[00:00] <techie> !ppc
[01:43]  * likemindead is back (gone 01:05:28)
[02:57] <maxwell> How can I get this line of code to run every time I boot up automatically: "setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle_led:scroll us,ru
[02:57] <maxwell> "
[02:57] <maxwell> ?
[02:57] <techie> put it in a bash script and have it run using the session manager
[02:58] <knome> maxwell, applications -> settings -> sessions and startup -> tab "application autostart"
[02:58] <techie> yep
[02:59] <maxwell> I have *totally* forgotten how to do that.
[02:59] <maxwell> Simple instructions, please?
[02:59] <maxwell> Oh wait...
[02:59] <maxwell> I think  I have it.
[03:00] <maxwell> Yes.
[03:00] <maxwell> Thank you.
[03:00] <maxwell> *hugz*
[03:00] <knome> you're welcome
[03:03] <maxwell> Hrmm, I added it.
[03:03] <maxwell> Is there anything I fucked up on?
[03:03] <maxwell> It is not working D:
[03:04] <maxwell> Can someone please walk me through that?
[03:04] <knome> is the script runable? (chmod +x filename)
[03:04] <maxwell> Well if I type it into terminal and hit enter, it runs...
[03:04] <maxwell> I actually cannot remember how to make it into a script *file* etc.
[03:05] <maxwell> The command in question is pasted above.
[03:05] <maxwell> But that is all I've got.
[03:07] <knome> i'm a bit unfocused of anything right now, sorry
[03:08] <maxwell> Well, focus?
[03:08] <maxwell> I want to have the following command in quotation marks run whenever my system starts up: " setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,ru"
[03:10] <knome> maxwell, did you look at applications -> settings -> sessions and startup -> tab "application autostart" ?
[03:10] <maxwell> Yes.
[03:10] <maxwell> Then I clicked "add"
[03:11] <maxwell> Made a name for the script.
[03:11] <maxwell> typed what I wanted in the little box marked " command", saved and quit.
[03:11] <knome> did you check it's checkbox in the window?
[03:11] <maxwell> Yes, checked.
[03:13] <knome> try to create a scriptname.sh file for it
[03:14] <knome> and as only line, paste your command
[03:15] <maxwell> what does that mean? please explain.
[03:15] <knome> then right-click the file in thunar -> properties, tab "permissions" and check the box "allow this file to run as program"
[03:15] <knome> ok...
[03:15] <knome> open mousepad
[03:15]  * maxwell is retarded.
[03:15]  * maxwell opens mousepad.
[03:16] <knome> paste your command in mousepad
[03:16] <maxwell> done
[03:16] <knome> save the file as /home/yourusername/startup.sh
[03:17] <knome> open thunar
[03:17] <knome> you should be in /home/yourusername/
[03:17] <maxwell> yes
[03:17] <knome> right-click startup.sh and select properties
[03:17] <knome> go to tab permissions
[03:18] <knome> check the box "allow this file to run as program" from the bottom of the window
[03:18] <maxwell> Okay, did that.
[03:18] <knome> then close the window and thunar (and mousepad, if you have it still running)
[03:18] <knome> then, open applications -> settings -> sessions and startup
[03:18] <maxwell> Oh, mmk.
[03:18] <maxwell> Gotcha there.
[03:18] <knome> go to tab "application autostart"
[03:18] <knome> click "add"
[03:18] <knome> name it whatever you want
[03:19] <knome> and for the command, type "/home/yourusername/startup.sh" without the quotes.
[03:19] <maxwell> Mmmk, testing...
[03:19] <knome> then, click ok and make sure it has the mark checked in the list on the "applications autostart" window
[03:20] <knome> then close all windows login again
[03:20] <maxwell> Ah! Question...
[03:20] <knome> okay?
[03:20] <maxwell> If I change the name to make it a hidden file, so long as I change the filepath and everything, nothing would fuck up, riight?
[03:20] <maxwell> I shall do that.
[03:20] <knome> yes.
[03:20] <maxwell> Thank you.
[03:22] <maxwell> Hrmm, not working.
[03:22] <maxwell> I logged on and off.
[03:23] <knome> are you running xubuntu 9.04 ?
[03:23] <maxwell> Yes.
[03:23] <knome> okay.
[03:24] <knome> open thunar and browse to /home/yourusername/.config/autostart
[03:24] <maxwell> I just did a fresh install the other day as I came back from a few months of vacation.
[03:24] <maxwell> Mmk, there.
[03:24] <knome> find the appropriate file and open it in mousepad
[03:24] <maxwell> Done.
[03:25] <knome> !pastebin | maxwell
[03:25] <maxwell> I know what pastebin is :)
[03:25] <knome> paste it and let me see
[03:25] <maxwell> http://paste.ubuntu.com/279219/
[03:26] <knome> did you rename the file?
[03:26] <maxwell> No :S
[03:26] <knome> okay
[03:26] <maxwell> Oh, shit yes.
[03:26] <maxwell> I did.
[03:26] <maxwell> I called it "keyboard_switch)
[03:26] <knome> ok, change the Exec line accordingly
[03:27] <knome> and save the file and relogin.
[03:27] <maxwell> doing so...
[03:29]  * maxwell tears hair out.
[03:29] <knome> doesn't work, or what?
[03:30] <maxwell> No it does not.
[03:30] <knome> ok, just to be sure, can you paste the script file
[03:30] <maxwell> Mmmk.
[03:30] <knome> also, open terminal, type "ls -l" (in your home) and paste the output as well
[03:30] <maxwell> file name: keyboard_switch
[03:30] <knome> you can use a single paste
[03:31] <maxwell> mmmk.
[03:31] <maxwell> http://paste.ubuntu.com/279222/
[03:32] <knome> ok, where is your /home/maxwell/keyboard_switch ?
[03:33] <knome> the Exec= line should have a script path/file that exists
[03:33] <maxwell> Oh shit, BRB!!
[03:33] <techie> that didnt sound good
[03:33] <knome> not really.
[03:34] <knome> maxwell, does it work?
[03:34] <maxwell> Okay, I just changed the file name and path to match.
[03:35] <maxwell> And no, it does not work.
[03:35] <maxwell> Is there not some simpler way of doing this?
[03:35] <maxwell> Last time I asked someone to help me with this it took five minutes.
[03:35] <techie> what was all that about maxwell?
[03:35] <maxwell> ?
[03:35] <knome> this is the right way to do it.
[03:35] <techie> "maxwell> Oh shit, BRB!!"
[03:35] <maxwell> Stuff, things.
[03:35] <maxwell> Life, etc.
[03:35] <techie> fair enough
[03:35] <knome> maxwell, you can paste again the file in ~/.config/autostart and the output of "ls -l" ?
[03:36] <knome> and output of "cat keyboard_switch"
[03:37] <maxwell> http://paste.ubuntu.com/279226/
[03:38] <knome> okay, can you paste the output of "cat keyboard_switch.sh"
[03:38] <maxwell> maxwell@maxwell-desktop:~$ cat keyboard_switch.sh
[03:38] <maxwell> setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,rumaxwell@maxwell-desktop:~$
[03:39] <knome> hmm, open the file, go to the end of the first line and press enter, then save and try to relogin
[03:41] <maxwell> Still isn't working.
[03:41] <maxwell> I am sure there is some hella-simple way of doing this though.
[03:41] <maxwell> It feels like you are overcomplicating it somehow.
[03:42] <knome> to be honest, i think you are doing something wrong. this works for me.
[03:43] <maxwell> Odd.
[03:43] <samson_> hello
[03:43] <knome> maxwell, you can try to copy the file in .config/autostart to /etc/xdg/autostart
[03:43] <samson_> first time user here, wondering if someone can help me out with a problem
[03:43] <maxwell> I have decided to try this from the beginning.
[03:44] <knome> !ask | samson_
[03:44] <techie> !ask samson_
[03:44] <techie> dang you knome
[03:44] <samson_> lol
[03:44] <knome> techie, :)
[03:45] <samson_> My laptop: IBM R31; Question 1: I cannot get sound to work, I have installed all the updates, sound doesnt work, plz help
[03:47] <maxwell> Isn't there some way of forgoing the whole making of another file to get this to work?
[03:47] <maxwell> Can I not just somehow type the code into the "command" box when I am doing the add in application autostart?
[03:47] <xylox> maxwell, if you run the bash file you created, it runs ok?
[03:50] <maxwell> I didn't try that.
[03:50] <xylox> just doubleclik it and see if it runs ok
[03:50] <maxwell> Yes.
[03:51] <maxwell> It works fine.
[03:52] <maxwell> (if I double-click on it)
[03:52] <xylox> then add to your file in the first line this -> sleep 5
[03:53] <maxwell> ?
[03:53] <maxwell> Wait?
[03:53] <maxwell> So just, add it to the first line then?
[03:54] <xylox> yes, is a delay to give time to x to load before the command
[03:54] <maxwell> (it only has one line :O)
[03:54] <maxwell> Okay, now what?
[03:54] <techie> xylox, if he runs it via startup and sessions it will load when X is well loaded
[03:55] <xylox> techie, it happened to me and just worked with sleep
[03:56] <xylox> maxwell, try it
[03:57] <maxwell> mmmk
[03:58] <maxwell> No.
[03:59] <maxwell> Not working.
[04:07] <samson_> so anyone got any ideas?
[04:09] <xylox> maxwell, pastebin your bash file to check it
[04:10] <maxwell> Bash file?
[04:11] <xylox> yeah, the file you made and added to your autostart
[04:13] <maxwell> I have pasted it like......six times though.
[04:13] <maxwell> It honestly hasn't changed.
[04:13] <maxwell> setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,ru-> sleep 5
[04:14] <xylox> oh man
[04:21] <maxwell> Oh, that one.
[04:21] <maxwell> One sec there, mate.
[04:24] <maxwell> http://paste.ubuntu.com/279243/
[04:25] <xylox> maxwell, your file should be like this http://pastebin.com/d6c9389f5
[04:25] <xylox> make sure is executable
[04:25] <xylox> and make sure is loaded at startup apps
[04:28] <maxwell> brb, testing.
[04:30] <maxwell> Thank you.
[04:31] <maxwell> Crazy how all it needed were those few characters at the beginning.
[04:31] <maxwell> Until next time!
[04:31] <maxwell> Ciao!
[04:58] <visitor1> hi techie
[04:58] <techie> helllo visitor1
[05:00] <visitor1> could you helpüme once again please?
[05:00] <visitor1> -ü
[05:00] <techie> sorta trying to help myself atm, but sure
[05:00] <visitor1> i would like to install the new xnview, http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=18423
[05:00] <visitor1> but its not in the packet managment and no  .deb
[05:01] <visitor1> how complicated is it?
[05:01] <techie> im downloading it now
[05:05] <ryguy> Hey, I'm trying to set up a static IP address so I can forward apache to my domain name but I'm not sure exactly how to get my ip adress, gateway, and netmask. whatismyip.com gives me a different IP address than ifconfig
[05:06] <techie> ifconfig will give you the information for your computer
[05:06] <techie> getmyip will give you the information of your internet connection
[05:07] <ryguy> alright so I just throw the information from ifconfig into /etc/network/interfaces?
[05:07] <techie> yes but it has to be in the correct layout
[05:07] <ryguy> right, how do i find my gateway?
[05:08] <techie> that will be the ip of your router
[05:08] <ryguy> Mask from ifconfig outputs 255.0.0.0 does that sound correct?
[05:08] <ryguy> or should it look more like my ip?
[05:09] <ryguy> no wait, it says 255.255.255.0
[05:10] <techie> once your done please pastebin me your /etc/network/interfaces
[05:10] <ryguy> alright
[05:11] <ryguy> http://friendpaste.com/2B9LjhFiq4m3eKVzFNvO82
[05:12] <techie> i dont think the auto lo eth0 line is needed but im not 100% sure
[05:13] <ryguy> well im using this guide here
[05:13] <ryguy> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-set-a-static-ip-address-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html
[05:13] <techie> looks alright
[05:13] <ryguy> alright, thanks!
[05:19] <visitor1> do you know a picture viewer which saves the zoom techie ?
[05:20] <visitor1> i have comics in jpeg but at every new picture i have to zoom agin
[05:20] <visitor1> i hope the xnview can manage this
[05:22] <techie> nope i dont
[05:22] <visitor1> i have tried more than three picture viewer but none can do this
[05:43] <visitor1> how does it look techie ?
[05:44] <techie> it looks as if theres a bash script to configure it all
[05:44] <techie> extract it and run the file xnview.sh
[05:45] <techie> and with some luck it will all just work
[05:45] <visitor1> ok, thanksw, will try it
[05:52] <visitor1> it works, and i can save the zoom, excellent, thanks a lot techie
[05:52] <techie> no problem
[05:53] <visitor1> where are the programm files where i should copy the xnview directory?
[05:55] <visitor1> dont know about the directory structure of linux
[05:55] <techie> no clue
[05:56] <visitor1> i have copied the xnview files to a temp directory
[05:56] <techie> wait
[05:56] <techie> does xnview.sh launch the viewer or install it?
[05:56] <visitor1> it launches the viewer
[05:56] <techie> kk
[05:56] <techie> put it into a directory of your choosing
[05:57] <techie> and make a symbolic link in /usr/local/sbin/
[05:57] <techie> that way you can just launch it from anywhere
[05:58] <visitor1> ok but where are usually put the programm files in xubuntu?
[05:58] <techie> umm, put it into /etc/
[05:58] <techie> so /etc/xnview/
[05:59] <visitor1> ok thanks a lot
[06:19] <visitor1> hmm i managed to copy it to /etc and i made a starter icon on th desktop, but i wont start, it wants to open xnview.sh with the text editor, how do i change it to an .exe?
[06:21] <techie> ln -s /path/to/xnview.sh /usr/local/sbin/xnview
[06:23] <techie> done that?
[06:24] <techie> once you have done that you can launch it by typing xnview into terminal or into the launcher (ALT + F2)
[06:24] <visitor1> now i have done it, but xnview is in /etc?
[06:25] <techie> yeah so the command would have been something along the lines of
[06:26] <techie> ln -s /etc/xnview/xnview.sh /usr/local/sbin/xnview
[06:26] <visitor1> ok i am stupid
[06:27] <techie> *no comment*
[06:28] <visitor1> how do i delete the wrong link, ln -s /path/to/xnview.sh /usr/local/sbin/xnview
[06:28] <techie> sudo rm /usr/local/sbin/xnview
[06:33] <visitor1> sudo ln -s /etc/XnViewMP/xnview.sh /usr/local/sbin/xnview
[06:33] <visitor1> /usr/local/sbin/xnview: 4: ./xnview: not found
[06:34]  * techie title his head sideways
[06:34] <techie> tilts*
[06:35] <visitor1> hmm its working when iam in /etc/XnViewMP/xnview.sh
[06:35] <xylox> visitor1, have you tried downloading the rpm file form xnview website and creating .deb with "alien"
[06:35] <visitor1> but in another directory i get this error, /usr/local/sbin/xnview: 4: ./xnview: not found
[06:35] <techie> wait
[06:35] <techie> are you running it with ./xnview or just xnview
[06:35] <visitor1> just xnview
[06:36] <techie> bizzare
[06:37] <techie> anyway im gonna go afk
[06:38] <visitor1> ok ,thanks anyway
[06:38] <visitor1> will try to solve this mystery

[18:52] <metalboy94> hi everyone.
[18:54] <metalboy94> im a linux newb and want to install xubuntu to my Lifebook C1020 so i have a question. i already have Windows XP installed on that notebook. is there a partitioning tool on the xubuntu LiveCD that could help me install it without losing Windows XP and all the data on the hard-drive?
[19:37] <Balsaq> it takes me 3min and 30 sec to to go from off to the internet including putting in my name and password...is that slow?
[19:37] <Balsaq> and does sdding ram change that or is it a processor issue?
[19:38] <Balsaq> adding* i meant to say
[19:54] <ccc1> how would I, from the commandline, change a user so that they can administer the system. I cannot login graphically to any of my admin accounts, only my user accounts are working
[20:55] <ryguy> ello
[21:26] <nuvan> can someone msg me the default grouplist for the first user on an xubuntu system?  I accidentally removed myself from all but the fuse group...
[23:50] <MadsRH> knome -> I send you an email via Launchpad with a link to http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/175241/boot/x_throbber.tar.gz
