[00:26] <unitxt> 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] <TheSheep> unitxt: screen
[00:27] <unitxt> screen?
[00:27] <TheSheep> yes
[00:27] <unitxt> hmm, ok
[00:28] <TheSheep> http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/a-quick-tutorial-on-screen/
[00:31] <unitxt> 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] <ron_o> wow, power keeps going out at me house and my UPS picks up on it 10 seconds before..
[00:36] <ron_o> amazing.
[00:39] <TheSheep> unitxt: btw, you can open several files in vim
[01:12] <unitxt> 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] <unitxt> Still looking @ screen...I am doing something 'silly' as it's not working for me yet...I'll keep reading though...
[01:26] <TheSheep> unitxt: you can
[01:26] <TheSheep> unitxt: join #vim to meet some experts in the field :)
[01:28] <unitxt> TheSheep: thanks!...will do...
[01:37] <unitxt> 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] <TheSheep> unitxt: you also can detach it and leave running on a server overnight
[01:43] <Haffi_> 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] <Haffi_> 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] <Haffi_> does the network manager change /etc/interfaces directly or is the configuration stored elsewhere?
[01:46] <TheSheep> I think it talks to the system directly through HAL
[01:47] <Saad_> I am running Xubuntu 8.10 live CD and cannot manage to find a way to switch the interface language to Urdu. Any help?
[01:48] <unitxt> 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] <M_Saad> 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] <TheSheep> M_Saad: you get an error?
[01:54] <TheSheep> M_Saad: note that if the translations are not complete, untranslated parts will stay English
[01:55] <M_Saad> I dont get an option for Urdu on the login screen.
[01:56] <M_Saad> I even installed all packages available for Urdu. Even though the translation of Xfce was already available in /usr/share/locale
[01:57] <TheSheep> M_Saad: maybe editing ~/.dmrc manually will help
[01:57] <TheSheep> M_Saad: select some other language at login, and change it in .dmrc to Urdu
[01:59] <M_Saad> What is the syntax?
[02:00] <TheSheep> M_Saad: I don't know, that's why I suggested to change it to some other language first
[02:00] <TheSheep> M_Saad: to see an example
[02:00] <M_Saad> OK
[02:04] <M_Saad> Thanks! It worked.
[02:06] <M_Saad> 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] <TheSheep> no idea
[02:07] <TheSheep> I suppose they show that message each time you change anything
[02:08] <M_Saad> The "live session user" account is not listed among others in "Users and Groups". May be it starts fresh each time. :-/
[02:26] <Procrasticus> Y'ello
[02:33] <Pato> hello, I could use some help. How do I change my screen depth in xubuntu 9.04?
[02:35] <Procrasticus> It seems the users here are rather... inactive
[02:36] <Procrasticus> I'd help you, Pato, but I'm completely new to Xubuntu. I've got problems of my own!
 ok, i'm also new to xubuntu, any help is welcomed
[02:38] <Pato> yep, it seems it's not the time for answers right now, I'll come back later
[02:38] <Procrasticus> Maybe that would be best.

[03:56] <Carlis> Hi I had 2 dictionary in Office folder. 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] <TheSheep> same way
[04:00] <Carlis> wait
[04:01] <TheSheep> you can probably find which file it is by running 'grep -i dictionary /usr/share/applications/*' in a terminal
[04:12] <Carlis> TheSheep
[04:13] <Carlis> ?
[04:17] <Carlis> TheSheep ???
[04:18]  * TheSheep patiently waits for a meaningful conversation
[04:18] <Carlis> ok
[04:19] <Carlis> In this pc I don`t have dictionary in the office folder. In this computer I have AbiWord
[04:23] <Carlis> I do this in terminal: grep -i abiword /usr/share/applications and I don`t see any result
[04:36] <TheSheep> you missed the asterisk
[04:36] <Carlis> ok
[04:36] <Carlis> wait please
[04:37] <Procrasticus> Hi people, bit of a problem I was hoping I could get some help with
[04:38] <Procrasticus> 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] <Carlis> It`s worked thesheep but there are many AbiWord
[04:43] <Carlis> TheSheep ??
[04:44] <TheSheep> Carlis: at least you only have few files to chec know
[04:45] <Carlis> to check  ???
[04:50] <Carlis> Can u explain me a little bit more TheSheep ??
[04:51] <Carlis> I don`t knwo what do i have to check. There many AbiWord. Which one do i have to check ???
[04:53] <TheSheep> Carlis: it shows you the names of the files before the :
[04:59] <Carlis> wait
[05:02] <Carlis> In AbiWord I have added: NoDisplay=true and don`t hide the AbiWord in Office folder why TheShepp ?
[05:34] <Carlis> I already understood TheSheep
[05:35] <Carlis> Thank you for your help
[05:35] <Carlis> Bye TheSheep
[08:01] <ushimitsudoki> 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] <TheSheep> ushimitsudoki: delete ~/.cache/sessions
[08:16] <ushimitsudoki> TheSheep: alright I will give it a try!
[08:16] <TheSheep> and make sure you disable the 'save session' checkbox when logging out
[08:17] <ushimitsudoki> TheSheep: A winner is you! :) Thanks!
[08:17] <TheSheep> and make sure you disable the 'save session' checkbox when logging out
[08:18] <ushimitsudoki> 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] <TheSheep> ushimitsudoki: ssessions are somewhat obnoxious
[08:21] <ushimitsudoki> 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] <mib_iaecb3sx> guys, need help!. my panel gone missing both the top and bottom! help anyone??
[11:28] <vinnl> mib_iaecb3sx, press Alt+F2, run "xfce4-panel"
[11:29] <mib_iaecb3sx> click dun in terminal?
[11:29] <mib_iaecb3sx> run*
[11:29] <vinnl> mib_iaecb3sx, no
[11:30] <mib_iaecb3sx> fail to execute child process "xface-panel" (no such file of directory)
[11:30] <Slonkie> type it correctly
[11:31] <Slonkie> it's xfce4-panel
[11:31] <mib_iaecb3sx> oh

[11:31] <mib_iaecb3sx> let me try again
[11:33] <mib_iaecb3sx> will it disappear again after i restart?
[11:34] <vinnl> It shouldn't, if it does, you can add it to Autostarted Applications in the Settings Manager
[11:36] <mib_iaecb3sx> 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] <vinnl> Applications->Settings->Settings Manager
[11:37] <vinnl> And yes, if you've just installed Xubuntu, it's recommended to install all updates
[11:37] <Slonkie> I think you need graphicscard-driver, mib_iaecb3sx.
[11:38] <mib_iaecb3sx> slonkie, my hdd busy light is blinking fast as well
[11:38] <Slonkie> okay - i don't know then.
[11:41] <mib_iaecb3sx> oh.. ill try updating first!! if it dont work i ask again ya!! ^^

[12:41] <knome> !info openssh-server
[12:42] <knome> it is in main, so there should be no problems in installing
[12:42] <knome> sudo apt-get update to update your package lists
[12:42] <marli> grr why isnt that in the apt wiki
[12:43] <marli> screan full to fetch
[12:44] <marli> *failed to fetch
[12:44] <knome> looks like you have problems connecting
[12:45] <marli> huh?
[12:48] <knome> if it fails fetching
[12:48] <knome> it might be trying to use anoter internet connection for apt.-
[12:51] <marli> what otherinternet connection?
[12:52] <marli> ive been at thiis for five days and my sarcasim valve is at max at the mo
[12:53] <marli> sod this im sting on XP!
[12:53] <marli> ...sorry im just so frustrated
[12:57] <marli3> well sod me...this is sooo much more harder on linux

[13:01] <marli3> hello ive asked the question....any answers?
[13:02] <vinnl> Can you browse the web in Firefox?
[13:03] <marli3> yes...

[13:04] <vinnl> knome, that's edgy right?
[13:04] <marli3> yeah
[13:04] <vinnl> marli, openssh-server isn't available for edgy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openssh-server&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
[13:05] <marli3> WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 days and i can ssh into it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[13:05] <marli3> i need to remote in or its useless
[13:05] <vinnl> Hmm that's odd... Perhaps it was named differently or something?
[13:05] <vinnl> It appears to have been available, judging by http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.10_p3
[13:05] <vinnl> Ah wait
[13:06] <vinnl> Of course, 6.10 isn't supported anymore because it's that old
[13:06] <vinnl> Why are you running such an aging version?
[14:03] <marli> because its the ONLY distro i could get to install and that took 5 days
[14:30] <gsa1> Hi

[17:37] <MalfermitaKodo> Hi Xubuntistoj!
[17:37] <vinnl> !hi
[17:43] <MalfermitaKodo> Oh, I was about to ask whether the sound problems with the Aspire One were solved and lo and behold, I see the wiki page got an update for this
[17:43] <vinnl> ^.^
[17:45] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, so did they get solved?
[17:45] <MalfermitaKodo> I am trying right now
[17:47] <MalfermitaKodo> 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] <mariano|syzygy> there is a torrent for the last xubuntu,right?
[17:56] <vidd> yes
[17:56] <vidd> !download
[17:56] <MalfermitaKodo> !torrents
[17:57] <mariano|syzygy> thanks
[17:59] <mariano|syzygy> those pages are quite confusing :/
[18:24] <Slonkie> WHat do you mean by confusing, mariano|syzygy ?
[18:25] <mariano|syzygy> to get a link for the torrent one has to go through several pages, which look like one is doing ftp :)
[18:25] <Slonkie> http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[18:25] <Slonkie> oh sorry
[18:25] <mariano|syzygy> I did get to it
[18:25] <Slonkie> that was ubunt
[18:26] <Slonkie> Oh all right.
[18:36] <basajaun> ubuntu
[18:37] <Slonkie> Huh?
[18:37] <basajaun> error
[18:37] <basajaun> sorry
[18:42] <MalfermitaKodo> bbl
[18:52] <MalfermitaKodo> hi
[18:52] <vidd> hello MalfermitaKodo
[18:54] <MalfermitaKodo> gah!
[18:54] <MalfermitaKodo> no success with making the mic work on my Aspire one
[18:57] <MalfermitaKodo> fooooo! misread something
[18:57] <MalfermitaKodo> bbl
[19:04]  * MalfermitaKodo is at Witt's end now
[19:05] <MalfermitaKodo> Has someone made the mic work on an Aspire One or knows how that works?
[19:05] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, whats wrong?
[19:05] <MalfermitaKodo> I can playback sound but not record something
[19:06] <MalfermitaKodo> I tried to install the most recent ALSA as was recommended in the Ubuntu Wiki
[19:07] <MalfermitaKodo> I tried to set the right option in modprobe.d/options, but no success
[19:07] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, have you un-muted the mic in xfce-mixer?
[19:07] <MalfermitaKodo> in Aslamixer
[19:07] <MalfermitaKodo> *alsamixer
[19:08] <vidd> but since 9.04 doesnt use alsamixer...look into xfce4-mixer
[19:09] <basajaun> how can I re-install network manager from cd?
[19:09] <MalfermitaKodo> vidd: I am on 8.10
[19:10] <MalfermitaKodo> and I do not understand xfce4-mixer
[19:10] <MalfermitaKodo> it does not seem to be muted
[19:10] <vidd> basajaun, first, edit your sources to only look at the cd
[19:10] <vidd> then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install [insert program name here]
[19:11] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, since you are using 8.10, disregard that comment
[19:11] <basajaun> ok vidd thanks will try I just sabotaged my wife's  laptop connection.... so
[19:12] <SiDi> MalfermitaKodo, did you read the page about HDA intel ?
[19:12] <MalfermitaKodo> I read the aspire one page
[19:12] <vidd> basajaun, install wicd .... its better then NM IMO
[19:13] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, in xfce4-mixer....
[19:13] <vidd> show the switches....
[19:13] <vidd> what does "Mic Select" say?
[19:13] <SiDi> MalfermitaKodo, what kind of aspire ?
[19:14] <vidd> SiDi, he has the aspire one netbook
[19:14] <MalfermitaKodo> Model ZGS
[19:14] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, what does the mic select say?
[19:14] <MalfermitaKodo> It only shows Front Mic
[19:15] <basajaun> vidd sorry?
[19:15] <SiDi> MalfermitaKodo, hm got no data on this
[19:15] <basajaun> do not uderstand wicd?
[19:15] <SiDi> still, check the HDA intel page MalfermitaKodo its a good tutorial for sound and laptops
[19:15] <SiDi> basajaun, mind retelling what your problem is please ?
[19:15] <vidd> basajaun, there is an application "wicd" that is a much better (In My Opinion) application for network management then Network Manager
[19:16] <MalfermitaKodo> SiDi: Link?
[19:17] <SiDi> !hda
[19:17] <SiDi> pff
[19:17] <SiDi> !intel hda
[19:17] <basajaun> ah  ok   vidd
[19:17] <SiDi> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[19:18] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, when you right-click the panel app for the volume control....select properties....what does it say in "Device"?
[19:20] <MalfermitaKodo> default
[19:21] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, THAT is the cause of your issue
[19:21] <vidd> hit that drop down and select your equiptment!
[19:22] <MalfermitaKodo> how does that change anything? it still shows the same controls at the same levels
[19:22] <vidd> the controls are now controling your hardware...instead of virtual hardware
[19:22] <MalfermitaKodo> the switches for the input source still have the same option: Front Mic
[19:23] <MalfermitaKodo> errr, playbacck works as does controlling the sound
[19:23] <vidd> is your mic working?
[19:24] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, there should be 2 mic sources...
[19:24] <vidd> "front mic" is the mic built into your webcam (if you have one)
[19:25] <MalfermitaKodo> vidd: There aren't 2 sources, just one
[19:25] <vidd> and you should have a second mic source....from the mic plug
[19:25] <MalfermitaKodo> and, no, no success
[19:25] <vidd> when you hit the drop-down....what was the second option>?
[19:25] <MalfermitaKodo> which one?
[19:25] <basajaun> vidd it doesn't work
[19:25] <vidd> for "Device"
[19:26] <vidd> basajaun, what does not work?
[19:26] <MalfermitaKodo> #0: HDA Intel
[19:26] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, what line did you add to the file?
[19:27] <basajaun> just the cd as source and apt-get update nessage is couldn't resolve  security.ubuntu.com
[19:28] <MalfermitaKodo> to modprobe.d/options ?
[19:28] <MalfermitaKodo> "options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire"
[19:29] <vidd> basajaun, did you open /etc/apt/sources.lst?
[19:29] <SiDi> honnestly
[19:29] <SiDi> there are many inbuilt mics that just dont work
[19:29] <SiDi> its imo the main hardware compatibility issue at the moment
[19:29] <basajaun> no
[19:29] <MalfermitaKodo> SiDi: neither does an external one
[19:29] <vidd> basajaun, that is why
[19:29] <SiDi> thats more annoying :)
[19:30] <vidd> you need to add # to the front of every line except the cd
[19:30] <MalfermitaKodo> I want to be able to use Voip to call my parents when I'll be in England
[19:30] <basajaun> ok vidd
[19:38] <basajaun> etc  doesn contain reference to cd  although I have it in sofware sources
[19:42] <basajaun> vidd  no ref to cd in source list.d
[19:42] <MalfermitaKodo> add one?
[19:43] <basajaun> syntax?
[19:43] <MalfermitaKodo> just a sec
[19:44] <MalfermitaKodo> This is what mine says: deb cdrom:[Xubuntu 8.04.1 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080702.1)]/ hardy main restricted
[19:45] <basajaun> ok thanks
[19:47]  * MalfermitaKodo tried to upgrade alsa-utils and got an error during make: /bin/bash: xmlto: command not found
[19:47] <basajaun> software sources  says installable from cd rom blabla but it still doesn work
[19:48] <vidd> basajaun, then do this:
[19:49] <vidd> get the .deb file and install it that way
[19:49] <MalfermitaKodo> fooo!
[19:49] <vidd> this is why i recommended wicd b4
[19:49] <MalfermitaKodo> I just realized... why does my xubuntu say it is a 8.04?
[19:50] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, the cd rom in your sources?
[19:50] <MalfermitaKodo> yeah
[19:50] <vidd> because that was the cd you installed from
[19:50] <vidd> heh...mine says "dapper"
[19:51] <vidd> (thats 6.06)
[19:51] <MalfermitaKodo> ah
[19:51] <vidd> the rest of your sources SHOULD say "intrepid"
[19:52] <basajaun> 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] <vidd> you cant download the file, put it on a usb drive and bring it to the crippled machine?
[19:53] <vidd> basajaun, belay that....
[19:53] <vidd> how does that machine connect to the internet? wired or wireless?
[19:54] <basajaun> the crippled one is on wireless mine is on wire
[19:54] <vidd> basajaun, can you get that other machine wired?
[19:54] <basajaun> I just need to find the package
[19:55] <basajaun> but network manager will still be missing....even if I wire the poor thing
[19:56] <vidd> basajaun, if you wire the poor thing, you hard-code it to connect
[19:56] <MalfermitaKodo> fooooo!
[19:56] <Slonkie> you can connect to the network trough terminal if you want
[19:56] <MalfermitaKodo> and another failed dependency for compilation
[19:56]  * MalfermitaKodo feels like in the 'good' old S.u.S.E. 6.0 era
[20:00] <vidd> basajaun, does your /etc/network/interfaces file look like http://pastebin.com/d69c36dd2
[20:00] <vidd> (on the crippled machine)
[20:01] <MalfermitaKodo> bbl
[20:05] <basajaun> Hard-code?
[20:05] <basajaun> hell nothing works
[20:06] <vidd> did you look at my link and compare your file to mine?
[20:07] <MalfermitaKodo> <long string of ASCII characters>
[20:07] <basajaun> just a min vidd
[20:07] <MalfermitaKodo> alas, even upgrading alsa-util and alsa-lib didn't work
[20:08] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, should got a ubuntu-based netbook from dell =]
[20:09] <MalfermitaKodo> Dell? /me restrains self from comment
[20:09] <vidd> have you considered restoring it, taking it back and getting a linux-freindly device? =]
[20:10] <MalfermitaKodo> no, since I bought her in November
[20:10] <MalfermitaKodo> and it ran Linux originally
[20:10] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, if it ran linux originally...what's the issue?
[20:11] <vidd> (or should i say WHICH linux did it run originally)
[20:11] <MalfermitaKodo> This crappy restricted one... it didn't even let me use an acceptable terminal
[20:12] <MalfermitaKodo> no idea how it is called
[20:12] <MalfermitaKodo> I repressed every memory of the horrible 30 minutes with it which Xubuntu took to download
[20:13] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, i KNOW this is going to sound evil and make you cringe....
[20:13] <vidd> did the mic work then?
[20:14] <MalfermitaKodo> I didn't try it
[20:14] <MalfermitaKodo> I couldn't actually use that one well since all fonts were unreadably small
[20:15] <MalfermitaKodo> (for a visually impaired Malfy)
[20:15] <MalfermitaKodo> wait... let me get its installation CD
[20:15] <vidd> did it come with a "restore" disk?
[20:16] <th0r> can xfce display files that are saved on the desktop (in ~/Desktop)?
[20:16] <vidd> th0r, of cource
[20:16] <th0r> that is...can it display icons on the screen for them
[20:16] <vidd> yes
[20:16] <vidd> that is the default setting
[20:17] <th0r> vidd: somehow I have lost that and would like to get it back. Any idea where I might have screwed it up?
[20:17] <MalfermitaKodo> vidd: yes, but I can't seem to find it
[20:17] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, try dl'ing it from thier site
[20:17] <vidd> they might have some proprietary diver
[20:18] <vidd> th0r, you have files located in /hom/[user]/Desktop and there are no icons on the screen?
[20:18] <th0r> vidd: just found it....
[20:18] <MalfermitaKodo> errr... but.... you do not want me to actually restore it?!?!?!
[20:19] <th0r> vidd: under applications-settings-desktop...the icons tab.
[20:19] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, no...if there is a custom proprietary driver, install JUST THE DRIVER
[20:19] <vidd> th0r, so...to answer my question above....no?
[20:20] <th0r> vidd: right...I had files in the Desktop folder but they did not show on the desktop.
[20:20] <th0r> vidd: don't know how they got turned off....and searching google the past hour or so has been an exercise in frustration <smile>
[20:21] <MalfermitaKodo> Okay, the Linux is called Linpus Lite
[20:21] <th0r> vidd: I found how to turn on/off the trashbin, home, file system, but not the files in Desktop
[20:21] <vidd> th0r, "rm ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/iconscreen0.rc"
[20:22] <vidd> then log out (dont save settings) and log back in
[20:22] <basajaun> vidd many thanks wired it connected downloaded and it connect you saved me from a spell in the dog house lol
[20:22] <vidd> hehe...no problem
[20:22] <basajaun> MalfermitaKodo, thanks
[20:22] <basajaun> bye folks
[20:22] <MalfermitaKodo> goodbye!
[20:23] <vidd> basajaun, most times, eth0 is hard coded (like my pastebin) and is therefore not controled by NM at all
[20:25] <MalfermitaKodo> 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] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, unfortunantly...NO...we need him to work on the new M$ Windows 7 site!
[20:26] <vidd> =]
[20:26] <MalfermitaKodo> :)
[20:26] <MalfermitaKodo> lol*
[20:26] <MalfermitaKodo> but... bad webdesigners sem to grow on trees
[20:27] <vidd> no...there are not that many trees left anymore!
[20:27] <MalfermitaKodo> good point
[20:28] <MalfermitaKodo> well, I don't see anything about the drivers Linpus uses
[20:28] <vidd> then you might need to restore it =[
[20:29] <MalfermitaKodo> nooooooooooooooooo!
[20:29] <vidd> wait...did you go to the limpus site? or to acer's site?!?
[20:29] <MalfermitaKodo> Linpus
[20:29] <vidd> no! go to ACER's site
[20:29] <vidd> THEY would have the drivers
[20:31] <MalfermitaKodo> no
[20:31] <MalfermitaKodo> they just have flash
[20:32] <MalfermitaKodo> seriously has no one ever heard of accessable websites anymore?
[20:32] <vidd> mystery-meat navigation is all the rage now!
[20:33] <MalfermitaKodo> I want my Web 0.7 back!
[20:33] <MalfermitaKodo> Can't we uninvent flash and the IMG tag?!
[20:34] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, which acer1?
[20:34] <MalfermitaKodo> ZGS
[20:35] <vidd> hrm...thats not an option
[20:35] <MalfermitaKodo> that is what it says as model name on the backside of it
[20:35] <MalfermitaKodo> 8.9" screen
[20:35] <Slonkie> Isen't it just Acer Aspire One ?
[20:35] <MalfermitaKodo> Slonkie: there are different versions
[20:35] <Slonkie> oh sorry
[20:36] <MalfermitaKodo> let me find the marketing term
[20:36] <vidd> Slonkie, you made a funny! =]
[20:38] <MalfermitaKodo> the model with 8.9" screen and 8 GB SSD
[20:38] <vidd> hrm
[20:39] <MalfermitaKodo> somewhat deprecated, I guess
[20:45] <S0210> I put the "switch user" icon on the panel but the result is strange. If I change the user the hotkeys are dead... is it only in my case? Does anybody have similar problem?
[20:47] <vidd> S0210, did you customize the hotkeys?
[20:47] <MalfermitaKodo> I am actually considering to dis-upgrade
[20:47] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, i would
[20:48] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, 9.04 has better hardware support for newer equiptment
[20:48] <MalfermitaKodo> *dist
[20:48] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, i knew what ya ment =]
[20:49] <MalfermitaKodo> and why does it tell me that a new distro called 8.10 is available... did I only dist-upgrade sydi, not her?!
[20:50] <S0210> vidd: yes but not even Alt-F2 works...
[20:50] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, sounds like you "dist-upgrade" b4....but did not system upgrade
[20:50] <vidd> S0210, does alt-f2 work in 9.04?
[20:51] <vidd> S0210, copy the .file to the new user, and see if that helps any
[20:51] <S0210> vidd: I mean the don't work if I switch user2... but if I log out from user1 and log in to user2 then it's fine
[20:52] <MalfermitaKodo> and in other news... apparently there is no agreed-on term for distribution in Esperanto
[20:52] <vidd> then check launchpad to see if a bug is filed....
[20:52] <vidd> if not, file one
[20:52] <MalfermitaKodo> oh... and it tells me that I need much more diskspace for that
[20:52] <MalfermitaKodo> :eep:
[20:53] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, dunno
[20:53] <vidd> but if your running hardy, you will want to upgrade twice
[20:55] <MalfermitaKodo> I first need to free >1 GB diskspace
[20:55] <MalfermitaKodo> :o
[20:56] <S0210> re
[20:56] <vidd> then check launchpad to see if a bug is filed....
[20:56] <vidd> if not, file one
[20:56] <vidd> S0210, ^^
[20:56] <S0210> OK :-]
[20:58] <vidd> this printing only 15 pages at a time is for the birds =\
[20:59] <MalfermitaKodo> is there a way to deinstall all packages which were installed as dependency but are no longer used
[21:00] <vidd> MalfermitaKodo, yes

[21:00] <MalfermitaKodo> ty!
[21:01] <vidd> and if you want to remove application "foo", with its config files, and its dependencies, and thier config files....
[21:01] <vidd> sudo apt-get remove --purge foo

[21:18] <vidd> asdf-, all the *buntu's use ubuntu server as a server edition.....
