dewwhi folks. how can i get the xterm that comes with xubuntu to have different geometry (besides running it with xterm -geometry 100x50)01:18
nintnintI have a query.01:25
th0rI have a computer01:26
nintnintI'm moving a lot of images, and some of them are the  same name, like 51.jpg.  is there any way to have it rename them instead of skipping or replacing?01:26
th0rnintnint: not that I am aware of. You could do a shell script to do the job...but there is nothing in the repos01:27
th0rnintnint: just a thought. There are some renaming utilities...you could rename *.jpg (foldername)-*.jpg01:28
th0rnintnint: but that would rename everything...not just the dupes01:28
nintnintwell if I cut everything, then skip the samenames, I can bulk rename the leftovers, like add a "b" before the .jpg01:29
th0ryup01:29
th0rnintnint: do a search in synaptic for01:30
th0rrename....found a bunch01:30
nintnintturns out it was only ten numbered files that shared names, so it was okay01:31
nintnintthis time!!!01:31
th0rnintnint: something that looks like it might help.....rename utils01:31
nintnintis there a way to get desktop icons in list or details view?01:31
nintninticons are so fat and bulky01:31
th0rnintnint: not that I know of01:32
nintnintdamn01:33
nintnintthat really sucks for me01:33
th0rnintnint: I don't use desktop icons so it isn't such a big deal for me. The desktop is just a temporary holding area for me.01:33
nintnintyeah, the same, but its either list, deets, or no icons at all01:34
nintnintI can't stand big fat unorganized icons taking up space like that on my desktop.01:34
th0rneither can I...that is why I don't have any....move everythign to a folder as soon as the downloads are complete01:35
nintnintwhy not download straight to a downloads folder?01:35
th0rnintnint: because, as soon as it is done I will move it to its permanent home....why have to navigate to two folders?01:36
nintnintalso cool would be a way to embed a file manager to the desktop.01:36
th0rnintnint: I might copy things to the desktop while I am working on them, but as soon as I am done they go back to their 'home'01:36
nintnintfine01:37
th0rnintnint: I would like to see a way to size the desktop icons01:39
nintnintthere is.01:39
nintnintgo to settings, desktop, icons01:39
nintnintdo NOT slide it though, I just tried that01:40
nintnintwent from 7 to 160 something01:40
nintnintit shows each pixel increase01:40
nintnintlags a bitch01:40
th0roh cool....I can have my minimized windows on the desktop ala E1601:41
th0rand get rid of that darn taskbar!01:41
nintnintthe panel?01:42
nintnintyou can autohide it.01:42
th0rI don't want to hide the whole panel...have other things on it. But want to get rid of the task bar...it is too windows-ish01:44
th0roh...that is MUCH better <smile>01:45
th0rnow if I could just get the minimized icons in the bottom left corner <smile>01:47
nintnintprobably some way01:52
nintnintthe autohide is much better?01:52
nintnintyou know we got a miystery to solve01:52
nintnintI always autohide the taskbar in windows01:54
nintnintwith alt tab, the start button, notification area, notifying me, there's no need to have it there all the time01:55
nintnintso how about that iTunes!01:59
nintnintI mean am I rite?01:59

Joelitohi all,..question about menu.lst from /boot/grub03:14
Joelitoin ubuntu when added the line vga=775 worked, but in xubuntu the boot splash doesn't show, any ideas?03:15
RedSocratesJoelito: Try entering an invalid number (like vga=733 or something), and then it should ask you to hit enter to see valid numbers, try one of them03:23
RedSocratesJoelito: For me, vga=773 no longer worked, but 305 did03:24
JoelitoRedSocrates: thanks, but isn't the same kernel from ubuntu and xubuntu?03:26
Joelitowhy worked in ubuntu, and not in xubuntu?03:26
RedSocratesJoelito: It is the same kernel, so I'm not sure why there was a difference, but there was for me03:26
JoelitoRedSocrates: thanks..I'll try some numbers :)03:28

Devilsprey99darn14:56
viddwhat up Devilsprey99 ?14:57
Devilsprey99can you tell me how to setup shortcut keys regarding keyboard layout switching14:57
Allah_kegyeltjeOla brotha'z14:58
viddyou want a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout?14:58
Allah_kegyeltje The Holy djihad against #ubuntu jaunty started today14:58
Allah_kegyeltje The install pack contains a few dozens of bugs and trojans14:58
Allah_kegyeltje Do not install that, if it is possible14:58
Allah_kegyeltje Very dangerous and risky!14:58
Devilsprey99yes14:59
viddDevilsprey99, i would recommend the keyboard switcher panel app14:59
Devilsprey99i use 8.1015:00
Devilsprey99i couldnt find one15:00
vidd??15:00
viddright-click on a panel15:00
viddchoose "add"15:00
viddselect "keyboard layout"15:00
viddits been part of the defualt package of available panel apps since (at least) dapper15:02
Devilsprey99well i need to setup shorcut keys15:02
Devilsprey99from keyboard15:03
Devilsprey99so that i can change to layouts while typing15:03
viddchoose "keyboard" from the settings manager menu15:03
vidd!layout15:03
ubottuTo switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts15:03
viddthat help?15:04
viddDevilsprey99, the reason i recommend against keyboard shortcut to change layout is because...once you use it, the layout has changed and your shortcut may not work (i havent done it so i dont know)15:06
Devilsprey99vidd, thanks15:07
viddnp15:07
Devilsprey99well it easily does in ubuntu15:08
Devilsprey99as i have used it15:08
Devilsprey99and so does in opensuse as well15:08
Devilsprey99i couldnt find one in Xubuntu but15:08
viddlike i said...i never tried it...so i dont know if you will or not have issues15:08
vidd!shortcut15:10
ubottuKeyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts15:10
viddDevilsprey99, the first link may not be useful....xorg.conf is hardly looked at anymore....15:11
Devilsprey99vidd,  ok thanks15:14
Devilsprey99i would see the keytouch15:14

titan_arkokay. i thought k3b was only for kde19:16
viddtitan_ark, make sure you have dvdrtools installed...otherwise, no burning app will work19:17
titan_arkthe last time i used brasero to copy a dvd it burned just 700 MB :'(19:17
titan_arkhere i must say i am a total noob at linux19:17
viddtitan_ark, yeah...your missing dvdrtools19:17
titan_arkoh damn!19:18

vidd?19:21
titan_arkxp decided to trouble me and gave me a "delayed write error" on my external hdd after that 2 partitions on my 250gig are empty in linux and 1 partition empty in xp!19:21
titan_arki used a recovery tool on xp and could find the data but dont have the free space to copy it out now :(19:22
titan_arkany suggestions on how i can recover my data thro xubuntu?19:22
viddyou running a live cd?19:22
titan_arkno, dual boot19:22
viddhow many optical drives?19:23
titan_arkone19:23
viddand internal drives?19:23
titan_arkone internal hdd and one external19:24
viddthe internal or external the one with the missing partitions?19:24
vidd*empty19:24
titan_arkthe external. its a 250GB into 5 partitions of ~50 each19:25
titan_arkall ntfs19:25
viddand the xubuntu...is that loacal?19:26
titan_arksorry dint get u.19:26
viddbah..*internal19:26
titan_arksorry, my bad. yes xubuntu is on internal19:26
titan_arkmy internal has 5 partitions 1 for xp 1 for xubuntu 2 data and 1 swap19:27
viddand the external is the one that you have the empty partitions on?19:27
titan_arkyup19:28
viddthen im going to recommend a data recovery tool19:28
viddlet me find it19:28
titan_arkon xp it indicates it as a "raw" partition and only 1 is inaccessable19:29
titan_arkbut on xubuntu 2 partitions are empty!19:29
titan_arkwell i used one on xp and it did show me my data19:29
titan_arkneed to create space to move that data out19:29
viddso you can see all the data on all the partitions?19:29
titan_arkwell on xp the problem is only in 1 partition, and that i can see , well almost all19:30
titan_arksome data cant be recovered19:30
titan_arki wonder why on xubuntu 2 partitions have gone kaput!19:31
viddhow important is this data? more important then the stuff on your internal?19:31
titan_arkoh no!19:31
viddi have a tool that runs as a live cd that will recover all the data (or as much as possible)19:32
titan_arkoh cool, which one?19:32
viddi recommend that you disconnect the external until you are ready to run it19:33
titan_arkyes, that i have done19:33
viddim still looking for it =\19:33
titan_arkokay :)19:33
titan_arkany idea why 2 partitions are empty in xubuntu?19:33
titan_arkand in windows the computer management shows that 1 partition as 'healthy' , so i am assuming the partition table got corrupted due to some reason19:34
Redhammer_the_Olhi, I know this is a daft question but where do I set the regional settings in xubuntu ???19:34
viddbecause every time you look at a partition you are writing to it19:34

* vidd despises KDE apps19:36
Redhammer_the_Olthe tooltip on the clock is doable of course but I have a feeling I need setlocale to do the rest ?19:36
titan_arkooh19:37
titan_arki just happened to see some reviews and complaints of discs not working after burning with brasero!19:37
viddtitan_ark, im kinda partial to gnomebaker....but i think that is defunct now19:37
titan_arkbunt my fingers once with it19:38
titan_arkvidd, ah oki19:38
titan_arki will be burning this data and deleting it from my hdd, so dont want to take any risks19:38
titan_ark:(19:38
titan_arkelse, i will end up loosing another 50 gigs of data in attempt to recover 100!19:39

=== Redhammer_the_Ol is now known as Red_afk
viddtitan_ark, i thought i did19:45
viddget dvdrtools19:46
titan_arkyeah did that19:46
viddthen your brasario will be fine19:46
titan_arkokay thats cool19:46
viddtry it19:46
titan_arkyup shall do that right away19:46
titan_arkthanks a ton19:47
viddnp happy to help19:47
titan_ark:)19:48
titan_arkvidd, does dvdrtools need to come up as a plugin in brasero?20:01
viddno20:05
viddits a back-end tool20:05
titan_arkokay20:07
titan_arkdo i need to select that i am burning a dvd :S all options are for cd/ dvd :S20:07
titan_arkand no options to control the burn speed also!20:08
viddone sec20:11
titan_arkokay20:12
viddif you select "data project" it *should* set to burn to whatever you load in....20:13
titan_arkoh okay20:13
viddfor example, if you load a blanck dvd...it should detect its a dvd and write to it accordingly20:13
titan_arkhmm okay20:13
viddat least...i believe this to be the case20:13
titan_arkwat abt speeds?20:13
viddthe system i am on right now only has a cd burner so i cant verify20:14
titan_arkoh okay20:14
* vidd never messes with that stuff20:14
titan_ark:D20:14
viddif the drive can burn it, that same drive can read it20:14
titan_arki guess the only way il know is burn and chk it at work tomorrow :P20:14
viddyep20:15
titan_arksigh, hope i dont waste another one!20:15
* vidd uses dvd+rw's for just this reason!20:15
titan_arkits weird that it doesnt give options to select the speed either! what if i want to burn at a low speed for safety reasons20:16
* titan_ark cant seem to find his only rw :(20:17
viddi think that is set when it comes time to burn20:17
viddgot a spare HD lying around? =]20:17
Vargsvanshello i have a problem that i wonder if anyone know a solution to20:18
Vargsvansmy harddrive is full as in 0 bytes free20:18
titan_arkHD :O nope20:18
Vargsvansbut now when i try to delete files it says its unable to20:18
viddVargsvans, so what is the question?20:18
viddVargsvans, HOW are you deleting the files?20:19
Vargsvansyeah how can i delete the files20:19
viddlet me re-phrase....20:19
viddwhat procedure are you using to delete files that is failing?20:20
viddVargsvans, ^^^20:21
viddVargsvans, are you right-clicking an item in a file manager and choosing "delete"?20:22
Vargsvanssudo rm /blabla/20:22
Vargsvansyeah tried that too20:22
viddare you trying to delete an entire directory?20:22
Red_afkbw found it, it was not in the permitted locales20:24
Red_afkthanks20:24
viddVargsvans, are you trying to delete specific files, or entire directories?20:24
Vargsvansvidd, yeah but know i tried deleting a single file whiched worked and know deleting anything works20:25
Vargsvans*now20:25
Vargsvansthank you20:25
Vargsvansstupid sister who filled the harddrive on her computer...20:25
viddVargsvans, to remove entire directories that are not empty....20:25
viddVargsvans, "sudo rm -Rf /path/to/directory/20:25
viddVargsvans, just make sure you do NOT have a space after that first / (that will delete your entire root directory)20:27
knome;O20:27
* titan_ark thinks 55 minutes to burn is 4 gb @ 16x is blasphemy 20:28
viddVargsvans, if that was my system....id delete her account (with all files) and rebuild the account!20:29
titan_arkaww, that would be harsh!20:30
viddbut im evil20:30
viddbet she'd learn =]20:30
titan_arklol20:30
knomegirls never learn20:31
vinnlBut knome'll teach em ;-)20:31
viddonly took my old lady 4 formats to teach her to stay away from limewire20:31
knomevinnl, exactly!20:31
titan_ark:D20:31
vidd(and blacklisting the site in the home router)20:31
titan_arkdont seem to get any girls here i must say!20:32
knomevidd, "old lady" sound a bit....kinky20:32
viddwell...she's not "the wife" yet20:32
titan_ark24 minutes to just create checksum b4 the burn seems bad :(20:32
viddtitan_ark, you ARE recovering data off a damaged drive...are you not?20:33
titan_arkoh no! just burning stuff to create space and then start that process!20:33
viddtitan_ark, how much swap space and ram you got?20:34
titan_arkhmmm 500MB swap and 256MB RAM, ridiculous i know20:34
titan_arkno, sorry 1 GB swap20:34
viddthere's your reason20:35
vidd(the ram...not the swap)20:35

vinnlOw20:37
vinnlEhm20:37
knomea normal installation then, eh?20:37
chaos[1]yes20:37
vinnlI think you'll have to install it the same as you did on the first hard drive20:37
chaos[1]live cd all over again20:37
viddchaos[1], remove the internal drive and throw in your installer disk?20:37
vinnlThough you might be able to install the application 'ubiquity' (the installer) on your desktop... But I wouldn't try it20:37

knome22:38  knome: i have a music dvd, but my computer thinks it is an audio cd.20:39
viddknome, it is an audio cd20:40
vidda really really BIG one20:40
vidd=]20:40
knomevidd, it is not. it *is* a dvd-single20:40
vinnlNope, no idea, I never burn stuff20:40
vinnlWell, except for other people, that is20:40
knomei never burn stuff either ;)20:40
knomei just try to rip it20:40
vinnlOh yeah, I never do that either :P20:40
vinnlI download my music :)20:41
knomei do that almost every day :P20:41
viddknome, but for all intent and purposes....is an audio optical disk (the computer lables that "audio cd....no mater what optical format the disk is)20:41
vinnlBecause I'm cheap like that :) <3 Jamendo20:41
knomevinnl, hehe20:41
Vargsvansanyone know if there is a ubuntu to equivalent to windows "diruse" where you can see how much space folders use?20:41
knomevinnl, how can i see the contents?20:41
knome*vidd20:41

vidd!df20:42
ubottuGraphical representations of where your disk-space is being used are: baobab (GNOME), filelight / kinfocenter (Kubuntu). On the terminal: df -h -T20:42
vinnlYep, I believe that's the one20:42
vinnlHah ^.^20:42
* vidd LOVES df20:42
* knome loves his wife20:42
viddso do i20:43
knomeheh20:43
knomeso anyway20:43
knomehow can i see the contents of that disc20:43
viddknome, you know what i mean!20:43
knomei know ;]20:43
viddshould be able to view it the same way you view stuff on any other....20:43
viddmount it and ls it20:44
knomeyeah, but it doesn't show any content on /media/cdrom20:44
viddthats weird20:44
knomewhat's the fs type for a dvd?20:44
viddah.....20:45

viddknome, sorry...i gots nothing20:48
knomeok20:48
viddbut hey...when ya figure it out...blog it!20:49
vidd=]20:49
knomeheh20:49
knomesuppose it is iso966020:49
knomemeh20:49
viddknome, its propably using the same fs type as audio cd's use20:50
viddand that is why its getting id'd as that20:50
knomeyeah.. but if i insert a (working) dvd-single, it shows me video_ts and audio_ts as directories on /media/cdrom20:51
viddknome, and what happens if you put in a "normal" AUDIO cd?20:52
knomeit doesn't show anything in /media/cdrom and performs the default audio cd action (open sound-juicer)20:52
knomethis is what happens with this dvd-single20:52
viddthere you go then20:52
knomebut no tracks are shown on sound juicer either20:53
knomei can't see *any* content20:53
viddso this audio dvd is a giant-messed up audio cd20:53
knomethere seems to be some I/O errors on the DVD, but the disc itself is ok20:53
viddout of curiosity....have you tried putting it into ,say, a dvd player (set-top box) or a cd player?20:54
knomenot yet.20:54
viddi would be interested in its performance20:54
knomethe cd cover says that "this dvd does not play on a normal cd player"20:54
knomeso it *is* definitely a dvd20:55
knomeif they have shipped me the correct disc with the case ;>20:55
viddyeah...so its quite possible that it wont play on a "normal" dvd player either!20:55
knomei'll go try our dvd player and then our windows machine20:56
knomejust a moment20:56
vidd*shutter* DMCA *shutter*20:56
knomedvd player says audio cd20:57
knomewhat the heck.20:57
viddknome, so it works?20:57
knomei'm starting to think this is not the correct disc :P20:57
viddon the dvd player20:57
knomethere's only three tracks20:57
knomehaven't tried playing anything yet20:57
viddtry it20:57
ElectricHeavyLanDo you think 'apt-get install apache2' command give me everything I need to set up the Apache HTTP webserver locally on my machine?20:57
viddperhaps you got a bad burn20:57
viddElectricHeavyLan, well...not EVERYTHING20:58
vidd!lamp20:58
ubottuLAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)20:58
viddElectricHeavyLan, it all depends on what you want to do20:59
viddif your doing web design, you are going to want ALOT more then just apache20:59
ElectricHeavyLanIf I just want to play around with serving up static files....though, I might want to "mess" with some .cgi stuff. Maybe installing the '' as well.21:00
viddElectricHeavyLan, but if all you want to do is static web pages, then yes apache2 will get everything it needs to load apache21:00
ElectricHeavyLanI already have Perl 5.10 MySQL installed.21:01
viddElectricHeavyLan, i would still recommend getting apache, php, and mySQL21:01
ElectricHeavyLanMaybe installing the 'libapache2-mod-perl2' package for that21:01
viddElectricHeavyLan, if you install "phpmyadmin" it will bring in them all21:02
ElectricHeavyLannote taken, thanks.21:02
knomevidd, it is an audio cd. they have shipped me a wrong disc.21:03
viddknome, if you lived in the USA, id tell ya to SUE them21:04
vidd=]21:04
knomenah21:06
knomei only paid 2,60 euros for it (including shipping from uk)21:06
knomeit's not worth it21:06
knomei'll just order a new one from another place.21:06
Slonkieor tell them to send you the proper CD?21:07
knomei will.21:07
viddknome, thats the problem with these europeans!21:07
viddJUST KIDDING!!!!!!21:07
knomei'll just give it to some of my friends.21:07
knome;)21:07
knomevidd, hehe21:07
* Slonkie thinks.. atleast europeans know's that africa isen't an country!21:10
knomehehehe21:10
knomebut most of them still don't know that polar bears don't walk in the streets of finnish cities21:10
viddamericans know its not a country21:10
knomevidd, they know it's "not us" ;P21:11
viddit the polititians that "mispeak"21:11
Slonkieye right21:11
SlonkieI think palin show's off the knowledge of an average American quite good... :D21:11
viddknome, when did y'all drive out the polar bears?21:11
knome:P21:11
vidd=]21:11
viddSlonkie, did you see the entire interview? where she corrected herself21:12
Slonkienah21:12
viddyeah21:12
SlonkieIt's bad enough even "misspeaking" that21:12
viddcontenent...country....21:13
viddthey sound similar21:13
vidd=]21:13
Slonkieblame the english language.. there's quite an difference :P21:13
knomeyeah, two same letters at the beginning...21:13
knomeor more like, a consonant and a wovel at the beginning21:13
knomemust be the same thing21:13
