[00:26] I like the feature of how irssi lets you go "Fullscreen(F11)" to switch windows. You simply use 'Alt-1...etc...' to switch between channels. Can you something similiar with Xterm? The only way I know how to switch between windows is to open a new tab, but that makes it where you still have the tabs present at the top of the screen. I'd like as much 'real estate' as possible... [00:27] unitxt: screen [00:27] screen? [00:27] yes [00:27] hmm, ok [00:28] http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/a-quick-tutorial-on-screen/ [00:31] TheSheep: Thanks for the link! Excellent. I read that and hopefully all will go well. I use Vim and that would be a great feature as I use multiple files when editing. Thanks again, I'll go look and read this. [00:36] wow, power keeps going out at me house and my UPS picks up on it 10 seconds before.. [00:36] amazing. [00:39] unitxt: btw, you can open several files in vim [01:12] TheSheep: I can open up several files at once in Vim w/o opening a new tab (in full screen mode) and switch between them? If that's the case then I wouldn't need to use screen as I am mainly want to use it to edit perl and html files via fullscreen mode. [01:13] Still looking @ screen...I am doing something 'silly' as it's not working for me yet...I'll keep reading though... === Barridus_ is now known as Barridus [01:26] unitxt: you can [01:26] unitxt: join #vim to meet some experts in the field :) [01:28] TheSheep: thanks!...will do... [01:37] TheSheep: Thanks, got screen working. Now I am able to switch between Vim files via 'C-a 0-9'. That'll do until I have the time to get Vim to do what 'screen' is going for me now...plus, with screen I can use other programs like Alpine and stuff so thanks again for the link...much appreciated. [01:41] unitxt: you also can detach it and leave running on a server overnight [01:43] Hi, I just added an ethernet card to my computer, and I set a static ip on it with the built in network manager. I'm pretty sure I did everything correct but now only the older card works (which is still running with DHCP). [01:44] The problem is that I when I go to the network manager now I can't find the setting I put in but it looks like it is still in effect, that is, the newer card still doesn't connect [01:44] does the network manager change /etc/interfaces directly or is the configuration stored elsewhere? [01:46] I think it talks to the system directly through HAL [01:47] I am running Xubuntu 8.10 live CD and cannot manage to find a way to switch the interface language to Urdu. Any help? === Saad_ is now known as Muhammad_Saad === Muhammad_Saad is now known as M_Saad [01:48] TheSheep: What? 0.o ...that sounds like something out of a Sci-Fi film (detach and leave it ruuning on a server)...I'll have to look into that later...sounds cool though. [01:52] I have got the Urdu translations of Xfce applications in /usr/share/locale but cannot manage to switch the interface to Urdu. Applications > System > Language Support does not help either. :( [01:54] M_Saad: you get an error? [01:54] M_Saad: note that if the translations are not complete, untranslated parts will stay English [01:55] I dont get an option for Urdu on the login screen. [01:56] I even installed all packages available for Urdu. Even though the translation of Xfce was already available in /usr/share/locale [01:57] M_Saad: maybe editing ~/.dmrc manually will help [01:57] M_Saad: select some other language at login, and change it in .dmrc to Urdu [01:59] What is the syntax? [02:00] M_Saad: I don't know, that's why I suggested to change it to some other language first [02:00] M_Saad: to see an example [02:00] OK [02:04] Thanks! It worked. [02:06] Another thing that looks a little unusual is that I keep getting the message that the new language settings will take effect after I log out. Even when I logged out more than one time. Finally I had to create a new user account to test. Is that because of the way the live CD handles stuff? [02:06] no idea [02:07] I suppose they show that message each time you change anything [02:08] The "live session user" account is not listed among others in "Users and Groups". May be it starts fresh each time. :-/ [02:26] Y'ello [02:33] hello, I could use some help. How do I change my screen depth in xubuntu 9.04? [02:35] It seems the users here are rather... inactive [02:36] I'd help you, Pato, but I'm completely new to Xubuntu. I've got problems of my own! [02:37] ok, i'm also new to xubuntu, any help is welcomed [02:38] yep, it seems it's not the time for answers right now, I'll come back later [02:38] Maybe that would be best.

I could hide 1 dictionary adding NoDisplay=true and now How do i hide or remove the another dictionay that it´s in Office folder ? [03:59] same way [04:00] wait [04:01] you can probably find which file it is by running 'grep -i dictionary /usr/share/applications/*' in a terminal [04:12] TheSheep [04:13] ? [04:17] TheSheep ??? [04:18] * TheSheep patiently waits for a meaningful conversation [04:18] ok [04:19] In this pc I don`t have dictionary in the office folder. In this computer I have AbiWord [04:23] I do this in terminal: grep -i abiword /usr/share/applications and I don`t see any result [04:36] you missed the asterisk [04:36] ok [04:36] wait please [04:37] Hi people, bit of a problem I was hoping I could get some help with [04:38] I've got a computer that's roughly ten years old and some obscure old video card in it providing, well, the video. I'd like to get a driver for it to potentially speed up my computer here, but one doesn't seem to exist for it. Any ideas on what I should do? [04:41] It`s worked thesheep but there are many AbiWord [04:43] TheSheep ?? [04:44] Carlis: at least you only have few files to chec know [04:45] to check ??? [04:50] Can u explain me a little bit more TheSheep ?? [04:51] I don`t knwo what do i have to check. There many AbiWord. Which one do i have to check ??? [04:53] Carlis: it shows you the names of the files before the : [04:59] wait [05:02] In AbiWord I have added: NoDisplay=true and don`t hide the AbiWord in Office folder why TheShepp ? [05:34] I already understood TheSheep [05:35] Thank you for your help [05:35] Bye TheSheep === rocksleeping is now known as Syrius [08:01] For some reason, VirtualBox starts up automatically everytime. I can not find where this is coming from - I have checked the settings GUI, ~/.config/autostart, how can I track down why this is happening? [08:15] ushimitsudoki: delete ~/.cache/sessions [08:16] TheSheep: alright I will give it a try! [08:16] and make sure you disable the 'save session' checkbox when logging out [08:17] TheSheep: A winner is you! :) Thanks! [08:17] and make sure you disable the 'save session' checkbox when logging out [08:18] Cool - I did that, but I must have had an old saved session or something in there from a while back. One step closer to XFCE perfection! [08:20] ushimitsudoki: ssessions are somewhat obnoxious [08:21] TheSheep: I don't have a need for them, but I suppose some people do. I never came across that .cache directory in all my searching about autostarting programs and sessions, though I understand it now that it has been pointed out to me [11:28] guys, need help!. my panel gone missing both the top and bottom! help anyone??

[11:34] It shouldn't, if it does, you can add it to Autostarted Applications in the Settings Manager [11:36] where is that autostarted application and 1 more thing, why is it so laggy? must i install all 75 update on first start up? [11:37] Applications->Settings->Settings Manager [11:37] And yes, if you've just installed Xubuntu, it's recommended to install all updates [11:37] I think you need graphicscard-driver, mib_iaecb3sx.

[17:45] I am trying right now [17:47] I had the problem about the lack of microphone support earlier, but it never seemed important enough to keep trying after like 1 hour until now [17:56] there is a torrent for the last xubuntu,right?

[19:05] MalfermitaKodo, whats wrong? [19:05] I can playback sound but not record something [19:06] I tried to install the most recent ALSA as was recommended in the Ubuntu Wiki [19:07] I tried to set the right option in modprobe.d/options, but no success [19:07] MalfermitaKodo, have you un-muted the mic in xfce-mixer? [19:07] in Aslamixer [19:07] *alsamixer [19:08] but since 9.04 doesnt use alsamixer...look into xfce4-mixer [19:09] how can I re-install network manager from cd? [19:09] vidd: I am on 8.10 [19:10] and I do not understand xfce4-mixer [19:10] it does not seem to be muted [19:10] basajaun, first, edit your sources to only look at the cd [19:10] then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install [insert program name here] [19:11] MalfermitaKodo, since you are using 8.10, disregard that comment [19:11] ok vidd thanks will try I just sabotaged my wife's laptop connection.... so [19:12] MalfermitaKodo, did you read the page about HDA intel ? [19:12] I read the aspire one page [19:12] basajaun, install wicd .... its better then NM IMO [19:13] MalfermitaKodo, in xfce4-mixer.... [19:13] show the switches.... [19:13] what does "Mic Select" say? [19:13] MalfermitaKodo, what kind of aspire ? [19:14] SiDi, he has the aspire one netbook [19:14] Model ZGS [19:14] MalfermitaKodo, what does the mic select say? [19:14] It only shows Front Mic [19:15] vidd sorry? [19:15] MalfermitaKodo, hm got no data on this [19:15] do not uderstand wicd? [19:15] still, check the HDA intel page MalfermitaKodo its a good tutorial for sound and laptops [19:15] basajaun, mind retelling what your problem is please ? [19:15] basajaun, there is an application "wicd" that is a much better (In My Opinion) application for network management then Network Manager [19:16] SiDi: Link? [19:17] !hda [19:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about hda [19:17] pff [19:17] !intel hda [19:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about intel hda [19:17] ah ok vidd [19:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [19:18] MalfermitaKodo, when you right-click the panel app for the volume control....select properties....what does it say in "Device"? [19:20] default [19:21] MalfermitaKodo, THAT is the cause of your issue [19:21] hit that drop down and select your equiptment! [19:22] how does that change anything? it still shows the same controls at the same levels [19:22] the controls are now controling your hardware...instead of virtual hardware [19:22] the switches for the input source still have the same option: Front Mic [19:23] errr, playbacck works as does controlling the sound [19:23] is your mic working? [19:24] MalfermitaKodo, there should be 2 mic sources... [19:24] "front mic" is the mic built into your webcam (if you have one) [19:25] vidd: There aren't 2 sources, just one [19:25] and you should have a second mic source....from the mic plug [19:25] and, no, no success [19:25] when you hit the drop-down....what was the second option>? [19:25] which one? [19:25] vidd it doesn't work [19:25] for "Device" [19:26] basajaun, what does not work? [19:26] #0: HDA Intel [19:26] MalfermitaKodo, what line did you add to the file? [19:27] just the cd as source and apt-get update nessage is couldn't resolve security.ubuntu.com [19:28] to modprobe.d/options ? [19:28] "options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire" [19:29] basajaun, did you open /etc/apt/sources.lst? [19:29] honnestly [19:29] there are many inbuilt mics that just dont work [19:29] its imo the main hardware compatibility issue at the moment [19:29] no [19:29] SiDi: neither does an external one [19:29] basajaun, that is why [19:29] thats more annoying :) [19:30] you need to add # to the front of every line except the cd [19:30] I want to be able to use Voip to call my parents when I'll be in England [19:30] ok vidd [19:38] etc doesn contain reference to cd although I have it in sofware sources [19:42] vidd no ref to cd in source list.d [19:42] add one? [19:43] syntax? [19:43] just a sec [19:44] This is what mine says: deb cdrom:[Xubuntu 8.04.1 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080702.1)]/ hardy main restricted [19:45] ok thanks [19:47] * MalfermitaKodo tried to upgrade alsa-utils and got an error during make: /bin/bash: xmlto: command not found [19:47] software sources says installable from cd rom blabla but it still doesn work [19:48] basajaun, then do this: [19:49] get the .deb file and install it that way [19:49] fooo! [19:49] this is why i recommended wicd b4 [19:49] I just realized... why does my xubuntu say it is a 8.04? [19:50] MalfermitaKodo, the cd rom in your sources? [19:50] yeah [19:50] because that was the cd you installed from [19:50] heh...mine says "dapper" [19:51] (thats 6.06) [19:51] ah [19:51] the rest of your sources SHOULD say "intrepid" [19:52] but vidd I can connect to the net from the other machine and therefore can not get the file unless I download apackage from ny macine [19:52] you cant download the file, put it on a usb drive and bring it to the crippled machine? [19:53] basajaun, belay that.... [19:53] how does that machine connect to the internet? wired or wireless? [19:54] the crippled one is on wireless mine is on wire [19:54] basajaun, can you get that other machine wired? [19:54] I just need to find the package [19:55] but network manager will still be missing....even if I wire the poor thing [19:56] basajaun, if you wire the poor thing, you hard-code it to connect [19:56] fooooo! [19:56] you can connect to the network trough terminal if you want [19:56] and another failed dependency for compilation [19:56] * MalfermitaKodo feels like in the 'good' old S.u.S.E. 6.0 era [20:00] basajaun, does your /etc/network/interfaces file look like http://pastebin.com/d69c36dd2 [20:00] (on the crippled machine) [20:01] bbl [20:05] Hard-code? [20:05] hell nothing works [20:06] did you look at my link and compare your file to mine? [20:07] [20:07] just a min vidd [20:07] alas, even upgrading alsa-util and alsa-lib didn't work [20:08] MalfermitaKodo, should got a ubuntu-based netbook from dell =] [20:09] Dell? /me restrains self from comment [20:09] have you considered restoring it, taking it back and getting a linux-freindly device? =] [20:10] no, since I bought her in November [20:10] and it ran Linux originally [20:10] MalfermitaKodo, if it ran linux originally...what's the issue? [20:11] (or should i say WHICH linux did it run originally) [20:11] This crappy restricted one... it didn't even let me use an acceptable terminal [20:12] no idea how it is called [20:12] I repressed every memory of the horrible 30 minutes with it which Xubuntu took to download [20:13] MalfermitaKodo, i KNOW this is going to sound evil and make you cringe.... [20:13] did the mic work then? [20:14] I didn't try it [20:14] I couldn't actually use that one well since all fonts were unreadably small [20:15] (for a visually impaired Malfy) [20:15] wait... let me get its installation CD [20:15] did it come with a "restore" disk? [20:16] can xfce display files that are saved on the desktop (in ~/Desktop)? [20:16] th0r, of cource [20:16] that is...can it display icons on the screen for them [20:16] yes [20:16] that is the default setting [20:17] vidd: somehow I have lost that and would like to get it back. Any idea where I might have screwed it up? [20:17] vidd: yes, but I can't seem to find it [20:17] MalfermitaKodo, try dl'ing it from thier site [20:17] they might have some proprietary diver [20:18] th0r, you have files located in /hom/[user]/Desktop and there are no icons on the screen? [20:18] vidd: just found it.... [20:18] errr... but.... you do not want me to actually restore it?!?!?! [20:19] vidd: under applications-settings-desktop...the icons tab. [20:19] MalfermitaKodo, no...if there is a custom proprietary driver, install JUST THE DRIVER [20:19] th0r, so...to answer my question above....no? [20:20] vidd: right...I had files in the Desktop folder but they did not show on the desktop. [20:20] vidd: don't know how they got turned off....and searching google the past hour or so has been an exercise in frustration [20:21] Okay, the Linux is called Linpus Lite [20:21] vidd: I found how to turn on/off the trashbin, home, file system, but not the files in Desktop [20:21] th0r, "rm ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/iconscreen0.rc" [20:22] then log out (dont save settings) and log back in [20:22] vidd many thanks wired it connected downloaded and it connect you saved me from a spell in the dog house lol [20:22] hehe...no problem [20:22] MalfermitaKodo, thanks [20:22] bye folks [20:22] goodbye! [20:23] basajaun, most times, eth0 is hard coded (like my pastebin) and is therefore not controled by NM at all [20:25] gah! Can I please hunt down whoever designed the Linpus site and cut off his hands so he won't repeat his crimes?! [20:25] MalfermitaKodo, unfortunantly...NO...we need him to work on the new M$ Windows 7 site! [20:26] =] [20:26] :) [20:26] lol* [20:26] but... bad webdesigners sem to grow on trees [20:27] no...there are not that many trees left anymore! [20:27] good point [20:28] well, I don't see anything about the drivers Linpus uses [20:28] then you might need to restore it =[ [20:29] nooooooooooooooooo!
