| artistxe | Slonkie . I prefer Exaile myself. | 20:15 |
| Slonkie | Exaile looks god, how does it handle very big collections? | 20:16 |
| SiDi | Slonkie: correctly :p | 20:18 |
| SiDi | i use exaile, it can lag 1/2 secs if you add 1500 songs to a playlist, but once they're added it doesnt lag | 20:18 |
| artistxe | it also records streams , which I like :) | 20:23 |
| rocko | streams | 20:24 |
| rocko | for G | 20:24 |
| rocko | respect | 20:24 |
| artistxe | I use streamtuner to get my stations and have the preferences set up to open the streams in Exaile . from there you can record and save in the dir specified in the Exaile preferences | 20:24 |
| artistxe | or .you could always rip streams from terminal using streamripper | 20:27 |
| jarnos | Slonkie: What I like in Amarok is global shortcuts. I also had problem with database backend, but it was a while ago. | 20:37 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: You can choose from several database backends when using Amarok. | 20:40 |
| SiDi | amarok looks badly in gtk based environments :( | 20:42 |
| TheSheep | jarnos: any sane reason to not use sqlite? | 20:43 |
| TheSheep | SiDi: not with the gtkqt qt theme | 20:43 |
| jarnos | SiDi: It is only cosmetic. Shortcuts work better in Xfce than in Gnome/Metacity. | 20:44 |
| SiDi | TheSheep: What the hell is that ? oO | 20:44 |
| * SiDi googling ! :o | 20:44 | |
| jarnos | TheSheep: no idea. | 20:44 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: I guess anything you can use works. | 20:47 |
| TheSheep | SiDi: http://labs.trolltech.com/page/Projects/Styles/GtkStyle | 20:48 |
| TheSheep | SiDi: it would be great to have it by default in xubuntu | 20:49 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: Where do you get gtk2-x11-dev packages from? | 20:53 |
| TheSheep | jarnos: I'd guess libgtk2.0-dev | 20:55 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: the last command gave: "make: *** No rule to make target `checkinstall'. Stop." | 21:11 |
| TheSheep | jarnos: qmake | 21:12 |
| TheSheep | jarnos: and then make | 21:12 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: yes. but the output was from "sudo make checkinstall" | 21:14 |
| TheSheep | jarnos: I don't follow, what did you do? | 21:16 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: I did what was told at http://labs.trolltech.com/page/Projects/Styles/GtkStyle | 21:17 |
| what_if | I have a laptop with 64mb ram in it, can I run xubuntu with a gui ?> | 21:17 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: The last command gave what I told above. | 21:18 |
| TheSheep | what_if: it's theoretically possible, but it will be so slow, that it turns out unusable | 21:18 |
| TheSheep | jarnos: but where did you get that command? | 21:19 |
| what_if | any distro you can recommend for a 64mb machine ? | 21:19 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: you mean "sudo make checkinstall"? | 21:19 |
| TheSheep | what_if: I don't know, maybe archlinux, if configured with care, or puppylinux, or dsl | 21:19 |
| TheSheep | jarnos: yes | 21:20 |
| TheSheep | jarnos: just do 'sudo checkinstall' | 21:20 |
| TheSheep | jarnos: after 'qmake' | 21:20 |
| jarnos | what_if: DeLi Linux maybe. | 21:20 |
| TheSheep | what_if: you should be able to get some ram for it cheaply though | 21:21 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: That worked. Now there is GTK GUI style in Qt configuration | 21:25 |
| what_if | TheSheep: max ram 192. :P | 21:26 |
| what_if | 300mhz, 6gb hd, 192 ram max (64 currently) not really worth the extra $$ | 21:26 |
| knome | what_if, 192 is way better than 64. xubuntu is ok with it. | 21:28 |
| what_if | well, to be honest we need X and adobe acrobat. It will be way too slow... | 21:29 |
| knome | at least with 192 you *can* do it. | 21:29 |
| knome | with 64, i'm not really sure if you get a pdf reader running | 21:29 |
| what_if | knome: no, no pdf reading at 64 (tried) | 21:30 |
| what_if | I'll just add it to the toy pile, been wanting a "disposable" laptop anyways | 21:30 |
| knome | exactly. | 21:30 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: thanks. In which applications you see the difference? I can't see difference in Amrok. | 21:40 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: ^Amarok | 21:40 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: or in Kaffeine or QAmix for that matter. | 21:43 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: At least I can see the difference in qtconfic :) | 21:49 |
| jarnos | TheSheep: ^qtconfig | 21:57 |
| TheSheep | jussi01: try skype --disable-cleanlooks | 22:00 |
| knome | TheSheep, he went. | 22:01 |
| TheSheep | meh | 22:01 |
| jussi01 | spurious pings.... meh... :P | 22:18 |
| basajaun | hi all | 22:30 |
| knome | !hi | basajaun | 22:30 |
| ubottu | basajaun: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 22:30 |
| basajaun | just installed xubuntu on my son's old toshiba tecra but I only get a midget screen | 22:31 |
| durt | basajaun, If it's similar to my old satellite, there's a bios setting to change that. | 22:39 |
| basajaun | how do you do that durt? | 22:40 |
| durt | possibly esc or del at start up then maybe F1 to continue. If it's as old as mine. We're talking from the late 90's here. | 22:42 |
| Slor | toshiba - coulde be f2, f12, or something as well. | 22:43 |
| Slor | I forget exactly - on my toshibas, one F-key brings a startup menu and another gets me into bios. and it always takes me a while to find the right one. :) | 22:44 |
| basajaun | not working :) | 22:47 |
| Slor | try f1 as well. and hit them often during the boot process. | 22:48 |
| Slor | all else fails, you should be able to find a manual on toshiba's website | 22:49 |
| basajaun | I am in | 22:52 |
| basajaun | what should I change? | 22:52 |
| basajaun | I have changed the only option for display and restarted but mo joy | 22:57 |
| basajaun | no joy | 22:57 |
| basajaun | yaye got it thank you durt and slor | 23:03 |
| basajaun | bye all | 23:03 |
