[00:29] I am finding it difficult locating some Xubuntu specific documentation. http://www.google.com/search?&q=xubuntu+help takes me to http://www.xubuntu.org/help which suggests https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu (other links are Ubuntu, not Xubuntu related) [00:30] Then the "Find Help" link on that page takes me back to http://xubuntu.org/help . I am stuck in a loop. [00:30] Is there indeed any Xubuntu specific documentation? [00:46] sec [00:47] although there is no pure xubuntu documentation i guess, but ubuntu documentation will do it to [00:48] http://doc.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ [00:49] there is documentation \o/ [01:02] Hi.

[01:24] FelipeUser: the first 2 yes, the others you can get off the cd [01:25] right...

In the real world? sometimes, often not [01:26] FelipeUser: you can unplug it by right click on the desktop icon [01:26] k [01:27] ah. you're a good soul then. [01:27] there you can select unmount, although it isn't really necessary anymore these days [01:27] stickapotomus: who said I had a soul?

[01:31] FelipeUser: probably, yes, we'll see how xfce handels the files, or if we need to run from synaptic [01:32] fccf: double click worked [01:32] FelipeUser: so, install those 2, in gdebi, then run gksudo ndisgtk from terminal [01:33] when i was installing ndisgtk, [01:33] there was an erro: [01:34] it depends on diswrapper-utils-1.9 [01:34] FelipeUser: install ndiswrapper-common first [01:34] fccf: i did [01:34] FelipeUser: standby [01:34] k [01:35] fccf: you sent me the 1.53 version [01:35] fccf: it's asking for the 1.9 version?

On my campus, there are, at least, 3000 students. [01:53] And now, the college is adopting ubuntu [01:53] on it's computers [01:54] much cheaper then buying license keys ^^ [01:54] yes [01:54] I thought linux was really dificult. [01:54] in fact, [01:55] the last time I tryed to use it [01:55] was meu be 10 yeas ago [01:56] i still have the CD [01:56] red hat [01:57] really cool see how linux is nowadays [01:59] much nicer ^^ i tried red had linux about 6 to 8 years ago, but i didn't have any internet so i didn't saw a good reason to use it :p and it worked not quite nice back then ^^ [02:00] rofl [02:00] error at book supply site [02:00] Linux Iptables Pocket Reference for €99,99 ^^ [02:01] heheeh [02:06] man iptables $49.95 [02:08] what media player you recomend me?

[02:28] have you ever seen this kind of behavior? [02:28] the lasttime i burned a cd or dvd was about 2 years ago so i really can't recall... [02:29] 700MB cd's are always 700MB as far as i can recal [02:29] recall [02:29] omg, don't you use disks for clean installs? [02:29] usb drive \o/ [02:29] ooooOOOOOooooh, one of those [02:30] prolly beyond our capabilities to set up a bootable usb, i never did it b4 [02:31] if you got an usb drive and a running ubuntu system with graphical user interface it's quite simple [02:32] you can also make a usb drive when using the live cd, but then you still have to burn a cd i guess :+ [02:32] no, i'm in fla and shes in calif [02:32] and she doesn't have running ubuntu *yet* [02:33] thats tonites project [02:33] ah oke ^^ [02:34] shoot, just got a call gotta run out, guess i be back in a hour or so [02:35] k [02:38] anyone here got a php proxy that can connect to ssl connections? [02:39] no sorry [02:39] dangit [02:39] my webmin is in ssl mode and i cant get ssl out of port 10000 on this network to change it [02:40] treath the system manager :p [02:42] lol, i had it running on port 443 earlier and went and changed it back to 10000 to test ssh and forgot to disable ssl [02:42] http://202.60.82.61:10000/ [02:42] seeeeee [02:43] this is an error in your webmin config [02:43] not an error [02:43] its just in ssl mode [02:43] and i need to change its port over to 443 [02:43] although i had the same problem in ssl indead [02:43] Secure Connection Failed [02:43] [02:43] [02:43] [02:43] [02:43] [02:43] [02:43] [02:43] [02:43] 202.60.82.61:10000 uses an invalid security certificate. [02:43] ow fuck [02:43] lol [02:43] * NickDeNeger kicks himself [02:44] yeah [02:44] i never bothered with a valid vertificate [02:44] certificate* [02:47] so yeah, is antyone able to help me out? [02:48] can you ssh your box? [02:48] ... my spelling is horrible today [02:49] cant get ssh out from this network [02:49] its a stupid windows network [02:49] blegh, then no i guess [02:49] blocks everything but http [02:49] and ssl [02:49] but it only allows ssl on port 443 [02:51] so nobody has webmin installed and is able to let me use the http proxy in it? [02:51] don't have it installed sorry [04:03] i think i need a dev helper ... [04:04] anyways, my friend i'm trying to help her get .iso image burned. we finally got a burn program running, and she finally found where xp put the iso file, and then when she right clickd on the file to burn it, says, not enough space, file is 702, and 696 free space ... how can that be .. when she checkd properties on the file it was 698 mb i think [04:05] u think it will be easily possible for my friend the noob (more noob than me anyways) to delete some file of the .iso , and then replace after installation , and if so , what file(s) would you recommend to delete? [04:13] anybody got any ideas, i have my friend on hold to help her get this done [04:19] If I installed Ubuntu and switched to xfce, can I get support here? [04:19] i don't want to make the choice cause i don't know if i'll delete some important dependency or something [04:20] Hi everyone!... [04:22] vede, ask your question; don't ask to ask [04:22] Well, alright. [04:22] VLC does not work (sometimes stops responding altogether, if it doesn't do that it closes (no error) when I press the "next" button), and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset (but PulseAudio does). [04:23] (Sorry, was a copy-paste from #ubuntu.) [04:23] mikuuntu? you active>? [04:23] ...I installed ekiga softphone and I don`t see to be able find it anywhere...any tips???? [04:23] (#ubuntu is the most ridiculous "support" channel I've ever encountered.) [04:23] ...I kind of agree on that vede ... [04:24] mikubuntu, you at your computer? [04:24] techie, ya [04:24] sorry about earlier, i was at school [04:24] was lookg for u b4 [04:24] yeah, i noticed [04:24] okey [04:24] dokey [04:24] :P [04:24] im unable to remote my home box from school so i have to use web irc [04:25] so unfortunately i dont see any messages before i connect at lunch [04:25] do you see the ones i just posted? [04:25] yeah [04:26] i have output from today [04:26] strange, i don't know why thats happening with filesize issue [04:26] never seen that before [04:27] if you wanted to set up a bootable usb thats easy [04:27] theres a simple tool called netbootin [04:27] no, techie i can't do that with her [04:28] why not? [04:28] theres an application for it [04:29] cause she's remote (in la) and i'm in fla, and she's green [04:29] and you can even have it download the latest ISO for you [04:29] but we already downloaded the iso, just when she goes to burn it imgburn says the file is 702 mb even tho we know its 698 [04:30] well, ive never come across such an error [04:30] so couldn't we just delete some component files of the iso some program that i can replace after installation? [04:31] modification of an ISO is harder than using netbootin [04:33] hey, is roxio have anything todo with imgburn? she says when she clicks on 'burn' shes gettg message Roxio MyDVD DE9 trial version has expired [04:33] no, imgburn is completely independant [04:33] or is that some microsuck program that we should delete? maybe its set as default on her computer? [04:34] up to you [04:34] its not exactly standard MS [04:34] cause you said img would show up on right click, we installed it last nite [04:35] yeah, i read all that [04:36] where do you add/remove programs in xp? i haven't used it in so long i don't know and i have to explain it to her [04:36] sig [04:36] sigh* [04:36] hahaha [04:36] :P [04:36] just make a bootable usb [04:37] nick pointed out earlier [04:37] it simple with unetbootin [04:37] she doesn't have a usb, she just bought 100 cdrws [04:37] :( [04:37] oh [04:38] i am interested in the unetbootin for myself tho, but right now i'm doing evangelical work, exorcising a windows system for a lost soul, and bringing her to the ubuntu god [04:38] hahaha [04:41] she's trying to find where to delete/uninstall roxio right now [04:41] then maybe imgburn will activate [04:42] in control panel [04:42] set it to classic view [04:42] and look for add/remove programs [04:43] k, lemme check on her progress [04:44] anyone here know of a way to tunnel ssh through ssl using firefox, i would use putty staright off but i dont know the passwords for my http proxy and firefox uses the proxy properly [04:46] omg. now theres a topic thats over my head .. haha [04:47] hehe, thats just for at school [04:47] our stupid ISP blocks absolutely everything [04:48] oh, can't you just use anonymiser sites for that? [04:48] yeah [04:48] i could go through my php proxy in webmin with ssl encryption [04:48] but i really want to be able to get ssh out aswell [04:48] plus double encryption never hurt anyone [04:49] shes in control panel and says she 'can't find it' i guess she means 'classic view' button [04:50] left hand pane [04:50] ive got to go [04:50] ill be back later [04:50] k, thx [04:50] np [05:11] Hello...
