[03:53] no but i buy them for my nephew [03:53] i am an asreoids hero [07:13] Hey, recently installed xubuntu, but I can't seem to get any icons on my desktop? I try dragging them, but that doesn't work. [07:13] Any ideas? [07:18] ? === halite is now known as E^Z [11:21] hi [11:23] i'm looking for a way to monitor processes that run on my system for some 30 minutes. Usually i start then and i'd like to become notified upon completion. However i'd prefer some notification area over a popup and i'd also prefer not to mess with the shell starting the process. So the most favourable thing would be having a python script check for process completion and turn some light/knob/website from blue to red/green depending on [11:23] the exit code. [11:23] now the questions: Is there something already implementing this feature? And how can i wait for a process and determine its exit status, if i'm not the parent process? [12:03] help meeeeeeeeeeeee [12:03] anyone? === edson is now known as Guest8360 [12:04] can someone please help me? [12:04] hellooooo.....? [12:08] idiot [12:18] hello all. have just installed xubuntu9.10. when i want to open stuff from the desktop, or files in the file browser i have to do three click instead of two. anyone seen this before? [12:38] balvonas, that's not a very good attitude/manners from you either. [12:42] i'm a hater what can i say [14:49] morning all [14:50] morning [14:55] oh [14:56] does OpenOffice require KDE? [14:56] nope [14:56] cool, can't wait to install xubuntu [14:56] but you can use qt if you want for openoffice widgets [14:56] :) [14:56] qt? [14:57] what widgets are you referring to (very little experience here) [14:57] would you suggest 9.10, or 9.04 [14:57] someone said 9.10 had some bugs [14:57] aha [14:57] nothing then [14:57] my laptop is 256MB + 800 MHz processor, xubuntu would be okay? [14:57] just install openoffice and go :) [14:57] it should be but [14:58] use alternate install [14:58] oh, b/c the installer is resource intensive? [14:58] desktop installation requires a little mre ram [14:58] yeah and no [14:59] if you use gui installer then there is requrement for that (i belive its 256 but its minimum). for text install there is 128 mb ram or less nedded [14:59] :) [14:59] so you say don't install the desktop? [14:59] no [14:59] okay understood [14:59] install desktop but in another way [14:59] gotcha [14:59] you candonwload xubuntu 9.10 alternet disk :) [14:59] *download [14:59] *alternate [15:00] let me try that (I'll be Ok with text installer) [15:00] debating on buying ram to upgrade to 512MB [15:01] system should run reasonably well on 256 tho no> [15:01] ? [15:01] i think so [15:01] i have 512mb of ram and it runs nice [15:01] but im not sure for 256 [15:01] def. fster than windows [15:02] if its slow then use zenwalk since its faster than xubuntu :) [15:02] last quest, can you point me to the alt install dist? [15:02] yes [15:02] zenwalk hmm? [15:02] one sec please [15:03] sorry [15:03] wait [15:03] on xubuntu site it says it is enoug 192 mb of ram for live disk install [15:03] hmm [15:03] maybe its true. [15:03] check this out [15:03] http://www.xubuntu.org/get [15:04] ps. here is alternate xubuntu discs: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/karmic/release/alternate/ [15:04] *here are [15:04] ok [15:04] have you used zenwalk? [15:04] is it >> faster than zenwalk [15:05] yes i have [15:05] I mean is it >> faster than xubuntu? [15:05] zenwalk is faster than xubuntu [15:05] how is the hardware detection? [15:05] =? [15:05] not >> but > [15:05] well [15:05] go ti #zenwalk [15:05] *to [15:05] ask there (we will not flame here) [15:06] so I'd probably be better off with xubuntu as a first go, then try zenwalk when I'm comfortable [15:06] yes [15:06] that is nice resolve [15:06] :) [15:07] okay then, I'll bbl [15:07] downloading now [15:07] dont forget to use torrent so you can share xubuntu with other leches :) [16:37] am i in? don't see any chatter .. [16:38] :) [16:38] k, thx [16:38] waiting for a friend, gonna help her install here [16:38] okay then [16:38] im here and so are many friends :) [16:39] yea :) [17:50] some sort of system messages aren't showing up correctly. [17:51] It is like the place I would see a dialog box of some kind, it just shows up as a black rectangle like it won't draw to the screen. [18:09] guys i stopped the update manager midstream and now have a milion error messages .. is that a job for 'autoremove' corrupted files? [18:09] no [18:09] apt-get install -f [18:09] then use autoremove [18:11] sudo apt-get install -f ?? [18:12] da [18:12] sorry. yes [18:12] djura-san, and then sudo apt-get autoremove ?? [18:13] yes [18:13] try it [18:13] or you can manually remove apps that are conflicting [18:13] but its better to use "-f" option in apt-get [18:13] :) [18:15] ok, thanks, i'm helping someone remote also, and i think i overloaded the synaptic installer [18:15] be back soon i'm sure, thx again [18:16] does anyone know why xubuntu would have odd graphics for me [18:19] emmy it can be many things. [18:19] this looks like notifier error [18:20] so you can disable it [18:20] tell us, when can you see those "odd" graphics [18:20] ? [18:20] what do you do to produce them? [18:22] djura-san, seems i see it in association with what I assume are messages from network manager, but possibly other notifications. [18:22] yeah [18:22] that is notification error [18:22] so you can remove it but [18:22] where I *assume* a notification would be, or some other dialog, instead I see a black rectangle with some static in it. [18:22] tell me is there any graphic drivers on your system? [18:22] not sure [18:23] i don't remember installing any.. [18:23] that is the problem [18:23] you saee [18:23] that notification thing is configured to work with composite efects by default [18:24] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY [18:24] that's my video card. [18:24] is there a way to turn off or to fix something there [18:24] yes [18:24] let me check [18:25] oh thankyou [18:26] use [18:26] her it is [18:26] *herer [18:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360080 [18:27] it will do the tricks [18:27] *trick [18:27] sorry xchat froze up [18:27] djura-san, [18:28] okay [18:28] see this page [18:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360080 [18:28] there is solution [18:28] thanks [18:33] djura-san, do you know why xubuntu 9.10 can let me use wifi when it's not encrypted but it can't work with even wep ? [18:33] nope [18:33] im not familiar with wifi [18:33] hm, it's very tricky on linux. it never really works. [18:33] ask in #ubuntu [18:33] there must be a way [18:33] :) [18:36] maybe driver is just bad [18:38] i'm sure it isn't any good but how do you get a better one
