[00:40] <Sertse> hi
[00:40] <likemindead> !hi | Sertse
[00:40] <ubottu> Sertse: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay!
[00:40] <Sertse> anyone know how to create an open in root custom action ?
[00:42] <likemindead> In *buntu, you need to use sudo to gain root access, Sertse.
[00:42] <likemindead> !sudo
[00:42] <ubottu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE)
[00:52] <violet523> been trying to get opengl working with my nvidia geforce fx 5200 and although /var/log/Xorg.0.log is showing no problems, gdm seems to lock up at a blank screen
[02:11] <Ochian> !pdf
[02:11] <ubottu> pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source)
[02:12] <Ochian> Awesome, but how do I read it in Firefox?  I'm tired of having to open the files separately.
[05:13] <Scutum> hello, what is the default keymap file that runs on xubuntu?
[05:23] <nic1> Hi, wat is XPending?
[05:26] <Scutum> where can I find it??
[05:29] <Scutum> how can I choose a keymap?
[05:46] <Sysi> in my menu → settings is keyboard layout, or something like that
[05:47] <Sysi> you propably could also modify xorg.conf
[05:54] <ruslan_> could anyone help me set up the extra drive i have connected to my server running ubuntu
[05:58] <Sysi> ruslan_: have you tried #ubuntu-server ?
[05:58] <Balsaq> will a dimension 8250 with 2.4g 512 256 60hd be able to run xubuntu properly?
[05:59] <Sysi> that's pretty powerful for xubuntu :P
[05:59] <Balsaq> well i was worried about the ram..the rest looks good
[05:59] <Balsaq> 256
[06:00] <Balsaq> is the 512 cache sort of like a lilextra ram?
[06:00] <Sysi> i had 256 with hardy and it was good
[06:01] <Sysi> but newer's may are bit less light
[06:01] <Balsaq> i can tbelieve this thing was ordered with a 2.4 proc and only 256 ram?  well are you good at the install of xubu, i want to throw in this beast right now
[06:02] <Balsaq> the hd is empy was wiped clean
[06:02] <Sysi> 256mb was much "in the old days" :)
[06:03] <Balsaq> this one is out of a local business was ordered in 93'
[06:03] <Balsaq> inside it is clean no dust?
[06:03] <Balsaq> just got it
[06:03] <Balsaq> 2slots open for ram too
[06:04] <Balsaq> sysi are you good on the install of xubu
[06:04] <Sysi> it's easy
[06:05] <Sysi> and there are good instructions
[06:05] <Balsaq> yeah i did my 1st ubu a couple weeks ago but i was in here getting some help too
[06:05] <Balsaq> maybe it goes in exactly like ubu
[06:06] <Sysi> if you just want xubuntu there and nothing special there's nothing complicated
[06:06] <Balsaq> well just and internet runner for now...may worry about other stuff later
[06:07] <Balsaq> they gave me an xp disc but what in the heck can ya do with xp on 256ram
[06:08] <Balsaq> or maybe when ya dont have ram it just runs on the processor and the HD?
[06:09] <Balsaq> actually it doent have a moden
[06:09] <Sysi> i've used xp with 256 but it's nightmere nowdays
[06:09] <Balsaq> i think she;ll run better on xubu dont you
[06:10] <Sysi> veery much
[06:10] <Balsaq> have to get an ethernet cord to go online but could still instaLL IT RIGHT
[06:12] <Balsaq> wonder if these old timer can be wireless
[06:25] <Balsaq> i looked at the service tag info at dell.com and i dont see how it can even be connected to the internet?
[06:26] <Balsaq> no ehternet card or 10/100 thing on the specs at dell/ isnt that standard?
[06:35] <Balsaq> sysi are you good with hardware
[06:38] <_Pete_>  Balsaq: ever thinked coming good yourself?
[06:38] <_Pete_> instead asking what others know why dont you learn yourself?
[06:39] <Balsaq> well Pete i just opened it up right here in front of me and there is nothinginher that i can see that would allow me to hook to the internet
[06:42] <Balsaq> if you prefer a silent room just let me know, not a problem, just making conversation while i try to figure this beast out
[06:47] <_Pete_> :)
[07:18] <Balsaq> _Techie_ these puters turned out to be 2.4's
[07:18] <_Techie_> not bad
[07:19] <Balsaq> doesnt say D on the sevrice tag thing at dell like yours though?
[07:19] <Balsaq> cant tell what they are doesnt say p4 either
[07:20] <_Techie_> there should be a sticker on the back with the model number
[07:20] <Balsaq> if i give you the service tag will you look at the specs dell publishes...i am looking at it now
[07:20] <_Techie_> that will tell you what to look for if you want to find the specs
[07:20] <_Techie_> yep
[07:21] <Balsaq> 72mq821....5 are just like this one and one is different
[07:21] <Balsaq> i have been studying it for an hour
[07:21] <_Techie_> umm, service tag is different from model number
[07:21] <Balsaq> i dont even see the internet connectors on it
[07:22] <Balsaq> oh its an 8250
[07:22] <_Techie_> k
[07:22] <Balsaq> but that tagat dell . com will get you it particular config
[07:22] <_Techie_> dell dimenion 8250, or inspiron?
[07:22] <Balsaq> d d 8250 yes
[07:22] <Balsaq> that tag wil l give you this exact puters specs as the company ordered it
[07:23] <Balsaq> i wrote it all down
[07:24] <_Techie_> are you able too ship one overseas
[07:25] <Balsaq> yeah but the shipping would be more than the value would cost ya a fortune i think
[07:25] <_Techie_> bugger, coz i could upgrade one of those cheaply
[07:26] <Balsaq> well check the shipping somehow they weigh 28lbs
[07:26] <Balsaq> got 6 monitors too
[07:26] <Balsaq> but they are not the new flat ones
[07:27] <Balsaq> go to dell click support see where you put in the service tag and see what these are...fat ones
[07:27] <Balsaq> but no ram??//only 256 i think
[07:27] <_Techie_> thats alright, ddr2 is cheap enough
[07:28] <Balsaq> you forgot it rdram
[07:28] <Balsaq> do you know how to look at the service code thing at dell?
[07:28] <Balsaq> these open up like a huge clam shell
[07:29] <_Techie_> im gonna have to go now, gonna watch some movies with mates
[07:29] <_Techie_> and im gonna run out of battery
[07:29] <Balsaq> have fun
[07:30] <_Techie_> i might be back later tonigh

[10:14] <MrKassner> I'm kinda new to IRC so I don't really know what I'm doing. Lol. But is anyone here? As far as I know I'm in the Xubuntu channel.
[10:15] <knome> MrKassner, yes.
[10:16] <MrKassner> Ah okay, been awhile since I was on IRC, and this program is diffrent then the last one I used so I'm having to learn allover again. Kinda quiet in here. I was hoping to find someone here to help me with a problem on Xubuntu.
[10:17] <ablomen> MrKassner, if you ask your question someone might be able to help :)
[10:19] <MrKassner> Well, it seems that my one problem I'm having no one can answer, very long story short I have a laptop that I'm using for a network bridge and nothing else on Windows 7, only problem is the laptop would overheat/freeze after a few days if not restarted, so I wanted to try making a network bridge on Xubuntu, and after trying for over a week with forums and looking on Google, still no one can tell me how to make a simple network
[10:20] <knome> MrKassner, you mean sharing network from the xubuntu pc?
[10:20] <MrKassner> I've tried Firestarter firewall, it woulden't work, installed bridge-utils but no one could tell me how to use it, and a bunch of other stuff, but no luck.
[10:20] <MrKassner> Yes.
[10:21] <MrKassner> I'm not a complete noob with Linux, but I am still rather new.
[10:21] <knome> MrKassner, at least there is this one thread where this is solved: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370&highlight=share+internet
[10:25] <MrKassner> Thank you for the link, I will go try this real quick, which will take me offline for a lil, when I get back I'll tell you how it went. Thanks again

[13:02] <SidGBF> hi all
[13:04] <SidGBF> Does eeeXubuntu still exists?
[13:06] <knome> SidGBF, install xubuntu and use the array.org kernel == eeexubuntu
[13:08] <SidGBF> knome: See... I don't have any idea about what are you talking.
[13:09] <knome> SidGBF, i don't know if the literal "eeexubuntu" still exists, but if you install the default xubuntu and use the array.org kernel repository (see http://array.org/ubuntu/), it is practically the same as the literal "eeexubuntu"
[13:10] <SidGBF> What I was looking for was a xfce os, but I want to know if that netbook launcher works with it
[13:11] <knome> SidGBF, "netbook launcher" == ?
[13:11] <SidGBF> http://users.jyu.fi/~esheospo/random/netbook_launcher_problem.png
[13:12] <knome> SidGBF, there is always the ubuntu netbook remix.
[13:12] <knome> SidGBF, also i suppose the same packages that are used in UNR will work with xubuntu
[13:12] <knome> SidGBF, i'm not sure though.
[17:19] <pingo-> hi
[17:20] <Pres-Gas> Hey there pingo-
[17:20] <pingo-> im with a problem to mount .iso images.
[17:20] <pingo-> i get a error 'wrong fs type ,,, '
[17:21] <pingo-> im using Gmount-iso
[17:21] <pingo-> I tried to use gisomount
[17:22] <pingo-> it's says that isnt a .iso file
[17:23] <pingo-> can you help me?
[17:24] <Pres-Gas> Is it one of the *ubu isos?
[17:26] <Pres-Gas> pingo-, have you done an md5sum on it to make sure it is okay?
[17:26] <pingo-> yes
[17:26] <pingo-> this .iso
[17:27]  * genii thinks about udf vs iso9660
[17:27] <pingo-> this file I mean, I use it in windows, no problems.
[17:28] <Pres-Gas> What version of *ubu are you running, pingo-?
[17:29] <pingo-> 8.04
[17:35] <Pres-Gas> pingo-, can you mount it with something like (in the terminal) "mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mountpoint"?
[17:35] <Pres-Gas> Put sudo in front of that
[17:36] <pingo-> 2 secs.
[17:36] <Pres-Gas> If that does not work...see if "sudo mount -o loop -t udf /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mountpoint".
[17:39] <pingo-> yup, 'mount -o loop -t udf /path....' worked!!!
[17:39] <pingo-> thanks!!
[17:39] <pingo-> :)
[17:39] <pingo-> :)
[17:39] <Pres-Gas> Okay...like genii implied udf was better, but your utility does not support it
[17:40] <Pres-Gas> pingo-, you may also want to look into fuse and see what is available with iso files there
[17:40] <Pres-Gas> !fuse
[17:40] <ubottu> FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE.  Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here:  http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems
