[11:31] <R1cochet> im trying to take a screenshot of a GDM theme i made, but when u run gdmthemetester it opens the window fine and the theme comes up but once i click on the window it resizes to 1600x1200, larger than actual resolution
[11:48] <psycho_oreos> if pgrep can translate the name of the process into process ID what's the program that can do the versa of that? converting process ID back to the process? trying to find out using fuser -m /dev/dsp  to see which process names are using it but its showing process ID rather than process names
[12:43] <cesarpinto1980> Hello again guys
[12:44] <cesarpinto1980> do you know what is the best way to adjust my screen resolution?
[12:44] <cesarpinto1980> i only get 800x600
[12:44] <cesarpinto1980> i need much bigger than that
[12:49] <cesarpinto1980> maybe i can share screen with someone to help me sort this out?
[12:49] <cesarpinto1980> is really driving me nuts :-)
[12:52] <psycho_oreos> cesarpinto1980, did you try Applications > Settings > Display ?
[12:52] <cesarpinto1980> yes
[12:52] <cesarpinto1980> doesnt show me the resolution
[12:52] <psycho_oreos> and 800x600 was the highest it could go?
[12:52] <cesarpinto1980> yess
[12:52] <psycho_oreos> which video card you got?
[12:52] <cesarpinto1980> im not sure

[13:00] <cesarpinto1980> :-(
[13:01] <psycho_oreos> how long you had the laptop for?
[13:01] <cesarpinto1980> couple of years?
[13:02] <cesarpinto1980> is not the greatest but is the only one i can afford :-)
[13:03] <psycho_oreos> you may have some luck with this: http://www.winischhofer.eu/linuxsisvga.shtml

[13:04] <cesarpinto1980> gonna check that out
[13:05] <cesarpinto1980> thanks mate!
[13:05] <psycho_oreos> nw
[15:00] <cagey> Good day.  Is anyone on to assist with a prob w/a fresh xubuntu install?
[15:29] <cody-somerville> cagey, Just ask your problem :-)
[15:30] <cagey> sorry, bouncing between apps!
[15:32] <cagey> I have a fresh 904 xubuntu install on a 233MHz/256MB PC and when it boots, it loads X but I never get a desktop /wicons.  I get solid background and mouse pointer and nothing else.
[15:33] <cagey> Upon a receommendation, I deleted the home/users/.cache and then it boots to completion.  What's in the cache that's causing this to happen?
[15:42] <cagey> Also, I need help to add more options to allow a higher resolution for my monitor
[16:33] <shooree> hi. how is it that I get this error message (in dmesg) when trying to mount an .iso file: "[ 5757.503252] ISOFS: Unable to identify CD-ROM format."? It worked flawlessly before and I'm trying to mount it in a purposefully made dir
[16:34] <shooree> Gmount gives the following crap: "An error occured, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,       missing codepage or helper program, or other error"
[16:34] <shooree> I repeat, it worked like a charm a day ago.
[16:38] <TheSheep> shooree: on the same file?
[16:38] <TheSheep> shooree: looks like the file is somehow broken
[16:39] <shooree> oh
[16:39] <shooree> you mean, it got damaged?
[16:39] <shooree> and yes, it's the same .iso
[16:39] <TheSheep> what happens if you run the 'file' command on it?
[16:39] <shooree> says "data"
[16:40] <TheSheep> not much information...
[16:40] <shooree> I supposed so...
[16:41] <shooree> it's a game dvd, which I tried to install and failed. so I removed it and wanted to try again, but I haven't touched he .iso itself, besides that one mounting when I installed it first
[16:41] <shooree> isn't there a way to mount the thing?
[16:46] <shooree> I''ll stay on the channel, so if anyone has any idea, please be so kind to throw it my way. I'm quite desperate since my notebook dvd drive flopped and I can't get another .iso copy in less than a few days. Thanks.
[16:50] <shooree> oh my god, I did it
[16:51] <shooree> with a simple 'sudo mount -o loop'! 'mount -t iso9660' gave me the errors above and for some reason this thing doesn't.
[16:52] <th0r> shooree: mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/test
[16:52] <shooree> what does that do?
[16:53] <shooree> and should I 'umount' before doing that?
[16:53] <th0r> shooree: that should mount the iso....you have the mount command split in two. I just got here, so didn't see everything, but your last line above has two mount commands
[16:53] <shooree> and why would I do it anyway, since I got it to work
[16:53] <shooree> oh
[16:53] <shooree> well, you misread
[16:53] <shooree> sorry to confuse you
[16:54] <shooree> the first part is what worked, the second one gave me errors
[16:54] <th0r> ok...should keep quiet til I get the whole story <smile>
[16:54] <shooree> :)
[16:54] <shooree> good reflexes, though
[16:54] <th0r> got a whole directory of two line help files....notes I have picked up off irc and such
[16:55] <TheSheep> th0r: try zim :)
[16:55] <th0r> TheSheep: I have it...love it
[17:06] <cagey> I have a prob where the /home/user/.cache files are causing my fresh install to not strart-up completely.  After deleting them, I get full start-up.  Ideas?
[17:13] <knome> cagey, do you experience this after every reboot or was it just one-time?
[17:14] <cagey> seems to be every time that I do NOT delete the contents of that dir
[17:15] <knome> okay
[17:15] <knome> weird
[17:15] <cagey> stalls just before desktop fully loads.  I have background colour and mouse pointer but no control or anything else!
[17:15] <cagey> cant right click either
[17:16] <knome> cagey, so what do you exactly have in your .cache?
[17:16] <cagey> oh hey! Thanks for the delete cache tip from yesterday.  It has started me down the troubleshooting path
[17:16] <cagey> lemme check...
[17:17] <knome> cagey, no problem. :) i think you might try to narrow the problem down by deleting one subdir at a time and seeing if that helps
[17:17] <cagey> .cache dir contains "sessions" and "Thunar" dirs
[17:17] <knome> okay
[17:18] <knome> cagey, see applications -> settings -> sessions and startup
[17:19] <knome> cagey, there might be something in there that is stopping you from logging in, though i don't know what that could be
[17:19] <cagey> I get past the login screen already
[17:19] <knome> yay:)
[17:19] <cagey> (S&S open now)
[17:20] <knome> see the "application autostart" and "session" tabs
[17:20] <knome> i have little ideas of what it could be, but you might try to disable some things you don't essentially need at startup
[17:20] <knome> something like the update manager or hardware drivers
[17:22] <cagey> knome, disabling and restarting...
[17:22] <cagey> this may time a "minute"...
[17:23] <knome> hehe okay
[17:25] <cagey> I should actually dump *buntu cause it's still too much for this machine to run.  Ironically, I just wanted to get *any* OS on it to give it away.
[17:26] <th0r> cagey: have you looked at damnsmalllinux?
[17:26] <th0r> cagey: or puppy linux?
[17:26] <knome> cagey, it would be nice to know what caused the problem in the first place, though ;)
[17:26] <cagey> I have puppy but could get the CD to boot ast night from CDR
[17:27] <cagey> I am "in between projects" at the moment so I'm looking at this as a learning opportunity. :)
[17:27] <th0r> cagey: another you might consider is mepis...they pride themselves on working with oddball hw
[17:27] <cagey> I dont think this is odd, just o*l*d
[17:29] <cagey> (box has booted to blank screenso I'm rm cache again and rebooting...)
[17:33] <cagey> th0r, I tried AntiX MEPIS but it said my CPU wasnt supported
[17:33] <cagey> or something to that effect
[17:41] <cagey> knome, standby... still trying to boot :(
[17:45] <cagey> sucessful boot after rm cache.  now will shutdown and reboot to test disabled items...
[17:47] <FelineMonstrosit> Hi, could someone please tell me how to set different wallpapers for different workspaces?
[17:56] <cagey> knome, box booted fully after disabling items in "application autostart" dialogue so I may be close to solution.
[17:56] <cagey> going to reboot again to verify...
[18:13] <cagey> knome, the box has fully booted twicw in a row so I'll just need to take a coser look at those options in the "autostart" dialogue and either leave them off or continue to narrow down the culprit.
[18:43] <knome> cagey, also try *save session* when you log out
[18:55] <mav0r> hi folks. i would like to set up dual screen mode on my thinkpad x200 notebook.
[18:55] <mav0r> in the settings i just see one display but in the desktop settings it lists both displays... any idea how i can disable the mirroring =)?
[18:57] <TheSheep> !xinerama
[18:57] <mav0r> thanks alot TheSheep ;)
[19:08] <zachary> hello
[19:15] <knome> !hi | zachary
[19:16] <zachary> knome: how are you?
[19:16] <knome> i'm fine thanks. and you?
[19:16] <zachary> not too bad, I was curious what some differences between xubuntu and ubuntu minus one having GNOME as default and one with XFCE
[19:17] <knome> that's the major difference. other differences are different default set of applications, for example, and some different configurations.
[19:18] <knome> all the applications in xubuntu are chosen to be lightweight but still featurerich, not only the desktop environment
[19:18] <knome> of course, you can install any application in both the systems, because the repositories are shared.
[19:18] <zachary> ah, does ubuntu come with all the tools I would need to configure my system, such as networking and the like, or does it just use the GNOME wizard?
[19:18] <zachary> s
[19:19] <knome> both use network-manager as the interface for configuring networking, once your hardware is recognised.
[19:20] <knome> and basically either both should or should not recognise the hardware, there should not be a difference
[19:20] <zachary> they both use the same kernel I'm imagining
[19:20] <knome> you can install "xubuntu" in your ubuntu machine by installing the xubuntu-desktop package and selecting xfwm4 session from gdm
[19:20] <knome> yes, the same kernel.
[19:20] <knome> (as long as you have the same X.XX version, of course)
[19:21] <zachary> I'm interested in switching, because I don't have the time to administrate Slackware machines these days
[19:22] <knome> right. so do you run slackware with xfce?
[19:22] <zachary> yes
[19:22] <knome> okay. i suppose you should try xubuntu then.
[19:22] <knome> as you might have understood, there's not a lot difference
[19:23] <zachary> I was figuring the integration would be much better with Xubuntu though
[19:23] <knome> and if you need some tool that is in ubuntu, you can get it in xubuntu just by installing it.
[19:23] <knome> (or an app, likewise)
[19:25] <zachary> luckily I'm familiar with apt from Debian :D
[19:40] <TwoToneSpirit> Hello.  I just installed xfce, and upon loading its session, I am running waaaayyy slow - much slower than with gnome.  I like xfce both in theory and in appearance - am I doing something wrong?  (xorg is the top process, dominating my CPU)
