[01:26] where is "windows" stored on in a .wine installation on *ubuntu [01:30] Ahmuck_, "drive C:" is at ~/.wine/drive_c [01:31] nothing system wide? [01:32] nope? [01:32] if you mean where the wine *binaries* and *files* are located, that's a completely different story, but why would you like to know that... [01:41] any ideas on detecting an MCP79 high definition audio device? says driver should be hda intel, but gstreamer can't find it [01:42] how do I share a directory in xubuntu over my network? [01:44] windows or linux network [01:44] linux [01:44] xubuntu -> ubuntu [01:44] pteague, can you see the device in with "lspci" ? [01:44] slurpee, i'd recommend using ssh [01:45] slurpee, if you don't need to move *huge* amount of stuff. [01:45] i want to be able to view mp3 files [01:45] you mean listen to? [01:45] it seems stupid I can see another directory on another computer [01:45] or list the files [01:45] in ubuntu...I want to open a specific directory on my xubuntu machine [01:45] how do i do this? [01:46] slurpee, what are you trying to achieve? do you want to see the directory listing or do you want to *play* the files [01:46] both [01:47] for listening, i'd recommend looking at mpd [01:47] but i still recommend installing ssh server on the machine with the files [01:47] and connecting via ssh [01:47] !ssh [01:47] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. Putty is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [01:49] k i got it [01:49] thanx [01:49] ssh is the best way [01:49] !info openssh-server [01:49] openssh-server (source: openssh): secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In component main, is optional. Version 1:5.1p1-5ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 278 kB, installed size 764 kB [03:47] There's a lot of dated information about installing Ubuntu on PS3, but I managed to find the Xubuntu 9.04 Playstation 3 desktop CD and am downloading it. I'm unable to ascertain at this moment what exactly I'd do after having the PS3 create a 10G partition for Xubuntu [04:35] knome, because i'm on a ltsp system, and need gdiplus.dll in c:\windows [05:48] So, i just upgraded to jaunty, and now my firefox cannot go back or forward, and it will not save my history. I've tried removing with from the command line with the --purge swtich, and manually uninstalling through the synaptic gui. No matter what i do, the problem re appears when i intall again. what gives? [05:49] i googled and tried all solutions, still no joy. [05:50] :( [05:51] and to top it off, i have a pretty small penis. [05:57] i'm trying to use the remote desktop viewer packaged w/ xubuntu to see my desktop downstairs, but when i click on any thing, the image dosent refresh... how can i get it to [05:59] is the other comp running linux? [05:59] ya, ubuntu 9. whatever were on now [05:59] DDaygold: did you install vncserver on the downstairs desktop? [06:00] try turning off compiuz on the downstairs one. i had a similar prob and that solved it [06:00] also, set the client to refresh more often...its in there somewhere [06:01] th0r, no, i thought that the thing packaged with ubuntu would work [06:02] Roark, i do have compiuz running... where is that refresh option? [06:03] *compiz. not sure [06:03] but turn it off and it should refresh fine [06:06] k, its kinda late to eff around downstairs tho so i'll do it tomm. thanks alot... btw to disable compiz (thats what i thought it was but you know u confused me) i would just go into the 'appearance' settings menu and disabiling all the fun wiggling right? [06:07] th0r, does it need vncserver? [06:07] exactly. im no expert, but iwas using vnc on an iphone, and it wasnt refreshing...but everything was wine without desktop effects [06:07] *fine [06:07] DDaygold: vino is the vncserver in gnome...so if you installed it you have a vncserver. Vino is not installed by default in jaunty [06:07] sdorry, one hand...im jerking off to this weird ava devine vid [06:08] ruins my typong [06:08] DDaygold: what I was getting at was to determine how you are trying to access the downstairs computer (vnc, ssh -X, NX, ??) [06:15] Roark, LOLZ [06:16] her assyhole fell out. [06:16] it FELL OUT [06:16] wtf? [06:16] and she even says "oh yeah fuck me baby....ooooh my asshole fell out, and she just stuffs it back in and keeps going [06:16] that is nastay [06:16] so, have you disabled compiz? [06:18] i dont really want to go downstairs right now, seeing as my parents will prob kill me for being up a 12:20 [06:22] If you want your parents to stop hassling you, just go on a hunger strike. Make them worry. They will do what you want. Also, if you were to maybe poop on the kitchen floor mid-way through dinner, you may also manage to gain some leverage on them. You've got to keep them guessing. That's a winner's strategy. [06:23] So asnyway, all of the compiuz eye candy can be a bit much for your wifi. I'm guessing you are using 802.11b? G would surely be able to handle it. [06:25] hello? [06:25] Hello. [06:25] yay [06:25] someone is here [06:26] Where? [06:26] im new to using this [06:26] I am trying to get some help and I found the xubuntu one [06:27] anyway I am having some trouble with 9.04 [06:27] ok, shoot. [06:30] so whats the trouble? [06:30] i have compiz running and its working fine. I have the task list set to all workspaces. If i have a window selected (firefox) and then when i click a window that is on another workspace (another firefox or whatever) it doesnt do anything. it doesnt jump to the window on another workspace [06:30] oh no. [06:32] i know getting a little annoying. plus i cant seem to find the compiz thing that brings all the windows on the screen and float around to select [06:32] i forget what its called. [06:33] hold the windows key and tab [06:33] for that effect [06:33] also I played around with the number of workspaces and desktops [06:34] oh that one isn't bad but the one i am talking about brings them all flat, its like expose in mac [06:34] well, maybe you shoud go fuckyourself [06:34] how about that? [06:34] na [06:34] what do you think of that [06:34] im sorry...i have the devils curly hair [06:34] i didnt mean it [06:34] i dont know the answer [06:34] im googling it now [06:34] haha ok [06:35] but im not finding much [06:35] you fucking asshole. [06:35] :( [06:35] the effect ill figure out [06:35] dude [06:36] hmm i dont know [06:36] you should buy a new compyter [06:36] no [06:37] sorry...the last few msgs were someoneelse...being a jerk and stealing the kayboard [06:37] you should buy one [06:37] hahaha [06:37] so sorry about that [06:37] no problem [06:37] its this kid that lives here [06:38] im sure [06:38] i keep him in the basement. i took him [06:38] from a lady with nice boobies.

[06:40] yum [06:40] thats cool [06:40] ok so i guess ill come back when i can get some more help [06:41] i has another computer problem [06:41] so, anyway, go ahead and fire up your terminal, and type 'sudo compiz -w -t -f output -v -v system -q' [06:41] let me know what that tells you [06:41] wtf [06:42] ? [06:42] what's wrong? [06:42] that command seems goofy [06:42] it is [06:42] or made up [06:42] then dont do it. you asked for help [06:43] hey another person [06:43] the -v switches are for more verbosity, so it tells me more about hat is going on with your compiz [06:43] Roark what the fuck are you doing [06:43] ok shoot [06:43] ? [06:43] why are you all mad at me? Im so sorry. [06:43] :( [06:43] please dont hate me [06:44] i bring you love [06:44] maduser what are you doing [06:44] I'll help you with your problem [06:45] lol [06:45] lol wtf [06:45] he had troll writen all over him [06:45] even in his whois [06:46] oh ya [06:46] i assume that command was bad [06:47] yeah thats not a comand [06:47] figured [06:49] do you have the compiz setting manager installed [06:49] yes [06:49] and what is the problem [06:49] the task list doesnt work right [06:50] well, I'm not running compiz right now [06:50] but i'll take a look [06:51] is this it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/385685 [06:51] i have this chat window on one workspace, if i click a window in the task list taht is on another workspace it doesnt go there, it does nothing [06:53] no, though what is empathy [06:53] dunno, [06:53] does the key switchers work? [06:53] whats that [06:54] press ctrl+alt and move the mouse or use the keys on the keyboard [06:54] ya it jumps to another workspace [06:55] ok, so theres no issue compiz [06:55] if i dont have that window selected then it will jump to the other window on the other workspace [06:56] hmm [06:56] ya i think its xfce not working with compiz [06:57] also do you know the compiz window switcher that brings all the windows up and spreads them out like expose in mac os. i cant seem to find it again [06:58] workspace switcher? [06:59] i dont think so [07:00] ill find it, its not that important [07:00] my biggest problem is Open Sound System. [07:01] dont know if you know much about that [07:01] an alsa problem? [07:02] i know some stuff [07:03] no, I tried to switch to oss4 for better sound quality for my real nice sound card. osstest works, listen music player works but nothing else [07:04] I use alsa so i don't know [07:05] ok [07:05] i may go back to that. it seems that sound isnt linux's strong point [07:06] do you have any suggestions about these problems, like where to look [07:06] google [07:07] hahaok [07:07] well thanks for trying to help [07:07] i need to go sleep [08:05] I have problem with the "keyboard layout" settings. I set "hu" as default instead of the "us" but itforgets it after shutdown... Should I modify some config gile manually? [08:10] (i lost connection) [08:10] i try to boot from usb (with unetbootin) and get this on boot: "could not find kernel image linux". and i am in a terminal that greet me with "boot:". any ideas? [08:12] did you verify the image file? [08:12] with md5, yes. btw, it's xubuntu-alternate [08:13] btw, in the usb i see file called md5sum.txt. what is this? [08:15] that is the checksum for image verification [08:20] psycho_oreos: all i did is md5sum my_iso_file. and compared it to the one on xubuntu's site. [08:21] do i need to do something with the md5sum.txt? [08:21] shouldn't need to do anything with it [08:21] btw, i formatted my usb to 83 (linux). should it be FAT32? [08:21] (it's old ipod) [08:21] unetbootin I believe prefers fat32 [08:21] ipod won't work [08:22] psycho_oreos: even if it's formatted? [08:22] yes [08:22] do u know why? [08:22] when ipod boots up, it loads its own OS and what not, then it enables usb storage [08:23] meaning that the usb storage mode is emulated and thus may not work at bootable level [08:23] I believe you have asked this question awhile ago on another channel :p [08:23] psycho_oreos: i have heard about mac-fdisk. can it help? [08:23] no [08:23] its a problem at hardware level, period [08:23] psycho_oreos: wow, thanks for saving me hours... [08:24] go buy yourself an usb stick, will serve you well :p [08:24] psycho_oreos: will do, thank [08:24] thanks [08:25] nw [08:28] I have problem with the "keyboard layout" settings. I set "hu" as default instead of the "us" but itforgets it after restart... Should I modify some config file manually? [08:30] psycho_oreos: btw, if i buy big usb, will i be able to use it also for storage, or is it dedicated to my ubuntu/xubuntu install? [08:32] owen1_, no you can use it as storage.. I have a 32GB usb, I first use unetbootin to create whatever iso file I want it bootable on usb and then resize that whole partition so I get the remaining (of course unetbootin prefers fat32 and the second partition could be ext3 for example) to use as storage [08:35] csongor, not quite sure how to do it ubuntu's way but xorg.conf is the file I think [08:35] psycho_oreos: got it. every 6 months i might change to newer version of xubuntu, do i need to resize it or can i override the partition with the previous ubuntu? [08:37] owen1_, you can overwrite the previous ubuntu on that stick but when you first resize the fat32 partition, don't resize it to really small partition, give maybe 6 gigs so that it would have room to grow should you want to make knoppix-dvd for example bootable on usb [08:38] wow. knoppix requires so much space? [08:38] probably better idea is to format before new bootable usb stick install on that fat32 or unetbootin will complain about files that are on the stick under fat32 [08:39] not really, I think knoppix dvd stands at around 3-4 gigs [08:39] do remember that amount is in its compressed form, much like ubuntu's casper setup [08:40] so before i override the ubuntu, i should reformat to FAT32 [08:41] yes before every new install I reckon reformat is ideal [08:41] do u use gparted for this? [08:41] its more faster than rm -rf anyway [08:41] yup [08:44] awesome [08:48] anyone got cdemu to work well under xubuntu jaunty? [08:57] any idea why wmweather+ isn't reporting weather anymore? it was working, but not it's just giving 'no data' [08:57] firewall? [08:57] i haven't changed anything on the firewall [08:58] check the remote host to see if the remote host is giving any outputs [08:59] like with lsof -i [09:02] lsof -i only shows my ssh connection to another computer [09:02] hmm... & also shows my computer's current name as ubuntu... how do i change that? [09:06] hostname [09:14] i did a whois on 'thisshouldhopefullynotexistatall.com & got a reply that that domain does not exist... using nslookup to find out info about it gives me my external ip address... forcibly using my isp's ip address to do the nslookup gives me my external ip address... using traceroute on that dns shows going out past my router [09:14] maybe that's why wmweather+ isn't working... they've rerouted where whatever it's trying to connect to back to me <.< [09:38] yesterday i've tried devilspie to map applications to desks; now i have serious trouble to see any desk the proper way; any alternatives for devilspie (i removed it allready)? [09:50] i really like awesome as window manager, but also want to enjoy the goodies of xfce. did anyone here managed to make awesome work nicely with it? [13:31] is it easy to specify when a given user can and can not log in? [13:37] <_Pete_> MrNaz: usermod -L [13:37] <_Pete_> man usermod === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [14:45] _Pete_ so i assume I use that with cron ? is there no other way to do it ? [14:46] i.e., there's no way within the user management mechanisms to do it? [14:59] <_Pete_> usermod and other cmds are management mechanisms [14:59] <_Pete_> or what do you mean? [15:49] heya [18:43] Gentleman how can i change window manager? [18:44] I am using 9.04 by the way. [18:49] plz any1 tell me how to add a launcer in the applications menu [18:49] om26er: what version of Xubuntu? [18:49] jaunty [18:49] 9.04 [18:50] 2. [for 4.6] You can also create desktop entries in '~/.local/share/applications' to override the existing applications (change or hide) or add new ones. [18:50] or http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu [18:50] If you place the .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications, it will be picked up when you log out/log in again [18:56] charlie-tca: plz help i cannot understand the link u gave me [18:57] How can i change window manager? [18:57] poopuser: what window manager are you using now, and which one do you want to run? [18:58] th0r, default xfce4 now and i want to switch to 9wm. [18:59] poopuser: I think 'sudo killall xfwm4 && 9wm'...but I am not sure about the 9wm. [19:00] poopuser: if 9wm is a complete wm it will be in the Sessions list. Try logging out, and before you log in again click on Sessions on the login screen and see if 9wm is in the list [19:00] th0r, I have already checked that - it is not. [19:01] poopuser: just a sec [19:03] poopuser ok...try that command line...and here is the 9wm man page if you want to tinker with the command http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/9wm.1.html [19:04] Well thx th0r but i was looking something more universal like 'how to change wm's in xubuntu' [19:05] poopuser: once you have changed the wm, just save the new session at logout and that should make the change 'permanent' [19:07] Thx again th0r. Can you tell me where can i find line that i responsible for invoking the xfce wm? [19:07] poopuser: I don't know how you would do it otherwise, but I love compiz, so I installed the compiz-fusion icon and its dependencies. There is an option if you right click on the icon in the notification area to change WMs. [19:07] Dunno if that helps at all. [19:08] how to install gnome windows manager and remove xfwm [19:08] poopuser: there is no line for that...it is part of the saved session. I think it is saved as .xsession someplace in ~/.local if I remember right. But those session files are not editable....or edible...you just save a new session [19:08] unable to boot into a xubuntu live cd [19:08] KittyKatt, no but thx for the effort <3 [19:08] amd64 system [19:08] om26er: go into Thunar (places), click on your name, Then click on .local [19:08] then click on share [19:09] om26er: gnome's default wm is metacity...just type 'killall xfwm4 && metacity' in a terminal [19:09] then click on applications [19:09] can anyone help with this one? [19:09] If it doesn't exist, use File -> Create Folder and create it [19:09] Then copy a file from /usr/share/applications to there and modify it for the application you want to add to the menu [19:10] om26er: don't forget to save your session at logout so it comes back in metacity and not xfwm4 [19:10] orthodoc_: Which live cd [19:10] th0r: ok [19:10] * KittyKatt uses emerald..... [19:10] xubuntu live cd for 64 bit systems [19:10] version? [19:10] * KittyKatt is a bit out of his depth here [19:10] charlie-tca, 9.04 [19:11] and it won't boot? Did it pass the cd check? [19:11] Going to a friend's house. Bringing laptop. Be back in a bit. [19:11] won't allow me to do that as well! [19:11] explain that please [19:12] charlie-tca, erratic... [19:12] It won't even boot to the cd? [19:12] Sounds like a bad burn, then [19:12] charlie-tca, correct [19:12] did you set the bios to boot to cd first? [19:12] charlie-tca, no becasue it did boot into it once and was able to install xubuntu [19:12] th0r: i got this message [19:12] Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager [19:13] charlie-tca, but thereafter no more of booting either into the cd or the hard drive [19:13] So try setting it in bios, first. If it still won't boot to it, you have a bad disc or cd-drive [19:13] om26er: just a sec...let me check [19:13] charlie-tca, in the verbose mode it stops at :PCI: VIA PCI bridge detected. Disabling DAC [19:14] pci 0000:00:10:4: EHCI: unrecognised capability 00 [19:14] charlie-tca, like i said i was able to install from the cd just this one instance [19:14] darn! [19:14] Doesn't mean it is not a bad cd [19:15] om26er: you are trying to stop xfce and start gnome? [19:15] I have installed 14 times, only to find the disc was bad [19:15] charlie-tca: ok why am i unable to boot into the system then? [19:15] If the disc is bad, the installation is bad, too [19:16] charlie-tca: hold a second. i used the sytem thereafter, made partitions, browsed the net... [19:16] charlie-tca: would you say its a bad install even after that? [19:17] I don't know. What partitions did you make? What changed ? [19:17] charlie-tca: hard drive had ntfs partitions... [19:17] charlie-tca: freed up space to make way for ext4 partitions... [19:17] It may be something you changed causing it not to boot [19:18] th0r: yes [19:18] Jaunty doesn't use ext4 [19:18] It is buggy in it [19:18] charlie-tca: so whats the way out? [19:18] charlie-tca: ext4 works great 4 me in jaunty [19:18] did you check the bios settings, yet? [19:18] charlie-tca: therr u go... [19:19] charlie-tca: check what? [19:19] om26er: it does that for some. It may be only a matter of time until it dumps, though [19:19] om26er: sorry...that one is too easy...just log out and before you log back in choose gnome from the Sessions menu [19:19] Is the bios set to boot to the cd? [19:19] charlie-tca: i set the bios to default settings, in fact thats the only time i was able to install from thelive cd [19:20] charlie-tca: yes indeed [19:21] and when you turn it off and turn it back on, will it now see the cd? [19:21] charlie-tca: unfortunately thereafter i was unable to boot into the live cd or the hard drive [19:21] charlie-tca: yes it can [19:21] then do the cd check from the menu [19:22] charlie-tca: i select the installation mode, hit f6, edit the line to turn off quiet flash [19:22] and then it stops at the error messages i typed sometime back... [19:22] charlie-tca: sorry it doesn't do the cd check [19:23] Then the cd is bad [19:23] charlie-tca: ok so what do i do now? [19:23] You have a faulty disc, and probably a faulty installation [19:23] burn a new cd [19:23] charlie-tca: ok i burnt a new cd a second time and same problem again... [19:24] charlie-tca: now what? [19:24] burning cd-r? [19:24] charlie-tca: yes cd-r [19:25] If the cd won't pass the check, the install will fail to work right. Try downloading from a different site, and if it still fails, [19:25] you might have a bad drive [19:25] charlie-tca: whoa there! hold your guns... [19:25] you asked [19:25] charlie-tca: the win xp works fine here... [19:25] how to replace window manager [19:26] charlie-tca: and the drive's fine... [19:26] That doesn't mean the download and the burned cd is fine [19:26] plz any1 tell me how to replace window manage [19:26] r [19:26] !windowmanager [19:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about windowmanager [19:26] !info windowmanager [19:26] Package windowmanager does not exist in jaunty [19:26] charlie-tca: ok, so suggest a propah site from where i can download the propah iso file [19:27] http://xubuntu.org/get and pick one that you did not use the last time [19:27] charlie-tca: no no, tell me the one that you usually download from! [19:28] charlie-tca: cos i don't remember from where i did the download last time... [19:28] just a minute, let me look. I rsync all the development images daily, myself [19:29] I am running karmic here [19:29] Try this one: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/9.04/release/ [19:29] charlie-tca: no probs, if you are running a good karmic it must be hosting a good jaunty as well [19:30] charlie-tca: thanks a lot! i'll try that out [19:30] No, my images come from canonical servers, they aren't available to all the mirrors yet [19:31] charlie-tca: shal i try an alternate cd? would that be better? [19:31] orthodoc_: also, I replaced about 5 cdrom drives in the last 6 months [19:31] I prefer the alternate cd, but it won't run as the live cd. [19:31] charlie-tca: why is that? [19:32] went bad [19:32] charlie-tca: went bad just like that... [19:32] I even had one go out when I was testing the final release of jaunty [19:32] charlie-tca: mine's been going strong for 5 yrs now... [19:32] just like that... [19:33] charlie-tca: wow!! [19:33] Yeah, I had one that failed a single install out of 16, like right in the middle of the run. [19:34] But, a bad drive is still bad, even when it did work 15 out of 16 times [19:34] charlie-tca: how did u find out it was the drive and not the cd? [19:34] bug reports [19:34] plz tell me how to install metacity??? [19:34] It installed 8 times, failed once, installed 7 more times. [19:35] om26er: don't actually know. I use Xubuntu with xfwm4 [19:35] You don't like xfwm4? [19:35] charlie-tca: one last question... [19:36] go ahead [19:36] om26er: I show metacity as installed by default [19:36] charlie-tca: do you think i can use my laptop drive to burn the iso i downloaded, do a cd check to see if its working and then try the install on the desktop before i download a fresh iso file formt eh address you gave? [19:37] perhaps they would know in #ubuntu, om26er [19:37] yes [19:37] charlie-tca: alrighty! thanks a lot buddy! [19:37] orthodoc_: You should be able to run the check on any machine. But, you still need to get it to pass on the desktop [19:38] charlie-tca: i'll do that before i hit bed. [19:38] Good luck [19:38] charlie-tca: sorry i didn't get that one [19:38] Even if it passes on the laptop, it still has to pass the cd check on the desktop [19:38] charlie-tca: ok thanx [19:38] charlie-tca: it may pass the cd check on my laptop, but still fail a cd check on the desktop..
