[00:01] NetEcho: grab the minimal CD and boot from that [00:01] besides, without any modification, it just hangs right after the grub countdown [00:01] ActionParsnip you can't put a cd into a drive when the machine is over 10000km away [00:01] patri_: are you sure you edit the right entry ? [00:01] NetEcho: you can, with drac ;) [00:02] NetEcho: i do it every day [00:02] oh really? [00:02] via SSH? [00:02] NetEcho: yes drac provides a virtual floppy and cd drive [00:02] I think so [00:02] hrm [00:02] NetEcho: you of course need a drac card and a drac compatible server but it is possible [00:03] I'm replacing the "quiet" parameter, which I assume is totally optional [00:03] ... lol [00:03] NetEcho: configure a pxe server and boot from it [00:03] hello everybody..Which FS should I use for an external USB drive to store files biger then $gB? [00:03] *4GB [00:03] ActionParsnip what now? lol [00:03] mwahahahahha, i've uncommented everything. The world is now my oyster ! [00:03] doktoreas: ntfs would be the more compatible/capable fs [00:03] doktoreas: what do you want to store on it? [00:04] Hi. [00:04] doktoreas: and what do you want to use it for? [00:04] I have got virtualbox image [00:04] doktoreas, hammerfs [00:04] got vlc now ... thanks guys. I was being too much of a wuss. [00:04] NetEcho: if you configure a pxe server you can make the server boot from that [00:04] Is here somebody who use Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Device 1063 (rev c0)? [00:04] I tried fat32 but it stops at 4GB [00:04] ActionParsnip and if something screws up when it trys to boot into that PXE server, then I have no way of getting the server to boot back into the current distro [00:05] is it possible to open up photoshop files in gimp? [00:05] erUSUL, can I read the NTFS from ubuntu? [00:05] doktoreas: sure and writte [00:05] sorry nevermind that post im going to the gimp room [00:05] I switched to AHCI and I'm still getting system crashes 5 minutes into raid array recovery. When I try in recovery mode I get a call trace or a kernal panic error, but I can't find those entries in any logs... help? [00:06] NetEcho: could be hard but may be possibe. I know of a distro that has a public pxe server and an ISO you can boot to to kick it off, just cant remember the name [00:06] colinmarc: :| well if the sata controller blows up maybe the logs can simply not be written... [00:07] I have a foxconn board with a G45... are there are a lot of issues with the sata controllers on those boards? [00:07] i changed permissions for /media/disk to 777 - is there a reason that's not a good thing to do? [00:08] colinmarc: what serial ATA. chip. Silicon image / ICH-7 ? [00:08] colinmarc: no intel ichx southbridges should just work. they are bery common and used hardware [00:08] very* [00:08] * erUSUL needs sleep [00:08] well something is crashing the system. what else could it be? [00:09] colinmarc: really dunno.... maybe in #ubuntu-kernel they are able to help you more [00:10] I'll check that out, I guess. Thanks [00:10] no prblem === rabinoit is now known as naj [00:11] colinmarc: There are a lot of things that could be crashing your computer, how and when is it crashing? [00:11] What does pulseaudio do, and how do I make it stop doing it?

[00:12] I'll try editing the menu.lst file, should I run some boot updating script afterwards? [00:12] patri_: Yes, "sudo update-grub" [00:12] patri_: yes [00:13] patri_: Note that that will overwrite anything in the debian automagic kernels area [00:13] anyone on lxde here knows how to set nautilus to be the default file manager? is a script necessary? [00:14] I need to note: I'm currently running on an ubuntu liveCD, since the installed one doesn't run, does that affect the command to run? [00:14] Jordan_U, what are the implications of that overwriting? [00:15] /list [00:17] Interesting - I thought it was only when I tried raid recovery, but the system just crashed all on its own. So it might not be the sata controller at all. Well, great... [00:25] * thiebaude where is everyone going [00:25] thiebaude, dunno [00:25] could anyone help with a theme?

[00:26] *many [00:26] c4g, what is your question? [00:26] I'm trying to clone a disk from a fedora 10 box to a larger drive. if im to use dd for the task, would I have to copy the same partitioning scheme before running dd [00:27] itd bring the partition info with it [00:27] thiebaude, want to install a bar at the bottom of screen [00:27] but it wouldnt fill the whole drive [00:27] like the mac look [00:28] c4g, click on the top panel,new panel [00:28] c4g, right click [00:29] i don't care if it doesnt fill the drive. so then dd if=/dev/sda of=dev/sdb bs=64k conv=notrunc,noerror would carry the partitioning of the first drive with it and booting should be possible from the other drive [00:29] done [00:30] Can anybody help me with the fact that ALSA is apparently broken? [00:30] c4g, you mean a dock? [00:30] It makes no sound. I have to sqitch things to OSS to make them work, and even then, half thetime all I get is silence. [00:30] any help with GPG errors?

I've got Vista and Ubuntu dual-booting, everything is working great... I'm learning slowly but surely... My question is this: I'm eligible for a Windows 7 Upgrade, when I upgrade Vista to 7 will it mess with my dual-booting? [00:31] yes [00:31] How stable is the current alpha of Karmic Koala ? [00:31] patri_: Each time there is a kernel update a new entry gets added to the menu.lst, the lines with a single comment ("#") before them are options for what should go in those entries, like what kernel parameters to use [00:31] !9.10 [00:31] a dock i guess [00:31] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:31] c4g, im not sure [00:31] Aldo: It absolutely will. [00:31] Aldo: So talk to people BEFORE you apply the upgrade. [00:31] That's why I'm here :) Any idea what steps i'll need to take to make it work?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:32] Aldo, whenyou upgrade to 7 then it will replace vista [00:32] anyone here set up dspam on Jaunty? I'm looking for a howto ... [00:32] Jordan_U: can I just add "nohz=off" under the proper section in menu.lst? [00:32] I can cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp and get sound, but aplay does nothing. ever. [00:33] Hi sometimes when I resume from a suspend, my computer will fail to start: i will get no signal on my monitor and none of my keys on my keyboard will work. I have an nvidia geforce 6400 and wifi module rt2870sta which I am guessing is one of the issues. The only thing that I can see in the logs is that my wifi module fails to unload on suspend... any help? [00:33] and things that use alsa always whine about it nt working. [00:33] or just a "it's way hard, you don't want to do it." [00:33] patri_: Yes, add it after "# defoptions=quiet" [00:34] patri_: So it would end up being "# defoptions=quiet nohz=off" [00:34] thx, I'll try it [00:35] patri_: And yes you will need to do things a bit differently if you want to run update-grub from the LiveCD [00:36] will placing the nohz=off param there apply it at boot? [00:36] why do i die in open arena afer one shot? do i must have a mouse for it? otherwise i cant move sight around or actualy can use the keyboard? [00:36] or should I modify any other section at menu.lst? [00:37] and also - how can i block programs from accessing the internet and how can i make xchat have spell check? [00:37] patri_: You can either modify the first line starting with "kernel" or you can add the parameter at boot by pressing "e" when the menu comes up [00:37] echo [00:38] Hi sometimes when I resume from a suspend, my computer will fail to start: i will get no signal on my monitor and none of my keys on my keyboard will work.

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:53] funky, 9.04 [00:53] funkyHat: I figured, but i didn't know if there was some in built functionality like with cron for time [00:54] and which pass should I enter when the system asks me for an "admin password"?

In windows I was able to go back and forth in my files and folders with my mouse hotkeys, but im not able to in ubuntu. The keys do work in firefox though. Any ideas how to get this working?

Since /sys is not a normal file system this doesn't work [01:05] jordan_u: oh ok, that makes sense. now if i can only get susp/resume working o_O [01:05] accol: Do you have a windows install CD ( to run fdisk /MBR ) ? [01:05] hey people [01:05] rcayea: not really. gconf-editor is similar ina ppearance to regedit, but not all applications use gconf [01:05] its a netbook [01:05] so it had a recovery partition [01:05] but it wont even let me get to that [01:05] can somebody help me with a problem [01:06] wow, i am sick and fscking tied of jaunty jackalope sucking at anything print-related [01:06] thanks funkyHat.

[01:08] brandon: poke an unfolded paperclip into the little hole in your DVD drive [01:08] that works too [01:08] Does anyone have any experience with uShare? [01:09] accol: You may be able to boot windows from the UNR flash drive if UNR uses grub ( I don't know if it does or not ) [01:09] spO: ok, can you check whether either flashplugin-nonfree or flashplugin-installer are installed in synaptic? [01:09] naw u can do console eject [01:09] ya just type eject [01:09] thats what im trying....but how would i delete ubuntu and make windows take the rest of the hd? [01:09] yep [01:10] accol: Then once booted into windows run "fdisk /MBR" [01:10] what does that do? [01:10] anyone use powernowd? [01:10] can VLC stream input from say a mic, w/o it having to be saved to a file first [01:11] I have files starting and ending with a '-' without quotes, I can't seem to move them via commandline. I'd like to be able to SSH this, which would mean I need to do them via terminal, any ideas? [01:11] accol: You can resize your windows partition to take up the whole drive again but you won't be able to boot untill you either run "fdisk /MBR" or create a /boot partition and re-install grub [01:11] thankx [01:12] ok so type that command in when i get into windows and i should be cool? [01:12] magikid, Hey im wondering, if you think i need imwheel or not, if the buttons are working in firefox, but not gnome filemanager, do i need it?

[01:12] yea but i am going to have my stepdads freind look at it to make sure i didnt do something stupid like i did last time [01:13] bobbob1016_: You can also do something like instead of "-fiename" use "./-filename" [01:13] Jordan_U, I did "mv -foo.bar- /path/to/location" and it said "invalid option [01:13] danbryan: If you want to be able to move around the file manager with your mouse, I'd say use it.

[01:16] k === zed_ is now known as mynameisnotquaid [01:16] Jordan_U, Yeah, I want to rename them, to the same name, just without the '-'s === larry is now known as Guest27500 [01:16] magikid, what would i put in my .imwheelrc for gnome filebrowser? [01:16] hi guys, how do I monitor the temperature of a x58 motherboard with a core i7 processor installed ?, I've tried lm-sensors but it didn't detect any sensors. [01:16] Jordan_U, I could do them one at a time, but I'd prefer a command that could do it [01:17] do i go to preferences [01:17] brandon: type /nick newname [01:17] abe3k: did you run sensor-detect? [01:17] ctmjr ; yes and it said Sorry, no sensors were detected [01:17] the forward slash tells your irc client that waht you type next is a command not a message [01:18] type /nick newname [01:18] is ubuntu slower after hibernating (like windows)? [01:18] bobbob1016_: try "rename -v --no-act -- 's/-//g' *" if that looks right then remove the "--no-act" to actually change the file names [01:18] brandon: no type just /nick newname [01:18] ok [01:18] danbryan: add this to your ~/.imwheelrc file http://magikid.pastebay.com/57865 === brandon is now known as newname [01:19] im rlly tired, where is the software-sources list? (forgot) [01:19] i figured it out [01:19] newname: now youve got the idea :) === newname is now known as ravenq [01:19] ok this is good [01:20] thanx [01:20] ravenq: np [01:20] sorry i have had linux for like four years and i still dont know the basics [01:20] Jordan_U, One last thing, how would I get it to remove duplicates, as in ones with either (1) or (2) or whatever in the name? [01:20] That last one worked by the way, thanks [01:21] guys, how do I monitor the temperature of a x58 motherboard with a core i7 processor installed ?, I've tried lm-sensors but it didn't detect any sensors. [01:22] bobbob1016_: rm -i *{1,2,3,4} [01:23] Jordan_U, Would that remove everything with a {1} or just a 1, or a (1)? [01:23] ok i got the wrong cd thing out [01:24] i have a cd one and a dvd one i got the cd out what did i do wrong [01:24] abe3k: oh you can run this and get the temp, in a terminal type acpi -V but i only know of lm-sensors for monitoring am sure there must be something else [01:25] bobbob1016_: That would just remove files that ended in 1,2,3,or4, to remove anything with a number try "rm -i *{1,2,3,4}*" [01:25] abe3k: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=220570 [01:26] abe3k: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1128307 (source) [01:26] Jordan_U, So rm -i *{(1),(2),(3),(4)}* would remove everything with a number in parenthesis? [01:26] bobbob1016_: Yes [01:27] bobbob1016_: Be sure to always use -i when you are using wild cards with rm, one extra space before a '*' and you are removing everything :) [01:27] is there a regex channel? === dbdii407 is now known as d\b [01:28] jw... anyway, anybody know how to disable paste on middle click? [01:28] Jordan_U, It says syntax error, unexpected token '(', so should I try *\({1,2,3,4}\)* or something? [01:28] apparently its an X thing, its not controlled in the shortcuts or mouse options [01:28] lubosz : thanks buddy [01:28] hi [01:28] Hi, I'm finding a very odd problem. When I enter "find libfreetype*" into my terminal, searching under /usr/libs the file I'm looking for (libfreetype.so.6) is found, however it is not shown in Nautilus, even with displaying hidden files. How could this be??? [01:28] hey does anyone know how I can add a new panel to my secondary monitor. Everytime I attempt to create a new one it defaults to the incorrect monitor and stick to it so when I reposition it only does so on the one screen. I think this is a bug =/ [01:28] bobbob1016_: Yes [01:28] !hi|KnifeySpooney [01:28] KnifeySpooney: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [01:29] you can move panels between monitors by holding alt and dragging [01:29] coaxmt: look for settings for "primary selection" - that's what that feature is called [01:29] lol [01:29] coaxmt, no you cant [01:29] ok, thanks. Any suggestions as to where? or just gconf-editor? [01:29] Jordan_U, Thanks, helped a lot. [01:30] bobbob1016_: np [01:30] coaxmt: that is one of the features of X that I miss the most when I use windows, though, so I don't know how tobdisable it myself [01:30] tuxxy: well, I can. How do you have dual-monitors set up? [01:30] Hi. Is it a known bug that Totem crashes when a laptop is suspended ? If not... is there anything I can do about it ? [01:30] coaxmt, with nvidia and Im using Jaunty [01:30] Question - when it comes to setting up a Samba server to act as a backup SAN for a house for 3 users, is it probably a good idea to auto download + install all updates? [01:30] funkyHat: I keep accidently pasting stuff into thing, and I don't want to [01:30] I could move them as you say in previous versions [01:31] tom___: Are you searching in /usr/lib/ or /usr/libs? [01:31] Jordan_U, I'm a comp-sci major, but my school dropped the Unix-programming class before I could take it, again, thanks for helping === d\b is now known as dbdii407 [01:32] @KnifeySpooney, I#m looking in usr/lib [01:32] tuxxy: well, If you are using twinview, you should be able to alt-drag them. I can (in jaunty). Can you drag them using alt to different places on the same monitor? [01:32] coaxmt: yeah I can see why it would be annoying [01:32] Whitor: do you have details on the crash? why should you suspend while running? music? [01:32] coaxmt, thankyou sir it worked a treat [01:32] np [01:32] damn I didnt knwo they changed it to alt [01:32] ok so i am checking media and nothing are in the folders for cdrom or cdrom0 [01:33] Any time I try and run a Direct3D game under wine after upgrading to 9.04, I get page faults and it crashes out (doesnt happen on non-direct3d apps such as photoshop), hl2/portal/etc used to work.

When I unsuspend, totem is no longer running. no crash details [01:34] Whitor: run totem in a terminal, and get the output [01:34] lubosz, let me start totem in a terminal and see if any errors are output there [01:34] lol [01:34] right [01:34] anyone know the .mil ip range [01:35] ok... going to get booted from the network when I suspend ... back in a minute [01:35] could someone help cause im lost [01:35] BaudThief, is this wine from the ubuntu repos or wine repos? [01:35] @bypass: http://www.governmentsecurity.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=5818 [01:35] BaudThief: First try the latest version of wine from teh wine repositories, if that doesn't work ask in #wine [01:35] goodman thax [01:35] BaudThief: Sorry, #winehq [01:35] Hey.

[01:37] Inkjet [01:37] With a Acer Aspire 4350. [01:37] I mean Aspire 4530. [01:37] willimm: when you plug it in is it autodetected ? [01:37] It's networked. [01:37] The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 166 error_code 11 request_code 133 minor_code 19) [01:38] anyone seen halo wars [01:38] willimm: you have an IP inkjet printer ? [01:38] mase_wk:_: Yes. [01:38] kewl i didn't know they existed [01:38] It's wireless. [01:38] Again, it's a HP Officejet 6500 wireless. [01:38] nice. ok well in that case, just point it to 9100 on its ip range [01:38] and that should work [01:38] lubosz, a video or mp3 needs to be playing or paused. Simply having Totem with no media loaded all works fine [01:38] OK. [01:38] Trying... [01:38] lubosz, the error generated is above [01:39] Not super important ...

[02:37] shawn_: for vim install vim-full, to get syntax highlight etc [02:37] teddy_: #ubuntu-beginner [02:37] hey guys what u think is the best browser in terms of speed,browsing???? [02:37] no it was somting more [02:37] so , i imagine with 1342 people here it's very active? [02:37] I just downloaded and installed VIM but how do I start it up now? [02:38] i think i did but i'll check === ck is now known as Guest32019 [02:38] shawn_, run "vim" on the cli? [02:38] hi anyone knows that there are no parameters to pass to alsa to run the internal subwoofer of a notebook toshiba x205?, help me please [02:38] shawn_: On a terminal simply type vim. You may not like it. [02:38] you people use technical words... [02:38] shawn_: if you dont, maybe vim is not the right thing for you [02:38] shawn_, it's not very easy to use. [02:38] Why qemu isn't available on ubuntu? [02:38] but people who use it, LOVE it. [02:38] I LOVE it [02:38] arrrghhh What makes it hard to use? [02:38] anyone?? [02:38] shawn_: try eclipse + pydev, or just ipython (live interpreter) [02:38] best browser for ubuntu? [02:39] shawn_: just install geany [02:39] The20Year1: #debian is quieter now that Ubuntu is popular. ;) [02:39] shawn_: its an ide. Vim is a text editor [02:39] jimbeam12: firefox? [02:39] shawn_, it has syntaxes all its own. and it's a little tough getting used to, not many text editors act like it does. it's big amoungst programmers tho. [02:39] Serraphyn: I would try to set vesa as the driver in xorg.conf, it won't be all ok, but it might work better [02:39] jimbeam12: I despise every web browser. [02:39] opothehippo: can you debug python with geany? [02:39] fbianconi, will that allow me still to have decent color depth? [02:39] Can Ubuntu 9.04 read acc audio and h.264 audio ? Is there any package in the repository ? [02:40] lubosz: not quite sure. It was my GUI ide of choice when I fiddled with programming for a bit. [02:40] archos_, it is. [02:40] jimbeam12, yea, each browser has its downsides. i use firefox for the extensibility, and it's fast _enough_ for me. [02:40] opothehippo: its good for c++, but i dont use it for python [02:40] jimbeam12: you can try epiphany, konqueror or chromium [02:40] jimbeam12, with opendns, i don't really notice a difference. there's a lot of "lightweight" browsers, but those usually also come with limited functionality. [02:40] arrrghhh Well is it something that I really should learn? [02:41] Serraphyn: it should, but not hardware acceleration [02:41] shawn_, your call. if you like graphic editors, i'd stick with those. [02:41] arrrghhh Ive only ever used graphic editors [02:41] CLI type editors are more difficult to learn - but are usually more powerful if you get to know all the little ins and outs. [02:41] what arrrghhh said [02:42] How do I make my cli exit VIM? [02:42] shawn_: type : then q [02:42] shawn_: so :q [02:42] why does the screen saver start when i play open arena? [02:42] shawn_, shift zz [02:42] VIM is extremely powerful, but not very "intuitive" in the sense of point-and-click "wysiwyg" editors. [02:42] opothehippo :q isnt working [02:42] ok i reinstalled it but need to unplug ethernet cord to check [02:43] there is anyway to make a command to disable the screen saver when i play a game? [02:43] hi durt it works yet [02:43] shawn_, worse comes to worse just close the command window :P [02:43] shawn_: http://blog.interlinked.org/tutorials/vim_tutorial.html [02:43] thx [02:43] shawn_: http://pydev.org/ [02:43] arrrghhh I have it running in my pop up terminal xD [02:43] lol [02:43] brb i hope [02:44] shawn_, don't know what you mean by that, but :q is how you quit vim. you'll see a little "command prompt" so-to-speak appear in the bottom left hand corner. [02:44] esc - : - q [02:45] There are two modes in VIM, insert and command mode. A little tricky to get the hang of but awesome once you do. [02:45] Im in insert I think I need command mode to quit? [02:45] no joy!! [02:46] shawn_, esc for command mode [02:46] mgv2: i had that problem when I played tremulous [02:46] hey [02:46] durt If you happen to know of avant window manager Im using the pop up terminal from there... So escape just closes it xD [02:46] mgv2: i ended up just disabling the screen saver all together. i usually shut off my display when I get up anyway [02:46] so can anyone help me sort out my pulse issues? the init script runs pulse, but i get no audio. when i run "pulseaudio -D" as my user, i get audio, but pulse dies every time the audio stream dies.... [02:46] I'm downloading the netbook remix of ubuntu, which is in a .img file and I've been using unetbootin to write .iso to a thumb drive for installation. [02:47] doughed2003: ok you can try and use wicd i think it is in the repo's and see if it will connect for you [02:47] However unetbootin can't handle .img files as near as I can tell, anyone have any suggestions? [02:47] !info wicd [02:47] wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.9-2 (jaunty), package size 247 kB, installed size 1860 kB [02:47] wicd is my favorite [02:48] hello, I'm looking for help with using two different graphics cards at the same time on kubuntu hh [02:48] i'll try it but it removes the network manager in the procces [02:49] I have an ATI Radeon (fglrx) and an Intel 865 - I'd like one to run my 1280x1024 lcd monitor and the other to run my 1920x1080p lcd tv [02:49] can anyone help me with this? [02:49] Cryp71c: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR/Installation/Easy [02:49] ok here goes but i my lose connection [02:50] doughed2003: oh did not know that well it is up to you i just use the command line to connect so do not know too much about the gui for networking [02:50] Hi, I just did a fresh install of x64 kernel 26.6.28-15... I'm running into all sorts of problems. Random crashes, etc. Sometimes when I try to open a log it will close on me. Occasionally the screen goes black and opens up to the login screen. All sorts of stuff. Any idea where I should start? === mattgirv is now known as mattgirv|zzz [02:50] donnybrasco: many ati cards no longer use fglrx. (just a heads up) I only use nvidia cards - so thats about all i know on your question. [02:50] colinmarc, is your processor x64 compatible? [02:51] yes [02:51] So for a graphical editor you recommend Geany? [02:51] Geany - is a very nice text editor [02:51] E1500, dual core 775 [02:51] shawn_: I like gedit a lot. [02:51] dr_willis: it's an older card [02:52] magikid Can gedit run things directly from there without having to save it and run from command line every single test? [02:52] it's in a foxconn G45M-S using the onboard x4500HD [02:54] shawn_: There's a plugin that comes with it External Tools that allows you to run scripts and commands from in gedit === The is now known as Guest19814 [02:55] donnybrasco: you are most likely Not using the fglrx driver then. [02:55] lubosz, those instructions only work from linux =\ [02:56] nevermind. windows instructions are at the bottom. [02:56] any help? [02:56] hello all [02:57] Cryp71c: [02:57] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-netbook-remix-install/ [02:57] !hi|The-Last-C [02:57] The-Last-C: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [02:58] =) [02:58] Anyone go to the linux fest? [02:58] quick question with linux - when trying to install a dekstop ,and you run out of space , can you just use a apt-get repair type command once you've got more space? [02:59] What language is Ubuntu itself programmed in? Is it C++ or something? [02:59] dr_willis: in system settings/monitor & display it shows my intel 865's driver as i810 and the ATI Radeon (fglrx)'s driver as ati [02:59] donnybrasco: so you are using the i810, and 'ati' drivers then. [03:00] anyone know a Linux txt editor that does this function in notepad? http://tr.im/A3ou [03:00] anyone? [03:00] netbook: you could summarize the function. Not everyone is going to open a browser just to see the actual question [03:01] seems everyone doesn't want to help. haha... This is my first time being on linux; wish I could help. [03:01] The20Year1: ran out of space while installing... that could be a bit hard to fix. [03:01] Dr_Willis. If you put .log at beginning of a .txt in notepad, all entries will be auto dated by system time [03:01] lol, hope it [03:01] dr_willis: that seems correct - can I use both at the same time? [03:02] netbook: cant say that ive ever noticed any 'auto date files' feature in any of the text editors. but i havent really looked.. i imagine emacs can do it - it can do most everything else. [03:02] it's for my phone , I got debian working on it, however there's no desktop , and I started installing the desktop and ran out of space, due to the image size being too low [03:02] Dr_Willis, not vim? Vim is what I am used to [03:02] donnybrasco: fire up that display config tool and see.. I only use nividia now a days [03:02] have you tried lxde [03:02] The20Year1: I'm not sure but if it's debian, sounds like you should be in #debian [03:03] netbook: check the vim docs, and theres 1000's of vim features i never use. so it might be able to. or its proberly scriptable some how. [03:03] shawn_, If you're talking about the linux kernel it's gnu C and some assembly. [03:03] Alright Dr_Willis i will keep you posetd [03:03] i am trying to setup a journal [03:03] i got ubuntu on my g1(android phone) with the lxde desktop enviroment [03:03] netbook: i use TiddlyWiki to keep 'journals' :) [03:03] netbook: its a bit easier to do wth it. [03:04] cray , how is lxde? [03:04] work time for me . bye all [03:04] i got like half of icevm downloaded before it ran out of space on mine [03:04] How do I get these external tools for gedit so I can run scripts right through the terminal? [03:05] shawn_, also you might want to take a look at pype for python programming. [03:05] I'm Here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [03:05] durt: pype?
