| frenzy42 | so i upgraded to the beta this after noon on my laptop and now my screen won't stop flickering | 02:03 |
| frenzy42 | how should i stop it | 02:06 |
| rr72 | is anyone else having problems with remote places in gigolo not opening a file browser on 9.10? | 02:19 |
| rr72 | does xubuntu 9.10 gigolo come with support for sftp/ssh remote location or does it needed to be added? | 02:50 |
| Balsaq | is there a way to clear my screen of all the previous text or chat? | 04:54 |
| leaf-sheep | Does anybody here know the best command for slim-xubuntu-desktop? | 05:04 |
| leaf-sheep | >_> | 05:04 |
| _Techie_ | yay, im down $30 but im back on the net again | 06:18 |
| Balsaq | yeah huh Tech | 06:35 |
| Balsaq | _Techie_ you were saying i outta do the server thing here with my old computer. they are giving me those old dels tomorrow.....how would it benefit my network if i did that? | 06:38 |
| _Techie_ | yeah, i can guide you through setting up a ZNC server and bypassing work firewalls and proxy's so you can use a proper IRC connection | 06:39 |
| _Techie_ | and it will also be a great learning experience | 06:40 |
| Balsaq | bypass? they are all going to be at my home? | 06:40 |
| _Techie_ | no, i mean if your work has a restrictive proxy or firewall implemented at work i can help you tunnel out to your home connection | 06:41 |
| Balsaq | oh yes they got a big one | 06:41 |
| _Techie_ | lemme guess, you can only open web pages | 06:41 |
| Balsaq | and a whole dept of pro hackers all over it | 06:41 |
| Balsaq | huge corp w/IT dept | 06:42 |
| Balsaq | we'll do it here | 06:42 |
| Balsaq | can i get free internet here at home? | 06:42 |
| _Techie_ | no, unless your ISP implements some sort of free traffic policy | 06:42 |
| Balsaq | the school is about 300 yards away | 06:43 |
| _Techie_ | you thinking about connecting to their wireless? | 06:44 |
| Balsaq | well if possible | 06:44 |
| Balsaq | i pay 20 per month for this stuff | 06:44 |
| _Techie_ | thats not too bad | 06:45 |
| Balsaq | but wouldnt like it if i get bumped off all the time | 06:45 |
| Balsaq | is that why you are always in and out | 06:45 |
| _Techie_ | nah, im in and out because i go do other stuff | 06:46 |
| Balsaq | figured that | 06:46 |
| _Techie_ | or im at school and ihave to go to my next class | 06:46 |
| Balsaq | i like my connection but would enjoy ridin on the school too for fun but not to cause any trouble | 06:47 |
| Balsaq | people pull in the lot and use it i hear | 06:47 |
| Balsaq | 300 yds is too far isnt it | 06:47 |
| _Techie_ | depends on the strength of the network | 06:47 |
| _Techie_ | 06:48 | |
| _Techie_ | 300 yards = 274.32 meters | 06:48 |
| Balsaq | buy anyway, knowing it all about my home network do i still need or have use for a server | 06:48 |
| _Techie_ | you will be pushing it to the limit if its just a standard connection | 06:48 |
| _Techie_ | depends | 06:49 |
| Balsaq | so do i have any reason to have a server in my home? | 06:49 |
| _Techie_ | well from a professional point of view, no... from a hobbyist point of view, it wouldnt hurt | 06:49 |
| Balsaq | as of tommorow i will have 7 PC and a lapper | 06:49 |
| _Techie_ | is this a different lapper, or are you counting the mac? | 06:50 |
| Balsaq | likie can 1 be a server that host a website that is 24-7 or something (no the mac is the same) | 06:50 |
| _Techie_ | kk, yeah website hosting is easy | 06:51 |
| _Techie_ | you could even do that from whatever computer you use as your main box | 06:51 |
| Balsaq | ok so the server really is not needed | 06:51 |
| Balsaq | i thought it proteceted the otheres or something | 06:51 |
| _Techie_ | well you could have it as mp3 storage and stream your music to the lappy via itunes | 06:52 |
| Balsaq | well the music would be long after i get good at stuff | 06:52 |
| Balsaq | only do radio usually for some reason-but occasionally play utube rock videoa aand fire up the jackson | 06:54 |
| Balsaq | i bought a 22 in mon today for 89...stole it | 06:55 |
| Balsaq | flat panel | 06:55 |
| _Techie_ | nice | 06:56 |
| Balsaq | cuase all those dell come with the big ole type | 06:56 |
| Balsaq | hey you should look up the specs and see if there is any hacks i could do too make em better...think i will just toss some rdram in em and run those standard dell internal tests | 06:57 |
| Balsaq | 1. will get xp pro sp3, 2, xubuntu, 3. pupptlinux 4. my old dell has ubuntu.....NETWORK | 07:00 |

| Balsaq | _Techie_ how long will it take to get a website built?..once i get the idea | 07:11 |
| _Techie_ | well, depending on the design and if you code it yourself it could take anywhere between a few days to a month+ | 07:12 |
| _Pete_ | Balsaq: depends on idea | 07:12 |
| _Techie_ | oh, hello pete | 07:13 |

| Ongaku | it is a new porn site?:D | 07:15 |
| Ongaku | that is greta | 07:16 |
| Balsaq | you see we go back and forth...if i thought my company would keep giving tons of old puters...i would stsart some kind of non profit thing to give free computeres to the needy and blend that into the buntu stuff for free OS's and link it to these chats for free support?/ i dunno | 07:18 |
| _Techie_ | Balsaq- ill see if i can find you one of my old sites | 07:19 |
| Balsaq | and if they dont know how to use it would go to their house and install it and show en how to use the buntu free | 07:19 |
| Balsaq | you see if i actually become a non profit they may give hundreds of puters...like i told you once i saw a guy get 30 one day | 07:20 |
| Balsaq | i think buntu allows people to use thier logos right? | 07:22 |
| _Techie_ | umm, im not sure | 07:22 |
| Balsaq | me neither...i know they talk about "open" | 07:22 |
| Balsaq | prolly ask em whoever they are | 07:23 |
| Balsaq | so i hope to do a couple installs tomorrow....prolly wont take long cause these processors are bigger than my clunker | 07:28 |

I googled and I didn't find anything useful. Any suggestion? All worked fine for 8.10, but with 9.04 these drivers are a nightmare..... | 09:50 |

| nikolam | hm :) did anyone heard of a program for *ubuntu that can turn computer intu mobile telephone, by using usb hardware GSM/GPRS/3G modem? | 10:51 |
| nikolam | like you are saying something and it transfers into ordinary telephone call over GSM? | 10:51 |
| lab | hi. I'm trying to install ATI drivers on jaunty 9.04. I followed these instructions and they were a disaster: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI . I googled and I didn't find anything useful. Any suggestion? All worked fine for 8.10, but with 9.04 these drivers are a nightmare..... | 10:52 |
| nikolam | lab, I always did install of ATI drivers by making .deb packages out of it and hen install | 10:52 |
| nikolam | maybe you could post your findings on phoronix.com forum, i think there are some AMD/ATI developers there answering questions | 10:53 |
| nikolam | Or try to use a bit older driver then newest one.. | 10:53 |
| nikolam | lab, try this: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page | 10:59 |
| nikolam | http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu | 10:59 |
| nikolam | http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide | 10:59 |
| lab | nikolam: not a good link | 11:02 |
| lab | already triexc | 11:02 |
| lab | tried | 11:02 |
| nikolam | did you made .deb packages? lab | 11:08 |
| nikolam | what version of amd driver you downloaded? | 11:08 |
| nikolam | you can also use #ati and #radeon channels | 11:08 |
| nikolam | My experience with Amd fglrx driver is that if driver does not behave, use older one that does. | 11:09 |
| nikolam | lab, also on pages like this where you download driver from: | 11:10 |
| nikolam | http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.36&lang=English | 11:10 |
| nikolam | there are links where you can send your requests about driver not working well and describe to them | 11:10 |
| nikolam | As workaround, untill you hit one that works well for your 9.04, you can use opensource driver that comes from ubunut | 11:11 |
| nikolam | what card it is? | 11:11 |
| nikolam | also try #ati and #radeonhd channels for fglrx and open driver, respectfully | 11:11 |
| lab | nikolam: sorry, I really appreciate your help, but I have to tell you to give me tips only if you have already experience with the problem | 11:12 |
| lab | I'm fighting with it from days and days | 11:13 |
| nikolam | lab, i installed all fglrx drivers till 9.3 on my machine on 64-bit hardy | 11:14 |
| nikolam | That is all you need | 11:14 |
| nikolam | What card it is | 11:14 |
| lab | nikolam: as said before I need instructions for jaunty. I had no problems with intrepid | 11:14 |
| nikolam | I posted you link with detailed instructions.. | 11:15 |
| lab | nikolam: they don't work. I already checked that link | 11:15 |
| nikolam | http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide | 11:15 |
| lab | nikolam: It's not good | 11:16 |
| nikolam | but what don`t work, how you installed, did you made .deb packages or installed directly with GUI? | 11:16 |
| nikolam | try also previous drivers: | 11:17 |
| nikolam | http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/previous/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx | 11:17 |
| lab | nikolam: do you have jaunty with ATI ? | 11:17 |
| nikolam | I have hardy with integrated Ati/amd graphics | 11:17 |
| nikolam | and i am stuck with latest driver | 11:18 |
| lab | nikolam: in this case you CAN'T help me | 11:18 |
| nikolam | lab, you are wrong, i helped you a lot. You can also go to phoronix.com forum and also you can go to ubuntuforums.org | 11:18 |
| nikolam | most of the answers in my history of usage i found there | 11:19 |
| nikolam | on ati discussion on ohoronix, even ati/amd developers come you can ask them | 11:19 |
| lab | nikolam: no, it's a very specific problem, associated with this version (jaunty) of ubuntu. as said before, I had no problems with the previous version. you can't help me in this way | 11:19 |
| nikolam | anyway, #ati is right channel for closed fglrx driver.. | 11:19 |
| lab | yes, in fact I'm asking in #ati too | 11:20 |
| nikolam | ok, I tried. :) Use radeonhd till you fix it :) | 11:20 |
| MaxFrames | hello | 12:49 |
| MaxFrames | stupid question: I have got a script which sets the gamma for the display; it works if I double click it; how do I make it run automatically when I log on? | 12:49 |
| MaxFrames | currently the script is in my home directory and is called .xinitrc | 12:51 |
| Sysi | in "settings" is something like "sessiosns and startup" | 12:53 |
| Sysi | an there automatic start | 12:53 |
| MaxFrames | yes I tried that, but it does not let me select the script, it does not show in the selection window | 12:53 |
| Sysi | i dont have any selection, just add | 12:54 |
| Sysi | you can run script by ./script | 12:55 |
| MaxFrames | ? | 12:55 |
| Sysi | put that to add-window; command | 12:56 |
| MaxFrames | ok, I'll try | 12:57 |
| MaxFrames | if I succeed, will the script run at PC boot or at user logon? | 12:58 |
| Sysi | on logon | 12:58 |
| MaxFrames | is there a way to run it at boot? | 12:59 |
| MaxFrames | so that any user gets the gamma adjusting? | 12:59 |
| Sysi | propably, but i don't know that | 12:59 |
| _Pete_ | MaxFrames: see /etc/rc.local | 12:59 |
| Sysi | maybe need to do on every user | 12:59 |
| === TheSheep_ is now known as TheSheep | ||
| MaxFrames | thanks, it works when I logon, I had to rename the script to something.sh | 13:04 |
| MaxFrames | I don't think it would run at boot anyway because it needs X running | 13:04 |
| jarnos | Where can I find information on which packages are included in the default xubuntu installation? | 16:07 |
| likemindead | All of them? That'd be a long list. I'm not sure. | 16:09 |
| arossouw | hello, one of our developers has written a program in QT4 , if you use kde and go to the print function on that program it gives you a list of printers locally installed, but if you do the same on xubuntu it only displays pdf and postscript printing | 16:13 |
| arossouw | any ideas | 16:13 |
| likemindead | Do you have the necessary QT libraries installed in Xubuntu, arossouw | 16:18 |
| likemindead | ? | 16:18 |
| arossouw | the developer used qtsdk-2009.02, i guess he has his own qt libraries | 16:22 |
| arossouw | he puts qt libraries into qtsdk-2009.02 and then the program uses those libraries, the qtsdsk-2009.02 gets copied to /opt folder | 16:23 |
| arossouw | apt-get install libmysqlclient16 | 16:24 |
| arossouw | apt-get install libqt4-sql-mysql | 16:24 |
| arossouw | thats whats installed | 16:24 |
| thht | hi there, i am using xubuntu 9.10 beta with some qt-written programs such as vlc and Google-Earth; how do i change the look of these programs to "blend in"? | 16:30 |
| likemindead | I don't know that you can too much, thht. | 16:35 |
| likemindead | It's like running iTunes in Windows... | 16:35 |
| thht | likemindead: i know there are some tools that provide a gtk look for qt-programs, i just forgot the name ^^ | 16:36 |
| ochosi | thht | 16:37 |
| thht | ochosi: hi | 16:37 |
| ochosi | i'm using that package, looking it up for, one sec | 16:37 |
| ochosi | thht: qgtkstyle | 16:38 |
| ochosi | unfortunately it's not in the repos | 16:38 |
| thht | ochosi: thanks i'm looking it up | 16:38 |
| ochosi | after you installed qgtkstyle you'll also need qt4config in order to change the theme to gtk | 16:38 |
| ochosi | in case you're using 64bit the package might be hard to find, i can send it to you | 16:39 |
| thht | ochosi: when i used the former 9.04 xubuntu there was a package in the repositories, did they delete it? | 16:40 |
| ochosi | oh and also (even though you might know that already): it only works for qt4 apps, qt3 apps are not affected | 16:40 |
| ochosi | thht, supposedly, frankly i don't know and i think it's a pity it's not there anymore | 16:40 |
| thht | ochosi: damn :( | 16:41 |
| thht | ochosi: i found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QGtkStyle | 16:41 |
| thht | wait a minute, i have an idea ;-) | 16:42 |
| ochosi | yeah, unfortunately there's not even a ppa for qgtkstyle | 16:43 |
| ochosi | thht, idea > waiting > listening | 16:44 |
| thht | ochosi: i checked via synaptic, there is a gtk2-engines-qtcurve package, but the description is a bit short; if i check it the package-manager wants to install an additional 170 megabytes (!) | 16:45 |
| ochosi | thht, qtcurve doesn't provide the same functionality as qgtkstyle | 16:46 |

| alegro | Hello. Can I ask a beginner question here? | 18:10 |
| Sysi | of course | 18:10 |
| alegro | Do you know why in Xubuntu 9.04 I have to change the screen resolution to 1024x768 everytime I log in? | 18:10 |
| alegro | Sysi? | 18:23 |
| Sysi | humm | 18:24 |
| Sysi | what video card? | 18:24 |
| alegro | Nvidia Riva TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro -16MB | 18:25 |
| Sysi | restricted drivers? | 18:25 |
| alegro | What? | 18:26 |
| Sysi | have you installed restricted drivers? | 18:27 |
| alegro | No, I haven't installed any drivers. | 18:27 |
| Sysi | settings → hardvare drivers | 18:27 |
| alegro | It says: No propreitary drivers are in use on this system. | 18:29 |
| Sysi | i'm not sure how good open drivers are | 18:29 |
| alegro | Should I install a proprietary driver? | 18:30 |
| Sysi | it may not work, that sounds so old | 18:31 |
| Sysi | sorry, g2g | 18:31 |
| alegro | thanks anyway | 18:31 |
| alegro | Do you know why in Xubuntu 9.04 I have to change the screen resolution to 1024x768 everytime I log in? | 18:39 |
| ochosi | alegro, you could try to mess with /etc/X11/xorg.conf (even though that shouldn't be needed in jaunty anymore) | 18:51 |
| alegro | I'm new. How do I access the file? | 18:53 |
| alegro | ocoshi? | 19:03 |
| TheSheep | !xorg.conf | 19:25 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 19:25 |
| likemindead | Should most any Bluetooth device pair with *buntu? I have a set of MOTOROKR S9-HD Bluetooth headphones that aren't showing up at all. They pair just fine with my phone. | 20:50 |
| likemindead | !bluetooth | 21:05 |
| ubottu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | hey guys | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | is the default file browser in Xubuntu livecd, thunar?? | 21:12 |
| likemindead | Yes, ActionParsnip. | 21:17 |
| likemindead | !thunar | 21:17 |
| ubottu | Thunar is a file manager for !Xfce. It is a lightweight alternative to !Nautilus and is quite similar. More info at: http://thunar.xfce.org/index.html - Want to Replace Nautilus with Thunar? See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | cool | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | can it manage smb:// like addressing for accesing remote samba shares? | 21:17 |
| rr72 | hey has anyone succesfully installed gnome on xubuntu? i get a dep issue | 21:21 |
| Sysi | yes i had, many times | 21:21 |
| Sysi | you remembered update packages? | 21:22 |
| rr72 | yes, it is telling me that gnome-vfs-obexftp is not installable, 9.10 | 21:22 |
| rr72 | bbl | 21:24 |
| Sysi | you're installing it with apt/synaptic? | 21:25 |
| Dai | if you're on 9.10, you should really be asking in +1 | 21:31 |
| Dai | at least for the next couple weeks | 21:31 |
| Danny22 | is anyone there? | 21:33 |
| TheSheep | !ask | Danny22 | 21:34 |
| ubottu | Danny22: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:34 |
| Sysi | you won't get rid of us :P | 21:34 |
| Danny22 | Does any one know haow to get parental controll for the internet? | 21:34 |
| Sysi | what? | 21:35 |
| Sysi | is my english bad or what | 21:35 |
| Danny22 | You know internet filters, so you can block things so your kids don't see it | 21:35 |
| TheSheep | Danny22: you could install squid with some parental control settings, and set up your browser to use it | 21:35 |
| Sysi | ah, bad english (not native) | 21:36 |
| Danny22 | how do you get it? | 21:36 |
| TheSheep | Danny22: it's an advanced task though | 21:36 |
| Danny22 | how hard is it? | 21:36 |
| TheSheep | Danny22: hmm... there are easier ways, say, did you try to google for it? | 21:37 |
| TheSheep | Danny22: for example this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843510 | 21:38 |
| Danny22 | ok thanks I'll try that :) | 21:38 |
| Danny22 | I went to the link you provided. all the downloads are .tar.gz can I install those? | 21:43 |
| TheSheep | Danny22: it's better to add ppa to your software sources and install using synaptic | 21:43 |
| TheSheep | !ppa | 21:43 |
| ubottu | With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 21:43 |
| Danny22 | ok | 21:44 |
