[03:51] xbox vanilla wired [04:35] every time i log out and back in, my screen resolution changes back to the best possible resolution (which i can read cuzz of poor eyesight) how do I make my resolution setting permanant (without checking the stupid "save session" option)? [05:06] dont think u can [06:17] hey I need a hand with a few questions, I'm wondering what people use to browse their samba shares witn in XFCE? [06:18] seems like the community is torn on this one and there's no easy answer [06:23] Hi, what do people use to browse samba shares with in XFCE? [06:24] <_Pete_> smbclient [06:25] is that a GUI? [06:26] <_Pete_> no [06:26] Hey all. Anyone around? [06:26] I just upgraded to the latest xubuntu, [06:26] and now my quit menu seems to be... wrong. [06:27] All I have is 'log out'. i don't get the suspend/hibernate/shutdown menu anymore. [06:27] _Pete_, i read that XFCE can't browse with smbclient.... it's Gnome or KDE that can [06:35] been a while since I've used samba, but I used to use linneighbourhood. [07:25] hi! [08:38] bonjour [09:00] hi. I have an init script which must export an environment variable MY_VAR . Unfortunately, with a normal user i CAN export it, but with root I CAN'T; what can I do ? thanks [09:04] cd #bash [09:04] join #bash [09:47] When xfce is launching two instances of Pidgin starts up on my father's box. Where do I configure what to start up or not? [09:49] blaamann, it might be in settings manager=>autostarted apps, or in the pidgin config itself [09:50] ablomen: It is not in autostarts, let me have a look in Pidgin. [09:50] Still it is weird that two instances starts [09:52] oh and you can also try the .config/xfce4-session/ folder, there is a .rc file there and there might be .desktop files too [09:53] Nothing in Pidgin. Let me try .config [10:36] hey all, I'm trying to print to cd. I have (as advised) set up a 2nd printer for this purpose. I have cd set as the media, I have cd tray set as the source, I have this 2nd printer set as the printer for the job but all the jobs fail, can anyone help please? [10:42] homebrewcider: try in #ubuntu too, it's the same app [10:42] done that before no luck [10:53] I edited/removed some lines in ~./cache/sessions/xfce4-session-my-desktop:0 in order to avoid two instances of Pidgin to start at each log in. [10:54] ok, and did it work? [11:01] ablomen: Yes it did :-) [11:11] 54 people in the room,huh ? Wow ! We're cookin' now ! Okay...that's enough tom-foolery for now.So,how is everybody this fine morning ? Deadicated {fairly newb}Xununtu user here from Bishop,California.{If anybody knows where that is anyway}Okay...let's begin.Hopefully this won't take too long.'Cuz,MAN,do I HAVE TO het some sleep ! Issue #1 of 2 {so far} this morn.... [11:12] Trying to drag & drop files from desktop to desktop folder, [desktop is waaaaaaaay too crowded at this point]the files do indeed show up within the folder.But,the files are not being removed from the desktop.In order for that to happen,I must go back &right click on each & every single file & click on "delete".Why,why,why ??? I just don't understand.I remember that with "Microshit' errrrrr Microsoft Windows,all I had to do w [11:13] confusious, shift+drag [11:13] hehe, you even have to do that with windows =p [11:15] Really knome ?? Alright !! Hey,good to see you again ! Thank.I'll give thgat a try [11:15] confusious, good to see you too :) [11:15] ... you seem to be on here alot knome [11:16] techie, that's because i am ;) [11:16] hrrm, almost like a bot... [11:16] it's holiday so i can be even more here if i feel like [11:16] print hello world? [11:16] techie, you should try ubottu for automatic answers ;) [11:16] Hey,hey ! That works.But,no I didn't have to do that with wins............. [11:17] confusious, what was the other problem? [11:17] maybe though that was because I was running 98 ? [11:17] confusious, from desktop maybe but when moving anything across drives yes you do [11:17] Other problem.............. [11:17] fire away [11:17] confusious, maybe, 98 is not built on the same standards than the os's now, for example xp/vista or xubuntu 8.10/9.04 [11:18] (more like "with the same standards" maybe) [11:18] ... you call vista an OS??? [11:18] I would like to be able to talk to somme people online oncein awhile in chat...You know...like my 69 year old mother but.......... [11:18] it seems that I don't have pidgin set up just right yet................ [11:19] apparently it can run some software and even muilti-task (with a high-spec pc), so... [11:19] which instant messenger were you wanting to use pidgin for? [11:19] every single person in my buddy list seems to ALWAYS be "offline" [11:19] how can that be ? [11:19] which instant messenger were you wanting to use pidgin for? [11:20] good one Techie ! That made me chuuckle [11:20] im being serious [11:20] pidgin supports too many protocols which makes it more annoying to set up [11:21] Well,I thought Pdg was for multiple so I set up accts at msn yahoo & ?? [11:21] yes [11:21] confusious, aim, icq, irc... [11:21] but it just complicates things having one thing multitask [11:21] for msn you can use aMSN [11:22] That is certainly true sometimes Tech [11:22] which will make life a ton easier [11:22] aMSN ? [11:22] techie, personally i like pidgin. it's interface is much better looking than amsn's [11:22] what do you mean by "a"MSN ? [11:22] knome, that a debate on preference though, not ease of set up [11:22] confusious, amsn is an application [11:23] "aMSN" is a linux MSN messenger alternative [11:23] techie, i personally also find pidgin easy to set up, actually [11:23] Hmmmmmm maybe I should read Pdgin's faq's ?? [11:23] ahhhhhh [11:23] techie, the only "problem" is that you have to know *what* you are setting up [11:23] ....... [11:23] too true knome [11:23] techie, but that's hardly a problem for somebosy like me who is this much at irc [11:24] same here [11:24] so just because I have an email addy at hotmail I'm not lready set up at pidgin for IM'ing ? [11:25] yes you are [11:25] pidgin will handle the MSN protocol [11:25] hmmmmmmm wonder wy evreybody is always offline to me then ? [11:26] could be a possible error in the setup, bad network or even that everyone is simply offline [11:26] with pidgin I'm using all the diff IMing services at same time right ? [11:26] yes and no [11:26] Very well could be Tech.I'm kind of a lonely guy & don't really have too many friends ya know ? [11:26] heh heh [11:27] lol [11:27] hmmmmm yes & no ? [11:27] with pidgin you are able to connect to various different network protocols [11:27] but msn still only talks to other msn users [11:27] Well............ [11:28] pretend I'm writing email at hot mail & one friend signs in at yahoo...pidgin would tell me right ? [11:28] confusious, yes, but you have to have a yahoo account as well [11:28] Yes,I do.............. [11:28] yes, hotmail and yahoo are linked [11:28] techie, are they? [11:28] wow... [11:28] yeah [11:28] :P [11:29] they linked over a year ago i thik [11:29] confusious, to make it clear: as long as you add all of your accounts to pidgin, yes, you will get notifications from all of your friends from different networks. [11:29] I think I need to go read on Pidgin's http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin huh ? [11:29] confusious, and you can reply to everybody. [11:30] confusious, that might be a good starting point [11:30] Dig it.Thanks,Knome [11:30] Think I'd better go to bed now before the ol' woman has a tizzy fit.................... [11:31] i over complicate things.... maybe spending half a year in #pclinuxos changed me [11:31] confusious, good night :) [11:31] She gets REALLY cranky when I'm on her.Especially alot or like,say,all night ! heh heh [11:31] night dude [11:32] which I do alot on my days off.You see,I want to be a "Techie" too [11:32] Before I go though...........

[11:53] it might take. [11:53] yay it finished [11:55] know anyone with an ssh server that i would be able to get a login for, for ssh tunnel purposes? [12:01] OMG i think my windows XP ISO has cone bad [12:01] gone* [12:02] i cant really be bothered at the moment [12:02] screwit im installing xubuntu [12:04] not permanently though [12:07] ima switch machines now that i have a livecd booted === ubuntu_ is now known as Techie [12:08] you know you can't resist :D [12:09] heya hatake [12:09] yo [12:09] hows things going? [12:09] suppose its been somewhat ok, yourself? [12:09] im happy [12:09] if you look back on the logs [12:09] you might notice that i got past the school server today [12:11] bout 9 hours ago roughly [12:11] heh I'm looking through the buffer, you briefly explained it :) [12:12] yeah [12:13] the admin wants to do me in for running linux off of a live usb when the system was down [12:13] says its against the computer use agreement [12:14] lol [12:14] tell him its not your fault if he left the door wide open :) [12:14] nah [12:15] thats the least of his problems [12:15] haha [12:15] i can cause chaos no matter what OS im using [12:15] so he had his hands full [12:15] i already have the admin passwords [12:15] been there did that :) [12:16] hrmm, wonder if i can get my ATI radeon working in linux again [12:17] via fglrx :D [12:17] i never could get that working properly in PClinuxOS [12:17] which was a pity because i realy wanted to use compiz [12:17] lol [12:18] well older cards might, newer cards, depends [12:18] oh man this is gonna suck [12:19] i just realised im gonna have to work out how to play the sound thats coming in from line in [12:19] arnt ati drivers foss nowadays? [12:19] not sure [12:19] well no there's both [12:19] newer ones will be open [12:19] like nvidia, but open source isn't that great and I hear on ati its worse [12:20] but not sure about the older ones [12:20] ati had absolutely no open source untill they got bought out by AMD [12:20] hatake_kakashi, thats just free as in beer, im sure iv read amd wanting to foss the drivers [12:20] I know with nvidia there is nv and nvidia, nv being open source and nvidia being proprietary. ati I think something and fglrx [12:20] yeah [12:21] I hope they will make that happen, so far its been all smoke and mirrors from what I have heard from the rest [12:21] heres some advise, if your ever purchasing hardware for a linux box, DONT GET ATI [12:22] ooh almost installed [12:22] DONE [12:22] ill be right back [12:23] and don't get one with broadcrap chipsets [12:24] i.e. broadcom [12:24] hatake_kakashi: my broadcom chip worked out of the box, it was the atheros usb wifi that gave me fits [12:25] th0r, atheros does in some way support the linux community more than broadcom [12:25] hatake_kakashi: although I have to admit that the latest kernel killed the broadcom wifi and left the atheros alone [12:25] though yeah I must admit that there are some atheros that are still gray patches [12:26] hehe 2.8ghz 1.5gig RAM and Xubuntu... ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM [12:26] intel+nividia==good support :) [12:26] hatake_kakashi: I finally had to resort to ndiswrapper to get the atheros to work [12:26] 2.6 C2D + 4GB and xubuntu :D [12:26] oooh, DDR2 im guessing\ [12:26] th0r, its not ar5007ug is it? [12:26] techie, yeah :) [12:27] *sigh* DDR333 [12:27] don't recall offhand....would have to look it up again. But have an appointment so have to run....ttfn [12:27] still, its nice that I have one of the most powerful boxen running xubuntu :P and linux even [12:28] ablomen, intel and nvidia are a bit of a worrying combo, intel doesn't like nvidia stepping on their turf [12:28] i might be in luck for my compiz support [12:28] theres ATI drivers int he repos [12:29] in the* [12:29] yeah there should :) [12:29] hatake_kakashi, well with nvidia i mean just the graphics, not nvidia chipset [12:29] just like nvidia's proprietary drivers [12:29] though these work good on linux too [12:29] ablomen, heard of the story behind nvidia ion? intel was fuming [12:29] nvidia chipset I wouldn't recommend, it has its own issues [12:30] hmm after about.. 2005, i'v always had good drivers for nvidia chipsets [12:31] otoh they were at that time lacking linux support, such as nforce4 and ethernet... driver became forcedeth which was some reverse engineered driver [13:53] how do you permanently choose not the best resolution? [13:58] Hello everyone, i need help, i installed xubuntu over ubuntu server using sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [13:58] and im not getting any network connectivity [13:58] can someone point me to a driver page? [13:59] No, Ok [13:59] Nitrousoxide: click on the network manager icon and click on the networks you want to connect to [13:59] and make sure you didnt toggle your network shutdown button if it's a laptop (usually on the front / side of the laptop) [14:00] network is EXACTLY the same in ubuntu and xubuntu [14:00] SiDi, how do you permanently choose not the best resolution? [14:03] vidd: you mean force screen resolution ? [14:03] yes [14:03] well...no [14:03] I use nvidia-settings but its probably different with ati / intel [14:04] its a shown setting [14:05] but the pc picks 12-something instead of 1024x768 [14:06] SiDi: SOrry, it doesnt pick the card up [14:06] vidd, edit xorg.conf (thats what nvidia-settings does too) [14:06] DiDi: it used to work in ubuntu server 9.4 untill i installed xubuntu, then it broke it [14:08] ablomen, there is no xorg.conf anymore [14:08] vidd, there is, or should be, xorg should still read xorg.conf before doing things on the fly [14:09] or that changed in the last version of xorg [14:09] so if it doesnt exists you can create it [14:12] you should only have to make a screen section with a display subsection and a default depth [14:15] i SHOULD be able to just go into the display settings tool, pick my resolution, and it stick [14:15] hehe yeah true [14:16] someone told me how to do it b4...months ago, and i cant remember [14:17] and what ever happened to the auto-started applications configuration tool?!? === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [16:48] hol [16:48] alguien habla español ? [16:52] * SiDi does [16:56] SiDi, do you by chance know how to make your resolution settings permanent without mucking around with xorg? [16:57] i want it set per user...not global [16:58] vidd: i dont [16:58] =\ [16:59] * forces también habla español [17:01] !english [17:01] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [17:01] knome, you by chance know the answer to my question? [17:01] vidd, not really [17:02] any idea why it no longer works? [17:02] nope [17:02] sorry === freego is now known as forces [20:02] anybody know why i would be getting these funny symbols on my screen where it should be reading something else? [20:02] http://imagebin.org/56562 [20:03] one moment please [20:04] those "funy symbols" are for typeset (fonts) your browser cannot display properly [20:06] have you made any changes recently on your system? [20:06] i don't think so [20:07] have you had this problem b4? [20:07] updates, normal stuff [20:07] no, never had this [20:07] updates....any kernel updates or firefox updates? [20:08] well, i didn't notice firefox or kernel updates since 3 am when i fell asleep to now [20:09] hehe [20:09] i would first restart firefox.... [20:09] did [20:09] also, do you do do yahoo clasic or the new crap? [20:10] classic. new yahoo sucks [20:10] hehe....i hear ya [20:11] vidd, you don't like new stuff, don't you? :P [20:11] risistance is NOT futile! [20:11] =] [20:12] *resistance [20:13] mikubuntu, is it just that peice of spam? or is it on all web pages? [20:14] hrm...all my yahoo spam is displayed properly.... [20:14] so it must be the fonts on your system [20:14] have you rebooted your system? [20:14] no, have not rebootd [20:15] i'm escared to [20:15] ? [20:15] why so? [20:16] been on chat channels a lot, freenode support channels, isit possible anyone might have attackd my system [20:16] (paranoia) [20:16] did you set yopur password to something stupid like "god" or "password"? [20:16] not that bad [20:17] but i never feel 'good enough' about passwords, you know [20:17] Then to what did you set it? (Just kidding :P) [20:17] mikubuntu, word of advise about passwords.... [20:17] :P [20:17] 8-10 characters.... [20:17] yes, yes? [20:18] mine is nine [20:18] Capital letters, special signs, numbers, etc. [20:18] at least 2 numbers, at least 2 caps, and 2 lower-case [20:18] has all those [20:18] well, not two caps it dont [20:18] then your password is 400% better then mine =] [20:19] hahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhaha [20:19] do you have an ssh server, web server, ftp server, telnet server, or any other world-accessable servers running on your system? [20:19] lemme run let the dog out. you think he could have something to do with it? i don't trust ANYBODY. [20:20] for the most part, you practically have to INVITE someone to hack your system [20:20] Also, don't use the same password for everything. You might want to append the last two letters of the thing you're signing in to to your password just to make it different. That way, they can't automatically break into your other stuff :) [20:21] avoid flamer, and let IRC Trolls alone [20:22] script kiddies are annoying but pretty impotent against basic linux security [20:22] but your issue is (90% certain) a fubar'd font [20:27] mikubuntu, you back yet? [20:33] ya, back [20:34] the dog is a resource hog [20:34] click the "view" on your firefox..... [20:34] view (source?) [20:34] what is "encoding" set to? [20:35] unicode utf 8 [20:36] auto decode (off) [20:36] sounds like a reboot is in order [20:36] k, brb [20:36] do other sites have this issue? or just your yahoo mail? [20:37] when i woke up, i had several tabs not rendering any type, including my server admin for my website [20:37] computer has been on for at least 4 days [20:37] 24/7 [20:38] ok...so then in all likelihood, you have new fonts that need to be properly initialized [20:38] aaaahhhhh [20:38] just log out of X and log back in....... [20:38] or reboot [20:38] control alt del ? [20:39] 9.04? [20:39] y [20:39] no...not ctrl+alt+del [20:40] shift alt backspace? [20:40] the version lets me know if you need to do ctrl+alt+bcksp or alt+SysRq+k [20:40] 904 [20:40] alt+SysRq+k [20:41] heh....he found it =] [20:41] :P [20:42] gee....applications->logout->logout works too....dont it? [20:42] Suppose so [20:43] >.< [20:45] am i back? [20:46] Yep :) [20:46] k, i was on chatzilla b4, now xchat [20:46] how do i get user list up in xchat? [20:47] It should be on the right-hand side [20:49] nope. [20:50] Also nothing you can drag out? [20:50] oh, i see, theres a little friend icon and you have to click to get it out. i like czilla better i think [20:50] Ah, you might have installed Xchat-GNOME [20:50] Though I'm not a fan of Xchat either [20:51] vidd, fonts are back [20:51] problem must have been 'what you said' [20:54] =] [20:55] the "four hours of updating b4 i fell asleep" was the real clue [20:56] at least that was what i translated what ya said into [20:56] well....i have to attend a training session for work [20:57] later [21:01] hello [21:01] !hi [21:01] Hi!
