| BigMoopies | Hm. Quality Assurance Lead? | 00:34 |
| cody-somerville | Indeed | 00:38 |

| marcPV | ok i already installed the xubuntu-restricted-extras, now what i have to do with the font i want to install? | 08:20 |
| marcPV | please, anyone? | 08:25 |
| _Pete_ | I'm sure anyone will respond when have time/knowledge | 08:26 |
| _Pete_ | before that just wait | 08:26 |
| marcPV | i guess, sorry... it seems that forces is busy | 08:29 |
| forces | :O | 08:30 |
| forces | marcPV, you already have installed ms-fonts | 08:31 |
| forces | just use it | 08:31 |
| SliMM | I have a problem with font dpi in xubuntu | 08:32 |
| SliMM | most of my fonts are all of a sudden larger | 08:32 |
| marcPV | thanks anyway but my question is about how to install concrete truetype font | 08:33 |
| marcPV | i have the ttf file and i want to use it | 08:33 |
| forces | marcPV, you can install it from repositories | 08:34 |
| forces | you dont need a file | 08:34 |
| forces | SliMM, edit your xorg.conf | 08:34 |
| forces | !xorg | SliMM | 08:34 |
| ubottu | SliMM: 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 | 08:34 |
| marcPV | the thing is i have to make a document with that ttf file they send to me | 08:35 |
| marcPV | sorry i am totally rookie, how may i use repositories to install it? | 08:35 |
| SliMM | forces: I have restarted X | 08:37 |
| SliMM | no result | 08:37 |
| forces | SliMM, not restart | 08:37 |
| forces | edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:38 |
| SliMM | well, there's nothing to edit there | 08:38 |
| SliMM | my resolution is correct | 08:38 |
| SliMM | the font size is wrong | 08:38 |
| SliMM | and this is a problem I have encountered only in xubuntu | 08:38 |
| SliMM | could it be bacause of the ubuntu updates? | 08:40 |
| forces | you can edit your font size in xorg.conf | 08:40 |
| forces | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne | 08:42 |
| forces | "Set Correct Font Size" | 08:43 |
| marcPV | ok i found the way to install fonts on xubuntu from TTF files: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=797173 | 08:51 |

| forces | u.u | 08:58 |
| marcPV | see u | 09:00 |
| zeltak | hi guys..just installed mythbuntu (with xubuntu desktop). its missing language support anyone care to guide me on how to add it? | 10:22 |
| SiDi | zeltak, hello | 10:27 |
| zeltak | hi | 10:27 |
| SiDi | Go to apps -> system -> Language support | 10:27 |
| SiDi | It should normally notice that you're missing some language packages and offer you to download and install them. | 10:28 |
| zeltak | hmm i dont have these menus | 10:28 |
| zeltak | i have an application menu>system but now language menu | 10:28 |
| zeltak | *no | 10:29 |
| SiDi | open a console and launch "gnome-language-selector" | 10:29 |
| SiDi | it should be there, at least in 8.04/8.10 (probably in other versions too) | 10:30 |
| zeltak | not installed.. i guess ill install these packages | 10:30 |
| zeltak | what i want is to keep english as the main lang. but have other languages support | 10:31 |
| SiDi | this app will check for missing language packages | 10:55 |
| gorgut | hey guys. I'm forwarding an X session via ssh. I am running a program on another computer and I needed to reboot this one, so I ctrl+Z'ed and put the forwarded window in the background with the "bg" command. Now that I rebooted, is there a way to pull that window back up over a new ssh session? | 11:48 |
| _Pete_ | I think not without starting the app again over new ssh session | 11:50 |
| gorgut | hrm. well, the app was working when i backgrounded it | 11:51 |
| gorgut | it was encoding a DVD, actually | 11:51 |
| _Pete_ | I guess when the forwarded X11 app loses the ssh connection | 11:52 |
| _Pete_ | it will terminate | 11:52 |
| gorgut | hrm. i see... | 11:52 |
| gorgut | is there a way to just "detatch" the window (kinda like you can do with the "screen" command) for GUI windows? | 11:53 |
| _Pete_ | not any of I know | 11:53 |
| _Pete_ | better use freenx for those | 11:53 |
| gorgut | well, I'm not wanting to maintain the ssh connection the entire time | 11:54 |
| _Pete_ | freenx is perfect then | 11:54 |
| _Pete_ | you cat detach session and reconnect later | 11:54 |
| gorgut | interesting... | 11:54 |
| gorgut | ok. i'll read up on that. Thanks | 11:55 |
| _Pete_ | like screen but for whole desktop session | 11:55 |
| jinggoy | hi | 12:54 |
| jinggoy | guys, is there any way i can determine the computers w/c are connected on me? | 12:55 |
| ablomen | jinggoy, connected how? | 12:57 |
| jinggoy | my downloads are getting slower, i'm thinking of other units w/c are connecting on me.. | 13:01 |
| kromar | how can i change the size of my partitions and create a new one? | 13:11 |
| Raggs | kromar, with parted | 13:11 |
| Raggs | gparted actually is easy | 13:11 |
| kromar | it only finds qtparted in the add/remove app | 13:12 |
| kromar | does that work also? | 13:12 |
| Raggs | yes | 13:12 |
| Raggs | but back up stuff before you do anything | 13:12 |
| kromar | there is also a gnome partition editor and KVPM, which one would you recommend? | 13:13 |
| Raggs | gnome partition editor i believe is GParted | 13:13 |
| Raggs | just checked, it is, do you have a live CD with gparted on it? | 13:14 |
| kromar | why would i need a cd with it? | 13:14 |
| Raggs | because you cant edit a partition that is in use | 13:15 |
| Raggs | i think xubuntu has gparted | 13:16 |
| Raggs | not totally sure though | 13:16 |
| Raggs | kromar, what do you need the new partition for/ | 13:17 |
| kromar | well i installed new hardware and windofs doesnt start anymore, so i need a new one to install a new version... | 13:17 |
| Raggs | windows wont start? | 13:18 |
| kromar | nope blue screen ftw... | 13:18 |
| kromar | well i changed the mainboard, cpu, gpu.. so might be a problem for it | 13:18 |
| Raggs | no doubt, can you access your windows partition from linux? | 13:19 |
| kromar | yes | 13:19 |
| Raggs | anything there you need to save? | 13:20 |
| === Roonux__ is now known as Roonux | ||
| kromar | you think it would be easier to backup the things i need and format the disk?^ | 13:21 |
| Raggs | kromar, it is hard to say without knowing what is on the disk | 13:21 |
| kromar | well there are a lot of programms and settings for everything, but i think i have to format it anyway, so no need for an other partition.. | 13:22 |
| Raggs | you will hoever need to reinstall a boot loader | 13:23 |
| kromar | oh man thats gona be a pain to reinstall:/ | 13:27 |
| kromar | is there a way to directly delete files without moving them to the trash? | 13:35 |
| _Pete_ | press shift while selecting delete from meny | 13:35 |
| _Pete_ | or use commandline :) | 13:36 |
| knome | or shift+delete | 13:43 |
| basajaun | hi I have two versions of xubuntu installed on two hard drives of the same computer in order to access some files on one of the drives I have made changes to permissions which means that when I log onto the other drive/version my permissions are messed up is there a way to change that ? | 14:01 |
| basajaun | have problems with change made to permissions on a hard drive containing another version of ubuntu | 14:36 |
| genady12 | how do I connect to ppp with xubuntu? I added connection in networkmanager whats now? | 14:53 |
| Skizoboy | hey there | 14:59 |
| Skizoboy | anybody here? | 15:00 |
| _Pete_ | no | 15:02 |
| SiDi | no | 15:02 |
| SiDi | We're all away, sorry | 15:02 |
| SiDi | (feel free to ask a question, Skizoboy, if anybod knows the answer they'll tell you) | 15:03 |
| Skizoboy | well | 15:03 |
| Skizoboy | I have a Xubuntu box I used to use as a NAS | 15:04 |
| Skizoboy | I only have Macs on this network | 15:04 |
| Skizoboy | and the Xubuntu box was running 8.04.1 | 15:05 |
| Skizoboy | last week I installed 9.04 | 15:05 |
| Skizoboy | and it works great | 15:06 |
| Skizoboy | but I cant get Netatak to work | 15:06 |
| Skizoboy | Netatalk* | 15:06 |
| Skizoboy | I need to know if the new version included in Xubuntu supports encryption | 15:07 |
| Skizoboy | (Excuse my English BTW, I'm French :) | 15:08 |
| knome | Skizoboy, 'apt-cache policy netatalk' to get the version number | 15:08 |
| knome | Skizoboy, i don't know the app so i can't help you more. the version should be at least the same that is in intrepid | 15:09 |
| Skizoboy | 2.0.4 beta 2 | 15:09 |
| Skizoboy | well it was 2.03 before | 15:09 |
| Skizoboy | and I remember I had to tweak it | 15:09 |
| knome | Skizoboy, so maybe you need to tweak this new version also, if you didn't do an upgrade | 15:10 |
| Skizoboy | now the tutorial I had used to add SSL support doesn't work anymore | 15:10 |
| knome | Skizoboy, try on web.archive.org | 15:10 |
| knome | Skizoboy, or google cache | 15:10 |
| Skizoboy | I still have the instructions | 15:10 |
| knome | right | 15:11 |
| knome | i have to go now | 15:11 |
| Skizoboy | but it seems impossible to add SSL to this new version | 15:11 |
| knome | i will be back later, if you still need help | 15:11 |
| Skizoboy | ok, thx :) | 15:11 |
| knome | Skizoboy, you can also try #ubuntu, because this is not xubuntu-sepcific | 15:11 |
| knome | *specific | 15:11 |
| Skizoboy | k, thx :) | 15:12 |
| basajaun | Have a problem with changes permissions | 15:27 |
| ecceberlin | how can I make xubuntu/xfce remember the desired screen resolution? | 16:00 |
| ecceberlin | it is reset on each reboot | 16:00 |
| Ruadh | Hi, all | 16:28 |
| Besogon | ecceberlin, I find out you problem!!!! | 16:28 |
| Besogon | ecceberlin, decision: change file ~/.config/monitors.xml | 16:30 |
| Besogon | Without thanks... Nice | 16:33 |
| Besogon | Ruadh, hi man | 16:36 |
| dean | hi guys, having a bit of trouble. trying to run xubuntu 9.04 as a little headless home server, but as soon as i detach the monitor cable it goes into "low graphics mode" on bootup and fails to reach desktop. any ideas? | 16:50 |
| cody-somerville | dean, Disable X from starting at boot | 16:51 |
| dean | yeh i tried that, but when i enter startx it launches a different, I believe standard non-ubuntu branded desktop | 16:52 |
| dean | does that make sense? | 16:52 |
| dean | I wouldnt worry about it being different but then it ties up my session on ssh and doesnt launch my autostart scripts i setup under the standard default xfce desktop (the xubuntu altered/branded one) | 16:54 |
| cody-somerville | you can do /etc/init.d/gdm start | 16:58 |
| Besogon | dean, Why do you do detach? Change your xorg.conf May be section "Monitor" has failed | 17:09 |
| cody-somerville | I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to modify xorg.conf | 17:10 |
| ecceberlin | Besogon, thanks, I was away for a while | 17:12 |
| ecceberlin | however, ~/.config/monitors.xml does not exist | 17:12 |
| Besogon | cody-somerville, may be | 17:12 |
| ecceberlin | and there are correct settings in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml | 17:12 |
| ecceberlin | but they are ignored | 17:13 |
| Besogon | ecceberlin, I havent that file. ( xfce 4.4.2 was installed after ubuntu gnome). | 17:16 |
| Besogon | ecceberlin, Doesn't work ~/.config/monitors.xml? | 17:17 |
| alok_ | hello is anyone here | 17:26 |
| Besogon | hello | 17:29 |
| alok_ | Can anyone help me? | 17:31 |
| alok_ | i am unable to create launchers | 17:31 |
| Besogon | What do you mean with word launchers (rockets) )) | 17:34 |
| alok_ | oh iam sorry | 17:35 |
| alok_ | i meant a shortcut | 17:35 |
| alok_ | "launcher" | 17:35 |
| alok_ | when i right click on the desktop and select "create launcher" | 17:36 |
| zoredache | can you be more specific? | 17:36 |
| alok_ | a dialog box pops up | 17:36 |
| alok_ | when i type a name for the launcher | 17:36 |
| alok_ | the app just crashes | 17:36 |
| alok_ | eventually i have to use "ln -s" but that's frustrating | 17:37 |
| zoredache | have you tried creating a different name? | 17:37 |
| zoredache | perhaps something simple like blah, foo, bar, or test? | 17:37 |
| alok_ | Sir i cant even type a single letter | 17:39 |
| alok_ | as i write anything in the "name" text box | 17:39 |
| alok_ | the application crashes | 17:39 |
| alok_ | and apport starts | 17:39 |
| dean | @ cody, if restarting gdm daemon works that would be ace! I can then simply setup init.d scripts for rtorrent and sabnbd and be doen with! thus saving on X running 24/7 for no reason | 17:39 |
| basajaun | changed permission on second hard drive which also contains aversion of xubuntu and when I log using that version permissions are of course messed up any solution? | 17:39 |
| alok_ | Is this ia a bug in xfce 4.6? | 17:40 |
| zoredache | I don't know, I haven't upgraded yet | 17:40 |
| bigzed | alok_, it works fine with my xfce 4.6 | 17:42 |
| alok_ | "exo-desktop-item-edit crashed with SIGSEGV in strstr()" | 17:42 |
| Besogon | "ln -s" must work whether or no. | 17:42 |
| alok_ | sir this is what apport reports | 17:42 |
| alok_ | " ln-s" works perfectly | 17:42 |
| alok_ | and it lists "nvidia kernel module" as the culprit | 17:43 |
| alok_ | anything to do with graphics driver? | 17:43 |
| bigzed | maybe, it works fine with an intel integrated chipset... maybe nvidia causes the crash | 17:45 |
| Besogon | alok_, hardly. I think if you have problem with video-driver you have trobble in almost all applications. II suggest to find out package for it and reinstall. Sorry I cant help you more. | 17:47 |
| alok_ | just one more thing sir | 17:47 |
| alok_ | i had installed the 173 series nvidia driver | 17:47 |
| alok_ | do you think upgrading to the 180 series will help? | 17:48 |
| Besogon | alok_, I think no. But I have installed 180.44 series driver on my computer. (it seems work fine for me) | 17:50 |
| alok_ | oh its a known problem | 17:53 |
| alok_ | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exo/+bug/288057 | 17:53 |
| alok_ | guess i will have to use thunar | 17:53 |
| Besogon | alok_, Are you from the German? ))) | 17:54 |
| alok_ | no | 17:55 |
| alok_ | i use english india as the default language | 17:55 |
| alok_ | Yes that is very starnge | 17:55 |
| alok_ | it is listed that that bug affects only the german language | 17:56 |
| alok_ | Thanks for the help sirs | 17:56 |
| alok_ | when i create the desktop link from thunar it works | 17:57 |
| alok_ | but now i get an arrow beneath the shortcut icon just like in windows | 17:57 |
| alok_ | how i can remove that arrow? | 17:57 |
| Besogon | alok_, You are from India. I havent that. May be it only in xfce 4.6 you have. I not so experienced user. Sorry | 18:03 |
| ecceberlin | alok, a more elegant solution would be to write a .desktop file yourself | 18:06 |
| ecceberlin | you can look at examples in /usr/share/applications | 18:06 |
| ecceberlin | just create such a file in ~/Desktop | 18:06 |
| alok_ | Thanks ecceberlin | 18:15 |
| alok_ | let me give it a try | 18:15 |
| ecceberlin | if the application you want to launch, is in /usr/share/applications, you just need to copy the file to ~/Desktop | 18:16 |
| Ruadh | bbl | 18:17 |
| alok_ | yes thanks | 18:20 |
| alok_ | it surely works | 18:20 |
| ecceberlin | great :) | 18:20 |
| alok_ | now that that problem is solved | 18:24 |
| alok_ | can someone tell me how can i get totem to work with oss 4.1 | 18:24 |
| orgthingy | hello, i seriously need help! whenever i play a video using vlc or mplayer, sometime during the video i get (any video btw..) at end of my ~/.xsession-errors file THIS http://pastebin.com/m77295d2a | 19:15 |
| orgthingy | please help me, it's *really* pissing me off, 'cause it logs me out of xfce and doesnt let me continue watching my videos :( | 19:15 |
| ron_o | you have a fatal error on your Xserver.. | 19:18 |
| ron_o | besides that, I don't know. :/ | 19:18 |
| orgthingy | ron_o: yes, i already know that :( | 19:18 |
| orgthingy | solution anyone? | 19:18 |
| ron_o | I was being a being sarcastic. | 19:19 |
| ron_o | wicd-client.py | 19:19 |
| ron_o | that's python there. | 19:19 |
| ron_o | run your video in a terminal and maybe you can track down the error there. | 19:19 |
| orgthingy | ron_o: it's not just wicd-client | 19:19 |
| orgthingy | its many apps | 19:19 |
| ron_o | pipe the output to a file. | 19:19 |
| ron_o | but it's just the video no? | 19:20 |
| orgthingy | what do you mean? | 19:20 |
| ron_o | well if it's crashing your system, then you can run your video program in a terminal. That will give you feedback what's going on all the time. But if your system crashes, then what? | 19:21 |
| ron_o | you can run a command and pipe it to any file with the > | 19:22 |
| orgthingy | i know, ron_o | 19:22 |

| orgthingy | crashing time! *opens some vid* | 19:23 |
| ron_o | anyway, do you have widgets running? | 19:24 |

| orgthingy | ron_o: the pastebin text file showed more than one "app" crashes | 19:25 |
| orgthingy | ron_o: wicd-client.py: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0. | 19:25 |

| orgthingy | ron_o: but why does xfce log me out :( | 19:30 |
| orgthingy | cant vlc/totem just crash alone :'( | 19:30 |
| ron_o | yah, weird. | 19:30 |
| ron_o | that means it's an OS problem. | 19:30 |
| orgthingy | << X11 noob | 19:30 |
| orgthingy | ron_o: no, DE problem | 19:31 |
| orgthingy | ron_o: I had gnome before | 19:31 |
| orgthingy | now dont anymore (only xfce) | 19:31 |
| orgthingy | because of gnome broken deps in sid atm..etc | 19:31 |
| orgthingy | but it never ever happened to me in gnome | 19:31 |
| ron_o | for debugging try to use another window manager just to try to see where it's coming from. | 19:32 |
| orgthingy | ron_o: same with OpenBox/LXDE for some reason | 19:32 |
| orgthingy | but never on gnome..odd really | 19:32 |
| ron_o | man.. | 19:32 |
| ron_o | so you installed Ubuntu with Gnome and then installed XFCE on top of it? | 19:33 |
| orgthingy | ron_o: I've been using Linux for 11 years now and never got such a "weird" situation | 19:33 |
| orgthingy | ron_o: yea, multiple-DE's | 19:33 |
| ron_o | never seen it before either. | 19:33 |
| ron_o | I had some problems with that so I know just use Xubuntu. | 19:34 |
| ron_o | too many ubuntu apps want to start automaticlly. | 19:34 |
| ron_o | I'm actually trying to figure out a probelm myself. I'm playing minesweeper and my mouse keeps going nuts when I play it. Only when I play that does it skip and hold and gyrate out of control. | 19:37 |
| ron_o | and usually only when I go really fast. | 19:37 |
| orgthingy | ron_o: i think it's dbus problems | 19:39 |
| orgthingy | but how to solve it i dont know | 19:39 |
| orgthingy | it's a shame that im a linux/unix consulter | 19:39 |
| orgthingy | for servers though, and dont know how to solve my own problems | 19:39 |
| ron_o | wow.. | 19:40 |
| ron_o | the desktop is indeed a different ballgame altogether though. don't feel so bad. | 19:41 |
| ron_o | you shouldn't need X11 much. | 19:41 |

| SiDi_unchoked | I asked in #xfce btw, they might know better than us | 19:46 |
| orgthingy | SiDi_unchoked: yea, appearntly no answer :( | 19:46 |
| orgthingy | ron_o: wait, it has dependencies problems | 19:47 |

| orgthingy | yet it causes problems.. | 19:49 |
| orgthingy | should i remove it? | 19:49 |
| SiDi_unchoked | sudo apt-get reinstall ? | 19:50 |
| orgthingy | SiDi_unchoked: cant | 19:50 |
| SiDi_unchoked | You don't have any custom PPA? | 19:50 |
| orgthingy | dep problems...(not ready to explain 'how' i got dep problems but i cant really fix it atm, probably in a week) | 19:50 |
| orgthingy | SiDi_unchoked: I use debian unstable :P with ubuntu parts in it | 19:50 |
| SiDi_unchoked | you installed xorg/xfce from a server install ? | 19:50 |
| orgthingy | i call it orgbuntu sometimes, since it's a mixture | 19:51 |
| SiDi_unchoked | i see.. :P | 19:51 |
| orgthingy | SiDi_unchoked: xfce from repo | 19:51 |
| orgthingy | anyhow, i guess i should remove that package | 19:51 |
| orgthingy | it conflicts with other packages fhs! | 19:51 |
| SiDi_unchoked | well, you must be missing some packages :P | 19:51 |
| SiDi_unchoked | but we cant help you on orgbuntu :P | 19:51 |
| orgthingy | w00t! | 19:52 |
| * SiDi_unchoked goes back to his memory leaks in his BT client :( it's been stable for 2 hours :( | 19:52 | |
| orgthingy | X problems are X problems after all! | 19:52 |
| orgthingy | SiDi_unchoked: memory leaks? | 19:52 |
| SiDi_unchoked | but this X is far above my knowledge :P | 19:52 |
| SiDi_unchoked | memory leaks, memory corruptions, various segfaults | 19:52 |
| SiDi_unchoked | happiness | 19:52 |
| orgthingy | I use KTorrent as a BT client | 19:53 |
| orgthingy | wonderful even though it's QT | 19:53 |
| SiDi_unchoked | supports DHT, stuff like that ? :P | 19:53 |
| orgthingy | SiDi_unchoked: yes ;) | 19:54 |
| SiDi_unchoked | (mine's here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/reztorrent it supports grabbing IPv4 IPs from TCP trackers, and answering to handshakes, and that's all :D) | 19:54 |
| orgthingy | THE VIDEO PLAYED | 19:56 |
| orgthingy | but then, i stopped the video, because of excitement | 19:56 |
| orgthingy | clicked on roxterm | 19:56 |
| orgthingy | then, it froze | 19:56 |
| SiDi_unchoked | and your PC burnt ? :P | 19:56 |
| orgthingy | logged me out of xfce..again | 19:56 |

| Slonkie | What's the default chmod permission on folders? | 20:15 |
| zoredache | Slonkie: can you be more specific? | 20:15 |
| Raggs | drwxr-xr-x | 20:16 |
| zoredache | it depends a lot on the folder, and your umask | 20:16 |
| Slonkie | well i by mistake set chmod -R 000 on a folder of mine in the believe it would promt me for an password when i wanted to enter it | 20:16 |
| Slonkie | now i can't enter it at all | 20:16 |
| SiDi_SIGABRT | Slonkie, 755 | 20:17 |
| Slonkie | Thanks, SiDi_SIGABRT :). | 20:17 |
| zoredache | Slonkie: if you want security on a folder look at setting up things like truecrypt, dm-crypt, or so on | 20:17 |
| SiDi_SIGABRT | i think he just wants to open his folder | 20:17 |
| Slonkie | well no i wanted to make it password protected | 20:18 |
| zoredache | SiDi_SIGABRT: which you helped him with... I was trying to address the underlying issue | 20:18 |
| SiDi_SIGABRT | anyways default chmod is 755 ^^ | 20:18 |
| SiDi_SIGABRT | zoredache, i see :p | 20:18 |
| Slonkie | thought it maybe was possible like that, somebody said that in a forum i saw. | 20:18 |
| SiDi_SIGABRT | Does anyone know about a simple and light library to handle HTTP requests, that is NOT libcurl ? | 20:35 |
| zoredache | what is you problem with curl? And what language do you want to use it in? Pythong has httplib | 20:37 |
| Slonkie | What is Xorg? It's using an impressive amount of CPU power | 20:42 |
| zoredache | xorg is the base component for the gui... | 20:43 |
| Slonkie | all right | 20:43 |
| SiDi_SIGABRT | zoredache, my problem is that i dont understand how im meant to send a get request and get my answer with it | 20:43 |
| Slonkie | thanks | 20:43 |
| SiDi_SIGABRT | i'm using C, zoredache | 20:43 |
| Slonkie | If i wanna remove an application i compiled myself, should i just delete the directory of the application? | 20:49 |
| SiDi_SIGABRT | if you did a make install there should also be a make clean or make remove | 20:50 |
| Slonkie | Thanks | 20:51 |

| cody-somerville | Slonkie, Its probably where you saved it ;p | 21:27 |
| Slonkie | That's useful ;) | 21:27 |
| cody-somerville | Slonkie, Try Applications > Accessories > Search for files | 21:27 |
| cody-somerville | or catfish | 21:27 |
| Slonkie | i tried it | 21:28 |
| Slonkie | Chouldn't find it :/ | 21:28 |
| cody-somerville | Any idea what the filename is? | 21:28 |
| Slonkie | well i searching for the few that came to mind i might have called it | 21:28 |
| SiDi_SIGABRT | Slonkie, | 21:35 |
| SiDi_SIGABRT | open inkscape | 21:35 |
| SiDi_SIGABRT | and save an empty file | 21:35 |
| SiDi_SIGABRT | and it'll tell you in which path you saved last time :P | 21:35 |
| Slonkie | well.. it's not the last time i saved | 21:37 |
| Slonkie | well you helped me back then SiDi_SIGABRT. what dir would you have me put down my file? :P | 21:37 |

| rafkid | good evn | 22:22 |

| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 22:27 |
| jmichaelx | i just upgraded to xubuntu jaunty, and have one gripe with the new xfce... so far, i have not been able to get the old functionality when right-clicking on the desktop... i want the applications menu ONLY, NOT the desktop menu, with a selection at the bottom for the apps menu. is there still a way to do this? | 22:28 |
