[00:53] <_Techie_> gcrazy, the other alternative may be editing your startup scripts [00:57] _Techie_ How can I do that?

[09:29] http://www.nrrrg.com/ [09:40] I need to share dicuments and pictures between xbuntu and opensuse. How? [09:45] !nfs [09:45] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [09:45] !sftp [09:45] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [09:45] !scp [09:45] SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [09:45] and, last but not least [09:45] !sshfs [09:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [09:52] I don't want to use a server [09:52] My wireless card is lame [09:52] I need to partion my HDD [09:52] Create a new partion [09:53] Where I can put my files and then make them reachable on both partions [09:55] Can I just make a partion with gparted by shrinking my root partition? [09:57] How large does my swap partion be if I have 4 GB DDR2 RAM? [10:18] domedagen: you can just mount the opensuse partition in xubuntu and vice versa [10:18] !fstab | domedagen [10:18] domedagen: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [10:19] or even use the same partition for home in both distributions [10:19] (although that might cause some problems with config files for different versions of the same applications) [10:21] Much better [10:29] Where should 'evince' or 'document viewer' be in 'applications'-menu? [10:31] Should I partionate before I install opensuse or when I install opensuse? [10:36] Is there simple way to get launcher to panel from apps-menu item? [10:38] <_Techie_> drag and drop [10:39] doesn't work [10:40] (in #xubuntu I'm talking about xfce) [10:40] <_Techie_> you could also use xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin [10:41] drag and drop should work in xfce4? [10:41] with what button? [10:44] Thesheep? [10:45] domedagen: you can create a new launcher in the panel, and then drag the menu item from /usr/share/applications to the list in the launcher's properties [10:45] No about the partioning [10:45] hould I partionate before I install opensuse or when I install opensuse? [10:46] domedagen: I don't think it matters [10:46] domedagen: as long as you create the pratitions you want [10:46] domedagen: I don't know opensuse's installer, but I suppose it can use existing partitions [10:46] Ok then as soon as my update is ready I'll try partioning [10:47] Yes it can [10:48] What file system does xubuntu use? [11:02] ext3 [11:02] not that it matters that much === [o_O] is now known as danopia` [13:10] hi [13:40] hi [13:41] i want to build an internetcafe with some computers and i wonder what the best method is to setup and master cd which can be used to install all other computers [15:14] I use the Network Manager that is found at the topright corner on the top panel in the Ubuntu OS,to access the Internet.However,when i log on to a different User,the Icon for the Manager disappears....how can i correct this? [15:21] That's a weird one, juggle. Which version of Xubuntu? [15:21] likemindead:Ubuntu 9.04 Gnome [15:22] Head on over to #ubuntu then. [15:22] yeah,i'm there .. thx [15:23] I haven't used GNOME in a long time. Sorry. [15:23] Gnome is simple,KDE is unnecessarily complex [15:24] Can Xubuntu be shipped free? [15:24] as well as ubuntu [15:24] Sysi:i visited their site and they say that they don't ship it for free [15:25] oh [15:25] i'm not sure, i use slow internet and usb-stick [15:29] how do i put icons on the taskbar from the menus? [15:29] create launcher [15:30] Sysi, but how do i get the icon there, just download a picture and hope it fits? [15:30] click default icon in setting window [15:30] Sysi:how did you get your xubuntu? [15:30] downloaded [15:31] Sysu,ok [15:31] it took one hour with my broadband [15:31] then image to memorystick with unetbootin [15:32] Sysi, most the ones i need are not in the icon menu list [15:33] at the top is different icon sets [15:33] or the menu [15:33] I generally use the torrents to get Linux distros, juggle. [15:33] :-) [15:33] or you can browse from /usr/share/icons [15:34] or ~/.icons if you have own there [15:34] likemindead, 'torrents'?

[15:36] the community i think [15:37] http://ubottu.com/ [15:38] sysi do you know if gyachi works in xubuntu? [15:38] i know it works in ubuntu [15:38] then it will [15:38] ok thanks [15:39] i did prefer gnome, but the beta has a flickering brightness problem that has been reported many times and its still not fixed, so it seems xfce is more friendly with my system [15:39] you also can install only xfce [15:40] Sysi, that is all i have installed now [15:40] i discovered vlc doesn't play stuff right, but gxine works just as good for me [15:40] i have kde, gnome and xfce in this :) [15:41] only use xfce, though [15:41] oh i see the long list of applications icons you were talking about, but some of them it still doesn't have [15:41] oh i see [15:41] "show all icons"? [15:42] starting to type starts searching [15:44] not all, not xchat and not firefox [15:45] they should be there [15:45] i typed, they didn't show up [15:45] all icons? [15:46] and you have xchat installed with packet manager? [15:46] or come by default [15:47] oh i see it thanks [15:47] i was looking applications [15:53] uh i sorta have a question [15:54] how do i pin, say, terminal to the top bar on the screen [15:54] dragging didn't work [15:55] alexander1: never used xubuntu but i think you should right click the terminal in the main menu and add to panel [15:55] Use Tilda, alexande1 ! [15:55] tilda? is that an application? [15:56] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilda_%28software%29 [15:56] "sudo apt-get install tilda" [15:56] It's amazing. :-) [15:56] Right click on it to adjust Preferences. [15:56] cool [15:57] lemme check it out [15:59] I like to center it horizontally and have it drop down (like in Quake, duh). [16:00] nice [16:00] i'think to put verve-terminal to panel [16:01] *taskbar or what's it [16:03] ok i just installed gyachi, but i don't see that icon in the list. do i need to refresh list somehow? [16:04] Sysi, you here? [16:04] ofc [16:04] it shouldn't need refresh [16:05] but needs to be opened after installation i think [16:05] Sysi, i did open it [16:05] maybe i'll just use one of the yellow smileys [16:05] but wish i could find gyachi there [16:06] all icons? [16:06] yes, and gyachi has been installed and opened [16:07] You can always "Alt+F2" to run a program. [16:07] installed with packet manager? [16:07] Sysi, yes [16:07] hmm, that's weird [16:07] Sysi, actually dpkg sorry [16:08] it was installed via dpkg [16:08] same thing but thats how i did it [16:09] hmm, dpkg isn't maybe enough intelligent [16:09] that is downloaded from somewhere? [16:10] yeah, found the download link in a forums [16:10] .deb file? [16:10] yes [16:11] is there .gyachi or something in your home folder? [16:11] https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa/+files/gyachi_1.2.2-1~jaunty_i386.deb thats the link [16:11] it's hidden [16:11] what's hidden? [16:11] folder [16:11] Sysi, how do i unhide it? [16:12] ctrl + h [16:12] where do i type that? [16:12] nowhere :P [16:12] ctrl key [16:12] in the icons list? [16:12] home folder? [16:12] in file manager [16:13] Sysi, whereis that? [16:13] ahem? [16:13] is that the same as file system? [16:14] the program you use to open folders [16:14] Sysi, in the menu? [16:14] yes [16:14] open your own folder [16:14] Sysi, its in the network list [16:14] in applications [16:15] propably there still isn't icon for the program [16:16] it worked in gnome, just dragged and dropped [16:16] maybe you just need to find one and select browse in icon choosing window [16:17] ubuntu is not exactly like xubuntu [16:19] yeah true [16:19] is there something like force quit? [16:20] that was handy for misbehaving apps [16:21] also can't figure out how to put terminal on the bar [16:21] xfce4-terminal [16:21] to command [16:21] for command? [16:21] oh ok thanks [16:22] oorah, try Tilda. [16:22] you can stop prosesses in task-manager-thing [16:22] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilda_%28software%29 [16:22] likemindead, whats Tilda? [16:22] It's amazing is what it is. ;-) [16:23] Quake-style drop down terminal emulator. [16:23] i wish there was a force quit. its stupid that there is no gyachi icon even though i see it in network, but its ok i found a yellow smiley in the icons list [16:23] what do you mean quake-style? [16:23] I have it start up with each session & then you just hit F1 to drop it down. Highly customizable. [16:24] !tilda [16:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about tilda [16:24] :-( [16:25] http://imagebin.ca/img/op0PjE_B.png [16:26] is it possible that the gyachi icon is just available for gnome only? [16:27] no [16:27] this is weird, gyachi isn't loading when i click the icon i just put up [16:27] oh i fixed it [16:27] i forgot the command lol i feel dumb [16:28] Sysi, so if the icon is in the app/network menu it has to be on the system somewhere, right? [16:29] i think so [16:29] maybe name is odd? [16:29] Sysi, any idea where else to look? lol [17:02] quit [17:57] locking in a kernel. You can do this with synaptic, supposedly. I did this and other kernels were installed. Does this function work? [18:00] I have DKMS but I still have to change settings in certain apps after a kernel upgrade. I wouldn't mind waiting months between small upgrades rather than days or weeks. [18:41] what application will allow me to setup dual monitors, like the display manager in gnome? [18:42] Settings>Display [18:42] I believe. [18:42] (I've never set up dual monitors... I wish!) [18:42] i tried that, but it only detects my main monitor [18:43] thanks though :) [18:43] xrandr? [18:43] what video card, ati/nvidia/intel? [18:44] intel [18:44] Yeah, XrandR seems to be the way to go. [18:45] !xrandr [18:45] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [18:45] cool, I'll give it a shot. Thanks guys [18:46] :D [18:48] \m/ (((do_ob)) \m/ [19:02] <_Techie_> likemindead, still around? [19:02] Yep. [19:02] <_Techie_> wait scratch that, was meaning droid7, but hes gone [19:02] Ah. ;-) [19:03] <_Techie_> i have dual head init scripts that he could have used [19:04] I'm rocking an old 700MHz PIII Dell laptop. Dual monitors are a dream for me.... [19:05] <_Techie_> haha, 3ghz Celeron D here, dualies are a necessity [19:06] i wish i'd have second screen [19:06] with nvidia it should be easy to configure [19:06] <_Techie_> yeah, should be a peice of cake... i did it with an ATI [19:08] my friend also [19:08] for 2 days [19:10] I still wish laptops were more modular, i.e. made with mini-PCI ports that would accept mini-PCI graphics cards & such. [19:10] <_Techie_> yeah [19:27] <_Techie_> anyone know a quick and easy way to rsync to smb? [19:33] mount it with smbfs and then rsync? === __Techie_ is now known as _Techie_ [21:57] hey can someone tell me how i get iRecovery running on xubuntu? [23:14] hi! [23:15] somebody alive? [23:15] ;o
